ROEBUCK ON ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. Yesterday afternoon his Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, accompanied by his illustrious Archduchies, who is a daughter of the King of the Belgians, arrived at Southampton by special train at half-past one o'clock, for the purpose of isspecting the docks and ascertaining the facilities of the port, with • view to its selection as the terminus of the line of steam pockets projected to run between Austria and England. Their Im perial Highnesses were received with much enthusiasm ; the principal streets of the town were gaily decorated with flags, the bells were rung, and • salute of 21 guns was tired from the platform battery. At the railway terminus their impe rial highnesses were met by the mayor and corporation, the resident naval officers in the town, the principal commercial men connected with the port, and others. The mayor (Mr. Alderman Coles), having welcomed the Archduke and Archduchess, Mr. C. E. Deacon, the town clerk, read the subjoined address, which was elegantly inscribed on vellum in illumi nated writing : "To Hi Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, Lord High Admiral, Ire. " We, the mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the ancient borough of Southampton, in common commit assembled, having observed with much gratification that your Imperial Highness is on a v Ito oar moat gracious geese and her Missertees Consort, accompanied by $ distinguished relative of our beloved Sovereign, the meet amiable and exalted Princess the Archduchess of the Imperial House of Austria, desire most cordially and maps:dully to welcome you to the shores of this kingdom and to express the great satisfaction which your recent arrival at Southampton has afforded. " As a commercial town and port we look with great in terest to the prospects of largely increasing the intercourse with continental uations by the influence of that commer cial treaty which the government, the legislature and reof this country have so grisly adopted, and looking vast empire of Austria and its immense productions, together with its extensive and industrious population, we sincerely trust to see large and profitable exchanges of productions nod manufactures for the permanent benefit of both countries awl people in the prosperity of which we know our most gracious queen to be deeply interested, and our sovereign s faithful ally, the Emperor of Austria, to have earnestly at heart. ' "We rejoice on this as upon all occasions, when the reunion of the members of our beloved sovereign's family gist.' her Majesty the opportunity of those interchanges of affection and proofs a dornestie ha for which the court is so eminently distingished, and earnestly trust that the visit of your Imperial High ness and the .trchilucheas may be full of satisfaction and happineNa to yourselves. We cordially desire that this country may again be honoured with so distin guished a visit, and that you will receive the assurances of our fervent respect, as well as our hope and desire for long and peaceful, and permanent commercial relations with Austria, her illustrious and imperial sovereign, and great and thriving people. "Given under our common seal at Southampton, the 10th day of August, in the year of our Lord DOH." The Archduke MAXIMILIAN, whose pronunciation was ex cellent, replied in the following terms :—" I thank you cordially for the flattering words in which you have been pleased to address me ; but above all I thank you for the way in which you have welcomed me, associating me as you have done with your own beloved and honoured queen. It has indeed been a source of boundless gratification to the archduchess and to myself to feel that close ties of Isla tioaship unite us to a sovereign more exalted even by her own private virtues than by the almost unexampled great ness of the nation over whom she reigns. I rejoice, too, that in me you should do honour to that noble profession to which England owes so much of her glory. lam proud, very proud, of being a sailor, and the object of my utmost ambition and constant efforts will be to contribute as much as in me lies tithe advancement and prosperity of the Austrian navy. My country is now a constitutional one like your owe ; and as it is full of apti tudes for freedoru—(cheers)—end aa it in many respects re sembles England more than any other European bind, I live in the conviction that each day will see stronger sympathies spring up between Great Britaio and Austria ; and that, therefore, the two empires will be politically and commer cially drawn towards each other. It is always with the most heartfelt delight that I revisit England, for no one admires more sincerely than I do her greatness and its causes—(cheers)—and nothing could afford me more genuine satisfaction than the warm greeting which I have this day received from the representatives of so important • commu nity as Southampton. (Loud cheers.) The illustrious visitors then entered a carriage, mom. ponied by the Mayor and Colonel Barlow, and drawn by four greys, and were drives round the docks. Other carriages contained Count Apponyi, the Austrian ambassador, the Countess Lot:ow, Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., Mrs. Roe beck, Miss Roebuck, Mr. J. Orrell Lever, M.P., Mrs. Lever, Mr. Vandenberg, the Austrian consul at Portsmouth, the aldermen and councillors of the corporation in their roles, and a number of influential gentlemen from London and Manchester, as well as those belonging to the port. After • tour of the docks, the ships in port of the Royal West India Mail, Peninsular and Oriental, and New York Companies ware inspected with evident interest. The ships were dressed with flags. The Archduke wore the collar and badge of an Austrian order, besides several other decorations. The visitors and those assembled next embarked ou board the South Western Company's steam-ship Havre, in which they steamed gently down the Southampton Water, viewing the freest scenery, the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, kr. The Portuguese corvette Bartholomew Dios, commanded by his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto, dreamed ship, manned yards (a very pretty sight), and fired • royal salute. Her Majesty's steam frigate Dauntless fired a salute ; and the boys.of the Royal Naval tnsiniugship Eagle also manned yards. While on board the Havre, the Archduke expressed to the Mayor his gratification at the reception which he bad received, and his pleasure and agree able surprise at the facilities of egress and ingress which the port of Southampton pommies for ships of the largest ton nage in any weather and at all times of tide. In the comae of the inspectioo, Colonel Barlow, Chairman of the South ampton Dock Company, presented to his Imperial High ness an elaborately-houod description of the port and docks, accompanied with a map. The Havre returned to the Royal Pier, where the party disembarked and proceeded to the Victoria Assembly rooms, where at four o'clock a magnificent dejenner was provided. The Mayor preside], and there was a distinguished party pre sent, the Archduke being on the right and the Archduchess on the left of his worship. The band of the god Hants (Southampton) Rifle Volunteers was stationed on the lawn, and performed is the interval' between the toasts ; and Christy's Minstrels sang a soleatioo of their choicest concerted songs. The Town Clerk reed letters from Viscount Pal merston and Earl Granville, stating their inability to attend is coesequenee of their engagements to sign the Princess Alice's marriage contract, a circumstance the an nouncement of which was received with enthusiastic ap plause. The MAYOR proposed in succession the toasts of " The Queen," "The Emperor of Austria," "The Royal Family," and " The Health of the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, Lord High Admiral of Anatria." The Archduke MAXIMILIAN, who roes amidst reiterated applause, said—Geatlemen, deeply moved at the kind man ner in which you have received this toast, I express my best sad most cordial thanks, sad I propose to you on this ooca ekm to drink to the prosperity, the power, and the greatness ei England—the elevated model of nll free, active, and in dustrious nations. (Great cheering.) The Hon. R. H. Durrox, M.P., proposed "The Navy, the Army, and the Volunteers. Captain Pansy, R.N., admiralty superintendent of packets at Southampton; Colonel Cameron, R.E., and Colonel Grimetes, severally responded. The Archduke MAXIMILIAN—GentIemen, I propose the toad of "The Mayor of Southampton "our amiable host, who bee received us so well. (Cheers.) The XATOR acknowledged the compliment. Mr. T. FALN zr proposed "The British House of Com awns " Mr. Rocsuce, M.P., said—Mr. Mayor,—lf on an ordinary ono:anion I should feel diffident of my powers in attempting to reply in returning thanks for the toast of the House of Commons, I should do so now particularly, for we have, sir, now amongst us one who is a near relation of • great monarch who Lu attempted to bring about in biz dominions . _ _ _ constitutional government, and I would a that in so doing he has met with all those prejudices, those ignorance', sad those mistakes that constantly attend men who attempt todo good to their lellow-bainp. He has attempted to bring into the mintry which he rules—a pm% a aumormdlag satatry is Imapa— a constitutional gewarameat, at whisk we afford is sinkable a type. He has not attempted to maks say part ad art empire supreme over the rest, but be has attempted to minks all equally alike, and to make them to be equally eugemseted in the Imperial Parliament of Austria. Now liteA s I say, is a thing that ought to enlist itself in every ishmaa's mind, and however there may be persons who endeavour to mislead us, however there may be per sons governed by interest . to induce us to believe the con tras, of what is the truth, the empire of Austria at the pre mei time is attempted to be made a constitutional govern ment by the imperial relative of our honoured guest on this ceemioo. He has to meet with great difficulties—difficulties which we know, for we have attempted and accomplished the same thing—(hear, hear, and rbeers)—we have made hoot& communities, differing in language sod in religion, cies *sited empire. (Hear, hear.) That be is attempting sow to do. That he is belied, that he hi maligned, that he is admopresented, belongs only to mankind ; but let him be aimed that he will be cheered onward on his path by all well-conducted and well•thinking Englishmen—(cheers) —sad that they will endeavour to do all they can do to aid him In his great and beneficent teak. Now, sir, when we have this honoured guest at our table we wish him to catry bag to that country which ho adorns the feelings which MR ball his imperial relative what he is about to accomplish. Whitt is it be sees now around him ? He has been this day theliegh the docks of this town. They are the results of in divided enteepries—(tiear, hear)—enterprise that has Man allowed to attain its end because of the good government that he sees here established. And how is that good go vernment attained? Simply by enabling the people to make their own laws ; and this is the lesson that ought to be read to every monarch in Europe. (Cheers.) England, if she has a positiou—and she has a position—among the nations of the earth, derives it solely from herself ; it is not any royal power which has given it to her ; it is not any beneficent deity which has given to her that which we possess ; we have wrought it out for ourselves— Englishmen have produced what England now yields to the world. But I would ask our imperial guest who now adorns' this table what is it he has seen amongst us that most marks the people among whom he DOW . is ? is it the mercantile Beets coming in from every sea, wafting to our shores f reightkmanufactured and made by every people upon earth? Is it this? No, it is not this. Is it our manufactures that so macifest our power, now so accomplished over nature that we have made the powers of nature our slaves? No, it is not this. It is that Eaglishmen are obedient throughout everything to the law, and above everything that the law is made by themselves. And I will tell him, and through him that great head of his nation, that a nation which governs itself is best governed, and that a nation that governs itself is the most gratifying to those who have the nominal sovereignty over it. As his imperial highness has seen on this occasion, wo very nearly adore our Queen—(cheer) --she is a constitutional monarch, heading the nation — I will not say the first, for I would not be vainglorious, bat among the first that the earth affords. Is she not great ; is she not Incurs ; can she not go from one end of her king dom to the other, and be met by acclaiming multitudes? If she were an absolute monarch she could not do this. His Imperial Highness bag to-day seen multitudes met together, bat be has met no soldiers. (Hear, hear.) The law is not thrust down our throats at the point of bayonets. Every well conducted man is a policeman, because we have made oar own laws. And I honour that great monarch, who from his high mountain has seen that there are things below him worthy of regard, and that he has made the people of Austria to thoroughly appreciate the value of what the Em peror of Austria is doing. And the people of England fully appreciate and I believe understand the greatness of what the Emperor of Austria has been doing. It ha. grown slowly upon them. He is not attempting to make one party superior to another, or one part of his great dominions superior to another, but he is attempting to give all alike constitutional government, Hewitt be opposed by interest, by faction, and by demagogues ; but let him depend upon the people of England, they will support him throughout all iris difficulties. They tram from experience what those difficulties are, and they will hail him as one of the great benefactors of mankind. Now, sir, we enjoy all these things because we govern ourselves, and, governing our selves, we have a House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) I have brought round my argument from the point at which we startel. The House of Commons does all these things. Small wits may urge their petty power to descant upon the mistakes we make ; but I would ask, where do you meet 850 men together and there shall not be a fool amongst them! (Laughter.) That there are fools amongst us nobody is more willing to allow than I am. I undergo that from day to day ; I suffer what you do not ; but nevertheless that is a great assembly representing England, the great England, and they represent it worthily. Depend upon it, if you get rid of us, the House of Commons—and I have unfortunately been 30 years there—you will get rid of the distinguishing mark of England. (Cheers.) We are a free people, free to speak that which we do feel. If we mis take—sad Oaf knows that it is the forth= of men to make mistakes—nobody is soready to tell ate as the people. _ _ Grumbling is the great business of life, and I am quite sure that of the faculties of the House of Commons grum bling is the most important. Where in despotic countries people are coerced till they feel ► temptation to rise in arms against the government, in England every man who feels a grievance writes to his member or to some member —I wish you knew the letters I receive—(laughter)—and if he does not find a voice it is very remarkable, for the knave, the fool, has always found a representative and • voice in the House of Commons. (Laughter.) Nevertheless, the House of Commons has made England what it is ; and in Da name, fully understanding my own inefficiency to do so, I return thanks, and I hope that its example may be of the same value to the rat of mankind that its good government has been to England. (Loud cheers.) Mr. DEACON proposed, "The Public Companies," and Colonel 11AELOW responded. Mr. J. R. STY.BIENG, president of the Chamber of Com merce, proposed " The Commerce of Austria and England." Count Apron t—l find it very difficult, I assure you, to express my grateful sense of the honour you have done me, The good wishes of Englishmen for Austria go straight to every Austrian heart, and it is not only the many struggles borne together in the pest which should attach the two canaries to each other, it is also • certain undeniable resemblance in character, feelings, and pursuits. (Cheers.) Whilst I inn called upon to represent the Emperor, my insater, at the court of your universally honoured Queen, I have happily often had the occasion to study in the vari ous classes of society all that is so great in England. And it is with sincere pride that, looking back to Austria, I re cognise in her many of the self-same capacities for goodness and greatness, and I will also say for freedom. (Cheers.) It is the fond belief of those Austrians who know this country well, that their own must one day he more closely formed upon her model than can be any other continental state. For my own part, gentlemen, I confess tha my ardent hopes for the ever stronger union of our two faun. tries rest upon the fact that all their interests are the Name. It is almost impossible to conceive any case in which the in terests of England and Austria could clash. They are allies formed by nature. (Cheers.) Again, permit me to tender my heartfelt thanks for the honour you have done me, by coupling my name with the wishes expressed for the welfare of Austria by so enlightened a community as this. Other toasts followed, and the distinguished visitors left for London by special train. - - NATIONAL ASSOCIATION TOM THE PROMOTION Or SOCIAL fliciancit—The Right Hon.

We yesterday gave a short telegraphic despatch of the nomination of the candidates. We now furnish a de tailed account of the proceedings. About 4,000 persons were assembled. The high sheriff, Sir HUMPHREY Di TRAFFORD. Bart., presided. Mr. FRANCIS SHAND and Mr. R. H. NORRIVI seconded, Mr. Charles Turner the conservative candidate. Mr. T. BROCIELERANI proposed, and Mr. MARI PHILIPS seconded Mr. John Cheetham, the liberal candidate. Mr. Tiraere was received with great cheering from his supporters, and hooting from the liberals. He said the con. stituency wee not called u po n to decide a mere personal question begereen Mr. Cheat ha m and himself, but whether it would support the maintenance of church and state and the cone/restive progress which distinguished the con servative party; or whether it prof erred separation of church and vote u proa r.) and triennial partiaments. (" No, no " cheers, and He could hardly believe that the liberal' petty, which had lately invited Mr. °Mame, was now really united in support of Mr. Cheetham; the moderate section of the liberals being warm advocates of the union between church and state, and dis with the ballot. It was said, however, that Mr. t u h l ea U t d ham was proposed as a supporter of Lord Palmerston's government. But was that government in favour of sepa ties of church and state? (" No," and cheers.) On these vital principles Mr. Cheetham could hardly command the votes of the liberals ; but, however that might be, he (Mr. Turner), if returned, would support that union between church and mate which he believed to be one of the greatest b luesng d this countr _enjoyed. (Cheers and uproar.) And wou oppose the ving it would fail iu ob jest, amides dearoying the electoral chareener feetwiewsterendr straightforwardness. (Three cheers for Mr. Turner.) In Eng land, under existing arrangeients, we enjoyed a freedom of speech and action which, lie would venture to say, was not enjoyed in any other part of the world. In France the ballot had produced a barely . concealed despotism of the strongest character. (Noisy interruption.) In America, it seemed, the ballot was not favourable to free trade, for the last tariff there was more protective than any wh ich pre- ceded it. Nor had the ballot protected the United States from the present deplorable crisis in that country. (Cheers.) Reflecting on what was passing in those states, we had nothing to fear from a comparison of our institutions with theirs. Mr. Cheatham wee understood to acquiesce in Lord Palmerston 's measures teethe defence of this country, but how far was his support likely to be earnest and effective, iden tified as be was with the party of Mr. Bright? (Cheese, and great interruption). He (Mr. Turner) highly approved of those measures of defence brought forward try Lord Palmerston, and particularly el his encourgement to our volunteer force. (Three cheers for the volunteers). Mr. Cheetham seemed to have avoided allusion to the volun teers in his recent addresses- Mr. Cheetham and his friends accused the conservative party of everything that had gone wrong in our administration for twenty years past ; and took credit to themselves for every good measure that had passed. But there were people, and strong liberals among them, who thought the extreme opinions enunciated by the League party in parliament bad done the greatest mischief to England. The conservative party were charged with mieconducting our foreign affairs • but almost the last thing said by Lord J. Russell, the loreign minister of Lord Palmerstou's government, before his elevation to the House of Peers, was to this effect :—" 1 have always said in this house, and I am ready to repeat it now, that I thought Lord Maluesbury • very efficient Minister of Foreign Afars, and that the gene ral course of his policy was the right policy to pursue." (Great cheering, and " Three cheers for Lord Malmesbury.") He would rather take the opinion of, Lord J. Russell on the matter than the opinion of Mr. Cheetham. And if it bad not been for the support of the conservatives the Palmerston government itself would long ago have fallen under the attacks of the League party. (Cheers.) On the question of parliamentary reform, he (Mr. Turner) was in favour of a representation in co nformity with the wealth, intelligence, ' and general population of the country ; but it was idle for a gentleman to pledge himself to any particular figure that might be proposed as the limit of the franchise ' • and a matter of so much importunes ought not to be brought' before the legislature unless the people generally had a strong opinion about it, or unless the government had a fair chance of carrying their proposals through parliament. That was the opinion of Lord Derby, echoed by Lord Granville. (Three cheers for Lord Darby.) He was ac cused of being only a °avert to free trade, but surely the liberals should not object to a couvert— (cheen)—and he had always been a man of progress, ready to make such modifications and improvements as seemed to become desirable. He was for amendment, while his opponents were for destruction. (Cheers.) As to foreign policy, he thought that while sympathising with liberty everywhere, we ought not to intervene in the again of other states. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Cements'', who was received with mingled cheering and di approbation, said the first question was, by what standard or test were the electors going to decide. There ware great principles at issue in this contest, and there were parties, as iu days gone by. The party of his opponents, however, appeared under false colours, professing themselves to be reformers, and attached to our institutions, after having formerly de nouooed the efforts made to bring about the improved state of things they now accepted. What confidence was now to be placed in the opiurou of men whose perceptions had been so egregiously mistaken ? (Cheers.) It was said on the other side that further reforms were " under considera tion." But ',unity when a man came to ask his countrymen to give him power in the legislature to protect and advance their interests, he should have done considering and be ready . for action, avowing his principles and prepared manfully to defend them. (Cheers.) It seemed they were all free touters. But what was the value of general acknowledgments on paper, which were contradicted in practice! Those gentlemen now opposed to him, and accepting free trade, had denounced Mr. Glad- "tone's budget, and tried to undermine the great work of Mr. Cobden in Paris. His honourable opponent was guarded In his language, for instead of saying, " We approve of the free-trade principle," he " We concur iu it." (Laughter and cheers.) Of what value was his concurrence now the battle was won—no thanks to him? (Cheers.) Mr. Cheetham pro ceeded to criticise Mr. Turner's pretensions as a promoter of browsed cotton supply to this country, and represented that whether that gentleman and his party were judged by past deeds, by political or commercial reform, or by Feat Indian reform, they were on every ground fighting under false solaces, not daring to avow their principles. Mr. Turner tried to make political capital out of the circumstance that Mr. Bright had supported him (Mr. Cheatham). It was =that bemuse he was supported by a particular iedi. he was supposed to advocate all the opinions of that individual. (Laughter, and three cheers for Mr. Bright.) He was accused by Mr. Turner of decrying oar institutions. l i Why, his whole political career in connexion with the liberal party had been to reform, amend, establish, and perpetuate the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) If those in stitutions bad been left to the guardianship of his hon. opponent and the conservatives they would have been far more dilapidated than that old white Louse over the way. He was told to look at America, and he would ask them to look there at the present state of things, and draw the lemon it conveyed. The evil in the South was the existence of that state of slavery which under the good old tory ad ministrations of past days was established in that country. (Cheers.) Ono great cause of the existing quarrel be tween the South sod the North was on the good old tory notion of • high tariff, It was toryism, or the principles of toryistn, both in the South and the North, that caused the present troubles in America. He had been misrepresented on the question of church and state. What he had said was, that it was a question that would not be discussed in our time, but whenever the change took place it would be effected by the members of the church of England itself, when they saw, anriclatle diversity of opinion and practice, the benefits of separation between the church and the state (Cheering and uproar.) After declaring his opinions of the necessity of vote by ballot at elections, Mr. Cheetham said he bad on the pre sent occasion oo professions or apolo g ies to make ;he could refer to the past as to the doings of his party and himself, and be invited the electors to compare these with the opi. Dior and practice of those opposed to him. (Loud cheers.) On the show of bands being taken, the High Sheriff declared it to be in favour of Mr. Turner. The number of haulm held up for that gentleman showed a majority, but a portion of the crowd gave no sign for either andidate. The result was hailed with loud cheering. A poll was demanded fur Mr. Chatham, which will take *bee on Saturday, and the p roceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the High She riff. THE New REPORM ACT.—The new act for the ap propriation of the seats vacateclby thedidranchieeinent of the boroughs of Sudbury and et. Albans has just been printed. It provides that, after the dissolution of the present parlia ment, the West Riding of the county of York is to be di vided into two divisions, to be called the northern and southern dirisioai; and in all future parliaments there are to be two knights of theshire for each division. There are to be new polling places • but, in the event of a dissolu tion before they are constru cted, the existing places are to be used. An additional member, "after the pealing of the act,* is glum to the southern division of Lancashire, making three knights of the shire ; and the Speaker of the House of Commons is, as soon as may be, without any motion, or in the recess, without any notice, to issue his warrant for th e election. Birkeoheed is to form • borough to return one member after the Ist December next. The election laws in force are to be applicable to the new places Greeted by this additional Reform Act. Paararvat, PENSION& —The " Fluent* Accounts" show that we paid last year 16,0001. for perpetual pensions. The last pension of tins maw* was one of 2,0001. a year granted in 1814 to the heirs male on whom the title of Viscount Exmouth shall descend. Since that date no pen sion has been for • longer term than the life of the person whose services were to be acknowledged and the Erse of his two next heirs- AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNISDAT. The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's screw steamer North American, Captain Burgess, which left Quebec on the 3rd instant, arrived in the Mersey at 7.30 this morning. A telegraphic summary of the news from the States to the evening of the 3rd inst., received by the above steamer, has already appeared. The New York journals are only one day later than those received per Asia, and the Canadian ones contain nothing of interest. General }Mellen had assumed the command of the army of the Potomac, and had issued his two first general orders. The first announces the ap pointment of his staff, comprising, it is said, a body of excellent and efficient officers ' • the second order embodies the first step t o w ar d s reorganising the army. It commands the instant return to their several camps of the officers and soldiers scattered round Washington at hotels and boarding-houses, reminding them that duty requires their presence at the headquarters of their regiments to restore order and discipline among the men. Colonel Porter was appointed Provost Marshal to carry out this order, and he had already begun his work by closing up the liquor saloons in the capital, around which much drunkenness and riotous conduct has misted. By the adoption of these stringent and necessary measures there was but little doubt that perfect order would reign in all the camps in a few days, and that the army would be in perfect con dition once more. It was stated by an army officer who was taken prisoner at Bull's Run, and made his escape into Washington, that the rebels had not less than 240,000 men in Virginia. He reports further that no intention exists to attack Washington, and that General Beauregard is is favour of acting on the defensive entirely. He represents Fairfax as being rapidly put into a state of defence by the construc tion of fortifications and entrenchments. General Banks was in a strong position on the Maryland shore, and completely commanded Harper's Ferry. The Missouri State Convention had declared vacant the offices of Governor, Lieut.-Governor, and Secretary of State. The seats of the members of the present General Assembly were also de clared vacant. The convention then proceeded to appoint a Provisional Governor, Lieut.-Governor, and Secretary of State. Hamilton R. Gamble, of St. Louis, was appointed Governor of Missouri by 68 votes ; Willard P. Hall, Lieut.-Governor ; and Mordecai Oliver, Secretary of State. The schooner Tropic Bird, which was seized on the 29th June for violating the blockade of the Potomac, near fortress Munroe, had arrived at New York with a prize crew on board. This vessel was seized ou a previous occasion, but upon examination of the charges against her was dis charged by the Secretary of State. The matter of the writ of habeas corpus, in the case of Purcell Ild'Quillan, confined as a political prisoner at Fort Lafayette, had been settled in the United States Supreme Court by the judge refusing to order the execution of the writ, it having been disobeyed by order of General Scott—the judges, in the present condition of the country, not being inclined to urge a con fl ict with the civil and mili tary authorities. In the United States Senate, on the 31st ult., a communication was received from the President Itransmitting a report of all the instructions given to the foreign ministers of the United States in reference to the rebellion. The communication was ordered to be printed. The bill to increase the consular representatives abroad during the con tinuance of the rebellion was passed, and progress made with sundry other pending measures. The House of Representatives passed a bill pro viding for the monthly payment of the troops. Leave was asked to introduce a preamble and reso lutions to the effect that the war shall only be prosecuted so far as is necessary to enforce obedience to the constitution and the government, and that it shall in no case be allowed to go so far as to reduce any portion of the country to an inferior condition. This was declared out of order under the rules. The .New Orleans True Della incidentally states that three-fourths of the men who had left that city and state in defence of Southern righti are Irishmen. The same paper states that any official and reliable detailed intelligence of the bat tle of Manassas would possibly be withheld from the public by the provisional government. The Montgomery Mail asserts that the Confede rate government has 250,000 soldiers, well drilled and armed, and judiciously disposed for defensive operations. As the editor of that journal is secre tary of the Southern Congress, the above informa tion is supposed to be derived from official sources. Several European officers are said to have arrived at New York in the steamer Borussia, for the pur pose of offering their services to the United States government. The Richmond Examiner, of the 27th ult., states that prisoners were still being brought in, and that 1,000 of the enemy's dead still remained unburied. There had been reports of a fight at Bullistown, but a Washington telegram of the Ist says that up to noon of that day no verification of the statement had been received. The same despatch says : "The rumour of General Wise retreating is con firmed ; but under what circumstances is not stated." Prime Napoleon, as arranged left New York for Washington on the 31st . The Prince will make a tour through the West, and return in a few weeks to New York, where the imperial yacht will await his return. A Washington telegram of the let to the Nem York Herakt says it was suspected that the army of the Potomac would not be kept idle for so long a time as had been generally predicted. General M'Clellan was expected to Wilco as soon as ready without waiting for the weather. The Canadian news is quite unimportant. The Great Eastern was to leave Quebec on the 6th met. The final passage of the Tariff and Direct Tax Bills through bed' Houses of Congress, and the latest commercial intelligence has already been Riven in the telegram ri4 Londonderry. A private despatch from New York, dated evening of the 3rd, quotes cotton firm at 1611 c. to 17c. for middling uplands, and the tendency still upward. The sales of the last three days reached 8,000 bales. No reliable information could be obtained iu regard to the growing crop. Flour was quoted at 4 dole. 30c. for extra state, and wheat at 1 doL 17c. for winter red. Coffee was tinn at 13c. to 131 e. for Rio. Sterling ex change, 1071 for bankers' and PYT for commercial bills. Freights to Liverpool : Flour, 2s. Ikl. ; wheat, 9id. LONDON GININAL PONTKRB' BINEVOIJENT Asee- CIATION.—The fourteenth quarterly general meeting of the members was held lasi evening, at the Gnaw Inn, Alder. manbury ; Mr. F. Litt in the chair. The chairman said— Finlay; es much interest as ever in the association, he con gretuuted them on its steadily increasing prosperity. He entreated the young porters in City houses to come forward and join the society, and thus confer a benefit not oily on themselves bat on the clime to which they belonged. The reretery, Mr. /tonne* read the report, which stated:— 'That the reoeipts of the past quarter had been 21114 Oa 4d. The balance is now 2471. Is. 3d., which added to the funded capital of 3,780/. 2a. Id., makes a tots! of 4,0274 lls. 4d. to the credit of the emaciation. The society has received an accession of seventy new members and subecribets during the three months now past. In May last three pensioners were elected on the tondo, making now four persons re ceiving benefit from the society. There are several candi dates waiting for election. To still further increase the numbers and to benefit the porters the board have resolved to have a book kept at the office, for the purpose of metering the names of porters out of eituatious and smiting them to get employment. AU members of the amociation will be allowed to enter their Denies free of charge ; non members will he charged Is. Employers will he invited to send down to the office all vacancies in their establishments free of expense. It is hoped by this project still further to assist and benefit the porters of London.
