Binee Saturday morale. the change, in barometrical. pressure
have been very small. Yesterday morning a diminution had
occurred in the north (accompanied by an increase in the south),
but this had almost recovered itself again by 6 p.m. Since II p.m.,
however, a fresh decrease has commenced at Nairn ; bat
the mercury ill TIAN: in London and at several southern
stations this morning. Temperature bad risen over the British
British Isles yesterday, but this morning it has again. Wen at
several stations. The winds since Saturday have remaned light
to moderate from the north wad and north ; except at Toulon,
where they are strong. The weather is cloudy, and some rain has
fallen in places.

LONDON ThirmaarrY Cora rag.—On Saturday a
special general meeting of the members of this college was
held at the institution, for the of filling up the
vacancy in tho office of presider of the council, occasioned
by the death of the late Lord Brougham. Lord Belper,
vice-president of the college, presided. The only candi-
date for the office was the eminent historian, Mr. George
Grote, D.C.L., LL.D., F.R.S., who was nominated by the
Hon. Edward Hominy, and eleven other fellows of the
college, in accordance with the regulations. The nomi-
nation was unanimously seconded by the canned. The
chairman explained very briefly the objects of the meet-
ing. He said that as there had been only one gentleman
nominated for the office it would not be necessary for
the meeting to go through the formality of a ballot, and
under these circumstances it became his duty to declare
Mr. Grote du elected as president of the council. (Cheers.)
He congratulated the members of the college upon se-
cthe services of a gentleman so highly qnali in
eepect for the office to which he had been elected
(Cheers). Mr. Grote, who was received with renewed
cheering, thanked the meeting for his election. He need
not say that he was deeply sensible of the honour
which they had conferred on him, and that he very
thankfully accepted the office. At the same time he
wished to state that it would have given him more
pleasure if they had nominated him as vice-
president, and elected Lord Belper as president.
He would gladly have co-operated with the
noble lord in that capacity, knowing how eminently fitted
be was for the office by his distinguished abilities, his
great practical knowledge of the working of the institu-
tion, the active interest he bad always displayed in its
welfare, and the diligence with which he bad always
worked in its support. Mr. B. Hutton said that, as one of
the oldest members of the university, he desired to ex-
press his warmest approval of the appointment of Mr.
Grote, and to congratulate the members upon their choice
of a president. A vote of thanks was then passed to the
&Airman, and the pcoosedings taminatad.

THE

which had not been returned with the depositions, and
to which, therefore, he could not refer. There was
another charge, reeard•nß which he was also somewhat
in thu dark, the defendant being Sarah Rachel, or Lover-
son. The statement of the proeocutrix was that she had
wane communication with the prisoner, by whom
the was told Lord Banelagh was in love with
her and was anxious to marry her, and that
abe (prorecutriz) placed in the hands of the prisoner
a sum of money which was to be given to Lord Banda&
for Volunteer purposes ; but on oroes-examination a great
number of letters were read, on which a good deal of
reliance seemed to be placed. The question was whether
the money was puled with on the representation referred
to, because that representation was untrue ; of that there
could be no doubt. There seemed to have been accounts,
however, between the prisoner and the proem:lntel', the
nature of which would depend on the documents. The
Recorder then referred to some minor cases, and the jury
retired.

THAI GABS OP WED BRAPTEBBIDIT AND ure E7NWAIID.
The public will remember that a charge has for a con-
aide) able time been standing upon the files of this court
against Mr. Robert Short Waters, formerly steward to
the Earl of Shaftesbury, of having embea4ed a very large
sum of money, the property of his noble employer, and
the indictment, sifter a number of adjournments, was
specially fixed for the present sessions.
Mr. Greene now applied to theoourt to allow the recog-
niftiness of the Earl of Shaftesbury, and also those of
defendant, to be discharged, intimating at the same time
that it was not the intention of the prosecution to proceed
any further with the chargo of embezzlement.
The Recorder, who appeared surprised at the applica-
tion, inquired of the learned counsel the grounds upon
which he was instructed to make it r
. . .

Mr. Oceans replied that he Lad not received any in-
structions further than to make the application that the
recognisance. of all parties should be discharged.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, who appeared for the defence, said
he had an objection to the application being granted.
The Remdm said he could not consent to the reeognl-
MUM' being discharged without some further information.
The Earl of Shaftesbury was bound over toproseoute, and
it appeared a very extraordinary application now to ask
that the recognisance" should be
Mr. F. H. Lewis reminded the codasurcrEt the applica-
tion was made on behalf of the prosecution.
The Recorder said at present he certainly did not feel
bein acceding to the request, and the matter must
be brought before the judges later in the session.

MARtLEBONE.

Philip Redwood, aged 19, residing in a lodging-house in
Flower and Dean-street, Whitechapel, described as a mu-
sician, was charged with riding on the Metropolitan Rail-
way from Moorgate-street to Westbourne-park Station,
without paying his fare (4d.).
Inspector Gibbons watched the case on behalf of the
company.
William Hawkswood, station porter at Westbourne-
park, said that on the arrival of the 8.30 p.m. train from
the City he noticed prisoner come out of a third-class car-
riage with a concertina. He closely watched him, and
noticed that instead of presenting his ticket and go out
he loitered on the premises, and on the arrival of the Ken-
sington train, which was on its way to the City, he at-
tempted to get in. Witness stopped him and asked him
for his ticket. Prisoner produced an old ticket, and was
ten into custody. Eighteen old tickets were found upon
The inspector said that the prisoner was one of a num-
ber of lads who rode on this line playing concertinas and
accordions and collecting halfpence from the passengers,
and many oomplainta had been made to the company.
These lads rode up and down, and in many instances it
was believed that they did not pay.
Mr. Mansfield fined the prisoner 10s., or seven days'
imprisonment.

Mr. John Baxter, one of the santiary inspectors for the
vestry of Lambeth, attended before Mr. Knox to obtain
his order for the destruction of a quantity of mackerel,
which was totally unfit for food.
The inspector said about 1 o'clock that morning a
oostermonger, named James Davies, brought a pad of
mackerel to the Veetry-hall, which was found to
be in a putrid state. Caves of the kind were very Unguent.
and required the utmost vigilance on the ptrt of the
sanitary officers to check. The fish now eought is be con-
demned was bought at Billingsgate market twit morning,
at 0.0106.1.

THE GERMAN RIFLES FESTIVAL.

The leading columns of the New Free Press of
Vienna are filled with a festal song of greeting to
tho members of the Gorman Rifles Association now
assembled in Vienna by " Anastasius Grun" (Count
Antony Alexander von Aucraperg). The first fes-
tival of the association was held in Frankfort,
under the auspices of the Duke of Coburg. The
second was hold in Bremen, and the third is now
Leing held in Vienna. No fewer than 300 targets
lave been eroded, and the sum laid out in pro-
' aretion amounts to more than 20,0001. Mombers
from all parts of Germany flocked to the festival
300 from Munich, 400 from Frankfort, 500 from
Stuttgard, from 1,500 to 2,000 from Saxony,
10,000 from the Austrian provinces. Largo con-
tingents have oome from Switzerland, Belgium,
Alsace, Lorraine, &c., &o. The Germans of
Alexandria have sent 1,000 florins to tho com-
mittee, the German colony of Puerto Rico a silver
drinking horn.
The Germane in Paris have got up a subscription
for a prize to the rifle marksmen at Vienna. It
consists of a silver cup with stand and cover, and
weighs altogether Mbs. Two angels, one on each
side, form the handles
,; and on the surface be-
tween them is the inscription—on one side " The
Germans in France to their brethren in Vienna,"
and on the other, " For the 3rd German Federal
Shooting Match, Paris, July, 1868."
At the banquet given to the Rifles Giskra, the
Austrian Minister of the Interior, in reply to a
toast given by Mittermayer, of Heidelberg, said :

Youbave honoured byan enthusiastic toast themen who,
honoured by the confidence of the Emperor, and possessing
the confidence of the people—(bravos)—are now directing
the government. These men have undertaken the task in
the confidence that Austria, though severely tried, was
not yet dead—(loud cheers)—in the conviction that this
great power was but ill from false maxims of government
—(bravos)—in the conviction that Austria may be-
come a giant if she has her arms free—those arms which
have been tied by ignorance and unfortunate treaties.
(Prolonged cheering.) They know that it is only by
loosening these old fetters that she can put an end to the
compression of her intellectual and economic life, and they
are persuaded that Austria can recover her strength on the
hos road of progress. As Austria is to-day, thanks to the
Emperor, one of the freest States in the world—("true,
true ")—Austria will become, by the policy of progress
which her government is pursuing, that which you all
desire. (Prolonged applause.) Assured of all your
assent, I drink, therefore, to the future of Austria re-
newing her youth in the path of program. (Enthusiastic
cheers.)

THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

Mr. George Keeping, of St. Mary-at-hill, wine cooper,
was summoned before Alderman Lusk, M.P., for suffer-
ing a ferocious dog to be at large without being properly
muzzled.

Police-constable Sheen, 766, said that on the 20th of
July, about 10 minutes past five o'clock in the afternoon,
he was running down St. Mary-at-Hill, after a passer of
base coin, when the defendant's dog flew at him, caught
him above the hip, and bit through his coat and shirt
into his flesh, causing it to bleed. He went to the hos.
pital and had the wound cauterised. The next day the de.
fendantcame to him and raked him if he was the man his
dog had bitten, and he replied that he was. The defendant
then asked what damage he had done, and he told him
that his coat and shirt were torn, and he was bitten in the
side as well. The defendant then asked if he could not
settle it, and he said no. that it must go before a magis-
trate, as he had been cautioned before.
Alderman Lusk held that a dog not effectually muzzled,
according to the spirit and meaning of the order of the
Commissioner of Police, was not muzzled at all. It was
absurd to put an useless piece of leather on a dog's mouth
and call it muzzled. He considered it a very bad case, and
should fine the defendant 40s. and costa.
The fine and cods were paid.

INTELLIGENCE FROM

(Rstrrzz' e TELEGRAMS.)
FRANCE.

PARIS, Jur: 29.
Judgment has been given to-day in the case of
the United States government and M. Armand.
The judgment states that the contracts of 1863
contained no stipulation leading to the supposi-
tion that the order for the vessels had been given
by the Southern States ; that consequently it was
useless to examine if the vessels were destined for
service in the China 8088, or if the vessels had been
constructed in violation of the French declaration
of neutrality of 1861. The court c msidered
that the United States had not established
the fact of the sums paid to M. Armand
being their property, nor that such sums came
out of the treasury of the Southern States.
The court, therefore, condemned President John-
son to pay the expenses of the suit, and declared
that documents abstracted by a dishonest servant
could not serve as the basis of an action, and
ordered their suppression, and also the suppression
of various passages in the bill of plaint. The court
especially declared to be unfounded that
in which M. Armand is accused of haviniga=l:
use of his position of deputy to deceive the Mi-
nister of Marine. In the cross action brought by
M. Armand, the court has granted him damages
and interest.

IN the HOTTRZ of Loins, the Earl of Ta.wais-
viLts brought up her Majesty's reply to the ad-
dress of their lordships on the attempt to assassi-
nate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Earl of IrlAr.vcssou appealed to
Lyveden, who had a notice on the paper respecting
the recal of Governor Darling, the governor of
Victoria, to defer his motion for a day or two, in
consequence of the vote come to in the House of
Commons on Thursday evening.
Lord LTVEDLN consented to postpone the mo-
tion until Friday.
The Earl of Lionrim.o, in postponing the se-
cond reading of the Friendly Societies Bill, said he
wished to remove a misapprehension entertained
by some petitioners against the bill, that it inter-
fered with their right to insure the lives of their
children. It did not do that, but one of the
clauses prevented strangers from insuring the lives
of children under seven years of age. He had no
objection to refer the bill to a select committee on
the understanding that the inquiry was restricted
to the clauses of the bill. He intended on a future
occasion to move for a commission to inquire into
the whole subject of insurances of this character
by friendly societies and public companies.
On the motion of the Earl of hlatsirserar the
select committee on the Compulsory Church Rates
Abolition Bill was nominated.
The Oyster and Mussel Fisheries Bill and the
Local Government Supplemental Bill were read a
third time and plumed.
Several other bills were advanced a stage, and

The last performance of the season—ea extra
concert—took plate last night, when Jisj rA was given ;
the principal solo vocalist. being Mille. Carols, Madame
Sainton-Dolby, Miss Jolla Elton, Miss R. Henderson, Mr.
Siam Reeves, and Mr. Santley.
The present season (the thirty•oixth) of these cetoerts
commenced on the 2/nd of November last with a per-
formance of the oratorio which last night clued the
series—a work now jnitly standing almost as high is
public estimation as the AltatiiA, and especially worthy id
snob clog* by a society which has been so largely instru-
mental in extending our knowledge and appreciation of
the sublime meted works of liendelmolui. The series of
concerts just terminated has consisted of thirteen perform-
ances, that of December 13 having been the fire hundredth
given by thin flourishing society in the great room of
Exeter-hall : the oratorio chosen on that occasion having
been Mr. Costa's A'somats—an appropriate and deserved
tribute to the high merits and worth of the excellent con-
ductor whose exertions have so largely contributed to the
mums of the Sacred Harmonic Society.
Of last sight'. performanea little need be said beyond a
general recognition of its admirable efficiency, the details
being similar in most respects to those noticed by us on
forum occasions. Mr. Costa was warmly greeted on his
eppeumnees at the essiestetos de*, by an sedles* which
crowded every part of the hall.

THE INTERREG.V UM.

Oulu ministerial contemporaries, we are de-
lighted to observe, have contentedly and cheerfully
awed to threaten the House of Commons and the
country with a penal dissolution since the division
of yesterday morning. It would be .n insult to
their habitual sagacity and prescience to suppose
that the result of that division disappointed their ex-
pectations. Their language, indeed, ap to the
last moment was not altogether such as to prepare
the party out of doors for the certainty of defeat.
But d Is guerre comme d la !rune. When an
army is determined to fight a losing battle
it is only right and proper that the General should
keep up the spirits of his troops by assuring them
of victory. At any rate, when the grey light
of May morning found the Pandits on
his legs, proposing an adjournment of the
House till Monday in order to give the
Government leisure to reconsider its rela-
tions with the House of Commons, the nightmare
of a dissolution had vanished away, and the ques-
tion between the Government and the House be-
came one of resignation of office or resignation to
defeat, on terms which the Government might be
persuaded to offer, and the House to accept, in de-
ference to the wishes of her MaJasey, to the state'

Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill

THE TROTEETOR lENDOWSINT LOAN AND ANNUITY EOM-
PANT r. THE KARL PITZHARDINOZ.

Mr. Archibald, by way of an appeal from a decision of
Mx. Baron Martin, at Chambers, moved for a rule calling
upon the defendant to show cause why interrogatories
should not be exhibited to him. The action was upon a
bond, to recover from the defendant 4,3121., money lent
to Colonel Hugh Bailey ; and the bond had been exe-
cuted by the defendant as surety for the colonel. Ten
months after the date of that bond Lord Fitzhardinge
executed a deed of arrangement with his creditors,
and this deed was pleaded in answer to the action.
To the deed the plaintiffs replied that many creditors were
induced to execute it by misrepresentation, and also by
concealment of facts by the defendant, that without
reckoning these persons there wan not a sufficient number
of assents, and that many of the debts were in respect of
gaming and wagering upon horse-Isom. The composition
propose.' to be paid was 7s. Ed. in the pound. An
epitome of the defendant's circumstances had been published
and it stated that Lord Fitahardings's debts. secured sad
unsecured, amounted to upwards of 000,0001. ; and as tel
the expectations of the defendant, who was then Colonel
Berkeley, it was stated that he had a reversionary in-
terest, expectant upon the death of his father, on estates,
the gross rental of which was 56,0001. a year,
and the net rental about 44,000/. These estates
were referred to generally; and it was suggested li
by the plaintiffs that there were other estates which were
not included in the statement, and it was proposed to in-
terrogate Earl Fitzbardinge as to the matter. It was also
proposed to interrogate him as to a large amount of
debts which were said to be gaming and wagering
debts. After the defendant executed his deed, Colonel
Bailey also made an arrangement with his meth.
tors, and Earl Fitzharding appeared in the statement
US a creditor of the colonel for 100,000 f. This debt did not
appear in the epitome of Earl Pitshardinge, and it was
proposed to interrogate him as to it. The learned counsel
stated that at chambers Mr. Baron Martha said that
Colonel Bailey had ruined Earl Fitahardinge, and Hist
otooey enough had been had from him, and he summarily
dismissed the application.
Mr. Justice Byles asked whether the proposed interro-
latones did not so directly or indirectly to criminate Earl
bitihanlinge ? It looked very like a suggestion of oonspi-
tui with other persons.
, Mr. Archibald said that he should be very sorry to lat
it in that way.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

THE PRESENTATION OF M. JULES FAVRE
TO THE EMPEROR.

(room ova owx COBEF.IIPONDINT.)

PARIS, MoNDAY EVINING.

The rumour that M. Jules Favre would claim
Ihe benefit of the precedent act by M. Berryer, and
Iwg leave to be excused the ceremony of presents-
to the Emperor, was unfounded. The pre-
sentation prematurely announced a week ago took
place yesterday at the Tuileries, just as the Em-
peror came from mace. M. Jules Fevre, in aca-
demical coetume, and bearing in his hand a hand-
swuely bound copy of his reception speech to give
to the Emperor, as the custom is, was presented
by M. de Remusat, the director of the Academy,
M. de Sacy, the chancellor, and M. Villemain, the
perpetual secretary. A very short, and, of course,
perfectly courteous conversation ensued. The Em-
peror first addressing himself to M. de Remusat,
said it ass a long time since he had seen
him—not since they were in the habit of
meeting at the Elysce, in troubloce times.
" And you," said his Majesty to M. Jules Fevre,
" the last time we met was at Chalons." (The oc-
tasion referred to was an interview demanded
by M. Jules Favre of the Prince President, to ask
pardon for a convict named Douesnau.) The
Emperor then said he deeply regretted the death
.1 M. Cousin, who was a very distinguished and
patriotic man. M. Jules Fevre replied, " Sire,
happily, men like M. Cousin do not altogether
die. They survive in their works, and the philo-
sophical teaching with which M. Cousin's name is
associated will remain." The Emperor rejoined,
"That is true ; his teaching was one of the glories
.4 France." This is nearly all that took place ; the
Emperor was hurrying away to the races. M. de
saey, who is now an imperialist and a senator,
tt rained talking with his Majestyfor some minutes
after the other academicians retired from the
presence.

THE MINISTERIAL EXPL.4N.ITIONS IN
THE LORDS AND COMMoNS.

THE parliamentary annals of the last three years
have been filled with great occasions. The House
of Commons is making history, if it is not making
revolution ; and night after night the galleries set
apart for eminent strangers are filled with all that
is notable in rank and social position. Last night
princes and peers, bishops and ambassadors,
crowded each other, over the clock and under it, to
listen to Mr. Di ERAELI's narrative of what had passed
at Osborne, and his statement of the course which
in consequence the Government intended to pur-
sue. The Prince of WALES was in the place which
he usually occupies, in order to learn, perhaps,
whether the great magician was ready with any
healing medicaments to redeem the Throne and
the Royal Supremacy from the mortal blows in-
flicted upon it by the ruthless hands of the
Opposition leader. Prince Outlaw; was there to
testify anew that interest in his adopted country
to which be gave graceful expression the other day
in his speech at the Royal Academy dinner. Peers
spiritual and temporal sat cheek by jowl, typifying
the alliance of Church and State, and foreshadowing
in their melancholy countenances the fate
which, in their view, impends over both.
Lord SALISBURY looked on, regretting, it
may be, the invisible barrier, more powerful
than any circle drawn by magician's wand,
beyond which his steps might not press, and
deploring the silence which his tongue must keep,
muttering, perhaps : An ego auditor tantunt?
Nuttquatnew reponant ? As with the States-Ge-
neral of France in 1789, the three Estates
practically met last night in the same
Chamber, though the power of deli-
beration was with one only. When
Mr. DisitAzu entered the House, the cheers which
greeted him betokened the highly wrought expec-
