LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1862. Let us give all their due. Now that we under stand the whole affair of the e x • L . puteion o f BANKS from Virginia, which for many hours three Wash ington into a state of panic, no dishonour seems to attach to any party---the whole blame lies, if blame ies,"anywhere, with the War.office and the Com mander•in-Chief, that is the PRESIDENT, and even him it may not be easy to censure. The retreating Federals, according to independent accounts, fought bravely, and retreated ably, in the face of very superior forces, forces which could actually turn their flank and intercept their communications— and which would have compelled them, but for their bravery, to lay down their arms. Whatever fault there is arises from the wide dispersion of the Federal forces. They occupy now, with their small armies, so many points on the coast and some in the interior, that the main armies opposed to the Confederates are bat just sufficient to face the enemy. M'CLELLAN'S army at Richmond is be lieved to be certainly not more numerous than the defending Confederate army, probably it is inferior in number; the PRESIDENT and Mr. STANTON, therefore, determined to strengthen M.DowELL, who lay at Fredericksburg, on a railway leading him straight to M'CLELLAN, and thus enable him to join the latter before Richmond. Hence the reduction of BANKS'S force in the valley of the Shenandoah ; a reduction which, with its conse- quences, the event alone will justify or condemn. If Richmond falls, the Valley of the Shenandoah cannot long be held; and, so far as we can yet tell, the PRESIDENT'S arrangements may have been good generalship at the cost of a present local ditbadvan tage. BANKS has, however, been so considerably reinforced, that JACKSON and EWELL have fallen back again. But one thing is plain, that, with every week, the peril of the crisis to the North increases. We find the Federals, driven from their sea and river ports, improving this misfortune by concentrating their forces. Those from New Orleans, we observe, arriving at Corinth—those driven from Norfolk swell the Confederate army at Richmond ; hence it is that both in the West and in the East the Con federates now hold the Federals at bay. The vast army of the Federals—which the returns show to have been a hundred thousand less than was thought —is so scattered about in so many small fragments that the main armies are, neither of them, suffi ciently large to insure a decisive victory. From all we can see, we believe that it is perfectly uncertain, were a battle to come off either at Corinth or Richmond, on which side the victory would probably be. At Corinth HALLECK openly confesses that he must proceed by regular means against the Federal camp, and that he is not in a position to risk anything. M'CLELLAN, we know, is proceeding with the utmost caution at Richmond. We need not, therefore, be surprised if we should hear any day of a serious Federal reverse, though a Federal success, at Richmond, especially, may be somewhat the more likely. That the 30 days, and 90 days of Lord RUS SELL must now be placed with the predictions of ZADKIEL is evident from many reason?. The PRESIDENT himself seems to think so. He has accepted large fresh levies, which cannot be decently fit for service before the autumn. They will but bring the army up to the force authorised by Congress, but he had not long ago represented himself as obliged to refuse volunteers, because he had more men than he wanted—yet, Congress is now busy with a bill to enable the PRESIDENT to levy 200,000 more men than ever ! It is diffi cult to estimate with precision the results of the piecemeal legislation on the army, but it would seem that Mr. LINCOLN, having between five and six hundred thousand men, thinks he shall want 800,000 before the year is out ! The present mili tary strength of the Confederates points to a weary prolongation of the war; and, perhaps more than this, the indomitable spirit of all classes in the South. On the Mississippi, at Norfolk and Sal. folk, and in Richmond, one spirit seems to pervade all ; in BANKS' retreat through Winchester and Martinsburg,the very ladies—the Northern accounts tell us—fired pistols at the retreating Federals, and the people loudly proclaimed their anti-Unionist feeling. In such a state of things, not even great Federal victories at Corinth and Richmond could end the war. During the hot summer the South would re-organise its defence. It will be observed of course as eminently judicious, that the order of amelioration projected by this Congress (as we may lite rally call them) of Cosmopolitan Philanthropists, begins with the "physical" and so rises through the " inteliectual " to the "moral" condition of the working elasses and of the poor (we will here again add) of all classes. Having expatiated —as few could well do more feelingly than Lord SHAF TESBURY (because of the scope both in time and space of his own personal observations upon the subject) upon the necessity for improving the domiciliary condition of the great mass of mankind, the President subsequently, in his inaugural address, touched upon themes as various and as vital in their way, as—Female Employment—Early Marriages —Emigration—Loan Funds—Public Nurseries— Ragged Schools—Shoeblack Brigades—the Men dicity Society—Baths and Wash-houses —Common Lodging-houses and Foundling Hospitals. "Fatal institutions," Lord SHAFTESBURY called these last. Speaking of them thus, however, we cannot but think rather too harshly and precipitately. Nay, we cannot but feel convinced that, upon reflection, the noble Earl himself would be somewhat disposed to modify his views upon the subject, if his lordship will only take into account, for a few moments, the bearing of one of the very last Parliamentary papers moved for by the late lamented Member for the borough of Finsbury. A frightful revelation, in truth, was contained in that paper—allusion being here made to the return moved for a session or two back by Mr.T. DUNCOMBE, giving the number of infanticides brought to light before coroners' juries during the two or three pre vious years within the metropolis and its imme diate neighbourhood. Philanthropists, thinking and practical philanthropists, have argued, in regard to those appalling revelations, and certainly with some show of truth upon the very surface of. their reasoning, that we should most assuredly hear less of these execrable crimes of in. fanticide if the bell and turn-table of the French Foundling Hospital were only adopted amongst ns. Certainly, there is this to be said, that in proportion to the population of the two countries, there are not more numerous illegitimate births in France than in England-: while there certainly are, beyond any doubt of it, so far as statistics can enable us to judge, far more numerous cases of infanticide in this country than among our neigh bours. It may occur, therefore, even to Lord SHAFTESBURY—in remembrance of these facts " GOD helps those who help themselves" is a wise old axiom. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY wouldepply the same principle to the regulation of the distribu tion of human benevolence. It is a suggestion in every way judicious. It fell from the lips of the noble philanthropist quite incidentally, but it is peculiarly worthy —now that it has been enunciated Lord BROUGHAM gave us, in his inaugural address —of particular consideration and lasting remem- the other day, a rather sunny view of the progress brance.

Congress at Exeter Hall by the noble and learned President of the whole Association, Lord BROUGHAM—the Earl of SAFTESBURY nevertheless continued very gracefully to offer his tribute also to the many tributes of affection and gratitude placed by loving and reverential hands upon the tomb of his late Roy al Highness the PRINCE CON SORT. Having delivered his heart of which utter ance of loyal sympathy with the QUEEN in her affliction, the noble Earl took occasion to offer in the name of his fellow-subjects collectively the earnest greeting of a cordial welcome to all the various foreigners flocking day by day in increas ing numbers to our shores—the few to the Social Science Congress—the many to the Great Inter national Exhibition. It was after these preliminary observations of Lord SHAFTESBURY'S that the noble President of the Association of the Promoters of International Benevolence addressed to his hearers the impressive words already quoted. They are words the force of which and the appositeness of which as here uttered by Lord SHAFTESBURY, the general reader will now more fully appreciate. They are especially suitable for the inauguration of a Congress having for its object the amelioration of the physical, intellectual, and moral condition of the working classes and of the poor—(as the noble Earl the President now humanely suggests, and therefore, as we presume, we may now expressly add in so many words)—the poor of all classes indiscriminately. The truth thus uttered by Lord SHAFTESBURY upon the inaugration of the Congres International de Bienfaisance " is like good seed dropped in the right soil and this too in the right season. We may rest assured that it will there duly germinate and fructify. And the fruit which good seed of this kind is destined to bear, is of a kind that is always secure enough of rendering itself apparent. GLADSTONE would be delighted could they induce our House of Commons to do anything like this. Mr. WALPOLE'S amendment was nothing compared with it. Can we fancy Lord PALMERSTON holding office after being asked to adjust taxation, not according to the iron navy which France was building, but in accordance with the discomfort of tax-payers and pressure on small incomes ? There was another amendment which we do not so definitely appre ciate here, but we easily see that it is in favour of local self-government as distinguished from bureau cracy and centralisation. It requested the " founda tion to be laid of an independent administration of communes and districts." This could only mean, we shall manage our own affairs better than the nominees of Berlin officials can manage them for us —an opinion in which England will certainly coincide. THE LATE VOLUNTEER COURT-MARTIAL AT LIVERPOOL.—The officers' court-martial lately held at Liverpool relative to the conduct of Captain Maxwell, of the sth Liverpool Rifle Volunteers, having found the con duct of that officer to be "highly irregular and subversive of discipline," the Lord-Lieutenant of the county (the Earl of Sefton) has demanded his resignation. BAPTISM OF ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE CHILDREN.—At the afternoon service in Christ Church, St. George's East, on Whit Sunday, 189 children were baptised, 78 of them under two years of age, 76 between two and seven years, 32 between seven and 14, and three over 14 years. It has been ascertained by a careful house to-house visitation recently made, that in 36 streets of this district, containing a population of 11,170, 582 children were unbaptised. Notwithstanding the large number pre sent on Sunday, there remain nearly 400 not yet admitted to the solemn rite. SHOCKING SUICIDE AT BIRMINGHAM.—A man named Thomas Bullock, gun barrel rifler, residing in New Canal-street, committed suicide on Saturday afternoon, under the following circumstances. It appeared that the deceased, who had ill-treated his wife and turned her out of doors, was living with another woman, and his wife having become chargeable to the parish, he was summoned before the magistrates on Tuesday for deserting his wife and family. At the hearing the deceased promised amendment, and the case was dismissed, he promising to take his wife home. On going home the following day deceased again dross° her from the house, and she again went to the workhouse. The same night the deceased, hearing that she had again gone to the parish, worked himself into a violent passion, and said, with an oath, that he would buy a revolver and " do for four," meaning himself, his wife, his paramour, and one of his wife's relatives. On Friday morning Bullock, in company with another man, bought a revolver, but how he spent the remainder of the day or the following night is not known, Ott Saturday he called on his wife's nephew, and asked him to drive him to the workhouse, as he was going to fetch his wife home. After waiting some time, during which deceased appeared greatly excited, his wife came to him, and they sat on a bench some time in conver sation. He then Jumped up violent]) , threw his hat on the ground, and presented a pistol at his nephew. The latter made an attempt to push the weapon aside, when deceased put the muzzle of the weapon in his own mouth and fired. He fell to the ground, and the surgeon to the workhouse was instantly on the spot, but life was extinct. The Vicroy of Egypt, as far as connubial ties are admissible to the followers of the Crescent, has not in dulged in the license allowed to so exalted a personage. It appears that he is not blest with more than two wives. From the youngest was born his only son, Toussoon Pasha. The fair lady was only an inmate of the harem, when, the birth of an infant occurring, she was elevated to her present high position. Acccording to present appearances, it will be long before fate will call the young prince to the throne. There exists now ihree descendants of the great Mehemet Ali, who, by right of primogeniture will be called upon to wield the sceptre before this youth—namely Ismael Pasha, and Mustapha Pasha, sons of Ibrahim Pasha, and Halim Pasha, son of Mehemet Ali. THE REPEAL OF THE INDIAN IMPORT DUTIES.-- On Saturday ever ing, an outdoor demonstration was held at Blackburn, to memorialise the Government for the immediate repeal of the remaining duties of five per cent. on cotton goods, and three and a half per cent. on cotton yarns imported into British India. Mr. Elijah Holt was elected to preside.—Mr. Richard Hodgson, of Darwen, moved the first resolution : " That this meeting being mainly dependent on the cotton trade, which by the un happy events of the past twelve months has be n so utterly convulsed as to deprive about 20,000 operatives of the district of the means of living, and seriously diminished the prosperity and prospects of all, and having no desire to embarrass her Majesty's Government in any way, solicits the alleviation of their present load of suffering long and patiently endured, by the removal of the remaining duties of five per cent, on cotton goods, and three and a half per I cent. on cotton yarns, imported into British India."—Mr. Jacob Waring, of Burnley, seconded the resolution, which was carried. Other resolutions of similar import were also carried, and it was decided that a memorial be presented to Lord Palmerston and Sir Charles Wood, by a deputation of East Lancashire operatives, at the earliest opportunity. BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Sunday, a melancholy accident occurred to the crew of a boat, named the Pilot, on the river Mersey, between Runcorn and Warrington. It appears that thirteen men, all from 'Warrington, set out on a pleasure excursion, but more especially for the purpose of trying a new sail, with which the boat had been fitted in preparation for a forthcoming regatta, and on rounding a bend in the river, not far from Runcorn Gap, the boat was caught by a sudden gust of wind, and capsized. Four of the men were drowned. Their names are Richard Fair hurst, assistant to the inspector of weights and measures, Warrington ; Thomas Clarke, of the Dallam Ironworks, Warrington ; George Smith, wire drawer, in the employ of Messrs. Rylands Brothers, Warrington; and Ralph Hill, a private watchman. The remainder of the crew reached the shore. Two of them are still in a precarious condition. Of the men that were crowned, two or more hale left wives and large families The bodies of Hill and Smith have been recovered.—Manchester Guardian. JUSTICE TO IRELAND, one of the facts that will render 1862 remarkable in the Great Beer Battle now just initiated in Brompton. For the first time since the days of Dr. Johnson a rival to London Porter has made its appear ance in the field. It assumes the guise of an Irish Labourer. Cork has the credit of demanding Justice to Ireland for its Stout. The innovating refreshment is dis pensed from the International Bazaar, where it is sup plied on a monopoly rpecial for the purpose by Messrs. Beamish and Crawford, the Barclay and Perkins' of Cork, at a price to compete with our staple metropoli•an bevers ages. The workmen at the Annexes and those connected with the Engineering and Building departments have found this out, and great is the commotion among those " men of taste" on the newly mooted question of the various brewings of London, Burton, and Cork. The excitement has already assumed the signs of an Election Contest, with this important difference, however, that in this instance the elector votes for his candidate by paying for him. A return of the number of quarts drawn on either side would be an interesting document. How THE DUKE OF CHANDOS GOT A WIFE.— Riding along the road, he saw a drunken groom of a neigh ing nobleman unmercifully beating his wife, who was quite a young creature, and whose situation and appear ante much interested the duke. The man was not disposed to acquiesce in the remonstrance made against his cruelty, so nothing remained but for the duke to buy the man's wife from him, which accordingly he did. He was a little puzzled to know what to do with his purchase, but in the meanwhile sent her to an excellent school, where she turned out a very apt scholar. In a short time the hus band died of drink, from the money he had received for his wife. The Duchess of Chandos, his second duchess, also soon died. The duke married his purchase, who became an exemplary character, as his third wife and duchess. Ramsay' s Handel. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Petitions have been presented for consideration of the c mmittee clpiming special protection, from the London, Chatham, and Dover and Charing-cross Railway Companies. The first men tioned company set forth that a provision was inserted in their Metropolitan Extensions Act to the effect that it was desirable that their bridge at Blackfriars should not inter fere with the embankment of the Thames, and that they might construct and carry it on a level not higher than 3711 above Trinity high•water mark on receiving a notice to that effect from the Board of Trade, but no such notice had been received, and considerable expenditure bad been in curred by the company in preliminary proceedings. The works intended to be constructed by the Thames Embank ment will, they allege, interfere with the construction of their railway and bridge in a manner beyond their parlia mentary powers, and not be compatible with those portions of the line already constructed, will entail on them in creased expenditure, and involve an entire change in their plans and arrangements. The Charing-cross Railway Com pany state that they are the owners of all the property known as Hungerford-market, including the Suspension bridge, and have agreed to pay £55,000 to the market and £85,000 to the bridge company for their right and interest, together with the wharfage dues, piers, and tolls ; that the embankment will interfere with their central station at Charing-cross, and with the revenue to be derived from the _ -- tolls and dues, by the establishment in connection with the embankment of competing piers and landing places. Objec tion is also taken by the London, Chatham, and Dover- Company to the powers sought for, to the compulsory pur chase of lands required for their own undertaking. GROUSE DISEASE.—This old offender has now resumed his depredations on the moors of Glenavon and _ _ ____ _-- -- - ----•--- -- elsewhere to a co ns id era bl e extent.-- Since the beginning of this month the grouie are to be seen strewed along the sides of the rivulets. --Aberdeen Herald. THE LATE LORD PEMBROKE.—The great sale of the late Lord Pealtroke's horses, &c., is fixed to take place in Paris on the 17th inst., and the pictures, &c., are to be sold iZA the following week. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—During the week ending June 7, the visitors have been as follows : On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free days, open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 12,882; on Wednesday, Thurs 4 ay, and Friday, students' day (admission to the public 6d), open from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m., 6,315 ; conversazione, Friday evening, 2,086 ; total, 21,283. From the opening of the Museum, 2,760,364. MANCHESTER AND MILFORD RATLWAY.—A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices of the company, No. 5, Cannon-row,Westmin ster, to take into consideration the following bill now pend ing before Parliament A bill for authorising the Llanidloes and Newton Railway Company to make and maintain a line of railway for the joint use of the Mid- Wales Railway Company and the Manchester and Milford Railway Company, and a station at Llanidtoes for the joint use of the three companies, and to raise further moneys, and for other purposes." Mr. Hawes occupied the chair, and moved that the meeting approve of the said bill. The motion was agreed to unanimously. THE EUROPEAN GRAIN CROP.—The New York Sun says :—" It is of importance to our farmers to know that there is likely to be an immense call for their aid abroad. The German papers indicate that the production of cereals on the Continent is likely to fall far below the actual necessities of its vast population. The tremendous floods which lately devastated some of the finest grain growing regions of Germany and the Netherlands have di minished the possibilities of successful culture there, while in other directions the unusually inclement weather has done equal damage. In England, heavy rains continued throughout March far into Aim il, and the fields are still so saturated that, although the vegetation is of fine appearance, it promises more bay and straw than grain. As late as April 14th white frost in the morning was followed by in tense heat at noon. In France the prospect is better, but by no means satisfactory. In the North rain is too abun dant ; in the South the rapid succession of heat and cold has killed much of the whole sowing. Accounts from Italy, through Austrian channels, are nearly as bad, and even in Algeria, whence Europe has within a few years drawn copious supplies, the sirocco has laid waste the grain fields. America, then, will be more entitled during the coming year than ever to be called the granary of the world." The course of the wine trade during the first part of the present year has not been such as to realize the hopes entertained in official quarters of the gradual increase of consumption under the reduced duties,and a proportionately steady augmentation of the revenue. In 1861 the quantity of all kinds taken into use in the United Kingdom exhi bited an increase of 46 per cent., but in the first four months of 1862 there has been a reaction of 23 per cent. from the totals thus attained. This falling off has been chiefly felt in rod wines, the diminution in that case having been 30 per cent., while in white it has been only 20 per cent. Meanwhile, the importation has been within 5 per cent. of the total during the corresponding four months of last year, and there has consequently been some accumulation of stocks in bond. Next to the wines from British possessions (the Cape, Icc.), which figure for a reduction of 50 pet cent. from the consumption of the first four months of 1861, the countries in the use of whose wines there has been there has been the greatest proportionate decrease this year are France and Portugal, both of which show a reduction of 30 per cent. In wines from Madeira the falling off of con sumption has been 27 per cent., from Slain 25 per cent., the Canaries 20 per cent., Naples and Sicily 17 per cent., and Holland 12 per cent. Hungary does not appear indi vidually as a contributor, but is classed under the head of " other countries," and in that case the reduction has been 15 per cent. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BnomrToN.--On Sundsy morning last the Bishop of Ripon preached at St. Michael's, Stockwe.l, on behalf of the above charity, from 2 Cor. vii. 1. At the close of a thoroughly practical and f,rcible discourse bear ing upon the text, the bishop said the call which he was about to make upon the benevolence of his hearers was one which echoed from tens of thousands of their stricken fellow-creatures, suffering from a malady of fearful preva lence in this cllimite, which was computed to slay in this country, year by year, upwards' of 39,000 persons, viz., pulmonary consumption, than which a disease more insidi ous, more lingering, and more baffling to medical skill scarcely existed. Hence the great need of a special Hospi tal for Consumption. This hospital was wholly dependent on voluntary contributions, and funds are greatly needed, for the annual expenses were upwards of £B,OOO a year, whilst the annual subscriptions were only about £4,000. The church was crowded, and the collection after the ser mon amounted to £47 7s. 9d. BRIGANDAGE IN THE ROMAN STATES.—Near Velletri, a week ago, a priest living in a country house was surprised by a band of marauders, who insisted on having 3,000 scudi (1630) for his ransom. His reverence repre sented the paucity of his means and offered 200 scudi, but 'on the brigands scouting this prosecution, he stated that perhaps his sister, the owner of a cheese shop in Velletri, would advance another 100 scudi to save his life. An am biguous message was accordingly sent to the ham and cheese lady, who, smelling a rat, communicated with the French colonel in command at Velletri. The colonel pressed into his service the Papal gendarmes of the town and sent them forward, the French troop. following. The 300 scudi were duly delivered, but before the brigands had time to divide the spoil, the Papal gendarmes driven on by the French troops, pounced upon them and captured them to the num ber of 25.—Letter from Rome. ROBSON AND REDPATH.—To show the suit ability of the timber of West Australia for decorative pur poses, a cabinet is shown of verious coloured woods, which was made by the convicts. Western Australia is now the only one of our colonies which is a penal settlement, and it may interest some persons to know that Robson was one of the convicts who assisted in the construction of this cabinet. The dramatic predilections of this convict are, we are in formed, still indulged, and since his arrival in the colony he has written two plays, which have had the honour of being performed, in one instance at least, before the Governor. Mr. Redpath's literary tastes take another direction, and he has been for some time past engaged in drawing up a code of regulations for himself and brother convicts. The cabinet is really a very creditable piece of workmanship.— Australian and New Zealand Gazette. WHAT WILL MONEY NOT Do ?—Tha late Sir Robert Peel spoke in the House of Commons in the year 1836 to the following effect : —" When I was Chief Secre tary of Ireland, a murder was committed between Carrick on .Suir and Clonmel. A Mr. had a deadly revenge towards a Mr. —, and he employed four men at two guineas each to murder him. There was a road on each side of the river Suir, from Carrick to Clonmel, and placing two men on each road, the escape of his victim was impos sible. He was therefore foully murdered, and the country was so shocked by this heinous crime that the Uovernment offered a reward of £5OO for the discovery of each of the murderers. And can it be believed," said Sir Robert Peel, "that the miscreant who bribed the f ul murderers was the very man who came and gave the information which led to their execution ? And again," exclaimed Sir Robert, " with these hands I paid, in my office in Dublin Castle, I the sum of £2,000 to that monster in human shape."— ' _Kerry Star. IRVING AND LORD MELBOURNE.—The congre gation at Regent-square, under Irving's inspiration, had decided upon presenting a petition to the King, calling upon him to appoint a national fast. Accompanied by three of his elders, he went to Lard elbourne by appointment to present his singular address. While they waited in the ante-room the Premier's leisure, Jrving called upon his somewhat amazed and embarrassed companions to knee] and pray for "favour in the sight of the King's Minister," as a private letter d , ..seribes it. When they were admitted to the jaunty presence of the cheerful functionary, the preacher read over to him at length the remarkable docu- ment he came to present ; during the reading of which, we are tuld, " Lord Melbourne was much impressed ; and also by some solemn things Mr. Mackenzie (one of the elders) said, on the only means of saving this country.' When they took leave, the Minister shook hands heartily with Irving, who, holding that hand in his gigantic grasp, "im plored the blessing and guidance of God on his administra tion." A scene more remarkable could scarcely be.--Mrs. Oliphant's Life of Irving. THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.—We picketed our animals to trees and scrambled up the wall, which near the pass is in a very dilapidated condition. The sight was at once picturesque and amazing, for as far as the range of vision extended this wonderful structure was seen stretch- ing along the mountain sides and tops, with little towers, at intervals varying between two and three hundred yards, breaking the otherwise monotony of the view. Fora short distance either side of the pass, the wall is constructed of brick with rubble in the centre, but further away it is com posed almost wholly of stone—in fact, whatever materials were closest at hand would appear to have been made use of ; thus, as at the spots we visited, granite abounded in greatest profusion, so in the construction of the wall was it made the principal ingredient, and for miles the wall consists of large, shapeless masses of granite smoothed only on the outside. We observed but one tower built entirely of stone, they being, with this exception, composed of brick, with founda tions of hewn stone. The height of the wall from the top of the parapet is about seventeen feet ten inches at most parts, though occasionally, where the parapet is highest, it measures eighteen feet six inches ; its breadth is thirteen feet, and the height of the parapet five feet four inches. The towers are thirty-ono feet three inches high, and twenty-eight feet one inch broad. The parapet is both crenelated and loop holed, and the towers are pierced for the discharge of some projectile. From any elevated site the scenery well repays one for the trouble of ascent ; clear streams are seen meandering down the passes, whilst on every side, and looming far in the distance, are a succession of brown hill-tops, with small patches only under cultiva tion. Droves of pack-asses are seen going and returning, the former unladen, and the latter fringing a small kind of brushwood, %bich the borderers burn instead of the millet. stalk in use on the plains, whilst in wild abundance are scattered innumerable ash, poplar, and fir trees. The pro ceedings of our artist were productive of infinite astonish ment and delight in the Chinese mind, and it was with extreme difficulty that, hemmed in on all sides, Nve suc ceeded in transferring to paper views of surrounding ob jeCto,—Once a Weeks LATEST NEWS. THE GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP. We have received the following from the Great Ship Company : QUEENSTO WN, TUESDAY MORNING. The Great Eastern passed this harbour, steering east, at 10 30 a.m. WEST AFRICAN MAILS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 10. The royal mail steamship Armenian, Capt. Wild, with the above mails, arrived here early this morn ing. Her dates are—Benin, April 24 ; Fernando Po, May 3; Cameroons, May 1 ; Old Calabar, May 2; Brass River, May 4; New Calabar, May 7 ; Bonny, May 7; Lagos, May 11 ; Accra, May 12; Cape Coast Castle, May 14; Cape Palmas, May 16; Sierra Leone, May 31 ; and Madeira, June 2. The Armenian brings 2,9810 z. gold dust, 30,780 francs, 91 doubloons, 400 dollars, and 244 soya. Trade was dull at Benin in consequence of a dis- turbance among the natives. The rains were setting in, and trade was inactive at Fernando Po. Sickness was very prevalent al Bonny and New Calabar. Out of a population of 140 whites 75 had died of yellow fever. The agents of Messrs. Horsfall and Tyson and Richmond are both dead. Trade was suspended at Old Calabar. AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING. The paddlewheel steam sloop Alecto, 5, Com mander Henry J.

PARIS, JUNE 10. The Noniteur of to-day publishes a decree pro- roguing the Corps Legislatif until the 27th June. TURIN, JUNE 10. In the Chapber of Deputies yesterday several bills were intrcduced relating to the granting of credits on landed property, to the laws on anony mous societies, and to the consolidation of the monetary system. The urgency of the discussion of these measures was admitted by the Chamber, PARIS, JUNE 9. The Paris evening journals announce that it has been decided to send reinforcements to Mesieo, but that they will not set out until October. The Presse of this evening states that the general elections will take place during the first fortnight in October. The report on the imposition of sur-taxes and new taxes, made by M. Segres in the name of the Committee appointed to examine this question, hes been read to-day. The Committee propose the rejection by the Corps Legislatif of the additional tax on salt and the adoption of that on sugars, which will come into operation after the lst of July next. The Committee also propose the rejection of the proposed taxes on invoices and receipts, and of the proposal to augment the fixed registry dues. They recommend the passing of the proposed increase in the Stamp Tax, to vary according to the size of the paper. The Committee also recommend the temporary re establishment of a tax of a second decline for the registry, which would produce about 27,000,000 f., and would allow of the balancing of the revenue and expenditure. The Committee agree with the Council of State, that the taxes on horses and carriages should only be levied in communes containing more than 1,200 inhabitants. Finally, the Committee reject the amendment of M. Granier de Caesagnac to the effect that a tax should be levied on incomes proceeding from capital in money or renter. ROME, JUNE 8. The fete celebrating the canonization of the Japanese martyrs has been solemnised with perfect order. The ceremony lasted six hours, and was attended by 44 Cardinals and 243 Bishops, as well as by the Diplomatic Col ps. The Basilica of the Vatican was magnificently decorated, and lighted by 10,000 wax tapers. The Marquis de Lavalette contributed 3,000 f towards the solemnity. CASSEL, JUNE 9. The formation of a new Ministry progresses slowly under the pressure exerted upon the Elector. A hope appears to exist ht present of a combination conformable to the wishes of the people. Nothing certain is yet known. The published lists of names are entirely unauthorised. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, JUNE 9. Yesterday the principal members of the Prussian, Bavarian, Hessian, Baden, Wurtemburg, Nassau, Thuringen, Mecklenburg, and Frankfort Diets held a meeting here to deliberate on the early convoca tion of an Assembly of former and actual repre sentatives, for the discussion of the leading German political questions. This assembly ( Vorparlernent) does not wish to decide upon a political programme, but only to give the snot d'ordre to the different Diets. Austrian Deputies are also to be invited. A committee of four members, two of whom are Austrians, has been elected by the Assembly to carry out these resolutions. FRANCE.

WOODIN'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES.—Mr. W. S. Woodin, by his admirable impersowations of character, continues to draw fashionable assem blages. We have already pointed out the many excellent features of this entertainment, which should be seen by all who wish two hours' thorough amusement. His imitation of Mr. Sothern's Lord Dundreary, so often pronounced " inimitable," is triumphant contradiction of the critics' assertion. M. THALB ERG'S CONCERT.—The first of a series of matinee concerts by M. Thalberg, the eminent pianist, was given yesterday at the Hanover square Rooms, and attr cted not only a crowded and bril liant audience, but also a large number of the most celebrated professors of music in the metropolis, who were desirous of hearing some exquisite mor ceaux extcuted on the pianoforte by the most emi nent artist on that instrument of the present day. MR. AND MRS. CHARLES MATHEWC—These dis tinguished comedians continue their successful " At Home" at her Majesty's Theatre to fashionable and appreciative audiences. The new entertain ment, "My Wife and I," is a genuine success. We have so recently noticed its merits, that a mere re ference and a reminder that our country cousins should not omit a visit to the Mathewses, is all that is necessary at this festive season. CREMORNE.—Cremorne is a place so well known, and so highly appreciated by the public generally, that we need not add to our recent notice further than to say that it was fully patronised yesterday, - - upon occasion of the first of the grand galas and fetes to be given during this month. The International Hall, capable of accommodating upwards of 7,000 peopio, is a feature in itself. The gardens were brilliantly illuminated, and the multitudinous visitors seemed to fully enjoy them- selves. THE LADY GODIVA PROCESSION.—It is now decided that this legendary pageant will be revived at Coventry on the 23d inst. According to the Binntnyhans Post, the procession will be upwards of a mile in length, and comprise about 300 men, 70 children, and 150 horses. The chief character represented—Lady Godiva—will be borne by a beautiful female, gracefully and becomingly at tired, who will ride, as of yore, one cream-coloured charger, and be surrounded by a bevy of little and prettily-dressed and mounted damsels, Among other attractive and inte resting features of the pageant, there will be 14 city guards, aid in suits of old iron armour, being part of the antiqui ties in the possession of the corporation ; a largs gaily decorated car, emblematic of the Seasons ; Leofric (the husband of Godiva)—Edward the Black Prince—Richard ll.—Henry IV.—Henry VI, and his Queen—Queen Elizabeth—a SLepherd and Shepherdess in bower—Wil liam and Adam Bottmer (former citizens of Coventry, and who built the tallest of the " three tall spires") —Sir Wm. Dugdale (the famous antiquarian, and authof of the " His tory of WarwiAshire), &c. The procession wili include tea brass bands, and there will be an almost infinite variety of flags, banners, and other decorative appointments. Seve ral of the leading railway companies have arranged to run special excursion trains to Coventry on the occasion, and it is anticipated the influx of visitors will be large.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN NAPLES.-A church in connection with the English establishment is about to be erected in Naples. One of the acts of Garibaldi,. when Dictator in Naples, in 1860, was to present to the. British residents a valuable piece of ground, most conve niently situated, in the best part of the city, as the site for an Anglican Protestant church—a circumstance which de rives all the more interest from the fact that under the late Government English Protestants were forbidden to worship except in a room, and that room in the Consul's residence.. The British community at Naples are attempting to raise a. sum of at least £5,000, which will include church, schools, teacher's house, and parsonage. The church is to cost £4,000, and to contain 600 sittings. About £1,500 has been contributed in Naples and £BOO in England. Tho British Government, by the terms of the Consular Act, is empowered to meet whatever sum is collected upon the spot by an equivalent grant. Among the subscribers to the fund are the Duke of Buccleuch, toe Chancellor of the Exche quer, Sir J. Hudson, Sir G. Osborn, the Bishops of Lon don, Rochester, and Gibraltar, Mr. Evans, M.P., Lord Overstone, Mr. M. T. Smith, M.P., the Earl of Selkirk, Sir Culling Eardley, Lady Strachan, and M. de Salza. The Rev. Pelham Maitland, M.A., of Magdalen College, Cambridge, late vicar of St. James's Wolverhampton, will be the ofkiating minister of the new church, Yesterday being Whit-Monday, was made a pretty general holiday in London, and all the plaues of amusement were well patronised. Continuous streams of people poured from an early hour in the morning towards Scuth Kensington—some attracted by the Exhibition, and some by the Museum. Greenwich-park, wheie formerly there was a fair at Whitsuntide, was well attended, and the usual amusements carried on. THE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—The well known attractions of this national exhibition drew thousands of persons to visit it, and they were much pleased with what was exhibited to them. Al though the weather was not the most propitious that could be wished, the attendance at the Museum was very great—exceeding 14,000 persons—and the usual satisfaction appeared to be felt by the visitors at what they had witnessed. BRITISH MUSEUM.—The number of visitors was 12,527. They chiefly belonged to the working classes, and their conduct was highly satisfactory. THE NATIONAL GALLERY was well attended dur ing the day, the number of visitors being about 12,000. ADELPIII THEATRE.—A farce, entitled " The Shilling Day," by Messrs. W. Brough and A. Halli day, was produced here last night; and when we announce that Tools and Paul Bedford were the heroes of the piece, we need not say it was as suc cessful as continued laughter could make it. CANTERBURY HALL.—This famous music-hall and picture-gallery came in for its fall share of patronage amongst the numerous counter-attrac tions now abounding in the metropolis. Much time was spent in the Fine Arts Gallery, and musical tastes were consulted in operatic selections and vari ous sentimental and comic ditties. Amongst the latter we must give prominence to the celebrated stump speech of Mr. U❑swortb, in his " Or Any Other Man," and to Mr. Eugene's burlesque dancing. The miraculous Steckel continues unapproached in his feats of daring on the flying trapeze. OXFORD MUSIC HALL..-.—This hall was crowded last night by a holiday audience, who appeared richly to enjoy the varied treat prepared for them. The attractions included a cantata, an operatic se lection, a greq variety of sentimental and comic singing (including in the latter category the famous performances of the Rumsey and Newcombs, and of Messrs. Unsworth and Eugene). "Or Any Other Man" bore away the palm in the eccentric lists. The "miraculous" Steckel also made his first ap pearance before a West-end audience, and won im mense applause by his fearless performances on the flying trapeze. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Whit Monday is usually a great day. The grounds are in the most beautiful condition. At four o'clock M. Blondin made an ascent on the high rope, the fountains playing at the same time, the unusually large number of fo reigners regarding his perilous feats with the greatest astonishment. M, Blondin will again make ascents this day and to-morrow at 4 o'clock, the other holiday amusements, including a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell, a❑d a great cadet review. The number of visitors was as follows :—Admis sions on payment, 34,833 ; ditto by season tickets, 2,046; total visitors, 36,879. MR. AND MRS GERMAN REED.-Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, with Mr. John Parry, attracted a full audience by their new entertainment, " The Family Legend," and Mr. John Parry's musical narrative of " Colleen Bawn." The merits of this entertainment are too well known to need more comment than that of pronouncing it first-class, and assuring our readers that whenever they pay a visit to the Gallery of Illustration they will not only receive their money's worth, but be delighted with the talent and versatility of Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, and the comics-musical gifts of John. Parry.
