The Ses.,ion has opened under favourable circum stances, and, we may hope, for the best, since all parties seem inclined to combine to make the best use of their time. It cannot be denied that the Government meet Parliament under circumstances of sonic difficulty, but the only way to get over that Cifficulty will be to look the matter fairly in the face, and to consider what can be done to vindicate the honour of the country. The Royal Speech was couched in most expressive terms respecting th.,:! Abyssinian expedition, and, more fully than such compositions generally do, explained low Parliament must come to the aid of the Sove reign and her advisers in disposing of a matter that deeply involves the credit of the country and inter fering with the conduct of our affairs abroad, inas much as the safety and welfare of our fellow-sub jects are outraged. The DERBY Administrations which have held office during late years have been proverbial for having the luck of dealing with awkward things ; and this Abyssinian affair threatens to be not the least vexed question of the day. It is a satisfaction, at any rate, that the whole subject is now before both Houses of the Legislature, and hence the public mind will be fully represented, and all will have an opportunity of understanding those particulars, which during the recess can never be so well comprehended in all their bearings. For some time past those best in formed and most familiar with things believed that something more than ordinary would come of the dilly-dallying of King THEODORE, but perhaps even they hardly expected that the affair would increase in magnitude and importance until a Session of Parliament was anticipated, in order thatfull powers might be given to the Executive to send out an ex pedition to rescue the prisoners, or at least to avenge their wrongs. Au °ppm tunity was afforded last night for the illustration of that good feeling which, to the credit of English political life, always was superior to mere party conflicts and ambitious views. Mr. GLAD STONE, in a graceful manner, offered the Chancellor of the Exchequer the sympathy of the House under the trying circumstances in which he had to meet them, and refrained from touching on those minor points relative to the recess speeches, and so on. The remainder of the right honourable gentleman's speech was very much to the point and most statesmanlike in its sugges tions. He advised the House to have faith in Par. liament, and not to add the expenses of this expedi tion to the debt of the country. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was received with general cheering, returned his thanks to the House for the kind manner in which they sympathised with him, and in a short speech alluded to the chief points of the Speech. Tho Abyssinian Expedition, he ad mitted, had not been agreed to by the House, and it was quite free from pledges on the sub- ject. It is worthy of notice, as Colonel HoGG observed in seconding the address, that Lord STAN LEY could not have informed the House of the expedition to Abyssinia at the end of last session, because at that time King THEODORE had not an swered the ultimatum which had been sent to him. In the House of Lords Lord RUSSELL alluded to be expedition to Abyssinia in rather captious terms, which were the more uncalled for as a great of the mismanagement of the earlier stages of the affair, rests with the noble lord himself and his col leagues. Regarding Reform the noble lord tried some bitter jokes, and assured Lord DERBY that be had better have explained how the Scotch and Irish bills would be for the good of the House, rather than content himself by saying that he was going to take two more leaps in the dark. Lord DERBY made an effective speech, in which he very truly declared that all who entered at all into this Abyssinian question must see that the honour and dignity of the British Crown could no longer be treated with insult, and the offenders be treated with impunity. The noble earl showed the House in the most complete manner that all had been done by the Government which could possibly be done to settle the matter in an amicable form. We would direct particular atten tion to this pas age of the noble lord's discourse, because some have been very ready with their cri ticisms on the subject before they understood it themselves. A time must come in all discussions of this kind when remembrance must cease and action begin, or of what avail is it to have force at our command at all ? No doubt much may ' often be done to smooth down things, and let arbitration take the place of war; but there are ex ceptions to every rule, and this Abyssinian matter is unquestionably one of them. On the whole, we may conclude that the Government has been well received by Parliament, and that the unanimous acceptance of the Address to her MAJESTY by both Houses of Parliament is a good augury of success for the future. The part of the Speech relating to education is satisfactory, and Mr DISRAELI declared it meant more than a flourish, and that her MAJESTY'S Ministers were fully determined to deal with the question as soon as possible. This is well, for the general feeling of the public has long decided upon the necessity that exists for some steps to be taken ; and no Government can hope to meet the approval of the public which does not deal with this vital topic in an unprejudiced manner, and quite irrespective of the doctrines of party and intolerance. The intelligence from the West Indies continues to be of the deepest interest. Official advices from St. Thomas report that all the officers and engineers of the Rhone were lost with the vessel. Out of 145 passengers 25 were saved, but most of the crew were drowned. Five steamers and sixty vessels were wrecked, and on shore the destruction was of an equally terrible character, the town being, it is said, almost in ruins. Happily, though the accounts of the hurricane at St. Thomas's appear to have been in no way exaggerated, there is reason for hoping that the catastrophe at Tortola has been unduly magnified. The British consul at Cuba has declared his belief that the news of the submersion has been much exaggerated, and our Consul at New York telegraphed yesterday to the Foreign-office that the intelligence was only re ceived by the New York Herald, and was doubted in New York. The Consul at Havannah had in formed the Consul at New York that no particulars had been received, but that the rumour was thought to be greatly exaggerated. This is further con firmed by the fact that a letter, dated November 1, had been received at Havannah from Tortola, say ing that a great fire had occurred there during the hurricane of the 29th, and mentioning that a family had been drowned. If this is the only foundation for the alarmiEg reports which have excited such widespread consternation, it is a noticeable instance of the rapid growth of rumour. Notwithstanding our indignation at the reckless propagators of such false news, we can only hop e that it may prove the case, but catastrophes are not unfrequent in these tropical sear, au' we know the recent tempests have been of au exceptionally violent rature. Po.sibly the truth lies somewhere between the, two accounts. There may have been great loss of life without " every living thing being destroyed." The sea may have swept over some low-lying districts im mediately on the coast without" the island having been submerged for eight hours." The authorities have adopted the wisest course in sending instruc tions to the Admiral commanding on the North American station, desiring him to send a ship of war to the Island of Tortola. It is quite time that this crud suspense were put to an end, and that the real nature and extent of the disaster were made public. The American news itself is not especially striking. Mr. THADDEUS STEVENS has written a letter on the finances, declaring that he abhors repudiation, but that he thought Gov_lnment was not bound to pay tha principal of the ive-Twenty Bonds in coin. He denounces the national banks, and recommends the issue of four million dollars legal tender monthly for the redemption of the bonds. This question of the finances is likely indeed to occupy a prominent position in the discussions of the coming Session, and we have yet to see what will be the effect of a more moderate and less reckless assembly. The Democratic majority in the late New York State elections was over 42,000, which indicates a considerable change in the feeling of the people. The several conven tions throughout the States are adopting various courses. One of them, the Conservative Conven tion in South Carolina, has Wined an address pro testing against negro supremacy—a protest in which they will have a good many secret if not avowed sympathisers. The Alabama Convention has taken up a new grievance, and memorialised Congress for the removal of the cotton-tax. General GRANT has issued a singular and some what mischievous order respecting the property in the South. He has ordered the Freedmen's Bureau Commissioners to take possession of all property in the South recorded as abandoned, and to dispossess unlawful occupants and all owners of property not making formal application for restitution before the Ist of January. This is placing a dangerous weapon in the hands of the Freemen's Bureau Commis sioners, and is paving the way for that confisca tion of the planters' property for the benefit of the negroes, which has been so often talked about by Radical leaders, but always denounced by the common sense and justice of the country. If it is not intended to lead to any such consequences, its effect is still likely to be bad, because the blacks on hearing of the order will naturally believe that the good time which they have been taught to look for so long is actually at hand, and in the present disturbed and unsettled state of their minds the disappointment which awaits them will be like a spark to tinder. The PRESIDENT happily seems determined to main tain his authority as Commander-in-Chief, and as such assumes the supreme direction of military affairs. He has assigned as a reason for suppressing the militia organisations in Washington the fact that they had been organised without his sanction as Commander-in-Chief under the Constitution. A firm hand is much needed on the reins, and we hope ho may succeed in keeping his turbulent subordinates in check. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. There is nothing of interest respecting Italy un less a proclamation from Mazzini, dated Nov. 8, may be so classed. It is as absurd as the Garibal dian manifestation. In this proclamation Mazzini calls upon his "fellow-citizens" to rise en masse, overthrow the Government of Victor Emmanuel, and march upon Rowe. These are brave words, quite in the Garibaldi style, and will, no doubt, be as effective in thair results as the projects of the hero of Caprera. A letter of a similar character also sees the light from Count de Falloux, the ultra-Conservative and reactionary Minister of 1848. The count is quite as angry with Victor Emmanuel as Mazzini. In deed he is equally displeased with the French Go vernment for not sending an army to Rome much earlier than it did. The count, however, is pleased to believe that there is no essential difference in principle between France and Italy. I yesterday briefly noticed the spectacle out of doors on occasion of the opening of the Legislative Session. The crowd in the environs of the Louvre was immense, greater, perhaps, than on any similar ceremony of the kinl. The Ambassadors, Cardi nals, Ministers, and other great personages arrived by the Rue de Rivoli, and entered the Court of the Palace of the Louvre by the gate opposite to the Rue de Marengo. There wai an uninterrupted suc cession of splendid carriages for a long time. Places were reserved fur the Officers of State, the Ambas sadors, and their wives. The Empress left the Palace in a carriage drawn by two horses, the National Guard being formed in line to the right, and the Imperial Guard to the left. Her Majesty was received, on her entrance, by the Princess Mathilde and the Princess Lucien Bonaparte. She proceeded to the Tribune to the right of the Throne, preceded by the officers on duty, and followed by the Princesses, the Ladies of Honour, the Officers of the Household, and the Emperor's Aida-de-Camp. The reception of the Empress was cordial and enthusiastic in the extreme. A salute of 21 guns announced the departure of the Emperor and the Imperial Prince, who were received on their arrival in Galerie Francaise by Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Lucien Murat, Prince Lucieu Bonaparte, Prince Joachim Murat, and Prince Napoleon Charles Bonaparte. The whole assembly greeted them with warm and earnest acclamations. The Emperor immediately took his place upon the Throne, and the Grand Master of the Cere monies, by the Emperor's order, then said, " Gentle men, be seated." The Speech was several times interrupted by cries of " Vive l'Empereur ! Vive le Prince Imperial." The Minister of State, having received the direc tion of the Emperor, requested the members of the Legislative Body who had been elected since the close of the Session to take the oaths to the Emperor. The following Deputies took the oaths accordingly : Viscount Cornudet, M. Dessaignes, Baron de Four ment, and M. Geliot. This proceeding being con cluded, the Minister of State declared, in the name of the Emperor, that the Session was opened. The Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince then retired amidst the prolonged and hearty acclama tions of all. This was probably the last time that the ceremony of opening the Session of the Chambers will take place in the Salle des Etats of the Louvre, as the splendid new building in the centre of the Carrousel, so long iu course of construction, will be finished by the opening of the next Session. The Emperor will then be able to walk from the Tuileries to the Salle, where the Session will be opened, and the building, where the ceremony took place yesterday, will again be devoted to the Museum of Painting of the Louvre. The Siecle cavils a little at some of the points of the Speech, but it has given satisfaction to almost all the other journals ; and go where you will in Paris you hear expressions of approval of it, and the most favourable auguries are drawn from it as to the couAnuance and consolidation of peace. The Figaro has a correspondent at Rome, who sends as authentic au account of a conversation be tween the Pope and Captain Marambat, of the 59th Regiment of the Line. The Pope, after having visited the wounded of his own troops, the French, and Garibaldians, said to the captain—" You have in the French army a new plaything, which it ap pears produced marvellous effects upon the field of battle. My soldiers were much less solidly armed, and the great loss among theta no doubt arises from that circums'anc:. Give ISI3 some explanation about this Chassepot gun." The captain, although wounded, and still suffering great pain, sent for some of his soldiers, and gave them orders to take his gun and exhibit all its capabilities to the Holy Father. '1 he most productive month of the year for the theatres during the Exhibition was the List - . During that mouth the total receipts wero no less than 2,875,919 f. 19c. So that great intellectual compe tition gave an impetus not only to art, manufacture, science, and industry, but to the drama. An ingenious swindler has managed to obtain 200 f. in this way :—A well-dressed gentleman went to a cafe in the Faubourg St. Mirtin, and address ing the proprietress at the counter, asked her if she would have the goodness to take charge of 200 f., which he expected a commissionaire would bring to him at her establishment. The lady of course was ready to oblige a customer, who ordered a glass of Madeira. He sipped and sipped for some time, and then pretended to be impatient. At last the commis- THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENUS66,, NOVEMBER 20, 1967. sionaire appeared, and going straight to the counter, Presented the 200 f. to the lady, saying he came by appointment to give the money to a gentleman who had sent for it, and who would come and claim it. The customer got up immediately. A recognition tooklplace between him and the commissionaire, and a liberal recompence was made to the latter for his trouble. The swindler paid for his Madeira and left without delay. In the evening the lady's hus band, who is occupied elsewhere during the day, came home, aud, somewhat angry, asked his wife what was the "pressing emergency" which had induced her to send to one of the persons with whom he dealt rather largely for 2001., explaining, as her reason, that her husband had inadvertently taken the key of the cash-box, and that she had an immediate payment to make, and could not wait till his return. Explanation en sued, from which it was discovered that it was the swindler who had sent the letter requesting the person to whom it was addressed to send a com missionaire,with 200 f. in an envelope, to be given to the proprietress of the cafe, at the counter, without any remark, the lady promising that her husband would call upon the gentleman to explain about it. This ingenious device is said to have been carried into operation in a great many instances of late. Another nocturnal attack, of a more serious cha racter than the previous one, is mentioned. Tho clerk of a brewer of St. Germain, who is in the habit of bringing home money to his employer, has been murdered at Quarante Sous, which leads across the forest from St. Germain to Poissy. At nine o'clock in the evening the cook of a rich pro prietor at Mesnil, between St. Germain and Mai son, was attacked by several ruffians, who left him for dead, after robbing him of 180 f., which he had been to receive for his master. The injuries re ceived by the unfortunate man are so serious that he is not expected to recover. The Commissary of Police, of St. Germain, has taken what is supposed to be his dying declaration. THE EXECUTION OF THE FENIANS A 7 MANCHESTER. - -0--- Yesterday morning a meeting of the Salford magistrates was held in the Town Hall to consider what steps should be taken to preserve the peace on the occasion of the execution of the condemned convicts, on Saturday morning. The Mayor of Salford (11. D. Pocbin, Esq.) presided. A corres pondence has taken place between the authorities of the borough, the military officer in command of the district, and the Home Secretary. From this correspondence it will be seen that the duty of pre serving the peace is primarily thrown upon the local authorities. If they should be unable to pre vent a riot or disturbance, or if any attack should . be made upon the civil forces, the military may be called to assist. It was arranged yesterday morning to swear in one thousand special constables, and summonses for that purpose will at once be issued The special constables will be employed in aid of the borough police, who will also have tho assistance of the city police force, and a detachment of the county constabulary. Subjoined is the correspondence referred to : " Sir,—l have the honour to forward to you the enclosed copy of a letter from the Home Office, by which you will preceive that Mr. Hardy concurs in opinion with Major-General Sir J. Garvock that it is the duty of the civil power to prepare a civil force to carry out the due administration of the law in the case of the convicts now awaiting execu tion in the New Bailey Prison, Salford.—l have the honour to be &c., " J. W. REYNOLDS, Colonel, " Assistant Adjutant- General. "To the Worshipful the Mayor of Salford." The following is the letter referred to : " Immediate. " Whitehall, 18th November, 1867. " I have just laid before Mr. Secretary Hardy your letter (herewith returned) from Major-General Sir J. Garvock, respecting the arrangements neces sary to be made for the preservation of the peace on the occasion of the execution of the Fenian prisoners at Manchester on the 23rd instant ; and I sin ,to acquaint yoq, for the information of the Fiad-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, that in the opinion of Mr. hardy the entire arrangement of the military force should be left to the military authorities ; and that it is the duty of the civil power to prepare a civil force to carry out the due administration of the law. "If extraordinary means are used against the civil force, or if it is in danger of being overpowered, the military will no doubt be so placed as to afford instant assistance.—l have the honour to be, &c., " ADOLPHUS LIDDELL. " To Lieutenant• General Foster, K. H." Emigration to Canada• (Front the Canadian News, Nov. 14, 1867.) Recently at the School-rooms of Esher, a place in Surrey, the Rev. Stewart Williams in the chair, a lecture on emigration to Canada —being the first of a series to be given in different parts of the country was delivered by Mr. W. F. Lynn to a crowded and attentive audience. Mr. Lynn commenced by comparing the relative advantages of home and colonial life, pointing out that a labourer in Canada secured higher wages than in England, whilst ho paid little more than half for the necessaries of life —that he was able to obtain work as soon almost as he set foot in the country—that he might easily accumulate savings, which he had the additional advantage of being able to lay out in the purchase of land, to be bought at prices ranging from as low as 2s. an acre, and thus raise his social status by becoming a substantial farmer, owning the land he cultivated, a position he had little chance of filling in his native country, where the price paid for one acre would be sufficient to render him the possessor of 100 acres in Canada, liable to no taxes, save a small municipal rat e , the whole of which is expended on the making of roads and improvements in the township where he resides, and not forming a part of the Imperial revenue, as in England ; that there were no poor rates there, and the tax-gatherer was altogether unknown. Mr. Lynn then, after alluding to the free grants which it is the intention of the Canadian Govern ment to offer to settlers in the ensuing year, and to ccmpanies such as the Canadian Laud and Emi gration Company, who offer farming land of the best quality at the price of 43. an acre, with many - - facilities in the mode of payment which tend to smooth the settler's way, gave a vivid description of the country—its splendid climate, mines, gold dig gings, and other resources, illustrated by specimens of minerals collected out there by himself. The lecture was enlivened by anecdotes of personal ad ventures, and the lecturer concluded by showing, with the aid of some large and well executed pictures, the different stages of the settler's life in clearing and cultivating his land. _ Mr. Lynn, iu the course of his lecture, proved his various statements by reading extracts from the official reports of the chief agent for emigra tion (Mr. Buchanan), and from the letters of seve ral settlers.iu various parts of the country ; ho also referred to his own experience in Canada West of the beauty of the climate, stating that the general impression as to the severity of the cold was au ex aggerated one, there being only tares mouths of actual winter weather, to which period the Cana dians look forward as their season of recreation, it being passed in one continuous round of gaiety and amusement. At the termination, the Rev. Mr. Williams pro posed a vote of thanks to Mr. Lynn, which was warmly seconded by a gentleman in the room, who, announcing himself as a Canadian, thanked Mr. Lynn for the eulogies he had pasw.l upon his coun try, but declared that he had fallen far short in his description of the actual beauties which exist and the advantages to be attained by emigrants of both sexes who select this province for their future home.

The Italian papers admit the importance of the speech of the Emperor Napoleon. The Nazione says that the Emperor has touched upon the phases of the recent troubles with much delicacy, and adds that it sees with satisfaction that the Emperor has declared that France considers that the convention of the 15th September exists as long as it is not replaced by a new international act. It considers that it is absolutely necessary that the Roman provinces should be left to themselves, and that the intervention should promptly terminate. The Opinione says that Italy can but be satisfied to see confirmed in the Imperial speech the judg ment expressed by the European Powers. It re gards the Emperor as the first statesman of France. The Diritto declares that the Imperial speech considered in the point of view of French interests, is dictated with much delicacy and happiness ideas. The Gazetta &Italia approves the speech. It says that it has produced a favourable impression, and that it skilfully touches upon all questions both home and foreign. The Italia is of the opinion that there is nothing in the speech to create alarm, and if Italy does not find in it any immediate satisfaction of her hopes, she also does not find anything in it to discourage them. Railway communication between Florence, Rome, Naples, via Foligno, will be open on the 21st inst. An official decree names the localities which the Minister of War will fix upon for the active divi sions of troops which may be mobilised. ROME, Nov. 19.

In paving the way for the introduction of Offen bach to our lyric boards the Oxford management have had no small share, and it is remarkable that with such examples before them as the operatic se lections from "66" and " Orphee aux d'Enfers" our musical entrepreneurs should so long have de layed making the vivacious French composer a household word among us. Offenbach, in his " Duchess of Gerolstein," at Covent Garden Theatre, is rapidly becoming naturalised in this coun try ; but hearty as may be the enjoyment which that stage production may produce, it cannot exceed that which nightly accompanies the present representation of the coin poser's "Orphee" at the Oxford. The great " cou,let" scene creates Tfite a furore. Since we last noticed the performances here, the Brothers and Sisters Kiralfy, the Hungarian dancers (now five in number), have re-appeared in some of their national dances, which are executed with grace and wonderful abandun. Ilaydu's facetious " Toy Symphony" also offers a pleasant variation to more classical music. In days when "Hungarian" princes had more spare time on their hands than they have now, Haydn, for the amusement of Prince Esterhazy, com pounded a symphony out of toy whistles, trumpets, and cuckoos. The symphony is given with due comic gravity by the Oxford band. Indeed, the pilloried look of the bashful instrumentalists, as they go through their nursery performances, is intensely amusing. This symphony would do finely for some gala day at Hanwell or Colney Hatch ; but it is likewise au agreeable rattle to those of her Majesty's subjects who are in full possession of their faculties. Naval and Military Intelligence. Capt. E. B. Pritchard, Lieut. E. A. Ford, and a detachment of five non-commissioned officers, one drummer, and 102 privates of the Chatham division of Royal Marines have been placed under orders for service on board the screw steamship Trafalgar, Capt. E. K. Barnard. Yesterday an order was issued by Sir Richard Mayne, directing the members of the metropolitan police doing duty at Chatham dockyard and at the military stations to be in future armed with cutlasses " until further orders." The order also directs that the police " in lonely or exposed situations are to patrol in sight of each other." For some time past the police at Chatham dockyard have been instructed in the sword drill, in which they have attained great proficiency. His Netherlands Majesty's twin sere A turret-ship Prins Hendrik, 4 guns, 2,100 tons, 400-horse power, Capt. Jansen, left Spithead yesterday under steam for Plymouth Sound, Cherbourg, and Brest. On Saturday last Capt. Jansen and his officers were entertained at dinner by the Netherlands Consul, the Chevalier Vandenbergh, at his residence, Holland-house, Southsea. On Monday Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley entertained a large party to dinner at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth Dockyard, to meet Capt. Jansen and his officers. During the stay of the Prins Hendrik at Spithead every facility was afforded to her officers by the authorities of the port for visiting the shipping and various matters of interest in the port and dockyard. A naval court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Monday for the trial of prisoners. The court was composed of Capt. F. B. P. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-de-Catnp to the Queen, President ; Capts. W. C. Chamber lain, G. Hancock, A. W. A. Hood, C. 8., and H. Phelps, and Mr. E. Hoskins, officiating Judge-Ad _ _ - - vocate. Mr. B. D. Sanders, carpenter of the second class, Royal Navy, serving on board her Majesty's screw troopship Simoom, was arraigned on charges of "drunkenness on the 31st of August last" and "absence from the ship without leave on the sth of September." The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced by the Court to be dis missed from her Majesty's ship Simoom, to be placed at the bottom of the list of the second-class carpen ters of the navy, and to be severely reprimanded. Mr. Thos. B. Kerr, a boatswain of the second class, Royal Navy, serving on board the Simoom, was next arraigned before the Court on charges of drunken ness on July 21, 1867, and on August 30 following ordering bottles of spirits to be passed into his cabin from the shore without the permission of the officer commanding theSimoom at the time, and afterwards denying the fact. The Court found the charges proved, and sentenced tha prisoner to lose three years' seniority, to be dismissed from the Simoom, and to be severely reprimanded. 'The Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs at Rio Janeiro has conveyed the thanks of the Imperial Government to Lieut.-Com. J. B. Michell, lately commanding her Majesty's gun vessel Doterel, for his conduct in saving the Brazilian steam transport Larrego when on the point of sinking off the island of St. Catherine's. The Larrego had a large number of sick and wounded soldiers on board, and the ser• vice was performed under circumstances of p.tculiar difficulty and danger. The permission of her Ma- jesty's Government has also been asked by the Bra zilian Government to present Lieut. Michell with a magnificent chronometer in acknowledgment of his services in saving the Larrego and her living freight. The gun that burst in one of the turrets of the Wivern, at Birkenhead, was a 10-in. 12f-ton smooth ' bore. Practice was being made with a spherical shot and 301 b. powder charges at a target 1,500 yards distant, when the breech of the left-hand gun in the after turret was blown clean away from the tube, struck the buffer on the side of the turret, and fell on the floor between the rears of the two guns. The breech just grazed the legs of the man acting as cap tain of the turret, but no one was really hurt, the ex plosion, although happening at the wrong end of the gun, occurring above the level of the men's heads in the turret with the exception of the " captain." The Lords have taken fright at the accident, and given orders that no firing shall be made at present from the Wivern's smoothbores. The Dutch are exhibiting to us in the Channel a turret-ship perfectly armed with rifled 12k-ton guns, mounted on magnificent iron carriages and slides. We have spent thousands upon thousands of pounds sterling on " committees" and their interminable experiments, but the British navy .• has no turret-ship with an armament equal to that of the Prins Hendrik, nor her equal in turret equip ment, from the carriages and slides down to the minutest portion of the gear and fittings. The " battle of the guns," about which so much has been written, has been of no advantage as yet to the few turret-ships of our navy. The Blonde, screw steamer, commanded by Capt. H. Catinur, left the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, yes terday morning for Alexandria, with stores, for the English hospital at Suez. This is the second voyage the Blonde has made to Port Said. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Tuesday. Under the heading of " The Issue," the Evening Mail prints the following remarks in its leading columns :—" The prisoners sentenced at Green street stoutly maintained their belligerent position to the last. They denied in terms that their con duct involved guilt. They were, they said, Ameri can citizens, devoted to Ireland as the place of their birth, but owing no allegiance to England, and therefore guilty of no crime in making war upon her. The issue, in fact, lay between America and England. ' They looked to another place and another people to see justice done.' If America did not resent England's conduct, then 13 millions of Irishmen in America became slaves.' If the Go vernment do not now understand the ' situation they cannot blame the Fenians for want of frankness in explaining it. The generals, colonels, and cap tains they have been prosecuting are avowedly the staff of a foreign army, claiming the rights of war. If these rights be not granted to them, Warren, Halpin, and Costello tell them plainly enough that 13 millions of Irishmen in America will know the reason why. To this defiance from the dock we find added a like defiance from the press, on the part of at least four millions of Irishmen living in Ireland, ' unanimous,' says the Cork Examiner, in sympathy with the Fenians.' We shall see whether the British Government will join in the issue thus boldly and plainly put. The blow is aimed at the heart ; if it be not stoutly met it will do its work. To yield before threats of force is to acknowledge its power and to invite its exercise." On Sunday the detective police made two arrests in this city which they regard as important. In Blackhall-place they captured a young man named Feely, and in Lurgan-street a man named M'Garry. Both the prisoners were transmitted under the Lord Lieutenant's warrant to Kilmainhana Gaol. Two men were brought before the magistrates in this city yesterday and charged with making use of seditious language. They had been shouting, " Hurrah for the Manchester Fenians," and, when arrested, kicked the police. The magistrates re manded them, that inquiries might be instituted re gar:ling their antecedents. in the Court of Queen's Beach yester lay cou nse l moved, on the part of " Colonel" Nagle, who is confined iu Kilmainhata Gaol on a charge of trea son-felony, that the infortaltion and depositions sworn in the case, and also an affidavit sworn by the prisoner himself, should be returned into Court by the Clerk of the Crown, to enable an application to be made for admitting the prisoner to bail pending his trial at the Sligo Assizes. Counsel moved on au affidavit made by Mr. J. T. Scallan, the prisoner's attorney. Mr. Justice George granted the application. An action for slander of a most important cha racter is, it is stated, pending, in which a Roman Catholic clergyman in Belfast is plaintiff, and the editor of a Belfast newspaper defendant. Damages are laid at £5,000. Sergeant Kelly, from «hose body the bullet has been at last extracted, is now progressing very favourably, and great hopes arc entertained of his speedy recovery. s k i a - - I'l'lll4 OYU 1.

Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise and the Countess of Flanders, drove out this nlor u ' ing in a carriage and four. ROYAL OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. The production of Offenbach's celebrated operatie, extravaganza, the " Grand Duchess of Gerolstem, has resulted in a complete success, a circumstance that was fully to b e ex p ec t e d, w h en the light yet highly effective musi c , th e h umour o f the plot, the dresses, the splendid scenery, a nd 0 ' reputation of each of the artists selected to sub: tam the prominent parts, were for one women t taken into consideration. Another matter that made success almost certain was the f ac t that th e _ opera had been p er f orme d at many t h ea t re s abroa d, at each of whi c h it s recept i on was 111°: enthusiastic.

A Prince named Paul is therefore selected for her husband, as a harmless diversion for ner mind but he fails to m a k e a n i m pression, a nd the Countess declares war with a neighbouring state as a form of amusement. The Ductless' in reviewing her troops, is arres t e d b y th e sight 0f Fritz, a strapping young private, to whose sweet heart, Wanda, General Boom has taken a fa nel. Urged by a feeling for which she cannot ac count, the Duchess promotes Fritz to the suc cessive grades of corporal, sergeant, lieutena nt ' and captain in the space of a few loin iltes ' and when in the last capacity h e con demns as ab surd the plans of General Boom, and is put down with the remark that no one save a command in g officer and a noble is entitled to a voice in the Cotol cil, the Gr a nd Duch ess a t once promo tes him- to a generalship, makes him a baron, and declares her commander-in-chief, the portentousplume beluga removed from the h ea d o f th e enra ged and astounded General B oom t o a d orn t h e bat °f the ex-private Fritz. General Fritz return 3 victorious from the field, and is graciously re ceived by the Grand Duchess, who then makes l e " to him, but the young warrior's affections are on movably fixed upon Wanda. Boom, Puck, a nd , Paul conspire against his life, and they are joi ned by the Grand Duchess herself, whom his love for Wanda has infuriated with jealousy. The stra o g o story ends with the marria g e of Wanda a nd Fritz, who is precipitated downwa r ds through be whole series of military grades till he once m ere finds himself a private, while the Duchess decla re ? her readiness to accept Prince Paul for a husband' The part of the Grand Duchess introduces M l ' s Julia Mathews to the metropolitan stage, and /ve ,, cannot refrain from at once congra t u l a ting i"" , young lady on her arrival in London.

The music allotted to the character is not of a very taxing nature, so lie get 0 through it evenly and well. Mr. Anesley makes a good pompous General Boom, and 3 " . i. Stoyle infuses humour and spirit into the part °f Prince Paul. The translation of the original i nto English has been effected by Mr. Charles Dem me very well indeed, but it wou ld no t h ave detract e at all from the work had he discarded some 0f the original words, which don e i n t o E ng li s h bee ° , vulgarisms. The opera has b e e n beautifa bf , put upon the stage, and doubtless will attract 01 ' houses until Mr. Russell, the spirited lessee, pro duces his Christmas pantomine. I How Our Meat Supply is Wasted• Just now, when the price of butchers' meat is 3 question of such serious importance, attention may e very properly be directed to one most fruitful so ur % of disease among cattle ; we refer to the niod e which they are conveyed from one part of ,111, country to another. As a simple question of humanity the matter w an t s l oo ki n g into, t ai l its results are not less important in an econein ica point of view.

This fact is shown v er ' , strikingly in an appendix to a report published IV Mr. M'Call, Principal of the Glasgow Veterinary College, on the structu re an d con diti on o f the dia ries t and cattle-sheds within the police bounds of . 01 , city. The appendix shows that the actual and dire .73 loss in money value from rinderpest last ye ar Glasgow, when summed up, amounts to X ,8,91 as 10s. ; the amount realised from sale of carcases W £2,050 18s. 4cl. ; and the number of beasts returned 3r having died and been buried was 416. On the ntb t e o hand, the loss from "puerperal fever" amoun ts £7,021 Os., from pleuro-pueumonia £54,67 7, 311 0 from murrain £7,314.
