The chief subject of contemplation just now with respect to the Reform Bill is the striking success which Lord CAIRNS met with on Tuesday, and it is important that its effect should not be misunderstood. It wae,no party conflict and involved no defeat on the part of the Government of a nature that was material. In the first place, it was in coral uittee that the proposition was made, and that alb 3rs the state of things very much, and really it did not interfere with any of the vital principles of the bill. The Representation of Minorities ap pears to have been much more popular than was i aiagined, for now that it has obtained due consider ation, not only do zealous advocates appear, but the prevailing opinion seems in favour of its adoption. The effect of Lord CAIRNS'S clause being carried was neither a Liberal nor a Conservative success, but rather the triumph of a principle that bas been hitherto kept out of the reach of politicians of late years to decide upon one way or the other. The Ministers were not among the enthusiasts who thought no Reform Bill could answer with this pro viso omitted, and they naturally felt averse to agree to every suggestion that was made right and left if it did not tally exactly with their own arrangements and proposals. Hence the opposition of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons and that of Lord MALMESBURY in the House of Lords —not that Mr. LowE's scheme was identical with that of Lord CAIRNS, but it pointed in that direc tion. We do not anticipate that any difficulty will be raised by the Ministers now, nor by the House of Commons at a further period, when this subject comes before them. The decided opinion expressed in favour of Lord CAIRNS'S clause by the represen tatives of so many opinions in the &Late of Tuesday, and the overwhelming majority which decided the vote, are unanswerable arguments in its support, and no one of experience or of judgment will refuse to agree to the truth of this. To-night the Redistribution Scheme will come on for consideration, and it is doubtful what turn things may take. The chief thing to consider now is how to pass the bill this session in the most de sirable manner, and we earnestly hope that the leading members of the House will keep this end in view, and not allow themselves to be misled by plausible proposals, and by the temptation of seeing their own schemes put into practice. Lord GREY is a very dangerous adviser, and those who desire that Reform should b e settled this year must look beyond his proposals to the result which their acceptance may bring about. The Government may very likely consent to some change in the Redis tribution scheme as it now stands, and they may even propose something themselves, but for an opponent like Lord GREY to seek to alter the whole plan already agreed upon by the House of Commons is really quite unreasonablv. The advanced period of the Session ought of itself to show the folly of such an attempt, and besides it should be remembered that it is always easier to begin a work of this sort than' to stop short in it. Who can tell what next may be requested. And if the Government give in to one scheme they will be expected to look upon others with a favourable eye. Thencomes the inevitable reference to thelllouse of Commons, and the time they take up may be con siderable. Besides all this, people are very apt to forget, in the excitement of the discussion, that the other House may not readily consent to the nume rous and striking changes which are being suggested here, there, and everywhere. We think that the Government deserve great credit for the exertions that they have made for months past in this work of Reform, and the House of Lords is bound to support them in the main, and when the representatives of the Ministry declare that the adoption of any particular scheme will militate against the success of their measure, or even endanger its speedy passing, they ought to stand by them and reject it. Most unfortunately Lord DERBY is not able to be present at this critical juncture, but we would appeal to the patriotism of the House collectively not to allow that circumstance to act injuriously in the progress of the measure. If it should unfortunately happen that any disaster occurred to the measure, while the defeat would rest with the Government, the dis grace would certainly remain with those who inter fered in so mischievous a manner, and after so uncalled-for a fashion. There is no real cause for alarm, however ; but it is best not to be too confi dent, and until all danger is over to act as if too much caution could not be taken. Lord GREY has not had the satisfaction of seeing his party carry a Reform Bill, and he seems to begrudge it to a Conservative Government that they should have the honour of the work. He forgets that all who assist them in the task will share, in time renown, while those who impede their progress are exhibit ing themselves to the country in a very ungracious light, and acquiring a reputation by no means an enviable one. The House of Commons having got through its arduous labours on the Reform Bill has now some leisure to bestow on matters less pressing, though not ultimately less important. The education of the people is a necessary part and condition of their political enfranchisement. It is the great advance in intelligence and mental cultivation among the masses during the last half century that has given ground for their demand for a share in the govern ment of the country. If our mechanics and artizans were on the same level now that they were in the days of Waterloo, there would be a real instead of a nominal risk in the extensive reduction of the franchise. As it is not only are the rudiments of knowledge generally possessed by the better class of working men, but they share the views and principles of those above them in social position. They are not blinded by prejudice or infatuated by the desire fur selfish temporary gain, at least not to a greater extent than many other classes. If they have adopted mistaken motions of political economy, it is the fault of those bigoted and interested teachers who are indefatigable in assuring them that the interests of labour and capital are diame trically opposed, instead of identical. Without doubt it is the progress of education that has con vinced the upper classes that the admission of the lower orders to the franchise will be a source of strength instead of weakness to the country, and, although some of our Trades Unions have endeavoured to go back to the old days when the introduction of new machinery was the signal for riot and outrage, the general sense of the people is against such extravagances. Still this undoubted improvement is no reason for relaxing our efforts on behalf of popular education. There is much to be done even as we now stand. The test of the marriage register, as cited last even ing by Mr. M'LAREN, is sufficient to prove how far we are from what we should be. The number of men who could not sign their names in 186.5 w'_s 22 out of every 100, and of women 31 out of every 100. In some parts of the country the proportion is very different, especially among the women. In Lancashire those who could not sign were 49 in 100 ; in Monmouthshire, 52 ; in the south-western counties, 45. There is too much reason to fear that with the great de mand for labour, and the many channels now open for the employment of children, whether in the factories of our manufacturing towns, or in the agricultural pursuits for which men are less available than formerly, our standard of education will go down rather than up, unless we take vigo roue measures, But perhaps no sitial problem is beset with more difficulties. There is the pecu niary difficulty. The parents can ill afford to lose the shilling earned by the child when their own earnings only amount to twelve or fifteen. Then comes the expense of the schooling. Who is to pay for it ? The ratepayers are already overburdened, and any attempt to add to their burdens would be most unpopular. There is the interference with parental authority by the Go vernment, always unwelcome in England. There is the religious difficulty. We cannot educate the children without any religion, and the denomina tional interests clash. But the greatest difficulty of all, as most practical experience will testify, is the indifference of the p ►rents. We need not wonder at this so much when we see the igno rance of the mothers. A woman who cannot sign her own name is not likely to c.►re much for her children's schooling. We cannot reasonably sup pose that such parents can care much about the denominational instruction of their children either. The alternate system of dividing a child's time between work and school seems to be the best solution of one part of the problem, for we know that if a child is to learn its work properly it should begin early, while the same thing is doubly true of school learning. Whether the alternate principle is best car ried out by dividing the week or by divid ing the year, as in some parts of Scotland, is a matter for consideration. It is less easy to settle the other parts of the question, but the notion of a rate for the support of schools would be most unpopular. Mr. FAWCETT'S bill, though excellent in principle, is open to many objections on points of detail. The hon. gentleman himself was satisfied with the senti ments which he elicited and withdrew his bill. The necessity of extending to agricultural districts the same principle as has been effected with such suc cess to manufacturing districts is generally admitted, and indeed the time is passing by when any ignorant man could do agricultural work. The great improvements in scientific agriculture require something more than the mere exercise of brute force, and the farmers will soon perceive that it is more profitable to them to have an educated labourer than an ignorant one. The natural effect of this will be a rise in the labourer's wages, which will be of itself a substantial good. The question of national education presses for settlement, but we shall lose rather than gam time if we legislate partially or rashly. second son of King Louis of Bavaria and the Princess Theresa of Saxe Heldbourghausen. H• was born on the Ist of June, 1815, at Salzbourg, and in consequence of a convention between the protective Powers he mounted the Throne of Greece on the 6th of February, 1833. He was married in 1834 to the Princess of Oldenbourg. The royal pair had no children. On the 24th of October, 1862, he left Greece in consequence of a revolution, and retired to Bamberg, where, as I have already stated, he died on the 24th of July. The weather has been dry and sultry to-day, with evident indications of a coming tempest. The Viceroy of Egypt has left Paris for Vichy, to take the celebrated, waters, accompanied by his Prime Minister, Nubar Paella, who always went with him on his excursions in 'Paris. The first visit paid by the Empress on her return to Paris was to the Exhibition, where her Majesty stayed a considerable time, and made several pur chases. The Epoque has recently been conducted by a new editor, who seems to desire to obtain celebrity for news by contradicting the official announcements of the Moniteur. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

HIGHLAND AND AG IZICUL7 URAL SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND. The Monitcur of thi s d a y publishes an article on General Dumont's mission to Rome, in which it says :—" The journals are discussing the mission to Rome, which had been entrusted to Gen. Dumont, and publish a speech alleged to have been delivered by him. It is necessary to state the exact truth of the affair. The Minister of War has simply re quested General Dumont during his stay in Rome to inquire into the causes which led to a certain number of desertions from the Antibes Legion. As regards the speech attributed to General Dumont, suffice it to say it was not spoken. The reports published of it are apocryphal." The Constitutionnel of to-day publishes an ar ticle by M. Paulin Limayrac, in which he shows that France had not interfered diplomatically in the differences between Prussia and Denmark. In structions had been sent to the French representa tive at Berlin, from which all idea of interfering in the negociations now pending between Berlin and Copenhagen was excluded. The Moniteur has stated the truth of the situation by declaring that"no note has been either presented or read to the Berlin Cabinet relative to Schleswig. It was, however, not stated that the French Govern ment had not written no despatches to its Chargé d'Affaires at Berlin on the subject. Every one knows that Governments almost daily send off de spatch,'s containing instruetionss or directions on the various pending questions, and frequently their representatives -- read or communicate con fidentially such documents. These are mere acts of courtesy, bearing no official character, and in no way affecting the relations existing between the States. The presentation of a note would have been serious, but the existence of several despatches to our agent in Berlin is hardly of a nature to occupy public attention. Rather would the Prussian Go vernment itself have been astonished had the French Government withheld its opinion on so important a question, and would regard such silence as b.td augury, thus creating► one of the situations which is seldom produced, but which always creates distrust. Such are not the relations of the two Cabinets." BOURSE, July 31, Two o'clock.—To-day the re ponse des primes (option) ; this operation has taken place at 69f. for Three per Cents. Rentes.

The facts mentioned in them are already known, but some points of the information are interesting. When the news of the capture of Queretaro and of the Emperor Maximilian reached the authorities they immediately took steps to contradict the news. Thus the information of the capture of Queretaro was disbelieved for a month. At last, however, it was necessary to confess the truth, for the inhabit ants suffered very much from the want of provisions. For this reason on the 19th the news of the capture of Queretaro was announced as certain ; the forces of Juarez entered Mexico on the 21st, the city hav ing surrendered at discretion, and on the 24th the execution of the Emperor Maximilian was made known. The despatches from the French Consul at Vera Cruz are dated July 2. They give only a few par— ticulars respecting the capture of that city. In spite of the conditions promised on the 24th June, General Benavides issued a proclamation, stating that he had received positive orders to demand that the city should surrender at discretion. The Im perial Commissioner, M. Bareau, embarked on board the Austrian ship of war Elizabeth. The French soldiers who were in the garrison traversed the city with their arms to the sound of the trumpet in the midst of sympathetic acclamations from the people. A subscription had been opened among the merchants, and every man received 100 f. by way of recompense for the arrears of his pay. These precautions having been taken, the Consuls of England, Prussia, and the United States under took to deliver up the city to the so-called Liberals. They made their entrance into the city without disorder, and although the French flag was not hoisted at the Consulate no hostile demonstra tion took place. The Moniteur adds that, according to the previous information, it was stated very laconically that M. Dano could not leave his post for a week. " For some time it will be entirely impossible to have more detailed information upon the subject by pest." The magnificent banquet to the exhibitors, which I mentioned which was to take place during the present month, has been postponed till the latter end of August, as there was not sufficient time to give the requisite information to exhibitors residing in the provinces. There is no doubt of the accom plishment of this banquet, which will be the most extraordinary and splendid of modern times. Batty, the lion tamer, has had another narrow escape. He entered the den where there was a lioness with her newly-born cub. She flew at him and inflicted some severe wounds on his shoulder. Some fainted, and there was great excitement at the theatre. Batty appeared after repeated calls, but he is suffering so much from his injuries that he will not be able to repeat his performances for some days. A striking application of the law for the abolition of imprisonment fur debt has already occurred. Three men named Carpentier, Grellot, and Guerin were condemned to imprisonment for money due to the Northern Railway Company in consequence of forgery and robbery, but the Court decided that imprisonment for debt could no longer be sustained, and therefore these three persons have been set at liberty. Let not intending visitors to Paris be afraid of coming lest high prices may starve them. In the Rue de Bievre there is an establishment called La 7'averne Anglaise, where till may feed at a charge which is moderate in the extreme. I confess that I have not been there, but a creditable writer in a Paris paper says that he breakfasted-there for 40 centimes, or fourpeuce English. He spent that sum, he says, because he is a man of fortune, but poor people may breakfast there for twopence. They may have a plate of haricots and soup, with bread, which may be washed down with a glass of beer. The dining-room is extensive, and will con tain 500 persons. The quantity given is sufficient for the nourishment of a man. About 500 persons come every day. The average amount of the re ceipts per day is 75f., or £3, but the receipts on ex tra occasions have actually amounted to nearly £5. There are certain regulations to which it is not extremely difficult for reasonable people to conform Customers may have spoons, but the proprietor do not allow knives. I suppose because he is afraid that people may cut away with them. It is for bidden either to sleep or to sing in the establish ment on pain of being immediately expelled. An excellent soup is given with cabbage, onions, or haricots. About 100,000 cabbages are annually consumed at the establishment. One regulation is strictly enforced—you pay your sou for your soup or your beer on delivery. If by chance the waiter announces at the counter that your bill amounts to bsilpseffeev—eryforheatir iscatlulrnoeudt towards eardtos you,tals of the bills as all e wish to have a glimpse at the millionaire, t who has expended so rashly and inconsiderately such a sum for his breakfast. The excitement in Italy continues, but without precise facts. Garibaldi's son, Ricciotti Garibaldi, considering that an article in the Nazione of Florence was insulting to his father, sent a chal lenge to the editor, M. Raimondo Brenno. A duel took place, and M. Brenno received a wound in the forehead. Young Garibaldi was hurt in the left arm.

THE TRIAL OF A FATHER AND SON FOR MAN SLAUGHTER. - Robert Hughes and Robert Hughes, father and son, wore tried at Ruthin Assizes on Tuesday, before the Lord Chief Baron, on a chargo of killing Evan Jones. The prisoners had been indicted for murder in the first instance, but, by direction of the judge, the grand jury found a bill for manslaughter only. The prisoners and deceased had been drinking and quarrelling at Abergele on July 6. Jones, in the fray, received a wound inflicted by some sharp instrument which caused his death. The younger prisoner was acquitted, and the elder, who was found guilty, was sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment.

At the Glasgow meeting he prizes amount to £1,600, the largest sum the Ccuncil has ever devoted to live stock. The business of this meeting, which is the sixth held in Glasgow, the last visit having been in 1857, opened yesterday with a lecture by Professor An derson at the Queen's Hotel, Major Kinloch, of Gilmerton, in the chair. The Professor referred to the complete exhaustion of guano from the most northern of the Chincha Islands, and to the inferior quality of guano now obtained from the southern island. Tho farmer buys for his money a smaller quantity of fertilising matter than he formerly did —the effect, however, will scarcely be felt in the first crop, but must ultimately tell to disadvantage from the deficiency of residual fertilizing matter left in the soil. As the demand for real Peruvian guano is not increasing, there is a fair prospect of its lasting for a generation to come, but at the end of that time the supply of nitrogenous manures must become a very grave' question, seeing that the ammonia contained in the Peruvian guano annually imported is equivalent to about 120,000 tons of sulphate of ammonia, greatly exceeding the quantity of that substance at present derived from all other sources put together. Hope lies in the in creased manufacture of ammonia in gasworks and various processes of the arts, and also in the gradual reproduction of natural guano—of which we have an instance in the renewed supply from Ichaboe, an island exhausted about 30 years ago. The lecturer showed how analysis and the system adopted by importers have checked and almost destroyed the practice of adulteration; he then noted the improve ment in quality and the diminution in price which have been latterly found in superphosphates, due in great part to the introduction of bone ash and mineral phosphates. Dissolved bones may be said to no longer exist; we now get a mixture of these with bone ash or mineral phosphate ; and, by an improve ment in the process of manufacture, the manure is much more rinely reduced and more convenient for application than it used to be. So far as the supply of pliosphates is concerned, Professor Anderson feels no anxiety, new mines of these substances being continually discovered, and often in the most unex pected geological formations. Adulteration is still largely carried on in oilcakes and other feeding stuffs, linseed being mixed with the seeds of many sorts of weeds. The greatest difficulty for the chemist and for the farmer is in dealing with cakes called " mix tures," as a mixture of bran and poppy-cake with linseed of a very high quality may give as good an analysis as a genuine cake made from linseed of a poorer quality, and it is a fact that samples have been offered in Hull market of seed used for " reducing high quality linseed," this seed being in reality wild mustard and other seeds sifted out of linseed. The Professor stated that in many instances analyses made in the laboratory have been the means of get ting back a large part of the price paid by the fanner for adulterated articles. In conclusion, he alluded to the importance of paying more attention to the purity of the water of wells, from which cattle are supplied, and which can be ascertained only by chemical analysis. This morning, at 9 o'clock, the Judges began their labours in the show yard,--a plot of about 25 acres, on Glasgow-green ; the charge for admission to the public judging being los., and for members and exhibitors half-price. At 2 o'clock the fee was lowered to half-a-crown ; this rate continues till midday to-morrow, and thenceforward up to the close of the show on Thursday night the admission will be one shilling, with members and exhibitors free. In number of entries the show is of scarcely average magnitude ; there a re on l y 2 86 cattle, against 361 at Inverness in 1865 ; the sheep number only 505, against 812 at Inverness; th e h orses, how ever, are 212, against 122 at the last show, and the pigs are 80, against 43 at Inverness ; and thus, with a large increase in poultry, the total entries come to a full average, though still somewhat behind the great show of 1865. Of course, in the " district" of Lanark, Ayr, Ren frew, Argyle, Arran, and Bute, the strength of the exhibition lies with the Ayrshire and Highland cattle, and with the Clydesdale horses. The classes of ruddy Devons and white-faced Herefords of our southern shows are absent here ; and even the shorth3rns are far outnumbered by the Scotch cattle. The first place in the yard and in the cata logue is given to the Ayrshires, which number 121 entries; and no wonder that prominence should be given to this breed, or that perhaps the greatest interest during the day should have centred round the prize stalls of these rare milkers, when we re member that the Ayrshires are exclusively the dairy stock of the counties Ayr, Renfrew, and Lanark, which comprise more than a fourth of the whole popu lation of Scotland. A continental writer of three centuries ago said that in Ayrshire were " cattle of great size, whose flesh is tender and sweet, and another kind which never became fat, but yield rich milk ;" they may be more symmetrical in form now, and of more kindly-feeding quality, but still, in spite of all the art said to be practised in getting up the animals for show, of which intimations are revealed in the universal custom of polishing the horns, there is comparatively little flesh covering their slender frames. The judges were Messrs. Alex. Buchanan, John Macadam, and Jas. Pollock ; and they had to award handsome money prizes and bronze medals, but no distinctive honours, such as cups or gold medals, singling out the best animal of a breed ; in fact, throughout the whole show there are none of those extra prizes and challenge plates, offered on special conditions, which excite so much interest and keen competition at the meetings of some other societies. Forty Ayrshire bulls made up three good classes— the winners of first prizes being Mr. Robt. Wilson, Mr. John Dick, and Mr. John Fleming ; and the winners of second prizes, Mr. W. A. MacLachlan, Mr. R. Wilson, and Mr. D. Forrester. Two gold medals are given to the cows which took first prizes at Inverness in 1865 and at Glasgow as far back as 1857 ; and two fine cows of the Duchess Dowager of Atholl have come in for both medals, in classes, however, presenting no competition. There are 29 cows in three classes, and 24 heifers in two classes ; the winners of first prizes are Mr. John Jackson, Mr. Jas. Pollock, Mr. It. Wilson, Mr. Lawrence Drew, and John Meikle ; and the winners of second prizes are Mr. Jas. Cleland, Mr. Lawrence Drew, Mr. David Forrester, Mr. Jas. Muir, and Mr. Jas. Mitchell. Decidedly " the coo o' the Shaw" is Mr. Robt. Wilson's " Mearns," aged six years, having a wonderfurodder, a deep frame, light in front of the shoulder, with coat, horns, ears, &c., duly according to the rule of the breed, and her colour pretty enough, being what is here called " flecked." The heifers make a. remarkably pretty show, but to the eye of a short-horn breeder appear sadly wanting about the ribs, neck, and quarters, while the up ward turned, or " stag's horns," neutralise to him all the beauty of the taper, faces and " looks" not altogether placid enough to suit our south country braziers. The iihorthonis number only 01 3 including but The formal declaration of the result of the poll for West Gloucestershire was made from the hust ings at Dursley yesterday. As at the nomination the greater number of those present seemed the friends of the Hon. C. P. F. Berkeley, the defeated Liberal candidate. The High Sheriff announced the numbers to be —for Col. Somerset, C. 8., the Conservative candidate, 3,649 ; for the Hon. C. P. F. Berkeley, 3,553 ; majority, for Somerset, 96. This announcement was received with considerable cheering, mingled with equally loud groans. Col. Somerset was formally girt with the sword, and then came forward ; and when, after a long while, he could obtain a hearing, he offered the electors his sincere thanks for having returned him by a triumphant majority. He called his supporters the soldiers who had fought the good fight, and stood to their colours ; alluded to the unity of action and heartiness of feeling which had secured his return ; and named especially his proposer and seconder, and also Sir G. Jenkinson, whose manly and straightforward line of conduct he particularly commended. Among those on the hustings were Colonel Berkeley, Mr. H. Berkeley, M.P., and Mr. W. P. Price, M.P., and Mr. G. Berkeley (Conser vative). The latter tried to obtain a hearing, but, after showing much patience, was obliged to give way to his nephew, the defeated candidate, who re turned his formal thanks, and said that, though defeated, the Liberal party was not disgraced. He added about half a dozen sentences, in which he asked the other side to explain why so many who had signed the requisition to him had not voted for him. (Applause.) The uproar had been gradually increasing, and when Mr. Grantley Berkeley stood forward again the Liberal part of the crowd became so enraged that they pressed hard upon the Conser vative farmers, and for the next half hour there was a band to hand struggle between the two parties, and the police had to press forward and use long staves to keep the two divisions of the crowd apart There were loud cries on either side, and the alarm of the Curiservative ladies in a temporary gallery was great. Meanwhile Mr. Grantley Berkeley spoke to Mr. Price and his nephew, and then, in tho hub bub, addressed his remarks chiefly to the reporters. Talking as if to the crowd, he said he had come for ward to sp,!ak in good humour to them, had not a parcel of ragged boys made an attempt to prevent his being heard. He had intended to give them some fun, but now he should apply the rod. He then called them turncoats for turning their backs on re form, and said that of all ungrateful men he had ever heard Mr. Price was the worst, having constantly advocated liberal measures, and now refusing one offered by the Government. -He (the speaker) did not forget his political principles, and was prepared to support Lord Derby's Government, or any Go vernment, so long as it was faithful to its Conserva tive characteristics. While the noise continued he told the Liberals they were no better than wild beasts, and not fitter to enjoy the franchise, and then reproached them with blowing hot and cold, and threatened that an attempt should yet be made to get two Conservative members for West Gloces tershire. The reason the supposed requisitionists had not voted for Mr. C. Berkeley was that they had not signed their names. By this time the disturbance had become serious. Missiles were being thrown at Mr. G. Berkeley, and they nar rowly escaped the reporters in front. But Mr. Price and Mr. C. Berkeley, who evidently did not sym pathise with their supporters, descended from the hustings and by a dexterous movement led the riotous part of the crowd off to another part of the town, and then themselves went into the house of one of the chief yellow voters. Meanwhile Sir G. J enkinson addressed the re mainder of the crowd, which soon dispersed. But political feeling still ran high, and Sir George and Lady Jenkinson and their daughter, and Mr. G. Berkeley were pelted with rotten eggs and cheeps' heads, and other disgusting things, as they went to their carriage, guarded by the police, to drive away from the town. MARKETS.--This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Although the supply of beasts here to-day was only moderate, sales progressed slowly, at about Monday's cur rency. The best Scots, ex., sold at 53. 4d. per Sibs. Prime Down and half-bred sheep were in fair request, at full prices; but inferior breeds were heavy, at barely the late decline in the quotations. The top figure was 58. 2d. per Blbs. The supply was tolerably good. Lambs were very dull, at a decline in value of 2d. per Blbs. Prices ranged from ss. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. There was a steady business passing in calves, at previous rates; but pigs and milch cows commanded very little attention. two or three animals from the south side of the Tweed. Mr. Booth, of Wor]aby, would have been an exhibitor had cattle been allowed by the cattle plague regulations to come directly out of Yorkshire, and other eminent breeders have been deterred from sending because the Green on which the show is held is the very spot where Irish and fureign cattle have been regularly landed, though, as a safeguard, this has been lately discontinued. In the aged bull class the first prize goes to Sir T. Buchan Hepburn's " Comet," a white bull of very great frame and substance, which was first at Coldstream, wanting, however, in the style and nobility of appearance necessary to take a high place at a Royal Show. Mr. James Whyte's "Prince of Worlaby," a wonder fully heavy beast frpm the neighbourhood of Blackburn, is second ; and Lord Kinnaird's big bull " Oxford Louis" is third. In the two year old class Sir W. S. Maxwell's " heir Butterfly" is first., a very good bull never shown before, and heating Mr. G. Barclay's second Prize " heir of Englishman" mainly by a sweetness of head and generally grand style conferred by "Royal Butter fly" blood. Mr. Barclay's bull, also shown for the first time, has splendid quality under a fine, mossy coat, and is by many critics preferred to the first prize bull. He is half brother to the prize bull at the Battersea Show of 1862. Lord Kinnaird's mildling white bull " Royalist" takes the third prize. Mr. Lawrence Drew's first priz) yearling bull " heir Butterfly 4" is an extremely good ani mal, for size, length, and height ; Mr. J. Geddes' second prize bull is well made and compact ; Mr. Walter Scott's takes third prize ; and Mr. Alexan der Bell's lengthy, big, good bull " Duke of Edin burgh," which was first at the Melrose Show last spring, is " commended." Lord Strathallan's cow which was first at Inver ness iu 1865 (and so disqualified from again com peting in the Highland Society's show-yard) re ceives the usual gold medal. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

FORTIFICATIONS.—The Fortifications (No. 2) Bill authorises the following expenditure in the financial year 1867-68 :—On the Portsmouth station, £196,000 ; Ply mouth, £149,000; Pembroke, £19,000; Portland, £46,000; Gravesend, £93,000 for works at Coalhouse Fort, Cliffe Fort, Shornmead, and Slough Battery; Medway and Sheer ness, £75,000; Dover, £5,000; Cork, £12,000; also £150,000 for providing and fixing iron shields, and £55,000 for land and incidental expenses. The total is £BOO,OOO, which is to be raised as usual by terminable annuities, not extend ing hoyoud thirty years, so that this Licht:ration, is to pay it, At one time we thought that everything that was possible in the way of illumination and decoration had been accomplished by the Messrs. Defries, at the Agricultural Hall, on the occasion of the ever memor able Belgian ball ; but fresh wonders have been per formed, and last evening the gorgeous and dazzling scene was immensely heightened by the illumina tion of the thousands of ferns and palm trees, ranged tier above tier on either side the dais. The lights are so artistically placed that an endless number of fairy bowers appear in all directions, and refulgent blossoms spring from amid the beautiful plants that rise from floor almost to ceiling. The brilliant scene is effected by means of numberless tiny coloured lamps of every tint, and thousands of brilliant crystal prisms, which flash out the splendid colours of the rainbow in all directions. The scene produced by this wonderful feat of illumination is perfectly enchanting, and one is almost forced to believe himself in the fairy palace of Aladdin, rather than the Agricultural Hall at Islington. There is no abatement whatever of any of the splendour which presented itself to the astonished Belgians ; on the contrary, additions are constantly being made which still further heighten the effect of the grand interior, and myriads of fresh flowers daily replace those whose beauty has faded. Such is not the usual manner in which matters of the sort are generally managed. Decorations once effected are allowed to remain untouched, and not the slightest trouble is taken to keep up the original effect, because the object for which they were prepared has been served, but a different system has been adopted hero, and the result is that the concerts have turned out the most successful entertainments ever presented to the public. The closing of the Italian Opera has allowed the services of the leading members of Mr. Costa's orchestra to be secured, and the list of eminent vocalists has also been greatly strengthened. We hear of a number of attractive performances about to be given, the first of which will be Jullien's " British Army Quadrille" by the splendid orchestra, the bands of the Coldstream Guards, Grenadier Guards, and that of the Hon. Artillery Company. A grand ball is also in preparation for the English Volunteers , which, if report is to be believed, will outshine oven that given to the Belgians. REFORM LEAGUE DEMONSTRATION IN BYDE PARK. The ordinary meeting of the Council of the Re form League was held last evening at the offices , Adelphi-terrace,•Mr. E. Beales in the chair. The chief business before the meeting was the consider ation of what action should be taken with respect to the Parks Regulation Bill. The CLIAIRMAN, having reviewed the debate on Mr. Locke's amendment, said that the result of al l which had taken place was that the people, having exhausted all other means of showing their opposi tion to, and indignation at, this outrageous attempt , by passing the Parks Bill, to exclude the people from meeting in the park ; having in vain shown the utmost forbearance for months in abstaining from insisting upon their rights, and having ex pressed their readiness to assent to any reason able compromise, but all in vain, he (Mr. Beales) could no longer ask the people to forbear fronl manifesting their sense of thi intended wrong by their going in larger numbers than ever to Hyde Park to express that sense. All he asked was that the people now, as before, would show, by their ad mirable conduct, by their lawful and constitutiona l mode of proceeding, by not touching even the leaf of a flower or disturbing a shrub, their immense mora superiority over those who were now assuming, or rather usurping, the power in a condemned Parlia ment to legislate for them. Mr. Lucraft then moved, Mr. Merriman seconded , ' and it was agreed : " That the Executive Council be requested to talc° immediate steps for convening and rendering efiec" live a meeting of the people in Hyde Park to pre - , test against the Royal Parks Bill, as an invasion of the rights of the people to use the public lands as places of meeting for political objects, and to pro test against the so-called amendment of the lions ° of Lords upon the Reform Bill raising the figure fo r the lodger franchise froth £lO to £15." Seven o'clock was named for the meeting on Mon" day, and it was decided that the different branch ° of the League should meet previously with bands and banners. The following notice was ordered t ° be circulated by handbill and poster : " Reform League.—' To your tents, oh ! —A monster meeting of the working men and other inhabitants of the metropolis will be held in gY a Park on Monday evening next, August 5, a t o'clock, under the presidency of the Reform Leag ue ' to express the public indignation at the Parks hibition Bill, attempted to be passed through expiring and self-condemned Parliament; by t' t enemies of all popular rights, and also to Po tes b against the attempt of the House of Lords to rn . _ the lodger of his franchise.
