SPORTING LSTELIJGF-tiCE A late edition of the Express is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day'. races. Now that the trial of Tvaxiitru. v. Btan is I over, we may fairly consider on public grounds the wisdom and propriety of carrying such a matter into a court of justice at all. It certainly appears to us that Mr. TURNBULL would have been better advised had he remained satisfied with the favourable verdict he had already obtained in the court of appeal he had himself first selected for the trial of his case—that of public opinion. What was the actual point in dispute between Mr. Tule- Neu. and the Protestant Alliance ? Surely it must be allowed by all impartial judges to be one of opinion, and not of fact. The Alliance hold that a WSW of strong religious opinions, a violent partisan, is unfit for the office of summarising State papers belonging to an era of general religions excitement, and national religious change. Mr. TURNBULL and his friends, on the other hand, maintain that the religious opinions of the calendarer, however strong they may be, do not affect his fitness for this office. This is a perfectly fair course—one that may be legitimately discussed in the leading organs of opinion, and on which the intelligent portion of the public interested in such questions may reason ably decide. If, in defending its opinion, either party should be betrayed into rash expressions or false statements, it would not only deserve but would infallibly experience the humiliation of ex posure and defeat. But if there is no evidence of wilful falsehood, malice prepense, or vindictive personal feeling on either aide, there certainly seems to be no sufficient reason for carrying &pub lic discussion of this kind into a court of justice. We confess that in our mind there is no such justification for the recent action. No doubt the tiliance put forth statements that were loose, if not partially inaccur..te, and endeavoured to make the most of the few facts that told in favour of their position. To make out their case it was necessary for the Alliance to prove that Mr. Ts:Limit was a violent partisan, and that the papers he had to deal with were of the utmost im portance in a religious point of view. On both these points the statements of the Alliance are eharreable with some exaggeration, but not, as appears to us, with any direct or wilful misrepre sentation of the facts of the case. The Report of the Alliance, for example, describes the papers entrusted to Mr. TUILNBULL as " most important " documents relating to the Reformation," while the Memorial states distinctly that they refer to the " important religious struggles on the Con• " tinent" connected with the same great event. This undoubtedly tended to convey an erro neous impresaitin as to the real nature and value of these papers, but the error was speedily corrected in an able letter by Mr. BREWER, a colleague of Mr. TURNBULL'S in the Record-office, who is not only a Protestant, but a Protestant clergyman of high standing and well known ability. Mr. BREWER says in his letter : " The most important documents connected with " the Reformation,' in her Marine's archives, " have been entrusted to me by the (loverumont " of this country to arrange and to catalogue. " And I certainly don't thank the Protestant Alli " once, or say other society, for confusing the pub " lie mind on this subject, and attributing the " field of my labours to Mr. TCZNIVLI., a gentle " man whose sentiments I do not share any more " than themselves. There are no other impor " tent documents connected with the Reformation' " except these ; so far, at learnt, as I am (aware ; " certainly none to which in ordinary parlance " this expression can be applied." Mr. Bino's efforts were directed to establish another point—that Mr. TURNBULL was a Romanist of extreme and violent opinions. For this pur pose extract' were quoted from that gentleman's writings, expressing admiration of the Jesuits, hatred of the Protestants, and strong aversion to the " so-called Reformation " as a " most mis " chievous event." Isolated expressions of this sort sound rather alarming, but the context and general tone of the writings in which they occur tend very much to lessen their gravity and signifi cance ; and the Alliance, no doubt, laid too much stress upon them. It is perfectly clear from all Mr. Tv RN se u. writes that he is not only' man of strong and lively feeling, but energetic even to rashness in the expression of his sentiments. He not only re flects the feeling of the moment, but from a liveliness of fancy not unfrequently exaggerates its intensity. It is scarcely fair to subject the isolated phrases of such a writer to the strictest andlmost severe interpretation possible. Still no one can justly blame tho Protestant Alliance for having quoted Mr. Trestaila.'s writings. Holding the views they do, they are not only entitled, but bound to produce evidence in support of the aggressive course they pursued. The extract proved that the writer's sympathies were not only strong, but strongly with the Roman ist', and the position of the Alliance was, that no partisan ought to be engaged in the special work to be done in the Record-office. No charge was brought against Mr. Tuaesru. personally. It way neither hinted nor insinuated that he was in the slightest degree dishonest or capable of wilful mis representation. No attempt was made to im pugn the manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office. Mr. BIRD, the Secretary of the Alliance, stated, indeed, that he understood from a letter read by Lord PALIIIER•TON to the ! deputation, that Mr. Traitsvu was subjected to special watching and supervision ; but this was at once shown to be an erroneous imputation. Not only Mr. Haxwea, but Mr. Dnrvvs HARDT, the -- p • ~-- THE EXPIESS, THURSDAY responsible head of the Calendaring Depart. client, wrote immediately to state the general rules as to supervision that prevailed in the and that there had been no devia tion from them whatever in Mr. Tuatesuu.'s case. Mr. HARDY at the same time vindicated , this appointment, pronouncing a high eulogimu on his rare capabilities for the task entrusted to him, as well as on the admirable manner in which he had performed the first part of it, just then completed. So far as our columns are concerned, therefore, Mr. TURNBULL had every reason to be satisfied with the discussion he had provoked. It had terminated very much in his own favour. The loose or exaggerated state ments put forth by the Alliance were corrected, and the facts on which they relied in support of their position reduced to their proper dimensions. It was shown that the papers to be summarized had not the special significance which the Alliance had hastily assumed they must possess, and that Mr. Ti RNBULL had done his work iii a manner which, both for its ability and impartiality, had won the unqualified approbation of the best judges. We certainly think Mr. TURNBULL would have taken a wiser and more dignified course had he been satisfied to let the matter rest here. No doubt the controversy ex cited warm feeling, and strong expressions were used ; but this was not peculiar to either side. Mr. TURNBULL indulged in the luxury of ener getic expression quite as much as his op ponents. But there was no evidence whatever in Mr. Bran's letters of any personal malice against Mr. Tualreucc, or that vindictive desire to do him an injury which alone would justify an action for libel Besides, the result of such a trial, whatever it might be, could not possibly affect the real point at issue. That is • matter of opinion, which everybody is entitled to discuss—whether • Ro raanist ought to be appointed to examine and condense Protestant papers. Mr. Sian, on behalf of • Protestant Association, main tained the negative of this proposition, and in so doing certainly did not exceed the license of public discussion. And it is absurd to attempt to fasten on Mr. Than personally what is altogether due to the strength of the opinion he represented. It cannot for a moment be maintained that Mr. TURNBULL lost his office through Mr. BIRD. He lost it simply because so many people held the views Mr. BIRD expressed. The real defendant in the action 'was a large section of the English public. It may be very unfortunate that large and influential classes should hold such opinions, but clearly they cannot be prosecuted for them in a court of justice, nor is thatan appropriate tribunal for deciding disputed questions of principle as to the patronage of public offices. TER RIDE 111 RENSINOTON4.4RDEP3. Au influential deputation, headed by Mr. J. Harvey Lewis, M.P., and Mr. Robert Henbury, P. , had aa interview with Lord Palmerston , at his residuum is Piccadilly, on Tuesday evening, on the subject of the her ride in Kensingtomgarclens. Mr. J. HARVEY Lewis, in introducing the deputation, and they had no desire to make a demonstration, but merely to lay before his lordship their objections to the ride. They had hoped that after the exprenioo of public opinion last year the rule would be a band oned. It was, however, again opened, and was considered highly objectionable on principle, for the inhabitants of the vicinity and the metro polis generally could not have the ease and tranquillity or enjoy the shade and quiet of the gardens as formerly. They came to his lordship because he had elven identified himself with popular measures ; and they earnestly prayed that his lordship would take sonic mean to restore the gardens to their former condition. Mr. Hoasm, A R.A., read a memorial to his lordship, signed exclusively by fifty a rtists , thirty of them being members of the Royal Andmy, expressing their regret at the introduction of the ride. Several other members of the deputation having addressed his lordship, Lord PatetitaroN said be did not think the grounds of their case bore out their conclusions. The deputation assumed that the gardens were to be shut up ' • now the enjoyment of those who frequented them had been increased of late by a wall being taken down. The principle the de putation and its supporters adopted seemed to him to be • monopoly. As for the argument of solitude, it was a sole cism ' • they could not have solitude in seclusion , it wa s n o t to be had in such a spot With regard to the number of signatures in the memorials, of course the people on foot were more numerous than equestrians ; it was, therefore, easier to obtain more signatures, hut equestrians were en titled to be conaidered. There wereplenty of parks and places for the le to walk in ; the range for them in this meteopolu f was very great. If the ride out scrolls paths, something might be aid. la St. James'sps-rk a bridge weproposed to be erected across the M . ll , i which he opposed, as it would interfere with the recreation of the people. The ride in Kensington-gardens last year was mid to be dangerous —this year the objection raised was that the rand scenery should not be spoiled. Ilia lordship was much surprised that artists should object to the introduction of borne into the scene—the great masters of landscape paint ing liked figures and hones to enliven the scenery. If he had any fault to find at all against the ride, it was that it we really too small ; he should like it all round the gardens. ' After some further discussion, in the course of which • suggestion was made that the piece of ground, north of Rot.- , ten-row and south of the Serpentine, should be given up to the riders, the deputation thanked hie lordship for his courteous reception, and withdrew. THE SLAVE num:. A deputation on the above subject had an inter view with Viscount Palmerston at Qunh.blgehowee yester day morning. The special object was to present to his lord slap • memorial founded on certain resolutions adopted at a conference held at Lord Brougham's modem* on the 15th alt. The deput•Ma consisted of Lord Brougham, Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. S. Gurney, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, ILP., Mr. H. Pease, M.P., Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. L A. Chsmerovzow, Sc. LORI BROUGHAM, in introducing the deputation, alluded to the gratifying intelligence just received, that the Emperor of the French had abolished the so-called free immigration of impose from the Eastern Coast of Africa, and expressed a hope that, notwithstanding the extreme delicacy of the sub ject, the American government might be induced to put an end to the present system of carrying slaves to Cuba under the American &IC. Mr. C. Btirox said he trusted the government would, if asewmary, resort even to forcible measures to put a stop to the expectancies of slaves at Whydah, in the dominions of the King of Dahomey, and would consent to place consuls at various points of the Eastern Comet of Africa. After a few words from Mr. J. Foaarxa, one of the patriarchs of the anti-shivery movement, Lord PALMIRSTON expressed his willingness to take such stigma might appear desirable iu order to put a stop to the slave Inds. It was owing to the determination of the Bri• task goverment, more than to anything else, that the Portuguese and the Brazilian governments had abolished the traffic. But the Portuguese government, although willing to awry out their treaty obligations with this country, bad to dial with very corrupt officials in the distant settlements. Spain Ind acted with great insiucerity, and no doubt had given ample cause of war if this country chose to resort to force to compel her to carry out her deliberate engagements. He doubted, however, if the House of Commons would respond to a call for war on such grounds at the present moment. wart be (Lord Palmerston) had stated in the Homo of Ccemons ea the subject the other night had made the government of Spain very angry with him, but he under stood they immediately sent off a certain number of cruisers, so that it would appear they were amenable in mine degree to public opinioo. The government bad required from Spain a categorical declaration that slavery should not be intro duced in San Domingo. There were there at ttis moment a great number of negro.* erbu had escaped from Cuba and Porto Rico, and the Spanish government had given the met positive assurances that their freedom should remain late& Lord BROUGHAM said be hoped there would be no objec tion to produce the categorical declaration alluded to. Lord Pstregnsroe said he apprehended not, but his noble friend at the head of the Foreign-office would determine that point. There was nothing confidential in the mama nention, and it would perhaps be satidsolory to the Spa nish government to have their intentions publicly known. The chief difficulty at present was with America. So long as the States refused the right of search the Spanish trade would continue to be carried on trader the American flag. The government of the United States had seamed to think that the British government might be induced to coanive at the annexation of Cuba on condition that the slave trade should cease ; and that, and the influence of the South in the councils of the Union, bad hitherto prevented any effectual measures for the suppreesioa of the traffic being carried oat. The United States had, however, recently seat cruises to the coast of Africa, and had done more to sapper the trade under their own flag than they had done for a very considerable time. It was perfectly tree that the French free immigration of Ingram to their co ddle was slavery in its purest and simplest form, and the British government had only been able to induce the French to put an end to it by an engagement enabling {bees to pt coolies from India. The free immigration from Africa would therefore be put an end to in twelve ssentim, and he trusted there would be no attempt to re vive it. The appointment of consuls at the places indicated by the deputation would no doubt be exceedingly advan =ibut it was a subject which lay with his noble t the heed of the Foreign-office. No doubt a great eras made whoa Mr. Foote, whore death he deeply re to hear of, was appointed to Lamm. That gentleman rari been of greet service in suppressing the traffic, and in stauelisr people of Abbeokuta to defend themselves Mirale Hui of Dahomey. As to sending a consul to dah, or say Mbar past of the King of Dahorne demi aims, he mod own that the savage character of t he King, and his threats agaiast all Bregliahmen, made it exceedingly dangerous to forward a peamable mission to him territory. The lacrosse of legitimate commerce in those districts wham the slave trade had been put down was something most encouraging. Mr. CAMPBELL, a gentleman who had travelled in the neighbourhood of the King of Dahomey's territory, said that be was of opinion that aa accredited consul, going with a peaceful missies to the King of Dahomey, would be pro perly received. Much no doubt would depend upon the St ases of the person selected for the office, and it wee desirable that be should bear with him ample evidence of the esteem in wbich be was held by his countrymen. Some further conversation took place in reference to this point, and the deputation, having thanked his lordship for the &dengue be bad given them, withdrew, the proceedings having lasted upwards of an hour. The Earl of Macclesfield and Lord Dacre will leave town next week for Bramham Park, Yorkshire, to attend the Royal Agricultural Exhibition to be held at Leeds.

The arrangemente merle ware of a most satisfac tory nature, and this experiment of amalgamating the volun teers with the regular army, to awry out military evolu- Wm, was pronounced even by military critics to be a 00111- piste success. The site selected for the review was at the south end of the common, near the Royal Military Aca demy, and the arena prevented was that of a vast =phi theatre, the circle being kept by a stron detachmeat of mounted artillery from the Riding-house The hmeociatiiiii of the Royal Tradesmen celebrated the it is the mains by dining together at the FifielMillolle Wawa, Greet Qmsa-street.

The Freeman's Journal says :.••• 44 It is stated that bra Majesty the Queen will arrive in Dublin on the 15th of Ansel, and will minas for a week at the Viceregal lodge, hie Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant remaining at the castle during the sojourn of her Majesty. It is also stated that the Queen will proceed from Dublin to Carton, where she will honour his grace the Duke el Leinster by becoming his guest fora week. Her Majesty will visit the camp every day during her stay in the neighbourhood. She will proceed to Killarney and Cork, and it is stated that she will return by Dublin, and on her return to England she will be accom panted by the Triune of Wales." The Cork emit ittaiow says : "It is expected that her Malady will arrive in Kil- Limey oa Monday, the 2fith of August. During two of the four days' sojourn of the royal party at the Lakes they will be the guests of the Right Hoe. Colonel Herbert, M.P.. at Muckmea, and on the o her two days they will be partakers of Lard Viscount Cmtleresee's hospitalities at lenmsre.homie. All the arrangements, including the most magnificent decorations, for the reception and entertain ment of the royal party, at both mansions, are costly in the extreme, and quite commensurate with the exalted station el the illustrious Meagan. A numerous staff of tradesmen sad artiste has arrived from London, who are all busily en• gaged, night and day, under the supervision of Mr. Justin M'Carthy, of Killarney, in executing the several alterations and improvements. The lea hog members of the royal pa rty will, it is expected, be her Majesty the Queen, the Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cam bridge, Lord Viscount Palmerstou, and his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant. It is not yet finally decided whether the party will include any of the juvenile members of the royal Yesterday state dinners were given, in celebration of her Majesty's birthday, by Viscount Palmennoe, Lord John Russell, Sir G.

The Journal des Dela&ls of this morning com ments upon accounts which arrive from the interior of Russia. It seems that the journal La Gironde has received from St. Petersburg a letter dated the 30th of June, containing statements so precise and significant that they have excited general remark. Little Russia, so long a disputed territory, between Poland and Russia, is in an extremely disturbed condition. The object of the agitation, though, as the //Mats observes, it may not be to re-incorpo rate the country with Poland, is scarcely less threatening for the Russian government, if it be true as is stated that the inhabitants, invoking their ancient privileges and independence, de mand political institutions which would guarantee them a distinct provincial existence. In several , governments in other parts of Russia the peasants have assembled in arms to the cries of " Liberty :" and have been dispersed only by force. It appears that the government of Ponta is that in which the revolt is of the most serious character. Five thousand peasants, driven into a village under the lead of one of their number, named Jegortehoff, have defended themselves with the utmost fury against the military commandant of the province. They were not overcome without a regular battle, which lasted an entire day. It is said that the Emperor himself, whose good intentions are generally recog nised, has been received with much coldnees by the population of St. Petersburg on his return from Moscow. "It may be," says the Debate, "that there exists no connexion between the troubles at Warsaw, between those of Penes, between the hopes which are nourished in Little Russia, and the vague algae of discontent which are shown by the nobility and the people of St. Petersburg ; but, nevertheless, Russia, after the proudly severe reign of the Emperor Nicholas, seems no more sheltered from violent disorders than any other European country, and we willingly take this occasion once more to point out that despotism brings no desirable advantage either to princes or people, not even that of se curing them a tranquil sleep." NAPLES. The Official Gazette of Turin publimbes the fol lowing intelligence from Naples : The Bersaglieri who were in pursuit of the brigands who had shown themselves at Solara (Principato Ultra), having arrived at Brsgigliano (Principato Cited, arrested four of them, two of whom were wounded on account of the re sistance they had made. Near Teano (Terra di Leen) a diand of those who bad escaped from Visciano appeared ; they are now being pursued. Near Salmons (Abet= Ultra 2) a band, a few days ago, attacked four soldiers of the 314,11, who were returning to their corps from the hos pital. A few threatening letters and menaces of Moen diarism have been circulated in Calabria, where some moveable columns are exercising strict vigilance. At Pt. Angelo Penwell° (Prineipato Citre) a captain and three privates of the national guards were ►ttacked by a large number of brigands, who robbed them of all they had. At Csaerts, several Bourbonist ex-officers have been arrested on the charge of f►vouring the brigands. The national guard of Gemigliano (Calabria Ultra 2) btu arrested a notorious chief, who has committed many crimes. On the 29th ult. a detachment of the 62nd, aided by some national guards of Torre lifiggiore (Capitanata) met with 35 mounted brigands. After tome fighting the latter fled, leaving six of their men on the field, some killed and others wounded. Other troops from San Severe have been sent in pursuit of them. In a village of hernia (Molise) eight brigands lately broke into a house and robbed it. The carbineers of isernia have already arrested four of them. VENICE. A letter from Venice of the sth, in the Noni of Brume's, says : _ _ . _ When the second quarter's subscription to the Verona Journal became due, all the coffeehouse keepers refused to renew. In fact nothing could be more singular than for them to continue to pay for a journal the evident object of which is to serve—and blindly so—foreign domination, by heaping calumny and insult on the Italian nationality. The police authorities summoned the coffeehouse keepers, and ordered them to renew their subscription' under pain of having their licenses taken from them. It was in rain that they remonstrated against this arbitrary measure. M. de Straub, the director of police, remained inexorable, and, as the majority of those coffeehouse keepers persisted in their refusal the proconsular order wan carried into execu tion. Fourteen establishments have been closed in this city, and as many in the provisoes. The Fenice theatre will remain silent during the next carnival, the company refits. tag, for want of means, to support an expense which would moreover offend the feelings of the country. In addition to the Archdukes, brothers of Ferdinand, ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany, who are here for sea-bathing, the Duke of Brunswick has arrived, and taken up his residence at the Zuchelli Adam At Venice, in the evening of the 4th, a fire broke out in the arsenal, but it was extinguished before any great damage was done. It is supposed to have been wilfully occasioned. 011ZUSZIell 111:LBOIAIDL) FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 11. The Monitcur of to-day contains a decree nomi nating the Marquis de Lavalette Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. • 4.ti. .• EXPRESS FROM PARIS. --.4 (mom ous owx CORUSPONDIXT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The government journals, which made so much mystery about the name of the new minister to Turin, take no notice of the announcement of the ladipendance that M. Benedetti, the Director- General at the Foreign•office, is appointed ; and their silence may, I think, be taken as a confirma tion of the positive assertion of the Temps that the news is true. The statement of the indipendanee that he will not go out till the end of August, be cause he cannot be spared from the Foreign-office until M.Thouvenel'e return from his vacation trip, is probably the truth, which served as the basis of the fiction put forward by the Pays last night, that the decision as to who should be the minister wax reserved until the end of M. Thouvenel's holi day. M. Benedetti is almost an Italian, and is full of Italian sympathies. His nomination is a good omen. The Temps says that the Marquis de Lavalette will supersede the Duke de Gramont as ambassador at Rome, and that the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, now at Berlin, will be the new ambas sador to Constantinople. Dr. Bayer, one of the Emperor's physicians, has gone to Vichy for a consultation. M. Le Clerq has left Paris for Berlin to discuss the objections raised by the Bavarian government to the proposed commercial treaty between France and the Zollverein. It is not doubted that the difficulties in the way of the signature of the treaty will be overcome, but the negotiations may pos sibly drag on for a long while. The arguments in the Mirka trial were brought to a close at a late hour last night, and judgment will be delivered to:morrow (Thursday). M. Mathieu was not well enough to reply as he had intended to do, but he took the opportunity of em phatically denying a report that lie had feigned illness because he did not like his case, and desired to express his belief that M. Mires was innocent. There is more activity now at the Bourse, in consequence of the subscription for the Trentenaire Bonds, which opens to-morrow. Many people are selling Rente to enter into the subscription, and some speculators are buying in anticipation of a rise to result from the success of the great govern ment operation. To-day the Recite for account rose 10c., closing at 67fr. 85c., after having been quoted at 90c. ; Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. The Southern Railway rose Bfr. 75c. The other lines were about lfr. 25c. The Sabet Public says that the Minister of State has interdicted the performance of Tartuffe, at Lyons. Madame A. Pleasy, who was to have played the heroine, vainly wrote one of her prettiest letters to the minister to endeavour to shake his resolution. It therefore appears that one of Motare's favourite plays, which is con tinually performed without let or hindrance in Paris, may not without danger be represented at Lyons. How funny all this is ! Count Walewaki, the Minister of State of a Sovereign who has just acknowledged Italy, and is all but excommunicated by the Pope—Count Walewaki, the legally regis tered father of the two children of Rachel, the Jewish actress, prohibits Moliere in the second city of France to please the priests. The Safest says they will at least read Tartuffe in Lyons, and " the reading will have all the relish of forbidden fruit." A letter from Turin, of July 8, in the P rem, 1114)11 : It is still very difficult to get any reliable news about the Pope's health. In Rome itself people are obliged to be content with flying rumours, and the optimism of the car dinals. A person just arrived here from Rome states posi tively thetthe Pope has not given a public reception for mere than a month. A more significant fact than all the rest is that pretenders to the papal chair are already canvassing. The secret college is divided into two very distinct camps— those who will yield nothing, and those would gladly give up the temporal power. The present number of cardinals is sixty seven. If I may credit a marked list which I have before me, there only eight of the latter party, end these eight are all Italians. The foreign cardinals, without exception, are looked upon favourable to the temporal power. Nevertheless, when it comes to the point, there may be • greet many shades of opinion among them. Cardinal Vermicelli, archbishop of Ferrara, who is far from being a liberal, is openly spoken of as likely to be the successor of Pius IX Whether the Pope moven or not, the position of the Holy See is a most embarrassed one. The St. Peter's Pence Fund yields scarcely anything; the long abundant source of pious charity seems drying up. It is more than • fortnight since the Ansonia has had a single offering to record. EPISCOPAL TYRANNY IN ALGIERS. The Allele calla atteution to a curious lawsuit now pending before the Council of State between Madame Bizet, a schoolmistress, and M. Paris, the Bishop of Algiers.

AMERICA. -.- LIVERPOOL, WEDNPADAT. --- The screw-steamer Jura, which touched at Lon donderry yesterday, arrived here this morning. By her we receive New York journals of the 27th, and Quebec of the 29th ultimo, with telegraphic advice. from New York (already published) to the evening of the 29th. The elections in Canada were progr g without disturbance. The returns generally were favour able to the government candidates. Elections were also progressing in New Brunswick, and, so fix as known, had resulted in a decided victory for the late government. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, after visiting Niagara, had returned to Canada Rut. He was at Lachine on the 27th, and Montreal on the 28th ultimo, and was expec ted reach Quebec on the evening of the Jura 's departure. There was a report that Lord Lyons and the other foreign ambassadors at Washington intended to remove their head-quarters to Baltimore, until the national trcubles shall have been settled. The case of the British ship Hiawatha, seized by the United States naval authorities for an alleged infringement of the blockade at City Point, Vir ginia, was still pending in the United States Dis trict Court, New York, and was regarded with con siderable interest, as involving the whole question of the blockade. The New York Tribune, which gave currency to the statement that peace propositions had reached Washington, publishes the following telegram upon the subject from its special correspondent at Washington Washingtou, Jane 28. The Secretary of State authorises a denial of our state ment that peace propositions have been submitted. We ' expected that of course. Diplomacy has the same pre rogative as grand lamenv. and can plead " not guilty" te the indictment. Let the administration recal James E Harvey from Lisbon, and break up the camps on the other side of the river for an advance to Richmond, and the country will believe him and discredit us. Otherwise they will take his disclaimer for just what it is worth, and no more. Another Washington telegram says : All the reports and specigatiels &boa • disposition in Washington on the part of the President or Cabinet, Ge neral Scott, or anybody eke, to favour compromise or delay, have no foundation in truth. _ _ That the President's Message at the opening of the extra session of Congress will recommend any compromise, having for its object the reconciliation of those now in arms against the Federal government, no one at all acquainted with the views of the administration believes. On the contrary, it will be doubtless found that the course already initiated will be firmly maintained in consequence of the inaugural address ; and on this as on all other subjects the administration is one, undivided, and indivisible. Lord Lyons, accompa nied by the Secretary of State, officially visited the Presi dent to-day, in order to deliver to him the Royal letter an nouncing the death of the Queen's mother, the Duchess of Kent. General Dix had ►o interview with the Secretary of War and General Soott this morning, end will at once assume the command of the Federal forces across thr Potomac. The government is understood to have changed its plans within the last fortyaight boars. The campaign in Virginia will hereafter be carried on with more vigour, and advanced movements will soon be made. The cause of ;hii)gei7ielieved to be an unmistake able demand of our troops and the country at large for decisive action against the rebels. Secretary Chase, to his financial report to the President and Congresa will in all probability, and I may say positively, recommend a mode. cats revision of the Morrell Tariff Bill. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times gives an emphatic denial to the reports that General Scott had changed his plans, and that he purposed an immediate commencement of active operations. He declares that unless something should transpire to hasten events, we are further than ever removed from a battle. The only con flicts likely to occur for some time are mere skir mishes between scouting parties. The writer then proceeds as follows : The first step in General Scott's programme is the eon. oentration of Federal troops in Virginia and the other border states in such large bodies as to make it madness for the rebels to make any attack. While thus intimidating them the presence of our forces will encourage the loyal citizens to rue in sufficient numbers to prevent any furtheroutrages, to cut off their resources, increase the dissatisfaction in their camps, and cause desertion, and by thus hamming them, ultimately demoralise the rebel forces, and drive them from the border states. He is con. fident that this accomplished, the loyalty of the border states is fixed. Then it is his purpose to transpoi t by sea an immense force to operate against the Gulf states. Thee will be landed under the protection of our men-of-war at the prominent points on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and thus threatened by approaches from the sea, the authori ties of the different states will at ones recall their troops from the main body, and thus break up their grand army, and make it powerless for offensive movements. The fragments in the different states being then cut off from supplies from the border states, will be driven to accept terms from Washington. It is no part of the plan, as at present arranged, to attack the debris of the rebel army, or to attempt to retake any of the stolen forts, as the restoration of them will be made one of the conditions dictated to the rebels when they find them. selves forced to accept terms. General Scott IA confident that the troops will not remain at any point more than two or three days, which will suffice to accomplish the pure of defeating any further offensive movements of the rebels. This will avoid the danger of an exposure to the malaria of the southern coasts dunng the hot months. By January he thinks that the rebellion will be entirely defeated, and the Union reconstructed. The Memphis Avalanche of the 26th Rays : The editor has been shown a despatch from the Southern commissioners now in Europe, brought through Canada, to the effect that the sum of two millions has been offered as an advance on the cotton crop and th at France and Eng. land will soon acknowledge the Southern Confederacy. The Avalanche firmly believes the despatch to be true.
