CABINET COUNCIL. —Summonses have been
issued for a meeting of the Cabinet Ministers tomorrow,
at Lord Palmerston's official residence in Downing• street.

HERR ERNST has addressed to us a eommunica•
tion, in which, speaking of Herr Joachim's phrase " dear
master," the former explains that phrase in no way to
signify the fact that Herr Joachim was his pupil, the
expression having been gracefully employed by the brother
artist as an indication of his homage for Herr Ernst's
mastery of his art. Herr Ernst also adds that he should
have been proud to have had for his pupil one of the
most distinguished representatives of the musical art, and
one who stands alone in his peculiar style as a violinist.
YES OR No ?—Let Mr. Stansfeld reply to these
questions, says the 'Standard ;—Did Joseph Maz-
zini write that account which was published of his famous
interview with Gallenga ? Did he hear his proposal to
stab the King of Italy ? Did he provide him with money
to carry him upon his nefarious errand ? Did he coldly
argue with him, as he says, upon the point, whether or not
the time selected for the bloody deed were propitious ? Did
he point to the knife with the handle of lapislazuli, " which
he much prized," and bid Sciandra take it ? Did he not
know it was to be driven into the heart of Charles Albert
whenever an opportunity occurred ? If he did he was as
guilty of plotting a deliberate, cowardly, and infamous
murder as Lady Macbeth was of conspiring to slay King
Duncan. If he did not, let Mazzini disavow his own nar-
rative; let Mr. Stansfeld exonerate him from having
written it ; let him stand forward " upon his honour and
conscience," and declare that the criminal, wicked, das-
tardly scheme was never plotted. When he does this, vio
will take him upon his word ; until he does it, a mystery of
prevarication remains, which not even the tesaimonial or
the speech at Halifax will dissipate; for that knife which
Mazzini gave to Sciandra, wherewith to murder 0, mare
suffice to refute whole columns of braggart declamatioa•
MR ROEBUCK AND THE DUKE OF ARGYLE AT
SHEFFIELD.—At a public meeting held in the hall
of the Mechanic's institute at Sheffield, on Wednesdays
his Grace the Duke of Argyle and Mr. Roebuck addressed'
a numerous audience on the occasion of the assembling of
delegates of the Yorkshire Mechanics' Institute. The
Duke of Argyle, in a long and eloquent speech, which WO
frequently applauded during its delivery, and which at its
conclusion elicited the most enthusiastic and long continued
signs of approbation, treated mainly of the probable in-
troduction of a larger measure of Government ago*.
towards the education of the working class. Mr Roebuck
followed in the same line of argument, declaring his
opinion that the State ought to be, and before DI
would be, extensively introduced for the purpose °
facilitating the education of the working poor. He also
referred to the introduction of the Factory Act, which $0.14
regarded at that time as an interference of the State betweela
the employer and the employed; but he said that observe''
tion and experience taught him his error ; that as soon s'4
he had seen reeson to change his mind upon that important
question, he got up and delivered his recantation in tir
House of Commons; and that when he had done Boy
late Sir James Graham laid his hand upon bis (ilr. Wei;
buck's) shoulder and said---" I am glad that you have read
your recantation, and 1 will read mine to-auorrow." (I1°;
hear.) al r. Roebuck complained of the apathy of the enaste
class of Sheffield and its neighbourhood with respect to the.
many admirable organisations for introducing intellectual
pleasures to their workpeople.

thunder, heavy storm of _lghtni

on Monday afternoon last. The rain was heavy at Halifasry
Otley, and Harrogate, and in the neighbourhood of these
towns. The visitation was also heavy in Swaledale, in the
North Riding and the river Swale became suddenly "701101
