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 brilli ant
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 Lon-
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.
DisaaELfs 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
Nlinister 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-
proaching 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.

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 bas 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
ease of emergency. Disquietude and discontent
have, as we all know, prevailed to a great extent
with regard to those subjects referred to by the
right hon. gentleman, and there is much to call for
our gratitude to PROVIDENCE that they have been
happily removed from us, and that we approach a
'fore favoured season than many which have pre-
ee led 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

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. lIUGHEs 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
bad 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 lash 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. Mr. 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 thkircumstances 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 are under their power. We hope
that, nevertheless, some mcaus will be adopted to
make their offences public, since those who can
escape from their clutches will then scarcely fail to
do so,

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

The Emperor is still at Plombibres, whither, I am told,
Prince Napoleon will go to join him. His Imperial
Majesty has greatly benefited by the relaxation.

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
Il'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 fur 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
" West 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
are 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
throughout the country which are asked to pass the same
resolution.

There is a literary controversy started in the columns of
the Tinter 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
d; covered 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 conjecti re
has been bestowed upon it, and it is supposed to hare been
a] collection of Hebrew minstrelsy, or record of patriotic
and warlike deeds. The clergy are already in the field.
Mr. 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 'Usher to explain
himself. Here is a fine field for conjecture. If
.the disputed poem of the British Museum produces such
diverse opinions while every word is before us, what' an
interesting study willt be to discus ty11090.14_410

HER MAJESTY.

OSBORNE, July 29.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise
and Princess Beatrice, drove out yesterday after-

noun.

The Queen and the Royal Family walked in
the grounds this morning.
The Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Louis of
Hesse went to Goodwood this morniug to be pre-
sent at tie races.

The Prince of Leiningen dined with the Queen
last evening.

The Princess of Wales drove out yesterday, at-
tended by the lion. Mrs. Hardinge.

NAVAL AND .3111.17ARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, no
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"
wing, 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 011
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 011 V
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 Ile'
giment, are under Horse Guards orders to proceed
from the depot at Colchester to the service con'
panics in the Mauritius. Staff Surg. Ramsey, 0f
the Bth Depot Battalion, transferred to the 75th
Regiment, is held in immediate readiness to eraharlg
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 t 4
Hounslow on the 4th of next month, the barracks
having undergone repairs for their reception. The
regiment bas been held in great estimation is
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 fronl i.
proximity to London it is surprising that a regi-
ment is not always quartered at this station, Vs;
sessing, as it does, a fine common for drill, and the
advantages of acting in concert with the itd,,
Horse Artillery at reviews, or being brigaded Wit'
them for the purposes of exercise.
His Danish Majesty's screw steam corvette 1)3g;
mar, 16, Capt. Krieger, from St. Thomas, put iota
Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon for fuel, 1113
will probably leave to-day for Copenhagen.
The armour-plated screw ship Lord Clyde, Cl'"t.

salutes with the Victory, flag ship of Admiral Sir
'l'. S. Pasley, Commander-iu-Chief at Portsmouth.
The Akbar, hired transport, Captain Pyzze99 9r;
rived at Spithead yesterday from Madras, igherie
she sailed on the 9th of March, calling at Point 01,
Galle on the 18th to land a soldier with the 8101
pox, remaining until the 28th, no other cases having
shown themselves. She has brought home Afaioi
Cunningham, 3d Light Infantry (in commas
troops) ; Lieut. Cosling, Staff Corps; Lieutea.a;
Adams, 2d Battalion 24th Regiment ; Dr. Solie;
R.A. (in medical charge) ; 98 time-expired 1331¢
and military invalids, five military convicts,
eo
soldiers' wives, and 25 children. There were tore
births and seven deaths on the voyage, hes to,
two men drowned. The troops will disembarkvic,
day, the invalids being removed to the Royal ea
toria Hospital, Netley, and the time-expired 2130 f
landed at the dockyard, to be sent to the depots

their respective regiments.
The Clyde, Indianian, Captain Victor J-L°•„,,,
belonging to the Merchant Shipping Coe3l*",
London, arrived at Spithead yesterday 010rii?
from Calcutta, whence she sailed Feb. 23, ealill3o
at St. Helena May 23. She has brought hon3;ier
number of invalids and time-expired men, u„a
the command of Major Dixon, Staff Corps, "pot
who will disembark to-day, the former being sibs
to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, and
s
latter to the depots of their respective regimenar.
A court-martial was held yesterday on ~
her Majesty's ship Victory, flag-ship of Adreirao,
T. S. Pasley, Commander-hi-Chief at Portera°g"
for the trial of Lieutenant W. Duthey, of her ~801
jesty's ship Simoom, for neglect of duty on the bio
of July, 1868. It was proved that, when it wi:scige,
duty as officer of the watch to be upon the bridge'
be was unnecessarily in the chart-house. The 'cid,
therefore adjudged him to be severely repriinev was
Captain H. S. Hillyar, C. 8., Royal 0 .age
president of the Court, and Captain Lethbrl
prosecutor.
