Tan greatest imp dine nt that life in the way of the right waking of the Irish Poor Law consists is the arbitrary and unjust distribution of the country into unions and electoral divisions. From the Meal map, made by the illustrious Mr. Geoßox Mathes^ in the consume ate confidence of ignorant empirical% 419eng his memorable sojourn in that country in 1839, no departure worth mentioning his been ab lowed; and it is not too much to say that, if a spider were dipped in ink, and set to crawl over an °edam, chart of the island, the lines thus trend would in nine cases out of tea furnish as legitimate, intelligible, and uniform a set of bounds nes as these marked out by . the sagacious ezecommis &once. Of their glaring injustice, men of all par ties and of all dames in the community ewe not to complain. The rich, whose property is unfairly, because unequally, assessed; the poor, whose wants are continually denied prompt relief; the man of business, who desires to have the rates economised; the man of charity, who desires to see the helpless helped in time, and the famishing saved from the cried and irreparableconsequences of protracted lack of food ; all whom generosity or sdflahness impels to seek fora better admieletthtien of the law, however they may differ upon other points, in this are of unanimous neon,. All agree that the "electoral divisions" need to be carefully revised and re-distributed. tome would reduce the area of taxation to a less unit than others; but everybody (who is not paid so mach a year toe saying the contrary) declares the existing boundaries to be fraudulent and unfair as between man and man ; and feels that they interpose an inn. parable obstacle to every practical attempt at w earing either efficiency or economy in the working of the law. Of the specific blunders,or the comparative partiali ties of Mr. NICHOLLS'S Issail-esech map of electoral divisions, we are not now about to speak. Flagrant instances of injustice and inconceivable perversities of allocation and grouping might be cited in abundance. Perhaps we may, another time, amuse and astonish our readers with se lect extracts from the statistical ooalbesions which during the past session have been tardily wrung from the infallible' of the Poor Law Commission. Our present peirpose, however, is somewhat different. We wish to direct attention to the simplest, but, as we believe, the most important, point oonnected with the whole subject—we mean, the general size of the Irish Unions. And we are anxious that this gees- Ike, lying as it does at the foundation of many others, and intimately cow retied with all that relates to the imposition and expenditure of rates cuss the relief of the poor, suld be cossidered fairly sad be jedged don its owe merits, which, in reality, embrace many considerations of the deepest moment, not apparently mixed up with the questions of public charity. People talk of the want of practical habits of co-operation in Ireland, of the want of industrial spirit among the agricultural classes, of the want of local public opinion there ; but here, at the very root of social amelioration and political improvement, has been wantonly and vexatiously opened a fountain of ',Warne" waste, and blight, which no individual or combined activity, probity, or perseverance, can re move. The introduction of the principle of a genera poor law intrielreland we regard as one of the wisest and most beneficent exercises at legislative power tat have been witnessed in oar time. Without wish a provision, we believe that the rights of labour la that country could never have boon pmenfolly or per manently secured, and es the first attempt to put a bridle on the lawless and heedless neglect of every public and private duty by the owners of the soil, we heartily rejoice that the experiment, impseket as it is, should have been made, and that there pre vails among men of all parties in both countries a growing sense of the duty and policy of having ie burly tried out. But it is on this amount expressly that we feel bound to reclaim, in common with our Irishoooteesporaries,aonatthe obstinate adherence to a part of the system which needlessly tends to bring the working of the law into r tmeate, and which directly tends to prevent the in localities of there habits of cooperation and mutual so pery without which any elective or local schme of management must prove abortive. There are several anions in Ireland am large as cm , ten English °centime There are many which con tain a population wbo, at particular seasons of the year, are liable to be thrown on the rates for relief, greater than any halt doses rani ea of perishes in this country similarly situated as regards property and co cepatioos. Lit as endeavour to realise what this, means. A number of parishes, varying in popula. tion, rateable property, and other respects, are grouped together in many districts of England and Wales. For certain purposes a contributive mess !sent is imposed, and common benefits are thus obtained. The like objects were pros feaseelly sought to be secured in Ireland by the constitution of unions—not of parishes, but electoral divisions—the rats in the Irish division being, as in the English division, raised within itself for the relief of its own able-bodied poor—sod only a contributive portion fro each being applied to the assiatennee of the union workhouse, staff, is. Thus in amen (those pliant, empty, and deceptive things men all the world ever deceive theme= one another) the two systems bear • tehr able likeness ; bat substantially there odds no similitude whatever.

The workhouse in Imbed m a reel test of destitution, because it is sisysete (generally speaking) to contain the ic y mi of three who present themselves as for public charity'. In Ireland the weehhense is seldom if ever large enough for the purpose, bemuse it is perched in the centre of a district which frequently contains as many' scores of aseessitow families es there are beds at straw within its walls. English guardians are earthier of being guardians of property against fraud and imition, and of poverty against unmerited neglect, because they are called on to administer the LRAM of a district, whether parah or anion, of which they have, or can with ressocable point °noire a competent knowledge.

"Yon see, sir, nearly five millions go to defray the ehargee for collegting the revenue, and a very mode rate per-centageloo. Rather more than twenty-eight millions are absorbed by the interest and management of the debt; national credit . , you know, must be sup ported. Then the charges on the consolidated fund are permanent, fixed by acts of parliament; hey are beyond our reach. The army, navy, and ordnance-- the national &Puce, the national hor,our, Great firitain's place among the nations of the world, M oot be maintained at leas cost. So the only part of GA national expenditure where there can be any pos sible room for economising is the miscellaneous esti mates, and they amount only to about three millions and a halt." ' With all due deference to the men of high name who join in this curkoosong, we are , f opinion that ' miscellaneous estimates are precisely the part of the national expenditure where least retrenchment is to be looked for. We are far from defending them. We have ere now pointed out die reditable items among them. But they have been mainly swelled to their present amount by imuroved organise ion of our system of government, which of course must be paid for. There is room for reduction in tee miscellaneous estimates, but on the whole they are the most defen sible part of our national expe ndi ture. The way in which they are to be arought under bet ter management and con t rol is this : —The whole civil ex penditure for government purposes (we are keeping the debt out of view at present) is covered by the consolidated fund and the miscellaneous estimates. Some naval and military pensions have crept into the one, and some items whist properly belong to the de fensive departments into tho other • but on the whole the character of this branch of the national outlay is civil. Now, nobody knows what work is got in re turn for the charge on the consolidated fund. There is so much fur the civil list, so much for annuities and pensions, so much fur salaries and allowance', so much for diplomatic salaries and pensions, and so much for courts of justice. But bow these salaries and pensions have be.n earned and what they amount to, or how mary judges and dip lomatists are kept busy and what pro portion their work bears to their pay, nobody kr.ows. The truth is that many posts and employee paid out of the consolidated fund belong to oar old government framework, and ought to have bssa abolished when the new machinery charged in the miscellaneous estimates came into play. This vas if in addition to paying the new polies theft& staff of the old " Charlie/ were still kept up and paid for. Let a detailed account of the estaWishments and per sons paid out of the consolidated fend be presented to the House of Commons every year, with the raistalin news estimates, and it will be found that in many departments we are keeping up two sets of institu tions and officials—those who used to do, and those who now do, the business of the state. It is requisite for the right understanding of our annual expendi ture tnat this should be done, even 'hough the "vested interests" on the consolida ted: fund should be re garded as inviolable. But in point of fact such a statement should be made the first step towards piecing the whole of theinstitutioas and persooscharged on the consolidated fund on the same footing as those charged on the miscellaneous estimates. The whole annual expellee of civil government, like this whole expense of our defensive establishments, ought to be defrayed by an annual vote. When our whole civil expenditure is thus subjected to annual sorutiny and revision it will be found poseibleto make veryeen siderable reductions in the 6,274,680L135.3d., which it cost us in 1847; but the least part of this reduction will be in the three millions and a half of miscella neous estimates. When the gross revenue comes to be paid into the Exchequer, as it ought to be, and subjected to the oomstitutional contra of parliament, it is highly probable that considerable saving may be effected in the slam (nearly amounting to five millions) charged for the expenses of collection. Bat the great field wherein redaction is possible is the 18,502,1464 18e. 6d. charged for our defensive establishments. When we place the sum of 6,274,580. paid for the maintenance of civil government in 1847. to juxta-position with the earn of 18,602,1481. paid for our defensive establishments in the lemma year:los embark hosed the air et a It is as if the waist of a benselisid should le three times es mash kr limb( his prembos Tabbed as for the whale et hie dosimds maangsmird.

The truth la that we are keepko and have for the Isla thirty years been keeping, ear army and nary a a war footing during a period of ail bet minter rupted and universal peace, and tte habit has SD grown upon our statesmen that the evil is early in creasing. Oar naval and military estatt is have been immensely increased within the het thirteen years, and it is scarcely two years ekes we bad an organised agitation (unrivalled for the clamorous mendacity of its aasertiote) aiming at doubling their oast. A vigorous rally has been made to bring back the time. when soldiering was regarded as the freest end and aim of human existenoe—when the whole industrial aliases of a nation were tolerated or encouraged merely as the serfs of the military cede. This tendency is but faintly denied; and the palliation put forward is, that though wean at now we know not how won we may be precipi into war, and that armies and navies cannot be extemporised. The fallacy of this allegation admits of being easily ex c= War is a science, and, like all sciences, em the collective experience of many centuries. We do require professional soldiers to form the nucleus of our army, in the event of w..r bruiting out; but it is not necessary to the efficiency of oar army that the bulk of it should consist of old experienced soldiers. Even when a nation commences a war with • large army of trained soldier., its ranks, by the close of the first campaign, are filled in a great measure by recruits—by new hauds,who have to k arn their business under fire. Now, it we look back to the experience of the last century it will be seen that whenever an army thus composed has been brought into conflict with an army entirely or principally composed of trained soften the advantage has been on the side of the latter. In the war of the American revolution the British armies were mainly composed of old trained soldiery, the American of raw remtts, organised by the few able and experienced soldiers possessed by the United States when hostilities commenced. In the early wars of the French revolution the immense standing armies of the other European powers were driven like chaff before the wind by the ardent volun teers of France, disciplined and mstracted by the remnants of the old monarchical army. In the war of the Peninsula, in the German war of liberation, tb • veteran armies of /ii,po!eon were in their turn dis comfited by armies compsei mainly of recruits, with a sprinkling of experienced and able soldiers among i them. It would be easy to multiply examples ; but what is more to the purpose, the ratimale of the fact is obvious. There is true economy in laying up large stoves of commodities which will keep ; but it is sheer waste aid extravagance to accumulate large surlies of those which spoil by keeping. Now, soldiers and sailors are eminently of that clam of commodities which do not keep. The time ot life daring which the average ot men are available for military service ranges from five-and-twenty to fifty. By maintaining large standing ai mica in time of peace a majority of the officers come to be past the rims of life when they are fit for service. The THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1848. average age of the viatorious commanders of the Freseh revelation was from thirty to forty. At the time of the battle of has the ages of the Pnweian field Aces ranged from 59 to 60. As might have bees anticipated, the musty soldiers kept in the store house of the Prussian army were soundly drubbed ; the fresh seen of the French improvised armies beat down all before them. It is obvious, from the evidence of the Honourable BIDNRT lIZISIRT before the committee on army, navy, and ordnance estimates (quoted elsewhere in this day's paper), that our navy has of late years been getang into a condition exactly parallel to that of the Prussian army at the time of the battle of Jena. " Our halt pay list," said Mr. HERBERT, "is so large, that if you were to commission every ship in the navy, you would leave out some deserving men." When asked whether the list was not made large by promoting store officers than are wanted, he replied, Yes, by admitting so many into the service at the bottom that you are ob:iged to promote a greater number afterwards than are neces sary for the public service." The evil effects of this inevitable result of heaping op a large navy in time of paws were illustrated In a striking manner by Mr. HERMIT. He adverted to the plan of retiremeot adopted in 1840 to get rid of the incumbrance of officers, advanced beyond the age of effuwive service. Lord Howls, he said, was made an admiral at 49 ; Lord Mums younger still. When the retirement plan was earned into effect, Captain MARTIN, the elds at of the officers, about the age of these heroes when they got their flags, bad 280 claimants of flags above him. Hod war broken out at that time we must have sent our fleets to sea under commanders fitter fur their easy chairs. This is what we have gained by keeping up an enormous navy at an enormous expense in time of peace. With a view to the efficiency of our defensive establish ments, as well as to economy, there ought to be a prompt and sweeping reduction in the eighteen millionswhich we pay annually for storing up soldiers and sailors to spoil. Cusees of people who are the very antipodes of each other may be sometimes found wurking with a marvellous harmony towards like end... In the same department of the empire where spotting dukes shut op wide districts of territory mildest travellers, reverend clergymen and their serious abettors are endeavouring to restrict railway commu nication. The main difference between their object. is that the one class measure their restriction terri torially, while the other measure it by . time—the one will have it limited to their own domains, hut applied to all days in the year ; tho other will have it limited to the seventh day, but applied to all the land. It is remarkable, too, that while, with one notorious excep tion, the interrupters of the Highland glens have generally been Englishmen, so in the only cue in which the sabbatarian spuit triumphed in Scotland it was backed by English shareholders. But the paralla has an end here; the spirit under which our sports. men acted was a contempt of the laws and habits of the people they had gone among, and an idea that they carried into the wilderness the trespass law of their well-kept lawns and gardens—the men who closed railway traffic acted, as we shall see, under the be nevolent intention of humouring a nation of fanatics. It is quite natural that men so bold, ambitious, and able as the Scottish clergy, should have fought the battle of thole sabbath opinions on the railways. Among the many other new fl.lds of enterprise opened up by the great revolution in locomotion, this one must have soon been apparent. During the dynasty of the turnpike roads, when each man used his own vehicle as he pleased, the brittle had to be fought in detail, and the dear-bought victory would scarce be worth the labour and peril of the fight. But when so many bowie of directors teld in their hands the guidance of the locomotion of the king dom—when it was for them to judge at what time it was fitting that the passage between any two places should be open, and when it should. be closed—the clergy, by getting the command of these boards, might hold Sunday travelling, as it were, by the throat. The opportunity was a tempting one, and we need not wonder that it was greedily seized. The clergy of Scotland have a great stake in this question. An absolute dominion over one-seventh part of time is not a privilege to be lightly parted with. They are rendered more vehement in the struggle, to by the unpleasant circumstance that they are una ble to produce any authority for the ab solute dominion they arrogate, in the rule of faith and practice as set forth in the Christian dispensation. A worthy lady who was ono* carrying,on a dispute on this point, which she should have left to her minister, in one simple sentence expressed the great difficulty which he would have carefully avoided. Being desired to produce a text of the New Testament. authorising that rigorous °been- AMOS of the Sabbath which her party demanded, she admitted that such as authority was not to be found. sabjoiniug the remark, that she " always thought that • gnat assission" Bat the omission only ren dered it the man neeneary that the clergy should supply it by their seldom energy. In fact, their Sab bath principle is the week of their own creation, and they but exemplify, in their superabundant zeal for its promotion, that sad indication of the wicked vanity of mankind denounced in a commandment not abrogated, which prompts them to elevate the work oftheir own hands above the commands of the Deity. In a circular just issued in Edinburgh by " the committee of the Sabbath alliance" to the di rectors of railways, it is said, that " the last great day will reveal how many of the horrid and fatal sect dents which comae from time to time on railways, both in England and Scotland, result from a sys tematically violated Sabbath." The alliance them selves, of course know all about it, and they only choose to give forth enough of their knowledge to terrify the poor mortal' who have no access to their sacred mysteries. Alas ! how fearful an amount of presumptlon and pride lurks in poor degenerate man kind. Some time ago a section of the Edinburgh clergy, chiefly those of the free church, said they required ten thousand a year to support " a sabbath alliance," and issued an order that the money should be forth coming. How mach of it they have obtained we do not know, bit they have been able to constitute their association and to put it in operation; with a staff of well-paid officials, whose function it is to persecute the public in two shapes, first, by extracting money from them, and, secondly, by employing it in annoy in ai f ia tti e z This, along with many other leagues and has, we &aspect, been founded on a miaap whimsies eft he secret of the success of the Anti-Corn law Lieges. Where a multitude of men are already of cam =led. • combination, with pecuniary means at its dieseal, unites their mattered forces into a foe= of gmatiower, and thus appears to constitute the sew it merely cements. An association which hem to indoctrinate people with its opinions has a em 7 dill rent task to perform, and we prophesy that the Sabbath alliance, it it ad a thousand for e hundred pounds it has collected, will du little to Werge its dominion. But although the alliance may make little progress in Scotland, which, where ' matters are concerned, is not so a country as the rest of the' wait believes, yet they are • bold, clamorous, and ohms body, and a melaucholy instance al ready : 1 1=to by us shows hat their voice may be taken by our too credulous countrymen tor that of Scotland at large. We shall remind our readers of the manner in which the one victory of the Sabbatarians was gains d through the aid of Englishmen, and shall briefly narrate some events which have followed it, begging English holden of Scottish railway stock to keep them in oiled as • warning for future guidance. Oil the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway the Sabbitarians were long iu a miserable minority. I- happened, ho e. ever, that a dispute arose regarding some g eating it s, and one of the parties hired the assistance ot the Sabha lariats, agreeing, if they could, united, comma, d a majority in the directory to aid their views, to vote fie. the closing of the line on Sundays. Our readers may possibly have a faint remembrance of the hot soutruversy which accompanied an appeal to the airrekulders. Marshalled by the Scotsman, the pre.' of the north, with the exception of the special t ash••- sisstical organs, lifted its unanimous voice against this act of spiritual despotism, which was emphatically condemned by all the town councils and other public bodies connected with the districts traversed by the line. On the other hand, the church courts of the various denominations with which Scot land swarms, gave forth a host of pompous looking soolniastioo-official mani'estoes, issuing 'rum spots with which the must accomplished go ogylapher was unacquainted. This clerical outcry had in effect. The Enlist shareholders believed that the Soot& were a wool of bigots, who must be humoured. The closing of the line was carried by a small majority, bat when the has were scrutinised it was discovered that the majority of Scottish shares was on the other side, so that the prooreding exhi bited the phmeemenon of Englishmen voting for the elegiseda railway on Banda), and fiestolunen voting against it. The next battle wee at the North British Railway, where the Scottish feeling on the subject was allowed to take its natural direction, and the Sabbatariens were beaten by large numbers. They resolved to carry on • new and determined war on tho ground of the Edinburgh and Northern line, and they hoisted that whole presbyteries had become 'hare hoick re for the purpose of voting. But the holders generally consisted of fleotchnien—individuals con nected with the country through which the line paned ; and on a first attempt the AGNEW band were defeated by seven to one ; on a second, it is believed that they had not much more than a twentieth of the votes. While we are writing these remarks we hear that at the hair-yearly meeting of the same company, on the afternoon of Saturday last, another attack was made ander circumstances very unfavourable to the friends of toleration. It is a fixed principle with the Sabbath shiance that no railway meeting shall take place at which they omit to bring forward their great project, however often it may have b en defeated, and however alight may be it- chance of adoption. This policy has at least one chance in its favour—it tires out the indifferent. On the occasion of the Saturday meeting to which we refer, the directors thought the expense of pro. ducing proxies might be , and there was there fore an opportunity foe E lr pa rty having the greater quantity of zeal to give a faLe and exaggerated in- dication of its strength in a personal vote. Though the aft ct of this deceptive influence was aided by the departure of many who had more distaste for Saliba tartan eloquence than zeal foe • tolerant majority, yet we are happy, fur the credit of sound sense in Soot land, to hear that there was a majority of some tour to one against the pharisees. ITALY. Letters from Southern Italy sty that the expedition which sailed from Naples on the 30th had effected • landing at Messina, bet were defeated by the Sici lians. A shell thrown from cue of the Neapolitan vessels 101 l upon an English vessel in the harbour and killed a man. Thereupon it is said that the Sicilian government despatobed an envoy on board a British vessel to the English admiral to demand the aid of the British forces. We have advioes from Leghorn to the 4th. The town cootinned in the power of the people; but all fighting had ceased. A deputation had been sent to Florence to represent the state of the city to the government Meanwhile • sort of committee of public safety, consistingof five citizens, was sprinted. Measures had been taken to insure the continuance of the busirets of the bakers. Great quantities of arms and emmunition were al..° collemed. All departure from the city was interdicted without the special permit of the committee. The night between the 3rd and 4'h had passed tranquilly, the people having sole charge of the town. Sixty soldiers. who bad been imprisoned fur having refused to fire on the people, were liberated. Many others who had deserted to the side of the people refused to return to their corps. It was arranged that Gen. Torres should take the command of the armed citizens in case of another conflict. In consequence of this appointment the committee of public safety had ceased to exercise its functions. GERMANY. FRANKFORT.—We have Frankfort papers of apt 9th. It appears certain that. the question of the armistice hes taken a favourable turn, and the reach of negotiations that have taken place allows ns (says the Coloyne Gazelle in an extraordinary edition) to state con6dtntly that the rej,ction of the armistice is no longer to be feared. As regards the ministerial oriel. nothing hu been settled. PRUSSIA.—The papers from Berlin of the Bth have arrived. The official journal does not breathe a word on the question of Stein's motion, but the Co logne Gazette announces in its extraordinary edition that the Auerswald-Hansemann ministry were about to resign in cons. queuce of the vote of the constituent assembly. This will perhaps lead to a better under standing between Prussia and the central power. AUSTRIA.—The If lener Zeitung of the 6th which has reached us contains no notice of any change in the ministry. A letter from Vienna of the 6th in the Breslau Gazette says, however, that the minister of public works, Von Schwszer, had retired. Herr von Dubblhoff resigns the ministry of the in terior to the :iresent minister of justice, Bach, whose ministry is given to Strobach, president of the diet ; he has, however, refused to accept it. Dobblhoff re tains a post in the ministry of worship or instruction. The ministry of public works would be given to Herr Maier, a deputy of the Frankfort Assembly. The same letter mentions a fact which does not agree with the statement mane a short time since by our core spondent. It says that Batbyany, Estrrhazy, and Desk, had u yet come to no resolution in the Croatian affair. Meanwhile the Bann has taken par session of the navigation of the Danube, and advanced to Bukowar. HESSE-HOMBURO. 7 - Prince Gustavus, land grave of Hesse-Homborg, died on the Bth inst. of apoplexy. He is succeeded by his brother, Prince Ferdinand. MADRID, Starr. 5. It is said that Gen. Pavia is to be replaced by Cop dare, who remains ir erector of infantry, the duties or which post will be discharged by Lersanai during his absence. Brigadier Benz and not Lerrandi, is to command the column destined to act against Pico in La Mancha. Troops are daily lesvirg Madrid in the directions of La Mancha, Cuenca, and Catalonia. Sans will have the mili tary command of the provinces of Talk-do, Cuenca, and Ciudad-Reel. The civic guard also, which was concentrated in Madrid in canrequrnee of the insurrections of March and May, will be re-dispersed through the provinces, resuming their poets from which they were called. Arrow continue. fluor Croc, a leading liberal, was taken yesterday for having been heard to express his intention of signiu a petition :or bringing Count Vista-Hermou to trial in oonseqoence of the infamous penalty he inflicted upon Palacio, in the bull.amph'theatre. At least, this is the pre text assigned by his friends. Barmiento, • commandant in the depot of half-pay officer+ at Alenagro, was arrested an the 31. t and conducted to Madrid. Filly-four political pd. sown had unwed at Cadiz by sea from Valencia. From a statement in the Dierio It appears theyt the re ceipts of the municipality of Madrid from the beckoning of this year te the end of July, have been 112,3971., which would make the annual income of the ayuniuniento little short of 200,0001. From time to time a paragraph appears in the ministerial pipets to hold the public in cheerful expectation u to Mon's finance projects. What these will be is pretty evident. Those who know him best say that he will raise • new forced loan of two millions sterling ; that is double the amount of Orlando's, Roses, Catalonia, baa been occupied by the re publican and Cerlist factions. Letters from Cuenca announce an attempt by a band of 20 insurgents upon Canete. St HELENA, JULY 30. —Tees thAva TRAM.— Prises to the Penelope, Favourite, Heroine, Ferret, and Contest, cruising on the west oust of APO*, have arrived tai bin the present month. Contest's prise had 500 slaves on board, and was captured off Qniunca, on the south coast, on the 7th July last. She war boarded several times on that coast prior to taking in her slaves by the Heroine, Ferret, and Contest, when she had • clean hold and papen as a Portuguese ouster between Benguela and Losado • indeed, but two days before, she was boarded some 80 mile• to the northward of the place where she took in her alms, and war afterwards captured. This shows the great hollity and rapidity with which provisions, water, slave decks. and slaves can now be shipped, and the extraordinary energy with which the traffic is still conducted, notwithstanding the obstacles that our gallant officers and summate so zealously opposing to it. Quicenia bay is a secluded place , come ten miles to the southward of Noes Rotondo, from which 650 slaves were shipped and get clear of the oust the week before the Contest made her appearance there.—The Penelope's prise is the Teresa steam-vessel, of some 60 or 70 hone power with high pressure engines. She was cap need at sea, la the latitude of "Cabinda, and arrived here in charge of Lieut. Howell. She had been as far north as the Gallium, off which coast she was driven by the activity of our Sorely premed in the Bights, too, she attempted to c t l airr n o . fags in her old quarters, the south aces, from which she hid made several notesafal trips, taking as many as 1,000 at a time ; but there she met with bar match in the Pene lope. This is the same venal that beat off the beats of the Siren, in the Congo, in Jan. last. The other prises were empty bet doe noels.

TM& MOUNTAINS OP INDIA.—The mean height of the Himalaya is stupendous, certainly not leas than from 18,000 to 20,000 feet, though the paha esseeding that Man dan are not to be numbered, especially at the swarms of the Sutlej ; indeed, fro that river to the Hales the chile ex hibiie an endless soccereion of the lot deist mountains on earth ; Cony of them surpass the height of Chimborazo, the highest but one of the Ando., and many reach the height of 25,000 feet at least. 8o rugged is this part of the magi. Mutat chain, that the military parade at habathoo, half a mile long, and a quarter of a mile broad, is said to be the only level ground between it and the Tartar frontier on the north, or the valley of Nepaul to the east. Towards the fruitful valleys of Ne pali& and Bhotan the Himalaya is equally loftsome of the nuttntains being from 25,000 to 28,000 fest high, but it is narrower, and the deem t to the plains excessively rapid, especially in the territory of Mots°, where the dip from the table land is more than 10,900 feet in ten miles. The valle)s are crevices so deep and narrow, and the mountains that hang over them in menacing cliffs are so lofty, that these abysses are shrouded in perpetual Ithum, ezeept when the rays of • varietal sun penetrate their depths. From the steepness of the descent the rivers shoot down with the swiftness of en arrow, filling the caverns with foam and the air with mist. At the veep base of this wild region lies rho elevated end peaceful valley of /McKee, vividly green, and shaded by magnificent forests. Another rapid descent of 1,000 feet leads to the plain of the 04ages. • • • • Most of the parses over the Himalaya are bat little lower than the top of Moot &WIC; many are higher, especially near the Butlej, where they are from 18,0001 to 19,000 feet high ; acd that north east of Illicionswur is 20,000 feet above the level of the sea, the highest that has been attempted. AU are terrific, and the fatigue and suffering from the rarity of the air in the last 600 lest is not to be described. Animals are se much dis tressed as human beings, and many die. Thousands of buds perish from the violence 9f the wind ; the drifting mow is often feel to travellers, and violent thunder-storms add to the horror of the i.urery. The Niti pass, by which Mr. ' Kamera% amended to the 'Lewd lake of Manama in Tibet, is tremendous; he and 'fie guide had not only to walk bare footed from the risk of slipping, but they were obliged to creep along the most frigh . ful chasm', holding by twigs and tufts of grate, and sometimes they erased deep and awful crevices on a branch of a tree, or lets, stones thrown across ; yet then are the thoroughfares for calumet.", in the Himalaya, n repaired nor sruc,ptible of im_prow meat, from the frequent landslips and torrents.

FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY, 030 P.N. The candldateahip of Prince Louis Napole.,n for Paris continues to give the most serious uneasiness to the government. The Bonapartiste reckon Kith ter tsinty.on his return. The project of law to annul the votes in Lis favour, which I - alluded to this morning, will it is said be t resented to-morrow. The police, out venturing to obstruct the agents who are posting his addresses throughout the capital, have adopted the expedient of employing other billstiekers to cover them with other 'Bele.; nevertheless, Such activity prevails by the agents of the • that his addresses are every where visible, the opposition of tre government agents bring notorious is serviceable to him rather than otherwise. The report from the Comite de Comptabilite, on the proposition relative to the indemnity to the President of the National Assembly hes been di► tributtd to the members. The committee recom mend, that a supplementary snot of 13,000 f. a month shall be allowed to the President, in order to enable him to give grand fetes, which, like those already given, encourage tricle, and are important in a political point of view, by enabling men of all parties to meet, and by showing that calm and security exist. The Marquis de Edge*le, Ambassador Extraordi nary of Sardinia, has remitted to General Cavaignac the reply of the King of Sardinia to the credentials of M.

Marquis HUAI!, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Tuscany in England, who has been charged with a special mission to the French republic, has been presented by the minister of foreign affairs to General Cavaignac. M. J. do Morcoleta has remitted to the minister of foreign affairs letters accrediting him as chargé d'atfaues of the state of Nicaragua. The C•sedifulionne/ says:—" The recall of M. de Gatine, Governor of Guadeloupe, and his replace wilt by a colonel of marines, have been announced. It is a satisfaction given to the impartial opinion which always expressed its decided disapprobation of the bad choice of the functionaries Lamed by the Provisional Government to guide the social trans formation of our colonies. We are ignorant of the preceding conduct of the new governor; if he has always been an abolitionist, that would be a reason for approving of his nomination. He is a soldier, habituated to discipline, and that leads to the belief that he will know how to maintain order and en sure the respect of the law; he is a European, per sonally a stranger to the passions and prejudices of the localities ; there is, therefore, reason to believe that he will maintain the balance equally between the two classes, and that he wilt not oppress the white race in the name of fraternity and equality." The Democratie Pacsjfgeo says:—" A week ago Vienna had refused the mediation. The French cabinet then inquired from the English ambassador if he had instructions ? 'I shall apply for seine." We have not time to wait. We send the fallowing note to Austria :—" If in 48 hours the mediation is not accepted the French troops shall land at Venice."' During the time that the note was going to Vienna, ioes for embarking took place at Toulon and preparations ea The reply was sent without delay, be ing an acceptance." MONDAY. 11 AAR. The moderate party has united with the govern ment in an effort in the coming election, which is fixed for the 17th and 18th, to defeat the communists and the faubourga The question is not now between the republicans of the eve and the republicans of the morrow, but between those who would sustain property, family, and home, on the one hand, and those who would exterminate society and (failing, to obtain their object) set Paris in flames, on the other. The social war of June has had the effect of binding together parties hitherto disunited by differences merely poliical. During lest evening and the night Paris was tra versed by strong patrols of the national guard and the line. I have not been able to ascertain this morning the cause of this unusual measure. M.

PitoGarai TO BALMORAL The program of her Majesty though the valley of the Dee is fully reported by the Aberdeen lien;ld, fre e which paper we glean the following peracu,.rs: After the magistrates of Aberdeen left the royal petty e a the e onfines of that city, the royal carriages proceeded al .ag the Deeside-road ; the first object of attention being the triumphal arch at Cuparston, when an immo sae creed e i t assembled, and received her Majesty with loud cheering. As the Cults arch the families of the neighbouriug perinea and gentry had met, and when his Map sty passed the whole party adjourned to the wont of Mr. Shine Oath's house, dnu•lk a glass of wine in honour of the occasion, and after., wards adjourned to Cathie Tap, or Morgue, to a hearty br, ak sat with the laird. MUSTLE.—Her Maiesty was d to stop at Matt* and receive fruit and fi urns, for the royal children, (row the Misses Thurber'', of that place. Th.. fruit was dis played in bwkets, as her Majesty approached, when she ins. medtately gave orders to :he drivers to stop, received the gift from the ladies, asked their names, and passed Ca a oidst the acclamations of the spectators. Opposite the llurile gate an arch was formed of tall pine trees, front which were suspended wreaths o' evergreens, surmounted by a crown, compel d of natural H avers. BANCtiOaS.—As soon as it became known that her Ma. jesty and Prince Albert had resolved to visit their new residence at Balmoral preparations of an eat. nein and mag. niflcent nature were immediately commenced in hono ur of their progress through Upper Banchory. All the me. clanics in to district were set to work erectirg spacious platforms and triumphal arches, and . very gardener in the country lint his services in aid of the fl rat decorations. No eapense or trouble was spared in order to render the prey'. rations suitable to the ocarion of a royal visit; and, all all the movements received the hearty co. operation of the aria. tocr.cy, every facility was afforded for accomplishing the end which the county had is view. Oa the Km estate of the county on which her Meisel, entered, els., that dab. Kinluch, of Park, there was erected, opposite his gate, a triumphal arch, surmounted by fes:onns of heather. Over the turopike•road, in the vicinity of Crean, the seat of Sir T. Burnett, l.rd lieutenant of the county, stood a royal arch, with pilasters at each lids, all decorated with flowers and ever greens. At the entrance to the beautiful village of Banchory was erected a triumphal arch of gieautic dimensions, composed entirely of heather, and surmounted by a figure of the Bri tish crown, 6 feet high, cy 64 feet wide, formed of dahlias or every variety, and other variegated flowers. The centre arch, and also the two side ones, were wreathed round with bouquets of flowers, and surmounted with two lir.4e bamen bearing inscriptions. At the west end of the village stood another triumphal arch, composed of evergreens and flowers, and sera 'tinted by Princes' Feathers, Union Jacks, and two banners. In front of the Burnett Arnie lon, where the royal party changed horses, spacious hustings were erected for the acoommodation of the gentry of the county. These were carpeted, surrounded with crimson cloth, and flanked at the coning with Union Jacks. On both aides of the street, and a little to the eastward of the inn, two large platforms were erected capable on accammodatiog about 600 spaceman, along with the Banchory band. At the distance of about 100 yards above the village an arch was erected by Mr. Skein, • farmer, Kiaeskie. It connoted entirely of oats, barley, and wheat, so neatly arranged that th e ears only were visible, and bore the m •tto " Peace and Plenty." About a mile and a half above the village, and close by the porter's lodge of Inchmarlo, another triumphal urch was erected, covered with heath, inlaid with moss, and fee mooed with flowers and at the distance of shoat • mile further onward, and in full view of the mansion of Blackball, stood another triumphal arch, erected under the auspices of H. Ross, Esq. This arch was composed entirely of stags' heads with splendid antlers At each side of the arch was • pedestal, surmounted by two of the sons of H. Ross, Req., in fuL Highland costume, end holding each a hound by the collar, and at the bottom of the pedestals were two Highlander in their native garb, bearing a flagstaff and banner. Prince Albert, in posing Mr. Rem 's arch of stags' heads, was heard to say, " What a beautiful displas 1" Early in the day a large concourse of spectators, numbering from four to five thousand, assembled in the vil lage, to wait the arrival of the royal party. Nothing could surpass the order and protriety manifested by this large as semblage. At about • quarter to 11 o'clock the royal car riage, oontaininsi her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the three rnyal children, _drove up, and stopped in front of the inn. Sir George Grey then introeuced Sir Thomas Burnett, lord lieutenant of the county, to the Queen and Prince Albert, who presented a loyal address from the nobility and gentry of the county, which was most graciously received. The Queen thanked Sir Thomas Burnett for the reception, and expressed herself very much struck with the beautiM scenery of the district. We may notice, as an instant's of the condescension of her Majesty, that, owing to the hazy state ot the weather in the early part of the day, the royal e having been shut when it arrived in front of the fn ar n r , ia le Queen good naturedly directed it to be laid open, as as to gratify the anxious eyes of the spectators with a eight of their severer. The amemblap, by their rapturous de monstrations o loyalty, testified how highly they appreciated this act of kind condescension on the part of her Majesty. After remaining in the village emit 12 minutes, and chang ing horses, the royal cortege moved on amidst the meama. duos of the assembled multitude. POTASCII.—At Potanth bridge, where tradition lays it down that the founder of the family of " Caird Young" took his astounding, leap and eluded his pursuers, a large gothic, arch was thrown across the road, at the romantic spot where the richly wooded hill, clothed with foliage to the sum mit, rises on one side, and on the other the river, seen at glimpses through the thick copeewood, is formed into various noisy rapids by the rocky bed in which it is confined. The arch, composed of • tasteful selection of evergreens, and a variety of the heather bloom, and other wild plants of the district, was surmounted by an elegant crown, formed of • choice flowers, and having two beontrs, on one of which were the letters V. and A , and on the other the words, " Welcome, Queen of the Highland Home!" Near the arch, and on the wooded hank, a gallery of seats was erected, on which•• I;r a t ec larty greeted her Majesty and the royal cortige as they AIIOI7II.—At twelve o'clock the royal party arrived at Alwyn,. The party alighted here, remained for twenty minutes, and lunched, Lady Aboyne attending on her Ma. ; jesty. An elegant foot-cloth, of Gordon tartan, had been • prepared for her Majesty to week on from her carnage to the ina. Immediately after lunch the cortege left for %Eater. Boutarnt was reached at half-past one, where, se at Aboynethe reception of the royal party was most eetbusi sate. Their approach was duly announcid by the booming of canton on the height of Cairndarroch. An immense se semblage of the inhabitants and summer residents and neighbouring gentry were dressed in full Highland coated*. This party attracted the attention of the Quern and Irr consort. The latter beckoned one of the hardy clansmen to .he side of his carriage, and question. .d him as to the sept he belonged to. Several gentlemen hal the honour of paying their respects to the prince, and were most kindly received. Alter a stoppage of about ten minutes, or rather as soon as the horses were changed, they set of at a rapid ' paw, Creasing the bridge, and taking the south side of the river, sod, notwithstanding the uneven nnture a the ground, the journey of nine oe ten mile. was performed in little more than an hoar, bringing her Majesty to Btlmuret about a quarter to three o'clotk. At Cathie, about a mile a..d a half on this side of Balmoral, the last puolic demonstra tion took place. As u usl there lite an arch, and in large letter the phrase, " Wdrome to your Higti'and home, Vie toria and Albert.' At Balmoral itself thee.: was nothing like ostentation. !nosed, beyond Citable there was little interruption of the wonted solitude of toe place. In the courts of twenty minutes alter the arrival of her Ma jesty the detachment at .he 93rd Highlanders who were pre sent to receive her Majesty were on their way to tie. ir pre sent head-quarters, the old Castle of Braemar; and, heyciad the servants end a few Londe. policemen, to warn off over inquisitive intr.:des, there was nobody left to disturb the pnvecy which the royal party wish to enjoy. The bedtime of Balmoral is the better insured that all the Dewitt: trains is on the other bank of the river.
