The more one considers the state of things the more important does it seem that the question of Reform should have been so far advanced and put in so forward a stage. There is enough, and more than enough, for the House of Commons and for the public to think of in the various details of the bill during the time that will elapse before its going into committee. Notwithstanding Mr. GLADSTONE'S extraordinary conduct, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced his intention of bringing on Lis Budget next week, we do not see that the interval is any too long to afford hon. members an opportunity of considering the scheme more calmly and carefully than they have hitherto been able to do with the confusion that has pre vailed. In short, Mr. GLADSTONE himself has been the chief defaulter, and in consequence of the outcry he has raised it has been quite impossible for any one to turn their attention from watching his proceedings. What with speculating upon his chance of success in turning out the Ministry, and what with making surmises as to the course Go vernment would pursue, the Bill itself has been made quite secondary. Now, however, that the pro jects of faction have virtually failed, we may hope that nothing will interpose to prevent that fair consideration being given to the measure which it demands and deserves. There is nothing in its construction to prevent its being converted into a measure well calculated to secure the end in view, the improvement of the repre sentation of the people, but, on the contrary, much to approve of. In the first place, it is by far the most comprehensive and liberal Reform Bill that has been offered since the passing of the measure in 1832. It goes further, and takes in more claims and requirements than any of the vaunted schemes of Earl RUSSELL, to which he referred the other night with so much self-complacency in the House of Lords ; and it is incomparably better than the joint production of Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. BRIGHT, which was last year introduced to the House of Commons, and which was thought so wonderful by some that all who opposed it were to be classed as traitors and recusants for ever. Perhaps one of the chief recommendations of the measure now before Parliament is that it is no " pet project" of the Ministers, and they have no special regard for any part of it. This is a much safer prospect than when a scheme is prepared con cerning which it is resolved to fight to the utter most, so that this clause may pass, and that idea be carried out in its entirety. We may depend upon it that the country is more likely to suffer from the introduction of a one-sided scheme, backed up by a Government commanding a majority in Parliament, than when those in power really seek to attain the sanction of the Legislature for those proposals which are intended to satisfy the wants of the people, and not to gratify any ambitious desire, or fulfil the ends of party. Far from thinking that the present Government being unfitted for the task of bringing in a Reform Bill, we believe that they are the best adapted for the purpose, for they enter on the work free from prejudice, and unfet tered by the trammels of party. It is not at all to the credit of the leaders of the Liberal party that they should have set their faces so determinedly against the measure put before them, and declared that it was almost impossible to amend it. We hope for better things from the party itself,:however, and feel convinced that they will not follow in the wake of Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. BRIGHT when they make their endless objections in committee. In fact they have already virtually ignored the command, entreaties, and objurgations of the right hon. gentleman the member for South Lancashire. Had his wishes been realised the second reading would not have taken place on Tuesday, and the Ministerial scheme would now be at an end. They must not think, however, that they need not be on their guard any longer, because a great deal of mischief may still be wrought notwithstanding the advantages gained. It is very difficult to decide exactly what Mr. GLADSTONE'S plans are. It is true that the points he was especially opposed to no longer threaten him, but who can tell what his crotchets may in duce him to do, and to what lengths he may not go in the furtherance of some fresh undertaking. With care and foresight on the part of all who really desire that a Reform Bill may pass this Ses sion there is no fear whatever of the result being satisfactory ; but to obtain this success the care must be taken. Nothing could possibly have in spired more confidence than the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's the other night. It stated that the passing of the measure was the ono thing needful in the eyes of the Government, and that all other mattets should be secondary and subservient. His remarks must have been wormwood and gall to Mr. GLADSTONE, who bad hailed the dual voting and the lodger franchise as patent auxiliaries in his cause. What other weapons he has in his armoury we know not, but they cannot be sc effective as those doomed projects would have been. We gather more from the language of Mr. DISRAELI than that wisdom reigns in the counsels of the Cabinet, for we find that they are animated by the right spirit, and are fully resolved to go through with their work. We cannot overrate its difficulty, but neither can the importance and interest of the undertaking be for gotten, and in wishing them success we are only desiring to secure to the community at large the boon which they have so long and so ardently desired. We should imagine that by this time every one has heard nearly enough of German unity, but they must not expect that they have by any means done with it yet. On the contrary, it seems to threaten us with its intrusion more and more as time goes on, and enables Count BISMARCK to con tinue his ambitious desigba, and to complete his audacious schemes: The last grand exploit of his policy that has been made patent to the world is the treaty he has been making with South Germany, and of this it seems that his admirers are very pleased. There never was a man so overrated as this Prus sian Minister is, and he will be, we presume, until he meets with failure. It is not in the nature of things that his career should be always co graiul as it has been, and the pages of histori are filled with THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1867 similar instances of temporary elevation ; but no thing teaches people so much as experience. One thing that is strange at any rate is the delusion that prevails in many places concerning the invincibility of the Germans. It is really quite ridiculous to be always talking as if they must be permitted to do just what they please because we cannot help their doing so, and if we or any other nation oppose them we must be worsted in the encounter. Ac cording to this argument, if the Berlin Government deem it advisable to secure a portion of French territory, or to appropriate a section of the British belongings, there will be nothing for it but to bow to the will of the magnate of Prussia. It is time that we should look to things as they are, and remember that numbers do not constitute strength; the Fi ench will not so deceive themselves at any rate, and before long we shall not be sur prised to see them exposing the fallacy of this notion of German immobility in a very practical manner. There can be little or nothing to inspire valour in the armies of Germany, when there is no real coun try to fight for, and the only object of the war will be in reality to secure the supremacy of Prussia— no great inducement at any time. The American news received by the cable and by the mails is not altogether satisfactory. The wonder-working cable brings us a message from New York, dated yesterday evening, to the effect that the House of Representatives has passed a re solution declaring that they regard with solicitude the proposed Canadian Confederation. To prove still further the motive of this courteous proceeding, the same resolution expresses the national sympathy for Ireland. This in one sense neutralises the first part of the resolution, since it shows it to be the work of those extreme and violent men whose proceedings cannot be accepted as typical of the feelings of the nation ; still we learn from it how little dependence can be placed on the good sense or moderation of the American Legislature. The Fenians, perhaps encouraged by this sympathy, or stimulated by exaggerated accounts of the disturbances in Ireland, have been showing renewed activity, holding mass meetings throughout the country, and organising, it is said, an attack upon Canada, though that iis uncertain. ROBERTS has come to life again, and has been haranguing a meeting at Chicago. In American affairs themselves there is little change The House of Representatives has voted half a million dollars for carrying out the Reconstruction Act, which has been protested against in several quarters. The Senate has exercised its newly acquired power by rejecting the appointment of the Minister to Vienna. We are glad to find that the Democratic party has gained largely in the late elections in New Hampshire, a token, we may hope, of a change for the better in public feeling. father-in-law, M. Eckhardt continued the business with the same prosperity and activity, but having prosecuted a clerk for embezzlement, when the latter came out of prison, in revenge he threw some nitric acid in his face. This made M. Eck hardt covetous and untrustful. He went to live by himself in a small lodging, which he occupied for 32 years. He kept his money locked up in two iron chests under his bed, and the keys were tied to his body. Eckhardt had not been out for 11 years, and it is said that he had spent about two francs a day. Another miserable miser died last week in Paris. He has left a very large fortune to his sister. He lived upon the charity bestowed by the Bureau of Beneficence, and went regularly to beg the morsels of bread thrown upon the floor from the beds at the hospital, which were intended for pigs. The most eminent architect of France, M. Hit torff, architect to the Government and the city of Paris for many years, died on Monday. The most remarkable productions were the church of St. Vincent de Paul and the circus in the Champs Elys6es. In 1852 he superintended the decoration of the Place de la Concorde, and had the direction of the works in the Bois de Boulogne. He also designed the improvements at the Arc de Triomphe de I'Etoile in the Champs Elysees. Various splen did decorations of edifices were executed under his direction. M. Hittorff was a member of the Aca demy of Fine Arts, and an officer of the Legion of Honour. The cattle plague has broken out at another point of Belgium, Nuland, in Northern Brabant ; 23 oxen have been slaughtered. The disease is sup posed to have been communicated by some linseed cakes sent from Holland. The committee of the Legislative Body, appointed to consider the proposed gift of 400,000 f. to M. de Lamartine, have proposed an amendment to the Council of State with the view of changing the gift to that amount into an annual rente of 25,000 f. or £l,OOO sterling. The Patric has the following remarks upon the altered tone of Mr. Gladstone :—‘, Mr. Gladstone has evidently been struck with the speech of Mr. Potter, and has promised to give the most ener getic opposition to the Reform Bill. Instead of the tranquil tone which he assumed before his colleagues of the opposition, Mr. Gladstone declared to the House of Commons that he should vote without hesitation against any bill which did not contain a clause favourable to lodgers. It is, therefore, evident that under the influence of the speeches of the deputation of workmen, he has returned to the sentiments of opposition which he at first exhibited at the private meeting of the members of the House of Commons, and which he immediately changed for more pacific views. Mr. Gladstone has, indeed, made another step against the Reform Bill. Per haps it may be called an act of weakness. At all events it affords a proof of the diversity of character which has the disadvantage of revealing evident passion excited by the working masses. The friends of Mr.. Gladstone had the right to expect better from hira—that is to say, that he would direct the movement instead of following it." The morning was lowering and cold, and there was a little rain, but as the day advanced the wea ther became warm and agreeable, and there was not much interruption of sunshine. The bulletin of the observatory of Monday says on that day the sky was cloudy or rainy in several parts of France and Spain, and there was snow in the North of Europe. The new theatre Rossiui at Paesy has been opened, and to-morrow night, Mid Lent, there is to be a dress masked ball. The Independance Belge, of Brussels, referring to the speech of the Minister of Finance in the Cham ber of Representatives against universal suffrage, says that the movement of equivocation has passed, and that the cause of universal suffrage in Belgium is lost. There has been a grand diplomatic dinner at Brussels, in honour of the approaching marriage of the Counte de Flandre. Eighty persons were present and, in addition to the royal family, there were all the members of the Belgian ministry, and all the ministers accredited to Brussels for foreign courts. The Conn do Flandre was about to leave Brussels for Paris, to be present at the Exhibition. A man named Jeanjean, a railway clerk, has been found guilty, with extenuating circumstances, of stealing a bag from a Mr. Waroquet, containing 20,000 f. He took the bag from the carriage while the prosecutor was asleep. The occurrence took place on the 15th of January, 1859, on the railway from Paris to Lyons. It was only lately that the prisoner was arrested. He had spent all the money and was in a state of great misery. The prisoner confessed the crime, and-said he had no accomplices. The Court of Assize of the Seine sentenced him to three years' imprisonment. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, March 28.

Yesterday, in pursuance of the arrangement made on Monday on the issue of the warrant by the Shropshire magistrates for the apprehension of Mr. Eyre on the charge of being accessory to the mur der of Mr. Gordon, the magistrates reassembled at the Market Drayton police -court to proceed with the examination of the accused. Mr. Eyre was formally apprehended yesterday (Wednesday) morning at his residence, Adderley-hall, by th e Chief Constable of Salop, Colonel Edgell, who ac companied his prisoner to Market Drayton. On their arrival in court some persons applauded, on which the chairman of the bench intimated that any further interruption of this kind would be fol lowed by the ejection of the person making it. The magistrates on the bench were Sir Baldwin Leigh ton, Colonel G. S. Hill, Major Broughton, Mr. Egerton Harding, and Mr. J. 'rayleur. Mr. Stephen (Midland Circuit) and Mr. J. Horne Pain were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. H. Giffard, Q.C. (South Wales Circuit), and Mr. Po land for the defence. Mr. 11. A. Taylor, M.P. for Leicester, who was named by Mr. Stephen on Mon day as joint prosecutor with Mr. J. Stuart Mill, M.P., was present. Sir B. Leighton, at the opening of the proceed ings, stated that one of the magistrates of the dis trict, Mr. Corbet, being Mr. Eyre's landlord, had thought it best that he should not sit on the bench during the inquiry. It was arranged that the witnesses, with the ex ception of Mr. Ruundell, Secretary to the Jamaica Commission, and two witnesses belonging to the Colonial-office, should be out of court during the inquiry. Mr. Giffard said that at present he had no witnesses there. The clerk to the magistrates then read the charge as set forth in the warrant, of which the following is an extract : " Whereas Edward John Eyre, of the parish of Adderley, in the county of Salop, Esq., hath this day been charged upon oath before the undersigned, four of her Majesty's justices of the peace in and for the said county of Salop, for that he, on the 2d day of October, 1865, being a subject of our Lady th e Queen, on land out of the United Kingdom, to wit, at Morant Bay, in the Island of Jamaica, in the West Indies, feloniously did aid, abet, counsel, and procure certain persons unknown to do and commit a certain felony by them then committed, that is to say, to feloniously, wilfully, and of malice aforethought, kill and murder one George William Gordon," &c. The warrant is signed—" Baldwin Leighton, Egerton Harding, George S. Hill, Peter Broughton, jun." Mr. Stephen then rose to address the bench, and stated the course he intended to take. The charge was one of being accessory before the fact in the commission of murder, and he must first show that the murder charged had been committed. It was not necessary for him to prove that the accused was guilty of the charge against him, but if he showed that there were grave questions of law involved which should be adjudicated upon, and that there were also questions of fact which should go before a jury —if he satisfied the bench of this, then he sub mitted that would be sufficient for the purpose of the committal of the accused. The learned counsel then proceeded to narrate the circumstances which led to the charge in terms similar to those made use of by him in his speech to the bench on Monday, as reported in 2 he Sun of Tuesday. Having nar rated the facts of the court-martial, sentence of death, and execution of Mr. Gordon, he contended that the part taken by Mr. Eyro made him an aces sory before the fact, and he quoted 1 " Russell," 57, in support of his argument. Then, passing on to the question whether this was a murder or not, he said that, although it was done with legal form, it was one of two things--it was either justifiable homicide or wilful murder. If they said it was not wilful murder, they must say that it was justifiable homicide, and in support of that proposition he would appeal to the best legal authorities. On this point he again quoted "Russell." 668. An irregu larly held court would not justify a sentence of death, and he quoted Lord Coke as an authority on this point, and cited the case of " Warden v. Bailey," " 4 Taunton's Reports," p. 77, where the question was whether an action would lie for wrongfully holding a court-martial. He also re ferred to the memorable case of Governor Wall, re ported in vol. 28 of State Trials, pp. 51 to 178, where, 20 years after the wrongful execution of a person, the party was tried and executed for the murder. The learned counsel then proceeded to consider whether this was a case of justifiable homicide or not. He should show the Bench that Mr. Eyre was the head and director of all that took place. He was not a military man, but was acting as Governor of the colony on his own responsibility, and he was answerable for whatever was done under his direction. But he should show that Mr. Eyre personally directed what was done, and it was a pleasure to him (Mr. Stephen) to say it (although perhaps some persons might not believe him) that from first to last throughout these transactions no man could have avowed more emphatically than Mr. Eyre did every act of his own, no man could have stated more unreservedly the motives under which he acted ; and, whatever else might be said of Mr. Eyre, no one would doubt that he had acted throughout as a brave—a very brave man. The learned counsel then addressed himself to the question whether the execution of Mr. Gordon was justifiable homicide or not. If he showed, as he believed he should be able to do, that this was not justifiable homicide, the law said it was murder, for between the two there was no medium. Then, as to the justification of homicide, it might be justified as an act of necessity, and for the preservation of the peace, and as an act lawful in its execution, and for the furtherance of justice. On one or other of these two grounds the justification must be made out. He maintained that under the circumstances the homicide was not justifiable. The court-martial was an irregular one. It was not composed of officers of one branch of the service, but of two, one being a lieutenant of the navy, and the others officers of West Indian regiments. The trial took place after an arrest that was avowedly illegal, and on a charge which arose before the proclamation of martial law under which he was tried. The learned counsel was proceeding to point out to the Bench what was necessary in order to warrant the magis trates in committing Mr. Eyre for trial, when The Chairman (Sir B. Leighton) said he thought Mr. Stephen had better go on with the facts of the case instead of telling the magistrates what was their duty. _ _ _ Mr. Stephen was sorry if he had said anything to offend the Court. He had no intention tosay any.. thing offensive. The Chairman thought he had better proceed with his statement of facts, which would shorten the case. Mr. Stephen said he would be as short as ha could, but he could not be short. In superior courts it was the ordinary course to point out to the Judges the application of the law to the case under consi deration, and he hoped he might be excused for thinking that he was justified in the remarks which he had made. The Chairman thought perhaps he might act upon the hint that he had given, but he must take his own course. Mr. Stephen hoped the Court would not think that he had any intention of being disrespectful to the Court. The Chairman—Oh no, not at all. Mr. Stephen then addressed himself atsome length to the consideration of what was martial law, and how it was one of those laws that are subservient to the common law—legessub graviori lege— and quoted in reference to this part of his subject a Jamaica Act of the 33 Charles 11., cap. 21; 2 and 3 Wil liam IV., cap. 30 ; Sir Matthew Hale's History of Common Law, page 44 ; and the case of " Wright v. Fitzgerald," 27, " State Trials," 765. Having agreed that the court-martial did not necessarily justify the acts of Mr. Eyre, he particularly dwelt on the fact that the conduct for which Mr. Gordon was tried by court-martial took place nine months before martial law was proclaimed. Such a pro ceeding, he maintained, was utterly monstrous, not only according to the elementary principles of the law, but according to the elementary principles of common sense. Where there was no martial law there could be no offence against martial law. His learned friend Mr. Giffard would, no doubt, say that the offences must generally of necessity pre cede the operation of martial law, because it was in consequence of these very events that martial law was proclaimed. After further remarks as to the application of the law in this case, the learned counsel contended that the court-martial did not stop the magistrates from proceeding to inquire into this case, and then entered upon the facts of the case. This case, he said, differed from others in this re markable particular, that whereas in ordinary cases the motives of the accused party had to be presumed from his acts, in this case they had three full, de tailed, distinct accounts given by Mr. Eyre himself of what he did, of what he thought, and, he might almost say, of what he felt in connexion with the execution of Mr. Gordon. These were his first despatch to Mr. Cardwell, his evidence given before the Jamaica Commission, and his second despatch to Mr. Cardwell, which set forth in minute detail all the reasons which had operated with him in refer ence to his conduct towards Mr. Gordon. He called attention to these three documents in detail, and maintained that upon these malice, as defined in 1, Rustell, 668, was shown. He did not mean for a moment to say that Mr. Eyre had any private grudge against Mr. Gordon, but Mr. Gordon was a political opponent of his, and he was labouring under the impression that he (Gordon) was the author of the insurrection, and acting on that impression he acted as he had done. He (Mr. Stephen) would sum up this part of his case by saying that he considered Mr. Eyre had rashly and erroneously regarded the death of Mr. Gordon as being morally just and politically expedient, and that he also knew or strongly believed that it was illegal, although he was not aware,'as he (Mr S.) thought, of the full ex tent of its illegality. Acting on that view, be would say that Mr. Eyre authorised the death of Mr. Gor. don on this general knowledge and impression. What the moral quality of that conduct might be he would express no opinion upon, other than offering a passing word of sympathy to a gallant man, who was placed in a most painful situation and ex posed to the greatest difficulties ; and he hoped that he might be excused, in the position in which he was placed there, for saying that. But while he said that he could not retract a single word that he had said as to the rest of his conduct, and he would maintain that legally that frame of mind which it was shown by these despatches and this evi dence did exist constituted express malice. He should show, by reference to these documents, that that state of mind did really exist. The learned counsel then proceeded with his narrative of the insurrection, tracing Mr. Eyre's proceedings from the first out break up to the excution of Gordon, as reported in Monday's proceedings. He quoted numerous pas sages from Mr. Eyre's despatches to the English Government and his evidence given before the Jamaica Commission, arguing upon then:Abet they fixed upon him the charge of being an accessory be fore the fact to the murder of Mr. Gordon, if a mur der was committed. Having at great length pointed out Mr. Eyre's position at the head of the proceed ings, the fact that he personally arrested Mr. Gor don, he proceeded to the communications made to him by Brigadier Nelson. The proceedings of the court-martial on Mr. Gordon were transmitted by the Court to General O'Connor, and, through him, to Mr. Eyre, and he would call attention to these particular circumstances. He was proceeding to quote from the Jamaica Blue-book, when The Chairman—ls it necessary that we should have these documents put in as evidence ? Mr. Stephen replied that he proposed to put them in. The proceedings and the facts which the pro ceedings disclosed were important, as showing what was in Mr. Eyre's mind when he wrote the de spatches to which he was about to call attention. On the receipt of the proceedings of the court martial, Mr. Eyre wrote, " I have duly read the papers referred to, and I fully concur in the justice of the sentence and the policy of carrying it into effect;" and he added his opinion that it was entirely due to Mr. Gordon's advice that the rebellion had broken out. Mr. Eyre also wrote a letter to Bri gadier Nelson to the same effect, in which he said, " I quite concur in the justice of the sentence and the policy of tarrying it into effect." He also ex pressed in writing his full confirmation and approval of the sentence, and ordered it to be carried out on the followiurr Monday, the sentence having been passed on the Saturday, and there Jeiaag, as be ex pressed it, "no military reason " f or carry i ng i t ou u on the Sabbath. He regarded the sending of the proceedings and the sentence of the court-martial to Mr. Eyre as a mute appeal to him to say whether the execution was to take place or not. He could have negatived the sentence had he thought fit to do so. Mr. Stephen proceeded next to review the evidence taken on the court-martial ; the charge against Mr. Gordon was that of having before the insurrection incited and advised with certain of the insurgents ; it made up a charge of high treason with complicity, riot, and insurrection. The Chairman—l and my brother magistrates feel that if the court-martial was legal we have nothing to do with the evidence. If it was illegal, whatever may have been Mr. Gordon's guilt, he would have been improperly executed. Therefore, it seems we cannot have much to do with the evi dence. The real point is this—was the court-martial legal ? Mr. Stephen—l have already said that there are two grounds on which the execution of Mr. Gordon may be justified ; one is the legality of the court martial, on which I have already addressed you, and it may be justified on the ground of necessity. They may say that, although the execution of Gordon was an irregular execution, still it was an act necessary to be done for the safety of the island, and it is to that point that I am now addressing myself. The Chairman—lf you wish to put the evidence in we do not wish to stop you. We do not wish to stop any evidence. Mr. Stephen said it would be necessary to do so unless his friend would admit it. Mr. Giffard said he could make no concession to the Jamaica Committee. Mr. Stephea did not know what Mr. Giffard meant by " the Jamaica Committee." They had the prosecutor before them. Mr. Giffard repeated that he made no concession. Mr. Stephen then proceeded to argue upon the evidence of the court-martial that Mr. Eyre had no reasonable ground for putting Mr. Gordon to death, and for this purpose he analysed the evidence of Anderson, James Gordon, and other witnesses ex amined at the court-martial. At this point of the case the Court adjourned for half an hour, and, on re-assembling, Dr. Fiddes, Mr. Lake, reporter, Mr. Round, Mr. Roundell, Secretary to Jamaica Commission, and Mr. Dunning, short-hand writer, were examined, and the Court adjourned until Thursday. The court was crowded throughout the day, a great number of ladie3 being present. There was a strong body of police, who, from the limited accom modation in the court, had necessarily to exclude a large number of applicants for admission. - 1. • 4 ,,, (011 Of , '; HER MA.TESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, March 27.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. Royal personages seem to be somewhat tardy in their correspondence. The Moniteur officially announces that the Emperor and Empress yesterday received the letters which her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land wrote to their Majesties to notify the birth of a Princess, daughter of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. Private accounts announce (says the Moniteur) that the Emperor of Russia has ordered the intro duction into the Imperial and Merchant Navy of the new international system of maritime signals adopted in England and France. M. de Kamptz, Minister Plenipotentiary for Prussia at Berne, has been appointed in the same quality at Hamburg, and he has been suzceeded in Switzerland by General Rosier, formerly Prussian Minister at Cassel. The Imperial Commission has given notice to Ex hibitors that the installation of the various products sent to the International Exhibition ought to be terminated on the 28th inst. In order that exhi bitors may be able to arrange those articles which might be seriously injured by the dust, the empty cases, packages, straw, &c., must be taken away before the 28th. The Commission have therefore decided that from the 27th the regulation shall be rigorously carried into effect, and no case, package, or parcel will be admitted into the Palace after that day. The 29th and 30th inst. will be devoted to the general cleansing of the Palace. The fete commemorative of Napoleon's return from Elba was celebrated at the " salon" of M. Catelain in the Palais Royal, on Sunday. The meeting of the old remnants of the Empire was less numerous than in former years. Nevertheless, all the souvenirs of victories from Marengo to Mont merail were represented. M. Belmontet, deputy, presided. There was a bust of Napoleon the First on the table. Upon the traditional loaf of bread there was an immense bouquet of Parma violets sent from Toulouse by M. Lezat, who has a St. Helena medal. These flowers and the bread were distributed among all the guests at the commence ment of the banquet, amidst repeated cries of " Vive Empereur." After the accustomed ap propriate toasts, the cries of " Long Live the Em peror" were repeated on separating. The guests made an appointment to meet each other again at the ceremonial of the sth of May. The Moniteur is nearly filled with the report of the discussion yesterday in the Chamber upon the law for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. It was again adjourned. Accounts from Bagdad mention the arrival at Bassorah of the aviso of the Imperial Marine Le Diamant, under the command of Lieut. Bose, hav ing for object to cross the Persian Gulf and to show the French flag to Bender-Abbab, Bender Buchir, Kouet, El Katif, and Muscate. A "Vienna journal received in Paris, the Zukunft, asserts that a treaty has been concluded between Servia and Montenegro. It contains 17 articles, and although of a purely defensive character, it does not exclude the possibility of offensive action with the view to obtain a portion of the Herzegowine, as well as Soutoornia, a Turkish position in the Adriatic. The improvement in the health of the young Imperial Prince is maintained, and he is very nearly well. The Presse of Vienna contains an elaborate article, the object of which is to prove that the result of the new treaties will be that the Powers of Southern Germany will be placed in subjection and will be despoiled of their prerogatives, and that the position of Louis the Second, King of Bavaria, in regard to the King of Prussia, will be like that of the Mikado of Japan in respect to the Taikoun; that is to say, he will become simply a spiritual chief. As the Bavarian Army is likely to be placed event ually under the direction of the King of Prussia, the Presse argues that the Government of Munich is deprived of all initiative power and all diplomatic influence. As the organisation of the Army will be practically upon the Prussian system, Prussia will make any modification in it which she may think proper, even in times of peace. The last addition to the Louvre is a painting alleged to be by Raphael, which was recently found among some lumber in the attics of the Tuileries. It is a portrait of St. John. Some amateurs doubt whether it is really the production of the great mas ter, but great importance has been attached to it by the authorities connected with the Ministry of the Fine Arts, or they would not have sanctioned its transfer to the Louvre. A few days ago there died at Vienna, at the age of 89, M. Adolphe Eckhardt, who leaves a fortune of more than 12 millions of francs. M. Echardt went to Vienna from Erfurt, in 1801. He was at first an errand boy in a printing office. Ho then became a servant to Camerini, the army contractor, who employed him in his office, and afterwards placed hi►u at thehead of his business, and gave him his daughter is marriage, Alter the death of DEATH OF MR. ALFRED MELLON. We have to announce with deep regret the death of Mr. Alfred Mellon. For some days Mr. Mellon had suffered from illness, but nothing of a serious nature was anticipated. On Sunday afternoon last, at about half-past five, he was seized with severe sickness, which resisted all treatment, and on Mon day violent vomiting of blood came on, and last night death took place at a quarter before twelve o'clock. The loss of so distinguished an artist will cause the deepest regret, especially amongst the thousands of persons who have listened with delight to the performances of the magnificent band under his direction at his promenade concerts, or who have laughed at the brilliant pantomime he pro duced during the time the Rosal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, was under his sole management. 1867.

REFORM MEETING AT LEEDS.—A meeting wag held at Leeds on Tuesday, under the presidency of 31r. Alderman Tatham, to express some opinion upon the Government Reform Bill. One of the resolutions stated that, whilst the meeting was in favour of manhood suffrage, it was pleased to find a Conservative Govern ment recognising household suffrage as a principle That part of the bill which would exclude compound householders was objected to, as was also the innova tion of dull votes. Mr. Alderman Carter moved resolution which expressed regret at Mr. Gladstone 'e speech on Monday night, in which ho said that he re garded a .£6 rental franchise as a reasonable and perma nent settlement of the Reform question. It was said that Yorkshire would not be satisfied with any such a nig gardly extension. Alderman Carter said he would rather have Mr. Disraeli's bill, with all its objections, than the miserable compromise suggested by Mr. Gladstone. The resolutions were adopted. SPRING GARDENS, Charing-cross, existed already in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; the Mulberry Gardens, St. James's-park, were formed by her successor, James I. Both these gardens were in great vogue for many years, and were only done away with in the reign of Charles ; but owing to their distance they 'a ere more espe cially frequented by the Court gallants ; the citizens could only show off their finery there on Sundays. Moorfields was formed into walks in 1606 ; it was laid out in four large square grass-plots, surrounded with shady elms, which formed very pleasant avenues and walks, at the end of which was the open country, even as late as 1663. All about the place there wore music -houses, in which the men and maid-servants and the City apprentices generally spent their liciiclAys.—Qnce a Week. men J.
