Ir appears that Plums H. of Naples is not altogether without powerful friends in the hour of his abject humiliation and distress. A dis tinguished potentate, who takes a friendly inte rest in his neighbours' affairs, and diligently culti vates a natural talent for correspondence, has recently, we are told, written the youthful monarch a letter of good advice. We have no wish what ever to check the feeling of admiration which a disinterested act will naturally excite. To sympathise with virtue—especially with royal virtue—in distress, and speak words of guidance and consolation to the afflicted and unfortunate, is always praiseworthy. But, after all, the feelings are not the safest guide in the compli cated affairs of life, and a generous impulse may often lead astray. Sympathy confuses what in practice ought to be kept perfectly distinct. The compauion, for example, which is due to misfortune cannot with propriety, or even with decency, be extended to crime ; and help extended to the guilty is a curse rather than a blessing. We are far from saying that the Imperial monitor has fallen into any such confusion of ideas; but it is possible, nevertheless, that in a moment of self-forgetfulness his dis interested affection for minor sovereigns may have hurried him into an act capable of such a con struction. We cannot of course deny the right of any sovereign to give advice to another with whom he is, at least ostensibly, on amicable terms. But for any European power to appear as the friend and protector of the King of NAPLIII at the present moment would be a very bold proceeding. Such an expression of sympathy with his position would argue an insensibility to the atrocity of the crimes of which he is now reap ing the just punishment. Without assuming that the Emperor of the Flaxen wishes to assume any such invidious and dangerous position, the time he has selected for offering his advice is so peculiar that his conduct will naturally awaken inquiry and provoke criticism. One cannot help asking, why should the Emperor of the Faioeu give advice to the King of NAPLES at this juncture f Why should he at such a crisis depart from the professed policy of non-interven tion in favour of a hated ruler who has justly forfeited his throne, and is virtually a political outlaw amongst European powers 1 When the fatal rupture between the monarch and his subjects has taken place it is surely too late to give advice. While the catastrophe might still be avoided it was no doubt the duty of friendly powers to point out to the infatuated monarch the inevitable result of his perversity and perfidy, and advise him to adopt a juster and safer course. This was done abun dantly both by the French Government and our own. Lord JOHN Ressett and our Ambassador at Naples repeatedly addressed urgent remonstrances and friendly warnings to Fate= IL But he turned • deaf ear to all advice, and treated the friendly remonstrances of foreign powers with scornful indifference and contempt. Now, when the domestic calamities so long predicted have over taken him, in the true spirit of a coward and a bully be rues for assistance to the very powers whose advice he despised, and whines miserably for help at their feet. Bat the wretched appeal comes too late. Having obstinately chosen to take his own course, he should be left to abide by the result. Having wantonly provoked his subjects to revolt, he must be left to settle the dispute with them am he can. Neither England nor France could with dignity or self respect, to say nothing of consistency, violate their engagement to respect the principle of non intervention in the affairs of Southern Italy. Now, however, we are told that the &maws has written a letter in which he practically assumes the repudiated office of mediator between the KING and his revolted subjects. Simple-minded men naturally ask, what is the meaning of this ? The alleged contents of the Imperial letter are not reassuring. They consist of various proposals which, though intrinsically innocent enough, are, politically, open to grave nurpleion. The Emilia" rltSella eltatiges in the constitution ant: adrnieistration of the Neapolitan Government, all of which would be decided reforms. But when a great Power like France presents to a small Power like Naples, at such a moment, a definite plan of this sort, the offer involves something more than advice—it is an indirect guarantee of protection if the advice be followed. No doubt the suggestions of the letter are in themselves worthy of all consideration, and, if substantially adopted and faithfully carried out at an eligible season, would have constituted • reform great enough to have averted the revolution. But what is the use of offering them now, or of their being for one moment accepted bya beleaguered Govern ment in exfremis, and acting under the strongest compulsion, moral and material? Of course the propositions have been accepted. What d ie ' could be done under the circumstances 1 We are told that after reeding the Dere- Polio letter the council of ?wets 11., by a majority of nine to three, peened resolutions in favour of a constitution, of a general amnesty, of THE a total change of ministry, and last but not least, I of an alliance with Piedmont ; and that the Kau' has himself ratified this decision of the comma. We confess our inability to bee how this at all really alters the situation. It is the old game over again. The same promises have been loads over and over again. When the Knco is reduced to extremities, when he can no longer massacre his subjects at will, he grants a constitution. We should hope the Neapolitans are not likely to be deceived by so worn and crooked a device, and that they will require a stronger guarantee than the word of an hereditary perjurer before they consent to desist from their just efforts to secure a bond f ide government. POl2lO and his noble companions were the victims of precisely such a compromise as is now sug gested, and they will scarcely be avenged by • repetition of the same fatal imposture. It is refreshing to turn from delusive rumours of political intrigue to the triumphant career of GARIBALDI in Sicily. The hopes of Italy centre in the great soldier of her independence; and his acts both in the council and the field ►bun dantly justify their enthusiastic trust. By the latest news he was just about to march on Messina. The expedition against that stronghold had been carefully organised, and the army was to commence its march from Palermo about the 28th inst. A camp of 10,000 men had already been formed four leagues from the town, and the attack is ready, as soon as the order is given. Is it likely that it will be averted, or even delayed, by the changes, on paper, of which our correspon dent at Naples sent us a telegraphic summary yesterday? We should think not. This is not the first time the Neapolitan BOURBONS have pro mised constitutional government and representa tive institutions, as thousands of honest men know to their sorrow. But their fair words have ever been a snare to those who trusted in them. Gam -6A LDI and the Sicilians will know how to deal with the bombarder of Palermo.

The Earl of Shaftesbury, speaking at a meeting, on Tuesday, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of some new buildings for the Bing EdwanYs School, Shoe horn., said :--" I do believe—and many concur with me— that the eye of man has never rested on • more noble spectacle than that of Saturday teat When I saw so many young men of all callings, sod pursuing many occupations for their daily bread—clerks, warebonsemen—ready, not withstanding the small portion of time alloted to them, to devote a portion of that time to drill, ready if Socessary to come forward and serve their coun try, and actuated, not by a spirit of aggression, but by • spirit of righteous self-defence—(lond cheers) —ready not to assail the right. of others, but boLlly, fearlessly to uphold the right. which God has given them -4 Orden when those great moral considerations come over me I was overpowered by the spectacle, and I was not salaamed of my emotion, for r declare I saw from the eyes of elderly men the team streaming for that God had put such a spirit into the hearts of his people. It was witnessed by many foreign ministers, and by the ambassador of France, who candidly avowed to me that he had near wft nemed inch a spectacle in his life. I told him 'lt is no threat to your imperial master—far higher! We are not menacing—our men stand here in defence of that which is our own. We only say if you covet other men's goods you covet them not to oar injury, but by the blessing of God to your own &Armlike.'" (Loud chess.)

A letter from Rome in the Perseceranui of Milan says : General de Lamoriegre is greatly disappointed , and has no confidence in the result of his mission. A few days ago, in conversation, with one of his friends, he said, " I have been completely deceived as to the situation of the Roma government. I was told that I should find an army not In a very bed condition; that I should be furnished with all the means necessary for completing its organisation ; that all the money I wanted for that purpose would be placed at my disposal, and that I should receive all the co-operation I might desire on the part of the people, who were entirely devoted to the go comment. I have found everything quite the reverse. The army is completely demi.ralieed, without instruction, and without discipline ; I am in want of all the elements for organising and completing it; the rums the most deo. I lately required are obtained with difficulty, and the feelings of the people are most hostile to the Papal government. In this state of things, you perceive that, with my best wishes, it is impossible for me to ameeed in my mission." THE DISTURBANCES IN SYRIA. CONSI'ANTINOPLF, Jon 20 (vu Mussaurs). Yesterday, 2,000 soldiers were sent to Beyrout. The garrison of Damascus have committed acts of pillage. The Governors of Damascus, Aleppo, and Smyrna have been deprived of office. The Christians received with joy the intelligence that the Porte was instituting an inquiry into the recent disturbances. The troops which have been sent to restore order are, however, insufficient, and massacres are always feared. The Christian inhabitants of Cyprus are emi grating en venue to Greece. Haman Bey has been sent on a tour through the empire in order to institute inquiries. The Marquis de Lavalette has given 3,000 f. to the sufferers from the late fires.

Much iratification was expressed at the Cape at the corning return of Sir George Grey, and the expected visit of Prince Alfred. Preparations were being made to give the Prince a right loyal welcome. Government affairs were much neglected, and were left to stand over until the return of the governor. A parliamentary S.IIADCe cormuittee had been appointed to consider whether the government of the colony ow be carried on with the present revenue. Some method of direct taxation was expected.

I amiobi owa 00111/IPONDEPL) PARIS, WZDNISDAT EV1211210. It is quite settled that Prince Jerome will be interred at the Invades on Tuesday. The ques tion of the immolation of the body to St. Denis, at a subsequent period, is reserved. The vault com manded for the imperial family in the cathedral is not yet ready. The lying in state at the Palais Royal will commence on Friday. The public will be admitted without tickets. On the day of the funeral the Bourse and the theatres will be closed. The procemion will, according to the Pattie and the Pays, "follow" the line of the Rue de Rivoli. But this announcement is inoorrect, if it be true, as stated in the latter journal, that it will cross the Place du Carrousel and gain the Invalid, by the Pont Royal. In that case it will merely cross the Rue Rivoli, opposite the Pali& Royal. The na tional guard has been warned to Bank the whole line of march, and the entire army of Paris, com manded by Marshal Magma, will take part in the ceremony. Half-boar guns will be fired from six o'clock in the morning, and twenty-one guns will announce the respective stages of the departure from the Phials Royal, the arrival at the Invalidee, the Elevation of the Host at the funeral, and the layering of the body into the grave. The Church of the Invalides will be entirely hung with black for the occasion. In the vault prepared to receive the corpse there lie already the remains of Prince Jerome's eldest son and the heart of the Primes, Caroline of Wurtemburg, his wife. The Patrie, in a prominent paragraph, complains that the Gazette de France announced Prince Jerome's death in small type. The denial of the Monifeur that the government has any intention to raise a new loan, although given in unqualified terms, whereas it was expected to be dilatory, was so far discounted yesterday that it produced no effect whatever upon the Bourse to day. Many people still think with the Rapes deuce Beige that, whatever may be present " inten tions," there will be a loan before the end of the year. The Rente, after opening at 68fr. 75c., be came very fiat, and closed for account at yester day's prioe-68fr. 65c. For offish there was a rise of 10e., the last quotation being 68fr. 70c. Mo bilier fell Ur. 25c. The Orleans Railway rose 3fr. 750., and Lyons, lfr. 25c.; Southern fell 2fr. 50c.; in the other principal lines there was no change. The business done in all descriptions of securities was extremely limited. A very positive statement that the government will not augment the issue of treasury bonds produced no effect. M. Nieman, the most celebrated tenor in all Germany, arrived in Paris to-day to make arrange ments for his appearance in Wagner's new opera, Tanhatiaser, which, however, is not likely to be pro duced before January. M. Nieman, who has never yet been heard either in Paris or London, has obtained two years' leave of absence from the King of Hanover. The Moniteur publishes an imperial decree, officially appointing the Abbe Maret as Bishop of Vannes, as already stated, but which is dated the 25th ult. This delay between the nomination and the publication of the decree would seem to show the extent of the difficulties which were at first thrown in the way of the nomination by the court of Rome, in consequence of the new bishop being well known for his decided attachment to Gallican principles. ITALY. SARDINIA. (TROY OCR OWN TURIN, JUNE 23. A Neapolitan frigate with despatches from our government is expected this morning at Genoa, and it is said that it will also bring au envoy extra ordinary from the • of Naples. Our minister, the Marquis Pea di V' • has sent a tele gram to Count Cavour, informing him of these in tentions on the part of the Neapolitan government, but it appears that he did not know what proposals would be made. It is stated that they will be in accordance with the advice which the Emperor gave Be Martino in the remark, " You have mistaken your road • you ought to go to Turin." I believe, however, that it will not be certainly known till to-night what the Neapolitan envoy rosily comes for. If, as is stated, he is charged with a mission of conciliation, the thing !t ar t time of day is simply ridiculous. For the rest, all the news from Naples indicates that the court wishes to gain time without making any change of system, confiding a good deal meanwhile in the diplomatic and military assistance of Spain. In this it will find itself mistaken. It is true that Spain anything but sympathises with the present Italian movement, and that being governed by Bourbons and priests, she would like to see Bourbons and priests every where, in her ignorance that it is exactly these two elements that ,neutralise whatever constitutional rights exist in the Spanish peninnula. Piedmont has made more progress in ten years, with liberty, than Spain in forty without it ; but Piedmont is fortunate enough to have no Bourbons. But though the Spaniards may not be advanced enough to perceive all this, it is quite idle to expect that at a moment when Austria herself does not venture to violate the principle of non-intervention, Spain would either dare or be permitted to do so. But the fact is the King of Naples, finding his case hopeless iu the eyes of all sound political advisers, catches greedily at any quack's nostrum that is sug gested to hint. In the meantime our government has renewed its protests against the illegal capture of the Utile, and the consequentlyillegal detention of her pas sengers, whom the King of Naples has sent to the E ll t:rrin " t i he is p if ali us d oni nza' onte Warel ki e. ly re °mm Ame rican consuls, too, have informed their government of the insult to the stars and stripes. I have said above that Austria does not venture to violate the principle of non-intervention ; I ought to have said that she does not venture to violate it openly, for she does not stick in the least at many things that are a virtual violation of it. I have just received a letter from Ancona, written by a person who, from the office he holds, has access to the best information, _and he gives the following news respecting the Marches. Observe that he does not speak of Umbria, where things may be altogether difierent. A field battery has arrived hero •• a present from the Ducheim of Parma. The officer who commands it proforma is a Parmesan, but all the rest are Austrians, Sid to not understand th eir chief, and consequently obey a esptaia of their own, who is the real commander. There has also come from Venice a quite new battery of twelve pow, having 1869 marked upon it, and with black arid yellow wheels. It is served by Austrian soldiers in the Palma uniform. Besides these there came yesterday by the steamer from Trieste two hundred soldiers, fifty of whom and two officers were in complete Austrian uniform. Among the Austrian officers who have arrived at Anomie there is one perfectly well known, since he was aide decamp to General Hopis, who was in garrison here. Four regiments of riflemen, amounting to 800 men altogether, ustria. There are 900 Swim at Urbino sad here , from here,duringthe last few days, we have been favoured with the preemies of 150 Irish and Belgians. To-day it is announced that in the course of the week there are to cone from. Trieste fifty cannon of large calibre. I shall communicate this letter to our govern ment, in case it should not have received such exact information from any other quarter. Our govern.. ment is most scrupulous in the observance of in ternationalduties, notwithstanding all that has been said about its permitting the volunteer expeditions. It could not prevent these without an inquisitorial and meddling interference inconsistent with time personal liberty guaranteed by its laws. At any rate, not a single Sardinian uniform has been seen rt ly, though fin intervention of an Italian nett on moil would be far more wi thal' Austrian intervention in any quarter (wit Michele Ainari has gone to Genoa for a day or so on private business • on his return he will take up his residence he re as official repre sentative of Sicily. He has chosen for his secretary the Sicilian exile, Avvocato De Pasquali, a literary man of some n ote, and author of a popular play called Maione. To-day the few Sicilians who still remained here left for their homes after eleven years of exile. Among them are men remarkable for wealth or birth, or high ability. But, as is natural, there are one or two less conciliatory and temperate than the rest. There is Professor Ferrara, for instance, who is somewhat distinguished as a political economist, but who from his restless, discontented, satirical disposition is more likely to create discord than that harmony which is essential to our triumph over our enemies. On the whole 1 think the Sici lian exiles are men of higher qualities than the Neapolitan, though among the latter there are many very fine characters. A book has just appea red here, by Francesco Car rano, and entitled, I Csociatori delle Alpi." The heroic deed just accomplished by these men in Sicily gives a peculiar interest to an exact narrative of them doings in the war of last year. At the end of the book there is some mention of their Sicilian exploits, which could not be well left unno ticed, since t 6 shed back a lustre on their pre vious career. The name of this body of men will be immortal in the history of Italian independence. A third expedition of 4,000 men is being pre pared, of which I shall write more fully soon. The Washington, tho Franklin, and the Oregon, which conveyed Medici to Palermo returned to Cagliari on the 20th, and after staying there a day, left for the Ligurian coast. Many who had given up military service have gone to Sicily on hearing that there was a great want there of officers of all grades. We hope that by this means an army may be organised there with out impoverishing ours, of which at any moment we may have the most urgent need. We must be prepared at all points, for our enemies are sleep less, and have by no means given up the game. THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY. (71031 OMR 0W77 NAPLES, Jos! 21. After posting my letters yesterday I was walking through the Largo Castello, when an officer stopped me, and putting into my hand a copy of the latest clandestine journal and the following address, said, "Read them when you get home." The address runs thus : Neapolitan Soldiers,—We do not rejoice in your digesters; very dear to us is every drop of Italian blood, and deeply do we sorrow that a fratricidal war has been necessary in Sicily for the holy cause which we support. Not content with seeing the great Italian family divided into little states, our oppressors have desired to , m.ke you look upon the brave in habitants of Sicily as strangers and enemies. But from this side of the straits (Sicily) no pretext could be found oven in the narrow arm of the sea for refusing to acknowledge us as children of one family. The blood which would be shed here would certainly be yours, of relatives and friends, whose hands you now grasp Shame and contempt on those few officers who, contamina ting their uniforms, descended to the base office of police men, arresting in the Toledo and injuring unarmedyouths, excited to a manifestation of joy by the announcement of • national triumph ; and who with the air of bravoes are pro voking honest and peaceable citizens in the streets. But such is tide handful of cowards. We confide in you soldiers, and in your chiefs, that you feel your bosoms warm with a holy national love. But if we are deceived in some, let them know full well that in spite of them the redemp tion of Italy will be completed, and one sole cry will echo from the Alps to the extremest coast of Sicily, Viva !'ltalia! Viva rlntlependensa ! Tei GMRAL colnurrxr. I believe that this placard has been generally distributed, but whatever effect it may produce amongst the officers, it will affect the soldiery but little, who from education or non-education are little better than brute beasts, and are loyal upon 5 grauis a day and the privilege of plunder. Still from one cause or another there is a great spirit of disaffection in the army, and I do not think it can be depended on ; if not in Sicily, much less so on the mainland, where reside their fathers and brothers—those to whom they are bound by the strongest natural and domestic ties. Everything indicates the near approach of dan ger, or the suspicion of it. Yesterday a flying brigade was sent off to Bagnori, Pozzuoli, and the Lago d'Aguano, consisting of two battalions of Chasseurs, a squadron of cavalry, and a regiment of the line. It was accompanied also by a battery of artillery. The idea is that there may be a disem barkation on the coast near the capital, and indeed the government gives out that the expedition which was captured on the 11th was intended for this neighbourhood. There hail been a rumour of " something" in the Abruzzi for the last twenty-four hours, either a landing of volunteers, or a conflict between the troops and the people. What it was, or what its proportions, I cannot make out. The royalists give out that everything is adjusted and the coun try is saved ; but for that very reason I am inclined to believe that we are farther than ever from an adjustment—indeed, there can be but one solution to inspire the nation with confidence, and to give any hope of the future. The more I hear of the manner in which things were conducted at Palermo, the more am I per 'traded of the cowardice and incompetency Of it was not treachery) of the Neapolitan officers, and of the ruffianism of the troops. Whilst the former concealed themselves often and sent forth their troops without commanders, the latter gave them selves up to plunder, and their officers in many casts were not ashamed to participate in it, or at least to purchase. 1 hear of one man, on the authority of an officer, who has diamonds in his possemaion to the value of some thousands of ducats. The military vice-intendant at Palermo declares that his magazines, which were full of stores, were plundered by the Neapolitan soldiers, and that the archives were burnt by the same men, so that he cannot make up his accounts. It is calculated that 56,000 ducats were in his hands, and the disaster may be to him a most satis factory one. In fact, faith has disappeared from the country, fur the tendency of the priestly and polio° government of the Bourbons has for many years been to sap the very foundation of morality and to whitewash the loathsome sepulchre. From Messina, under date of the 18th, we hear that several embarkations from the mainland had taken place, but that the garrison had received no accession om Palermo. Desertions continued, notwithstanding the severest precautions, and the closest guarding of the gates, and the prohibition to the military to leave the city. From Catania we hear that in Biancavilla the country people had taken vengeance of some of their old persecutors. Calabria was quiet. The Neapolitan government had decided that all goods which had been em barked should be exempted from duty on being again landed in Porto Franco. The duties of Sicily were refused in the province of Mesaina and within a few miles of the city. MASSACRE BY PlRATlM—Advisee from Shanghai, April 16th, report that intelligence from Ningpo atates that " another lorcha, the Cleopatra, was taken by pirates 98th March, at the mouth of the river at Wangehow, and all hands supposed to be murdered." From Singapore, under date 14th May, we learn that the Netherland Indian 'argue Fatul Karim, with 500 tons on board, was totally destroyed by fire at Teruate 7th April. Pirates are again beginning to make their appearance in the seas of the Archipelago. Accounts keying been received at Batavia that they hail been observed in the vicinity of Barman, three steamers were immediately sent out in search of them.

The following circular has been issued this day by the Secretary-of-War to the Lord Lieutenants of counties : " WAz Orrica, JUNE 27, 1860. " I have the pleasure of enclosing a copy of a General Order, in which his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has been authorised to express ber Majesty's admiration of the soldier bke bearing of the volunteers reviewed by her Majesty in Hyde Park on Saturday last, and the deep impression made upon her mind by the loyalty and devotion evinced by the volunteer force throughout the whole country. "In communicating this document to you, and requesting you to enclose copies of it to the commanding officers of the various corps in your county, I avail myself of the opportunity to express to you the high grati fication with which her Majesty's government have witnessed the rapid success of the volunteer movement, and the degree of efficiency to which the corps present at the late review have attained. "The zeal and public spirit of the volun teers have added a new and valuable element to our means of defence, and have earned for them the approbation of their Sovereign and the grati tude of the country. "I have, in conclusion, to convey to you the thanks of the government for the assistance which you have afforded me in the raising and organisation of this force, and for the zeal with which you have discharged the onerous duties which have devolved upon you in connexion with it. " I have the honour to be, " Your obedient servant, " Her Majeety's Lieutenant for the County of THE ORPHEONISTS.-THEIR RECEPTION. The following is a translation of a letter which appears in the Times of this morning : " Monsieur le Directeur,—The Orpheonists are enraptured with the reception which has been given them from the day of their landing until the present time. The English nation. tumidly so impassive, has feeed us. Thanks! a thousand times thanks! It pains us to learn that a rumour is abroad that we are paid. This is false. Our Orpheonisfi societies, which include all classes of society, rich and poor, will never consent to sing for money. The Orpheon is an admirable fusion of society ; it has no distinction of caste, we are only singers ; such men are not paid. "We have sung especially to prove to the English nation our sympathy and our ardent desire to see our two countries, already united by commercial relations, united also by mu sical fraternity. Let England also organise its Orpheona. Observe the example which we have set ; 150 societies, of whom much more than three-fourths are strangers to each other, have come at a fixed day and hour, have quitted agricultural operations and city business, to show England the fine organisation of the Orpheons. We hare had much to complain of in the reception we have met with from the hotel-keepers. Their ignoble rapacity has been painful to us. We have been deeply wounded by it. Arriving at 8 o'clock on Sunday night by the South Eastern, those who, happily, were undeeirous of sleeping at the suburb of Islington, traversed the City, re pulsed on all sides. The hotels—Queen's Hotel, Clarence's Hotel, De l'Europe, Leicester-square— had room and we were refused, because we wore oar Orpheoeist badge.. After walking about for two hours, threatened by an official with being left on the pavement, we found a wretched lodging, which we had to quit very promptly on Monday morning. Having left St. Etienne on Friday night, we reached London on Sunday evening, harassed and fatigued, and yet we were unable to get supper at any price. • ' " Receive, &c., "J. Snots, Directeur de la Loire." Yesterday morning, as the Parana was about to sail from Galway, with the mails transferred from the Con. naught, a countermand was received from the Post-offics, directing the mails to be forwarded to Londonderry for shipment in the Palestine, which will sail this evening, However, a telegram has since been received, authorising the mails to be put in charge of Lieutenant Cashman, R.N., and they thus have more than a full day's start of the Palestine. RCOBY SPEECH®.—The Rugby Speeches were delivered on Tuesday last in the Big SchooL There was a large and fashionable attendance. Dr. Temple (the heed master) read the list of old Rugbeians who had obtained honours during the last 12 mouths at both universities. The Queen's gold medal, for the best English Essay on an historical subject, was won by Ormsby. The Latin Essay prize was divided and won by Pirie and Hammond. This subject of the English verse was "The Fall of Venice,* and the prize was obtained by Rhoades, M.A. The 'cholera for 1860 are Barrett and Babitigion. GRELT ROBBERY OP JEWELS FROM RES ROYAL HIGH2IIBB THE DUCHESB 1W MECKLENBURG-STHELITZ.— Yesterday afternoon information wax received at the chief Police-station, Scotland-yard, that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelits, who had just arrived from Germany on a visit to her Majesty, had been plundered of a case of costly jewels, set with diamonds of the most valuable description. Her royal highness travelled in 4 Hanover, Berlin, and Paris, oink, having landed at Dover, came up to the metropolis by railway ; and on reaching Buckingham Palace the jewel cue was discovered to be missing and notwithstanding that several of the most expo rienotd'detectives were at once set to investigate the m►t. ter, up to last evening they had failed to throw any light on the lose of the missing jewela. The articles abstracted, inde pendent of their intrinsic worth, said to exceed 3,000/., are invaluable as family relics and presents from dear friends, and the duchess is consequently in great trouble at their lose. A large reward is offered for the recovery of the jewels. The officers who have been engaged in the inquiry are, however, of opinion that the case was stolen before the duchess niched this country. TEE LIVERPOOL Pore°Nitro CARE.—The coroner's investigation into this case wra proceeded with yes. terday. Thomas Winslow, the person charged with having administered the poison, was not present, the local magistrates having declined to release hint for that purpose from 4mol. Before the proceeding, commenced, Mr. Cobb, solicitor, who appeared on behalf of the prismier, stated that he hail received no instructions from Winslow, and applied for an adjournment The coroner mid that as the evidence of the scientific witnesses, Dr. Cameron and Dr. Edwards (the analytical chemist), was not quite ready, it would be better to adjourn the case until next morning, particularly as Dr. Cameron's evidence was essential to give a key to the other information which would be adduced. The coroner commeuted with some severity upon the anomalous state of the law, which, while recognising the coroner's court as au institutiou, prevented the prisoner from being brought thither, and thus subject. ing him to committal and it might be to execution, without his having Lad an opportunity of henries the evidence against him. The inquiry was then adjourned. MAN KILLED IN A PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.-012 Monday morning a pugilistic encounter took place near Erskine Ferry, on the Clyde. The combatants were Irish men, and came from the Salt-market of Glasgow. Every thing was carried on acconling to the most inviolate rules of the prize ring. Round followed after round, the combatants being cheered on by their reaper tive supporters, until a full hour paned on, at the end of which time Reid. mutilated and disfigured by the blows of his opponent, fell to the ground completely exhausted, and gave in. His friends carried him (for he was totally unable to walk) to the inn at the ferry, where, from the mortal injuries he sustained during the fight, he died in the course of a few hours. M`Lachlau is a young matt of about twenty-two years of age, and Reid was somewhat younger. Death was occasioned by a blow received by de ceased oo the temples. The body was conveyed to Glasgow on Tuesday. The police are still on the look-out for M'Lachhur, who bas absconded. Deceased, who was a powerful man, fought successfully a well-known pugilist named Mooney, near Glasgow, about two months ago. Edinburgh Cut:rant A FURTHER FAIIXRE AT BILSTON.—Mr. T. Johnson, a brother-in-law of Mr. Foster, of the suspended bank, called a meeting of his creditor. on Monday last. Mr. Johnson is an Iron, steel, and tin-plate merchant, car. Irving ou business near to the bank, and himself living on the bank premises. The firm has gone by the name of T. Johnson anal Co., and an account Inc. been kept at the hank, and overdriwn. but not to a very large extent. The meeting, however, which was to be held at the office of Mears. Willis and Hall, solicitors, did not take *op owing to a want of a sufficient nember of creditors assem bling to constitute a meeting. Had the meeting been held, we are informed that the statement which Messrs. Willis and Hall were prepared to make on Mr. Johuson's behalf, would have shown that the creditors would not, if they acceded to Lis proposal, eventually sustain much loss. Mr. Johnson's suspension is not likely to he productive d much inconvenience to others, as his creditors are not more than six in number, and such is their business position that the event would not to them assume tut aspect of great gravity. —Waver/tampion Chronicle. , ,
