Q:;TJJt - Sllll, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 8, 1868. Birmingham seems to be in a state of great ex citement, and will no doubt witness some stirring scenes before the election takes place. Ward meet ings are held every night, and four out of the five candidates attend them. It is now becoming a matter of uncertainty whether Mr. BRIGHT will succeed in getting both his fellow Liberal candi dates returned with him, for the Conservatives have their meetings, nearly as well attended as their rivals. At one of the meetings the other night Mr. DIXON made remarks upon the Minority Clause which are worthy of notice, and show the cleverest can be sometimes outwitted, and the wisest make mistakes. The coarse adopted by the philosophical Radicals has evidently been a great disappointment to some of their friends, and Mr. DIXON gave tongue to their wrongs in the most pathetic manner. The only consolation he could find in the matter was that they woul I change their opinions if in practice this clause did not work well, and answer the desired ends. This is putting con venience above principle with a vengeance, and we 6hould question if these gentlemen who have been at such pains to enunciate their views to Parlia ment, and the public will thank the progressive party at Birmingham for the strange interpretation put upon them. Suppose, said Mr. DIXON, that the Liberals should not be able to divide their votes with anything like equality, and suppose that for fear of Mr. BRIGHT being left out his votes were enormously ahead of those of the other Liberal can didates, why in that case a Conservative might be slipped in. He placed this view of the case before Slr. MILL, and that gentleman had, it appeared, returned the astonishing reply that if this should occur " he should regard the measure as a failure, and wish to have it repealed." This will shake the confidence of his disciples if it be found that the great philosopher himself is uncertain and wavering in his own views, and just when some great change has been effected in pursuance of his advice that he turns round and declares it to be a failure after all. The concluding observations of Mr. DIXON arc, however, the strangest things of all, and re veal a political morality that is more than ques tionable. The philosophical Radicals were, he de clared, premature in their support of the scheme for the representation of minorities, and then follows his own proposal for remedying this evil. They should, first of all, have " secured the representa tion of the great mass of the people, and obtained adequate representation for the great towns, and when they had accomplished that, they might have supported the refinement of representing minorities:" This is as absurd as it is im practicable. If this was the principle it could make no difference who was returned or who defeated, and it is only one indication of the weakness of a cause for its advocates to talk after this fashion. It would be one-sided legislation indeed to aim at party triumphs, instead of practically illustrating important principles of right, and carrying out those objects which are the most worthy of attain ment. At any rate, we cannot compliment the Liberals of Birmingham upon the view they take of this question, or upon the new method of solving the enigma which they have fixed upon. On Saturday the members for South Devon, Sir MASSEY LOPES and Mr. S. T. KEKEWICII, addressed a meeting. Same diversion was caused at first by the Chairman addressing himself to the disorderly party who had attended, and they did not brook the observations very quietly. Mr. KEKEWICII made a very straightfor ward speech, and observed that the various candi dates iu soliciting the suffrages of the electors too often laid great stress upon which Minister they would support, instead of avowing a creed of their own. Ile himself was an " independent" supporter of the present Administration. Respecting the ex penditure of the country, the hon. member did not object to it in consideration of the emergencies which occasioned it, and there was great force in his comments on the improvement of the condition of the soldier. The committee which sanctioned the extra pay and the increase of fortifications was composed of men of all shades of opinion, and this fact should most certainly be borne in mind when we are considering the merits of the question. Mr. KEKEWICH likewise remarked upon education, and declared himself in favour of it, though he decidedly objected to compulsory education, and said that it was unsuited to the genius of the English people. The honourable gentleman paid a complement to the Conservative party for the great Reform Bill which they had given to the country, and declared that Mr. GLADSTONE'S was not one fourth so comprehensive in its character as that was. Like his colleague, Sir MASSEY was against compulsory education, and also to paying for it out of the rates, adding very truly that " rates were too hii:4h already." As to the doings of the Liberals in respect to the Rinderpest Prevention Bill, there was no harm in having as much foreign stock as they liked, but it was not suitable that they should be allowed to affect all herds. This is very correct reasoning, but unfortunately all attempts to convince certain parties was useless, and the year I was lost in consequence. Mr. KINNAIRD at Perth set himself to work to defend Mr. GLADSTONE through thick and thin, and he declared that history would do him justice in respect to the course which he had taken regarding Ireland. Meanwhile great injustice is to be done to the right hon. gentleman's opponents, for Mr. KIN NAIRD declares that the country is indebted to the Liberal leader, and not to the Conservatives, for the ample measure of Reform which had become law. This 4 is really a very extraordinary way of viewing the, matter, but, after all, Mr. DISRAELI and his ftlends ought to take it as a compliment, for it - .shows that their rivals are under the impression that the bill in quesion is so good that they must lay claim to some portion of its merits, whether rightly or wrongly the country must decide for litself upon mature reflection. After so many weary months of etruggle and per prfexity ; after serious confusion and loss entailed upon a wide circle ; after general excitement and embarrassment, changes of Ministry, dissolutions ( ►f Parliament, and a so,:tial and political deadlock, which was without a parallel in our colonial his tory, the great Victorian problem is at length aolv►ed. The DARLING grant is numbered among the :things of the past, the supplies are voted, the Ministry of the majority is reinstated, and all the complicated machinery of public life works . busily and smoothly as of old, after the long and, at so me moments, alarming interference. Like the attivent of the fortunate Prince in the old legend of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1868. the Sleeping Beauty, a sudden touch has set all to work again, and TENNYSON'S picture of the pages continuing their love stories, and the flies _finishing their journeys up the wall, as if half a minute in- stead of a hundred years had elapsed since they began them, would read just now like a satire on the Assembly at Melbourne. And all this change, strange to say, has been worked by a communica- ion from the Colonial Office. After all the cavil and criticism about the Duke of Buckingham's despatches, it was the timely arrival of a communication from Downing-street which even- tually solved the problem. Sir CHARLES DARLING has re-entered her MAJESTY'S service, and by so doing has cut the Gordian knot for the colonists, LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BAVARIA. MLTNICII, Sept. 8. The Empress of Austria arrived here last evening at eight o'clock from Garathausen. Iler Majesty remained for a short time at the railway station, and then proceeded on her journey to Vienna. ORRESPONDENCE 17t9_1( PA IA (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.} PARIS, MONDAY, September 7. The reduction which has just been made in the effective strength of the Prussian army is rigorously enforced by the Berlin journals as a guarantee of peace. This reduction, as your readers will be aware, consists in delaying the calling out of the recruits for a period of three months, and in dismissing the men of the reserve now on drill. The National Gazette of Berlin is assured that these measures have been adopted simply through economy, but the North German Gazette not only considers the reduction a pledge of peace, but complains bitterly of the conduct of certain sections of the French press in striving to excite a hostile feeling. Its complaint is levelled chiefly against some of the Opposition papers; and it adds that "no reasonable man on this (the Prussian) side of the Rhine would think of holding the French Government respon sible for these inflammatory demonstrations." This article of the North German Gazette has not met with any very polite reception from the Liberal journals of Pa is. Another article in the Prussian Cross Gazette has received attention, though of a different kind: The Cross Gazette is not so immediately an official paper as its North German brother, but it represents a very influential party amongst the entourage of King William. The Cross Gazette admits that the war like tone adopted in some circles in France arises from no other motive than that of recovering the military prestige of France which the events of 1866 have to some extent diminished. It also agrees that the French Government, although sincerely desiring to maintain peace, is obliged to take into account the disposition of the army, and it is precisely the difficulty of this ambiguous situation which has brought about a hesitating and undecided policy. This attitude the Cross Gazette deems dangerous to the quiet of Europe, and it applauds the tone of public opinion in England, Austria, and Germany. It would seem from these articles that the Prussians are as much puzzled as the French themselves to interpret the ambiguity shewn in the high places of France. Neither the opinions of the Cross Gazette nor of the North German Gazette represent the Prussians as a nation. The greater part of them are thoroughly disgusted with the conduct of the French Government. Whether it means peace or war is indifferent ; its uncertainty is in itself fatal to the quiet and prosperity of Europe. The number of La Lanterne, which was to appear on Saturday, but which languished in obscurity for want of a printer, was made up in a novel fashion. It consisted entirely of extracts from the writings of the Emperor himself. The conglomeration was, however, so extraordinary that no printer could b e found to undertake the risk. M. Rochefort, therefore, triumphantly declares that not even the works of Napoleon can be published in France. Cutting cross extracts from the works of an opponent is not a generous mode of c tr) ying on warfare but M. Rochefort is enabled to plead some excuse. A strike amongst the printersof Marseilles has produced lamentable consequences. None of the newspapers could be published, and editors were in consequence obliged to content themselves with bulletins of the most - meagre description. The Gaulois credits the Empress with some expressions which will be received with small satisfaction at Florence. Walking in the forest of Fontainebleau with her guests, the Empress testified to the admiration she felt for the sister-in-law of the Count de Girgenti, the wife of the ex-King of Naples, and the heroine of Gaeta. "She is Joan of Arc become wife and mother." said the Empress, amongst other praises. Crime in France is generally characterised by some ex ceptional feature. Voici an incomprehensible murder. A hawker, 69 years of age, was assisted by a woman servant, aged 25. This woman was courted by another hawker, w'Aom she married. The old man endeavoured by every means in his power to induce her to stay with him, or even to return after marriage, but in vain. He ultimately sought her out at her husband's shop, and attempted t , ) drag her away. Her husband ran to her aid, but the old man fell upon and stabbed him in eight places. A man of 69 commit ting murder through jealousy is an example as rare as deplorable. _ _ _ It is said that the refugees collected in London are about to establish a weekly paper at Paris. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. _ -_.O.- -_--__ METEOROLOGICAL REFORTS. SPAIN. MADRID, Sept. 7. The Duchess of Tetuan died this morning. The rumour that the Queen will probably have an interview with the Emperor Napoleon during his sojourn at Biarritz is revived. AMERICA. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued his usual monthly statement of the public debt and the cash in the Treasury of the United States. The former amounted on the Ist inst. to $2,643,250,000, being an increase of $9,750,000 a 3 compared with last month, and the latter to $107,500,000, being a decrease of $2,500,000. CROOKHAVEN, Sept. 8, 5.30 a.m. The steamship America, of the North German Lloyd line, from Southampton Aug. 25th, arrived here at 3 p.m. to-day. The steamship Columbia, of the Anchor line, ar rived here Sept. 6th. The steamship Carroll, of the Baltimore and Liver pool line, arrived here Sept. 6th. QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 8. The Inman Royal Mail steamer, City of Ant werp, from New York, arrived here at 11.20 a.m. to-day, and having landed the mails and passengers she proceeded immediately for Liverpool. All well. SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 8. The North German Lloyd steamship New York, 'rein New York ; arrived off the Needles at 11.55 a.m. to-day. since it is recognised by all parties that a public servant must not accept gratuities of any kind. We may guess the surprise and satisfaction felt at Melbourne when this simple solution of the long standing difficulty was made known. After so furious a battle, after such tedious delays and such serious interruption of public business, it was not a little singular that the matter should have been settled out of the colony. It was time, and more than time, that the dispute should be ended, since its next consequence would probably have been a dis turbance of public order, and the results to the colony might have been serious. Up to the 6th of July no sign of a solution was visible. The Sladen Ministry was still fighting against hope, forced by the overwhelming majority against then to con- cede point after point to the relentless opposition, until at length the treasurer found himself driven to propose the redoubtable DARLING grant in the manner his adversaries desired,confessing that he did so with some humiliation, having always opposed the vote. In this humiliation he is not alone, for we may question whether any of the parties most concerned have gained much in strength or dignity by the struggle. However, when the vote was carried, as of course it was carried by both sides of the House, the next perplexity was in what form it was to be presented to the Council. The Oppo sition were anxious to make the passing of the special grant the conditio❑ of any general supplies being granted. The excitement out of doors was on the increase, and speculations of every kind were rife. No one could foretel the action of the Council, while it was only too plain that the assembly would make no concession. People began to discuss the possibility of another dissolution, and the general agitation and excitement augmented day by day. The prevailing feeling was in favour of the opposi tion, and what the Americans call " mass" meet ings were held in the suburbs of Melbourne to support their policy. Altogether the political hori zon grew more and more cloudy and threatening, while the confusion and distress occasioned in commercial and social circles by the long standing dead-lock got worse every day. As in the moat agitated sessions our house of Commons never separates without voting the supplies, it is difficult for us to imagine the condition of a busy and populous city, the ca pital of a State, in which public affairs were at a standstill for want of funds. Yet such has been the condition of our good colonists of Melbourne during many months past; and, but for the timely news from home, such might be the condition of the Victorian capital now. The arrival of the steamer Bombay on July Gth brought astound ing news. Sir CHARLES DARLING had for himself and Lady DARLING abandoned all claim to the grant, and that he had been permitted to change his determination to withdraw from the QUEEN'S service, that withdrawal having been founded on a misconception, and that her MAJESTY hal rein stated him in the public service. Here was an end of the whole matter, and after the determination and virulence of the encounter between the two Houses, it was not a little remarkable that after all it should be a drawn battle, in which neither party could claim the victory, and neither need deplore the defeat. It is well for the interests of the colony that was so, for to such a height had party feeling run on the matter that neither side could have achieved a decided victory without much mischief to the con stitutionalsystem of Victoria. If the Council had succeeded in rejecting the grant it would have been by an open disregard of the wishes of the electors. If the Assembly had triumphed it would have been by an arrogant and unconstitutional course of con duct, which was in itself directly opposed to the principles on which representative government is based. The attempt to force the unwelcome vote upon the Upper louse by joining it to the Appro priation Bill could hardly be regarded as other than a direct insult to the Council, especially when we remember the history of Sir CHARLES DAR LI N G'S Governorship. For the Council to persist in rejecting the supplies because of this obnoxious con dition was to save their pride at the expense of the public interests, and the consequence of the affair has been that the wealthy colony of Victoria has been brought into a condition of serious pecuniary embarassment by a question of £20,000 ! It is affirmed, though not yet officially stated, that there is a deficit in the income as com pared with the expenditure, which will require additional taxation or retrenchment. Should this prove to be the case, the Victorians may find that their political melodrama has cost them dear, and may probably interefere with the programme put forward by Mr. M'CuLLooll. We hope all parties will have learned from this disagreeable affair the necessity of a little mutual forbearance and concession in politics as in every other relation of life. Experience must be bought, not borrowed, and the lesson of the DARLING grant will not, we hope, be lost upon Australian states men. Fortune has rescued them very opportunely from the dilemma in which they had placed them selves, but supposing Sir, CHARLES DARLING had not been reinstated, where would the matter have ended? Public affairs are not like child's play, in which each appointed party can consult bis own irritated temper or affronted dignity. Men who would have the pr ide and power of ruling their fellows must learn to bear much as well as to give orders an d sway Senates. Our English Government would not go on a day if the same spirit which has r ailed at Melbourne of late were allowed to prevail at St. Stephen's. Australians must learn this lesi ;on if they would copy our suc cess as well as our institutions. The Fairy Palact Concerts at the Agricultural Hall, commence on NV-idnesday, Sept. 16.—The hall has been most superbly dec orated, and laid out in the form of a beautiful garden, in w.hich every descripton of tropical and exotic plants wifi found growing in the midst of immense parterres and banks of the choicest English flowers. Splendid fountains have been erected, and illuminations will be of the most novel description, pre senting altogether the most chary dog and effective coup d'ceil ever attnipted nx the Salle de Concert. The concerts will be on a grand se.stle, inane .ing many entirely new features. Mr. Goffrie, the lessee , has engaged Mr. Sims Reeves, Madlle. Lietthart, and Si gnor Solt Scalchi; and the orchestra will comprise members of the Royal Italian Opera, her Majesty's Theatre, and the Philharmonic So cieties, including Messrs. Co.rrodus, Doyle, G.

REMARKS. Since last evening the barometrical pressure has increased upwards of two-tenths of an inch in the N. and E., having remained nearly steady at southern stations. Pressures are now high, and the greatest readings are in the N.W. of our islands: the difference between those at Greencastle and L'Orient is nearly four-tenths of an inch. Tem perature is much lower than it was yesterday, especiAlly on our N. and E. coasts :at Aberdeen the diminution has been 19 deg. Fresh north-easterly winds prevailed yesterday in the W. of our islands, where the wind is now fresh from the northward. In the extreme north the wind is light from the westward, but elsewhere is generally moderate from the N.E. Some rain has fallen on our N. and E. coasts, where the weather is now flue. On other coasts the weather is cloudy. A rough sea is reported from Valencia. Earl Russell has become a subscriber to the Leigh Hunt Memorial Fund. Should the necessary amount be forthcoming, the monument will be erected in three or four months from this time. On Monday the King of Prussia commenced his tour of military inspection through the States which form the North German Confederation. Dresden, where his Majesty arrived on Monday evening, is the object of the first visit. A brilliant reception has been prepared for him, and it is thought by the Independancc Beige that the interview between the two sovereigns will be cordial enough to dissipate the sinister rumours so prevalent of late. The Belgian journal says that the reports of the probable abdication of King John by reason of the increasing domination of Prussia are unfounded. Since Sadowa the most satisfactory relations have been established between the two once hostile, but now confederated princes. This is a somewhat remarkable statement for this journal, espe cially as it is notorious that the entrance of Saxony into the new Confederation was in no respect a matter of choice. It is doubtless true, as a correspondent remarks, that the Prussian Government has done all in its power to " render as light as possible the sacrifices which recent events have imposed upon the Saxon monarch." Unfortunately, the sacrifices are so great. The new Bund will prove a great benefit both to Ger many and Europe, but it is too much to maintain that all the kings and kinglings are content to become retainers. The Turkish island of Chios, in the iEgean Sea, famous in classic story, has emerged from a dense obscurity of several centuries. Some difficulties between the Turkish authorities and the Greek residents have developed into riots, the riots have resulted in a conflict, and from the conflict has ensued an insurrection. The Greeks who inhabited the island determined to celebrate by a splendid fits the birth of an heir to that most undesirable inherit nice, the Greek throne. To this end the houses had be - en covered with garlands and crowns, Greek flags and streamers were displayed in profusion, portraits of King George were exhibited in several parts of the city, and the merchant ships assisted the celebration by salutes of cannon. The Turkish Governor not unnaturally thought this rather too much ostentation on behalf of a sovereign who is by no means on friendly terms with the Porte. He therefore ordered the flags, garlands, and other " properties" to be confiscated. But the Greeks resisted this proceeding, and speedily repulsed the confiscating force. The Governor then endeavoured to overcome the revolution in person, aided by all the troops the garrison of Chios could number. The troops, however, were beaten, and the Governor had some difficulty lu getting away safely from the field of battle. A telegraphic mes sage was then sent to the Dardanelles, and on the seeeni day after the revolt Ahmed Pasha arrived with a rein forcement Arid two vessels of war, Doubtless much against the will of the (*reeks, the Island was pronounced in a state of siege, and insormotion declared rampant The issue Pf_thia "VOVAUUtAi 4 hiOI Q t n% Anommina.

This morning Alexander Mackay suffered the extreme penalty of the law within the walls of Newgate for the murder of his mistress, Mrs. Grossmith. The details of the crime will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, and it will suffice to say that the accused, in a fit of passion, murdered his mistress by repeatedly striking her with a rolling-pin, and for a long time eluded the vigilance of the police. The old saying that " murder will out" was exemplified in his case, for whilst under going a term of imprisonment for some trivial offence he was identified as the man "wanted" for the murder of Mrs. Grossmith. A writ of Habeas Corpus was obtained, and the prisoner was tried at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to death, the jury, however, appending a recommendation of mercy to their verdict. To that suggestion the presiding judge (Mr. Justice Lush), owing to the atrocious circumstances attending the commission of the murder, could not give his acquiescence, and as a consequEnce, notwithstanding various petitions, the Home Secretary refused to exercise his prerogative, and the fate of Mackay was decided. Since 4is conviction the culprit has been most assiduously attended by the chaplain, and to the ministrations of that official he has paid the most anxious and marked attention. He exhibited the greatest contrition for his crime, and died in the belief that his offences would be pardoned. As this was the first private execution within Newgate, more than ordinary interest was manifested in the proceedings. The preparations for the carrying out of the sentence were not entirely completed until Saturday, when the scaffold was erected within one of the yards adjoining the chapel. The dread machine was the one formerly used when public executions were the law of the land, and the drop—about eighteen inches—was the same as that on which many a poor wretch has expiated his crime. The scaffold itself was raised several feet from the ground, and the only means of ascent was by a ladder. The front of the whole structure was covered with black cloth, so that after the drop fell only the head, neck, and shoulders of the culprit were visible. At half-past eight about half a dozen members of the press, who by the courtesy of the under sheriffs were allowed to witness the execution, were admitted within the courtyard where the scaffold was erected, and on entering one could not fail to observe the religious silence which pervaded the whole place, and which formed a striking contrast to the ribald jests and the fanatic rantings which used formerly to be an almost necessary concomitant of an execution. About a quarter to nine Mr. Sheriff M'Arthur, attended by UndersheriffsDavidson and Stone, Mr. Jonas (the governor), and other officials, arrived, and shortly afterwards the tolling of St. Sepulchre's bell informed the passer-by that something more than ordinary was about to take place. As the clock struck nine, amid the deepest silence the mournful procession wended its way up to the stairs leading to the scaffold, which Mackay ascended with a firm, though not defiant step. He looked exceedingly pale, but as far as could be seen never moved a muscle. On arriving at the drop he submitted himself to the hands of Calcraft with evident composure, and after the white cap was drawn over his pallid countenance the words " Lord have mercy on me" were fully audible. After shaking hands with the executioner the bolt was withdrawn, and after struggling for about a minute and a half .Mackay was dead. The chaplain stated that a more penitent man he had never seen, and he felt sure that true con trition was felt by Mackay for his misdeeds. After hanging the prescribed time the body was cut down and examined by the doctors, who, of course, pronounced life extinct. Subsequently an inquest was held in con formity with the Act. From eight to half-past nine o'clock there was a crowd of about a hundred persons, principally consisting of boys, assembled outside the prison, but beyond seeing the black flag hoisted as the drop fell, their morbid curiosity could not have been in the least gratified. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 7. Facts and rumours connected with the approach - ing elections, annourcaments of new candidates, and speculations on the prospects of those already in the field, are all the news contained in the Irish journals. A third candidate appears for the honour of representing Youghal, in the person of Mr. Richard John Frederick Crowther, who dates his address from St. Joseph's Retreat, Highgate. His professions are very general. He states that his political opinions are those of a Liberal who has the popular cause at heart; that he will ever be found a staunch supporter of civil and religious liberty, and that he will endeavour to promote the interests of his constituents without reference to creed or poli tics. In Kinsale there is some talk - of a "dark horse" being held in reserve to contest the electoral plate. The candidate so mysteriously indicated is said to be a London gentleman. Another report is that Sir Augustus Warren has, after considerable hesitation, made up his mind to contest the borough on Liberal principles. He visited the town a few days ago fo r the secon d time within the last three weeks, and , thou g h h e did not make a formal canvass, he is said to ha ve been feeling his way among the electo rs, and t o have received of t s o uch try as h su is ran eh ce a s heea tsupportthe as to encourage him hustings. Mr. Dela hunty has issued his address to the electors of the city of Waterford. He promises to support "the measures justly demanded by the Irish people in reference to the Church, land, and education s a c combination of all questions." He believes that Ireland's pro with sperity iEshgrelatahrdd,edandbyremmheeernothaving equallaws recommends classes, "on the common ground of self-interest and existence," to bring about the desired legisla lative alteration. Should he be returned, and sue. be one of the c ol e h e s d t idnisetffinegctuiinsghedhis jts e e s c o , n h t i h s e w h il o i honourable roll names of the British Legislature, for he promises " never to rest satisfied until Ireland's manufac turing, commercial, and financial interests are equally thriving and prosperous to those of the countries around." Mr. Delahunty's canvass is said to have been very successful. Mr. Blake has not yet issued his address, and Sir H. W. Barron's exertions are conducted with so much privacy that no estimate of his chances can be formed. Lieut.- Colonel Dickson, who has only just returned from abroad, has addressed a letter to the Limerick con stituency, stating that he hesitated to run the chance of a contested election, but that he had received such assurances of support from influential quarters that he feels justified in again seeking their suf frages. His address is promised in a few days. The report that the Hon. Chas. White intended to withdraw from the representation of Tipperary is contradicted by a local paper, which asserts that there is nothing in the state of his health to warrant such a report, and that he will commence his canvass on his return from Hornburgh, where he is at present. Mr. Dowse addressed a meeting of 5,000 persons on Friday evening in Derry, and was very favour ably received. A great part of his speech was de voted to an unsparing attack on the present Minis try, for what he is pleased to call their reckless waste of the national funds, which, if returned, he is determined to oppose, and to effect the utmost Possible retrenchment. He declared himself empha tically in favour of Mr. Gladstone's resolution for the disestablishment of the Irish Church, as the only means of securing religious equality. He is also in favour of legalising compensation to tenants for improvements in land. ho Tim HEAT IN BERKSIHRE.—A correspondent writes from near Wokingham, "The thermometer here at 1 45 yesterday was 88, which is ono degree higher than the hottest day this year. My thermometers are ex cellent, and properly hung in the shade, away from radia tion currents. I do not remember a hotter day in England." RETURN of HEAT.—The weather on SUllilay was nearly as hot as that of July and the early days of August. Yesterday morning the temperatures, as reported by the Meteorological Department, was represented by the old familiar figures. In London at 8 o'clock, a dense fog prevailing at the time, the thermometer stood at 67 ; at Portsmouth it was 70, and at Cape Grisnez 75, a point which has been equalled but not exceeded on the Channel coasts or in the interior of England during the summer.— ' Pall Mall Gazette. PETROLEUM. We have shewn again and again that petroleum is utterly inexplosive, that it does not contain the essential ingredients of an explosive substance, that it is simply inflammable like turpentine, ruin, gin, brandy, and whisky, and a host of other hydro-carbons, and like these it gives off a vapour at certain temperatures, which vapour, if mixed with air, does form an explosive com pound, but which, in the absence of oxygen, is not even inflammable. This superstition about its explosive ness renders it really dangerous by causing people to drop a vessel in which it may be accidentally lighted. It would do no mischief if burning only in an ordinary vessel, as it can only fire at its surface, and the quality of flame is, cceteris paribus, exactly proportionate to the amount of surface exposed. Burning from the mouth of a can or a lamp reservoir it can easily be extinguished ; but when spilled on the floor or about the dress of the person whose foolish fears have caused it to be spilled, it becomes a raging and inextinguishable fire of most dangerous character. Turpen tine is dangerous in precisely the same manner, and more so than petroleum, as the turpentine vapour ignites at a lower temperature. Had the trucks into which the mail train ran been loaded with turpentine, the effects would have been precisely similar ; had they even borne a cargo of Irish whisky, the fiery furnace crushing among the barrels would have ignited their vapour, and the flame from this would have set fire to all that was splashed over the carriages and on the ground, with a result just as fatal as the burning of the petroleum. The only difference in the case of the whisky would have been the absence of the black pall of smoke and the red flames ; their place would have been taken by a smoke less flame as hot and furious and destructive to human life as the dreaded fire of the petroleum. When people have become as familiar with the properties and uses of hydro-carbon oils as they are with the properties and uses of other fluids easy of ignition at certain temperatures, they will wonder at some of the remarks which have passed current during the past fortnight. One paper of good authority " seems to doubt the theory of explosion of the oil without ignition from flame." We have never had any doubt upon the matter. The day after the accident occurred the tele grams announced that the oil had exploded. We ironically expressed a wish to know " under what peculiar condi tions this usually non-explosive substance exploded." Any one with the smallest knowledge of the substance must know that it cannot explode.—Oil Trade Review. LAW AND POLICE. THE NEW MASTER AND SERVANT ACT.—At Highgate Police-court, a labourer named Read has been summoned for refusing to do the work requested by his employers, Messrs. Denison, coal merchants, Finchley. He had been twelve months in their employ as a carman and general weekly servant. He was requested to assist in making a tank, which he refused to do, went into a public-house, and on his return into the yard behaved in a most impu dent manner, and was ordered out of the place. The defendant said he had no right to do the work he was ordered. The magistrate fined him ls. and Gs. costs out of the wages due, and annulled the contract of service. A SOLICITOR CHARGED WITH FORGERY. —At the Mansion House, Mr. F. A. Farrar, a solicitor, was charged with forgery. The offence with which he was charged, whilst being a serious, was a very extraordinary one, as the accusation was that the accused had uttered a bill for £BOO, purporting to be accepted by Lord Dudley. He obtained money for the bill by representing that an agreement had been entered into between his lordship and one John Hullett, by which the latter was to receive £BOO on the completion of an opera to he called " Kong Tolo." The prisoner was remanded, and bail refused. The Medical College for Women, established by the Female Medical Society for teaching the theory and practice of midwifery and the accessory branches of mecli eine, will commence its fifth annual session on October 1, 1868, at 4, Fitzroy-square, London.

FEARFUL DEATH OF AN ENGINEMAN.--A fatal accident has befallen Joseph Clark, an engineman in the employment of Messrs. Pow and Fawcus, at their factory, Hudson-street, North Shields. Clark had set the engine on, when by some accident he got entangled in the machinery. His cries attracted the attention of the other workmen, and the engine was stopped ; but he was so fast jammed in amongst the machinery that it was fully half an hour before he could be got out. The unfortunate man was dreadfully crushed over the chest, and only lived a short time after he was rescued. BEE STUNG BY A WASP.— A few clays ago, whilst a - choir of some note was performing at the opening out of a Wesleyan chapel in Weardale, a somewhat singular incident occurred. One of the performers, a Mr. Bee, was just on the point of executing a difficult passage on the cornet, when a hornet stung him on the neck. The wasp thus stinging the Bee made Bee sharp, a harsh discord to the tune, which was of a natural key. In the confusion the performer lost a number of notes without losing his note book ; and though he never stirred from his post, he jumped over a number of bars, and was only brought up to a full stop at a double bar At the end of "Liver pool," uor did he lose any time,---,Aroracra Dam keßralk Trott -4-r-tirtia-Tl4.

The Catholic clergy of the diocese of Meath have put forward a " declaration" on the subject of dis establishing and di-endowing the Irish Church. This declaration has been made as a reply to the oft-repeated statement that the Catholic clergy of Ireland generally, and of Meath in particular, are apathetic on the subject of disestablishment. The declaration now published is accompanied by a letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Nulty, Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath, to Sir John Gray, M.P., in which the writer says :—" The reason why the clergy of this diocese should put forward just now the fol lowing resolutions seems scarcely to require a word of explanation. For some years past they have been represented to the public as supporting Conserva tive principles, even to the extent of rejecting the policy of the disestablishment and disendowment of the State Church in Ireland. In the first great de bate on the Established Church their opinions on that most important question were misrepresented in both Houses of the Legislature. The misrepre sentation was frequently repeated, and confidently persisted in during the debate, and some hon. mem bers who enjoy the confidence of the Government seem to attach the greatest importance to the sup port accorded by them to the falling fortunes of the Establishment. The Bishop of Shrewsbury's letter, &c., and the printed address which I enclose for your perusal, prove that they continue to be misre presented still. The calumny which was allowed to circulate unquestioned and uncontradicted dur ing the debate is now extensively reproduced in the addresses of English Conservative candidates; and constituencies like those of the borough of Cardiff, &c., are assured that the Irish people regard the Establishment not as a grievance, but as a bless ing, and the paragraph quoted in the following resolutions is triumphantly appealed to as unan swerable evidence of the truth of this mis-state ment. The clergy, therefore, of this diocese, seeing that the scandal had become as mischievous as it had been disparaging, felt themselves bound to grapple with it at once, and they hope they have extinguished it for ever by publishing the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted on Saturday last at a Conference at Nava", at which no less than 115 clergymen of the diocese were present, including the two Vicars-General• Indeed, every clergyman in the diocese was pre sent except those who were absent from old age or sickness, and those who were specially directed by the vicars to discharge the necessary duties of the different parishes. I feel confident that all those absent clergymen fully agree iu the resolutions adopted by their brethren at this meeting." The following are the resolutions adverted to :—" At a meeting of the clergy of the entire diocese of Meath, held at Navan on the 29th day of August, 1868, the Most Rev. Dr. Nulty in the chair, the following resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted by the meeting :"—" Resolved-1. 'That we regard the Established Church as one of the most unjust and oppressive grievances of our country, and, therefore, that we cordially approve, and will earnestly and vigorously co-operate in, every effor t for its disendowment and disestablishment." " Re" solved-2. That the statesmen, therefore, who hi either House of Legislature, or through the public press, have represented us as opposed to the policy of its disestablishment or disendowment, hav e totally misapprehended our views and entirely Wig represented our real opinions on this sub ject." " Resolved-3. That the only cau se that could have led to this misappre hension was the following paragraph ill a n address that emanated from a portion of the clergy of this diocese some years ago :—‘ Other agitations/ such as that against the Established Church, are got up for party purposes, would infuse an element of bigotry into the already sufficiently disturbed relations between landlord and tenant, would effect the ruin of thousands of tenants, and precipitate that social catastrophe which we are anxious t° avert.' " Resolved-4. That these words do ne t apply to the agitation now on foot against di e Established Church, as they were spoken befor e this agitation came into existence ; that as the tenant question was regarded then, as it is ne' sv ! essential to the very existence of our people, so thes° words, in the context in which they stand, merely conveyed that the land question had the first claim on the attention of the Legislature—that it was en titled to priority over all other questions for an mediate solution and settlement ; and, lastly, oat i , these words, understood in any other meaning the above, did not then, as they do not now, correetiY,, express the real opinions of the clergy of this diocese' the The most remarkable passage in the lecture re cently delivered at Limerick by Mr. Butt was ‘,..0 following, on . the subject of evictions for n117,_ gain On thi s su bj ec t h e sa id h e did not buto to the entire landlord class the wrongstieros flitted by a few of them.
