An exhibition of plants belonging to the work - ing-clasoas in the parish of St. George's, Bloomsbury, was had yesterday afternoon and evening in the central garden of Russell-square. it mu the third show of the kind which has taken place in the district, and was attended by • large number of the inhabitants of Rumallequare and the streets immediately adjacent, the working.clemar—adults of both sexes, and children—being also present is considerable force, and mani festing peat interest in the spectacle. The entries, for which there is no charge, were more numerous than they had been previously, and many of the plants were exceed ingly creditable to their exhibitors, who comprised, halides artisans and their wives, domestic ser vants, and children in the national infant, Sunday. parochial, and ragged schools. The prizes varied from la. up to 10s. The exhibition included all the more femilar domestic plant. Among those coming from the children were observed some pretty specimens of gera niums, fuehaies, and eniceolaries, interspersed with window balms, lemon, orange, cherry. and walnut plants, infantine oaks, ivy, ferns. mask, he. The adult exhibitors furnished some excellent dahlias, geraniums, nasturtions, and fuchsias. The first prise for fuchsias was awarded to a domestic servant, who, with the mine plant, obtained similar esteems two years ago. As was well remarked by the Rev. IE Bayley, rector of the parish, in addressing the company assembled, when forming an estimate of the merits of the various specimens due allowance should be made for the disadvantageous circumstances under which they were grown. They were, however, in fact, on the whole very gratifying to witness. The prizes were presented at 6 o'clock, by the Earl of Shaftesbury, in the presence of • crowd of spectators. Thirty-me prizes were afterwards distributed by the noble earl to the owners of "clean and tidy moms," among the working-claeses in the semis parish ; and this pert of the proceedings also excited emmiderable interest The highest reward in this important department of parochial improvement was 21, which was obtained by a Kra.

(armee TZLIGIUIIO. ) THE POLISH QUESTION. TIJRIN, JOLT 8. The Discussione of to-day says :—" The rumours are incorrect that secret negotiations are in progress between France and Italy for the formation of an alliance in case of a war in favour of Poland. While the action of the three powers is based upon the treaties of 1815, Italyahould maintain great reserve towards a policy which might not be in accordance with the policy of the Italian nation." The Discussions considers that the diplomatic negotiations will not attended with the desired result. The alliance of Austria will perhaps be useful to France and England so long as there is only question of obtaining ameliorations in the situation of Poland. When, however, France and England really intend to bring about the triumph of the Polish national cause, Italy will probably be called upon to give her assistance. CRACOW, JULY 5. The Cuss, in an article, points out the disad. vantages that would ensue to the Pwlieh wins° by the adoption of an armistice. WARSAW, JULY 6. The National Government has published a pro clamation to the following effect : " Nothing has been altered in the proceedings of the National Government since the programme put forth upon the 22nd January last. We have never over-estimated the value of foreign diplomacy, nor have we entered into negotiations for an armistice. The National Government would only place itself under obligations to foreign powers when it nego tiated with them upon a footing of equality as the representative of a free nation." THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, JOLT 8. Engagementabetween the Russian troops aid the insurgents have taken place from the sth until to day, in the palatinate of Cracow. The Russians have plundered the environs of Miechow. A fresh detachment of insurgents has made its appearance at Lubelald, under the command of Wierzbicki. In Volhynia the insurgents have occupied Berea teczek, Sestratyn, and Cybachow. THE MARQUIS WIELOPOLSKI. BERLIN, JuLT 8. The New Prenssische (Krenz) 7,eitung of to-day publishes news from Warsaw, asserting that the Marquis Wielopolaki has only asked for leave of absence for four months, and that he will imme diately proceed to the Wand of Rilgen with his family.

JAPAN AND CHINA. MARSEILLES, JULY 8. News has been received here from Japan stating that the Government manifested tendencies which gave reason to hope that it would give the satisfac tion which the English admiral had been ordered to obtain by force. News has also been received from China to the 26th May, according to which a complete under standing existed between the Chinese Government and the representatives of England and France. The insurgents had not recommenced hostilities. Tranquillity prevailed in Cochin China. AMERICA. Crux oca srEcur, coma.srom2a.) NEW YORK, Jura 27. The news from "the front," as it appears in the newspapers, is almost au unintelligible muddle, as it is mainly made up from the stones brought into Harrisburg and Philadelphia by terrified fugitives. The estimates of Lee's force which we find in the telegram would put Munchausen himself to the blush, and they make it quite evident that the runaways multiply every body of Confederates they see at least by five, and often by ten. Lee's army was set down at 60,000 strong only four day s ago, which I am satisfied is about the truth, bu it has ever since been swelling as it progresses. On Wednesday it was 100,000, and yesterday it had reached 125,000. I presume before a battle is fought we shall have it up to 200,000. Last year, when he attempted his invasion, it rose nearly to 300,000 before the battle of Antietam, and his numbers in that action wero confidently estimated by the Federal staff at 90,000, but it has since been proved beyond question that 60,000 at most were all that were engaged, and in fact all that he had at his disposal. It is all but certain that the army in Virginia has nut at any time during the past year exceeded, and does not now exceed, if it reaches, 100,000 men, and out of this Richmond has to be garrisoned, ar.d a line of com munications, which during an invasion of Penn sylvania will be 150 miles long, has to be held. 25,000 men is certainly not too many to allow for this purpose, and if we deduct 10,000 more for nou-effectives and stragglers, it will be easily seen that Lee will find it very difficult to put more than 60,000 in line of battle on Northern soil, and it is within or about this force, it is now pretty certain, that he is crossing into Pennsylvania and Mary land ; or, perhaps, I should rather say has crossed. When I last wrote we were in doubt as to where he was going : this seems now settled, but the uncertainty about what he is goiug to do is still as great as ever. here seems to be no question that he has crossed in force at various points between Harper's Ferry and Hancock ; that his advance, composed of Ewell's (formerly Jackson's) corps, about 20,000 strong, with a large quantity of artillery and an immense waggon train, is moving along the Cum berland Valley Railroad, and is now in or at Car lisle, about 20 miles from HarrisbUrg ; and that no attempt will be made to check them until he reaches the Susquehanna. As to the exact position of the main body nothing very trustworthy is known, but it is undoubtedly across or crossing the Potomac between the two points I have already named. As to his plane, there are two theories current. The one is that he is to march on Baltimore, carry it by a coup de main, cut the communications of Washington with the North, and then descend on it, and if possible capture it, and the President's cabinet in it; and from this high vantage ground apply to Europe for recognition. In this, however, the existence of Hooker's army is entirely ignored, as is also the fact that as long as it is in its present position, or in any position that it is likely to take up, a movement towards Baltimore or Philadelphia on the part of Lee would leave the Federala on his flank and rear, and render his return into Virginia, except by some extraordinary stroke of luck, all but impossible. If this plan be ever carried out, it will only be after the destruction of Hooker's army by a bloody battle. The other, and I think the more probable, theory is, that the invasion of Pennsylvania is " a raid" _ . on a grand scale, and has for its main object, like Bragg's march into Kentucky last autumn, the seizure of supplies ; but the army, while engaged in it, will be ready for anything that may turn up. Northern Virginia is completely desolated, and it would for this reason have been difficult for Lee to have maintained himself in his old position during the summer. By establishing himself in the Shenandoah Valley, however, he makes sure of the crops in that fertile region, which are now nearly ripe, and by sending columns across the river into Pennsylvania elms ea tar as Hanisbarg, ba is enabled to farage in one of the richest districts in the whole Union— theCumberland Valley, which contains the largest, best cultivated, and most productive farms that are, perhaps, to be found in the North. The barns are bursting all the year round, and horses and cattle are no less abundant than the corn ; so that Ewell finds himself in the midst of such plenty as he and his men have probably for the last two years only seen in their dreams. His division is accompanied by an enormous train of empty waggons, which jus tifies the supposition that they are about to carry off as much plunder as they can, while they have already seized and appropriated all the horses along their line of march. In doing this be is not only ministering to the wants of his own army, but he is gratifying the long-cherished, long-re pressed desire of the Southern people, " that the North should be made to feel the war." The Southern States have felt it in all its bitterness, and from the outset the strongest ground of complaint against Jefferson Davis hes been the defensive po licy which made the South the scene of all the active operations. This transference of it to Northern soil will, therefore, be a source of intense " gratification" to his public, and it is also not im possible that he and they are possessed by the belief that actual experience of the inconveniences of the war may strengthen the hands of the peace party at the North, and drive a still larger number of the timid and money-loving into their ranks. There is one other motive which, it is supposed, has influenced the Confederate leaiere in determi ning upon this move more than all the others, and that is the desire to counteract the effect upon the morale of the Southern people, as well as of their friends abroad, of the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, which is now impending, and in fact may be said to be certain. Johnstone has unquestionably given up all inten tion of attempting to raise the siege of Vicksburg, and is devoting himself to making arrangements for staying Grant's progress when it is over, and at Port Hudson the small and ill-supplied garrison is already in extreesis. The desperationof the struggle made by the South for the retention of these places, the gravity of the consequences likely to result from their capture, as well as the gratuitous statement of Jefferson Davis to the Mississippi Legislature last winter, that "he would stake the fate of the Confederacy upon his holding them," would render their loss the heaviest blow and the greatest discouragement which the South has yet sustained, and would do much to shake the faith both of its own people and of its friends in Europe in its ulti mate success if nothing were done to set it off, or distract the public attention from it. Nothing that could be devised for this purpose would be half so efficacious as a raid iuto the Northern States, as it bears the appearance of un abated energy and pluck, and administers a sort of slap in the face to the Federal government. So that it may be safely conjectured that the political importance of the movement is greater than its military importance, and that Lee will con sider that he has accomplished his object, even if he taken nothing by his dash be yond horses and cattle. That this is the view evidently taken of the matter at the North is proved both by the state of the gold market and by the perfect calm which everywhere prevaila. In spite of the panic-stricken telegrams which reach us here every hour from Harrisburg, the price of gold remains almost unshaken—having only risen about 2 per cent. within a week, aid being very un steady even at that, and the subscriptions to the five-twenty loan continue to pour in at the same rate as before. There is, in fact, a general feeling that this is not a real invasion, but a diversion—the struggle of men in " a fix " to do something or anything that will stave off the inevitable hour. New York still continues to forward troops to Pennsylvania, fifteen regiments having already gone from this city ; but there is by no means the excitement there would be if Lee's advance were the consequence of a disaster to the Federal arms. Attention is concen trated rather on Hooker and Grant than on Penn sylvania, for it is felt that the really decisive blows are to be struck on the Potomac or at Vicksburg, happen what may at Harrisburg or Philadelphia. This may help in some measure also to account for he apathy of the Pennsylvanians themselves, who are not volunteering in any great numbers, their conduct on this occasion forming a singular contrast Ito their behaviour last year, when they rose to a man after Pope's defeat. They have, however, now come forward in such small force for the defence of Harrisburg that the governor has been compelled to order a draft of 60,000 of the militia. There is a general feeling in the state that the militia will be . but a sort of " stop-gap," and that the result will be by no means dependent on anything they may do—that the real fighting will be done by Hooker. The news from the army of the Potomac is very scanty. The newspaper correspondents write under great restrictions, and the telegraph is mute ; but I lesrn by private letter from the let coil*, dated Thursday, that on that day this corpa, which had been at Guilford Station, was being pushed rapidly towards Leesburg, and that large bodies of artil lery from Heintraldroan's corps at Washington were moving in the same direction. Harper's Ferry now forms the extreme right of Hooker's force, and is well garrisoned and strongly fortified, and its possession by the Federals makes a wide difference between the relative posi tion of the combatants as it is now, and as it was last year. It was the opinion of the army at the date of my correspondent's letter that the [stamped, Id, Additional.] movements then in progress would bring on a ge neral action within a few days, as whether he meant to advance or retire Lee would have to fight to se cure his communications. It must be confessed, however, that if Harper's Ferry, as well as the "Gaps," were in his hands, his right flank would be well protected by the hills, and be would have little to fear except from the forcing of the gaps — a very difficult operation. As soon as it became certain that be was moving north, the Federal troops were all withdrawn from North Carolina, and are now massed at Fort Monroe, under General Dix, it is surmised, for an attempt against Richmond, which has of course been left comparatively uncovered ; so that those in England who have been complaining during the spring of the war "languishing," will, I think, during the next month, hear enough of active ope rations to satisfy them. The long-threatened iron-clad Atlanta came out of Savannah four days ago, and was captured after a fight of fifteen minutes. It was confidently ex pected that she would raise the blockade along the whole coast and ruin the Federal cause at sea. Her commander is said to have been so OVO,OOOIII by mortification and disappointment that be fainted after surrendering his sword. The result is rather a triumph for the 15-inch guns, but it will not prove sufficient, nevertheless, to reconcile the navy to them. Those that are used in the iron-clads have to be so short in order to lit the turrets that not more than two-thirds of the enormous charge, it is estimated, becomes ignited before the shot leaves the muzzle. At Charleston the water round the ships was black during the fight with =burnt . powder. The land artillery are however delighted with them, as they can be used full length in fortifications. MADAGASCAR. We have received the following statement and letter from the London Missionary Society : REVOLUTION IN THE LED DEATH OP RADARS. IL The announcement of these unexpected events, by tele graph on the 2nd indent, could not fad to awaken the moat painful surprise and bitter disappoiutment in the minds of all friend' of civilisation and social improvement, especially among the supporters of Christian Missions, who had cherished sanguine hopes, and put forth corresponding exertions, for the diffusion of Christianity on behalf of the numerous and benighted population of Madagascar. The letters received by the Indian mad yesterday, con firm the two important and plateful facts previoeidy an. Pounced, and the direutom of the London Missionary Sudety embrace the earliest opportunity of communicating to their constituents, and to the Christian public in general, the intelligence which they have received from the Rev. Wil liam Ella, who was a witness of the a ff ecting evens' which he deserigsa. In consequence of the noe.interconn• between Mada gascar and Mauritius during the unhealthy sod dangerous mama of spring, no intelligence has been received from the island for the last five months, and during this period the extraordinary events narrated by Mr. Ellie have occurred. The letter of our esteemed tread will excite equal sur prise and pain, u it applies to the the:eater and conduct of the late King, representing bun as the subject of a strange delusion, and the victim of interested, fanatical, and aban doned men. That Radiuma was the sincere friend of the oppressed Christians for several yam during the tyrannical reign of the late Queen, we have the strongest evidence. His utmost influence was exerted to protect them from persecution and to deliver them from borate', and hi owe fs often risked for their preservation. Sines his ao oessioa to the throne the esme disposition has characterised all his public proceedings; and while he Me proclaimed just end equal liberty to all classes of his subjects, he has 'Horded special countenance and encouragement to the na tive Christians in the profession and diffusion of the Gospel. But although Radama was distinguished by many amiable qualities—by an instiuctive hatred of cruelty—by great respect to Mr. Ellis and his associates, end by an evident interest io their instructions—yet be never avowed himself a Christian, nor intimated his intention of becoming one. Indeed, it was an occasion of habitual regret to his best friends that his excellent qualities were not only found in °mumuu with great infirmitiee, but with positive evils. His impulsive end excitable temperament exposed him to the snare* which unprincipled foreigners threw around him, and, more recently, his midnight dissipation appeared in strange contrast with his professions of interest in Christ ianity and respect for its teacher'. Mr. Ellis, writing to a friend by the last mail, gives the following statement in reference to this painful subject "One of the items in the document ecutaining the prin ciples of government adopted by the present Queen is th that which requirese sovereign of Madagascar to abstain from all spirituous liquors. They ascribe mach that is to be deplored in Radama'a character to his having been so email, intoxicated, and are determined, if it Le possible, to prevent this evil for the future. This was the weak point which laid Rada= open to tad advisers ; hence the cruelty and treachery of foreign intriguers, who took advantage of his weakoms and excitement, which they them. selves brought on, to accomplish purposes which be would not have entertained in his mace mom:eta. It was under the influence of their wine that be signed the fatal treaty with a well known foreigner, and other docu ments which he did not understand, and it was this evil which finally acoeleratial the loss of his reason and his life." Mr. E. adds :—" The King was also addicted to many superstitious notions about dreams end spiritual agencies, habitually enforcing any argument with the expression that he believed it, for it was right because ' God told him so.' Any aooouot of supernaturel appearances or phenomena had a peculiar charm for him, much more so than any duect reasoning upon cause and effect. I cannot believe us was a party to the murderous project against my life, but I rather believe that from many combining causes he had be come completely bewildered and alarmed, and that he finally lost his mason." At a similar conclusion devout and intelligent readers will probably arrive, from the contests of the following letter, and it may awaken feeliigs of coomeasion for the misguided King who so unaocountably became the instru ment of designing men in their deadly hatred to the cause of Christ, and who appeared to sanction end encourage deeds of cruelty and blood, so utterly repugnant to his former disposition and habits. What permanent results may follow the establishment of the new goveroweut in Madagascar none can foretell. In the change from absolute despotism to an approach to constitntioual government Englishmen must heartily re *ca. But whether the intluentisl classes in 31sdaignscar sincerely value or know how to improve these good pm ciple• time only can determine. It will be seen that Mr. Ellis end his associate* regard the change more than hole fully, Lod determine, by Cod's help, to work with zeal sod vigour in du service while the opportunity is given. To afford them our best support and kindest encouragement in the prosecution of their labours is our obvious duty ; and, while recognising the overruling wisdom, power, and grace of God in all that effects the interests of His church, we should thankfully acknowledge the protection vouch safed to His servants in the tour of their peril, humbly de peed upon His watchful providence for their future safety, and implore the blessings of His grace for the success of their labours.

ELLIS TO THE REV. DR. TIONAN, FOREIGN SECRETARY OF THE LONDON 311/3sIONAKT SOCIETY. Autatmoarivo, May 16, 1863. My dear Friend,—Seldom has the instability of human affairs been more strikingly, and, in some impacts, tragi cally manifested, than in the events of the last few days in I this city. Within that period the reign of Radama 11. has closed with big life ; a successor has been chosen by the nobles and accepted by the people ; a new form of govern ment has been inaugurated, and it is arranged that the legislative and administrative functions of the sovereignty shall hereafter bs discharged by the sovereign, the soils', and the beads of the people jointly. A series of resolutions embodying what may tio the germs of constitutional gover,Diepi has been prepared and presented by the wiles and heads of the people to the Queen, omitainirg the conditions on whirls they offered tier the crown. The acceptance of these conditions by Rebutter, and their due observance by the nobles and beads of the people, were attested by the signateres of the Queen and the chief of the nobles, before the former was announced to the people as their future sovereign, and proclaimed under the title of Baroaherena, Queen of Medallion:. The death of Radama, the offer sod acceptance of the crown, and the proclamation of the present ruler as Queen, all occurred on Tuesday, the 12th inst. Amiable and enlightened as in several respects Madam certainly was, his views of the duties of • ruler were ex ceedingly defective, sod almost all government for the good of the country may be said to have been in abeyance ever [TWOPENCE since his acoessioe. The destroction of a large part of the revenue of government by the abolition of all duties ; the exclusion from his commis of many of the nobles and most experienced men in the nation, while he remanded himself with a number of young, inexperienced, and many of them meet objectionable men as his coufidential advisers ; the re taxation or diecontiounoce of all efforts to repress crime, or punish it when committed ; and the neglect of all mounts, for placing the prosperity of the country on any solid beais, have, notwithstanding the affection many of the people bore him, produced growing dissatisfaction. Still, confiding in his good nature, all were willing to wait in hops of • change for the better ; while the Christians, grateful for the liberty they enjoyed to worship, teach, and extend the knowledge of Christianity, directed their chief attention to the en lightenment of the mares of their heathen countrymen. Within the last two or three months extraordinary efforts have been made to bring the King's mied =du the influence of the old superstitions of the country, and these have succeeded to an extent which hr resulted in his ruin. Within this period • sort of mental epidemic has appeared • in the adjacent provinces sod in the cspitaL The subje c ts. of this disease pretended to be unconscious of their actions, and to be unable to refrain from leaping, running, darieleg, kc. These persons also saw Tasks, sod beard voices from the invisible world. One of these visions, sees by many, was the ancestors of the King, and the voices they baud announced the coming of these anceston to tell the King what be was to do for the good of the country. gubee queetly a message wee brought to him as from hie ancestors, to the effect that, if he did not stop " the praying," some great calamity would soon befall him. To the surprise of his beat friends, the King was exceedingly interested in this strangz i n a i k ovement, eeemed believe the pretended the gee% of widtoth house. emcee= =Tamers who dilly thronged his and that the dimes, would oontinue to increase till " the pray ing" was stopped. It is generally reported that them movements were prompted by the guardians of the idols, and promoted by his own MOOMILIO, • who bribed parties to come as sick persons in large numbers from the country In order to continue the delusion, It mu then proposed to ausisinate a number of the Christians as • means of stopping the progress of Chris tianity, and also to kill the chief nobles who opposed the King's proceedings. With a view of increasing the influ ence of this fanatical party, the King horned an order that all persons meeting any of the so-called sick should take off their hats, and thus show them the mime mark of reaped se was formerly g iven to the national idols when they were carried throw the city. With the view also of shielding the perpetrators of the in tended murders, the King announced his intention to issue an order or law that any peewee or persons wishing to fight with firearms, swords, or spears, should not be prevented, and that if anyone were killed the murderer should sot be unished. Thu alarmed the whole community. On the 7th instant Radama repeated Micro his ministers and others in the palace his determination to issue that order ; and among all the Menernaso present only three opposed the issuing of the order; many were silent, the rest immerged their approvals The nobler and heeds of the people spent the day in deliberating on the course they should plum. end the next morning the prime minister, with about one hundred of the nobles and heeds of the people, including the commander-in-chief, the King's treasurer, and the first officer of the palace, went to the King, and remoa strafed against hie legalising murder, and besought him most earnestly Dot to issue each order. It is said the prime minister went on his kneel before him, and begged him not to issue this obnoxious law • but he remained un moved. The minister then rose and said to the King, "Do you say before all these witnesses that if any man is going to fight soother with fire-arms, sword, or epee; that you will not prevent him, and that if he kills anyone he shall Dot be punished ?" The King replied. " I agree to that." Then meg the minister. "It is e enough ; we must arm ;" and, teeing to his followers, ." Let us return." I saw the king procession as they passed my house, grave and silent, on their way to the minister's dwelling. The day was spent inTodewharblriti the o evening nth l ey was de tuost i ned proTi t len o ti p ary , the served from earassisation at the King's house ; five of hie osifidentiel advieen—i. e., the Menamaio—haTingois I have since been well informed, combined to take my life, as one of the maims of arresting the progress of Christianity. Coder God, I owe my preservation to the warning of my friends, and the provision mad* by the prime minister for my safety. I went to the King an hour earlier than usual, and returned immediately, to prepare for removal to a place of greater safety nest my own house. Ileseengers from the minister were waiting my return, and before dusk I removed to the hones of Dr. Davidson, which stands on the edge of An dohs.* the large space whore public assemblies are cites held. The city was in great commotion • all night women , and children, and slaves, with portable valuables, were hurrying from the city, while crowds of armed men from the suburbs were crowding into it. At daybreak on the 9th some two thousand or more troops occupied Aodohalo. The ground around the prime minister's house, on the summit of the northern crest of the mountain close by, was filled with soldiers, while every avenue to the city was securely kept by the minister's troops. The first object of the noble' was to secure upwards of thirty of the more oboe:ions of the Mesa maw, whom they accused of being the advisers and abettors of the Kiog in ban unjust and injurious measures. A num ber of these were taken said killed, a number fled, but twelve or thirteen remained with the King. These the nobles required should be surrendered to them. The Kiog reload, but they threatened to take them by form from the palace, to which the King had removed. Troops con tinued to pour in from adjacent and distant pests ; and an the few soldiers with the Kiog refused to fire on those sur rounding the palace, the people, though pitying the King, did not take up arum in his defence. He consented at length to surrender the Mammas*, on condition that their lives should be spared, and that they should be confined for life in fetters. Oa Moody, the Ilth, they were marched by Andohalo, on their way to the spot where the irons were to be fixed on their limbs. To the course of the discussion with the nobles the King bad said be alone was sovereign, his word alone was law, his person was sacred, he was supernaturally protected, and would mini* severely the opposite of his will. This led the nobles to determine that it was not safe for him to live, and he died by their hands the met morning within the palace. The Queen, who alone was with him, used every effort, to the last moment of his life, to save him—but in vain. His advisers, the Menaineso, were afterwsrds put to death. In the coarse of the forenoon, four of the chief nobles went to the Queen with a paper, which they handed to her as expreesing the terms or conditions on which, for the future, the country should be governed. They requested bar to read it, stating that it she consented to govern according (to these conditions, they were twilling that she should he the sovereign of the country, but that if she objected or declined, they must seek another ruler. The Queen, after reading the document, and listening to it and receiving explanations on one or two points, expressed her full and entire consent to govern according to the plan therein set forth. The nobles then said, "We also bind ourselves by this agree ment. If we break it, we shell be guilty of treason. and. it you break it, we shall do as we have done now." The prime minister then signal the document on behalf of the nobles and heads of the people, and the Queen signed it also. The chiefs of the nobles remaioed in the palace, and between one and two o'clock the firing of cannon announced the com mencement of a new reign. Between three and four o'clock a party of °Moms came with a copy of Oda document, which they read to us. I can only state two or three of da chief items. The word of the sovereign alone is not to be law, but the nobles and beads of the people, with the sovereign, are to make the laws. Perfect liberty anal protection is guarantied to all foreigners who are obedient to the laws of the country. Friendly re lations are to be maiutained will. all other nations. Duties are tube levied, but commerce and civilisation are to be en couraged. Protection and liberty to worship, teach, and promote the extension of Chrieturoity, are secured to the native Christians, and the same protection and liberty are guaranteed to those who are not Christians. Domestic slavery is not abolished ; but masters are at liberty to give freedom to their slaves, or to, sell them to others. No person is to be put to death for any °Reece by the word of the sovereign alone ; arid noone is to be sentenced to death till twelve men have declared such person to be guilty of the crime to which the law awards the punishment of death. An hour afterwards we were sent for to the palace, that we might tender our salutations to the new sovereign, who assured us of her friendship for the English, her good will to ourselves, and her desire to encourage our work. I can not add more now. We are all well.—Yours truly, Rev. Dr. Tidman. W. Ewa. P.B.—June 17th.— Everything is going on well. The new Queen has written to Queen Victoria and to the Empe ror of the French, announcing her accession to the throne. . her wish to maintain unimpaired the relations of amity and frieedship established between the two nations and Mods , wear, and assuring both sovereigns that she will pro tect the persons and property of their subjects who may come to this country.
