The whole of the royal family, ihe Duke Ne? mours and the Prince Imperial were present at a review of COOO troops by the Queen, In Bushy Park, yesterday. The German attempt to excite dissatisfac? tion with thc British Government amongst the Inhabitants of Heligoland has proved a failure. A banquet was given on Thursday by the A ngia-American Association. The following named Americans were present: "Wm. E. Dodge, Bishop Mcllvain, Henry Wilson, Hugh Mcculloch, General Smith, Messrs. Palfrey, Hoar and others. Speeches of a friendly char? acter, usual on such occasions, were made. The Russian Grand Duke, Wladimir, paid a visit to Napoleon. Mr, Howard, secretary of the British Legation at Washington, has been appointed agent in the United States, to re? ceive claims ol British subjects coming within articles from the twelfth to the seventeenth of the treaty.

But should any extraordinary state of affairs arise, calling lor direct interference by the Presi? dent, the fact wiil be bronght before him in authentic form for his action. The government buys a million bonds each j Wednesday, and sells a mlUloa gold each , Thursday during July. COTTON MOVEMENT FOR THE WEEK. NEW YORK. July 2.

The bronze bust of Washington Irving will be unveiled in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, with appropriate ceremonies. Dean Forbes, of the Episcopal General Theological Seminary, bas withdrawn his re? signation. AN IMPORTANT PROTEST. The New England Boot and Shoe In ure st on the Evils of 'Protection." I An important document, Bigneu by three hundred and fifty boot and shoe manufactur? ers ol Lynn, Beverly, Worcester, Haverhlll, Boston and Marblehead, Mass., and Ports? mouth and Dover, N. H., Is published in the New York Evening Post, of Thursday. It shows that "protection" having been run in the ground, they are finding out its evils even in the hot-bed of its growth, New England. The protest is addressed to their fellow-manu? facturers and to the public, and as this indus : try is one of the leading manufacturing in? terests of Baltimore, and the cost of shoes ls an item that touches everybody's pocket, the facts staled by the New England manuiactur ! ers are of general interest. Their importance is indicated by the statement that this interest is la ger In the value of Its product and the number of hands employed than any other single Industry In the country. The protest 3ays: The tariff <ax upon our leather amounts to thirty-five per cent. From the earliest period of our history Americans have enjoyed such advan'.-vges in the manufacture ol' leather as have enabled them to undersell all competing nations. This tax, therefore, ls totally unne? cessary as a protective measure. The duties on cotton and silk rubber wabbing are thirty five per cent., respectively. A9few of these goods are manufactured in this country, these protective duties are benefits to the few and burdens to the many. The duties on lastings and serges are eighty-five per cent. Although these high protective duties have been levied for four years, they have succeeded '. in stimu? lating only two establishments to engage In making these articles, and that to a limited extent. Moreover, the quality of their pro? ducts ls too inferior to supersede the use of the imported goods. The combined taxes upon all the articles forming the materials of our industry, yield the government a revenue of only S3.500.000, while they impose upon the manulacturers of boots and shoes a tax ol $18, 000,000-which must eventually be paid by the wearers of these necessary articles. The direct consequence ol these protective taxes is Buch an Increase in the cost of our pro? ducto as prevents our'competing with the man? ufacturers of boots and shoes In other coun? tries. Of late years there has been an Increase of twenty-five per cent. In the productive pow? er ot a given amount ol capital and labor en? gaged in our manufacture through improved machinery and new processes. This gain, which should have resulted in cheaper boots and shoes, has been completely nullified by protective taxes. The legislation of our own country has driven our products from the mar? kets of Canada, Mexico, the West Indies and South America, which we had enjoyed for more than a century. It has transferred the manufacture ol our products to'a great degree to Canada, where it enjoys greater advantages, and ls subject to fewer impediments in the Erosecutlon ol business. Thus, our country as to thi9 extent lost the benefits oi this In? dustry and given her wealth to others, through I a system of tariff taxation, prolessedly framed to foster and encourage American industry, but which expels it lrom America and Increas? es the wealth of other nations. We believe that an entire removal of all protective dulles would greatly advance our Industry, as we should then have the markets of the world In which to sell our produc?s, thus largely Increasing the labor employed and the profits of manufacturing. We, moreover, believe that the enhanced wealth and comfort of our owl people, consequent upon a change ol system, would be evidenced in an Increased consumption of our goods. A reduction in the dulles levied upon the articles used In our manufacture is demanded by the interests of all capitalists and laborers engaged lu the boot and shoe Industry. The very same results have lollowcd from a like cause to many other industries in this country. The shipbuilding interest is destroy? ed in great part by the same process. Time was when many other ot our manufactures went abroad that do not now, belo? excluded from competition by the high cost of produc? tion. FROM THE WEST INDIES. HAVANA, July 1. Among the surrendered Canas officers are Nicolas, Elol and Oswald Adam, Meloher and Joseph E. Boinatl, Felandro and Blas Rod? rigues, Augustin and Parfieris Siloa, Alfsedo Beiancourt and Augustine Cocio. The two brothers Adam were captured by General Agramonte. It is reported that Generals Ma? rnai, Agramonte, Parro and Jasclnto Rod? rigues have made overtures for surrender. Valmaceda ieaves for Santiago de Cuba to-day. The Spanish party are making strenuous ef? forts to carry the Porto Rico -.'lections. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Chesterfield. This section of our county, says the Cheraw .Democrat, was visited on wednesday evening by a copious shower (accompanied by quite a thunder-storm) reviving the crops and gar? dens, which had been needing rain for some days. We learn that the prospect, thu.; far,for a good corn crop is very promising, tue cot? ton also looks well and ls growing finely. Portions of Marlboro' county were visited by fine rains several times within the last week. Union. The Union Times has the following account of a severe hail storm: -'We regret to learn that a destructive storm cl hail, wind and rain visited the neighborhood of Cross Keys on Friday evening last, which did great dam? age to the crops on the plantations of Solo? mon and Murphy Bobo. The hail literally stripped the leaves from the cotton plant and the blades on the corn stalks into ribbons. Hail stones fell as largo as the first joint ol the thumb. Much damage was done to other crops in Hie neighborhood by the rain and wind. Ic ls reported as being the most de? structive storm that ever visited that neigh? borhood, but fortunately its ravages did not extend any great distance.*' Lancaster. The Ledger has the following crop item: 1'Many of our planters say they have never had a better prospect lor ? good crop of both corn and cotton than the present. This is gratifying intelligence, and with cotton at a remunerative :..-'oe, will do much to relieve the oppressed Linters of the country In their operations for anotl er year, We made a brief visit one day last w?'ek to the plantation of Mr. J. B. Erwin, a few miles from town. If our other planters can lavorably compare with what we saw there, then we may sately say that the present crop will surpass "any raised in Lancaster County since 1800. Mr. E. has about forty acres in a body, that, with season? able showers, will produce abai-- per acre. His corn crop ls also fine, and onaUengea comparison. From nearly every secilon in the county accounts reach us of good seasons and bright prospers. May our hopes be fully realized.'1 Clarendon. The Clarendou Press speaks thus of the cot? ton and corn prospects in Clarendon : "From all quarters we hear encouraging repyrib of the crops.' We gather i?orn these that corn won't be much 'for high' another vear, while I cotton will, in all probability, c mnmand re? munerative prices, from the sundi auantity of fertilizers need and the dimtnuued area plant? ed In the same. Taking into .-;on -Ideratlon the early vicissitudes or col 1 ir. I wet weather which overtook the plant ai an --arly stage ol' its growth, and that verry IltrJs of it is highly fertilized, we think thatcotto:: ls looking well, and notwithstanding theso i.m?vantages promises well. The improved condition of the plant ls attributed to the hot weather which has been and is now prevailing. The crop of cotton may fall considerably below the num? ber ot bales produced last year, but we leel confident that there will be no inconsiderable amount of cotton produced in this country the present year. This, at remunerative prices, wiil, doubtless relieve the financial embarrass? ment of our people greatly, and we lear stim? ulate an over production ol cotton next Beason, and its intendant and consequent evil, a fall in price. If our people are wise, they will not listen to the Biren songof lortunes to be made at cotton planting, but will adhere to the saler policy of rendering themselves first Indepen? dent, by makin:: their own meat and bread, and then, cotton in such quantities as they can. SOUTH CAROLINA. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. Pickens. Mr. "Robert Kirksey, of PlckenB County, died on last Tuesday week, aged 71 years. Laurens. The Laurensville Herald tells us the follow? ing blt of news: "From a private source, which we deem reliable, we learn that the sale of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad to the Penn? sylvania Central Railroad Company has been consummated. This sale, of course, embraces the Laurens Railroad, and, i( our information be correct, we may expect soon to hear again the shrill whistle ol the iron horse among our bills and along our vales." Barnwell. The Sentinel says : "Tuesday last an inquest was held on the dead body of Hannah Cave, colored. Finding of the jury, died of con? sumption; deaih hastened fey exposure. .'Wednesday, Washington Sapp, a colored young man, about eighteen years old, while bathing in the Lower Three Rune, was borne bv the current into the deep water, and being unable to swim he drowned. Finding ol the Jury, accidental drowning.'' a Barnwell. The Journal says: liWe learn that a color? ed man, name unknown to us, was drowned In the creek at Coker's Bridire. near Savannah River, on Saturday evening." It appears that ' a crowd went in bathing, and this colored man was the first to jump of!, the bank; he dived under the water and got lastened be? tween two logs. The crowd were alrald to go under and help him, but ran tip to Mr. Wm. Harper's (a distance of one mlle) who came down and went under the water, and found out that he could do nothing without a rope; be procured the article and tied it around the man, and with the assistance of two colored men pulled bim out." Fairfield. In the Winnsooro' News we find the follow? ing items: ..Our readers will join with U3 in sympathy for the bereavement ot our fellow-citizen, Mr. John Simonton. He has just received the sad intelligence of the drowning fof two of his grandchildren, a lovely young lady and prom? ising boy, it Mlcanopy, Fla., while out on a pleasure trip on Orange Lake. But a few years ago he was called upon to mourn the loss of two gallant boys in the late war, Boyce and Charlie, besides the disabling of another, and to-day he received the sad news of ihe drowning ol two interesting grand-children. We tender himself and family our heartfelt sympathy." Georgetown. St. John's Day was celebrated by the Masons ol Georgetown. The Times records the following sad acci? dent : "On Tuesday afternoon, about half-past C o'clock, a fine little boy, Archibald Thomas, aged six years, the son of Richard C. Wallace of this town, fell off the market dock and was drowned. It seems that after he lell in the water he never rose. In a lew seconds after the accident several ol' our youne men dove down to the bottom ot the dock hoping to re? cover the body in time to resuscitate lt.- but they failed to find it. The body was also drag? ged for but without success, and up to the time of writing has not been found." Columbia. Mr. J. H. Sawyer has been elected assistant cashier of the Citizens' Savings Bank-In charge of the branches. Mr. Sawyer, we learn from the Phoenix, is from Richmond, Va., but has been connected fur some months with the bank, and has become thoroughly Identified with the community. He ?ls well lilted for his responsible position, both by character and training. Alexander Sartor, charged with the homi? cide of Sam Bates, on the plantation ol F. H. Bates, in Union County, on the 15th ult,, was brought before Judge Melton on Friday after? noon upon a writ "of habeas corpus. Upon hearing the affidavits, both pro and con, the prisoner was granted ball In the sum of $250 lor his appearance at the next term of the* Court ol Session's for Union County. Mr. Braw ley represented the State and Colonel I. G. Mc Klsslck the prisoner. Abbeville. The great "Guinn'' case-for robbing the county treasury-was tried in Abbeville last week, and resulted in the acquittal of the three Gufflns, and of Albert Hamblin, who bad been accused along with them. The Abbeville Press and Banner gives the following among the "incidents of ihe term : " "A saucy wit? ness is sometimes tempted to indulge in a smart witticism at the expense of counsel, which is always received with a roar. Among these, -Manuel,' the notorious, bore off the Sal m : -You have been convicted at this term, [anuel ?' asked counsel. 'Yes, slr, in a couple of caseB,' was the cool reply. 'Where do you reside In town, Manuel ?' ?I board with Mr. Cason, the sheriff,' was the delicate way in which Manuel alluded to his being a Jail bird. 'One of us seems to amuse the crowd very much, Manuel.' 'It is you,' replied the wit? ness, 'you are so old and joky.'" Greenville. A correspondent, E. T. B., writing from Greenville, under date June 28, says: "The stream ol travel has set in, and prom? ises to be targe tbis summer. The Mansion House and numerous private boarding-houses are prepared to accommodate, and the livery stables will furnish fine conveyances to travel or ride out, and all very cheap. This ls a cheap Elace to spend the summer. Board In private oardlng-houses from $15 to $20 per montb. "The Air Line Railroad is belnpf worked three miles from here, and will be finished in twelve months. The Pennsylvania Central has taken hold of it, and is pressing lt on to completion. The bonds of this city and county, two hun? dred and fifty i II?.-??nef dollars, have been all signed, sealed and delivered to the Air Line Railroad at seventy-flve cents in the dollar. "One of the finest bridges in the State is now about being finished across Reedy River, in our city, and will make riding and going to and fro In the city very easy, und soon, we trust, will be the track for a city railroad. Things are progressing here. Politics are dead. Crops are-fine, and seasons very favorable." Chesterfield. On Friday night last, says the Democrat, a negro man was severely stubbed In the back In this place, while in a row; he charged one ol the soldiers with committing the deed, but we learn that the man accused has proven that he was in camp at the lime, and been re? leased. Some mischievous boys have perpetrated a most dastardly outrage by tarring the stones at the end of Hotel rauge. What will the poor negro vagrants do now for a resting place ? They should appeal to the next Legislature for revenge. "Poor downtroden humanity." We hope ihe boys will not waste tar on the stones but apply it to the vagrants. An Irishman named Peter McGovern was run over by the dowu passenger train at Ches? ter, on Wednesday morning. We learn that he got aboard the train at Lewis's Turnout, seven miles above Chester, under the influ? ence of liquor, and, in attempting to get off the train at Chester, fell betwee~n the cars. The trainpassed over both ol his legs above the knee, crushing them to pieces. He died in about two hours. Union. The Masons celebrated St. John's Day at Gowdeysvllle. Address by Rev. M. C, Bar? nett. The Times bas the following apropos of whut is getting to be a very vexed question: "Au esteemed friend In a business letter to us, thus speaks of uu article which appeared in the Columbia Union, a lew days ugo, on the subject of the iree school system: 'I saw an editorial in the Columbia Onion, a few days ago, dilating at large on the terrible -misman? agement ol the free school system. The editor heaped abuse without stint upon the coun? ty commissioners and others connected with ii; but wound up by entirely exculpating Mr. J. K. Jillson, State superintendent of edu? cation, from all blame. He charged that the county commissioners did but little to earn their salaries of $1000 e icu. Now, I would like to know whii Mr. Jillson does to earn his $2500 for salary. $1000 lor contingent expenses, and $1000 for clerk hire ? He ls ostensibly placed at the head to control and superintend, - but what has he done in that regard ? The law requires him to visit all parts ot' the State and search into the practical operations ot ihe system, to see that all the officers do their duty. We cerlalnly have never seen or heard ol his attending to this class of lils dulles. The only acquaintance we have with lils opera? tions is In the way of 'orders' o; Hie State treasurer for the pay of teachers' Ci ns, over due by more than a year; while the3e ordere could not by any possibility be collected save through the intervention of Mr. Jillson'a $1000 clerk, and then to the tun0 of ten per cent, as a bonus to said clerk. Good pickings, that, Mr. Editor.' " PARDON OF C. C. BOWEN. NEW YORK, July 2. The Herald says thar Grant has pardoned Bowen, the bigamist and ex-Congressman.
