TilE PAPAL ALLOCUTION.

The following is the full text of the despatch re-
cently sent by Baron von Beust to Baron Meysen-
burg at Rome relative to the Papal Allocution
" VIENNA, July 3.
" I have recently received will your reports of
the 22d and 23d June the text of the Allocution of
the Holy Father in the Consistory of the 22d.
" Since then I have acquainted your Excellency
by telegraph with the unfortunate impression which
that mansfestation has produced here.
" Your explanations given in your despatches of
the 23d ult. have been unable to mitigate the effect
of the words of the Holy Father.
" We certainly appreciate the friendly feelings
expressed for the person of the Emperor, and his
Majesty is certainly not insensible to that mark
of deference. We would believe that, as
your Excellency affirms, the Pontifical Allocu-
tion, compared to many other documents of the
same nature which have emanated from the
Holy See, does give the idea of the existence
of a certain tendency to moderate its ex-
pressions in so far as the views held by the Church
will permit. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the lan-
guage which his Holiness uses in reference to the
Imperial Government and the new institutions of
Austria is so severe that we consider we have a
right to complain thereof. Ido not, on the present
occasion, desire to enter into a controversy little in
accordance with my sentiments of respect for the
Holy See, and with my desire for conciliation.
Still I cannot omit a few observations on the sub-
ject, which I request your Excellency to bring
before the notice of the Court of Rame.
" In the first place, we cannot recognise the ne-
cessity of the Holy Father following certain prece-
dents, and of employing towards Austria the same
procedure as towards those other countries of whose
conduct the Pontifical Government has had to com-
plain.
" Can, indeed, a comparison be made? Have
we laid hands upon the territory or possessions of
the Church ? Have we oppressed the Catholic re-
ligion or its ministers ?
" Apart, however, from such instances as be-
side the case, we may, I believe, boldly affirm
that there is no country in Europe where the
Catholic religion has so privileged a position as in
Austria even now, despite the laws of the 25th of
May. Nevertheless, this fact should have been
taken into account, and the Imperial Government
should not have been reprobated in the same manner
as those Governments who are in opposition to the
Church and Catholic religion.
" We cannot easily understand that the Holy
Father has thought it indispensable for him to
protest against the laws which moiify the situa-
tion created by the Concordat of 1855. Indeed we
fully awaited some such steps, and we should have
accepted it in silence, eve❑ had its form been less
conciliatory than we could have hoped; but we can-
not allow the, condemnation of the fundamental laws
on which the new institutions of the empire repose
to pass without objection. Those laws are not in
question. In thus attacking them the Holy See
deeply wounds the feelings of the nation, and imparts
to the real difference a bearing much to be regretted
even in the interests of the Church. Instead of simply
disagreeing with such or such an application of the
principles which serve as the foundations of the ac-

tual government of Austria, and which are the re-
sults of a happy agreement between the people and
the empire, it is the principles themselves which
have been reproved.

" The Holy See thus extends its representations
to those objects which we in no way can regard as
under its authority. It envenoms a question
already too well cAlculated to excite people's minds
by placing it on a footing where political are mixed
up with religious passions. By the condemnation
of those laws which limit the principle of the
liberty of the Church, while at the same time
they offer a compensation for the privileges lost,
it makes the assumption of a conciliatory
attitude by the Government more difficult. It may
not be out of place to remark that those laws ex-
pressly guarantee to the Church the possession of
her property in Austria. That stipulation proves
that the laws in question are not of a character un-
friendly to the Church, since she is thereby main-
tained in those rights of which in so many other
countries she has been deprived. It is not for me
to judge how far this last consideration may serve
to soften the feelings of the Court of Rome on this
point. That which in my eyes does not offer a
shadow of doubt is that the people of Austria
will find a consolation in remembering that more
than one Catholic country obeys laws analogous to
ours while at peace with the Church; and, above all,
that there exists in Europe a grand and powerful
empire, whose tendencies towards liberty and pro-
gress have always been allied with a most decided
attachment to the Catholic faith, and which,
governed by laws equally abominable, yet has been
fortunate enough, even up to the present time,
to meet with the indulgent sympathies of the Holy
See.

4‘ My despatch of the 17th of June last foresaw
the unfortunate results which would be produced
by the Allocution if it were not couched in more
moderate terms.

" regret extremely that the Court of Rome did
not take my prognostications into account. They
have since been entirely realised. Ido not believe
that the Catholic population of the empire show a
greater zeal to-day for the interests of religion than
in times past. On the contrary, we see the attacks
directed against the Church, the clergy, and the
Pope redoubled in their ardour ; that hostility would
have been restrained within its narrowest limits,
and been most easily appeased, if the special ques-
tions affected by the laws of the 25th of May had
only not been touched upon in the Pontifical Allo-
cution.

" Before concluding, I must here express the
painful surprise we have felt at the appeal ad-
dressed to the Hungarian bishops in some sentences
of the Allocution.

" It appears to me that the Court of Rome ought
to have congratulated herself at the perfect tact and
reserve with which these matters have up to the
present time been treated in Hungary. It did not
appear desirable, from any point of view, to arouse
afresh differences and to increase the difficulties
which still exist. But, above all, it was not to the
interest of the Court of Rome, and it appears to us
inopportune, to excite the national susceptibility of
the Hungarians. The mere appearance of foreign
pressure will produce in the nation a result alto-
gether at variance with the wishes of the Holy See,
and we shall behold a storm gather against the
legitimate influence of the Court of Rome as strong
as that which has broken out on this side of the
Leitha.

" Such, M. le Baron, are the observations which
have been suggested to us by reading the Pontifical
Allocution. You will be pleased not to keep his
Eminence the Cardinal Secretary of State in
ignorance of them.

" We shall nevertheless persevere in the way we
have traced out first and foremost. While con-

tinuing to maintain intact the rights of the State
and to make the laws respected, we shall allow the
Church to enjoy in peace the liberties which those

13.A.1NVET TO HER MI7ESTI-7,,,

iI,.IM7STEPS.

On Wednesday night her Majesty's Ministers were,
ntertained at a banquet by the Lord Mayor of London.
he company present numbered about 200, among whom
core the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of
auckingham and Chandos, Lord Stanley, Sir John
?akington, Sir Stafford Northcote, Lord John Manners,
dr. Walpole, Mr. Mowbray, M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P.,
he Lord Advocate, the Attorney-General, &c. The
isual loyal toasts having been proposed and received
vith all the honours, the LORD MA.YOII proposed "The
irmy, Navy, and Volunteers."
Sir JOILN rAKINGTON, in returning thanks for the army,
eriefly referred to the Abyssinian expedition, and con-
eluded : Her Majesty's Ministers, while considering it to
be oue of our first and most important duties to maintain
our national defences and our military power, at the same
time to bear in mind the well-known fact that the army of
England, as has been so often repeated, is one of the
costliest armies of Europe, and while it is our duty
to maintain its efficiency and its power, we are also
bound to endeavour to do so without extravagant
estimates, and with every possible legitimate economy, so
that we may accomplish that great national object which
is entrusted to us without imposing great burdens on the
people.
Admiral Sir A. MILNE returned thanks for the navy,
and Colonel LLOYD LINDSAY for the volunteers.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed the toast of the event
ing—" The health of her Majesty's Ministers," coupling
with it the name of the First Lord of the Treasury.
Mr. DISRAELI rose amid prolonged cheers to acknov
ledge the toast. After the usual compliments, he con.
tinned : We are on the eve of the close of a critical
session, and in appealing at the end of it to the people I
trust we may say that we have done our duty, and that
the position of the country generally is one of which I
think no Minister of the Crown need be ashamed. Speak-
ing as I do in the chief place of the City of London,
cannot for a moment pretend that the commercial world
has recovered from that great collapse which more
than two years ago fell upon the credit and the enter."
prise of this great commercial community. We now knot
more accurately than we did then the cause of that
great collapse, and that it was not merely the abuse of
credit, as was then supposed, but the squandering and
exhausting of our resources. It was clear, therefore,
that time was necessary before we could recover from
that great visitation. I trust that we have made a
sure but silent progress during the year, I feel the
greatest confidence that we are approaching the end of the
great depression of which we have been so long
conscious. I more than trust that the time
is rapidly arriving when we shall again enter
into that sphere of progress and enterprise, which I trust
are the normal characteristics of British industry. In
other respects I do not think that this country has any
cause to complain. If we look to our foreign relations we
see no cause for anxiety. At the present moment we
have no controversy of any kind with any European
Power. And with regard to those subjects of misunder.
standing which have been so much exaggerated, and so
much dwelt upon, with our Transatlantic brethren, every
week, I may say every day, brings us to a better understand.
ing upon all those questions, and I am sure that their
solution, which I believe is near at baud, in every respect
is only what could be expected from the mutual good
sense and good feeling of two great and kindred nations.
If we look to the state of Ireland, I think it is one that
ought to he a subject of sincere congratulation, The state
of Ireland is one of complete tranquillity, and no inconsider.
able period has elapsed since her Majesty's Government
have felt any necessity of availin,gthemselves of those pro-
visions in the Act for the suspension of the llabeaus Corpus
which we were in a moment of extraordinary difficulty, as
were also our predecessors, obliged to avail ourselves of.
The state of the country at this moment, instead of being
a cause of disquiet, is, as I have said, one of congratulation.
With regard to the course of public affairs in Parliament,
it has been the custom to remark that the session has been

wasted, and that nothing has been done, My lord, I
believe that notion has been caught too precipitately
from opinions somewhat hazardous, expressed in the heat
of the atmosphere of our senate. But we must remember
that the relations of parties in Parliament are very much
like some of the traditionary misunderstandings between
man and wife ; they treat each other often with a
freedom of recrimination which probably has no great
foundation. I entirely deny that the session has been a
barren session. In the first place, we have carried a series
of measures that have completed that great work of the
amendment of the representation of the people. That
series of measures which were necessary to complete that
great enterprise, the carrying of which was always clues,
tinned, and for a time seemed doubtful, has been com-
pletely and successfully carried into effect. And if the Par•
liament of this country had only completed that great work
I maintain that it would have been a session which would
have left its mark upon the history of this country. And
it is not merely that series of considerable measures which
completed the reform of our representative institutions for
which we are indebted to the present session of Parlia.
ment. Many—and many considerable—measures have
also been passed, into which on this occasion it would be
wearisome to enter. I think I may congratulate you upon
the passing of that bill which transferred the management
of the telegraphs of the country to the Post Office gene.
rally, and which, I believe, will greatly advance the inte-
rests of this country, and I have no doubt will exercise
a most beneficial influence on the progress of England.
The right hon. gentleman confessed, however, that many
measures had not been passed which he would have liked
to have become the law of the land. There were Poor-law
and bankruptcy reforms, educational measures, legal
reforms, &c. But the non-passing of these measures wag
not the fault of her Majesty's Ministers. Referring then
to the general election the right hon, gentleman said/
It is impossible not to be sensible of the great occasion
which is now at hand. I think he would be a bold math
who for a moment would attempt to speak of that occasion
in other terms than those which would do justice to its inw
portance. We have been told that the confidence we re,
posed in this respect in the body of the people would be
misplaced, and that the moment they possessed the powea
of the franchise we would find them give way to the
wildest ideas, and exercise that power in a way most clang
gerous to the interests of the country. I confess I see no
evidence before me which would lead me to apprehend
it. On the contrary, I think the great body of
the people are prepared to exercise the great
power we have conferred upon them in a spirit of
prudence and patriotism. When I remember what the
constitution of England is—that the constitution of Eng.
land proposes to itself two great objects—namely, to
maintain at the same time political liberty and religious
freedom—l have no doubt that the English people will
thoroughly understand the issue at stake, and will behave
in that manner which would become the descendants of A
great people, and will prove that they are worthy of the
privileges which the present generation has generously
and wisely bestowed upon them. Over refinement
and over education lead very often to perversity of
opinion and the affectation of philosophy, and do
not deal with those vigorous and robust principles which
the nation is now being called upon to decide with the
success and completeness which attend an appeal to s
larger and more national constituency. I have, there,
fore, no fear that there is anything in the present state
of affairs to give us any apprehension, and for my own
part, I trust with confidence the English Constitut
tion to the English people. You have yourself, my
Lord Mayor, within these few days, enter•
tained in this room that hero to whom at this
moment the gratitude of the nation acknowledges its debt.
We have concluded, I may say, one of the most singulall
military enterprises of this age. That I hope will not be
forgotten when our countrymen take a charitable and I
hope a just view of our conduct under a great difficulty.
And I am certain, my lord, that in an appeal to the
people no English Ministers will err when they trust at the
same time to the justice of their fellow-countrymen and k
the goodness of the cause which they represent.
The speech was continually interrupted with cheers,
and at the conclusion the cheers were again and again
repeated.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER responded to "'the
House of Commons." He also referred to the coming
elections. We look to the future House of Commons (he
said) to strike its roots down deeper into the country, to
represent more fully than the present House of Commons
does the feelings and aspirations of our fellow-subjects,
and promote the welfare of the country. 1 don't wish, oa
this occasion, to go into controverted matters, but I
believe that on this great question the heart of the
country is sound, and that they will return a House of
Commons determined to maintain the institutions of the
country, and maintain that civil and religious liberty on
the security of which those institutions so much depend.

BURNING MOUNTAINS IN MONMOUTITSHIRE.—Vor
tne past fortnight the Mynydd Maen Mountain lying.
between Cwmbran and Crumlin, Monmouthshire, has been
on fire, and up to Tuesday columns of smoke were obsery
able several miles distant. Efforts have been made to stay
the ravages of the fire by digging trenches around, but they
have proved of little avail. More than a mile in length
of the surface is already burnt, and the showers of last
week, instead of checking the fire, tended rather to increase
the combustion. The Rhymney and Twin Barlwm
Mountains have also caught fire in several places. As the
drought continues further devastation is apprehended,
and nothing but a heavy fall of rain can check the pro•
gm!! of the bni3ting element.

Buckstone,

At the close of a wearisome session it must have
been a welcome change to the Premier and his col-
leagues to meet with so cordial a reception at the
Mansion House as was afforded to them last night.
The affair had been put off in consequence of the
very great pressure of public business, and there-
fore there were not quite so many present as was
first anticipated ; but the company was a brilliant
one, and Mr. DISRAELI was loudly cheered on his
arrival. In proposing the toast of the evening the
Lord Mayor made a few felicitous observa-
tions. It is, as he said, one of the privileges of the
Lord Mayor to entertain her MAJESTY'S Ministers,
and although they had not the satisfaction now of
welcoming the Earl of DERBY as the First Lord of
the Treasury, the noble lord could have had no
worthier or more fitting successor than the right
hon. gentleman now At the head of the Govern-
ment. The Lord Mayor said very truly that a
large and influential section of the citizens of Lan-
don, as well as of the country in general, value and
appreciate the administrative talents of the Pre-
mier, and all must admire " the manly eloquence,
tact, good temper, and prudence with which he
conducts the debates of the House of Commons,
which in no small degree contributed to his
success in carrying the Reform Bill through
Parliament in so triumphant a manner." Mr.
DISRAELI'S speech was a great success, and it was re-
ceived with enthusiasm throughout. In the first
place, he said that these assemblies were always most
agreeable ones, and it was a pleasure to all states-
men to meet their countrymen there. It is no light
thing for them to have their names mentioned
with respect and regard by the chief Magistrate of
the City, and received with cordiality by those
assembled at those festivities. On many former
occasions the right hon. gentleman has had the
opportunity of meeting the citizens of London, but
never, he declared, had he more pleasure than last
night, and his colleagues, he felt sure, must share

with him in the feelings of gratification he expe-
rienced. The Ministers are now on the eve of
closing a critical Session of Parliament, and appeal-
ing to their countrymen, in the hope that they may

affirm they have done their duty. At any rate no
Minister need now think that the position of the
country is one to be ashamed of. Of course no one
need be surprised that the Premier did not affirm
that the commercial world had recovered its tone
or recovered from the great depression which weighed
it down. Many causes may contribute, however,
to the gradual and complete restoration of the credit
of this country ; and this prolific harvest, which has
fortunately been the portion, not only of our
country, but of all the world, is the surest source
of wealth and prosperity. Mr. DISRAELI ought to
be a good judge, and he assured his hearers at the

Mansion-house that there were signs of our ap-

preaching the end of the great depression under
which we have so long suffered, and may thus again

expect to enter upon that enterprise and progress
which are the "normal characteristics" of British,

industry.

Wednesday afternoon is usually devoted, in the
Commons, to the discussion of questions of theory
rather than practice, or at least the reforms which
commend themselves to the convictions of the few,
but have failed to impress the generality. Yester-
day Mr. HUGHES brought forward a topic which
concerns us all more or less, and which he has be-
fore now enlarged upon, both in and out of Parlia-
ment. The condition of the laws relating to weights
and measures is by no means satisfactory; it is un-
certain and inconsistent, and the inspectors are
often careless. Our tradesmen are not sufficiently
immaculate to be trusted to themselves in all cases,
and Mr. lluGn Es has often given offence to his
constituents by speaking the truth more, plainly
than pleasantly on this subject. It is a disgrace to
our London trade that false weights and measures
should be so frequent, and of course, as a general
rule, it is the poorer classes who are the most de-
frauded. Mr. HUGHES has given a good deal of
attention to the matter, and if he can succeed in
introducing a reform he will do good service to all
parties. In Lambeth, he tells us, there are two
inspectors of weights and measures, one of whom
had formerly been a policeman, and the other a
man of much the same rank. They have a salary of
£250 a year, and they take half the penalties im-
posed, so that as the fines last year amounted to
£1,200 their income is by no means inconsiderable.
Mr. HUGHES complains that there is no proper
system of management. No evidence is taken of
the number of times which a person charged has
offended, although his guilt would, of course, be
much affected by it. Mr. HUGHES stated that he
knew of 120 cases which had been decided in little
more than four hours by fines of 55., 26 of these
persons being fined for having their weights too
heavy. If the inspectors derive so much profit
from the fines imposed, of course they are not
likely to be lenient, but it is not a little
absurd to fine a man the same amount for cheating
himself as for cheating his neighbour. Again, the
management of the standards is very unsatisfactory.
Mr. HUGHES declared that a day or two ago he had
held in his hand one of the secondary standards,
which had been set right by soldering a piece of
lead on the bottom. This is a dangerous example,
to say the least of it, to set to tradesmen, who may
naturally begin setting their own weights to rights
in the same way. Dlr.
HUGHES says, with
reason, that the standard at the Board of
Trade should be verified every ten years,
and the secondary standards, considering the
wear and tear to which they are subjected, should
be verified at least once a year. It is not fair to
traders to sanction a variation between the Board
of Trade standard and the secondary standards
which is not allowed between their measures and
any standard at all. The publicity for which Mr.
HUGHES contends would certainly be a great pro-
tection to the public. It would advance the interests
of the honest dealer and impose a much stronger
check on the dishonest tradesman than the dread of
any fine, however heavy, could do. At present
neither the names nor the circumstances of
the conviction are published in most cases, and
there is no knowing," says Mr. HUGHES,
" whether weights are a drachm or an ounce too
light, or whether, as in some cases, they are too
heavy." Mr. CAVE, we are glad to find, con-
curred in the general tenour of the remarks of the
hon. gentleman for Lambeth, and promised atten-
tion to some of the more pressing points. The
Vice-President of the Board of Trade observed that
there was a great difficulty in the way of properly
punishing the offenders. The poor people who
deal at their shops are often heavily in debt to them,
and consequently arc under their power. We hope
that, nevertheless, some means will be adopted to
make their offences public, since those who can
escape from their clutches will then scarcely fail to
do so,

Respecting our foreign relations there is nothing
to complain of. Our relations with the Powers of
Europe are all that can be desired, and as for the
subjects of misunderstanding with America they
have been greatly exaggerated, and are near a so-
lution in the most satisfactory manner possible.
Ireland even was regarded with equanimity by the
right hon. gentleman, and its state, he declared,
was one of complete tranquillity at present ; and it
is worthy of notice that a long time has passed since
the authorities have felt any necessity to avail
themselves of the provisions of the Habeas Corpus
Suspension Act, to which, in common with their
predecessors, they felt obliged to resort in a
case of emergency. Disquietude and discontent
have, as we all know, prevailed to a great extent
with regard to those snbjects referred to by the
right hon. gentleman, and there is much to call for
our gratitude to PP.OVIDENCE that they have been
happily removed from us, and that we approach a
more favoured season than many which have pre-
ceded this one. The close of a session generally
gives rise to the trite remark that the time has been
wasted, and that nothing has been done ; but Mr.
DISRAELI is far too wary to be taken in by this, and
he gave a very likely explanation of it when he
said that people were led to believe this
from the hasty remarks too often made in

Almost simultaneously with the news that Mr.
BANKS'S Bill has been passed by both Houses of
Congress comes the Prime Minister's declaration
that every day brings about a better understanding
between the British and American Governments.

lug," eai3 Mr. DISRAELI last evening at the Man•

On Tuesday, a boy, named Thomas Gollagher, 12
years of age, residing in Hale's-entry, High-street, Hull,
was in a boat on the Humber, in company with Thomas
td•Gee, and when about 500 yards from the pier the boat
upset, and Gollagher was drowned. The body has not yet
been recovered.

The great rifle meeting, now being held at Vienna,
was expected to produce some political demonstration ;
but, owing to the prudence of the Government, it is likely
to pass off very quietly. A little anti-Prussian ferment
was beginning to shew itself, but the Ministers have
allowed it to evaporate by not taking part in the meeting.
As Count Bismarck absented himself from the banquet
held at the close of the Customs Parliament, and thus
avoided a share in the Pan-Germanic manifestation, so
Baron Beust has gone to the waters of Gastein to escape a
like difficulty.
The success of the Prussian landwehr system has
infected all Europe with a desire to imitate it. Turkey
has asked the Prussian Government to place at its dis-
posal a certain number of officers to assist in organising a
landwehr. Operations are to be commenced in Bosnia
and Bulgaria. Is the Porte quite sure that a citizen army
will be as useful and as tractable in Turkey as in Prussia?
If the Bulgarians are all converted into soldiers, the
Government of Constantinople may be confronted by
something more serious than brigandage.
Parliament is just expiring, and its chief ornament, Mr.
Bearden, rises to the grandeur of the occasion. He is
going to parade the Train grievance once more before the
House, and has a question on the paper to ask the Chief
Secretary for Ireland. It is about the assumed illegality
of Train's imprisonment. But this is not all. He proposes
no less than to bring in a bill far the amendment of the
Act of Legislative Union between Great Britain and
Ireland, the establishment of a Federal Parliament and
independent Legislature in Ireland, the separation of the
national debts and revenues of the two countries, and the
responsibility of each country for its own debt and its reduc-
tion. If the" hour and the man have come," the individual
and the time are equally eccentric; and if the House of Com-
mons of 1869 should be lucky enough to keep its doors
shut against such men as the Piccadilly hero, we hope that
it will not be said of him, as it has been said of departed
great ones, that though his place knows him no more, his
spirit and his influence guide the deliberations of that
august assembly.

The old plan under which the party committee selected
the candidate for their constituency, arranged all matters,
and left the rank and file to "vote straight," seems likely
to be abandoned in some cases at the next election.
Notably the Liberals of East Cornwall have rejected the
decision of their leaders. Calling attention to this case, a
" Wrest Country Liberal," protests in the Daily News
against those party compromises of which this was an
example. He is confident that the Liberals are in an
overwhelming majority in the division, and yet
the Liberal committee would have allowed Mr.
Kendall, a Conservative, to walk over the course.
Unfortunately for himself, Mr. Kendall has made
himself unpopular with some of his constituents by
what he has done in the matter of local rates. So there
were not wanting at the party caucus those who wished
to have him ousted at the next election. Mr. Bridges
Williams was therefore requested to come forward. Here
is the moral of the story, as read by the writer of the let-
ter :—" When we see the Tories attacking every possible
Liberal seat for the purpose of maintaining a Disraeli
Government in power, the Liberals, either in county or
town constituencies, who consent to a joint representa-
tion ' for the sake of peace,' are guilty of a grave derelic-
tion of duty."
Financial reformers are just now very hard at work
trying to raise the cry of "Retrenchment." On the whole,
however, their efforts are distinct failures. Notwith-
standing that the cry is a decidedly " taking " one—for
who would not like to have his outcomings reduced ?—the
band is small that gathers around the old flag. They
arc enthusiastic enough it is true, but will hardly
exercise much influence in the coming elec-
tions. Mr. Noble, the secretary of the Finan-
cial Reform Association, is agitating in the " Black
Country" in favour of a reduction of ten millions of our
present expenditure. A meeting at the new borough of
Wednesbury pledged itself to support no candidate who
would not make financial reform a prominent feature of
his political creed ; and other meetings are being held
throu,.2hlut the country which are asked to pass the same
resolution.

There is a literary controversy started in the columns of
the Times which bids fair to rival the Miltonic dispute in
importance. Mr. Lowe having stated in the House
of Commons that the book of Jasher had been
discovered in Abyssinia, a correspondent writes
to our contemporary to say that the third
chapter of Genesis is taken from this book. Probably both
statements are equally wild. No one knows anything
about this book except that it is quoted twice in Holy
Scripture (Joshua x. 3 ; 2 Samuel i. 18). Much conjecture
has been bestowed upon it, and it is supposed to hare been
al collection of Hebrew minstrelsy, or record of patriotic
and warlike deeds. The clergy are already in the field.
!fir. M`Caul contributes a letter, and Dr. Irons writes a
peremptory epistle, calling upon the critic who attri-
butes the third chapter of the Book of Genesis
to the author of the Book of Jasher to explain
himself. Here is a fine field for conjecture. If

NAVAL AND MILI7ARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, now
quartered at the Sheet-street barracks, Windsor, is
expected to leave for Chelsea barracks about the
12th of August. It will be relieved by the 2d
Battalion of the same regiment.
The annual military sports and athletic games
by the officers and troops of the Ist and 2d Depot
Battalions at Chatham garrison were held on Chat-
ham lines on Tuesday afternoon, under the patron-
age of Major-General Freeman Murray, command-
ing the division. The stewards and managers of
the games were Captain R. T. P. Cuthbert, 15th
Regiment ; Captain J. J. Heywood, Ist Royals ;
Captain H. Echalaz, 2d Royals ; 'Captain W. J.
Watson, Bth Regiment, and Lieut. J. H. Campbell,
109th Regiment, assisted by a committee of non-
commissioned officers. The sports consisted of run-
ning, leaping, jumping, flat and hurdle races, with
other athletic games, for various prizes in cups and
money, the amount of the latter given away exceed-
ing £2O, both officers and men competing in the
various games. The number of spectators was very
large.

The trial of Capt. Moncrieff's gun-carriage on
the protected barbette system will not be made at
Shoeburyness so early as was anticipated. The
whole of next week will be set apart to carry out
the competition for prizes by Artillery Volunteer
corps under the regulations of the National Artillery
Association, as many as 75 gun detachments having
entered from various corps throughout the United
Kingdom.

Lieut. Thomas and Lieut. Lister, of the 32d Re-
giment, are under Horse Guards orders to prpceed
from the depot at Colchester to the service cone'
panics in the Mauritius. Staff Surg. Ramsey, of
the Bth Depot Battalion, transferred to the 75th
Regiment, is held in immediate readiness to embark
for Gibraltar to join his regiment.

The head-quarters and five squadrons of the
17th Lancers, under the command of Col. Drury
Lowe, are under orders to move from Woolwich to
Hounslow on the 4th of next month, the barracks
having undergone repairs for their reception. The
regiment has been held in great estimation in
Woolwich garrison, and much regret is felt that
they should so soon be leaving. The Royal Artil-
lery barracks has a fine range of buildings for the
accommodation of a cavalry regiment, and from it°
proximity to London it is surprising that a regi"
ment is not always quartered at this station, Po'
sessing, as it does, a fine common for drill, and the
advantages of acting in concert with the Royal
Horse Artillery at reviews, or being brigaded with
them for the purposes of exercise.

His Danish Majesty's screw steam corvette Dag-
mar, 16, Capt. Krieger, from St. Thomas, put into
Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon for fuel, and
will probably leave to-day for Copenhagen.
The armour-plated screw ship Lord Clyde, Capt.
R. Dew, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the
Mediterranean. On anchoring she exchanged
salutes with the Victory, flag ship of Admiral Stl.
T. S. Pasley, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth'
The Akbar, hired transport, Captain Pyzzey, ar-
rived at Spithead yesterday from Madras, where
she sailed on the 9th of March, calling at Point de
Gallo on the 18th to land a soldier with the small-
pox, remaining until the 28th, no other cases having
shown themselves. She has brought home Mart;
Cunningham, 3d Light Infantry (in command 01
troops) ; Lieut. Cosling, Staff Corps; Lieutenant
Adams, 2d Battalion 24th Regiment ; Dr. Smith,
R.A. (in medical charge) ; 98 time-expired men
and military invalids, five military convicts,
soldiers' wives, and 25 children. There were ,three
births and seven deaths on the voyage, beside°
two men drowned. The troops will disembark to:
day, the invalids being removed to the Royal
yte-
toria Hospital, Netley, and the time-expired nil
landed at the dockyard, to be sent to the depots
their respective regiments.
The Clyde, Indianian, Captain Victor Ilovges
belonging to the Merchant Shipping Correll'
London, arrived at Spithead yesterday morrullg'
from Calcutta, whence she sailed Feb. 23, 0111
at St. Helena May 23. She has brought home t
number of invalids and time-expired men, lludeci
the command of Major Dixon, Staff Corpse ant
who will disembark to-day, the former being 6,-0
to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, and '-
latter to the depots of their respective reginientbrj
A court-martial was held yesterday on 13°I/g.f
her Majesty's ship Victory, flag-ship of Admiral
T. S. Pasley, Commander-in-Chief at Portsranllt"
for the trial of Lieutenant W. Duthey, of her Xth
jesty's ship Simoom, for neglect of duty on the its
of July, 1868. It was proved that, when it was a
duty as officer of the watch to be upon the briclgrl
he was unnecessarily in the chart-house. The Ot'itici,
therefore adjudged him to be severely reprimao°e
