The Ministry have had a hard struggle in many parts of this discussion, and even in committee it has not been all smooth sailing. The redistribution scheme has not been so tiresome as was the franchise part of the bill, but still it has been vexatious in its carrying out, and those really desirous of coming to a settlement must rejoice that the general features of the scheme are now decided upon. Mr. DISRAELI strove in vain, it is true, to bring first-rate members to his way of thinking, but notwithstanding this was par tially effected, and that of a significant character. An early day will no doubt be fixed upon for sending up the bill to the House of Lords, a con summation earnestly to be desired. it is indeed high time for the Upper House to have the oppor tunity of considering the measure ; and even those most unfavourable to that assembly must admit that their patience has been sorely tried by the long course of delay which has ensued, and no doubt as soon as the bill is before them there will be mani fest signs of impatience, and innumerable hints given of the shortness of time left, and the necessity for closing the Session, and so on. Mr. GLADSTONE has kept to what he said at Easter to the letter, but he has not fulfilled his pro mise in the spirit, for he has lost no opportunity ol insinuating evil things against the measure, and of declaring that there are many drawbacks to its merits. Last night he made another onslaught, but to little purpose. The House and the country also for that matter have had enough, and more than enough, of talking about Reform, and they anxiously desire that actions should take the place of words, and practice succeed to profession. Mr. GLADSTONE'S idea is that any measure of Par liamentary Reform should be complete, and one part as good as another ; but who is to de cide the point, and how long should we have to wait for the desirable end being obtained ? The right hon. gentleman made an attempt to increase the representation of South Lancashire, but so little favour did it find with the Committee that it was negatived without a division. We think that Mr. GLADSTONE made a great mis take in the tone in which he addressed the House last night ; it partook too much of the fighting spirit of the early days of the Session, instead of the calm, deliberative character applicable to the present state of things. With a skill worthy of a better cause he turned the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's arguments against himself, by declaring here was an opportunity afforded for carrying out his own principle of giving additional representation to counties. Mr. DISRAELI showed, in answer to this, that he had already sufficiently considered the claims of Lan cashire, as it had received eight of the forty-five seats to be dealt with. At any rate we should think that Mr. GLADSTONE must have found out that his attempts are quite ineffectual to disturb the serenity of the Committee, and that it is idle to talk of adjourning the matter to another year. Colonel GILPIN'S amendment gave rise to more discussion, and it was finally rejected by a majority of twenty-nine, which result was hailed by loud cheers from the Ministerial benches. The object of this clause was to change the plan of striking the four places out of Schedule B, and to deprive of one member the four Parliamentary boroughs next above the line of ten thousand inhabitants. The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained that this proposal would not answer at all, and that it would disturb the settlement of that part of the question connected with the amendments of Mr. LAING and Sergeant GASELEE. Mr. GLADSTONE made a strenuous effort to support the scheme, and Colonel GILPIN also exhibited more zeal than discretion in his reply ; but fate was against them, and this may well be looked upon as the last struggle of any consequence in the management of the Bill. Very little change will have been made in the scheme of redistribution proposed by Mr. DISRAELI after the Whitsuntide holidays ; and it is just as well that it should be so, for few if any of the changes submitted to the com mittee that have been withdrawn, negatived, or de feated, entertained any elements of a more promis ing nature, or appeared of a mare perfect character, Some excitement was created in the debate on the subject of Colonel GmriN's amendment, from the circumstance of the members of the threatened bo roughs doing battle for their respective constituents. ➢lr. DENMAN put forward the claims of Tiverton to double representation on the score of its having so long returned Lord PALMERSTON ; but that was a curious sort of argument, because any one might reasonably suppose that it was an honour to have so distinguished a statesman as its representative. Altogether yesterday's work was well accomplished, and the Committee may turn to fresh fields and pastures now in the consideration of the schedules with renewed hope and energy, and with every prospect of success. or As for the proposal for making a reduction of charges during the French Exhibition, the Go vernment were wise not to entertain it. The plea sure-seekers of Paris and London can alike afford to pay the regular charge, which is not exorbitant There is one reform, however, which is loudly called for, and the grievance presses very heavily in some quarters. We allude to the triple charge made on a letter that is overweight. The sender pays the usual amount, and his letter is perhaps but a fraction over the half ounce. The receiver has thereupon to pay double the usual charge, so that the Post Office makes a clear profit out of the transaction, and is therefore interested in proving a letter overweighted. This is a manifest imposition on the public, for which there is no ex cuse, and it is only surprising it should have been so long tolerated. In the case of a poor family re ceiving an anxiously-expected letter from a relative in one of the colonies, the money required for the doulbe charge may be actually not forthcoming, and the letter may be lost. Two shillings are not always at hand and to spare, and why they should be demanded, in addition to the one already paid on the letter may well be asked. It is hard enough for an ordinary letter to be thus paid for three times over, when the scale, perhaps, has only trembled in the balance, but when the overcharge amounts to sixpences and shillings, it becomes more annoying. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he is inclined to do a popular action, should see that this charge is remitted, and only the deficit demanded upon delivery of the letter. We all know that the Post-office can very well afford to be honest, and its administrators had better follow the old advice, and be just before they are generous in enriching the Treasury at the expense of those who can often very ill afford it. ' Our communications with foreign nations and with our own colonies and dependencies are already so extensive and important, and are so steadily on the increase, that the question of the rate of postage is ono of some consequence. English letters are constantly en route over the whole area of the habitable globe. Every sea and channel is bearing its mails, every railway lino is used as a postal highway. They are passing at the same moment over deserts and mountains, among the wildest soli tudes of nature; they are arriving at the lonely islands of the great oceans, where few besides Englishmen and savages aro to be found. Nearer home, in our own cities and towns and provinces, letters are as much a part of the daily routine of existence as the daylight itself. It cannot, there fore, be said that anything concerning the manage ment of the Post-office is of limited and partial in terest. Neither can the Chancellor of the Ex chequer afford to despise its contributions to the Treasury. Every quarter the Post-office occupies a prominent place in the tables, and always on the sunny aide of the balance-sheet. Its in crease more than keeps pace with the anticipations of the most sanguine financiers. And this is not surprising if we consider that every year our com munications with abroad are increasing, and that education is also making progress. Every emigrant, every traveller, every sailor, naturally wishes to let those at home know what he is doing and seeing while the vast commercial transactions always going on naturally require a corresponding amount of letter writing. Under these circumstances we are not surprised that a question should have been put 1 to the Chancellor of the Exchequer last evening with reference to the desirability of extending the system of cheap postage to all foreign and friendly governments. Mr. DISRAELI'S answer was in some respects satisfactory. Within the past few weeks, he said, the Government had signed a postal convention with the United States, under which, after the Ist of January next, the postage between the two countries will be reduced from one shilling to sixpence the half ounce letter. This will be a great boon to many of our poorer emigrants and their families, and an advantage in every respect, as our postal, communications with the States is of immense extent and importance.

It is the celebrated rosary of Mary Queen refused by us. He promised that the subj e ct of Scots, sent to Melville, her secretary, on th e should not be lost sight of, and we hone that scaffold to the E irl of Arundel, "as the last token of affection to a family who had suffered so m uc h mem bers on both sides will take care to keep him for her." In Melville , s Memoirs will be found to his word. some interesting particulars to those who may be desirous to know more about this valuable relic. The Earl was the son of Thomas fourth Duke of Norfolk, who was executed, and the dukedom was not revived till a subsequent period. Visitors and the public generally will no doubt fully appreciate the artistic taste and liberality of Mr. Howard which has prompted that gentleman to allow the public access to such a rich addition to the wonders of the Exhibition, of articles so valu able to that family, in reference to which the great poet alluded in the celebrated lines—. "Naught can ennoble fools, or slaves, or cowards— No, not all the noble blood of all the Ilowards." Not the least interesting article connected with the Exhibition is the " Tourniquet Compteur," or mechanism which, with unerring certainty, controls the exact number who pass through the turnstile. It was manufactured by M. Detouche of the Rue St. Martin, to whom France is indebted for the most wonderful specimens of clockwork ever known. The tourniquet on this system, it appears, was first manufactured expressly for the Universal Exhibi tion of Paris of 1855, and, having undergone inspec tion by a scientific commission, it has been since adopted at all exhibitions and public establishments where it is necessary to check the number of per sons who pass through it. Although so accurate the mechanism is very simple, and such is the cele brity of this universal machine that it is in use throughout Franco, in Spain, in Russia, Italy, and elsewhere. It might be very advantageously adopted for similar use in England. One great advantage is that extraction of the money received is impossible. THE NAVAL REVIETV. The first detachment of seamen of the Royal Naval Reserve, for service in the fleet to be reviewed by the Queen on 17th inst., arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday from Scotland, and comprised thirty-six fine-looking fellows from Dundee, for the Duncan screw line-of-battle ship, Captain George Hancock, the Coastguard service ship at Queen's Ferry, but now temporarily carrying the broad pendant of Commodore J. Tarleton, C. 8., in the review squadron. The twin screw armour-plated gunvessel Vixen, 4, 754 tons, 160-horse power, from Devonport, and the hydraulic propelled armour-plated gunvessel Waterwitch, probably the ugliest craft sent afloat since the time of the Ark, 777 tons, 167 horse power, Commander Sharpe, from the Thames, • joined the fleet on Sunday evening. The Daphne, 4, screw sloop, 1,081 tons, 300-horse power, Commander George L. Sullivan, also joined the fleet at the same time from Devonport. Yesterday morning the turret ship Wivern 4, 1,899 tons, 350 horse power, Captain Hugh T. Burgoyne, V.C., arrived from Devonport, and added her formidable armament of 12-ton rifled guns to the sum total of the " teeth" of the fleet. Several gunboats also joined yester day. At high water the armoured iron frigates Warrior, 32, 6,019 tons, 1,250 horse power, Cap tain John Corbett, and the Valiant, 24, 4,063 tons, 800 horse power, Commander Charles 11. Stirling, pro tent., went out of Portsmouth har bour and joined the fleet at Spithead, both saluting the flag of the C,mma,nder-in-Chief and Port Admiral flying on board the Victory on clearing the harbour channel. On nearing the Spit buoy some accident appeared to have occurred in the make sail the ee ship. been engine-room of the Valiant, her screw suddenly ceas ing its revolutions, and the ship's company at the swarming natureof aloft the de e n t t oa accident k a mg hl on h sameW h Whatever t time everthe her seamen covered her with all plain sail in a magi cally short space of time, and by its aid she ran down through the fleet, and dropped anchor in a western -WEYMOUTH, Monday. berth in the neighbourhood of the Sutlej and Daun less. The Black Prince weighed her anchor yester day morning at Spithead, and dropped into a new position in the fleet a little further to westward, the Warrior, on going out of the harbour, taking up the Black Prince's old berth. The Warrior Will repeat this manoeuvre, after the Review, at Queenstown. The Mersey, unarmoured frigate, Capt. 11. S. Ifillyar, C. 8., will join • the fleet from P or t smou th harbour on NVeduesday ( to-morrow ) morning, by which time the greater pa rt of he r crew, men on leave from the Resistance , will hav e joined , The , C. 8., will also have joined the fleet by that time. Some tim e turret ship Royal Sovereig n, Ca p t. C. P. Coles during to-morrow all the ships at Spithead will weigh anchor and steam out clear of the Nab Light ship to the S.E., and when there perform a certain evolution as a kind of rehearsal of one portion of the proceed ings on Review day. There will not very probably be much of public interest ou Wednesday. There will, of course, be no firing, and the evolutions out side will be confined to that wonderful signal, No. 019, in obeying which the fleet will steam out to sea in two lines, and on reaching a certain portion the starboard line will turn starboard and the port line to port, and i n this promenade order re-enter the anchorage. It will be, if carried out in thi s or d er, simply " a march up the hill and down a ga i n ," b u t it will neve r th e l es s be attended with this advantage, —it will enable each ship, on her return to Spithead, to anchor in her allotted position in either the star - board or port divisions, in readiness to receive the Queen and the Sultan on the morning of the Re view. We understand that a third ship, in addition to the Ripon and Syria, has been hired of the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company by the Admiralty for the day of the review. The Admiralty have appointed the screw troopship Serapis, Capt. Soady, to receive all those fortunate enough to receive invitations from Whitehall. The sister vessel to the Serapis, the Malabar, Capt. Rich, will be placed at the service of the India Board, &c. The Malabar is coaling in Portsmouth harbour in readi diness for the Review, after being docked, and havingher bottom coated with preservative and anti fouling compositions. One portion of the programme that has been decided up on f or Rev i ew d a y is an attack by a flotilla of gunboats upon forts Monek ton, Blockhouse, and Southsea, representing an at tempt to force the entrance of Portsmouth harbour. Letters by the last Cape mail from H.M.S. Princess Royal, received by our Portsmouth correspondent, dated Simon's Bay, May 27, state that she arrived there on the 25th, just before midnight, after hav ing experienced very bad weather, and springing her main yard off the Cape. She was expected to sail thence for Spithead on the 7th June, and can there fore hardly be expected to arrive borne in time to take her part in the Review. The Scylla, 21, screw corvette, Captain R. W. Courtenay, who had also put in at the Cape on her way home from China, had sailed again for England, and, as she called in at St. Helena on the 9th June, she may possibly arrive in time to take her assigned place in the line of the unarmoured squadron at the Review. The Portsmouth and Ryde Steampacket Company have advertised one of their steamers for the Review at one guinea per head, but the South ampton and Cowes Steampacket Company have ad vertised three of their vessels at 10s. per head. The Alexandra saloon steamer, well known on the Thames, has also been put on for Spithead and the Review, and other companies are following suit w ith their vessels, so that alto ge th er a n unusually large amount of accommodati on a fl oa t will bo available for the general public.

In point of fact the worst is now over, and the chief dangers and dif ficulties of the measure are virtually passed through. The committee of yesterday reaped the advantages CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The latest news received from Mexico in Paris records another assassination. According to a tele- gram from New York, Santa Anna has been shot. The Siecle of to-day has a severe article upon the conduct of Prussia, both as regards its policy to wards the whole of Germany as in reference to the Duchies. The Siccle contends that Prussia does not fulfil any of her engagements. She forces young men to serve in the Prussian Army, and imposes the oath to serve under the Prussian flag upon the mass of the population and fugitives from Denmark. The evident object of this Russian system (says the Siecle) is to demoralise the country and to deprive the population of their energies. The Prussian Government, however, appears, at least, to be dis posed to pay attention to the cry of reprobation emanating from all points, and has ordered an in quiry as to Schleswig and the expulsions. The Moniteur has the following respecting the Emperor Maximilian : " The crime of treason, of which Mexico has just been guilty against the person of the Emperor Maxi milian, is not the first crime of the kind which has been committed in that country. In less than half a century since her so-called independence the an cient Spanish Viceroyalty, so prosperous, so tran quil under the regime of the mother country, has three times stained its soil with the blood of the chiefs of its Government. In 1824 the Emperor Iturbide was shamefully delivered up and shot at Tampico, and in 1829 the President Guerrera, cowardly sold, had the same fate at Acapulco. But whatever interest may attach to the memory of these two personages, nothing in their origin or in their existence is at all comparable with the illus trious victim of whose dark destiny the whole uni verse will hear with horror. " Descended from that glorious Emperor Charles the Fifth, under whose reign Fernand Cortez and his bold companions founded the Mexican monarchy, the Emperor Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, this prince, brought up and impressed with modern ideas and in the practice of Government, seemed designed by Providence to create in the new world an establishment worthy of his house and of the sovereigns who exhibited such anxiety to re cognise his accession to the throne. "For fifty years Mexico had been a prey to the most frightful anarchy, pi!lage, and civil war. He also wished to devote all his endeavours to pacify the country, to repair the chaos of revolutions, to re-establish order, and to endeavour to impart happiness to countries so favoured by Heaven—that monarch, betrayed by one of his subjects whom he had loaded with benefits, has just fallen under the balls of the assassins. The prince accepted on the 10th of April, 1864, the crown which had been offered to him on the 3d of October, 1863, at the chateau of Miramar. A few days afterwards the Emperor and Empress Charlotte sailed for Trieste in the Austrian frigate Novara. They landed at Vera Cruz on the 24th of May, and made their entrance into the capital on the 12th of June, 1864, and were received with universal acclamations." The official Gazette of Vienna publishes an Imperial rescript, which orders the flag of each vessel of the fleet to be covered with crape for seven weeks, in remembrance of the eminent services rendered by the Emperor Maximilian to the Austrian navy while he held the command in chief of it. The review, which was postponed the other day in consequence of the fatal news from Mexico, took place this afternoon in the Champs Elysees and the Place de la Concorde. The Emperor and the Sultan were present, but no notice having been given of it, or there being a fear of another dis appointment, the spectators were not very numerous. The weather was all that could be desired, and not hot or oppressive. The tempera ture changes several times a day. In the morning early the wind was very cold. King Charles the Fifteenth of Sweden, after having been present at the grand manoeuvres of the troops in the environs of Stockholm, which will bo concluded on the 10th instant, proposes to come to France, and is expected at Vichy about the 14th of this month. A hint to visitors to the Exhibition in regard to time may be derived from an accurate calculation. Au average of five minutes should be allowed to each stand or case. As there are 45,000, this would require 225,000 minutes, or 3,750 hours, or 156 days and 6 hours ; that is to say, 5 months, days, and 6 hours, reckoning the day at 24 hours. But as the Palace can only be visited from 10 o'clock in the morning till 8 in the evening—that is w fr o n u ni ld l S rose h urii n o pn u poitr r he s seil a llmsg d orn a rt y hne , ienn instead 0 of days,24 t° cou s r a s y e and t 24--this s 2 inspection hous of the Exhibition, therefore, is initost until only yx ti r on e m ltahs a et i n seivx e e v nm e irnoygn months, it it would be impossible to devote even 5 minutes to eachln thest and.Ar Art and Labour Department of the English with ,r o it r tin t e i l o te n v to o e f o t hb h ej e o so E etes x n h o i f b p i Itri prominent ii n na vi t ne h e e hn r et e e lan e i r s e t e m ri a e nnylviparticularlynatleurese.tsrtuione On referring to the catalogue I find that they were kindly sent to give increased value to the Exhib it i on • THE SUN, LONAJON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1867. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ABY SSIN lAN C API I VES. Mrs. Stern has received the following letter from her husband, one of the captives in Abyssinia : " Magdala, May 1, 1867. " My dear Charlotte,—Another month has passed since I last wrote to you, a month like all the rest in this miserable prison life, full of anxious care and wearisome inactivity. Sometimes I squat down and try to beguile the tedious hours by writing sketches of sermons, and when my thoughts become confused I divert my mind—and a sad di version it is—by diffusing on closely-written pages tl.e varied incidents of our painful captivity. I would occasionally furnish you with toy pen's me lancholy effusions were it not imprudent to keep anything of so compromising a character around me. It is astonishing to think that in the wilds of Africa the greatest caution should be requisite in the expression of one's ideas. The very noticn of such a thing makes one smile, and yet it is no less strange than true that a single sentence, and that, too, couched in a foreign language, may by the evil disposed be perverted into the most wilful, selfish, and mischievous purpose. I once thought that human nature, notwithstanding its fall, still retained something of its original noble stamp ; but bitter experience has dispelled the pleasing illusion, and convinced me that the heart of man is the most de ceptive, mobilious, and dangerous thing in creation. In our immediate neighbourhood matters have not much mended since my last. The King is still pur suing his work of devastation in the provinces that are subject to his doubtful sway. The rebels, too, with the disaffected peasantry for their allies, are doing their utmost to resent the cruelties of their lately owned ruler and acknowledged chief. It is, however, evident that affairs must come to a crisis and an early solution. The ruthless ferocity of the King has exhausted the patience of the most timid and servile, and all appear now to be animated by on© deep and ardent passion—viz., the overthrow of the tyrant. The army he once had at his behest is scattered in bands of rebels over the country ; and as he can never recruit again his incredibly diminished hordes, he will either be forced to make this Amba his last asylum and tomb, or, followed by a few faithful adherents, and the most valuable captives, seek a home in the marshy jungles and entangled feverish villages of the lowlands. Whatever the issue of the contest may be, our prospects, humanly speaking, are anything but bright. God, certainly, can deliver us, and if we continue to trust in Him everything may be overruled in mercy and compas sionate wisdom for our good. We have friends near and around us, but in this land cupidity and avarice dissolve every bond, even the most tender and sacred —and, after all that has transpired, the pettiest and most contemptible chieftain, if he gets us into his power, may thick that by retaining in his clutches a few defenceless Europeans he will make his for tune. Should the Metropolitan survive the ever growing confusion, we shall have an honest and dis interested friend ; but this, like everything else, is still problematical. About a fortnight ago all the European employes, with the exception of two old men, were, together with their wives and children and their property, with Mrs. Rosenthal and Mrs. Flad, seized. The motives which prompted his Majesty to adopt such measures of severity towards individuals who have always been most subservient and obsequious to his whims is still a mystery. The King brought various trumpery charges against them, which they repelled with energy. Their pro perty has been partially restored to them, but they are confined in Debra Tabor, where they are guarded, but not chained. It is said that the report of Mr. Flad's returning without the artisans, &c., furnished the ostensible cause for their imprison ment. This outburst of unprovoked resentment augurs nothing auspicious for us, and probably our position, as the majority of us ex pected, will not be enhanced by Mr. Flad's return. Negotiations and delays might have averted the storm, but now, as it seems looming nearer and nearer, we will say Thy will be done.' You and all interested in our liberation, notwithstanding all that has been written from hence, must have been grievously deceived about the character of the King. Presents with another man might have effected our deliverance, but King Theodorus, though not loth to accept the oue, wants the hostages as well—a security, as he imagines, for ever increasing conces sions. .1 am quite prepared for every emergency, and therefore do not trouble myself about the fu ture. We have a God who is not confined to space or locality, and if we faithfully confide iu Ilim, He may in the hour of the greatest extremity discomfit the wicked and preserve his own. " May 2. "I will just add a line to my letter of yesterday, as it is doubtful whether the opportunity for writing will not before many days become exceedingly diffi cult, if not absolutely impossible. The return of Mr. Flad, the disappointment of the King in not obtaining the requested accession to his white vic tims, and the consciousness that neither intrigue nor cunning will avail him to extort fresh conces sions from the British Government, or the genero sity of British Christians, all combine to bring be fore long our melancholy and doleful history to a crisis. Every day, nay, every hour, we expect to be transferred to the common prison, and to get hand chains again. Only a week ago upwards of 200 prisoners, among whom are many persons of high rank, were ordered to be executed. This in discriminate massacre, which has probably been prompted by the want of guards to protect them, indicates no improvement in the tyrant's temper. We fear that wilful, wicked misrepresentations, and cruel, unpardonable selfishness, united in conceal ing the true state of our position and the well known designs of the King. God, in His infinite mercy, may interpose and deliver us ; and if not, our sepa -1 ration will only be for a short period, and our re union in glory for ever and ever. ,‘ God bless you and the darling children, and that we may both receive strength according to our need is the fervent prayer of your ever affectionate husband, 41 HENRY A. STERN." Tart c. E el Mt r „zl:t.-.•!: HER MAJESTY, &c. —4- WINDSOR CASTLE, July 8.

General Ord has modified the regulations for re gistration in his district, in conformity with the opinion of the Attorney-General. It is reported that President Johnson is about to remove General Sheridan, and appoint General Rousseau his successor. General Sickles has seized the Savings Bank at Charleston for refusing to pay interest on the de posits of the national soldiers before the war. The Surratt trial is drawing to a close. The evi dence latterly had been principally a repetition of that given on the trial of Mrs. Surratt. Judge Payne, Harrold, and the majority of the New York Constitutional Convention have reported a Bill opposing female and favouring negro suffrage. The Presidential party have been enthusiastically welcomed at New Haven. They made only a brief stoppage at New York, but did not stop at Philadel phia, and arrived at Baltimore yesterday, where they were cordially welcomed by the State Muni cipal authorities and the people. President John son made a short speech, stating that the reception he had recently met with convinced him of the ap proach of the era of reconciliation and good feeling. The Indians in Kansas and Nebraska had recom menced hostilities, and attacked the forts Wallace and Barker, but were repulsed. Advices received here from Mexico state that the Mexican press were urging the execution of Maxi milian, and that Escobedo had threatened to depose Juarez if he opposed the execution.

ROME, July 2. Yesterday evening at seven o'cl oc k t h e Pope re ceived in the Upper Atrium of the Basilica of St. Peter's the deputation commissioned to present to his Holiness addresses of devotion from one hun dred Italian cities, collected together in the form of a magnificent album. This deputation consisted of more than 2,000 persons, comprising ma n y em i nent Italians, under the presidency of Count Boschetti, with whom the idea of the album originated, and who presented it to the Holy Father on behalf of his fellow countrymen. In so doing the Count de livered a long address, which, although couched in guarded terms, was characterised throughout by hostility to the Italian Government. When Count Boschetti had finished speaking the Pope, amid the enthusiastic vivas of the assembly, rose from his chair of state to reply I have always loved Italy. I have prayed for h er happiness, and God knows my affection for her. Nevertheless I must condemn, and I shall ever con demn, the efforts that are made in Italy to consti tute a unity without charity, without justice, a unity cursed by God.—(Here his Holiness was in terrupted for a few moments by enthusiastic ap plause and cries of Very good, very good,' g Yes ! cursed, cursed !" Long live the Holy Father P) I desire that the rights of all should be respected, and especially those of the Church, and I therefore solemnly protest against the violation which those rights have suffered.—(' Yes, yes !' and vivas for the Church.) I am deeply touched by so many de monstrations of affection from the veritable chil dren of Italy. This album, your presence here, are to me solemn assurances of the piety of the ma jority of Italians. Bear to your families and your cities the expression of my gratitude and my special benediction." (" Long live the Holy Father !" "Long live the Pope-King !") The Pope manifested much emotion, even to tears, at the affectionate enthusiasm of the assembly. All present were admitted to kiss the hand of his Holiness before departure. An address to the Powers is now being circulated among the bishops, calling upon them to restore to the Holy See the former Pontifical provinces now incorporated with the Italian kingdom. TRIPLE BIRTII.--Margaret, Sheridan, the wife of John Sheridan, of 3, Austin-terrace, Battersea-park, was safely delivered of triplets on Saturday, the 6th inst. The infants, who are all girls, aro doing well, as is the mother. Mr. Kempster, a surgeon attending her, has taken steps to inform her Majesty of the occurrence, so as to obtain the usual royal gift, which is much needed by the poor woman. THE TEA TRADE, July B.—The deliveries in London made up for the - .rook are 1,393,7331 b., being an increase of 100,6011 b., compared with the previous week. STATE VISIT TO THE OPERA.—By command of the Queen, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will visit the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, in state, on Monday next. This Royal visit will bo in honour of his Majesty the Sultan, who will accompany the Prince of Wales to the Opera. It is intended that the reception shall take place in the Floral Hall, the state procession passing through the hall to the Royal box. WE LATE KING OF IHE BELGIANS. Shortly after the death of the late King of the Belgians, her Majesty the Queen gave instructions for the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of the illustrious deceased monarch in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The position assigned to the intended memorial was the recess beneath the painted window representing the " Adoration of the Magi," on the north side, and at the west end of the nave of the cathedral. The site, in fact, adjoins that occupied by the cenotaph erected to the memory of the Princess Charlotte, and a more suitable position in the whole of the cathedral could scarcely have been found. The de signing and modelling of the tomb was entrusted to Miss Durant. It is of a whitish description of marble, the total length being upwards of 7 feet, and the height a little over 8 feet. The effigy of the de ceased monarch is sculptured in a recumbent posi tion upon the top of the tomb. The King is repre sented as attired in a military uniform, and wearing his decorations. his head reposes on the Belgian lion. Beneath the figure, and on the front of the monument, are two white marble panels, with in scriptions in old English letters, coloured red. The first of these is as follows :—" Leopold, Prince of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, elected first King of the Belgians. Married, first, the Princess Charlotte of Wales ; secondly, the Princess Louise d'Orleans, by whose side he lies buried at Laken, in Belgium. Born December 16, 1790 ; died December 16, 1865, after a prosperous reign of 31 years." The other inscription states that--" This monument was erected by Queen Victoria in memory of the uncle who held a father's place in her affections." The various portions of the monument have been for warded to Windsor, the work of erecting the monu ment having been entrusted to the Messrs. Toole, cathedral masons, of Westminster. When finished, the monument will not be uncovered till her Ma jesty has first seen it. It will probably be completed before the visit of the Belgians to Windsor. ELECTION FOR COMMON COLINCILMA.N.— Yesterday Mr. Wingfield liorra was elected by a show of hands common councilman for the ward of Portsoken, in the room o f M r. Ki ng. A p o ll was demanded f or M r . Defries, and was appointed to coMMence this morning at eleYon, and dm at four o'clock, TILE WIMBLEDON MEETING. The meeting at Wimbledon commenced yesterday morning, and was continued during the day with a s'noothness and regularity that augurs well for the future, and proves the success of the arrangements of the new executive. The number of competitors for the most interest ing series of breech-loading prizes was not very great. At the present moment, when the Ordnance Select Committee are engaged in determining the future model breech-loader for the British infantry, such a competition enables ono to judge to some ex tent of the character of the future arm. Several admirable weapons are mentioned as being brought forward for trial. The Snider and the Remington were the only two of any note that were used yes terday, and, so far as one could judge from three minutes' rapid firing, the arms leave very little to bo desired, though there is plenty to be done before the cartridges can be pronounced perfect. The Re mington is a model which, in its unimproved form, excited considerable attention at the Wimbledon meeting last year. It has since had sundry little de fects remedied, and, as now modified, is one of nine which have been selected by the Government for the final trials at Woolwich out of 112 ori ginally sent in. A very fair amount of dexterity was shown by several of the shooters, seven rounds a minute, with good military practice at 200 yards, being achieved. Of course, if mere rapid firing with out:aim had been the object, a far greater number of rounds might have been got off. The best practice during the day was made with the Remington, of .5 -inch gauge. Mr. Maerroll made 50 marks with 21 rounds ; and Mr. J. Taylor, of the Civil Ser vice, with 20 rounds, in the three minutes made the very good score, with the same weapon, of one bull's-eye, fifteen centres, and four outers, or 57 marks. The Enfield Association Cup, open to all members of the Association, five rounds at 200 and five at 500 yards, may be considered as won already, although the competition is open for four days. Mr. E. Ross, the Queen's prizeman in the first year of the Association, made the remarkable score of 37 out of a possible 40, with all bull's-eyes at 200, and 17 at 500 yards. The Nestor of British riflemen, Captain Horatio Ross, is also in excellent shooting form, to judge from his having recently beaten some of the best men in the late competition for the Cambridge long range cup at 1,000 and 1,100 yards. The running deer as usual attracted a fair degree of attention, and some very good practice was made. One gentleman, Dr. Evans, of the 55th Lancashire, out of 20 rounds managed to score 5 bull's-eyes, 11 centres, 3 outers, and only 1 miss. Captain Bland, 76th Regiment, made several consecutive bull's eyes with the long Enfield. At the close of the shooting, 7.15 p.m., it was found impossible to conclude the County All Corners' Match ; the Middlesex men had one round each to fire, and the Lancashire about three rounds each. It may, however, be safely predicted that Middlesex will be the winners, as they were 20 marks ahead at 800 yards, and were maintaining their relative superiority at 900. The result is not very surprising, considering that the following gen tlemen are the representatives of Middlesex :—Mr. Edward Ross, the lion. J. Gordon, Mr. Dunlop, and Mr. Pcterkin, all of the London Scottish ; Lieut. Pixley, Captain Jacques, Mr. Pell, Inns of Court; and Mr. J. Rigby, of Dublin. Lieut.-Colonel Creed's fine corps of Artillery, that moved into camp in such excellent order on Saturday evening, was erroneously described in yes terday's papers as the 3d Middlesex Artillery, instead of the Ist Middlesex. The 31 Middlesex Artillery was officially inspected on Saturday even ing, and therefore it is hardly necessary to say did not go to Wimbledon.

The largest prospects have been much improved by the rain which fell 0 11 Wednesday and Thursday, and which has been fol lowed by genial heat. The fields look beautiful ja their luxuriance, and the potatoes in particular pre sent a most healthful appearance. New potatoes ar ° abundant in the market, and hay is being briskli, saved, with a fair average yield ; but it is remarked that the flax crop is an exception, and slightly' shades the picture of agricultural prosperity. Gene, rally speaking, it is far from being good as in forme' years. In most places it is uneven and short. Th e green crops, which the drought had made rath e., delicate, have been greatly revived by the rain, an f there is every reason to expect that the return ' cereals will be satisfactory to the farmer. The friends of Mr. Warren, the Solicitor-Gener al ' expect he will be returned for the Dublin Univer sity without opposition. lie is very popular wi th the clergy as a constant and zealous advocate of tb . ° Church Education Society, and he has added to 111° claims by his able conduct of the Fenian prosec iv tions, in the occasional absence of the Attorney' General. There will be a fierce contest to-morrow for tba office of Lord M a yor of Dublin for the year 186 s e The friends and admirers of Alderman Joynt putting him up for the almost unprecedented bon° of being elected to the office the second time cono.: cutively ; and the Conservatives have nominated I‘ll't J.

The matter will be fo r t'., “55 embroiled by the debate in the corporation - on University education.
