No fears were entertained as to the personal safety of the French Legation who were still in Mexico. The town of Vera Cruz was occupied on the 27th ult. The foreign troops were permitted to embark without being molested by the military."

To-day the Sultan visited Versailles and the Mili tary School at St. Cyr. DEBATE ON MEXICO IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER. PARIS, Jr LT 9, EVENIIIO. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the Mexican question was discussed. M. Thiele said : —"The Mexican expedition has ended without any good results to France. Our compatriots re main exposed to greater losses than ever ; our commerce with Mexico is ruined, and the pres tige of our greatness is compromised in America. Even in Europe the Mexican imbroglio has ham pered our attitude towards the great revolution accomplished in Germany. The lesson of this unhappy expedition is that control and opposition are necessary. The Mexican expedition was ap proved by no one in France, but was neverthe less undertaken and continued for several years. There are two ways of understanding mo narchical government. The first is the rule of a prince with irresponsible ministers, who merely execute the orders they receive. The second is a prince governing with responsible ministers, who have to submit their views to him as the head of the state, and can, if necessary, lean upon a representative assembly, which is able to oppose the ministers, both, however, dependent upon public opinion. This is the form of monanhy towards which we must advance as speedily as possible in the interest of the govern ment and the country." Perfect stillness pre vailed in the chamber during this speech. M. Granier de Casaagnac defended the Mexican expedition. M. Jules Fevre stated that the real idea of the expedition was the subversion of the Mexican republic, and the establishment of a throne in Mexico, but this intention had been concealed by the government. The French troops ought to have brought back Maximilian, and thus have saved France from the stain of blood which will rest upon her. (Noisy interruptions.) M. Rouher protested strongly against the words of M. Fevre. ITALY. FLORENCE, JULY 9. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the discussion of the Ecclesiastical Property Bill was resumed. Signor Borgetti attacked the proposed liquidation, which he believed to be dangerous both to religion and to the state. He admitted the pos sibility of reconciling the church and the state on the basis of a liberal compromise, and commented upon the instructions which had been given to Sig nors Vegozai and Tonello and the intentions of the Riess°li Ministry relative to the negotiations with Home. The Chamber will sit again this evening. thibat anis ilittitarv. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 9.

I EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM ova Owe OORRISPONDINT.) PARIS, TUEMOAT EVENING. The Monitcur du Suir says that telegraphic despatches, dated Mexico, July 1, by way of Vera Cruz, and which reached New Orleans, on July 6, were this morning received in Paris. They bring the official confirmation of the news that the Emperor Maximilian was executed on June 19. The city of Mexico surrendered on June 21. No uneasiness was felt about the safety of the French legation. Vera Cruz was occupied by the republicans on June 27. [The date of June 25, which has been been mentioned, was incorrect.] The occupation took place without any disorder and the foreign troops were able to embarx and get away without molestation. Thus calmly and in a tone almost complimentary to Juarez and his troops, does the Muniteur register the utter extinction of the empire which the French government set up in Mexico, and the creation of which was once called by Napoleon HI. " the greatest act of his reign." My doubts whether the third grand personage who rode in a line with the Sultan and the Em peror yesterday was the King of Wurtemburg were well founded. The Daats, indeed, says that it was the King, and enlarges upon his personal ap pearance; but I find by the Muniteur that the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar was the person. It is characteristic of this Paris season that kings are so plentiful in the streets as to be mistaken one for another. M. Ronher, when pressed yesterday by M. Jules Fevre with the argument that there was a consti tutional objection to the 158 millions 'asked for in a supplemental budget, on the ground that most of the money had been spent while the Corps Legislatif was sitting, and yet the chamber's opinion was not asked, admitted that the government stood before the house requiring a bill of indemnity. The grounds on which he asked for it were that at a moment when war was very possible, the efforts of the government to avert it, which had turned out successful, might have been paralysed by public excitement had it been known that they were making war preparations. M. Jules Fevre quite approved of the increase of pay for the soldiers, and of the expenditure for improved weapons. He was altogether for better arms and fewer men. A minority of only 12 voted against the 158 millions extra. The Temps mentions (tinder all reserve) that, ac cording to private letters and even despatches received at the Italian legation, a movement by the party of action is apprehended. The simulta neous departure from Florence of several Garibal diens, without any known reason, is very striking. The Thdatre Francais and the Odo Son are closed this evening in consequence of the funeral of M. Poniard. Mr. Sothern made Ms first appearance in Paris as Lord Dundreary at the Italian Opera-house last night. He is to play every night for some time. The Bourse was firmer, although transactions were neither numerous nor important. Bente rose Ific. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 85c., and 68fr. 770.

Yesterday a presentation was made to Sir Ben jamin Phillips, at his residence in Portman-square. A short time ago a committee was appointed to prepare a suitable testimonial. The sum to - be expended was GOO guinea, and Messrs. Hunt sad Haskell were entrusted with the workmanship. The testimonial consisted of two silver candelabra, each carrying seven lights, and much artistic skill was manifested in the figures in relief, and in the general design and ornamentation, bearing the follow ing inscription :—" Presented to Sir B. S. Phillips, Knight, Alderman of the Ward of Farringdon Within, by the members of his community, in testimony of their appre ciation of the admirable manner in which he sustained and paced the office as Lord Mayor of the City of London from November, 1865, to November, 1866, thereby emi nently maintaining the high character of the Corporation, and entitling himself to the respect and thanks of his brethren."

The annual rate of mortality was 21 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 962 boys and 937 girls, in all 1,919 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1&57-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,510. The aths registered in London during the week were 1,130. It was the 27th week of the year; and the average number of deaths fur that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,299. The deaths in the present return are lean by 169 than the estimated number. Thirty-one deaths oc curred from small-pox, 22 from measles, 19 from scarlatina. 27 from whooping-cough, and 45 from typhus. Four deaths from "choleraic diarrhcea ' " 2 from "English cholera," and 54 from diarrhom were recorded.

RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLlA wesT.—Yesterday, in the House of Lords only one com mittee sat, that being in the Painted Chamber, where their lordships further pi0...-eded with and main adjourned until this day (Wednesy) the Midland Glasgow and South Western Railway Companies, and the Midland Rail way Bills. In the House of Commons nothing was done excepting in Mr. Dodson's committee, in the Tea-room, where the Wandsworth-bridge and the Fulham Railway Bills were passed through, and ordered to be reported, the former with and the latter without amendments. - DI/MINUET FOR SKIN DIBRABBB, 56, GRIN! MARLDOROOGH-NTRIZT, RIDOINTRTRINT, W.— Two bas• ere& and twenty-seven patients were relieved at this dis pensary during the week calla( July 6. The state visit to the Opera on Monday next in honour of his Majesty the Sultan will be an wad= of peculiar interest. Such an event is, we believe, mainly without precedent in this country. The following is an outline of the arrangements for the occasion :—His Royal Highnea the Prince of Wales, attended by his suite and by the Lord Chamberlain and the various officers of her Majesty's household, and accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Highness Prince Teak, and other members of the royal family, will arrive at the Covent-garden entrance of the Floral-hall at a quarter-past eight o'clock, being received by a guard of honour. Imme diately on the arrival of his royal highness, the Guards' Band, stationed in the hall, will play the National Anthem. At half-past eight his Majesty the Sultan, attended by his suite, consisting of about forty persons, and by his Excellency the Turkish Am bassador, all in full uniform, will arrive, and be re ceived by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. On the arrival of the Sultan the band will perform the Impe rial Turkish National March. Immediately after the re ception the procession will be formed, and proceed through the Floral-hall, ascending the staircase at the east end, and passing through the crush-room of the Opera-house to the royal box. The royal box will be placed in the centre of the house, the crush-room forming its ante-room, an arrangement similar so the one followed when her Majesty with the late Prince Consort, accompanied by the Em peror Napoleon and the Empress, visited the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, in state in the year 1835. The Floral Hall, which will certainly form a magnificent sells de reception, is to be superbly decorated, and a profusion of dowers and plants displayed. The side Males and the galleries will be set apart for visitors, the procession of the royal party, with their suites and the officers of her Majesty's household, proceeding along the centre of the halL When the royal visitors have taken their seats, the National Anthem, "Gad Save the Queen," will be performed on the stage, after which the opera will commence. The opera selected for the occasion is Auber'a Afasesidlo. At the conclusion of the performance " God Save the Queen " will be played by the orchestra as the Prince and Sultan rise to depart. The royal party will leave the building by the Floral-hall, the military band repeating the National Anthem, and continuing to play while the procession passes along the ball to the entrance in Covent garden, where the carriages are to take up. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. Yesterday morning, at hall-pest eight o'clock, his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by Nutter Fiche and Lord Alfred Faget and suite, left the grand quadrangle of Windsor Cutle for a drive in the royal demesne of Windsor Forest. The Viceroy, with Huber Pasha and Lord Alfred Paget, occupied an open carriage drawn by four bays, the suite following in a shooting break. Both equipages were from the royal mews, and were placed at his highness's disposal by the Queen. The corti-ge was preceded by an outrider in scarlet and gold. His highness and party, who bad previously breakfasted at the Castle, drove through the slopes in the Home park to the royal kennels and dairy, and thence by way of the rhododendron drive to the Norfolk farm and Virginia Water. The weather was beautifully fine, and the Viceroy apparently greatly enjoyed the fine scenery of the forest, and the different views of the Castle. His highness drove back to Windsor by way of the Long-walk, and passed slowly through High-street, the shops and houses in which were gaily decorated with Egyptian and other flags, up the Castle-hill to the Royal mews, through which the Viceroy was shown by Lord Alfred Paget and Mr. Moon. After visiting the mews the Viceroy drove back to the Castle, where luncheon had been laid for half-past eleven o'clock. About one o'clock his highness, after taking leave of the Queen and royal family, quitted the Castle on his return to London. lie drove through Eton College, where lie met with a warm reception from the boys, to the Slough station of ti.. Great Western Railway, where a special train, under the charge of Mr. Higgins, the divisional superintendent of the London district, was waiting. The party left Slough at 1.33, the train arriving at Pad dington at two o'clock. Preparations for the proper recep tion of the Viceroy had been made at this station, a large space upon the arrival platform having been carpeted, as upon the Queen's visits to the metropolis. Round this a large number of people had assembled, while in the road way were two of her Majesty's carriages. His highness, on quitting the train, was receiv.d by Mr. J. Griernin and Mr. F. Saunders. Just before entering the equipage. the Viceroy took leave of Lord Alfred Paget, coraially shaking hands with his lordship. A few minutes after wards his highness left the station for Dudley-house. It will be seen by reference to the Court Circular that the Viceroy dined with the Prince of Wales in the evening. PROPOSED VISIT OP THE SULTAN TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The Lord Chamberlain has intimated to the Crystal Palace Company that the Sultan and the Prince of Wales, with other member. of the Imperial and Royal families, will visit the Crystal Palace on the afternoon of Tuesday next, when there will be a grand operatic concert, a display of the great waterworks, and an erhibi• tion of fireworks with illumination of fountains. It is understood that the august visitors will dine in the Queen's corridor overlooking the gardens, in the interval between the first and second parts of the concert. According to the latest arrangements the Sultan of Turkey will leave Dover after his disembarkation about half•past eleven o'clock on Friday morning for London, where he will arrive early in the afternoon. On Saturday about noon the Sultan will proceed by special train on the Great Western line to Windsor, where he will be received with much military display. A guard of honour is to be present at the station, and the streets from the terminus to the castle will be lined with troops. The Sultan will lunch with the Queen at the castle._ . .

METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND CATTLE TRoUOR ANSOCIATION. — The annual meeting of . this MS ciety was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, Lor d Wham chile in the chair. Owing to the munificent contribution of 1,0001., given by an anonymous friend last year. the society has since the last meeting thrown itself more fully than ever into the work it was formed to accomplish. Large troughs for horses, oxen, and sheep, and small ones for dogs have been erected in districts where they were most required. The erection and maintenance of drinking fountains in the metropolitan thoroughfares has been much increased, but as soon as larger subscriptions come in more will be added. There are now 110 under the care of the association, and each of them is visited, repaired, and cleaned at least twice a week. The annual subscriptions for the year amounted to 5461. , and the ordinary donat'uns to 1,2411. Earl Grosvenor has become the president of the society. The erection of the large fountain in Hyde-park, the cost of which is defrayed by the Maharajah of Vizianagram, is being rapidly pro ceeded with. Amongst the gentlemen present were Sir W. Stirling, the Hon. F. Byng, Sir Manockgee Cursetjee, Mr. S. Gurney, Lc. Dr. Aldis in supporting the resolution to adopt the report, pointed out how important it amain a sanitary point of view to have • free and full supply of water, lie had only a fortnight ago to report to the vestry with which he was connected • fatal ow of cholera, and although, from the lateness of the IMMISM, there was reason to hope that the usual rule of a second year's visitation being lunch worse than the first would not be experienced this year, it was of the highest necessity to take every precaution. The report was unanimously adopted, speeches and motions in support of the society were made, and a vote of thanks to the chairman con eluded the proceedings. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. —The select committee of the House of Commons to whom the bill introduced by Mr. MacEvoy for the repeal of the Ecclesi setical Titles Act was referred, set yesterday.

BRITISH ORPHAN ASICLUDI.—A general court of the governors and subscribers to this institution, formerly situated at Clapham-rise, but now at Mackenzie-park, Slough, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-street, for the election of additi nal inmates, and the distribution of rewards to former pupil,. Mr. T. Tilson, J.P., chairman of the board of director', and ' Colonel Walter Moller, M.P., presided over the election. Fourteen orphans, being two more than on any former oc casion, were elected, namely, eightgirls and six boys, from a hat of 67 candidates, for all of whom, it was stated, there is room in the asylum if the funds were sutticient to permit of their ad mission. At the conclusion of the poll the Lord Mayor was to have taken the chair and distributed the pecuniary rewards to some of the former pupils who attended with satisfactory testimonials from their em ployers, but it wax announced that his lordship was so much occupied with his public duties and with the pre riations necessary fur the reception of the Viceroy of Egypt and the Sultan that he was unable to att e nd, and Colonel Walter Moller, M.P., was therefore called upon to supply his lordship's place. The old pupils were then ad dressed by the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, M.A., who expressed the gratihcation of the committee at finding that the youths who are in City houses or the offices of professional men had given so much satisfaction to their employers. They were equally pleased with the testimonials of the two young persons who had been former inmates, one of whom rs now a nursery governess, and the other a pupil teacher, having passed a successful government exisminetion. The chairman, after distributing the rewards, observed that it could not be too generally known that the committee closely followed up the footsteps of the pupils, after they left the asylmn,with a view to insuring their future success in life. So much did he value this part of the system that he intended to make • special contribution to •he fund available for these annual rewards. A cordial vote of thanks to the scrutineers and chairmen of the day con cluded the proceedings.

Tresnay.—The magisterial examina tion in the came of the pointaman Howson was resumed last evening, and concluded at • late hour. The prisoner was ixsionitted for trial on the change of rnalisletighter, but was admitted to bail in 600/. This morning the in quest upon the bodies of Mr. Thomas Jones, of Wolver hampton, Mr. William Jones, of Bath, and Mrs. Partridge, of Upton Pyne, near Exeter, was resumed before the Lancashire coroner, Mr. Driffield. Mr. Moen, assistant general-mm*l4er of the London and North •Western Rail way Company, was present with other officials during the lay, the company being professionally represented as before by Mr. Roberta, from the office of Mr. lllenkinwsp, London. It may be stated, in explanation of the severe) distinct in -1111111. which are being made into the circurnatan es attending this accident, that it occurred just on the bordris of the counties of Cheater and Lancaster, and while some of the bodies were removed to places within one county, others were carried to places in the other, thus necessitating inquests by two coroners, while the proceedings instituted by the police are, of course, inde prieleit of either. The inquest hated all day, but the evidence given was merely recipitulatery of thus already published, and at the clove • verdict of manslaughter was returned against Rowson. THREATENED RAILWAY OUTRADES.—There has jus. been received by Mr. Bhielnnore , secretary of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, a letter signed " X.X.X.," " certifying" that unless they drop their fares for return tickets on the Preston and Wyre Railway, some of their trains will be dropped down come of the eilibenkinenta, so as to bring the company to a proper understanding. The writer asserts that this can be dorm very easily, as there is a " quantity" of working men forming a union resembling the trades union; and as unions are elm being formed in the Garet/Inc and Leylerel districts, all of which are to he amalgamated for the pur pose of amply pitying persons for every outrage they commit A. series of questions are then asked end auswered with the object of showing that its impossible for working men to pay the present prices of railway fares ; that the company does not receive as much money now as it did before the fares were raised ; that it would be more beneficial to the company to drop the fares than to have some of the excursion trains run 410M0 the em bankments, and be called upon to pay a few thousand pounds dam • ; and that working men are willing to Pay a reasonable fare, but that they will not be trampled underfoot in this matter. The letter containing these diabolical threats seems to have been posted at Poston. RENT OF HOUSES IN ENGLAND.—Thetotal Amount of inhabited house duty assessed in England and Wales on houses and sloops worth above 201. rent, in the year ending the sth of April, 1866, was 987,81 W. Considerably more than half this amount—namely, 552,0831.—was asesl4l-41 Middlesex and the three adjacent counties of Surrey. Kent, and Essex, which are partly metropolitan. Of the 52 counties of England and Wales only 14 were &messed at more than 10,0001. for inhabited house duty, and of these 14 all but five are in the southern part of the kingdom.
