Thinquets seem to be the fashion now-a-days in all directions, and a most successful one has just been given in Belfast to celebrate the Congress which had assembled there. The entertainment was given in the Ulster Hall by Lord DuFstatN, its President, and a brilliant company assembled on the occasion. Referring to the manner in which the Lord Lieu tenant has cofiducted affairs, the noble lord paid him a high tribute, and declared that he had gained the esteem and confidence of all by his strict attention and courteous conduct. There is no doubt whatever that the time which has elapsed since Lord A B ERCORN's arrival in Ireland to perform the duties of Lord-Lieutenant has been a most critical one, and that he has been placed in a far more awkward position, and one more fraught with grave respon sibility, than any of his predecessors for long years past. The success which has attended his career fully justifies the encomiums passed upon him by Lord DuFFEISIN, when he said that his administra tion had been signalised by " great firmness, great humanity, perfect impartiality, and by great suc cess." The noble lord also alluded to the custom which prevails of abnegating " party spirit," in order that the welfare of Ireland may be the first object, and not the furtherance of the peculiar views to which the political associates of any Lord Lieutenant may belong. This habit has not been departed from by the distinguished indivi dual who now presides over affairs, and it is most fortunate that it should be so, for there never was an occasion which called for more firmness, skill, and judgment than the present state of Ireland. Mr. D UDLEY FIELD made a characteristic speech in pro posing the " Mayor and Corporation of Belfast." He said that those who were residents, and natives of the old school, could little tell what were the feelings of those who came to it from the west. Referring to the geographical position of Ireland, he remarked that of all the eastern continent Ireland was pressed the furthest towards the west-, and that it seemed thus as if Providence had brought these northern regions together on both sides in order that they might be inhabited by "kindred races," who should hold each other by the band. He added, i❑ pursuance of this theme, " Coming to your coasts, and seeing the rocks out in the sea lashed by the waves, I fancied almost that they were portions of the mountains that had slipped into the water on their way to America." Mr. DUDLEY FIELD con cluded his impressive remarks by the eloquent description of the beauties of the Emerald Isle, and gave as an illustration the expression with which the American Indian signified a place of great beauty— he called it a " smile of the Great Spirit ;" and he went on to say that since he had been there he had thought if one could have been lifted into the upper air, " far above the noise and dissonance of earth, and could have seen the whole of this bright island beneath him, with its multitudinous lakes, their faces of silver, and rivers of emerald, their large ranges of mountains, and girdling all the deep green sea, I would have been tempted to say--' This is a smile of the Great Spirit.' " Considerable amusement was caused by the re marks of the Bishop of Tuam in discoursing on the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science. He said he was glad that the members of the Congress had not neglected a great power which exercised much influence, besides those subjects which came under their immediate province. An illustrious statesman was once asked by a friend what argument he had better employ to convince a colleague with whom he had a difference, and the reply was, "Don't think of argument, but just ask him to dinner." The Secretary of the Association was happy in being able to comment upon the general success which had attended their efforts, and the meeting which has just been held in Belfast he declares to have been one of the best they ever had. Judge O'HAGAN'S observations are worthy of notice, as they refer to opinions that may have been shared by many respecting the merits of these meetings. He confessed that at one time he had thought that the Social Science Association was more or less a matter of talk ; that it was, in fact, a platform, on which people came to perform, with perhaps few results to show for that performance. He saw, however, that it was not so, for it brought together men of various classes and various opinions, and then it conferred a great good on society, and benefited the country in many ways. Sir JAMES SIMPSON'S speech was very entertaining, for he began by expressing his doubts as to whether such a meeting as that which called them together really promoted social health. After advising the people of Belfast to look to their sanitary state, which was anything but satisfactory, he cautioned them against quarrelling, which he found was pre valent, on the authority of an Irish coachbuilder, who assured him that the cause of the jaunting cars being made back to back was that an "Irish family could not be put face to face for a single day without their fighting." Altogether this assembly was a very successful one, and formed an appro priate finale to the visit of the Asssociation, which will long recall pleasant thoughts. The arrival of the Persia, from New York on the 18th inst., reports that the deadly enemy of the Southern States is playing havoc in several districts. In New Orleans the ravages of yellow fever con tinue unabated, as in parts of Texas, while among the most prominent victims at Galveston is General GRIFFIN, who was commanding the fifth military district until the arrival of General HANcocK. The temporary command of the district has been assumed by General MOWER, while General HANCOCK is expected to proceed to New Orleans. General GRIFFIN'S order, removing several judges from the Supreme Court of Texas, has been revoked by orders from Washington. Meantime there are symptoms of change in the balance of political parties. There can no longer be any question that the Democrats are gaining ground and the Radicals losing their hold on public favour. Many things have contributed to this result, which men of all parties are beginning to recognise. In some parts the extravagant legislation respecting the sale of intoxicating drinks, which is recommended by pro minent Radicals, has alienated their followers. In others the lavish expenditure which they have sanc tioned has incensed the commercial circle:. No one can pretend that they have brought the national affairs to a prosperous condition after an almost uninterrupted lease of power. Whatever the pre vailing origin of the growing popular discontent with Radicalism, the figures at the recent state elections leave no doubt that such is the case. Meantime another prominent question of the day is the influence of the Irish vote, not only on the coming elections, but on the national policy. Feniauisin has been holding high council, and it is understood that the Fenian Con gress resolved that the Fenian vote should be given for which ever Side would do most for Ireland. As we may fairly include tli. majority of VIM SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENINO, SEPTEMBER 28, 1867 the Irish Ye tes with these, the total will amount to half a ur - illion— certainly, in the present critical position of parties, a tempting bait for the leaders on citb er side. Perhaps those shrewd observers are not r wrong who find in this matter the explana tion. of Mr. SEWARD'S illogical and menacing de sp atclt of Aug. 27. The Alabama question has been al ways kept on the shelf ready to bring forward wlner& an excuse for a quarrel was wanted, and thou gh with gold at 143, as we learn by the. Cable, even Mr. SEWARD will think twice of tur g words into deeds, and threats into ships of war; hut he finds it serviceable as a rallying cry to sutryaion the Irish to his side. Happily Lord STANLEY is too temperate and too firm to be frightened from his propriety by the dark hints, the lofty indignation, and the wounded feelings of the American Minister. Ile knows that the American people have too much common sense and too large an experience to confound the Fenians with the Con federates, or to place in the same rank a body of professional agitators, to whom the contributions of servant girls is a matter of moment, and whose most formidable achievement has been the capture of a police van, on a level with the armies under LEE and JACKSON. Mr. SEWARD is determined to make the most of his case, and directs Mr. ADAMS, in calling Lord STANLEY'S attention to the subject, to " dwell upon some of its important features," which may not, he thinks, have sufficiently engaged the attention of the British Government. Accord ingly, presuming on Lord STANLEY'S insuffi cient acquaintance with a matter every detail of which every politician in both countries knows pretty well by heart, Mr. SEWARD goes back to the very commencement and starts with "In the beginning of the year 1861." However, he is perhaps right in thinking we in this country need additional information on the subject, since he presents it to our consideration under a new aspect. The mighty war upon which the atten tion of the whole civilised world was centred during four eventful years, the war whose gigantic battles brought back the recollection of the greatest crises of European history, had its origin in " a domestic dis turbance, which although it had severe peculiarities, yet was in fact only such a seditious insurrection as is incidental to national progress in every State." The point which Mr. SEWARD insists upon, and which is the real difficulty in the way of negotiation or arbitration in the matter is, that America has ground of complaint against England for having recognised the Confederates as belligerents. The answer to this has been so often repeated that Mr. SEWARD himself and every member of the Federal Government must be perfectly familiar with it. Lord STANLEY cannot acknowledge that the United States have a right to control the foreign policy of this country. No English Minister, no Minister of any country in Europe, could make such an admission. Whether or no the Southerners should be recognised as belligerents was a question which every State settled for itself, but the Federal Government itself narrowed the alternative into recognising them as such, or disregarding the blockade. Mr. SEWARD evades this part of the question, as he does:every other part which finds too ready an answer. He likes to keep to vague generalities, to high-sounding phrases, to mysterious innuendoes and allusions to Fenianism, anything that will do to keep the cor respondence going until the elections are over, and the Irish vote secured, when the Alabama claims may go by until the next opportunity. It will be a satisfaction to all who are interested in his career to learn that General GARIBALDI has been conveyed to Caprera. It is true that we are not told the particulars of the affair, but so far the intelligence that we receive is satisfactory. It bas given rise to great anxiety in many directions to think what would be done with the distinguished prisoner, and, although he is still in all probability ulider a sort of surveillance, he is comparatively free, and he is, moreover, at home again. Consider ing the rash venture in which he engaged, and the extreme temerity of his proceed ing, altogether there is great cause for rejoicing that nothing worse should have occurred between his departure, and return. Mortifying as the reflection of this affair will be to himself and his friends, still the general public will not forget all about it, and turn to other objects of more engross ing interest and greater importance. It might have been otherwise, however, and there might have been sad chronicles connected with the matter. It is extremely difficult to say what will be the future course pursued by GARIBALDI, as he has mixed himself up so much in this undertaking that it seems wellnigh useless to hope or expect that he will be persuaded to give up his efforts, and remain quiescent. Let us, however, hope for the best, and trust that the summary rebuff which he has met with may bring some wisdom to GARIBALDI'S thoughts, and impose a wholesome restraint on his impulsive followers. At any rate, bloodshed has been avoided, and with firmness and judgment the Italian Government may be able to maintain order without having recourse to violent measures. Surely sufficient has been learnt by past misfortunes to impress on the minds of all the importance of not rushing into foolish extremes. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The following news is from the bulletin of the Moniteur " The energetic measures which have led to the arrest of Garibaldi have been received with satisfac tion throughout the whole kingdom of Italy, and the news received from the provinces shows that there has not been any interruption to tranquillity. Some attempts to form a crowd were made yester day at Florence, but the assemblage was promptly dispersed. " An account of the new organisation of the pro vince of Schleswig-Holstein has been published. It is formed, with a few exceptions, upon the former Prussian Administration. The province is divided into twenty circles, each placed under the jurisdic tion of a sub-prefect. " The Queen of Prussia has left the Grand Duchy of Baden for Mayence, where the Prince Royal will go to meet her Majesty. " His Highness Prince Charles of Roumania pre sided on Sunday last at the solemn distribution of the flags to the National Guard of the Danubian Principalities. After the benediction of the insignia, and their distribution to each of the Legions, the Prince reviewed the troops and was enthusiastically cheered. _ _ "The Viceroy of Egypt arrived at Alexandria from Constantinople on the 16th inst., and was received with manifestations of respect and sympathy. During the reception of the Consuls, who came to offer their homage to the Viceroy, his Highness expressed his sincere gratitude for the favourable reception with which he had been meb in Europe. " A letter from Damascus states that the expedi tion sent by the Turkish troops against certain re volted tribes of the territory of Balka, an immense country situated to the south of Vilazet, has suc ceeded in re-establishing order and tranquillity in the country. "In consequence of the numerous submissions and the flight of the rebels, the representatives of the Turkish authority have proceeded to the ad ministrative reorganisation of the country, and to levy the taxes, an operation which has been effected without difficulty." The arrest of Garibaldi is founded upon the in terpretation given in a despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys, dated October 30, 1864, of the stipula tions contained in the treaty of last year. Here are the words used in the despatch—" Among the -, violent means which Italy is interdicted from em ploying may be enumerated revolutionary manoeuvres upon the Pontifical territory, as well as all incitement intended to produce insurrectionary movements." Should Garibaldi now refuse to re nounce his insurrectionary projects relative to Rome the Italian Ministry intend to convoke an extraordi nary meeting of the Chamber to deliberate upon the best courso to be adopted. A new warlike projectile of a formidable cha racter has been tried in the port of Calais. The peculiarity of this shell is that the exact distance at which it will explode is ascertained. That distance is 400 metres. Great interest is manifested just now by arclizeo logists, artists, and indeed casual visitors to Paris, in the inspection of the important works of restora tion in progress at the very ancient church of St. Denis, which had for origin the modest tomb of the first Bishop of Paris and the companions of his martyrdom. Already celebrated before the invasion of the Franks, the church erected by the faithful at the tomb of St. Denis, the magnificence of which was spoken of by Gregory de Tours, was recon structed, first by Sainte Genevieve, and afterwards, towards 630, by Dagobert, with still greater splen dour. In his time King Pepin undertook to rebuild the church of St. Denis, and spared no pains in the endeavour to surpass the work of the Merovingian Prince. Charlemagne finished the edifice, and con secrated it in 775. In the 12th century the church was entirely rebuilt by the Abbd Suger, but a great portion of the crypt of the Carlovingian period was preserved. It was, however, built in haste, and a century afterwards it seemed as if it would fall into ruins. Saint Louis, therefore, ordered a great por tion of it to be rebuilt. Formerly the cloister of St. Denis contained the bodies of all the Kings of France from the time of Dagobert. On the right of the passage to the sanctuary was the tomb of Dagobert, richly painted and gilt, and to the left that of two sons of Philippe le Bel. In the chapel of Notre Dame la Blanche was the tomb of the two daughters of King Charles the Fourth. All the tombs of the French kings which were not destroyed during the Revolution of 1793 are now to be seen in this church. The tombs of Louis the Twelfth, Francis the First, and Henry the Second are preserved exactly in their original state. Some of these monuments are very remarkable as evincing the state of art in the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. Visitors who come to Paris to see the Exhibition should not omit to inspect the artistic and archaeological riches presented in the ancient church of St. Denis, so intimately connected with important historical recollections. There is fre quent communication by rail, and plenty of vehicles also. The Memorial Diplontatique says :—" We have reason to believe that on Wednesday the Pope's Nuncio at Paris went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express to the Emperor, through the me dium of the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the sentiments of gratitude felt by his Holiness on occasion of the arrest of Garibaldi. The Pontifical Government acknowledges that the ex cellent measures adopted, with the view of frustrating the projected expedition against the Roman States, are duo to the influence of the Cabinet of the Tuileries." M. Frederic Thomas, the manager of the Epoque, and M. Arthur Arnoul, the editor of that paper, have appeared before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, charged with having inserted an article de famatory of the sergeants de vine or police officers. In this article it was stated, that of the 4,000 officers employed in the city of Paris 3,499 committed excesses against the peaceable citizens, and behaved with great brutality. The officers were also charged with insolence and violence, and general arbitrary conduct. The Tribunal decided that the defendants had committed an offence provided for by article 60 of the Penal Code, and condemned Terme to pay a fine of 200 f., and fined Arnoul 600 f., and ordered the defendants to pay the expenses. Frequent instances of robbery by night in Paris and the suburbs are mentioned by the papers. Some daring thieves have made several attacks upon the police officers, and in one case they robbed an officer of his watch and chain. The weather has been bright to-day, but a very cold wind still prevails. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JUAREZ. The following address of President Juarez is pub lished in the Mexican Standard of the 26th Aug. " Benito Juarez, Constitutional President of the United States of Mexico. lc T o my Fellow-Citizens,—Convening the people to exercise their sovereignty in the election of public officers to whom they may entrust their destinies, I have fulfilled my duty. And at the same time I inspired by conscience and have i d u discharged charged convictions, anothern duty,the eroposal I make to the people for the reform of certain points in the con stituthiyo n t . h i e n i r ofrrdeeer and that v s they er may resolve the ques tionega will. My adminis tration never had and never shall have any other rule of conduct than faithful respect for the national will. All the reforms made during my adminis tration have been to develope and improve the prin ciples of the constitution of the republic. Those proposed in the Convocatoria have no other and can have no other aim. The points there discussed are the sentiments of m y profound convictions. After mature meditation on the past, with the aid of the experience of some years in the government, and with the examples before me of our own history and that of other republics which, under their wise insti tutions, enjoy a permanent guarantee of liberty, a pledge of peace, and a source of greatnessand pros perity, I have ventured to propose them to the people. Nevertheless, there are those who pretend to censure the conduct of the Government ; and in order that my silence may not be misinterpreted. I have conceived it my duty to address my fellow citizens. Now that lam once more in the capital, I see, as I have before seen on similar occa sions, that there are those who assume to change the conduct and the policy of the Government ; but it is my duty to stand firmly by my resolution to do that which is right without being swayed by those who represent only the small minority and not the national will of the people. It is evident tbat those who make these pretensions are the few ; it is evident that they do not represent the opinion of the numerous party even in the capital. Ido not, therefore, deem it necessary to address myself to the inhabitants of this city, whose loyalty is already manifested by these facts. I address myself to the inhabitants of the States, where, by not being present to see what passel, public opinion may possibly be misled. I address myself to the States, in order that they may be able to judge correctly upon the facts, availing themselves of the lessons they have learnt from the experience of other times. It has been pretended that my opinions differ from those of the members of my Cabinet. The old members considered, when leav ing San Luis for the capital, that their duty to the country had been fulfilled, and desired to separate themselves from the Government. Now, again, they have offered their resignations, and those members of the Cabinet lately appointed have followed their example ; their object has been to leave me in full liberty of action. But I have not dee►ned it my duty to accept their resignations, because there has been no discord in . our opinions, and be cause I have the fullest confidence in their rectitude and their loyalty. My sole aspiration is faithfully to serve the interests of the people and honestly to respect the national will. To defend and sustain our institutions has ever been the application of the power vested in my hands. That I serve my country faithfully, and that I love liberty, is de monstrated by my public career. Mexicans ! it is your right to decide freely upon the reforms I have proposed to you. And soon it will be in your power to do so—when you elect the public officers who shall direct your destinies. I shall now simply repeat that it has been my sole object to propose to you that which I deem beneficial for your dearest interests, and these interests are, security for peace in the future and consolidation of our institutions. Happy indeed shall I be if before my death I am witness to their enduring consolidation.: (Signed) " BENITO JUALEZ. " Mexico, Aug. 22, 1867." LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. 1 Naval and (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

TRIESTE, Sept. 27. Intelligence received here from Hong Kong an nounces that the chief of the Mahometan rebels had declared himself emperor. The llankow Chamber of Commerce had publicly entered a protest against the restrictions recently imposed upon foreign trade by the Chinese. The Chinese Government are raising a loan of 1,000,000 taels, a portion of the amount to be employed in the purchase of rice in anticipation of a famine. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank had declared a dividend of 13 per cent. The advices from Japan stated that some twenty Christians and natives had been arrested and impri soned at Nagasaki on religious grounds. THE .ABISSINIAN CAPTIVES. TRIESTE, Sept. 27.

At that time they were all well. Rains had commenced. The latest dates from the King's camp at Debra Tabor were of the 11th of July. At that place there was heavy rain. All the captives were pretty well, and were being well treated. The King's conduct to them was cold and indifferent. The country round about was in a disturbed state. Direct communication between the King's camp and the coast was entirely cut off, and communications were sent via Magdala. There were no letters from the King. Attempt to Upset the Limited Mail near Wigan. Yesterday morning at the County Police-court, Nloor-halls, Wigan, Michael Flatly, a navvy, a stranger in the town, was charged with placing an obstruction on the London and North 'Western Railway, in the township of Ince, with intent to upset the limited mail. The charge was not gone into, as Inspector Peters, who had only taken the prisoner into custody at midnight, applied for a remand, which was granted. The offence, which was committed last Sunday evening, was of a most diabolical character, and it is satisfactory to know that the information in the possession of the police goes far to bring home the crime to the man in custody. Between 10 and 11 on the evening named Flatly and another man were rambling with a workman named Herne in the neighbourhood of the spot where the recent attempts were made to throw the down mail off the line, just outside the boundary of the borough of Wigan, when Flatly and his companion resolved to have a " - good jump," and with that intention they placed one of the heavy sleepers, which was lying in the road, across the up line, and then two others on the top of it at right angles to hold it in its place. Herne remonstrated with the men for com mitting so dastardly an act, and he removed the obstruction, but the fellows threatened him with personal violence if he interfered, and he left them, moving off in the direction of Wigan, as they were replacing the sleepers. lie had not gone far before he was overtaken by the prisoner, who informed him with glee that he had not only refixed the three, but added a fourth. All the men came on to Wigan, and Ilerno seized the first opportunity of writing a note to the station-master, in forming him that an obstruction had been placed on the line somewhere between Wigan and St. Helen's, information too vague to be acted upon, and received too late to prevent the passage of the limited mail over the dangerous spot, even had the precise locality been pointed out. Ever since the despatch of this duty. late outrages two men have been kept on the look out nightly at this part of the line, and it was not thought possible that any fresh attempt would be made. The up mail which passes through Wigan without stopping is due soon after half-past 11, and on Sunday night it appears to have passed about the usual time at full speed, and, happily, in safety, though how it escaped must have been next to mira culous. The following morning the person whose duty it is to inspect the line between Wigan and Spring's branch was unable to explain several indi cations which he met with, and it was not until they were led by the light of the letter received the previous evening that it was discovered how narrowly a ter rible accident had been escaped. About 150 yards on the south of the place where the engine was thrown off the rails a few months ago by miscreants not yet detected two sleepers were found lying in the up line parallel with the rails, while a short dis tance away was a third sleeper, one end of which had been chopped off, while at the other end was a mark which had evidently been made by the life guard placed in front of the wheels of the engine. The posi tion of the sleepers showed pretty plainly that the one which had been first placed on the rails bad fortunately been the first caught by the engine, which had driven it from its position before the firebox reached the couple placed on the top, and these dropped quietly to the ground harmless. Had they projected a little further it is believed nothing could have saved the train from destruction, as the collision with the fire-box would have thrown the engine off the rails at once. But Flatly mentioned to Herne that he had added a fourth sleeper to the others, and there were indications along the road that this had been carried for three-quarters of a mile in front of the engine until at Spring's Branch it had been caught by a wing rail, which splintered a piece from one end and threw it over so as to project into the six-foot, which was ploughed up a little for some 30 or 40 yards, and then luckily the engine threw aside the last of the ob struction. It is most remarkable that, so far as is known, neither engine-driver nor passengers appear to have been aware of any impediment to their progress. _ The police were promptly communicated with, and, having heard Herne's statement, they kept a sharp look out for Flatly, whom they succeeded in apprehending at midnight on Thursday. His as sistant in this diabolical " fun" has, it is believed, left the neighbourhood. Bath men have been em ployed for a short time in the construction of a dam at the works of the Wigan Coal and Iron Company. MR. POPE HENNESSY.—Mr. Pope Hennessy has left town for Labuan, via Marseilles, and will commence the duties of governor immediately on his arrival. Military In telligence. Her Majesty's screw sloop Danae (unarmoured), 1,287 tons, 350 horse power, recently launched from Portsmouth yard, left Portsmouth yesterday morning for a run under steam outside the Isle of Wight, on a preliminary trial of her machinery, which is from the manufactory of Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, of Glasgow. The Danae left the harbour at 9.30 a.m., drawing 10ft. 11in. of water forward, and 14ft. 2in. aft, the emersion of the upper edge of the upper screw blade being about 2ft. above the water. With the exception of being fully rigged with all spars aloft, the ship had nothing on board besides her engines and boilers, with the necessary quantity of coal to burn during the trial, and was consequently at her lightest immersion. The Spit buoy was passed at 9.45, with the engines making 80 revolutions, and 14 minutes later the \Varner lightEhip was left astern with the engines running over 84 revolutions, and the log line giving a speed to the ship of 11 knots. From the 'Warner light the ship was kept for the Bembridge ledge buoy and the back of the island. The buoy was passed at 10.15, with the engines working very smoothly at 86 revolutions, and thence her course was held across the edge of Sandown Bay, and past the bold headland of Dunnose, until the white tower of St. Catherine's lighthouse began looming up over Rocken End reefs, and closing with the ship as she steamed into Ventnor Roads, under 92 revolutions of her engines. The run thus far, if it had been short, bad been so thoroughly satisfac tory that the vessel's course was reversed to return to Spithead, where arrangements had been made for testing her anchors, cables, and capstans pre vious to her return into Portsmouth harbour. The engines ranged between 92 and 95 in their re volutions between Ventnor Roads and Spithead, where the Danac let go her anchor at 15 minutes past noon on the conclusion of her run, the engines having been working two and three-quarter hours without stopping, or any necessity arising for easing their speed for a moment. After having the work- ing of her capstans and ground tackle tested at Spit head, the Danae was yesterday afternoon again taken into Portsmouth harbour to proceed with her outfit. It is intended to give her the usual speed trial at light draught over the measured mile in Stokes Bay about Tuesday next. There was a very large amount of lateral vibration felt on board dur ing the time the vessel was under steam, and espe. cially in the after part of the ship. The light im mersion of the hull, the emersion of the upper edges of the screw blades, and the great amount of power undoubtedly exerted by the engines should satisfac torily account for any excess in this respect. The paddlewheel Admiralty steam yacht En chantress, 2, 250-horse power, Staff-Commander J. E. Petley, arrived at Chatham yesterday from Portsmouth, to be in attendance on the members of the Board of Admiralty, on the occasion of their approaching annual visit of inspection to the dock yard and other naval establishments at Chatham. The Miranda, one of the vessels attached to the sailing reserve at Chatham, originally ordered to be sold, is now directed to be retained in the service for the purpose of being fitted up for police quarters for the accommodation of the Metropolitan police doing duty at the works for the enlargement of Chatham Dockyard. With the exception of a few vessels retained for harbour service, most of the ships formerly composing the sailing reserve in Chatham and Sheerness harbours have been sold out of the service or broken up. A narty of Japanese now in this country paid a visit to Chatham Dockyard yesterday, by special permission of the Admiralty, and were conducted through the various establishments by the officials connected with the several departments. The new screw gunvessel Myrmidon, 4, 695 tons, 200 horse power (nominal), fitting in Chatbam har bour for commission, is ordered to receive a supply of Welsh coal in her bunkers, in readiness for making an official trial of her engines, fitted by Messrs. Humphries and Co., at the measured mile. A telegram has been received from Calcutta an nouncing the arrival of her Majesty's Indian troop ship J unina at that port. The three auxiliary screw hospital ships fitted out in the Victoria Docks—namely, the Mauritius, Queen of the South, and Golden Fleece—passed down the river for Greenhithe, where they shipped their am munition from Woolwich Arsenal, and thence pro ceeded to Gravesend, en route for their destination. They were laden with Maltese carts, shot, and shell, drugs, medical comforts, blankets, warm clothing, spirits in bountiful supply, mineral waters, biscuits, &c. ; a detachment of officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the hospital corps were likewise carried by these ships. Every available barge and vessel procurable at Woolwich was yesterday engaged in the transport of packing cases up the river to the Indian Stores at Lambeth, for packing the new pack-saddles. The masts of the War Department store vessel the Thames and others in that service were lowered and taken up to assist in the prompt The detachments of non-commissioned officers and sappers of the Royal Engineers under orders for service in Abyssinia, consisting of telegraphists, photographers, surveyors, and a party of the Royal Engineer Train, have been inspected at headquar ters. Chatham, previously to their departure, the order for which is daily expected at the Royal Engineer establishment. Lieut. J. I'. Nolan, sth Brigade, Royal Artillery, and Lieut. E. T. Chapman, E Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, instructors in gunnery, have been engaged for some days past at Shoeburyness in testing the efficiency and capabilities of the mountain guns destined for the Abyssinian service. They were assisted by 10 non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, who, together with the above-named offi cers, will accompany the two batteries to take charge, and instruct the Indian brigade, which are under orders to join, as to their use. The tests resembled as nearly as practicable actual warfare. The enemy was represented by a number of wooden men or targets, placed as skirmishers at various distances. The charges were the Boxer, Shrapnel, and common shot, with which the targets were completely riddled. Lieut. Nolan and the detachment of non-commis sioned officers yesterday assembled in the gun mount- ing park, in Woolwich Arsenal, and went through a series of drills with a couple of pack animals for the purpose of making themselves thoroughly ac quainted with the loading and unloading mountain batteries, mounting and firing the guns, and the details connected therewith. Lieut. Nolan, who is a most experienced gunnery officer, was indefatigable in perfecting his detachment in the necessary drillA, which occupied the entire day. They also inspected the various equipments with which each battery is to be fitted, including the forges, &c. The forge, anvil, and block, the pair of smiths' bellows folded com pactly together, and the tools weigh 1931 b., and will constitute a mule load, about equal to the gun and ammunition, or the carriage, wheels, &c., con stituting the several loads ; they are to be attached Ito the saddles made in the royal carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal on the Otago system used in New Zealand. The guns are placed crossways, and well secured to the woodwork of the saddle, in a groove made for that purpose, while the limber of the gun carriage is mounted lengthways, with one wheel each side fitted to a couple of axletree arms. The operation of dismounting, placing in position, sponging out, and firing yesterday was carried out in less than two minutes. There were many officers, cadets, and civilians present, who were struck with admiration of the valuable points which the little batteries appeared to possess even for general pur poses. They are now ready forshipment. On joining the Indian artillery the two batteries will be divided into two sub-divisions, each of 55 gunners, the strength necessary for each battery being 96 men, thus leaving an overplus of 14 men to each battery in case of casualties. Lieut. Nolan and five non commissioned officers, with one of the batteries, are to leave Woolwich on the sth of next mouth, in the Indian screw transport Serapis, Capt. Soady, on the embarkation of 7,8, and 9 Batteries of the sth Brigade, Royal Artillery, as already stated in The Sun. _ _ Warrant-officer Perkins, master gunner, Royal Artillery, of Ilubberstone Fortress, has been awarded a gratuity and a silver medal for long and faithful service, by the Commander-in-Chief. The depot of the second battalion of the 23(1 ;U~ ,e Regiment of Foot, or Welsh Fusiliers, arrived at t Newport barracks on Tuesday evening from Deal.

Tourt timulat HER MAJESTY. ---- -P - BALMORAL, Sept. 27. The Queen, acccmpanie I by Princess Louise, and attended by Lady Churchill and Major General Sir Thomas Biddulph, went yesterday morning over to the Duke of Richmond's lodge at Glenfiddich, to remain a few days. Prince and Princess Christian went out driving. The Countess of Kenmare has arrived at the Alexandria Hotel, Hyde-park-corner, from Malvern. Te Earl and Countess of Cork arc staying at Marston House, Somersotshirc, for the autumn. The Right Hon. Horatio Waddington has arrived in town from Brighton, and has derived consid•rrablo benefit by the rest obtained at that watering-place. Lord and Lady Annaly have arrived at Wood lands Castle, near Lucan, for the winter. The Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote has suc ceeded the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy as Secretary of State attending on the Queen. Lord and Lady Reudlesham on leaving Eglinton Castle, where they have been staying on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Eglinton, have gone to their shooting seat in the north of Scotland. The National Reform Fete and Banquet. The committee of Trades Delegates which has been appointed to make the arrangements for the carrying out of this celebration, which is to take place at the Crystal Palace on Monday next, met again at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, last evening. Mr. GEORGE POTTER, the chairman of the Com mittee, presided, and on the part of the sub-corn mitee, upon whom the making of the arrangements as to the celebration more particularly devolves, re ported that the arrangements had now almost reached a conclusion, and he was happy to state that everything hitherto had proceeded most favour ably. They were all aware that at their last meet ing a suggestion was made, that as Mr. Bright had not sent an answer officially as to attending the banquet, a deputation would be better able than a letter to induce the hon. gentleman to be present on that occasion. It was then determined by the com mittee that the matter should be left in his (Mr. Potter's) hands, to act as he considered most pru dent. He had sent a letter to Mr. Bright, and the answer he had received was neither more satisfac tory nor more discouraging than that which had previously been received. It was put into the hands of the secretary, who telegraphed to Mr. Bright stating that a deputation had been appointed to wait upon him, and asking him where he could be found. To that telegram an answer had been re ceived from Mr. Bright that day, stating that ho did not wish that a deputation should wait upon him, and that he would write to the committee on the subject. As Mr. Bright was coming every day nearer to Rochdale, the answer might be immediately expected. In reference to the arrangements everything that the committee had wished to be done in the matter had been done. A programme of the proceedings of the day had been drawn up, and the toasts to be proposed at the ban quet had been selected with a view to give expres sion to the political opinions of the Working Men's Association, as well as to carry out the convivial character of the celebration. These toasts would be put into the hands of competent gentlemen, but the names of those gentlemen had not yet been finally fixed. As regarded the prospects of success, he had to state that they were most favourable. There would be a greater number of gentlemen present than would find opportunity to speak, and he might state that City gentlemen especially were giving in their adhesion to the movement. The manager of the Crystal Palace Company was doing all he could to secure a large attendance. The estimates of 'the numbers who would attend were of course various and conflicting. Some said 20,000, many 80,000, and not a few that 100,000 would be present ; but however that might be, all they wanted to secure a most perfect success was fine weather. Many mem bers of Parliament who had been absent were now returning to town, and many of them would no doubt be present at the banquet, and there was every reason to believe that 800 or 1,000 persons would sit down to it. The SECRETARY stated that the list of toasts to be proposed at the banquet, so far as arranged, was as follows :—The Queen and the Royal Family ; the Reform Act of 1867 accepted as an instalment, to be responded to by Mr. A. S. Ayrton, M.P. ; the Nation's Laws by the People's Voice, to be responded to by Sir J. Boring ; a Free Press, a Free Parlia ment, and a Free People, the best safeguard of Liberty and Progress, to be proposed by General Thompson ; the National Reform Union ; the Working Men's Reform Association ; the Reform League, coupled with the name of Mr. Beales, &c. These were the toasts, as so far arranged, but the names of all those who were to speak upon them could not at present be announced. Mr. JENKINS, a member of the sub-committee, stated that he had taken some pains to dispose of tickets for the banquet in the City, and that he had met with the greatest success. The report of the committee having been adopted, several matters of a routine nature were arranged in reference to the celebration, and the proceedings ter minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. DEATH OF MR. itornlNo LACY.—The death of this well-known dramatic author is announced. Mr. Lacy's connection with the drama and the theatres has boon of fifty years' duration. His principal pieces were produced at the late Covent-garden Theatre, between the years 1830 and 1830. He was the author of " Cinderella," a comic opera, produced at Covent-garden, and which achieved great success, running some hundreds of consecutive nights. Mr. Lacy also wrote several dramas, and adapted the opera of "Robert le Diable" to the English stage. As a novelty, he attempted to produce Handol's oratorio of " Israel in Egypt," with scenery and costumes, at Covent garden Theatre, iu 1832, but the performance was prohi bited by the Lord Chamberlain, as an infringement of tho act by which theatres are lie Bused. THE KENT-P,OAD MURDER.---LOUIS Bordier, currier, was yesterday, at the Central Criminal Court, found guilty of the wilful murder of Mary Ann Snow, 3 young woman with whom lie had cohabited, and sentenced to be hanged in front of licawamager-lane Gaol
