The chief movers were in custody. 'rho Popish riots in Canada had been entirely sup pressed. and t;avazti had resumed his leetur•s. Accounts from llavannah state that 1,11. 1 0 slaves had just been lauded near that city. THE PRESS. Lord Ellesmere and party had paid a visit of three days to Philadelphia, returning to New York on the 17th, to attend a banquet given to them by the directors of the Crystal Palace. A locomotive exploded on the New York and Erie Rail. road on the night of the Pith. Eleven pe►sons were killed, and several da►►gerously wounded. WEST INDIES. The 3fagdalona arrived yesterday at Southampton with the West India mails. She brought nearly a m►llion of dollars, a portion of which are to pay Mexican dividends. Yellow fever prevailed at Kingston, St. Thomas, and Port loyal. At the latter place Commodore M`Quhae (the commodore on that stat►on) was among the victims. Eleven cases proved fatal on board the Magdalena on her homeward voyage, amongst whom was Lieutenant Scrivens, the Admiralty agent. The Trod had lost first and second engineer and seven men, and the Medway several of her crew. The dissensions between the teovenior of Jamaica and the Parliament remained as befiire, without any pros. pect of amicable anw►gement. The House of Assembly adjourned from day to day, having refused to do further• business with the Council ; the latter body had asked for a recess, but the tioven►or refused to grant it.

RECONCILIATIONS.—The Emperor Francis Joseph has ordered it to be publicly notified that the com memoration of the battle of Collin (June Is, 1757 ) shall henceforth cease. The military and church festival celebrated at that date, this year in the Au gustine Church at Vienna, may, therefore, be con sidered the last echo of that enmity which, for nearly a century, reigned between two neighbouring coun tries and nations—Pntssia and Austria. SOLDIER-PAUPERINN IN PRUSSIA.—The Zeit ( Tiniest) of Berlin states that there are at present in Prussia about .10,00 retired soldiers, unable to work, and living in poverty. For their relief the King has allowed a yearly sum of 50,000 thalers, from which 400X10 men receive 12 thalers each per annum. This, however, being insufficient, the society for assisting invalid soldiers is making a collection through the land. Of the times of Frederick the Great, 10$ veterans are yet alive, of whom the oldest, named Karnass, lives in Berlin, and is 10$ years old. Sundry Ministerial transmutations are foretold in last evenings 4'4lam/ord. " If rumours afloat are entitled to any credit," says our contemporary, " Ministers have sonic small attliirs to settle that would make a prologation ur adjournment at this time particularly convenient. lord John Russell, it is said, is going to the Rouse of Lords, the I hike of Newcastle to Nina, Mr. Gladstone to his old position us Colonial Minister; who, according to report, is seeking to *moved Mr. Gl:ulstone as Finance Minister, and to succeed I John Russell us .I.2tuler of the House of 1111 l 1111114, it were a calumny to repeat. That Mr. tiladston has utte:ly broken down, however. as a Finance Minister is confessed on all shies, and his unfitness for a Leader of the Rouse of Commons was confessed when his party were driven to the snoopily of placing themselves under a leader without office. More of this, however, here after." The great Bridgwater estate case, involving the inherit ance of 70,000/. per annum, has been argued before the [louse of Load on appeal during the past week. All the facts have a'-eady transpired from the proceedings in the inferior courts. The chief issue was raised upon the point whether the proviso in the will of the last Duke of Bridg water, which made the transmission of his estates in a certain line depend upon the success of the tenant in tail in o btaining the title of Marquis or Duke of Bridgwater, L. 4 void or valid. Arguments were urged pro anal erni upon this head at enormous length on several successive days, and their lordships, having referred some questions to the judges, have postponed judgment for the present.
