hardly do any greater harm than diverting popular
attention from the only broad, firm ground of
hope of an ultimate sufficient supply of meat.
The true mode is (according to reason, and to all
the highest authorities on the subject) to extend to
the utmost the means and methods which have
been proved good for improving the quantity and
quality of meat. There is before us quite as much
as the country can do in this direction ; and to do
it, and to amend our negligence', will fill our mar-
ket' with beef and mutton much sooner than any
hunting after new devices and short cuts to a
cheap market. We must look for help to the mode
of farming suggested by the circumstances of our
time. We shall henceforth grow less wheat and
more green crops ; we shall go deeper into the soil
for its wealth ; we shall fertilise it further by a
richer manure, obtained by feeding cattle on the
artificial foods which are beginning to teach us
their value. We can import, fatten, sell, and eat
foreign cattle, more and more, if need be, but our
main dependence must be the spread and increase
of the most improved breed' at home. The whole
affair is a question of time only. The prodigious
rise of pries this year is caused by last
year's drought, and failure of cattle food.
It may come to good ultimately ; for
it is certainly stimulating the art and
practice of stockbreeding, and modifying
our agricultural practice more than any less
stringent trial could have done. We are in the
right way ; that much is known. Let it be pur-
sued with energy and steadiness, and it will give
us what we want—or, at any rate, it will give the
next generation what it wants. The present prices
of meant are a sufficient security that it will be
cheaper by and by.
But we must repair our negligences. We
must have no cattle-trucks and steamers rank
with infection, so as to spit the trade with Ireland
and Holstein, and the distribution of the supply
at home. We must have more veterinary 'alone*,
and many more veterinary practitioners. It is
now an almost vacant profession—urgently need-
ing to be filled by qualified men. We must have
au end of typhoid fever in pigs, of lung disease
and many a nauseous malady in cattle and sheep.
Already, if all our diseased animals were healthy,
and if we could bring over the sea, and distribute
through the land what we might procure if only
they could be secured from infection on the passage
and at their journey's end, we should hear leu of
the dearness of meat than we do now, and are
likely to do for some time to come.

Resuurs OP THE Elscnows.—The final returns
of the polling in the county of Monaghan have now
arrival, and give Mr. Dawson a majority. Mona-
ghan is therefore to be added to the constituencies
in which a conservative has been replaced by a
hberal member, and the majority of 25 liberal over
conservative gains, which we demonstrated yester-
day, is increased to 26. The composition of the
House of Commons being now determined, it ap-
pears that 371 of its members have been returned as
liberals, and 287 as conservatives, giving • liberal
majority of 84.

A Cabinet Connell was held yesterday at the

Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon.

be brought before the tribunals. Domiciliary visits
have been niacin by the police at the reaidences of
MM. Classen-Kappelmann and Burgers, member,
of the committee for the fate, and also at the house
of IL Braden, the editor of a local journal. A
number of letters, printed document., and tickets
for thefete, were seized. When M. Bergers demanded
the cane of the visit, one of the officers replied that
the mescal' had been taken because the committee,
although dissolved as a political association, still
-continued to act as such.

A Cologne letter, of the 22nd, contains the sub-
joined details of the banquet in that city : _ -

About 70 or 80 deputies arrived yesterday evening, end
the genwrel impression wee that the fete would take plain
nadir soy circumstances. There could be no igesetion of
boldieg it at the Gursnicb, as that hall was pargady coon-
pied by the police. The deputies, however, hoped fobs
able to assemble unmolested in a large room in the ceotre of
the zoological gardens. At 11 o'clock in the morning the
umbers of the national representation, the deputations
from the provinces, and • large number of subscribers
belonging to the town bold a consultation. They were still
deliberating when intelligeuce was brought that the
tribunal of first instance had quashed the decision given by
the director of police, dissolving the committee. The an-
nouncement wee received by the assembly with trios
ports of enthualeam. Shortly after, N. Burgers, •
writer well-known on Germany, read two dose-
ants drawn up in the deliberations above re.
jeered to. The first, under the form of an Wrens to
the committee of the banquet, was • protest,
moderate in its language, of the deputies present against
the measurer; of the government; the second wee more
decided and energetic, and declared that the committee
maintained all legal reserves against the lOW in question.
M. Burgers then annousced that there was no looser an
obstacle to the banquet beiug held in the ecological-gar.
dens, and fixed the hour of maim; for 3 in the afternoon.
At the moment agreed upon more than 5,000 persons filled
the gardens, which are situated outside the fortifications,
and about 1,100 guests assembled around the tables sot out
beanie in the great room. The joy was, alas! but of short
dustiest The first *Devito had hardly ended and the first
glass bees emptied, when the burgomaster of the place, If,
Eicb, profited by the pretext of a tout being proposed to
M. Classen-Kappelmeen, to declare the assembly dissolved.
The guests paid no attention to the burgomaster, whoop
voice wee drowned by the laughter and shouting of those ,
present. This promodieg, however, sucessded but badly,
for the fenctiooary withdrew in anger, and a few minutes
after reappeared at the head of a company of infantry,
the bayonets of which recalled the company to • sense of
respect for authority. An indescribable scene then ensued.
The troops commenced by driving from the room the
guests who, having but imperfectly dined, quitted it
with reluotence. Unfortunately time is wanting to de-
scribe the burlesque incidents which occurred—such
se the upsetting of the burgomaster Eich--and which gave
an air of burlesque to the proceedings. After the ben-
quetting room, the garden was !leered, not, however,

before the officer in command of the detachment having to
declare several times that he would be obliged to order him
troops to use their arms in nee of resistance. In the
unties the city was patrolled by detachments of infantry
sod earthy.
Subjoined is the text of the address to M.
Classeu•Kappelmann and the other members of the
committee, signed by the members of the Prussian
Chamber assembled at Cologne :
Cologne, July 22.
Gentlemen,—The undersigned deputies accepted with
eagerness the invitation to the liStc which you prepared is
this city in honour of the liberal majority of the Chamber
of Deputies. We look opal this levitation as a fresh ex-
pression of the aooord which exists between the nation sad
its chosen representative.. We are persuaded that the
principles of liberty and coenitutional right, which have
been defended without relaxation by the majority of the
chamber, can alone led to the fruitful development of our
eountry. Animated with this spirit, we have come amongst
you, sad from that point of view we cannot but regret
greatly that the celebration of the festival should have bees
prevented. We also are convinced that the occupation by the
police agnate of the hall which you had hired, and of which
you had taken legal poinession, is contrary to the consti-
tution. Is virtue of Art. 29 of this latter, all Prussians
have the right to assemble penes* and without arms
in inclined places. The toter, of Prussia does mot, how.
ever, depend os wawa of that kind. We express to you
our gratitude for your invitation, for the persistence you
have shown in the defence of our ocatunce rights, and for
your courageous fidelity to the constitution. We look for-
ward with coolldence. So long as the people shall defend
its oonstitutioeal rights, no one should lose hope in the
future, for finally the potion will be muter of its desti-
nies. Mere follow the signature of 45 deputies.)

THE RUPTURE BETWEEN SPAIN AND
PERU.

MADRID, JOLT 22.
The Correspowlencia de Espana of to-clay says :-

"We have grounds for stating that the Spanish I
government entirely disapprove the worse taken by
Senor Tsvira, our envoy in Chili, and that he will,
consequently, cease to represent Spain in that re-
public. Senor Pareja, who has always opposed the
arrangement made by Senor Tavirs, will probably
replace that diplomatist.
" A periodical asserted yesterday evening that
some agitation prevailed in Aragon, Catalonia, and
Valencia. We do not believe that reaction or
revolution has any means of creating a conflict.
But, apart from uur private opinion, there is
nothing, according to our information, to cause the
slightest apprehension with regard to public tran-
quillity.
" The suppositions of the opposition press that
difficulties at home and abroad will prevent the
recognition of Italy from being carried out are
entirely gratuitous. The recognition of Italy is a
fact. The wish of the government in this matter
has already been made known at Florence, with the
reservations that Spain has considered expedient,
in the movement followed by the other powers who
have recognised the Kingdom of Italy."

imisaioner, and the author of
some letters to a young lady known as the " Fairy
Queen correspondence," for inditing which he
narrowly escaped a cow-hiding. This gentleman
absconded from New York, carrying off with him
considerable sums of embezzled money, and an
attorney, Mr. Parsons,, was sent to Europe in pur-
suit of him, but for several weeks could find no
clue to his whereabouts either in Paris or
London. Mr. Eastman has now turned up at
Lyons under very strange circumstances. A few
days ago the Procnreur Imperial at Lyons wrote
to the United States vios-conaul there that an
American subject, in a totally destitute condition,
and in a state of mind approaching to insanity,
brought on by the use of opium, had been placed
in a Maiaon de &aid by a M. Crestin, in whose
holm he had bees lodging, and that the vice-con-
sul might probably think it right to make some
inquiries about him. The vice-consul, after
seeing the person alluded to and ascertaining that
his name was Eastman, wrote to the American
Minister in Paris for information and instruc-
tions. Mr. Bigelow, who had been instructed by
his government to look out for Eastman, at once
telegraphed to Lyons to have him arrested, and
wrote to the vice-oonsul, that so far from being
destitute, be must, in all probability, have con-
siderable property concealed among his effects. A
carpet bag, which was the only luggage he had
with him in the asylum,was accordingly searched,
but it was found to contain nothing but empty
opium bottles. Mr. Parsons and the vice-
consul subsequently called upon M. Crestin,
and he, after some conversation, very adroitly
managed by the Americans, admitted that Mr.
Eastman had deposited in his hands a sum of
16,500 dollars. He said that he was very glad to
be relieved from the custody of it, and be at once
gave it up to the vice-consul. It is expected that
further sums left by Eastman in another place will
be recovered. Mr. Bigelow has made an applica-
tion to the French government for his extradition,
and meanwhile he is in custody.
The Oniztitutiontiel claims a great victory for
the government as the result of the recent muni-
cipal elections which were appointed for yesterday
(Sunday). The returns, so far as published, show
unquestionably a great majority of places in which
the " municipal list" has triumphed. This
"municipal list" is a new expressioo, and the
Conatitutionnet would have it understood that it is
equivalent to the official lists of the general elec-
tions. In its zeal for the cause the Constinaitmeel
forgets that the Minister of the Interior had
formerly protested against any party signification
being attached to this latest application of universal
suffrage, which had to deal only with questions of
local interest. But in presence of what it is pleased
to consider a fresh manifestation of popular confi-
dence, the official paper ignores M. de Lavalette
and intones its Te Imperator laudamus. But
when the names of the elected with the comments
of the provincial press, which alone can pronounce
on their signification, come to be known, it will
probably be found that these municipal lists were
made up by compromises which admitted many
adherents of the opposition, and many very luke-
warm friends of things as they are. But there is
also not a small portion of bitter avowedly mixed
in the cap of strong waters which the Con-
stit 'stemma presents with such encomiums
to its readers. At Marseilles and Siste-
ron 20 opposition candidates have passed ; at
Castillain 10 ; and at Vienne 18. At Tavernay,
Cavaillon, Lectoure, and it is at this moment an-
nounced at Dijon also, the whole of the opposition
lists have have been elected. In many places only
a portion of the candidates received • sufficient
number of votes to make their elections valid, and
in these a new ballot will be required. Clantecy
and the Basses Alpee, which offered the most seri-
ous resistance the coup d'ilat experienced in 1851,
are also to be numbered with the departments
where the "men of order" of the Constitutionnel
have been beaten.
The general tone of the Bourse has been one of
great discouragement. A fall of Inc. in Rente
and of 101 r. in Credit Mel:Hier shows the vigour
with which the position of the " bulls" is attacked.
The great event of the day is naturally the new
Paris loan, for which the subscription opens to-
morrow. The small capitalists, both in Paris and
the provinces, have sent large orders, and there
are beta that the lists will be filled up the first
day.
