By this time people are beginning to open their eyes to the consequences of Prussian interference, and can understand how much misrepresentation has been made by those who have been declaring that all sorts of advantages would be received by those who were put under the rule of the Berlin Government. Frankfort has been marked out as a special victim by Herr BISMARCK from the time of the change of last year, and he has carried out his vengeful scheme, and pursued his devastating:policy with a vigour and perseverance worthy of a better cause. Slow and sure has been his motion, and while the world at large, weary of the subject of his encroachments, and perhaps thinking he had amended his ways, have gone on their way, his mischievous plans have been maturing, and the re sult will soon be visible. The prosperity of the famous city of the middle ages has been undermined, and time, that general restorer, has not effected any compunction in its fate since the changes which oc carred so suddenly in its midst. The last news is that the Prussian policy has caused such general dissatis faction and disquietude that some of the leading houses in the city intend to leave shortly, feeling convinced that the object of the new rulers is to " ruin" Frankfort and its business. It is unfortu nately true that this is not unlikely to be the case, for the experience of the past attests only too fully to the cruel character and deep-laid designs of Prus sian schemes. They fix their course, and nothing can make them deviate from carrying it out to the uttermost. No considerations of the claims of honour or of justice, no compunction for the inju ries which they are inflicting, can ever induce them to pause and reflect, and finally come to a more moderate decision. By order of the Prussian Civil Commission the telegraph office of Reuter was closed on the 6th instant, and this notwithstanding that the authorities of the city had previously awarded their permission for a telegraph office to be established there. Such conduct condemns itself, and shows how little we can expect from a policy that is so obstructive and oppressive. To let a year pass before adopting such stringent measures is a part of that cunning calculation so characteristic of the wily statesman who sways the councils of Berlin, but surely by this time all but the most infatuated must be convinced of the meaning hidden under all this scheming and by-play. It is, indeed, to be regretted that a better defence was not made for the famous old city, long styled the " free," but now, alas, the slave of caprice and the victim of tyranny. The French press are not yet weary of discussing the subject of the chances of peace or of war, and of course divers opinions prevail in the matter. The speech of the Grand Duke of Baden has occupied a good deal of attention in some quarters, and his resolve to make every sacrifice for the maintenance of Ger man unity is much commented upon. The remarks in the Libertjon the subject are rather singular. It is said that the choice lies between a renewal of friendship with Prussia and Italy, or a war against a " Germany which has voluntarily placed itself under the command of King WILLIAM." This is strange, to say the least of it, and we fancy that this undefined exponent of the situation would be puzzled to define his meaning in an accu rate manner. Nor can he account for the war which disturbed the prosperity of Europe last year, and which was declared by some to rival the campaigns of the First NAPOLEON. Above all, how can he account for the reign of force which is being celebrated in all places where the new regime holds good. " War," continues this caviller, " for the fifth article of the Treaty of Prague ; that is to say, for a handful of Danes, and for one of the banks of the Maine : two purely German questions, two questions utterly alien to us." It may be remarked that this style of argument is exactly like that which was so much in vogue at the time of the Dano- German war some three years back. Then all the talk was of the folly and inconsistency of making so much ado about a question which was not of money, and had no claim on the attention of Europe generally. We were furthermore told that the intention of Prussia was not to intimidate, and that her feeling was not that of aggrandisement. Unfortunately this was received as true by the majority of the world, ever ready to follow the winning side, and what has been the result of that culpable credulity ? The war of last summer would never have taken place in our generation had a more decided stand been made for the Elbe Duchies, and, at least, for the integrity and independence of Denmark. The partial ruin of that gallant little kingdom has not been accomplished without leaving many memorable tears behind to tell of its injuries and its afflictions. It has fared ill with many of those States of Germany who so ungenerously urged for ward the war against Denmark : they have fallen into the snare that they rejoiced to see laid for others, and have had more practical than pleasant illustrations of the welcome which Prussia accords to her newly-acquired subjects, and of the sway which she exercises in so professedly a benignant manner over her additional subjects. It is no exaggeration to say that no ques tion of this sort can be considered strictly to appertain to the country it immediately concerns. More or less, it affects the whole of Europe, and the act of establishing a precedent like that, of disregarding treaties in the Danish war was a most fatal one. It was an error of judgment on the part of Lord RUSSELL, and of the Cabinet of which he was a member, which can never be for gotten nor forgiven. As time goes on we see more and more how deeply they were deceived by the pro fessions of BISMARCK, and how far they were led astray. We do not for a moment anticipate that the present Government will follow the example of putting too much faith in the Berlin Govern ment. Indeed, on the contrary, we think that they fully comprehend the case, and before long it may turn out that Prussia has a very difficult part to play ; and in the time of danger she can not possibly be served by willing troops in those places where the iron heel of conquest has trampled upon the rights and liberties of the people. The Atlantic Telegraph brings the important news that President JOHNSON has proclaimed a general amnesty, excluding only high rebel officials and persons implicated in the assassination of Pre sident LINCOLN, or in the maltreatment of Federal prisoners. This is very different from the plan of action favoured by the Radicals, and it is difficult to see how they can keep up their distinctions of registered and non-registered, of loyal and disloyal, in the face of a wholesale pardon, which restores the most active members of the Confederacy to full equality with the Northerners. The " high officials" who are excepted have for the most part received individual pardons ; if not, they cau obtain them on application, unless some serious drawback exists. The PRESIDENT has evidently determined upon a vigorous course of action, and before Congress re assembles he will have worked great changes. The amnesty was talked of some time since, but the subject dropped; now its actual accomplishment has taken the public by surprise. Meanwhile the public intelligence of an earlier date, which reaches us by the mail, proves how necessary it was that Mr. JOHNSON should boldly assume the direction of affairs. Charges of disloyalty aro constantly trumped up in the Southern districts to nerve as pretexts for removing the civil officials, and re placing them with others of the General's selection. Thus SHERIDAN has removed the State Treasury Controller and the Attorney-General of Texas on charges of disloyalty. General POPE has suspended the exercises at the Augusta University, on account of a disloyal speech made by one of the students. General BROWNLOW has suspended the disband ment of the State Guard, giving as his reason the disloyal tendencies of the people of Tennessee. Everywhere we hear the same story told, with variations, indeed, but substantially the same. Arbitrary interference with the civil rights and liberties of the Southern people, unscru pulous exercise of irresponsible power, a determina tion to find an excuse for condemning the white population and exalting Radical principles, such have been the moving springs of the Southern military district commanders. The consequences are what might have been foreseen. The whole population is becoming disorganised, and the negroes are forming themselves into bodies with secret de signs by no means in accordance with public safety. In Virginia numerous formidable and secret organi sations are discovered, and fears entertained of a negro insurrection in several parts of the South. The negroes can have no object in rising except the spoliation of their white neighbours. Their political rights are fully acknowledged, and only too much indulgence is shown them in every respect, through the influence of those who seek their own ends by the elevation of the negro. Happily, in the midst of all this, harmony is said to be fully restored between the PRESIDENT and Gen. GRANT. The report that GRANT had refused to ac knowledge the PRESIDENT'S authority over the district commanders is denied. The new Secretary of State protested, it seems, against the course determined on by his chief, but never refused to execute his orders. On the 28th of August General GRANT removed General SICKLES, and appointed General CANBY in his place, according to Mr. JOHNSON'S direction, and it was thought that as soon as General THOMAS recovered his health he would occupy the post originally assigned to him. Meanwhile a cordial understanding is said to exist between the PRESI DENT and the Secretary for War, and it is to be hoped that their united action will secure internal peace to the long-harassed and distracted population of the South, thus restoring harmony and prosperity throughout the Union. The revelations before the Manchester Trades Union Commission continue to be of the most startling character. The saw-grinders of Sheffield must share their unenviable notoriety with the brickmakers of Manchester. We have the old story over again—the destruction of property, the secret attacks by night, even wanton murder, all on account of some infraction of the union rules and regulations. The men, it may be said, are led on from step to step, and have no intention of commit ting so serious an offence as taking life when they begin. This may be true, but when men start on midnight expeditions, carry ing loaded firearms, we cannot suppose that they intend to be very scrupulous in the use of them. The atrocities revealed at Manchester are not in themselves new; the motives which prompted them were similar to those which actuated the Shef field culprits ; the mutilation of the society's books is not new either. The noticeable thing is that the evidence before this commission so fully con firms the impression made by its predecessor, and that these terrible actions, so far from being, as some would have us believe, denounced by the body politic of the men, are supported and paid for by them. The evidence of a master brickmaker at Droylsden, who was formerly secretary to the Ashton Bricklayers' Union, is con clusive on this point. Ile says that there were generally a number of men ready to execute orders. Only a small minority expressed disappointment, but the majority decided. " When houses were to be destroyed or bricks spoilt it was not men tioned in general meetings, but the expenditure of money for such purposes was generally under stood among the members." There were usually four or five such cases to be settled while he was in office and he believed it was so now. When the men were tried for murder more than £2OO was paid for their defence. Seven unions, including those of Manchester, Liverpool, and Sheffield, subscribed for the defence of the men who committed the murder. Such fasts as these speak volumes, and it would be well if those who would befriend the working man instead of trying to evade or contra. diet them would acknowledge the existence of a terrible and wide-spread evil, and exert themselves to find a remedy. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Emperor and Empress arrived at Biarritz yesterday morning in perfect health. The health of the King of Sweden, Charles the XV., has been entirely re-established by the waters of Vichy and the regimen he adopted there. His Majesty, who has resided in the country since his return, is expected shortly at Stockholm. His Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden is at pre sent at the camp of Gardenden, where he has taken the command of the troops. The official Gazette of the Kingdom of Italy pub lishes the royal decree which dissolves the perma nent squadron of the Mediterranean. That squad ron will be reinstituted in the month of March, 18G8. _ The Moniteur, in its bulletin, says :—" After some difficulties the military question seems to be settled between Prussia and the Duchy of Bruns wick. The latter has obtained the same conditions as the Kingdom of Saxony and the two Mecklen burgs. Its contingent will be exclusively recruited from subjects of Brunswick, and will retain a part of the uniform. All the officers, to the rank of colonel inclusive, will be appointed by the territorial sovereign. " In Bavaria the camp, which is annually formed on the banks of the Lech, has just commenced its manoeuvres. It will be composed of two divisions, placed under the orders of Prince Luitpold. General 'faun, aide de camp general of the King, will command one of the divisions." The Constitutionnel has the following upon the subject of the despatch of the Marquis de Moustier " Public opinion in England is intensely satisfied with the declarations contained in the despatch of the Marquis de Moustier. Most of the English journals, as well as the German papers, applaud the feeling which dictated this despatch, and congratu late the Imperial Government upon the faithfulness of its policy." A calculation has been made which will give an idea of the immense additional consumption by foreigners iu consequence of the Exhibition. It is stated that the train from Prussia alone brings thily through Namur 1,225 travellers. They began to arrive on the 18th of May. At the date of the 31st of August, therefore, the number amounted to 19,610. Suppose an average expenditure of 15fr. a day, and in twenty days this would make an amount of 5,880,000 fr., levied only upon the Prussians who have passed through Namur on their way to Paris. A broker on the Boulevard de Clichy, Batig nolles, near Paris, exhibits a portrait, on which is inscribed genuine portrait of Paganini, painted by himself. It is a miserable similitude of the " human face divine," and if it be really the pro duction of Paganini all will easily admit that Paga nini could play much better than he could paint. News has been received at Berlin from the Consul-General of Prussia in Mexico that Baron Magnus was on the Bth of July, the date of his correspondence, at San Luis de Potosi in convalescence. The illness of this repre sentative of the Prussian Government was the sole cause of the interruption in his communi cations to the Prussian Ministry. It is stated from Vienna that the visit of the Emperor and Empress of Austria to Paris will take place in the early part of October. Before the departure of the Emperor and Em press for Biarritz, on Saturday, his Majesty gave an audience to Countde Goltz, the Prussian Ambas sador, and also to Monsigneur Chigi, the Pope's Nuncio. The Paris papers, to-day, are remarkably defi cient of news or incident. The Council of State, in its judicial capacity, has just given an important decision upon a point of Ecclesiastical law. A Catholic clergyman of Paris, who was ordained in the year 1828, and who bad officiated in various parishes, had been curate of Neuilly since 185. lie had lived there several years with his sister-in-law and her children, and enjoyed the general esteem of his parishioners, when, in consequence of some calumnious reports respecting him, the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris first suspended and then dismissed him from the curacy. The curate appealed to the Council of State, contending that the suspension was an abuse of power. He also made a canonical appeal to the Court of Rome. The latter appeal was submitted to the Sacred Congregation, interpreter of the Coun cil of Trent, and after a long and minute investiga tion it was declared that the order which had de prived the minister of his curacy could not be sus tained, and ought to be annulled. The Holy Father approved and confirmed this decision, and on the 29th of August, 1864, an ordinance was issued for Rome, restoring the minister to all the rights of which he had been dispossessed. Through the medium of the Pope's Nuncio this ordinance was communicated to the Archbishop of Paris, and it was intimated that the minister desisted from his appeal as to an abuse of power, but he claimed a restitution to office in compliance with the ordi nance issued, on the part of the Pope. An Impe rial decree was, however, issued on the part of the Minister of Public Worship, opposing the Papal de cision, and confirming the sentence of dismissal by the Archbishop of Paris. The former curate of Neuilly now appealed to the Council of State against the sentence, on the ground that the Arch bishop of Paris had no power to annul the acts of the Sovereign Pontiff. M. Labordere, advocate of the curate, contended that the faithful of the parish of Neuilly demanded the return of their minister, and,that, in pursuance of the sentence of the Holy Father, he ought to be reinstated in all his rights. The Council of State, however, in approval of the arguments of their Commissary, M. Ancor, decided that the sentence of the Court, in matters of dis pute regarding archiepiscopal matters of contention, could not be disputed in France without the autho rity of the French Government. The annulation of the sentence of the Archbishop of Paris by the Sovereign Pontiff could not be registered by the Council of State, unless with the permission of the Government. The Gov ernmen t, not having given that consent, the deprivation of office decreed by the Archbishop of Paris must be sustained. THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS. MEETING THIS DAY. This morning Major Bainbridge and Mr. Nassau, senior, the A;sistant Commissioners appointed by the Boundary Commissioners for England and Wales under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, held a Court at the Vestry-hall, Kings's-road, Chelsea, for the purpose of inquiring into the boundaries of the proposed new borough of Chelsea, including Hammersmith, and one or two outlying parishes. The proceedings were not at all of au exciting c h ar acter, indeed very little interest was manifested in them. when the Commissi oners commenced their labours there w ere onl y t wo or three gentle men present, conversation was entered upon in a boundary map, which was spread connection out en upon t the table. with In answer to a ques tion, th e Commissioners stated that they were not instructed to inquire into paro chial boundaries, and had onl y to deal with the pro posed borough generally. In the course of the morning a few gentleman in terested in the matter dropped i n, and afforded the Assistant-Commissioners such information on local matters as they bad at their disposal, and upon this they (the Assistant - Commissioner s ) will in due time make their report. Alarming Occurrence at Birmingham. On Sunday night, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, a most extraordinary a ccid ent occurred on Soho Pool, Birmingham, bolonging to Mr. Knibb, by which about 150 persons were placed in imminent peril of their lives. It appeared that recently Mr. Knibb has had a spacious raft constructed, capable of holding 300 or 400 persons, and on the raft dur ing the summer months crowds of young people have disported themselves. A small steamer has also been recently launched on the pool. On Sunday evening the raft was attached to the steamer, and visitors were invited to go for a ride round the pool. The cost was ld., and about 150 persons, chiefly females and children, took their places on the raft. When the voyage was about half completed a child accidentally fell into the water, and a young man immediately jumped in after it and rescued it. The people on the raft at once heedlessly rushed to the side on which the accident had occurred, and as the raft instantly tilted nearly over, the 150 persons were as quickly floundering in the water, but having the raft still under their feet. The engineer of the steamer, seeing how things were, reversed the engine, driving the raft into shallow water, and, by means of boats and other assistance which was at hand, the people were got safely on the bank. Several females, however, who were up to their knees in water, and who fancied the raft would sink still deeper, made energetic • plunges for a place of safety ; of course, they only found themselves in deeper water, strugglin g f orlife, but every one who had gone on the raft was rescued. officials at Liv er p oo l are THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITIoN. —The Admiralty pushing on with the p re p aration of the ten st eam transports for the service b etween Bom bay and Ifassowah, and th e grea t er number of these ves sels have gone across to th e Birkenhead docks to take in coal from the tips there. A great deal of practical incon venience, however, has been sustained in consequence of the coalhoavo rs h av i ng taken advantage o f t h e demand for their labour to s t r ik e for an advance o f 25 per cent. on their wages, a n d, in order th a t the work may not be re tarded, the Gov ernment agents have b een co mpelled to pay the advanced r a t e . The ;tillers also, a re endeavouring to make hay while th e sun shines'' and yesterday a bill was issued requesti ng a ll men who were about to engage for the expedition not to accept less than £4 per month wages, the present rate of wages being £2 10s. It is thought that for the reason given above this demand will also have to be complied with. HARLOW ANNUAL FAIR. —Yesterday this great Essex fair, at which has hitherto been exhibited the unsold cattle from Barnet, in addition to the largo contributions of horn stock from Norfolk and Suffolk, was hold at Harlow, but the county regulations prohibited the cattle trade being carried on. In the horse fairyoung and sound harness horses sold at 35 to 45 guineas, and light nag horses at 25 to 40 guineas, and ponies and aged horses 8 to 14 gitineas. Several droves of sheep of the Scotch breeds were brought into the vicinity of the fair, but sheep-dealers experienced a dull demand. LA TEST I ti TEL LIG ENUE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) A USTR I A.

In consequence of General Grant holding in abey ance Mr. Johnson's orders for the removal of General Sickles, and the appointment of General Hancock to the command of General Sheridan's district, a report got into general circulation that General Grant had refused to execute the President's orders, and had denied the President's autho rity over the district commanders. It is now re ported that Grant strongly protested against the course taken by the President, but acknowledged his authority and will execute his orders. The relations between President Johnson and General Grant are, moreover, said to be of a cordial charac ter. General Grant executed yesterday the Presi dent's order removing General Sickles and appoint ing General Canby to be his succesor It is expected that Grant will to-day execute the order for superseding Sheridan by Hancock. It is also believed that Thomas, on recovering his health, will relieve Hancock. General Sheridan has removed the State Treasury Comptroller and the Attorney-General of Texas, on charg , s of dis loyalty. General Pope has temporarily sus pended the commencement of the exercises at the Augusta (Georgia) University on account of a dis loyal speech having been made by one of the stu dents.

Immediately after his arrival iu Vienna he was sent for by the Emperor. Having given his Majesty a detailed account, ho was ordered to Possonhofen to the Archduchess Sophia. The doctor, who has received from the hands of the Emperor the insignia of the Order of Leopold, in recompense for his courageous devotedness, is the bearer of a letter from the confoosor of the Emperor Maximilian, written after his Majesty had confessed for the last time. A Hungarian, cook to the Emperor, was a witness to his execution. It is confirmed that his Majesty's body is deposited in a church at Queretaro ; the coffin is said to have a movca",le panel, permitting a view of the face." TILE TRADES' UNION MISCIIIEF.—Another in stance of the pernicious effects of trades' unions came under the notice of the Liverpool magistrates yesterday. Mr. Joseph Howe, a master bricklayer, summoned ono of his apprentices for absconding from his service. Mr. Howe asked to be allowed to withdraw the summons, on the ground that the union had threatened to force all his mon to quit his employment if ho proceeded against the lad• The summons was withdrawn. FALMOUTIL—The Prussian brig Otta, Ahlmaum, master, from Playa Colorado, with a cargo of dyewoocl, having also on freight $lO,OOO, arrived off this port, and, receiving orders for Havre, proceeded yesterday afternoon. THE BRITISH ASSOCIA7IO - N. DUNDEE, Monday. The Chemical Section has been occupied with a subject which is, in a certain sense, of national in terest. A discussion on the decay of stone applic able to building purposes was originated by Mr. Spiller, who is of opinion that the corrosive action of the atmosphere on our public buildings is owing to the sulphuric acid diffused through the air. Mr. Spence also took this view. The latter gentleman stated that 120 tons of sulphur were poured annu ally into the atmosphere by the chimneys of Man chester. If they got rid of the black smoke they would have a still stronger acid than at present. Mr. Spiller estimated that the combustion of a ton of coal evolved nearly 701 b. of vitriol. Here, then, is the source of the sulphates found in the loosened crust of decayed stones. Fresh from the quarry the stones of Caen, Portland, and Bath contain scarcely a trace of sulphates, whereas they make the scrapings from the decayed portions of the new Palace at Westminster bitter to the taste. Among the places to which Mr. Spiller says the aqueous solution of superphosphate of lime has been success fully applied are St. John's Church, Woolwich ; the almshouses at Northfleet College ; the facade of the Grand Hotel, Brighton ; and the Army Cloth ing Establishment, Woolwich. Professor Ansted is of opinion that appliances to save buildings from decay should be made while the stone is in the quarry. Dr. RICHARDSON read a paper on " Methyl Com pounds." He stated, as the result of experiments, that chloroform caused death by arresting nervous action, and not by a muscular action of the heart. He said that the danger of using it as an anaesthetic arose from the difficulty of eliminating it from the body. The titachloride of carbon he declared to be still more dangerous, and its uke was to be de nounced. He recommended nitrate of methyl, and still more bichloride of methylea. He showed by experiments that the latter was harmless and easily manageable. Mr. Nunnelly, of Leeds, praised these researches, and stated his belief that pure hydro-carbon would turn out to be the best anaesthetic. The question whether " Man was originally savage" was revived in the Ethnological Department by an elaborate paper read by Sir John Lubbock, who took the round that civilised races are descend ants of races that have arisen from barbarism, controverting the theory of the late Archbishop Whately that no community ever did or ever can emerge, unassisted, from a state of utter barbarism into anything that could be called civilization ; and answering the objection that the natives of Australia and New Zealand have shown no symptoms of advance to civilisation, and show ing that those races possess no cereals nor animals that can be domesticated with advantage, and were thus entirely ignorant of cattle rearing and cultivat ing the soil, which had been always the early basis of the civilising races. Neither were there any traces of the arts in their ruder forms, such as pottery found in the Australasian group ; whereas in Pales tine, Syria, and the East generally, the cradle of civilisation, marks of progress, though slow, have been discovered. Considerable discussion followed, the generality of the speakers supporting Sir John Lubbock's reasoning. In the Mathematical Section the theory of light .vas under discussion, and Mr. henry Schaffer read a paper contributed by Mr. John Smith, of Perth, following out the theory, which he first brought up at Aberdeen, that light is simple and homo geneous. Mr. Smith believes that the varieties of colour are entirely due to the alterations of light and shadow, and to the different character of vibrations caused by the introduction of the prism. lie attempts to confirm this theory by the fact that certain opaque bodies under pressure may be made to change colour. To this section Colonel Sykes, M.P., also contributed a paper on the subject of storm signals, and advocated their resumption. He spoke in terms of high admiration of Admiral Fitz roy's system of warnings, and asserted that they had been discontinued in obedience to the demands of the pedantic affectation of science. In his opinion the storm signals were of the utmost importance to the maritime communities. Mr. Sturrock, president of the Dundee Chamber of Commerce, agreed with the views broached by Colonel Sykes. Mr. Gassiot defended the course taken by the Itlyal Society, as also did Mr. Balfour Stewart. Mr. Milne Home, president of the Meteorological Society, moved a resolution calling upon the council to petition Go vernment to resume the storm signals. The Duke of Buccleuch, without entering into the scientific question, expressed his belief that the warn ings were useful, and seconded the motion, which was supported by Sir J. Ogilvy, M.P. Mr. Glaisher urged that the warnings, and not meteorological notices that might not be understood, should be at once resumed. Great interest was manifested in the question, the section being crowded. Even tually the motion was carried. The department of Geology was occupied in deal ing with a paper read by Sir William Thomson, written by Dr. Schwarez, on the internal heat of the earth. The writer denied that any perceptible effect could have been produced by internal heat on the surface of the earth within the last 50 million years, and called upon the British Association to inquire into the alleged increase of temperature in descend ing pits. Sir William Thomson believed that a committee would be appoiLted to consider the matter. Iu this section Mr. Peugelly read the report of the committee appointed to investigate the Kent's Cave at Brixham. He reported that they had found inammalia and traces of man. Among human relics they had found bone implements, a bone comb, highly finished, a highly finished pin, a grit spindle, a w h o l e and a portion of a nitched stool-looking measuring rod. The most interesting discovery this year was portions of a human skeleton, including vertebra, lower jaw, loose teeth, and part of skull. These remains rendered it impossible to doubt that man occupied Devonshire while it was the home of extinct lions, hyenas, mammoths, and their contem poraries. The most finished tools were at the lo west levels. There was a hope of finding human remains in red earth. The geological and archreolgical evidences were concurrent, and caused great interest. Sir Charles Lyell em phatically praised the manner of the explo rations. Mr. Wyatt had found the same type of implements in the low level gravels of Bedford, associated with the bones of the Elephus Antiguus. Other speakers concurred that the evidence was conclusive. Six papers were read in the Economic Section, by local members and associates, on the linen man ufactures, engineering trade, iron shipbuilding, whale fisheries, leather manufactures, and the con fectionery and marmalade trades of Dundee. A variety of interesting facts were brought out illus trative of the progress of trade in the district. It has been decided that Dr. hooker, the Curator of Kew Gardens, is to be the President of the Ass o ciation for the year 1868-9. THE LATE MR. WILLIAM WALKER.—We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. William Walker, the ancient historical engraver, who expired at his residence in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, on Saturday night. Among the numerous works of excellence executed by the deceased artist the most generally known aro the en gravings of the " Passing of the Rgorm Bill," the "Aber deen Cabinet," and the "Literary Party at Sir Joshua Reynolds." The last-mentioned work must Lave pos sessed peculiar interest by Mr. Walker, who had married the daughter of S. W. Reynolds, the engraver of all Sir Joshua's pictures. One of his latest productions, " The Distinguished Mon of Science," the engraving of which occupied him during six years, and cost him nearly £5,000 before bringing any return, is one that must be familiar to our readers as a remarkable specimen of that branch of art. THE DRAINAGE OF PARIS.—In the west of Paris a large tunnel is at this moment being constructed at a depth of GO or 80 feet below the surface of the ground. It starts from the Place de l'Alma, and goes to the lower end of the island of the Grande Jatte, at Neuilly, passing under the Avenue Josephine, the Arc de Triomphe, the Tunes, the Place Pereire, the Auteiiil Railway, the fortifications, and the villages of Courcelles and Lovallois. This for midable undertaking, which requires shafts to be sunk every 50 yards, is now approaching its completion, and will form a second grand connecting sower to discharge is waters into the Seine below the Ile do Neuilly. # .l `" ffin e t Oren HIM MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Sept. 8. The Queen, with Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, continue at Balmoral in the enjoyment of excellent health. It is not yet decided when her Majesty and the members of the royal family return to the south, though it is generally expected that it will be about the 19th inst. Her Imperial Highness the Princess of Olden bourg, the Princess Therese, the Princess .George and Constantine of Oldenbourg, and Count Serge Cheremetioff, attended by Dr. Steidel and a numerous suite, have loft Clatidge's Hotel for Paris. The Duke of Leinster left town yesterday for Carton House, near Maynooth. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bristol are stay ing at the noble marquis's shooting quarters, near Ding wall, Ross-shire. The Earl of Cloninel has left town for Don caster. LITERATURE. The Fortnightly Review. Nos. VII. and VIII. The usual ability which characterises this serial is fully displayed in the two parts before us. The social and political questions of the day are allowed a fair hearing, while essays and criticisms abound in its pages. Whether the reader, therefore, is in clined for solid reading or only wishes for pleasant intellectual entertainment, he can find his choice. Trade Unions find an able advocate in Professor Beesly, but, like many other advocates of the system, he takes it as masters versus men, instead of men against each other. It is the workmen themselves who suffer most severely from the grind ing tyranny of the unions, as they are beginning to find out. Emigration from Ireland is an interest ing subject, well discussed. "The Reign of Law," by G. 11. Lewes, is an examination into the theories promulgated by the Duke of Argyll in his recant work of that name. " Legal Etiquette" is a suggestive article, and might be read with profit by the members of other professions burdened with needless and profitless social regulations. " Sir Cecil Beadon's Defence" goes over a sad subject, on which it is well to hear the case stated from all points of view. An analysis of the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, if not new, is discrimi na ti ng an d well written. Theodore Parker's Life and Works are the subject of a memoir, which does his memory full honour. Mr. Whyte Melville's romance el " The White Rose" is brought to a melancholy and unsatisfactory conclusion. Other papers of merit are to be found in both numbers. Boys of England Journal. Conducted by E. J• Brett. Part IX. The ninth monthly part of this excellent journal still keeps up its well-known prestige, the "Captain of the School" and "Strongbow," two excellent tales, are continued with unabated interest, and a new one, " Wait till I am a Man," bids fair to become a great favourite. The British Boys' Progress, and the page of sports, lion, rhinoceros, and alligator hunting are full of the most absorbing interest. A- 11 these, combined with excellent illustrations, render it one of the most amusing, at the same time moral works that can be placed in the bands of youth an d on the family library table. 7IIE FAI AL COLLISION ON THE MVO' Sergeant Parry, of the K division of police, Iv° was a passenger on board the Metis when that vessel came into collision with the Wentworth on Friday evening, has since died. He and his wife and child—an infant nine months old—were in the cabin, and the child was drowned, while he and his Wif e were rescued after being in the water several minutes. His condition was such that he was taken to th e quarters of the Coastguard, and there lodged for th e night. Next morning he was so far recovered as to enable him to proceed home to Cubitt-town. B ut recovery would appear to have been only apparel: for yesterday n ews reac h e d th e po li ce stat ion au Woolwich, and also the secretary of the water. men's Company, that he had succumbed to the sbc' elc which his system sustained. About two o'clock yesterday a number of We rk. men were sent down to the spot where the collision occurred with apparatus necessary to raise the after part of the Metis, and to bring it to Woolwich, where the vessel now lies high and dry on the beaet h So far as could be learned yesterday evening no other bodies had been recovered, and hopes ar e therefore entertained that the extent of the disast er is known. It has been stated that the Metis was crossing il l° bows of the Wentworth. This the secretary of the Woolwich Ad Watermen's Company d en ies' can According to the best inf orma ti on we gathe r, the Metis was proceeding cl ose i n shore, and he c on ' tends that the Went wor th was wr ong in porti n g her helm. Had she kept her course mid-cha nnel , the disaster would not have happened ; but, instead of that, she changed her course, with the result as shown. Spenceley, the captain of the Metis, whose arm was broken in two or three places, is still in a pre carious state. INQUEST TIIIS DAY. This afternoon Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coroner for West Kent, opened the inquiry at the . Lord Derby publichouse, Plumstead, upon the bodies of Richard Barry, aged nine months, and Alice Brig den, aged six years, who, it will be remembered , lost their lives by the collision which took place on Friday evening last between the Metis steamer, be longing to the Woolwich Steampacket Company' and the Wentworth screw steamer, at present on her way to the north in ballast. There are t svo other persons (adults) who are dead—Cheesemant the steersman of the Metis, whose body has not yet been found, and Sergeant Richard Barry, upon whom the inquest will be held to-morrow. The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies at the dead-house at Plumstead old Church, and the Coroner said that he should merely open the inquest pro forma. Evidence of the identity of the two children Was about to be taken when our parcel left, it being understood the inquiry would be adjourned for a fortnight or three weeks. MR.

ACCIDENT TO A SALOON STEAMER.—The with Victor, saloon steamer, from London and Ramsgate, excursionists, in attempting to run into Boulogne harbour at low water on Saturday night drove athwart ono of the piers of the jetty. She then reversed her engines, backed off, and steamed away to the westward, whore she brought, up for the night and landed her passengers at four o'lck on Sunday morning. COLLISION OFF NORTIIFLEET.—The steamer Albert Ajax, for Cardiff, was in contact on Sunday with the Pride of the Dart, in the Thames, off Northfloet Povitt the latter sustaining so much injury that she immediately filled and sunk. The crew were saved and landed e.t, Gravesend. The Ajax sustained no injury and pro ceeded to sea. The Thames Conservancy Lave taken the usual. precautions over the sunken wreck for the protection et the navigation. THAMES ANGLING.—As a proof of the inereaseLl sport the anglers are getting this year in the tidal waterS about Richmond, Twickenham, and Teddington , ono Pilot on Friday last took nearly '2O dozen of fine dace, and s• d 3 Y ich or two previously another punt took 13 dozen at B; mond.
