This is the first time that he has exercised the veto power since the great trial of strength between the two parties, though probably few of his predecessors have put it in requisition so often as he had done previously. The result of the veto in the case of the Arkansas Bill was the same as on the more important occa sions when the PRESIDENT used his official right of protest. The house of Representatives passed the bill over the veto by 110 votes against 31. This was only to be expected, for it could not be sup posed that there would be any great modification in the sentiments of the dominant party, and its members are not likely to lose an opportunity of testifying their dislike to the PRESIDENT and his policy. If there is little changes, however, in the relations between PRE SIDENT and Congress there are wonderful alterations in the movements of political parties. A little while ago there was a general be lief that General GRANT would be put forward by the Democratic party as their candidate for the honours of the White House. It was said that having little chance of securing the election of a purely Democratic candidate, they would content themselves with the nomination of one who might obtain the votes of moderate men of all parties, who had shown himself favourably disposed towards the South, and was unlikely to sanction any violent or subversive changes. GRANT'S own conduct was for some time so cautious and so reticent that he might have been supported by either party, and cynical observers suggested that he was un willing to commit himself until ho saw which party gave him most chance of suc cess. Whether: this were true or no he cer tainly contrived to keep on terms with both sides in a manner very unusual in American politics. The difficulty about the War-office, however, proved too great to be surmounted by any degree of care or caution, and GRANT found himself forced to com mit himself to one side or the other. He identified himself with the Radicals, and by suddenly and without notice withdrawing from his temporary post he greatly embarrassed the PRESIDENT, who was not likely to forgive the desertion. GRANT has been rewarded by the support of the Radical party, who have put him forward as their candidate, and as we have seen the other day he has been nomi nated at Chicago as the Republican President to be. Chief Justice CHASE, on the other hand, has always been a prominent member of the Radical party. He is a friend of the negro, a supporter of negro suffrage, and, on most of the important test questions of the day, he has taken side with the Republicans. Yet Mr. CHASE, it is said, is likely to be put forward by the Democratic party as their candidate for the Presidency. Truth is stranger than fiction in America, if nowhere else. Who',Nvould have believed six:months ago that GRANT and CHASE would thus change places? If their can didature for Presidency had been announced last 4i per Cent.

A despatch has been received at the Admiralty from Commander Fellowes, of her Majesty's sloop Dryad, riving an account of the operations in Abyssinia of the Naval Rocket Brigade, which was under his command. The men landed at Zoulla on the 25th January, and having rapidly acquired a knowledge of drill and the management of mules, were soon ready to march to the front. Joining the commander-in ;hief on the 30th March, the brigade was warmly wel ,omed by his Excellency, and at his request went through its drill and fire with complete success. From Fahla, King Theodore opened fire on the Naval Brigade, which was enabled to return the first shot in a very short time, owing to the readiness with which the rocket tubes are handled. Commander Fellowes confirms the statement that Theo lore was astonished by the rockets, and that he said it was impossible to fight against people who used such things. The report goes on to describe the recrossing Df the Bashilo on the 17th of April, and the burning of 111agdala on the following day. From the spoil in the city a trophy was selected and given to each battery and regi ment. A valuable and handsome shield, with gold filigree and lion's skin, and a solid silver cross, fell to the lot of the Naval Brigade. The proceeds of the sale will be distributed among the troops, the manuscripts sent to the British Museum. In conclusion, the report says :—" The march ing of the men of the Naval Brigade has been excellent throughout, no case having occurred of men falling out on the march, although their boots have frequently been com pletely worn through, and even men who were sick en deavoured and succeeded in performing long marches. The most strict discipline has been maintained throughout, and in both these points especially the Naval Brigade can com pare favourably with any troops."

Bull Wharf, Angol-passage, 93, tipper Thames- At ra4i, London, E.C. REMARKS, A general diminution in barometrical pressures has taken place since our last report : in the N. the decrease has teen half an inch since Saturday. Readings this morning are about a quarter of an inch lower than yesterday on all coasts, except in the W., where the change in the last twenty-four hours has been slight. There is a difference of more than half an inch between readings at Nairn and Rochefort. Temperature has become lower generally. Southerly winds were prevalent yesterday in Ireland and on our Channel coast, where they were strong. Westerly and south-westerly winds are reported this morning from western stations. Rain has fallen on nearly all coasts, and thunder is reported from our E. coast—a thunderstorm is also reported from Brussels. On Saturday night there was lightning in London. The weather is generally cloudy. The Pope, replying to the congratulations of the Cardi nals upon the twenty-third anniversary of his accession, said: "Rome ought to be a sacred place. The very sacredness of the soil which we tread imposes upon each of us the duty of edifying the world by our actions. God weighs in the balance of justice our sufferings and our deeds. Let it be said of modern Rome, "That which she does not possess by arms she holds by religion.' " Count Moltke—he who sitting quietly in his official sanctum directed the operations on the field of battle in 1866—has spoken in Parliament on the debate on the Naval Loan. The Centre in the course of their discussions were not sparing in their censure of Bismarck. According to them he had committed a most unjustifiable act in paying off a number of ships, and delaying the construction of some seacoast redoubts, rather than employ money not re ceived on his own terms. The times, they held, were too serious for such experiments. However, it devolved upon the House under any circumstances to behave as patriots, even though the Government did not. They ought, therefore, to ratify the compromise arrived at, at last, between the Government and some leading members. In defence of this view Count Moltke said : "Is there any sensible man who would not wish the enormous military expenditure to be applied to peaceful purposes? But ardently as we may long for such a consumrra'ion, the time is distant whenwat will be replaced by international arbitrement. Whatever may be effected by the progress of civilisation, for the present there is, in my opinion, but one way to pre vent war in this quarter of the globe. A Power must rise in the centre of Europe, itself unambitious of con quest, yet strong enough to restra:n its neighbours. If such a blessing ever be conferred upon humanity, it will be through Germany—that is, through Germany when united. In arming them we do it not for ourselves alone. Part of the money demanded by Government is to be expended in costly experiments. To wait for these experiments to be ma,de by other nations would be unpractical. In mechanical science it is not the invention alone which is of Moment, but the way it is employed also. It took us twenty years to make our needle-gun the excellent weapon it is, and manufacture a supply of millions of them. If an honourable gentleman has given it as his opinion that all ironclad ships will b ultimately smashed by cannon, I can only say that I think a couple more wars will be necessary to settle the question. Gentlemen, our neighbours—including those who pretend to be ignorant of the fact- are well aware that we will not attack them. But they must likewise be made aware that we will not be attacked either, and this is why prekut loan hasksonae wcit:ititv." • ELECTORAL STATISTICS' A correspondent sends us some valuable statistics, which shew how enormously disproportionate is the distribution of electoral power in England, as tested by population and wealth. The Reform Bill will reduce this disproportion considerably; but even on the new register there will be abundant room for further rearrangement. *iyxors: S OF ELECTORAL POWER IN ENGLAND, 1665, OMITTING SMALL FRACTIONS. . 1 .1 Proportion for equal Transfer of , r ; electoral district. seats. 4 0 "8 !... g g 5 .

THE SIMULTANEOUS RIFLE MATCH BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA, AND CANADA.—On Satur day last the great rifle match between the volunteers of Great Britain, Australia, and the Dominion of Canada, which was commenced on Whit-Monday last, the Ist of June, on the simultaneous principle, was brought to a close, having lasted just eighteen days. Volunteers from all parts of Great Britain took part in it, and on nearly every day since its commencement the rifle ranges in and around the metropolis have been engaged for the purpose of the competition. The contest is known as the " Any Bore Simultaneous Rifle Match," and the present is the third or fourth occasion on which it has been held. Nearly all the scores of the volunteers in this country have now been sent in, and on the receipt of the others from Australia and Canada the result of the match will be announced. AN INHUMAN MONSTER.— A liberated soldier named Lod4ho, aged 30, has just been tried at Vannes, France, for the murder in that place of his wife, to whom he had been married less than a year, and the attempted homicide of his father-in-law. The crime was only remark. able for the trivial motive that called forth the animosity of the accused, and the brutal manner in which every thing had been committed. The man did not attempt to deny his guilt, and narrated the events with a most cynical indifference. Ile had conceived a resentment against his wife and father-in-law because they had persuaded him to purchase a cottage, for which he afterwards thoutatt that he had paid too dearly. He one day borrowed an iron bar and struck the woman on the head twice from behind as she was seated on a bed; he nest stabbed in the throat with a knife, and then, hearing her still groan, he stuffed a corner of a sheet into her mouth, and, getting on the bed, jumped several times on her body. His vengeance not being yet satiated, he next stabbed her several times in the abdomen, and then locking up the house he went to the residence of his father-in-law, and attempted to stab him in his bed, but the other called for aid, and Lod6ho made off and went to a small inn, where, while drinking, he related in a most unconcerned manner the two crimes which he had just perpetrated. He was sentenced to death. _• THE GO VERNMENT PROPOSITION FOR A ROMAN CA7IIOLIC UA'l VERSITY 11V lI?ELA YD. The following letter has been addressed to Lord Mayo by the Catholic prelates who were invited by the Government to consult on the granting of a charter to the Catholic University : 64 To THE RIGHT HON. TIIE EARL OF MAYO, M.P., CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. "My Lozd,—lt is but due to ourselves to call your attention to the explanations recently given by yourself in answer to Sir John Gray's question, and by another noble lord in the Upper House, both referring to the broken-off, if ever to be re sumed, negotiations concerning a charter for a Catholic University. These negotiations, the public is now fully aware, were entered upon in consequence of the declared intentions of the present as well as the late Government to remove in part the educational disabilities under which the Catholics of Ireland labour; and they were conducted so far as they went by your lord ship, aided by the Earl of Malmesbury, on the part of the Government, and by us on the part of the Catholic prelates of Ireland. Not only was public attention excited, but much satisfaction was felt when it became known that Government was pre pared to confer with the Catholic prelates of Ire land, through two of their number, upon the im portant subject in question. The negotiations went on smoothly but very slowly through the first stages, and then were suddenly stopped short, naturally causing something like a shock to public expecta tion, proportioned to the suddenness of the abrupt and unlooked-for termination of the business, sup posing it to be the termination. Then came the Parliamentary explanations from the Earl of Malmesbury and your lordship, to :which we now desire to call your attention. " If we may trust to the reports which have ap peared in the public journals, and there seems to be no reason for doubting their correctness, the Earl of 1\ lalmesbury's explanation was a misinterpreta tion of the facts involved—quite unintentional, we are willing to believe, nevertheless real ; for, as re ported, he said the negotiations ended in nothing, because the bishops rejected the plan proposed by Government, whereas the fact was that they ended, if they have ended, in nothing, because the Government rejected the suggestions which you had invited us to offer. And then, as re gards your lordship's explanation in answer to Sir John Gray's question, though far be it from us to impute anything like an inten tion to mystify or mislead, that explanation seems to leave it doubtful upon whom should rest the responsibility, whatever it be, of breaking off the negotiations —upon you or upon us. We desire to set the facts in their true light before the public ; and to remove the doubt on the other. " We do, then, assert that the negotiations were not broken off by us, or because we had rejected the plan proposed by the Government, and conse quently that we have not to answer for it if they have ended in a ' most lame and impotent con clusion.' At our interview with your lordship and the Earl of Mahnesbury you invited us to commit our views to writing, in order that they might be submitted to the consideration of the Government. You did not give us to understand, neither did we then or since give you to understand, that this statement of ours was to be regarded as our last word, in a negotiation but just opened, and upon a subject which, from its very nature, as well as from the divergence of views apparent at the out set, demanded a further interchange of ideas; a fuller discussion, if the whole business was to end in anything. Not a word of ours, spoken or writ ten, indicated that we had taken ground from which nothing could induce us to recede. We were pre pared.toido what parties conducting a negotiation in good faith must be prepared to do—listen to reason, and, as far as possible, make concessions as well as demands. Assuredly, there was nothing to make you think that you had to do with persons who would demand everything and concede nothing— who would hold tenaciously to their own once ex pressed opinion, but would pay uo heed to anything you might have to say on the other side—and that therefore you might regard our statement of the 31st of March as the final and unalterable ex pression of our views. It was not, my lord, in tended by us to be final ; nor was any such thing conveyed by us directly or by implication. If it was final, it was you, acting in the name of the Government, who made it final. After waiting for a considerable time, we will not insinuate for the purpose of seeing how far the bare offer of a charter for a Catholic University might be made to sub serve political exigencies, you, in the name of the Government, as if to cut away all ground for any further treating, rejected every one of the suggestions which you had invited us to make, and without more ado you had the correspondence printed and submitted to Parliament. You it was, then, my lord, not we, who brought the nego tiation to an abrupt termination, if terminated it has been. " That this business should have been terminated, if so it be, in a manner as abrupt as it was unlooked for, and without any benefit whatever resulting to the Catholic public such as was anticipated at the first starting of it, has naturally enough produced a deep sense of disappointment. We leave it to the public to pass its verdict upon the whole transaction, offering little or no remark our selves beyond a statement of the facts. But, as one of the negotiating parties, and maintaining as we do that we did not break off the negotia tions, we conceive we have a right to ask you, as the other party, and we do ask you, my lord, whether you consider what has taken place between us as final. Your reply will put beyond question upon whom rests the responsibility of an abrupt as .well as abortive termination of this whole business; and it is but right that whatever responsibility may attach to it in the eyes of the public should lie upon the really responsible party. It is oar intention to publish this letter.—We have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient servants, " t PATRICK LEAIIY, Archbishop, &c. " t JOHN DERRY, Bishop, &c.. " Thurles, June 16, 1868." The Salta Public of Lyons, in speaking of the silk trade, says :—" Business last week assumed all the development possible with stocks in such a state of exhaustion ; all articles were in demand, and the official quotations show a marked rise. The consignments from Asia have participated in the movement, and will probably be still more inquired for in presence of the enormous advance in the price of silks in Europe. Nevertheless, the most important transactions of the week consist in sales for delivery at very high rates. The cause of the briskness lies in the opinion, now general, that the crop will be inferior to that of last year both as to quantity and quality. In the factories an activity is observed which appears wonderful when we consider the price of the raw material. If any persons two years ago had said to the trade, then in utter stagnation, ' You will never again have a brisk market until the price of silks has risen 50 per cent., the dealers would have been seized with a lit of laughter ; and yet such is the exact truth at present, as the rise just men tioned has been realised ; hands are short ; material is bespoke before it reaches the warehouse ; and the high prices, readily accepted, do not for a mo ment arrest the consumption. From Paris and London orders arrive in swift succession, and even America seems disposed to return to our market. This situation is altogether unexpected ; yet a grain of sand on fortune's wheel might suffice to change the whole aspect of affairs. There are so many causes of disquietude in Europe, so many rifled cannons, so many loaded rifles, that people ask themselves what will be become of the high prices of silks and the consequent activity if a single shot were fired at this moment in Germany, Italy, or elsewhere. Let us not forget that Sadowa caused a fall of 30fr." THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.--A report, by Captain Holland, of later date than that noticed a short time ago, has been forwarded to the Secretary of State for India by Sir Robert Napier. It contains a statement of the condition the Land Transport Corps, and of the seve ral works carried out under the control of the Quarter termastor-Gcneral's Thypartment of the Alyssinian Field Force on the 12th May. 0 1 4fehT) 61114 .49Llintan HER MAJESTY.

The great concert of the season, that given an nually by Mr. Benedict now for three and thirty years, took place on Saturday afternoon at St. James's Hall, on which occasion an audience of the most distinguished character assembled. The doors of the great hall were opened at 1 o'clock, and from that hour until the commencement of the musical banquet the arrival of the company occasioned the greatest curiosity at both the entrances of the spacious building. The toilette of the ladies was elegant in the extreme, and the appearance of the interior of the hall at the opening of the concert, filled as it was by the aristocracy of the land, was highly attractive. The programme was a perfect musi cal curiosity, as it embraced the names of all the most distinguished artists known to fame. With out attempting to enumerate the brilliant corps, we may mention that Mdlle. Christine Nilsson, Madame Titiens, Mdlle. Kellogg, Mdlle. Adelina Patti, Madame Trebelli-Bettini, Signor Mario, and Mr. Santley headed the gigantic list of vocalists. No less than twenty-five pieces composed the first part of the concert, whilst the second amounted to the extraordinary number of twenty-nine, making in all fifty-four pieces—a number hitherto unprece dented even at the concerts of the great maestro, remarkable as each of the preceding ones have invariably been. It would be an impossibility to notice separately each of the musical gems that made up this extraordinary concert ; therefore we must content ourselves with merely particularising those which produced more than ordinary pleasure. Passing over the opening part-song, excellent though it was, the quintett from " Cosi fan tutte," the andante from the Kreutzer Sonata for piano and M. Sainton's violin, we come to Miss Edith Wynne's contribution to the great musical melange ; it was Benedict's lovely ballad, " Rock me to sleep," which she sang in the most charming manner. Piatti then followed with a brilliant violoncello fantasia, executed with the most remarkable taste, and this was succeeded by Madame Enequist sing ing Ganz's song, "The nightingale's trill," accom panied by the composer. Madame Carola greatly distinguished herself by her singing the air, " I will extol thee," from Costa's Eli, and Madlle. Kellogg sang one of the most bewitching ballads it has ever been our good fortune to hear, entitled " Beware, she is foolin g thee," accompanied by herself on the pianoforte. A request had been made to re frain from encores, but the audience were so en raptured that all appeal was vain, and silence could not be restored until the accomplished artiste re peated the ballad, which she did in the most genial and pleasing manner. Madame Goddard and Mr. Cowen having performed a brilliant fantasia, ar ranged by Benedict, from " Der Freyschutz," Christine Nilsson appeared and sung a portion of M. Ambroise Thomas's grand opera " Hamlet," the madness of Ophelia, and a more remarkable display of vocalization has certainly never taken place within our recollection. The fair Swede threw such an amount of pathos into the scene coupled with such a faultless execution of the score, that it fairly enraptured the entire audience, and a perfect hurricane of applause. followed its termina tion. Madlle. Patti next appeared, and sang charming new song of Benedict's, entitled " The Rose of Erin," with such exquisite taste that the rule was again broken through, and she hal to re peat it to the delighted audience. Madlle. Nilsson then sang one of Auber's brilliant French chansons splendidly, but the vast assemblage refused to part with her until she had sung them one of her native melodies—a request she complied with in the most charming manner, and which eli cited the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Benedict, who had accompanied the accomplished lady, now advanced to lead her from the platform, when she took his hand in such a frank and friendly manner that the - audience perceived the gratifying recogni tion, and joined their congratulations with those of Madlle. Nilsson, and thus a performance not in the programme became one of the most pleasing events of the concert. The first part was brought to a brilliant conclusion by the singing of a spirit-stirring national song by Mr. Santley, and the duo from "Le Nozze di Figaro," " Sull' aria," by Aldine. Titiens and Mdlle. Adelina Patti. In the second part Mdlle. Patti sang Eckert's Echo song with wonderful execution. She positively surpassed all her former efforts, and secured a triumph of no ordinary description. Mr. Santley sang a fine , bacchanalian song, "When my thirsty soul I steep, to the immense delight of the audience . ; and Signor Gardoni gave Blumenthal's romance, "Le chemia du Paradis," with the most refined taste ; Trebelli Bettini following with another by Durand, entitled" Commeh vingt ans," which she sang in her own irreproachable manner. Herr Leopold Auer and Mr. Lindsay Sloper next performed Ernst's " Aire Hongrois," for violin and pianoforte, each artiste vieing with the other to show the capabilities Of their respective instruments. It was a most delight' ful competition, as the effect of the wonderful tone produced by Auer had not passed away ere it we° recalled by the magnificent execution displayed by the great and accomplished pianist. The last vocal piece we have space to notice was Schubert's duo " Dis le moi," by Mdme. Trebelli-Bettini and Signor Bettini, and great as had been all the other per' formanees this duet was equal to rank with the moat successful. Just previous t° the close of the concert M. Benedict cam° to the pianoforte and performed the waif solo of the concert, an arrangement of his °lv? . of Dr. Arne's lovely air, " Where the bee suck s,' in the most brilliant manner. The fingering wasre markable, and the entire execution of the piece showed his marvellous command over the instru ment. It is almost needless to say that the ap plause was enthusiastic, and a more fitting term'' nation to this very remarkable concert could no t have been desired. The entire arrangements for the comfort of the visitors were again entrusted to the untiring, almos t übiquitous, Mr. Nimmo. Everything that could conduce to the thorough enjoyment of the concert was done ; and so successful were the effor . ta of the very clever manager that :the immense au th ; ence were seated with the greatest politeness an d attention ; each one :in the proper place, and OP without the slightest confusion or interruption. g r ' Nimmo may rest perfectly satisfied that his made!' yours to secure the comfort of the vast assembly were appreciatad as highly as they deserved to he' and also that he may add the concert for 1868 ,0 his long list of successes.

BATTLE BETWEEN A WOMAN AND A LYNSI. -- German woman named Jansen, living near White f Bay, Wis., Lad a battle with a lynx a few days since, l'l3 succeeded in disabling it.
