PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK.
Initiatory steps were taken yesterday by prominent gen-
Itlemen of this city, interested in the welfare of the labour-
ing classes towards the holding of a grand industrial exit!.
Ibition in the spring of 1868. They propose to inaugurate a
new system in the projected exhibition, by which the me-
ebonies and inventors will be enabled to exhibit the pro-
ducts of their ingenuity and industry, instead of the capi-
talists and proprietors who have heretofore been allowed
the main chance as exhibitors. Ten thousand circulars, I
requesting the cooperation of journeymen mechanics
throughout the Union were ordered to be printed.—Rem
York Herald, August 23.
THE Jaws IN Mokocco.—A letter from Tetuan
gives some particulars re'pecttng the assassination of three
Jews by Moors in the vicinity of that town since the 20th
of May last. The writer complains of the supineness of
the Moorish authorities, who do not, indeed, appear to
have afforded that equal justice end protection to all the
Sultan's subjects, Mahornedans as well as Jews, which
the Sultan promised to Sir Moses Montefiore, on
the occasion of the latter's humane mission to
Morocco some years ago, should be given in Mo-
rocco. We fear the Sultan's edict, like similar edicts of
the Sultan of Turkey, commanding the equal treatment of
his Christian and Mahomedan subjects, flails a barrier to
its practical execution in the fanaticism of the Mahomedan
mind which cannot at all take in the idea of equality be-
tween the followers of the Prophet and those who profess
any other religion. Although the Jewish subjects of the
Sultan have no right to invoke foreign aid, we believe that
the friendly influence of the foreign representatives in
Morocco has always been exerted to protect them from in-
justice, and this we fear is the only protection they have
to look to against the harshness or partiality of their
Mahomedan rulees.—Gibraltrie Chronicle, August. 21.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT DUNDEE.

(PEON OUR OWN REPORTER.)
DUNDEE, Mom's.

A legend on the borough seal makes Dundee
Donna Dei—a gift of God. A more probable derivation
tams it to " dun," a hill or fort, and Tay, the river to
which Dundee owes all its importance. Its claim to be
considered "bonnie" goes back to a very early date, since
even the Celts designated it miller—pleasant. Pleasant it
is, and pleasant it must h►ve been when, standing on the
hill now covered with factories, the eye could take in the
whole of the country from here to Perth. On the one
side are the rounded hills of Fife. Between Dundee
and Perth the Tay describes a graceful curve, almost
a semicircle. The distance is some twenty miles,
and between the northern side—the convex bend of the
stream—and the foot of the hills that tun in a line from
the city of Perth, hes the renowned Carse of Gowrie. It
is but a small country—a piece of rich alluvial land, made
by the river, and nowhere app►rently more than five miles
I broad. The praise of its fertility who has not heard'
The whole forms a crescent, with Perth at one horn and
Dundee at the other. English visitors to the association
who an for the picturesque will no doubt take the longer
roufgvia Stirling, and thus enter the " Cane of Gowrie"
eSPWIIIt AM the Hass Tam* north, airt, sad waft
run from Perth.

A few miles below Perth on the way to Dundee are the
famous Stormontfield breeding ponds for salmon. The
district in which Dundee and Perth stands is one of the
least Anglicised of the Lowland Scottish.
Very few towns owe more to the energy of its people
than Dundee. It is the Glasgow of the east of Scotland.
Both es a seaport and as a manufacturing town its im-
portals*. is increasing rapidly. Here, as nearly every-
where in Scotland, even to the villages, the " fiat" system
prevails. This gives Dundee a better show of street
architesture than many English towns of the same size.
But i* coops up ninety thousand inhabitants within
narrower limits than would be allowed them on
the south of the Tweed. One seldom finds an English-
man who likes the system, and rarely a Scots-
man who will not contend that it is the best and
the only one to house the people of Scotland at all. The
flax and jute works in Dundee are of great size. It is
quite a curiosity to see 4,500 to 5,000 workpeople leave
the mills of Baxter Brothers and Co. Sir David
Baxter, the uncle of the hon. M.P., is the represents-
tive of the firm. He is known, and deserves to be,
throughout the kingdom as the donor of a handsome park
to the ancient burgh. For the last fifteen years the use
of jute in the manufacture of yarns, carpets, sackings,
and the like has been rapidly extending, till this mere
Indian grass has become the most important staple of
one of the largest industries in the kingdom. The
American war gave an impetus to Dundee as it did to
Belfast, which will surprise many of its scientific visitors
The "meting of the association promises to be a vet/
interesting one to thegeneral public. The Duke of Beti-
o:dew* is to deliver the inaugural address on Wednesday
evening in the Kinnaird-hall. The next evening Professor

Tyndall will lecture to working men on " Matter and
Fore@ ;" and on Friday evening Mr. Geikie is to lecture
on " The geological origin of the present scenery of Scot-
land." The following are the sections, with ►heir presi-
dents:

A.—Mathematical and Physical Science : Professor Sir
W. Thomson.
B.—Chemical Science : Professor Thomas Anderson.
C.—Otology : Mr. Archibald Geikio.
D.—Biology : Professor Sharpey.
B.—Geography and Ethnology: /Br Samuel Baker.
F.—lnonomic Science and Statistics ; Mr. Grant
Duff, M.P.
G.—Meckanical Science : Mr. Macquom Rankine.

The grand banquet is to be given in the Albert Insti-
tute. The building is a handsome memorial of the Prince
Consort. The architect is Mr. Gilbert Scott. When com-
pleted it will comprise a public hall, a free library, and •
picture gallery. The entrance to the hall, which is the
upper part of the building, is by • very ornamental stair-
case, ascended by two opposite fl hta of steps. These
form • circle, and give the building a very imposing
appearance.
_ _

•
Amusement and science are to go hand In hand. While
the association site at Dundee, a Chess Conference is to
be held at Perth. This conference assembles to-morrow
(Tuesday). A floral fete at Baxter•park, several excursions,
an artistic and industrial exhibition, and concerts make
np the bill of entertainment provided for the Admirable
Crichton who come to Dundee to compare notes. The
list of expected guests includes nearly all the Scottish and
English notabilities in science. No doubt they will be
able to report progress. We must give their names
to-morrow.

SIR DANIEL GOOCH, M.P., ON BENEFIT Bourn-
Deniel Gooch, M.P., presided at the annual
dinner of the Foresters' court at New Swindon. This
society, which comprise, several hundreds, is composed
almost entirely of working men connected with the Great
Western Company's locomotive works at Swindon. The
hon. baronet who commenced life as a working man (a fact
to which he had belore alluded, in responding to the toast
of his health) said as one of the members ofthe royal com-
mission appointed to inquire into the system of trades'
unions, be had had to turn his attention very particularly
to the effects of these upon society and the working classes;
and he was only too pleased to know that the societies con-
stituting the two orders of Foresters and Odd Fellows had
solely in view the benefit of the sick and needy. Their order
—the Foresters—was a powerful one, boasting of over
300,000 members, and having a fund of upwards of a mil-
lion of money. And so well was it constricted, and so
beneficial were the results, that anything that be could do
to further its interests he felt it • pleasure to give. The
revelations that had been made before the royal commis-
sion respecting the outrages committed at Sheffield were
not, as it would appear, confined to Sheffield. Scarcely
lees criminal or mysterious were those relating to
the neighbourhood of Manchester. In fact, it seemed
to be part of • system. Men, for instance, had come
forward—men holding influential positions in trades' unions
—and stated before the commission that it was 'non-
stroua that one 111‘11 should be paid better than another ;
that intelligence, skill, industry, should go for nothing;
and that the levelling system should prevail which made
every man alike, whether deserving or undeserving. He
was quite sure that no one in the company would maintain
any such doctrine. What was the great charm of England?
It was this, that any man, no matter what or who he was,
by industry, perseverance, and merit, might rise to the
highest station in the land. Could that be done by any '
levelling system? He hoped the working classes would
look upon this matter as of far more importance to this
country than even the question of reform, for it had to
deal both with them and with the capitalists—the levers
of trade.
POOR CLERGY RELIEF SOCIETY.—The annual
meeting of this society was held yesterday afternoon, at
the offices, Southampton-street, Strand ; the Rev. J. E.
Cox in the chair. The secretary read letters from the
Archbishop of Canterbury. Bishop Chapman, Bishop
Anderson. Mr. Long, M.P., Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, and
others, regretting their inability to attend. The committee,
in their tenth annual report, &aimed/Aged • steady
increase of support, and stated that they bad largely mul-
tiplied their grants. They had had to investigate a large
number of cases, and they could confidently affirm that •
more painful catalogue of went and worth had seldom
attracted the notice or challenged the scrutiny of the
friends of any charity. At the present time there was
but little hope of any diminution in the number of appli.
cants or the urgency of their claims; and friends and
supporters must be looked for in increasing measure if the
wants of the clergy were to be met with a liberality pro-
portioned to their greatness. The number of cases relieved
had been 1,652.
The Wesleyan of Exeter held their annual Sun-
day-school meeting on Monday evening in the Ring-street
School-room, • handsome new building. About 600 per-
sons were present. Tho proceedings terminated at 9.30,
and before the hat person bad left the room one of the
gas pendant., 20 feet long. and weighing at least a hun•
dredweight, hanging from the transverse beam of the open
roof, fell with a tremendous crash upon the seats which,
• few minutes before, were filled with people.
BRITISH EXPORTS FROM LlVERPOOL.—Acoording
to statistics published in Liverpool, the total value of
British goods exported from the town during the month of
July last was 6,857,776/. against 6,811,7631. for same
month last year. The declared value of exports from
Liverpool to the United States during July was 1,555,4Z11.,
• decrease as compared with July, 1866, of 32(.184/. The

GRIEVANCES OF FOREIGN REFRESHMENT CON-
TRACTWIS AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION.

The English, American, Prussian, and Russian
buffet-keepers h►ve addres,ed to its a long statement of
their grievances. They say to deprive them of the power
of seating their customers is equivalent to depriving them
of their business; that they had been induced to rent space
solely by the promise that they should have such power
afforded them, and that they had gone to a great expense
in order to avail themselves of the concessions allotted to
them ; and that ➢l. Bernard, the contractor for furnishing
chair', had never supposed that he had any right to inter-
fere with them till the comparative failure of his own spe-
cul►tion caused him more carefully to scrutinise the terms
of his contract. They state that their chairs had been
seised, and that the French government and the French
courts of law had hitherto refused them any redress. They
conclude as follows :

" The French restaurateur' declare that the Imperial
Commission direct promised them the right now in dispute:
the English declare that the British Commission promised
them the same, and so on to the end of the chapter. All
nations assert that the Imperial Commission now denies
what it formerly promised. Having got • high rent
for their building, they have got all they want, and
ewe re sore foe their—grear we tar Or -yobbo.

The whole thing has been turned into • speculatko.
Wherever • vendor of small wares can be placed,
wherever • liqueuriste can be induced to pay a little some-
thing for the permission to sell drinkable., there you
find him now, and in some parts of the Champ de Kars
you would imagine yourself to be in • low clam fair rather
than in the Imperial Universal Exhibition of 1867. What
will be the end of the chair question we know not. Law
proceedings will take time, and long before they are de-
cided the Exhibition will hare closed. We have thought
that the above true statement of facts might interest your
readers. It will show how we have been treated by
the Imperial Commission, and it might to be a caution to
' all future exhibitors not to rely upon flattering promises
merely, made to ensnare them : they will do well in all
their transactions to have everything down in black and
white, and on papier timbre."

Many representatives of metropolitan volunteer
regiments have left London to take part in the All
Corners Enfield Volunteer rifle meeting, which is being
held at the rifle butts near Hastings. In the first compe-
tition at 300 and 500 yards. 5 shots, 301. in five prizes are
offered; and in the second contest, at 600 yards, a similar
warn in sin prizes. Pool firing at 200 yards is also pro-
vided. The annual meeting of the Border Rifle Associa-
tion commences this morning, when prizes, value 1501.,
will be shot for at Melrose.

Oa Monday evening the recently-organised New-
castle Working Men's Constitutional Association held •
converearione and public meeting in the Musk Hall,
Neleon-street. The Duke of Northumberland had been
announced to take the chair, but in consequence of the
decease of his father, Lord Revenrsorth, as president of
the association, presided. During the evening the chair-
man read a bitter just received from the Duke of North-
umberland, expressive of sympathy with the objects of the
association.

On Monday afternoon a shocking circumstance
occurred in Stamford-street, Blsokfriara. Two brothers,
aged sixteen and ten, were quarrelling while walking
along, and the elder struck the younger so violently that
he reeled and fell into the roadway almost immediately
under a Hansom cab, the wheel of which passed over his
neck. The lad was conveyed to Guy's Hospital in a dying
condition, while the brother, whose momentary burst of
passion had caused the accident, appeared petnfied with
horror, and was totally unable to answer any questions put
to him.
. . .

—A
labourer, named Martin, was buried alive on
Saturday, in Navarino-roed, Dalston. He and another
man were making a tunnel under a footpath, and mis.
taking the measurements, he carried his work eight feet too
far. The soil was sandy, and there being no shoring used,
the earth fell in, and Martin was dead before he could be
dug out. The other man escaped. Martin was 73 years
old.

7.)MNIBUS ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning a
gentleman, who name could not be ascertained, mounted
an omnibus in Cheapeide to proceed to the Charing-cress
station of the South Eastern Railway, but when the
vehicle reached St. Clement's Church he told the con-
ductor to stop the omnibus. As he was in the act of get-
ting down from the outside the horses went on. The re-
sult was that the gentleman was thrown with great
violence to the ground, falling upon his head. Re was
immediately picked up and conveyed to the hospital,
where it was found that his skull was fractured. No hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
ScuLLultie RACE ON THE THAMES FOB £2OO.—
The race between Kilsby and Pedgrift for 2001. was rowed
again on the Thames yesterday. The officials were the
same as on the previous day. The men came away
together and so rowed to Simmonds's where Pad-
gift shot slightly to the front, and then a despe-
rate and determined race commenced, which was well
maintained and protracted up to the Crab Tree, where
Pedgrift's pilot took him too close to his man and their
mulls touched in • hardly perceptible manner. MIA,
stopped and Pedgrift went on, finishing 200 yards ahead.
The stakes were awarded to Kilaby on the foul. Time, 26
min. 2 sec. A vast amount of money changed hands on
the result.

THE HOP PLANTATION.—ROCHESTER, SEPT. 3.
—During the past fortnight the weather has been exceed-
ingly favourable to the growth of the hops, which in all
the grounds continue to improve, the late warm days and
nights having proved very beneficial to the plants. The
plants, generally, are clean and free from vermin, with no
appearance of mould. Consequent on the improvement
in the hops the market continues very quiet, with prices
about the same as before.

RAILWAY CAPITAL—The growth of the capital
invested in railways in the United Kingdom has expe-
rienced a very great increase daring the last 13 year'. In
1832 this capital stood at 264,185,6724 ; in 1853 at
273,324,5141. ; in l&Ri at 286,068,794/. ; in 1855 at
297,584,7091. ; In 1856 at 307,59%1,0861. ; is 1801 at
315,157,2581. ; in 1858 at 325,375,5071. ; in 1859 at
334,362,9281. ; in 1660 at 348,130,1271. ; to 1861 at
362,327,338/. ; in 1862 at 385,218,4381. ; in 1863 at
404,215,802/. ; in 1854 at 425,719,6131. ; and in 1865 at
455,478,143/. It will be observed that between
1852 and 1862 the avenge titaness of railway capital
only averaged 11,000,0001. or 12,000,0001. per
annum ; while in 1863 it was 18,997,364/. ;
in 1864 21,503,8111. ; and in 1865 29,758,530/. It is this
tendency to exaggerated railway investment which induced
the troubles which afflicted the railway interest last year,
and which still continue to some extent, the growth of
capital accounts having outstripped the progress of traffic
receipts. Nevertheless she railway revenue of the kingdom
displays a constant tendency to increase, having amounted
in 1852 to 15,710,.5541; in 1853 to 18,035,879/. ; in 1854 to
20,215,7241.; in 18..15 to 21.507,5991.; in 1656 to 23,185,4911.;
is 1857 to 24,174,6101.; in 1854 to 23,9603,7491.; in 1859 to
25,743,5021.; in 1860 to 27,766,6221.; in 1861 to 28.565,3551.;
in 1862 to 29,128,538/.; in 1863 to 31,156,397/. ; in 1864 to
33,911,517/; and in 1865 to 35,751,655 f.

EXPLOSION AT THE CHALONS CAMP.—A melan-
choly disaster has just occurred at the camp of Chalons
from the explosion of the powder magazine of the first
division. General Ladmirault, on leaving for Lille, had
gives orders for the loose cartridges of some of the troops
to be handed over to the artillery, but the latter declined
to receive them unless made up in packets. Some men
were in oonsequence ordered three days back to prepare
them as desired, and while thus engaged the building
blew up, killing Captain Riviere, of the 57th, a corporal
and a sapper of the same regiment, and a corporal and
four sappers of the 74th. Another soldier was so terrified
by the accident that he entirely lost his reason. The un-
fortunate men were blown to pieces by the explosion, and
were picked up in fragments around. A remarkable fact
L that the tent occupied by the guard of the magazine re-
mained standing, and fire men by whom it was occupied
escaped unhurt. Three ammunition wagons waiting hard
by were also preserved, with the horses and drivers. The
catastrophe is believed to have been caused by one of the
men treading on a percussion cap, which in detonating set
fire to mine loose powder spilt on the ground.
DESPATCH or AMERICAN MAILS.—SOCTHAMP-
Toe, Serr. 3.—The North German Lloyd steamship
