It aka seareely be said that employment is less general, but the transactions in several of the great staples of manufacture ham diminished in munber and amount. The accounts from the Manchester market state that business during the past week has been upon the smaller scale known for a year or two. A marked effect is still exer cised there by the alterations in the Indian tariff, and by what are called the "anomalies in the valuationa" of goods, as reported in recent account" from Calcutta. Trade is proverbially jealous of new fiscal regulation', experience having proved that they are, in too many instances, imposed without a correct estimate of their pro bable practical working. The apprehension is very generally felt, or at least expressed, at Man chester, thit the new tariff in India will interfere seriously with the exportation of the lower descrip tions of cotton goods to that country. Numerous remonstrances have already been lodged in official quarters. Merchants who at first felt great die- couragement are now endeavouring to adapt them selves to the new conditions ; but, meanwhile, blamer in connexion with India has received a great check, and a considerable effect has been produced upon quotations both in India and here. Shippers seem to be at last taking warning from the decline in prices at Calcutta, which further cute away the slender margin of profit on recent consignments. The tendency of prices throughout the Manchester market, therefore, is downwards, and those manufacturers who are not engaged upon contracts are much more willing to sell, even at reduced rates. As usually happens in this condi tion of the market, buyers are encouraged to with hold all orders which are nut of an urgent dm racier. The healthy appearance of the hone trade forms the moat satisfactory feature presented at the moment. As a set-off against the reduction in the vales of manufactured articles must be placed the con tinued decline in that of the raw material. The Liverpool ootton market is still drooping. Holders betray an increased desire to realise, and reduced rates have been established during the pest week, particularly in the lower qualities. This movement is a natural result of the extra ordinary magnitude of the supply. Liverpool is, in fact, full of cotton. The computed stock in that port at this moment exceeds rider Imadred tiu0i..1,4 boles : at the same period last year it was only about sue-half of this amount—via., 641,32 u bales. Ho rapid is the influxthat the deficiency of store room is now much complained of. More must be provided ; and, accordingly, the " warehouse committee" of the Merry Dock Board has been charged to take into consideration the advisability a :cuin g at a moderate rental the warehouses at Hirkenheiml. It IVY LattliiC:t.d 7. 4 .' t recent meeting of the Board that another quarter of a million of bales of cotton will arrive in the port within the rat few weeks. As regards the woollen trade, the principal com plaints of dulness seem to come from Hudders field, but it is admitted that the stocks of goods are by no means large. The more cheerful ac counts are from Leeds, where prices are steady, and the stocks in the warehouses only moderate. At Bradford the demand for worsted yams for ex portation has slackened, owing to the higher prices now asked, but a good business is still going for ward for home consumption. At Rochdale, like wise, inanufscturen are demanding increased prices for sonic kinds of goods, such as flannels, in con lieqUeli,v of the remarkable tirumer of the wool market. As regards the raw material, the condi tion of business in the woollen districts is almost portrayed in the remark that the holder of wool ha. the fixing of the price, and the buyer has no alternative but to pay it. lu wane quarters it was thought that the arri.al of the new clip of wool in the market would have an effect upon pricey but the few panels which have yet come forward appear to have been sold at even higher rates than were anticipated. At Barnsley, the linen trade has improved, the operatives are well employed. At lA/Immo ? Loughhorough, and in th e contiguous dim ' , business is moderately active. At Nottingham the depressed oiudition of the lace trade is chiefly complained of, but the hosiery branch is described as healthy. la South Staffordshire the iron trade has improved, owing to an influx of orders ; but at Bir 'Mecham boluses ie described as rather dull. A bad impreetion has been produced in that town by a failure W • considerable amount, under circumatanoes strongly marked by fraud. At Belfast and Dundee a moderate amount of Wei owe ia reported in rsassfactured goods, at elendy prime. It may be useful to lest dame lend 'specie by an eta:must/4.n of the Board of Trade returns for the mouth of April, which were published en Ha muday. We gather from these return, that the THE amount of the general export mak of the king dom last month was equal to that in the corre sponding month of 1859, whilst as regards the exports for the first four months of the present year the remit is elision precisely the same. The betel shipments are stated at 11,352,4401. in April, 1860, against 11,330,7301. in April, 1859, and at 41,834,347/. in the four months ending ithe 30th April, 1860, against 41,851,5241. in the four months ending the 30th April, 1859. In other words, our general foreign trade is this year as large as at any former period, the year 1859 having considerably exceeded all its prude moors. A comparison with the exports in 1858 shows an increase this year of 20 per cent. on the single month and of 26 per cent on the four months. Of the aggregate of 41,834,347/. of various articles exported in the first four months of the present year, 12,504,2141., or considerably more than one-fourth, consisted of cotton manufactures, exclusive of three millions' worth of cotton yarn, a quarter of a million's worth of cotton thread for mewing, and other minor " cotton " items. Con sidering the state of the Indian markets, it is satisfactory to observe that the shipments of " cottons " to the " British East Indies," which rose in the four months of 1859 to the extraordi nary amount of 3,942,0991., have declined in the four months of 1880 to 3,018,420/. Against this decline must be set a marked re covery in the trade with China, which has absorbed in the four months 1,190,6241. of cotton goods, against 658,1621. in 1859, and 528,7061. in 1858. Poor despised Turkey has taken in the same period this year no less than 11,133,139/. of "cottons," against 866,4201. last year, and 817,5931. in 1858. The growth of commerce in that quarter justifies the view that there is not a more promising channel for custom in existence. Turkey already consumes nearly as large an amount of our cotton manufactures as thslJnited States. The figures relating to the latter are 1,362,8411. in the four months of 1860, against 1,307,5661. in 1859, and 717,1251. in 1858. The extent of the consumption of articles of food and luxury forms the best possible criterion of the condition of the population at large. Let us see what quantity of imported commodities the people of the United Kingdom have been able to pay for and consume daring the first four months of the present year, as compared with the corre sponding periods of the two previous years. Cocoa figures for 1,335,398 lbs., against 1,159,144 lbs. in 1859, and 1,039,237 lbs. in 1858 ; tea for 25,365,690 lbs., against 24,863,680 Its. and 24,130,672 lbs. ; coffee for 12,694,364 lbs., against 11,483,379 lbs. and 13,046,135 lbs. ; brandy for 1,411,909 proof gallons, against 1,186,423 and 1,226,363; rum for 448,222 gallons, against 384,570 and 338,170 ; and wines for 2,581,566 gallons against 2,430,764 and 2,153,694. The only important articleethat shows decrease are sugar and molasses. Of unrefined sugar the quantity entered for home consumption this year is only 2,611,408 meta. against 2,739,092 in 1859 and 2,944,262 in 1858. A heavy decline in wheat (of which only 540,468 qrs. have been taken, against 1,050,366 and 1,191,165), and in flour (of which the quan tity entered this year is 645,145 cwts. against 1,069,661 and 1,508,220), is matter for congratu lation, as indicating the adequacy of our home production, and our practical independence of the I foreigner. The steady increase in the use of tobacco—an article of luxury, in which moat per sons would economise were the times bard—further attests the large consuming capacity of the nation. In four mouths we have already taken the enormous quantity of 11,875,656 lis. of tobacco in various forms. In 1859 the figures were 11,603,067 lbs., and in 1858, 11,319,324 lbs. flit Court. OSBORNE.

Several government vessels have arrived from Palermo, but no post-boat, and curious reports are in circulation as to her fate ; indeed it is said that she was sent round to Messina with despatches, and there she (the Elettrioo) was taken possession of by the emigrants, a great number of whom are re ported to have landed at Cefalu. I put a report, of this capture in quarantine for some hours, and proceed with an abridgement of the dispatches of official persons which have bees placed be fore me. The political state of Palermo (says one) was worse, and an attack was ex pected from Garibaldi at any day or hour. The troops had been thoroughly beaten and the 13th Cuirassiers (commonly called the Croats), who had been sent from Palermo to Castellamare, in order to be forwarded to the support of General Landi, returned to Palermo ;it was too late the general had been defeated, and his troops were in full flight. They entered, said this letter, in a most deplorable state, in small parties, and full of discouragement. The sbirri are going about and giving up their arms, and asking for their lives, whilst the officers are doing pretty nearly the same thing, and are said many of them to have joined the insurgents. A letter from a General Officer, which came up CM Sunday by the Etna, says that orders had been given for the concentration of troops at Palermo, which order had been obeyed. General Landi had, however, been at a distance, and therefore he could not retire, but was compelled to meet the enemy, and in fact was defeated. The Carabineers loot 80 men killed and 300 wounded ; whilst the Bth Chassears had 20 killed and more than 100 wounded. His retreat was made in confusion, and it was by a miracle of the Immaculate Virgin that he was preserved. He acknowledges that the in surgents fought like heroes, and urges his friends to use every effort that his resignation which be had already sent in to the Commander-in-Chief, may be accepted. Landis brigade lost two cannon. The mail to Girgenti was stopped two or three nights since by the insurgents, and its papers burnt. The monks of Gancia have been set at liberty and declared innocent, so have many others during the last week, and the custode of the prison declares that it is quite a pleasant relief, as there are only 1,800 in prison. Muitelome, Giardini, Trebia, and others have been transferred from the city to Castellamare, of course for the sake of security. The jesuita, like rooks, are beginning to desert the falling tree. The greatest excitement prevails in Naples, and the sky is full of canards, but what is certain is that every effort is being made to send off troops and ammunition to Sicily, which leave during the night. Many aces have been sent from the pekoe to Gnats, and the garrison at Portici has been 'increased. A banner of Garibaldi was taken over to the King and remains in Portici. It has the crime of Savoy on one side and on the other a woman with broken chains. She is dressed as a Greek and is richly ornamented with gold. On it is the following inscription :—" Al Prode Generale Garibaldi Deno dell' America!" and on the other side are two hands clasped, with the word' "l'Uaione fa la form !" ENGAGEMENT NEAR PALERMO. ?JAMS% MAY 25. Garibaldi's troops are six miles distant from Pa lermo, and occupy the heights surrounding it. An engagement has taken place, but without a definite result. The insurgents have maintained their positions, and the royal troops hare re-entered Palermo. Several Neapolitan vessels of war have arrived before Palermo, and a bomberlinent Fay feared should a riaing take place in the city. (onsotst..) NAPLES, MAT 26.

The racket which left Naples on the 22m1 inst. has arrived, and brings letters from Palermo dated the 21st inst., which state that the anxiety was increasing, and that the popular passions were inflamed. On the evening of the 20th several shota were fired from the balconies in the Rue Toledo. The police rettuced the fire and wounded some persons. &inners had taken refuge under their national Sage The authorities had ordered the doors o the public buildings to be built up to half their height. There was a panic among the public functiona ries, and the director of the official journal had taken to flight. The churches were open on Sun day, but remained deserted. Yesterday the fire of an insurgent bivouac was seen on the heights surrounding Palermo, and it was asserted that a battle had taken place. The population were anxiously expecting the result, which was not known. A very conciliatory proclamation of General Luna to the army has been coldly received. MARSEILLM, hisr 26.

It adds, that since the 14th the official journal of Palermo has ceased to appear- its editor, the Chevalier Venti miglia, bad left for Naples. The following is an extract from a private letter, dated from the neighbourhood of Messina, May 20 : The Bi shah army destroyed 4,000 Neapolitan soldiers between Calatalimi and Alcamo, 10 miles distant from Palanno—defeating them completely. The few who made their 1100111p14 after running a very long way, dispersed with the greatest rapidity. Therefore I expect the taking of Palermo will soon be heard of ; but I foresee that rivers of bleed will be shed. A great catastrophe is apprehended in Messina, the general of that city hav in g the villainous in tention of snug it up to tack and of setting fire to it. Excuse my writing on such bad pa r, but what's to be done in such a place?

The discussion upon the treaty of cession of Savoy and Nice was continued to-day. Signor Ratarzi enumerated the inconveniences of the treaty, which he rejected by reason that the government, in ceding the Italian provinces, had violated the principle of Italian independence and weakened royalty. He also said, " France, setting foot in Italy, can go further. The new king dom has lost its weight abroad, and Europe looks upon this traffic of peoples with distrust." Signor Rataxai then spoke on the questions of boundaries and voting. The latter be declared to be illegal as it was effected without the consent of parliament ; and concluded by saying :—" A guarantee of the possession of Central Italy to Sex idinia should have been inserted in the treaty. The autonomy of Tuscany desired by the maker et this treaty proves the existence of other views on the 'part of France. We have ceded two provinces in order to obtain other, the keeping of which pro blematical. The Chamber is still free to reject this treaty." He advised his party to abstain from voting. Count Cavour, in hie speech, admitted the sacri fice of the two provinces to be a grievous one, and that the state was weakened thereby. In reference to Nice he said, "The passages of the Alps will remain with us ;" and continued : "The policy of Italian independence rendered the treaty necessary • since 1848 the policy of concluding an alliance iecame expedient. The Emperor having shown sympathy for Italy, we are attached to France. The state of Italy does not 't us to stop. Austria has not the annexation, and we are threatened on all sides. The Pope has rejected our overtures and has opened • crusade against Italy. We meet everywhere with the grave dangers of war ; the armaments which are going on prove it. We cannot, therefore, modify our policy, which necessitates the maintenance of an alliance with Franco°. All parties in France not being fa vourable to Italy, it was n.o ary to satisfy them by ceding Savoy and Nice, as otherwise the Em peror would have been unable to continue to mani fest his sympathies with us. For • long time Nioe and Savoy have expressed their French tendencies, and Nice is not an Italian province." Count Ca- Your concluded by declaring that "if the acquisi tion of Venice were to cost • foot of Italian soil he would refuse it." (Applause.) TURIN. list 27. The discussion on the treaty of cession was resumed to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. Deputy Brofferio demonstrated that Nioe never had any sympathies with France, and declared that without wishg to overthrow the ministry, he should vote a gainst the treaty, in order that Nice might fall under Italian rule. He also said : " Nice is embodied in one man, and that is Gari baldi. Can it be said, then, that Nice is not Italian " Deputy Ferrari said, " France is with us because her mission is against the treaty of Vienna. Napo leon represents both absolutism and revolution. He desire' to oppose the treaty of 1815 with us, bat the policy of Count Cavour compromises Italy. The 'slake of Savoy and Nioe is a mistake. Do skid us be ungrateful to Napoleon, but let ua not give away our lands. Our alliance with Franco is the alliance of the weak with the strong. The House of Savoy should , adopt a revolutionary policy, and reform its laws." Deputy Ferrari announced that he would vote against the treaty. TURIN, NAT 28.

The first session of the enlarged Council of the Empire will, according to the programme of the cabinet, only be of a preparatory character, and will merely deliberate upon the organic bases of the future governmental edifice. The Emperor will not, therefore, open the session of the 31st inst, by a speech, nor will the present president be replaced. The Archduke Realer will continue to preside over the Council of the Empire. After this preparatory sitting the council will be formally constituted by the deputies of the pro vincial diets, and by those archdukes who will take their seat in the council by order of the Emperor. It is supposed that the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian will then be definitely appointed Pre sident of the Council of the Empire. THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. QUEENSTOWN, MAY 97.

This, being Ascension•day, is a general holiday, and the Petrie, Prase, and Opinion Nationale do not appear. There is nothing in the Pays. Tele grams from the Neapolitan government announce further decisive victories over Garibaldi, but there is no authentic news from Sicily. The Courtier de Paris (which, after all, has not taken the name of the Globe—out of delicacy, I am told, towards your London contemporary of that name) relives the oft-repeated rumour of the French army being about to quit Rome. The Em peror, it says, is at length thoroughly tired out by Cardinal Antonelli's obstinacy. MM. James Spence, John Biddulph, and Palmer Budd gave evidence yesterday before the Superior Council of Commerce. The government journals tell the following I "touching" anecdote of the review of Friday An incident occurred which produced a deep impression upon the public. After the Emperor had left the ground, and while the troops were dispersing to their quarters, the Empress remained for some time upon the race-coarse. The Imperial Prince walked a few paces before her. The crowd, which had hitherto been kept back, was sow allowed to ap proach ; the people pressed closely around the Empress, and showed her Majesty the most profound respect. All eyes were fixed upon the young prints, whose manifold graces charmed all beholders. Among the crowd, and very near to her Majesty, was • poor family, consisting of a father, mother, and child of about the same age as his imperial highness. The prince, after having frequently turned his eyes towards his unknown comrade, at length abandoned himself to an affectionate impulse, rushed up to the child, sod embraced bin,. The charming simplicity of the act so moved the parents that the honest folks melted into tears ; sad all the spectators of the scene being profoundly touched by this proof of the sentiments instilled into the mind of the youthful prince by his august parents, saluted her Ma jesty and his imperial highness with the lirdiest acclama tions. _ . _ PARIS, SATURDAY &IMO. The Criminal Chamber cf tie) Court of Cs-nation has quashed the judgment of the Imperial Court in the nee of " the heirs of Bishop Rousseau e. the Bishop of Orleans," which ruled that no prose cution lies for a libel upon the memory of a dead person unless in cases w he re the libel is prompted by malice towards the living. Hereafter no man can safely write history without advertising for the heirs and next of kin of the personages of whom be proposes to treat, and matisfyinghinuself whether they are litigiously disposed people or not. The doctrine is not qualified by any statute of limita tions, and the truth of the libel is no justification. Any statement reflecting upon the honour of any I dead person, whether he died 50 years ado (as in Bishop Rousseau's case), or 500, is punishable by line and imprisonment, according to the law laid down by M. Dapin and the Court of Caseation. It would be a penal offence in France to impugn the loyalty of Jack Cade, the courage of Sir John Falstaff, the liberality of Henry VII., or the humanity of bloody Queen Mary. Nay, the heirs of Cain or Judea Iscariot may, if they happen to be French citizens and can prove their pedigree, bring all publishers of the Bible to the bar of the Correctional Police. The decision after all fails to settle the law. M. Dtlaugle's demonstration has merely created a barren precedent which no court is bound to follow. A single caseation chamber is not a court of the last resort, and as the case is now uncontested no machinery exists for bringing it before the con clusive jurisdiction of the three chambers united. French journals can only speak with fear and trembling of • judicial decision. Under all dis advantages, however, the Dibats ventures to my of the judgment, which I take upon myself to con demn in the most severe terms : The ;Uhl* ought to know what ix permitted and what is forbkiden. Should there still exist nay descendant, I do not way of the judges of Louis XVI. but of the judges of Ogles, Anne l)ubourg, or Joan of Arc, if I utter my in dignation agaiast them, if I employ those harsh and con tumelious expressions which the indignation of the historian my sem to authorise, the deiceodents of those whom I juke with such severity may prosecute me criminally, on the eels condition of proving my intention to injure. It is very .main that I do not really incur any great danger in the peessat day by giving free utterance to my indignation, and even declaiming against deeds of violence so remote ,• but it is of great importance that some limit should be fixed to the esesequesees of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Oen& At the Bourse the Rents opened heavily at about yesterday's quotations, but it became firmer afterwards. No great amount of business was done, but the clueing prices were the highest of the day, 89.30 and 89.25, being a rise of 10 and 15. Mobilier left off without change. Railways were from 1.25 to 3.76 higher. DEPUTATION AT THE TUILERIES. A deputation of the Honduran Inter-Oceanic Itmlway Company had the honour of being receive yesterday at the Palace of the Tuileries by the Em peror. The deputation consisted of Mr. F. Mon ton, of Paris ; Mr. Joseph BObialloll, of Lon don ; Mr. Sanden Kirkpatrick, of London ; Dr. Holland, M.D., New York, physician to the surveying ex pedition ; and Mr. Robt. Rowan Moore, secretary to the company. The deputation was introduced by Senor Herrin, Minister Plenipotentiary for the States of Honduras and San Salvador. The interview lasted over forty minutes. The Emperor inspected the maps of the line and ports. He asked at what gradients the summit was surmounted, and expressed himself satisfied with the reply that the assent from both the Atlantic and the Pacific was to a great extent gradual ; that the steepest gradients upon the I dine were for five miles on the Atlantic aide, 'rising from the plain of Comayagna, 85 feet to the mile ; and for 22 mike rising from the Pacific at a gradient of 95 to the mile, but that these gradients, Colonel Stanton states, admit of being very much improved. His Majesty stated his satisfaction at the route being thoroughly international English, French, and American. He inquired as to the estimated cost. It was stated that the directors had received a tender for the con struction of the line for 2,500,0001., and that it could be made for that amount, seeing that for about 40 miles on the Atlantic side the river Humaya was navigable. In conclusion, the Emperor assured the deputation that the enterprise should have his best protection. Having presented to his Majesty copies of the maps, plans, re ports, and other documents, the deputation withdrew. SPEECH BY A PARSEE PRINCE. We learn from the Bombay Gazette that his Highness Meer Jaffer Ali Khan Bahadur entertained the Parsee community of that place at clinger in honour of the late marriage of his daughter. He made a speech to them in which he mid that he reckoned the Parsee, a. his brother,—"as, indeed, the whole human race is one com mon brotherhood." Of the impressions which England had produced upon hiss, his highness thus spoke :—" I was anxious that as occasion should ariae when I could give an account of my sojourn in Em land to my fellow-countrymen; and by the grace of God an opportunity has presented itself to usthis evening. I wish I could describe to you the remark able intelligence of the Englishmea as displayed by them in their various dealings—social, political, commercial. So vast and varied is their knowledge in everything that they have rightly earned the title of being ranked amongst the Arst and foremost of nations on the face of the globe. Or! • the first occasion when I visited England in 1844, I stayed there for about five mouths. The gentry and nobi lity of that delightful country treated me with all the kindness and consideration for which they are so remark able. In 1853 I paid • second visit to England, and had occasion to prolong my stay there for five years. During that long period I hail every opportunity of making myself acquainted with their manner+ and customs, their scent and political laws, their judicial system, &c., &c. I moved amongst the leading men of the realm ; and my association with Englishmen ill general has impressed me with a very high opinion of their transcendent intelli gence in every branch of human knowledge. To appre ciate their several virtues, to admire their mechanics/ ingenuity, and to become acquainted with all that exalts our mind and enlarges our heart, we must be Were on the spot. No description, however full and glowing, could adequately convey the idea I have received from personal visit of the magnificence and grandeur of England rind her people. One of the most remarkable things that struck me was the system of their legislation and government. Their form of government is the best I have yet seen. To the le of the Eut, it strikes us as very strange that the e s ould have so much control over the acts of the Queen ; in point of fact, the people govern the country ; and to my mind it should be so. - If we go deeper into the subject, we will see that the people of a country should be the ruing body. I was also struck with the mode in which justice is adminis tered. I would go no further than myself--you are all well aware, gentlemen, of the particulars of my cue, you see how equitably they have disposed of the matter. Let us all pray for the permanent establishment of the British power in India, and for the welfare and prosperity of their nation wherever they go, and wherever they are." The youngest brother of the present Parsee baronet hash we learn from the Bombay Gaulle, commemorated the anni versary of the death of his father, Bit Jainsetjee, by paying the debts of all the small cause court prisoners, who were thirty-six in number, and whose debts amounted to 5,000 rupees. The officers of the 3rd (or Soots Fusilier) Regiment of Guards intend to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the formation of that gallant and distinguished corps by a grand banquet. Those noblemen and gentlemen who have at any time served in the regiment will be invited to attend. The commemorative enteiltiament will take place in the large and elegantly decorated mom at Willies Rooms, King. street, St. James's. His Royal Highness the Duke of Ounbridge, aa colonel of the regiment, will preside ►t the banquet. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, formerly colonel-inchief of the regiment, has been pleased to express his intention to be prevent on the occasion. The dinner is appointed to take place on the 19th pros. The Bank of Ireland, following the course of the Bank of England, has just made a reduction of a half per cont, in the into of interest. Its charges are now as follows: —English and Irish bills having not more than 96 days to run, 4 per cent. per annum. Scotch bills the same, with art additional charge of an eighth per cent. Applications will be received for loans on the security of government or bank stock at per cent. English and Scotch bills having keg than 11 days to run are taken ►t a uniform rate den eighth per cent. in lien of discount. A confirmation was hold on Friday at the Eng lish church, Rue d'Aguesoau, Maria, by the Bishop et Ripon, acting on behalf of the Bishop of Loudon. 4bove • hundred candidates were present. The pray r were read by the Rev. E. Forbes, chaplain, and the bi4aop was aniseed by the Rev. Prebendary Burgess and the Rev. J. H. Beale. The church war filled with an attentive congregatice. The Grand Duke Nicholas arrived at Berlin on Thursday from Eisenach, and took up his residence at the Rwaian Embassy. At Groesbeeren his imperial billi• fleas met the Prince Regent and Prince Frederick William. On alightiag at t h e Berlin railway station the grind duke was received by Prince Albert the younger, Field-Marshal von Wrangel, the town commandant (Major-General Al venaleben), and the members of the Russian °whimsy. The Grand Duchess Helene will arive this evening from Bt. Petersburg. The King of Sweden will visit the King of Den mark about the middle of next month, at the Kronborg Palace. The Swedish King will enter (..Isrlaciona on the Slot., and, after a stay there of a few days, will go to his estate at &Amite'. On leaving Copenhagen his Majesty will visit the summer camp of his troopi, and then pro ceed to Kronborg. With reference to the extract we gar° from a German paper relative to an alleged interception of a letter from the Prince Regent to the Prince l'ousort, the l'rue sin,' Gazette says :—" The Dusseldorf the:elte in a reoent number gives a very particular account of a conversation between the Minister for Foreign Affairs sad the French Ambassador. We are authorised to declare that no such convention ever took place." The supreme government in India loth published a notification, which is baled ou instructions from the Secretary of State for India, from which it appear that no clergyman is to be appointed an inspector of schools ; and that no one who is or has recently been engaged as a missionary is eligible for any appointment in the educational department. With these exceptions, if they are otherwise fitted for the poet, clergymen are not pro hibited from employment in this way. But "no such person is to be so employed without careful stivertence to his individual character, to the particular position in which he will be placed, and to the effect which nay be produced by his appointment." Great excitement has boon caused among the bialys; of various parts of Henget, in consequence of a wealthy bebop having been sentenced by Chief Justice Peacock to transportation for fourteen years, for forging a will. The ease is a remarkable sue. It appears that &boo Sibkissen Singh forged a will in order that he might come into his brother's property ; that the said brother was treated during his last illness in a mint cruel manner ; and that another saliva and a European surgeon (a Mr. Crawford) were accomplices is the forgery. These two latter persons hove been sentenced to seven years' trans palletise. Petitions, we learn from the tadoutia papers, are being circulated with a view of procuriag a mitigation of the sentences. A correspondent at Woolwich, ou whom we can rely, gives us the following - A private soldier of the name of Wait's, sow serving in the Military train at Woolwich, has, within the lest few days, received the handsome present of 10,0001. from a brother in AUL. train, who etuignited some years ago, a very isor working mot, but is now p ose essed of Ifityllat/.
