Miscellaneous Foreign News. (From Correvowlents of the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, July 25. The ancient mythology opens up so large a field of illustration and comparison that one is frequently tempted to draw upon its stores, at the risk of being considered pedantic. As fast as Ilercules cut off the heads of the hydra, a number of others sprung up in its place, and in like manner, though the Tzar ha.s gone back to his icebound territories, and the fez of the True Believer no longer enlivens the Rue Faubourg St. llonor6, nor flutters the hearts of its fair inhabitants, a myriad other attractions supply their place. The evening of Sunday last was so tempting in its refreshing coolness and beauty after the burning heat and dust of the day that I strolled out beyond the Barrier of Clichy with the view of reaching the Seine at a point where it leaves behind the hum of the mighty city, and wanders away plea- sintly into the green fields and vineyards beyond. Long ere I reached the river -side, however, I found myself borne on in the midst of a continuous stream of people to what, think you, reader ? A village fete, not, however, one of the rural fetes of tho olden time, rejoicing in sheperdesses and blue rib bons, but the Fete Patronale of Clichy. The dis trict of Clichy, like many of the districts of London, has extended far beyond its original limits, and thus presents in one the attractions of both town and country. The palmy days of Greenwich fete or Fair, as well as those of nearly all such similar institutions in England, have taken boots to themselves, and their attractions have fallen into the sere and yellow leaf. Not so, however, in France, where the muni cipal and other authorities mix up with and aid in the entertainment, the inhabitants of the district being requested in the bills of the fete published by the Mayor to do everything in their power to further the affair, even to decorati❑g their houses with the never-failing (lrapeau of France ; and in consequence, such spectacles, instead of gradually falling into decay, have reached a greater pitch of splendour and prosperity than ever—the various ac- cessories of the decorations, illuminations, feu d'ar- ti lice, the splendid tent of the Ville de Paris ar- ranged for a gigantic ball (the profits to be directed towards the support of the poor of the district), cou - pled with the duration of the fete—which lasts upwards of a fortnight induce the presence of a better class of tralesme❑ and exhibitors. The ingenuity and taste of the French cha racter, redeem these fetes or fairs from the low character which has crept on them in England. As I have said, the little town of Clichy, though still beyond the barriers of Paris, has gradually become one of its suburbs, the Grand Rae of the Batignolles extending to it in a right line, which immediately after forms the broad road leading into the open country beyond. In speaking of the barriers of Paris, the reader must know that there is what is termed a barrier on each side of the city made by iron gates erected across the main roads uniting the ancient fortifications and now empty moat which still surrounds its walls. These barriers are guarded by the Customs' officers, who levy a duty ou all articles of a certain class coming into or going out of Paris. Here also a rigorous search takes place of all vehicles, a process interfering considerably with traffic and public comfort, for even a private cab is examined as scrupulously by the officers as a vehicle adapted for trade purposes. But to resume. For more than half a mile after passing the barrier, the distance between it and the square, or grande place of the town, the visitor walked under what appeared to be a ccntinued arch of fire, an effect produced by a countless number of illuminated lamps suspended in arch shaped festoons to two poles erected on either side of the road, a large cluster of lamps hanging also from the apex, the poles decorated with escutcheons, bearing the initials of the Emperor and a number of tricolored banners ; the whole of these decorations„ as well as the tent of the Vile de Paris, being the property of the authorities, and erected at their expense. Oa each sid e of the road, or rather boulevard, extended a long row of tia r a T ies, or covered woo len stalls, fitted up with circular nz , volving, in ino3t. in3tanet.‘s, with porcelain, Bohemian glass, packets of I);jon bonbons, huge heaps of irtin trepice, :mil the never-failing live rabbit, aJorned with its re ,1 ribbon, which oftener than anything else forms one of the principal prizes of such exhibitions. The adventurer who tries his fortune administers an impetus to the table on something like the spirit-rapping principle, and when it stops his hopes of anything like a valuable prize generally stops too. One of these baraques, however, was fitted up in a grand scale, the prizes consisting of Sevres porcelain ; the affair was conducted upon the lottery principle, a number of cards, each con taining three rows of figures, being handed to each speculator, and a machine composed of three large ornamented wheels, being set in motion by the pro prietor; the person on whose card was found con secutively the three numbers indicated by the machine in question became the fortunate possessor of the prize, whatever that might happen to be. Another stall was devoted entirely to the produc tion and sale of the cake so renowned in France, the palette, the cakes being made on the spot, and baked in two enormous black-looking machines, having the appearance of shipwrecked steam en gines, whilst in a third the process of making the bonbon was exhibited in a similar manner. The Tir, also, was extensively patronised, not, however, practised as in England, by means, of iron funnels, fitted with a circular target at the extremity, but on a far more varied and extensive scale, with busts of the youthful hero of Austrian brutality, his eyes bandaged, and a very diminutive stone apple on his head, with revolving pipes ; and, above all, with a wooden mark elevated on the top of a high pole, between two lighted lanterns, something like the ancient Scottish popinjay, and so constructed as when struck to discharge a small rocket. A host of small swindles filled up the interstices of the booths. One interesting gentleman attired in a Prussian uniform, and armed with c. long jockey whip, particularly attracted my attention. This hero was exhausting his natural eloquence in en deavouring to persuade the bystanders of the facility with which it was possible to remove from a basin by means of the whip in question a candlestick with a halfpenny fixed on the top; his influence, how ever, did not appear greatly to influence the crowd, where ears like those of the crew of Ulysses seemed to have been fortified against his sirenic seduc tions. A little further on, and I arrived at the public square, which was tenanted by a considerable number of exhibitors of every description, in the middle of which were two immense swings. The reader will probably smile when I speak of swings, hut as it is more than probable that he never saw mechanism so curious and powerful as that exhi bited at the fete of Clichy, I will venture a short description. Fancy somethir o , like a royal tent decorated with crimson hangings and panelled mirrors, the effect increased by a large number of Chinese paper lanterns placed in the middle of a circular squadron of wooden horses five abreast, the whole revolving to the sound of music concealed, as well as the machinery, beneath the hangings of the tent, and giving the beholder the ilea of an Indian army escorting the palanquin of some native prince or rajah. The other, though of quite a different character, was equally curious as regarded its mechanism, being compose 1 of a series of gigan tic iron wheels arranged with great apparent lightn-235, between. which revolved with extraor dinary rapidity some eight open carriages. An idea may be formed of the height of this structure when I mention that it required a very long ladder to ascend to a small platform placed by each nave of the wheel for the purpose of working the machine. y. There was also the Prince Colibri, the smallest female dwarf in the world, who had had the honour of being served up in a pie, like the celebrated Geoffrey Hudson of old before the King of the Bel gians. There was also—but I am exceeding my limits on one especial subject, and therefore 1 shall not pause to describe either the very curious mecha nical exhibition of all the variou3 fabrications of Valenciennes, or the various and manifold spec tacles, waxwork, &c., even down to that which appeared t o P° 3B ess great attractions for the fair sex, and w hi c h was _ no less than the exhibition of five twi n c hild ren, w of hose parents had selected this improving met h od indemnifyi ng themselves for their previous family disadvantages. Neither shall I speak of the magnificent Feu d' Artifice which, under the direction of the Emperor's special pyro technist, wound up the amusements. I shall only say that fetes of this nature are of constant and weekly occurrence in the vicinity of Paris, at such places as St. Cloud, Versailles, Fontainebleau, and Manly ; and each of which, in addition to the at tractions of au open air fete, possesses some in trinsic and special claim to the notice of the visitor. .he Freemasons of Scotland at present in Paris have opened a lodge of instruction upon an inter national principle, to last from the 22d to the 28th. No doubt numbers of foreign brethren will eagerly avail themselves of the opportunity afforded them. An accident occurred the other day in the Vosges, singularly illustrative of the anomalous state of re ligious opinions in the Departments of France. On the occsion of the Fete Dieu a small scaffolding had been erected for the representation of an allegory resembling the miracle plays of the middle ages, viz., the temptation and expulsion from Paradise of our first parents, even the Deity being profanely personified on the occasion. On the sentence of expulsion being pronounced, Adam and Eve set up a loud cry, which, though duly forming part of the programme, was unfortunately misunderstood by thy surrounding crowd, who believing that some acci dent had occurred, precipitated themselves in a body upon the stage, which, as the carpenters had not anticipated such a demonstration, gave way, and Adam and Eve were precipitated amidst their de scendants with such force as to cost the former another rib, mother Eve escaping with sundry severe contusions. Were not such scenes of frequent oc currence, one could scarcely believe in such retro grade progress in the nineteenth century, and side by side with the Universal Exposition. An amusing illustration of the pettiness of some of the German Principalities was afforded the other day in the case of the Prince of Bukebourg, who finding that the war-tax levied for an increase of his lilliputian army was insufficient coolly dis banded his entire force, and putting the money in his pocket devoted it to a tour in Switzerland, a summary, though not altogether unpleasant, method of dealing with national finances, and calculated to lighten considerably the duties of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. On Sanday last not only the Palais d'lndustrie, but every available access and avenue, were crowded to overflowing on the occasion of the Concours International des Museques Milit.►ires, who have come to Paris at a considerable expense, under the command of general officers, the Cheva liers of the Russian Guard in especial having ex pended on their voyage the sum of 15,000 francs. The jury, under the Presidency of General Melliuct, were stationed in the front row of the spectators. It is unnece,:sary to speak of the exquisite character of such a musical performance, and the jury found it so difficult to decide that they preferred rather to increase the number of prizes, which were given in the following order :—First, Grand prizes of 5,000 francs—Regiment of the Dake of Wurtemberg (Austria), Zimmerman ; Gar.le Royale and Grena diers of the Guard (Russia), Wieforecht ; Garde de Paris (France), Paulus. Second, Grand prize of 3,000 francs—Chevaliers Gardes Russes (Rusiia), Doarfeld ; Ist Regiment Royal Infantry (Bavaria), Sirbenkaes; Guides de la Garde Imperiale (France), Creponois. Third, Grand prize of 2,000 francs— Grenadiers of the Guard (Grand Duchy of Baden), Barg ; Grenadiers et Chasseurs (Pays Bas) Dunken. Fourth, Grand prize of 1,000 francs—lst Regiment du Genie (Spain), Mamio ; Grenadiers (Belgium), Bender. The Chevaliers of the Russian Guard went through their performance drawn up in regi mental order, and the magnificent uniform of the Guide 3 was greatly admired. The friends of Voltaire are using incredible exer- ions in getting up a subscription for a statue in honour of that departed genius, whether, however, the erection, after the opp3sition it has called forth, will prove a real service or otherwise to hi; memory, time will show. A line in one of the satires of Juvenal commencing with an if, would, in my opinion, be singularly applicable on the occasion. The visit of the Emperor of Austria is spoken of as likely to take place daring the last week in August. The Viceroy of Egypt, wh) appears one of the most practical of the Princes who have visited Paris, has remitted to the Prefect of the Seine the sum of 20,000 francs for the poor of the various arrondissements, and an additional sum of 25,000 francs for the foundation of a Bourse at the College Chaptal, whilst the Sultan has forwarded to the Prefect and to M. Dumas, President of the Muni cipal Commission, the Grand Cordon of ()mania. The French journals state that the small Ger man States fallen under the power of Prussia feel heavily the change of Government, especially in the shape of imposts, and find they have gotten King Stork instead of King Log. A bruit circu lated the other day that a fresh disagreement was likely to arise between France and Prussia, relative to the interpretation of an article of the Treaty of Prague. The Prussian papers, however, continue to vaunt the perfect understanding existing between the two countries. The various deputations from the military bands, who competed the other day at the Palace of Industry, are occupied in giving concerts in Paris, previous to their departure, probably by way of in demnifying themselves for the considerable expenses they have incurred on the occasions of their visit. The Parisians are enthusiastic admirers of martial music, and the rare opportunity thus afforded to strangers will also contribute to the producing a full attendance. A concert is announced by the Grenadiers of the Grand Duchy of Baden for the benefit of the town of Paris. Whatever may be the beneficial results of so mach "international contours" to industry and commerce, those who follow the progress of the Ex position from day to day cannot fail to observe that international urbanity, with goodwill among exhibitors, and towards one's fellow - creatures generally, are by no means receiving a humanising impetus. Complaints of rude treatment and ill-feeling are daily published in the papers. They are either made by provincial visitors, who coolly ask the nation for redress, as if the nation were not suffi ciently troubled with dressing without re-doing anything of the kind, or by pessimists, who exag gerate shortcomings into crimes, whereas they are simply the consequences of a vast undertaking. That some very legitimate discontent has arisen of late in the awarding of medals and levies of money at entrances where free passes were expected is a notorious fact, but not every old lady and um brella who " come to an understanding" with a guar dian's head because he covers up three minutes before the closing hour has struck ; not every stranger who gets sworn at by Bavarian brewers, nor young men who are turned out of Russia for political opinions, have a right to fill our columns with their grievances. What the Imperial Com mission should make an object of consideration and reform is that those who have founded and just cause for complaint are never listened to in time ; law suits ensue which might be avoided ; and the honourable 60 members are inexcusable for returning no direct answer when asked why they we!come all solicitors as one woul.l welcome young pugs dash ing through a quiet game of nine-pins. The Im perial Commission should stenograph a few unbiassed opinions given in public about their private financial transactions, the effect of this would be to dispel their idea of raising a subscription fur the erection of a monument to themselves, a very fanciful but totally impracticable theory for the present. In one of my recent letters I give a description of the gems and jewellery exhibited at the Champs de Mars; in this I must not overlook woman's love liest ornanament flowers. The fabrication of artificial flowers may be called artistic ; it is one of the most interesting of Parisian indus tries, and the extent of trade in the article is about eighteen millions of francs per an num ; it is divided into a great many different branches, and employs fifteen thousand persons. After the above statistical account now comes the last commercial communication : three quarters of the whole amount of artificial flowers made in France are exported principally to England mid America. Why should this be? Are the materials employed in the manufacture of flowers solely of French production ? Have England and America no muslin, no cambric, no wire, no places, no whalebone, no goffering-irons, no stamps ? We have all these things I am told, but no taste. I had a strange fancy before this information was given me that taste was the consequence of observation and the study of nature, which no race follows to the same extent as the Saxon, but where that race is wanting in taste, I see, is in paying duties for what could be taught and acquired at home. On the other hand, artificial flowers may be beneath the notice of England and America, but French taste yearly proves that 18,000,000 f. are not unworthy the regard of the nation. But, to return to the poetical part of my subject, how much livelier is a wreath of spring blossoms i❑ maidens' fair hair than the false chignons, plaits, and curls which are now cut from peasant girls' un kempt heads, and proudly worn by the most fastidious daughters of our noblesse. What depths of oblivion in the hearts of girls who but a season or two ago made con quests (which they were wrong not to secure) with no other ornament than a rich, full rose; how con venient were rosebu Is ; and of all modern lan guages, how easy was the language of flowers ! People cannot talk with chignons ; besides, hair is so dear that every struggling bristle on a bald pate has to be coaxed into stopping where it has pleased nature to plant it, however shiny and desolate the surface. Flowers are forgotten, therefore, but a visit to the Exposition shows that they are en joying the respite and beautifying meanwhile. There are elegies, idyls, landscapes, all made of materials used for artificial flowers. In one stand, the loveliest of all, is a lake on which float the white lily (nymphea) and yellow rienephor. Behind is a grotto, overgrown with trailing ivy. I was unbelieving enough to request I might be allowed to touch this ivy. The crisp feeling of texture had even been baffled, and nothing but sap was wanting. In the shade, at the foot of the rocky grotto, grew the humble violet, buried in foliage, the fairest strawberry, and stately blue bell, while a diaphanous dragon fly was poised on a blade of long grass. Here, too, was the perfect orna mental begonia, ordered by the Duke of Man chester, and the magnificent calladlain chosen by Mr. Archer for botanical studies at the Museum of Sciences, Edinburgh. I say nothing of the yellow and purple flags, half concealed by tall sedges, but pass on to the shower of roses falling down a slope. They are sent in by the Conatesse de Beaulincourt, an amateur of artificial roses, and one of the most aristocratic of the fair dames of France. Profes sional flower-makers cannot rival her, though she teaches indefatigably for the love of art and her fellow-creatures. Her china tea rose, slightly blushing with pink ; her damask, which is almost purple; her yellow nut rose in the bush, are not surpassed i❑ the world. Every description of rose is exhibited by her, from the bursting centifolia bud to the wild briar dog-rose. This is an elegant pas time, more satisfactory in its result than those lame reproductions of nature which some ladies de light in, and which they call " sketching" from nature on tourist albums. The Countess de Beau lincourt is a tourist also, but she climbs the rocks for a wild flower, and sits for hours copying it with the perseverance of love till she produces one exactly like her model, lacking nothing but that supreme breath, the gift of living and dying. Farther on still the ragged thorn-bush, covered with the fleece of stray sheep, leads one to dream of the days when heat subdues nature, and the labourer seeks for the longest grass he can find by some welcome stream. Then, behind some glass stands, we have the morning dew on field flowers or evening rest among languidly silent leaves. All this is beautiful, and what spoils the treat is the knowledge that of the forty flower ex hibitors not one had the gold medal, because eleven competitors would have been clamorous ; therefore the eleven had silver medals awarded to them, and all are discontented. Distinctions are considered worthless where all alike: are distinguiihed. The arrival of the American fleet at Cherbourg, and the change of Commanders, has brought a largo number of American officers to Paris. While all regret the de parture of Admiral Goldsborough and his efficient staff, there is no citizen of the United States but will feel a thrill of pleasure on learning that we are to have Admiral Farragut as our representative in European waters. The Admiral was mot at the railway by Colonel Norton, the United States Commissioner, and other resident Americans. The large number of lads rom the school ship in naval uniform who accompanied the Admiral added much to the effect. Among the various receptions and other attentions shown Admiral and Mrs. Farragut the reception given by Gen. Dix was decidedly a success. All the prominent Americans in Paris were invited, and the result was that the spacious apartments of our Minister were crowded. As representatives of our country there were present, besides the Admiral and Gen. Dix, Mr. Nicolay, Consul ; Colonel Hoffman, Secretary of Legation ; Colonel Hay, Charge d'Affaires to Vienna ; Dr. Evans, Mr. Beckwith, and Colonel Norton, United States Commissioners; Senators Doolittle and Morrill, Mr. Basson of the Post Office Department, Hon. J. M. Brodhead, Montgomery Gibbs, and T. M. Smith, Esq., Treasury Department ; Hon. Townsend Harris, Rev. Dr. Lamson ; Judge Allison and Daniel Dougherty, Esq., of Philadel phia; Mrs. Farragut, Mrs. Nicolay, Mrs. Clarke, Madame Ronald, Madame Zobrowska, the charming bride ; Miss Thomas, of Washington, Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Dougherty Mrs. M‘Ginnis, the Misses Beck witt, and many others repro senting the better half of creation. All were gratifindlo have the opportunity of meeting the admiral, and felt indebted to our minister, who in the absence of the ladies of his family, could so successfully inaugurate an impromptu re ception. The English chapel, Avenue Marbouf, was crowded with Americans on the 19th inst., to witness the ceremony of marriage between the late belle of Paris, Mrs. Hewitt, and Martin Zobrowska, Esq., of New York. Although the shock to many hearts held for the past season in suspense will be very great, yet all, oven her victims, will unite in best wishes for future health and happiness to the fair bride. Loaded with flowers and with the rays of sunlight through the chancel, illumining the scone, Madame Zobrowska had every favourable omen for her future, and all present will remember with pleasure the beautiful scene. Tho war in Paraguay, which has for nearly throe years occupied public attention, but particularly of those interested in American affairs, may be virtually said to be at an end. The allies who, as long ago as last September, received a check at Curupaity, from which, up to the last date, they could not recover, have, with the greatest sacrifices, tried to keep the few dearly-bought miles of Paraguayan ground—Curuyn and Tupiti, but even these few miles they have latterly been forced to abandon with a heavy loss. It seems that nature herself has come to help the bravo Paraguayans. The rivers Paraguay and Parana, by last accounts, re ceived through the French mail via Bordeaux, have risen to such an extent as to overflow the whole Brazilian en campments, forcing them to seek shelter, and to retire to the Paso de la Patria. The situation of the allies becomes every day more dangerous. It is impossible for them to advance, as Marshal Lopez, besides keeping his impreg nable position, is well provided, and the allied forces are not strong enough to venture an attack. They also dare not retreat for fear of being annihilated. General Palivaro had arrived at Rio, and placed before his Government a statement of the critic d state of the army and navy ; and as it was impossible for the Brazilian Government to raise a new army by recruiting, it was generally believed that they would accept the renewed offer of mediation made by the United States, or be forced to send thirty or forty thousand slaves to Paraguay to fill the ranks. This last step, of course, would cost an immense amount of money, as the Government have to bring them ; but that they would fight better than the regular troops is nut very likely. On the 2d June Congress had been opened at Buenos Ayres, and the speech of President Mitre was anything but satisfactory, as every topic of vital interest to the country was omitted, leaving the public to jttilgo how desperate the situation was. General Mitre asked for a new levy of men from the provinces, and provided Brazil a would augment the armynd navy ho would again take contmind. The expenses brought on by this war are so enormous that it was feared, as no fresh loan could be raised in Europe, the Government would issue new treasury notes, which would materially damage those existing, now quoted at 56 per cent. Business at Buenos Ayres, except connected with the war, was very dull. Winter had set in ye. y strong, with a cold unknown before, and done a great deal of damage to the flocks and grazing grounds. Every one was most heartily sick of this never-ending war, and the opposition to the existing Government is trying to bring forward as candidate for the next presidency, only a peace maker. At Monte Video things do not look much bettor. General Flores, it was said, wished to resign, as he had been publicly accused of having sold by private treaty the Republic of Uruguay to Brazil, which now virtually, under the plea of an ally, has possossion of that fertile country. Several Americans had arrived at Monte Video and BueLos Ayres from Brazil, after enduring THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, great hardships, having been enticed to go by Brazilian immigrant agents at New York, under very plausible pre tences and promises ; but on their arrivial at the port of their destination they were wanted to join the army to fight in Paraguay, which of course they did not do, and those who could and had the means got away. The Buenos Ayres Standard relates the tale of their sufferings and pri vations as a warning to others. If Captain M. F. Maury is permitted to return to the United States—which we hope ho may be, for though once a bad rebel, he was long before, and we hope he may lung hereafter be, a most useful and scientific citizen—he will assuma a professorship in the Virginia Military Institute. Governor Ord entertained General Sickles in Charleston at a State dinner on Independence Day.

Vice-Chancellor• Malins will be the vacation ucige in Chancery. The Paris correspondent of the Standard writes : "Paris is just now flooded with a new description of visitors—naval cadets belonging to an American training ship in Cherbourg roads. These young fellows are a vet; favourable specimen of our American cousins. They are stout, tall, well-built lads, and their quiet, gentlemanlike demeanour has made a very favourable impression." Juarez and his Cabinet left San Luis Potosi on the Ist inst. for the capital. Baron Magnas has evidently retired from Mexico, as will be seen from tlu3 following announcement :—" The diplomatic representation of Prussia in Mexico has been placed in charge of the Euvoys of friendly Powers." The French Government has recaived a telegram from M. Dane, the French Minister in Mexico, dated the 9th inst. M. limo thought he should not leave Mexico for another week. The assurance of their cJuntrymau's safety will give great satisfactien in Paris. Sir Harry Parkes has succeeded in establishing two additional foreign settlements in Japan. Count Bismarck has been invested with the functions of Chancellor of the Confederation of Northern Germany.

It was reported by the steamship Saxon that arrired at Table Bay from the Eastern route previous to the departure of the Briton (Juno 19) that there was i very probability of Dr. Livingstone being still alive.

Mr. Bingl►:(m, of Ohio, spoke for twenty minutes on Monday, the 9th inst., in support of the Third Re construction Bill with such thrilling eloqueace that his speech is said to have been the most brilliant effort made in Congress for many years. Mr. Friedrich Kapp will publish in Philadelphia in the fall a German " History 'of the German Emigration in America." The Rev. Leonard Woods, LL.D., formerly pre sident of Bowdoin College, hasgono to Europe for the pur pose of completing the documentary history of Maine, the Legislature having given the Historical Society of that State an appropriation for the purpose. Some idea of the operations of the American Tract Society is conveyed by the statement that during the year ending April 1, 1867, it printed nearly 44,000,000 pages of minor reading ma' ter, with enough more in the form of books to make a total of over 21 5,000,000 pages. These belonged to 837,676 volumes, and over 7,000,000 copies of tracts. The new Hebrew collegiate institution, of which we recently spoke as in contemplation, is now de finitely determined upon. The Jews in America have already established educational institutions of different grades in New . York, Savannah, Mobile, Now Orleans, Cleveland, Albany, and other cities. This projected Mai monides College at Philadelphia is designed for a more ad vanced course of study than is pursued in any of,the others, and of more thorough instruction in Hebrew than has over yet been afforded in any theological seminary in America. " The conclusion has been formed," says The Jewish 3fessenger, " of not restricting the college course to Hebrew and theological studies, so that, instead of a divinity school, it is to be a college in the popular accepta tion. It will have a faculty of science and letters as well as a faculty cf Hebrew ; it will furnish general instruction in classics, mathematics, and belles lettres, as well as a special course for the future Hebrew minister and teacher. The plan is somewhat more grand and comPrehensive than was first contemplated, but there appear to have been judi cious reasons for its adoption."—Round Tahle. Professor Kerr, of North published a report of a g eol ogical survey of the State of North Carolina. The territor y Caroliha,eiored has recently in the western part of the State is included within eleven counties west of the Blue Ridge and Yellow Mountain. After commenting on the ancient character of the rocks of the region, the Profes sor says: "And not only do they belong to the lowest geological horizon, but the entire absence of all later formation makes it accessary to conclude that we have here an extensive tract of the oldest land on the globe ; and as North America is the oldest form of the Continents, so the black mountain is theoldest of its brotherhood, and was the first to emerge from the face of the unbroken sphere of waters when the command came forth, " Lot the dry land appear."

The Pope has fdiwarded the following answer to the address recently sent him by the Catholics of England and Scotland : Beloved Sons, Health and Apostolical Benediction. We congratulate you, beloved sons, that you show yourselves true offspring of saints. Proof of this is that grateful remembrance with which you foster the blessing of the faith, once carried froin this Roman Chair to your island, and of late re stored and increased. Proof, too, of that holy transport with which you commemorate the con stancyof your fathers, and their sufferings for the Catholic faith. Proof, again, of that unquestioning obedience to this Holy See, whose primacy of honour and jurisdiction you assert, whose doctrine you declare that you venerate and embrace with yoU'r whole heart, whose civil rights you hold sacred and necessary unto the free government of the Church ; to which, in fine, you acknowledge yourselves most devoted, and promise a perfect and perpetual adherence. And, indeed, you could put forth nothing more excellent than these duties which are the signal approval of your faith, and nothing to us more agreeable, to whom they give the greatest delight, because we desire nothing more than that all should have one soul, one heart, all be one with us, so that we all may be one in Christ. United with this Holy See your fathers fought, and suffering with fortitude the loss of goods, imprison ment, tortures, and death, handed down to you the faith which they had received whole and entire, and sealed with their blood. And you, closely treading in these noble footsteps up to this time, have sustained, together with us, a mare perilous, though, it may be, not so ferocious a form of conflict ; but it was with the assurance that so long as you were fixed in this rock, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, victory must be with you. Go on, then, ever in this way the more firmly ; proceed together with us to contend by the arms of justice against the haters of religion and truth ; endeavour yet more studiously to propitiate God by your zeal and works of mercy, in which He takes most delight; persevere in prayer, and, acquitting yourselves as men, wait for the Lord, who, at length prevailed upon by entreaty, will scatter the darkness of errors, still disturbances, and, without doubt, restore the reign of justice and of peace. We augur for you the joy of this result, and the abundance of all heavenly graces, in token whereof, and in witness likewise of our paternal goodwill and kindly affection. We most lovingly impart to all of you, and to the whole of England, our Apostolical Benediction. Given at Rome, at St. Peter's, on the 10th day of July, 1867, of our Pontificate the twenty-second year. Pius P.P. IX. A Parallel Case.

Not content with home institutions, She devoted 'whole fortttnes to founding foreign bishoprics. In a word, the' Bareness was held up, deservedly, as the model of a lady of large, independent fortune. ' Now it chanced that the Quakers of London, to the number of some two thousand, went over to Brussels to-enjoy themselves for a week or so." They were well received, and experienced much hospi tality. Public entertainment's were arranged for them, at which speeches were made, all to the glo rification of the Society of Friends. Drab and , grey, their distinctive colours, floated everywhere beside the Belgian flag. The very shadow of a broad brim elicited cheergin the streets of Brussels. It may not be generally known that among the peculiarities of this society is one regarding the articles of food permitted to its members. On certain days the Quakers are'strictly prohibited the use of vegetables. Meat and bread they may take on those days at discretion ; but it would be a serious violation of the precepts they are bound to obey to touch anything, then, that grows in the kitchen-garden. , • . • The Mayor of Brussels, in an entertainment to which he invited his Quaker guests in the Hotel de Ville, showed himself unobservant of this fact ~_ ..._ though sufficiently notorious, • For, whereas the day on which he fixed for his invitation chanced to be a day'on which vegetables are unlawful to the Quakers, to their astonishment and perplexity they found little meat and more vegetables served up to them side by side. So that they whom the Mayor intended to honour were placed in a hard dilemma. They must either content themselves with an insufficient meal of meat, or, by partaking of the vegetables, show themselves remarkibly wet Quakers, with a certainty of hearing more about it on their return to meeting. • This inadiiertence on the Mayor's part was the more extraordinary, because the precepts of the Society were known far and wide in Belgium, and were continual topics of animated discussion. Books of controversy were written, speeches Iriade, polemical challenges issued on everything that Quakers did and that Quakers abstained irom doing. Whether in praise or blame, or as a piece of mere historical information, every well-informed Belgian ought to have been 'able to define a Quaker as a man who, with other observances, abstains from all vegetables on certain days. In fact, Bel gium itself ,had once:been Quaker ; and the whole country had therefore so abstained. Even when they broke off from the society, and set up . a code of their own, they, retained this old Quaker law in the Statue-book which the King of Belgium 944 his Minister of Public Worship then framed for them, though it had indeed, fallen into disuse among the Belgians at large, yet there it stood, in, black and white. A few Belgians of Quakerish propen 7 sities even practised it still. The Mayor of Brussels might hive pleaded in defence of his own vegetable meal that day, - that he was no. 'Quaker, nor - his father . before he was a sound and staunch Belgian, who -. used his liberty, and could take his potato like a gentle man. But he could hardly have: pleaded that he really did not know' his 'guests were bound to ab stain. Ile had probably never examined the Statue-book- aforesaid, in the first page of which was a table of abstinence days, drawn out for his own countrymen, copied (though confusedly) from old Quaker times. Still less could he have read a volume of sermons put forth by royal authority, when Belgium broke off from Quakerism and set up for itself:::' for there he would have found the sedulous eating of meat on those particular days enforced on grounds ,of loyalty, as tending to im prove the meat markets belonging to the King.. But if this mistake in the bill of fare set before his guests by the Mayor of Brussels was so notice— able, what is to be said of an entertainment given a few days after, in the beautiful park of the Baroness Van Biirdhett-Kootz ? When modern Belgian history shall be written, will posterity credit that the same mistake was there repeated on a larger scale ? Every kind of vegetable was there provided in great abundance ; as if the day had no obliga tions for anybody ; as if neither Quaker observance nor Belgian Statute-book had said a single word about the matter. Now, if the Sultan, who was in Brussels at the moment with a numerous suite, or the Cham of Tartary with his body guard, or a l band of volunteer riflemen from the Mormons had been entertained by either Mayor or Baroness, it is reasonable to suppose-that inquirywould have been made before hand whether the guests had any conscientious ob servances to be consulted in the programme of their entertainment. Neither Mayor nor Baroness would have invited two thousand Jews, to regale them with pork ; nor two thousand Brahmins, to regale them with beef ; nor two thousand anybodies (ex cept only • Quakers), to regale them with • what their law forbade. Greased cartridges provoked a mutiny among the Hindoo native army. The Quakers in question might have been expected to enter a more peaceful and dignified protest against the culpable heedlessness of their enter tainers by leaving all these recherches and vegetables untouched on their plates. Some of them, pro bably, were wet Quakers at the best : all of them were physically hot and tired ;• the vegetables had a tempting look, even like the apple that was so pleasant to the eyes in Paradise ; the Quakers who eyed- them were but children of Eve. So the same thing was then done which has been done be fore, and will, unhappily, be done again : a delibe rate violation of the known law, with the conse- quences incurred. The next time that Mayor or Baroness (and these are only the two most prominent offenders in Brussels) invite any members of the Society of Friends, would it not be well for them to sit down first and consider whether a Quaker might possibly have a conscience ? Admitting such a hypothesis, would not a second question follow, whether it does not belong to the tact and delicacy of true hospi tality to respect the consciences of others, so far as they do not interfere with one's own ? If you cannot think Quakers' observances are in themselves reasonable, yet remember that he is bound by:them. Don't ask him to dinner on a banyan day, or else give him what he can eat with a safe conscience. Do not act fox to the crane, nor Antiochus to the Machabees. And this is about the least that is to be said of it. TRIAL OF THE AMERICAN 15-INCH GUN AT SHOEBURYNESS. On Wednesday the American 15-inch naval gun was tried at Shoeburyness for penetration against the famous No. 29 target, with 8-inch armour plates and Warrior-backing of 18 inches of teak timber, and a double number of supporting ribs. The gun cast-iron smooth bore, 191 tons, was fired with a charge of 60 lbs. of American mammoth powder, at a range of 70 yards direct, at the 8-inch target. The first projectile used was an American spherical cast-iron shot, 453 lbs. weight, diameter 14.895 inches ; elevation, five minutes ; velocity, 1,174 feet per second. The shot struck the target near the horizontal junction of the armour plates, nipping about two inches only of the lower one, and smashing a deep indent of four inches into the plate, rebounded nearly entire—the striking face being flattened and a few largish fragments splin- tered off—twelve feet back from the front of the target. The armour plates were separated from each other vertically at the left edge about two inches, the space tapering along the whole plate to the right. The buckling from the indent extended over 41 inches of area, and at the striking spot (3 feet from left edge of target) was inwards to the extent of 5 inches ; the edge of the armour plate shearing the teak backing like a long chisel cut. The armour plate was also slightly buckled over its whole extent, and permanently set away from the backing at the top to the extent to one inch. At the rear of the target six ribs were bent laWardS some inches and slightly cracked in several plaCes. A largo bolt head immediately be hincl'the,:ll44ent was loosened ; and six butt-joints _of thes:kin;ilates were - opened about the 1-16th of t'afineh-a along their entire lengths. The timbers of toe supports were indented by the spring of the target ionic <two or three inches. The wood back .. lug at the side of the target was considerably split. The second round was with a spherical shot of Pontypool iron cast in sand (a process comparable with the Palliier system of chilling, but not so Cifedlive). Weight of shot, 452.51 b ; actual `diameter, 14.89 inches ; elevation of gun, 10 minutes.; velocity of shot, 1,172 feet per second. The shot struck about 2 feet 6 inches from the right end of the armour-plate on the median line. Half the' shot stuck in the indent (7 inches), the other half Splintering off to a ragged nearly flat face. Buckle on the vertical line, 3 inches at the middle of the width of the plate, and on the horizontal line 1.6 _inches, extending over a surface of five feet. Permanent set away from backing at right edge, 11 inch. No damage at the rear of target. The third round was with a spherical Firth's steel shot hardened in oil; weight 4981 b.; actual diameter 14.915 inches ; elevation of gun ten minutes ; the iclozity of shot 1,134 feet per second. This shot -Was of the finest quality; it struck about 5 feet from the left 'end and a foot from the top edge of the `lower armour plate, and stood out from its front perfectly entire (except six or eight radiating nar row fissures) for about 8 inches, the remainder being buried in the indent it had made in the plate. One separate crack was made in the armour plate at an old scoop; buckle 1.6 inches over an area of 40 inches. In 'the rear one slight crack ; no other damage. There can be no doubt that such hardened steel shot would be most effective missiles fired from these large smooth-bore guns, and would make good penetiation upon very stout armour plates (up to 6 or 7 inches) with the like 601 b. charge of American powder. " . I.)n these results the Standard comments as fol loWs :--" The effects of these shot are alike im portant to every country in Europe, for there is not an ironclad ship afloat that would be likely to come off scatheless from their 'penetration. The Warrior and La Gloire classes would certainly be cleanly penetrated ; the Bellerophon and Lord Warden are the only ones that would stand any chance of resisting ; but it is questionable whether they, too, would not succumb. The Hercules ought to keep these missiles out, but she is not yet afloat. We do not for one moment intend to indicate any superiority for the American 15-inch gun over our o'wn -ineh, or even in most cases our smaller 7-inch guns, whilst Major Palliser has recently de monstrated the way for converting our large stock of GB-pounders and other cast iron cannon into really efficient rifled artillery. Nor would we attempt to contend that the heavier missiles of the American guns would have the same penetrative power at long ranges as our lighter elongated rifle Palliser pro jectiles thrown at higher velocities. But it is some thing most essential to know that American 450- pounder smooth bore guns could certainly hull our iron-cased vessels at 100 yards, and that hence forth no English man-of-war could be laid broadside against "an American ship carrying guns of this calibre. In future the ships must be kept at an angle to each other ; and hence one would naturally deduce the conclusion that an additional reason is -thus given in favour of the fighting utility of turret-ships capable of properly training the heaviest guns all but directly fore and aft. Nor must we omit to consider possible contingencies in the application by an enemy of such powerful smooth-bore gnus, the shot from which are remarkably accurate in their flight. The 15-inch gun now at Shoeburyness is warranted proved, it is true, for only a limited number of battering charges of 601 b. But there is no doubt that the gun would fire many rounds of 701 b. of powder with very little risk. What the effect of 101 b. more powder yesterday might have been is probably that the 601 b. charge, having proved sufficient to crush in the thick armour plates, the extra 101 b. of powder would have carried the projectile completely through the wood backing. Now the American gun might certainly be fired at a risk with 100 lb. of powder, and there can be very little doubt that if the commander of a ship armed with such guns felt a reasonable convic tion, as he might do, that he could knock a 15-inch hole in the side of a 9-inch or 10-inch armour-clad enemy that he would run the risk of bursting a gun for the chance of sinking his antago nist. In the case of a bombardment, too, these 450-pounders would do great damage in throwing incendiary shells of very large capacity filled with liquid iron, or carcass shells filled with burning com position. It is further to be borne in mind that the Americans have far larger guns of the like construc tion, up to 1000-pounders. We are by no means alarmists, nor do we desire to underrate in any way the value and decided superiority 0- f our own wrought-iron rifled cannon. But it is most desir able, however, honestly to face the knowledge we have gained ; and credit is properly due to the Go vernment and the Ordnance Select Committee for these very proper practical trials of the American naval guns. We now know exactly what we have to'expect, and that in future fighting we must take every proper care of our costly ships. It should also be remembered that the American guns, if an accident happened, would undoubtedly burst explo sively, and the terrible effects produced would tend in the highest degree to demoralise the gunners ; whilst our own coiled guns give due and safe notice of weakening long before the weapon becomes absolutely dangerous, and its actual bursting is con fined to a tearing open of the material." 11IE LAW OF JOIN7'-S7OCK COMPANIES. The law relating to joint-stock companies be comes more complicated the more numerous the cases that come before the judges for decision. Not only do the different courts differ widely in their judgments from each other, in cases involving the same principles of equity, but the same judge often contradicts himself. The Money Market Review, in an article in last Saturday's number, comments on the extraordinary remarks of the Master of the Rolls in Barued's Banking Company. What Lord Romilly said iu former cases, and what Lord Romilly holds now, may be in direct contra diction, and the Money Market may have little dif ficulty in showing this, but it does not help to elucidate the law, and this we presume to be the real point aimed at. No one cares a straw what Lord Romilly thinks except the wretched people whose hard fate brings them into the Rolls Court. The decisions may make or mar the suitors, but they can have little effect in establishing points of law. To do this it is necessary to obtain the clearly expressed opinions of judges known to be sound lawyers. The judges appear to be unable to define what the true position of a joint-stock company is, and how a company is affected by the law of con tract—what commits the company, and what remedy shareholders have against fraud. A most extraordinary judgment was pronounced by Vice- Chancellor Wood, on Saturday last, in the case of " Hawkins v. Maltby." Mr. Maltby instructed his broker to purchase shares of the Imperial Mercan tile Association, which he did in the usual manner, buying from a jobber, and these shares on settling day were duly made over. The shares the jobber tendered in fulfilment of his contract were those of Mr. Hawkins, but as extensive dealings occurred at the time in that company's shires they had passed through several hands. Mr. Hawkins executed the transfer to Mr. Maltby, but in the meantime the shares had become worthless, and Mr. Maltby refused to com plete it. On the grounas of the altered condition of the property, and because the bargain was not made between the plaintiff and defendant, but be tween the plaintiff and some other person, the Judge released Mr. Maltby from his obligation. This decision strikes at the whole system of trans acting business on the Stock Exchange. It is pro bable that the case of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) will be decided before we go to press --a decision it is to be hoped which will establish some principle for the guidance of shareholders and judges in joint-stock undertakings. As the law now stands an almost unlimited amount of dishonesty and false statements is permitted to directors of joint-stock companies. A case was lately decided in the Rolls Court, in which Lord Romilly stated that no act of the chairman, directors, secretary, and manager of a company could commit that company ; that no false balance-sheets or errors in the accounts could be urged as nullifying a contract on the part of an individual against a company ; and, while allowing the case to be a hard one, he considered the law so clear against the plaintiff that he thought it unne cessary even to listen to the defence.
