Tug telegraphic despatches of the Baltic Admirals published is London on Wednesday last, were, to mere mortal comprehension, simple, straightforward, and seamanlike. Composed, not in the midst of an setter ise when the issue was uncertain, but when the work was dens and ripe for survey, they an nounced that the operations at Sweaborg were "a complete success," and this success was described as the berniog of the nsagszines, dockyards, arsenal, and principal buildings. Although reporting on • finished work, the Admirals did not claim to have destroyed the batteries and fortifications of the place. Our ships, tt was declared, had not received the slightest injury, oar lois in men was trifling, and of killed we had none. If in the face of statements defining so clearly the na tare and limited scope of the attack, the public were ealled to marvel at an achievement "almost miracu lous," and " Swesburg is no more" woe sung to every note of the lyre, the Admirals ought to profit by their own candour, and receive credit at least for stating faithfully what the fleets bad done. The full report by Admiral PritAUD, published yesterday, and that of Admiral DUNDAS, which we give to-day, are in complete harmony with the earlier and shorter despatches of those officers. They de scribe an attack not calculated in the view of its authors to determine the impregnability of Sweaborfl, and not intended so much to destroy the defences of that place as to show their inefficiency to defend. On this head the English Admiral reports: " My former reports will have informed their Lord ships that during the past year. and in the course of the last five months, the enemy has been actively em ployed in strengthening the defences of the place and completing the sea defences, by erecting batteries on every advantageous position end commanding every practicable approach to the harbour in this in tricate navigation. It has, therefore, formed no part of my plan to attempt a general attack by the ships on the defences; and the operations contemplated by the Rear-Admiral sod myself were limited to such destruction of the fortress and arsenal as could be accomplished by means of mortars." The process of destruction and its incidents are fully set forth in the (Adel despatch. Sweaborg is protected as much by the difficulty of its navigation, arising from the intricate nature of its reefs, as by its artificial furtification ; but, notwithstanding this, our seamen boldly took their gunboats and mortar-vessels within range of the enemy's batteries. Stationary, the vessels were a mark for the Russian guns ; in mo tion, they were in danger of the rocks. Neverthe less, so well were they handled, that, while inflicting • terrible flee on the enemy, they escaped almost with impunity. Of the service reformed, the Rus sian Gen'ral, reporting to his government, may assist us to form some idea. In the Invalids Busse, of the 11th inst., he is made to state that "on the 10th at least ten thousand bombs were thrown between 7 o'clock in the morning and 8 in the evening." At midnight, " thirty rockets a minute " were thrown ; at 3 a.m., " tho shower (he says) had not dimi nished ; " between 3 and 4 it was feebler ; but at half-past 4it had " again increased in intensity."

Oa that occaaion he deposited 1,0001., and subse quently he applied on about half-a-dcaen occasions for the discount of excellent paper of small amount. Within the last few months he has availed Minkel( of the credit thus established to negotiate two spurious balls for an aggregate of 8641., as a set-off against which there is a balance of 2061., on his drawing account, apart from anything that may be recovered in use of his capture.

Of the precise extent of the destruction effected at Bweaborg the Admiral gives no certain information; bat it is impossible not to perceive that it was moat serious. Oa the very first day of tho bombardment Gres were seen to break out and extend, feeding on the buildings and exploding the magazines both at Vargon and at Oustafsvard. These conflagrations, which the enemy appears to hays ken totally unable to subdue, presented, in the language of Admiral PENAUD, "one expense of flame" as long as there was food for fire within the range of our mortar.. The Russian loss in men will probably never be ascertained. If the Russian General is sincere in praising the constancy of his troops, and we see no reason to doubt it, their casualties must have been heavy indeed. Admiral PENaUD pride , ' their Bre, as being vigorous if ineffectual; yet again and again the artillerymen were swept from their guns by explosions, and must have suffered terribly under the continuous shower of our projectile's. Bweaborg is now a grimy ruin. Wo do not grudge the Rasaian journals whatever comfort they can ex-, tract from the fact that the sea defences still exist. The Cz sa's new journal, Le Nord, styles this bom bardment a naval 14:e. Oar contemporary is plea sant. Be it so: we can with ease repeat the per formance on every Saint's day of the Russian calen dar. It is a ft:ti that the enemy will celebrate with dirges and requiems. We may gently remind Li Bord that when at the commencement of last winter, with that masterly caution which has so conspicuously distinguished it in two campaigns, the Russian Ad miralty ordered out the half of its Baltic Beet from behind tiweaborg, and joined the fate of these ships with that of ht. Petersburg itself, it destroyed the chief interest of that fortress in the eyes of England and France. - The Pie dmontese Oazette publishes a notice from the general in mainland of the Anglo•ltalian legion, an nouncing that having received numerous applicatioss trim (Atom desirous of joining the legion, he will fix certain dip to comnannicate with them at the British Embassy at Tarin.

LATEST NEWS FROM ABROAD Ltfl+Eß FROM THI BALTIC. TUE BOMBARDMENT OF SWEABORG. (FROM OUR OWN H.M.S. -, OFF NAROIX, 11.00. 13. Here we are again returned to our former anchor age, in company with the greater part of the fleet, after oar late expedition to Sweaborg. The crews of all the ships, but more especially those of the gun boats and mortar vessels, require rest after their very fatiguing exertions. This is the fiat time that this description of craft has been in action to any extent and had a fair trial, and they have not only gallantly earned their spurs and proved their general efficiency, but the greatest credit is due to the offioers and crews for the extra ordinary accuracy with which they fired, and the proficiency made in this branch of the naval service. On Friday evening, the 3rd inst., signal was made by the flag-ship to all the ships assembled at Nargen to prepare to weigh anchor the next morning at 8 o'clock. At the same time, heavy guns were got out of the line-of-battle ships, and placed on board the mortar-boats. Bat as it came on to blow very hard the next morning, the order for sailing was counter manded, and we lay Saturday and Sunday quietly at anchor. On Monday morning we weighed again, as the weather had moderated, and arrived ofi Sweaborg in the evening of the same day. Boats were immediately put out to sweep for infernal ma chines, but none were found, from which we were led , to infer that the Russians did not expect us. Tuesday, the 7th, was spent in preparations for the approaching attack, and the vessels were placed in position. The fleet was also reinforced by two line-of-battle ships, and the rest of the gunboats and mortar vessels from Cronstadt. During the night the French landed a number of guns on an island near Sweaborg, and threw up a beautiful battery of 12 pieces of cannon and 5 mortars, which was completed by Thursday, and duly supplied with ammunition. Oa Wednesday morning we discovered a large building on shore, on which was hoisted a white flag, inscribed with the word " Madhouse," in English. This proved, however, to be only a dodge of the Russians, and was subsequently found to be a powder magazine, which was blown up during the , bombardment. On Thursday, the 9th, after all the preparations had been made, the first shot was fired at half-put 7 a.m., from the French land battery, and the English and French mortar boats commenced throw ing their immense shells, weighing 2181bs. each, the devastating effect of which was prodigious. By degrees the Russians began to return our fire with more spirit than at first, but their shot fell short. At 10 o'clock all the gunboats began putting in their shots in the most beautiful style, and in a very short time a most awful explosion told us that one of the enemy's ammunition magazines was blown up, which was followed by four others in the course of the day. The crews of the line-of-battle ships which remained on board—a great part of them having been drafted into the gunboats to relieve their com rade. at regular intervals—had nothing to do, but look on and witness as idle spectators, out of the range of the enemy's gnus, while the imposing scene going on. About noon several Russian regiments were disco vered on one of the small islands thickly wooded with pine trees, busily engaged in throwing up bat teries, which might have proved highly dangerous to the ships of the Allies if not interrupted in time. Two frigates and a corvette were ordered by sig nal to move up and shell the place, which was speedily done, and the Russians abandoned the island, leaving 500 killed and wounded behind them, whilst tho ships returned to their former stations without suffering the least damage. At 6 p.m. the gunboats and mortar vessels were ordered by signal to report their losses and casualties. The answer was, that one sailor's arm was hart by the fall of a yard, otherwise no damages had been sustained. At 7 p.m. a very severe conflagration broke out, which burned till 10 o'clock the next day, and destroyed several large stores of the Russians. About 10 o'clock p.m., the larger boats of the line of battle ships were put out, and after rowing in close to the shore fired rockets into both Sweaborg and Helsingfors for five hours consecutively with great success. At midnight the vessels in action were supplied with food, water, and ammunition, whilst a pause took place to allow the crews time to rest a little. Friday, the 10th, the bombardment was re-opened about 10 o'clock, and continued without intermission the whole day and the whole night, daring which !our more magazines and a church were destroyed by fire. We estimate the loss of the Russians from our own observations at 1,600 men, sod buildings and other property to the value of a million sterling. Two French boats and an English one were sunk during the day, bat the crews were saved. The French lost 1 man and had 6 wounded, the British 2 wounded. It was generally expected that the bombardment would re-commence on Saturday evening, but it passed quietly as well as the Sunday morning. In the afternoon a Russian gunboat came out to recon noitre, bet a few round shot from the French gun boats caused it to retreat very rapidly. About six p.m., all the boats were ordered to return to their re spective ships, as the ;fleet was to return the next morning to this anchorage. The reason assigned for not landing was the want of land troops, which were absolutely necessary to take possession of the place. However the object in view is gained. The fortress and town ue severely damaged, magazines destroyed, and a great number of the enemy killed. It is now expected that we are shortly going to make a similar experiment on Revel and Cronatadt. On Sunday evening an English yacht, the Pandora, with a party of amateurs—amongst whom was a lady —on board, which had followed the fleet to witness the bombardment, happened to get within range of the enemy's guns, which fired 18 shots at it, but fortu nately they all missed. About 10 o'clock the French captured a Russian boat that had ventured out coo far. This fawning 1(13th) we weighed anchor at four o'clock, and arrived at this anchorage about half-past ten, with all the fleet in company.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. HER MAJESTY'S MO (viola ova owx IN PARIS. BNT.) PARIS, MONDAY Birixnea. This morning her Majesty visited the Universal Exhibition of the Fine Arts, where she was received by the Prince Napoleon, MM. de Meroey (Special Commissioner for the Fine Arts Exhibition), Leplay, Arles, Dufour, and all the members of the jury. "God Save the Queen" was struck up by the band of the Guides as her Majesty entered the building. In the course of her examination of the galleries, it was observed that her Majesty sat down twice be fore M. de Winterhalter's large picture of the Empress and her ladies of honour. This visit will be described to you to-morrow by one of your special correspondents. At two o'clock her Majesty left the Beaux Arts, and proceeded to lunch at the Elyeke, where she received the Corps Diplo matique. After this reception, the Queen went to visit the Saint Chapelle. I was personally present on her arrival there, and can describe what passed, with some detail. It is necessary to explain that the Saint Chapelle—a term applicable generally to any building dedicated to divine worship—is given in Paris par excellence to that small but beautiful ediflce,which is considered one of the finest specimens of the archi tecture of the middle ages, which was built by Saint Louis, king of France (on the site of a very old place of worship erected by king Robert), for the express purpose of containing the relics which his cousin Baldwin, Emperor of Constantinople, had been com pelled by necessity to sell. The church, built at an enormous expense, was called the Sainte Chapelle du Palm's, from its being in the precincts of the PaWs de Justice (the Westminster Hall of France). At 20 minutes to 4 her Majesty, in a car riage and four, accompanied by the Emperor, the Princess Royal, and Prince Albert, drove into the Court-yard of the Palais de Justice, which was orna mented with flags for the occasion, and surrounded by an immense crowd. The flight of stone steps leading up to the Palais (the finest staircase in Paris) was carpeted. On the lower steps of the stairs stood the judges of the Court of Caseation with the president, M. Troplong at their head, M. Abbettnoci, the Minister of Justice, M. Hausman, the Prefect of the Seine, M. Royer, the Procureur-General, and several presi dents of courts and other judges. As her Majesty alighted, the " Gerdes de Pans " played " God save the Queen." The Emperor gave his arm to the Queen, and presented her to M. Troploug, M. Abbat tucci, and M. Royer. Her Majesty rested a few moments on the first landing of the stair case to admire the architecture of the Palais de Justice and the exterior of the Sainte Chapelle. During this momentary halt, six Imperial carriages drove up in succession. From the first descended the Prince of Wales, Lord Clarendon, and two ladies of the English court. The other carriages were all filled by gentlemen. The Queen, followed by the Princess Royal, leaning on the arm of Prince Albert, and by the gentlemen in .her suite, proceeded to the Saint Chapelle. It was remarked that her Majesty, although she had passed a long morning sight-seeing, looked exceedingly well, not the least tired, and took the most evident interest in the scene. After passing but a very few moments in the interior, the Queen, still leaning on the Emperor's arm, came out of the chapel and descended the stairs. About halfway down the stairs she drew the (Emperor off the carpet to the extremity of the bannis ters, and pointed with much vivacity with her pa rasol to the restored steeple of the Sainte Chapelle, evidently asking for some information concerning it. Her Majesty remained so short a time in the Sainte Chapelle, that when, on the cortege leaving by the Rue Constantin, it was found that the gendarmes and sergena de villa remained and prevented circulation in front of the Palais de Justice, many thought that the Queen had not visited the chapel at all, but that after making one or two turns in the hall of the Peals de Justice, a sudden thought struck her that she would like to see something else first, and that she was comiog trick again. This theory after being much discussed was, on the whole, thought absurd, and the more reasonable one was broached that the troops were ordered to keep the people back, for a certain time, lest their curiosity should lead them to rush over the bridge and block up her Majesty's pas sage on the (other side of the river. I happened, however, to hear the real truth from an old woman in the crowd. Her Majesty desired, in addition to what was specified in the day's pro gramme, to visit the metropolitan church—the famous Notre Dame; she had gone thither, and the road was still kept clear, because it was proposed that she should return to rearms the water by the Pont au Change. I was fortunate enough to arrive at the portico of Notre Dame in time to see bee Majesty received by the Archbishop of Paris, who, at a very short notice, was in waiting at the head of his clergy, in ordinary costume. The Sisters of Charity (to th e number of about fifty), who minister to the sick, at the hospital of the Hotel Dieu, were on the steps of the church in their whits dresses. On the Queen alighting from her carnage, the Archbishop ad dressed her in nearly the following terms: " Madam—Permit me to express to yea the hearty good Irish's of the clergy of Paris for your Majesty, and for the rest alliance which his already accomplished so many great things, and for which such high destinies w reserviod. " • • • - • • • - • The Queen graciously bowed in acknowledgment of this speech, and then entered into conversation with the Archbishop, and walking by his side, entered the interior of the church, and went directly to the Tres sury, where she inspected the brilliant plate and precious articles there colluded. In about • quarter of an hour her Majesty quitted Notre Dante. The cortege then returned to the Falai. do Justice, crossed , the water by the Pont as Change, and passed at s slow pace by the splendid relic of the 12th century, the tower (lately restored), which is all that remains 'of the old Church of St. Jacques la Botioherie, and which !authors tower is now one of the principal orna ments of the Paris of the revived empire. Following the new Rue Rivoh, her Majesty soon came in sight of the Hotel de Ville, where she again alighted, and remained a few minutes. On leaving the Hotel de Ville the Royal and Imperial party went at a rapid pace aloes the Rae St. Antoine to the Bastille, and thee aloe/ the whole length of the Boulevards to the Champs El sees, sad thence home to St. Cloud. Their reoeption alcug the Boulevards, where all the flags whisk h&.d been brought out for the triumphal entry of Saturday rmsi, was most enthoaisstic. AMERICA. talfl/.. , ••• telelaaekis suatiaary of the following appeared la yes terday's Bapreas.] LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. By the arrival yesterday at noon of the United States mail steam ship Atlantic, Captain Briggs, we have advice from New York to the Bth instant, Cali fornia to the 16th of July, and Havana to the 2nd of August. The Atlantic brought 110 passengers and half a million of dollars in specie. Ske re_ports the arrival at Boston on the 2nd inst. of the Royal Mail steam ship Asia hence ; at New York, on the 4th, of the Vanderbilt steam ship Arie from Southampton and Havre; and at the same port on the Bth of the Collins steam ship Baltic from Liverpool. The steamer, Northern Light, arrived at New York on the 4th inst., with the Californian advice and 940,000 dollars in treasure. A frightful riot occurred on the 7th inst., at an election at Louisville, by which a great injury to life and property was occasioned. It was caused thus: In the first ward, as two gentians* were riding in a CAT rise they were fired at from a house oontaiaiag Germans or Irish. One gentleman was wounded, sad the firing was repeated, when Edward William., watchman of the Seated ward, Joseph Selvage and John Latta, Americans, went to the scene of the trouble, red they also were fired at. Latta had his leg badly shattered by a musket ball, and Selvage and Williams were also wounded. Euggsrated reports then spread to the lower parts of the city in regard to the affair, causing a large crowd to assemble, thirsting for re venge. They gatherea around the house from where the firing had camelopard, took two Christens from it and beat them so badly that their recovery is considered very doubt ful. The house was then completely sacked. The crowd then proceeded to the houses on the corner of Shelby and Madison streets, from whence Germans had been seen firing, riddled two groceries, a beerhouse, and two houses, all owned and occupied by Germans, and in jured severely several of their inmates. They then went to Jefferson-street, where a party of gentlemen coming into the city had been fired upon from a large brewery, sacked the houses around it, burned the brewery, and beat a 'Lumber of Germans whom they captured terribly, and also shot an Irishman, who died this moraing. In the street below an American was slightly injured by a shot, whoa the Irishman who fired it was captured, beaten, and Mot. Shots had been fired from all the houses which wore attacked. The crowd now talked of sacking the Catholic Church, where it was rumoured firearms had been secreted ; but Mayor Barbee and others pleaded with them not to do so, and prevailed upon them to leave it alone. The disturbances were now supposed to be over, as the crowd had marched to an engine house in the fifth ward with their cannon, and were beginning to disperse; but after awhile it was learned that while the troubles had been going on in the upper part of the city, several persona had been fired on in the lower part of Main-street, and that at about five o'clock in the afternoon, two Americans had been shot at from an Irish house on the corner of Main and Chapel-streets, and this without the slightest provocation being given on their part, as far as could be learned; and this started the disturbances afresh. The Irishman who shot Rhodes was then taken, and immediately hung, but was cut down before life became satinet. Thirty or more shots were fired from the Irish home on the corner of Main and Chapel-streets, and it is impossible to ascertain the number that were wounded. ----- The inmates of a row of Irish houses, owned by a man named Quinn, fired on a party who were passing by, when they turned upon their assailants, burned their houses, and killed several, all of whom were Irishmen. . . Some of tie Irishmen in these hoagies were burned to I death. A woman and Quinn are among those who were killed. Eight to ten houses were destroyed, and the nun. ber burned to death and killed is said to be from fifteen to twenty. _ _ Late accounts from Florida represent that the In dians about Fort Myers remained quiet, but that they had no idea of emigrating to the West. The troops enjoyed excellent health. The Pennsylvania papers are filled with accounts of terrific rain storms, floods, dams carried away, barns struck by lightning, horses and cattle killed, &c. In one township four barns, one grist mill and a dwelling house, were either injured or totally de stroyed by lightning on the 7th instant. The news from California is interesting. Oa the 12th ult., Messrs. A. A. Cohen, late re oeivers of the assets of Adams and Co., and J. C. Wands, a member of that firm, were charged with frauds to the amount of 400,000 dollars, by Judge Chambers, of the late firm of Page, Bacon, and Co. In an affidavit of Judge Chambers, he alleges that the firm of Adams and Co. have been engaged for several years in palming off inferior dust upon the firm of Page, Bacon, and Co.; that • regularly organised band of disguised accomplices had been maintained in the various mining districts of the interior, where gold dust is bought and sold. The defendants were held to bail in the sum of 420,000 dollars each, and an order for arrest was issued by one of the courts. They have published • card re futing the charges preferred. Mr. Dillon, the French consul, had become involved in a quarrel with the agent of some French property owners, and the misuuderstanding would have led to a hostile meeting but for a difference of opinion as to the weapons to be used on the occasion. Dillon had no relish for small swords at last accounts. A number of duels had taken plume. Mr. Lippincott and Mr. Tevis had a meeting at Downieville on the 14th ult.; Tevis was shot through the heart—weapons, shot guns, distance forty paces. The news from Lower California is important. The steamer Sierra Nevada, which arrived at San Francisco on the 16th ult., had 31 fatal cases of cholera on board. Energetic efforts had been taken to prevent the spread of the disease. A fire broke out in San Francisco on the 4th of July, and before it could be checked nearly eighty thou sand dollars worth of property was destroyed. From the mines all accounts agree in pronouncing the present one of the most successful years since the discovery of the gold. The number of workmen was steadily increasing, and the yield will probably exceed that of any other twelve months in the history of California. The State was generally healthy. CoL Kinney arrived at St. Juan on the 16th ult., with twenty-four men. Col. Walker was at Leon, and it is stated that, having become disgusted with the treachery of his allies, he contemplated joining the government party. Costa Rica, it seems, has de termined to take a hand in the war, with the deter mination and the means to crush out filibusteriam entirely. We cave files of papers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the former up to the 14th July, and the latter to the 21st. The insurrectionary or democratic move ment in Nicaragua was in a state of disruption, and many of the chiefs had crossed the frontier into Costa Rica. Some Nicaragua troops also crossed the frontier and made arrests on the Costa Rica ter ritory of refugees who had sought and obtained the protection of the government. Still further compli cations are therefore probable from this violation of international law. The Provisional Dictator of Nicaragua had issued a eirenkr to the clergy, asking them to exhort their flocks to rally round the govern ment for the protection of their altars and firesides. In this manifesto the filibusters are represented as ready to defile the holy of holies and to set up an abominable creed instead of that which was the faith of their Nicaragua lathers. We have later news from the Sandwich Islands. The aeath of the Ron. A. Paki, the last of the family of the old chiefs, is about the only event of intere.t recorded in the papers. By the steamship Oswald, arrived at New Orleans July 25, we have important news from Mexico, dated to the 19th ult. Santa Anna had, of his own accord, proposed the formation and inauguration of a new constitution, is a circular addressed to the governors of the different departasata and provinces. The re volutionary party had proclaimed this as a sign of weakness and insecurity on the part of his highness, mad a sure omen of their ultimate success; whilst most of the government newspapers say that on such a subject the opinions or feelings of organised ban. ditti were not consulted. It was reported that Oen. Comoufort had been defeated. The Secretary of War, Blanco, had an interview with him near Michoacan. Senor Itorbe made a liberal and enlightened address to the Legislative Council, in which he sketched out the reforms needed by the country and its people, in the presence of Santa Anna.

It is believed that a cause might be found, and a remedy applied. DUBLIN, Auo. 20. Theßoyal County Limerick Regiment, under Lieut.- Colonel Dickson, expect to sail for Gibraltar, ofsoeni and men baying volunteered for foreign service. The Limerick Chronicle Bays: "An officer in ocualmad of a distinguished cavalry regiment is about to ri t i n R p m half-pay, receiving 14,0001. from his suemnsor." GUNPOWDER FOR TUE CRIMEA.—Nearly 400 tong of guspowder are now ready for embarkation; it will be shipped in copper barrels, hermetically sealed. A Isle number of invalid artillerymen, sappers and miners, sad pensioners have been employed in the Arsenal atWoolarich, in order to expedite the charging of shells and filling and preparing rockets for the Crimea. It is understood that the above-mentioned stores will be shipped in sailieg 'smell far safety, but in order to avoid delay on the passage, from mg. trary or light winds, a steam transport will accompany meet sailing vessel, for the purpose of towing when it may be required. THE FOREIGN LEGION. Yesterday evening large body of volunteers for the German Fersige Legion arrived by railway from Hull, and were billetted fot the night. This morning the men, who are all t►ll and &Gila*, having been mustered, proceeded, ender the command of an officer, by the Bonth•Etatern Railway to Folkestone, we route for the camp at Shorncliffe. The Gtatton ateam-floating battery, accompanied by the Horatio, 24,put into Falmouth on the 18th ; they would seise a favourable opportunity of getting to sea, to CMOs the Bay of Biscay in as smooth water as possible. The Meteor was reported in her way down Channel to have behaved very badly, the sea ping completely over her deck; the (Batton, on the contrary, is highly spoken of, and as having done exceedingly well. On Sunday Lieutenant-Colonel Wemya, Kilkenny Fusiliers, placed in the regimental orders of the day his re signation of the command of that corps. Major Tighe will be raised to the command. The North York Rifles being under orders to leave their hsad-quarters for the barracks at Bradford, on Friday deposited in the parish church of Richmond their pair of colours, which bad been presented to the regiment by the lath Princess Amelia, daughter of his Majesty King Georg. 111., and embroidered with her own hands.

Hodgene (late curate of Deane) hal been appointed a chaplain to the forces in the Eut, to sins at the Pirsees. A letter from Constantinople, in La Prase, states that General Canrobert, in taking leave of the French 1 army, promised them that he would soon return. The Invalide Rune publishes a narrative by a Rostrum officer, lately restored to freedom, of his stifferinp and haidsbips while a prisoner at Constantinople. ThO treatment experienced there by the Russian prisonen is bitterly complained of. A despatch, addressed by General Beatson to the Turkish Minister of War, states that the City of the Duds miles is quiet again, and that the Bashi•Basouks, purged of the more turbulent elements, have returned to their duty.

It is understood that on the 18th of next month, on the day of the Nativity, the Pope will proclaim in full Conaiatory, the creation of a new order, the Order of the Immaculate Conception. ' A letter from Genoa states that the comments in our Parliament and in the French press have awakened the hopes of the middle classes of Naples and greatly frightened the authorities. INTERFERENCE OF THE ALDERSUOTT CARP WITH TIM MILL ST/11•Me.—We stated some weeks ago that the enormous consumption of the Basingstoke canal water by Aldersbott camp had affected the traffic, and prevented the barges from having a sufficient depth of water to travel. After sundry conferences between the Canal Company and the Ordoanoe-oflicr, it was at length agreed that the former shook' be paid 101. • week, as compensation, until final arrangements could be made. Since that time the government have purchased Fleetpond, a large large of water, three and a half miles round, not far from Aldershott. The mill at Fleetpond NAM felt the eff.ets of the eh *opt, and the miller sou com pensated for giving up possession. But the military authorities began impounding the water which formerly flawed oat of the Fleetpond at a certain Le:ght, into I stream which passed under the canal and dually fiJwed into the Loddon between Sheffield and Riselsy-mill. Another stream, called the Deepford has been affected by the camp supply. As a matter of course the diminution of the supply to the Loddon was a serious injury to the mills on that stream. The owners and occupiers of these mills have therefore commenced actions against the government for diverting the supply from their mint ' and will, doubtless. obtain compensation, as the quantity brought into the Lod don by the two tributary streams formed at least one twentieth of the whole of the river. S.pno years ago (in 1820, we believe) the Basingstoke Canal Company at tempted to divert the supply from these sources to increase 1 the depth in their navigation, bet an action was commenced by Mr. Billinge, of Twf ford, Messrs. Simonds, of Shear sham, aid Mr. May, of Sandford, and the company finding they " had not • leg to stand on," suffered judgment to by default,end abandoned the practice complained of.— Barks/41re Chronicle.

PHRENOLOGY.—The Wallington Intelligencer ex tracts the following passage from a sermon, recently preached by the Rev. H. W. Beecher :—" And I may say here, what I have said before in the pulpit, that this views of the human mind, as they are revealed by phreno logy, are those views which have underlaid my whole mientry ; and if I have bad any success in bringing tau truths of the Gospel to bear practically upon the minds at mss, vary sueeeea in the vigorous application of truths to title wants of the human soul, where they are moat needed, I owe it to the clearness which I have gained from thin science; and I could not ask for the members of my family. nor of a church, any better preparation for religious index trinekion than to put them in possession of such a media kuowledgs of the human soul as is given by phrenology." A FRENCH TRANSPORT ON FIRE.—ANTWERP. AUGUST 18.—The William Metcalfe (French transport), loaded with fodder for the army in the East, took fire ms the coast of Algeria, in the night of 22nd July, and wee sunk.
