STAMPED and Gentlemen,—The commission conferred upon me by my Government will be productive to myself, I have no doubt, of that happiness which so far has attended it. From the moment I landed upon your shores up to the present time the greatest possible kindness has been extended to me, very much to n,y delight and gratification. My country will consider it an earnest of the friendly feelings you have for them that all her Majesty's subjects, I am glad not only to believe, but to know, entertain towards me so gracious a feeling. (Applause.) We are, in fact, but one people. (Hear, hear.) Oar dis positions are the same, our political institutions are substantially the sam?, our religion is the same, and, above all, as the litmus by whica the others are bound together, our langu tge is the same. (Hear, hear.) That language wherever spoken, whether spoken by au Englishman to an American, or by an American to an Englishman, creates at once feelings of brotherhood ; and, speaking from personal experience, from the moment I put my foot on your shores—not now for the first time—l felt that, although in one sense I was in a foreign land, I was not a stranger. The shake of the hand reminds me of home ; the kindness with which I am met reminds me of home ; the personal simi larity I see around me reminds me of home ; and, above all, your feelings and sentiineuts of political liberty, which lie so deeply and so firmly as the foundation upon which your Govern ment rests, remind me of home. (Applause.) And I shall ever rejoice that the Government of my own country has conferred upon me the op portunity of becoming more acquainted with the people of England than I could have hoped to be if circumstances had been otherwise. There are but few differences existing now between us ; few in my judgment, and unimportant—unimportant, be cause they can be amicably adjusted—unimportant, because that amicable adjustment may be accom plished without tarnishing in the slightest degree the honour of either nation. It would be to me and to my Government a matter of the deepest re gret if in the settlement which we are about, I hope, soon to make another Government should suffer in its own opinion, or in that of the world at large. My Government will do nothing to detract from its own reputation, I know ;. but I know also, and with as much certainty, that your Govern ment will do nothing which can in the slightest degree tarnish its reputation. Gentlemen, all I can do, in conclusion, is to thank you col lectively and individually for this tnatk of your respect, and to assure you that in my negotiations with yoar Government it will be my earnest desire —and I have every reason to believe that desire will be fulfilled--not only to maintain, but to strengthen, the friendly relations which have so long happily existed between the two nations. With my best thanks to you, Mr. Mayor, and to all present, I for a time bid you adieu. Three cheers for the United States were called for by the Mayor and given heartily, after which his Excellency was conducted over the Town hall and to the Fine Arts Exhibition, where the Executive Committee presented him with an ad dress. In reply to the address Mr. REVERDY JOIINSON said—Ever since I have been in Leeds the few hours only of that day have been full of interest to me personally, and will also be full of interest. to my countrymen when they shall hear of the proceed ings of this day. (Cheers.) It will satisfy them of what I am already satisfied- of, and have been from the moment of my landing an your shores, that the peace between England and the United States will endure for ever. (Applause.) War, as far as we are connected, in the judgment of all reflecting men, and I am satisfied it would in your own judgment -war between our Governments would be but a repetition of the civil war which has desolated our ' own laud, for we are in fact one people, descended from a common ancestry, of which all are equally proud, and destined to accomplish the like purpose for the good and happiness of men by extending freedom throughout the world—(applause)—and if in the chances of time you should be involved in peril—if peril you can be involved in—it will be our duty, as I am sure it will be our pleasure, to stand shoulder to shoulder and resist the shock. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, you tell me that I have been here so short a time that I am not able prverly to appre ciate the magnitude of your Exhibition. I have not been so long as I could wish, and, if I am to decide it, this is not the last visit which I may have the honour to make to your town—(applause)—but I have seen enough to convince me that you are lovers of the arts—the arts the result of peace—the arts which do not involve the sacrifice of human life, but the correction of the human taste and the human- ising of the human heart, and the spread, above all _ . . of a Christian and healing resignation—(hear, hear) —and I have seen enough also to be convinced that in the manufacture of everything which contributes to the wants or elegancies of man your town is not behind any in the civilised world; and may you continue to prosper, may you push that prosperity even further by and bye than the extent to which it has already gone, and stand forth to the world as a community devoted to the arts of peace, be' cause such is the duty of Christians, and, abhorring war, because to abhor it is also the duty of Chris tians—(cheers)—and neither of us require war with each other, or with any other nation, to establish our martial character. (Hear, hear.) Upon the ocean and upon the laud we have each at times illustrated our capacity for war, as well as we have illustrated the love which we entertain for peace ; and in the last campaign in which you have been en gaged, a campaign upon which you were urged by the obligation to protect your citizens, and rescue them from captivity, thus discharging the duty which every Government owes to its own citizens, you have proved again that in the arts of war, in- deed, of glory on the field, in the skill of your gene rals, and in the bravery of your officers and men, you are not behind any nation in the world. (Cheers.) And the fame of the leader in the war to which I allude is as well known and as much cherished by us as he is by you. The name of Napier will be received as a " household word" in the United States, as it has already become a " household word" in England. (Applause.) It was a war conducted successfully, eminently successful; but by the observance at the same time of all the obligations of an enlightened humanity, the Gene- ral ravaging nothing that he could save, desolating nothing that he could protect, but, on the contrary, paying for everything as he wanted it, and treating with the clemency which humanity dictated all who fell into his power, and at the same time, and by these means, raising to a higher pitch, if that be possible, the reputation of England for the huma nity of her soldiers. (Cheers.) After a very graceful compliment to the ladies, cheers were given for the United States, Mr. John son, and Mrs. Johnson, who was not present. TO TIIE DIGGINGS.—The Natal Mercury adver tises a " waggon train to the Victoria goldfields," to start iron , Durban as soon as there is sufficient grass for the cattle, probably about the 28th of September. Tho charge for each passenger "right through" is £3O, which includes provisions. Each passenger is to bo allowed luggage not exceeen g 100 lb., ' exclusive of his g un and 51b of powder.' Arrangements aro made for accommodating 100 men, to be divided into messes of 10 each, and as soon as 50 have taken places the contractor will engage a medical man to join the party. It is supposed that this train will be the first party from Natal to reach the diggings. L A DVERTISEMENT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Colds, Coughs, Shortness of Breath.—These corrective remedies are infallible for these pectoral complaints,which, neglected, often end in asthma, bronchitis, or consump tion. The ointment well rubbed on the chest and back, penetrating the skin, is carried directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood in the body constantly passes through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to prcduco disease can be quickly, tho roughly, and permanently neutralised, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. in influenza and all chest complaints early curative measures aro imperiously de manded—one day's delay may cause a protracted illness, one week's neglect may consign the diseased to destruc tion.

ItEVERDY JOHNSON IN LEEDS. Yesterday the lion. Reverdy Johnson, the new Minister for the United States' Government, who has recently arrived in this country, visited the metropolis of the West Riding. He had been stay ing with Lord Houghton, at Fryston-hall, and Lord and Lady Houghton, Sir A. Monck, and other distinguished persons, accompanied his Ex cellency from Fryston-hall to Leeds. They reached that town about one o'clock, and were met at the Wellington Station by Sir Andrew and Lady Fair bairn (the Mayor and Mayoress.) Twenty-two gentlemen of the Council of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce were also present to welcome the illus trious American. The Mayor conveyed him in his carriage to the Town-hall, where the Town Council were assembled. Having been introduced to the corporate body and cordially welcomed by them, the Mayor presented the following address : "To Ills EXCELLENCY THE HON. REVERDY JOHNSON, ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER PLENIPOTEN- TIARY FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMES'S. "May it please your Excellency,—We, the Mayor, Al dermen, and burgesses of the borough of Leeds, in the county of York, desire to present to you our sincere and hearty congratulations on your arrival in this country as the represe'utative of a nation so closely allied to us as the United States, to bid you welcome to this ancient borough. " We, along with the rest of the nation, heard of your appointment as successor to Mr. Adams with the greatest satisfaction, because we believe it will tend greatly to strengthen the bonds of peace and goodwill which ought always to exist between this country and yours. We hope that the results of your mission here may be such as will be productive of happiness to yourself, satisfaction to the great empire you represent, and promote the national pros_ perity of the two kindred races of the United States and Great Britain." His EXCELLENCY replied as follows :—Mr. Mayor road. n~~ ~i' ~-'O% ~~nc~ -11 f.VrC I RTOM I STEIrTORMCI IRISH CRURCH.I At a meeting held at Midsomer Norton, for the promo., tion of the return of Colonel Pinner and Captain Ilayter for East Somerset, the chair was taken by the Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue. After describing the position of the Church, the right hon. gentleman went on to notice the objections which had been made against its disesta. blishment. The two principal reasons (he said), or, rather the two principal cries, which were used against them he might describe as the " No-Popery" cry and the " Church in danger" cry. As to the " No-Popery" cry., he wanted to know what it meant. If it meant that we ourselves were devoted to the principles of the Reformation, and would maintain those principles for ourselves by all due and proper means, then he bad not a word to say against the cry, and he would join in it himself. But it meant no such a thing, in the mouth of our political opponents. (gear hear.) If it meant, again, that we were determined to maintain our just rights of every kind, and the just rights of our Protes• tent fellow-countrymen in Ireland, he was ready to join in maintaining those just rights against any quarter, whether Papal or otherwise. But he did not mean that, and it was difficult to see any rational way of interpreting the meaning of it. It, however, meant that we must not do justice to our fellow-countryme n in Ireland because they were Roman Catholics. It meant nothing but a blind and unreasoning prejudice, closing men's eyes to the truth, and preventing them from seeing the facts of the case as they really were, and faithfully discharging their duty. Ai l to their cry of " Church in danger," he was inclined to take exception to it, and he made a protest against the cry. from the very first. He ventured to say in their presence that, whether the Church was in danger or not, they had no right to defend it by such means. He said they had no right in the fancied interests of their Establish ment to impose upon what was in fact another country an Establishment which they repudiate& The question was not whether we were to have an Esta- blishment here ; that question did not arise at all. The, question was whether there was to be an Establishment in a separate though a sister nation, viz., Ireland—an Esta blishment which was maintained there contrary to the wishes and feelings of the great majority of its people. He wished every voter to remember, when he:came to give : his vote on this great question, that the question for him to decide was not whether he would have an established religion in his own country, but whether he should' impose an Establishment on another country contrary to the wishes and feelings of the people. Let every voter,, every one who heard him that night, every one whom his words could reach—he did not care how ardent a friend, and adherent of the Established Church he might be—let: him weigh the matter in this way, and do to Ireland "as, he would be done by," and if there were danger to the Established Church here in this controversy, the friends of the Church might be assured that that danger would be seriously increased by prolonging a controversy like the present, by refusing to do justice to the people of Ireland, and by throwing upon the English Church the responsi• bility of an Establishment which was totally different from her own, and whatever danger there might be would be best removed by a just and complete settlement of the Irish question. A HINT FOR ENGLISH FARMERS. The opinion is vei y prevalent (the Daily News observes) that it is advantageous to reap corn before it is completely ripe, or at least that no loss is likely to accrue from early reaping. Those who advocate this course point out that the fully ripened grain is easily shaken out of the ear, and thus a certain loss is experienced. This does not happen when the grain is still soft, when also it is in a milky state, yellow, larger, and heavier. It is argued, further, that when the corn is reaped early the straw is better fitted for the use of cattle. M. Isidore Pierre, professor of chemistry at, Caen, and well known for his important botanical and agricultural researches, has subjected the question of early reaping to a very simple and satisfactory test, with the result of shewing that the farmer commits a great mistake who reaps his corn before it has reached maturity. From the same field he cut a certain quantity of ears of corn on the 6th, 11th, 15th, 20th, and 25th of July in the present year, extending his operations on each occasion over an equal space of ground. On the Gth the corn was rapidly increasing, on the 25th it was perfectly ripe, and was, in fact, being reaped in the usual course. M. Pierre carefully dried the corn he had thus collected, and then compared the several lots by weight. The result was remarkable. The weight of the corn reaped on the Gth was little more than half that of the corn reaped on the 25th, the exact proportion being 15 to 27. The corn reaped on the other days exhibited a progressive increase of weight as the date of reaping was later and later. M. Isidore Pierre calculates from the results of his experiment that during the three weeks preceding the arrival of the corn at a state of perfect maturity, the crop experiences a daily increase of one hectolitre per hectare, the weight of a hectolitre being one kilogramme. Hence, for every day by which the date of reaping precedes the date at which the corn arrives at perfect maturity, the farmer suffers a loss of about twenty francs per hectare. Since a hectare contains about two acres and a half (more exactly 2.471 acres), it follows from M. Pierre's calculations that the loss for every day corn is reaped earlier than the full period of maturity is nearly 7s. per acre. But this is not the only disadvantage which results from early reaping. During the last few days before the corn reaches a state of perfect maturity, important chemical changes are taking place in the state of the grain. These changes are of such a character as to render the corn day by day better fitted for our use. Grain which has not become perfectly ripe is deficient in nitrogenous substance and phosphoric acid, and less able, therefore, to serve as a heat-supplier and flesh-former. Attention is also drawn to certain important conclusions respecting the cultivation of wheat experimentally esta blished by Professor Church. He found that an average increase of about thirteen shillings per acre in the return may be obtained by submitting the seed-wheat to a process of selection, founded on the following observed facts :—First, seed-wheat of the highest specifio gravity produces seed-wheat of similar quality; secondly, seed-wheat of the highest specific gravity yields the largest amount of dressed corn ; thirdly, seed-wheat of medium specific gravity generally gives the largest number of ears, but the ears are poorer than those from seed-wheat of higher specific gravity ; fourthly, seed-wheat of medium specific gravity generally produces the largest number of fruiting plants ; and, fifthly, seed-wheat of a less specific gravity than 1.247 (the specific gravity of water being 1) are of very little value, yielding on an average only 34.41 b. of dressed corn for every 1001 b. yielded by seed of the highest specific gravity. Professor Church pointed out that a very high standard of specific gravity is not required to secure the extra return ; the exclusion of about 20 per cent. of the seed-wheat would in general be sufficient for the purpose, nor would the process of selec- tion be difficult or expensive. Professor Church also pointed out that "an acclimatised seed-wheat yields a heavier crop than wheat grown under different conditions of climate and soil." SEVENTY-SEVEN SHEEP KILLED BY LIGHT• NING.—On Sunday night last a terrific thunderstorm passed over the centre of Wiltshire, and on Cheverell 77 sheep, the property of Mr. Robert Hooper, were killed and three sheep were wounded. FIRE AT A SHEFFIELD MUSIC HALL. - -On Monday evening part of the scenery at the Pavilion Music Hall, Sheffield, caught fire during the performances. A panic at once ensued among the audience, and a rush was made for the entrance. Fortunately nobody was injured, and the fire was extinguished after causing only slight damage. - On Tuesday morning Mr. Slater, of the firm of Slater Brunt, and Co., Borussia Steel Works, Shoreham-street, was shot by his partner, Mr. Brunt, in the office, where a dispute would seem to have arisen between them. Mr. Brunt fired a pistol loaded with shot at Mr. Slater, at three or four yards' distance. The pistol was aimed obliquely, or the effect must have been fatal. As it was, most of the shots entered the wall behind Mr. Slater, but he was badly wounded. Immediately after firing Mr. Brunt gave himself up to the police. For soma time past he has been suffering from cerebral and nervous excitement aris ing from over-application to business. A short time ago he made an attempt on his life; up to this time he was a preacher among the Methodists. lie is stated to be a man of very temperate habits—indeed a teetotaller. THE,QUEEN'S VISIT TO SWITZERLAND. —a n inha bitant of Switzerland writes to the Salut Public of Lyons in these words :—" An article appeared some days past in several Paris journals mentioning that Queen Victoria felt much annoyed during her stay at Lucerne, it , consequence of the uproar caused near her Majesty's villa by persons playing at skittles, and this, too, on a Sunday. The paragraph added that the Queen's request to put a stop to the noise was not attended to. All this account is completely erroneous. I wrote to Lucerne to make inquiries on the subject, and have just lea,rne from a sure source, namely, M. Pfifler, proprietor of the villa in which her Majesty remained, that every regar due to her rank was shewn, and that on the Sundays especially great tranquillity reigned in the neighbourhool of the royal residence, not broken by the sounds of any game whatever. This declaration of my correspondent has been confirmed by a countryman who was at Lucerne during the Queen's sojourn. •As a native of Switzerland 4 cannot permit such 44 moneoue imput4;92u to incumb on my cp.nntry.."_.;
