LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. B, 18GG.

The presence of Mr. and Mrs. GLADSTONE at
Salisbury has been taken advantage of by the
numerous admirers of the Ex-Chancellor to present
him with a complimentary address. A public meet-
ing, which was very largely attended, was convened
by the Mayor, and the ceremony of presentation
took place yesterday in the Council Chamber with
great eclat. The address, which was brief and to the
purpose, rendered testimony to the ability and suc-
cess with which Mr. GLADSTONE had managed the
finances of the country, and paid a less merited
compliment to the "judicious measure of Reform"
introduced under his auspices, concluding with the
expression of a hope that the country may long con-
tinue to have the advantage of his " great abilities
and undoubted political honesty." Few of Mr.
GLA.DSTONE'S opponents would hesitate to admit his
claims to such a testimonal, and it is no doubt grati-
fying to him, after the storms and dissensions of the
past few months, to receive such evident tokens of
the respect and attachment with which he
is regarded by the great body of his coun-
trymen. Mr. GLADSTONE, in acknowledging
the compliment, remarked that he felt an
especial interest in that part of the country,
though unconnected with it personally, from
his long association with one whose memory is
fondly cherished there—the late Lord HERBERT.
Mr. GLADSTONE paid an eloquent tribute to his
memory, and quoted the lines—
" A sweeter and a lovelier gentleman,
Framed in the prodigality of nature,
The spacious earth cannot afford again,"

as illustrative of the richness and variety of his na-
tural endowments, and of the blank which his pre-
mature death left in the circle of his friends and
neighbours. "Happy in all the circumstances of
his life, happy in his position, happy in his descent,
happy in his domestic relations, happy in his means
of doing good, happy in his social qualities, happy,
above all, in that love and fear of GOD which were
the basis of his whole life—if he was taken from us
earlier than our shortsighted desires might have
suggested, he has left among us what may be called
a fragrant and a blessed memory." Passing from
this subject to the more agitating questions of the
day, Mr. GLADSTONE readily acknowledged the
willingness of the country at large to do justice
to the motives and conduct of its public
men. The condition of the country was, lie
observed, a source of umnL-tcd satisfaction. Not-
-withstanding the severe and prolonged monetary
crisis through which we have passed, the revenue of
the country has never for a moment flagged ; and
" although the pressure upon those interests which
are directly connected with the use of capital has,
during the last three months, gone beyond all for-
mer precedent, yet, at the same time, the demand
for labour has continued almost without diminu-
tion." Such, at least, is Mr. GLADSTONE'S verdict,
and he is no mean authority. He draws from it
the inference that the transition from a system of
fettered and trammelled to one of open and free
industry has resulted not only in the enormous ex-
tension of the commercial transactions of the coun-
try, but also to the attainment of a degree of steadi-
ness and consolidation never before known. Upon
the vexed question of the Reform Bill Mr. GLAD-
STONE could not of course be silent, especially after
the direct reference to it in the address. He did
not attempt an elaborate defence of the bill, only
remarking that the members of the late Govern-
ment were the oldest and most experienced servants
of the Crown, and therefore it was not a little
strange that the charge of haste and rashness should
have been brought against their measure. For the
future he would not pledge himself or his friends to
any particular course beyond that of a consistent
support of those principles which they have hitherto
advocated. Mr. GLADSTONE. spoke without preju-
dice of the position of the present Ministry with re-
this question, and even declined to pursue
gard to
the subject at any length, because he said it was
one which should be judged independently of any
personal consideration, and the weight of public
opinion would be disparaged if it could with justice
be said that the Ministers who have been
politically overthrown were endeavouring to inflame
the public mind. For himself and his friends, he
believed they had done their part, and the question
now rested with the people of the country, who will
no doubt take care that it does not fall into abey-

ance

Not the least interesting portion of the day's

proceedings was the tribute paid by Professor
FAWCETT, himself a native of Salisbury, to
the heroic exertions of Mrs. GLADSTONE on behalf
of the sufferers from the visitation of cholera, a
tribute gracefully acknowledged by Mr. GLADSTONE.
Such conduct is dictated by no desire for praise ;
but it is, nevertheless, right and fitting that some
acknowledgment should be made of the public debt
to those who stayed the panic and braved the
danger for the sake of relieving the anguish and
the destitution of their suffering fellow-citizens.

A meeting of the EYRE Defence and Aid Fund
took place lately for the purpose of ascertaining
what had been done, and what progress had been
made. Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE was in the chair, and
stated that 25 names had been added to their num-
ber during the last week, and subscriptions were
flowing in on all sides. He proposed very wisely
that the list of subscribers to the fund should be
announced in the daily papers, and that the public
should be invited to continue their subscriptions.
Mr. RUSKIN made some remarks which were much
to the point, and he appropriately commenced by
observing that " it was as difficult to account for
the violence of the attack upon Mr. EYRE, as for the
narrowness of temper which had given it special
direction." It is really quite a relief to meet with so
able a resume of the facts of this much misrepre-
sented case, and so clear an exposition of the cause
adopted by the Jamaica faction. The question
now brought home to the English people, as Mr.
RUSKIN truly said, was whether Mr. EYRE, under
very difficult circumstances, and in imminent public
danger, had or had not done his duty to the best of
his power and ability. As for taking the narrow
issue of the matter, which related to whether the
circumstances required more or less than he did, you
might just as -well bring a general who won
a decisive battle to trial, because it was said
that he had lost five or six men through unneces-
sarily taking up a dangerous position, or had shot a
peasant by mistake for a spy. We quite agree
with Mr. RUSKIN when he says that it might have
been very well to have superseded Mr. EYRE had he
lost Jamaica instead of saving it, but not even then
should he have been brought to trial. But, "as the
matter stands, the official removal of him from his
place was an act of national imbecility, which had
not hitherto its parallel in history." Mr. RUSKIN
concluded by an eloquent condemnation of
the selfish policy which has unhappily prevailed
among us for some time past, and which
has wrought such evil consequences in
many directions. The removal of Mr. EYRE
was the act, as this prosecution was the cry, of a
nation blinded by its avarice to all true valour and
virtue, and haunted by phantoms of both, " the
suicidal act of a people, which, for the sake of filling
its pockets, would pour mortal venom into all its
air and all its streams ; would shorten the lives
of its labourers by thirty years of life, that it might
get its needle-packets twopence each cheaper,
would communicate its liberty to the foreign na-
tions by forcing them to buy poison at the cannon's
mouth, and prove its chivalry to them by shrink-
ing in panic from a people being slaughtered
through a people who had given them their
daughter for their future Queen, and then would
howl in the frantic collapse of their decayed con-
sciences that they might be permitted to reward
with ruin the man who had dared to strike down
one seditious leader, and rescue the lives of a popu-
lation." This is an admirable definition of the man-
ner in which some persons persist in treating ques-
tions of vital importance to national character and
domestic interests, and the injuries thus inflicted on
nations and individuals are very considerable.
It is, indeed, time to show that these narrow
views do not represent the feelings of the whole
English people, but are only those of a pretentious
and prejudiced minority. Earl RUSSELL deserved
to lose the confidence of the nation and forfeit his
position, if it were only for his conduct towards Mr.
EYRE, which was, indeed, quite unworthy of au Eng-
lish Minister. Ile was sacrificed to suit the clamours
of a faction, and, as usually happens in such cases,
those whom he sought to propitiate are not satisfied
but ask for more. Mr. HAMILTON HUME, honorary
secretary, stated a few facts relative to Mr. EYRE'S
position at present. In consequence of his suspension
in January he was prevented from serving the two
months required for completing the four years'
administration of government which would entitle
him to a first-class pension, and in consequence of
his dissmissal in July he was debarred from com-
pleting the year which yet remained to make up
the eighteen years' services as Colonial Governor,
which allowed the full amount of pension. The
result of suspension and removal combined was
to put his claim in the second instead of the
first place, and to entitle him to two-thirds instead
of the full premium grantable. Indeed the Secretary
of State may declare that he has forfeited all claim
to any pension whatever in consequence of his dis-
missal ; and, even if he did not do so, as Mr. EYRE
is only fifty-one, he cannot receive any pension for
the next nine years, under the act of Parliament.
Mr. In= truly stated that he considered these
facts ought to be known, and that they only required
to be known through the country to cause still
greater sympathy to be evinced for Mr. EYRE.
We trust that there will be no want of support or
manifested in this matter, but that those who have
so earnestly taken up the cause of the oppressed
may meet with all the encouragement that can be
theirs. When once the people of this country un-
derstand a thing they are not slow to act, and the
willl-
s theyea
more they consider the treatment of Mr. EYRE, the
more
arrive at the conclusion that he has
been
If the wrongs he has already met
with are not enough, and more than enough, to
call for sympathy, the course pursued towards him
by the Jamaica Committee specially calls for inter-
ndependent mem-
ference. It is high time that the i
bers of the community should bestir themselves
to show that they are neither
,to be in-
timidated by the fierce denunciations of the
demagogues who dictate to others in so arbitrary a
fashion, or interfered with by the mischievous
meddling of perverse and prejudiced partisans.
A more unfair course was never pursued towards a
public man by those who ought to have appreciated
his devotion, and when a clique presume to take
the matter into their own hands, and continue
the persecution for themselves, nothing remains but
for the voice of public opinion to decide against
them and declare their condemnation. That such
will done we do not doubt, and indeed to do so
would be to imply that public honour and public
spirit no longer exist among us but in the record of
the past.

We arc not surprised that the dissatisfied feelings
so long prevalent in Paris should not have abated,
and indeed have increased of late. The conduct of
the Berlin Government towards Saxony has been
arbitrary and oppressive in the extreme ; and this
is a subject upon which the French feel deeply, and
more especially so as the Emperor NAPOLEON urged
the claims of Saxony with as much force as he could.
An apparent compliance to the Imperial request has
since been shown to be a feint, and really we are
quite at a loss to see in what manner the Saxons are
better off than the IlanoveriAu3. There will be no
more real liberty enjoyed, and no more prospect of

independent resistance made than if the former
were in the place of the latter. As might have been
expected the Saxon Plenipotentiaries have had to
give in in some important respects, and the fortress
of Konigstein is to be permanently garrisoned by
Prussian troops, and the military affairs of Saxony
are also to be placed under the control of Prussia.
It is thought that these were the chief hindrances in
the way of coming to a settlement ; but not the less
must the French feel annoyed and irritated.
llerr BISMARCK has treated the communications of
France with supreme contempt and indifference,
and the GovernMent at Paris seem to be of opi-
nion that some demonstration on their part may
be needed, for they have given directions that the
Chassepot rifle be placed in the hands of all the
line by the end of the year, and we are informed
that the re-organisation of the army is in contem-
plation. Besides this, a committee will inquire into
the best means to adopt for the army to be raised
to a million and a half. All these signs may indi-
cate that peace, though now certain, may not
always remain so secure.
In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies BIS3IARCK
introduced a Bill for the incorporation of the
Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, which of course
he desired to have passed without any delay. Haste
seems to be the prevailing characteristic of the
Prussian policy. The fact is, that their doings will
not bear delay, and, indeed, they are determined
that nothing shall be said about their acts. The
Belgian journals have incurred great odium by the
free manner in which they have discussed late
events, and the semi-official Gazette thinks fit to
call them to account, and warns them to be cautious
lest they are hereafter ranked among the enemies
of Prussia. However, we are pretty well used to
this sort of jargon by this time.

The arrival of the Cuba, from Halifax and Boston,
after, as usual, a rapid passage, brings intelligence
of the state of affairs in New York to the 30th
ult. President JOHNSON, accompanied by Mr.
SEWARD, General GRANT, and Admiral FARRAGUT,
left Washington on the 18th en route for Chicago,
and great preparations were made at New York
for his reception. The Philadelphian Municipality
refused to take any part in his reception in that
city, but Mr. JOHNSON can very well afford to
endure their disapprobation. His reception at
New York was most enthusiastic, and the
PRESIDENT and his suite were entertained
by the principal citizens at a grand banquet. Mr.
JOHNSON made a speech expressing his determina-
tion to carry out his policy and restore the Union.
Mr.SEwARD also spoke, and said that the press cried
for war with Mexico, Spain, and England ! Mr.
SEWARD himself has never been supposed to be
averse to the latter ; but even he must by this time
have arrived at the conclusion that the country
requires a little peace externally as well as inter-
nally. However, Mr. SEWARD did not confess to
any change in his sentiments, but turned the
pugnacity of the press to good account,
for he declared himself willing to undertake any
war which the nation required, but since the
Congress would not admit the Southern represen-
tatives, he was unwilling to go to war with one leg,
and was anxious to have the lame leg made right.
The municipality of New York intend to present
Mr. JOHNSON with an address, and the New York
Senate have passed a motion of welcome, so that
all classes will have taken part in his reception. Of
course it is not surprising to find the animosity of
the Radicals more virulent than ever in opposition
to the general feeling. Several Republican Senators
have attacked the PRESIDENT with the utmost vigour,
accusing him of sanctioning the massacres in New
Orleans, and declaring that his policy would cause
another civil war. Judging from the former speeches
of these gentlemen, we might suppose this to be the
highest compliment which they could pay him.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.

The Paris papers being entirely ignorant of the
causes and circumstances connected with the resig-
nation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M.
Drouyn de l'lluys, continue to indulge in various
speculations upon the subject. To aid them in their
conjectures they make extracts from the German
and Italian papers. Some of these journals deduce
from the fact the probability of more accord be-
tween France and Prussia. Others imagine that it
affords proof of the intention to assume a more de-
cisive attitude in regard to the Roman luestion.
The i'Vazione is of opinion that although M. Drouyn
de l'lluys had signed the convention of the 15th of
September, he might not now be disposed to insure
its execution in a manner completely satisfactory to
Italy.

The Italie upon this subject says :—" We may
consider the resignation of M. Drouyn de I'lluys as
a fortunate event for us. The Emperor, in sepa-
rating himself from that Minister, gives an indica-
tion of shaping his policy in the sense of the Italian
alliance." Some of the Austrian papers give an
opinion that the event affords evidence of a more
resolute policy as regards claims to territory upon
the Rhine. The rest of the conjectures of Prussian
and other foreign papers prove that the writers see
in the resignation motives for believing in a less
favourable attitude towards Austria, and the hope
of perfect accord between France and Prussia.
Some journals see looming in the future the revival
of the Oriental question. Indeed, for some days
past there have been rumours in well-informed
quarters of some startling point likely soon to arise
in reference to the affairs of the East.

A letter from Brescia, dated August 31, states
that Garibaldi had left that morning for Salo, after
visiting his son Ricciotti, who was better. Gari-
baldi intends to give a number of red jackets, pre-
sented by ladies, as prizes to the Volunteers who
shall most distinguish themselves in the shooting
matches.

There has been a terrible accident on the Orleans
Railway, near Saint Maixcut, between Poitiers and
Niost. Six persons were killed and nineteen more
or less injured. It happened to the Post-office
train, on its way to Paris, which was composed of
nine carriages, of which five—two empty first-class
carriages, one second class, and two third-class—

get off the rails. The cause
of the accident is not known, but an inquiry is in
progress. The following are the names of four of
the six persons killed :—M. Pascalini, gendarme,
Mdlle. Biaille, Madame Laffargue, the curate of
Nanteiul, and a custom-house officer. The name
of the other sufferers have not been ascertained.
Two of the persons injured reside in Paris, M. de
an engineer. There has
Gouzalvo and M. Grateau,
also been an accident on the northern line. The
evening before last the train, just before entering
the station at Paris, ran into a goods train left on
the line, in consequence of a mistake in the signal.
The Church of St. Louis, at Rome, where the
Emperor's fete was celebrated, is the national church
which France possesses in that city, and is a remark-
ably beautiful edifice. It was constructed in the
reign of Catherine de Medici, in 1478, under the
pontificate of Sixtus the Fourth, and was placed
under the patronage of St. Louis, King of France.
There are three naves, the centre one is ornamented
with Sicilian jasper. The chapels aro enriched with
paintings by eminent Italian and French masters.
There is the "Death of St. Louis," by Natione ;
" The Assumption," by Bassan ; " The Life of St.
Cecile," by Guido Reni; and " Le Dominiquin la
Bienheureuse," " Jeanne de Valois," by Parvocal,
and " St. Matthew," by to Caravage. The church
contains the tombs of many illustrious men, including
those of Cardinal de Beries, Cardinal d'Oseat, Jerome

d'Agincourt, and Claude Gelee, surnamed the Lorrain.
The service is performed by 12 French chaplains,
appointed for three years, and under the direction
of a rector. The present rector is Monseigneur
Level. On Sundays and fete days, at 9 o'olock,
the French garrison at Rome attends mass, and
Monseigneur Bastude gives spiritual instruction to
the soldiers.

A curious discovery has been made in the com-
mune of la Maurreime, in the department of the
Isere, in a field which was formerly a cemetery. A
very ancient coffin has been found which contains
a singular skeleton. It has neither arms nor legs,
and as there is no mark of the coffin having been
opened, the remains are evidently those of a man
who had those four members amputated.

L'Etcndard states that it has received from China
the melancholy news of the assassination of nine
French missionaries. It does not give any details.
They are Monseigneur Simeon Francois Berneux,
Bishop of Capte, M. Daveluy, Bishop in partibus of
Acone, formerly of the diocese of Mans, Le Pere
Boileau, of Bordeaux, Le Pere Doric, of Luxon,
le Pere Ranfer de Bretenieres of Dijon, le Pere
Pourtlue, le Pere Aumactre of Auguuleme, the Pere
Huin of Languer, and the Pere Petit Nicolas.
The consumption of horse flesh has commenced in
the provinces. A shop for the sale of it has been
opened at Nancy.
There is another case of three births at a time.
Madame Ges, the wife of the proprietor of a cafe at
Toulouse, has just brought into the world three
girls. Mother and children are all well and thriving.
The building of a new church is about to be com-
menced near the avenue Parmontier, between the
Rues du Temple and Fontaine le Roi, dedicated to
St. Joseph. The small church in that locality has
long been found insufficient for the wants of the
population. The style of architecture will be the
same as that of the splendid church in course of
completion on the boulevard du Prince Eugene.
The locality is a very business and flourishing
one, and was so even in the last century.
There then existed in the Rue Fontaine le Roi a por-
celain manufactory, which was almost as famous as
the celebrated porcelain manufactory of Sevres. The
director was M. Loci* who had the reputation of
demanding very high prices for the china and other
articles sold at his manufactory. It is mentioned in
the " Livre des Bibliophiles" that the Countess du
Barry wished to have her bust executed at the esta-
blishment, and M. Locre asked her 12,000 f. for the
work. The favourite of Louis XV. thought the
sum demanded was very exorbitant, and she bar-
gamed for a long time as if she had been the poorest
woman in Paris. When the bill with the price
marked upon it was sent to tho countess by M.
Locre at her request, she wrote on it, " They sell
such busts at Seves (so the countess wrote the name)
for six Louis, and he asks 12,000 f. Madame du
Barry will give 10 Louis."

The Sport, which affects to be an authority in
matters of fashion, says it has been resolved in the
competent high quarters that next season the ladies
shall appear in the fashionable world without crino-
line. I may add that crinoline is not so generally
worn at present as it was last year, and in almost
all cases the ladies have diminished the amplitude
and circumference of their crinolines. Such is the
diminution that a lady can now actually get into an
omnibus, which heretofore was a work of difficulty,
and in some cases was almost an impossibility.
M. and Madame Drouyn de l'lluys have left Paris
on a foreign excursion for a month.

The Emperor of Austria, it is said, is about to
make two visits ; one to Trieste to review the fleet,
the other to Pesth, where his Majesty is likely to
stay two or three mouths.
The Empress Charlotte of Mexico is still at the
chateau of Miramar, where her Majesty receives
various personages with a sort of official state. Iu
reply to an address from the Vice-President of the
Chamber of Commerce of Trieste, her Majesty said
that should the Emperor Maximilian make " a little
voyage" to Europe next year he would not fail to
visit Trieste. On another similar occasion the Em-
press Charlotte expressed her regret that the com-
mercial relations between Austria and Mexico had
received all the development of which they were
susceptible.

In addition to the theatre under construction at
Passy, two theatres are about to be built in Paris,
one on the upper part of the Rue Lafayette, and
the other in the Rue St. llonore, near the Palais
Royal.

In the absence of " metal more attractive" some
sensation has been created at Paris by a report that
the famous cannon of the Palais Royal, which goes
off at twelve o'clock from the heat of the sun when
it reaches the meridian, was to be taken away. The
report is not true, but some improvements have
been made in conformity with the advance of scien-
tific knowledge. It is the fashion for people to
regulate their watches by this cannon, although
it is a fallacy to suppose that it marks the
time accurately. For instance, it is in the
month of February, when there is the greatest dif-
ference between the real mid-day, as indicated by
the cannon, and the mean mid-day, as marked by
the clocks of the city. In this month of September
the clocks point to nearly a quarter past 12 when
the mid-day cannon of the Palais Roy al goes off.
It is only on the 15th of April that the clocks and
the cannon are in perfect accord. On the 20th of
October the difference will be more than a quarter
of an hour, and on the 16th of November, should
the sun shine, the clocks will be more than a quar-
ter of an hour behind the cannon. Such, at least,
is the calculation of a gentleman connected with the
Board of Longitude. A pleasant anecdote is told
illustrative of the rage of regulating watches by the
Palais Royal clock. A gentleman, who came out
of the Theatre Francais one night about half-past
11, saw a friend waiting very anxiously in the gal-
lery near the cannon. He asked his friend what he
possibly could be doing there at that unseasonable
hour. " Why," said the gentleman, "I am waiting
to hear the cannon go off in order to regulate my
watch."

Last evening the rain fell in the vicinity of Paris
quite like a torrent. During the night the wind
was so violent as to alarm many. It was a regular
equinoctial gale before its time. To-day it has
been windy. The clouds have been dark and heavy,
and it has rained at intervals. The temperature,
however, was seasonable and agreeable.

LETERARY Gossir.—The new Monthly—Miss
Braddon's " Belgravia"—will appear in October with a
brilliant staff of writers. Miss Braddon, a host in her-
self, will load off with a serial novel, " Birds of Prey,"
which will doubtless sustain the high character gained
by the author of " Lady Audley's Secret" and the
" Lady's Mile." Mr. Winwood Reade will bo there with
an article on African Discovery; Walter Thornbury,
the art-biographer, song-writer, and general littera-
tour, will be there ; with Percy Fitzgerald, whose lives of
Laurence Sterne and Charles Lamb are standard works;
and R. W. Buchanan, the rising poet, the author of "Under-
tones," whom we like all the better because he hails from the
neighbouring city, our "suburb" of Glasgow; and Morti-
mer Collins, the graceful lyrical writer ; and probably too
one or both of those accomplished novelists Anthony Trol-
lope and Whyte Melville ; and George Augustus Sala will
give his ready, rapid, racy pen to the tempting pages of
"Belgravia." Besides, all the interest of this new maga-
zine will not centre in the letter-press, excellent though
that be, for "Belgravia" will bring pencil as well as pen to
its support, and will be largely illustrated. We aro en-
titled, then, to look on the starting of this new magazine
as a nt,w phase in periodical literature ; and look forward
with pleasure to the opening days of mellow October,
which will bring into being Miss Braddon's "Belgravia:,
—Paisley Gazette.
THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AT THE AGRICUL-
TURAL HALL.—Amongst the many very meritorious
productions of which this interesting exhibition is com-
posed there will be found a very attractive contribution
by Mr. C. Thorn, brush-maker, of llalkett-street, Jersey.
It is a very beautiful copy of Bailey's " Eve at the Foun-
tain," executed in pure white marble. That such an ex-
quisite specimen of sculpture should be the work of a self-
instructed art!st is remarkable ; the more so as it is stated
to
points in the original have been most strikingly reproduced,
and nothing but high commendation of the merits of the
work is expressed by
the groups of visitors that aro in-
variably . found in this very interesting portion of the exhi-
bition. The contributions to the picture galleries aro
