The annual festival of the Newspaper Press Fund has now become one of the recognised features of the London season, and it usually numbers among its guests and supporters a goodly company of da anguished names. On Saturday evening the ban quet was presided over by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who showed that he knew how to value the pen as well as the sword ; and among the company were many members of both Houses, as well as men pro minent in art and literature, and belonging to the Fourth Estate itself. The newspaper press indeed stands in the gap between politics and literature. It bridges over the gulf which at one time used to divide the man of thought from the man of action, and by partaking of the qualities of both it harmonises and unites them to their mutual advantage. Politics have grown more enlightened and more elevated, literature has become more life-like and more practical, as the press grows in importance, and as the sense of its public services becomes more widely recognised it is natural that greater interest should be felt in the fortunes of its members. There must always, in every profession, be cases of ex ceptional misfortune of premature decay, of untimely death, and of other unavoidable calamities, which not only reduce the members of that profession from competence to poverty, but leave their families dependent for aid, and, per haps, even for support, upon the kindness of others. It has been felt that this ought not to be so fre quently the case, and a few persons connected with the press, and interested in its welfare, have organized a scheme by which men in their days of success and prosperity may provide for the cloud and the storm and those who are themselves raised above the fear of want may assist their less fortu nate brethren. It is after the custom to speak of the imprudence and extravagance of men of the artistic professions, but those who censure them forget that their incomes are extremely uncertain, and that it is difficult for them to make an ade quate provision for the future. The dramatic pro fession has shown that there is no lack of prudence amongst its members when once the way is opened for them, and the success which has already at tended the early meetings of the Newspaper Press Fund indicates, we may hope, its lasting and ex tended popularity. The progress which it has already made is most encouraging. The Chairman, in remarking upon the utility of the institution, observed that since its establishment in the year 1864 there have been enrolled 280 members, one-fourth of them being life members ; and up to the end of 1867 there was a sum of £4,000 invested in the funds, while 25 grants, varying in amount from £lO to £75 each, had been:made to members and their families. This is a very good beginning for so young a society, and the festival of Saturday will no doubt tend to raise it still further in the opinion of the public by showing the light in which it is regarded by men of weight and character. His Royal Highness, the chairman, said that he hoped his presence there would be taken as an indication of the interest and sympathy felt by the profession which be represented in the public press. Lord HouGwrox, the able and accomplished president of the institution, to whose kindly services and unfail ing sympathy it owes so inuch,sobserved that the royal duke had been prompt to recognise the importance of public opinion in this country.

SlR,—The events of the past few weeks have directed general attention to the improvement of our communications with the East. The success of the Mont Cenis Railway holds out the prospect of the early substitution of the route by Brindisi for that by Marseilles. So far, one step in the right direction will be accomplished. But the advantages of this change are as nothing when compared with those which we have it in our power to secure by the opening up of the Euphrates route from the Mediterranea❑ to the Persian Gulf. The substitution of the Brindisi route for that by Marseilles is spoken of as a " geographical neces sity." The truth of this is apparent enough to any one glancing at the map of Europe. But how much more obvious is it that the establishment of the Euphrates route is a " geographical necessity ?" The Brindisi route will shorten by a few hours the journey between England and India, while the Euphrates Railway would enable us to save upwards of seven days. And who can estimate the increased security which such a railway would afford for the integrity of the British Empire, or the importance of the commercial results which would accrue from it, not only to this country and her Eastern dependencies, but to the world at large ? Captain Tyler, R.E.,in his official report to his Grace the Duke of Montrose, Postmaster-General, on the subject of the Brindisi route, drew attention to " the still more important saving of time and distance" which would be obtained by the Euphrates Valley Railway ; pointing out, at the same time, that the navigation of the Persian Gulf to Bombay would be " far preferable to that via Suez and the Red Sea ;" and recommending the subject to the serious consideration of .the British Government on the ground of his strong conviction of " the im portant bearing that the construction of such a rail way would have, commercially and strategically, upon the British Empire." One would suppose tha'_ anything tending to the security of the British Empire, while at the same time promoting general prosperity, and thus afford ing the best guarantee for the peace of Europe, would require little argument to recommend it to the support and encouragement of British statesmen. A telegram published in the newspapers of the Ist inst., stated that a great battle had taken place between the Russians and Bokharians, resulting in the death of the Emir, and the capture of Bokhara by the Russians. Surely there is something of significance in this fresh proof of the gradual advance of the Russians in the direction of our Eastern frontier, something which should rouse us from our policy of inaction in regard to the Euphrates Railway. Are we to wait until events force upon us the adoption of the Euphrates route at a time when we may be obliged to undertake the construction of the railway at a vastly enhanced cost, and under circumstances involving the sacrifice of thousands of our soldiers? Are we never to learn wisdom from the dearly bought lessons of the past, and are we to rest for ever in a fatal apathy, content that England should be scoffed at by all the world as the great unready ? Three months ago I brought the subject of the Euphrates Railway, and my correspondence with Lord Stanley, and Sir Stafford Northcote regarding it, formally to the notice of the Viceroy and Go vernor-general of India, the governors of the Pre sidencies, and the principal chambers of commerce in India. I submit that the subject is one which it is the bounden duty of the press to advocate, or at least to discuss, and under that feeling I address these remarks to you.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, London, June 6, 1868. W. P. ANDREW. TO THE EDITOR OF IHE SUN. Sin,—A correspondent of the United Service Gazette says that the distinction of a laurel wreath now to be worn round the forage caps of the ser geants of the 8-Ith Regiment was originally con ferred upon that regiment in recognitio❑ of its gal lant conduct at the battle of Fontenoy, the emblem having only been discontinued to be worn since 1857. This suggests a. question concerning what would be, one would think, of some interest to our ,regiments. I have not an army list by me, but I be lieve I am correct in saying that, with the excep . . . _ tion of Flassy, a name which is written on the colours of the infantry regiment, whose motto is " Primus in Indus," no victory anterior to those won by England over the French Republic is em blazoned on the colours of any British regiment. Now, why should this be ? In France nearly all the ancient institutions of the country perished in the Revolution, and amongst them the army of the old monarchy. The revolutionary forces that, under General &naparte, broke into Italy were composed of newly-raised battalions, leavened with the dispersed cadres of the old royal army, and _ • the French regiments of to-day are not the regi ments that fought at Fontenoy any more than the modern departments of France are its ancient ter ritorial divisions. I even question whether many of the present French regiments are the regiments that served the great Napoleon. For instance, take the regiment of lancers, attired in Polish colours, that furnished the escort of the Czar on his entry ento Paris last year. I think —for I cannot speak for certain—that this is not one of the great Napo leon's famous regiments of so-called Polish lancers any more than the dukedom of Montmorency lately created by Napoleon 111. is the histo rical dukedom of that name, for, if I mistake not, th e greater part of the regim en t s f orming the present French Imperial Guard were constituted soon after the establishment of the second empire. The English regiments of to-day, however, are the regiments of yore. Some have changed their num bers and appellations, and the gentlemen of the Household Horse in 1788 handed over their colours to the Household Horse as at present constituted, but nearly all the regiments that serve Victoria served also her ancestors. A British regiment preserves a sort of military apostolic succession, the officers and men who at present compose it having rubbed shoulders with predecessors, who thereby transmitted to them rubs which had been transmitted to them selves through generations of officers and men from the members of the corps when just raised. Now among our regiments are corps two centuries old and thereabouts —the Foot Guards and the earlier foot and horse regiments of the line. Some of these, as their regimental records and tattered and ancient banners now hanging in cathedrals testify, won Marlborough's victories, and must have been present at Blenheim, Ramillies, and Malplaquet. Then why is it that the names of these great victories do not shine on their colours, as does the name of the contemporary victory of Turin on those of the Ist Prussian Grenadiers, a regiment of which the Crown Prince of Prussia is colonel, and to which (so we were informed by the Times correspondent) he sent a greeting on the occasion of his reviewing the garison of Turin dur ing his late visit to Italy? If Salamanca, Vittoria, Waterloo, why not Blenheim, Ramillies, and Mal plaquet ? Is it because their banners—for in stance those of the Ist Foot, fa:niliarly known in the service by the nickname of Pontius Pilate's Guards, by reason of its antiquity —are so covered with glory that they can not find room for any more ? But surely, if this be the case, the regiments inconvenienced with an excess of glory could be given an additional colour, or in time we may see the Peninsula victories crowded off the silken field by others gained in same future war. What I have called attention to, as well as a pro position brought forward some titne ago, of orna menting the regimental colour staff with a lion and crown, after the style of French eagles, which has, I believe, been in some cases acted upon, does not exactly involve so important a military reform as is at present associated with the name of Mr. Trevelyan. Indeed, in this age of breechloaders, and other analogous inventions of a generation utilitarian in war as in peace, the practice of a regiment carrying NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE. A GUA AMARELLA restores the Human Hair to its pristine hue, no matter at what age. JNO.

Red Bull Wharf, Angel-passage, 93, Upper Thames street, London, E.C. REMARKS. Pressure in the north of Scotland rose rapidly during Saturday, but Aince yesterday there has been but little change. Readings arenow generally high, and are highest in the south-west, but the reading at Skudesnaes •s !ow. TI e differe'ace Letwem pressures in the north of Scotland and 1.1 the south of Ireland is about four-tenths of an inch. Temperature has diminished generally since Saturday, and is now rather low for the season. On Saturday the wind freshened to a gale Oil the west coast of Scotland : since yesterday morning there has I,een a prevalence of north-westerly winds, and whic't were fresh on ur we ;tern and south-western coasts. The wind is still generally a rtl,-we •terly and moderate. The weather is cloudy. Rain has t.t a few places. The war rumours on the Continent are reviving. This " recrudescence" is due in great measure to Prince Napoleon's tour, and will be strengthened by the announce ment that his Imperial Highness has altered his plans, and will rema'm a week at Vienna. The Paris corre spondent of the Nord (a journal founded at the outbreak of the Russian war to support Russian interests, and pub lished at Brussels) is very explicit as to the time when hostilities may be expected to commence. This will not be before the new French loan and the close of the season. In short, we may hope to enjoy about two months more of peace. The views of the French Government, he de clares, are precisely defined on this point, and the Minis tern in their private conversations are agreed on the eventuality of a proximate war. Foreign political per sonages and competent military men regard the aringl menta and preparation 4 of France as ntclivitAus wan into battle a silk rag, fixed to a pole, as an object for the view of the enemy's marksmen, may, per haps, come to be dispensed with. I read in 1866, in the correspondence from the seat of war, in Ger many, that the Austrian regiments when they enter upou a campaign, deposit their colours in barracks, or some other safe place (!) in charge, I presume, of the girls they leave behind them. I will not vouch for the truth of the state ment, but certain it is that the custom of regiments bearing colours imposes upon the fortunate or un fortunate ensigns and cornets, whose privilege or misfortune it is to carry them in the field, a dan gerous distinction, as the accounts, made much of by poets, of standard-bearers being found dead on the battle -ground, covered with innumerable wounds, and with their colours wrapt round their breasts, demonstrate. In our service, however, regimental colours have notyet been relegated to the limbo which is the eventual destination of steel cuirasses, bearskin head coverings, and other monstrosities that form part of the pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war; as yet they are not, like the French cavalry bands, deemed as o: the impedimenta of war, so I have offered my remarks concerning them. If the suggestion they afford were acted upon it would give us a better system of military administration or education, but it would regild our ancient military glories in the eyes of the army that won them for us. We are not so attentive to these smaller military matters as are the French. For instance, if India belonged to France, and the Indian army to the Emperor Napoleon, the latter would take every opportunity to strengthen those feelings of loyalty which would be sure to be entertained by his Indian regiments for him. Why should not the Queen of England do the same ? The gallantry that some of her Indian regiments has displayed in former combats is well known, and now that the Queen of England is Empress of India, and the Company's army the Queen's, it would be well if her Majesty were to confer on some of her most distinguished native regiments, in recognition of their gallantry, such royal appellations,as are emblazoned upon the colours of many a British re giment. The " Queen's Own Scinde Horse" sounds as well as the " Queen's Own," and the " Prince of Wales's Punjaubees," as the "Princess of Wales's Dragoon Guards." Such acts would cost cheap enough.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, C. W. W. MAGAZINES. THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW—in its current num ber for June (18 N.S. 55 U.S.) puts in a very notable appearance among the monthly periodicals. Leading off with a second chapter, biographical and critical, on " Joseph de Maistre," from the pen of Mr. John Morley, Editor of The Fortnighly, and with (immediately afterwards) a second chapter on " Mr. Darwin's Hypotheses," from the pen of the ex-Editor, Mr. G. H. Lewes —the Fortnightly offers to our notice a tribute to the patriotism of "Massimo d'Azeglio," from a pen-point sometimes as keen and piercing as a stiletto, that of Signor A. Gallenga. William Bagehot has a disquisition of a very characteristic kind, entitled "Matthew Arnold oa the London University ;" and Bernard Cracroft an artistic criticism on Mr. Holman Hunt's " Isabel." An admiring, though by no means enthusiastic, review of " Mr. Robert Lytton's Poems" has been contributed to the pages of the Fortnightly by one of the most accomplished writers on its staff, Mr. George Meredith. HOUSEHOLD WORDS in its second instalment— that is iu Part H. of the cheap reissue of it bj the Messrs. Ward, Lock, and Tyler—comprises an extraordinary variety of attractive contributions, many of them memorable, and last not least among the number " From the Raven in the Happy Family "by Charles Dickens himself. The frolic fun, and humour of those delightful papers about (or rather purporting to ceine direct from the beak of) the Raven of the Hippy Family—remin ling one of the immortal Grip of " Barnaby Rudge"—revive our regret that Mr. Dickens never completed the series by perfecting it into a veritable raven's auto biography. BELGRAVIA,—" Deal-Sea Fruit" is continue], and Mr. and Mrs. Jeruingham meet again. " Charlotte's Inheritance" is . also proceeded with. " London Palaces" brings before us this time " The Savoy," " Buccleuch," " Whitehall," &c. These sketches are most interesting, aid furnish the realer with much information. " Diana Gray" is con tinued. " French Etiquette" is a pleasing paper, and retails some of the customs of our neighbours that are interesting to readers. The illustrations are as usual an attractive feature in this magazine. "The Story of St. Thomas's Hospital" is a paper most appropriate just now . . " Literature of the Time" and some other subjects complete the con tents of this number, which has a great deal of variety in style and subject. CoroTHILL.—" The Bramleighs of Bishop's Folly" continues its narrative and the various plots and counter-plots are told in an exciting manner. " Under the Sea" is a sketch that is likely to attract ; the first record of which is found in Thucydides. " Camp Life in Abyssinia" is a subject that is sure to win regard just now. " A Group of Vagabonds" tells of the doings of some wanderers in olden days, who went a pilgrimage to a very favourite resort. " A City of Refuge" is a very interesting sketch that is well worthy of perusal. " Aveline" is continued and is entertaining iu this portion. "Anarchy and Autho rity" is an article of a solid kind that will suit grave readers. "The Earth a Magnet" is a paper that is carefully written, and will interest the student and the traveller. The accounts given of " magnetic storms" are worthy of attention. TEMPLE BAR.—" Kitty" is continued, and the story becomes more interesting as it proceeds, and the heroine is meditating a trip to India to better her fortunes. "In the Apple Orchard" is a pleas ing sketch, and the description of the first scene is very well done. " Mrs. Mairin" is a tale that is powerfully told, and has some originality about it to recommend it to the notice of the reader. "In Memoriam—Charles; Kean" is the title of some verses that are written with feeling, and animated by a just sense of the merits of the actor whose life's drama is over. A sketch of " Lord Brougham" will be found interesting. "The Knight of Innis haven" is as sparkling as ever in this instalment, and touches on a variety of subjects. " Curiosities of Marriage Law and Ritual" contain soma very strange accounts of the changes which this law has undergone in the course of time. ST. PAULS.—" The Women of the Day" find in this number of St. Paul's a very fair and sensible champion, who takes their part against those anony mous attacks which have only attained celebrity by their extravagance. " What is the Eastern Question ?" is a query which it would puzzle a good many politicians accurately to define. Tiaoae who wish to improve their knowledge of the subject, however, can study it in the long and carefully written paper before us. " The Wilds of Cheshire" supply an interesting article, with a few hints about grouse and hawking. Madame de Sevigne, the queen of letter writers, is pleasantly portrayed in a brief memoir ; and among the other articles are one on " Fishing" and one on " British Rule in India," while " Phineas Phinn," under the facile pen of Mr. Trollope, goes on his way to fame as a candidate for Loughton. TINSLEY'S.—Edmund Yates's story of " The Rock Ahead," is rapidly approaching its completion in this part, but as the novel readers have it already entirely iu their hands, it is unnecessary to criticise it. " The Adventures of Dr. Brady," by Dr. Rus sell, must be classed under the same head. " Eng lish Photographs, No. V.," by an American, give a not unfavourable likeness. "Aunt Anastasia" is busy among the portraits, and another lady of middle age, gives us a treatise on old maids, which is, in reality, an amusing sketch of the minor miseries of married life. THE MONTH.—Many subjects of interest are dis cussed in this number, and there is a liberal allow ance of literary crrticisms. The readers of the Month will be glad to hail the author of "L'3 Rlcit d'une Sceur" among them. THE BROADWAY.—This international magazine goes on its way very fairly and creditably upon the whole. A paper on " Old Trinity and the Ameri can Church" will interest English readers, and Alexander D'Orsey gives us a treatise on "Debating Societies." There are several other papers of varying merit, and three more chapters of " Break speare." THE M USICAL MAGAZINES. HANOVER SQUARE.—The contents of th) current number of this veryexcellent magazine are as varied as usual. The first pianoforte piece, " A Lullaby" by Charles Solaman, is a melodious composition, but it will neither add to nor diminish the fame of its author ; he has given us far better things, and when next we meet with his name in Hanover Square we shall expect something more pretentious from him. Arthur Sullivan has set Miss Ingelow's words "0 fair dove" very prettily. Clara Gottschalk has done as much for the wordsof Mr. Harrison, " Sun shine after Cloud," but it would be a decided im provement if one at least of the songs in the maga zine was of a little more cheerful description. it is not at all pleasant to be continually singing about dead friends and lovers, the prevailing theme now with nearly all our ballad co:nposers. The marche brilliante, " La Vivandiere," by Edouard de Paris, is a good composition, and one that will secure a great many admirers. The magazine, on the whole, well maintains its claims to the support of all musi cians of taste and refinement. BOND - STREET.—The June number of this lively magazine is one that will enhance its reputation with the general musical public. Mr. Charles Coote is a most prolific quadrille composer, and as a rule his arrangement of the popular airs of the day are as clever as they are effective. His " Qua drille comique" will prove as great a favourite at fashionable parties as it certainly will become in the private circle. Mr. Robert Coote contributes a very spirited polka mazurka, " The Fairy," and Mr. Taylor's ballad, " I was like a spirit's sigh," and Mr. Conway Brown's song, "Beautiful dreams," are two very graceful compositions that cannot fail to please the taste of the subscribers to Bond street, which, as a manager of popular music, stands without a rival, either for cheapness or ex cellence. EXETER HALL.—This month contains a very fine selection from Handel's " Israel in Egypt," arranged for the pianoforte by E. F. Rimbault, in addition to which are two sacred songs and an evening hymn, the words of the latter being the composition of the Rev. Dr. Monsell. We have, as usual, a piece for the harmonium, and an extra attraction is given to the present num ber by the addition of a very clever illustration of the Old Music Hall in Fishamble-street, Dublin, where " The Messiah" was first performed. Boosey's Household Music will certainly meet with great success, not only from the wonderfully cheap price at which it is published, but also from its extreme goodness. We thought music had already reached the height of cheapness, but the latest issue from Holies street surpasses everything that la 9 yet been offered to the public. The quality and quantity of " Household Music" may be judge] of when we say that ten of the gems of the most cele brated composers for the pianoforte, or 30 so nes with accompaniments, can be had for sixpence. Messrs. Boosey have also just published a number of very beautiful ballads ; one by Claribel, " Roses and Daisies," will - .;.doubtless become a universal favourite. The same good fortune will attend Virginia Gabriel's song, " I will not ask to press that cheek," and Mr. J. L. Hatton's ballad, " The beacon that lights me home." " The St. Patrick's Quadrille," and " The Hit and Miss Galop and Quadrille," are the latest novelties in dance music. Messrs. Metzler have just published three very striking pianoforte pieces : " The Evening Star Reverie," by Reyloff ; " Primavera," by Emile Waldtenfel ; and " Les Oiseaux," by Edouard de Paris, which will be readily welcomed, as they are of mare than ordinary goodness. octi, triffurt ein Tat HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 5. The Queen went nut in the morning, d,ccoru pawed by Princess Louise ; and in the afternoon her Majesty drove out, with the Duchess of Athole in attendance. The Prince and Princess of Wales drove out on Saturday. PIGEON SHOOTING. GUN CLUB. The counter attention of the sweepstakes at Hurling ham Park, and the absence of several members who had gone over t 3 Paris, did not fail to produce a marked dif ference in the attendance at the ground of this club on Saturday. During the afternoon, however, several sweep stakes, upon the usual conditions of £1 each, three birds each, were shot off. The first, of seven subscribers, re sulted in a division between Captain N. Burnard, 241 yards rise, and Mr. Bentley, 221, each having killed three. Cap tain J. W. Fredericks, 26, took the pool in the second by killing three. Mr. Reynolds Peyton, 241, and Mr. Davis, 251, shared the third, scoring three each. Tho fourth was divided by the Hon. R. C. Hill, 26, and Capt. N. Burnard, 251, after tieing with Capt. Fredericks, 26, Mr. Marshall, 251, Mr. Davis, 251, Berkeley Lucy, 27, and Mr. Lysley, 261. Three tied in the fifth, viz., Hon. R. C. Hill, 27, Mr. B. Lucy, 27, and Mr. A. Hardy, 251. In shooting off Mr. Lucy and Mr. A. Hardy each missed their fifth bird, and as the Hon. R. C. Hill killed, he of course became the winner. No less than six gentlemen tied by killing three each in the sixth, and on contesting the ties Mr. Davis, 261, and Mr. Lamont, M.P., 27, were the only two who were successful in bringing down. four each; so they divided. J. Offer, of Hammersmith, supplied the birds, and butter never went from the trap. HURLINGHAM PARK. Again was there a large attendance of rank and fashion at this now celebrated resort on Saturday last, and in the course of the afternoon a £5 sweepstakes, at 10 birds each, 25 yards rise, was decided. The shooting itself requires but very little description, although the admirable manner in which Mr. E. H. Maxwell, M.P., the winner, killed his birds, frequently gained him the plaudits of the spectators, the eighth bird especially, which was one of the most swift flyers ever seen, being stopped at a distance of nearly 100 yards. There were only two ties for the second prize, viz., Viscount Holmesdale and Sir Frederick Johnstone, and in shooting off Sie Frederick Johnstone missed, Bo that he had to be content with the third prize. At a rather late period of the afternoon his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales came on the ground, and although he did not participate in the shooting, he seemed to evince much interest in the proceeding& The winner made use of an excellent muzzle-loader by T. Bass and tio., of St. James's-street. The birds were supplied by Hammond. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury ill Downing-street. The Ministers present were—the Bigh t Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Malives bury, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Sir John Pakingtoe, Sir S. Northcote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. Manners, and the Earl of Mayo. We understand that the Government have agreed upon the following arrangement with respect to the archi tects of various buildings now under their consi leratiou, viz., that Mr. Street shall be appointed architect to the Law Courts, Mr. Edward Barry to the National Gallery, Mr. Scott to the continuation and completion of the Go vernment buildings in Westminster, and Mr. Waterhouse to the buildings at South Kensington. THE PACIFIC COD FISHERIES.—The San Fran cisco Mining and Scientific Press says : —Sixteen vess.As, aggregating about 2,000 tons, have already left this por t , the present season, to engage iu cod-fishing on our north west coast. A large amount of capital is also invested le salmon-fishing in that region. The fisheries along the coast of Alaska are probably superior in variety, and ex: tent, and in facilities for catching and curing to those of any other portion of the world ; and for that business alone, with its incidental advantage of a nursery for seamen, will, in a few years, be worth all, or more, than it has cost the National Government.
