(Mr. L. L. Smith) was fol:owed by the withdrawal of the ' Later from the assembly, and s. fresh appeal to his consti tuents. He was opposed by Mr. Richard M'Clure, a gentle man who was a candidate for the seat at the last general doctioa. The cry with which Mr. Smith appealed to his ..,,suituents, that of "The Ministry r. L L. Smith." found favour in the eyes of the " wild wood carters of Num. waaing," and he wu returned by a considerable majority. The question of the defences of the colony still remains unsettled. It wu hoped that the subject would loog be. lore this have been discussed by the legislature, and that some definite plan of operations would have been resolved upon, but other business has stood in the way : and now the ministerial crisis will cause a further postponement of the matter. There have recently been further important discoveries of coal in the colony, as well as of an in exhaustible supply of green stone. It has bees found from recent boring in the lands leased by the Victorian Coal Company at Cape Paterson, that there is an additional seam of coal three feet thick running through the company. ground at a depth of 111 feet from the surface. This vein is the thickest sod deepest which the company have yet found. From a statement made by Mr. Daffy io the assembly not long ago, it also appears that Mr. M'llonald, an aseistanteuirveyor, has found a seam of coal on the road from Melbourne to Gipps Land—the meet northern vein of coal yet found in the colony, and a sample of it was laid on the table of the parliamentary library. For a long time past there has not been so much life and activity among the miners so during the last few weeks. (Doe rush after soother has quite dispelled the dulness so long prevalent on the gokl.tields, and we have now several in progress together ; so that, instead of not having any new ground to go to, the miners are at present puzzled to know which of the new places offers the most attraction. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oua OWN comusspoKonn.) PARIS. FRIDAY EVIAING. The Florida, just arrived at St. Nazaire, has brought news from Vera Cruz to July 17—a week later than the original advisee of the Archduke Maximilian's election. It appears that after Mar shal Forey's couple of hundred "Notables" had spoken in the name of the Mexican nation, some kind of an electoral farce to sanction their decision was gone through in the city of Mexico. The bare statement now before us is that, by a popular vote —it does not appear how constituted and taken, and, sooth to say, it matters very little-10,241 voices against 250 declared that all that the Notables had done was rightly done. It is admitted that the French troops have still plenty of work cut out for them in this country which is represented as unani mously desirous of having the archduke for an Emperor, or, if not, anybody else that the Emperor Napoleon may be good enough to send to reign over them. An expedition has been organ ised against Minatitlan to prevent the introduction of contraband of war at that point. The French troops engaged on this service are facetiously styled "counter-guerillas." The city of Tampico, which it will be remembered was formerly taken by the French and then abandoned, is now in the posses sion of a Mexican general named Gazza, who is fortifying it, and the French are going to besiege him. Juarez, who it was pretended had fled the country, is still at San Luis Potosi, bat the writers of the despatches concocted for circulation in France hope that he will go away "before very long." General Ortega, the defender of Puebla, is in command of the state of Zacatecas, and it is complained that "he is very severe towards foreigners." General Doblado, who com mands the state of Guanajato, is said to have offered to recognise the French intervention on condition that no French troop's should occupy his district ; but Marshal Forey refused this condi tion, and therefore it stands admitted that Dob lado is still in a state of hostility. As a matter of course it is alleged that the health of the occupying force is excellent ; but, there being "some cases" of yellow fever at Vera Crux the 143 passengers on board the Florida are kept in strict quarantine at St. Nazaire. An English brig, baring 10,000 muskets on board and other munitions of war, has been seized by a French vessel in the Matamoras waters. This event is said to have produced a " lively impression." Drouyn de Lhuys is going to a German watering-place, and M. Billault will take the port folio of Minister of Foreign Affairs ad interim The following communique bearing upon the pub lie health in Paris has been addressed to the Union Medicak : The Union Medicole, in its number of August 11, eoatains erroneous statements concerning maladies now prevailing in Paris. Diarrhoea and dysentery are always common at this time of the year, when the consequences of extreme heat are aggravated by drinking sod eating fruit. There is, how ever, nothing abnormal in these diseases this year. There is never a year without some isolated cases of cholera ; op to the present time only two instances are known of this disease with an epidemical character. With regard to typhus fever, it is true that a good many cases have occurred, bat it is incorrect to say that they are deadly ; on the contrary, medical men are agreed that, generally speaking, the type of the malady is singularly mild. In the Is RiboisCre Hospital, where, according to the writer of the article, there has been a mortality of fifty per cent., the fact is that out of thirty-three cases of typhus there have been only five deaths. It is much to be regretted that a journal which has the means of being well informed should heedlessly publish statements calculated to alarm the population. Aa communigugs do not probably command uni versal assent on your side of the water, I think it as well to add that in the present case I believe the official statement to be well founded. As tar as I know, the health of Path, notwithstanding the extreme heat, is very good. A little yacht, built at Havre for the Emperor and Empress, and intended for excursions on the Seine, was tried last evening between Paris and St. Cloud. This vessel is christened the Pu.:bla. SIR JOHN TRELAWNT AND HIS CON STITUENTS. Sir John Trelawny, Bait, M.P., in accordance with his annual custom, delivered no address on Thurs day, at the Bedford Hotel. Tavistock, on the business of the parliamentary session. Elie speech included • very wide range, bat the main points may be briefly stated. He wished to see the franchise given to the Otte of the working classes—to houeeholders, bat the reflection of public events furnished no prospect of any measure of advanced reform. The purchase of the Exhibition building would have commenced an un limited expenditure, therefore be voted against it; and he opposed the Galway and Dover mail contracts as corrupt proposals designed to curry favour. Sir John Trelawny entered at much length into his reasons for disapproving Mr. Somes's Public-house Bill, urging that to compel the working classes to drink sour beer on Sun day@ was • soar doctrine indeed. If that had passed, places of recreation for the denizens of alleys must have been at once thrown open. With reference to enmity rates, the hon. member for Tavietock urged that the..." who paid the money should control the expenditure, and that woodlands and mines should not be exempted. The revision of the liturgy, the sale of benefices, and cognate subjects, were touched upon; and in speaking of the question of church flies, Sir John said that he thought it undesirable that it should be again raised in the present parliament, sea canoe was injured by being incessantly brought forward, and he would leave the conduct of the contest for the future to younger ono. THE BRAEMAR. GATHERING.— Great preparations are making at Mar Lodge for the Braemar Gathering, at which the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected this year to be present. The Earl of Fife has ordered the clans to &swear at the family mansion for an inspection of the garbs, and the men are to commence drill this wrek. The Parquhmon Highlanders will likely muster upwards of 100 strong altogether it is thought that toe display will be such as has not occurred since the Stet visit of her Majesty to Decode.—Caledonian Mercury. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1863: LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fano.) • IN RE TOE ANGLO•PRENC/1 TRADING COMPANY (LIMITED). This matter was recently before the court for the settle ment of the list of contributories. A person named Dunlop, shipping agent, of Southampton, was placed on the list; h e appealed, and the Lord Chancellor was of opinion that be ought never to have been placed on the register, and said that if he could discover who plsecd those names there he would direct a public prosecution. The nuns being on the register the commissioner could not do otherwise than place it on the list of contributories ; but the Lord Chancellor erased it, and gave costs against the company. Mr. It. Griffiths now applied to the court to order pay ment of the costa. Notice had been given to Mr. Stanfield, the official liquidator, and to Mr. Harrison. his solicitor. Mr. Harrison said the matter before the Lord Chancellor was a substantive motion to remove the name from the register, not from the list of contributories only. Mr. Dunlop ought to have made this application before to a court of competent jurisdiction, and theta he would not have been placed on the hat of contributories at all. Hu Honour glee the costs. IN HE JOHN WAHD.7JUDGNENT. . . . The bankrupt, a shoemaker, of Goswelf:street, recently applied for his order of discharge. His Honour now gave judgment. He said the bankrupt had been opposed on the hearing by Mr. Sargood, on behalf of a person named Dresser ; but it was not easy to make out his ground of complaint. It appeared that he bad discounted live of the bankrupt's acceptances ; and he alleged that on the discounting of the fourth bill the b4nit rupt represented that he should shortly receive an amount, the result of some law proceedings, which would enable him to meet the whole of the bills; and it was contended that this representation was made for the purpose of deception. This wu not made out to the s►tisfaction of the court, and the bankrupt would therefore have his order of discharge. IN HE WV. THORPE. The bankrupt was a messenger in • government office, residing in Bryaostone•treet, Portman-square. Debts VOL Mr. Ooodday, for the official assignee, said be found that the bankrupt had an interest in a house and furniture in Bryacetone-square, which was settled on his wife. In the event of ber death he would be entitled to the property. An undertaking being given to furnish a copy of the settlement, the order was granted on that condition being complied with. The bankrupt wu a baker, olHonileydown. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Mr. Dowse opposed for the assignee. It appeared that the bankrupt bad disposed of his business shortly before his failure to a journeyman named Bothinder, but had conti nued on the promisee, the business being apparently carried on the same as before. He had some land in Germany, on which he had given a mortgage to &dander, avowedly to prevent its being taken by Lis creditore. His Honour directed an adjournment for a goods and cash amount. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISORACIFUL CONDUCT IN THS STEERS. Henry Williamson, a clerk, who gave the address 25, Remington-street, City-road, was charged before Mr. Koon with dusgraceful conduct to several females, sad also with assaulting Mr. J►mes Kean, a tailor, residing at 53, Mad dos-street, Regent : street. . . fdr. Betio said that he was turning the corner of Little Argyll.street about 10 o'clock the previous night, when he saw the prisoner go up toe respectable female and seize her in a most improper manner, turning her quite round. He followed the prisoner, and before he gut to the end of Argyll,street he saw him assault in a similar manner sin more females, one of them an elder woman. He then seized the prisoner, and said, " You scamp, you shall not go unpunished," and had a severe struggle with him, in the course of which his coat sleeve was torn, and he was struck twice and thrown down by the prisoner, but, being determined that he should not escape, he retained his hold, and at last the risoner was secured and taken to the t station•house. Thefemales did not go to the station, being too frightened at the prisoner's conduct, and glad to get Poliee-coustable Joseph Kettlewell, 3.4 C, aid that bear ing cries of "Police," he went to Argyll•Ntreet, and the List witness gave the prisoner in charge for iodeoently assaulting females and assaultiog hint (Mr. Kean). The prisoner denied the charge, but when at the station told the impactor that be had only raised the females' clothes about two inches. Prisoner said that all be bad got to say waa that he was drunk as the time, and was now very sorry. Mr. Knox said that if the females had been present be should have sant the prisoner for trial for his abominable conduct. As it was he should treat the came as one of drunkenness and disorderly cooduct, and inflict open him the highest penalty he could, namely, 401., or a mouth. GREENWICH. ROBBERIES BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT. - - Jane Francis, a young WOlll/40 eogsged as housemaid in the family of Mr. S. Lewes, of Brunswick-cottage, Upper Lewisham-reed, was brought up on remand charged with robbing her master. It appeared that tee prisoner bad only been in the service of the prosecutor about a fortnight, the character received with her being favourable as to her qualifications ire • ser taut, excepting so far as regarded temper. This fault early displayed itself. as on the fifth day after entering upon her situation her mistress had such occasion to find fault with 1 her for quarrelling with soother servant that she was ' offered ► month's ward to leave, together with the same character that had been received with her, and told that if she remained and was discharged at the end of that time she would then only have the character her conduct warranted. She determined upon remaining, and a few days afterwards nine oat of twelve bottles of wine, which bad been placed in the pantry for • particular purpose, were found to have been emptied. On the following day another examination was made of the wine, sad it was then discovered that one of the full bottles, which had been previously seen. bad been taken away. The prose cutor then put himself in communication with the police, and on returning to his home with Police constable Watson, 124 It, who remained outside, he found that one of the two bottles of wise he bad only just previously left cafe, had disappeared in • like mysterious ! manner. The constable Watson was then called in, and he questioned the prisoner and another servant Si to whether they knew anything of the missing wine. They both denied any knowledge of it, but finding that the place was about being searched, the prisoner r.W she knew where it was, and would fetch is, and she produced a bottle of wine from behind a chest of drawer§ in her bed room. The constable then looked behind the chest of drawers, and found two empty wine bottles. The prisoner's boxes sod her bed were subsequently searched in her presence, and a large number of articles belonging to the prosecutor, Including a dressing came, a box containing new silver coins, silk handkerchiefs, loc., were found. Thereupon she wu given into custody. . _ _ Mrs. F. S. Atkins, of 59, Easton-square, and Mrs. Irving, of 18, Caritoo.road, Hilburn, in whose service the prisoner had formerly beeo, also identified property found in the prisoner's possession. She was fully committed for triaL TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION AT BT. HELEN'S.— On Thursday evening • terrific boiler explosion, attended by personal injuries which may result fatally, occurred on the premises of Messrs. Doulton Brothers, potters, St. Melia'. At • few minutes before eight o'clock the ,engine was at work grinding clay, end suddenly, without the slightest warping, one of three boilers that are used on the premises burst with a terrific explo sion. The shock was felt in distant parts of the town, and, as may naturally be sup , the occurrence created oonsiderable alarm. The boiler was about 30ft. !nog and Eft. diameter. It was riven into several pieces, and one of them, probably the largest, was carried into the air, and passing over the pottery wall, alighted against • house occupied by an old woman, named Pye, in Potteryatreet. In the flight of the boiler part of the pottery wall wan knocked down, sod Mrs. Pres house wall was broken in. The window, were smashed, and damthe was ale° done to adjoining premises. At th e time the accident happeool, Mrs. Pve's daughter, • girl about IS yearn old, was seated at the door sewing. She was throws under the brickwork and the debris, and so frightfully mangled that it is doubtful whether she will recover. She was removed to an adjoining cottage, and shortly afterwards noderwent au amputation of the right leg. A man named Patrick Lyons, employed in Messrs. Doane/ea works, wee also severely hurt. Several other people were also injured by the flying bricks- A second portion of the boiler flew a distance of 50 yards in an opposite direction to Mrs. Pye's house. The yard presented a confused specticle. The flying &lifts had bruised and otherwise damaged the buildings. and the boiler-house and sheds were • complete wreak. The boiler was a new one, sod had only been down about six mouths. and as there is good reason to believe that it bus exploded for want of water, it is supposed that some of the valves were not in good working order. —Manchester Guardian. ALARMING ACCIDENT AND MIRACULot;II Eocene& —Ao accident of a very alarming character occurred on Tuesday at the bridge oo the Douglas Railway, at present in course of erection over the Clyde. A workmen named Alexaadsr Watson was on a scaffold when one of the holds gave way, sod he and the scaffold together were precipitated to the ground from a height of about 49 feet. Watson bad one of the wooden boons in his arum at the time, and was going down bead foremast when, providentially, the sod of the beam reached the ground first, tilting him over on the one side, and thus saving his life. Although severely bruised and thakeo he is doing weiL Another men who was on the scaffold at the same time caught hold of a crossbeam over his head and remained suspended in the air uotil he was dragged up by ammo of his fellow-workmen, who were luckily near at hand- Watson is the third men who has fallen off this bridge since it was begun.—Edinburga Courant.

Sir Lucelles %liras&ll is engaged (says the Athe ;mu rn) iu writing, partly from his family papers, "A Life of Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark." The subject is one of romantic interest; and Sir Lascelles's grandfather is likely to have known a groat deal about it. Next year (observes the Atheneum) will be Shake pears's year ; and the Avehreological Institute have very wisely chosen Warwick as the seat of their next Con grew. The Rev. Mr. Hartaboine has undertaken to get up the story of Kenilworth Castle, and Prof. Willis that of Coventry Cathedral. Stratford will, of course, be one of the main excursions, and the recent repairs of the parish church, the tomb of Shakspeare, will come under the notice of a very critical and learned audience. A new series of experiments (says the Army and Navy Gazette) will be carried on on an extended scale at Newhaven by the Ordnance Select Committee, for the pur pose of testing the fuses submitted by Colonel Boxer. Superintendent of the Laboratory Department, together with some other fusee which have been laid before them. Until these trials are completed, and a better lase obtained, the committee have recommended a return to the compo sition of the late Captain Mooreom, which has so long stood the test of actual service without serious deterioration. -- WILL OF THE LATE SIR GEORGE Lzwiff.—The will of the Right Hoe. Sir George Commall Lewis, Bart., D.C.L. M.P., P.C.. of Hariton Court, sear Rad nor' South Wales, and Kent House, Kstightsge, was proved in London by his brother, the Rev. Sir Gilbert Freakland Lewis, M.A., Canon of Worcester. rand dean, And rector of Mothington-on-Wye, Herefordshire, the sole executor. The personal property was sworn under 20,0001. The testator has bequeathed to his wife, Lady Maria The resa Lewis, beyond her marriage settlement, all bia property in British. foreign, and colonial securities, for her own absolute use, also his town residence, Kent House, with the furniture and other effects; but, as respects jewellery, Sir George directs that the diamonds presented to her Isdyship by the late baronet's father, the Right Hon. Sir T. F. Lewis, Bart, shall, upon her ladyship's decease, become the pro party of his (the testator's( brother, the successor to the title and estates, whom he Ina appointed residuary I..tee of both his real and personal property. The will bears date the 9th of December, 1801, and is attested by B. Charles Stephenson, War-office, and F. J. Nicholl, Carey street—lllustrated News. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL—The friends of University College Hospital will have:the satisfaction of learning from an advertisement that the needs of the institution are not lost sight of during the vacation. We allude to the munificent donation of 3001. received yester day from an unknown Day. EMIGRATION FROM SOUTH WALLY. —The en& gratioo from all parts of South Wales, mom especially from the coal and iron districts, continues, and, judging from the large numbers that leave weekly, there is no ' prospect of a cessation at the movement. Paddlers, coition, and others employed about the coal and iron works form the majority of the emigrants. and by far the greater number emigrate to the States. The extent of the emigre tion may be inferred from the tact that one ironwork is at present short of 400 bands. ALPINE CLIMBING. —A correspondent of the Tinos ouggesta, in reference to this subject, that the chief of the Society of Guides at Chamouniz should as• that every wan is properly equipped before the ascent is at tempted. He adds —" They are very careless of them selves. I saw myself, last month, no less than five men frost-bitten, one or two severely so. Lees of heeds or feet is, in such case, loss of their means of livelihood. With proper precaution this may be avoided. In the Arctic Sons, under the judicious management of our officers, men re turned to their ships, alter 9J days absence (with the ther- moweter seldom above zero), without • single instance of front-hits. Surely Hoot Blanc is to be ascended without' the suffering I have witnessed." THE PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN TRAVERS AND DILLOS. —A statement has been published that Travois has died from injuries received in his recent light with Dillon. Bell's Lift of to-day contains no confirmation of this ; on the contrary, it says that Travers, though he was obliged to remain in the country for two or three days in conse quence of his injuries, returned to London yesterday. It also says that the disputed stakes, namely, 4001., have been awarded to Dillon. - - EXTRAORDINARY DEPRAVITY. shocking cane of juvenile depravity came before the magistrate (Mr. Rose), at Fenton policipeourt, Longton, yesterday. Five youths and boys —one 19, another 17, and three about 14 vein of age—named William Bryan, James Ridge, William Heath, Frederick Lockett, and David Lockett, were brought up under a warrant charged with criminally amenities Mary Ann Hales, a girl of eleven, the daughter of • baker living in Russell-street. Mr. Stevenson ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Adderley for the defence. The evidence is totally unfit for publication. On the application of Mr. Adderley, the prisoners were remanded to Wednesday. —Binning/um Post. ORTRTAL PALAU*.

Decrease /30,000 .. • Ade:Laces' oa r public securities 1,066:666 These changes are not wholly of an unfavourable character ; for, although the coin and bullion and the private deposits have declined, the amount of the decrease under the former head is not so heavy as it has been of late, while the encouraging fea ture is at the same time presented of a contraction to the extent of 1,003,0001. sterling in the bank's advancos to the Bourse. The movement in the dis counts also indicates diminished pressure on the part of the commercial community. The announcement in the Madrid telegrams of the issue of the royal decree dissolving the Cortes may render it of interest to remark that by the constitution of Spain the new Cortes must meet within three months from the date of the act of dissolution. Its approaching meeting will be looked forward to with peculiar interest by the holders of Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, as well as by all who wish well to Spain, and who regret to soe her moral and material progress re tarded by her present financial policy.

THE IitARYT IN Fewer.—A letter from Alex sadrOi says :—" The corn harvest has terminated in Egypt, and it is generally satisfactory and superior in quantity to that of last year.

GOLD IN CANADA.—We were yesterday (says the Quetee Chronicle of the 22nd ult.) shown some specimens from the gold regions of the Chauiliere of • most respe,e, able nuggety character, one piece weighing four image and • half and another about three and a half. Dr. Reed, in whose possessioo these specimens of the precious metal were, informs us that over ten thousand dollars worth of gold has been taken during the present year from the property of George Deliberate, Esq., alone. We hear also that much larger nuggets than those we saw have been found. ODD of these valuable lumps, weighing some (+mices over a pound. is said to be in the possession of au Individual who. doubting his own right of posessitho, the gold having been found on private property, does not choose to acknowledge the fact. This region is likely to become celebrated as • gold field. Another Quebec journal alas stated as follows regarding this recent discovery of gold :—" It will scarcely be credited that we Imes a California almost at our doors ; yet it is nevertheless a fart that in the eeiguiory of Vaudreuil and on the tributaries of the river Chandler°, about 50 mil :s from Quebec, gold is found in abundance. One nugget cf pure gold, worth la slols. per ounce, and weighing 1410., was picked up in the bed of one of these streams. which at this season eat the year is almost dry. Another nugget, weigh ing 9 onne-s, nod also pure, from the same region, was die. posed of in town this week. It is said that about 20,000 dollars worth of gold has been gathered there this season. Ooe man raiding near the locality has is his pouresioo • gallon full of the ',whine met din pieces of all size. Since the golden taws has leaked out people have been docking to the diggings in crowds, and no doubt m.ioy will realise bawl:ion:a sums."
