Tastefully mounted instruments stand there exposed to the weather, as well as bronze globes, on which are raised brass stars to depict the heavens. Curious and complex as some are, ex quisitely finished as is the workmanship, some years ago no magnifying glass was there in use, although telescopes had attained a high degree of perfection in the neighbouring island of Japan. Beneath this Observatory stands the Han-lin College, where the students live in long rows of low buildings enclosed by a high wall. It now appears that the Chinese Government are taking vigorous steps to obtain a more perfect observatory, and a university on a comprehensive scale, with the view of introducing into the empire the science and inventions of the West. An account is given in the Transactions of the German Oriental Society, derived from the Peking State Gazette, showing the steps taken by the Emperor's advisers to attain these ends. When the father of the present monarch, who is a mere boy, fled from Peking to Jehol, on the approach of the Allies, the man who assumed power was Prince Rung, a member of the royal family, to whose liberal views and statesmanlike policy the sal vation of the empire is mainly due. A man of his intellectual capacity coming into official communication with the ambassadors of the Great Powers formed the best channel for conveying Western knowledge into the young Emperor's mind. Recent events have shown unmistakably the bent of Prince Rung's policy, and its effect on the Government of his Sovereign. Almost immediately a Chinese embassy will arrive in England, with an intelligent member of the American diplomatic ser vice at its head. This mission is doubtless some of Prince Rung's work ; and although with a narrow mindedness which no education can wholly eradi cate, the spirit in England is to regard it with sus picion as a Chinese dodge, the very terms of the treaty with the United States, which we last week published, as those to be proposed to the Western Powers, ought to dispel so mean and ungenerous an interpretation. The Peking Gazette gives facts which might correct these unworthy surmises, as they mark a new epoch in Chinese history. It appears that Prince Rung, who is at the head of the Foreign Ministry, addressed a petition to the Emperor from his Board, embodying several proposals, chief among which were the foundation of a mathemati cal and astronomical college. The Emperor received this so favourably that the plan was at once adopted, and the buildings, including an astronomical ob servatory on a large scale, commenced. The petition reached the Emperor in December, 1866, and in the following February the Prince's memo rial and proposals were published in the Gazette. In it the employment of foreign professors is insisted on, and the reasons urged with great art, so as to meet the turn of the Chinese mind. It is well known that the pride of civilization has been in herited by China through generations, while Em pires have grown up, culminated, and passed out of record. To break down a pleasing vanity trans mitted through countless ancestors among those who highly venerate the opinions of their fore fathers could be no light task, and Prince Rung must have had rare courage and determination thus to face the inborn prejudice of the nation. While adhering to his declared intention he manages to soothe and even to administer a fillip to Chinese pride. He asserts that instead of their being dis ciples of the West, it is the West that derived the sciences of astronomy, mathematics, and many others from China carrying them to higher perfec tion, and what the Chinese now desire is not only to pull up to a level with the Western nations in the studies they gave them, but to carry their knowledge further. Anticipating an objection that in the matter of steamers and machinery they might be bought from the European makers without this trouble and with less expense, the memorial thus replies :—" people, in the first place, do not know that China has to learn a great deal more than how to make steamers and guns; and further, even with regard to these, what they propose is a temporary measure, whilst we propose to go to the GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL, Caledeuian-road, Islington, N.

We intend not merely to acquire th,3 secret how to make these present machines, but others, better ones of higher, more perfect com.truction that any that now exist, or shall exist." But the great stumbling-block evidently, was the employment of foreign teachers in the new schools, and the memorial is directed to refuting those who considered it a dangerous innovation :—" There is only nnc thing which is really disgraceful, an , 1 thAt is ;tot learning from strangers, but bein2 bAind other people in culture. Now, it is not only the Western nations who vie with each other in trying to be foremost in all sciences, but there is even little Japan, lying in the Eastern Sea, sending men to England to learn the literature of that country, and to exercise themselves in mathematical com binations, so as to create a fleet of steamships after the European pattern. Verily, the fruits of the movement will soon be apparent. Let China look to her own, and leave such retrograde people who object to innovations and expect everything to come by itself to their own sloth and indolence, but not drag the country with them into their disgrace ful state. One more objection we must meet—viz., that of its not being seemly for a learned man to apply himself to practical manufacturing and build ing, and plying instruments of architecture, &c. Now in the chapter Kackung of the Chou-li, which is the third sub-division of the classical work Li- Chi,' this will find its full refutation, for this chapter treats exclusively of workers in wood and of wheel-wrights. Let the scholars be the pos sessors of the theories, and may the common mechanics work out their ideas. There is no difficulty about that. Every learning must have some practical bearing if it would be useful." The memorial contains the following six proposals, each accompanied with an elaborate argument to show its advisability:—" 1. Only such graduates and employes are to be admitted to academical classes who, by a previous examination, have shown them selves sufficiently advanced to profit by the instruc tion. 2. The candidates shall live in the university itself, so that they shall not only have the advan tage of being constantly within easy reach of their masters during their private studies, but also in order that they themselves may yield less to the temptation of neglecting their work. For this pur pose also their absences shall be strictly noted down. 3. Every month there shall be an examination on some one special subject, by way of testing the proficiencies of the single students, so that pro per distinctions and encouragements may be conferred. These examinations shall take place in the presence of the Prince himself. 4. Every three years there will be a great general examination. The successful candidates shall be recommended to the Throne, and shall at once be suitably employed in the lower grades of the State service. The unsuccessful ones shall continue their studies till the next examination. 5. The students shall be properly remunerated in order that they may apply themselves to their work with undivided attention. Apart from the free living it is pro posed to give them ten taels monthly in order that they might not have to indulge in melancholy reflections.' Generosity is above all things the fittest stimulus for those who apply themselves to science and learning. 6. The progress made by the students is to be properly and liberally acknowledged and - rewarded, not merely in token of satisfaction with their labours, but also as an encouragement for those within and without who might not otherwise use all their energies for the purposes of study, since it is in the interest of the State and the commonweal to fire the ambition of study in every possible way." This document was followed by another two months later, as it appeared in the Peking Gazette, April 24, 1867, in reply to a counter-petition by Wo-Jen, principal member of the Imperial Council, who headed the opposition, and who had set forth the arguments against the employment of foreigners and the other designs of the innovators. 'He considered that in their great empire there were a sufficient number of able men proficient in mathematics, astronomy, and the other sciences to select as teachers, adding, " You need only to look for them." The skill with which Prince Kung is playing his cards can be seen in the way he met this opposition. Taking Councillor Wo at his word, an Imperial decree instantly charged him to look for them himself, and he was commissioned to form a rival institu tion 'to try the competitive system. The effect was immediate; for in two days the Gazette published an official communication :—" That whereas . Wo-Jon had been charged with point ing out men of proficiency, of whom be said there existed ample numbers in the empire, the same had now sent in an immediate report, stating that he had not had any special men in his eye, and that he would never dare to propose this one or that one at haphazard—the said Wo shall not for all that be freed from the obligation he has thus undertaken. He shall go on seeking for such indi viduals, and shall bring them under official notice, in order that they may receive their further education in the institution he will found in friendly rivalry to that of Prince Kung." And Wo was promoted to a seat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Several known European pro fessors have been invited to some of the new chairs, and members of the learned professions have arrived at their destinations. Two years are allowed for mastering the Chinese language. It is not easy for Western nations fully to appreciate the re form Prince Kung is working. It will be in ternal far more than external, although the latter reform is in truth prodigious. China is so enormous in population that whatever really affects the Empire has an importance great in proportion. The system of appointments in China has long been by competitive examination, and it is but reasonable to suppose that the men educated in the new• University will reach the highest dignities, and the Government virtually pass into their hands. This is clearly what Prince Kung aims at, and if he succeeds he will in a few years placearound the Emperor men skilled in West ern science, with a knowledge of political economy, and the rules upon which good government is based. Although the Chinese repel barbarian innovation, they are highly imitative, and will speedily adopt the new system when it is made to flow from their own fountain of honour and promotion. In this university we' see one of the wisest and boldest steps ever taken, and destined, we doubt not, to produce an effect in the highest degree important. A new line of steamers between Bremen and New Orleans will be opened on the Ist of October. THE BROKEN ATLANTIC CABLE.—On Monday night Mr. Willoughby Smith, the eminent electrician, left for Valentia, County Kerry, in pursuance of instructions from the joint committee of the Atlantic and Anglo-Ame rican Telegraph Companies. He was followed on Tues day morning by Mr. Latimer Clark, who will verify his tests, which at present show that the fault lies at about eighty miles from Newfoundland, in water not exceeding, if it reaches, 100 fathoms in depth, and that the interrup tion of communication is so complete as to put it almost beyond doubt that the injury has been caused by the grounding of an iceberg. Communication will,- it is ex pected, be restored in less than a month ; but meanwhile the other cable is fully equll to the work required of it. Talking of the cable, it is stated that fully eighty per cent. of the receipts come from the American side. The sums paid for messages by the Atlantic Cable by the English press for a year, amounted to a total of £1,400, against exactly as many thousands paid by the American news- papers. The newspapers have been lately teeming with refer ences to economy in tea by co-operation. Horniman and Co. have for 30 years co• operated through Agents to supply tea on more advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea reaches the consumer in the same pure state as it leaves the grower; as it is secured in packets. Williams College, Massachusetts, is to have au art, gallery, with two largo halls for the open literary societies, to be erected west of the gymnasium ; and the frame building now on that site is to be removed and converted into a college boarding house on the commons Mtera. uf617,: THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1868. INDIA-OFFICE, 27TH JULY, 1868. THE SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA_ in L COUNCIL having confirmed the following RULES p7omulgated by the Governor-General of Indiain Connell, regarding LEAVE of ABSENCE to COVENANTED CIVIL SERVANTS, publishes the 'same in supercessioia ,f all previous Rules and Orders on the subject.• These Rules will take effect. from the Ist July, 1868, and ire not intended to apply to Covenanted Civil servants, who are Members of the Councils of the Governor-General, n• of the Governors of Bombay and Madras, or who are fudges of a High Court. RULES REGARDING LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO COVENANTED CIVIL SERVANTS. DEFINITIONS. I. In the fcllowing, Rules— " Actual Service" includes the p3ricel ,dnring which an ulcer is on duty, also periods spent on privilege and sub -idiaty leave, and periods during which an officer, not on leave, may be out of employ on subsistence allowance in india. " Extraordinary Leave" means any leave granted other wise than under these Rules. " Long Extraordinary Leave" means extraordinary leave extending beyond a period of three months. " Long Furlough" means furlough extending beyond a period of three months. " Salary" includes acting allowances. An Officer's "Station" means that station to which he stands appointed, or such other place as the Government to which he is subordinate may determine. CHAPTER I. FURLOUGH. 11. The maximum period of furlough, which can be granted to any officer during the whole period of his ser vice is limited to six years. 111. Subject to the above limit, one year's furlough shall be placed to the credit of each officer for every four years of actual service. IV. No furlough shall be taken before the completion of eight years' actual service, except under Rule VIII. V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from the date of the last return from long extraordinary leave, or long furlough, except under Rule VIII. Leave taken under Chapters 11. and 111., but no other leave, shall be reckoned as part of the said three years. VI. The maximum term of furlough to be taken at any one time shall be two years. VII. Except as hereinafter provided, an officer when on furlough shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint ment, or on an appointment of similar character and not less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if that period be less than three years. In calculating such average, the time spent and the allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted. Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw mere than £1,200 or less than £3OO per annum. MI. Under Medical Certificate (a.) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under Rule 111. (b.) Furlough for a period not excee ling one year may be taken, even if less than three years have elapsed since the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur lough. When on furlough under this clause an officer will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be en titled only to subsistence allowance, unless he has com pleted six months actual service since his last return from long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which case the officer will retain a lien on his appointment, and will draw allowances as calculated under Rule VII., until that credit be exhausted, but in no case for a period ex ceeding one year. (c.) Furlough taken without medical certificate, or under clause (a) of this Rule, may bo extended beyond fwo years for a period not exceeding one year. When on fur lough under this clause an officer will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be entitled only to subsistence allowance. IX. Furlough taken or extended under Rule VIII. is subject to the provision of Rule 11. X. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the date of the officer quitting his station to the date of his return thereto. Furlough taken out of India will be reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of return. In the event of the furlough being taken partly inlndia, and partly out of India, the commencement and termina tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules, according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of India. XI. For the interval elapsing between departure from his station and the commencement of furlough, and be tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During those periods his allowances: will be calculated in the same way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer has, under these Rules, lost his lien on his appointment, he shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary leave shall count as service and residence. XII. Applications for furlough will in all cases be sub mitted to the 'Government to which the applicant is sub ipate, and will be dealt with in such manner as the Governor-General of India in Council may from time to lime , prescribe. -- XIII. Subject to the exigencies of the service, both as regards the number of furloughs available at any ono time, and as regards individual applications, of w hich exigencies the Goihnment of India, Madras, or Bombay, as the case may be, shall be exclusively the judge, furloughs will be granted under these Rules. XIV. All applications for furlough under medical certi ficate, in accordance with these Rules, will be granted without restriction. XV. lf, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica tions not supported by medical certificate will bo granted in the following order:— The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of furlough remains under Rule 111. shall have the preference. If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last return from such leave or furlough. If two or more applicants are equal in both respects, the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada tion List. XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall be 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub sidiary leave, shall count as residence. XVII. The term of service qualifying for pension shall be 25 years. CHAPTER 11. PRIVILEGE LEAVE. XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may take privilege leave for one month without deduction from his salary, retaining a lien on his appointment, whether substantive or officiating. Provided that, in the case of his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs. XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi tions, two or three months' privilege leave may be taken when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty two or twenty-three months respectively. XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of the first instalment, the period of the second instalment being omitted from the calculi Hon. Provided that the whole l rivilege leave taken at any ono time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall be admitted. ~„ XXI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so absent; and, if ho shall so continue absent for more than one week, his office shall become vacant. XXII. 'Privilege leave shall I.)e reckoned as residence and service. CHAPTER 111. SPECIAL LEAVE. XXIII. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be granted at the discretion of the local Government for a period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough. Special leave shall not be reckoned as residence. XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying sincial leave. XXV. Special leave may be repeated without allow ances after intervals of at least six years' actual service. CHAPTER IV. GENERAL. XXVI. Furlough, privilege, leave, and special leavo shall not be taken as such in continuation of each other; but, if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave bo allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his absence shall bo held to be under the class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will 133 no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly, if payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is taken in England. 'CHAPTER V. TEMPORARY RULES. XXIX. Whatever aggregate amount out of the three years' furlough and three years' sick leave, under the Rules until now in force, at present remains to be taken by an officer under the said Rules, shall remain to be taken by him under Rules now promulgated. XXX. Any o fficer now in the service shall, - when next proceeding on furlough. elect whether ho will draw allow ances at the higher minimum rate of £5OO per annum (not exceeding his total salary at the time), If he shall so elect, he will, in any future furlough, be limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of £1,004 per annum. XXXI. Any officer now absent on leave, who has no appointment, may, on his return, and until ho again holds an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan tive appointment which ho last held, draw the subsistence allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the pay of any appointment in which he shall officiate. Pro vided that the total salary so drawn by him shall not ex ceed the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. This Rule shall apply to a n y officer who ma y have a lread y returned from furlough. XXXII. Any officer now absent on furlough, or under ine.di'!al certificate, may elect whether the remainder of his leave shall be taken under these Rules from the date of theirpromulgation.

An officer holding a substantive appointment, and officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class, hall draw acting allewauce calculated at 30 per cat, a the first 2,000 rs., and 20 per cent. on the remainder of the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. Provided that, if the acting allowance so calculated do not amount to two-thirds of the difference between the pay of the two appointmentv, it shall be raised to two thirds. Provided further, that in no case shall the whole salary so drawn exceed the pay of tho appointment in which the officer is officiating. I[. An officer holding no substantive, but only an offi ciaVng, appointment, shall, subject to the provisoes in Rule 1., draw, in addition to the subsi,tenc3 allowance of his rank, 50 per cent. of the pay of the arpointrnent iu which he is officiating.

The Bishop of London arrived at Bonn on Saturday last, accompanied by Mrs. Tait and his family, and by Mr. Hassard, his private secretary. His lordship preached to the English congregation in the chapel of the university at the eleven o'clock service on Sunday. The chapel is a handsome building, erected in the reign of Louis XIV., as the private chapel of the country seat of the Electors (Archbishops) of Cologne. After the great French Revo ; lution the Electors of Cologne were almost virtually swept away. On the re-arrangement of Europe after the downfall of Napoleon, though the Archbishops of Cologne had estates re-assigned to them, the old country seat or palace at Bonn was never given back to them, but has been turned into a great and thriving uni versity for the German nation. The jubilee (or 50 years established) was celebrated at Bonn only last week, with the King of Prussia, the Crown Prince, and a brilliant company present. Between 300 and 400 English heard the Bishop of London preach. Morning prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Anderson (formerly Lincoln's Inn preacher), chaplain to the British residents at Bonn. The, Bishop was again present at the afternoon service, and later visited the graves of Niebuhr and Bunsen, in the cemetery. Thirty years ago the Bishop of London attended a course of lectures at Bonn University, and was resident there for several months. This fact is said to have always formed a bond of union between his lordship and the late Prince Consort. The Bishop of London is still well remembered by many of the old residents of Bonn as " the Rev. Mr. Tait," the young English clergyman who first established the English Sunday service. On Monday his lordship called on some of the professors, and later left for Frankfort. THE METROPOLITAN CAB-DRIVER4' SOCIETY. The members of this Society held their first annual dinner at the Crystal Palace on Tuesday, Mr. George Potter in the chair. Great interest was attached to the meeting on account of the present disputes with the rail way companies in regard to " privileged cabs." The CHAIRMAN, in an interesting speech, proposed the toast of the evening," Success to the Cab-drivers' Society," and gave some account of the grievances under which the cabmen laboured. He said that the number of licensed cabs in London was about 5,9Q0, and if £5O was allowed as the average value of each cab and two horses, the aggregate worth of this cab property amounted to £294,500 ; but this property was subjected to an annual tax duty of £lOO,OOO. In his opinion it was the existence of this exorbitant taxation that was the principal cause of the dissatisfaction which existed in the cab trade. There must be a diminution in the cab taxation ; there must be a better and more humane system of police regula tions ; there must be increased and improved standing room for the vehicles, and the system which compelled numbers of cabs to crawl about the streets in search of jobs must be abolished. In conclusion, he advised the men to be conciliatory in their tone, and they would be sure to succeed. Mr. B. PEARCE, president of the society, responded to the toast, and entered fully into the operations of the society and the remedies which were proposed by the cab men to improve their position. He said that informa tion in his possession justified him in stating that the strike against the railway companies would terminate before the end of August in favour of the men. (Loud applause.) The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Crompton, Barnes, Sawyer, Evans, and Silless, all cab drivers ; and the proceedings, which were of importance to this useful class of public servants, were brought to a close by a vote of thanks to the chair. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE FENIAN PRESIDENT. The Herald New York correspondent writes : " Fenianism is not dead ; its directors have learned by experience the value of silence ; they are quietly doing what formerly they did with much bluster and noise. I pretend to nu information concerning the exact time of the threatened rtiid upon Canada, or the points of attack. I merely draw inferences from patent facts. I think that the movement will soon take place, and that its course will be over the ground selected in 1866. Certainly Fenians in considerable number have collected at Buffalo, Detroit, and St. Albans, and certainly the persons who are known to be the adjutants of O'Neill are passing hither and thither to confer with acknowledged leaders of Fenianism. Curious to know something of the personal appearance and traits of the Fenian President,' I lately secured an interview with that `official,' at his headquarters. The office of the Fenian `President' is upon the second and third floors of an unpretentious brick building in Fcurth-street, in a central locality, and not more than one hundred feet from Broadway. No placards or signboards indicate the whereabouts of the 'Executive Mansion,' A few large show-bills, with harps, sun-bursts, and enormous letters, printed in green ink, are stuck to the walls on each side the street doorway ; these announce Fenian picnics at Jones's Wood, Elm Park, and other places. The stone steps of the old dwelling-house are battered and broken ; the dirty winding wooden stairway which leads up to the second floor trembles beneath the treat. Tu: n'ng sharpy to the right, one sees an or en door : this leads to the main office of the Fenian Government.' This apartment, in the rear of the building, is perhaps twelve feet square. Its furniture consists of four chairs, a stool, and a desk. Directly opposite the door is an old-fashioned fireplace, over which hang pistols of every variety. In the corner to the left, and next the window, are half a dozen rifles and muskets. About the walls are crossed sabres and short swords, bowie-knives, and miscellaneous cutting tools. On the walls also hang, from brackets, heaps of blue and green uniforms, with red and yellow stripes, and upon the floor at the right is an immense box filled with green jackets trimmed with yellow cord ; these lest, lam told, re for the ' cavalry.' On the walls ar• lithographs of Emmett, Corcoran, and Meagher, and highly-coloured prints of the Battle of Limestone Ridge,' and the Battle of Pigeon Hill.' In the works of art possibility of mistake is prevented by the fore thought of the artist, in giving to the coats of ' the British' a crimson of peculiar intensity, and to the dress of the Fenians a preturnaturally vivid green. While I look upon these pictorial treasures, the Fenian President' enters. He is saluted with great respect by two large, full-bearded men, in black garments, whom he addresses respectively as Colonel' and Alajor.' These men, after a few words, pass into the front room, uncarpeted and cheaply furnished. The ' President,' to whom I have been named, is a man of the middle size, rather robust in appearance, with a good head, a sharp blue eye, a face by no means lean, though bearing the unmistakable Celtic stamp. He wears a dark brown moustache. His smile is pleasant, his manner courteous, his words well chosen. He speaks with great caution. He requests me to be seated, and after a little desultory talk he gives me, at my request, a description of his movements at Fort Erie and elsewhere, in 1866. In a quick and soldierly manner he sketches out the campaign, shows the position of the Canadian troops and his own men, describes the trap into which he had nearly fallen, and explains the ease with which he crossed from Fort Erie after the regulars and the Canadians bad driven him to the water's edge. He tells the story of his sacri fices for Fenianism, his success in recruiting 20,000 men in Tennessee alone, and the deceits practised by the self styled Fenian leaders. He speaks with great respect of the British troops, and with great contempt of the Canadian Militia. Finally, I ask him plumply, what he hopes to gain by attacking the people of the provinces. Sir,' says he, 'my principle is that every English man is an enemy to Ireland ; that when an Englishman is assaulted anywhere the whole nation must feel it ; and I think that England will never be brought to her senses except by this continual attack. England understands force, but she does not care for discussion. Socially, I. think that the Canadians are very respectable people, and I have no personal grudge against them. But they are English.' I tell him that if a new movement is contemplated I suppose that the present year is the most favourable for Fenian pur poses. ' Well,' he replies, ` I have nothing to say on that subject. But General Grant knows, and the Democrats know, that the party which interferes too strongly against us will get the vote of no Irishman.' Of course Ido not speak of O'Neill's plans, and only venture a hint—that if any attack be made this year it will take place before September. 'Either before or after,' he says with a laugh, if it take place this year.' And thus the inter view ends. I come away convinced, not by what O'Neill has said, but by his manner, that the Fenian President' means mischief." The royal commissioners appointed to inquire into the pollution of rivers, navigable streams, &c., will shortly return to the metropolis, on the completion of their personal survey of the rivers Mersey and Ribble. Th e report on the rivers, it is expected, will be ready by the meeting of the new Parliament. DETERMINED SIIICIDE.—The Slirrey Standard gives an account of a singular suicide which has occurred in the parish of Preston. The deceased, Harriet Fin, was the wife of a gardener employed at Patcham, Sh e appears to have fastened a cord to the top of a bedpost, then put her head through the noose while kneeling on the bed, and while in that position it would seem that she opened a large vein in her arm with a razor. Having done so, she shut the razor up, laid it on the ledge, and becoming weak from lose of 144 fi ..24.4, 4bit 4 . 431M044rd_ t &ATM steliteilikaitad N i I 1
