It is a wearisome task to follow the course of the Prussians, but it will not do to pass over their acts altogether in silence, while some mistaken indi viduals, and other perverse ones, persist in lauding their efforts and magnifying their achievements. If there be one thing more obnoxious than another in the doings of the Prussians it is their cruelty. At the time of their war with Denmark Lord DERBY remarked in the House of Lords that he regretted to find that the Prussian soldiers still disgraced themselves by the exercise of that cruelty which in the time of the general European war had called forth the just condemnation of the Duke of WEL LINGTON. It is always the same in peace or war, in succesu or defeat, while pursuing a tentative policy, or while following up a victorious struggle ; one thing appears more striking than another—a true national characteristic—and that is cruelty. The Paris journaLs have the sense and spirit to expose some of this unseemly conduct, and it is well that they should do so. The Daglabet has given some distressing de tails concerning the manner in which the Prussian authorities persecute the Danes of North- Schleswig. This system is as unfair and unjust in a legal sense as it is unworthy and ungenerous, according to a moral point of view. The Treaty provides that those natives of Schleswig who wish to do so may return to Denmark, but the vindictive oppressors who were forced to make this cession, nullify its effects by declaring that they must take their families with them, whether they are desirous of so doing or not. The authorities have published an ordinance, which goes even beyond this arbitrary arrangement. It forbids the natives of Schleswig to return to the Duchy after having quitted it, and this iu the face of the permission vouchsafed by the Treaty of 1864 to change their place of residence as often as they like during the next fourteen 3 ears. If any native should reappear in the Duchy after having been to Denmark he is to be expelled at once, and thus it will be seen that these un fortunate individuals have not the privileges accorded to foreigners, for these latter can remain as long as they wish in the Duchy. Surely no comment is needed to prove the in justice of this course, and it is, indeed, crowning evidence of the want of faith exhibited by Prussia. It is deeply to be deplored that this country should have played so false a part to Denmark, and per mitted the unscrupulous authorities at Berlin to see that they could do as they like. Our inattention and indifference has brought a sad fate upon many of the unfortunate victims of Count BISMARCK'S aggressive polidy, and at least we may hope that it will remain as a solemn warning to all future gene rations of statesmen, and prevent them from letting might get the triumph over right in so extraordinary a manner. Had the English Government been firm as they were hesitating, and as decided as they were yielding, avery different state of things would have ensued ; but, unhappily, it turned out otherwise, and while suffering has been the portion of the Danes shame undoubtedly appertains to ourselves. No wonder that the Daglabet should record these doings with horror, and indignantly demand that some notice should be taken of the " cry of distress arising from the unfortunate population." The Siecle observes, in allusion to this, " France cannot be in different to the outrages referred to, for it was at her demand that the article in the Treaty of Prague was introduced " stipulating that the Danish popu lation of Schleswig should be consulted as to thei wish to return to Denmark." Another in stance of arbitrary interference and of bitter persecution is afforded by the Arent . ). :Na tional, which states that the Prussian Government has demanded with great eagerness, and has actually obtained, from the Dutch Government the expulsion of one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers, Hanoverian refugees. What irritates one in respect to the Prussians is that they go out of their way to inflict injuries on others, and cannot be just, far less generous, when they have gained a great deal more than they expected at the outset. After the decided advantages of last year IA hat excuse can be offered for the audacious at tempts now so persistently made to push things beyond endurance, and to crush anew those al ready so heavily afflicted. The day of reckoning must and will come, for all those violations of honour, truth, and justice; and meanwhile the game is not entirely in their own hands, for they have made a powerful enemy in France, who watches everything with suspicion, and who has already, in the Treaty of Luxembourg, partly foiled the insi dious intentions of the Berlin Government, and made it retreat within due limits. The Democrats of America are taking fresh courage, and are looking forward with hope and confidence to the elections in the fall. The coun try, they flatter themselves, and not altogether with out reason, is disgusted with Radicalism in its present form, and indeed the experimental legisla tion of the ultra-Republicans has cost the American public dear. Rumours are abroad in Washington that if Congress does not meet next month, the condition of affairs, both political and finan cial', will induce the PRESIDENT to convene an extra session in August. The PRESIDENT, however, has not much reason to hope for substantial assistance from STEVENS, ASHLEY, and their associates. The difficulties complained of are in great measure due to their legislation already, so it is not very easy to believe that they would undo their own work. The present unsatisfactory state of the finances is clearly traceable to their reckless expenditure in bounties and other totally unnecessary channels. Unnecessary, that is to say for the States, though turned to very good account in keeping up the dominion of the Radicals. Again, the depressed state of trade and general dulness of business is mainly due to the unsettled condition in which Mr. STEVENS and his friends persist in keeping the Southern States. The political bitterness and agitation is of course clearly traceable to the same cause, and the country may thank the Radicals for having intro duced a fertile source of discord into the South first, as the people, white and black, were settling into something like tranquillity. The perpetual con flicts between civil and military authority effectu ally prevent anything like stability or content among the Southern people. The whole policy of the Radicals would seem to indicate that they wish or intend to irritate them into a fresh rebellion, or at least to stir them up to such open disaffection as will afford a plausible pretext for wholesale confiscation. Louisiana has recently been the scene of an animated dispute be tween the rulers, which ended in the removal of Governor WELLS by General SIIEF.IDAN. As we heard by the last mail, Governor WELLS refused to yield his place to his successor, whereupon Gen. SHERIDAN compelled him to surrender. He has, it ig nnler, , ;too 1 , appealed to Washington, and the', Cabinet have decided that General SHERIDAN ex- I ceeded his powers, the military officers in command having no right to remove civil officers deriving their authority from the Southern State Govern ments. The case of Governor WELLS is not an isolated one, as several other civil officers have been dislodged by the invaders in different parts of the South. But although the Cabinet has, it is said, fully decided in their favour, there is very little chance of their reinstatement. The Government is not strong enough to vindicate the supremacy of civil law, while from Congress itself, as at present constituted, there is nothing to b 3 hoped. The Democratic party, as we have said, are beginning, in consequence of the general dissatisfaction, to recover their courage, and they have been holding a grand Convention in Pennsy lvania, where the Republicans last year ob tained a large majority. The Democrats are hopeful of success this fall, and have adopted a series of resolutions representing their policy. They declare the Southern States to be entitled to repre sentation, they oppose negro suffrage, and charge the Republicans with destroying the Constitution, and with wholesale corruption. It will not improve their credit in this country to find them supporting the Protective Tariff Bill, but this unfortunately is the case with politicians of all parties in the States. If the Democrats can succeed in strengthening their position in Congress, there may be some hope of restoring tranquillity and confidence to the country—otherwise it, is difficult to see how even the form of Government in the South can be much longer kept up. The position of the finances will, no doubt, be mainly instrumental in effecting this change, if it is effected, since Americans can best ap preciate the merits or demerits of a policy when they realise its practical results in dollars and cents. The Irish land question occupied the time of the House of Commons yesterday, but no result was obtained, as the debate was adjourned, Sir C. OTOGIILEN spoke at considerable length upon moving the bill. Upon the whole the proposals he made seemed fair enough, and certainly there is one thing to he said, that the present arrangements do not seem to succeed. They neither produce satis faction to the holder of property nor comfort to the tenant. Of course a great deal may be said on both sides of . the question, as there generally is in such complicated matters ; but if this bill be thrown out, as it will most probably be, why should not the House take the matter up, and seek to devise a remedy for the evils that s) glaringly exist ? The bill discussed yesterday sought to provide that henceforth no tenancy from year to year should be created by construction of law, and that failing a contract all tenancies shall be presumed to be for the term of twenty-one years, or that a dispossessed annual tenant should be en titled to compensation for certain things. Without at all agreeing with Mr. Sergeant BARRY that the state of the laud question in Ireland has given rise to Fenianism, we think that there was a great deal of truth in the opinions of some of the Irish mem bers, to the effect that a better understanding would prevail, and that more friendly relations would be established between landlord and tenant, if there existed more clearness in the contracts between them, and if the tenant felt more certain of his Among the many grievances, real or imaginary, of Ireland, this land question has always held a prominent place, and it would be a happy thing for all those nearly or remotely connected with the country if a satisfactory solu tion could be come to concerning it. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL was against the Bill, which he said would not answer the end in view; t i ah c tr t i to o eur u goi t a ltih t s eFr lande e c n e i n a tnis connec tion question,had ai a l n of d tztici it h n e lg; t a ol d vad d s e o d ii hs assured tchoc o n f iln. e with the late trials as prosecutor. Perhaps some good may be obtained by this prolonged dis cussion, even if no immediate end is answered by it, for too much attention cannot be given to the subject. tenure. We are not surprised to find that the Trades' Unions' delegates of London have held a meeting for the express purpose of expressing their abhor rence of the atrocities recently brought to light at Sheffield. We cannot say, however, that the meet ing is calculated to improve their position in the eyes of their countrymen, inasmuch as it displayed great want of temper and tolerance. It was not to be supposed that the other trades' unions of the coun try would do otherwise than denounce such crimes, at least in public ; but we are sorry to find the mischief still at work, and the interests of " the Union" are still paramount to those more ordinary considerations of right and wrong, of justice and humanity, which trouble other men. The fact is that those who speak on these occasions are the delegates, or secretaries, or leading men of the unions, to whom power and position are too plea sant to be willingly surrendered. We have very little doubt that if it were possible to convene a meeting of the rank and rile of trades' unions, the men who are compelled to pay down heavy contri butions out of their earnings for fear of " ratten ings " would tell a very different tale. Setting aside the personal considerations, we have no doubt that a large proportion of them would, if released from the influence of their leaders, unhesitatingly de nounce the social tyranny and oppression counte nanced by the best of these unions. It is very little use for resolutions to be passed denouncing the " foul deeds" of BROADHEAD and the others, when the prevailing feeling is evidently one of apprehen sion lest the strong arm of the law should be stretched out against such secret societies. Thus a speaker at last night's meeting defended every thing connected with trades' unions except the violence, and maintained the right of a number of workmen to refuse to work with a man who had offended trades' union principles. What becomes, then, of individual liberty so far as that man is concerned? The same speaker said that nothing could be more diabolical than the Sheffield outrages, except the action of masters in locking out their workmen. This, if we remember rightly, is very much what BROADHEAD himself said of FEARNEHOUGH at the time of the explosion. The last resolution carried by the meeting clearly indicated that the delegates have not learned much by experience, and the whole tone of their speeches and resolutions looks very much as if the meeting was rather a necessary concession to public opinion than a matter of real conviction on their part. RUGBY SCHOOL—Yesterday was the tercentenary of the foundation of Rugby School, and the annual speech (lay as well, consequently the town was en fete, and the famous seminary established by old Lawrence Sheriff in 1567, was filled with old Rugbeians, who had come to hear the present scholars declaim the speeches. In the morn ing service was held in the chapel, and Dr. Temple, the head-master, preached an occasional sermon. The speeches were commenced in the great school at three o'clock. Among the visitors present were the Bishop of London, the Dean of Westminster, Lord Scarsdale, Right Hon. J. G. Goschen, M.P., Sir J. D. Hay, Bart., M.P., Sir J. M. Stuart, Sir .T. Forgusson, M.P., Col. Fane, M.P., Rev. Dr. Butler, Rev. Dr. Collis, Hon. Mrs. Stuart Wortley, &c. The head-master (Dr. 'Temple) commenced the proceed ings by reading a long list of Rugbeians who since Mid summer of last year had attained high university honours. The speeches were then delivered, and were frequently applauded. Iu the evening a brilliant company dined to gether in the Town II dl. The Dean of Westminster pre sided. MURDER IN ABERDEEN.—A murder of a very agg:., :.;to I and horrifying description has been committed in Aberdeen. The body of a widow, brutally mutilated, was discovered on Tuesday in a house there, which had been shut since _Cridny night or Saturday morning; and her son, a young luaLl about 27 years of age, who was dis missed a week ago on account of drunkenness from a situa tion which he held as clerk, has been apprehended and charged with the crime. A RURAL MENAGERIE.—The adjourned case in which Mr. Chantrell, of Ivy Lodge, llottingJean, was charged with havirg a nuisance, consisting of an extra ordinary large nundor of animals (cats, dogs, &e.), was heard before the niagis.`•rates assembled in petty sessions at Lewes on Tuesday. Miss Doan, the defendant's ward, was called to give evidence, end she deposed that the ani mals—from 100 to 200 cats, arid a large number of other animals—were necessary to her in prosecuting her profes sion as an artist.

LA TEST I N TEIALIGENGE, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDE:N.TT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evenin g. The Moniteur states officially that at the sugges tion of the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Emperor Napoleon has appointed Prince Napoleon President of the International Commis sion appointed to consider the propriety of establish ing one uniform monetary system. The subject has made great progress. llis Royal Highness Prince Arthur has been received by the Emperor and Em press at the Tuileries. He was accompanied by Lord Cowley. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge are expected at Paris on Saturday next. They will be present at the grand ceremony of the distribu tion of prizes on Monday at the Palais de l'lndus trie, but will return to London soon afterwards, to take part in the grand review,which, by order of the Queen, is fixed for the succeeding Friday. It appears that there will be a short delay in the arrival of the King of Sweden, who is not expected in Paris until the middle of August. In the mean time we shall not be without an extra Sovereign or so. The Sultan of Turkey will be here on Sunday or Monday, and the King of Wurtemberg in the course of next week. ilis Majesty Charles the Fifteenth, King of Sweden, is the grandson of Ber nadotte, the French general, who was raised to the throne of Sweden during the first Empire. As far as I can ascertain no positive news has been received in Paris respecting the Emperor Maximilian, but in the best-informed quarters the previous account that he had been permitted by with the view of re the Empress Charlotte J p auiarri ring z g t t o o e A m ii b r a a r n k l a f r o t r o E r Europe n e is still, believed to be accurate. The report from English sources, that he had died of wounds re ceived at Queretaro, di4l not find general credence. There have been reports of the intention of the Government to dissolve the Legislative Body. The official journals discredit these reports, and I am informed that they arc without foundation. Musical people in Paris are in a state of jubila tion. Among seine family papers belonging to Mozart the' discovery has been made of another opera composed by him, called the '• Ora del Cairo" (the goose of Cairo), and some amateurs already affect to know that it is superior to " Don Gio vanni," the " Magical Flute," " Les Noces de Figaro," or the " Requiem."

The descent was made at Chilly ilazarin, near Lonju - mean, about four leagues from Paris. The greatest height attained was 1,030 metres. It was very • cloudy, and the galleon was enveloped in thick clouds, when it had hardly reached an altitude of 650 metres. On descending the anchor tore up an apple-tree, and the tar carried away a wall, but, with the exception of a few shocks, nothing hap pened to the passengers. The direction was in a direct line from the north to the south. The velocity of the wind was about a quarter more than that of an express trait. The opinion given by the writer about balloon travelling is this, " Whoever has once tried this mode of locomotion will not, I think, be disposed to adopt it a second time." The smaller balloon, which ascended, made a journey of about 480 kilometres in eleven hours and a half, about the distance from Paris to Cologne. The balloon crossed the Loire over Orleans at 9.15 p.m. and continued to travel in darkness during the night, it being very cloudy. The descent was made at 4.15 a.m. at Larouchefoucault, near Angouleine. The Imperial Prince has made a visit of two hours to the Exhibition, and was pleased with every thing, but he took particular interest in the show of artillery, matine accessories, and pictures. The Prince was everywhere received with enthusiastic and reiterated acclamations. He is now in the most perfect health, and there is not the least trace of Ilia late indisposition. The weather improved to-day. 11re had warmth and sunshine, but the wind was violent, and the tendency is towards storm. I have already glanced at a difficulty " looming in the future," as M. Disraeli would say, relative to the faithful execution of the treaty of Prague. Instead of exhibiting a desire to carry it into effect, the attitude of Prussia has rendered further negotia tions necessary between the Cabinets of Berlin and Copenhagen. Th e negotiations relative to Northern Schleswig, it appears, are to be resumed, but upon a new basis. Prussia does not desire to give up either Alsen, Duppel, or other territories to the possession of which she attaches great importance, and is very unwilling that they should be consulted upon the point of their restoration to Denmark. Prussia, it is added, wishes still to dominate over Germany generally without any agreement with the stipulation of the treaty of Prague. Upon this im portant point the Opinion .Nationale observes : " We hope that this news will not be confirmed. The question is one of principle of the first im portance, the right of a people to decide upon their own fate and Government. This right was formally recognised by the treaty of Pragu e , which consti tutes of itself a principle of the first importance. It is essential that the matter should be disposed of according to forms stipulated by the International Act of the 24th of August, and we protest with all our power against the new attack whi c h i t is pro posed to make against it. It is possible that the old spirit of Prussian feudalism may not be contented with the introduction of a new principle in the do main of its policy ; but what King William pro mised after the battle of Sadowa ought to be per formed. Austria only conceded upon that condition her right to her share of advantage from the con quest of the Duchies of the Elb e, and we cannot understand that the head of the House of Hohen zollern shall be allowed to evade an obligation so important and so solemnly accepted. It is time to insure to the peoples guarantees against the ambi tious pretensions with which they are always threatened, and the Treaty of Prague must not be allowed to fall into desuetude. The inhabitants of North Schleswig ought f 6 be consulted, like those of Venetia, and if M. Bismark should refuse, he will afford a striking Proof of the little hope to be founded upon the principle of universal suffrage w hich he has conferred upon the Confederation of the North."

The Pope, in a public consistory held to-day, which was attended by 400 bishops, pronounced an allocution, in which he praised the zeal of the bishops in coming to Rome, and their attachment to the Holy See. Nothing, he said, was more beautiful than that example of the union of the Church to celebrate the canonisation of martyrs and the centenary of St. Peter. When the enemies of the Catholic Church see this union they could compre hend her immense power, and the errors of those who declared her to be antiquated. The union of the bishops and the vicar of Christ would always tend more and more to strengthen the Church. His Holiness confirmed the con demnation of errors already condemned by the allocution of October '29, 1865, and expressed the desire to convoke, as soon as a fitting occasion should offer, an 'oecumenical council to repair the evils which oppressed the Church, and to point out the necessary remedies. The• Pope concluded by recommending prayers to God and the Imma culate Virgin, and by giving the bishops his apos tolic benediction. ITALY. FLORENCE, June 27.

The Dagbladet of to-day in its French review says that the guarantees demanded by Prussia for the German inhabitants of North Schleswig form only .a subordinate part of the question. The negotia tions, in reality, turn upon the recovery of Alsen and Duppel. The writer points out that the Danish Government could not possibly withdraw behind the national lines so plainly marked by the elections to the North German Parliament. " The Schleswig Danes," says the Dagbladet, " would prefer the common lot of slavery until the great day of libera tion should dawn." SPAIN. MADRID, June 26. At the sitting of the Congress to-day the Minister of the Interior stated, in reply to a question, that a band of 60 badly-armed persons had recently ap peared in the vicinity of Madrid, but had withdrawn towards the mountains of Cuenca, leaving several prisoners behind. The Minister added that, accord ing to all appearance, public order will not be dis turbed in any part of the country.

A decree of the Prefect of the Bouches-du- Rhone orders the closing of the Princess Clothilde Club at Marseilles, for havigg become a gambling house and the haunt of womei of light character. A letter from Venissieux (Rhone) says :—" The rye harvest is nearly at an end, the grain being well developed and promising a good yield. For some time past the fields in this neighbourhood have been infested with great numbers of rats, which attack the roots and cause much damage to the standing crops." A Paris letter, in the Journal du Havre, says : " A precipitate departure of the Viceroy of Egypt is spoken of, and he is to leave Paris, it is said, in a day or two. On this subject, financial deceptions and offended self-love are also mentioned. However we have every reason to believe the following to be quite accurate. The real motive of the Viceroy's de parture is that he does not wish to meet the Sultan. The very day of his arrival at the station he had a rathersharp altercation with Djemil-Pacha, Ambas sador of the Porte, who met him on alighting. He observed to the latter in French, and in a tone of ill-humour—' It was at Toulon and not here that you ought to have waited on me.' Djemil replied, also in French, and emphasising his words—' I have acted according to the express instructions of our common master and sovereign.' This answer -ex cited the displeasure of Ismail Pacha, and he spoke on the subject to the Marquis de Moustier, who listened politely to his complaints, but declared he could do nothing in the matter. bide iras." Accounts from the Lot- et-Garonue state that the wheat is ripening fast in that district, and that in another week the harvest will have commenced in the plain of the river Garonne and Lot. The ears are very fine and well filled ; the seed is large and is already bursting from its envelope, which is a good sign. In general the wheat is thinly sown, and the straw will not be abundant. The vines have a very healthy appearance, the bunches being large and well furnished with fruit. The tobacco has been planted under favourable conditions. The late rains have been propitious to this branch of agriculture, which is one of the most important in the department. The hemp looks well, and the temperature of the last few days has been very suitable to it. Plums have suffered in several districts ; the fruit appears far from plentiful, and promises only a small yield. The green crops have been sown in excellent condi tion, and will produce a good average yield. The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmospheric situation yesterday : " A zone of low barometric pressure this morning occupies the Gulf of Genoa and the Tuscan Sea; the wind blows fresh at Naples and at Antibes, and strongly from north-east at Perpignan. On the con trary, considerable pressure prevails on the western coasts of Europe. The breeze is feeble in Brittany, and calm prevails in the northern regions, on the coasts of Portugal, in the Channel, and in the North Sea. The barometer has risen 2 min. at Paris, 4 at Brest, and 2 at Valencia The sky generally is overcast, and rain falls at Bayonne, Rome, and Paris."—ln Paris yesterday the weather was exceedingly dull and lowering ; in the forenoon rain began to fall, and towards evening it came down heavily.

The Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes held its 23d annual meeting yes terday at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, the Earl of Shaftesbury presiding. Among the gentlemen present were Sir Walter Stirling, the Rev. Mr. Nisbett, rector of St. Giles's, the Rev. Mr. Owen, Canon Conway, Dr. Trench, the medical officer of the Board of Health of Liverpool, and the Rev. Mr. Pelham. The object of the society is to afford to the labouring classes convenient and healthy dwell ings at reasonable rents. Buildings belonging to the society are situate in localities where the work ing classes chiefly congregate, and the report, which was read by Mr. Payne, the secretary, stated that the house in George-street, Bloomsbury, for the accommodation of single men, had 100 inmates, producing a rent of £715 6s. 6d., which, after de ducting £445 17s. ld. for expenses, left a balance of £269 9s. sd. ; the house in Streatham-street had 54 families, consisting of 237 persons, pro ducing £790 175., and leaving a balance of £ll3 13s. 4d.; the model building in Gray's-inn-road had 166 occupants, yielding a rent of £479 125., and leaving a balance of £283 18s. 4d. ; the num ber of washings at the public washhouse was 13,652, producing £326 18s., but in consequence of repairs the washhouse was closed for several weeks, so that the return was less than it would have been. The Hatton-garden house accommodated 54 single men; the rents amounted to £309 45., and after deduct- ing expenses there was left a balance of £24 9s. 81, au exceptional outlay for painting having been necessary. The renovated lodginghouse in Charles street, Drury-lane, had an average of 80 single men lodgers; the rents were £409 4s. 1.d., and a balance was left of £136 6s. 6d. Clark's-buildings, Broad - street, St. Giles's, had a population of 260 ; the rents being £576 35., and leaving a balance of £lollBs. Bd. The building in Wilde-court, Drury-lane, had 360 inmates; the rents amounted to £63185. 2d., leaving a balance of £lO2 9s. hi. At Tyndall's-buildings, Gray's-inn-road, the occupants were 361, and the lodginghouse had 28 inmates ; the rents were £989 Bs. 3d., which, after deducting expenses, as in the former cases, left a balance of £136 Is. The secretary then read an abstract of the cash account up to December, 1866,which showed the receipts to be £6,120 10s. 6d., which, with the balance in hand, made a total of £6,421 13s. 14. The expenses dur ing the year amounted to £3,580 12s. Bd. Loans repaid, and interest on other loans, £1,607 ss. sd. ; salaries, rent of offices, printing, &c., £795 11s. 110. leaving a balance in the hands of the trea surer of £474 3s. ld. The value of the real property belonging to the society (at cost) was £44,524 14s. 91d., and the general liabilities amounted to £20,446 14s. 4d., leaving assets in the hands of the society to the amount of £24,078 2s. sid. On the motion of Sir Walter Stirling, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Nisbett, the report was received and adopted. The Rev. Mr. Owen then moved the reappointment of the com mittee for the ensuing year, which was seconded by Canon Conway, and agreed to. Dr. Trench, in mov ing a vote of thanks to the chairman, said that the corporation of Liverpool had 'expended a large sum of money for the purpose of affording lodging-houses for the poorer classes of the people, and the ques tion was, how they were to reimburse themselves for the outlay. A work of this description could not be conducted on a merely philanthropic principle ; it must be conducted solely on a commercial basis, and he had come to that meeting as a pupil to learn from the society in what manner the Liverpool corporation was to proceed t o ma k e the undertak i ng in which they had embarked remunerative. To evince their earnestness in this cause, the corpora tion had offered a prize of £2OO for the best plan that could be devised for enabling them to carry out such a work by which they might realise a re turn of 5 per cent. upon the capital invested. The vote was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Pelham, and carried by acclamation. Lord Shaftesbury returned thanks, and while expressing his regret at the little progress which had been made in mitigating the evils which it was the object of the society to lessen, he at the same time felt that there were agencies at work which, while on the one hand they tended to remove closely pent-up build ings, and so far made open spaces where hitherto there had been narrow and unhealthy districts, un happily, on the other hand, were displacing thou sands from their dwellings, while their numbers were being continually increased by other thousands coming from the provinces. Great remedial mea sures had been proposed with regard to the cubic area that was to be allowed for the poor in the hos pitals and workhouses of the metropolis ; and if such a scheme were to be carried out in the dwellings of the working classes, he knew not where they could rest themselves unless they tabernacled in the open streets. Nevertheless, he would not speak with dis paragement of the scheme, for to a certain extent he thought it ought to be put in force. With regard to supplying cheap dwellings to the poorer classes, he did not conceive it possible in a commercial point of view by the erection of new buildings. It could only be done remuneratively by being put into re pair buildings already erected ; bearing in mind that the main object of the society was to provide dwellings for the large masses of the people who lived from hand to mouth by their daily labour, and who do not realise more than from 12s. to 14s. a week. It was perfectly clear that Is. 3d. a week was as much as such people ought or could pay for their lodgings. The duty, therefore, as well as the principal object of the society, was to do everything it could to facilitate the adaptation of existing build ings to the accommodation and means of that large portion of the community. INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY.—The under-named gentlemen have been honourably distinguished by the examiners among the candidates who have passed during the Trinity Term for admission on the roll of attorneys and solicitors of the superior courts :—Ralph Hutchinson Young, Charles Mylne Barker, Walter Gardiner, Albert Lewis, to each of whom the Council of the Incorporated Law Society has awarded a prize of books; Archer, Ellery Arthur Bennett, John Copland, Francis Nathan Drake, Charles Godfrey Esam, Jasper Gibson, Williams Harper, Robert Hunter, M.A., Hugh Stirling, M.A., and Charles Henry Turner. One hundred and thirty candidates came up, of whom oue hundred and eighteen passed. THE REFORM LEAGUE.—At the meeting of the Council of the Reform League last night, at the offices, Adelphi-terrace, the president, Mr. A. Beales, M.A., took the opportunity of stating that he thought certain mem bers of the League had done well to attend the recent meet ing at St. James's Hall. He felt that it was his duty as president to defend those friends and members of the League who had taken part in that meeting. ~:r~ ,AZ - 9 TO'Urt ortulat HER MAJESTY, &a. WINDSOR CASTLE, June 26.

St. Giles' and the Gzeen Field& TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you kindly allow me a small space in your columns to plead with your numerous readers for a little assistance to enable us to take 300 of the poor of St. Giles' for a summer day's excursion into the country ? They are almost entire strangers to fresh air, green fields, sweet-smelling flowers, and the singing of birds. They see little else year by year but the closely thronged courts and alleys of their own immediate neighbourhood. They live for the most part in miserable garrets and dark underground cellars, not fit for a dog to inhabit. May I not, in the name of humanity, plead for a helping hand to enable us to give to them, our poorer neighbours, a few hours' enjoyment outside the smoky city. Subscriptions may be sent to in address as under.--I am, Sir, yours faithfully, GEORGE HATTON. 12, Compton-place, Regent-square, W.C. Hayes, the Policem n. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Thc great interest taken by the public in the above-namel case will not be lessened by a knowledge of the following facts. Matthew Hayes, the policeman who was convicted of perjury at the Old Bailey last November, bad, at the previous September sessions, held at ellerkenwell, obtained the conviction of a man named Robert Lake for alleged attempted burglary, and he was sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. During my inquiries into the case, in which I was more immediately interested—that of the two lads, Pierce and Dye--facts came to my knowledge which made it appear that Matthew Hayes was la the habit of getting up false charges; and that this Robert Lake was another of his victims. All the facts being collected, the necessary legal steps were kindly undertaken by Mr. Shaen, of Bedford-row, who prepared a memorial and presented it to the Home Secretary, praying fur further investiga tion into the case with the view to establish the man's innocence and obtain her Majesty's pardon' Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., kindly supported the prayer of the memorial, and I have great pleasure in appending a copy of the reply recently received from the Home-office.—l am, &c., JOHN IVORY• 53, College-place, Camden-town, June 25. Whitehall, June 20, 1867. Sir,—The Secretary of State for the Home De partment having considered the case of Robert Lake, in whose behalf you have appealed to him, I have the satisfaction to acquaint you that he hag felt warranted under all the circumstances in ad vising her Majesty to remit the remainder of the prisoner's sentence.—l am, sir, your obedient ser- Pant, T.
