It 7' /•k • . 49 • ,A 4.1 ' THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1862. The Prussian Chambers are now fairly buckling to for their sessional labours. Tho representative s have already elected their President and their two Vice-Presidents. The first mentioned—M. GSA- Bow—being chosen almost unanimously, almost by acclamation. And, judging from his inaugural address on assuming his presidential office, an ad mirably judicious choice it has been. For—in the exquisitely delicate and difficult position of affairs just now, as between not merely the majority of the newly-elected assembly and the actual members of we might almost vent ure the Government, but even, to say, between the great mass of the Prussian people (at any rate of the electors) and the reigning Sovereign—no words that could have been addressed to the assembly at such a crisis could possibly have breathed more the spirit of moderation or of conciliation to all parties, and even section of parties, than those which were spoken on the 23d instant by M. GRABOW on his entering upon his duties as President. Reading merely the brief and fragmentary notes of that speech that have as yet reached us here in England, we do not in any way wonder that the member thus promptly selected from all those recently returned by the various constituencies to the Prussian Legislature should have been chosen, nearly as we have in other words already intimated, nemine contradicente. There, literally, in M. GRaßow—standing in front of the Presidential chair,and addressing the assembly—was "the right man in the right place." Not—to employ SYDNEY SMITH'S whimsical figure of speech (an odd foreshadowing, by the way, of Mr. LAYARD'S long-subsequent and now world-famous axiom just quoted !)—not the square man in the round hole, or, vice versa, the round man in the square hole, but, as one may say, a hexagon or a rhomboid, or some other exceedingly queer-shaped figure, presenting a distinct side, as it were, to all the various and complicating parties about him, and fitting in there just to a nicety ! What really and truly, then, it may be asked, is the light thus thrown by M. GRABOW'S peculiarly conciliatory inaugural address upon the hitherto gloomy and chaotic view taken, since the recent elections throughout Prussia, of the political situa tion ? What is the light ? Why, truly, if it be not tinged throughout with the most delicious couleur do rose imaginable, it is, at any rate, of the most charming and exhilarating character the veri est political optimist could have hoped for ! M. GRABOW, after thanking the assembly for electing him almost unanimously, promises—as we can see, when we have read his speech, that he might safely do, and with a clear conscience—distinctly and emphatically promises " impartiality !" He then advocates—[mark now, well, what it is precisely that he does advocate]—he then advocates almost in so many words the great and noble principle of Prince and People ! The loyalty of the man is clearly indestructible. It matters nothing that the Prince and the People are in direct and visible antagonism to each other throughout nearly the whole of the elec tions that have just terminated. It signifies nothing that of this notorious antagonism, M. GRABOW had before him, in the anti-ministerial crowd of representatives who were then listening to him, the most obvious and glaring attestation. " All's one for that," to M. GRABOW, no less than to Sir JOHN FALSTAFF. The late elections, to the contrary, nevertheless, notwithstanding, he is still con amore for the great and noble principle of the Prince and People. And not only is it thus with M. GRABOW—unconquerable in his loyalty—but it is actually thus also with the anti-ministerial as sembly itself who have just chosen him for their President. The representatives, at any rate, affect it to be so ; they assume the virtue of this over weening and all-mastering loyalty, if they have it not ! Their mode of doing this, moreover, is, in truth, exemplary. For, hardly has M. GRABOW observed among other things, that the unity he is speaking of is one the Prussian nation will never allow to be dist urbed ; that they, the representatives, will always uphold alike the sworn rights of the People and the constitutional rights of the Crown ; that the late attempt to raise an election cry of " KING or Parliament" had been answered by their all de claring for the Constitutional Monarchy in combi nation with the faithfully Constitutional Chamber of Deputies : hardly had M. GRABOW capped the climax of these loyal assertions by maintaining that all Prussia had (in the recent elections) raised the cry of " Long live King WILLIAM I. and the illus trious house of the HOHENZOLLERNS !"—when the Deputies echoed back the cry with a ringing burst of what we know so well in this country as a genuine " three .times , three and one cheer more !" President and Assembly are evidently bent alike upon letting the KING down as softly as may be. His Minis ters, his political creatures, have been tumbled into the dust—one and all of them—and rolled there. With his MAJESTY himself, how ever, the chosen representatives of the people —now that they have turned the Statesmer. of his choice quietly to the right about—the Deputies are prepared to deal only with the courtliest good grace conceivable. A wise and most judicious course certainly ; but none the less amusing to all dispassionate lookers on— after what has so very recently occurred. One can't help feeling, for example, that if this is the manner in which the Prussian people have been raising these vaunted cries of loyalty to "King WILLIAM and the illustrious House of the HOHEN ZOLLERNS," it is the oddest fashion of doing it that the most fantastic lover of cross-purposes could well have contrived. A homely adage smith, " Love me, love my dog." The bran new axiom, now brought to light by the Prussian elections, says, on the other hand, in the name of whoever happens at any time to be the reigning Monarch of that Kingdom, "Love me, kick out my Ministry!" Bewildered though we may be at the utterance—M. GRABOW has said it, and the newly chosen Deputies of the Prussian people have cheered it! The election, by the way, on the 23d instant, at Berlin, first of all of M. GRABOW as President, and afterwards of M. BEHREND and of M. BocKum DOLFFS as the two Vice-Presidents—ought to be regarded only, in point of fact, according to the strange usage there in vogue iu the Prussian Assem bly as a mere preliminary proceeding. For at the out set President and Vice-Presidcnta are only oilmen for . the first four weeks, and have then to be either set aside or re-elected. Under the peculiar circum stances of the case, however, wo cannot for an instant doubt but that M. GRABOW must as by a sort of necessity be re-elected, as he has been already elected • that is, all but unani mously. And, for this sufficient reason, that— " None but himself can be his parallel !" Three bills will come before Parliament to night, all of them testing ones on either civil or religious liberty; hence, w e fear, none of them likely to meet from the present Parliament with the reception they deserve. One, indeed, is to be offered to the House of Lords. Its obj ec t is to save a large por tion of the clergy from what is equi va l en t t o per jury. But, undoubtedly, the Lords will much pre fer clerical perjury t o relaxa tion of the A c t o f Uniformity. The act, as is well-know n , requires from the greater part of clergymen, no t Only an engagement to use the Parliamentary Prayer-book but to declare their " unfeigned assent and consent" to all contained in it. A declara tion which not only ejected the two thousand two centuries ago, but which a PORSON, with his thorough honesty, and hundreds, perhaps thou sands, of honest. Churchmen since, could not make; and who have, in consequence,not taken holy order s. Indeed, clergymen of the hi g h es t s t an ding, bishops included, have declared the literal "assent and con sent" to be so impracticable to any man of intelli gence that they sought refuge in some non-natural interpretation. This means nothing else than doing in religion, and in order to be a clergyman, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1862. what no man of honour would do to take any other post in the national service. Lord EBUBY proposes that the declaration of conformity which clergymen already make shall be sufficient, and that declaration of belief in some hundreds of dogmas, all of which no single mind can believe, shall not be required. If we mistake not, we shall see the Lords, under Lord DUNGANNON'S leadership, voting briskly to uphold clerical unveracity. Sir JOEIN TRELAWNY will also test the Commons on the subject of oaths. His object is a very simple and reasonable one. By the inconceivable perver sity of our common law manufacturers, the judges, although they have most of them heard of BEN THAM, they object to r3ceive evidence unless it be given according to their own religious notions. Granted that it may show some mental perversity not to believe in the existence of the DEITY, it does not follow that the man is therefore a liar. Indeed the fact that he avows his unpopular be• lief in Court, and frequently at the hazard of losing justice for himself, or for others in whom he feels in terested, shows that he is a truthful man. But the great folly is in refusing any evidence. Let all come forward. Let its worth be weighed by the judge and the jury, but let nothing be declined which may afford a hint or clue in the investigation of truth. If we take the evidence of men and women accused of adultery in a Divorce Court, it is surely mere legal prudery to refuse that of a wit ness whose error is at the worst an intellectual one. However, the members for the University of Cam bridge, perhaps it may be Mr. DISRAELI himself, in his new line of Wednesday intolerance, will pro bably bid the Conservative hosts reject the measure. And then the Ballot—why, of course, that is to be tipped off without remorse. A funny speech from Mr. BERKELEY—an unmistakeable eagerness for dinner—a suppression of all debate—and then a coalition of Whigs and Tories will soon vote the contemned measure down. The members are all pretty well agreed that they would rather be able to buy and influence votes, as they now do. Many of their constituencies desire them to support the Ballot, and they do so ; but the number who can confide its deserts with confi dence to a really independent constituency is is very small. Nevertheless the really earnest members, in connection with the numerons earnest constituencies, could, if they would, easily bring about a very different state of things in the Govern ment and in the house. We shall see to-night how the motion for free and independent voting fares, in a House the majority of which must have been elected by bribery and unfair influence, in all their indefinable shapes and forms.

The resources which it would have given to the Treasury will be prochred by a reduction of 30,000 men of the land forces. This aeduction would be on all the divisions. Consequently, there would be a re duction of 2,000 men in the Borps of Occupation at Rome."

(PER NIAGARA, BY TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX AND via QUEENSTOWN,) NEW YORK, MAY 15. According to the Baltimore American, prisoners returned from Richmond report that the evacuation of that place was merely a matter of time. The Confederate Government officials declared they would resist to the last, but it was believed they were secretly preparing for an evacuation. Some Confederate troops have been sent north wards to check M‘Do well's advance. The most violent Confederates in Richmond stated that it was intended to throw their whole army on to Wash. ington, but the Union men believed this to be a ruse to deceive people. A New York ?Imes despatch states that Governor Sprague, who has just returned from M'Clellan's advance, reports that the Federal loss in the battle at Williamsburg will amount to 2,000, and that the Confederate loss was not less. Governor Sprague says the battle at West Point was much more severe than has been reported, and that at least 500 Federals were taken prisoners, the Confederates taking advantage of the landing of the Federals. The Federal gunboats arrived in good time, and saved Franklin from suffering severe disaster. Governor Sprague speaks in the highest terms of General Freeman, who has commanded the Federal advance since the evacuation of Yorktown. Another despatch, addressed to the same journal from Falmouth, in the department of the Rappa hannock, says the Confederate lines are maintained as formerly, and it seems to be definitely established that they are throwing up earthworks, but these are supposed to be merely to protect pickets, as it is not anticipated that they intend to preserve an isolated line in that vicinity. The Uonrederate and Federal uutpuoth are only 100 rods distant from each other. Mr. Edward Stanley, of San Francisco, has been appointed Military Governor of North Carolina. A despatch from Pittsburg Landing, dated the 14th inst., announces that General Halleck would on that day move his camp four miles to the front. The Federal forces are at an average distance of two and a•half to three miles from the Confederate entrenchments at Corinth. The Federal army advances slowly, because of the nature of the ground necessitating the building of corduroy roads and bridges. It is generally understood that an engagement at Corinth will come off this week. General Mitchell is reported to have formed a junction with General Pope. Mitchell's division now forms the extreme left of the Federal lines. Beauregard is fortifying Grand Junction, evi dently with the intention of falling back there if beaten at Corinth. The number of troops under Beauregard is esti mated at General Halleck's head-quarters at from 120,000 to 170,000 men. In the Federal Congress, Senator Trumbull has offered a resolution, that the President should, if it were consistent with public interests, communicate to the Senate any information he may have of any design on the part of any foreign Power to inter vene in the contest now existing, and should also state whether any , foreign nation had made any arrangements with the insurgents, or had it contem plated to do so ? The New Orleans Delta of May 1 contains a copy of the protest of Commander Clouet, of the French steamer Milan, opposite New Orleans, addressed to the commander of the Federal fleet. In this protest Commander Clouet states that he is at New Orleans to protect 30,000 French inhabi tants, and regrets to learn that only 48 hours had been accorded for the evacuation of the city by the women and children, and continues,— " This short delay is ridiculous. It you are re solved to bombard the city, you will have to account for this barbarous act to the French Gcvernment. In any event I demand 60 days for the evacuation." A copy of the vote of thanks of the House of Representatives has been forwarded by special messenger to General M'Clellan, The House of Representatives has passed tI Army Bill, appropriating 421,000,000 dols. for the year ending June, 1863. In addition to this 208,000,000 dols. have been voted during the pre sent session for current army expenses and de ficiencies for the present year. The 11 ew York World says that Secretary Stanton has issued an order that newspaper correspondents shall not be permitted to telegraph any account of the approaching battle at Corinth after it has taken place until the report is first revised by the military censor at Cairo. The New York Tribune has a special Washington despatch, stating that the French Minister had r& ceived intelligence from the French Consul at Rich mond that the Confederate Government had notified to him that, if it were found necessary to evacuate Richmond, the French tobacco must be destroyed with the rest, the Confederates offering at the same time to pay for it. The Federal General Hunter, commanding the Military Department of -Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, has issued a proclamation declaring martial law in those States ; and as martial law and slavery are incompatible, all slaves in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina are declared for ever free. The steam-ship Champion, from Aspinwall, ar rived at New York with 484,000 dohs, in specie. The question of the admission of Edwin James to the New York bar is being canvassed, both sides having strong advocates. Edwin James has soli cited a meeting of the New York bar for Saturdays when he intends to state his case, taking the ground that he is still a member of the English bar, and that his diploma has never been avoided or re voked. Should the committee report unfavour ably, Mr. James has retained Mr. J. T. Brady as his counsel. THE LATE C,4LANI7Y 11V HOLLAND, UTRECHT, SUNDAY. The fearful calamity which has recently occurred to Enschede can now be estimated at its real im portance. Seventeen-twentieths of the town have become a mass of ruins, and about 4,000 persons are homeless and penniless, A great portion of the property destroyed was uninsured, but the ma chinery employed in the manufactories was chiefly insured in English offices. The distress of the burned-out operatives is very great, but liberal sub scriptions of money uutl contributions of clothing are being sent in. A vast number of tents have been erected' in the adjoining fields for the tempo rary accommodation of the homeless. The report that the fire was caused by lightning is incorrect ; it is believed to have been the work of an incen diary. In any case, a man has been arrested on grave suspicion of having set fire to his own house for some ulterior purpose. Only one manufactory has escaped destruction, and the damage is esti mated at upwards of a million sterling. Almost all the books and papers of value have been de stroyed, owing to the worthlessness of the fire-proof safes employed. Several persons are missing, and it is feared they have been suffocated in the smoke. One hundred thousand guilders have been for warded to the relief committee from the sub-com mittees formed in the different cities of the kingdom. LAW OF PARTNERSIIIP.—The bill which Mr. Scholefield has just introduced into the House of Commons proposes to allow persons lending money to traders on the terms of receiving a share of profits as interest, and regis tering the transaction at the Joint Stock Companies' Re gistration-office not to become general partners, but only limited partners. Only the general partners will bo liable to bankruptcy, but in case of such bankruptcy limited part ners are not to be paid till after the other creditors ; and in case of bankruptcy within 12 months after their ceasing to be limited partners, they are liable to refund money repaid to them within that twelvemonth for satisfaction of the claims of creditors who were such while these persons were limited partners. The bill also proposes that the names of the partners in a firm are to be registered if the title of the firm does not contain them all, or contains the name of a person not really in the business. We understand that a petition in bankruptcy was, on Saturday, died against Mr. G. V. Brooke, the tragedian, who is now a prisoner in Warwick County Gaol, under a ca, se. It is reported that he will be released on Wednesday next.-13irmingham Post, THE NATIONAL BANK. MEETING THIS DAY. The National Bank held its annual meeting to day. Mr. M. Usborne in the chair. The report stated that— " On no occasion since the foundation of the society in 1835 have the directors had such substantial results whereon to congratulate the shareholders concerning the progress of the company. The greatly increased profits of the bank are to some extent duo to the prevalence of high rates of interest during a great portion of the year 1861 They. are, however, also due to an actual augmentation of the business of the bank both in England and in Ireland. The balance-sheet at the close of 1861 exhibits a total of assets of above six millions, being the highest figure ever reached by the bank at the close of any year since its establishment. Since these accounts wore made up, a dividend at the rate of £8 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 15s. per share, amounting together to £35,000, were paid in February last. The amount of undivided profits after payment of the bonus and dividend therefore stood at 4199,050 14s. 6d. this year, as compared with £146,93155. 5d., the amount of undivided profits after payment of the February dividends in 1861. The directors desire now to recall the attention of the pro prietors to the fact that in May, 1857, the paid-up capital of the bank was augmented out of accumulated profits from £450,000 to £500,000, since which date the divi dends of the bank have been declared rateably on the larger sum—the rest or unappropriated profit then commencing at £70,534 9s. 4d. after that operation. The directors have referred to the augmenta tion of the capital in 1857, because they now propose that the paid-up capital of the bank shall be further increased from £500,000 to £6oo,ooo—by a present allocation of £5 per share on 20,000 shares, making together £loo,ooo—out of the undivided profits, after which proposed addition to paid-up capital the rest or undivided profits will be £99,050 14s. 6d., and each £5O share will stand as £3O paid-up. When the dividend shall be declared next August it is proposed that it shall be at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum on the paid-up capital of £600,000, and that the bonus or extra dividend shall be 16s. per share." The Chairman proposed the adoption of the re port, and stated that the progress of the Bank was exceedingly stltiofrintory. He stated that, after paying £70,000 last year for a dividend and a bonus, there was left £52,000 to be carried to the profit and loss account, the profit for the year be ing 24f per cent. on the capital. The new branches in England and Ireland, which num bered eighteen, had not cost more than £1,250 each, while the head building, in which they were then assembled represented an expense of £29,500. The average amount of divideza and bonus paid during the last three years to the pro prietors was about £2O 13s. per share. In conclu sion the Chairman again alluded to the prosperous condition of the bank and its increasing business, and condemned in very strong terms the writer of an anonymous letter, who was supposed to be a dis charged official of the establishment. The 'report wes carried by acclamation, and the returning officers re-elected. An alteration was made yesterday in one of the rules of the Stock Exchange, but it is only of interest to the members. The time for payment on foreign stocks or scrip shares is altered from three o'clock to half-past two o'clock on account days only. On other days the regula tions stand as before. THE EMILIE ST. PIERRE.--The Morning Post has the following :—lt will be remembered that an English vessel of this name recently arrived at Liverpool, in charge of her master, steward, and cook, who had recaptured her from an American crew. She had attempted to run the blockade, and was fairly and lawfully seized by the Federal blockading squadron, and then sent for adjudication in charge of a prize crew. By dint of clever stratagem and no small pluck, the three Englishmen succeeded in regaining possession of the ship, and in navigating her to Liverpool. The American Government has now requested her surrender back to them. We understand, however, that this demand cannot be complied with, as there is no municipal law that takes covisauce of the act cf these three men as an offence, or indeed recognises such an injury suffered by a belligerent. Had an American cruiser met the Emilie St. Pierre on the high seas she might have seized her, and the fact of the rescue would have condemned her in international law. But there is no municipal law which can warrant the English Government in delivering her up to that of America, with whose request it is therefore bound to refuse compliance. FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS.—Yesterday morn ing, at an early hour, a fire broke out in the premises be longing to Mr. C. R. Smith, licensed victualler and pro prietor of the White Horse Tavern, situate No. 105, Long acre, but the firemen managed to confine the fire to the basement. The loss will fall upon th. Stu °Ca.:o. A firo, attended with great loss of property, happened in the pre mises belonging to Mr. A. March, an ostrich feather dresser, carrying on business at No. 128, Cannon-street road East. It was arrested in its progress just as it was attacking the premises of Mr. E. Bell, No. 126, and those of Mrs. E. Beaumont, No. 130, in the same street. The firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until the premises of Mr. March were nearly destroyed, and those of Mr. Bell and Mrs. Beaumont severely injured. Mr. March was insured in the Alliance Fire-office; Mr. Bell was insured in the Emperor-office; but Mrs. Beaumont was not insured. Another fire also took place in the pre mises of Mr. J. Bartlett, No. 12, South-street, Bethnal green-road. Considerable damage was done. The sufferer was uninsured. THE BALLOT SOCIETY.—The weekly meeting of the Executive Committee was held on Monday, at the Offices 5, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-street, Mr. J. F. Bontems (in the chair), Mr. Sydenham Nodes, Mr.White hurst, Mr. Man, &c., were present. A letter from Lord Teynham was read, regretting hls inability to attend the recent meeting at the Whittington Club, but expressing his "undiminished attachment to the objects sought by the society." The committee were engaged in consi dering the notice of motion for a bill to allow the votes of municipal electors to be taken by way of ballot, in all places where the Town Council shall so think fit— and unanimously agreed to the following resolution —" That this committee earnestly and respectfully solicits the Par liamentary friends of the ballot to support the motion of which notice has been given by Mr. Augustus Smith, M.P., for the adoption of the ballot in municipal elections." FROM THE OCEAN.—Last week, a bottle was picked up on the shore, near Culzean, containing a slip of paper, on which was written, with pencil, the following:— Ship, Crescent of the Wave, 23d June, 1856. Lost sight of Cape Clear on Wednesday-12 days out. Stiff breeze blowing from the Atlantic. Two births on board and ono death since leaving. Except this all are well. Any per son finding this will please intimate to John Smith, Large„ that his on Tom is well.—T. S." Six years, it will be seen, has the bottle been sailing on the boisterous waves without being broken.—Ayr shit e Advertiser. A correspondent of the Lahore Chronicle gives an account of the marriage of the son of the Maharajah of Cashmere with the daughter of the Rajah of Chumba. The Cashmere chief came to the wedding with his whole court, and 10,000 followers. The marriage presents were nunaer o u s and costly. According to the Rajpoot custom, cach chief on becoming a guest received a present of a bag of money, and on being dismissed by the Maharajah a handsome khillut with another bag of money. During the hours of the night the nuptial knot was tied, a form which is litter ally performed according to Rindoo custom, by tying the garments of the bride and bridegroom together, while the incantations are read. The bridegroom is a boy of nine, the bride an infant. The marriage ceremonies are said to have cost the Rajah 70,000 rupees and the Maharajah about 15 lakhs. THE JAPANESE AT HOME—To every one who has seen or hoard of our adventurous Asiatic visitors, the question will naturally occur, " What will they think of their own countrymen when they get back again on comparing the state of things Japanese with what they have witnessed in Europe ? How will they, at first, recon cile themselves to the absence of railways, gas, telegraphs, postage stamps, carriages, and operatic spectacles ? What impression are they likely themselves to receive, on re turning to give an account of their mission to the authori ties who sent them hither ?" For experience teaches the traveller that not until he revisits his native land can he fully appreciate what he has seen elsewhere in relation to what he left at home. The Dutchman has no idea how wonder fully flat Holland is, until he takes his rest, after a tour in Switzerland, in his own country-house on the banks of a currentless canal. The varied beauties of landscape scenery are never so thoroughly felt, as after the monotony of a long sea voyage. How heartily do Arctic discoverers enjoy the luxurious influence of a temperate climate I How couriers, who have been posting night after night, le vel in the c o mf or t o f a pa i r o f s heets in an unjog sleeping-place I The rustic who returns t o his village, m age, after a first visit to London town, never before knew how small was that village; how noiseless, grass-grown, and thinly populated. And it is likely that the Japanese am• bassadors, until they set foot once more in Japan, will hardly suspect what a singular place is Japan, and what a singular people are the Japanese. AN IMPERIAL SPY.—Espionage throughout Japan is open, habitual, legal, i andar part of thecial G .

During the conferences with Baren Gros, one of the Japanese plenipotentiaries, named Kamai Sakio Kami, was taciturn, never uttering a word, not even in the midst of the most earnest discussions. His business seemed to be to listen, and not to talk ; and no favourable idea of his intel lect was formed. One day the embassy was astonished at learning the real nature and importance of his functions. They beheld on his visiting•eard the noble title, IMFERIA.L SPY.—Dickens's " All tile Year Round." ROYAL, FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD. — The number of patients relieved at this hospital, during the week ending May 24, was 2,891, of wb,ioll 814 were new 05550. 2HE COURT, According to the present arrangements, her Majesty, with the Royal family and suite, will leave Balmoral on Tuesday morning, the 3d proximo, for Windsor Castle, where she will arrive on the following morning to breakfast, soon after 8 o'clock. The Court will remain at Windsor until Monday, the 16th of June, the day before Asset Races, when her Majesty will take her departure for Osborne, Isle of Wight. Preparations are going forward for the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, which will take place at Osborne about the latter end of June or early in July, and not, as has been stated, on the 9th of June. The Princess Alice and her illustrious consort contem plate visiting Switzerland in the autumn. The State apartments at Windsor Castle will be closed to the public after Friday next, and will remain so during the time of her Majesty's residence there. A large number of workmen, chiefly masons, are con stantly engaged on the erection of the royal mausoleum in Frogmore-gardens destined to contain the ashes of the late Prince Consort, the base of which is nearly completed, and a scaffold 100 feet high is being erected for raising the heavy blocks of stone. It will be a magnificent structure, and, when complete, is calculated to contain nearly 100 coffins, being chiefly composed of stone. It will be a long time before it is completed. The grand aquatic procession of the Eton boys to Stirley Hall, which was established to celebrate the birthday of King George - 111., which occurred on the 4th of June, and until this year has been held on that day, will, we under stand, be postponed to the following day, Thursday, the sth of June. The reason of this variation is for the accommodation of many of the nobility and gentry who invariable visit Eton on these occasions, and who also are in the habit of visiting Epsom on the Derby-day. FT Mr. Adeane, M.P., and Lady Elizabeth Adeane have arrived on a visit to Lord and Lady Ashburton, at Bath House, from Babraham, Cambridgeshire. GARIBALDI AND ITALY.—Signora Jessie White Mario will deliver her last lecture in England, before re turning to Italy, at St. James's Hall, this evening, the 27th inst. James Stansfeld, Esq., M.P., will take the chair at 8 o'clock. HANDEL FESTIVAL, CRYSTAL PALACE.— "Messiah," Monday, June 23d; Selection, Wednesday, June 25th; "Israel in Egypt," Friday, June 27th. An atrocious murder was committed in November last on the persons of a man and his wife, named Lemelle, residing in the rue Guenegaud, at Orleans. The two vic tims of this crime were found lying dead in their own house, with their skulls fractured, and near them was the body of their dog with its head cut off. The murder was discovered by the son of the deceased, who rushed into a neighbour's house about nine in the evening, apparently in great dis tress, and declared that he had found his father and mother murdered. On entering the house, the police found every thing in great disorder, as if the murderers had ransacked the place in search of valuables. During the evening neighbours had heard the dog howling and barking, and concluded that Lemelle was flogging it, but when the poor animal was found dead, 'there remained no doubt that it had been killed while attempting to defend its master and mistress. Circumstances soon after came to light which threw suspicion on Alexandre Lemelle, the son of the mur dered couple. He was accordingly arrested, and, after a protracted investigation, has just been committed for trial at the next ass'zes of the Loiret, which will be held in July. PLYMOUTH, Monday.—The ship Verulam, 512 tons, Capt. Angel, from Adelaide, Feb. 5, is gone up Chan nel, landing 10 passengers at Falmouth on Sunday evening, She had 30 passengers, and her cargo consists principally of wool and copper. She touched at St. Helena April 10. The Tiptree, Capt. Pine], belonging to Messrs. Redfern, Alexander, and Co., from Sydney, March 3, is gone up Channel, landing at Plymouth, on Thursday evening, five passengers. She had 63 passengers, and her cargo con sists principally of tallow, oil, and wool. No gold declared.

A letter from Toulon states that the superior commission charged to inspect the new oyster beds in the bay of La Seyne, has found them in a very unsatisfactory state. A great part of the oysters were found to be putrid, and those which have lived do not increase in number. Those results, it is said, are caused by the bad quality of the ground, infested with polypi, which destroy the spawn. One curious fact has been discovered. While the oyster beds are so unproductive, the bottoms of the vessels which have remained at anchor for some time in the roadstead, have been found to be covered to the thickness of nearly three inches with small oysters. THE LATE COLONEL ROLLESTON.—The late Colonel Rolleston, of Watnall-hall, Notts, who died at Brighton a few days ago, aged 76 years, for a considerable number of years took a prominent part in the public busi ness of the county. He served in the regular stray, and was appointed Col.-Commandant of the Nottingham. Militia at the period of its former enrolment, and also at the time of its embodiment during the Crimean "War. H e was one of the magistrates of the county, sod for a long time acted as chairman at the quarter sessions. In politics he was a consistent member of the Conservative party, and in the year 1820, in conjunction with the late Mr. Asshe ton Smith, contested the borough of Nottingham in that interest, but was defeated by a narrow majority. At the general election of 1837, he was elected as a knight of the shire for the southern division of the county, which be re presented until.lB49, when he accepted the Chiltern Hun dreds. Of late years he has only visited Notts during the time the Sherwood Foresters have been embodied for their annnal training. An occurrence took place on the 15th inst., at the Porta Maggiore, Rome, which demonstrates the com plete complicity of King Francis 11. with the reactionary leaders. A cisciara—a name implying a sandalled peasant woman, of th e Neapolitan province of Terra di Livoro— passing through the gat e a t 4:o'clock p.m., was detained, frominformation received," by a party of French gen dilriliewho, on searc hi ng her picturesque garments, foun d that she was the beater of important despatches from his BOUTtollie Ri . ajcsty to General Chiavone.

Grabow has been re-elected president of the Second Chamber by 276 votes out of 288. A pro gressist and a member of the Central Left have been re-elected vice-presidents. The following was the speech of the President of the Chamber after his election : " Gentlemen—At the beginning of my political career, in 1840, I heard, in company with thousands upon thousands of enthusiastic Prussians, the follow ing words from the lips of the King The path of kings is watered with tears, if they have not with them the hearts and minds of their people.' In those lofty words the great, the noble, and glori ous principle of the union of prince and people was pronounced in its largest acceptation. From that principle flows the power of liberty, the well-being of the state. This principle has been in all time the ca.z.vcoi. 11. 1 6.cenaollern dynasty, the most precious jewel of the Prussian nation, which is so great in history ; and this union we, the repre sentatives of the people, do not wish ever to see dis turbed. It is that which we wish to maintain, faithful to our august King, and intimately bound in fidelity to the nation. It will help us to keep sacred and inviolable the constitutional rights of the Crown ; it will help us to guard faithfully the sworn rights of the nation ; it will destroy the electoral cry which has been for some time heard amongst the Prussian people, so faithful to their constitution, The dynasty of Parliament'—(loud applause)—it unites us all at the beginning of my functions in the reply, ' Nothing but the constitutional dynasty, with its constitutional Chamber of Deputies'— (applause)—and in the enthusiastic cry' Long live King William I. and all the august house of Hohen zollern !' " A few details have transpired relative to the address which the chamber are about to adopt. It commences by protesting the firm and unalterable loyalty of the great liberal party; it then energe tically blames the manner in which the elections have been conducted, and the attempts made to bring the King into the contests of parties ; and it concludes by announcing the satisfaction of the chamber at the attitude which has been assumed with regard to Hesse Cassel. MR. STANSFELD'S MOTION. (From Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian.) One hears a good deal of speculation just now— speculation as to Mr. Disraeli's " little game'—as to the line he will take on Mr. Stansfeld's motion pledging the Government to reduction of expendi ture, how far he is prepared to go for support from the advocates of retrenchment at all costs, and how long he can combine advances to Mr. W hite and Mr. Bright, The O'Donoghue and Mr. Pope Hen nessy, with the leadership of the Opposition. Then there is speculation as to the line Government will take on Mr. Stansfeld's motion, which is ingeni ously - worded. Mr. Stansfeld moves, that in the opinion of the House the national expenditure is capable of reduction, without compromising the safety, the independence, or the legitimate influence of the country. The Government can not accent this. as they often can accept an abstract resolution 'without practical consequences; but they will contend, and with force, that, if there be any intention of charging the Government with ex travagance, the proper mode of doing so is by rais ing the discussion on the estimates, and not by moving a resolution after the money for the year has been voted. An effective and careful speech may be looked for from Mr. Stansfeld, who has already taken rank as the best speaker, after Bright and Cobden, among the unattached Liberals. The only fault one hears him charged vith is too much finish and elaboration. His art is not yet suffi ciently hidden. But this is only a fault in an old hand. In a young member it is rather a virtue, as marking deliberation, care, and the determination to achieve a position. Mr. Horsman, who will move an amendment on Mr. Stansfeld, is by many con sidered the best speaker, after Gladstone and Bright, in the House of Commons. The debate sustained by such antagonists cannot but be inte resting, The narrow escape of the Alderney forti fication vote, and the defeat of the I3ritish Museum extension scheme, are naturally much commented on. The former is construed into in expression, not only of di3satisfaction with the particular work going on at Alderney, but of the growing convic tion that this locking-up of men 'rid money in stone forts is a mistake altogether. This conviction will not, perhaps, be so deeply shaker as Ministers hope and profess to expect by the nev report of the,, Defence C omm i ss i on , w hi c h will b e in members' hands in a day or two. THE SESSION.—The "slaughter of the inno cents" has been commenced at an earlierrried than usual this session. It was inaugurated last cycling by the with drawal of the Education (Scotland) Bill a Government measure, the order for which was, on the notion of the Lord Advocate, discharged. There is still busintsp enough, how ever, of a useful bharacter befor© the hose to keep the legislative machine going to the end of Jul'. LAW-THIS DAY. Trinity Term commenced this morning, and in conse quence of the judges not breakfasting with the Lord Chan cellor, their lordships took their scats in their respective courts at the usual hour. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channel], Bramwell, and Wilde.) I3ASTITAL V. LLOYD. Mr. Edward James moved in this case for a rule call ing upon the defendant to show cause why the damages found for the plaintiff of £4 should not be increased to £4O. The action was brought by the plaintiff for demurrage by detention of his ship, and was heard before Baron Bram well at the last sittings at Guildhall, and the question was whether the detention of the ship arose from the negligence of the defendant, and whether the plaintiff was entitled to demurrage for the whole period of detention or only part. The Court granted a rule to show cause. BLOXIM V. TALBOT. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., on this cause being called on, made an application to the Court for the postponement of the case, which had been ordered to stand on the peremptory paper, and in which Mr. Sergeant Petersderff had obtained the rule nisi for a new trial, and the question involved was relative to a bill of exchange. The learned gentleman said the difficulty that at present stood in the way was that the defendant was abroad, and they had been unable to obtain his affidavit in explanation in time. The delay was occa sioned in consequence of the difficulty in finding a commis sioner before whom he could be sworn. The Lord Chief Baron inquired why Mr. Petersdorff was not present to support his rule. Mr. Garth said he was with Sergeant Petersdorff, and the reason of his absence was that it had been understood the ease should stand over. The case was then ordered to be struck out of the peremptory paper. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Chief-Justice Erie and Justices Willis, Byles, and Keating.) IN THE MATTER OF ITILMHT. This case was before the court last term, when a motion was made to strike Mr. Wright, an attorney, off the roll of the court, on the ground that he had been guilty of fraud and misconduct in the management of certain pecuniary matters in which a Miss Thomas was Concerned. The mat ter had been referred to the Mastet, and he was of opinion after hearing the facts, that Mr. Wright should be s t ruc k off the roll, but the matter 'was allowed to stand over till the present time, in order that Mr. Wright might show cause against such a proceeding. Mr. Clark this morning addressed the Court at some length, and at the conclusion of the learned gentleman's remarks, their lordships were of opinion that their duty would be, as the Master had found that an attorney had been guilty of misconduct and fraud, to adopt the usual course and confirm the Master's decision, also that he (Wright) be ordered to pay the costs of Miss Thomas, and that an attachment issue on the non-payment of those costs, but the process to remain in the office for a month. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanclue.) IN RE MITCHELL DE MOWBRAY . -17 N.IITYLESITY LI7E. The bankrupt was described as bate of Jeffery-terrace, Kentish-town, clerk in holy orders,, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts amounted to £1,244, due to tradesmen at Oxford and Grantham, and the property was returned at 19s. Mr. Hurford (Hurford and Taylor) opposed for the assignees; Mr. Sargood supported. The grounds of opposition were that the bankrupt had incurred debts without probable means of payment, and he now came to the Court as "De Mowbray," although his father'd name was Mitchell, and bankrupt was known at the University by the name of Mitchell, whore he incurred a large amount of debts and assumed the aristocratic name of De Mowbray. The bankrupt, in his examination by Mr. Hurford, said that he went to Oxford in 1856, and left in December, 1859. He had an allowance of between £3OO and £4OO a year from his tether. When he left Oxford he owed about £BOO, and went direct to his curacy at Burraby on a stipend of £BO a year, and a reduced allowance from his father. He had paid some of the Oxford debts off. His balance sheet included debts for dog-cart, keep of horses, &c., jewellers, hetelkeepers, and glo'rers, He had kept no account of his. debts, except by putting the bills as they came in into a book. He had no private property, but he was educated from a fund set aside for that purpose under a settlement. By Mr. Sargood—He had paid a great deal of money away whilst at Oxford, and property which 'ne ought to have had had been lost. His Honour alludod to the general features of the case, but did not see ground for withholdi'i g the discharge.— Order accordingly. SHERIFFS' COURT. Before Mr, 'Kerr.) SINGULAR APPLICATION.-- To make the present appli cation intelligible, it may br, necessary to premise that it happens very frequently tJoat though money may be paid into court by a debtor, the creditor does not claim it. At stated intervals lists are posted about the premises of the court-house, with the names of the owners of these "un claimed dividends." Mr. Buchanan to-day applied on ba half of a poor widow. A long time ago her then husband received a judgment in this court for 41 10s. 11d., but front some cause he had not applied to this court for the money. The widow was now in a state of great distress, and he (Mr. Buchanan) earnestly entreated the Court to order the money to be paid to her. His Honour—lt is a very long time ago. Mr. Buchanan—Yes. His Honour—Nearly six years. Mr. Osgood—l doubt if it is on the Vat now. Mr. Buchanan—Oh, yes it is, and there are circum stances in the case which may induce the Court to act in a kindly manner by the poor widow. She is very much in want, and having this knowledge I am certain the Court will not wish to keep her money any longer. After some inquiries as to the name and amount being still upon this list, his Honour said that Mr. Buchanan might take an order. MARKETS --THIS DAY. HAY 'MARKETS.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL WAY.—An adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday at their offices, London-bridge, under the Wharncliffe clauses of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, for the purpose of approving a certain bill now before Parliament. Mr.,. Leo Schuster occupied the chair. The chairman submitted' k the following bills for the consideration of the meet i ng, and moved that such clauses of those bills as rel a t e d t o the cou pany be approved. They were both permissive bills :—" A bill for making a railway from Horsham to Dorking, and for other purposes bill for m a ki ng a railway, tc, be called the East Grinstead, G roombridge, and Tanbri dge Wells Railway, purposes." Mr.Seott (dep•aty - resolution, and it was agreed. to. chairman)seconded and for the other THE HARTLEY COLLIERY CATASTROPHE. ---The report of Mr. Kenyon Blackwell on the late catastrophe at Hartley, in the official investigation of senich, as the repre sentative of the Horne -office, that geut!ieman took part, has been published. The document is on aof considerable im portance, and will doubtless be read with interest, as tend ing to throw additional light on the circumstances of that fearful calamity, and the nature of the legislative measures which should be adopted with a view to the prevention of similar accidents in future. From the date of the entry found on the person of the overman, Amour, Mr. Blackwell concludes that the men in the pit died not later than the afternoon of the day succeeding the fatal occurrence, and the death of the sufferers, he thinks, had been attended with comparatively little pain. The material of the engine beam which occasioned so great a sacrifice of human life is represented as having been of " fair" quality, and the breakage is attributed to the violent concussion to which it was subjected when its progress was arrested by coming in contact with the spring beams beneath, after the counter balancing load in the shaft was partially or wholly lost. The inconvenience and danger of single shafts, both in point of ventilation and as a means of ingress and egress to the miners, are emphatically dwelt upon by Mr, Blackwell, and an earnest desire is expressed that ,uch a system should. henceforth be abolished, the cost of a different and more safe arrangement being in many instances of a very trivial character. Such is a summary of this elaborate report, and it is to be hoped that the present session of Parliament, now fast approaching towards a close, may not pass over with out some action being taken upon so vital and important a subject.—.
