This morning there was Wined with the par lisseentary peps the report of the select committee, sp. 'misted by the House of Commons to "inquire how the education el destitute and neglected children may be most eliciestly sad ecosomitelly assisted by say public funds." The document is as follows : " Your committee were appointed at an advanced period of the session ; but they have prosecuted the inquiry with diligence, and have examined without" most competent to *lecithins the entire submit, and sufficient, is the opinion of your committee, to support the CODChlaiollll, which they submit without further delay to the judgment of the house. No child should be encouraged to go to • wigged school, for whose education provision can be made elsewhere. For children who have acquired crimioal or vagrant habits, provision is made by the Industrial School,. Mill. Until that measure has been tried, no other provision at the expense of the state should be made for this clam The children of out-door paupers, destitute orphans, and deserted children, receiving out-door relief, ought to be provide' for under Mr. Denison 's act by the guardiaus of the poor; but it appears to be the °pions of those who have paid attention to the subject, that ' they are sot likely to be so generally, anima the act be so shored ea to make it compulsory upon the guardians to en force the child's being sent to ' , drool u a cooditioo of relief. The difficulties which would have to be encountered in the in troduction of • system of compulsory education such as this ere great. Some questions of detail which are touched upon ia the 'valetae are worthy of attention with refer ence to this subject. It has been suggested to your com mittee that the Committee of council on Education might provide for the admission of children of out-door paupets into schools receiving government aid ; but your ourth mates have received DO ev I. deuce on the subject of this augges tine, sod therefore refrain from expressing an opinion upon it. Children receiving indoor relief are provided fur in the union district or workhouse schools. Provision, however, ought to be made fur compelling boards of guardians to maintain workhouse schools 111 a more efficient state than they are generally is at present, or else to erect distnct schools. After all these reductions there still remains • residue to be dish with, though of its numbers the com mittee have so widows. Ail to ragged schools and other holitthises where children are fed, or fed and lodged, is really aid ha relief of the poor rate, and this is true even when the aid is given as salary to a master, fur such a payrrama sets at liberty an equal sum to be em ployed is feeding or lodging. The only ragged schools, therefore, to which relief can be given, are those which neither feed nor clothe, and the only children re quirlog their aid are the residue which remain after all the above deductions. The ellidtl2,l3 of Mr. Rogers shows 'that where strenuous local exertions are made,' the poorest and lowest districts in towns are capable of supporting schools under the Privy Commit ; and that the poorest parent. may be induced to pay small fees towards their children's educe tioa. Still • endue exists which has riot yet beeu reached by any caw machinery than • ragged school; and the question remains whether ragged schools, which have un doubtedly been of corinderable thank, ought to receive further amistathe from the state than at present. The London Ragged School Union, with Lord Shaftesbury at their head, are opposed to any government grants being made to ragged schools, believing that such grants would interfere with their religious and mia , smeary character, and relax the interest now taken in i l them. Mach difference of opinion, however, prevails upon this subject among the managers of the schools themselves ; and the marrow* of refuges, which are likewise institutions of • religious and missionary character, take a wholly different view of the question. The withdrawal of the government grant to whools capable of being eartilled under the industrial seta, Coaches refuges, bat sot ordinary ragged schools. These ordinary imaged schools if they give industrial training, may have certain allowances * from the Privy Council for rent ash IMF materials, and are permitted, even without giving industrial hatpin, to earn any grant from the council, on compliance with the conditions prescribed to other school/. No rules have yet been suggested on which further grants a/ public mosey could safely he made ; sad the present grant fur raw enatenals has been gromly abused mid should be dike:aliened. Ragged schools closely resemble Sunday schools. They ere strongly impressed with • mis threary and relate:no clisrecter. Their primary ob- Jest ill to reclaim and civilise a child, and then I. place tt in som e honest calling. To these eideete instruction is secondary and subordinate. Yet go vernment inspection must be chiefly hued on instruction. The grant' made on that inspection would tend to divert the school from its main object. Infant schools, which take the child before it has been contaminated, appear to strike at the root of the evil which ragged school, only attack is its more advanced stage. They are win parstively cheap, because they require only female isus ors ; are very acceptable to Farming, whom they re how at the care of children at a helpless age, and not only them from evil, but lay the foundation of order, in , sad attention. Your committee therefore meow. that see or other of the measures to which reference the bees made in the third paragraph of this report [the 1 paragraph here referred to is near the commencement, min . meaciog with ' The children of outdoor wipers,' and end -1 big with 'refrain from expreeeing an opinion upon it.'j I be adopted, whereby minimum into government schools to destitute orphans, deserted children r.l.°Lbechild of out-door paupers ;snit that whatever' I children are not reached by the Industrial Schools Bill now paean( through parliament, or by the proposed memos., be left to the missionary exertions of the ragged * d roo l managers, without any further interference by the govern. 11 went this exists at present." Several ineffectual attempts were made to amend the re port. It was ultimately adepted in the above form by us votes to four, the majority consisting of Mr. Lowe, Sir J. Graham, Sir B. Leighton, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Adderley, and Mr. Brims; and the minority of Sir J. Fakington, Mr. Haabury, Mr Black, am, Mr. t: ave. Sir Stafford North cote, being in the chair, did not eons.

On Saturday Mdlle. Patti appeared for the first time as &eine in the Bartarre dt Sirigtia. From tie previous appearances of this charming young performer, it was easy to imagine what she would be in this new character; and accordingly we found that she reamed in every respect the ideas We had formed of bar acting and singing. She pictured to the life the lively, high-spirited girl—ingenuous, tender, and passionate by nature, but rendered quick-witted and artful by ►ar situation and circumstances. Among the many Ito- MOAB we have seen, we du not remember any one by whom all the traits of a singularly piquant character have been more vividly and at the same time cos sistently brought out. And one !'groat thing in her acting is her thorough assumption of her character, el which she never loses sight for a single instant. Her "by play," as it is called, when nothing at all is " set down far her," is often as full of meaning as the most eloquent language—as witness the scene where Rosin& has to bear the objurgation, of her jealous guardian, listening to his invectives with a mixture of on. patience, irritation, and amazement, silently but delight• fully expressed. She sang with all her usual grace and ex premien, and even more than her usual brilliancy and rit4 naps el ariseansat. indeed, we doubt whether she did smt anmstleass carry skis richness to excess, though it is difficult to find fault with embellishments designed so ingeniously, and executed with such marvellous facility and finiah. It is true that Patti only does in this part what has been done by almost every other singer, sod she em bellishes more, because she is able to embellish more, than almost anybody else. Besides, both they and she have an especial reason for taking liberties with Rossioi'a text in this part. The music, though written for a mezzo-soprano voice, is generally sung by soprano voices ; and they must of secessity alter the pottage* which are too low for them. The principal sir—the famous " Una Tom poco fa"—is always elaborately embellished, and therefore we do not object to Patti's fiuriture, exuberant as they were, though certainly she produced less effect on the audience than usual. But we do object to her introducing them to each an extent ,in the duet with Figaro, " Dianne io sone," where it is really neces sary, in order that the vokes may go properly together, that the passages be sung as they are written. Our only other remark, is the way of criticism, is, that the " singing lesson" scene failed of its usual effect, because the piece (al wayschoseo ad (ibitues) was not very happily chosen. It was an air we heard before—a kind of Spanish bolero— staffed full of vocal gymnastics ; but though surprising, it wee not very beautiful, and nude but little impression. Had Mdlle. Patti sung the hackneyed " Rode's air" she would have commanded the swore which the singing lesion hardly ever fails to receive. But, setting these things aside, Ler Itosina was a most ad mirable performance, and confirmed her claim to be re. girded as one of the most accomplished artists of whom the musical stage can boast. The opera was altogether well performed. Mario, as Count Almaviva, has no rival. There is no other who can throw so much ease, Ace, and gaiety into the character. His singing, too, is m.quisite as far as it goes, but he avoids (and wisely) the trials which his voice would suffer from the florid character of some portions of the music. Ronconi is the best Figaro on the stags, and it is remarkable that his singing is as good as his acting. la Roomers mimic, so finely written for the voice, he is perfectly at home. Ciampi's Bartholo is an ex. cellent vocal performance; dramatically speaking, it is intelligent sad correct, but somewhat hard and deficient in comic humour. Tegliafico's Basilio was worthy of all com mendation : his personation of the hypocritical bare was excellent, and he sang the great air, "La Calunnia," superbly. And Madame Tagliafico gave the little part of Bertha au importance which it very seldom receives. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE GOODWOOD MEETING. _TO TIM IMMO OF TOT tiFRESK. _ leaotTalyMeeiing turned out any thing but a suedes so far as the public attendance is coo. corned ; but whether to attribute this to the bad weather or the inopportune time of the fixture leaves room for some little doubt, although from all accounts the speculation is not likely to be attempted . again so soon after the great meeting in June. In my opinion it will never answer while immediately preceding Goodwood, where such immense sums are to be woo in stakeeand bets thatall the good horses at to run are kept expressly for them, and the programme before me exhibits nearly every fi rst arns &aimsl in tram log engaged in use or more contests. There is a slight increase in the 'lumber of subscribers to nearly all the peat races to be decided, the 31 already closed showing as yam gate of about alUentries, the Stewards' Cup having 94 ; the linden Stakes, 72 ; the Chesterfield Cup, 69 ; and the Nursery, fit. The only drawback is that we shall have es Goodwood-house party this year, which is .1 natural COSMO. queue° of the death of the late Duke of Richmond, but on which those who augur the discontinuance of the meeting in a few years rest their fears. . . On Tuesday there are to be eight contests, foremost among which will be that for the Stewards' Cup, a prize almost cer tain to tempt between thirty and three dozen animals, and it will be consequently the most open race of the week, for previous running will afford no guide, as in the case of other events that look open now. Last year's wiener, Sweet. sauce, is well treated again, as are also him stable can yanioes The Drone, Donner-and-Blitz, Knight of St. Patrick, and Vergisamein-Nicht, the letter carrying all the stable money at propene, while Sweeteauco has received some " riper" The young one, however, is too uncertain • mare or me to trust, and if weetsauce be rosily " set tled" it would not in the least surprise me to see Delmer und•Blitz run the best of the lot, the most dangerous opponents of the two among the heavy weights being Lord of the Manor, Sutbush, Sherborne. The middle weights can be well represented by Horace, Mainstone, Rastas, sad Longebot, and from the fea thered tribe Nativity, Du Bleu, and Carbine may run for ward, it being quite sufficient if I can get within a length of tbe winner with this lot of twelve. The four year old Sweepstakes ought to see Thunderbolt bodes by the Wizard over so severe a course, if the T.Y.C. hero vet agree to patio au appearance, it being not improbable he will prefer cutting in fur the cup above nienboned, with all the weight. The Lavaut Stakes might be reduced to a match already between the representatives of Mr. Merry and Lord Stamford, as it turned out hut year, for Express will hardly feel her penalty over the half a mile, and must beat all the public horses, while the reputation of Flexmore (he is said to be better than Xurullo just now) renders him worthy of being coupled even with such a flyer, and who knows but that Lord Stamford will revenge himself upon the yellow jacket for the defeat of his cowardly Walloon last meeting The Hain is a richer stake, and neither of the thirteen engaged having node a noise in public, it may Wog to the poet some four Or five competitors, viz., ft. Chieftain's Daughter, Ashton', the Coalition filly the Typee colt, Thorpe, Langton, and Hubert. Ashford has long been in the market for next year's Derby, sad if I dare express any preference before maim what condition the field is in it meat be for him. The Gratwieke Stakes will form the beet prise of the day, and Mr. Merry is fortunate in the possession of two such mutilates as Folkestone and Starlight, either of which an beat The Knight of St. Patrick over a mile and a halt. The Craven Stakes and two claiming Sweepstakes have fair entries, and the result of the foraier will be awaited with some satiety ; but feeling anything but certain what will put in an appearsace I am compelled to peas over them. On Wednesday there will be a couple of 2.yr-old con tests of great impo trsee , as tee is pretty certain to bring ' out next year's Derby favourite, the Ace of Clubs, and this will probably be the Htustbounse Stakes, where there is nothing to heat that ss knows to be formidable. In the Findou, however, there will be Alvediston and Wingrave, in addition to Costa, /Cerullo, and oise or two dark candi dates, to get over, and I doubt whether anything can upset Wingrave when heis quite himself, which wee not the as.. at Ascot. The 3-yr-old events are not very important, West End being about the best in the Goodwood Darby, as Walloon will never get so far, while Imams* Cartineer, failing him) roust s•Cur• the inning -room Stakes, and the 300 floes. Sweepstake, for colts can be picked up by Lord Stamford with either Imams or Diophantee However, the lot in the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes foe Allies are too bad fee me to attempt an analysis of them. The Goodwood Oakes be. promoted some heavy wagering', at Beet twenty amlesele havit.g been backed at different times, but lately Velielk, Shipwreck, Zodiac, Fisherman, Guilder, Queen of do Vale, the Intimidation colt, and Umpire have been 11111 knocked abets, that even their starting is doubtful, wills Anthem and Calpe performed too indifferently at Nettingharn and Stamford to have •eliaoce. The only " good im e . ey ' about is entrusted to either Kleho. Starke, Canary, lieldun, Balkans, or Browne. • still the starting of Thor amaby. Royal Sovereign, Surprise, Lupus, !letdown Lase, ilea End, Bally Edmond, and two or three others is at bassiprobable,sedsomefifteen competitors may muster at the F.lcho and Schism, who are both trained at W. have bar beaked for my heavy ruin{ of money, and us they have not been tried together (their owners =sot agree at all about a" trial") the backers of each will have a run for their money. The young one, however, is presumed to be th e be s t a t the weights, by thaw beat capable of judging ; and he is consequently neck and neck with Starke in the betting, the American being confidently set down as by far the best of the old horses, an idea which is certain to prove correct if he in only fit and well, as 1 believe him to be. Bahama, Brownie, and Canary have only their private reputations to stand upon, mid however good they may be, it will r;quire a great deal to shake my c on fi d e nce in Starke and ' while two extreme outsiders in Surprise and West Eod have performed so well this year that they are more worthy of being trusted, in my o pi n i on , as th e y h ave b ee n backed to win • little money at different times. Thus, should any thing best the two favourites (of which Starke stands high est in my estimation) it is not unlikely to be one of the two outsiders named—supposing, of course, their parties, are not persuaded at the last moment to row in other boats. The Cow dray Stakes winner will probably be produced by the many short races on Tuesday, and the weights have yet to be adjusted for the two handicaps that make up the ten items in the mond day's programme. The nine events flied for Thursday have closed (all that is wanting being the weights for the Chichester Handicap), and some were complete so far back, we are not unlikely to have one or two walks over, F a i rwa t er h aving a p ea t deal the best of it in the 50 son. Sweepstakes, while Copernicus looks all over the winner of the Boeing Stakes, and only one may be tempted to Goodwood for the Sussex Stakes. The Eleventh Memorial Stakes will bring out nearly all " dark " candidates, of which Flezmore and Ashford shall be my champions; and in the Mohacs* Ace cf• Clubs or coed Lord Stessfeed's (Ensign or Leyden) should be the tint home, it the previous running of the Ace of Clubs shows he can bay, • ckance with the beet of such • bril liant trio as Lord Stamford can select from. That the jadge must award the Tenth Memorial to Big Ben or Folkestone, and the Ninth to the Wizard (with Ebony in attendance) no one will dispute, but there are various opinions concerning the direction the Goodwood Cup will travel ; the Wizard, Thormaithy, Bodoni, Parmesan, Diophantus, and perhaps lady Clifden and Nemesis, being the champions of the Eng lish division, while the A nienins have Starke and Optimist, with the Frenchmen, Mon Etoile, Preteudent, and Boyalieu, in their interests. The latter trio have proved first-class animals, but it has yet to be learned whether they can beat Optimist over a distance, and I must declare for the Arne neon colours, after the running of Optimist at Stamford, which showed him to be in his best form ; rest to him the Wizard and Parmesan may run home, the 10th penalty of Thormanby being too much fur him to carry successfully in such a field. _ Four out of nine events to come off on Friday are before me, the Nassau Stakes being the only insigoificant ooeamong them, and that will probably be carried off by Budaiota. The Nursery Haodioap is sure to bring out a greet many that have been expressly kept for it whose performasoes are anything but to their credit ; nevertheless, it will require something pretty good to beat Ethel sad Antares, who have done so well of late, and Godding has a couple of good-looking colts in Masks Fenton and KINIDO. The March Stakes will be won by Reimer and Estrelda, if they are not too good for their owners to risk parting with them for 300 sore. and the state, and it will take • good horse to beat Comforter, attain e. and the best of the Frenchmen in the Chesterfield Cap, with all the weight, although it is not improbable previous running will produces more formidable candidate than either the above.-1 am, &c., METEOR.

The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Captain Jud kins, which left New York on the 17th instant, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday afternoon, rid Queenstown, where shu called to land mails and despatches. A telegraphic summary of her news has already been published. At the departure of the last mail, it will be re membered, General M'Clellan, after his victory over Colonel Pegram near Rich Mountain, ad vanced to Beverly and occupied that place, from whence lie sent the following despatch to the government at Washington : Headquarters, Beverly, Va., July 13, 1861. I have received from Colonel Pegram proposition. for his snneadsr, with his officers and the remnant of his com mand, say 600 men. They are said to be extremely peni tent, and determined never again to take up arms against the general government. I shall have near 900 to 1,000 prisoners to take care of when Colonel Pegram comes in. The latest amounts make the loss of the rebels in killed some 150. G. B. Di'Cuittrii. General WClellan subsequently reported offi cially to the War Department that Colonel Pegram had surrendered, with (100 Confederates, at Beverly. The New York Herald of the IGth says : Another decisive victory ham marked the course of the Union army in Western Virgfid► The rebel forces under General Robert S. Garnett, • native of Virginia, and for merly &major In the United States army, while retreating from Laurel Hill to St. George, were overtaken on the lath instant by General Morris. When within eight miles of St. George, at a place called Carrick's Ford, the rebels made a stand, • brisk fight ensued, and they were completely routed and scattered by the troops of General Morris. While General Garnett was attempting to rally his men he was struck through the spine with a ride ball, and fell dead on the road. Two hundred of the rebels are said to have been killed in the recent actions in this quarter, a large number wounded, and more prisoners secured than their captors can take care of. The flight of the rebels is represented as • most disas trous rout. They fled up the Horseshoe Valley, where it is expected that General Hill will meet them and cut them off. Forty loads of provisions, all their horses and guns, fell into the hands of the victors. In his official despatch, General lit'Clellan describes this battle, which coat only thirteen killed and forty wounded, as the utter annihilation of the enemy in Western Virginia, and if General Hill only fulfils his commander's expressed expectations as faithfully as General Morris has done, there can be little doubt that the result is as he describes it. The British consul at Richmond has laid before the British minister, Lord Lyons, official documents respecting recent cases where the blockade of the Chesapeake had been broken by private individuals by permission of tbe govern ment. It appears, from the alleged bets communicated by the British consul, that pubes have been issued by General Butler, permitting private individuals and vessels to pass through the blockade. Copies of these passe., purporting to bear General Butler's signature, were taken from the parties, and are among the document:communicated. Lord Lyons, it is understood, has called the attention of the government to these facts, sod requestaan explanation. The questions involved are of the highest impoe4aoe. It appears that the British agents at the several porta at the South are keeping • most vigilant watch respecting the blockaded ports, and it is quite probable they may give us trouble whenever and pretext or opportunity may occur. The privateer steamer Sumpter, from New Orleans, had seized eight vessels belonging to the Northern States off the southern coast of Ctiba, seven of which were run into Cienfuegos, and one was burned off the Island of Pines. The Sumpter was formerly one of lifiramon's Mexican steamers, which was seized by the Uuited States at the time of his bombardment of Vera Cruz. A recapitula tion of the number of vessels seized by the seces. sionista in port and at sea gives a total of 41. It is stated that the captain.ganeral of Cuba had ordered the privateer Sumpter to withdraw at once from Cienfuegos, and that be had retained the prize vessels, which were laden with Spanish cargoes, subject to the action of the government at Madrid. Another report states that he had released the prizes, and that they were to have sailed from Cienfuegos on the 11th, but as they would be subject to recapture it was considered more probable that they would be held under agskilt sweburity fee future disposition. In the House of Representatives, on the 15th, a resolution requesting the Secretary of the Navy . to supply a sufficient force to suppress privateenng was adopted. Ben. Wood, of New York, offered a resolution providing for a national convention, to devise measures for the restoration of peace to the country. It was laid on the table by a vote of 92 to 51. Bills to increase the efficiency of the army were reported and referred. A select committee was ordered on the subject of a general bankrupt law, to report the next session of Congress. Mr. Vallemdigham offered resolutions condemning the President's action in reference to war, but they were promptly laid on the table. A bill to define and punish conspiracy was passed by a vote of 123 to 7. On the 10th the committee on commerce, in response to a resolution directing inquiry as to what measures are necessary to suppress privateer ing, and render the blockade of the rebel ports more effectual, reported a bill authorising the Secre tary of the Navy to hire, purchase, or contract for such vessels as may be necessary for a temporary increase of the navy, the vessels to be furnished with such ordnance, stores, and munitions of war as will enable them to render the most efficient service. For the purpose of carrying this act into effect, to suppress piracy and render the blockade more effectual, 3,000,000 of dollars are appro priated. The bill was referred to the committee of naval affairs. A bill authorising the President to call out the militia to suppress rebellion was passed unanimously. The bill authorising the Pre sident to accept the services of £lOO,OOO volunteers was also passed. A joint resolution, conveying the thanks of Congress to Major-General G. B. M'Clel land and the officers and soldiers under his com mand, for the recent brilliant victories over the rebels in Western Virginia, was unanimously adopted. The bill to promote the efficiency of the volunteers, and for other purposes, was passed. In the Senate on the 15th the Army Appropria tion Bill and the bill providing for an increase of the military establishment, were pained. A bill providing for the confiscation of the property of rebels was introduced. On the 18th the Senate passed the Navy Appro priation Bill. The resolution approving the acts of the President in suppressing rebellion was dis cussed by Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky, in opposition to its adoption, and the further con sideration of the subject was adjourned to the 18th. An executive session was held, and the Senate adjourned. INDIA. There is no news of importance by this Overland Mail. We have Calcutta papers to June 22. The Englishman of that 'late says The five days which have passed since the despatch of our last overland have brought us no fresh news from the north-west, at least none at all likely to interest our borne readers. The subject of the famine, as far as this up-country papers are i mucerued seems to have worn itself out, and Altu s= is only made to t when an opportunity occurs of pitch ing into the central and local mormittees, for rupporied mis management. The various chaise, is the native army are being actively carried out all ogee the country, and police reform is progressing favourably. The weather, which was so inclement here at the time of our lest repor t,: seems to have done no great harm any where, beyond the usual undermining of Imre and houses ; and has been succeeded by most delightful weather here in Calcutta, where, up to date, we have had scarcely a hot day mace the early part of May. We are sorry to say that death has, notwithstanding, been unusually busy this season among the European community. The printer of the ./Vil Durpan libel on indigo planters has pleaded guilty, and Las been fined ten rupees. Re gave up the name of the Rev. Mr. Long, as the gentleman from whom the manuscript was received. There has been a monster native meeting at Madras to petition parliament for. the restoration of the Ilabobahip of the Carnatic. CHINA. We have news from Hong-Kong to June 12 ; Shanghai, June 3. The following is from the sum mary of the China Mail : The state of affairs in Japan for some time back has been such, that the absence of news implies a maintenance of those friendly relations with the powers of this almost newly-opened country which were resumed upon the recall of Mr. Alcock from Yokohama, assuming thaw to hays been suspended at the time of that gentleman's flight from Yedo. We have no information regarding Japanese matters at present, beyond the facts that a news pape r has long been on the eve of establishment at Nagasa ki, that a work entitled " The Elements of Jammers Gram mar" hu just been published at the London Mimics, Shanghai, with the name of Mr. Rutherford Alcock as author. We do not attach much importance to a rumour that the Japanese will send embassies to the treaty powers for the purpose of begging off that article in the various treaties which opens Yedo from January let, 1862. The matter is of some importance, and until the facts are cor rectly ascertained it is unnecessary to comment upon them. We are informed that all is tranquil at Pekin, and again it must be admitted that no better news could be desired. The totally new circtunstanoss of our ainleunador's presence in that city are apt to induce a little anxiety, not less for his safety than for his behaviour; and it is something to know that affairs in Pekin have in no way been disturbed since the date of our last intelligence. From Tientsin we learn that everything goes on smoothly, that trade is moving, and that our friends, military and civilian, are hapy and comfortable, The haat has been considerab le there, about noon reaching 89 deg. on the thermometer, but this high tem perature has much less of what is unhealthy about it than the heat of the tropics has. We reported some weeks ago that the insurgents were approaching in the direction of Tientsin ,• it now seems that they have disappeared from the Clis-li and Shan-tong provinces, and are supposed to be in Hamm. Their movements, and the reasons for those movements, are a subject of very vague speculation at the best. The following account, which we find in the North China Herald of Ist June, is the first shadow of a misunderstanding between ourselves and the rebels : On the 24th ult. Captain R. Dew and one or two other naval and military officers went up the river in her Majesty's gunboat Flamer, to deliver a letter to the commander•m chief of the rebel forces in this, neighbourhood, intimat ing that any interference on their part with boats en gagedin conveying silk for foreigners from the pro ixg districts to Shanghae would be treated as a hostile step, and warning them that if they ap proached within two days' march of Ningpo they would come into collision with the British forces. They pro ceeded about 40 miles up the river in the +termer, and then in ship's boats, by creeks, to Tsingpo, when a small party, ushers of Oapinialitewe wide hey essay isga white deg on a best book, left the boat and advanced towards the gate. On their approach the walls were manned, and a fire from gioplls and guns was kept up upon then,. They exhibited the letter, to indicate the object of their visit, but the firing continued. No other course was left than to retire ; this they did after placing the letter in the cleft of a bamboo and sticking it in the ground. Thu occurred at the same place where the im perialists were lately repulsed end 22 of the Chinese Foreign Legioo killed or wounded. They then returned to the Flamer, and arrived here late on lust Saturday night. The French steamer Contest, with a small iron steamer having on board the French admiral and other officer', accom panied the British party up the river, but returned without proceeding to Tsingpe. We believe a patty will go up again next wed( to do omed an ecology. on which occanion the gun-boat will he taken within range of the city wall. ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON CoLL•or.. —Not withstanding the impression which appeared to be enter tamed that ' Election Saturday," which is one of the most agreeable of the annual festivals at Eton College to past and present Etonians, was this year to be shorn of its pleasant attractions, there was a large attendance of the nobility and gently at the college on Saturday to partici pate io the festivities erjoined by the royal founder, Henry VI. The customary Latin speech delivered on these occasions was given in the quadrangle by Austen-Leigh, 1113., " captain 'of the colleges s for the ensuing year. It was elegantly couched. With scarcely a single exception all the other speeches were delivered with considerable ani mation and spirit. At the termination of the speeches most of the visitors adjourned to the college chapel, to inspect the improvements effected in that sacred edifice during the last few years. Among the principal of these are the msg. nif icent stained glass windows, the gift of the Rev. J. Wilder, one of the fellows of the college. The usual elec tion dinner took place in the college hall. at 3 o'clock, where covers had been laid for about 150 guests, the collegers being also among the number. The principal event of Election Saturday is of course the regatta, or annual pro cannon of boats from Windsor-bridge to Surly-hall and back, and accordingly some thousands of spectators assem bled in the Braces, to witness the start. 'l be usual display of fireworks on a gorgeous scale took place from the eyot on the Thames. The vacation will commence on Friday next, at the close of the examinations. The boys of the lower school return on the 18th Sept. ; those of the fifth form Sept. 19 ; and the remainder on Sept. 20. There are now form, more than 800 boys in the school, and ad ditional buildings are in progress to accommodate the in creasing numbers. RAILWAY COM 31 ITT Saturday, after a preliminary inquiry extending over two weeks in the com mittee of the House of Commons, and a similarly pro tracted period of inquiry in the committee of the House of Lords, of which the Earl of Stiadbroke is chairing°, the bill of the Newcastle, Derwent, and Weanlale Railway was thrown out. The measure was indirectly promoted by the Loudon and North-Western and North itrituli Companies, who subscribed to it, and opp.i.ed by the Stockton and Darlington and North-Eastern Companies, the contest in volving a fruitless outlay of many thousand pounds. The committee have still to dispose of the bills of the West Hartlepool Company. The committee that was appointed to inquire into the question of companies subscribing or guaranteeing monies to be employed iu the undertakings of other companies have reported their opinion that an addition should be made to the standing orders of both houses to the effect that when in any future bills a provision is inserted fur this purpose proof shall be required before the exa miners that the company has consented to the same at a special meeting of proprietors holding at least three-fourths of the paid-up capital—such approval, end the sum agreed to be subscribed, to appear in the notices by advertisement required by the standing orders, sail if env company autho rised to subscribe to the undertaking 01 another company shall petition against say alteration by the Commons, the petition may be referred to the Standing Order Committee to rep ort whether it be reasonable.

Philadelphia, July IT. A gentleman of this city, who left Richmond on the 9th inst., escaping by way of Tennessee, says that when he left there were oral) about 10,000 troops to Richmond, but there were several fortified camp commanding the approaches with heavy batteries. There were three regiments at Howard's Grove, east of the city, and two regiment. of Eying artillery near Rocket. Regiment after regi ment was arriving via Danville. Five regiments, with a small baggage train, left Richmond on the Bth to reinforce Gerona! Johnston.
