RICHARD HIBBS, a clergyman of the Established Church, of creating a disturbance in Waterloo-place by preaching there, has been dismissed by Mr. Coral& after a very parent hearing of the case. From the manner in which the prosecution was conducted, a stranger might infer that street preaching on a Sunday was something intolerable and unheard of, or that at least it was not permitted within the circuit of the Metropolitan Police. In fact, how ever, nothing is more common, as everybody who moves about London well knows. Anyone who will take the trouble to walk on a Sunday afternoon, say from King's-cross to the canal bridge in the Caledonian-road, may see from six to a dozen considerable groups of people gathered round a person who is addressing them in a declamatory style. The topics discussed are various. Most of the preachers take care to have a Bible with them, some to preach its doctrines, and some, we are sorry to say, only to ridicule and misrepresent them. The discourses are not, however, confined to religion' subjects. Here you may see a negro, with vehe ment gesture, dwelling on the wrongs of his enslaved brethren in America; near him is a tem perance lecturer ; a little further on, a humble fol lower of King Jsmrs is blowing a terrific " coun " terblast to tobacco," and he in turn is suc ceeded by an amateur vegetarian, who is de nouncing the vanity and nothingness of mutton chops. The same thing is going on all over London. Some of the most respected of the conforming and non-conforming clergy in London have preached in the open streets ; and, if we remember rightly, Bishop TAIT has at least once sanctioned the practice by his personal example. There is a good deal to be said for and against this allowance of street preaching. Those who favour it on considerations drawn from the Gospel should remember that the apostle of unbelief fol lows with his scoffs and doubts the missionary of the faith, and it is very doubtful whether in the end the resulting evil is not greater than the good. And there seems to be no way of preventing this, for public opinion would not tolerate the attribu tion to the police of a power to discriminate between the merits of the orators, and to suffer one and silence another. The allegation that Mr. Hrsss was causing an obstruction in Waterloo-place was so unreal that we must suppose that it was made in a merely formal and technical manner, in order to bring the case before tho magistrate. Everybody knows that there is enough room on &Sunday in Waterloo-place for Mr. SPIIZOZONand his entire congregation. The complaint of Sir MATTHEW RIDLEY, by whom the police were set in motion, was that he was " an " noyed" by the noise of the preaching, and by the crowds that were collected. This is more likely. Inspector WiLsoit further said that complaints had been made on the part of the Clubs, and by some of the inhabitants of Carlton-terrace, who objected to bear the preaching, especially in time of warm weather, when they have their windows open. This brought on a discussion, and led to the calling of witnesses for the defence. The particular club which had complained was the Athenteont, "the " club," as Mr. CORRIZ observed, " where all the " learned people are." Mr. Bacot; of Skinner. street, was called, and swore that " there was no " annoyance ; " which simply m eans th a t th e preaching did not annoy him. He seems rather to have liked the notion of a preacher carrying his denunciations right into the midst of " all the " learned people," and volunteered the opinion that they stood very much in treed of a little reli gious instruction. "As for the abutting of win " dows, which occurred at the Athenaeum Club " house, he was not surprised, for the members " were sitting at the windows reading the paper all " day, which was setting a very had example. He " wondered that they did not draw down the " blinds as well. He had never known a more " irreligious body of men, and he hoped Mr. " Hiaaa's preaching had done them good." Another of Mr. HIBBS'S witnesses, however, was able to speak more favourably of the learned men, for he stated that "one gentleman who was " smoking put out his cigar to listen, and some " took their hats off." This great contest ended, like the invasion of the North, in the retreat of the assailants. Only, unlike that, it is renewable at any moment. The proceedings at Bow-street have settled nothing. As Mr. Conan has declared, there can be no legal claim set up to preach in the streets, which are made f or the convenience of public transit, and not to w ool an -.as for orators of any • orders or persuasion. We obj,;:t, however, to the learned gentleman's intimation that permission to divert the public thoroughfares to the purposes of the preacher is to be given or withheld at what he calls "the discretion of the p01i0.," ism. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1863. a course that can only give rise to endless disputes. There is no reason to suppose that the householders of King's-cross, or Bethnal-green, or Covent-garden like to hear preachers declaiming under their windows on a Sunday afternoon more than those of Carlton-house-terrace ; and if the complaints of one class are listened to those of others must be. The permission or disallowance should be subject to a universal rule, and not de pend on the caprice of anyone. It will never do to lay down that the poor are to be given up to the zeal of missionary preachers, while the luxu rious sinners are to be protected from their aggression. Int court. OSBORNE, JOLT 21.. The Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by the Marchioness of Carmarthen, Lieut.• General BrioUys, sod Captain Grey, arrived at Osborne yesterday evening on a visit to her Majesty. The Prince and Princess travelled to Southampton, where the royal yacht Fairy was welting to convey them to Osborne. . —..,..,._ The Judge Advocate-General arrived yesterday, and had an audience of the Queen this forenoon. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yester day. Au appeal from the High Court of Admiralty, the Amelia (part heard), was concluded. The Lords present were Lord Chelmsford, the Lords Justices Knight Bruce and Turner, and Sir Lawrence Peel. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Goversors of the Australian Colonies, Hong Kong, Ceylon. and from the Lord High COMICIiiI3OO4Ir of the burg, the Emperor has again inspected the batte ries, fortifications, and vessels of war, as well se the camp of the troops at Cronstadt. SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 22. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The government bas instructed its representative at Paris to sound the intentions of the French cabinet on the subject of fresh negotiations con cerning Mexico. Tranquillity prevails at Malaga, Valladolid, Seville, and Granada. (mom oul owe 'mourn.) WORCESTER, TOISDLY. It is in the implement department that the pre sent show is strongest. In this respect the Wor cester exhibition beats all its predecessors. There are no fewer than 300 exhibitors in this depart ment. At Leeds there were only 204. The mere enumeration of the 5,839 articles "on show " swells into a bulky volume of nearly 500 Imps. The machines in motion remind one of the similar departments in the Great Exhibition, except that in the present instance the machinery has ampler verge. Hence in the "Trial-yard" ponderous steam-engines, some by themselves, and others with caudal-like appendages, reminding one of the great sea serpent, or that other " serpent" described by Milton as floating " many a rood" behind, may be seen moving about in all directions. It would set a well-trained horse and cart to turn in the space in which one of these monster engines will do it. To such perfection have these machines been brought, that the epithet of Eschylus, "the iron -minded," would seem to be quite an appropriate description of them. The variety of smaller implements carried down with the intention of saving human labour in the minu test departments of life is surprising, and the ingenuity of mind in adapting contrivances for this purpose is perfectly wonderful. But what if all this labour was yam ; for is it not said by the greatest living economist of England (Mr. J. S. Mill) that it is doubtful if all the machinery that has ever been invented has abridged by a single hour the daily toil of a human being 1 Here is some thing for the 300 implement exhibitors to meditate on and think about when they have made their fortunes. DESPATCH OF THE AMERICAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 22. The North German Lloyd's steamship America, sailing hence to-day with the United States mails, takes out 69 saloon and a limited number of steer age passengers, also a fair cargo, including a large quantity of tea from London, and 45,036 francs value in jewellery from Havre. Amongst the America's passengers are the Hon. B. Wood, of New York; Mr. T. Canisius, United States consul at Vienna; W. H. W. Derby, United States consul at Dusseldorf; and Dr. Leyman, of Pittsburg. The Compagnie Generale Transatlantique have established an agency at this port, under the direc tion of Messrs. Keller, Wallis, and Postlethwaite, for their steamers from St. Nazaire to Mexico, i the West Indies, &c. Among the instruments classified, we find that in barley hummellers (one of the prize implements this year) there are eight exhibitors, including Bar rett and Exall, Barnard, Couch, Tacker, and Boby. Cake breakers—twenty-eight exhibitors, with Ben tall, Carson, Turner, and several local firms among them. Carta and waggons are represented by 38 exhibitors. Chaff-cutters occupy a portion of the stands of 60 exhibitors. Steam ploughs have but the limited number of seven exhibitors, but then these machines are yet in their infancy. Taking another class, not yet very old, we find that threshing machines are shown by Beata, Barrett, Clayton, Hornsby, Robey, Goucher, and some seven-and-thirty other makers. Passing on to a still older implement, the plough, we have a list of forty exhibitors, in cluding such well known firms as llornsby,Howard, Ball, Armstrong, Hancock, and Hunt. The great firms are, as a matter of course, ade quately represented by general collections of im ' plements, and the specialties for which they are famous. Hornsby, neutral, Croskill, Howard, Burgess, and Key, Turner, Fowler, and Priest, and Woolnough, are names which carry with them all the description of a general character that is re quired. Widely known, but not less noticeable in their way, are the stands of Cottam and Co., with their princely sets of horse boxes, stalls, harness rooms, and stable fixtures ; McNeile's roofing, with &fat simile of that which covered the treasures of the International Exhibition ; Brown and Co's art manufactures. But the agricultural show is not the only attrac tion here, although it is the principal one. There are subsidiary elements which aeserve notice ; any first with regard to the dog show, which is held close to the Agricultural Exhibition. The entries are numerous, and the dogs shown in all the classes good—in some above the average. In the first division, set apart for sporting dogs, there are 276 entries. Of foxhounds there are six shown, mostly by Colonel Clowes and Lord Fitzhardinge. The harriers number four, and of beagles there are only two. There are 32 greyhounds, dogs and bitches, and between 70 and 80 pointers, the classes for the latter being amongst the best in the show. The entries in the setter classes are also, as a whole, good. There are 2 - 2 English setters 18 black and tan setters, and 7 Irish setters. The bloodhounds are but poorly represented in numbers, though there are some very good specimens, con sidering the number (6) shown. There are 10 deer hounds, mostly good, and 30 retrievers, to which the same remark, somewhat strengthened, may be applied. 13 specimens represent those wily old cover hunters, the Clumber spaniels ; and 28 other spaniels used for sporting purposes make up class 26. There is a new class here for fox terriers—these dogs formerly went amongst the white and English ter riers—and it is pretty well filled, there being 17 entries. In the foreign sporting dog class there are but 5 entries, and none of any surpassing merit. In the second division, for dogs not used in field sports, there are 167 entries. The mastiffs fill 5 stalls ; the Newfoundlands, 7 ; the Dalmatians, 8 ; bull dogs, 14 ; amongst the exhibitors being Mr. Rinks and Mr. Lamphier, of Birmingham ; sheep dogs, 13 ; black and tan tethers, 18 ; white and other Eng lish terriers, 37 ; Skye and Dandle Diumont ter riers, 11 ; pugs, 1 ; Italian greyhound, 1 ; King Charles spaniels, 6 ; toy terriers, 7 ; any other distinct branch of English or foreign dog not usod in field sports, 16 ; and extra class for any other English or foreign dogs of a similar character, 14. The show, therefore, is a very large one. It had many visitors when thrown open this morning. —••- ' • • Then adjoining the dog show there is a poultry show. This was opened yesterday. There are in all 223 entries, and the sevcral classes of birds are well represented. Next comes a flower show, which is hell in the Worcester Pleasure Grounds, the proceeds of which are intended for the construction of a church. Nor is Worcester altogether without some of what were once London attractions— Frith's " Derby Day," some of the troupe of the Alhambra, the gorilla—all of which have had their favourite classes of visitors. As lam sending off this despatch (six o'clock) there is the greatest pressure, as I anticipated, at the railway station. There arc thousands on each side of the platform, and the general cry is where is the train for London, for Oxford, for Cheltenham, for Bristol, for Mal vern. Everybody seems to be off at once, and no one seems well aware in what direction he should go. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

His Honour gave judgment this morning on the case of a contributory named Bird, who was sought to be placed on the list by the agents of the official liquidator. He said the com pany had been incorporated in 18E0 under the act of 1855, with a nominal capital of 15,0001. The winding-up order was made in November last. Notices had been given for settling the list of contributories, and the sitting for that purpose took place. Mr. Bird, said to be a holder of 87 share', denied his liability for more than 37 paid•up shares; the remaining 50, he said, were taken on behalf of a Mr. Ward, of the lds of Wight, for whom he was acting. As Bird had never testified his acceptance of the 50 shares in writing, the court did not think him liable for those shares, but he would be placed on the list for the 37 shame. IN BE IMPLY-JUDGMENT. The bsnkrapt was an auctioneer, at Guildford. His debti were 2,4661. ; no insets. His Honour now gave judgment oa his application for order of discharge.

William Stephens, a young fellow of gipsy a ppearance, who had been a cabman, but who had lost his p =rt; consequence of misconduct, was brought up on a warrant, and charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with intending to fight for mooey on Sunday morning last, with a young man named William Bailey. Sergeant Bell, of the P division, said that in oonseptence of information he received on Saturday night that there was to be a prize fight near Baptised, on the Sunday morning he was on the look out, and at half-past 3 o'clock he met the young man Bailey, accompanied by ten or twelve men, in Hill-street, Peckham. One of the men WA arrying a bottle filled with water, and others carried beer, and Bai ley did not deny that he was going on the Rye to fight the present prisoner Stephens for two pounds, and under the circum stances he felt it to be his duty to take Bailey into custody. At that time, as he understood, there were as many as '4O persons waiting to see the fight, but hearing that Bailey was io custody they dispersed. In condo/Mb, the witness said tbat there was scarcely a Sunday morning that prize fights had not been arranged to come off on the Rye, sod the scenes were of a disgraceful description. The prisoner Bailey, when brought to this court on Monday morning, acknowledged that he was on his way to fight Stephens when be was apprehended by Sergeant He was ordered to God bail, and a warrant was granted for the apprehension of Stephens, and on that warrant be was apprehended. The prisoner admitted the truth of the sergeant's state ment, and, as in the case of Bailey, was ordered to find bail. SOUTH W A RK. FIUME OF MANMLAUGIITEIL_. William Crawley, St, a olos-nsaker, residing in Joiner street, Westminster.road, was brought before Mr. Bonham by Sergeant Toone, of the A division, charged with causing the death of Thomas Corbett, on Sunday morning last, in Mint-street, Borough. Mary Corbett, a middle-aged woman, said that the de ceased, Thomas Corbett, was her husband, and they had for some time lodged in the Mint. Her husband was a grioder, and, unfortunately for her, in the habit of drink ing to excess. Os Saturday night last be went out to a wake but did not return home until an early hour on Sunday morning, when be commenced quarrelling with her and beating her. She rushed out of the house for protection, fearing that in his frenzy he might kill her. He followed her into the street, and caught hold of her and knocked her down.

The following letter, just received from the Pre sident of the Council of Ministers at Athens, M. Ruffoa, explains the causes of the late deplorable conflict in that capital : Athens, June 28 (July 10), 1863. fair —I think it necessary, in order to complete the satis factory intelligence which I hastened to forward to you by telegraph, to accompany it with some observations that I hope will enable you to form a more exact idea of our situa tion, and also to reduce to their exact proportions the exaggerated rumours that our enemies will no doubt spread with the design of darkening the picture of our affairs. In order to avoid falling into grave errors regarding the causes of the deplorable disorders which have so recently overwhelmed the capital with sorrow, there ere three things which must not be overlooked. 1. That the system of favouritism followed by King Otho during 30 years has created a number of faction in terests and over-excited egotistical appetites, which the revolution, struggling with every species of intrigue, could not overcome in a single day. 2. That the army having fraternised with the people, and taken from that moment an active part in the revolution, could no longer preserve that severe discipline without which order can never be fully sustained. 3. Th►t, considering the perturbation into which these two facts, universally acknowledged, must have thrown society, a miracle was necessary, to form out of the revolution, con stantly at war with a reaction more or ler considerable, a government sufficiently strong to overcome every resistance. Is it to be said, sir, that Greece is, as it has been sought to represent her, but • den of wild beets, ready to devour one the other? L it to be said that morality, justice, and the laws are constantly trampled under foot? Noce but the systematic enemies of Greece dare to make such assertions as these. The instinct of preservation is so powerful among the lover classes ; the ideas of order are so strongly rooted in the minds of every curs; the National Guard, numbering now all over the kingdom 30,000 men, is so penetrated with its duties; sod the government itself exercises a moral iofluence so efficacious, that the agitators and the men who give themselves up to a foolish ambition—happily few in number, and out of accord with the dominating spirit, but capable, no doubt, of doing mischief, much mischief, ander favour of the circumstances which I have already mentioned to you, plunge the nation, disgusted with their culpable attempts, into anarchy. These are the reasons, sir, why the troops which the other day sought each other's lives in a fratricidal combat retire at this very moment in compliance with • simple order of the government into distant provinces. These are the reasons why these mutinous soldiers did not and imitators elsewhere. In • word, these are the mesons why the government, by the mere force of persuasion, was able to calm passions which seemed implacable. Aa regards the pretended attack on the National Bank, the most im. partial investigation does not permit it to be affirmed that such an object was at any time in view. What appears to have given rise to these suspicions is that the place in which the bank is situated was the centre of the sanguinary con fact. Beside; this establishment was put out of all danger by the aid of a guard, furnished, at the request of M. Stair - roe, the governor, by the representatives of the three Powers. When King George, whose advent is so ardently and unanimously desired by the Hellenic nation, arrives and establishes a government strong in the support of an excessively popular monarchy, and consequently strong by general sagest, this country, where so many unexplored sources of riche* abound, where so many men of honourable character and talents exist, and where the aspirations to. wards progress are so irresistible, will draw towards itself, I dare to hope, the sympathetic regard of Europe, and parti cularly of England, and will in every respect show itself worthy of the benevolent protection of the civilised world. Receive, air, the easurerioe of my profound esteem. B. Roans, President of the Government. To the President of the Philhellenic Committee, London. AUSTRIA AND POLAND. In the second chamber of the Austrian Raicharath, Counts Potocki and Kiusky have given notice of certain questions respecting recent events at Cracow. The former demands, first, whether the govern ment will confine itself to ordering the local autho rities to make an inquiry as to the events which took place on the 14th of July at Cracow, or will take other measures to ascertain the truth with regard to the conflict ; secondly, whether the government is disposed to order the Galician authorities, and especially those of Cracow, not to cause the people to be fired upon without previous warning; and, thirdly, by what right the Galician telegraphic officers refuse to forward telegrams relative to the events in Ga licia. Count Kiusky desires to know for what reasons enforced residences have taken place in Gali cia, and upon what treaties or international ar rangements these measures are founded. The Ost- Deutsche Post says that the replies to these ques tions are awaited with great impatience, because the questions themselves are connected with the attitude of the government towards Austrian Poland. (1110111e8 TILXGRAMS.) THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 22. _ _ Prince Gortchakoff's reply to the French note relative to the Polish question has been published to-day. It agrees in substance with that addressed to England. It moreover insists on the moral so lidarity of the great powers in presence of the evident action of the revolutionary element of all countries, concentrated at present in Poland, stat ing that this gives the question a European cha racter. Prince Gortchakoff says :—" We are so much the more compelled to call the attention of the French go vernment to this fact, since one of the principal focuses of the agitation which exists; is Paris itself. The Polish emigrants, profiting by their social relations, have organised a vast conspiracy, destined to mislead public opinion in France by a system of misrepre sentation and calumny, and to keep alive disorder in the kingdom of Poland by assisting it with material, by the terror of a secret committee, and, above all, by propagating the conviction that active foreign intervention will take place in favour of the most senseless aspirations of the insurrection." " This influence," adds Prince (lortchakoff, " is at present the principal source of the agita tion which without it would be overtaken by the action of the law in presence of the indifference or opposition of the masses. Herein lies the moral cause which tends to prolong the present painful state of things, for the prompt cessation of which the French government, like ourselves, appeals in the name of peace and huma nity. We have pleasure in believing that the French government will not permit its name to be abused for the advantage of the revolution in Poland and in Europe." AUSTRIA'S REPLY TO PRINCE GORT CHAKOFF. VIENNA, Jim 22. Austria has despatched a preliminary note to Russia, in reply to the despatch of Prince Gort chakoff on the Polish question. This note an nounces that Austria cannot abandon the line of cmiduct she has pursued up to the present. She rejects the proposal of a conference of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, maintains the six points, and declares that in any further steps she may take she will protect ber own interests only. Notes have been simultaneously despatched by the Austrian government to the Western Powers, declaring that Austria will continue to act in concert with them, an d will firmly maintai n th e s i x points. RUSSIA. BERLIN, JULY 22. According to letters received from St. Peters- EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor oua OWN oonsaronarr.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING!. There is no new symptom throwing any light upon the great question of the day. The autho rised journals, while vaunting the firmness of France, continue to harp upon the theme that the question is a European one ; and that I construe to mean that there will be no war unless England can be dragged into it, which will not, I think, be the case. The Bourse has not recovered from the fall of yesterday, but the panic has not oontinued. Rente only fell 5c.; Mobilier rose 15fr. The France persists in its contradiction of there being any intention to have a naval review at Cherbourg. The iron-clad ships Solferino, Magenta, Gloire, Couronne, Plnvincible, and Normandie, are indeed to be shortly assembled in that port, but only for the purpose of experimental manom vres similar to those which have often taken place at Toulon. The Moniteur publishes flaming accounts from the Mexico journal, the Sociedad, of the rejoicings of the Mexicans at being conquered by General Forey. One little detail, however, which the Moniteur omits, is essential to the truth of history. This Sociedad is a journal started by General Forey himself for the express pur pose of writing up the French occupation. The flowers, white pocket handkerchiefs, crowns, wreaths, mottoes, and shouts are all described in !the very style of the Paris journals when they set forth the joy of the Parisians after the coup &fiat, and, for the matter of that, it is very probable that the work is done by one of the same pens. The Moniteur also publishes an adulatory address to General Forey, from the " municipality" of Puebla, the value of which as an index of public opinion may be gathered from the single fact that they thank him for having " created them." This illustrates the accuracy of the statement of a semi official organ, the other day, that Mexico was already being governed upon French principles. The new Minister of Public Instruction, M. Duruy, is gaining "golden opinions from all sorts of men," the extreme clerical party only excepted. His activity and courtesy are beyond all praise. Without doing open violence to the church, which would not be in accordance with the Emperor's intentions, he is reversing the policy inaugurated in 1852, for the express purpose of lowering the dignity and destroying the independence of uni versity professors, and strengthening the hands of the priests. In a speech, delivered yesterday to the Imperial Council of Public Instruction on the occasion of the close of its session, M. Duruy— after thanking the council for their assistance in carrying out the Emperor's wish for the re-esta blishment of the class of philosophy—referred to the fact that their body is composed of men of divers creeds, who, nevertheless, consult toge ther in perfect harmony for the purpose of furthering the great work of education. Religion and philosophy should not be considered as ante goniutical, but each should fulfil its parallel task. Quin corpus ouustam . . . Asimum quoque pnegravat ass Atque Olga Immo diviaos partici/lam aurae ; He concluded as follows : Our society is formed in the image of this assembly. It unites and causes to live in peace, under the same law, for the greatness of our beloved country, men of all religious communions. It is the same with our colleges; ►nd just as there is not a catholic or a protestant rhetoric and geometry, there will not be • Hebrew, • Humid man, or even • university philosophy, as some already say there is, unless by the word " univer sity" they mean what I would willingly accept, good sense and patriotism. With regard to that word, allow me to say that the ministry of which you are the eminent counsel is not the head of a narrow, jealous, and exclusive corporation. We are, gentlemen, the impersona tion of public instruction, by which I mean the civilisation and morality of the country. The priest at the altar, and the professor in his chair, have both the same task. They pursue it—the former with his eyes raised to Heaven, our future home; the other, with his eyes turned earthwards, on past ages and this present life. They follow two parillel lines, with the same end in view. Following your example, gentlemen, let them be actuated by good faith, mutual re. spect, love for the public weal, and let them remember that peace on earth is promised to men of good will. The telegraphic statement that Turkey had pro tested against the cession of the lonian Islands to Greece is contradicted. After five weeks of dry weather is Paris a light rain commenced falling yesterday morning, and in the afternoon and evening it came down rather heavily for several hours, accompanied occasionally with loud claps of thunder. Yesterday morning the waters of the Seine had sunk to the summer level of the year 1719, which has long been the zero point of the scale for measuring the depth of the water at the Pont Royal and other bridges. The Seine has not been so low more than once before during tbe present century—in the year before the comet of 1811. A letter from Lisbon states that the sale of crown diamonds, recently ►uthorised by the Portuguese Cortes, has taken place at the Bank of PortugaL The principal purchaser was M. Bernard, of the Imperial diamond-cutters' establishment of France, to whom four of the principal iota of rough diamonds were knocked down for a sum of 1,300,000 fr. The total proceeds of the day's sale were 1,800,000 fr. These precious stones oame front the mines of Minas Genies, in BraziL They were brought t o Portugal, as has been stated, be King John VI. in 1821. The value of the diamonds which the crown still has to sell is estimated at about 35 millions of francs.
