THE great annual display of the Volunteer force has passed off with unqualified success. The weather was of Italian brilliance, albeit the sun, owing probably to the blotch indisposition, was rather tardy in making its appearance ; the troops were very numerous ; and the good folks of Brighton offered their best reception. _ _ _ Indeed, given - weather and the men, and it is hardly possible that a review at Brighton can be other than a success. Dover and Portsmouth possess great ad vantages, there is no denying; but Brighton can offer abundant accommodation, affords plenty of general amusement in addition to the great show of the day, and is near London, whence most of the corps are drawn. The railway facilities, too, are on a scale well calculated to guard against the risk of a break-down. It is no trifling duty to land 25,000 men safely, even at a distance of but fifty miles from the great centre, to creditably execute a complicated series of manoeuvres, and then convey the host, with the still greater host of spectators, back to their homes. At Brighton the danger of failure is reduced to a minimum, and it is well that it should be so. The Easter Review is a great event of its kind. It combines some of the serious business of Wimbledon with the more purely recreative display in which the Parisians so much delight.* It is seldom that the Volunteers appear in such force for a single day's evolutions. And it is right that the public should have an occasional opportunity of testing the merits of the remarkable force which arose in a time of sudden panic, but which was not, like most other products of fear, destined to vanish with the original cause, which has gradually grown in favour with the nation and at length taken rank as a British in stitution. The well-being of the force de pends upon popular sympathy, and the shop keeping people is not apt to sympathise with what it does not see. In this respect yester day's review answered its purpose admirably. The display was excellent, the music and marching all that could ba wished, the manoeuvres were well done, and the enjoyment of the spectators appeared to be unlimited. This is all there is to be said. Successful holidays, like the history of peaceful nat 'ow, require no description. Would that the subject ended here. If good " marching-past," excellent band-playing, and the loyalty of citizens at Brighton were all that was needed to make an efficient Volunteer army the time for anxiety would be past. We can manage an Easter Review now, whatever might be the case in fcrmer years. Unfortunately the more perfect the annual show becoines, the deeper is the swpicloa that great improvements are needed to make the Volunteers a formidable weapon of defence. It is one thing to fight a mimic battle on Sussex Downs; it is another to beat off a well-disciplined and well-led enemy. The perfect or ganisation which would transform 150,000 riflemen into a great army has yet to be undertaken, and until the nation directs the attention of its representatives to the matter, the deficiency is not likely to be made good. The troops themselves are not to blame. They have with great industry and patriotism devoted themselves to learning everything which it was in their power to learn. But the proper facilities have not been forthcoming ; in many professional quarters —the fact is unquestionable—the force has been regarded as "irregular" and obnoxious; and scant encouragement has bean offered. In order that the Volunteer army should be all that its best friends could desire, it is needful that it should be so orga nised with a military train, and so accustomed to work in largo masses, as to be ready for practical war at any time. At present the army consists of a number of regiments, each inde pendent of the others, and each still more indepen dent of the regular professional force. It is not, as it ought to be, a continuation of the red-coated host, differing in the conditions of service, but alike in other respects. In case of war the two, under present conditions, would be no more capable of mingling than oil and water. At a time when the formation of a great reserve, quit 3 distinct from the Volunteers, is under serious consideration, it is more than ever necessary that the wants of the free army should be earnestly taken up. A force which has cost so much time and money in preparation is surely worth keeping, and if the Volunteers are to be kept, now is the proper moment. If once a regular reserve be formel whilst the free reserve remains in its present anomalous condition, the fate of the latter will almost surely be decided. It is obvious enough that the War Office and the Horse Guards will do very little. The organisation of the Volunteer force has become what it is through neglect, and by neglect the professionals hope that some solution of the problem may be found. It is quite time that the House of Commons demanded a final settlement. Tho difficulty is simply to find some means of raising the Volunteers to their proper position as an assistance in the work of defence to the regular soldiers. The two bodies must be made homogene ous. There must he one system for the control and organisation of both, making all due allowance for difference in the conditions of service. The problem is not easy ; but it is surely not insuperable. It requires willingness on the part of the authorities to undertake the labour, airl willingness on the part of the men to undergo the necessary training. If these conditions can not be met, the question as to the wisdom of maintaining the force will next present itself. It would be deplorable indeed if so much labour, money, and loyalty bore no fruit ; but it is obvious that things cannot remain as they are. Admirable as is the specta'3le, the Volunteer army needs some more substantial final cause than an Easter Review. THE proposed reduction in the postage of news papers and printed matter is a step in the right direction. It is remarkable that a department, which, of all others, has shown enterprise and energy and a readiness to depart from the groove of routine in order to benefit the public and itsJlf, should so Luna have .paiutaiu9 . d ... the present high . rate of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1870. postage on newspapers. So long as the great majority of newspapers were charged at from threepence upwards, the charge of one penny for carriage did not seem excessive. But as soon as the penny press was firmly established, it became apparent that the Government ought to charge less than cent per cent upon the value of the article carried. The slowness of the Government to move in this matter led to the loss of a very large bush'', cs which it might have retained in its hands. Private individuals, without the privileges which a monopoly and a vast organisation confer, found that they could do the work for less than half the price which the Government demanded. The Government has at last bestirred itself, but it must not expect that firms like Messrs. Smith and Son, which have been in possession of this lucrative field for so many years, will allow themselves to be driven out of it. At the same time it is not every part of the country which a private firm, how ever extensive its organisation, can reach. There are districts which would not pay for the working, and it is only a Government which has the purse of the nation to fall back upon that can occupy such dis tricts. There seems to be some doubt in the public mind, and even in the minds of those who should have certain knowledge, as to the exact details of the con cessions which Mr. Lowe has announced. It is questioned if Mr. Lowe means to charge a halfpenny for every newspaper, however light, or merely a half penny for every six ounces of newspapers. We cannot suppose for one moment that the former course is in tended. Such an alteration would,so far from being an advantage, be a positive disadvantage to the cheap newspapers. At present three copies 0f,..a paper of fifty-six columns will go for one penny. X still larger number of half-penny papers are carried for the same postage. To enforce payment for every single paper would be to inflict a serious fine upon the latter class, and even the former would escape injury only by making use of the " printed matter " tariff. Such a course as this would be so utterly re trograde that we cannot imagine any Cabinet pre sided over by Mr. Gladstone, the Minister who carried the repeal of the paper duty in spite of enor mous obstacles,, entertaining it. The step would be all the more reprehensible because under Mr. Lowe's new arran:ement an enormous advantage is conferred upon the Times. That is the only daily paper which ever publishes a sheet weighing six ounces. A large portion of this matter is advertisements, that is, information which the Times is paid handsomely for publishing. On the other hand, the cheap newspapers, giving a much larger proportion of news, have to pay for most of the information which they circulate. The close rela tions between the leading journal and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have doubtless had some influence in fixing the weight adopted under the new tariff; and the proprietors of the Times were so well aware of Mr. Lowe's intentions that they were enabled to forestall the Budget by announcing to their sub scribers that henceforth their journal would be sent by post for threepence. We do not grudge our contemporary the great advantage which it will derive from from this new arrangement, for, as we understand that arrangement, other jour nals will share the benefit conferred. But the pro prietors of the cheap press throughout the kingdom would be up in arms against Mr. Lowe if it were supposed that they were to be left out in the cold, while the Times alone was allowed to sun itself in the light of the Chancellor's countenance.

The annual Easter field-day of the volunteers has been ii 1d to-day at Brighton. It afforded a favourable con trast in many respects to that of last year, when the demonstration took place at Dover. Fos several years in succession, since the organisa tion of the volunteer movement, displays of this character, which may be almost designated national ; have taken place; and, notwithstanding that the novelty which is invariably imparted to nee, things, has now almost entirely died away, they are becoming more popular year by year. On the present occasion, the review will bear comparison with any of its predecessors, both in its brilliancy as a military spectacle, and as shewing how our citizen soldiers are gradually im proving in that discipline and efficiency which alone can make them of essential value to the country. But to digress for a moment. It is well known that, as a rule, the movements at military and volun teer reviews and sham fights are pre-arranged; but a great deal of discussion has recently taken place as to the efficacy of this mode of procedure in imparting to those concerned a practical idea of the conditions of actual warfare. The force of this has been so far recognised in official quarters, that in some instances the old, stereotyped method has been departed from, and fights, not "sham," in the true sense of the word, have taken place, in which the direction of the troops has been wholly left with the officers in command, to be guided precisely by what they conceive to be the emergency of the case. This, however, has not resulted so satisfactorily as had been anticipated. The non-observance of the pre cautionary regulations, has led to accidents. To this circumstance, probably, is to be attributed the refusal of the officials in whom the arrangement of the present review has been vested, to extend the trial to the volun teers, who cannot be expected to be so thoroughly disciplined as the soldiers of the line. It has been urged, too, over and over again, that in order to advance the effi ciency of the volunteers, it is of essential importance that frequent opportunities should be afforded them of exer cising with the regular troops. This argument, however, cannot be generally, but ' only partially, applied, for it is palpable that when the volunteers are located in extremely isolated districts, they can seldom have an outing with the troops, though when they are without range of military districts, it may be well to urge upon the authorities the necessity of remedy ing the deficiency much more generally than is now the case. The War Office is evidently in a fix on the matter. It has endeavoured to meet the difficulty on several pre vious occasions by appointing army officers to act on the staff ; but the utter inutility of the arrangement was strikingly exemplified in the last year's review at Dover, when the staff-officers, being unable to identify one corps from another, experienced incalculable difficulty in delivering their orders in the proper quarters, whilst the volunteer officers could not comprehend from whom the instructions emanated, the whole leading to undesirable confusion. On the present occasion the same plan was adopted, and although as improvement was perceptible, nearly similar difficulties had to be encountered. How to obviate those evils, therefore, is a problem, the solution of which ought to precede the occurrence of another review on such an extensive, or even less, scale as that which we are noting. That Brighton should have been selected as the scene of the review of 1870 cannot be a matter of surprise to anyone—indeed, it is rather a mystery that the claims of the " Queen of Watering Places" have for so many years been overlooked. When the force was first established, some ten years since, Brighton was the first town which was called upon to accommodate a body of volunteers, who, it will be remembered, were with considerable succees conveyed there, and manceuvred under Lord Ranelagh. Though, comparatively speaking, the force on that occa sion was a small one the inhabitants afforded every facility for the accommodation of the men, and if wemista,ke not, all parties were perfectly satisfied. The two or three reviews which were subsequently held at Brighton simply went to confirm the opinion which many had formed, that a more convenient spot could not be selected. One of the great reasons why success has always attended the review here is that Brighton is in direct communication with London, and the South Coast Company, with its enormous staff, is capable of meeting almost any emergency, and added to this the inhabitants are so accustomed to receiving large numbers of visitors that the confusion which is felt to such an extent at Dover and Portsmouth does not take place here. There are amuse ments of every kind for the volunteers, and that the gene ral efforts of the townspeople are appreciated is shewn by the fact that thousands of volunteers arrived several days before the review. We know that the public iose several interesting sights such as the working of fortifications and the naval engagement which is seen at Portsmouth and Dover, but they are amply compensated in other ways. Monday morning broke dull and cloudy, but as early as nine o'clock the sun appeared, and towards noon shone with almost summer brilliancy. Brighton, gay at all fimes, never looked so lively as it did on this occasion. Wherever the eye looked flags of all descriptions were flying. The shops were closed, ex cept those at which refreshments were supplied. The streets were thronged with volunteers and the general public, and everything was animation. The arrival of the volunteers was watched with much interest. The corps which came East and West of the main line were discharged at the ordinary passenger platforms, but the London corps which of course formed the great bulk, had a separate siding set apart for them near an immense carriage shed which was cleared for the occasion, and which in case of rain would have accommodated many thousands. The arrange ments made by the Brighton Company were fully equal to the occasion. The first train arrived at 6.34 a.m. from London Bridge, and was followed at 6.41 by another than from Victoria. Between this time and 10 o'clock about 20 volunteer trains arrived from the two stations named, in the proportion of about three from London-bridge to one from Victoria. The ordinary morning train was not started until the volunteers had arrived, so that all confusion was avoided. The utmost precaution was taken on the line to prevent accidents. In fact, with the largely increased staff brought into requi sition, the chance of a casualty was almost, if not entirely removed. On the arrival of the volunteers they were at once marched by the routes set down in the regulations to the enclosures between the level and the sea. By ten o'clock the railway company had completed their portion of the morning's work, and the volunteers had all safely arrived in the town and had taken up their places at their respective rendezvous. The first and second divisions stationed themselves at the Level, the third division in the open space of St. Peter's Church, and the north enclosure, whilst the Garrison Artillery were at the enclosure opposite Marlborough street, and the fourth division at the Pavilion-gardens. The respective corps arrived in quick succession, but their arrival was not witnessed by a large number of spectators who were probably debarred from putting in an appearance by the somewhat cold morning breeze. As the day advanced, however, the numbers considerably increased, and the lookers-on had much to admire in the varied and elegant uniforms of some of the volunteers, the interest of this being added to by the martial music which everywhere resounded. Crowds of excursionists poured into the town, and the scene became one of apparent disorder, though the discipline of the volunteers was strongly marked. The 3rd Middlesex Artillery brought their guns from the station down Cheapside, and their small appear ance formed a theme of general comment. The Steyne enclosure presented an exceedingly pretty appearance. The water thrown up by the large fountain sparkled in thh sun, and this, together with the gleaming of the swords and small arms, which were piled on the ground in quarter distance column, contributed not a little to the gaiety of the scene. By 10 o'clock the locality of the rendez vous was all animation, and at that time a gun was fired as a signal for the forces to proceed to the scene of action. The preparations were speedily executed, and shortly before eleven o'clock the troops began to move from their respective brigading grounds. The artillery did not, as a matter of course, take part in the procession, their guns—the number of which was unusually large, there being three brigades of field batteries, comprising fifty-two guns, of which twenty were 18-pounders, having been previously conveyed to the ground. As their transit through the crowded streets Would obviously be productive of danger, it had been arranged that batteries should be prepared to take their appointed places in the line of march on the ap proach of the infantry columns. There were altogether about eighty corps in the line, and the procession occu pied about one hour and a half in passing a given point. They proceeded to the hill by way of the Marine Parade sad Bedford-Atm% tlac Ittsg pace a ttepb,6l arch, the expense of which was borne nilvate subseriPSo had been erected. The route throughout was oonipleteW lined with spectators, and it may be said that, at a mode rate computation, no less that fifty thousand persons *ea present, this being entirely independent of the thousands who had previously, and who sub sequently repaired to the reviewing ground. Pedes trians anxious to accompany the volunteers in their march encountered no end of difficulty : so great was the crowd that they were sometimes unable to budge an inch for ten or fifteen minutes, and they then escaped, only to find themselves in an equally, if not more, provoking difficulty a minute afterwards. This and more had to be submitted to, and those who were so unfortunate as to be in the possession of tender feet deserved the utmost commiseration for the hob nails of the rustics and the scamping feet of the roughs—of whom, however, there was but a compara tively small sprinkling—were not pityingly applied. The scene on the Marine Parade was beautifully picturesque. Balconies and even the tops of houses were fully occupied, the fair occupants being attired in dresses of every variety of colours ; whilst various portions of the houses on the noble parade were either bedecked with bunting or ornamented with devices bearing mottoes and inscriptions indicating a welcome to the citizen soldiers. The proces sion was the all-absorbing sight : with intense interest was the passing of each corps, headed by bands of music watched, and the spectators had not even a moment to devote to the magnificent sea view which can be obtained at this point, and in the admiration of which at another time they would, doubtless, spend hours. The racecourse • was eventually reached, and when there the whole force formed in a mass of quarter-distance columns preparatory for the march past. The scene presented upon the downs almost baffles description. The grand stand, and enclosures, which will accommodate many thousands, were full to overflowing, whilst the whole length of the race course was lined with spectators, who watched the march past wit)' evident delight. As the different brigades arrived upon the hill they at once formed quarter-distance columns and prepared for the rcarch past, which to the -/ general public is the most intelligible part of the day's - proceedings, and therefore, perhaps the most interesting. A spacious paddock to the south of the grand stand was set apart to accommodate the several bands which had been selected to play during the march past. Shortly before 12 o'clock, the time appointed, Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, G.C.8., who commanded the force, appeared upon the hill, accompanied by a numerous and unusually brilliant staff. This was the signal for a general movement, and in the space of a few minutes -4 was ready, and the gallant general took up his position at the saluting point. The march past commenced at five minutes past twelve. First' came the Honourable Artillery Company, scarcely fifty in number, who were the only cavalry engaged. This fact is to be regretted, as the presence of cavalry at the Reviews gives an additional interest to the day's proceedings. We believe that the 10th Hussars and the depot of the 11th Hussars are stationed at Brighton, but as they are short of horses were unable to be present further than to render assistance in keeping the ground. Follow ing the Hon. Artillery Company came the Hon. Artillery Company's guns, namely, four pieces, well horsed and manned. The 3rd Middlesex and the other artillery corps which formed that branch of the service in the first division came next. Then came the infantry in open column, and among the corps which were recognised in the First Division were the London Rifle Brigade, who mus tered about 650 strong, and who as they passed the saluting post, were warmly cheered, the formation of all of the eight companies being excellent. The Tower Hamlets corps was in the same brigade, and were equally strong. They also received a greeting for their capital marching. The marching of a few of the corps which followed was certainly not so good as we have witnessed, and there seemed to be unusual delays between the different brigades. This was noticed by General Scarlett, who despatched an aide-de-camp with the view of obtaining leader intervals. Very little improvement, however, was effected, and in several cases some time was wasted. Lord Ranelagh who - rode at the head of the second brigade of the second division, was recognised by the crowd, who, as usual, gave him a good hearty cheer, and it would thus seem that the good people of Brighton. have not yet forgotten that it was to his lordship's perseverance, the first review was held on their Downs. Lord Ranelag,h, too, has, with great zeal, since advocated the cla'ml of Brighton, and his conduct is con siderably appreciated. The Civil Service Corps, the 20th Middlesex, the 7th Surrey, and the Ist Middlesex were applauded as they passed the stand, and right well they deserved it, especially the five companies forming the latter corps, whose marching was really equal to that of almost any line regiment. The 3rd City of London, a strong company, received a similar compliment, and several of the Hamp shire corps, which turned out in large numbers were, deserving of the "bravo," with which they were greeted. The same may be said of the London Irish, who appear a most efficient body of men. The Brighton Rifle and Artillery Corps, and also the other local volunteers, were recognised readily by large numbers of those present, and cordially greeted ; but perhaps the most genuine burst of enthusiasm was reserved for London Scottish, who were nearly the last to march past. There were five companies of tolerable strength. and they passed the saluting point like wall so good was the " dressing" they observe 4• Two or three of the companies appeared in full Scotch dress, with kilts, &c., and a sprig of green was arranged: in the bonnet of every man. They were cheered over and over again as they passed along• the course, and certainly they were fully entitled td it for their military bearing was, if equalled, not surpassiod by any corps upon the ground. The march past occupied scarcely an hour and a half, and immediately At its conclusion the attacking and defending forceo were drawn up in the position assigned to them in readiness for the sham fight, Major-aenertg, Russell, C. 8., taking the command of the attac- ing force. The whole force was divided into four divisionti, consisting of ten brigadee, and for the purposes of the sham fight this force was divided, the first and second divisions forming the attacking party, and the remainder the defending party. The Artillery was commanded by Colonel Smyth, 0.13., Colonel Eaton commanding the Ar- finery of the attacking body. The four divisions of infantry were commanded as follows : first, Major-General Brownrig C.B. ; second, Major-General his Serene High ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, C.B. ; thir4 Major-General Carey, C.B. ; and fourth, Major-General Lvsons. C.B. Accounts have been received at Bombay of a de structive fire that took place at Compta, a cotton mart On the Malabar coast. An enormous loss of cotton is re'• ported. About 200 houses were destroyed. A well-dressed man on Saturday ascended to the top of the column at the Place de la Bastille, and, on arriving there, without a moment's delay, threw himself over the railing above. The body was dreadfully dis figured by the fall, and death instantaneous. STRIKES IN FRANCE.—Symptoms of as have been observed at the works and coal pits of Cora' mentr6 and B 6geux, which belong to the join -stock com pany of the ironworks of Chatillon and Cora mentre. The authorities believing a strike to be imminent have sent two squadrons of Lancers and a detachment of a regiment of the line to be on the spot• The strike at Fourchambaut presents nothing of impor tance. The condition of Creuzot continues to be satisfac tory, and more than seven hundred workmen have resumed their employments, which are carried on in the usual fashion. THE TURKISH LOAN.—The famous Turkish loan , for the construction of railways has drawn forth a torrent of the most virulent criticism in the continental press. The Austrian National Economist says on this subject :—" The projected undertaking is thoroughly destitute of founda tion, as well as of the conditions indispensable for its success. An empire going to its ruin, administered by a bankrupt Government never able to pay regularly its functionaries or its soldiers, guarantees to the subscribers 3 reimbursed capital of 792,000,000 f. for 281,000,000 f. which they really receive. The receipts of the railways are esti; mated upon the exportation of corn, sheep, and pigs, an d by the importation of manufactured' articles for the use of the Arnauts, Albanians, Bosniacs, and kindred poi/11 13 ' tions ' equally civilised the one as the other. The lines have to traverse countries whose inhabitants are far more disposed to attack the trains and plunder them of theii contents than to contribute in any way to the charges their construction. As to the projectors of the affair, they are men who offer no kind of guarantee and who cannot inspire any shade of confidence. And they even don' t trouble themselves to promise anything. When will 0 1 railways be constructed? what are the expectations ci bringing profits ? and when will the capital be reimbursed o —all these are details about which the alr,reholders are left to ask the Turkish Government." THE 111TARLAND TRlAL.—There line been grectz difficulty in obtaining jurors for the MTE,ria,nd trial r New York. As the name of each juror was c alled, 1.1 wa3 put through a series of questions, Lill av many cases the result of the scrutiny Was favourable. The chief objection that presented itself was the fact that so many o f th e j u rors had read vitriols! accounts of the affair in the different journals, and it w u r t feared their minds had be e n biassed, aid they could to' pronounce an impartial opinion.

A terrible catastrophe occurred three days back, in the works of the Linen Manufacturing Company at St. Gilles, in the environs of Brussels, by the explosion of a boiler in the drying house. Nearly twenty men or women were killed or frightfully scalded by the steam, and eight had already died at the moment of the last accounts. The factory was at the same time set on fire, but the flames did not extend beyond the building i n which they had commenced, but which was entirely de stroyed. THE INTERNATIONAL OCEAN YACHT RACE. Vice-Commodore J. G. Bennett, jun., sailed on Satill day for England, his mission being to supervise the refit ting of his yacht, the Dauntless, for the forthcoming internatianal ocean yacht race with the Cambria. Mr. Bennett intends to command his vessel in person. By his daring and perseverance in yatching matters he long since won the esteem and confidence of American yachtmen, anal in the present case, when he entered into an agreement with Mr. Ashbury simply as an American citizen, th. contract is the more heartily . applauded for being made by the representative American yachtman. While every member of every yacht club feels that Mr. Ben nett is the proper person to succeed to the high honour; following a victory in such a contest, there is a divided opinion as to whether the Dauntless is the vessel most likely to achieve a triumph. She is not yet held in such high esteem as her master. This being the case, the defeat of the Dauntless would not involve Dir. Bennett's !vestige in the least. In England, Mr. Ashbury's case is just the reverse. There the Cam. hria is regarded as the representative yacht, and Mr. Ashbury as her fortunate possessor. Should the Cambria win the race, and Mr. Ashbury command her in person, the vessel's success would never be regarded in England as due to his presence, while here the defeat of the Cambria would be pronounced the result of the seamanship of Mr. Bennett. As to the question of marine architecture, it affects the American interest only as to the model of one boat, while the art in England is to receive an im petus or a check. So much for the practical bearing of the race. The interest which it has awakened in both countries will increase as the day for setting sail ap proaches. By the 4th of July, the time the vessels are do leave Kinsale, Ireland, it will have reached a pitch of excitement which will find its culmination only when one of the vessels ingkes Sandy Hook Point.—New York Tri bune, April 4. A Parliamentary crisis has occurred at Melbourne, The Ministry have been defeated, and their resignation is expected. A pension of £lOOO a year has been voted to Lady Darling. The business of the Divorce and Probate Court during this term will be quite sufficient to engage the full attention of Lord Penzance, there being no less than 49 probate and 138 divorce suits, besides 14 of the latter, which stand over by consent. The Manchester Examiner says that a movement is on foot in the North and East Ridings with the view of securing for those districts the seats that would be vacated were the expected disfranchisement of Beverley to take place. It is stated that the Government commission of inquiry into the treatment and present condition of the Irish Fenian convicts will be presided over by the Earl of Devon.ebThe Hon. Geor,,o-e Charles Broderick, M.P. for Woodstock, and Mr. Do Vere, who for some time repre sented Limerick county on Liberal principles, are to be members in conjunction with an English and Irish physician, both of long standing and eminence in their profession. Private steamers between Malta and Marseilles which have hitherto sailed weekly, will hereafter only sail three times a month each way, the departures from Marseilles being fixed for the 7th, 17th, and 27th of the month. Mails intended for Malta will be made up on the mornings of the sth, 15th, and 25th of each month, with supplementary mails on the evenings of those dates. The Grand Lodge of the Independent Orange Association met in Belfast on Saturday, . and passed a resolution condemning the conduct of Sir Hervey Bruce, M.P. for Coleraine, in relation to the Land Bill, and in opposing the repeal of the Party Processions Act. Arrangements were made for joining with the inde pendent Orangemen of Coleraine in preventing the return of Sir Hervey at the next election. A considerable amount of satisfaction has been given the hands employed at Chatham dockyard by the announcement received from the Admiralty that any established workman recommended for discharge who has less than ten years' service will he awarded a gratuity of one month's pay ler every year of his service. This will enable the workmen so discharged to make the necessary arrangements for emigrating, should they be desirous of so doing. PORTUGAL. LISBON, April 18. Last night a hurricane swept over the Tagus, similar to tint which occurred in 1864. Great damage has been done to the shipping on the river, and it is believed that several lives have been lost. Many lighters laden with valuable cargoes are reported to have sunk. The British squadron did not suffer. GREECE. ATHENS, April 17. Lord Muncaster has been released by the bri gands. M. Frederick Vyner, Mr. Lloyd, a barrister, and Mr. Herbert, Secretary of Legation, are, how ever, still held by the brigands, who, in addition to a ransom, demand a full pardon. AMERICA. (By Cable).

The English Estancias suffered se verely, one hundred thousand sheep having been drowned. Rejoicings at Rio on account of the news of the death of Lopez lasted several days, and the city was illuminated. Further accounts state that Lopez, his son, and his Minister, were killed while endeavour ing to escape. Seventeen pieces of cannon were captured. When the Oneida sailed no further accounts of the death of Lopez had been received at Rio than that by the Tycho Brahe. INDIA. CALCUTTA, April 19. (By Indo-European Tetegraph). An influential meeting was held here yesterday in reference to the Budget, when resolutions were adopted denouncing the income tax, the large un controlled expenditure in England, and the system of charging extraordinary public works against the current revenue.
