ENGLAND.

LONDON, November 12.-The opening
lecture Of the season before the Royal
Geographical Society was delivered last
night, by Sir Henry Rawlins, President
Of the society. Abiding to the finding
Of DR.. Livingstone by Stanley, he de-
clared the journey Of the latter into the
interior Of Africa was a most important
event, and that Stanley deserved a
medal from the society for the accom-
plishment Of his great undertaking.
The foreign governments which were
requested by Great Britain to cooperate
in the movement now being made in
this country for the suppression Of the
East African slave trade, have sent re-
plies expressing their sympathy with
the cause, but declining to unite in the
active measures contemplated by En-
gland.
The steamship Helvetia, which sailed
from New York on the twenty-third of
October for London, encountered severe
weather when nearing the English
coast on Friday last while OFF Portland
Her machinery broke. She succeeded,
however in reaching the vicinity Of the
Isle Of Wight, when she became I'M
manageable and drifted rapidly toward
the French coast. AS Cherbourg
came in sight, the anxiety Of the off,
GERS became very great. They were un-
able TO regain control over the steam
er's movements, and were in danger Of
being driven on shore. When within
ten miles OF Cherbourg they threw up
rockets and made other signals
Of distress but they were not
noticed on shore. Fortunately
the wind changed and the steamer be-
gan 70 run before it down the channel.
The steamer Ethel came to her assist
ance, and, while trying 10 give her
tow, ran into a boat which had been
launched by the Helvetia, crushing ii to
pieces. One man was killed and two
hjured. The Helvetia finally turned
into Falmouth, arriving there to-day.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says
that the telegraphie cable between that

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, November 12-The session
Of the Prussisn Diet, which was prOroged
at the close Of October, was re-opened at
noon to-day. The Emperor was not
present, but a speech from the throne
was read by Calinet Memster. 1t is
brief and to the purpose. A reduction
Of the income tax is promised. The re-
lations Of the State to religious societies
are alluded to as subject for legis lation.
The country reform bill will again be
submitted slightly amended. The ne
cessity and expediency Of the measure
are demonstrated. The speech con-
cludes with declaration that the gov
ernment is firmly resolved to carry out
its intention Of improving the local ad-
ministration Of the kingdom, and will
avail itself of all the constitutional
means at its disposal TO effect its object.
The Upper House subsequently, pro-
ceeded to. choose a President, and
elected Baron Stalber, a friend of the
government. There were only six votes
cast against him.

Boston fire is a scandal TO civilization,

they originate, to the updisciplined fire.
