ATHENS, JULY 11. The steamer Arcadion has made two more suc cessful voyages to Candia with munitions, and food, and clothing for the Cretans. Two other blockade runners like the Arcadion have arrived in Greece from England. The latest intelligence received here from the island states that Omar Pacha had attacked the province of Sphakia, and had occupied two villages named Frango-castello and Sphakia, the two most elevated positions in the hands of the Christians. A Turkish battalion, on its way to Messara and Tombaki, had been cut to pieces by the Cretans. The Turkish troops were said to be perpetrating great ravages. TEE 170NROY OP EGYPT. • Yesterday the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs of London and a deptitation from the Court of Common Council, composed of Alderman Sir Francis Gra ham Moon, Mr. It. N. Philipps, Dr. Saunders, Mr. J. C. Todd, and the Remenibnneer, waited upon his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt by appointment, at Dudley-house, to present an adding from the corporation of the City of London. The Iced Mayer wore his state robes on the occasion, the Sheriffs were in official costume, and the rest of the deputation in court dress. His highness, who was attended by Nubar Pacha, his Minister for Foreign Affairs, and other of his officers of state, received the civic authorities with much courtesy. The address having been presented, the Viceroy, speaking in Arabic, which was afterwards interßreted in English by Nubar Pacha, said in effect he was much gratified by theaddrees which the Aldermen and Common Council had presented to him through the Lord i Mayor. The welcome he had received from all class., of the English community in the metropolis during', his stay here would never he forgotten by him. It would be hie constant t aim to encourage and foster commercial intercourse with • this great city, because it was by commerce that Egypt • must thrive and prosper. The facilities he had been able to render to their country for communication with the East and for the passage of their troops had been afforded most willingly, as they would ever continue to be, by him. He had experienced the greatest pleasure in offering a welcome reception to all Englishmen who had visited his dominions, and be should be gratified in having an opportunity of sho-ring hospitality to the Lord Mayor, or any of the members of the corporation, should they ever visit Egypt, in return for the marked respect and consideration be bad received at their hands. For the kindly interest they took in the prosperity of his country, and in his own happiness. he thanked them very much. The address of the corporation will be eventually inclosed in a casket of gold of the value of 100 guineas. The Lord Mayor having presented to the Viceroy Mr. Sheriff Waterlow and Mr. Sheriff Lycett ; Mr. H. N. Philipps, the mover, and Sir Francis Moon, the seconder of the addressli,lhe rest of the deputation, his highness took leave them with many expres.ions of goodwill. His Highness, attended by a portion of his suite, visited the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, and took his seat on the bench appropriated to ambassadors and foreigners of distinction behind the clock. His high- Inns was joined shortly afterwards by Mr. Gladstone, and subsequently by Lord Stanley, with both of whom he shook hands and entered into conversation. His high ness remained in the house about twenty minutes, and appeared to view the proceedings with great curiosity. His highness also visited the House of Lords, accom panied by Lord Stanley, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and several members of the House of Commons. The Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Halifax, and several other peers, were presented to his highness. SPAIN. MADRID. JUL,' 1.6.

The affair of the Brothers Duruy and the Brothers Cassagnac, the duellists, is assuming large proportions. As already stated the Brothers Duruy, objecting to an article in the Journal de Paris arguing that their father, the Minister of Public Instruction, was unduly severe to the normal school in dissolving it for a bagatelle, and unduly indulgent to his sons in maintaining them in im portant official posts after their notorious escapades, went to the office of the paper accompanied by a third person to act as their witness and reporter. Without first giving their names they obtained an interview with M. Weiss, the editor, and when he refused to fight a duel one of the Duruys, as he has publicly ad mitted and boasted, knocked the editor about the head with a roll of his own journal. It has been much remarked that, whereas the usual course in " affairs of honour " is for one principal to send. two friends, here two principals went together, accompanied by one friend, and the three of them propounded an ultimatum to the man desired to be fought with, and, on his refusal, I took the law into their own hands. I said three'days ago that this affair must come before a law court--and so it will ; but, wonderful to re-' late, the Minister of Public Instruction, and not M. Weiss, is prosecutor. Again, because the Courtier Francais wrote the name of Granier de Cassagnac Grainer (de Cassagnac) with a parenthesis, the brothers Cassagnac, jun., called together upon M. Duchene, of that journal, and delivered' an ultimatum to him. They required, on pain of mortal combat, that he should insert a paragraph stating that he was mistaken in writing the name (de Cassagnac) in a paren thesis, and that he should do it with an appearance of spontaneity, not saying that M. Grainer de Cassagnac's sons had inter fered in the matter. He declined to do this, but was willing to insert a letter from them correcting what they alleged to be his mistake. Thereupon they insulted him by word of mouth, and in their father's journal, the Pays. In that paper they said that the Courtier Francais people were rapscallions, because they wouldnot fight when provoked, whereas they (the Cassagnacs) belonged to good society (the monde des salons). In reply to this assumption the Courtier Francais published extracts from a well known trial, showing that M. Grainer de Cassagnac was second in a duel in which his brother-in-law, M. Beauvallon, killed M. Dujanier, the manager of La Prose, and that President Espartees de Lusaan severely censured him for having sworn that the pistols used by M. Boeauvallon were new pistols, untried, whereas it was proved that they were pistols lent by M. de Cassagnac, and that M. Beauvallon had practised with them. Beauvallon was sentenced to a • heavy term of imprison ment. The inference drawn from this by the Courtier Francais was, that however much the Caasagnacs might talk of the honour of their family, it was at any rate a dangerous family to fight with. The Cassagnacs replied, with out noticing the awkward affair of M. Dujanier, that since the Courtier Fran faie would not tight it could only be dealt with by contempt," adding, however, in the next sentence, with great inconsis tency, that their only remedy was the cudgel. There upon the Courtier Franfaissaid it would be provided with a body-guard of its friends against ruffians. The Cassagnacs print in the Pays that M. Louis de Cassagnac, meeting M. Vermorel, the editor of the Courtier Francais ' walking in the street arm-in arm with a friend, spat in his face several times, and that some of the spittle fell upon his friend— spittle which, he says, he is very willing to consider withdrawn. This is published under the head of Bulletin No. 1 of " Vermorel's courage." Bulletin No. 2 states with great glee that M. Louis de Cassagnac the next day met M. Vermorel, escorted by six friends carrying large bludgeons, that he spat upon him exactly between his eves, and that neither he nor the six cudgel bearers took any notice. The reason why they did not inflict the chastisement which they might easily have done is, I suppose, that M. Granier de Cu sagnac, deputy for the Gers has instituted a pro- mention against M. Vermoref. So far it would seem that the sons of ministers and government deputies might lord it over common mortals as they please ; but the Moniteur of this evening introduces a new element in the matter, in the shape of a letter, not very clearly worded however, from M. Pietre, the prefect of polimi t deprecating in severe terms the fighting tendencies of certain journalists, and recommending the commissioners of police to pro tect peaceful citizens against them. A great deal more will be heard of these affairs, which interest the public intensely, and oven affect the Bourse. Ten Accrnzwr TO THR NORTH AMERICAN.—A I despatch was received in Liverpool yesterday, to the effect that the passengers of the North American, which went ashore on the island of Anti-Costa, had been transferred to the screw-steamer Si. George. The cargo was being saved by schooners. The fore and main compartments and en gine-room were tight. A tug and divers were also present, working at the damaged portion of the hull. Intelligence was yesterday received in Liverpool to the effect that the monster ram Dunderberg, which left New York for Cherbourg several days since, after being at no a few days, was obliged to put beck to the former port. with her engines in a very disabled state. Our readers will remember that the Dunderberg was originally constructed for the United States government, but the naval authorities of that country, after the vessel was completed, found fault with her, and ultimately refused to aooept her. Being thrown upon the builder's hands a European market was nought for, and after some negotiations the Dundarborg became t he property of the French governments MOVEMENTS OP THE SULTAN. In accordance with orders issued on Monday evening every preparation was made at Woolwich for the reception of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan and suite, yesterday. In oonsequenoe of the continued heavy rain which prevailed it was found impassible to carry out what would otherwise have been a grand military spectacle, and the distinguished visitors had therefore to content them. selves with an inspection of the Royal Arsenal and other interesting departments of the garrison. The whole of the available troops assembled on the common at 12 o'clock, in review order, but the rain came down in torrents, and it soon became evident that the field day evolutiona,most be dis penaed with. About half-past 1 o'clock the arrival of the distinguished party was announced by the firing of • royal salute from the Green-hill Battery. The route was through Greenwich, Blackheath, and Charlton village, and in the first carriage was seated his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, whilst seven other carriages contained his Majesty's suite, and numerous field officers from the Horse Guards, &c. A guard of honour of the Hussars accompanied the core,* from London to Blackheath, which was then relieved by a guard composed of a detachment from the Royal Artillery Riding-house establishment. Having arrived at the garrison, the party was received by Major-General Wards, C. 8., and a staff of field officers, and immediately proceeded to the officers'mess room, and partook of refreshments, the assembled troops, who were quite saturated, having previously returned to quarters. After inspecting various departments of she garrison, the visitors re-entered their carriages and pro , oeeded through the principal streets of the town to the Royal Arsenal, where every preparation had been made for their reception. The royal party returns.' to town about I six o'clock, amidst a second salute from the garrison battery. His Imperial Highness the son of the Sultan, attended by Haman Bey, Ahmed Bey, Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel the Hon. Augustus Liddell, visited the new Royal AmpSitheatre and Circus, High Holborn, tart evening. ' His highness expressed himself highly delighted with the entertainment. (FROM TM! COVET NEWMAN.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Jun' 16. The Sultan, accompanied by their Imperial Highnesses Yonssouff Innedin Effendi, Murad Effendi, and Humid Effendi, went in state last evening to the Royal Italian r Opera, Covent Garden. His Imperial Majesty was at tendedby Euad Pacha,and all the principal members of his suite. MuataphaPacha and Haliin Pacha were also of the imperial party. The imperial procession, consisting of 15 of her Majesty's carriages, with the servants in state livery, left Buckingham Palace at 8 o'clock. An escort of Life Guards accompanied the procession. After the opera, the Sultan and the Imperial Princes returned direct to Buckingham Palace In the same state RA on going to the theatre. Soon after one o'clock to-day the Sultan, attended by the principal officers of his suite and by the gentlemen of her Majesty's household, specially appointed to wait on his Imperial Majesty, left Buckingham Palace to visit the arsenal and dockyard at Woolwich, and afterwards to dine and to be present at an entertainment at the Crystal Palace. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by General Sir W. Knotty', Colonel Kingsoote, and Captain Ellis, accompanied his Imperial Majesty through- out the day. The imperial and royal party travelled in seven of her Majesty's carriages and four. In the same carriage with the Sultan were his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, his Highness Feed Paola, and Lord Raglan. The royal cortege was escorted by a detachment of the 3ed Hussars. His Imperial Highness Yowls°gaff Usedin Effendi, at tended by Colonel Hon. A. Liddell, drove out this morn ing, and visited the South Kensington Museum, and afterwards the St. Stephen's Hall at the Palace at West minster.

The directors of the Palace had done everything yesterday in their power to receive in a becoming manner the distin gashed guest who was to honour them with a visit. The I royal boxes in front of the great orchestra had been speci allydeprated for the occasion. Approaching them from the tent-like ante-room, the eye fell upon rare pleats and lovely flowers disposed in the most teetotal manner around the walls. Here and there groups of statuary had been introduced, and the effect of the white figures standing oat against the deep green of the leaves in -which they were embowered was very charm ing. In the corners of the room lofty mirrors had been placed, and in the centre a sparkling fountaia, surrounded by flowers. As the flowers were mostly noes, in ripe luxuriance of bloom, the air was filled with a rich sweetness that seemed full of Oriental suggestion. At about a quarter before five o'clock the first part of the cowed commenced with Rossini's overture to La Oa= Leder, brilliantly played by the combined orches tras of Her Majesty's Theatre and the Crystal Palace, with the addition of a powerful military band. The first part of the concert over, the desire to know something respecting the movements of the Sultan became general, and many were the inquiries as to when he might be expected. The we►ther having brightened , though showers were from time to time telling, a lame number of the company proceeded to the pounds, which soon became agreeably diversified by moving groups. It was not, however, until 7 o'clock that his Majesty entered the park. So few of those present pen then knew in what direction to expect him,that when he entered by what is familiarly called the Scott Russell entrance at Sydenham. There were only five policemen and one or two stray spec tators awaiting him there, although a crowd of several hundreds had assembled outside. The privileged few, however, were not much to be envied ; for, partly perhaps because his Majesty was late, and partly because. a smart shower was falling, the carriages and four containing the expected visitors drove in at such a rapid rate th►t it was almost impossible to identify any of their occupants• It soon became known, however, that the Sultan and his suite, together with the Princeof Wales, bad really arrived, and at once, by preconcerted signal, the whole of the foun tains began to play. Then the excitement reached its height. The grand terrace soon became one mass of spec tators ; the avenues and paths in the grounds were astir with eager crowds. Fortunately the carriages slackened speed as they passed through the perk, to enable the Sultan to view the wonderfully beautiful scene about him, so that the prospect of getting a glimpse at the royal features by hard running and short cuts was not so hopeless as it seemed at first. After passing by the Rosary, just now in its full per fecticas, the carriages, with their red-coated outriders, their steaming horses, and their mud-bespattered postilions, returned towards the upper part of the grounds. A few minutes afterwards the Sultan reached the small and out-of-the-way entrance which bad been specially set apart for him, close to the Alhambra Court. Alighting there, he passed through the Egyptian Court and the Fine Arts Court, from which throughout the day the public had beep rigidly excluded by barriers ; and so, amid the cheers of those who were able to see him and of those who were compelled to take his arrival for granted, he made his way to the saloon attached to the royal rooms, where dinner had been provided for the unusual guests. Shortly after the time appointed (a quarter put eight), the second part of the concert commenced with the quartet from Weber's (*mon, " R tempest*" (" Over the dark blue waters"), snag by Malls. Titiens, Madame Tre belli-liettini, Signor Gardoni, and Mr. Bentley. The Sultan being now seated in the royal box, at about a quarter before nine, the National Anthem was sung by the chorus, alternated with role* for the principal vocalists ; after which the Ode to the Sultan, specially written for the occasion by Zafiraki Effendi, and set to music by Signor Arditi, was performed. Signor Arditi's music is written with much rigour and thorough knowledge of brilliant orchestral and choral effects, and some occasional touches of that special characteristic of musical style known as "AIL Turca." There are some clever contrasts in the alternation of the choral and solo strain, ; and some of the climaxes are brilliantly and effectively wrought. Both the Ode and the National Anthem were performed amidst much excitement, and those surging sounds, some times subsiding then rising high, which result from 110 immense assemblage whose attention and inte rest are fixed elsewhere than on the immediate per formance. Immediately upon the conclusion of the concert the fireworks commenced, but long before that the grounds, the terraces, and the rooms from which a good view of the display could be obtained were crowded with spectators. The night after so dull and troubled a day was singularly clear and calm, and the moon shone out with a soft bright nese that gave a new beauty to the scene. It was even a matter of regret with some of the spectators that owing to the moonlight the fireworks could not be seen to so much advantage as they would have been had the sky been darker. fu the course of the evening a printed announcement was posted up in the building, stating that his Majesty the Sultan had generously given 1,0001. to the Palace Resto ration Fund. HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL. —The programme of the 144th Festival of the Three Choirs of Hereford, Gloucester, and Worcester is just completed.

CrWOPENOE THE VISIT OP THE BELGIANS TO WINDSOR. In the Riding School yesterday eleven hundred wer e seated, and in the auxiliary room three relays, averaging about 600 each. Most of the elite were accommodated in the " riding school," where the Hon. Percy Herbert pre sided. On his right were M. Antioch, burgomaster of Brussels ; Major Moder, commandant of the Dutch rifle. men ; and the burgomasters of Ostend, Bruges, and Ghent ; and M. Healy, president of the Tir National Beige. On the left was Colonel Gregoire, commandant of the Belgian rifleman, and many other distinguished foreign and English gentlemen. The band of the 2nd Life Guards performed during dinner. The scene of excitement dm , ing the speeches made on both aides became intense. The cheering became so truly terrific that a bugler had to be kept near the president to give the call for silence when the speeches were interrupted. The total number accom modated at dinner was returned at 2,700. It is a fact which reflects the highest credit on the management, that although the number present exceeded the number antici pated, none had to be disappointed, but all were supplied with as much food and wine as they cared to have. Daring the afternoon the healthy of Colonel Leyd Lindsay and Lieutenant Purley, and other members of the committee, were drunk. At the conclusion of the festivities the various con tingents marched to the respective railway stations for which they were detailed. And again the whole population of Windsor turned out to greet them. Every one endeavoured to shake the hand of the Belgian, and the Belgian shook two in return, whilst the feminine portion of the crowd woes Iregualatleett) the great delight and sheering of the crowd, kissed to their heart's content, One of the great objects of attraction and, ovation was the tremendous drum-major of the GarcieCiviq ne of Brussels, who, with his stupendous bearskin and feather nearly a yard high, was the " observed of all observers." From the British soldier and stalwart navvy tothe smallest gamin every one tried to get a shake of the hand of the "great" Belgian. Inthia manner the stations were reached; and here another ovation awaitedourguests. The Berkshire Volunteers joined in the exuberance of enthusiasm which pervaded every one, even to the extent of carrying an equally exuberant Belgian on their shoulders along the platform to his carriage. Fraternisation was rampant. The Berkshires struck up " Auld Lang Syne," and the Belgians Fang something about meeting side by side, and oonfuaion became worse confounded, until the whistle of the engine gave the signal for starting, and the train glided out of the station amidst the cheer. of hundreds sasemblid. The Belgians who visited England this year will no ddsbt enjoy, for many • long day, their reminiscences of Windsor. BELGIAN BALL AT THE ALILUIBRA. Last night the usual performances at this house were suspended, and a grand dress ball was given in honour of the Belgian visitors. The whole of the seats in the " auditorium " were taken away, the floor was en tirely covered with a rich carpet, and the baud, one hun dred in number, conducted by M. Riviere, were mounted on a raised platform on the stage, which was tastefully fringed with fresh flowers. The saloons, supper-rooms, end balconies were lso re-carpeted, and the whole house war decorated with flags of all nations and handsome gas devices. The average attendance of the Belgian volunteers at this establishment, notwithstanding the many counter attract'ons in London, has been about 1,:100 each night, including the night of their arrival, and test night nearly every Belgian volunteer in the rnetrogelis must have been present. As soon as the doors were opened ►t 10 o'clock they crowded in in their uniforms, and the public crowded into the upper balconies—the only places set apart for spectators—to look at them. At half-pawl 10 twelve masters of the ceremonies in court materna marched into the dancing area, and the curt►in imme diately drew up, discovering the band, who played the " Brsbanconne," which was loudly cheered. Dancing flagged for some time owing to the somewhat scanty at ,' tandem* of ladies in the early part of the evening, but this defect was remedied towards midnight. The spectacle seen from any point of the building was peculiar, military. and effective, and all the Belgians evidently thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The ball, we believe, was given by the Alhambra Company and Mr. Strange without any eye ha pewit, bat merely to fall a posies made in the news papers a few weeks before the arrival of the Belgians. A telegram was received in Derby yesterday announcing that fifty of the Belgian Volunteers would visit Derby on Monday next. A well organized committee has been formed in anticipation of the visit, and every exertion will be made to give the hospitable Belgians a hearty welcome, ample funds having been received to carry out these arrangements. The details, as far as at pre 'tent arranged, are as fellows:—The Belgians are ex pected to arrive at the Derby railway station from London at nine o'clock on Monday evening, when they will be met by the Derby battalion of volunteers under the command of Colonel Wilmot, and esoorted to the front of the Royal Rota, where the mayor and corporation will give them a hearty welcome, and fraternal greetings wi ll Th be exchanged. e town will be illuminata d, flap will be displayed, and all Derby will " tarn out." On Tues_ day morning a special train will convey the party to Chatsworth, tho palace of the Peak, and where it is ex pected his Grace the Duke of Devonshire will entertain them at luncheon. After exploring old Haddon Hall, and other objects of interest in the famed Peak f Derbyshire, the party will return to Derby, and at 10 o*, lock the same evening there will be a grand military ball in the New Assembly Rooms. The Belgians will return to London 00, Wednesday morning, but it is probable ti at sonic will re. main, and will visit Matlock. Dovedale, Sc. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE MEETING. WIMBLEDON COMMON, TUFADAT EVENING. The following schools were represented yesterday:— Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Cheltenham, Marl borough, and Rossall. After a very spirited contest the shield was won by Harrow by 244 marks, bestir g the next highest (Rugby) by four marks only. They made 240. It was last year won by Harrow by '156 marks. Eton was then the next highest, and made 233 marks. This is the third year in succession this mire has been won by Harrow. Arising out of this competition always follows a second one for a Cup given annually by Earl Spencer, E.G.. to be competed for by the best shot in each of the elevens in the first stage, and to become the sbsolu'e property of the winner of it. Seven shots each at 500 yards. This prize was won by the Cheltenham boy (Collier) by 22 marks. Jones, of Harrow, won it last year. Another new prize commenced to be shot for to-day was called "The Ride Oaks," a sweepstakes, with a certain amount deducted for the benefit of the association. The amount is divided into three prizes. Five shots each at 500 yards. This contest will be continued all to morrow. Mr. R. Bird, of the South Middlesex, who the other day, in shooting with a Joslin rifle at 500 yards. and tiring for the Duke of Csmbridge's prize with military breech loaders, made 93, this day at 200 yards scored SO in 3t shots with the same weapon. His numbers were 7 bull's eyes, 14 centres, and 5 outer". It was omitted to be stated in the proper place that C.,or. lanes, of the lit Banff, made 54 points foe the Queen's Prize at the second stage, the sane score as was made by Captain Wright. When the Harrow boys left the ground on their return home they were loudly cheered. THE REVIEW.
