The India Bill has passed through Committee, and the report will be brought up this evening. It will be brought before the Upper House within the present week. There will thus be ample time for their Lordships to bestow the full and complete consideration on the measure which its vast importance so eminently merits. The House of Commons greeted the virtual conclusion of its labours with much cheer ing, and there is every reason to hope that its i,ract:eal er:ctn - tertq may receive the Royal assent, and that Noble Lords and .1 - tight .I.l,:n.,ur able and Honourable Gentlemen may be per mitted to enjoy their holidays "by mountain lake, or sea," even before the end of the present month. The idea of proceeding by resolution was pecu liarly felicitous, and, as we predicted, has saved much time and trouble. The feelings and wishes of the House were carefully ascertained. There was no haphazard legislation—no proceeding with muffled vision. The salient points were carefully examined, and the course beat Calculated to advance the interests both of England and of India, eventually adopted. It is true that there was some delay in the first instance, but the sub sequent progress made ample amenas therefor. If it seemed to be slow to some impatient spirits, it was, unquestionably, sure, and there seems to be no reason to doubt that the bill, which caused so much excitement, and on which the Palmer atonians fervently hoped to discover a means of tripping up the Government, will be quietly passed into law without disturbance of any, kind. The factious opposition has, generally speaking, been withdrawn. There are, however, parties who still strive to excite the jealousy of the here. ditary legislators, by hinting that they have been slighted, in not receiving sufficient time for dis cussing the propositions. This is unmitigated nonsense, the mere ebullition of spite, engendered by the numerous and decisive defeats that the party have received. They cannot now wound or injure their opponents, but they can still rail and grumble--can give vent to their irritation in words, since they are unable to do so with more formidable weapons. That their Lordships gene rally, or many of their number, will follow the petulant suggestions, cannot for a moment be an ticipated. Although . j ustly jealous of their own dignity and independence, there is nothing in the present case to excite that jealousy. It was required that the bill should be introduced on or before the 15th July : it will be so nearly a week earlier ' Maw ratters of great importance, cal- culated to occasion prolonged discuss ion, have been brought forward at a later period of the session auu bye', 'uud.lly carried ; nnd th ere is cer tainly no reason why the Government of India Bill should not receive the indulgence w hich their Lordships have invariably been willing to accord to other measures. It was yesterday our painful duty to an nounce a temporary failure in laying down the .4 i.tlantic Submarine Telegraph. That it is only rem porary, we are convinced, but it may be neces ary to remind those prophets of evil, who rejoice in the calamity, that no truly great enterprise wErs ever accomplished without casualties. Every p Tecau tion that could be suggested had been taken. Nothing that could conduce to success had been omitted. Still that there has been a failure,, and that delay and expense will be occasioned thelcaby, is undoubted. But that cannot lead to the alas n donment of the glorious undertaking. The Haut.-1E had been twelve times defeated before his crown ing achievement at Bannockburn. He had bean a fugitive with a:price set on his head, but he kn ew the value of perseverance, and eventually tri umphed. Such unflinching perseverance, such indefatigable energy, is indispensable in any great undertaking, and the Directors are bound to dis play it if they desire to receive and merit the con fidence of their constituents. Bat they must profit by the salutary, although painful, lesson. They must look to the causes of failure, and see whether they cannot be removed. The separation of the cable into different vessels greatly enhanced the difficulty and risk of the undertaking. Even two ships, such as the Niagara and Agamemnon, were scarcely adequate to the gigantic task. They had not stowage-room either for their proportion of the cable, or for the neces sary coals. An admirable suggestion has been made by the Times, which we gladly insert in our columns. It suggests that the Leviathan, which could carry the whole cable from land to land, with an ample supply of coals, and any number of scientific per sons, should be resorted to. We insert the ipsissima verba of the leading journal. They are as follow : "The Leviathan is as yet only a shell. Except ing that it has not even its engines on board, it is exactly in that state to which, at great difficulty and cost, the Agamemnon and Niagara have been reduced for this service. In the Leviathan any length of cable that could possibly be required could be held and stowed in the manner most con venient for paying out. The pitch of that huge vessel will be quite inconsiderable in the roughest seas, and the strain on the cable will therefore be uniform. Sufficient length may be taken on board for the most lavish use of the cable, even to twic.9 the distance from one shore to the other. it is plain we must not be stingy of material, if we are to succeed. The ingenious writers who' enlighten the public on the wonders of the deep, tell us that currents carry the cable miles CY t of the ship's course before it touches the bottom ; that, ever so freely plyed out, the cable p.sobably hangs in festoons from one submarine mountain top to another ; and that, even if the cable is so fortunate as to escape the sharp edge of a prec.;pice, mere suspension between two distant points may stretch it beyond its strength. If this be sO, the more cable we have, within reason, the bette'r. No ship afloat but the Leviathan could carry am ample supply for the whole distance. It alone could carry coals suffi cient for paying out the whole cable at the rate of five, four, or three miles an hour, if necessary, and could afford, even in the midst of the process, to make any delays that might be thought ad visable." No addition is required to these conclusive arguments. The Leviathan can do ate work, and the Leviathan is fortunately idle at this moment, so that her services may be readily mule avail able. It will be an admirable opportunity for testing her capabilities. There is no el3borate fitting up that should be taken away before the commencement of the work. Everything is in the proper state for the double experiment. We need not expatiate on the extraordinary advantages to trade and commere from the oppor tunities of obtaining early, we might say instantaneous, information respecting the state of the transatlantic markets. On this point, the following observations of the Times will meet general approval. It says :—" If ono man could send an instantaneous mes sage across the Atlantic, he would speedily make his fortune at the expense of all the rest of the trade. If forty men divided the monopoly, those forty would divide the profits of the trade. Early intelligence is not enough. The earliest oppor tunity of sending messages and orders is not less necessary. Through the aid of our own columns every merchant in London might know the state of prices all over the United States, and, indeed, all over the whole American continent, every day, or every hour of the day ; but that knowledge would be unavailing if the merchant had not also the means of sending to his correspondents orders founded upon it. Hun dreds at both ends would be pressing not only to receive messages, but to send them ; and no doubt the great bulk,. perhaps 89-hundredths, of the me6sagud transmitted would be of this private and uninteresting character. One cable would not do it. The Leviathan might be constantly employed at the work, till cables enough had been laid down for the demands of commerce." Should this be correct, and we see not how it can be controverted, there is room for many companies, and the Leviathan may pay handsome dividends, although not in the way anticipated by its projectors. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION. —The Government emi grant ship Golconda, 1,124 tons, Capt. Dodson, sailed from Liverpool on Friday, the 2d inst., for Sydney, New South Wale?, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent John Carlton Bury, with 22 married couples, 149 single men, 134 single women, 21 boys between the ages of 1 and 12, 24 girls between the same ages. 5 female infants, and 1 male, making a total of 378 souls, equal to 3401- statute adults. DUTIES IN THE COLONIES.—A. return of the duties payable under colonial acts on goods imported into and exported from the British colonies was published yester d (in continuation of Parliamentary paper No. 285, of session 1856). It fills 62 pages. The authorities of Monte Video have ordered the working of the gas works from which the city is lighted to be discontinued, believing that the introduction of gas is in some way connected with the existence of yellow fever. --- LADY EfLIVER LYTTON.---We understand, moon good authority, that the friends of Lady Bulwer Lytton, who has recently been placed in a lunatic asylum near Lon don, are about to take steps to establish her sanity by an appeal to the legal tribunals of the country.—Merning Post. EXTRA MAIL TO INDIA.—The following notice wag issued from the General Pcst-office, yesterday, viz : " A mail for the Mediterranean, Egypt, the Mauritius, and India, will be made up in the General Post-office on the morning of the 10th inst., to be conveyed from South ampton in the Sultan steamer. AMERICAN LETTERS.—The steam-ship Kangaroo will sail from Liverpool fur New York on Weduesday with mails. Letters will be received at the Liverpool Post ffiee on that day till 1.45 p.m., and with late fees till 2pm. Tile Avon, which left Southampton on the 9th ult. with the outward Brazil mail, arrived at St. Vincent, Cape de Verde, on the morning of the 20th ult., to • days before her time • and the mar, which left Rio de Janeiro on th e Bth n i Tamar, with the homeward Brazil mail, arrived at St. Vincent on the 21st ult., three days before her time. The Avon was coaling when the Tamar ar rived, and it has never happened before that the outv svd and homeward Brazil steamers met at St. Vincent. The Tamar was placed in quarantine, and obliged to wait till the Avon had coaled. The Royal Mail Company are about to make arrangerneute to enable both steamers to coal at one time at St. Vincent. INTENDED VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO CHERBOURC. A Prn 4 s Ighir, in the Journal du Havre, says : "The Eniperu, .l is firs 7ritton from Plom bieres to Queen Victoria to invite her Majesty attend the fetes at Cherbourg ; and it is affirmed that the Queen has replied by telegraph that her Majesty accepts the invitation, and will be at Cher bourg on the 7th of August, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Earl of Malmesbury, Minister of Foreign Affairs. This news, of which we can gua rantee the bona fide character, proves that the un derstanding between France and England, if it were ever shaken, is at present as intimate as ever." coußr CIRCULAR. DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FOR ALDER- SHO f. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princesses Alice and Helena, left Buckingham Palace, at half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, for the Camp at Aldershot.

Sir Colin Campbell has promulgated the following general order to the army in the field, dated Camp, Bareilly, 10th May, 1858 : The Commander in. Chief has received the most gra cious commands of her Majesty the Queen to communi cate to the army the expression of the deep interest felt by the Queen in the exertions of the troops, and the successful progress of the campaign. Sir Colin Campbell has delayed giving execution to the Royal commands until he was able to announce to the army that the last stronghold of rebellion had fallen before the persevering attempts of the troops of her Majesty and the Hon. East India Company. It is impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to express adequately his sense of the high honour done to him in having been chosen by the Queen to convey her Ma jes.c'y's most gracious acknowledgments to the army, in the ranks of which he has passed his life. The dourna.nder-in-Chief ventures to quote the very words of till 9ueen : " That so many gallant, and brave, and distinguished men, beginning with one whose name will over be remem bered with pride, with Brigadier-General Havelock, should have died and fallen, is a great grief to the Queen. " To all European as well as native troops who have fought so nobly and so gallantly, and amongst whom the Queen is rejoiced to see the 93d, the Queen wishes Sir Colin to convey the expression of her great admiration and ,gratitude."

On Saturday the young earl, in charge of the usual attend ante, left Stafford-house for Lilleshall, the marquis's seat in Shropshire, and appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health. On Sunday he was attacked by illness, and according to a telegram received yesterday after noon from Lilleshall, expired yesterday morning. The earl was born in 1850, and his premature death ha s plunged the members of the noble house of Sutherland into the deepest grief. DEATH OF VISCOUNTESS FALKLAND. ---We regret to learn that Viscountess Falkland died on Friday night last after a short illness.

DEATH OF SIR THOS. War. BLOMEFIELD BART.—We have to record the demise of the above respected baronet, who died at Brighton on Wednesday last. Sir Thomas 4 was born March 4, 1791, and married Nov. 11, 1819, Salome, daughter of Mr. Samuel Kekewich, of Peamore, Devon. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father, Gen. Sir Thos.

The deputation consisted of Messrs. R. N. Fowler, L. A. Cheenerovz Edmund Fry, G .L. Neighbour, F. W. Chesson, and the Rev. H. Richard. The secretary read the memorial. The views of the deputation were urged by various speakers. Lord Carnarvon said that all the subjects to which the memorial had alluded were now under the serious consideration of Sir E. B. Lytton ; but he should not fail to direct his special attention to those parts of the memorial which related to West Africa and the Cope. With regard to the latter colony, be was happy to say that the intelligence received by the last mail was somewhat rc-assuring, and gave reason to hope that the hostilities between the Orange Free State and Moshesh would die out much sooner than had previously been anticipated. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S BANKRUPTCY BlLL—This bill covers 158 peges of paper, and contaitis 461 clauses. The followin; are the principal alteratiens proposed :- 1, The distinction between traders and non-traders is to be done away with. 2. The county coui t judges are to have the powers cf commissioners in bankruptcy, but their daties are not defined,. 3. The messengers and brokers are to be done away with, and their duties per formed by the official assignees end ushers. 4. The official assignee is to be paid by stdary for all such d u ti es as he performs in that capacity, but he may be appointed creditors' assignee if the creditors be so minded. 5 The creditors are to appoint an assignee of their own, and fix his remuneration, and they are also to appoint three in specter; to overlook and advise him. 6. The distinction in classification of certificates is abolished, but the com missioner is still to retain the power to deprive a debtor of a certificate, to suspend it, or to annex: conditions to it. 7. Estates may still be wound up under deeds of arrangement ; but this mode seems only applicable ' where all the creditors reside in Great Britain. 8. Bankrupts, for certain offences, are liable to imprison- • meat, and the commissioner has the powers of a magis trate to enable him to commit them for trial, ANNIVERSARY OP AMERICAN INDE,- P2ENDEI.VCE. The 82d anniversary of the declaration of the inclepen• deuce of the United States was celebrated by a banquet held last night at the London Tavern, and attended by about 150 American gentlemen resident in this metro polis. The banquet was presided over by General c 2. (..11 Ti... if nd Staten Comulot London, on whose right sat ...bit.. • The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, said that the event which they had met to celabrate was the poli tical natal day cf their country—a day the importance of which to the progress of the humaa race was not ex ceeded by any other sinco the commencement of the Christian era. (Cheers.) The feeling of every Ame rican citiz,:n towards the Government and the people of England was one of friendship and goodwill. The American nation had hitherto recognised England as the mother from whom they had sprung. But the day had at length arrived when the United States should regard Great Britain not so much as a mother as an elder and most cherished sister. (Cheers.) For each other's griefs they should sorrow, for each other's happiness they should strive, and in each other's successes they should heartily rejoice. (Cheers.) The gallant Chairman concluded by giving "The day we celebrate," which was drunk with much enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN nex':, gave "The President uf the United States," taking occasion to observe that though Mr. Buchanan had been elected upon a party platform, he had yet by his broadly national views, his wisdom, clergy, and fixedness of character, not only happily dis - posed of all sectional agitation, but brought his cont..- try through the Kansas, the Mormon, and the right of search difficulties. (Cheers.) Toe CHAIRMAN said the AmPricans wcre universedly distinguished for their appreciation of and their respect for the female character ; and he was convinced •chat every American present, and every loyal Euglisfraaan— anel where would they tied an Englishman who was not loyal ?—would join with heartfelt ple.i.sure in drinking the health of the highest lady in that land, who was an honour to her station, to her sex, and to her country, over which sha had shed innumerable blessings by the moral influence of her pure and ex, , Alted character. (Cheers.) He begged to give them "The health of Her Majesty Queen Victoria." The toast was received with au enthusiasm quite equal to that displayed by an assembly of Englishmen, the company remaining standing up while thu band played " God save the Queen." - The next toast, "To the memory of Washington," was drunk in solemn silence. The CHAIRMAN, in a complimentary speech, then gave " The health of Mr. Dallas, and the diplomatic repre• sentatives of the United States," which was greeted with loud applause. His Excellency Mr. DALLAS rose to acknowledge the toast, and was received with loud cheers. He said,—Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens, I had promised myself, in consequence of continued ill-health for some time past, to abstain from anything so exciting as public speaking; but it is, unfortunately, the 4th of July—(laughter) --and I find it impossible to remain silent on such a day after you have received the mention of my humble name so kindly and so cordially. A few years ago it would have been thought discourteous and intrusive had one or more American citizens ventured upon the celebration of the 4th of July, 1776, in the great city of London. The old wounds were still fee h, old feelings still survivee, and the citizens of the United States who were hero had the good taste as well as forbearance not to do that which might have been misconstrued so as to be disagreeable to those among whom they were residing. (Hear.) But now, gentlemen, we feel much more at ease. The principles of the American revolution have gone on conquering and to conquer. (Cheers.) They have received the ap probation, cordially but certainly, of all the wise and good in England as well as in the United States.. They have become perfectly well understood—they have beaten down the impressions of hostility which, being misunderstood, they originally created. The principles of the American revolution aro acceptable here as they are at home. (Cheers) The men of our heroic days— rue Washingtone, cur Jeffersons, our Madieons, and our heroes! in the battle-field, ar e known in England closest as well as they are in the United States, and are honoured as much here as 'there. (Cheers.) Tee progress, then, of the principles of the revolution of the United S ates has been striking, and has produced that to which I have already adverted—the propriety of our meeting to celebrate the origin of those principles in Loudon as well as elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) Do not for a 'aliment suppose that I am availing myself of a detached part of the tea.A just given in order to draw the conclusion that the recognition of those principles has been brought about in any degree by the diplomacy of the United States. ("Hear," and a laugh.) The truth is—and you are, per ' haps not aware of the fact—that we have no American diplomacy. (A. laugh.) In England and on the Conti nent diplomacy is a lifelong career. With us it is nothing of thesort. American diplomacy, compared with European d plomacy, may be likened to the militia as contrasted with the regular army. (Laughter.) To be sure, in the United Stetes,frorn the outset, we have always had a partiality for the militia. Hear, hear.) Oar first military achieve ments were gained by men among wh6tn were some of the rawest possible militia, (A. laugh.) And it has so happened, probably by accident, that our militia has over and over again proved equal to the best regulars of Europe. (Cheers.) It is in that way, pi rhaps, that the diplomacy of the United States has been able to do se me• thing towards giving expansion and popularity to the principles of the American revolution. Althoug,h our Ministers abroad have been drawn from the ranks of private and professional life, on very many occasions, at the most distinguished Courts of Europe and throughout the world, in conflict, or rather in argument, with the most refined diplomatists, of any country, those mili tiamen of diplomacy hand achieved remarkable sue ce-s. (Hear, hear.) I might refer, if I were dis posed to empty upon you the archives of the Ame rican Legatiou here or elsewhere—(a laugh)—to many striking instances of this kind ; and as I propose to cue elude my remarks by suggeoing a particular name to your approbation, it may be proper to say that the list of our American diplomatists, beginning with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Munro, and Wm. Whitney, includes a long array of illustrious " dipternatiste" who have left behind them a record of the most gloss ng and gratifying character. (Cheers.) At this very Court ssme of my predecessors may be compared to the very Lest of the drilled cohorts of European diplomacy. There is one little comment, which is to a certain exLent connected with American diplomacy, on which I will say a word. You know that we have recently had some little difficulties on the coasts of the United States and in the West Indian Sea—(Bear, hear)--a matter with which, as one of tire militiamen in the diplomacy of the United Stases, I was lately charged. Now, without referring to that question more closely, it is a point which is essentially connected with one of the fundamental principles of the American revolution—that principle being the necessity of maintaining on behalf of the great American people, as a great community, the i ul y like fei low on .con the . n in dependence cf their flag. (Cheers.) Well, I am Hot going to argue the question as to visit and search. It has been over and over again, for years back, 4tharguedo f and juiry to announce eel g u e d' But I to slir my trymsn that visit and search in regard to Am er i can vessels on the high seas in time of peace is fr an kly an d finally ended. (Tremendous cheering, the wh o l e com pany rising and manifesting the liveliest enth us i asm. ) While, gentlemen, I am able to announce this gratifying f a ct, I think it ought also to be accompanied by the assurance that the termination of that for which we have struggled for nearly half a century has been brought about with a degree of honourable candour and fair deal ing on the part of the British Government which is worthy of every acknowledgment en ear part. (Loud cheers.) With a view to draw these remarks to a close, I beg to offer you as a toast the name of one of the earliest representatives alike of the principles of the American revolution and of the constitution of the United States—l mean Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. (Laud cheers.) The toast was drunk in solemn silence. Mr. P. W. KENNARD then proposed "Young Anse riot and Old England, divided in 1776, united in 1858." l'she ite 7.? Te ores re 'Derided to the sentiment. He complained 7 • caricatured and misrepresented by the English press—a course which inevitably led to mutual irritation and estrangement. America and England must either be friends or foes; a medium attitude was impossible to them. India, Aus'ralia, Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, Perim, were some of the stolen gems that ornamented the British crown. If, then, Columbia cast admiring eyrie towards Cuba, Central America, Mexico, and the Sandwich Islands, she was only walking in the footprints of her illustrious predecessor. (Hear, hear, and a l aug h.) Esgland was the king of Filibusters—Hengist and Horse, the Saxon robbers, were her models. Are erica thus far was but a petty prince ; but when they Filibusa tered between themselves the devil would be the standard-bearer. (Laughter.) For many years it had been tne populir belief that America bad been using England's money. He thought they could turn the tables, and prove that England had been using America's money. Take one interest, their iron reads. While England had besn building her Houses of Parliament, America had completed 27,500 exiles of railway, costing in round numbers 300,000,0001. England during the same time, bad made but 9,000 miles, costing the same amount of money. Now, during the crisis, the entire debt of America to Eegland, Govern ment, State, city, corporation, railroad anti individual e eli , etione much of which was not due for 10 years, was 80,000,0001. Therefore the amount for roads paid by the Americans themselves was 22000,000/. Three per cent. on 80,000;000/. was but 2,500,0001. per annum. Let them reflect, and they would admit that America had been the golden egg. (Hear.) After d upon the intimate commercial and .moral ties which bound the two nations together, Mr. Trein concluded an elerpient address areid loud pplause. Among the other treats were "The Consular Service ' of the United States," " American Literature," " The Mtrettetile Marine of the United States," "The Mer cantile Marine of the Uhited Kingdom," &c. After e schausting a very long list of " eenti :rents" and spending a very convivial evening tie party broke up at a late hour. ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDTNCR.—As the 4th of July occurred this year on Sunday, the Ame:ica resident in Liverpool celebrated the annivert-ary of the declaration of American ludependtnct3 yesterday (\lon day).

The Empress bad accepted the invitation of Prince Jerome to dine at the palace, and numerous invitations were issued for the even ing. A brilliant display of fireworks took place on the terrace, which were visible at a great distance; A Paris letter dated Saturday, in the Nord, says : " I believe that I can affirm that, in the seventh confer ence held this day, Lord Cowley was to have presented a counter-project to that of France, relative to the reorgani sation of the Principalities. That document has teen drawn up with a view of conciliation, and in order to prevent any painful rupture, France having resolved on withdrawing in the event of the policy of Austria coutinu inr to dominate in the deliberations. The counter-project of England entirely sets aside the political union of the two provinces ; but it accords serious guarantees of .libeie,y, and establishes on more independent and national bases the central committee which is to unite the two Mold.o-Walla chian Divans, which committee is to be composed of mem bers elected by the two Danubian Assemblies. Ido not enter into longer details, but it will be seen that the pro ject of Lord Cowley approaches the ideas of the French Government. Surprise therefore need not be felt if the irritation which, for some days, prevailed amongst the plenipotentiaries has begun to calm down. Baron de Hub ner and Fund Pacha had on Friday a private conference of more then three hours' duration. The counter-project had been communicated to them, and they examined it in every respect. Austria has reflected on the consequences of the policy a outrancc which she has followed for some time, and before the meeting of the plenipotentiaries, the rumour was generally credited that, in the conference, Baron de Hubner would be much less difficult to treat with."

The Madrid Gaz,ette of the 30th ult. contains the Royal decrees which accept the resignations of the retiring and appoint the new Ministers. The first decree !is thus worded :—" I admit the resignation of the charges of President of the Council of Minis ters and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Colonies, presented to me by Don Javier de Isturitz, and I remain highly satisfied with the excellent services, the prudent zeal, and the loyalty with which he has fulfilled the said charges." This decree is countersigned by M. Posada Herrera, Minister of the Interior. The second is in these terms : "In consideration of the special qualities pos sessed by Captain-General of the army Leopoldo O'Donnell, Count de Lucena, senator of the king dom, I nominate him President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of War and the Colonies." Thi; is the first time that the colonies have been annexed to the War Department ; they have always heretofore formed part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The decrees accepting tha resignations of Gen. Ezpeleti, M. Fernandez de la Hoz, M. Ocana, and Count de Guendulain, as Ministers of War, Justice, Finance, and Public Works, express "much satisfaction with the zeal, loyalty, and intelli gence" which they had displayed. After the de crees appointing the successors to these gentlemen (their names have been given by telegraph) are two which say that resignations of the Ministers of J us tice and Marine offered by M. de Posada, Herrera and M. Que3ada are "not accepted" (this latter name was erroneously given in one of the tele graphic despatches as M. de Manesada). Lastly, there is a decree which charges the Count de Lu cena with the ad interim administration of Foreign Affairs. Most of the journals have articles on the change of ministry. The semi-official Corre.spon dencia says that the Queen has the fullest E:onfi deuce that the new cabinet will defend constitu tional ideas, maintain public order, and act in ac cordance with monarchical principles. The Iberia remarks that not a single Progressist figures in the new cabinet, and it says that that is a proof that the Prcgressists have have not abandoned their principles in order to adopt those of the Moderado party. It adds that the new cabinet will have neither system nor political ideas, and will produce no satisfactory results ; but it promises to await its acts in order to judge them with impartiality. The Espana says that the formation of the new ministry had occasioned general surprise ; and it also promises to await its acts before judging it ; but it declares that " the situation is critical," and that " circumstances require calm and prudence." The Clamor Publico expresses the opinion that O'Donnell would not have accepted power, if he had not been authorised to act in accordance with his well-known principles. It was believed that the Count de Lucena would make several changes amongst the Captains-General, and that he would send M. Istui itz to London as ambassador ; also that he would retain the Duke de Ossuna as Minis ter at St. Petersburg. It is noticed as a somewhat singular circumstance that Marshal o'l3:.nnell's return to power took place on the anniversary (the 30th June) of the day of the battle of Vicalvaro. A royal decree in the Gazette, countersigned by the ex-Minister o f War, enacts that the Commander of the Hallebardiers shall, if a Captain-General in the army, receive 120,000 real a-year, and if a Lieute nant-General, 90,000 ; it also sets forth a series of new regulations for that s)rps. " Advices from Revel state," says the Voss's c,f (r ,t , ,y, "that an insurrection has broken out in Esthonia, which 11,.ki d severll 1-n 4-1 pro - prietori to take refuge in the above-named town- A body of 60 troops, sent from Revel, were met by 1,000 peasants armed with sticks, pitchforks, and sharpened po!es. Al engagement took place in which 15 soldiers and 40 peasants were killed." The German journals a-e much occupied with the concentration of Turkish troops on the frontiers of Montenegro. Most think themselves justified in stating positively that France has officially testified the great displeasure which she should feel at the renewal of hostilities between the Turks and the Montenegrins. The Journal de Franefort 'goes so far as to say that the French Government has declared to the Porte that it should consider any fresh attack as a castes The Agrarn, Gazette contains the following intel ligence from Bosnia :—" Nothing h as l a t e l y t a k en place to justify the fears entertained by the rayahs of the vengeance of the Turks. The Paella of Bihat and other influential persons have succeeded in calming the Turks, but elements of discord still exist,• and, what is worse, are fomented by foreign agents. several strangers have visited the villages of the rayahs, and had endeavoured to provoke them to open the. campaign afresh. Their (~ - r-tions tions failed, however, and they all have taken their departure, with the exception of one individu a l, a Greek, who is still endeavouring to persuade the insurgent districts to march on Ottoka. The Paella of Bihat is rceanrvhile disarming the Christians. Bands of police scour the country and arrest every armed Christian, who is, however, immediately released after having been deprived of his weapon." Gazette, says : A Vienna letter, in the Cologne It is stated that the Duke de Melzi, received by ae Emperor of the French previowly to his departure for Plombieres, was charged to deliver to his Majesty a letter from the Archduke Ferdi nand-Maximilian, returning thanks for the invita tion given him to be present at the mance:lyres of the fleet at Cherbourg, and explaining the motives which prevented him from accepting it." Another Vienna letter, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" It is now reported that in the event of any hostile movement against Denmark on the part of the Germanic Confederation, neither Austrian nor Pi ussian troops will be employed, but th.-!

Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Wensiey da le entirely concurred. MOWATT V. BLAKE. This was an appeal from an order of the Master of Ore Rolls, relieving the plaintiff, Mr. Blake, from the purchase of 1,000 shares in the Portsmouth Railway Cnompany, on the ground of fraud. The Lord Chancellor said that the plaintiff had entirely Niled to make out a case of misrepresentation and fraud 'on the part of the appellant, in the sale of these shares to him. They were not sold to Lino as unappropriated or scrip shares. They were sold w allutted shares, and he either knew that or might have known it. Lord Brougham, Lord Cran worth, and Lord Wens leyda'e entirely concurred. The Lord Chancellor reversed the order of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs. M'MAHON V. SIR T. B.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder, THE ROBBERY AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. A. respectably-dressed man, named Dales, was indicted for stealing a parcel, containing 74 half•sovereigns and sbme silver, the property of the Eastern Caunties Rail 'way Company. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. T. Atkinson defended the prisoner. Mr. J. Scott, employed in the engineers' department, said, I made up a value parcel, containing 74 sovereigns and some silver. It was directed to Sommerleytown in Suffolk. I gave it to a boy, named Keeble, to carry to the parcel-office of the prisoner, who was a parcel porter at Stratford station. The prisoner keeps a book in which it is his duty to enter all parcels he receives. Sydney Keeble, a boy in the employ of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, raid, on the 11th of June last, I received a parcel from Mr. Scott, and, according to his direction, I went to the parcel's office with it. I did not see the prisoner but I gave it to his boy, Manser, who signed the parcels book. The parcel was a value pa reel. Cross-examined by Mr. Atkinson.—l am in the em ploy of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, They pay me 62. shillings a•week. My hours are from 6 to 9. All the value parcels are carried to the parcels office lay boys. They know the parcels contain money by the wards written on them. Charles Manser—l am subject to the authority of the prisoner. I receive parcels in his absence, and on his arriving at the office, I give them to him. When he (prisoner)l received value parcels he put them in his desk, of which he kept the key. On the 11th of June, I recollect receiving a parcel with the words "value parcel" written on it from Booble. I gave it to the prisoner on his return, and he then put it into his desk, and said it was all right. It was between four and five when I received the parcel. I signed the book brought by Keeble. On the 11th of June, there was no entry in his book as having received a value parcel. A short time after I heard that the parcel had been los'. The prisoner was present when certain inquiries were made respecting the lost value parcel, and he said I might have given him the parcel, but he did not recol les!:. Cross-examined--The room in which Dale's desk is fixed is visited by other persons. Any of the company's servants can go in. I had received directions from Dales always when I received a value parcel to enter it iu his book. I find no entry on the 11th of June. I had the value parcel about an hour in my possession. kept it in my pocket. I walked about with it. lam certain I gave Dales the parcel. When both of us are away from the parcel-office the key is hung up in the ticket office, which is frequented by other per . sons. I have hung the key up in the office sometimes, but Dales generally does Co. Re- mined—The key of the desk in Dale's office was' never hung up. The entry book is sometimes locked up. It I bad seen the book when I received the parcel I should have made the entry. Mr. Francorshon—l am station-keeper at Sommerley town. I ought in the usual course to have received a parcel on the 12th of June, containing the money to pay the men's wages. The parcel ought to have arrived in the morning. Cross.examined—l am assisted by a p3rson named Lacy. He and myself are , the only persons at the station. In my absence Lacy would receive any parcel, but he would give a signature. Lacy was present at the station on the 12th of Jane. I don't think I was absent at all on the morning of the 12th. Wells, the night inspector of the Stratford station, said on the night of the 11th of June no person entered Dale's office after he loft. Charles Copping—l was the guard of the train that ought to have taken the parcel to Sommerleyt)wn. I did not receive a value parcel from the • pri9ener on the 11th of June. I did not see Dales at the time. Whenever the prisoner gave me a value parcel he always took my signature. There is no signature of mine in Dales's book on the 11th of June as having re ceived a value parcel. Thomas Morgan—l was guard of the train that fol. lowed Copping's on the 11th of June. I did not receive a value parcel from him. If I had my signature would appear in his book. Mr. Kemp, the police superintendent of the line, gave evidence as to an inquiry which was instituted in conse quence of the lost parcel. He said he told the prisoner the parcel had been already traced to him, and he re marked he could not Bay the parcel was not given to him, but if he had received any such he must have sent it on to its destination. Mr. Atkinson having addressed the jury for the pri soner, who bore an excellent character, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant•) UTTERING COUNTERFRIT COIN. James Davis, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit flAn, with intent to defraud Richard lades. iL r 1 Medefq, a v‘.ndor of pie., said that on the 13th of June he was at Greentolu-glew., tilt) prig sae,. came up to him and bought a pia, and paid for it with a florin, which Modes afterwards took to a beer-shop and there it was declared to be a bad one. On searching the prisoner two other bad shillings were discovered. He had also 18.?. in slaver and some copper money on his person. _ . -.• The prisoner said he became pogsa , sed of the ,bad money in getting change for a sovereign ; he received a good character. The Common Sergeant, in summing up, remarked that the suspicious circumstance against the prisoner was that he paid for the penny pie with a florin, which happened to be bad, while he had a quantity of copper money in his possession. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard hbour. Jane Williams, a girl about 17 years of age, was in dicted for uttering a counteife;t crown-piece with intent t &fraud the Postmaster-General. From the evidence, it appeared that about a month ago a girl came t.) the office at Charing•cross and asked for 6e. worth of postage stamps. On that occasion two half-crowns were placed upon the couater with a genuine shilling on the tote of them, and owing to this circumstance the fraud succeeded. In a few days after wards the prisoner entered the office and asked for a similar number of postage stamps, and in payment she placed a crown-pieta on the county and covered it with a good chilling. The crown-piece turned out to be a bad one, and the voice of the girl being recognised as the person who had passed the bad half-crowns, she was given into custody. The jory found the prisoner guilty; and a former con viction having been proved, she was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW CALEDONIA.—A. new.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—John Lloyd Lannon, a re spewable looking man, was charged under the following eingular circumstances : Ann Brightman, servant to Mrs. King, widow, of 32, Half-Moen•street, said the prisoner came to the house about seven o'clock on the previous evening, and asked what apartmens were to let. She showed him them and told him the price was two guineas a week. Ile gai , l ha could not give more than it. 15s. She said she could not tabu that as i s !-_ - .i:i`recs was cro• ITH than asked for water to wash his bands, and after wards asked for some mutton chops and tea, and she supplied him with some tea and eggs and ham. He said he wanted to stop at once as he had just come from Scotland. When her mistress came home she asked her to go up to the prisoner, and soon after she heard a loud noise, and the prisoner say, " You'll murder use for Gd." The prisoner asked the witness if she knew the obli gation of an oatb, and as the witness said she did, but could not clearly explain, the prisoner said he should not ask her any more questions, but put at least.fifty to her, most of them being totally irrelevant, and many of an impertinent nature. Mrs. King was then called and, said that on entering the room by request of her servant, the prisoner said his name was Lanslett, and gave as a reference the name of Sir Thos. Forbes, Clapham Common. A gentleman who had been out with her for a walk bearing an alter cation, owing to her being dissatisfied with prisoner, came up, and the prisoner then began abusing him, and using the most insulting language. He went to the window, opened it and began addressing the people, and created a mob round the door. Witness went for the assistance of a neighbour, and there heard he was turned out of .No. 3, Cottage -street. She sent for a policeman and gave him into custody. The prisoner here subjected this witness to a similar cross-examination, he having taken notes while she was giving her evidence, till at last he was nearly exhausted, and then desisted, the witness having barne with much patience the innumerable and rediculcus questions put to her. The gentleman was called and corroborated the lad witneEs. The prisoner then entered into a long rambling de• fence, at the conclusion of which Mr. Baadon said no one would ba surprised that had heard the case when they knew the prisoner had had six monthsfor swindling and that ho had also been charged with insulting females in the streets. He should order him to find 2 respecta ble householders to become bail for him in 501. each, and himself in 1001. The case lasted nearly two hours and excited great interest. THAMES INGENIOUS SIIIIGaLING.—Stephen Staup,bton, a young gentleman, living at Buda Lodge, Roupell-park, Brixton Hill, Surrey, waq brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling three pounds and two ounces of foreign manufactured tobacco, the duty on which bad not been fiat paid, and with intent to defraud her Majesty the Queen. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joseph Hicks, a tide surveyor, that on the arrival of the Dolphin steamer from Antwerp, at the St. Katherine's Wharf, the ptisoner who was a passenger on board was asked if he had anything about him liable to duty, and replied by taking from his chest 25 cigars which he banded to the officer, and said that was all he had. The officer searched his cheat, and finding the interior not so deep as the exterior, succeeded in removing a false bottom, under which he discovered upwards of 300 cigars, weigh ing 3 2 ounce'. The false bottom was ingeniously. constructed, and if the officer had not measured the in side and outside of the chest, the cigars would not have been discovered. Mr. Yardley—What is the duty upon the cigars ? Hicks—The duty is a prohibitory one, 9s. 6d. per pound. That is the duty on all foreign manufactured tobacco. The defendant said what the officer had stated was quite true. He intended the cigars for his own use. Mr. Yardley—No doubt of it, Mr. Haughton, but you ought not to have concealed them. You should have paid the duty upon them. I fine you 4/. The penalty was immediately paid. AMERICAN REVENGE. —Thomas Clark, a seaman be longing to the American ship, Southampton, lying in the East India Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing James Trainer. It - appeared that the prosecutor, who came to London in the ship American Congress, had been staying with a prostitute in an infamous house, 4, Elbow-lane, Shad well, and be quarrelled with the prisoner a week ago and beat him. The prisoner determined to be revenged and armed himself with a knife, with which he attacked the prosecutor as he was standing outside the Crooked Billet public-house, in King David-lane, Shadwell, and made three . stabs at him, but only ono took effect. The complainant was stabbed in the thigh, and he lost a good deal of blood. There was also a scar on the man's cheek. He bad a narrow esape of being killed. The prisoner made a blow at the prosecutor, which struck the clasp of a belt he was wearing, and broke it. The prisoner, a rough-looking fellow who wore nothing but his trousers and shirt, said the prosecutor had beea in the practca of staying on shore for six months or more when be came fro►a New York, and lived with. prostitutes. Trainer was also in the practice of beating seamen who would not give him money. Mr. Yard y had no doubt that Trainer was a profli gate bl ckguard. but he could not permit such atrocities in the streets of London. The prisoner had no right to wreak his vengeance on Clark as he had done. He fined the prisoner 31., and in default of payment, one month's itopriseriraeet, The young King of Oude has arrived in Paris with the object of building a tomb to the late Queen.
