SONDON. MONDAY. JULY 11. F.% ear household, they say, has a sped,* in the closet, and EDWARD PHILIP FLITCIIIII seems ad mirably fitted to suetsin that part is the home of the FLETCHERS. Few families are spared the nuisance of baring some incorrigible member who is perpetually getting into some mess, perpetually being dragged out of i., and perpetually falling into it again. An enfant terroble at home, this terror of the nursery, the plague of his parents is infancy, the thorn in the flesh" to tutors and school masters, an extravagant fool at college, areetleas out caet in late life—such a character embitters the lives of his nearest connexions. Aad the singular thing is, that let such people go where they please, expose themselves to trials however perilous, Pao% inure! seems to delight in bringing them through every thing unscathed. There is no getting rid of them. Deepatch the scamp to the uttermost part of the earth, and before many year., or even days,his return is certain. That young gentleman of 29, Mr. EDWAZD PHILIP FLITCH/A, who has just cast hie uncle is as action. MtMI to have many of the characteristics just described. What his conduct in the nursery may have been is left to conjecture, though no doubt that old nurse who had known him all his life would have described his early life with in structive power. At the early age of 16 he ran away from Eton because school did not suit him say more than it does other self-indulgent idlers. Subse quently he went to New College from a private tutor, but neither did that suit him. An Indian cadet ship was then obtained and he went to the East, but he soon abandoned his regiment and returned home. This, however, he only accomplished by the bold stroke of embarking in an open boat in the river in broad daylight. In the meantime his father had died, end he got a clerkship at 1001. in the house of which his father had been • member. But such employment was .distastetal to him; and he abandoned that. Then he went out to Au. tralis, where he passed through almost every phase of human life. Ile dug for gold; he was a clerk ; he was • porter at • store-house ; he drove • dray; he was in the Commissariat; but he fell ill, and doctors' bills swallowed up all his savings. He came home, and then his uncle got him an appointment in the Commissariat at Kertchduriog the Russian war. Here, me the youth says himself—. He led the life of most young men out there. He drank a good deal, " and Led rather a fast life." And certainly three bottles of claret between eleven in the morning and dinner-time is a generous allowance. Then began his illness and fit.. Having returned home, Mr. FLETCHER naturally fell into debt. Whitecroas kindly opened its bosom to his misfortunes, and in stead of living at the expense of his friends he lived at the expense of the county. By this time his relations began to get sick of him—they had supported him from time to time the old servants of his father had supplied him with the necessaries of life. Mr. FLETCHER hung on their hands. No doubt they were most anxious to be rid of him. And for this purpose they fell upon • notable device. The young man had some extravagant ideas that the firm of which his father had been a member owed him money. The family solicitor, indeed, assured him that the supposed share in the business had all been absorbed by debts. But the youth persisted, and this looked like a sort of monumsnis. But, besides this, he had spoken in terms of extravnant abuse of his mother and hie uncles—saying that blood would flow," and that he would "annihilate them." Moreover, the fits had increased in ve►emence, and when he was seised he would lie on his bark, appear frightfully contorted, and hold his throat as if he intended self- strangulation. Surely the young man must be mad, thought the relation's, and two medical men having examined him, certified it as their opinion that he was insane. He was accordingly transferred to Kensington House Lunatic Establishment. This was on the 1.0. h of March last year. In this way the relations thought they had got rid of the trou blesome fellow. But he was not to be subdued so easily. Os. day he was out walking with some patients end • keeper. Whilst the rest were look ing at the horses in Rotten-row, the supposed lunatic, with the readiest wit, went out into l'iceadilly and got • cab. Instead of money, he carried a double suit of clothes. At once he went to an old sereatit's house and changed part of his clothes into money. At once he made every arrangement with "The Alleged Lunatics' Friends Society" to have his case taken up. Some days after he was at the her of a public-house, when he suddenly found himself to the presence of • mad house official and a policeman. Off be rushed up stairs into the bedroom of Miss Careen, the daughter of his friend at the bar. He locked the door, and so disappointed his pursuers. But wEilst the warrant was being sent for he escaped from the bedroom over the tops of the houses to hrury•lane. He got into another house by the top window, end remained there till 10 o'clock at night. It seem. that by this time he had disgaimii himself in all the paraphernalia of female apparel —petticoat, bonnet, veil. cuffs and everything. Having thus escaped from the asylum he was lucky enough to meet with the author of " Never too " Late to Mend." lie took him to lire, Duos and Rirtiannt, end they pronounced him perfectly mane. The consequence has been an action, brought by Mr. FLETCHER against his uncle, the Colonel, fo r putting him in confinement. After a trial of two days the counsel of the defendant became satisfied that there must be a verdict for the plaintif f and it was de•ermined to compromise the matter. Whilst all imputations are withdrawn on either side, Colonel ELytetten has agreed to give Mr. FLETCHER 1001. • year. It is, indeed, impossible to deny that Colonel Farrcnaa acted with perfect good faith, for not only two medi cal men pronounced Mr. FLETCHER lasses, bat the Lunacy Commissioners refined to allow him to leave eh,. asylum. There can indeed be no doubt that Mr. 1" si" 11F • is perfectly SIM, but it is equally true that he is totally unfit to take can of himself, and por sibly it he is left to ►imself his career :nay be much shorter than it would be if some superintendence were exercised over him. It certainly does appear from the statement of the plaintiff that no sufficir nt ground was shown upon which: Mr. FLETCHER should hare been pro nounced mad, and this is distinctly admitted by the defendant himself. But the other aide of the story has not been heard ; and although there has certainly been a mistake of judgment on the part of the medical men, it is impossible to say that that mistake showed culpable ignorance. In the mean time it is to be hoped that Mr. Fincuea will at length do something to vindicate the opinion that he is a man of common sense and ordinary feeling. The following appointments have been made: Mr. Hamilton, sow at Athena, to be Secretary of Legation at Frankfort. Mr. F. Nortoo, now paid Attacht at Paris, to be Secretary of Legation at Athena.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE ARMISTICE. MEETING OF THE EMPERORS. MEDIATION OF THE NEUTRAL POWERS. The Mositeur of to-dayexplains the circumstances under which the armistice has taken place. The great neutral powers exchanged communications with the object of offering their mediation to the belligerent parties, whose first act was to be an armis tice, but the endeavour to bring about this result was not saccesafal until some days ago, when the French fleet was about to begin hostilities against Venice, and a new conflict before Verona was imminent. The Emperor, " faithful to his sentiments of moderation, and anxious to prevent useless effusion of blood," did not hesitate to snare himself whether the disposition of the Emperor of Austria was conformable to his own. It was a sacred duty for the two emperors immediately to suspend hostilities which the me diation could render objectless. The Emperor of Austria having shown similar intentions, the armistice was concluded. On Monday (to-day) an interview between the two emperors will take place at Villafranca. The Monitsur also publishes the order of the day contained in the message from Turin yesterday. The Austrian Correspondent'e contains the follow ing :—" According to official news from Verona an interview between the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of Austria will, in consequence of a desire expressed by the Emperor Napoleon, take place at Villainous at 9 o'clock a.m, to•morrow, the 11th instant." FRANKFORT, 81TVIWAY. The Oberpostamtwilung contains the following despatch direct from Verona, dated the Bth July : " At the repeated request of the French, and after their consent bad been obtained to all the conditions we have eked, an armistice has been concluded." VERONA, WIDNIIIIDAY. Notwithstanding that the news of M. de Pour tale/ departure from Berlin after his return to that town from Paris has been denied, the Ossetia di Verona of to-day announces, under date the 29,h ult., the arrival of the Prussian ambassador (Count de Poartales) at the Austrian headquarters. Fifty-eight of the enemy's Yawls are at Lumin, two of which are Sardinian. An English three masted transport is also there. TRIESTB, BATuaDAT. The French squadron left Lewin yesterday and sailed towards Pols. A liner which had approached the shore at Veruda was fired on by a coast battery, and probably injured. TURIN, SATURDAY. Count Cavour left at 4 o'clock to-day for the head quarters of the allied armies. ORDER OF THE DAY BY THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. TUAIN, SUNDAY. The Emperor has issued the following order of the day : '' VALEOGIO, iVLT 10. " Soldiers,—An armistice was concluded on the Bth inst. between the belligerent parties, to extend to the 15th of August neit. This truce will puma you to rest after your glorious labours, and to recover, if necesmary, new strength to continue the work which you have so gloriously inaugurated by your courage and your devotion. lam about to return to Paris, and shall leave the provisional command of ay army to Marshal Valliant ; but u soon as the hue of combat will have struck you will see me again in your midst, to partake of your dangers." MILITARY INSURRECTION AT NAPLES. NAPLES, FRIDAY. Two hundred soldiers, fifty of whom Were Swiss, revolted yesterday evening, and left the fort Car mine for the purpose of rousing the other troops to revolt, in which attempt, however, they failed. Oa their arrival at the Champ de Mars all the Swim and native troops who remained faithful met them with a discharge of artillery. Forty of the insurgents were killed, and the rest charmed. The town is tranquil. PARIS, SUNDAY. Letters from Naples state that Filangieri had given in his resiguation, but that the King had decided upon his resumption of the Presidency of the Council.

PARIS, BUNDIM ETSIIINO. The government papers being utterly without in &tractions to point the moral of the suspension of arms, contain not an original line of any interest on the subject. They are principally tilled with ex tracts from the Eoglish journals. I hear, and I think it very probable, that Napoleon 111., and the Emperor of Austria will shortly have a meeting. It is rumoured in government circles that, in order to punish Prussia for her recent attempts to intimidate France and dominate over Austria, the two Empz tors will sign a peace without Prussia's intervention, and that Louis Napoleon will henceforth lead him self to restoring Austrian influence in Germany. The most important telegraphic news of the day is that Count de Cavonr, on the news of the Uric', set out at once for the head-quarters of the allied armies. The following extract from a correspondence in the Isciepexclasee Beige is interesting : Is high official spheres a pacific solution is very generally believed in, if the Emperor of Austria will, Ins spirit of con ciliation, sewed Napoleon 111. in his sadeavours to reconcile the phrase in his manifesto " fns to the Adriatic" with the position yet maintained by the Austrian army in the L ou. bardo-Venetien territory, and with the treaty rights of the Issas of Hapsburg in that part of Italy. People 6:lons:tag to the meow -4v of the Emperor and Eames say to pa :vats conversation that Napoleon 111. desires to give to Buoy a new proof of his moderation. They add that the Empercr, amidst all the excitement of the great task which he boo undertaken, deeply feels the cruel losses which are Involved in war carried on with all the appliances of modern warms, and that afar Magmas and Sofferitio the eight of so many brave men laid low for his cause produced a great effect upon that conoentrated mind which is so calm on the surface and apparently so cold. They have reason to believe that the relatious of the Emperor with his ally have n,t always bees nominated with disappointment, sod that be is annoyed by the attitude of certain groups of parties in Italy. Judging from the Rollande which the Emperor has always displayed for the heed of the church, they infer that he must regret the complicatioas of the pre sent situation of Rome. Under the influence of these various hopremions, and considering that after hie rapid and bril liant moms, the result of the struggle, if it were to be pre tonged, mild only be a question of time, and the sacrifice of a certain number of lives, the Emperor thinks he may now propose a truce with the object of seeing whether the Italian question may not be more humanely solved by discussion than by the sword. The Petrie was mistaken when It affirmed that the Emperor of Austria proposed Hit suspension of hostilities. The initiative was taken by Napoleon 111. who sent the first overtures by General d'Urbases son sae: a conversation which he had with this young officer on the subject of an exchange of prisoners. A Turin letter of July 8 expresses great surprise, not unmingled with apprehension, at the sudden suspension of arms, which it describes as a coup de theatre. The Sardinian government had not the least idea that any such arrangement was in contem plation. The correspondent, however, feels satisfac tion in stating that England, which under Lord Derby's government was not very favourably dis posed towards Piedmont, has lately shown • much better feeling. He observes very truly that when the question of the reconstitution of Italy comes to be settled, England must necessarily desire to see Piedmont u strong and independent as possible; " by supporting us in a congress England would regain in Italy some of the influence which she has lately lost." Two despatches from Germany state that on July 7, the French frigate Impetneu.se, while bombarding Zara, was beaten off with considerable damage by the Austrian steamer Curtatone. The French jour nals very naturally decline to believe this news without confirmation from better authority. PARIS, BAICHDET EVENING. The following appear, in all the evening papers EMMET OF THE INTERIOR. The government has repeatedly culled 'thou the journals to be most ominous &boat publishing news and correspondence relative to the army of Italy. Unfortunately this " advice has not been sufficiently attended to, and some newspapers have gine a tegrettable publicity to appre ciations of a most compromising nature. The government consequently duds itself tinier the necessity of once more re. mind..tg the journals of the duties imposed upon them by the state of war. They must abstain from publishing de ' tails devoid of any authentic senctioo, and which for the most part serve no otberpvpre than that of 'terming families, and deceiving public apteloe as to the situation of our army. Above all thing., they should avoid giving any information which should be useful to the enemy. They must also under stand how unseemly ft is that they should take upon them selves to distribute praise end blame, and substitute unjust judgments or ridiculous pulls for the authority of official bulletins. The government trusts that this appeal to the intelligent patriotism of the French prase will sake to pre vent say muss of those excesers which tiontrut so strangel► with the unanimous manifestations of national sentiments of which It ie such a noble task for the prom to be the inter preter. The news in the Monitenr, that the truce would be of long duration, and partiCularly the selection of August 15 as the day on which it is to terminate, were regarded at the Bourse as important confirma tions of the impression of yesterday that race may be seriously expected. The Rents rxpeneuced the further considerable rise of 1.40 both for cash and account, closing at 67.80 and 68. Mobilier rose 32.60. The Orleans Railway rose 20; Northern, 7.80; Eastern, 25; Lyons, 15; Southern, 15; and Western, 10. The Austrian railways were done at an advanoe of 17.60. It was the Countess and not the Count de Ooyon who lately arrived at Marseilles from Rome. Hence the false report, on which I threw a doubt, that the general commanding the army of occupation had left his post. The news originally given by the Gazette de France that lists were being made in all the depert meets of old soldiers yet able to serve, and that a levy of 450,000 men of this class was to be made within two months, is officially contradicted by the Prefect of the Yonne in a communique sent to the principal journal of his department. The licensed hawkers of war news are permitted to cry about the streets "The Revolution in Naples." There le, however, no foundation :or this announce ment beyond the serious but abortive attempt of 200 men of the garrison, all of whom, according to the telegraph, are either killed or taken prisoners. Wednesday last, July 8, was the hottest day ever known in lanseillea. The centigrade thermometer attained the extraordinary height of 37 degrees.

A letter from Christiana states that Hans Michel sen, the oldest and the most celebrated sculptor in Norway, died on June 20. The Bishop of Calcutta has circulated a proposal to establish three schoole, one la the Punjaub, one in the North-West Provinces, and one in Bengal for the education of boys of Europese dement.

It le pro posed to locate the Bengal school at Darjeeling; the sites of the caber two bare not yet been selected, but they will be at some Hill Mallon in the Punjaub and North-Weet. The ex. King of Oade, we learn from the Calcutta Plaamix. " lately forwarded through the Foreign Office ■n ode composed by himself, and addressed to Lord Canning, in which, hi the flowery and figurative language of oriental poetry, he supplicated the representative of Boglastra great nos in the Etat, to have pity on a captive monarch and procure him justice. Tito ode, we ere beamed, was a rather lengthy composition written in Persian, end divided tato a number of parte of to many stanzas each, the parts easomlng the forme of apostrophes to hie lordship's hone, teat, pilau, sword, and elephant in taro. The as•Lieg be. stowed some very tidier's' epithets upon the viceroy, whom in are part of his composition he sty lr d the " Full bloom of the World," a title at which the viceroy will probably act feel es retitled as whew his new earldom was annourrowl le hiss." INDIA. It is stated, in the Cakutta Phenix of June 3, that the conduct of the dissatisfied European soldiers has been excellent, and at most stations they were foremost in doing honour to her Majesty's birthday. They now " quietly await the result of an appeal to parliament." On the 24th of May, at 10/ a.m., the governor general held his first levee as vi.eroy of India. The Bishop of Calcutta, with the archdeacon and the clergy of the metropolis, read en address to the Queen, congratulating her Majesty on the pacifica tion of the country, and exprering " the views of the clergy upon the relation of the government of this country to its subjects in a religious point of view. The bishop then congratulated Lord Canning on the honours with which his lab3urs bad been recently rewarded, and hoped that he might long live to enjoy them. The governor-general, in reply, stated that the address should be duly for warded to the Secretary of Stat: for India, and thanking the clergy for the congratulations addressed to himself and his government, concluded with an expression of gratitude for the " steady intro action of peace over the whole of the vast empire." In the evening there was a ball at Govetament House. The Phceniz, says Lord Canning, intends to leave Calcutta in September next for a tour in the north west provinces. The Englishman is informed that the Governor- General in Council has refused to allow missionaries to visit native jails at stated hours, unless sent for by any native. To act otherwise would be "to tarn the machinery of justice and civil government to religious purposes," and mum it to be said that we have, " under the pretence of adminlstering justice, made it a method of conversion." The Englishman estimates the Patna opium crop this season at 18,000 chcsts. _ . .. The Calcutta ' volunteer guards have been die banded, and the Governor-Gene&, on the let inst., addressed the following letter to the Consul-General of the United Swift at Calcutta : 81r,—The Right Hon. the Oovernor•Oeneral in Council having recently bowed a general order announcing the disbandment of the Calcutta Volunteer Gnarls from tit) , data, and conveying the thanks of the government to the British and European iababit• . nts of Calcutta, for the cheerful and hearty manner in which they rendered their aid in a time of need, and r donned their respective duties et a great sacrifice of their own lime and convenience. his Ex cellency In Conned directs me to request that you will have the goodness to offer to the American inhabitants of Calcutta who joined the Volunteer Guards, the cordial acknowledg ment of the government of India for the friendly and valua ble services performed by them also at a period of public anxiety.
