Al it 64- 1141 • LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1867 .---- - ^4P -..----- The philosophical member for Westminster is determined, it seems , to be something more than a theoretical reformer, and last night he brought a ver y important question under the con sideration of the House of Commons. The local government of oar overgrown metropolis has long b.:.en one of the problems of the day. It is admitted on all si•les to be a complete anomaly, or rather collection of ano malies, and does not certainly succeed in producing anything like a definite and satisfactory result. We have complain' s on all sides about the quality of the gas, the water supply, the pavini , and lighting of the stree s, and a dozen other matters of the kind while m...re serious questions are no more efficiently dealt with. The unsatisfactory administration of the Poor jaw, the neglect of sanitary law,the irregularities and deficiencies and architectural shortcomings of our public buildings, are all evils of common re mark, apparent to the most casual observer. Yet the inhabitants of this heavily-taxed city grumble and pay their rates an 1 taxes, everybody adtnit ting that the management of London is not what it ouglit to be, and that ou the Continent such things are managed better, but no one knowing how to set about instituting a reform, and pro bably no one caring enough about the matter to take much trouble to find out. This state of affairs does not satisfy Mr. MILL, who, as the re presentative of a large and important district of the metropolis, has a very good right to speak. His scheme is of wider range than the subject which occupied the House last night, which related merely to the establishment of mu nicipal corporations in the several districts of the metropolis. Mr. MILL, however, does not consider that this bill will deal aiequately with the question, and he has already given notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the establishment of a central federal municipality for the whole of the metropolis. He is desirous of bringing forward that bill before he asks for a second reading of the bill which he introduced last night. The leading feature in the Municipal Corporations (Metropolis) Bill is the establishment of local municipal boroughs of considerable ex tent, conterminous with the Parliamentary boroughs of the metropolis. The districts now adminis tered by vestries and local boards are, in the opinion of the member for Westminster, too small ; and, although he had no hostility to vestries, which had, he thought, in some respects, done good service, he believed that, for municipal purposes, affairs should be dealt with on a larger scale. The bill of last night contemplates the erection of Ken sington and Chelsea into a separate borough, and provides for the subdivision of the Tower Hamlets, as stipulated in the Government Reform Bill. The larger measure, which is not yet before the House, proposes, we understand, to establish a central federal municipality, taking the City Corporation as a fundamental point, and dividing the metropolis into wards, having, we may presume, some resem blance, in their constitution, to the City wards under the existing system. Mr. LOCKE, in referring to this branch of the subject, reminded the house that the City Corporation had many advantages over similarly constituted bodies. It had the prestige of its ancient history, it had plenty of money, and a staff of officers quite sufficient to carry on if neces sary the whole of the local business of the metropolis. We doubt whether the other parts of the metropolis would be willing to submit their affairs to the go vernment of the City Corporation, but since the system is in efficient working order it is worth while to consider how far the rest of London may profitably imitate it. We must remember that the citizens themselves are not always satisfied with their own alministra tion, though they have perhaps less cause to grumble than the outlying districts. The great want of the metropolis, with regard to its local government, is to be dealt with in a larger and more statesmanlike Kale, to have some unity and energy infused into the governing bodies, and to provide altogether for more harmonious action. In our national dread and dislike of centralisation we have gone to the opposite extreme, and have really suffered from evils not much less in their extent and cha racter than those arising from the vexatious inter ference of Government officials. The Commission Committee on the Local Government of the Metro polis, which was appointed last session, included Mr. MILL among its members, and the report of the committee had his general concurrence. Mr. AYRTON, who as chairman both of the committee of last year and of 1861 knew something of the sub ject, did not agree with the hon. member for West minster in his schemes. They had, be said, been considered among the- other plans submitted to the cousideration of the committee, but he thought the evils inseparable from the constitution of large corporations would outweigh the good. Leave was, however, given to bring in the bill, Jima it is not possible to judge fairly of it until we have the larger measure also before us, because the one depends upon and is influenced by the other. It is evident that Mr. MILL has not come forward too soon. It is six years since the last committee was appointed, and we are still at .the very thres hold of the question. Municipal Reform, like Parliamentary Reform, has a great deal to contend against. It has to struggle against prejudices, local jealousies, and vested interests of all kinds. Nevertheless, the work must be undertaken, and it should be undertaken with energy and promptitude. at al, The present Government since taking office have ad a great deal of awkward business on their rands, but perhaps nothing has been more annoying ,han the fact they have been compelled to take in ,he affairs of Ireland. When Parliament assembled this year it was announced that the Suspension of ' the Habeas Corpus Act would cease, but scarcely was that act of grace - accomplished when further disturbances rendered it imperative to return to stringent measures. Last night in the House of Commons Lord NAAS asked leave to intro duce a bill, to ronew, for a limited period, the Habeas Suspension Act in Ire land. In doing so the noble lord produced some explanations, which completely justified the proposal, and showed that it was no exaggeration for him to state that " only a deep conviction of the absolute necessity in the interests of the peace of the country induced him to propose a renewal of the Act." In alluding to the recent disturbance that had taken place in Ireland, he said that . it was iu consequence of an organisation having existed for the last four or five years in spite of all that had been done by the Government to suppress it, and that though it lasted for a very short time, still it was spread over a large space. Many causes con spired tolead to itsi►nmediate extinction, but the chief one was the " extraordinary fidelity, courage, and loyalty displayed by the Irish constabulary." The latter deserve the tribute they received at the hands of the noble lord, for their conduct has been deserv- ing of all praise, and it is certain that their spirit and presence of mind contributed materially to attain the desired end as quickly and effectually as possible. The powers conferred upon the executive by the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act were of real importance, and had it not been so the insurrectionary movement would soon have assumed a very different appearance, and led to far other results than those we have witnessed. The existence of that power enabled the authorities some days before the last outbreak occurred to seize many of those who were implicated in the move ment, and who have in some cases proved to have been prominent leaders of the affair. The conse quence has been that this seditious attempt has been paralysed in Ireland. _ . . Lord NABS stated that, although at this moment there appears every chance of this organisation collapsing, if it has not actually collapsed already, still there are symptoms apparent which prove that great caution and vigilance must be exercised. We should think that all who are not hopelessly prejudiced must be con vinced by this time that it is expedient to con tinue this act. A great deal of intimidation exists, of which a notable instance was adduced by the noble lord last night when he narrated the case of a young man, supposed to be au informer, who had been fired at repeated:y, yet refused to give up the names of those who attacked him. A number of per4ons are now in custody, under the warrant of the Lord-Lieutenant, whom. it wo..f.d be inexpe dient to release just now. The no _le lord spoke very fairly when he assured the House that ac cording as Ite mrivement seemed to die out in Ireland a gradual release of these men will take place, for it is not desired that the powers of this Act shoUld be exercised for purposes of punishment, but merely to place for a short time under restraint those whom the Govern ment are assured to be conspiring against the State. The noble lord justified the releases that had been made last autumn under the present Government, and, in conclusion, declared that the adoption of the present course was most likely to put a speedy end to that conspiracy which had proved FO great an evil and so bitter a curse to the country. Much as it is to be regretted that this Act should be kept in force, it is rendered absolutely necessary by the state of things. We hope that those Irish mem bers, and others equally ill-advised, who made a great outcry about this subject on a previous occa sion, will have • the good sense to abstain from offering any opposition at a future period to a course , that is taken with a full consideration of the deep responsibility which it involves. We think that the perverse and arbitrary course pursued' by the Berlin Government has been shown in nothing more strongly than by the manner in which they have acted towards Hanover. That unfortunate kingdom has been a doomed spot from the commencement of the recent war on the Continent until the present period ; and it is the more strange that such should be the line of their policy, because the place is in some manner associated with the Crown of England, and a near relative of our Sovereign was the ruler until lately. From time to time we have heard accounts of the harsh and most tyrannical manner in which matters have been car ried on ; and, indeed, the proclamation cf the Go vernor was enough to justify any sinister predic tions that might have been made. The last news is that " domiciliary perquisitions and arrests have been made in several parts of Hanover even among persons of the highest position." This is very en couraging intelligence, certainly, for the disciples of the grand scheme of German unity, and those who have been exhausting language in their praise of the Government which was to confer such blessings may just as well wait to see the end of the game before they commit them selves much further. Another most inexcusable thing on the part of the'Prussians is the way they have behaved about the private fortune of King GEORGE, which should have been handed over to him at once, without any convention or arrangement The Prussians are too greedy, however, to ,et anything go out of their grip which they can possibly hold firm, no matter how imperative may be the claims of honour or of honesty. Indeed we have yet much to learn, it may fairly be presumed, respecting the policy of Prussia. As time goes on, and the first excitement of the recent comprehensive change dies away, the agents and emissaries of Count BISMARCK will give themselves more scope, and cast away those fetters which pru dence may have hitherto imposed in great measure. It will then be seen how far those have wandered from their destination who set out in the expecta tion of gaining more freedom under the auspices of the Berlin Government than they possessed accord ing to the regime. It is indeed another instance of the danger that exists in making uncorkidered changes, and giving up old lamps for new ones. celebrity for ages, but the present display shows great advance in this branch of industry. Visitors should look at Class 18, devoted to carpets and furniture. The articles are splendid and tasteful in the extreme. England has long traded with Turkey for such articles. France voluntarily de prived herself of the benefit to be derived from the trade by the imposition of excessive duties. She has " changed all that ;" and now, in con sequence of recent commercial treaties, the duty upon such articles of Turkish produce being redu3ed to 15 per cent. (that duty is, per haps, too high), there is a considerable sale of Turkey carpets in France. They are remarkable for originality of designs, and particularly for har mony and solidity of colour, and relatively low price. Carpet-weaving now forms a large branch of the industry of Turkey. At Smyrna and the environs, at Koniah and most of the villages on the banks of the Danube, it employs the greater portion of the population. Many women earn good wages at the work. Splendid materials of velvet texture are manufactured at Constantinople. Beautiful specimens are to be seen in the saloon, and enter ing which is ornamented by a life-like bust of the Sultan, the production of M. Gamier, a French artist. There are four qualities or classes of Turkey carpets. A great many from Smyrna may be seen at the Exhibition. It appears that carpets in Turkey are woven by means of wooden machines, seemingly of rough and primitive con struction, but at all events they produce beautiful, if not inimitable, specimens of this branch of indus try. Some of these machines, or at all events of a similar description, are to be seen in the machine gallery. Turkey has not yet arrived at the em ployment of steam machinery in this respect. Turkey carpets are produced by hand loom wcav °lug. These carpets are peculiarly remarkable for their fast colours, which are not to be effaced, it is said, by the most powerful acids. Notwithstanding the great advance of science in Europe, it is said that both French and English manufacturers admit that they have yet something to learn in this weather. respec There is a very agreeable change in the weather It has been warm, if not hot to-day, and there has been very little rain. The Exhibition has been crowded. A German paper says that the international Congress to discuss the best modeof curing ophthal mia, - which was to have been held at Vienna, will take place in Paris. It will open on the 12th of August, and be immediately followed by the great medical congress. There has been another attempted assassination It took place at La Vilette. A carpenter, who has lived some years with a woman, so illtreated her that she lately left him. He discovered her new residence, and, without a word of explanation, in flicted such serious injuries that she c.tn hardly sur vive. On inflicting the wounds he said, " Now I am revenged." He then went to the nearest station, and, confessing the crime, gave himself up as a prisoner. 'I T LATEST INTEL LIATEN 16. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SOUTH AUSTRALIA. FALMOUTH, Wednesday Morning.

VALETTA, May 17.—The most interesting local events of the week are the arrival of our new Go vernor, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Patrick Grant, G.C.8., and the departure of the Naval Commander-in-Chief, Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., for the usual summer cruise. Sir Patrick Grant arrived early in the morn ing of the 15th inst., from Marseilles, on board the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Nyanza, and at 8 o'clock his excellency, Lady Grant, his family, and his personal staff landed at the Marmuseetto with the usual honours. At 11 o'clock her Majesty's commission appointing Sir Patrick Grant Adminis trator of the Government of the Island of Malta and its de r endencies was read in the hail of St. Michael and St. George, and the usual oaths were administered in the presence of the constituted authorities and a considerable number of the in habitants. Previous to disembarking Sir Patrick Grant received a visit on board the Nyanza from Lord Clarence Paget, who was on the point of sail ing, but had postponed his departure in order to welcome her Majesty's representative before leaving. His Excellency's staff is composed of Capt. A. C. Grant, 11th Hussars, Assist. Military Secretary and Private Secretary; Lieut. G. G. Strahan, R.A., Ist A.D.C., and Lieut. H. G. Grant, 78th Highlanders, 2d A.D.C. The same morning the Naval Com mander-in-Chief, Lord C. Paget, with Lady Cla rence and family, left Malta in H.M.S. Victoria, Capt. Alan Gardner, for Gibraltar, accompanied by Arethusa, Capt. R. J. G. Macdonald. More than usual interest was taken in the departure of these ships, or rather the former, on account of her being in all probability the last of the seagoing three-deckers that will be seen in the Mediterra nean. On reaching Gibraltar the Admiral will shift his flag to the Caledonia, ironclad, which•it is ex pected will have arrived before him. The Victoria thence, proceeds to Devonport to pay off, the Cale donia and Arethusa remaining for the present at Gibraltar, whence they will, however, in a few weeks commence their summer cruise by visiting some of the ports of Spain and France. The rest of the squadron will join the Admiral as soon as they can be got ready for sea and have completed the fitting of their new heavy ordnance. The Ocean 21, ironclad, Captain Stanhope, will probably sail about the 24th inst., for Gibraltar and China. The Royal Oak, 35, ironclad, Captain the Hon. G. D. Deane, will be ready for sea about the middle of June, and the_ Prince Consort, 35, ironclad, Capt. Inglefield, about the 4th of . July. Four United States' ships of war were at Messina on the 12th inst. The half-yearly inspections being over, many officers of the garrison have obtained leave of ab sence and proceeded to England. The launch of the unarmoured screw sloop Danae, 4 guns, 350 horse power, constructed from the de signs of Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, was successfully accomplished yes terday just before noon from No. 2 building slip of Portsmouth dockyard. In the notice of the Danae, in the Naval Intelligence of yesterday, by a clerical error, the speed of the Amazon at the measured mile, at her deep load draught, was stated to be "a little short of 13i knots." It should have read " a little short of 12i knots." His Italian Majesty's ship Eurydice, 24 guns, Capt. Cavalier Bertelli, arrived at Spithead yester day from Genoa and Gibraltar, and on anchoring exchanged the customary salutes with the Port Ad miral's ship at Portsmouth and the garrison saluting battery. Unfortunately, in firing the salutes from the Italian frigate a very serious accident occurred —two of her men reloading one of the guns being blown into the water out of the gun port by a pre mature explosion of the charge on being rammed home in the gun, supposed to have been caused by the vent of the gun not being " served" properly i.e., the external air kept from the chamber of the gun by pressure of the thumb of the man on the touchhole of the piece whose duty it was to attend to that part of the gun's loading. One of the poor fellows had his hand blown off, and the other had his arm severely fractured. Both were immediately sent on shore to the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar, Gosport, where their injuries were promptly at tended to by the staff of the establishment. Capt. Bertelli will land at Portsmouth to:-day from his ship, and, accompanied by the Italian Vice-Consul, the Chevalier Vandenbergh, pay the usual official visits to the Port-Admiral and Lieutenant- Governor, acts of courtesy which he was pre vented doing yesterday by the roughness of the weather. The sailing Indianian Nile, 1,250 tons, Captain Owen, one of Messrs. Green's Blackwall fleet, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from Cal cutta, with 185 invalid soldiers, 14 women, and 38 children. The Nile sailed from Calcutta on the 29th of January, called in at St. Helena on the 3d of April, and arrived off the Lizard on . the 17th inst. The troops will be disembarked from the ship early this morning, and she will afterwards sail from Spithead for the Thames to discharge her cargo. Her Majesty's steam transport Euphrates, which has been built by Messrs. Laird, Brothers, of Birk enhead, and was floated on the 24th of November last, has received her rigging and completed her fittings. Yesterday she finally left the New Alfred • Dock, Birkenhead, and was formally handed over to, Government. Captain Mon tagu Dunn assumed the command, Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, and Mr. Luke, one of the Admiralty Inspectors, were present. The ship, it is understood, will leave the Mersey for Portsmouth to-day. She is a very fine vessel, and is the first of the five transports destined for the Indian relief troops service, via Suez. Her length is 365 ft., breadth 491 t., maximum draught of water 21ft., and tonnage, 4,173. Her engines, which are of 700 horse power nominal, were also constructed by Messrs. Laird, who have, in fact, built and com pleted the ship throughout at their own works. The cylinders are 94in. diameter, with 4ft. Gin. stroke. Her accommodation is for 1,450 persons, 1,250 mili tary, and 200 crew. After her trial at Portsmouth she will proceed to Bombay to commence, in August, the new system of relief. The trial last week of the engines of the screw steam frigate Phoebe, Capt.. J. Bythesea, V.C., outside Plymouth Breakwater, not having proved satisfactory, another trial will be made as soon as the necessary alterations are completed. The screw steamer Imogene, tender to the Coast guard, from Cowes, was appointed to leave Ports mouth yesterday with supernumeraries for Ireland. The Lords of the Admiralty have determined on erecting foitifications on St. Catherine's Island, near Teuby, and tenders have already been received. The island commands an important point of the Bristol Channel, and the new works will be a valuable addition to the range of fortifications around Mil ford and Pembroke. The Enrolled Pensioners and Army Reserve men of the Bristol district, under the command of Major Maclean, staff officer, completed their annual eight days' permanent duty on Monday, when they were inspected on Durdham Down by Colonel Blyth, of the 40th Regiment, who spoke highly of the efficiency of the corps. The following appintments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Edward W. Shaw, to the Revenge, for service in the Coastguard ; Commander Loftus F. Jones to the St. George, for service in the Coastguard ; Commander Richard 11. Harrington, to the Frederick Williatn, for service in the Coastguard ; Lieut. John 11. O'Brien to the Bristol, additional, for disposal; Sub-Lieut. F. G. M. Powell to the Phoebe ; Sub-Lieut. W. Bayly and Sub-Lieut. J. G. W. Harrison to the Lord Clyde ; Sub-Lieut. N. 14. 11. Clarke to the Dryad ; M. Napier, midshipman, to the Phoebe; W. Y. Ottley, midshipman, to the Achilles ; P. F. Tillard, naval cadet, to the Zealous ; A. H. Lindesay, naval cadet, to the Phoebe ; E. P. Brett and G. A. D. Haviland, naval cadets, to the Royal Alfred ; T. Parker, engineer, to the Excellent, for service in the Stork ; 11. B. Fabian, engineer, to the Indus, for the Vixen; and J. Pearse, engineer, to the Cum berland, for the Lee. It is rumoured that a gentleman connected with a large music publishing firm, the universality of whose enterprise has long been appreciated, is about to devote his entire energies to the establishment of a permanent peripatetic English opera ; short seasons to be given in all the chief towns of the United Kingdem."—Qi'chotra. ~ ,d 1 46 t V • ‘At4 . = ( i s - . .e 2- - - HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, May 21.

The following letter from Mr. Layard has been sent to most of the papers. It has not been sent to us, yet notwithstanding we willingly give it all the additional publicity which our columns can impart LU IL "Sir, --I find that the report of what fell from the Speaker on my appeal to him on ThurSday last has conveyed an impression that he regarded it as unnecessary and improper on my part to call the attention of the house to the language which Mr. Harvey Lewis had used to me in the lobby, and that he a dministered a rebuke to both of us. " I deem it, therefore, just to myself to state that in performing a very unpleasant and painful duty I acted upon the advice of some of the most eminent members of the house, who considered it the only course open to me, and after consultation with the Speaker. "I am authorised to state that the rebuke of the S t reaker was addressed to Mr. 11. Lewis alone. The following minute has been entered on the records of the house : • Complaint having been made by Mr. Llyard, member for the borough of Southwark, of offensive language addressed to him by Mr. Harvey Lewis, member for the borough of Marylebone, during the late division, Mr. Harvey Lewis was heard in his place, and expressed his regret that he should have used the language complained of instead of seeking explanations from the hon. member, which would have averted the misunderstanding between them.' " I take this opportunity of repeating my emphatic denial of having addressed the word attributed to me by Mr. H. Lewis to himself or to any other me mber in the lobby. I may add, that I have rea son to believe that of the five gentlemen who, in addition to Mr. H . Lewis and m y self, were iu the di v i s i o n, not one of t hem can b ear out his state ment o t b h e a d t i s e t u ic t h se v; v or a d u, words were usei by me.—l am, sir your " A. H. LAYARD louse of Commons, May 20.". To this letter Air. Harvey Lewis makes the fo' ve nhoars been -stre et , W., May 2 " Sir, —M; attention G called to a letter lowing reply : from Mr. A. Layard, published in the evening papers of yesterday, in which he Ears :---‘ I take this opportunity of repeating my emphatic denial of having addressed the words attributed to m e b y Mr. IL Lewis to himself or any other member in the lobby. I m ay add, that I have reason to be lieve that of the five gentlemen who, in addition to Mr. Lewis and myself, were in the division, not one of them can bear out his statement that such words were used by me.' " I beg in reply, in an equally emphatic manner, to declare that the words which I attributed to Mr. Layard were uttered by that gentleman in the lobby ; and as no one was, as I believe, near Layard and myself, it is therefore probable that not one of the five gentlemen alluded to heard either Mr. Layard's observations or mine. As germane to this matter I may add that a friend of Mr. Lnyard's spoke to me in the house on this subject on Friday evening, and expressed a desire to reconcile the discrepancy between Mr. Layard and myself by saying I must have heard some similar words spoken by Mr. Layard in the house during the debate, and not in the lobby; but I re plied that this was simply impossible, as Mr. Layard was seated in the front Opposition bench, while I was seated close to the bar, and could not hear what was said ; and I repeated to that gentleman, as I did in the house, and as I do now through you to the public, that the words which I attributed to Mr. Layard as having been used by him in the lobby were so used by him in that place. --I am, sir yours, &c., " HARVEY LEWIS IIiELAND.

ALEC'S BRIDE. By the Author of " St. Olave's," "Janita's Cross," &c. 3 vols.—" ' Alec's Bride' is a novel which most people will read with p leasure. It gives us someexquisite pictures of life in a cathedral town. The characters are all most carefully drawn, and Roda Mon tagu and Alec especially are finished portraits. The story is simple and natural, and in its progress takes account of human nature for the most part in its favourable aspect.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening The 3loniteur, in its official part, announces tl the Emperor has received the litter by which the King of the Belgians notifies to his Imperial Ma jesty the marriage of his brother, the Prince Philippe Eugene-Ferdinand-Marie-Clement- Bandonin-Leo pold-George, Count of Flanders, with her Highness Madame the Princess Marie Louise-Alexandrine Caroline du Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. (Royal personages seem rather tardy in their correspondence, but when they do write, they are very particular, at least in regard to names.) Acknowledgment is also officially made of a similar letter from the Princess announcing her marriage with the Count de Flandre. The non-official part of the Ttloniteur states that, by order of the Emperor, the Minister of War, has just adopted a regulation, upon the proposition of the commission on the dotation of the army, according to which the price for exoneration from service for the year 1867 is reduced from 3,000 f. to 2,500 f. A camp of instruction is about to be formed at Bruck, on the Leitha, on the confines of Hungary, and a part of the garrison of Vienna has received orders to march to that locality. The number of 2 h o a ,000. The m or e k e s e f e o d r . th e T f h o e r t p i l fi a c n a t p i o r n o s p o o s f e V a i e i s n n t a o troops who will be encamped will, it is said, be een Th c e om w surround that capital with a number of forts, at least 40. They will be connected by cir cular trenches, but there will not be a continuous entrenched circular wall. A despatch has been received in P • aris announc ing the return of the Queen of Denmark to Copen hagen from London. The Imperial Commission, which has displayed great activity in arranging everything to increase the attraction and interest of the great Exhibition, has made excellent regulations That body is composed of 553 sergents de ville and 52 detective police in plain clothes. They do their duty in conformity with the advice of T alleyrand to his diplomatic agents not to " display too much zeal," so that the public are protected, but not annoyed. The detectives arc men whose peculiar talents arc of the first water, and are perfectly acquainted with all the various. modes of extracting valuables from people's pockets. If there were to be a general competition for prizes for the most expert thieves these agents would be very com petent jurynten. The body is commanded by 29 brigadiers and sub-brigadiers. In addition, 110 Gardes deParis, under the command of a lieutenant, came to the Exhibition. The two posts arc at the Ports de l'Ecole Militaire and Jena, wheresand is accomm odation for from 15 to 20 gue, a separa te place for wo men. Each post contains 42 beds for the police agents. No one is allowed to enter the Palace after six in the evening, when the drums beat and the police see that all the visitors leave it. The arrangements are such that there is no hurry, confusion, or inconvenience. The park is cleared at midnight in the same manner. Thirty two police officers pass the night in the park. During the day they occupy the same points and are very assiduous in giving any information or assistance to visitors. Their instructions are to be as polite as possible, but they must obey orders with much strictness. It is said that there have been only six attempts at robbery, which were in stantly prevented. The number of pickpockets who effected their object has been only 21. If this course of honesty be persevered in, we shall arrive in Paris at the same happy state as in England, where, according to a Freitea writer, thieves are so rare that the authorities are obliged to offer a' re ward for them. The Society for the Encouragement of National Industry will hold a meeting every Friday evening at their office in the Rue Bonaparte during the time of the Exhibition. At dick last meeting some in teresting communications were read from M. Berard, Professor of Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences, and from other pvofes.sors. These com munications were accompanied by an explanation in regard to various articles of art, jewellery in aluminium or bronze, crystal, and flint glass. A new process for lighting by gas was also under con sideration. The Turkish portion of the Exhibition is pecu- liarly worth attention. Turkey earpeta have bad FRANCE.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF TIM SUN. SlR,—Considerable surprise and indignation hav ing been expressed, both in the public journals and in private correspondence, with reference to the alleged withholding of information from the share holders relative to the injury to the shore-end of the cable of 1866, a knowledge of which is assumed to have been unnecessarily kept back by the ma nagement, I am instructed by my directors to in form you that neither of the cables is at present in any way under the control or superintendence of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and that the first intelligence received by the directors or officers of that company as to the damage to the shore-end of the cable of 1866 reached them during the sitting of the board at 3 p.m. on Friday, the 17th inst., in the shape of a rumour from the Stock Exchange, whicb, on inquiry afterwards, was found to be cor rect.—, am, sir, yours, &c., GEO. SAWARD, Secretary and General Superintendent, London, May 21, 1867. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN'. yon be good enough to inform the public that arrangements have been made with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company for the hnmediate repair of the injury done to the Atlantic cable of 1866 ? A vessel will be speedily depatched, and will leave the Thames within ten days from this date ; and, as the point of injury is known to be within two miles of the land at Heart's Content, as now confirmed by Mr. Willoughby Smith, sent to Valentia for the purpose of verifying the previous tests, there is no reason to doubt that by the 15th of next month the cable will be restored to its former perfect condi tion.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., CHARLES E.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Johanna, Feb. 23, received by the late mail, which places the fate of the unfortunate celebrated tra veller, Pr. Livingstone, beyond a doubt :—" You have beard long before you get this that Dr. Living stone was killed. The Johannamen whoml engaged last March to accompany Dr. Livingstone into Africa arrived at Zanzibar last December, and were sent here by the consul. I have received an account of their journey, and of the attack of the savages on the Doctor's party, in which he was killed. The only witness of his death states that about noon they were travelling over a large plain—the Doctor and nine Africans were ahead. Suddenly he beard the Africans cry out, t Mavela! Mavela !' He ran on and saw a number of men rushing on the Doctor and the Africans. Three made for the Doctor, who shot two, but was cut down himself by the third. Moosa, the narrator of this sad event, fired his gun and ran back to his countrymen, and they escaped into the grass and bushes. At dusk they returned to the spot where Dr. Livingstone was attacked, and found his body, the bodies of the two Mavelas whom he shot, also the bodies of four of the Afri- They buried the Doctor, and then set off as .ist as they could go on their return to the coast; and after escaping two or three times from bands of Alavelas, reached Rulloa on the coast. Unless some of the Africans survive and reach Zanzibar, which is very improbable, this is all that ever will be known of the fate of Dr. Livingstone. The Mavelas, who have come from the South in considerable numbers, are killing the unfortunate negro:3s, who have neither courage nor the means of defending them selves." A new RACE GLASS, very appropriately named " The New Df;rby Race Glass," has this season been in troduced to the SportingliVorld. It is a binocular of high power, good field and definition, and is equally service able for all out-door uses. The maker is CALLAGIIA.N, 23a, New Bond-street ; and the price, including sling case, is Os. Our country friends should remit a post-office order, and become possessors of so excellent an instrument.

Holloway's purifying, cooling, and strength ening pills are well adapted for any irregularity of the human body, and should b., taken when the stomach is disordered, the liver deranged, the kidneys inactive, the bowels torpid, or the crown m uddled. With this medicine every invalid can cure himself, and those who are weak and infirm through imperfect indigestion may make them selves stout and strong by Holloway's excellent pills ; a few doses of them usually mitigate the most painful symp toms caused by undigested food, from which they tho roughly free the alimentary .canal, and completely restore its natural power and action.
