INTELLIGENCE FROM (Rstrrzz' e TELEGRAMS.) FRANCE. PARIS, Jur: 29. Judgment has been given to-day in the case of the United States government and M. Armand. The judgment states that the contracts of 1863 contained no stipulation leading to the supposi tion that the order for the vessels had been given by the Southern States ; that consequently it was useless to examine if the vessels were destined for service in the China 8088, or if the vessels had been constructed in violation of the French declaration of neutrality of 1861. The court c msidered that the United States had not established the fact of the sums paid to M. Armand being their property, nor that such sums came out of the treasury of the Southern States. The court, therefore, condemned President John son to pay the expenses of the suit, and declared that documents abstracted by a dishonest servant could not serve as the basis of an action, and ordered their suppression, and also the suppression of various passages in the bill of plaint. The court especially declared to be unfounded that in which M. Armand is accused of havin i g a =l: use of his position of deputy to deceive the Mi nister of Marine. In the cross action brought by M. Armand, the court has granted him damages and interest. GREECE. A121E1178, ZIILT 27.

The cham ber, by a large majority, passed to the order of the day considering the ministerial explanations satisfactory. MDLLZ. HISSON.—The young debutante, says Gotiptoed, is not yet a Marion, neither is she equal in vocalisation to her compeers, Mme. Gneymard or Mdlle. Same, but she has a rich, mellifluous, mezzo-soprano voice, which she manages with singular dexterity. She singe in time and in tune, and though she may have much to learn, she has nothing to unlearn. She has a fine comely person, somewhat de ficient, perfutps, in that ineffable grace which the French call " distinction," but she is scarcely out of her teens, and a brilliant singer may be fashioned out of such materials. TUE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.—The Emperor, it is announced from Plombieme, finds himself in perfectly good health under the thermal treatment. His Majesty is out in the open air a long time daily, sometimes on foot, and sometimes in a char-h--bane . A letter from that place says :—" The greatest simplicity exists in the rela tions between the chief of the state and the people here. His Majesty in going out is aocom lamed by a few friends rather than • suite, and la often accosted with a respectful familiarity, here by a child approaching to o ff er him • bunch of flowers ; farther on by an invalided soldier presenting a petition; sad in another place a manufacturer invites his Majesty to inspect his establishment , or a curl comes to spoilt of the wants of his parish. Everything that might be considered of an official character hes been laid aside, and there is no ceremonial or etiquette. Never has the Sovereign any where been in closer contact with the people." Tuz DiAzzLz fkozza or Ascizzfr ltomz.—A letter from Rome, in the Journal do Bruales, says:— " The discoveries at the Emporium continue, greedy to the satisfaction of the antiquarian connoisseurs and to the increased reputation of Commander Visconti, whom the Pope has just nominated a baron, as doubtless you have heard. The excavators have found 432 blocks of marble of colossal dimensions, 1,266 others suitable for statues, for the pavement of churches and of public buildings, and upwards of 2,000 of smaller size. All the conclusions of Baron Visconti with respect to the topography of the ancient city leads to the belief that these stores of marble occupied not mil= Emporium but eatended along the Tiber as far as cc great a vitality did the Roman administration at tl.ot period when it stretched its authority over &I se :: tire known woad, °vizi after the fall of the empire. These marbles, quarried in Egypt. Greece, Asia Minor, and Africa, continuing to arrive at Rome by see and by the Tiber, wore accumulated along the banks of the river when the decline of the empire prevented the erection of further monuments."

The Pima instanoes Mr. Disraeli's speech last sight as another illustration of that passion for strung colouring which is one of the few constant chanicterertice of his nature. There is not a paragraph in it that can bear analysis. It is almost incredible that, with the writ of Habeas Oorpus suspended in Ireland, and other ugly symptoms of public opinion there, a responsible minister can deliberately state that the condition of that country "is • subject of the utmost congratulation." The con clusion of the people on this bead will Do made manifest when November comes, and the injustice, which is the root of Irish discontent, will be removed. The conservatives may flatter themselves that there is • man of ignorance and prejudice ready to support them, but they will find that they are trusting to a resource as unreel in effect as the hope of it in discreditable to them ; and the delusion they entertain is explicable only when we remember that they follow a guide who habitually confuses the boundaries of truth and error. SIM TRAICre no Daily News thinks it probable that the river traffic will be largely increased by the embankment. Road, railway, and footpath will servo to bring the population to the river as well as to bear them from it. The river steamers will probably be the first to profit by the nearness of their places of call to the stream of passengers. At present we only see the river from the bridges, henceforth we shall see it from the shore. The places of call for the . . steamboats are out of the way, hard to Had, not very easy of steer, and extremely uninviting when they are reached. But the new and splendid landing-stages of the embank ment, approached by Bights of granite steps and close upon the footway, will attract thousands to the river who now never venture on its surface. Instead of diving into narrow streets to reach a dirty landing-stage, which when reached suggests the squalor of a maritime quarter, there will be nothing to do but to step from the pavement to the landing-stage as simply as one climbs to the roof of an omnibus. Then, too, the river is in sight, and the boats are gliding up and down, and suggesting the smoothness of the silent highway as making travelling easier than the rattle of the streets. In short, the natural relations of the people with the river will be re-established. Every improvement almost in London during the past few years, the Star says, has been at the expense of the houses of the working-classes ; and the knot is—How are we to house them and to give to each his, or her, 600 cubic feet of space ? Cause an exodus from 8k James's, Westminster, and where are the emigrants to go ? East, west, north, or south ? when in each quarter one imagines he could give proof that the overcrowding evil is greater there than elsewhere. As it is, manufacturers follow the example of the butchers in our markets, and crowd into one neighbourhood. The scattering of our factories would be a something, since each would take with it its little world of workers, ready to camp round the place which gave them bread; but even this would be but a drop of water in the ocean of the difficulty. The problem is a difficult one to solve ; but we have those among us whose lives are spent in con tending with such difficulties. Let, then, some able philanthropist see to it. LIBERAL The Herald enlarges on the defection of the Duke of Portland, Lord Bute, Mr. Henry Baring, and Mr. D. Gurney. Mr. Gladstime, it sap, has cancelled the tradi tion, of his school.

ACTION FOR LIBEL AGAINST A NEWSPAPER AT THE SHILEWIBVST 1113131Z111. —Yesterday, before Mr. Baron Pigott, an action was tried which was brought by Mr. Charles Corbett, chief clerk in the employ of the Midland Banking Company at Leeds, against the proprietors of the Liverpool Jlereury. On the 4th March last the plainti ff was dressing himself, and on taking his coat off a chair a pistol which was on the chair fell and exploded, the charge entering hie leg. The following day a paragraph appeared in defendants' paper to the effect that he had attempted to commit suicide ; and the result was that a good many inquiries were made by customers, and he (plaintiff) had to leave his bed before he ought to have done so to attend at the bank. Re could not do business, but talked to the customers about his accident. He had since been removed to a branch bank at Shrewsbury, of which he was manager. Defendant bad been several times asked for an apology or explanation, but no notice was taken of such applications. Mr. Huddleston, for the defence, said that no notice was taken by Corbett of the paragraph now complained of till one month and ten days after it appeared. If he had written at once to the defendants for a contradiction, it would have been given. The jury found for the plaintiff— damages 1601.

LAMBETH RAGGED SCHOOL.-1,200 children at tending. the Lambeth Ragged Schools will, by the kind permission of his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canter bury, spend a day in the palace grounds. But for this pri vilege they would be deprived of their holiday, the num bers attending precluding the possibility of taking them by either rail, boat, or vane; as it is, the expenses of the day, it is calculated, will amount to 401., towards which contributions are earnestly solicited, and will be most gratefully received by Mr. W.

Two meetings, largely . attended, were addressed on Monday and Tassels evenings at West Bromwieh and Wedneebury, by Mr. John Noble, the hon. secretary of the Financial dorm Union. The audiences, which consisted of future electors of the newly-enfranchised borough of Wednesbury, were enthusiastic in support of the proposal to secure a reduc tion of ten millions from our present expenditure, and resolved to support no candidate who did not make finan cial reform a cardinal feature of his political creed. On Friday a similar meeting will be held at Woolwich. SINOULAR AOClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon the horse which was drawing a cart loaded with bearthatenes from a wharf on the bank of the Surrey Canal, near St. George's-bridge, Ceunberwell, shied at something and dashed into the can The cart turned over, and a boy who was driving was thrown into the water, but was with some difficulty rescued from drowning by a bystander, Charles Norris, of the King's Arms. The plunging horse was, after some delay, extricated from the harness by divers, but the cart and its contents would be an obstruc tion to the traffic for some little time. _ _ Bears Wharf, a modern pile of buildings in Southwark, on the Thames, held on lease for 431 years, at the ground rent of 8801. per annum, was sold by auction yesterday, by Mann.

Mr. DMA 6LI, in &chaos !edging a toast, said : At the pre sent moment we have no controversy of any kind with any Europ•an power. And with regard to those subjects of misunderstanding which have been so much exr-ggerated, and ro much dwelt upon, with our Transat'antic brethren, every week, I may say every day, brings us to a better understanding up .n all those quedions, and I am Ida ei that their solution, which I believe is near at Lead, in every respect is only what could be expected from the mutual good tense and good feeling of two great and kindled natiens. (Cheers.) Well, my Lord Mayor, if we kok to the state of Ireland, I think it is one that ought to be a subject of sincere congratulation. The state of Ireland is one of complete tranquillity,and no inconeide ralide period has elapsed since her Majesty., government have felt any necessity of availing tiselveis of those previsions in the act for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus which we were in a moment of extraordinary difficulty, as were also our predecessors, obliged to avail ourselves of. The state of the country at this moment, in stead of being a cause of disquiet, is, as I have said, one of congratulation. Well, I think I may say, therefore, that looking to our domestic position, our foreign rela tions, the condition of Ireland—parbadarly with regard to her domestic position, the prospects we have of a Eprolific harvest, of that increase of the wealth, not only of ngland, but of the world at large, will give a stimulus to our commerce and our industry generally. The position of this country is one which ought not to cause us disquiet or discontent. With regard to the bourse of public affairs in parliament, it has been the custom to remark that the session has been wasted, and that nothing has been done. My lord, I believe that no tion haabeen caught too precipitately from opinions some what hazardous, expressed m the heat of the atmcethere of our senate. But we must remember that the relations of parties in parliament are very much like some of the traditionary misunderstandings between man and wife ; they treat each other often with a freedom of recrimina tion which probably has no great foundation. (Laughter.) And however liberal m be their epithets under the circumstances, they wou ld both very much question the right of anybody to interfere between them, or to adopt the opinions which they express of each other. (Renewed laugh ter.) And here I am bound to say on the part of our parlia ment, a session of which is of itself about to close—and I may say with respect to a considerable portion of it, its existence—that I entirely deny that the session has been a barren session, and that when we appear before our consti tuents and thecountry we shall have to confess that no thing has been done. In the first place allow me to remind you, my lord, that we have in this session of par liament carried a series of measures that have com pleted that great work of the amendment of the representation of the people which was commenced last year, and which now has occupied the atten tion of parliament for no less than two ses sions. That series of measures which were n to complete that greaten the carrying o e f ° l7l l ilZ was always questioned, and for a time seemed doubtful, has been completely and successfully carried into effect. And some of these measures were of a very difficult and elaborate character. And if the parliament of this country had only completed that great work of the amend ment of the representation of the people by carryineme measures, I maintain that it would not have been • session, but one which would have left its mark upon the history of this country, and advanced that cause of pro gress which is now universally supported by all intel ligent and sensible men. (Hear.) I think it is a most remarkable circumstance, and which impresses me every day with its gravity, that the great body of the people invested with these great privileges should be called upon to exercise them for the first time under circumstances so peculiar as now obtain in this country—that they should be called upon to exercise their opinion upon the most important issue that could be brought be fore their judgment—and that upon the first occasion in vshich they - sto exercise those - which -- _ that manner which would become the descendants of a great people, and will prove that they are worthy of the privileges which the present generation has generously and wisely bestowed upon* them. Therefore, my lord, in stead of feeling any apprehension that the issue which the people of this country is called upon to decide should be one of so high and deep a character, I mud express my own opinion that I think the decision isafer in their hands than it would have been in a more contracted circle, pro bably of a more refined and educated character. Over refinement and over education lead very often to perver sity of opinion and the affectation of philosophy, and do not deal with thoserigorous and robust principles which the nation is now being called upon to decide with the success and completeness which attend an appeal to a larger and more national constituency. I have therefore no fear that there is anything in the present state of affairs to give us any apprehension, and for my own part, I trust with con fidence the English constitution to the English people. (Cheers.) THE FORTHOOMING ROYAL. VISIT TO MIDDLES- Bosouoa.—The authorities of the iron metropolis of the north are all activity in anticipation of the visit, on the 10th August, of Prince Arthur.

A HILL ON FERN BETRZEN THE DEE AND TEE Yang:.—ln the peninsula of Wirral, between the Dee and the Mersey, and • few miles from Birkenhead, are a range of hills, which rise highest at a village called West Ho' by. The hills are covered with gone and brushwood, which shelter thousands of rabbits, and of late, owing to the heat and drought, the entire *violation has become as combustible as tinder. About 2 p.m. yesterday morning, Mr. //necks:, a Liverpool merchant, who resides at West Kirby, was roused by a report that the hill was on tn. He and his household at once took measuns to stop the progress of the flames, and as no water was procurable they dug trenches. The wind, luckily, blew from Mr. Sneaker's house, and no serious damage resulted, though the ground is still smouldering. Hundreds of rabbits, evidently paralysed by the smoke and the heat, were de stroyed, and their cries, as they ran about terror stricken, are ibed as meet iptiful. In Liverpool yesterday. it was stated that Hod Famine, in Miniature, and other mountains and kills in Wales, are on Ike, causing greet ta r " 031 C:Crt the Seamus sad landinrata. The que.tion bee been ask d, " Is it really true that tobce b paniers are much worn in Paris?" This question may be answered either negatively or affirma tively, according to what is understood by rho word " panicrs." Every dress looped up behind and at the sides so aa to puff the dress out is called a robe a psalms, and this style is very much adopted ; but the veritable paniers, of which somo models have ben given, are by no means generally worn, and most probably will never be much in favour. One of the prettiest styles is that of the costume, either tunic or cacique, looped up at the sides by bows. It is the most simple method of forming paniera ; but there are a variety of ways of arranging then skirts—by plaits at the sides and back if on a short skirt or tunic, or only at the sides for a casaque open in the front ; upon these plaits a bow or rosettee of the same material as the dress is placed, and a costume "Cemargo" is thus formed. Other dresses are looped up so as to puff out only acmes the back; this may be accomplished by means of buttons placed on the skirt. It is necessary to make thew dresses rather full at the back, although quite flat in flout, and put slightly full at the sides, the principal of the fulness being thiown to the back. The fourreaux robes cut on the bias at the back are no longer made ; on the contrary, the back breadths are always gathered at the top, and not at all gored. For the present style of dress very much of its graceful ness &pellicle upon the under petticoat being well made; the back should be well starched, and the gathers so arranged as to sustain the dress elegantly. This arrange ment, upon which depends the proper set, divides the comargo in two at the back, each piece being gathered honzontally on to a tape. It is certainly, as we before icmaiked, rather an art to wear these oustumes well, and many ladies make themselves look extremely ridiculous by their exaggeration of the present fashion. The actual mode, adopted with taste and without exaggeration, is very pretty. lhe trimmings most used upon costumes and thin toil. ettee are tee and Spanish lace, straw passetuenterie, ft in es with rich beading', or feather tringes ; also .hurle r! mother-of-pearl buttons—these latter only, of course, for quite morring dress. As usual at this season of the year hats occupy almost exclusively the time and attention of our modistes. and at no time have they been more var ml in shape or more ele gant in style. They are trimmed very much with dowers and long veils of black or coloured tulle; feathers are also worn, but velvet is lan used than it has been. Some ladies are wearing, in the country, the black lace mantilla, or simply a coloured gauze veil. This veil, which is rather mote than • yard long, is gracefully folded round the bead and throat, and sometimes is left hanging just to cover the face. If well arranged it is not at all unbe coming. Tess BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.—The annual conference and general meeting of this association will be opened next Tuesday at Oxford, and will last four days.

TEE METROPOLITAN GAS QITZETION.—At a meeting of the representative vestry of St. Pancras jester. day, an announcement was made_ by Mr. Healey, J.P., member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, that a committee of the whole board had recommended an ap plication to parliament for an act to enable them to buy up the whole of the London gas companies at a cost of seven or eight millions. The proposition was loudly eon demned, and a formal resolution and a protest against it were adopted. ,age girder, Weighing 14 or 15 fere, wee belief raked by means of a crab worked by five men.

Mr. Superintendent Williams, chief of tho Great Northern Railway Police, was on the spot almost immediately, and wished to remove deceased, who was not quite dead, to the hospital, but the medical man who had also att en d e d sa id it wou ld be best to let him lie still, as it was impossible for him to live, and in the course of a few momenta he expired. The crab was under the control of the contractor for the works and his employers, but none of them could give a satisfactory explanation of the accident. The jury after examining the crab expressed an opinion that it was altogether inadequate to bear the put upon it, and decided to adjourn and obtain a pro f essional opinion on the subject. lierlitYlNG IN THZ SZRPILDITINZ.—Yesterday morning the largest Serpentine competition of the year was brought off under the auspices of the West London Swimming Club, there being no less than 21 entries booked, and 19 of these competed. The club, with highly praiseworthy public spirit, threw open the race to the com petition of all amateurs who had never before won an open public race, and offered a pair of cups to first and second men. The distance was 600 yards—from the grating to poet flied in the lake on a level with the Humane Society's boat-house. The number of spectators present was hardly equal to the large attendance which usually witnesses these popularSerpentme swimmingmatches; butthisisaccotuited for by the early hour (6.30 a.m.) at which the race was an nouaoed to take place. Mr. T. Morns, the captain of the club, sent off the competitors with the following return:— Jackson, Hyde-park Club, 1; Me d, National Club, 2 ; Benthall, National Club, 3; National Club, 4 ; Lawley, 6. All except two went o the grating at the word in a huge cluster, and they quickly seemed to s read like a crescent mums the Serpentine. At 100 rare% six had come out of the crowd and taken thelead well together. At 300 yards Milvain came up with a s and swam into the lead, closely followed by Jackson, Benthall, and Melgund. Jackson now put forth his powers, gained the lead at the first boat-house, and although very warmly pushed he maintained his position, and came in the winner by a short yard. Melgund was a capital second, and his spurt at the finish was very plucky. Heathen was a couple of yards behind second man, while Felten was a good fourth and very nearly a dead heat with Benthall, Langley obtaining fifth position some dis tance behind. It was amusing to see the others swimming in every variety of style, and struggling on to the winning podmany yards in the rear. - An extraordinary fire happened on Tuesday afternoon near Nottingham. Some boys set fire to the grass in a field by the Trent side, and it extended so rapidly that in a short time seven large pieces of pasture land were in (L a state of complete conflagration.

A FARRYR GORED TO DEATH BY A Bou..—Wo are sorry to have to record the death of Mr. Walter Rogers, of the Fron farm, near the Quin* from the effects of being gored by • bull belonging to him. On Thursday morning last he went into one of his pasture fields adjoining the house for the purpose of driving the cattle to water in the yard, and in doing so passed does to the bull, which appeared to take no more than ordinary notice of him. On his driving the cattle to the yard gate he had to pass through them in ceder to open the gate. In dons( so the bull rushed behind him and streak him down. Some time altsrererds, the servant girl, inn through the yard, saw the bull trampling upon and hir ing something ow the pound, which, ea closer isspectiom she saw was her wader. An ahwng was bamediately made, the animal was driven away, and Mr. Eagan was carried into the house. Re was perfectly conscious after the lint of of the shock were over, and was enabled to give particulars of the affair.
