Rear-Admiral Warden's report of the trials of the Chinnd Fleet last year has been published in a Parliamentary paper. Ho states that the cruise of the squadron under his orders was on the whole a satisfactory one. One of the trials lasted from noon to four p.m., and when the recall was made the following is stated to have been the "extraordinary" result :—The Achilles beat the Minotaur and the Lord Warden by 4-1 miles, the Bellerophon and the Prince Consort by 4j miles, the Royal Oak by 2i miles, and Warrior by 11 miles. The Lord Clyde was not taken into account as she was thrown to leeward by having to pass the Minotaur, and was placed at a con siderable disadvantage. The Pallas is stated to have been nowhere. To put the result in another form :—The Achilles gained to windward of the Minotaur 9,774 yards, of the Warrior 7,147, the Royal Oak 1,449, the Lord Warden 765, the Prince Consort 634, and the Bellerophon 506. The report goes on to say that it is very remarkable to find a ship, in the short space of four hours, beating a very similar ship as much as five miles dead to windward, and beating some of the latest constructed ships almost to the same extent; and this. it is to be remembered, by a ship, which, but ono year ago, under a different system of roasting, had great difficulty in getting from one tack to the other by tacking, and had actually, on ono occasion, re fused to wear. The Rear-Admiral thinks it is impossible to advance anything stronger iu favour of giving the Mino taur three masts instead of five, whenever concurrent cir cumstances admit of the transformation being made. On the 26th Nov. a full-speed trial, under steam, was made from 8 aan to 4 p.m. The patent log of the Minotaur, the sternmost ship but one, showed 90 miles, and the other, the Helicon, which was the headmost ship, showed 104 miles. The Achilles gained on the Lord Clyde 131 miles, the Belle rophon 101, the Minotaur 10, the Pallas 81, the Prince Con sort 81, the Warrior 61, the Lord Warden 4'l ; but she lost on the Helicon 1; miles. "Here, again," says the writer, "we have the Achilles, one of the first iron-clad ships built after the Warrior and Black Prince, distancing in a run of 100 miles, occupying eight hours, some of the latest con structed ships (and they containing generally the most recent improvements which have taken place in condensers, &e.), in a very remarkable manner, and oven holding her own within alcouple of miles, with a very fast despatch vessel, in wea ther very favourable to the latter. It is to be borne in mind also, that while the engines of the Achilles develop° only about 5,700 horse-power to drive 6,000 tons, those of the Bel lerophon, Lord Warden, and Lord Clyde, were constructed to develop° about 6,000 horse-power to drive 4,000 tons. It is a result, I think, calculated to give rise to very serious re flection." The 29th November was devoted to target practice, which was attended by three accidents: one, in the Achilles, by the premature explosion of a cartridge in loading one of the guns, by which one of the gun's crew unfortunately lost his arm; the second iu the Lord Clyde, by the bursting of a shell in one of the 7-inch GI -ton guns, by which a piece of the muzzle was blown off, without, however, any further acci dent to any one; and the third, in the Warrior, where an eight inch gun of the main-deck battery, in firing the first round, drew the pivotting bolt. The report is accompanied by diagrams illustrating the trials. Orders by post punctually attended to. 9PHE LATEST EDITION of " THE SUN." 1 J.

In the House of Commons the morning sitting was devoted to the Public Schools Bill, and five hours were taken up by the discussions of the com mittee. Mr. AYRTON engaged himself in another criticism on the inefficiency of our Public Schools, in general, but he did not seem to meet with favour, for a proposition he made was not supported, and a clause he moved to provide for the admission of old boys to the great public schools was rejected by a majority of 56. Mr. LOWE withdrew his clause, to the effect that the boys admitted at these schools should be annually examined by one of the Privy Council inspectors, and at first sight this seems ad visable, but it was objected that to do so would be displeasing to the schools, and if not satisfactory the Government could do nothing. In the evening sit ting some remarks were made on the Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill. After it had been said that the Government did not care for the bill being passed, Mr. DISRAELI spoke very strongly, and declared that he would prolong the session in order to pass it. There was a good deal of truth in the remarks of Colonel NORTH, that the Opposi tion were in fault by their system of talking out the measure. The Premier has wisely ceded to give an evening sitting to the discussion of the bill, since the mornings already devoted to the purpose have passed so unsatisfactory. Some other measures were discussed, and Mr. Lo WE said that there was not sufficient room in the British Museum, and Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH gave some explanations on the postal arrangements, which were satisfactory. The House of Commons was certainly more cool and collected yesterday than the_" other place" can be said to have been, and but for the episode of the Cattle Bill its proceedings would have been very quiet. On the whole, the work of the session is progressing favourably, and there is every prospect of it speedily terminating after having transacted all business that is absolutely necessary. We are not surprised that the motion brought forward by Lord STRA.TIIEDEN, on Monday night, in the House of Lords, should have produced a long debate. The Confederation of the British 1 North American Provinces is a matter of such im portance that it would ill become the English Par liament to slight or set aside any communications concerning it. It is only comparatively of late years that the public has at all begun to appreciate the extent and the value of the British possessions on the American continent. The wealth of the vast tracts of land which are nominally under British rule is as yet un developed, but there is good reason to believe that the natural resources of the country, cereal, mineral, animal, and maritime, are in the highest degree important. Canadian timber, or " lumber" as it is termed, is well known in American markets, and British Columbia has taught us that veritable gold lies hidden in parts of the richly favoured soil. There can be no doubt that many of the rich tracts of land yet uncultivated in various parts would supply almost measureless wealth to the agriculturist both in crops and pasture, and Hudson's Bay Com pany has proved that even the waste districts have their natural wealth in furs. if we look in another direction we find Nova Scotia and Newfoundland possessing a fishing trade of great value, and their hardy seafaring populations only require to be re- LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, July 7 (Evening). The Democratic National Convention, which assembled here on Saturday last, have to-day an nounced their platform. It favours the taxation of United States Bonds and the payment in currency of the in bonds of all public debts, e xce pt w he re pay ment coin is expressly stipulat3d. It declares that naturalised American citizens abroad enjoy equal rights with native-born subjects of the United States. SERVIA. BELGRADE, July 8. M. Arnould, the correspondent of the Paris paper La Patrie in this capital, being alleged to have for warded incorrect reports of the recent events in S erv ia, was to have been exposed to a demonstra tion of the popular displeasure. M. Arnould, how ever, having received timely warning, quitted Bel grade, and the demonstration took place in front of the residence he had left. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. FALMOUTH, Wednesday Morning. The Cape of Good Hope Company's steamer Asia, Gaine, Commander, arrived at this port at 8.30 a.m. to-day from Algoa Bay, &c., having on freight 2,539 bales wool, 60 tons skins, 15 tons hides, and sundries ; 36 first-class and 8 second class passengers. Among the first-class passengers are Colonel and Mrs. Hamilton and children, Captain and Mrs. Vigors and child, Major and Mrs. Morant and three children, Captain J. G. Lakes, Captain and Mrs. Edwards. The Asia left Alg,oa Bay .28th May ; Capetown, Ist June ; St. ,Ilelena, 10th June ; Madeira, 29th June ; and experienced fine weather throughout the entire passage.

REMARKS. :here baa been scarcely any change in the barometrical pressure at any of our stations since yesterday, except at Brussels and Skwlesnaes, where there is an increase of O'lin. This morning pressure is very evenly distributed, but is slightly lower at our northern than at the southern stations. Temperat ure has increased sl ightly, except in the west, where it has diminished a little. The winds are generally light and variable ; fresh wes terl y breezes are, however, reported from Nairn and Cape Clear. W eather this mornin g is fine, but cloudy. and fog and m i st prevail at Rain has fallen in the south of Ireland, places in the south. Reports of a projected interview between th e E mperors of France and Russia and the King of Prussia have again been revived. One journal guarantees the authenticity of the statement, but it receives general discredit. The accounts of the misery caused by misrule in Spain are alarming. Mendicity, always prevalent at Madrid, has greatly increased, and the police are continually employed in arresting vagabonds or citizens driven from home by hunger. The public resources are utterly unequal to such an amount of pauperism. Orders have been given to the provincial authorities to prevent any one coming to Madrid to seek emploYment. W or k i s nowhere to be found, not even in the seaports, where the chances are always best. Commerce is paralysed, and industry suspended ; the wo r k s h o p s are closed, and bankruptcy is of every-day occur rence. Begging, then, is the sole alternative except brigandage, which is resorted to by great numbers. These accounts are not astonishing wh en th e hi story of Spain for years past is taken i n t o considera tion. Moderate journals are attempting to put an end to their ruinous situation by bringing the Court and the revolutionary party to terms. Large concessions on each side are absolutely necessary to this end ; but recent experience shewa how small is the hope of settlement. The correspondent of the Telegraph gives some lively details respecting the Skuptschina, or Servian Parliament. The assembly is about 500 strong, and consists of four fifths peasantry and handicraftsmen, and the other fifth tradesmen and landowners. The writer doubts whether many o f the deputies can read or write : one-half the Number at least are profoundly ignorant on these points, and take their politics from the more instructed section. Not unfrequently one of the illiterate members has risen to express his opinions, and has been told by one of his learned brethren to " sit down, and leave such matters to people who under stand them." This is a truly admirable principle of business, and might be advantageously applied in the West, if we could but find the proper censor. The " House of Commons " is a large wooden shed, with rough deal benches. The members are allowed about three shillings per day lodging money, and are provided with food of the roughest description. Prior to the day of meeting all the members were obliged to encamp out in the park of Top. chider& Their victuals were cooked twice a day for them, and, as the writer quaintly remarks, it must have been a curious sight to see the five hundred r epresentatives of the nation supping their strong broth out of the big camp kettles, and eating their pork and black bread, squatted on the ground in groups before their tents. " I will venture to say that forks were as rare amongst these legislators as rosewater or napkins. A Servian deputy cuts his meat and picks his teeth with his poniard, and wipes his greasy hands either in his hair or on the seat of his trousers. He is generally covered all ever with fleas and weapons--would that ho confined his use of the latter to ridding himself of the former I His dress is as unparliamentary as may be, and lie has about as little notion of the whole business he is supposed to transact as he has of Greek particles or the differential calculus." Let us, however, remember that great results have arisen from elements as unpromising As the Servian deputies. The London Working Men's Association, otherwise "Mr, Potter's Society," is agitating just now for an exten• sion of the hours of polling, They complain that thougl, they have been given the right of voting, working men will not be able to exercise it without personal loss. The hours at which the poll is at present required to bo opened are those during which a working man is hard at work. If, then, he have to leave his work ho would lose several hours, All this might be avoided by simply extending the hours to eight o'clock in the evening, A clause in the Bribery Bill would yet amend the evil. There is one serious objection to the proposal, A general election gone. rally takes place late in the autumn, and at eight o'clocl4 darkness has set in, -Is not the darkness in such a til4lo of excitement rather favourable to rioting ?

DEVONPORT.—It is stated that the Conservative candi dates for Devonport will be Mr. Ferrand, who was unseated for bribery, and Mr. Cecil Rrikes, who was defeated at the last election. Lord Eliot is probably secure, but Mr. Chambers's success is doubtful, as he is unpopular in the dockyard. ATHLONE.—Mr. John Staniforth (L.), a gentleman of fortune and position, has issued an address to the electors of Athlone. BRIGHTON.—The Post is informed that Mr. James Ash bury, owner of the Cambria schooner, will be requested to stand in the Liberal interest. BEINDLEY.-Sir R. A. Glass (C.), the layer of the Atlantic cable, has commenced an active canvass. The split in the Liberal ranks has not yet been healed. DROGHEDA.-Mr. \MAWOrth (L.), the sitting member, is to be opposed by Mr. Brodigan, who unsuccessfully con tested the borough in July 1865. DUNDALK.-Sir George Bowyer (L.) has addressed the electors of this borough, intimating his intention of con testing the coming election. Both he and Mr. Philip Callan (L.) will go to the poll. The Conservative candi date has not been yet named. LEEDS.— A large meeting, numbering from 15,000 to 20,000 persons, has been held, to choose the two Liberal candidates. Three names were put up—Mr. Baines, one of the present members, Mr. Alderman Carter, and Viscount Amberley. Messrs. Baines and Carter had a large majority, and they will accordingly issue their addresses. MERTHTR. —The Right Hon. H. A. Bruce (L.) has met a considerable number of his leading supporters. He expressed himself as tolerably secure of success, if he could rely upon promises, but in election times it would not do to be too certain. He claimed the first seat, and thought that sixteen years' hard work in the House of Commons entitled him to it. He desired to stand by himself, and let the other two candidates fight for the second seat between themselves. MERIONETHSHIRE. - At a numerously-attended meeting of delegates from all parts of the county, held at Dolgelly, it was unanimously resolved that Mr. David Williams be invited to stand in the Liberal interest, and on the voluntary principle. Mr. Williams has acceded to the request. As yet the Conservatives have made no definite sign. Mr. Richard Meredydd Richards is spoken of. MonrEnr.—Sir George Grey (L.) has lately stated his desire to have an early opportunity of addressing his new constituents in Blyth, which has been annexed to Mor peth. There is at present no indication of intended opposition to the return of the right hon. gentleman. READING.—Sir Charles Russell, whom the Conservatives have given up as a candidate for Berkshire, will, it is thought, offer himself for the county town. STAFFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Staveley Hill, Q.C., has been invited to stand for West Staffordshire as a Conservative. Mr. J. Hartley, of Wolverhampton, a Wesleyan, will con test East Stafford in the Conservative interest. WATERFORD CITY.—Mr. James Delahunty has com menced an active canvass of the electors. WHITBY.—Mr. W. H. Gladstone (L.) has announced his readiness to come forward as a candidate for the represen tation of Whitby. YORKSHIRE (EAST RIDING).—The split in the Conser vative camp has resolved the Liberals upon starting at least one candidate. It is stated that tile Liberal lords have invited Mr. Denison and Colonel ITaworth. There has been no contest in the Riding fur twenty-seven years. GRAVESEND. - Sir C. Wingfield, whose address has been issued to the electors, promises to give a hearty support to Mr. Gladstone. He is brother of Mr. IVingtield Baker, Liberal candidate for North Essex, and has had a brilliant career in India, where he administered for several years the great kingdom of Oude in times of difficulty with signal success, and distinguished himself by his ability in high posts in the Civil Service. A Cadiz journal relates a sad accident which has recently occurred in the Bay of Algesiras. A small corvette, the Golondrina, was exercising her men in firing, when the gun burst and wounded twenty-two out of the twenty-eight men composing the crew. Some are severely hurt, but hitherto none of them have died. COAL PIT EXPLOSION IN STAFFORDSIIIRE.-011 Tuesday morning an explosion of gas occurred in Messrs. Goddard and Son's " Knowles " coal pit, at Fenton, Staffordshire. There was a number of men at work in the pit at the time, and four of them—Joseph Booth, David Booth, William Booth (father, son, and nephew), and Benjamin Bould— who were "getting " coal at a depth of 360 yards, were burnt very severely. The cause of the explosion is believed to be firing a shot for blasting the coal, but there had been an accumulation of gas for some days, and some of the men had refused to go into the pit on that account. FIGHT BETWEEN A Fox AND TWO EAGLES.--A shepherd in the vicinity of Ballater witnessed a somewhat remarkable contest the other day between a fox and two eagles. Reynard had got a piece of meat with which he was making off, when an eagle swooped down and attempted to seize it. The fox boldly showed fight, how_ ever, and stuck by his prize. Another eagle then came to the aid of the first, but both were set at defiance by their four-footed antagonist, who was ultimately allowed to get off in triumph, the eagles soaring aloft when the shepherd approached rather near the place where the fight was proceeding.—Edinburgh Courant. SIR ROBERT NAPIER.—It iS understood that Sir Robert Napier is about to be raised to the peerage, under the title of Baron Napier of Magdala, and that he will be gazetted in a few days. Meanwhile Sir Robert has been pleased to accept the freedom of the City of London, which was recently voted to him by acclamation, with a :word of great value, by the Court of Common Council, and it has been arranged between him and the Lord Mayor that the ceremony of con ferring this mark of distinction shall be conducted in the Guildhall on Tuesday, the 21st inst.

Their 2 500 agents—confectioners' in LOndon, and chemists in the country—are constantly receiving fresh supplies of these Lang-approved teas. Sold only in rackets. 711 E 2V VUU7S. The decision of the Government respecting the architect for the new law courts has been received with universal surprise. Of the eleven gentlemen engaged in this the greatest competition of modern times three or four only came to the surface. Four or five hopelessly submerged ; but in neither category could Mr. Street, 1.R.A., be fairly placed. Events prove that he is the favourite of fortune or possesses a few staunch friends, for it must be confessed that he finds little favour with the public, and the judges have coldly regarded him. If the commission meant anything, and was to be of the slightest service, Mr. Street's appointment must be unjust, for he obtained, it seems, but three points out of fifty, whereas some of the less fortu nate competitors scored as high as forty-seven. Surely the public have a right to demand and receive an explanation of this result of a competi tion which in all its stages has been unsatisfactory to everybody. Thus far none —none, at least, that is not perfectly incomprehensible—has been ac corded by the Government which ventures to ad vance no other plea but that of expediency. Mr. Welby Pugin appears in some degree to be responsible for the apparently inextricable confusion into which the judges and commissioners were thrown. In his review of the designs he placed Mr. Street at the head of the list, and he has since sup ported that view in a letter which appeared in the nmes of June 23, which we reprint below. Neither Mr. Pugiu's reasons, however, nor his facts appear to us satisfactory, or justify, in our opinion, the present position of affairs. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Will you kindly extend the favour granted to me on former occasions, and insert a few fur- :her suggestions in supplement to those I have already offered respecting the proposed New Law Courts ? I trust I may not be suspected of personal mo- tives in asserting that the Government, in its final decision, has shown greater judgment than might have been expected if the Earl of Carnarvon's canon about Government's " capacity, as a rule,' for deciding on matters 46 of taste" be true. If " the arrangement of courts and offices is of such vital moment" that it ought to supersede all the considerations of architectural effect, and if, as is and his supporters, inferred by Mr. E. M. Barry the instructions were to be taken literally, and not relatively, why was not the obvious common sense course adopted in the beginning of having a preliminary competition confined to the general arrangement and ground plan ? It is confessedly in the ground plan alone that anything like com plete success has been achieved. If, however, the best ground plan was found to be combined with the worst elevation, and if the best elevation was united to a ground plan of which the worst that could be said was that it was " inconsistent with some of the conditions," then the Government was obviously reduced to the necessity of choosing be tween two alternatives ; and I am bold enough to maintain that in selecting Mr. Street's designs they have done wisely ; and, whatever may now be said to the contrary, the Government will even tually receive the thanks of all competent judges of art. If Mr. E. M. Barry's superior ground plan failed to set off his elevations, the latter must have been, even to a Government without " capa city" in respect of " taste" bad indeed. Mr. Street's " architectural elevations," on the other hand, de- spite their very serious defects, which I ventured to point out in your journal of August 15, 1867, evince a power which, when coupled with a sense of the responsibility and grandeur of his position, will en able him to rise far above the comparative medio- crity of his present design and produce a work worthy of its purpose and of the country. Let me, moreover, remind Mr. E. M. Barry, first, that the Lord Chancellor declared it to have been a question with the judges which of the authors showed the greatest capacity for superintending the erection of, and not merely for planning, the new Law Courts ; and, second, that the Attorney- General pronounced the decision in favour of two competitors to be " invalid." I have little doubt that Mr. Street is perfectly competent to improve and perfect his ground plan ; but I have far less doubt about Mr. E. ➢l. Barry's incapacity for mending his elevations. It, therefore, resolved itself into a matter of choice between a short coming which any ordinarily gifted architect could set right, and a serious evil of which there was scarcely a hope of remedy. Who can say, then, that the decision in favour of Mr. Street is not a cause of congratulation, and that the Government have shown themselves above pedantry and red tapeism ? Mr. E. M. Barry claims the award on the ground of his compliance with the conditions. This sounds well, if it were true. But if he had fairly attended to what he considers a fundamental principle in the competition, viz., " utility before effect," he would never have produced that useless and incongruous mass presented by him for our admiration. There is no canon of art against which Mr. E. M. Barry more incessantly offends in his designs than this. He is ever trying to produce " effects," independent of and at variance with both "principle" and " utility," and be seems ready to sacrifice every principle of his art, from sheer inabi lity to adapt, compromise, or combine without totally destroying all proportion and beauty. One may test this not only by his elevations for the Law Courts, which abundantly demonstrate his utter incompetency to treat a fair ground plan on architectural principles or with aesthetic propriety, but also by his recently executed works in Palace-yard. With regard to the former, the Marquis of Salisbury, whose words prove him to be not merely an admirer, but a sound judge of art, strangely appears on this occasion to have attributed to Mr. Barry's design the very expressions which most appropriately describe that of Mr. Street—" sober and decent ;" whereas Mr. Barry's is about as giddy, puerile,!and firework sort of a design as could possibly be produced. There is, positively, not one vigorous, sober, or manly line in it from one end to the other. Again, take the cloister in Palace-yard. Surely this can not be placed on the credit side of any man's repu tation ; and no one would ever wish to see a pro duction (in itself a mere vulgar adaptation of the larger building which it ruins) reproduced -in a thousand ways, usque ad nauseam, over a mass covering upwards of eight acres. Supposing Mr. E. M. Barry had got the New Law Courts, and presuming that they take 20 years to erect, 50 years would then have elapsed since the Houses of Parliament were designed ; and we should find ourselves just completing a building which could only be tolerated from the fact that the work had been commenced 50 years before, when " true principles" were almost unknown. In other words, the result would be simply tantamount of itself to archaeologically setting back the pro gress of the Revival by half a century, and placing the Houses of Parliament 50 years beyond the period of their own erection. All this, too, inde pendent of the injury so large a work would in evitably entail on contemporary operations. Let Mr. E. M. Barry, therefore, content himself with raising the three useless domes of his National Gallery—with their certainty of shadow and the non- utility spikes and pots and other ab surd and overlaid detail—and spare us the in fliction of a second and more important build ing equally lamentable. And let us congratulate ourselves upon the wise and judicious deci sion to which (in the absence of one still more wise) Government has arrived. It is now impossible to consider fully the important question of site with reference to the Thames Embankment, and to per fect a ground plan in all its internal arrangements before finally deciding at all about the " archi tectural elevations, let us, at all events feel thank ful that the judges acquiesced in Lord Cranworth's intimation that, "in addition to internal accom modation, convenience, and general arrangement &c., a handsome facade was naturally expected,'' and did not sacrifice this great national work for the sake of a ground plan which they may have appreciated, but which is totally independent of its elevations. . . A camel is a very coaveniently arranged animal, and its c‘ internal accommodation" appears to be remarkably well adapted to the countries wherein it flourishes, but I suppose people would not gene ral!), prefer a camel if they could procure the same advantages in an animal of less ungainly exterior. The nation has a right to expect not only that convenience should be studied, but that it should be so studied and general as to form the principal claim to our admiration, and thus be productive of living and necessary architectural combinations, other wise unattainable, and which would mark the age.—Your obedient obedient, Ramsgate, June 20. E. WELBY PUGIN. Card tirnflar. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 7. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise and Prince Leopold, went out this morning. Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse returned ;o the Castle from London this morning. The Queen held a Council to-day at ono o'clock. [EALTH OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES. (THIS DAY). The following bulletin was issued this morn- ing : " Marlborough House, July 8. Her Royal Highness and infant Princess are going on perfectly well. " ARTHUR FARRE, M.D. " EDWARD 11. SIEVEKING, M.D." The Prince of Wales's family now numbers four, viz., Albert Victor Charles Edward, born January 8, 1864 ; George Frederick Ernest &Ibert, born June 3, 1865 ; Louise Victoria Alexandrina Dag mar, born February 20, 1867 ; and the princess as yet unnamed, whose birth formed the subject of congratulations at Marlborough House on Monday. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., and Mrs. Gladstone were honoured by the company of their Royal Highnesses the Count and Countess de Paris at dinner last evening, at their residence on Carlton House terrace. The dinner circle included his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador and the Countess Bernstorff, the Duke of Argyll and Lady Edith Campbell, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord and Lady Frederick Cavendish, Lord William Hay, Lord Eliot, the Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean of Windsor and Mrs. Wellesley, (Sze. After dinner Mrs. Gladstone received a select circle. The Princess de la Tour d'Auvergne, who has re sided for the last eighteen months at Jerusalem, for the purpose of personally superintending the erec tion of a chapel somewhat similar to that on the Campo Santo at Pisa, has gratuitously ceded to the French Government an estate she has purchased on Mount Olivet, and which, according to tradition, is the exact spot whence Our Saviour delivered the Sermon on the Mount. The Princess has made this donation without any reserve, except that of being allowed to continue the erection of the sacred buildings, of which she has submitted a plan to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ambassador of Russia has transmitted to the Prefect of the Seine a marble bust of his Imperial master, which Alexander 11. presents to the city of Paris in acknowledgment of the evening of the Bth of June, 1867, when he dined at the Hotel de Ville. The bust will be placed in the gallery con taining those of Sovereigns who have partaken of the civic hospitalities since 1852. The list is a long one, considering the personages of which it is com posed :—The Queen of England and the Prince Consort, Victor Emmanuel, Pedro V. (the late King of Portugal), his brother, Luiz I. (the present King of the country), the Queen of Portugal, the late King Maximilian 11. of Bavaria, the Sultan, the Emperor of Germany, the King of Belgium, the Queen of Belgium, and the Emperor of All the Russias. A large number of Parliamentary veterans have decided not to seek re-election to the new House of Commons. In the list are many who have been members of Parliament ever since the 10-pounders in boroughs and the 50-pounders in counties have exere t ked the franchise under the provisions of the Act of 1832. Amongst the hon. members who will , retire is Lord Hotham, who is 74 years of age. Hie lordship and Colonel Peers Williams, the senior re presentative of Great Marlow, may be termed the joint fathers of the House of Commons, for both have been in Parliament 48 years. Lord Hothani has during that long period successively repre sented Leominster and the East Riding of York shire, while Colonel Williams has sat uninter ruptedly for the constituency which he now re presents. A most interesting work, entitled 4( Marl@ Amelia de Bourbon," has just appeared. The frontispiece consists of a portrait of the aged Queen, Winterbalter, and the book itself contains several autographs, amongst which are letters from Louis Philippe, the Queen herself, the Duchess of Orleans, and the various members of the Orleans family ; and a letter likewise from the present King of Bel gium, written when he was quite a child. A most curious narrative by the Count of Paris, written for his mother, gives an intelligent account of his visit to Cail's foundry, where the young Prince wag present at the casting of the various parts of a rail way engine. The following paragraph is from the Figaro Among the items of the annual expenses incident to the keeping up of the House of Commons ism Towards dusting and sweeping the House of Coal' mons during the session of 1867, £1,150 sterling• 'Good heavens !' exclaims the much-amazed Figaro, what wild gymnastic exploits must not the members of the house indulge to raise such a dust as to require the above outlay ! How can the staid representatives of the English nation possibly spend their time ? Do they jouer de la semelle between their speeches ? But even so, to have to pay £1,15 0 sterling to sweep away the dust made by these gentlemen sounds rather hard lines for the country. Why is there no mat at the entrance door?' Jouef de la semelle is a practice common amongst college boys and children, who warm their feet in winter by striking the soles of their shoes or boots in g i measured manner against those of another OW mate." A remarkable illustration of the character of the British juryman was given the other day in a trial before Mr. Justice Hannen. The point at issue was whether a builder could recover a sum of money from the property of a lunatic for 1 0 4 done at the order of his wife since deceased. T he lady had been in the receipt of a certain allowanc e ' and the judge told the jury that if they though t this allowance had been ample to defray all er penses, these repairs included, then the husband 15 estate would not be liable. The jury could nc k shut their eyes to the fact that the allowance had been ample ; but one of them inquired of th e " ,, judge with a kind of indignant simplicity that most amusing, " But, my lord, is not the man to be paid ?" His lordship then laid down with grea t gravity that they must not allow that consider* . tion to influence them by one hair's breadth-1 view of the case evidently shocking to the mind the small tradesman by whom no higher princiP l , ci e was conceivable than that a man should be pa l for his work no matter how or by whom. Anoth e juror immediately asked, "If we find it v( 0 sufficient sum the tradesman will not get by" money," and was again assured by the same i ,, /1 ; exorable authority that this had nothing to t' t with the present question. The jury then rat sulkily found that the allowance was sufficient, apt the verdict was entered for the defendant. . 13 ` i they tacked on to their verdict the expression e ' an opinion that the wife was the husband's ag en t and struggled manfully against the instructions the judge.
