Lonnow, Oct. 2, 1867. You will remember that, at the close of the American Civil war, when slavery bad been abolished by procla- mation and ty a constitutional amendment, everybody expected that the Anti-Slavery Society would dissolve, since there was no more slavery to war against, This Vory sensible view of the matter was endorsed by Mr. Lioyd Garrison, the president of the society; but Wen- doll Phillips discovefea that the Anti-Slavery Society was too good a thing to be allowed to die, evon if slavery were dead, and so the association of agitators was continued. Upon the same principle the reform clubs here do not ‘tend to become obsolete because Disraeli has ‘given them more reform than they ever expected. Mr, Potter and Mr, Beales, ex-reform leaders and once sworn friends, have taken a leaf from the book of Mr. Wendell Ehillips. They bave done more—they bave quarrelled and refused to attend each other’s demonstrations, and the consequence is that we have had two meetings of re- formers this week, but in this case competition does not seem to improve business. Mr. Potter had his demonstration at the Crystal Palace on Monday undor the auspices of the London Working- men’s Association, and it-took the form of a festival and banquet to celebrate the passage of the reform bill, The whole affair was a failure. The workingmen of London did not turn out to see the balloon ascension, the cham- pion diving and other performances during the day, and would not pay three shillings for a cold collation at night. Is being Monday—always a holiday in many trades— thousands of people did visit the Palace, but mot more than six thousand of them were attracted by Potter's fele, Atthe ‘banquet’? six hun- drod persons wore present, including many ladies, At the one guinea table only cold meats were served, and the dinner begao with @ salad. Although it was Michaslmas Day, toere was no goose on the table. You can imagine, then, what the three shilling ordinary must have boon, The speeches were as cold as the din- ner. The Hon. Thomas Cave, the Hon. Mr. Ayston, and Sir John Bowring were the only notabilities present and they said nothing worth recording. Mr. Cave’s expected speech on America was not delivered, as he was only set down to propose this toast—* The National Reform Union, and the health of George Wilson, Eaq.,”’ aduty which he discharged very simply and in a man- nor which showed that he was as happily ignorant as the majority of mankind in regard to who ‘George Wilson, Esq.,”’ is, and what he bas done to be toasted. The “banquet,’’ therefore, was simply conspicu because so many persons really connected wi form movement hat declined to be present sell'a curt declination was published in all ‘and goasip bave been anticipated in former The Abyssinian Expedition—The Religious World—The Theatrical Wor! Lowpox, Sept. 29, 1867. ‘The Abyssinian war, in which Engiand is about to en- gace, is just like the war which the United States are ‘DOW carrying on with the Indians—a nasty, troublesome, ious, inglorious, necessary contest, in which not much is to be gained and the best man is likely to come off worst. There is more fuss, confusion and bother about it than would be caused by a war with France. As you have noticed, the papers are full of letters from correspondents, offering numerous impracticable and contradictory suggestions, and the editorials of the lead- ing journals are full of a plaintive and self-depreciatory spirit very interesting and amusing to the dispassionate observer. Jobn Bull would pay almost any price to escape from this war. It is not popular, and the general impression is that it will prove a failure. ‘King’ Theodore is of no importance outside of his own country; but he has an unpleasant habit of coming down upon an enemy unexpectedly, and regular tactics are of no avail against him. He stampedes horses and cattle, like the Indians; he cuts off detachments; poisons wells and Jas- 8003 sentries; in a word, he bebaves like an unman- nerly savage, be is, and will not listen to anything like reason, Still, Englishmen are kept by him in prison, and must be released at any cost, or the su- Premacy of England in India will be lost; and go the preparations for the war go on, and every Britisher grumbles, It has been very sensibly decided that India shall be the base of operations; but the arms and accoutrements are to be sent from Woolwich, and twenty fast steamers have been chartered as trans- ports, Evidently matters have been delaved as long as possible, in the hope that Theodore would relent; but it appears that this delay has been very dangerous, and that if it be prolonged operations must be postponed for another year. You have only to recall the popular and official feeling abont your Indian war. and you can realize the English feeling about the Abyssinian expedi- tion, Perhape it was the prevalent aversion to this combat which led ihe journals here to give such prominence to the recent Peace Congress at Geneva.

It was ‘8 meeting convened to express sympathy with Garibaidi and to condemn bis arrest. The younger son of Garibaldi was present; but the meeting was not very well attended. Mr. Beales occupied the chair, and, like Mr. Potter, was compelied to open the proceedings by reading @ number of tetters from distinguished people who, for one reason or anotber, declined to speak, A performance by the regniar stock company of the Re- form League ensued, Mr. Beales, Colonel Dickson, Mr. Bradlaugh, Mr. Merriman aod others talking with their accustomed vigor and volupility, and an address was unanimously adopted. Colonel Chambers, formerly keown as ‘(aribaldi’s Enyli*hman,” and Mrs. Cham- bers, Garitald’s nurse after Aspromonta, occupied seats apon the platform. The speech of young Riccitti Garibaidi was merely an expression of thanks for the sympathy of the meeting, aod was marred by a few strong afsslone to the private habits of Victor Emanuét —allusions which embarrassed both the speaker and the avdieoce, aod nearly brought the speech io a dead use—and by young Garidaidi's ignorance of English. The meeting was in every way a failure The fact is that all sensible men he: ag clse~ where, appiand tre Taian government, and think that it hes served Garibaldi just as ho deserved. ‘The alarming editorials in some of the English papers upon a couple of recent sbooling and ult cases Show=—Improvement in Irish Stock—Kich © but no Keapers.

During the past weck the members of the Society have met for consultation in Dublin and presented to the public we result of their labors, The importance ef the occasion caused the capital city to be choson for the display, and no exertions were spared to mark th eral appreciation. St, Stephen's Green— one of the handsomest pleasure grounds, comprising an area of twonty-five acr’s—was placed at the disposal of the Society, and the Corporation of Dublin, as substan- tial token of interest, contributed the sum of three hun- red pounds to the prize and ex pense fund. ‘The show of stock was opened on Wednesday, the 28th of August, and the result is very satisfactory.

The Opening of the Reichstag—Courtesy to Mr. Bancroft from the Crown Princess Victoria— Petition to the King from the Teachers of Prussia—An American Lady Gallery of the Reichstag. der. Berxry, Sept. 26, 1867. As you bave been already informed by cable tele- gram, King William opened the Reichstag, in person, on Tuesday, the 10th inst., by reading a speech from the throne, the text of which was forwarded to you by mail. ‘The ceremony of opening the session took place in the white hall of the royal palace, with the usual forms, the King standing in full uniform, bis head ,cov- ered with a helmet, before the throne. All the diplo- matic corps, who were in town, were present. The Norddeutsche Allgemzine noticed among them the “rep- Tesentatives of the United States and of Turkey.” Mr. Bancroft was indcod quite prominent, being seated as the newest member in the most conspicuous place, where his plain black coat contrasted strongly with the bedizened jackets of his colleazues. It is not unworthy of mention that this slichting of the conventional gilt buttons and lace, crosses and short swords by the American republic, receives a good deal of favorable comment even in circles where it was not to be expected, Mr, Bancrofs was the subject of an unusual distinction on Wednesday. As the King retired from the hall, fol- lowed by the loval cheers of the assembied representa- tives, a royal chamberlain brougbt to Mr. Bancroft # re- quest from the Crown Princess that he would accept a personal audience with herself. According to court eti- quette, a new mivister should seek an audience with the heir apparent to the throne, and should ask to be present- ed to the princess, his wife, Mr. Bancroft haa intended to delay doing this until the return of Prince Frederick Withelm to Berlin, but the Princess Victoria, evidently desirous of having @ personal interview with Mr. Bancroft, thus broke through all forms and freed the meeting from ceremony. In the remarks of the Crown Princess, which ‘were most flattering and complimentary to Mr. Bancroft, she also mentioned the name of Mr. Motley, saving that she bad read his works with the greatest pleasure, Of the throne speech little, very little, is said. Some- thing more was expected, and all are surprised at the complete ignoring by bis Majesty of foreign nations, Bismarck's circular letter to Prussia’s representatives abroad may bave told them, to say all that iv necessary to be said; but custom almost demands a recognition of the existence of other governments in royal speeches, So much has lately been said of monetary systems and standards that it seemed not improbable that the treaties of the neighboring Powers on this subject, and the relations of the Bund thereto would be noticed. A bet- ter time for making a uniform monetary standard for Germany will not aoon come again, and perhaps sHence on the subject ts to be taken ag an indication that the government inten4s to take no steps in this direction The first regular sitting of the Reichstag was held on the ame day (fuesday), in the chamber of the Prussian Upper House, and was presided over by its senior member, Herr von Franck adwigsdorf, a hale old gentleman, born Apri! 29,1785, One hundred and twenty-five members were pres nt. Another sitting was held to-day, at which the only subject was testing elections. Quite ® novelty has appeared in the journalists’ tribune in the person of Miss Alice Asbury, a female re- porter from the United States, and woo, I am told, is to correspond with some American journals on German politics and affairs generally. ‘The contest for tne Speakership wilh probably be between Pr.

Here follows a despatch to Mr. Seward from Mr. Hay, Secretary of Legation, in which, speaking of the arrival of the Empress Carlota, hs characterizes her as ‘the lady in question,” which induces M. de Keratry to say that the terms of this diplomatic missive are considerably lacking in point of courtesy. Another despatch from Mr. Hay, dated the 17th of August, recounts an inter- view with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which the latter stated that the visit of the Empress Carlota had not led and would not lead to ‘any modification of the Freneb policy.’’ After these M. de Keratry enters upon the history of tho famous convontion by which Maxiuilian abandoned the receipts of the customs to France, a convention which, while it assured bankraptey to him and bis government, aiso did much to estrange bim still farther from Marsha!

He wished the French troops to specially guatd the frontier aud ports uear the United States, But Bas zaine obeyed his instractions, and more sharp correspon - dence ensued between him and Maximilian, After the taking of Tampico by the republicans, aud the evacua- tion of Monterey by the imperialists, Maximilian invited Bazaine to give him active aid and to enter upon a vigorous campaign.
