ing its forces, and a preliminary meeting was
held on August 31st, at which the President
was denounced. Meanwhile Mr. JOHNSON and
his suite are continuing their tour to Chicago,
receiving enthusiastic demonstrations on their way.
The PRESIDENT has been entertained at Auburn,
Mr. SEWARD'S home, where a 'grand banquet was
given, at which Mr. SEWARD introduced the Mexican
Minister, Signor ROMERO, and said he hoped by next
November the Mexican Republic would be free
from the last vestige of foreign invasion. General
GRANT proposed the health of the Minister and the
success of his cause. This is significant. Advices
from the Southern Continent state that the allied
Republics have determined to continue a retaliatory
war upon Spanish commerce, so that Spain, like
other aggressors, may be inalined to regret her ar-
rogance and injustice when it is too late to avoid

their consequences.
In the midst of all these internal commotions
and threatened disturbances abroad, there
is one record which reaches us from the
shores of America which tells of nothing but peace
and triumph. The victory celebrated is not over
foreign invaders or fellow-citizens, but over the
frowning elements ; the struggle recorded is not
against a band of angry politicians, but against the
inherent difficulties of a momentous undertaking.
The full details which have now reached us of the
landing of the shore end of the Atlantic Cable is
full of interest. The excitement and enthusiasm felt
at the spot where the great work was successfully
accomplished are vividly described. For a week
before the arrival of the great ship people flocked
from far and near to the little village of Heart's
Content, housing themselves where they could and
how they could. From St. John's, 0 miles off, and
other parts they came, and when the landing of the
cable actually took place there were crowds on
board and on shore. The Terrible had the honour
of landiug it in her boats, but the huge rocks
which fringe that stormy coast prevented any of
them from getting up to the beach. The
crew jumped into the water each ambi-
tious of being the first to bring it
on shore. The excitement and delight of all who
had taken part in the responsible and anxious duty
of laying the cable may be imagined, and when the
first messages were despatched and the word was
given that the signals were perfect from the Irish
shore the rejoicing was great indeed. The ships
fired salutes and those on board and on shore gave
answering cheers.. The enthusiasm respecting the
Great Eastern did not abate with the landing of her
precious freight, for visitors from all par ts of the colony
came pouring in. A touching incident is recorded
of one of those visitors who came among the crowds,
but who could not see the ship. A young blind
girl, led by her brother, listened with eager smile
to his explanations, judging of the height of the
vessel from the length of the ladder, of the length
of the ship from the distance which he led her from
end to end. A touching tribute to the warm inte-
rest felt in the gnat undertaking which, after so
many delays, is at last triumphant.

Marie Gallina, with whom he had lived for several
years past, and who sold wine at the Fort of
Bicetre. The dead body was found on the 22d of
May last in a rye-field, behind some houses, near
Villejuif. It was proved that the prisoner and the
deceased had frequent quarrels, and the latter had
often been brutally beaten by him. There was no
doubt that the assassin had decoyed her to the spot
upon some false pretence in order to murder her and
rob her. Her purse, which had contained 50f.,
was traced to the prisoner. Several mortal wounds
had been inflicted with a hatchet or other cutting
instrument. Bussiere confessed the murder, the
motive for which, he said, was jealousy. He was
sentenced to death.

Another clever female thief has just made the ac-
quaintance of the police. She is what is called in
French slang a cambrioleuse, that is to say a woman
who steals from rooms. Miss Clementine, the female
thief in question, follows her vocation in this way.
She goes into houses with a basket like the girls
who take home linen from the washerwomen. She
knocks at the door of a room. Should the occupant
be at home, she makes an excuse and says she has
mistaken the floor. If there be no answer, a result
which leads to the most profitable game, she enters
the room by means of a false key. Clementine had
been watched, and on Saturday when she had been
cambriolising in the Rue de Temple, the door-keeper
stopped her as she was going out and asked her to
whom she had been up stairs. She became confused.
He looked into her basket, which contained a
valuable clock, which it was ascertained belonged
to a lady in the house who was absent. On search-
ing Clementine's lodgings a great quantity of valu-
able miscellaneous property was found ; all, no
doubt, the produce of the washerwomen dodge.
The Italian Opera will open on the 2nd of next
month with the " Sonnambula," of course with
Adelina Patti as the Heroine. The director, M.
Bagier, has issued an attractive programme of the
season.

The cholera has been rather fatal at Bou-
logne-sur-Mer. It does not now excite alarm.
The number of deaths from cholera is now on the
decline, and at the last account it was at the rate of
1 out of 7,000 inhabitants.

The weather is excessively rough and stormy.
The rain came on with great violence about one
o'clock this morning, and continued, with little
intermission, until nine. It began to rain heavily
again about two p.m., and there was a slight storm
of thunder and lightning soon afterwards. At post
hour the weather was of a threatening character.
There was no material fall in temperature.
The Emperor went out shooting to-day in the
forest of Compiegne._ It is now said that his Ma-
jesty will not leave for Biarritz until Thursday
next.

REFORM MEETING IN BERMONDSEY.—Last night a
meeting, composed of some 7,000 persons, was held
on a piece of land near the Spa-road Railway Station, Ber-
mondsey, in connection with the Reform League. The
vrrious district bodies were collected and marched to the
ground headed by bands of music, and the principal speakers
and members of the League were accommodated in two
vans, from which to address the assemblage. Mr. T. Ellis
was called to the chair, and briefly opened the proceedings
by pointing out the great need for combination. Mr. Hand-
ford (secretary to the Bermondsey branch of the League),
alluded at great length to the late defeat of the Reform
Bill, and in conclusion moved, " That this meeting de-
clares its satisfaction at the formation in Bermondsey of a
branch of the Reform League, and pledges itself by all prac-
tical means to obtain registered and residential manhood
suffrage and the ballot." Mr. West seconded the resolution,
which was supported by Mr. J. Merriman, and carried amid
loud cheering. The Rev. J. Sinclair then moved, "That
this meeting views with indignation and disgust the recent
unprincipled conduct of the Tory party with regard to
reform, and hereby declares its conviction that a Tory Go-
vernment is unfit honestly and satisfactorily to deal with
Reform, and this meeting further declares that the
dismissal of the Tory Government from power is necessary
for the best interests of the country." Mr. Culmer seconded
the resolution, which was supported by Mr. J. Baxter
Langley, and adopted. Mr. Collins then proposed that
the warmest thanks be tendered to Earl Russell, the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Mr. John Bright, Mr. Stuart Mill,
and the members for Southwark, and other earnest Re-
formers for their support and vindication of the people's
rights in Parliament. Mr. Mantle, in seconding the re-
solution, urged upon all true reformers and lovers of liberty.
to press forward and once more reinstate Lord Russell and ,
Mr. Gladstone in that position which they had nobly filled•
This resolution was carried, and Mr. Malthouse, Colonel
Dickson, and others addressed the assemblage. when the
proceedings, which throughout were conducted with the
utmost order and propriety, were brought to a close with
a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. The meeting
then dispersed to their homes, and it is gratifying to state
that the police authorities did not show head, and there
was not the slightest reason to call for their interference.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION OFFICERS.—There are
in the United Kingdom 16 Government emigration officers,
who act under the immediate direction of her Majesty's
Emigration Commmissioners. In London there are five;
Liverpool, seven ; Plymouth, one ; Glasgow and Greenock
one ; Londonderry, one ; and in Cork one. They procure
and give gratuitously information as to the sailing of ships
and means of accommodation for emigrants, and whenever
applied to for that purpose they see that all agreements be-
tween shipowners, agents, or masters and intending emi-
grants
are duly performed. They also see that the provi-
sions of the Passengers Act are strictly complied with
viz., that passenger vessels are seaworthy, that they have
ou board a sufficient supply of provisions, water, medicines,
&c., and that they sail with proper punctuality. They at-
tend personally at their offices on each week-day, and afford
gratuitously all the assistance in their power to protect in-
tending emigrants against fraud and imposition, and to ob-
ain redress where oppression or injury has been practised
on them. During 1865 four prosecutions were instituted
in the kingdom under the Passengers Act, and three have
been reported as having been instituted in the colonies.
The amounts recovered for emigrants through the inter-
vention of the emigration officers were as follow, viz.:
London, £1 2s. 6d. ; Liverpool, £237 17s. ed. ; Glasgow,
£l9 Os. 6d. ; Cork, £1,747 lls. 4d. ; and in Londonderry,
£l4 17s. 6d.—making a total of £5,020 9s. 4d.
REPRESENTATION OF PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.—

Intelligence reached the united borough on Saturday of
the death of Lord Northbrook, whereby the seat in Parlia-
ment held by his eldest son, Mr. T. G. Baring, has become
vacant. A meeting of electors was immediately summoned,
and held at tho Royal Hotel, Falmouth, at 8 p.m. on that
day, when a very large body attended, the Mayor (Mr. N.
Fox) taking the chair. A resolution was unanimously
passed, appointing five gentlemen from each section of the
borough to consider the names of candidates who would
be acceptable to the constituency, to be submitted to a
general meeting for the selection and approval of one of
them at the earliest possible moment. This committee at
once put itself in motion. A second resolution was also
carried, pledging the meeting to Liberal principles, depre-
cating corruption of any kind, and declaratory of united
and immediate action to secure a suitable representative.
The entire meeting was most enthusiastic in its character;
and as Mr. Baring has always been considered a most
active, able, and diligent member during the three succes-
sive Parliaments in which he has represented the borough,
great regret for his loss was expressed on all sides—and
upon the motion of Mr. Robert R. Broad, J.P., Falmouth,
seconded by Mr. John Gill, of Penryn, a resolution was
unanimously passed, and directed to be forwarded by the
chairman to Mr. Baring, condoling with him on the loss of
his father, and regretting that they are thereby deprived
of his much appreciated services as a representative. No
candidate in the Conservative interest has been named in
any quarter, although it is supposed a Liberal will not be
permitted to walk over the course. During the meeting
strong remarks condemnatory of the corrupt disclosures
made at Lancaster, Yarmouth, and Totnes were made by
the speakers. It is most creditable to the united borough
that nothing in the shape of bribery or corruption has been
practised iu it for more than. 12 years, and a high moral
tone is everywhere exhibited by the constituency.
SALES OF YEARLINGS AT DONCASTER.—The num-
ber of the first-class yearlings to be submitted to
the racing public at Doncaster during the ensuing race
meeting will far exceed any former year; and so numerous
are the commissions that Messrs. Tattersall, the well-
known auctioneer; have received that it has been found
necessary to appropriate a largo paddock iu Horsefair for
the accommodation of the numerous lots. Messrs. Tatter-
sall will both sell in separate rings on Wednesday (the St.
Leger day), and on Thursday ; and on Tuesday and Fri-
day only one of them will sell as usual. The Tuesday's
sales will comprise the Whitfield stud of yearlings —Mr.
tlarrisou's, Mr. Watkiu's, and other lets. The Wedues-
day's sale will include, in the first catalogue, the yearlings
of the Bythorp stud—Lord Scarborough's, Mr. J. Scott's,
Mr. Wright's, Mr. Newton'; and Mr. Stephenson's ; in the
second catalogue, the Middleton-one-Row, Mr. Hewett's,
Mr. Graham's, Mr. Morris's, Major Davidson'; Mr. Robert-
son's, and the Hon. W. Duncombe's. The first catalogue
on Thursday will embrace the Earl of Derby's yearlings
and lots of the late Earl of Chesterfield, the Sheffield-lane,
and Mr. Cookson's ; and the second the Fairfield stud of
yearlings, Sir Tatton Sykes's, Mr. Merry's, Mr. I'Anson's,
Mr. Winteringham's, and others ; and Friday's catalogue
will contain yearlings the property of the Marquis of Exe-
ter, Mr. J. Osborne, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Parker
cud other gentlemen. In addition to Messrs. Tattersall's
extensive sales, Mr. R. F. Tilburn, of Doncaster, and Mr.
Robt. Johnson, of York, have received important commis-
