At the close of a wearisome session it must have been a welcome change to the Premier and his col leagues to meet with so cordial a reception at the Mansion House as was afforded to them last night. The affair had been put off in consequence of the very great pressure of public business, and there fore there were not quite so many present as was first anticipated ; but the company was a brilli ant one, and Mr. DISRAELI was loudly cheered on his arrival. In proposing the toast of the evening the Lord Mayor made a few felicitous observa tions. It is, as he said, one of the privileges of the Lord Mayor to entertain her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and although they had not the satisfaction now of welcoming the Earl of DERBY as the First Lord of the Treasury, the noble lord could have had no worthier or more fitting successor than the right hon. gentleman now at the head of the Govern ment, The Lord Mayor said very truly that a large and influential section of the citizens of Lon don, as well as of the country in general, value and appreciate the administrative talents of the Pre mier, and all must admire " the manly eloquence, tact, good temper, and prudence with which he conducts the debates of the House of Commons, which in no small degree contributed to his success in carrying the Reform Bill through Parliament in so triumphant a manner." Mr. DisaaELfs speech was a great success, and it was re ceived with enthusiasm throughout. In the first place, he said that these assemblies were always most agreeable ones, and it was a pleasure to all states men to meet their countrymen there. It is no light thing for them to have their names mentioned with respect and regard by the chief Magistrate of the City, and received with cordiality by those assembled at those festivities. On many former occasions the right hon. gentleman has had the opportunity of meeting the citizens of London, but never, he declared, had he more pleasure than last ni g ht, and his colleagues, he felt sure, must share with him in the feelings of gratification he expe rienced. The Ministers are now on the eve of closing a critical Session of Parliament, and appeal ing to their countrymen, in the hope that they may affirm they have done their duty. At any rate no Nlinister need now think that the position of the country is one to be ashamed of. Of course no one need be surprised that the Premier did not affirm that the commercial world had recovered its tone or recovered from the great depression which weighed it down. Many causes may contribute, however, to the gradual and complete restoration of the credit of this country ; and this prolific harvest, which has Fortunately been the portion, not only of our country, but of all the world, is the surest source of wealth and prosperity. Mr. DISRAELI ought to be a good judge, and he assured his hearers at the Mansion-house that there were signs of our ap proaching the end of the great depression under which we have so long suffered, and may thus again expect to enter upon that enterprise and progress which are the "normal characteristics" of British industry. Respecting our foreign relations there is nothing to complain of. Our relations with the Powers of Europe are all that can be desired, and as for the subjects of misunderstanding with America they have been greatly exaggerated, and are near a so lution in the most satisfactory manner possible. Ireland even was regarded with equanimity by the right hon. gentleman, and its state, he declared, was one of complete tranquillity at present ; and it is worthy of notice that a long time bas passed since the authorities have felt any necessity to avail themselves of the provisions of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, to which, in common with their predecessors, they felt obliged to resort in a ease of emergency. Disquietude and discontent have, as we all know, prevailed to a great extent with regard to those subjects referred to by the right hon. gentleman, and there is much to call for our gratitude to PROVIDENCE that they have been happily removed from us, and that we approach a 'fore favoured season than many which have pre ee led this one. The close of a session generally gives rise to the trite remark that the time has been wasted, and that nothing has been done ; but Mr. DISRAELI is far too wary to be taken in by this, and he gave a very likely explanation of it, when he said that people were led to believe this from the hasty remarks too often made in Wednesday afternoon is usually devoted, in the Commons, to the discussion of questions of theory rather than practice, or at least the reforms which commend themselves to the convictions of the few, but have failed to impress the generality. Yester day Mr. HUGHES brought forward a topic which concerns us all more or less, and which he has be fore now enlarged upon, both in and out of Parlia ment. The condition of the laws relating to weights and measures is by no means satisfactory; it is un certain and inconsistent, and the inspectors are often careless. Our tradesmen are not sufficiently immaculate to be trusted to themselves in all cases, and Mr. lIUGHEs has often given offence to his constituents by speaking the truth more plainly than pleasantly on this subject. It is a disgrace to our London trade that false weights and measures should be so frequent, and of course, as a general rule, it is the poorer classes who are the most de frauded. Mr. HUGHES has given a good deal of attention to the matter, and if he can succeed in introducing a reform he will do good service to all parties. In Lambeth, he tells us, there are two inspectors of weights and measures, one of whom bad formerly been a policeman, and the other a man of much the same rank. They have a salary of £250 a year, and they take half the penalties im posed, so that as the fines lash year amounted to £1,200 their income is by no means inconsiderable. Mr. HUGHES complains that there is no proper system of management. No evidence is taken of the number of times which a person charged has offended, although his guilt would, of course, be much affected by it. Mr. HUGHES stated that he knew of 120 cases which had been decided in little more than four hours by fines of 55., 26 of these persons being fined for having their weights too heavy. If the inspectors derive so much profit from the fines imposed, of course they are not likely to be lenient, but it is not a little absurd to fine a man the same amount for cheating himself as for cheating his neighbour. Again, the management of the standards is very unsatisfactory. Mr. HUGHES declared that a day or two ago he had held in his hand one of the secondary standards, which had been set right by soldering a piece of lead on the bottom. This is a dangerous example, to say the least of it, to set to tradesmen, who may naturally begin setting their own weights to rights in the same way. Mr. HUGHES says, with reason, that the standard at the Board of Trade should be verified every ten years, and the secondary standards, considering the wear and tear to which they are subjected, should be verified at least once a year. it is not fair to traders to sanction a variation between the Board of Trade standard and the secondary standards which is not allowed between their measures and any standard at all. The publicity for which Mr. HUGHES contends would certainly be a great pro tection to the public. It would advance the interests of the honest dealer and impose a much stronger check on the dishonest tradesman than the dread of any fine, however heavy, could do. At present neither the names nor thkircumstances of the conviction are published in most cases, and " there is no knowing," says Mr. HUGHES, " whether weights are a drachm or an ounce too light, or whether, as in some cases, they are too heavy." Mr. CAVE, we are glad to find, con curred in the general tenour of the remarks of the hon. gentleman for Lambeth, and promised atten tion to some of the more pressing points. The Vice-President of the Board of Trade observed that there was a great difficulty in the way of properly punishing the offenders. The poor people who deal at their shops are often heavily in debt to them, and consequently are under their power. We hope that, nevertheless, some mcaus will be adopted to make their offences public, since those who can escape from their clutches will then scarcely fail to do so, Almost simultaneously with the news that Mr. BANKS'S Bill has been passed by both Houses of Cungress comes the Prime Minister's declaratioi, that every day brings about a better understanding between the British and American Governments.

His Imperial Majesty has greatly benefited by the relaxation. On Tuesday, a boy, named Thomas Gollagher, 12 years of age, residing in Hale's-entry, High-street, Hull, was in a boat on the Humber, in company with Thomas Il'Gee, and when about 500 yards from the pier the boat upset, and Gollagher was drowned. The body has not yet been recovered. The great rifle meeting, now being held at Vienna, was expected to produce some political demonstration ; but, owing to the prudence of the Government, it is likely to pass off very quietly. A little anti-Prussian ferment was beginning► to shew itself, but the Ministers have allowed it to evaporate by not taking part in the meeting. As Count Bismarck absented himself from the banquet held at the close of the Customs Parliament, and thus avoided a share in the Pan-Germanic manifestation, so Baron Beust has gone to the waters of Gastein to escape a like difficulty. The success of the Prussian landwehr system has infected all Europe with a desire to imitate it. Turkey has asked the Prussian Government to place at its dis posal a certain number of officers to assist in organising a landwehr. Operations are to be commenced in Bosnia and Bulgaria. Is the Porte quite sure that a citizen army will be as useful and as tractable in Turkey as in Prussia? If the Bulgarians are all converted into soldiers, the Government of Constantinople may be confronted by something more serious than brigandage. Parliament is just expiring, and its chief ornament, Mr. Bearden, rises to the grandeur of the occasion. He is going to parade the Train grievance once more before the House, and has a question on the paper to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland. It is about the assumed Illegality of Train's imprisonment. But this is not all. He proposes no less than to bring in a bill fur the amendment of the Act of Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland, the establishment of a Federal Parliament and independent Legislature in Ireland, the separation of the national debts and revenues of the two countries, and the responsibility of each country for its own debt and its reduc tion. If the" hour and the man have come," the individual and the time are equally eccentric ; and if the House of Com mons of 1869 should be lucky enough to keep its doors shut against such men as the Piccadilly hero, we hope that it will not be said of him, as it has been said of departed great ones, that though his place knows him no more, his spirit and his influence guide the deliberations of that august assembly. The old plan under which the party committee selected the candidate for their constituency, arranged all matters, and left the rank and file to " vote straight," seems likely to be abandoned in some cases at the next election. Notably the Liberals of East Cornwall have rejected the decision of their leaders. Calling attention to this case, a " West Country Liberal," protests in the Daily News against those party compromises of which this was an example. He is confident that the Liberals are in an overwhelming majority in the division, and yet the Liberal committee would have allowed Mr. Kendall, a Conservative, to walk over the course. Unfortunately for himself, Mr. Kendall has made himself unpopular with some of his constituents by what he has done in the matter of local rates. So there were not wanting at the party caucus those who wished to have him ousted at the next election. Mr. Bridges Williams was therefore requested to come forward. Here is the moral of the story, as read by the writer of the let ter :—" When we see the Tories attacking every possible Liberal seat for the purpose of maintaining a Disraeli Government in power, the Liberals, either, in county or town constituencies, who consent to a joint representa tion ' for the sake of peace,' are guilty of a grave derelic tion of duty." Financial reformers are just now very hard at work trying to raise the cry of "Retrenchment." On the whole, however, their efforts are distinct failures. Notwith ' standing that the cry is a decidedly " taking " one—for who would not like to have his outcomings reduced ?—the band is small that gathers around the old flag. They are enthusiastic enough it is true, but will hardly exercise much influence in the coming elec tions. Mr. Noble, the secretary of the Finan cial Reform Association, is agitating in the " Black Country " in favour of a reduction of ten millions of our present expenditure. A meeting at the new borough of Wednesbury pledged itself to support no candidate who would not make financial reform a prominent feature of his political creed ; and other meetings are being held throughout the country which are asked to pass the same resolution. There is a literary controversy started in the columns of the Tinter which bids fair to rival the Miltonic dispute in importance. Mr. Lowe having stated in the House of Commons that the book of Jasher had been d; covered in Abyssinia, a correspondent writes to our contemporary to say that the third chapter of Genesis is taken from this book. Probably both statements are equally wild. No one knows anything about this book except that it is quoted twice in Holy Scripture (Joshua x. 3 ; 2 Samuel i. 18). Much conjecti re has been bestowed upon it, and it is supposed to hare been a] collection of Hebrew minstrelsy, or record of patriotic and warlike deeds. The clergy are already in the field. Mr. M`Caul contributes a letter, and Dr. Irons writes a peremptory epistle, calling upon the critic who attri butes the third chapter of the Book of Genesis to the author of the Book of 'Usher to explain himself. Here is a fine field for conjecture.

The Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, no quartered at the Sheet-street barracks, Windsor, is expected to leave for Chelsea barracks about the 12th of August. It will be relieved by the 2d Battalion of the same regiment. The annual military sports and athletic games by the officers and troops of the Ist and 2d Depo t Battalions at Chatham garrison were held on Chat ham lines on Tuesday afternoon, under the patron age of Major-General Freeman Murray, command' ing the division. The stewards and managers of the games were Captain R. T. P. Cuthbert, 15th Regiment ; Captain J. J. Heywood, Ist Royals Captain H. Echalaz, 2d Royals ; Captain W. J• Watson, Bth Regiment, and Lieut. J. H. Campbell , 109th Regiment, assisted by a committee of non commissioned officers. The sports consisted of run" wing, leaping, jumping, flat and hurdle races, with other athletic games, for various prizes in cups and money, the amount of the latter given away exceed ing £2O, both officers and men competing in the various games. The number of spectators was very large. The trial of Capt. Moncrieff's gun-carriage 011 the protected barbette system will not be made at Shoeburyness so early as was anticipated. Th e whole of next week will be set apart to carry 011 V the competition for prizes by Artillery Voluntee r corps under the regulations of the National Artillery Association, as many as 75 gun detachments having entered from various corps throughout the 'Unite d Kingdom. Lieut. Thomas and Lieut. Lister, of the 32d Ile' giment, are under Horse Guards orders to proceed from the depot at Colchester to the service con' panics in the Mauritius. Staff Surg. Ramsey, 0f the Bth Depot Battalion, transferred to the 7 5 t h Regiment, is held in immediate readiness to eraha rlg for Gibraltar to join his regiment. The head-quarters and five squadrons of t he 17th Lancers, under the command of Col. Drury Lowe, are under orders to move from Woolwich t 4 Hounslow on the 4th of next month, the barracks having undergone repairs for their reception. T he regiment bas been held in great estimation is Woolwich garrison, and much reg r et is felt th at they should so soon be leaving. The Royal Artil lery barracks has a fine range of buildings for th e accommodation of a cavalry regiment, and fronl i. proximity to London it is surprising that a regi ment is not always quartered at this station, V s; sessing, as it does, a fine common for drill, and the advantages of acting in concert with the itd,, Horse Artillery at reviews, or being brigaded W it ' them for the purposes of exercise.

The Pope has decided the question as regards Napo leon 111., and an invitation will be sent to the Tuileties ; but the Holy Father hesitates about the Emperor of Austria, whom many of the cardinals and prelates have united with the Jesuits in urging him to exclude. This faction rtoegathrdes council e h E eu mp th e- e rsoeres a difficulty asofAustria in excionmvimtiuungicated ; but the Pope " very Christian " and passing over the " apostolic" potentate. As for Victor Emmanuel, nobody mentions his name. The improvement in the weather has rendered it possible to put the troops in camp through some manoeuvres, which in a few days were conducted on a large scale, the first division, though under orders to return to Rome, being detained for the purpose. The spectacle attracted to the camp a number of visitors from Rome, and all agreed that the evolutions were well performed, and that the soldiers were in good condition. Some vexation is felt at the delay in the supply of the Spencer and Remington breech-loaders, but whether the blame rests with the committee or the contractors is not clear. We have reason to believe that Mr. Du Cane, M.P. for North Essex, and Junior Lord of the Ad. wiralty, has accepted the Government of Tasmania. .11r. Du Cane has been very assiduous in his attend ance not only in Parliament, but at the Admiralty, and will carry with him to Tasmania an acquaint ance with public affairs and a readiness in the dis tharge of official business which cannot fail to be of tdvantage to the colony. A vacancy will be created in North Essex by Mr. Du Cane's appointment. The Royal Archx:ological Institute commenced At annual col:isms on Tuesday at Lancaster, REMARKS. Atmospherical pressures are more uniform this morning, and readings are generally high, shewing an increase during the last twenty-four hours of more than three-tenths of an inch at most stations. In the south of Ireland the change since yesterday has been less, and pressures there have remained a'most unaltered since last evening. On the western coasts temperature has risen : elsewhere not much change has occurred. The north-westerly gale prevailing yesterday in the south of Ireland and England has moderated : light and variable winds are now general in these islands. At Rochefort and Toulon a northerly gale is blowing ; but at Biarritz, as yesterday the gale is from the westward. The weather is generally fine. Fog prevails on the south coast of Ireland. The Archbishop of Canterbury has left Adding ton Park for the Continent. He will be absent from England six or eight weeks. THE BISHOP OF WIN CHESTER. —The Right Rev.

Patti, on the occasion of her marriage with the Marquis de Caux, was a very handsome and beautifully-executed arabesque pendant, composed of pearls, diamonds, and large turquoise, with enamelled scrolls, suspended from a large gold chain, and was the gift of Signor Mario ; also a pair of very large and hand some gold and coral pendant earrings, the pendants being formed of coral about two inches in length, carved in the shape of Etruscan vases, with festoons, the top being formed of gold, with a solid carved coral bull's head, and were formerly in the possession of the Queen of Naples. These were the gift of Madame Grisi. MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF Two GIRLS. —On Tues day two girls, named Elizabeth Cridge and Jane Maker, in the employ of Mr. B. Hawkins, a farmer, of Huntspill were found drowned a short distance from the Sea-wall, in a pond. It appears that on Sunday evening last they retired to rest earlier than usual, and it is supposed that they went up one flight of stairs and came down another, and thus made their escape from the house unknown to anyone. On Monday morning they were both missing, and though every effort was made to trace their where abouts, it was unsuccessful ; but on Tuesday, at mid-day, a boy discovered one of their crinolines by the side of the pond, and upon search being made the bodies were dis covered "hand in hand." They were then conveyed, one to her home and the other to the Cross Keys Inn. The cause of their committing suicide remains a mystery at present ; full particulars will, there is no doubt, be forth coming at the coroner's inquest. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A RAILWAY STATION. —A fatal accident occurred at the railway station at Hartle bury, on Monday night, through want of caution. A harvest man, named Thos. Hunt, belonging to Kidderminster,was in company with arother man, named Thos. Coyne, and they had occasion to cross the line just as the express down train was due. It runs between Droitwich and Kidder minster without stoppage, and passes Hartlebury at a speed of from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour. The men were aware of the approach of the train, and Coyne told his companions not to attempt to cross the line. He went on, however, crying out there was plenty of time. It was a dark night, and Coyne surmised that Hunt had got safely across, and gone on his way to the place they were both intending to proceed to. He found on his arrival that Hunt liad not appealed; and a search being made on the line revealed the fact that the poor fellow had been killed by the train. His skull was crushed off, and one of his arms was picked up some eighteen yards from his body. Neither the driver nor guard had perceived that the train had been in contact with anything in passing through the station. Deceased was 25 years of age. The deputation from the city of Trieste has not been very warmly received by the Austrian Minister of the Interior. He did, indeed, grant the request of the deputa tion to make an inquiry into the late riots, but he refused the abolition of the Slavonian civic guard, and its replace ment by a municipal body. Dean Stanley writes to the Times protesting against the removal of St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, which is so much abused, as spoiling the proportions of West minster Abbey. He defends the church chiefly on account of its " long historical existence on this spot." There is another point, however, of more importance in connection with Westminster Abbey to which the Dean alludes. Every one knows that the space allotted in the Abbey to the graves and monuments of illustrious men is yearly becom ing more and more narrow. Everyone would lament that within any conceivable period of time this long connection of English history with Westminster Abbey should cease. True, the Abbey is not yet filled. There are still places, and there will for at least another generation be places, for the famous Englishmen who can be commemorated on no other spot so fitly as beneath its roof. But still we must look forward to the future, and for the future the provision is at once easy in itself. Such provision (says the very rev. writer) might easily be made by the erection of a cloister, which should be connected with the Abbey by Poet's Corner, and continued on the space behind Abingdon-street, facing the Palace of Westminster on one side and the College garden of the precincts of Westminster Abbey on the other. This arrangement would well fall in with the resto. ration of the Chapter House, now rapidly advancing towards its completion, and with the proposed change; which the Public Schools Bill ?a rei4lor necessary in WeitnliPitaCsiliegiite UN& ABYSSINIAN CURIOSITIES. g it3P" The most interesting collection of Abi l- t ot curiosities which has been hitherto brought toge-sol in England is now being exhibited at the C r i a , $ Palace.
