The State Council of Geneva has resolved upon demanding of the Federal Council to support the election of IL Cheneviere. The funeral of the eight victims who fell in the late disturbances will take place to-day. A large body of the militia will be present, and it is hoped that no further outbreak will occur. CROSSING THZ EQUATOIL—Count de Chasseloop- Liebe; minister of marine, bus addressed a letter to the maritime prefects severely onittiring a soend•loea eesne which reesotly took place on board • transport vessel be longing to the French navy. on the occasion of the ceremony of crossing the line; not only were the priest paseragere in their canonical apparel forced to take pert is the burlesque ceremonial, but the whole proceedings were • parody on religion itself. The boa minister instructs the prefects to call on captains of vessels to prohibit in the eeretnouies in question everything of • nature to outrage the respect doe to religion and the sacred character of its ministers. COTTON IN SNTRNS. —Recent accounts from Smyrna ootifirm the fact that since the ;overman Ira adopted the plan of distributing cotton seed gratuitously to the planters the produce has increased considerably. In the year 1860 the cotton exported from Smyrna amounted to only 12,000 helm, end was estimated at 30,0001. la 1863 it ieneseed to 60,000 bales, and the value rose in • greater properties. This year it is exported that the pro rime of Anatolia alone will prodece 180,000 hales. The Turkish government has thus gained enormously by the encouragement it has given to improvement in agriculture. For example, the tithes of Magnesia, which were fanned nut last year for 74,000 Turkish pounds, produce this year 127,000 ; those of Aidin, noted lest year at 60,000, found bidden on the spot this year at 100,000 pomade ; and it is expected that the offers as Constantinople will be still higher. —Levant Herald.

From the pavement running in front of the National Gallery may be seen almost every evening • sufficiently remarkable spectacle. Hanging over the granite balustrade dividing the flagged terrace from the lower floor of Trafalgar-square are mes, women, and children. Their attitude is both uni form and singular. Neither heads nor shoulders are visible, but in their place a lengthy vista of dorsal extremities ; much as if a public school operating-master, a British drummer-boy, a boat swain's mate, or a modern prison turnkey, had to prove his efficiency in the noble art of knouting before promotion, and a number of victims had been experimentally horsed. When Mr. Squeers thrashed Smike in the hackney-coach, he declared there "was inconvenience in it, but the novelty gave it a sort of relish." His London prototype may combine the utmost convenience with the most complete novelty by journeying to Trafalgar square, and boldly slashing at the people ranged after the fashion of Mr. Leech's " Common Objects on the Sea-shore." If of a philosophic tempera ment he may speculate upon the garments of his victims, and point a moral before he adorns them with stripes. There are the trowsens of shabby gentility, sleek respectability, struggling poverty, hardy labour, and abject pauperism, intermingled with petticoats of Prints Menlo. MA Jaw instances et garish-coloured silk, and of those other materials nondescript in character and neutral in tint, wherein the generic female pauper is clothed. The feet even have a story of their own. Hobnailed bluchers, cracked leather, heel down-trodden, sole-dilapi- ' dated Wellingtons, Oxfords, and Albe rta are ranged side by side, sole upwards, on the pavement, like the wares on a cobbler's stall, or the goods in the window of a very second-hand boot and shoe shop. Naked feet and legs are not uncommon, and are also turned towards the road, as their owners' heads hang over the parapet in friendly participa tion in, and genial approval of, the sports below. These are provided by a very fair amateur circus company, who, it is true confine their efforts to what, from the time of Dncrow downwards, have been styled scenes of the circle, but who endeavour to condone the absence of horses by the pleasant abandon of their costume, the eccentricity of their movements, the strength of their language, and the weird and recondite humour of their " chaff." The circle is not kept, but formed by • hundred or so adherents, who submit patiently to occasional punchings, and swallow gratefully considerable obloquy, as the conditions of their acting as • guard of honour. Tke tumblers may or may nut receive the halfpence from above, but their non-acting neighbours are certain of kicks from below. Entirely lawless, but very merry, are the ragged acrobats whose gyrations have brought together this string of spectators. A coat or a heap of tattered garments is placed upon the pavement three or four feet from the wall. Bagged youth No. 1 turns a summersault thereupon, resting on both bands at the critical moment of turning • No. 2 only uses one hand in the same trick ; and No. 3 either jumps clear from the ground, or his touch is so momentary as to be imperceptible. Sensation in the little throng below, murmured ad miration from the motley line of spectators above. Rosy-eheeked young female whose lilac-print rather short dress, huge street door key in hand, red bound memorandumbook with name and address of butcher or baker in gold letters on its back, bare arms to match binding of book, all denote domestic service as her vocation and household errand her present mission, pulls out a purse—a real leather packed, steel-clasped purse, with orthodox divisions for gold, silver, and notes--and throws therefrom a warm fat penny, which is immediately caught by ragged boy No. 6 or 7, who has done nothing but astutely watch the faces above, and mentally cal culate, like the Jamaica parson's black servant, which amongst them looked more give-ee than take-es," Asseverations, pugilism, scuffling, and dissatisfaction, until jovial mechanic, who has evidently been making merry, copies domestic servant, and casts more penes upon the seething little mob. Not like oil on troubled water by any means. Uplifted hands, vigorous pushings, a few yelps, cries of " Chuck 'em down, sir—chuck 'em down, my lady," as three or four more pence are thrown, when a whisper goes from mouth to mouth, and bundle is caught up, and boys disperse as the one policeman who has charge of the square is seen returning from the far side of that column which provoked from the old salt the com ment—" By Jove, they've mast-headed the Ad mi ral." Performers diversify their professional tumb ling by amateur agility over and about the east and west stone staircases • that nearest St. Martin's Church being esp ecially favoured, as affording more avenues for retreat in case of re appearance of obnoxious myrmidon. The old school game of "Tommy Touch-wood" is extensively patronised, defined portions of steps and parapet being substituted for wood. Tidy, formal old gen tleman aiming leisurely tip aforesaid steps receives tattered, barefooted, shock-haired young gentleman's bead in his stomach, and futilely bitting out with Malacca cane, is exhorted to keep his temper amid jeers and laughter from young gentleman's com rades. A party of two young and throe old ladies, obviously from the country, who are en joying the exciting treat derivable from a con templation of the outside of the National Gallery, are leas diverted than frightened by a boy dropping over parapet andsimulating intense paiu and severe internal injuries until he is commiserated ; when opening his eyes, kicking up his naked feet, and breaking into a grin, be jumpsup with a shout, and ' repeats his vaulting experiment before his cajoled sympathisers have recovered from their surprise, or progressed three yards. Other boys indulge in wild fandangos up and down steps , glide over parapet, squat behind corners, make 'basks" of the stone-pillars, and cause general bewilderment to ' ' uninitiated spectators. On the strata of pedestal running round the base of Nelson's column are , three sets of boys playing three distinct games of follow-my-leader ; on each iron network supplying fountains figure boys looking like shipwrecked mariners on a section of stranded hen-coop. Round each basin's edge are boys—dabbling, washing, chip-swimming, stone-throwing boys ; leaning against both walla are boys—hopping, jumping, leapfrog-playing on nearly every flag, are boys— look to the right and you see them making mock signals of distress to the distant policeman ; to the left alternately playing or fighting ; on the terrace practising the genial hop-scotch 'towards Whitehall, chevying an unhappy dog who for his sins has a rude paper bag over his head and eyes, and a highly ornate appendage culminating in a bit of old metal clattering at his tail. Dog having been chased from pillar to post, until his hunters are breathless, is divested of cum brous paraphernalia, and promptly plunged into basin nearest the Union Club. Not liking the society of the old oyster shells, broken dell, pebbles, and dirt he finds at the bottom, be makes strong physical protests against ducking, until he breaks loose, to be caught by opposition boys and subjected to same process in company of another dog at eastern basin. Meanwhile other sports go merrily On, and the temporary tumbling ground is occupied by recumbent figures, who are at once ragged and vivacious, dirty and disreputable, and blasphemous and coarsely funny, noisy and voluble. To say that there are many hours when no decent woman can traverse this Square, or ascend its steps, or pro menade its terrace without having her ears offended and her delicacy outraged, is to understate the fact ; to say that its purlieus are unfit for such feeble and aged people as don't like being frightened, and can't bear being jumped upon or bumped against, is to state moderately what any observer': may verify for himself. Mounting the steps again, we see the granite sides of the walls are of a bright and burnished darkness ; and, gain mg their iininnrit, that the vistaed parapet is like polished marble. This is all due to elbow-grease of the gymnasts. So is the shininess of the bronze lamp at the corner, one of the large rivets of which was miriag a few days back, and doubtless graces the warehouse of an accommodating d eel in I marine stems. The scene on the upper deck, so to &pair, has once more changed. The dispersion of the acrobats has done away with the long row of uniformly banded backs. Groups of raged dirty youths and men, old women, and young girls wimpy this space. These chat and gambol with surpassing freedom and rough playfulness. Mark, amid the many evil countenaacte, you bright-eyed, fair-haired, sensuous-faced, dimple-cheeked, plump-figured young devil-may-care of sixteen, as she bandies and reciprocates horse-play with the four repartee grouped round her. Find the one policeman relegated to this square, and ask him who and what she is, and you will learn that you have been admiring the Nancy of more than one juvenile Bill Sykes. The closely cropped hair, broad thick-set mouths, quick ner- I voila restless eyes of her companions, I all mark their profession as surely as the clergy man's gown or the barrister's wig—so do the evil expression; the twitching laughing mouths, the writhing shambling figures by whom you are sur rounded as you lean against the wall. These are thieves, leavened with pauws, perhaps, but mainly thieves. Wait until" — M lane coat and helmet appear upon the scene, and mark how they, have melted away, through the passage running under the Royal Academy building, round corners and up streets, until one of their scouts reports that the man to whose representative character they bear the same antipathy as the rat does to the ferret, is engaged with combatants, or pursuing gamesters on the fiat below. After dusk the females of the party lave themselves in the basin, go through some form of toilet, and follow the lowest branch of a calling which need not be further indicated ; ' while the worthless scamps who are tbeir hangers 'on follow at a distanoe, or remain within call, and if chance offers, ail their partners by open bullying or sudden raid. The men never show repose either in attitude or expression, and this more than any other trait confirms the character given them by the policeman. But the steps are once more alive. Over the parapet in rapid succes sion, much as the Bounding Brothers of Mesopota mia used to vault over the patient circus steed at Aatley's, drop the boys. Not all ragged, but having very young tradesmen errand boys and school lads amongst them, all of whom are being unoon scionaly moulded and influenced by the coarse bad natures at their side. Linendraper-looking boy, in vaulting over, drops a small parcel ; it is immediately seized by half a dozen of his playmates, who go through pantomine expressive of tearing it to bits, and finally plunge it in the basin nearest them, and return it with many mock apologies to its I weeping custodian ; boy hurts his ankle in spring- I ing down steps, and is promptly danced round by playmates of both sexes, whose innate savagery betrays itself iu their exultation at another's pain. Wicked old gentleman, with apparently one leg (his best) in the grave, fters away from these rough sports, and as soon as it is dark enough parleys with ragged bouris, and is cajoled or insulted ac cording to the amount of weakness he betrays. As night comes on, as the stars shine out one by one, until the mast-headed hero and the Northumber land-house lion stand out sharp and clear from the gold-spangled dark blue background of sky—when the suburban omnibuses, no longer crowded with homeward-bound clerks and citizens, pass slowly by with empty inside seats and deserted knife-boards —when the lighted-up roof windows of the Royal Academy speak of art being patiently studied, and of the painters of the future laboriously mastering the rudiments of their call ing—when thelUnion Club sheds its rosy light half way across the road, and its billiard-room becomes palpably occupied—when the pavement opposite gives place to a relay of stationary beggars, accord ion players, and venders of cigar lights—when gaudily dressed painted figures are trooping by St. Martin's Church, on their way from the bridges of Hungerford or Waterloo to Regent-street or the Haymarket—when the costermongers' fruit carts are either taken home or lit up with paper lan thorns and greasy dips—when Morley's Hotel seems at its busiest, and when cabs and five are constantly receiving cargoes of opera-cloaked, black-coated, white-cravated people from its doors— when the squirt-fountains cease playing, and their machinery shows gaunt and ugly on the star reflecting water—when the illuminated clock of the Victoria Tower yonder points to nine p.m. as the hour—then the space before you slightly alters its character. The parapet and stone steps of the north east corner are comparatively free from the romp ing horse-play in full force when your watch com menced. The steps are differently occupied. Those dark shapeless bundles are men and women, ea else boys and girls. So are the component parts of that long black heap huddled under the parapet stretching along the entire side of the square near est the National Gallery, over which you gazed at the tumbling a couple of hours ago. Go down the steps, and stand under the northern wall, and you see duplicates of the wild forms above crouch ing at your feet. The girls are combing each other's hair, after it has been duly damped in the basins ; the boys are lazily lounging by their side, and occa sionally holding ups little circular zinc-cased pocket mirror at such an angle that the light of the adja cent gas lamp may fall upon it, and their female companions may pot the finishing touches to their squalid toilet. The policeman approaches, and with a shuffle and some not muttered oaths the entire crew above and below slink off and disperse, just as they did in the afternoon. There seems to be no openly rebellious spirit amongst them, and they follow the direction of the tightly buttoned blue uplifted arm, which is this light is strangely like a giant cloth sausage, and disappear until its owner has departed, when they return and squat, swear, and wrangle, dress, and, lounge as before. In night or day this pro ceeding is so uniform, that it may well be asked why two additional policemen are not stationed in the Square. With one permanently in charge of terrace and steps the scenes witnessed there would be impossible, while auotber on the pavement below might easily keep it clear of its unsavoury, indecent rompers. The gentlemen who for the last six or eight years have encouraged wretched chil dren to turn wheels by the side of vehicles may now see the effect of their thoughtless copper-flinging in the brawny youths whose tumbling we have de scribed. To these amateurs of contortion and body toning the sports now rampant in Trafalgar-square may cot be without their interest, but to the com munity at large they stand out as a nuisance and a scandal which ought to have been abolished months and years ago.

The sews of the doctor's visit soon spread, and banners were at mice displayed in his honour. Firing commenced, and all the people who assembled to have a "look at him" heartily cheered him on his way to the steamer.

MUSIC. int. ALFRED MELLOWS OONCERTB. An enormous audience filled the Royal Italian Opera Roast last might, ationted by tie eoeeaameat of the following esleetire from the works of Beethoven, form ing the Ent part of the evening's programme : O►erture " Egmont** Ark,(Melte), Yr. Piney Concerto in dat, Plaastorte. Kerte Krebs Greed teens, .• gnat toror (Mello), Madames litadvesdorl The Pastoral Symphony The gloomy grandeur of the prelude to Goethe's noble drama, and the sunny and transparent beauty of the symphony, with its marvellous incidental storm movement, I were well contrasted sod each representative of dif ferent phases of their composer's mica, Both works, admirably performed, were listened to wit► delight, and applauded with enthrals= by the densely peaked audience. The most interesting fast= of the pro gamma, however, was the pianoforte playing of Knit Krebs. This very young lady bee rapidly gained a high position by the mechaaiml finish, the refined style, and intelligent reading which her performanoss display. No males test could be found than Beethoven's concerto in B fiat, the noblest of all works of the kind, sod its perform ance last night by Mdlle. Krebs was such as to entitle that young lady to rank among the beat pianists of the day. The veq elaborate diffieulties of the work, and the continuous demands made on the player's powers of exeoa• Wan, were unstained by Dias. Beet with ep weilaggig stresgth sad spirit but seldom met with in, pianists of me• Wet years. Of still higher value, however, is the clear. nem and distinctness of her phrasing, and the intention and signiticaoce imparted to every puler. We would rather have dispensed with the oc ta ves added by MAU. Krebs to the left hand triplet passages in the first movement. Liszt may be quoted as ea authority for snob and even greater innovations, but it is more severest to leave the text a a pest author in its original intoerigy- With great power and impulse Mademoiselle Krebs also premien th►t calm selboommand which marks the thoroughly well-trained artist. Of her reedy preparation in the highest school of pianoforte music,suer performance within a week, from memory, of two such elaborate end difficult works as Mendelasohn's concerto in G minor, sad that by Beethoven in E fiat, is sufficieet evidence. There should be a prosperous career for this young sad meritorious artist. She was received last night with wee enthusiasm than ever, being twice recalled after the conclusion of the mania The gaoler's song in praise of fgold, from Fiddio, one of the least effective pieces in [the open, was well sang by Mr. Patsy, whose voice, however, is scarcely weighty enough for the music. Madame Ruderadorff threw great energy ►ad expression into Leonora's celebrated invocation to Hope, proving the poriession of the required two octaves by touching both the high and the low B. The whole of the Beethoven selection was received with demonstration, of delight that would seem to argue a rapidly widening desire to comprehend the beauties of this !most noble and abstract of all the great composers. The second pert of the concert was made up of the usual miscellaneous materials, so that the entire evening was calculated to satisfy testes of the most various and opposite kinds, LORD PALMERSTON AT TIVERTON. Lord Palmerston, on Wednesday afternoon, at tended the races at nvertoo, and took nondurable interest in the sport. On reaching the course, accompanied by Mr. F. Hole and several other friends, his lordship experisoced a most hearty reception, and having takes hie place lon the viand, cordially amok hands with his old and well-known antagonist, Mr. Bowcliffe, with whom he entered into lively caovermtion.

(Cheers and laughter.) The House of 0011110100 s very much resembles a ran course. First of all ; parties go there sod run for the Queen's date. (Roars of laughter and cheers.)

(Cheers and laughter.) Our rules are somewhat similar to those which guide the turf, because there is that good feeling in the House of Commoes which gives weight for age. (Loud and prolonged cheering sad laughter.) It is very true that the young des are sometimes very apt to bolt out of the course. (Continued laughter.) We have use rule which is not enjoyed to the same degree by the turf—that is to say, that rometimes we rue • dead beat, which, in parliamentary latrine, is expressed by the weeds, "a tie."
