LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8. Tin SPIECH from the foot of the Throne with which Ministers have obtained permission to close the legislative year of 1862, reads like an inge nious attempt to give historic substance to the shadow of a Session. DULCAMARA and PANOLO&S are delighted with the retrospect; for, according to the newest doctrine, the perfection of a Parlia ment is • Parliament that sits six months and does nothing. What if nothing has been done to modify the gross and glaring inequalities of the income tax T Lord PaLetsiorrox re joices that an Act has been passed under which two Irish pints will henceforth and for ever be equal to one Imperial quart. All the main features of the scheme of Educational Re form with which the country was agitated through out the whole of last recess have been abandoned in deference to the Minister's Tory supporters; but then his Liberal adherents are amused with the tune on the old drum about the general advan-1 tages of promoting an object of so much national importance. Reform of county expenditure and county rates has not even been broached during the Session ; but there has been a nibble at the great network of abuse connected with the neglect to repair highways, in consequence of which twenty millions of people are gravely assured that they will be certain to see more of one another ere long. The great staple of manufacturing industry has for many months been paralysed ; tens of thousands of in dustrious citizens have been brought to the verge of want ; and hundreds of thousands may, ere an other Session comes, be reduced to urgent need, through the indirect' effect of what cannot be truly described as leas than a national calamity. Yet until within the last ten days our easy-going Government and Legislature could not find time to think of so vulgar a matter; and when they did pretend to provide for the sorest and most im perative need of a too forbearing people, they could hit upon nothing better, in their haste to be off to the moors, than to give the localities con tiguous in distress the miserable alternative of taxing each other mutually, or of mortgaging their heavily burdened resources, each one for its own necessities. Of • truth it may be said of Mr. Arnmass's Bill, in the words of Arch biihop WHAM; that it was to " offer a hungry " dog a piece of his own tail." No question touching religious liberty in any shape has been stirred since February. The redundant wrong of the Church establishment in Ireland, which Lord Pautzasron and most of his colleagues have again and again declared to be insufferable, has remained untouched ; and Church-rates on this side of the Channel continue to be levied in cer tain parishes, and successfully resisted in others, to the infinite scandal of religion, and no small injury to social peace. But the Carlton Club rejoices that its will is paramount in the Cabinet ; and lest there should be any doubt among the uninitiated as to what influences uppermost in the Administration, Mr. DIBIUALT has taken a recent opportunity of congra tulating the party of reaction that the principle, of Church ascendancy has once more been acknow ledged by a majority in Parliament. In the Ministerial parade of measures two are carefully forgotten—the Corrupt Practices Act and the Night Poaching Bill. Session after session we were told that a new and comprehensive measure would be introduced to cut down the overgrowth of venality and violence at elections, and year after year the pompous promise was evaded on one flimsy pretence or another. At last the skeleton of a remedial law was laid upon the table, and there it was suffered to lie week after week without the semblance of an attempt to supply the absence of any real self-moving or self sustaining principle of action, by the substitution of some mechanical process. There it lay till the eve of prorogation drew nigh--a seat-purchasing House of Commons desiring nothing better than to see it treated with lazy neglect by those who had loosely put it together. Their honest instincts told them that from it no obstruction to the repe tition of mal-practices at elections could prac tically come, and that it would furnish a con venient excuse for not adopting something better next year. So without modification or discussion this egregious sham has been added to the Statute book of 1862. Of the Poaching Bill It is only news saryto remark, that it could never lavaboes carried had not the Parise MiNtrrns preferred to !gratify his staunch supporters in opposition, rather than to listen to the rem:mere:nee of his &bombed 00l- leagues and despised adherents on the Government ad% and that when charged with having defaulted, he • replied only by laughing in the Noe of his supporta% and asking whether he should not have been • fool for his pains had be stayed out of his bed to do his duty.

Adherence to strict neutrality between North and South in the civil war is, however, again solemnly reiterated, and in the face of such a declaration we presume the hardiest intriguer on behalf of the proposed Slave Republic will scarcely venture to resume his importunities for recogni tion or intervention. We are, it appears, at war with one-half the people of China, and in alliance offensive and defensive with the other. Throughout the Session the fact of our having a fourth Chins war upon our hands was always gravely denied by Lord Patocaturrow. But it would seem that when ever an air of gravity is put on by the merry Primus, it is only to give a more pungent con treat to the fun that is sure to follow ; and accord ingly the Session is not allowed to close without a loud laugh at the credulityof those poor hard-driven hacks who o up to the day before yesterday, did think beet to believe that all the exploits of our soldiers and sailors in China were acts of peace, and non-interference. The broadest joke of all is the sentence in which, after thanking the Com mons for their lavish grants of money for " indis " pensable works of national defence" against powerful continental allies, the representatives of the affrighted nation are coolly told thpt our Go vernment is on the best terms with every other in Christendom, and that there does not appear the slightest reason to apprehend that the general peace will be disturbed.

CONSRORATION OF ST. MARE'S CHURCH, VICTORIA DOCA.B.—Yesterday morning the Bishop of London °owe tested s vet 7 handsome church, which has bees Greeted for the seoceuroodatiou of a huge district scijaeeet to the Vie- Paris Docks, the population - of which his become brown pretty generally to the public under the name of " Loo donere over the Border." The district, which has rapidly grown into a large town, was some years ago without spiritual provision of any kind, but a committee, consist. mg Of Sir Morton Peto, ILP., Mr. W. Oowper, M.P., sod other gestkonen, was formed, and a sort of minimum" agency was established under the direction of the Rev. Herman Douglas, M.A. At first an iron church was erected and schools established, and the desire to profit by both was so manifest that it was felt desirable that widi. lima bußdiep should be erected, and a school church was built at • scat of 2,5001,, which was entirely defrayed by Mr. Morrison, one of the directors of the Victoria !bets. Mr. Donates having made an appeal to the public for beds to relieve the Opted destitution of his district, so vest se wawa t Sewed in that be determieed upon the erection of a handsome church, sod the establishment of glove factories, weed-cote* depose, and other ledastrial socialise, all of . which have been eminently ineemenik although, he says, his glove factory has been of lath nemr what crippled by Mr. Glaciateee's tariff sod the American war. The church, built from the designs of Mr. Temkin, has cost 7,0001., and after the bishop's sermon yesterday • . collection was made towards the discharge of an outsterel lug debt of 5001. The Victoria Dock Company gave the site and three or four acres of ground for parsonage. schools, and "amend church purposes. It is a matter of regret that the health of Mr. Douglas has been so much impaired by his great exertions in this formerly almost heathen pariah, that, having succeeded in erecting the church, and putting everything in working. order, he has placed his resignation of the incumbency in the bands of the 'Wallin THE VACANT BISHOPRIC IN CENTRAL AFRICA.- Much anxiety has been felt is reference to filling up the missionary bishopric in Central Africa, which war l=dy rendered vacant by the death of the Rev.

To-day, after the Marquis Wielopolski had quitted hie carriage, and was about to ascend the great staircase of the palace in which the Financial Commission holds its sittings, a pistol was fired at him. The perpetrator was seized, but his name is un known. The marquis has not been injured. ITALY. TURIN, Auourrr 7. The Discussion of to-day says :—" Up to the pre sent moment Garibaldi refuses to yield to the King, declaring, however, at the same time, that he will not tight against Italian*. " The royal troops follow him at a little distance, avoiding a collision. " thuibaldi's object seems to be to reach some part of the coast, and to embark there." The rumours of a project being on foot for a demonstration at Rome gain consistence. FRANCE PARIS, Ammer & The Moniteur of this morning lays :—" On the Me-day of the Emperor his Majesty will review the troops of the army of Paris and the Garde Nationale. "In the morning their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will receive the foreign ambassadors, the presidents of the great bodies of the state, and the marshals and admirals of France." CAPTURE OF FURRAH BY DOST MAHOMED. OONSTANTLVOPLI, A.oeurr 7. Intelligence received here from Teheran by tele graph via Bagdad states that Doet Mahomed cap tured Furrah upon the Gth of July. He left a garrison in that city and marched upon Herat, which has received reinforcements. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OUR OWN PARIS. THURSDAY ESTRIN°. The Emperor prolongs his stay at Vichy for two days, and is not expected at St. Cloud till Saturday evening. The statement in the " Latest News" of the Opinion Nationale that he will arrive at 5 o'clock this evening is incorrect. The Marquis Pepoli (a relation of the Emperor), Italian Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, is expected shortly in Paris, and will afterwards, it is said, go to London. The Mexican General Miramon has made but a very short stay iu France. A letter from Havre states that, in consequence of despatches which he found awaiting him in Paris, he has left for' Mexico on board the packet Southampton. A letter from Rome, of August 2, says that the French military authorities there seriously believed in the probability of an attack by Garibaldi and had made serious preparations to meet it. They are described as being very much in the dark as to the force at Garibaldi's disposal, but they bad reason to believe that the first attempt would be made by a corps of 3,000 Garibaldians from Naples, who would sail urdor American colours, and the French vessels Descartes and Gomer had received orders to look out for and "sink them!" It was thought that Garibaldi had several ships under his orders. While France and Minis have been flattering themselves that they had settled a great question by repairing the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem at their common charges, Cardinal Antonelli has sent a despatch to Constantinople, claiming that not France or Russia, but the Pope alone, has a right to touch the holy places. There being nothing new about Garibaldi's movements the Bourse remains tolerably firm. Rents fell 10c. for cseh and sc. for amount, closing at 68fr. 95c., and 691 r. Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. In railways there was scarcely any change. A singular circumstance occurred at a trial for murder at the Assize Court of the Var on July 28. A servant named Therese Marcel was convicted on the most conclusive evidence, supported by her own confession, of having poisoned her master. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and said nothing about extenuating circumstanoes. Sen tence of death therefore followed as • matter of course, and the presiding judge was about to pass it, when he perceived that the verdict was not signed by the foreman, and he, therefore, told the jury to retire to remedy the omission. The verdict was returned a second time—still without extenuating circumstances. But the judge found that there was another irregu larity in the form of the verdict, and sent the jury back once more. It was then suggested by a jury man that the finger of Providence was plainly dis cernible in the miscarriage of their verdict so long as it entailed the punishment of death, and there upon they agreed to give the prisoner the benefit of extenuating circumstances. She was accordingly sentenced to hard labour for life. A number of merchants and tradesmen at Lyons have been fined in sums varying from 50fr. to 250 fr., for receiving letters from their corres pondents sewn up in bales of goody to the preju dice of the poet-office monopoly. I always think that such prosecutions as these, whether here or in England, are most oppressive and barbarous. It is difficult to conceive a more undoubted natural right than that of sending a communication to a friend by a private messenger. The best security for the post-offioe monopoly is the convenience it affords to the public. It would be easy to frame enactments against companies or individuals who should attempt to carry on systematically the trade of delivering letters ; but the public should be free to send letters in the manner that best suite them. An extraordinary sensation has been occasioned in the quiet town of Luxembourg, by the slaying of BE Boner, a receiver of the octroi, who, while going to his office at the unusually early hour of four in the morning, was shot dead by a Prussian sentry who attempted to stop him from pealing over a bridge, and alleged that he raised his stick to strike him. A numerously-signed petition has been presented to the King of Holland, praying that better guarantees may be given to protect citizens against the conduct of the federal garrison which Luxembourg is obliged to support. The funeral of K Bauer was solemnised with great pomp at the expense of the city. "An important modification," says the Caught 'Kennel, " will be made, on the 16th, in the Munk nation of the Place de la Concorde and the Ciampi Btrifes. Instead of the coloured oil lamps hitherto ;used, the municipal administration has determined leasable trial of a new mode of gas illumination. In the Place de la Concorde, the nasal gas lamps • •will be replaCed by bouquets formed of nerlisbed . glare globes. The vases of the fountains . wur also AUGUST 8 2 t•IL be • eurroundoi with Se lights. The nitniber of item globes of fire on the Place will be about 4,000. Rem of similar globes will run fled one lamp-post to the other all up the Champs Elyaies. At short intervals there will be trophies decked with flags and lighted with gas, representing the Emperor's monogram and the imperial eagle. The fountain at the Road Point will be splendidly illu minated with gas, and the circuit round it will pre sent eight arcades tastefully ornamented and bril liantly lighted. The total number of lights will not be less than 122,000." ITALY. A letter from Naples, of the 2nd of August, says : The garrisons of Naples and Sicily have each been aug mented by a division of soldiers, in order that they may not be taken unprepared. An exchange of shots took place between the Italian troops and the Pontifical Zouaves as the latter were retiring from Alatri, on the frontier. Seve ral Hungarians of the legion Nooera have revolted, and shut themselves up in the fort of Carmine, insisting upon joining Garibaldi. General Turr, who was expected in Naples on Thursday, is the bearer of a decree depriving the Hun prism who shall have abandoned their flag of all right to a subsidy in future. It is expected that General Tarr will induce the mutineers to return to their duty. Colonel Ihaesr, who has not displayed much tact under the circum stances, has been replaced by Colonel Felkessy. The muni cipal guard of Naples, which is in promo of formation, has shown a desire to join Garibaldi. Captain Frojo and several of this guard have, it is said, already left for Palermo. There arrived yesterday 120 volunteers from Leg horn in the &Tawniest, but the questor of police not allow ing them to land, they pro ceeded to Palermo. The Northern Bee of August 2 says that, if the Italian statesmen know how to direct affairs, Italy may play a grand part in the events which are tak ing place amongst the Belays,. The interests of St. Petersburg and of Turin are identical in this matter, for the freedom of the southern Sclavee from Mussulman domination is quite as important to Italy as to Russia. The red cross of the house of Savoy can never be a dangerous rival to the blue cross of St. Andrew. On the contrary, it may prove a useful and powerful auxiliary for the de fence and protection of the interests of the Sclaves 'on the Black and Adriatic teas. THE EASTERN QIIRSTION. AUGUST 6. Lettere from Constantinople of the 30th July announce that the third conference on the affairs of Servia was to take place the next day. A rumour prevailed that at the preceding conference the deci sion bad been come to that the Turks should evacuate all the fortified points is Servia, with the exception of the fortress of Belgrade, the occupation of which was to be subjected to new conditions, of a nature to guarantee the autonomy of Berrie. Letters from this last-named country speak of great agitation prevailing there, and numerous enrol ments. It was said that the Bosnian had con cluded a treaty with the Servians. Both popula tions were deeply irritated at Austria supporting Turkey. Advicee from Asia state that the fanatics of Broussa had burnt down a factory. The Sultan had sent orders for a severe repression. MONTENEGRO. RAGUSA, Auover 6. The Turks have retired to Sabjlack during the negotiations. During Sunday and Monday sanguinary battles were fought. Klodosch and Vulatch have con centrated their forces at Rieke. The Montenegrins are making desperate efforts to repel the invasion of the Turks. pipAy EvENi. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES. Accosr 7. It appears now to be decided that there will be no race under the auspices of the squadron this week, and that the year 1862, so memorable in many respects, will be marked by a hiatus in the long list of cm:tests for aquatic fame w►ich bare taken place since the establishment of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The public and the numerous mis guided visitors here are still eagerly ioquiriog the reason why they have been so much disappointed,; sod although mazy explanations of the real reason are correct, there is the best authority fee saying that the word " misapprehen sion" used yesterday explains the whole mystery. About three mouths it was understood from high quarters that her Majesty had expressed certain wishes on the subject of the squadron regatta and the town aquatic festival, and on the supposition that the Queen's Cup would be forth- coming the usual announcements were made; but it wee only on an application being made in the usual manner by the ►oe. stiormary to the committee of the town regatta that the mistake was discovered, and that there was no ietention that the squadron at tows regatta should take ' plan. Hops, however, cheers the luckier yachtsmen and admirers of scientific sailing, and the year 1863 is looked forward to as • year of revival, when it is ardently hoped that an illustrious successor may be found to succeed the late Prioce Consort as patron of the Royal Yacht Squadron, that the two royal cups may be then forth- coming, and that these, combined with prizes offered by the squadron, will have the effect of drawing hither so large • Oast of yachts, sad of claming so much of honourable emulation between their owners, that the enema of the festival may cause all the unpleasantness which has arisen this year to be forgotten. It is understood that the race between the Sultana and the Albertine, brought to an untimely conclusion yesterday by the ma falling overboard, will ire resumed as ems as the split foresail of the latter Tweet has been repaired. There is • great gale of wiled here today from W.S. W., and a strong ma is ruseiag in the Solent, while outside the waves are strong enough to smother any small craft that may be found •here. No yachts are in consequence under weigh, and the whole Beet are lying at their moorings in the roads with topmasts struck, and all made as snug as possible, while the " unlucky folks on shore" are blessing their stars that they are not expand to the drenching showers which are falling at intend& SOON of the Cheshire Rine Volunteers had a narrow escape yesterday ci thend of fie Amosiation.

The system of organised "excursions," or rather, perhaps, we should say, of excursions, to the Great ftlibition, may now be said to be in full swing, as the!ollowing formidable list of schools and parties for yesterday will testify :-45 scholars from Ling field (Surrey) National School, expenses paid by subscription • 50 scholars from Tunbridge Wells National Sc hool, ditto ; 36 scholars from Bir stead (Kent) National School, ditto ; 66 scholars from All Saints School, Clapham-park, by the Rev.

Of the above, the most remarkable were the party of Messrs. Marley, Strachan, and Co.'s work mt.from Strood, and a similar party from Denham Brothers, Bristol. The first num bered nearly 1,000, and the second 700, and in both seers all expenses, refreshments included, were mind liberally paid by the employers. Messrs. Derham's people brought their own band, which played in the building, and departed to its in spiriting strains in the evening. In both cases a journey of 200 miles (to and fro) had to be per formai in order to see the Exhibition. The venous railways could bring up about 50,000 each morning, and it is to be hoped that the employers of labour will follow the example of the two firms above mentioned, and give them all full employment. The highest temperature during the day, as registered by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometeas, was the nave, 62.2 deg. ; in the galleries, 62.2 deg. the reading taken at 3 p.m. The following were the total numbers admitted on Thursday, compared with the corresponding day in 1851; 19dt {Reason tickets Thursday, August 7 tkkets Payrusukaadday ticket& 48,790 Toga 13.911 1851.

Masanielto was revived here last night, after an interval of eight years, being its first performs*, in the new theatre. The opera has been some time in preparation, and was produced with great splendour of scenery, draws, and appointments, and that elaboration of detail in stage accessories which, combined with the excellence of the solo, choral. and orehestral artists, reedy. the performances at this house unequalled in their general aompletemen. Anber's La Mnette de Partici, originally produced at Paris in 1828, confirmed and enhanced the reputation ' which its composer b►d previously acquired by his La Neige, Le Macon, and other works, in the style of the opera Comiqus. La Muette was Anbees first grand opera—here be had to deal with widow and emotions of a far deeper order than them of the light comedy which be had hitherto illustrated; and although it can scarcely be said that he always rises to the perfect expression of an elevated or tragic senti ment, yet it must be admitted th►t this opera, as a whole, is • brilliant combination of picturesque effects, varied contrasts, local colour, and original melody, such ae only • genius of a very high order could have attained. La Mune de Partici produced an effect on European music smiler to that which followed the appearance of Rossini's raneredi in 1813—each work having proclaimed the advent of a master genius in its respective school and nation. It is mid that Mozart, when he composed his Saul erflote. declared his intention to produce an opera containing such elements of popularity that its airs should be ground on every street organ. Whether or so Aubr contemplated the same result far La Markle, that result certainly followed. Every qessiter of the Milized world has resounded with the melodies of this beautiful opera. Yet, hackneyed as they are, the Bar carolle, the Fisherman's Chorus, the Market Chorus, and the various pieces of ballet-music, still wand as fresh aa ever. Never has Maaaniello been so magnificently presented u on its revival last night at the Royal Italian Ours ; every resource of the establishment wee called into requisition, and the result was a display of excellence, both musical sad spectaculat, equalling, if not surpassing, any previous effort of the kind. Signor Mario, as Masaniallo, was an admirable represen tative of the fisherman king, acting with alternate energy and pathos, and slaving as only Mario ean sing. The well known barcarolle was given with exquisite grace and fiat* but would have been all the better if taken somewhat fader. The slumber song, a masterly piece of cantabile singing, wee remarkable as • specimen of purity of style and perfect vocalisatioe. Throughout the opera, indeed, Mario's perform ance was of the highest order of vocal and dramatic excel lents. Mdlle. Salrioni, the celebrated danseuse, was the Falls, and by her expressive pantomime forcibly portrayed the wrongs and sufferiegs of the betrayed dumb girl. Other subordinate parts were filled by M dile. Anew, and Signori Yolouini, Rossi, sad Faller. The brilliancy of Atibees instrumentation was heard to perfection as rendered by the magnificent orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera. The overture was played with an alternation of force and delicacy, a vigour and animation, that roused the audience to positive enthuaiesm, and it was encored by acclamation. The iocidental dances by Madlle. Eerier, Madlle. Billet, and M. Desplaces were worthy of the other accessories; and, when we add that the dresses sod appointments were in the beet taste, we have chronicled the °lief features of one of the most splendid revivals of recent 81110301.
