ENGLAND.
Istt4 rreremc of Peera aad DMgr to tha
Peerage.
The London Telegraph, of July 29, says:
The lnteiteronce ot peers at elections pro
mises to rise to such a height in the coming
contest that, if it were as successful as the
noble in traders desire, it might be a question
whether our "lower" Chamber should not be
culled the House of Lords. The state of affairs
at Cardiff Is wonderfully instructive. The town,
as is generally known, ''belongs" to Lord Hutu.
He is lord of the soil, and almost ot all that is
thereon. When he nods Cardiff moves;
when he frowns Cardiff trembles, and when
he smiles all tbe windows are illuml
nuted and a public dinner is organized.
This happy local illustration of the well-known
trnth that Britons cspe:ially West Britons
never shall bo slaves, acquires new color,
vividness, and force, from the event of the last
few dayp. Colonel Stuart, cousin to the Mar
quis of Bute, or else we should not venture to
name him, is member for Cardiff, and a Liberal.
But the Marquis himself is a minor, a student at
Christ Church, Oxlord;and, having by some
mysterious means been influenced into a (It of
Toryism, tbe boy has authorized his trustee to
support, against Colonel Htuart, Mr. Glffard,
Queen's coansel, the Tory candidate. What In
fluence his conservative relations broueht to
bear on the little lord, we do not know; they
may have promised him a new cricket bat, a
big gun, "lots of holidays," no more Greek,
aud leave to sit up late; at all events
the boy wrote to his big cousin,
the Colonel, saving that lie in
tended to give Mr. GiBard "negative support,"
but not to iudulee in "active antagonism" to his
relation. Tbat promise, however, did not satisfy
the tory trustee, a Mr. Boyle he wanted more.
We earnestly hope. If it is not asking
too much, that tbe liberal electors of Cardiff
sincerely liberal by a large majority will disre
gard the extorted letters and words of the young
lord, and the brutally brusque advice of the im
pertinent trustee, and that Colonel Stuart will be
again returned lor the seat. If not, so much the
worse for marquees next year. Every little fact
that exhibits peers in Insolent opposition to the
people "tells trumpet-toneued" for the views of
the thinkers in this country as yet a minority
who already talk about transforming our heredi
tary Chamber into a benate, with looltsh boys
like Lord Bute, and incompetent old gentlemen
like the Duke of Portland, relegated to the ob
cute opulence of do nothing millionaires.
Johm Bright' Posltlsm 1st Birmingham
The London btar of July 27th says: Mr.
Bright's position at the banquet given by the
Mayor of Birmingham was certainly not an easy
one. Neither, it muftt be allowed, whs that of
his host, on his host's own admis ion. Men of
opinions the most different were gathered round
the table. Extreme liberals, moderate liberals,
timid liberals were there; genuine Orange or
true blue conservatives, conservatives who like
to attach the prefix liberal to their party de
nomination, conservatives who, with Mr. Dis
raeli, are ready for anything; conservatives
who, with General Peel, are ready for no
thing. The host is understood to be a man
of decidedly conservative opinions; the
guest was the most popular tribune
and the foremost orator of liberalism. The
Mayor of Birmingham, indeed, declared that
while he holds his official position he feels
bound to an absolute impartiality; and we only
Wish that the chief magistrates of other cities
would endeavor to act upon bis honorable ex
ample in this respect, even if they could not
pretend to imitate his eloquence and his good
taste. Still, the political opinions of tho Mayor
of Birmingham are not those of Mr. Bright, and
many of those present thought with the host,
m d not with the guest. But tbe company had
assembled mainly, no doubt, to hear Mr. Bright
speak. Thev would have Deen disappointed if
he had talked mere after-dinner platitudes, sup
posing him likely to condescend to anything of
the kiuri. or capable ot uttering sush talk.
Even toiies of the deepest dye may,
therefore, on the eve of another revolution
promoted and guided by him take cosrage and
be of good cheer when he tells them that the
time will come when i!is revolution too shall
be remembered by tbera or their successors as
one of the beneficent operations of our national
development. Tbe whol ; speech was that of an
Englishman addressing Euglisbmen with whom,
no matter what their differences of sectional
opinion, he must have a common interest
supreme over all minor considerations. This
feeling so filled the address and gave so true a
tone to it that partisan sentiment of any kind
sank out of healing and was lost in the common
feeling ot English citizenship and English
patriotism. Such an occasion has been rarely
turned to so good an account, and we only wish
all great political speakers addressing a miscel
laneous public assembly would take confidence
and courage from tbe example of Mr. Bright
and treat their audiences like intelligent and
thinking men worthy something better than tho
most graceful generalities ar the most polished
pLititades.
Tht Great Drouth.
The Mark Lane Express is filled with details
concerning tho drouth. We extract the follow
ing remarks from its editorial oomments:
For the last three weeks, with only one day's
interval, we have bad a taste of tropical heat
and drouth, such as has not been experienced in
England, as some say, for more than half a
century. Tbis, however, Is an exaggeration;
lor we certainly had a similar season in mis,
When not a shower fell between the beginning
of May and the commencement or Harvest,
which took place the first' week in J uly in some
Of the early districts round London. We have
a perfect recollection of flour from Tew wheat
being offered for sale in Mark Lane on tho
second Monday of that mom a. The crop of
-wheat that year wbs a roost abundant one,
and the quality, unexecptionably bright and
heavy. Unlike the presett time, however,
there were stocks of old wheat on hand, and
consequently the price tell very low during the
fimt nuarter: so much so, that every means was
employed to get rid of the surplus. Pigs and
other animals were fattened, and horses fed,
'with the finest wheat," while the more wealthy
growers held it over for better times. What
added to the effect of tho abundance was the
currency bill of Sir Robert Peel, tho operation
of which threw the landed interests of the
country Into the greatest, if only temporary
confusion. It was feared by many that the
depreseion would be permanent; and laud
ottered for sale fetched little more than hall its
previous value, some of the rack-rented estates
being left almost destitute ot tenantry by the
extensive e migration that occurred.
Very different i the position of the United
Kingdom now. With exhausted stocks both at
borne aud abroad, the Importations of wheat
ar barely sufficient to supply the demand from
day to day; and the millers are anxiously wait
ing the advent ot the new crop, so necessary to
mix off with tho old foreign wheat which cauuot
be worked alone. How the new will turn out
is to yield it Is impossible to Ull until the har
vest becomes general; but, so far as is at preasat
BFcenaineo, mere is a prospect or an averaire,
although the light, thin soils bave suffered
severely from the lonrmontinued drouth sod
heat. As to the quality unless the weather
snouici suaaeniy cnange to continued rain, tne
sample cannot fail to be fine and heavy, with
the exceptions abovo stated. Ia the home
counties reaping has been in progress for some
days, and a considerable breadth rf wheat Is
already carted. It will require but little ground
age this season after being cut; and we suspect
that alter this week, on tho earliest fields, it
may be cut and earried at once, if no rain fell.
FRANCE.
Tha EupiiM'i Life mt Plombieres.
The Emperor Is completely installed at the
notel Napoleon, Plouibieres, and occupies
nearly all of this building, but the lttire room
on tbe ground floor remains for the accommo
dation ot the butbers who are accustomed to
play In It, converse and play musical pieces. On
tbe story above are tbe dining-room, hung in
gray and printed chintz urtaius, the salon of
the officers in attendance hung in crimson, the
private apartment of the Emperor, bis bedroom
and that of his private Secretary, all newly
fitted up. The dressing-room and study are at
the end of the gallery. Tin windows of the
latter look out on the park and pavilions. The
bathroom is a little above the ground fhor,
and communicates with the Napoleon baths by
means of an open gallery. The kitchens, larders
and store rooms are under floor.
The fcmreror walks out every morning in the
park, aod has already visited the various parts
ot tbe town aod the church. There are crowds
of bathers, and prices are fabulous Telegraphy
has been established between Fontainebletu
and Plombieres for the convenience of imme
diate communications between the Empress and
the Emperor during his Majesty's absence.
The Emperor paid a visit last Sunday to
Luxeuil, accompanied by General de Beville,
Mr. Conti, secretary; Mr. Pietrl, special secre
tary and his equerry. Tho first stopped at tho
Thermal establishment, then dined at the Hotel
Richard, and after leaving 1200f. for the poor,
reiurnea xa rioraoicres. xne visit whs unex
pected. All our European Excellencies and
Majesties are -doing unexpected things, by the
way,
M. Bouher is actually going to Carlsbad in
stead of joining the Emperor. When this was
said before one of the depaties, who is fond of a
pun, he remarked that M. Rouher preferred
being far from tho Emperor, who was always
telling him to take exereisc and move, wbereas
M. Rouher hated moving and was resolved to
keep his chamber. M. Pinard will go to Plom
bieres. Marshal Neil intends waking an excur
sion in a hot-headed plaee the south of France.
Reception of Q,un Victoria.
A Paris correspondent ot July 28, says:
The Empress came to Paris last Saturday for
the Council ol Ministers at the Tuilerie?. She
travelled by tho U9ual train in her salon car,
wedged in between two ordinary first class cars.
Bhe read nearly all the way and cut several of
the papers bought lor her by her command of
the woman who holds a stall of books at the
depot. A very quiet rewark was made by her
to ene of the Ministers who complained of the
thick showers of stones thrown in Ministerial
glnss houses. "Yes," she said, "you are as badly
off as we are, being such very close neighbors."
Belore leaving the station she gave instructions
for the preparations which are to be made for
tbe Queen cf England's reception on the 6th of
August, particularly Impressing on the gentle
men in office that no official solemnity was to be
attempted: simply measures takeu which oon.
cern her visitor's comfort and nubile speuritv. m
the Queen wishes to preserve tiie strictest Incog
nito. Villa Wallace is, I believe, tbe place ea
lected for her Majesty at Lucerne, an honor due
to Scotia.
Tht llexlcam Loaa Debate.
Advices from Paris on the 28th ult. say:
Tbe falutiug energies of tbe deputies were
awakened on Saturday last by discussions on
tbe indemnification to be paid to Mexican bond
holders. Speeches from M. Rouher and Jules
Favre havinir been announced, the affluence of
visitors was immense in the tribunes. Tbe
question under consideration was what amount
the Minister of Finance was to be authorized to
inscribe on the rieat book ol the public debt.
lbc suat or rour minions ot francs la three
per cent, rente was voted by 170 to 35.
M. Kouncr answered M. J. ravre's virulent
attack with coasummate oratory, and after the
applause bestowed on him on such an occasion,
with the downfall and loss of the undertaking
still mesent on all minds, an idea can be con
veyed of the influence ot that oratory on the
majority. Bondholders win just lose nan on me
transaction. It looks melancholy, but most
soothing, too, when Job's comforters assure
them that if tbey did not accept that half tbey
would have nothing at all to cave Id, with the
exception of glorious souvenirs. We all know
tne latter specie is ot no vaiue at me
Bourse. So, after all, M. Rouher is a very great
ruun. A strange letter, signed by a strange
uscudonTme. was delivered to the Minister of
Stute before the discussion. The writer re
minded M. Rouher of his words and promises
when the Mexican loan was first started; also,
that be had said he would stand guarantee for
the financial constitution of Mexico, that as he
had thus secured the loan he was expected to
see tbe bondholders righted or every centime.
Tbe gentleman who expressed these sentiments
deserves particular regard, certainly, but how
very unsopbisticatea ne must De in tne ways oi
finances I
The same unrortunate mistakes about ngures
which were so iuiurloas to Mr. Pouger
Guertier's cause spoiled a good deal of the effect
of J ales Favre's statements and gave a first-rate
trump card to M. Rouher. In declaring that
the French government received thirty-seven
millions ot the loan of 1805 he was mistaken by
twenty-four millions, as the total amount did
not exceed thirteen. Thep he talked about
barrels ot gold being sent te Miramar, and as
the Minister of State observed, such a mode of
forwarding money is rather too primitive to
have been adopted. Laughter responded to
this admissloB, as a natural consequence, and
when fun does commence in a French Parlia
ment the "esprit naturel" of tho nation leads
them to joke over their own misfortunes. An
incident poor Henri Rochefort cannot laugh at
is the embarrassment he has got in with "Mr.
Comniuniqae." This individual is a priuted
note from tbe Government authorities, whose
duivitis to contradict false assertions in tbe
papers and which by law is to be printed in full
in the paper which advanced the misstatements.
One ot tbe amendments proposed by a member
of tbe opposition at a recent sitting of the
Assembles was the suppression of tbe stamp
duty on public papers. The proposal was re-
tected. An adequate idea of what this duty
irings In can be formed from the tact that one
fortnight's duties on the Figaro (from 1st to
16th of July) and only on nine numbers of tbe
Lanierne amounted to of,J.i)j irancs ou centimes
This must be a pretty round annual revenue.
AUSTRIA.
Vhe Provincial Plats of Wast Austria.
The Herald's correspondent, in Vienna, writes
on July 23: , . .
The seventeenth provincial Diets of West
Austria have been summoned bv an Imperial
ordinance to meet on the 22d of August. I enu
merate tbem in tbe order in which they are
mentioned In the ordinance, namely: Bohemia,
Galicia, and Lodonieria with Cracow, Dalmatia,
Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, btyria,
Carlntbia, Caruiola. Bukowina. Moravia. Aus
trian Silesia, Tyrol. Voialberg, fstria, Gorz. and
Gradisca, town and territory of Trieste. These
provincial Diets, first created by M. von
Behmerling In 1861, received a considerable
augmentation ot power under the constitutional
amendments or December 21, 1867, and now
assembled lor the first time since the inaugu
ration of the new reanne. The two first named.
tbose of Galicia and Bohemia, representing as
they do two pronounced non-German, I may
sav anti-German, nationalities, are the most
important, and their proceedings art looked
forward to with the greatest Interest. The first
thing which these Diets will have to do is to
accept and ratify these constitutional amend
ments oi last year, which afreet tne jurisdic
tion and powers oi tne Diets tnemseives.
With the exception of Switzerland, I think
there is i.o Slate In Europe which has made
such large concessions to the principles of local
sell-government and provincial autonomy as
have Austria and Hungary. In fact, thecontest
between what, in tbe language of American
politician, one would call the State lights and
tbe central Government parties constitutes a
very large poition of tbe public life of both
sections ot this empire. The first two parties
have their main strength (speaking of West
Austria only) la Bohemia, Galioia, the Tyrol,
and the Slovene lands. Tae centralizing party
dominates in this city, In Lower and Upper
Austria and Styria.
The Hungarian Diet still Industriously con
tinues its se.-tions In spite of the allurements of
tne grain Harvest season. It Is mainly occupied
with finance, tbe organization ot the army and
the terms or the settlement with Croatia.
Trcablti at ffiliut.
The turmoils at Trieste have Increased aud led
to collisions, in which two men ot Italian biojd
have lost their lives, and several others have
been severely wounded. Tbe cause of these
seditions is the ill blood which exists between
the Slovene population which Inhabits tbe
mountainous eountry around Trieste and tbe
upper town ami the Italian population of the
lower town and quays. The Lallan party are
disaffected towards Austria, and proclaim their
desire for union with Italy, while the Slovenes
are as loud in their proclamation of attachment
to Austria. The Town Council of Trieste is con
trolled by the Italian party, and has put forth a
highly colored narrative ot the facts, censuring
tbe conduct of tbe military. On the other band,
the Stattbalter, who represents the Austrian
Government, has put form a counter statement
throwing the blame for the commencement of
thete troubles opou a number ot young men of
the merchant clas and ibe Italian party, who
made an attack upon a peaceful gathering of
Slovenes assembled in one ot the collee houses
of Trieste. A deputation from the Town CjuucII
of Trie.-te has arrived in this city for tbe purpose
of conferring with Minister Giskra as to the
measures which should bo adopted lor restoring
tranquility to their town. Trieste is one of tbe
many places in the ambit of this empire which
is cbiouically troubled with faction fights of
race and nationality.
Xh Expedition to Jpa aad Cblaa.
Of the expedition which will shortly sail from
Trieste for Cnioa and Japan I have to report
what may Interest those who devote themselves
to agricultural science and silk culture. At the
requt.-t of the West Ausinau Minister of Com
merce the Vienna Agricultural Society has
handed in four letters of instruction for the
behoof ol those men of natural science who will
be entrusted with the dutyot making Investi
gations and reporting thereupon. These tour
letters embrace, respectively, the following sub
jects, namely : Agriculture, horticulture, vine
culture, silk culture, aud the rearing ot bees. In
tbe first letter the following points are brought
into relief, namely, the application of human
excrement for munure, and new fodder her
bage; in tbe second letter tbe following topics,
namely, the result of cultivation by terraces as
well as of the lateral warming of the soil, arti
ficial watering, sorts of manure, means adopted
against destructive animals, degenerations and
rots, tools and apparatus; in tbe third letter,
Information concerning mulberry trees, also
those oaks of Japan whose leaves serve for the
lood of the silkworm, namely, the JBombyx
'Jama-Mai. It is requested that acorns, and if
f usHlOle, young trct-e co be brought to Butvpo,
'urtser, concerning the transport of the
cocoons, the leeliug off of the silk, and new
spinning plants (spma-pflanzen). Ia the fourth
letter information is sought for concerning the
habits and breeding results of the apis dorsata
(big honey bee), and of the metiipona minula
(the stingless honey and wax producer), and
the tram port of some ot both these communi
ties of honey collectors of Austria and Hungary.
GENERAL GRANT
Ha Visits Ills flam tm Galaaa, tad la
JCatmistaatlcalljr Ilclvd.
The Chicago Tribune's despatches from Galeua
give the following account ot the welcome of
Grant by his lellow-townsmen:
Tbe arrival of General Grant was the occasion
of a demonstration on the part of the citizens
which, in point or numbers aud enmusiasm,
excelled anything of the kind ever before wit
nessed here. He left Chicago at 9 A. M. the
General Superintendent's car being placed at his
disposal iu company with bis wlte and children.
All along the route the sturdy tillers of the soil
asuembled to welcome him, and cheer after chear
rent tbe air as the train approached and left each
station.
At Kockford The old cannon, which upon
niaay a patriotic occasion has been dragged
from its retirement, was seen coming towards
the depot, and as soon as train time approached
tne siue wanes onuouri street, leading to tne
depot, began to teem, with an eager crowd of
pedestrians, all nastemng in one direction.
Vehicles of all descriptions were seen rolling op
clouds of dust in their haste to reach the scene
ot interest, and scon an immense concourse of
people had gathered together, every eye lighted
up with eathusiasm. Geueral Grant had, It
seemed, taken up a position on the engine,
whether from a desire to avoid
observation or not has not yet
transpired. If this was his object,
however, the Geaeral did not show his usual
f eoeralbblp and strategy, for the surging popu
uce soon discerned his retreat and crowded
about blm. He managed to press hi way inta
tbe dining-room at Mover's, alter a short remon
strance from Mayor Baker to the crowd of
people. He requested them to check their en
thusiasm, so iar as ta allow General Grant to
partake of his dinner In peace, which request
was complied with. Alter dinner the General
made his appearance on the platform of the rear
car. and then commenced a hand-shaking which
was kept up without interruption for ten or fif
teen minutes. Cheer after cheer rent the air for
Grant and Colfax; the caunon thundered a
response, the baud played a, national air, and
all was a scene of wild uncontrollable enthu
siasm. The General was called upon for a
speech, but be would aot depart from his code,
lie is a man of deeds, not words.
Galena was reached at 630, and the sight
Which opened to the view of those on board the
train was truly giand; The depot is situated in
a valley, on either side of which are lofty hills,
the tops seeming almost to touch the clouds.
Scattered all over these were groups of people
waving handkerchiefs and hats, and cheeriug
so loudly as to completely drown the shrill
whistle of the locomotive. The house tops were
covered, while the spaco around the depot was
one mass of human beings. Tbe response to tbe
call of one gentleman lor three cheers gave
twice the number, with a hearty will, A com
pany of young men bad secured a 12-pounder
howitzer, and statioued it on tbe top of a high
eminence, and while the cheering was going on
a salute was fired.
The General and family alighted from the cars
and were escorted to their residence In carriages
provided lor the purpose by tbe crowd.
In Ibe evening the Tanner Club, 208 strong,
accompanied by citizens, proceeded to his resi
dence and tendered him a serenade. In response
to repeated calls, General Graut made his ap
pearance. General Grant, iiwesponee to an address of
welcome by Colonel A. J. Smith, said:
Gentlemen and Fellow-citizens of Galena:
After an abseuce of three years trom your midst,
it affords me great pleasure to return here again
to tee you ail, and, as I hope, spend an agree
able and quiet fortnight with you, During that
time I will be happy to see you at yonr homes,
and at mine whenever you can make it conve
nient to call, I shall not on this occasion, nor
upon any other, make you a speech, which I
suppose yoa are well aware of. I an very glad
to ie you.

then replaced It. and he believed that be tnen

The defense than argued that as It was proven
tbat tbe man took np the money, and not she,
thejury could not convict of laroeny, and that
as It bad been testified tbat she was the wife of
tbls man, and received It by his command, ber
marital relations to him excused her from the
guilt of receiving stolen goods. The Common
wealth maintained, however, that the proof of
coverture was not sufflotent to exonerate her,
and therefore she should be convicted of re
ceiving tbe note, knowloz It to bave been stolen.
Thejury rendered a verdlot of not guilty.

Orrica of ihs Kvknino Tbi.kobaph.I
Tuesday, August 11, lttss.
The supply or money continues unabated,
with larpe sums offering on call at from 4 to 6
per cent. Tbe demand is extremely limited,
and mostly confined to the stock operaters. Tne
merchants are in want of but little money, as
trade Is in a roost stagnant and unsatisfactory
condition. Ibe fluctuations in gold have at
tracted much attention, aud many are the sur
mises as to the causes which have created these
continued and violent changes. Various theories
have been adduced, but it would not bo difficult
to saow mat tne real cause Is mainly the result
of our uneven foreign trade movement that
is, tho undue preponderance of Imports over
exports, thus leaving a large balance aeainst
the country, which is neceseatily draining
US Of a Vast amount Of treasure. Ulnro him (la urn
no longer available, in adequate quantities, for
that purpose. Tnere arc, ot course, other con
slderations which have contributed to the ad
vance In cold, snch as a rednopd minnlv nnrl tho
feverish excitement engendered by the open
agitation by those who entertain lax notions of
Integrity and honor, In favor of the Government
breaking faith with Its creditors, all of which, as
was to be exnected. has bppn effprtlvelv nunil
by speculators. It has been asserted, with an
air of plausibility, that the supply of gold has
been reduced two-fifths within a year, but unfor
tunately, the statistical department of tho Gov
crnmeut is so deficient, tbat it is impossible to
ascertain how much truth thcro is in the asser
tion. Railroad shares again took another downward
turn, and Reading declined to 45, a decline of
Pennsylvania Railroad was stead v at 62J;

The New Ycrk lleraldot this morning; savs:
"The gold market, wolch was weak and feverish
before the formal commencement of business this
mornlag, opened at 144 1 and gradually advanced to
li7?i, but from tbls po'nl there was a rapid decline to
14S. and at S o'clock tbe price stood at 14S. Subse
quently the previous eU'orts to press tbe premium
were continued with Increased force and the result
was a further decline to 14V(ivHV-f, anl the clos
ing prloe on tbe street ws 14. 'l ee volume of trans
action was large, aud tbe 'short' Interest was very
largely Increased a feature of tbe market wblort
will materially strengthen the upward reaction
tollowiug tbe present depression. Moreover, Jut as
tbe advance to 160 was too rapid, tbe decline sine
has been equally so, and ail speculation which con
tributes to snch violent fluctuations Is to be de
precated. That gold will rise much higher altlmately
hardly admit ef a doubt, and on commercial and
financial grounds, apart from political agitation, its
Balneal tendency will be upward tor some time to
come. But this furnishes no argument for running
lie price up five per cent. In lour days. Tbe market

The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday says:
