THIS DAT.—Morning, 7h. 49m.—Afternoon, Bh. 24m. To-Monnow.-Morning, 9h. 7m.—Afternoon, 9h. 53m. LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1868. The King of PRUSSIA must be pretty well accus tomed to making speeches by this time, and his discourse upon the closing of the Prussian Legisla tive Session was nothing out of the common. There was the same jubilant announcement of the work that had been done, and the same flattering allu sion to what the Government had effected. The KING thinks that he has discovered a solution of many existing difficulties, and hails the advent of a new era which shall witness the real accord that takes place between his Government and the national representation. The " Crown's dig nity, takes an immense deal to sup port it apparently ; but so far the news is satisfactory, for the two Houses have readily granted the augmentation that was required. The "lincreased Monarchy" about which so much parade has been made, is a most expensive affair, but the strange thing is that the annexed provinces have to contribute largely themselves, and yet the Prus sians are also called upon to make sacrifices in the common cause of this incongruous kingdom or empire, as it is desired to have it called. The just wishes of the countries that have been newly ac quired are very far from being satisfied, but the King of pit USSIA seems to think otherwise, although how ho has arrived at that conclusion it is difficult to understand. So far as lookers-on have been able to appreciate the state of things, it has seemed that those places that have been forced to own Prussian supremacy have sequestered their rights and lost their position as independent and self-governing States; while, at the same time, little or no consideration has been shown for their wishes, expectations, or demands. An awkward subject to allude to was that of the distress in Eastern Prussia. Every one knows that this has been in a great measure occasioned by the pressure of the war, and the continual draining off by the conscription of the able members of the community. As may be imagined, however, King WILLIAM does not inquire too closely into causes, and contents himself by declaring that the sufferings will be alleviated; thatpublic charity, the measure of Parliament, and the good care of the authorities will be sufficient to overcome the evil. The needless misery thus spread abroad by the gra tification of inordinate ambition, and the prosecu tion of a ruthless policy, is, indeed, sad to contem plate, and furnishes a striking warning to those who persist in following a reckless course without due regard to the welfare of others. It is idle to talk of good measures being introduced into that coun try with a view to the development of its resources while the hard and oppressive customs of the con scription prevail in all their rigour and harshness. llanover was another " vexed question" which had to be treated of, but the speech of the ICING goes straight on, and those not versed in the affair would never think that there had been so much confusion on the subject. The " equity and good will" which inspired the policy of the Government have had their influence on the Legislators, and induced them to agree to the proposals about the provincial fund. Not only has this principle been suited for Hanover, but it is confidently affirmed in this speech that they have taken the first efficacious step towards "the policy which is to lead to an autonomism and satisfactory administration by all the other provinces." The convention of compensation with the former Sovereigns of Hano ver and Nassau is also duly acknowledged, and the best results are to follow from the experiment. It really seems as if the KING or his Ministers were attempting a joke when we find this declaration made in conclusion :—" My Government has inces santly endeavoured to use its influence in favour of the conservation and consolidation of the peace of Europe." Who but PruT , sia has been the moving spirit and the active agent in all the wars that have disturbed us of late years? and what folly it is to talk after this fashion, as if the records of the past could be so easily effaced, or the bitterness of envy and disappointment could lose its sting in so expeditious a manner. The Fatherl an d i s t o fl our i sh, and nat i ona l we lf are i s to be devel o p e d, in consequence of the wise and humane policy of the Government. All this sounds v A'y well at first, lint it will Got bear a minute in quiry, and there is no valid reason to be adduced which should make us put implicit credence in the assertion. It is unfortunately only too evident that the Government of Berlin will stop for nothing to carry out their schemes, and pdt their designs into execution. The airs which they give themselves, and the arrogance they display, are really most surprising, and we have just had a signal instance of it in the matter of Hanover, They 40 virtu- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1868 indignant if their victims show any signs of life, and hence the rage and mortificaticn that have bee n only too fully revealed when the ex-King of HA NOVEL presumed to meet his former subjects, and to hint at the probability of one day rejoining thei nas heretofore. This will not do, and the in dig -nation and irritation that have been the conse qui once in Prussian circles have given rise to much cot ement, and occasioned many rumours to be set afloat which bear more less probability, as the case may . be. One of the last and least probable of these is Abat the Prussian authorities have solicited Queen Vi i 7TORIA to use her influence with her cousin King G E L )RGE to persuade him to refrain from making any more attempts to repossess himself of his Crown, in order that the Berlin Government may not be cotnpelled to resort to extremities in his case. This is the first time that these worthies have ever shown any dislike to dealing harshly with German rivals, and they would no doubt be only too glad to find a pretecct for not keeping to their engagement as to compensation, as if they did not think that they did not outrage public opinion too much by doing so. Au for the notion that our Government can interfere either in the way of insinuation or advice it is quite an untenable one, as a little con sideration will show. In the first place, it is not our business to meddle with the princes of Germany, and dictate to them their line of action in order that they may not swerve from the line laid down by Prussia ; and another thing to remember is, that as we did not interfere to save King GEORGE from the full effects of the horrors of war, it would be quite out of character to come to the aid of his oppressors now, and forbid him to take part in those meetings and reunions which afford him some solace in his sad condition. Most likely it would have done no good if any re presentations had been made to the conquerors of the German provinces, but at the same time they offered a direct insult to us in thus needlessly per secuting one who was closely related to our Royal Family. These ideas of generosity or evi dences of delicacy of feeling are, however, quite ignored by the rulers of Prussia; and another instance of this allusion of magnanimity was illus trated in their dealings with Hesse-Darmstadt. The best and wisest way then is to let them alone, and if no respect for the good opinion of England, and the wishes of our Royal Family here and on the Continent, can influence them in the right direction, or arrest their course when in clined to pursue the wrong one, by all means let us not seek to aid their course, or bid them good speed in their work of oppression. Were the Crown of King WILLIAM half so secure as his Ministers would make it out to be, the ex-King of HANOVER might have a banquet every day of his life, and declare over and over again that he would die in his old quarters, without giving rise to a single surmise on the part of BISMARCK, or setting the official journals of Prussia in a rage ; but when people have shaky foundations to rest upon they become suspicious. ....4 ItlEis Seldom has a more striking instance been afforded of the wonder-working rapidity of the Atlantic Cable than was yesterday given by the transmission of a question and answer in six hours. An ex change of ideas, not only between two continents, but two hemisphere, is even, in our own day, a matter of some consideration ; and that it should be effected in a briefer space than could have secured a reply by post from one end of London to the other is certainly a marvel ; yet an inquiry having been despatched from the Times office relative to the rumoured impeachment of the PRESIDENT, at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the answer came back under the broad Atlantic by eleven o'clock at night. After this PUCK'S "girdle round the earth in forty minutes" is in a fair way of being realised. The news of the im peachment is authentic, and we learn by REUTEICS Telegrams of an earlitr date that the House of Representatives has adopted the Article of Impeach ment charging the PRESIDENT with having violated the Tenure-of-Office Act, by removing STANTON from the Secretaryship, and appointing THOMAS without the consent of the Senate. Another Im peachment Article has;been adopted, charging the PRESIDENT with an infraction of the Army Bill, by inducing General EMORY to obey orders not sent through General GRANT, as Commander-in- Chief. The party is, it would seem, united in their action, and the trial is expected to go on next week. It will be observed that the great offences with which Mr. JOHNSON is charged all relate to the infringement of the Acts passed by the Radicals themselves, and not yet tested by the decision of the Supreme Court. They set up doctrines and theories of their own, opposed not only to the prevailing traditions of American policy, but to both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution of the United States. Any invasion of these newly-framed Acts is, however, high.treason ; and while they are utterly indifferent to the subver sion of old constitutional theories, they are rigid in exacting the strictest and most literal fulfilment of the terms of the new acts. Some of these acts about which they aro most clamorous have failed to receive the Presidential assent. Mr. JOHNSON has condemned them as unconstitutional, and he has explained his opposition by reasons and arguments founded on constitutional law, against which the State lawyers have nothing to say. The idea of impeaching the head of the State for the infraction of laws whose own legality is uncertain, would certainly, in a calmer state of political feel ing, appear preposterous. The Supreme Court must be the actual arbiter, and thus even should the requisite two-thirds majority be attained in the Senate, the conviction of the PRESIDENT will be practically worthless. So high is the Radical feel ing running against the PRESIDENT, and all who support him, that it is rumoured that a warrant for the arrest of General THOMAS for violation of the Tenure-of-Office Act has been applied for at the Supreme Court. The excitement respecting the struggle between STANTON and JOIINSON is very great, and politicians of all sides are throwing themselves into the breach. So far back as Fe bruary 22 prominent Senators were writing to STANTON, advising him to disregard JOHNSON'S order of removal. As we heard some days since by the Cable, STANTON, on receiving the order of dis missal, referred it to the Senate, who immediately passed a resolution, by 29 votes to 6, denying the PRESIDENT'S right to remove the Secretary. This is quite a new doctrine, and if the members of the Cabinet are to be thus immovable, they should in lar covmotnem ist in co t n ,h s os e a n to cy o b l e e nan l n ec e t r ed a b s y t t h h e e popU- PRE SIDENT and Vice-PRESIDENT. It is scarcely worth while to agitate the whole country to muster the leading men of all the States, and to go through the various coretnonials belonging to the installation of the chid public officer in the country if his office is to be a mere sinecure. What is the use of the PRE CSloDnEsNtTituttaiokningif t h h e e iosathoobdooxviortanthollyto ppowreesrelrevsse?thAe Minister, with a hostile Cabinet, even among our selves, with the House of Commons to assist him, finds it impossible to carry on the busi ness of the State. Ilow, then, would it be possible for an American PRESIDENT to fulfil the duties of his office if his policy is perpetually thwarted, his orders disobeyed, and his wishes dis regarded by his colleagues ? No one in his senses would dream of so framing a constitution, since it is certain that an inevitable deadlock must result. It is something quite new that so unwieldy a body as a Legislative Assembly should have the direct control over the Executive, and regulate the ap pointment and removal of its members. If the PRESIDENT is in every respect subservient to the Con ress, what becomes of his Presidency ? Over what does he preside? Certainly not over the Cabinet, whose members may defy him with impunity; not over the national affairs, since questions of peace and war are decided by the verdict of Congress ; not over the army, since unless his orders are transmitted through the chosen channel he is to be liable to im peachment ; not over the diplomatic service, since his appointments are regularly disputed and often annulled ; certainly not over the internal adminis tration of the country, since the Reconstruction Act leaves Congress supreme, not only over PRESIDENT and Ministers, but over law, equity, and the Constitu tion. If these theories are to be carried into practice and endorsed by popular vote, Congress would do better to take the hint given them by the good citizens of Boston and abolish the Presidency alto gether. Mr. TRAIN, if he is a hero and a martyr in the United States, is not playing a very brilliant role iu Ireland. He started, it will be remembered, on a lecturing tour, from which he no doubt expected to derive both fame and profit. Alas for the vanity of mortal expectations his career has been checked at the very outset by insignificant but immovable ob stacles. He has been refused the use of the public rooms at Waterford, Limerick, and Clonmel, and at Sligo, where he had actually commenced his lec ture. Thus slighted in the provinces, he is return ing to the capital, and intends to appeal to the classes whose sympathies are more ready than their shillings, so that by putting a very low price on his tickets he may secure an audience remarkable for quantity if not for quality. Another disappoint ment has befallen the distinguished American. He applied to the High Sheriff of Sligo to be put as one of the six aliens on the jury appointed to try " Colonel" NAGLE. The High Sheriff, with extra ordinary want of perception, refused to place Mr. TRAIN on the list, and thus another affront is added to the catalogue of offences committed by Bri tannia against Brother Jonathan. Seriously speak ing, it is an encouraging sign of improving times that so wild and mischievous an agitator has not created any actual disturbance, but that the world goes on very much the same notwithstanding his wrongs and his achievements. Another hopeful sign is to be found in the proceed ings at the Downpatrick Assizes. Three Orange men were convicted by the magistrates for taking part in an illegal procession, and one of them, a country gentleman of some standing and Grand Master of the County Down Orangemen, was sen tenced to one month's imprisonment, and to find bail for future good behaviour. Two other leaders of the movement were included in this wise and salutary decision, which we hope will do practical good. We cannot modify the bitterness of political and religious animosity in [reland suddenly, but we can at least insist on its outward repression. This is the first step towards a better state of things, since with every such display fresh provocation is given, and the feud is kept up. Coming close upon the Fenian prosecutions, this decision proves that the authorities are resolved to uphold and to administer the law with strict impartiality and rigid justice. LATEST INTELLMENCE.

The English schooner Mary Ann, Captain Mar shall, laden with naptha and petroleum, caught fire this morning, in consequence of an explosion on board. The ship was entirely destroyed, and the captain and crew perished. ANOTHER SUPPOSED FENIAN OUIRAGE. This morning, about three o'clock, a desperate attempt was made to shoot two policemen in Fins bury-square by a man named Thomas O'Heaon. John Hills, a retired policeman, passed O'Heaon on his way home, at whi c h ti me he was talking with some other men. A s soon as Hills had proceeded a short distance off h e h ear d the report of a pistol, and the rush of a b u ll e t passe d him. He went back in company with constable Maley to O'Heaon, when a struggle took place, the man discharging another shot at the constable following without effect. Before the fellow could be secured five bar rels of the revolver were discharged in the affray. Hills alleges that he is quite unknown to O'Heaon, but the latter says he is quite " prepared to do" 10 years fur him. The prisoner was examined at Clerk enwell Police-court, but the above facts being proved he was remanded. Of course lie is suspected to be a Fenian.

(FROM OUR - OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, March 2. The excitement which prevailed last week has died away. The Emperor, who was dangerously ill according to one report, who had fractured his skull according to another, has been out riding in the Bois de Boulogne, and thus one cause of agitation has been disposed of. The semi-official papers announce that Baron Budberg has given the most pacific utterances on behalf of his Govern ment, which slims that Russia sees her time is not yet come. Prince Napoleon's journey is the only morceau left for the pessimists, and they can't make much of it. With all their ingenuity, they can't torture the Prince's visit to Berlin into a sign of impending war with Prussia. Of course:there is the usual paragraph in the papers—which is for the French journals what the enormous gooseberry is for yours—about the manufacture of arms. There is grende activite, we are told, at Ste Etienne, where 12,000 workmen are engaged in manufacturing chassepots, and are under a contract to deliver 900 a day, and 15,000 fasils a tabeWre a week. But for all this there really seems no reason to believe that peace will be disturbed this year, though, with such huge standing armies as there are throughout Europe, no wise prophet will risk his repu• +ation by uttering a prediction on the matter. - I hear that there has been a very stormy scene in the Corps L6gislatif to-day. J6rome David did not preside, in order that he might have an opportunity of replying to any questions. His place was taken by M. du A.liraL At the commencement of the sitting, M. Havin, in the midst of constant interruptions, declared that the Jury of Honour had stated M. Kerv6guen's accusations against the Paris newspapers to be false and calumnious. Jules Simon then got up and asked by what right David (who was acting as President of the Chamber in the place of M. Schneider, who has lost his voice) left the Chamber, and declared the sitting at an end while members were speaking. David defended himself in the best way he could. The whole affair was very noisy. Every place was filled, and the crowd in the Salle de 3 Pas-Perdus wits enormous and some. what unruly, in spite of all attempts to keep order. We have not heard the last of M. Kerv6guen's charges. The manager of the Revue des Deux Mondes has declared his intention of prosecuting M. Granier de Cassagnac, pro prietor of the Pays, for defamation. Other of the journals implicated have boldly challenged Cassagnac to publish everything, and they engage that they will not prosecute him. After all, the Revue has taken the wisest course, since it will make the accuser of his brethren suffer for his calumnies. I mentioned yesterday that Baron Hausmann had been worsted in his endeavours to construct a boulevard through the Montmartre Cemetery. He has just come off only second best from an encounter with Le Verrier, the astronomer. The Baron proposed to make a new road close to the ObServatory, which, as your readers will re member, is at the end of the Luxembourg gardens. Le Verrier protested against this, on the ground that it would interfere with his observations. The Baron replied that in order to meet the astronomer's difficulty he proposed to transport the Observatory to one of the hills in the neigh bourhood of Paris. This is:Le Verrier's reply : " Trans port Paris where you like, but don't touch the Observa tory." Short, this ; but hardly sweet. Here is another good story. Some time ago a composer, with dishevelled hair, and as thin as a skeleton, called upon Rossini and obtained permission to play a piece of his own composing. Ho sat himself down to the piano, banged, ran up and down, bent himself double, threw his nose into the air, and at last stopped exhausted. " 'What do you call that ?" said Rossini. "It is a funeral march which I composed on the death of Meyerbeer. What do you think of it, divine maestro ?" "It is not so bad ; only it would have been better if you had been dead, and Meyer. beer had written the march." Speaking of composers, I may mention that Auber, inspired by the great success which has attended his " Premier Jour de Bonheur," has set to work upon a new opera, in three acts, of which the first part will be ready in a few days. Not bad this for a man in hie 84th year. One of the actors has made a good thing of the first-mentioned opera. ThB young tenor, Capoul, has so charmed the audience at the Op6ra-Comique that the director of the opera has made ari engagement with him for five years, with a bonus of about £1,500 upon the original terms. Still on theatrical matters, I may men tion that the production of " Hamlet" on the Paris stage is likely to be very successful, The Times publishes to-day what we imagine to he the quickest piece of telegraphing ever known. It states that in consequenee'of the doubt thrown upon the intelligence received through Reuter's agency of the impeachment of President Johnson, the editor telegraphed yesterday (Monday) afternoon, at five o'clock, by the Atlantic cable, to a trustworthy authority at New York, and received at eeven o'clock the same night the following reply! "Trial will go on next week. Party is united." Six thousand miles in six hours, including delivery of message ancl writing of reply, is certainly not bad, even in these rapid times. The news thus received supplements the cable telegram sent by Reuter, and that again is supplemented by the ordinary mail news. We are now able to form a connected idea of the situation. On February 21 the President issued an order removing Stanton from the War Office, and appointing Adjutant-General Lorenzo Thomas to the vacant post. Mr. Stanton referred the order to the Senate, which, by 29 against 6 votes, passed a resolution denying the right of the President to remove the Secretary. At the same time prominent senators wrote to Stanton advising him to disregard the President's order ; and, it is further rumoured, that application was made at the Supreme Court for a warrant to apprehend Thomas for violation of the Tenure of Office Act, which was lately passed in order to prevent the President from dismissing Ministers of State without the consent of the Senate. On the 25th ult., a resolution to impeach the Presi dent was introduced into the House of Represen tatives, and was referred to the Reconstruction Committee, which subsequently reported in favour of impeachment. The House afterwards adopted the article of impeachment against Johnson for violating the Tenure of Office Act, and also for having violated the, Army Bill by endeavouring to induce General Emory tc obey orders which had not been sent through General Grant. The trial, as we now learn from the Times, is.to co on next week ; so that the Republican party are deter mined to lose no time. The impeachment has also been brought by Thaddeus Stevens and Bingham before the Senate, and was referred to a committee, preAunably only in order to ascertain the mode of proceeding, as the Senate has no option in the matter, but simply acts as a jury, the House of Representatives being the prosecutors. In order for the impeachment to be successful, two-thirds of the Senate must decide against the President. As the removal of Stanton has already b 2en declared illegal by nearly five to one, there can scarcely be any doubt that the-verdict will go against Mr. Johnson. It will then remain to be seen if he will resist by force of arms the deposition whici will be pronounced against him. The crisis is immensely important. The official St. Petersburg paper Invalide publishes a song account of negotiations which have been going on between Austria and Montenegro. The principality has long been anxious to obtain a port on the Adriatic, an.: the Prince has promised the Austrian Government that if this is granted he will abstain from any co-operati , n the Danubian provinces in their threatened insurr rtion against Turkey. But Austria declines to grant thy; con. cession, and so, naturally, Montenegro will seize every opportunity of obtaining that which she so sorely needs, and to which she is so reasonably entitled. The Berlin correspondent of the Times, writing before the news of Prince Napoleon's journey to the Prussian capital was known, says that Russia has backed out of the Eastern question for the present, and has instructed her agents in the East to do their utmost to prevent an outbreak • - at.present. Russia finds that Prussia is not prepared to go with her, and so she must postpone her plans for a The negotiations between Prussia and Denmark are by no means ended abruptly. According to a letter from Vienna, they have only just begun. The Danish Govern. ment declines the 'friendly offices of all other Powers, and will carry on the affair with Prussia alone. Great preparations are being made for the marriage of Prince Humbert of Italy: It will be a magnificent affair. The King will give a ball, at which all the guests, except the Italian deputies and the town councilors of Florence, will have to appear in Court dresses. Victor Emmanuel took part in the Carnival, and did his best to make him self agreeable. His reception was rather cold. Having been loved a long time in spite of himself, now that he is seeking to make himself loved he finds the task difficult. The Neapolitan guides are likely to have a good season. Lent is always the time when there are most visitors at Naples, and this year the eruption of Vesuvius has drawn a large number there who are all eager to " do" the vol cano. Unfortunately, there is just now considerable diffi culty in getting to the top, and the feat is so dangerous that guides Lave been known to refuse large sums of money offered by foolliarJy mountaineers. - - From the proceeding s at the latest meeting of the East London Distress Belief Committee it appeared that the charitable contributions of the wealthier classes had almost ceased, and the balance remaining in hand was barely £lOO. Mr. Samuda, M.P., stated that a deputa tion of shipwrights had asked him to explain to the com mittee that their union arrangements did not include relief to men out of work. Statistics were given to shew that a great proportion of the distress was not due to the state of affairs in Millwall in particular, but to a general de pression of all branches of trade. The committee deter mined eventually to adjourn for a week, and the greater part of the relief is in the meantime suspended. From the list of Ministers present at the first Cabinet Council held under the presidency of Mr. Disraeli, it appears that Mr. Walpole's place at the board is not to be filled up. Neither the Postmaster-General, the President of the Poor-law Board, nor the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is to be included in the imperium in imperio. Lord Palmerston and Earl Russell gave these three high functionaries seats in the Cabinet, and excluded the First Commissioner of Works and the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Both of these were in the Cabinet of Lord Derby, end the arrangement has not been disturbed by the present Premier. No appointment has yet been made to the Secretaryship of the Poor-law Board. It is, perhaps, of more impor tance than at first sight might appear who may be chosen. The forthcoming bill amending the Poor-law Act touches many ticklish questions. It will be introduced in the Upper House by Lord Devon, who is well qualified to expound and to defend its provisions. But when it goes down to the House of Commons it will be of much impor tance to have a man to defend its details who is thoroughly au fait, and who for the time being has nothing else to think of. There is an on dit to the effect that the new Premier intends to advise her Majesty to confer a peerage on Baron Rothschild, whom Lord Chelmsford, when Sir Frederick Thesiger, for many years endeavoured to exclude from the House of Commons on the ground of his Hebrew extrac tion. After what Lord Chelmsford has said about the admission of Jews to Parliament " unehristianising " the Legislature, it would be difficult for him to sit in the House of Peers with Baron Rothschild. Before the Baron was admitted to the Commons, Sir F. Thesiger had become Lord Chancellor, and even from the woolsack he endea voured to prevent the Jew bill from becoming law. No wonder that no love was lost between him and Mr. Disraeli. According to the Manchester Guardian, the youthful Prince Leopold, on account of whose precarious health the Queen has prolonged her sojourn at Osborne, though stated to be convalescent, is still in a very delicate condition. It is understood that from some abnormal peculiarity of con stitution, the inner membrane of the skin is so fragile that the least violence or blow of any kind causes suffusion which it is difficult to arrest, and the consequences of which are fatal to health or enjoyment. It took several weeks to stop the hemorrhage with which he has lately been afflicted ; and now that it has ceased his condition is one of great prostration. Prompted by the Reform League, a requisition, contain ing, nearly 2,500 names, has been presented to the Mayor of Birmingham, asking his worship to call a town meet• ing to assist in any way the repeal of the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Act. His worship has consented to do so. This is another indication that the principle represented in the " personal payments of rates" will meet with some hearty assailants in the present session. The trial of another alien, " Captain" Mackay, will excite no little interest in Cork. Notice has been served upon him in Kilmainham Gaol, informing him that he will be tried at the assizes which are to commence on the 9th 4 Ararch. His solicitor has communicated to Mr. Adams, in London, the fact of his approaching trial, and of his claim to be indicted before a jury composed one half of aliens. The American Government has, however, de clined to aid Mackay by counsel, on the ground that he violated British law on British soil. He is a native of Boston, in the United States. A. curious illustration of the manner in which we are obliged to govern Ireland has been presented in the distri bution of special rewards to the constables who captured Mackay. One of them has received a silver medal, and two others have been decorated with chevrons. The pre sentations were made in military fashion by Colonel Wood, the Inspector-General of Constabulary. Mr. John Mitchel, who may be supposed to know some thing of the Fenian conspiracy, tells us that "the whole concern has run right up against a wall, and cannot take one step further." In the United States, all is " confu sion and disarray." From the first, the organisation has been a fraud. It was madness to attempt to free Ireland when England was at peace with the whole world, and it was a mere delusion to expect assistance from the Government of the United States. The authorities at Washington were and are familiar with all the proceedings of the Fenians. They have "arranged with the Canadian Government for a joint defence of that frontier ; and in every seaport keep so vigilant a guard that not even a single ship of considerable size, to say nothing of a fleet of trans ports, can possibly go out, or get ready to go out." The result is, that the Brotherhood are " impotent to do any thing," and the hero of '4B therefore declines to accept the leadership of such a hopeless enterprise. The Telegraph, reverting to the Speke disappearance, which, by the way, is the subject of a cutting cartoon in the Tomahawk, states that one circumstance which created much comment at the time has now been explained. Mr. Speke purposely threw away his hat in Birdcage-walk in order to strengthen the belief in his death, but he did not recollect that his sister lived near the spot. Therefore, the rumours occasioned by the discovery of the hat in that place were c:ue solely to a curious coincidence. There is a lengthy letter in the Herald frcm th 3 Bishop of Grahamstown, who points out the advantages of the scheme lai,l before the Lambeth Conference for the organi sation of the Colonial Church. In the first place, the Government proposal is based on the principle that nothing shall be done except according to fixed rules, which shall be determined by the general consent of those whom they affect. Again : The judicial system proposed for the Colonial Church is framed upon the principle marked out in the judgment of the Privy Council in the case of Long v. the Bishop of Capetown. That was to the effect that where any religious or other lawful association had agreed on the terms of its union, and constituted its tribunal, the decision of such tribunal should be binding when it had acted within the scope of its authority. The recommenda- tions of the report would leave the constitution of all dio cesan and provincial tribunals to the synods, in which nothing can be decided except by the common consent of bishops, clergy, and laity. It is difficult in t he mind o f the Bishop to conceive how any more liberal provision could be made. SIIICIDE.—On Saturday afternoon Mr. F. G. Smith, who has held the office of secretary of the Scottish Union Tire and Life Insurance Company for upwards of thirty years, destroyed his life under very painful cir cumstances. Mr. Smith for some time past has been suffering from great depression. Some time on Saturday he entered the office of the company in Cornhill with a small paper parcel in his hand, and proceeded to his pli cate room on the second floor, where he remained. About four o'clock the messenger of the office took some papers to his room, and, knocking at the door, Mr. Smith opened it, and took the papers from him ; at the same time he said to the messenger that as it was a wet afternoon he would not go out. Ile then locked his door. The messenger noticed at the time a remarkable change in the demeanour of Mr. Smith, and was mentioning the circumstance to a person on the staircase, when he was startledby the report of firearms proceeding from Mr. Smith's room. He ran and tried to open the door, but finding he could not, he raised an alarm, and called in the police, who broke open the door. They found the unfortunate gentleman lying on the floor in the agonies of death. He had discharged a barrel of a six-chambered revolver under his right ear. The ball passed through his head, and lodged in the ceiling of his room. Medical aid was, of course, sent for, but he was dead. The pistol was quite new, and appeared to have been purchased that morning. DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES AT YORK.—• A few clays ago we reported the apprehension at Popple ton, a village in the neighbourhood of York, of three men, named respectively Ingram, William, and George Bil borough (the former being the father of the two latter, and all having earned an unenviable notoriety as poachers), on the charge of robbing the granary of Mr. Thomas Kirk, a farmer, of the same village. The robberies from the same place had been carried on in a systematic manner for some time, and it was only after a three weeks' watch by the police authorities that the men were caught. Their resistance to the police-officer (whose name is Smith) was excessively violent, his head being cut in such a manner, and the violence inflicted on him so great, that he was obliged to let the man go, and their apprehension was subsequently effected. In the search which was made of the house occupied by the elder prisoner, considerable property was found belonging to Mr. Kirk ; but an unexpected discovery was also made of a vast number of articles belonging to the North-Eastern Railway Com pany, consisting mainly of cloth, brass buttons, brass handles, nails, screws, lc. Th e possession of the property byingram is traccil Through his sons, several of whom havar7.b.eo-iii . die-employ of the company ; whilst a traction engine /And in the course of construction, on Ingram's premises; is presumed also to form part of the property of the same company. On Saturday the prisoners were brought up at York before the West Riding magistrates, on the charge of robbing Mr. Kirk, and for the assault on the police-officer, but, by request, the case was adjourned until next Saturday, when the number of charges against the men, it i'; anticipated, will have been materially in creased. Before the bench, opposition was offered by S;iperintendent Kane to the elder prisoner's signing a deed of gift of his property to a relative, on the ground that the property so assigned might, to some extent, have been stolen, and that if a conviction were obtained that which had not been would revert to the Crown. The bench ruled that the prisoners could sign anything they chose until after their conviction. Through the same apprehension another case of delinquency by one of the servants of the company has been discovered, and, unfor tunately, several other persons whO remain in its employ are likely to become implicated, 144% ; - Trf 1 : 1 caul" HER MAJESTY.

Richards, was produced at this theatre. The piece doubtless would have pleased an audience five-and-twenty years ago, but at the present period the taste for dramas similar to that of " The Prisoner of Toulon" is fast dying out, and therefore the author will act wisely in selecting for his next dramatic effort a more modern model. The plot of the new drama is as follows :—The Ceunt de Villetaneuve, pupil of an uncle more disso lute than himself, has deceived by a fictitious marriage—Leontine, the adopted child of an old soldier, Frangois Rouvray. Rouvray's granddaugh ter Genevieve also attracts the Count's attentions ; but she has a favoured admirer, Jacques Didier, who enlists into the Count's regiment, swearing to avengethe fate of Leontine. He challenges his supe rior officer, in order to compel him to make some atonement for the wrongs of Leontine, but the Count refuses to fight, he is struck by Jacques Didier, who is condemned as a galley slave for life to the fortress of Toulon. A comic cobbler, Jean Cochet, has had the good for tune to render a service to General Bonaparte, and has in consequence gained some influence, obtains admission to the prison, gets an interview with Didier, and gives him the means of effecting his escape. This done, Didier finds old Rouvray and his family in the deepest distress, actually starving, and learns also that Genevieve has been carried off to Paris by the Count. Didier pursuades Rouvray to give him up as an escaped convict, for the sake of getting the reward. This he at last consents to do, but just as Didier is about to be shot the kind hearted cobbler arrives with a pardon for the lover and a warrant of apprehension for both the Count and his uncle, who have both been discovered to be traitors and swindlers. The lovers, of course, are united, villany punished ; and all this is achieved by Cochet, through his having the good for tune to supply the Great General when a sub-lieu tenant with a pair of boots. Mr. Irving supported the part of Jean Cochet with a deal of spirit, in fact he was the soul of the piece. It was uphill work for him, but the author has every reason to congra tulate himself in Mr. Irving being cast for the part. Miss Edith Stuart acted very prettily as Genevieve, but Miss Henrade, though affecting a foreign style and accent, marred her performance very much. Mr. M'lntyre, as Didier, acted with his usual ex cellence, but he must endeavour to moderate his taste in " making up ;" the heavy use of the hare's foot underneath his eyes has a very unpleasant effect from the front. At the fall of the curtain there was very loud applause, but the length of the piece will, we are afraid, affect its success. If it could be compressed within the moderate limits of two acts it would act closer and go much better. OLYMPIC THEATRE. In a new version of " Martin iChuzzlewit,' which was produced with much applause at this theatre last night, the adopter, Mr. Horace Wigan, follows the course of the story with eamoiendahle fidelity, bringing out with ,I,L.,4zuetness all it s mos t salient incidents, pub assigning to its characters their due importance and the precise positions to which they are respectively entitled. His stage version of " Martin Chuzzlewit" may not be all that could be wished, but it is certainly the best that has as yet appeared. The actors exert themselves zealously, and in some instances very successfully. Mr. J. Clarke, late of Covent-garden, has been ex pressly engaged to perform Mrs. Gawp. He plays the part with rich and original. drollery. Mr. Dickens's picture is sketchy, but it is dashed off with his usual spirit and vigour. His make up is very characteristic, and his command of the description of English which may be termed Mrs. Brown's dialect adds greatly to the effect of his impersonation. Mr. Vincent's performance of Mr. Montague Tigg is well studied and cleverly executed. The oily-hypocrisy and the sleek sanctity of Pecksniff lose much of their veno mous unction in the hands of Mr. Addison, who, though a good actor in his own peculiar province, wants the subtle expression and the refined skill for such a part. Miss E. Farren plays Bailey with an amusing assumption of mischievous boyish hu mour, and wins great applause. Miss D'Este, as Charity Pecksniff, is distinguished for all the " playfulness, wildness, and kittenish buoyancy" which the author attributes to that amiable young person. Mr. Soutar is suitably jolly as the irrepres sible Mark Tapley ; and Mr. Horace Wigan plays Jonas with a formidable appreciation of the innate ruffianism of the character. Mr. H. Craven has illus trated the piece with some well-painted landscapes and interiors. CRYSTAL PALACE. The Crystal Palace entertainments yesterday were of a very varied character. Not very long since, as every one knows, the Oxford Music Hall was burnt down, and its numerous artists of various degrees were thrown out of employment. In this dilemma their brother professionals flew to their rescue from every similar establishment in London, and the varied programme of yesterday's entertainment was the result of a perfect embarras de richesse. The comic singers, who appeared in great numbers, were rapturously recalled, and in many cases encored ; and the dancers, whether on the rope - or on the boards, were applauded to the echo. Some little disappointment was felt at the absence of Blow din, but the explanation which was given quite satisfied the public. Blondin, it appeuxfit wished to perform on the high rope, but Mr. Bowleg having heard that he had been recently indisposed , and there not being time to prepare the applianceo necessary for so perilous a performance, thought it his duty to protest, and the result was that the, , great acrobat was " conspicuous by his absence. '' There was excellent music at intervals by several bands, and the Fannie enlivened the afternoon with their extraordinary performances on the slack wire. The evening portion of the entertainment was pre" tracted to an unusually late hour, and included the negro entertainment of Mr. Mackney, surname d the Great, Ethardb's spiral ascent, and the gyratio lo of the Oriental Troupe from Covent-garden. Froal the comfortably full appearanc - e of the Palace ie: terior we feel justified in hoping that the benevolen t object for which the entertainment had been got uP has been satisfactorily fulfilled. ----- EMIGRATION FROM THE MERSEY. --During the past month there sailed from the Mersey, under the A ct ' 18 ships, with 3,920 passengers, of whom 1,880 wore Una lish, 137 Scotch, 955 Irish, and 948 foreigners.
