[RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. SOUTH-EASTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge House Hotel, London bridge, to consider, and, if approved, to authorise the seal of the company being affixed to a proposed agreement between this company and the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company ; Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., the chairman, presided. Mr. T. A. Chubb, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said a copy of the proposed agreement had been sent to every shareholder in the company, both preference and ordinary. lie had received several letters approving the measure, and a large number of proxies in favour of the agreement. One of their fellow shareholders had sent him a scheme for the general improvement of railway property, in which he proposed that amal gamations and traffic arrangements should be made between railway companies where practicable, that they should raise the fares and rates for passengers and goods traffic to the amount authorised by Par liament, and reduce the working expenses to 40 per cent. of the receipts. (Hear, hear.) The agree ment he had to submit for their approval did not in any way interfere with the capital accounts of either company, which accounts were to be kept separate and distinct. The agreement was for a fusion of the net revenue under a working arrange- went on the principle adopted by the North-Eastern Railway Company in 1853. The three companies which constituted the amalgamation in respect to a fusion of their net receipts were the Newcastle and Berwick, the York and North Midland, and the Leeds Northern Railway Companies ; and to show the value of that arrangement under the joint work ing of the traffic of those three companies he stated that in 1853 the net receipts of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company amounted to £439,477, and in 1866 to £854,182 ; in 1853 the net receipts of the York and North Midland amounted to £250,483 and in 1866 to £492,171 ; and in 1853 the net receipts on the Leeds Northern amounted to £48,199 for nine months, and in 1866 to £149,530. The dividend on the ordinary stock of the New castle and Berwick in 1853 was 31 per cent., and in 1866 51 ; the ordinary dividend of the York and North Midland in 1853 was 21 per cent., and in 1866 5 per cent. ; and the ordinary dividend of the Leeds Northern in 1853 was nil, and in 1866 3i per cent. The price of the Newcastle and Berwick stock in 1853 was 60, and in 1866 97 ; the price of the York and North Midland stock in 1853 was 69, and in 1866 104 ; and the price of the Leeds Northern stock in 1853 was 31, and in 1866 63. They were also enabled to show that this very important result had been obtained with great advantage to the pub lic. The fusion of net profits was no new scheme, for they had, in Nov., 1865, entered into negotia tions with Mr. Schuster, the then chairman of the Brighton Company, with a view to put a stop to in vasions, to agree to an amalgamation of the net re ceipts of the three southern companies to be worked under a joint management. A similar proposal was drawn up by Mr. Scott, general manager of the London and South-Western Company. The result was a truce for 1867 in respect of Parliamentary proceedings for competing lines. He then gave a history of the various attempts made by the South- Eastern Company to come to amicable terms with the Brighton Comp&ny, but those attempts had been frustrated. At the very time in 1864 when the South-Eastern Company believed they had secured peace under an agreement with the Brighton Com pany there were intrigues going on to promote the Surrey and Sussex scheme. The repeated acts of bad faith were well known, and had resulted in great cost to both companies. He told them last August that the South-Eastern property was in a safer, sounder position than the Brighton, notwithstanding its great reputation for good management, and that view had since been verified. The Brighton had loans from bankers of £600,000, while the South-Eastern had a balance at their bankers. The Brighton had capital liabilities of £1,500,000, for which they would have to raise money on preference shares, while the South Eastern had only liabilities to the a:nount of £Bl,OOO to finish lines, and for which they had the money in hand. He believel that every 999 share holders in the South Eastern out of 1,000 had con fidence in their directors, and were ready to act with the board. Several months ago, when the share holders at a distance saw that they had not an united Board they took steps aud, without causing a revolution iu the company, put in some good busi ness men, and it was now a strong and united board. After he had had interviews with Mr. C. E. Stewart and Colonel Barttelcrt on the part of the Brighton board, neither of those gentlemen having had any thing to do with former wrong doings, they sat down together, went to work on the agreement, between the two companies, and after some considerable labour brought the matter to a focus, and the result was that the proprietors bad a copy of the agreement placed in their hands. He believed it was the right time to enter into and complete that agreement, and thus to secure a perpetual peace between the two companies, by working amicably in future for the benefit of the shareholders of both companies, and for the accommodation of the public. In doing this work they had to convert and convince 21 directors, they had to conciliate two sets of lawyers, engineers, and Parliamentary agents, who expected to be de spoiled by the establishment of peace between the two companies. They had also to disappoint some Lon don directors in buying estates with their own money and in having power to make railways over them at the expense of other people. They had also to con sider whether this arrangement would be beneficial to the public. There were every year about 26,000,000 passengers in and outof their London sta tions ; about one half the number arrived at Canncn street and Charing-cross stations. When Brighton passengers could go to and from those stations it would be an enormous boon to the public at a compa ratively small additional cost to the latter. When stations and lines were properly utilised it would save the outlay of millions of capital. The money spent on branch lines that did not pay working ex penses was as much a loss to the nation as if they burnt down so much property. The Cannon-street station would be of great value to Brighton and other south coast passengers. The greater the facili ties afforded for travelling the larger would be the traffic. He then pointed out what would be saved by not running duplicate trains. lie said that Mr. Eborall, the general manager, after a most careful consideration, had estimated that the saving that could be effected on the two lines by not running duplicate trains would amount to £lOO,OOO a year, which alone was equal to one per cent. of ordinary share capital. (Hear, hear.) Certain figures in the agreement were subject to verification. All the calculations bad been carefully gone into ; lie trusted and believed that every contingency had been con sidered and provided for. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Swarbrick were to settle any questions in dispute. ute The margin of difference o n certain points was not to exceed £lO,OOO. Ile believed that the difference between the state of their permanent way and that of the Brighton would be fully dnd fairly compensated by setting aside for the latter £9,000 a year fur re newals. The value of or income from the surplus property of each company was brought into account. The net traffic on the old lines was ascertained and divided into certain proportions, 55 per cent. for the South-Eastern, and 45 per cent, for the Brighton ; but the actual traffic of the new lines would be set down and the expenses of workino , them, the net amount being added to the net re ceipts of the companies owing them. Those receipts would be carefully taken, and at the end of five years after the opening of the new extensions and branch lines a revision and adjustment of the net receipts would take place. Ile believed it was a fair and honest agreement. When the Chatham and Dover line was opened it took £BO,OOO a year traffic from the South-Eastern at certain places, which had now increased to £120,000 a year ; but that was owing to their shorter lines to those places, but when the new direct line of the South-Eastern to Tunbridge -wells was ope ned they would get back a deal of the traffic which the Chatham and Dover Company had abstracted from them, because the length of the line would practically bethe same. There would b e a j o i nt committee of six good men to manage and work both lines. Looking at the immense extent of London and its suburbs, their line being the best to the Continent, and the Brighton the best for the districts and towns served by it, he thought there was a great future for both companies. He wanted to put an end to further capital expenditure, and to close their capital ac counts as soon as possible. If they approved the agreement, the solicitor would carefully embody it in a bill, and when it came before them at the Wharnclife meeting, they would have every oppor tunity afforded them to reconsider the whole matter. He would propose that the joint committee should pay cash for all the materials they required, that week by week sums to cover the interest on deben tures should be placed in the bank, and also to cover dividends for preference shareholders, placing the balance to the credit of the ordinary shareholders. (Ilear.) In conclusion, he stated that they ought all to feel grateful to Parliament for putting a stop to the creation of pre-preference shares, recently at tempted by the London, Chatham, and Dover, and the Great Eastern Company. He hoped there would be no more tampering with pre-preferences. lie had advised the Chatham Company to sell their plant and rolling stock, pay their debts out of the pro ceeds, and make an arrangement with them for working the traffic. The Chatham and Dover Com pany were now taking £300,000 a year out of the traffic of the South-Eastern district. They would get some of that back. During seven years they had borne the loss of £300,000 a year, yet the elas ticity and vitality of their traffic had been so great that their traffic receipts had shown an increase every year. When they could all work in peace he believed they would get better dividends. (Hear, hear.) lle then moved a formal resolution approv ing the agreement with the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company, authorising the directors to affix the company's seal thereto.' Mr. BF.ArriE, a director, seconded the motion. A discussion ensued, in which Messrs. G. Smith, Wright, Puncher, Teulon, and Adams took part, the general opinion being in favour of the agree ment. The motion approving the agreement was carried almost unanimously, there being only two dissentients, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. Mr. S. Laing, M.P., has issued a circular to the shareholders of this company, in which ho states that, having consented to become chairman of the Brighton Company in the hope of saving it from its present embarrassments, he is satisfied that an amalgamation with the South Eastern Company is the first step to place both properties on a sound footing. He is further satisfied that the agreement is perfectly fair on both sides and mutually advan tageous; and, as it is of great importance with re ference to the application to Parliament that it should be adopted by large majorities of the share holders, he earnestly requests them to attend the meeting to be held on Friday, the 12th inst., at the Bridge-house Hotel, and, if they are unable to attend, to send their proxies in favour of himself or Sir C. Jackson. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending June 15 amounted for passengers to £8,103, for emigrants to £1,897, for mails, &c., to £986, and for freight and live stock to £12,666 — total £23,652, and for the corresponding week last year to £25,293, showing a decrease of £1,611. FESTIVITIES AT SYON HOUSE. Yesterday the Middlesex and Westminster ten antry of the Duke of Northumberland, to the num ber of 100, assembled at Syon-house, Isleworth, for the purpose of presenting a congratulatory address to Lord Warkworth on his coming of age, and of sharing the festivities by which that event has been marked. Lord Warkworth is the eldest son of Earl Percy, who sat in the last Parliament as Lord Lo vaine, before the dukedom of Northumberland de scended to his father, then Earl of Beverley. The late Duke dying without issue, a long interval has necessarily elapsed since the coming of age of a direct heir to the Northumberland property, and hence more than ordinary importance attaches to the majority of the present Duke's grandson. This event occurred on the 29th of May last, since which date family visits have been paid and rejoicings held successively at Alnwick Castle, in Northumberland ; at Albury, near Guildford, where the Percy estates are situate ; and now at Syon-house, within easy range of their property in the metropolis. At half-past 2 o'clock the members of the party, having previously visited the pleasure grounds and conservatories of Syon-house, assembled in the li brary, a gallery extending along the whole of the eastern or colonnade front of the building. The ceremony of presenting the address to Lord Wark worth, surrounded by the members of his family, was here gone through. In few but hearty phrases it gave expression to the sentiment animating the tenantry and dictating their visit; and Lord Wark worth's brief and appropriate reply produced a very favourable impression. In the interval elapsing be fore the dinner hour the visitors found time to admire the state apartments and their contents. The library is remarkable chiefly for a series of medallion por traits of the Percy family and their connections, from the Emperor Charlemagne, A.D. 800, to the late D uke, then Baron Prudhoe, represented in a midshipman's dress. The more striking features in the other rooms are the colossal bronzes and columr,s of verd antique in the vestibule, the mosaic tables and marble sta tues in the dining-room, and in the richly decorated drawing-room the walls draped with satin, and the coved ceiling, embellished with medallion copies of paintings found in Herculaneum. The real attrac tions of Syon-house, however, consist in its associa tions—first, with conventual life, under the change ful sway in such matters of successive Tudor Kings and Queens, and next with the vicissitudes of Royalty itself, the imprisoned monarch at Hampton Court having been permitted to exchange visits with his children here. IVhat now form the suite of private apartments at Syon-house are the rooms used by Charles I. on the occasion of these visits. The entrance-hall was yesterday laid out as a banquet-chamber, where, when all had taken their seats, Lord Percy presided, with his sons, Lord Warkworth and the Hon. Algernon Percy, on either hand. The general company, which was confined to those territorially connected with the property, included the Vicars of Isleworth and of St. James, Mr. Williams, who has held his appointment of steward under three dukes successively, Mr. Curtis, &c. Immediately before the giving of the usual loyal toasts the Countess Percy, accompanied by Lady Louisa Percy, Lady Chas. Percy, Miss Percy, Mrs. Richards, and Mrs. and Miss Day, entered the hall and took her place upon a dais at the upper end. In returning thanks for " the health of the Duke of Northumberland," which Mr. S. Steward had pro posed, and accompanied with some appropriate allu sions to the event of the day, Lord PERCY thanked his visitors for the kindness they had shown towards his son, which was the more spontaneous and gratifying that they were not, as in the north, the representatives of an hereditary claim to share is th e _ famil y •0--, on account of the part borne by their ancestors in battles long passed by, the memories of which were almost forgotten. The VICAR of ST. MARTIN'S acknowledged the compliment paid to the Duchess of Northumberland in drinking her health, and made reference to the increasing importance in the present day, when grave political and social changes are at hand, of a good example being set by these younger members of the nobility who gave so much character and colour to the rising generation. Mr. 11. G. BOLIN proposed " The Health of the Earl of Percy." The very name, lie said, was sug gestive of the battles of Cressy and Chevy Chase, of Magna Charta, and a host of other events in the national history, in all of which for centuries that house had been on the side of the people and against foreign or arbitrary power. In these festivities he saw a revival of the best features of the feudal spirit and of the old English gatherings. Lord PERCY, adverting to the feudal times, said that though much abused, they were days when men depended on one another for life and limb. The lord depended on his retainers for success in battle and for the maintenance of his power; the retainer depended on his lord for security and for everything which made life valuable. The only siirit, however, animating the Duke, his father, in the present instance was the desire that all his frionds should share the joy he felt at his grandson ati aining his majority, and that his grandson should ke acciaintance for himself with those of whom Borne, at least, might hereafter be greatly depen dent upon him. " The Health of the Countess Percy" was re ceived with every manifestation of respect and esteem. Lady Percy bowed her acknowledgments. Mr. ALFRED BELL, in introducing the toast of the day, observed that the fact of a Percy having gained the' 'Victoria Cross" in the Crimea showed that the ancient valorous qualities of the family had not diminished, and], in the course of Borne reminiscences relating to the late Duke of Northumberland, men tioned that he could never be induced to receive his pay as Admiral, which therefore went on accu mulating till his death. It then amounted to nearly £B,OOO, to which the present Duke becom ing entitled declined to take it, but divided it between three naval charities, believing that by so doing he was best fulfilling the wishes of his kinsman. Mr. Bell augured brightly as to the future of Lord Warkworth, from the disposi tion he had already shown. If this promise were fulfilled, the honour to himself would be greater than that conferred by the 900 emblazonments in the ancient shield of Percy, or by all the Royal and noble blood flowing in his veins. Lord Warkworth's spirited reply was heartily cheered. Lord Percy then, in the name of his house, drank to the good health of all present, and the com pany separated. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1867, SPEECH-DAY AT HARROW. Yesterday Harrow was thronged with fashionable visitors, the occasion being one which usually attracts the highest in rank, politics, and art—the` anni versary known as " Speech-day." Among the earliest arrivals were the Bishop of London, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., and Mrs. Gladstone, and Mr. Robert Browning ; and among the general company which assembled in the old foundation of John Lyon, the yeoman of the hamlet of Preston, near Harrow, w ere Lord Verularn, Vis countlßoyston and Lady Roy ston, Earl and Countess of Stradbroke, General Sir William Codrington, G.C.B. ; Admiral Sir 11. Codrington, K.C.B. ; Sir R. Anstruther, M.P. ; Lady Catherine Allen, Sir Charles and Lady Trevelyan, Sir John and Lady Neeld, Sir T. Grant, P.R.S. ; Mr. Grant Duff, M.P.; Mr. G. 0. Trevelyan, M.P. ; Colonel Penton, Professor Huxley, Dr. Jelf, and Dr. Haigh Brow ne. The programme gone through in the school was a very lo ng one of plays and recitations, given in Latin, Greek, French, and English. Messrs. Mahon, Heberden, Davidson, and Abbot were remarkably good even where all were excellent ; for one of the teachings of this foundation is that all should speak in a loud, clear, and distinct voice. Mr. Henry Napiar Abbot took the first prize for Latin elegiacs, the subject being " Huldbrand and Undine," and the prize for an English essay, as well as many other prizes. Mr. William Alfred Meek won the Beresford Hope prize for Greek prose by a transla tion of Addison's " Vision of Mirza." Mr. Thomas George Stacpoole Mahon took the prize for French, and also for Latin prose. Lord Arthur Butler was awarded the Ebrington prize for German. Mr. Charles Buller Heberden, who was awarded the prize for " general proficiency," took, in addition, tl►e Peel prize for a Latin essay, the prize for Greek iambic verse, and the first Beaumont prize for knowledge of the Scriptures. Mr. Davidson took the prize for English poetry with au excellent poem on Sir Walter Scott. After the speeches in the schoolhouse the company separated, and the " boys," as usual, assembled round the school doors to cheer the best known, and this they did as only boys can. According to long-established custom no cheers were given for the masters. The visitors had an opportunity of visiting for a short time the New Library, the old church, and the well-known churchyard. Afterwards the company reassembled in the house of the Head Master, Dr. Butler, to luncheon, where the Bishop of London, Mr. Glad stone, Lord Verulam, and nearly all the distin guished couipany who arc named above as present in the school, honoured the head Master with their presence. After the usual loyal toasts, which were proposed in felicitous terms, Dr. BUTLER reminded the company that the im - portant body sitting at Westminster, sever al of whose members were present, was like Time, as it waited for no man, and it was therefore incumbent upon him to take the earliest possible opportunity of thanking them for their presence. Among the guests of that day was one who had not visited liar row for a very long time—Mr. Gladstone. (Cheers.) There was one fact in connection with Mr. Glad stone's career of which they were all probably aware —that he had not the honour of being a Harrow man —(a laugh)—but the Ilarrovians would have been very glad if he lic.3 been. Apart from political feel ing, all admired genius and eloquence, and they admired still more a life of labour devoted to the interest and wellbeing of the country. (Loud cheers.) In Mr. Gladstone's life, to take an illus tration from the motto of one who was himself of Harrow—Sir Robert Peel—(cheers)—was to be re cognised all that was conveyed in that illustrious man's motto of " Industria." The Head Master con cluded by calling upon the company to drink Mr. Gladstone's health. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was warmly cheered, in responding, said it was quite true that he had not had the pleasure of being present lately on the Har row " Speech Day," but on one occasion when he was there he saw Dr. Butler, then a " Harrow boy,' , in the character of a monopolist, for to him was awarded on that day nearly all the prizes given in the whole school, and the position now held by Dr. Butler proved that he had fulfilled the bright hopes which all who witnessed that one day in his career entertained of his future. (Cheers.) It was to be hoped that Harrow would long have the honour of being presided over by one who was so bright an example of her teachings. (Cheers.) his own attachment was elsewhere, and he bad deep attach ments, as every Englishman had—attachments which could neither be described nor fathomed—for the place of his education and early training. (Cheers.) There was a noble sisterhood of institu tions in this country, and whenever he heard men speak of these institutions he would always have it remembered that among them public schools had their own distinctive place, associated as they were in the great work of aiding and stimulating each other to the fulfilment of their vocation. He trusted that it would not be improper to say that what was being done in that " body at Westminster," alluded to by the head Master, greatly enhanced the im portance of the work of these public schools. The popular basis on which the institutions of this coun try must for the future be founded would put all classes of British subjects on their mettle. On their mettle they most undoubtedly would be put, and sue., institutions as these must not put too great trust in their wealth--a mistake, by the way, not likely to be made at Ilarrow—(a laugh)_ nor in their vast social influence, for these. things would fail. If they looked within they would flourish from generation to generation, and century after century, with increasing vigour. (Cheers.) Lord VERULAM responded to the toast of "The Governors," and said the governors had too much good sense to interfere in the management of the school while it was carried on as Dr. Butler carried it on. (Cheers.) In conclusion he proposed the " Health of the Head Master." Dr. BuTt.r.a responded in a short address, and in a grtteeful speech proposed " The Bishop of London." His LORDSHIP, in rerly, said that he had lately attended the Speech Days of Rugby and Eton, and be was a governor of the Charterhouse, and judging between those institutions and Harrow be could say that Harrow had nothing to fear in the com parison. There were in these days special inquiries into many things, and the public schools among them. From what he had soon of the Harrow School that day he- could say that without waiting for a Public Schools Bill to be passed, all the ira- provements bad been adopted which such a measure would have proposed. (Cheers.) General Sir W. CODRINGTON also was toasted, and the company then separated. The following honours have been gained at the Universities by Harrovians At Oxford.—First Class in Classics, G.

VIENNA, JULY 1. Subjoined are all the details collected from a variety of sources at present known as to the fate of the Emperor Maximilian : " The official Vienna Gazette of the Ist inst. says : —' Faithful to our promise that the Imperial Go vernment would immediately publish every item of intelligence respecting the fate of the Emperor of Mexico, immediately after its reception, it is our mournful duty to reproduce a series of deeply affecting announcements just received. The first is a telegram from Mr. C. F. Loosey, Austrian Consul-General in New York : America to Vienna. Given in June 30 (? 29), 2 14 a.m. I have received the following despatch : News has reached me via New Orleans, the 29th, from the Austrian Charge d'Affaires at Mexico that the Emperor Maximilian has been condemned, and was shot at 9 am. upon the 19th. The President refuses to deliver up the body. The Elizabeth is intended for the transport of the Austrians from Vera Cruz. " GROLLEII, Captain in the Navy.' " LOOSEY.' " The second is a telegram from Baron von Wydenbruck, Austrian Ambassador to the United States. It says,— "America to Vienna. Given in June 29, 445 a.m. SATURDAY. " I report with horror that I have just received the following telegram fron► New Orleans A telegram from Vera Cruz notifies the sen tence and death of the Emperor Maximilian. Juarez is in possession of the body. The despatch is signed by Naval Captain Grolier, and the news not yet known at the Foreign-office. 1 learn, further, that the execution took place by shooting at 7 a.m. on the 19th.' WYDENBRUCK." "As, however, the fact was not placed by these messages beyond all hope, though ever so small, of error, the Austrian Government immediately tele graphed to Baron von Wydenbrick, the Ambassador in Washington, desiring him to make the most exact inquiries both as to the news itself and all the details, and to report without delay. The an swer has not yet arrived ; nor has any intelligence been received from Paris, whether the Imperial Go vernment also add resse d i tself in a sim i lar sense. The announcement of the Emperor's deplorable fate created here tho more profound and painful an impression as the official news last received held out the prospect of the matter taking a favourable turn." " The Vienna papers contain the following com munication understood to be from an official source : It may be of interest to learn the steps already taken months ago by the Austrian Government to avert this terrible catastrophe. Upon the with drawal of the French troops, the Emperor of Austria, starting from the idea that the Emperor Maximilian would leave Mexico nt th , .l same time a 3 Marshal Baz.tine, thought it advisable to take the question into consideration whether the Emperor Maximilian's return should not be facilitated by restoring to him all his rights as next Agnate, which he bad renounced before leaving for Mexico. The reason for no further action being then taken in the matter—independently of the fact that other le gitimately;acquired rights demanding close examina tion were at stake—was that the Emperor Maxi milian remained in Mexico and continued the con test with the native forces at his disposal. " When the news of his capture arriv ed here everything was done to bring about a diplomatic intervention of collective Europe in his favour. The Austrian Ambassador in Washington had been previously empowered to apply to the Government of the North American Republic requesting its active diplomatic intervention in case of any danger threatening the Emperor. It is known that Mr. Seward complied with this request, and that the American Government, even at that time, made a bona fide application to Juarez in this sense. When the capitulation of the Emperor Maximilian became known, France, England, Russia, and Prussia were asked to instruct their Ambassadors in Washington to unite their efforts with those of the Austrian Ambassador in saving the Emperor Maximilian. All the Powers took steps in consequence of this desire, Queen Victoria adding 'that it was a ques tion of saving the life of a near and dear relation.' " One hope still remained when we learnt here the grounds upon which Romero, the Ambassador of Juarez at Washington, sought to justify severity against the Emperor. These were mainly based upon the assumptions that the Emperor Maximilian would always remain a claimant, constantly prove a rallying -point for all the unquiet spirits in Mexico, and thus keep the country in continual excitement. It was, therefore, at once resolved, at a Council of the Imperial family, to restore the Emperor Maxi milian to all his rights as next Agnate, to obtain from him the fullest renunciation of his claims as Emperor of Mexico, and to afford the necessary guarantees for this renunciation being carried out. A telegram to this effect was sent to the Austrian Ambassador in Washington. Seward again showed himself inclined to active support, but, according to the latest intelligenc.., it seems unhappily to have proved ineffectual. The question of ransom was never raised. The Austrian Court was perfectly willing to have paid ransom. But the utmost in o ro rter ed n in ot ga to o r f ai t s h e e th c e o i u d r e t a . ofinte caution was accessary,rferencewit the p withh martial, and thus perhaps disadvantageously . influence the f a te o the Emperor Maximi lian. This last consideration, also, operated when the question arose whether a confidential agent should be sent to Juarez. The idea was abandoned, because, apart from th e b ad effect that might thus have been exerted up on the fate of the Emperor, Juarez would also have been compromised in case of discovery.' " The majority of the Vienna papers also devote special articles to the memory of the late Emperor. The Neuc Frenulenblatt remarks that the bold ex ploit of an intell ec t ua l prince has turned into a grander tragedy than ever entered a poet's imagina tion.'l:he Morgenpost says— , lie was one of the best of men. Ile Possmed a noble mind and a spirit eager for action. He felt in his breast that impulse which is the origin of everything great, that uneasi ness without which no one ventures to change or to improve those things that surround him. lie pos sessed that breadth and magnanimity of intention which gave him confidence in himself ; a certain boldness that lent him the determination either to conquer his place in 1 14tory or to die. He has now done both.' The NeuePreie Presse styles the unfor tunate Emperor a prine endowed with the noblest acquirements. The tragic occurrence will make an overwhelming impression not only in Austria, where he was born, but will treate a sensation in all parts of Europe, and even far beyond the limits of the Old World.' Ihe Presse writes—' The sad news will be felt all the more deeply, as the popularity of the prince, in consequence of his self-sacrificing devo tion to the idea that led him to Mexico, had increased daily. The e xecu ti on of the Emperor will be an everlasting disgra ce t ) the BIQA icau Republicans. A noble enemy taken prisoner, a man anxious for the welfare of the country, did not merit this treatment. The disorganised republican institutions of Mexico, against which Maximilian strove, can certainly make no pretentious claims to legitimacy. The murder of the Emperor, who would unquestionably have offered all possible guarantees for the aban donment of all his claims, is nothing but a low and mean act of revenge on the part of the abject Mexican half-bloods.' The Dcbatte declares that Maximilian has fought, suffered, and fallen like a hero. " The official Vienna Gazette further publishes lengthy extracts from the latest official despatches re ceived from Baron Lago, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires in the city of Mexico. The subjoined pas sages are given as showing the sanguine belief uni versally entertained, even so near the scene of action that all chance of any catastrophe had altogether disappeared. The despatch is dated May 25. 46 4 • . For several days a report has been current here (in Mexico city) that the Emperor was tried by court-martial immediately after his capture, sentenced to death, and shot, with all his Generals and officers above the rank of captain. This intel ligence was afterwards admitted to be incorrect, even by the Liberals. . . . All the most prominent members of the Liberal party in this capital whose opinion I have taken agree that now his Majesty has escaped the immediate danger, no sort of apprehen sion for his life need be entertained. The Liberals maintain that the Emperor will be tried by the Con gress, constituted chief tribunal for the purpose, and that one of the principal charges against him will be the decree signed October 3, 1865, declaring all Mexicans continuing to fight against the Empire all but outlaws. . . . As a matter of course the diplomatic body, and, above all, the Austrian Em bassy, will consider it its first duty to obtain his Majesty's release upon the most honourable terms at the earliest possible date. I may take this oppor tunity of stating that the, as it appears, fully secured salvation of his Majesty's life is to be ascribed ex clusively to the magnanimous act of his Imperial brother, our most gracious Lord, and to the friendly intervention of the President of the United States brought abaut by our Emperor. Although the steps of the Washington Government have been some what severely criticised in the United States, Juarez and his advisers are yet thoroughly aware that dis regard of the wish officially expressed by the chief of the great neighbouring Republic would most deeply offend the self-esteem of the Americans, and produce an instantaneous reaction among the people in favour of the measures taken by the President and against the Republican Mexican Go vernment. Juarez must, therefore, and probably will, prefer to show his gratitude for the services rendered to him and his cause by the Americans by an act of justice and humanity reflecting honour himself."' FASHIONS FDR JULY. (From Le Follet.) As a very favourite costume of the present sea son, we must mention the thin white dresses worn over skirts of coloured silk. Nothing can be more elegant, as the coloured lining breaks the monotony of the white without detracting from its charm. For very young ladies, the under-skirt is made generally of batiste, in which case tho skirt should be lightly trimmed—an insertion of black or white lace is quite sufficient ; the same trimming is placed on the high body, in such a manner as to resemble a low square body with a high guimpe. This toilette a l'ltalienne is very pretty, and need not be at all expensive. A very - elegant costume was made with two skirts of embroidered muslin over a skirt of maize silk, the upper skirt raised by a scarf of maize silk. A small jacket of muslin with manches religious°, the whole trimmed with a rich guipure. Another iu the same style, worn for slight mourning, was of white muslin over black silk, the front trimmed with three rows of papillon bows of black ribbon, surrounded with rosettes of guipure, forming the tablier. Also, for half mourning, a peplum of white mus lin over a skirt of black silk, trimmed all round the bottom with rosettes of white guipure and centres of black silk. The sash, of white muslin over black, was edged with guipure. The skirts are also trimmed with bouillonnes from the waist the whole length of the skirt; these arc placed sometimes simply up each breadth, with a narrow lace each side, or the same trimming may be so placed as to form a train ; in each case, however, the bouilonne should be lined with a ribbon the same colour as the under skirt. For more useful dresses batiste is much used, trimmed either w ith b roiderie russe or briaht coloured braid. Th e small jackets are made to match. A very elegant dress of silver-grey silk was raised at each side under an olive-leaf made of bronzed silver. Under-skirt of the same, simply trimmed round the edge with a bouillon of the same coloured satin. Half high body, with plain long sleeves. This charming toilette was completed by a mantelet " Marie Antoinette," forming a small pointed fichu at the back, crossing in front with ends falling over the skirt ; this mantelet was trimmed all round with a bouillon of the same coloured satin. The bonnet was of fancy straw trimmed with olive-leaves to match those on the dress, and a scarf of grey tulle tied at the back. A very pretty dress was made of white chaly over a blue silk skirt, raised at each side by a blue silk scarf drawing all the plaits quite to the back. Straight jacket of chaly, w i t h out sleeves, completed by a high body of blue silk, with plain sleeves. Tunic of Chambery gauze with wide stripes, mauve and white, trimmed with a flounce of rich lace. Under-skirt of mauve poult de soie, trimmed at the bottom with a plaited flounce of Chambery gauze edged with lace. Paletot to m a t c h , with Giecque sleeves, and long tight sleeves o f mauve silk. Fancy straw bonnet, trimmed with a bouillonne of mauve tulle, with daisies set in so as not to touch each other. Short dress of poil de chevre, white ground, with fine lines of blue cut in scallops, which are bound with blue silk, and edged with guipure. Under -skirt of blue silk, trimmed with straps of guipure put on crossways, and finished by a band of the same along each end. Paletot without sleeves, cut in scallops to match the dress, and bound with blue silk edged with guipure. Chemisette of guipure, with long sleeves, made of alternate rows of guipure and blue ribbon. Round bonnet of rice straw, trimmed with a bouquet of seringa and honeysuckle, and two long guides of blue velvet. Brochees silks are worn, but embroidered silks are more in favour, either in black embroidery on coloured grounds, or coloured embroidery on black silk. For the robe " Princesse," each breadth should be embroidered in a separate pattern ; but this is of necessity a very expensive style of dress, and will be confined to the few. Black sashes are extremely ' fashionable, and are worn with any summer dresses ; even with those of plain white muslin. Tulle is much used as trimming for toilettes de The following is a model that may serve very well for slight mourning. Short skirt of silver-grey poult de soie over one of violet silk, trimmed all round at equal distances with large rosettes of tulle of both colours, one on the other, with amethyst buttons in the centre. The casaque very short in front, fitting to the figure, ending at the back in two small jacket ends surmounted by a rosette of tulle. Faucher' of white tulle, trimmed with white lilac and brides of tulle. Jupe fourreau of blue silk, open at the side over a skirt of white alpaca. Small basquine of blue silk, very short, and ending with a short skirt behind under a scarf of blue silk tied at the back. Short tunic, with high body of black silk striped with gold colour, raised at the sides over a skirt to match, which is trimmed with a plaiting of plain silk worked with jet. The tunic is open up the front, and laced together with a plait of black and gold, fixed at each sic',3 under bows of the same and aiguillettes of jet. The sleeves are laced up the back of the arm iu the same manner. As chapeaux de vile, the " Fanchon" and the " Du Barry," with scarf of tulle or barbed of lace, are much worn. The Spanish mantilla is also gain ing favour, and seems likely to be very generally worn. They are of different sizes, some forming only a small mantelet, and crossing in front like a fichu ; whilst others are quite large, enveloping the whole figure. One was arranged so as to form a hood, with a bandeau of jet across the forehead and bou quet of cherries over the left temple ; another, worked all over with jet, was raised by a bandeau of gold and white camellia ; whilst a third, still more Andalusian, was simply raised by a rose at the side, and fastened over the chest with another. A " Fan'2hon" of white straw was trimmed with a scarf of green tulle at the back, draped across the chignon, and forming long barbes over the narrow strings of green ribbon ; the front trimmed with a delicate wreath of jessamine reaching on to the strings. Round bonnet of black crinoline, trimmed with a jet fringe ; at the side a bouquet of roses with green leaves, and others of jet. Long guides of black velvet. The chapeau mouche of white tulle, worked with crystal and edged with white satin; flies of diffe rent colours placed on the front, and on the bow of white satin ribbon placed at the side. Brides of tulle edged with satin. The " Marie Louise" of black straw ; on the summit a flat baw of blue satin, with coquilles of the same satin in front, with guides of the same. Brides of black lace, and small bouquets of ane mones with gold centres placed across the front. The " Parisien" is also much worn, made of crape --white, blue, pink, maize, or lilac. It is of the form fanchon ; the crape is bouillonne with tulle of the same colour, and the front is trimmed with small flowers, such as lilies of the . valley, daisies, myosotis, wild roses, &c., placed on the crape and covered with tulle. The part of the bonnet resting on the chignon is trimmed with a bow of narrow ribbon the same colour as the crape, and a voilette of tulle illusion. A very pretty fringe, formed of small balls or beads of silk the same colour as the trimming, is much used instead of those of crystal or jet, and makes a pleasing change. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—There can now be no longer any doubt of the Emperor Maximilian's execution. The news we first received, being sent by the captain of an Austrian vessel of war which had been placed on the station, apparently to watch the progress of events and to aid in saving, if possible, the life of the Archduke, was at once felt to rest on no unsound authority, and exc i ted profound anxiety both at Paris and Vienna. The captain had telegraphed from New Orleans to the Austrian Minister at NVashington, who had sent the news by the Atlantic cable to his Government in Europe. There was, therefore, no po ss ibi l i ty that this intelligence should turn out to be a mere New York rumour, or the work of some one incited by the desire of mischief or of gain. Still it was possible that the Austrian officer might h ave been misinformed, and for two days people have hoped against hope. All doubt is now dispelled by the intelligence received yesterday. In our second edition we announced from New York the official confirmation of the news, and a similar statement was made by Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli in Parliament last evening. It was then announced that her Majesty would be unable to attend the review of the troops that had been fixed for to-day. In Paris there is an end of all the entertainments which had been devised in hon our of the Sultan. The Court of the Tuileries, in the midst of th e f estivities of the Exhibition, and during the visit of those Oriental rulers to whom it had desired to display all its magnificence, has pbereinnees Which is no id tr h u a c de k wpitrhishaedb, and as heavy as if a French d le has signof mourningconventional grief. Al t h ough we had no share in the policy which has come to such a disastrous end, although the success of the scheme for turning Mexico from a Republic into an Empire was doubted even by those who desired to see the anarchy of the country abated, yet there will be as sincere a re gret here for th e f ate of the misguided Archduke as there is among the French, on whose honour his execution inflicts a stain, or among the Austrians, where he is remembered with esteem and affection. Of what passed between the surrender and the execution of Maximilian we know almost nothing. It is to be feared that his death had been resolved upon by his adversaries from the first. The ominous silence maintained concerning him, broken only by the utterances of the Mexican Minister at Wash ington, was enough to induce the apprehension that the worst was intended. Deliberately, and in obedience to the detestable policy of the country, the life of the Archduke has been taken, and another and a crowning crime added to the blood stained annals of Mexico. The savage spirit which distinguishes the Spaniards of either hemisphere, and which is intensified in the New World by an infusion of the blood of the relentless Indian and the barbarous negro, has been displayed in the moment of his final victory by the President Juarez. Never, since the period of civil wars and revolutions began 57 years ago, amid the anarchy of old Spain, has a more wanton and uselss crime been committed in either Spain or Mexico. Spaniards in both Worlds and on both sides of the equator have been butchering each other since that time. Even under the rei g n o f a Q ueen an d a system styled Liberal, it was said that the Spaniards were continually con jugating the word "to shoot." "I shoot, thou shootest, he shoots, we shoot, you shoot, they shoot." Within a year the verb has been conju gated in every mood and tense in Madrid, and soldiers by the dozen sent to execution. But nothing that has been done under Ferdinand and his daughter, or by Carlist or Christino partisans during the war— nothing that has been done in the revolutions which make up all that independent Mexico has of history, will compare with the cruelty and folly of this execu tion. It has been long since hinted that the Impe rialist chiefs, if taken, must not expect to be treate I as prisoners of war, since it was known that both the French and the Imperialists had shot some of their prisoners, taken on fo rmer occasions. The pro clamation of the Emperor, under which these acts were committed, would, it was said, j us tif y repr i sa l s on his person. But the re is at least this difference between the two cases, that with the capture of a guerrilla officer the war was not brought to an end, and in the stern policy of war it might be held necessary to strike terror into others who might take up arms against the Government in power. But when the Emperor was take n th ere was incontestably an end to the empire. Can it seriously be believed that Juarez thought that if Maximilian returned to Europe he would make his appearance again, like Iturbide, to begin a second revolution ? The severi ties of the French, who were, we believe, the chief offenders, and of one or two of the Imperialist Generals, cannot be justified, but to avenge these deeds, committed in the heat of a civil war, by the execution of the fallen Emperor when his cause was hopeless has no excuse. We cannot but see in this act the ferocity of the native character, or avoid be lieving that had even Maximilian refrained from arrogating to himself that most invidious right of sovereignty, the right of treating domestic foes as rebels, he would equally have shared the fate that befell his partisans. The good-feeling and the corn ' mon sense of the world will reject the excuses which the new Governors of Mexico will probably make for this crime. European States can at least express their opinion of it by the reception they gave to whatever persons Juarez may think fit to send to them as his representatives. The feeling excited will not be confined to the Old World. We know not how far the Government of Washington exerted itself to save the Archduke, but if the American Press re presents the opinions of its readers there has existed among Americans a profound sympathy for the fallen Austrian, and a desire that he should be allowed to d e p ar t f rom the country in safety. The feeling of the Americans in Paris, always among the roost educated and refined of their countrymen, has been shown by their determination to abandon or defer the celebration of the Anniversary of In dependence. Such an act is the more creditable to them slice th e i r political sympathies are, of course, with the came, of Juarez, whose authority the United States have ever recognised, and to whom. the Ame rican people have given important material assist ; the Texan frontier having been in fact the Liberal base of operations, and the quarter from which Juarez and his party received supplies of every sort. There is a general consent that this has been a cr ue l and dastardly act, and such a feeling will only be deepened by time. We cannot but be lieve that af ter so many years of anarchy and poli teal v engeance the cup of. Mexican evild o i ng is well nigh full, and that the time approaches when the land must be possessed by au abler, a nobler, and a better race.

Professor Beesley at Exeter H a ll. - Professor Beesly's language at the Exeter-hall meeting on Tuesday night appears to us to be as un just and as disgraceful as anything that has been said of late by a man who has the ear of any con siderable section of the public. He said, in reference to Governor Eyre, that he " was a murderer whose hands were red with the blood of more than 400 men, and this man committed his crimes in the inte rests of his employers as Broadhead committed his in the interest of the workmen of Sheffield." We will leave Mr. Beesley and the workmen of London to settle between them the question whether Broad head committed his crimes " in the interest of the workmen of Sheffield," but to say that Governor Eyre murdered 400 men in the interests of his em ployers is both absurd and wicked. Governor Lyre's employer was the Home Government, which dismissed him from his office for what he did, and who had no more interest in the murder of 400 blacks than Pro fessot Beesly had in the Sheffield outrages. To compare Governor Eyre's acts to Broadhead's is possible only to a man jaundiced with hatred of that class of "rich men" which Professor Beesley taunts with in difference to murder. Governor Eyre, under the influence, as we think, of an unfortunate panic, proclaimed martial law in accordance with the pro visions of an Act of the Jamaica Legislature, in accordance with Jamaica precedents, and with the sanction of all the authorities of the island. Courts constituted under this proclamation did, as we think, irregularly and illegally put to death the number of persons stated, and, as we have always maintained, this was a great fault and may in strict ness of law have been murder. But if the matter is regarded morally, there are infinite distinctions be tween these executions and Broadhead's assassina tions. In the firstplace it is unquestionable that Broad head knew he was committing murder; it is equally unquestionable that Governor Eyre thought, wrongly if you please, that he was doing what the law per mitted and even required. Broadhead bad no legal authority, and represented at most what should have been a voluntary association. Governor Eyre re presented the Queen of England, and was respon sible for the lives and for the property of the popu lation of Jamaica. Broadhead murdered men whose conduct was perfectly blameless morally and legally, simply because he disapproved it. Governor Eyre punished those whom he supposed (wrongly again if you please) to have committed crimes worthy of the severest punishment an I to have planned crimes which would have justified all he did. In a word, Broadhead was a systematic sneaking murderer, liar, and thief ; Governor Eyre was a mistaken and over-zealous officer of justice. The one was a murderer in the very worst sense of that worst of all words, the other was a mur derer, if at all, by reason of the excessive severity and stringency of the English law on that sub ject. Professor Beesley, indeed, was good enough to say that " murder by trade unions was no bet ter and no worse than any other murder." We beg to differ from him. Murders differ greatly in moral guilt. Broadhead's murder was far worse than many other murders ; worse, for instance, than a murder committed in a fair duel ; worse than a murder committed upon strong provocation, and in hot blood ; worse than a murder committed without premeditation in order to effect a less heinous crime. It was worse, in short, than any murder not committed with mature premeditation, by prolonged lying in wait, with the assistance of conspiracy, upon principle, for the sake of intimida tion, and without provocation or excuse, by a cold blooded, lying fanatic, who had the hypocrisy to denounce his own diabolical villany as soon as he had carried it out. We are quite willing to admit that any other murder, not committed by a trade unionist, of which all these things could be affirmed, would be equally bad.—Pall Mall Gazette. COUNTRY MARKETS.
