Dr. Lankester writes regarding Extract of Meat :—" But there is a difference in flavour, and here, as in all other kinds of food, it is the flavour that makes the quality." It is essentially on account of the fine meaty flavour, as distinguished from the burnt taste of other Extracts, that LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT defeated all Australian and other sorts at Paris, Havre, and Amsterdam, and is so universally preferred in all European markets.

OPENING OF THE WORKMEN'S INTERNA TIONA.I. EXHIBITION. Islington was on Saturday graced with Royal countenance, on the occasion of the opening of the Worl&nen's International Exhibition by his Royal High ness he Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family. The notion of holding such an exhibi tion has been before the public for some years, and !has been brought to a successful issue by the Working Men's Club and Institute Union. The committee for carrying it out were appointed at a meeting held lhst year in St. Panesas Vestry-hall, and no time has been lost in interesting the various centres of industry not only throughout Great Britain but throughout the civilished world, in the importance of the under taking. Contributions of articles of manufacture and art were requested, and to this appeal a most liberal response has been made, the exhibition just inaugurated being a capital collection of representative labour. The articles are displayed to the best advantage in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, a building which, besides accommodating the art and indus trial treasures, affords room for thirty thousand visitors at a time. In order that the exhibition, in addition to the ordinary purposes of other exhibitions, should serve, as far as poSsible, the purpose of a school Of technical education, the committee have arranged for all articles exhibited to be 'signed by the workmen engaged in their production, which is expected to encourage good workmanship, and revive that personal interest and pride which men formerly took in the objects created by their own hands, and which have been lessened by the system of divided labour. It is proposed to have lectures given in explana tion of the various processes of manufacture, in order that artizan visitors may have an opportunity of advan tageously contrasting the English and foreign methods. Medals and certificates of merit will be awarded to suc cessful competitors, and in certain special cases these will be supplemented by money prizes. Manufacturers will also receive certificates of merit whenever the general result of the labour combined in the article exhibited attains the required standard of excellence ; but it is a condition of an em ployer exhibiting that, in addition to his own name, he shall attach to each article the names of all workmen employed upon it. Local committees in the large pro vincial towns, and also in Italy and Germany, have aided materially in the proper carrying out of the excellent ideas embodied in the project. The general effect on entering the principal hall of the Exhibition is a very pleasing, one the various articles shewn and the decorative drapery presenting an imposing appearance. The international character of the display is at once seen, by the productions of the various nations being classified under the national colours, which are hung around in great profusion. Beneath them we find contri butions from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Bavaria, and the United States of America. These include models of many meritorious inventions ; specimens of locomotive machinery, including bicycles, car riages, and apparatus for communicating between_ passengers and guards ; swords and firearms, sewing machines, steam engines, and other machinery ; wood carving, vases, busts, and other decorative subjects, cabinets, screens, panels, and all sorts of furniture ; jewellery and ornamental metal work, glass and china, building appliances, lace, wax flowers, cases of insects, needlework and other fancy work, articles for per sonal and domestic use, scientific apparatus, leather and textile fabrics, food and raw mate rials, oil and water colour paintings, pen and ink drawings, and various articles of vertu. Besides these, a number of valuable paintings, by ancient and modern masters; have been lent for the occasion by gen-. tlemen interested in the undertaking. In looking through the collection some amusement may be derived from the odd association of incongruous objects, and in the Italian court a hypercritical mind might discover a hidden meaning in the bust of "II 114 Galan tuomo " and the statue of Garibaldi being placed back to back. But whatever may be thought of small matters, all will agree in a feeling of admiration for the unofficial " Reciprocity Treaty," which has operated to produce so interesting an Exhibition, and which is expected to realise so beneficial a result. The streets leading to the Hall were thickly lined with people, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the Royal party on their way to or from the exhibtion. Within. the building about 5,000 __persons were hambled to witness the inaugural ceremony, Which took place at three o'clock. At that tune, a merry peal from a set of miniature bells announced that the distinguished guests had arrived, and the officials ushered on to the platform his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prince and Princess of Teck, and Lord Bridport. There were also present the Nawab Nazhn of Bengal, the Rajah of Bbahipore, the Marquis 13'Azeglio Sir Antonio Brady, Sir John Hall, the Hon. Auberon Herbert, the Right Hon. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. Bass, M.P., &c. The Royal party were loudly cheered on taking their places on the platform ; and the orchestra, conducted by Mr. R. G. Wesley, performed the National Anthem. Mr. J W. Probyn, one of the hon. secretaries, then read the following address : " May it please your Royal Highness,—The committee and council of the Workmen's international Exhibition desire to express their most respectful and sincere thanks to your Royal Highness, as representing her most gracious Majesty the Queen, at the opening of this Exhibition. Your presence here to-day is hailed as a proof of the deep interest always taken by our beloved Sovereign and the members of the Royal Family in everything which tends to promote the welfare and improvement of the people. The promoters of the Workmen's International Exhibition sought especially to stimulate and reward individuai skill and intelligence by attaching to every article exhibited the naines of all the workmen concerned in making it, as well as the names of the firms in whose factory it may have been manufactured. Whenever the employer has in any way aided the workmen in the making of any article for this exhibition, the names both of employers and workmen are attached to the article. Thus to each one is rendered the honour due to him ; while the great principle of the union which should ever exist . between capital_ and labour is upheld—a union essentially neces sary for the well-being both of the employers and em ployed. Foreign nations have been cordially invited to join in this workmen s exhibition, which seeks not only to promote the honour of individual skill, but also to unite different classes, and different nations in the ennobling effort to excel in the production of works of industry and art. It is with great pleasure that the committee and council acknowledge the friendly promptitude with which various foreign nations have accepted the invitation thus addressed to them. This is well attested by the variety and number of foreign exhi bitors, who form so interesting and instructive a part of this Exhibition. Such union and such friendly competition between various individuals, classes, and nations, cannot but promote that good-will, civilization, and progress, whose cause nn man ever had more at heart than your Royal Highnesses august father, the late Prince Consort. And that same cause which he served so faithfully and well during his life, it is our earnest desire to further, with God's blessing, by this Workmen's International Exhibi tion, graciously inaugurated by your Royal Highness this day.' His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales having re ceived the address replied as follows : " Gentlemen,—l thank you for your address, and cam assure you that it is with very great pleasure that under take the duty imposed upon me by the Queen in opening this exhibition. The objects proposed in it are such as cannot fail to meet with the cordial approval of all who are interested in the growth of our arts and manufactures, and who wish to connect that growth! with a corresponding increase of sympathy and friendly, relations between employers and workmen. In imparting to this exhibition an international character, you have sought to extend the range of good which may result from it, and by inviting friendly competitions between our workmen and those of foreign nations, not only to afford a wholesome stimulus to both in the exercise of their various callings, but to contribute, as far as you can, to that kind of , intercourse between countries which must in the end prove the principal security for the peace of the world. The allusion which you have made to my . beloved father (who would doubtless have regarded this Exhibition with the liveliest interest, and the, natural supplement of that first one with which his name is especially connected), will be as affecting as it must be gratifying to the Queen. It will be my agree able duty to report the proceedings of the day, and I have only now, in her name, to wish success to the under taking." Sir Antonioßrady, after alluding to the war-cloud now hovering over Europe, and contrasting the peaceful character of the rivalry shewn in the exhibition before them, said that a letter had been received from the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone, the president .of the undertaking, expressing regret that attendance at a Cabinet Council would prevent him being present. They would 41 equally regret the absence of the Premier, who took so warm an interest in all that concerned the class now engaged in honourable rivalry. A choir than sang the Doxology, after which the Royal party were conducted through the exhibition, and fre quently expressed their admiration at what they beheld. On returning to the platform, a congratulatory ode was sung ; - but the vocalists who had been engaged for a grand chorus were unable to take part, owing to a prohibition from using the upper portion of the platform, on account of its alleged insta bility. The musical programme was therefore judiciously curtailed, and the Prince of Wales having formally de clared the exhibition opened, and again expressed to the officials the pleasure it had given him to be present, the, Royal party retired amidst enthusiastic cheers. In addition to the Exhibition, the annual conference of delegates from working men's clubs and institutes was held in one of the rooms connected with the hall, under the presidency of the Right lion. the Earl of Lichfield. Various Riatters of interest to the clubs were discussed by the delegates present, and papers were read in connection with the movement. .

CHARLES P. ALLEN, Treasurer of Middlesex, MR. MORTIMER COLLINS' NEW NOVEL. Now ready at all the libraries, in 3 vols., THE VIVIAN ROMANCE. BY MORTIMER COLLINS.. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough.street. Now published, "FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR." A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE Ss. "It is a straightforwardly and :,ometirnes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, cus t oms, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl ring. Foi intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender a book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this hook we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, - and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." -- Sun " Fjord, isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. • "Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, Just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to back Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of 'matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well ' got up.' " Eastern Morning News. We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. "The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

THE CARLISLE RAILWAY CATASTROPHE.— The body of Mr. Little.'s son, who was killed -in the recent serious collision near Carlisle, was buried on Friday in London, having been brought up to Brompton for the purpose. Mr. Little, the father, is still confined to his bed, from cuts and bruises received in the same collision, and his second son, John, is progressing favour ably.

THE CONSTRUCTORSHIP OF THE NAVY. We believe that, though Mr. Reed's resignation was formally tendered and formally accepted, the question of his leaving the admiralty is still unsettled. How such a singular position has arisen may be told in a few words. During the long interval that ensued before Ir. Reed's resignation was accepted the Franco-Prussian difficulty arose, and Mr. Reed at onto telegraphed-4o the Admi ralty if his retirement at such a time would in any way inconvenience them, or if they thought his . services would' be better employed on the English navy, he would at once withdraw his resignation,land return to Whitehall. 'There seems little doubt now that the country will not loss the benefit of his services, though, in a ,pecuniary point of view Mr. Reed will be a considerable loser by the abandonment of his engagement with Sir J. Whitworth. Pall Mall Gazette. On this subject the Army and Navy "Gazette says there is to be no fresh Chief Constructor, at allevents for the pre sent. A committee, consisting of Captain Hood. R.N., the Chief of the Naval Ordnance Department, Messrs.' Barnaby, Barnes, and Crossland, a staff commander (far stowage purposes), and a medical officer (far sanitary questions), will be established, and all matters referring to the construction of ships will be referred to and decided by them. The announcement in the Pall Mall Gazette is later than the one made by the proiessiotual journal. THE ARMY JOURNALS ON THE WAR. The Army and Navy Gazette says that at the present time France is assuredly the best prepared for battle, but Prussia has the largest and surest reserve. The United Service Gazette says :—The probability is that the French armies will attempt the invasion of Prussia, and that the French fleets will act against the Baltic forts. What Prussia will do it is not so easy to guess, but we have little doubt but that Counts Bismarck and Moltke have their plan of campaign in a tolerable state of forwardness. It is rumoured that France has secured the neutrality of Italy by withdrawing the French garrison from Rome, an act which will probably be followed by much more important action on the part of the Italians than the debates of the (Ecumenical Council. If Spain has- been .a consenting party to the candidature of Prince Leopold, her strength, such as it is, will, of course, be thrown into the scale with Prussia. What Austria will do is for more impor ant, and we must not forget that without firing a shot she gave France and England most valuable co-operation in the Crimean war. By keeping up a strong army of observation in the Principalities she kept the attention of a large Russian army constantly on the stretch, and to that extent weakened the defensive strength of the northern Leviathan. She may do Prussia a similar good turn now somewhere in the immediate neighbourhood of the recent conquests of the latter. Politicians seem to think that the eye of England will be more particularly fixed upon Belgium, as the absorption of that little kingdom by either of the belligerents would be certainly opposed to our Continental policy. There is a vague impression abroad that we may yet have to "strike in," in which case the best advice we can glve to our naval and military authorities is to lose no time in setting their houses in order. THE ARMY AND NAVY. The Army and Nary Gazette says—Meetings of the Military Education Commission have been held during the past week. The final report of the commission is now nearly completed, and will shortly be submitted to her Majesty.—The Board of Admiralty, in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Trevelyan, now consists of Mr. Childers, Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, Vice- Admiral Sir R. Spencer Robinson, Captain Lord John Hay, M.P., and the Earl of Camperdown, who will be awarded £l,OOO per annum.—The Coastguard Squadron, under the command of Com modore G. 0. Willes, C. 8., proceeded to sea from Port land on Thursday morning, and will make Bantryßay its rendezvous.—Captain Stanhope, R.N., has arrived in England, and will at once undertake the ckities of private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty.— Lieutenant-General Sir William Mansfield's staff. in Ire land will consist of Colonel E. Fellowes, unattached, Military Secretary, and Captain J. Crealock, 95th .Regiment, and Lieutenant G. S. Byng, Rifle Brigade, aides -de - camp, and perhaps and extra aide -de - camp who may be Tireafter appointed.— "Twenty-six iron-clads actually in commission," quite ready for any work by August 1, and seven or eight more to back them, with men enough to work and fight them. Such is Sir Sydney Dacre's account of our naval condition, and a very good one it is. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur is expected to arrive at Ports mouth, en route from Canada, in H.M.S. Crocodile within the next day sr two. His Royal Highness left Montreal on the 7th instant. The Broad Arrow says :—The report of the Royal Com misioners on the Army Purchase Question, is deemed to be insufficient, and has been referred back for reconsi. deration.----There will from the Ist of August next be only two military districts in Ireland, the Dublin and Cork Districts. The divisional command at Dublin and the. Curragh will be abolished on the same date, when Major-General Sir A. A. T. Cunyncharne, 5.C.8., will vacate his appointment ; Major-General W. S. Newton, who has lately terminated a short service at Malta as Major-General on the staff, will be appointed to .the command of the Dublin District, and will likewise command a brigade.—Captain Stirling, the newly-appointed Commodore of the Australian Squad ron, will meet the Duke of Edinburgh at the Cape of Good Hope. His Royal Highness from that date is to receive no more royal salutes, but is to be treated, se we learn from the Madras Mail, precisely as any ordinary Captain in the Navy. The cocked kat is doomed. Lord Napier has ordered that the new pattern of staff helmet, prescribed for the lilt neral staff of the army, is to supersede the cocked hat on all occasions., except when otherwise ordered.. METROPOLITAN AMATEUR REGATTA. For the fifth successive year the Metropolitan Regatta has been held on the Putney water, and under the super intendence of the London Rowing Club, was brought to a conclusion on Friday. The racing commenced at a quar ter past one, and terminated about eight o'clock. The list of entries was a tolerably lengthy one, and taken alto gether the sport was very good. The great race of the day, the Metropolitan Champion Cup for eight-oared crews, produced a splendid contest between the London Rowing Club crew, who were the holders of the Piize, and the crew of the Kingston Rowing Club, in which might have been observed several University oarsmen of great reputation. The London crew as is their custom, came away with the lead ; but were overtaken and passed by Kingston before they had rowed half a mile. The latter having once obtained the lead, never forfeited it, although hard pressed by London after completing a mile of the course. Ultimately, the Kingston crew won cleverly by a length. The next race, of more than ordi nary importance, was that for the Senior Fours, crews of the London, Thames, and Kingston. Clubs coming to the post. The Thames four, who are usually quick in getting away, went off with a commanding lead, but were overtaken and passed by both their opponents, the Kingston four winning without difficulty by a couple of lengths from London, who, in their turn, were a similar distance ahead of the Thames crew. The Champion Pairs produced no competition, Corrie and Hall, of the Kingston Club rowing over the course. The Senior Scullers' Race resulted in a surprise, as it was by common consent allotted to Mr. Yarborough, of the Kingston and Oxford University Boat Clubs ; but he was defeated cleverly by Air. W. L. Slater, of the Thames 'Rowing' Club, who gained a long lead soon after the start, and was never headed. The win ner it not entered to row for the Windfield Sculls next Monday, although the loser is ; but t is just possible that over a longer course than that between Putney. and Hammersmith Mr. Yar borough's staying powets may stand him in good stead. The Junior Eights were won by the Tao Rowing Club after a capital race with a crew of the London Rowing Club ; the Junior Fours by the London Club ; the Junior Pairs by Messrs. G. C. and F. G. Ommanny, of the Barnes Regatta Club ; and the Junior Sculls by Mr. F. Chappell, of Brasenose College, Oxford. The weather was very fine, and the course was kept as clear of craft as it could be without stopping the river traffic altogether. Mr. Lord, the Superintendent of the Thames Con servancy, and the river police did their duty most satis factorily. HEALTH OF SCOTLAND.—The monthly return for the eight principal towns of Scotland again shews a morta lity belciw -the average. The Registrar-General reports 2,111 deaths registered in June, - being 141 below the June average for the previous ten years, allowing for increase of population. The deaths, however, reachd the annual ratio of 25 per thousand in Edinburgh and 27 in Glasgow, Leith, and Aberdeen, so that there is still room enough for improvement. Only 16 . 5 per cent. of the mortality was caused by zymotic (epidemic and contagious) diseases—a rate so low as to be almost unprecedented ; 39 per cent. of the deaths were of children under five years of age. Scarlatina caused 67 deaths, fevers 89, hooping-cough 68, diarrhoea 55, cholera 4 smallpox 4, diphtheria 12. The .deaths from consumption did not fall in proportion to other classes of disease, but amounted to 16 per cent. of the mortality, and the deaths from inflammatory affections of the respiratory organs other 15 per cent., without includ ing hooping-cough and croup. The marriages registered in the eight towns were 1,347, the greatest number re corded in any month since civil registration commenced in 1855. , The births were 3,591. The temperature of the month was not remarkable, but the mean was a fraction above the average ; the highest temperature was 80.5 deg. at Aberdeen. The mean humidity was above the average of the last fourteen years, but the mean rainfall was only 1.63 inch, being 1.01 inch below the average. The distri bution of the rain seems peculiar ; Edinburgh, with 2'70 inches, being highest on the list, Greenock registering only I'9l inch, and that with a wind generally blowing from the weft; but inclining slightly to the north. The smallest observellidtpth cif•rain• was at Paisley; where-'it reached only 0 . 90 inch. PRICE STAMPED 2d. BUSINESS IN PARLIAMENT. This evening the Post Office Bill will be recommitted, and the Parliamentary Elections Bill will come on for second reading. The Mines Regulation and Inspection Bill, and the Pilotage Bill are also recommitted, and the two legal measures—High Court of Justice and Appel late Jurisdiction Bills are fixed for second reading. To-morrow the Education Bill will be considered as amended ; and at the evening. sitting Mr. Gregory will make a motion that the new Law Courts be proceeded with without delay. The Sunday Trading Bill will come on for committee, and there will be an adjourned debate on corrupt practices at elections. For Wednesday the repeal of the Contagious Diseases - Act and the Sale of Liquors on Sun day Bills are down for debate, and so is the Game Laws Abolition - Bill. On Thursday the Lodgers' Goods Protec tion Bill will be considered in committee.' On Friday Mr. Thomas Hughes' Horse Racing Measure is to come on. THE srom ON SATURDAY MORNING. On Saturday morning, about 4 o'clock, the metropolis and suburban districts were visited by a storm of lightning, thunder and rain—the most violent gtormlhat has oc curred during the present season. During the previous day and last night the weather had been exceedingly warm and the air heavy, clearly showing that the clouds were fully charged with electricity, so that when the storm set in, any one who studies meteorological changes were not at all surprised by being awakened from their slumbers by a noise resembling the discharging of a park of artil lery. This was caused by a clap of thunder, the noise of which could be heard reverberating in the distance for nearly 35 seconds. Flash after flash of sheet and forked lightning followed, accompanied at intervals vary ng from two to three seconds by loud and fearful roars of thunder. Rain then commenced to fall in such torrents as to completely cover the principal streets. As far as the City and Westminster are concerned the storm does not appear to have done any mischief worth recording, beyond the mere fact of rendering some of the principal thorough fares impassable, owing to the accumulation of water. Men who were sweeping the roads were set to work in clearing the gratings leadir , to the sewers, and the water by that means was enabled to pass away and flush the sewers. At the Northern portion of London the lightning did a great deal of mischief and num bers of sheep 'grazing in the the Regent's Park were killed by the eleltric fluid. A man driving a pony in a cart, near the Highgate Cemetery, was rendered insen sible, but his brother, who was riding with him, not having received any injury, procured some buckets of cold water, and by dashing the cold liquid into his face he soon recovered, so as to be able to renew his journey to the new meat market at Smithfield. Several chimney. Pots in the same district were shattered, and a fine labur nam tree, growing in one of the gardens in Lisson-grove, North ; yet as far as inquiries made at the different Police-stations, no human person appears to have been killed. Upon the ending of the storm the atmosphere became much cooler and less oppressive, and there is no doubt but the storm has done a great deal of gold to the crops as well as to th 4 public health. THE TROOPS FOR INDIA. The following are the dates fixed for the departure of the regiments under orders for India. As the whole of these corps are now serving in Ireland, they will embark at Queenstown. The 89th Regiment will be the first to leave, and will embark in H. M. S. Crocodile on September 30, completing the voyage on the other side of the Isthmus in the Jumna, and reaching Bombay on November 1. The 63rd Regiment will leave in the Serapis on October 7, be transferred to the Euphrates at Suez, and reach Bombay on November 8. These are the only two regiments which will embark this year. The three next voyages will be for the conveyance of drafts, and the troops comprising them will embark at Portsmouth. The crocodile will leave that port on November 15, the Serapis on November 22, and the Crocodile again on January 1, 1871. Three other regiments will embark early next year, viz., the 65th on January 10 in the Serapis, finally reaching Bombay in the Malabar on February 11 ; the 72nd in the Crocodile on February 20, to be transferred to the Jumna at Suez, and arriving at Bombay on March 24, and the 56th in the Serapis on February 28, completing the voyage in the Euphrates, which is due at Bombay on April 1. The order in which the regiments will embark at Bombay to return to England will be 95th, 88th, 103rd, Ist Battalion, 7th, and Ist battalion, IsThoyals. THE REPORTED ACCIDENT TO THE HOLBORN VIADUCT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,- -We should esteem it a favour if you would inform the public in your next issue that the reported alarming accident •to the Holborn Viaduct is entirely without foundation. A slight leakage from the defective socket of a small water main, running under the bridge in Farringdon-road, was discovered at midnight by our watchman, and is being remedied in the usual way ; but the main in question has no connection.with the -Viaduct, and it is simply impos sible that any damage could arise to the piers of the bridge from such a cause.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, HILL, ICEDDELL, and - WALDRAM, Contractors. 38, Kingsland-road, E., July 16th, 1870. Mr. Charles James Fox is announced as a Con servative candidate for Rochester. The reductions in the number of hands em ployed at Pembroke Dock continue, a number having been discharged last week on superannuation or allow ances. We (John Bull) hey that Mr. Hawkins, the Eng lish chaplain at Baden Baden, has expressed his willing ness to succeed Mr. Archer Gurney in the chapel iu the Cour des Coches at Paris. A. number of massive iron armour-plates have arrived at Pembroke dock for the ironclad ship-of-war Thunderer, now in course of building. They have been manufactured at Sheffield. MIL MILBANK, M.P.—We (Yorkshire Post) re gret to learn that Mr. Milbank has been prevented by severe indisposition from attending the House of Com mons since Monday last. The owner of a little country public-house close by the Great Western Rail*ay, between Moulsford and, Goring, has recovered £2OO damages from the com pany in consequence of his house - having been set on fire by a spark from the engine of a passenger train. THE ARCEDIeHOP OF CANTERBURY.—The Arch bishop attended.the }rouse of Lords on Friday night for the first time since his long and serious illness, and received the hearty congratulations of many noble lords upon his convalescence. The Civilian states that it has been resolved that the salaries of the Customs' officials of all ranks shall in a short time be paid monthly. The scheme for car rying out this long wished for reform is in a forward state, and will take effect from the settlement of th e classification. NEW NAVAL GUN CARRIAGE.—The Dew gun carriage for use in the Royal Navy is just being com pleted in the Royal Carriage Department, Woolwich, by Colonel Clerk. When finished it will be inspected by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who will visit the Royal Arsenal in a day or two for the purpose. THE CONVICT ANDREW CARR.—The solicitor who defended Andrew Carr, who lies under sentence of death in Dublin for the murder of Margaret Murphy, in Bull-lane, has presented a petition, numerously signed, to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, praying for a com mutation of the capital sentence passed upon his client, on the grounds of his temporary insanity when he com mitted the deed.—Freenum's Jourszal. THE GERMAN VESSELS IN THE TYNE.—There is great excitement in the Tyne district among the French and German residents, consequent on the receipt of the news from the Continent. The Consul for the North- German Confederation received a message on Friday night from the Prussian Government requesting him to warn the German vessels in the Tyne to be very careful, atid if possible not to leave the river in the present state of affairs. There are at present upwards of sixty German vessels in the Tyne. The German residents are expecting to be summoned home to join the Landwehr. THE PRESIDENT'S LATEST APPOINTMENTS, — President Grant, among other nominations, sent to the Senate the following :—" Noah Davis, to be United States Attorney for the Southern district of New York ; Thoinas Hillhouse, to be Assistant Treasurer, and Thomas Murphy, to be Collector of the Port, in place of Moses H. Grinnell, who is nominated for the position of naval officer. Why Mr. Grinnell is to be transferred from one position to the other it is hard to say.
