A. very brilliant spectacle is, even while we are writing, taking place at Cherbourg. There is a friendly and cordial grntiog between the Sovereigns of the two greatest nations of the civilised world— nations that have been opposed to each other in war, each recognising in the other a worthy opponent, but who have also stood side by side on the battle field, and shown that the steady and unflinching bravery invariably displayed was worthy of the highest commendation. They have tried each other both as friends and foes, and have, in both capaci ties, cause for mutual respect. For many years we have been in the former, and let us earnestly hope that nothing may disturb the amicable relations so happily subsisting between us. Any war is bad, but one between England and France is the worst that could by any possibility occur, so far as the interests of humanity and civilisation were concerned. The occasion is a remarkable one. It is the inau guration of a great work which has occupied the at tention of a triad of dynasties, and which has at length been completed. It has been represented as "a standing menace to England," and that, conse- quently, our Sovereign and fellow-citizens who have been enabled to avail themsalve3 of the falilities for participating in the fete should have held themselves aloof from the demonstration. Away with the un- worthy thought ! GOD forbid that any true-hearted Englishman should permit himself to be influenced by such contemptible notions. 'We rejoice at every thing calculated to promote the welfare and pros rerity of our neighbours, and—despite the blustering of a few colonels—we will add friends. So long as the Union-Jack and Tricolor float side by side, and the Sailors andsoldiers are only animated by a friendly rivalry, every addition to the power of France will lie favourable to ourselves ; but should it unfortu nately be otherwise—should hostilities once more break out between the Great Powers of Western Europe (die avertita omen)—we shall not shrink from anything that increased the strength we were bound to grapple with. It would be an un-British spirit that would seek to weaken our opponent on the cve of an impending conflict ; and the nation should not feel a jealousy which one of its citizens would be ashamed to confess. Truly, sincerely, and fervently, then, we wish good luck to the magnificent undertaking which has just been accomplished. We may trust that it will never be exercised agrinst British interests ; but if it should be so, we must be ready to meet the result, and to prove ourselves equal to any force that may be arrayed against us. When a pair of British pugi lists enter the ring and toe the scratch, the last ex pression before the encounter is, " May the best Mail win." And deeply as we should regret a conflict with France, we should never quail from the conse quences, notwithstanding the completion of Cher bourg, and the immense power of the naval squadron there assembled. As we have already stated, the Emperor NAPO LEON had a perfect right to complete, in his own dominions, the works so long commenced. We should not receive very patiently any remonstranc:s on the subject of stiengthening Portsmouth, adding to our Fleet, or constructing new works at Alder ney. Why, then, should a difErent measure be meeted to France ? The howls and whines that have been bellowed, or grunted forth, are totally unworthy of British journalism ; nor are they in accordance with British feelings cr opinions, and might occasion the danger they profess to complain of. On Tuesday, the EMPEROR and EMPRESS left St. Cloud, and safely arrived at Cherbourg the same evening. Yesterday her Majesty Queen VICTORIA and the nince Consort started, and arrived between six and sevcnlast evening. They were cor dially greeted by the \Owl,: of the French fleet and forts. They were attended by what may be termed " a naval guard of honour ;" nothing in tended as a menace, but aeill something worthy of the British name. The Duke of MALA- KnoFr went in the Royal Albert, with his old friend, Lord LYONS. A large number of the popular representatives went in the Fera. And there will altogether be a very brilliant reunion. We trust sincerely that the frank cordiality dis played by the QUEEN and People of Great Britain will be fully reciprocated by the EMPEROR of the FRENCII and his subjects. The beneficent institution established many gene rations back by good EDWARD ALLEYNE, the Player, down yonder in that picturesque suburban retreat at Dulwich, having long ago proved a failure, so far as the realization of his original design was concerned, we are rejoiced more than we can well say in a few words at the recent inauguration of the bene volent scheme for the foundation of a Dramatic c o llev. The cordiality with which the pro position has been at once greeted on all hands, but more particularly by the profession whose in terests it will most surely tend to conserve and foster, affords indication point blank of the ex cellence of the design sketched out by the principal originator as the ground plan or basis of precisely such an establishment. That principal originator of the project of this Dramatic College—the EDWAR D ALLETNE of this generation in all save histronic genius and temperament--i:=, as many appreciative thousands know very well by this time HENRY Donn, Esq., a private gentleman, who has sponta neously set the whole kindly scheme afoot by volun teering the gift of so many acres of land u p o n which the intended structure is to be erected, together with the donation of a hundred guineas towards defraying the expenses of building up the Dramatic College from its foundations.

A kindred demonstration took place some two or three years back on the stage of the Haymarket, we perfectly we l d remember to have been presided over by -our English Le Sage—a meeting convened for the purpose of laying bare the grievous mismanagent of ALLEYNE's richly endowed institution hard by the Dulwich Gallery. That assemblage has unquestionably in some sort led to the one presided ever only so very recently by Mr. CHARLES KEAN at the home of the Drama of which he is at once the most accomplished artist and the efficient and energetic manager. Conspicuous amongst those who have evinced a more peculiar zeal in furthering the new design of the Dramatic College have been the very men who aided most directy the efforts made towards the reorganisation of the old but alas now, to all intents and purposes for the most part obsolete establishmentof the like kind. Failing in the endeavour to put an end to a glaring abuse and a really monstrous anomaly in regard to ALLEYNE'S College, at Dulwich, the promoters of that well-intentioned agitation have worked round at last by a kind of logical sequence to a far grander design than that originally planned by them in the midst of their most sanguine anticipations. That design is no longer merely to reorganise an ancient but misma naged institution, but to establish a perfectly new one upon far broader and far more secure founda tions. Honour and success to them! And a speedy fulfilment of their brightest hopes in regard to the ew Dramatic College ! Our great contemporary is deeply concerned for the QUEEN'S English ; not because German may be presumed to be the favourite language of the Royal nursery or closet, and the language some day of our married Princesses, perhaps of our married Princes too; but because her present Ministers are putting corrupt English into the Ro3 al mouth. We are not perhaps quite correct—the Times expresses its " un affected thankfulness" that her MAJESTY'S lips had not been insulted with the utterance of the Speech " advised" by her Ministers. It was qaite right for the Times to apprise us of its " unaffectedness." For the sake of a large number of hasty or unreflect- ing readers, we hope it will keep up the practic; dis tinguishing by the word " unaffected" all such articles as express its real emotions—unless, indeed, the danger should arise of the readers suspecting that the Times " doth prote3t too much." " The QUEEN'S English," says our deploring, yet " unaffectedly thankful" contemporary, is prover bially ill-used ; nevlr more so than yesterday. What would old COBBETT, of whose ghost the unaffected writer professes to stand in awe, have said to such confusion of his " Times of the verb" ? We can fancy him writing somewhat to this effect—" My dear little JAMES—Queen's speeches are composed by so many persons, are read, and read again, and so forth—they ought, therefore, to be models of gram matical correctness—Articles in the Times are writ- ten by able penmen in daily practice, who generally, as in this case, have had the short Speech many hours in their bands before they write upon it. They may be expected to write with grammatical correct ness generally, but we may especially look for it from them when they devote a whole first leader to criticising the language of her MAJESTY and her ad visers. Turn, then, to the Times of August 3d, and you will find the sentence on which I wish to make a remark or two. You will have no difficulty in find ing it, for it is the very first sentence of tbe gram matical lecture to the Cabinet. You will see that the second clause in the sentence has no verb. Ino not object to a pro - ter ellipsis, as I have already shown you ; but you, my dear little JAMES, know better than to write with ellipsis when supplying the ellipsis would make nonsense. Fill up this sentence, and our Gracious QUEEN would be made to say—` The QUEEN'SEnglish is proverbially ill used,never more so than it is yesterday.' For you know you cannot sup ply a time' from a preceding clause which was not there. We know what the Times meant, but that is c not sufficient in the case of a critic of a QUEEN'S speech. The meaning of a critic ought to be gram matically, if not elegantly, expressed." In the second sentence we had doubts, similar to those entertained by the critic, about certain words and phrases in the geEEN's Speech, respecting the good taste of " itnprzssions of thankfulness on read- ' the .Speceh." Impressions from reading or from any other cause acting on the mind would seem quite natural to us ; but " impressions on," if we kept in view, as exact writers prefer to do in the construc tion of sentences, the physical and etymological meaning of the words, would suggest that we had impressed thankfulness on the reading Nor do we quite like the growing substitution of this word for " feelings" or " emotions." Feelings or emotions of thankfulness we must think to be better QUEEN'S English. "Who does these things?" the critic exclaims imme diately afterwards. Now we should not have thought much of this licence, had he not been so very wroth further on with the writers of the QUEEN'S speech for not making relatives and antecedents strictly corre spond. He must expect to have his own measure used in meting out censure to him ; and what plural antecedent, we may ask, is there to " these?" We have read before of but one Thing—" Her MAJESTY'S message." There is positively nothing else to which " these thing," can, according to the sense, refer. " Her MAJESTY'S lips," we presume, and the " im pressions of unaffected thankfulness," could not be " things done" by any one. Again, we confess with the old Radical, that we know what the oracle means; but oracles, nowadays, should speak grammatically, especially when taking others to task for not doing so. In a sentence a little further on we must pro fess that, smoothly as it reads, we are not absolutely sure, even after reading it several times, whether, when the writer asks, "Is anybody at all answerable for them ?" the " them" refers to persons or to things. We think we guess what is intended, but why should we have to guess the meaning of a person writing verbal criticism ? Let our readers try their skill. "'Who does these things ? To what rank of office do they belong ? Is anybody at all answerable for them, or is direct authorship dexter ously avoided ?" The pronouns might refer to " these things" throughout; but, if so, how awkward the question "to what rank of office do they belong ?" It may be asked of things, to be sure; but nine readers out of ten would immediately think of persons, for getting that "who," in the first sentence, is followed by a singular verb; while, again, they would be " in a haze" with the next question, hardly referring " them" to persons there. But we must not follow too long the example of our critical contemporary, in his exercises on Con- BETT. We confess he had considerable provocation to evoke the sprit of the censor of Kings' Speeches and the despatches of great generals. Possibly, however, the very circumstances which, it is presumed, should insure correctness in a Royal Speech are just those which interfere with it. Whoever has had to draw up any document for a committee must have found that after discussion, and altering this, withdrawing that, here qualifying a little, and there adding a sen tence or two, be could hardly trust himself to say whether the whole was sense and grammar or not. A well-known old proverb, in which M. SOYER, we are sure, believes, is thoroughly applicable here; and probably cur critic hirmelf would not like to be answiqablo for an article which he had to work into shape after the suggestion of fifty amendments. At any rate, we have seen few Royal Speeches which would bear a minute criticism. One of the very worst we recollect was delivered by her MAJESTY herself; by the advice, too, of Lord PALMERSTON ! The " Spy System" is really becomiug something fearful in this country. LTn-English as the habit is, men are gradually lending themselves to it. We °LIU° POW speak of G9Atinvattil police, or trying tp make a man condemn himself out of his own mouth. We are going further in the same way, ourselves. The party may not be interrogated in the name of the law by a public, functionary, but he will be pumpyl by a policeman pretending to be a prisoner, and duly handcuffed to keep up the cha racter. There are detectives ready for any work, however dirty or sneaking. If a man, bit by the green-eyed monster, conceives a jealousy- of his innocent wife, he can have her watched night and day, and her most secret proceedings chronicled. A husband may also watched—if he is in trade, a record kept by the so-called protection societies of all his acts. These things are dcfcndcd ; but, as we have already stated, they arc opposed to every Bri tish principle and British feeling. We should deter mine to act in the constitutional spirit exhibited by the venerable judges of the land, and in every in stance that occurs repudiate the " spy system" in whatever form it may be brought under our notice. On Tuesday, a man named RICHARD RASALEICH was tried at Bodmin, the chief evidence against him being that of a policeman, who got himself hand- cuffed and placed in the same cell in order to worm out his secret, or, as he himself declared, "to -find out if there was any other party connected with the prisoner." Baron WATSON commented with just indignation on this extraordinary proceeding, wisere a man went under false pretences to a prisoner. A magistrate should caution a pri soner, but a policeman led him, and might pos sibly be inclined to strengthen the unfavourable points. Policemen have, generally speaking, a quick, lively, and technical sense of guilt. They reverse the sound axiom of the British law, and are disposed to consider " every man guilty until hi. innocence is established." They seek to communicate their own suspicions to the jury, and too often look upon the conviction of an innocent prisoner as a triumph of their art. It is true that all the fallacies that have been ut tered on this subject should be disregarded. Men should not be unnecessarily tempted into crime, traps should not be laid for their reception, nor should there be a perpetu.d watch kept in order to ascertain whether sme error or wrongful act may be discovered. Let Englishmen act in a becoming manner, and get rid of the entire tribe, whose business it is to create mis chief and litigation. If they benefit by information thus unfairly obtained, they may rest rsurcd that they themselves will be victimised in turn. Al though conscious of perfect innocence, they wil l not like to have all their private habits ferretted out and duly recorded to satisfy the curiosity of neigh bours.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Monday evening, by Mr. Rutter, county coroner, on the body of John Dooley, aged 21, a dyer, living in Rowhill-square, who was killed whilst attempting to ' cross the railway at the Ordsal-lane Station, Manchester, on Sunday morning. The principal witness was John Hart, one of the gatekeepers at the Ordeall-lane Station, where there is a level crossing. He stated that he was on night duty on Saturday night, and that about seven minutes after one o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the de- \ ceased running at a rapid pace down Ordsal•laae towards the crossing. At that moment witness saw the mail train, which leaves the Victoria Station at one o'clock, approach ing, and he waved bis lamp towards the deceased, at the same time shouting to him to stop. He continued, how ever, to rue forwards, and as the train bad arrived almost close to the station, witness held out his arms to keep him ' hock. Upon this he left the footpath upon which he had 1 been running, and proceeded on the roadway towards the rails, from which he was distant the n only a few yards. After hesitating for a moment be attempted to cross tic line, hut the balers of the train struck him, throwing him forward, and the fire-box coming in contact with his body, it was badly mutilated. The engine-driver and the fire man, when close to the station, saw the deceased on the rails, and did their best to save his life by Pounding the danger whistle and stopping the train, but be appeared to take no notice, and although the steam was immediately shut off and the brakes applied, the train could not be stopped until it had pat , sed over him and partly entered the station. When taken up the deceased's body smelt strongly of beer, and it was ascertained from his wife that he came home intoxicated at 11 o'clock on Saturday night, that he afterwards drank more beer, and that about one o'clock on Sunday morning he left his house with the intention of going to his sister-in-law, in Regent-road, to invite her to dinner on that day. It was while on his way to her house that the accident occurred by which he lost his life. During the inquiry, it was stated that during the day four gatekeepers are stationed at the Ordsdal lane crossing, and two at night. The gates on each side leading from the cart road are nasally left open, but they are not used by foot passengers. On this occasion the deceased left the footpath, and ran thr ugh the large gate used for carts, which was then open. The gateman on the opposite side witnessed the accident, and eorrohorate,l the evidence of Hart as to his ' having wed every eir,rt to prevent the deceased from cr.ss t ing. The jety returntd a verdict of accidental death, hut . animadverted very strongly upon the dangerous condition of Ibis crossing, and requested the coroner to lay the matter before the railway department of the Board of Trade, with a sugazestion that a new road, to supersede the level creasing over the line, shoald be carried underneath the railway.— I Manchester Guardian. " GOUGH V. LEES."—Having recently mentioned the current report, whiei had appeared in various news papers, that ill the recent trial of Gough v. Lees the counsel fur the latter had consented to the vertifet wi'liout the authority of his cheat, we have been requested, in justice to the barrister referred to, to publish the fuilowing letter ad dressed by him to a resident of Manchester, in answer to one ( f inquiry as to the fact :—" Mitilaad Circuit, Derhy,27th July. Sir,---I had heard, but not seen in print, that Dr. Lees has stated that the course taken by me on his behalf on the trial of the action by Mr. Gongtt, was without his authority. Inasmuch as he was in court, sitting under me, and I took the course I did after repeated communications with him, and ultimately with his assent (without which I could bare done nothing), I did not regard the reports I heard of what others bad read in newspapers, which I did notice, as of any moment. I have had no communication from Ur. Lees, or any person an his behalf, since the trial. The imputation that I acted otherwise than out of a simple regard to the interests of Dr. Lees, or with any under standing with Mr. James Inconsistent with my duty to my client, is one which I do not think it worth my while to combat, and which I am sure would not be attempted to be put upon me in the presence of any to whom I am known. The mere fact is, that, in common with two emi nent members of the bar, who_ were associated with me in Dr. Lee's defence, I was of opinion that to persist in endeavouring to justify, with the evidence we had, the libels complained of, would have resulted in a verdict fur an amount of damages which would have been absolutely disastrous to Dr. Lees ; and I urged upon him most strongly the propriety of withdrawing from the case in the manner adopted—unless, indeed, the parsons who seemed to Ne aiding him in the matter were prepared to pay for him any amount of damages, with costs, that the jury might award. Otherwise, if Dr. Lees were not in n condition to protect himself', by payment out of his own resources, from the consequence of an adverse verdict, his only resort would be the Insolvent Court, where lie would infallibly incur a lengthened term of imprisonment before he could be dis charged from a debt so incurred. These considerations were strongly urged by me upon Dr. Lees, and ultimately his consent was given that I should withdram frcm the further defence of the case. If I had failed in inducing Dr. Lees to conform himself to my advice, I should have had no choice but to proceed ; but my first duty was to tnke care, if I could, that my client should not, by overcredu lowness in his own case, and by inexperience of the probable chances of a trial a t law, be betra yed into his pecuniary ruin. I am, 1 mla:yottimia% givenperce s ive, O w ti ta r s i u ti b n 3 gi , n a v i - a t ib ry g reat haste ; but I believe the information you require.-1 am, air, very ebediently, KENNETH MACA ITLAY. Y.S.—Understand that I had and have nn opinion whether Mr. Gough was or was not liable to the charges made by Dr. Lees; but the ground of my advice to Dr. Lees was, that he was Not provided with any thing like adequate proof for the purpose of his defence.

DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY. COWES, AUG. 4 People here were early on the qui vice this morn ing to witness the Queen's departure for Cherbourg; but as the only way by which they could be enabled to gratify their curiosity was by taking a boat and going round to Osborne, and as the time for the start was considered to be very uncertain, but few persons witnessed the interesting event. The fleet, it was stated, left Spithead at 4 a.m., and proceeded down Channel. A small squadron, however, was off Osborne this morning, including the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, her tender, the Fairy, the Osborne, and others ; and shortly after 10 o'clock some of these got under weigh and proceeded down the Solent to the west ward. The Osborne was the first to leave, and she was followed down by the Black Eagle, Admiralty vessel; then went the Fairy and the Fire Queen, leaving the stately royal yacht attended only by the little Trinity vessel. Just before noon the barge of the royal yacht was rowed across to the landing-place on the beach be low the royal mansion, and her Majesty, who was attired in a light-coloured costume, accom panied by the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge, arrived from Osborne House i❑ a pony carriage, and immediately stepped on b: and the barge of the royal yacht, which, steered by the captain of the noble vessel, the lion. Joseph Denman, as " her Majesty's cockswain," was soon alongside the vessel, which was lying a short distance elf. M soon as the royal patty were on board, the Victoria and Albert steamed away towards Cowes, on their way through the Needles passage to the coast of France, with the Admiralty flag at the fore, the royal standard at the main, and the jack at the mizen.

A NEIN- PEER.--It has for s ome time p ast been rumoured in legal circles that t he Earl of Derby has been desirous of raising to the peervge that eminent man and really great lawyer, Knight Bruce; and from all we hear, we believe no step which the present Government could take would redound more to their popularity than this one. ;The !armed Lord Justice has gained f or him self during the time he has occup i ed his p r e sent seat a character fur p. am plit u de and clearness of decis io n which has never b een sur p asse d by any equity lawyer of this or the past generatin. It is quite evident that. Lord Derby most, during his tenure of odic:, make some addition to the number of law lord,: in the upper house. It is true we can boast of a goodly array at the moment, for in stance—we have Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord St. Leonardo, lard Wensleydale, and last, thour-th not least, Lord Chelmsford ; but if we utistake not, the youngest o f th e se great legal luminaries Is ad vanced on the shady s id e of sixty, and more than one on the wrong side of eighty. It is, therefore. quite evide nt, if we are to preserve the ch ara cter of the High Court o f App eal in its integrity, so me thi ng must be dove to relieve the aged members who preside over its legal decision , i from the very fatiguing duties which they have now to and ergo, cad we therefore, venture to hope that the re lour to which we give extended pohiteity i n n ot wialout foundation.—Natal and 1 U : il:tary ilaalcl. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, AUG. 3. The dx, 'e assion upon the proposed measure of the Governme.lt for the fortifications of Antwerp was resumed th,'s day in the Chamber of Representatives, having been Adjourned from Saturday last, when the following :pea kers were heard : M. Allard, who had deposited an amendment on be table, the ob j ect of which was to authorise the Government to establish round Antwerp a series of advanced forts, at a cost for their construction of 5,890,000 francs, observed that when those works were finished, the present „actual enceinte might be 'lcstroyed. M. Loos, the burgomaster• and representative of Antwerp, then proceard to reply to the Minister of Finance, who had spoken at the previous sitting. The Minister had said that the Municipality of Ant- werp had augmented their demands, even as new concessions had been made by the military authori ties, and that the city of Antwerp had never made any serious offers to participate in the expense of the works about bein g ; undertaken in its own interest. M. Loos, however, contended that the offers made by the city of Antwerp were both serious and ade quate ones. Antwerp proposed to guarantee to the State a sum of twelve millions for the repurchase of the lands occupied by the existing enceinte, of which it demanded the demolition. lle thought that the projct ought to be postponel, because he considered that the subject itself WhS not as yet ripe for con sideration. The military authorities of the country had declared against such a measure, and Gen. Renard, the royal commissioner, himself had, in 1855, opposed the projet, while submitting himself a projet of a general enlargement. Gen. Renard hereupon rose and denied the asser ion of the representative for Antwerp in the most emphatic terms. Considerable agitation and an angry conversation then took place. The President called Gen. Renard to order, when ;he royal commissioner withdrew the unparliarnen ary expression which had escaped his lips. An incidental discussion after wards .;lose, resulted in a reference to the actual language used in 1855 by Gen. Renard. It appeared that the general had at that time pronounced in favour of a partial enlargement of the city by extending the commune of Borgerhout only. M. Dolcz then proceeded to advocate the Govern ment projet de loi and to oppose the proposition of adjournment. He said that, seeing as Ministers now the men who had saved the country in 1848, he was induced to give every confidence to the establishment of that system in supporting which they declared their readiness to take the responsibility of securing the defence of the country. M. Veydt proposed an amemdment, the object of which was to adjourn the debate until the first sitting of the Chamber in January next. The discussion was then postponed. The excitement occasioned by the discussion of this question is assuming a somewhat serious and threatening aspect throughout the country, more especially iu Antwerp itself, as may be judged by the following facts. A great manifestation took place at Antwerp on Saturday night in honour of M. Loos, the burgomaster and representative of that city in the Legislative Chamber of Brussels, the object being to give him a testimony of the public esteem and gratitude for the attitude he had assumed in opposition to the Government projet de loi regard ing the fortifications of Antwerp. The Union Com merciale, speaking on this subject, says :—" We cal culate, without exaggeration, that 20,000 persons took part in this manifestation. Before nine o'clock at night the crowd assembled in the neighbourhood of the railway station in expectation of the arrival of M. Loos by the train, which was, however, not due until 10 o'clock. Having waited until the last train had arrived, and being satisfied that their representative was not one of the passengers, the people formed themselves into an immense column and proceeded, with the bands of Berchem and Saint Willebrord at their head, towards the residence of the Burgomaster of Antwerp. The cries of Vise le Bourgniestre ! Vivent les deputes! A bas les fort cations ! were mingled with the music of the national air La Brabanconne.' Not one seditious expression, was, however, uttered—not a reprehensible act was committed. The Antwerp population confined them selves to the manifestation of their opinion—they have done so with that dignity and strength that are becoming a just cause." The same journal adds— " That manifestation has had also its pleasant side. In the midst of the calm of the Antwerp population, a journal of the city, which is the only defender of the project of making Antwerp a vast Lasalle, has exhibited such feverish restlessness as to require the protection of an armed force. The following are the strategical steps taken by the corps that has been called upon to defend the bureau of the Precurseur of Antwerp : " Two companies of the 2d Chasseurs, in the esta blishment of the Precurseur Journal. "The Artillery of the Civic Guard, at the corner of the Rue de l'Empereur and of the Rue de l'Am man. " The Chasseurs Eelaireurs, in the Rue des Aveugleq. " Three companies of the 2d Chasseurs at the corner of the Rue du Fagot and of the Place du " Three companies of the Chasseurs, Rue des Re collets, with a major. " In front of the bureau of the Precurseur, the police, one commissary, two assistants, three gardes de vine, and 10 firemen. "Twenty firemen in the Garden of the Museum. "Four gendarmes perambulating the surrounding streets. "As a reserve, five companies of Chasseurs were consigned to the Hotel de Ville. A considerable de tachment of mounted artillery and two battalions of Chasseurs are lodged at the Falcon Barrack in close proximity with the Rue de l'Amman." It appears that from the Ist June to the 31st July, 541 transatlantic vessels have entered the port of Antwerp, belonging to various countries in Europe. This is the highest number that has ever been attained• within that period. The number of ships at present in the Antwerp docks is upwards of 300. _ _ On Sunday the King arrived at the Palace of Brussels at half-past 12 o'clock. His Majesty gave audiences to Baron de Seisal, Minister of Portugal, and to other personages sf distinction. The King assisted at Divine service in the chapel of the Palace ; and before returning to the chateau at Laeken, presided over a Cabinet Council The Duke and Duchess of Brabant also visited the city. At four o'clock his Royal High ness, on horseback, and the Duchess, accom panied by a lady of honour, in a carriage drawn by four horses, left for the felts of Ixelles. Upon their arrival at the Place -Communale where they stopped for a few moments, a band upon the spot struck up the " Brabanconne." At Ixelles their Royal Highnesses were received by the people with the most enthusiastic cheering. The Duke and Duchess returned the same night to the ChAteau of Lecken. Yesterday evening their Royal Highnesses drove in an open carriage, drawn by four horses, to a concert given in the Zoological Gardens. Tear CITURCII-R ATI QUESTION.-At a Vestry Meet ing 1;c1(1 at Christchurch, High II arrorvate, on the 29th ult., the subject of imposing a rate was di*cussed. It was stated that the sum Pf.Cl35 would be required, and that a rate of twopence in the pound would raise that amount. The in cumbent, the Rev. H. James, suggested that the assessment should be voluntary. A pirishioner, however, moved that a rate of three-halfpence in the pound be levied as usual. An amendment in ftvour of a voluntary rate was then, with the approbation of the incumbent and the churchwardens, sub mitted to the meeting. On a division this amendment was carried by a majority of 44 to 41. At a meeting held at Doncaster, the parishioners or aoirfinn; , 'Y conPtod to accept ra:e iltut2c-11:1111ulLm ,Ti u . c pound usual amount), the money to be applied in the first instance to the laying out of tine ground round the new parish church, and afterwards to the maintenance of t he fabric of the church, all other charges for the services, & c., estimated at upwards of £3OO, being defrayed by yOltintAr,y pew rot, SOUTH AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AVON. SOUTIIAMPTON, AuG. 4. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Avon, Capt. Richard Revett, with the usual Brazilian and River Plate mails in charge of Lieut. A. La Touche, R.N., arrived to-day. The Avon, during the voyage homewards, experi enced unsettled weather on the Brazil coast ; from 11 deg. north to Lisbon, strong adverse winds, with a heavy head sea ; from thence to Southampton, light winds and fine weather. The Avon brings mails from the following places with their respective dates affixed :—Buenos Ayres, 27th June ; Monte Video, 30th ; Rio de Janeiro, 10th July ; Bahia, 14th ; Pernambuco, 16th ; St. Vincent, 24th; Lisbon, 31st.

BEE, MAJESTY'S SHIPS.—At Monte Video, Spy ; at Rio de Janeiro, Madagascar, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, and United States frigate St. Lawrence, Commodore Forrest; off Cape Frio, Syron. PARIS, AUG, 4. Prince Jerome arrived at Havre the day before yesterday, and proceeded at once to the Hotel Fras cati. Six catriages and 14 horses were forwarded from Paris for the service of the Prince. Count Walewski, the Minister of Foreign Aff2irs, has left Paris for Cherbourg, to be present at the in terview between the two sovereigns. The Marquis Antonini, who filled the post of Neapolitan Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries prior to the rupture of diplomatic relations with the _ . Two Sicilies, has arrived in Paris. The Grand Duchess llelena of Russia arrived at Ostend on Saturday evening. The Prince of Prussia, whose arrival in that town has been announcei, rises very early, and takes a walk on the beach. The prince also passes the greater part of the day by the sea side. H.R.H. devotes three hours every night to business. The Emperor and the Empress arrived at Mantes on their way to Caen at ten minutes after eleven. The Prefect of the Seine-et- Oise, General Dubreton, and the mayors and authorities of the neighbouring commune?, rec,.ived heir Majesties, who were greeted with the loudest acclamations by the people. At Evreux their Ma jesties arrived at half-past twelve, and proceeded to the Prefecture amidst cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" and " Vire l'lmperatrice !" " Vive le Prince Impe rial !" The town was dressed out with flags. At Liseux their Majesties found at the railway station the authorities in waiting, as well as an immense crowd, who hailed them most enthusiastically. At Caen the authorities met their Majesties at the railway station, and the Imperial cortege afterwards pro ceeded to the hotel of the Prefecture through the whole of the town, which was splendidly decorated. The Emperor was dressed in the uniform of a general of division, and wore the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour. With the Imperial suite there were also in the Imperial carriages Lord and Lady Cowley, Viscount Chelsea, the Hon. E. Monson, Lieut-Colone Claremont, and Mr. Faulkner Atlee. Their Ma jesties showed themselves several times in the balcoziy and the enthusiasm was unbounded. At nine o'clock their Majesties proceeded to a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville, amidst the acclamations of the crowd. Marshal Magnan has accompanied their Majestieslas far as Caen, which lies within the limit of his mili tary command. Among the number of the stations on the Ifni bausen railway at which the Emperor made a short halt on his return to Paris from Plombieres was that of Nangis. A number of old soldiers who had received the St. Helena medal were ranged along the quay. Among them was one who was conspicuous from the Cross of the Legion of Honour OR his breast, and from having a sheet of white paper round his hat bearing an inscription, but which could only be read by those in the first carriage, which stopped exactly opposite to where the man stood, and too far off from the Imperial carriage to be seen by the Emperor. The words inscribed on the placard were the well-known historical sentence as connected with the history of Napoleon 1., of " Quand bien meme vous seriaz le petit Caporal, on ne passe pas," and it was this very • man who uttered the words in question. His name is Jean Coluche, and he was born on the 31st March, 1780, at Gastin, in the canton of Nangis. He entered as a conscript, in the year '9, the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry, in which he made all the campaigns of Prussia, Austria, Spain, Portu gal, France in 1814, and Belgium in 1815. He was present at the battles of Jena, Eylau, Warsaw, Ess ling, Wagram, Arcis-sur-Aube (where he was seri ously wounded in the head), and lastly at those of Ligny and 'Waterloo. In 1809, after the sanguinary battle of Ebersbergon the Traun, Coluche was placed as sentinel before the door of the house occupied by the Emperor, with the positive order to let no one go in. In the evening, when the Emperor Napo leon was about to enter the building, Coluche, who did not know him, received him with the words," On ne passe pas," and seeing that the person persisted and paid no attention to the notification, he energe tically added, "If you advance another step I will pierce you through the body !" and it required the intervention of the officers of the Emperor's staff to make the sentinel give way. A few minutes after Coluche was called into the presence of Napoleon, who said to him, " You may attach a red ribbon to your button-hole, for I give you the Cross.' Coulche has for many years been living in his native village, where, notwithstanding his great age (78 years), he works as a thresher. lie has no pension, and when unable to work, his only resource will be the income attached to the cross. The following advertisement is from the Calais illoniteur :—" Wanted drecly low Inglish man, on for office ant nother for Servant. S'adresser a Mr. Leo pold Rossell, rue Neuve, No. 93, a Calais." Marshal Canrobert has permitted the distribution of the "Poesies Guerrieres" of M. Belmontet among the soldiers of the camp of Chalons. In the last sitting of the Municipal Council of Paris, the Prefect of the Seine read a report on the ques tion which has long been under consideration—of increasing the supply of water to the capital. It re commends that the waters of a little river called the S.-Arm-Sonde, in the department of the Marne, should be brought by canal to Paris ; but states that difficulties would perhaps arise in consequence of the inhabitants and authorities of the department strongly protesting against being deprived of any portion of the water of their river. It was decided that nego tiations should be entered into on the subjec , . The Monitcur publishes two Imperial decrees founded on reports from Prince Napoleon, Minis ter of Algeria. One includes the service of Public Instruction and Worship in that colony in the at tributions and under the authority of the Prince ; and also provides that decrees nominating the Bishop of Algiers, and nominating or dismissing the rector of the academy, shall be published on the collective proposition of the Prime Minister of Algeria, and the Minister of Public Instruction. The other decree authorises the formation of a village of 70 houses to take the name of Temel-el- Had, in the sub-division of Nulramah. Land to the extent of 958 hectares (21 acres each) is attached to this village. PARIS BOURSE.--The market has been very inani mate ; railway shares have been offered with a gene ral fall of prices.

Respecting the social and political aspects of this republic we copy the following from the British Packet summary : " The Ministerial crisis, though it may involve a political sign!ricancy, can have on:y an indirect influence on com mercial prospects. With the foreign community generally Dr. Barros Pazos was deservedly a favourite; and having acted with dignity and retired with dignity, his frierds have no cause to regret or complain, and are bound to give his successor a fair and impartial trial. Measures and not men,' a fair field and no favour,' are apothems familiar to English ears, and this is one of the occasions on which they should be put in practice. _ _ " In consulting a promiscuous meeting of notables, before appointing Col. Mitre, his Excellency the Governor acted, in our opinion, with great delicacy and propriety; and the acrimonious criticism of some of the hitherto Ministerial organs on this step is what we cannot comprehend. " The announced deficit is formidable; but public opfnies appears sufficiently uniform as to the expediency of the measures proposed. Its history may be seen in the etirre spending official documents, which we have given at length. " The Legislative Chambers are now in full career, and have shown greater independence than was generally ex pected from their composition. "The bill giving the Executive a direct intervention le the management of the bank, was thrown out, and we think very properly, by the Chamber of Deputies ; and the fate of another, proposing the 'promotion of five colonels to the rank of general, is understood to be doubtful. " In the Senate a measure brought in by a Ministerinlis t of the first water, proposing the acceptance of a cornmeal' code without previous examination, was also rejected by decided majority; and to all these hopeful symptoms there is still to add a large infusion of Conservatism or Liberalist° in the late elections. " Our foreign relations, so far as we know, have undergon e no modification during the month under review. The leading opposition journal La R•fornta Pacifica, of Thursday last, hints at secret negotiation with the Confederatien—a thing so improbable in itself and of such importance that we Mel t be excused in suspending our judgment. "The bill declaring this state an integral part of the Re public appears g shelved in committee;' and though M r Christie foanded upon it, as a sort of forlorn hope for renew' ing pacific negot'ations, it seems rejected as such by the press of the ConfederAion. " The only favourable symptom for peace we can quote! . the election of Don Mariano Fragneiro as Governor of Ca' dova, and t'iat we fear is overborne by a best of protests: tions of adhesion, all more or less of a warlike character an tendency." RIO DE JANEIRO. The Chambers were still sitting, and much Sitt ig ' faction was felt at the terms of the new loan. T he coffee crop was an average oae, and of good qu ality. The coffee market has been active ; sales for tile past month, 159,800 bags. BAHIA. The railway here is progressing. In Bahia an the neighbourhood the future crops promise a large supply of sugar.
