The shat tered planks of this wrecked iostitation are drifting about at random on a vexed sea of litigation, cud it is becoming more and more evident that the beet part of the salvage will eltiruately be the spoil of the lawyers, The Royal British Bank was yesterday adjudicated to be bankrupt under the provisions of an Act is that be half made and provided, to wit, the 7 and 8 Vic, a. 111. The date of the act of bankruptcy relied en being the 9th of September last, and the order of the Vim- Camicaixon for bringing the Company under the Winding-up Acts not having been made till the24th,it seems likely,supposing the statute in question to prove applicable to the case, that the whole concerns of the great swindle will have, after all, to be gone into before one of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy in Besinghall-street, and not before one of the Masten in the Winding-up offices. Seven days, however, are allowed to the lawyers wbo represent the Company to dispute the adjudication. That they will do so is a matter of course, and the only certainty involved by this fresh step on the road to ruin is that of a keen and costly encounter between legal wits,as to the sods of jurisdiction and the class of pnotitioners in which the law of the land has vested the right of grinding costs out of the shareholders and depositors of the defunct Company. The result of the decision is of sufficiently little importance to any parties except the law adminis- Wore. 'wait in Bertans may be said, almost without a metaphor, of the ill-advised depositor who is rash enough to rush with any hope of effective relief from Lincoln's-inn to Basinghail-street. The delay, the vexation, the costliness of the process are pretty much alike in both cases, or semi sup• posing the balance in these respects to be rather in favour of the Court of Bankruptcy, we confess that, as at present advised, we do not very clearly see how the powers of that court can possibly be brought to bar on say other property than the actually existing assets of the Bank at the period of its stoppage. To declare what shareholders are to be contributeries, and to enforce from them the payment of calls With* "last shilling and last acre" fund be exhausted, is, as far as we understand the matter, the peculiar pew repave of the Court of Chancery under the Windier up Acts. Be this, however, as it may, one thing at all events is clear, that the fresh litigation sure to arise out of this new step taken in the stales of the Royal British Bask is far more calculated to benefit the lawyers than the shareholders or depositors of that tilleastrous concern. Us impotency of the law to protect inventors is universally acknowledged. Events illustrating Wean of sonstant occurrence.

Nobody denies that a very ,hart time atter the discovery the tree. masters employed Mr. HEATH'S process, and made immense fortunes by it. But, says the reader, why were the manufacturers allowed to do thief Why did not Mr. BRASH protect himself by a patent? Mr. HEATH did take out a patent, bet be did not by that means protect himself. Cabaret of manganese is a compound body. Mr. HUTH dis covered very shortly after taking out his patent that if the elements of the cartniret were placed in the melting pot instead of the carbon: Itself the same effect would be produced. The separate eratinfse• tare, therefore, of the urbane was rendered nam es/eery ; and is this manufacture was suasively expensive, the saving in the msoufacture of the iron wan very great. This Cauvery was jest as much Mr. Hunt's as that of the properties of the carbaret. It was, however, a most unfortunate discovery for him. Is the innocence of hie heart be communicated this to the manufacturers. They received the Worm. goo joyfully, commenced using the elements of the earboret instead of the carboret itself, and refired henceforth to pay him the royalty de nuded. They had agreed to pay for the where, net for the elements of the carburet It was replied that the elements combined in the melting pot, and formed the carboret The insolent spouse was that nobody could look into the melting pot sod see "tat was going on. It was urged that the inventor had a still further claim for proteetloo, as his diseovery of the use of the elements made the process of manufacture so moth cheaper. It was absurdly replied that the elements being oat of all properties cheaper than the oarboret itself, the use of such ele ments in the manufacture woo a new diseovery, ear isvention, and not within the letters palest.

Shortly after the publics. tion of Prince Oortshakoff's eines,, our oabiust—l have the intelligence from an lodisputable scone— sent to Paris a note coached in much more energetic terms then asy previous communication. In this note France is urged, in an amicable but very earnest spirit, not to allow herself to be dragged by England into employing demonstrative measures against the King of Naples, which would hays the character of a pressure or a menace, but to confine herself, as Austria has dose, to friendly representa tions. which do no injury to the sovereign rights of that monarch. " It would hardly be risible for an explicit reply to this note to have narked Vienna by this time, but the French government has already, by 11111111113 of the telegraph, seat very rewiring explanatiou, dispos ing altogether of the apprehensions relative to the pretended naval expedition, and leading is to hope that England, if she persists in certain demonstra tions, will remain perfectly isolated—a fat se/Went to cause her to renounce, fa the moment, *Tay pro ject of the kind.

After the "Pectin" the firewoeks formed the great feature of the people's share of the fan, and consequently much expectation had been raised, sod considerable gossip had circulated respeeting them for many days previous to their coming As the popular organ of wonder always delights in stet/Was, the number and cow of the various items had been circumstantially stated, and there was not a zasjik who was not ready to swear that there would be at least one bouquet of 40,000 rockets, every one of which was worth two roubles. Bat the judicious shook their heeds as they looked up at the continuously lowering sky, and ex paaded their umbrellas to the pitiless perse vering, through and through, soaking rain. Each party has now has its triumph, the inellke have as sisted at the fireworks without saturated sheepskins, and the weather prophets been jutified by a density of atmosphere that dimmed the brilliancy of the most vivacious tourbillon, and enveloped the imperial balcony as with a pall during surly the whole of the evening. The site wan also admirably chosen, both for sight-using and for immunity from acci dents. The college of the Yetku cadets is :beautital building, forming the residence of a wealthy nut chant, and is situated far away from Kremlin acid Venkoi, over in Sheppok, beloved of steam-boiler factories and cotton a Fabriks." The ironed le al most amphithestrie is form, so that in spite of ob &tractive Cossacks. and surly genedarmee, in cloaks of enormous amplitude, everything that steed upon two legs had a full view of everything that was able to emerge from the smoke, which was enough to make the Londoner. reminiscent of his dear native November fogs, decidedly nostalgic.

We had ma to also; amongst the rest, an arrangement (which would have done honour to Jana) of the "National Hymn," the drum parts to be played by cannon, to be heinously let off for the purpose. I had previously attended a rehearsal of this grand effect, and must confess had not formed any very sanguine expectations of its suo one. The plan was to have electric wires communi cating with all the tomb-holes of the gone, the other ends being appended to the keys of a piano, at which the maestro was to preside, aad deal oat with due precision this novel and astounding accompaniment. But galvanic batteries will have their little whims and caprices, as well as ourselves, and consequently, sometimes the guns hung fire, and meatiness went off too soon, so that although making a cuff oient amount of crash they were quite as suesessful in creating confusion. As with the rehearsal so with the performance. The thousand chanters and two thousand musicians were frequently thrown out in the most solemn pussies in the " National Hymn" by a cannonade, which, had it come in at the proper time, would have produced literally an electric effect. However, every one had ones to be pleased and astonished, and Russia is not a country where people are apt t 7 find fault when it is the imperial pleasure that universal good-humour should prevail. Everything went off well, and the vast crowds re-' tired in the most orderly manner, as is the custom in Russia. A few inujika trampled to death, more or less would not justify me in qualifying this asser tion, as the fact is never considered worth mentioning even in " the boil papers." FRANCE.

I was hardly prepard to find so much interest taken by the townspeople of the South lathe struggle now going on between the ultramontane p a rt the moderate catholic& There is never a strong feeling among the masses against the exorbi tant powers claimed by the clergy, which are identi fied in their minds with absolutist principles, to which they are by no means disposed to submit ' patiently. The priest. are very active just now, and groups are to be found at every railway station re turning from the tours they have made during the vacation t and I hear that they have been beating up recruits diligently for the seminaries—with what success I have no means of knowing. The religious feeling, as regards the offices of the church at lust, is by no means active in the districts I have visited. The women attend mass and confession, the men loiter about the squares and cafés during service. At Clermont, Le Puy, St. Etienne, Nimes, Arles—even "La Boone Ville" of the Pope's, Avignon, the same scene was always presented; for twenty women to be seen at church one man attended, and I saw one of our own sex at confessional, where they only appear on the greater occasions. A canon of Avignon, with whom I conversed on the subject, acknowledged this state of things with regret. " The revolutions and the secret societies," he said, " are to blame for a por tion of the indifferentism which has struck you, but the Nurtenotterie ' of the Ardennes does en infinity of mischief." Unluckily, he then asked me if I were a peetestaist or a catholic, and so our conversation ter minated for all useful purposes, to my great regret, for I wished to obtain some information as to the religious condition of Daupttioy. New are abundant everywhere, and are usefully employed in supervising the various charitable institutions, and as they are also charged to a considerable extent with the educa tion of the girls, the religious feeling of the women of all classes to easily amount* d for. I met only two monks, cordeliers, remarkably fine men, and in sleek, good condition, but could extract nothing from them: they detected the Huguenot, I suppose. _ At Marseilles, a merchant who had come through Provence front Bayonne fully confirmed the bad accounts of the harvests in the intermediate districts, where the small proprietors are always in a condition to suffer acutely from any visitation of that desctiption. They are, in fact, little more than mitten, dependent for their subsistence on the proclaim of their small holdings, which are not I large enough to prodooe sufficient surplus commodities to enable them to accumulate capital. South of Lyons there is little doubt that the winter is likely to prove • trying one. I have already stated that the wine crop of the Rhone is scarcely more than a fourth of the usual yield, and that the local consumption of wine is very large, it being a necessary of lite to the labourer. The corn mope, always below the require ments of the population, are very deficient, and the silk crop is a failure, so that it is feared that in addi tion to an enhance d oat of the necessaries of life, labour will not be in great demand, the high price of the staples of Lyons, Eft. Etienne, and Valence being likely to diminish the orders, an effect which the manufacturers here say is alr eady being produced. Following the inundations so closely, this is a subject of some anxiety to the government, and it is believed that extensive works in the whole of these southern departments will be undertaken, partly with a view to give the peasantry employment daring the winter. Among other things needed is a good and ex tousles system of forest planting and nursing. One of the thine which strikes every traveller through the South is the great scarcity of forest trees of .0 dent size to be squared. Plum abound in the mountain districts, but they are of small seantling ; sod the olive, mulberry, and other fruit trees, are good for little when they have done bearing. The sycamore is the largest elms of tress, but the timber is not good, aid the evergreen oak, the maple, the chewer, &0., attain a good size only in particular localities; even the beech is usually of small size, and I found that most of the large timber used in constructions is grown out of the district. The abundance of stone and the scarcity of timber accounts for the peculiar character of the buildings in the South of France and the universal employment of masonry. The ground floors of most of the houses have stoee-groined erilinge, and stone staircases are almost universal. It is amusing to hear the wondering of travellers by railway at the absence of national charseteristics among the people with whom they are brought into contact, but a railway station is scarcely the place to seek for them. The costume and the decorations may vary, but the dramatis persona are much the same throughout France. A tolerable sprinkling of soldiery, rude and noisy ininverse proportion to their length of service; a priest or two (south of the Loire especially) local proprietors or dignita ries, owing evidently small allegiance to soap and water, but having red 'Abend' at their button-holes; peasants in blooms, and their wives and sisters, presenting the only peculiarities of costume; stout old women preternaturally ugly, with them immense bundles and baskets which stout old women always cling to as though they carried their very souls in them; and commercial travellers, who are much alike in all countries where railways exist. Bat the extension of the railway system in this terentry bas undoubtedly done much towards render ing the inhabitants of the various departments sore oosreopolitan in their habits and appearance, though dissimilar in dialects and usual occupations. It has diffused a more utilitarian spirit and greater commer- ' dal activity. Let no traveller in Provence or Lan guedoc dream of the poetry he may have been led to expect as existing there, nor look for the wild simple life associated with his a priori DOOM of Auvergne. The inhabitants of the larger towns are all wrept in commerce; "la gal seines" has given place to money getting ; and the egvisultneist finds that he can afford few cessations from lessor, and the rural holiday makisgs, chiefly arising from the terrific abundance of church holidays in the olden time, are nearly at an end. The Sunday, or the great holiday, is passed in the nearest town accessible, the women frequent. lag the churches, the men congregating in the open places or at the roles and &liberate, alloying them selves with wonderful stolidity and demureness. At Villeneuve pat Avignon a sound of fiddling in the court of what had once been a convent, but had now become a sort of raft, attracted me, and there I found the younger people of the town and of the surrounding villages dancing—quadrilles and polkas. And that II all that remains of the troubadours; though a Reboot still makes songs end pastry, many such swallows would not make summer again in those provinces. By the bye, I found that Sophooles was a perruquier at Villeneuve, for I saw not only his name over the door, but the namesake of the great tragic post himself exercising his craft on one of the dandies of the town. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 4th inst. give details of the review at Los Carabasebeles, when 8,000 troops were as the ground. After the Queen gave a grand dinner to the misisters, the marshals. generals, and other dignitaries, and it is said that at it her Majesty paid marked attention to the Minister of War (O'Donnell). M.

Advice, from Copenhagen of the 4th state that the ministerial crisis was still undetermined. The Council of State broke up its meeting on the previous Thursday, leaving all unsettled. The King had refused to accept the resignation of his ministers, who accordingly continue to discharge the duties of office. The Diet of the monarchy was opened at Copen hagen on the 4th by royal rescript. In the elections which followed M. Rot witt was chosen president, and Bishop Moored and M. Behovelin vice-presidents of the Folkathing, and M. P. D. Braun president, and J. 0. Larsen and Professor Clausen, vice-presidents of the Unclothing. The Diet was then prorogued until the let of December. THE UNITED STATES. Awarding to the latest intelligence from Kansas, of the 19th tilt., Governor Chary, at the head of several companies of dragoons, had gone in search of General Lane, with the determination to arrest him if in the territory. The Pro-Slavery party were taking measures to thoroughly organise for the elu tion on the first Monday of October. The steamer David Tatum arrived at St. Louis on the 22nd; and took on board at Kansas City 360 citizens of Missouri, who, in obedience to the proclamation of Governor Geary, had given up their military organi. lotion, and returned to Missouri. Lawrence was in possession of the United States troops, by whom ninety of General Lane's men had been made pri soners. The whole of Governor Reed's force had been disbanded, and returned to their homes. Governor Geary was at Lecompton with 1.000 United States troops, all determined to maintain the peace and execute the laws. The report of Lane and his men having fled to Nebraska is confirmed. The equinoctial gales had been severely felt on the lakes, and thirty vessels were reported ashore in Lake Michigan. The following despatch from Chi. ago, of the 26th ult., details an awful disaster on the same lake : The Niagara left Colliogwood at 2 p.m. Sept. 22, with between 160 and 176 pruners. Twenty-five left the boat at Sheboygan, where she arrived at 2 p.m. on the 24th. When two boars out from Sheboygan the passengen disco vered fire ienting from the engine-room, and in a few minutes the whole cabin wee In flames. The wildest consternation followed. The boats were lowered end all filled, bat cap dud, except one, containing 20 wingers. Numbers jumped overboard sod were instantly drowned. The Kamer Traveller was 10 miles distant when the fire was discovered, bat saved 30 persons. The propeller Illinois, bowed down, also picked up about 30, and landed them at Sheboygan. A life-boat at Port Washington rescued 20 pawns. Their same, have not been received. George Haley, clerk of the Niagara, is supposed to be lost. Pro bably 60 or 60 lives are lost in all. There is a rumour in the city this afternoon that the fire was t►e work of an ineenniary. It is stated that bazar diataly after the fire was discovered a keg of powder exploded, blowing the flames in every direction. The first engineer was not on board. There Is no telegraph to Port Washington or Sheboygan, and we have oonsequently to wait for a full list of those lost by the burniag of the Niagara. Dated, we may not get it at all, as the pamenger list wee burned on board the boat. In another despatch it is said : The Niagara took fire four miles from Port Washington. Is a short time she was consumed and sunk. The light wu men from here at 7 p.m. The steamer Traveller, bound here, went to tke assistance of the burning boat. Her captain and officers exerted themselves to the utmost to save the lives of thou on board the burning boat.

Commodore Armstrong, commanding the United States naval forces in the East India end Chinese seas, has transmitted to his government the corre spondence between himself and the governor of Hong Bong, Sir John Bowriog, in relation to the seizure of John A. Filippo; (on board the American barque Annie Buckman, of which he was an officer) by a British police force. It appears from the official despatch that as soon as Commodore Armstrong be came aware of the proceedings above referred to, he earnestly protested against them, asserting the doe trine that the United States consul had authority is that and all similar cases, and likewise complained of the discourteous treatment to which Consul Keenan was subjected, owing to his intervention in behalf of Mr. Phipps. To this commanicatioa the governor replied, claiming that Hong• Kong being a British possession, the atthoritiea thereof were folly warranted in their acts, and entering into a recapitulation of certain points of international law in justification. Having failed to settle the points involved, the American Commodore and the British Governor have referred the matter in issue to their respective governments for a solution. TIM INDIA MAIL.

She left Alexandria out the 25th alt Letters from Austrian officers in the Principalities give anything but a pleating sketch of their experience. Thy are shunned by all the respectable ichabitaste, ecd the greater number appear to have no other solace than gambling. Le Nerd says that the Grand Duke of Tusoany "complains of the crowd of Boglish tourists who invade his state, and who pat themselves in communication with the nrolatiooary chiefs, thereby encouraging agitation." Tux LATE INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE.—The Jour. Pia d'lndre et Lone unit the following details of ohs works which have been exicuted to protect Tenn from the clearers of a fresh inundation On the quays of the Loire, from the basin of the Bellaire Ste. Aline, a wall of solid masonry bee been built, about one metre above the level of the rise of the 4th June hit. This wall will be completed in a few days, and will be heed strengthened by an embankment five metres wide, to form a footpath, which will enable It to resist the violence of the river at its roughest period. On the banks of the Cher works are also ping on with the greatest rapidity. An embankment of earth has been formed from the Rue Ste. Anne to tie Lock of Rochepinard, one metre highes then the highest paint attained by the river et the last in undatios, and this work will be hereafter heiatitased and widened, so as to form what, aceordiog to ell human fore sight, may be ceaeidered en imputable dylv. The banks of the canal have abo been considerably raised. The bridge, which was carried away by the last foundation. is In emote of reeonstruction, and the foundations already appear above water." RAILWAYS IN PIEDMONT.—The resolution of the shareholders of the Novara Railway, at their meeting eit the 3rd instant, to ratify the amalgamation with the Victor Emmanuel, was almost unanimous, as might have been expected; 2,867 toms, representing 18,158 shares, being la f of it, sad only 38 votes, with 42.4 shares, against it. The projected railway tram Turin to the port of Savona is now very much talked about, and is recommended by its promoters as the most direct and epredy communication between the metropolis and the Mediterrasean Sas. The harbour is said to be spacious, well sheltered, and deep enough for the largest ships. Statistics have been published to show that the annual amount of goods carried from the port of Savona to the interior of Piedmont is already not less than 39,918 tons, with • value of 4,103,610 francs, and the quantity of merchandise sent from the interior to the poet Weise considerable, so that a profitable goods traffic le expected. The people of Nice, at the other extremity ad the smut, antleipate much hearth from the proposed lien between Nies and Cello,. which will connect them with Turin. A junction at Mondovi will connect the Nies line with the Savona Ilse, and there Is to be a breach from the . latter to Asti. These enterprises are interesting, es they show the practical energy of the Piedmontese, and promise that their country will before long stand second to none hit,, Europe for the facilities with which it is furnished to deve lop its iadeetrial resesreee. f ;
