Haywood,tild3lj engineer of the City Commission of Sewen's, and Mr. Isaacs, the surveyor of the Board of Woriui for the Holborn district, met by appointment Mr. Cooper, the engineer of the eastern district of the Metropolitan Board, Mr. Dethick, the contractor, and Messrs. Fry, Girdler, Fernley, Eade, and other officers connected with the board, for the purpose of minutely inspecting the interior of the fractured sewer lying along Victoria-street, from the point of breakage near to the mouth of the Metropolitan Railway tunnel, in coppice-row, to the opening in the roadway for the insertion of the new water course constructed by Mr. Dethick. The enor mous barrel sewer was well lighted through out the whole length subjected to inspec tion, and at its close it was stated that the opinion of the inspecting engineers was to the effect that, generally speaking, the brickwork was in a sound condition, and that in their opinion DO fracture would have token place in it from orai nary traffic, nor would it have given way at all e xcept through some cause not calculated up on when it was constructed. Meantime both the railway workmen under Mr. Cordell, and those of the Metropolitan Board of Works under Mr. Girdler, are pushing forward their several works as fast as possible. The heavy rain-fall of Saturday and the previous days has caused an increased quantity of storm water to fall into the open cutting of the line, but not to any considerable extent. In order to furnish an oppor tunity of deepening the northern end of the grip on the works of the Metropolitan Board, another channel of wooden troughs of great strength and capacity has been constructed to receive the wat er now flowing from the cut sewer above the fractured portion along the grip. The new water-course constructed by Mr. Dethick under Mr. Fernley's superintendence is found to answer perfectly, and ' the dam near the railway cutting has provelly equal to the emergency of shutting out the sewage water from the line, and has thus prevented further interruption to the work of clearing the bottom of mud and debris. 4 ) ; . • Al) . 167,', 4 1 4 .00 • -111111 thlb . • 0 1 14 ps i s L : 4 .17 4 , -1164 . 4 t c is %_ tt - `, 45 ,.. 0 : II < 160" a? - •A. ...... _ • ,„ • ' ~7 ~' C~- ' _,.

The underplot, in which the one of whom is the Marquis Perini's steward, who have managed to absorb the Perini brothers and property between them, try, without success, to n match between their only son and daughter, b ise t xtremely amusing, and not less able is the description of the intrigues of the unprin cipled Guidi.

(Loud cheers.) His Serene Highness PRINCE FREDERICK of Schleswig Holstein proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress." His Loans= then proposed the health of gen tlemen who had been brought together to the metropolis, not only from different parts of this eountry, but from distant places on the continent to do good service as jurors and commissioners in the Great International Exhibition. They were much indebted to the foreign commissioners, to whew, with the jurors, much of the success of that vast undertaking was to be attributed, and he rejoiced to see severed of them among his 'guests. (Cheers.) He should not enumerate them, but brief as he was in proposing their health he des:red to be emphatic in recognising the valuable services they had ren dered, and he had great pleasure in associating with the toast a name of world-wide celebrity, that of M. Chevalier, who :did honour, not only to the great empire to which he belonged, but to the whole of Europe. (Cheers.) M. CHEVALIER, on rising to return thanks, was loudly cheered. Speaking at first in English, he said that although taken by surprise in being called upon to return thanks, he had no hesitation in expressing his gratitude for the welcome which he and his brother commissioners and jurors had received, and which he felt was natural, true, and sincere. (Cheers.) He then begged to be allowed to speak in his native tongue, end . pro-, ceeded at some length to point out the advanl tages which industry and commerce would derive from the holding of international exhibitions. He also alluded to the treaty of commerce which had recently been entered into been England and France, and augured from it the best results for the interests of the two countries. The present Exhibition, he said, afforded most gratifying evi dence of the progress which had been made in France and in England, and in several other coun tries since 1851. Speaking for the French and other foreign jurors, as well as himself, he begged to return his most sincere thanks for the kindness which had been shown towards them in this coun try, and in conclusion, again expressed his belief that the cause of progress and civilisation would be greatly promoted by the friendly competition to which the International Exhibition gave rise.

The writer states in his preface that he makes " no pretence whatever to literary style," but that he has written the work in the belief that his prac tical experience may be of use to his fellow-coun trymen seeking sport i n C as h mere . Th e s t y l e of the work certainly admits of improvement ; and we doubt if to any but sportsmen it will possess much interest. For instance, it cannot concern the dnispuacrh to know that " a man who works es females, would certainly kill t g h e i n r e ty rah o l u apr r u i d a l: r lal i ne n a month, though perhaps he might not kill more than 10 full-grown rams." Nor will they derive any great pleasure from being told by the writer that he and his men amused themselves by " pelting a dee ibex with bits of earth ; she had two young ones with her, so let us pelt for 10 minutes before moving- off." The practical di rections, however, as to colour of dress, mode of stalking game, and management of firearms are likely to be serviceable to those whom they concern ; and military men may find the concluding portion of the work, which discusses the questions of army re form and of English rule in India, worth their at tention.

ESKELL'S INVENTION (Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

Terms strictly moderate.-8, Grosvenor street, Bond-street, London; and 39, Bennett's-hill, Bir mingham. Saturday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, a horrible murder was committed by a Spaniard, named Ramon Capele Villa Roca, at 12, Albert square, High-street, Shadwell. His victim was an Irish girl, with whom he had been cohabiting, named Honora Scannell. The event has created great excitement, more especially as after his detection in the first crime he succeeded in committing suicide. Roca arrived in this country from the Havannah. about six weeks back, and then had 700 dollars in his possession. Soon after he formed an intimacy with Scannell, and had recently become very jea lous of her. On Friday they went to the Exhibi tion, and were afterwards drinking in a public house. On Saturday afternoon, whilst cleaning out her room, she wished him to leave, as he had no money. The landlady of the house also told him to leave. He flew into a furious passion, and. threatened them both with death; and as he armed himself with a pistol and dagger, the girl becoming alarmed, ran o ut, and was has tening down stairs, when Roca attacked her, and stabbed her several times in the back, and she fell to the bottom a corpse. The land lady ran out screaming " Murder!" and on a con stable arriving and demanding admission, the Spaniard opened the door, and presented a pistol at him, which he saw was loaded up to the muzzle. He shut the door upon the police, and rushed up stairs to the deceased girl's room, and immediately afterwards a report of firearms was heard. On. gaining an entrance the police found the body of the girl lying at the foot of the stairs quite dead in a pool of blood, and her murderer on the floor of the room, with his head and face blown to atoms. The pistol bullet had passed through his head, and lodged in the ceiling, and the walls were bespat tered with blood. The bodies were removed in shells to the vaults of Shadwell Church, to await an inquest; and the police have 'taken possession of the premises where the catastrophe took place. Another pistol and dagger were found under the bed in the room, and although no money was found on Roca, there were several brass Exhibition medals in his pockets. Mr. Ross, a surgeon, who was called in, stated his opinion that the wounds in the girl's back had passed through the lungs into the chest, and caused almost instant death. A Less Gaited. By Philip Cressweli. Smith, Elder, and Co. Smith, Disappointed love forms the staple of this tale, which is bide more than a sketch, though skilfully executed, and its aim is to show that such disap pointmeits often turn out to be benefits, though the recipietts at the time are apt to be ungrateful and declini to estimate them at their real value. The victiLS 7 or rather the examples, in this case are a certAin Luke Penrose, a merchant's clerk, who is very much smitten with his pretty but ambitious cousin, Nora Troye; and a young lady named Caro line Middleton who is engaged to a wealthy coun zry squire named Bradal. Dazzled with the pro spect of being surrounded by luxury, the fair Nora despises Luke, to whom she had plighted her troth, and uses all her arts to ensnare the squire. He falls into the trap, neglects his affianced Caro line, and ultimately elopes with Nora. But the marriage is not a happy one. Nora soon regards her husband with something worse than indifference. He follows suit, and they soon separate. whilst Luke and Caroline get over their respective disappoint ments, and turn them to good account by marrying and living happy ever after. r ieff a nd has MIDWIFERY. —Private Medical Advice in Pregnancy, Obstructions, Sterility, and Disappoint ment of Marriage, by HENRY SCOTT, F.R.A.S., Accoucheur of 26 years' London practice.

THE COTTON SUPPLY.

M. Jozeau has succeeded in render ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different London hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's. and St. Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clark.—(Lancet, Nov. 6, 1857). The Copahine, which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days. 100 Capsules, 4s. 6d.; post free, ss. 2d.—At G.

To say that negotiations have been opened, but have not yet reached the point which warrant the publication of the correspondence, is to create doubts and ap prehensions for which, as the honourable official must be perfectly cognisant, there are no grounds whatever. When Mr. Thornton went up to As sumption for the purpose of making a thorough inquiry, which he did, in the best spirit, and with the best results, he received accounts from British residents which satisfied him that the Paraguayan Government had much right on its side in the case of the alleged British subject, Can.

The Corporation of London having, at its meeting on Thursday last, given its sanction to Mr. Cubitt's plan for the construction of the bridge over the Thames at Black friars, the sum of £5,000 was, in accordance with the terms of the Act of Parliament, deposited by the above company with the corporation on Friday, and Messrs. Peto and Betts, the contractors for the railway bridge, will immedi ately commence its construction. Notwithstanding the extensive preparations already made by the contractors during the long delay that has occurred it is supposed that it will require 20 months to complete the bridge for traffic. BEDFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. This line was opened throughout on Friday by the direc tors and their friends. The total length of the line is 29t miles, its route from Bedford to Cambridge is via Sandy and Potton. By the completion of this line a direct rail way from Oxford to Cambridge has been established. The expensive and circuitous conveyance of east and west traffic via the metropolis will be avoided, and the distance by railway between Cambridge and Oxford will thus be short ened by about 49 miles. The London and North-Western R a ilway Company are to work the railway as a through line, and by means of a working arrangement a mini mum dividend of 41. per cent, is secured to the share- I holders. HOLBEACH AND SUTTON BRIDGE. The extension of the Spalding and Holbeach Railway to Sutton Bridge, which has been a long time on hand, has at last been opened for traffic. The traffic is worked by the Great Northern Railway Company. From Sutton the gap which at p resen t ex i s t s Bridge the line is to be carried on with as little delay as Lynn, and when the communication between N or f o lk an d possible us ffi to ied L p Lincolnshire will be made much more direct. The length of line now in operation between Spalding and Sutton Bridge is 16 miles, and the extension remaining to bo com pleted to Lynn is eight miles in length, making together 24 miles. ._ .r-- GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's line for the week ending June 14 amounted, for local passengers, to 15,387 dols.; for foreign passengers, to 3,338 dols, ; for emigrants, to 3,159 dols. ; for mails, &c., to 2,838 dols. ; for local freight and live stock, to 23,604 dols. ; for timber and lum ber, to 7,917 dols. ; for firewood, to 1,321 dols, ; and for foreign freight and live stock, to 8,809 dols.; total, 66,372 dols (£13,638), against 67,246 dols. (L 13,818) for the cor responding week of 1861, showing a decrease of 874 dols. (£180). The total traffic receipt s f rom Jan. Ito the above date amounted' to 1,720,753 dole. (L 353,579), and for the corresponding period of last year to 1,553,697 dols. (4319,263), showing as 'aerobe of 167,056 dole, (41,326), It is impossible not to admit the cleverness of this tale, however much we may be struck with the improbability of some of the incidents. Indeed the whole course of events is out of the ordinary pale of experience, belonging rather to the region of imagination than of reality, and allowance must be made for this in the perusal. The narrator is the youngest of three sisters, living, when the tale commences, with their father at their ancestral seat of Lovel-Leigh in all ease and content. "The house casts a broad shadow on the lake, the battle ments round the roof being reflected back on its bosom, as if cut by some hand in adamantine stone. Three stories high, and roofed up with so sharp a pitch that three tiers of windows lighted the dome, it had a most imposing appearance, yet was more beautiful than grand. Beautiful in its old English quaintness, its grey stone, its cheerful open casements, the clustering roses, myrtles, and magnolias that climbed in rich luxuriance even to • the upper windows. It was beautiful in its air of home, its quiet grace, the exquisite verdure, with the sunshine of gladness over everything." Here, • owing to a sort of constitutional shyness, they saw scarcely any company, the only frequent visitor being a certain Ferdinand Home, whom Mr. Lovel, having saved from drowning, adopts, after a fashion, and through whom happen all the mis fortunes it is the purport of the book to narrate. This individual is, it seems, marvellously handsome but extremely superficial and intensely selfish; though Mr. Lovel, .a quiet student, with but little knowledge of the world, labours under the delusion that he is little short of perfection. At the com mencement of their acquaintance he had met with Mrs. Lovel before her marriage, and been smitten with her, still her rejection of him made no differ ence to their intimacy, and through his means sbe came by her death ; a shock received through fall ing into the lake in consequence of his clumsy management of a boat having caused her confine ment to terminate fatally, and the child, the youngest daughter, was in consequence born dumb. The children growing up, the second daughter, Famela, falls in love with this individual, who is about her father's age, and he, ascertaining that the sisters will be co-heiresses, professes to return it, and the marriage is decided on. But as Mr. Lovers health is breaking, he wishes to have his will drawn up at the same time with the marriage contract, and requests "Ferdy," as Mr. Home is termed, to ' recommend him a lawyer; and accordingly a friend of his, a Mr. Rivers, is summoned from town for the • purpose. But no sooner does the lawyer' see the eldest daughter, Mabel, than he determines to win her :or his wife, and notwithstanding her positive refusal and that of her father, he persists in proferring his un welcome attentions. It now appears that "Ferdy" is considerably in debt, though he is unable to state the precise amount, but the lawyer, on being ap plied to, puts the sum at about £14,000, and Mr. Lovel sends him a blank cheque, signed, desiring him to pay " Ferdy's" debts, so that before his marriage he mi,y be perfectly free from encum brance. But a further delay occurs, the debts are not paid, the lawyer refuses to return the cheque, and suddenly claims the whole estate of Lovel-Leigh, though he offers to accept the hand of Mabel in stead. He is again refused, Mr. Lovel makes an other will leaving Mabel sole heiress, and, over come by anxiety at the state of his affairs, dies. Rivers now takes legal proceedings to get the estate into his hands, and the marriage between Pamela and Ferdy is definitely broken off, although she makes him a present of her share of her mother's fortune, which had been divided between the two youngpr sisters, and which amounts to £7,000. Determined now to husband their resources, and ccntest the matter to the uttermost, the three sisters dismiss the servants, sell off the superfluous furniture, shut up the house, and take situations—the eldest becoming governess to an idiot boy, the second companion to an old blind maiden lady named Woodville, Ferdy's aunt, and the youngest assistant to a milliner. Mean while the trial comes on, when it appears that Ferdy and Mr. Rivers are half-brothers, that the former is indebted to the latter in the sum of £47,000, and, moreover, that he is already married, his wife and daughter being alive. Under these circumstances, the jury, without leaving the court, unanimously give a verdict for the defendant. The ladies of Lovel-Leigh are reinstated in their home. The eldest marries a distinguished General, and the second a rising literary man, whilst the third, though disappointed in her affections, regains her speech to a limited extent in consequence of a pecu liar nervous shock, and derives consolation from wit nessing the happiness of her sisters and from the cultivation of her taste. The novel contains great variety of incident, it is very ingeniously constructed, and will doubtless enhance the reputation of the writer. Marietta. A Novel. By T. Adolphus Trollope 2 Vols. Chapman and Hall. He who would truly depict the life of a foreign people, must not only sympathise with their habits and traditions, but also be perfectly familiar with their idioms and literature. He must, in fact, for get for the time his own nationality, and become as it were a denizen of the State in which his scene is laid. His work will otherwise present only an external aspect, and be little better than a caricature. With this defect, however, Mr. Trollope's novel is by no means chargeable. A more admirable delineation of Italian life, as found in Tuscany, it would be impossible to desire. Indeed, so excellent is it that perhaps none can fully appreciate the truth of the details unless they have lived in Florence, where the action takes place. The time chosen is the beginning of the present century, and Marietta, the heroine, is a descendant of one of those old Floren tine familes which, through indolence and extrava gance, have allowed their patrimonial estates to slip through their fingers. Her father, the Count Lunardi, had been forced to alienate the last and most precious relic of the family property, the Lunardi Palace, and it is her effort to regain this and to put the family in some degree upon a footing of its former prosperity that the plot is based. Dominated by one idea, that of restoring the for tunes of her house, she rejects the love of young Guido Guidi, to whom she was attached. becomes housekeeper to her uncle, an ecclesiastic, and manages all his affairs. After twenty years' strict economy and judicious investment of the savings she succeeds in accumulating the, for Tuscany, by no means contemptible sum of 35,000 scudi (about £7,000), with which she purposes buying back the palace and reinstating therein her nephew, the young Count Sebastian. But to this scheme various obstacles arise. Thus, on the one hand, the palace has been mortgaged by its purchaser, the Marquis Perini, to a rich money-lender named Pauli, who intends that it shall form part of the dowry of his only daughter Laura ; and on the other, Guido Guidi (who, disappointed in his love for Marietta had entered the Church, but still continues on good terms with her), determines to get the money she has saved into his own hands and use it to advance his ecclesiastical preferment, and as he is equally subtle and unscrupulous there seems every proba bility of his plot succeeding. But it so happens that Sebastian has lost his heart, much to the dis approval of his aunt, who desires that he should wed one lik e himself, of noble blood, to Palli's daugh ter Laura ; and she, to the disgust of her papa,who has no wish to bestow her hand and fortune on one whom he thinks a penniless noble,returns his affec tion. Thing s are in this state when Marietta sud denly discovers that Guidi is playing her false, and that the only chance of the Lunardi Palace return ing to the family is by the marriage of Sebastian and Laura ; she accordingly overcomes her scruples This new tale, by the inexhaustible M. Aimard, depicts the struggle of the Mexicans to throw off the yoke of Spain, and the translator claims for it the merit of being " a real historical sketch of events which have been generally over looked by European authors, but, at the same time, are as interesting to peruse as the deeds of an Andrew Hofer." In this struggle, however, the heroine, if we may so term the lady who is styled "The Queen of the Savannah," bears no share ; the objects of her hatred being the In dians, one of whom had attempted to destroy her child. At length, however, she falls, together with her daughter, into their hands, and much of the in : terest of the tale lies in the effort made by the lover of the latter for their rescue.

The following letter on American finance calls attention to a point which may become of import ance in case the Washington Government should be led into a belief that it is in the power of a military despotism to control even the course of the precious metals. At the same time, although the reasoning of the writer is in the main sound, he is evidently a partisan of the, South, and his estimates, there fore, may require to be received with some allow ance : " London, July 4. " Sir,—Attention has been drawn to a branch o. Northern finance which hes not been dilated upon by any of the political economists—viz., the very large American commercial indebtedness to Europe, at all times floating, and e3timated at 200,000,000 dols., as will presently be iaown. This stupendous amount has been entirely hidden from view by the ramifications of trade ; but should the Washington Government be insane enosgh to prohibit the ex portation of specie, it will scon be exhibited. Every thing America sells to Europe she receives the cash for at once, the 60 days' sight bills of exchange being merely an accommodation to the foreign (European) factor, while everything that America buys from Europe is on a credit of four months. Assuming that these purchases are of the value of of 20,000,000 dols, per month, this credit would give her 80,000,000 dole, worth of property, which amount is increased by a system of accommodation bills and other means of finance adopted by the European agencies of New York firms to the extent of 40,000,000 dole., making 120,000,000 dols. In addition to this the American bankers have their accounts overdrawn at all times on their correspon - dents in Europe to the extent of current transac actions, say 80,000,000 dole., thus augmenting the figures to the estimate of ! 400 ,000,000 dole. The draughts of these bankers being at 60 days' sight, they remit other 60 d ays ' ( pro d uce ) bills or gold in time to retire them at maturity, and so the machi nery o f fi nance is kept going from month to month. It will, therefore, be better policy for the Federal States to pay o ut their last doll ar t h an t o stop th e legitimate outflow of gold, and thereby preserve their credit of 200,000,000 dole ; but with the cessa tion of the shipments of Specie all commerce between them and other countries will be at an end. It is quite natural that so large an amount of European Capital should have been used in America, the rate of interest there averaging so much higher than here. The Southern States have no commercial indebtedness to E urope ; their money _ matters have always been arranged through Wall street. The productions of the South have been the great source of wealth to the North, the latter having acted as banker, commission merchant, and broker to the former. The earnings from the Southern business have been invested in a charac ter of securities the value of which have been based upon that very trade, and with its decline a large depreciation must be expected. The Northerners had an exceptional advantage since July, 1860, in the shipments of breadstuffs, th e excess of which in amount over their custornar— .), exports will average, including the net Ocean 6,000,000 doll. per mont h, or freights, about 138,000,000 doll. this advantage is not lost to them, their crops o f wheat and maize will be sma ll in consequence of t he late spring, and so many hands taken from agri cultural pursuits into the military service. Nor have the prices that have ruled within the period named been sufficiently remunerative to be tempt ing to the producer to cultivate largely, the sea board quotations being eaten up in a great meaoure On Saturday evening his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt was present as the guest of the Lord Mayor at a grand banquet in the Egyptian Hall at the Mansion-house, which was elaborately and taste fully decorated for the occasion, baskets of flowers being suspended from the ceiling in the open spaces between the columns. The company invited to meet the Pacha was numerous and brilliant, including members both of the present and of the preceding government, a large number of distinguished fo reigners, many of the leading merchants and bankers of the City, and almost as many ladies as gentlemen. A guard of honour from the London Rifle Brigade, under the command of Major Rose, was on duty at the entrance and in the vestibule, and when his Highness arrived received him with arms presented, while at the same time the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress advanced to bid him welcome. The company present included his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, his Serene Highness Prince Fre derick of Schleswig-Holstein, his Highness Mus tapha Pacha, Eari and Countess of Leven and Mel ville, Lord and Lady John Manners, Viscount and Viscountess Doneraile, Lord and Lady Colville of Culross, Lord Colchester, Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P., Viscount Pevensey, M.P., Sir G. C. and Lady Lewis; M. Rouher, French Minister of Interior; Mr. Mil ner and Mrs. Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, Sir John Pakington, M.P., Right Hon. W. and Mrs. Cowper, &c. After the names of the guests had been an nounced with heraldic solemnity by Mr. Harker, the toastmaster, the " loving cup" commenced its circuit, and his Highness the Viceroy took part in this ancient ceremony, with a cordiality which drew forth cheers from all parts of the room. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of, The LORD MAYOR said—l have now to offer a toast which cannot fail to meet with a hearty recep tion. I am about to propose " The Health of his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt." (Loud cheers.) Our illustrious guest is well entitled to an emphatic expression of our unqualified admiration of the unceasing efforts so successfully made by him for the development of the resources, and for the general advancement, of that ancient and most interesting country over which his royal highness bears sway. (Cheers.) Those efforts have not only resulted in benefits to his own country and to his own people, but have contributed largely to international com munication and to commercial intercourse between the different countries -of Europe and the eastern hemisphere. I greatly rejoice in the good fortune which enables me, surrounded as I am by many of my distinguished countrymen in this Mansion-house of the old corporation of London, in the centre of the great metropolis of the widely expended British empire, to demonstrate to his royal highness the estimation in which his name and character are generally held by the British people ; and the great sense they entertain of the generous aid he rendered to us in the critical hour of our need. (Cheers.) Let us hope that the Great Disposer of Events may long continue to preserve a life so valuable, that the energies he has hitherto employed for the good of maukind may for a long period suffer no deteriora tion, and that the general cause of civilisation and commercial intercourse may still enjoy the advan tages of that enlightened career which has been the glory of his royal highness to pursue. (Loud cheers.) The toast having been enthusiastically drunk, His Highness the VICEROY, in acknowledging the compliment, spoke in French to the following effect—l beg to thank your lordships and this dis tinguished company for the manner in which my health has been given and received. lam sure that these expressions are more than I really deserve, but they are an encouragement to me to deserve them hereafter. (Cheers.) Since I came to this country I have had cause to be grateful for the hospitality and kindness which I have received from all classes of the English people, and especially from the great personage who is its chief. Before I sit down allow me to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor." The health of his lordship, as proposed by his highness, was drunk with great cordiality. The LORD MAYOR said it was a proud thing for the City of London to have the honour, through its Lord Mayor, of entertaining the Viceroy of Egypt under the roof of the Mansion-house, and it was particularly fortunate for him (the Lord Mayor) that it had fallen to his lot to entertain his high ness and the distinguished company by which he was surrounded. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave the toast of " The House of Lords," which was acknowledged by Vis count Doneraile. His LORDSHIP next gave " The House of Com mons,"associating with it the name of Mr. Disraeli. Mr. DISRAELI (who on rising was loudly and universally cheered) said :—My Lord Mayor,—On the part of the House of Commons I beg to acknow ledge the honour you have done them by proposing their health upon this occasion. This is not by any means the first time that I have performed this gratifying duty ; and I am well aware, from the kindness with which this toast is always proposed from the municipal chair, and from the cordiality with which it is always received by this company, that this is not, and that it never will be, an idle ceremony. (Cheers.) Nor is this in any way wonderful, when we remember the value and the duration of the relations which subsist between the municipality of this 'city and the House of Com mons. Those relations are of no modern date ; they have been consecrated by age and by sharp expe rience; they form an important element in the his tory of this country; and they will long, I trust, continue to be cherished and respected by every class in the community. It is with peculiar plea sure and with peculiar pride that, on the part of the House of Commons, I this day acknowledge the compliment which you have paid us; and I am happy to inform your illustrious guest that nowhere is his government viewed with more inte rest than in the House of Commons—(cheers) —and w ealth of nati o ns. ph iatst b 1 e att ended boMa r y d that it is with admiring satisfaction that they have seen that under his rule the energies of his country have been developed, the elements o f its prosP e _ ri e t r Y e have been increased, and on many occasions. there have been exhibited the happy result; temperate administration.

I look upon this circ u m s t ance as one of those h a PPY impromptus whi c h are the cha racteristics one of those graceful t a o s r ti ents of our social apropos i o c f h our ar eni thean manners, In former h ap piness.days, when Egyptian halls were visited and investigated with the energy of a Belzoni or the genius of a Bunsen, treasures were dis covered which have astonished and perplexed Europe —but I think I may say, my Lord Mayor, that when your illustrious guest quits this room to-night he will bear from this Egyptian hall treasures, which even Egypt will not despise—treasures not less valuable than those discovered by a Belzoni or a Bunsen, for he will carry away from this hall the syrapa statt ; and there was then no real obstacle to the restoration of our relations with that Government to their former friendly basis ; and, happily, such restoration is virtually fait accompli. With regard to the question put to Mr. Layard by Mr. Liddell, relative to compensation claimed by British sabjects for losses, it may be observed that a claim has been made for compensation for the loss of a small vessel, the steamer Little Polly, run down, through the merest casualty, by the Paraguyan war steamer Tacuari, and that it has been recognised by the Government of President Lopez as a matter for mercantile arbitrament on the ordinary basis, and is in course of amicable and satisfactory settle ment in the usual way, without the least refer ence to political considerations. There is really nothing to prevent the negotiations from being brought at once to a conclusion, and the commercial world, interested in that part of South America, reassured. This is the more desirable on account of the cotton growing capabilities of the whole region of the Rio Plata, and on which Mr. Consul Hutchinson has made no official report as yet, but his opinion on which is believed to be very encou raging, particularly as regards the islands of the Parana, and other affluents of the Plate, thousands of leagues of most suitable soil being available for the purpose, in a climate than which there is none healthier in the world. Some cotton samples of excellent quality from the Upper Parana were for warded to Manchester eight or nine years ago, and it was the opinion of Mr. W. Drabble, who visited most of the countries watered by the Rio Plata and its tributaries for the purpose of obtaining information on the subject, that these latitudes opened a promising field for the production of this essential staple ; an opinion to which double strength has been given by the inspection of some of the ordinary wild cotton shown in the Monte Videan Court of the International Exhibi tion. In the present state of the cotton supply, and in view of the little probability that exists of a speedy adjustment of the internecine quarrel in America, it is most important that amicable relations should be maintained with all countries sucapable of contributing in any degree to th e large PP lies of cotton which are required for the employment of a f nd the labour and capital of S outh Lancashire. Cheshire ; and Mr. Maguir e deserves credit or calling attention to the subjec t in the judimoua way he has done, more especially when pok ermembered that the views he expressed on a occasion, in referent® to the conduct of Paraguayan autho rities, have been confirmed by the facts as admitted by the British at___!!______------horities.—Ltverpool Albion. — sort ED IN YORK.—Last week a A FAMILY whole family i n , York narrowly . . escaped death from poison, refra ined from publishing the particulars in our but we order t h a t premature stateme n t s m i ght not inter fleacret,:ti, the investigation which had been commenced into the circumstances of this mysterious affair. On Tuesday wee k Mr. Cooke, astronomical instrument maker, &c., Dishophill, with his wife, his three sons—Frederick, Thomas, and Alfred --his daughter, and Mrs. Barbo, a visitor, sat down to dinner as usual, and shortly after they were all taken seriously ill, being attacked with severe sickness and vomiting. During dinner some parsley sauce had been used, and it was conjectured that " fool's pars ley," a deadly poison, might have got into the sauce by mistake for the proper kind. This supposition, however, proved groundless, and the cause of the illness of the family remained shrouded in mystery. Mr. Reed and Mr. Proc tor, surgeons, were called in, and from the symptoms which their patients manifested, it was clear they had been poisoned. By the prompt administration of the usual remedies, the effects of the poison were counteracted, and on the following day the family were nearly restored to health. After dinner on Thursday the scene of Tuesday was repeated, the family being again attacked as before, as well as the cook. The greatest alarm was felt, and the medical men were again sent for. It being suspected that the salt kept in the house was mixed with some deleterious substance, Mr. Procter subjected it to analysis, and he found that about 30 per cent. was arsenic. Similar poison was discovered in some flour, but how the admixture took place is a complete mystery. The circumstances were re ported to the police, and a searching inquiry has been and in order, if possible, to 90 1; is still being made by them) the arsenic was mixed with the far tan by what means and flour, and where the poison had been obtained. o reason as the inquirY has proceeded, we believe there i'' ta F_ y it mixed for believing that the arsenic had been aceiden aware of w ith the flour and salt, but as Mr. Cook© isn ot of an y ill -feeling existing against him on the part anyone in his establishment, no suspicion i s attached to anyone.— , fork Ito add. At the Ashton-under-Lyne special county sessions, on Friday, Michael Burke and John Ward were charged with the wilful murder of Wm. Jump. Mr. King appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. W. P. Roberts, of Manchester, for the prisoners. Mr. Ludlam, superintendent of the Lancashire county constabulary stationed at Wilshaw, near Ashton, after stating the charge, said it was un necessary for him to go into the facts of the case.
