H. Layard, M.P., to enable working men to visit the Paris Exhibition, a meeting was held on 'Thursday evening, at the Working Men's Club and Institute Union, 150, Strand, to receive a report from Mr. H. Pratt, a member of the Union Council. He had undertaken to visit Paris for the purpose of ascertaining what arrangements could be made to enable the excursion ists to see the Exhibition at a moderate cost. He stated that through the kindness of our ambassador, Lord Cowley, he had had an interview with the pre sident of the Exhibition Commission, M. Le Play, Councillor of State, who expressed the warmest in terest in the proposed visit of English workmen, and stated that they should have the full advantage of whatever arrangements might be made to facilitate the visits of French workmen from the provinces. He added that a commission had been appointed for the special purpose of enabling workmen to obtain board and lodging on moderate terms, as well as to obtain as much benefit as possible from their visit to the Exhibition. Through the kindness of Count L. Hugo and Dr. Louis, Mr. Pratt obtained an introduction to the President of this second Commission " For the Study of Labour, and the Encouragement of Workmen." This gentleman, M. Devinck, late Presi dent of the Tribunal of Commerce, and formerly a representative for Paris, promised most cordially that he would do everything in his power to assist the English excursionists, and that nothing would give him more pleasure than having an opportunity of showing his high regard for the workmen of this country. At his invitation Mr. Pratt attended an important meeting of this commission, when he was introduced to the several distinguished members of that body, M. Devinck informing him publicly, on behalf of his colleagues, that whatever facilities they could provide for French workmen should be afforded equally to foreigners. The commissioners then proceeded to consider what steps should be taken to enable working visitors to obtain their meals in the Exhibition at the lowest price compatible with due regard to quality, and a contract was concluded for this purpose, as well as for the erection of refreshment-rooms to accommo date 2,000 sitters. It was stated that an excellent dinner would be supplied for about if., as well as other meals. The more difficult question of pro viding sleeping accommodation is now under the consideration of this commission, and the secretary (M. Desvernay) has kindly promised to inform Mr. Pratt of the result of their deliberations. There is reason to believe that the Government is prepared to render most liberal assistance in this respect, and to provide accommodation for workmen at a merely nominal charge. Mr. Pratt also made careful inquiries as to the accommodation which might be obtained from private persons, and with this object he visited many of the suburbs, placing himself in communication with hotel keepers, house proprietors, and others. It appeared to him that, cons id er i ng th e very great difficulty of arranging for the accommodation of large bodies of visitors going simultaneously, it would be desirable to rent several flats or suites of rooms, unfurnished, for a period of three or four months, and to render them available for parties of from thirty to fifty persons coming weekly, and remaining a week— the period selected being after midsummer, when prices 'will probably be lower. This plan met with general approval in Paris ; and as the pro prietors of houses now ready would not let for so short a term, it was thought desirable to seek for the proprietors of houses now in course of construc tion, but which will be ready by midsummer. Apart ments in such houses could be had at moderate terms, and Mr. Pratt is in correspondence with two building companies on the subject. It will be easy to hire beds and furniture for these rooms at a small cost. As at present advised, Mr. Pratt be lieves that accommodation could thus be obtained at about Bs. a week for each person, but he is not pre pared as yet to speak positively on this point. lie proposes to return to Paris in March for the purpose of learning exactly the nature of the arrangements made by the authorities for the accommodation of foreign workmen, and of concluding such definite agreements with house proprietors and others as the committee may desire. The meeting concluded with a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Pratt for the labour and ex pense incurred, and with resolutions expressing the gratitude of the committee to Messieurs Le Play and Devinck for the very kind interest which they had shown in the proposed excursion of English work men. Members of clubs and others proposing to visit the Exhibition are invited to apply to Miss Horsbrugh, the treasurer ; or to Mr. W. 0. Pock lington, the secretary to the committee, at the offices of the W or ki ng M en ' s Cl u b an d I ns tit ute Union, 150, Strand. Two o'CLocx.

LATEST PARTICULARS—Tms EVENING. The operations of the diver has not led to the re covery of any more bodies to-day, but the following have to be added to the list of missing : John llarvey, 8, Grove-street, Lisson-grove. Isaac Bradley, of Aske-terrace, New North-road, Hoxton. The Coroner and Jury assembled this evening at Marylebone 'Workhouse, but the proceedi,:gs were confined to the identification of the 10 bodies reco vered since Wednesday evening to admit of the removal and burial of the bodies. After this had been done the inquiry was adjourned until Mon day morning, when the inquest will be resumed at the Maryleb:ne Court-house, at 10 o'clo'_lk; full report of which will appear in The Sun the same afternoon. The silent and dreary task of dragging the Ornamental Water was resumed this morning, but in place of the seven boats engaged in the work, three were in operation. The thermometer at 1 a.m. this morning gave five degrees of frost, and consequently the surface of the lake had become again covered with ice, which, as on former occa sions, had to be broken up before the couple or so of drags could be put in opera tion. It does seem remarkably strange that no action is taken by the public authorities in the matter. Here, on a sheet of water covering some acres in extent, from 50 to 60 persons most likely have perished, out of which, up to last night, 42 bodies have been recovered. That melancholy duty has devo:ved upon a few of the Humane Society's men, some eight or ten park-keepers, and about as many police-constables. Of course, the lapse of a number of days matters little to the poor people whose bodies are yet supposed to be under the ice, but the agony of the surviving relations ought to have been taken a little into consideration and more efficient steps taken to clear the water of ice to allow the search to be made as rapidly as possible. A few hours after the acci dent we pointed out one means that might have been adopted, as the great impediment to all attempts at recovering the bodies, has been the thick, hard surface of ice which day by day has had to be broken up by very primitive and insig nificant means. Thousands of men, unfortunately now out of work, would have been glad of employment had it been offered them, and thus instead of 30 men, 300 could have been put to work, and by this means the whole of the water could have been searched certainly within a couple of days. The aid of five or six of the Royal Engineers at Woolwich could, had it been so ordered, have been obtained, and we have confidence enough in the skill of that talented corps to imagine that they would soon have de stroyed a surface of ice, which, with their practical knowledge, would be looked upon as insignificant. One or two of the celebrated torpedoes judiciously placed would have soon scattered it into a million pieces, and then, this having been done, the com paratively easy task of removing it from the surface could have speedily been performed. However such has not been the course taken. A party of Thames fishermen this morning at tended with their nets, and expressed their utmost willingness to endeavour to recover some of the missing bodies by that means, but they were not afforded any facility, or allowed to put their generous offer into operation. Mr. lleincke, the eminent submarine engineer, attended this morning with one of his divers and apparatus, with a view, if possible, of ascertaining whether any bodies were lying in particular spots. This offer was the only one accepted, and steps were then taken to put it into ope ration. The air pump was put on board one of the punts, and Mr. Ileiucke's brave assis tant descended—for brave he must have been to undertake the task of going to the bottom of the lake, the surface of which was covered with ice,' with a thermometer standing at 29, and with the expectation of seeing 10 or 12 of the poor people whom it is expected have been lying there since Tuesday night. At a few minutes to 12 the preparations were completed, and when the diver made his appearance in the waterproof suit the greatest excitement became apparent on the banks on both sides of the water. A slight cheer broke forth when the silvery iooking helmet, which glistened like a mirror in the bright sunshine, was placed over his head, and then in a minute . or so he disappeared beneath the water at a spot in the broadest part, where a number of persons had been struggling when the ice broke, and where it was impossible to render them any assistance. After remaining beneath the water for about 10 minutes, the diver came to the surface, and reported that none of the bodies of the missng persons were lying at the particular spot he had visited ; the mud, however, was very thick, and this impedi ment, it was thought, would prove a groat obstruc tion to the search. The diver again descended, but, after an absence of ten minutes he came above with the same intelligence that nothing was to be seen lying on the thick and clammy bot tom of the water. It is proposed to con tinue the search at other portions of the water, the result of which we shall publish in our late edition. Up to the time of going to press no addition, be yond that published by us last night, had been made to the list of bodies recovered, but to the list of missing we have to add the following, whose de scriptions have been given to Mr. Douglas, at Marylebone Workhouse : A labouring man, lodging with Mr. Whetwell, 14, Castle-street East. Theophilus Paget, 22, of 14, York-road, King's cross. This person left his lodgings with the ex press intention of going on the ice. Mr. John Summons, 26, of 43, Great Portland street, went from home with the intention of skating. Mr. John Dyer, 20, lieutenant Royal Marine Artillery. Frederick Peake, 20, of 48, Charlton-street, Somers-town. Charles Pitt, 30, medical student, of Bradford, Yorkshire. Amongst the list of missing was the name of Benjamin Isaacs, of 24, Francis-street, Tottenham-' court, but his relatives this morning sent a brief note to Mr. Douglaq, stating that he had " turned up all right," without any further information. The deaths resulting from the aocident have un fortunately not been confined to those who perished by drowning. A gentleman residing in Sussex terrace, Regent's Park, facing the water, who saw the accident, expired this morning, his death having been produced by the shock his nervous system re ceived that fatal evening. Of courss no person has been allowed to venture on the ice to-day. SHOCKING AFFAIR IN A BALL-ROOM.--A shock ing scene occurred at a ball at Thurmaston, near Lociester, on Wednesday night. It seems that the ball had not long begun when the dress of ono of the ladies caught fire through being brought into too close contact with the fire grate. Becoming terrified by her situation, she rushed about the room and ignited the dresses cf three other ladies, which, being of such slight material, were speedily in a blaze. Mr. Jacques, house surgeon of the Leicester Infir mary, who happened to be one of the party, aided by others, extinguished the flames as quickly as possible, but not be fore the ladies had been considerably burnt, two of them seriously so. Their injuries were at once attended to, but they are not yet pronounced out of danger. During the gale which prevailed in Paris last Saturday a pavilion, four stories high, in course of erection in the Champ de Mars, intended for the exhibition of the products of llolland, was blown down. None of the workmen were hurt. The total receipts of the theatres, concerts, balls, and other places of amusement in Paris during the month of December, amounted to 2,019,708 f., being an increase of 183,827 f. on the month of Novem ber, I%IINING MARKET.

BILLIARDS. THE TOURNAMENT AT ST. JAMES'S HALL. Mr. W. Dufton's groat billiard handicap was brought to a successful termination yesterday evening. There wore upwards of 400 gentlemen present, and amongst them a groat number of racing celebrities and members of the aris tocracy, all of whom seemed deeply interested in the pro gress of the game, for which a beautiful tea and coffee service of plate of five pieces, weighing 104 oz. 12dwts., was given as the prizo. The arrangements throughout the week, and the appointments of the room by Mr. Donald, were everything that could be wished for. It may not be out of place here to give a slight résumé of the preceding heats : First Heat.—J. Roberts, jun., 25, won a very interesting game of 32 points, 38 being thelongest break ; W. Moss, of Manchester, 110, being his opponent. Second Heat.—J. Roberts (champion), owe 100, and Digges 135. The former won very easily, and at the close of this heat £2O to £lO was laid on the champion's chance for the handicap. Third Heat.—J. Bennett, 10; and G. Mulberry, 70.

Davis, 70, won by 98 points, beating G. Ade, 130, the former having made two breaks of 39 each during this heat. Sixth Heat.— T. Ottaway, 130; and H. Evans, 70. Sel dom has there been seen such an exciting game as took place between the above two ; at one time Evans was up wards of 100 points behind, but by groat perseverance and fine play he eventually succeeded in winning by a couple of points, amid loud cheering. Third Night's Play and Seventh Heat.—John Herst, 10; and A. Hughes, 70. The former won a very good game by 100 points ; lierst's largest break was 81. Eighth heat.—W.

After three misses on both sides Evans raised his scorn to 107 to Roberts' 37 ; the formor, by a break of 33, stood at 156, when he fluked a shot, and Roberts, who had been rather unlucky, had only reached 102. Evans now put on 14, shortly followed by 71 and 19, and the game was called Evans 256, Roberts 127. When the latter was 128 ho made a fine break of 40, and stood at 168 to Evans's 279, he having just had a break of 22. Roberts now began to pick up wonderfully, and by some very clever play and a break of 63 to 331, he ultimately won by 101 points. J. Roberts (champion) Owe 100, and G. Davis.—Tho former gave two misses to Davis's one, and the latter ran on by little breaks to 90 to Roberts's 45, when the champion put together a break of 30, when Davis missed, and Roberts added 25, making his score 100 to Davis's 90, the former having paid his debt. Davis now went in, and by a break of 18 made his figures 108, when both missed a shot, and Roberts, by breaks of 20 and 12, got to 36 to Davie's 110. The former now wont in, and by breaks of 12, 46, 19, 37, and 26, his score stood at 243 to his opponent's 199, ho having made 33 in his last break.

The "young 'un" now came away with a break of 54, which made him 237, to his father's 60, the latter having made 31 in his last breaks. The son of the champion, by a break of 58, reached 317, to Roberts, sen.'s, 142. ho former, by some fine play, now stood at 347, to his father's 222, ho having made 9 spot hazards in his last break, which he soon fol lowed by another of 18. Game—Roberts, son., 241; Roberts, jun., 386. The " old 'un" then ran on to 266, then to 303. Ms son, however, won by 97 points. Mr. W. Dufton made a few appropriate remarks, and presented the plate to Mr. J. Roberts, Jun. J. C. Pointer called and marked the game in a very cre ditable manner. DEATII OF Mn. C. PECK, SEN.—Mr. C. Peck, the Yorkshire trainer, died somewhat unexpectedly at his residence, Grove House, near Mallon, on the morn ing of Wednesday last. He was in his sixty-ninth year, and had spent the greater part of his trainer life at Mahon. He had at no time a very large stable of horses, and never that we can remember "a real clinker." Neither Derby Oaks, nor St. Leger ever fell to his lot, but he was twice second for the St. Leger —with Miss Sarah in 1845 and again with Regalia in 1865. Ho was also third for it with Sir Richard Bulkeley's Hookem Snyvvoy, in Newminster's year. The baronet's horses were under his charge for several seasons, and he put the Champagne Stakes, with Tasmania, and the Great Yorkshire Stakes, with Old Dan Tucker, to the credit of "the brown body and white seams." The latter race only fell to his lot with Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah, and ho won it in 1859 with his own horse Napoleon, by Yoltigcur. For some time past he had not been in strong health, and he looked more after the brood mares, one of which, Bernice, by Stockwell, out of Braxoy, he sold at a long price last summer, to Sir Tattoo Sykes. One of his sons continues his training business at Grove House, and the other is private trainer to Lord Stamford, at Divine. Deceased will be buried at Malton on Monday next.

THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Jan. 18.—From the offers in the shipping yarn market, it is believed that a considerable amount of business might have been done to-day, but spinners hay been asking lather higher rates. This has checked busi ness, and the market has been rather quiet. There had been some little improvement in the tone of this portion of the market on Wednesday and yesterday, but it appears to have been hardly maintained to-day. There is no new feature in the cloth-market since Tuesday; if anything, it was influenced rather for the worse by the early telegrams this morning from the Liverpool cotton-market. There has been some inquiry, and a little business, but the offers generally have been at the lowest rates, and at 4, most ruinous scale for manufacturers ; but even at these terms buyers do not seem disposed to operate except :or small quantities. Indeed, the business for cloths to-day Las been entirely of a retail character. A telegram front Liverpool announces that the Cotton Brokers' Association have passed theirresolutions with respect to payments for cotton. It will be recollected that the cotton brokers put forth a cor respondence on this subject. The proposal, with some modi fications, was agreed to by the Manchester Cotton Spinners' Association, and by the trade. The recommendation, as passed to-day by the brokers, is, "Payments iu cash within 10 days, less lj< per cent. discount, and that interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be charged or allowed when the payment is made before or after the due date of invoice." There aro several exceptional and other features of the mar ket worthy of note at the present moment. One of them is the insufficiency of coal, owing to the long-continued frost, to keep all the industrial establishments at work. Not only have cotton factories and machine shops had to stand for want of coal, but it has been doubtful if some of the trains on one of our principal railways would not have to be dis continued. This, of course, is partly due to the freezing of canals and to the strikes of colliers. Coals are always a heavy item of expense to millowners, and the fact that some of them are now obliged to pay greatly enhanced prices for fuel and oil is one to which serious consideration is duo in estimating the difficulties to which manufacturers and spinners are subjected at the present date, when many of them, owing to the high price of cotton and the languid demand fur cotton goods, are losing from lid to 2id per lb on every pound of cloth they sell. The loss at present is mostly on the spEnning, and hence those who purchase their yarns and manufacture cloth aro losing less than those who are spinners only. There is nothing like a gene ral attempt to reduce the wages of operatives. The cost of making a 71b T cloth, including cotton and everything, is 19d or 20d per lb. The cost in wages will be about 2i-d per lb ; and hence the relief to the manufacturers to be gained by a reduction in this item of 21A by 5 per cent. is too in considerable to demand much attention. The oscillations in the price of cotton, amounting not unfrequently to 2d or 3d per lb. in a few weeks, are much more serious and perplexing affairs. Another new feature of the trade is the import of Belgian cloth into the market. There are some not inconsiderable lots of cloth made in Belgium in the warehouses of Manchester merchants at the present moment. They aro of the class of goods called heavy domestics, and which enter into the home consumption of the country. Whether they can be made at a price (the quality is good enough) to enter into permanent competition with our own manufacturers remains to be seen. BARNSLEY, 18th.—At present there is no improvement to note in the iron trade of South Yorkshire, but a more hopeful feeling prevails, and it is expected that in a short time a revival will take place and that orders that have been held in abeyance will be given out. The reduction in the rate of wages at the Parkgate Works was to have been as high as 25 per cent. in some branches, but the pro prietors have engaged to make a general reduction of 10 par cent. throughout the trade, and on this understanding the men have resolved to resume work. As the other men employed at the Northfield, Midland, and Milton works resolved to abide by the decision of the Parkgate work men, whatever that decision might be, it is probable that in a few days the works will resume their wonted appearance. At the Wombwell Main Colliery the men are on strike for a cwt. taken off the ton, which, if done, will bring the weight to the proper ton of 20 cwt. RES FOR 1867. TARY.

The Bolivar went from England to the port of Laguayra, in Venezuela, for the services of that re public, and when it was found that the Venezuelan Government declined to fulfil the contract made with the crew in London, the men took possgssion of the vessel and sailed with her out of port for " an unknown destination," as reported by the British Minister in his representa tions to the Government of the United States. This event--the sailing—took place in the beginning of November. As the Bolivar was armed, it was thought that the crew might commit depredations at sea. The vessel was short of co al and provisions.
