cavalry, to inspectors of artillery and engineers,
and to all the heads of regiments

Binuesia, April 8.
Gentlemen,—The American war has brought about
a deplorable grids in the cotton manufactures of
every mushy. The city of Ghent, in particular, is •
great saffenr, and there is an urgent need for coming
to the ambiance of its timorous and brave workmen,
by widen bees pubis kumweisane the resources of
whilst the want el week hag entirely deprived them. It
has oreemedi to me that the army will be disposed to bed
its essourreene to any inemare which may tend to alle-
viate this salferlig; and is order to allow everyone to
bring his Miming to this valiant amity of labour, I have
dada they ia every puieon in which there is a naltary
maideal band, steps shall be token to organise • concert, the
pawn& of which shall be devoted to the benefit of the
ipeobbi population of Ghent. Be so good, therefore,

PRIISSLL

The Prnasian Minister of Worship has sent a
reply to the address in which the rector and synod
of the University of Berlin protested against the
government circular canvassing for votes, and
stigmatising as disloyal subject' all who supported
opposition candidates. The minister denies that
thew is any improper restriction imposed on the
electoral academical corps, when they are told that
participation in an electoral agitation hostile to the
government is incompatible with the position of a
royal functionary. " I cannot find," he says, "in
the legal rights and duties of the professors of the
university any reasons for giving them an excep-
tional position in this matter."

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

The lonian Parliament has replied to the
speech of the Lord High Commissioner by an ad-
dress, in which it declares that the union of the
lonian Islands with Greece is the only means of
improving the actual state of affairs. The Lord
High Commissioner has reminded the parliament
that it has no right to discuss the question of union,
as England, with the protectorate, has taken upon
herself its rights and duties :
I canoe per over in sdenoe the allusion made in this
&Maas to the question of the union of these sates to that
estaiss at the Greek race which constitutes the present
Maoism of Greece. . . .

Tie Leghlative Assembly declare, that it will employ all
bpi mans to give effect to this unchangeable desire of the
PM&
TIM only legal and constitutional course to adopt, if in-
deed snob a term can be applied to the proceeding, would be
that of • petition to the Protecting Sovereign. Such a
petition was addreeseal by the Legislative Assembly of the
11th Parliament to her Majesty the Queen, when • solemn
and ooncluaive answer in the negative was given by her
To the dalmatian °Detained in that answer I refer you.
In accepting the Protectorate of the lonian States England
has undertakes duties and acquired rights. It only remains
for me to intimate to you, that while she will discharge the
first with scrupulous fidelity she will maintain the last
inviolate.

It would be well, therefore, for the Legislative Assembly
to imply Resit to ita true functions of suanl legislation and
to abstain from the further agitation of a question which
mast be looked upon as having been settled by the sole au-
thority which is competent to entertain it.

PARIS, APTAL 14.

The Moniker, of to-day, states :—" The
Japanese ambassadors were received by his
Majesty yesterday. The chief ambassador made
a speech in which he congratulated himself that
the treaty concluded between Japan and France
would develop friendly relations between the two
countries. His excellency also expressed a desire
that the embassy should be conducted back to
Japan on board of a French vessel of war.
"The Emperor replied, ' I am happy to wel-
come the representatives of the Emperor of Japan;
and I hope the treaty will produce fortunate results.
I have no doubt that your visit to France will give
you a just idea of the greatness of our oonntry..
The reception which will be accorded to you, and
the liberty which you will enjoy, will COO •
viace you that hospitality is considered among
the foremost virtues of • civilised people.
I will willingly give orders for your return to Japan
on board a vessel of war. Together .with the re-
membrance of your voyage to Europe, you will carry
with you the assurances of my desire to entertain
relations of the most amicable character with the
empire of J►pan.e"

The official Gazette of to-day contains the follow-
ing circular from Signor Battaszi to the different
prefects throughout the Italian kingdom :
" The policy of the Italian government is inspired
by the ideas of national unity and of liberty. While
the work of unification is being accomplished is
Italy two political programmes are impossible.

only as to the degree of liberty suitable for the
country. The government will act with concilia-
tion, but will at the same time energetically sup-
press disorders."

ceed to Paris, for the purpose of entering into ne-
gotiations with the directors of the Society of

To-day in the Chamber of Deputies Signor Deboni
questioned the government respecting the enrol-
ments made in several towns, the expense of which
was according to report defrayed by the govern-
ment. Signor Deboni also mentioned the existence
of a rumour that the government represented that
these recruits were to be banished or sent to
Mexico or the United States.
Signor Rattami said in reply that the government
was strongly opposed to the enrolments in questiont
and was endeavouring to discover the authors of
them and the places where they were carried on.
"In this task," continued M. Batts:Ai " the
governmentmeets with many difficulties, seeing that
the enrollee have left no documents, nor any proof
on which to found legal proceedings."
The Minister further awned the Chamber that
the enrollees will never be able to carry out any
expedition, as the government had the means and
the strength to prevent them.
Signor Crisp' complained that some Venetian
emigrants had been sent to the Island of Sardinia.
Signor Hatton:l maintained in reply that the
government had the right of fixing the domicile of
the emigrants subsidised by the State.
It is asserted that M. Batumi has notified to the
parliamentary committee on the budget that he
intends making the integral approbation of the '
climes of the budget by the Chamber of Deputies

Cardinal d'Andma, the first created by Pins IL, in the
Papal Chapel. After the mass Cardinal Mattel, senior
member of the Sacred College, presented the homage of all
his colleagues to his Holiness. The Pope replied :—" I accept
the good wishes of the Sacred College ; like it, I am asto-
nished at all that has been accomplished before our eyes,
and I can only attribute such great things to the inter:
melon of her who willed that her immaculate °gimp-

duos extensive purchasing for shipment to New York ; is
fact, the market has been completely stripped of all bonds
offering at anything like late rates. The plethora of the
American money market, with the kaiaks of the currency,

DRAINAGE OF LAKE FUCINO.

The following is extracted from a letter from
Rome:

Prince Torlonia has just brought a considerable under-
taking to a enceeasful termination. Thanks to his powerful
amistesme, the aqueduct of Claudius, which was intended to
draw off the waters of the Lake Celano or Fucino, is re-
established. The Lake Fucino, four Roman leagues in
length and two broad, is 'halted at 32 miles from Sore, in
the Abruzzi, and 62 from Rome. Its overflowing fre-
quently desolated the surrounding country, from which,
when the water had retired, poisonous exhalations emanated.
On the occasion of the inauguration of the channel to pour
into the Liria the overflow of the waters of this lake,
the Emperor Claudius gave a combat of galleys, manned
by 19,000 gladiators. An immense crowd, and the
Praetorian Guard lined the banks to prevent the
flight of the unfortunate combatants. "The combat,"
sap Tacitus, "although between criminals, was worthy of
the bravest soldiers." The spectacle being concluded, the
flood-gates were opened, but the flow did not succeed, and
it was n to deepen the channel. Trojan, Adrian,
the Emperor Frederick 111., and Alphonse L caused new
works to be executed, winch were resumed in the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1826 the Neapolitan
government also undertook to clear and restore the Claudian
aqueduct. The glory of bringing this difficult work to an
end belongs to Prince Torlonia, who, after ten years' labour,
and an outlay of sevecal millions, at last saw, on the 9th of
this month, the waters of the Fucino move from their level,
and flow like a torrent, to orlon of " Viva Victor Emma-
nuele," " Viva it Principe Torlonia." Time is still necessary
to drain the Fucino entirely ; but the progressive lowering
of the lake will by degrees restore to cultivation arnperficies
of 35,000 scree. It is calculated that the sale of the land
will quadruple the capital expended on the undertaking.

BOP INTELLIOENCE. —The South Eastern Casette
reports the progress of the bop crops in various parts of the
country. We select reports from 50111 e of the most import-
ant plantations :—Maidstone.—The late raise and warm
nights have caused • great improvement in the healthy
grounds, and the hors have grown fast ; hut in the weakly
peon, which comprise the bulk of the golding grounds, the
chances of anything like a crop are gone ; in fact man acres
will not have a bin put into them. Canterbury.
grounds in this district are seriously attacked by the
others have made great progress during the past weeir,ls
there will be • good sprinkle, say of from 6 to 8 cwt pee
acre, and in all probability a good sample. There are some,
not attacked by the mould, that make little or so pro.
paw, the fine weather having come too late for them. It
is the opinion of many experienced planters that there will
not be more than half a crop grown. Bossex.—The no.
weather during the peat week has done much toward bring-
ing out the hops in this county, and in most places they
now promise • fair crop—acme even an abundant one. The
grounds are still very des°, though there are complaints of
slackness of bide from some quarters. Worcester. —The
Worcester Herald says that the presert favourable weather
is giving quality to the few hops that will be grown in this
district, but unfortunately ibis too late to have anylieneficial
effect upon the greater part of the plantations, as numbers
of Earisties will not produce a bop this *woo.

POLAND.

The latest advicee from Warsaw, in speaking of
the last attempt on the life of the Marquis Wielo-
polaki, make no mention of the weapon having been
poisonei, nor does the official journal allude to any-
thing of the kind. It is therefore probable that
the statement to that effect in the telegraphic de-
spatch is unfounded. The replacing of M. Wojda
as president of the town by Count Sigismund
Wielopolski appears to have made an unfavourable
impreesion on the Municipal Council and popula-
tion generally.

Marshal Magnan has addressed to the National
Guard and regular troops that took part in the
review of the 14th of August a complimentary order
of the day. Moreover, the Commandant of the
National Guard has received the following letter
from the Minister of the Interior :

My Dear General,—Before quitting the Champ de Mars,
his Majesty directed the Marshal commanding the army of
Paris to compliment you on the fine appearance and quite
military discipline of the National Guard of the Seine.
Nothing could be more flattering for the battalions
placed under your orders than this august testimony
transmitted by one of the leaders of the army. But it is
for me now, my deer general, to tell you how much the
Emperor has been touched by the sentiments which the
National Guard manifested towards him, and the acclama-
tions with which it saluted the Empress and the Imperial
Prince. Pray thank the National Guard for having shown
once more, and in such a brilliant manner, the complete
union of the population of Paris and thellrmy in attachment
to the dynasty of the Emperor.
Receive, my dear general, Ac.,

VORK AUGUST MEETING.—Trr.soAv.

Visitors from the metropolis to York could not have
anticipated the *skeins of such splendid weather upon the
Keaveemire. The ground is in splendid order, and the
jockeys who galloped over it in the morning appeared de-
lighted with the ethelleace of the "going," a result mainly
to be attributed to the perfect draining of the entire course,
OP different to many former wet seasons, when boys have
frequently bathed in the swamps. during the racing. The
programme of the two remanuog days gives promise of
abusdaut sport, and indeed the suggestion has been con-
tinually urged by the prom that a fourth day should
be added. There was a large concourse of spectators
present to-day, tempted by the prospects of great racing.
Conspicuous among the anstooracy was Lord Derby, who
appeared to enjoy the sport keenly after the labours of the
semion. Some sale.. of blood stock in the morning supplied
some of the loaners with employment., but only a few
brood mares found purchasers. No betting of any deserip-
ties came under our observation, either upon the Dior
Handicap or St. Lmer ; and indeed speculators generally
pronounced " operations " to be at a dead lock. The un-
certainty surrounding lvaohoff's runoing for the Great Elmer
was a topic of conversation on all sides, and it trans fired
that the original sowisator is in default for

wood, no horse can run if his creditors object. leashed

W Omelets', sad the Bimetal, produced soine interesting
seam. In the Yorkshire Oaks the favoured fillies, Feu de
Joie and Imperetrine, who were find and second at Epsom,
ewe out at York to fight their battles o'er again. Mr.
Naylor's filly had to carry 71b extra for her previous success,
end Imporatrioe 3lh, and the fact of the latter getting
the best of the weights, and having ran verb well at Good-
wood, caused her to be backed at half the pesos taken about
her former victriz, Fen de Joie. The result proved that
the Oaks was not the "fluke" so often smarted, as the
winner beat lmperstriee and the rent even easier than at
Epsom, though conceding weight to them all. The Con-
vivial Stakes created • semeation, as the Derby crack, Blue
Mantle, King of Utopia, Livingstone, Zspateado, and other
well-known youngsters, were beaten, after a brilliant race,
by Tornado, who owed her BOOM= entirely to the dashing
riding of Fordham. The filly, who is own sister to Hum-
