The Late Mr. De La Rue.

This day will be consigned to the grave the mortal
remains of the late Mr. Thomas De La Rue, Knight
of the Legion of Honour, who died at his residence,
84, Westbourne-terrace, on the 7th inst., in his 74th
year. Mr. Thomas De La Rue is well known as the
founder of the house which bears his name, and
from which he retired about eight years ago, after a
long career of unceasing activity. It may be truly
said that no man has done more to promote the arts
connected with his pursuits than the subject of this
notice, who had a remarkable faculty of rendering
discoveries in science available for the purposes of
manufacture. He began his career as a printer, and
subsequently he made use of his special knowledge
of printing in his improvements in the manufacture
of playing cards. About 40 years ago he published
the New Testament printed in gold (now a very
scarce work), and on the occasion of her Majesty's
coronation, June 28, 1838, The Sun newspaper was,
at his suggestion and with his aid, on the occasion
printed in gold. Among the various patents he
took out for a variety of processes may be cited, as
an example of the philosophical bent of his mind,
the fixing of the irridescent colours of thin film.
Until he brought under notice the valuable proper-
ties of glycerine, now so extensively used in medi-
cine and the arts, it remained a neglected and
waste product. Mr. Thos. De La Rue was de puty-
chairman. and joint reporter of class xvii. inthe
Exhibition of 1851, and it is undt;rsitsolondaitnhlyatfrtohine

well known as a collector of articles of vertu, and
the possessor of some of the most rare specimens of
Wedgwood ware, and it appears that he was one of
the first who stimulated the collection of this beauti-
ful but long neglected ware by his early apprecia-
tion of its intrinsic and artistic merits.

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.—Dr, and Mrs. Beke
are now in London, and Consul Cameron, the Rev. Mr
Stern, and the other captives may be expected to arrive in
England before long. Her Majesty's ship -Victoria, it is
stated, has been ordered to return to Massowah for them
by the 10th inst., and convey them thence to Men. Should
they reach the coast at Sawakin, the Victoria is to proceed
to that port, and bring them direct to Suez.

pardon was granted in 1861, such free pardon had been
carried out in its integrity?

Mr. HEADLAM said the legal effect of a free pardon
from the sentence of a court-martial was quite the same as
other tribunals, viz., a remission of the sentence, but that
did not carry with it any ground for compensation. The
terms of the pardon granted to Captain Stack was fully
made known to him, viz., to be placed temporarily on
half-pay, but there was nothing to entitle him to arrears of
Pay If the pardon had not been carried out in its
integrity, it did not rest with his (llr. Headlam's) de-
partment.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Thursday Evening.
The SiMe says :—" Diplomatic relations are de-
cidedly interrupted between Prussia and Austria.
It is Austria who has-first launched its letters of
recall. Count Karolyi, Austrian Ambassador at
Berlin, was to leave that capital to-day. To-mor-

row the Diet will have to vote relative to the
Federal execution demanded by Austria against
Prussia." Baron de \Verther, the Prussian Am-
bassador at Vienna, is also about to leave that
capital.

Kossuth has just addressed the following procla-
mation to the Hungarians : .

" A great number of my countrymen have from
various parts of Italy asked my advice by letter as
to what they ought to do under present circum-
stances, and, as it is impossible for me to reply to
them all personally, I declare by the present that my
advice to all my countrymen who are employed in
miltary service, or in any other way, is to remain
for the moment where they are and wait quietly the
course of events. Those, on the contrary, who have
no occupation and are fit for military service, and
desire to enter the army, will do well to enrol them-
selves under the flag of the Hungarian Legion.
They may, for the rest, be all convinced that if
affairs should so develope themselves as to offer for
their patriotic zeal a field of action, they will have
due notice of it."

A letter from Florence, dated June 11, says :
" War is the only door open to emerge from the
position. Happily, all is ready. Italy has five
grand corps &armee, representing 400,000 men.
The first corps is commanded by Durando, the
second by Cucchiari, the third by Della Rocca, the
fourth (the most numerous, seven divisions) by
Cialdini, and the fifth by Garibaldi. In two days
the King and General La Marmora will leave for
head-quarters. And now, courage and hope, and
thanks to God who protects the just cause."
Accounts from Adria mention the death of the
patriot Lodorico Ferrari. At the moment when he

was passing the frontier the Austrians fired upon
him, without any previous intimation. He was
buried at night, it being feared that there would be
a demonstration on the part of the inhabitants.
In an article in La Liberte, by M. Emile de Gir-
ardin, he says that the Emperor's letter means war,
and that it confirms his speech ou the sth of No-
vember, 1863, which concluded in these terms:—
" Two modes are open ; one conducts to progress
by civilisatiiin and peace; the other, sooner or
later, leads fatally to war, by obstinately maintain-
ing a past which crumbles away."

THE BRIBERY INQUIRY.

Lord PROSY, the Controller of her Majesty's Househald,
brought up her most gracious Majesty's answer to the
address of both houses, praying for the issuing of a com-
mission to inquire into the bribery at Totnes and other
places. The answer of her Majesty was to the effect that
such an inquiry should take place, and commissions would
accordingly be appointed for the purpose.
THE FENIANS IN CANADA.
In reply to Mr. LOWTHER, ,
Mr. CAItDWELL said he had received intelligence of
6,000 Fenians having occupied an offensive position in
Canada. He had, however, received a letter from Lord
Monck, which stated that he was then occupied in taking
steps to meet the emergency; and he further stated that
by the next mail further 'proceedings would be detailed,
which he had no doubt would be perfectly satisfactory.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S LETTER.
Sir W. HUTT asked whether her Majesty's Govern-
ment had received from Lord Cowley a copy of the letter
which had been addressed by the Emperor of the French
to one of his ministers, and which had been road in the
Legislative Chamber by M. Rouher, and, if he had re-
ceived the document, whether ho would lay a copy of it
on the table of the house.

Mr. LAYARD said a copy of the letter had been re-
ceived. It had been published in the French official jour-
nal (Mloniteur), but he could notlay a copy of the document
on the table because it was merely addressed by the
Emperor of the French to one of his Ministers,
and therefore it would be an unusual course to lay a copy
of the document on the table of the House of Commons.
(Hear, hear.)

DECLARATION OF WAR BY AUSTRIA.
Sir W. lIUTT said he had an important question to put
to the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It was whether
any official information had been received by her Majesty's
Government to the effect that a declaration of war had
been made by the Emperor of Austria.
Mr. LAYARD, in reply, said up to the time of his
leaving the Foreign-office that afternoon to attend in
his place in Parliament no such information had been re-
ceived.
REFORM BILL—REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS
London, England, 1866-06-15

BILL.

Lord LYTTLETON, in moving the second reading of
this bill, said that Mrs. Henry Wood, the celebrated autho-
ress, had written to him setting forth the necessity for the
passing of a measure like the present bill. He believed
that a large amount of hardship was inflicted upon authors,
whether novelists or dramatists, by the existing state
of the law. An author had a right to be protected, but
by the law as it at present stood ho was not, because his
work might be dramatised, and he derived no advantage
from its productions in a theatrical form, which he cal-
culated was most unfair to an original writer.

Earl TAUNTON strongly denounced the bill, and
moved as an amendment that it 13hould be road a second
time that day six months.
Earl GRANVILLE considered that the bill was calcu-
lated to act injuriously, because literary productions were
rendered valuable by being presented in a dramatic form,
and he referred to several works of distinguished authors,
the value of which he contended would never have been
appreciated unless they had been produced in a theatrical
form.

The house then divided.

REGISTRATION OF DOGS.

Mr. BUTLER asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce, dating the present session, any
measure for the registration of dogs, with a view to the
prevention of hydrophobia and of other injuries to person
and property for which the owners were not now practi-
cally responsible.
Sir G. GREY said his hon. friend the Lnder Secretary

for the Home Department was about to introduce a bill for
the regulation of the traffic of the metropolis, and that bill
would contain clauses with respect to straying dogs.

ENLISTMENT INTO THE ARMY.

Colonel H. FANE asked the Secretary for War, with
reference to the circular of May 29th, 1866, requiring
colonels of militia "to allow volunteering to the line,"
whether tho army was still so much below its strength
as to require the " reserve" to be drawn upon ; and, if it
were so, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to propose any alteration in the Limited Enlist-
ment Act ?

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the army at pre-
sent was not below its usual strength, but much in excess
of it. The enlistment at the time referred to was rather
tardy, and therefore the circular was issued. He had to
assure the hon. member that officers of militia regiments
invariably gave the greatest assistance in any recruiting
that was required for the army.
BREECH-LOADERS FOR THE ARMY.

In reply to an hon. MEMBER,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said a plan of con-
verting Enfields into breech loaders had been decided on,
and 20,000 had already been converted. Steps were now
going on to facilitate the conversion of 40,000 or 50,000
more, and in about two months an issue of the improved
arm would be made.

After a short time the learned judge returned and said
that in order to save time he would try the female prisoner
first. She pleaded not guilty. Some evidence having
been given, the jury, without leaving the box, found her
guilty, but strongly recommended her to mercy.
The male prisoner, who is apparently a man between
60 and 70, was then arraigned before a mixed jury of Eng-
lishmen and foreigners. He also pleaded not guilty. The
clso is not expected to close before a late hour this even-
ing.

Srntence on the female prisoner was deferred until the
finish of the other case.
