LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 6. A G€recut. impression seems to prevail in well in farmed circles that the Turkish question is likely to be pacifically settled by the timely intervention of the four Great Powers, who feel that they have a common in terest in resisting any violent disturbance of the ex isting status quo. England and France have already evinced in concert an active solicitude on behalf of the Porte; Austria and Prussia have hitherto maintained an attitude of reserve, owing, doubtless, to the greater intimacy of their Courts with that of St. Petersburg, and, it must be added, a greater sympathy between their statesmen and those of Russia. /tut with all the unwillingness of German Princes and politicians to incur the distrust or enmity of a Potentate to whom they are fain to look as their most reliable defender whenever they go wrong in the estimation of their own people, and their surest ally in case of any aggression upon their territories from without—it is impossible for them to behold unmoved the outbreak of a struggle, which, once begun, will inevitably involve all Europe in its coo sequences, and cause them, however sincerely averse they may be to war, sooner or later to be ins. untried in all its perils and calamities. Louis NAPO• 160 N has made no secret of the course which .he proposes to pursue in case of any attempt by Russia at territorial aggrandisement; and Prussia is Soo neatly and tee deeply eoecerned in any retalia tory movement which France may make, either on Belgium or the Lower Rhine, to spare any efforts within her power to avert the provocation. Prussia may care little for the independence of Turkey on its own scorant ;but the self-interest of that country L directly and intimately involved in the integrity of the Ottoman Empire by her proximity to France. For eight-and-thirty years the Rhenish provinces have acknowledged the sway of the House of BRANDENBURG ; but let the Treaties of 1815 be once torn up, and who shall say how long the Rhine provinces will continue a portion of the Prussian nionarchy ? So likewise with Austria, who is com pelled to bold down Italy with one band and Hun gary with the other. What must her position be in the event of a general war? Or where could she And allies or resources adequate to so fearful an exi gency as she would find herself placed in ? What ever dreams of acquisition in Bosnia or Herzegowina Austrian statesmen may have cherished in more torpid times, and however anxious they may still be to isolate Hungary from all contact on her south eastern frontier with an independent power, the present feverish state of that country, as well as of Northern Italy, paralyses at Vienna all thoughts of such ambition. The influ ence of Prince MarrEntsicu is once am felt in the councils of the valetudinarian empire, slid the wary and astute veteran has throughout his long cue.: consistently held, under every vicissitude, to his early maxim that there was no bribe or terri tory or treasure that Russia could offer which ought to induce Austria to assist her is acquiring a perma nent footing south of the Danube. Thus every motive of present need combines with those of set tled policy to render Austria desirous of seeing the tire extinguished in her neighbour's house, lest haply some chance spark may fall upon the rodf of her own. Using their good office* in concert, the four 'Powers can hardly fail of being successful in tip projected work of mediation. They have, in fact, far higher claim upon the returning sense and reason of the CZAS than that of powerful and experienced advisers. They are themselves deeply interested, though in different degrees, in the peaceful solution of the question ; and they have a right to interpose in alfriendly tone of authority and remonstrance not to be disregarded. It is probable, indeed, that troops may have been moved ere this upon the frontiers, or .may even have entered the Danubian principalities ; or, if seek demonstrations have not yet actually taken place, that within the present week we may hear of their occurrence. But we shall not on that account forego our belief in the efficacy of ,the joint interposition of the Western and Central Towers. The arrogant temper of a baffled despot :may impel him to execute certain preliminary por .tions of the:violence he menaced before the reaction 'of reason can set in on such a mind ; and it is also -possible that men of cooler heads around him may epaulets upon being able to obtain lase humiliating terms for their disappointed master, by affecting to treat' u though Moldavia and Wallachia were already reduced by conquest into possessing as Muscovite provinces. too in like mas on we need not be startled at hearing that the ocasbined fleets of France and Eng land have been invited by a special fir awn to pew the Derdanelles. But notwitbstand- 1 ing these or any similar mandestatioos on the one aide or the other, we shall continue in our belief that the independence and integrity of Turkey is secure. The public opinion of France and Eng land has pat its veto upon the rapacious projects of the Autocrat; and however he may bluster or fume, he will not in the end dare to resist their decree. His Generals may, in violation of the esta blished usage and law of nations. cross the Pruth and weepy the undefended towns and villages of a neighbour who has neither given him offence nor justitichtion for such an outrage, by act, word, or deed; bat, like the invading haste of the tyrant of old, by the way that they came by the same shall they return, without being suffered to encamp round the manacled city, or to direct a single missile against its walls. Twebe is to be a record . of the Great Exhibition. Future generations me not to be without a memorial of tbe great deeds of English and continental industry in the nineteenth century. Hitherto we have bur dened the soil with trophies of military achievements; we are now going to erect a lasting monument of the still more marvellous deeds which are the pro ducts of the arta of peace. The must original and the most beautiful erection of modern times—an erection which would have been impossible in any other country than this, where manufacturing skill is at a maximum, and where the capital employed in manufactures is so great that it shrinks from no enterprise, however gigantic—this erection, although removed from Hyde-park, is to be commemorated there. The gorgeous collection of everything rich and rare that the wit of man could imagine and the industry of man effect, although scattered, is net to be lost to memory. That astound ing spectacle of hundreds of thousands of working mei assembled under tLe largest roof ever erected, geeing quietly upon the miracles that they and their brethren bad performed. is to be kept for ever fresh in the remembrance of man by a fitting memo- Ilia The great workers, the own of thought, the inventors, the manufacturers, the labourers are at last to see their deeds solemnly commemorated bb a grateful country. A committee of ieblemen ami Ir oise gentlemen have taken the thjag4 hand. 744 have given the subject themostmetleas cons iqn, and on Saturday held Otteregiaspeith a in the chair (everything gees -: Olf so oracle, better with a nobleman in the chair). They made delightful speeches, and decided that the manufacturing triumphs of English work men will be most fitly celebrated by putting up —a statue of a Norman King made by an Italian sculptor. Note the admirable, the exquisite, fitness of this decision. The Crystal Palace was built and filled to show what manufacture and commerce cereal do. It was an illustration of the beautiful lines of COWPER, which the Committee of the Great i Industrial Exhibition in Dublin have so appropriately placed at the beginning of their catalogue : The band of eommeree was designed T' associate all the branches of mankind ; And if a boundless plenty be the robe, Trade is ate golden girdle of the globe. Yet the triumphs of trade are to be celebrated by the statue of a Norman crusader. RICHARD L, who in Ins heart scorned trade and traders with a depth of contempt of which moderns can have little concep. tion, is idealised and pat into bronze as the best memorial of the deeds of tradesmen. Try to imagine how CtEUR DE LION himself would have looked at any one hardy enough to prophesy that he should one day serve as a mark to chronicle the labours of handicraftsmen. If the grim king could rise from his grave, and be told of the use the gentlemen who met on Saturday, at Willis's Rooms, are going to make of him, it is probable that no office in London would effect an insurance on the life of a single member of the committer—if said offices knew CtEUS. DB Ltotes Norman notions about trade. That the Baron Msoocarrn's statue was a work of great merit there is no intention to deny. At the same time there can be no doubt that there were several works by British sculptors equally merito rims, although not quite so large. What can be the meaning, then, of making a selection which places other, and particularly native artists, in an invidious position, and which at the same time is the very worst that could have been made when its fitness for the purpose is considered. Any sensible per son, with no prejudices to lead him astray, if asked what statue would have been the most adapted as a memorial of the Exhibition, would have answered, one of WATT or ARKWRIGHT, Or STEVENSON or JACQUARD. " Idextinguishable laughter" would have followed the proposal of setting up a statue of Cliult ne Lunt for such a purpose. The committee themselves can scarcely be considered to have been unconscious of the absurdity of their proposition. The proposed statue, then, being no better than many others, and utterly unfit as a memorial of industrial achievement, we are left to dis cover what can be the other motives which suggested its erection. And there can be no doubt that the sculptor being an Italian had a better chance of having his merits recognised than if he had been an Englishman. We don't wish to set up the cuckoo ory of " native talent." All that is necessary to ob serve here is, that foreign artists in England, by means of their ambassadors, and noblemen of their own country, resident here, have a better chance of recommending their works to the wealthy and the aristocratic than English artists, who have no such introductions. But, if being a foreigner was some thing in the sculptor's favour, being a baron must have been infinitely more so. The apron and the chisel, which would have excluded an ordi nary artist from the saloons of the aristocracy, were no impediment to a man who had baronial blood in his veins. His patrons were at the same time his friends. " Why does papa ask you to dinner, mama says you are only an artist ?" was the question put by a little girl to a well-known painter, in the pre sence of her discomfited mama. Now this question would fall harmless upon the sculptor of Cana DR Llott, who is a Baron every inch of him. Thus there was no difficulty in getting up a right noble committee to do a great deal for the Baron and a very little for the Exhibition. At the first summons of the noble committee, there rush to the place of meeting a tumultuous flock of the gentle and simple who are always at the beck and call of noble committees. The noblemen vote the brother nobleman's statue a noble performance and worthy of being erected somewhere; and, inasmuch as it stood in the people's Exhibition, it shall be said to be a memorial of the people's achievements. It is no matter that this King RICHARD is connected with no portion of our history in which anything was done for the people. Hisao matter that " the people" in the true sense of the word did not exist is his time. It is no matter that the whole spirit of the age was utterly contrary to that of the present. Never mind the in congruity. If we must have noblemen to preside over industrial matters, whit can we expect but that they should act with a fellow-feeling for nobility and Norma royalty t And although there may be a little want of adaptation to circumstances in the ram , lotion the committee have come to, let the middle classes be eternally grateful that their noble Mende l have determined to put up a lasting memorial of the wonders of labour and the miracles of trade in the . statue of a warrior king carved by a noble sculptor. THE Tilliiil COaromm6x.—The corporation of the Trinity How gave their animal banquet, at their bow oa Towne bill, on Saturday evening. His Boyd Highness Prince Albert presided on the occasion as matter of the c orporation, and delivered several appropriate and eloquent addresses- The' Earl of Aberdeen and her Mejesty's ministers, with the Bari of Derby and many other dirtin welshed 'Bobby's' and gentlemen, were of the party. We hope to he enabled to furnish our readers with • report of the peoesedisge in our neat impression. REFUSINTATION OF BTROOD.—(From our Cone spaidess.)-BMsod, Juno 6.—The death of Berl Duels, land the ennewprest elevation of his roc, Lord Moreton, to ' ohs peerage, having sawed a vacuity in the representation of this borough, the plate is again in a rate of political ex citement, and annserene auaidatm are spoken of, but as yet none hag declared himself.. A public meeting of the demon is to be hold te-meerovr (Monday) on the subject of the repreeentation. The last election was hotly contested. Fear candidates were brought forward for the two seats, viz , Mr. gaups (liberal), who sought re-election, Mr. Nor ton (tidied), Lied Moreton (liberal), and Mr. Baker (con servative free-trader). At the claw of the poll the num ber were—Mr. &rope, 665; Lord Moreton, 628; Mr. Baker, 48*; Mr. Norton, 310. The present vacant seat will undoubtedly be contested. Tun New WESTMINSTER BRIDOK.—The Thames Navigation Committee of the City Corporation recommend that the parliamentary bill for sanctioning • new bridge at Westminster be opposed, now that, as amended, it provides that the central arch shad be only 20 feet above high water tank instead of 25 feet, the height originally in serted in the measure. The commit'ee also recommend that • petition should be presented against the erection of the I bridge according to the proposed plan,on the ground that it would materially interfere with te navigation of tle river. ..- te CRLF.BRAVON OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S RittinuAT.—On Wednesday last Sir James Graham's birth day WM estenated in Longtowa by the tenantry of the Netherby estate and others by • public dinner, at which the keens of the right hon. baronet and the umbel a of his lenity were drwak with cordial enthusiasm.—Cartisfe Jownerst. - - " HOOKING" Or THE BELGIAN SUBMARINE. TELE SATriDAY.—A mishap took place this morn , which was likely to have much damsged the sebmariee t h e ws cable which has recestly been laid down across the flhaansl to Ostend. It appears that a vessel called the Vicar of Bray, Mr. Haulms muter, which has lately arrived in the Closanel from Afriekwas about getting under weigh from the South Foreland fur the river, when the anchor caught the imbalance cable. All the effects of j the crew failed in bringing her up; she maid not be on hocked, and, as a lan expedient, the vessel was obliged to I I slip from her anchor, and as much as 15 fathoms of cal:l'4 which were sttached to it. The submarine cable seems not to have suffered the least by the " hooking," as the mes sages have toes through witi.out the least hindrance. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EV - YINING. JUNE 6, /8534 TURKEY. The.fitsditernmean fleet has neilcerfroin to Conpantreople ; and the 0004 fleet hal'. been ordered tri the Meditirrancen& The thionstadt (111.

A lama 'Mir; of the 27th ult , states that the Russian foroM had already' commenced their march on Moldavia and Wallachia. Where these Russian forces began their march ht not stated, bat had troops in the neighbourhood of the frontier been put lin motion on the 27th ult. we should have had pull culars by telegraph before now. A telegraphic de spatch dated Berlin, June 2, is more alarmist in its character. It is announced that the 4th corps d'armee, under General Danenberg, has suddenly, and in obedience to orders received from St. Peters burg, commenced preparations for proceeding, by forced marches, to Bessarabia, the Russian province ladjoining Moldavia, a principality under the sove reignty of Turkey. The intelligence may prove true. We should, however, beware of con cluding. from it that hostilities are imminent. War is not the only object with which large and imposing bodies of troops are from time to time paraded by this or that power in view of an uncomplying neighbour. Supposing that the Czar were about to adjust his present differences with Turkey in a pacific manner, whether by resuming negotiations at Constantinople, accepting the media tion of a third power, or treating with the other four great European powers in congress, he would hardly omit to make $ signal display of his forces, as a de monstration of military might. It is not insufficiency of material means for crossing the Pruth and seizing a portion of Turkey that detains the Russian forces for a day in the Case's dominions. have had the honor of associating with the Duke of Seville, that a strong attachment to constitutional. 'institutions, first imbibed during his early residenCe in England ; loyalty and devotion to the thrum of his country, as long as the liberties of that country,' are respected by the throne; and feelings of nation ality carried to the height of chivalry, are the cha racteristics of his royal highness. . . "The Gazette du Languedoc says: "'Our corn spondence from Mad rid leads us to look forward to the real' to Spain of his Royal Highness the Infante Don Enrique do Boorbon as an event alusuA certain. Apropos of this act of the Spanish government, upon which we are not about ti exp ress any opinion, the journals of all shades are unanimous in recognising the eminent qualities of k prince who has known how to conciliate sympathies the most incontestable, since they are manifested without reference to party. We the more willingly associate ourselves to the sublimes of the different organs of the Spanish press, because in our mouth they cannot be suspected, and because we are impartial witnesses of the exile which his royal high ness has supported with nobleness and dignity—in short, as a Bourbon.'.. ---- " The Aigle says: "'Queen Isabella, whose goodness is proverbial in Spain, and whose clemency has already been extended to entsgris of all classes and opinions, waits perhaps but fora word front her councillors to perform an act of generosity to which her heart has long been inclined, and which has been hitherto delayed under pretests of reasons of state, now no longer possible to be invoked against the recall of the prince. We are sure that the Spanish Ministry will only have rea son to coneratulate itself in confiding in the loyalty of His lteyal Highness. It can have nothing to fear from a prince,. whose only ambition consists, if we are well infwmed, in the desire to present to hi► sovereign the homage of a faithful subject, and to don again for her ser- vice that glorious uniform of the Spanish navy, which he wore with no much pride in his earl] youth.' " I am informed that Don Enrique left Toulouse on the 3rd for Bayonne, there to await the result of the negotiations going on for his recall. The Assembler, which may be safely taken to be the organ of the Russian embassy here, has the following on the subject of M. de Nesselrode junior's mission to London : The House has been greatly occupied with the de spatch announcing that M. de Reminds had passed through Vienna. The general report wes that he was the bearer of a request from the cabinet of St. Petersburg to that of London to intervene in concert with Austria as a mediator in the difference between the Porte and Russia. We believe that M. de Nessehode's mission to LtSLd3u may be interpreted in a pacifle sense. But the ver sion accredited at the Bourse is wholly destitute of probability. What is more likely is that M. de Nes selrode was in the first intance sent by Prince Men ehikoff to St. Petersburg to make known the unforeseen opposition of Lord Stratford de Redeltffe to the demands of R WM. The despatches of which he was the bearer would have authorived Prince Menakikoff to suture the English ambassador that the Russian cabinet, although persisting in its demands, was determined to do nothing which might disturb either its good understanding with England, or the peace of Europe. M. de Rewired@ arrived at Odessa before Prince Menchikoff. Ile would have learnt the departure of the Prince from Constanti nople, and it is probable that his instructions were in that came to take his despatches to the Russian Minister in London In order that the contents might be commu nicated to the English cabinet at the earliest possible moment. This is the most probable explanation of M. de Nesselrode's journey. It is eakalated that he will have embarked from Calais to-day, anti that the commu nication of which he is the bearer may be made to the foreign office to-morrow. _ _ PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The ifoniteur publishes s report from M. President Billault, giving the Emperor a detailed account of the proceedings ofthe Corps Legislaif daring the session just expired. This is a formality not prescribed by the constitution ; and seeing that the Emperor, having the initiative of all legislation, is in a better position than any one else to know what has been done, it seems to be altogether a work of superero- gation. The report itself indeed emanates from his Majesty's initiative, for M. Billault states in the out set that out of his " high solicitude for the great bodies destined by the constitution to second his government," his Majesty had desired to have an account rendered to him of the labours of the session and their results. As might be expected, there is very little new or interesting in the report. It enu merates and classifies the different bills which have been passed, but this work has been done both by the French and English papers long ago. It discloses a fact not hitherto made public in this stag cling form that the aggregate addition to the depart mental and communal debts made by the loan bills voted during the session amounts to 37,800,000 f. Al luding to the partly successful opposition made to the bill for the conversion of these debts, M. Billault, says the Corps Legialatif, " appears to have thought" .that while the government was making efforts to diminish as much as possible the general charges of the state, it was important that this benefit should not be neutralised by progress in an opposite direc tion with respect to local charges. He echoes that absurd passage in M. de la Ouerreneiere's report, which attributes to the Emperor's benevolence, in stead of the instinctive regard of the Corps Legislatif for their own heads, the withdrawal of the proposi tion to re-establish the punishment of death for poli tical offences. "We have," says M. Billan't, "in order to give a better and more efficacious action to criminal justice, revived Articles 86 and 87 of the penal code, with • mitigation of the penalty which your Majesty's heart commanded." This servile flattery is really too ridi culous. This is the first time that an attempt has been made to relieve the Emperor from the responsi bility of the acts of his government. His whole ca reer disentitles him to the benefit of the maxim " The King can do no wrong." Hitherto he has spurned it. 'lbe official boast now is, "The Em peror governs u well as reigns." The standing ex cuse for every stretch of power since Dec. 2 is, " I am responsible." Now, the bill foe the revival of the political guillotine was presented by the " govern ment," and when, owing to a universal cry of horrar raised not only in France, but in Europe, it is thought expedient to withdraw the bloody proposi tion, the odium of the initiative 's thrown upon his Majesty's advisers—and, moreover, his anonymous advisers, for responsible councillors he has none, and if a project of law proposed in his name does not emanate from himself, nobody can say where it originated. M. Billault takes occasion to land the mechanism of the Corps Legislatif. He informs the Emperor that all is for the best. It was quite right that the session this year should have been prolonged, and although little but matter-of course legislaticin has beenbrought forward, the , pro longation is so proof that the fixed limit of three months is insufficient, or that there has been any want of diligence in the het= this session. He also highly approves of the restrictions upon the power of moving amendments, and in order to refute the ob jection that the right of amendment is practically • extinguished, he brings forward the fact that out of 41 bills, which alone were, properly speaking, bills susceptible of opposition, 22 have been amended by the committees with the concurrence of the Council of State. M. Billault does not say, however, how many attempts tg,amend bills have been ineffectual, nor how many have been voted against the avowed convictions of members, because the forms of the house imposed by the constitution left no alternative but to accept them as they were or to come into collision with the government by throwing them out. The report concludes with a peroration against parliamentary government and a simile, likening the Corps Legis latif to well-oiled wheels, which work better than those which make more noise. The general opinion on reading this report will be that expressed by M. Berryer the other day in his speech for the foreign correspondents, that " despotism is never more odious than when it dresses itself up in the garb of • liberty." The troops at Satiny yesterday exhibited the ma noeuvres representing what took place at the cele , bested battle of the Pyramids. Marshal Magoan arrived at halt-past twelve, and at once the opera tions commenced, in presence of a great crowd of spectators, whom the fineness of the weather had tempted to attend. The three brigades of infantry advanced in a staight line, and when they came to a • certain point, supposed to be not far distant from the enemy, they formed into squares, with a piece of cannon at each angle, and commenced firing. The cavalry was drawn up in the rear as a reserve, as were the batteries of flying artillery. As the attack of the enemy was then supposed to be directed to the left. the brigade faced to that side by echelons, the cavalry advancing to I cover the movement, and occasionally charging, as if to disperse the enemy who attacked. At the • same time the artillery, which was in reserve, dashed to the front, and opened a fire to support the cavalry. Then, when the infantry had completed its move , meat to the left, and taken up position, the cavalry executed the movement of retreating through the . lines, and formed in the rear of the infantry. lm mediately. after, each echelon of infantry, formed in square, with a piece of cannon at each angle, and opened its tire, as at the commencement of the ma- lyres, [be :tillery at the same time keeping a _..,-..uscained flee to support the infantry. At last, the enemy being supposed to have withdrawn, the troop, retuned• to their encampment. The whole Operations pissed off with only one slight accident— the (allot a carablikr, who, in tailing, hurt himself with his robtig. There was a considerable improvement at the _Bourse to-day. The differences were paid with the utmost regularity, and the expected " executions " (lid not take place. Money is very plentiful. The Threes rose to 78.90, and most of the railways were better. SWITZERLAND. The Yew Zurich Gazette of the 31st nit. has the following statement oa the withdrawal of the Aus trian Chine d'Affaires from Berne : The Swiss Chargé d'Affaires at Viatica mamma by telegraph that M. de Duel, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has astified to him that the reed of M. Kennett hen not the character of a rupture of international relations. If, then, Switzerland desires such a rupture, she must bear the em sequences. Accordingly K. Steiger has thought proper to demand new inetructioss al the Fedora Oman i& The Council has resolved to :histrutt him to esetlase matie relations, and net make we of the instrastisee celled a few days before. At Bence, the veebal seta pre; sented by M. Hamlett, is which he announced hie meal, has been generally understood as announcing a diplomatic, rupture. The Federal Council and the foreign ministers at Berne were also of this opinion. Thus we are left to con , chide, either that M. Karnicki has interpreted his instruc tions in too large a wow, or M. de Beal has changed hie mind. In either cue, it is evident that Austria does not wish to push things to extremities. This paragraph removes all doubt respecting the relative positions of Austria and Switzerland. By the recal of M. Karnicki diplomatic intercourse is actually, broken off. A certain " relation" still subeists, but this I. purely formal in its character. A diplomatic basis for new negotiations is left standing, bat the political basis remains to be discovered. The remark of M. de Buol, that " if Switzerland desires a rupture she must bear the consequences," is hardly intelli gible. M. de Buol is an intelligent and experienced diplomatist, if no great statesman, and knows very well that the Swiss desire to find no offence where none is intended. The recal of their chage d'affaires was duo to a misapprehension, for which M. de Kar nicki is to blame. The following is a copy of the note of Hie Federal Council to its minister at Vienna. You will find enclosed a copy of the reply which the Austrian Ambusador addressed to us on the 21st inst. is answer to the note of the 4th. You will see that the ambassador has received from his court an order to quit Berne temporarily, and repair to Vienna, as under exist ing circumstances discussion cannel lead to the desired result. We in consequence thought it our duty (in refer ring to our Leinreptile despatch of this day) to withdraw the powers with which we had invested you in quality of Swiss Charge d'Affaires to the Austrian government, and to enjoin you to cease on your aids official relations with the Imperial authorities, and to inform the Austrian autho rities of It, according to the customary forms. A% how ever, Coupt Karnicki has left his chancellor Whiled him in order that no impediments may arise with regard to pom poms, we think that in the interest of our fellow-citizens, you should also leave your chancellor at Vienna, and re commend him to manage the passports as before, to exercise surveillance over oar fellow-citizens, but in a non-official manner, and in ease of need to assist them with his advice. As M. Steiger, the Swiss Ch arp d'Affaires, is es tablished .at Vienna as a merc ha nt, the Council simply divested him of his official character; his resi dence in the Austrian capital, after the supposed rupture, is thus explained. Count de Salignac Fenelon, Minister of France to the Swiss Confederation, has returned to Berne after an absence of several mouths. The blockade of Ticino is maintained with in creased rigour. The inhabitants of the Ticinese valley Val Maggie have been in thehabit of wintering their cattle in Lombardy. The Ticinese cattle were not included in the great expulsion of February, and many hundred Swiss cows are still in Lom bardy. The season has arrived for driving the animals up to the rich pastures of the Alpe, but the Austrian com mander has 'forbidden the Lombards to restore a single beast to its owner under a penalty of 200 livtes. • FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVIININO. The Emperor received a letter yesterday from the President of the Republic of Paraguay, announcing the conclusion of a treaty of commerce and navigation between France and Paraguay. A decree in the dfoniteur of today contains the rules for the execution of the sanitary convention concluded between France and various maritime powers. gen'Despatches from St. Petersburg state that several e e rr had recently left for the military colonies in the western part of the empire, and also for the south-western governments. The Airtime de Lawastine, the general command ing the National Guard of Paris, has published an order of the day relieving the force from the neces sity of furnishing guards to the mairies of the let, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th. and 11th arrondissements, where alone their services have been required, and that only very recently, since their re-organisation after the,eoup Vint. This order is a virtual dimo lution of the National Guard. The only reason for the mealiere given in the order is that the occupation of those parts originally determined upon with a view to relieve the army is no longer " considered useful for the present." In thus sending the civic force about their business, Generan Lawmstine tells them that he is satisfied with the zeal and punctu ality with which they have performed a service ren dered very onerous by the weakness of their effective. This compliment is singularly at variance with noto rious facts. The National Guard having no political or social importance, its officers being no longer elected, but chosen among men distinguished for servility to power, has no longer any attractions for citizens. The service has been felt painful, petitions have been presented to relieve the force from guards, and General Lawmatine's order has been anti cipated by an almost systematic absence from roll call. _ A correspondent writes to me from Toulouse: "Se veral of the French southern journals; Le ifessager de Bayonne, La (Mutts du Languedoc, Le Journal de Toulouse, (the provincial corollary of the Paris Palrie), have taken up the subject, recently broached in the Madrid journals, of the propriety and urgency at the present moment of putting an end to the exile of the Infante Don Enrique, Duke of Seville, brother of the King-consort. The press of all shades of opinion is unanimous in rendering justice to the dignity and noble resignation with which this exile has been borne. I extract a few words from the Gazette du Languedoc, which prove that even party spirit acknowledges the merits of the most ' liberal ' of the present race of Bourbons.l The language of the Aigle is still more remarkable, as the expreesion of opinion of an accredited organ of the present government of France, whose sympa th7 is that which the Prince could least expect to elicit, and least desire. It is well known to all who SPAIN. A Madrid letter of the 30th, states that the Queen had declined to appoint General Cordova di rector of the cavalry, in compliance with the recom mendation of the Minister of War. It adds that notwithstanding the dissensions in the Cabinet, it wu believed that a ministerial crisis might be avoided. GERMANY. The ZollTerein was formally renewed with the in corporation of Hanover at Berlin on the 2nd inst., when all parties reciprocally ratified their previous adhesion. The treaty for the accession of Patina and Modena to the Amato-Prussian Custom's league has - 7ths, t' been concluded for four years and nine moot that being the period for which those states stipulated their customs treaty with Austria. The emigration of their subjects is giving consi derable anxiety to many, and in particular the smaller of the sovereigns of Germany. While letters from Bremen represent the tide of emigration as surpassing all former years, letters from Frankfort re pot that the plenipotentiaries of the little states de mand that an emigration tax may be imposed, as population is undergoing a serious diminution through the departure of the people for America. Already the south of Germany has furnished emi grants in number exceeding the entire population of some of the German monarchies. The rulers of the two Hewes are especially clamorous for repressive measures against emigration. It is believed, how ever, that the Diet will not venture to move in the matter. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. or ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) (111011 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The British and North American Its al Mail steam ship Cambria, Captain Lang, arrived in our river this morning with the usual mails from the United States and British North American possessions, about seventy passengers, and specie to the amount of 275,000 dole. on freight. By this arrival advice@ have been received from New York to the 24th, Boston to the 25th, and Halifax to the 27th ult. The mails, per Cambria, arrived in charge of Lieut. Boys, R.N., Admiralty agent. The United States Mail steam-ship, from Bremen and Southampton, arrived at New York on the 24th May, and the British and North American steam ship Europa at Halifax on the same day; the latter from this port. By the arrival of the Cambria, we are in receipt of intelligence from California to May I, though there is nothing of interest to communicate. The reports of the various mining operations still continue favourable. Gold to the value of 21 million dollars having been sold. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market at New York, still maintains the satisfactory position mentioned in our last report, money being generally abundant, and the prospects of trade, on the whole, very satisfactory. The stock market was rather inactive, though no material variation in prices had taken place. In the market for breadstuffs the , e had been little doing, and prices had receded to a small extent, though the alteration had been chiefly in the more common descriptions. Western Canal flour, 4 dole. 50c. to 4 dole. 621 c. per brl. ; Gennessee prime wheat, 1 dol. 24c. to 1 dol. 26c. per 601 be.; Indian corn, round yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel ; Indian corn, southern white, 64c. to 66c. per bushel ; Indian meal, 3 doh. to 3 dole. 120. per barrel. At the departure of the Cambria the Cotton market at New York was reported to be in an ezcsedir.gly depressed condition. Sales could only be effected by holders sub mitting to a reduction, which they had been generally dis posed to do. N. 0. and Mobile mid fair to fair, 11c. to Iltc. per lb.; Upland mil fair to fair, lie. to lltc. per lb. The accounts received respecting the condition of the crops were highly unfavourable; the exports were de creasing, while the excess of the receipts was continuing. The provision market was generally dull, and the quo tations previously reported had not been well supported, a slight decline having taken place. No change had occurred in freights up to the time of the departure of the steamer, the rates demanded being still as follows:—Freight of Flour to Liverpool, le. 9d. to 2.. per barrel ; Grain, 6d. to 4d. per bushel ; Cotton td. to 5-16 d. per lb.; to Havre, I to i cents. per lb. Foreign exchanges were firm, though only in moderate demand. Exchange on London, 1003 to 110; Paris, 612 to 14 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bremen, 791 t 074. THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD DIGGINGS. The foUowing is an extract from a letter just re ceived by a respectable eitiun of London from his eon : Stepheo's-street, Melbourne, Feb. 1, 1853. " Charles mentions in his letter the number about to emigrate. I don't know what they will all do, for Mel bourne is quite full. A great number of persons have re• turned by the Great Britain, who, I have no doubt, will give a fine account of Australia. I guess the emigration spots will be rather slack forth, future. I have been up to the diggings, as I thought it best to satisfy myself with regard to them, before I made use of my letters of introduc tion. Oar party consisted of o—, a fellow shipmate, and myself. We walked 80 miles through the country, sleeping in the woods, or rather bush, of a night (a very few houses ion the road). We accomplished our Journey n three days. When we arrived, we bought a tent sad pitched it ; then had to look about us. To form a correct vies of the dig gings, one must pay theta a visit in person. The de scription that I can give of them is that they put me in mind of a large brick field, with a number of wells sunk, some of them from 20 to 30 feet in depth sad half full of water. We marked out one plate and began to work (the tools they sell in London are useless); we sunk two holes, each shout 20 feet deep and 6 feet square, we bailed out about en hundred buckets of water, and after wishing the stuff, which is no easy . work, we obtained for our trouble about as much again as is contained in the piece of ribbon. I remained above three weeks at the diggings. I should have given them a longer trial, only one of our party wished to go to other diggings further up the country. So I came back t o town to make use of my letters. One has to rough it at t',* digging,. It is very hard work and a great uncertainty. I would not advise any one to leave England to go to the gold fields of Australis. Should fresh diggings be discovered I may stand a chance, as those did who came over here when they were first dis covered. I took my letter to the governor. Had I seen the contents beforehand I should not have taken the trouble to have gone. He has received hundreds of the same stamp. He said it was quite out of his power to procure for me a situation. I was much obliged to him for his candour, thanked him, and departed. I teen made use of Mr. B's lettar to J. W., Esq., oridently a valuable introduction. He took me to the chief commissioner of _ the police, who uid that he could not put me in the mounted force first starting off, but he would put me on foot, at a township about sixty miles from Melbourne, at wages 8... per diem, with board and lodging and clothes found. I hare to call on him to-morrow morning to let him know if I intend accepting the situation. I think I shall decline. Policemen are not tho same here as at borne. Should you hear bad accounts of Australia, don't make yourself uneasy about me. I have only myself to look to, and I can manage to push along some how or other. "There are almost as many tents as houses here." VALUE OF THE CABINET-WORK EXHIBITED AT Qoatt Bores—One of the best-informed dealers in articles of this character tells us, he should think the collection would sell for nearly half-a-million of money. We should not go so far as this, although we are perfectly well aware of the fabulous prices which may be obtained just now, both on the continent and at home, fur remarkable speci mens of furnAure ; but we can vouch for its great value. We may add, that the same authority said he would him self give 5,0001. for the cabinet of mahogany and ormolu sent by the Queen, and that the three China vases which stand on the cabinet No. 61 would probably sell fur 3,0001. These are figures which startle one, and serve to show that the money which a country may spend in improving, and getting a reputation for its productions, is not thrown away. —The Builder. BUIIL CABINET WORK.—Buhl has its name, we I , may mention, from its inventor, Brute, a French cabinet maker, who introduced this mode of ornamenting furniture at the end of the seventeenth century. In this proceu, no part of the material is wasted : two or three thin veneers of different woods are fastened together ; the patterns are then cut out with a fine saw, and the cavity in one veneer is filled up with the pattern cut out of the other. Brass with • d.rk wood or tortoiseshell, were the materials which Houle himself employed, and it is to works in these mate rials that the term is more particularly applied.—The Builder. 451), Court.
