It is said that a despatch has been received at the American Legation in Vienna from Mr. Seward, announcing that the Emperor Maximilian has been sentenced to exile, and that he has left for Europe and will laud in England. -ITAL1, (PBOH OUB pWN C0ESESPONDEST.) FLORENCE, June 19. The Chamber continues to work away at the budgets of the different 1 ministries, if not with all the industry which the circumstancjs of the case and the urgency of the time require, and which would be matter of course, and is indeed the ordinary every day practice of our House of Cpnvmons, yet with a tolerably commendable activity, and in a business-like spirit.

In every case the various (FB0H OSJB OWN C0351ESPOM2SI5 PARIS, Saturday Evening, The present generation scarcely remembers' so great a night'at the Theatre Frahcais as there was on Thursday for the revival of M. Victor Hugo's All his dramatic "works -have hitherto been remorselessly proscribed in France, ever since the cowp d'Stat, and that not because there is in them anything specially hostile to Napoleonic institutions, for they were written long, before the, be allowed, provided always that the money was raised by creations of ordinary stock at par, we should have heard nothing of these troubles, nor could any one have a right to complain. Contractors' lines would never have been projected, save in those rare instances when the shareholders would have benefited by them. Thus far, however, the mischief has been done all that can be accomplished is to prevent it from extending. The remedy is easy.

Parliament has but to make a standing order that neither preference nor loan stocks shall hereafter be issued and although this will not cure the injury done in the past, it will at least obviate any in the future. i tne.ist 01 July- Beyond the holders of i seats, members of diplomatic emus, jinrl "xi pleted in the nave of the Palais de l'Industrie, ia the Champa Eiyse'es, and which, it is said, will ac- jjr vr Ann ij Jected, bring a handsome sum to the treasury of the imperial commissioners. A little crowd of emperors, and tongs, and princes will be on view. The taste for such an exhibition is both keen and gene-; ral. The throng will be immense.

I know no better way of classifying it than to say that it will consist of the opera-goers of all nations. It will be a select mob. The imperial commission has issued a declaration to the effect that no tickets are sold for the grand ceremonial at the Palais de l'Industrie oa reserved Ci? tions of state bodies, only subscribers have a riehir kibu ui ujju ceremony. A writer in the Epoque, smarting possibly under' his experiences of the opening day, makes this terse comment on the commissioners' notice" Et lefl journalistes, done THE TMAINlNa-SmP WOSCESTEn. Of late years an opinion has generally prevailed' that the mercantile marine is not so well officered as befits, the character of British commanded.

To remedy this defect a number of persons connected with the port of: Liverpool set on foot a college for the training of gentlemen for the merchant servioe. The conspicuous success which has attended tbt)onway has led to an imitation of the experiment in thgfharaes. For this government in 1862 presented the committee with the! frigate Worcester, which has since been moored off Erith. During the four years 365 pupils have' been en -ered, of whom 240 have completed their education, leaving 125 still on board. On Saturday the annual distribution of prizes was made by Sir John PakiDgton, M.P.

Mr. Cave, M.P., and Sir John Hay, M.P., weie ako present and letters of regret were received from the Duke of Kichinond, Mr. Henley, M.P., aud other distinguished public men. The company, which was verv numerous, consisted of friends of the pupils and of gentlemen Interested in the institution, for whose accommodation the saloon steamer Palmeraton was specially chartered. The chair having been taken by Mr.

Cave, the hon. secretary, Mr. V7. M. Bullivant, read the reports of the examiners Mr.

Snell, mathematical and nautical master at the Royal Hospital schools, Greenwich; Captain John Domett, of the LocalMarine Board; and Captain Comber, E.N. as well as of Capt. Whitby, the commander of the ship, andMr. Bead, the headmaster. They were all of a mosfe satisfactory character.

Sir John Pakington thenpresented the prizes, which were of an unusually mlnnhle i-lmrantoi. and afterwards warmly congratulated the school on the excellent character that had been given it by the examiners, on whose reports he felt he could place entire reliance, because they had evidently not fallen into the error sometimes committed by examiners, namely, that of giving inaiscriminate praise. He must also congratulate the scholars on theirappearance. Unless they had adopted the fashion of the army, and put the best looking fellows in the front, he must say he had never seen a jollier or a more promising set of lads before. It was his great good fortune, seven or eight years ago, to recommend the grant of the Conway for a training ship at Liverpool, and ho trusted that the Worcester would emulate the success whioh had attended that experiment in the Mersey.

Although no longer at the Admiralty he should always bo ready to render the Worcester any service in his power, and he trusted that it would: tend to cement those feelings of amity and brotherhood which ought to subsist between officers of the Eoyal Navy and those of the mercantile marine. Mr. Henry Green, as a member of the committee, expressed hia acknowledgement to Sir John Pakington for the kind terms in which -he had spoken of the institution. They were indebted to a Whig government for the ship, but he must say that that government had scamped the fittings. After the remarks of Sir John PakiDgton, however, the committee would feel no delicacy in applying to a conservative administration if they should stand in need of any assistance in the shape of T.

The Chairman announced that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant the same prizes to the Worcester as she annually gave to the Conway, a gold medal and also a cadetship in the royal navy with a binocular glass worth 51., and towards the boy's outfit. After the distribution of prizes refreshments were served to the company, who were then invited to join in a dance upon the deck. The thoughtful benevolence of the energetic honorary secretary suggested an admirable mode of bringing a very pleasant day to a profitable close. Before returning to London he directed the Palmerston to be taken to Greenhithe, for the purpose of paying a visit to another training ship of a very different character. This was the Chichester, a 50 gun frigate, whioh was presented by the government in October last to the committee of the Eefuge for Homeless and Destitute Boys.

When full the vessel would accommodate 200 lads, but at present the funds at the disposal of the committee only allow them to admit half that number. When the Palmerston came alongside the bovs manned the vards. and were afterwards drawn up on deck. It was touching to contrast them with the scholars of the Worcester. The average expression of a Woroester and of a Chichester boy shows that class distinctions in English society do in their extremes amount to differences between castes.

Nobody would ever have supposed that the puer ingenui vidtus, and the boy whose very countenance spoke of hereditary ignorance and neglect in short, of hereditary street life could belong to the same national race. The company subscribed which will enable three more of the poor, lost, degraded urchins of the metropolis to be rescued from a fife of misery and vice, and placed in the way of earning an honest and reputable subsistence. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. The annual examination of the boys and girls of the Commercial Travellers' Schools at Pinner took place on Saturday. For some years the event has been, regarded by large numbers of friends of the institution, as well'aB by the soholars who, receive its benefits, as a yearly holiday, and consequently the little road-side station during the morning received some hundreds of ladies and gentlemen who had come by special" from London.

A pretty floral device over the wicket gave them a hearty Welcome," and the band of the schools marched ahead to lead the way to the grounds. The weather was briaht. and the country fragrant and beautiful in the midst of its hay-making and flower blossoms, while an abundance of trees afforded the Bhade essential to the enjoy- ment of a thorough summer fete. To use the word excellent" in connexion with such an institution as this is something more than a mere form, for the schools standalone in the work they undertake, and are intended for the good of a class about whom a peculiar interest is always felt. Although the rapid srowth of railways has greatly changed the occupation of the commercial traveller as compared with the time when he was continually on the road," there are still between 20,008 and 30,000 commercial travellers in the country.

These schools are designed for the clothing, maintenance, and education of their orphan and necessitous children. Every -denomination is admitted, but once in the schools the cnuoren nave to attend tne worship or the church of England. Their friends, however, have the privilege of choosing whether they shall be taught from the cate- chism of the church of England or that of the Assem- bly of Divines at Westminster. There are as many as ninety-five rules by which the conduct of the schools is regulated, and the elaborate manner in which even the smallest detail has been decided upon and laid down suggests the business-like capacities and habits of the men who drew up the deed of While most other institutions of a benevolent character have this year reported a falling off of funds, the balance-sheet of the Commercial Travellers' Schools shows an increase of nearly a goodly aura having been yielded by tha' mahogany pence boxes, which may be seen, in connexion with the picture of the schools and grounds, over the mantel-piece of hotels throughout the country. The board from time to time add to the property at Pinner, and they have now some capital farming land upon whioh they rear cattle, make hay, and conduct other agricultural operations.

At present the board have under discussion some necessary works of improvement in the buildings. In the face of increased and increasing numbers, the last general court of governors recommended the enlargement of the girls' schoolroom and dormitories. Friends of the institution may accept this announcement as an appeal for renewed pecuniary aid. The oral examination of Saturday, conducted by Mr. Saunders, of the British and Foreign School Society, showed that a sound and extensive education is being given, and that the soholars are, as a whole, quick and well-informed.

Ques- wons were asked ana answered upon scripture history and geography, English grammar, Latin and French, geogra- -phy, history, arithmetic, Euclid, and algebra. The more solid portions of the programme were interspersed with selections of vocal music, charmingly nung by the children. Miss Parnell, the matron, and the several in- structora, were delighted as, indeed, they are every year to see amongst the visitors many who used to be in- mates of the school, and who, as subscribers and sup- porters, now came back to encourage their old teachers11 and friends. The afternoon was spent in sports and pro- menading in the fields, children and visitors joining in the pastimes. Mr.

The numbers were comparatively, small, throughput last week, and on Sunday last it was what the habitue's who remembered the crowds of a fortnight since, called de serted." Nor, when the Vicerov naid his firat visit on Mondav morninc. did hin hicrhnnna hrincr back the Crowd with him. Mr. UnVham Vnnncr the Mormon Commissary-General to the Exhibition, has added himself to the list of distin Frangais, and are engaged by some French speculator to serve tea at a franc a head, the said speculator advertising the Chinese lady's little feet as of Chinese nobility, "Two savages are announced as having made their appearance in the park, and tasted Ind, Coope, and ales.

The high Egyptian functionaries who are in attendance on the Viceroy were to be seen on Tuesday smoking chibouks outside the Turkish cafe. A real Chinaman has been caught for the French tea-shop. The French giant, it is announced, has paid a formal visit to the Celestial colossus all this within a week, and yet the week has been a dull one at the turnstile's. The bitter March weather has had something to do with it the weather was undoubtedly the reason why the vafYof j-m n.nanU 1 J.L i 6" uuu jiuw uuj summer near, is returning, and the commissioners and other authorities appear determined to work popular excitement up to a climax for July. The entertainments in preparation are mostly, on a gigantic scale.

The exhibitors of 1867 propose to entertain Napoleon the Third, and to offer the presidency tp M. Schneider, the chairman of the Corps Legislatif, and the master-spirit of Creuzot. The beautiful horticultural section is to be the scene of a fairylike ffite by night. The Imperial Commissioners promise to invite the exhibitors to an evening's entertainment, of which the entire Bois de Boulogne is to be the scene. These high festivities will take place when the second instalment of kings and royal princes shall be gathered within the' fortifications.

There will be a sound of revelry by night every night. Prince Humbert, the Duke of Mecklenburg, the two illustrious nouveaux mariis the Prince and Princess of Aosta, and the Count and Countess of Flanders, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Baden. and Prince Napoleon, might all visit the Exhibition together, and they would create no excitement. The habituis look upon them with about the degree of emotion which a member of the Alpine Club feels at the sight of Primrose-hill. During the last meeting of the Superior Council of the International Jury, M.

Hoffmann read a letter of thanks written in the name of foreign members, addressed to the Imperial Commission. The foreign juries declare themselves thoroughly satisfied with the general organisation of the Exhibition, and the results obtained and they express their hearty gratitude for the welcome which has been given to them. The Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works. who presided at the meeting, thanked the foreign members sincerely, at the same time expressing a hope that this Universal Exhibition would be an agreeable remembrance to them all, and would serve to promote goodwill among exhibitors of all nations. These exchanges of international courtesies and aspirations for peace do not, it would seem, divert the attention of the smallest European powers from duty of keeping their powder dry.

The King of Bavaria has appointed a commission of seven officers to visit the Exhibition. They are to examine, and make a government report on, the inventions and improvements which they think might be introduced into the Bavarian army. While the hymn of peace is preparing, autho rities from every quarter of Europe are narrowly examining every engine of war (and the collection is immense on the Champ de Mars) that civilisa tion has produced for wholesale' man-slaying on scientific principles. Let me turn from" war to harmony. In the coming musical competition France will be represented in military musio by the band of the bruides.

The ot the Belgians is to send the bands of his Guides and Grenadiers the Queen of Spam, that of the 1st Regiment of En gineers and the King of Holland, those of the unasseurs and grenadiers. The (irand JDuchy of Baden is represented in military music by the Grenadiers of the Guard and Austrian military music, by the regiment of Marshal Benedek. There have been loud and general and long-continued complaints of the absence of music from the Champ de Mars; The braying of a steam-trumpet may be a perfect fog-signal at sea but it is not plea sant music in an exhibition of industry. People tire also of fanfares they even become angry with the trumpeters when they hear that sweeter music is provided in a reserved garden hard bv for those who can pay an extra entrance fee. MM.

H. Herz and Co. have just sent, a new piano to the musical instrument section of the French department. It is in the Louis Quatorze style, and is said by judges to be a wonderful instrument. The case is undoubtedly a marvellous sample of tasteful and careful cabinet work.

The loungers about this part of the building were delighted with Madame Escudier-Kastner's performance on it, the day of its arrival. The exhibits that are disposed along the ciuavs. and the yachts and pleasure crafts of every variety that are moored by the shore, begin to be objects of attraction to the crowd. For long time this part of the Exhibition was, not under a cloud, but under water. Tt has been officially announced in every quarter, and made manifest by the visits of the Emperor's illustrious guests, that the installation Of the naval exhibit of naval architecture, which has been frequently interrupted by the overflowing of the Seine," is now entirely completed.

There is another Exhibition monopolyunder dis cussion, that ot the Exhibition plan, drawn by MM. Frezouls and Bousquel, which is being heard before the tribunals. It seems that these monopolies and concessions will never be at an end. should have thought M. Dentu had had quite enough with the Lebigre-Duquesne trial.

Why cannot the public be left to decide on the merits of two plans Concessionaires, if they were not very short-sighted, would see by this time that the tribunals are not disposed to strain a point in their favour to the public disadvantage. A week ago, after the judgment obtained by M. Bernard who would demand two sous from The sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, if he could get at him a rumour flew round the busy food circle to the effect that every chair would be swept away. But they are still packed to the edge of the open gallery, to the discomfort of visitors who are not beer-drinkers or consomma-teurs. The temperate man must walk in the sun, while the bon vkant revels in the shade, and ladies who are no patrons of bar-keepers must walk in all the noontide heat of a Paris June.

M. Bernard has taken little by his motion. Would that he had taken more, and had cleared a promenade in the shade. There are chess tournaments held every evening in the conference saloon or in the international concert room of the club. The most celebrated chess players join in these contests.

Among the foremost are Anderson, of London Neumann, of Berlin, and the champion of Prussia. Mr. Morphy the king of chess is to be here, and has announced his willingness to give odds to the greatest among the great, so that there is no doubt that the chess congress of 1867 will be one of absorbing interest, and will be a memorable one in the history of this noble ganie. On Monday the sixth flower show in the reserved garden opened. Some magnificent roses are artistically grouped round the Emperor's pavilion.

In the tent devoted to fruits and vegetables there is a rich show of cut roses. The tropical plants are exhibited in the small hothouses. The banana trees are put in the great Crystal Palace.

It is stated that persons of note from Hanover are about to assemble in Berlin to corner with tjtie Prussian Government upon the state of affairs in that province.

FLORENCE, June 23, In yesterday's sitting the Chamber of Deputies commenced the discussion of the budget of the Ministry of War.

The Committee on the Church Property Liquidation Bill have appointed Signer Ferraris as their reporter. The- Florence Gazette asserts that a perfect understanding on the subject of the bill exists between the committee and Signor Rattazzi, the President of the Council. The Opinione states that the plan of the committee reserves the provisions ot the law ot 7th July, 1866, with the additional stipulation.that a portion of the ecclesiastical property subject to conversion shall be appropriated to the purposes or public worship () The alienation ot the church pro perty requiring; to be brought to a termination' within a tew years, the committee, it is thought, will propose to authorise the government to issue credit securities, such as mortgage bonds, redeemable at a fixed period of the otit of the produce of the same property. The issue would require to be made, one moiety by public subscrip tion in the interior, and the other procured by negotiations, with public credit establishments at i or with foreign; houses. It is added," continues the Opinione, that the committee, fully recognising that the proposed issue could not be effected in the present position o'f the national finances but oh onerous conditions, has decided to deter the operation until an imposition of fresh taxes or a change in the existing taxes shall assure the treasury about 80 millions (lire) of increased revenue.

The Emperor, wisely yielding to the manifest spirit of the time, has withdrawn the interdiction, and I am not one of those who think it was worth while on the part of liberal politicians, to go to the theatre for the sole purpose of underlining, by uproarious and protracted applause, any. expression which, by the, most strained construction, be interpreted as hostile to the existing dynasty and existing institutions. The government journals complain that this was done the majority of the audience.

Some few lines were, I believe, omitted or mutilatad, by order of the censorship; and these alterations, instantly perceived by the watchful Iiousb, provoked loud cries of The text, the text!" But in some instances "the text "was cried with indiscreet for the text had been revised and changed by the poet himself Apart from the political aspect of the soirie it was an immense success, for, Victor Hugo. Men of all parties were there, the courtiers Nieuwerkerie and Chaix-d'Est-Ange sitting cheek oy jowl with the republicans Oremieux, Marie Eugene. Pelletari. and Jules Simon. The Grand Duchess Marie of Russia occupied tie Emperor's box.

Prince Napoleon, Auber (now 85 years old), and Alexandre Dumas were among the audience. The, critics' bench in. the stalls was an grand complet. Old playgoers recognised the prin cipal survivors, now bald -or white-headed, of that enthusiastic young band of frequenters of the Francais which fought the battle of the romantiques against the classiques wheniTmiani was played for the: first time in 1830. These "centurions of 1830j" who formerly fought so hard, now gained a Dioodiess viotory.

Lemiitre's answer, "riow to be seen in all the shop windows, is original and touching. He says, ittKe-r-Uaricature young Time does the work for the old." It is true that a Pole was arrested at the Hotel de France, at Fontainebleau, on suspicion of meditating some attack on the Czar during his visit to that town. The authorities have now admitted that their suspicion was unfounded, for having been able to nnd nothing against the prisoner, thev have released him. The Appeal Court of Paris has iust tried acurious action on a bill of exchange.

A lady, whose real name was Madlle. Schumaker, but who preferred to call herself Madlle. Labruyere, was for some years prior to June, lbb, one ot the queens of the demi monde of Paris. Last summer she became by marriage a member of the grand monde, for she was then espoused by a of undoubted high rank and ancient lineage, bearing the names, styles, and titles -of Count de Gruery and Beauregard deMombreil, and Marquis d'Or-vault. Very shortly before her marriage she made the acquaintance, at a public ball, a gentleman, of family and fortune named des Their- liaison lasted a few days only, but shortlived as the connection was it endured long enough for Mdlle.

Schumaker alias Labruyere to obtain from him securities to the amount of 3, 000Z. sterling. An action being brought for the best half of the money, M. des Isnards-Suze suffered judgment to go by default, and that sum was paid before execution could be issued. To a second action, brought shortly afterwards, before the Tribunal of Commerce on a bill of exchange for no serious defence was offered, and judgment was given in the plaintiff's favour on the mere production of the written document.

This second judgment would probably have been satisfied like the first, had not the defendant supposed, naturally enough, that the noble count and marquis would scorn to dirty his fingers with the proceeds of a bill signed under the circumstances above stated. In this 1 expectation he was deceived. The noble count and marquis supported his wife in pressing for execution and resisting the appeal, and M. Lelon Duval appeared as counsel for the spouses I d'Orvault." The court, after hearing M. Allbu, the batonnier, for the appellant, and Advocate-General Salle, who was of opinion that the judgment should be reversed, decided that the bill for being manifestly given for an immoral consideration was null and on the principle ex turpis contractu non oritur actio.

The noble Count de Guery et Beauregard de Mombreil, Marquis d'Orvault, and the noble countess and marquise his wife, therefore, lost their cause, and were saddled with all the costs. The papers of all shades of politics complain that the absurd regulations framed to prevent the public from following for any useful purpose the debates in the chamber render it impossible without risk of prosecution to give an account of the important debate of yesterday. What is falsely styled the the analytical report is too long to be found room for, and the journals dare not analyse for themselves. The Bourse was weaker than yesterday, and there was an indisposition to do business. The rumour that the Emperor will announce a general disarmament in his speeoh on July 1, meets with much incredulity.

The Emperor Napoleon has addressed the following letter to Marshal Vaillant, dated June 11 I received on the occasion of the sad occur-rence of the 6th June an address from the superior council of the international jury of the Exhibition. I was particularly touched by this manifestation, and I hereby beg you to transmit to those gentlemen my most heartfelt thanks," It is said that a grand banquet will be offered to Napoleon III, by the exhibitors of the Universal Exhibition.

Prince Charles, brother of the King of Prussia, is espeoted in Paris on the 1st or 2nd of July, la company with his wife, the Princess Maria of Saxe-Weimar. Prince Charles is now 66 years of age. Among the etes to be given on the occasion of the visit of the Sultan to Paris is a grand review to take place at the camp of Chalons. It is said that the sovereign of Turkey will spend a day at Corsica on his way to France. I commissions appointed to examine the as prpposed by the different ministers have suggested notable economies and diminutions of expense, but in many instances the Chamber has insisted on yet further reductions.

The' budget of the Ministry of Interior is now under discussion, and the first incident of importance which arc Be in connexion with it was a vigorous attack by the left on the article of "Spese segrete "secret service money. The minister asked for one million two hundred thousand francs the commission proposed to reduce the sum to one million. But the interest of the debate, did not turn upon this difference, but on a fierce attack by the Left on the general principle of secret service money, and on a proposal made by them, specially riBi, mjG commission snouid pe named to inquire into the expenditure of secret service money during a certain portion of the time during which the last government i.e., that of Baron Ricasoli was in office. This proposal occasioned a storm in the Chamber. and has been received by the generality, of the press in a manner very strikingly, characteristic of one of the most remarkable peculiarities of Italian character the shrinking tear ot 'f 'scandal." Were this the proper place to do it, and were time and space ad libitum, it would be interesting to, point out how the doctrines and practices of Italian Roman Catholicism have engendered this tempera ment, and how that teaching is still operative in the national character, long after all conscious belief in the authority of the teacher has vanished.

The result of many genera tions subjected to such teaching is that there is little or no reverence for, of -belief in, the value of truth as such. It is immediately and instinctively felt by an Italian, that if there, is any danger any suspicion that inquiry might ieaa to unpleasant! discoveries, what is most desir able, decent, proper, is that the whole matter" should be immediately covered up, and hushed in Bilence, and scandal" avoided. All the minisr terial speakers and defenders, and all the writers in the newspapers who have been enlarging on the same theme, seem to overlook the faot that their great objections to inquiry fact plead guilty to the existence of malpractices, which cannot bear tne iignt ot day. much has been said about the practice of England in the matter of secret service some of the members of the Left having incautiously asserted thatno such thing was known in England, which gave the better informed writers of the ministerial press the opportunity of being down upon them, What they should have said, apart from the obvious argument against- the morality of secret service money, whether used by or any body else, was, that the example of England is nothing to the purpose, as regards the practice in Italy, because the character of pub lic men there is notoriously such as to make such suspicions and such accusations as the use of secret service money gives rise to in Italy utterly out of the question. Much as opposition members may think that secret service money is often used in England for purposes whjch they would politically blame, no one ever dreams' of its being appropriated to other than political uses.

I entirely believe that the sums of secret service money expended by Baron Ricasoli were used only for such electoral purposes as, however objectionable, many an' Eng lish ministry has similarly served. But I am sure that any English minister, assailed by such accusations as have been current (I do not say in the Chamber) againBt the Baron would loudly demand inquiry, instead of deprecating the scandal of it.

At the gape very little parliamentary business had yet, been done. Suggestions had been thrown out by the government for abolishing the existing legislative bodies, and substituting in their stead a single chamber; but these suggestions. were re ceived with universal disapprobation by.

the colonial press. The Colonial had intimated that he was about to move a series ot resolutions on the subject but it was alleged in the colony that should those resolutions at all resemble the suggestions contained in the opehr ing speech there was not a shadow of probability ot their being favourably received. No further steps had yet been taken upon the proposed withdrawal of the troops by the imperial government. Public feeling had grown a little quieter on that subject, but was still strongly opposed tothe measure. The Colonial Secretary had intimated in his place in parliament that the government.

would not initiate any legislative action in connection with the withdrawal of the troops, but would co-operate as far as possible with any course adopted by the two houses. A long series ot resolutions ol remonstrance were about to be moved in the Cape parliament against the withdrawal. The colonists that the compulsory annexation of British Kaffraria to them had been enforced by the home government. notwithstanding the protest of the Cape parlia ment, and yet now they were called: upon to detend that district. The home government's despatches on this measure had been published, and: strong feeling was exhibited against the governor, Sir P.

B. Wodehouse, tor the part he had taken the matter. The state trials arising out of the proceed ings against some members or the Jianrarian Mutual Protection Society at King William's- town, who took the law into their own hands to obtain redress for some acts of the natives, who had also taken the law into their own hands, had resulted in the conviction of the natives and their severe punishment. The European farmers were acquitted. The interference of the government in thia affair had provoked much ill-feeling among the European population of that neighbour hood, from their believing that the fanners were compelled to tate the law into their own hands, owing to the neglect of the government to give efficient protection to property.

The result of the trials was, however, somewhat censured by some of the papers in other districts. Fine rams had continued to fall all over the colony, and the season was an unusually favourable one for agriculture. Wool wp abundant, but the means for its transit in the colony very de fective. Fears had been entertained in the colony that the frightful fever at Mauritius would be extended to the Cape, by vessels coming from Mauritius. Some of the vessels from that island had been submitted to quarantine, but the medical, officer of health was of opinion there was no likelihood that such a fever would be propagated in the colony.

Bishop Uolenso had tried the Key. J. Green, Dean of Mauritzburg, the Rev. T. G.

The following document bits been addressed by the Cretan committee of the province of Rethymnos tothe consular agents of the great powers in this city To the agents of the three great protecting powers, Franoe, England, and Russia, and their allies.

Gentlemen, We, the humble undersigned, representatives of the four districts of the province of Rethymnos herewith protest before you against all the unheard of excesses, cruelties, wicked attempts, and acts of profanation andbarbarityperpetrated by the troops of Omar Pasha on their passage through this distriot from the 3rd to the 8th inst. When the Turkish general received from us the reply that we would not lay down our arms, and that our watchword was "Liberty or death!" he ordered his troops to march through the villages and set them all in flames. This they rigorously carried out, destroying and profaning all the churohes burning alive many old men and women, some of them octogenarians inhumanly outraging several young men and girls (among others a little girl eight years old), nutting out their eyes and finally burning them alive. They also out down all the olive trees, and reduced the entire district to a mere waste. The spectator shudders at these barbarous atrdoities.

We therefore, gentlemen, protest against such acts, and request yon to bring them to theknowledge of your august governments, in order that they may see to what a barbarous government they allow the unfortunate people of Crete to be subjected.
