It seems now to be settled that Parliament shall meet in November, and the nineteenth is said to be the day fixed upon for that purpose. If this should prove a correct statement, we have no doubt that the Government has wisely con sidered the matter, and that they have good reasons for the course they have determined upon. The Abyssinian Expedition is pointed at as the reason of its assembling, but perhaps there are other and weighty reasons as well, although they do not suggest themselves at once to the mind. If Parliament has to meet it will be unfor tunate on some accounts. In the first place, it seems but lately to have separated after the labours of a protracted session, and the members who worked so hard will naturally be a little disap pointed at having to resume their tasks again so soon. It must be remembered also that an unusual degree of bitterness was infused into the debates, on account of the vexed question of Reform being dis cussed with such vehemence and under such awkward circumstances. The House as a body feels naturally disturbed and unsettled because of the changes that are imminent, and a premature meeting will add to the inconveniences in some respects unavoidable. However, it is need less to say that all other considerations must give way to the important question of the public interest, and if that is involved in the matter there will be no alternative but to submit with as good a grace as possible. It has been said that the DERBY Ministry would shrink from an autumn session, because of its having proved so untoward to them on a former oc casion. It is worth while, however, to consider how differently they are situated now to what they were before, and in how much better a position they are placed before the house and the country. In 1852 they were stemming an adverse tide of circumstances, which then proved to much for them, but which they have since surmounted. They were then a sort of autocrats in the political world, they now lead the strongest and most united party i►, the land, and have just succeeded in passing a measure which to equal in interest and importance we must go back a generation to find a parallel. At that time there was a variety of leaders on the Opposition► benches, who started up like so many Richinonds to perplex and bewilder their opponents. It is more difficult to show one with a good follow ing, so divided and confused are their interests and objects. It must be seen that the Government of 1867 is very much stronger and more assured than that of 1852, and if our autumn session brings the Ministers to town, it will bring them back fresh from the glories of Manchester and Edinburgh, where great things are now awaiting them. Although, as we have observed, it would be more desirable for things to take their ordinary course, still an earlier assembling of Parliament than usual need not inspire doubts or suggest difficulties. The Whigs, as a rule, were not fond of autumn sessions, but it would have been better for thtir own credit and the good of the country if they had been more willing to endure the infliction. Had Parliament been summoned two years ago the Jamaica affair would have been settled in a far more satisfactory manner, and the country would not lie under the stigma of having done injustice to a valued servant of the Crown, and stifled inquiry until it was too late to do any good. It will remain for the mem bers of the House of Commons in particular to make the best use of their time, and to deliberate in such a manner that the best interests of the country may be served, while they consult their own dignity in abstaining from these fights of faction, at all times undesirable, but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, quite uncalled for and most inappro priate. All French friends have really a just cause fo: complaint at the state' of uncertainty in which they are kept, and as mouth after month goes by, and finds them in the same dilemma, it is indeed most perplexing and disheartening for them. The truth is that there are two influences at work—the one represented by steady, sober-minded folks, who care little for external causes of disquietude, and wish to develope the resources of the country to th. ,best advantage ; and the other representing tht indignation experienced by the generality of thk people at the turn continental politics have take', of late years. It remains to be seen which will b( in the ascendant at list, but the chances certain],,, incline to the preponderance of the latter. Thost who kno AT anything of the French character wili not think it likely that they will settle down quiescence after so stormy a period, without assert ing their rights and vindicating their claim to supremacy. The celebrated Circular Note of Bis- MARK did a great deal to foster the angry feelings already only too deeply evoked ; an I it may bi said, without exaggeration, that ever sine(' that time more and more disquietude has been felt in those circles and communities most ME SUN, 140.N;;ON, THURSDAY EVEMING, OCTOBER. 10, 1867. likely ti ) be well informed as to the state of things and tilt changes in the political horizon. Military men have all along considered that war is inevitable, and must be looked upon as a question of time and their opinion seems in a great measure con.firmed by the course pursued by the authorities. That anxiously-expected announcement in the could do. No sooner had the judgment on the pro secution against the picketers • been given, and the law clearly laid down, than the strike was virtually at an end. lithe tailors were free to employ whom they liked, neither public meetings, nor placirds, nor any peaceable and legal means would hinder men and women from accepting the " good wages and regular work " that were steadily offered to them. Last year, just at the very crisis of distress and destitution at the East of London, the shipwrights refused to consent to a temporary abatement of their regular wages of Gs. 6d. a-day, evidently adopting the converse of the old adage that " Half a loaf is better then no bread." The consequence of. their obstinancy was that the orders went abroad, and while English workmen were staring idly at empty grates conti nental workmen were thriving on less wages than they Lad refused. If our other trades persist in the same course the same result will follow, and they had better learn in time that coercion and monopoly are only local in their influence, however severe the local loss and suffering which they may entail. .21/oniteur has not been made, and thus those who have been congratulating themselves upon the approaching reassurance at least are quite perplexed and puzzled as to what is looming in the distance. This opinion, which has gained some power in England, does not rest upon a very solid foundation, but, sad to say, must be traced back, to the sanguine rumours set afloat by those whose interests declare against a war, and, at at any risk, are anxious to preserve peace. W ar like preparations are still going on, and there is the fact of all this talk of quiet being restored. One thing is very certain, namely, that the Emperor NAPOLEON will not be diverted from his policy by any representations of tame-spirited people ; and hence it is his notion which must be sought after if we would read a solution of the problem. The French press do not seem inclined to give up the game, but pursue unceasingly the favourite topic, which would long ere' this have been worn threadbare if it had not been for the many causes of complaint that indignation and irritation have supplied. While we wish that things looked more promising it is quite idle to say that they are so while the aspect of affairs seems so threatening, and has been so for so long a period. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The news received in Paris to-day from Italy is scanty in extent and unimportant in complexion and character. There is even a cessation in the manufacture of sensation news, sending alleged successes of the insurgents. The attempt against the temporal power of the Pope is not, however, at an end ; and, indeed, there are brief but contradic tory accounts of a defeat of the Papal troops at Corese. It is quite clear, however, that as yet the insurrection does not progress either in extent or power. The Government augments its measures, with a view to support the execution of the treaty. The prefects have received orders to increase the watchfulness upon the frontier. Several squadrons of cavalry have been despatched to Orvieto to patrol that town and the surrounding locality. On th.., other hand more volunteers have been enrolled at Turin, Milan, and Florence, but there is a deficiency of arms ; and, upon the whole, the best-informed persons believe that an insurrection at Rome is out of the question, or that, shoull it be attempted, it must necessarily prove abortive. A self-called Committee of Public Safety has been formed at Civita Vecchia, who have issued a proclamation, telling the deluded Garibaldians that it will give them the signal when all shall be ready for action. Although there is some little excitement at Rome, there does not seem to be any foundation for the report that many Liberals of note had been arrested. Two squadrons of Light Horse, which had been in garrison at Rome, had left for the frontier, a fact which proves that no fear is entertained respecting that city. Among the various trade combinations and dis sensions which have of late been the subject of public discussion few have played a more prominent part than the, tailors' strike. Partly from the principal scene of its operations having been laid in the metropolis, partly from the inconvenience directly resulting from it pressing heavily on the public, the struggle has excited a good deal of at tention and interest. After seven months' duration it is now over, and like most of such struggles it has left behind it only bitter memories, loss on both sides, annoyance and mortification. Fortunately there are no records of outrage or disaster to mark the story of the London . strike, but that is perhaps as much due to the vigil ance of the police and to the superior principle of the men. However, the masters may well complain that they have lost the most profitable time of the year, while the men and their families can scarcely fail in the coming winter to feel the lack of seven months' wages. The victory, such as it is, remains with the masters. The men have surrendered their demands in tut°, at least such of them as have resumed their work. Others have refused to give in, and have emigrated or removed to other parts, being willing rather to bear the inevitable losses and hardships attendant on such a course to making the requisite concession. When we con sider the great distress existing in many trades from lack of employment and general depression, it is enough to arouse the strongest indignation to think of men wilfully throwing away good and regular wages which they had not long ago accepted as fair remuneration. It must be remembered that the men had not even the excuse of resisting a reduction of wages, or of demanding the increase of a con fessedly low rate of remuneration. Their wages were good—so good that they felt they could not base their claim upon them, and accord ingly they made it for a new " time log," by means of which they intended to increase their gains. It seems the masters at first did not suspect their object, and were willing to entertain the proposal, but when they discovered that the new " time log" was only an excuse for obtaining indirectly an increase of wages they not unnaturally resisted it. No doubt, as in most cases of this sort, there were faults on both sides. The disputants are too ready at the outset to proceed to the ultimatum, 'and when once there is an open breach neither likes to be the first to recede. The outsiders are drawn into the struggle, which becomes " an affair of honour" on both sides, and instead of a spirit of mutual goodwill and kindly forbearance, each party is busy measuring out the other's gains and his own losses. The public looking on think, justly enough, that between them both enough, and more than enough, is charged for the finished article, and object to the prospect that an increase of wages, entailing an increase of price, holds out to them. But the strike, picketing, and all are now over, and they are not without their lesson. The tailors of London are certainly not the least intelligent or least respect- Ible of daily workmen ; let us hope, therefore, hat they may profit by it. Whatever may be urged by th; defenders of Trades' Unions, As at present conducted, it i 3 manifeat that with the surrender of violence and intimidation their power is gone. In the present state of the labour market moral force is powerless. Men will always be forthcoming from the provinces, from the Continent, from America, eager to fill vacant places. The demand will be certain, sooner or later, to create the supply ; and if thousands com bine in inaction, capital will always be able to find its tens of thousands to come from far and near. No doubt the strike may, and generally does, entail heavy loss on the masters ; no doubt it is a work of time to obtain proficiency in the very simplest handicraft ; but what the men have to learn is that no trade ever yet collapsed for want of hands. Certain interests may be impoverished, and the great capitalists may remove from their vicinity ; individuals may fail in the struggle, but the many will succeed. All the while machinery, the potent foe to monopoly of any kind, is advancing with rapid strides, and ingenuity is ever on the watch to enlarge and adapt its capabilities. The world is too wide for the journeymen of any trade, be they ever so numerous. The law we may hope is too strong at this degree of civilisation to permit any section of the community to tyrannise over the rest. The men on strike disclaim any intention of exceeding the law, but no sooner were they compelled to keep within the limits of the law than their power ceased. " Picketing," that is to say putting guard over shops, and endeavouring to prevent their late employers from filling their places by intimidating the new hands, was a vital part of the programme. Combination, so far as it meant a certain number of men agreeing together not to work except on certain terms, no one could object to. It is quite clear that each man has a right to settle for himself what he shall do or not do with his own labour. It is equally clear to all unpreju diced observers that by parity of reasoning no man has a right over another man's labour. Yet the strikes, and the Trades' Unions, as they arc now carried on, mean nothing less than that a certain number of men should decide for all others in the trade without consulting them. What they will ❑ot themselves do no one else shall do. Their aeighbours are not to consider their own interests, but thote of the petty tyrants who, if we deprive them of le droll du plus fort, have no other claim upon forbearance. The Unionists find that inaction is no longer an all-powerful weapon unless they can compel the inaction of capital as well as of labour. The West-end tailors' shops at the beginning of the summer affordt.d a more powerful commentary on the real principles 04 strikes than any moralist The Emperor of Russia left the Crimea on Sun day for St. Petersburg, where his Majesty is expected about the middle of this month. The Assembly of the States of Wurtemberg is summoned to meet on the 13th inst. The Danish Parliament was opened on Monday, but without any speech from the throne. Prince Charles has convoked an extraordinary session of the Parliament of Roumania on the Gth No vember. Accounts from Mostar to the 30th of September give satisfactory news from the Herzegovine and the frontiers of Montenegro. The disappearance of the cholera had restored security to those provinces, and the daily relations of commerce and trade, which had been interrupted for some time in consequence of the alarm spread by that disorder, had been resumed under satisfactory circumstances throughout the whole extent of the frontiers of Montenegro between the inhabitants of the Black Mountains and the neighbouring Turkish districts. I have already mentioned the insurrectionary movements among the Koumirs, a mountain tribe of Tunis. The French Government has received an official telegram, announcing that Prince Sidi-el- Adel Bey had been arrested at the camp by his brother, Prince Sidi-Ali Bey, without resistance. A few platoons of soldiers were sufficient to effect this arrest, and the insurrection of these mountaineers is now suppressed. The weather has been exceedingly severe in the Eastern Pyrenees. A number of shepherds, whose flocks were grazing on the mountains of Dorres, were enveloped in a whirlwind of snow, and were precipitated against the rocks. An old man of 70, named Donnet, was unable to extricate himself, and was buried in the snow. He died in great agony in a few hours after being taken out. Many oxen and sheep perished. I am able to state that, by the direction of the Emperor himself, Baron Gauldree Boileau, Consul- General of France at New York, has purchased from the Government of the United States the formidable monitor to which the name of Dunderberg, was first given. It is now called the Rochambeau, and carries the French flag as a ship of war. The sum paid by the French Government for this vessel was 2,300,000 dollars. It is of a type so perfect that it has bee❑ called invulnerable. The Rochambeau is not exactly an ironclad vessel, or a monitor like the first of that class of the name built in . America, nor a rain, or a floating battery. It is, in fact, a regular fort built upon a pontoon, of which it occupies half the length and almost all the breadth. In short, it would prove what is called an ugly customer against any enemy. This vessel was purchased un =ed. The two immense cannon en board when it arrived at Cherbourg were the object of a second purchase, which was quite independent of the bargain made for the vessel. It made the passage from New York to Cherbourg in 14 days 17 hours. Amongst other advantages, therefore, it has the valuable quality of speed. The Rochanibeau, which is now in coursa of armament, will be ready for sea in a few days. There is yet another fatal gun accident. A day or two ago two friends, M. Vassac and M. Carrier, young men of 22, went out to shoot hares at St. Servin les Mailhow, near Albi. A hare suddenly started, when M. Vassac cried out, " Here is the hare." M. Carrier turned round suddenly in the direction pointed out, his blouse caught the trigger, and the charge entered M. Vassac's right shoulder. His friend in great consternation obtained assistance immediately, but the unfortunate - Sportsman died in two hours in the field, it not having been judged expedient to remove him. The nocturnal attacks in Paris increase in spite of the vigilance of the police. Late on Monday night a tradesman was proceeding along the boule vard Sebastopol when he was suddenly surrounded by about 15 men, who prevented him from moving. He attempted to defend himself, when he was struck with a knife, and his watch and his purse were speedily taken from him. His cries brought the police, who happily succeeded in arresting six o f these malefactors, who are supposed to belong to a numerous gang of garotters. One of them had his blouse stained with the blood from the wound of the victim, which is not of a dangerous character. Many similar outrages have taken place within the last few days. . _ Notwithstanding the speedily approaching time for the close of the Great Exhibition, a work of art has just arrived which is no doubt destined to be remarked as the most beautiful and artistic produc tion of all. I noticed it in passing through the French department to-day, and it attracted such crowds that I could not inspect it with the attention it de.ierves. I therefore reserve such a notice as it merits for another day. The Exhibition was well attended to-day, iu spite of the cold weather. As 1 am speaking upon the subject it is well to remark that one of the Paris papers, referring to my notice in The Sun, in which I made a comparison between French and English watches, with great impartiality admits the correctness of the comparison, and fully endorses the opinions I ventured t.) express in re gard to the novelty and usefulness of the crystal case watches exhibited by Mr. Walker. This journal admits that, in spite of the great advance made in watch manufacture in France, no French manufac turer has conceived the idea of fabricating watches of such a novel, peculiar, and useful description. These appreciations, simultaneously made in Eng land and France, have rendered Mr. Walker's watch- stand at the present time as much an object of LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. interest as any in the Exhibition. We still bear of the wonderful things which are to be done on the (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) 31st October, in order that the Exhibition may be closed even with more splendour and effect than it commenced. The Emperor and Empress will be in Paris on the occasion, and several Royal per sonages besides—the Paris gossips say our gracious queen. Naval and Military Intelligence.

B.—Flax.—An increased supply appeared in the various markets of the province during the past week. Coarse and medium qualities were more inquired after ; fine descriptions were eagerly bought up at advanced prices. Yarns.— The business transacted, though fair, did not reach so large an amount as did that of the preceding week. The principal demand has been from home manufacturers. Tows have not been in active re quest. Lines wefts 100 superfine changed hands freely ; the coarse numbers were not so much in quired after. Stocks in first hands are still com prised within a moderate compass. Prices continue to be stationary. Linens, brown, hand-loom.-- Demand fair for cambric handkerchiefs and light linens for bleaching : prices unchanged. Very little doilg in heavy linens or cloth for dyeing and hol lands. Power-loom.—A fair amount of business in roughs was transacted at low figures. Very little business doing iu printing lawns, cloth suitable for the foreign clothing trade, or drills. An increased amount of business was transacted in linen and cambric handkerchiefs. Bleached and finished linens. Demand limited on home account. Conti nental trade.—Demand devoid of all animation. Purchasers decline operating, anticipating that lower prices will prevail, consequent on recent re duction in prices of cotton. Stocks moderate. No change in prices.

Lombard B7O North of Spain Saragosen — Roman IRONMA ST ERS' QUARTERLY MEETING. --- WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday Evening. The last of the series of meetings of the iron masters of this district for the current year com menced in this town this afternoon. The attendance was of the most meagre description, and the cha racter of the assembly was quite on a par with it, in both respects the contrast being great indeed as compared with what the meetings in this town used to be a dozen years ago, and in a measure confirm ing the belief that the iron trade of South Stafford shire is on the eve of a gradual but inevitable decay. Late in the afternoon a few of the principal firms were represented. There was the same absence on the part of the London, Liverpool, and other ship ping houses. Scarcely any business was transacted, and if what took place in that particular is to be taken as the criterion of what is to be done at Birming ham on Thursday the present will be one of the quietest quarter days ever experienced in South Staffordshire. The fact is, everybody seems disposed to abstain as much as possible from entering into en gagements, and the more makers press sales the less disposed the buying class are to operate ; in such circumstances nothing is to be done but wait pa tiently until business comes round in a natural way. With respect to the shipping trade, so far as iron is concerned, it is getting too late for there to be any considerable improvement this year. There is a large specification for finished iron out through Government, which is believed to be ou account of a foreign Government—it is chiefly for bar and angle iron, but it is not very probable that it will come into South Staffordshire. It was mentioned to-day that there is a better de mand for pig iron, the make of this district ; it is to be feared, however, that this was the expression of a wish only, for some of the few pig -masters in this locality who can afford to blow out furnaces are said to be contemplating doing so, and they will not sell the stocks they have on hand at current prices. The general trade of this district is in a state of complete stagnation. CATTLE PLAGUE.—The return of the reported cases of cattle plague in Great Britain, published by authority of the Lords of the Privy Council, states that for the week ending the sth of October no case of cattle plague had been reported from any part of England, Wales, or Scotland. SEWING MACIIINES.—The following interesting statistics we gather from the quarterly returns made, we believe, under oath, by the several manufacturers of sewing machines thcpughout the United States. The figures which wo present, and which we have been at some pains to collect, show at a glance the wondferful growth and groat importance of this branch of American manufac tures. It will be observed that one company alone has pro duced and sold within the year over forty-three thousand machines. It is somewhat remarkable that during the recent stagnation in trade this business has been but slightly, if at all, affected. But below aro the figures in detail : SWING MACHINES MANUFACTURED AND SOLD, AS PER QUARTERLY RETURNS, FOR TILE YEAR ENDING JUNE 10, 1867.

THE QUEEN IN THE HIGHLANDS.—On the even ing of Saturday last, (writes the Braemar correspondent of the Scotsman) her Majesty and party drove from Balmoral, on the north side of the river Dee, ria Invercauld Ilouse. At a short distance bayond the royal visitors enjoyed a picnic, and shortly afterwards returned, via Invercauld, to the Highland palace. The evening was fine and dry, but extremely cold and chilly, with the mountains around shrouded in new snow almost to their bases. FUNERAL OF THE LATE SIR FREDERICK BRUCE. —On Monday the remains of the late Sir Frederick Bruce arrived at Dunfermline, in charge of the Hon. Thomas Bruce and Dean Stanley. The preparations at the vault below Dunfermline Abbey fur the reception of the body were all finished and completed on Tuesday afternoon. The place prepared for the reception of the body of Sir Frederick was exactly above the place where the remains of Thomas, the seventh Earl of Elgin, lio. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. TEE VOLUNTEER FORCE. The following communication relative to the recent volunteer display at Liverpool has been forwarded to us for publication : • WAP OFFICE, Oct. 8, 1867. _ Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir John Pakington to transmit to you a copy of a letter addressed to him by his Royal Highness the Field 'Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, and containing the expression of his Royal Highness's approval of the general appearance and efficiency of the Volunteer Force which was assembled at Liverpool on the sth inst., and of which the corps under your com mand formed a part.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE ERSKINE, Colonel. The Officer Commanding. KNOWSLEY, PRESCOT, Oct 7, 18G7. Sir,—l have great satisfaction in informing you that I inspected on Saturday at Sefton Park, near Liverpool, between 10,000 and 12,000 Volunteers, belonging chiefly to Lancashire and the adjacent counties, and that nothing could have been more satisfactory than the general appearance and effi ciency 'of the corps assembled. The battalions were strong in numbers, the marching was good, and the drill seemed all that could be wished. A very fine regiment of yeomanry, the Lancashire Hussars, under Sir Robert Gerard, was present on the occa sion and made a most creditable appearance, as did also a body of Lancashire Volunteer Cavalry. The batteries of field artillery were admirably horsed and well handled, and some heavy guns of position were well served during the operations of the day. The ground selected for the review was remark• ably good for the evolutions intended to be per formed, but unfortunately after the marching past the crowds of spectators broke through the bar riers, and thus greatly impeded the movements of the several corps. This is the more to be regretted, as a very good field-day had been planned by Major-Gen. Sir John Garvock, K.C.8., who was in command of the whole force on the ground, which had been divided into two attacking divisions under Brigadiers Sr Alexander Horsford and Brownrigg ; while the defending division was in charge of Major- General Renny. lam glad to be able to remark on the punctuality with which the several corps had reached their ground, which deserves my warmest commendation, as on other similar occasions I have been compelled to remark on the want of punc tuality in the arrival of volunteer corps. Nothing would more lead to the efficiency of the force than a strict attention to this point, as otherwise it too frequently happens that the day's intended evolu tions must be greatly curtailed from the want of time and daylight for carrying them out. Having been prevented from assembling com manding officers after the conclusion of the day's operations, as is my wont, in consequence of the dif ficulty of collecting them from the dense crowds sur rounding the corps and myself in every direction, am extremely anxious that my high appreciation of the merits of the several corps may be conveyed to them at as early a period as possible, and I should feel greatly obliged if you would direct Colonel Erskine to undertake this duty in my name. I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, yours, &c., GEORGE. The Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, &c. FEN lANISM.-V OL UN 7 EER ARMO URIES• The following circular from the War Office w issued last evening, addressed to commanding officers of volunteers : " War Office, Oct. 9, 1867. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir J. Faking` ton to inform you that, in consequence of the fre quent representations which have been made to hira respecting the insecure state of the armouries and magazines of volunteer corps, he deems it expedient to direct your attention to the following points :-- " It is necessary that a volunteer corps should be provided with an armoury of sufficient size to contain all its arms ; and it is the duty of the commanding officer to see that the armoury is kept at all times as safe against attack as circumstances will permit ; but if, with a view of increasing the security of the arms, he deems it advisable to give them into the custody of individual members, instead of keeping them collected in one place, he is at liberty to do so, on the condition, however, of their being periodically inspected, as prescribed in Article 147 of the Volunteer Regulations, and Volunteer Circular No. 27, and with the understanding that the adoption of this course will not affect his respon sibility to the Secretary of State for the arms which have been issued by the Government to the corps. " If circumstances arise which render it desirable that the arms of a corps should be returned into a Government store as a temporary measure of security, the commanding officer will represent the particulars of the case to the Secretary of State, who, if he considers it necessary, will authorise the arms being thus disposed of, either at once, or when , the commanding officer may deem it expedient. 11 , sanction be given for the removal of the arms, tb ° corps will be supplied by the War Department with arm-chests for the purpose. " Commanding officers will be careful not t ° demand at one time a greater quantity of practice ammunition than that which they are prepared to keep in safety until it shall have been expended. I have the honour to be Sir, your obedient servant, "EDWARD LUGARD• "To Commanding Officers of Volunteers." A MAGNIFICENT PHOTOGRAPH of the Victoria Tower, at Westminster, has just been produced by Mr. Stephen Ayling, of 493, Oxford-street—and it is certainly a masterpiece, which at once places bi ll/ t in the very front rank, and in one of the very fil l places of that front rank, among architectural photo' graphers.
