John MTafferty, found guilty of high treason, was sentenced to death this morning by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald. The prisoner said he was found guilty on the evidence of one witness, and that witness a perjured informer. Ile sympathised with the Irish people, and would again joirt them if they had any prospect of independence, but would not give his :auction to the useless effus7cin of blood. He would . go to his grave as a geu 4 ;ilanan and a Christian. The judge s,dd that this ye:v.:het was just, and he could hold out no hope that: the sentence would be mitigated. The 12th June is the day fixed for the execution. by 1 1 Re-election of Mr. Gathorn , 3 Hirdy for Oxford University. OXFORD, Monday. A convocation was held this morning at ten o'clock, for the purpose of electing one burgess to represent this university in Parliament in the place of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, who had vacated his seat by accepting the office of one of her Ma jesty's principal Secretaries of State. The Vice-Chancellor (the Warden of all Souls' College) presided over the convocation, and was at tended by the Provost of Oriel, the President of St. John's, the Venerable the Provost of Queen's, the Venerable Archdeacon Clerk, the Warden of Mer ton, the Warden of New College, the senior and junior proctors, Professors Burrows and - Wall, Dr: Kenyon, Rev. It. Mitchell (public orator), Revs. T. Short, W. West, G. S. Ward, F. Merrick, and Dr. Rowden, registrar of the university. Several ladies a few undergraduates, were also present ; but on the whole the proceedings appeared to excite comparatively little interest. The VICE-CIIANCELLOR opened the proceedings by stating briefly, in Latin, the special object for which this convocation had been convened. The REGISTRAR then read the precept for pro ceeding to another election, and the statutes laying down the penalties liable to be incurred by any at tempt to commit bribery or corruption. The VICE CHANCELLOR then inquired if any member of convocation desired to put in nomination any candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy; whereupon The PROVOST of ORIEL proposed, in a short Latin speech, the re-election of Mr. Hardy.. The PRESIDENT of ST. JOHN'S seconded the norm_ nation, and read a Latin address in support of it. The VICE-CHANCELLOR then inquired if any member of convocation desired to put any other can didate in nomination, but after a short pause, and there being no response to the question, the Vice- Chancellor declared Mr. Hardy duly elected. The official return was then signed and sealed, after which the Vice-Chancellor dissolved the convoca tion, the whole proceedings having occupied just 11 minutes. Mr. Hardy was not present, as it is contrary to etiquette in the case of an election of a representa tive for the university for a candidate to be on the spot, or to take part in the proceedings. After the election has been notified in an official manner, it is customary for the newly elected representative to call on the resident members of convocation and leave his card, returning thanks for the honour con ferred on him. CAPE Of GOOD JAPE. PLYMOUTH, May 20. The Union Company's steamship Celt arrived here this evening with 118 passengers and £6,430 in specie. Her dates are Table Bay, April 19 ; St. Helena, April 27 ; and Ascension, May 1. Besides her usual cargo the Celt brings two live koodoos, the first of this species of antelope brought to England, and a specimen of some stones found in the Orange River, pronounced in the colony to be diamonds. This stone, sent home by the Colonial Government to be tested, is said to be worth £5OO, and when cut and polished will be Worth £BOO. The Cape Parliament was opened by the Gover nor on the 13th ult. His Excellency's speech_a long address—commenced with explaining in a very con ciliatory tone that the Government had no wish to take up a position of antagonism to the Parliament, nor to show a want of respect for the two houses. Neither was the Government actuated by hostility or insincerity in the matter of retrenchment. The speech proceeded to state that the Government had accepted the decision of the Parliament to adopt re trenchment, and were. willing to give effect to that measure in detail to the best of their ability. It also set forth particulars of various reductions in the Go vernment departments. It proposed including a re commendation to shorten the periods of imprison ment of native criminals and to reduce their diet, in order to render the punishment equally disagreeable. A reduction of the expense of the frontierpolice his Excellency considered impracticable. With the reductions proposed to be carried out ho estimated there would still remain a deficiency of £59,000 per.annum of expenditure over revenue. To meet this the Government proposed a moderate duty on exports, particularly wools, the leasing of the Crown lands, an increase of the inland postage, and the issue of a Government paper currency. It also proposed the abolition of the present Houses of Par liament and the division of the colony into six electoral circles, each to return three members. To these 18 to be added three officers of the Executive Government, the whole to form the only Legisla tive Chamber. The Governor also announced, in reference to the contribution towards the expense of the troops in the colony, that in 1868 one regiment must be paid for at the rate of £4O per man; and that 1869 two regiments must be paid for, and for the three following years, at the rate of £4O for every infantry soldier and £7O for every' artillery man in the colony. The Governor's speech was favourably received, but many points it suggests are not expected to be carried. An Orange Free State commando, sent to drive off the Basutos from the disputed territory and to destroy their crops, had killed about 25 of the Ba sutos in so doing. Bishop Gray had expressed a desire to obtain from all the clergy of Natal their decision as to whether they were prepared to receive Mr. Butler as their bishop, and recommended them to poll the communicants, male and female, to ascertain who would receive Mr. Butler and who would repudiate him. Dr. Coleuso had issued a pastoral, addressed to the clergy and laity, announcing that now it had been ascertained that there was to be no appeal from Lord Romilly's judgment, the time had come for him to vindicate his authority for maintaining order in his Church. He bid the clergy, if they thought him in error, to teach what they them selves believed, but required due canonical obe dience. CONSTANCE RIVERS. By Lady Barrett Lennard.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND. The following were the three alternative prouosi tions made by the London and North- Western Rail way Company with the view of inducing the Mid land Company to become occupiers jointly with them of the Lancaster and Carlisle line, before the Midland Company applied to Parliament for the Settle and Carlisle Railway Act : "1. That the Midland Company shall join the London and North-Western Company on terms of perfect equality in the responsibilities and profits of the Lancaster and Carlisle lease, the line being managed by a joint committee as previously pro posed, both companies having power to work and use for all traffic without restriction, paying into a joint fund the receipts on local traffic, and a mileage proportion of the receipts on through traffic, each of the companies being at liberty to c o a r rrY sett a l n e y d without compulsory division. t b ra y ffi a c rb t i h t e r y ati c o a n n i n a t c r a a s t e e s o f t o d b i fr e e r a e g r n c e ee,d but "2. That the Midland Company take upon them selves the entire working of the Ingleton branch of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, paying for the same, by way of rent, a sum equal to 5 per cent. upon the cost, the London and North-Western Company giving running powers between the Junc tion near Low Gill and Carlisle, on payment of a mileage proportion of the receipts to be agreed on, or settled by arbitration in case of difference, less 20 per cent. for working expenses, with access to and use (as far as the London and North-Western Com pany can give it) of the Carlisle Joint Station, on terms to be agreed upon or settled by arbitration. " 3. That the Carlisle line should be used in the same way as the Great Western and London and North-Western use the Shrewsbury and Hereford line,—viz., that each company pay a moiety of the rent, local receipts going in reduction thereof, and each company using the line free and without any restriction." With regard to the controversy in respect to this matter, it was alleged by the Midland Company that the Act for making the line from Settle to Carlisle was applied for by them in consequence of 1 " the London and North-Western Company having I refused to concede the necessary facilities for the use of their Lancaster and Carlisle line ;" while the London and North-Western Company stated that the negotiation went off solely in consequence of the Midland Company's refusal to submit to arbitra tion any difference that might arise about the rates to be charged upon competitive traffic to and from Carlisle. DUTCH RHENISH. The receipts for the fortnight ending April 30 amounted to £12,112, and for the corresponding period of last year to £10,953, showing an increase of £1,159.

DUBLIN, May 20. In the case of "The Queen v. Stephen J. Meany" the Court of Appeal delivered judgment on Satur day evening. The prisoner had been convicted at the last ordinary Commission of Oyer and Terminer of the crime of treason felony. It had been proved at the trial that the Fenian conspiracy, of which he was a member, existed both in America and this king dom, and that the prisoner had committed overt acts of treason felony in America, but no overt act was proved against him in the county of the city of Dub lin, in which he was tried, or anywhere else in this kingdom. Questions raised on behalf of the prisoner at the trial had been reserved by the learned Judges for this Court, as to whether the conviction was good under the circumstances. All the Judges sat, with the exception of Mr. Justice Morris, Mr. Justice George, Baron Deasy, Mr. Justice Fitz gerald, Baron Hughes, Chief Justice Monohan, and the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench were for upholding the conviction. Mr. Justice O'Hagan, Baron Fitzgerald, Mr. Justice O'Brien, Mr. Justice Keogh, and the Chief Baron Pigott decided in favour of the prisoner. The conviction therefore is affirmed by a majority of one. In the case of "'The Queen v. Mulcahy," which is to be brought before the House of Lords, Mr. Buft moved that• the fees, amounting to £59, be re mitted. the Solicitor-General opposed the motion, and judgment is to be given on Tuesday. The health of the convict Burke is giving way rapidly. He was very ill during the week, and it was reported yesterday, but without foundation, that he was dead. He is not likely to live till the day appointed for his execution, the 29th inst. Aylward still refuses to give any information re specting the persons by whom he was attacked. As law cl:trk, he was in the employme nt of a gentleman who is Crown Solicitor fur a southern county, and the Fenians, it appears, believed that information was conveyed to the Government through him. About 1,000 persons walked in procession yester day at the funeral of a Fenian prisoner named Richard Stowell, who had been released from Naas Gaol on account of his illness. The four mail steamers plying between Kingstown and • Holyhead are now all off the line.

A semi-official article has just been published here upon the Luxemburg question, which says : Peace te n s ds securedaserious anew, so far as human judg mentand a lasting peace. More extends, fortunate than the peace Conferences of recent years, the London Conference has attained its ob ject, and has brought about a solution of the Luxem burg question, to which all the parties concerned have readily declared their assent. "The position of Luxemburg is settled upon fresh bases by a treaty concluded at London. It is notorious that the Grand Duchy, which the King of Holland governs as an independent State, had be longed to the Germanic Confederation since 1815. After the dissolution of the Confederation last year the Ki:lg of Holland, as Count von Bismarck stated from the commencement, could not be compelled to join a new German Band. The Minister announcod that Prussia had never made such a proposal, and no wish was expressed from Luxemburg itself with regard to junction. Prussia did not wish to exercise either force or compulsion upon the sove reigns, nor to increase the tinder that threatens European peace.' " While, therefore, for reasons of right as well as policy, our Government was able to look forward solely to a free agreement as to the future position of Luxemburg, the right of garrisoning the fortress, hitherto possessed by Prussia, had to be taken into special consideration. This right of garrison re posed originally equally upon the former position of Luxemburg as a German federal fortress ; but the treaties by which that right was transferred to Prussia stipulated expressly that in its exercise the interest of the combined defence of Prussia and Luxemburg' should be paramount. "After, as a matter of course, Luxemburg ceased to be a Federal fortress by the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation, it remained reserved for the further consideration and agreement of Prussia and Luxemburg—the two Powers immediately con cerned—to determine the extent in which they should maintain or modify the treaty in question in the interest of the united defence. As, however, the state of affairs hitherto existing had come to pass, with the express co-operation of the European Great Powers, it seemed appropriate also to admit those Powers upon the present occasion to partici pate in the new decisions. These were the general points of view from which our Government pro ceeded iu the commencement with regard to the requisite, settlement of the Luxemburg question. " With regard, however, to the special interest of Prussia, the interest, viz., of the defence of Prussia er i n n m te e n n d t ed was te ob g li i g v e e d, n i p n ca King O ex f isHtionlg and Germany afforded by th e r i g ht o f garr i son , our I t Ga re no a vd ty, to demand a corresponding compensation far the security of the frontiers of Germany, in so far as that had up to the present time been guaran teed by the fortress of Luxemburg. Above all, it was impossible for Prussia to consent that a fortress hitherto employed for the defence of Germany might in future become a means of menacing her. "Before formal negotiations upon the relations o f Luxemburg took pl ace b etween P russ i a an d th e i symptoms came to light that a project entertained of ceding the Grand Duchy to France. Subsequent statements of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Corps Legislatif King n of was Holland, confirmed the fact that the negotiations pending between Holland and France actually turned upon the acquisition of Luxemburg by the latter Power. The matter thus entered a new and entirely different stage. While the danger of a menace to the frontiers of Germany, which Prussia,' in abandon ing her right of garrisoning Luxemburg, was bound under all circumstances to avert, seemed to be immediately realised, Prussia and Germany could but feel deeply hurt that the King of Holland negotiated with a foreign Power concerning a country and a fortress actually occupied by Prussian troops upon the basis of former treaties. "This was the starting-point of the latest nego tiations. The Prussian Government, supported by the national e xcitement apparent in G ermany, b ut animated at the same time by a sincere desire for peace, placed itself at first in confidential communi cation with the European Powers who bad co-ope rated in the settlement of the treaties respecting Luxemburg. An earnest endeavour was soon ma nifested upon all sides to avert the outbreak of po sitive dissension upon the Luxemburg questi o n. Thanks to the circumspection and moderation of all the Powers concerned, the Conferences have permitted the object of a peaceful solution to be at tained." Mr. George Peabody, who arrived in the Scotia, at Liverpool, was asked before leaving America to run for the Presidency. He replied that he preferred fishing for salmon—and we think he is right. Senator Sumner has written a letter to the New York Independent in support of his bill to establish equal suffrage in all the States. Theodore Tilton approves it, and says he knows that Chief Justice Chase also does. Postmaster-General Randall has tendered his resignation to the President on the ground that the South ought to be represented in the Cabinet. Tho President acknowledgos the fact, but declines to accept the resigna tion. Naval and Military Intelligence. -T Yesterday Major-Gen. F. Murray, commanding the forces at Chatham, accompanied by Brig Kle- Major. W. Lynch, Col. k H. Crofton, commnnnd ing Royal Artill, ry ; Deputy Ass:stant Superinten dent of Stores G. Wilgress, and other officers of the divisional staff, proceeded from head-quarters on a tour of inspection of the fortifications and other works, completed and in progress, at the Isle of Grain for commanding the approaches to the Thames and Medway at the confluence of the rivers. Although the fortifications at the Isle of Grain were commenced as far back as 1863, they are still far from being completed. The Government engineers and other persons employed on the undertaking have come to the conclusion that much of the works already executed will have to be taken down. The large battery, in the in spection of which considerable time was occupied yesterday, which was originally constructed at enor mous expense on the western shores of the Medway, is now considered to be altogether useless, from the gradual giving way of the foundations. Indeed, from the present rate at which the structure is sink ing it promises at no distant date to disappear alto gether, about eight feet of the battery being already out of sight. It was originally designed for this battery to mount 20 of the 600-pounder guns, but as the entire work h broken by its own weight, any attempt to place even the least formidable-descrip dtiiosnapopfeaarrainncaem. en T t h l e y b it a h t i t u er i y t w is ou e l r d ect o e n d ly on li a t st h e e n so its ft alluvial soil of the marshes, on a subsoil of mud and silt of about 40ft. in thicknss, beneath which the London clay is reached. The retaining as well as the several other walls of the structure were built in concrete, merely deposited in a common trench, without any previous preparation by piling to en able it to sustain the massive works placed on it. The result of this system of construction, which was anticipated by every one but the Government engineers, has been that the works have been taken down to prevent their falling. The concrete, about eight feet in thickness, laid on the marsh for foun dations for the parapets, &c., appears, from the in spection yesterday, to have sunk about six feet, the consequence being that this part of the foundation is broken up and bulged by its own weight, and therefore altogether useless for the purpose for which it was intended. The slopes, which are formed I of the earth taken from the excavations for the foundations of the fort, do not appear sound, and, although the precaution has been adopted by the engineers of introducing layers of hurdles to about every three or four feet of filling, yet even this has proved useless, as at a distance of about fifty feet from the foot of the slopes the ground has been raised up as much as three feet out of the original level, thus proving, what, indeed, ought to have been well known to all concerned be fore a block of granite for the fortifications was laid, that the soil in its present condition is too treacherous and spongy to bear the weight placed upon it. After this description of the present condition of the bat tery it will only be necessary to add that all further work on this structure is, for the present at least, abandoned. The magazine fort is erected on the highest point of the Isle of Grain, to enable the guns to sweep the approaches to both the Thames and Medway. This mass of buildings already shows several serious fractures, necessitating a free use of iron tie-rods. The magazine is built on a bed of con crete 6ft. in thickness, boxed in by whole timbers, and sheet piles 25ft. in length. During the time the piles were being driven in it was found then impos sible to force them beyond a certain depth, a thick bed of shingle being met with, through which the piles would not pass. The magazine contains bar racks for several hundred troops, with quarters for officers, and the fort is now occupied by a detach ment of Royal Engineers, who are engaged in re pairing the slopes of the ditches and iu other works, some thousands of yards of the earthworks having slipped. The original estimate for the cost of the defences in the Isle of Grain was £lOO,OOO, but already a much larger amount has been expended on the works as far as they have been proceeded with. It would prove instructive were some member of the House of Commons to move for a return of the amount spent on the defences for the Medway and Thames and the present condition of the several works. The unarmoured screw sloop Danae, 4 guns, 350 horse power of engines, will be launched from Ports mouth dockyard at noon to-day. This vessel has been built from the designs of the present Chief Con structor of the Navy, and, as she is one of the im proved Amazon class of vessels, it is necessary to say a few words respecting her. She has a length of 212 ft. between the perpendiculars ; a length of keel per tonnage of 185 ft. Bin. ; a breadth, extreme, of 36ft. ; breadth, moulded, 35ft. 2in. ; breadth for tonnage, 35ft. 10in. ; depth of hold, 19ft. 4in. ; and burden in tons, builders' measuram eat, 1,268 8-94. The Amazon was designed solely to supersede the Roebuck class of sloops, none of which reached more than about 10} knots an hour at the measured mile. The Controller of the Navy Department had to make provision for carrying heavy guns, and at the same time to secure the highest possible rate of speed on small dimensions. When that vessel was first de sigried it was believed that she would give a return of nearly or quite 13 knots, but this rate was barely reached on the trial of the vessel, but yet this ap parently unsatisfactory result was perfectly and satisfactorily explainable: The engines of the new type, with which the Amazon was fitted, had not, as a rule, nor have they yet, perhaps, developed all the power expected, and much heavier guns at the bow and stern had been ordered for the ship during the time she was building than she was originally intended to carry when her keel was laid down ; a larger complement of officers and men bei ng a ll o tt e d to her at the same time. The consequence of this alteration in the weights of the ship was that, in stead of a measured mile rate of speed of 13 knots, she fell a little short of 13} knots at her deep-load draught. The loss on the estimated rate of speed was, however, but very insignificant after all, and was really nothing at all if the difference between the designed and actual immersion is considered. The next vessel of the class completed, the Vestal, just exceeded 121 knots. Taking a mean rate of 12 knots per hour over the measured mile, it is really an enormous and unprecedented speed (in the Royal Navy) for gun sloops of a little over 1,000 tons. The half-power trials of the Amazon over the mile gave 10.736, 10.458, and 10.891 knots per hour, and these half-power trials gave her a higher rate of speed than the vessels she superseded possessed at full power. So soon as it was ascertained by the Admiralty that the full 13 knots could not be ob tained from vessels built on the Amazon's lines, and carrying the increased weights of guns, ammunition, crew, stores, &e., the Ad tniralty determined to provide the speed, if possible, in the three ships of the same class then about to be built--the Danae, Blanche, and Sappho, of which the Daum alone had been taken in hand to any extent, and even she was but then prtly in frame. Accordingly the designs for these ships were amended, and the Dauae's fore body timbers wore taken down and built up again with increased length of some 25 feet, and conse quent fineness of the bow lines. The Blanche and Sappho have been constructed throughout from the new design. The new Board of Admiralty have ordered several other vessels to be built from the improved design, including the Sirius, at Ports mouth ; the Spartan, at Deptford ; and the Tenedos, at Devonport. The Dance is built of wood, strengthened with iron wherever it can be applied with advantage to structural strength. She has six iron bulkheads, one of which extends from the keel upwards to the upper deck beams, about 15 feet abaft the ship's stem. The remaining five reach upwards from the floor to the lower deck beams, but carry side plates up to the upper deck beams on each side and bolt to the stringer places of the SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.
