Sic roes non, robin. Every honest public journal should take these words for its motto. If, like any other liberal profession, the Press were in the habit of singing its own praises on all occasions, it might be content to ask whether any other pro- fession can be compared with it for independence, self-denial, and self-respect. Like any other pro fession, ours has its " black sheep ;" its cowards, its quacks, its parasites, its jobbers, its ruffians ; but is there any service or calling iu which men consult the public good so disinterestedly, so entirely without hope of any other compensation than the self-rewarding sense of duty faithfully per formed ? The life of the public journalist is a perpetual combat ; and all the bat tles of the Press are soldiers' battles, fought and won by obscure heroes, whose names are never blazoned in gazettes, whose brows are never crowned with laurels, and whose wasting labours are never pensioned by a grateful coun try. Is it not the Press that moves the great wheels of human change, upon which statesmen and legislators ait in self-complacent wonder, like the fly in the fable ? Is it not the Press that makes the public thought, from which national action springs ? Is it not the Press that brings patient and humble worth to light, asserts the rights of the friendless, puts to shame the insolence of rank and office, saves the honour of the nation from the faults of its rulers, and protects the public interests from favouritism and incompetence ; and all without acknowledgment, save after-dinner lip-homage to something abstract and impersonal, and inseparable from the greatness of a free country? We are very far from complaining of this anomalous position of the Press. But we are reminded by a libel case tried a day or two since at Birmingham, of that constant and certain thanklessness which is the destiny of our vocation. It is the business of the Preen to be courted and flattered in seer**, and to be publicly disowned and vilified. And it continually happens that the bitterest assailants of the Press are men who have sought by its aid and influence to puff themselves into importance, or to use it as a weapon of personal attack against competitors and rivals. The most malignant enemies of the liberty of the Press have often been men who had abused that liberty most licentiously. Such, for instance, was the notorious Catholic champion, M. Lout& Vanitior, who for a quarter of a century steeped his pen in calumny and de famation, and defended the Faith in the style of a fishfsg. He was always demanding the imposition of silence upon his contemporaries, and calum niating the " triode " by which he lived. When the Press law of the Second Empire was decreed, ,creating a system of warnings, suspensions, and suppressions, M. Vxmixor praised it to the skies as " the very legislation of the Church." And it was only when his own scandalous journal was suppressed that he ceased to heap insults upon his fellow-journalists. Something of the same kind has occurred at Birmingham. It appears that /Ir. SANDS Cox, a resident consulting surgeon in that town, succeeded by dint of great energy and perseverance, and a large connexion, in esta blishing some years ago a School of Medicine, which grew by degrees into a kind of university, with a warden, vice -warden, dean of faculty, and save al professors, subject to the control of a mune'. The founder of this College became one of the council and its resident professor of surgery, and was elected at different times to other offices. In 1859 the affairs of the College had fallen into ex treme depression, and the Dean of the Faculty appealed to the Visitor to investigate complaints of merlons illegalities in its administration. The Visitor declined to interfere, but the Charity Com missioners sent down an Inspector, who made a detailed report of the existing abuses. The Repot t, however, was not acted upon, but was published in full by the Birmingham Daily Post, and its publication was followed by numerous articles and letters commenting upon the professional conduct and competency of Mr. SANDS Cox, and the circumstances of his dispute with the Dean of the Faculty. These articles and letters, and the publication of the Report itself, Mr. SANDS Cox chose to interpret as proets of per sonal spite on the part of the Birmingham Daily Post towards himself, and brought an action of libel against that paper. In cross-examination it came out that at the express instance and solicitation of Mr. SANDS Cox notices and articles had been frequently inserted in the paper with the view of inducing the public to contribute to the support of the College ; some of these articles had even been sent to Mr. SANDS Cox for revision before publica tion. In the same number of the paper in which the offending letter of the Dean of Faculty was printed, and upon which the action was brought, there appeared a series of testimonials of the 1 highest possible character to the abilities and , services of Mr. SANDS Cox as the ;founder of the College. Unfortunately the Inspector's Report, the publication of which extended over six weeks, contained the most ample and convincing proof that while the College owed its existence to the energy and generosity of Mr. Sawn, Cox, it also owed to his want of method, regularity, and prudence, and, as some of ,tie witnesses added, of temper, its progressive dete t :ioration and decay. The ,girminghant Daily Pest had, as the able counsel fo: the defendant admitted, "in the .. inter es t s of Ow public, advocated the rOtiregawit " of Mr. Cox tremble management of the College," which he had not only founded, but brought to the verge of ruin. Our contemporary had brought no loose or ucsupported charges against a public man in the exercise of • public trust. It had published in full the official Report ' exposing the actual condition of the College in the management of which Mr. SANDS Cox has had the largest share, and upon the terms of this Report, and probably compelled by the remonstrances of correspondents interested in the welfare of the College, it raised a demand for the retirement of Mr. Cox—a de mand which was but the echo of the public voice. The questions for the jury, according to the direc tion of the LOU)l CHIEF JUSTICE, who has cer tainly not been distinguished of late in his judi cial capacity for any large or liberal interpretation of the rights and duties of the Press, were : whether the publication of the Report was a matter of public interest, and whether the defendant had been actuated by honest motives, or by a malignant and vindictive desire to injure Mr. Cox. That the Report was a matter of public interest to the town and district was self-evident ; as to the motives of the defendant in publishing it, a due regard to public interest was quite sufficient to account for them to the satisfaction of all impartial men. Lord TEXTERDEN'S admirable dictum, quoted by the defendant's counsel, and approved by the CHIEF J (Jule; defines in the clearest and tersest language the limits of publicity in all such cases ; —" that a " man has a right to publish, for the purpose of " giving the public information, that which is fit " and proper for the public to know." THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY TO GERMANY. It has already been announced that the Queen will leave Greenhithe on Tuesday night for Antwerp, on the way to Roseau, near Coburg. A letter from Bonn states that her Majesty will mire there on the evening of Friday nest, and that some prepiratiou have already been made for the reception of the royal party. The English residents in Bonn, who are somewhat numerous, intend to be present at the station in force, and to testify their love for their sovereign in u marked a manner u is consistent with respect for the privacy which bar Majesty wishes to preserve on the journey. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OP WALES IN SCOTLAND. The Prince and Princess left their hotel in Edin burgh at fifteen minutes after eleven yesterday morning, amid the cheers of 10,00 people, for Holyrood. The royal party spent en hour and a half in the old palace, visiting Queen tlary's apartments, and narrowly examining the black stains on the floor of the closet where Rizzi° was murdered, and which are popularly believed to be marks of his blood. The Picture Gallery and the grounds of the Abbey were also inspected. Her royal highness expressed her delight with all that was shown her, but she seemed especially struck with the situation of the city. They after wards went round Arthur's Seat, by the Queen's-drive, and from that picturesque road they proceeded to the Castle, where they arrived just in time to see the 1 o'clock gun fired by electricity from the clock. While they were inspecting the regalia of Scotland, kept in the Castle, the rain, which had fallen severely to the moroiog, recommenced, and continued in a pitiless pour until about ten minutes after their depar ture, which took place from the North British Station at &30 p.m. PERTH, FRIDAY EVIZNING. The royal train arrived at 5.30 p.m., and their royal highnesses were received on the platform by the Earl of Dunmore, the sheriff, and the Lord Provost and magis trates. They were conveyed in a carriage and pair to the British Hotel, where they passed the eight. The public were not admitted to the station, bat a crowd was usem bled beyond the walls, and cheered their royal highnesses as they proceeded to the hotel. The Prince and Princess ap peered at the window and were again cheered. The Prince, accompanied by the Fart of Dunmore, drove to Boone Palace in an open carrisge and pair. PRINCE ALFRED ♦A ♦ NAVAL OFFICER.—OD Thursday (observes the United Service Gazette) his Royal Highway Prince A'fred, • lieutenant of the Royal Navy, completed his nineteenth year, and the event wan duly cele betted by royal salutes fired at the different seaports and garrison towns. It affords us much gratification to learn that the noble sailor prince has thoroughly identified himself with the naval service, attending to his duty on board ship with the zeal and sailor•like readiness and attention which mark young officers endeavouring to rise in the service by their own merit. While in the Racoon he has performed the regular duty of • lieutenant, keeping his watch and taking his fair share in every routine employment. For • time he will be re moved from nautical service in order to attend upon the Queen during her Majesty's German tour, after whi.dr. it is said, his royal highness will devote some time to the cultivation of civil learning ; but we trust and believe that the Royal Navy will ever remain the particular branch of the public service to which he will devote his at tention, and we hope that in doe time he may take a high ,f rank and position in it, which will en able him to watch over and advance its best interests. A gratifying proof of the kindly feeling with which Prince Alfred regards his shipmates was afforded only a few days since, when he came across from Osborne to Portsmouth purposely to attend the funeral of • seaman gunner, William Heger, who hid been killed by a fall from the foretop of the Racoon on the 31st ult.

The Vienna Pre&e of the 4th says: The imperial government would seem to have lately adopted some important resolutions. The German ques tion I. one of the objects to which the ministry have directed their attention, and we are assured that Austria is going to propose • federal reform which will exceed the expectations of the moat sanguine. A national representa tion in the Federal Diet with al] that such a principle carries with it is the mot d'ordre of M. de ltech berg- We learn at the earns time that the govern ment will take • decided step in customs reform and make known its views in regard to a free trade modification of the tariff, and its union with the Zollverein. It is said in diplomatic circles that times two propositions—federal re form and customs union—have been the principal subjects of discussion between the two sovereigns at Deakin, and the discussion of them has in no way modified the resolutions already come to at Vienna on both these points.

The court and government have resolved to bestow some relief on the sufferers from the earth quake at Manilla. (izorza's mime.) RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, AVOVST 3. The /nratide /inns of yesterday says :—" The Emperor returned from his excursion to Finland yesterday afternoon. At Tavastehuus his Imperial Majesty reviewed 10 battalions of Finnish Chasseurs, and was present at a sham fight in the camp established upon the road between Abo and Bieren borg. While marching past the troops sang Rus sian and Finnish national hymns." The same paper gives the following from Mos cow :—" The energetic and dignified attitude of our government, in face of the pretensions of the Western Powers to intervene in our internal affairs has gained it the support of all to whom the national dignity is dear. The ukase ordering the new levy for the month of November is conaidered by our population as a guarantee that this atti tude will be firmly maintained. Thus, this measure, which has hitherto always created discontent and grief among the masses, has been re• ceived upon this occasion with joy and gratitude. The replies of Prince Gortchakoff have called forth general enthusiasm. Everybody regards the future with satisfaction and calm. The moral strength of Russia has increased considerably of late, and she will surmount all her difficulties. With this assurance Russia need not fear any foreign coalition." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oom OWN coamzePommarr.) PARIS, FRLDAT EVINING. There is not a line in the Monikur to satisfy public curiosity as to the result of the ministerial council at St. Cloud. But, judging from the soft ened tone of the journals which yesterday were running a muck against England and Austria, and talking of a close alliance between Russia and France, I think it safe to conclude that the Duke de Morny's party have not for the present gained a victory, and that M. Drouyn de Lhuys will con tinue for some little time longer the hopeless task of negotiating for the six points, the conference, and the armistice, iu concert with the other two powers. Both the France and the Pays say to-night that the question remains " a European one." The France says : France will not isolate herself in this affair. Prince Cortchakors despatch endeavours to give satisfaction to our national susceptibility, but it does not weaken the understanding which unites us to Austria and England. There is something which France values quite as highly as her own dignity, and that is the loyalty of her relations towards her allies. This language is totally different from that which the France has been using for the last throe days, and is on that account the more remarkable. The Petrie says u "Latest news :" We believe we can Mate that the French government shows itself disposed [a weak expression this] to consider Prince Gortchakors despatch u being intended to make an attempt in regard to France similar to that lately made at Vienna—to separate oar of the powers (rem the other two. In presence of this appreciation of the French cabinet, and after new communicatioas made to France by England, separate notes will probably be drawn up at Paris, Vienna, and Loudon, but containing identical paragraphs. The Pays speaks in the following tender terms of the Gortchakoff despatch : The fact of such an explanation having been sent to Paris without waiting for the answer of the three powers ►ttests, on the part of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, an intention to give the most conciliatory character possible to ulterior negotiation,. It results, I think, from these meagre explana tions, that the hints thrown out by the Nation, of SD alliance with Russia, although they probably represent ideas caressed by the Duke de Morny and other advisers of the Emperor, met with no success at the council yesterday. Russia has pro bably tried to detach France from the triple alliance (if alliance it can be called), but, for the moment at any rate, her overture has not been responded to. A note of the offer will, however, be doubtless taken. It should be explained that this rather extraor dinary note of Prince Gortchakotf was written, not in answer to any diplomatic document, but to verbal remarks made by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to Baron de Budberg. The note in question was read to M. Drouyn de Lhuys so long ago as Tuesday last. It quite fails to bear out the description of it given in the mysterious and discreditable oor respondemw of the Debuts. The Bourse construed the note as inconsistent with the pacific conclusions which the Dlbats founded upon it and which the public yesterday was inclined to accept. The llente fell 30c. for rash and 40c. for account, closing at 67fr. 45c. and 67fr. 35c. Mobilier fell 37fr. 50c. In railways the only notable change was a fall of 10fr. in Lyons and of 15fr. in Southern. POMPEII.—A communication from Naples says : —"Five fresh rooms have been laid open in that part of Pompeii which had been uncovered this year, not far from the Forum. I have visited those rooms, and was astonished to find in them • number of pieces of bread, which must have been wrapped up in napkins, the Witte of which is still in • perfect state of procreative. There has been also found a pretty seal, having for motto the words • Ani. Mo.,' which Y. Fiorelli, the learned inspector of the excavations, tells me was a proper name—' Anicelos llodestus.' Y. Felix Padiglione, the persevering artist who is teproducing Pompeii, in cork, at 100th of its natural sire, has just added considerably to that work, which travellers may see in the small museum of odds and ends which bare not been mot to that at Naples. It contains specimens of all the small bronzes, tern cotta, utensils, sod other articles of private life, which tom the riche, of the Neapolitan galleries.

The Federal fleet bombarded Fort Wagner on the 18th instant without effect. At dusk 11 regi ments, including one coloured regiment, led by General Strong and Colonel Putnam, stormed the Fort, but were repulsed with heavy slaughter, and compelled to fall back to their entrenchments. The troops displayed great bravery, many of them reaching the parapet. The coloured troops suf fered severely. Colonel Putnam and numerous officers were killed. The Federals estimate their losses since the 12th at 1,000 men. There was a sharp engagement on the 16th on James's Island. The Confederates being there in strong force the Federals abandoned the island. General Beauregard officially reports the Federal repulse from Furt \Vaguer. The loss of the Confe derates was 160 killed ; that of the Federals, inclu ding prisoners, was about 2,000 ; nearly 800 were buried under a flag of truce. General Lee has passed through Chester Gap and is moving in the direction of Culpepper and Orange Court House. The Federals engaged his rear at Chester Gap, and captured 1,200 cattle. The Confederates have destroyed all wharfs at Acquia Creek. General Morgan, with the balance of his com mand, has been captured and taken to Cincinnatti. The further pursuit of General Johnston has been abandoned. The steamer Emma has been captured. NEW YORX, JULY 28, Emma. The Southern journals state that the bombard ment of Fort Wagner was renewed on the 24th and 25th. The Federals had strengthened their posi tion on Morris Island. Admiral Porter reports that the expedition up the Red River was very successful. The enemy was completely surprised. Two steamers were captured, two burned, and enormous quantities of supplies and ammunition destroyed.

NEW YORK, JULY 29, Moans°. The Federals have been repulsed in an assault on Fort Wagner. General Lee has escaped out of the Shenandoah Valley. General Morgan has been captured in Ohio. General Lee's army is now south of Culpepper. His passage through Cheater Gap was ineffectually opposed by Buford's cavalry. It is supposed that General Lee will resume a de fensive position on the Rappahannock. A Confederate force, supposed to be the advance of General Bragg's army, attacked a small Federal force at Richmond, Kentucky. The latter, pursued by the Confederates, fell back to within five miles of Lexington. Martial law has been proclaimed in Lexington. The citizens have been called upon to defend the city. A Confederate force, 15,000 strong, is said to be moving northward, rid Crab Orchard. Southern journals state that the Federals had gained and held during one hour a position in a salient of Fort Wagner, but were driven out. The Southern journals, although acknowledging the late reverses, appear still confident of the ulti mate independence of the South. Vice-President Stephens has made several speeches expressing unshaken faith in the success of the Southern cause. President Davis has issued a proclamation, uraiug tLe people to receive in thankfulness the lesson taught them in the recent reverses, and appointing August 21 as a day of fasting and prayer. The Governor of Georgia has called for 8,000 troops to be ready on August 4. He urges none to despair of ultimate success. The New York Daily News asserts that President Davis has sent a messenger to the Emperor Napoleon, proposing an offensive and defensive alliance, theCoufederate governmentacluiowledging the French protectorate over Mexico and promising to modify the institution of slavery. The New York Herald says that when the rebel lion i 8 crushed America will step in to restore the republican form of government in Mexico. The New York Times says that the proclamation of the Mexican empire shows that an affiliation between Napoleon and the South is absolutely certain. The Courrier dea Etats Utast thinks that the vote of the Notables must be ratified by universal suf frage, as the Notables have a right to act provision ally in the people's name. "The Archduke Maximilian," says the Courrier, "will doubtless desire to see the stability of the throne affirmed by a popular vote." Mayor Opdyke has vetoed the City Council's appropriation of money for drafted men. He says that the riot was an outbreak of traitors. General Sandford, commanding the State Militia, has issued a report that the riot would have been sooner quelled if General Brown had not withdrawn the Government troops against General Wool's orders. General Wool reports that General Brown, al though ordered, refused to obey General Sandford. The opposition journals assert that General Brown received his inspirations from Washington. Mr. John J. Crittenden is dead. The steamer Merrimac has captured a side-wheel steamer, driven ashore upon entering Charleston. The New York II rald asserts that Mr. Seward has informed Earl Burrell that if privateen con tinue to be fitted out in England, Federal war vessels will not regard British porta as a protection to privateers. The Ilerabt fears that a war with England may precipitated in consequence before the rebellion is cnnilied. The New York Triton' , asserts that the Federal Govenment has notified to England that Biz sail ing of privateers will be cobslderod an I. friendly act. P.S. General Lee officially denies General Meade's report of having captured a brigade of infantry and two pieces of artillery as Lee was re tiring across the Potomac.

The Council of Notable's had declared that the Mexican nation, through them, selected an Empire as the form of government, and proclaimed the Archduke Maximilian Emperor. If the Archduke refuses, they implore Napoleon to select the person in whom he has full confidence to occupy the Mexican throne. The Empire was pub licly proclaimed on the NEW YORK, Jur 28, Evwwo.

The Mon iteur of yesterday publishes the letter of a correspondent at Yeddo, dated the 27th of May. According to this letter the Tycoon, while declining the offer of support against the hostile Daimios made by the representatives of France and England, has expressed warm gratitude for the friendly step taken by the powers, and has declared his intention of adopting a policy favourable to the extension of commercial relations with foreigners. He appears willing to grant the indemnities claimed by the British government. Hisrepresentativeat Yeddo has merely requested that the definitive settlement of the question should be postponed until the re turn of the Tycoon to the capital—a delay of fifty days--but he has offered to pay a considerable sum on account immediately. The correspondent of the Moniteur says that these results are due to the energetic attitude of the French and English admirals, who have, moreover, secured the lives and property of the foreign residents from all further danger. He is of opinion that hostilities will not break out. THE DUKE OF SAXE•COBURO ON THE PRESENT TIME. Dr. F.

The following is published aa the answer of the duke : " Your impressive and heartfelt words, my dear Hof mann, have been to me the cause of great joy, and I cannot forbear from personally expressing to you my warmest thanks. In metrical phrase—in the fragrant dress of poesy you have invested the profound prose of the time with the fittest words. The times are most certainly troubled. Discord and weakness on throne*, mistrust and self-love amongst parties, many hollow phrases and toe words, planting banners, and thundering hurrahs. Where are the actions—where the deeds!

OCTRAormUA HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR Latent rita.—About noon on Wednesday two young ladies were walking on the turnpike rued leading from Leiosater to Thuroby, a village a few miles distant, to see some friends, and, when near Saltersford Bridge, a somewhat lonely part of the road, they met a man, apparently a tramp, who, haring passed them, turned back again, and over took them. After proceeding ahead of them for some distence he again turned towards them, and toolt a position on the bridge until they had p a ssed him, when he went towards them and exclaimed, "Stop ; 1 want you :" and presented a pistol, and de manded their money. The state of the terror-stricken ladies may be easily imagined, sod to get rid of the villain, whom they feared if not gratified would do them some bodily harm, they handed him their purse, a leather me with steel clasp, containing 45., which fortunately hap• paned to be the only _money they bad about them. The scamp at once snatched the purse from then, sod took to his heels towards Leicester, and at the present time he remains at large. —Birnit nghow Rot.
