Close of the International Social Science
• Congress.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
BERNE, Sept. 4.

At the final sitting of" the International Social
Science Congress to-day the President, M. Challet
Venel, delivered the following farewell address :

" Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Con-
gress—After arriving at the close of our labours, I
believe that we may upon the whole congratulate
ourselves upon the results that have been achieved.
Among the wealth of impressions the 4th Annual
Congress leaves upon our minds one in particular
stands out above the rest. It appears as if the
week we have just dedicated to this feast of the in-
tellect has passed like a happy dream ; that from
the moment of our address of welcome until that of
bidding you farewell we have neither noted the
flight of days nor hours ; that we have lost all count
of the advance of time ; that we have in some
degree lived that everlasting and immortal life
which forms the career of the noble thought. When
we opened the Congress we were animated by a
sensation of thrilling delight. We received guests
whom we loved without personally knowing them ;
we longed to press their hands, and, filled with
brotherly feelings, to make common cause with
them. Upon bidding them farewell to-day we can-
not avoid feeling that regret with which-one regards
the end of all pleasant things in this world. We
derive, however, fresh courage from the conviction
that even when the Congress has terminated the
association out of which it sprang will continue
to exist more full of life than before. The last
storms of autumn are able to cause nature to die an
apparent death, but spring is the season when our
association will reappear refreshed and revivified.
Labourers for intellect, you have committed the
seed to the earth : let us have time to ripen the
harvest. But where shall that harvest be gathered ?
There is Germany, which needs us Germany,
which has long laid the foundation stone at the
Congress. There is Italy, which calls for us—ltaly,
that classic land, for us in a political and social
point of view the emblem of regeneration. Were
it in our power, gentlemen and valued colleagues,
we would retain you at the foot of our Alps, those
gigantic sources of grand nature in Western
Europe, in the sacred and international asylum of
liberty. But, if you wish to continue your pilgrim-
age, if we cannot hold you back, at least do not
forget Switzerland. May our Alps appear to you a
guiding beacon, and say to yourselves whenever
your eye turns in this direction, In that corner of
the earth are hearts which understand you, and
arms always open to embrace.' "

Her Majesty, accompanied by the younger mem-
bers of the Royal family and the ladies and
gentlemen of the Court, according to the most
recent advices, was to leave Coburg on the expira-
tion of the royal visit yesterday (Tuesday), and
proceed to Darmstadt, which will be reached this
(Wednesday) morning. At Darmstadt her Majesty
and the royal family (including, it is understood,
their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Louise
of Hesse) would rest the entire day, and leave this
evening for Ostend, whither her Majesty, attended
by a limited suite, will proceed to visit his Majesty

King Leopold, it is understood to be the intention
of her Majesty to rejoin the remainder of the suite

will accordingly be reached either on Friday morn-
ing or afternoon, and the disembarkation will take
