The monotony of the usual proceeding in the llouse of Lords last night was pleasantly varied by an interesting incident. A new member of their Lordships' house took the oaths and his seat—an associate whom the haughtiest bearer of an ancient title must be proud to welcome. Lord NAPIER of Magdala has won for himself higher and more last ing distinction than can be conferred by any letters patent, and whatever other dignitary of Queen VICTORIA'S reign is forgotten or overlooked in the national records, the name of the new pier who signed the rolls 1 tst night will be held in unfailing honour. After this ag,reA. l )le episode the House addressed itself steadily to its work, which happened to be of a somewhat tedious and laborious character. The Earl of MALUESBURY, in moving the second reading of the Corrupt Practices at Elections remarked that he regarded it as the most important part of the work of Parliamentary Reform, for which the Government had been striving during the last two years. The character of the House was more important than its organisation, and therefore he held the bill in question to be of higher value than the extension of the franchise. The removal of the tribunal which should examine into alleged cases of bribery is the strong point of the Government measure, and upon this point Lord AISLIESBURY did not fail to dwell. A tribunal composed of men who are themselves exposed to the chance of similar accusa tions or suspicions could not command the entire confidence of the public. Without suspecting any actual collusion, we all know the tendency which prevails among themselves of a community to look with an indulgent eye on the failings of their fellows. The judges will bring to the inquiry a higher standard of feeling on the matter, and will be less likely to be insensibly influenced by sym pathy of habits and association. Earl RUSSELL, in deed, is apprehensive of undue severity on the part of the judge, who may be, be says, a very learned lawyer, but a man unknowing in the ways of the world, especially in the ways of elections. But our judges, as a general rule, can hardly come under such a de finition. They have attained their judicial positions after years of practice at the bar, and it is not easy to see how a man can be an experienced and suc cessful advocate without knowing something of the ways of the world. Few professions, we should imagine, are less likely to foster an overstrained moral sense, to encourage too exalted an expectation of human purity and disinterestedness, to make its members judge from theoretical standards of excel lence rather than from practical experience. lt is very true, as Lord RUSSELL remarks, that neither judges nor juries are infallible, but the same may be said of any tribunal whatever. Are we then to stop all judicial inquiries and real punishments? We have lately said the noble earl had a very important trial for aiding a murder. One party was found guilty by the jury and sentenced by the judge, who, it afterwards appeared, was entirely innocent. This proves nothing except that mistakes in human affairs must be sometimes looked for. We cannot on account of their possible occurrence let all offending go scot free. We have acted too much on the principle of excessive caution with re gard to our election petitions, and the result has been anything but satisfactory. If we can venture to hang a man after conflicting evidence, we can surely venture on disabling a too ambitious candi date from a seat in Parliament during a given period. In one case as error is irremediable, in the other it could be promptly rectified. Earl RUSSELL says that an agent may go to a candilde, aad say that the numbers are very close, Lut that for £5OO he will secure hint 50 votes. If the candidate agrees, no one will know anything of the matter ; if he refuses the agent may denounce him to the judge. But the judge will surely require some thing more than the unsupported assertion of an election agent before condemning tae accused. One of the chief advantages of selecting an expensive legal authority is that he will be accustomed to sift evidence, to examine witnesses, to extricate the truth from a mass of conflicting statements. If THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1868. the judge is to accept the word of the first man who speaks to him unhesitatingly, he will certainly be worse than useless; but we have no reason to sup pose that he will be so credulous and so easily imposed upon. Earl RUSSELL proposes that provision shall be made that any person found guilty by a judge under this Act may within three months have the question tried in the Court of Common Pleas and before a jury. But by the noble lord's own showing a jury is no more infallible than a judge, and thus if the per mission is once given the question might as well go on from court to court till it got to their lordships' themselves. It may be urged that no one in his senses would go to such expense for a seat in Par lioment, but the principle is the same, and the expenses of the Court of Common Pleas at al l events are not sufficient to frighten any one rich enough to bribe, although the prospect of pro longed litigation might very well deter the petitioners from opening the case at all. As the Lord Chancellor observed, in objecting to the proposed change, " We may assume that every person found guilty would avail himself of the ap peal, and the whole matter would he reopened.' Lord RUSSELL regrets that the bill should not have come up to the Lords at an earlier period of the Session, but, as Lord MALMESBURY reminded the House, it is a question which almost exclusively concerns the Commons, and on which they may therefore be allowed to decide. It was impossible that the evening could be al. lowed to pass over without allusion being made to the loss which the House of Lords has sustained in the person of one of its most venerable and respected members. The Lord Chancellor, in speaking of the lamented demise of Lord CRANWORTII, observed that the public had lost in him one who had passed through a long career of high judicial office without a tarnish upon his name, and that in the discharge of his great duties his courtesy of manner, his care ful and conscientious efficiency as a judge, and his sound and exquisite common sense had never been surpassed. Lord ROMILLY, as an old and constant friend and associate of the departed nobleman, added his tribute of respect and . affection, which was endorsed by the general feeling of all present. An unusual interest was attached to the questions put yesterday in the House of Commons to the various members of the Government in conse quence of Mr. ROEBUCK asking the First Lord of the Treasury whether any steps were to be taken with respect to a monument being erected to Lord BROUGHAM. In putting the question the hon. member expressed in very eloquent terms the claims of the departed statesman. Mr. ROEBUCK sail he made that motion for two reasons, both on account of the friendship he had with the lamented peer, and his own admiration for him, and because it would give the Premier an opportunity of expressing in a few apt and eloquent words his sentiments on the subject before the House, namely, the character and achievements of the departed statesman. The session coming to a close, we think Mr. ROEBUCK'S act was not only justified, but also praiseworthy for giving the House an opportunity of rendering its testimony in favour of one who was once its dis tinguished ornament, and occupied an influential position in the generation among which he flourished. In consequence of his departing from this scene at a distance, and still more through his complete re tirement from the active political world, so much attention was not given in some quarters to the death of Lord BROUGHAM as it may be said to have demanded and deserved. It is then the more ap propriate and satisfactory that the House of Com mons should at any rate have done somewhat to repair the neglect, and not allow the session to close without making some comment, and paying some tribute to his memory. It was retnarkable of Lord BROUGHAM, as Mr. ROEBUCK very truly said, that he was not only a philosopher, but one whose power of teaching was unequalled by any one of his time. lie was always a true friend to the people, and that at a period when that character was not, as it now frequently is, taken up as a passport to wealth and popularity. After some remarks from Sir GEORGE BOWYER and Mr. OSBORNE as to the propriety of Lord BROUGHAM being interred in Westminster Abbey, Mr. BUXTON said that the noble lord was one of the most remarkable men that this country has ever produced. He possessed great intellectual powers, and no one surpassed him in feelings of humanity. The African slave was much indebted to him, and his exertions in putting down the slave trade will long be remembered. Mr. DISRAELI, in replying to the question of the hon. member for Sheffield, declared it to be his opinion that some public recognition should be made of the career and character of Lord BROUG HAM, so that through the influence of art a lasting impression might be made on the public mind, and a recollection preserved of one who was one of the most considerable persons ever produced in this country. While intimating that Mr. ROEBUCK'S terse and effective sketch of the late noble man rendered it unnecessary for him to dilate upon the topic, the right honourable gentleman pronounced an opinion upon his merits which will bear comparison with any other admirable definitions he has given of departed authors. "It may truly be saidof Lord BROUGHAM that none more completely represented his age, and no one more contributed to the progress of the time in which he lived. Ile had two qualities almost in excess, which are rarely combined—one was energy, and the other versatility. The influence which crea tive power gave him, combined with strength of character, alone sustained him in a cause which, for its duration, as well for its dazzling feats, has rarely been known in this empire." Reci procating the views of the Government, as to the expediency of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Lord BROUGHAM. Mr. DIS RAELI said that some of our efforts of this kind had been failures. Some months ago the Premier said he mentioned the subject to his colleagues, and they all agreed in the desirability of some memento being made, if it could be done in a satisfactory manner. Mr.GLADSTONE, in an expressive speech, coincided with the general views taken by Mr. DIS RAELI, and we may dismiss the matter from our minds, trusting that the Government will be able to realise the wishes of many by performing a public duty of no mean character in the erection of a fitting mo nument to the memory of one so distinguished and so deserving of respect, as HENRI' BRoUGIIAM always proved himself to be through a life extended beyond the ordinary limits of mortality, and de voted to so many admirable purposes throughout. The Indian Budget was brought on by Sir STAFFORD NoaTucoTE, and the right hon. gf atle nian made an elaborate statement on the suldect. Three-quarters of a million less had been spent on vublic works than was estimated, and this Sir S. NOP.TIICOTE said was an undesirable saving ; but in other Budgets the account of extraordinary public works would be placed to capital and not to reserve, and that the deficit would be a surplus. Leaving this point, the Secretary for India has observed that only irrigation and special service works shall be considered extraordinary, and all should be provide I out of revenue. Thera is little or no change in the estimat2s for next year e , and Mr. MASSEY'S resolution not to make changes in the taxa tion has been agreed to. The Indian revenue has increased considerably since 1856, and Sir S. NORTH COTE has decided that in future the opium revenue should be taken in the estimates at a first average. Mr. LAING declared that the figures of this year's Budget showed that he was in the right in the opinion he entertained contrary to that of Lord HALIFAX, to the effect that the Indian revenue had recovered its equilibrium after the mutiny by the year 1862. Altogether the House seemed satisfied with the official statement presented to it. The Poor Relief Bill was then taken into consideration, and the religious clauses, as usual, provoked a good deal of discussion, but they were all eventually agreed to. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and a good deal of progress made. LATEST INTELL MEN GE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) HUNGARY. PESTII, July 27 (Evening). The Lowcr House of the Hungarian Diet to day authorised the prosecution of Deputy Roman for contravening the press law, and a fresh prose cution against Deputy Boszormenjia for a similar offence. The army bill will be discussed next Thursday. SERVIA. BELGRADE, July 27. This afternoon at 4.30 sentence was passed on the persons charged with the assassination of Prince Michael. Fourteen were condemned to death. Among the number are Kadovanooish and his two sons, Sima and Lestosveir Nenadoich. Prince Alexander Karayeorgievish and his secretary were condemned to 20 years' penal servitude, Philipp Shankovish to 20 years' hard labour in a fortress, and Jeremiys to 5 years' imprisonment. The execution of the prisoners under sentence of death will take place to-morrow morning at six o'clock. AMERICA. WASHINGTON, July 27 (Evening). Both Houses of Congress have passed the bill introduced by fir. Banks for the protection of naturalised American citizens abroad. It declares that it is necessary for the maintenance of the public peace that the claim of foreign Governments to allegiance from naturalised American citizens should be promptly and finally disavowed, and enacts : That any declaration, instruction, opinion, orl2r, or decision of any officer s o f the Uaited Sta es Go vernmeut which deni e s, r e stricts, impairs, or que • tious the right of expatriation is hereby de clared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Government, and therefore null and void. That all naturalised citizens of the United States while in foreign States, shall be entitled to, and shall receive from, this Government the same pro tection of person and property that is accorded to native-born citizens in like situation and circum- stances. The third section of the bill, as originally pro posed, contained a reprisal clause, which declared that when any citizen of the United States was de tained by a foreign Government upon the allega tion that naturalisation did not dissolve his native allegiance, the President should be empowered to arrest any subject of such Government in the United States. This clause was struck out. (Arrival of the Hansa, via Southampton.) NEW YORK, June 16, Noon. The Senate by 29 to 5 has confirmed Mr. Evarts as Attorney-General. The House of Representatives has concurred in the bill passed by the Senate removing political dis abilities from a large number of North Carolinians. Mr. S.nvard has officially aunouncel that twenty six States have ratified the Constitutional ameni ment changing the basis of the national representa tion and the suffrage. Mr. Seward and Mr. Burlingame have signed the theU Senate.ni te I States The and China, which treaty provides a ha tr s e b a e ty be ense t t ee to n full reciprocal relations , both political and commer cial, between the two countries, and also religious freedom and non-intervention on either side. Fifty deaths occurred yesterday from sunstroke in New York. Heavy m inufacturing business is generally suspended on account of the heat. SOUTHAMPTON , July 28. The North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa, from New York, has arrived here with 119 passengers for 37 sacks of mails, s th 3 i 4 s B p 4 o 4 rt l , f il or avre, for Paris, $10,700 London,and sBlr2el7Beono, for Bremen, and 3,000 packages of cargo. On the 16th, off New York, the Hansa spoke the Hamburg bark No. 377 ; on the 21st the Bremen bark Thierman ; on the 24th the American ship Lancaster ; on the 25th the British ship Alfred ; and on the 26th the American ship Gen.

The Royal Mail steamship Tasmanian, with the ' West Indian, Pacific, Australian, and New Zealand mails, via Panama, arrived here at 8.45 a.m. to-day. ' Her dates are from Melbourne, May 28 ; Sydney, June 1 ; Wellington, June 6 ; Panama, July 6 ; Jamaica, 11; and St. Thomas, 14. The Tasmanian brings 145 passengers, 79 sacks of mails, treasure valuel at $550,409, 80 bags of silver ore, and 1,600 packages general cargo. Owing to the illness of the mail sorters the usual ocean sorting has not been completed, and the mails are forwarded to London iu bulk by the 10.25 train this morning. Among the passengers are the French Bishop of New Zealand, Dr. Viard and his chaplain. Twenty-five passengers landed here , and the Tasmanian left at 9.45 a.m. for Southampton. The yellow fever in Lima and Callao, although not yet quite extinct, was rapidly disappearing. Mr. Alexander De Matuin, an eminent Belgian engineer, had died from the epidemic. Nearly the entire population of Islay had deserted that port, through dread of the fever. Fears of a revolution were still entertained at Lma. Many persons had been plafled under ar rest. Telegraphic communication was extending ra pidly throughout Peru. The Chilian Minister of War has announced to the Senate that orders had been scut to England for the construction of a Monitor. In EcuaJor the yellow fever had broken out in l'ortoviejo and Gipijapa very severely. The Ambato question was likely to lead to trouble between Ecuador and Colombia. A revolution took place in Panama on July 5. The election throughout the State had gone in fa vour of the Conservative party, and to keep them out of power, General Ponce, the commander of the forces, had imprisoned President Diaz, dissolved the existing legitimate Government, and installed a Provisional Government. It was feared that an armed collision might take place between the parties, otherwise the matter would be of little im port to foreign residents in the State. General Salnave is still besieged at Port-au- Prince. At Jamaica the weather was hot and dry. Native provisions was scarce. American bread-stuffs was high. Several Post-office robberies had occurred, the mail bags having been tampered with while detained by floods.

PARIS, July 28. 11.1.11. Prince Napoleon arrived in Paris this morning. A communication from Plombieres says :--" The Emperor is completely installed here, in the Hotel Napoleon, nearly all of which his Majesty occupies with his suite. The large room on the ground floor remains for the accommodation of the bathers, who are accustomed to assemble in it to play, converse, and perform musical pieces. For the service of the Imperial visitor only one small room on this floor is reserved for receptions. On the story next above are the dining-room, the salon of the officers in at tendance, the private apartment of the Emperor, his bedroom, that of his private secretary, and other chambers, all newly fitted up. The Emperor walks out every morning in the park, and has already visited the various parts of the town and the church. The whole place has been, as it ware, transformed for his reception, but for those who are not of the Imperial suite prices are fabulous. There are, how ever, here at present crowds of bathers."

Western Eastern SArlinian Austrian Lombard North of Spain Saragossa Roman LORD LYTTON AND MR. LONGFELLOW.—An absurd paragraph has recently appeared in reference to Lord Lytton and the author of " Evangeline." It is evidently based upon some ridiculous story fabricated originally in an American newspaper. It relates a wholly apocryphal anecdote about Pro fessor Longfello,v having been rebuffel very dis courteously by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton (as our great Novelist, Poet, and Dramatist was then called) upon the presentation to the latter of some letter of introduction by the American Poet, then on his third visit, six-and-twenty years ago, to England. The whole account, from beginning to end, is simply a flagrant untruth. No such interview ever took place. No such letter of introduction was ever written, presented, or re turned. At the time mentioned, namely, six-and twenty years ago, Sir Edward Lytton had no town house in London, and, in point of fact, was soj.Jurning ilarual—in Germany. It may be interesting to add now that, upon the occasion of Mr. Longfellow's re cent stay here in London, the two great authors met for the first time, to their mutual satisfaction, and that the American Poet would have been a guest of Lord Lytton's down at limebworth, had the for mer's engagements admitted of his taking such an additional excursion down into Hertfordshire. A Madras paper observes :—" The Englishman states that it is the current opinion that the Russians mean to advance on India. Their ex penditure amounts to millions, and their accumu lation of stores is ' vast.' There is a close alliance between Shere Ali and the Russians, and the Per sian Government is also in the league. They have got Turkistan, and nothing prevents them coming to Cabul. Shere Ali, the Shah of Persia, and the Russians ! A formidable triumvirate ! Neverthe less, we think our contemporary is raising the cry of ' wolf' without cause. We shall doubtless have to tackle the Russian Bear, sooner or later, but not quite yet." It is said, although we cannot credit the report, that there are more than 15,000 brothers and sisters connected with " Father Ignatius's" order of St. Benedict, and that " Father Ignatius" has recovered possession of his monastery at Norwich. —Rock. A writer in the Hants Advertiser states that six acres of wheat in the neighbourhood of Southamp ton were cut on the 6th instant, and a portion of it thrashed and ready for the miller by the 16th inst. Another writer in the same journal says that in Hampshire there will be an average crop of peas, winter beans, potatoes, and mangold wurtzel, that the wheat crop will be an abundant one, that the hay crop is short, and the swedes a failure. THE MANSION HOUSE.—Her Majesty's Ministers are to be entertained to-morrow evening by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress at a banquet at the Man sion House. It is the customary entertainment given by the chief magistrate of the City for the time being, regard less of political considerations, to the Government of the day, whichever party happens to be in power. For once, however, the Lord Mayor and the Ministers belong to the same political section, a circumstance which, as respects the Conservative party, comptrativaly seldom occurs. On* this occasion about 200 guests have been invited, and among the Cabinet Ministers who have accepted the in vitation of the Lord Mayor are Mr. Disraeli, the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gathorno Hardy, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Stanley, Sir John Pakington, Sir Stafford Northcote, and L )rd John Ma.nnera, with many of the rank and file of tho party besides. As usual, the dinner will be served in the Egyptian Hall. The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayo:oss will receive the company in the saloon of the Mansion House, and proceed thence about 7 o'clock to the banqueting-hall. An official programme of her Majesty's journey through France appears in the Paris journals. According to this the Queen will arrive in Cherbourg on the evening of Aug.s, and will leave immed;ately for Paris, whichshe will reach at six o'clock in the morning. She will spend that day in seeing Paris, and will be privately received by the Empress. At half-past seven a special train will convey her Majesty and suite to Geneva. The most complete in cognito will be obierved. No apparent preparation will be made at the railway stations, and no official authority or deputation will be admitted to the presence of the illustrious traveller. THE SLAVERY TO SMOICE.—Mr. Sheridan's clause in the Railway Bill compelling the companies to put smoking carriages on to every train is very well in its way, but it is to bo hoped that the concession to smokers will not be carried out so generally as it is done on the South-Western line. There it is almost impossible to find room in a carriage in which tjbaceo is prohibited, so large a portion of the train being sot sp trt fur the gentlemen who cannot go five or six miles without a p'pe or cigar. On this line the article used is generally a pipe, and the tobacco smoked therein is not always of the mildest or most fragrant kind, so that if a passong.:r is driven by a crowd into a smoking carriage he is not likely to have a very ploasaut journey. The slaves of tiibacco ought to be properly accommodated, but there is no goof cause why a train should be turned into one great smoking i own. Pall-Mall Gazette.

Read the works of James Morison, the Hygoist. No Vaccluatiou.—[Advertisemout.) CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, July 27 4 The report that the Government intended to suppress he seratin de ballottage at the elections to the Corps 'a6gislatif is so positively denied by the official journals hat I have no alternative but to believe that it is untrue, Emperor's Ministers possess a tolerable capacity for .hinge of purpose and sentiment, but they would hardly 'enture to term a report " absolutely false " (which is the xpression used by the Con,stitutionnel) and, then practically 'erify it. I need hardly remind your readers that the Change would have the effect of ensuring the election of a tandidate by a simple majority, and would greatly in :rease the chances of the present Imperialist majority being iustained. I have heard on good authority that there is no prospect whatever of the elections coming off this year. It is even announced that there will be a short session in November and December. 'I he elections are counted upon for next Nlarch. This statement has the confirmation of the Epoque, whatever that may be worth. The astronomers would lose their occupation were it not for the great catastrophe which is supposed to have scat tered the numerous fragmentary and irregular planets which revolve between Mars and Jupiter. At the last sitting of the Academy of Sciences a letter was read, announcing the discovery of the hundredth, small planet of the Juno and Pallas class. The discovery was made on the [Bth inst. by M. Coggia, at the Marseilles Observatory. With all due respect to the men of science, are they sure there is no danger of some of these fragments being discovered more than once ? It has been freely reported that the French translation of the Prussian report on the war of 1866 was published for the express purpose of creating ill feeling between Prussia and Italy. This is difficult to decide; but there can be no doubt whatever of the effect of the controversy which General La Marmora has so imprudently opened. The publication of Count Usedom's despatch proved, I fancy, that the Prussians were as rash as the Italians were ineffective. Apart, however, from all contro versy as to the merits of the argument on each side, I believe that there is very little chance, even if there be any requirement, for another alliance between the two countries. A small pamphlet, which is exciting great attention, has just appeared at Florence. It is marked by extraordinary precision of detail, and by many is attributed to General La Marmora himself. It throws the blame of Custozza entirely upon the King, in assigning the second in command only to La Marmora. The two generals who commanded the first and sth corps de arm& are also inculpated. The first, it says, made a mistake of route, and the other, knowingly, altered the plan of attaci' which had been assigned to him. Several meetings which have roused the suspicions of the police have, it is believed, been held in some of the wine-shops in the district of Mont Parnasse. Another village has been burned down. A fire broke out on Friday in the village of Dalmaz, in the department of Haute-Savoie. Everything had vanished, say the Papers, " in a quarter of an hour." M. D— is a merchant in a northern department. A few days ago his wife disappeared from the conjugal domicile, and was nowhere to be found. Beyond doubt, thought the husband, she has gone to Paris ; and with out delay he set off to the centre of French dissipation. At Paris his difficulties did not diminish. He lost fifteen days in vain searches, to the great detriment of his business. At length he received intelligence that Madame D had taken up her quarters at a certain hotel. Disguised as a journeyman mason, he watched the hotel in question, and speedily experienced the lively satisfaction of finding that his wife was really there, and of seeing her go out several times with a young man. To frustrate the destroyer of his peace, the aggrieved husband applied to the police commissioner, and by his assistance penetrated to the apartment of the faithless fair at one o'clock in the morning. The sudden apparition of three men -- the husband, whom she lid not recognise, and two police officers naturally startled the erring matron, and the usual result followed. The scream brought out in haste from the neighbouring bedroom the young man whom the betrayed merchant considered the source of all his woes. Grand tableau. The unmitigated villain was pointed out as the accomplice, and the police agent explained the object of his visit. The U.V., however, speedily put a new face upon affairs. Madame D— was his mother ! It appears that the lady was a widow when she assumed the cognomen of D—, and had a son, whose existence she kept a profound secret. She had resolved to come and live with her son at Paris, and she had the more readily decided upon that course because D— himself was frequently absent from home and could give no satisfactory reasons. She sus pected an intrigue. " Ah, " cried the enraptured hus band, " let us not deceive each other. I have a daughter whom I kept concealed, and my absence was caused by visiting her!" The police agents quitted the happy scene. Here is a story which passes current in Paris for fact. Many a play, nay, many a novel, has been con structed on less foundation.

The Temperature has not much changed. A south-west gale is blowing on the south-west coast of Ireland : at other stations the wind is light and variable. Much fog with mist is reported.

A charge of manslaughter was ma le against a lad named William Paternan, before the Bedford coroner, on the 25th May last, when ho was committed for trial, the coroner having no power to take bail. The evidence being of t'ie slightest, he was acquitted ; but for two months h 3 has been in prison, because he was unfortunate enough to have a criminal charge laid against him. We are actually threatened with a quiet Ireland. The Ireland of "Peep o'Day Boys," of Whiteboyism, of Ribandism, and Fenianism, is on dit, an Ireland of the past. But more, the Ireland of atrocious outrages, abduc• tions, assaults, and duels, is for the time non est. Instead thereof, we have Irish judges congratulating Irish juries on the absence of crime. But if Fenianism is dead its spirit still walks the earth. The wife of " Captain" Mackay has just given birth to a boy, which survived only two days. Its burial, says a Dublin corra• spondent, was made the occasion of a demonstration by the Fenian sympathisers. The coffin containing the body of the infant was placed on a bier drawn by two horses deco. rated with white plumes and green boughs. Shortly before eight o'clock p.m. a procession was formed, led by the bier, and followed by a number of young men as chief mourners, wearing crape tied with a rosette of green ribbon. After them followed some hundreds of young men marching in military order, four deep, each wearing a green leaf, or carrying a green bough. Then followed a long line of cars, and a numerous concourse of people closed the procession. The proceedings were conducted in an orderly and peace ful manner. From a communication addressed by a correspondent to toe Standard, it would almost appear as if it were now necessary to follow a telegram to its destination to inquire if it has safely arrived. At eleven a.m. on Thursday, July 16, a message for Littlehampton was handed to the c7erk, at " Station 5, Lothbury." The sender drove down the next day to the house to which he had addressel it. It had not ai r:ved. The next day brought no message, and he wrote to the secretary. A week has elapsed, and no reply to the letter ; ten days, and no telegram ! It would be interest ing to know to what mysterious limbo unanswered letters and unused telegrams are relegated in this lotus-eating department. Is a clerk kept on purpose to perform the " happy despatch "on a heap of documents, and thus lighten the labour of his fellows? Truly, the Go rernment has been none too early in its interference. _ _ _ fir - 4 fl i p. ‘,.., 4; Y. 4; ~.. Irina t 'al f - '' .: ' - tc" eirritat ~,...........-..r.,,v71.44,.... .11ER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, July 27. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, walked in the grounds this morning. Prince Arthur left Osborne for Chatham. EMIGRATION TO CANADA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—My attention has this morning been called to an article under the above heading in the columns of one of your contemporaries, complaining that the Emigration Department in Cinada is thwarting the efforts now being made by societies here to for ward a desirable class of migrants from London ; imputing to the French Canadian priesthood iu Lower Canada a hostility to Englishmen and Pro testants, and charging the Government of Canada with indifference, if not with positive opposition, to emigration. The immediate cause for these remarks is the alleged withdrawal of the grant formerly made by Canada to assist emigrants in reaching their destination in the interior, and the statements, if unexplained, cannot but have a most injurious effect on Canada itself, while they are also calculated to discourage the labours of a committee in London, whose well directed benevolence I most readily acknowledge. It is true that the grant which had been voted for some years to assist us in forwarding emigrants to their destination was this year reduced, not with drawn. It was found that the grant, instead of being required to aid persons coming to settle in Canada, had been in practice almost wholly applied to forwarding emigrants from the continent of Europe, who did not intend to settle in Canada at all, but whose destination was Illinois, Wis consin, and the other Western States pf Ame rica. The timber ships coming from the conti nental ports landed their cargoes of immigrants at Quebec. Many of the passengers represented themselves as wholly destitute, and as a matter of charity they were aided in their 700 miles of transit through Canada out of the grant in question. of :e7,000 emgrants who landed at Quebec in 1866 but 4,000 remained in the Province. It was frequently found that many of this class who were forwarded through the country at the public expense had actually money orders on their persons to consider able amounts. The facilities thus given to make the transit through Canada gratuitous seem this year to have stimulated parties interested in con veying German and Norwegian emigrants to the Wes' ern States to land unusual numbers at Quebec, many of them ' possibly desti tute, and the recent department order, to which reference has been male by your contem porary, was doubtless prompted by these in creased arrivals of persons who were merely journey ing through to a foreign country. Its intention, which was solely to check what will be acknow ledged as an abuse, appears to Lave been wholly misunderstood in certain quarters. Canada desires to stimulate a healthy system of emigration. The grant for this purpose this year (I speak from memory) is about $60,000 ; and there are pail Government agents in Quebec and in almost every city and town in the various provinces of Canada whose sole duty is to afford assistance and iud formation to and procure employment for intending settlers. The subject of emigration is one which under the new Constitution devolves jointly on the Govern ments of the Dominion and of the several Pro vinces, and negotiations have been going on be tween the two, for the purpose of instituting 3 sound and liberal system of attracting settlers to to the country in such numbers as can be properly provided for. It is perhaps unnecessary to notice the charge made against the French Canadian priesthood " that they are openly hostile to any accession to the British population and to any introduction of the Protestant element ;" but the testimony of a Protestant and an Englishman who has lived among them for more than 30 years may perhaps be of some value. I believe that there is no c9ua- •ry in the world where there is less religious bigotry and prejudice, or more liberal views and good feeling both as respects race and religion than in Lower Canada. The English Protestant s there aro iu a minority of one to five, an a whether as regards their respective Churches/ their educational institutions, their manage ment of charities, their political arrangements/ or other kindred subjects, where antagonism migh t be looked for, the most perfect good feeling Pre vails. Instances, indeed, are not unfrequent where French constituencies have returned English and Protestant members to Parliament in opposition to French and Catholic candidates. In years when there is unusual sickness and destitution among the emigrants the foremost in acts of benevolence are the French Sisters of Charity, who, regardless of contagion, minister as nurses with untiring dove tion to Catholic and Protestant alike. We have many obstacles to contend with, but from religious and national prejudices we have Pre videntiAly thus far been spared. I believe it is true that difficulties of the natu re referred to by your contemporary have occurred. Whether they are attributable to a misconcepti on of the recent action of the Government or the treme precaution of the shipowners to guard thou . - k selves against possible loss I cannot say ; but it 13 on every account desirable that a repetition of these, difficulties should be prevented, and that concert of action should exist between the authorities in CO' nada and any societies here whose efforts may be as t philanthropic and well directed as those of the London Committee.—Your obedient servant, JOHN Rosg.
