An interesting affair took place on Saturday, when a complimentary dinner was given. to Sir JOHN YouNG, late Governor of New South Wales, by the colonists now residing in London. A bril- TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN WILE LATE EDITION of "TIE SUN " at Q W. SMITII'S, "Camden Stores," 78, Park-street, Camden liant company assembled at WILLIS'S Rooms, and Mr. WENTWORTH presided. The President alluded to the deep regret' which had been experienced through the whole of Australia at the attempt made on the life of the Duke of EDINBURGH, and, in pro posing the health of ,Sir J. YOUNG, entered into some details respecting the history of the colony, from the time when the Governor's power was an arbitrary one until now, when the colony is governed by its assembly and the Coun cil that the Crown nominates. After pur suing the theme of elections, &c., he came to the point immediately before them, and dwelt on the success which had attended his efforts in that distant part. He was able to keep an even hand between all parties in the colony, and they equally respected and esteemed him. During the time when he was Governor of the Colony it was especially noticed that Sir J. YOUNG maintained strict impartiality, and it was even matter of sur prise that he should have been so popular. In re turning thanks for the honour done him, Sir. J. YOUNG made an interesting speech. He said that he had been fortunate in some respects during his period of government in New South Wales. The two Prime Ministers who were in power had been in every respect fit for their duties, and he had also met with great support and assistance from all classes of society so soon as they had found out that he was no " partisan." Other governors and persons placed in influential positions might take to heart the opinions here delivered and profit by them when an exigency arrives. Some amusement was created by the observations of the right hon. gentleman as to the style of the questions put to him respecting Australia. They left on his mind the impression that Abyssinia was better known in England than Australia. It is interesting to notice the remarks of one so eminently well quali fied to judge of the matters relating to the colony be has quitted. The time for making rapid fortunes has gone by, but things have settled down, and there is every opening afforded to steady industry. It is interesting to find that " England is regarded with affection by the colonists, who always speak of it as home.' " As a general rule the inhabitants of the colony pay far more regard to business mat ters than to political ones. Sir J. YOUNG thinks that there is great hope for the future well-being of the colony. The rising generation are of the most temperate habits, and drunkenness is nearly unheard of among the, native Australians, which is of itself a most encouraging sign of progress and prosperity. " The bast hopes may be entertained for the future of such a people," said their late Governor, and the assurance is a most gratifying one in all respects. A sure indication of the friendly sentiments which the colonists enter tain towards the mother-country is afforded by the fact that at the time of the Lancashire distress the colony sent twenty thousand pounds to the Relief Fund ; and they also sent many thousands to assist those who suffered by a flood in the colony. On the whole, then, we may conclude that the estimate of Sir J. YOUNG is a most favourable one, and that he sees good grounds for believing the best in re spect to the welfare and progress of this important settlement. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM made some observatiions upon the House of Lords, and ex pressed his gratification that that branch of the Legislattire received the appreciation of the colonists. The Duke then complimented Sir J. YOUNG on the great success be had met -with, and the triumphant Government" he had carried on for six years in one of our most important Aus tralian colonies. Mr. ADDERLEY responded on behalf of the Commons, and likewise gave his testimony to the merits of the guest of the evening. It is worthy of notice that Sir J. YOUNG has been relieved, at his •own request, of the duties of the Governorship of the colony, and has completed his term of service. The Chairman mentioned the interesting fact that seven years ago he presided at a meeting when their distinguished guest was about to depart for the Government of the colony where he has met with so much suc cess and acquired such well-deserved popularity. The King of PRUSSIA and the CROWN-PRINCE, with some others, arrived at Worms on the 24th, for the purpose of inaugurating the LUTHER monu ment. The occasion was quite a festive one, and the streets were decorated with flags and flowers. The KING was well received, and great crowds assembled. The interest of the affair was enhanced by a message from Queen VICTORIA, in which her MAJESTY expressed her hearty congratulations to the committee for the erection of the LUTHER memorial upon the "successful completion"of their task, and added that England sympathised with the occasion which united the Protestant friends and peoples of Germany. The whole ceremony was an interest ing one, and contrasted favourably with some in which the King of PRUSSIA has borne a part of late, when it has been too evident that there was no spontaneous desire on the part of the people to join in the undertakings. News from Paris contradicts the report that had been circulated, to the effect that complaints had been made by the Prussian Government with respect to the conduct of the Hanovarian refugees on French territory. This is as well, for it is quite evident that the Berlin Government were making themselves more and more unpopular by the course they had taken with respect to the unfortunate Hanoverians, and the sooner they changed their tactics the better for all concerned, and for their own reputation as well, for it could not fail to suffer by the opposition the late tyrannous measures had attached to it. On Saturday afternoon a very interesting cere monial took place in St. Pancras. It was the day selected for the inauguration of the metropolita n memorial to RICHARD COBDEN, and the throngs who assembled round the statue long before the hour fixed upon proved how warm an interest was felt on the occasion. England has sometimes been accused of being tardy and niggardly in her recog nition of great public services, and there is some grounds for the accusation. It can hardly be said, however, that Mr. COBDEN'S services failed to meet with duo recognition, since in his lifetime he enjoyed a degree of influence and consideration not olten accorded to unofficial men. The position which he held was not indeed confined to this country, for abroad the name of COBDEN was known and honoured; and more especially in France and America it was as familiar as those of the native statesmen. If he died as he lived plain RICHARD COBDEN, M.P., it was from his own choice. It was no secret that more than one Prime Minister had sought his assistance in the Cabinet, while the sturdy Commoner resolutely de clined a title which he justly felt could yield him no additional honour. Since his death his reputa tion and his opinions have gained iu weight and in consideration rather than diminished, and his name is still dear to the people, althoug4 they arc not yet fully prepared to understand or to ac cept his more advanced theories. The statue unveiled on Saturday last stands on a commanding site, and occupies, not unsuitably, the pcsition for many years filled by one of the last of the metropolitan turnpikes. It is said that the coincidence of its removal with Mr, Copal's lamented death suggested the idea of erecting in its place a memorial of the statesman whose life-long endeavour it was to remove the barriers which restricted the food of the people, as well as those which fettered international commu nication and commercial progress. The statue, which is nine feet high, is carved in Sicilian marble. The likeness is good, and Mrs. COBDEN, who, with her daughters, was present at the interesting ceremo nial of Saturday, expressed her gratification at its fidelity. As is often the case with the most praise worthy and appropriate efforts, the projectors of the movement had great difficulties to contend against in carrying out their design. Many persons objected to what , they termed a local movement, and thought that a more national recognition of Mr. COBDEN'S services would shortly be undertaken. However, as the vestry of St. Pancras cheerfully granted the site, it was decided to continue the effort ; and one event has proved that the decision was a wise oue, since no similar undertaking has as yet been set on foot in the metropolis. A 3 we have said, there were throngs of eager spectators, and the metn ha's for the borough ant other gentle men delivered appropriate addresses. London could afford a f.nv more such memorials of her most distinguished citizens, and certainly it would have been a standing reproach if many years bad been allowed to pass on without a substantial token of the public regard and veneration for RICHARD COBDEN. The House of Lords have come to the rescue of railway travellers by the Southern lines, and the alarming monopoly with which we were threat ened has not come to pass. Their work, however, is not yet done, and we must hope that they will again refuse to sanction a contemplated extortion which concerns Londoners very nearly. The Brighton Railway Company, it seems, are to in crease their fares at an average of 33 per cent. The company in the days when they were threatened with independent competition voluntarily reduced their fares over the main line. This they could very well afford to do, since the Brighton line bas always been a remunerative one, and there is no fear but that it will continue so. Brighton offers too great facilities to the hurried Londoner wishing for a sea-side trip, to say nothing of its particular attractions, and the tide of fashion, ever to go out of favour ; and had it not been for the extravagance of the company in other directions the shareholders would have been receiving good dividends long since. Parliament has granted powers for a second line, which the committee have agreed should be abandoned. But the committee at the same time, for some unexplained reason, sanctioned an increase in the fares, so that, as we have said, they will be raised on an average 33 per cent ! This is really a great oppression on the part of the company, and the Lords, we must hope, will re fuse to allow the bill to be read a third time. There is no reason that the public should pay the penalty of wilful and reckless extravagance, and, unless Parliament will be a little more vigi lant, or the companies a little more moderate, it will be necessary to consider whether we bad not better imitate the Continental system, and make our railways national property, with charges on a fixed scale. With regard to the interests of the company itself the policy now adopted is most shortsighted and foolish. The result will be that the number of excursionists will be very much lessened, at least in that quarter, and that persons wishing for a day or two's holiday will look out for some line whose fares shall be less exorbitant. The Brighton Railway, we are sorry to find, is endea vouring to take advantage of the public wants, and there can be no reason why one particular line should be allowed to make ac increased a- d exorbitant charge. Let us hope the Lords will do good service by rejecting the bill on the third reading, and other bills of a similar character. LATEST INTELL MENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CHINA. SHANGHAI, June 8.

Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., had a field-day and sham fight. A.t half-past 10 o'clock the three infantry brigades formed up under cover of the hills, near the Queen's Pavilion. The Ist brigade was on the right, the 2d brigade in the centre, and the 3d brigade on the left, near the Farnham road. The sth Dragoon Guards were placed between the 2d and 3d brigades. The remainder of the cavalry and artillery were under cover in the barrack square, except a battery which was posted on the hill in rear of the Ist brigade. These dispositions were made with the object of attacking an enemy re presented by D Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, under Colonel Laffan, commanding the Royal En gineers, in a strong position on Ca33ar's-hill. About 11 o'clock General Scarlett, accompanied by his Staff, inspected the position, and shortly afterwards the artillery of the enemy opened a heavy fire on the advancing force. It was quickly responded to by the battery of artillery in position near the Queen's Pavilion. A fierce discharge was carried on for about ten minutes, after which the three irigades, covered by a strong line of skir mishers, advanced steadily towards the point of attack. Meanwhile, the cavalry and horse artillery were proceeding along the Farnham-wood, together with some regiments of infantry, and debouching upon Hungry-hill, they took the enemy in flank, pouring in a heavy fire. After the skirmishers of the division arrived at the base of Cm 3ar's-hill they were recalled, and relays of fresh skirmishers charged up the steep face of Cte3ar's-hill. Colonel Laffan, perceiving his position nearly surrounded, retired, his retreat being nearly cut off by the cavalry and horse artillery, which bad emerged upon the plain by way of Lawdy-house. The second battalion 6th and the 54th Regiments scaled the bill, and on gaining the crest reformed and fired upon the retreating enemy, who retired to Heath-house, whence he re opened a spirited fire. The cavalry having made several demonstrations, the infantry formed a line facing south, fired some volleys by companies, and then took up an independent fire, which compelled the enemy to surrender. The troops then marched past Bricksbury Plain, the Horse Artillery and cavalry by wings, the field batteries in open column of batteries at a walk, and the infantry iu grand divisions in quick time. After the march past the troops returned to quarters, which were reached shortly before two o'clock, COI , ..II.I=O.I.IDENCE FROM PARISI ,FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ?ARIS, SUNDAY, June 28r The're is a revival to-clay of the old disquietude, and war, which seemed to have been indefinitely adjourned a few days ago, is once more talked about. The pessimists point to various circumstances which, they contend, indicate that hostilities are probable. There is the affair of the Hanoverian Legion, concerning which the semi-official journals are at issue, some declar ing that the Prussian Government has made no representations to 'our own, some assuming that it has. Then the retreat of Bismarck, and the taking of his place by military men like Moltke and Boon, is looked upon as dangerously tending towards war. In Austria, too, the war party are raising their heads and trying to get rid of Baron von Beust. Then, again, the Garibaldian enlistments in Italy spew that in that country war is considered immi nent. Coming home, we have repeated rumours of Ministerial changes, the result of which would he the downfall of Rouher, who is earnestly in favour of peace. It is further said that the reason why the Emperor does not order the elections to take place is, that he sees the necessity of issuing a peace manifesto before he appeals to the consti tuencies, and this he cannot issue at present. No doubt men who have already made up their minds that a certain event is to happen will see in every circum stance a confirmation of their theory. Still there is no doubt, I think, that even among the public generally, as well as the pessimists, there is a good deal of uneasiness just now. Clearly, the Corps Ugislatif has little faith in the main tenance of peace. An attempt made by Ernest Picard and Jules Favre to reduce the contin gent of the army for this year from 100,000 to 80,000 men, met with hardly any support ; it had only 23 votes against the 184 which were given to the Government proposal. To-morrow the discussion upon the Budget begins. M. Magnin is the first member of the Opposition who will speak. M. Thiers, it is sup posed, will not speak until after M. Rouher has made his speech. There will be abundant opportunity for criticism. PQr instance, the report of the commissioner, M. Busson-Billaut, shews how very unfavourably the large military expenditure) of the Government was received by the Budget Commission. Finding it impos sible to get the Budget reduced, M. Billaut attempts to remove an unfavourable impression by declaring that France has no reason to expect any interruption of peace, and that the present heavy expenditure is caused by a revolution in the art of war since the battles of this time two years. Unfortunately, he goes on to add : " Science is far from being immoveable, and it may be presumed that time will bring other changes, and new methods of acquiring perfection." In other words, the present heavy expenditure is likely not only to be maintained but increased. Truly a pleasant prospect. The question of the elections has malgrg the official journals been much discussed in the Council. One batch of prefects has already arrived in Paris, and a second and third are expected forthwith. The Empress is said to have made quite a long speech against the system of official candidates. The Emperor left Chalons to-day, and returned to Fontainebleau rid Rheims. He reviewed the troops in the morning. They were drawn up in a large square facing the Imperial quarters. At eight o'clock he mounted, and, accompanied by Marshal Niel, Generals Fleury and Douay, and other distinguished officers, he rode in front of the troops, who received him with accla mation. He then placed himself in the centre of the square, surrounded by the flags and the bands, and distributed a large number of medals and decorations. The marching past followed, and then, by a sudden movement, all the troops concentrated at one point. The camp will be raised on Wednesday, and a fortnight afterwards a second series of camp instruction will commence, under General Lebceuf, and will last till September 15. According to the Opinion Nationale, the Emperor was taken ill on Thursday, after the grand manceuvre, and was not able to meet his guests at dinner. But he has since cut right again. Paris is becoming quite a royal residence just now. The Queen of Portugal is here igcognito, en route from one of the German watering-places. The Queen of the Comores Islands, Africa, has ordered a suite of rooms to be taken at the Louvre Hotel, and will be here about July 10. The Viceroy of Egypt embarks at Constantinople to-morrow for Marseilles, and will take Paris on his way to Ems. A letter from Belgrade says that Prince Michael was warned by an anonymous letter that there was a plot against his life, and that he took no notice of the warning, believing that as he had done no harm to any one, no 'ne would do harm to him. An arrangement is said to have been made between the Italian Government and our own respecting the Pontifical debt, and the first is said to have handed over a considerable sum towards the discharge of her debt. The great French dictionary is making slow progress. A. new portion has just been issued, which will bring the work down to the letter V. As we have no "w" this magnum, opus must be close upon completion. THE WEATHER TABLE,-THIS DAY. NG, JUNE 29, 1868. LITLIIATUBE. .0.- .-----.-- The London Quarterly Review. No. LIX. Eliot Stock, Paternoster-row. India and Indian affairs occupy a prominent place in this number, engrossing no less than three articles. We have first, " A Native Ministry in India," referring to the opening which presents it self of educating Hindoos as Christian missionaries. This had already been done with great success in some instances, and it is easy to believe that such native teachers, if duly qualified, could powerfully influence their fellow-countrymen. Further on we come to an essay on " Kaye's Indian Officers," which, we need scarcely add, supplies a most inte resting subject. The lives of our Anglo-Indian worthies form one of the brightest pages of British biographical history. They are replete with inci dent, with adventure, with heroic dying, and des perate achievements, and, better still, they are often characterised by a high principle and patriotic spirit, which are rarely found in any race or nation. The other article on India, if less inte resting in its nature, is full of importance. The Indian Civil Service and its examinations is a mat ter of considerable consequence, both as affecting the career of the young men who arc preparing for competition, and as influencing those to whom is hereafter to be entrusted so much of the welfare of the subject populations. " Philosophy and Theo logy" is a thoughtful article, in which the writer fearlessly treads the difficult and dangerous path of metaphysics. One of the most attractive articles in the number for the general reader is one founded on Dean Stanley's "Memorials of Westminster Abbey." Those who have not been fortunate enough to have the book in their hands will be able from the notice and the quotations before us to form a good idea of its scope and character. Altogether the number before us is a good one. The North British Review. No. XCVI. Edinon- ston and Douglas. A Liberal Education is the first subject that meets us in the current number of the North British Review, and the question of how best it is to be bestowed in our public schools and universities is carefully considered. The writer takes a very fair and temperate view of the controversy of science versus classics in education, and shows very ably and convincingly that there is really no antagonism whatever, but that a better and more judicious rearrangement of the programme of study would leave ample space for the pursuit of scien tific knowledge, and the careful study of the great masters of ancient prose and verse. " The Memoirs of Baron Bunsen" form the subject of an interesting article. The life of so remarkable and gifted a man could hardly fail to leave a sensible trace on the history of his time and of his associates, and his memoirs only serve to show him to the world at large in a still higher light than formerly illumined his reputation. The story of a very different life, belonging not only to another country and another time, but to an epoch and a school of thought and habit of life wide as the poles asunder from that of the German thinker, yet shows a good and high-minded man rising superior to all surrounding trials. " St. Louis and the Cru sades sound strangely in these work-a-day hours, but the story of the capture and the surrender of Damietta, of the captivity and ransom of the high-souled Prince, whom neither danger, nor sickness, nor imprison ment could daunt, are still fresh and enthralling. Those who are inclined to study the history of the art of writing in all its vagaries down to the present time will find a curious and entertaining account of its rise, progress, and origin. Some of the specimens given of our royal medieval caligraphy are not a little singular. The Greek Idyllic poets, Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus are discoursed upon at length. A poet of another order—a sweet Pro vencal sieger—supplies a pleasant piper. " Mis tral's Mireio" deserves to be better known, as the extracts before us prove. The number before us is calculated to give much pleasure to the thoughtful and cultivated reader. The Quarterly Revi,w. No. 248.—N0t the most brilliant by any means of its cl assis this number before us. and the first article is a most invidious one. Its purport is to criticise Lord Macaulay, and show how mistaken are those who swear by him, and rest on the infallibility of his judgment. We cannot say if the writer's object has been attained by the philippics he here hurls at all great essayists and historians, but if the aim and object be to detract from his popularity it is not likely to be a successful one. It is true that it is said with emphasis that his " exam' le is deprecated and his authority disclaimed," together with an expression of " unfeigned admiration of his genius;" but that will not go far with many readers, and throughout these pages there is too evident a a desire manifested to render the dissertation palatable. Lord Macaulay was doubtless prone to exaggeration, but that is an error often met with in writers of so vivid an imagination, and at any rate there can be no occasion to make use of such harsh b language in dwelling on the writings - of one of our greatest ornaments of literature. " The Use of Refuse" is a paper that will astonish many who are not well versed in such subjects, and a great many illusions may be dispelled by the careful study of these accounts. Thus, we find it is said, "Dyes, like perfumes, are often derived from the most re pulsive sources : gas-tar gives the magenta and mauve, so fashionable of late, acid from the same source produces orange and yellow. Some of the most delicate perfumes are now manufactured without ever having bad their home in flowers; indeed, they are made by chemical artifice, " concocted, in short, from oils and ethers, many of them of a most disgusting kind, the products add refuse of other matters." It is, indeed, curious to notice some of the details here and there met with, and in looking at the statistics of " unutilised food," we find that the quantity of animal matter wasted in the Newfoundland cod fishery is 120,00 0 tons annually. It is certainly a warning to the would-be wise to ponder over these things, and to note how much may be made of extracts the ignorant despise and condemn. " The Irish Church" is the title of an article, in which Mr. Gladstone meets with no very gentle treat ment. Apart from some apparent prejudice, there is a good of satirical truth conveyed in some of the truths and inuendos thrown out. The Irish diffi culty presents itself in the form of a contest between English parties as to who shall occupy the Treasury Benches. had Mr. Gladstone been on the other side of the Speaker's chair, he would have allowed Mr. Bright the monopoly of the words " disestablishment" and " disendowment." Those who attentively consider the matter may recognise the justice of some of these strictures. In treating of " Purchase in the the Army," a good deal is said in favour of that mode, which is summed up at last in several pro positions, the meaning of which .is that to abolish the system would tend to discourage men of family from entering into the service, and lead to a system of promotion that would infallibly be slow ; but it seems to be overlooked that, according to the pre - sent arrangement, merit is continually put on one side, and wealth may step in to the disparagemen of real worth not so fortunately endowed with the privilege. " The New School of Radicals" is an article that is written with spirit, the particular subject of which it treats affords an opportunity to the writer to dilate upon the glaring evils of the present day, an i the most is made of the opportunity thus presented of throwing a great deal of blame on certain party leaders," who are not nominally Radicals, but who have confused things by their tergiversation and extraordinary freaks in politics. " University Re form" treats of Oxford and Cambridge, which sacred abodes of learning have been so uncere moniously interfered with by politicians of all sects and creeds. A fine defence is here made for these two renowend seats of learning, and an eloquent passage appears in conclusion, in which the delights of a College life are told in a forcible style. " Surely the statesman cannot afford to ignore the thousand influences which gather round such insti tutions, so wholesome, so useful to the nation at large." The paper on " Robert South" is well worthy of attention, and Lord Romilly's Irish Publications contains some curious Specimens, # which will repay perusal. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

At stations in the E. and S. there was a diminution yesterday, but this has been succeeded by an increase to-day on our coasts. In the South of Franco readings have decreased stealily, and that at Toulon is more than 0.6 inches below that at Valencia. Temperature, after increasing in the south yesterday, has again diminished. The most prevalent winds during yesterday were from the northward ; but this morning they have drawn more easterly on our eastern and Channel coasts. Their force is moderate. Fine, but somewhat cloudy weather has been and is still prevalent. s:rt The celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of General Hoche has come off at Versailles, and, n the estimation of the Times correspondent, " has been all but a failure." It is quite true that hero-worship, espe cially when manifested in the form of centenary and ter-, centenary festivals, is on the wane both in France and elsewhere, but another reason may perhaps be assigned for the indifferent honours paid to the Republican general. General Hoche was the soldier who finally ruined the cause of the Vendean Royalists and put to death the brave Charette. Too lively allusions to such topics are unseasonable at present in France, and are not likely to be greatly relished either by the Government or the public. It will be remembered that General Hoche was a great supporter of the Republic —a fact unpleasant to Impe rialism ; but be was also a supporter of the Republicanism which led to despotic rule—no agreeable reflection to the French at present. Republican reminiscences are mal apropos just now in France. La Liberte is unable to comment on the debate in the House of Lords, and raises a complaint which is beginning to make itself heard pretty loudly. " The extraordinary length of these debates," it says, " which occupy nearly all the columns of the Times, and the mere perusal of which would occupy four or five hours, renders it impos sible to take any notice to-day of this first and all-important sitting." The same paper comments at length on the unveiling of the Cobden statue, making that event an occasion of eulogium on one of its favourite heroes. The King of Prussia has informed the King of Wiirtem berg that he intends to follow strictly the military con vention made between the two sovereigns in 1866. This is the convention with which Bismarck astonished Europe and enraged France, after M. Rouher's famous speech in which he declared that since the battle of Koniggratz Germany was divided into three branches, and was therefore weaker than before. Since then there has been a strong anti- Prussian feeling developed in Wiirtemberg, and King Charles no doubt hoped that he might get rid of the obli gation by which his army is to a certain extent placed at the disposal of Prussia. It would seem that Bismarck has speedily undeceived him. This move is considered another victory of Prussian diplomacy, similar to that by which the Prime Minister of Hesse Darmstadt, a bitter maratiot i. has been d_iepiwcl. THE PAYMENT OF RATES. The select committee on the assessment and collection of rates have just made their report. They embody their conclusions in a series of twenty-six resolutions, the first six of which indicate the machinery by which local rates shall be made. The seventh recommends that where the rate exceeds is. in the pound the occupier of any tenement let at a rent payable oftener than quarterly may elect to pay by monthly instalments. The occasions on which a special rate may be made, the form of the demand note, the employment of collectors, the delivery of the schedules, and the mode of assessment, are then severally dealt with. The power of excusing persons from the payment of rates is to be transferred to boards of guardians, and here a suggestion of some importance is made. It is that the owner shall be liable to pay two-thirds of the rate when the occupier has been excused on the ground of poverty. This, of course, disfranchises the tenant so excused. Mr. Ayrton moved a resolution setting forth the necessity of amending last year's Reform Act, so that no inconvenience •might arise from the proposed changes. This, however, was rejected, the. Conservative members of the committee ing in a majority. Another motion of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets was equally unfortunate, and through the same cause. It was to the effect that the owner should be rated as well as the occupier, where the tenement was let for less than a quarter, and that if the rates were compounded for the tenant should be entitled to vote. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SALFORD. —A meeting of the Liberals has been held, when it was determined to unite in favour of Mr. Clieetham the present member, and Mr. Rawson. OLDHAM. —The two sitting members, Messrs. Hibbert (L.) and Platt (L.), will he opposed by the two defeated candidates at the last election—Messrs. Cobbett and Spinks. It is difficult to describe the politics of these Gentlemen. EAST DERBYSHIRE.—It is expected that Mr. Jackson *(L.) and Captain Egerton (L.), son-in-law of the Duke of Devonshire, will come forward. The Conservatives are reported to have chosen Mr. Turbutt and Mr. Pegge Burnell. NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.—Mr. Fitzpatrick Vernon will once more contest this division in the Liberal interest, LIVERPOOL.—An enthusiastic meetitg of the Liberal party was held on Friday night, when it was resolved to support Messrs. Rathbone, and Mr.ssey as candidates foz the borough. PRESTON.—Lord Edward Howard (L.), who will have to give up Arundel at the next election, has accepted an invitation to contest Preston. The sitting members arc Conservatives. SOUTH NOTTS.—In the event of Mr. Barrow retiring from the representation of this division, the Conservatives, it is stated, intend bringing forward Mr. John Chaworth _Musters, of Annesley Park, as a candidate. It is pre. sumed that Mr. Hildyard, the junior member, will again offer himself. EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.—A local paper says that Mr. Laslett has emphatically pledged himself to come forward again for the Eastern Division at the next election. The Yoame paper states that Mr. R. P. Amphlett, Q.C., will ;also contest the Eastern Division in the Conservative in terest ; and says it is rumoured that Mr. Lyttelton will not offer himself again. The last statement has been em phatically denied. SANDWICH.—Mr. Knatchbull-Ilugessen is about to retire from the representation of Sa,nciwich ; Mr. T. Brassey, jun., who has been an unsuccessful candidate on previous occasions for Birkenhead and Devonport, comes forward as his successor in the Liberal interest. NORTTIAMPTON.—Mr. Charles l3radlaugh (" Iconoclast") has issued an address to the electors. IRELAND.—An address to the electors of Ireland, pre pared by the National Association of Dublin, speaks of the issue to be tried at the coming elections as " the main• tenance of the abolition of .a State Establishment inde libly stained with the blood of your martyred fathers, anp which has no parallel in history for hideous injustice." MERTHYR TYDVIL.—The Cambria Daily Leader states that there has been an idle rumour current for some time to the effect that Mr. Bruce would retire from the borough of Merthyr, and contest the county at the ensuing election. Mr. Bruce has denied the truth of this, and stated that he has no intention of retiring from his present represents• tion. Nearly 80,000 persons have visited the Exhibition at Lee4s, opened some time back by the Prince of Wales. Mr. Bright, on his approaching visit to Ireland, will, it is said, be entertained along with Mr. Peabody at a complimentary breakfast by the citizens of Liverpool. The Davenport Brothers, now at Birmingham, have been very unsuccessful, the "lanes and highways" having to be scoured for persons who will not object to " orders" for admission. A meeting of Conservative Churchmen opposed to the policy of Mr. Cau!stone end Dr. Pusey will be held on Wednesday next to devise means to support her Majesty's Gove , nment at the forthcoming elections. The chair will be taken by the ion. and Very Rev. the Dean cf York. Advices from Huddersfield state that Houston, the anti-Ttomanist lecturer, has been assailed with stones near the railway station in that town, and that his arm was hurt, but not seriously. A young man, named Crompton, was cut with a stone under the ear. Great confusion prevailed, but the stall 'n doors were locked, and Houston escaped thron' the parcel office. In a case which has been under investigation by the Derby marfistrates, a medical student, named Fernando, was chargel with bigamy. The &tenet) is that the first marlin:re .wps baying been. performed by a Roman Cethrl•c ritspt, an l ,me of the parties, within twolvdmontbs, profesqed to be a Protestant. The prisoner stands committed for !rid. • Th..'/and/ester Examiner stated some days back that the Leominster magistrates had fined four boys for play ing cricket on Sunday. It now app ,, ars, however, that this was stating the case too broadly. The boys were fined not for playing cricket on the Sunday, but for trespassing on the field in which they wore playing, and for injuring the grass. The excavations which arc being carried on at Pompeii have brought f o light two fresco portraits situated under the portico of the Via Stabiana. It is believed they represented the master and mistress of the house.' rhe man wears a magistrate's toga ; the woman is in the attitude of a person reflecting about what she is to write ; for she has a style in her right hand, and is about to carry it to her lips, while in her left she holds writing tablets. DEPARTURE OF THE HON. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.—On Saturday the Hon. Charles Francis Adams, the late American Minister at the Court of St. James's, and suite left Liverpool in the Cunard steamer China for New York. Mr. Adams was accompanied on board by a host of friends, among whom were Mr. Moran, the present secretary of the American Legation, and who, until the arrival of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, will assume the functions of Minister. A CHURCH oN FIRE. —Early on Saturday morning the belfry in the newly-erected tower of Boyn-hill Church, Maidenhead, was discovered to be on fire. On the alarm being raised the volunteer fire brigade at once turned out, and proceeded to the spot with their engine, but unfortu nately the supply of water was very scanty. After con siderable exertion the fire was extinguished, although not before three of the eight bells had fallen, and the other five were so much damaged as to be useless. The cause the fire is unknown. DEATH OF A CONVICT piton SUNSTROKE.—A2I :request has been held at the Chatham convict establish ment, on the body of a convict named John Wright, who died from the effects of coup de soleil. The deceased was employed on the works in progress at Chatham for the enlargement of the dockyard. The heat at the time was very great, and whilst at work deceased was suddenly seen to fall to the ground as if in a fit. On examina tion he was found to be quite dead, death having re sulted from sunstroke, which produced apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict of death from coup de soleil. MR. LONGFELLOW AT SHAKSPERE'S BIRTHPLACE --Mr. Longfellow, the American poet, visited Stratford on-Avon on Wednesday last, and, with Mr. E. F. Flower, went over the principal places of interest, taking parti .lular notice of the " birthplace, the home, and the grave of the bard." Mr. Longfellow has since arrived in London, On Saturday he visited the studio of Mr. John Watkins, in Parliament-street, and gave sittings for several photo graphic negatives. Mr. llassam, Dr. Blanc, and other of the released Abyssinian. captives also sat to Mr. Watkins for portraits, which will attract unusual atten tion.

The Princess of Wa‘es drove out on Saturday, accompanied by the Crown Prince of Denmark. THE PAPAL ALLOCUTION. The following is a translation of the Papal Allo cution, delivered in the Secret Consistory held on the 22d June last : " Venerable Brethren—We should never have imagined that, after th Convention agreed to nearly thirteen years ago between Us and the Emperor and Apostolic King of Austria, to the great joy of all well-minded men, we should be obliged to lament over the miseries and serious misfortunes which, by the machinations of evil disposed men, now afflict and annoy in a deplor able manner the Catholic Church in the Empire , Of Austria. In fact, the enemies of our divine reli gion have been unceasing in their efforts to de stroy the said Convention, and to do the greatest harm to the Church, to Us, and to this Apostolic See. On the 21st of December last the Austrian Government passed an odious law, to be carried Out and strictly observed in every district of the empire, even in those districts where the Catholic religion exclusively prevails. That law establishes free liberty for all opinions—liberty of the press, of every faith, and no matter what confession or doc trine ; it grants to the members of every confession the right of establishing public schools and colleges, and members of every confession are allowed to be admitted on the same footing, with the sanction of the State. Although we felt great grief on being informed of the fact, and wished to raise our voice against it, we nevertheless gave proof of forbear ance, and we deemed it advisable then to keep silent, chiefly supported by the hope that the Aus trian Government, lending a docile ear to the just complaints of our venerable brethren (the holy prelates of Austria), would return to more whole some ideas and adopt a sounder determination. But our hopes have been frustrated. In fact, the same Government, on the 25th of May of this present year, issued another law, which extends to all the subjects, even the Catholic ones, of the empire, de ciding that sons born of a mixed marriage must , follow the religion of the father, and the daughters that of the mother. " Moreover, the same law suppresses entirely the validity of the promises which the Catholic Church, with reason and with the greatest justice, exacts and prescribes absolutely before the cele bration of mixed marriages. It makes apostacy it self a question of civil law, both as regards the Ca' tholic religion and the Christian religion generally ; it suppresses all authority of the Church over ceme teries, and Catholics are bound to allow the bodieit of heretics to be buried in their churchyard, 1 ' they have not any of their own. Moreover, the same Government, on the said 25th day of May Of this present year, did not hesitate to promulgate law on marriages which entirely cancels all the enactments agreed to in the convention already alluded to. This law restores the former Austrian laws, which are contrary to the laws of the Church; it admits and even confirms that form of marriage absolutely condemnable, called civil marriage, when the authority of any confession whatever re fuses the celebration of the marriage on grounds. which are not admitted as valid by the civl authorities. "By this law, this same Government has sup" pressed all the authority and jurisdiction of the Church on matters relative to marriage, as also all competent ecclesiastical tribunals on the subject. It bas also promulgated a law on education which suppresses all the influence of the Church over education, decreeing that the whole superior supervision of education, literature, and scienc e, as also the inspection of schools, appertains to the State; which finally decrees that the religious teaching in the public schools must be placed is the hands of members of each separate confession ; that any religious society may open private or spe cial schools for the youth of its faith ; that these schools shall also be subject to the supreme inspeo" tion of the State, and that the school books shall be submitted to the approval of the civil authori ties, with the exception, however, of such books as are meant for religious instruction—books which must be submitted to the approval of the competen t authorities of each confession. " You see, consequently, venerable brethren , how necessary it is strongly to reprove and con demn those abominable laws sanctioned by the Austrian Government--laws which are in flagrant contradiction with the doctrines of the Catholic religion, with its venerable rights, its authority and its divine institution, with our power and that of the Apostolic See, as also with our Concor dat, already quoted, and with natural right itself. In virtue, then, of the care of all Churches in trusted to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, we raise our voice in your most illustrious assembly ; reprove and we condemn, by our Apostolic autho rity, the laws which we have enumerated, end everything, general or special, in those same logs , or in matters which refer to ecclesiastical right) which has been decreed or attempted unjustly, in any manner whatsoever, by the Austrian Govern ment or its subordinates, whomsoever they may be. In virtue of the same authority which appertains to us, we declare those decrees null and powerless in themselves and in their effect, both as regards the present and the future. "As regards the author of those laws, especially those who congratulate themselves on being Catholics, and have not feared to propose, establish, approve, and carry out the above laws and Acts , we conjure and entreat them not to forget th° censures and spiritual punishments, which the ecclesiastical institutions and the decrees of the (Ecumenical Councils inflict, as having been deserved ipso facto by the violators of the rights of the Church. Meantime, we rejoice greatly in the Lord , and we give our well-deserved praise to our vener able brothers, the Archbishops and Bishops of the Austrian Empire, who with truly Episcopal energy have not ceased to warn their flocks of their duties , boldly to defend and protect by speech as well as writing the cause of the Church and the said Con' cordat concluded with Us. We also desire frolo our hearts that our venerable brothers, the Arch bishops and Bishops of Hungary, following th e example of their colleagues, will show themselves disposed to display the same zeal and the seal ardour to protect the rights of the Church, and defend the said Concordat against the attack ° which are directed against it. " Neverthless, under the calamities, which j a these sad times afflict the Church everywhere, scet do not cease, venerable brothers, with the d ee P e3 t fervour and humility of heart, to pray to God 019 ' lie may upset all the criminal designs of His eu e : o mies and the enemies of His holy Church, supP, their impious efforts, and in H t he'' back mercy lead t he back into the paths of justice and salvation."
