BERLIN, JULY 31, EvErnita.
The Official Gazette of the evening, referring to
General Della Marmora's speech upon the Prus-
sian report of the campaign of 1866, says that
Count Usedom's note to General Della Marmara
was neither authorised nor approved by the Berlin
Cabinet. The Gazette adds that the text of that
note can consequently afford no safe basis for in-
ferences as to the political intentions of the Prus-
sian government.

TEE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE AT LIVERPOOL.
—The Rev. S. R. Hall, President of the Conference, took
the chair at the session yesterday. The daily record was
read bythe Rev. H. W. Williams. The business of the
conference wasthen proceeded with as follows :—The Rev.
W. Arthur, M.A., moved a resolution to the following
effect:—" That the cordial and tewm-tful thanks of the
conference are due, and are hereby tendered, to the Rev. J.
Bedford (the e:-president) for his zealous efficient, and
indefatigable services during the pant year.' Mr. Arthur,
in medung to the resolution, dwelt particularly upon the
vrisdom of Mr. Bedford's conduct in relation to the great
political and ecclesiastical movements of the past year.
The resolution wasseconded by the Rev. John Lomas, and
supported by Dr. Osborne, Dr. Scott, and others. A vote
of -thanks was also passed to the Secretary of the Con-
ference, the Rev. John Farrar. It was moved by Dr.
Waddy, and seconded by the Rev. Thomas Vasey. The
Rev. Mr. Farrar, it was stated, had ren-
dered inestimable services for the past twelve
years, and was the oldest minister on the
platform. A very encouraging letter was read by the
secretary from the Rev. W. M. Punshon, representative of
the British Conference in America. Notices of motion
were read touching the work of the stationary committee
and other matters. It was resolved that letters expressive
of respect and love should be written to the Revs. Thomas
Jackson, F. A. West, Dr. bison, and Isaac Keeling, old
and eminent ministers who were unable to be present.
Suggestions from the district meetings were then read.
At the open session of Conference on Thursday evening, a
loyal address to her Majesty the Queen was agreed to, and
addresses received from the Irish Conference and from the
French Conference, Pastor Jean Paul, 8.A., giving some
interesting details of Wesleyan operations in France.

THE NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING AT HERE-
roan.—The shooting was resumed on Thursday, and was
brought to a conclusion, so far as the Grand National
prizes are ooncenied, the same evening. On the whole it
was hardly so good as on the preceding day, but that was
to some extent accounted for by the weather' which was
bright and sunny and oppressively hot. There was a
large and fashionable attendance of spectators, including
many of the gentry of the surrounding neighbourhood,
with whom the sport of archery is a favounte pastime.
Miss Bertram, who headed the ladies at the conclusion of
the first day's shooting, still maintained the lead
throughout Thursday, although her total score
was only 309, nearly 60 under that of the pre-
ceding day.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER DON.—
Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. E. Niel=
coroner, at Warmzworth, on the body of a man
Joseph Hague, the circumstances connected with whose
death are of a peculiarly melancholy character. The de-
ceased was engaged on board a keel, named the "Sheaf,"
which, on the previous afternoon, was on its way from
Sheffield with a cargo of railway wheels. It had got as
far as Sprotborough, a few miles from Doncaster, when
Hague, who was at the helm, noticed a child belonging to
his brother-in-law, who was captain of the vessel, fall
overboard. Hague, who was passionately fond of the
child, though unable to swim, at once leaped into the
water after it. The cries of child and man, now
both in their death struggle, brought to their
aid the father of the former, who bad been
sleeping on the deck, and he immediately plunged
into the river to save, if possible, both the drowning per-
sons. He succeeded in catching hold of his child, but now
a desperate struggle ensued. His brother-in-law, with
all the desperation of a drowning man, clung to one of
chssand all three were being dragged to the bottom.
r Knott; the father of the child, managed to
shake his brother, who immediately sank, and with
great difficulty reached the shore with his child, both being
in an exceedingly exhausted state. The body of the unfor-
tunate brother-in-law was shortly afterwards recovered
and placed en board the vessel. The jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the evidence.
