LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24. THE solution of a problem which has tormented the brain of Europe since the earliest migra tion. became communities, lost, yet living a life of their own, in the depth. of burn- jug deserts and along the courses of mighty mountain streams—the discovery of a secret which more than two thousand years ago arrested the audacity of explorers and held the imagination of poets spellbound; this is a victory of which the nineteenth century—in its greatness and its littleness so apt to justify Heiner's estimate of man—may well be more than idly proud. And without indulging in any spurious patriot ism, we may be allowed to say that such a victory seems to belong by a kind of na tural right and according to the fitness of things, to England, the planter and colonizer, and peaceful subduer of new worlds. M. or LESBIOII, we are persuaded, will not grudge this greater labour than the Suez Canal to • nation of narrow ideas and selfish aims, and the Emperor of the Emmen, while he is carrying the advantages of Parisian civilization into Mexico at the point of the bayonet, will not disdain the honour of giving his name to a channel of the Victoria Nyanza. For, in •truth, if the glory of these bloodless conquests has been achieved for England, the whole world par takes in the triumph. There is something refreshing in this welcome so nobly won and so justly bestowed upon the two discoverers of the Sources of the Nile, in the midst of the vulgar honours continually la vished in an age of false pretences upon successful traffickers in human servility, or upon the idols of conventional social worship. Captains Slums and Grairr have burnt no cities, laid waste no fertile countries ; they are not men born to flattery and homage "as the sparks "fly upwards" ; nor are they heroes of political party or hereditary power, or of dominant wealth, or of " interest" in high places. Here are simply two brave gentlemen and soldiers, who, in stead of employing a leave of absence in cultivating the graces of " good society" and lounging through a London season, have, at the certain sacrifice of health and the imminent peril of their lives, spent two years' leisure in the service of human know ledge ; many weary days and unresting nights, buried in the vast solitudes of trackless wildernesses, surrounded by the strange and threatening faces of savage tribes, con fronting the rage of the elements and the terrible surprise of cruel men ; undaunted by wasting heat, by thirst, and hunger, and fever, and lone liness, and silence, and far separation from all familiar and friendly custom, and carrying through all these trials and dangers incessant, an unshaken purpose, a fixed resolve, a buoyant and happy temper, an ever confident and courageous hope, and the cheering comfort of a manly friendship, knit closer and wrought firmer by mutual devo tion to a common cause. Captain GRIXTII modest and touching tribute to his comrade was a crowning grace to the welcome of Monday evening at Burlington-house. Whoever knows anything of the personal history of Arctic voyages, or indeed who has had any experience even of ordinary journeys, can testify to the severity of the ordeal which mutual friendship sometimes un dergoes under the strain of an unbroken and pro longed companionship. Let us leave for the present to geographers to discuss the question of the precise merits and im portance of this great adventure, to merchants the calculation of the possibilities which • glance into the heart of equatorial Africa discloses, and to the daring speculations of the highest Science to build larger and happier destinies for m►nkind upon the fact that, very near to the sources of the Nile, are to be found tribes of men who, though without religion and unconscious of • soul, are instinct with the virtues which we call Christian, and ruled by kings who are not only kings but " gen " tlemen ;" kings by a right divine which some European nations would be glad to acknowledge in their sovere'gns. Captain SPERE'S unaffected address on Monday evening was quite as full of eloquent and far-reaching suggestiveness to all students and thinkers, is of practical instruction to geographers. Evidently the trials and hardships of African discovery are not only those of bodily endurance, but of the meeting with tribes of human beings who have never seen a white man, and who treat every stranger of their own race as a natural enemy. Yet, in the THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVAIIING, JUNE 24, 1486r7' midst of these kingdoms, ruled and p. violent and suspicious races of m t rals.4l. gently and wisely ruled, hospita and gent. to strangers, and yearning for 'adssion ftw the great human family beyond their moun tains and their waters. Even the ferocious kings and tribes, always at war with one another, are not so bad by nature as the con tact of European civilization—the enterprise of slave-traders--hu made them. Indeed, even the King of DAHOMEY, it appears from his con versations with Commodore Wilatcrr, is in this respect not so bad as he seems, though taught to improve upon murder as a trade, by Christian Europe. To return to Captains STEER and GRANT; while we heartily echo the cheers of the assembly at Burlington House and the congratulations of the Royal Geographical Society, we sadly fear that the worst of their pains and penalties as distin guished travellers is yet to come. To have won the signal approbation of the Quzzw; the respectful welcome of the flower of English society and of its rightful leader, the Primer ; to receive such a testimony as the King of ITALY has been the first of European sovereigns to send—a testimony, as Sir RODERICE MVHCHISON gracefully remarked, worthy of the land that gave a Cottuscs to the world—these are no insignificant honours, no mean compensations. But what shall we say of the worse than tropical heat of drawing-rooms filled with a staring mob of frivolous fashion eager to see "the lions"? What of the breakfasts of zoological dilettanti, the evening parties which will not be complete unless "the Sources of the Nile, " you know," are invited? Well, we trust that the two gallant gentlemen, who have "'soaped a " bloodier hour " than this, will survive the 'aults of condescending impertinence. cbt Court. - - WIND9OIt CASTLE, Jolts 23.

A letter has been published in the Toronto Weekly Globe from the Hon. Mr. Young, who was wrecked in the Anglo-Saxon. He attributes the loam of the ship chiefly to not using the lead, and the great loss of life principally to the want of discipline on board during the disaster and to the defective boat accommodation for the Loge number et passengers. He confirms the statement of the cowardly conduct of some portion of the crew. Mr. Young states is his letter that a poor mother, a steerage passenger, threw her two children into his boat to rave them and immediately afterwards perished in the ship herself.

THE IRISH TENANT QUESTION.—Tin DIVISION Lain NIGHT.—Mr. Maguire's proposition last night for the appointment of a royal commissios to inquire into the state of the agricultural classes in Ireland, was supported by the following English liberal members:—Mr. Ayrtoa, Mr. Bright, Mr. Caird, Hon. F. Calthorpe, Mr. Clay, Sir B. Clifton, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Coniagham, Mr. Coz, Sir C. Douglas, Mr. W. E. Forster, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Laotians, Mr. Locks, Alderman Salomon., Mr. Warner, Mr. Weethead, Mr. Whalley, Mr. White, and Mr. Williams. A felr English conservatives olio voted is favour of the motion, viz., Mr. Ferranti, Mr. W. H. Hereby, Copt Jarvis, Mr. Papilloo, cad Mr. Stirling. Mr. Heeossey was the only Irish parsimony° who voted for the measure. The majarity was composed almost entirely of ministerial. iota, the conservatives having abstained with their leaders from voting on the question.

He applied to the court for his discharge, contending by coun that the English certificate was a foreign judg- I went executory in France according to the comity of nations. The court, however, held--and I have no reason to doubt the legality of its ruling—that a foreign judgment is of no force in France when ever it conflicts with French law ; that the court has the most complete and absolute right to review the grounds upon which the foreign judgment was pronounced ; and that, it being apparent in the present case that the bankrupt would not, under the circumstances, have been entitled to his con ' cordat in France, the arrest was good. Mr. &am ' bridge, therefore, remains in prison. English bank rupts are accordingly warned that their certificate does not absolve them in France from the claims of French creditors. The Bourse has about lost the ground it gained erday, and closed heavily. THE " ESSAYS AND REVIEWS " PROSECUTION& JUDICIAL comm.= OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL. (THIS DAY.) Prommt.—The Lord Chum Her, Lord Cranworth, Lord Hispdown, Lord Chelmsford, the Archbishop of Canter bury, the Archbishop of York, sad the Bishop of London. WILSON T. PunOALL. The appeal of Mr. Wilson against the decision of the Court of Arches was resumed this morning. Mr. Wilson, continuing his argument, held that the church had never laid down any doctrine concerning ever lasting fire, that the question had been mooted and dis cured, and yet the church bad remained silent. Julio did not hold the necessity even of the immortality of the soul, and the church had not excluded even the doctrine of nal venal restitution—the church allowed the opinion of a termination to the sufferings of thou who were condemned even though they were not restored. The Lord Chancellor Liked Mr. Wilson to point out the particular article libelled to which his argument had re finance. Mr. Wilson said the judge founded his condemnation upon the supposition that he had maintained the doctrine of universal restitution, and he wu therefore prepared to argue ' that even if that was the judicial construction of his words, the opinion of universal restitution was not excluded from the church of England. The Lord Chancellor—Do you accept the pump of the judgment as the correct interpretation of your wads? Pint fix the meaning of your words, and then show that they are consistent with the articles and formularies of the church. Mr. Wilson—l do not accept that interpretation. The Lord Chancellor—ls there any part of the essay libelled that expresses your belief in any intermediate state! Mr. Wilson—Not in any sense that the words ordinarily bear. The ordinary signification is a certain condition between death and judgment. The opinion of an inter mediate state is not excluded by any one of the formularies of the church of England, it was maintained in a celebrated sermon of Bishop Horsley, and half the clergy of the church of England hold a similar opinion. I speak of en intermediate state apart from the Romiah doctrine of purgatory. With respect to each persons concerning whom in reason and charity we can not pronounce tobe condemned to everlasting destruction, and yet have hesitation in admitting that they are fitted for the kingdom of Heaven, I hold that we may hope that in consequence of the sentence pronounced at the great adjudication they may be restored and carried Into a higher life in the ages to come. I shall have to show that the church has left three questions more open than they are held to be. The Lord Chancellor—The court objects that you declared hat after this life and at the end of the existing order of things, there will be no judgment of God. Mr. Wilson—l did not understand that the judgment went so far as to say I contended that there will be no judgment at all, but that there will be no judgment with everlasting effects, and I submit that my words do not go to that extent. My view is that with regard to the busy-belies and mere eaters and drinkers, who are certainly not fit for the kingdom of God, we are not to say that they ere to be condemned to the company of the devil and his angels. My essay concludes with ex pressing a hope in respect to those persons ; and the church, I contend, has never been excluded from the expression of a pious hope that they may not be everlastingly punished. I will show what has been the opinion of the church in re gard to this question.' Lord Chelmsford suggested that, as the court was not aware what course would be taken by the Queen's Advocate, the citations which Mr. Wilson proposed to make had bet ter be reserved for his reply. The Lord Chancellor—The court desires to hear the Queen's Advocate now, but will reserve to you the power of bringing forward all or any of those citations which it now desires you to abstain from entering upon. WILLIAMS V. THE BISHOP or SALISBURY. Dr. Rowland Williams then proceeded to state the grounds of his appeal against the sentence of admonition and suspension pronounced by the Dean of Arches, in respect of the " Review " published by him under the title of Bunsen's " Biblical Researches." He commenced by expressing his debt to the counsel who conducted his defence in the court below, and stated that the heavy ex pense of proceedings of this character induced him to argue the appeal in person. Passing to the judg ment of Dr. Lushiogton, he objected to the in terpretation of the court that the Scripture was written by the extraordinary and preternatural inter position of God, for which he held there was no authority in the church, and contended that that which the church had distinctly laid down—namely, the inspiration of the Scripture, was not disputed in any portion of his review. [Dr. Williams was proceeding with his argument when our report was despatched.] (FROM LAST NIONT'II GAZETTLI DOWNINO-NFRKET, JUNE 22 —The Queen has been plowed to appoint John Bell Lowly, Esq., to be a member of the Legislative Council of the Island of Antigua.

'After Term Nil Prins Sittings ut Westminster.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DICKSON V. LORD COMBIRNIRZ AND OMER& This was the sixth day of this now tedious inquiry, owing to the necessity of oompleting the chain of evidence of the routine of the War-odic°. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Denman, Q.C., _and Mr. Gordon Allen were for the plaintiff • Mr Baal. QM., Mr. Dowdeswell, and Mr. Field for beiti . wal Peel sad Lord Comhermere ; and Mr. Lush, Q.C., end Mr. Inward for Lord Wilton. Lord Harding., the parliamentary Tleder-Searetary for War in 1858, was called, and deposed to his reception of the various documents, and his minutes thereon. la rill militia matters the communications are through the lord•lieutemt of the county ss commandant of the regiment, sad not through the commanding officer of the regiment. This being a purely military question, General Peel lett it to Gener al Douglas sad Sir Henry Storks, his military advisers. Colonel Dicksoo's threat to lay the matter before the public after the board of inquiry did not accord with my notions of discipline. The Lord Chief Justice interposed and mid he saw no rea son for proving every minute. No one could doubt for a moment the perfect sincerity and honesty of the gentlemen who made them. Mr. Coleridge said he was not going to impute dishonesty of purpose to Mr. Marshall, and still lees to Lord Hardtop, with whom he went to school The Lord Chief Justine said they were not there to try whether the prokedinp in the War-office were each as they would adopt, but the bons fides of them. (To Lord Hardinp)—Everything was done with a bona fide intention of discharging your duty? Lord Marengo—Certainly. Cron-examined by Mr. Coleridge —1 have no acquaint ance with Colonel Dickson. The first time I maw bun was in court. I concurred with Sir H. Storks, anraming the facts to be what his minute represented. I never saw the report of the board of inquiry. I naturally trusted in • great measure to the opinion of • man of Sir P. Douglas's high position sad military knowledge. Sufficient information had bees before as. at the time. I concurred with Mr. Marshall sad Sir H. Storks's opinions that the milder course should be first adopted of calling on Colonel Dickson to resign. I Ma aware that the report of the board was adverse to Colonel Dickson. I asked for it for my own information before the last opportunity was gives to Colonel Dickson to resign. Re-examined—Sir H. Storks was the principal military adviser at the time. Lieut.-General Peel, before he was sworn, stated that he had removed her Majesty's consent to make the neomsary stalemate in • oourt of jua tios.—On the 3d May I was informed that lord Combermere, Lord Wilton, sod Colonel North wished to see me. They were accordingly introduced. They came without any papers, and Lord Combermere informed me they had been at the Home-Gusrds for • or a board of inquiry on Colonel Dickson, but they had been referred to the War-office. de it related to a militia regiment, and, having been but • short time in office and little acquainted with militia. business, I im mediately rang the bell and directed that Mr. Marshall, the head of the militia breach, should be sent for. He came into the room and I desired Mr. Marshall to inform Lord Combermere what course he must panne. Mr. Marshall informed Lord Oombermere in my proem* that if a lord-lieutenant wished to obtain the consent of the crown to remove a militia officer under his command, application must be made in writing to the Secretary for War, containing the grounds upon which he made the recommsodatiou. From that time it became • part of the official business of the Waroffice, and my impressioa is that it never came before me again till the receipt of Lord Combermere'a letter of the 9th June, together with the papers and documents that accompanied it The letter of the 10th May was brought to me for signature by Sir H. Storks, the military secretary, and after he bad detailed to me the grounds upon which it was written, end I highly approved of it. I had no se. quitiotance with Colonel Dickson up to the 3rd of May, but I recollect him as having contested Norwich. Mr. Hovill—Was there coy underhand influence or any relationship or friendship or acquaintance with Lord Com bermere and Lord Wilton that induced you to send in false charges to her Majesty ? General Peel—None whatever. I should not have con sented to such • thing. Mr. Bevill—Wu there an done The Lord Chief Justice—The right way to put the ques tion is—was any personal influence used or might be said to be used, to make you depart from the ordinary course of things ? General Peel—None whatever. From that time till I ad vised Colonel Dickson to tulip, I have no recollection of spin seeiog Lord Combermere or Lord Wilton. The sub sequent correspondence paused through the office in the usual and ordinary course. After I hod decided on the matter I had a communication from Mr. Duncombe and afterwards mew Lord Wilton. I consider myself competent to form an opinion on this subject, and Sir H. Stork', Sir Percy Douglas, sod Mr. Marshall capable of advising on it. I did not act solely ' t w o eir recommenda tions. I read all the papers most tively, and the grounds upon which I came to the oocclusioa that it was proper to remove Col. Dickson from the command of the regiment were contiined in his own explautioos. It was my duty to enforce the Queen's regulation, not only for the haunt of the regiment., but the protection of the officers and the tradesmen. In deciding on this question I was guided conscientiously by Colonel Dickson's own state ment*, and irrespective of the regimental board of inquiry lor any other circumstances, and I considered it di graceful, *and such as could not be permitted to con tinue. The second inquiry was made at Colonel Dickson's request, and I considered it hie inquiry and not mine. I was anxious to give him every moisture in setting himself right, and I wished to be relieved from the painful duty of removing him from the command. I tided independently and from • conviction that I was discharging honestly and conscientiously the duties of my office. At the ctoodusion of General Peel's evidence, The Lord Chief Justice submitted there was no ease whatever spinet him, and suggested the propriety of his being relieved from the action. After some discussiou, Mr. Coleridge assented, and • verdict was taken for General Peel. The ease, however, proceeded against T - Combermere and Lord Wilton. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sitting at NW Prior, at Woatodostar.—(Befon Lord Baron Pollock end n Special Jury.) THE ATTORNKT -OHNIIIAL V. RILL= AND OTHEEB-BLIZUEI I imagine how he must have loathed and recoiled from the teak he performed when reading the brief of the American minister. He put question after question to elicit the tale they had heard from Charles Randolph Young ; the jury could tht fail to observe the toffy and fat a l i ty bat of the course adopted by the crown in calling met a witness, because what he stated as to the proceeding% rsepectng and cc board the Alabama had nothing whatever to do with the Alemadre, and he thong: l lr this persou's • evidence put an end to any shadow or t of a mac or I the part of the crown which rested on e other parte of the evidence. After alluding to the proviSMl of the Fangio Enlistment Act, and the authorities bearing on the question at issue, the learned gentleman concluded as fol. lows :—Gentlemen of the Jury,—You have power by your decision to paralyse the commerce and industry of oar povt e . You may fetter hosed and straightforward ship-balding in this country and drive it to a asighbouring country, who are quite opei end willing to accept it ; you have it in your power to rejoice the hearts and quicken the energies of the spice ad informers whoinfest ourdockyards and appear to throng the antechamber of the American minister. You have it in your power to do all this by ending a verdict for the crown ; but on the 000trary you have it in your power to achieve a far higher and better result—you have it in you power to show the American government, and in all mar hey, good feeling, sod good fellowship, that upon one thing you are determined, and that is to have our laws applied, not upon suspicion or presumption, but upon clear legal proof. You have it in your power to show that the neutrality we have adopted in this unfortunate war has been adopted, not to hamper and destroy but to faster and promote the development of our commerce. Above all, yen have it in your power to show that just as we will not change our laws, so also we will not stretch, or strain, or warp our laws to suit the temper of • foreign minister or the exigencies of • foreign state. Gen tlemen, you can do that and I trust you will do it in this , cue, by returning a v erd ict against the crown for the cis fendanta (There was considerable applause at the termination of the learned gentleman's speech.) The Attomey-General then replied on the whole case on the part of the crown. He said the crown had not thought it right to indict any of the defendants, so the consequence of a oonviction on aa indictment would be petal, and they simply asked that the ship Alexandra should be declared duly forfeited, which was the most lenient course they could adopt. The Lord Chief Baron—la it lawful for a ship-builder to build a ship which is capable of being turned to warlike purposes with the view of offering it for sale to a belli. gerent, to be used against a power with which we are at peace! The Attorney-General—l would rather comfbee my answer to this—All we allege is that the ship was built with the intention that it should ester the envies of soother power at war with a power with which we are at peace. We do not allege anything more than that that would create an offence under the act. The Lord Chief Batty—l have no hesitation in saying that, according to all the decisioes, a shipbuilder bee is I much right to build a ship and to sell it to either of the belligerent parties so the maker of gunpowder or of maskets, or any other warlike implements, bad to sell any of those articled to the same parties. It is laid down in Keet's commentaries on the American law that it is the right of neutral subjects to supply both belligerents with arms and all munitions of war, and why should they not supply ships ?

This was a snit for the revocation of • probate. Mr. Joseph Mayer, late of Hanley, Staffordshire. • retired manu facturer of pottery, died on the 28th of Jane, 1860, leaving a fortune consisting principally of personalty, and amount ing to about 200,0001. Oe the 73rd of the previous April be bad made a will ; and on the 23rd and 26th of June two codicils. He appointed Mr. Leotard James Abington, Mr. Peal Smith, end Mr. Thomas Cod. dard, his executors. These gentlemen had propounded the instruments in due wane ; but the probate which they ob. tamed was now called io, on the ground that the documents had not been properly executed, that the deceased was not of testamentary capacity, and that the will and codicils had been procured by the undue influence, importunity, and control of Leonard James Abington , Abner Wedgwood, and others. By the will the deceased distributed his property amongst his first cousins, and in the event of any of them predeceaaing him he directed that their children should take the share of their ancestor. By the codicils (which were substantially the same) hit bequeathed a number of legacies to personal friends and charitable institutions. Amongst others he gave to Mr. John Ridgway, of Caul. ton-place, Stoke, a sum of 20,000/. ; to Mn Edward John Ridgway, of Hanley (the plaintiff), 6,000/.; to Mr. Thos.

His freehold property he gave to Mr. Abington and Mr. Wedgwood as tenants in common ; and he declared that John Ridgway and his children should not be entitled to any benefit under the will as cousins. Lastly, he ordered that any legates that should attempt to set aside his will or codicils should forfeit his share in the property, and that such share should fall into the resides. The plaintiff was thus a first couch once removed. Mr. Abner Wedgwood. it was stated, had had an aunt, who had been engaged to the deceased ; and on her death be hail - adopted both ths intervener and his sister. The latter bad lived with him till she died ; and the testator had advised Mr. Wedgwood as to his entry into life, had recommended him to become s farmer, had placed him on a farm of his own, and had pro. mimed to provide for him at his death.

Yesterday evening, at 8 o'clock, N. Teochio sod General kialenchini, seconds cameo by M. Rattazzi, waited upon M. Mioghetti's friends, Gls. Cialdini sod Prince Simonetta. The latter, having the choice of arms, decided that the duel should be fought with cavalry sabres. M. Rattazzi, who had never bad • sabre in hie band in his life, took two fencing lemmas with that arm in the course of the day. M. Miogbetti was nearly as unskilled as his adversary. At 5 o'clock this morning MM. Tecchio and Malenchini, Dr, Spirino, and M. Rattassi west to Btupinigi, the place chosen for the rencontre. They found MM. Cialdini, Simonetta, and Minghetti already on the ground. The two first passes produced no result. IL Rattazzi seemed to fight with desperation, while M. Minghetti appeared more maxims to defend himself than to attack. At the third amault M. Rattazzi was slightly wounded in the right arm, a little below the shoulder. Notwithstanding this wound he con. tinned to fight, but after the fourth assault General Cialdini and the other *soon& put an end to the contest. It dose not appear that MIL Minghetti and Rattazzi were recon ciled after their duel. (asirria's rnmosAms.) FRANCE. CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY. PARIS, Joss 24. M. Billault has been appointed Minister of State in place of M. Walewaki, whose resignation has been accepted by the Emperor. The decree nominating M. Billault to this poet places among his functions those exercised by the Ministers without Portfolio. Part of the func tions appertaining to the Ministry of State are transferred to the Ministry of the Emperor's Household, and another part to the Ministry of Education. Public Worship is assigned to the Ministry of Justice. The direction of the Monifeur will enter among the duties of the Minister of the Interior. The following are the remaining appointments which have been made : IL _ Baroche .... Minister of Justice. M. Boudet Minister of the Interior. M. Duruy Minister of Education. M. Behio Minister of Agriculture, Com merce, and Public Works. M. Rouher Minister President of the Council of State. President of the Corps Legit'latif. The Moniteur of this morning says : "The plebiscite of 1852 establishing that the ministers were responsible to the Emperor alone, had the object of terminating those parliamentary rivalries and ambitions which were the constant causes of agitation and weakness for past govern ments. Without lessening the strength and liberty of action necessary to his power, the Emperor, by his decree of November 24, was desirous of giving to the great bodies of the state a more direct participation in the general policy of his govern ment. This decree, however, did not modify the fundamental principles of the plebiscite of 1852, which a fresh plebiscite could alone change. The ample and complete discussion of public affairs was the motive for the creation of ministers without portfolio, having in the matters under debate no personal part. The Emperor, by the decree of to-by, substitutes a minister entrusted with the mission of representing the relations of the government with the great bodies of the state, with the object of more solidly organising the representation of the governmental idea before the chambers without departing from the spirit of the constitution. The Minister of State, who is freed from administrative functions, and the Minister President of the Council of State, with the assistance of the members of this council, are henceforth deputed to explain and defend questions placed before the Senate and Corps Legislatif."

The bulletin of the Moniteur of to-day quotes the following from the Rape%dance Beige "Although the details of the award pronouncedby the King of the Belgians on the 20th instant, in reference to the Anglo-Brazilian difficulty, are not yet known, it is believed that the principal ques tion has been decided in favour of the Brazilian government. It is said that his Majesty decided that notwithstanding certain irregularities on the part of the Brazilian authorities, which he points out and censures the treatment of which the English officers complained, did not constitute an insult to the British navy." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom otnt owx cosuaroximurr.) PARIS, TUESDAY Evens°. A circular of M. de Persigny's to the prefects on the result of the elections takes the most illiberal and narrow-minded view possible of that great event. After thanking the prefects, sub-prefects, mayors, and all other functionaries for their "seal" in " enlightening " the populations, he proceeds to observe that for the first time for ten years a coali tion has formed between "opinions more or less attached to anterior governments." This is a gross teflon of the movement. The coalition misrepreeeni was not on behalf of anterior governments, but on behalf of better and more liberal government for the future at the hands of the existing dynasty. He shows his hatred of liberty by the as sertion, which involves a damaging admis- Ilion, that in " the great centres of popu lation which are habitually accessible to the influence of the press, universal suffrage has been surprised." This means simply that the in telligent part of the population has voted for the opposition. After this he falls back for consolation upon the ignorant peasantry not yet emancipated from the prefect's drill, declaims against parlia mentary orators, and winds up with an unmeaning exhortation to the prefects to be moderate and conciliatory now that the struggle is over. I rather think this circular is M. de Persigny's last dying speech and confession. An important judgment, involving a conflict of laws between France and England, was pronounced last week by a Paris Court of First Instance.

OF THZ ALEXANDRA: At the sitting of the court this morning, Sir H. Cairns resumed his speech on the part of the defence. He examined at length the evidence for the crown, which he mid had been given by five discharged workmen,onecrimp,and two informer. or spies. The question was not wbatimight be done with the vessel, or what she could be converted into, but what she actually was at the time of the seizure. Capt. Englefield no doubt said sbe was capable of being con vert< I into a man-of-war, but there was no evidence to show that she had any one of the special equipment. of such a vesseL On the contrary her fitting' were of the ordinary character. and so far as they went the vessel might have been destined for innocent purposes. The learned counsel animadverted severely on the ch ar acter and conduct of the two spies by whose evidence the crown sought chiefly to establish their case. George Temple Young went to the office of Frazer, Trenholme, and Co., and represented to one of the partners, Mr. Pnoleau, that he was a compa triot, a secessionist of like spirit, in favour of the Southern cause, and with that lie upon his lips be endeavoured to beguile him into admissions with nigard to the Alexandra. He was sent there by Mr. Adams, the American minister, and his advisers, ass spy for that purpose, but, votwithstand log his imposture on Mr. Priolean, he did not obtain • single fact which bore on the case of the Alexandra. He now came to the great witness in the case, whom the crown reserved to the last, and brought forth with some pomp and ceremony—Clarence Randolph Young. How was he to describe that specimen of humanity, "raised "as he said he was in the state of G eorg ia ? A man, who began his career by abandoning his wife and child in his native country ; who wormed himself into the confidence of Captain Bullock, became his prints secretary and bad access . : W e epers ; who was accepted as the companion of those in the Confederate cause, and persuaded them that he s red the feelings end patriotism which actuated them ; who came over to England, where be armed the same character, and being received by Fraser, Traci holme, and Co., became possessed of every secret se to the proceedings of those engaged in the war on the part of the Southern States ; who accepted • commis- Moo from his native country in her service, became an officer enrolled in her navy and owing allegiance to her, received her pay and distributed her money ; who then became adeeerter, slipping overboard or leaving the ship of which be was an officer, in order that he might, by the lying pretence of marriage, effect the ruin and plunder of the property of • young widow who had the misfor tube to entertain him in her house ; who succeeded by that pretext to pomade himself of her property, and then brought her to Liverpool, where he turned her adrift penniless in the stmeta ; who then hurried up to London to pour into the ear of Mr. Adams, the American mi sister, his tale of treachery ; who had betrayed every one of his familiar friends, every one of his fellow-officers in the cause of the country to which he had promised allegiance; who stood in that box before the jury and denied no crime and blushed at no villany, and only, indeed, seemed indignant when it was suggested that be had committed bigamy with a mulatto, and not a white woman, and then all his feelings of self.respect recoiled, and he indignantly denied the charge. This man was put for ward at the end as the climax of the case on the pars et the crown, but really he was not the witness of the but the witness of Mr. Adams, the Minister of the l'.l " M States. To Mr. Adams Charles Randolph Young Mid bin tale ; and it was he who listened to it instead of driving from his door the miscreant who must have polluted the very air he breathed, and who handed him over ho the crown to be brought before a jury of Englishmen in order that they might hear the tale which the unmitigated villain told. Knowing the honourable and straightforward character of the Attorney-General he could easily THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) ILLRLBOROLIGH-STREET. • MIGHT OCT= IS PICCADILLY. Mr. Alfred Mayow, of Portland, Dovestabire, wine' merchant, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drank and disorderly in Piccadilly, and assaulting police. sergeant Thomas Foinett, 292 A, Wm. Moore, 187 C, and Wrn. Fish, 331 A, and Lenten Franklin, a prostitute. of 7, Stanley-street, Bromptoo, was also charged with striking Sergeant Foinett on the head with an umbrella. Sergeant Foinett said—About a quarter to 1 this morning I saw the male defendant outside toe Royal Standard pub ! lie-house, to Piccadilly, just at the top of the Haymarket. He had been expelled from that house sod others, and had lost his hat. As he was screaming drunk and mating a gost disturbance I advised him to go away, but he iefused to do no. I then told him that if he did not discontinue his poise 1 should be obliged to take Dim into custody, and attempted to do so, when he struck me twice in the face. 1 then took boll of him, when he struggled and we both fell, end while on the ground he set to kicking as if he were mad. His COO. duct then became so outrageous that it took as 20 minutes to get him to the station in Vine-street There were not fewer than 1,000 persons assembled. and there was a scene of the most riotous description. While on the way to the station the female (Franklin) came up and said- - Von brute, let him go," sad she then etruck me across the heel with an umbrella. I had no hat on at the time having 101 l it in the melee. Mr. Tyrwhitt—That shows what a useless thing the N. lice hat is in a row. Sergeant Foinett—l then took Franklin to the station. She had been drinking, but was Dot drunk. While At the station the male def end ant struck the gaoler, and his c oudu , :: was so disgraceful that he was obliged to be removed to A lower cell, as he disturbed the whole oeighbourhood. Fish, 331 A, said—On going to the spot I found the se: , geant and the male defendant on the ground, sod on at tempting to raise the defendant he struck me a violent askeng blow in the mouth, cutting my lip very badly. Oo the defendant to go quietly, be said, " not go for the police ; will fight Tom Sayers or any other man in England." The female on the way to Vinestreet stnidc the eargeent with her umbrella. She was with the ut ile defendant outside the Royal Standard, but 1 don't too whether she had been with him before. Moore, 187 C,said—Oa attempting to assist in taking the male defendant to the station he struck and kicked me, and made use of very violent language. The defendant Mayow-1 was struck by the police. Sergeant Foinett—Yes, I struck you, but it was to pre vent you biting me in a moat cowardly manner. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mayow what he had to ch im e ? Mayow—l had been drinking, and was exasperated.. Franklin—l did not strike the sergeant, and only inter feted on behalf of the gentleman. I Mr. Tyrwbitt—Theee amanita on the police are aithout I defence.
