Truth, at last, is making itself heard in high places. Not from without—not in the thundering accents of popular revolution, but from within—from within the sacred precincts of royalty, in the still small voice of conscience-stricken conviction, comes to-day the doctrine of reform and the promulga tion of popular rights. Magna est veritas, says the adage. We have only to wait, and truth must and will be triumphant. It is a triumph, to- day, to those who, like ourselves, have so long and so strenuously preached those popular doctrines to witness the steady and rapid progress of their diffusion even in quarters th e least to be expected. What says the King of BAVARIA in his recent address to the Emperor of AusTniA ? The King of BAVARIA, a Sovereign himself, speaking in the name of an assembled con gress of Sovereigns, Princes and Potentates of the proud G erman race, and add ress i ng hi s words to the mi ty Kaiser, the d es p o ti c h ead of imperial Austria, the King of BAVARIA declares, in the name of all these Princes, and the Emperor to whom he speaks cordially agrees with him—" We DO longer misunderstand that the basis (of the constitution) needs to be developed agreeably to the spirit of the age, and especially by the organic introduction of a representation of the various Peoples." Is not this a step in advance ? A Congress of Sovereigns take into consideration a representation of liloples ! They recognise the existence—th© morel existence—of such bodies• Not merely as " hewers of wood and drawers of water"—not merely to labour and sow, to toil and to be taxed, but—to be represented! The King of BAVARIA is wise in his generation, but the chief merit of his wisdom is due, no doubt, to a greater and a yet wiser potentate—the Emperor of AUSTRIA. He it is who, with a true prescience, has under stood the exigency of the hour. He has recognised at once the Danger, the Difficulty, and the Oppor tunity of his position, and, like a skilful gene ral, availing himself of the Opportunity, has set both Danger and Difficulty at defiance. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has struck the key-note to which his brother Princes have wiselji—how wisely !—hastened to respond. Hence the liberal declaration of the King of BAVARIA, who, in the comae of hit discourse alludes more than once to " the spirit of the age," and the desire of the Princes to conform to it. Had such an appreciation of a great truth dawned upon the benighted minds of CHARLES I. and Louis XVI., the STUARTS might have gone to their graves Kings of England, and the BOUR BONS at this day might have been reigning still in France. Every rule, of course, must have its exception, every otherwise unanimous body must have its dissentient unit. The Happy Family of prudent Sovereigns have one foolish and refrac• tory Brother. The King of PRUSSIA is acting on the principle of the naughty boy who sulks in the corner and "will not" take part in the general joy , The punishment falls where, obviously, it is justly due, on himself and on himself alone ! So be it. The liberal and enlightened Sovereigns of Germany, from a mistaken and exaggerated courtesy, had in. vited the illiberal and unenlightened King 01 I'RUSSIA to take paA in their deliberations. The King of PRUSSIA knew better. What should he do in such an assembly ? We ehould say to the other Sovereigns, as we would say to the friends of the refractory youth above-mentioned, who wish to Conciliate and coax him from his corner—" Leave ...„. __- him alone; he knows his .. right .. place. Let him abi de by his own wise decision, and—take the conse quences 1,. The deliberations of the other Princes will b e deserra Watched with a very g en era l and well ,,lnterest in this country. "Th e end we aim at, the King of BAVARIA, " is c l ear ly Bay before our : 8 to it are nut el, although th e p a th s w hi c h conduct from us." yet T eprepared, and are i n p ar t concea l e d , however, is before them—the development s3t tll ;: o nstitution in accordance with the spirit of the a tared upon by thehe desi gn so daringly adven- FRANCIS JOSEPH i In peror of AU STRIA .

ROEBUCK. He was among the first to reco gnise those liberal indications on the part ut th e Raiser anti, like all men who are beforehand with an ' y ---1 dis. covery or innovation, he met only with obloquy and i ncre dulities. He is now to a csrtain extent justi fied, and we trust that the future deliberati ons and resolutions of the Congress will yet further gua. rantea and yet further justify his hopes and ox. pectations. " Let us engage in the work with calmness and firmness," says the prudent King of BAVARIA, " with a sincere and honest will ; then the benediction of the all• Powerful will be with us, and will crown our labours," to which aspiration the Liberals of England will very fervently and unanimously respond—Amen ! It is often easier to work an important change than to rectify a mistake, easier to introduce e startling innovation than to retrace the steps which have been taken on the supposed road to reform. Mtn will generally prefer to go A very long way round to taking the short and simple path ba ck again, which they have just traversed, thinnin g they were making rapid progress. It is therefore an unusual, as well as satisfactory event, to find the Westminster Board of Works so frankly and so promptly admitting the error into which they have been led, and so readily taking measures t o put matters right again. The outlines of the woe are familiar to the public, and it is undoubtedly one of great hardship. For many years past an array of stall and truck-keepers have been tolere,ed in the Broadway, Westminster, and severe.l adjacent parts, as they are in Tottenham-cor4rt-road, the New Cut, Clare-street, Camden-toNen, Islington, and countless other places. Some -of these stalls were, it seems, regarded as family possessions, and in any case the owner's right to Ids stand and his stall was unquestioned by any competitor. Many of the occupants have held their posts for more than 30 years, some of them being aged persons, who would naturally be unfit for any other employment. A regular al fresco market was thus carried on, the activity of which any one may guess who has ever passed through such a locality on a Saturday even ing. It needs the pen of a DICKENS to depict The withre. sufficient vivacity its busy and stirring life. s g e u e l m a r ,n oj tradesmen obeet o i of nto h the n neighbourhood o urh supernumeraryood pur veyors, r t w veynoort clash. s,an A totally d d it is indeedproiffbaebrelentt class tatshs wouldeirintersetsotps do at a street-stall, attracted by the cry iv gs for a penny" from the customerswh of o choose w efrom t lh an at d t g h r e e e m t yt the t e e r p i o a bunch s u s s erae a s t s onions s le ot the e cabbages g a e n r d s every corner of thefonont,op:tth,h, w , s with not thea y s e s r u y ik ra l nc e e ly th t a o t each is " the last pe prove dangerous rivals of the regular supply. The system, although it undouttedly has its drawbacks, fills a vacancy in our social life. It supports one class and provides for another. It is indisputably the market of the poor, and buyers and sellers, who are all of the lower working order, would be heavy losers by its suppression. It supplies the means o regular and honest living to hundreds of poor hard. working persons, who have probably neither expe rience, ability, nor, above all, capital enough to em bark on a larger scale. Oar sources of employment are not so many, nor is our labour market so ill sup plied, that we should lightly talk of closing one honest and useful means of getting a livelihood, and the amount of distress, suffering, and indignation caused in Westminster by the recent order for the removal of the street stalls in the district may be readily imagined. Acting, no doubt, from a mis taken wish to preserve public order and consult the general convenience, the members of the Board of Works passed a resolution at the close of last month approving the report of their committee with reference to obstructions on the footways and car riage -ways. Upon the passing of this resolution, the Chief Commissioner of Police caused the stalls to be removed, and loud were the lamentations of the poor ruined stallkeepers. Who originated the matter in the first instance we cannot say, but the general impression on the part of the tradesmen whether the result of deliberate conviction or of ,emporary compassion, appears to be in favour of the maintenance of the old customs. How the dis placed vendors have occupied or supported them selves since the arbitrary decree that broke up their ancient privilege we know not, but their time of trouble has only been of short duration. Moved by the distress and excitement felt throughout the district, some of the residents in the neighbour hood took up the matter and exerted themselves to obtain the rescinding of the proceedings. A body was formed which was styled the Street Stall Com mittee, which has been actively engaged in the movement. On Alonelay last a meeting of more than a thousand persons assembled at the Temper ance Hall, Westminster, Cat which the committee reported their proceedings, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon the District Board of Works and present a memorial asking for the return of the stalls. In presenting this memorial, which was numerously signed, the secretary to the committee pointed out the hardship of the case, showing that 45 families, numbering 300 persons, had been sud denly thrown out of employment by the withdrawal of a privilege which the costermongers had en joyed for the last 60 years. A licensed victualler in the Broadway, who was also a member of the deputation, testified, on the strength of 31 years' experience, to the utility and practical service of the street market to the families of the poor. An other tradesman, residing in Great Chapel-street, gave satisfactory evidence as to the general feeling of the locality; for he affirmed that having can vassed the neighbourhood for signatures to the me morial, he had only met with three refusals. Other respectab",e shopkeepers expressed themselves strongly in support of the memorial, and the de putation withdrew. The members of the Board thereupon, with a candour and readiness that does them honour, at once admitted that they had made a mistake, and proceeded promptly to rectify it. Having, of course, no personal interest in the mat ter, they had only endeavoured to carry out what they believed to be for the general good ; but on finding that the proceedings they had taken were totally at variance with the feeling of the district, and were the cause of much suffering to an honest and industrious class of persons, they immediately revoked the obnoxious resolution, and carried a motion for the reinstatement of the stalls. Mr. WHITE, of P arliament -street, the original mover of the resolution, alone re tained his opinion unchanged, but as he did not vote, not being ambitions of so isolated a dignity, this solitary exception did not mar the unanimity ' with which the motion was carried. So that the inhabitants of the Broadway and Chapel-street will soon see the busy line of truck s fringing their thoroughfares as of old, and the little community, who probably regard their ancient positions with as much pride and jealousy as the claimants to larger domains, will hasten to repossess themselves of the old time-honoured haunts. No sooner w as alter_ the good news wafted abroad thanif by h magic , undred a sof the r - poor, we are told, assembled as , nately congratulating eachother,ancl bletshseinirg joy, the authors of the change, and expressing we may be sure, in sufficiently demonstrative fashion. We are heartily glad that the affair has terminated so satisfactorily, and we hope it will be a caution to well-disposed but officious reformers to pause before they interfere too lightly with the resources of humble industry. The employment and decent maintenance of several hundred fami lies is no light thing in this busy metropolis, where want is so often the guide to crime, and the sup pression of any means of earning an honest liveli hood cannot be looked upon by the political eco nomist, other uenc e thanthat a 0 8 1:r e: any less i t oury footways is of I s e h s s o l o a n conse quence• obstruction t carriage roads should be free from clear from mendicants an :a:eh:l:h.:a:by the humanitarian, as an d thieves, and a little outer decorum gai ne d i n bY an increas e i n t h e o ur thoro ug hf ares would be sadly comp ounded for due to thi s already overwhelming numbers of ou r cr i minal and destitute population.

In this expectation, however, her Majesty's Government are disappointed; for it would appear from the representation of Messrs. Tootal, Broadhurst, and Co., 'which accompanies your despatch of the 22d ult., that the interference of the United States authorities with this trade is still persisted in, and I have accordingly to instruct you to address a fresh remonstrance on this subject to the United States Govern- ment—l am, &c,, " RUSSELL." How is all this to end ? Can Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet expect that any serious attention will be paid to remonstrances only. Remonstrances can alone have weight with such men as ABRAHAM LINCOLN and Mr. SEWARD when there is a pressure behind. This was forcibly demonstrated by the affair of the Trent. Would the Southern delegates have been released if ten thousand soldiers had not, as it were, crushed through the ice into Canada, and an English fleet been in readiness to threaten New York, Boston, and Portland. This was a lesson to American politicians; they found that their overweening conceit had overrated England's endurance, and underrated the promptness for action when there was no help for it, or rather when the people felt the insult, and the Ministers were forced to resent it. Mr. LINCOLN has taken the hint and profited by it ; he found it necessary to give way at the time, and did so at the expense of the agent, the notorious Captain WILKES, who was declared to have acted without instructions. For all this he was at once elevated to the dignity of Commodore. Since then a more crafty policy has been followed, a sharp practice has been softened down by smooth words, and while diplomatists are arguing, American custom-house officers are die- tating to English merchants what they may and What they may not ship, and Fede- ral cruisers are overhauling any West In dian trader that they can catch. It is not to be expected that this can last. Mr. LINCOLN is playing a desperate game ; but then desperation gives him courage. So long as he can befool Eng land, he may hold his own and trust to the doctrine of chances, Let that doctrine be what it may for America, North or South, it is high time that Eng land should bo trifled with no longer. Let Earl - --- RUSSELL be deaf to all unnecessary verbal remou strances, and plainly let it be understood that Eng land will have her rights respected, and that these be wantonly infringed, her next remon strance will come from the cannon's mouth. PRINCESS'S THEATRE, THE SUMMER SEASON. This theatre was reopened for th e a b ove purpose on t Saturday a company co enyvcniugby Mr. Walt er M ontgomery selected from various of the Lou don houses. The entertainments consisted of the "Merchant of Venice" and the drama of " Lavater," in both of which Mr. Montgomery appeared, giving a most vigorous impersonation of the Jew in the first place, and of the Swiss philosopher in the second. He was very warmly received and applauded, and was ably supported in the play by the Portia of Miss Atkinson, which was a genuine perform ance. We are happy to add that the house was well filled. To-morrow evening Mr. Montgomery a Othello, and on Thursday King John.

In the former the number of prisoners confined for debt on the 21st was 20; of these 10 were included in the gaoler's return made on the Ist of the month, and of these three were adjudicated bankrupts and released; the others, either as bankrupts who had been remanded, or who had not been sufficient time in prison, were not dealt with. At Whitecross-street the number of prisoners for debt confined on the 21st was 104, many of these being County Court commitments ; the number re turned by the gaoler on the let of the month as coming within the jurisdiction of the Registrar was 26. Of these 11 were adjudicated bankrupt and released; the remainder were not dealt with because the debtors had not been in prison sufficient time, or were abaut to make arrangements with their creditors. These details may lead to the infer ence that a system of friendly arrests as a preliminary to pauper bankruptcy is still very popular. Although the number of debt ors i n pr i son prior to October, 1861, was large, the number is not so materially as e dimi •h d might diminished have been expected, there being a continual intiu o f new corners, tained for them the hearty thanks of their humble Vox et preterea nihil should certainly be the motto of the noble lord who presides over our foreign policy, and perhaps more justly of the administra tion which he represents in that department. That Earl RUSSELL means well, we do not doubt, and in deed in some cases, such as the late controversy with the Brazilian Government, he has proved himself ready to vindicate the rights of his country with the sword as well as the pen. It is true that, in such cases, there is no danger of war, and by taking matters with a high hand a satisfactory result will generally follow. It would naturally be supposed that the same decisive line of action would have been taken in regard to the conduct of a powerful State that has not like others sinned against England, by misadventure, or through the ignorance or over zealousness of its agents, but one which glories in the violation of international laws. The dignity of the empire demands anstdak etth,haekt know wr weak.statesmen difference should o lbueeltdt between glance al impartially, and, when th e h onour and interest of Englandi at the voluminous correspo n d ence w hi ch t h t hhaees Unitedmigh ty been at Statescarried on Governmentbetween on Earl R t he us sci uesti E a o n n d , whether the United States Government shalt violate the law of nations regarding neutrals, and empower Custom -house agents at New York, by the zpse dixit of the Dictator, to stay British s v i vesselst o from m s l e i a n v ingthat the E n g I p i s o h r t e o w l o i n t e s c cargoes e if s cpoen r. mitted to sail, requiring them to enter into an undertaking that such cargoes shall not in any wise fall into the hands of the Confederates. Earl RUSSELL denies the right of Mr. LIN COLN to act in such a manner. He admits frankly that the United States Government has a right to forbid the export of any article from+ its ports which necessity or prudence may requite but he distinctly declares that it is unjust to make an exceptional case of English vessels. One would have thought that this ought to have been enough to show the Washington Cabinet the folly of the act, and to have brought them to reason; No such thing. More than a year has passed over since these wrongs were first complained of, and British trade between New York and the Bahamas is much in jured.

Yesterday morn i ng the labours of the C ongress were resumed, accord i ng to the programme , by the separate meetings o f t h e sect i ons ; an d, to endeavour to see som et hi ng of them beyond the s th, which had hithert o engrossed my attent i on , an d h a d l e d me to visit i t a second time from t h e i nteres t th e first meeting had provoked, I went up to the hall in which the 4th or Fine Art section met. It was holding its third and last meeting, and had got be yond all the strictly artistic part of its programme, to discuss q uest i ons of literature , w hich had some how or oth er b een set down to i t , un der the r espec tive headi ngs of historical works and novels. With regard t o novels, w hich, from their attrac tive natur e , may be made very use f u l to mora li ty, it was deemed that all discussion and controversy should be excluded from such works, as not being authoritative. One of the members called the attention of the section to the class of novels that may be called historical; and, taking as models those of Fabiola and Calista, as contrasted with French and Italian works of the same kind, ex pressed a wish that those who so attractively weave together history and fiction for the instruction of many, should more carefully note and distinguish for their readers what i s fact and what is fiction. Art critici sm was a l so di sc ussed; and as the sth section had d ec id e d on the publication of an inter national journal, it was suggested that, practically, a great desideratum in criticism could be attained, namely, an international criticism. At three o'clock the u sual general meeting began members of the ee, England and Poland, Spai n , central eryen Ireland, onominationerm committeeany f o : f r c s o lw r At r id e tmiz s y p ee,rr o liF n ac d anr a.

The former of these was made the text, or rather the pretext, of a speech by a Parisian lawyer who left us rather Church confused in our notions. The latter w as rea d b y a Belgian in a sensible manner.

A report from the 2d section, on the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in Belgium, was then read in a rather plain-chant tone, and afforded us the pleas ing information that no less than 15,674 poor families are relieved Weekly by the society in Be gium. Mgr. Nardi, auditor of the Supreme Court of Rata in Rome, and the Signori Alberi, of Florence, and Casoni, of Bologna, successively addressed the meeting on the present state of the Catholics of Italy. Mgr. Nardi noticed especially the noble efforts of the Catholic press, as represented by the Azmonia of Turin, and the Eco of Bologna, the latter of which has already been condemned by the Piedmontese to thirty-five sequestrations, 17 years of imprison ment for its editor, and £3,000 fine, and yet sends weekly to the St Peter's Pence Associotion a sum of 400 francs. He alluded to the triumphs of the Church in the sufferings of its bishops exiled and imprisoned in Italy. He spoke of having eight days before taken leave of the Holy Father, who had expressed to him the hopes he grounded on the Mechlin Congress. He mentioned also that the Catholics of Rome bad already subscribed more than a million of francs to the St. Peter's Pence, which the Pope wanted to refuse, but they had claimed to be treated in the same manner as ether Catholics, and to be allowed to contribute to relieve their Father from all threatened embarrassment and dependence. Mgr. Nardi concluded by announcing that on his return to Rome in a few days, his first act would be to ask the Holy Father's blessing for all the m em b ers of the Congress and for the country in which th ey h ad met, that it might ever be free, glorious, an d h appy. Signor Alberi, i n t h e course o f a most sp i r i te d address, expressed his feeling that the programme of a free Church in a free State had been applied to Italy in a manner to deride at once free. dom, the Church, and common sense. He described also the system of conscription and of loans and taxations, as it was now carried on by the Pied montese, as calculated to absorb the whole of the public strength of Italy. Signor Casoni, a remarkably fine looking man of thirty, kept the assembly delighted by his address, i n Which he described the Catholics of Italy as EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1863. Somewhat unfortunately, after this the rigour of the programme imposed on Count Toucher de Cureil the duty of delivering, and on us of listening to, a rather clever speech on the fraternal spirit of nations among themselves, and on the strength of real national feeling, as evidenced by Poland. having to sustain the attack and shock of the Whole of the enemies of the Church throughout the world, and as being now in a state of persecution to the extent of having no less than 1,200 monasteries destroyed, 6,000 religious and nuns turned out penniless from their homes, and 50 bishops impri soned or exiled. During the address of Signor Alberi, the ap plause and rising of the whole assembly had greeted the entre nce of the eloquent champion of Catholic rights, the Count de Montalembert. At the end of Signor Catoni's discourse the proceedings were suspended for half an hour, at the termination of which they were resumed, the meeting becoming a public meeting, at which ladies and other persons provided with tickets were admitted. The great intellectual treat of the Congress then began. The COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT, after twelve years' silence, o ace more addressed a public as sembly, which hung upon his words for an hour and a half, as the monk of the legend listened to the little bird's song for a thousand years, as if it were a single day. The Free Church in 'a Free State was his text, his own wards stolen from him by a great culprit, as he rightly observed. He held to its truth, despite of its gross misapplica tion, and he pointed to Belgium as the realisation of it. He described himself as coming thither, drawn by the publicity still reigning in Belgium, glad to escape for a time from a country which has consented to become the least free of the Western world. Fe spoke of the advantages for Catholics to understand rightly the duties and opportunities of public life, to know how to accept political changes which could not be reversed. Democracy had now become supreme in the world, and however he might have occasionally been frightened by it as a man, he had never been so as a Christian. The waters of the flood, all destroying as they were, served but to prove the safety of the Ark ; and, in the midst of revolution and an unruly Democracy, the Church and the Church alone, stood out as the refuge of society truly affording it the right of sanctuary. When the waters abated and the dry land reappeared as a new world, it needed the more, as such, to be blessed by the pervading influence of religion. Exclusive pri vileges and state protection had ever brought the Catholic Church into a state of slavery to temporal despotism, infimitely more prejudicial to it and de grading to its clergy, than:any amount of attacks and insults on the part of heresy and infidelity. In France, it was the man who dared to say that the state was himself, who had insulted the Holy Father in Rome, and had imposed the most servile yoke on the episcopate who bad repealed the Edict of Nantes. In 1771 Voltaire said—" lam not a Parliamentarist. I had much rather obey a handsome lion than two hun dred rats like myself." His fine lion was a Louis XV., who was the finisher of a political despotism founded by a Louis XI. The modern restorer of that despotism, that great man of prey, Napoleon 1., had restored the Church to its political status, but— to oppress its ministers and cruelly handle its supreme Pontiff, while he sought with all the in genuity of his satellites to enslave even the con sciences of the meanest among the faithful. Ie modern States the protection of Government ever implied servitude, and servitude of a minute kind unknown to posterity. Bureaucracy and centrali sation compressed us on all sides, and the Belgians had to beware o f t hi s of all others, and not to vote by their acts for an annexation which their honour repelled. Let them look to the consequences of restricted public liberty in a neighbouring country; it held down religion and honesty defenceless against the attacks of the theatre, changed into a laboratory of calumny and immorality, while the very literature of fiction and romance was made the vehicle of insulting God, and of degrading the people's hearts by inducing them to hold Him as a mere man. Democracy led essentially to despotism, and could be defeated or rendered innocuous only by a strenuous advocacy of freedom for all. In 1849, one of the leaders of Democracy in France, Felix Pyat, had dared to say that the Republic held two powers, two swords, from the sovereign people, the temporal and the spiritual, for that the people was at once Pope and King. Again, one of those very men at the Social Science Congress, held at Brussels that very year, had repeated with ferocious naivete that he cared but for one sword provided its handle were in his own hand Such were the pretensions of popular democracy. But they had to apprehend the effects of a much more formidable attack from another form of democracy, the Imperial form, which had resources such as the old Cwsarisra knew nothing of, and which stole on to oppression under the mask of protection. Popular freedom soon found the want of religion, which had made the French revolution powerless, politically speaking, however powerful it had been socially speaking, so that it might well be called une gran d e esperance trompee. Freedom was not too precious to be purchased by that great and exclusive treasure of the Church on earth --martyrdom for it had well been called the last resource of mankind, an inven tion of Heaven to tame down the masters of the world. He concluded for that day by expressing his heartfelt admiration for the founders of the Belgian Constitution, who had enriched their coun try with the four-fold freedom of Education, Associa tion, Religion, and the Press; while, to guard this religiously, they had had a realy henest man for a King s who had never infringed his oath. This was received by the Assembly with long and en thusiastic cries of " Viva le Roi !" The venerable President of the Assembly, also President of the National Congress of 1831, Baron de Gerlache, who sat amon g the audience, between the two cardinals, hastened up the steps of the platform to embrace the eloquent orator at the end of his address, which left the whole Assembly in an indescribable state of emotion.

A Mar's HEAD 'NEARLY CUT OFF.—On Friday a beerbouse keeper, named James Manning, resid ing at L'romsgrove, 'Worcestershire, was committed by the Bromsgrove magistrates for trial on a charge of cutting, and wounding under the following circumstances. It ap pears that on Wednesday last some Irish reapers, and among them a man named Anthony Tummey, were at Manning's beerhouse, when a dispute arose between Tum mey and the landlord, and the latter, wishing to deprive Tutomey of his s'ckle (which he had at the time hung round his neck), seized hold of the handle, and pulled it so violently as to inflict a dreadful wound, cutting through the main Eateries of the neck. The poor fellow was promptly attended by a surgeon, but he lies iu a ycry precarious. gate, IRELAND, The show is to be held on the fair green of Kil kenny, a quadrilateral space, containing about nine acres, the greater portion of which has been enclosed for the purpose. On Wednesday morning the judges will commence their arduous task, and in the after noon the ground will be opened to the public. The show will continue throughout Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday there will be a trial of agricultural im plements, the principal feature in which will be the testing of Howard's steam plough—an instrument said to be especially adapted to stiff and retentive soils. The Earl of Carlisle has announced his intention of honouring the show with his presence. He is to arrive in Kilkenny on 'Tuesday, where he will be entertained at a defamer by the Mayor, and receive an address from the Town -council. He will pass the night at Woodstock, the seat of Colonel the Hon. W. F. Tighe ; and on Wednesday he will drive into Kilkenny and inspect the exhibition. In the even ing he will be present at the banquet of the Agri cultural Society, which is to take place in the Athenaeum, Oa Thursday he will be the guest of Lady Ormonde, at Kilkenny Castle. On Friday he will visit the public institutions of Kilkenny and the vicinity, and in the evening he will attend at a grand ball, which is to close the proceedings of the Agricultural Society in Kilkenny. At the meeting of the Grand Canal Company, held yesterday, a report of a highly satisfactory character was presented. Notwithstanding the great depression of trade during the last year and the diminution of their resources, the directors were enabled to declare a larger dividend than the last— namely, £1 2s. 6d. per cent., free of income-tax. The working of the half-year shows an increase of income over expenditure of £ic,B7o. Those who have visited the county of Wicklow will regret to learn that the famous and picturesque "Scalp," the property of Viscount Powerscourt, has been shorn of much of its beauty by a fire which broke out among the furze on Thursday evening, and is probably still raging, for up to this morning the efforts made to check its ravages had' been in effectual. A valuable plantation on the eastern side of the mountain and several fields of grain have been destroyed. A great quantity of young timber has also been hastily felled in order to restrict the area of the conflagration. The amount of the da mage must be very considerable in a pecuniary point of view, and it will take years to restore the natural beauties of the scene. It is provoking that all this mischief was caused by the carelessness of a young urchin who was roasting potatoes among the furze. A French Watering Place. A correspondent of the Cambridge Independent Press, writing from Dieppe on Wednesday last, after remarking that "lodgings there are to the English in the fashionable time just double the price which is asked for corresponding accommoda tion at Hastings or Scarborough," and that " £3O a month is considered cheap for two rooms, up a wearisome flight of stairs," gives a graphic and vivacious account of the manner in which the French visitors pass their time. He says—" A peculiarity which the average English gentleman regret in Dieppe, is the artificiality which the Parisians, who mainly compose the body of visitors here, all seem to bring with them into their holi days by the sea. French ladies come with their most expensive dresses, and French gentlemen with their lounging cafe life and cigars. I have said that the sea before Dieppe is magnificent, but I scarcely ever meet en it a Frenchman. I have my pick of the sailing boats. There are very few of them, and almost the only persons who hire them are Englishmen. Round Dieppe are green lanes in the deepest shade, between high grass and flower covered banks, and musical with the song of birds, but we rarely meet the Parisians there. The forest of Argues, with nooks, and paths, and roads, that to us were positively enchanting, is but a short dis tance off, yet the visitors who go there rarely ex ceed 20 or 30 a day. Can any one living in a city desire a more exquisite retreat than the grounds around the Chateau of En ? Yet when I have been there,l have not Been a dozen of people in the place. My first impression was that the hotel books, and lodging-house keepers, and local journals had all misled me, and that Dieppe was deserted. Where were the people ? I must look into this mystery. Accordingly I ventured an inquiry. Has Mou sier,' said the French lady to whom I put the ques tion at a table d'hote,' has Monsieur been to the Eta blissement ?' I answered that I had not. I liked to see as much of dear nature as I could. Ith !' she said, with a smile, thought you had not been to the Etablissement. Go there this evening and the secret will be out.' I went. I became a sub scriber, aed in two or three seconds I saw what the visitors did with themselves. The Etablissement is a little toy Crystal Palace, with a large reading room, a theatre, a ball-room, and a concert-room, and a large restaurant. It is close to the sea, at the extreme end of the Plage, and some hundreds of chairs stand about on the terrace in front, on which you can sit, and at high water almost touch the white crest of the waves. This place is filled from noon to night. Every Parisian lady dresses herself for it after a late breakfast, and walks straight to it from her hotel. Here she glides leisurely round the garden, showing her tasteful robe to the best advantage, or she reads a little—(a very little)—or chatters with her companions round the tables on the terrace. At 2 o'clock she has a substantial lunch; and at half-past •five the com pany all swarm to their respective hotels to dinner. At 8 o'clock they return—this time in fresh dresses, and stay until 11 or 12, Of course there is a list of amusements, fallowing closely upon one another. This afternoon there is a children's ball—one of the prettiest sights, by the way, in a civilised society ; another, there is a ball for adults; two evenings a week French comedy is played by a competent troupe of actors; and concerts are constantly going on. This is the French holiday at the seaside— music, dress, and comedy. The sea is only an acci dent, to be looked at as a curious monster; and the country is to be Studied in the pages of AIM. Michelet and Lamartine." 75 65 70 80 MRS. CHARLES SELBY is announced as about to open tho New Royalty Theatro with an original comedy, in two acts, written by her Into Ir4Orand, and entitled Court c 4, all t DtMLIN, Aug. 22. The National Cattle Show, which is held an nually, under the auspices of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, is always looked forward to with great interest, not unmixed with anxiety, as it affords a most reliable indication of the progess made by the country during the year in those pur suits on which its prosperity mainly depends. In this respect the show of last year, held at Limerick, was not satisfactory. An unfavourable season and scanty harvests had prevented many who would otherwise have been exhibitors from bringing their stock to the high condition necessary to insure sue- C2SS in the competition, and the number of entries was considerably below the average of former years. This year the prospect is much brighter, and the approaching exhibition at Kilkenny is expected to be one of the most successful that the society has yet held. The competition will be very spirited, as the best stock breeders in Ireland, besides many in England and Scotland, have announced their intention of sending the choicest of their herds and flocks. In the class of horned cattle there are already about 150 entries ; in that of sheep they amount to more than 100, and the swine are equally nume rous. The show of horses will also be very good, and there will be a large collection of agricultural implements. The prizes offered to the competitors are nume rous and valuable. For sheep two silver cups, value 50 guineas each, are offered for the best rams of th e long and short woolled breeds respectively. The Messrs. Purdon, proprietors of the Irish Farmers' Gazette, have presented a silver cup, also worth 50 guineas, for the best general collection of imple ments suited to the agriculture of Ireland. In the equine class a piece of plate of equal value is offered for the best stallion, mare, or filly in any of the sec tions. There are also several money prizes of vari ous amounts. - r,tw t r in 4 MALY HER MAJESTY. The Queen in Germany. ROSENAU, COBURG, Aug. 20. Her Majesty the Queen and the Princes and Princesses have taken drives in the neighbourhood of the Rosenau and to Coburg, and have visited the Duchess of Coburg at the Kalenberg. The Duchess of Coburg has dined several times with the Queen. The Princess of Wied and her daughter, who were staying for a few days at Coburg, were re ceived at the Rosenau by the Queen. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia (the Princess Royal) arrived last evening on a visit to the Duchess of Coburg, and drove over to the Rosenau to visit the Queen. During her Majesty's stay at Laeken the Queen received visits from her Imperial Highness Princess Pater of Oldenburg and her family. WE are happy in being able to announce that her Majesty and the Royal children, since their arrival in Germany, have been in excellent health. Her Majesty ex perienced a very pleasant voyage across the sea, and much enjoyed the journey throughout, without experiencing the least fatigue.—Court Journal. THE QUEEN OF PRUSSIA has arrived at Baden, where she intends remaining several weeks. THE CROWN PRINCESS OF PRUSSIA has received, as is customary every year, a choice selection of fruit from her little garden at Osborne. THE PRINCESS LOUISA, accompanied by the Princess Leiningen, is still at Osborne, enjoying daily rides. THE DUKE OF SAXE COBUILG GOTHA has written a short pamphlet on the plan Austria has proposed for reform, and giving his own views relative to the unity a Germany. The Earl of Wilton arrived in town on Saturday From Cowes, Isle of Wight. The Earl Beauchamp is passing the season at Madresaeld Court, Worcestershire, wo learn, in very deli cate health. The Earl and Lady Constance Grosvenor are at present staying at Calverley Park, Cheshire. The earl, who has been somewhat indisposed, is now much better. Lady De Dunstanville will leave her house in Charles-street next week, on a tour of visits—to the Earl and Countess Fortescue, and Mr. and Lady E. Russell, in Devonshire. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone and family, together with a large circle of friends, will be the guests of Lord Lyttelton at Hagley Hall the third week in October, on the coming of age of his lordship's eldest son. His Excellency Count Wachtmeister, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Sweden and Norway, was married on the 15th inst., at the Swedish and Norwegian Embassy, to Madlle. Con stance Georgina Louise de Bourbel, younger daughter of Harold Auguste, 16th Marquis de Bourbel, of Montpingon, in Normandy. The nuptial benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Pastor Frithiof Crafstroeur, almoner to the Court of the King of Sweden and Norway, and chaplain to the Legation at London. The Marquis Townshend has bought a mansion in South•street, formerly the residence of Viscount Mel bourne. The Marchioness of Londonderry will leave town early this week for St. Leonards-oa-Sea, where the mar quis has been removed for change of air. His lordship, we are grieved to add, continues in the same weak condition of health. The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and Lady Victoria Ashley, on leaving Spa, in Belgium, intend to proceed on a visit to his Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Italian Minister, at his seat in Italy.

BARON MAROCHETTI'S bronze statue of the Prince Consort, destined for a memorial at Aberdeen, is ready for casting, and will be inaugurated next month. MR. JOSHUA ALDER, whose participation in the bounty of the Government was announced last week, the Athenaum tells us, is known to naturalists as an able observer of the lower forms of animal life. The great work published by the Ray Society, on the British Nudibranchiate Molluaca, was written, says our contemporary, by Mr. Alder, conjointly with his fellow townsman, Mr. Albany Hancock. Mr. Alder has contributed a number of papers to the various natural history reviews, and has added a large number of new species to the British Fauna. Messrs. Alder and Hancock are both inhabitants of New - castle-on-Tyne, and in the approaching gathering of the great men of science there will be found few who have won. for themselves a more desirable reputation than the authors of the " British Nudibranchiate Molluscs." Both these gentlemen have been engaged in business, but Mr. Alder unfortunately lost the accumulated gains of his life through the failure of the Newcastle Bank, some years ago, and the Government bounty will be in his present state of health and increasing years an acceptable recognition of his services to science, DEATH OF MR. FRANK FOWLER.—This gentle man, who was the author of several works, and the secretary of the Library Company, expired at his residence, in Hammersmith, on Saturday afternoon, about 3 o'clock. He had only j'ist completed his thirtieth year. The primary cause of his death is said to have been excessive mental labour. Mr. Fowler has left a widow and three young children nearly unprovided for.

A POLISH LADY FLOGGED TO DEATH.--A letter from 'Riga in the Magdebourg Gazette states that Mdlle. Slaniadoff, a young Polish lady twenty years of age, has just died near Dubbein, in consequence of a flogging with the knout inflicted by the orders of Mouravieff be cause she wore mourning. All the Poles and Germans staying at Dubbein attended the funeral of this unfortunate lady. tiEEIOUS COLLISION.—SHIELDS , Saturday Night. —A very awkward accident occurred in our harbour to-night, about 5 o'clock, which is likely to involve serious. loss, besides seriously interfering wit.b. the plan of river im provement being carried out by the _River Ty ne Commis sioners. About the hour mentioned an enormous dredger, which cost the Commissioners above .A'11,700 two years ago, was being towed down to the bar by ta o steamboats, at the time that the Germany, one of the Lou don General Steam Navigation Company's steamships was c oming in from sea. While some few yards below the dredger the steamship un fortunately let go her an c h or, and the tide swung her stern round, bringing her scre w i mmediately utoa er the dredger's bow. While in that position the steamer was set ahead, and ono of the fans of her screw immediat, sly struck the dredger and drove i n one of the plates. She immediately began to sink, and was towed towards the shore . She sunk with her stern i n d eep water, and it is feared sin will slide into deep water enti re l y as the t i de makes, and a s h er ma chinery is of immense weight she will be very difficult to lilt. The Germany's screw was disabled, and she 1 tad to be towed up to Newcastle. REFT3AL OF A - WILTSHIRE CLERGTMA.:I TO BIIII,Y TTIF: BODY OF A CIIII.D.—No little et: lito mentlas been caused in the palish of Abebury, in - ict ilt shire, during the present week, in consequence of the v.iear, the Rev. J. L. Ross, having refused to bury the body o f an infant child. It appears that a child belonging to Jan les and Eliza Middleton, of Kennett, died a few days ago, a, id the funeral was fined for Tuesday last. The vicar, how ever, refused to perform the service, as the child had beet baptised at the Free Church, and the funeral was there fore postponed. One of the churchwardens waited on the vicar, and endeavoured to persuade him to perform the ser vice, which the rev. gentleman expressed his willingness to do, but that he could not legally. The body was thereupon. taken to the church, and thence to the gates, where tho service was conducted by the Rev. James Hussey, the in cumbent of the Free Church. The corpse was Ulm taken. to the giAY;', and intenta i 4 silence, 13, 4;
