Ay ."',O, A.,4' P, 4' '.;r:o-,-,,,_,,-- LONDON, TVEDNESDAY, NO V. 27, 1867 The debate on the Abyssinian Expedition has proved fully as interesting as was expected, and its result has done credit to the judgment of the House of Commons. Of course it was not to be supposed that there would be no dissentients in the matter, and hence the speeches of Mr. LOWE and others may be taken as matters of course. We may fairly state that the Ministers have acquitted them selves creditably in this arduous affair, and deserve the support of the House and the confidence of the country in the prosecution of their scheme. It is, indeed, one of those cases which do not admit of doubt to all who are not prejudiced, and how any Minister of the Crown could reconcile himself to a contrary course seems quite unaccountable. It is all very well for those who merely undertake the part of critics to be vehement in their strictures on the policy which dictated the whole course of the proceedings, but if these were suddenly vested with authority, and found themselves responsible to the Parlia ment and the public for the maintenance of the honour of the country, we suspect that they would be sorely puzzled to improve the plan just sub mitted to the House by the occupants of the Trea sury benches and opposed by Mr. GLADSTONE. One of the chief details which threatened to impede the progress of affairs in this autumnal session in the opinion of some has then disappeared, and the House of Lords is certain to follow the example of the other branch of the Legislature, and pass a unanimous vote on the subject. Those who wish to inform themselves on this topic more particularly than they have yet done would do well to consult the speeches of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord STANLEY, which contain excellent infor mation on all the most important points connected with the interesting question. Lord STANLEY'S was the speech of the evening, and met with the general approval of the House. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer moved that a sum not exceeding £2000,000 be granted to her MAJESTY for defraying the expenses of the Abyssinian Expedition beyond the ordinary expenses of the year 1867. The right honourable gentleman wisely avoided touch ing upon points of controversy as much as possible, and confined his remarks to the principal points. He said very justly that we might enter tain hopes for the settlement of the matter without the necessity of having recourse to the " further horrors" of war, when once Abyssinia had been in vaded by disciplined troops, and such extensive pre parations had been made. Although Mr. DISRAELI called the estimates " rough," he assured the committee that they were not careless ones, for they had been submitted to all possible criticism, and to the jue:grnent of experienced men. Hence they offered them to the House with no slight confidence in their accuracy. There was great truth in the observa tions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer concerning the manner in which different passages of certain speeches can be taken and made to appear very different from the impression the speaker originally intended to convey. A great deal of "ingenious criticism" has been, as he says, expended upon Lord STANLEY'S speech of last July about this question ; but in reality the noble lord merely expressed him self with that reserve which becomes a Minister speaking on a critical matter, and at the same time he announced the possibility of things turning out very much as they have done. Mr. LOWE, as usual, had some crotchet, and the one last night was that the Government should not have commenced this war without giving notice to Parliament. Although, he confessed, that now it was impossible to refuse the money asked for, he demanded explanations and endeavoured to cast discredit on the whole affair. It is really a relief to peruse the speech of Lord STANLEY after dwell ing upon the inflated remarks of Mr. LOWE. The noble lord said that he had a difficult task before him in putting before the House a plain un varnished statement of facts, in place of the " re markable display of ingenuity just exhibited to them." "I rely, however," emphatically remarked he, " with confidence upon the strength of the case, and the often-proved justice of the House and an impartial public opinion out of doors." We feel convinced that these will not disappoint the expec tations of the noble lord, and he can well afford to disregard the factious replies of prejudiced critics. Nothing can possibly be more plain and straightforward than the concluding re marks of the noble lord ; they completely indicate the course pursued by the Government, and show that it was the right one to take consistent with their public duty, and with their reputation as statesmen desirous to serve the interests of the country ; and although the policy announced in the Speech from the Throne was determined upon four or five days from the end of the Ses sion, of what avail would it have been to have announced it then to the House ? As Lord STANLEY said, there were only about sixty or seventy members left in town then, and those who had gone had gone upon the distinct understanding that nothing was to be done but to wind up the formal business of the session. Three courses were open to the Ministers to take—they must have put off all action for fifteen months, they must have pledged the House in form by the vote of one-tenth of its members, or commit them selves, intending to obtain a ratification of their proceeding's so soon as practicable. "He thought the first weak, the second unfair, and the last the only one open to our adoption. What have we done? We have incurred expenses; but no more, we believe, than were necessary. We have done this because we knew that to postpone these expenses was to delay the rescue of the pri soners for a year, and because we believed that hat was a feeling which England would not tole- We have called the House together, in order rate. that its judgment might be formally taken on what we have done, and on what we are doing. From that judgment we shall not shrink, and even if it be adverse, which we cannot contemplate, I for one should not feel less convinced that, so far as the weakness of human judgment allows, we have in this painful and difficult matter done neither more nor less than our duty." We have quoted this passage because it is an important one, and it is desirable that due attention should be paid to the position ha - which the Government were placed. THE SUN, LONDON' WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1867 Some have been very active in spying out what flaws they could in the matter, forgetting in the excess of their indiscriminate zeal that they were treating the honour of the country and the safety of the prisoners in a secon dary point of view compared with the attainment of party objects. Surely, however, there are topics, and plenty to spare, upon which criticism can be ex pendcd without seeking to distort facts in a matter of so much public interest and importance. These are, however, but exceptions, and the Government will be supported by the approval of the public in their spirited endeavours to vindicate the dignity of the Crown and to protect its subjects from insult and from danger. The American Congress and the English Parlia ment have almost simultaneously assembled in extra session. In the States we may hope that the course of their labours will be more productive of public good and more conducive to the real inte rests of the nation than has been the case during the last two or three years. The change wbich has passed over the face of American politics since the disperson of the members is significant and remark able. Tried by the test of the annual elections the strength and popularity of the Radical party have crumbled into dust, and their long de pressed and disheartened opponents find them selves suddenly restored to their fair share of influence and authority. The estimated result of the various elections shows a marvellous result. The Republican majority of last year reached the enormous number of 382,835. This year it is calculated at 38,196, or less than one-tenthl Had it not been for the strict registry laws in West Virginia, Missouri, and Tennessee, it is believed in deed that the relations between the parties would have been actually reversed, and the De rnocrats would have gained a majority of 150,000. By those laws, however, as we know, large numbers of Democrats were kept from voting. The rapidity and suddenness of this change has com pletely taken the Radicals by surprise, and their journals cannot help admitting their defeat. The New York Tribune, which belongs to the extreme Radicals, in discussing the chances of the different parties with regard to the coming Presidential con test, confesses that it does not think " much com fort remains for any political party that cannot carry New York and Pennsylvania." The Demo cratic majorities in the late elections in New York and Pennsylvania have been respectively 49,000 and 927, and the Democrats declare at the present mo ment that they have a majority of as many thousands in Pennsylvania as they had hundreds a few months since, so strongly is the tide of public feeling setting iu in their direction. When once the spell of Radical ascendancy was broken the change was easy enough, for the Radicals had not a single claim to public confidence. When the Northern people began to examine the effect of their theories when put into practice, they found that they meant negro supremacy and the destruction of the national credit'. The disorganisation of the South, though it produced disastrous effects upon the national prosperity, could not modify the cruel intolerance of the Radical leaders. Very lately Mr. WADE has declared that Con gress will never modify the Reconstruction Laws, but will make them harder if the South does not behave better. What the South ought to do he is careful not to say. The chief fault of the Southern whites of late has been their hopeless sur render of all effort to ameliorate their own con dition. The harshness and inconsistency with which they have been treated by the dominant power has produced a not unnatural effect in discouraging and disheartening the people, who felt it was vain to look for help or consideration from the part:, who loudly maintained the doctrine of confiscation and military law. The North erners are beginning to ask why they should support a system which would entail upon them the maintenance of a large standing army in the South for no other earthly reason than the undue elevation of the negro. It is not surprising, when we consider the main features of Radical policy— the desolation of the Southern States, and conse quent sacrifice of its commercial products, the supre macy of the negro, the lavish expenditure of public funds and the repudiation by inches of the national obligations, the substitution of military for civil law throughout a large proportion of the country— that the collective good sense of the people should have unmistakeably pronounced against it. The Democrats rejoice in the elections, and are confident that they are every day gaining strength. The Presidential contest will no longer be a mere Radical nomination, for the issue of it depends very greatly on the New York and Pennsylvania votes. Each State is entitled to as many electors for the Presidency as it has members in Congress, and every voter votes for all the electors, so that the majority is certain to save the whole electoral votes. New York has 33 votes and Pennsylvania 26, while the other States have usually less than a dozen. Ohio is the only one over 20, and it is ranked at present among the doubtful States. The highest number of electors in any purely Republican State is in Illinois, which boasts 16, but this is not half the New York figure. General GRANT is the hero of the day. By a singular coincidence, while his election seems almost certain, it is doubtful to which party he really belongs. He is too wise or too cautious to commit himself, notwithstanding the eager appeals to him to declare his policy. Some of the extreme members of the Republican party are disgusted with this reticence. WADE announced his conviction that GRANT ought not to be nominated ; and the Tribune, which is the organ of the party, considers that such Republicans as nominate the General as their candidate are hoist ing a signal of distress. One of the strangest signs of the times is the splitting up of the Radicals into factions, which abuse and sus pect each other with full party zeal and bit terness. Discord is always significant of weakness, and whatever chance they had of improving their position is likely to be thrown away by thorough disorganisation. No one who wishes well to either North or South will regret their fall ; it is only a matter of rejoicing that it has occurred before they have further complicated the affairs of the nation. THE DRAMA IN THE PROVINCES.—The experiment of testing the merits of a new pi...co before a provin cial audience, with a view of ascertaining its defects, and of making it quite worthy to bo submitted to the critical judgment of the metropolis, has been agai❑ attempted at Liverpool, a town which has of late taken a great stride in theatrical matters. On Monday night a now domestic drama, something in the "Porter's Knot" style, was played for the first time at the Boy.' Alexandra Theatre, with Mr. Toole in the principal character. It is by Mr. Byron, and is entitled "Dearer than Life." The Liverpool jour nals describe the production as a great success. At times the audience heartily relished the efforts of Mr. Toole, whose appearance in the first act was the signal for enthu siastic cheering. He was brought out after every act. FIVE FRUIT CLIPPERS LOST.—Every autumn a small fleet of fruit clippers leave the ports of Devonshire and other southern counties for St. Michael's, where they take in cargoes of oranges. They are, however, frequentiy overtaken by the fierce equinoctial gales which sweep the Atlantic, and every year several aro lost. Yesterday a telegram received at Liverpool reported the sudden wreck of no less than five of these fruit clippers, all belonging to Brixham and Salcombe. No mention is made in the tele gram of the crews, and it is to be hoped that they were all on shore at the time engaged in packing and sorting the cargoes. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM Olin OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The Moniteur announces that King Louis the Second of Bavaria has just appointed as Minister at Paris Count de Quadt-Wickradt-Isny, who has for some time represented Bavaria at Brussels. The app intment is in the room of Baron de Pergiass, who will now fulfil the same functions at the Court of Prussia. The nomination will entail several other diplomatic changes. M. de Segmund is appointed Minister at Rome. Count de Horn pesch leaves Florence for Rome, where he will be replaced by M. de Baumgarten. Baron de Reigers berg will succeed Count de Quadt at Brussels. The Baron's position at the Legation at Stuttgard will be occupied by Baron de Gesser, previously con nected with the Legation at Berlin. I am informed that other diplomatic changes will shortly be made public in the Moniteur. A double crime has been perpetrated at the Pres bytery of St. Ismaer, in the department of the Isere, the motive for which is at present quite in explicable. Two ruffians entered the Presbytery at night, one armed with a hatchet and the other with a bar of iron, and prcceeded to the bedroom of Madame Jacquenet, the mother of the curate, au old lady of 70. They struck her on the head and neck with such violence that it is astonishing death did not ensue immediately. It is almost impossible that she can survive. The curate hearing the noise rushed from the bedroom to his mother's assistance, and was met in the passage by the assassins, who precipitated themselves upon him. The curate being a powerful man defended himself, but he re ceived a violent blow on the head with a hatchet. Tho wretches in their flight were heard to say, "'We have done for him." The curate's wounds are dangerous, but not mortal. The police have not yet been able to find the assassins. A lady named Dantin, has just died at Pau, in the Lower Pyrenees, who, was up Nards of a huu- dred years of age. Last week a large case arrived at St. Cloud, ad dressed to the Empress. It was found to contain one of the most magnificent pianos in the world, the manufacture of a celebrated piano-maker at Vienna, a masterpiece of art. It is of rosewood, but gilt and ornamented in the most elaborate and tasteful manner. The lock is described as a mar vellous specimen of the locksmith's art. The initials of the Empress and the Emperor of Austria are splendidly worked upon the front of the piano. There happened to be present with her Majesty the Countess de la Tour d'Auvergne, Viscountess de Viry, and Prince Poniatowski, all excellent musi cians. A trial of the instrument was made at once, and it was found that its tone is as splendid as its exterior. This piano is a present from the I!4'mperor of Austria. Poets are allowed to let their imagination rol uto " fine phrenzy," and they are not called into strict account if they give a little twisting and turning to the facts and incidents they describe. It is the same seemingly with dramatists. At all events, Messieurs Cremieux and Cormon, the manu- facturers of the libretto of Offenbach's new opera, " Robinson Crusoe," have a little changed the eventful career of that well-known youth. Here is the mode in which it is displayed in this opera. Robinson's father, who is tolerably well off in the world, wishes his son to become a lawyer, but Robinson is sailor struck, and is determined to face the charms of " the sea, the sea, the open sea." His cousin, a very fine young girl, like the rich mer chant's daughter of the song, loves him, and wants him to stay at home, marry, and get settled, but he declines the proposal in a song, or rather ;here is a beautiful love duet between the two, ptesaging Robinson's departure. So finishes the first act, and Robinson embarks. The second act transports us to Robinson's island, where things take place never dreamt of by Defoe. Crusoe finds on the first day of his arrival that the savages are fond of eating men and women, and he sees the preparations for a dinner composed of a young husband and wife who, like himself, have taken refuge on the island. Worse than all, the savages soon bring in a young girl, who is destined to serve for a dinner more than usually delicious. Horror ! the young girl proves to be his cousin, to whom he ought to have been married. She, how ever, is sated by Robinson's man Friday, whose revolver produces magical effects upon the savages, and the young husband and wife who were to have been eaten remain to love. The music of this opera is light, original, and pleasing. In operas people do things which are not usual in other cases. For in stance, at the very moment when the young couple are in expectation of being boiled,stewed, or roasted, they sing a duet, and even the savages are pleased with the " concord of sweet sounds." As to the audience, they were enraptured, and they wanted boiling. Robin- Madame Galli s the on ,s son g a n ag F a r i i n d a w y h i i l s e t p h e e rs i o )o n t a t N e v d as by Marie with extreme finesse, courage, and presence of mind. Of course Robinson and his cousin get married before the business of the opera is over. It seems likely that it will prove what is called a great success, albeit for a comic opera very un pleasant things loom in the distance at the com mencement; for instance, when it appeared evident that the savages had made up their minds not only to cook their goose, but their visitors. The weather continues excessively cold, but dry and agreeable for the season. It is what Shakspere describes as " frosty, but kindly." The meeting of the Congress may now be consi dered as an " accomplished fact," or rather as a fact which will soon be accomplished. The only difficulty seems to be as to the place of meeting, but Munich is mentioned as the most probable, should Bavaria consent to take part in it. A despatch has been received in Paris from Florence, stating that Messrs. Crispi and Manchini, chosen by Garibaldi to defend him, have made a formal application to the Italian Government claim ing his immediate and unconditional release. One of the grounds of the application is that a deputy cannot be arrested or placed upon trial for any alleged offence whatever, without the consent of Parliameu t. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

SERVIA. BELGRADE, Nov. 26. The Servian armaments have assumed a more scrim; character. The artillery organisation in especial is being pushed on with the utmost despatch. The services of foreig❑ artillery officers are now accepted by the Government. ST. GEORGE'S OPERA HOUSE. We understand that Mr. German Reed has taken the St. George's Hall, Langham-place, in order to carry out his design of establishing in the metro polis a comic opera, derived both from native and foreign sources. We are glad the task has fallen into such able hands, for the experience of the public taste and requirements through many years, both as composer and performer, will enable him to select materials calculated to ensure success. Efficiency in all the branches of such an undertaking we are now, for the first time, likely to attain ; and we only hope it will furnish a strong proof that the cause of failure heretofore was to be found, not in a distaste or apathy for English composition, but in a lack of means or ability in bringing together good musicians, able authors, and clever artistes. Our advance in musical knowledge, in fact, has been so rapid and universal that audiences have become highly appreciative of merit, while defects are no longer tolerated. _ The St. G;..orge's llall is undergoing the necessary alterations, in the construction of private boxes, and the enlargement of the stage for the produc tion of opera and extravaganza. Au undertaking like this interests all classes ; and it has been in timated to us that the prices of admission will be within the range of the poorest amateur. As au earnest of good intention a new operatic extravaganza will be immediately announced, from the humorous pen of Mr. F. C. Burnand, whose works are " legion," and Mr. A. S. Sullivan, a young and rising composer, whose sparkling and melodious conceptions have already placed him in a high position. _ _ Our favourite place of resort, the Gallery of Illustration, will of course be unaffected by Mr. German Reed's connection with the St. George's Opera Ifoue. The present entertainment there, which is still running a prosperous career, will, we hear, be replaced by novelty before the present year runs out. FRANCE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 26.—The market for shipping yarns has been very quiet. Very little business has been done, and to make sales lower prices have had to be accepted. The excitement of the election has to some extent interfered with business. Home trade yarns have been slow of sale, with a slight conces sion in prices. Any offers making have been about -id. per lb. under what sellers would take, but some of the offers have been for large quantities at that decline. The cloth market has shown little change since last report. Buyers have been indisposed to operate, and the purchases have been on the smallest possible scale. There is no material reduction in the value of goods, but the tendency of prices for this week past has been in favour of the buyers. To day we observe the same indisposition to purchase, although some few buyers are making offers for 811 b shirtings and other goods for India, such offers, however, being on too low a scale to admit of accept ance. The market to-day has been inactive and business limited. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. re port :—" We have no change to report in the gene ral aspect of our market since last Tuesday. To-day buyers continue to act with caution, and the ten dency of prices is perhaps in their favour; but the offers made are too low to lead to much business." CARDIFF, Nov. 25.—The steam coal trade con tinues to exhibit signs of considerable vitality, and during the past week the demand for the Eastern markets has been good, owing to the requirements of the Abyssinian expedition. The shipments to Aden, Bombay, Singapore, Madras, Point de Galle, and one or two other ports in that quarter, are rather above last year, and freights are compara tively firm. From some of the West India stations the inquiries are not so numerous as they were a week or ten days ago; but owing to the disastrous hurricane at St. Thomas coal is being sent out there to replace the large quantity destroyed. From the Mediterranean markets there is a fair average demand. House coal proprietors are not over busy, and the collieries cannot be said to be in anything like full employ. Coasting houses are scarcely making the purchases they did at the corresponding period of 1866, and the local consumption has not increased to the extent anticipated. The iron trade is in just the same position as last week, and there is no animation whatever evinced in the demand from any quarter. Eor tin plates the inquiry has slackened, and quotations have a downward tendency. LEEDS, 26th.—There has been no change of im portance in the character of the business done in the cloth halls this morning. Merchants and other buyers continue to operate with great caution, and the aggregate amount of cloth which has changed hands to-day has been rather below than above a late average. The weather is open and-compara tively warm, which tends to keep winter goods in the hands of both drapers and tailors, and also has the effect of checking even straggling orders for such goods in the wholesale markets. The demand for spring goods is but very slowly developing, and altogether the woollen manufacture of this town and district is far from being brisk. Prices arc much the same as last noted. ROCHDALE, 25th.—The flannel trade keeps rather dull, but manufacturers are moderately well em ployed. There was only a small attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and their purchases were confined to small parcels. Prices were in most instances fully as high as of late, but a slight con cession was made in some of the larger purchases. '1 here is no change in the demand for Yorkshire goods, which keep in modarate request, without any material change in prices. The local wool trade is quiet, manufacturers purchasing little beyond their immediate wants. Prices are slightly lower. L'aval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, Nov. 22.-ller Majesty's ship Are thusa, 35, Capt. R. Coote, which left Malta with a clean bill of health, did not receive pratique on arrival at the Pirmus for 15 days after the last death from cholera reported by the Greek Consul, and was sent round to Salamis Bay to pass her quaran tine, receiving pratique on the 7th inst. The anchorage of the Pirus was full of ships of war of different nations. The French had several ships there and the Admiral had not yet been changed. The weather was very unsettled, with variable tempera ture, and some heavy rain had fallen. The master of the English screw steamer Gosforth, which arrived here on the 19th inst. on her way from Kertch to Falmouth, reported having met in the vicinity of the Doro passage, on the 9th inst., a polacca brig, with sails and yards adrift, and apparently with no one on board. By letters since received from Constanti nople we learn that the crew had been taken off the wreck by the English screw steamer Edith, which vessel, after a vain endeavour to tow her into a place of safety, was compelled to abandon her owing to the increased violence of the gale. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Poonah, on her last voyage from England, lost her surgeon, Dr. H. Y. Chapman, two days after leaving Southampton. He went to dinner at 4 o'clock as usual, and, com plaining of a slight pain, retired to his cabin, where he was found dead shortly afterwards, sitting in his chair. Deceased was the oldest surgeon in the com pany's service. Mr. Ozzard, paymaster of the Prince Consort, has ban invalided, and Mr. Lively, assist.- paymaster of the Minotaur, flagship of Admiral Warden, has been appointed as acting-paymaster in his place. Her Majesty's ship Endymion, 21, Capt. C. Wake, has just entered Malta harbour, from Marseilles. The prevailing distress, owing principally to the long drought, is causing much anxiety, and a Commission bas been appointed by his Excellency the Governor to inquire and report on the subject. Some of the neighbouring countries are even worse off than ourselves. In Tunis there is almost a famine in the land, and the last lei ters speak of six or seven persons dying daily from starvation. Our agent and Consul-General, Mr. Wood, C. 8., had returned to his post. The finan cial state of the Regency continues in a most de plorable condition. By direction of the Secretary of State for War, a committee of officers of the Royal Engineers --con sisting of Colonel Simmons, C. 8., Director of the Royal Engineer establishment, president; Lieut.- Col. 11. Wray, instructor in architectural drawing ; Lieut.-Col. A. A'C. Fisher, C. 8., instructor in sur veying; Col. W. 0. Lennox, C. 8., V.C., instructor in field fortification ; Brigade-Major R. Harrison, and Capt. R. H. Stotherd, instructor in telegraphy— has been sitting for some time past at the Royal Engi neer Establishment, Chatham, for the purpose of in vestigating and reporting upon the merits of va rious descriptions of gabions submitted to the Go vernment for general use in the service for field for tification. During the competitive trials which were made with the various descriptions of gabions, the committee examined and reported upon gabions in vented by Capt. Tyler, Royal Engineers ; Capt. F. Smith, Royal Engineers ; Quartermaster Jones, Royal Engineers; and Mr. Newton, C.E. The chief points of comparison to which the committee were required to direct their attention were cost, weight, arrangement for transport, stability, and durability, with any special merits possessed by either of the gabions invented. The merits of the sheet-iron gabion invented by Capt. Tyler consist in its being light and durable, while each gabion can be made in two minutes, while the disadvantages attending its use are that it makes a great noise when carried and when filled, with a want of stiffness, the report stating that it is " unfitted for sapping." The wire netting gabions invented by Capt. Smith and Mr. New ton were both found to be very light, durable, and portable, and each could be put together in a few minutes, the defects of each being their unstea diness and loss of shape while being filled, the re port describing them as " totally unfit for flying and other saps." In the gabion of Mr. Newton the wire netting was lined with felt. The iron band gabion, the invention of Quartermaster Jones, was found to be light, portable, durable, and very stiff, while each could be made by a couple of men in five minutes, au additional merit of this description of gabion being that the galvanised iron bands can be utilise] for the formation of flying bridges and for nume rous other purposes. The chief desideratum in a good gabion, in addition to the ordinary advan tages of durability, portability, and cheapness, is that it should possess rigidity of form when put together, or when being filled it becomes dis torted, gives way to slight pressure, and becomes useless as a support to large masses of earth. All the above conditions were found to be fulfilled in the gabion invented by Quartermaster Jones, and the committee accordingly unanimously re ported that it was in all respects the best for siege works and for general purposes. The hoop-iron ga bion, known in the service as the Sebastopol gabion, was also reported upon by the committee, its only merits being that it was strong and durable, while its defects consisted in its being " very heavy, and taking three men an hour and a half to make one." The only other gabion brought under the notice of the committee was the ordinary service one of brush wood, which, although possessing great strength, has the fatal defects of being heavy and requiring three men three hours to make one. Lieut.-Col. Menzies, belonging to the Woolwich Division, has been granted oue mouth's additional leave of absence to recruit his health. Capt. Kenni cott, also of the Woolwich division, has been granted one months' leave. Tenders have been sent in to the Admiralty by a number of private shipbuilding firms for the supply of an iron screw steamer, to be employed in Chatham harbour, in connection with the works for the en largement of the dockyard. 111ARKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. The fresh arrivals of home-grown wheat from Essex and Kent have only been moderate, and the quantity of samples on offer was generally inferior. There was very little inquiry for any description, and to have effected sales lower prices must have been submitted to. _ _ There was a good show of foreign wheat on the stands, but the demand was most inactive, and nearly the whole remained unsold at a late hour. The quotations, however, were without quotable change. Barley met a slow sale, at Monday's reduced currency. Very little business was concluded in any kind of pro duce afloat, and both wheat and barley, on passage, were rather easier. Malt was very dull, and drooping in price. Oats were plentiful, and good sound corn moved off slowly, at the late reduction iu values. Beans were in little request at Monday's currency. Linseed and rapeseed were inactive, and prices were only nominal. Clove seed and trefoils were without change. In cakes there was very little doing. No alteration took place in the value of any kind of flour, but the trade ruled extremely heavy. ARIIITALS TFIIS WIII. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER. MANcuEsTER, Tuesday'. Mr. Jacob Bright has been returned by . 3 triumphant majority over the numbers polled bti both his opponents.

Mr. Bright had a m a jority a 7 ° d at 9 o'clock, and this majority was steadily increas e up to the close of the poll.

Mr. Bright only polled 5,5 65 votes at the last election, while Mr. James pone' 6,712, Mr. Bazley 7,919, and Mr. Heywood 4,229. The following were the numbers at the close ° f poll : Bright Bennett Henry DESTRUCTITE FIRE. Last evening, about five o'clock, an alarming fi re occurred in the extensive goods depot of the Londo n and North Western Railway, situated in the Ural road, Camden-town, and in the near neighbourh ooa of the Camden-station, on the company's main li ue l ; The building forms fo ur s id es o f a l arge squ are, "W it a spacious court-yard in the centre roofed with glass, and is connected with the railway by siding 3 on t he one hand, and al so w ith th e R egent ' s C ana l on t i ` i3 other. The fire is supposed to have originated is part of the structure used as offices, and in "sv hi ,% the books and pap ers re l a ti ng t o th e b us i ne ss of goods depot were kept. It speedily broke out a blaze, the reflection of which was visible all °re the metropolis for more than an h our , and wh ich soon attracted the attention both of the men °o duty at the head-quarters of the Fire Brigade jt, Watling-street, city, and at those of the L° 11(1°o Salvage Corps, close by.
