for the Han- nibel and St.Joseph Bailroad oarried the tea vellerno further west than ft.Joseph, and .from that point the journey bad to be made in the stage.Now, itis very different.The fron horse bas tracked ite course to Denver in Colorado, from whence the is render.od mote pleasant recent innovations of all kinds ; and although the route of the ¢ Smoky Hill\" still affords material for adventure ; though the buffalo is still shot at from the platform of the cars as they Journey from Kansas to Colorndo, it fails far short of offering the chances for thrilling adventures that it did in those days gone by.But to my story.\u201cTen years ago I bad business which necessitated my raklog « Journey to the ancient City of Banta Fe, Now Mexico, It was midwinter.1had crossed the Mississippi river at Quincy on the ice, and at Leavenworth the Missourl \u2018was crossed in the same manner.1 mantion these facts that the resder may severity of the weather at the American plains at sucha season, \u2014many so arnings I bad from frieuds and strangers to defer my trip, avd the frequent occurrence of people being frozen to death was anything but encouragivg ; but my bual- was imperative.So one piercingly raw morning at Leavenworth I paid my $125 fora seat in the stage coach snd made acquaintance with my travelling compauloas, six in number.1 was very favorably impressed with the appearance and manners of these gontlemen\u2014 more especially with one to whom my story will more particularly refer.There were two doctors, an army captain, two merchants ands young lawyer.The three first mentioned \u2018were on military duty ; the merchants were returning to their homes in New Mexico, while the young lawyer was journeying to Banta Fe with the intention of establishing himself in that city.This lawyer waa a bright-oyed, spirited, handsome youth, apparently just of age, and from him 1 glesued sufficient of his history to know that he was s scion of an aristocratic Boutbern family.All his actions bespoke the gentieman, despite the occasional touch of that hauteur\u2014not exactly inso- lence\u2014In his demeanor that-so frequently manifests itself In the conduct of the young Southerner, educated to the belief in the now obsolete but at one time Divine institution of slavery.His father bad been a slave-owner in one of the Biates that had just been overrun by the Union forces,and had been unable to transport his slaves to a baven of imagined safety within the rebel lines ; they all left him save one or two, and the old gentleman bad died broken-hearted in consequence,lsav- ing a somewhat impoverished widow and a emall family.The young man had adopted the law as a profession\u2014had studied very bard Io the days of his father's opulence\u2014and having obtained bis certificate, which pronounced him duly qualified to practice his profes sion, it was thought best, as he was precluded from taking a part in the war, to take neutral ground, as it were,in some far-off region, where be could apply himself diligently to hie call- in; g.As an Englishman I could not help feeling ® great interest in the handsome youth thus - about entering into the world on his own re- spousibility\u2014especially when he told me in answer to my question as to why he had not joined the Southern army in the struggle for independence, that it was on account of his mother, who was a Northern lady, His eye moistened when he spoke of ber.4 It fs hard,\u201d raid he ; \u201cmy blood boils to fight \u2018with my countrymen, but I dare not draw a» sword against my mother's kindred \u2014I have sworn to be neutral inthis war,\u201d It was casy to discern, however, that hia determination fll suited hie inclination, and bis sympathy with the Southern cause was apparent in his conversation, With the Union captain, his fellow passenger, he was frank and generous in bis remarks whenever they s:gued upon the great topic of the time\u2014the war.His defence of the system of slavery was always very cloverly maintalned\u2014too cleverly,in fact,for the rather undemonatrative captain ; for the young man waauo well ac- qusinted with the subject, and brought oat #0 lucldly the Divine origin of slavery, follow- ng it up with anch an overwhelming amount of evidence in its favor\u2014evidence gathered from actual experience ; and, morcover, so cleverly introduced and handled the Darwinian theory in regard to the descent of man, to thie detriment of the unfortunate negro.But the captain was not the only one of usto be shaken by the young man's eloquence, Day after day as we journeyed along upon our dreary route over the trackless waste of snow, with nothing to vary the monotony of the scene save the occasional passage in our front of vast multitudes of buffalo, we were continually enlivened Ly the lawyer, whose fund of anecdote and power of song seemed exbaustless, and was surprising in onc so oung.Often as we travelled by night would stir our hearts hy some thrilling narrative, or enliven the dark hours with songs.At times he would discourse sublimely upon the immortality of mun, embellishing his eloquence with recitations from Pope or the Divine songs of secred writ ; and often, as the sub went down, he would gaxe thoughtfully acroes the strange wintry landscape, fast fading trom vision by the deepening shadows, and sing to some simple melody that beanti- ful poem of somebody's which begins with \u201c Boftly now she light of day,\u201d in which all would join, modulating thelr volces to the tender, delicious pathes of the words, making such music as is seldom heard In the wild and savage regionsof the Far Wost.But these more ssrions moods did not long dampen the cheerful vivacity of the young lawyer.To take him generally he was not a very devout maa, though his acquaintance with the Scripture proved that he had been carefully traîued=perhaps by @ fond other, who doubtless hoped that he would von hi to embrace the life ot a Christian.az be it from me however,to offcr judgment ; He who discerns the sentiments of our hearts can alone do thet.The world ofien misjudg- ®8 men unfairly from their outward demeanor; and when inclined to judge a man by that uncertain standard, Tam always reminded of the poor clown who, after doffing the babiliments of his merry calling, perhaps tors home to his cheerlcss hearih to weep, The young and gifted attorney whose sad fata in the cause of this sketch, wan, as the Trader may imagine, nobody to me; he came @ctoss my path quite axidentally\u2014no, I will Not say accidentally,but rather providentially, for bis short acquaintance and ultimate fate have bad much to do with my conduct since, abd will perbape influencefmy future destiny; data dure it will influence my actions\u2014at least Au one very important respect.The reader will easily imagine that constant futec- course, the engers In the stage became Jutimate as {hough they bad known each othr for years.To make each other comfortable as the order of day, and with abundance of buffalo robes, provisions, tobacco, matches and magasives, we m to keep folurably warm and contented.When the tme threatened to bang heavily pon our beads it was immedlately agreed upon by the patty to arouse from his {ng ot reflections our young friend the lawyer, who bad estab.Nabed himnelf as the favoriteat once our coun.Sellor entertaincrand captain.Nomatter what 1oplo wae considered most agreeable for disons.A Whether {twas commerce lan, medicine, 7, geology, geography, politics, war or theology, be was by common consent\u2019 placed ta the chair, sf joltt so aves.After à fortnights egony of Dumerous bairbreadth esonpes tures which Lt ie pot necessary to relate hers, but which can be fmagined by those familler with travel through sa Indian country in midwinter, we arrived at what is called the dry route\u2014\" the name given to a stretch of coantry 200/miles long, over which not a veslige of foliage can be seen at any time of the year, and where not a stick an inch long can be found, the fuel for culinary purposes having to be carried in the baggage cuach (we had two coaches, one for passengers and oue for mail, provisions, etc.) In case of the fuel running short, its place iseupplied by buifaio chips, which is abupdant on the plains and forms an excellent substitute, Of course on the dry route, we could orien relay of mules 4! there was no stopping-p! no human tion for about 260 niles ; the desert of Sahara could not be more desolate, We travelled daily from two hours before sunrise until sun-sets balting an hour at noon.It wasduring our passage over shis bleak and inhospitable desert that I learned from the young lawyer his prospects for the future, Armed with credent and testimonials from sume of the most distinguished of American statesmen and politicians, with a very considerable sum of money\u2014mote than enough to support hig in briefless inactivity for at least à y: and promises for further was starting life on his own account under the most favorable auspices.Many were the Lappy plans be formed for the future ; his little oftice was already furnished in his mind's eye, also his pretty cottage inthe venerable city of Santa Fe, which he mentally arranged with an eye to the possibility of haviog to accommodate at ny distant date,two instead of one, Nor did he omit to shape out a course in the political srena, which he determined to enter without delay, and finished the construction of Lis aerial castles by playfally entertaining me with his maiden speech in Congress.(To be Continued) PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AND BEVIEW AT WIMBLEDON.THE CANADIAK.PRIZK TAKERS, (From the London Times, July 22.) A meeting, successful beyond most of Its predecessors, terminated brilliantly on Saturday.Weather, attendance, prizes, troops, prize winners, prize-givers \u2014on all these points there was nothing left to be desired, and of drawbacke to the pleasure of the dey, in the shape of serious accidents or misadventure, none happily are recorded.The heat, indeed, was excessive\u2014so much so that tbe Burmese Ambassadors, for whom places of honor in the Grand Stand were set apart, baving occupied these for about an bour, could remain no longer exposed to the sun's rays, but sought the shelter of thelr carriages and drove away, declaring that the heat was \u201ctwenty-two times as much as in their own country.\u201d The great body of the spectators probably felt the inconvenience as much as the foreigners, but with British fortitude, indifference or rashness, whichever may be the correct expression, they sat on, determined to 1st nothing interfere with thelr enjoyment of the spectacle.This certainly was most interesting to those who had been present on similar occasions, as well na those who saw the cercmony for the first time.As stated already Burmah war céficiaily represented In the assemblage ; so was Japan.Lieut, Col.Weder, wearing the uniform of an officer in the King of Holland's army, was the centre of a group of Euro military men, while the great Republic of the west was represented by an officer who has beun actively engaged since 1864 in establish ing rifle racges in different States of the Union, and now seeks to get a vote of Congress for the same object.Immediately fn front of the Grand Stand, & double marques bad been erected-\u20140ne with s dais and raised pedestal for the Princess of Wales to occupy while distributing the prizes; the other and larger portion of the marquee for the protection of the ladies.in.waiting and membernof the Royal party.To the right of the marquee wasn long table covered with the massive trophies.challenge cups, and other prizes which the Association has annually to distribute, as well as with the special rewards distinctive of this meeting.Parallel with the table, and in front of it, were ranged those winners of the principal prizes who attended fa person to receive their distinctions, to the number in all of some 500r 50.A Guard of Honor, composed of blue jackets from Her Majesty's ship \u201c Excellent,\u201d was drawn up on the loft of the Royal marquee and looked exceedlugly service- sble and quaint with their cutlasses and rifl+s, tnelr loose uniforms and straw bats.By and by another Guard of Houor was seen on its way to the marquee, coming from the direction of the volunteer camp, and marching across the common, pr led Ly atx Highland pipers in full blast.On ordinary occasions the custom in that the Guard of Honor at the distribution of prizes should be composed rateably of con- tigents from the different volunteer corps in camp ; but in this instance the London Scottish, in virtue of à member of the corps having carried off the Queen's prize, claimed and exercised the privilege of furaish- ing the whole Guard of Honor.Punctually at 4 o'clock two open carriages, with outriders in the royal llvery, and accompanied by an escort of the sth Lancers, passed through an opening left for that purpose in the line of hurdles, and appeared upon the Common.It fs unnecessary to add that the Prince and Princess of Wales, the moment they were recognized, were warmly cheered, and that the cheering was taken up and con tinued all along the line.On reaching the marquee their Royel Higlhnesses were ro- ceived by Lord Ducle, as President of the Council of the Association.His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales woro the uniform of tbe Civil Service Corps, of which he is honorary colonel, and His Royal Highness Prinos Arthur, who accompanied bim, as the honorary colonel of the London Irish, appesred in the uniform of that regiment.A brilliant porty assembled in the marquee to receive the Royal circle, After the usual presents.tions, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales was conducted to the dala by the Duke of Onmbridge, aud the presentation of prises commenced, On the part of the Asnoclation, any attempt to convey to the spectators an explanation as to the names of the prixe-winners, the nature and value of the prises, and the circumatances under which these have been won duriag the meeting, seemn now to have bren definitely abandoned, The prizes have grown so much in number, and the degrees of excellence In the victors involre such miaurér of technical detail, that it is regarded an hopeless to convey to the public an adequate con ception of the merits fn each case, But here aud there, something was done on Saturday In tho way of ceiling out names, anid the publi: quickly caught them np.There cre, for Instance, the well-known figure of Mr, Kdward Ross, distinguished by his ros height and greater achiovemeats, taking thees rises in sucosesion from the hands of the rincess ; the representative team from Cambridge University, looking at, but not ven.faring to carry, the monstot China Challenge Cup volley-Bring ; the team fron Winchester fichool, which won the Publle Fcbools Match, looking allmost as well.grown ss the team from Cambridge ; the winners of the several International matches between Kugland, Ireland and Scotland ; the winner of the 88.George's Challenge Vase, the conditions of which match Colonel Lindmy came over speciall to explain to the Princess : and some vi@na! markenten, whose skill and good for- tune have been subjects of conversation, like Captain Deas (Tune of Court), the wianer of the most central carton.But the feature of the distribution baring the greatest interest for the public was biedly the presentation of prises to the Canadian team.First camo the representatives of Quebec singly, who bad won the Merchants\u2019 Cup in the match between the several Provinces of Ca- bads ; and then the full squad which achieved so signal & victory over the picked representa tives of England, Ireland, and Sootland la the competition for the Rajah of Kolapore's Cup.Not merely were they most graciously received by the Princess, but volunteers ani spoc- tators spplanded warmly as they moved off with thelr prises: An opportunity also was sought by the Prince of Wales before the distribution concluded of entering loto coaver- sation with Major Worsley, who commands the and adding his personal tuls- tions.Private Turnbull, ons of the Cans- dians, in bis individual capacity, bad won the Becretary for War's prizo in tbe course of the meeting, shooting with a Ma:tiui-Henry rifle at 00 yards ; aud this rifle,enclosed in a suitable case, was presented to him at the instance of Mr.Cardwell, Theo last and greatest of the prise-winners every year is the man who succeeds la win.duds ei bi advances of oush i siete a Igoe ning the Queen's Prixe.Ou this occasion the = \u2018| callon, it seemed to me that my youug friend of the London Bcottish, who duly presented with a purse containing £250, snd the gold medal of the Association.By permission of Mr.Cardwell, he also was allowed to retain the rifle with which he has made himself famous.Usually the band strikes up © See, the Conquering Hero Comes,\u201d as the Queen's Prizeman approaches the dais, but on Saturday tbe Scottish pipers substitated * The Highland Laddie,\u201d and amid general applause Bergeant Michie retired with his well-earned rewards and decoration.The ceremony of distributing the prizes was followed by a review in which reglinents of Life Guards, Lancers, and Koyal Artillery, took part ; and that was succeeded by another review of volunteers who acquitted them- sclves creditably in the trying ordeal of coming after suck splendid regular troups.Ons or two cases of apprehended son.stroke were reported, and not unnaturally, soring that, according to Mr.Bteward's figures, the thermometer stood during the afternoon at 82 degriæs In the shade.Beyond this, the ficld hospital staff enjoyed à sinecure.A TENDER TESTATOR.There cannot be anytbing more pleasing than the spectacle of an old gentleman leaving money to a woman who refused to marry him, sud who, in fact, gave herself to somebody else.A case like this has lately shed the purple light of love upon the dusky Court of the English Vice-Chancellor, Mr.Nathaniel Bates of Melbourne Hall, Northumberlaad, who was also a lawyer with an income of £19,000 a year, bequeathed the sum of £1,000 # to the person whom he might have wished to marry ; but in case she should not survive him he bequeathed the ssid sum of £1,000 to certain trustees for the benefit of the three eldest girls under ten years of age, the children of the three agricultural hinds residing \u201cnearest to Melbourne Hall.\" It turned out that the person whom the susceptible Nathaniel bad # wished to marry\u201d was one Kllen Wand- less, now Ellen Wilson, she having married « another.\u201d The touching circumstance is that she was Nathaniel\u2019s cook at the Hall.He had, while she held that most responsible official position in his household, several times affered her his heart and his hand, sud as many times bad she repulsed ber amorous muster.But the trme love even of a lawyer cannot forget, and when Mr.Bates came to make his will he remembered the hard-heart- ed cook, aud 10 show that he still thrilled, throbbed, and dilated with au undyiog passion, he gave her, though she had become \u201c another's,\u2019 the nest little sum of one thousand unds ! It must be remembered, however, that Mrs.Fllen was 8quire Nathaniel's cook.The great Milton in one of the most charming of hia poems does not disdain to mention the savory messes which nest-banded l\u2019hillis dressus.It is not too much to suppose that this professional lady reached the heart of that profes- sionsl man through bis susceptible stomach : that sbe ravished him by her ronats, and aub- ducd him by her sauces ; that by gravy and gtuel abe conquered bim ; that by her pud- dinga and pies she made her own his somewhat ancient affections.The thing has been done before, and it will continue to be done while man shall masticate and swallow.So far are we frum regarding Mr.Bates's legacy 48 absurd, that we consider it to be ons of the most sensible which ever came under our notice, As we remember the leaden broad, the over-done or the under.done mest, the ponderous pastry, all God's good victual which, for our sins, we have been compelled to awal.low, the good cook soars in our estimation as the benefactress of her kind, as the truo phil- anibropist, as a form of life and light however fat, aud as more worthy of a starry-pointing pyiamid\u201d than the biggest aod bloodiest of conquerers, We desire to give pablicity to the fact that Mistress Ellen has come forward, claimed the devise, aud bad ber claim allowed, The Vice-Chauccllor has awarded hor the money aud the executor has ere this paid it over to her.Think of that, ye cooks, who dress dinners for well-to-do gentlemen! What man bas done man may do again.Dou't burn the beef, don't char the cutlets, don't petrify the egge, and who can say that yon will not come in for legacies of Are thousanl dollars, even if the man of the house does not offer to marry you\u2014N.F.Tribune, CONFEDERATION IN AUSTRALIA, As it seems to us, vot only Is the hour come but the man, The moment when the two;greateat colonies of the

determined to deal with their empbyers in the matter of bours and other interests very much in the apirit of a trades\u2019 union, Itisin many respectsa sorrowful sight, apart altogether from the question on which ale the right of the contest Vies.In foundries aad factories it has been sad enough to witness the growing spirit of alienation between employers and workmen, and to think of the ail, bard atmosphere in which work is carried onthe bitter east wind that blows all the year round in establishments whete sunshine and other genisl influences might have played, But when this bitter east wind ets into families and chills the atmosphere ofso many bomes ; when it crentes sourness in the nursery and throws a cloud over the rising years of children ; when it oppresses with care and trouble the hearts of wives Joy and chann of their households ; when it places servants and their employers in antagonism, and tempts eack to visw the actions of tokens the mlveiit of a woue evil than hax bitherto been known.Ur conrse, there has been abundance of this sort of thing bitherto ; but only in an unorganized state.What is now to be looked at is an organization of the whole, or 8 large class of domestic servants.And if this should take place, this further consequence must be anticipated, that in their dealings with their employers, little or no difference will be made, or can be made, by them between the kind and te unkind, and those who really strive to treat their domestic servants well will be exposed to the same restrictions, iroubles and annoyances a those who wre ut terly regardiess of their comfort.If, an a rule, servants are now bad, it in plain that à share of the blame must rest wih their employers.And the blame often lies iu the want of à fellow-feeling.If no consideration be bad for servants as possessing the same nature, baving similar cravings, hopes, joys, and sorrows to those of their emplorers, and if po efforts be uscd to make life anything to them but 8 dull round of weary treadmill routine, it is no wonder if they turn out badly.It the 6 Be treated as \u2018 the gront- est plague in life or habitually abused as a creature without good

Protestants than any other South American State, Religious toleration is not more complete than in the United States of Colombis, or iu Chili, but there is more general intelligence and more activity in the public mind, Never has the power of the Papacy gained such influence in Brazil as in most other countries.Twice iu the days of the viceroy.aity were tho Jesuits expelled, and although their power is doubtiess felt there, at this pre sent time they have no recognized existence and no encouragement fivm the State.The priesthood are poorly supported, and .it isa matter of public complaint that many of the ecclesiastical positions are without incumbents, As tothe character of the priests, it is admitted even by men of thoir own order that they are generally low in the scale cither of intelligence or morality.The fact that men often leave the priesthood for secular callings, and sometimes for high political trusta, gives an unusually froe scope to public discussions of the most délicate character in regard to the priesthood and the Church.More than once the question of separating the Braxilisn Church from all allegiance to Rome, has been started.Years ago n strong minority report wae introduced into the National Assembly by an ex-priest and an officer of bigh rank, in favor of abolishing the enforced celibacy of the clergy.The report pro- wed That since celibacy was neither en.Joined npon the clergy by divine law nor apostolic institutions, but on the contrary was the source of immorality among them ; therefore the Assembly should revoke the laws that constrained it, and notify the Pope of the ne- ccesity of revoking the ecclesiastical penalties Against clerical matrimony ; and in case these were not revoked within a given time that they should be nullified.\u201d \u201cTo the surprise of many,\u201d says Rev.Danicl P.Kidder, to whose work on Brasil we are tudebted for many facts, \u201cthis report was received with favor both by priests and by

more noteworthy than the growth of the iron manufacture during the last few years.It is a business, however, linble to great fluctuations, and its pre- «nt activity fa without example.This is partly because uations and peoples everywhere are anxious to possess themselves of the material means and appliances of civilization \u2014de- sire to multiply railways, bridges, steamships for river sud ocean transport, as they acver desired before\u2014and partly because we are ready not ouly to make these rails, marine eDgiues, and frou ships, but also to lend them the money which is to pay for them When we lend tive or six millions to make a railway abroad, it often Lappens that only portion of the money leaves the country, and | the rest 8 to pay for material and rolling- stock, which our manufacturers supply, It must be evident, however, that the rapid va.ristions in price, even when they are in the ascending direction, are very trying to the producer.It was observid yesterday that \u2018 many contracts taken at low prices have yet to be worked off.Shareholders in à great colonial milway may remember that, at the balf- jeaily meeting held laet April, the chairman saidthat the company Lad à contract with à certain company of iron-masters for the dulivery of 42,000 teus of steel rails during the present «nd two fullowing years ata price much below the price of mils then ruling.The price was pot specified, but we may recall that this time ar British baz iron was quoted at il per ton, and that last werk the price was 137.per ton.An advance of 5/.per tou on the g'ran- | tity named would amount to 210,000.Wedo rot mention 1his as an instance of a loss nc- tualiy sustaived, for circumstances may arise to prevent ita full realization ; but the case shows in & striking

performed as a pautomimist at the Metropolitan aud at minor music halls, and at the Burrey Theatre is no other than Viscount Hinton, bieir to Earl Poulett.The aur- prise created by this fact becoming known was, however, intensified by the additional knowledge that Miss Smythe, comicsinger and ballet dancer, who is still professionally en- goged at the Metropolitan ard other music balls, is Viscountess Hinton, she having been married to the young lord in December, 1849, snd by whom she has issue one son, born in 1870, Famaun Srrrrace 1x Exocann.\u2014 The London Eraminer bas discovered that {n sixty.six municipal slections In England out of every 1000 women who enjny equal rights with men où the register 516 went to the poll, which ie but 48 less than the proportionate number of men, And out of 27,948 women registered where a8 contest occurred 14,416 voted.Of men there were 166,781 on the register, and 94,090 at the poll.The Æraminrr draws this conclurlon: « Making allowance for the reluctance of old spinaters to change their bablte, and the more frequent lilness of the sex, it ta manifest that women, if they bad opportunity, wonld exercise the franchise as freely ao men.There is an end, therefore, of the argument that women would not vote if they bad the power.\u201d HoctaL Rank iv Enetaxo.\u2014lHere Is a new definition of sociel rank which may, perhaps, interest you republicans.An action for breach of promise has just been tried in Dublin.The fair plaintiff was the daughter of a dressmakor, but claimed to bo a © adr On hor cross examination she was

lives on the money paid for the bonnets, but she takes rank above ber mamma by vire tue of the proud fact that she doss not know bow to make anything.I think this decidedly better than the contest for gentility between the Higgs family and tho Diggs family, record- vighteen months ago by a class of producers «nd merchants who are generally credited with a tolerable amount of courage.The dematd for iron found our stocks unusually low, because the belicl was common that the trade had suffered from over production.Gur mavufacturers, it is uow seen, have missed a fine chance; they forbore to accumu- Isto stocks when labor was relatively cheap and the workman has got the benefit of the pew demand, Une more point to be noticed is that our producers, both employers and employed, must not look for the prrmanetce | of the conditions which now favor high prices, The Germon aud the French works will be restored in time to their former state, and all the sooner for the stimulus of high

you may properly relinquish the performance of your arduous duties for a term of repose which haa been bonorably earned by your devoted assiduity.I rajoice to inform you that the controversy which has arisen between my Govern.went and the United Btates in consequence of the presentation of the American claims for indirect damages under the Treaty of Washington was composed by a spontaneous declaration of the Arbitrators entirely consistent with the views I announced to you at the opening of the session.Im concurrence with your action on the part of the United Kingdom, the Palisment A Canada bas passed Acts necessary to give effect to the Treaty within the Dominion, All ments contemplated by that instrument are therefore now in progress, and I reflect with satisfaction that the subjects with which it has dealt no longer offer any impediment to perfect concord between two kindred nations.Since 1 addressed you at the commencement of the session I have received from France a formal notice which would bring to an cnd the commercial treaty of 1860.That Government, however, has indicated à desire for further communications.In any correspondence on the subject I shall be guided by my earnest snxiety to secure attention to the just claims of my subjects, by the friendly feeling which has so long united the two countries, and iy my conviction of the moral as well as material benefits derived by each from tree intercourse between them.1 had great satisfaction in concluding with Germany u treaty in conformity with the provisions of the Act of 1870, for the mutual surrender of fugitive criminals.1 am engaged in framing similar arrangements with other powers.My Government has taken steps intended to prepare the way for dealing more effectually with the slave trade on the East coast of Africa, 1 have cheerfully given my assent to an Act of the Legislature of Cape Colony for the establishment in that colony of what is now generally known as responsible government.Gentlemen of the House of Commons : My acknowledgments are due you for the ample provision which you bave made for the various exigencies of the public service.My Lords and Gentlemen : Although the wants and expectations of the country seem to outstrip every effort of I'ar- lament in its careet of legislative improve.menta, I notice with satisfaction the additions which you have been enabled to make during tue present year to our laws, The Act fn reference to the outrages on natives in tke Islands of the Pacific Oceun is well designed, by providing for a mere easy and effectual prevention and punishment of the offences at which it is aimed, to promote the ends of humanity and the honor of the Empire, The Act for the localization of the army, while it strengthens the defensive system of the country, will lend indispensable aid in effecting those important reforms which bave been approved by Parliament, The Act which establishes the Ballot will assist to secure alike the independence of the voter and the tranquillity and purity of elec tions for members of Parliament.Although you bave been unable, during the present session, to mature any moans directed against cerrupt practices in the choice of members ofthe House of Commons, I observe, with pleasure, that the cognate aubject of municipal elections has bad your attention, and that you have presented to mo a law which is well calculated to check existing evils, and which provides a tribunal for trying the validity of such elections.By the Scottish Education Act, you have made provision for farther extension and greater efficacy of the tralning of the young throughout Scotland, in accordance with the conscientious and deep-rooted convictions of the people and with the principles of religious freedom.The Act for establishing a Board of Local Government lu Irclaud, modelled on the English statute of 1871, supplies machinery for giving effect to many useful laws, and promises to extend within that portion of the United Kingdom solid benefits to popular 1o- cal institutions: The measure for amendment of the Act of Uniformity,based upon careful inquiry aud on a large amount of ascertained consent has, without offence or shock introduced useful modifications into the ancient system of divine worship to which a large portion of my people are warmly attached.The Public Health Act, though it does not embrace all enactments which could Lave been desired, has by establishment of efficient and duly organised local authorities done much, both for the enforcement of present \u2018sanitary laws and for rendering more easy what yet remains to be accomplished in the way of legislative provisions on the subject, The act for regulating the custody and man- ment of the re funds held by the Court Chsaoery will relieve a numerous class of suitors in that Court from the riske and inconveniences to which they may heretofore have been more or loss ex , and likewise tend to incrense the etability of our finances.I am gratified to find by the Act for the regulation of Mines that you have been enabl- od to supply new securities for the safoty snd advantage of à large portion of my subjects en- mgd in this great branch of industry, ¢ enactments embodied in the measure for the regulation of the licensing system constitute a sensible Improvement upon the existing Jaw.I trust the several regulations for the police which they include will be found conducire to public order, 1 am able to speak favorably both of the tranquillity and growing prosperity of Ireland, The revenue fo in a flourishing condition.While I cordisily congratulate you on the activity of trade and industry, F hope it will be borne in mind that peri of unusually rapid changes In the prices of commodities, and In the value of labor, are likewise periods which more than ever call for the exercise of moderation and forethought.in bidding you farewell, I ask you to join with me in scknowledgiog the abuadant mercies of Almighty God, {imploring thelr continuance, THE TRIBUNAL.Oursva, Aug.10.\u2014The Quesn'e Messenget, bearing depen supposed to be of little Thing bow bit.aay od

TRIBUNAL.Gesnva, Aug.12\u2014Mr.Cohen, the English Baurister who drew up the report for the Crown on the subject of American claims for losses sustained by the mercantile marine of the U 5., has been summoned here from London.This givesrise to the conjecture that ads cision has been rendered by the Board upon the general question of England's responsibility for direct loses claimed by America, and that Coben is called in to assist the British Counsel in arguing upon the amount of damages to be asessed by the Board, One of many sports current here concern- Ing the proceedings of the Board is that the present position of the Arbitration is, that after the cases of ae two Governments were presented, counæl on?either side went into s lengthy discussion \u2018regarding England'a responsibility, the argument turning maluly vpon the questions whether the British authorities bad exercised due diligence to prevent Confederate cruisers from es.caplag out of her ports, and whether any such responsibility as America claims foilewed upon permission to suid cruisers to taks coal at British stations, Loundell Palmer opened the discussion on these points.Ho epoke at great length in support of the positions taken in the British cass, Waite, Evarts end Cushing replibd, the latter closing the argument on behalf of the United States.In bis summing up, Cushing strongly urged the point that the same diligence upon the part of the British authoritics which afterwards served to detain the Confederate rams, would have been equally effectual in preventing the escape of the cruisers had it been exercised.YACHTING.Losnox, Aug.12.\u2014=Tho Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta was brought to à conclusion on Saturday.The challenge cup presented by the Prince of Wales was won by
