Mona matter and less art would perhaps be desirable in the speeches of a Minister without a Portfolio who is commissioned to expound to a Legislative Chamber the foreign policy of • powerful Government. M. BILLAULT was, in times of yore, a Parliamentary speaker of no mean ability ; he sate on the Extreme Left in those days, as the advocate of extreme political opinions, and of somewhat socialistic theories of labour and capital. His oratory, always copious and clever, has gained in force and clearness since he has accepted the part of an Imperial rhetorician, ready to defend with equal grace and spirit the temporal power of the Pots and the independence of Italy, the occupation of Rome and the principle of non intervention, the invasion of Mexico with a clerical and a military conspirator in the train of the French army, and the independence of the Mexican people. Rhetoricians, with their rank abundance of phrases, are the native growth of that soil of Imperialism formed out of the decaying matter of dead liberties. M. Bizzsuir's recent efforts, how- I ever, are too like those of the Napoleonic drame, in which gunpowder and big drums eke out the poverty of invention and the " damn able iteration " of the clap-trap. Seldom has this eminent talking Minister performed his allotted task with a more intrepid assurance or a more pliant versatility than in the debate on the Mexican expedition upon which the curtain of the Legislative Session fell, since nothing remained for the deputies to acclaim but M. Di MORITT's 908 valets et plaudite. And yet if M. Brusuir's exercitation was intended to convince public opinion beyond the walls of the Chamber of the justice, necessity, or prudence of French policy in Mexico, we are obliged to observe that it was a brilliant breakdown. It leaves the Mexican expedition in a maze of words which will not save the lives of brave and valuable troops perishing like rotten sheep of the vomits, hemmed in by a hostile popula tion, uncertain of supplies, with the choice of an inglorious retreat to their ships, or of inglorious and unprofitable victories if they advance. " The " interests and honour of France," " the sword " and the flag of France," are sounding word l worthy of the applause of a French Assembly, and of the respect of all men. But it required leas moral courage in a Minister to pronounce them than in an independent speaker to vindicate the national rights of a weaker State, to denounce the in justice as well as the difficulty of an enterprise which begins by • French general and a French plenipotentiary breaking their word, and goes on to stake the honour and the blood of France upon a scandalous transaction of jobbers. The conduct of the French general and plenipo tentiary towards the Mexican Government pain fully recalls the expedition to Rome iu 1849, when M. DE Laassris (who, indeed, was acting with strict personal good faith) represented France as amicably disposed towards the Roman Government, while General OUDINOT announced that he came to protect the free expression of the national will of the Roman citizens. M. Juts° Rivas no doubt had the precedent in his mind when he condemned the vague and evasive language of the French Minister at the Conferences of Orizaba. And what is the substance of M. Bru.strLr's apology for the separate action of France in Mexico? He dwells upon the injury and annoyance which French citizens have suffered at the hands of suc cessive Mexican governments, as though the injury and annoyance endured by English merchants were not far more considerable in proportion to the far larger amount of English capital and enterprise at stake. It was to obtain satisfaction for these out rages and losses, and sufficient guarantees against their recurrence, that the Convention of the three Powers was signed. M. BILLAULT, at least, does tardy justice to the conduct of England, which the semi-official organs of the French Government have been systematically misrepresenting. No wonder England is called "perfidious," for nothing seems so perfidious to those who sign Conventions only to break them as an honest adherence to positive engagements. It is no concern of ours to explain the policy of Spain ; it is possible that the Court of Madrid wu duped at the outset by its own designs, and that to General PRIM belongs the credit of de clining to pluck the chesnuta from the fire that France might present them to an Austrian Arch duke. It is no longer doubtful that the Govern ment of France went to Mexico with a secret and an ostensible policy, and that it has fallen into the trap it had dug for its allies. The deceit it would have practised upon them has recoiled upon itself, through the delusions of its own agents and of the partisans who are conspiring against their country under the French flag. According to M. iliu-sur.r, the policy of France in Mexico was, and is, to put down the Government of JUAREZ, to consult the sentiments of the Mexican people, and lastly, to leave JVAREZ in power and the people to its fate, if the machinery of :nal suffrage, set in motion by French bayonet., of the lonise Islands. should not prove to work so smoothly in Mexico as it works in Europe. On the sub ject of " the independence of Mexioo, " and the principle of national sovereignty," M. BlLLauir was betrayed by the fervour of his faith into a comparison which we would recom mend to the attention of our Italian friends. He taunted the Liberal party in France with " ap " proving beyond the mountains what .they dis " like beyond the seas." The Imperial orator likens the people of Italy to the people of Mexico, and takes credit for having not only deli vered the Italians from foreign governments, but for having given them an opportunity of making known their wiahee. Such a comparison seems a strange compliment to Italy ; but it is also doubly fallacious, inasmuch as the administration 01 JITARIZ is not a foreign Government in Mexico like the Austrian Government in Lombardy and the Austrian Duchies in Central Italy ; and, as a matter of fact, the French have left the Austrian Government standing in Italy, and would actually have restored the foreign Governments of Tuscany and Modena bat for the resolution of the Italian statesmen and people. Ministers without Portfo lios are sometimes, we fear, involuntary witnesses against the Government which their rhetoric adorns. In their laudable anxiety to paint the most flatter ing portrait of the Imperial system they are apt occasionally to exaggerate the picture, and to make the resemblance more striking than agreeable. For instance, here is one side of the Second Empire, as it is presented to an admiring world by M. Bu.t.iutr, in his eloquent peroration. "The Bag " of France will never cease to be the flag of right, " justice, civilization and liberty." This is admi rable, but here is another portrait of the same, en silhouette. M. Jut= Rivitz had exclaimed—" W e " abhor all tyrannies, even those that disguise them " selves." To this M. Busauir rejoins, amidst loud acclamations, "Tyrannies that disguise themselves " are those which recognise the national sovereignty " but only respect it when it obeys them." These are golden words, and deserve to be written up over every polling place throughout the French Empire at the coming general election of repre sentatives of the people. The .Aretoricain of Brest announces the arrival in that port of Prince Alfred on board the screw ship-of the-lie. St. George. The prince quitted Cherbourg on Sunday morning. When the St. George anchored the French flag wu displayed at her mast-head, and a salute of tweotyene guns was fired, which was answered by the land battery gun for gun. The prince was immediately waited upon by the chief of the staff of the Admiral-Prefect of Brest (who offered him an apartment at the prefecture), and by the British consul. The prince, in courteous terms, ez• premed his regret that he could not accept the prefect's hospitality, as he did not wish that his presence at Brut should give rise to any official reception. The Armoricais adds-J' Prince Alfred, who wears the uniform of a mid shipman, is seventeen years of age. He bears a strong like ness to his royal mother. He speaks French fluently, and has all the appearance of being a smart officer." Hui Serene Highnese Prince Solna Braunfels has arrived at the residence of the Hanoverian Legation, from Hanover. His Excellency Lord Bloomfield ie expected to arrive in Loudon oa the 14th ist. from Vienna, os a brief leave of absence.

Brand, M.P., and Mrs. Brand, with Mr. Thomas Henry Farquhar, eldest sou of Sir Walter Radcliffe and Lady Mary Farquhar, and nephew of the Marehionew Cholmoudeley, is appointed to take place on Saturday neat. The Duke of Devonshire's assembly last evening, at Devonshire Hamm was among the most brilliant re unions of the present season. It was attended by about 700 persons, including nearly the whole of the distinguished foreigners ►t present in London. All the saloons of this superb mansion were thrown open and brilliantly illumin ated. Her Royal Hightails the Dachas d'Aurnale was among the early visitors. Previously to the assembly, the noble duke entertained at dinner the Countess de Flahault and Mdlle.

The Conntegs of K inn oull and Lady Anne Macken zie have obligingly undertaken to reassemble the " Fancy Quadrilles," which excised so much admiration at the Cale donian fel:myths., ball last week, at the coming " illmackt'• on Thursday. These sets, respectively entitled "The High land Quadrille" and "The Flowers of the Forget," were the great features of the Caledonian ball, and their reappear. ant* on Thursday will doubtless ensure a brilliant assem blage of company. ilia Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, after trying the engines and the trim of his vessel, on Monday, proceeded in his yacht to Portsmouth.

P., having been unani mously elected chairman of the Galway Board of Town Commissioners, resigned his office at a meeting held on the 26th ult.. He stated that he was about to take a little recreation in another clime, on account of the state of his health. He suffers from a kind of debility that he never felt in his life before. "I may tell you," be says, "that mach is the state of my health at present that it is with great difficulty lam able to dress in the morning. I foal that it is not from my time of life or overexertion. I have gone through certain phases of circumstances, which, perhaps, might have some effect upon me, but my under standing is not impaired." A very painful circumstance occurred in Dublin on Monday. While a cue was proceeding in the Court of Exchequer it was found that the counsel for the defendant, Mr. Ralph, wee not present. He was immediately sent for, and found lying dead upon his bed. He had died of stran guleted hernia, and so suddenly that there was no time for an operation. The announcement of the lamentable event caused a great sensation in court. It is stated that the Northern of France and the South Eastern Railway companies are preparing fora large ' accession of continental traffic during the next two or three ' months. In the month of June 14,000 passengers rimed between Boulogne and Folkestone, an increase of 6,000 over the coneeponding month of last year, and to meet the ex pected further increase there is to be organised, on ad after the 15th inst., another express service each way leg Folkestone and Boulogne ; making two express tidal services in the day time between Paris and Loudon. This will be in addition to the night service by the same route.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY LATEST IN TELLIGENOS RUSSIA. The journal La Bourse of St. Petersburg says : The extreme heat and the absolute want of money in the country nearOdemaare stopping the transport of wheat and fodder to the port of that city. The exportations of the Polish provinoes are equally at a standstill. Complete destitution as regards ready money places many egriculturiste under an impossibility of exporting their products. In consequence of this state of things the prices of wheat are too low for the producer and too high for the merchants of other countries; and the result of this is the absence of foreign vessels at Odessa. Commerce in general is in a most pre. carious state. Mexican . universal GREECE. According to the last intelligence from Athens of the 24th ult., a certain amount of agitation still existed in the kingdom of Greece, and particularly in the islands composing the Cycladee. Disturbances were considered not unlikely at Byre at the time of the municipal elections, and, in consequence, the au thorities had taken great precautions. The orders transmitted to the Prefect of the Cyclades recommend the greatest abstention on the part of the government agents ; the new ministry, in place of employing com pression, being resolved to allow the utmost liberty. Most persons, private letters state, are of opinion that the new system will not succeed better than the old, the feeling against the government being exceedingly strong. As to the moderate portion of the press, it has assumed an expectant attitude with regard to the new cabinet. The Prkurseur, without allowing itself to utter any direct blame, seems to regret the former ministry, and remarks that, whereas all the preceding ministers could use the French language, there are only three of the new members that understand that language. ITALY. The military school founded last year at Genoa, as an asylum for young Polish emigrants, and placed under the direction of General Joseph Wysocki, was about three months ago removed to Cuneo. As soon as the Poles were informed of certain diplomatic difficulties which their school might occasion, they avoided everything that could cause useless embarrassment to the Italian govern ment. M. Ratazzi, on the 19th ult., addressed a letter to General Wysocki, in which he said : At the present moment, finding myself placed in a political necessity which imperatively calls for the dissolu tion of the Polish school at Cuneo, I address myself to you, general, as its director, to request you to dissolve it, in order to spare embarrassment to the King's government. At the same time I hasten to express to you my deep re gret, and to do justice to the order and tranquillity which have been always observed in the establishment wader your care.—Accept, &0.. U.

An active skirmish has taken place before Rich mond, the Confederates assuming a more menacing attitude. The Confederates opened fire upon the Federal fleet at City Point. The Federal returned the attack, silencing the Confederate batteries. General BuelPs army has left for East Tennessee vii Huntsville. General Jackson has a considerable force at Harrisonburg and Fort Republic. General Shields has concentrated his forces at Strasburg. Fremont is advancing to New Market, and an engagement is expected in the valley of the Shenandoah. General Pope has relinquished his pursuit of Beauregard. It is reported that the Federals will now form a defensive line from Corinth to Memphis, and abandon their aggressive policy in the West during the summer months. The Confederates continue to receive reinforce ments at Richmond. It is reported that the Federal Secretary of War willl call on the Governors of the various States for additional troops. The Federate have occupied Cumberland Gap, evacuated by the Confederates. No material change has taken place in New Orleans. One man has been hung in that city for hauling down the Federal flag from the Mint. Pierre Sould has arrived at New York, and is confined in Fort Lafayette. The House of Representatives has passed a bill confiscating the slaves of rebels. A Federal supervisor of the press has been ap pointed in Memphis. The Federal sentinels have received orders to shoot any persons attempting to lower the Federal flag or to molest Union citizens. Three thousand bales of cotton have been shipped from Memphis. Guerillas are reported to be burn ing the cotton in Northern Mississippi. In reply to the Emancipation Committee, Prod dent Lincoln said that an emancipation proclama tion would not attain the desired end, as the con stitution itself cannot now be enforced in the Southern Stater. The Committee of Ways and Means have re ported a bill largely increasing the temporary duties upon imports, imposing an additional duty of 25 cents per gallon upon brandy, and an additional duty upon all spirits, iron, copper, coal, carpets, woollens, books, tobacco, coke, and drugs—in fact, upon all articles of foreign importation. The Naval Committee have reported a bill to Congress, establishing naval depots and yards on Lakes Erie, Michigan, and Ontario. (Latest by Telegraph to Father Point.) NEW YORK, Jugs 21, Emma. The Confederates have been largely reinforced at Mobile, and are making extraordinaryefforts to pre vent the capture of that city. The Federal troops at Key West will reinforce the troops before Charleston. The Federal gunboats have captured a Confede rate battery on White River after a sharp engage meat. Beauregard is at Oka.lona, with 80,000 men. Kerby Smith is at Anooga 20,000 strong, and Vandorn, with a small cavalry force, M at Granada. Wild rumours of the defeat and success of 14‘Clellau are current this afternoon, but cannot be traccd to authentic sources. General M'Clellan reporta this afternoon that things are pretty quiet to-day, and there is not quite so much shelling as usual. "Our prepara tions," be continues, " are progressing well. The enemy opened fire with some heavy guns yesterday, but did no harm." Other despatches state that nothing more than daily skirmishing bas yet occurred before Rich mond. The confiscation of the steamer Circassian is con firmed. The schooner Mary Stuart Nashaa has been captured while running the blockade. The crew escaped ashore. The City of Washington, leaving to-day, takes out 2,400,000 dole. in specie. EVENING, JULY 2, 1862. MURK. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last night Mies Louisa Pyne made her first sppeareace at this theatre in the thunder of Zerlina, la Don Giovanni. Her debut wu entirely successful. She looked and acted the little rustle firt perfectly well ; she wu lively and piquante, without the exaggerated by-play which actresses too often resort to in this put. As may be supposed, she sang charmingly, and was listened to with delight. Her duet with Giuglini, who was the Count Almavivs, " L. el darem la mano," admirably sung on both sides, was loudly encored, and the seine compliment was paid to her " Vedrai urin►" In short, she was one of the pleasantest &ninon we have ever seen, and used the Italian language with u much cue, purity, and grace ma if she had been on the Italian stage since her childhood. The opera was performed in the same way as it has been during the season, with the exception of the part of Elvin, which was performed by Mdlle. Michel with moderate success. The house was very full.

NEW YORK, Jun 2L The Now York journals publish &deices from Vera Cruz to tho let of June. Almonte was acting u Provisional Governor at Vera Cruz. lie had issued a notice permitting the entry of flour on the payment of three dollars per barrel duty. The New York Herald has Mexican news from Yucatan to the 28th May, stating that the Mexi cans were rising in large numbers to resist the French, who would be compelled to surrender. The officers of the French fleet in New York harbour report that the latest official Mexican despatches were very favourable to the French. According to news received here the route from Vera Cruz to Orizaba is open, and supplies have been forwarded to the French troops. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom °us owsr comeronizier.) PARIS, TOZEIDAY EVIIII/10. The evening papers have very little to say about General de Lorencez'a report. The Pays, with that hardy disregard of truth which seems to be expected from the semi-official press, draws from it the con clusion that "the Mexican nation is not with Juarez, and therefore France only acted in accordance with the rules of prudence and the principles of the law of nations when she refused to treat with or recog nise as a regular government the chief of an oppressive minority." This is really saying the thing which is not with more than habitual impudence, in the face of the news lamented by General de Lorencez in poetical and pathetic terms, that Puebla, the city which he had been taught to believe was more favourably disposed to the French than any other, and would scatter cowers under their feet, barricaded every street against them, and repulsed them from its walls with heavy loss ; and in the face, moreover, of the admission that of all the Mexican generals whose aid was reckoned upon, one only, Marquez, the notorious assassin and outlaw, joined the French ranks in the hour of need. Of course the independent journals dwell upon these facts. The Temps trusts that Father Miranda, Al monte's acolyte, whom it has been thought desirable to send on a mission to the Tuileries, will be dis appointed in his reception. The Opinion Nationak says : The Emperor now knows what to think of the affair of Mexico. After the information which he must have ac quired by conversation with Admiral Jurien de la Gravies*, and alter the news lately received from various worm, he will doubtless separate truth from error, and will act solely in accordance with those principles of justice and that atten tion to our true interests which should guide our policy. The Presse is of opinion that Almonte and his crew wilfully led Lorencez into a trap at Puebla, as knowing that a reverse would serve his cause better than a victory, because the French always avenge a check to their flag without reference to any other considerations. "Victory," says the Presse, "will avenge as on the enemy ; but who will avenge us on those professing friends who deceived us, as General de Lorencez himself says, and who are the true authors of the misfortune which has befallen our arms 1" The Senate yesterday referred to the Minister of I I Justice, as being worthy of consideration, two petitions against the decree of 1882, which forces the judges of the Court of Caseation to retire at the age of 75, and all other judges at the age of 70. M. Baroche, while maintaining that the decree had done good service in its time, seemed to admit that it was now desirable to modify it. In all proba bility the government will consent to the repeal. The real object of the decree was to weed the bench of Orleanists and Legitimists, and the reason put forward that at the ages above-mentioned men were necessarily unfitted for their official duties was but a pretext. Now that several judges appointed by the present government are getting old, it will doubtless be found out that they are nevertheless very vigorous. Autrefois e'etat autrement, mast swus aromas change tout eela. A new Bourbon conspiracy has been discovered at Naples. Four men, arrested while posting re actionary proclamations in the street, are said to have made important revelations, in consequence of which the police proceeded to arrest an ex-major of the royal army, M. Frederick Fiore, an ex-captain in the navy, Marino Caracciolo, and two brothers named Citnmino. Some French legitimists at Rome have presented addresses to Francis IL Young Bombs replied in a fine mock-heroic style that he " would never abandon the Pope, and would personally draw the sword for him if necessary." The settlement of the Bourse is entirely against the bulls. Rente to-day fell 15c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 58fr. oc. for both. Mobilier rose Hr. 25c. ; and the Italian Loan 10c. Rail ways were weak, but the quotations are scarcely altered. Count de Persigny has returned to Paris from his visit to London. A correspondent of the /edipendance, writing on the 30th of June, says, " According to the statements which I have received from various quarters there have taken place st Lucerne, under the windows of the Count de Chambord and the Duchess of Parma, imperialist sad Garibaldian demonstrations. Three led to disorders which required the intervention of an armed foroe, and some per sons were arrested. I do not know whether this incident has hastened the departure of the Count de Chambord, but it is announced that that prince sate out to-day for Loodoo." PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

BENEDICT'S CONCERT. Mr. Benedict's annual concert at St. James's Hall, on Monday morning, drew together one of the largest and most brilliant assemblies we have ever mean in that place. The entertainment was so ample and varied that it is impossible form to speak of it in detail ; but we may say in general that the selection was such as might be ex pected from Mr. Benedict's taste sad judgment. It in cluded the whole of the music composed for the Inter national Exhibition ; favourite pieces extracted from his principal operas, The Gipsy's Warning, The Lily of Killarney, The Crusaders, and The Brides of Venice; and miscellaneous pieces of English and foreign composers. The vocal performers were Mile. Pampa, Mdlle. Titiena, the sister Marchisio, Madame Le make, Miss Louisa Pyne, Mdlle. Liebhardt, Mdlle. Madame Guerrahella, Mdlle. Georgi, Mdlle. Gillis., Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Bentley, Signor Belletti, M. Gassier. Mr. Weiss, Signor Bettini, and Signor Zucchini. Instrumental pieces were performed on the piano by Mr. Benedict, on the violin by Herr Joschhn, end on the horn by the celebrated coreist, M. Vivier, who has just arrived in London. The concert was of great length ; but the music was so excellent and so varied that the attention end interest of the audience were kept fully awake. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The Commissioners and their staff are working hard to make the prize-awarding festival of the 11th of July as attractive as possible, and they have invited the chief a royal military bands from France, Belgium, Hon mi, Austria, Prussia, and Italy. The British military bands will be those of the Hone Guards, the god Life Guards, the Royal Artillery (two bands), the Royal Engineers, the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, the Scots Fusiliers, the Royal Marines, and the Volun teer Engineers. If the Emperor of Austria's band should fortunately accept this invitation, the public will have a real musical treat, as no such body of performers on brass instruments exists in the world. Yesterday was another good average day at the building, the total attendance being 62,336, of which 56,770 were by payment and 5,566 by season tickets.

This is the closing day of the Battersea Show. Arrangements have already been made for the re moval of a great portion of the foreign and Scotch stock. The steam ploughs have finished their operations at Farningham. Mr. Fowler on Saturday is said to have performed a most unprecedented feat. With the double cylinder 14 horse-power engine driving the 7 tined cultivator 6} inches deep, he is re ported to have broken up a considerable piece of land at the rate of three acres an hour. Although we do not vouch for the truth of this statement, we believe it to be trite. It is one of some few results which come out of what is a simple uncompetitive examination. We made some calculations, to which we attach no particular importance, because the different implements were frequently impeded by the crowds which pressed round them, and only give them here to satisfy any curiosity which may be felt respecting the compa rative powers of the different sets of steam tackle exhibited by Mr. Fowler and Messrs. Howard. The latter, with a 10-horse double cylinder engine at 701 b. steam pressure, a plough which cut 90 inches in width, to a depth of to 7 inches, turned over 3 roods per hour, or 7} acres a day. With the grubber, at the time we made our observations, they were working at the rate of 9 acres in 10 hours. Mr. Fowler, with a single cylinder 10-horse power engine, run ning with 601 b. to 701 b. steam pressure, was ploughing with digging breasts, 7} inches deep, at the rate of one acre per hour, or 12 acres per day of 10 hours. His large 14-horse power, with 501 b. steam pressure, with four-furrow plough taking 40 inches, 7 to 8 inches deep, inverted 31 roods an hour, or 94 acres a day of 10 hours. Inconclusive as these calcula tions may be, they show at any rate that great ad vances have been made, and it is very encouraging to know that from 15 to 20 of Mr. Fowler's and Messrs. Howard's seta of steam tackle are purchased by foreigners, and are about to proceed from this country to lend their great shoulders to social re volutions—to be produced so quickly, and silently, and surely, by no other agents. The first two columns of the Nord of to-day are de voted to a legal judgment, in which are set forth the various steps in an action for damages which was commenced against that journal in 1861 by Dr. Bernard, the French refugee.

COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE 011 THE RIVER. INQUEST.—(THLS DAY.) Thin morning an inquiry was held at the Green Man Tavern, ilighwtreet, Poplar, by Mr. H. Raffles Waltbew, the deputy coroner for East Middlemen, into the circumstances of a collision on the Thames last Sunday afternoon, by which Agnes Shand, aged 21, lost her life, and some others received various injuries. P. England, who was unable to stand from injuries re. mitred on the occasion, said that oath* afternoon in question deceased and some other friends and himself took a large strong row boat at Cherry-garden Pier, Bermondsey. Wit. nese and a young man named Chapel rowed down the river. The tide was running up, and when they got near the Dreadnought there was a steam-tug towing a fishing smack up the river, to avoid which they tried to cross over to the Poplar side of the water. They had just escaped two passenger staitners and a sailing vessel at the same spot, and in two strokes they would have been clear also of the tug, but the latter would sot stop, but came right into them amidships. The shock cut the boat in halves, and threw all in it into the water. Witness lifted up hie band to signal the tug to stop before the collision, but he could see no one on board. When in the water he got under the paddle-wheel, where be found a rope, which he laid hold of, and was dragged along under the water. He was picked up by a small boat, and was taken to the Dreadnought hospital ship. The de ceased had laid hold of him as she fell in the water, and he held her until he found himself under the wheel, when her mantle gave way, and he mw her no more. The others laid hold of the guard-chains, and were taken off by boats. Halliwell was injured in the arm. They had been all perfectly sober, and witness and Halliwell were accustomed to rowing. The tag could have stopped before the collision. Several persons sew the cap tain of the tug run up on deck with only his .trousers on after the acc i dent. The tug was 1W yards off when wit. was first bailed it. The steamer coming down the river would have run into them if they had stopped short to allow the tug to pass clear. By the Jury—They were all perfectly cool and collected. They had during the day only ginger beer to drink. The tog was named the Ranger. Wm. Chapel said that at the time the accident happened the tide had just begun to run down the river. The tug was bailed by the boat, and also by a sailing veined which was near, but witness saw no one on board the tug. The wheels of the latter did not stop until witness and hie companions were all under water. Wm. Delman. a waterman who witnessed the occurrence, was then examined, but he threw no additional light upon the matter. Mr. Kills, the coroner's officer, stated that the ciptain of the Ranger was oot then present, and the court wed ad. lemma to give bin. an opportunity of giving any explana• tory statement which be might have to offer. The proceedings. excited great interest among the nautical community, and the room was crowded. THE MURDER AT ASHTON-UNDER-LINZ APPREHENSION OF TWO MEN IN MANCHESTER. Yesterday afternoon two men were captured in • house in Butler-street, Manchester, of whom the authori ties had been in search, on the charge of being concerned in the murder of police-constable jump, at Ashton, on Saturday morning last. About 4 o'clock four members of the Manchester county constabulary came over to Man chester, and proceeded at once to the neighbourhood of Butler-street ; they were also accompanied by tour of the Manchester city police. In Butler-street they met with Police-constable Robert Shaw, of the C division, and be pointed out to them the house they were io quest of. This r No. 136, Butler-street, and is occupied by a man named John Johnson, • maker of brickmen's shovels, and other instruments. The police quietly but quickly surrounded the home and knocked for admittance. No reply was reed*, and the front door was immediately forced ; this Mn. Johnson made her appearance, and riedeaveend to stop the of the two °Ern who corned. One of than raised in his arms, and earned her acres the door, and ran up the stairs. Just u the oaten were going up the staireure, they caught sight of two men standing in a doorway as the right-hand side at the top; but before the officers could reach them they had slammed the door to and bolted it. The door was quickly broken open, and inside they found two men. The blind was down, and the room tolerably dim. The oHcers only expected to and one me, and were taken somewhat by sac. prim One of them broke • pane of glass in the window,and called for assistance. At the back door was Polite-constable ilbsw.and ea hearing the call he broke the back-door open sad two other doers, all of which were locked, and, followed by more oilers, ran up into the room where the prisoners were found. At first the prisoners way inclined to he rough,but the appearance of so strong a body of police caused them to submit, though very sullenly. They were charged with being concerned Sr the murderof police-constable Jump, but made no reply. After putting on their coats they were handcuffed, and a cab sent for, and removed to the railway station, from whence they were taken by the first train to Ashton. The room in which they were found is at the back of the house, and contained • bed. On the table were the remains of their dinner. They bad on their shirts and white moleskin trousers only; the re mainder of their clothes was found in the house. One of the men, whoergnanie is John Ward, aliu Knowlea, has the marks of recently inflicted blows upon the forehead and nose. The other gave the name of Michael Burke. On the spot where the deceased Jump was found, a piece of paper which had been used for wadding, wee picked up, and on it was written " Michael Burke . This man, up to the time of the murder, wore bushy whiskers, but they had since been shaved off. Both men are from the neighbourhood of Dialed's, and have been absent from home since the affray. The house in Butler-street was watched, and two shovel hafts, • hammer, and • gun stock were found and taken awa . Sergeant Nacho, of the B division, afterwards Johnson, the occupier of the house. He was drunk at the time. It is a singular coincidence that the observations of police-constable who is on duty in Butlerutreet, led him to remark to his sergeant that he believed some of the men who were " wasted" at Ashton were in Johnson's house. The officer had noticed Mrs. Johnson fetching liquor into the house very frequently sine Saturday, and Johnson himself had been in • state at intoxication for several days put. All the doors in the house sad about the yard being kept locked would seem to indicate that Johnson knew who hie lodgers were. Johneen has • very good trade amongst the bricklayers, enjoying almost a monopoly in this district. He will be brought up at the City Polioe-court this morning. The prisoners Walsh and Burke will probably be brought before the Ashton county magistrates at noon. WICATHZE REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDIIIIIDAT, JOLT; I Li 11. IL K. D. r. C.
