LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1862. • The Americans—the Federals, perhapa, we should rather say, are an unaccountable people. The last accounts all assure us that the Tax Bill they have just passed, and which comes into operation on the Ist of August, will, in regard, 'to foreign trade, be infinitely worse than the M OUILL Tariff. Eng land had the larger trade with America, and will therefore feel the effect of the en h anced protective duties most, but we are, told th at the duties on French produce also are such as to be almost, in practice, prohibitory. With the g re ater part of d French articles, as being articles of taat e a nd luxury, people can disrdnse; and the duties now lev ie them will, it, is an:icipated, destroy the Fr on nch trade almost entirely, while the native Americana have not the genius and skill to produce such thing% for themselves. The produce of our manufactories, on the other hand, is of a kind no civilised mortals can do without; iron, cu*,,lery, pottery, all kinds of dry goods, Americans must have. They cannot make them so cheap and so good as we can ; they must therefore punish themselves by using dear and bad articles of thfir own manufacture, it being in their power to 'obtain a fair revenue by moderate duties upon our superior manufactures. But what are, we to say for a people so boastful of their r2dueation and intelligence, if they can not only Vass such tariffi , , but exult in them. Not, in deed , that quite all share the exultation. The mer chants and bankers, the men who earn their wealth, in the legitimate process of conducting the trade with foreign countries, have posted off to Washing ton with n remonstrance in their pockets, to which, however, no one expects any attention will be paid. The Senat e and the populace seem to be about equally enlightened, which is not to be much wondered at, con s id ering the mo4e of election and both are B inte lli gent as to b e li eve th a t a hi g h tariff means foreigner s payir,g the costs of the American civil war. Pay for it we do, indeed, and that as Liverpool and Havre call testify, to a fearful extent. But, unfortunately for the Americans, our losses from want or cotton are 1 ,0 gain t o the m- It seem s , however, almost incredible that the Great Itep,,blie whieli has so long boasted of its universal education and cheap newspapers, should be as deplorably ignorant of the first principles of free trade as if they were not of the same generation as Sir ROBERT PEEL and RICHARD COBDEN. We excuse a nation whose chief intellectual aliment is penny and half penny newspapers, for knowing little or nothing of ADAM SMITH and his successors in plain English, but we might have supposed that their daily papers would by this time have brought them up to the current public knowledge of the day. Yet it is a fact that there is not one, we believe, of the old monarchies of Europe on which the Americans look with such supreme con tempt, which does not show itself more enlightened, commercially, than they' are. Turkey itself could teach them a lesson, and Austria give them a twelvemonth's schooling, greatly to their advantage. For ourselves, we need not, we trust, trouble ourselves much about their tariff. The last cut us off half our trade with them ; and if the other half follow, we are sorry for it, but we must look elsewhere. India and China must be opened more thoroughly. We do not despair at all of our merchants finding out fresh markets in which to exchange their commodities with those of other countries. English merchants are not Government routinists ; their enterprise soon seeks out new channels when old ones are choked up. India must sooner or later become our chief source of cotton supply, and she will take goods back in proportion to our purchases ; and it is evident that China will become a good market, since, notwithstanding the Taeping disturbances, our trade is largely developing itself there. What is as deplorable as anything is the temper in which all this is done. The American public really seems less concerned for 4 , native manufac tures," commercially blundering as the notion is, than to spite England. What appears to give them most pleasure is, the thought of cramping British trade, as if that did not mean cramping their own. They seem to quite forget that even if they can raise the same revenue on a million's worth of British goods at a high duty, as on five millions'worth at a low one, that they themselves must lose the use and enjoyment of the excluded four millions' worth. They must, however, calculate very surely on our extraordinary forbearance and patience. Hitherto England alone has saved them from the recognition of the South by France, soon to be followed by all European powers. If we held up a finger of en couragement the EMPEROR would gladly acknow ledge the South as a de facto Government ; so that to please the North, we have almost given France occasion to think we are willing to displease her; and that too at a time when France is opening her ports to us, and America closing them Already we are told that the Western States of America, those which sell us our corn, and need our cheap and good productions in exchange, are kicking at some parts of the Tax Bill ; their displeasure once awakened, they may resent equally the Tariff part. What has California to gain by excluding English and French articles of commerce, and how will Illinois like her corn carried to England, by ships arriving in ballast, and purchasing corn at prices which will pay for freight both ways. We hope there fore that very shortly the resentment of England, France, and their own corn-growing States will bring the Gentlemen at 'Washington to their senses. If they do not regain them it will really become a serious question whether we and France should not recognise the South at once, and break the Cotton Blockade at Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile. During the Russian War we remember per fectly well beginning an article in these columns of The Sun with these words—" The King of SAR DINIA is earning Lombardy." Events proved not long afterwards that he really had then earned it. Season at first followed season, and the posi tion of things in Italy remained unaltered. The loyal participation of the little kingdom of Sardinia in the Crimean enterprise undertaken by the two great Powers of Western Europe, of the eastern hemisphere, of the world, appeared almost to be for gotten. Suddenly—all Europe was startled by the detonation of a succession of hand-grenades in the Rue Lepelletier. The diabolical attempt at assas sination by that " grand gentleman" (as the Kentish-town servant-of-all-work described him to be at any rate in appearance) ORSINI came abruptly (to the proposed victim of that assassination) as a reminder of the forlorn condition of Italy and of the Italians ! And of the imminent advisability there was of reward ing the good services done in the interests of the Balance of Power in Europe (through the medium of the Crimean campaign) by VICTOR EMMANUEL. The political emancipation of Italy was known years before to have been the daydream of the pre sent ruler of France from the period almost of his earliest boyhood. While he was yet a younger brother, consequently before he bad succeeded to the headship of the BONAPARTE Family, Louis NAPOLEON had been in arms—side by side with his elder brother NAPOLEON Louis—in vindication of that cherished cause of Italian Liberation ! It was at the period of the accession to power in Central Italy of Pope GREGORY XVI. that this occurred. Prince NAPOLEON LOUIS died soon after wards —very prematurely. Prince Louis NAPOLEON succeeded to the dynastic possessions and to the Italian policy (hardly less to that, indeed, than to the French) policy of his elder brother, then de ceased. A lengthened exile from the land of his birth, an imprisonment of six years' duration in the fortress of Ham, only served to confirm the future Ruler of France and the eventual Liberator of Lombardy (for that latter title is not one jot less NAroveoN lll.'s, by right, than the former)—re flection, time, experience, observation, all served only to confirm him in his early resolve As the event proved—though the years fled past,during which no thing was done in behalf of Italy or the Italians—the 1 reigning Emperor of FRANCE only bided his time, only waited for his opportunity. But for the goad Of ORSINI'S attempt, NAPOLEON 111. might have waited longer. Whatever may have been the sting of th e i nvective, at the very least, that all but success ful attempt at that the di e was c down befor e h ave _ . assassination a pp eare d to h ave pre cipitated matte rs, For it was very soon aft erwar d s flung ast, that th e gage o f b att l e was EMPEROR mi ght Austria : an d th e F rench , the a pro founder emotion 'ald, not only a li a jacta in eat, but also, and with words liberavi animam me an ,. AB th e actua l re sult, before very m any weeks bad el apsed, the long -0 was at any rate partially N cherished Italianpolicy of Louts NAPOLE realized. The As. str . utus w ere That fair and T he fertile province was as last liberated. T at length driven out o f Lombar dy. e V con querorto VICTOR EIkIMANTIEL. SARDINIA had earned Lombardy, The King of - handed it over bodily If the date of those events marked a period o f partial satisfaction, it marked also, none the le ss distinctly, a n epoc h o f i mmen se disappointment. So very brief a whil e b e f ore, t h e campaig.e. of Magenta had been completed by the crowning victory of Solferino, the latter h a d su dd en l y l e d by a n anti climax to the treaty of Vill a f ranca ! The hopes that had been so resplendently kindled by the proclamation from Milan, were immediately afterwards dashed to the dust and abruptly extinguished. Italy, which w as to have been free from the Alps to the Adriatic —Italy * which was to have been left entirely to the Italians—found herself doomed still to discover the work of her emancipation only partially accomplished—to see, :as indeed she still sees, the German soldiers garrisoning the formidable fortifica tions of the Quadrilateral, and the Kaiser disporting himself at intervals among his despised Italian lieges, in the amphibious fairy capital of his Italian province of Venetia. From the completion of the lamentable compro mise inaugurated by the imperial interview sud denly improvised upon one memorable morning at Villafranca—if Italy has not been left entirely to the Italians, the Italians have been left entirely to themselves. The diplomacy of her Statesmen, the swords of her Soldiers, have alternately untied or severed some, at least of the many Gordian knots which trammelled her limbs. As NAPOLEON, at the head of an immense army, had liberated Lombardy and handed it over to the King of SAR DNIfeIwdA e — v o G t e A d i t f n o A l l L o D w i e , r si lib i e s r a t t u e r d n h a e t t w h h e h l e e ad o f King dom of the Two Sicilies from the power, or rather, we ought to say more correctly, from the weaknes s , of the BOURBONS, and handed it over in like manner into the possession of VICTOR EMMANUEL. The ball rolled on, and increased as it rolled. Province after province, principality after princi pality became agglomerated together. The King of SARDINIA became the King of ITALY. There he is still that King of ITALY—but the Kingdom of Italy yet remains incomrlete. Biding his time, as we have seen his Imperial Ally had done before him, King VICTOR EMMANUEL is nevertheless all this while strengthening his position among the powers that be — strengthening it, that is, beyond the fron tiers of his own dominions. He is doing this in many ways. By multiplying dynastic ties wherever he can find the opportunity. By extending more and more widely his diplomatic relations. In the per son of his Imperial Highness the Prince NAPO LEON, he has found one son-in-law close beside the throne of France. He is just finding another son in-law in the youthful monarch now seated upon the throne of Portugal. The two fair young daughters of the King of ITALY the Princess CLOTILDA and the Princess PIA (the latter, strange it is to remember it just now ! a goddaughter, as the Prince Imperial of France is also the godson, of Pope Pius IX.)—these two fair young Italian Princesses, daughters of King VICTOR EMMANUEL, are securing, so far as they may, the influence of their father's position among the powers of Europe, and are so far forwarding the great work GARIBALDI has so long cherished in his heroic heart. Meanwhile the interests of the popu lar cause in Italy are being forwarded by the recog nition of the Kingdom of Italy, by one after another of the European Sovereigns. England and France led the way in this direction. Russia is now following at length tardily, but also, we can not still but fear very suspiciously, in the same track The Government of the CZAR, it being understood, as we have but so recently had occasion to remark, holding out conditions for that recognition : but con ditions, too, that would pledge the Government at Turin to hold its hands in regard to Venetia. If but these ignoble and inadmissible conditions can be swept asid e adroitly and resolutely by RATAZzi—. there is the recognition of the kingdom of Italy in its ir:cegrity by the Russian Government'! Close upon the completion of which diplomatic event, will fol low that of a similar announcement on the part of the Prussian Government. Lord P ALMERSTON indeed last evening in the House of Commons intimated the latter event as aetually upon the cards and as very imminent. At which assurance the House cheered. Slowly it may be, but surely, the hands of the RING are gaining more strength in their hold upon the reins of Government. And what is more—slowly and surely also Austria, with Vene tia under her iron heel, is becoming more forlorn and isolated. Upon the motion of Sir J. HAY, the House of Commons at length decided last evening that "it is inexpedient that judgment should be any longer delayed on the amount of prize money due to her MAJESTY'S land and sea forces employed in the capture of Kertch and Yenikale, on the 24th of May, 1854, as it is calculated," said the resolution, " to injure the confidence of the soldiers, seamen, and marines in the good faith of her MAJESTY'S Government in matters of prize." A rather sharp rap over the knuckles, that for, whoever is mainly responsible for the delay ! It is a reprimand that has unhappily been but too well deserved. Yet it is but right—and consolatory even in one sense—to add that it has all arisen more from a vexatious mistake than from any very culpable neg - ligence. How indignant the House showed itself, however, on account of the mistake may be best appreciated by noticing the almost unparalleled cir cumstance of its nearly refusing to listen to Lord PALMERSTON when he rose at last, at the end of a stormy little discussion, to utter a very few words of final explanation. It has not often if, in truth, it has ever befcre now happened, as it, nevertheless, did happen last night, that there had to be jotted down from permanent record in the pages of Hansard, an incident, such as the following, upon the rising, in the Hruse of Commons, of him who is facile princeps among living English Statemen ! The Reporter's pencil writing—" Lord PALMERSTON rose amid loud cries of ' Oh,' Spoke,' and ' Divide, divide,' which for some minutes prevented him from addressing the House. When the interrup tion had subsided, he.said—' Upon the understand ing that the object of this motion is that the ques tion should be refeared to a competent court of law I have no objection to it.' (Renewed cries of 'Oh, oh !' `Divide, divide !' and followed by repeated shouts of sarcastic cheering from the crowded Opposition benches)," The Opposition benches, observe ! So that party feeling had a good deal of course to do with this singular demonstration. Apart from that, however, there were reasons enow of another kind altogether, why the House should at length be right glad to do something practical towards sweeping aside a monstrous act of injustice to a set of gallant fellows, who have all along deserved better treat ment than they hive yet received in this matter at I the hands of the Government. PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday.—Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain G. H. Seymour, passed through Spithead at 5.30 p.m. from Osborne, for Antwerp, with their Royal Highnesses the Prince Louis and Princess Alice of Hesse, and suite, on board. The Fairy, screw yacht, Master Commander 'Welch, with, it is presumed, her Majesty on board, accompanied the Victoria and Albert out as far as the Noman Shoal, to the eastward of the Spithead anchorage, the Channel fleet lying at Spithead firing a royal salute cll the yachts passing by. Off the Noman the Fairy hove to and exchanged a parting signal with the Victoria and Albert, the royal yachts then separating in their course, the Victoria and Albert proceeding on her voyage to Antwerp, and the Fairy returning to Osborne.

A report is current that General Serrano will be appointed successor to M. Mon, whose resigna nation is said to have been accepted. BELGRADE, JULY 8. A Turkish war vessel has ascended the Danube, bound for Belgrade. The Servian Government has protested against this act, as a violation of the rights of the Princi palities. public is being directed at present towards Katty war by a series of vigorous leading articles now appearing in the Bombay Gazette, exposing a poli tical state of affairs in that important province highly discreditable to any rule, nfortiori, to the British. On the part of the British political agent, there seems to be an entire neglect of the real in terests of the province; while he is busying him self about the pettiest details of family affairs. He has become, in fact, the real King, Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor, Chief Justice, Commander-in- Chief, and head policeman of the whole province. If this power were exercised for the real good of the province we should not inveigh against the posses sor of it, by whatever aggression and encroachment it may have been won. But when we find, for in stance, that in this crisis of the cotton trade no thing or next to nothing is being done all over Kattywar, one of the most extensive cotton fields in India, for the extension of its growth—nothing in the way of making roads through districts abound ing with materials for road making, so that to carry small quantities of produce at great expense over 20 miles or so in the course of 24 hours is now really a great work—nothing to divert and utilise the con tents of innumerable water courses, now about by the bounty of heaven to be filled to overflowing, as they annually are, with that which could so easily be made to convert what are now vast arid and unprofitable tracts into rich fields pro ducing fruits which would be both soon reaped and long enduring—nothing, nothing like that, while, on the other hand, we find the political agent busying himself about the pettiest de tails of family affairs, carrying his interference, we had almost said his impudence, so far as to in flict fines which may be levied by force on Sove reign Princes who take a different view of the way in which their own affairs ought to be conducted from that which the political agent is led to form, it is a spectacle not pleasant to behold ; it is a state of affairs not honourable to our Government or country—a state of affairs which ought not to continue. COMMERCIAL, BOMBAY, JUNE 11. The English mail of the 3d ultimo, with the London telegrams to the 10th, arrived on the 25th. Since then we have had our usual intermediate telegraphic news via Galle, putting us in possession of London dates to the 17th ultimo. The mail of the 18th ultimo is hourly expected. Money is unchanged. During the fortnight the Bank's rates have been reduced 2 per cent. all round. Exchange.—Rates to London have not varied during the fortnight. Government Securities.— Quotations for these are un changed since our last. Imports.—We have to report an unusually quiet fort night in piece goods. The active speculative demand which characterised our market at the date of our last issue, was checked shortly thereafter by rumours of " in tervention in the affairs of America," and on the 4th inst. telegrams via Galls reached us, reporting the capture of New Orleans, and panic in the cotton market at Liver pool. This news naturally increased the previous dulness, and since its receipt few large transactions have taken place. Respecting prices we have made little alteration on those of the previous fortnight; they are, however, a shade weaker, but the firmness of holders prevents any serious decline. Our rainy season may now be said to have fairly set in; during the past two days we have had very heavy rain, accompanied by much thunder and lightning, which has had the effect of making the atmosphere much cooler. Exports.—Cotton—ln the early part of the fortnight we had a dull market for cotton. Up to the 4th instant 5,003 candies had been taken, chiefly of Bhownuggur, at from rs. 237 to 240 k. Several purchases of Dhollera had also effect at from rs. 241 to 235, and of Broach at rs. 243 to 236. Small lots of other descriptions also found purchasers. The following is an epitome of transactions since our last : Bhownuggur, 2,920 candies, rs. 237 to 240± ; Dhollera, 475, candies, rs. 241 to 235 ; Broach, 425 candies, rs. 243 to 236 ; Compta, 300 candies, rs. 2231 to 224; Akote, 450 candies, rs. 233 to 229 ; Surat, 200 candies, rs. 237. On the 4th inst. we received the Galls telegrams announcing the capture of New Orleans, and a consequent panic in the cotton market at Liverpool on this news reaching there. The effect of this news on our market has been such as to cause an entire ces sation of business. No transaction whatever has transpired during the last seven days, every one holding off pending the arrival of the mail now due. Our quotations show a decline of rs. 10 to 12 per candy from previous rates ; these, however, must be considered as purely nominal. Exports to Europe from Ist January to this date are 533,179 bales, against 550,3601 bales during the same period of 1861. Wool : For this staple there is an active demand, and prices have advanced Its. 7. Stocks continue light, and we hear of purchases since our last to the extent of 1,330 bags. Seeas : Linseed is very scarce, and in good demand at higher rates. Coffee : All kinds are in active request; prices consequently are well maintained. Pepper: The market is almost free of stocks, and we hear of no sales since our last; prices are a shade higher. Cloves: The stock of these is large, and prices tending downwards in consequence. Freights : During the past fortnight the rates have been getting weaker, and since the sth instant, when we received telegrams advisin gthe successes of the Federals and the consequent panic in the Liverpool cotton market, hardly any engagements have been made. The European houses are fully supplied with tonnage for any small quantity of cotton they may still have to ship, and the rains having now commenced, the native dealers have stored the cotton unsold by them, and notwithstand ing the present unpromising appearance of the market de cline to accept lower prices. The clearance of vessels during the fortnight have been unusually large, and very few have arrived, but amongst them have been three vessels in ballast. We hardly now expect that rates can rally, no more cotton and very little seed can arrive here during the monsoon. We quote rates as nominally at :—To Liverpool, cotton, £1 17s. 6d. to £2 ; seeds, £1 10s. To London, cotton, £2 ; seeds, £2. FRANCE.

The following is from the Bombay Gazette of that date : The Governor of Bombay left Mahableahwar on the 10th of May for Sattara, where he will remain awhile before proceeding to Poona. Sir Bartle Frere was political resident at Sattara at the time of its annexation. The court-martial at Mhow is still proceeding. Captain Smales has given in his defence; and the universal opinion is that he is entitled to an acquit tal, and that Colonel Crawley must change places with him, and as prisoner be called on for his de fence against very serious allegations. __ By the latest accounts the camp of Dost Maho med was pitched within one march of the city of Candahar. The Dost is determined to march on Herat. As it seems certain the Persians are not abetting Sultan Jan, the Dost's vigorous proceed ings will bring his son-in-law to reason. Her Majesty's Indian navy is closing its career. All the vessels, save two, are clearing out, prepara • tory to being put out of commission. The committee of the Bombay Chamber of Com merce have issued an appeal to the community for subscriptions in aid of the distressed mill hands of Lancashire. They forward to the Lord Mayor of London by this mail the sum of 50,000 rs. The Hon. Samuel Laing left Calcutta for Eng land on the 23d of May in impaired health after the heat and toil of a victorious but hard-fought day. Some correspondence of a highly suspicious or seditious character from Mecca, addressed to some of the residents of one of the large Mahomedan cities of Upper India has been intercepted by the authorities. It is reported that all artillery officers on the staff arc to be seconded. This will cause the pro motion of a large number of lieutenants. A terrible hurricane passed over Goruckpore on the night of the 20th of May, which threw down the barracks of her Majesty's 20th Regiment, and killed fcur sergeants and privates and wounded others. Mr. J. W. S. Wyllie, of the Bombay Civil Ser vice Las been appointed to act as Under Secretary to the Government of India, Foreign Department. Defalcations to a large amount are supposed to have been discovered in the office of the collector of income-tax, Bombay; and an investigation is now being made. _ _ In the libel case, M'Arthur v. Grant (late Lieu tenant-Governor of Bengal) connected with indigo matters, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Calcutta, delivered judgment for the plaintiff. Heavy storms have cauaed a great falling off in the out-turn of opium —a loss of 12,427 chests, which, at Mr. Laing's estimate of Rs. 1250 a chest, will give a deficiency in his estimate of no less than £1,553,375. Moreover, advances have been made for 50,000 chests, and therefore that made on the 12,427 chests deficient must be added to their value, which will give a deficit of a sum nearly double that of the alleged surplus, after allowing for additional grants for public works and education. The rebel leader Rao Sahib, nephew of the in famous Nana Rao of Bithoor, who was recently captured in the Jummoo territory, has been sent to Cawnpore for trial. It was he who put to death the Futtyghur party. The following statement shows the estimated and actual receipts on account of income tax and stamp revenues of the Presidency of Bombay during the year 1861-2, including Sind, Nagpore, Nimar, Indore, and Baroda Budget Es- Actual Receipts in 1861- timate for 62, exclusive of refunds 1861-62. up to end of the year. Incorae Tax.. Rs. 40,04,033 42,35,128 Stain') • • .... ~ 22,63,200 29,45,686 The past fortnight has been remarkable only for its excessive heat. Relief from this misery has at last come. I Ne have had heavy showers of rain, accompanied with lightning, which have favourably affected the climate. These meteorological pheno mena are, however, but the precursors of the mon soons, which will probably burst upon us with the full moon —simultaneously with the departure of the present mail. The weather wise prognosticate an abundant rain. There is considerable sickness throughout the country. Cholera is prevailing in many localities. It cannot, however, be said to be general nor alarmingly prevalent ; and as a decided change of climate is now so near at hand, its fur ther increase and spread will probably be stayed. Our latest intelligence from Affghahistan is not such as to cause much anxiety. The Persians have, perhaps, been too hastily blamed. The accounts from Cubool have been and still are conflicting ; and in these circumstances it was not unnatural, considering her antecedents, to suspect Persia of evil designs towards British India. There is cer tainly no distinct evidence that she is aiding or abetting the Sultan of Herat. The quarrel seems to be confined to the family of our aged ally, the Amir Dost Mahomcd. He is acting with his usual energy, and the vigorous measures which he has adopted are calculated to result in the submission of his rebellious son-in-law, Sultan. Ahmed Jan. By latest accounts, the Amir's camp had reached Co.lelahar. He still declared his determination not to halt till he found himself before Herat. Ahmed Jan has returned from Furrah to Herat, leaving 1,000 men to take care of the former place. There is no doubt a serious quar rel in the Dost's family. The peace of Central A s i a probably depends upo n the issue of it. In thi s point of view it ma y be expedient for the British Indian Government to aid him at least with the sinews of war, of which he is much in want. From various indications it is suf ficiently apparent that Lord Elgin is carefull y w atching the progress of events in that q u art er ; and our interests are safe in his hands. The attention of the Government and of the CRYSTAL PALACE. There must be something attractive to an ex traordinary degree in the singing of children, at least when they join their voices together in large numbers. The annual gathering of the schools at St. Paul's and their vocal performances never fails to create intense interest and excitement, and invari ably draws an immense crowd of visitors to the cathedral. The meeting of the children of the me tropolitan charity schools at the Crystal Palace was no doubt suggested by the success of the annual affair at St. Paul's; and as, when the great Handel orchestra was finished, it was seen that a far larger number than could be placed in the choir of a cathe dral could be accommodated therein, a more com plete and powerful performance was anticipated by simply employing a greater numerical force. The meeting of the schools yesterday involved all I that success and excitement which we have had occasion to chronicle for the last five or six years. More than 25,000 visitors were present, and all seemed in the highest degree gratified with the performance of the children. Forty-two schools, mostly from the eastern and south-eastern districts, contributed their quota of singers ; and the whole force reached nearly the large number of 5,000—a force which necessarily filled almost to repletion the great orchestra. The appearance of the chil dren on the platform, in their neat and simple costumes, has often been described, and is, indeed, no less imposing—and to some would seem more fascinating—than the ladies of the festival choir in their brilliant toilettes, which induced several im pressible scribes to compare them to beds of flowers The selection comprised the Old Hundredth Psalm ; Christmas Hymn (" Adeste Fideles) Luther's Hymn, Great God, what do I s ee; " t h e "Hallelujah" Chorus, from the "Messiah ;" God and King of Jacob's Nation," from Mr. Costa's " Eli ;" Hymn, " Children of the He aven l y Ki ng " (Durham); Luther's Chorale, " God is our refuge" y Meyerbeer has so l arge l y (that whichappropriated in the" Huguenots ;""Jcrusalem,the Golden ;" Men " Sleepers, wa k e ! a V o i ce i s delssohn's Chorale , Calling ;" and the "National Anthem." As may readily be surmised, the plainer the subject the better told the unison performances of the youthful voices, which we may say at once were wonderfully bright, pure, and fresh throughout. Indeed the voices of the charity children assembled yesterday may be praised without qualification, and are finer to our thinking than we remember to have heard them on any former occasion. The conductor, Mr. Henry Buckland, was inde fatigable at his post, but indeed had less trouble than one might have imagined, as every boy and girl seemed perfectly au fait at his task, and on no occasion had to consult the books for words or notes. The concert commenced at three, and concluded about half -past four, so that the visitors—and what was of m ore cons equence, thejuvenile choristers— had pl en t y o f t i m e to enjoy thems e l ves wit hi n an d without the Palace ere they were summoned home wards. Fortunately the weEther was beautifully fine, and not a single contretemps occurred to spoil the day's festivities. THE UMBRELLA CHARGE AT THE EXHIBITION. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It will hardly be credited that yesterday my umbrella was again detained by the Exhibition officials because I refused to pay for its deposit at the entrance to the picture gallery, although on Saturday week it was given up o n my lawyer threatening the commissioners with legal proceed ings, and that without any attempt to maintain the legality of its detention. On Friday last it was again returned to me at another counter, and I was informed that season ticket holders were not to be forced to pay if they objected to do so. I therefore imagined that there must be some mistake, and so complied with the direction to proceed to the office, where, however, I was in formed that fresh orders had been given by the assistant secretary that nothing was to be given up unless paid for. After waiting for more than half-an-hour I suc ceeded in seeing that ordinarily invisible official, the time of whose return to his office is always stated to be quite uncertain, and on my stating who I was, he informed the that my umbrella should be given up at once, as I persisted in my refusal to pay, but that no orders would be given at the gallery entrances to allow me, or any other season ticket-holder, to receive our property at the place of deposit, as we must either pay or apply to (and I presume wait for) him for special exemption. I shall, of course, instruct my lawyer to summon the Commissioners, without further parley, should my property be detained again, as it is obviously their object to avoid having the question brought to a legal issue, while I am quite willing to pay if the demand be a legal one. Pending a legal decision I trust that all ticket holders will support me by refusing to pay, as I do not think any one can approve of the conduct of the Commissioners in refusing to yield to anything but legal threats or determined personal resistance. I may add that, on June 30th, t wrote to the secretary, and asked what course would be pursued for the future, but I am still without reply, although the letter of my lawyer was answered within forty eight hours.—l have the honour to remain, your obedient servant, A SEASON TICKET-HOLDER. June 9. HORRIBLE MURDER AT WEYMOUTH BY .4 LUNATIC. A frightful murder was committed yesterday at the pleasant little village of Sutton, about three miles from Weymouth. It appears that a man named John Cox had been labouring under a brain disease, and for some time had been under the medical treatment of Dr. Puckett, the parish surgeon for Sutton. It had been determined to remove him to the county asylum at Forston, and this determination had been incautiously expressed in Cox's hearing. On the day in question Dr. Puckett proceeded with a man named White to Cox's house to remove him, but on hearing that Cox had been violent, and threatened to murder him with a portion of a bedstead which he had broken up, told White to go for a cart whilst he went in to Cox and endeavoured to quiet him, but the lunatic immediately darted at him and said he would kill him. Dr. Puckett immediately ran outside the door and held the handle to prevent Cox getting out, on which Cox endeavoured to jump out of the window to get at him, but was prevented by some iron bars fixed in front. The deceased incautiously let go the door, on which Cox rushed out, knocked him down, stunned him with a blow over the eye, after which he dragged the body into the house, procured a saw, and deliberately sawed off the un fortunate man's bead, right foot, and right hand. Cox's father and mother were outside, but were so terrified by his threats as to be incapable of render ing any assistance. He also threatened to kill his sister, who was in the house, and she ran upstairs and hid herself. Cox afterwards rifled the deceased's pockets and threw the severed members out into the road, where he kicked them about fiendishly, and afterwards ran away. He was taken in a short time at the Plough Inn, near Osmington, by some men despatched to secure him, and conveyed in security to Weymouth. The deceased's remains were taken to the Ship Inn at Preston, where they now await an inquest. Dr. Puckett was over 60 years of age, and bore a high reputation amongst all classes for his zeal and kindness. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very small. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday. The show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive. In most descriptions a moderate retail business was transacted, at low rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on former terms. The barley trade was very firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. In malt sales on the whole progressed steadily, at full prices. Oats, in consequence of the small supply on offer, were very firm, and the currencies were on the advance. Beans and peas moved off freely, at the extreme rates of Monday. Barrel flour was in good demand, or rather higher terms. Other kinds changed hands to a moderato extent, at full quotations : ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt, Oats. Flour.

Hancock, of Bruton -street, yesterday, with a visit, and was pleased to favour him with his commands. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT MANCHESTER. — His Highness Said Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt, arrived with his suite at Manchester yesterday. Deputations from the corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Cotton Supply Association, were at the railway station to receive and do honour to the distinguished visitor on his arrival from Liverpool; and a suite of rooms at the Queen's Hotel have been engaged for his use. To-day the Mayor and Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Cotton Supply Association, will attend at the Town-hall to give him a formal reception and welcome him ; and it is expected that his Highness will afterwards lunch with them. The town is dressed with flags, and his reception has been of the most flattering character. CURIOUS RESULT OF DYING WITHOUT MAKING A WILL.—A few days ago, says an Alloa paper, an elderly lady residing in a populous village in the county of Clack mannan " walked the way of nature," as Shakspeare has it, and left no will behind. The good lady was the owner of ono or two properties in addition to the house in which she herself lived and died, and on the day she was consigned to the tomb there were some eight or ten sensible people turned up who claimed to be next of kin. Desirous of having the question of priority of claim settled amicably, a legal gentleman, holding a high official position, and in whose judgmen t all he had the fullest confidence, was invited to the house hoof t deceased by the relatives or supposed relatives n of ti t on and de parted lady—the object being a friendly give conversation. Each claimant was buoyaelnxdtplwaith expec tation that the legal judg ment in his or her favour. ge T n h tl e am ela an ims w o of fully argued, and they were as would thoughl and somewhatea c h were fully The result of the more dispassionately dispassionately considered. was that the legal tention amongst the friends umpire nor other of the dispu tants held that neither . to on either the moveable or tants had any true al e e f andre c hiefot the e 4:ne ra lady had died intestate—none closely related to the de heritable property. of the claimantss f were onsa nguinity, and in name of her Ma ceased by the ties c leared the possession of the whole effects of 11 the house of all the supposed rela jteh.sety, deceasedt h i e , h r mourners was rather taken aback tives. by this announcement, but believing the judgment soun d one, h9aked p e r m i ss ion to entertain to a parting retreshment, there being t a tho b e u b i: B de°ainnePeunoYt materials for that purpose in the aumrie.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-TUNSDA.Y. Market. day brought an increased number of country people to the Heath, and a genial change in the weather enabled them to enjoy the sport. Two o'clock was the ap pointed time for starting, but owing to the first event, a match, not being run, actual racing did not begin until half an hour later. Messrs. Tattersall sold a quantity of year lings tefore the rooms in the morning, ten lots from Mr. Simpson's stud at Roydon, near Diss, averaging 117 gui neas, while seven belonging to a neighbour went for less than 40 guineas each. A fine filly, by Fisherman, bred near Wellingborough, realised 250 guineas. The plate given by Lord Stamford was the most interesting item on the card, but five only of its 41 subscribers went to the post, and Thunderbolt repeated his Stockbridge performance by winning in a canter, A Plate of £5O produced a field of 15 maiden 2-yr-olds, which Baron Rothschild's filly Canace, who had previously run in the Stamford Plate, won very easily. The Town Plate, with the Perram dona tion added, being walked over for, the races were over at half-past four o'clock on a fine sunny afternoon.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Clementi, sto 1 each agst Spark and Lady Derby, 8 to 1 agst Peneus, 9 to 1 agst Ellerton, and 10 to 1 agst Barer. In consequence of the fractiousness of Baffler and Dark Lady, who refused to face the flag, and broke away with their riders, the start was delayed a short period, but when the flag was lowered the lot got away nearly in a line, spread across the course. Spark, lying in the centre, showed in advance for a shod distance only, when the run ning was taken up by Dark Lady on the extreme lett, having Lady Derby, Baffler, Spark, Clementi, and Exacti tude for her immediate attendants into the Dip, where Lady Derby was disposed of, and her place taken by Baser, who, with Clementi and Peneus, came on in pursuit of the leader to within a few rtrides of home, when Baffler made an effort to get up, but failed, and was beaten easily by two lengths, a head separating the second and third; Peneus was fourth, and Spark fifth, Eastern Princess being abso- lutely last.

Palestro, with Argonaut at his girths, made play, the favourite, on the extreme left, going on third, with Nemesis and Canace following to the T.Y.C. winning post, where Sharpe `• dropping" his hands, Thunderbolt immediately shot to the front, and made the rest of the running,and won in the commonest canter by half a dozen lengths, Palestro just beating Argonaut by a head for second; Canace was a bad fourth, and Nemesis last.

Dollar, in company with Muffler on his whip hand, made the running, followed by the favourite and Weatherbow, Amelia lying up to the plantation turn, where Armagnac obtained a slight lead, which he held to the end, and won a close race by three-quarters of a length, half a length sepa• rating the second and third; a bad fourth; Muffler, who ran uncommonly raw and green, finished last, beaten off a long way.

Lord Stamford's colt was . the first on his legs, and was immediately followed by Blacklock and Refuge, the three being joined at the foot of the hill by Peneus and Witch of Endor. The Witch took a clear lead half way up the cords, and won easily by two lengths, Peneus beating Refuge,who swerved at the finish, for second place by three lengths, Blacklock was fourth, the Lady Love colt fifth, and Alice sixth.
