By a happy provision of the British Constitution the SoVEREIGN can do no wrong. Tile Ministers are, however, generally ready to make up for that defi. ciency. We have at the present moment a beloved and popular SOVEREIGN, and we have also in the Ministerial CAbinet noble lords and right honour able gentlem en to w hom assuredly neither of these epithets can, with justice, be applied. Last night ' the House °t Com mon s received a message from her MAJESTY, m eaning, of COU TSB, her MAJESTY'S Ministers, in reply to the address on the result o' the Conference. Th at the Ministers should congra tulate themselves up on their dearly bought victor, is natural enough, and we are not disposed to quarrel with them on that account. at we must confess that we are somewhat amazed at the almost ironical assurance with which the reply has been framed by the Royal advi ser ,. «I am h a ppy," so runs the official missive ' "to be ass ured of your satisfaction at the cour se I have felt I,t to be my duty to take!' If the framer of the r ep l y assured of the satisfaction of the House of c orn _ mono by their recent proceedings, that conviction i s probably entertained by no other individual in the empire. Anything but "satisfaction" was apparent in every word that fell from every independent speaker. Those who from other considerations thought it right to vote with Ministers took care to express, their dis-satisfaction with those proceed ings T Knowing this, fully aware of this as they indubitably are, there is almost an air of effrontery or et least of a covert irony in the paragraph in wh;cla her MAJESTY'S advisers allude to the " satis faction " of the House of Commons: Our conservative contemporaries the -Herald and the Standard of this marring, contain a rather remarkable artivie, commenting in " elaahivg terms (there is really no other word for it) upon that portentous mare's nest discovered by Mr. CAVENDISH BENTINCK, the rumoured compact en tered into between the Irish Catholic Mbmbers and the chiefs of the Conserva.tive Opposition. Only that we regard this absurd canard as really too contemptible in its way for one moment's serious consideration, we should be tempted to quote the article, here referred to, in its entirety. As it is, the division list has tcaused Mr. BEN TINCK'S extravagant hallucination to melt into thin air—leaving, still vibrating as it were, upon the tympanum of our memory, a very ludicrous sense of that gentleman's noisy outburst of virtuous indignation ! There is always something of import in American affairs, something that calls for remark, or suggests comment and reflection. It is not likely that so peculiar a state of things could go on for so long a period without giving rise to strange events, and deve:oping principles and awakening fee:ings that take us by surprise who are living in a calmer state of being, and under the influence of mere equable sentiments. Besides the more striking and start. ling incidents of the war, there is continually to be met with some more peaceful change or calm alte ration which comparatively silently, but not the less surely, does its destined work and effects its purpose. The letter from Colonel MARSHAL AN DERSON exhibits symptoms of a new secession, and merits attention from all who watch the signs of the times, and take heed to the chances and dangers which are so rapidly effecting so marked a revolu tion in all the old American habits and feelings. This letter in question is an admirable one in its way, It is imbued with an earnest lova of liberty in its best and truest sense, and the writer seems deeply convinced of the mistakes that have been made by those who are confusing the shadow with the substance, and doing things in the cause, or professing to work for the cause, of that freedom which is in reality outraged by their every action. It is no matter of surprise that men of intelligence or spirit should by this time be heartily ashamed of their friends, and begin to speculate upon the advisability of pursuing a war which is so rife in spoliation and so barren in honours. In this letter Colonel ANDERSON desires to withdraw his name as a "candidate for Presidential election in the Twelfth Congressional District of Ohio," and the reasons he gives for so doing are very cogent ones. He explains that he " prefers the sanction of his own conscience to the approval of men or multi tudes," and this praiseworthy notion is well carried out in his address. In the first place, then, he declines this nomination because he is diame trically opposed to a continuance of the war, and he cannot advocate for any man who is in favour of its prosecution. Indeed, it is matter of astonishment that before this juncture, more have not been heard to exclaim in the words of Colonel ANDERSON, " I now fully realise and comprehend the meaning of the term horrida " There are many home truths in this letter which will not find much favour in the sight of the generals who have so sullied the name of soldiers, and departed from the rules of all honourable war. An example of toleration and for bearance in the midst of strife is here given in the mention of HANNIBAL, who was for thirty years is the Roman empire, in the heart of an enemy's country, but who left friends behind. Colonel ANDERSON from thence argues thit the American armies have violated the laws that they should have respected, and lays down maxims which are certainly never attended to by those now in How many sad lookers-on have aoknow- arms. ledged the want of the influence of these elevating sentiments since the commencement of the civil war. Principle should not be sacrificed to popularity, and "better suffer defeat, contending for the right and principles of freemen, than obtain success by 'rand and falsehood." The conclusion at which ,he Colonel arrives is that a Western Confederacy is now desirable. "If we cannot have our glorious old Union," he exclaims, " let us have GOD and Nature's Union. Let us follow the bright and sparkling waters of the Ohio down to the Father of Waters, to the ocean of peace. The greatest and grandest valley in the world claims us for her own ; let us acknowledge her claim." Thus does this earnest writer promulgate his views and express his convictions. There is no doubt that he will find many to join their testimony with his, and to attempt to withdraw themselves from a state of things that has become so intolerable, and also so discreditable, as the present contest and its mode of procedure. "I am tired of working for Yankee taskmasters; I hate their selfish meanness ; I am in favour of a Western Confederacy," are strong words, and are indicative of a new order of things that will not be very palatable at Washing ton. Men do not thus discourse upon pub lic matters until their minds are pretty w e ll made up by long experience of evils, and until th e i r endurance has reached a pitch beyond which it cannot go. The concluding remarks of Colonel ANDERSON on the subject of the Union are well worth notice. He says emphatically that his proposition is founded on the fact that the " original Union" is dissolved. It is time that this idea should obtain among the States, and thus operate to arrest the progress of further violence and stay the course of devastation. Not until the honest and manly sentiments of the writer of this epistle are current among the people to whom they are addressed, can we hope or expect that the horrors of a war that outrages all the best feelings cf humanity, and is here truly designated a " war of desolation on women and children" shall cease, and a better time succeed. Whether Colonel ANDERSON'S proposals are carried out or not, there is a satisfaction in meet ing with such statements, and in dwelling upon the sensible language here employed, instead of perus ing the bombastic and pretentious expressions so freely made use of by the self-deluded orators of the cause of the Union. This letter is not long, but it contains a masterly exposition of the unworthy character of the war, an earnest expression of con : fidence in the principles e real liberty, and a true explanation of the present state of things in America. Railway catastrophes seem destined to succeed one another with startling rapidity, Our railway system is indeed so extensive and so complicated that occasional disasters are not to be wondered at, and p er haps it is rather a marvel, considering the immense number of trains running daily to and fro, the ignorance or indifference of the men frequently employed in their management, and the reckless ness which repeated security brings, that we do not oftener hear of accidents. Still it is very much to be questioned whether we have attained t h e greatest degree of security to life and limb P ossib le under an improved method of locomotion, and it Ver y much concerns the public interest that who e l e a this end sho u ld b 3 reached. I t i s n ot many weeks since the ea gerness and gaiety of a f as hi on able race and week w a startling cata s t ro p he, these interrupted watched b by the ill-fated train carried to the little rura l churchyard which h e h ad the corpse of a pas sen g er passed in health and security on his pleasure trip a short week before, could hardly avoid moralising an th e r i s k s i nc idene tel to railway travelling, as well as the uncertainty of life. This lamentable disaster has scarcely ceased THE SUN, LONDON, TCESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1864 to be a subject of conversation when a new and still more appalling tragedy is apparent. There is, it is true, but one victim,but the circumstances of his death are so frightful, and appeal so forcibly to the sympathies of everyone of us, that the effect pro duced on the public mind is greater than the sen sation created by the Egham accident. An elderly gentleman, well-dressed, and wearing a massive watch and chain, enters a first-class railway car riage on a metropolitan line. His journey is but of a brief duration, merely extending from the central station in the heart of the city to a northern suburb a few miles distant, and still fully within the radius of London. The hour is not late, the line is not lonely, and the train was occupied by the usual ave rage of passengers, yet, under these circumstances of apparent security, Mr. BraGGs falls a victim to one of the most coldblooded, atrocious, and unpro voked murders on record. The only shadow of a reason which can be adduced for the crime is the sight of Mr. BRIGGS' watch and chain ; and wholly insufficient as this motive would appear to be in any case, the singularity of the case is heightened by the fact of gold having actually been left in the murdered gentleman's pockets. Whether the vi cinity of the station induced the murderer to harry over his work, whether the resistance of the sufferer prevanted his securing more than the watch and chain, or whether the whole catastrophe was the work of a madman, remains to be elucidated. We can only very fervently hope that the criminal will be brought to justice, and that the pub lic may, at least, have what security for the future can be afforded them by the detection of the crime and consEquent warning to other ruffians. For the bereaved family of the murdered gentleman there can be only one feeling of deep and general sympathy, but their efflictions brings doubly home to every household the atrocity of such a crime. In these days almost every father of a family whose business draws him to the city, fixes his home in one of the suburban districts, and one of the boasted advantages of the intrusive Metropo litan railway lines is, that rapid and easy commu• nication between such districts and the centre of the Metropolis is rendered possible. But if such a tragedy as this is to b 3 possible, if a traveller by a London line is not only to be liable to the ordinary chances of accident from collision or ex plosion, but is likewise to incur the risk of a frightful death from the hands of any ruffian who may covet his watch or chain, then the attractions of railway communication are very considerably lessened. The fact is, that by our present railway arrangements there is a very defective protection for passengers, and it is to be hoped that this melancholy affair will induce the public to insist upon some improvement. It is quite preposterous that a person should be shut in for a given number of miles, with perhaps a thief, perhaps a murderer, perhaps a madman, with no possibility of commu nicating with the driver, or even with his fellow passengers who may perchance hear screams and struggles, but are powerless to assist. Even in Ame rica, where human life is so lightly valued, and from whence we have intelligence of a terrible railway accident, things are better managed in this particu lar. Why should England, the mother of railways, be so utterly incapable of dealing with the question. Surely it is possible to establish some system of communication by which at least travellers can assist each other in waiting for the arrival at the station. There are so many eases in which it is no matter of idle fancy, but of life and death, to attract the attention of the guard or the driver that it is only surprising that railways have been suffered to exist so long without some such possibility. Fire is by no means an impossible accident, yet a person might be burned to death before assistance reached him. The simple expedient of a bell-wire run ning through the carriages would be a protection, since if it were known that help could bo obtained, half the temptation to the crime would be gone. It is not long since a desperate encounter took place with a madman, on the very same line on which the murder of Mr. BRIGGS has just occurred, and had there been only one gentleman with the lunatic, instead of two, the result would have been the same. Can English ingenuity devise no means of solving so simple a problem? Our railway companies had better make the experiment, for they are in a man. ner responsible for the lives and limbs of their pas sengers, and they may be assured that the public will not be satisfied with the existing state of things, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. I X, Drouyn De Lhuys upon the Danish Question, AMERICA. REUTER'S EXPRESS. RESIGNATION OF MR, CHASE, LIVERPOOL, JULY 12. A telegram received here from New York by the St. Georgia via Newfoundland announces the re signation of Mr. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury. FRANKFORT.ON.THE-MAINE, June 10. The following is a correct summary of the circular despatch addressed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the diplomatic agents of the Emperor upon the 28th of June. The despatch treats of the labours of the Landon Conference and of the resumption of hosti lities. After the statement that " the Plenipotentiaries who met at London to re-establish peace between Germany and Denmark separated, after having c mfirmed the inutility of their efforts, and the bel ligerent parties immediately resumed arms," M. Drouyn de Lhuys "sensibly regrets that the labours of the Conference have not had a more satisfactory result," and he avails himself of this very opportune 'Decision to recall " that it has not been the fault of France that the conclusion was not different." The despatch then continues,— " We have not shut our eyes to the difficulties which this negotiation presented. Thus, before its commencement we had used every effort to obtain the meeting of the Conference upon the fittest ~ „,n . 1 ditions to facilitate its task. We had `.specially desired that a real armistice should .oe previously concluded for the entire durati'en of the delibera tions, and that the basis P , c e discussion should be determined in advance,. Th e parties have been unable to agree upr en these two points, and although this first diffic-dity inspired us at the outset with doubts as t% the issue of the Conference, we have none t`..te less sincerely seconded this effort at oonc:Liiation. The Plenipotentiary of the Emperor - was, consequently, desired to support or to suggest every proposition 'which appeared likely to bring about an agreement. The point of departure of the discussion was naturally, first of all, to be sought in the arrangements of 1852. We asked ourselves, therefore, first, whether, if re. modelled so as to attain their object better, they might not be made the basis of an equitable arrange ment, and it was in this sense that the repreeentas tive of France expressed himself at the opening of the negotiations. When, after recognition of the impossibility of keeping the discussion upon this ground, the English Government proposed an ar rangement giving the southern portion of Schleswig to Holstein as well as Lauenburg, we did not hesi tate to agree to this combination. It had in our eyes the advantage sei taking into account the national sentime:2t of the German population of Schleswig, 'Ad of leaving to Holstein—increased by this arseexation—the right of deciding upon its own fa'e. While lending our support to the English Plenipotentiaries, we acted in perfect conformity with the principles of our public law, and we should have been rejoiced at an arrangement which appeared to us acceptable to both parties. The German Powers did not consider themselves able to adhere to it. They claimed for the frontier a line of demarcation which would have assured to Ger many the possession of the mixed districts, while Denmark persisted in not adding this fresh sacri fice to those she had consented to make in abandon ing Southern Schleswig, as well as Holstein and Lauenburg. While all the other combinations put forward were thrown aside we suggested a last plan, We recommended that the populations forming the' subject of dispute should be called upon to express their sentiments, and thus furnish the Conference with the necessary data for tracing the line of de marcation in the most equitable manner. We have not been able to prevent the rupture of negotiations, and the difference is again left to be decided by arms." The despatch concludes es follows : "Opinion has shown itself sensibly moved by the resumption of hostilities, and looks with disquiet to the consequences so unequal a contest may entail. For our ;art, we shall be unable to disregard the bea;ln g of events so directly affecting the interests of all the maritime Powers in the North, and even those of the equilibrium of this portion of Europe. We entertain the sincerest wishes that the dangers may be avoided which these events might bring about; and, guided by the same sentiments which have hitherto proved the rule of our conduct, and desiring to maintain the impartial attitude we have taken up, we are willing to hope that no eoroplica tiou will arise of so grave a nature as to necessitate our embracing a difl;•rent policy."

A communication f HANO'r it- R. Indepencl ance of Br assels, says •-_<` It is well kn own that the Stat es of 1857, elec ted under the influence of the rein Han over o f the 4th in the reactionary Cabinet of M. d e Berries, voted a new ct, apter of finance intended to resto re to the ancient Crown its independenceFor and di g nity' that object th e c i v i l list was suppressed and the greatest part o f t h e domains re restoi•ed to the we Crown without any control being reserve d t o the States. Since th a t t i me, the separat i on o f the domains h as constantly been the pp o bject of the attacks of the Liberal nPposition. The calcula tion- has b een ma d e t h at the revenues of the txceeded separated domains h ave by nearly 300,000 th a l e r s p er annum the es timate of the committee of 1857. The d i r e c tor of the ad ministration of the separated domains, has, it is true, disputed that catent st i o „,, but i n a pamphlet written on the subject he has been obliged to confess that the separation had Caused a loss to the Treasury of nearly 120,00 Q thalers a year ; only he has not admitted that su c h . - "re was large enough to again light up the fire ee constitutional discord. Even the Conservatives w h o, in princ iple, rZefknd the se paration of the domains, do not d e ny that th 9 law of 1857 bears the imp r i nt o f the ultra reactionary spirit of the period i. - 0 which it owes its existence. Nevertheless the ; -am .inrity of the financial toMmittee of the present States is oo.ed to a n y p ro p osition tending to a revi s i on of t h e e napter of finance. The minority of the c ommittee gm. de Bennigson, Miguel, and Gru ln ' drecht wou ld have thought they failed in their duty if they had passed the question ° p er i n a moderate proposi silence. Ia tion, they , recommended the States to exact that the separation of the domains should be revoked, or that at least the law of 1857 should be modified in order that the country mi g h t be saved from considerable losses. The Ministers declared that the adoption of that proposition would be an attack on the exis tence of the present Cabinet, and that statement made more than one deputy d ra w back. Nevertheless, after a very animated discussion, the proposition was approved of by 47 votes to 28. In the Chamber of Nobles, only five or s i x mem bers spoke in favour of the motion, but no one wished to sanction the terms of it, and it Was rejected unanimously. There ib reason to foresee that this conflict will not be arranged. But, if this vote of the Chamber of Deputies not le ad to a does pro mpt result, it will at ; least exercise its moral effect."

(No. 157) Downing-street, Juno 23, 1864, Sir,-- It was a source of sincere satisfaction to me to re• ceive from Acting-Governor Hackett by this mail the an nouncement that you were on board her Majesty's ship Rattlesnake at Lagos, and, though still unable to write, were convalescext. I shall be glad to learn from yourself that you have been completely restored to health, and have been enabled to return to your Government at Cape Coast Castle. I cannot, however, but feel very doubtful whether your recovery may have been so rapid and so decided as to make this possible; and I have therefore thought it right to ad dress this despatch under cover to Acting Governor Hackett and to make the necessary provision for a successor in case of his being disabled by illness during your continued absence by sending to Lieut.-Colonel Conran a commission from her Majesty for that purpose. If you have been able to resume your duties, you wil have received my despatch of May 23, addressed to Acting Governor Hackett, and will be aware of the instructions which, under the urgent and peculiar circumstances of the case, I feel it to be my duty to convey to him on the part of her Majesty's Government for providing tor the health and comfort of her Majesty's forces on the Gold Coast. In that despatch I expressed the hope which her Ma jesty's Government entertain that "the display of forces made during the last few months will not have been with out its due effect, both on the Ashantee enemy and on the friendly native chiefs, and that the cessation of the rains may not bring with it the necessity for a renewal of warlike preparations on your part to defend yourself or the friendly native population from wanton attack. It is, however, necessary to consider the possibility that a very opposite state of things may present itself to you at the close of the rainy season. The unfortunate circumstances of the present year may encourage the Ashantees in the design they appear to have entertained of renewing their invasion when the season for military operations shall return. I think it right therefore to convey to you the general views of her Majesty's Government upon the measures which, in concert with the officer commanding the forces, you should take to provide against that danger. The duty of defending the extensive territory included in the Protectorate can only be satisfactorily discharged if the chiefs to whom it belongs are united and resolute in their own defence. If they are not united, and will not take upon themselves the principal part of the exertions necessary, it will not be possible to defend them without exposing the Queen's forces to the risk of a deadly climete, and to the hazard of being virtually defeated by the disastrous conse quences of that climate, before they have been able to brine' the native enemy to the issue of arms. The proper dotittU therefore It to take every possible means for bringing the chiefs to an united ALI decided system of defence, and for this purpose to give them advice, to supply them jUdiciottsly with military stores, and in concert with the officer in command of the forces to furnish them with such assistance as he may be able to afford, without expos ing his officers and Men to any protracted residence in the interior, especially at the unhealthy season, and without weakening his force Upon the coast so as to endanger the safety of the settlements themselves. I must repeat the caution which I conveyed to you in my despatch of the 23d ult.—that you should avoid, if it be iu your power, the ne cessity of bringing to the settlement a number of the Queen's troops too great to be properly accommodated on the coast, Instructions to the same effect will be sent by the Secretary of State for War to Lieutenant-Colonel Conran, and I shall request the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty to direct the attention of the commodore on the sta tion to the possibility that you may find yourself again en gaged in measures of defence against an invasion by the King of Ashantee. Since, however, the experience of the past year has exhibited in so strong a light the great diffi culties which attended operations on the part of her Ma jesty's forces, I rely cn your using every exertion to avoid a renewal of the war, You have already received from the Duke of Newcastle the full expression of his approval of your conduct in respect of the origin of the late war—l mean your refusal to surrender to a cruel death the two refugees demanded by the King of Aehantee -, but that ap proval I now desire to repeat ; and I take the opportunity of impressing upon you the great importance of your being clearly in the right in any case of difference which may hereafter arise. I trust that you will be careful to assure yourself that you are acquainted, as far as possible, with all the circumstances that may he alleged on either side, and that you will not permit yourself to become involved in any hostile operations until you shall have fir,st exhausted every legitimate means of preserving peace.—l have, &c., EpweenD CARDWELL.

By Albert Smith. One Volume, Illustrated. IV. Tegg. In the form of this capital reprint of the work, as a single volume, with All the famous old comical etchings by John Leech —Mr. Tegg has here placed within reach of the general public, Albert Smith's cleverest and funniest fiction, to' wit Christopher Tadpole. Here they all are—those ridiculous incidents and fantastic personages—as ridiculous and as fantastic as any of the scenes and people jumbled together in the harlequinade of a Christmas pan tomime. The drollery is just as broad, as extrava gant, as noisy, as riotous, as that familiar to us in the harlegainetde ! Reading Christopher Tad- Pie; it is ptecisely as though we were watching the absurd doings of that scapegrace of a clown with the chalk-whitened and vermillion-coloured cheeks—aided and abetted as he is by that hoary old sinner of a pantaloon, who always comes in for more ',Kicks than halfpence, and for more drubbings '.:_ran small change of any kind whatsoever. It is as if we followed their fortunes anew—now when greasing the doorstep of an irritable shop keeper—now whe❑ brandishing a red hot poker in pursuit of some of those ridiculous people who come on (generally arm in arm) for the express purpose of being thus pursued within one inch of their lives, or otherwise generally maltreated. The " life" is just es real—the " fun" as fast and furious —here in Albert Smith's chapters, es there before the winter footlights. Who that has read our poor dead and gone Jokemaster's narrative of the Life and Adventures of Christopher Tadpole—who that has ever glanced at John Leech's drawings in illus. tration of that narrative—but remembers (pretty nearly always upon the broad grin) the sayings and doings of the Sprouts, of the Gudges, of the Mick guard young baronet, of the good-natured and philosophic itinerant showman, of Mrs. Gudge's ascent of Mont Blanc, and of Mr. Gudge's laudable eagerness, when on the shores of the Adriatic, to discourse about " the celebrated Dodge of Venice," et cetera! Those who care to read Albert Smith at his best, can hardly do better than provide them selves, to that end, with this very edition of hie Christopher Tadpole, a story floating conspicuously among the most radiant hubbies of the like kind east up among contemporary specimens of the lightest of light literature. Barbara Rome. By Margaret Blount. 3 vols. Maxwell. The early chapters of this story induced us to form favourable expectations, which a further peru• sal very speedily dispelled. Barbara home is a poor girl educated above her station by the mistaken kindness of a charitable lady. As a first step in her career of gentility, Barbara gives up a humble lover, who dies of grief. The scene at his death bed is very powerfully sketched, and testifies the ability of the writer—an ability in this instance thrown away upon worthless materials. The story of B...rbara possesses the worst characteristics of the sensational school. It is utterly regardless of pro• priety and of probability. The scene in which Bar bara having been deserted byher faithless" Captain," pays a visit to Mrs. Dame, and plotting revenge, dresses herself with elegance and hums a tune, and partakes of a luxurious breakfast, is about as ludicrous and improbable as is the grand poisoning scene at the finale which ends amid the blue lights of the melodrama. THE DEATH OF THE CELEBRATED TRAVELLER AND NATURALIST JUNGHIJIIN, well known by his curious and important labours in the field of botany and ethnography, is announced. He started in life as a sur geon in the Prussian army. Condemned, in consequence of a duel, to be imprisoned for 20 years, he escaped after a few months, and became, first, a sanitary officer in the French army in Algiers. He then entered, in the same capacity, the Datch service in Sonda, where he had col lected a vast quantity of materials for scientific works. He died at the age of 62 years. A letter from Archangel of the 22d June says : " Trade is very active here, and the wind having been favourable, a large number of vessels have arrived. A forest of masts cover the whole port. The first 'ship that reached us was a Danish schooner from Liverpool in 30 days. More than 100 foreign ships have since entered the port. From the North D wine, above 800 small vessels have come in, among the number being five steamers, of which two belong to the monastery of Salovetzky ; they convey a large number of pilgrims to visit the old convent, which has played so great a part in the war." The Monitcur publishes an Imperial decree pre scribing the publication of the arrangement signed on the 24th ult. between France and Italy, for regulating the quarantine measures in the Preach and Italian ports in the Mediterranean. Another decree creates for holders of 3 per cent. rente nominative titles, provided with coupons of interest payable to bearer. Those titles will be exchanged for inscriptions to bearer when applied for. The Second Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, in its last sitting, discussed the question of the reconstitution of the Zollverein on the basis of the Franco-Prussian Treaty of Commerce, when 35 votes to 5 were given in favour of the adhesion to the treaty and of the maintenance of the Zollverein. The following motion was afterwards brought forward---" There is reason to re gret the hesitation of the Government and the injury which has been already caused by it to the country," which was voted by 30 to 10. TRADE OF CARDIFF.—During the month of June 111,824 tons of coal, 15,418 tons of iron, 1,733 tons of patent fuel, and 1,7,1'6 tons of coke were exported, against 106,996 tons of coal and 15,000 tons of iron in the previous month, being en increase of nearly 5,000 tons of coal and 418 tons of iron, The slight increase is attributed princi pally to the reopening of the West Bute Dock for traffic. The total number of ships engaged in the foreign trade was 348, being an increase of 65 on the previous month. The West India Islands, as usual, took the largest quantity of coal, no less than 21,013 tons having been cleared for the West India ports. The East Indies and China took 7,521 tons, Italy 13,163 tons, Spain 16,319 tons, France 12,849 tons, the English colonies 8,471 tons, Egypt and North Africa 6,945 tons, South America 5,763 tons, and North America 2,298 tons. A large coasting trade was also done during the month, and the imports are gradually in creasing. VILLAGE MAY MEETINGS,--There is a crowd outside and in the house. The band is thumping its big drum, and rending the air with its screams of - agony in polka measure. The flags of the order are unfurled. The treasurers carry their wands, and v, ear their decora tions. The farm labourer who is a member of this club, appears with his brother members in a blue and white cot ton band over one shoulder, tie:: in a bunch of red ribbon under the other ; and the procession starts for church. In church, the regalia, as the trumpery is designated, is placed in a conspicuous position ; it was once put upon the com munion-table, Morning Prayer is read by the curate, fol lowed by a sermon from the rector, who always receives, and generally accepts the invitation to dinner. Far be it from our purpose to write one word tending to lessen good influence among the rural poor. The sermon will be on the duty of bearing one another's burdens, of the strong help ing the weak, or chat ity and brotherly kindness will have been enforced, and so far well ; but we must not forget that the clergyman's assistance upon such occasions is, in the eyes of the members of the club, a visible sigh that their :claeme has the approval of the Church.—Dickens' "All the Tor Round." LONDON PAST AND PRESENT. —A man need not be greyheade; l to remember London in the days of hackney-coaches, (ejl•lamps, and Charlies.

Then you might see about ono in every five minutes au old-fashioned, etuffy,and creaky htinkney - coach p Ached high aloft, daeprously weak in the spring: : and jolting over the nw ith a heavy and sWaying motion very perilous at; the said coach driven by a dilapi datedspteooss of evenC h eatpos lookicl , e Jarvis, wearing a smashed bat and a drab great coat with innamerable capes, and drawn by two shambling, crook-kneed, broken-winded, spavined horses, high in the bone and low in the flanks, and trotting stiffly, like wooden aUfotaata badly put together. You might b ee shops, too, with Jaw, greenish looking glass windows, not kept too clean, exhibiting few goods for show, and having no prices ticketed; pavements sloppy with mud in winter and dusty in summer; and in the evening an artificial illumination, maintained with little, round bottomed lamps, holding a vase for oil, and giving a sickly, yellow light, the smoky and flickering glimmer of which once suggested that the Russians who escorted the Czar to this country had been indulging in a surreptitious banquet from the contents of the vase. Should you be lying awake at night, you might hear a cry of " Stop thief I " or "Murder 1" issuing from the dark corner opposite your house, followed by a quick pair of heels down. the street, and the clatter of a rattle ; or if quiet reigned, and you were wondering what time it might be, your ears were gratified with the information from ancient Charlie, who, as he stumped past your door, chimed " Half-past 12 o'clock I "—City Press, Persons in debt may obtain instant protection against imprisonment or seizure of their goods, and an entire release from all debts and liabilities without publicity, by application to Messrs.

Precisely at four o'clock the special started h°°° the station (the lowering of the standard on th e round tower announcing the fact of the Queen' s departure) on its way, under the charge of Messrs.
