I believe thi4 . will not lhel wanting when the time shall bee adged ripe. A sketch has already appeared of a manifesto said to be now in the possession of the prince's friends in Paris, who have carte blanche to make it public when they may see fit. • In this manifesto the prince will allude to the conduct of himself and the Dabs I d'Aumale immediately after the revolution QC ,February, when they were at the head al a fleet, and of an army of 100,000 men,--1 a force quite sufficient to attempt the re establish. ' ment of the throne ; but which they unhesitatingly placed at the disposal of the provisional government, out of their respect fur the national sovereignty. It is well known that the Prince de Joinvil e often dis sented from Louis Philippe's policy, and it is believed that, consistently with the delicacy due to the me nu-ire of a father, he will adroitly claim the benefit of the political opinions of his youth. In the month of July, Paris was visited by 8,380 foreigner-, besides those who came for a shisrt time by pleasure trains. Of this number there were 2,516 English, 828 Americans, :737 Spaniards, 417 Italians, 393 Germans, 219 Austrians, 76 Badese, 131 Ba varians, 636 Belgians, 28 Bohemians, 9 Brazilians, 6 Africans, 81 Danes, 136 Scotch, 116 Irish, 1 Egyp tian, :13 Greeks, 12 Haitians. 26 Hanoverian", itti Dutch, 4'4 Hungarians, 30 Neapolitans. 42 Nor wegians, 189 Piedmontese, 114 Poles, 64 Portuguese, 350 Primal's, 209 Russians, 81 Sardinians, 118 Savovardo, 70 Saxons, 6- Swedes, 442 Swiss, 72 Turks, and 70 Wurtembergers.

SCNDAY Evexixo. For several days past it has been whispered that M. Delamarre, the honker, and the chief proprietor of the Patric, was laboriously preparing an article in which he would throw an entirely new light upon the great question of revision, and develops the' practical details of a plan for reconciling the hopes of the Elysean revisionists with the strictest ob servance of legality and the constitution. The semi- ()tibial character of the Patric, and the known zeal of M. Delamarre in the service of the }desk., have caused the advent of this article to be looke7d forward to with very great curiosity. The article has now appeared, and so far forth as furnishing matter for newspaper controversy it will doubtless not fall short of the effect anticipated. It treats of the most momentous questions of the day in a confident, bold, novel, but, I must add, ridiculous manner, which would indeed be important if it could be supposed to speak as the precursor of a preiect seriously con ceived by the executive power. For the credit of the government, however. it is to be hoped that M. Delnmarre is perfect lc candid in the earnest assurances which he ;,-Les that they are not responsible for the product of his own proeanid and independent medi tations. 11e protests that he is under no obligations to any of the men now in any way whatever at the headof affitirs, whilst MI the contrary the govern ment has twelves' signal services from him. He declares—and it may lie worth while to notice the precise words of this declaration, which are in italics in the original -that the ideas which lie now pub , fishes have not layn communicated by him to any MIIII I I4I . yr the yorrmard. M. Immure starts from this pustulate —that, in spite of all efforts to break the phalanx of the legal minority of 275, they will remain inflexible, and that the revision will be no farther advanced in November next than it was ut the end of the recent debate. The next link in the chain of his reasoning is that the constitution is impracticable, to enforce which he uses at great length the urguments which are now familiar. To show the necessity that a solution of the difficulty should lie found, he enters into widely discursive con siderations. founded upon the population of England, Austria, and Russia, as compared with France, and upon the state of education in Prussia. After having stated the general and permanent objections to the constitution, he alludes to the specific inconvenience and danger which would ensue in 14432, if the con . stitutioind regulations for electing a new assembly end a new president were to be strictly fol lowed. The powers of Louis Napoleon will ex pire on the second Sunday in May, and on the same day a new president will be elected. But this new president cannot exercise his functions until the Assembly shall have scrutinised the votes, and declared him duly elected. Some days must neces sarily elapse before the returns could be received from all parts of France, and during that time their would be an interregnum in the presidency. The only power in the state would be an expiring Assembly, whose own existence would expire on May 28th. This dying Assembly would have to struggle with the difficulty of Louis Napoleon unconstitutionally elected by an ininiense majority--a premise which SL. Dela marry takes to be indisputable—and, further, sup posing them to dime the election of Louis Napoleon invalid, they would be reduced to the alternative of adopting a socialist president, or of provoking a re volution, by selecting one front among the candidates lower dour on the poll. For M. Delamarre assumes that, next to Louis Napoleon, a socialist would have the. most votes, though not the two millions of votes which would relieve the Assembly from the duty of a selection. M Ihlamarre dues not feel free to speak his whole mind as to the consequences that would ensue front this state of things ; hr contents 1 elf with ravening that some thing would take place which would be a fatal blow to liberty. It is. I believe., correctly stated, that owing to a lamentable ni o.s etaisses in the constitu tion, the interregnum in the liresidency above men tioned must take place. But, incredible as it may appear, the legal remedy for the evil which M. 1)e -''enemy has discovered and brought forward with so much parade, is no remedy at all; for, supposing it adopted. Louis Napoleon would still be ineligible— his powers would still expire on the second Sunday in May, 1552, and there. would still necessarily be an interval of some days before the election of his successor could,be verified. The main feature of the great scheme is, that the elections for the next As sembly should take place at the beginning of De eember next. "Take place," is the expression used, although it subsequently appears that the elections are to last six weeks. 'ln order to prevent the dis franchised of the law of the 31st of May from coming to the poll, it is proteeed to divide France into mili tary districts. in such a manner that the elections m .• ight be in every case under the superintending care of an imposing military force. Then, the freedom of election being thus secured, in order that the result might be the full expression of the nation's will, every elector is to be compelled to vote, under a p ena lty o f to/. This is really the whole plan. Be. fore alluding to the many extraordinary come quenevs which M. lkiarnarre expects to flow from it, let us examine the plan itself. The Assembly to Ibe elected in December could not sit till the 29th of IMay. Till then it would be not only powerless, but it would have no corporate existence. It is obvious that the want of moral power which is felt by all elective assemblies after a certain time, when it begins to be' doubtful whether the opinions of their constituents may not have changed. would be objected to such an Assembly from the first hour of its assem bling. Weighty reasons should be given for pro voking . such nu objection by the unprecedented course of electuiF a legislature six months before they enter upon their functions. It may be admitted that the excitement of nearly simultaneous elections of an Assembly and of a president would be thus avoided ; but so it might equally be if the elections were fixed for February r March. A minor reason of M. Delamarre's is, the people having been disturbed in their usual oc cupations by the elections of the Assembly, would be tired, and would not leave their homes again after so short an interval as 43 days, to vote for the Pre *dent. This, however, might have been provided br by his 10!. tine, without advancing the period of the Aectidns. But it is clear that in all other re spects the legal effect of the scheme is altogether nu gatory. Whether the next Assembly shall be elected six months, or six weeks, or six days before the ex piration of the mandate of the . present one, their powers and duties, and the relation in which they stand to the President, remain precisely the same. What, then, arc the benefits that M. Delaanarre fumes? Tho that hi, that the present state of un- TILE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1851 certainty which weighs upon the public mind would ; be removed; that, inasmuch as the new elections would be made to the rallying cry of re vision, the opinion of the country would be knbwn beyond contradiction as soon as the elections were over.' It might be thought 'that' it • being so important to know the real opinion of the I country that such extraordinary measures were to be taken to ascertain a religious adherence to that lopinion whatever it might be d would be one of the benefits held out. But this is not so at all. If it should turn out that a socialist majority should I elected, the great advantage. sacs M.:Delamarre, would be this, that if the state of public opinion is such that the socialists triumph in 1831, it is clear that they would have been still more successful in 11842. It will be highly advantageous to know the painful truth now, because the President and the Assembly can then come to an understanding and take the necessary measures fur the safety of society. Having still six months of power before them, they would be able to venture on a bolder course than they could do in the last moments of their existence. What this course would be M. Delamarre thinks it better not now to say. But this is evident, that Ihe gravely proposes that France should be t asked by the government to proceed, under the unheard of conditions of compulsory voting and military supervision, to elect an assembly six months . before it is wanted, upon these terms, that if the • elections please the present government the Assembly is to sit hereafter as a sovereign legislature, but if the elections shall not be pleasing. the government will consider how best to prevent them from having I effect. M. Delamarrc indulges in various subsidiary con jectures of possible consequences, leading to the re election of the President, without any of those strong measures at which he only darkly hints. If, he says, a socialist assembly were to be elected, the prevent assembly would be so frightened that perchance they would, after all, vote the revision by the legal majority. Ile forgets that after De cember this would be impossible, because there would not remain time enough for the three readings and the legal intervals required by the constitution. But. suppose this little difficulty got over, the objection occurs at once that the people, who, upon the hypothesis, would have elected a socialist Assembly, would pro bably send a socialist constituent assembly to revise the constitution in a socialist sense. But M. Dela mom foresees this objection, and ingeniously answers it by saying that the terror which he has assumed would have been experienced by the present Assembly, would so communicate itself to the people that a =- action would take place, and they would certainly elect a majority of the party of order the next time. Again, supposing, as M. I Wlatnarre has every reason to hope, that the elections which lie proposes in December should turn out Elysean, even the Moun tain might then be brought to vote for revision, in order to curry favour with the people, and secure their re-election as members of a constituent. Such is the wonderful optimism with which M. lielamarre looks forward to all eventualities. I will only add that the Bulletin de farts of this evening treats the letter as a most important political event, and ad heres to it most warmly. GERMANY. Nothwitlotanding the protests of France and England against Austria's desire to incorporate her non-German states, and in spite of ltussids views. as • stated in the letter of our Frankfort corre spondent, it is stated, in letters from Vienna, that Prince Schwarzenherg has addressed a new circular to the two first-named powers, asserting more for cibly than before Austrias right to the step in con templation, and the right which the Confederation possesses to refuse all foreign intercession. The Austrian loan is decidedly to be issued in paper. FRANKFORT-ON IllE-MAINE, Aro. 21. at is nut exactly correct that the Emperor of Rus sia haiiintimated his intention of joining the English and French governments in their protest against the incorporation of the non-German provinces of Aus tria. 'rho Czar has merely caused a despatch to be addressed to the cabinets of Berlin and Vienna, in which he requests that the question may not be dis posed of without due deliberation, and that proper attention be paid to what he considers a justifiable intervention on the part of the English and French governments. The motive of the Emperor of all the Russias in thus taking part against his imperial ally can be discovered without much search. Ito fears that the Austrian centralbuttion plans will, if at all successful, render the government of that em pire so powerful, that it will no longer need the assistance of Russian bayonets to maintain itself, and will, moreover, add so overwhelmingly to the power of Austria in Germany, that Russia must lose all the advantages which she has acquired by hold ing the balance so long between two nearly equally strong powers, and will be compelled to side with the weaker. I have received fresh confirmation of what has been previously reported respecting the evacuation of Holstein by the federal troops. The cabinet at Berlin has sanctioned the proposal of Prince Schwar zenberg, that the Austrians shall remain until ac ceptable proposals respecting the administration of the affairs of the duchy shall have been made by the Danish government. I am assured that what the Austrian premier considers to be " acceptable pro posals. have already been made, and that when some minor points shall have been settled the troops will be withdrawn, and Holstein abandoned to the mercy of the I lanish government. The nature of tlwse accept able proposals has remaincda secret as yet. Only a por tion of the Austrian troops are to be withdrawn from the north; the rest will remain in Hamburg and Lubeck, the consent of the Prussian government having been obtained by a skilful employment of the biedwar of revolution. Both these free towns are said to be the head-quarters of the most influential 'of the German revolutionary party, who are said to be working with greater effort than ever before to ruin the existing governments and overturn monar chical institutions. A federal resolution will be pro cured here, to sanction the continued occupation of Hamburg and Lubeck; and it need not be doubted that the protests of the senates of these cities will be rejected, and the occupation defended as necessary on military grounds. ith such an example before their eyes, the petty sovereigns of Germany must be exceeding careful to avoid giving offence to Austria and Prussia, or to the Diet. The Danish government, the Preitssisehe Zeitung says, has sent a secretary of legation, M. Ilageman, to Vienna, to pear that the Austrian troops may be withdrawn from holstein. The answer of Prince Schwarzenberg is—that the matter does not belong to the Austrian government, but to the Diet, so that the secretary may go home with a flea in his ear. VIENNA, Aro. 15. The evacuation of the Danubian provinces by Rus sia-41 fact which has scarcely been noticed by the foreign press—shows clearly enough that Russia has no intention, or rather no power, to invade Turkey, and theretore she withdrew as soon as the Porte claimed the evacuation, though the last treaty gave her the right of intervention in Moldo-Wallachia for the whole period of seven years. The Wallachs, as well as the Serviaus, are now entirely anti-Russian ; and the Turkish army is at least as well organised and surely better fed than the Russian soldiers. Turkey has nothing to fear from external foes; but the intrigues of European diplomacy can destroy her power by insidious advice, and continual meddling with the affairs of the realm. Whilst writing this letter, I get the news that Countess Blanca Teleki, the sister of Madame Galindo, has been sentenced by court-martial, and condemned to eight years imprisonment, for political offence.

CIIARGE OF FRAUD AND CONSPIRXCT AT BRIGHTON. —On Saturday, at one o'clock, this case again came before the Brighton magistrates for bail on the part of the prisoner Broome. Mr. Sill, of 2, Tavistock-row, the solicitor for the prosecution, said that he had received notice that Mr. ILenry Biugham, of 19, Ityder's-court, Leicester-square, and of Priucess-place, Wandsworth, auctioneer ; and Mr. Hart, of 81, Regent-street, tailor, would be proposed as bail on the part of the prisoner Broome. Hehad, however, received a communication from Mr. Lewis, the attorney fur the prisoner, that Mr. Bingham was not in attendance; and that Mr. Hart, though in attendance, would not be proposed. Mr. Lewis, however, had proposed that Mr. M'Laren, of whom previous notice had been given on Thursday last, should, with himself, become bail for Broome. No exception could be taken to the bail of Mr. Id•Laren, and he could not venture to suggest any reason why Mr. Lewis should not be accepted. The Chairman (Mr. P. Carpenter) thought that Mr. Sill had acted with sound discretion in the matter. Bail had been proposed which ought not to have been proposed, and upon full in. quiry, after due notice, that bail had bean rejected. Bail was now proposed, which was admitted to be without ob jection, and to which, according to the official reports sub ' mitted to the bench, no objection could with fairness be taken, and, therefore, the proposed bail would be accepted. Mr. M'Laren and Mr. Lewis having entered into the re - recognisance', an officer was despatched to Lewes DEPARTURE OW THE ROYAL MAIL SVEammt with the necessary ticket to the governor of Lewes gaol, AMEKICL.—On Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, the upon receipt of which the prisoner Broome would be re- America, Capt.

Stone, arrived in the Mersey, having left New York at noon, on the 13th inst. She brought the usual mails from the United States and British America, with 74,0001. sterling in specie, 6:1 passengers, and a good cargo of merchan dise. Since the departure of the last steamer the following steamships had arrived at New York from I Europe : The U. S. Mail steamship Arctic, front Liverpool, arrived on Monday morning (Aug. 11), about 7 o'clock, having made the passage in 11 days and IS hours. The Royal Mail steamship Africa, from Liverpool, arrived on Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 12), about 6 o'clock, having made the pa,sage in 11l days and 5 hoar:. The U. S. mail steamship Humboldt, from I lavre. arrived on Tuesday (Aug. 12) evening, at half-past S o'clock, having made the passage in about thirteen days and a halt: The news brought by the Niag ara, althou g h six ! days later than that previously received by th::. America, is not of political importance, the chief topics of interest being still the affiths of Cuba and California. There have been two arrivals from Cuba at New York since the sailing of the last steamer for Europe. The bark Nacoochee, which sailed from ! Neuvitas, Calm, on the 25th ult., and the steamship ! Georgia, which left Charges on the 27th ult., and! Havannah on the 2nd inst. Great excitement existed in Havaneah at the time the Georgia sailed, owing to the reception of the news of the meetings held by the citizens of New Orleans in favour of liberty and independence. It was rumored that armed forces were gathering in the Florida Reef , and that part of the fleet had be en' despatched in that quarter. The government paper had been printed two days, and it is said to have contained some exciting news from the interior, but its issue was prohibited until after the departure of the American stoners. Several executions had taken place, and, but for the refusal of the regiments to fire on the condemned, there would have been more. Many of the troops lately arrived from Spain have died from exposure, being unable to stand the climate. There was a report that an insurrection had been attempted in Matanzas. land troops had been ordered to march to that quar ter. The result had not been heard when the Georgia sailed. The New nrk Herald has the following, which shows how little reliance is to be placed on any accounts yet received : • The Cubans assure us that the news which they have received directly front the field of battle, from their own friends, may be relied on as correct. The Cubans assert, lik ewise, that the government accounts, as published in the Ilavannah papers, are utterly false, and that their very falsehoods confirms in several important instances the news now received from the patriots. The news from the patriots informs us that at several other import-nit points than last adviees, prowenei , ernenbs had taken place, and the insurgents were in the field. The government announce, 031 the contrary, that all the rebels had been taken or shot, and that the utmost quiet prevailed in all parts of the island, the insurrection luring been entirely broken up. At the same time, when they say that all is quiet, they publish official despatches front Principe, Las Tunas, Sibanieu, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Villa Clara, and Santo Espiritu, stating that all those places are infested by rebel guerillas. The above-named places comprise all the chief towns, from one end of the Central Department to the other, in length 500 miles, rind embracing full one third of the island of Cuba. From the government, there fore, it 1%11 be seen that the revolution is very general. It appears (says the Hm ebl) that an engagement took place on the 25th of last month, the result of which has been favourable to the insurgents. More over, it is stated that the revolutionists, in one dis trict, numbered two thousand foot and six hundred horse; and this fact, if it is really one, shows that the force of the insurgents is much more extensive than has been anticipated. Besides, the movements at Trinidad arc of a character to excite attention, and add to the belief that the demonstration on the part of the Cubans is becoming general throughout the island. Some documents have come directly from the revolutionary party ; and one in the form of a journal appears to be a plain, unvarnished history of the movement front its earliest hour to the last moment. Should any considerable show of aid from the United States appear upon the coast of Cuba, or any force succeed in landing (says the Herald), the dis affected Cubans, however small in numbers, will gain confidence in their hopes, and may renew their in cipient struggles with some effect. Yet the power of the government is strong enough to put down any slight farce, such a .9 the government journals assure us forms the opposition, and the insurgents will have to tight with desperate courage and determination, or entrench themselves in the fastnesses of the moun tains for security. From California we have fourteen days later news by the arrival of the steam-ship Prometheus, with navices and passenger+, via the Nicaragua route, considerably over half a million of gold dust, and 360 passengers. The l'aeitic has also 800,000 dollars on board. The Prometheus left San Juan on Monday, the 4th inst., at 11 o'clock, a.m., and arrived at New York at 5 o'clock on the morning of the 13th,bringing the passengers of the steamer Pacific, which left San Francisco on the 11th ult., and arrived at San Juan del Sud on the 29th ult. The passengers who came across the Nicaragua route had first fifteen miles of hind carriage ; they then took the steamer Director across Lake Nicaragua, and then in the new iron steamer Sir Henry Bulwer down the San Juan river to the Prometheus in thirty-two hours running time. They all express themselves highly pleased with the route, and say that the country is delightful and quite healthy.

In consequence of the cholera having appeared at Oran and Melilla, the local boards of health at Malaga and Algeciras had threatened Gibraltar with quarantine; but the matter having been referred to 'Madrid, it was expected to be more satisfactorily ar- ranged. On running down between Cape Espechel and St. Vincent, (when running over 10 knots) the Madrid struck a huge whale, attempting to cross her bows ; the shock was considerable, being distinctly felt all over the ship, causing much alarm. About 30 feet of him appeared above water, and the tish was evi dently much injured by the sharpness of the Madrid's iron stem. Our correspondent writes : LISBON, Avatar 19. I informed you cursorily in my last letter that the sergeants implicated in attempting to raise the sth Car;adores, on the night of the 11th ultimo, had been set at liberty. This, doubtless, would be considered an unaccountable proceeding, m e ter my having ac quainted you that a court had been appointed to in vestigate their conduct. The fact is, that too much was proved before the court. It appears that, had the plan succeeded, the first colonel (now a general), who seconded ttzaldanha's movement in April, was to have put hims4.4f at the head of it; rockets (the usual signal) were to have been tired from the castle, and a union of all the Cabralista battalions effected; in the meantime, Senhor Josi Cabral's party were to have walked into the castle and sat themselves down at a table, and there assumed a title somewhat like " a provisional government on behalf of the Queen." The thing failed, as you know. Upon the appoint ment of the court of investigation, shooting was talked of, and the press really began to deprecate capital punishment ; but now neither shooting nor hanging are thought of, its Saldauha finds he cannot shoot his own second in command for doing that which he himself did, and therefore the general, now a baron, goes to Austria, France, Prussia, in fine to the various continental states, to study their military evolutions, upon an allowance of 200 milreis (about 431.) per month. The Cabralites do not, however, consider themselves effectually foiled, but only re-' tarded in their plan. 1 was about to say that there was neareAy a regiment in the service that has not a' club of sergeants and others in it pledged to restore Cabralism, but I will make no exception, it cannot Ix' concealed: the grand object is to prevent the • formation of the electoral lists, which will embrace each a liberally extended franchise that the Ca brollies will have no chance of regaining rule. There is, however, a wide field open for intrigue yet before the elections, and it is impossible to give a decided opinion as the complexion of attars changes from day to day. It is pertinaciously insisted upon that six officers and six sergeants who were the most ac tive in stopping the rising in the castle have bees removed to other corps. This certainly would make it appear that Saldanha is sick of governing. Silva Cabral takes advantage of every passing event to en deavour to regain that position front which he has been ousted once, and his brother twice. lie has put forth a circular, as if he were actually in the exercise of the functions of the Interior, as follow.:: Sir,—Sisica last April events have occurred which have eausisl a continual variation in politics. The moderate CarliAa party, who ought to hope to see at once solidly planted in this unhappy country the system of justice, morality, and tolerance, cannot flatter themselves that their hopes are likely to be realised, seeing the turn public atfairs have taken, and how independent and honest characters of the moderate party have been treated, Iseimt fur the most pert supplanted by individuals of c.raftado ho have spread terror and persetution among ri'enclt, . people. It being the principle of the Carlista party not to depart from the rival of legality, and the time having arrived which calls them to ma'ee that principle triumph ut the poll, the central electoral Carlista party of the kingdom and island consider it their duty and obligation to address itself to all those who profess the Sallie principles to solicit the it loyal, frank, and autism co-operation. It is in this serve, and as President of the Centre, that I have the honour to address you, whose sentiments of order are so well known, for the purpose of asking your immediate valuable aid and sincere co-opera tion in support of the throne and the charter, against the factious attempts and dangerous tendencies of the extreme party, confident that from your tried loyalty you will com ply with this request, seeing with what danger the public welfare is threatened if all the friends of order shall ant Casten to put themselves in motion and unite to preserve it.

Connected with the disorganised state of Portugal, report has been industriously spread that lion Miguel was invited by the Emperors of Russia and Austria to a consultation on the best means for his restoration, seeing that Donna Maria does not know how to give that countenance to a ministry of order which it behoves at all times the sovereign of a country to see established, and that, therefore, those sovereigns are desirous of knowing the sentiments of the Portuguese exile on the subject. I do not credit this report. I mentioned in my last Senhor Ferro.o's plan of raising money by anticipation. This is considered only another of those prolific plans of Cabrnlism which has had so bad an effect in cramping the re sources of the country. Senhor Ferrite has, how ever, ordered payment to be made for the month of May, 1930, to the six departments of the govern ment and six other departments—one-fourth in notes of the Bank of Lisbon, one-fourth in notes created by decree (the paper money in question), and the remaining half in cash. The former mi nister would have ordered the first payment for May immediately after the 4th instant; but the present one has delayed 14 days. which is not a favourable sign. Instead, therefore, of arrears being brought up, the prospect is they will continue, on the Cabrulite system of gradual increase. A treaty of commerce and navigation has been ex clanged between Russia and Portugal.

The revenue of the kingdom, though small, is adequate to the wants of the administration, and leaves a surplus for public improvements.

Late on Saturday evening her Majesty's pleasure respecting the arrangements of the royal journey northward which is Axed fur Wednesday next, was signified to the gent ad manager of the Great Northern railway. The ori ginal intention of her Majesty, as has already been stated, was to proceed direct from Nine Elms station to King's Cross, and there partake of a thjelmer before renewing the journey. With this view the directors of the Great Northern had commenced the erection and decoration of a suite of apartments for the use of her Majesty. The rem municat hal of Saturday evening has, however, consider city modified these arrangements. Its substance was, that in stead of taking luncheon at the terminus of the Great Nor. them railway, her Majesty, on reaching the Nine Elms sta tion of the South Western railway, wiil proceed to Buck ingham naive, where she will first partake of rare-hue at and then proceed to the Great Nurtueen railway, arriving at the platform at two o'clock, the original time mpointed for her departure. In consequence of these alterations, the works in refer. ens to the preparation of the :ipartmente for the r..c l ni,,n of her Majesty, on arriving at the Kinit's-eroas station, have been counterinanded ; and there can lie no doubt the route to the station as originally intended will, in camas Toltec of the Queen going to Buckingham Palace, he entire Iv altered also. Her Majesty will pass up Maiden-lane from King's cross, and enter the station at the fourth gate, and at once enter the royal saloon carriage, which will ho in readiness to receive her. The royal train will consist of twelve carriages, namely, three ordinary new first-class carriages; the three roveal saloons, one for her Majesty and royal consort, another for his ltoyal Highness the Plume of Wales, and the third for the royal suite; two break vans and four carriage trucks, for the conveyance of the luggage of the royal party and suite. The Queen's carriage will be surmounted by a splendid silk royal standard, four feet six lev two feet, it having been ascertained that all the bridges aid tunnels on the line will enable them to carry a flag of such dimensions and leave tint or five inches to spare. Thu train will he preceded by a pilot engine for greater security, and will be drawn by en entirely new and powerful engine, driven by Mr. Sturrock, the locomotive superintendent. The royal carriages at present remain at the establish ment of Mr. Williams, the railway coach builder in the Gray's-inn-road; but they will he removed at au early hour this morning to the line, the directors having resolved to take them down on Monday on a trial tribas far as Peter borough. The royal saloon carriages are quite in keeping eternally with those of the ordinary first-class carriages of the line, being all constructed of teals wood. The length of the royal saloon carriage is In feet 6 inches be 7 feet R inches in wield'. It is lined with white brocaded silk of Indian ma nufacture with raised scarlet flowers. The whole of the furniture, as well as the retiring-room attached to the saloon, is of walnut-tree wood, the chairs and ottomans bring covered with the same material as the lining of the, carriage. The carriage is lighted from a lantern, with a powerful reflector over the retiring-room, and on the oppo site side of the salami is a magnificent mirror, reflecting the light back again, giving the apartment, for that the carriage really it, a moat brilliant and elegant .ippearance. The only exterior distinction is a broad gold moulding round the carriage, with a splendidly gilt crown and coat of arms over each door-way, and the panels painted with the armorial insignia of the bath and Garter. The Prince of Wales's saloon and retiring, room is of equal dimensions, and equally elegant, with the exception that the lining is pure white brocaded silk, instead of leav ing any coloured &wen, and the saloon for the royal suite is very similar. It may be observed, however, that the cur tains are of beautiful green sick, affixed to gilt rods, and the salons arc fitted with wine-coolers, chiffounie.rea, grouches, &c., and all the appurtenances of an elegantly furnishej. apartment. Her Majesty will be received at tltu station in Maiden lane, which will he decorated with emblematical devices in evergreens, dahlias, and °Our Howers suitable to the or ca tion, by Mr. Denison, M.l'., the chairman of the company, together with the director ', Mr. Lewis Cahill, the engineer, Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, and Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general manager. The directors have given orders for the erection of a gal levy on the platform to which two or three hundred ladies and gentlemen will have the privilege of entrk by ticket only ; and the ottleem of the company are to have the pri vilege of ranging themselves on the opposite side of the station. In order to prevent delay, accident, or inconvenience throughout the royal progres,, the directors of the railway haw issued special written instructions to be in use on Wednesday.

Two MEN KILLED NE•lt LEEDS.—A most melan choly occurrence took place last Monday, at the works now in progress ut liarewood, for the purpose of supplying the town of Leeds with water from the river Wharte. It ap pears that Mr. James Bray, the contractor for the works, had erected a scaffolding about 20ft. high, to support a set ting crane on a moveable beam. The stoneworks necessary fur the building of the foundation of the forcing-pump was sub-let to Joseph and Thomas Wilson. An inlet or excava. tion from the river to the building was in the course of being dug below the bottom of one of the props of the scaffolding. The prop had originally been let about three feet three inches into the ground, but one side of it was bared by the excavation on the edge of which it rested. The beams along the top of the scaffolding had become un even, and Thomas Wilson was told that they should be re paired before any more large stones were lifted, and about half-past one o'clock he was ordered by Mr. Bray not to use the crane until the prop near the excavation was shored up. Mr. Bray's manager had, before dinner, directed a car penter to get the prop removed, but the direction was un fortunate) neglected. About half-past two o'clock, Thomas Wilson, with another man, was guiding a stone weighing upwards of a ton, which was being car ried by the travelling beam to its place, when suudoily the weight caused the gravel forming the foundation of the prop to slip, and snapped a beam asunder, letting down one end of the travelling beam. The foot-board of the travelling beam fill against a mechanic, named William Jackson, who was fixing a barrel to the pump. His right shoulder was jambe,' against the barrel, but he was re leased is about four minutes by means of a screw-jack. He, however, died in a very few minutes afterwards. A labourer, named Norman Walker, was near the crab on the travelling beam, and was thrown to the ground, receiving compound fractures of his right elbow, his left thigh, and the bones of the pelvis. lie was carried to liarewood Bridge, but died about ten o'clock the same evening. Jackson was 47 years of age, and Walker was 21. Two other men were on the travelling beam, but one jumped off, and the other was much injured by the falling. The above circumstances were proved at the inquest held on Tuesday last, before Mr. Thomas Taylor, deputy coroner, and respectable urg, and a verdict of manslaughter, in each case, was returned against Thomas Wilson; and the jury added that they considered that Mr. Bray and his smarm tendent were highly blameable in not seeing their orders for the repairs of the scaffolding carried out for the butter protection of the workmen.-IVdkefield Journal.
