These import`ant works, well known in Germany for the production of 'charcoal Iron, were established in 1856-58, at a cost ex eedi'ag £340,000. Accordir‘g to a report by John Iledley, Esq., of Derby, one of 11. M.".., Inspectors of Mines (which report may be seen at the Off ice), the works consist of two blast turnaces— a foundry containing cupola and arrangements for a large casting busi ness —a forge—bar and plate mills with eight pairs of rolls— shears—lathes, eze.., capable, with slight additions, of turning out annually 5,000 tons of boiler plates, and 3,000 tons of bars, the whole of the machinery worked by steam power— together with ample storehouses, workshops, and offices, and cottages for twe.;ty-five families. The buildings 2re of a more substantial kind than is usual for such purposes in England and the machinery, which i s c onstructed with all recent improvements, is in excellent condition, having been used for a short time only. The deposit of iron ore belonging to the works is practi cally inex haustible ; it is of very pure quality, of the s one composition as the clay band of the coal measures, and con tains from to as ti) forty-four percent. of iron according to the analysisn of Dr. Percy, of the Government School of Mines London. As this mass of ore lies open to the day it is worked ing, without the expense of si n ki ng s h a ft s, pump- The&c. fuel employed being half wood charcoal and half peat, entirely tree from sulphur and phosph rue, plates and all other descriptions of the finest quality are marufactured. The exten.ive forests in the neighbourhood, and an inex haustible deposit of peat from 20 to 30 feet in thickness— which is prepared at the works—supply the requisite fuel at a cheap rate. Coke is supplied by neighbouring collieries, of a quality equal to the best North of England coke, with which superior Iron for casting purposes can be made, and for which there is an extens ye demand throughout Germany, at a price which Will leave a large profi% The Iron mad e at these works is adapted for the manufac ture of first-class plates, bars, tyres, and steel ; and froM the tenacious and ductile character of some of the mixtures, supe rior armour plates for hips can be manufactured. For the c.mvevance ot fuel nd products of the works the pronerty includes eight miles of railway, three feet gauge, besides two and three quarter miles of main line, branch and sidings connecting the works with the Hanover and Bremen line, and thus with all parts ot Germany. The works are erected upon about fifty acres (65 Morgen' of freehold land, and there is also a copyhold farm of 172 151° Ir er n (about 130 acre s ) on w hi c h th e I ron ore i s wor k ed ullu concession, t. ste ad for the tenan comprising also a farm house and home t,:?lx hundred and fifty tons of Puddle Iron and about a nt ar. fall I i on pieces ( f dried peat remain upon the property, in _l_ liee Included in the puirchase. tile d e r pany',4 o quence of the excessive outlay made by the Com established the works, together with the mercan them r o r l inn at that period financial difficulties brought pr i ce 0 , zpstand.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. _ _ The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppeirt, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since he beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, incl. £16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -cart iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the meat responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding- and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

Last evening Dr. Lankester resumed at the Salmon and Compasses Tavern, Penton-street, Pentonville-road, the inquiry respecting the death of Mary Anne Best, or Ber ridge, aged 37, who was alleged to have been murdered. Mr. Beard appeared on behalf of the friends of the de ceased, and Mr. G. Wakelin represented Mr. Peter Best, ac cused by the sister of the deceased of the alleged murder. On Monday week last the man Best gave an alarm, and said that he had found deceased dead in a room in his house at 2, Warren-cottages. He stated that he had been cut, and upon his return discovered her ice a chair with a handker• chief tied tightly round her neck and an al ron steed into her mouth. He ran for Dr. Sheehy, who stated that her death was the result of strangulation, and that there was upon her right arm a cut or stab which divided several veins. There was a slight incision, but not sufficient to draw blood, on the left arm. Deceased was proved not to have been left-handed. The sister of deceased said that Best, who had had a child by deceased, wanted latterly to renew the intimacy, and that he was very jealous, and stated that she believed Best had attempted to renew the intimacy by force, and finding he could not get the better of her he had mur dered her. The witness also said deceased used to be shame fully beaten by Best, and that while she was in service she was forced to give him her wages to keep his tongue quiet. Deceased only left her place, from ill health, the evening previous to her death, and she went to lodge in Best's house, where she passed as his sister. Margaret Lacey was now recalled by the Coroner, and she said that she had arranged that Best should meet her in Holborn at half-past 1 o'clock on the Monday in ques tion. He said he would meet her there. Cross-examined by Mr. Beard—l knew Best for seven years, and have lived with him two or three years. I left my husband to live with Best. It was I that stripped the deceased. I tore the dress on the shoulder. Ido not know that it was torn in the front and in the back. I gave it to the washerwoman. The dress was produced, and was found. torn down the flout the whole way. It was also torn in the breast. Witness said—The dress was not torn in that way when I have it to the washerwoman. I never said anything to the woman about burning anything. I did not tell her to pledge the things. I went to her to get the things back, but not at Best's suggestion. Best always said deceased was his sister. She said so herself, Mist; Emma Hobley recalled, said, in answer to Mr. Beard, that she had seen Best go out on the Monday in question. She always said so; she said so to the coroner last week. The Coroner being requested to look at his depositions, said that he had a statement down that she had not seen him go out. Witness said that she heard him go out at a little before 1 o'clock. She did not know of his return until ho called out that his sister had committed suicide. Dr. Sheehy said deceased had been dead about an hour and a half when he saw her about 2 o'clock. Witness did not observe spots of blood on the purse produced when he took it from the pocket of deceased. The blood now on it might have got on it from witness's fingers, which were bloody. Philip Lowther, recalled, said Best went into his own house about a quarter to 2 o'clock on Monday. He went in lazily, and did not seem agitated. Witness saw him go into the house again at 2 o'clock with the doctor. Ann Cogger, 3, Chapel-street, artificial flower maker, produced a gown, handkerchief, and apron which she had received from Mrs. Lacey to wash. They were wet, t s if just out of water. The gown was torn down the front and in the breast when she received it. It was precisely as it was at present. Last Thursday the woman Lacey came to her and asked her had she taken the things home. Witness said "No." She then asked witness if she wanted any money, and upon witness saying she did not, she said "There is my flannel petticoat ; you can pawn that if you want money," She said nothing else about deceased's things. Dr, Sheehy here said that the dress was not torn when he saw deceased lying on the bed. Edward Bramble, apprentice to Mr. Busson, who lives next door to Mr. Best, was called by Mr. Wakelin, and said that ho saw Best speaking to doceased about 10 minutes to 1 o'clock. Witness went out for some beer then, and on his return met Best in the street. Police-constable Green, 106 H, said that on the day in question he saw Best in Gray's-inn-lane, between 1 and 2 o'clock, at the corner of Fox-court. He was coming from Holborn, and he nodded to witness. Witness could not state the time within half an hour. Mr. Busson, No. 3, Warren -cottages, said that he heard no noise of a struggle on the day in question. When Best called him into the room where the deceased was the carpet was not disarranged or tossed. The Coroner then summed up, and said that it was appa rently fully proved that Best was absent from the house during the time the deceased met with her death, if, as the doctor stated, she had been dead an hour and a half when he was called in by Best. The room was then cleared, and the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict, "That deceased was found dead in a certain room from suffocation, the result of stran gulation, but how the said strangulation was caused there was no evidence to show." The proceedings then terminated. The Accident on the Lynn and Hunstanton Railviay. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. E. M. Beloe, deputy coroner for the borough of Lynn, opened an inquest on the body of Mr. John Dennis, who died of the injuries he had received early on Tuesday morning. After the jury had viewed the body they went with the county jury to visit the place of the accident, and upon their return the following evidence was given : Mr. George Billing said he went to Hunstanton on the Monday by the 12 o'clock train. Mr. John Dennis, the deceased, was one of his party. They travelled third-class, and came back by the second portion of the excursion train. When they got past Wootton station witness noticed a vibration of the carriage. In the compartment of the carriage nearest the engine were Mr. Laird, Miss Clark, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Laird, and facing them were also in the same compartment Mr. Dennis, Miss Palmer, and others. After the vibration of the carriage had lasted a few seconds the carriage was upset. Witness fell to the bottom, and af;er clearing something from off his feet he shoved a pori. on of a board down and got out. After getting out ilia wife and niece, who were with him, the first person he recognised was Dennis (the deceased) lying on the grass. ....Ile spoke to the deceased, who appeared to be much injuree... By the Jury—We were not travelling faster than an ordinary train. Our carriage was somewhere about the middle of the train. Mr. T. M. Kendall, surgeon, said he was sent for on Monday evening to go down the line. When he arrived there he found Mr. Dennis, who said he was much hurt. Found his leg was broken, and ordered his removal to the carriage. Mr. Alinson, surgeon, and his (Mr. Kendall's) assistant set the deceased's leg. Saw the deceased again between 12 and 1, and he was then in a state of collapse, but sensible.. He died during the night of the excessive shock to the whole system, from which he never rallied. After this evidence had been taken the inquest was adjourned until Monday. The coroner and the county and borough juries had a special train placed at them service on Tues day afternoon, in order for em ofm Mr. L, .fastiaml Simpson n ur a r n en d ee. With to visit the scene the train were al so Mr. E. Self, directors of t he ny ; so licitor, Lynn and Hunstanton Comp Mr. Valentin e, engineer of the line; Mr. Edwards,a Upon reaching the spot, Mr. Edward s stated to the juries B--c-that that the companies were anxious to give e ver Y explanation in their power, and any information which might lead to the ascertainment of the cause of the accident.

Long will the night between the 24th and 25th of June, 1863, be memorable among the inh abitants of th e Downs of Sussex. oa. that Wednesday night and Thursday morn ing, raged a thunder storm of an extraordinary kind, inte resting in an unusual degree to science and hum an ity ; to science, because the electrical s torm presented features never recorded in England; to hum anit y , from the the do mestic interest of the tragedies it o cc a sioned. On that night a tropical storm visited England, Men. wh o h av e b e en all round the world and seen the storms of every clime, say they saw that night a storm of a hot country on the shore of a temperate climate. The area of the storm was consi derable. I have seen accou nts of it fro m Chichester in Sussex, and Chesham in Buck in g hainsh ire. On the south coast of England its principa l ran g e was eastward to East bourne beyond Beachy Head, and westward to Chichester and Selsey Bill, and inland northward to Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone. My opportunities of observing it were limited to the Downs and coast of Sussex. There are vast differences in the storms of different climes. The extraordinary thing respecting the storm of the 24th of June last was, that it w as a stormin a temperate climate with many of the features of a tropical storm. My place of observation was near the Black Windmill on the west hill of Brighton. About half-past six o'clock there fell some "heat drops," heralding a shower. As the sun descended in the heavens dark bluish-gray clouds over cast the sky, which, after s undown, were more and more frequently lighted up by flashes of sheet or summer light ning: I went out for a stroll near home, and was soon joined by two neighbours, one of whom delights in astro nomy, and the other in poetry. About ten o'clock heavy r ain-drops came drumming down upon our hats like a shower of pebbles. Driven in-doors, I set myself to watch the storm. The evaporation from the sea had sent up, during many previous days , clouds of a different composi tion from those which had been rising from the rivers, and winds blowing from different quarters had driven them into collision. And then began the most magnificent battle of sea clouds with land clouds I ever beheld. The warring clouds did not appear to be more than a thousand feet up whilst resting upon the land. A man who could have be held the whole area of the storm from a balloon at an ele vation of fifteen hundred or two thousand feet, would have seen as grand a storm as the imagination can con ceive. He would have seen, by means of the lightning flashes, the white-frothed sea dashing against the coast line from Selsey Bill to Beachy Head; with the rivers run ning between the round hills ; with copses, forests, fields, cottages, mansions, hamlets, villages, towns, church towers, cathedral spires, and windmills. There was an extraordi nary variety in the forms of the lightning. A d as h of chain lightning is said to have been seen; I myself noted sheets, darts, forks, zig-zags, and fireballs, I have never seen, heard, or read of, lightning of such various colours ; there were flashes of red, purple, bluish-grey, grey, pale green, milk white, and golden yellow. No human eye dare brave the dazzling brightness of the fireballs. The un usually great variety of the colours shows that there was an unusually great variety in the composition of the warring globules, or vesicles. And the thunder was, of course, as various as the lightning. The sheet lightnings, purple, bluish-grey, or pale green, were followed by rumbling noises, like the sound made by heavy artillery, when heard rolling over rough stone-paved streets at night. The darts, forks, zig-zags, were followed by rattling peals, resembling the reports of musketry when heard near enough for the hissing of the bullets to be discerned in the noise. The fireball explosions, by their thunder, recalled to mind the simultaneous discharge of many guns of the highest calibre. This great variety in the colours and sounds was accom panied by another remarkable feature—continuousness. From half-past nine until a quarter-past one o'clock, the lightning and thunder were without intermission. The storm recommenced again at about half -past two, and con tinued until after four o'clock in the morning. For hours the four victims of this thunder storm lay dead or dying during that fearful night—John Dancer on the beach under Seaford Cliff, and the spellers and Eliza beth Bingham on the road, under Ranscombe Brow. What a touch of pathos is added to the terror of these storms, when we remember their wrecked victims, the hopes they destroyed, and the homes they desolated I How are we to characterise the foolhardiness which neglects all the known precautions against their dangers ? More than three hours after the catastrophe at Rans combe, a Lewes tradesman was driving home in a four wheeled chaise. It was the darkest, coldest, most eerie hour in the morning, about half •past 2 o'clock. On the road at Ranscombe Brow, his horse shied. He applied the whip gently, but the horse would not advance. His son jumped down and tried to lead the horse, and then both father and son tried to lead the horse ; but he would not pass some thing on the road. It was very dark. They could see nothing. At last a flash of lightning showed a cart turned on the axle, and they discerned a woman lying close under it. The woman did not answer when spoken to, and they discovered she was dead. Another flash of lightning re vealed another woman rather more under the cart. After procuring a lantern and assistance, and while drawing the cart away from the horse, a man was seen under the wheel. The forepart of the cart was kicked in. These three victims of this storm were buried in the churchyard of Glynde on the following Sunday. A long funeral procession, with about 30 couples of mourners, followed them from the village to the churchyard. The coffins, according to ancient Sussex custom, were carried on the shoulders of 16 men, attired in long white smock-frocks, with black neckties. One large grave received all three, and they wera laid down in the order in which they tra velled. From 1,000 to 1,500 persons were in the church yard ; and a crowded congregation listened in the church, in tears, to a discourse reminding us that in the midst of life we are in death. This great storm left its mark at other places. At Maidstone and Herstmonceau, hailstones, or rather bits of ice, of oblong shape and broad as pennypieces, fell, break ing skylights. A policeman on duty at East Peckham was struck by lightning and seriously injured on the left side. A retriever dog was killed by his master's side at Hurst • pierpoint. A poplar was shattered into splinters in the vil lage of liernsing. At Cuckfield, the lightning entered a cottage by the chimney, burned a small hole through the bedroom floor, passed through the sitting-room below, and left by the door, which happened to be open. At sea, four sailors were knocked down on board the Britannia collier, lying off Brighton. At Wil mington, the Eagle beerhouse was set on fire and gutted, the inmates escaping for their lives. At Spring Cottage, Fount Road, Tunbridge Wells, a man and his wife were struck in bed, the latter lying for some time insensible. None of the furniture in the room in which they were sleep ing was injured, but the stone sink in the kitchen was shat tered to pieces. In Ely Lane, Tunbridge Wells, the light ning struck a cottage, breaking pictures, damaging ceiling, and smashing panes of glass and a chimney mirror. A horse grazing upon the rocks at Denny Bottom either fell, being frightened, or was knocked or swept down from the rocks, and was fatally hurt. The lightning over the whole range of the storm scorched flowers, corn, especially oats and barley, although the damage was not considerable ; and it positively benefited the hop Nines, by debarrassing them of noxious insects."

Two or three hours of heavy rain that fell soon after mid night had materially improved the ground to-day, and re freshed the external world generally. We are happy to say that young Drew, who met with such a serious accident yesterday, was reported as being in a more favourable con dition this morning, and, though far from out of danger, yet hopes are entertained that, with youth and condition on his side, he may get over it. Much sympathy was expressed for him by all classes. The programme of the day's sport, although exhibiting a falling off as compared with that of the opening day, was, - . upon the whole, quite up to what was anticipated. The Cup was expected to bring together Atherstone, Fairwater, and Caller On; while the Champagne Stakes boasted, in addi tion to these three, the names of'Queen of Trumps, Umpire, and Tippler. True, the Brighton Biennial, by the presence of Fille de l'Air, threatened to possess little interest for the public ; but the various handicaps, especially the Pavilion, had capital entries, and reflected great credit on the energy of Mr. Dorling. Some of these expectations were, however, doomed to disappointment. Caller Ou scared away all her competitors for the Cup, and a walk over was the conse- quence. The Pavilion and Ovingdean Handicaps each brought ten horses to the post, but the victories in both cases were easily gained, and Fille de I'Air, as had been anticipated, secured the Two-year-old Stakes for Count de Lagrange without a struggle. In consequence of these walks over the committee added 100 sovereigns only to the cup in lieu of 200, and 50 to the Biennial Stakes. There remained only the Champagne Stakes to revive the interest which these disappointments had caused to languish. Four ap paredr to contest the prize, for which Fairwater was selected l i to do battle for the talent, as little as 6 to 4 being readily taken about her, which had a depressing effect upon Um pire and Tippler ; the latter, however, was supported with some spirit by his noble owner and friends, and, as the result will show, fully justified the confidence reposed in him, as he won with great ease by five lengths. Umpire, as usual, ex hibited his temper after descending the hill, and in conse quence was immediately out of the race. During the intervals of the race some attention was turned to speculation upon forthcoming events, the Leger of course taking precedence. But little or no change of moment was made manifest in the quotations of the favourites, as given in our last, if we except the demonstration made against Lord Clifden. Mr. Jackson, after some little badi nage, with his noble owner, offered 11,000 to 1,000 against him, which was immediately accepted by Lord St. Vincent, with an intimation that it could be repeated, which met with a goodnatured refusal on the part of the layer. Subjoined are full details of the day's running, The Pavilion Plate (handicap) of 100 sous, for all ages. Bristol mile. Mr. H. E, Handley's Cheerful, 3 yrs, Est llb (inc.

A long delay at the post was followed by a straggling and unsatisfactory start. Tolurno having a slight advan- tage made play for a few strides, when he was headed by Cheerful, who came on with a commanding lead, fol lowed by Heart of Oak, Kingswoed, and the favourite, the others headed by Spencer and Corona going close in their wake. Rounding the bend, Tippler gradually improved his position, and on reaching the bottom he obtained the second place, followed by Kingswood and Heart of Oak to the enclosure, when Judd called upon the favourite, but failed to reach Cheerful, who won in a canter by three lengths, four lengths separating the second and third. Topsy, who was left at the post, passed a lot of the putting up horses, and finished fourth, and Tolurno fifth ; Heart of Oak and Bolero were the next two. The Sussex Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 soya added ; 2- yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with certain al lowances, and optional selling weights. About five fur longs. 7 subs. Mr. Jas.

Zora slipping her horses immediately the flag was lowered came on with a decided lead, waited upon by Curie, Dictator, Birdlime, and Creole to the bottom, where Zora was headed by Birdlime, who in a few strides after was followed by Creole,the three singlingthemselves out, and coming on nearly abreast to the stand enclosure, where Zora gave way, lea Ting Birdlime to canter in the winner by four lengths ; Zora ob taining the barren honours of second by half a length, Dic tator was fourth, close up, and Curie next ; the others *ere widely spread, the last two being Queen Elizabeth and the Longatock Lass colt.

The following is the text of the proclamation . o, the National Government to the Polish nation, which has already been announced by telegraph : " WARSAW, July 31. " Six months ago the conspiracy (which was the expression of the wishes of th e whole nation), with out any military resources, but strong in the belief of the holiness of its objects, and in the face of the fresh projects which menaced the existence of Poland, raised the banner of insurrection and forti fied it with noble zeal on the field already soaked with the blood of so many generations. The insur rection expressed the will of the nation, and carried out the principles which would lead Poland to vic tory. Thq country understood them, and, great and powerful as it is, placed itself under the banner of an undivided, free, and independent Poland. A nation which began a conflict with a colossus like Russia, and placed in the circumstances in which Poland was placed on the 22d of January last, had to exert itself, not only to youthful ardour and energy, but also to manly endurance and patience, in order that first disasters might not discourage it, and long waiting for triumph might not throw it back into a state of lassitude and weakness. i‘ Whatever influence many failures and defeats might have on us, it is certain that we could be victorious and carry on the contest to this day only by unbounded confidence in our own strength, by unlimited sacrifices, by the courage and discipline of our soldiers and the virtues of our citizens. In this confidence lies the secret of the insurrection. This confidence is security for Poland's certain triumph, and shows to the nation her relation to the Government and her position with regard to Europe. Europe does not sufficiently understand our sufferings, and does not know our zeal and the inexhaustible means we have at our disposal. " The National Government gives Europe free dom to take part in our cause agreeably to ruling interests and political passions. But whilst she stands at the rudder of the insurrection, and there fore at the head of the national idea, she must firmly reject all that could dishonour the holy flag of in dependence. She must remain deaf to all who de mand the cessation of hostilities before the attain ment of our object, namely, the re-establishment of Poland in the limits of 1772. To accept the inde pendence of one Polish province, and leave the rest as the spoil of the enemy, would be to gainsay our historical rights—to blot out from history an ex istence of one thousand years, and to deny our name by committing fratricide. No! Poland has not risen again to be again laid in the grave by Europe. There can be no Poland without Lithuania and all Reussen ;" no Poland without the kingdom of Poland. Their history, their political and social conditions are one—an indivisible trinity. "To acknowledge the right of existence to but one province, and to oppose it in the others, is to kill Poland. Before you, people of Poland, lies the battle. On the one side is slavery and shame, on the other liberty and the welfare of future gene rations ! Can you hesitate and draw back ? No, you must conquer; you must purchase liberty with blood ; you must sacrifice a whole generation on the altar of Poland ; God and arms will decide your destiny. " Citizens, let us hold fast to the love of our country. Union and sacrifice! Let us hesitate before no sacrifice; let us be ready at any moment to give up life and property, house and family, for our country. Let us remember that from the mo ment the insurrection broke out nothing that we possessed belonged to ourselves—all belonged to our country. ne are all servants of the nation— servants of a great thought, of an all-powerful sen timent. In whatever situation we may be, placed in the midst of the bloody work of the nation, let one common law guide us, one dutiful sacrifice for the common good, one universal desire to die for our country. As we now enter upon a new period of the conflict, the National Government will make every effort to arm the whole land by the means furnished by the community, and to call as many to arms as possible. Armed Poland is triumphant Poland. The principles which have hitherto guided the insurrection, and which were expressed in the mani festo of the 22d January, will also be the principles of the future action of the National Government. No violation of them will be allowed. The idea contained in that manifesto of equality, and of re ligious, political, and social liberty, is maintained in all its force and purity, and will be developed by corresponding institutions immediately on the ex pulsion of foreign domination and the organisation of the country. In the spirit of these principles the National Government will do all in its power, so that the masses of the country people, awakened from their sleep of 100 years, may find in it their guide to a new industrial and political existence. All viola tion of rights will be punished by the arm of over tice. The National Government will watcdb the regular course of the administration, 0 11 o tover the discipline of the soldiers an d their obedienc e their leaders; it will punish every abuse cellaausthaoll rity in the civil or military service, es w negligence and indifference, and w ill restrain per sonal ambition. isgdorn of Poland, " Citizens of Lithuania, the hortly be called upon and all Reussen,9—You hell as sttle for the father for the general and already been se decisive land.

We have an instance here of a tannery established within the walls of Alexandria, and of a bone boil ing-house jus'i, beyond the gates, which prove the necessity of some control in such matters. Another edict forbids the erection of steam pumps on the:canals. It is evident that were every one l:er mitted to erect pumps at pleasure, it would deprive the neighbouring proprietors of the water necessary for their land, to which they have an undisputed right.

The question of the r claner)tds assu med by his Highness, as mentioned in a letter, appears to be justly open to objection, and I hear that much dissatisfaction exists among the Fellah.population, both upon this point and also as to the proportion of forced labour they have to contribute for the cultivation of these and other properties of his Highness. Much is attributed to the over zeal of the Viceroy's stewards, who tax the forces of the peasantry severely to obtain large re sults, and the ghen ain credit from b ec ome known their lord, but to Ismael I have no doubt w Pasha that this grievance will be remedied. His Highness has just returned to Cairo, after a visit of inspection to his sugar estates and refine ries at Roda and Minie in U pp er Egypt. His at tention, I understand, is much engaged with plans for the extension of railway and telegraph lines, and I think we shall before long see Egypt doubly linked to Europe, by branches of wire to . wards Bengazi and the Malta line on n the one side, and through Syria to Constantinople other. Typhus has much diminished in the Upper Country, but it has made serious havoc. The cattle disease, on the contrary, is i ncr easing, and will,l fear, gradually overrun the whole country. Egypt is nearly abandoned by its European in habitants : few even of the Consuls-General remain. They are either gone or going, and so it is with the rest of the colony. All who can avail them selves of the great facilities afforded by the numer ous line of steamers pass the hot months in Europe, to escape from the debilitating effects of the cli mate, which seems to increase with the annual growth of this city. The French Press on the Russian Note. The new note sent by Prince Gortschakoff in reply to the last despatch of Count de Rechberg betrays, the France is of opinion, much irritation and discontent. Referring ono by one to the three points challenged by the Count, the Russian Minister affirms that they were quite understood at Vienna ; Russia, in addressing Austria, had been actu ated solely by considerations of common interest necessi tated by the conjoint responsibility by co-dividing Powers, and she naturally felt grieved that a proposition conceived in so friendly a feeling should not have found at the court of Vienna the reception it was entitled to expect. The Fiance affirms that there must be some want of understand ing between the two Courts, and proceeds to enquire how such men as Prince Gortschakoff and the Count de Rech berg can accuse each other of assigning to declarations, the clearest and most explicit in appearance, a meaning which they cannot support. Our contemporary explains the anomaly in these terms :—" The reason of this under standing lies together in the transformation which has taken place in Austria, an d which reacts on questions of foreign policy. Austria has become a Liberal Power, and Prince Gortschakoff has spoken to her as if she was Abso lutist ; he thought that he had before him the. Austria of 1831, of 1846, or even of 1855, whereas he had 16.e1p with that of 1863, living under a constitutional regime, ancl'illak ing public opinion and liberty the principal bases and the" surest support of her domestic and foreign policy. Prince Gortschakoff did not take that transformation into account ; astonished at the attitude which he saw the Court of Vienna assume, he thought that an appeal to historical pre cedents and an invocation of the past would be sufficient to again place Austria in what he considered her traditional path, and that the declarations of Count de Rechberg, who appeared to have departed from the former language of Austria, ought to be interpreted in that manner. In a word, Prince Gortschakoff mistook dates, and wrote on the 14th July a despatch which was quite an anachronism. The precise and categorical reply of the Count de Rechberg sud denly convinced him of his error, and the fresh note of the Prince is nothing more than on avowal of the diplomatic check which he has just met with at Vienna. Prince Gort schakoff must therefore make up his mind to one fact — that Austria is no longer with Russia and Prussia in the affairs of Poland—but with France and England. The axis of diplomacy has been displaced ; its basis of operation is now in the very heart of Europe. Before that union of the three great Northern Courts, closely bound together by their complicity in the act of 1872, diplomacy was in a mi nority ; now it is in a majority. What before made its weak of - ness now constitutes its str en g th . This private quarrel Austria and Russia has just been added to the common ne gotiations of the three Powers, determines their beari!ig, and marks their first effect. The result, which is belongvtery portant in itself, is a prestige of others which cann9 f delayed.

It says — proposal made w ith a friendly feelin g , in confor mity with the wa s c declares that his s and c ommon int erests of Russia a nd Austria.' It re lations is evident that ther© is a wide interval between this new language, this earnest and humble apology, this disavowal more or less sincere, and the disdainful insinuations and the haug hty and trenchant language of the replies to the three Cabinets. If we might draw any certain t and formal con clusion from this document, as transmitted o us in the tele graphic version, we should be inclined to think that Russia, according to her usual practice, has found time for reelec tion since the 14th July, and has d eeme d it expedient to c h a nge her sentiments, tone, and attitude. Ihe first step backwards may be followed by o th ers more decisive, and the Morning Post will perhaps find in this apology of Prince Gortschakoff a new and powerful T ,' argument The in support of its programme, Union is peace Vienna Gazette takes this same view of the preseyit situation, b • eing convinced that the interests of Russia must impel her to follow the three Powers in the path of i conciliar on, and to make the conces sions demanded of h er f or t h e maintenance of peace in • I Europe," CURIOUS DISCOVERY.--The Journa: de Saone-et .Loire publish e s a l e tt er f rom the Abbe Cueherat giving a detailed account of a discovery recently made about half a league from Paray (Saone-et-Loire). A workman who was digging a field, which only last year formed part of the neighbouring forest, and was then broken up for the first time, struck his spade against a large Roman tile about a foot below the surface, and under it were found seven metal dies, such as were used by the Romans for coining. The abbe says that these dies are made of a mixed metal, hard and brittle, but that he has not yet been able to ascer tain its precise composition. Some of them arc in the form of truncated cones, 1.77 in. in height, 1.38 in. in diameter at the large end, and 0 79in. at the other, on which the im pression is engraved. The smaller dies are of nearly equal size at the two ends, and thickest in the middle. They Wong to the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudit, and bear respectively the following inscriptions ' C2ESA.R DIV. AUG F. AUGUSTUS (Tiberius Caesar,divi Augusti filius, Augustus) ; C. CIESAR AUG. G. Fan.... (Caius Caesar Augustus, Germanicus fra ...... ); II . T. .C. CIRSAR AUG. ROMA; TR, POT. 111 . Cos. I. (TIbeTILLS Claudius Cte stir Augustus,Romse tribunitia potestate.functus tertio; consul tertio). There are twenti es ies of Tibe ar rius, but one of them is broken. The three pri all be laurels over their diadems. The three princes all bear laurels over their diadems. The fifth die represents a goddess seated, with the inscription Aix° placed vertically on the right side. "Two of the dies,' „says the abbe, " aro in the possession of an amateur who forestalled toe, but I have impressions of them. They appear never to h ave h a d an y inscr i pt i on , but I believe the head to be that of Augustus. The Emper or is not not crowned with lau re l s , b u t h as the ra diated five points preserved for emperors after their apotheosis . The die for th e reverse presents a ram, wn with t h e e mblem of th e sacrifices off ere d t o the deified emperor. r° From the place n which they were found these seems little reason to doubt their authenticity.
