IF, when our ParNcEss Rove, married, we had been told that we could feel a yet deeper and tenderer sympathy with one of the daughters of England on her wedding day, we should have de clared it impossible. Yet it is even so. Amidst all the bright demonstration of that day there was, as there is at all true weddings, a strength of emotion giving a sense of pathos, which we could hardly have believed could be more deeply felt. Yet we now find it otherwise. It moved us then to see such young parents giving their first-born to mark the beginning of a new generation. It moved us to see the traces of approaching death in the aged grandmother. The overflowing happi ness and goodwill of the bridegroom moved us— delighted as he was at our enthusiasm about onr eldest Princess, and so did the sensibility of the young bride at the moment of passing over from the one to the other home. Altogether, there was so much pathetic feeling under all the accla mation and brilliancy that perhaps everyone of us was surprised at his own emotions, and would not readily have believed that they would ever be stronger on a royal wedding-day. To-day we find how little we knew. The next of our young Princesses marries with the approbation and sym pathy of all the world, as her sister did. The en gagement was understood to be altogether gratify ing to her parents, while it wan most acceptable to a whole people who regard love matches more benignly perhaps than any other nation in the world. In respect to the union itself there is everything to rejoice in, and we do rejoice in it; but it is with a singularly grave, tender, and solemn congratulation. Young as these young people are, they are chastened by long and anxious waiting, and well disciplined by disappointment. Again and again has their wedding-day seemed to be drawing on ; and once more it has been set back to a distance. Again and again has Death bade Marriage wait. If " they who sow in tears shall reap in joy," we may hope for a full harvest of happiness by and by for the generous and patient young lovers who have had so many tears to shed for family bereavr ments, and have applied themselves to comfort others while themselves carrying such heavy hearts. It is this devotedness, which seems to them so simple a matter, which so deepens our feelings to-day. If all had gone gaily, wa should have believed everything of our young Pungens, as we did of her sister, and have hoped everything for her from the discipline of life which comes to all ; but, as it has happened, the discipline has come before the going out into life, and we know the good we were ready to believe. Prince Loins must always have been assured of the national goodwill towards his bride ; but now he receives her dowered with the rich portion of a nation's serious and cordial respect, over and above all the affectionate admi ration due to her abilities and her accomplish ments. To us she will always be the Pangezas who watched by her father's pillow, who sum monedher brother there, who sustained hermother, and put aside her own interests and feelings, and trusted her betrothed to do the same, for the sake of the other mourners under a grief in which her own share might have seemed to be enough. It was the universal hope that the delay might not be very long. The sooner there could be a quiet wedding in the quietest family retreat the better pleased the nation would be. We rejoice that it is to-day ; and, when we remember the many months of mourning and heart sickness which have been gone through since t1“1 wedding-day began to be talked about, we remem ber also how young these lovers are, so that it is still full early for them to be setting forth on their own special career. They begin it under a manifes tation of many and rich blessings. They know each other, by means of their varied and grave discipline, as few young couples do ; and they have a very unusual sense of the realities of human life, in its experience and in its aims. If they may tremble at it under so many proofs of the transitorinesa of this world's arrangements, they have all the firmer hold of their own life-projects, and of each other. As for the rest, everybody greets them heartily, honours them truly, and wishes them well. All that may be innocently desired and confidently hoped is universally hoped and desired for them to-day ; and the blessing uttered from the heaving heart of a nation is an augury for good not the less splendid for being solemn. If our thoughts follow those of our Psixclaa to day, they will rest with her brother. He is hav ing a large share, for one so young, of the great partings which divide our lives into periods. With him, these come ve-y near together, and he has now lost the friend woo stood next when his father was gone. He is called early to the serious business of life, as his sisters are to their life's homes. As his 'slither remains at her post of duty and responsibility, when husband and daughters are called from her side, it is for the son to abide with her, and do what in him lies of the offices of those from whom she has been parted, or whom she has generously dismissed to live their own life. This memorable year will be one which he will not hereafter shrink to look THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, .JULY 1, 1862. back upon u one in which he was called to begin his life's work too, and devote himself to his mother's aid, as his sister has done to her support and consolation., When his quality is thus proved as his sister's isa been, we shall look out joyfully for the timo when he too may have a nation's blessing on his wedding-day. The House of Commons has paned the Bill for carrying out the proposed works of fortification, and has done so by a large majority. The argu ment most frequently heard on behalf of the Bill was that to reject it would be to reverse a "solemn decision" of the House taken two years before. We may admit the epithet on behalf of the oonsequences of the decisioil ; but in no other sense, for the House has rarely acted with lees de liberation and responsibility than it did on that occasion. In fact, it did then what Mr. Kurcarits advised it, very unnecessarily, to do last night ; it declined to consider the merits of the plan proposed, but took Lord PALLmmurron for its chief adviser, the Pawns himself being advised by a number of old officers. And the Member for Bridgewater, after recommending this demonstration of imbecility, can still talk of the re sponsibility of Lord Pamenurrow to Parliament. A house of Kr roLexits would debauch and ruin the best minister who ever held office. The small band of members who, of various opinions on constitutional politica, are agreed in the conviction that National Defence is the affair of the assemblies of the nation, who hold that its plan should be intelligible in order that it maybe heartily adopted by the whole country, and who therefore are not Trilling that it should rest on the ap proval of one aged statesman however eminent, deserve the thanks of all who wish to see the pub lic service conducted with efficiency under the vigilant guardianship of the House of Com mons. We entreat them to persevere in their present course, and not to think that their labour is lost because the Government can overwhelm them on a division. It has rested entirely with them in these discussions to maintain the delibera tive character of the House, while many were ready to decline in a spirit of subserviency the exercise of the functions they were elected to discharge. They have useful work yet before them. Let them not cease to expose the unreality of this pretended scheme of defence, its isolation, the contradiction in which it stands with the evidence received by the Defence Commission, and the danger that a blind acquiescence in it may lead to false confidence and neglect of precau tions calculated to give us real safety. We see now once more how wise was that spirit of distrust of governments which gave us our splendid army of Volunteers. Governments may spend the taxes,. but the nation must defend itself. Tex Quarterly Revenue Returns once more present the feature of a nett increase, though a very small one, coinciding with an important decrease in the two great feeders of the public Treasury. Competed with the corresponding period of last year, the present quarter shows a clear increase of 11,3101., while a falling off of 30,0001. is noticeable in the Customs, and of 285,0001. in the Excise. The decrease in the Excise contrasts strongly with the large increase which the last quarter's returns exhibit ; but the smallness of the deficiency in the Customs revenue, having regard to the continuance of the American war, is satisfactory, the more so that last quarter it reached 100,0001. The Income Tax shows an increase, but one not nearly so large as that of last quarter, and the same may be said of Stamps. Looking at the revenue of the quarter as a whole, it shows a remarkable constancy under the operation of depressing forces. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COXIIONB.—Toss 30.

Prince Paul Esterhazy, who is in Lis 77th year, fell a few days ago, while walking in his roo,n at Carlsbad, and broke him leg. Letters from Madrid announce as not impossible the return into Spain of the Infante Don Juan de Bourbon, who is said to have recognised on certain conditions the go vernment of Queen Lobelia. According to the Madrid journals Pope Pius IX. has addreased the following congratulatory letter to the Queen :—" We have heard with pleasure of the happy delivery of her Majesty, and we pray Ood to preserve her health and that of the newborn infanta. We heartily Man the whole royal family." The Japanese ambassadors are occupying them selves at the Hague by visiting all that is interesting in the neighbouring towns and cities previous to their reception by the King, which is expected to take place in a few days. They hare visited Amsterdam, and are going to Leyden, to inspect the university. A gentleman, M. biathlon (de la Drama), who filled no undistinguished place in the French republican assemblies of 184 d, affirms that he has discovend regular tides in the atmosphere precisely analogous to those of the sea, which reduce varieties of temperature to settled rule, by which the weather can be foretold days, weeks, nay, months, in advance, with scientific accuracy. While the number of voluntary contributions for the benefit of the sufferers by the St. Petersburg fires remains small, one M. Verouine, a wealthy proprietaire, who has been frequently castigated for his economy in the columns of the St. Petersburg Punch, has availed himself of this opportunity to redeem his reputation. The sum subscribed by this gentleman amounts to 50,000 roubles, and has brought him the honour of an autograph letter of thanks from the Emperor. Accounts from Valence in the Drome state that new silk has been offered for sale in several markets. The disease among silkworms has been considerably less destruc tive this year than last, but the effect has not been uni form. In some places there has been no loss, while other silk growers in the neighbourhood have lost nearly all their worms. In the here the result has been less satisfactory than was expected, and the cocoons are seminally light. The silk producers in the Drums and the Ardecke have been more fortunate. Some time since 300 Viennese made an excursion to Tricete, bat little or no notice was taken of them by the inhabitants. A few days ago two trains conveyed 1,000 Hun prians from Path to Trieste, and they on their arrival were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Half the inhabitants of the place went to the railway terminus to meet them. and they were loudly cheered u they marched in proemial to the city. 111 the evening the ifunprians went to the theatre to hear Verdes Ifrnaai, and there was a tremendous uproar when "Skew tutti fratelli" (We are all brethren) was sung. The shoots of " EVTIV&" and " Eljon" are said to have bee perfectly deafening. LATEST INTELLIGENCIL THE MEXICAN ALLIES OF THE FRENCH. The Prase says : We have been deceived as to the real state of Mexico and the spirit of the population. Imprudent advisers have ex posed our corps d'arni6e. We have a right to demand a strict account of General Almonte, M. Guttieres, the priest Mi• rand*, and all those who have led the government into error for an object too easily comprehended. We do not believe that they can have been deceived in this matter, or carried away by a love of boasting. Our soldiers were promised a rain of flowers, and they are received with a shower of bullets ; the people, who we were told were en thuaiaetic, cover their towns with barricades. Under each circumstacces boasting is almost prevarication. The Opinion Nationale says that harmony had ceased to reign between General Lorencez and General Almonte, who had promised imposing manifestations in his (Almonte's) own favour. The Temps refers to an extract from a Mexican paper which is published under the auspices of Almonte, and says : Not content with having deceived our army as to the disposition of the Mexican people, these deserters now accuse our general of having been wanting in skill and pru dence. We cannot express our utonishment at such a re proof. When one has the imprudence to place loyalty and bravery at the service of such people one ought not to expect any other reward. This simply proves that it is ne cessary to choose our anise. BELGIIIIL Advicee from Brussels state that the liberty of the press is seriously menaced in Belgium, the Minister of Justice, K Taich-Fceder, having pro posed a bill introducing great severity towards the public journals, and authorising legal proceedings against correspondents of foreign papers. Numer ous petitions are being signed against the measure. PRUSSIA. The King of Prussia has just received a deputa tion from the electoral circle of Elbing-Marienbnrg, to present an address of loyalty on the part of 177 conservative electors. The address stated that it expressed the true sentiments which animated the great majority of the inhabitants of the district, and particularly in the more rural portions, towards the person of the King and his throne, in respect of the unexpected result of the last election of deputies. The reply of his Majesty is thus given by the New Prussian Gazette: I wee sorry to see that the elections terminated so un favourably. I was grie►ed to find that I was so much mis understood. I will, however, by no means lay the blame on the people, but only on the agitators, for it was designedly spread among the people that I would not adhere to the constitution granted by the late revered King. This, how ever, is by no means my intention. I will rather firmly ad here to the programme announced by me in November, 1858, and hope that the deputies will become unanimous and confident, as 1 am completely in accord with my minis ters. I am much rejoiced that you are faithful and attached to me and my house, and I am confident that you will pre serve your confidence for the future. AUSTRIAN ITALY. The /to2ie reports that at Mantua, Verona, and San Benedetto, an imposing manifestation celebrated the anniversary of the battle of Solferino. Funeral masses were celebrated in spite of the Austrian police, who caused numerous patrols to peram bulate the streets. The population, in mourn ing attire, crowded the churches, and assisted en masse at the commemorative ceremony. (itOTEI . II TZLZOLAXIM MEXICO. THE REPORT FROM GENERAL LORENCEZ. PARIS. JULY 1. The report of General Lorencez, dated Orizaba, May 22, has been published. It gives the details of the attack on Guadeloupe by the French, on the sth May. It states that the fire of the enemy's artillery was very brisk and well directed. General Lorencez was deceived as to the importance of the fortifica tion of Guadeloupe, which was represented to him as an unimportant work. The vigour and courage of the French troops were admirable. They were, however, obliged to retreat. "Our losses," says General Lorencez, " were 15 officers killed and 20 wounded, 162 rank and file killed and 285 wounded. Information re ceived gives the loss of the enemy at 1,000 men. I waited on the plateau of Amozoc until the 11th of May for the Mexican allies, whom I announced had the intention of joining us, but without effect, for on the morning of the sth of May General Zuologa made an arrangement with Juarez engag ing himself to hold the army of Marquez in check while we were before Puebla. This dissipated our illusions. Our retreat was effected without lute'. ruption from the ecemy." General Lorencez confirms the account published by the French journals of the "glorious affair" of the 18th May, in which the enemy, he states, lost a flag, 1,200 prisoners, 150 killed, and 250 wounded. The health of the French troors is good, and ,they are in excellent spirits. ITALY. PALERMO, Jun 30. The royal princes have left for Trapani.

Sunday being the octave of the Fite Dieu, the Pans churches were thronged with gazers upon the loll; processions of priests which took place, sometimes within the church, sometimes without. The higher orders of the clergy in their rich vestments, attended by all the in ferior ecclesiastical bodies, marched in grave solemnity, preceded by military music, with tapers, with incense, and with banners, making a considerable show. The pulpits were for the most part filled with the first preachers in Paris. That their discourses could not have stink deep on the senses of all their auditors, may be supposed from the fact that a very considerable portion of the well-dressed community mounted their carriages immediately after the ceremony, and wee borne away with fishiosable rapidity to the races which took place at IA Marche that day. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (7ROX *us owN PARIS, MONDAY EVINMO. The false rumour that General Forey sailed from Cherbourg on June 28, on board the Forfeit, is attributable to the fact that an officer of his staff, Major d'Ornant, really went out in that vessel. The Patric reports that he has a mission to inform General de Lorenoez of all that bas been decided in Paris on the subject of reinforcements. The Patric, confirming the substance of the news I sent yestenlay, says that a small corps will leave Algiers for Mexico about the sth July, and will proceed directly to Guadeloupe, there to take up its quar ters in the Jacob Camp, a " most healthy plateau," where it will pass the months of July and August. [lt is observable that every authorised paragraph relating to Mexico, published in Paris, betrays the utmost anxiety to counteract the impression in the army that the outgoing troops are condemned to be decimated by yellow fever.] If, "contrary to all expectation," General de Lorencez shall tell Major d'Ornant that be stands in need of immediate reinforcements, he will eend orders to Guadeloupe that the men to be stationedithere shall join him at Orizaba. It remains arranged that the bulk of the forces destined for Mexico will only arrive there at the end of September or beginning of October. A letter from Qberbourg, of the day before yes terday, June 28, says that the maritime prefecture has received orders to suspend the armaments for Mexico. The 62nd Regiment, which arrived at Toulon on June 27 from Rome, under the impression that it was to embark immediately for Mexico, found counter orders, and is now on the march for Lyons. The Bourse was very heavy at the close. Rente fell 20c. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 68fr. 20c. and 681 r. 15c. Mobilier fell sfr., and the Italian Loan sc. The Lyons Railway fell 6fr. 25c. ; Orleans, 3fr. 754. ; and the other lines about Ur. 25c. Caine Mirbs fell 7fr. 50c., closing at 50fr. The Prase asks whether a line in the Monitewr's bulletin on the subject of Beryls may not be of transceudant importance I The Moniteur says : "The only mission of the Ottoman commissioner sent from Constantinople to Belgrade waa to stay hostilities, and make inquiries on the spot, the question of the relations between Turkey and Servia having to be decided elsewhere." Thequery of the Prase is whether these latter words mean that diplomacy is about to occupy itself with the question, and consider the opposing interests of France and Russia on the one part, and England, Austria, and Turkey on the other part. Marshal Magnan has met with a severe accident, having fallen down in a bath room and broken one of his ribs ; he is reported to be out of danger. M. Gerome, the painter,with four brother artists, two of whom are his pupils, has met with a sad mishap in Syria. The party was set upon by a horde of marauders and dreadfully ill-used. It is reported that one of them, a young man of family and fortune, has died from the injuries received. The French government has applied for satisfaction, but the Pacha excuses himself on the ground that he cannot be responsible for individual crimes. PRINCE NAPOLEON ON THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The following is the text of the speech delivered by Prince Napoleon at the dinner given at Kensington to the foreign exhibitor' : "Gentlemen,—l thank your honourable chairman for the kind words which he has uttered in proposing my health. lam also anxious to engem my thanks to the exhibitors for the assistance) they have afforded to the imperial commission over which I have the honour to preside. We are in • position to appreciate the difficulties which they have met with, and which they have surmounted with ardour and devoted ness. On the occasion of the Exhibition of 1862 allow me to revert to the past. In 1849 the first idea of • Uni ! vernal Exhibition had its birth in France, but the political incertitude of the moment did not permit its realisation ; the English nation, however, and at its head Prince Albert, seised on that idea with the bold and practical spirit which characterise' this great country, and carried it into OLOCU tion two years after. Europe was emerging from • violent crisis by which she had been profoundly agitated ; England did not, however, hesitate, and the success responded to he s expectation. Is 1856 our armies were engaged upon a foreign soil in • grad war; but we did not hesitate, and success a second time responded to the confidence which a great nation should always have io itself. Without insisting on the benefits of universal exhibitions, there is, however, one point to which I would all your attention ; it is, that they not only favour material, but moral in terests. At the same time that they extend commercial relations, they appeal to feelings of patriotism. Far from causing jealousy among rival nations, they excite • noble emulation squally profitable to both ; for, in my opinion, when • nation makes a great progress, all countries profit by it, and it is a progress for the whole civilised world. Universal exhibitions will consolidate the equilibrium necessary between great independent states. We may, perhaps, express the desire that in future universal exhibitions thebuildings constructed mays/low the product, to be grouped with greater method—not only by nations, but also by categories—in order to facilitate, by thus bringing them into contact, their comparison, and the progress which result, from it. As to my confidence in the future of those great international meetings, it is entire, sad I have no doubts ; because at our epoch all serious progress remains acquired for ever, owing to the applications of steam and electricity, and, thanks to printing, it is no longer pos sible to conceal the light when it has been once produced. This development of international relations is an additional guarantee for the liberties necessary to all civilised states." Yesterday afternoon Prince Napoleon and suite paid a visit to the Thames Graving Docks, adjoining the Victoria Docks, and were met by Mr. A. B. Beatty, tho secretary, audother officials of the Thames Graving Dock Company. His highness proceeded to inspect the working of the company's system ; the large ship Astronomer, 1,100 tons, belonging to Messrs. Harrison end Co., of Liverpool, being lifted yesterday, and all the pontoons being engaged, the visitors had an excel lent opportunity of seeing several first-class skip high and dry out of the water, undergoing repairs of all kinds. The officials having fully explained this system of docking vessels at all states of the tide, and it, pendia: adaptation to iron ships in consequence of full exposure to the drying influence of the air, his imperial highness ex pressed himself highly gratified with what he had seen, and at the great superiority of this over all existing systems. Having thanked the secretary for the courteous manner in which he had been received, and wished the company complete success, his imperial highness, with his I suite, returned to London by special train. The Paris correspondent of the Saint Public of Lyons has the following curious piece of information : " There are at present throe great exhibitions open to the public in London—The Universal one, that of Agriculture, and lastly, that of M. Handel, at the Crystal Palace. Yesterday upwards of 80,000 persona whited them three establishments. There never was a greater crowd." The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa devotee a lead ing article to the subject of the cultivation cif cotton Ia Italy. It remarks on the fine climate of Italy, and on the fact that sixty-three samples of Italian cotton are at this moment exposed to view at the Great London Exhibition. It adds that several English firms have applied to the go- vernment of Turin far permission to survey those tracts of land which might be advantageously applied to the cultiva tion of the article in question, and th►t M. d'Anfors di Li cignano, Italian consul at New York, has mot over 1,2001 b. of seeds of Sea-Island cotton for experiments on a lugs Kale.

Mr. Lush, Zr. Kerslake. and Mr. Hoomman appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bovill and Mr. Guth for the de fendant. The plaintiff's counsel commenced by laying before the jury evidence in reference to handwriting. Mr. Merritt, 'lathier at the London and County Bank at B.omford, said b• had known the handwriting of the de fondant for many years, both as ► customer of the book and as director of a banding society with which witness was connected. He believed the addremes on the envelopes were in the defendant's handwriting. Mr. Lush—Now look at the libels. Whose handivrituig do you belie►e them to be io Witome—l do not know the handwriting. Ido not rsocesiss it. Ido not come here as a witness willingly. Mr. G. Addison, who had been for six years clerk in the hank at Bamford, said he was very well acquainted with the defendant's signature—more so than with his hand. writing generally. As far as he could judge, the addresses upon the envelope were in the defendant's handwriting. Mr. Harelske—Gui you form any opinion as to whose handwriting the libels themselves are in Witness—l cannot. Mr. Cornelius Green erprused his opinion that the ad dream on the envelopes were written by the defendant. ' Mr. John Davis gave a contrary opinion, and Mr. Boyd., the defendant's solicitor (who wu called for another purpose), said that the writing on the envelopes was not at all of the same character as the defendant's writing. Mr. Nethercliff and Mr. Allard, experts In boid. writim gave evidence to the effect that they believed that the adme n opoo the envelopes were in the defendant's w rr.‘Davy, the plaintiff, proved the receipt of the loony. moos letter by his wife, and weld that them wee not one word of truth in it.

This she did, sod her object then being certain, I sprang after and 'seized her as she was in the act of plunging into the water. She struaded very hard to accomplish her purpose, and afterwards, when I questioned her as to the motive for such a wretched act, she replied that her mistress had, late on the previous evening, sent her out on an errand, that some man got into conversation with her, and afterwards induced her to aocompury him to some house where he accomplished her ruin, that s he was consequently ashamed and afraid to return at two o'clock is the morning, and after walking about for more than an hour in great trouble, she resolved to destroy herself. The parents of the prisoner, very decent persons, in great distress, stated that they had not seen their daughter sines last Whit.fgooday, until made acquainted with the lament able circumstance now before the clod, and that they thought she was comfortably settled in service. She had always been a very good girl, and they could not at all account for her having been thus lured to ruin. The constable added, in answer to questions from the magistrate, that he had seen the prisoner's mistress, who had refused to take her back after the commission of so serious an attempt as that in question. The prisoner made no contradiction of her story to the police, and was remanded. WZATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TUESDAY. JULY 1, E LE. L L IL D. 3. D. L L L Naos 29.67 62 48 W. 4 4 h Lanni 19.
