Save me from my friends! was the eiclamatlon of a man in hi.s direst necessities,----sav e tr. e from my friends! for they will destroy me by the excess of their candour! Oh save me from them, and I will dare my enemies to the very goal. There is no deceit in their doings— they mean mischief, and they boldly avow , it;? So do I, but in a mwaner that lam not and' shall not be ashamed of ! What does the subtle master of hypocrisy say to his friends now ? Are they in Paris ? or in Rome ? or in Turin or Milp.a ? No, no, they are to be found in Venice, which is now one of the confederated Republics or :nationa lities, or, more properly, the nothings of the Italian freebooters under the conj-Jint protection of the greatest deceiver of one empire and th e greatest f oo l of another ! What a glorir, us c h ance—. no, not a chance, but a sure ctrtaiaty—h as the mock friend throw n away for the - vanquished Kaiser to elutch with sobbing Jo y at his present deliverance. He cannot believe it ; it is too good to be true ! In fact, nobody believes it. The Italians won't believe it ! The Gerw.ans are dreamin g It 1..., while the French shrug their doubting shoulders and look: askance at each other—each fearing to ar.ik his neighbour, ‘. Do you believe it ?"' - -Pshaw!—the Grand Army don't and won't beli:eve it. Not they ! They now feel that they have worshipped an idol of Clay —very brazen 'clay indeed, but whose thread of destiny is being spun so fine that he cannot even perceive it. No ; fate wisely tempers her medicine ; she beguiles the victim to his doom, and then kicks him into eternity as worthless for further mischief, Or " To poi It a moral and adorn a tale !" The news from the Continent is, as the sailors say, " all at sea !" Everything seems to be going topsy-turvy; and why? just because a mortal —aye, a low ambition's mortal—has had too much of his own way and got frenzied or drunk at his own success, and at the blind devotion of his dupes. Yes ! The Man of yesterday is but the despised of to-day. What has NAPOLEON the THIR D done ? He started on the grand profession of freedom—true Republican freedom —equality to - all men, and so forth, as if anything on this earth can be equal ; and he ends by the direst, the most insulting despotism that a devil cr,uld practice, or the mind r,f evil conceive, At first he paid most sedulo us most most snbrnissive devotion to the Army of t h e Republic, and gradually so won or stole on their credulity that when he thought t l 4 , time wa 'ripe--he let them loose on the freedom 'of that country which he swore to defend, " aind assumed the purple of intolerar,,t Peace !" f or there can be no peace where m , .nd is s u ppre sse d. And what has this wonder f ..ul child of fortune achieved? —verily, his o ,wn downfall, for no mortal was ever so lue i gy as he, nor one so tutored in the stepittrne paths of adversity. , And yet, what is the use of experience or adversity to perverse minds ? Even as nothing. It only serves to make them think that there is a sp ec i a l di v i n ity reserved for them, and them alone. Now, mark tine coming end of all this insult to humanity : the a' Y' dear army !—the toy of tyrants who play with it in the fond belief that children play with cats thinking they are all their own, but they will awake some morning all of a sudden, and find those playful cats turned into desperate and frightful tigers. So will it be —nay, is even now with the Conqueror of Italian Independence ! His much-idolized, and now most justly disgusted, army will turn on him, and where is the safety ? At the Tuileries ? Not there, we fancy—nor at the Champ de Mars. The non-restoration of Italian freedom has at :length restored the freedom of France. The Duke of NEWCASTLE'S reply last evening to the inquiries addressed to his Grace, in reference to the Hudson's Bay Company, by the Earl of CAR. NA 'ox, must be accepted at once as in a very great measure highly satisfactory. The Company's licence, it may be remembered, expired as recently as May last, after having been originally granted some forty-two years ago. Granted in 1817, for a peri(td of twentpone years—it was renewed upon its first expiry in 1838 for another period of one and twenty Kars. —the entire period of two and forty years expiring, as we have said, as recently as the May of this „lA:resent year, 1859. The new Colonial Secretary his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE, in reply to the inquiries of the Earl of CARNARvON, now ataoucces the I,:zatif.i I , g fact that the Licence is not to be renevrectu tin.* any eiretua,Pwes• .• • - : . , • ;1 1 -- . • ' l t• A , r • 0 • m "EOIT I .0.1;67,M- THE SUN. FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1859. In May it was known the licence would cease and determine—and when May arrived it did so cease and determine. The monopoly so far is past and *ten the gone. There is an end of t Coalition Whig-Peelite Ministry is constrained 'at last to forego the advocacy any longer of the selfish interests of the Hudson's Bay mono polists. There is still the territory over which the Hudson's Bay Company possesses, or rather claims to possess, proprietary or qua s i-p ropr i etary rights —the district, in fact, held under the Charter of the Merry Monarch. In reference to that charter negotiations are still pending between the trading Company and the Imperial Government. We can only hope that that monstrous charter will fol low the way already taken by the almost equally monstrous; licence. But at any rate the licence has expired, and, further than that, will not be renewed, even under a Whig Administre.tion ! We will take that as a happy augury. Bit by bit our hopes are being realised. North America, bit by bit, is reverting to the Crown. New fields of enterprise are opening up to our colonists. Along the seaboard of British North America, both upon the east and upon the west, upon the Pacific and upon the Atlantic there are gigantic Colonial possessions ruled by authorities delegated from the Sovereign of these realms—here in Canada, here in British Columbia : an empire carved out here by the sword of General JAMES WOLFE, here by th e pen of Sir BULWER LYTTON. Between thaw two extreme divisions of our territory in North Ame rica there extend Over many geographical degrees the wide and fruitful regions hitherto abandoned to the fur-trappers of the Hudson's Bay Company. One solitary settlement alone has been created hitherto by the Company at the centre of those vast tracks of land—that known as the Red River Settle ment. Thither, from the east and from the west, the civilising influences must now in due course advance—whether the advance be slow or rapid depends entirely upon the councils of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government. As to our hopes in this respect under the Whig Coalition—much may have been conjectured; a little may be hoped, more may tr.: feared, in the way of tleold official apathy, from an acknowledgment mad? last evening towards the dose of the remarks utt.ftd with a certain amount of frankness, by the new 'Colonial Minister, the Duke of NEWCASTLE. His Grace observed : "In the course of the noble earl's spee c h he asked a question as to the encour ageoent that was to be given to the extension of colonisation in the more southerly parts of the Hudson's Bay licensed territory, and also of the Hudson's Bay territory of this side Of the Rocky Mountains. He did net think that it was for the Colonial officeofth;::i country to take any decisive step in favour of colonisation. All they could do was to take care that no impediments should be thrown in the way of those who wished to promote schemes of colonisation. HP agreed with the noble earl that a matter of great importance was the establish ment of communication between the boundaries of , Canada on the one side and the boundaries of Van couver's Island on the other. He was aware that a scheme had been brought forward for construct ing a railroad across the continent. He must say that he did not look upon such a scheme as being at all a. - visionary one, but he did not think that as yet any plan had been produced of such a character as ought to be taken up. Ho was aware of a minor scheme to carry posts across the continent by means of the lakes, and along the line indi cated by the noble earl ; and he would be most anxious to give every encouragement to any scheme that was likely to effect such an object. He did not contemplate at present any exten sion of the postal subsidies, however, and collie, not b at_ iciac CR) 1 ment to take up any scheme yet proposed fr ex _ tending the communication across the North Ame rican continent. At the same time he thriught this was a matter of great national importance, and therefore it would be his duty to g'Ave to it every attention in his power." The meaning of all which is, apparently, that the laissez all ier system is again intended to be carri e d ou t by ie not r a th er say i n re tarding Whig administra tors in regulating (might v tarding ?) the developme'at of our British North American possessions. The duty devolves upon Parliament, in that, case, of applying an increased motive power to the sluggish machinery of the Coalition Govern? rent. Lord JOHN AUSSELL need not be "without in formation" an 7 r longer about the horrors of Peru gia. As usu Al, the knowledge of the public is probably ver much in advance of the " official in formation ;" but we have now from a witness—a sufferer— -and he, being an American, one who is seekin g compensation—which leaves no ro om what ever for doubt. The details, indeed, are such as co- ald hardly have been invented by a DE FOE, and writer even moderates some of the first ac counts of the destruction of life. Let us see, then, what it is which the Head of I half the Churches of Christendom rewards with praise, and by conferring a General's rank on the leader of the Papal banditti, if indeed banditti be not a name they would disgrace. Amongst the statements, which are only given as " universally believed," we are told that the troops, bad as they are, were not told of their destination till far on their way—that they then mutinied—that the " sack of Perugia" was the bribe to invite them to proceed—that the French Government had offered a band of real soldiers who would restore what is called " order," but not disgrace humanity—and that this was refused. But an order was issued "to make an example of Perugia for the sake of other cities," and to " decapitate the rebels." The writer saw the order, and does not believe it was forged. If it were, the troops acted as if it were not. The American gentleman who writes had no idea that the lives or property of neutrals could be in danger; he, therefore, kept in his hotel, one chiefly fre quented by Americans and Englishmen, and one whose landlord—who seems to have been a man of the most unpolitical and quiet temperament —was amongst the first of the murdered, and that in his own house. The American was with him till within a few minutes of his murder, and the poor man's last act was to ascend the roof of his house and warn off some boys who were likely to pelt " the Tedeschi." There was not a shadow of a pre text for attacking his quiet hotel ; it was done for pillage, for pillage and murder, and for this. only. On descending the landlord closed the shut, ters to prevent accidents, and he and his guests, seeing what was going on, sought refuge in a closet concealed f the by the door being a part o paper-hangiig of the room. The Americans -cs ere saved by it t,'-om the first bloody fury of the ruffians, so w er e the poor landlord's wife and mother, but he wa,s butchered on his way to it— they shot him on the landing and then despatched him with their bayonets. Two servants below were next murdered ; the American's servant saved himself by springing at the soldier who was about to bayonet him, exclaiming to him in French that be was a Frenchman, at the same time hugging him so closely as to pinion him. ..,T l key then forced t he servan t to discover the retreaY ofit'lle American and the wciaen. They were dragged out into the middle of the room, and THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1859, this band of desperadoes, bearing the name of the Pop2s so/diem, an Unaet the command of an offi cer, hot male a general, aeth a lly Bii th e point of murdering *omen and children beseeching than on their knees for mercy, and an unarmed foreigner ! Nothing saved them but the American flourishing his passport in their eyes as a flag of truce, and liberally proffering his gold to save the poor women and children. One of the band of murderers was made to understand by the servant that our writer really was an American, and the fiends had a spice of selfish prudence remaining amidst their brutal fury. Four times, nevertheless, they had to flee, from fresh irruptions of these savages, into the friendly closet;. indeed, after all, their escape was almost miraculous ; and it was only after fourteen hours' suspense, in momentary fear of merciless and wanton butchery, that they could venture away from their almost suffocating hiding place. We remember nothing like it since the savagery at Hango. He says the number of victims is not over 30— not so many as; had been reported, but numerous enough for the honour of the Papal Administration and soldiery, all being innocent citizens, seven of them women and three children ! " Surely" ex claims the American " the Pope's Government should be paternal, but when the father, instead of correcting his erring children with the rod, turns upon them with the sword, the punishment is so out of all proportion to the crime, that it seems high time to deprive him of the authority which he abuses► This affair at Perugia," he adds, " may be the last straw which breaks the camel's back of a nation's long suffering, and may pave the way to better days. Were I a Roman Catholic I should desire to see the supreme head of the Roman Church confined to his spiritual functions." So, indeed, say we. Nothing but a false pride can make Roman Catholics wish to retain the POPE as secular ruler of any body of miserable slaves, for such the subjects of unmarried ecclesias tics, 'or indeed of any ecclesiastics must ever be. Mr. SPOONER would probably object, and be joined by Mr. NEWDEGATE, for we hardly know a move Catholics could make for the respectability of their Church equal to that of rendering the POPE a purely Spiritual Sovereign. MEETING OF THE ROYAL AGRICUL TURAL SOCI4I7T, - WARWICK, JULY 14. The show-yard for horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs was opened to the public precisely at one o'clock on Wednesday. The extensive sho and the immense influx of company rendered it peculiarly attractive, certainly the largest and most exciting the society has yet known. The officials had some difficulty in making everything accord, and much as they ex exerted themselves to give the best effect, and to promote the comfort and convenience of the public, such was the increasing concourse that they were compelled to leave everything to the good sense of the people, and all passed off with harmony and satisfaction. The cattle classes are very numerous, and would well suffice for an afternoon's inspection. We can not, therefore, do ample justice to them, to say nothing of the other departments of the show. There are the same names of exhibitors pertaining to the classes as usual, with here and there a new sprinkling. The first prize was obtained by Mr. John H. Bradburne, of Fife-place, near Lichfield, a name new to us as an exhibitor, in the first class of short-horn bulls. The second prize bull, belongs to Colonel Pennant, M.P., of Penrhyn Castle. In the second class of short-horns we fully concurred with the first adjudication. There was no truly near approach to Colonel Townley's young bull. Mr. Ambler obtained the second prize for a capital young bull ; Mr. Lynn the third prize ; and there was only one commendation, received by Mr. John Hall, for a very useful young bull. In this class were a number of highly meritorious animals worthy of notice. In the third class of short-horns, No. 70, Mr. Fletcher's yearling, received the first _ _ CLASS 4. —Cows IN MILK. Mr. Richard Stratton takes first, Mr Richard p,„ t „,„a and 'Jr. W. Tod, of El phinstone Tower, takes third prize in this class. CLASS 5.-HEIFERS IN CALF OR IN MILK. In this class Colonel Townley again takes first prize, Mr. Fowler, of Henlow, second, and Colonel Townley the third. CLASS 6.-YEARLING HEIFERS. The first prize in this class is taken by No. 139, Mr. J. Grundy's. The classes of short-horns are equal to those of former years taken collectively, but we have no very prominent animals in them. THE FIRST CLASS OF HEREFORD BULLS CALVED ON OR BEFORE JULY, 1857. This class contains some beautiful animals. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort receives a com mendation, and in the third or bull calf class he takes the first prize. The classes of Hereford cows and heifers are both larger and better than of many former years. TIIE PIG CLASSES. According to theSoCiety• ; ;rul; these are deno minated the large and small breed classes. We can never define the distinction, for large and splendid specimens of the porcine race meet us down every alley. These classes are well filled, and would oc cupy a long time in careful inspection. The special prizes were well contended for. The Berkshire breed classes were well filled. This bids fair to be a most successful meeting. The attendance was beyond expectation yesterday being 8,530. To-day the rush of visitors has been very great. AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The following memorial was presented this day to the Premier : To the Right lion. Lord Viscount Palmerston, K.G., First Lord of the Treasury, &c. The memorial of the undersigned bankers, merchants, and others of Showeth, that your memorialists, being deeply interested in the Australian colonies, view with alarm and regret the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place in Parliament to the question put to him in reference to the tenders for the proposed postal route to Australia via Panama. That your memorialists have been looking forward with much satisfaction to the establishment of this line of com munication, inasmuch as, if other reasons were wanting, the irregularities of the present mail service, even under the contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, clearly prove that a second and independent line is absolutely- ne cessary to satisfy the requirements of the commercial com munities of both the colonies and the mother country. But it is not solely upon this ground that the organisation of the second service has been viewed with favour. Your memorialists cannot overlook the fact that by its establish ment the postal communication would be less liable to inter ruption from European complications ; the risks and chances of a single service would be avoided ; a direct intercourse would be established between Australia, the mother country, and both sides of the vast continent of America, the im portance of which cannot be too highly estimated. That, while every allowance is made for the difficulties necessarily attending the commencement of a new service, the inconveniences resulting from its irregularity are not the less severely felt. That the expediency of establishing the second service having been recognised by the late Government, and a promise to co-operate in the scheme if certain conditions were compliedwith having been made, any delay in carrying out that arrangement would be trifling with the colonists, and occasion grievous disappointment to all connected with them. That the proposed reference of the question to a select committee of the House of Commons must necessarily create delay, and may result in the withdrawal of the tenders n o w before the Government, some of which your memorialists are informed are eligible, and afford an opportunity of car rying out the service on advantageous terms. That your memorialists respectfully submit that, if the statement made in the public journals with respect to the .amount of the tenders be correct, a sum of about £30,000 with the postage, suffice to cover the claims upon the 'imperial Treasury for the service. That this amount is insignificant when compared with the immense advantages which the outlay will confer upon the important countries embraced by the route, which include not only her Majesty's possessions in North America, the Nest India I s l an d s, an d the new l y -di scovere d go ld co l ony in Columbia, but also the United and other independent States of America. That for these reasons your memorialists earnestly hope that her Majesty's Government will take this petition into favourable consideration, and at once deal with the tenders now before them.

LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office s PARTS, JULY 15. The Moniteur of to-day contains the follow- ing : DEstNzANao, 3nly 14,—The Augsburger Adige nzeine Zeitung alleges that the cause of the armistice is the existence of a dangerous malady in the French army; but to this we can give a formal denial. The sanitary condition of the French army is ex cellent, and exceeds even the hopes which could have been entertained from the fatigue and heat which it had to endure. TURIN, JULY 14. The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the Ministers of the King have tendered their resigna tions, holding their portefcuilles only till the for mation of the new Cabinet. Yesterday evening the following proclamation was posted up at Milan : "THE KING TO THE PEOPLE OF LONI3ARDY. " Heaven has blessed our arms. "With the powerful aid of our magnanimous and valiant ally the Emperor Napoleon we arrived in a few days, after victory upon victory, at the banks of the Dlincio. To-day I come back among you to tell you the happy news that Heaven has granted your wishes. An armistice, followed by the preliminaries of peace, assures to the people of Lombardy their independence. According to your desire, so many times expressed, you will henceforth form, with our ancient States, one single and free family. I will take your destiny under my direction, and hope to find in you that concur rence which the chief of a State needs in order to create a new administration. " I tell you, people of Lombardy, trust to your King. Established on solid and imperishable bases, he will procure happiness for the new countries which Heaven has intrusted to his Government." VIENNA, JULY 14. " His Majesty the Emperor has been most gra ciously pleased to order the immediate cessation of the recruiting of soldiers just commenced." THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION. BERLIN, JULY 14. The Prussian Gazette says :—" The proposal made on the 4th inst, by the Prussian Federal Am bassador to the Federal Diet is, under present cir cumstances, withdrawn by the Government. The necessary orders have already been despatched to Frankfort." BERLIN, JULY 14. Austrian securities rose yesterday 8 per cent. BERNE, JULY 14. The Federal Council has disbanded all troops called in on the outbreak of war, and has also or dered all the Austrian steamers together with can non and other arms, taken from Austrian and Sar dinian refugees during the war, to be given up. The Federal Council has further abandoned the measures taken against the exportation of arms, ammunition, and horses. THE MOCK PEACE. EXCITEMENT IN PARIS. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says : " Despatches have reached Paris stating that the whole of Italy is greatly agitated. The Pope has sent for assistance, in the shape of troops, to the Emperor Napoleon and Francis Joseph. "The proclamation was received, I have no hesitation in saying, with displeasure, and in some instances it was torn down. The conditions on which the war has been closed have pro duced a painful dissatisfaction in all classes who feel for the national honour of France, and who are real friends of the Emperor Napoleon. I believe the day will come when it shall be proved that the Emperor has been deceived as to the state of feeling in Europe. lam sure his Majesty was influenced to make peace by reports about revolu tions and the invasion of France by Germany, all got up by Jesuits and their tools to frighten him into shaking hands with Francis Joseph. Never was intrigue more active—intrigue at St. Cloud, at St. James's, at Vienna, at Berlin. The whole machi nery of Court influence was set to work to prevent the allies from taking the fortresses which are the key to Austrian influence in Italy, and the support consequently of the rotten Governments of the Popo and Sovereigns of Italy. By some fatal and mys terious influence Napoleon 111. has fallen into the trap of his greatest enemies, although they may wear the livery of friends. Who shall dare to say what may follow ? Italy will be in a state of revolution. Mazzini will commission his agents again. The future is gloomy. There is no repose for Europe. The Emperors have not made peace—they have simply endangered their own lives and their thrones. " I hear to-day Count Cavour has given in his re signation, and I should not be at all surprised if Vic tor Emmanuel were to abdicate. After fighting half a dozen battles for the freedom of Italy from Aus trian tyranny, to find Sardinia placed under Francis Joseph and the; Pope is a sad mockery ! The for tresses being in the hands of Austria causes the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont to end in a cruel mockery. The more the world knows about the treaty of peace the less will honest men like it. A treaty which politically murders 30,000,000 of people belongs rather to 1815 than 1859. " Discontent in Paris at the Emperor's proclama tion and fears of revolt in Italy have caused the funds to fall again to-day, as well as all other secu rities. The Threes are now at 68f, 30c, being a fall of lf. on yesterday's prices. " The King of Sardinia bas arrived in Milan. His Majesty will, it is expected, renounce his title to Lombardy, and in all probability abdicate." The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), sr.ys : " The Emperor's Proclamation to the Army of Italy, which appears in to-day's Moniteter, has not much diminished the dissatisfaction of those who counted upon a complete fulfilment of the Im perial programme—the emancipation of Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic.' It was hardly worth while, they say, to sacrifice so many thousands of lives and spend so many millions, for which a far better application might be found, to expose even the Crown of France, merely to give Lombardy to Victor Emmanuel. Italy shall be free to the Adriatic !'; Each one asks his neighbour what the Emperor really did mean by this magnificent phrase ? In a word, the discontented can see no thing fixed, nothing defined—and the only point they seem to agree upon is that, whatever quality the Emperor Napoleon possesses, he has not on this occasion given proof of common sense. " Otters, still nitre querulous and more unreaE on- able, carry their complaints further. They have the audacity to affirm that the transfer of the Imperial rights oVer Lombardy minus Venetia, and minus everything else, is not an equivalent for 500,000,000 f. and mountains of slain. I hear of proclamations being torn or defaced in certain quarters of the city inhabited by the mechanical or the student class; and of very strong comments by several who stop to read them. I fear much that those who desired to take the homes from the Emperor's carriage and draw it to the railroad station, when hewas leaving for Italy on the 10th May last, would now allow the cortege to enter without any such let or hin drance, troublesome, though flattering. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Emperor of the French, has addressed the following proclamation to the Army of Italy (a summary of which appeared in The Sun of yester day) : " Headquarters, Valeggio, July 12. " Soldiers !—The bases of peace have been rde cided on with the Emperor of Austria. The prin cipal object of the war is attained, and Italy is about to become, for the first time, a nation. A Confederation of all the States of Italy, under the honorary presidentship of the Pope, will unite into one body the members of the same family. Vene tia, it is true, remains under the sceptre of Austria, but will, nevertheless, be an Italian province, form ing part of the Italian confederation. " The union of Lombardy to Piedmont creates for us on this side of the Alps a powerful ally, who is in debted to us for its independence. The Governments which have remained aloof from the movement, or which may be recalled to their possessions, will un derstand the necessity of salutary reforms. A general amnesty will remove all traces of civil discord. Italy, henceforth mistress of her destinies, will only have herself to blame if she does not re gularly progress in order and liberty. " You will soon return to France ; and your grateful country will welcome with transport those soldiers who raised so high the glory of the French arms at 'Montebello, Palestro, Turbigo, Magenta, Marignano, and Solferino ; who in two months liberated Piedmont and Lombardy, and only stopped because the struggle was about to assume proportions which were no longer commensurate with the interests which actuated France in this formidable war. " Be proud therefore of your successes—proud of the results obtained—and, above all, proud of being the well-beloved sons of that France which will be always a great 'nation as long as she shall have a heart to understand noble causes, and men like you to defend them. " NAPOLEON." The Moniteur contains the following :—" Some disorders occarred in certain towns and at railway stations, on the departure or passage of troops pro ceeding to the army of Italy ; some soldiers, led away by excessive enthusaism, ceased to display their usual calmness and discipline. The Minister of War, when informed of these improper scenes, expressed his deep displeasure, and has just given severe orders to prevent their recurrence. The troops must not forget that in railway carriages, as in their ranks, they are bound to preserve a military bearing ; that their enthusiasm should not be manifested by agitation and clamour ; to bear arms for the Emperor and the country is a noble and serious duty ; those who fulfil it must in no case depart from the calm demeanour which be comes the defenders of the national honour."

SPAIN. MADRID, July 13.—Several arrests were made yesterday at Seville, in consequence of the autho rities having received information that disturb ances were to break out during the night. The ramifications of a democratic conspiracy have been discovered. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. By the arrival in London yesterday of the Pen insular and North African Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer, Warrior, Capt. Henry Cooper, we have advices from Teneriffe to the 20th June ; Mogador, 29th June ; Cadiz, sth July; and Lisbon, Bth July. On the arrival of the Warrior at Mogador, the captain found the town in great uproar. In conse quence of a military revolution having broken out, the Governor was obliged to fly to save his life ; and, in consequence of his having abandoned the town, a republic was proclaimed. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been the usual attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morn in.., and a fair steady business transacted. The prTncip Al sales have been in broad cloths and heavy goods. HuDDERsFIELD, TUESDAY.—The trade continues to manifest steady improvement. The cloth-hall was throughout the day full of strangers, who manifested less caution in their purchases than has characterised them of late. The result was that in doeskins, in fancy trouserings, and in the goods required at this, season, the transactions were heavy and numerous. The wool trade has also undergone reaction, and the sales were:brisk and frequent. SCOTCII PR OPRIETORS.--The total number of proprietors having property of the value of £5 and under £lO on the valuation roll of the Scotch counties, so far as returns have been made, is 7,024, and the total number of occupants of less than £5O and more than £lO, 26,350. The total proprietary of the burghs is 6,356, and the total occu pancy of the same 56,350, thus making a grand total of 13,380 proprietors, and 82,700 occupants. The counties of Ayr, Caithness, Dumbarton, Edinburgh, Lanark, Linlith go w, and Perth refused to furnish returns, and have thus been guilty of a contempt of an order of the House Commons. The promoter of the return . thus ordered was Mr. Kinnaird, M.P. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.--At a meeting of the council yesterday afternoon, Mr. James Moncrieff Arnott, F.R.S., was elected president, and Messrs. John Flint South, of St. Thomas's Hospital, • ancl.Cmsar Henry Hawkins, F.R.S., of St. Gesrge's Hospital, were elected vice-presidents of the college tor the ensuing year. The ,professinA will be glad to hear that at the last meeting of the committee for erecting a statue to John ilunfor i was reported that the subscriptisns already amounted to I 15s. It is intended that the statue shall be of marble a.', aced in the - collage, and that the surplus of the sub kriptitins-thit,t may accrue, and any further funds that may be contributed for that special purpose, be devoted to the endowment of one or more scholarships of comparative ana tomy. It is expected that this pthposition will give great satisfaction to many members of the profession who object to subscribe to the erection of a statue, preferring the establishment of a Hunterian scholarship, for which suffi cient subscriptions will no doubt be at onc— , sent in to Hr. South, the honorary secretary to the fund. NEW WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE. The works in connection with this new bridge continue to progress, and though, undoubtedly, they would advance much more quickly if the Govern ment held the contractors for the ironwork more strictly to their terms as to the time of delivery ; still, in spite of unexpected delays in this portion of the undertaking, Mr. Page has contrived within the last two months to get all the cast-ironwork of the arches axed and bolted together, with the ex ception of the arch from No. 1 pier, which, how ever, will be completed with the rest in the course of a fortnight more. Fixing the cast-ironwork means that the greatest difficulties of each arch are overcome. In fact, as cast-iron constitutes more that four-fifths of every arch, very little, compara tively speaking, now remains to do to complete the western half of the new structure. We have be fore described how each arch is of great span, though of slight vise ; in form, therefore, elliptical. The crowns of the arches are thus almost flat. In order to meet this pecuilar form of construction, it was found necessary to make the ribs partly of cast and partly of wrought iron. The cast-iron parts consist of the whole of the piers and up to above the springing of the arch, where the flat crown commences. The middle flat portion is com posed of ribs of wrought-iron, of immense strength, and calculated to resist the violence of concussion and oscillation caused by the incessant passage of carriage traffic. With the exception of the No. 1 pier we have mentioned, all the cast ironwork is complete, and only the short wrought iron ribs in the crown of each remain to be lowered into their places to complete the bridge for the formation of the roadway, Two of the Surrey-side arches are now quite finished, and have their wrought-iron portions bolted in, and over all other arches the roadway has begun to be formed on the cast-iron portions. The roadway is formed in the first instance by laying downashe2ting of wrought iron " buckle" plates as they are termed, which are exactly in the form of an immense square and slightly concave tea-tray, seven feet long by four broad, and rather less than half an inch thick. The peculiar form of these plates gives them immense strength on their convex sides. One was testeJ with a block of granite weighing no less than 17 tons, and after remaining under the ponderous mass for nearly a week there was not the least sign of permanent compression. The ribs of each are placed at a distance of five feet apart, except in the two footways for passengers, where the weight being trifling, they are fixed at intervals of seven feet. Over these ribs the buckle plates are bolted down, the channels covered by the slopes between each being filled up with blocks of wood and asphalt, till the whole way is a perfect level. Over the asphalt, when firm, will be placed concrete _to the depth of a foot or so, and over this again a stone paving known as granite " pitching," or a paving of the same kind as is now being laid down on Lon don-bridge. Mr. Page has managed to cut away the abutments of the old bridge in such a manner as to allow the fixing of another rib, and by this means there will be a gain of six feet in width to the poblic on the opening of the western half, which will then be some two or three feet wider than the present bridge. In the same spirit, and to give the utmose facilities for traffic which his means allow, he proposes when the first half is opened, and the old bridge sufficiently pulled down to per mit the extension, to carry out a wooden footway, about 12 feet wide, on the east side of the bridge, and thus leave almost the whole of the permanent road free for carriage traffic. By the adoption of such a plan the roadway of the western half of the bridge alone would be wider than the whole of the old structure, footways and all put together. Such a plan has been proposed, over and over again for the passenger traffic of London-bridge, in order to make the whole of the roadway and footpaths en tirely available for the immense carriage traffic,which for the last two or three years has almost rendered this great avenue to the city impassable. Why a plan so feasible, and one which would afford im mediate relief and at so small a cost, has not been carried out it is difficult to say. The time at pre sent fixed for the opening of the first half of the new Westminster-bridge is still stated to be next autumn, but, from one cause or other, it is likely to be Christmas, if not later, before the public will have access to it. One most fertile cause of delay has been the non-delivery of the ironwork in time, and unless this matter is looked into at once this dravvizAck in the progress of the structure is likely to COntinue with the eastern half. Another cause of dela,— will be the want of proper ap proaches to thb bridge. The whole block of houses on the -'.:trreY side, from Stangate ltructure, is intended to be street to the foot of the h removed, with the greater i; s or tion of the block be neath the Clock-tower on the 1;1 iddlesex side. It ! is true that a bill is now passing thrC p. ,- ,h the House of Commons to acquire these buildings, but after the bill is passed and the houses are pulled down it will take some time to make the approaches. Mr. Page has, however, so arranged his plans that b: r lowering the road s ay at each end of the old bridge, and making a sharp turn in the road, he can ma nage to open the new bridge even before the re• moval of the houses we have mentioned. But even to carry out this expedient properly must delay the opening, and at the best be but an inconvenient method of avoiding an obstacle where no obstacle should exist if all did their duty. When the first half is fairly opened the completion of the second half will occupy but a comparatively short space of time—probably not more than from 12 to 15 months at the outside. All the piers except two for the east half are entirely finished, and ready, if tie old structure was removed, for the reception of the bed-plates and Iron arches to-morrow. Al these piers have been carried through the openings of the arches of the old bridge. One has even been carried under the centre and most defective arch, and now serves as a massive foundation for the timber shores which support the old arch above it. This was a work of no ordinary difficulty, and even danger ; but once accomplished it has, of course, made the old and defective piers stronger than ever. The eastern halves of two of the piers are not completed, and cannot be till the old bridge is pulled down, as the present piers occupy the ground where the new ones must pass. Where they amount t e mh r e s o un N n V ltd ill oafr b et e ih. neol arches, the, andad ar e carried through, a s l i l d t e l rd ie an s bln e vle p g b y r ea t t h e i s s t u m t i e l a i t n y s i a n ta con king money will be saved. parapets for the new The pattern of the stone structurehas been decided on. It is of granite, b o ld and highly ornamented in its proportions. The timber supports for the " travel ling" cranes, &c., to be used in the second half are already fixed, so that no delay mayexperienced in be in getting thi s port i on forward as soon as it can be commenced upon. The amount of timber used in the bearing piles of the bride is 45,700 cubic feet ; of cast iron in the foundation,l,6oo tons ; and in the superstructure, 2,600 tons. The wrought iron in the superstructure is 1,300 tons, and in the foun dation 70 tons for tie rods. In the other parts there are used no less than 165,000 cubic feet of granite, 21,000 cubic yards of brickwork and Portland cement, and 30,000 cubic yards of concrete. These seem large proportions, though, for its size, New Westminster-bridge will be one of the lightest and cheapest bridges over the Thames, and, beyond all I question, the strongest and handsomest. MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS IN BORNEO. A correspondent at Batavia has forwarded to Messrs. James Finlay and Co., of Glasgow, the fol lowing intelligence : " We have the greatest regret in informing you that we have, by the arrival of the Dutch Govern ment steamer Ardjceno, from Banjermassing, on the 21st inst., received the most disastrous tidings re garding the coal mine establishment of Kalungair, which has by some accounts been entirely, by others only partly, destroyed by an i nsurrec ti on amo ng the native subjects of the Sultan of Banjermassing; but, saddest of all, the whole of the European em ployes have been brutally murdered, without kav jug one to tell the tale. The tragedy was enacted on the 18th of the month, and attended with horrors not exceeded by anything which occurred even at Cawnpore. The particulars you will find described in a circular addressed to the shareholders by the directors of the company. Reinforcements of troops are being sent in all haste from this and Samarang, with three or fou r s t eamer s, which will no doubt be sufficient to restore peace and order in the coun try, and we trust may arrive in time to save the re maining Europeans at Banjermassing: and neigh bourhood. The cause of the insurrection proceeds in no way from dislike to the mines, where the greatest peace and co ntentment have always pre vailed, but to a long-brooding disaffection of the natives of Banjermassing to their new Sultan, who had been maintained on his throne mainly by the protection of our Government, contrary to the will of the people, and as it would . appear, in disregard of the legitimate right of succession of another prince named Hidayal, who was at the same time the favourite of the people. This disaffection among the people, excited . to revolt and murder by some Mahommedan priests lately returned from Mecca, i s su pposed to have been, the cause which has led to the sacrifice of . so many precious liv es , a l re ady amou nting, so far as known, to 50 or 51 in number. Among . these four German missionaries, three of their wives, and 19 children are s t a t e d to ha v e fallen vieticat to the knives of the asiiassinb." LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS.

Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., on the further hearing of this cause, resumed and concluded his argument in reply for the appellants. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Crarnworth , and Lord Chelmsford, were unanimously of opinion that the decision of the Lord,Chancellor of Ireland vas r ight and aught to be affirmed. Theft lordships were of opinion that there vats no fraud and no misrepresentation practised on the appellant to induce him to enter into the agreement in question. I t was a family agreement, and as such was favoured in law. The onus probandi lay on the plaintiff to prove fraud, an d he had not done so. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of Chancery, and dismissed the appeal with costs;. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7HIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC SHOPLIFTING.—TIIREE CIIAR.GES.—TWO smartly-dressed young girls, named Harriet Davis and Caroline Harrison (well known to the police), about 1. 6 2 were charged before Mr. Beadon with shoplifting at various shops in Oxford-street the previous afternoon. An assistant to Mr. Bird, hosier, of Oxford-street, proved that the prisoners came in and asked to see some silk pocket handkerchiefs, and while they were examining them he aw one move on the counter, and shortly after saw it pro trnding from Davis's dress. He spoke to another shopmarit and s while he was gone for a constable, it was replaced 011 the counter. Mrs- K enton, searcher at the Marlborough-street statiotl , said, on searching the prisoners, she found in tb e skirt of Davis's cli - ess three other silk handkerchiefs and a scat The prison'e'rs asked her not to show them to the inspector• Wm. Roauts, assistant to Mr. Charles Cooper, hosier, of Oxford-•street, identified one of the handkerchiefs produced as the propert3 - of his employer. T. Pawny, as t .istant to Mr. Bamfather, hosier, Oxford' street, identified two pocket- handkerchiefs as the property of his employer. The prisoners pl,9aded guilty. Mr. Beadon said they had commenced life abominabli bad, and had previously been concerned in a bad robber'' , but unfortunately hard not gone for trial. They had become regular shoplifters, and but for their age he should hate cent them for trial. Committed for six months, with hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
