The specialty of this unique establishment is the manufacture of chocolate for table use. Some ten or twelve different kinds are made. for all of which there is a constant and increasing demand from hotels, private families, invalids and, confectioners; and it is not too much to assert that in a few years the demand for this pure article will have in creased to such an. extent (and in a greater ratio as its qualities become known) that it will become One of the most important branches of our mann-. factures.

The result of Mr. Btanbery's opinion is now begnning_ to show itself by a defiant opposition to all acts of the military commiinders, by im peding and rendering helpless the civil officers acting under his appointnumt.

Le Monittur Unicersel, the official jburnal of the French Empire, says : "Among the expositions of the American sec tion which attract the greatest interest, it is ne cessary to specially mention the collection of weighing instruments exhibited by the Ouse of Fairbanks Co., of St. Johnsbury, Vt., which has, for a long time, sustained a great reputation in this branch Of manufactures. This collection embraces the most complete a sortment of bal ances, from a single gramme to thirty thousand kilogrammes capacity. The same house manu facture scales 'capable of weighing five hundred thousand kilogrammes. These weighing instru ments' universally used in America, are adapted to all the different systems of weights and measures in use.in every country. This exposi tion deserves to be recommended to all our me chanics and farmers, and to everybody interested in perfect weighing instruments." 'A deSpatch by Ocean Telegraph announces the fact that these celebrated Scales take the First Premiums (two medals) at the Paris Expolition, and are mentioned in. the award as the Standard Scales.

In either case it is well worth reprinting: Sr. PETRIZSI:UIZG, ;di (21st) May, 1867.---.1f0n .4e,r,- le Baron: The happy result of the Con lerenee at London for the regulation of the fn ture destiny of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg-, encourages a hope that we cuter on an era of peace and conciliation. The imperial cabinet is pleased to recognize the reality of the services which the government of her Britannic Majesty has rendered in . this exigency to the repose my.l civilization of the world by initiating -that conference. In admitting the happy in fluences of sincere efforts calculated to snare Europe a war, of which it would be impossible to forsee either the extent or the result, we think . that in following the same path In other ques tions interesting the whole human race, it would not only be impossible to avoid either the dan gers which international differences are fraught with, but also to exhaust the sources of universal peril, which present certain conflicts which, at the first blush not only distract the interior peace of European States, but which, examined is a closer degree, contain elements of danger to all. Two questions must, at the outset, strike the dis interested observer of present events---the ques tion of Candle upon which you cannot-be ignorant of the sentiments of our august master and of the entire of Russia; and the queStion of Ireland, which appears to us tb be equally worthy of in terest. It may be said, perhaps., that the affairs of Ireland, inasmuch as they only concern the existing relations between 4.he British govern ment and its Irish subjects, ought not to be viewed as giving rise to a European question. Our answer to that is very simple. Years have passed since the creation of a Polish question. The governments of France. and England since that time have excited diplomatic coalitions against us, with the object not only of interven ing in that question under the specious pretence of treaties, but actually in the name of suffering humanity, of an oppressed nationality, and of a perse cuted religious belief. Whilst repelling the slightest foreign interference with the sovereign rights of our august master, the imperial govern ment, asyou know, has accepted with a mode ration, to which public opinion hue done full justice, an Investigation: Foreign cabinets havo been convinced of the paternal lutentions . ot our august master towards all his subjects, without distinction of race or religious belief. The Polish queation has disappeared, and during a long time Poland has presented to Europe thaveetacio of the most perfeetsalm, and. of the mostcomplete haimony hetivtigh the government and the governed.

Quite recently Father Debehmidt informed the Indians West of the Mis souri that he was again coming to visit them for the purpose of inducing them to renounce hostilities, and also for the purpose of bringing the word of t lin Lord 'Jesus Christ. To this message the Indians replied that, .under all circumstances, they had had enough of him and his gospel of peace, and that if he and the word of the Lord Jesus Christ knew when they were well off they would remain on the east side of the Missouri river. The spirit manifested by the Indians towards the Govern ment is one of ridicule and contempt: and the exhibition of such feeling is due to the poliey pursued in regard to them, and to the inactivity, or as they term it, ,the cowardice displayed in punishing, or rather in not punishing, them for depredations committed. The Indians have a wonderful faculty of looking at things not as they really are. but as they would have them, and thus far it has been impossible to convince - them of the power of the government they so heartily despise, and of the fact that the white population is much more than equal to their own. When their wise men, sent east for the purpose of reporting upon the condition of affairs and the facilities the pale faces have for prosecuting a vigorous war, return and tell of the wonders they have seen,and that the Great Father atWashington has an army more numerous than the leaves on their forest trees and big guns - into which the largest brave can crawl, the tribes they represent indignantly inform them that they have been duped by the tricks the whites so well understand the practice of, and that they are entirely un worthy of credit. The consequence is that their poor truth-telling envoys arc 'disgraced, and their (41MM - heads cut oltm the must - hpproved style l of civilized polities. The opinion that their representativea have . been deceived and that I:bele Sam does not amount to much after all, is strengthened and fortified by the fact that whenever their war parties prowl around the soscalled frontier forts, stampede and run off stoek,as they did at Randall, and scalp any luckless soldier or settler they meet, they see none of these big guns, and noth ilJU, of this immense army, save a few frightened companies behind miserable stockades, who ac knowledge their helplessness by calling upon., the friendly Yanktons to come to their assistace. From this it is argued that if the United States. government is as powerful as it is represented to be it would at once throw into the field a suffi cient force to crush them. But as it does not, and as it allows depredations to be committed with the utmost in-. !amity, the conclusion reached is that the Great ather at Washimi . ton. with his countless hosts, is pi etty much of a humbug, and that •it would lie no difficult task for a party of determined braves to capture him in his very stronghold. In the present condition of affairs, then, there is but one course for the government to pursue, and that is to cease its dress parade style of fighting Indians, stop its sort of holiday excursions among them, and throw into their country a sufficient t' tree either to conquer or-convince them of the fact that it will be useless to longer continue off,:nsive demonstrations. Especially with the Indians is itu hard and dangerous policy to in troduce into war the principles of petee: and now that war seems inevitable, the subtler the thun derbolt is forged anthurled the better will N.

Condition of treland. ernments have, according to us, created the PO4. 1101 question which no longer exists, we can 0- dare with truth that we have In no degree Orn-: tribute(' to the creation of the Irish question, which, unfortunately, has existed, for etriturica, and which', in our ()Wm days, and still more re- cently, has assumed propoationS asd9lorable they are alarming. I slifilqnot seek liere,A ins'- tute a parallel between the pretended suflhrkfgs of Poland and the actual sufferings of Ireland. The English press, with a candor which does it honor, produces, day after day, facts whieb - furnish a proof of,these sufferings. t During more than two years those constitutional guaran tees, the possession of which the English' people feel pleasure in boaating, have ceased to exist for , the people of Ireland. In surrections succeed one another, strangled at great cost by crushing military forces, and not withstanding the unscrupulous application of most energetic measures of repression, the coun try is a prey to terrorism. The spirit of insurrec tion grows daily in the heart of thenatlon, and the sentences of death which are pronounced day after day by the English courts aro received with defiance and insult by a heroicople for whom death has no terrors. These facts; I repeat, are derived from actual English narratives. There existe;lhereforei-in'this-respect-what-eannot-lxs denied—a question big with dangers to ,the British empire, ' and menacing the existence of the entire work, which is interested ia any ca tastrophe that would strike at the bead of the principal ,focus of modern industry. I have not the intention in this con fidential communication to dilate regarding the sorrows, 50 well founded, of the people of Ireland. Lord Russell has laid down the principle that ,! every government must rest on the confidence with which it is able to inspire the governed, and that the ascendancy of the, law over what is arbi trary ought to. be the foundation of order and stability. Are these principles, to which we sub scribe, the basis of English authority in Ireland, and do we not rather see the exercise of arbi trary forces, which is the more painful .to . _the Mind because - it is in Migrant - contradiction to - the liberties so vaunted by British' rule? Preserve to myself the power of discussing at a later period the points which ap pear to form the difficulty of the Irish question. the position, so cruelly ironical, assigned to a church existing in the, bosom of a Catholic pop ulation; the oppression of a Celtic race for the advantage of a Saxon oligarchy; the relations so unjust between.landed proprietors and their ten ants: in fine, the emigation—that voluntary re nunciation by an entire People of the pleasures of "country' --a fact unparalleled in history, and which epitomizing, as it does, all these evils— each of these points deserve the most serious investigation. There are. according to us, ample materials for an inquiry On the part of the Euro pean powers, like to that which took place regarding the atiairs of Lebanon, and which the French government proposes to us with regard to the events of Caudia. I shall return immediately to this subject. I wished from the outset to let your excellency know the sentiments with which the Imperial Cabinet is animated toward Ireland, and I shall confine myself to adding that I have addressed a like communication to the Ambassador of the Em peror at Paris, as well as to his envoy at Wash mgton, with the object of obtaining an inter change of ideas with the Government of France, and of the' United Statea, on the subject of the situation of that unhappy country.

A. letter to the Pall Jiall Gilzette. dated flonic, June 22, says; The numbea• of priests drawn to Home by the solemnities from every country. but particularly from France, is beyond belief. They are already estimated thirty thousand,. and, though this may be au exaggeration, their num bers certainly exceed twenty thousand: and - still they conic. The procession of Corpus Christi took place the day before yesterday, and was very splendid. It had a special feature In the number of prelates in its ranks, amounting, with the cardinals, to no lees than tree hundred and fortv-eight. The bishops of the Lath.; ritual wore white mitres and white.capes without embroidery; and the cardi nals were only distinguished from them by the satin work on their mitres. The Oriental bishops, with the archbishops, primates and patriarchs, were, on the contrary : attired in all the magnifi cence of the East, their mitres embroidered with gold,and richly jewelegand their diadems. which took the shape (Can imperial crown, blazing with gems. The Pope appeared. •hi spite of the doctors, looking very pale and jaded.. The French priests assembled in thousands to see the procession, and, confident iu their numbers; gave free expres sion to their zeal, knocking off the huts of those spectators who diti. not uncover at the proper moment. It may haVe been in consequence of this violence that a French priest was poinarded in the evening in the Piazza della Madalena. His wounds arc serious, and his recovery uncertain. The foreign bishops have brought the Pope some , munincent presents. Their donations in money alone amount' to 1,500,000 crowns, or 7,500,000 francs, and their other gifts are of great value. Cardinal Mithieu, Archbishop of Besan. cOn, has presented him with an ostensoir several feet high, and having its ntassive gold disc enriched with diamonds and rubies of .rare brilliancy.., Thebishops of Canada have brought a Ivork of att in the shape of a silver ship, with every detail beautifully executed. The ballast of this costly toy is composed of gold nuggets, and each of the cabins contains a heap of gold money from a different country. The masts and cordage are gaily dressed' with bank notes of every color and from every country in the world. A very old bishop sought an audience of the Holy Father, leaning on a large thick staff. Monsignor Pacea, master of the ceremonies, told him he must first lay his staff aside, as the eti quette of the court did not permit of his carrying it into the Pope's presence. The bishop claimed exemption from the rule, and the Pope, hearing what was going on, ordered him to be admitted. Accordingly he appeared before the Holy Father, and rendering his homage, stated that his diocese was so poor he had nothing to bring him but his stick. This the Pope took in his hand and found very heavy, on which he looked at it more closely and pereeiyed that it, was 'Crated. of Solid gold. The Archbishop, of Mexico has sent the Holy Father 80;000 crowns, and an English bishop has presented him with, the largo sum of 4100,000 sterling. The American bishops are said to be bringing an enormous tribute,' ' F. L. FEINEUSTON. randier.
