A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," containing the results of the day's Races, is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Season, at au o'clock. ALTnoron far from being satisfied that Mr. DtsitAltu and his colleagues hare allayed all the ire which the display of English sentiments of in dependence at the commencement of the present year excited in the mind of the French Ensue*, we am not of those who suspect that potentate to entertain any intention of immediate or proximate war. As far as we can discern or acquire inform*. tion, the numbers of the French army have not been swelled beyond the amount rendered inevitable by a recent war. Neither do we find that the completion of Cherbourg, the expenses of the marine department, or even the late decree for drilling and disciplining more sailors on board their ships of war, evince more than the legitimate and natural anxiety of the French ruler to h►es an efficient fleet as well as army, both at the present day being quite as useful and necessary fur purposes of negotiation as foe those of actual war. On the lit of January, 1848, that is, after a year of tranquillity and during the reign of a most peaceful King, the French army numbered 407,000 soldiers under arms, with a reserve of 70,000 men. ._ . _ On the Ist of January, 1863, the army was about 560,000, with a mauve of 40,000. Previous to the war, 80,000 conscripts were levied every year, and remained for four years under the colours. Daring the war 140,000 was the contingent. At present 100.000 are raised. The desire of the French War-o®ee is to keep as few, and employ as many, of the officers, whose number was of course increased daring the war, as possible. Yet the French army at present is not much above the amount of that of LOCIS PIIILIPPE in 1847. It costs more, no doubt, but the pay and other advan tages of the soldier have been much increased, and the Imperial Guard swelled to the dimensions of an army. The French war budget in the last yearned' Loma Pm Li Fp es reign amounted to twelve millions ster ling. It grew to thirteen millions before LOME NAPOLEON became NAPOLEON the THIRD. It is now but fourteen millions, the addition demanded this spring being of seven millions of francs, or not 900,0001. The budget or expenses of the Marine in 1848 was about five millions sterling. It is not set down far 1868 at more than five millions and a half, with a supplement of 200,0001. this spring. In this the public works at Cherbourg are not included, nor, we believe, the repairs, of about 300,0004 a year, des tined gradually to furnish all the French men-of-war with screw propellers. This transformation de la Mt., which is actively pursued, makes, no doubt, • great portion of that activity in the French dock yards, whisk alarms those of our countrymen who have had access to them. Dissatisfied with the administration and discipline of the French navy, the EMPEROR has this year established a Council of the Admiralty on • new principle, containing civilians, admiralo, and cap tains. The aim seemed to be to unite all kinds of nautical experience. Moreover an entirely new code of law has been drawn up and promulgated for the marine. Great pains have no doubt also been taken to render the marine conscription effective, and unquestionably these lisp that contain the names of every Frenchman that is on the seas, and conse quently amenable to service, are formidable in their number and their amount. But a landsman caught and taken from the plough at one and twenty, and kept per force for a year or two on board a man-of-war, in few cases turns out a sailor. He in general costs more than be is worth, for he must have his bread and his vegetables seat, and could no more live on salt beef and biscuit, like our tars, than he could climb to tie moon. The great object of the EMPEROR Kean to be to collect all the men that he can, in summer, in order to have them on board his ships. But summer is the time for the French fisheries— when the vessels go to the coast of Scotland for her rings, to the English coast for mackerel, or to New foundland for cod. Everyman taken from these ser vices for ever so sheet a time extinguishes a sailor instead of making one, and causes far more loss to industry and to the revenue than it adds force to the French navy, This was • subject of continued quarrel between the EMPEROR and M. Dupos, who at one time refused to man a Baltic fleet, the only way of doing so being to atop the fisheries. The present Marine Minister is far lees considerate to trade. Be what can the French Elution want with so powerful a navy ? ask some of our alarmists. He has non, or few colonies to protect, and neither enemies nor interests on the other side of the globe. The answer to this is, that there are certain questions and negotiations, in which none but maritime Powers can take part. And to be a first-rate maritime Power, as well as a military one, is indispensable to a country which looks to have • voice mud take part and share in any great political catastrophe. There are at penmen t in existence two vast and moat powerful 'lupins, both of which display mani fest signs of caducity, and of which the Govern ments threaten to dimply* and disappear in utter incapacity to deal with or manage their wide re gions and numerous populations, fur the flat time Sued in full cmtect with foreign civilisation. That civilisation acta as a most powerful diaeolvent upon their more su perannuated system of society and poll tics ; and it is the opinion of many persons that neither the Turkish nor the Chinese Empire will preserve their integrity, their power, or their alp istence many years. In England we put more trust in the prolongation of old and sick States. The French do not. And we feel quite confident that the great care and capenditure bestowed by the EMPEROR upon his navy, and by Russia also upon herr, proceeds from no desire or determination of their rulers to invade England or to war with it, but from an anxious wish to be prepared to take as much advantage as other countries of what they look upon as inevitable catastrophes. Lord PALMERSTON we think to be mistaken and unwarranted in considering these views and precau tions of France as indicating premeditated hostility to Turkey, The Emperor NAPOLEON is, we dare say, anxious to give this Suurax fair play, sad the Emperor of CHINA likewise. But he sees the inability of one and of the other to defend their provinces, or to organise either • military or financial system, capable of self-subsistence. And he believes that botkempires must ultimatelyshare the fate of Poland. France declares that in that cue she cannot choose but interfere ; and, in order to be entitled and enabled to do so, she seeks to have in the Mediterranean as large a naval force as she can command. Is this so very ambitious, so extraordinarily unwarranted ? Is it not rather what we should expect, take account of, and meet, not with covert hostility, newspaper, threats, and diplomatic rivalry, but openly, fairly, firmly, and yet with all due conciliation ? We may depend upon it that the naval armaments ' or counter armaments of France are nothing more than the natural responses to the jealousy we have shown of her in the Mediterranean, and to the system of exclusion which we pursue. We insist on the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and whoever breathes • doubt of that we treat as an enemy. We close Suez, and sacrifice the Principalities, lest there should arise even an apparent flaw in that integrity. We should do more wisely, and act more to the pur pose, by guiding and instructing Turkey in the way of conciliating and governing her refractory sub jects, and drawing from them that force of wealth and military support, without which the Strurair cannot hold his ground. But during all the time which has elapsed since the war, we have not counselled Turkey, or prevailed on her to adopt one wise or efficient step. Instead of regenerating and reviving, that Government is perishing under our hands, and fulfilling every prognostic of France, whilst we are quarrelling with France for entertain. ing thew prognostics. Let Lord DERBY settle the great Levant and Mediterranean questions with France, and we will be bound to say that then we shall hear no more of French armaments, or fleets, or rivalry with us upon the ocean. The second Report of the Commissioner, of In land Revenue shows the ebb and flow of some of the largest streams that feed the great reservoir of the public Exchequer. The Inland Revenue cannot, indeed, bout any single source to compare, in breadth and volume, with the Customs—that Amason which yearly rolls down one-third of the whole riches of the State ; but the Ere'se duties, the Pro perty and Income and Assessed taxes, and Stamps together, nearly supply the remaining two-thirds, and enable the CRANCILLOR of the Excninrrn to redress the balance of Receipt and Expenditure. The present return concurs with that of the Commis sioners of Customs, which we lately noticed, to illustrate a general advance in the material prosperity of the Belted Kingdom. Any pinch felt by the great mass of the people liaison represented in the yield of the Excise duties. Thus, for instance, the depression which set in at the beginning of last winter told to the extent of 106,226/. on the receipts from spirit duty alone in the six months ending 3lat March,lB.sB. Bat the Excise duties last year were on the whole very productive, and only the remission of the war tax on malt and the diminished cultivation of hops consequent on low prices prevented their yielding more than they had done for the last tea years. The gross receipt from Excise duties in the lest financial year was 18,495,8881. ; that of the former year was 19,738,4601.; the decrease under malt and' hope amounts to 1,434,990/. The duties on spirits, which contribute above nine millions a year to the public revenue, show a large increase, no less than 148,3821. In the fain of the strenuous endeavours of a sincere and active portion of the community to abate the use of spirits among us, it is important to notice that this augmentation is entirely due to in creased consumption, the comparison between the last two years' revenue from this source being free from any disturbing element. The exportation of British spirits has fallen off, and for a curious reason. Two years ago our distillers were very busy making an article for France, the failure of the grape com pelling the makers of French brandy to have re course to spirit derived from grain. Last August, however, a law was promulgated in France sanc tioning the use of grain in distilleries, and imposing a duty on spirits imported. The spirits made here for France found their way back under the name of Cognac and Eau-de-Vie; and as far as the English consumer is concerned, the only diffe rence will now be that we shall buy it direct of the makers, our countrymen, without requiring the illu sory formalities of exportation, import duties, and Bordeaux brands. It iseatisfactory to find that illicit distillation is going ant in Scotland and Ireland, as wall u in England. The maltsters, however, still give a made.' of trouble with their compressed"couches," and sometimes by more daring means of fraud. Some persons named ALLEN, at Worthing and other places in Sussex, have been made to pay smartly during the year for illegal practices. They used concealed malthouses„ underneath the premises which the revenue officers entered. These were found out, and the amount recovered from their owners in penalties and seizures was 18,3831. The habit of battling with fraud and evasion has developed, we fear, an excessive sensibility in the Commissioners, sometimes causing them to see crimi nality where it is not. It appears from their account that just before the last budget night some profane distiller in Ireland Lad the audacity to speculate on Mr. Dtsuru'is intentions as regards the Irish spirit duties, and hurried out on the Saturday before the financial statement 6,700 gallons under the low duty. The person to whom he sent it had sot entered his premises as a dealer, and the Excise seized the whole. It was a very fair bit, and no one will grudge the Commissioners the chuckle with which they tell the story. But when they denounce as schemers and charge with evasion of the revenoe all who take reasonable and lawful pre cautions to avoid an unnecessary visitation of the tax-gatherer by anticipating probable changes in the laws, they stretch the line a little too fez. As many kinds of fraud on the Excise directly injure the soesumer, the revenue officer, in the absence of a public functionary directly appointed for the purpose, tends every fear to become a com missioner for the detection and punishment of adol terations. A large part of the present Report is taken up with the record of examinations of articles of consumption purchased in the way of retail trade. A great outcry was raised a few years ago about the dangers that lurk in the coffee cup. Whatever grounds there may have been for the original cla mour, the present state of thing" leaves little to complain of. The revenue officers last year bought in England 2,689 parcels of coffee as pure, and found that 2,515 were genuine, the adulteration reaching only 2.8 per cent. Tobacco has always been a favourite subject of fraud. It is adulterated not only :with sugar, molasses, liquorice, and other sweets, but with tar, alum, oil, and lampblack. Indeed, with some manu facturers, a substratum of the original weed is con sidered unnecessary; in Ireland the officers seized as tobacco many parcels of chicory and rhubarb leaves which had received a dressing of tar and mo lasses. Snuff, again, is largely adulterated with alkaline salts, torrefied oatmeal, and wood dust. One sample seized in Ireland was nothing but car bonate of lime coloured with peroxide of iron. It is a remarkable fact that, although the price of all descriptions of unmanufactured tobacco wu in 1857 double that for which they sold in 1852, com mon shag, which forms not las than seven-eighths of the whole of the cut tobacco consumed in the United Kingdom, is now sold at • lower price than when leaf tobacco was at its lowest value. The Com missioners account for this reduction by the admixture of a large proportion of tobaccos of inferior qualities with those from North America, those kinds being not only cheaper in the market, but also capable of taking up and holding a much larger quantity of water Lthan the better sorts. Before leaving the department of Excise, we beg to call attention to the deliberately expressed opinion of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue on the important subject of beer and spirit licenses, and their connexion with legis lation and public morals. They may Whenever it may appear right to your lordships to submit to Parliament a measure for amending the system of beer and spirit Hoene's, we trust that no attempt may be made to restrict the number of licensed houses, either by any arbitrary rule, or by confuting on the magistrates large discretionary powers. We are not left to conjecture to fore tell the results of all such attempts to enforce temperance in the lower classes. Glasgow end Edinburgh, since the paw ing of the act of 1853, have furnished abundant evidence that it is not by such means se these that the habits et a population out be changed, and that the restrictions in face have increased the evils which they were intended to remedy, by Miming into existence innumerable unlicensed spirit shops, with all their attendant train of demorsliming influences. In Edinburgh the number of prosecutions by this depart ment for the sale of spirits without Wane has increased from 8 in 1853 to 21 in 1867, and in Glasgow in the same period from 2 to 22. To these must be added • very large number which have recently been instituted by the police authorities independently of um, principally against the heves of so-called club houses and temperance hotels. The miscellaneous collection of duties raised by Stamps is not a pleasant one to examine. To supply our exchequer, we tax alike the cards and dice of the squanderer, and the insurance policies of the provident; for a consideration of three-halfpence we permit the quack to display the Royal arms on his nostrum, pernicious if not happily only worth less. The sums derived from these most discreditable sources are paltry. Patent medicines yield but 43,0001., and cards and dice 13,6001. to the public revenue, and might be eliminated from the list with advantage. The gross receipts from Stamps in the past year were 768,4331., being an increase of 49,1231. In this sum the fees from the new Courts of Probate and Divorce figure for the first time. Under the head of Newspaper Stamps a decrease is shown, the impressed stamp having ceased to be the most eligible medium for the payment of postage. The Legacy and Suomi. rion Duties produced last year 3,135,3361., an in crease of 13,0001., instead of 160,0001., as had been estimated. The Commissioners remark upon this anomaly, but are unable to explain it in a satisfao tory manner. The Land and Assessed Taxes yielded 3,155,7161. last year, being 36,6461.m0re than the year before. The receipts from Property and Income Tax last year were 11,767,3061., against 16,384,4941. in the year before. The fall of the rate of duty intro duced into the assessment' of the 6th of April, 1857, materially affected the receipts during the latter half of the last financial year. The useannents are re turned so late to the Commissioners that no account caa be given of the operation of the tax in the years 1867-1868. Those last received, being for the year ending sth of April, 1857, speak well for the profits of trade in the principal manufacturing districts. London returned, under Schedule D, a profit of 13,084,0001., being an increase of 162,0001. ; Liver pool confessed to having made 4,780,0001. ; and Manchester 3,336,0001., by trade and manufactures. Leeds made more by 110,0001., Wakefield by 19,0001., and Salford by 20,0001., than in the pre vices year. The increase under Schedule A is equally striking. In the City of London it is 29,0001. ; in St. Pancras, 199,0001.; in Marylebone, 245,0001. ; in Manchester, 99,0001. ; and in the Irish and Scotch returns the same facts are reported. Thus in every department of the revenue we find the signs and fruit' of an energetic and prosperous activity. After all, the old country is not one to flee from. It is worth living in, worth hoping and striving for, and worth, if need were, defending. The sudden death of the Lotd Justice Clerk puts within the reach of the Lord Advocate the second place in the Supreme Court of Scotland. Fortune in this ease falls on the deserving. Mr. Inglis has long been facile princeps at the Scotch bar ; nor is it often that the rules of political usage and courtesy lead to a promotion so thoroughly in harmony with the general feeling of the profession and the real interest, of the public. Should the Lord Advocate elect to take the vacant appointment, it will not be easy to supply his place in the Home of Commons, where he was rapidly rising into de served appreciation. The withdrawal of a lawyer so clear-headed, ro learned, so honest, and so sound, will be a loss to Lord Derby's administration. (From Um (ir* Oirookr al yoMerday.)

(17t011 OUR REPORT'S.) Her Majesty's progress through Warwickshire has indeed been one of regal splendour. Queen's weather (as the glorious ennshine which has prevailed uninter ruptedly for the last few days has been appeopriately termed) has prevailed throughout; and assuredly her Majesty has Journeyed, during the last day or two, through one of the loveliest districts of the country to be found in all her rut do minions. On Tuesday evening, after her Majesty left Bir mingham, she made a debar from the railway station at Kenilworth, on her way to fttoneleigh, through the pic turesque ruins of the Cootie of Kenilworth—a glimpse of which she caught long years slam whilst yet a child. The dinner party at iltoseleigh oonaiated of the Earl of Warwick, Lady Mary Fielding and Captain Fielding, the Hoe. and Rev. H. Cholmondely, the Marquis of Chandos, and Viscount Hood. The addition to theas were the nobi lity and gentry staying in the house. A large party of the nobility and gentry resident in the neighbourhood reoedved Invitations for the evening. Portions of the abbey and domain were brilliantly Wuminated. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning her Majesty went over the grounds at Stoneleigh, remarkable for their many natural beauties. At one o'clock the Queen took leave of her noble host and hostess, and departed for Warwick Castle. Through what a fairy-like land she passed between fttoneleigh and Leamington —a fine undulating country, sickly timbered, and highly cultivated land fattening into a barred. At 40 ininntee rat one the royal (artiste reached the oat aktrbs of Leamington—the Royal Spa, as the inhabitants delight to call it, fondly clinging to the scrap of parchment which conveyed the intimation that her Majesty signified her court that the good town should be ao denominated, es though it contained r famous restorative waters r Claroden's spring affords. The inhabitants of Leamington bad prepared themselves to give to her Majesty a hearty reception ; a large sum of moiety was subscribed for suitable decorations ; end the members of the rang body corporate the " local board of commis skeet'," consented, on this occasion only, to form a squadron of hone as a body-guard to the Sovereign from one end to the Mbar of the perish boundary. The people of teaming tot Tore not ham makes in this respect than their ruin. Thee were bonne demwelions on an extensive scale. Of course these took a Mast turn, and pretty wreaths and gar lands, with thousands of bright dowers hampered, mat the eye. Those who are MOW with the Parade at Leaming ton may form an idea how picturesque sad beautiful it would look with such a form of ibearstion, the floral display being interspersed with hundreds clasp and banners ; and very Mike and lovable forms of bomb beauty elustered at some of windows in countless crowds, forming one grand parterre of axceeding beauty. The day was ob/erred as a holiday. The entire popula tion turned out and hued the route along which her Majesty woo to paw. The school children were drilled into order, and marched to the sane, and the members of a clue of institu tions called benefit societies ranged themselves under their respective banner,. Beneath a well executed and elaborately decorated arch at the Kenilworth New Road her Majesty's carriage passed, and thence proceeded, 'anklet the heartiest demonstrations, down the Parade. God bless your Majesty," shouted the people all along the line, as she rode on ; and the Queen, looldng well and greatly *mod, smiled, and acknowledged the salutations of her subjects frequently. At the moment her Majesty pared, the Jepbson Gardens balloon ascended: the Qeeni caught fight of it immediately, smiled, and directed the Prince Consort's attention to this mode of displaylag the people's loyalty. Through the town and on the road to Wrist* Matte there were exube rant and genuine demonstrations of enthusiasm. Along the pleasant and neatly trimmed old road leading from Liamhigton to Warwick Castle the royal earring, went on its way, accompaniel by a military wort, composed of Lord Leigh's troop of yeomanry. Th. Queen was manifestly much delightei with tke superb view of Warwick Castle obtained from the bridge which spews the Avon, whose pellucid stream rolls at the base of the grand old pile, the habitable apartments of which are more than two hundred feet abort the riverjbed. Nearly a thou sand years have parted away since the building was ended— " An WI of ten centuries elapse— A thousand years their cloudy wings expand." and Warwick Case, dill remains, u described by the Arioeto of the North, "the fairest monument of ancient and devalues splendour which yet omens uninjured by time." The world's poet has not omitted to immortalise its goodly towers. AA Queen Victoria passed beneath its massive portals, thoughts of the rival homes of York and Lancaster, to which princely familke the castle alternately belonged, most have passed through her mind, and of the golden recol lections which sill cinder round the name and magnificent abode of Warwick the Bing-maker. Next to a view of the castle from the bridge by moonlight, nothing could have been And than the view which her Majesty obtained of the out, to-day. The sun shone forth in midsummer brilliancy, without a cloud so large as a man's hand in view, and amidst the cheers of her faithful subjects Queen Victoria drew up in front of the venerable pile, the founder of the original structure upon the site on which it des& being the great Alfred's daughter. At Ave minutes past two o'clock precisely theories gates were swung open, and the Queen's carriage entered ; at the coo sod the Duddy' Wend, the royal standard Boated frees the far-famed Cresar's Tower. The prorrations made by the Earl of Warwick for the reception have been on an eateries scale ; of these we need potent& into detaD. In the superb fabric itself centres all interest. In the 'nipped= of the colossal grandeur of a by-gone day contained within the castle walla, her Majesty moat have found many features of special Wart, and ruck for contemplation as well is observation. The Queen lunched at the castle; a select party of the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood being invited. Her Majesty left the castle a quarter before Dye o'clock, and passed through the trend Warwick (handsomely decorated) encountering another ovation. A large concourse of prude were assembled at the Warwick elation. As her Milesig's eardep drew up to the platform, she was greeted with many rounds of cheers. As bar Majesty was alighting, the Mayor stepped forward and handed to her the Corporation =dress, which was graciously received. It may be roirksed that the gen tlemen who compose the corporation of Warwick, more amble than their brethren of some reds= town councils we o3nid name, appeared before their sovereign attired fa the becoming costume of private gentlemen, a dark Nee serf being the only badge to mark them out as the elect of their fallow-citisans. The Queen entered the royal saloon immediately; but before doing so, she shook hands with Lord Warwick and with Lord and Ledy Leigh. To both abs expound her peat pleasure at the random she had experienced. _ At fifteen Ininnte; poet five her MiJ..ty left for London, amidst enthusiastic cheating as the train ran out of the elation. Thus terminated her Modesty's viva to Warwickshire, which ha. been unchequered by say incidents save thous to szoite satisfaction. Her Majesty's time days' tour through Warwickshire has been one grind pageant, of a character to be noteworthy In the historic annals of her glorious reign. The Duchess of Sutherland returned to town last endue, from vidday Lord and Ledy Leigh, at Storeldgh Abbey. THE UNITED STATES. (ar annum AND Mtn NAONNTIC TILIORAPN4 (Mom 002 OWN ooaansrownzwo LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The steamer City of Washington has arrived, having left New York on the Sth inst. She brings 817 passengers, and 98,580 doll. It is said that Lord Napier had received a despatch of a character that would lead to the cessation of the outrages complained of by America. It was re ported that the United States steamer Fulton had pursued a British cruiser, and the latter had fired into an American vessel. The result is not stated. In the Senate Mr. Douglas had introduced a bill to revive and put in force an act pawed in 1839, during the pending of the North Eastern boundary troubles, with alight verbal modifications, to meet the existing exigency. The bill places the military and naval forces, and 10,000,000 dole., together with 80,000 volunteers, at the disposal of the President, to resist the pre tensions of Great Britain, and authorises him to send a special ambassador to England if he deems it necessary. No steps had been taken on the matter. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Davis presented a preamble and resolution setting forth that the acts of the British cruisers are in direct vio lation of international law, and requiring the President to issue an order for the arrest of the offenders. The house, by a vote of 164 to 63, suspended the rules, received the proposition, and referred it to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Both houses of Congress have agreed to extend the present session, but have not specified as to the pre cise day for the final adjournment. General Houston had further spoken upon his project for extending a protectorate over Mexico ; and, on asking for an expression of the Senate's opi nion on the subject, the proposition was rejected by • vote of nearly two to one. The organisation of a Vigilance Committee in New Orleans, of which we had telegraphic advice, via Halifax, per last steamer, had caused intense excitement in that city ; but without entailing any collision, it had resulted in the triumph of the com mittee, and the appointment, by them, of a spe cial police of 1,000 men to maintain order, and protect the polls and voters at the election on the 7th. It is not officially confirmed that the Mormons expelled Governor Cumming, but it is said to be derived from unquestionable authority. It was ex pected the army would move towards the Salt Lake about the end of May. The troops were said to be living on mule meat. At the annual meeting of the Erie Railroad Com pany the directors submitted a report, showing the receipts of the six months to be 400,000 dole. lege than the expenditure. The deficit is attributed to the depression in trade. Haysnnah dates are to May 30. Additional out rages on American vessels on the Cuban coast are reported, and the officer who searched the American vessels at Sagna la Gaand is said to have been arrested.

(MOH ODA Owl 0011HIPONDINT.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The steamer North American, from Quebec on sth instant, arrived this morning, bringing 201 passengers. Her dates from the United States are the same u those by the City of Washington. The Canadian advice, are of little interest. The Quebec timber trade was without essential change.

(110 Y 0111 OWN mgr.) PARIS, WIMIZSDAT Evaxato. M. Delangle was the son of an artisan of the de partment of the Nivre. His "early struggles" to achieve a position in Paris were severe, but his talent ultimately prevailed over all obstacles. It has not been stated that his acceptance of the Ministry of the Interior implies his resignation of his post of President of the Imperial Court of Paris. I am not aware that there is any legal incompati bility, but the two places could not be decently held together; and already the names of Billault, Benoit Champy, and Chaim d'Patange, are talked of at the Palais as candidates for the high judicial office assumed to be vacant. M. Delangle will leave a void on the bench not easily to be filled up. A determined opponent of the present government says of him that he was "an incomparable judge, a finished lawyer, and a man of remarkable penetration—his judgments are landmarks of law." I believe no member of the profession will contradict this testimony to his judicial capacity. On the other hand, his manners are not amiable, and be is subject to fits of passion likely to distort his judgment, bat no instance of his having been misled by his feelings is cited. The Bourse declined at the opening, but became rather firm in the afternoon. The Rents closed at yesterday's prioe,6Bfr. 300., for cash, and rase 10c. for account, closing at 68fr. 35c. Mobilier rose 17fr. 60c. Railway shares were in great demand. Orleans roes 22fr. 50c. ; Northern, 12fr. 30c. ; Lyons, 12fr. 50c.; Western, 10fr.; and the other lines Mr. The Debar dwells on a fresh instance of the dis creditable manner in which the intelligence from India is systematically misrepresented by the tele graphic establishment _which supplies the French press with its foreign news. In the last despatch furnished by the latter, the great news of the day— the captare of Bareilly—wu not even mentioned ; while Oude and the Rohilcund—which in the Eng- lisp official despatches are represented as ealmitTir down under a policy of eonciliation—are described in the Marseilles despatch u swarming with bands of partisans. We (Galignaxi) have heard an interesting anec dote connected with the charming ate given last week at Etiolles by Count Walewski, in honour of the visit of their Majesties. A fine little boy, son of the count, attracted great notice, and the Em- i peror calling the child to him, asked, " What is your name, my boy P" The child replied, " Charles Walewski"—" Count d'Etiolles," added the Em peror, completing the answer. His Majesty desired apparently by conferring this title on the eon, to express how highly he esteemed the services of the father as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count Walewski has, it is said, ordered from a first-rate artist a picture to represent the fete at Etiolles, the occasion of this high mark of imperial favour. Fir Henry Lytton Bulwer, English ambassador at Constantinople, has left Paris to proceed to his post. MONTENEGRO. The Agram Gazette says:—" The Montenegrins retired, between the 14th and 20th ult., to their mountains, leaving at Grahowo only 80 men to protect the part of the booty which had not been sent to Cettingen. Notwithstanding their depar ture, the Rajahs of &ibis and Grahowo sent on the 14th an expedition against the village of Korenci, which was completely ravaged on the 18th and 18th. All the bodies of the Turks, which were lying about in great numbers near Grahowo, have been burnt." A letter from Vienna, in the Swabian Mercury, says:—" The Turkish ambassador has had several conferences recently with Count Buol, and it seems that the Porte and Austria entertain identical opinions on the Montenegrin question. It is certain that the Porte still considers the acknowledgment of her suzerainty as a sine qua eon." RUSSIA. A letter from Stockholm of the Bth says :—" Ac cording to recent letters from Hammerfest, the last Norwegian port at the entrance to the White Sea, several Russian vessels of war have passed on their way to Archangel, which the Emperor Alexander is about to visit. It is known that in compliance with the recommendations of his brother, the Grand Duke Constantine, the Emperor has resolved to give a large development to the dockyards of the White Sea. Last year four vessels were constructed there; this year six vessels, all screws, are being built there; and it is hoped that before the closing of the navigation they can be sent on some distant expedi. tion. From the new arrangements now being made at Archangel, not only small vessels, but ships of the line and frigate., can henceforth be built there." THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, Julia 14. The insurrection of Candia has been appeastd. The insurgents made • formal statement of their grievances to the Turkish commissioners, and then withdrew to their homes.

We grieve to announce the death of one of thaw inn who have most =nitrated by talent and character to the glory of our country. N.

A grand diplomatic dinner, given by the Sanaa on the 2nd, exceeded in magnificence anything of the kW that had ever taken plea at Constantinople. The Grand Vizir presided, having an his right the French smbusader, end on his left the Farina envoy.
