.4 of his cue. The other ap-
.milar in character, and in no
la g. ti was help refused. One
AMC at a well-known firm of Zug-
,agin been relieved two or three times
tore, but his health is as bad as his character is
ad, and he was assisted without question or
relay. And this briers one to mother very
leasant feature of the evening. The mem-
bers of the committee are evidently shrewd
prosperous Germans who having fiourished since,
"cr perhaps because, of their settlement bee,.
It upon doing what they can to smooth the
such deserving oompatriots as have not n
equally successful. But over and above, or rather
indissolubly connected with, this feeling, in an evi-
dent attachment for the old country, which makes
itself felt cheerily enough. For example, the official
language of the society is Genus, and one of its
rules is that neither conversation nor writing still
take plan during its meetings in any other tongue.
Some of the committee hays attended on every
Thursday evening during the last quarter of a de
tury, and in every case it was Noy to Pea that the
labour is one of love. To this is doubtless due the
greet ganleffected by comparatively email Reims.
The entire *owns of this little somety, thougb
increasing ese, has never in any. year reached 800/.,
and has frequently, been considerably below that
sum. Yet durieg 1864 no less than 800
applicants were relieved in sums of from
Bs. to sle each, while of this number 284
were married, and had 787 children dependeat
upon them for support. Some of Nape people had
passed the greater part of their lives in Zeeland,
others had Matriculated their chances of sneeses,
and had found soon after their landing the breathes
of industry they sought to work is to be already
fell to overflowing. Under them cirownstatess
they were always given the mesas of returning to
their native country, and the committee are de-
eidally inclined to entertain applications for such a
. Yo lees than 105 poi*e were thus sent
purpose
last year. The one missing link * the westing
of this admirable aseociation is a systematic com-
munisation with employers of such labour as Ger-
many most frequently supplies. The committee
are fully mated this, and if mesas could b. found
to graft upon its present functions that of
aiding the distressed and deserving Ger-
man artisan to the extent of providin him
with work, the Society of Beneficence and
world have still stronger claims on the gratitude of
their countrymen and the community at large. As
it is, however, it doss the utmost possible amount
of ood with the means at its disposal, and supple-
ments its mere money power with so much shrewd
practical wisdom as to obtain for its charitable con-
stituents an unusually large return for their invest-
ment. To those who care to study an exceptional
phase of foreign London life, or are wishful to see
how much good can be effected when men are tho-
roughly in earnest, a visit to this society will he
found interesting. It commences its labours every
Thursday at 8 p.m., and the president and officers
of the committee extend a courteous welcome to
strangers.

RATING OF MINES.

Mr. LYALL sated the President of the Poor-Inw Board
whether he would bring in a bill this session for the rating
of all mines and timber.
Mr. VILLIERS replied that it was not his intention at
present. He had, in fact, received a communication from
the chairman of the commissioners appointed to inquire
into the conditions of these mines, in which that
gentleman requested that the government would not
propose any measure until the home was in ponsession
of what was proposed in their report. There was the lees
' necessity at present Cs legislation, for since the passing of
the I. mops Assessment Act there had been so moth disestis-
! faction at the exemptions on this kind of property that in
all prob.ibility the question would be raised agave before the
warts of justice. These exemptions did not exist either in
Ireland or Scotland, and he did not see why collieries should
be rated sod other mines exempted. The report of the
commission wan on the table.

PAROLE OF TILE CREW.
(From the Liverpool Mercury, of this day.)
At about six o'clock last night a telegram was re-
ceived from went by Capt. nester, of her Majesty's
skip to whom the Shenandoah was sunendered,thst
the whale of the oaken and crew who were not British sub.
jests were to be immediately paroled. Captain Poynter im.
mediate': proceeded to the Rook Ferry slip and applied
for a steamboat. The Rook Ferry steamer Bee
was placed at his disposal, in which he Immediately
proceeded alongside the Shenandoah. Captain Punter
went on board and communicated to the °Risme
the object of his visit. The crew was mu,
tend on the quarterdeck by the woffioess
of the ship, the roll-book was brought, and the
names of the monlionlled out ea they occurred.
As each man answered to his name he was asked
what countryman be was. In not one instance
dill any ef them acknowledge to be British sub
-
Pete. Many nations were represented among them, but
the majority claimed to be natives of the Southern
States of America, or 4 " Southern citizens." Seve-
ral of those, however, who purported to be
Americans bad an unmistakably Scotch accent, sad seemed
more likely to have "hailed" from the hanks of the
Clyde than the Misaiseippi. Captain Pouter informed the
men that by the order of the government they were all
paroled, and might proceed at once en shwa. Thin
intelligence was received by the men with every
demonstration of joy, and they seemed to be de-
lighted at the prospect of leaving the craft in
which they had hoped to be able to mist the Southern
Confedersey. They commenced to park up their bedding
sad other articles u fast as possible, and conveyed them
on board the Bee, which was to take them to the lead-
ing stage. Before leaving the vowel, however, they gave
three lusty cheers for Captain Waddell, their late cora.
in mender. Captain Waddell, in feeling terms, acknow-
ledged the oomplimeet, and said that he hoped the men
would always behave themselves am brave sailors ought to do.
ad The men then went on board the Bes, and were convej ed
to the landing atege. Thus separated the Shenandoah
and her crew, and the vestal now rides at anchor in
the Signs is charge of some men from the Donegal, ceder

THE AIISTRO-PRIISKAN CONVENTION.
VIE/421A., AUGUST 24.

The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day publishes
the text of the Convention signed at Gestein by
Count Biome and Herr von Bismarck, and sanc-
tioned at Salzburg by the King of Prussia and the
Emperor of Austria.
The following is the substance of the most im-
portant articles of the Convention
Article 2 declares Kiel a tide port, places it
under the command of Prussia, and states that
both Powers shall have the right to use it for their
men-of-war until the Adsval Diet shall have passed
resolution relative to the future occupation of
Kiel.

Pruasia is empowered to erect at Kiel the neces-
sary harbour fortifications, which will also be under
her command.

The garrison of Rendsburg, which is to become a
Federal fortress, will be composed for the present
of Austrian and Prussian troops, the supreme com-
mand to bi each year alternately assumed by the
two Powers.

By article 6 the two contracting parties express
their intention that the Duchies shall join the
Zollverein.

Art. 7 empowers Prussia to construct the canal
uniting the German Ocean and the Baltic through
the Holstein territory.
Art. 8 relieves Lauenburg from her share of the
costa of the war, whioh will be divided between
Sleewig and Holstein.
Austria receives 2,500,000 thAlers as an in-
demnity for relinquishing her claims to Lauenburg.
The separation of the co-dominion will at the
latest commence on the 15th September.

The Wiener Zeitung also reproduces the article of
the General Correspondenz, which defends the ces-
sion of Lanenburg, as not antagonistic to the tradi-
tional policy of Austria.

It is asserted that General GabLenz has been

FATAL ACCIDENT AT FLPMOUTH REGATTA.

The unfavourable weather on Wednesday (which
was the 'rood day of the annual regatta at Plymouth) not
only interfered greatlytwith the day's sport, bet led to seve-
ral casualties. The Royal Mall waterman's boat, which
woe the first prise in the allies match for her class cm the
gist day, was cruising about with a pleasure porn sad
had not long rounded inwards the riders sad of the break-
water, when in jibing the was struck by a stern sea, and
Immediately filled and went down. Boats at owe put
off from the Prussian ships at anchor near; and
the whole of the crew and passengers, after some diffi-
culty, were picked up and conveyed to the weeds, where
those who needed it received immediate medical at-
Madame. A warms. rusted Bart was sailing the
Mianac:d the pleasure party was composed of Mr. F.
, Mr. WhipOg Mr. llourtoey, and Mr. Cheetham,
all of Plymouth. The three first-named of these could
swiss, sad they have suffered so injury ; Mr. Oliestliam sad
Bart could not, and when taken out of the water were to all
appearance lifeless. Stragnous exertior succeeded in
restoring animation to the latter; but Mr. Charism, un-
happily, was gone past recovery He was a clerk le the
Military Store Department. This accident occurred shout
the middle of the afteraow, and rumours soon after-
wards were simulated that two of the small Mosquito
fleet of pleasure boar bad been seen to go down out-
side. The statement was to a certain &Westboro* out by
the fact that the whole number which started in that
nice were not ems afterwards from the committewboat.
The fate of two of the smaller nein years sr also for
• time considered very doubtful. Four started for the
cep, presented by Mr. Pearce. of the Royal Hotel—the
Gentles, Edith, Vespa, and Kelly. Of than the three
latter completed their lint round by a little after four, and
it was understood that the Omsk* bad given up. The
limps completed the raw just after mew, but at that
ties nothing could be seen either of the Edith or Nay,
nor algid anything be learnt of their whereabouts. It
was asserted that they bad bra seen outside the break-
water almost overwhelmed by the heavy waves ; and expe-
rienced yachters were of °pinks that it was far too rough
for such small craft to have vestared on their snood
round. The danger with which such a course was fraught
was rendered plainly eviden, by the damage which the
larger vessels had serene& One of the latter nearly bad
throe men washed out of her by one sew They were all
driven overboard, but saved theoriess by clutching the

the gloomy foreboding which at length began to be enter

gence that the missing boats were all right, and had merely

according to which the Italian government is not
indisposed to come to terms with Austria. The
Florentine journal affirms, on the contrary, that
certain overtures made by Austria have been for-
mally declined by the Italian government, which at
the same time declared that the question of Venetia
was an absolute obstacle to any arrangement be-
tween Austria and Italy.
