been, het said, 50 years in business, and when in
the ear'[ er part of his career he had seen great
combin s tions of masters against the men, great
relucta ; cc to instruct them, and a disposition to
keep thr 2m in a state of terrorism, he told them they
would t Jne day reap the fruits of such proceedings.
His vt ords have been amply verified in the
ascentli mcy now obtained by the Trades' Unions.
Mr. ,FACKSON spoke heartily in favour of in-
dividual, independence, and said that bad he
himself' belonged to a Trades' Union he
should never have been member for North Derby-
shire. The whole affair passed off brilliantly, and
we hol ?e that one of its results will be that masters
and vim in other parts of the country will follow
the ex ample so well set them at Staveley.

The arrival of the City of Paris, with nes,: s from
New York to the 2lth ult., informs us that several
clubs are organising at Washington, Cincinnati, and
elsewhere ina favour of Mr. JOHNSON'S re-election as
President, when his term of office has expired. It
would be a singular conclusion to all the specula-
tions and plots of Radicals and Republicans if this
effort should succeed. However, it is scarcely likely
that it should do so unless public opinion in the States
is considerably modified. The Radical influence is in
many quarters strong, and they do not scruple to
use it unsparingly. It is true that their lavish ex-
penditure has disgusted some, and their waste of the
national resources in keeping up the desolation of
the Southern States has alienated others. We may
judge from the New York Herald, which generally
espouses the popular side of a question, that the
STEVENS and ARKLET influence is on the wane.
That journal urges the President to proclaim a
general amnesty throughout the South, and to form
a new Cabinet. General GRANT, the new Minister,
is already showing his activity by discharging
numerous superfluous employ& from the War De-
partment. General THOMAS is still suffering from
ill health, which, it is expected, will interfere with
the President's arrangements. From Mexico we
hear nothing ; but from llayti we learn that several
conspiracies against SALNAVE have been discovered,
and numerous arrests made. Admiral TEGETIIOFF
had left New Orleans for Vera Cruz on board the
Austrian frigate, but for what purpose is not
stated.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORP.ESFONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.

There have been several receptions by the Em-
peror at the Tuileries. His Excellency lljemil
Pacha, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipo-
tentiary from Turkey, presented an autograph let-
ter to his Majesty from the Sultan thanking the
Emperor for his hospitality to him during his stay
in Paris. After the audience the Ambassador pre-
sented to the Emperor the splendid horses of which
I have spoken.

The Emperor has also received General Salomon,
Resident Minister of the Republic of llayti, to remit
to him a letter of congratulation from the President
of that Republic on his escape from assassination on
the 6th of June in the Bois de Boulogne.
llis Majesty has also received the Queen of Wur-
temburg, sister of the Emperor of Russia, who has
been in Paris for several days in private. The Em-
peror went to the Hotel de Bristol to. conduct the
Queen to the Tuileries, where her Majesty was re-
ceived by the Empress. Baron de Waechta, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from
the King of Wurtetnburg, was present at the
audience.

The Emperor and Empress have also received
Prince Otho of Bavaria, brother of the King. His
royal highness travels incognito under the title of
Count de Wittalsbach.

The Emperor has received, at a private audience,
Monseigneur the Greek Patriarch Melchite of
Antiocha, Jerusalem, and all the East.

On Sunday, in the chapel of the Tuileries, Mon-
seigneur Bernadon, presented to the Sce of Scus,
and Monseigneur Callot, appointed Bishop of Oran,
took the usual oaths to the Emperor. They were
presented to his Majesty by the Grand Almoner, in
the presence of M. Baroche, Keeper of the Seals
and Minister of Justice and Public Worship.
The best informed journals continue to assert the
existence of a diplomatic Note drawn up by the
French Government with a view to prove that the
result of the Salzburg meeting of the two Emperors
is eminently calculated to maintain peace. The cor-
respondence of the Journal des Debats from Vienna,
however, says that the interview embraced discus-
' Lions upon all the points which are the order of the
day, and the two Emperors agreed that France and
Austria would support an identical policy.
There was a formidable storm of thunder and
lightning throughout the whole of the south-cast
of France a few days ago. It was so dark at eight
o'clock in the morning at Montauban, that it was
necessary to light the gas. There was just such a
peculiar hazy atmosphere yesterday in Paris, but it
was not sufficiently dark to render that precaution
to be taken. The lightning did much damage in
several places. At Ville de Bourbon it set fire to
three houses which are entirely consumed. The rain
fell in such torrents atMontauban that the quantity
was equal to 1-15th part of the usual average of a
whole summer. The rain was equally abundant in
upper and lower Verdun. In the town of Verdun
the damage done to houses, corn, and cattle was
enormous. Many animals were drowned, and some
of the inhabitants only escaped drowning by great
exertions. The railways suffered considerably.
Near Bouloc, a man named Roux Pons and three
servants were conducting a cart laden with forage
belonging to the Marchioness of Puylavoque,
when the field became illuminated to a distance of
more than fifty yards and a large ball of
fire fell at ten paces from them. M. Roux
was precipated to the ground, and the shock was so
violent that the three other persons were insensible
for some seconds. M. Roux was killed instanta-
neously, but the other persons did not receive any
material injury. The thunder left no other mark on
the body than a slight wound on the temple. His
hair, however, was burnt. The occurrence took
place in the open field, at a distance from any tree.
In pursuance of the money convention between
France and Austria gold pieces of 25 francs are
about to be coined at the Paris Mint. They will
represent ten Austrian florins. This coin holds out

ordered to spread the table outside. Persons who
wish to be drawn about the Exhibition may hire a
small chaise for 2fr. an hour. The three gentlemen
each got into one of these chaises, and, being drawn
to the table where the dinner was all ready, they
kept their scats, and enjoyed the dinner to the great
astonishment of the waiters and delight of the
visitors, who were much pleased with the ingenious
device.

French cooks must look to their laurels. A
Norwegian cook has invented au apparatus which,
by a peculiar process, so economises the heat that a
chicken may be cooked in five minutes. The ex-
periment has actually been carried into effect at the

Norwegian cottage in the Park. A gentleman who
partook of it describes the process. The chicken
was perfectly done. Other things may of course be
worked in the same way.
The curiosity respecting the Zouave doctor con-
tinues, or rather it increases. The following account
of an interview which a writer in a popular journal
obtained is no doubt authentic. " When I entered
the room I was struck with the countenance of the
Zouave. Jacob said, am neither doctor nor
quack. Chance has discovered that from the one
fact of my desire to be useful I can relieve the sick.
Persons have attributed special faculties to me. I
neither affirm nor discuss these. I make no specu-
lation of them, and I ask for neither remuneration
nor gratitude. I am enchanted with the letter pub-
lished by the aide-de-camp of Marshal Forey, who
affirms that I have not effected any cures. At least
I shall be left tranquil. Remark that I have never,
even to give gratuitous assistance, made any appeal
to publicity. What Idoit is not for me to define--
that is the business of the savants and of all
those who arc occupied in considering the influence
which ono man, desirous of giving relief to another
man, may have upon his fellow.' This was all that
the Zouave would say, but he opened a drawer full
of letters, the greater part of which had not been
unsealed, and observed that he received many letters,
but he wrote very little. A person who went to see
the doctor on the 24th of August says that he
mounted the staircase with much difficulty with the
assistance of a friend. Half an hour afterwards
he descended the staircase alone, only leaning upon
the balustrade occasionally. lie was not cured, but
he could support himself much more firmly upon
his legs, and since then, leaning upon the arm of
his wife, he could take a daily walk for an hour.
Jacob has asserted that he possesses a fluid
dispersed over all parts of his body, which he
admits, however, may only act upon the
imagination. Be this as it may, the most
eminent scientific men of Paris who discuss the
subject assert that all men possess this fluid, which
some call animal magnetism, but that it exists to a
much greater extent with some men than in others.
Jacob, it is asserted by some, has this fluid in greater
abundance than hitherto known, and its power is
of unparalleled influence over all who are subjected
to it."

The Emperor and Empress will leave Paris for
Biarritz in the course of this week. The Emperor
will return to the capital at the beginning of Octo-
ber, when, I believe, it is certain that the Emperor
of Austria will come to repay the visit of the Em-
peror Napoleon to Salzbourg.
La Liberte, which appears to have a well-informed
correspondent in Spain, contains a letter from
Madrid, which states that, in spite of the alleged
dispersion of some of the insurgent bands, insur-
rectionists have appeared upon various other points.
In the province of Valencia there is great excite-
ment, and in the town of Valencia such is the fear
exhibited by the authorities that several persons
have been shot, merely on suspicion, and without
having been guilty of any overt act. La Liberti
appears to anticipate, from the tenour of its gene-
ral information from Spain, that ere long some
startling movement will burst forth at Madrid.

The weather continues extremely hot and oppres-
sive. The Exhibition is, perhaps, the only cool
locality in Paris. The visitors to-day were even
more numerous than yesterday. The Queen of
\Vurtemburg was there, and has been there every-
day since her arrival in Paris.
