VARIoUS stories about the approaching royal interview at Warsaw, each more surprising than the other, have been going the round of the rem homey German. press during the last fortnight. The object of these semi-official rumours le appa reutly to provoke public curiosity, and excite the attention of Europe to the proposed meeting, bat in this they have hitherto signally failed. Europe is too deeply interested in the great national struggle going on in the South to be much con cerned about the private meeting of two despotic rulers, with • few of their satellites, in the North. At length, however, we are officially told what the object of the Warsaw meeting really is, and the terms of the announcement are significant enough to merit special notice. Russia has voluntarily come forward as the herald and interpreter of the new Holy Alliance. Prince GoIIIIIWHAKOI.7 has had a long conference with the French Ambassador in reference to " the general state of things "in Europe and the affairs of Italy." If we nay trust the telegraphic summary of this con fereuce, the Russian Prince's language was sin gularly free and outspoken. He coolly intimated to the Duke of Moicresetto that the alliance be tween Frame and Sardinia was an offence to his imperial master, as encouraging the propagation of doetriues dangerous " to the political equilibrium '' and the stability of thrones ;" and that Russia, as the European representative of these menaced interests, was about to concert measures for their defence. The Prince added that this was the ob ject of the approaching interview at Warsaw. This bold and explicit language is well worth considering. Russia, we are authoritatively told, is about to resume her "minion in defence of " social order and monarchical interests." We are too familiar with these phrsaes not to know that in official language " social order" mea n s political death, and the " defence of monarchies/ labors*? the extinction by force of every movement in favour of national freedom. Russia mines for ward as the champion of them interests She will resist to the utmost every effort on behalf of political progress. It is her peculiar "mission." We have often heard th i s wont before ; indeed a few years ago it appeared in almost every Russian despatch and manifesto. Hut it has not been much used lately ; and without attaching too much im portance to an epithet, its employment just now in such a coiutexion may fairly be regarded as of some political significance. It marks the re-appearance of Russia as an aggressi►e and disturbing force in the field of European polities. The Crimean war led Russia to abandon very much the political poition she had formerly occupied. After signing the Treaty of Paris she retired in secret disap pointment and disgust from the council-board of the Great Powers, refusing for the time to take any active part in European affairs. The plea for this isolation was that she had been so misunderstood, and her policy and intentions so misrepresented by the other Powers. Of course those who had watched the policy of the offended Power were not deceived by this temporary retirement from active political life ; they justly attributed it rather to the want of power than of will to interfere with effect in European affairs. But they were willing to hope that the change might in the end lead to the adoption of a wiser policy. Meanwhile, whatever the cause, the effect of thus keeping to her own affairs was a great advantage both to Russia and to Europe. The young Ewremie was able to de vote himself to domestic business, and this in offensive course gradually softened the intense feeling of opposition which his father's foreign policy had excited. That policy—the po licy which Russia had steadily pursued before the t'rimean war—may be justly described as one of incessant and irritating intervention. It wee the natural development of that pernicious notion of • " IIONO011" which the late Extent(); having inherited, unhappily adopted as the guiding principle of his life. lu the fulfilment of this missionary character Russia was continually meddling with the atfairs of neighbouring states, ;ovum unasked advice in one direction, offering sinists:r assistance in another, Or making unjust de mands on a third. This policy of interference creatod enemies on every side. Russia came to be re garded as aim aggressive, unscrupulous power, bent on territorial avrandiseinent, and thus inimical to the peace of Europ e . This feeling of hostility .i.oaifielly spread and strengthened until public 01mi:0m throughout Western Europe was exaspe rated to the highest pitch. It was in fact the strong feeling excited by this aggressive policy which led to the Russian war. Public opinion in this country was so excited by the intervention of Russia in the atniggle between Austria and H enemy, that the nation was not only pre pared but resolved to take the earliest oppor tunity of effectually checking the career of so mis chievous and menacing a Power. The unreason able demands of Prince Menieliimirr on the Porte furnished the opportunity, and this country not only at onus pronounced in favour of armed resistance, but entered into close alliance with its hereditery foe to carry on the war. This:is the must deciove proof of the intense feeling of opposition which the meddling Russian policy had excited in this country. In 18'62 the jealousy of Frump and talk of invasion, which has recently nom peered, was rife here. Russia, misled by this jea lousy, thought she might carry out her policy of aga.•tessimn with impunity, there being no fear that the Western Powers would conibinv against her. Yet the moment the demands ou the Porte were made, ail feeling of jealousy towards France was • forgotten, and the alliance was .6oe The defeat, humiliation, arte e of by the Crimean war were re which the that meddling missionary foreign policy isto Ilktraleit pursued with such blind and fatal Obstinacy. Is the young EMPEROR about to enter on the tie diagerous path I It seems but too probable. TM agents and instruments of his father's policy we still at his aide, and they have evidently persuaded their pliant master to adopt the fatal " mission "of his race. Indeed they may claim the evil credit of having remained faithful to it even in adversity. They have indirectly conspired against the cause of political freedom while unable openly to attack it. When the Emperor of the FRENCH, in defiance of public opinion, treaty engagements, and national rights, seized on Savoy and Nice, Russia, when appealed to, sup ported him in his evil course, affirming that as • monarch he had a perfect right to do as he would in the matter. The violent and lawless acts of Lotus NAPOLEON were approved of because they savoured of despotism. But his most just and righteous acts are censured if they at all favour the cause of freedom. Now when the French EMPEROR pursues • policy which favours the development of the national cause in Italy—when he is apparently disposed to let the Italians work out their political salvation in their own way—Russia steps in and dares openly to rebuke the alliance with the King of SARDINIA. This is the grossest insult that ovoid possibly be offered to a great power like France. What right or business has Russia to interfere with the alliances which France or any other European Power may choose to make f Is the Crimean war already so totally forgotten, and its humiliations so utterly effaced, that Russia can with any decency assume the airs of on European dictator I Surely the prospect of • reconciliation with • bankrupt power like Austria cannot have tempted her to such a total forgetfulness both of her own position and that of other European Powers. Does Russia seriously mean to challenge France, and back Austria in invading Italy 1 If not, what is the meaning of Prince GORTIICRAILOIF'I4 insolent message 1 If she really desires to form • new Holy Alliance, she should have chosen • more appropriate moment. Where are the materials for such • combination? What is the state of Russia herself at this moment 1 Her exchequer is exhausted, the revenue of the country deeply mortgaged, the whole administrative machinery of the Government disorganised by corruption, the nobles offended by the mongrel domestic policy of the &demist, and the people profoundly discontented at the disappointment of their hopes. Austria, the other member of the proposed alliance, is in all respects in • far worse position. These are scarcely promising materials for a crusade against constitutional government and national progress in Europe. DRAMA. OLYMPIC. The little comedy entitled Secret Service am revived yesterday evening at this theatre. The chancier of Michael Perrin, the simple provincial cure, who, deprived of his benefice by • decree of the republican government of France, seeks employment from Fondle, Minister of Police, a quondam pupil of his, soil by mistake is turned into a spy without any conscientiousness of his aloe on has own part, was essayed by Mr. Addison. Those who remember ohmmeter which floulft immortalised on the Parisian suit lures recreated on the English stage could hardly have mongnieed the charming little ilium, which used alter nately to excite their laughter and their softer sym pathies. Although neat in its construction and ingenious in its idea, it depends so entirely for development on the manner in which the princi pal part is played, that mane that is entrusted to tie hand of a master, the incidents fail in point and ameney, and the whole thing falls eat. It is, in short, just one of those dramas which are as near nothing as possible, unless a great deals made of them in the working out. It iain hardly be said that this was the rase on the present occasion. It is • pity when performers of merit in their peculiar line are induced to undertake personstiona which are quite out of their way. The result can only be dissatisfaction to the audience and disappointment to themselves, and that through no fault of their own, hut from an error of judgmeot somewhere. There cam hardly he such pressure on the resources of this theatre as to render necesaary the production of • pieoo for the re presentation of which there is no adequate staff. It is simply a mistake. The Duke of Marlborough and Lord ♦. Churchill have left Blenheim Palace, sou Woodstock, for Wiltshire. The Lhiche.s and Lady A.

The Marquis de Moustier and the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, diplomatic representatives of France at Vienna and Berlin, who are now at Paris on leave of abeenoe, will not return to their posts until after the interview at Warsaw. PARIS, THURSDAY EVISING.: I I send textually the following " Latest News" from the Pays, it being impossible to check the in formation (much of which is very suspicious) which it contains Oar prlvnla Information confirms the news that the Pied montage, after a fierce struggle, have obtained possession of else of the advanced suburbs of Ancona. The force which defends Ancona, under General Lemori *fire, numbers 6,000. The . General himself entered the town with 1,500 men. The Pledmontese force is greatly superior. It is said that they have 30,000 men engaged in the siege. It is confirmed that the GarilaMiens suffered severe loser under the walls of Capon. This fortress is not invested, ea all aides. The bombardment has been decided upon, bet has not yet commenced. The royal troops are divided into four corps, Cantle, Gaeta, Owens, and Seam. Neu* is occupied by the Garibaldiana This position may poribly prevent the junction between the troops of Gaeta and those of Capua. It has been decided that a corps of Garibaldians shall embark at Tarracina to cut off the communiontions between Borne and Gaeta. At the moment when this news was sent to us the operation had not yet been effected, the ship being altogether without crews except, of coarse, those which are with Admiral Peraano before .Ancona. Its coutboted that llassiei and Ledru Rollin are at Naples. It is abo said, but with all rwserre, that %roue lisnard boa arrived there. It is thought in Naples that there Is as idea of trying to start a republic sad proclaim a triumvirate. Garibaldi miaow to said away from Naples all the new Gamin who oppose the unification of Italy tuider the sceptre at oiler Emmanuel. A detachment of fiaribaldians attempted to get possession of Bela, a small poet, 18 or 17 kilometres from Naples on the right bank of the gulf, but did not succeed. Night put au end to the combat. The next day the royal troops which were in garriKon at Baia left with all their baggage and ammunition. Baia contained a great quantity of gunpowder, and the object of the Garibaldiana was to get pomeesion of it. The recruiting of volunteers is going on most actively at Naples. It was at first doubted whether they would be very numerous, and only young men from the provinces came to enrol themselves ; but now the recruiting offices are crowded. Young men of family set the example, which is followed by the people ; even the peasants dock to enlist and ask for arms. [This testimony of the Pay.. to the popularity of Garibaldi is beyond suspicion.) The Pinimontese are advancing from Viterbo to a point nearer to Rome. The Petrie adds the detail that the advanced guard of Fanti's corps is at Bracciano, within a few miles of Rome, and that the Piealmontese troops are about to encamp under the very walls of the city. The impression is general in Paris that the. Pope will take flight within a few days, and in spite of the Boniface article it is positively stated in all official circles that the French army will with draw the very instant that the Pope leaves. I hear it said that his Holiness has determined to retire, not to Spain, but to a monastery at Palma in the Balearic Islands. U this good news were true, and if the French army,which would then be the only obstacle to the happy settlement of Italian affairs, would really go away, the main subject-matter of the quarrel between Garibaldi and Cavour would be out from under them. But, unfortunately, I can not believe that the Emperor ever for one moment dreamt of giving up the hold upon Italy, which be keeps for his own ambitious purposes, and not for any love of the church. I feel sure that those about the court who honestly believe, from what they are told, in the retreat of the French garrison, are deceived. The Bouiface article luid, you may depend upon it, the meaning which I suggested, namely, that the Graudguillot promise of with drawal was not to be kept. The Pope will, I think, leave Rome, because he knows that he can only stay there on condition of his submitting to be the slave and instrument of France. Great is the rage at his defection, which breaks down the patient scheme, and will make it necessary to throw off the mask ; but as to the evacuation of Rome by the French garrison—it is a tale to amuse children. I hear this very evening, from a source the ac• curacy of which I oanuot doubt, that French troops are about to be poured into Rome in immense num bers. No lees than 7,000 men—cavalry, infantry, and artillery—are going to Civita Vecchia at once by forced marches to reinforee General de Goyon's garrison• The Bourse opened with much firmness. The broad ground for confidence is the belief that the principle of non-intervention in Italy will be stead fastly adhered to, and the idea of Garibaldi being so rash as to attack the French army in Rome is considered absurd. The news above given, that 7,000 additional French troops are under orders for Rome, was not known or suspected at the Bourse. The Rente was, however, weaker in the afternoon ; after having been quoted at 6&r. 700., it dropped to Mr. 55c., and closed at GStr. 60c., both for cash and account, with a fall of 15e. and Mobilier fel, lfr. 25c. The Orleans Railway fell 2fr. 50c., and Northern and Western lfr. 2k. each ; Eastern rose Mr. 75e. ; Lyons, 2fr. 50c. ; and Southern was without change. It is difficult to geese the truth about the posi tion of General Bosco. A Verona journal (a sus picious authority) publishes a letter purporting to be written by him from Gaeta, declaring that he was by the side of his king, and would never be in the hands of the Pielmontese unless they should take his body lead and sword in hand on the battle-field. But all the letters from Naples speak of Bosco as having been there for some time, and some of them say circumstantially that he has just been banished from the city by Garibaldi. One of thaw letters mays that he is on his way to Paris. I incline to think that the letter in the Verona paper must lie a forgery. M. de Fancies, sometime Minister of Public In struction under Louis Napoleon, has just published a violent manifesto on the Rowse question, which is described by the Patrie as the work of " royalist who insults royalty, of a catholic who calumniates the episcopacy, and of an academician who compiles history from cuttings of false news from the Belgian newspapers." )11 I S r R SEPT] TE t i .:, mgeo t FROM h APPROACH 0 THE ROY ALIAS (nor ova owe ocousem the fatal ARMY TO ROME.

The report that the Emperor of the French had been invited to join the interview at Warsaw must, for the present, be considered very improbable. VIENNA, fkrr. 27.

ENGLAND AND SARDINIA. The Cologne Gaulle publishes the text of a note, addressed under date of 31st August, by Lord John Russell to Sir James Hu(Lson, the British Minister at Turin. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs ex the fear that the attacks ag a i ns t th e R oman State: and t:and the kingdom of Naples may lead to an attack upon the possessions of Austria iu Venetia. If (says the despatch) the King of Piedmont was at liberty not to accept the preliminaries of Villa franca and the treaty of Zurich, now that he has pledged his royal word he is no longer at liberty to attack a nation with which he has promised to live in passe and friendship. Should such a fact occur, Italy would again be exposed to all the chances of uncertainty. SYRIA. (nom out OW" BEYROUT, SEPT. 14. In my last I gave you an account of the execu tion at Damascus, by order of Fuad Paella and by sentence of a court-martial, of the former governor general of that town, Achmet Pacha, as well as of three other military offenders of high rank. It now tunas out that the execution was perfectly private in the court-yard of the barracks, and the natural consequences of so ill-advised a measure are that it is broadly asserted Achmet Pacha was never shot at all, but that some wretched creature already condemned to death was made to take his place, whilst he may be now on his way overland to Constantinople, to Mesas, or in the very steamer which will take this letter to Europe. Of course these reports are so utterly improbable that they are not worth listening to, but still you know what power in all countries " they say" has, and how many people who dis believe all other authority in the world will put all their faith and trust in " what everybody says." Wit Achmet Pacha was really shot in the barrack square at Damascus on Saturday, the Bth instant, I have no doubt iu the world, but Fund Pasha did a very unwise thing in not requesting some person from each • European consulate to be present, iu order to have the actual execution verified. As it is, the Moslems taunt the Christians by saying that after all has been said and done, the European powers have beeu fooled, and that Achmet Pacha still lives ; a great number of the native Christians repeat the assertion, because it tells against the Turkisk government, and many of the French or Russian partisans believe it, because they will be lieve evil rather than good respecting all that the Porte may say, or do, or think, or wish, or plan. I know, however, that the body wax seen by his former servant (an European now in the ser vice of the Russian consul at Damascus) imme diately after the execution, and a Christian government employi who was present at the cere mony told nie he had no doubt but that it was Achmet Pacha himself who was shot. However, so far as example goes, or ass means of showing that the government are in earnest in the matter of punishing all offenders in Syria, they might just as well have thrown Achmet into the Btaphorus without any trial at all, instead of mending him all the way from Constantinople here, and then to Damascus, where he was to be executed at the some of his misdeeds. There is indeed too much reason to believe that neither Achmet Pacha of Damascus nor goorchid Packs of Beyrout acted throughout the late events without orders, and that these orders came from parsons of high rank at Constantiuople. All these iniquities will, how ever, be one day revealed. The mortality amongst the Christian refugees in Beynad, and those living in the open air more particularly, is very great indeed, and is daily in creasing. The French authorities here are annoyed at the inaction of their troops, but throw the blame on the Turks, and on the powers who support Turkey. The last received number of au Arabic newspaper, published in Paris, has some very curious views re specting the future government of Syria, which are supposed t, he "inspired by imperialism," but I must put off my notice of them until my next letter. THE NEW PAPAL MANIFESTO. On the subject of the meat entrance of the Piedmoniesie into the states of the Holy See, the Cardinal Secretary of State his addressed the fol lowing note to all the members of the diplomatic hotly residing in Rome. It is dated from the Vistsren, 18th inst : "The irodersigned matly regrets the necesaity of commu isicatheg to the representatives of the foreign powers to the Holy Mee, a statement .1 facts noes awl more deplonible hut the force of circumstances is so grave, and the impe taisety II the violence used toward. the o a st pacific of Noverefina the august bend of the church, is so astound ing, that he cannot refrain from addraming to thou the mement anninunication, being impelled thereto not only by hie duty as a minister. but Elio by the express commands of his Holiness. . . . . . .

" In this state of things the undersigned cardinal com plains and protests against acts no destructive of all laws human and divine, and as as ailing the independence of the supreme head of the church and the integrity of the tem poral domain, with which he has been invested by the di*. pensations of Providence ' for the good of religion and of the church, and which he has lawfully possessed for so many centuries past.

What also gives no leas oonMence to the Holy Father is the thought that attention will be paid to the cries of so many millions of catholic scattered through all kingdoms, who earnestly implore that a term may be put to the anguish and calamities in which the common father of all has been plunged.

REVIEW OF THE RORTHAJIPTONSHIRE VOLUNTEERS AND RIFLE HATCH. Whether the public ever gain admission to the lordly domain of Althorp the inhabitants of the immediate neigh bourhood profess to be ignorant. They have heard something of a picture gallery, rich in the works of the old mestere, and of a splendid library, but you do not meet with many persons who have seen them. Be that as it may, there ie one portiou of Earl Spencer's Northamp toushire estate which he has begun to make good use of. The difficulty of supplying our rifle corps with suitable sites for practice and review in experienced in all localities ; and a few weeksago the Earl of Derby set the example of making the extensive grounds of Knowsley available for that purpose. Earl Spencer has done the name with his park at Althorp ; and yesterday, under the auspices of the 'Northamptoushire Rifle Aseociatiou, the first review of the Northampton volunteers--cavalry and infantry—and the first grand contest of the Northamptonshire riflemen for prizes took place in Althorp Park. In some respects there an scaroely be a more suitable locality for such a purpose. There are long avenues avail. able for shooting at ranges from 300 to 700 or 800 feet ; and there are plateaus surrounded by green slopes, forming natural amphitheatres, upon which thousands of soldiers may be paraded and put through the "manual" in the sight of twenty times their number of spectators. And then the hill sod dale, the clumps of noble forest trees, and the in. numerable thicket, and streams, supply mat that kind of ground which the commander of a light division would ee• feet for showing off the special excellence of his men and the general efficiency of his corps for their work. Yet the scenery is so soft and sylvan that anything connected with war seems altogether foreign to it, and armed soldiers and militaiy evolutions appear almost as much out of place iu its leafy groves as fairies, and nymphs, and sylvan rtwould be in a camp or barrack room. e., no fault of Earl Spencer that the number of specto tors was far less than was expected or than could have witnessed the sight from beginning to the end without crowding or inconvenience. Jupiter Menu, who has marked the year 11400 es his own, held high court yesterday in Northampton and its neighbourhood. From early morn• ing till far on in the afternoon it rained incemantly. Hundreds of persons in the surrounding towns and villages, who had made up their minds to be present, were indisposed to gratify their curiosity, or display their patriotism, at the expeune of a certain wet ting. Omnibus proprietors endear drivers, who had calcu lated upon a rich harvest, were, like the fanners, doomed to see their hopes washed away in the flood ; and some who bad actually put their horses to, and secured a few cus tomers, finding that the freight was not likely to be a pay ing one, remitted Dobbin to the stable, and retired to the alehouse to drink success to those whom they thus con signed to a five or six mile walk ankle deep in mud. Such as did reach the ground, the equestrians excepted, bad not much to congratulate themselves up et. If the node were wet and dirty, the Park was tea times worse. Every step sank a foot deep in a com pound of loam and water of about the consistence of thin mortar, and the "squash, actuash" which anuouuced it beat time most discordantly with the music of the various nBiW and volunteer bands that were stationed about the grounds. The shooting commence] at 9 o'clock, and was well con tested. The prizes, which were confined to the volunteers of the county of Southampton, were :--The challenge cup, value 2M. A prize of 7f. for the greater number of puints, sowed at 300 yards ; a second prize of N. I A Prize of 7/. for the greatest number of points, scored at 498 yards; a second prize of 5/. A prise of N. fur the greatest number of hits, at ;elll and 400 cords. A prize of 5/. for the greatest windier id hits, at le, 400, 500, Mad ' 800 yard.. The competition for these prizes was limited to five members from each corps. There were also prizes open to all oomers resident in Northampton, viz.:— 4. cup, value 101. A prise of N. for the greatest number of points, scored at SOO yenta a 'email prize of 3/. A prise of !N. for the greatest number of pinta scored at 400 yard.. ; a second prise of N. A prize of N. fur the greatest number of bite, at 300 and 400 The winner of the County Challenge Cup was Mr. S. Peseland, who also carried off the 7/. prise and a biome ineslaL The other winner, in this contest were Mr. J. Groom and Oapt. Barr. The winners iu the All Corners' Match were Mr. Edward, who took the cup and aN. prize, and Messrs. J. Biggs and Manning. The number of ponds amide at the long ilistanoes were not so great as at Witnblislon ; but that was sceirely to be expectinl, seeing that the cone petite: sat Althorp were the selected of only one comity, while the Wimbledon prizes were contested by the Nile of net only the whale of this country, but of the continent likewise. At a little after four, the ties baying been shot off, the peened companies were reviewed by the Marquis of Exeter as lord lieutenant of the county, Earl :Spencer, Lord Pom fret, and Lola Seymour. The ground was ndmir ably selected in a beautiful amphitheatre specious enough for mateetivring 10,0(10 men, and was kept by a tnetp of the 4th Draptou tlitards, specially brought from Wee ton for the purpose. The proceedings commenced by the volunteers marching past in contpenies, of which there were etx, numbering together about 400 men, headed by a troop of boot overstone's mounted volunteers, tinder the command of Colonel Lindsay. Beyond marching peat and keeping the ground, the cavalry took no further part in the business of the day, the active evolutions being entirety ronfineil to the infantry. There were the usu 4 movements in line, in column, in skirmishing order, and in square, anil the manneriu whi. h they were executed, the firing especially, earned for the men engaged the approving cheers of the spectator, as well as the deserved ea.-vellums of their officers. This portion of the day's proceedings was the chore agreeable ivasmuch as it was earned on in OM punitively tine weather, the sun having towards the close of the day subdued the rain. There were to have hek 11 a cricket match, foot races, hurdle races, and athletle Eames, but the rain effectually blotted out this portion of the pro. gramme. There was, however, some archery, but without any noticeable result. Most of the local gentry were pie. sent, and towards evening the number of spectator. h4l inereseed to several thousands. LATINO THE POUNDATION STONE Of THE PORTSMOUTH DOCK; - At half-past 1 o'clock yesterday the interesting ceremony took place of laying the fonsdation-stone of a commercial dock at Portsmouth, adjoining the Royal Artil lery Barrack, the entrance being from Portsmouth Harbour, and the outlet abutting on the Custom-house. The wea. ther, though threatening, was on the whole propitious, and • fair and weli-dressed assembly graced the proceedings. The Mayor (gr. W. H. Carrington) and the aldermen and common councillors of the borough were early at their posts. The naval commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Henry Wm. Bruce, attended by his flag captain and lieutenant, won also present, together with Colonel-Commandant Anderson, of the Royal Marines, from Porton. The band of the god battalion of the 11th Regiment were in attendance, and performed sevendjavourite ass. A little before 2 o'clock Mr. C. W. E. Pineo (the civil engineer to the corporation) pronounced all to be in Towli nes", coins and papers having been placed by that gee. tleman in a tin box to be deposited beneath the foundation. stone, which weighed some five tone, and was suspeuded by a double chain tackle fall from a traverse wooden tramway overhead. The order was given to place the stone in position, and, as the machinery was exceedingly well arranged by the contractor's agent, Mr. Pickthall, the geneses deposited in its r ating place in abed of mortar without delay or di ffi culty. This on of the ceremony completed, the band struck u p " Bare the Queen," the company standing and cheering. His worship then delivered • short address to those aseem. bled apropos of the occasioe, in the course of which he alln. ded to the fact that within a few weeks a ship of 1,000 tone burden had put into Portsmouth to be docked and repaired, but for want of the seminary accommodation was obliged to proceed to Southampton. He also add that although some persons thought the undertaking would prove • losing con cern, he had the utmost confidence in its success, and be. 'Seed that Portsmouth would be considerably benefitted by this great commercial enterprise. THE SEGISTRATION.S. AUDDLMEX. Yesterday Mr. Lancelei SI;rdwoll, the barrister appointed to revise the electoral lista for the county of !Walnut, held his sixth court at the New Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road, for the revision of the lista for the parishes and places comprised within the Mile-end polling district.

Bow ; St. Mary, Whiteeba ; New-town ; Old - town ; St. Paul, well ; Radcliff ; Old Tower without ; and Holy Trinity, Minorite. The question of costa came frequently before the court iu the course of the day. In all cases where the objection led to an amendment of the description of qualification the barrister refused costa. In one cue, that at a Mr. Foster, who had come all the way from Cardrd in Wales, to sub. stantiate his vote, then wall an urgent appeal foe the railway expenses ; but the barrister said he had no power to give costs in the oue of new claims. One case caused some little amusement. William Wade had been objected to by the conservatives. He established his vote, and the barrister awarded him 10s. The voter then said be had always voted for the conservative candidates on a pinch, which caused much laughter. Jabez Tapper, a soli. cites, objected to by the conservatives, was awarded lts. as ezpe rZie parish of St. Mary, Stratford, Bow, objections were taken by the conservatives to a dozen 40s. rent charges. In half the number those objected to attended, and proved their qualifications, and their names were retained. The other half did nut attend, and their names were expunged.

We transfer to our columns the following noticts —••- • WrSTERN SCUTLA2II).—The cold of last week was a favourable circumstance for shorn crepe, as it prevented i sprouting, but it retarded the ripening of the later grain. With the exception of well-manured land in early aim*. tione, the spring-sown wheat has improved very little in appearance during the last two weeks, and we cannot Lope for much improvement to wheat after the end of September. The frosty mornings of Monday and Tueeday, with the sunshine which has fol- lowed, nay change the colour of the straw without doing much good to the quality of the grain. Wednesday was * better day. The morning was mild, and the air der. ing the day was clear and bracing. This morning there was a slight frost, and the forenoon is sunny and pleasant. A good deal of grain has been carried to the stack .attls this week in the lower districts of Ayrshire. lu the country which stretches upwards from the wheat-growing districts, the reaping of oats has been commenced, but the vary slow maturation of the crop makes the works go on in a leisurely manner. la the upleuda the moat of the corn is green, end the prospects of the harvest not eucouregine. A late oat crop may still improve considerably iu a high situation, if tho weather be favourable, but when the mouth of October has come round, we doubt the propriety of waiting lung for their ripening. Beans were slightly in jured on some farms by the frost on Tuesday teeming. The crop is generally very heavy, but it is still green, and as the season goes past there is greater risk of damage. The demand for potatoes for the English market is still to the increase. The prim this week may be stated at from 3/. fis. to 3/. 10.. per too, when carted to a railway station. Hay has also au upward tendency ; Ms. per IMO stones has lately been offered fur thrashed hay in the neighbourhood of Ayr. —Ayr Atirertiser. NORTH NOTTINI:14111.111RIL —Notwithstanding the antic what fickle end at times untoward state of the weather, harvest operations have progressed pretty favourably in this locality, and the greater part of the crop has been safely housed,most of it in very good condition.

The wheats are generally tine and very good. Most of the wind barleys too are very gaud, but some of the heavier crops are somewhat stained by the rails.
