DAY. — Morning,, 3h. 30m.—Afternoon, 4h. 6m .1 . )-11mutow.-11.orning, 4h. 24ru.—Afternoon, 4h. 40m zit ,L_OV_;_, • ' • ' SUIT -) LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1867. yesterday The house of Commons was engaged afternoon in the discussion of a difficult question, about which a good deal might might be said cn either side ; bat finally they decided wisely, for it was on the right side. It is always an unwise thing to Make a comprehensive clump without due con sideration, and without attentively studyi , 1g the consequences of such an undertaking. Lord. AM BERLEY proposed the second reading of the Sunday Lectures Bill, the object of which was to lef :aliEe Sunday lectures. For this purpose he propose d to repeal so much of the existing statute as ma i ns it contrary to law to open any place of public umugi ment or for debate on Sunday it money is charged at the door. Mr. KINNAIRD, in moving the rejection of the bill, showed the danger of it by declaring that if carried the bill might lead to the opening of theatres and other such places ; and, besides, lectures can now be given legally if no charge is made. Mr. HARDT said that while ha admitted the probability of these lectures being not only harmless, but profitable, if this bill passed it would open the doors of infidel lecture-halls, and explained that it would be a mischievous thing to sanction, many being taken for this purpoze. The money test of the Act, which was now sought to be repealed, has hitherto acted as a check in the right direction, and it would be unwise to change the present plan. Mr. BRIGHT'S speech was very moderate, and he did not urge the point strongly, but wished the House to take it into considera tion. He made some impressive remarks upon the necessity that existed for the observance of Sunday, quoting the expressive lines of the poet on the subject, who said— " The weeks wero dark without thy light, Thy torch to point the way." He wished the subject to be inquirel into by a fair tribunal, in order to settle the points . at issue. Lord AMBERLEY refused to withdraw the bill, and the amendment was carried without a division, and the bill was therefore lost. Under the circumstances this was the best thing to be done ; but Sir G. GREY'S advice, if followed, would have disposed of the matter more satisfactorily. He desired that a select committee should be proposed next session to consider how the law could be put upon a more satisfactory footing without affirming the principle of this bill, which was an unpopular one in the House. Ireland and the Irish have certainly not appeared to advantage during the past and present years, and those who pretend to be its best friends seem deter: mined to show how unwise they can be. The course which some of the representatives of Ireland have followed is a most unwise one, and also a most dis creditable one, Yesterday a meeting of the Irish Liberal members was held, at which they consi dered what steps to take in consequence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's announcing that there will be no Irish Reform Bill this session. No doubt that announcement was a disappointment, but really it ought not to have been a surprise to them under the circumstances of the case, and we expect that few were prepared for the determination arrived at. It was resolved, after a long discussion had taken place, that Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE should give notice of an amendment to the effect that the English Reform Bill be not read the third time until the Government had con sented to introduce a Reform Bill for Ireland. A more mischievous proposal can hardly be ima gined than this, or one which reflects greater discredit upon its promoters, and nothing can possibly excuse those who plan it with the intent of putting their idea into execution. These indignant patriots, as they style themselves, are showing what mock Reformers they are at heart, and instead of vindicating their country from re proval they only demonstrate more fully the neces sity that existed for the determination come to by the Ministers. The present state of Ireland is most unsatisfactory, and it is quite idle to assert that it would be advisable to have the discussion on the Irish Reform Bill taken this Session. It would only complicate matters still more, and render the task of settling the Irish question further and still more difficult and uncertain. If these infatuated individuals persevere in their cause, and persist in showing how illiberal soi - disant Liberals can make themselves, it will remain for the House to show their sense of the scheme by indignantly re jecting it at once. It will be the best service to render the promulgators themselves, because no defeat can possibly be so disastrous to them as suc cess must prove. The country will not tolerate any attempt to interfere with the progress of the Reform Bill now that it has made such way, and has commanded so much respect and attention from all parties, and from men of various shades of opinion. Without at all supposing the probability of this factious at tempt succeeding, it is just as well to caution hon. members to be on the alert, and resist the unworthy manoeuvres from the outset ; and still more is it desirable to urge those misguided parties who are in favour of it to stop while it is yet time, and not do themselves such injury in public opinion, and bring discredit on the country they profess to sesve and the cause which they declare their readiness to pro mote. As the labours of the Sheffield Trades' Union go on, the evidence which they extract from the re luctant witnesses tends more and more to confirm the unfavourable impression already formed of the working of these societies. The proceedings of the eighth day were chiefly directed to endeavouring to elicit the truth respecting the affair of SHAW and HELLEWELL. The difficulty of obtaining evidence is in many cases great. The witness are seized with sudden shortness of memory and most convenient ignorance. Thus UENnY GARFIL, a saw grinder, who was formerly a member of the committee of his trade, and was present when SIJAW and BROADHEAD signed a compact and put his name on it, could not tell what it was all about, and did not know what the committee did. "He did not know" was the continual reply, varied a little, when Mr. OVEREND asked him what he was to do on the committee, and he answered, " Sit still, as many others do." On a little further questioning, he admitted that part of the business was con ducted upstairs and sometimes down. What they did upstairs he did not know, downstairs they " supped ale." This is a convenient way of getting rid of an inconvenient number of commit tee men, but it is not the way in which business is supposed to be generally conducted. If we are to believe this witness, although chosen as a committee man, he cannot read and can scarcely write, so that we can only suppose that ignorance is a recommen dation, and that the few leading spirits of such as sociations prefer to have " dummies" to make up the necessary number of committee men, so that their own power and authority may be un limited. The system of terrorism which is kept up through these trades over masters and men alike is something surprising, and, as is usually the case, the powers that be contrive to extort substantial evidence of the submission of their adherents. The rate paid by members of some of these unions is actually half-a-crown in the pound ! No wonder our working men find it difficult to keep their families in winter time, and are always clamouring for higher wages ! A man who earned £6 was told to pay 15s. out of it, and if any one fails in this extortionate contribution he is speedily THE SUN. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE SO , 1867. brought to terms by " rattening" or " fetching" of tools if he be a workman, or of some - part of his machinery, if he be a master. The worst of it is that the masters are as bad as the men, and for the fear of damaging their business always advise their men to give in and to pay the sums charged, thus strengthening the hands of the enemy. If a steady and clever workman did his best, and regularly put half-a-crown per £1 of his earnings in the savings bank, doing as much work as he could get all the year round, regard less of strikes and unions, what an excellent position he would be in ! lie would be independent and self-respecting without hav ing to regard any man's whim as law, and being free to speak his own words and control his own acts. It is absurd to talk of the unions being the friends of working men. They are really their most dangerous and insidious enemies. Even without the violent extremes of gunpowder and pistol-shot, the intangible secret tribunal, watching every man's actions, checking him here and threatening him there, would, we might sup pose, be perfectly intolerable to Englishmen. But little by little the system has gained ground, stimulated, there is no doubt, by the desire of power and money by the managers. The unionists are, in fact, very much like the Fenians in America. A few men talk very largely about the rights and wrongs of their dupes, and deal whole sale in patriotic and high-flown sentiments, and their followers listen admiringly, and pay up all that is required, the Centres and Head-Centres enjoying the fruits and powers of temporary distinction. It may be said that Fenianism does nothing for its fol lowers, and gives them no money back, whereas the unions support their men in strikes ; but, on the other hand, Fenianism does not keep up the sys tem of rattening and threatening letters. JOSEPH WILSON, saw manufacturer, who had for years been at variance with the unions, because of em ploying non-union men, said he had received at different times nearly a dozen threaten ing letters. He put in two in evidence. One of them referred to his employing boys to grind ',for him, and said, "It will save your life if you don't succeed, as it will cause you to become the next game. In that case it is 50 to lon your days being numbered. You are a doomed man," &c. Neither were these altogether empty threats, as an explosion took place on his premises, which injured one of his children. No doubt this is all done with the best of motives, but to the uniniated the appearance of such advocacy of the rights of labour is, to say the least, a little strange. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Moniteur states that during two days the Emperor was suffering from rheumatism, and was compelled to keep in bed, but that his Majesty's health is now completely re-established. The official part of the iloniteur says that the Emperor received on Monday the letter by which her Majesty the Queen of Spain notified to him the birth of a child, the son of the Duchess de Montpensier. His Highness Prince Charles of Baden, and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, have had the honour of being received by the Empress at the Tuileries. The Grand Duke and Duchess travel incognito, under the name of the Count and Countess d'Eberstein. The International Congress charged with the discussion of the monetary question have had a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the presidency of the Marquis de Moustier. The States represented are England, France, Austria, the Grand Duchy of Baden, Bavaria, Belgium, Denmark, Spin, the United States, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Prussia, Russia, the united'. kingdom of Sweden and Norway, Swit zerland, Turkey, and Wurtcmberg. The Emperor of Russia, coming from Wurtem berg, and accompanied by Prince Alexander, who went to meet his Majesty at the frontier of Hesse, arrived on Friday at Darmstadt, where the Grand Duke, the Prince Alexander of Hesse, the Princess de Battenberg, his wife, and the Duke of Nassau were in waiting at the station. The Czar pursued his route for Berlin the next evening at 9 o'clock. On Monday there was a grand review, at Berlin, at which the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and the Princes of Russia and Prussia were present on horseback. The Emperor intended to leave Berlin on the same evening on his return to Russia. After taking leave of his august father, the Em peror Alexander, the hereditary Grand Duke of Russia went to Lubeck, where he embarked on board the State vessel the Slesvig, which was in waiting for his Imperial Highness to convey him to Denmark on his arrival at Copenhagen on Friday. The Grand Duke was received by the Prince Royal of Denmark and the members of the Russian Lega tion. His Imperial Highness went immediately to the Chateau de Fredensborg, where the Royal family and the Cesarewna were in readiness to re ceive him. We are informed (says the ~lloniteur) that the in terview of the representatives of foreign Powers and the Taikoun of Japan, which has just taken place at Osaka, is likely to lead to the most satisfactory results. The conditions for the residence of foreigners at Hiai, liiggo, and Osaka have been favourably regulated according to the spirit of the treaties. The Consul of France at Riga has sent informa tion to the Minister of Marine and the Colonies that, according to a recent decision of the Russian Government, the Central Department of Customs requires from all vessels which enter the ports of the Baltic a bill of health given by a Consul of Russia. The owners of vessels which are not fur nished with such a document are punishable with a fine of 100 francs, even if they come from a healthy port. It is stated that an agreement is almost effected between the Austrian Miniatry and the Gallician Polish delegation respecting the political and ad ministrative claim of autonomy made by that pro vince. Gallicia is to be represented in the Council by a special Minister, to be always chosen from among the Poles. The Polish is to be the official language iu matters relating to administration and the tribunals. The number of Deputies to the Diet is to be augmented, and a special Court of Appeal is to be established for Gallicia. M. de Beust is said to have evinced a desire to satisfy all the rea sonable wishes of the Poles. The proposed new measures must be submitted to the Reichsrath for approval. The Legislative Body have agreed by 193 votes against 26 to the law raising the amount of the portion of the expense to be contracted by the State for the annual support of the municipal police of Paris from 4,247,000 fr. to 5,207,000 fr. A Belgian paper says that the carriage which conveyed the Imperial family of Austria to Pesth for the coronation is the same vehicle in which the Emperor Ferdinand formerly made his entrance into Milan as King of Italy. This carriage is en tirely of gold, except the panels, which are of gla=s. The body of the carriage is covered with paintings by Raphael. A psalter of Saint Louis, King of France, has just been found in the library of Leyden. On one of the leaves is an inscription in old French, to the effect that St. Louis, who was King of France, was taught from this book in his infancy. It was intended to give a Venetian night fete and grand regattas in front of the Champ de Mars last night, but the weather not being considered suffi ciently favourable the fete was postponed till next Tuesday night. The electric light for the English lighthouse now shines very brilliantly every night, and contrasts curiously with the somewhat sombre ucw light of the French lighthouse. It has more the appearance of a star detached from the milky way suspended between heaven and earth than that of a marine light. The Chinese bands at the Chinese Exhibition discourse some exceedingly strange music. The Marquis d'Herve, however, has organised an effec tive band, and in a day or two there they will play during the day in the Chinese orchestra. The Chinese refreshments begin to be more relished. One of the beverages rejoices in the name of you ten-goo, which is said to be very nice, but I have not yet tasted it. _ _ The Imperial Commission have contradicted the report that the price of the stalls at the ceremony of the distribution of prizes on the Ist of July is fixed at 20f. The Commission do not intend to sell any ticket of the kind. A great many tickets have been reserved for the deputations of the exhibitors, the diplomatic body, and official personages. The rest will be devoted to subscribers, who alone, with the above exceptions, will have the privilege of being present at the ceremony. - The Viceroy of Egypt has made the first visit to the Exhibition, and several times expressed the great dwlight with what he saw. The Egyptian portion is peculiarly splendid and remarkable. There is a splendid pavilion for the Viceroy near the Temple of Philo. One of the rooms contains a plan in re lief of Lower Egypt. The others are devoted to the repose of the illustrious visitor. You pass to them by a beautiful door, ornamented with sculp tured ivory, which leads to a sort of waiting room. This room gives access to the salle du salut or saloon of safety, which is surmounted by a beautiful dome forming a rotunda, in which a fountain plays. This room opens upon three others, all of which may be formed into one. There are divans, the floors of which are covered with magnificent carpets and containing rich and curious furniture, which excites wonder and admiration. In the extreme angles two small private rooms have been fitted up, where the Viceroy will sometimes give interviews to friends or official personages. He stopped a considerable time in one of these rooms, and gave audience to several persons. He particularly admired the arrangements of his pavilion, worthy of the Pharaohs. In addition to the Peace Congress at Geneva, a similar society is spoken of, to be called the Inter national Disarmament League. The members are to be working men, native and foreign. A special meeting of the Society of Men of Let ters has been held to elect some of its members, who are to be charged with the organisation of a Literary International Congress. The members chosen are Messrs. Edmond About, Jules Simon, Champfleury, Paul de Musset, Baron Taylor, Auguste Barbier, Emile de la Bedolliere, de Celorine, Wattemore, and Germond de Lavigne. .The funeral of M. Felix Morrand was attended by vast numbers of literary men, and Baron Taylor and other gentlemen made appropriate speeches over his grave. Felix Morrand was born on the 12th of July, 1815, and was the son of an advo cate. Among other journals with which he was connected may be mentioned the Journal du Corn nzerce, the Revue de Paris, the Siecle, the Estafette, the Presse, the llluttration, the Courrier de Paris) and the Opinion Nationale. Among his writings were " La Vie a Paris," 44 Un pea partout," " La Vie Arabe," "Berierette," and the " Sermons of Pere Gavazzi." LATEST IMIELLIGENUB. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) LUXENIBURG.

THE RIOTING AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, Wednesday Evening. The town has looked quieter to-day. During the whole of last evening, and until a late hour at night, all the streets leading to those in which the recent riots and conflicts have taken place were crowded with people. Many of them were mere spectators, no doubt peaceably enough disposed; but that there was another class lurking about ready for mischief, if the opportunity was given to them to go to work by the withdrawal or weakening of the protecting force, was palpable enough. It was a sad and even portentous sight to witness at this time of day such a force arrayed to protect the town from a desperate mob, and in such a cause. The crossings of the streets were guarded by the infantry, the Hussars were picketed in the Bull Ring and elsewhere, and the prison van was escorted by cavalry to the Borough Gaol. There were rumours that distant parts of the town were to be attacked, and although everybody felt assured that the magistrates were doing their duty in prov idin g a s far as possible for any emergency, yet aft er the even ts of Sunday and Monday no one could fee l that there was security. Fortunately thenight went ov er w i t h out any renewaldisturbance. Soon aft er m id n i ght a oof the detachment of more than 100 men ---54th Infantry —arrived from Manchester. They were marched to the Town-hall, and this morning the poli ce h as been augmented by the arrival of detachments from the towns in the locality. Such are some of theprecautionary measures taken after so much mischief has been done. What pro vision was made for its prevention must be the sub ject of inquiry hereafter. The matter has been already discussed at a meeting of the Watch Committee of the Town Counc il , and but for a fact or two there disclosed it wo uld be absolutely in credible that, consid erin g th e danger (to some extent indicated by the the use of the Town-hall should have been done to p r ovide against accide n t. Murphy's first service w as fixed for Sunday, a t 3 o'clock, yet, according to a " report" from th e Chief of Police, laid before t he Watch Commit tee,l Mayor's refusal to gra n t Murphy), so li tt l e or' " six men only were on duty in the locality of the Tabernacle from 3 to 6 o'clock,"—the reason assigned for this being not to create more excite ment than was possible. Allusion was made in our report of yesterday to the damage done in Park-street ; the utter wreck in that locality is indescribable : in some instances the window frames have been wrenched out whole sale—not a pane of glass remains, and the mob carried away every movable article. This street was inhabited almost exclusively by the poorer class of Irish. The poor creatures had to leave their dwellings destitute in every way. The spectacle presented in that respect was truly shocking. It is said that the Irish were the great culprits on Sun day and Monday. Even if that were so, the retri bution is fearful. A local report says : Having sacked the houses, th e ' party o f or d er ' m arched up and down the stre e t , armed w i th frag ments of window shutters, w a i nscoating, cha i rs an d tables, and singin g th e ' Glory Hal lelujah,' bedsteads,Bcc" Brown's chorus.'"

Notwithstanding the numerous places of amusement which were open during the Whitsun week, we were pleased to find that Madame Tussaud's exhibition was exceedingly well patronised by the holiday seekers, and received its full share of sapport. The truly gorgeous court dresses were deservedly much admired ; as also wore the models of our English Kings and Queens, from the Conqueror to Queen Victoria. The Napoleon relics are unquestionably well worth seeing, and will, we feel assured, afford the visitor an opportunity 0 contemplating the m any cur i ous o bj ec t s o nce the property of the great ELllperQr, POLAND. The following address from the Polish emigrants in England to the Emperor of the French has been forwarded to us for publication : " Sire,—We beg permission to offer your Majesty the assurance that the indignation and sorrow with which the recent criminal attempt has inspired our countrymen both in Poland and in France are no less deeply felt by those who are passing their years of exile in England. " We utterly and absolutely repudiate the per nicious doctrine that liberty is to be sought by the assassination of rulers, however culpable. The voice of reason, of religion, and the traditions of our country condemn it alike. The annals of Poland are unstained by the crime of regicide ; and if she has been robbed of everything except honour, the more scrupulously are we bound to guard her last possession. " Great as our humiliation and grief would have been had this untoward event occurred in any other country, these feelings are aggravated by the re flection that the danger so narrowly escaped was shared by your Majesty, as well as by the fact that the Sovereign to whom violence has been offered was the guest of the French people, from whom our country has received so much friendly sympathy and fraternal assistance. We have the honour to be, Sire, with profound respect, your most obedient servants, " By order of the Council of the Polish Historical Society, " CHARLES SZULCZEWSKI, Vice-President. "ADAM GIELGUD, Secretary. " London, June 12." ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF LONDON. The second floral fete was given yesterday at the Royal Botanic Gardens in the Regent's-park ; and in the grand marquee was a magnificent show of flowers, tastefully arranged on grassy banks. Pelargoniums were there in all their glory, and such fine and perfectly flowered plants are seldom seen ; orchids, in their grotesque grandeur, making quite an exhibition in themselves, with a good spriuklnig of roses, fuschias, azaleas, &c. ; nume rous and fine Cape heaths, and fine collections of hot-house plants, relieved by graceful ferns and plants famous for their fine foliage, ren dered the show one of no ordinary interest. The pelargoniums were also very numerous, and amongst so many it is difficult to say which are most pleas ing ; a few, however, attracted particular attention, such as the Empress Eugenie, The Fairest of the Fair, Ariel, Madlle, Patti (all delicate and beauti ful), and Conflagration, Lord Clyde, Calaban, Leo tard (dark and grand) ; there were also a number of fine seedlings, many good new varieties. Of orchids there was a grand show, and the plants were particularly large. Of roses, the principal attraction was the large number of cut blooms ; one box of specimens, named Miss Ingram, was particularly worthy of notice ; it was a fine light variety, grown in her Majesty's gardens at Frognal and parti cularly hardy—having stood the last winter's severe frosts. Among the very good show of fine leaved plants a specially fine specimen of Croton Augustifolium attracted much attention, and very fine specimens of caladiums, variously striped and spotted, were very much admired. Mr.:Henderson, as before, had a pretty little ornamental garden, made of variegated plants, and curious and rare ones tastefully arranged and grouped. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz visited the gardens early, attended by Lord Frederick runlet. When viewing Mr. Waterer's rhododendrons their royal highnesses gave special permission to him to Lame a couple of seedlings after them. Amongst the collection of fruit were some grapes as large as plums, and in great abundance. Pines as fine as they can be ; cherries, apricots, peaches, and melons were all large and good. Some fine fruits of the passiflora macrocarpa were exhibited as large as melons. The bands of the Ist and 2d Life Guards were in attendance, and delighted the very numerous company by their admirable music. Among the company were—Their Excellencies the French Ambassador, the Prussian Ambassador, the Austrian Ambassador, the Danish Minister, the Portuguese Minister, and the Spanish Minister, the Princess Soltykoff, the Duchess of Northumber land, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Marquis of Norman ny, the Earl of Macclesfield, the Earl of Mansfield, the Countess (Dowager) of Lichfield, the Countess of Macclesfield, the Countess of Strafford, the Countess de Torre Dias, the Coun tess d'Avigdor, the Viscountess Kilcoursie, the Bishop of Winchester, Lord and Lady Wenlock, Lord and Lady de Blaquiere, Lord Alfred Hervey, Sir Philip Duncombe, Sir George Hodgkinson, Sir James Kay Shuttleworth, Sir John W. Fisher, Lady Maclaine, Lady Falmouth, Lady Gooch, Lady Manners, Lady Hamilton, Lady A. Stuart, Lady Bailey, Lady Buxton, Lady Fellowes, Lady Dacre, Lady Burgoyne, Lady Bowers, Lady Have lock, General Buckley, Miss Burdott Coutts, 711 E DUKE OF EDINBURGH. Her Majesty's ship Galatea left Gibraltar for Madeira on the afternoon of June 11, and the Duke of Edinburgh has now bid a long farewell to Europe. The departure of his Royal Highness was attended with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the occasion and the important errand upon which the Galatea is bound—to circumnavigate the world and carry a Royal Duke in the footsteps of Cook and Anson—a Royal Duke and his fortunes ; for the Prince may now be said to have cut the ropes which held him to the shore, and to be fairly embarked in his own ship to discharge a difficult and responsible duty. In the afternoon of his departure his Royal Highness, attended by Lieutenant. Haig, R.E., the Equerry in Waiting, went on shore to say " Good bye" to the Governor, Sir Richard Airey. He was received as he landed on the New Mole Stairs with a Royal salute, and a guard of honour, furnished by the 83d Regiment, was drawn up in front of the Convent, once iu days of Spanish ownership the residence of the nuns of Santa Clara, now the Bri tish Government House. After bidding farewell to his Excellency and Lady Airey, the Prince returned to the Mole in one of the Governor's carriages, ac companied by Sir Richard, and escorted by Major- Gen. Crutchley and the rest of the staff-officers of the garrison. The Royal salute was repeated as his Royal Highness left the Mole and crossed the gang way to go up the side of the ship. It was not until past two in the afternoon that the Galatea quitted her moorings. As soon as the anchor was up, and just as the screw made its first revolu tion the Royal Standard was hoisted at the main. The flag went up the halyards in a bundle, but as it reached the truck it " burst," and the streaming of the bright-coloured bunting to the lareeze was the signal for the men-of-war to dress ships, and for the first gtm of another Royal salute from the battery on shore. The presence of the Admiral of the Mediter ranean Fleet and other chances had brought together an unusual number of ships of war. The Bay of Gibraltar has seldom been so well filled since the days of the siege, not even lately when trouble seemed imminent with Spain. In addition to the Admiral's flagship the Caledonia, there were lying off the New Mole the Ocean, the Arethusa, the Psyche, the Trinculo, the Skylark, the Redpole, and an Italian screw frigate, the Principe Hum berto, which last-named ship joined in all the demonstrations in honour of the English Prince. The Galatea steamed slowly under the stern of the Arethusa, and on passing the flagship the signal was made for " Royal salute and man yards." The crew lay out with wonderful quickness along the yards, and the ships thundered an almost simul taneous volley. As broadside followed broadside in rapid succession, the slow moving masses of dense white smoke hung low upon the water, almost con cealing the hulls of the ships, and then gradually stealing upwards hid all but the Royal yards and the trucks of the masts. For a few moments all remained thus enveloped till a light breeze blew aside the thick veil, and one by one the ships stood out clear and distinct against the thick wall of smoke rolling away behind. The G a l a t ea p asse d slowly on, and when clear of the fleet lay to in order to allow the Admiral, Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., and all the post captains to go on board. After an interchange of adieux the Admiral went on board the Psyche, and steamed alongside the Galatea, intending to accompany the Prince's ship as far as Tangier. After a short delay the Galatea picked up her boats employed in unmooring at the New Mole, and then stood for Cape Spartel, well started on her long cruise. from Madeira she proceeds to Rio Janeiro. As the whole voyage will be made under canvas it is advis able to get the benefit of the trade winds which will blow fair from Rio to the Cape of Good Hope. At the Cape the Prince will remain a month, and then, should the advicos respecting the epidemic fever at Mauritius be satisfactory, will probably visit that island en route for Australia. There is no pro gramme made out as yet of the probable proceed ings on arrival in Australia, but it is known that the Galatea will come home round Cape Horn, and that she may be expected in England in the course of 12 months. Fire at the Hackney Wick Sporting Grounds. This splendidly appointed and beautifully ar ranged pleasure grounds, used for pedestrian matches and other athletic games, became this m o rn ing, about half-past 2 o'clock, brilliantly illu minated, not from any mimic display of pyrotech nists, but from a real fire. It appears, from the particulars obtained, that a police-constable, in going his rounds, noticed an unusual glare of light in one of the pleasure stands facing the grounds. Mr. Baum, the proprietor of the well known White Lion at Hackney Wick, was at once made ac quainted with the nature of the disaster, and he at once sent off a messenger for the aid of the fireman and other assistance. During the interval in sending for the engines the flames had made fearful progress, for they laid hold of private supper and al fresco dining apartments to the distance of from 60 to 100 feet. At one time the flames rose so high into the air as to threaten with destruction much more valuable property. Three of Shand, Mason, amigo's. powerfulland steamers, and Con ductor C. Beeten were remarkably early in reach - ing the scene of conflagration, but, in spite of the abundant supply of water afforded by the New River Company, the flames could not be extin guished until at least 60 or 70 feet of pleasure rooms overlooking the racing ground were destroyed. The origin of the fire is not known, but the disaster will not in the least degree interfere with the popular amusements usually carried out in the grounds. MARKETS..-This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
