After the prizes had been distrihuted, hearty
cheers were given for the Baron and Baroness, and
thtir kindness and liherality suitably acknowledged.
The Baron, in replying, said that it afforded him
groat satisfaction in seeing the improvements effected
in the gardens of the cottager., which the show that
dar gave good evidence of; he trusted they would
still go on improving, and expressed his earnest wish
that they might lire long and happily together. Cheers
were then given for Mr. and Mrs. liambro, and at the
retreat of the Baron, for his g.uinddaughter, the
heiress of the estate.

Tbe Persia, with dates from New York to the
28th ult., has arrived. The "vigorous" system
which has been inaugurated by "Old Abe" continues
to be carried out. The Mayor of Washington has
been *rot to Fort Lafayette for refusing to take the
oath of allegiance, and several spies, among whom
are three ladies, have been arrested. Indeed, the
principles of srlitary government appear to be in
great favour. No one leaves the Nr ribs= States
now without • passport, and various nesspapere
have been interdicted from peering through the poet.
No %tory important military movements are »ported,
hut it is said that Fort Fibnore lie. been surrendered
to the Confederates, and the Federal force uuder Bo-
sencranx has been surrounded and "badly beaten"
at Somerville. An expedition. onnini&,ng of war yes'
'vie carrying 100 guns and 4.000 men, has left Fort
Monroe, but their destination ie not known.
The Loudon Press of Saturday states that it has
authority for stating that a secret agreement bag
been come to, between the King of Sweden and the
Emperor Napoleon, by which the Finns are to be
encouraged to re-unite their country to Sweden.
Our contemporary says the Emperor has promised
to "lesist." if his amiationos should be needed.
It is announced that • double matrimoalal alliance
is about to be formed between Italy and Portugal,
Victor Emmanuel, it is said, will awry Donne
Maria Antonia. the King of Portugal's eider. while
Don Pedro will take for a wife the King of Italy's
second daughter, and will thus become the son-in-
law of his brother-in-law.
There was • wonderful exhibition in the Free
Trade Hall. Manchester. on Saturday—wonderful
even to us who are familiar with the appliances by
which the results were produced. The occasion was
the "telegraphic soiree" in connection with the
meeting of the British Aeonciatiou. Messages were
sent by telegraph to the European espitals--without
break or re-tr.neminsion. and answers were promptly
received. Prince Albert asked from Balmoral how
the meeting had succeeded, and • eetiefaotoryanewer
having been soak the operator in the Hall asked the
elute of the weather and the time of day at
St. Petersburg. Then he turned his attention to
Paris., and inquired if M. Brequet was in the
telegraphic oflice in that capital. To each query
louvers were pent back immediately. What would
oar grandfathers have said if they had been told
fifty years ago that there would be such an
exhibition in a public hall in England in ifo6l.
A somewhat singular accident occurred in London
on Saturday afternoon. About twenty-five brick-
layers were working at the bottom of • shaft up-
wards of 80 fret deep, connected with the Metro-
politan underground railway, and while so engaged
the main pipe of one of the water companies, which
runs near the top of the shaft, buret, and • huge
waterfall instantly descended on the men at me
bottom. The workmen were for some time in a
most periliousi position, as the shaft was fast filling
with water, and the only mode of escape was
through the continuously descending stream. Ulti-
mately, by great exertions, the poor fellows were
rescued, but not before several of them were almost
dead from bar and exhaustion.
On Friday night an mquest wee held on the body
of an unknown lady who was tilled an the Great
Western Railway, having foolishly ventured on the
line just as a train was coming up. On Saturday'
coroner's jury returned • verdict of manslaughter
against an omnibus conductor, named Martin. who
was charged with having caused the death of an
omnibus driver in a quarrel which took place whin
the vehicle was in motion. Both men fell, and the
conductor himself sustained considerable injury.
