In the House of Lords yesterday the Duke of MONTROSE moved the second reading of the Electric Telegraphs Bill, and showed various reasons in favour of it, among which he stated that abroad it was always the practice to have the telegraphs put in the hands of the State, and the consequence was that in those countries the communication was much cheaper. After the second reading had been got through, the report of amendments to the Public Schools Bill came on for consideration, and Lord LYTfELTON proposed an amendment, which was negatived ; it was to the effect that the governing bodies should be more exclud&l than they are from interfering with the masters of boarding-houses, but the Lord Chancellor explained that it would not be a dezirable thing to agree to. Another amendment by Lord LYTTELTON was rejected, which was that certain powers should be given to the head-master. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH showed that these changes were not at all desirable ; and Lord HOUGHTON, with some force, added that if all these schemes were adopted it would be better to abolish altogether the governing body, for they would be reduced to a cipher if all these powers were given to the head-master. The Lord Chan cellor put the case very clearly before the House, by saying that it would be highly inexpedient and injudicious to put the head-master, who was na turally the servant of the governing body, over it. On the whole, it was quite as well that the amend ment was rejected, and so it will appear upon con sideration. The Registration (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, and although the House did not sit long a good deal was accomplished, and several bills advanced a stage, which is most desirable at this stage of the public business. The long and hardly-contested battle of the Foreign Cattle Market Bill has at length come to a conclusion, but the result will not be very satisfac tory to the majority of the House, or of the public. The butchers and their advocates are the only parties who have reason to be gratified by the with drawal of the measure, and their customers, during the recess, will have no alternative but to pay prices which they choose to charge. It is certainly dis appointing that so much time and trouble should have been spent over a fruitless measure, and the tactics by which it has been defeated do more credit to the ingenuity of its opponents than to their love of fair play or public spirit. The sense of the House was indisputably in favour of the bill, and on every division large majorities supported it, yet a small though pertinacious holy of opponents have been able, through a series of clever manoeuvres, to de feat the House and the Government. The forms of the House have been made to serve the purpose of frustrating instead of forwarding business, and the count-out on Thursday helped to get over an evening, though as soon as the doors ware opened the floor of the House was crowded by members anxious to push on the Cattle Bill. Lest night the same sort of policy was pursued, and Mr. AYRToN, Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and a few others maintained their parts, undaunted by the severe stric tures which were passed upon them. Mr. AYRTON moved that the Chairman should report progress, though in a house of 137 only 32 voted with him, and he industriously went over the same ground, over and over again, till his arguments must have grown as tedious to himself as to his hearers. At half-past two in the morning, after half the night had bees spent in disputing inch by inch Clause 25, Mr. AYRTON rose again to move for reporting progress, and this time with success. Mr. DISRAELI admitted he was just about to rise for the same purpose, and very soon after the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the Government had given up the task in despair until another session. Early in the evening matters had come to a more exciting pass, and the plain speaking on both bides called for the interference of the Speaker. Mr. MILNER GIBSON was seized with a sudden anxiety to preserve the privileges of inde pendent members. Mr. JACOB BRIcalT was seized with a sudden sense of the impropriety of expecting THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 18684 the 7 louse to sit on Saturday Of course, both these convictions affected the progress of the c a ttat Bill, and Mr. HARDY was provoked into some sharp retorts. But, as usual, the opponents of the till had the best of it. No one could prove that Mr. MILNER GIBSON was not really concerned about the rights of private members. There was no ocular evidence to demonstrate that Mr. JACOB BRIGHT had not an ineradicable objection to sitting on Saturdays, and accordingly virtuous indignation was the order of the day, and the only persons really to "blame were the county members, who had allowed Mr. ATRTON to outwit them on Thursday. There lwas one noticeable point in the affair, and that was that Mr. MILNER GIBSON was so much better informed of the intentions of the Corpora tion ! - .ban the Ministers themselves. Up till a late hour t he Government were uncertain on this point, but Mr.. MILKER. GIBSON knew his ground, and the contemptuous manner in which he asked what was to be done with the Cattle Protectiouht Bill showed ih.tt he was confident of a speedy triumph. It is part of what Major PARKER designated as the " dubious" course of the adversaries to the measure that they have tried to introduce the question of free trade, with which the Cattle Bill has really nothing whatever to do. We have a Protectionist system in force now, not against free competition, but against the encroachments of an insidious disease, which is every one's enemy but the butcher's. The Metropolitan Foreign Cattle `Market Bill is intended to lighten the restrictions now in existence, ant actually therefore to relieve the trade from pressing burdens. In answer to an inquiry last night, Lord R. MONTAGU said that the cattle-plague was in existence in Livonia, in the districts round St. Peters burgh, and also in Lower Egypt. If the cattle disease is the bugbear which the Opposition pretend, why are not their clients, the butchers, a little more moderate in their charges? If it is a real and pressing evil, why should not some means be taken to restrict it without unnecessarily ham pering our own trade ? The matter is unfortu nately settled for this session at least, but we can not think the manner in which it has been disposed of is very creditable to the Corporation, the butchers, or the members of Parliament who have so strenuously fought their cause. Mr. BRIGHT was present last evening at a dinner at Birmingham, given to the members for the borough. It was not a party affair, and Mr. AVERY, the Mayor, disclaimed the notion of such a thing at the outset. He said he was surrounded by gentlemen of every shade of party colour, from " brilliant orange to invisible blue." As a Con servative, he spoke in very high terms of Mr. BRIGHT, as a public man and a brilliant orator, " a veritable hammer iu controversy, who, if sometimes exalted by high passion, had never been known to pervert his gloriuus gifts to any ignoble or un worthy purpose." Mr. BRIGHT said he found him self in a difficulty, and, indeed, so awkward was it to make a long speech without the introduction of politics, that it was tempting to take up a book he had seen at a station in which it was professed to give speeches for every imaginable occa sion. There is some truth in the remark of the hon. member that politics need not always be treated as they are, because ques tions are not admitted into social gatherings which in themselves are not belonging to party if they must come under the consideration of Parliament. For instance, take that of Education, which has been retarded because of the difficulties introduced into it, but now it may be discussed apart from such hindrances. Referring to the more moderate opiuious that now prevail, Mr. BRIGHT alluded to the pressure which witnessed the first agitation about the Corn-laws the strongest *opinions were then circulated, but people now look upon such ex travagant exhibitions with amusement merely. Parliamentary ILforin is another topic on which a general and gradual change has taken place, and the hon. member for Birmingham took some credit to himself from the fact that his views had been advocated by those who were opposed to them. It is true that he overlooked the fact that he had not been a very wise prophet with respect to the course they might adopt, but it is certainly true that a good deal has come to pass which a few years ago was not dreamed of by many well versed in public matters, and this is surely a proof that it is unwise to be so extreme upon any point which does not in volve a principle of right or wrong. Mr. BRIGHT has heard from the leading men of the party to whom he had been most opposed that there must now be a change in the distribution of seats, and also that he found among these gentlemen it man y just and fair-minded men, who believed that, looking at elections, particularly with regard to the great boroughs with very large constituencies, it would be required, merely as a matter of election machinery, to introduce in some form the vote by ballot." The result of all these reminiscences was that Mr. BRIGHT, without intruding opinions of his own, sought to draw a lesson which might be of use to political parties in the country. This was that questions may constantly arise that affect the i ntere sts of the United Kingdom, and op dis cuss them with heat and party feeling, yet in the end they must be settled to the satisfaction of all the community on a fair basis. In his new character of Apolitical philosopher Mr. BRIGHT appears to alvantage, and may take his own advice to others to heart himself. He concluded his speech by some allusions to America, and declared that he should be sorry to see some of our institutions Americanized for many reasons. Oa the whole this was a very temperate discourse, and contrasts most favourably with some of his speeches in other places. The true interests of the country are much more likely to be served if people are temperate in their individual acts, for in the excitement of con troversy and the discussion of prejudices very little time or opportunity is given to the consideration of other subjecte. The Americans are generally in extremes, and their climate seems to share their character. We have been grumbling at the heat in London during the last fortnight, but in New York they have more cause to complain. We do not know the exact degree of heat, and, indeed, judging by recent scientific controversy, we should not perhaps be able to appreciate it with accuracy if we were told the degree of Fahrenheit, but if we are to estimate it by the results, we must believe the temperature of New York to have been something much worse than anything that London has had to complain of. Forty deaths from sunstroke occurred at New York on Tuesday week, the 14th, a return sufficiently startling for one day. The situation of the city of course accounts, in a measure, for exces sive heat ; but it is evident that either the people have been unusually careless in exposing them selves, or the temperature has been something ex ceptional. Intense heat, we are told, has prevailed throughout the country, so that it will be desirable to exercise a little more caution in prosecuting the great work of electioneering. We have very little political news, though what little we have augurs well. Congress has passed an amended bill discontinuing the Freedmen's Bureau after the let of nest January, a motion that no one will regret excepting those who have profited un duly by its agency. General BUCHANAN has issued a proclamation announcing that military rule has ceased in Louisiana, a sign we may hope for that restoration of the supremacy of civil over military authority for which all true friends of American liberty are anxiously looking. LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) HUNGARY. PESTH, July 24. In to-day's sitting the Lower House expressed its decided disapproval of the monster petitions in favour of the re-establishment of the laws of 1848, and the repeal of the compromise of 18G7 between Hungary and Austria, that have come in from seve ral parts of the country, owing to the incessant exertions of the political agitator Madarasz. De mands have been received from various quarters that the latter should be prosecuted for having forged names as signatures to the petitions. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 23.

(Via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, July 14, noon. President Johnson has issued a proclamation announcing the ratification of the constitutional amendment by North Carolina. lie regards the ratification by the Florida Legislature as inopera tive, on account of it having taken place prior to the passage of the bill admitting that State to the union. Two members for North Carolina have been ad mitted to seats in the House of Representatives. The House has passed a bill providing that only such lately rebellious States as have been admitted to the Union under the Reconstruction Act shall be entitled to participation in the Presidential election. The bill taking the interest of the bonds recently reported in the House has been referred to a committee of the whole, which prevents action being taken upon it this session. The Senate has passed the bill discontinuing the Freedmen's Bureau, excepting its educational de partment, from the Ist of next January. Governor Swain, of Maryland, has appointed Mr. William Pinckney, a white and Democrat, to succeed Mr. Reverdy Johnson in the Senate. Intelligence from Hayti announces that Salnave has been defeated by the Cacos at Port Royal. The British Admiral in the Pacific, has disap proved the blockade of Mazatlan, and has ordered it to be raised, and Captain Budge, of the Chanti cleer, to report himself at Panama. , %,,,ith. l l.2ZkoiWzl4oE FROM PARIS. (nom our, oyaz CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, July 24. It is said that the Emperor, at the conclusion of his stay at Plombieres, will visit Metz, Thionville, and Nancy. The two first-named are important French fortresses. As to the third, there is some talk of the establishment of an entrenched camp in the neighbourhood. All three towns are within easy distance ; but the Emperor must be strangely constituted if he readily quits the charming sojourn in the Vosges Mountains for the contempla tion of bastions and fortified camps. Plombibres seems to have special attractions for the Emperor Napoleon ; at any rate he has visited it four times in twelve years, which is a tolerably fair amount of patronage for the little place. The salubrious air of the Vosges Mountains, the calm of the district, the premeditated absence of all etiquette, embroidered functionaries, and, above all, port folio ministers, have quite as much influence over the illustrious visitor as the insignificant waters of the neigh bourhood, and the six regenerating substances which they contain. On his arrival this time the Emperor is said to have remarked that he had come to rest himself from the pleasures of Fontainebleau. The amnesty offered to the Hanoverian refugees in France by the King of Prussia has been declined by one and all. The refugees did not recognise in the King of Prussia any right to issue amnesties to them. They con tinue to profess unalterable fidelity to their legitimate sovereign. Unfortunately, their sovereign has not set them the example. In resigning his crown to save his property, King George, I think, set his subjects free, and the refugees would have done well in accepting the offered terms. If necessity compel them to enter North Germany again their case will be hard. Kings do not like their favours, even if worthless, refused. The question of a Customs Union between France, Bel gium, and Holland has assumed a new phase. It has now degenerated into a scheme of alliance. Many people here believe that the French Government has made overtures to both countries. Some, as usual, have been ingenious enough to discover the exact terms of the proposal. The Cabinets of Brussels and of the Hague were informed that the moment had arrived when the question of alliance must be seriously considered, and that the small Powers could not henceforth hold aloof from European conflicts any more than the great ones. But though the two Governments were entreated not to neglect the study of these great problems, they do not appear to have paid them any attention. In fact, all the speculators agree that the answer of Belgium and Holland was such as to offer no encouragement to the Paris Cabinet to return to the charge. Ihe unhappy war-seeking country is therefore at her wits' end. She is clearly driven to take her choice between Panslavism and ;he Porte. Thither the inventors of political combina• ;ions will next turn their attention. The despatch which Count Usedom, the Prussian Minister at Florence, sent to the President of the Italian Council is of great historic interest. It is certainly the work of a diplomatist who knows what he wants, but who does not, perhaps, estimate difficulties at their proper value. It not only affords ,us much insight behind the scenes of the tragical drama of 1866, but is a curious proof of the extraordinary schemes which chance sometimes modifies into reason and ensures success. The document announces the intention of Prus3ia to follow out the campaign without mercy or truce, and to drive the enemy to his last defences and resources. Vienna was the ultimate object of attack. Italy is counselled to mask by force of observation both Venice and the Quadrilateral, to march straight to the Danube, and there join the Prussian forces. Besieging the strong places of the Quadrilateral would merely afford Austria time to retire her forces from Venice to assist the Army of the North. In this case, by the assistance of Bavaria, the Austrian forces might hold the Prussians in check. " The march upon Vienna is dangerous, it is true, but the peril diminishes in proport:on to the rapidite of the movement." Besides, insurrection might by counted upon. Most people will imagine that by fighting the battle of Custozza, and by making a real demonstration before the Quadrilateral, the Italian army did much more service than by exposing its own country to the invader, and risking ruin in its passage, without communications, through a hostile country. To me the scheme appears to be one of the worst conceptions possible. The danger would be all to Italy, and the advantage, if any, all on the side of Prussia, whilst the prospect of the Archduke Albert being deceived by such a manceuvre would have been remote indeed. In financial matters there is little to report. The fund at the Bank of France is ever on the increase, and ;he inactivity of commerce is again indicated by a rise in the reserve this week of £600,000.

THE CAMP, FRIDAY. This is almost an " off " day in camp. All the im portant events of the programme of the Wimbledon meet ing of 1868 have been decided, and it only remains for the pleasant ceremony of the distribution of prizes by Lord Napier, and the grand review by the Duke of Cambridge to-morrow, to bring this great volunteer gathering to a successful end. There is some shooting to-day, but it is of very minor importance, and attracts little attention. Not a bad joke has been perpetrated by the Vietoria.s (the originators of the Earwig magazine) who have circu lated the following notice: "New prize. For policemen only (specials inadmissible). Three shots at the running dog. For muzzle-loaders. Any position. Bull's-eyes not allowed. By order of the Council.—Earwig." It is confidently expected that the Prince of Wales will he down here to-morrow, and that the Civil Service volunteers in camp will be accorded the honour of furnishing a guard of honour 100 strong to his Royal Highness. This corps gave a capital concert in their mess-tent last night. Shooting in the second stage of the Duke of Cambridge's Prize—a cup, value £5O, or the amount in specie—was commenced at a quarter past nine, the competition being restricted to the winners of prizes in the first stage ; distance, SOO yards, The Peek Prize, value £52 10s., presented by Mr. Henry Peek, of Wimbledon House, the shooting being confined to winners of " Enfield Rifle " Prizes during the present meeting. The Dudley Prize £5O Cup, or money, open to winners of "Any Rifle" Prizes during the meeting, and " Any Rifle " Association Cup, were also in competition. The Ladies' Prizes, total aggregate value £5O, the Consolation Prizes, aggregate value of £5O, restricted to 200 of those volun teers who, having competed, have not won a prize, and the Earwig Prize of £2O, presented by the Victoria Rifles in camp, were shot for during the day. At the conclusion of the shooting for the Duke of Cambridge's Prize, Private Farquharson (Perth) was decided the winner, he making with a Henry rifle 22 points out of a possible register of 28. FRANCE. PARIS, July 25. The illoniteur of to-day, in its bulletin, says : It appears that new attempts have been made to excite disturbances in the Turkish province of Bul garia. Armed bands had crossed the Danube at points between the Dobrudscha and Widdin. Several engagements had taken place on the 21st near Ruatchuk. The Porte has given orders to Ilithad Pasha to march down with several battalions to the Danube, in order to restore tranquillity in the disturbed districts.

BOW-STREET-THIS D.Y. Edward Seminar, a Dane, described as an able bodied seaman, was brought up before Sir Thomas Henry, in custody of Beck, one of the summoning officers of the Court, on an extradition warrant, issued at the instance of the Danish Government, on the charge of having committed the crime of murder at Shanghai. Mr. J. L. R. de Koeford, secretary to the Danish Legation, attended to watch the case on behalf of the Danish authorities. Mr. Koeford put in the various documents in the case, including the depositions before the Danish Consular Court at Shanghai, on which a verdict of murder was found against the prisoner. The officer Brett stated that on the 23d instant, at about nine o'clock, he want on board her Ma jesty's ship Tamar at Plymouth, where he saw the prisoner. He showed the prisoner the warrant issued by Sir Thomas Henry, and read it to him. He then asked the prisoner if his name was Edward Somm tr. He said it was. Witness asked if he was the man who had been convicted at Shanghai ? He replied that it was. Witness then took him into custody. The captain said that the prisoner's conduct on board had been very good, and that he had always shown himself ready to persuade the other prisoners to behave themselves. Sir Thomas Henry asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why he should not be sent to Den mark to be sentenced by the Criminal Court at Co penhagen. It appeared that, according to the Danish law, the Court at Shanghai had no power to pass sentence. The Prisoner—Then I am going home now ? Why have I been kept so long ? It is nearly 16 months since my trial. Beck explained that there bad been no Danish man-of-war sailing from Shanghai since the con viction. After some deity he was sent away in an English man-of-war, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, and it was now proposed to send him to Copenhagen. Sir Thomas Henry said the proceedings at the trial at Shanghai were all before him. The charge against him was that he had stabbed an English sailor, who unfortunately died from the wound. the jury convicted him, but found that there was extenuating circumstances, the prisoner hav ing found the English sailor in bed with a woman, whom he had known. Although the deceased was an Englishman, the prisoner, being a foreigner, could not be tried in England for an offence committed abroad. vv The prisoner said he had no objection to be sent to Copenhagen, but he denied stabbing the man. He was convicted on the evidence of a Chinaman, who would s wear anybody's life away. The prisoner was committed to prison to await the order of the Secretary of State for his surrender to the Danish officers.

Since last evening a slight diminution has taken place in atmospherical pressure over the British Islands, whilst in the south of France readings are somewhat higher. The least pressure is on the west coast of Franco : at Itochefort the reading is half an inch below that on our north-east coast. Tcmperature has slightly increased at most stations In our islands. The wind yesterday was strong from the east on our Channel coast, and this morning it continues to blow with a force Bat Weymouth. In Scotland very light variable winds aro yrevalent. The weather is generally fine. The wife of the ill-fated Maximilian has relapsed into deplorable condition. Up to the last month or two she seemed in a fair way of recovering her wonted serenity, an I the re-establishment of her health was considered not hopeless. But on the approach of the anni versary of Queretaro, symptoms of agitation were observed, and a fresh attack of delirium followed. The Empress is now a prey to the most extraordinary excitement, aggravated by the excessive heat and the want cf sleep to which I)er Majesty is subject. As at Miramar, she has an invincible aversion to every description of food, although she herself orders every morning what she would like to have at her meals. She refuses to sit at the table, and will not taste anything unless it is offered to her by Queen Marie-Henrietta, her sister-in-law, who takes a seat by her side and feeds her like a child. At bedtime it often happens that the Queen is obliged to use her personal influence to prevail upon the Empress to retire to rest. In spite of her mental disorder the is able to appreciate the tender solicitude shown towards her by the King and Queen of the Belgians. In physical health the Empress continues well. Best and care to avoid all cause of emotion are considered by the medical advisers to be the only just mode of treatment. A telegraphic message denies the statement that the Duke of Montpensier had renounced the titles and dignities which he held as a prince of Spain. This, be it remembered, is a telegram, and the wires of the Peninsula carry nothing but peace, tranquillity, and general satisfaction. The Government of Madrid is equally desirous to persuade the nation that it has proofs of intrigues carried on between the Duke and the Duchess and General Prim. The country, however, will not, according to all accounts, believe this statement ; and though it is dignified on the part of the Queen to calumniate her sister and brother-in-law, it appears that it would be altogether undignified to produce the proofs of their guilt. The ilueition of the harsh treatment shown towards the Duchess on her departure is somewhat unsettled. The Spaniards, who appear greatly excited by the whole pro. cedure, decide against the Queen in this respect also. The Liberte is answerable for a curious statement. It says, that to prove the confidence with which the Spanish Government regarded the army, a number of improved rifles (we are not informed whether they were breech• loaders or not) has been recently distributed amongst the troops. Only, as a measure of prudence, an important item of the mechanism of each rifle was removed, so that the soldiers found themselves in possession of an absolutely useless firearm. If we are to believe the Liberte, the Ministry has so little faith in the army, that it disarms the troops by way of protection. If it thus protects itself against the army, how shall it protect itself against the yelie ACCIDENTS BY DROWNING.• On Friday afternoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner of Surrey, held an inquest at the Ship Tavern, Tottenham, respecting the death by drowning of Mr. Frederick Cornelius, aged 20 years. The deceased was the son of Dr. Cornelius, residing at 21, St. George's-villas, Canon bury, and was a student in dentistry. He laboured under the affliction of being deaf and dumb. On Wednesday he complained of being somewhat unwell, and in the afternoon he went out for a walk. At half past four o'clock some persons noticed a gentleman's clothes, gold watch, &c., on the banks of the river Lea, and they called to a bargeman named Edward Smith that no doubt some one was under the water. Smith looked down and saw the deceased extended at the bottom of the river, lying on his right side. The body was got out forthwith, and the hands and feet were found to be slightly cramped or contracted. Death had taken place an hour before. It was supposed that the deceased, finding himself on the banks of the river, was induced by the heat to try and refresh himself by bathing, and that the cold springs in the stream gave him the cramp, and he sank, and so was drowned. The jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. Mr. Richards held an inquest at the same house on the body of George Surrell, aged 17 years, who was also drowned while bathing in the Lea. The deceased was a cabinet-maker, and lived at 152, King's-cross road. On Sunday afternoon he went out with a friend to fish. Noticing several boys bathing, he, too, went in for a swim. His friend suddenly missed him, and raised an alarm. Mr. Rudolph Auberbach, a merchant, stripped and dived after the. deceased, and got him ashore after he had been eight minutes in the water. All efforts at resuscitation proved unavailing. The jury found that the deceased was acci dentally drowned. The same coroner held an inquest at the Lamb Tavern, Ratcliff, touching the death of John Shea, aged 10 years. On Sunday last the deceased and two other boys went into the Thames to bathe at St. George's stairs. He was seized with cramp, and was drowned. The body was only recovered on Tuesday. Verdict, accidental death. On Friday an uncle and nephew were drowned at about the same time, though in different places—both near to Wolverhampton. The uncle, a young man named Joseph Pickering, the son of the landlord of the Green Man Inn, Wolverhampton, who had also the management of a col liery at Willenhall, was se:zad with cramp whilst bathing in a pool near his father's pits, cried for help, and soon sank. A brother stripped and tried to rescue him, but he too was attacked with cramp, and could hardly save himself from drowning. A banksman now threw himself into the pool, and brought Pickering from the bottom, but he was dead. Whilst the family were carry. ing home the corpse, tidings were brought to them that a son of the deceased's married sister, named Glover, living at Wednestield, three miles off, had just fallen into the canal there and had been drowned also. About a quarter to eight o'clock on Thursday night the. greatest consternation prevailed in Pontypool and neigh bourhood, by a report that a large number of young ladies and gentlemen, relatives and friends of two of the princi pal residonts—Mr. E. B. Edwards, deputy sheriff for the' county, and Mr. James Essex, surgeon—had lost thei r lives by the upsetting of a boat. Hundreds hastened to the sp.A —the Upper Glyn Pond, which is sivate about a milt! , and a half from the town, when it was found the report was but too true. It appeared that the party had gone, out on the pond in an old, much-worn boat. They had not been long in it when the bottom began to give w ay, The ladies became frightened, and raised loud cries for help, which were heard by Luke Sanger, a boatman. He put off to their assistance, and in coming close, they, in their eagerness to get into his boat, upset both, and the melancholy result was that nine (including poor Sanger) were drowned. Deputy Chief constable Wlntosh and a posse of police, with the bystanders, made every exertion to recover the bodies, and before two o'clock they were all found, and placed side by side on beds in Sanger's house, after which they were re moved to the residences of Mr. Edwards and Mr. Essex. The names of the parties who lost their lives were— Miss Eleanor Essex (eldest daughter of Mr. Essex), Miss Janet Sloper, Miss Fanny lon (daughter of Mr. W. lon, of Abersychan), Miss James (slaughter of Dr. James, Panteg), Master Campbell Edwards, 16 ; Miss Kate Edwards, 15 ; Miss Jessie Edwards, 12; Master Granville. Edwards, 11 ; and Luke Sanger, 55, who has left a wife and family. PROPOSED NEW CONVALESCEN7 1105P17,4L. Plans for a Now Convalescent Hospital, which is to be built at a cost of half-a-million, are said to have been pre pared by Mr. Dale,of New Inn. The intention of thefounder, whose name is not allowed to transpire, is toprovide an hospi tal for thoso who are betwixt the middle and lower classes— the respectable mechanic, clerk, and the like, who cannot usually get fresh air and change during recovery from illness. It is calculated that about 1,000 visitors may be accommo dated at one time. The architect has planned out six separate dining halls, library, reading, billiard, and smoking rooms, gymnasium, and baths, so that amuse ment and recreation of all kinds may be bad within the building ; and ho has taken care that no violation of hygienic principles shall be committed in regard to ventila tion, water supply, drainage, and the like. Mr. Dale has circulated a pamphlet, containing an account of the plans, amongst many of the hospital physicians and others, for criticism. It is not settled as yet where the institution is to be. An endowment of .£25,000 a year is mentioned. PANSLAVIST AGITATION IN BOHEMIA, A St. Petersburg letter, in the North Eastern Correspon• dente, refers to the efforts made by Russia to fortify and extend the action of the agents of the Panslavist propa ganda in Austria. "At this moment (it says) an extraordi nary activity is being displayed in Bohemia. The numerous instruments of Russian policy have received instructions to exert every means to lead the Poles of Austria to make common cause with the Bohemians. Efforts are to be made, principally in Gallicia, on the democratic party, which is • looked upon as the most easy to seduce. When the number of agents paid by Russia is taken into consideration, with the frequency of the direct and indi rect relations between St. Petersburg or Moscow on the one hand and Prague on the other, and the facts which transpire relative to the communications sent by that means to the Russian Government, there is reason for alarm at the progress made by that propagandism." THE DUNE OF EDINBURGH'S TOUR.—In about six weeks it is stated that his loyal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh will again take his departure from England in her Majesty's ship Galatea on a lengthened cruise. The Army and Nary Gazette 13,2lieves that the Prince will first proceed to China, then to Japan, and return home by the way of New Zealand.
