Mr. AYRTON met a crowded assembly yesterday for the purpose of explaining his views on various subjects, and began by declaring his preference for public over private canvass, which latter he be lieved was " fraught with a good deal of mischief, and, what was worse, political dishonesty." For the matter of that it may be said that there is as much danger in one practice as another, because men may say what they do not mean, and promise what they know they cannot perform in order to gain the point immediately in view ; still there are some advantages in public meetings over private arrangements. In order to give these a full chance, it may be premised that there should be fair-play everywhere, and the system now too much in vogue should be discontinued of causing interruption and making disturbances, whereby alt sides cannot be properly heard and understood. It is no credit to any cause that its advocates cannot and will not allow its merits to be questioned, and it lowers poli tical meetings for such disorderly conduct to prevail. Only the evening before, when Mr. COOPE endea voured to address a meeting, the proceedings were so " riotous" that he was scarcely heard. Mr. AYRTON, however, had contrived to understand enough of what his opponent said to enable him to criticise his remarks. The hon. member's observa tions about Reform were amusing and rather ori ginal, notwithstanding all that has been said on that subject. He declared that the present Govern ment had done nothing in that respect which entitled them to thanks. In fact, the Conservatives had done what they had because circumstances com pelled them to adopt such a course, " therefore they were not entitled to that credit which was given to public men who spontaneously did a great work for the benefit of the people." This is a most dis ingenuous way of putting the matter, and we wonder how Mr. AYRTON can have the face to say that the Liberal party set an example of being " spontaneous," when they spent fifteen years in quarrelling over the matter, and only united in one point, that their opponents should not do the work they were themselves manifestly unable to perform. We have not yet finished Mr. AYRTON'S luminous definition of the affair, and accordingly we hear that the Conservatives have done the work of Re form badly and imperfectly, and are not deserving of thanks. This is a very idle way of arguing, and can hardly impress many minds by its cogency— first, the Conservatives are obliged to do such a thing, and, next, when they did it they did it badly. However, if they were compelled, and they cin claim no credit, who compelled them? Why were they more bound than others whose peculiar province it more immediately seemed to be ?

He re:ninded his hearers that the " blundering policy" of Mr. GLADSTONE had caused great distress, ani that the shipping tride was in anything but a prosperous state. Besides this, many large sugar refineries were closed, telling tales of want of work and sad priva tions. The Whigs, he truly said, left the condition of the defences of the country in a very disgraceful state, but the present Government have done their best to remedy all this, and they had " given the army the breech-loader rifle, they have given the nation formidable forts, big guns, glorious iron sides, and it was to the honour of the present War office they had selected indestructible shields for the protection of our batteries and iron ships, and to the credit and honour of that borough that it had produced the Millwall shield." It may be re marked, in comparing the rival claims of the can didates, that Mr. AYRTON has done a great deal to forfeit confidence in the tactics he displayed about the Metropolitan Cattle Market Bill. Large majo ' rities of the House of Commons over and over again approved of the principle of the measure introduced, and also decided in favour of considering its merits ; but the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, with some kindred spirits, put his veto on it ; and, in spite of all possible efforts, he contrived to win the match against time. Earlier in the session such a thing would have been quite impracticable ; but, at any rate, the mode of procedure was most objec tionable, and we would recommend the constituency to consider if this is the way they approve of public questions being dealt with. The report of the Poor-Law Board for the year 1867-68 describes the measures which they have taken to bring the provisions of the Metropolitan Poor Act into operation. The experiments have been made under very trying circumstances, since pauperism has largely increased during the past two years, the workhouses are overcrowded, and the cost of maintaining the paupers is of course very high. It is a noticeable fact that, with the exception of the East Riding of Yorkshire, the in crease has taken place over the whole country, though the highest rate occurred in the metropoli tan district. The general depression of trade and commerce has of course been the chief reason of this excessive pauperism. The excessive vitality in trading circles previous to the crash of 1866 has also assisted in augmenting pauperism since the unprecedented demand for labour and the high rate of wages brought men to the metro polis, to the shipbuilding yards, the railway works, and the enormous buildings then in progress. To make matters worse, when these men were sud denly thrown out of employment by the panic of May, 1866, the cholera chose that summer for its ravages, and the winter which followed was un usually severe an 1 prolonged, out-door work being completely suspendel To add to these causes of Depression came the bad harvest of 1867, and the rise of ten shillings a quarter in the price of wheat. The well-meant efforts of the charitable to assist the destitute in some of the poorest districts were in some districts productive of mischief, since unless great care is used in administering public relief a &Ass of idlers spring up who trade upon benevo lence. At the same time we cannot expect or wish that the wealthy public should be content to fold their hands and leave all severe and exceptional dis- The arrival of the Cuba, from New York on the 2d ult., brings us intelligence of the continued dis turbances southwards. In most of the Southern States the Legislatures are supporting the Gover nors in their endeavours to preserve order, and in some parts this appears to be recognised as the first necessity. The bodies of armed men who have organised themselves in various districts throughout the Southern States form a serious element of per plexity, and by common consent efforts are being made to put them down. The Governor of South Carolina has issued a circular against them ; the Legislature of Georgia has passed a resolution authorizing the Governor " to disband all organised bodies of armed men throughout the State." In Arkansas the disturbances assumed a serious aspect, and fighting took place, the courts of law being closed. The first accounts of these outbreaks were much exaggerated, and absolute annarchy was declared to be established. This alarming statement was luckily soon contradicted, and the next day's intel ligence was reassuring, the disturbances being quelled. We can hardly hope to see thorough tran quillity restored until the elections are over,since the perpetual manoeuvring and counter plottings keep up that degree of irritation and excitement which is most opposed to confidence and security. In Louisiana the Senate has contrived to eject Mr. JEWELL, a Democrat, and has admitted a negro in his place. Such a proceeding as this, for instance, must raise a great deal of angry feeling, and pre pares both blacks and whites for active collision. The Republicans have been gaining the day at Vermont, as we knew by the telegraph a few days since. Their majority, it seems, was about 28,000, being an increase of 8,000 on the Republican ma jority of last year. Public interest is now centred on the Maine election, which is to come off on Monday next. The Republicans will, it is believed, win the actual election ; but much importance is attached to the question whether they have gained ground since last year. Mr. PENDLETON is still ex erting himself for the Democrats, while the candidates of both sides, in compliance with the usual custom of American politics, are keeping themselves in the background. General GRANT, indeed, has visited Chicago, where he met with an enthugastic recep tion from his own party, but otherwise we hear comparatively little of the doings of the great men of the future. The question of the renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty has assumed a definite form, since we learn from Otawa that the llon. JOHN Rost: was pre paring to leave for Washington to open negotia tions on the subject. Happily, the state of feeling between the United States and Great Britain is no longer what it was in the days when the Radical members of Congress refused to listen to the remon strances from Detroit and other commercial border cities with respect to the abandonment of the Treaty. We may hope, too, to see other and more difficult negotiations brought before long to an equally encouraging solution. It is reported that Mr. REVERDY JOIINSON has received instruc tions from Mr. SEWARD to the effect that all papers hitherto issued regarding the Alabama question have been cancelled by the American Government, and that he is authorised to make such terms with the English Cabinet as he may think fit. Even accepting this information with some reserve, there is reason to hope that the subject will now be en tered upon by ➢lr. JOHNSON and Lord STANLEY in a very different spirit from that in which it was formerly discussed by the representa tives of the two Governments. Mr. JOHNSON'S speech at Sheffield indicated the most friendly sentiments on his own part and on that of his Cabinet, and we have already had frequent oppor tunities of ascertaining Lord STANLEY'S views on the relations between the two great countries. His lordship has openly declared before Parliament his conviction that peace between England and Ame rica was one of the most important considerations which a statesman could have in view. The De mocratic party in the States is, on the whole, more friendly to England than its rival, and therefore it would be highly desirable that this troublesome question should be finally disposed of while Mr. JOHNSON still retains power. Mr. SEWARD was at one time by no means friendly to this country, but he would no doubt like to retire from office with the glory of having settled the Alabama claims. When two such able and straightforward councillors as Mr. REVERDY JOHN SON and Lord STANLEY meet, with full powers to discuss a question which both are anxious to settle, the solution of the problem cannot surely be far off. the East they will come into collision somehow or other. That this will be a result unfavourable to the interests of Europe cannot be denied, espe cially at the present time, but the pro bability is in that direction. The party of peace in Berlin has for some time past endeavoured to represent that all bitterness of feeling was allayed, and that the indignation experienced in Paris, at the time of the war in,,Germany, was allayed ; but there was no real foundation for the assertions made, and a little experience will soon show that there is anything but a friendly feeling prevailing between the two countries. At any rate, with one thing and another, a coolness prevails between Russia and the Cabinet of Berlin. The Berlin Post has taken up the question at length, and quotes from the Moscow Gazette to show that there is a good deal of strategy in the Russian po licy just now. The Muscovite journal speaks out very plainly on the subject, and declares that Russia does not desire to see Prussia enlarged. The CZAR does not wish that France should be injured in any way, and, therefore, one may readily draw the in ference from all this that the alliance with Paris is the preferable one. Amid the confusing aspect of things, it may be here sug gested that had France and Prussia been more scrupulous in their course of action of late years, it would be more a matter of indifference to them what line Russia took ; but the one has pursued a policy of such reckless encroachment, and the other too tamely looked on meanwhile, that they have lost a good deal of the moral weight they once pos sessed in the councils of Europe. How can they say, "Thus far thou shalt go, but no further," in the one case, when one neglected to give the warn ing and the other violated the principle in the re cent wars that took place. The aspect of foreign affairs is again clouded over, and much will depend upon the next few weeks as to whether peace or war be the order of the day. Russian policy is very undecided just now, and the opinion of some is that by making a closer alliance with Prussia the Government of St. Petersburg will set France at defiance, and pur sue its policy it the East at leisure. No doubt the French EMPEROR might have made a bargain with Russia had he been so minded some time •back, but it is to his credit that he has not in any manner compromised the integrity of the country by aiding and abetting the ambitious designs of the Czar. There is no end to the sug gestions and counter suggestions that are made in this matter, but the conclusion to be drawn is that Russia means something, and that to suit no views will she much longer forego her cherished scheme of acquiring fresh spoils in the East. Whether, in carying out this end, she propitiate France and offend Prussia, or vice versa, is of very little consequence to her, we doubt, so long as the end is gained, but there remains a good deal to consider as well as this point under notice. For some time past war has been imminent between France and Prussia, and it is not at all unlikely that in the confusion prevalent on the invasion of LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 11. The Prince and Princess of \Vales are expected on a visit to the Royal family, for the hunting sea- son, in November. The Var election will be decided in a day or two. The nearer the approach of the decisive hour, the greater does the importance of this event appear. The question at issue is not whether the Opposition shall gain one more victory, but whether the principle of controlling the absolute government which now exists is to be carried further. The election of the Jura was an Opposition victory which has caused all parties to use their utmost endeavours to ensure the success or the defeat of M. Dufaure. If ho be successful, the election will do much to confirm the serious impression produced by the Jura victory; if he be defeated, the unex pected return of M. Grevy will appear more in the light of an accident. The return of M. Dufaure cannot but be regarded by the French Government as a grave occurrence. Indeed, the tone of the French press suffi ciently indicates the importance which is attached to this event. Of course each party is confident of victory. The telegraphic communication between Berlin and Paris has been irregular and interrupted for some time past. The Prussian Government has made inquiries into the cause of this irregularity, and it has been discovered that the accidents to the telegraph wires, of whatever kind they may be, have been sustained on French territory. " Of course," says one writer, " all this was by chance." The reports of the health of Count Bismarck are not reassuring. He will not be able to resume his onerous duties for some time, and one writer goes so far as to doubt whether he ever will. An article by M. Guizot, which is to appear in the next number of the Revue de Deux Mondes, is awaited with much interest. It is entitled `• France and Prussia Responsible to Europe." M. Guizot is all in favour of peace. The danger of a renewal of the famine in Algeria is exciting an alarm which appears by no means unfounded. The Government is very sore on this subject. Last year a journal which had warned the colonists and the Arabs of the approach of want was summoned before the tribunals for daring to express an opinion. Another paper, as I mentioned, has received two Warnings. But the attitude of the Algerian press is quite unaltered. It continues to warn and to menace. The Liberty says that 200,000 Arabs have already died of famine, and cannibalism has become almost a habit with the survivors. The estimates of the mortality differ much, but all agree in making it terribly high. The unparalleled tragedy of Marseilles—the poisoning of three husbands by their wives—continues to create great excitement in the locality. It now transpires that the youngest woman was an illegitimate child, and had been adopted by a lady who pitied her destitute condition. The girl was brought up, and married at the age of seven teen. But she refused to acknowledge her foster-mother after marriage, disregarded the affection of her husband, and formed an intimacy with a waiter. What makes the crime the more horrible is, that when the poisoning was commenced and thehushand felt his strength diminish, he left his wife the whole of his property by will. The Philadelphia correspondent of the 2 lines tele graphs that the Republican Convention of Massachusetts has passed resolutions in favour of the payment of the United States' debt in gold. The war agitation is still kept up. Opinion in England is generally against the probability of an outbreak, the calculations of English authorities being founded chiefly on the utter absence of any reasonable pretext for war. But the foreign correspondents of English papers, whether infected by continental rumours or not, are very uneasy. The Times Berlin correspondent has recently taken a very warlike tone. He says the execution of the designs of the French war party depends entirely upon the relations be tween Prussia and Russia. Whilst Russia covers Prussia's rear against Austria, her rival in the East, any war between France and Prussia must be a fair stand-up fight, the terrible chances of which Napoleon will not be in a hurry to court ; and Russia's friendship or neutrality depends altogether upon the support she obtains in her Eastern designs. Austria is not strong enough to aid Russia suffi ciently. Prussia has no interest in meddling with Turkey, and thus, perhaps, afford France a pretext for attack. France has been applied to by Russia repeatedly during the last few years, but as the latter Power proposed to leave Prussia unattacked and confine operations to Turkey alone, France was unable to "see it." The same writer mentions other projects, such as France attacking Prussia, whilst Russia was allowed to have her swing against Austria and Turkey ; and also a division of the Eastern spoils between Austria and Russia, whilst Prussia was handed over to the tender mercies of France—all of which schemes go to prove that the parties are unable to come to terms. The Prussian press has caught the prevailing mania, and the North-East Correspondence comes out with a war like manifesto, stating that there is a strong war party at Berlin. Count Bismarck does not think any benefit is to be derived from postponing hostilities, but the King is more pacifically inclined. The reverse of this has generally been understood. Of the English journals, the Saturday Review observes that France has no allies, and cannot undertake an aggressive war. The Emperor's actions are inexplicable, but then the man who must exercises other people's wits is oftenest at the end of his own. The Imperial *Review thinks that war would have ensued already if any other than Count Bismarck and Napoleon had been the wire-pullers. The Spectator observes that on the whole expectation is strained towards a wholly invisible future. Coming events are not as yet casting shadows before them. The Rome correspondent of the Inclependance Beige says that the reports of the approaching departure of the French troops have recently become more definite, but he is sceptical of their truth. It is known that the military administration has requested the municipal authorities to provide enlarged quarters for the troops at Civita Vecchia. What is the object of this demand ? Some allege that the occupying force is about to be strengthened by more regi ments from France ; others that the small garrisons distributed through the province of Viterbo are to be concentrated previous to embarkation. The writer says that the health of the French garrisons is such that they are to be brought to Civita Vecchia, not for the pur pose of embarkation, but for sanitary reasons. The great heat of the summer has been productive of alarming mor tality amongst the French, but the Pontifical troops at the camp of Hannibal have suffered still worse. Barrack building is certainly not a common preliminary to evacua tion. The protest now being drawn up by the ex-Elector of Hesse against the confiscation of his territory is not a very hopeful manifesto, if we may judge by the treatment accorded to his ex-cabinet secretary. This Minister has just been tried at Berlin for high treason, and has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and to be after wards subject to the surveillance of the police for three years more. Dresden has been en fête during the visit of the King of Prussia. A large number of troops of all arms assembled in the city, and manceuvres and reviews were witnessed every day. It is said, however, that precautions had to be adopted to keep up appearances. Dresden was filled with Prussian police agents, who managed to prevent any manifestation of hostile feeling, if any were intended, but certainly did not succeed in ensuring the King of Prussia anything approaching to a welcome. The Saxons have shewn considerable indifference to military spectacles which were merely a testimony of the loss of their independence. They are attached to their monarch, and cannot be expected to regard with pleasure the visit of a sovereign who has virtually replaced him. The Government of the Netherlands is industriously practising economy. It has suppressed the two special departments of Worship, one of which had the care of affairs Protestant, whilst the other watched over matters Catholic. The former department is to he joined to that of Finance, the latter to that of Justice. This curious distribution is not actuated by any political motive. The Dutch Government is determined to reduce its Budgets, and with this object it has also diminished the expenses of the army and the navy. It is believed that the next Dutch financial statement will be an example to the reit of Europe, Barometer corrected and reduced to S 2 dog. a sea lesel.

This morning a strong v%indfrom the eastward is reported at Holyhead and Plymouth : on other coasts the wind, which is generally easterly, is moderate. Bain has fallen at places in the N. and W. The weather is cloudy, and fog prevails on the west coast of France and at Valencia. General Prim has just addressed a letter to his friends in Catalonia. The communication contains nothing very definite, but recommends his compatriots to remain quiet for the present, and before acting to prepare for success by all the means in their power. Londoners who pass over Waterloo Bridge are little aware, we suspect, that they owe the imposition of the halfpenny toll which they have to pay to the corruption of a Cornish constituency. Such, however, the Daily News tells us is the fact. "It happened that when Waterloo Bridge was in process of construction, the chair man of the Waterloo Bridge committee was a certain Mr. Henry Swan, or Swann. Mr. Henry Swann was at that time member for Penryn, and one of his means of getting elected for the borough and of securing his seat for it (which he did at the expense of the late Dr. Lusbington) was by executing a contract for the stone of which Waterloo Bridge is built, with certain influential electors of Penryn who were possessed of quarries !" Contracts of this kind are always costly, and the proprietors of the bridge had to be reimbursed the extra outlay in which their chairman had involved them for his personal advantage. Hence the maintenance of the toll to this day, and all because the electors of Penryn were venal. Ultimately this enter prising gentleman carried his bribery too far. He was petitioned against in 1819 by his Liberal opponent, Mr. Anderdon, and the facts being very flagrant, Mr. Swann was reported against by a committee of the House of Com mons, his seat was declared vacant, and he was ordersal to be prosecuted by the Attorney-General. Mr. Swann was tried at Bodmin at the next assizes, August 11, 1819. The Government of the day (Lord Liverpool's) did all they could to assist him to get off. He made a striking speech in his own defence, in which he declared that as chairman of the Waterloo Bridge committee he had caused £350,000 to be spent in Penryn. He defended himself for having given a breakfast at which from £5 to £25 was put into every elector's cup and saucer. " Bribery," he observed, " in the lump is nothing. It is nothing to pay money into the Treasury, or to the Secretary of the Treasury, to be paid over to the proprietor or patron of a borough for a seat, but it is a monstrous crime in these poor men to receive their £5 to £25 a man, whilst noble and right honourable proprietors can sell seats for £4,000 each." These arguments, however excellent in themselves, did not weigh with a Cornish jury. Mr. Swann was found " guilty." What punishment he received history omits to state; Eventually Penryn had a narrow escape from total disfran chisement. The corruption of this borough and of Fast Retford became the subject of a memorable parliamentary debate, which, more than anything else, led to the Reform Bill of 1832. Lord Liverpool's Government refused to transfer the representation from these rotten boroughs to such places as Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham. Penryn was annexed to Falmouth, and East R,tfor I was made what it now is, virtually a county constituency. Of late years the joint borough of Falmouth and Penryn has been laudably free from bribery. There is also a story told of another Cornish borough— Helston. In 1790 there was a petition against the two sitting members, who were elected by the vote of a single elector. He claimed to be the only duly qualified elector under an ancient charter of Elizabeth. The decision, however, after a very full argument, was against this return. Quite recently, Helston has been again before a parliamentary committee. In 1865 Mr. A. Young carried the seat in the Liberal interest, but was unseated for bribery. A very exciting contest followed, between Mr. Robert Campbell, an Australian merchant, and Mr. W. B. Brett, the late Solicitor-General, who has just been promoted to the bench. This election resulted in a tie, each party polling 153 votes. The Mayor, as returning officer, who had previously voted as an elector, claimed and exercised the right of giving the casting vote, and returned Mr. Campbell ; but on a petition to the House of Commons this was disallowed, and, a vote having been struck off Mr. Campbell's poll, Mr. Brett was declared elected. E . - v.," of Torquay, whom West of England readers will have no difficulty in recognising, writes to the Times that there is a worse evil than the feeing cf railway guards, and that is treating them. He adds : " The whole system of supplying drink at stations needs reform. The lisence is given exclusively for the refreshment rooms, but on many lines tempting little flat bottles of spirits, as well as what is called sherry, are hawked about the platform. Even in first-class carriages I have in thany in stances had to endure a fellow-passenger so offen sively drunk that I have been obliged to complain at the next station, the only result being that I 1 ava bel obliged to remove into another carriage at much inconvenience, especially at night. The drunken scenes in second and third-class carriages, and in the drinking rooms by the night trains are often such as would not be tolerated in an ordinary public-house. These rooms are frequently left to the care of an incompetent young woman, sometimes not of the steadiest character, who is utterly powerless to refuse, even if so disposed, the demands for more drink by roughs returning from a race course, or sailors paid off at Plymouth, whom we so often encounter on the 'Western lines." "J. W. 5.," referring to Mr. Spender's recent "Notes on Norway," in the Daily ,News, puts in a word for Sweden. He praises the Gotha Canal, with its famous Falls of Trollhattan, and Stockholm, which he somewhat inappropriately compares to Venice. Speaking of Norway, he says : " I am sure if some of our artists would go there and bring us something new, it would be a great relief to the monotony of the exhibitions which now repeat themselves every year. As an amateur, I brought some sketches home, but did not meet with a single artist, nor anyone sketching." It may interest our readers to know -that Tidemand, the greatest Norsk artist, finds so little patronage of art in his own country that he has been obliged to take up his residence in Ger many (at Dtisseldorff), where his works are better appre ciated. But he visits Norway every year in order to find subjects. There were last month some German artists on the Hardanger Fjord, and an English amateur at Aak, in Romsdalen. We understand that Lady Pigott also took a large number of sketches with which she will illustrate a work on Norway that her husband is now writing. An English artist would find a summer's work in each of the following districts—Roms dalen, Hardanger, and Sogne fjords, and the fifty miles between those two fjords, viz., from Eide to Gudvangen, a tract of country unsurpassed for beauty in Europe. All these districts would be best reached by Bergen from Hull. They have the further advantage of offering the cheapest possible living. It may be well to mention that on:all the Norwegian steamers a man and his wife travel for a fare and a half. town. The anthropologists have been quarrelling about money matters. It appears that Mr. Dunbar Isidore Heath, whom our readers will remember as an Isle of Wight incumbent who was deprived of his living several years ago for having hazy notions about justification by faith, is the treasurer of the Anthropological Society, and that a Mr. Brookes has accused him of jobbery. It is a very small job, anyhow, £3OO being the amount involved. This amount Mr. Heath says he paid the printer, and Mr. Brookes, who audited the accounts, had an opportunity of seeing the voucher. Mr. Heath, in a quietly sarcastic letter, effec tually disposes of Mr. Brookes, and allays this storm in a tea-pot. It is rather amusing to find the anthropologists thus in arms about such a commonplace matter as cash. pne would have thought that they were a finance com... pany disputing over directors' commissions, instead of a band of sovana I),osil.red t 4. poolskOltr ancestry to the trioMaPiPo.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INIELLIGENCE. MALTA, Sept. 2.—The ironclad screw steam fri gate Prince Consort left Malta on the 27th August for Corfu, to join the squadron cruising under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief on the coast of Dalmatia, conveying, on a pleasure trip to Sicily, Mre. and Miss Fanshawe, Deputy-Inspector of llospitals Doraville and Mrs. Domville, and Miss Grant, the daughter of the Governor of Malta, who, on reaching Sicilian waters, will be put on board the Azov, mortar sailing schooner, which the Prince Consort, carrying mails and despatches, had in tow, and on which vessel the excursionists will be landed at Catania, and return thence in her to Malta, after visiting Etna, Messina, and Palermo. The New port, surveying steamer, which lately brought over the same excursionists from Girgenti and Syracuse, left at the same time as the Prince Consort for Siculiana, on the southern coast of Sicily, to resume her surveys, after landing Lieut. Sullivan, R.N., and several of her crew attacked by fever. She re turned to Malta on the 30th of August to land others of the crew also suffering from fever, but there have been no fatal cases. Her Majesty's steam sloop Antelope left on the Ist of September for Corfu, with mails and despatches for the squad ron and Commander-in-Chief on the coast of Dal matia. The Italian steam frigate Principe Hum berto left Malta on the 28th of August, destination not known, but supposed to be Sicily. On Thursday morning the Channel fleet, under the command of Rear-Admiral Warden, C. 8., Ar rived in the Frith of Clyde from Belfast Lough. The fleet, consisting of the Minotaur, 26 ; Warrior, 32 ; Achilles, 26 ; Bellerophon, 14 ; Penelope, 10 (all screw ironclads) ; and the tender Helicon, 2, anchored at the Tail of the Bank at 9 o'clock, and shortly afterwards it was announced that the vessels would be open to visitors from 12 to 5 o'clock. Provost Grieve and the Greenock magistrates visited Admiral Warden in the afternoon, and formally welcomed him to the Clyde, and in the evening the senior officers of the fleet dined with the Provost at Levan House. The squadron, it is expected, Rill remain in the Frith for a week, during which there will be a succession of public and private entertain' ments at Greenock in honour of the visitors, and 5 grand banquet and ball at Glasgow. An order was yesterday received at Chatham from the Horse Guards directing a detachment of 35 non-commissioned officers and men of the Dra t battalion of the Ist Royals, and 75 men of all racks of the first battalion of the Bth Regiment, to pro ceed on the 26th inst. to Malta to join the service companies of their respective corps which are about proceeding from I\lalta to India. Capt. J. P. Jones and Lieut. C'T. W. Sawyer, Bth Regiment, and En sign R. H. Derman, Ist Royals, are ordered to pro ceed with the troops.

A contractor's trial of the engines and machinery of the double-serew steam gunvessel Seagull, 39 was , made at the measured mile outside Plymouth Sound on Wednesday. The weather was fine, sea smooth, and wind easterly, light, pressure 2. The S eagull was built of wood in the Devonport dockyard. O Mr. Alexander Moore, and measures 663 tons. fier engines, horizontal direct-acting, are from the manu factory of Messrs. A. and I. Inglis, of Glasgow, one of whom was on board. The trial was made under the superintendence of Capt. George W. C. 8., of the guardship of Steam Reserve Indus, and of Mr. Robert Nicoll, assistant to the chief eugt neer at Keyham Steamyard. Six runs under fu' boiler power gave a mean of 11.2 knots per hour, and four runs at half-boiler speed produced a glea n of 10 knots. These results were considered very satisfactory, the speed being, it is said, superior t: that usually obtained by vessels of this class. There were no hot bearings.

Reuter's Telegram CompanY (Limited), 5, Lothbury, London, Sept. 11, 1868. STATE OF TRADE. BLACKBURN, Sept. 9. With rather less than an average attendance of spinners and manufacturers on 'Change to-day, we have had an improvement in the amount of business done. The downward tendency of prices for yarns —fully id. to fd. per lb. on the top rates of Wednesday last—has caused buyers to give orders pretty freely, from a general conviction that quotations will hardly get lower. Not much has been done in cloth. Altogether, with a quiet market, there is a firm feeling and a strong under-current. BRADFORD, 10th.—The wool trade remains in active. The transactions are very restricted, and confined to purchases either to supply pressing wants or to assort stocks. The demand, restricted as it is, is still chiefly confined to the best deep grown wools, other sorts being quite neglected. The recent quiet ness in the cotton market has tended to. impart a marked degree of languor to this market. Not withstanding the dulness prevailing, holders of wool generally show great confidence in the future, and maintain quotations with remarkable firmness, de spite the efforts of buye r s t o o btain a slight conces sion. Though prices ar e no t quo t a bly changed, they show a slight tend ency d o wnwards, this being more apparent in wools of the inferior class. There is a steady business doing in mohair and Alpaca, at the rates recently current. There is no appreciable improvement in worsted yarns. A steady business is still doing on home account. The export trade is still inactive, merchants generally confining their movements to making inquiry and obtaining quo tations, or, in some in s t ances , to making offers, which are so low, that th e y f a il to tempt the spinners to negociate. Though spinners generally are well employed, yet the long absence of new orders tends to make many anxious for a revival of trade. Quotations are a shade easier, though the stability otherwise of prices dep en d s muc h upon the position of the spinner —wheth er h a i s well employed or holds stock.
