LONDON, 7HURSDAY, JULY 4, 1867.

The manner in which the Prussians have treated
the Hanoverians from the period of the Continental
war of last year until now has given rise to just
feelings of indignation, and there has not been the
shadow of an excuse to set up for their harsh and
arbitrary proceedings. From first to last it has
been the same thing, the " old, old story," still of
persecution and oppression, which is ever and again
renewed wherever Prussian authority prevails and
the councils of Berlin have sway. Proofs are being
continually furnished respecting the course pursued,
and the last instance furnished is a notable one,
for it relates to the persecution of the unfortunate
ex-Queen of HANOVER. According to the state-
ment of a Hamburg Correspondent it appears
that the Prussian Government has requested the
QUEEN to accept a new suite of attendants, or else
to leave the province in three days, these attendants
being selected for her by the Government. To this
the QUEEN has announced that she cannot agree to
either alternative, because she cannot change her
place of residence except by the wish of King
GEORGE. It seems as if Count BISMARCK had
resolved not to be idle, and thus, before the me-
mory of one act of persecution has died away,
another arrives to take its place. Why, in the
name of common sense and consistency, do not the
Prussian Government rest satisfied with the immense
successes which they met withlast summer, and leave
the unfortunate victims of their triumphs alone ?
The Prussian rulers are in the wrong century of the
world, they should have flourished in those ancient
times when captives were dragged along at the
chariot-wheels of their conquerors, for acts of
courtesy and feelings of generosity are quite un-
known to them, and discountenanced by their rules
and regulations.

The unfortunate inhabitants of Schleswig have
indeed cause to regret the spread of Prussian
authority in their direction, and accounts from
Copenhagen only tend to confirm the unfavourable
impression already entertained of the affair. An
address to the KING has been moved in the sitting
of the Folkesthing, in which the conduct of Prussia
is declared to be quite in contradiction to the pro-
mises formally given. The paragraphs in the
Treaty of Prague, which bear reference to the in-
habitants of North Schleswig, have not been
adhered to in their actual meaning, and it is not to
be wondered at that indignation is felt on
one side, and disappointment on the other.
A separation of the German portion of the popula-
tion from the Danish seems to be about the best
solution of the matter, but the question is whether
it will be agreed to or not by the Prussians.
Another address of a similar nature was brought
forward in the Landsthing, and abundant in-
stances are furnished of the sentiment which pre-
vails in Denmark, and indeed it is a case which
calls for the sympathy of independent nations.

The Fourth of July is always a memorable an-
niversary. Notwithstanding the grievous changes
which the past decade has witnessed in the great
and flourishing country which dates its national
individuality from the Declaration of Independence,
it is still a great annual festival to Americans of
every degree, as it has been since the thirteen
colonies made the world-famous declaration in 1776.
And in truth they have some cause for gratification
as they review the rapid progress of those thirteen
States, and look round upon the position, the
power, and influence which the descendants of the
resolute but few and feeble settlers have obtained
in the civilised world. In wealth, in energy, in
talent of various kinds, in art and science and lite-
rature, America has shown herself to be as rich and
as gifted as the stately kingdoms and empires of
the Old World. The natural vigour of the race has,
it would seem, received fresh impetus from the wide
scope offered to its energies by the pathless forest
and untrodden prairie, and the ambition and enter-
prise of the people has been in keeping with the
mighty forces and the boundless liberality with
which nature displays herself to their gaze. Never-
theless, there are, we should imagine, few among
the most fervent admirers of American greatness
who would not admit that the present position of
the United States is full of danger and uncertainty.
The years which have elapsed since the termination
of the civil war have done little to heal the wounds
of the country, or to repair the ravages of the
terrible struggle. Under wiseraud
to avmohreee seen the
legislation we ought by this time
cultivation of the vast Southern States reviving,
trade recovering from depression, and hope and
confidence taking the part of anxiety and distrust.
We ought to see civil government once restored to
its supremacy, military power everywhere cur-
tailed, and all parties combining to blot out as far
as possible the traces of discord and rivalry. Th°
South cannot, indeed, forget its fruitless struggle,
nor cease to mourn for its desolated homes, but its
people have consented to abide by the issue, and
outwardly at least would be satisfied to resume
their former employments and industries. But in
the present condition of affairs all enterprise is
checked. The Southern people themselves exhausted
their capital in the war, and from the uncertain
and unsettled state to which the Radicals have re-
duced their prospects, it is not to be supposed or
expected that capital will flow in from the North.
The effects of all this are naturally felt Northward
as well as southward, and the Financial Minister
has openly attributed the unsatisfactory state of
the exchequer in part to this cause. The white
population of the Southern States are losing heart
and hope, so much so that they are allowing the ne-
groes to obtain an unstinted majority on the registry.
They waited on hoping for something like justice or
magnanimity; but the continued predominance of
men like ASHLEY and WADE in the national coun-
cils renders the chance of real as well as nominal
reunion every day more doubtful. The only hope
is that the extremity of the theorie3 adyoeated by

the se politicians will lead to a reaction of which we
ha ye in some places already had symptoms. Con-
fiac,ation of Southern property has long been
op enly talked of, but we now find Mr. WADE,
Ithe President of the Senate, and one of the
candidates for the Presidency of the States,
contemplating a univernal division of goods and
chattels. He takes, as he tells us, "a long jump
forward," and this jump lands him in the midst of
the regular old Chartist doctrines of "the natural
tights of man" and "a more equal distribution of
capital." But the Radicals intend to be consistent
in their principles, if not in their practice, and are
now in some parts demanding a black Vice-Pre-
sident. WENDF.LL PHILLIPS'S paper, the Anti-
, Slavery Standard, says that " the race claim that
the second office shall be filled by a negro." One
might almost suppose, if the proposition came
from another quarter, that it was made in
satire of the excessive homage paid to the negro
by the extreme party. But it is doubtless
bona fide, and it affords evidence of the foolish and
dangerous extreme to which men will push a great
and good principle. The negroes, of course, are
very willing to share the Presidential dignity, but
we very much doubt whether the general body
politic will approve of such an ultimatum.

There are elements of strife and turbulence on
every side, and it will need firm hands and wise
heads to steer the vessel through the storm. The
open differences between the PRESIDENT and
the Congress, the disputes between military and
civil authority, are fruitful sources of evil, while the
coming contest for the Presidency will complicate
everything.
American statesmen just now have troubles
abroad as well as at home. The state of affairs in
Mexico is eminently unsatisfactory. There seems
but little doubt that the brave and unfortunate
MAXIMILIAN has fallen a victim to the cruelty of
JUAREZ. If so, the Mexicans will have forfeited
all claim to European and to American re-
spect and sympathy. What course the Ameri-
cans will think fit to take upon the receipt
of the fatal intelligence is uncertain. They can
hardly pass over such an affront to their emissary
unnoticed. Mexico will be a source of trouble for
many a day yet, and its stormy and discreditable
history seems to be, growing darker and more
troublei.

From Canada we learn that Lord MONCK has
been sworn in as Viceroy, and that the harvest
promises to be favourable, so at this momentous
season of July we nray congratulate ourselves that
the prospects of our own share of the great North
American Continent are at least encouraging.

It is always to be regretted when those who pro-
fess to teach others commit great errors themselves,
and display ignorance and intolerance to an extra-
ordinary degree. Such has , manifestly been the
case with respect to the language used at Exeter
Hall, on Tuesday, by Profesior BEESLEY ; it seems,
indeed, strange that any one should so confuse
things as to pass such remarks. In referring to
Governor EYRE, he said that he was a " murderer,
whose hands were red with the blood of four
hundred men, and this man committed his crimes in
the interests of his employers as BROADHEAD Com-
mitted his in the interests of the workmen of
Sheffield." Can anything be more absurd than
such a statement, as well as more unjust ? In the
first place, no one supposes that the outrages in
Sheffield were for the interests of the workmen in
Sheffield, and by this time, in all human probability,
they have been thoroughly disabused of the notion
themselves. This mistake, however, is as nothing
compared to the other part of the statement. It
is indeed high time that all the exaggeration and
misrepresentation about the Jamaica business should
cease, for the public had enough, and too much of
it ; but it appears that Professor BEFSLY seeks to
renew the theme, looking at it from the point of
view the most extreme and prejudicial that is
possible. These remarks are mischievous in every
way, and it is quite out of character to set BROAD-
HEAD up as a hero in this manner. As for the
notion that " murder by trades' unions was no better
and no worse than any other murder," it is an ex-
traordinary one ; but it will not confer much
renown upon its advocate, nor will it tend
to improve the state of comprehension among
those who subscribe to his theories. We
should say th-lt, on the contrary, " murder
by trades' unions was, in most instances, far
worse than any other murder. In the first place,
it is premeditated, and committed without any of
those circumstances taking place which give rise
to passion, or excite feelings of jealousy and
distrust.

If anything could show the repulsive character
of these outrages more than another, it would
be the fact that some of the offenders have sought
to destroy the lives of those they have never seen,
simply because they bad acted against the rules of
the society they declared to be law. It is difficult
to understand how any one can make such remarks
as this, but it shows the importance of people judg-
ing for themselves, and not suffering themselves to
be influenced by those who confuse things, and do
injustice and injury to others after this fashion.
As for Governor EYRE, we have always been among
those who believed that he did his best in a very
difficult position, but those who disapproved of the
steps he took would not hesitate to condemn the
arguments here employed as fallacious and unsound.
It is quite out of character to compare the goings
on at Sheffield and the suppression of the Jamaica
outbreak at all ; there is no similarity between
them, and it can answer no possible end but that of
confusing people'who may not be well acquainted
with the facts, and showing the mistaken conclu-
sions at which men may arrive when they proceed
to discuss social subjects and public events in a
partial and prejudiced manner.

THE. SULTAN.—We are informed that the Sultan
has azcepted the invitation of the Secretary of State for
India, and that his Imperial Highness will be present at a
ball to be given at the new India-office on Friday, the 19th
inst. We believe this invitation emanated entirely from
the authorities at the India- office, who are using every en-
deavour tq make the entertainment worthy of the occasion,
though at the same time they regret that want of space
will limit the invitations at their disposal. The Sultan
will arrive on the 12th inst.

THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.—We have great plea-
sure in announcing that the hospitality and munificence of
a private nobleman has been interposed to protect the na-
tion from the reproach which would have been end upon
it if the course, against which we so energetically pro-
tested, had boon pursued of lodging the guest of the nation,
the Viceroy of Egypt, at an hotel. Lord Dudley, with a
public spirit which will not fail to be gratefullyappreciated
by all who are jealous of our national honour, has placed
his magnificent mansion, Dudley-house, Park-lane, and
his establishment at tho disposal of the Viceroy during his
stay in this country, and the Cabinet have accepted his
offer. We believe the Duke of Sutherland MIS also ready
to place Stafford House at the Viceroy's disposal, and that
a magnificent fete will be given there iu honour of bin
Ilighn6ss.

THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.—WC are authorised
to state that in consequence of the very alarming reports
which have reached Europe respecting the Emperor Maxi-
milian, first cousin to the Queen, her Majesty has decided
on putting off the State ball, ordered to take place at Buck-
ingham Palace to-morrow, unless an official contradiction
of the reports should be received. The Queen will, how-
ever, hold the Review in Hyde-park should no confirma-
tion arrive of the news of the Emperor's death, being un-
willing to cause the disappointment to the public which a
postponement would occasion.

The Queen has commanded (says the Owl) that
the "Life of the Prince Consort" should be forthwith
undertaken, and to the pen of Mr. Theodore Martin, the
translator of Goetho's ballads, her Majesty has committed
the tack.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Wednesday Evening.
A despatch has been received in Paris from New
York, dated July 1, which seems to confirm the re-
port of the capture of Mexico by the Juarists. It
is again announced positively that the Emperor
Maximilian has been shot. It is feared that the
news is true, because it emanates officially from the
Austrian Minister at Washington, and the Com-
mander of the Austrian steamer Elizabeth, stationed
at Vera Cruz. A court-martial sat with closed
doors on the 27th of May to try the Emperor, who
was condemned to death on the night of the
3d of Juno, and the Escobedo party took the
most energetic steps to have the sentence carried
into execution.

The _lndependence Beige, on the authority of a
despatch from Vienna, says the Emperor was shot
on the 19th of June. This statement has been re-
ceived in Paris several times, but now it has the ad-
ditional confirmation of the Memorial Diplomatique.
In the official report read at the Palace of In-
dustry by M. Rouher, there is a very just and im-
portant appreciation of the objects and results of
the Exhibition. One part of the report says :
" The obstacles which the Imperial Commission
had to overcome were very considerable. It was
requisite to transform the Champ de Mars, to raise
constructions which are the ornament of the park,
erect the palace, a vast monument, which extends
over a surface of 15 hectares, to install and class
the products exhibited, and to foresee and provide
for the wants of that immense agglomeration of
persons and things.

" The time to arrive at such a result was parsi-
moniously measured out. Only a few months were
allowed, and prolonged unseasonable weather inter-
fered with the employment of that time. The pro-
portions of the edifice, too, are much larger than
those of preceding Exhibitions. The surface occu-
pied by the Palace and its dependencies in 1865
was 15 hectares, ten hectares and a half in 1862.
In 1867 the extent of the Exhibition is more than
40 hectares, of which the Palace covers more than
a third.

The number of exhibitors, which was 22,000
in 1855, 28,000 in 1862, is now 60,000. The
weight of the articles exhibited is more than 28,000
tons. By means of the railway communication to
the Palace, however, the enormous mass of articles
were brought with the requisite celerity and care,
although the greater portion only arrived at the
latter end of March. The motive power installed
to set the machines in motion represents more than
that of a thousand horses. The hydraulic service
affords a supply of water to provide abundantly for
a town of 100,000 souls. In spite of the gigantic
labours necessary to provide for these exigencies,
the work was completed at the time fixed.
" If we be not deceived, the judgment of the
public is that success has crowned the enterprise.
Every one was struck with the conception of the
general plan and the facilities which it offers for
comparison and study. Every one approves of that
law of unity which concentrates in the Champ de
Mars the fine arts, industry, agriculture, and horti-
culture, which were formerly disseminated in dis-
tinct localities, and which now present in the same
spot all the manifestations of human activity.
" Public opinion has now given recognition of
the fact that the edifice, criticised for a moment, is
perfectly appropriate to the object of it—that opi-
nion admits that the conditions necessary for clear
and methodical classification of the nations and
their products could not be sacrificed only for a
building of a monumental aspect, and that vast
naves would have overwhelmed the articles exhi-
bited, instead of placing them so as to be properly
seen."

The report proceeds to describe the utility of the
general arrangements of the galleries, the precau-
tions used to avoid danger in inspecting the
machinery, and the skill in selecting the proper
means of placing and seeing all the varied results
of human labour. It then passes a merited
eulogium upon the labour and impartiality of the
Juries, and concludes with this eloquent descrip-
tion of the results of the Exhibition :
" Thus the Universal Exhibition has revealed
fresh results of indastry, and has initiated im-
provements which without it would have been
useless or unknown. It has brought to light that
law of the division of labour which is as produc-
tive between nations as between individuals. It
has afforded a striking consecration of those prin-
ciples of commercial freedom beldy inaugurated in
France by your Majesty, multiplied economical re-
lations between peoples, and presages for an early
p e r i period
atheproblem
money.
ne y. Thelnternational of uniformity e
Exhibition
weights, mea-
sures,has led to even more valuable consequences. It has
dissipated inveterate prejudices, overthrown secular
hatreds, and engendered reciprocal esteem. Princes
and sovereigns, attracted by a noble hospitality,
come by turns to reciprocate in this temple of civi-
lisation those friendly words which open to human
activity the prospect of calm horizons andstrengthen
the peace of the world."

\Vhat is here said is true to the letter. The
Exhibition is a ~ great fact," as the. Times once
said of the Anti Corn Law League. French and
foreigners generally, if not unanimously, re-
pudiate the strictures originally, but faintly,
made as to the aspect of the Palace build-
ing, and acknowledge the opinion given in
the report that proper classification was more

Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of Bordeaux, met

conse-
quences. While the Cardinal was officiating at a
religious ceremony he rose from his arm chair, and
one of his assistants suddenly removed it, not think-
ing that he intended to resume his seat. The Car-
dinal, however, was about to Bit down again, and in
consequence of the removal of the chair he fell with
great violence against the marble of the altar.
Great consternation arose. The Prelate was insens-
ible, but his forehead was bathed with cold water,
and he soon recovered.

An interesting ceremony took place at Bordeaux
a few days ago. M. Baroussel and his wife cele-
brated the 50th anniversary of their marriage by
the performance of the marriage rites a second time.
Children and grandchildren, forming a numerous
company, were at the wedding dinner, after which
the two old people f-ound sufficient strength of foot
to dance the " Cossack."

A mysterious lady,
" the Amazon," as she is
called, has lately excited a good deal of attention
in the Bois de Boulogne. She rides there on horse-
back every day,
and so closely veiled that no one
can see her face. The other day she alighted at a
café to take some refreshment, and there was such
a crowd that no one could enter. The lady, seeing
this, remounted her horse and dashed away at full
gallop, to the great disappointment of the curious.
All sorts of stories are in circulation in Paris about
this lady, but the only fact which seems certain is,
that she is a " great unknown," and is very rich.
In my account of the ceremony at the Palais de
l'ludustrie, I believe I omitted to state that, in
addition to the ten grouts, a new section had been
lately created. This group was
distinguiJied on
Monday by a white banner. The award to be
allotted to this section was for establishments and
localities remarkable in an eminent degree for social
harmony
and the comfort of their inhabitants.
There was no trophy to distinguish this section, but
it displayed its white banner. Its station was op-
posite to the Throne, under the tribune of the dip-
lomatic body.
