TO OUR READER& SPORTING DITILLIOEWL A late edibles of the Eeprais is published every v% ening derisi the racing season, containing the ...sults of the day's laces. Au. our readers, we are sure, have been struck with the highly dramatic scene in the Probate Court described in our law reports yesterday. Saw may hare most admired the forensic skip with which a successful charlatan was stripped, or rather brought to strip himself, of his academic disguise and to confess that it was stolen; others have wondered how a career of imposture could be carried on so long publicly without detection ; and some probably have asked themselves what pro tection the public have naiad the ignorant quack when they find that a man may be in fraudulent possession not only of the certificates which the law requires of a medical practitioner, but of others giving him rank in a learned body. On the morning of Wednesday last, private business unfortunately took DAVID ODIFIIIIIS Jonas, of 43, Woburn-place, into Sir C. Canesweses Court. He went in as Doctor of Medicine, of Marimba' CoUege, Aberdeen ; Master of Arta (University unknown) ; Member of the Royal College of Sur geons ; Prosector to the Clamart Dissecting School at Paris ; Assistant Surgeon Aocoucheur of the Clinique d'Accoucbement, Paris ; Fellow of the Dapuytren Society ; Honorary Member of the (French) Medical Society of Paris; and late Pre sident of the (English) Medical Society of Paris; author of "Original Views on Inflammation," and theses on numberless errors of prevailing medical practice. And he came out self-convicted of having acquired the principal of these distinc boos by fraud, and of maintaining it by perjury, and with the strong presumption that he had no better title to the others. It appears clear that the authorities of Mariachal College, Aberdeen, granted the degree of Doctor of Medicine to Davin Gammas Jonas in 1853. Whether they bad a right to confer degrees in me dicine at all was at the time matter of dispute, the University and King's Colleges, Aberdeen, claiming to be the only body in Aberdeen so ertitled. It is now, however, clear that Jos= never was at Mariachal College, or even at Aberdeen. These dispensers of degrees affected to re. iuire the attendance of candidates, and to humour them, Juts, with a wise self-distrust, sent up a clever scamp named Ravi to pass the prescribed examination. To exposing his ignorance in the North, he preferred exhibiting his learning in the South, so while Reeve passed a " brilliant " examination" in his name, he remained at Chipping Norton delivering lectures ad plipubtm on the mysteries of medicine, and courting the future Mrs. JONES. This was well brought out by Sir Jour HARDING, the Queen's Advocate, on cross-examination. duxes had already committed himself to the assertion that he had been in per son to Aberdeen, and acquired the degree of M.D. by examination, so he had to support that statement by any extent of lying that might prove necessary. Thus he gave the date of his journey, the number of hours he was on the road, and the time of his arrival. The Queen's Advocate then led him on to describe what he did there. Witmer— I west to the Railway Hotel, where I slept. When I Kee I walked to the warp It took me a quarter of as hoer. Sir J. Hardiag— Ob, did it! Come, I know Abereissm pretty well myself. And so you mesa to my that you walked from the nulway to the Marimba! College is a quarkr of as hour. Well, what did you do thee Witness—l asked to set; the secretary, who mode me ap point:nest with me fur the seal day. I went spin the den day, sad was =anise& I wrote papers. The wretched man was now thoroughly in forla dreadful exposure. T'ue name of Razes was adroitly introduced by Sir Jon Is Hawn:cu. The witness admitted he knew him ; he had had a mis understanding with him on the subject of the Aberdeen examination—no—it was an under standing. The tisurt—Well, what is it ! Witte.

He wished me to pass that em. minatiou ; and he wa, paid for passing two examinations to me. In a metropolis like London, one false reputa tion more or less is not of so much consequence that we should care, under ordinary circumstances, to give prominence to its extinction. But the career of this man illustrates a practice, of which his fraudulently obtained degree was an instru ment, a practice most detrimental to the interests of the public and of the honest practitioner of medicine. London abounds with medical men, honourable and well-educated, who readily adapt their practice to the habits and necessities of those amongst whom they reside. From the consult ing physician, only seen in severe crises, to the member of the College or Hall who does not disdain to see his poor neighbours in an open surgery, all are ready to place the resources of art and science within roach of rich and poor alike. The certificates of the Examining Boards of London are of the highest value, being, under the revised regulations of recent years, given only after a severe ordeal has been successfully passed. Of the doctor's degree it may be said that that of the University of London is the highest authentication that medical ability can receive within the three kingdoms. The pro fession then has done its part to protect the public against imposture. But nothing that it can do, nothing that it could do, if it were armed with those high powers which some of its injudicious members desire for it, can supply the want of pru dence and judgment on the part of the public themselves. The successful career of the pre tender who has just been unmasked reminds us that this sound judgment is not always exercised. `• Doctor " Joan; has kept a fine house and a cartivge and pair out of the vanity of the half educated, foolishly applying to his scientific quali fications, which they were not qualified to esti mate, that judgment which might have guided them safely had it been exercised on points of character and conduct sufficiently obvious to remark. He has been the lecturer on health at Temperance-halls and third rate Literary Institutions ; he has laid himself out to catch by the lowest arta the guineas of the poor, and it would astonish those who do not know what hard working thrifty people will do when the head of a family is in danger, how ready the poor are to part with their few guineas, to a practitioner recommended by a little irregularity. There are now in London hundreds of medical men, highly skilful and thoroughly educated, who would emi grati, enlist in the army, or do anything not dishonourable, rather than descend to the low art of putting and touting for practice. The charlatan gladly takes what they leave, and finds it a rich mine. He has his theories and his little books, written to order ; he is the ostentatious friend of popular enlightenment, ever ready with his gra tuitous lectures, designed to prepare the way to fees. He invents learned societies, and constitutes himself their president, and in all these ways he marks himself out as plaint y as ho can to sensible people as a man to be shunned. As to others, they may have to wait, until intoxicated with success, he rushes into a court of justice, and there encounters late in his course the shrewd ex amination he shunned at its beginning, before they learn the dishonesty of which they have been the victim. If people would only choose their doctors as cautious men choose their lawyers, not because they have sat in judgment on their legal opinions, but because they have confidence in their known character and ability, we should have fewer ex posures like this of Dr. GRIFFITHS JONES. WARN the Convocation of York has adopted the Canon on the subject of Godparents lately passed by tllb Convocation of Canterbury, the Crown Lawyers will be called upon, in terms of her MAJLSTY'N license to Convocation, to advise her MAJTATY whether this new Canon " be or be " not contrary or repugnant to the doctrines, " orders, and ceremonies of the Church of Eng " land already established." With the result which the clergy suppose them selves to be able to compose by the alteration of the 29th Canon of 1604 we have no quarrel. We believe the objection to the exclusion of parents from sponsorship to their own children is as wide as we think it well founded. We are not only glad that the clergy are ready to meet the popular wish on the subject ; but still more so that the first movement to remove the grievance has emanated from them. But anxious as we are to aid the clergy in this matter, and to remove an ordinance which is only working injury to the Church, we cannot consent to do so by overlooking or impairing one of the first principles, if not the very first principle, of our oonstitution. The clergy seem to think that by canons they can impose laws and ordinances on the national Church, can modify them or abrogate them. In affirming, as they now do, that by repeal ing the 29th Canon parents can become sponsors, they pretend that by a canon of the clergy they could be excluded. The claim is very absurd, though receiving some countenance from the too easy indifference with which the Crown was advised to comply with the request of Convoca tion that it might deal with this Canon. But, absurd as it is, and mischievous as it is likely to prove only to the clergy, it must be resisted. No law can, either directly or in directly, or in the remotest possible degree, affect the most insignificant of the people of England, or the most insignificant interest of the most insignificant individual, if it has not been made or sanctioned by Parliament. This first and most leading principle of our Consti tution bas never been more clearly announoed or never more earnestly vindicated than where the Church has stood face to face with the secular power, notably in the very question of the autho rity of canons. If the Prayer-book or the Articles which by statute give doctrines, orders, and ceremonies to the Church of England do not exclude parents from the sponsorship, a canon cannot do so. If the Prayer-book either directsor implies the exclusion, • canon cannot avail to admit them. But no one at all cognizant of the matter doubts that the ex clusion is implied by the Prayer-book. Let parents be admitted, but let there be no pottering with ineffectual canons, let there be no counte nance of the claim or opinion that the clergy can give laws to the national Church. Let the remedy be sought where only it can be found, namely, in Parliament. We call upon the Crown Lawyers not to treat this matter lightly. The laity of Eng land will not coneent.to be dictated to in matters ecclesiastical or spiritual by an irresponsible clergy. Every movement in that direction will only loosen still more the bold which an established church ma retain over the people. If Convocation had been wise, • supposition more flattering than probable, it would have re quested the Bishops to have brought into Parlia ment an act declaring what their new Canon declares. If the advisers of the Crown are really anxious to afford to the clergy and the pubic the relief they desire, they will, rather than consent to the Canon, bring in oath a bill themselves. It does not need to occupy more than a very few lines. Int Court. OSBORNE, JOLT 5.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. NEW YORK, JUNK 25. The situation of affairs is thus summarised in the New York Herald of to-day : A wawa dyer wee held at Washington yesterday, but many of the military chiefs did not attend. Of course no information as to the subjects under deliberation has reached ua, nor have we heard of any important military movement taking place in the vicinity of the Federal capital The mounted pickets of the rebels in the direction of Ball's Cross Roads and Fall's Church are very troublesome to the Ohio and Connecticut regiments stationed at those points, which form the extreme outposts of the Union army on the Virginia side of the Potomac. They make constant attacks on the *entries, and pick off any of the men who happen to stray outside the lines. On Sunday night they succeeded in cutting the telegr.tph wires which connect our outposts with the war department. The Ohio and Connecticut regiments are compelled to sleep on their arms every night. The New York 37th Regiment arrived in Waahington yesterday. The operations of General Lyon's command in Missouri are assuming a highly important character, as can be seen by the direction in which both the union and rebel troops are hastening. The north-western corner of the state appears to be the point upon which all the energies of both armies are now directed, and the manifest object is to get pommies of the Granby lead MiDell is that quarter, together with all furnishing machinery. Gomel Lyon is pushing on his forces in the direction of the lead district. Colonel Seigel's regiment was within three days' march of Springfield on Saturday, which is a short distance north of the Granby mince, and Colonel Solomon's regiment was only one day's march behind. Colonel Brown's regiment left Rolla on Sunday morning in the same direction, and Colonel M'Neill's regiment left St. Louis for Rolla at the same time. General Rolla himself is on his way down to Booneville, marching for the same point, while General Montgomery is marching down with the union troops from Kane. Meantime the rebel fortes are pushing in from both sides, north and south, towards the lead mines. Governor Jackson at last accounts had got as far as Warsaw, about halfway between Booneville and Springfield, where he was joined by the state (rebel) troops who had attacked Captain Cook's command at Camp Cole, and the whole force was pushing rapidly south ward. Rebel troops from irkaness, under Col. M`Cullock, are congregated in large force at Pocahontas, Tenn. ; and it is reported from South-Eastern Missouri that General Walker is organising troops in nearly all the countries in that por tion of the state to co-operate with the Arkansas, forces. A large number of rebels from Missouri are already congre gated, and arms have been taken up White River to them from the South. The destination of all these troops is undoubtedly the Granby mines. Thus, it will be seen that it is a regular Derby race for the prize of the lead mines ; each party is striving to get there first. The vicinity of Harper's Ferry is entirely deserted by the rebels; the last scouting party was seen there last Thuraday. Although Harper's Ferry has been evacuated for • week pest, it is not yet occupied by our troops. Re ports from liartinsburg state that the rebels have burned 48 locomotives and a large amount of property of tho Bal timore and Ohio Railroad Company in that vicinity. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tributes ea) s The rebels have made two propositions of peace to the administration. The one contemplates the complete recog nition of the Southern Confederacy with • treaty of com merce and friendship, and perhaps an annual subsidy of 6,000,000 dols. from the United States for giving us their protection against foreign and domestic enemies. The other, which is still under consideration, consents to a suspension of hostilities, • laying down of arms, and ex tension of the line of 36.30 deg. to the Pacific. Perhaps censorious people may see some immediate cminexion be tween these facts, the supineness of both armies on the other side of the Potomac, and the indignation mauifeated towards the rapid energy of General Lyon and Colonel Blair in Missouri. It is possible that the two houses of Congress, fresh as they are from the ranks of the people, will be so impertinent am to inquire into the history of this tampering with traitors in re ion. The came correspondent states that the reason why Harper's Ferry was not occupied a week ago is that the general commanding there is imbecile or traitorous, and failed to obey the orders of General Scott. He also states that no vigorous military movement is intended by the adminiatra tion, and that the war is to be dragged along until the people, weary of armies without action and taxes without triumphs, can be brought to consent to some compromise like that of Mr. Crittenden. The banks of Milwaukee have been attacked by the mob, and much damage done. The Zouaves were ordered out, and charged the mob, which im mediately dispersed. About 50 rioters were ar rested. The governor has declared martial law, and telegraphed for troops. The steamship Ariel has arrived at New York with 1,000,000 dollars in specie. The Golden Age sailed from San Francisco for Panama on the 11th, with 850,000 dollars in treasure. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred and suite arrived at Hamilton, Canada West, on the 24th inst., and left the same day for Toronto. It is reported from Washington that General Beauregard had for the present abandoned the idea of a general attack on the Federal troops, but recommended a guerilla system of warfare, and urged the engagement of the Federal outposts at every opportunity in order to draw them into the traps set for them in the shape of ambuscades and masked batteries. A despatch from St Louis, dated 22nd June, says: Captain Totten's command returned to Syracuse yester day afternoon, having given up the pursuit of Governor Jackson. Troops are docking rapidly to the State standard. General Baines had arrived in advance of some 1,300 from the south-west. It is thought that one or both of the Kansas regiments now stationed on the borders of that state, with Captain Prince's regulars at Kamm city. will come down the Missoari river in boats, and reach Lexington simultaneously with the forces under General Lyon. Captain Steele, of the United States cavalry. resigned at St. Joseph on the 18th inst., awl left for Virginia. The Sante Fe correspondent of the Saint Louis Repu6- lima reports that one captain and two lieutenants of the United Mates army recently stationed at Fort Stanton have relived. Govenior Jackson, with about 600 men, pared Camp Cele, on the 90th inst., pushing south, and probably for Arkaessa. The State troops have evacuated Lexington, and are marching towards Arkansas, 5,000 strong. Ben M'Cul. loch is reported to be at Maysville, Arkansas, with a force at 15000 men, and considerable artillery. _ _ _ _ _ The correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from the Federal camp at Fortress Monroe, says, "There is no doubt that the enemy in this sec tion of the State is displaying more tact and strategy than the Union side, and unless strong reinforcements of regulars and volunteers, under educated military men, be sent here forthwith, at Big Bethel and Yorktown the enemy can at any time cut off land communication between Newport News and Fortress Monroe, and if in sufficient force may erect land batteries on the northern front of sufficient size to annoy the trans port steamer that plies between Newport News and the fortress. There is not that esprit de corps existing among our troops here that ought to characterise the army ; the Big Bethel affair has diminished the confidence of our troops in the ability of their leaders. Unless this confidence is restored I have little hopes of the success of our arms." The Chicago Tines says that it is authoritatively stated that 4000 Missouri rebels left Point Pleasant, 80 miles below Cairo, for Memphis, on Thursday last. It is also reported the Missourians are crossing the Arkansas river in large numbers for Yelville, the country seat of Marion country. The Washingtonoorrespondent of the New York Herold writes that the Federal government intend proposing to Congress to defray the expenses of the war by a national loan, to be raised by open ing subscription lists in all the towns and counties of the loyal States, under the auspices of the post masters and local treasurers. Amounts varying from twenty to one thousand dollars to be received, the smaller subscriptions to have the preference. Treasury certificates bearing seven per cent. interest, and having three years run, will be issued. According to a statement furnished by Secretary Cameron to President Lincoln for a message to Congress, about 225,000 volunteers are now mustered into the United States service. It is stated that the seosission feeling is reviving ;•• in Baltimore • that the Union packets have lat e ly been frequent:lj fired upon. General M Maud arrived at Grafton, Western Virginia, on the 23rd inst., but it was not known what movement was intended from that point. The Lotriaville Democrat states that it is very probable that Mr. Breckinridge will not claim a seat in Congress. The New York Herald states the moat important questions which will be discussed at the extra session of Congress, will be :-1. Sanction for ' the President's movements. 2. A uthurising a loan of two or three hundred million dollars. 3. An act authorising the vigorous prosecution of the war. 4. A modification of the present tariff 5. A bank rupt law. 6. A tax on tea and coffee. 7. A direct tax in absence of sufficient revenue from customs. The election return: - receivea - f;;M Kentucky up to the present time show that nearly all the Union candidates have been elected. The (Aso of the British prize PriLs schooner Tropic Bird, is to be carried into the United States Supreme Court. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAT. The Royal Mail steamship Asia, which sailed to day for New York, took 109,6601. 14a. 2d. in specie on freight. ITALY. TURIN, JULY 6. The Goutia di Torino of to-day says :—" We have reason to believe that the state of the Pope's eslth is very serious." Kossuth has arrived at Turin. The italic of to-day denies the authenticity of the proclamation, stated by some Italian papers to have been addressed by General Pinelli to the in habitants of Terra di Lavoro. The fire in the manufactory of Messrs. Lefevre, at Naples, was purely the result of accident. HUNGARY. PESTH, JULY 6. The address, as originally proposed by M. Deak, was adopted by the lower house of the Hungarian Diet. It is said that it will be presented to the Emperor in the same manner as the address of 1790. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JULY 5. The official Staataanzeiger of this evening pub lishes a royal manifesto, countersigned by all the ministers, according to which the coronation of the King and Queen of Prussia will take place at Konigsberg in October next.

The minister garrisoned his house with 250 men and two guns. The Nawab's troops attacked the house and over powered the minister, who, with two brothers, was killed lighting sword in hand. Measures will be taken to look after the ex- Nawab of Bhawulpore, and to secure the frontier and prevent interference. No excitement now exists in the &Atha] dis tricts. Mr. Laing sailed for England in the Colombo on the 9th inst. The Nizam of Hyderabad expressed to the Resi dent his determination to dismiss his minister, Saler Jung. He has since been reconciled to the minister. The circulation, under the frank of the Bengal Secretariat, of the printed translation of a Bengal play called Nil Buyent, crested new excitement among the indigo planters. The printer was pro secuted for libel by the Englishman newspaper. He pleaded "Guilty," and has been Sued 10 rupees. Funds.—Fives, at 4r. 4a. to br. 6a. discount.

Advioes from Beyrout, of the 27th ult., state that Fuad Pacha had caused to be distributed and posted up in the Mountain the imperial decree, appointing Daoud Pacha Christian governor of the Lebanon. This document is followed by a pro clamation, in which Fuad Pacha makes himself the guarantee of the now chief, and announces that he will apply himself to reconcile the different interests of the Mountain. He concludes by saying that the Porte has come to an understanding with the European powers on the subject of all the measures which have been adopted. Count de Bentivoglio, the French consul, has gone through the different districts, distributing assistance to the poor, and addressing the strongest assurances of protection to all. Vice-Admiral Le Baron de Tinan had sect linen and medicine from the squadron to the French Sisters of Charity who are attending the sick. A letter from Corfu of the 28th ult. says :—" This little island, already, u head-quarters of the dun under Rear• Admiral Decree, a centre of attraction, is now honoured with the presence of no less a personage than her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Austri► All salutes and guards of honour have been dispensed with at her express desire, and she landed yesterday in a pirate manner at a country house, which has been placed at her disposal by the Lord High Commissioner. This house, which is known by the name of the Casino. is situated on a pleasing eminence overlooking th - e - sea, and distant about a mile from the town of Corfu. It was built by Sir Frederick Adam, and has pretty grounds about it. Never having, however, been regularly inhabited, it is greatly in want of repair. Being unfurnished, and her Majesty's furniture not being expected from Vienna until the end of the week, it has been temporarily fitted up with what could be spared from on beard the Austrian steamers, and, as it lacks many of the comforts of a commonplace English country house, may be pronounced a very modest abode for an Emprem. Her Majesty is accompanied by the Princess of Tour and Taxis, the Countess Hunyadi, and some other ladies. Count Fiinfkirchen is the aide-de•camp in waiting." There is a story (says the Illustrated London Neica) about the death of Abdul Medjid's father, the for midable )(almond, which will bear telling—the more so as we heard it from the lips of a young Turk just arrived in England, and that it has never to our knowledge been in print. When Mahmoud laid on his divan of death, he re membered that a great review of the garrison of Constanti nople was to take place under his palace windows in three days time. Ile desired that, at whatever moment be might expire, his death should be kept secret from the troops until the review was over. Sultan Mahmoud died on the now night ; but three days afterwards his dead body, covered with his well-known cloak, and capped with his well•known fez, bearing adiamond aigrette, was propped up, an opera. glass in one of his cold hands, at an open window, beneath which the troops defiled, shouting " Long live the Sultan!" VICTOR EiIYANDEL CITED BEFORE THE CAIIER LEPOO.—A letter from Rome of the 23rd ult. describes • curious ceremony that takes place in the Vatican on the eve of St. Peter and St. Paul. A solemn sitting of the " Camer lingate " is held, and before it are cited successively all the tributaries who have to pay an acknowledgment of their (Mateo to the sovereign power of the Papacy. The Borghese family are summoned and pay a silver dish ; the Princess Marie Bonaparte • pound of wax ; the Marian Campatui, two pato& of , wax ' • the Chigi, • silver beau ; the Colonna, an ivory riboriumand two 'wadi. Among the tributaries cited before the reverend chamber, it is curious to bear the name of " The Most Serene Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia," who owes • chalice for his principality of Ilasaeran. The chalice was punctually paid till the acces sion of Victor Emmanuel. Since thee this tribute has been omitted, but still every year he is summered ; it is taken doers that ho is not present, either in person or by represen tative • and he is accordingly censured, and declared to have forfeited the principality of Maaseran. EXPRESS FROM PARIS• (►sor on owN PARIS, FIUDAT EVININO. Some attention has been excited by a paragraph in last night's Petrie, which seems (assuming it to be authorised) to betray a suspicious anxiety on the part of France to keep the door open for further annexations of Italian territory, although M. Bil lault was instructed but a few days ago to tell the • Corps Legislatif that any such idea was calumnious and absurd. The Pattie, referring to M. Ricasoli's speech, says : M. Riessoli declared that the "King's government did not know an inch of Italian territory which it could cede." By these words the First Minister no doubt meant to allude to fait x accomplis, to retrospective seta. We think it right, nevertheless, to remark, in order not to allow any portion of the truth of principles to be lost, that it has always been admitted that a nation, can without compro mising its independence, without failing in its dignity, and consulting only its own interests, voluntarily make a cession ,of territory. Has not history in modern times presented and justified the example of numerous such cessions? How ever able and honourable may be the sentiments expressed by M. Iticasoli, such absolute declarations as those he has just made, and which cannot prevail in public law, would be, in fact, an invincible obstacle to such transactions which in political order two countries have always been able, and are always still able, to accomplish freely. Now the Temps of this evening remarks upon the above passage that it is absurd on the part of the Patrie to pretend that M. Ricasoli referred to the past. The Italian minister knows as well as every body else that Savoy and Nice are already ceded to France, and it is plain to everyone that he meant to say that he would never consent to the cession of an inch of territory in Sardinia. " The remarks of the Patrie are as inopportune as inexplicable." At the resumption of the Mires trial to-day, M. Mires was allowed,at the request of M. Plocque, to read a paper criticising the accountant's report on his affairs. M. Plocque then began the defence, stating that the reason for his being there in a secondary capacity (for M. Mathieu was the pri soner's principal defender) was that he had been for four years oounsel to the Caine Generale, and did not like to desert it in the hour of misfortune. He denied that Mires had at this moment any pro perty, or that he had secured anything in the name of his wife. He proceeded at great length to ex plain the transactions imputed to the prisoner in a favourable point of view for him. It is expected that M. Mathieu will be well enough to plead to morrow. The Emperor, before leaving Paris fOr Vichy, announced to M. de la Guerronniere that he was a senator. In consequence of his elevation, M. de Is. Guerronnibre resigns the direction of the press, and the poet is conferred on M. !mon, a particular friend of the Count de Persigny, who was formerly a colonial delegate. The Pays, complaining that its note of yesterday denying the reception of the Roman deputation either by the Emperor or by M. Thouvenel has not been sufficiently understood, desires to repeat that M. Thouvenel neither received the deputation nor the Prince Pionibino. The Patric says, as latest news, that Florence and Naples having, in consequence of the recogni tion of the kingdom of Italy, ceased to be capitals, the French government has appointed consuls. general to each of those cities. General de Beaufort d'Hantpoul, commander-in. chief of the Syrian expedition, arrived at Marseilles on Wednesday evening, on board the steamer America ; he was accompanied by Commander Ricuard, a son of Queen Christina. The Bourse was less animated than yesterday. The Rents fell 15c. for cash, and 6c. for account, closing at 67fr. 65c., and 67fr. 85c. Mobilier main. tinned yesterday's rise, and there was little change in railways. PRUSSIA. The formation of a fleet of gunboats for the North Sea is at present the object of negotiations between Prussia on the one hand and Oldenburg and the town of Bremen on the other. Hanover has declined all participation in this measure, because it is proposed to place the fleet under the orders of Prussia. It is part of this plan that the expense of the first establishment of the fleet should be borne half by Prussia and half by the two small states above named. There is a hitch in the negotiations, arising from a demand on the part of the small states for compensation in the form of a diminution of their contingent. Now, this cannot be granted except by the Diet, the well-known deliberateness of whose proceedings renders any immediate execution of this plan very improbable. Great activity prevails in the manu factory of arms throughout Prussia, especially at Buhl. This is owing, in some measure, to large orders from the United States government. Permourn Jew s.—The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier a ndi suite arrived here this evening. They eame per railway from Falmouth, where they Laded to-day from the Spanish war vessel, Patino, which left Santander on the 2nd instant. The Duke and Duchess will leave Plymouth by to-morrow morning's express train, ca route for Claremont. _ _ JULY 4. —The Queen has been played to appoint Simeon Jacobs, Esq., to be Attorney.

JAMES'S, CURTAIN-ROAD.—On Thursday last the children, 700, belonging to this district parish of Shore ditch, were conveyed on an excursion to the llyo House, Hertfordshire, and were accompanied by the Rev. J. W. Markwell, M.A., the respected incumbent, several friends, neighbours, and parents, and had a day's enjoyment in the fresh air. They amused themselves in a variety of ways throughout the day, the latter part of which, it being rather showery, confined them to the old banqueting hall. Every thing pawed off well. The Misses Cutbill, Hawes, Marshall, and Stevens, end Messrs. Soutter, hod, Lewis, and Godbar paid every attention to the comfort of the party, as did also the Rev. Mr. Markwell. THE ARMY or EGYPT.—A letter from Cairo of June 24 says that the Viceroy of Egypt complimented General de Beaufort d'Heutpoul, at Alexandria, by taking him toe review of 8,000 infantry and cavalry and 15 batte ries of artillery. The general was particularly struck with the latter force, and made comparisons in their favour greatly to the disadvantage of the Turkish troops which he had lately seen in Syria. After the review, General de Beaufort having expressed a desire to see Cairo, the Viceroy graciously placed • special train at his disposition for him self and his staff. The general was to leave Alexandria far Marseilles on June 25. THE Loss Ow THE CANADIAN.—The inquiry into the loss of this vessel was resumed on Thursday, at Liver. pool. Mr. James Martyr, one of the shipwright surveyors of the Board of Trade, was called, and he deposed that he had surveyed the Canadian on two occasions—in March, 1860, and on the 6th of May last. Strictly speaking, they could only deal with the parliamentary bulkhead.. The ship was divided by five water-tight bulkheads, having a water-tight door in the forepart of her forward coal hunker. It was not necessary that the door in the after-pa tof the coal bunker should have been closed. The act of parlia ment had been complied with, and in his opinion the thns dims was a very good iron ship. This closed the inquiry. and Mr. Raffles intimated that the report would be for warded to the Board of Trade as soon as possible. THE NEW Cowgr.—Dr. Bachhoffner, the inde fatigable lessee of the Royal Colosseum, has, with his usual promptitude, seized upon the newly-arrived comet, and made it the subject of a most popular and interesting lecture. The modals and diagrams, which have been pre pared to illustrate the lecture, greatly assist in reodenog the subject intelligible to even the common capacitl., and will do much to destroy the lingering superstition which still exists in the minds of many, even in this the 19th cen tury, of the malignant influence of these erratic wanderers of the heavens, and of their eventually being the Ph/ 6 °4 cause of the destruction of our globe. As the lecture is only to be given for a very short period an early visit to the Colosseum is desirable. IV
