Secretary. • f:Z\ ,•.‘ Ze .. aft drief Stilt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1868. It is with feelings of unmixed satisfaction that we regard the result of the trial of Mr. EYRE at the Court of Queen's Bench, before Mr. Justice BLACK BURN and the grand jury of Westminster. The charge delivered by Mr. Justice BLACKBURN occu pied two hours, and was most luminous and com plete. He directed the jury to inquire into the case of Mr. EYRE, in order to determine if the steps he took were legal and the breaking out of the insurrection in Jamaica. It was not disputed that he did proclaim " martial law" with the assent of his Council, and that this was continued for the period of thirty days. The question before the court was, whether in so doing Mr. EYRE had made himself criminally responsible. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN stated the question resolved itself into this—" What is the rule or test of the criminal re sponsibility which may be incurred by a Governor when acting, as Mr. EYRE undoubtedly was, as Governor, and for the purpose of putting an end to an insurrection ?" This is certainly a question of great importance to be decided, for it is necessary that the Governors of colonies should rightly un derstand how far they are responsible in any act of repression which they may deem it advisable to adopt. Some thirty years ago the Mayor of Bris tol was prosecuted for not being sufficiently on the alert when riots broke out in that city, which case was the converse of Mr. EYRE'S. The task of those in authority at such awkward times is of course to steer clear between excess and failure of duty. It was indeed, as the learned Justice ob served, hard to define the exact limits of the case, but they must take all points into consideration, and determine when and where there was a failure of duty, and if so, if it was such as to be crimi nal. One part of this charge was particularly ex plicit, which was where the jury were told to put themselves as much as possible in Mr. EYRE'S place, and to look at the facts as they appeared to him to be, and to take. into account what he heard and believed. - This duty has been entirely overlooked by those who have made themselves very active in pre-judging this case, and they have all along spoken, and written, and jumped at conclusions, as if they, at a distance from the scene of disturbances, and quite ignorant of the condition of affairs at that juncture, were far more competent to give an opinion than those in the very midst of the conspiracy, and who had the whole of the transactions before them. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN disposed of the point as to whether the Colonial Legislature could alter the laws at will, and make new laws to bind the colony. It was so laid down by the Privy Council, when there was an appeal from the island of Jamaica, and he showed that it would be "perfectly mon strous to make a man responsible for obeying a law which had been clearly defined, although it might be open to doubting parties to protest against it, and take the question to the House of Lords to be decided. It is not justifiable to make a Colonial Governor " criminally responsible" for carrying out the law of the colony. if Mr. EYRE were to be judged by the common law prerogative of the Crown, a true bill would most probably have been found against him ; but the law has been com pletely altered by the colonial statutes, which " gave an immensely extended power to the Gover nor beyond what was possessed by tile Crown, ex cept as in Ireland, by statute." The Jamaica colo nists were well aware that theirs was a colony liable to insurrection, and they therefore passed these stringent regulations. Two checks were put upon the proclamation of martial law—first, that the Council should assent ; and, secondly, that it should not extend over a period of thirty days. The state of the case was this: that if Mr. EYRE had not employed the means that were in his power, and disasters had ensued through his omission, he would have been punishable for neglect of duty. For, looking at the question as to whether martial law was continued too long, Justice BLACKBURN said that the terms of the Colonial Act permitted it to be continued so long as any danger existed. He had considered the point carefully, as to whether it was justifiable for persons to be seized out of the district where martial law was not in force, and carried into the district where it was enacted. " I have considered that point carefully," said Mr. Justice BLACKBURN, " and have come to the con clusion that, looking at what martial law was, it might under proper circumstances be justified.' Regarding GORDON, he considered him a "pestilent firebrand, using the most violent language, which probably conduced to cause the insurrection." Mr. EYRE might have been mistaken in the matter, but there was no ground for " charging him criminally," if they believed he honestly thought that GORDON was at the head of the insurrection, and that it was necessary that he should be tried summarily in order to stop the spread of the disaffection. Concluding this part of the charge, Justice BLACK BURN told the jury " that they must put themselves as much as possible in the position of Mr. EYRE himself at the time referred to, and make an allowance for his responsibility and position, not. like ourselves, sitting here calmly and quietly con sidering the matter after the lapse of two or three years thousands of miles away from the scene, but putting yourselves in his position, every one urging him forward and no one holding him back, with the general belief in the colony which he shared, if you come to the conclusion that under all these circum stances he acted as a man of repsonable resolution and firmness might have acted under such circum stances, then you ought nit to present a criminal charge against him." It is of interest to him that this charge was approved of by the other Judges of the Court, and they all authorised i it. Referring to some of the charges, the learned Judge said that he had looked iu vain through the evidence to see that Mr. EYRE had authorised this or that act of cruelty or oppression. The Grand Jury retired for four hours, at the expiration of which they came into Court, and informed the learned Judge that they returned " no true bill ;" and thus ended the case, concerning which so much interest has been felt. It is to be hoped that we have now done with the prosecution of Mr. EYRE, and that the Jamaica Committee will retire from their unwearied notoriety, and cease to run counter to public opinion as they have done. They have rebuffs enough by this time in all crnscience, and nondmore important and significant than that of yes terday at the hands of the Grand Jury of Middlesex. This body was then well known by the straightfor ward view they took of the case, and the ready manner in which they recognised the full bearings of the matter before them for judgment. Had the case gone for trial we feel sure that the evidence for the accused would have so impressed and influenced t he court as to the legality of Mr. EYRE'S proceedings and the honesty of his intentions, that the result would have been his acquittal ; but it is far more satisfactory as it is, and the next thing to desire is that the Government will resolve to indemnify M r• EYRE for any loss he may have sustained. When we come to reflect upon the particulars set forth by Mr. Justice BLACKBURNE it seems indeed most hard that Mr. EYRE should have been recalled from his position as Governor of Jamaica, and we believe it is generally considered. At any rate public indigna tion has not been wanting in this last attempt to ruin on the assumption of deciding legal difficulties ; and those who have acquiesced and carried on the affair with so much eagerness will find that they are on the losing side throughout. Mr. EYRE may be congratulated, but we cannot look upon the case yesterday decided at Westminster as a personal affair, for it affected the public well-being of our colonies, the welfare of our colonial fellow-subjects, and the honour of the English name abroad. It would indeed have been a sad spectacle to offer to the world that we as a nation had so little regard for justice and so vague a perception of propriety that we allowed a man who passed the best years of his life in the arduous service of his country to be attacked and ruined to please the prejudices of a faction. We are very much mistaken if the general impres sion will not be that the Jamaica Committee have proved their utter ignorance of the particular law of Jamaica with respect to martial law, and thus confirmed the opinion already entertained in some quarters that they set out by condemning Mr EYRE, and then proceeded to justify themselves at his expense, and at the sacrifice of reason, and in con tempt of real justice. The result of yesterday's in vestigation has made Mr. EYRE'S case clearer than it ever was before, and so far it is not to be re gretted that it was brought forward, although it would have been *ell if he had been spared the an noyance of the affair. The fact is that the more perfect the inquiry into the matter the more justly is it proved that in all he did the ex-Governor of Jamaica had no object in view but to protect the Colony entrusted to his care, and that he did the best he could in a position of great peril and anxiety—he has saved that others may weep ; but as long as any recollection of the insurrection remains in Jamaica, so long will his name be held in grateful recollection, and he will be regarded as the preserver of the colony in a time of great danger. Like other men of merit, however, the meed he has received has not been in accordance with his deserts; but while this occa sions regret to his friends, it is some satisfaction to learn that his enemies are overwhelmed with defeat and mortification. The exact terms of the resolutions adopted at the Chicago Convention are now before us, and deserve attention, not only from the influence which it was believed that the meeting would exercise on the Washington crisis, but because the resolutions constitute, we may b€lieve, what is called in America the " platform" of the Republican party. We may sse in them, more especially in the sixth and eighth resolutions, some traces of the influence of the ex treme Radical section, but for the most part they are such as moderate, pacific, and reasonable men of the party could honestly subscribe to. If they are to be accepted as indicative of the policy to be pursued henceforward by the Republicans, we may hope for a decided improvement in the tone of pub lic affairs. Nevertheless, the inconsistencies and unfairness which have marked the conduct of too many of the leading Republicans leave their traces. The Chicago Convention wa s held in the ten days' interval between the first and second votes of the Senate Court on the Impeachment. Report says that the ad journment was moved with an especial view to it. After the vote on the 11th Article had been taken supposed that the Court would it v o was te o n n the u naturally Articles and settle the momentous question, but the Radicals had other ends to serve than the mere legal decision. They wished to ob tain an interval to put the pressure of direct and indirect influence upon the wavering Senators, and they were not without hope that the Chicago Con vention might produce some effect. The open declaration of the Republican policy has often be fore now produced a chan ge i n d ou btf u l mem b ers of the party, and the Chicago Convention is always looked upon as an important and authoritative as sembly. Resolutions condemning ANDREW JOHNSON in set terms were passed at Chicago, and no doubt the Radicals thought that no man dare set himself so completely against his party as to vote for the acquittal of one who was thus prejudged and con demned. The eighth resolution begins by deploring the tragic death of ABRAHAM LINCOLN--an expres sion of regret which might seem rather late, only that the reason for the sorrow is that the assassina tion of LINCOLN led to the elevation of JOHNSON. After this preamble the whole formula of charges is gone through. The PRESIDENT has acted treacherously to the people who elected him ; he has usurped high legislative and judicial functions ; he has refused to execute the laws; he has rendered insecure the property, the peace, the liberty, and the life of the citizen ; he has abused the par doning power ; he has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional ; he has persis tently and corruptly resisted 'every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the rebellious States; he has perverted the public patronage into the engine of wholesale corruption. Such is the verdict of the Chicago Convention ; and the resolution winds up in characteristic style by declaring that ANDREW JOHNSON has becn justly impeached and properly pronounced guilty by the vote of 35 Senators—entirely ignoring the fact that the votes of a minority sufficiently large to secure an acquit tal pronounced him not guilty. It might well have been supposed that such unmistakeable language would have startled the recusant Senators, but happily such was not the case. The 19 stood firm, and the Chicago Resolution was practically useless. fhe interval between the votes was useful in another way to the Radical Senators who wished to bo present at the Convention, and wbo were thus able to look after their interests at Chicago without deserting their posts at Washington. When it was known abroad that such men as TRUIMULL and FESSENDEN—high legal authorities THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1868. —had decisively pronounced their opinions against the Ihipeachment, the public were sensibly im pressed. Such men rank their professional repu tation higher than any party allegiance, and as men of high legal knowledge and constitutional experience they could not bring themselves to ad mit the validity of the charges. If we look into the terms of this eighth resolution, what do we find ? A tissue of abuse and groundless accusa tions. The terms of it might almost apply to the Radicals themselves, and one might fancy it had been drawn up in satire. The PRESIDENT is ac cused of wholesale corruption by the very men whose unscrupulous pressure upon the Senators has been denounced by the more respectable portion of their own press. He is charged with having usurped high legislative and judicial functions by members of that Congress which has arrogated to itself the power to overturn the Constitution, to regulate the Cabinet, and to decide upon the con duct of the Supreme Court. Most absurd of all, ANDREW JOIINSON is charged with having persist ently resisted every attempt at the recon struction of the Southern States by the party to whom America owes her present dismemberment and discussion. But even the Radicals are beginning to acknow ledge that the South must be restored to the Union, and the very first resolution adopted by the Con vention declares it to be the duty of the Govern ment to prevent those States falling into anarchy. It has been hinted that the sudden anxiety of the Radicals for the admission of Southern Re presentatives to Congress on the new terms is dictated by their desire to re-enforce the Radical party in the Upper House. It has even been said that the remaining eight Articles of Impeachment are kept in reserve for the time when the " loyal" and black voters of the South shall have sent men of the STEVENS and BUTLER stamp into the Senate, so that a fresh vial of wrath may be opened ou the devoted bead of the man who dared to brave the Radicals. But this would be too much for the American people, who are already wearied and disgusted with the manifest virulence and selfish greed of the prosecu tion. ANDREW JOHNSON has never been a very popular man, not belonging to the class which caters for the applause of the crowd ; but the feeling of the country has endorsed the verdict of the Senate, and any attempt to renew the trial after such a manifest manoeuvre would produce a popular outburst of in dignation. The Convention has very ingeniously disposed of the difficulty about negro suffrage, which its mem bers knew very well was more unpopular in the North than in the South. They have resolved that the suffrage should be equal, but that the question of the particular conditions or terms on which it should be held belonged to each State. Reconstruction is only referred to iu general terms, the country being congratulated on the " assured success" of the policy of Congress and " the doctrine of Great Britain," as it is termed, respecting natu ralisation, is emphatically condemned. If the Chicago legislators had taken the trouble to read Lord STANLEY'S speech on this very question in the early part of the present session they might have spared themselves the trouble of fighting a shadow. The financial position of the United States is becoming so serious and important that we need not be surprised to find a large proportion of the twelve resolutions occupied by it. We are very glad that the Convention has had the courage and the honesty to declare openly its conviction, that the national honour requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the ut.r.o it good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted." This, it will be seen, refers to the dishonest evasion which some politicians proposed, by which while the interest of the debt should be paid in gold, as was stipulated, the debt itself should be paid in currency, or paper, now greatly depre ciated. Such an unfair interpretation of the vague wording of the Acts of Congress would be even more damaging to the national credit than open repudiation, and the recognition of the na tional obligation to keep faith with the national creditors not only in letter but in spirit does honour to the Chicago Convention. We wish the mem bers could have carried their financial wis dom a little further, and have denounced not as a crime, but as a blunder, those restrictive laws which press so heavily on American trade. The sixth resolution declares with great good sense that the best policy is to improve the national credit, so that money may be attained at easier rates than arc possible while repudiation is talked of ; but the fourth resolution, which declares that taxation should be reduced as soon as pos sible, is less easily obeyed. The high tariff which interested parties succeed in keeping up, and even threaten to raise, is a heavy burden to Ameri can trade and commerce, which it proposes to pro tect; while Chicago, a great commercial centre, might have learnt from Detroit, a city rapidly grow in wealth and importance, the evils which meddle- some legislation has produced in preventing the renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty. the two last resolutions are manifestly introduced with a view to conciliate the Hibernian heroes, and catch that Irish vote which has often done mischief enough in America. Foreign immigration, says the 11th resolution, should be fostered and encou raged by a liberal and just policy ; but the fact is, that the American working-classes are beginning to have a little too much of it. The 12th resolution informs the world at large that the Convention sympathises with all the oppressed peoples who are struggling for their rights, including, of course, the heroes of Clerkenwell and excluding the rebels of Charleston. The Standard maintains it is quite too late now to reopen the question as to the site of the courts. But, whatever fresh delay such a step may in volve, it is absolutely indispensable that there should be an entirely new competition, the archi tects being at liberty, of course, to send in either their old plans or to alter and improve them as they think fit. The Po,vt holds that, for aesthetic reasons alone, there should be no hesitation in choosing the embankment as the site for the new Jaw courts ; but what will be thought of those who obstinately cling to the old idea because it is an old idea, when the public learn that by taking the site of the embankment there would be a saving of nearly a million ? The ground now in posses sion of the Government can be sold for its full value, or even for more than the price originally paid ; the approaches to the new embankment are already made to the north and south ; those to the east and west may be taken out of the length of 1,100 feet, which is more than is required for the building, and the land and houses can be purchased for less than £1,400,000. In the face of these facts can it be imagined that Lord John Manners repudiates Mr. Cochrane's proposition ? And why? Not because the site at present determined on is the best, but because it is a pity to unsettle anything once arranged, and a change of place may involve a delay of two or three years. It is really quite impossible to treat such an argument seriously. When we are about to spend millions, when we have spent millions to adorn the metro polis, is a delay of two or three .years worth con sidering ? LATEST INTELL WINCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) -*.

The New Free Press of to-day publishes the scheme for the reorganisation of the army, which has been definitely agreed upon by the Govern ment, and will very shortly be laid before the Reichsrath and the Hungarian Diet. The :chief features of this scheme have been already publicly stated. The most important new item has reference to the future strength of the army, which the Government pro poses to fix for the ensuing ten years at 800,000 soldiers, and the entire Landwehr to number 200,000 men. By the adoption of this scheme the constitutional right of the Reichs rath, and the Hungarian Diet to modify these numbers every year is not prejudiced. The Government Bill proposes also that, so far as relates to administrative questions, the Land wehr is to be placed under the control of the Minister for the defence of the country, bet the Commander in-Chief of the Lanc:wehr will decide all nalitary questions. In times of war, however, the Com mander-in-Chief of the Army will command the Landwehr. The Minister of War for the Empire it to be informed at all times of the general state, the equipment, and changes Of station of the Landwehr. THE BOMBAY MAIL. MESSINA, June 2.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern on Friday ; Mr. J . Delahunty in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the affairs of the company had re cently progressed favourably, as matters long in dispute with the Waterford and Limerick Company, respecting the station at Waterford, and the Great Southern and Western Railway Company respect ing traffic facilities at Maryborough, bad been brought so far to a conclusion ; but he was in hopes that through booking and other facilities now with held would be conceded by the latter company. Soon after the directors took the working of the line into their own hands they found they had enormous difficulties to contend with. The rolling stock of the company, which hal been in the hands of the Waterford and Limerick Company for some years, had become so depreciated as to have fallen in value from £15,000 to about half that amount. The per manent way had also been allowed to fall into a bad state, but since the line had come into the hands of the directors they had obtained £20,000 worth of new rolling stock into good working order. They had now plenty of rolling stock to work the traffic efficiently, and they hal commenced the fishing of the rails, which, with new sleepers, and other improvements, would add materially to the stability of the permanent way. The fishing of the rails would be accomplished at a moderate cost, and amply repay them for the outlay. The bill before Parliament would enable the company to dispose of the rent charge of £l,OOO a year now paid to them by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, and when realised would supply them with means to pay for the new rolling stock. The bill would also authorise the company to raise £lO,OOO on debentures to renew and replace wooden bridges with iron. The London and North-Western Company w ere now extending their line of commu nication to Milford-haven, which would make it their interest to develope traffic to that place as well as the Great Western. The Kilkenny Company was perfectly free to make arrangements with the English companies for the mutual interchange and development of traffic by means of steamers. (Hear, hear.) It would be their duty to declare a dividend on the preference stock, but the payment of it would be deferred for a short time until the com pany had the funds available. The motion for the adoption of the report, after some conversation, was agreed to ; and the divi dend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the preference stock was declared. The meeting was then made special, and a formal resolution approving the company's bill now before Parliament was adopted. SLEAFORD AND BOURN. The Board of Trade has declined to grant a war rant for the abandonment of this line. GRIND JUNCTION CANAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Surrey-street, Strand ; Mr. Anderson in the chair. The report stated that the net receipts for the half-year ending December last amounted to £31,042, being a decrease of £2,053 as compared with the same half of 1866. The generally depressed state of trade would account for the decreased re ceipts. The profits of the company for the half year, after payment of the usual interest on the preference stock, amounted to £22,929. This, added to the unappropriated balance brought for ward from the preceding half-year, amounted to £27,848. Notwithstanding the depression of trade, the net receipts of the past half-year would admit of the same dividend being paid as in the preceding half-yeai.. It was proposed to declare a dividend of £2 per share, free of income-tax, on 11,329, shares original stock, which would absorb £22,658 payable on the 15th inst., leaving a balance of £5,190 to be carried forward. The works of the canal were in fair worleng order, and the whole of the reservoirs were nearly full of water. The report was adopted, and the dividend re commended was declared. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. LIFE BRIGADES.—Captain Robertson, R N., of the Board of Trade, has just completed his annual inspec tion of the Voluoteor Life Brigades on the north-eastern coast, established for the rescue of shipwrecked seamen: The corps are composed of young men of all classes of the community, and have been found in a high state of effi ciency. The Tynemouth, South Shields, and Cullercoats Life Brigades have clubhouses admirably fitted up, and compt3te arrangements are made for the reception and restoration of shipwrecked men immediately they are landed from wrecks. The movement was commenced at Tyne mouth a few years ago, and is gradually extending to other large seaports and fishing villages. It has the hearty sup port and co-operation of the Board of Trade.

As I mentioned yesterday, the Pays had the sensation story about the conspiracy against the Emperor all to itself. The Siecle makes merry this morning at the expense of its Imperialist contemporary. "It was not," says the Siccle, "one of those bad journals, propagators of false news," which made the announcement, but M. Granier de Cassagnac's Journal de l'Empire. If the Pays has blue• dered, why may not less fortunate journals blunder without intention, malignant or otherwise? The Liberte tells a good story of the Empress. When she was at Rouen on Sunday she asked M. Ansel, deputy for Havre, to give her a glass of cider. As she had a few minutes before drunk some champagne, the deputy replied that he feared the two drinks would disagree with her Majesty. "Is it for my head or my stomach that you are afraid ?" asked the Empress. " For your stomach, madame." " I am not afraid, then ; I have a stomach as strong as a sailor's ;" and so a great glass of cider was brought and quaffed at one draught, to the great delight of the Rouen- Dais, who felt complimented by this Imperial approval of their local beverage. This visit appears to have been very successful. The crowd was enormous, the reception enthusiastic ; the only drawback was the want of arrange ments for keeping back the throng. On one occasion the Imperial party were completely blocked, and the Emperor himself had to ask the people to make way. At the cathedral the clergy, at the request of the Archbishop, gaVe their Majesties a cheer with one voice. On leaving Rouen the Emperor told the Prefect that he expected to see him again soon, as he would shortly be going to Havre. The International Maritime Exhibition at that place was opened yesterday.. It has not been got up, as most concerns of the kind in France are, by the Government, but chiefly by a local gentleman of influence, M. Nicolle. He has received only a small grant from the department of Marine. The exhibition is situated on a large piece of waste land. close to the . sea - shore. It re minds one of the Paris Exhibition, and, like that, has gardens and cafds surrounding it. There is also a large aquarium, as there was in the Champ de Mars. Of course, the agent of the Bible Society was there giving away tracts and otherwise enjoying himself. Several English and American officers in uniform were in the crowd. The opening took place at two o'clock, and was signalised first by an orchestral performance of the overture from " Romeo and Juliette." Then there were speeches—some far too . long. Then an ode was sung, and was rapturously received, especially the verses speaking of " the vessel of Progress," which made the audience rise en mane half a dozen times. In the evening there was a grand dinner, at which 350 persons were present, and paid 30f. a head. The weather was magnificent. I understand that the sale of tickets has already reached £12,000, and the sale of catalogues £l,OOO. I should add that among the articles exhibited are all matters relating to the fisheries, with models of fishing vessels, pleasure-boats, and an America indiarubber lifeboat. Prince Napoleon is expected at Vienna on the 6th. He is travelling incognito, and has therefore declined to avail himself of the Palace of Schonbriinn, which had been offered him by the Emperor. He will stay with our ambassador, the Duke de Gramont. But though travelling incognito, the Prince does not object to attending grand dinners got up in his honour. The Empress Charlotte of Mexico is somewhat better, but is subject to periodical attacks of insanity. These come on after taking food, and so the unhappy princess always retires after her meals, that no one may see her. On the occasions when her sisters in-law dine with her she eats nothing. She has written to several persons in Paris who formerly were in her suite. She speaks in enthusiastic terms of the heroic end of her husband. She has sent her old friends a picture, representing on the one side the Emperor dressed as a sailor, holding up a Mexican flag, and sink ing with his vesel in the midst of the waves ; on the other side are written the words of the gospel read at the last mass which he attended. They were sadly prophetic : "The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." M. Auguste Vermorel, of the suppressed Courrier Francais, is now undergoing punishment in the prison reserved for political offenders, and he publishes in to-day's Liberte the first of a series of letters to M. Emile de Girardin, entitled " Lettres de Sainte-Magic." This one is partly political, partly philosophical, and by no means lively. The Emperor is just now a good deal interested about the state of the asylums for the insane, concerning which there have been some very unfavourable revelations lately. It is hoped that shortly there will be a sweeping reform. It is sorely needed. The latest novelty in Paris is a velocipede club. There was a grand race with these vehicles at Saint Cloud on Sunday, and medals were given to the successful compe titors. A very remarkable article on " The Finances of the Second Empire," written by 111. Cochut, appears in the new number of the " Revue des Deux Mondes." The writer has taken the trouble to ascertain all the sums which the Government has raised, exclusive of taxation, from 1832 to 1868, and chiefly by means of loans. They amount to the enormous sum of £172,900,000, giving an average of over £10,000,000 a year borrowed in seventeen years. During the same period the Government has in creased its yearly burdens by over £10,300,000. In addition to these national burdens, the Parisians have become responsible for further enormous amounts. In a pamphlet just published by M. Jules Ferry it ap, pears that the great embellishments of Paris have been divided into three networks, which have already cost 40 millions sterling, while the annexation of the suburbs, the construction in old Paris of public buildings, markets, churches, &c., have cost another sum of equal amount. The liabilities of the city are now 28 millions sterling. It has been found impossible to repay a loan contracted with the Cr6dit Foncier, and Baron Haussmann is obliged to apply to the Corps Legislatif for a measure of indemnity for having illegally contracted the loan, and for authorising the repayment in sixty, instead of ten, years as agreed upon. These enormous figures show how con vinced Napoleon is of the necessity of keeping the work ing class employed. By these improvements he has obtained two objects at the same time, both tending to establish his power. He has disarmed the enmity of what has always been the most dangerous class in France, the OUrriCrS; and he has so altered Paris strategically, that in the event of a revolution barricades would be impos sible, and his troops and artillery could sweep the city from end to end. The three bills which have lately passed the Italian Cham ber give Italy £-1,200,000 additional revenue ; but much more than this is wanted. Unfortunately, Italian deputies do not understand the urgency of the financial position, and such large numbers of them absent themselves on account of the great heat, that it is difficult to get business trans acted. Why does not General Menabrea import from England an ex-Lord of the Treasury or two, with instruc tions to make a house, keep a house, and cheer the Minis ter? There is many an English M.P. who would under take the matter for a consideration. Count Cambray Digny would find the outlay repaid a hundred times. , Mr. Roupell, the ex-honourable member for Lambeth, seems to have his counterpart in Italy. In the sitting of the Italian Chamber on the 26th ult., the President an nounced that M. Genero, deputy for Susa, had resigned his' seat on account of certain accusations brought against him before the Correctional Tribunal of Turin. The resig nation was accepted, and the college of Susa declared vacant. It now appears that the accusation is of a very serious nature, nothing less than the forgery of banknotes. M. Genero is accused of forming part of an association of that kind, and the Public Prosecutor had written to the President of the Chamber to ask his authority to proceed against him. To avoid scandal, Deputy Genero was urged and induced to resign by the men of the party with which he habitually voted. A Turin paper now informs us that his house has been searched, and himself arrested and im prisoned. There have been disturbances at Palermo. A telegram from FlorPnce states that they were caused by some mer chants refusing to receive some false bronze money which had been put in circulation. Order has been restored. Baron Meysenburg, the diplomatist who has been sent to Borne by the Austrian Government in order to depre cate the displeasure of the Pope with respect to the aboli tion of the Concordat, has been received by his holiness " very benevolently." The Florence correspondent of the Times considers that Brindisi must inevitably become the port of departure for the cverland mails. Ire says : "It is a geographical necessity that our communications with India should be through Italy, and neither the Marseilles interest, nor the French railway interest, nor any of the various pressures, direct and indirect, brought to bear against it can possibly suffice long to retard the change. There has been talk lately of a project fur sending the India mails vitt Ostend and Germany, over the Brenner Pass, so as to set at nought the opposition offered in France to an alteration which would be a great benefit, not only to Great Britain as the mistress of India, but to all those numerous persons in Europe and America who trade or .correspond with the East. Brindisi must make its way, and become the port of embarkation for letters, passengers, and such costly articles of merchandise as will bear the expense of an overland journey. Meanwhile we hear of the approaching establishment there of a telegraphic agency which will undertake to forward news and private •despatcbes directi9R AB' • rAtm Irani HER MAJESTY. BALINIORAL CASTLE, May 31. The Queen, Princess Louise, and Prince Leo pold attended Divine service in the parish church, Crathie. The Duchess of Athole and Col. Ponsonby were in attendance. The Princess of Wales drove out yesterday, ac companied by the Crown Prince of Denmark. THE HORSE-SHOIV. The takings at the Agricultural Hall fur the first two days of the horse-show have been £4O more than for the same period last year. Inasmuch as the principal attractions have been reserved until the closing days of the exhibition, this early run of popularity is a most cheering sign. Yesterday the crowd gathered thickly round the ring and watched with interest, which occasionally turned to merri ment, the proceedings in that spacious arena. It is more than questionable whether the amusement which called forth so many bursts of laughter was of the right sort. If, instead of a trial of prize hun ters at fencing, this had been a donkey-race, or some clownish competition in which rough humour is an essential ingredient, the shouts of mirth would not have seemed inappropriate or uncomplimen tary. As it was, the riding and deriding which went so closely together were hardly well matched. The horsemen who lost their stirrups, their tem per, and now and then their seats, were bold equestrians certainly, or they would not have ven tured on a public display of such remarkable in competence. Some of them, with a grave per sistency that was ludicrous to see, but is painful to think of, rode again and again at hurdles which there was the least likelihood of their ever getting over, and seemed to be rather stimulated than dis couraged by the re-echoing peals of laughter in their repetition of a wild rush, ending always in a sudden stop on the near side of the fence. Others belaboured their horses with heavy hunting crops over the bead, on the cheek, anywhere, like mad tailors out for a holiday. Two or three rolled on the tan, as a matter of course. One performer seemed never tired of doing a very funny thing, which may be described as jumping a fence by two instalments. First he made his horse quietly put both forelegs over the lowest of the hurdles, and then he proceeded gently to persuade the animal that, having got thus far, it really might be about ►s good a thing as could be done to bring over the hied legs too. The whole of this solemn feat was executed in so leisurely a manner, to the uproarious and unbounded delight of the spectators, that the horse, before beginning to go over the fence, had time to take refreshment, by browsing the green top of the obstacle ; and he generally carried away a branch in his mouth, as a token and reward of meritorious exertion. 1 11 striking contrast to the bad and indifferent equita tion, yesterday, was the cool, brave, and skilful riding of a little boy, who first mounted one of the hunting cracks, and took all his jumps with an ease and certainty, a courage and judgment, perfectly admirable. After winning as much applause as might have satisfied a prima donna, he guided his big steed, as a shepherd might have guided a lamb, out of the arena, presently to return on a mercurial little pie-bald pony, just up to his weight. Thus newly mounted, the child-rider took flying leaps, every one of which was as deservedly as it was rap turously cheered by the spectators above and below. lie was never at fault; he never swerved for a moment from any intention he had once formed, and he gave his horse no time to dispute the matter with him. Over he must go, and over he went, sure enough, and to the astonishment sometimes of the animal that carried him. Once the little dancing piebald pony turned round and gave ais black head a bit of a shake, as he looked at th 0 ligh furze he had just cleared, as much as to say, Come, now ; I think that will do for the present. f shan't try that game any more." There were a few manly riders who rode like men well practised in the management of a horse. There were three occupants of side-saddles who were tolerated rather than approved, and whose attempts to lift their horses over the obstacles in the arena were imper fectly successful at the best. Man or woman, there was no rider yesterday fit to hold a stirrup for the little boy who first bestrode the big hunter, and then came dancing on the restless piebald pony. The feeling of dissatisfaction with the award of first prize to the Prince of Wales's white Arab mare seems to have been somewhat propitiated. Rupee was well received yesterday when she entered the ring and was put through her paces. She is a very beautiful Arab, with an action as easy as a rocking chair, and a temper as gentle as—well, there is no temper that is gentler than a horse's, after all. She is a lady's horse, in fact, worthy to carry a princess ft is a pity to observe that her tail and mane have bee❑ trimmed out of all Arab character ; but there are far worse cases of docking and mutilating in the show—cases that Sir Edwin Laudseer, had he been one of the judges, would have severely censured. An Arab horse's tail should droop and taper, like a iilken tassel, to a point. No horse's tail should be cropped square as a Dutch hedge trimmer would crop a yew. Some of the park hacks and ponies ,re woefully disfigured in this manner ; while Rupee has undergone but a trifling loss of natural beauty. Her Royal owner is expected to visit the hall this day. On Friday competitions for prizes oy jumpers and trotters will take place, severa l ,loted horses having been kept back for this specia l show. Exhibitors in the galleries and arcade mils tlmost wish the scenes in the arena were not e° attractive as they are. But there is yet already 3 ,teady attendance in the carriage departmen t / where several new and improved forms are shore. :among them are various light and serviceable vehicles, built by Windover, of American hickory old steel ; so that strength is insured with a min i " alum of weight. Mr. Wiudover exhibits a nevi wheel, exceedingly simple and free from liability t° .;et out of repair. His carriages are of elegan t Thape, and the entire substitution of steel for iroa :sables him to reduce the size and consequo t weight of springs and other metal work. When Walter Scott visited Paris in 1815, two or three months after the battle of Waterloo, on° of the things which struck him most was the Rue le la Paix, which had just changed its name froth the Rue de I'Empereur, " a fine street, which 11 ° 6 only boasts a breadth corresponding to the inagni acence of its buildings, but is actually acconarOci dated with two gutters, one on each side, in stead of the kennel in the centre where the filth floats. °t stagnates, in all the other streets of Paris." 1311 ,„ among the proofs of extravagances of expense low, which his ambition to distinguish himself h urried him, and which the Parisians of that day thoug h t unnecessary, the construction of this magnificei re street seemed to Sir Walter not the least rend able. The Rue de la Paix will no longer be Cl as the finest street of Paris.

The name of " Rue do la, pair will b ° vial disappear, and the new thoroughfare no sailed the " Avenue de Napoleon."
