NOTICE. All remittances are, henceforth, to be made to Mr. JOHN CHAPLIN, at The Sun office, 112, Strand, who has been appointed, by the Lord Chancellor, Receiver and Manager of The Sun newspaper, and the outstanding debts due in respect thereof. The assertion that negotiations for mediation in America by France and England are to be shortly opened in London, is now positively made by La P aerie. We made a few remarks on Wednesday on the arguments offered for mediation by the Constitutionnel, as they were, altogether, presented in a manner intended to convey the impression that the Imperial editor—whom M. FMB de clares to be the only editor in France—was more or less directly their author. In the peculiar posi tion of the French press, it can never be absurd to suppose that important political news, pretty strongly affirmed to be correct, must either be so, or that its publication must be authorised for a pur pose. In the present case it is not easy to con ceive of any purpose but that of, at least, inviting the expression of public opinion in regard to an ' object the Imperial Government would like to accomplish; while it may also be to prepare the public for what is actually intended to be done. On Wednesday we expressed our apprehension that friendly mediation would be spurned till neces sity compelled its acceptance. We have that fear pretty strongly still. We did not, however, mean to deny that it would be at least honourable in France to proffer mediation a second time, nor even that, just possibly, it might be of some avail. Summer heat will soon compel the Northerns to a virtual truce; and, should Congress pass its long lingering tax bill, and should the real worth of the assignats now issued by the Government begin to be appreciated, the lash of the taxgatherer and the depreciation of paper may generate a wish for peace. Of course our rulers ought to have the best information, but we should have thought that London was just the wrong place to be prominent in such negotiations. All the snubbing and bullying we have quietly put up with, all the attention we have shown our " seceded" eolonies,;has done but little to produce in the minds of the sovereign many in America a better feeling towards England. Indeed, looking at the United States as a great " secession" from Britain, they but too plainly illustrate the feeling which will be found probably a century hence between the Northern and Southern portions of the old Union. As politicians, we may illustrate to ourselves the possibility of North and South working together again in one Union, by asking how England and the thirty-two sovereign states could do it. England will never be forgiven by the American mob. England, therefore, if mediation be offered, should keep in the back ground. She might give her approval to the efforts of France, but, if she wish the offer to succeed, she ought not to go further. France may do or say anything, even march on the Mexican capital, we cannot speak without being subjected to the imputation of ungenerous motives, nor even without injuring the objects at which we aim. It strikes us that the whole responsibility of proffering mediation, and the chief honour of its suc cess, if success be possible, should belong to France. We might, in response to applications for counte nance from France, express our cordial approbation of proposals so humane to Europe as well as to America, but our alliance in the business would, we apprehend, almost insure its failure. Altogether different would it be were England as well as France prepared to insist on the termination of the war. In that case the greatest display of strength would be the greatest kindness. We have never denied that the moral right of English and Frerich operatives to the means whereby they live, is so strong, that if the two Powers had chosen to take that view, they would have been justified in scouting doubtful inter national law, and using their fleets to maintain a perfectly open trade in cotton, indeed in every thing, at the southern ports. We have suffered, however, the Federals now to seize those ports, and so have complicated what would otherwise have been a very simple matter. As therefore, neither Government probably contemplates action as well as persuasion, surely it were better that the power to which alone the North would listen should be the responsible mediator. Meantime the important consideration is, what is to be considered fair time for Europe, so greatly to its own injury, to allow the North to indulge in civil war. Important as the trade of the South is to two large and several minor European States, even the North cannot pretend that we are quite out of court. It is becoming probable that India cannot be stimulated to supply us with cotton in sufficient time to save us millions of money, great and permanent injury to the trade, and worst of all, to save from deep distress hundreds of thousands of men, both here and on the continent, who, in justice ought not to suffer thus to please the Northern States. Even if they can succeed, after years of fighting and ill blood, in subju gating the vast South, we are not surely required to see ail the cotton manufactories of Europe closed and ruined for such an object ; but, when it is doubtful whether conquest of the South be even possible—and, if possible, of any use to the conquerors—it may well be denied that we are re quired by international law to prolong indefinitely toleration of the murderous and ruinous ambition of the North. As to the question of slavery, we are pleased, of ',Be, to see the concessions to personal liberty to hi t% necessity has driven the Northern Repub -1 „ i ica n .. _ • a out the North itself has compelled us to ho pe but little from its triumph. It dreads the abolition of sl a very. as it ca n . It lt repudiates negroes as far treats a race, willing above all races to be led, governed, wit4i a ta nd bo employed, as a burden and of educating the negro to intelli- South gent industry, the South labour, and the North Poor negro its social presence. Both repre2 a ti,„ drives make s him an animal for Woul be negro ; and, though he might fare better i n Mr. LINCOLN'S hands than in those of JEFF n —Ay's, it .5 1 almost probable that an independent driven to abolish slavery, as that the North Would drive the South to do it. According to the French press, which hardly dare write thus without authority, the appeal to England by the French Government is fully de cided on. Count PERSIGNY, the old confidential friend of the'EMPEROR, is to convey to our Govern ment the private sentiments of the EMPEROR, to ascertain whether the views of the two Govern ments accord sufficiently to permit of an arrange ment which can be carried out in common. To night Mr.HOPWOOD IS to cateeh:se our Government, and to ask, "Whether her MAJEsIY's Govorn mett and the Government of France had any in tention of offering their friendly mediation between the Northern and Southern States of America, and if so, whether in the event of their friendly offices being declined, they would be prepared to recognise the Southern Confederacy ?" We shall therefore probably have some intima tion from our Government of the course they intend to take, It will be, we doubt not, to persist in our present policy. We deliberately adopted non-inter vention; the cost of non-intervention, if attempted effectually, would surpass the cost of maintaining our operatives in part for years; and, as we have already observed, the Yankee temper would never endure friendly advice from the mother country. We trust our Government will, therefore, be found willing to support any representations which France may be disposed to make, but not to take a prominent, nor even en equal part in offering coml. • sel quite certain to be rejected. Whatever the duration of the Cotton Dearth in our manufacturing districts, it has already taught us a lesson, from which, it is to be hoped, that the nation will profit, and that betimes. It is a lesson we have long been learning. We had caught a notion of the alphabet of it a considerable while before the dearth alluded to had set in. But—bet ter than all the knowledge inculcated theoretically —experirnentia doret. Now the veriest tyro and smatterer as a political economist can appreciate, to a certain extent at least, the force of the truth upon which the profounder students in that science, the more advanced disciples in the philosophy of ADAM SMITH, have been for some years past so very earnestly and energetically insisting. That truth now so legibly glares upon our recognition from the wall that he who runs may read it. It can no longer be gainsaid. It is demonstrated with the clearness and dittinctness of a syllogism in every cotton mill that is either closed altogether, or merely half-worked, yonder in the North of England. Provision must, sooner or later, coute qui coute, for our obtaining this, at least, if no other, of the raw material essential to the working of our gigantie and densely peopled factories from within the compass of our possession. Whatever else may be done, or left undone, henceforth as a sequel to the outbreak of this disastrous civil war in North America—this good result, at any rate we must take care to win from it securely and permanently—the emancipation of our cotton manufacturers here in England from any further dependence to so alarmingly heavy an extent as at present upon the cotton growers of the Southern States of the Confederation. As things have been standing with us hitherto in this matter, the great bulk of that one raw material of cotton has been imported from that very group of States beyond the Atlantic, from those Confederated States of America. Hence, when the ports dotted all along that seaboard were rigidly closed by the Federal Blockade at the commence ment of the war, still raging between the Federals and Confederates—the ill consequences looming in the future for ourselves here in England became speedily enough recognisable. The coming gloom could be readily anticipated. At the outset the cloud was no bigger than a man's hand—Mr. LIN COLN'S—that is, when in the name of the Federal Government, or rather, we should say, in the name of the United States of America, he signed the man date for the closing of those ports in the South, the ports of the Confederates. Darkly, however, that small cloud has laboured up from the west, until even across the wide Atlantic —it overshadows us. Debarred from access to the emporium of our principal supplies of that raw material of cotton, our manufacturers first of all, our trade afterwards, has already suf fered, is still unhappily suffering, and has appa rently a long while yet to tuffer very considerably. Recognising all which—as who can fail to recog nise it nowadays P—the thought comes back to us with redoubled force as to the possibility of England rendering herself, in regard to her future Cotton supplies, independent of the cotton growing States of America! It is more than the thought that thus comes back to us—it is the hope, it is the resolve, the full and fixed deter mination. To rely, henceforth, in this matter as we have rashly done hitherto upon the cotton supplying capabilities of America, would be visibly and undeniably now to lean upon a broken reed. The question then arises immediately as to which may be the quarter, or rather as to which may be the quarters, that could most reasonably be looked to for the cultivation, hereafter, of the cotton plant systematically and by wholesale. Here, happily, we have a choice of territory—to the south, to the west, to the east, and in both hemispheres. Our own dominions are so wide spread that of course,a considerable proportion of the lands spoken of as suitable regions for the cultivation of cotton crops are our own. Our wish would be obviously to obtain as much of the cotton we require as might be from our own colonial possessions, no matter where situated. But equally, of course, it would be to our advantage that the cultivation of the cotton plant should, as much as possible, and as sedulously, be culti vated elsewhere. More than one string to his bow were as reasonable a wish on the part of the modern Viking JOHN BULL, as on that of the ancient Sea Hero, the old Homeric Odysseus. Naturally, therefore, we are beginning to look seriously about us now for the selection of the most suitable regions in which to encourage, by all the means at our command, the cultivation of the cotton plant upon as vast a scale as possible. And there is certainly choice enough before us —towards the solving of this selection judi ciously, Whither soever we look almost, there at once may we recognise very readily, almost at the first superficial glance a country in which the cultivation of the cotton plant is not only possible but most desirable. Upon a rapid survey, taken in a manner hap hazard, as we turn a terrestrial globe upon its axis casually at the touch of a finger—eight dif ferent directions may at once be indicated. Firstly, of course, there is Ilindostan. There, all along the sea coast of Madras and Bengal, are low lying tracts of land of very considerable dimen sions, in same respects about the most desirable that could well be for the cotton planter. Further inland, again, there are still larger tracts, upon a higher level, that in this particular present a still more notable attraction to the cotton speculator. Secondly, there is the east coast at any rate (if no other) of the noble island of Ceylon. There we learn upon reliable authority that the swamp and the jungle might be readily reclaimed to this end by the drainage of the lagoons. Thirdly, there are the coasts of Guiana and Cay of enne, where the cotton already grown is only scanty by reason of the lack of labourers ; and hard by ther e i s a l so our own b eaut if u l i s l and o f J ama i ca , where th e up l ands are known to admit very easily reproductive i rr i ga ti on . Fourthly, there are the se a ll u ring Italian coasts on the s id e not so much of the Adriatic as of the Medit erranean, t c h h e ur behor;dearnsd—klneossn attractiv e until wvery recentlyonly d uring the la s t t h ousan d years as th ose o f the States of t h e by the side of th ose to the cotton planter—the sea coast nearly reachi ng to Trieste upon the skirts of the Venetian territory.

Sixthly, there is—perhaps the most suitable region of all that could be selected anywhere in our own possessions—that richest part of all India for the purposes of the cotton planter, the Presi .. dency of Bombay. Seventhly, there are vast future cotton fields, we may confidently believe, at our antipodes, in the northern island of New Zealand, and along the northern and eastern coasts of Australia. Eighthly, and lastly, in this enumeration there is Egypt, and particularly that portion of Egypt known as the Delta. In regard to the capabilities of all these widely scattered countries, as lands admitting of the cul tivation of cotton upon a gigantic scale, the fullest particulars we have anywhere been enabled to ob tain as yet in a compact and popular form are com prised within the pages of a remarkable work upon the subject of " Cotton Cultivation,"* k emaed by Mr. JOSEPH GIBBS, a member of the Institute of Civil Engineers. To -this comprehensive volume of Mr. GIBBS'S we may confidently direct the reader for useful and reliable information. To its pages we ourselves shall take the earliest opportunity of re verting. * Cotton Cultivation in its various Details : the Barrage of Great Rivers, &c. By Joseph Gibbs. Bvo., pp, 248. B. F. N.

Prussia, at least the Prussian people, wish to do it, and even her divine-right King is said to be not obstinately adverse; but he hangs to the skirts of Russia: if Russia will recognise the King of Italy, Prussia will. Of course VICTOR EMMANUEL would like to enjoy the diplomatic friendship of his royal cousins, although the want of it can do him no serious harm. Still it would, so far, confirm the position of the new kingdom in Europe. But the CZAR wants to exact a price. The King of ITALY must prevent the organisation of Polish refugees on Italian territory. Many of the Poles have fled thither, and they have a school which would have to be broken up. The terms of the pro posal are ensnaring, Had it been required simply that the Poles should not drill and arm themselves for insurrectionary purposes, this, according to in ternational law, could not be refused by any power on terms of amity with Russia. But the Polish organisations, now, are not military, but civil. The Poles understand that theirs must be the battle of civil right against civil wrong. Their organisations have all been social and peaceful; and what has annoyed the despotism of Russia most of all is that the Poles would not give the least pretext to their enemies to attack them with the military. It is a Polish school, not a Polish regiment, in Italy, which the CZAR aims to destroy. We hope, there fore, the King of ITALY will refuse the cunning bribe. His reply should be, that he is bound in honour not to allow war to be levied in Italy against Russia, but that, with all peaceful organisations of political refugees he must decline to interfere. A NEW SONG FOB THE NAVY. (From Punch.) Come, cheer up my lads? if to battle we steer We're proof 'gainst all shot, not a foe need we fear; With armour well shielded, all danger we brave, For who are so safe as the sons of the wave? Chorus. Iron hulls have our ships, true as steel are our men, With guns ever ready, We steam on so steady, We 'll fight and we 'll conquer again and again. We've no masts now to lose, not a sail, not a spar, No splinter can fly, iron-cased as we are : Safe and snug on we steam, ne'er turn tail, never shrink, Unharmed, a whole fleet now with ease we could sink. Chorus. Iron hulls have our ships, &c. But four guns we mount, yet such big guns are they, The four shots they throw a whole broadside out-weigh : And whin these we 've poured in, be the foe swimming then, We clap on full steam, and we give bim the stem. Chorus. Iron hulls have our ships, &c. The civil marriage of Baron Charles de Talley rand Perigord, French Minister at the Court of Belgium, with Mdlle. Vera Benardaki, daughter of M. Georgevitch Benardaki, of St. Petersburg, was celebrated the day before yesterday, at the Hotel de Ville at Brussels. The witnesses for the bridegroom were M. Ch. Rogier, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Prince Henry de Ligne ; and for the bride, her two brothers, Leonidas and Nicholas. The nuptial benediction was afterwards given by the Patriarch in the Greco-Russian chapel. The b r id egroom was born i at Laon, in France, n 1821, and the bride in Russia, in 1842. DEPARTURE OF THE JAPANESE AMBASSADORS. —The Japanese ambassadors and suite, accompanied by Mr. Macdonald, and by Mr. Eborall, general manager, and other officials of the South Eastern Railway Company, arrrived at Woolwich this afternoon, for embarkation on board a Dutch man-of-war steam sloop en 7 outs for Hol land. The party proceeded in carriages from the Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway to the Dockyard, where they arrived about half-past two o'clock, and were received by various officers of the establishment. The three ambas sadors immediately entered the royal barge, when the en sign was dipped, as a signal for a salute of 19 guns, which was fired from the Fisgard flag ship. Their excellencies were then rowed to the steam sloop, which is moored in the middle of the stream, the suite being conveyed to the vessel in open cutters. The ambassadors before embarking inti mated to the authorities that they were in every respect delighted with their visit to this country. PERMISSIVE BILL MEETING.—A public meeting was held last evening at Exeter-hall of the members and friends of the Unted Kingdom Alliance, at which a petition to Parliament was adopted, praying for the enactment of a permissive law, allowing two-thirds of the ratepayers in any parish to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors within their locality. The meeting was very numerously attended, Mr. Lawson, M.P., presiding. THE GREAT EASTERN IN CUSTODY.—Possession was taken of the leviathan steamer on the 30th, by the United States Marshal's Deputy, under an attachment for a claim of 100,000 dols., preferred by Hamilton F. Towle, engineer, for salvage. The plaintiff alleged that when the Great Eastern was on a voyage to New York she was so disabled as to be rendered incapable of proceeding to port, until he, a passenger, invented a screw that saved the ves sel, her passengers, and cargo. On the same day an appli cation was made before the United States district judge for a reduction of the amount of bail in the case. Mr. Everts, on behalf of the defendants, contended that the amount of bail was enormous, and that Mr. Towle had not rendered any more service en the occasion than any man possessed of the same ability and ingenuity would volunteer to save the lives of fellow beings, particularly when his own life was in equal jeopardy. Lord Stowell, a great English judicial authority, had laid down that a passenger under such circumstances could not recover any compensation. If Mr. Towle had kept within his mind the idea of saving the vessel until he had exacted a promise of payment— until he had found a fortune in a great disaster—he would be an unworthy passenger on any future voyage with his fellow-men. No bill had been sent in for these services; and if Mr. Towle had made a claim of 5,000 dols., and been paid it, he would have had go id reason to know that it was a good night's work to save his own life and get so much money. Judge Betts would not go into the merits, but merely confine himself to the amount of bail, in order to secure to the plaintiff whatever rights he might establish on the trial of the cause. Ultimately his Honour decided to bond the vessel in the sum of 10,000 dole. Howland and Aspinwall became the sureties, and the vessel was dis charged from the custody of the - United States Marshal. 1 ERRIFIC STORM IN AUCKLAND.—Last night we were visited by a terrific storm from the E N.E , which destroyed shipping f#our harbour to the extent of £lO,OOO. The steamer Phoenix has entirely disappeared. Her Ma jesty's ship Harrier lost two boats, and had two men drowned. The greatest damage has been done to our coast ing trade. The wharf has suffered considerable injury,and the breach in Custom-house-street, made one month ago by a similar storm, has been considerably widened. The fol lowing vessels have been more or less injured :—The barque Kate ; the ship City of Manchester ; the schooners Vistula, Fawn, Rose, and Sea Breeze; the brig Sporting Lass; the cutters Bessy and Wanderer ; the schooners Zillah and Industry ; the Teazer cargo boat ; the schooners Canter bury and Eclipse; her Majesty's cutter Ellen, and a yacht belonging to Bishop Patteson. The following are total wrecks :—lhe steamer Phoenix, the schooners Township of Taurangi and Rose Ann, and the cutters Annie Lauri e and Clyde,—,Southern cross, April 8. (-LATEST NEWS.

An Imperial decree appoints the Grand Duke Constantine namiestnik of Poland, and the Marquis Wielopolski chief of the civil government apd vice president of the Council of State. General Luders is ordered to sontinue to discharge the functions of governor until the arrival of the Grand Duke. The Northern Bee publishes a strong article in reference to the late great fires, and advocates the immediate formation of volunteer fire brigades, to be composed of citizens. The Imperial ukase appointing the Grand Duke Constantine namiestnik of Poland, says :—" Con sidering that the powers conferred on the Governors of Poland in 1818 are incompatible with the present state of things, the new powers with which the new Governor is invested are as follows:—The Governor of Poland exercises administrative and executive authority through the medium of the chief of the civil service and the Commander-in- Chief of the troops, who are his subordinates. The Governor possesses, likewise, the right of pardon." FRANCE. The Presse of this evening says:-- " The journey of Count Persigny to London is exclusively a political one." On this subject the Esprit Public adds : "Count Persigny will submit to the English Cabinet the private views of the Emperor, in order to come to an arrangement for the mediation of England and France in America." Relative to the Roman question, the same paper says : _ _ _ "It is . said that the Papal Government has officially informed the French Government that it will listen to no proposition modifying the con ditions of the temporal power of the Pope."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WARSAW, JUNE 5. The frequent telegrams from St. Peterburg seem to augur for this country, if not a change for the better, at least a certain state of transition. The reported appointment of the Grand Duke Constan tine as Lieutenant of the Kingdom appears to be confirmed by the arrival in the city of Count Adlerberg for the purpose of making preparations for the reception of the Grand Duke, brother of the Emperor, who, in addition to the above dignity, is to be the President of the Council of Ministers and of the Council of State. To believe all the rumours, the constitution granted by the Emperor Alexander I. in 1815 is to be restored either partially or in its whole integrity. The Marquis Wielopolski is to be the right hand of the Grand Duke, acting also as Vice-President of the Council of State and of that of the Cabinet. Another satellite, in the person of M. Walujen, a Russian, who at present fills the post of the Minister of the Interior at St. Petersburg, will be added to assist the Grand Duke, and at the same time to report confi dentially to the Emperor whatever may be worthy of the Imperiel notice. These news, which come from a credible source, cannot be doubted, and that the country stands sadly in need of reform is equally undeniable. The position of .. the Govern ment towardi`the country has become from day to day more difficult, and it was early forseen that it could last no longer. It has, in fact, exhausted itself in its acts of tyranny to such an extent that it shows its own weakness. Ever deceitful and of bad faith, it has erected a bridge between them selves and the people which no one dares to cross. And as is often the case in such a situation, symptoms of discontent and insubordination showed themselves even among the most confidential servants of the Czar, and in the private office of the Governor-General,—nay, acts of treachery were to be recorded against some. Whoever could desert the official post, and throw off his shoulders the solidarity of the system pursued by the Govern ment, which, as it grew weaker, offered n guarantee for stability, did it with the utulo6t eagerness. Driven to such a pass, deprived of those on whom it most relied, the Government felt its own danger and its inability to proceed any further. The Poles, undaunted by the most cruel persecutions, are still Poles in heart and in spirit ; all has failed to make Russians of them. It iss not, therefore, surprising that such a gloomy picture has at last opened the eyes of the Emperor, and that he should have selected his own brother, and the only man capable of assisting him in his herculean task undertaken in Russia, to try and reconcile the Poles. Will he be able to do so ;or rather, is he possessed of the sincerity so necessary for accomplishing his mission. It is puzzling to answer. If he comes here with the usual notions of former Governors, merely to rale at any cost or sacrifice, he will miserably fail in the attempt. If he be a man of honour, and bent upon doing some good, he must for a time throw aside the Asiatic pride and despotism, show that he comes as a friend, a counsellor, a mediator, and not as a relative of a tyrannical conqueror. The Poles, who never give up 'one iota of their sanguine hopes as to the ulti mate restoration of their country, will be disposed to receive all the concessions which fairly belong to them. The Grand Duke Constantine has now a fine field to display not only his own so much talked-of liberal sentiments, but to render himself popular. To effect this, he must be surrounded not by the Muscovite hosts, but by natives who enjoy the esteem and confidence of the nation. With the aid of such men tran quillity and something like a healthy state of the country may be anticipated. But, above all, good faith and honesty in dealing with the people should form the first inauguration of a new system of Government. The first meeting of the Municipal Council of Warsaw was held on the 25th ult., and attended by all the members present in that city. Count Andrea Zamoyski, Dr. Chalubiaski, Mr. Lewiaski, and many others, evinced every desire to fulfil the duties devolving upon them by the choice of their fellow-countrymen. It must be remembered that the spirit in which these elections were made in September last was assigned as a reason for declaring Poland in a state of siege, and of dispatch ing a great number of the members elected to the confines of Russia, some of whom still remain there, and could not, of course, take any part in the meeting of the 25th. The president, Mr.Woyde, has opened the proceedings with a speech which, though not displeasing to the members, was not offensive to the Government, since it has found its place in all the official journals. By an imperial ukase the Polish Bank in War saw is enjoined to take the Russian paper, which should be exchanged four times a-year at St. Petersburg for gold and silver. The sum thus ex changed is 600,000 roubles each time. The exchange exposed the bank at Warsaw to the loss of 63,000 roubles. Such measures display the desperate financial state of Russia, and expose the country to the most ruinous losses. A rumour was circulated that Russia was to be divided into 14 military departments, and Poland into four, with a view to an easier centralisation of the troops in case of a sudden danger with which the Czar is threatened. The clandestine press at St. Petersburg has issued a short but energetic address to the Russian sol- diers, imploring them not to fight against the Poles, should they be called on by the Czar to do so. SERIOUS MINING ACCIDENT.-OVER DARWEN, 11 ♦.x.—This morning, at the new colliery of Messrs. Potter and Co„ as the men were driving a shot in the rock for blasting, the fuse was fired by a spark from the rock, causing the shot to explode, whereby three men were injured. DEATH OF THE REV. JOHN BURNET.—We re gret to announce the death of the Rev. John Burnet, one of the ministers in connection with English Nonconformity. The rev, gentleman, who was born at Perth about the year 1788, entered in early life as a common soldier, and served for some time in the ranks. Having obtained his discharge, and devoted his mind to religious sul jects, he became the minister of an Independent congregation at Cork. He afterwards removed to Camberwell, and presided over a congregation that assembled in the Manor Chapel, on the west sido of the eam l s.rwell-road- A few years ago his congregation having much increased, a handsome chapel was built for him at Camberwell green, and of this he re• mained a minister until the time of his death. Mr. Burnet was a man of strong common sense, and was always wel comed at public meetings, his style of speaking being highly attractive and amusing, without buffoonery of any kind. He was a sound, sterling, practical preacher, and drew around him a highly intellectual congregation. In the days of the anti-corn law and anti-slavery agitations ho was an active advocate on the Liberal side. It is said that more than one bishop of the Church of England offered him ordination; but he steadily refused to quit the ranks of Nonconformists of which he was undoubtedly a bright ornament, DESERET.— On the 14th April the representatives elected to the first Legislature of the State of Deseret as sembled in Senate and House of Representatives. The official message of the Governor was delivered by Brigham Young in person, in which, among other principles, he lays down that the number of inhabitants of a territory should be no criterion for its fitness to be admitted as a sovereign state into the Union. The most important business that this first Mormon legislature will transact, in its present session, will be to elect two senators for the purpose of pro ceeding to Washington, presenting the constitution of Deseret, and demanding admission as a sovereign state into the Federal Union. One of these senators has been already elected, and probably both are now on their way to Wash ington, for the purpose of carrying out the object men tioned.—San Francisco Mirror. PRACTICAL JOKING IN NOTTINGLIAIII.—For a considerable time past Mr. Jonathan Burton, an extensive lace manufacturer, and others moving in a very respect able sphere, have been conspicuous in the police-court, charged with practical joking of a very violent character. Hitherto thay have escaped with fines, and by compensat ing those who had been victims of their jokes. Yesterday Mr. Burton and Mr. John Green Leeman, auctioneer, were brought before the borough bench of magistrates at the police-court, charged with assaulting a musician named Thomas Chamberlain. It appeared in evidence that both Burton and Leeman had previously to committing the assault insulted Chamberlain, and afterwards Burton and a man named Walker held Chamberlain while Leeman struck him violently over the head. Mr. Cowley appeared for Burton, and Mr. Browne for Leeman. The magistrates having heard the evidence retired for a short time, and, having returned into court, sentenced Leece an to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, and Burton to one month, also with hard labour. Upon hearing the sen tence, both the accused appeared staggered with the punish ment awarded, as a mere fine had been anticipated. Mr. Cowley asked the bench to commit his client to the sessions, but Mr. Alderman Cullen, on behalf of the magistrates, said that the bench had adjudicated summarily and would abide by their decision. A NEW CHAPTER IN PHOTOGRAPHY.—Mr. Fox Talbot was the first in this country to patent a process by means of which a photograph could be transferred to a metallic plate, and engrave thereon by chemical means, but this process was not the one employed in producing the plates from which the proofs described above were printed ; these were engraved by a much superior method, which is also . patented, but anybody who may desire to amuse him self by employing it in the production of engraving far his own portfolio, and not for sale is quite at liberty to do so. The process is as fellows :—A perfectly clean metal plate is covered with a thin dry film byholding it over a spirit lamp, and thus evaporating from its surface the vaporous portion of a solution composed of a quarter of an ounce of gelatine in eight or ten ounces of water, to which an ounce of saturated solution of bichromate of pot assa has been added. On the plate thus prepared is laid the object it is desired to engrave, whether this be a piece of lace, a leaf of a plant or flower, an engraving, a pen-and-ink sketch of a loved countenance, or what, in photographic parlance, is termed a glass posi tive. A pieta of glass is fastened firmly over the object so placed, and it is then exposed to sunlight from one thoosleols ral minutes, according to circumstances. carried into a room from which daylight is T e h x e . clu a 7 le e d, of th i e t object is removed from the plate, when 9. faint hi n image of is perceptible on the film.

FOWEY, CORNWALL, June IL—I have great pleasure in stating that the Fowey lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, has this day proved herself eminently successful is saving the Danish schooner Sylphiden, of Nakskov, and her crew of seven hands, from total destruc tion. The vessel was from Dartmouth for Charlestown, in our bay, and in ballast. As the wind was too strong from S.S.E. to enter Charlestown, she took shelter under the high land, last evening, east of Polkerris, and signalled for a pilot. This morning she was still riding at her anchors, and the gale increasing apprehensions were entertained for her safety. The surf was so high that no ordinary boat could face it. During the afternoon, the gale increasing, the captain attempted to weigh anchor, and run for Par, but no sooner were the anchors tripped than she began to drift, and was fast making for the lee shore. The anchors again held fast, but so great was the strain on the cable, the vessel being now in broken water, with only one and a halt fathoms, that the captain and crow saw n >thing but de struction before their eyes, unless speedy assistance were obtained, and up went the "jack" in the rigging. The gallant crew of the lifeboat, with their ex perienced coxswain, were all ready for the work, and in a few minutes on board, accompanied by Mr. Stubbs, the chieff officer of the coast guard. In another minute or two the lifeboat was off from her transporting carriage, and flying through the foaming surf and over the crested waves in gallant style, pulling to windward in the very teeth of the now furious gale. The apparently doomed ship was reached by veering the boat from windward, and. Mr. Stubbs, and Heath, the coxswain, with some of the crew, got on board. Mr. Stubbs took the command at once. To hesitate what to do would have been destruction. To run for Par was now impracticable. Ile at once resolved to take the ship into Polkerris, ordered sail to be set and the anchor slipped. For some minutes the good ship staggered in the gale, and as it were hesitated to be guided by Iler helm. At last she wore round, and, I am happy to say, was brought safely inside the pier, close to the lifeboat house, and in a manner which ralects the greatest credit on that officer and the coxswain and crew of the lifeboat under his command. The crew proved them selves equal to any emergency, one of whom, an agricul tural labourer, volunteered his services to fill a vacancy in the lifeboat's crew. Thursday Morning..—l have to add to my letter of last evening that the weather has become still worse during the night, the barometer being down to 29.38, and the captain feels quite convinced that, under Providence, the lifeboat and her crew have been the means of saving both the ship and the lives of the crew.

SALMON FISHINGS IN SCOTLAND.—The salmon fishings in the Forth and on Loch Tay, as compared with former seasons, continue to be very unproductive. The almost continuous showers of rain and hail, accompanied with cold stormy winds, have prevented fishing operations from being prosecuted. On Thursday and Monday a few well-conditioned salmon were landed from the Tay. The late heavy rains have kept the river swollen, and brought up a large number of sea-trout and a few grilse. The variable weather is the only drawback to a successful fish ing season, for in all directions the loch is well stocked bozli with salmon and trout. SNOW IN JUNE.—The weather since Thursday last in the central and north-western districts of Perthshire has more resembled January than June. On Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday, heavy showers of snow, hail, and sleet continued to drift along the hills at intervals. In the low country a large quantity of rain fell, accompanied at times with hailstones of large size. A pretty severe thun derstorm passed over the district on Tuesday afternoon, and, owing to the prevalence of bitter cold east winds, and the excess of moisture, the whole vegetable kingdom has assumed a drooping and sickly appearance. 'THREE MEN OVER NIAGARA FALLS.— Three men were swept over Niagara Falls on the 24th of May. The men were seen putting out from the Canada side, near Chippewa, with the evident intention of landing near the south end of Goat Island. After getting' out a short dis tance the current was found too strong for them, the recent high wind up the lakes was still forcing more than a usual quantity of water through the river ; and ; although they made every exertion to stem the rushing tide, yet their efforts were entirely unavailing. '1 hey were seen, after battling for a time desperately against the current, to draw their oars from the water and sit motionless in the boat, resigned t • their fate. In this condition they were swept over the falls.—lllontreal Commercial Advertiser. WONDERS OF PHOTO-ZINCOGRAPHY.—In the Topographical Department of the War Office there are copies of ancient documents taken by this process which are so perfect that examination even with a magnifying glass fails to discover any fault. Fac-similes of the most rare and valuable documents and records contained in our public offices can be obtained by the process with great rapidity and at small cost ; its use in the Public Record Office alone, it is estimated, will save the country £lO,OOO a year, and the saving in the map department will also be considerable. But the pecuniary is not the most im portant point of view from which to regard the invention. With the sanction of the Secretary of State for War, Sir 11. James is publishing the fac-simile of the first 11,114 , tion (1023) of Shakespeare's plays, as wellasrieel f e o s r day a Book, of which everybody has heard and so ver y few have seen, which will, when finished, be purchased few pounds, and parts of it referring to each county sepa rately for sums varying from eight to 21s.
