Ir is to be presumed that in giving notice of an amendment, to be moved in the event of that of Lord PAL►aasroN becoming a substantive reso lution, Mr. WALPOLE announces the policy agreed to at the meeting of his party held yesterday. If so, the result only shows how little realm there was for the extraordinary outcry which the Minis terial journals have been making for the last few days. It was well known that Mr. STAPIEFELD'S motion would be submitted with no factious ob jects, and it now appears that the Conservative epposition, although willing to take advantage of the state of public feeling to get a little credit for economic zeal, will be content with wafting a gentle admonition over to the Treasury benches. should Mr. STAN SP ELD'S Resolution be lost and Lord PALmmisrom's Amendment become a substantive resolution, Mr. WALPOLE will propose that the following sentence be substituted for its second paragraph :—" That this House trusts that " the attention of the Government will be " earnestly directed to the accomplishment of such " further reduction of expenditure, due regard " being had to the defence of the country, as may " not only equalise the revenue and expenditure, " but also afford the means of diminishing the " burden of those taxes which are confessedly of a " temporary and exceptional character." This is not exactly such a resolution as we should have expected from Mr. WALPOLE. As far as its terms go, it is Lord PALMERSTON'S motion, with the P BEM ER's delicate compliment to himself left out. Its fabrication seems very small occupation for a great party. The division on it will prove nothing, and most li k ely lead to nothing. The truth is, that neither of the aris tocratic factions really likes the thought of a re duction of our military expenditure, and neither will lend a hand to effect it until it is obliged. If the work of retrenchment is to be done it must be by those whose sympathies and interests are with the active and energetic classes of the com munity. The chances of battle are proverbially uncertain, and no one can tell how that which is' to be engaged to-day rosy end ; but in any con ceivable event this debate will prove the begin ning rather than the end of the labours of the friends of economy. ON the very day after the House of Commons, guided by the philosophic fallacies of Sir CORNS.. •LL Lewis, committed themselves to the Pur chase System, the Lundure Gazette furnished a prac tical illustration of the hypocrisy of its abettors and the extravagance of its results. Colonel CHARLES CAMERON SHUTS has been selected to command the 4th Dragoon Guards in lieu of Colonel ARTHUR CATILNDIEH BENTINCI, who retires on half-pay. Thus an officer of the highest professional character is selected by the Coststazaiaa-IN-Cuier to reorganize a regiment demoralised by an incompetent colonel ; whilst the incompetent colonel, instead of being punished for his misconduct, is quietly withdrawn from the publics eye until a convenient opportunity occurs to replace him on full-pay and give him a lucrative command. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE and his myrmidons at the Horse Guards persist in asserting that the system of Purchase must continue, because any selection is impossible ; and Sir Cosarxwau, Law's, in that spirit of apathetic philosophy which unfits him for his present office, endorses the audacious assertion. If selection be impossible, how is it that Colonel Sacra is now colonel of the 4th Dragoon Guards I Was there a meeting at White's, at the United Ser vice Club, or at Tattersall's, at which the future colonel of this cavalry regiment was drawn as they draw the winner in a Derby lottery I Did the Duke of CAMBRIDGE send for some of his private padres ALITRED AND THE CHANNEL FLEET.— friends, and, confessing his own incompetence, did GREAT YARMOUTH, Jose 2—The division of the channel he, with tears in his eyes, entreat them to name the fleet —the Revenge, 90, bearing the flag of Rear-Admirel officer who ought to succeed the fallen Barrrucce I Smart ; the Trafalgar, 90 ; the Emerald, 51; the Chanel- Or did his Royal Highness send for that book of clear, 17 ; and the Porpoise, gun-boat--which passed bat Reports which contains the career of every officer in week in our roadstead was joined yesterday by the St. the army, and for once in good faith exercising .his George, 90, with Prince e Alfred, Itlt t ir o Cowell, de . oa t boart h the judgment, did he select the name of Colonel Satire?

The °audition of the noble I occasions mu ch Originally it was intended to provide for officers anxiety to his friends. It is in consequence of kb Meese who had been disabled by age, wounds, or ill that his lordship has been precluded from mixing in society. lopA health, or who had been temporarily deprived of employment by reduction. But theme objects were so completely lost sight of, that in 1854 it had become usual for an officer to retire on halt pay whenever he found it inconvenient to go with his regiment. The result was, that about that year a regulation was made by which "no officer " could be put on half-pay except by medical car " tificate, unless he had served 21 years." At least, so said Mr. SIDWIT HERBERT in 1857 ; and in 1861 a new regulation was made by which no officer was allowed to be put upon half-pay until after a service of 25 years as a commissioned officer on full pay. Now is it true or is it not true that Colonel Arson CAWLEY/MR BEICTIRCK has been placed on half-pay t The fact is not to be denied, for is it not written in the Gazette f Bat he has not served the requisite time. Why is it then that be has been allowed this excep tional privilege ? Age, wounds, or ill health are the only titles to half-pay, but Colonel BINTINCH has suffered from none of these misfor tunes. He has been disabled from serving by nothing except by want of judgment, want of temper, and want of intelligence. His years have only increased his original defects of cha racter ; and as for wounds, ho has inflicted more on the character of his brother officers lend on the service than he has ever received in ithe defence of his country. He has no doubt spent a certain sum of money on his commission, and he improbably anxious not to lose the advantage which the position of Lieutenant-Colonel entails. In the absence of other virtues, let us do justice to that of economy, even though it be at the ex pense of the public service. It is an amiable weakness in a Royal Duke to take an interest in the pecuniary concerns of one of his officers who has a Dukedom in prospect. But the public natu rally desires to know upon what principle even a Royal Duke is to be permitted to set aside the regulations which have been solemnly promulgated by the War-office, and by which Mr. SIDRZY HIRBERT declared that the Secretary of War was bound. If the half-pay list is to be used as a sort of trap-door down which officers convicted of incompetence are to be with drawn from the public gaze and maintained at the public expense—then let this whole system be explained in the House of Commons. If the advocates of retrenchment are serious, let them ask the WAR SECRETARY why it is that Colonel BErrrnrca has been permitted to retire on half pay 4 Other officers have been refused this privi lege, and there are other ways of getting rid of in competent officers. Why was not the same option placed before Colonel Beirrnem as was placed before Captain ROBLE:MN f Captain ROBRILTION had made himself obnoxious. His retirement was declared necessary for the good of the service. And what was done in his case 1: He was offered the alternative of selling his commission or of standing a court-martial. He stood the court-martial, and was acquitted. But his acquittal places Colonel BErerrscx, his commanding officer, very much in the position in which Captain ROSIRTRON had stood. If the Duke of Cinnamon., Sir Gitoniaa Baowir, and all the officers of the Staff of the British Army thought that Captain Rosawrsorr ought either to sell out or stand a court-martial, it is impossible to understand why the same neces sity ought not to be imposed upon Colonel BEN TINCE. At all events, it is clear that this officer is the last man who ought to be allowed to claim the privilege of half-pay. If the present House of Commons still enter tained any sense of responsibility to those who elected it—if there were any genuine desire to THE EXPENHITUER DEBATE TO-RIGHT. It is tuederetdiod that the oroendmente of Lord R o bed Monahre, Mr. Hunan, and Mr. Darby OHS& are to be wittrirawn, low* before the boon the Mead motels of tie member ter Halifax, the amendment wining from the government, end the amendment. of Mr. Walpole and Sir F. Smith, of the opposition. Sir Frederic Smith proposes, as an arcendment to the second paragraph of Viscount Palmerston's amendment to Mr. Stendeld's motion, to leave out the words after " observes," and to insert the words " that although some reductions have been made in the national expenditure, reductions may be carried much further without detriment to the public service, and that the present oonditbn of the finances of the country renders this proceeding urgently neccesary." A meeting of 188 members of the conservative party took place at half-past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoos, at the Duke of Marlborough's hones in St. James's-egusre. The assembly included the members of both breathes of the legis lature—the Esal of Derby, the Earl of Oarnervou, the Bight Hon. B. Disraeli, the Right Hon. Sir W. H. Jolliffe, Sir John Pakicgtoo, the Right Hon. C. B. Addirley, Sir Hugh Cairns, Sir Stafford Northoote, Colonel lkylor, The Earl of Derby was first to address his political friends, and roads a long speech as to his own views on political affairs, more particularly on the finances of the country during the last two years. His lordship was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his speech, which appeared to give the utmost Illtistaction to his supporters in both Houses of Parliament. It is said that while the expendi ture on the army and navy was accepted as a neceesity be yond present control, "the fortunate heir of a great name and a great fortune," as the Tina describes him, delivered it se his opinion that all her Majesty's civil servants were overpaid, from the ambassador at Paris to the vice-consul at Ningpo. The amendment of which Mr. Walpole subse quently gave notice in the House of Commons was read to the meeting, and approved of amidst loud cheering. THE BALLOT. The bill brought int 3 the House of Commons by Yr. H. Berkeley and Lord Fermoy, to cause the votes of parliamentary electors to be takes by way of ballot, contains seventeen clauses and the following schedule : " Form of Voting Paper to be used at Elections. "[County, city, or borough] of " Election of [here insert number] members. "Candidates. "[Hen insert names of candidates alphabetically.] " Directions. "The voter is to strike out the name or names of the candidate or candidates for whom he does not intend to vote by drawing a line through the same. He must be careful not to leave not struck out the names of more candidates than are capable of being returned, namely [here insert number] members, otherwise his vote will be of no effect. If he cannot read he may require the re turning officer or deputy returning officer to strike out for him such =me or names as he may direct. The ballot paper so marked by or for the voter is to be dropped by bim into the ballot box, folded so as to exhibit only the stamp on the back. The voter is not to take his ballot paper out of the ballot room or polling booth, nor to exhibit his paper after the names are erased to any person, otherwise his vote will be of no affect. If this paper bears the name of any voter, or any mark, impremion, or device designed to distinguish it from other papers, it will be in valid, and not counted as a vote." economise—the War Minister would be taken to task for permitting so scandalous a waste of the pub lic funds. But apathy is the order of the day, and Parliament contents itself with debating abstract resolutions instead of passing a vote of censure upon a War Minister who permits a Royal Duke and his familiar friends to squander the public money on his own favourites, aad to shelter incompetent officers at the public cost. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, • LATBEIt INTELLIGENCE. %WM% ITLZGRAD AMERICA. ADVANCE OF THE FEDERAL ARMY. NSW YORK, MAT 23, Swaim (Per Jura via Quebec and Londonderry.) A portion of General M'Clellan's army have crossed the Chickahominy at Bottoms Bridge. The second division crossed the Chickahominy at New Bridge, seven miles further up, and within eight miles of Richmond. The Federal advance is reported to be five miles from Richmond, to which point the Confederates have fallen back, makine but slight efforts to check the Federal& It is rumoured that General Beauregard has arrived at Richmond, and that General Bragg commands at Corinth. The New York Times is of opinion that the Con federates will evacuate Richmond without fighting. All accounts received, however, represent that the Confederates will offer a vigorous resistance at Richmond. It is rumoured, but not confirmed, that the Con federates have fallen back from Fort Wright to Fort Randolph. The Confederates are pressing vigorously on General Banks' column, and have attempted to burn the bridge lately erected by the Fedoras across the Shenandoah. A collision has occurred at Washington between the military and civil authorities on the fugitive slave question. The. Memphis papers state that the Federal fleet has arrived at Vicksburg, in the Mississippi, with out meeting any resistance, and that it has left Vicksburg for Memphis. The Federal War Department has issued a call to several States for a fresh levy of volunteers. It is asserted that this new levy will amount to 50,000 men. Semi-official Washington despatches state that M. Mercier visited Richmond unofficially without instructions from the French government, and that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward entirely approved his going. K Mercier, on hie return, communicated the impressions he had received to President Lincoln and Mr. Seward. The New York Journal of Commerce thinks there is no reason to believe that the war will be ended this summer, unless there be a revolution in the Southern States. Letters from New Orleans represent the people generally in a state of sullen submission. The Federal fleet has captured the British steamer Circassian near Key West. The United Stated, District Court has ordered the restitution of the British steamer Delman, the seizure being declared illegal. The City of Baltimore, Borussia, and Anglo- Saxon have arrived out. NEW YORK, MAY 24, EVEMPO. (By Telegraph from Farther Point.) The mayor and city councilmen of Norfolk have refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Fede ral government. A generally rebellious spirit having shown itself in the town, General Wool has declared martial law, and announced that Norfolk would be cut off from trade and commerce unless the people returned to their allegiance. General Banks officially reports that the Confede ates have driven the Federal Colonel Bentley's command from Port Royal, with considerable loss of Federal" in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Confederates now probably occupy Port Royal. CIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, BUT A Evincnta. (Pe: Jura, vii Loodoliderry.) Money abundant. Gold 3} premium. Exchange very firm. Bankers' bills, 114.

Estcourt has fixed his motion on this subject for the 24th inst., and last night communicated to the house the following amended liaise of its terms "That the law relating to church rate. may be beneficially nettled by combining in one measure the following objects:-1. To repeal the present legal proems for enforcing compulsory church rates ; 2. To give facilities for the collection of voluntary rates ; 3. To enable vestries specially summoned (and in which owners of property shall have a vote by proxy), to transfer from the occupiers to the owners so much of their liability as relates to the repairs of the parish church and churchyard, and to make some special rate as may be voted by the majority, recoverable by the same process as rata, for the repair of highways."

Colonel William Stuart will ask the Secretary of State for War, on the 17th, whether a free passage will be granted to the wives and families of officers who were sent out to Canada during the pest winter, or any other allowance be made to enable them to join their husbands in Canada. An English nobleman, the Earl of Dunmore, h reported by the Richmond Examiner of May 1 as one of the gnats at the Exchange Hotel in that city, he having "run the blockade in the Nashville on her last inward trip." We (Times) aro requested to state that Mr. Rick ards, of Queen's College, Oxford, is no longer a candidate for the Professorship of Political Economy, the election for which will take place on the sth instant. _ _ _ The presentation to the rectory of Foxley, Wilts, having lamed to Oxford University ham the patron (lady Holland) being a Roman catholic, four candidates for the vacant preferment have announced themselves, viz., the Rev. Lewis A. M. Way, late carats of the pariah, Rev. H. B. Byrne, M.A., Fellow of Queen's College, the Rev. Charles Hill Awdry, M.A., late of Queen's College, and the Rev. Octavian Ogle, M.A., of Lincoln College. A letter from King's Lynn says :—" Perhaps it is a noteworthy circumstance that while zabeeriptions for the sufferers have flowed into the keeping of the Mayor of Lynn, a neighbouring incumbent, apparently alarmed lest the waters should by and by wet his own parishioners, has volunteered a partial drainage in exceedingly good time—in the form of a demand for immediate payment of his tithe, not usually collected till Michaelmas." A letter from Darmstadt, dated the 30th May, in the Nord, says :—" This morning, at 11, a funeral service was performed for the repose of the soul of her late Royal Highness the Grand Duchess Matilda of Hesse and of the Rhine. A magnificent catafalque had been raised in the centre of the Catholic Church. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, the Prince Leopold of Bavaria, brother of the deoeased lady, their Royal Highnesses Prince Charles and the Priem', Prince Alexander of Heise, and all the prince and princesses of the Grand Deal Home, were present at this sad and mournful ceremony. The foreign ministers resident at Darmstadt, Count Lot sow, Baron Labenski, Count Reisil, Baron Omits, and all the ministers accredited to the Grand Ducal Court, who reside at Frankfort, testified by their presence their deep grief at the lees which the Grand Duke has sustained. All the great nobles of the Grand Duchy, all the members of the Chamber of Deputies, the Generals, the Ministers, the civil and military functionaries, the catholic clergy, and the protestant clergy, were assembled in the vast enclosure of the church to pray for the repose of the soul of the excellent Princess whom we have just lost." Letters from Cologne mention the passage of large bodies of emigrants bound for Antwerp, where they ' are to be shipped for the Bawls. At the atm* time we him of districts of Prussia where there is • greet scarcity of bands for labour. The papers attribute the emigration to South America to the efforts of unscrupulous scents, who deceive the working chimes by magnificent promises, in fulfilment of which they find, upon arrival, an unhealthy clim►te, unsparing taskmasters, sod endless misery. A mercantile house at Antwerp is named as being actively engaged in this traffic, and as forwarding amp altar cargo of unfortunate Germans across the Atlentio to perch is the coffee plantations of Sea Paolo. CANADA. QUEBEC, Wax 23. In Parliament the Government was defeated on the 20th instant on the Militia Bill, and resigned in consequence. - . A new cabinet has been formed under the presi dency of Mr. J. S. It is understood that the Militia Bill is among the measures on Mr. M.Donald's programme. MEXICO. KEW YORK, MAT 23. Advice@ received here from Mexico to the nth, and published in the New York journals, announced that Juarez and his cabinet had fled from the City of Mexico to Queretano. I The French had advanced to within a short dis tance of Puebla. Casual skirmishes had occurred between the French and Mexicans at Las Cumbres—the Mexi cans being routed. The Mexican Government had ratified the Wyke- Yamacona treaty. General Prim had arrived at Havannah. Vera Cruz had formally declared in favour of Almonte. Washington despatches declare the report of Juarez quitting the capital to be false, and add that the Mexicans are preparing to defend the city. It is stated that Mr. Corwin has negotiated a treaty for the Federal government to lend Mexico 10,000,000 dole. The Mexicans had occupied Soledad and Cordova, and were cutting off the French communications with the coast. PARIS, TOISDAT. The Moniker of this morning publishes the fol lowing despatch from General Lorenoez, dated 29th April :—" The troops fought a glorious combat yesterday. They dislodged Saragosa from all his strong positions in the mountain. The enemy had 8,000 infantry, 200 cavalry, and 18 guns. Twenty prisoners and two howitzers remained in our pos session.

The same journal contains a report from Ad miral Jurien de lo Graviere, dated May 10th, which says :—" The movement excited by the pre mature debarkation of the Spaniards has been allayed.

A handbill from the national committee, relative to the Italian ftte of June 1, has been posted on the walls and thrown about in the streets. It says : " Let this anniversary be celebrated no less joy ously than it was last year. It were needless to point out to you the means, for you have only to interrogate your own hearts, which have always found out the way to elude the vigilance, and defy the rage of the German sbirri." The Abb6 Zinelli, who is very unpopular in Venice, on account of his violent anti-Italian preaching,has just been rewarded with the bishopric of Treviso, and his entry into that town yesterday to take possession of his episcopal see was the occasion of a rather serious h;seuti. Several Orsini bombs were thrown at his carriage, and three per sons in his suite were wounded. The town was in a state of alarm, and several shops were closed. The national ooinmittee of Treviso (there are national committees everywhere) had issued a pro clamation, recommending patriots to take no part in the installation of the bishop, and stating that anybody who did would be a marked man. A few days ago this bishop, while walking across the Place St. Marc, was set upon by • gondolier, who struck him in the face, saying, " Here, you rascally fat priest, take that for your sins." The gondolier was arrested, and is now in prison. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR owl' PARIS, 11011 DALT EVIITIIO.

I think it likely, however, that he will, if neces sary, wait a few hours for a conference with Prince Napoleon, who is, however, expected this evening or to-morrow. General Montebello leaves for his post at the end of the week. It is impossible to collect from the emasculated observations of the government journals upon this appointment whe ther it has any political signification or not. All their praises of General de Montebello fail to show in what particulars he is expected to act otherwise than as General de Goyon would have done. The facts are simply these, that the army of occupation is reduced from eight regiments to six, and that the commander-in-chief is changed. The clerical party affects to believe that the reduction is effected from purely economical reasons, and that the principle of the occupation remains unchanged. The friends of Italy think they see in the recall of General de Goyon (whose quarrel with M. de Lavalette was notorious), and in the maintenance of the latter in his poet of ambassador, while the occupying force is reduced, a warning to the Pope which he and the bishops by whom he is surrounded at this moment cannot but lay to heart. The Con stitutionnel still harps upon the project of reconciling the Pope with Victor Emmanuel, but I believe the non possumus to be still the watchword at Rome. There is a rumour of Cardinal Antonelli having recently written a diplomatic note repudiating all compromise. . • The government has at length determined to appeal to the Court of Caseation, in "the interest of the law," against the acquittal of M. Mitt* by the Court of Douai. This proceeding does not affect M. Mires, who can be no party to it, the maxim non his in idens protecting a prisoner ac quitted by a competent court from being tried a second time on the same charge. But although the acquittal is irreversible, it is competent to the Court of Caseation to declare the reasons on which it is based bad, in order that the case may not form a precedent. Said Puha took leave of the Emperor this morning. Before his highness left the Tuileries the Emperor came into his apartments, and taking off from his own neck the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour, placed it on that of the Viceroy. His Majesty then accompanied his guest to hie carriage and twice shook hands with him at parting. The Vigie of Cherbourg says that Prince Alfred is expected there immediately on his way to the Mediterranean, and that he will stay a few days at Cherbourg. It is stated that Count Wien, the French consul•general at New Orleans, has sent a note to M. Mercier, French minister at Washington, com plaining of alleged acts of violence committed by the Northern generals at the French consulate. The Pattie says that the Grand Duke Constantine is not yet appointed Viceroy of Poland, but only Lieutenant to the Emperor. lam not prepared to say what may be the value of this distinction. However, the Patric understands that the autonomy of Poland and its constitutional government are things not decided upon at present, bat only con templated for the future. The Bourse has been heavy. The Rente fell 30c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 701 r. and 70fr. fa. Mobilise fell lfr. 2bc. The Italian Loan rose 36c. In railways there was little change. Clime Mires fell nearly 20fr., closing at 881 e. 75c. ANOTHER MIRACLE. The Monde of yesterday publishes a pastoral lett er from the Archbishop of Spoleto to his flock, relating to a series of " miracles" which be asserts have just been per. formed by an old and discoloured image of the Virgin Mary, standing in • niche in the open country near Spoleto. " Some months ago," he lays, " this venerable image to some extent revived its worship by means of a voioe which was several times heard by • child under five years of age, named Henri, whom it called by his name. It also showed itself to this child in a manner which we cannot describe." The bishop then goes on to narrate that several villagers suffering under dangerous and painful afflictions--especially persona labouring under rheumatic affectiocs—felt them. selves inspired to visit this image and worship it, and were restored to perfect health. A woman whom a malignant spirit had tormented, he says, stated in dying that the Virgin was about to receive new honours, and that &Jerold° would be built to her on the spot. A man whose feet had been crashed by the wheels of a waggon no wooer approached the image than he was able to stand and walk as before. Moral miracles have also been performed. Scoffers, who have gone to the spot, have, on drawing near, experienced a complete change of heart. The exhibition has not been unproductive to the treasury of the church. Every visitor is expected to leave some deposit, and the archbishop speaks indignantly of an attempt made by • police officer of the Italian government to procure • satisfactory aooount of the receipts. The archbishop gives an account of his visit to the place with his clergy on the Bth, and of the directions which he gave as to the restoration of the image, which be says is in a very damaged date, and as to the building of • new church on the spot. He has had a medal struck, he remarks, in honour of " the divine image." He concludes as fol lows :—" The devotion to Mary goes on increasing in a meaner which is extremely consoling to my heart. May God be ever blessed for having deigned in His mercy to revive the faith throughout the Umbria, by this pro digious manifestation of His powerful Mother Mary! Bleared be the Virgin who has deigned to select the arch bishopric of Spoleto for this manifestation! Blessed be Jesus and Mary, who by this merciful manifestation awaken the liveliest hope in the breasts of catholic', and permit them to foresee the approaching triumph of the church and its august chief, and the conversion of poor sinners !"

Signor Gavazzi has just arrived in London, and is about to lecture and preach on the present state of re ligion in Italy, for • mouth in Loudon, and afterwards in the provinces. A convention, which has been signed between her Majesty and the King of Denmark for the mutual sur render of criminals, was issued this morning with the par. lianteatary papers. A curious exhibition to all who are not afflicted with delicate nerve takes place every evening at the corner of the Rue Villa Aid and the Avenue de St. Cloud, Pads. In a small field there situated a wooded house, covered with pitch arid other combustible matters, is erected daily, and set fire to at about 8 o'clock each evening. The flames in the course of • few moments reach • gigantic height ; and when they are most ardent • man jumps into the midst of them, rolls about, and pulls down Hering rafters, which be carries sway. This salamander can stay in the fire from five to seven minutes. When he comas out the clothes which enable him to do so amok' like a steam engine ; they are said to be made of asbestos covered with sponges freshly imbued in some chemical preparation. He attracts as many spectators as the Touaregs did yesterday at the Hippodrome, when all the representatives of barbarous or savage states are invited by the manager when he wants to have a very crowded house. The Federal General if Dowell, according to the last accounts from Fredericksburg, occupied Chatham, the mansion of Mr. Lacy, a secessionist, of Chatham, was built by • judge Ooelter, whose daughter Lacy married. The wdge's widow inherited her husband's property, and she ished to free her slaves, ninety-five in number. at her death. Horlawyerpersuaded her to will that the slaves might have the choice of becoming free or of selecting masters or mistresses from =peg her blood relations, and her will was made in accordion, with this suggestion. leg, when hie mother-in-law died, claimed in right of his wife the ninety. five negroes as his slaves, because by the laws of Virginia a slave, not being a citizen, had no right to chores, and he sold every one of the slaves down South. SUPPRESSION OF THE WEST-END BROTHELS. — Yesterday, the authorities, acting on the suggestion of Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, for the suppression of the infamous houses in the West-end, commenced vi -"or cos proceedinp for their extirpation, and the owners and occupiers of those establishments in the vicinity of Hay market, Loicester-square, Regent-street., Covent-garden Market, and the Strand, received notices to shut them up forthwith. and all who fail to do so will be at once iodicted and punished with the utmost rigour.
