COM This is evidently a compromise, an attempt to combine in a single effort two widely different ' objects, and it is quite as successful as such at tempts usually are. Both objects are highly important, and if both can be effectively carried out so much the better. But the first, the monu ment proper, is by far the more important —the necessary and essential part, indeed—of the scheme, and if it is properly carried out we may still hope to have a national memorial worthy of the occasion. The general conditions which such a Memorial ought in our view to fulfil are simple, and easily stated. It ought to be strictly monumental, and a work of art, the noblest and moat expressive that the genius of the kingdom can supply. An obelisk would have met the first of these conditions, but not the second, which is at least equally important. It would be strictly monumental, and in some respects no doubt In imposing monument. If on a sufficiently large scale, it would impress the beholder with • sense of lonely vastness, grandeur, and material sublimity. But even with a decorated base, it could not in any true sense be regarded as a work of art. To erect such a column might be a great triumph of science and engineering skill, and it would of course be a standing monument of the difficulties successfully overcome. But it could not be • triumph of art, reflecting the taste, genius, and imagination of the poet of form, the thinker in bronze or stone. And being thus silent in relation to these higher qualities of thought, feeling, and expression, it would be • moat inappropriate and imperfect memorial of the PRINCE. We cannot at all regret, therefore, that the scheme of an obelisk was given up. A memorial hall or institute, on the other hand, meets neither of these primary conditions of a national monument. Instead of being purely monumental, and recalling of necessity to the mind of every observer the memory of the PRINCE, it would be devoted to ordinary uses, to purposes of business or pleasure, with which the thought and remembrance of the PRINCE would at moat be only accidentally connected. Nor could such a building, how ever admirable in itself, be considered as • pure work of art. Though its construction might be a triumph of architectural taste and skill, it would still be only a decorated utility. We should have regarded it, therefore, as most unfortunate and inappropriate had the Memo rial decided on by the Committee been simply a building of this sort—a public Hall or Institution. As we understand the recommendations of the Committee, however, the proposed Hall is to be only • subsidiary or supplemental part of the plan, and if it is carefully kept in this subordinate position the monument may still be a worthy one. The group of colossal sculpture in Hyde-park is to be the monument proper, and that accordingly is the first, and so far as the public at large is concerned, the main thing to be considered. It is moat important that this should be steadily kept in view in the admi nistration of the fund. The amount hitherto sub scribed would not be nearly sufficient to accomplish both the objects recommended by Use Committee. Sir William Fraser bas left town on a Conti. neotal tour.

To Tasmania there is no free emigration ; the emitted emigration is carried on by means of bounty tickets," which are procurable only in the colony; the holders of these tickets (payable in the colony) are left to make their own arrangements for passages with any private shipowner wbo will take the tickets in part payment.

' 9 EXPRESS FROM FARUI (nom ova owa 00l PARE, WIDNEWO EVZIMIG. The eztweedinary closing of the Bourse to-mor row, on the occasion of the review—so that with the fête of the 16th there will be two consecutive holidays—leads to the surmise that the Emperor must mean in some way or other to make a "sen sation." If he does not take an opportunity to make a speech, the Moniteur must, it is thought, contain some announcement which will make the Napoleon fête this year an epoch to be remembered. The National Guard has never been reviewed by the Emperor since it was reconstituted after the coup d'etat. At that time the citizen militia, once the boast of Paris, was dissolved. When slowly revived, its importance was studiously diminished. The officers, instead of being elected by the men, are now chosen by the Emperor, and instead of "every citizen" being a National Guard, no man is admitted into the force but by government ap pointment, and of course the whole body is pre sumably favourable to the dynasty. A very large proportion consists of government clerks and court tradesmen, whose devotion may of course be de pended on as long as their confidence lasts ; but besides these, a good many have been admitted into the ranks from considerations now obsolete, who, as years have rolled away, may very probably have acquired some political opinions of their own. Something, it is very rationally thought, will be done now to propitiate this class of men, and dis pose them to vote for the government at the coming election. That the Corps Diplomatique will not be received on the 15th—a proposition up to yesterday con sidered doubtful—is now positively stated by the Pays, which says, moreover, and as if announcing a substituted decision, that the Emperor and Empress will give a grand ball at St. Cloud to morrow evening. La France, though pretending not to believe in K Rataszi's (or, rather, General Durando's) diplo matic circular complaining of the French °amps tion of Rome, betrays a knowledge that such a measure would be in accord with the attitude of the cabinet of Turin, by reproaching that cabinet with not acting decisively against Garibaldi. If (it says) a French general had raised the standard of revolt an order for his arrest would have been sent by telegraph, and all would have been over in three hours. As it is, La France makes it a grievance that this scandal has gone on three weeks in Italy, and it piously exclaims, " Gol knows how much longer it will last." But, proceeds K de la Guarronnibre's journal, whatever uncertainty there may be at Turin we well know what France will do ; France, it appears, will insist upon three things :-Ist. The independence of Italy ; 2nd. The maintenance of the Papacy ; and 3rd. The influence of France. Now, it is quite obvious that the two latter propositions destroy the first ; they are absolutely incompatible with the independence of Italy. However painful and difficult M. Ratazzi's position may be in the face of his hard taskmaster in Paris, he cannot evade the dilemma before him ; the state of things is such that he must either be with Italy against France, or with France against Italy. I do not think he will remain a minister long after August 15. There is a rumour that the telegraphic wires between Sicily and Naples are cut. General Concha, Marquis of Havanna, the new Spanish ambassador, was received at the Tuileries to-day with the usual ceremonial. It is observed that in his speech to the Emperor he made no allu sion whatever to Mexioo, and the Patrie says that no negotiations in relation to that oouutry will be resumed with Spain until after the French troops shall have made themselves masters of the capital. That is a pretty long date—and thus fall to the ground the rumours assiduously disseminated that General Concha was coming here to disavow 1 General Prim, and renew the alliance for joint operations which he broke ofE The Patric, in announcing the arrival in Paris of the Marquis Papal, Italian Minister of Agri culture and Commerce, says that he has a mission to submit to the Emperor a plan for the occupa tion of Rome by a mixed garrison of French and Italian troops. Notwithstanding the conspicuous form in which the Patric gives this news, I think it more than doubtful. It is but the reproduc tion of a rumour circulating in Turin several days ago, and lately contradicted by the journals of that city. As far us I can judge of political symptoms here, I should infer that the Emperor is less disposed than ever to advance the cause of Italian unity. Of course the admission of an Italian force in Rome to do duty jointly with the French could only be meant as a prelude to the evacuation of the latter. THEI INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. There was a considerable falling-off in the at tendance yesterday as compared with the previous day, but it was still a good average attendance. The great majority of the country visitors appear to come from the western districts, the last excursion return of the Great Western Railway giving a total of about 9,000. It must not be inferred, however, that none are coining from , other quarters, as several railway companies which have been applied to by the commissioners have de clined to make any return. The members of the Belgian royal family, at present in England, again visited the Exhibition yesterday, and carefully ex ' mined several departments. The royal party having taken refreshment in the English depart ment, finished their visit with a careful examination of the English textiles. The highest temperature yesterday, as regis tered by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers, was :—ln the nave, 69.5 deg. ; in the galleries, 71 deg.

At the meeting of the Sheffield Town Council yesterday an address was adopted tc Lord Palmerston on the occasion of his remelt visit to the town. The address would have been presented while his lordship was in Sheffield, but the late period at which he accepted the mayor's invita tion left no time to prepare it. The MIATOR moved the address, which was as follows : "TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD PLUDERSTON. E.G., &C., FIRST LORD OP SIR 1111.11NTT'S TREASURY. We, the aldermen. an;llniniensesoitle borough of Sheffield, in the county of York, in council assembled, desire to express our heartfelt thank, to your lordship for honouring Sheffield with your presence on the occasion of the banquet given by his worship the mayor. "The liberal and constitutional principles which your lordship, by your enlightened and unwearied exertions, has maintained in the most important period of the nation's history, and the persevering support which your lordship, as Prime Minister of England, has given to measures calcu lated to promote the constitutional and social improvement of the country, renders your lordship an object of great in terest and respect to all your fellow-countrymen, and to none more than the inhabitant, of this borough. " Permit us to offer our warmest and best thanks for the many distinguished services rendered by your lordship to the state. " In connexion with the prominent part which your lordship has taken for upwards of half a century in the adminis tration of the foreign affairs of this country, we rejoice that our relations with foreign powers are at present friendly and satisfactory, and we desire to express to your lordship our great and unqualified satisfaction that England is determined to take no pert in the civil war which is still unhappily raging on the American continent. " [We should rejoice if a fitting opportunity should pre sent itaelf for your lordship's tendering the gond offices of England towards a reconciliation of the unhappy differenoes that distract America, and so seriously affect our com merce.] "In conclusion, we hope that your lordship may be spared, with health and strength, for many years to come, so that your great abilities, and integrity, and experience as Prime Minister of England, may conduce to the welfare and the happiness of all climes of the community. " Given under the Corporate Common Seal, August 13, 1862." Alderman V ICKLEB (the ex-mayor) seconded the ►doption of the address. Alderman FISIIISA moved as an amendment that the para graph with reference to intervention iu the American quar rel be omitted. America, he contended, would accept no European solution of her difficulties. No end of the quarrel would be permanently satisfactory unless brought about by the struggles of the belligerents themselves. and though we might atop the war for the time by interfering, it would speedily be renewed with increased bitterness. He con curred in every word of praise that bad been uttered of Lord Palmerton. The country wee indebted to him for great services, and he was one of the must unselfish and ►blest of our politicians. Alderman FAweerr seconded the amendment. He entirely concurred with Alderman Fisher. Besides, Lord Palmers ton had managed our relations with America with such consummate wisdom that we might safely leave them en tirely in his hands. Mr. Councillor Ilurcanisow supported the address in its integrity. He thought it time some one interfered in the wininary struggle. (" No, no ! let them fight it out.") The MAYOR said the language of the paragraph was very mild, but, wishing to avoid any discussion on the address, he withdrew the clause objected to and marked in brackets. Taus shored, the address was unanimously adopted amid applause. The Bourse, notwithstanding the uneasiness of some speculators about the risk of keeping accounts open during two days' holiday, was remarkably firm ; Ratite rose 15c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 95c. in each case. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c., and the Italian Loan 65c. The Lyons Railway rose Bfr. 75c., anti Southern 6fr. 25c. The other lines were firm at yesterday's quotations. Sir Robert Peel has arrived iu Paris from Lon don, and alighted at the Hotel Bristol. 1 A writer and draughtsman named Caboehe, well known as a prominent member of the "Bohemians" of Paris, has just expired. The following anecdote is related of him :—" He was returning from Ver. milks, when he heard that Fieschi had fired at the King, and the idea occurred to him that it would be a good speculation to sell the portrait of the conspirator, and, not to lose time, he drew the face of an ill-looking man sitting opposite him in the carriage in which they were travelling. A priutseller published the portrait, which was pur chased eagerly in Paris, and even by the very per son who had unknowingly sat for the likeness. This dash of a pencil produced to the artist several thousand francs." NAVAL AND MILITARY. ADMIRALTY, Artoun 13.—APPOINTRENTS. —Pay master F. T. Robins (additional), to the Formidable.

The fol lowing resolution has been unanimously adopted at a meeting of the United Liberal Association of North ampton :—" That this association, sympathising with Mr. Cobden in the statesmanlike view taken by him respecting the necessity of fortifying this country against our friendly allies the Emperor and people of France, and the anneals sary and extravagant expenditure indulged in by the go vernment., the prompters of the same policy in other direc tions, hereby tenders its wannest thanks to him for his able and independent opposition to the government schemes, which involve so great an outlay of public mousy for pur pones which, after all, are likely to prove abortive ; sod this association also expresses its high appreciation of the digni fied manner in which Mr. Cobden replied to the ungenerous attacks of Lord Palmerston in the course of the debates on those questions." THE ROYDON HALL MURDER. —Toatordity the MX men in custody—yiu, Joseph Obey, Thomas Stevens, George Allchin, John Claw)°, alias "Happy Jack of Sumer," John Hawker, sod Stephen Burgess —were brought up for re-examination, before Mr. J. Savage, at Town Mailing, charged with night poaching and the AM mur der of James Gray, a gamekeeper in the service of Major Cooke, of Rovdon Hall. East Peckham. The evidence of the prisoner Hawked', given at the last examination, was read over, and he made the following additional statement : —" I stood next to the man Luck, who shot the keeper. Luck wore a billycock hat and a shooting jacket. When Gray (the deceased) came up to us be mid he would knock our brains oat before we should get away, One of the men with me said • Stand bark you or I'll shoot you.' Gray said. 'For God's sake, my good fellows, don't shoot ; think of the Ooe that's above as. I don't be lieve there's a man among you will shoot.' One of our men said, ' You ain't agoing to bit any of us with that Sail, Mt you ?' Gray walked round us, and the same man raid, • Stand back, you aint acoing to boodle e'er a one of us.'" The witness then identified the lining of a hat which was found on the spot after the affray as having been worn as a disguise by the prisoner Stevens. Super ! intendeet Hulse said that he apprehended the prisoner Alkhia, who made the following statement :—" On the night of the 22nd of January last I was at the Magpie, at East Mailing, when Alfred Burr Luck, the person now awaiting his trial, came to me and asked me to go with him to East Peckham. I went oat with him, and at the top of East Malling.street we were joioed !by several other men. We all then went to East Peckham, and on the preserves of Major Cooke, where we shot four pheasants. We left the wood and went into a meadow leading to another wood. We were crossing the meadow when Gray and some other keepers came up to us. Gray said, 'lf you men don't stop, I'll smash some of year Brains out !' Gray struck at some of us with • flail, and shortly afterwards a gun was fired and Gray fell. I don't know I who fired the gun." Snlisequently the other prisoners were apprehended, and they were all eoefronted with Allchin. They all admitted having bees present in the any, but denied having fired the gun. The primmer, were fully com mitted on the charge of mansianghter sod night-poaching. INTERESTING MARRIAGE IN BRIGHTON. (From the Brighton Gazette.) • This morning a marriage is to be performed at the parish church, Brighton, to unite a lady and gentleman of colour, whose previous history gives to the ceremony a peculiar interest, chiefly to those who have been so long and so deeply interested in the African race, and who have watched the progress of civilisation caused by the influence of Christianity on the negro ; and the ceremony will alai tell our brethren on the other aide of the Atlantic that British ladies and gentlemen consider it a pleasure and • privilege to do honour to those of the African race wh o have proved themselves capable of appreciatiog the silvan =• liberal education. lhe lady, supposed t o b e an chieftain's daughter, was presented, when about the age of five years, to the late Captain Frederick Forbes, KN., who officially visited the King of Dahomey with a view to aid the suppression of the slave trade hi the interior of Africa, and in his book giving "I have account of the min i on b e thus describes the little gui : 'I have only to add a few par ticulars about my extraordinary present, th e Ju neau child.' In a former portion of these journals 1 have men tioned the Okeadon war one of the ca ptives of thi s dread ful slave-hunt was this interesting gir l. It is usual to re serve the best born for the high behests of royalty, and the immolation on the tombs of the deceased nobility. For one of these ends she had been detained at court for two years • proving, by her not having been so ld t o t h e slave-dealers, that she was of a good family. SA extraordinary a present would have been at least a burden, bad I not the conviction that, in consideration of the nature of the service I had performed, the government would consider her as the property of the crown. To refuse, would have been to have slatted her death warrant ; which, probably, would have been carried into execution forthwith. Immediately on arriving, I applied through the Secret ar y o f the Admiralty, and :delved for answer that her Majesty was graciously oilseed to arrange for the education and sub sequent fate of the child. Of her own history she has only a coefused idea. Her parson were decapiteted ; her brothenand sisters, she knows not what their fate might have been. For her age, supseed to be eightyears, she tea perfect genius ; s h e now speaks glish well, and has a great talent for music. She has won the affections, with but few exceptions, of all who have known bar, by her docile and amiable conduct, which nothing can exceed. She is far in advance of any white child of her age in endues of learning, and strength o r mind and affection ; and with her, being an excellent specimen of the negro race, might be tested the capability of the intellect of the black ; it being generally and erro- neously supposed that after a certain age the intellect becomes impaired, and the pursuit of knowledge impossible —that though the negro child may be clever, the adult will be dull and stupid. Her bead is considered so excellent a phrenological specimen, and illustrating such high intellect, that M. Pistruoci, the medallist to the Mint, has undertaken to take • bust of her, intending to present • cast to the author. Her mind has received a moral and religious impression, and she was baptized, according to the rites of the protestant church, Sarah Forbes Rosetta" Her Most Gracious Majesty has provided the means for completing the education of Miss Sarah Forbes &setts, whose knowledge and accomplishments make her aa orna ment for any society, and prove most satisfactorily that the African mind is capable of the highest intellectual attainments. Her Majesty has taken a great interest in her •marriage, and given it her full sanction. At the mine time shehas, besides presents from the royal family, herself provided the whole of the outfit, Ace. Mr. Jones Davis, the bridegroom, was originally a slave, taken by one of our cruisers, and educated in the schools of the Church Missionary Society at Sierra Leone, and showing himself to pommies great talents, and capable of profiting by education, was with the sanction of the Admiralty placed in an official capacity upon one of her Majesty's ships, under the cars of Captain Coon, R.N., and moved himself so useful and willing, as to gain the good wishes and opinions of both officers and men. He afterwards commenced trading on his own account, and is now • pros. Zunand influential merchant, at Lagos, employ. pwerde of 100 of his fellow countrymen, and trying to improve their moral and intellectual status. The ceremony is to be performed by the Bishop of Sierra Leone and the Rev. H. Venn ; and Mrs. Thompson has most kindly lent the garden at Weethill Lodge for the wedding breakfast. We understand there will be a large wedding party, mcludiog about twenty Africans, The bride will be attended by sixteen bridesmaids, of whom four will be ladies of colour ; and among the guests who are invited will be the Bishop of Sierra Leone, the Rev. the Vicar, the Revs. Veen Elliott, Babington, Faithful , Wa ll , Baas , &bon, Re., and Captain Forbes, Captain G. Forbes, Captain Coots, Re.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER. As the tide receded on Tuesday evening the large body of men who were at work on the ill•fated venal the Ganges, exerted themselves with unwonted seal, and by 11 o'clock yesterday morning it wee found practicable to effect an entry into the ship. Inspector Cox, of the Thames police, with several of his men, entered the cook's house, which was on the deck, and immediately effected an entry Into the cabin on the upper side of the vessel. After a search had been made thei body of the unfortunate native doctor, whose name is su pposed to be Barburghul, was die covered in his bunk. He ha l apparently been reading, as a book was found lying close by him in such a position as might have been thrown out of his hand on the vessel turning over. He is a young man about 24 years of age, and was dressed in • light pair of drawers and a dressing gown. A further search in the setae cable resulted in the finding of one of the seamen, named limpet. He is a man about 40 years, with a beard, and when found was completely dressed. He is supposed to have beau playing with a dog. as one was found lying close to him. From the position sa which they were fouad there was great difficulty in getting the bodies out, and in order to accomplish it a portion of the cabin had to be cut away. The bodies then fell into the water, and shells having been procured by Inspector Coil orders they were immediately placed in them, and conveyed to the Madsen dead house, where they now lie awaiting a coroner's inquest. With regard to the vessel she bas bess pl a ned the hands of Mr. Wood by the conservators of the Thames, who have taken charge of her, and adopted pre cautions for the prevention of aocidenta in the locality. This morning the Derrick is expected to come alongside , sad in the event of her coming up with the early tide there is every chance of her being floated by mid-day, am she is now entirely denuded of her rigging. It is believed !there are still three men and one boy on board. ALLEGED WILFUL DESTRUCTION OP SHIP& For some time put plate:cis have been extensively circulated throughout the country and advertisement& in• serted in the newspapers stating that it had become known that divers ships bad of late been unlawfully and maliciou sly east away and destroyed by lire or otherwise, with intent to defraud underwriter' and others, at the instance of frau dulent shipowners and their accomplices, sod that • reward of 2001. would be paid and a free pardon given to any persona who should give such information u would lead to the conviction of their accom plices. A case involving facts bearing upon the above wee yesterday brought before Mr. Raffles at the Liverpool Police-court, when Thomas Jamieson, late a sea captain and, we believe, a part owner of some vessels, was brought up under the following circumstances :—He had written a letter to a shipowner and merchant named Ruck• stun, in which he intimated that unless Ruckston gave hint money he would expose some joint 'litany connected with the destruction of ships. This letter wee handed by Mr. Ruckston to his legal advisers, said ultimately on Jamiewa refusing to retract the assertion as to Mr. Ruckston's bility he wee given into custody on the criminal charge of endeavouring to obtain money by intimidation. The information was yesterday laid against the prisoner ender the Act 2f and 2-5 Vie., cap. 96, which provides that who ever shall send any letter or writing, knowing the con tante thereof, to any person, with menaces, and with out any reasonable or probable cause, for the purpose of obtaining money, shall be guilty of felony, and liAle upon conviction to penal servitude for life. It appeared that some ten yews ago the prisoner became acquainted with the prosecutor, and be then suggested the purchase of a ship called the Roscoe. Rucknton and Jamieson then became joint owners of the Roscoe, and after she had made several voyages was (as Jamieson alleged in his letter) purposely lost at the requeat and instruction of Ruckaten. The following is an extract from JPollabal letter demanding an arrangement:—" Now any ipteutiotut are that I must have a settlement, for I cannot lose the opportunity the advertisement gives me of exposing our joint . villany when you reaped all the reward. " I would advise you to come to term" immediately." The prisoner and Mr. Backstop had also transactions with another vowel, the Marino, about which there was some difficulty respecting a mortgage deed, and Jamieson bad quarrelled with the prosecutor several times about it. The solicitor for the prosecution *tided that ou seversl owasioes the prisoner had been most abusive to his client before be had sent the letter of intimidation. For the defence it was contended that Jamieson would be able to substantiate the allegations made in his letter if a remand was granted ; and that be would not only be able to substantiate thew allegation*, bat expose a gigantic system of swindling practised upon underwriters. A remand was then granted, bail being refused. THE CHASE Arm. H AYES. —lt is ascertained that Hayes, the supposed murderer of Mr. Bmddell, has been for some days wandering over the Kilcommon moostains. The polies are epos his track. but they are always • dal late. He is sccompseied by a young man who never Isms Dim, helping him over the fences and the rocks. and keeping watch and ward while he sleeps. He is readily sbelterM by the pssssatry, who do not hesitate to my to the police. It would be a greet pity the poor fellow was taken, for be behaved sea great soldier and • true friend to the Per secuted lematay of Ireland." lAA Tbanday night Sub. Inspector Mullarkey, with forty men, searched every home upon eleven towolanda. They fully expect to be able to capture the fugitive before many days elapse. CURIOUS SUPIRSTITION.—At the Belfast police wart a woman was tried for steel* a coat. Her defame was that a woman told her if she stole a man's coat sod cut seven buttons off it that would be a charm, and cure sore foot which bed troubled her for many yearn. The ease was postponed for a day to see d the woman could be found,
