The Earl of CARNARVON has had a very busy time of it in performing the duties of chairman at the ,annual meeting of the Highclere Agricultural Association. In proposing the toast of the " Army, Navy, and Volunteers," the noble lord made some observations which are well worthy of notice, and at the present time especially, are peculiarly applic able, when so much is said and written about these subjects, and as much diversity of opinion prevails. As I.e)rd CARNARVON remarked, wftr, though always to be regretted, did not seem of latter days to be on the decrease, and peace a'pirations do not seem to be realised. The Crimean war scattered to the winds all the grand ideas of the Peace Society concerning universal peace and brotherhood, and we may observe that lately a Congress assembled upon the shores of a famous city in order to proclaim peace THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2.7, 1867. and define its principles, and yet the manner in that although they regretted the necessity of which they set about the matter was subversive of keeping the men under restraint, they would not its ends. They began by deciding upon the undertake to order its removal after the informa necessity of abolishing the Papacy, and of getting tion which had been received. The prisoners repre every tyrant in Europe out of the way. We sented by Mr. JONES, among whom was ALLEN, entirely concur with the noble lord as to the means who is believed to be the actual murderer of Ser pt w i t h a view to geant BREIT, refused to have any other co unsel, which this country should ado cultivating and securing peace — " and so the case proceeded, after a " little more We shall always cultivate peace, I hope, by the old-fashioned, but,'l denunciation of the cowardice and injustice" of am convinced, the far more effec tive p lan of being keeping in restraint men who had pretty clearly always ready for war if w ar is necessary." shown how little they or their associates respected This would be by far the wiser course to follow the dignity of the law or the lives of its officers. than to rush into either extreme of giving way to Upon the case itself, as it is yet under insult or of offending other n ations b y a policy o f progress, public comment would be out of place , but provocation. Respecting our army , it is not netts, the incident of the handcuffs is suggestive aS show sary that we should number as m an y forces as tho s e ing the mistaken view wilier a certain class of per- Continental States which are more ex p osed by sons take of these offenders and their offence. They their position, and labour under t he disadvantage persist in representing them as misguided patriots of possessing other forms of government. No one who are labouring for a great national cause, and better than Lord CARNARVON can pass judgment are to be treated with the respect due to prisoners upon the requirements of our possessions abroad, for of war. Mr. JONES and the other counsel during his tenure of office as Colonial Sec r e tar y he must have been perfectly well aware that the men whom they represented had been displayed considerable knowledge of affairs and implicated in a deliberate attack upon the ex cellent judgment. As he truly put it, we m ust olice, and that the civil authorities had bear in mind that the British army in England P been censured for not being sufficiently on their represents but a small portion of the force wh i c h we have to maintain. "We undertake to prov id e a guard against them. The fact of the prisoners n ot certain force for an enormous empire, large r than being placed under restraint at their first examina tion showed how little the officers of the court were belongs to any other nation in the world." A con siderable force is stationed in the colonies , and as inclined to abuse their power, but as they had cer for India there is only too much reason to app rehend taiuly erred on the side of too little caution on the that the army there may be too much reduced in- day of the rescue, they might well be forgiven if stead of being keing kept to too high a standard. they went to the other extreme. The information w Regarding the Abyssinian affair, the noble lord which they had received, and which induced them declared that if that war were necess ar y for our to be on their guard, was not of course made honour, it had better be prosecuted as v i go - public, and therefore the counsel could not fairly rously as possible. In order to do so , h e judge of the necessities of the case. In all these very wisely advises that all action s hould be matters the feeling of the Court is to give the c oncentrated, as far as possible, into one Prisoners the benefit of the doubt ; and, in spite of single department and into one single set of hands. the polite intimations of Mr. GOULD that English The remembrance of our many failures and disasters justice is a farce, there is no fear that it will not itself strong enough to be merciful as well as in the Crimea partly justifies what is here said of prove the necessity of making one of the Ministers respo n- Just, although it may find it necessary to vindicate sible, and giving one department the power and the majesty of the law with some rigour in the influence of controlling the E x p edition, so that it present instance. may not be hampered by anarchy and confusion of departments. Alter the many disparaging remarks which it is the fashion with some to make nowadays, it is really refreshing to meet with a speech like that of Lord CARNARVON'S respecting the progress that has been made in agriculture, and its prospects generally. If, he says, we look back to the state of things twenty years ago we shall find that in " agriculture, at all events, men are better housed, better clothed, and better fed than they were in former years ; they have more of the comforts, more of the luxuries of life, and in some cases, I may say, they have more of those refinements which are, after all, good and wholesome refinements, and which tend to make human life happier and better on the whole." The present period is one of tran sition, and, notwithstanding many drawbacks and difficulties, there are still some compensations to be met with. The noble lord took a very correct view of the subject, when he said that the policy of landlords and tenants was to remember that they were in the same boat, and looked the changes of the time fairly in the face, thus making the circum stances of the times in which they lived their own. This would be, indeed, a far wiser and more profit able mode of conducting affairs than to follow the course pursued with such fatal eagerness by some, of fostering dissensions around. The only way to make the inevitable changes which time brings to pass affect all interests as little as possible is to act with spirit and discernment, and exert ourselves to meet the emergency. Some of the prejudices arc happily gone by which existed as to the use of machinery, and the chairman informed the company that in travelling through the Lothians in Scotland he witnessed a great development of agriculture, and which was accompanied by nearly all the Mechanical appliances which art and science can suggest. Some of the suggestions made in this speech are very good, such, for instance, as where the expediency is dealt upon of punish ing the labourer with his allotment close to his cottage, so that when he returns from his work he may not have another mile or two to trudge, and thus lose heart in the business, besides having very little to give to the work. Further on in the even ing Lord CARNARVON, in adverting to the houses of Parliament, observed that it was greatly to be lamented that the business of the House of Lords was not arranged better, and thus the House of Commons would not be so overcrowded with work, and the other branch of the Legislature left to do comparatively little in the heavy business of the Session. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Moniteur intersperses some interesting new !acts in its review of foreign affairs. It says " The official declaration of the Italian Govern- went puts an end to all equivocation, and proves that is is determined to fulfil its engagements. The arrest of Garibaldi at Asinalunga at the moment when he was about to enter the Pontifical territory confirms its resolute attitude, and proves that Victor Emmanuel will not allow any attempt against the Pontifical frontier. Every one ap plauds the language and conduct of the Italian Government. The International Statistical Congress has as• sembled at Florence. King Victor Enimanue: proved the interest he takes in it by appointing Prince Humbert as President. The session will only last a week, but the preparatory arrangements are such as to insure good results in that time. There will be eight sections devoted to the princi pal branches of the statistics. Among other interesting questions to Congress will consult upon the best means of applying to all the States moue- ary conventions analogous to those which exis between France, Belgium, Switzerland, and the ,oman States. " The Austrian Reichsrath has resumed its sit tings. The Austrian empire will in future present a sort of dualism. One part will consist of the countries beyond the Leitha, that is to Hungary on the annexed countries which formed part of the ancient kingdom of St. Stephen, and the other part of the countries situated on this side of the Leitha. These two distinct groups are represented, one by the Diet of Pesth, the other by the Reichsrath of Vienna. Besides these two assemblies, which have a general character, there will be two special Diets for each province. Two Ministries, having each a President of the Council, will work simultaneously, the Transleithan Ministry at Pesth, and the Cis leithan Ministry at Vienna. Baron de Beust will no longer fill the office of President, but he will preserve that of Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is common to all parts of Austria, and in his character of Chancellor of the Empire he will exer cise a control over the two Ministries." The official Gazette of the Kingdom of Italy gives an explanation of the motives which induced the Government to arrest Garibaldi. It says, " The Ministry had been convinced, during several days, that a great number of volunteers were making their way towards the Pontifical territory, that depots of arms had been made, that other depots accompanied the volunteers or would follow them, and that Gen. Garibaldi, after leaving Florence was proceeding, by Arezzo, towards the same frontier by Asinalunga. The object of this movement was evident. Action really commenced. The alternatives were either to allow the violation of treaties, or to maintain the majesty of the law. The Ministry did its duty. The volunteers, who had already arrived at the frontier, or who were proceeding towards it, were advised to return home. When General Garibaldi arrived at Asinalunga he was summoned in the name of the law to return home. As he refused he was conducted to Alessandria. The depots of arms were seized. The Ministry fulfilled a painful duty, but if they had temporised any longer they foresaw that deplorable consequences would arise. The Ministry is confident that the good sense of the Italians will soon lead to the disappearance of every trace of an agitation which it closely watches." Another Italian journal says officially that the Convention of last September will be observed faithfully without reserve or mental restriction. As might have been expected, the examination of the prisoners at Manchester has not been conducted without some excitement. The greatest eagerness has been manifested by the populace both to obtain a sight of the prisoners and to hear the proceedings. The Irish inhabitants of the neighbourhood have mustered in great force in the vicinity of the police court, but there has been no further attempt at disturbance. Forty-two prisoners had to be re moved to and from the police court from the gaol, which is about two miles off, but ample precautions were this time taken to secure their safe transit. An escort of military and a strong body of police were sufficient to deter the most adventurous from hazarding another rescue. The road from the gaol to the city was thronged at an early hour, but there was no manifestation of feeling when the cavalcade made its appearance. The prisoners were brought into court handcuffed, and this gave rise to an animated and, indeed, angry discussion. The several counsel, headed by Mr. ERNEST JONES, who appeared for the prisoner GOULD, made application for the removal of the irons. Considering the nature of the offence with which these men were charged the virtuous indig nation shown by these gentlemen was almost amusing. " You must be aware," said Mr. COT TINGHAM to the magistrate, " that a Judge of Assize would not tolerate such a thing, and would consider it an insult to the Court if handcuffs were put on." Mr. JONES was still more imperative ; but Mr. FOWLER, the presiding magistrate, met their somewhat unceremonious appeals with calmness and decision. - He reminded the barristers that they had themselves admitted the case to be a most un usual one, and therefore it would not be wise or suitable for the magistrates to interfere with the precautions thought necessary by the police. The case was therefore allowed to proceed for some time without further interruption ; but after a brief adjournment of the Court the question was again brought up more vehemently than ever. Mr. ERNEST JONES, upon being a second time refused, went so far as to throw up his brief and leave the Court, saying he would not lend himself to such a violation of the course of justice. Of course the prisoners were not going to be left behind in vir tuous indignation, and those who were represented by Mr. JONES refused to have any other counsel, though Mr. FOWLER offered to adjourn the case until they had procured some other advice. The magistrates showed every disposition to be concilia, tory, and retirwd to consult with Captain P,Aux upon the question. When they returned, 1 Mr. FOWLER expressed their unanimous opinion Asinalunga, where Garibaldi was arrested, which is also called Sinalunga, is a small town of the Kingdom of Italy, in the former Duchy of Tuscany, situate to the south of Arezzo, some 50 or 60 miles from the Pontifical frontier formed at that point by Lake Trasimene. On the other side of the lake, to the south east of the frontier, is Perouse. Some excitement has been produced in Paris by the news of the arrest of Garibaldi, which, I believe, I communicated exclusively. The general opinion seems to be that the course adopted in this respect by the Italian Government was dictated by good faith and sound discretion. I understand that the Government has made the offer to Garibaldi either to remain prisoner or permission will be given to him to return to his residence at Caprera if he will promise not to engage in any expedition which will compromise the fidelity of the Government to the treaty of last September, or offend in any other way against the law. For some days there has been a report in Paris of a second French expedition to Rome. I believe that the report is not well founded. More fatal accidents while shooting have occurred A young man of 18, the son of the tax collector at St. Calais, had been s hooting with two friend near Soissons. The three were proceeding up the path of a mountain, one behind the two others. One of the party recollected that there was an obstruction in the barrel of the gun, and he turned round to remedy it. The gun V ent off, and the charge entered the young man's side, and he died almost instantly. M. Couteau, a proprietor at Marchieunes, was shooting with his son and two other persons. A partridge rose, and the son called out, " Father, it is your turn." One of the party immediately fired, however, and the charge entered the body of M. Couteau, senior, before he had time to turn aside. It is not yet known whether the in juries will be mortal. A frightful accident, of a kind which is not un usual during the process of wine-making, has hap pened at Pezenas. A lady had come to Pezenas to see her daughter, who was married to a M. Vedal. In the apartment occupied by the mother and daughter was an immense vessel sunk underneath in which the grapes were fermenting, and as the opening was only guarded by a chair the mother fell into it during the momentary aimenee of her daughter, and was suffoc.►ted before assistance was at hand. A Swiss journal, L'Ami du Peuple, mentions an interesting archaeological discovery at Lussay, near Romont. In a marshy field at a depth of a foot and a half, a bronze statue of Minerva has been found in good preservation. The head is covered with a helmet surmounted by a bird. The goddess wears the tunic, the peplum, and the egide with a Gorgon's head, and also the cloak called the diplois by the Greeks. It is supposed that there was a lance in the right hand. There is a silver bracelet on the left arm. The execution is beautiful, particu larly the drapery. The spot where the statue was fouud is called Roche Terraz, and it is known that the locality was inhabited in the time of the Romans. A farmer of St. Andre, near Roanne, who was recently at the Exhibition, remarked that some of the auriferous minerals from California resembled in colour and in other respects the land in his own vineyard. Ile therefore sent for some. It has been analysed by a Paris chemist, and it is found that 4,0001b5. of the clots of earth and mineral have yielded 7 grammes of gold, that is to say the value of 20fr. The mineral was taken from St. Andre, but the land between that commune and St. Albini is of a similar character, and it is supposed may yield a greater proportion of gold. It would be curious if France should become a rival to Cali- - orma. To-day has been somewhat brighter than yester day, but a very cold, violent, northerly wind has prevailed, and out of the sun the temperature has been like that of December. There was frost in the country early this morning. The Boundary Commissioners and the Borough of Lambeth. Yesterday Major-General Bainbrigge, R.E., and Nassau Senior, Esq., barrister-at-law, the Assistant Boundary Commissioners, attended at the Sessions House, Newington, for the purpose of adjusting and settling the boundaries of the borough of Lambeth for electoral purposes. The proceedings created considerable attention, and a number of influential gentlemen who take an interest in the affairs of the borough were present. Among these were Messrs. Fowler, Jones, and Martin, as representing the parish of Lambeth ; Messrs. Andrews, Thompson, and Marsden as repre- senting the parish of Camberwell; Messrs. Bartlett and Shore, as representing the hamlets of Dulwich; Messrs. Chadwin and Corselles as representing the parish of Battersea; and Messrs. Selwyn, Barlow, and E. Dresser Rogers, as representing the Lambeth Liberal Registration Association. There were others present who felt interested in the proceedings, though not in a representative capacity. Mr. E. DRESSER ROGERS submitted that, consi- dering the great extent of ground which had now been built over outside the present boundary of the borough, it was absolutely requisite the boundaries should be considerably enlarged. It was, at the same time, of great importance that any increase in the boundary should, if possible, be consistent with the parish boundaries, and looking at the fact that it was possible a change might take place in the local government of the metropolis, and that any such change would most likely include municipalities consisting of the several areas computed in the present districts now under the present local Management Act, it was most desirable that the borough of Lambeth should include the whole of the parish of Lambeth, the whole of the parish of Cam berwell, inclusive of Dulwich, together with the parish of Clapham. At present Dulwich, which was in the parish of Camberwell, was not within the borough boundary, though it was within the opera tion of the Metropolis Local Management Act, and though there was a large population there, and a large portion of the houses such as would not give the occupiers county votes. Mr. BARTLETT objected to the hamlet of Dulwich being included within the borough boundary. It be longed to the corporation of Dulwich College, and had always been secluded from the borough of Lambeth. Mr. SELWYN said the reasons which Mr. Bartlett had assigned for Dulwich not being placed within the boundary of the borough of Lambeth did not seem to have occurred to the Boundary Commis sioners of 1832, for the reasons they gave for not extending their boundary further then, were in effect that they had fixed it so far as that space would be afforded for building operations for some time to come. But the fact now was that building opera tions had so extended that number of houses, dis- ricts of them he might say, had b een b u ilt contigu ous to but outside the present boundary ; and the houses composing these districts not being sufficient to give a county vote unless the boundary was ex tended so as to include them, the occupiers of them would have no vote at all, and, so far as they were concerned, the Reform Bill would be a dead letter. General BAINBRIGGE said that would be almost doubling their present area, and he doubted whether the Legislature would sanction such a proposal. Besides, they would take a large slice off the county of Surrey. Mr. FOWLER thought the new boundary should be extended beyond the present one to the points where the houses became dispersed andirregular, and where the population was thin. The boundary he would suggest was that they should start from a point on the west side of Brixton parish, and pro ceed eastward through Upper Tulse-hilll, then down Tulse-hill to " Tulse-hill Hotel," and from thence along Thurlow Park-road by Dulwich-common on to the boundary of the parish of Camber well ; while on the other side they should include so much of the parish of Battersea as lay between St. George's Church and the boundary of the parish at the river. Mr. BARNARD said he had been requested by Mr. Burnett, the distiller at Vauxhall, to bring under the notice of the commissioners the state of matters which existed at Nine-elms at present in conse quence of that district not being within the boun dary. There were gasworks and other large manu factories there in which vast numbers of men were employed. When these men left off work, some went one way, some another. Those of them who occupied houses within the boundary had votes, but those of them who lived in an exactly similar class of houses just outside the boundary had no votes, their houses not being sufficient to give a county qualification. Mr. Burnett was unable to be present himself, but he had' desired him to bring that cir cumstance under the notice of the commissioners, as he considered it a matter which ought to be reme died by bringing a portion of the parish of Battersea where this district was situated within the new boundary. Gen. BAINBRIGGE said the suggestion was one worthy of consideration, and it would be attended to. He then stated that the commissiouors would carefully examine into all the suggestions which had been made. On the motion of Mr. D. ROGERS, seconded by Mr. SELWYN, a vote of thanks was passed to the commissioners for the attention they had given to the various gentlemen who had made suggestions to them, when the proceedings terminated. A THE RESCUE OF PRISONERS FROM POLICE VANS. —The recent rescue of Fenian prisoners from the police van in Manchester seems to have attracted the attention of the authorities to the subject of the safe holding of pri soners in general. A communication was received by the Marylebone Vestry, at their sitting yesterday, from the Chief Surveyor of the Metropolitan Police force, calling attention to the fact that the exterior of the Marylebone Police-court was often the scene of riotous proceedings and attempted rescues of prisoners being removed from the court to the police-van. The van could not approach close to the court, but the prisoners had to be escorted down a narrow passage GO yards in length, and in this frequent attempts at rescue were made. To prevent such occur rences it was proposed to take the house next to the court and throw it into the police-yard, so as to allow sufficient room for the van to be driven up. This, however, would necessitate cettain alterations in the paved passage, which could only be carried out by the local authorities, and it was hoped the vestry of St. Marylebone would afford the facilities required.

BRUSSELS, Wednesday, Sept. 25. To-day a very interesting public ceremonial took place in this city in connexion with the late inter change of visits between the Belgian military bodies and the English Volunteers. This was the presen tation to the King, on behalf of the Volunteers of Manchester and Salford, of a handsome full-length portrait of himself, for the painting of which his Majesty has honoured the painter, Mr. Charles Mercier, with several sittings during the last few weeks at the Brussels Palace. The news that there was to he this ceremonial had early spread through the city, for the King and Queen had returned for the occasion front Ostend, and the warmest interest was manifested by the people. The city was en fete from an early hour, and the streets were enlivened all through the morning by troops marching from the various bar- racks to the Palace, and to the place where the ceremonial was appointed to be held, the Tir Na tional building, in the Chaus63 Louvain. In the immense square in front of the picturesque building where the national shooting competitions are carried on for the encouragement of rifle shooting among all classes of the people, military and civil, large bodies of the military were drawn up, and with them was a company of the last organisation formed on Bel gian soil, a result of the international visits between England and Belgium—namely, the authorised Volunteers of the country. The dress of this body is exceedingly neat, useful, and picturesque, and is an improvement in some particulars upon that of which it is a copy—the uniform of the British Volunteers. The organisation is similar to that of the English Volunteers. The members giving unpaid services to the country, and paying for their own outfits. The Belgian Volunteers, though at present a small body, having only just been sanctioned, are well commanded and drilled, and appear to be a very smart body of citizen soldiers. There was an immense multitude sur- rounding the square, and all the streets from the Palace to the Tir were thronged with people anxious to testify their loyalty to their Sovereign. The Tir building was filled with ladies and gentlemen, and officers of all grades;and there were gathered there some 20 English Volunteers who had arrived in Brussels to take part in the rifle contests to which they had been specially invited. The portrait was covered, and was erected on a stand in the centre of the building, and between the pictures and the grand dais the English Volunteers formed a line of honour under Captain Dighton, of the London Rifle Brigade, with whom there were Lieutenant Vansco lina and Ensign While, of the Finsbury Rifle Corps, and among the other Volunteers present were re presentatives of the South and West Middlesex, the 2d and 3d London, and the 3d Middlesex Artil- lery, forming in all a picturesque group ; but some officers, whose names have not been mentioned, and some privates, were in undress uniform, and pre. sented a somewhat slovenly appearance by the side of their etiquette-regarding brethren. The people waited very patiently and in a very orderly manner until the strains of the " Brabangonne" and a salvo of can non announced the Royal approach, when a loud cheer from those in the open air burst forth, and, being taken up by those under cover, resounded again and again through the building. The great doors of the 'fir behind the dais were then thrown open, and the King entered, attended by M. Van denpeereboona, the Minister of the Interior ; Lieu tenant-General Prison, aide-de-camp of the King ; Count d'Hanins de Moerkerke, Grand Ecuyer ; Baron the Major Brise, adjutant of the Palace ; and Captain de Breurver, Officer of Ordnance. The Royal party was received by the council of the Tir Na tional, among whom were M. Daily, the Presi dent; Major De L'Eau, M. Dubois, Major Stoefs, Count Renesse Breidbach, Captain Periguon, Count Leon de Robiano, and M. Boulart, the secretary. With those who thus received the King was Colonel Thompson, who wore the uniform of a deputy lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets county. He imme diately introduced the Manchester deputation, which was composed of Captain Hardy, Dr. Peter Doyle, Lieutenant Furniss, and Mr. Burns. Colonel THomrsoN, in introducing the deputa tion, explained to his Majesty that the gentlemen composing it came from Manchester and Salford, and desired to offer for his Majesty's acceptance the portrait, as a souvenir of the recent visit of the Bel gians to England. That visit, he begged to assure his Majesty, had given the liveliest satisfaction to the English nation, and particularly so to the Eng lish Volunteers, inasmuch as it afforded them the opportunity of returning, in some small degree, the splendid reception and hospitality given to the English Volunteers on their visit to Brussels last year. The magnificence of that reception and hos pitality would never fade from their memories. His Majesty would permit him to say that the gentle men before him were citizens of the united borough of Manchester and Salford, and to those places was solely due the honour which must arise from his Majesty's acceptance of the painting. Manchester and Salford, as his Majesty might know, were places foremost in the useful manufactures. Before retiring he would beg permission to mention the name of Captain Charles Mercier, who had painted the portrait, and who, by his zeal, intelligence, and talent, had succeeded, as the com mittee believed, in the work he had undertaken, and that his skill in this production would secure for him that future fame which he so well merited. Colonel Thompson then, turning to the Garde Civique, who formed a guard of honour, addressed them as follows :—Messieurs de la Garde Civique,—Avec la permission du Roi, je veux vous expliquer que les messieurs quo j'ai eu l'honneur de presenter it Sa Majesty vont lui offrir ce portrait, qui peiut si bien les nobles traits de votre noble Roi, comme souvenir de votre visite en Angleterre. Je suis sur que ceux d'entre vous qui ont 6t6 en Angleterre pourraient bien temoigner que nulle part mieux que chez nous on sait crier " Vive la Belgique !" " Vive le Roi des Beiges." This was very loudly cheered again and again. His MAJESTY said—l beg to thank you, Colonel Thompson, for the kind terms in which you have expressed yourself, and to assure you, what indeed you know already, that I am always very happy to see you. I avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for your exertions as a member of the executive of the Belgian Reception Committee, and to tell you how much I am pleased with the reception given to the Belgians who visited England. I again assure you that I am always happy to see both you and the English Volunteers in Brussels. Dr. P. ROYLE, on behalf of the deputation, then addressed the King as follows :—May it please your Majesty, we have the honour to approach your Ma jesty on behalf of the Belgian Reception Committee of the city of Manchester and the borough of Sal ford, and in accordance with a respectful address which was humbly presented to your Majesty in the month of July last by a deputation consisting of Dr. Pettinger, Capt. Butler, Surgeon T. N. Dean, and Mr. Burne, the honorary secretary, the prayer of which memorial your Majesty was graciously pleased to grant, by permitting Captain Charles Mercier to paint your Majesty's portrait, as a special token of the esteem with which the inhabitants of those places regard your Majesty and your Majesty's be loved people. The committee having pleasure in stating that from the gracious condescension of your Majesty in granting numerous sittings to Capt. Mercier, who has the honour to be among the num ber of the citizen soldiers of England, they are able to present this portrait of yourself for your most gra cious acceptance, and they earnestly hope that not only as a truthful likeness, but as a work of art, it may be preserved as a lasting memorial in com memoration of the kindly interchange of good feel ings which exist between the people of Belgium and of England—of respect and esteem for the personal character of your Majesty, the son of so distinguished a father, and one so nearly related to and venerated by our beloved Queen. In the name and on behalf of the Belgian Reception Committee of the city of Manchester and borough of Salford, we present this portrait for your Majesty's gracious acceptance. On the last words being spoken, the picture was suddenly undraped by Capt. Robyt, one of the Tir National Commission, and displayed to public view. There was a hushed explanation of surprise and ---......—....---- rY pleasure, d suppressed exclamations of " Ve beautiful !" in French and Flemish. His Majesty said—Gentlemen of the Manchester Committee, I am very much gratified by the present you make me of my portrait, painted by your desire. I receive it with the greatest pleasure as an addi tional sympathy with my country and its constitu tional ruler. Gentlemen, I beg you to accept my warmest thanks for the picture you offer me, and for selecting the celebration of the national festivities of September as a fit opportunity for its presentation. I also rtquest you to convey my thanks to Captain Mercier, who has placed his time and talent at your disposal for the accomplishment of your kind inten tions. I shall have the portrait hung in a place of honour. The people, who could not have heard the speech, loudly cheered, and the King then, descending from the dais, advanced, with his Staff, to the picture, which he viewed with much interest. He then turned to the English volunteers, and addressed each officer or otherwise in a few kindly words, ex pressive of his pleasure at seeing them, and his hopes that they might of ten visit Brussels. On seeing those who wore the Belgian reception medal given last year in Brussels he expressed himself particu larly well pleased, as their presence testified they had well enjoyed themselves when here before. As his Majesty turned towards the dais the Volunteers gave a thorough English cheer, which was again and again echoed by the people. The King then went to the different firing points, and left the building amid the same enthusiastic cheers which greeted his entrance. The deputation, Colonel Thompson and Captain Mercier, were afterwards invited to dine with the King. Cllllll __ 4F , _ ~..., ,z,-- HER MAJESTY. BAL3IORAL, Sept. 25. The Queen, acccmpanie I by Princess Louise, and attended by Lady Churchill and Major General Sir Thomas Biddulph, went yesterday morning over to the Duke of Richmond's lodge at Glenfiddich, to remain a few days. Prince and Princess Christian went out driving. The Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy left the Castle yesterday. THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—Our readers will learn with great satisfaction that the Princess continues to make such progress towards recovery as may almost be said to exceed the anticipations of those who were most sanguine of a cure. She improves daily, and is constantly gaining more use of the limb. And if any one still hesitates to be' lieve in news, which some may think too good to be true, wo may possibly lesson their doubts by a few words more. So much better is his patient that the attendance of Mr. Paget is thought no longer necessary, and ho is expected to return to London on the 30th inst. The Princess will probably remain at Wiesbaden for two or three weep more, under the care of Dr. Has; who has aided Mr. Paget by directing the special treatment adopted with such good results at this watering-place.—Lancet. His Excellency Comte Larisch Monnich, accow panied by Comte Henry de Larisch and Mr. Pringle, bas arrived at Maurigy's Hotel from Vienna. _ _ His Excellency the Hon. G. S. S.

The Earl and Countess Stanhope and Lady Mary Stanhope have returned to Chevering, near Seven oaks, from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Salis bury at Hatfield House, Herts. The Countess (Frances) Waldegrave and the Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue will return to Chewton Abbey, her ladyship's seat in Somersotshiro, from Ardoet Ireland, early in the ensuing week. Viscount and Viscountess Cranborne and family are expected to arrive in town in a few days from the south of France. DISSOLUTION OF IDE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. The Royal decree dissolving the Prussian Cham bers was preceded by a Ministerial report, of which the following is a translation : " Berlin, Sept. 20. " Upon the approach of the period when the Con stitution is about to be put in force in the newl3" acquired countries, and which will consequently take part in the national representation, thus ex tending it over the entire territory of the State, it i 5 necessary to determine the question whether the deputies wbo shall be elected in those countries are to form a part of the present Chamber of Deputies' or whether there should be a complete reconstructio n of that body. After a careful consideration the Ministers respectively undersigning feel bound to decide in favour of the latter proceeding. The pre sent Chamber of Deputies is the creation of elec' tions which were made before the extension of the Prussian territory and before the political transfor' mation of Germany had been effected. It was within the limits of its mission to co-operate consti: tutionally in fixing the bases of the Confederation 0 ' the Northern States, and to the legal union of the newly-acquired countries with the ancient province s of the monarchy, and especially to provide for the populations of those new countries admission into the Prussian State and its representation. The Chats' ber of Deputies has rendered that co-operation with patriotic devotion, and has thus acquired a claim to the gratitude of the nation. Its present niernberS, however, cannot find in the powers they have hithert o possessed the basis of a constitutional representa tion of the entire Prussian people. According to article 83 of the Constitution the members o f the Chambers are to be representatives of the e ntire people. But the totality of the Prussion people is now different from what it was at the time of their election, to which must be added the fact that the circle of those persons upon whom the choice of the various electoral bodies may fall is now materialll extended. Further, it would not correspond wit h the regulation laid down by article 73 of the Con' stitution, which requires a uniform legislative periods if a considerable number of deputies not elected t° replace retiring members, but by virtue of a no ir right, should enter the House when the legislativ e term was almost half expired. As this last conside ration is not in principle unimportant as regards the Constitution, so also out of consideration for the new territories and for the importance of their union with the former monarchy it appears to be urgently required that the admission of these territories to the representation should commence with a sell legislative period. The feeling of complete equalitY and coherence of the new with the old provinc es will certainly be increased, and thereby at the say° time their internal fusion be facilitated, if the recer tion of the representatives of the new provinces int ° the representative system should give rise to a c oll3 ' plete renewal of the Legislature. Above all, it ea' responds with the importance of the new develop' ment entered upon by the Prussian State in the er tension of territory it has acquired that this nelv phase should be marked by the convocation of a new representation of the whole Prussian people from e if ll o portions of which the monarchy now consists. 1' believe it, therefore, to be our duty humbly t ° , advise your Majesty to dissolve the Chamber 61' Deputies in virtue of article 51 of the Constituti oof in order that the first elections in the newil' acquired territories, and fresh elections in th e ol d' o may be held without delay. For that pu r p ose submit to your Majesty the annexed ordinance ch i t solving the Chamber of Deputies, and pray o° , o y o ur Majesty will-be graciously pleased to ex ectl the same." The report is signed by all the Ministers. of DEFRAUDING A RAILWAY COMPANY. —A ca se an extraordinary character was heard before the rnag': trates at Oswestry yesterday. The Rev .
