TO OUR READER - • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • Ule edition of the /byres, is published every evening during the racing season, containing the remits of the day's mew Wit often hear discussions on the connexion be tween the American war and slavery, a topic on which notoriously the greatest differences of opi nion prevail in this country. In default of direct evidence on this point, which evidently belongs even more to this providential direction of events than to the intentions of men, we may do well to look at the celebrations of the Ist of August, kept as a festival by the Abolitionists of the United States, in commemora tion of West India emancipation. This year's celebration hail been looked to with eagerness by all who want to know what to think about the sirens and prospects of the civil war and the set tlement of the Union ; and the addresses of emi nent men were sure to be more intently listened to, and more zealously distributed, than ever before. In return for American complaints of want of sympathy in tho English, English friends bad already asked what they were to think and expect, so long as the I'RI24IIOENT's Messages and the debates in Congress omitted all mention of slavery, and every mail brings a bushel of Amur maces that nothing will be done about slavery, be cause it has nothing to do with the " rebellion." It is felt everywhere, in America certainly, and we hope in England, that slavery is the beginning, middle, and end of the whole mischief ; and it is felt everywhere, in America if not here, that slavery is virtually at an end in that country, became there is no possible arrangement which can make its con tinued existence practicable. These are points of agreement. The points of difference are very striking, and were broadly exhibited on the let of August. The band of Abolitionists proper in the United States have been truly a band of brothers in their spirit of self-sacrifice during their 30 years of prober tion by hardship. From the accomplished gentle man, sacrificing his career and position in society, to the humble clerk or artisan who sacrificed his bread, all have been a true glory to their country while the nation was undecided between two issues. Now that the character of the probation is changed, the differences which exist among all congregated men are showing themselves very instructively. We must mark these signs of the times and the men, if we hope to sympathise with the right, or rightly to understand the issue, whatever A may be ; and the public speaking on the let of this month gives us just whit we want. As might be expected, the most enlightened and sagacious men are the most adequate to the new time, and answer best to the new tests. Though persecuted in their own towns up to the 4th of March (by hirelings of the South acting upon the fears of the most conservative part of society) they have already forgotten their wrongs, and buried in oblivion the offences of their neighbours. Careful above everything not to quench the amok • ing flax, nor turn back any who would now march by their side, they are silent about themselves, genial with their neighbours, forbearing with the government, and entirely occupied with the question bow best to accomplish the removal of the peat curse of their country. They perceive that any Congressional action, and any official notice from the PRVIDCNT, would probably raise the slaves in insurrection at once, and bring on that asrvtls war which they, and they alone, have hitherto averted. They, who have been called fanatics for thirty years, now cheerfully submit to the charge, brought by the real fanatics, of being time-servers. The old leader, the unfaltering and unchangeable Gauntness, is still at the head of the little band— steady and serene and sagacious as ever. Those who speak and act differently are man no less de voted, but of a less calm temperament, and, on that account, less accurate views, and a lees genial temper. These are the men who cannot believe in the aincenty of England, who criticise every act of their own Government, prophecy dismal things in all directions, celebrate anew the past sins and defaults of their neighbours, and repel them from co-operation in their day of repentance and amend ment• There is so much individuality among the Abolitionists, as among other American., that it would be rash to point out any leaders as samples of • Clads ; but G•1111140:4 always was and always will be truly regarded as leader in the redemption of the negro population in Ame rica, and, as a direct consequence, of the liberties of the citizens of the republic. On the other hand, Mr. Wzsriztz. Pniti.irm has chosen to make himself the spokesman of the narrower and more superficial order of the abolition party. His ad dress at Abile;don, Massachusetts, on the lit of August, will be read with surprise and regret by multitudes who have been wont to delight in his striking oratory ; but that is a small considera tion in comparison with that of the mischief he is doing in misapprehending the state of affairs him self, and misleading others whose coot gious psi sion seems to have perverted his judgment and feelings at a time when his soundness of faculty is most important. He excited surprise some weeks ago by proposing the annexation of Canada to the Union, to balance the territory of the South. Now he &meows, as one of the ground■ of his vaticinatiotui about the conflict, that England will or dues render secret aid to the Southern Confederacy, in money and amts, having nothing so mach at heart as the severance of the Union, in order to destroy the manufactures and commerce of the North ! While his neighbours have been haunted by an uneasy dream of Eng land's countenance of the South, Mr. Penilw seems to be oppressed by a nightmare of appre hension. The occasion of the address being N% est India emancipation, he begin with extolling that THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1861. deed as the noblest in history, not without an inuendo that it was perhaps done from self interest, and in apparent forgetfulness of the 20,000,000/. paid down by the nation. In the midst of his admiration of the deed he assumes that England's sympathies are with the Confede rates, whom she will strengthen to seize Mexico on the one hand and Cuba on the other. He is so out of love with the Federal Government that ho declares England right in disbelieving all its professions and distrusting all its acts ; and yet he directs the popular fears to an alliance between England, France, and the Southern Confederacy, if the North does not close the war in a year. He professes to separate the English Government from the English people (not explaining how he supposes the Government to exist without national support), and immediately l after refuses to trust the middle classes any more than the Administration. Next, he asserts that the Government and " Lancashire " together will overbear all opposition, and ruin the good cause at their pleasure. The surprise caused by these turns of oratory may be lessened by attention to the views Mr. PHILLIPS takes of his own country and its people. Everybody is wrong there ; everything looks black ; the Government tampers with traitors, and appoints to office the enemies of freedom ; the people of the North will not stand two years of stopped mills, stagnant industry, and charge of the families of volunteers ; and England and France will step in to build up the Confederacy next year. Happily, it is not necessary to accept all these dismal prophecies ; but it is a public misfortune that Mr. PHILLies should utter them. Either he t have lost his judgment under the influence of popular passion, or he is making political capital of the prejudices of his neighbours, at this turn of his public life. His course for many years of devotedness justifies our refusing to adopt the last supposition ; and it therefore remains for us to bear in mind the strength of prejudice and pas sion in society which could drive such a man so far astray. Probably no man of his mark can now be spared from home ; but if he could come to England, the change of air might be good for him, morally and politically ; and he would derive comfort from what he would learn here. Mean time, we may be thankful that there are steadfast and reasonable men over there, like GARRISON and the non-political abolitionists, while such men as ‘VENDLLL PHILLIPS can be drawn aside by any shallow current of passion to make shipwreck of a hardly earned reputation for ability and patriot ism. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. KILLARNEY, WXDNICADAT Mow. The royal party drove this morning, attended by Colonel Herbert, round Dalin Island, and other portionA of Muckroas demesne. They baited Sorc Lake, to witness the stag hunt intended by Colonel Herbert to take place. There wane great assemblage of boar, crowded by respectable people, who loudly Cheered her Majesty. She remained on the lake till sir, and the state barge went repeatedly through the flotilla of boats. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred were rowed about in a race gig. A stag was started, but still the efforts of men and hounds (Maurice O'Connell's pack) failed to drive the stag into the lake. After sir the Queen returned to Muckross-house. (nor ova aroma. Ae(:osr 26. Her Majesty, having been fully satisfied by the evidences of loyalty which see received in the Irish capital, started this afternoon for Killarney in a special train, to make room for which the ordinary traffic had been suspended. The royal train left the King's-bridge station at one o'clock, aido arrived at Killarney at about half-past six, being a little behind tune, in consequence of a delay occa sioned by the reception of an address at the Lime rick Junction from the county of that name. With the exception of this little interruption the journey was a most prosperous one, and managed with the usual efficiency and punctuality of the Great Southern and Western Company. The previous sentence of popular exclusion having been a little relaxed a loyal crowd awaited her Majesty at every station, and there was earliest cheering on the one side, and gracious recognition on the other, botweeu the sovereign and her people, all the way down. At the different stations commendable exertions in the way of decoration had been made, in the shape of laureland clematis, and evergreens, so that the whole route presented—what was very much wanted— gay and festive appearance. At the Killarney Junction, in compliance with what were understood to be her Majesty's wishes, only a very few favoured persons were admitted, amongst whom I recognised Lord Castlerosse, the honoured host of the day ; Colonel Herbert, who was to be the equally honoured host of the morrow ; Lord Cloncurry, General Bloom field and his aide, a number of Roman catholic clergymen, and Mr. °awry, Lord Kenniare's effi cient and popular agent, together with the whole of the railway directurs. As I looked from the platform down the line the whole laadacape ap peared to be closed in by tremeudous hills, through the interstices of which the curling steam of the royal train could be noticed long before it arrived. When it did arrive, the reception of her Majesty wax just what the officials had directed, namely, silent and decorous, but without any of those demonstrations which in happier times were wont to greet every journey of the Sovereign. I have again been told that her Majesty, whilst deeply appreciative of the obedience and sympathy of her subjects, is very much chagrined that either should have been put to so severe a test, and would bay been much better pleased had they been allowed to give vent to their feelings in the good old-fashioned insular manner. Lord Castlerosse's carriages were in waiting for her Majesty and suite at the terminus, and in them her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Princesses Alice and Helena, and the royal suite proceeded slowly through that portion of Killarney town which leads to Killarney House. There a few balconies had been erected, for which tickets had been distributed amongst certain charitable societies in the town, and these were sufficiently crammed with females in the blue cloaks of the country, interspersed with a few of the innovations of modern fashion, but ou the whole exhibiting a balcony audience very dif ferent from what the Queen is in the habit of appearing before iu England. Their greeting was, however, cordial and enthusiastic, and a terribly rough crowd which thronged the road was still more vehement in its demonstrations. An escort of the Ist Royal Dragoons cleared the way, and the road was lined by the constabulary, who exhibited on this occasion their usual mar tial appearance, coupled with their usual disinclination to understand any observation that might be addressed to them. The royal eortige took a circuitous route, in order that the Queen might have the opportunity of exploring some of the beauties of the Keninare domain, so that it was nearly seven o'clock before she arrived at the man sion itself. Killarney House is not, as some enthusiastic local describers would have it, exactly a second Ver sailles, but it is an old--fashioned, substantial house, very like dozens of chateaux which one would meet with in Normandy or Brit tany. It is decidedly French in its exte rior, but the elevation is hardly of suffi cient dignity to match with the natural beauty and sublimity of the "surroundings." One side opens to a spacious terrace in the Louis Qtratorze style, bounded by woods of luxuriant foliage on each side, and terminating in the Lower Lake, beyond which is seen the magnificent cluster of hills known as Macgillicuddy's Reeks. So ninny successive generations of tourists have exhausted the vocabulary of panegyric with respect to the scenery of Killarney, that I must be excused if, on the present occasion, I indulge in only a reasonable amount of rapture ; but still I cannot help saying that the vista, as seen this evening from the garden steps of the mansion, was one of the finest that could possibly be imagined. The ter race, which is wide and ornamented with parterres of flowers, seemed almost imperceptibly to lose itself in the placid water, whilst beyond towered the stupendous Reeks with the clouds playing half-way down their sides, and a series of atmospheric effects being produced such as it will be necessary to go to Killarney to understaud or appreciate. This even ing, previous to her Majesty's arrival, the prevailing topics were, not the features of the scenery but the probabilities of the weather, and the verdict of the moat experienced boatmen, including Mr. Spillage, whrx.c feats of echo bugling are well known to most tourists, was that " Queen's weather" was likely to prevail even in Killarney during the present royal visit. Fur the informa tion of future tourists, I may mention that the favourable symptoms were, that the "Reeks' looked clearly defined, but not too near, that the clouds were semi-transparent, admitting the smallest possible glimpse of empyrean blue through their filmy texture, and that the surface of the lake was smooth, without that sullen stagnant hook which it usually puts on when it expects to be disturbed by a " shower. " I have before alluded to the resemblauce which an Irish shower bears to a Scotch mist in its power of wetting strangers to the skin ; and 1 think I may fairly say that Kil larney is pre-eminently distinguished fur the pro duction of the pluvial national staple. There is an old story of Charles James Fox having been once at Killarney, on a visit to the then Herbert of Mums.% and, being weather bound during his visit, his host consoled him daily with the assur ance that the rain would soon be over, as it was " only a shower." The great statesman at last left iu despair, and some two years after, when Mr. Herbert was taking the oaths as member for Tralee, he shouted out across the table, "In that shower over yet ?" This time, however, be need not wait so long, as to all appearance we are going to have a reasonable spell of fine weather. A very select assemblage waited at the garden vestibule of Killarney House, to witness her Majesty's arrival. Lady Castlerosse stood on the top step and received the Sovereign, and the usual greeting of stately courtesy passed amongst all parties around. The junior royal family were much admired, especially the Princess Alice and Prince Alfred, and there was quite as much cheering and shouting as could have been expected from so sparse au assemblage as had been permitted to collect within the park boundaries. Whilst the hoot and hostess are making their obeisances, and the Queen is graciously acknowledging the homage of her subjects, I shall just step in -doors, and see what the old French chateau is like in which the Queen is to sleep to-night. Very great exertions have evidently been made to render the house worthy the reoep tion of so august a visitor. It has been thoroughly painted inside and out, and refurnished with articles of a new and costly description. The walls have been coloured in delicate tints, and the windows decked in chintz of a bright and flowery pattern. The pictures are few, and not remarkable, but a con siderable number of articles of vertu ornament the various apartments. The Queen's suite of rooms has been got up with creditable care and in careful har mony with the architecture of the house, and they are provided with many tasteful ornaments, which will no doubt attract the royal attention. There are here also some good old Dresden and Italian chins, Limoge enamels, and antique plate, and the whole surrounded by cool and pleasant chintz dra peries, which have a warm and cheerful effect. There is harmony and good taste everywhere, and although her Majesty may have visited many more palatial residences, she cannot but feel that here everything possible had been done to make the place worthy of her re ception. As a matter of statistics, I may add, that sleeping accommodation has bean provided for 114 persons, and that every bed in the house will be occupied by the Queen and suite on the present occasion. The whole force of the decorators seems to have been thrown into the banquetting room, which is really a handsome apartment. It is not deco rated with the portraits of successive Kenmares, as Knowsley is with a long line of Derby., but it is light and well proportioned, and looks exceedingly fresh and well, with its table laid out dla Rune, and its tempting display of fruit, all, as I have been informed, from Covent-garden Market. It is all very handsome, very fresh, and very comfortable, and will, I have no doubt, prove perfectly satisfactory to her Majesty. I do not think I have much more to say of the first day of the royal visit to Killarney. Imme diately after her Majesty had retired within Kil larney House the people scattered themselves over the town, and amused themselves with comparing the amount of personal recognition which each had received from his or her Sovereign. At night fire works were thrown up from O'Donoghne's Prison, a rock in the centre of the lake, upon which tradi tion says that the Irish Arthur often chained his refractory subjects. Her Majesty came out on the garden esplanade to witness the display, and her subjects, stationed in many boats on the lake, par ticipated in her enjoyment. Her Majesty goes to morrow evening to Colonel Herbert's, and on Thursday at 12 o'clock will start for Scotland. (nom its emir CIRCULAR.) KILLARNEY HOUSE, Atom!' 27. Yesterday being the birthday of the Priuce Con sort, his royal highness received the congratulations of her Majesty and the royal family. At a - quartßr before else o'clock the Queen mad the Prince Consort, with the Prince of Wales, Princess Alice, Princess Helens, and Prince Alfred, left the Viceregal Lodge for the Kingsbridge station. In the carriage with her Majesty were the Prises Cowart, Priuuess Alice, and his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.

The train arrived at the Killarney station at half-past six o'clock. Her Majesty was receive.l by Viscount Castlerosse, the Right Hon. H. Herbert, Lioutenaut of the County, and other gentlemen. Her Majesty, with the Prince Consort and the rest of the royal party, entered the carriages, which were waiting, and proceeded, amidst the clievra of an immense multitude, to Killarney House, the residence of Viscount Castleroase, where her Majesty passed the night.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNDWAT Erminic. An the festival proceeds its success in a pecuniary point of view becomes lens • matter of anxiety. The even ing concert last night wits • bumper, the receipts being between two and three hundred pounds more than on the corresponding evening in 1858, so that upon the whole yes terday's receipts will be little less —if, taking all things into account, they are at all below—the Tuesday of last festival. This morning the hall was so well filled that the receipts must have been good, but at the moment of writing we are not in possession of the return. The concert last evening was a good one in every respect, though, ee usual with miscellaneous concert*, there was not much to remark upon ; the selections were the most admired compositions of the highest class of composers— Mendelasohn, Ileyerbeer, Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi, Rossini, and other composers of that reek. The concert was rendered additionally attractive by the circumstance that Mdlle. Patti was to make her tint appearance before au audience in Birmingham. To • certain extent this was a drawback, for all interest was centred in this distinguished lady, and for awhile the audience, not the performances or the performers, lacked spirit, all interest being reserved for the distinguished lady referred to. But before her appear. rum Signor Giuglini woo, and most deservedly, an encore in Donizettee air, " Spirits gentile," which has seldom, if it has ever, been rendered in so magnificent • style. It was towards the close of the first put when Mlle. Patti entered the orchestra to sing Verdi's air from Premiere, "Ah ! fare e lei ;" nothing could exceed the warmth of the reception, though it was evident that curiosity was so considerable an ingredient in the feeling of the audience as to restrain enthusiasm ; but, prepared to be pleased, there was appa rently en excess of expectation in that respect ; in fact, the impression left by this, Mdlle. Patti's first effort in this town, was evidently most favourable, and certainly she has never appeared to greater advantage. She sang again in the second part the air from Sontiambula, "Ah I non, credos minute." This was her greet success with her audience. When she came to the front of the orchestra she was greeted with immense applause ; all present now seemed to feel that they knew this "syren of song"—tbat her gifts in that respect are wonderful, perhaps unique in their way, and enthusiasm took the place of mere curiosity accordingly. Patti was on this occasion encored. Two overtures, that in the first part of the concert from the Siege of Corinth, and, in the second, from Der Fee yeehutz, were rendered to perfection, bringing out fully the powers of the band ; and Mendelssohn's pianoforte concerto in minor, by Mine Arabella Goddard, was played with that lady's faultless execution, the orchestral accompaniments being given in superb style. Such aro the salient features el the concert, which was in every respect • success. The following were the receipts at the doors :—Provident and viesepreesslent's seats, 451.; secured seats, 691/. 10e; un secured seats, 1512.—total, 8921. 10c, making the day's re ceipts 2,7021. 7s. 10d. The performance of Handel's oratorio Samson has been ooked forward to with more than usual interest. This work was given for the first time at a Birmingham Festival in the year 1852, when it achieved • success so far beyond anticipation, that it is not in the least surprising that the committee arranged to repeat it this year. The company included of the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, president; Lord and Lady Ingestre ; Sir Francis Scott, lardy Scott, and party ; General Fielding, Lady Emily Harding', Lady May Fielding, and party ; Esrl of Powys, the Hon. Miss Herbert, the Bemoan Windsor, the Hon. Windsor Clive, M.P., and party ; the Rev. Mr. Childs and petty, the Hon. and Rev.

The following is the official return of this morning's attendance and receipts : —President and Vice• President's seats, at 21s. each, 144, 1511.45. ; secured seats, 21■. each, 649, 6811. 9s. ; unsecured seats, 10s. 6d. each, 396, 2171.18..; doaations and collections, 262!. 3s. 6d.: total number st teediug, 1,189; total receipt., 1,302!. 14s. sd. Her Majesty is expected at Kingstown about 7 o'clock this evening, when, if the west Wee be fine, the royal yacht will sail directly for Holyhead. Should the weather be threatening abe will remain in the harbour till morning, with the Queen and the royal party on board. Her Majesty is to inspect the harbour works at Holyhead, and then pro ceed northward, breakfasting at Perth on Saturday morn ing, and arriving at Balmoral in time for dinner on the same day. Large crowds visited the royal yacht at Kings town throughout the whole of Tuesday. Admission was granted freely to persons presenting their visiting cards. The Hero and Trafalgar remain at Kingstown awaiting her ➢(ajesty's departure. The committee of the Arts Exhibi tion invited the crew of the royal yacht to visit the Exhihi• tins yesterday, and the railway company gave them free transit for the purpose. The Duke of Hamilton and the Marquis of Douglas are staying at Brodick Castle, Isle of Arran, and purpose remaining there several weeks. The duchess and Lady Mary Hamilton are shortly especial to pass through town on their way to Scotland from Paris. The Duke of Argyll is still in Scotland. The duchess is staying with the Duchess (Dowager) of Suther land in PIIIii. The Duke and Duchea4 of Beaufort and the Marquis of Worcester are at Llaegattock, in Wales. The duke and marquis have had capital sport In grouse shooting. • We learn that the Marchioness (Dowager) of Calmham is suffering under severe indisposition at Bitrens, her seat near Canterbury.

The United Staten mail steamer Fulton, Captain J. A. Wotton, which left New York on the 17th inst., arrived off Cowes last evening, shortly after 8 o'clock, and went on to Havre, after trans-ship ping mails, &c., for Southampton. She brings 31 passengers for Southampton and 84 for Havre. President Lincoln has issued an important pro clamation, interdicting all commercial intercourse by sea or laud henceforth with the states in re bellion against the government, with the exception of Eastern Virginia, and such portions of the other recusant states as may be loyal to the goveniment. The carriage of goods, chattels, wares, merchan dise, or persons, is strictly forbidden, and the offi cials of the government are ordered to forfeit all vessels and other conveyances that may be em ployed in transporting such proscribed articles from any of the states in arms against the government, without permission from the President through the Secretary of the Treasury. General McClellan, while dealing summarily with the insubordinate soldiers of the 79th New York and 2nd Maine regiments, is taking active measures to preserve the army from deworaliaation. He has issued au order restricting the visits of all civi lians or others to the several camps or to any part of the Virginia side of the Potomac, except those provided with passes from the general in com mand, the Secretary of War, or the Provost Marshal. All outstanding puma are revoked. This measure has, doubtless, been adopted, in consequence of the fact, which (says the New York Herald) has been ascertained beyond doubt, that Washington is teeming with traitors and spies. The investigation of the Potter Committee will reveal an extraordinary condition of things in the public departments. It is stated on good authority that there are no less than 143 known secessionists in the service of the government at Wiethington, and seventy-five others strongly suspected of en tertaining treasonable sentiments. Some of them were employed in the arsenal on the manufacture of shells to be used against the rebels, which may account for the fact that many of these projectiles used at Bull's Run did not explode. An arrest of a supposed agent of the rebels was made on the 18th. A passenger from Liver pool by the Persia, named Serrell,who, it is alleged, boasted while on the voyage that he was the bearer of a large sum of money for the use of the rebel government, was arrested by the United States Custom-house officers, on information received from the other passengers, and upon searching his bag gage the sum of 200,000 dela. in Bank of England notes was found therein. He was taken to the District Attorney's office, and admitted to bail in the sum of 40,000 dole. The grand jury of the United States Circuit Court in New York had brought tin an important paper and presented it to Judge Shipman, condemnatory of the "treasonable" course of the following papers :—Journal of Commerce, the Daily and Weekly News, the Day Book, the Freeman's Journal, and the Daily Eagle of Brook lyn, which express themselves opposed to what they call " the present unholy war," and for the utterance of language which if expressed in the streets would be considered a crime against the government. The grand jury are aware that the conduct of these disloyal papers is abhorred by all loyal men, and hope that it is subject to indict ment and the punishment of the court. Rumours were prevalent in St. Louis that Gene ral Ben. McCulloch was positively killed at the battle of Davis Creek.

The Paris correspondent of the Independance says :—" The government of the Emperor is pre paring to send into the departments a certain num ber of the auditors of the Council of State, whose duty it shall be to observe the feeling of the pro vinces, and to supervise the reports made by the prefectoral authorities. The government is anxious to know the real tendency of public opinion in France, with a view to the probable and speedy dissolution of the Corps Legislatif. It is generally expected that the Emperor will hare recourse to this step towards the end of the year. The disso lution of the Corps Legislatif would be the almost inevitable consequence of the fall of the temporal power of the papacy, which people seem to expect by that time.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVLNINO. _ _ Although there are many matters worthier of notice than the weather, I feel bound to retract my charges in that direction. The fine bright heat has returned to us in all its intensity. In the south they are calling out for rain. The Union charges Lord Palmerston with having in the decline of his days made a compact with his Satanic Majesty to deliver over to him (the Devil) the Catholic, Roman, and Apostolic Church. The ground of this accusation is the landing of British Marines to drill at Castellanusre. M. Taaile Delord's comment in the Sie.le upon this necro mantic effusion is, " Ple don't think Cialdini wants any aid to put down brigandage. The thing is accomplished, and the four hundred British Marines had no share in it. Since the legitimist journals are resolved not to make the best of the matter, they would do well at least to let the Devil alone, and invent some better-founded accusations against Lord Palmerston." A Paris correspondent of the Incispendanee points out, in an able and lucid examination of the Roman question, the great risk whi3h the catholic church runs in forcing the Italian people to choose between their patriotism and their religion. This is so obvious that I have often heard it asserted here that Napoleon is hastening the destruction of the temporal power of Rome in order to found upon it, ruins an independent Gallican church, with Roman doctrines, but a national discipline. This brings us to the moral of About's " Question Ro maine "—the head of the Frouch government one with the head of the French church. The Minister of Marine, in his report published in the Muni/cur, recommends that tho number of the officers iu the navy be increased. He asks for au addi tion of 10 captains of ships of the line, 20 cap tains of frigates, 50 lieutenants, and 25 etwigtots. He proposes a like addition next year. The rea sons assigned for this increase are the recent crea tion of new naval stations, and the increased im portance given to old ones ; the demands of the establishment in Cochin China, the increase ! acti vity given to the repression of the slave trade, and the necessity of maintaining an imposing force both in the East and on the *oast of Africa. At the Bourse prices were generally flatter. Rente fell sc. for account, leaving off at GBtr. 83c. both for cash and aocouut. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. for cask, and lfr. 25c. for account, the closing prices being 760 fr. and 761 fr. 23c. respectively. The Governor cf the Bank of France was in formed some time since that several skilfully executed forgeries were current in the demo tomtits, and police officers were employed to discover the forgers, but for some time without success. At length, it is said, they ore on the track of the malefactor. On a search being made in the dwelling-house of a landed proprietor in the arrondissement of St. Jean d'Angely, all the apparatus for fording bank notes were discovered. The owner of the house has been committed to prison.
