To-mowtow—Moruing. as— Aftsiseam. 105. 20s. LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19. Foa some months past the heaviest accusa tions have been brought against the people and government of the Northern States for their obstinacy in adhering to their own Niews and con victions of the war, in opposition, as it was re peatedly affirmed, not only to the opinion of this country, but of all Europe. The refractory go vernment and people were urged and implored by every variety of warning, entreaty, and per suasive argument to abandon their fixed idea of defending the Enion and, listen to the prudent and peaceable counsellors who insisted on separa tion. Their obduracy in refusing to listen to this advice has called forth no small amount of noisy lamentation and indignant reproof. A contempo rary who, in the interest of the South, has consti tuted itself the candid friend of the North, has taken the lead in deploring and denouncing this fatal obstinacy. Its frequent homilies on this fruitful theme have been very varied both in form and substance. The obdurate Americans were at one time entreated with the unction of sudden friendship, and by every motive of humanity, to hear the voice of reason crying aloud in our contemporary's open columns. At other times they were threatened with every national evil—the loss, to a ruinous extent, of men and means, of wealth and territory, reputation and position, if they still refused to be moved and influenced by European advice. Yet all was of no avail. The Americans, intent on the one object before them, have pursued their course heedless alike of warnings and entreaties. They have persisted in taking their own view of their own affairs, and, so far as they are concerned, our contemporary and his allies are no better than a voice crying in the wilderness. This was no doubt hard to bear, especially to a disinterested patron and critic, conscious of the best intentions, and our contemporary was driven at length to the use of rather strong language. The Northern govern ment and people were stigmatised as " besotted" and "insensate," as " drunk with pride" and "mad " with passion." This bitter experience was not, however, without its uses. Our contemporary did not fail, of course, to point the moral sug gested by such a mournful and instructive spec tacle. While the Americans were denounced in unmeasured terms, readers on this side of the Atlantic were bidden to mark that this brutal in difference to the opinions and advice of others was the natural result of democratic institutions. This was all very well as long as it lasted. But those who confide in a capricious oracle must be prepared to abandon their opinions at a moment's notice. No sooner is this solemn lesson about the peculiar evils of democracy well-impressed on his mind, than the admiring reader finds it rudely scattered to the winds by the same authority. The very journal that for months past has alarmed the Americans with every variety of epithet for not showing more deference to the views and convictions about the war prevalent in Europe, ventured yesterday morning coolly to assert that the Civil War had thrown an entirely new light on this aspect of the Americans, as instead of the self-reliance that formerly distinguished them, we now see " such an abso " lute and, apparently, involuntary dependence on " foreign opinion as was never witnessed before." The vaunted mountebank's feat of jumping down his own throat was surely never performed in a more daring and successful manner. In any journal whose responsible identity survived the day of its issue, such an act of self-repudia tion would be moral suicide. The exploit is peculiar to our contemporary, audit exacts the same kind of interest as those self-mutilations common amongst certain lower forms of animal life, where on the approach of danger or out of mere caprice the supple and happily organized creature ampu tates its own members. The act, though daring, has its risks, being of course, as far as it goes, self destruction. To attempt any serious reply to this last accusation against the American people would be the merest fighting with shadows, or slaying the slain. It is on the face of it flagrantly absurd and self-contradictory. All the world knows that the one great fact of the Civil War is the persistence of the Americans in their own course in spite of all adverse opinions, and the latest news from Washington shows that there is not the least prospect of any change in this respect. But this entire independence of foreign opinion is a comparatively new fact in their history. The statement that while formerly indifferent to Eu ropean opinion, the Americans are now its vic tims, is singularly inexact in both particulars. Up to the breaking out of the war, the people of the North were, unconsciously perhaps, but still largely influenced by foreign, and especially by English opinion. But the kind of criticism they have recently met with has largely weaned them from this dependence. The un generous and unworthy course pursued by one contemporary has, amongst other influences, contri buted to this result. Nearly a year ago one of the most influential and widely-circulated New York journals said :—" The strange want of judgment "manifested by the Tinvs and other English journals " on American affairs bids fair to for ever release " our people from the half-colonial dependence on " English public opinion which has characterized " it in times past." We are not in the least sur prised at this result. No intelligent or reflective American could read without a touch of scorn the opinions which such journals as our contemporary, and such orators as Mr. Anuurcx, set *fib' as peculiarly English. These !lois' , *cies that claim to speak on behalf of their country men, delight to represent England as a craven and selfish power, yielding to the unjust demands of the strong through fear, insulting the weak because she thinks it may be done with im punity, and exulting over the calamities of her neighbours because she hopes they may turn to her own advantage. The Americans have not, however, fallen into the mistake of confounding these unworthy ebullitions of sectional interests or class prejudices with the opinions of the English people at large. They have done ample justice to the friendly spirit displayed towards them by impartial sections of the commu nity on this side of the Atlantic, as well as to the noble instinct which has led our working classes to suffer the most terrible privations without a murmur against the struggle that has for the time deprived them of bread. While recognising those deeper facts of our national life, they have, however, ceased to pay any practical regard to the loud-mouthed traducers of English sentiment, or, indeed, to depend in any degree on European opinion. Or Qloufl. BALMORAL, Aoauirr 17. Mr. Theed has arrived at the Castle with the mat of his statue of the Prince Oman* in the Highland dress, which her Majesty has desired to be placed at the foot of she staircase where the marble one is ultimately to be placed. The Duke of Newcastle has left his seat, Cluanter Park, Not* for Balmoral. Despatched were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the North American Provinces, Vancouver's Island, British Columbia, and the Bahama'. Despatches were sent to the Governor el Malta. We are authorised to state that the Prince of Wales has addressed a letter to the Earl of Derby, as chairman of the committee appointed to advise her Majesty in reference to the Prince Consort Memorial, expressing the great pleasure with which his royal highness had read the recommendations contained in the report of the committee ; and in timating his intention of subscribing, at the proper time, the sum of 2,0001. towards the erection of the central hall suggested as one portion of the general plan. A correspondent of the Nord, writing on the 13th inst. from St. Petersburg, says :—" Prince Alfred will stay but a short time in Royals. It is said that he will embark on board his vessel in the course of the current week. He arrived on Friday night at Croostadt, and having at once taken the imperial steamer Alexandria, he proceeded to Oranienbaum, accompanied by Rear• Admiral Greigh,of the suite of his Majesty, who was attached to the person of his royal highness to pay him the honours of the capital. A three-honed caleche, with yamschtchick bells, and all the attributes of a dashing Russian 'drag,' attended the prince at Oranienb►um, and =ducted him to Strelna, along the line of magnificent imperial residences which suc ceed each other without interruption the whole distance, at least 15 vents. At Streina his royal highness again took a steamer, which conveyed him straight to St. Petersburg, where he stayed at the hotel of the English embassy. The next day but one after, namely, that of their majesties' ar rival, the prince was seen at Peterhoff riding in a char-a bane with the Emperor, the Empress, sod their eldest daugh ter, the Princess Mary. The royal traveller wore the aim * jacket of a midshipman. He has left this morning for Moscow, where he will remain but a single day. He will then return direct to Cronstadt." Intelligence from Berlin of the 16th instant says : —" The presidents of both chambers, accompanied by deputations of the members, had an audience of the King and the Crown Prince this morning, to present their con gratulations on the happy accouchemeot of the Crown Princess. The King heartily thanked the deputations for the sentiments expressed in their addresses, and requested the presidents to return his thanks to the chambers. The members of the deputations were then presented to his Majesty. At the interview with the Crown Prince similar courtesies were exchanged." Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Brabant and the Count di Flandre, attended by Count Moerkerke sad suite, left Londoa•bridge station by the 8.35 p.m. Continental mail train last evening for Dover, en route to Brussels. Their royal bight.esses would, on arrival at Dover, embark on board one of the Belgian government mail packets, which was specially ordered for the service, for Ostend. The National Zeitang states that the greater por tion of the hotel " Znm Mohren," at Coburg, has Leen espied for four weeks from the commencement of September for the of Earl Russell and suite dating Queen Victoria's residence at Iteinhardsbrunn. On Saturday (say. the Dub/in &ruing Mail) the Earl and Countess Russell, accompanied by the younger members of the family, paid a visit to the Devil's Glen. Earl Russell remarked on the exceeding beauty of the richly-wooded glen, and declared his enjoyment of the occasion. He drank a bumper of champagne to the pros perity of Ireland. The health of the noble earl is much improved by his sojourn at Bray. To-day Lord Palmerston will be presented by the mayor and corporation of Dover with a portrait of his lord ship in hie capacity of Lord Warden of the Cinque Porte. The ceremony will take place in tho fdaison Dieu Hall, Dover. Prince Nicholas Hohenlohe, of Weltenburg, and mite, Prince Carl Egon of FUrstenberg, and Prince Emil of Fiirstenberg and suites have arrived at Thomas's Hotel. The Duke and Duchess de Padua and Mdlle. de Padua have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, for Byde, Isle of Wight. Their Excellencies the Count and Countess &Coate have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, for Edinburgh. His Excellency Baron Van Osten, M. Epatiene, sod M. Dorchaleg have arrived at the Bromwich Hotel, Jermye-street, from Paris. Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury returned to Hertford-sireet yreterday from the Isle of Wight. The Bishop of Chichester has arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. The Countess and Mdlle. d'Espeleta have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-etreet, from Portugal.

Mrs. and Mies Lockwood and Mrs. Will.. have left Flllllllloell Hotel for Hyde, hle of Wight. The marriage of Mr. Arthur W. Peel, youngest son of the late Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, with Miss Dugdak, Wee daughter of Mr. 8. Dugdale, of Merevale Hall, Warwickshire, was solemnised at Merevale Church oa Thursday last. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. and Rev. Fitzhanlinge Portman, uncle of the bride. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Dugdale gave au elegant dijedaer to about seventy friends and relations, among whom were the Earl and Countries Howe and lady Mary Curzon, Lord and Lady Portman and the Hon.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST 19, 1862. ~.,_ , ALGIERS. The Courrier de CA lgerie reports the effects of a terrible storm that swept over the city of Algiers and its vicinity on the 10th inst. The damage done to buildings and gardens is very great, though the tornado, as it appears to have been, did not last more than 20 minutes. Two military hospitals and two of the workshops of the Artillery Arsenal are nearly destroyed. Trees were torn up and houses unroofed in every direction. The storm burst over the city exactly at noon, and was followed by a rain that fell in sheets. The most violent effects of the tempest were confined to the city and the Babel-Oued ; the ride of Bab-Asoum and Hamtna entirely escaped it. RUSSIA. On the 13th the ceremony of blessing the water of the Neva took place at St. Petersburg. It was celebrated by the permission of the Emperor, at the request of the church and inhabitants of the district of St. Isaac. Of late years this once grand ceremony had fallen into disuse, but it is henceforth to be repeated annually. The blessing was given by the metropolitan of the Greek church. The military governor of the capital and the minister of police attended, but the Emperor was not present. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nrom oui ow= coiozerorrown.) PARIS. MONDAY EVENING. It is consoling to observe the unanimity with which the admitted semi-official organs, the Consti tution/lel, the Pays, and the Patrie make onslaught upon the outsider, La France. The bare idea of an indefinite occupation of Rome by French troops now excites in the profoundest degree the virtuous indignation of these journals. Indeed, the Con stitutionnel this morning has an article almost offi cial in its form. To be sure we must not make too great haste to accept the statements made therein, for it will be in perfect harmony with precedents should the Monitenr, to-morrow or the next day, put an extinguisher upon the authority of the Constitationnel to make this or any other as sertion in the name of the government. Still the article in question is of no every-day cha racter, so I give it verbatim: The Times, which, in its Paris correspondence, had stated that the new journal published "under the avowed direc tion of M. de la Guerronniere expressed merely individual opinions," affirms in another article that there is every meson to suppose that the manifestoes of that journal really disclose the views of the imperial government. As certain foreign journals, as well as certain journals of the depart ments, have gone even further than the Times, and have openly stated that the policy advocated by M. de la Guerronniere relative to the only pee,: of its programme which to • certain point has occupied public opinion bad received an august approbation. a denial has become necessary. We are, then, authorised to declare that the assertion ia devoid of all foundation. We may add that not only has the work of M. deb. otlerfOODi4o on foreign policy not received the high approbation spoken of, but that it was not even unoffiria , ly communicated to the cabinet of the Emperor. Thus fall to the ground all the reports by means of which it has been attempted to act upon public opinion. The Temps observes of this : " It appears deci dedly that that unfortunate journal La France must resign itself to receive a disavowal per day. The disavowal of today is still more significant than those which have preceded it, in this sense, that it bears most particularly upon the Roman policy of the new journal, which, it is known, consists in calling for an indefinite occupation." La France itself, in its number of to-day, seizes upon the article in the Constitution/le/ to ask innocently, "Are there, then, such things as semi-official journals I Really, we did not know it. But some how or another we have an indistinct recollection that the Constitutionnel has on some occasion been disavowed ;" and thus tweedledum and tweedledee keep up the ball. There is ample evidence that the Italian govern ment has either been betrayed into an unjustifiable optimism as regards Garibaldi, or has wilfully per verted the truth in the statements sent forth to the world. It is beyond all doubt that the ex-dictator is not playing the mad game so eagerly attributed to him by persons either only too willing to be deceived themselves or too anxious to deceive others. The insurrection—if that term can be ap plied to a movement which indicates the will of an entire people—has evidently been organised far and wide ; and whether Garibaldi remains in Sicily or crosses in disguise to the mainland, that movement is going on, silently and secretly, but surely. Here is a passage extracted from a "proclama tion" by the Emancipation Society of Genoa (which we to-day hear has been dissolved by authority) and seized by the government. Strange to say, the government has ordered the publication of the same. This is something like the " Don't nail his ears to the pump, boys !" for thousands of persons will now see it published "under authority . ' to whom it would otherwise have been a sealed letter : The duty of the 500 associations which compose this cen tral representation is marked out. The hour is come when each should prove that it comprehends its mission. Two duties are now incumbent upon the ►ssociations : to watch over the liberty menaced by the projects of the Decembrists of the ministry, and remembering the proclamation of Cor leone to think actively (penearcoperwamente) of the captain of the people. Let each association direct its aspirations with lots of our country and of Garibaaldi. Let every man do his duty. . . . . The correspondence which gives this " proclama tion" denies positively that Garibaldi ever uttered the violent language attributed to him as to destroying the Italy which he had made. It is stated that the Pope has really applied to Spain for • ship, in cue of accident, and that the govern ment of her Catholic Majesty is about to dispatch —if it has not already dispatched—the frigate Our Lady of Monet Cannel to Civita Vecchia. The Marquis of Pepoli has been received by the Emperor. Of course he told the truth S.S.W. to W.N.W., strong, to a gale la places. with rain. As above. IMAM% As above. S. to W. and N.W., W.

There were on the occasion great demonstrations of joy at Vienna, where the Empress is very much beloved. The Emperor manifested his gratitude for the sentiments of the population, by a letter specially addressed to the president of the Council of Ministers, Archduke Regttier. During the Napoleon fete on Friday afternoon the Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, left the Tui leries in an open carriage, and drove, not without some dif ficulty, along the line of Boulevards, the Quid d'Orsay, and the Enplaned° des Invalides. Their Majesties were received everywhere with enthusiasm. "Prince Napoleon," says the Indipendance, " travelling under the name of the Count of Meudon, set out from Paris on Saturday afternoon to pus ten days in Switzerland. This journey, under present circumatances, has given rise to a host of comments. Some a ffi rm that th e prince will appear under an incognito at Turin to consult with his father-in-law, King Victor Emmanuel, as to the settlement of the affairs of Italy ; others contend that the sole object of the prince's visit is to improve the relations between Switzerland and France. In our opinion he is gone simply for the purpose of visiting his property on the borders of the Lake of Geneva." The Japanese Embassy arrived on Friday, dur ing a heavy rain, at St. Petersburg, and proceeded to their hotel on the English quay through an immense crowd of people. During the whole of Sunday the hotel was be- sieged by numbers of people anxious to obtain a sight of the Eastern visitors. RAPID P•iISAO ES TO CALCI:ITA.—A private telegram received in Liverpool yesterday anatillaGee that the ship Ghazepore bad arrived out at Calcutta, making the passage from Liverpool in 78 days.

She arrived at Madras is 65 days, Saugor Roads in 68 days, and anchored at Calcutta within 69 days after departure from England. MASON AND DIXON'S LINIL—Tbill line, SO often spoken of at the present time in oonoexioo with the civil war in America, is the parallel of Latitude 39 deg. 4.lmin. 26 sec., forming the boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland. It takes its name from Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two English mathematician., who in 1763 were employed by the proprietaries of those colonies to determine the boundary line in order to put a doc i f i ti o : border warfare which had lasted 90 years. Mews. and Dixon were four years occupied upon the work, having been impeded by the Indiana. This parallel became after wards famous as forming the division between freedom and slavery in the original states of the union. Dr. Mueller, the famous Australian botanist, has just published the first of five volumes "On Plants Lodi gowns to Victoria." He is also about to publish • de scription of the plant. discovered in North-Western and Central Australia by Mr. Gregory and Mr. Stuart respec tively, and also of North-Western Austral* by Mr. Stuart in Central Australia, those preserved on board the douses Victoria during her voyage through Torres SOUL' to Car pentaria and back. Dr. Mueller is also about to MOW Mr. Bentham, the distinguished English botanist, in his put work on the Flora of the entire Australian continent. A dreadful scene of confusion (says Galignani) has just taken place at St. Nicholas, in Belgium. On the morning of the 15th, while the Church of Notre Dame was crowded with persons attending divine service, a noise of broken glass was heard, and a panic at once seized as the congregation, every one imaginiog that part of the budding was falling. Some of the wefts present clambered over the communion -table, and sought refuge near the altar. The great bulk, however, rushed to the only door that was open, and there a terrible crush took place, and the usage was speedily blocked up by persons falling and getting trampled on, the pile of bodies soon reaching to almost half the height of a man. By the exertions of those on the outside, the pas sage was after • time cleared. The number of pewee injured is considered large, and one woman died soon after. The alarm appears to have been caused by • stew, thrown from the outside, having broken through a pus of gius, and then fallen into the church. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. FORESTERS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. --• I I (THIS DAY.) The comparatively fine weather attracted a some what numerous attendance to the Exhibition yesterday, although not such as ought to be expected at this period of the year, when the great body of the working classes are in the habit of taking their holiday. We fear that the situation will not be improved by the determination to which we understand the Commissioners have come after long deliberation, namely, not to reduce the price of admission on Saturdays to a shilling. Arrangements contemplating the visits of thousands of operatives both in town and country depended entirely on the antici pated reduction , and the disappointment amongst those classes will be proportionably great. A deference to the wishes of large numbers of the ticket holders has probably influenced the commis sioners in their decision. His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant again visited the building yesterday, and was con ducted over it by Mr. Owen. Mr. Sandford, Secretary to the Commission, has returned to town, and yesterday resumed his official duties. The highest temperature yesterday, as shown by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers, was :—ln the nave, 63.1 deg. ; in the galleries, 64.6 deg. The reading was taken at 3.45 p.m. The following were the total numbers admitted yesterday, compared with the corresponding day in 1861: 1862. {Beason tickets 8,890 Monday, August 18 tickets Payment and day tickets 66,622 Total 10.401 Monday. August 18 ( Payment Total 61,626 At 9 o'clock this morning London Bridge and all the approaches to the Crystal Palace Railway Natio• as. lamed a holiday appearance from the throngs of well dressed women and well.conducted men, who were on their way t o join in the grand display which the Ancient Order of Fore,- ten, or at least that portion of the order which represents the metropolis, annually makes at Sydenham. By 10 o'clock the station itself was in a state of siege. Crowds aces. mulated faster than the railway could carry them off, and the cry was " still they come." And conic they did in shoals ; so that up to twelve o'clock the numbers mast have swelled up to an aggregate of from 15,000 to 20,000, with every pro- Mille of a long matinees:ice of the stream of life and bustle. Meanwhile, as is usually the case, thousand, more had gone down by road in all sorts of vehicles and all aorta of styles ; from the dashing drag or brougham with its jaunty pos titian, to the bumble one horse cart. There were omni- buses with four horses, three horses, sod two horses ; vans, py with baoners sod crammed with a living freight of good temper and enjoyment ; and in fact all this* outward sad visible signs of holiday making, which usually mark a fete day of the mamas. Large concourses of spectators gathered about the Elephant and Castle, Camberwell green, and other pleasant loitering spots along the line of route ; and if the crush of vehicles was not quite so great as on • Derby Day, th e scene was quite as picturesque from the fact that hundreds of the holiday makers went down en costume. Robin Hood and Little John, and their " merrie men all," were well repre sented by persons dressed in garb' which sat unemily upon some of them, but which were so strikingly unlike anything usually seen, except on the stage, es to cm .. mend • &Dos from every passing wayfarer. Velvet 1 1 tunics and " Lincoln green tights, buff boot*, and hats of fanciful fashion, with dancing plumes and dazzlingly. bejewelled, were to be seen in almost every vehicle ; while the scarf of office, with an accompanying rosette, was everywhere visible. There, too, was the "huntsman's horn," upon which ever and anon some ambitious member of the ancient order sought to gonna • "mote ;" but, after distending his cheeks and his lungs to the utmost, failed ingloriously in the attempt, nevertheless reserving ' his grand effort until far away from the busy haunts of men, he could wake up the sylvan solitudes of Dulwich. Altogether it is computed that the number who have found, or will end, their way to Sydenbam during the day by road and rail will exceed 40,000; and, with a day (judg ing from its opening) as fine as if made to order, with the beautiful grounds of the Crystal Palace at their command, with archery and other sports for their amusement and re creation, and with an abundance of good cheer waiting to be consumed, there is every reason to conclude that the fete will be another great success. " Bold Robin Hood and his Foresters good," with their wives, sweethearts, and children, are off to Sydenham for a day's enjoyment ; and it will surely be strange should they be disappointed.

ALLEGED MURDER Old WIPE IN EDINBURGH. A melancholy oocurronce took place in a honee at No. 19, Semple-street, on Saturday night, which has re sulted in the death of a young married woman, and the committal of her husband on a charge of murder. It appears that the prisoner, who is named George Charles, is a Seabee by trade. He had been on an incur. lice to St. Andrews, along with the entptoyts of the North British Rubber Works (where he had latterly been work. ing), end on his return home, somewhat the worse for drink, be began to quarrel with his wife about some money be had expected would have been sent to him. Not receiving any reply he became exasperated, struck her • severe blow on the beck, and kicked her on other parts of the body. It is said he also took up a knife and threatened to stab her. The poor woman ran to her father's house, • few yards off, and the old man im mediately went to the prisoner, and asked him what be meant by maltreating his wife? He replied by saying that he would give his father-in-law " three inches of the Indio" if be offered to meddle with his affairs. The old man then gave him into custody. This took plat:eat twenty minutes to one o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning. The deceased returned home, and in a few minutes afterwards she expired. On being informed of his wife's death, the prisoner mid with • careless air—" I thought it would come to that;" and he seemed but little affected by the melancholy news. After the necessary inquiries were made, he was committed on • charge of murder. The prisoner and the deemed bad been married about nine years, and bad a family of three children, all of whom are tow alive, the youngest beingoal y six months old. The deceased, who was of very respectable parents, was about twenty-seven years of age. It is stated that she had been suffenng for same time back from beset disease. It is reported that the prisoner has for a bag time been leading a dissipated life ; and it was uounooluntoe thing for him, when under the influence of drink, to threaten to stab his wife, or say of his other relatives with whom he might disagree. —Ed lobo rpir Courani. `ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENT.—Yester day the balloon committee of the British Association made another ascent from Wolverhampton, represented, as pre viously, by Mx. Masher, of the Royal Observ atory. Mr. Coawell was the aeronaut, aod, as before, his mammoth" balloon was the aerial machine. It will be remembered that on the first ascent in Wolverhampton • few weeks ago, an altitude of about five miles was attained, and that, after being up about two hours, and travelling during a portion of that time at the rate of 60 miles an hour, a descent was made in Rutlandshire, just in time to sere the voyagers and their machine from being lost in the Wash. In the descent, which was made with great rapidity so soon as water was descried, most of the instruments wens seriously damaged, and among them Thomptoo's electrometer. Excepting that instru ment, the instruments taken up yesterday were room of the same, and othe-a similar to those used on the occasion of the first ascent, the observations being con fined to testing the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere, with its preeaure„ the vibration of the magnet, and the quantity, if any, of ozone away from the earth. The ascent was made precisely at 2 minutes and 38 seconds past 1 o'clock. There was a large number of the toed gentry on the ground, but in addition to Mr. Glaisher. the only member of the balloon committee present was Lind Wrotteeley. The quantity of gas which the balloon con tained when it left the earth was about 65,009 cubic feet. Special care had been taken to secure gas of the lightest pos sible character, Mr. Proud, the engineer to th•Wolverliarop ton Gas Company, having invented for the rupees an appa ratus which will test the specific gravity of the gas with greater accuracy than can be attained by the use of any other similar instrument. The quantity mentioned would leave nearly a third of the balloon unoccupied, thus affording an opportunity for the gas within it to expand in the ratified atmosphere, at the same time that enough was taken in to enable the experiments to be taken at the highest altitude, after some two or three dips had been taken. The ascent was all that could be desired. There was a brilliant sunshine, the atmosphere had but few clouds, end those white, and the wind was molds( at the rate of only 20 miles an hour. The direction in which the balloon was first wafted was south by west, about half a point to the west. On attaining about 111,000 feet the upper current of the atmosphere was met. The voyagers then got into a point direct south, were afterwards seen rorth by east, and were seen in that direction until 3.23, when they had made one or two dips, and were moving off slowly apparently over Birmingham and towards Coventry. The balloon descended at five minutes past 4 at Solihull, 25 miles from Wolver hampton, after attaining a height of 4} miles, where the temperature was 24 degrees, the barometer about 13 inches, and the dew point minus 10. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND.— The ship Conway, of 1,156 tons, belonging to Mr. E. de Pass, Captain Spence. sailed from Southampton on Sunday for Seascape, Queensland, with 396 emigrants, equal to 256} statute adults, of whom 219 were English 140 Scotch, and 8 Irish. They comprise 48 marri ed extols', 88 single men, 141 single women, 29 boys, 34 girls, and 8 infanta ; the whole under charge of Surgeon- Superintendent J. G. Winston. Mr. B. E. Pym was ap pointed schoolmaster, and Miss Pym matron. A large number of the emigrants were nominees of land purchasers, and among these about 100 were nominated by Kiss Rye, a lady who has prominently advocated "female middle-class emigration." Mr. E. A. Smith, the emigration officer at Southampton, assisted by the Rev. N. Cotton, distributed the sum of 1361. 155., a portico of Rebell's Emigratiou Charity, among the most necessitous oases in this ship. The Conway is fitted with Dr. Normandy's distilling apparatus, and every arrangement is made on board for the health and comfort of the emigrants. Mr. Walcott, one of the Doi. gration Commissioner", and Captain Lean, the emigration officer for London, paid a visit to the ship on Friday last. INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT POMPEII,—AII im pnrtant archeological discovery has just been made at Pompeii, of a mill with a great quantity of corn in excellent preservation, and an oven with 81 loaves, arranged in rows, and but slightly affected by the heat of the lava, having been protected by a quantity of ashes which had covered the iron door fitted to the mouth of the oven. These loaves have all been pt out entire ; a large iron shovel for intro ducing leaves into the oven has also been found on the spot, with a remnant of its wooden handle. This is the first dis oovery of the kind on record.—Golignani. RAILWAY COLLISION. —A collision between two passenger trains on the Great Northern Railway took place near the Holbeck Junction, about a mile and a half from Leeds, yesterday (Monday) forenoon. The usual passenger train for London left the Leeds station at 10 minutes past 10 o'clock, the carriages amounting to 17 or 18 in number, and being chiefly first and second-class carriages. Near Holbeek Junction, which is on a bold curve and heavy gradient, the train, owing to the inefficiency of the locomotive power at the time to the weight of the train, and the ebaracterd the gradient of the line, came to a stand • still,or nearly so. Asa passenge r train for Br•dford was follow ing oat the senteline, it was deemed proper by those in c h arge of the latter that an attempt should be made to push the London train forward by the Bradford one. Unfortunately the Bradford train was driven with too great a force against the train for the metropolis, and a somewhat serious colli sion was the result, The break van of the London train was partly broken, and the guard in it received a severe blow on the head, and many persons in the carriages nearest the break-van also received rather severe bruises, cuts, and contusions. As soon as possible the London train returned to Leeds, and Mr. Sy mons, the superintendent, promPtlY_lniut far a number of surgeons, who took every means possible to have the sufferers attended to. Mr. H. Price, Mr. Rohrer, Mr. T. P. Teals, jun., ad Mr. Hey, were soon in attendance, From fifteen to twenty persons were found to be injurA, but none of them apparently seriously, and they all re- ceived such care as their respective cameo required. The rest of the passengers in about two hours afterwards left for London. THE STOLEN BANK NOTE PAPER.—The amount sad nature of the Bank note paper stolen from the mills have, it is believed, been fully ascertained, and the whole affair is within limits to prevent serious alarm. The re. wards offered and other measures taken will probably lead to the detection of an organised gang of tonere—Timer. DEATH 01 THE DEAN OP GLOCcESTER.—We have to record the death of the Hon. and Very Rev. Edward Rica, D.D. Dees of Gloucester, aged 85. The rev. veal*. man was b orn in 1776, and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated in 1798. He migrated to An Souls shortly afterwards, and in coo:lotion with that took his degree of Master of Arts in 1802. In thatyear nl C was presented t, the precentombip, with the prebendal stall of Great Driffield annexed, in York Cost/led:4 value 4601. • year, which he baa held up to the present time. In 1810 he we presented by his father, Lad Dynevor, to the rec tory of Gnat Risingtoo. near Stow-00-the. Wold, Glower. tershire, worth about 8/01. a year. He held it until 1856, when he resigned it in favour of his son, whom Lord Dyne vor presented. In 1825 he was . presented by the Pad of Liverpool, who was then prime minister, to the Deanery of Gloucester, which is worth 1.2241. a year. The precentor. ship of York cannot hereafter be held with the deanery. The late Jean was heir-presumptive to the barony of Dyne vor, his nephew, the present baron, having no family. The next in succession to the baron ' , is the Rev. Henry Rios, M.A., of Christ Church, Oxford, rector of Rislogtoo, formerly vicar of Biddenham, in the diocese of Ely. The nomination to the cleaner/ will rest with Lord Palmerston. NEW DRINKING FOUNTAIN IN ST. CLEMENT DAIWA' CAORCHTARIL—A splendid drinking fountain. erected at the expense of and presented to the inhabitants of the parish of St. Clement Dane by Mr. Joseph Brown, many years an inhabitant of the parish, in memory of his wife, was inaugurated yesterday in the presence of • large number of persona, by the rectal*, churchwardens, and other authorities. The fountain is placed on the south side of the church, nearly facing Arundel-stmt, and consists of a draped female figure, with wings, in • kneeling posture, holding the shell from which the water Bows into • basin below ; the whole executed in Sicilian marble, the pedestal being of polished red Aberdeen granite. In the panels on either aide are engraved in gilt letters the words " In memo riam," and round the upper part " Presented by Joseph Brown." DISTREMA IN LANCAARIRE.—As the pressure Of distress increases, through she stoppage of more mills, the working classes from the country villages and towns flock to Manchester and the larger centre of industry in great numbers, to ask alms in the streets, and beg from door to door. It is no unusual thing when travelling borne by railway to be asken for alms by your fellow passengers, and • gentleman riding from Manchester to Stockport in a first clam carriage was told by his fellow passengers that they were operatives out of employ, and would be glad if he could give them money. He remarked that it was strange for men out of work to be paying first-class fares, and the answer was that the differenoe in fare was trifling. No doubt the true auswer would have been that gentlemen travelling first-class would be likely to give silver if they gave at all, and thus the difference would be more than made up. Great numbers go through the towns in groups singing such songs as they know, or, more commonly, singing sacred wink, and pick up a good deal of money. Many of these people, it is said, get money from private funds subscribed in their own neighbourhoods, and it has been suggested that some means should be adopted of preventing them adopting this vagabond life as much as possible. One firm, in the country, lately em ploying 2,000 people, now give them three days wages per week, though not employing them. To prevent their hands going about begging in other towns they have issued an order that their workpeople shall muster at the mills every day, at a certain hour, and be kept there • short time to clean the machinery. This system will probably base to be adopted more generally. CIIRIOUM FATAL ACCIDANT.—On Tuesday evening last, on the return of Mr. Crisps and friends, who had been to visit the Exhibition, to their cottage, situate near the nursery gardens, at eatherhead, they were much sur prised at not being able to obtain an eutrlnce. Thinking the servant, Margaret Jane Marshall, aged 22 years, who had been left in charge of the premiss, had gone to see her sister, who resides in the village, they went to her house, and on hearing front her that she hail been to the gate in the afternoon about four o'clock, sod after ringing the bell had been unable to obtain an entrance, they sought the widow* of the police. On getting in they found the well lids standing open, at which they were much alarmed, and having obtained aasistanoe, proceeded to search the well, when the unfortu nate young woman was found at the bottom quite dead. Au inquest was held on the body on Friday evening, when the jury came to the conclusion that, in attempting to land the bucket, the unfortunate young woman had slipped into the well. Verdict aecordingly.—flusscr drpress. EIPLOSION AT A POW DER-MILL. —On Friday evening as alarming explosion took plea at the mrepowdsr manufactory of Messrs. Lawrence and Ban, which is distant about three-quarters of a mile from Battle. The milt was goen at the time and contained about half a charge of gun iposr. but very fortunately there was no paws in it. Ths asplesion carried the roof entirely off, sad destroyed the sides et the mill, leaving, as we holier*, the machinery uninjured. Muck alarm was naturally felt, but it was moo ascertained that so one was hurt. The cause of the explo sion is unknown,—Siesser Express. ANOTHER FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDrIrt —As • plate•layer, employed op the North Staffordshire Railway. wee pawing acmes the tallest the Stoke stalks yesterday morning, he was knocked down by the engine of the early ttaia, which was just then running in. The wheels west completely over his body, musing such dreadful mutilation that he deed shortly after the accident had occurred. and the whole truth as to the situation in Italy. The Emperor did not commit himself in reply, for he is reported, as usual, to have said—nothing. In the meantime we learn that preparations are making at Toulon by which 10,000 French troops can be thrown upon the Italian coast within thirty six hours ; and Count Montebello is stated to have informed the 85th Regiment that they must expect shortly to fight Garibaldi. A letter from Turin, received this evening, says that the Marquis Pepoli has no proposition whatever, officially or other wise, to make to the Emperor, but simply will, "of his own accord, lay before his Majesty the difficult position of the Italian govern ment in face of the acts of Garibaldi, which it is obliged to oppose, while at the same time it shares hisdesire to obtain for Italy its only possible capital." We also learn from the Turin corres pondence that Garibaldi had been summoned to lay down his arms within 24 hours. This period had expired at the time the letter giving the intelli gence was written. " I leave you to judge," says the writer, "what is the universal disquietude." The official Gazette has a vague statement, to the effect that "everything leads us to suppose that a solution is now probable which will render any con flict unnecessary." At the Bourse prices had generally a downward tendency. Rente left off at 68fr. 85c. for cash, and 68fr. 95c. for account, being a rise of Sc. fur the latter. The Italian Loan was very sensitive—it fell from 70fr. 90c. to 70fr. 75c., the closing price. Cavour Canal shares are said to be in great demand at Turin at 10fr. premium ; at this price holders refuse to sell. HANOVER. The people of Hanover are in a state of violent commotion, and have in some instances become riotous, on account of a new Catechism, which the I King, as first bishop of the land, has been pleased to compose for his protestant subjects. The old catechism, introduced in 1790, was drawn up in accordance with the doctrines of the celebrated ra tionalists of that day, who constituted the theolo gical faculty of Gottingen, and has for a long time been held in aversion by the orthodox. According to a letter of the 15th iustant t in the Independence Beige, the new catechism is based upon an old work, of which the royal ordinance says that "our Luneburg provinces formerly regarded it as a special gift of Divine grace." "It is composed," says the letter, "in a completely obsolete style ; teaches the personal existence of a devil ; leads to a belief in magical power ; extols the merit of fasting ; attributes to priests the power of granting absolution ; in short, it is of a nature either to train up children in scepticism and ignorance, or to plunge them into fanaticism."
