ROYAL BOT4eiC Socrwr or LONDON. —The
second spring fête of this society took place on Saturday,
when, notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, there
was a good and fashionable gathering in the gardens in the
Regent's-park. Although the spring is rather backward,
azaleas, roses, and cinerarisa combined to render the show
very attractive. The roses were especially fine, being par-
ticularly well grown, and the flowers very perfect and of
good colours. Those called " Maher Holmes" and " Alfred
' Colomb" attracted most attention among the dark
I ones, and a prettier light-coloured than " *Wong
Villermoz " can hardly be imagined ; while the de:
Baste rose-coloured "Anna Alexia'," was of giant
proportion.. As a relief to the brighter flowers,
them was a good collection of lilies of the valley,
ferns, orehida, meadow sweets, and miscellaneous or
variegated-laved plants. Amongst the very many carious
plants some attracted universal admiration. There was a
fine collection of begonia, and bright variegated pelargo-
niums. There was some red May in pots, the plants being
eight inches in height, and in full bloom. There were
also some fine amaryllis, a new Strelitzia, a new rhododen-
dron called "Princes, Beatrice," " Nidularium Pine*"
' the centre leaves bright red, and a good red camellia,
" Lavini Maggi rasa." Her Majesty the Queen of Den-
mark and her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of
Mecklenburg-fittelitz visited the gardens early. The band
of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) were in attendance.

INSTITUTION or NAVAL A ROO ITEITS. The
annual meetings of this institution were brought to a
close on Saturday, when a very interesting paper" On the
technical Education of Naval Architects" was read by Mr.
Scott RusselL He contrasted the facilities provided in
several oountries of Europe for the theoretical and prac-
tical education of youths intended for scientific pursuits,
with those afforded in England, and expressed his convic-
tion that in the matter of technical education we are
behind other civilised nations. Referring to the Naval
School of Architecture at South Kensington, he said the
founding of that institution three years ago supplied the
great want that bad previously existed. The course of
training extended over three years, and the time of the
students was equally divided between the mastery of the
principles of science, calculations, geometry, physics and
all that concerns the theory of naval architecture
on the one hand, and on the other practical study and ob-
servation in the workshop, the dockyard, and the factory,
where they saw how dead matter was made to obey the
will of the designer, the maker and the user. The school
contained • lecture-room, a chemical laboratou, and a
library, as well as • museum of naval models and mecha-
nical inventions. Alluding to the dockyards and ship-
building establishments he advised the students of naval
architecture to avail themselves of the practical knowledge
to be obtained in such places, and to learn everything
relating to handicraft. At the conclusion of the paper Mr.
Reid, the chief constructor of the navy, stated that in the
dockyards the students from the school of naval architec-
tare, got every assistance to enable them to acquire the
practical knowledge which they so much needed. He was
satisfied with the theoretical teaching in the school at
I South Kensington, the success of which, he said, was in a
great measure owing to the eminent fitness of Mr.
Idersefield, the principal. Mr. Mersefield, in the
course of some remarks, complained that our schools
did not give the education required by youths intended
for practical professions, and expressed the opinion that
I the learning acquired at Eton, Harrow, Winche-.ter, ke..
was only fit for country squires and parsons. Papers were
then read "On Recent Improvements in the Calculation
of the Statical Stability of Ships," by Mr. Mersetield ;
"On the Practical Application of Dr. 1 Volley's rule to
the usual calculations of a Ship," by the same gentleman ;
and " On Differential Friction &sties," by Mr. It. D. Napier,
all of which were of a purely technical character. A com-
munication was received from the Right Hon. Sir John
Pakington, regretting his unavoidable absence from the
meeting. The proceedings terminated with a vote of
thanks to the Society of Arts for the use of the hall.
POOR R ATM IN POPLAR. —Thu poor rate for the
parish of All Saints, Poplar, in which there is great dis-
tress existing, was Is. 11 in the pound for the last
quarter. On Saturday Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-
court, was asked to allow and sign a rate for the ensuing
quarter of 2s. '2ii. in the pound, exactly double the former
one, and there is a prospect of a further increase. The
new rate, if it is all collected, will produce 24,0001., of
which the Fist and West India Dock Company will have
to pay 8,002/. Os. 64. for their docks, basins, warehouses,
sheds, and machinery. The whole of the last rate has not
been collected, and the distraints on poor-rate payers have
been numerous.

The Than thinks if there had been collusion between
the Emperor of the French and the Prime Minister of
Prussia, the Emperor could hardly have played into Count
Bismarck's hands more egregiously than he has done from
last June to the present day. It was the demand of the

determined the convocation of the North German Diet,

TRH SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. Patin'S.---Yeater-
day evening there was an immense congregation under the
dome of St. Paul's, probably between six and seven thou-
a..nd persons, the Right Rev. Dr. Gregg, the Bishop of
Cork, being announced as the preacher. Prayers were in-
toned by the Rev. J. H. Coward, M.A., of Pembroke
College, Carnbrid7e, rector of St. Rena's, Paul's-wharf,
and so well intoned that not a person in the vast oongrega.
tion lost a word of the singularly beautiful service of the
church. The lessons were read by the Archdeacon of
London. Bishop Gregg selected for his text words from
the Gospel according to St. John referring to the mission
of the Saviour, on which he descanted with much rigour.
Scmetimes his voice ran like a bell through the building,
striking the western door like a ball, and then being appa-
rently thrown back along the choir. Sometimes, however,
the tones of the bishop were to low that he was in-
audible a dozen yards from the pulpit, presenting
in this respect a striking contrast with Mr. Coward, whose
well trained voice reached all without any apparent diffi-
culty on his part. The bishop, as may ba imagined, was

THE PURCHASE BY THE UNITED STATES OF
. RUSSIANAMERICIA.

lIIDDLESEI BLECTION.-(THIS DAY.)

(From the New Yea Herald.)
Politically considered this cession of Russian-
America becomes a matter of great importance. It indi-
cates the extent to which Russia is ready to carry out her
e•lewk cordiakwith the United States. It involves a delicate
hint from the Czar to England and France that they have no
business on this continent ; it places the British possessions
on the Pacific coast in the uncomfortable position of
• hostile Cockney with • watchful Yankee on each ride of
him, and it involves a warning to him that his best policy
will be to sell out and leave the Pacific seaboard from
Mexico to Behring Strait in the unbroken possession of
Brother Jonathan. We know that Mr. Seward has always
had a weakness for the annexation of Canada ; and this
treaty which he has concluded with Russia is only a flank
movement for this great object. It is a step gained, a
foothold secured for closer and more decisive operations.
The Czar is now, we have no doubt, absorbed in the
Eastern question ; and he may have an Eastern programme
in view which looks more to another collision with England
and France than to an alliance with either of them. If so,
he naturally seeks a still closer friendship with the
United States ; but, whatever may be his designs, the
military advantages offered us against England in the
cession proposed are apparent in • glance at the map.
England, no doubt, had she been approached with this
offer from Russia, would have promptly accepted it, in
order to head off the United States ; but the Czar, in the
transfer of this territory, with its naval positions, seeks
rather to strengthen a friend than an enemy, in view of
future contingencies.
(From the New York Tribune.)

This morning at 10 o'clock the election of a member
to fill the vacancy in the representation of Middlesex,
caused by the death of Mr. Robert lianbury, took place on
the hustings at Brentforcl, in the presence of about 300
spectators. The proceedings were altogether of an ex.
tremely quiet character.

After the usual formalities had been observed, and the re.
turning officer, Mr. Sheriff WATZILOW, had briefly stated
the duty to be performed,
Mr. HUMPHREYS, coroner for Middlesex, rose to nomi.
nate Mr. Henry Labouchere. After paying • suitable
tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Hanbury,
he remarked that his task was an easy one.
It was well known that it would be unless for any man to
seek the suffrages of that constituency if he were not an
uncompromising and unflinching reformer, and Mr. La.
bombers was not a man who had put on the garment of
reform in order to obtain the votes of the electors. He
bad told them that he was in favour of the ballot and of
abolishing the compulsory enforoement of church rates.
As regarded the relations of capital and labour, Mr. Le-
bouchere held that, while it was right for different trades
to combine for the legitimate and useful protection of
their own interests, care should be taken that combination
was not carried to such an extent as to drive competition.
and with it commerce, from this country to foreign countries.
He brought to the constituency a name long honoured in
the liberal cause. They all knew the mom with which
the uncle of Mr. Labouchere had laboured as • member of
• liberal cabinet ; and as Lord Taunton his noble relative
still advocated the liberal cause in the House of Lords.
His father had ■pent • long and useful life as a part.
ner in one of the greatest banks in the City of London,
that of Williams, Deacon, lebouchere, and Co. He had
himself • combination of political and commercial qualities
which eminently fitted him to represent that county, and
he now concluded by nominating him.
Mr. It. Furor ac, in seconding the nomination, said he
must congratulate Mr. Labouchere upon not having to pass
through an expensive contest. He seconded him because
he believed that he would represent all classes, was •
man of good sound common sense, and would
support one who had done more to promote
the prosperity of the country than any other
living statesman—be meant Mr. Gladstone. (Cheers.)
Mr. Labouchere desired that there should be an equalise.
tion of poor rates ail over the country. (Cheers.) As
regarded our foreign policy, Mr. Labouchere had had the
advantage of passing much of hie time in foreign climes,
and if returned to parliament he would advocate a in ntral
policy on that subject—a policy which would neither
meddle nor muddle with the affairs of other nations.

By so much as Russian American is more distant, kw.
cessible, and inhospitable, would it be more costly than
either of our most recent acquisitions. The mere sugges-
tion, which is put forward at least semi.officislly,
that the ipecupation of Russian America will be
a sort of menace to Great Britain by interposing
between her American possessions and the Pacific, ought
to condemn the whole project. We have no occasion to
be dealing with impertinences. If we want • quarrel with
that power, we can have it any day without going to the
North Pacific Ocean for • pretext. We see no rea-
son to suppose Great Britain would quarrel—how
could she? But we put ourselves in the atti.
tude of seeking ostentatiously the friendship of
• power not friendly to England, and of contract-
ing what is tantamount to an alliance for the sake
of en affront. It is the beginning—or, perhaps, not
the beginning, but rather another step— of a policy
foreign to our traditions and alien to our true interests.
We cherish a hearty good will toward Russia, but we are
utterly opposed to being drawn into any sort of alliance
with her other than commercial and peaceful. This
treaty, if consummated, will prove a dangerous prece-
dent, and a stimulus to further entanglements.
(From the New York Times.)

The great commercial advantages which would acerue
to us from possessing a number of good harbours along a
coast extending from latitude 55 to the Frozen Ocean
hardly need to be pointed. The whale trade of the North
Pacific would receive an impetus and encouragement it has
never had before. Wherever our fast-growing commerce
with North-eastern Asia extends the advantages of these
Northern porta would be beneficially felt. The lines of
commercial intercourse between our Western ports
and China, Japan, ka, that we are now opening
up, could hardly fail to profit by the additional feeders
from a new quarter which this expansion of our political
authority and commercial enterprise would necessarily
supply. But the prime gain—if it is • gain at all for a
leading power to extend its sway beyond a certain limit—
would have to be sought in the increased influence which
our government would acquire in all that affects individual
states on this continent, and the relations of the whole, alike
with Asiatic and European powers. If it is desirable to gain
an influence thus paramount, there could be no more prac-
tioal way of setting about it than by getting bold of • vast
coast-line like this of Russian America, which inclosed
with an impassable wall • section of British territory
running down from 50 dogs. to less than 55 dogs., and
gives us (beside the islands) an additional coast of over
1,000 miles on the Pacific. The advantages of the acquisi-
tion may not be without something of a counterbalancing
kind. Increasedpower and dominion bnng increased respon-
sibilities. When we hear all about the terms of the treaty, and
have weighed the question coolly and calmly, we shall know
better how to value the purchase, and how to felicitate
ourselves over having made it. Meanwhile we do not ex-
actly see how it should have come to pass, as an evening
paper has it, that in the precincts of the British embassy
at Washington, the British lion should have been heard,
yesterday, howling with anguish. Sir Frederick Bruce is
supposed to bee man of some common sense ; and if all
the preliminaries of the treaty spoken of are fair and
square, no government—least of all that of Great Britain—
need feel greatly demoralised over the transaction.

THE POLICY OF THE SOUTH.

LEITER FROM GENERAL BRAUREGARD.

General Beauregard has written the following
letter on the political situation to the editor of the New
Orleans Timms :

" New Orleans, March Z 3,1967.

" Dear Sir,—You have done me the honour to call for
my opinion relative to the action of the South under the
Military Bill. Having seldom taken any part in politic,
I do not feel well qualified to advise on so momentous a
question ; nevertheless, as the same desire to obtain
my views has been manifested from various quarters, I
shall not shrink from the responsibility of expressing
them, in the hope that they may tend to compose the
public mind, so justly alarmed at this moment. In my
humble opinion we have but one of two things to do—
resist or submit. The first is inadmissible in our pain-
fully exhausted condition. Four years of a desperate
war have taught us th►t the argument of the sword can
no longer be resorted to by us to redress our griev-
ances. We must, therefore, submit, but with that
calm dignity becoming our manhood and lost in-
dependence. Having been overpowered in the late
struggle we can submit to the harsh and ungenerous
terms of our conquerors without dishonour, and we must
adopt the least of two evils. A futile resistance would
only cause our rivets to be driven closer. We must, then,
acquiesce or leave the country. But we love too dearly
the land of our birth to abandon it in its hour of sorest
trial. We should avoid, also, bringing it, by
internal dimensions, to the condition of pour
Mexico and the unfortunate South American republics.
With regard to the suffrage of the freedmen, howe% er ob-
jectionable it may be at present it is an element of strength
for the future ; if properly handled and directed we shall
defeat our adversaries with their own weapons. The
negro is Southern born; with a little edusation and
some property qualification he can be made to take
sufficient interest in the affairs and prosperity of
the South to insure an intelligent vote. In our
future political contests with the North on protective tariff,
internal improvements, &a, the freedmen of the South
will side with the whites of the South and West,
and they will thus contribute to give us back the
influence we formerly had in the councils of the
nation. Our people should understand that the radicals
an remain in power only so long as the public
excitement is kept up. As with the turbid waters of the
Mississippi river, the sedimentary particles are kept up at
the surface only so long as the waters are in motion, the
instant the current is checked these particles fall to the
bottom. Thus will it be with the radicals when peace
and virtue are restored to the country. The conservatives
will then take the reins in their own hands, and the con-
stitutional laws of the land will once more prevail.—
Respectfully, "G. T. Broomcorn)."

There being no other candidate, Mr. labouchere was
declared duly elected.

When Booth, who assassinated President Lin-
coin, was captured, a pocket-book was found on him which
contained a diary written by the assassin. In this diary
there was the following entry :—" I have endeavoured to
cross the Potomac five times and failed. I propose to re-
turn to Washington and give myself up, and clear myself
from this great crime." It is thought that the original
plan of the conspirators was abduction and not assassina-
tion, and that what Booth meant to say was that he in-
tended to reveal by whose instigation the plan was altered.
The journeymen hairdressers at Paris have
struck for an increase of wages, and in particular, to cease
work at Bin the evening on week days and 4 in the after-
noon on Sundays. The masters, it is said, would not
object to this reduction of time on the Sunday, but refuse
positively to accede to the condition concerning the other
siz days.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said—Electors and non-electors of
Middlesex—l now stand before you in the honourable
position of your representative ; and, having taken the
place of your late member, Mr. Hanbury, I think
the best course I can pursue in order to deserve your good
opinion, is to fallow as closely as possible in his steps, never
forgetting the example which he set by his fidelity to the
political principles which he professed on these bust.
lugs. (Cheers.) I have felt my modesty shocked
while listening to the eulogistic terms in which my
proposer and seconder have spoken of me. I can only say,
gentlemen, that lam an bumble but sincere member of
the great liberal party. (Cheers.) I have attended meet-
ings at many important places in the county, and my
only regret is that time did not permit me to attend more,
for I wished the electors to know as much as possible
of my political views. At the meetings which have been
held I have declared my belief in the excellence of the
cardinal articles of the liberal creed, and I have given the
electors who were present an opportunity of questioning
me as far as they thought desirable. I have been ques-
tioned, and I am glad that this was the case, for it shows
that there is no apathy among the liberal electors for
Middlesex—that they would not accept a candidate
merely because he was recommended to them by ahem,
but were determined to know how he was likely to act
in parliament before they sent him there. I now appear as
your representative after having passed an examination
before the electors, and having their certificate that I am
a liberal to ths backbone. (Cheers.) It is for this reason
that I have had the united support of the liberal party;
it is for this reason that lam chosen as your representa-
tive to-day. I think the conservatives were wise
in not offering any opposition. There are parts
of this country where coaservative principles ere
in the ascendant, and they are represented by con-
servatives ; them are parts where parties are so equally
balanced that a contest is necessary at each election ; but
in Middlesex liberal opinion is so strong that a contest
would be useless. It is notorious that there is a liberal
majoiity. The liberal party in parliament and out
of parliament might profit by the example of union which
has bcen set to-day. Disunion has placed in power
a conservative ministry, and it is only by means of union
among liberals that we can put a liberal ministry in their
place. (Cheers.) My course in parliament, gentlemen,
will be a simple one. I shall support all liberal measures;
I shall be true to the principles which I have professed ;
I shall endeavour to act with those men whose
fidelity tol the liberal cause has gained for them
the confidence of the country. (Cheers.) On the subject of
reform, which is now engaging so much public atten-
tion, I will only say that if it is possible to make Mr.
Disraeli's bill a good liberal measure I will give
my vote to help it forward ; but if, notwithstanding
all the pledges and assurances which have been given, it
is nothing but • sham reform bill, I shall not shrink
from opposing it through any fear of an appal to the car
stituencies of the country. When the question of reform
has been settled, if it is to be settled, by the present mi-
nistry, the united action of the liberal party will, I trust,
reinstate in power those wise, prudent, progressive states-
men who lost othce last year ; for although I would be no
party to a factious opposition, I believe that Mr. Disraeli,
who has so long been talking about the great principles
of the English constitution, will acknowledge that
one of the fundamental principles of that constitution is
that the government of the country should be in the hands
of the exponents of the views of the majority, and not of
thoce of a minority, of their fellow-citizens. Gentlemen,
I thank you for having elected me. (Cheers.)
On the motion of Mr. It. FREEMAN, seconded by Mr.
HUMPHREYS, a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Sheriff
Waterlow, and with this acknowledgment, the proceedings,
which occupied only about half-an-hour, terminated.

COLONEL TAYLOR, MR. DILLWYN, AND

MR. 'OSBORNE.

Colonel Taylor publishes an account of his part
in the proceeding' which led to the episode in Friday's
debate. He states that he did not mention Lord Derby to
Mr. Dillwyn at all, save in a remark referring to his illness,
and of Mr. Disraeli he only observed that there
could be little doubt the right hon. gentleman
would bring the subject of the compound rata
payer before his colleagues in the cabinet as the
first opportunity, and he (Colonel Taylor) believed Mr.
Disraeli was individually not indisposed to give the Imes-
tion raised by Mr. Hibbert's amendment a candid con-
sideration. Mr. Dillwyn, half an hour afterwards, showed
the gallant colonel a written memorandum of the fore'
going remarks, to the correctness of which Colonel Taylor
assented, " observing that our conversation was a prise*
one, that I expressed my own opinion and belief only, but
that I bad no objection to his repeating what I had said to
any of his friends."

Mr. W. 0. Stanley says he only had the document is
his hands for a few seconds, and being iu no war a secret
or confidential communication, he spoke of it to several
members. He adds, " I never had any communication
with Mr. Osborne until five minutes before he addressed
the house, when he asked me if I could substantiate the
fact of my having seen such a document ; to which I re•
Idled I would if appealed to."
Mr. Dillwyn says that what Mr. Osborne read wes not
a copy of the memorandum of the conversation, and wss
substantially incorrect. He nevertheless intends asking
Mr. Osborne in parliament, after the recess, how be ob•
tamed the paper.
