No. itwomow-Nareit& ..... ft Or LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1. Trtz new feature in the intelligence from India is the movement which has begun to show itself among the Native Princes. On this head our intel ligence is as yet extremely meagre: barely sufficient to show that there is a movement of some kind in royals. The arrest of the King of DUDE is confirmed. Upon what charge he has been arrested is known only from conjecture; and common justice requires that we suspend our opinion until the evidence against him is published. Rumour—chiefly proceeding from native sources—attributee to him ear plicity in a plot to subvert the British sway in Bengal and Upper Indio, and restore the Munnlinen dynasties. It is said that to the titular Zing of Duel wee to have been allotted the North- West Territory ; to the King of DUDE, Lower Bengali to his brother, the hereditary possessions of the family I and some provinces to the Nawab of MOORMIEDABAD. All this, of COWIN', ill mere rumour; though no doubt, if any systematic plot has been at the bottom of the mutiny, the probability is that k proceeded from the Mahometan population, who wannot forget that before the English came they were the rulers of India. The position of the Rajah of OWALIOR C - . goarcely be called equivocal. The whole of hie army ki in open revolt against the English sozerainetk. True the Ruen has protected the European officers, and sent in all the European females ; but he remains with his soldier.. The Bengal army appears to be now little more I than a name. No confidence is placed in it. Except at Butane, however, the Sikh regiments have re mained faithful, and their religious antagonism to Braluninimi may be the means of keeping them so. The Ohoorkas too, notwithstanding the unlucky mis take at Simla, appear to be loyal. And it would be no dialeolg matter to organise trustworthy regiments, set only of Ilse* Obseeds, &c., but of Jets and salt kilos Si 'Ovoid metes.

Though Delhi is still =reduced, the Anglo- Indian Government appears to hold its own 'hemline. The telegraphic communication of Lackaow and Cawnpore with Calcutta has been re•estabiialed. Three steamers with troops bad reached Begiares, where the insurrection had been put down. In short, the work of restoring order hu been fairly began, and if the home pyres went and the local authorities in India are true to ibe•nrelres, British ascendancy will soon be re-es tablished. But the magnitude and the arduous cha racter of the task must not be overlooked if this end is to be attained. Government must act with ear wetness, energy, and promptitude. This is the allotted work of the day. When this has been accom plished, then it will be time to talk of the re organisation of our Indian government. k is pretty thoroughly understood by this time all over the kingdom that something rerious and alarming has happened to us as a nation, and that India is the scene of the calamity. The day-labourer, going home from his work, overhears the gentry in the road talking about the last and the next tele graphic menage as matters of strong excitement. Domestic servants tell in the kitchen what they have beard in the dining-room. The operative inquires whether there is a war which will lay on new taxes; and the cottager wants to know whether he or his NM are likely to be drawn for the Militia. Circulating library readers are trying to recall the books about India, novels or travels, which they found tiresome in the reading, because they were fall of add words—chummier, tiffin, tope, dak, and the like—which were sadly in the way of the story. Most people would be glad now of a deer familiar knowledge of what our Indian empire is, how we time to have anything to do with it, and what io the precise scope of the existing danger ; but where tan they learn this P In the former case of ana logous peril, eighty years ago, the state of the pub lic mind was quits unlike what we see it now.

Thu, when the collision gradually reached the crisis of a war, all intelligent Englishmen understood and felt the cue as well as, and not a few of them bettor then Government itself. Our hthens el all mob meisallinp were prenrelively user of the doefor et big es earl► owl d Hts pair born et vela lees. Theo might be, sad there week Misr emesa of opinion as te what ought to be dose, and what might be Impeded. but every educated person Law very well what the excitement was about, so id the nation's mind and heart entered into the beims, and became in the fullest sense a party to It. We should be very thankful to be able to may as much at the present hour, under the partial revolt of our great Eastern dependency. Bat we doubt—to speak the plain truth—whether more than a small minority of our people know how many Praideneies we have in India, or new stand the theory and hot of the double Government. or know why the inhabitants of India are not onr fellow-subjects in the same sense as the residents of Australia or Canada. The knowledge absolutely necessary for enabling society in general to think and feel as earnestly and strongly m the small Anglo-Indian section among us, is not to be had in • day ; and yet not a day must be lost in instituting action in which every citizen must be involved, and ought to be implicated intelligently and willingly. Measures mast be adopted, responsibilities incurred, ventures made, a stake played for—in sheet, a solemn crisis met, in which every citizen ought to participate, bat which not one in a hundred Is la any degree qualified even to have an opinion upon. The time is not distant when we may all take counsel how the prevalent ignorance may best be cured. But the most pressing consideration *what is beet to be done under the actual condition. The most effectual way in the world with us—the people of England—is an appeal to the morale of the human being, from the heart and the lips of some leader who is beyond all suspicion of that sentimenta lity which Joan Butt is apt to distrust. When Pam. proposed, amidst a wilderness of enemies, to take our finances in hand, and put an end to the annual deficit by the re-imposition of en income tax, he brought almost the whole nation round to him by his apt and sincere reference to the "alacrity of spirit" which is the first born and the noble offspring of adversity. lie gained much by his animating re ferences to the courage and patriotism of the preced ing generation at the time of the Nor, mutiny, the black aspect of the war, and precariousness of even our national existence ; but the true word of power was the mention of the " alacrity of spirit invoked by the pressure of difficulty. Strongly resembling this was the resolution of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, moved es an amendment on Mr. Bananas, on Monday night. The proposal to assure the Quer...4 of our sympathy and support to her Govern ment under the present crisis in India is wady what every English heart is sure to respond to. It is enough for our people to be assured that the Sovereign is anxious, and the Administration burthened with a great solicitude, to stir us all up to do what we can. Sympathy will generate inquiry— and inquiry will in time bring knowledge. Mean while, we have a most substantial material prosperity to proceed upon, in our efforts to rectify our affairs in Asia. We shall be willing to pay what is needful ; and we trust we may be wise in some points which are of more importance than voting money, and paying our taxes cheerfully. Every one of us may do something in discounte sawing party strife. We have no time for a war ef words, and no strength to waste in recrimina. tilos. AU grounds of blame or praise may be gone over by and by, and certainly will be when the hour has come for deciding on the future government of India in general and Bengal in pert/Arlan At pre sent, if party men will growl and challenge, let nobody heed them. The mischief done by the pose men daring the late war would have been weft worth noticing but for its effect abroad, and espe cially on our antagonist and neutral parties with hostile feelings. Than is not the same danger in the present case. Censors and satirists in Parlia ment or elsewhere can hardly produce any prae deal effect beyond oar own bounds. It may be true, or it may net, that Russia watches our Indies troubles with hope and exultation ; that our Mimi. des are a ne w stimulus to American ambition; anithat the European powers tell one another that oarpreedge is lowered by the events of the late war, and the threatening condition of our Eastern. territories. It is of little consequence whether our neighbours hold this view or another of our methods and our re morose, in comparison with the consideration whether we are adequate to the trial of the hour, and likely to make it ileac in good. If there are many among • who really take to heart, in the first place, our reputation for military skill and power in the v s ef states which are still under the military Ow et eivilisation, that sensitiveness may week to the one sod as a nobler quality, in inducing nark ktli• viimal to devote himself in any national esnergeneys Mt k would be a better thing to convince oureshas of re extent in which the national conscience, raiser than ambition—the national character, rather I than reputation—is involved in retaining oar Indian dominion, and improving to the high at point the quality of our rule. Wo need no stimulus from the comments of the world. Owe fully aware that upon us depends the place and progress of the main part of Asia, the advance of civilisation in a whole continent, and the welfare of a hundred millions of people, whom we to anonood from barbaric tyranny in all its varieties, nod engaged to sustain under higher conditions of aristence, we shall have little solicitude left for what the gazing world may say of us, and may com mit ourselves to the heroic enjoyment of doing what ever can be done, and enduring what cannot be (moped. It is a great hoar for all hearty Englishmen. We cannot all it a crisis, or an emergency, beams we do not believe that our Indian dominion is in dotter, or that we are unfurnished with the riesensle demanded by events. But an occasion whisk le neither a crisis nor an emergency may be a very anxious and a very solemn one ; and it is thus that we regard the present shock to our empire in Ben gal. It is no small matter that we are all remem bering at the same moment that the reign of a King, whom some of us have seen with our own eyes, will ever stand in history as that in which we lost can American colonies. It is no small matter that the reign of VICTORIA will stand in history as that se which our supremacy in India received its tint great shock; and it must quicken the throb of every sound heart among us to speculate on what the isms will be—what the event which will finally mark the present reign. As we have said, wo have no apprehension of the low of our great Dependency, or of any part of it. It such a thing were possible, it ought to be a subject of mourning to the entire human race. Short of that speculation, however, the problem is sufficiently grave. We must have much to suffer yet, in lass of life probably, and cer tainly in low of repose, confidence, and complacency. We may calmly trust that we can bear the suffering, and we know that it will pass away. The more importait matter is whether We can so retrieve ear errors, redeem the subject races from their dieaftee don, and regenerate the spirit and method at ear Indian rule, as to prove ourselves worthy at our high function of leading the civilisation of the wee* and making oar empire the nursing mother of the helpless end foundling tribes of humanity. This is our professed aim. To fulfil it under present cir cumstances we must all discipline ourselves and work. There must be no selfish strife of party—no peevish cavil—no canityof opinien—no despmdency. We need not add that there must h• no niggard temper in our offerings of sea sad money. We wish there was more knowledge among us t but at say rate let there be cheerful energy. " Alacrity of spirit" is within everybody's reach—to cherish in himself and infuse into others. All we a Parsonocracy ? Is the social life, is the domestic happiness or unhappiness of Englishmen and Englishwomen to be subjected to the fantastic scruples, the suddenly awakened conscience of the sacerdotal party in the English Church or the weaker brethren among the English clergy ? Are we to renounce that liberty which the Gospel sanc tionq which the Reformation ratified, which the vein of reason and the instincts of the human heart impentively claim, merely because a certain por tion of the Anglican clergy choose to claim a license of dissent, a disorderly defiance of law, which if cub milted to would at once ereate an imperistm in imperio, convert the English Constitution into a Theocracy, and set the protest of the Priest above the power of the Parliament? On all grounds we should be the very ant to deprecate, the last to sanction, any attempt to violate a really conscientious scruple. Show us even a prejudice that deserves respect, and unless the interest of the public clearly demanded its being dis regarded, we should be inclined to treat it with lenity and indulgence. But how stands the ease with this clerical objection to the Divorce Bill ? For the last two centuries, the clergy of the Established Church, as represented in Parliament by the Bench of Bishops, have quietly acquiesced in the enactment of a long suc cession of special laws, which have not only dis solved the marriage bond, but, by en express clause, enabled the divorced parties to re-marry. During the whole of that lengthened period has any one ever beard an objection on the part of the clergy to per form the ceremony of re-marriage according to the solemn rites of the Church? It is only when a general law is to be substituted for an exceptional law, when a privilege is be converted into • right, when the middle and lower classes are to be made participators in what has heretofore been confined to the wealthy and the noble—that the cry of profaned rites and violated consciences makes itself heard on the part of the Church. So long as the privilege of re-marriage after divorce was confined to those adulterers and adulterases who had coronets on their brows, long rent-rolls at their lawyers', or extensive balances at their bankers', the voice of the Church was mute. The dignified clergy blandly abstained from the ill-bred act of striking the clause of re-marriage out of the Divorce Bills sent up from the Commons ; their unm tred brethren celebrated without inquiry and without a murmur that ceremony which was to give the wronged millionaire, or the too facile Peeress, a chance of merging in a new union the memory of the past, and laying a founda tion for new hopes and an amended life in the future. It is only when a proposal is made to admit the vulgar to the privileges of the exclusive—to put Bloomsbury on a level with Belgravia—that the protest of the Anglican clergy rises into energy. Then they can discover that indissolubility—the canon of Rome— is the doctrine of the Gospel ; that the re-marriage of divorced parties is a sin ce ; and that to require such re-marriage at the hands of the English clergy is an The reply to all this nonsense and bigotry is really very short. In legal phrase the clergy are estopped from taking the objection they now urge. If the re-marriage to which they object is sinful, on the ground of being opposed to the text of the Gospel, it was no km sinful when authorised by a succession of spsist ads at the Legislature than when once for slassillmbsi bye gourd act. There is no magic in arils& Bill, there is no virtue in exceptional legisla tion. The Church which has ropeatedly solemnised the re-marriage of divorced parties, when provided for by special Acts, cannot now be allowed to object to their solemnisation when sanctioned by a general Act. On the same ground, the advocates of the Government measure may well hold themselves exempted from any necessity of descending into the arena of theological argu ment. The Bishops and the clergy have for feited their right to insist on the alleged prohibitions of Scripture, by the simple fact of their having over and over again set at nought the prohibitions by re peated solemnisation of these marriages, which, according to their present view, Scripture expressly forbids. Wo have a full right, therefore, to decline the unedifying controversy that has been raised on the discrepancy between the texts of ST. MATTHEW and his two co-Evangelists. To the plain sense, indeed, of every candid man, however moderately versed in the principles of criti cism, it must appear clear that the exception twice introduced into the text of ST. Msrrarw, "unless foe fornication," is infinitely more likely to have been omitted in the other two Gospels, than interpolated into his. But these are points which we do not feel called upon to discuss. The English Church, by an acquiescence of two centuries, has deprived herself of all right to take this higher ground of absolute scriptural prohibition ; and the opponents of the clergy betray a great want of perception as to the true bearings of the question at issue when they descend to the arena of exegetical polemics, and resume the abandoned weapons of theological strife. It is not by arguments like these that a question hire this is to be settled. The House, on the sewed reading of this Bill, has been asked to assent to no innovation—to no change of substantive law, only to a change of legal procedure. Whatever difference of opinion may be entertained on points of detail, the principle of this measure, which can alone be legitimately discussed on the second reading, is simple and clear. It makes no change in the grounds of divorce. The sole ground is adultery— the very ground which the Quarterly Review, after half-a-dozen pages of cloudy subtleties, admits to be most probably indicated by the litigated word wopete—as employed in the excepting clause in ST. MArrnrw. The only other principle of the Bill is that dissolution of marriage on this sole ground shall bit granted, as a matter of law, after a single trial in sus court, instead of being granted as a matter of *Asp after three trials in three courts. That is fir principle of the Bill, and it is in favour of this painelple that the Home of Commons last night re seeded its suffrages by a majority of 111. It now remain. for Government to press this Bill through committee with an earnestness proportioned to its careful preparation and its preponderating im parttime. Tl 4 LATE W. F. A. DELANE, Death has removed cue who has in his day played an important part in British journalism. • The late Mr. Delano hu for many years had no avowed con nexion with the newspaper prim, but the influential position he formerly filled in the management of the Times has made his name, as it were, a household word with English newspaper readers. In con ducting a London daily journal, tact, extensive knowledge of political and mercantile affairs. end business talent, are perhaps even more indispensable than literary talent. Though mums deficient in accomplishment and cul tivated taste, it wu for his services in the managing department that Mr. Delano was chiefly remarkable; and when we have added that the journal to which thes. services were rendered _ . . wee the limes, we need say no more. As Blucher called the arm, and Gnaisenau the head, of the Prussian army; so Delane and Sterling may be said to have been in their day the thought and the arti culate voice of the Times. Though Mr. Delano never stooped to win popularity, there was a frank ness and cordiality in his manner of transacting business that conciliated goodwill while it won ehteem. In his family circle he was deeply and tenderly beloved, and it was his fortunate lot to ex pire surrounded by its sorrowing attentions. Mr. l)elane died at the house of his son, near Norwich, on the 29th ult., in the G4th year of his age. THE. DIVORCE BILL. DIVISION LAST NIGHT.

I. muArrz, A vacancy has occurred in the representation of Birmingham by the death of one of its representatives, Mr. poor. Frederick Mentz, which event took place on Thurs day therm= at Umbralads, his seat in W a rwickshire, after • short but severe illness, which it has been known for the lath few days could not end otherwise then fatally. At the tinted his death he was in the sixty-fourth year of hie age. The deceased gentleman was the sen eta German merchant of high reepsetability, who settled in the town of Birming ham i s or about the year 1783. and married • Him Pardon of that town, where be himself wee bon in the latter part of the year 1794, and where be carried on fur many years the business of a merchant and metal roller. He evinced great skill In the practical application of metal to ship ping, and more especially was the inventor and Inimthicturer of potent yellow metal chip - sheathing and bolts, by i which he s understood to have ode a large for tone. He was a magistrate and deputrlieutenant for the county of Warwick. Ile wee also the first vice-chairman of the Political Union of Birmingham, and was one of its most active end strenuous supporters both in public and private. He was one of Its leaders at the time that tho Reform Bill was under discussion, and, in 1837, became the object of a ' prosecution far a riot which took place at a meeting fur the abolition of church rates. He was convicted upon the indict ment, but the proceedings were ultimately quashed on being carried before a higher tribunal, the judge (the late Mr. Justice J. Allan Park) sad the Omit of Queen's Bench being of opinion that they wen illegal, and that the prosecution ought never to have been instituted. Mr. blunts wan first returned to parliament by his fellow-townsmen of Birmingham in February, 1840, on the retirement of the late Mr. Thomas Attwood, of " cur rreeeerryy larne,when his opponent was the late Sir Charles Wetherell. He was again elected after the dissolutions of 1841, 1847 0 and 1852, and again without oppoeition in April last. The strong opinions which he hold upon the currency and other cognate question, of finance, commerce, and eco nomy, on which he wrote several Ws pamphlets, are too well known to need being recorded here. lie was a ra dical reformer of rather an advanoed school, and opposed more especially to the principle of church rates and religious endowments. His remarkable appearance in the Howe of Commons will be long held in remembrance , se will also the rough, term Anglo-Satin style of hie blunt but common-sense speeches on subjects that came within the range of his experience and peritonea knowledge. ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(TJIIS DAY.) DROGHEDA, The committee met at eleven o'clock this morning, when Richard Ha t rieLstated that be had been present at the electionis addressed the mob from the White Hone Hotel. Fa er Montague made a violent speech, and mid that Captain Moor was introduced by the here. ditary tesetaies of their religion, and their country._ He vehemently denounced those who voted against ilteann. A vigorous attack was then made upon Captain Moor's tally-room. and serious injury was done to it. Great vio knee was directed towards the supporters of Captain Moor on the nomination day. Mr. Rolm, the brother of Captain Moor's conducting agent, wee threatened with such vio lence on the day aucoeeding the nomination, that he applied to a magiarate to interfere. In his opinion it would been dangerous to vote for Capt. Moor. Mr. Moore, a dealer in dour, mid that the people sur rounded his house in such forte that he had to pay them to go away. On the day of nomination his customers were dragged away, and told not te buy the sonpela moat. His shop Ina obstructed till the Saturday, when ho went for the magistrate to interfere. Mr. Hammond was then examined, and stated that ke had beta Mayor of Drogheda in 1855. The violence of the mob was such as to oompel him to keep within his house. He rent to the stipendiary magistrate to my that Mr. Bro digan was threatened, and a skin g for protection. His Ike opinion was that Captain Moor's voters could not have voted with meaty. Cromemorained—He did not prove of his own knowledge that Mr. M'Cann polled more then half of the registered electors ; but he knew that many who promised to vote fur Captain Moor, voted for Mr. Dreamt. The evidence was proceeding when oar report left. • DUBLIN. The committee upon this petition met again this morning at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the evidence of the petitioner. A freeman named John Hamilton, who had been in the habit of receiving relief in Meath xtreet, was called. He stated that he had been in the habit of receiving soup tickets. A few days before the election he was waited upon by a person of the name of hewn, who had a conversation with him respecting his vote. Witness said he did not think that he should vote without having money for it, and Frewen replied that if any man could get him money for it he thought he could. After some further convereallon they parted on the understauding, as witness conceived, that if he voted for Vance and Orogen he was to have H. He accordingly voted fur those gentlemen, and after he had given the vote he had 6s. Next day he celled en Prevost, and asked for the money for his vote, when Frewen slapped his pocket hut did not tell him when he should have it. He had not had the money yet, and supposed now that he should not. He considered himself very ill-treated. (Laughter.) In erase: taimation byMr.O'Malley,thewitness said that the agents were very shabby people. He had bean completely taken in, rand every one knew it. The chairman asked him how he had been taken in, when he replied, because he did not get what he had expected and bargained for; end that if he had not met ! Pretreat, he should certainly have voted for the two other cendidates. Ile admitted that he was angry, because he had got no money, when he knew there was money going. By Mr. 0 Malley.—Frewen used not to give him a ticket for medicine, but for what he called soup, bat which was in fact nothing but salt and water. (Laughter . ) When he went to Frewen after the election to demand his money, he got in a passion with hi m, _ and told him to be off. He had been completely done. (Laughter.) ath The winless was then examined at conaiderable se to his general mode of living, when it ap that be aimed a few shillings • week by knitting stoc . He wee • very . old man and walked with crutches. Benienatu Rogera, a man in great poverty, and also • free man, gave eimilar testimony, with the exception that in this owe the name of Downes, another alleged agent, was subell tiled for Frewen. Some further evidence wen given, end the committee ad journed. The prootordings in thu election committee to-day were not at all interesting, the evidence called being chiefly ae to the former inaolvenciee of the sitting member, and a great deal of the time was occupied with the arguments of the counsel. MEETING OF ELECTORS AT YARNOLTTIL —On Thursday evening Mr. Welkin, who with Mr. M.Cullagh baa just born unseated by the election committee for Yar mouth, arrived in that town, and woe ereorted from the rail way station by a great number of his supporters. In the course of the day, Sir J. W. Hogg, formerly elmirman of the East India Company, visited the town, and waited on some of the leading elector. It is toxlemtood that Sir James intends to come forward ea a candidate in the conser vative total-et in conjunction with Sir B. Lwow. who repre sented the borough from 1862 to 1857. Mr. Watkin addreraed a large open air meeting in the evening. He re viewed his votes and speeches, and protested monist the de riolon of the committee, assuring the meeting that Mr. 24•Cullegb and himself weft ready to offer themselves for re election, or to istrodnas two other candidates to the electors. A resolution wee carried unialmously to the effect that the mw bag deeply regn twd the decision ot the committee, which had deprived the borough of the senior of Itheare.

Sir Colin Campbell arrived at Alexandria on the 22nd, and was to leave the next day for Suez, where he would embark for Calcutta in one of the l'eni n . aular and Oriental Company's boats. According to the Pays, he will arrive in Calcutta in the early part of September, but the gallant general must have had luck indeed if he does not arrive there long before. TILE PRINCIPALITIES. Constantinople letters of the 22nd July, re ce i ve d . in Paris, state that in consequence of the conflict between the majority of the representatives of the Great Powers and the Ottoman cabinet on the question of the Principalities, the Grand Vizir, Reschid Pacha, had offered his resignation, which the Sultan had declined to accept. Nevertheless, rumours of a ministerial modification were rife sr Constantinople, and Kepeali Pacha was spoken of as the probable successor of Iteschid. These ru. moors, however, are considered to be very little worthy of credit. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 'ROY Ova OWN COIRWIEONDINT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. It appears that M. Vanin, the judge who is to try the three Italians for the conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor, misunderstood them when he supposed that they declined to select counsel for their defence. The Conalitutionnel says this morning that the pri soners desired to retain MM. Desmarets, 3laillud, and Floquet—the names which I originally men tinned to you—and this statement is partly confirmed by the Droit, which says that when M. Ris Met, tke counsel officially assigned to Tibuldi, went tosee hint in prison yesterday, Tibaldi told him that a friend had undertaken to choose an advocate fur him, and that he understood M. I)esmarcts had been fixed upon. Upon this M. Rivulet recom mended Tibaldi to write to the Procurear- General, and immediately withdrew. It is not surprising that the judge should have misun derstood the prisoners, seeing that they can none of them speak French. M. Desmarets is a very able and courageous advocate, who will make a real defence and not a sham one, such as has been some times presented by counsel named ez officio. An Italian gentleman, named Guiterrs, was arrested yesterday at the Bourse, for having been overheard to say that the plot was got up by the police. M. Lafragna, the Mexican envoy extraordinary, has returned to Paris from Madrid. It is stated that the conference for the settlement of the differ ence between Spain and Mexico will be held in Paris. I am assured that the Emperor will certainly go to Manchester. Some efforts were made at the opening of the Bourse to get up the Rente for the moment of the "options" (reponse des primes), but the attempt failed. Most of the premiums were lost, and them was a great quantity Of stock to bs sold. The Itente for account declined to 66fr. 55c., but during the last half-hour it recovered to 66fr. 80c., closing with a rise of 15c. For cash it fell 5c., closing at 66fr. 65e. Mobilier rose 10fr. The railways were firm this morning, but gave way afterwards in consequence at a falling off in the weekly receipts. They were ultimately quoted with a fall of from .ifr. to 7fr. 50c. The French papers report that in the night of July 27, another new comet was discovered by M. Dien of the Paris Observatory. This is the second which has been found by the same gentleman within a month. A singular agitation relating to a very homely matter is now going on in some quarters of Paris. A memorial is in course of signature praying for the total abolition of door knockers and the substitution of bells in their place. It is alleged with much plausibility as an argument for this reform, that a lodger who arrives late wakes up all the inhabitants of the house by thundering with a heavy knocker, except the porter, whose duty it is to open the door, and he being accustomed to the noise sleeps through it. A bell then, it is said, which should be hung close to his bedside, would be more effective, and would not disturb the neighbourhood. The other side, for there are two parties to this question, pretend, however, that custom would dull the ear of the porter to the sound of the bell as well as to that of the knocker, and that the impatient abut-out lodger would be reduced to make night hideous by kicking and screaming until he had made an amount of noise which, to be sufficient to rouse the concierge, must necessarily startle the inmates of the house as much as a knocker. The point, therefore, appears to be very knotty. ?,l. Thiers has returned to Paris from his excursion to Belgium and Germany. The Municipal Council of Dieppe has just votedan address to the Emperor, praying him to disembark at that port on his return from Osborne. ITALY. The Milan Gazette, of the 27th ult., announces that the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, governor general of the Lombardo-Venetian provinces, and Princess Charlotte of Belgium, have sent orders by telegraph to distribute 10,000 fr. to the poor of Milan on the occasion of their marriage. A solemn funeral service was celebrated in the cathedral at Turin on the 29th, being the eighth an niversary of the death of Charles Albert. The Bishop of Pigncrol officiated. The ministers, sena tor', deputies, and all the authorities of Turin, be sides a numerous congregation, were present at the ceremony. The King and Queen of the Two Sicilies visited the island of Ischia on the 19th, to be present at the solemn inauguration of a new church there. The Giornale di Roma and Bologna Ga:ette an. nounce the arrival of the Pope at Ravenna on the 22nd alt. at seven p.m. AUSTRALIA. (BY BRITIAH AND MAONETIC TELEGRAM) frame OUR owt4 coaassronovrr.)

ANOTHER ALARM OP FIRE AT TILE PRINCESS'S THlATta.—Last evening (Friday) it wee rumoured ell over the West-end that the Princess's Theatre was on fire; bat on our visiting the spot we found the house crowded and the Tempest proceeding as usual.
