Even in this address, which purports to make the best of it, and seems resolved only to see with the KING'S eyes, and to hear with the KING'S ears, some intimations are given that all is not so success ful as might be desired. The most faithful Estates accord the fullest assent to the ex pressions used by his INIAJEsTv iu his speech, and they look with courage and confidence to the future development of the reorganisation of Germany. At the same time, it i$ admitted that Thereupon follows an epitome of the necessary con ditions for the union of Germany, and the account is certainly a correct one, but the drawback is that they are not likely to be realised under existing cir cutnstances. "The union of Germany is identical with the observance of natural right, respect for popular liberty, the peaceful progress of civilisation, and the necessary restriction of all policy of con- quest." But that the egotism and self-sufficiency of the Berlin Governmant can allow them to credit anything, and to make things appear exactly the contrary to what they are, we might really fancy that they would take this as a satire upon their proceedings, for -is it not diametrically opposed to the whole course which they have pur- sued, and the policy which they wish to prosper ? First of all, we may well ask where is the respect for popular liberty, and where is the observance of natural right in the Govern- ment of King WILLIAM, and what security can any State that is going to Prussia have for the preser vation of their rights and the furtherance of their prosperity. It is really vexatious to find so much souble taken and time wasted over words and phrases, while the real meaning of what they express is so far off and unattainable. We find a great deal that is true in itself in this these addresses, but then it is not true in relation to those it concerns. Germany has no doubt many high aspirations after national re generation ; but it is sad to think that she is a long way off from realising them, for Prussia can never turn out a benefactor to any State or province that is put under her control. JOSEPH SURFACE 15 not, it would seem, without his modern imitators ; and it must be a great satis faction to our modern moralists to find that the Manchester Brickmakers' Union have so keen a sense of what is right and proper that a member is fined twopence for swearing ! It is no wonder that the Secretary of so well-mannered an asso ciation should find his refined feelings so deeply hurt by the unceremonious conduct of the Com missioners that he should destroy a book on which they desired to lay their profane hands. The newly elected Secretary, lIENTiv GREEN, said that on Saturday night, the 7th, after the court's officers had seized their boxes and safes, he was so disgusted that he put the cash-box in the fire. "If they had come like gentlemen and asked for it, it would have been given with pleasure." How grievous was the mistake of these rough and unceremonious officials ! They were evidently quite unfit for the company with which chance compelled them to associate, and they acted as though the law empowered them to confiscate the property of suspected criminals and conspirators, instead of politely requesting gentle men of refined manners and undoubted respec tability to favour them with the inspection of some necessary statistics. This rash and heed less conduct on their part is the more to be regretted, since we have in consequence lost the chance of acquiring some valuable information. A new code of morals might have been unfolded to our view, and we should have learned the money value of our sins and of our virtues. An oath we know costs twopence. The hamstringing of a neighbour's horse, the firing of a stable, the throw ing of bottles charged with naphtha at sleeping women and children, have various degrees of value in the scale of that virtue which does not find its only reward in bread. Then there arc other degrees of praiseworthy endeavour, such as breaking tools, putting needles in the clay, and poisoning fruit. It would have been satisfactory to the uninitiated to ascertain the respective merits of these several acts, and the degree of immediate pecuniary recompense - which a body of competent and high-minded. judges thought proper to award. On some occasions the severity of justice is relaxed, and grievous offenders: are treated with merciful indulgence. A master briclunaker at Dukinfield committed the direful offence of employing non-union men. This, as we know, was a crime deserving of capital punishment, but his sentence was commuted as follows :—" In 1862 em ployed non-union men. Had 50,000 or 60,000 bricks destroyed. Had complained of the work, and a meeting of men fined him £5. Had stopped work, and thrown up his contract in 1860 and 1861 through fines of this kind. In 1861 he had a horse stabbed in the stable, but did not know it was done by union men. The union men had been very lenient to him," Upon being questioned a little are extended in new directions, the " decisive events" of last year have impose lel more closely by the Commissioner, the representa heavy trials and sacrifices upon the country, and" Eve of English la w as oppose d to the equity or j great universal exertion is still required of them.

No doubt every one of the men who have given their evidence before the commission would, if they had attended a public meeting, have cheered loudly the praises of free trade, and have applauded to the echo any perora tion about the high standing and public spirit of English working men. There is something to be , learnt at Manchester as well as at Sheffield, and we strongly apprehend something to be learned in the other great centres of industry, if these ingniries The Oxfordshire members have been discussing upon public affairs, and Col. NORTH delivered a very interesting speech, much to the purpose, and which was well received by those present. The annual gathering of the Thames Agricultural and Horti cultural Societies was the occasion that called the company together. In responding to the toast for the army, Colonel NORTH alluded to the Abyssinian expedition, and said that he was certain no Englishman would think that we were duing wrong in entering upon the campaign, because the unfortunate captives had been badly treated in the first instance, and when the QUEEN had sent a gentleman to intercede for them the barbarian KING put him in prison also. In reverting to public affairs generally, the gallant Colonel said that some subjects authorised them to depart from their rule not to trespass upon political matters. Reform had been talked of year after year, but nothing decisive had been done until this session. Lord DERBY had been called to account for saying that they had taken a leap in the dark ; but, as Colonel NORTH truly added, who can tell exactly what may be the consequences of the measure until it has been fairly tried. " Lord DERBY felt he could trust to the good sense of the people, and he was sure that his lordship would not be disappointed." Further on the speaker turned his attention to the strictures made against himself and others who had " turned their coats." This had not been done for any personal advantage, and all the alterations they bad made were be cause they acted upon their convictions, and sought what was best for the country. Col. FANE also spoke, and stated that, personally, he was himself against Reform, but that the House had acted in accordance with Mr. HENLEY'S advice. "If you pass a bill, pass one that will go the whole hog." He, however, hoped, with Colonel NORTH, that now the measure had become law, it would prove to be a satisfactory and a successful one. A most entertaining speech was made by Mr. HODSON, who declared that " Radicalism and Conservatism was very much alike, particularly Conservatism ;" but he trusted that the recent union that bad taken place between them might conduce to the good of the country, and that the spread of education might " qualify every one to make the best use of the faculties which the ALMIGHTY had given them." CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The following is the news of the Moniteur:— " The Emperor and Empress of Austria, accom panied by the ex-Queen of Naples, arrived, on Fri day evening at Munich, on their return from Swit zerland. Their Majesties were received at the station by the Duchess, wife of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, and mother of the affianced bride of King Louis the Second. The Emperor was to meet King Louis the Second yesterday at Possenhosfen. His Apostolic Majesty was expected to-day (Sunday) at Ischl. " To judge. by the unanimity of the language of the Vienna journals, the negociations which re cently took place between the Ministers of Finance of Austria and Hungary have been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Ihe matter in question is to regulate the various points connected with the division of the public debt between the Empire and the Transleithan kingdom. " A telegram has brought the news of an amnesty granted by the Sultan to the inhabitants of the island of Crete. According to the decision made at Constantinople, every individual who, compro mised by late events, shall return home and deliver up his arms, will enjoy security and protection. A delay which will expire on the 20th of October is awarded to the foreign volunteers to leave Candia on board ships, whether foreign or Turkish. The natives who wish to leave the country with their families are authorised to do so, on condition that they shall give up all they possess in the island, and on undertaking not to return to it without haying THE SUN.

The Sultan's troops will continue to be charged with the maintenance, of the public tranquillity, and all proceedings against foreign or native volunteers will be suspended unless there should be any aggression on their part." In addition to the above the Montieur publishes an imperial decree announcing the postal convention concluded on the 29th November between France and Greece. According to this convention the postage of letters to and from France and Algeria to Greece is fixed at 12 sous for each prepaid letter, and 16 sous for each letter not paid for a weight of 10 grammes, or fraction of 10 grammes. (There are seven grammes and a-half in a quarter of an ounce.) Printed matter, patterns, catalogues, &c., may be sent for a postage of 12 centimes per 40 grammes, but pre payment is obligatory. Letters may be registered in each country. The dissensions, violence, and stormy procedings of the Geneva Peace Congress occupy the journals more than might have been supposed. They form the subject of long and caustic polemics. The Con gress for the moment has more prominence than the proceedings of the Reichstag of the Confedera tion of the North, which, however, are of consider able importance. It is stated that the Assembly will not vote an address in answer to the speech of the King of Prussia, but that a great many deputies will ask questions of the Mi nisters relative to the course they intend to adopt in regard to foreign Powers, and the attitude they will assume upon the German question. Various reports are in circulation in Paris as to the probable tenour of the replies which will be made by M. Bismark. The " men of confidence" of the Duchies of the Elbe are still occupied with arranging the internal organisation and the administrative divisions of Schleswig Holstein. The Prussian Minister of the Interior, M. Eulenberg, presides over the mem bers, among whom are men of considerable note, including the President-in-Chief of the Duchies, M. de Scheel-Plessau, the director of the Ministry of the Interior, M. de Klutzea, and Councillor Wolf. It is natural to imagine that politicians of such note in Prussia will exercise considerable influence over the assembly of these " men of mental f tEp c o o au n r tit ; nse d amb e ne n srt c goe,o, in circumscriptions, ' divide a tihhd e eeautonomyfirsmajoritytheir t i nterritoryst at o hn o f w ao f tph h er i o e nsm Schleswigte into two t however, te wd o w are Duchies. osa h proposal rouovl Count pde or sboa be subdivide i d sla i n n edi t r e celfe e s i F. g hat Various r es circles, reiroun, 8 s h a po n ruo d l jdo t o h ht a es t saur l b l e d o ilbvs being id e n i e n gd , withinto the eleven preparedi nrespectingconstitution the c o of communal the D constitutionueheDuchies o f andth the Elbe.

The worm is generally spoken of as the most terrific of modern times. Paris was almost inundated with the rain, and the lightning struck an immense number of buildings. A. very singular circumstance is mentioned. A man and his wife were going to the halle with a cart filled with vegetables for sale, and while proceeding along the boulevard St. Michel the cart was seen to oscillate with great violence. A sparkling meteor played around the cart and dazzled the eyes of all who were near it. Both hus band and wife became insensible, but they soon recovered, and it was found that they bad not re ceived any injury. The cart, however, had been overturned, and, the horse being released from the shafts, galloped away. The harness was broken into fragments, some of which were precipitated to a distance of 12 yards or more. An English sailor belonging to a vessel in the port of Antwerp is subject to fits of somnambulism. A few nights ago he left his ship and took a walk about the town in very primitive costume ; in fact, he had nothing on but his shirt. Being s een b y some workmen they wished to take him ba c k sa f e l y, they wanted to ro b put himself in th e With some troubl e , however, they awoke him from his sl eep, an d h e ah b ti u nit t i t t u b adt e e s fio o rf m s ta n ns a h m En b lnv t ge i i s s t hfi t gb h h i o n t; k e i ra n .ngd was glad to regain his ship as speedily as possible.

Immediately on his arrival the dress of the cellular prison was exchanged for that worn by convicts condemned to hard labour for life, with a red waistcoat and a green cap. The blacksmith of the prison rivetted to his left ancle a heavy iron ring, to Nrhich the chain of the convicts is attached. He preserves his usual indifference and calmness. The wound on his left hand is completely cured. In answer to a question, he said the injuries were cured in three weeks, chiefly by cold water.

The funeral cortege was formed at Brompton Barracks at two o'clock, shortly after which hour the procession started from the barrack square, passing beneath the Crimean Memorial Arch, for the place of interment, at Gillingham Cemetery. In advance of the procession was the firing party, with arms reversed and in open column. The body of the deceased officer was conveyed to the cemetery on a funeral car drawn by six horses, the shako, sword, and medals of the deceased being placed on the coffin above the pall, which was borne by six officers of the same rank as the deceased. Immediately in front of the cars were the bands of the Royal Engineers and the Royal Marines Light Infantry, with muffled drums and their instruments draped in crape, the bands playing at intervals, with fine effect, the "Dead March," from Saul, and other appropriate music. After the body was led the charger belonging to the deceased, followed by the relations, friends, and other mourners on foot. The battalion of Royal Engineers next followed, under the command of Col. Fitzroy Somerset, succeeded by nearly the whole of the officers belonging to the various corps in the garrison, together with those connected with the civil departments, the whole numbering about 300, the officers marching in fours, each wear ing the customary military mourning on the left arm, and their swords also hung in crape. The officers were arranged according to their rank, com mencing with the subalterns, Major. Gen. Freeman Murray, in command of the division at Chatham, and Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., bringing up the rear of the procession. Along the route to the cemetery the roads were lined with spectators, who uncovered as the body of the deceased was borne past. After the body had been lowered into the grave the firing party advanced and gave the customary num ber of volleys over the deceased, and the procession returned in the same order to Brompton barracks. Yesterday an order was received at Fort Pitt, Chatham, directing a party of the Army Hospital to proceed this mo rn i ng to Netley, for the Corps purpose of embarking for service with the Abyssinian expedition.

The detachment will leave Woolwich in the course o the present week. On Friday afternoon the sth Dragoon Guards were paraded on the Middlewick Farm, Colchester, where they underwent a careful inspection by Lord G. Paget, Inspector General of Cavalry. They were afterwards put through the usual field move ments, and then marched past. The inspecting officer also examined the barracks and regimental books. A magnificent military trophy in silver, consist ing of a testimonial cup and plateau, or centre piece, has just been completed by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, for her Majesty's 48th Regiment, at Aldershott. The plateau on which the superstructure stands represents bastions, cur tains and lines of fortification generally, and is inscribed with the names of the great battles in which the 48th took part—Toulouse, Douro, Tala vera, Albuhera, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Orthes, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Sebastopol, &c. Capt. Lord Fred. Kerr, R.N., Col. E. Wray, C. 8., and other officers of the Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal, have been in consultation for some days paht, in the official de partment of Capt. Gordon, C. 8., Principal Super intendent of Military Stores, on the subject of the pack-saddles best adapted for the Abyssinian cam paign. They were aided in their investigation by Major-Gen. Willoughby, C. 8., Assist.-Commissary Bailey, C. 8., Mr. Aspinwall, and others, specially appointed by the War Department for that purpose. The result of their inquiries has been to counter mand the shipment of those formerly ordered and ready for despatch, and now finally pronounced ill adapted for the service. Consequently, the whole of the cases containing the pack-saddles, which have been in readiness for shipment for some days past, were yesterday ordered to be cleared away from the wharf, and to be stored in reserve. They are to be replaced by the species of saddle used during the war with the natives in New Zealand, and designated " the Otago saddle." Mr. Bailey, who accompanied the troops as supernumerary during the war in New Zealand, had ample means of testing the efficiency of the saddle; and on his recommendation, and that of Quartermaster Stafford, Military Train, the Go: vernment have resolved on adopting the system for the present expedition to Abyssinia. They have also undergone a course of trial at Woolwich and Akiershott with advantageous results, The War LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. MILAN, Sept. 15.

VALETTA, Sept. 9.—By the Marseilles mail, ar rived on Saturday night, I have received letters from the squadron to Aug. 28. The Caledonia, and the rest of the ships sailing under the command of Lord C. Paget, remained at Spezzia until the 21st, when they sailed at 6 p.m. for Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba. The Tyrian joined them from Villa franca just as they were weighing, and brought the mails and despatches to Aug. 16, with several pas sengers. Spezzia was very healthy when the ships left. General leave was given to all the crews, and they conducted themselves very well. Many of them visited Pisa, Florence, and other places of interest. An unfortunate man named Baxter, belonging to the Prince Consort, was killed by falling over the rocks near San Vincenzo. He was a most sober, steady man, and all his money was found on him. He was decently interred by the authorities of the place. On the 22d the squadron practised at a target, the Commander-in-Chief shifting the flag temporarily to the Tyrian to witness the exercise, after which she was sent in to Porto Ferrago. The squadron kept at sea until the 27th, and anchored in the evening. The Tyrian was to leave on the 28th for Villafranca with the mails. The Psyche was expected on the 29th from Villafranca with the mails. The squadron were in perfect health, and as they have not visited any infected port, it is hoped they will not meet with any difficulty in obtaining pratique at Malta on their return about the end of October, otherwise they will winter in some other port. lam happy to state that no fresh cases of sickness have occurred among the 11th Regiment since my last report. 'i.ho public health generally continues satisfactory, with the exception of one or two cases of cholera within the last 48 hours. Deputy Commissary-Gen. 11. B. Morse returned to Malta in the Delta, having been telegraphed for by the Governor. Major-Gen. Atherley left on the same day in the Tanjore for Southampton. The tug Prompt, of 52 tons, arrived here on the Bth inst. from Glasgow, Lisbon, and Gibraltar, bound for Alexandria, for service connected with the Abys sinian expedition.

The ..APAlahon saddle is to be thoroughly tested at home and secured for future use. Tenders are to be issued immediately for the manufacture by private contract of some 5,000 or 6,000 of the Otago saddles, to be made of various sizes for different animals, which, it is stated, will occasion no delay in the expedition, mountain guns an d equ i pment w i ll not be complete d and ready f or s hi pment b efore the first week in the ensuing month, w hi c h w ill afford abundant time to complete the c on t rac t s to any reasonable amoun t required. as the The 65th (2d Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, C. 8., arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday morning, from Aldershot, by special train, via Farnborough, and embarked on board her Majesty's screw transport Orontes, Captain Phelps, in the foll ow i ng s t rengt h :-35 off i cers, 621 men, 58 women, 73 c hild ren, an d 8 horses.

All will rejoice to hear, says the London Review of Saturday, in an article rather after date by th e way, that the report, to which we alluded a fort night ago, of the precarious state of Mr. Dickens's health, is entirely devoid of truth. How it origi nated we know not ; but there appear to be certain persons who find a singular and occult pleasure in inventing and circulating false reports with refer ence to the health of men of eminence. Mr. Dickens is at the present time perfectly well, and is busy, at his country residence, Gad's-hill-place, near Roches ter, on a new work which is to appear in one of the American journals. Fortunately for himself and for his readers, he understands the art of preserving hid constitution from the ravages inseparable from the pursuit of any intellectual occupation, and especially incidental to the calling of a writer of fiction, who has to go through a world of emotions (and some of them very painful emotions), over and above those which he shares in common with all other human beings. The mere act of imaginative crea tion is exhausting ; and in proportion to the inten sity, power, and vividness of the creation is t he degree of " wear and tear" which the artist suffers. hence the temptation, which writers are not alwaYs strong enough to resist, of recruiting their energies by the ready aid of stimulants, Mr. Dickens follows a wiser course. lie seeks the great restorative processes of nature, and, by a country life, by early hours, by a large amount of exercise in the open air, and by attention to the great sanitary laws of life,. balances the activity of his head 11 fair play to his physical being. Ile does not eon sider genius any warrant for neglecting such matters; and so we may hope to have him working among us, and increasing the stock of our pleasures/ for many years to come. Some doubt having been felt as to the reception he would be likely to me et with in America, on account of the way in which he wrote about the United States some quarter of a century ago, the Nw York Tribune remarks :--" It is not necessary to deprecate, as some of our contem poraries incline to do, a possible hostility towards Mr. Dickens on the part of the American No such feeling exists. Our people do, in deed, remember the American Notes,' and th ° satirical chapters in MartinChuzzlewit,' and are, ne doubt, of opinion that, as a matter of taste, Mr' Dickens might well have been more gracious. Be t ', on the other hand, our peopl e lik e f ree s peech, and appreciate frankness—not forgetting that tr ut h should be the North Star o f au th ors hip, and tha t there is a good deal of truth in what Mr. Dickens said about us on returning from his first visit to this country. From the fi rs t un til now the grea t novelist has been true to his duty. At home as well as abroad he has attacked every for m i of social abuse, and re b u k e d i n justice, an d laughed at folly, and inculcated sound. Prin . ' ciples, and faithfully laboured to refine the character and extend th e s cope of human happiness ; and in pursuing that work he has neces sarily struck hard blows, and offended arrogant in justice, and wounded se lf-l ove , an d a roused enmity . But he has not aroused enm ity. Of a ll people on earth, the Americans are necessarily foremost to recognise a spirit that has purely and powerfully laboured for the advancement of the human race ; and they recognise such a spirit in Charles Dickens. To remind them that he once satirised some of their follies and eccentricities, or that he somewhat mis took their character and institutions, is not to blind their eyes to his genius, or deaden their sense of his great achievements." We are requested to state that the Baroness Adolphe do Rothschild did not supply flowers for the de coration of General Garibaldi's apartment on his late re ception at Geneva, as was erroneously reported, and that the Baroness remained entirely aloof from the proceedings onnected with the reception of the General.—Times. AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES.---The Melbourne Argus states that the marriage of two educated aborigines was celebrated on the 10th of July with considerable ceremony at the mission station Bamahyuck, Gipps Land, in the presence of a large number of spectators. In Tasmania th e aborigines have come to their last man, William Lannon " a bluff young gentleman of 26 or 27 ;" but there are three aboriginal women living, none of them young. Laneel embarked for England in the Ethel, and hoped to be re ceived by the Queen. CHOLERA ON THE TYNE.—The collier brig Jarrovir reached the Tyne on Friday, with one of her crow, Charles Knight, aged 30, ill of cholera. He was attended by Dr* Coward of South Shields, who found him in a state of col lapse, and he died in the afternoon. His remains were taken out to sea on Saturday and sunk in deep water. The Jarrow had discharged a cargo at London from llelsingfo rs, and the deceased had joined her in the Thames for the ran down. He was in his usual health until Thursday last, when he was seized at sea with a violent attack of diar rhoea and vomiting. It is said that the Jarrow had one of her crew dead at Gravesend also. The Jarrow is on e e' the old collier class, the rest of her crew remain healthy'. She will be kept in quarantine until Monday. FIRE AT A FLOUR MILL.—A fire broke out early yesterday morning at the flour mill, Southall, which pro pel ._ very destructive. The local engines were soon at W er t attempting to extinguish the flames, but it was foul?" necessary to solicit the aid of the London Brigade. Ti" fj was obtained, but the fire had obtained such a hold of the building that little could be saved. All the upper 1 : 1°°15 were destroyed, and the grana r i es i n th e lower part of tee building wore much damaged.
