LIPNDON, FRIDAY, JULY 2u. 4 )N• r. OT twice a year, but almost always in the dog-days, a fit of mischief seizes the Chief Com- nuesioner of Works for the time being, and months of harmless idleness are suddenly interrupted by • paroxysm of disastrous activity. Our readers cannot have failed to notice that towards the end of the Session that usually dil.mnaire department wakes up se with an angry start from a painless sleep, and seta all London by the ears. If the department were only content to do nothing with • good grace, and to pocket the affront of public indif ference! For happy is the nation that has no history ; thrice happy is the Commissioner of Works who commits no " improvements." But no ; even the innocently facetious and mildly philosophical Mr. Cowes& must qualify himself for the White bait Dinner by making • mess of something before the Parliamentary summer is out. He must assert his ministerial right to • share of public dissatisfaction. Just as the Cabinet is collapsing under the weight of unfulfilled reforms, Mr. Cowers—for the fun of the thing—fastens the final straw to the poor creature's back. And yet one would sup pose that to a man of elegant mind, liberal taase,acannmodating humour, and kindly disposi tion, the Commiasionership of Works in a country like ours would suggest nothing but oppor tutarties of doing good by stealth. Removed out of the heat and dust of political discussion he has only to pass a few hours a day in doing for the public what an active and intelligent country gentleman does for his own gratification ; a little oneauiental gardening, model farming, fancy archi tectnse, road making, and planting, anal making his "people " comfortable and contented. Nor need he make a single enemy if he will but con sider iiiniself a public servant ; while nothing is easier than to make a multitude of unknown friends. The old Romans, we know, so famous in the department of public works, were obliged at one period to insist on the appointment of a patricissa ; we disniounted Britons, resident in London, shall be obliged to call in a plebeian to keep watch and ward over our footpaths if the amiable but ductile Mr. Cowers persists in sacri ficing us and our little oues to the horseback interest. By what fatality is it that every Com iniasioner of Works leaves his mark on this unfor tunate metropolis, as if the device of the depart ment were "offences must come." How is it that every Commissioner inaugurates his term of office by simply undoing, amidst general applause, what his preelemseor had dune, and next proceeds to do something quite as bad, fur the sake of his suc cessor ! How is it that the department is like the house of the seven spirits, awl that its last state is always worse than the tine I There was one notable exception, it is true, in the memorable reign of Sir BaNJeam.r HstL, whose Chief Com inumumership was an epoch of real beneficence to the• public, and who sucteeded in justifying the teeth of Lis can etituents by his works, though he rode down Marylebone-lane to the House of Lords. since Lon! I.Lisii%lll 9 l4 apotheosis was have bad seething but useless meddling, and petty devastation, anal ltind extravagance ; flower borders torn up, shrubberies rooted out, seats removed, hens rides cite-tele-el, and the Serpinitine ostentatiously d. ilicated to the patron Saint of the Sewers, in whose honour four splendidly decorated open filters are now being erected On spite of the Select Committee), with no end of allegorical sculpture, a fountain, and a cascade. For after all the tier pentane is not to be cleaned out, but flooded ; so duie'rliiilWid is Mr. CovirLa tee get himself, as the philological Herman professor idiomatically phrased it, "into a bad smell." Whether from a feverish anxiety to make a noise, or from a fussy desire to pick a quarrel with the public—whether he has I simply Leen earwigged by good society, or " bitten" by this beauties Of the Heim de Itoulogne--certain it is that Mr. t.!owear is all of a sudden stricken with a morbid and (in a medical sense) a malignant restlessness. His latest exploit is the horse ride into and through Kensington-gardens, which Mr. EowiN Jeers is r.O call the attention of the House this evening. Some people are painfully solicitous about the Member for Mary lehosie's osioti.es for coming forward as the chain plot' of the pedestrian interest and fighting the battle of the housemaids, and they are charitable enough to assume that the leaned member is only firing blank etrtridge. To lit at least the Member for filarylebout's motives are of infinitely little consequence: ; but sir SENJ•IIIN 11•LL'S suc cessor in that borough has certainly a traditional claim to be heard on such a onestien. We could wish, however, that Mr. JAlitil had not taken the precaution to rest his case on the weakest possible grounds. The width of the horse ode —sir many feet more or less—is an objection worthy only of Mr. Collates's advocates and approvers ; it is de cidedly not ours. Nur is the danger of crossing the most serious objection, or Mr. Cowers might take it easy this evening. But the real citric, admits of no palliative. The pleas of the apologists, however, are sufficiently ridiculous to refute themselves. We are gravely told that be cause the young trees in Rotten-row r ia tying,the Equestrian Order must take the of the old trees in the Gardens instead ;—that pedes trians are excluded from a narrow strip only at the extreme north-west margin of the Gardens;— l that the horse ride is cut acmes the two least , frequented sides of the square which the Gardens occupy. Now these are precisely our grounds of resistance to the wanton innovation. The Eques trian Order is not supposed to frequent the Park for the sake of the cool shade of trees ; and " the "narrow strip " cuts across the one quiet and secluded spot which is left to the poor and the sick, to women and children—to all but the four or five hundred select people who use the Park during four or five months of the year. The new horse ride is not confined to any extreme margin, it cuts right across the Gardens from Kensington to Bayswater. It must not be forgotten that the Equestrian Order peculiar to Rotten-row consists, in a great mea sure, of visitors for the season, who have their own estates to ride over all the rest of the year, while the pedestrian order consists in a great mea sure of London residents, who never get a glimpse of frees or grass for ten months out of twelve ex cept in the Parks. It will hardly be pretended that Rotten-row, with the green sward on the Kensington side, is not a liberal allowance for the mounted four hundred ; and if they want more room, have they not all the world before them where to choose, whether Hampstead, or Harrow, or Highgate, or Richmond 1 We have no desire or need to be guilty of snag , geration ; we cherish Rotten-row as a splendid English institution : but there's room for all. This may not be a " gigantic innovation," but it is just one of those innovations which in quiet political times are most acutely felt, and most bitterly resented, by the large public who take little or no thought of politics. Who would have imagined that the Volunteer review was to supply materials for such an experiment 1 Let us hope that it is an experiment only, and that Mr. COWPER will be good enough to own that it has failed.

(71011 001 owl onazaroarourr.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENT/W. The Prase states in a P.S. that the Sultan's letter will not prevent the sending of a French expedition to Syria in concert with the other powers, and with out any opposition from the Porte, and all the go vernment journals continue in very strong language to urge the necessity of intervention without lees of time. I have, however, reason to believe that these papers are travelling much faster than diplo macy, and that although the French government desires to land troops in Syria, and is making ready to do so, it has as yet taken no final resolution on the subject, and that negotiations with other powers, and particularly with England, are still going on. Oue can hardly doubt that the object of the Sultan's letter to the Emperor, inserted in the Moniteur, was to deprecate intervention, and to undertake that the Turkish government would itself take all necessary measures to prevent fur ther massacres and to inflict condign punishment for those which unfortunately have already taken place. The Pays contradicta itself this evening in a very remarkable manner about the affairs of Naples. In its leading column it admits that the news is not of " a nature to presage a happy or prompt solution of difficulties," and that both the army and navy are disaffected, but in its "latest news" it affirms that there is not the "least foundation " for the report that the Neapolitan navy is hostile to the king, and in support of this proposition it relies upon the telegram stating that the king has made the naval officers renew their oath of allegiance. The Bourse was very dull, and without any marked feature. The Rente rose be. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 75c. and 68fr. 70c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. The railway receipts for the week being good, so far as known, some of the lints improved from 2fr. 50c. to Mr. General Frossard, of the engineers, one of the Emperor's aides-de-camp, and Admiral Bottet Willautnez, have been sent to Nice to make sur veys with a view to new defences of the place by sea and land. The Times, Daily News, Herald, Standard, and Sea were seized this morning, and up to 5 o'clock this afternoon all the seizures had been maintained, au that they are probably definitive. Some very curious litigation ou the subject of the French press laws is likely to take place under the following circumstances :—At the end of last year the Cuurrier de Paris was sold to M. Leymarie, au eminent journalist of long standing and con servative opinions. M. Billault, availing himself fur the first time of an article of the organic laws of the empire, which prohibits the transmission of newspaper property without the consent of govern ment, refused to acknowledge M. Leymarie as the pmprietor of the journal, alleging as the main reason for his refusal that M. Leymarie was backed by Count d'llaussonville and other wealthy and able men, whose opposition would be all the more "embarrassing," because it would be legal and moderate. M. Leymarie has published a highly interesting account of the transaction in a long pamphlet just out. M. Emile 011ivier alluded to the affair in the Corps Lugislatif a few days ago, and M. Baroche, replying to him, said that no minister would be so stupid as to say— what, it appears, M. Billault actually did say. M. Leymarie has written to all the journals' that re produced the Monitertr's report of M. Etaroche's speech, requiring them in the name of the law, which gives citizens a right to call for a contradic tion of any statement affecting their personal character, to insert his affirmation that the words which M. Baroche charges him with having falsely reported were really uttered by M. Billault. The Minister of the Interior, exercising his sum mary jurisdiction over the preen, has issued orders that M. Leyinarie's requisition shall not be com plied with. M. Leymarie intends to prosecute the papers for non-compliance, and thus bring out the whole matter in a court of law. Thus the ease stands for the present. The Acadgmie Franesise, on the motion of M. de Pougerville, has proposed the " Isthmus of Suez" as the subject of the prize poem for next year. This lift for M. de Lesseps' speculation in sated° is hailed by the government journals as a grand mural support to the most magnificent un dertaking of the nineteenth century. M. Juke Fevre has gone to Bordeaux to plead for the (iirotide, the moat important journal of that city, against a government prosecution. ITALY. SARDINIA. (MX OUR OWN 00ILLTAPONDINT.) TURIN, JULY 16. . . After long deliberation whether any one should be sent or not to Garibaldi, some one who would not give the Mau:mists a handle for abusing Gari baldi's good faith—as La Farina so imprudently did—the advocate and deputy Depretis, who is slightly tinctured with radicalism, and who enjoys Garibaldi's confidence, has beau finally selected. Depretis voted, against the annexation of Nice, an act that will recouuneud him to the general, who cannot bear that annexation, and in consequence of it became estranged from Count Cavour • but not to such au extent as to induce him throug h re seutumut to ruin the cause of Italy. On the other aide, Count Cavour oompassionates the general's ire, kuowiug that this brave soldier does not form a true estimate of political necessities, but fancies that everything can be accomplished by the sword. The count, therefore, bout had no difficulty bi ap proving the departure and mission of Depretis, who embarks this day at Genoa. Many persons will be in the satire vessel bound fur the same quarter. It is certain that if the selection of this individual gives satisfaction to the ultras, it does not do so to. others, who, lees tolerant than Cavour, are not fund of seeing power conferred on any members of the opposition. If Depretis liu accepted the mission in question, he will forget the part he has been hitherto playing, it is to be hoped, and only remember that he is now in the service of the state, that he has accepted its duties and engaged himself to the obligation of reconciling men's winds, and promuting Italian unity under the sceptre of the wont loyal of kings. It would be disgraceful indeed if he ware to act perfidiously towards one of the few loyal kluge that Italy has ever known, and who at the same time is both • warrior and a reformer. _ . _ At the meant oomplementary elections in Sar dinia, an obscure town hag returned Signor Bret ferio, the rejected candidate in 22 electoral colleges, VISIT OP ESE MAJESTY TO THE EXPLORING YACHT POI. SOUTHAMPTON, TIII:11§DAT. This morning her Majesty, accompanied by the Priam Consort mad the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louise, paid a visit of inspection to the steam-yacht Fox, previous to her departure on the surveying expedition to Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador, for determining the practicability of a telegraphic line from Eagland to the United States rid those places.

FRENCH INTERVENTION IN SYRIA. The Moniteur of to-day publishes the following : "In presence of the deplorable events of which Syria is the theatre, and which have caused deep emotion throughout Europe, the government of the Emperor has deemed it its duty to commu nicate its views without delay to the cabinets of the other great powers, and to the Porte, in order to concert the measures wliich circumstances demand." A Paris letter iu the Journal de Rouen contains the following intelligence, but the number of troops mentioned seems greatly exaggerated : The despatch of Captain de la Roncihn le Noury, of which the Mosleeur has given an analysis, describes the situation of Syria as so very serious that a report has been drawn up in the War Department, proposing to send out to that country an expedition of 25,000 men—a large number, it is true, but considered necessary on account of the moult- Miaow state of the country, which is not unlike Great Kabylia. The Emperor at first expressed the desire that rely 12,000 men should be sent, and it was intended to Aloe them under the command of General Trochu. But if 26,000 men be despatched, • marshal--probably Neil or Matllithon—will have the command. It is mid that the regiments to be taken have been designated, and that the greater part of them are to be chosen from the army of Africa. We are assured these measures are adopted in accord with the guaranteeing powers, and that the repre sentatives of England, Russia, Prussia, and Austria were duly informed of the Emperor's intentions. The Ottoman government is also aware of the preparations that are being I made ; but they have no political character, and are only intended to bring about the pacification of a country which has been so often stained with blood. The imperial transport Moselle left Toulon on Wednesday, for Beyrout, with provisions and stores fur the succour of the Christians in Syria. Another vessel is fitting out with a similar destina tion. PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 20. It is stated that the Sultan has despatched to her Majesty Queen Victoria a letter similar to that addressed to the Emperor of the French. TOULON, FAIDAT, Jun' 20.

Romdm no one being inclined to send him as a representa tive to parliament He has now at last been elected, through the influent* of a friend, in a place where not a soul knew him. There were many reasons for the unpopularity of this glib but shallow public speaker ; but the chief reason was the hostility he displayed last year against Cavour in order to serve Rattazzi. In the chamber he never had the least weight, and his absence last session was felt by all to be a relief. Signor Manna, the minister of the King of Naples, and Baron Winspeare, ambassadors ex traordinary to our government, arrived here at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Signor Cturofari was waiting for them at the railway station, they got into his carriage and were driven to the Europa. Who represents the King of Naples, Manua or Canofari ? Just as with you, Count Ludolf or the Marquis La Grecs. Will they be spies on each other or trust each other 1 Which of the two will be the dupe 1 Time will show ; and, frankly speaking, I hope both will be dupes. The King of Naples ought by this time to have neither ministers nor ambassadors ; he ought, like other Bourbons, to be on his tray e, and not death, being the punishment that civilised society now humanely wishes to see inflicted upon tyrants. ENGLISH, SCOTTISH, AND AUSTRALIAN CHARTERED BANK.-(THIS DAY.) The fourteenth ordinary meeting of this bank took place this clay at the aloe; Cornhill ; Mr. S. P. KEY• LIMO in the chair.

It will be observed that there is a falling off in the profits of the past as compared with the previous half. year,which has been caused partly hr the adverse state of the exchanges, but cilia). IV the course which the colonial managers have thought it most desirable to adopt during a period of severe coinruercial depression, by endeavouring to limit their transactions to those of the safest character, rather than seeking to extend operations at a time when more than ordinary risks would be incurred. The result of this policy is so far satisfactory, that the amount of loss sustained by the bank, through the re cent disasters in Australia, has been unimportant. The directors recommend that the balance of 14,654/. 4s. ld. be appropriated as follows, viz.:— To the payment of a dividend at the rote of 5 per cent. per &Daum free of income-tax, on 500,0001., the paid-up capital of the liank, 12,5001.

The (Mantuan, in moving the adoption of the report, observed that, owing to the depression which had been felt in the colony during the last six months, they had done less business, and their profits had been proportionately leas. It was better, however, under all circum stances that they should measure success by disasters avoided rather than by business done. They would, moreover, see that the directors were enabled to recommend the same amount at dividend as at the last meeting, after making the usual allowances to meet every change. He trusted that, with the revival of con fidence, and having their own resources about them, they would he in a position to avail themselves of the improved state of things. They ruffed bear in mind that, as regarded dividend, this was nut the only bank where the result was mot so satisfactory as it might be, and moreover lie should tell them that the bad accounts they had received were of a reassuring character. He had therefore little doubt that after the temporary check they had experienced, they should /10011 be able to make more complete progress, and to declare a letter dividend thou they had yet dour. He moved that the report be adopted, and the dividend, as recommended therein, be payable on and after the 30th instant. Mr. Mettetisu inquired whether any thing had been done towards auerringement of the debt amounting to 11,0004 claimed from the Royal Mail Steam Company. Mr. BORRODAILg a director, said they could out tell the proprietors at present when the case would be adjudicated ; but he thought he might say it would not conic before the court until the early part of the ensuing spring. In the meantime the examination of witnesses was going on. The report was then adopted, and the meeting separated. ME. W.
