PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, SKr?. 19.

The Commission of Organization which was ap-
pointed to draw up plans for transferring the
newly acquired countries to Prussian administra-
tion has finished its labours, and has presented its
report to the government.
Count Bismarck is rather better, but it is still
doubtful whether he will be able to take a personal
part in the festivities at the approaching entry of
the troops into Berlin.

A royal letter has been published to-day express-
ing thanks for thenumerous and welcome assurances
of fidelity, devotion, and readiness for every sacri-
fice for king and country, which have been ad-
dressed to his Majesty from all quarters on the
occasion of the victorious conclusion of the war.
The letter declares that the unshakeable union
between the sovereign and the people will in the
new epoch conciliate all differences and all oppo-
sition, and turn them to advantage in love for the
common fatherland, and in the accomplishment of
Prussia's mission in Germany. .

The official programme of the festivities to take
place in this capital upon the triumphal entry of
the troops on the 20th and 21st inst. has just ap-

THE POPE.

VIENNA, Barr. 19.

The Debatte of to-day says :—" We learn from
Rome that Monsignor llohenlohe embarked on the
16th inst. at Civita Vecchia for England, with an
autograph letter from the Pope to Queen Victoria."
The same journal adds that during the last few
days numerous interviews have taken place between
Mr. (Ado Russell and M. de Sartiges, the French
Ambassador at the Papal Court.

ITALY.
FLORENCE, Sr.a 19, Evx9r9,

The Official Gazette of to-day says :
" The telegraphic communication with Palermo
being intercepted, the government possesses no
direct intelligence as to the exact condition of the
interior of the city. Information, however, re-
ceived from the authorities of localities in the
vicinity of Palermo states that the royal troops
occupy the palace, the prisons, the custom offices,
Castellamare, and the port. The steam corvette
Tancredo commanded the neighbourhood of the
' prisons by means of grenades.
" The population have not taken part in the
movement. A portion of the National Guard
which had been able to assemble rendered assist-
ance to the troops.
"A good feeling prevails, and the National
Guard at Messina, Patti, Alcamo, and Termini
have offered their services to the government.
" In the environs of Palermo the citizens are
prepared to repulse any attacks from the brigands."
General Cadorna, with the Angioletti-Lonzoni
division, will shortly arrive at Palermo. Fifteen
hundred troops were disembarked at Palermo yes-
I terday, and other reinforcements have been sent
from Leghorn and Ancona.
A squadron of eight vessels arrived this morning
at the port of Palermo.
It is hoped that direct communication with the
town will shortly be re-established.
A royal decree has been issued appointing
Ge-
neral Cadorna commander of the military forces
in Sicily, and Commissioner Extraordinary of the
King in the city and province of Palermo.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MN ova OW CORIZSPOIMINT.)

PARIS, WIDNIMIDAY EVININO.

The departure of the Emperor for Biarritz is
once more upon the tapis, but uncertainty still
prevails on the subject. The Bee/smolt announces
positively that he will leave Paris this evening,
accompanied by General Fleury. The Patric says
he will go to-morrow. On inquiry at the Orleans
Railway I find that orders have really been given
to hold a train in readiness for his departure, but
no time is fixed. . . .

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.

LIVERPOOL, WIDNZF4DAT Moss, flerr. 19.
The Atlantic Telegraph expedition is a thing of
the put. The good it has sooomplished lives after
it, but its existence as a separate entity is at an
end, and its chief actors are already distributed
over the country. Captain Anderson brought the
Great Eastern from Crookhaven " by the lead,"
and timed her arrival off Holyhead to within a
couple of minutes of her sighting its light. She
reached her mooring-ground between nine and ten
this morning, and in less than an hour afterwards
parted company with some of her chief guests.
Departures have continued rapidly through the
day, and at this time Mr. Gooch is in Berkshire,
Professor Thomson in Scotland, Mt. Canning and
Mr. Willoughby Smith in London, and Mr. J. C.
Deane and Captain Hamilton on their way thither.
Mr. Clifford remains at Liverpool until to-
morrow, and Captain Anderson is expected
on shore this evening. To-morrow the
cable hands and a great portion of the crew are to
be paid off, from 8,0001. to 9,0001. being dis-
bursed in the process ; after which the Great East-
ern will be probably handed over to the painters
and cleaners, while the several directors settle upon
her future use. The Chamber of Commerce here
huldetermined to invite the chiefsof the enterprise
to a banquet, and a deputation was, it was said, to
have waited onthem to-day ; but a strong posse of
custom-hones officers, who rigidly examined all
luggage about to leave the ship, was the only visit-
ation made before the party broke up ; and how-
ever full of hospitable, good intentions Liverpool
may have been, it is certain the Great Eastern has
been allowed to glide quietly up the Mersey to her
resting-place without the faintest demonstration
in her favour. .

A man named Daniel has just been tried at
the Court of Assizes of the Seine on two charges ;
first, of embe72.ling a sum of 17,000 fr. from the
ateliers nationaux in 1848 ; and the second for
forging bills in 1864 on different tradesmen to the
amount of 210 fr. He had been tried by default on
each occasion, and condemned—the first time, to
8 years' imprisonment ; the second, to the same
period of hard labour. He, however, escaped
arrest until recently, when he was condemned
to a term of imprisonment for vagrancy and
theft at Chalons. He now appeared to take
his trial on the previous charges. In 1848,
Daniel and another man named Faucon, were
employed as clerks at the city of Paris atelier, in
the Place del'Elibpl; The latter as cashier. A deficit
of 17,000 fr. having been found in Faucon's account,
he pretended to have lent that sum to Daniel, but
it was shown that the two men resided together in
the greatest intimacy at Ville d'Avray, where they
had a country house, kept a carriage, and caused a
scandal to the neighbourhood by their debauchery.
The court now combined the two indictments, and
condemned Daniel to five years' imprisonment
and 200 fr. fine, and besides confirmed a portion of
the first judgment by which he had been ordered
to restore a sum of 18,350 fr. to the city of Paris.
The prisoner's advocate pleaded in mitigation that in
1848 sound ideas of property were so shaken that
nobody knew exactly what belonged to anybody,
and everybody thought himself justified in taking
what he could get. The argument, seeing the great
lapse of time since 1848, might perhaps have had
some weight with the court, had it not been for
the subsequent delinquencies not admitting of the
like excuse.
Admiral Persano is revising the proofs of a
pamphlet which he intends to publish on the battle
of Lissa.

WEATHER REPORT.-.THIS DAY.)

THURSDAY,

This morning at 6 a.m. a small party consisting
of Mr. Barber, one of the principal proprietors of
the great ship ; Mr. Yates, her secretary, Mr.
Shuter, the Telegraph Construction secretary ; the
bearer of a special despatch from Mr. Glass, and
half a dozen other gentlemen left in the steam
tug Victoria to meet the Great Eastern. By half-
'past seven they were on board exchanging con-
gratulations and hearing the news. So quietly I
WAS this done, that Mr. Canning and others were
still in their cabins, and unaware that a tug was in
sight) when the sounds of hearty congratulation
told *hem of the arrival of their friends. Mr.
Glass's letter was addressed to the practical
scientific men on board, and the following reply
was sent :

ILIMAIII3.
No important alterations of temperature have been reported
this morning, but the winds are again increasing from the west
and south-west on our western warts, with falling barometers.
The weather is overcast, with rain In Nam.

It is interesting to know that a couple of hours
aftelthe splice of the picked up cable was effected,
the weather became unfavourable, and that its
recovery might have been indefinitely delayed had
it not taken place when it did. The Great Eastern
came back with some two thousand tone of coal on
board, so that the search might have con-
tinued some time longer ; but all agree that both
in weather, in the change from one part of the line
to another eighty miles from it, and in the final
triumph, the soundest skill and judgment waited'.
upon good fortune. One day during the'
search Mr. Canning was startled by Cap-
tain Moriarty quietly whispering, " I'm sorry to
disappoint you ; but what you're doing now's no
use." A strong current had set in, and the buoys
placed to mark the line of the cable for grappling,
had drifted 17 miles, and on observations being
taken, the Great Eastern was shown to be this
distance from what she was vaguely seeking. The
announcement of this mishap was of course fol.
lowed by an instant change of spot, and added one
more illustration of the extreme delicacy of the work.
The Bishop of Newfoundland joined the party
at Newfoundland, and arrived here in the Great
Eastern.

We are authorised to contradict the statement
whichhasappeared in severalof the newspapers, and
which we copied from the Globe, that Lord North-
bniok was on Tuesday last sworn in as a member of
her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council.

MR. EYRE.—Sir Arthur Hallam Elton writes
to the rinses :—" Properly speaking, the Jamaica con-
troversy has been exhausted by the report of the com-
mission, the debates in parliament, and the comments
of the press. The weapons, indeed, with which Sir S.
Baker has armed himself, and which he flourishes in
the columns of the Times of to-day with an air of lofty
invincibility, are, for the most part, the broken relics of
• battle that has been decided Few would withhold
from Mr. Eyre due credit for paral)sing, ea Sir S. Baker
terms it. the outbreak at one blow.' That is not the ques-
tion. The question is whether seal, energy, and ability in
suppressing a dangerous outbreak can thenceforward release
a governor from the duty of respecting( law and justice, and
of exercising self-restraint in the infliction of punishment.
I shall not attempt to criticise Sir S. Baker's views of the
character and prospects of the African race, with which he
is so familiar. I will only observe that if the coloured in-
habitants of our colonies can only be held in subjection by
acts of lawless cruelty, debasing alike to those who inflict
and to those who suffer, the sooner we relinquish the attempt
the better. The most solid advantages may sometimes be
too dearly purchased. I have, however, more faith in my
countrymen, and more hope of the black race, than to
believe such 's
dilemma will ever confront us. I wish now
to explain to Sir S. Baker, and to those who think with
him, that it is possible for an Englishman to recognise
many good qualities in Mr. Eyre, and feel sorrow for
him personally, yet be firmly convinced that to ex-
onerate him from blame on the strength of those good
qualities would be • policy alike feeble and disastrous.
We are told that it is cowardly to strike Mr. Eyre now
that he is down.' For my own part I feel the strongest
reluctance to say •• hostile word against Mr. Eyre. But
when, instead of being ' down,' Mr. Eyre is lifted by well-
meaning friends to • conspicuous pedestal, as an English
worthy, a model of • wise, strong-beaded, impartial
governor, I call to mind the cruelties inflicted after the
outbreak in Jamaica had ceased, both on the innocent and
the guilty, and without passion or animosity—rather with
sorrow and reluctance—ern compelled to take a side, and
protest against • course that I believe rudely jars against
the moral instincts of the nation at large."
LONGEVITY OF • FAMILY IN OXFORDSHIRE.—
There are now living in Oxfordshire a sister and two
brothers remarkable for their great age. They were all
born at Bicester, and their united ages are 286 ; they are all
in tolerable health, and retain their faculties in an extraor-
dinary manner. The oldest is the sister, Mn. Hannah
Cartwright, who was 100 years old in February lest ; she
resides at Middle Cowley, neer Oxford, with her daughter
and son-in-law, aged respectively 75 and 74. Their scanty
living is the miserable pittance allowed by the Poor Law
Union, which just keep. them alive. Cartwright, her hus-
band, belonged to the Oxfordshire Militia, and wag with it.
in Ireland during the first Irish rebellion. She has been the
mother of 16 children, one of whom, the daughter above,ia ,
the only one living. The next brother is Richard Beasley,
who is 98 years of age, residing at Bioester ; the other
brother, William, aged 88, lives at Chesterton, near
BioesteL

A special meeting of the council of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday, Mr. C. K Raw-
lins in the chair, to consider the advisability of inviting to
a public banquet Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern,
and the gentlemen connected with him in laying the
Atlantic cables. The chairman stated that they had com-
municated with Sir Stafford Northwite, the President of
the Board of Trade, who had promised to preside
at the proposed banquet, if it could be arranged'
to take place on Monday, the lit October. On the motion '
of the chairman, seconded by Mr. P. H. Eathbone. it
was raeolved that the banquet should be fixed for that
date, and that the general purposes committee should be
requested to carry out the necessary arrangements. Mr.
Clark said that the matter had been most favourably re-
ceived on 'Change, and several gentlemen had expressed
to him their willingness to act as stewards. The Secretary
then read the draft of an address to be presented to Captain
Anderson, and it was resolved that Captain Anderson
should be communicated with to-day, to ascertain when
it would be convenient for him to receive the address on
board the Great Eastern.
