----- OUR PARIS LETTER• (FROM OfR OWN CORRVIPONDIUM.) PARIS, F.GDAY EVENING. In the Senate yesterday M. de Mitupas, the coup d'o,,t Prefect of Police of December, 1851,delivered a grout speech against the Publie Meetings Bill. It will be remembered that this senator, whose name h a s been forgotten for many years, was originally elected reporter by the committee on the bill ; but when it was found that a majority of six to five determined to support the Emperor's moat mode rate and cautious reform, he resigned, and M. He bert Delisle was appointed in his place. M. Delisle made a singularly anodyne report, rather ac cepting the bill with resignation, because pro posed by the Emperor, than recommending it. M. de Maupits yesterday recapitulated all the argu ments that were used in the Corps Legislatif against the ‘• dangerous innovation." He thinks the Empire cannot bear such a violent change as the substitution for a law which prohibited all public meetings without previous authorisation, of one which merely enables the executive to prohibit them whenever it pleases. What shocks his nerves more than anything is the possibility of electoral meetings. Universal suffrage, he says, will cer tainly be cajoled by glib opposition speakers, whose eloquence will carry conviction to the minds of simple hearers, and gradually undermine the glorious constitution of 1852 of which he and other pure Napoleonists are so preud. The losses of the government at recent elections, and the marked progress of the opposition, ought to serve as a warning. He, with his long ex perience, knew well enough that the opposition would have it all their own way at electoral meetings. The conservatives, if they attended them at all, would go only front the spirit o! curiosity, and would be seduced by the capti vating eloquence of democratic orators. Here several senators, and among them Viscount de la GueronniZ•re, (leneral Count de La Rue, and the Marquis de la Valette protested vehemently against M. de Maupas's ignoble opinion of the con servative party, which they said would ever be • found standing in the breach and equal to the occasion. Did not the conservative party save society in 16418 ? This interruption gave M. de Maupas an occasion to say a smart thing. It was quite true, he said, that the conservatives had done g ,ped service at the periol alluded to, but then they had done it in accordance with the ever prevailing tendency of the esprit r,,:licuis by opposing the existing government. Ile doubted much whether they would ever show s•, ;ouch energy in defence of a government. lie 'pined issue with those who thought that in an er cut which all must hope might be far distant— the demise of the crown—liberty would best secure the continuance of the Emperor's dynasty. His conclusion was that safety was only to be 14oticl in the old jog trot principles of 1852 which had worked so surely—universal suffrage properly directed, so as to deprive the electors of the possi bility of concert and acting in unison. This part f the speech was interrupted by exclamations from several senators who said that if this were so, the country was so unintelligent that discussion real(' only inisle:ol it, universal suffrage must be despaired of. M. de Maupas urged strongly that although the Senate had passed the press hill, it did taut f o llow logically that they should pass this. And he said truly enough that if M. R4ellier's argument that the bill must be pa,,ed because the Emperor had pmposed it were to prevail lie did not tee where the senate could ever exercise their new preroga ii-. is all. It is, no doubt, absurd when the C-rps Legislatif has no initiative, and the a .n;a -t• are all the Emperor's neminees, that they should have a veto on a bill brought forward by the crown. It is a veto that will never be exer ci-41 unless in the case of a " cross." After a speech by M. Behie, in support of the hill, the debate was adjeurned. The Bourse was very firm, notwithatanditg a decline in Consols. Rente rose 25c. for cash, and 12! . .e. for account, closing at 69f. 70e. and 6')f. 771 c. ; Italian rose 87ie.. closing :at 521. ; Credit I',-racier rose 371. 59e.: reel Mobilier, gf. 70c, Fl ANcE AND PRUSSIA.

The public interest in harem is not to die away with the last echoes from Epsom. Before beta are paid and the faces of numbers have resumed their wonted expression after the settlement," the great annual show at Islington—for such it may now be called—invites the multitude to a more minute and deliberate inspection of horses —one, too, in which the useful is judiciously blended with the orna mental. The general arrangements for the present show are decidedly superior to those of last year, or of any preceding one, and the public will have a better opportunity than ever of in dulging leisurely criticism or interest. The area in which the horses are to display their merits, the space ronnd it, and the general appearance of the building, are all that could be desired to render a visit at once pleasant and safe. Under the roof there is an ample and graceful awning forming an effectual protection against the sun and an agreeable finish to the general aspect of the hall. The number of horses entered in this exhibition is 372, including no less than 135 hunters, which will of course form the main attraction in the public estimation, by reason of those steeplechase feats which always excite the admiration of visitors. The show of carriages and other articles of a use- i ful character, arranged in the arcade and galleries, is extensive and varied, and, as usual, invention has done its best to attract attention by novelty. In the more useful departments of this adjunct are to be iwen patent pea 'limners, patent milk churns, and butter making machines, horse clipping machines, chaff-cutting machines, clip ping scissors, agricultural carts, Milburn and Co.'s dessicated cattle food, billiard tables, stable fittings, specimens of harness, patent tube wells, agricultu ral and horticultural implements, miniature clocks, horse medicines, &c. The judges for the present year's show are the Earl of Macclesfield, Viscount Combermere, Lord Kesteven, Colonel the Hon. Sir Charles Ray, Colonel Kingscote, C. 8., M.l'., and Mr. Harvey M. Farquhar. During the judging of the second class of hunters, in which the Prince of Wales is a competitor, and also of the Arab class, in which his royal highness also appears in that capacity, Colonel Kingsoote will not, he has declared, act, as his close connec tion with the Prince, in reference to his stud might appear to savour of unfairness. The judges entered the ring this morning at pre cisely 10 o clock, when there were present 500 or 600 persons, chiefly connected with sporting circles. They were accompanied by Mr. John Clayden, the chairman ; Mr. Sidney, secretary and manager; and Mr. R. Leeds and other directors. The fol lowing was the order of judging and the pro gramme of the day :-Ist. The four classes of hunters—stallions—classes 13, 14, and 15 and after class 15 hacks in the following order, viz., classes 5 to 10, the parade of prize horses to conclude the day's programme. The prizes were distinguished by a blue riband for Ist, crimson second, orange third, and green for com mended specimens. The Prince of Wales, it was understood, had signified his intention of being present during the day in company with the Crown Prince of Denmark, but in the course of the morning a communication was received that the visit was postponed. It is believed that the Prince will be present on Monday. In the ring with the judge' were the Viscount de Montemar and the Count Morny, as agents of the French Emperor. The judging was a slow process, arising 'chiefly from the immense number of entries, there being no less than 50 in the first-class of hunters. Class 1. Hunters—Weight Carriers. Equal to not less than 15 stone. First Prize, 80f. No. 12. Captain E. H. Heygate, R.E., Buckland, Leominster. " Mountain Dew."

In the competition for the above prizes 9 hunters were put at the hurdles, but very few of them took the jump clearly. Noe. 31 and 38, however, took it with great ease and readiness. HER MAIRSIT'S THEATRE MI'RE' HAYMARKET. The re-building of this great opera-house has just commenced, under the inipenintendance of the Marl of Dedlff'll architect, Mr. Lee ; the eon tractors being Mews. Trollop. and Bons, the well known builders. By the terms of their conliract, they are to have the house ready in forty weeks from the present time, oe to pay a forfeit of 1,0001. a week for every week they go over that period. The old lines of the building, we presume, will be preserved, as they could hardly be improved by any theatrical architect •, but the little bijou theatre will not probably be replaced. The seating capacity of the old house was under seventeen hun dred seats, or loss by three hundred than the seat ing capacity of the New Queen's Theatre in Long acre. This will be increased in the new house. - ---- THE, STORM OF YESTERDA K ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Reports from all parts of the metropolis and its suburbs concur in stating that the heavy storm of yea• , terdaty was the most severs which has been experienced Mune June, 1866. At St• Stephen's Church, Southwark, the steeple of the fine sake was struck at ten minutes past 1 o'clock, sad the lightning then ran aloes the roof, and broke it up in • remarkable mantier. In the same locality • chimney stack was struck and much damaged, and a mass of bricks and mortar fell into the room on the third floor, and injured a little girL AtCamberwellfour houses were damaged. At Peekbara the lightning, besides damaging two houses, killed a horse belonging to a gentleman living near the Rye, and de stroyad • fine elm tree. Several houses were struck by the lightning In the West•end, and one in Cumberland street was greatly damaged. NAVAL INTNLLIGKATE. THE CHANNEL E3QUADHON. The Arum and Nat-n Gmette says that the ships under the orders of hear-Admiral \Warden, C.B , are, it is stated, to prooeedto the coast of Ireland for a month's cruise, not only to test the sailing, steaming, and other qualities of the different iron-clads, but to accustom the officers and men to the various evolutions which would be practised when in right of the enemy. Our contemporary also says that Rear-Admiral Ryder'semployment asseeond iu command of the Channel Squadron, is tocoritinue only, so we are informed, for a period of five months, when he will be replaced by another officer of his rank, who will, when he has acquired knowledge and experience, in his turn make room for a successor. Retired Director-Oeneral of the Medical Depart ment of the Royal Navy, Sir John Liddell, K.r.8., F.R.S , expired at his residence in London on Thursday.

SECOND EDITION. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in lianoo.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron, end Barons Channel and Pigott. PuimiezNrs. This morning the court gave judgment for the defers. dents in the owe of the Brazilian and Portuguese Bank v. the British American Bank Corporation (Limited), which raiaed a question concerning the right to certain Lille of lading. In the case of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue v. Pear on and others. appellants, involving a question am to the stamp duty, payable upon an indenture of lease of certain coal mines in Yr.:kid:tire, their lordships pro nounced judgment in favour of the appellants and against the determination of the commissioners. BUKRUP AND ANOTHE!:. Mr. Prentice, Q.C., on the part of the plaintiff, the Rev. Henry Lloyd. the perpetual curate of the district church of St. Mark's, Kennington, who brought this action to recover 275/. from the defendants, the churchwardens of that church, being the amount he claimed to be due to him for two quarters' stipend, moved to set aside the ver dict, which had been formally entered for the de fendant', and to enter a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The case came on for trial h,fo: c Mr. Baron Pigott, a few days ago, in the Exchequer Chamber, when the whole matter was referred to this court. the ouly question being purely one of law. The litigation appeared to have arisen out of differences between the plaintiff and some of his parishioners under the ('butch Buildings Acts. The minister's stipend was' payable out of the pew rents received within the year. and one of the •iiiestious was as to the period when the year commenced. Another question was whether the defend ants were liable for the money received by their prede- Nabors in office. The court granted a rule intimating that it should be drawn up so as to raise all the points of law in the case, and that it should come on for argument with the plain tiff's demur ter to one of the pleas.. Kale nisi accordingly. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MORPHEIT T. MORPHETI, .... Sei jeaut Parry, Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Lush f.,r the po.titioner ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.O , Dr. Spinks, Q.C., end Mr. St►veley Hill, Q.C., for the respondent. On the 9th of June the petitumer Frederick Wood Morphett, a clerk in the Bankruptcy Court, married Fanny Partridge Patteson, a niece of the late eminent judge. He now sued for the restitution of his conjugal rights ; but the respondent, pleading in reply charges of cruelty and adultery, prayed for a judicial separation. The parties lived together till the beginning of the Sep ' tember after their marriage. They had frequent quarrels of a somewhat wore silly character than usual ; but the case re illy turned on the question whether a serious illness from which the respondent had suffered was or was nut the re sult of her husband's misconduct. The details were, how ever, utterly unlit for publication ; and the trial was not concluded when we went to press. POLICE COURTS.--(THIS DAY.) MANSION-ROUSE. DARING STRRET RUBBERY. This morning, before the Lord Mayor, Thohia. , Ward re,e, a young man wearing a suit of black clothe.:, waa charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, value 15/. The prosecutor. Mr. Thomas Berens, a director of the Guardian Fire and Life Assurance Office, Lombard-street, was walking from London-bridge to the Cannon-street Hotel shortly after 11 o'clock last night, and as he was passing the steps leading down to Thames-street, the prisoner made a rush at him, and stole his watch and chain. The prisoner then ran down the Mein, followed by the plc.: miter crying "Stop thief,"and at the top of Miles lane, he was arrested by a young man named Spiers. On being given into custody he stated that he had nothing to do with the robbery, and that he was running after the thief, but it was stated there was no one in advance of hi,E, and the watch was picked up shortly after wards on the spot where he was arrested. The prisoner was remanded for further inquiries, as it is believed that he has been previously convicted. CLERKENW ELL. A COWARDLY FELLOW ~,• Lad, of et, Hope-terrace, Islington, was charged before Mr. Barker with unlawfully assaulting and beating Jane Osborne, on the 21st of May last. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman, had kept company with the defendant for about three yearn, but at Christmas last he told her when in a drunken state that he did not wish to speak to her any more. She had not walked out with him since, and that had made him Jealous. On the day in question as she was speaking to some young girls, 'Elie de fendant went up to her and struck her a violent blow in the face, saying. " I will tell you what that is for when I gut you by yourself." He ran off to prevent being locked up, and a short time afterwards she again saw him, when be went up to her and again struck her.

The sporting papers this morning devote a con siderable parboftheir space to descriptions and retrospects of the events at Epsom daring the week. Bell's Idle says it I. singular that The Earl, rocas, and the Toni Bowline colt—all bound apparently on this year's public form to ' have the best of Blue Gown and King Alfred, should from one cause or another have been absentees when the final muster took place in the hollow, and without forone moment attempting to detract from the merit of Sir Joseph Hawley's colt's very commendable victory, Bell'. Life inclines to an opinion that he was fortunate in not having any one of the above three, St and well, to throw down the gauntlet to him for the great prize of the year.—With respect to the withdrawal of The Earl, the Field believes that if the Marquis of Hastings bad had the entire con trol of his stud, different tactics would have been adopted, " but as he is in the hands of parties who pay little deference to public opinion further comment on the manner in which The Earl was w orkedi in the market is unneoesr ry."—That the Derby, in falling to Blue Gown, was won by the beat here, that ran, if not the hest of his year, there can (says " Beacon " of the Sportinfr Go:ette) be no question, for notwithstanding that the early part of the race was slow, no sooner did Orion take up the running than the pace became a " cracker," which Mr. Benson has taken care to tell us plainly enough, for according to his unening chronograph, the distance was accomplished in 2 min. 4;l sec., which is only half a second longer time than it was run in by Kettledrum end Blair Athole. Bar.. Life says that as several remarks have been made touching the fact of Fordbam not riding Lady Elisabeth in the Oaks, " we have been requested to state that imme diately after her disgraceful exhibition in the Derby, he personally applied to the Marquis of Hastings to release him."—The Sportemao understands that after Lady Eliza beth had passed the post for the Oaks, 2,000 guineas were offered for her, which sum was, however, refused. Pace.—Fro m several communications the Sportsman has received there seems to be a general impression that all bets made on this bora, after the numbers were hoisted for the Derby were off, in consequence of his breaking down, and not going to the starting - poet . The Sportsman made especial inquiries bearing on this matter, and finds that the Derby being a p.p. race, all these bets will have to be paid. With respect to the Oaks, seldom has the Field seen a hollower victory than that achieved by Formosa, and she must be a veritable " flyer," or the lot behind very mode. rate fillies. To the former opinion the Field inclines, and the departure of the sire of Formosa—Buccaneer—from this country is a heavy loss to the breeders of blood stock. As to the St. Leger, " Augur " says that by the remit of the Derby the D oncaster event is made a somewhat open affair, all the notable performers, both in England and on the continent, having been entered. "Augur," however, has a fancy for Formosa and Rosicrucian, being persuaded that the latter will show im mense improvement on his Derby running when he has time to undergo a preparation gradually and easily, with out bustling —Although " Vigilant" of the Sportsman is not in a position to explain the running of the Danbury filly, lie says it may be that the public will see her in far different form on the Doncaster Town Moor. ll.tlLwAY '.NU OTHER BILL , : EFFORT , : PARLIA. 71 F.N r.

One of these men repeating a t rad ition which had long existed in the district, told Gann that ono of the Spa nish vessels had been wrecked not far from that mat, and intimated that he himself could point out the spot. Gann having finished his special job, made terms with the fisher man, and they were both out for ninny weeks dragging the spot indicated, for any traces of wreck. They were at last rewarded by coming upon obstructions with their grapnels. Gann brought out his diving apparatus, and rare enough the truth of the tradition was vindicated by the finding of • number of dollars. which had originally been peeked in barrels ; the barrels, however, bad rotted away, and left the gold stacked in barrel-shape. With the money so re- covered, John Gann built at Whitstable, his native place, a row of houses which, to commemorate the eiroumvianee, he called Dollar-row.—afrrni..itl Mognaine tee June.
