To-ALowtow.-Morning, s.sm.—Afternoon, 31.1. 16w. • , ,14 ithit t A Cl"", 11 It 4ivvy LONDON, SATURDAY, AUG. 31, 18 The Emperor NAPOLEON paid a visit to the Bourse yesterday, and, in answer to a speech from the President of the Chamber of Commerce, his Majesty made some emphatic remarks. " Business," he said, " would progress better if certain journals did not exaggerate the situation. I hope that com merce will improve with the certainty of peace, and I shall do everything in my power to re-establish confidence." No doubt these decided expressions will have due effect upon the nation in general, and upon those agitators in particular who are constantly on the alert to magnify trifles, and to make some thing out of nothing. This is a very mischievous habit, and the sooner it is put a stop to the better, for it injures trade, and it causes disquietude to many. The effect of the EMPEROR'S speech was discernible on the funds of yesterday, which rose on receipt of the telegram announcing the pacific tendency of the address at Lille. It seems, according to accounts from Frankfort, that the Berlin press was in fault for creating the war-alarm, and that the object thus sought to be gained was to find some revelations of the Schleswig Conferences from the Austrian and French papers. This is very likely to be the case, and it is certainly very much of a piece with the policy pursued for some time past by that Power. No doubt the Emperor NAPOLEON was actuated by the wisest motives in making these observations, and hoped thereby to put a stop to the injurious reports which have been gaining ground. For many reasons it would be matter of regret if a Continental war should break out at this time, and in the interests of Europe generally, as well as the more special cases of the countries referred to, we may rejoice that the political horizon should be so clear. Satisfactory as the intelligence is, however, it is, in all pro bability, but a temporary matter, for the best that can be expected of Prussia is that she will keep tranquil for a brief space. As to remaining satisfied with what she has already acquired that the experience of the past unfortunately shows to be not likely, and no sooner will people begin to congratulate themselves upon the quiescent state of things than new troubles will arise and fresh doubts intrude themselves. The course pursued by the Berlin Government with respect to Denmark is anything but reassuring, under whatever aspect we regard it. Proofs are continually furnished of the dangerous game that is being played, and the deep projects that are entertained. The Prussian Minister of Agriculture was entertained by the citizen elect of Iladersleben, and among the toasts were those of " Schleswig Indivisible," inseparable union with Prussia, &c., which shows that, after all the promises that have been made andto the Treaty ac t ua lly signed, there is eve r y reason expect want of faith on the part of the Prussian authorities. Upon a review of the matter, it seems very likely that the Emperor NAPOLEON has not changed his tactics after all, but rather he has contradicted the unfounded assertions of those who attached a wrong meaning to them. At any rate then we are to conclude that peace is to be the order of the day, and that we are to dismiss all rumours of war as devoid of meaning. It is a relief to have arrived at a definite conclusion, and whatever disturbances may hereafter arise nothing need now interfere with those prospects which have been so materially affected by the untoward state of affairs. The affairs of Ireland have ever and anon engaged attention during the past session, but in variably something has appeared to render their consideration most unsatisfactory, and the wrath and indignation of Irish members have been most excessive in discoursing upon the wrongs sustained by their ill-used country. What with one thing and another it must be confessed that our wsocia tions with the Emeral Isle have not been very pleasant ones of late, and it is therefore the more satisfactory to come across some more genial intelli gence. The annual banquet of the Royal Agricul tural Society was given on Wednesday, and the affair passed off very successfully. The speech of the Lord-Lieutenant was a very good one, and he con trived to show many satisfactory traits in the prospects of the country, although it must be admitted that he spoke under disadvantageous circumstances. He was enabled to congratulate his hearers upon the " very great success" of the Show they had that day witnessed. There have been, as his Excellency stated, reasons during the two years that have elapsed since the society met why it might have been expected that' the farming interest of Ireland should not flourish, but the contrary has been shown to be the case. The present season has been one of unusual distress for the poor, and a large number were in receipt of Poor-law relief at the beginning of this month, but there is much to be said on the reverse side of the case ; and, while regretting this temporary depression, we may conclude that the condition of the labouring classes is more prosperous now than it was some fif teen years ago. There has been a decrease in the emigration returns, and this is satisfactory in telligence of itself. Notwithstanding the political disturbances that have taken place, the amount of crime is less this year than on former occasions. On the whole, we may say that his Excellency was correct in his favourable estimate of things, and we hope, with him, that the storms which still hang over the horizon may pass away ; that the " loyalty of the great bulk of the people, and a return of good sense even to some of those who have been misled, will result in that which all but the enemies of Ire land must wish to see, the increased prosperity of its people, and the return of social confidence, and all hose advantages which it alone is able to confer." A great deal of eloquence is wasted on the posi tion and prospects of our army, and ingenuity is exhausted to discover some means of increasing the number of recruits. All the while the most obvious causes of the growing indifference, if not dislike, to the army as a profession lie unnoticed before our eyes. We pension disabled heroes, whom we know will never again be able to work for their living, thanks to their faithful service in the Royal army, with an allowance of sixpence or eightpence a day, and allow them to get home, as best they can, to tell their tale to the young men who want to know what a soldier's life is like. The enfeebled veteran, as he " shoulders his crutch, and shows how fields were won," may also point the moral of his poverty-stricken and helpless age. Then we tolerate the infliction of a very great injustice, the perpetuation of a grievance which gives real tangible ground of complaint to many of our bravest men. The delay in giving the prize -money is one of the most inexcusable of the petty injustices allowed under the name of discipline. A striking instance is now before us in the case of the Kirwee prize money. Nine years ago was this money awarded nominally, and not a penny have the men yet re ceived. A twelvemonth since some stir was made in the matter, and it vras confidently believed that immediate distribution might be expected. How- THE SUN, LONDON, SATUROAY EVENING AUGUST 31, 1i67. ever nothing has as yet been done, and the men in some regiments have become so hopeless of waiting longer that they are selling their shares at £1 each. Worse still, in other cases men have been induced to borrow money on the faith of the Government promises, and have consequently become involved in great straits. Instead of a gain in such cases the prize money becomes an absolute loss. It is a strange reward to give to a man for courage and devotion to the service to subject him to all the harass and disappointment of a " life deferred" during nine weary years. In many cases in which the rules and regulations of the service become oppressive there is at least a pre tence of reason or necessity, but for the with holding of fairly earned prize money there is no shadow of an excuse. Such conduct on the part of the authorities is the more blameable, because soldiers are not free to agitate for justice as men in other professions are. They are bound by rule and discipline, and it is only by stealth, as it were, that they can make grievances known. We shall never have a good supply of efficient recruits until we show that we treat our soldiers when fairly enlisted with justice and consi deration. The prize money is an old grievance ; but old grievances ought by this time to be removed. Army reforms are much talked about ; but in wait ing for an elaborate alteration and remodelling of our whole system, it would surely be possible to have such matters as these set right, and to take care that for the future when prize money is fairly earned it should be fairly awarded, not withheld until some of the claimants are dead, and others, weary of long delay, have relinquished their claim. documents. " Being occupied at this moment in writing the history of another Caesar, named Napoleon Bona parte, I want documents relative to his appearance on the scene of the world. " In short, I want all the pamphlets to which the 13th Vendemaire gave rise. I have applied for them to the Imperial Library, but they have been refused. There remains for me, then, no other mode than for me to address myself to you, my illustrious confrere, to whom nothing is refused, to beg you to ask, in your own name, for these pamphlets at the Library, and to have the goodness, when you shall obtain them, to place them at my disposal. " Should you comply with my request, you will have rendered me a service which, in the interest of letters (litterairement), I shall never forget. "I have the honour to be, with respect, illustrious author of the " Life of Caesar," your very humble and very grateful confrere, " ALEXANDRE DUMAS." It is said that Mr. Dumas received immediately, by the care of M. Duruy, the Minister of Public In struction, all the pamphlets asked for. The date of this letter is not given. It has been exceedingly hot to-day, and the weather appears to be again settled. Salzbourg is for the moment forgotten by the Paris journalists, who to-day devote much space to appreciation of the speeches of the Emperor at Arras and Lille. With scarcely an exception the speech is considered as confirmatory of the Empe ror's celebrated phrase "The Empire is Peace." Not content with their own opinions respecting these noble speeches, the journals publish by way of confirmation of their views the article in The Sun of Wednesday upon the subject, to which they give the legitimate prominence due to it to the exclusion of any commentary upon the opinions of any of the other London papers. The Constitutionne/ inserts the remarks of ? he Sun immediately after its account of the progress of the Emperor and Empress. The intelligence from America confirms the pre vioug reports of the unwillingness of General GRANT to consent to the suspension of SHERIDAN. It is currently reported that he protested against the order, on the grouni of its being contrary to the wishes of the people. The PRESIDENT replied, by acknowledging the brilliant military services of SHERIDAN, but contended that he lacked the judg ment and moderation of THOMAS. It does not seem to require much experience to be aware that the same qualities which make a brilliant and success ful general are not likely to make a just a nd tem perate civil governor. General SHERIDAN especially, whose somewhat harsh i n terpretation of the laws of war rendered his name unpopular in this country at the time of the desolation of the Shenandoah, is ill qualified by nature and habit for the discharge of his difficult and somewhat invidious office in the South. Few of the military commanders appointed under the Reconstruction Act have fulfilled their duties with out unnecessary severity and interference with the civil officers, and General SHERIDAN has not cer tainly been among those few. In fact, he has set a prominent example, not only of sternness and despotism to the people under his charge, but of absolute disrespect to the PRESIDENT. After the suspension of STANTON the removal of SHERIDAN was confidently looked for, and excited little sur prise, though as we have seen it called forth some opposition. General GRANT and the PRESIDENT are since reported to have come to an understanding, and General GRANT has transmitted the order to THOMAS. Whether the latter disliked the office of superseding his more brilliant rival is uncertain, but he has pleaded ill health, and his duty is delegated to General HANcocK. General SICKLES, it is thought, will be the next charge. He persists in his interference with the Federal Courts, and the processes of the Circuit Court of North Carolina are still obstructed by his authority. The PRESIDENT has made a con cession in SHERIDAN'S favour by transferring him to the command of the department of Missouri. The change may, perhaps, teach him moderation, but it is a lesson hard to learn by one used to the unscrupulous exercise of well nigh irresponsible power. The disaffected Radical officials can always obtain some consolation out of doors. Large meet ings have been held by Radical soldiers and sailors at Washington and Philadelphia with respect to the removal of Mr. STANTON, at which the conduct of the ex-Secretary was loudly applauded, and his suspension denounced.

The annual meeting of this association was held yesterday afternoon at Manchester, Mr. John Cheetham, M.P., presiding. There was a good attendance. Mr. Watts, the secretary, presented the annual report, which says : " Ten years ago the supply of cotton, though chiefly from one source, seemed abundant and se cure, and the solicitude which some evinced to open up other and additional sources appeared to super ficial observers to be only the result of nervous timidity and groundless fears. The course of events has since, however, shown the wisdom and foresight in which the association originated. Its labours, though but partially encouraged by those whose in terests were involved in its success, contributed greatly to alleviate the distress occasioned b nt the y the co tton famine, and have done much to pve recurrence of a similar calamity. Ilad it not existed the means of stimulating and assisting the growth of cotton in other countries when war arrested the supplies from America would have been wanting. But, h a ppily, the preparatory work to some extent had been done when the sudden collapse of the American cotton trade made it necessary to look elsewhere for the raw material required by our manu facturers. The result of previous investigations then became of great value in showing where cotton could be obtained most speedily, and where the as sociation could prosecute its labours with the greatest assurance of success. It came into existence when the largest supplies ever received from America were readily obtained, and when there appeared no pros pect of interruption. It owes its origin to the fact that even then those supplies were inadequate, and to the firm conviction that to prevent calamity it was most important that those supplies should be supplemented from other quarters of the globe. To develope as muc h as possible and by every means the cotton-growing capabilities of other countries than America was the great purpose contemplated by the association when it began its labours, and the events which have since intervened have only tended to demonstrate the wisdom and importance of its object. This object has been steadily pur sued ; difficulties have been surmounted, the sour ces of supply have been multiplied, and are now so numerous that, if retained and made still more prolific, the loss of any one of them, however valuable, will be o f com p arativel y little consequence. To retain them, and to render them more and more productive, is the special aim of your association, and to this end the efforts of your committee have during the past year been directed. Believing that the Southern States of America in their altered con dition would not furnish cotton so abundantly as before the war, your committee made it their first business to encourage renewed exertions to extend and improve the cultivation in other countries. An address prepared with this object in view was translated into the different languages spoken where cotton is grown, and widely distributed ; and your committee have learnt with much satisfaction In that fresh exertions ha ve been made in Turkey, dia, the Brazils, and elsewhere, accompanied with the more extensive use of American seed. The result has been the growth of a better quality, and cotton from Smyrna and other districts has realised in Liverpool nearly as high a price as the produce of the United States. Your committee are confident that the beneficial effect of their appeals will year by year be manifest in increased supplies of cotton, and of a higher class, from the various countries where the influence of your association is exerted. The committee aro encouraged by the experience of the past year to look with increased c onfidence to India, in consequence of the gratifying results which have attended various efforts to improve the inde genous cotton, and to introduce exotic varieties more extensively. The representations which your association so often and so long made in vain have at length produced the desired effect, and some of the objects sought have been partially attained. The committee desire to express their conviction that the work of the association during the past year, though unobtrusive, has been in the highest degree useful, and has been the means of removing diffi culties, reviving confidence, and promoting cultiva tion. The returns furnished in answer to the queries issued have appeared in the Cotton Supply Reporter, and thanks are due to the consular repre sentatives of the British Government in all cotton growing countries for their ready co-operation in carrying out the objects of your association." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and it was adopted. The other business was the re-appointment of officers, and a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Cheetham for his services as Pre sident of the Association. For Account.

The first ship that roaches the coast may sot be the winner. There are 13 ships in the race, nearly all of which left at different dates, ranging over three weeks, and the one that makes the voyage in the shortest time will be held as the winner. Tho last advices from Anjer report that the fastest ship up to that point was the Ariel, which had left Foochowfoo 12 days after the departure of the first ship, the Maitland, she having passed Anjer on the 4th of July, thus doing the dis tance in 21 days; the next was the Taeping, in 23 days, she having sailed on the 4th of June. (These two ships, it will be recollected, ran the dead heat in the last year's race.) The Fiery Cross arrived in 26 days, and the White Adder in 28 days. She sailed two days after the Fiery Cross. The other ships had not come in sight at Aujer up to the even ing of the 4th of July, the time the post was despatcled for England. PARIS, Aug. 80 The Emperor, on his passage through Amiens was presented with an address by the Mayor o that town. His Majesty iu reply said— " I have crossed France with the Empress, from Strasburg to Dunkirk, and our hearty and sympa thetic reception everywhere has filled us with the liveliest gratitude. Nothing, I perceive with plea sure, can shake the confidence which for 20 years the French people have placed in me. They have estimated at their real value the difficulties I have had to surmount. The ill success of our policy across the ocean has not diminished the prestige of our arms, since everywhere the valour of our soldiers overcame all opposition. The events accomplished in Germany have not caused our country to depart from a calm and dignified attitude, and it relies with justice on the maintenance of peace. "The excitement of a small minority has not caused us to lose the hope of seeing more liberal institutions peaceably introduced in our public life. The tem porary stagnation in commercial affairs has not prevented the industrial classes from showing me their sympathy, and from relying upon the efforts of the Government to give a fresh impetus to com merce. I have found with pleasure these sentiments of confidence and devotion existing at Amiens and in the whole department of Somme, which places have always shown a sincere attachment to me, and where a residence of six years proved to me that misfortune is a good school to learn to support the burden of power, and to avoid the dangers of fortune."

They were to leave Lille at midday on their return to Paris. Yesterday the Emperor and Empress went to Roubaix and T ourcoing, an d were everywhere received with loyal enthusiasm. At Roubaix the Emperor received the Lieutenant- General in command of the 2d territorial division, and the Governoi of the province of Hainault who had been sent by the King of the Belgians to compliment his Majesty. The King of the Belgians has arrived at Lille to offer his congratu lations to the Emperor and Empress. Conformably with the traditional custom a religious service was celebrated on Sunday last on the occasion of the fete of St. Louis. The Holy Father, accompanied by his personal guard, went to the Church of St. Louis des Francais, in which the ceremony took place, and was received by the charge d'affaires and the members of the French embassy. A numerous assemblage of persons pressed around his Holiness, who received cordial marks of respect from all classes. We are still without further authentic news from Spain, but the telegraph continues to give pub licity to accounts concocted by the Government, intended to create the belief that the insurgent generals have been arrested, and that it is all over with the cause of rebellion. An imperial ordinance has been issued at Vienna, conferring upon Baron Bengt, chevalier of the Em pire, the first rank at court, after the Grand Mar shal of the Palace. The opening of the railway from Vitry to Fou geres has been effected n u der the most favourable auspices. Some sixty years ago the country was a wild, desolate spot, more remarkable for the out rages of the Chouans than anything else. Now civilisation has rendered it the abode of industry and the seat of prosperity. This railway from Fougeres connects that town with the lines of the Western Railway at Vitry, between Rennes and Laval. Its length is 37 kilometres. It was con structed in 13 months, at an expense of only 67,500 f. the kilometre upon the average, although the works are very elaborate, and include a hand some viaduct 115 metres long. The alleged cures of the Zouave Dr. Jacob have created unusual curiosity and attention in Paris. In deed the crowds of patients were so numerous in the Rue de la Roquette, and there were so many com plaints of the interruption to business that the autho ties have put a stop to his consultations for the pre sent. There is a strong belief that he has the power to cure almost all the diseases " which flesh is heir to," but at the same time no less an authority than Marshall Forey pronounces his opinion that the belief or power is an 'illusion. The Marshal sent for the doctor. The patient was in his garden, supported ou one side by his stick, and leaning with the other hand on the shoulder of his servant. The doctor merely gave a military salute, without say ing a word. His only system of cure, according to the Marshal's idea, is to make the patient exert his weak limbs to the utmost. The Marshal did so, but was so exhausted, that after much pain he was compelled to sit down in an area chair. The Mar shal, therefore, believes that Dr. Jacob cannot cure anybody. Where the members axe quite useless he TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 27. At the Council of Ministers held to-day, under the presidency of the Sultan, his Majesty spoke in favour of the construction of railways throughout the Empire. The concession for a line to Belgrade was approved and granted to the Servian Company, and the only point still to be settled is the State guarantee. Constantinople letters and journals to the 21s have reached us. They confirm, as will be seen below, several facts already announced briefly by telegram, such as the arrival of the Viceroy of Egypt, the appearance in the Bosphorus of the Quaker City, &c., but adding some details. We take the subjoined summary of incidents from the Levant Herald :—" A special meeting of the Grand Council has just been held at Dolma Baghtche. It is understood that the deliberations had reference to the new reforms about to be promulgated by Imperial decree. One of these reforms will, it is believed, consist of the formation of a national council. The whole of the ministers and their mustechars having been summoned to take part at this special meeting, there was no business done on Monday at the Porte.—The despatch of a Government steamer to Varna within the last few days with a strong reinforcement of troops for the second corps d'armee has been the subject of general remark. It appears that Midhat Pasha, the governor of the vilaet of the Danube, telegraphed to the Porte that disturb ances had broken out at Sophia in Bulgaria, and that a regiment had been sent there to re store order, and in consequence of this tele gram the Government at once despatched the reinforcement in question to Varna. The Viceroy of Egypt has arrived in the Bosphorus from France in his fine steam-yacht, the Mahrousee, under the command of Capt. Frederico Bey, which made the run from Toulon, without stopping anywhere, i❑ four days and a few hours, being an average speed of above 14 knots an hour. The Viceroy was much pleased with the way in which his favourite yacht made this splendid run. His Highness has taken up his quarters at the viceregal palace at Emirghian. On the evening of the meeting of the Grand Council, the Sultan gave a banquet in his honour at Dolm-Baghtche.—We understand that arrangements are on the eve of completion by which the Italian Government enters into a con tract for a term of years with the Egyptian Azizich Company, for the conveyance of the Italian mails from Alexandria to Brindisi, Ancona, and Venice, for a sum of £50,000 per annum. This service will be performed by five of the finest of the Azizich steamers, the Chapkieh, Dahelieh, Behera, Tantah, and Rahmanieh. The matter is said to have been decided upon when King Victor Emmanuel was last at Venice. The Italian Government stipulates that the vessels shall each have an Italian captain, doctor, and pilot, but they will be manned by their regular Arab crews, and worked in all other respects in the usual manner. Our Western readers will perhaps be a little surprised to hear of a contract for the conveyance of European mails being given to a Mussulman Steam Navigation Company. The steam yacht Quaker City has arrived in the Golden Horn from the coast of Italy with sixty-six American excursionists, among whom are the Hon. Jacob S. Haldemann, Ex-United States Minister at Stockholm, Colonel J. Heron Foster, editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch, Colonels Kinney and Denny, and Mr. J. Greenwood, jun., agent for Barnum's Museum, for which he is collecting curiosities. The Quaker City left New York on the Bth June, and has called at Fayal, in the Azores, Gibraltar, Mar seilles (whence the excursionists proceeded to Paris), Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, and Athens. She has now left for the Crimea, and is to return in a week, when she will proceed to Smyrna, Beyrout, and Jaffa for the Holy Land. The French frigate Forbin arrived in port on Monday morning and exchanged the customary salutes with the Turkish guardship in the harbour. We understand that one of the local Turkish newspapers called the Ainci V atan (The Mirror of the Country) has been sup pressed for publishing an article concerning the promotion of public functionaries. A letter from Tunis states that cholera which had raged there with great severity for some time, carrying off as many as 50 victims a day, had almost entirely disap peared. Many deaths which had taken place at Spat, Biserta, Monastir, and other parts of the Regency were to be attributed rather to starvation from the famine which prevailed among the poor in those localities than to cholera. While the latter scourge was at its height at Tunis, the efforts of the Consular body, and the active agency of two charitable societies established in the capital, con ,ributed a great deal to mitigate the sufferings of he people." AMERICA. (Per Russia.) NEW YORK, August 21. The following are the orders issued by the Presi dent and General Grant removing Sheridan : " Executive Mansion, August 17. " Major-General George H. Thomas is hereby a2signed to the command of the sth Military District, created by Act of Congress on the 2d of March, 1867. Major P. H. Sheridan is hereby assigned to the command of the department of the Missouri. " Major Winfield S. Hancock is hereby assigned ,o the command of the Department of the Cum- berland. " The Secretary of War ad interim will give the necessary instructions to carry this order into effec " ANDREW JOHNSON." " In pursuance of the foregoing order of the Pre sident, Major-General G. 11. Thomas will, on re ceipt of this order, turn over his present command to the officer next in rank to himself, and proceed to New Orleans to relieve General Sheridan of the command of the Fifth Military District General Sheridan, on being relieved, will proceed to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and will relieve Gen. Hancock of the command of the department of the Missouri. General Hancock, on being relieved by General Sheridan, will proceed to Louisville, Ken tucky, and assume command of the department of the Cumberland. " Major-General Thomas will continue to execute all orders he may find in force in the Fifth Military District at- the time of his assuming command, unless authorised by the General of the Army to alter, annul, or modify them. " Major-General Sheridan before relieving Major-General Hancock will report in person a these headquarters. " U. S. GRANT, General.' MARKETS.---This day. COVENT GARDEN. It is reported that the President, in an unofficia note, informed General Grant that ho would be happy to receive his suggestions regarding the pro posed changes, previous to issuing the order, and that Grant replied at length respectfully protesting against the removal of Sheridan, on the grounds that the step would be unwise just now, and con trary to the wishes of the people generally, which ought to be respected. Grant's letter is said to have been very friendly. President Johnson replied, also in very friendly style, alluding in terms of praise to Sheridan's bril liant military services, but stating that the services of General Thomas had been no less valuable, while he possessed moderation and impartial judgment in a higher degree than Sheridan, and was consequently better fitted to command the Fifth District. In making the change, the President was only acting for the best interests of the country. As to the wishes of the 'people, he (the President) believed that the people desired to have the Constitution obeyed, and he did not think Sheridan was adminis tering the Government of his district with due re spect for the Constitution. A further exchange of letters, and a subsequent interview between the President and Grant is said to have resulted in a harmonious understanding upon the subject, and the endorsement of Mr. Johnson's action by the General. The removal of Sickles is regarded as highly pro bable, in consequence of his palpable contempt of the President's orders prohibiting his interference with Federal Court processes in North Carolina.

LEVESON GOWER. —We regret to state that a somewhat serious accident happened on IVesines day to Mr. J. Levoson Gower, of Horkesley, one of the county magistrates of the Lexd6n and Winstree division. Mr. Gower was riding his horse along the Bergh°lt-road on his way to the Colchester flower-show, his carriage contain ing a party of ladies being in advance. Mr. Gower's horse shied and threw him, injuring his head and neck, and he lay for some time by the road side bleeding. Mr. Gower' , servant, who was riding behind, proceeded to his master' , assistance, and the injured gentleman being placed in his carriage was driven home. Mr. Philbrick, surgeon, of Colchester, was shortly in attendance upon him, and we aro happy to hear from that gentleman that his patient was as well as could be expected, no bones being broken, and it was hoped that he K as not soriously injurod.—Chelins ford Chronicle. The Journal de Frankfort publishes the follow ing :—‘, A certificate of studies has been communi cated to us, which was delivered at the expiration of the half-year 1821-2 to the future Emperor Napoleon 111., who was at that time in the fifth class of the College of St. Anne, at Augsburg. The docu ment is as follows :—' No. 21. Prince Charles Louis Napoleon, son of the Duke de St. Leu, of Rome ; born at Paris ; belonging to the Catholic reli gion ; aged fourteen years and five months ; gifted with many good qualities, in the develop ment of which he has laboured with much zeal, so that he has made good advancement in the German language, in Latin, and in arithmetic, and pretty good in Greek and in history—in general, therefore, considerable progress. His quiet manner towards his fellow-pupils is deserving of praise, as also the respect and gratefulness with which he has accepted even disagreeable tasks. He has the 24th place ; the difficulties of the German language, of which he is not yet master, have prevented him from obtaining a higher rank. Besides he is publicly commended, and he can pass into a superior class.' The certificate for the preceding six months rays :—' This pupil possesses an ardent feeling for all that is elevated, good, and beautiful ; he would have made great progress if illness had not on several occasions prevented him from at tending the class.'" THE SETT/AGE OF TOWNS. A mass of valuable information on this subject has just been issued from the press. The papers by various authors read at the congress on the sewage of towns held at Leamington,Warwickshire, last year have been gathered into a volume. It is stated in the introduction to the papers that one chief object of the congress has been attained in making plain the nature and causes of the failures in our sanitary ar rangements, and the many evils which have arisen out of them, owing to the unnatural admixture of excreta with large quantities of water, and to the pre vailing custom of employing water as the vehicle for their removal out of our houses. It is argued that vast benefits will accrue to the community at large from ceasing to use water, and, in place of water, resorting to the natural agency of earth, which is as old as the creation itself. Experience has taught that, after the admixture of water with excreta, a putrid fermentation and decomposition result. The noxious gases generated while this decomposition is in progress fill our habitations with impure air, and become the frequent cause of epidemics, while the decomposing sewage water, escaping from the Wl' perfectly constructed sewers percolates into the wells of drinking water. Mr. Hitchman goes on to state that the result of irrigation with sewage water un satisfactory in a commercial point of vie w, and of doubtful value agriculturally; while, in a sanitary point of view, the effects of saturating a large sur face of land with decomposed sewage water becomes a still further source of evil. Both the liquid and solid excreta may be made portable and inoffensive, and removed from houses with regularity by a staff of officers duly appointed. By the exclusion of water, and the mixture of earth with excreta, which is in accordance with the laws of nature, all the evils of a putrefact i v e decomposi tion are avoided. The working of the earth-closet system at Baron Rothschild's estate is described by Mr. James to be perfectly successful. " The cot' tagers express themselves grateful for this addition to their health and comfort. The village has uul t i no foul smells, nor are the ditches any longer fillet' with liquid filth." This is the result of a simPle mixture of dry earth with the soil ; and is in accord' ance with the Divine command, receive d throng° the great lawgiver Moses, in his well-known rule for the sanitary arrangement of the Jewish 0 14 ; Mr. Garnett, of Quernmore-park, describes the r f sult of the same system in the neighbourhood (3'. 1 0 Lancaster thus :—" The dry earth system 11 0 , operation affords accommodation to about 200 faul.,ll lies, besides 170 bands employed in a cotton ral` 180 in a iron foundry, 350 in a large waggon W ol.l° o ' 180 boys in the Royal Grammar School, 340 cbil df f ie in the National Schools, and to 12 cells i n the Cast of Lancaster, occupied by male prisoners, and in case has any complaint been made ; on the C OII , O trary, the system, after having had a fair trial! p ron ounced to be successful. Mr. Craig , treytll/: the subject as one of national as well as sanitary importance, shows that Austria is almost banklll„i in her exchequer, mainly t hrou g h the exhaustion; the soil. Until recently she exported her bone mau ti i.oo and threw away her sewage into the Danube; 1/1.1_,0 China and Japan have turned bo th to p rofitable ; on the land.
