A farewell dinner has been given to Mr. Du CANE, and it attracted a large gathering at Col chester. The affair was altogether very interesting —and, indeed, it could not be considered exactly as a party affair, because the hon. member is retir ing from Parliament, and his acceptance of the office of Governor of Tasmania has necessitated his departure from the scene of his former interests, and the severance of the tie that bound him to his constituents. There is always something very pain ful in a leave-taking of this kind, however bright may be the prospects and cheering the anticipa tions that await the departing guest in his new sphere of action. As the chairman observed, how ever, in his effective address, hope sprang up in the human breast, and they might indulge the hope of welcoming Mr. Du CANE home again in future days. The affairs of this country could not be conducted with success and advantage, and the in terests of the distant dependencies of the Crown be efficiently cared for, if men of distinction and at tainments were not forthcoming who are willing to forego the claims of home and the attractions of social ties, iu order to serve their Sovereign and adapt their talents to the task that awaits colo nial government. In the present instance there is no fear that Mr. Du CANE will prove a failure, for he has displayed so much assiduous attention in the business of his own department that he has a fair chance of realising the hopes of his friends, and doing credit to the choice of the Government which has sent him forth. Too much importance cannot be attached to the claims of the colonies on our no tice and attention, and on the other hand the dwellers in those distant parts should duly ap preciate the compliment the authorities at home pay them in deputing for their government thos3 who are valued and prized at home. Mr. Du CANE was received with great applause, and made an interesting discourse. He confessed the difficulties he was labouring under in responding to so distin guished a mark of consideration as he then received, and expressed what would be the feelings of many in such circumstances, when he declared that he could wish the curtain were rising instead of falling upon the events of the last eleven years. The responsibility of his new venture rested with those who surrounded him, be cause, as he ingeniously showed, it was their sup port which gave him popularity, and their encour agement urged him on to exertions, whereby he became a member of her MAJESTY'S Government, and then followed his appointment. As often hap pens in such cases, the hon. member had to contra dict some rumours which had been afloat concern ing the reason of his departure to Tasmania. lie declared that he went actuated by the hope of being of service, and justifying the flattering hopes of his friends, and that it bad nothing to do with the state of affairs in the representation of the county. It must have been inspiriting to the assembly that Mr. Du CANE expressed in such glowing terms his sense of the powers of his friends, and his favourable opinion of the result of their ap proaching contest. At the same time he contributed to the entertainment of the meeting by quoting against himself some lines from an anti-Jacobin ballad, as one who sheathed his own sword and bade others draw theirs : " Bold John was a gallant captain, Iu battles much delighting ; He fled full soon on the first of June, But be bade the rest keep fighting." Certainly spirit and determination were not wanting in this speech, and the new Gover nor seems entering on his task with zeal and energy well calculated to insure success and inspire confidence. Under the circumstances of the case it was not necessary for Mr. Du CANE to enter into a general discussion of politics, as he was for a time taking leave of them ; but some of his remarks were true enough, as, for instance, when he said that their opponents are now taking the lion's share of the Reform Bill of last year, which could not be called by too bad names by them when before the House, and which in many a political battle they sought to overthrow. However, in tak ing leave, he declared his best wishes would attend all parties, and he trusted that the welfare of all would be promoted by PROVIDENCE, whether they were blue or yellow. The public will learn with satisfaction that affairs are more likely to prosper now in the inquiry that is taking place at Abergele, The last intelligence informs us that an aosessor has been appointed to assist the coroner in the task of inquiry at the in quest ; and this is a very fortunate arrangement. So much dissatisfaction was expressed in all direc- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1868. trans ans that it would have been quite impossible to have proceeded with anything like success had not some change taken place. 'The facts of the care are most, clear, and many will wonder that the: o could have arisen such a misconception as V ) the correct mode of conducting the b usiness ; but, of course, allowances must be made for the unusual character of the calamity, and due regard should be had to the feelings of the re latives of those killed by the accident. This cannot be done while strife and contention are the order of the day ; and the relief experienced at the settle ment of the dispute will be great in all directions, for the sympathy of the country has been fully aroused by the sad affair, and it will not abate its interest until a complete knowledge has been gained of all the chief particulars of the melan choly case. It is true that the question of compensation will not come before the jury now sitting, but then the most trifling details assume an importance on such an occasion as this ; and the mourners are not alone in their eagerness that no time should be lost in investigating the matter, and also that the inquiry should be conducted in the most suitable manner. All things taken into con sideration, it must be considered the best has been done in the last arrangement entered into, and we shall look forward in the hope of seeing the melan choly task completed as satisfactorily as the case will allow. The more ambitious portion of the feminine sex have found an able advocate of their claims and exponent of their grievances in the person of Miss LYDIA BECKER, of Manchester. This lady has seized the opportunity afforded her by the meeting at Norwich to lay before the public her views on those general questions which especially affect women. Miss BECKER had the satisfaction of col lecting a large audience for the Economic Section, before which her paper, " On the supposed differ ences in the minds of the two sexes of Man," was read on Tuesday last, some of whom, it is to be hoped, were convinced by the lady's logic, or at least silenced by her eloquence. Miss BECKER complains that while there is no question as to women's phy sical wants being the same as those of men, their moral and intellectual necessities are sup posed ,to be widely different. Every one admits that they are equally liable with men to suffer from hunger and disease, but the conditions which men find most profitable and most calculated to pro duce the highest enjoyments they appear to regard as unsuitable or unnecessay for women. To remedy these inequalities Miss BECKER proposes two con ditions. First, a liberal education, and the opportunity :of using the advantages it confers; and, secondly, political representation or a voice in choosing the Government or the laws. It is evident from these proposed remedies that Miss BECKER at least belongs to the class of strong-minded ladies who are quite ready to place themselves in the van and bear the brunt of the battle of life. So far as the question of a liberal education is concerned, the common sense of the public supports Miss BECKER. It is no longer thought necessary to confine the studies of an intelligent girl to the acquisition of mere superficial accomplish ments, and there are many facilities for the prosecution of serious studies. No girl need now remain ignorant because it is not possible for her to gain knowledge. There are colleges, and classes, and lectures for their benefit. One of the univer sities has organised a system of periodical examina tions for female students, and, according to the testimony of Mr. HEYWOOD, the University of London proposes next year to confer degrees upon female students who pass a " stiff " examination. It is not therefore reasonable to complain that women arc absolutely debarred from the higher intellectual enjoyments open to man. No doubt there are great deficiencies existing in the education of the majority of girls, but these are owing rather to their own and their parents' indifference to any thing better than to absolute difficulties. In spite of Miss BECKER'S confident assertions women are generally very little disposed for hard study and continuous application. Some ladies, like herself, may prefer intellectual enjoyments to all others, but these are no more to be taken as samples of their sex than the doctors and professors and philosophers now gathered at Norwich are to be accepted as specimens of the common tastes or acquirements of mankind. It is one thing to say that the educa tion of women should be extended and improved, should soar higher and go deeper, should be directed to the study of principles rather than to the acquisition of mere surface knowledge—and quite another thing to declare that there is no re cognisable difference in the natural abilities and mental qualifications of the sexes. When Miss BECKER, in answer to the chairman's ob - servation that delicacy and refinement are espe cially necessary in the female mind, declares that delicacy and refinement are equally necessary for men, she confirms our impression that in one respect at least she shares the common mental failings of her sex, and is only able to see one side of a question. As for the opportunity of turning the knowledge acquired to honourable and profitable account it is a branch of the subject which concerns a good many. There is one career or profession specially adapted for women, and for which they are in every way suited, which is being more and more taken out of their hands. We allude of course to the teaching of the young. Even Miss BECKER can hardly think this a derogatory office, since the lords of creation are very ready to engross it. Common sense, however, argues that an intelligent and well-educated woman must be fully competent to direct the studies of any child of ten or twelve, and it is very much to be regretted that strong minded women do not turn their attention towards securing this profession for their fair clients instead of aiming at the lawyer's wig or the doctor's lancet. The Americans in this, as in some other respects, are far in advance of us. The largest proportion of teachers in the States are females, who generally .. .have the instruction of children of both sexes. Yet no one can pretend that their standard of education is too low, it being, in fact, much higher than our own. We hope to see a radical reform in the fashion in this respect, and we are sure the cause of education would not suffer from it if once women were fairly trained. THE BUTE FESTIVITIES.—The corporation coin tnittee appointed to carry out the festivities at Car diff aro very active in arranging the programme for the decorations in the town and the illuminations at night. The festivities will commence on Saturday, the 12th of September, and will continuo for seven days. The illumi nation of the Town Hall, the erection, decoration, and illumination of the two triumphal arches, and the devices and ornamentation of the Bute Memorial Statue, have been entrusted to the eminent house of Messrs. J. Dofries and Sons, of London, whose marvellous success in the new brilliant art which they are popularising have never been surpassed in the grandest cities of the continent of Europe Over 300 men are now at work at the castle for the great event. The decorations and illuminations are being car ried out on a more magnificent scale than that which they did this time last year for the reception of the Belgians. A GIRL KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—During one of the late thunder- storms M. Perrard, a farmer at Cha vanges (Aube), was engaged, with the aid of his wife and daughter, aged sixteen, in helping his men to cart some oats, when the elect] ic fluid struck the girl and set her clothes on fire. Tho father rushed to her assistance and put out the flames, but she had been killed by the light ning, and her body waa burnt in Evora) places. COUESPONDENOE PROM PARIS, OltOgiArk OWN CORRESPONDENT.) - - PARIS, WZDNUDAY, August 26. the Ziberte has received from a correspondent " who is well acquainted with all that passes in the Court of the King of Prussia" some information on the subject of the Schwab. bach interview. Since the temporary retirement of Count Bismarck, says the informant of the Liberte, the old Prussian Conservatives and their policy have reappeared at Court. This party do not altogether approve of the events of 1866, and have accepted the results of the seven weeks' war only through the predominating influence of Count Bismarck. The prime object of their policy is a friendship or a species of Holy Alliance between Austria, Russia, and Prussia, which would result in the isolation of France. It is this party which, having regained some of its lost influence, has instigated the interview at Schwalbach. On that occa sion the King of Prussia offered the Czar, his nephew, his aid in bringing about once more the friendly relations which formerly existed between the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg. The Emperor did not repel, if he did not accept, this proposal. In consequence, the King of Prussia is now playing the part of conciliator, and shewing every attention to the monarch who two years ago opposed him in battle. The communications between the two are more frequent than they have been since Sadowa. The correspondent adds that the French diplomatists are fully aware of what is going on ; but the relations between France and Prussia are ostensibly cordial, whilst between France and Russia they are remarkably cold. At the official dinner, given by M. de Moustier on the occasion of the Emperor's Fete, the Minister proposed the toast of all the Sovereigns represented at Paris. Upon which, a diplo matist remarked, loud enough to be heard by everybody, " M. de Moustier gives this toast with all the more zest on this occasion because the Russian Ambassador is absent." All these details are of course "guaranteed." Count von Goltz is no better. The treatment of Dr. Gdrard van Schmitt, from which such marvels were ex pected, has hitherto done little or nothing to mitigate the sufferings of the diplomat'st. The Figaro states that the Spanish Ambassador at Paris has requested an interview between the Queen of Spain and the Emperor Napoleon at Biarritz, but that the Em peror, entirely from private motives, has politely declined. A pistol duel has recently taken place between M. F— and M. Jolivet, who is said to be the son of the deputy who was killed on the Place de la Concorde, on the 23rd of February, 1848, and whose corpse was found under a heap of sand near the Tuileries three or four days later. The fate of this family has been strange. The great-grand father of the M. Jolivet who has just stood fire was shot in a pistol duel, his grandfather was killed in one of the battles of the Empire, and his father met his death in the manner I have just mentioned. M. Jolivet has so far escaped the general rule, for though he received a wound in the stomach which was considered mortal, he is now deemed to be in a fair way to recovery. The sort of inspiration with which the official papers are endowed is a mystery at present; for whilst the Constitutionnel argues in favour of peace, the Pays pro nounces for war. As the latteris the better credited paper, it has thus some advantage over its adversary; so thatperhaps the inspiration is pacific, or at least cannot be very warlike, if the Constitutionnel has no share in the utterances of the oracle. The Constitutionnel is the centre of attraction at present. Yesterday it published a short note announcing that the Emperor and Empress would postpone tl.e'r departure for Biarritz until they had received a visit from the Count and Countess of Girgenti. The Parisian public is even more mystified by this state ment than by the discrepancy between the Pays and its colleague. Why the Emperor and Empress should delay their plans on account of a visit from two members of the House of Bourbon—for the Count de Girgenti is brother to the ex-King of Naples—is a problem which puzzles even the gossips of Paris. The House of Bourbon does not, as a writer satirically remarks, exercise a pre ponderating influence in Europe, and the interview might have taken place, one would think, at Biarritz. The most enterprising inventor cannot deduce a war rumour from this statement. It is therefore concluded that some modifications of the system of home administration are con templated. What ground tl.ere is for this conclusion lam unable to divine. There is further trouble in the Republic of Andorre. Indeed it would seem that revolution had established its headquarters in the little valley which constitutes the manes: State in the world. A provost had been appointed by the Bishop of Urget, but the Council-General would not accept the nomination. Public ire was at length so much excited against the unhappy provost that he was besieged in his house, and was in danger of his life. The Council-General has been dissolved, but anarchy still reigns in the Happy Valley. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. THE JURY SYSTEM. It hi stated with an air of authority that in con sequence of recent events, the judges have resolved to carry out a rather important alteration with regard to juries. Hitherto it had been the practice in cases of misdemea nour, no matter what may be the character of the offence, to allow the jury to leave the court if the case is adjourned, and this has been found in many cases to be productive of great inconvenience, if not detriment to the interests of justice. This proceeding also led to the following anomaly. In cases of felony, no matter how ever trifling the charge, the jury, to whom a prisoner is given in charge, cannot by law separate until they have given their verdict, but in a case where a defendant may be charged with obtaining property, in money, to the amount of £20,000, and which would be just the case where improper influences might be brought to bear upon the jury, they aro allowed to leave the court, and any one who pleases has an opportunity of cemnmnicating with them. This, it appears, I.owever, is merely a practice that has been in use, and -which the judges have allowed to continue. but it rests entirely on their discretion whether the course referred to is adopted or not; and it is understood that in future the judges have determined that when a prisoner is given in charge, the jury shall not be allowed to separate until they have given their verdict, and that this resolution will b 3 rigidly adhered to. -.~,- METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

Prussia has recently shewn herself favourable to Vie negotiations set on foot with the viewof establishing a common system of defence for South Germany. At first the scheme seemed likely to fall through, owing to the hesitation of Prussia and the equivocal attitude of the Baden Government. There seems no doubt, however, that the commission for the purpose of settling the details of the system of defence will now meet, and that the result will be favour. able to Prussia. A letter from Munich shews that Prussia would profit by the military union of the South German States, as the ultimate result would be the consolidation of all the provinces in the North German Confederation. The effective defence of the South by its own troops would enable the forces of the North, in case of war, to devote their whole attention to the Rhine frontier. the provincial Diets have opened without any notice able incident. As was anticipated, the Czech deputies from Bohemia and Moravia have absented themselves, but at only one place—Brunn—has this course had the effect of preventing a quorum of members from assembling. At Prague the Czech deputies have declared that their conscience will not allow them to take part in the present Diet ; they require that their motives for abstaining should be made known to his Majesty and to the Assembly, The Czech party is preparing a petition to the Emperor begging him to convoke a new Diet on the basis of a more liberal electoral law, and holding more justly in account the numerical relations which exist between the two nationalities in Bohemia. The inhabitants of the Muscovite Empire have found .mother sensation in addition to the discovery of the very mysterious and secret society for the advancement of fire and pillage. An old Russian peasant, after a retreat of several years, which we presume he devoted to prepara tion, has suddenly made his appearance as a prophet. Great has been the excitement caused by his predictions. He perambulates the country, announcing the speedy destructiin of the Crescent and the appearance of the Cross of the Greek Church on the dome of St. Sophia at Constantinople. The Russian Government, we are naïvely told, permits this popular prophet in his own country. perfect liberty of action and language. The seer in no wise attacks the laws and the administrations Russia. There are many wise men of this description in various parts of Europe, for the maxim that no man is a prophet in his own country does not hold when he happens to foretell events highly agreeable to despotic Governments. But why the several years of pro. postionj _ THE LATE JUDGE BERWICK. Mr. Hall, Q.C., on taking his seat as deputy judge at the Dublin Bankruptcy Court, in the room of the late Judge Ber wick, who was amongst the dead in the fearful accident at Abergele, said: I think I would only be consulting the feelings of both branches of the profession in paying a mark of respect to the memory of the late lamented Judge Berwick by adjourning the court after discharging any pressing or important busi ness. It is not my intention to allude to the high and dis tinguished talents and the many eminent services rendered by the late judge, as well as the pains and zeal with which he discharged his judicial duties. I need not say it to you who are the better judges—l shall leave it to others to speak of these matters, as they can do it much more efficiently and ably than I can. I was acquainted with him in private life, and regarded him— as all his friends did with the greatest affection and esteem. He was an excellent son— that I know personally—and an excellent brother and friend. I therefore feel I shall best consult your wishes by manifesting in the only way that we can our respect for his memory by allowing till to-morrow an adjournment of all the business of the court that is not of a peremptory character. W. Levy said, as one of the oldest practitioners in that court, and ono who knew Judge Berwick intimately, he fully concurred in every word his lordship had said ; and, in doing so, he was certain that be expressed the feelings of both branches of the profession. Tho court then ad journed. THE COLUMBUS OF TROUVILLE. M. Alexandre Dumas, Ben., writes as follows from Trou ville :—" Trouville has become the fashionable sea-bathing place. It has beaten Dieppe, Havre, Etretat, and Villier, and rivals Biarritz. I ought to be proud of this success, for the town is my America, and I have this in common with Columbus, that I have not given my name to my discovery. That event happened in 1831. The place was then at the end of the world ; three days were required to reach it ; and it was the Stetimus hie tandem of the Parisian tourist. One day a commercial traveller appeared there ; another day an artist. Neither history nor legend has preserved the name of the former, and the remem brance of the latter is only due to its owner's celebrity. He was the idealist Paul Huet, who contends in every exhibition with the realist Courbet. I was the third voyager who approached the locality. From the Trouville which I found in 1831 to that of to-day there is the difference between the Otaheite of Bougainville and that of Dupetit-Thouars. When I first went there the village contained fifteen or twenty fishermen's huts, a dozen thatched cottages, a population of 150 souls, and a single inn, the Auberge de la Plage. At present there are 1,000 houses, 5,000 inhabitants at ordinary times, and 15,000 during the bathing season, with twenty-five hotels, some of them palaces. In 1831 people walked about in shirt-sleeves or blouses, sometimes even still less clad. At this moment the rule is to dress three times a day, and occasionally the actors of the Com4die-Francaise come and perform there. In addition, there are splendid races, concerts, promenades, picnics, balls, magnificent toilettes ; in fact, all the pleasures of the seaside." THE CRANE ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER. Some details are now to band of the crane accident at Manchester. It occurred at the timber-yard of Messrs. Bowden and Edwards, Brook-street, Manchester, by which one man lost his life and six others were very seriously injured. It would appear that the men were engaged in moving a boiler weighing about seven tons, and for that purpose two large travelling cranes were being used. The cranes were moving along the tramways at a height of about thirty feet, and six men were engaged in working them, when, owing to the great weight of the boiler, one side of the tramway gave way, and the two cranes and the machinery which connected them—covering a span about fifty feet—were hurled to the ground, bury ing the men among the debris. Another man, who was engaged in the yard when the accident took place, was knocked down and sustained very serious injuries. Two other men, who were on the tramway, had very narrow escapes. The injured men were removed to the Royal Infirmary as soon as possible ; and one of them, a labourer, named Thomas Murray, aged 33, residing at Sartor street, Charles-street, who had sustained a severe scalp wound, died at three o'clock. Six others are suffering severely. THE NORTON FOLGATE MURDER.—In reply to an appeal from the friends of the condemned convict Mackay, the Home Secretary has intimated that he sees no reason for interfering with the due course of law. Mackay will be the first convict executed within the walls of Newgate. SHOCKING MURDER IN FRANCE.—The keeper of a small inn in the outskirt of Buxerolles, near Poitiers, named Gas, and his wife, have just been murdered by a man with whom they were on terms of intimacy, and who had dined with them on the day of the crime. He returned to the house late in the evening when the couple were alone, and taking advantage of a moment when the woman had gone to the cellar to fetch something which he had ordered, shot the husband in the head with a revolver, and then stabbed him several times in the back. Thinking Gas was dead, the murderer, whose name was Babin, went to the cellar, and after breaking . the woman's arm with a pistol-shot, and inflicting other wounds, he threw her down a well ninety feet deep. The husband before he expired was just able to give an alarm to some neighbours, and to describe the nature of the attack. The motive for the crime had been to obtain possession of a sum of £2OO which Gas had in the house, but which Babin was not able to find, as it was afterwards discovered concealed in a bed. The murderer was soon after arrested. The Waterford Mail states that an unpleasant rencontre took place between Sir Henry W. Barron and Mr. S. T. Grubb in that city on Monday. Both gentlemen were prosecuting their canvass and met in the street. Sir Henry, says the Mail, accosted his rival, and wished to know why he dared to canvass the city. Mr. Grubb responded that he had as much right as his rival, and would do so. Sir Henry, we are told, then asked him as to the truth of some statements he heard Mr. Grubb had made. Mr. Grubb denied having made them. Sir Henry replied, " If you made them you are a liar," and said " he would horsewhip him from one end of the quay to the other ;" to which Mr. Grubb retorted " by defying him, or any of his name, to lay a finger on him." During the rencontre language was used by both the candidates which sbews both of them to be well qualified to pass an examination in Billingsgate. The most opprobrious terms were applied to each other, and at the close of the inter view Mr. Grubb turned into an adjacent shop and pur chased a large blackthorn stick, with an immense ferule, He was seen later in the day parading the quay, evidently Prepared to defend himself vi ct amis. TIIE GREAT CORNWALL CHURCH CASE. —The Tregony Church case, which was for so many months before the courts of law, and ultimately before the House of Lords, has now passed its final stage, an important prin ciple of ecclesiastical law having been settled. The Rev. Mr. Marshall, the patron of the rectory of Tregony with Cul , y, Cornwall, presented to it, in 1858 the Rev. Mr. Reid, whose " letters " were not, in the opinion of the Bishop of Exeter, sufficiently countersigned by bishops, although they were duly signed by three beneficed clergy. men to whom Mr. Reid was known. The Bishop of Exeter refused to institute him, and took no further notice of the matter, but at the close of six months claimed the living by reason of lapse, and collated to it the Rev. J. H. C. Borwell, a curate of the diocese. The patron took pro ceedings against the bishop, and the Court of Common Pleas held that the bishop had no right to interfere with the patron's privilege, that what the bishop asked for in the way of testimonials he was not warranted in insisting upon, and that he improperly refused Mr. Reid's institu tion. The case went to the House of Lords, and their lordships, acting upon the opinion of the judges, decided that the Court of Common Pleas was right. Mr. Reid has now, therefore, just been admitted to the living after ten years' litigation, the patron having, after that long ptAiggle, tilmallialegal right of presentation.

At the beginning of the war Eugene had only 40,000 men to oppose to the Austrian army of upwards of 56,000, com manded by the Archduke John. Prince Eugene was defeated by the Austrians at Sacile on the 16th of April, and retired to Verona. When, however, the Archduke John went north after the battle of Ratisbon he was pursued by Eugene and defeated on the Piave ; he was followed into Hungary, where Eugene again defeated his ad versary at Raab, and, after storming that fortress, joined Napoleon's army just before the battle of Wagram. Eugene's troops, like La Marmora's, were chiefly composed of Italians ; and, as shown above, they were less numerous than those of his adversary, whereas La Marmora had upwards of 200,000 men against only 80,000 Austrians. The 7 imes notices the fact that a black column surmounted by a white eagle, and inscribed with the records of a century of failures, has been erected in one of the Swiss Cantons in perpetual commemoration of Polish genius and courage. Nine times in the last hundred years have the Polish people, according to this monument, essayed, at the cost of infinite bloodshed, to establish or recover their independence. Nine times have their efforts proved abortive, but the commemoration, nevertheless, is justified by facts. To this hour the Poles have really preserved the purity of their race, and retained their longings for a nationality. They are entitled, therefore, to describe the genius of Poland as " unsubdued." The " Polish ques tion " is within a certain sphere a living question still, though we need go no further than the re ports of this very ceremony to discover the diffi culty of its solution. We may suppose that the Poles still desire to recover their country. What their sympathizers desire is probably the example of a successful insurrection. One difficulty in the way of the former aspiration was freely acknow ledged at the meeting. Where is the country which the Poles wish -to recover? Where and what is their Poland to be ? Poland is the name for almost any portion of Eastern Europe, accord ing to period. It once included large territories of Russia. Some provinces, once part of Polish dominions, are now absolutely German. In others more specially Polish the landowners alone are now Poles, the peasantry being Russians, and the townspeople Jews. If language is to be the gauge or measure of nationality, what, under such cir cumstances, would be the result ? It is a very hard problem, and we cannot wonder that all at tempts to solve it have hitherto failed. The Telegraph, discussing the chances of war, observes that the issue really depends upon the question how far the discontent of which we have seen some manifestations in France is general in that country. To that question nobody out of France, and very few people in France, can give any definite reply. The Cardinal and the most in jurious defect of the Imperial system is, that it pro vides no adequate means for the free expression of public opinion ; hence the ruler and the ruled have no sufficient means of understanding each other. Against the triumph of the monarchical candidate in the department of the Gard we have to set the victory of M. Grevy in the Jura. Against the un precedented sale of the Lanterne, we must place the extraordinary list of applications for the recent lean. Napoleon 111. knows France better than any man living, but no amount of personal know ledge can supply the place of that perfect insight into public opinion afforded by a free press and free representative institutions. Everything, in fact, depends upon the estimate which the Emperor may form of the extent to which France is dissatisfied. If he should come to the conclusion that the discon tent is really serious, one cannot doubt that he will seek to gratify the popular passion for military glory ; knowing, as he does, that the mere ap proach of war will stifle all domestic rivalries, and that victory would once more identify his dynasty with the greatness of France. But if Napoleon 111. conic to this conclusion at all, he will come to it most reluctantly. Every instinct of prudence recommends to him a waiting policy. One of the main causes of the weakness exhibited by the Em pire is the knowledge that to a great extent it depends for its continuance on the life of one man. But in the course of a very few years' time the Na poleonic dynasty will hold out fair promise of a peaceable succession. The Prince Imperial is al ready more than twelve, and in another half-dozen years he will be of an age, if need be, to ascend the throne without the perilous experiment of a regency. Obviously, therefore, while his only son is still a. mere child, the Emperor has the strongest personal motives for avoiding the terrible risk in volved in a contest with Germany. Nor can the Telegraph see much reason to imagine that the French nation is anxious for war. FIRST WARWICKSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.—The annual inspection of the Ist Warwickshire Rifle Volun teers, by Col. Sir E. F. Campbell, Bart., has just taken place, and the result has been that the inspector has been pleased to speak of the corps as a "credit to the county.' To have the high testimony of so experienced an officer is a credit to the men themselves, and speaks well for the colonel and officers of the battalion. The corps numbered nearly 900 men, and is under the command of Col. Ratcliff. The men were put through a number of movements, all of which were executed in capital style. Sir E. F. Camp bell, in addressing Col. Ratcliff, said it was always a source of great congratulation to inspect the battalion, because he always saw something to praise in the way of imprcva ment. On the present occasion the muster was the largest he had ever seen of the battalion, and the men had been exceedingly steady in their drill. The entire movements, especially the marching past, gave great satisfaction. He had therefore great pleasure in congratulating them upon upon their high state of efficiency. With regard to the review at Windsor, the conduct of the men of the Ist Warwickshire was exemplary, and the battalion ought really to be the pride of the county. Lord Leigh also con gratulated Col. Ratcliff, and said he could not add one word to what Col. Sir E. Campbell had said respecting the manner in which the men had gone through their move ments, except to say that ho endorsed all that had been said. Col. Ratcliff, in reply, thanked Col. Campbell for the excellent report he had promised to make of the bat talion. It was very gratifying to know that their vigil ance and perseverance had been rewarded by kind expres sions of approval. He sincerely trusted that the men would continue to improve until it could be truly said cf them that they were the best drilled battalion in the king dom. The gallant colonel then congratulated Lord Leigh on his recovery of health, and said his presence would give an impetus to their exertions and animate them to farther improvement. Three hearty cheers were then given by the men for the Inspector, three for Lord Leigh, three for Col. Ratchff, three for the Adjutant, and three for the officers. The men then marched back to Bingley and previously to being dismissed were addressed by Col. Ratcliff, who thanked theta for the manner in which they had gone through their drill.

The North German Gazette expressos the opinion that opera tions on the Bourse, having assumed the character of a special occupation, ought to pay taxes like other branches of industry. The argument, says a Berlin letter, is not entirely conclusive, but the more fact that it is brought forward by the Gazette confirms the rumour that the Mini ster of Finance intends to propose a duty on Bourse tran sactions. • • • t.CHanlst HER MAJESTY. We are requested to contradict on authority the report which has appeared in the public press of a man having been arrested at Lucerne on suspicion of being a Fenian with designs against the life of the Queen. Her Majesty has been subjected to no annoyance of any kind during her stay in Switzer land, and nothing has occurred to interfere with the excellent arrangements madefor her comfort by the federal and local authorities. BERNE, Aug. 23. As already telegraphed, the statement of the Gazette de France that two English policemen had arrested at Lucerne a Fenian meditating an attack upon the Quee❑ was based upon a complete misap prehension of the facts. The real state of the case lies in a nutshell. An unfortunate Englishman, one Charles William Wool—become insane it is ima gined in consequence of the recent great heat—was detected last Wednesday attempting to penetrate into the apartments of the Queen, evidently not, however, with any criminal intention, but, as he himself plainly declared, to see her Majesty face to face. As the poor fellow had, neither friends nor relatives in the neighbourhood, in whose care he could be placed, and further appeared only scantily supplied with money, he was handed over, after having the state of his mind settled beyond all doubt by medical testimony, by the police authori ties at Lucerne to those at Berne, that he might be sent back by the English Legation to his home. lilE ABERGELE ACCIDEN7. ADJOURNED INQUEST. ABERGELE, Wednesday.—The inquest was re sumed shortly before 12 o'clock this morning be fore Dr. Pierce, coroner for the district. Lord Farnham, the Hon. Robert Maxwell, Sir Henry Edwards, and Mr. Berwick, brother of the late Judge Berwick, were present in court. Mr. Mason, assistant manager of the London and North- Western Railway, represented the railway ; Mr. E. Woods, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Thomas Outen, Lord Farnham's servant, and others. On the court being opened, Lord Farnham rose, and, addressing the coro ner, said the duty he had to perform was one very painful to his feelings, but he would endea vour to discharge it without unduly hurting the feelings of any gentleman in the court. iie spoke the sentiments of every one who attended the meeting of relatives of the deceased which was held yesterday after the funeral, when he said that there was a solemn impression upon the minds of all that the duty which, in the providence of God, bad de volved upon the coroner was one which he was totally unfitted to perform. (Hear, hear, and ap plause.) He spoke not only the sense of all those who were there as mourners for the dead, but there was certainly a strong and unanimous feeling on the part of all those who had business in the court, that there was a total absence of all dignity and of all legal knowledge displayed by the coroner in the conduct of the case ou Tuesday ; and he, as a mem ber of the relatives of those who were lost, should feel it to be his duty—and he was authorised to take the course by the declared sentiments of all the rela tives—to make known in the proper quarter the absolute necessity of relieving the coroner of the almost superhuman difficulties With which he was surrounded in the inquiry. He eon- . sidered that the mighty interests at stake, not only those of the London and North Western Railway , but of the public which travelled over the railways of the kingdom, rendered it necessary that the con duct of the inquiry should be placed in other hands, and he should communicate that view to the Homo Office. (Applause.) His lordship concluded by say ing he hoped he had discharged his unpleasant task without unnecessarily wounding the feelings of the coroner, and that was that he had done his veil best. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Wood, solicitor, protested against the re marks of Lord Farnham, which he said were of a character such as he had never before heard ad" dressed to a judge. (Applause.) He bad himself had no occasion to be dissatisfied with the con duct of the coroner ; and, with all respect to Lord Farnham and the relatives of thc° killed by the accident, he must say that he did not think the unusual difficulties with which the coroner was surrounded had been lessened by the bearing of those gentlemen. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Parry, a juryman, here rose, and addressing the representatives of the press, but evidently re" (erring to the work of a single member, said h e could not refrain from expressing his dissatisfact ion with the manner in which the 'coroner and jail'' , L ittl e inhabitants of Abergele, had been treated by tu, s press. It was a most unfair thing to come the ret o attend an inquest, and then to write " sneering and silly remarks about the people of the villag e ', and even abuse the room in which the inquest vii" held, calling it a " conjuror's room," and the table at which the jury sat a conjuror's table." (" g ear, hear," and applause.) The Coroner (who appeared to be much agitat e made a few remarks in reply to Lord Farnb alu . ; He was understood to say that he had acted in strict accordance with the law that ruled a coroner's court ' and that he had no doubt that the spirit of his 1 °7; 0 ship's speech emanated from the gentleman sat by his side (Mr. Hesketh). Lord Farnham said he had been influenced bade. single person in the remarks which he bad in le He spoke his own feelings, and those of the vlba body of relatives of the killed. He repud iate s having said one single word in disparagement of w character of the coroner. He pitied him. The subject then dropped, and the court proceedea to hear evidence. The first witness called was - l et Thomas Oaten, brother of Edward Oaten, vale to the late Lord Farnham. The witness had year erd, day seen among the remains of those killed th e be which from the peculiar formation of the trunk ille recognised as that of his brother.
