LaPlata has arrived at Li s b o n fr o m Brazil and the River Plate with £106,634, and the Scotia, from New York, has brought £103,855. Subsc riptions have been invited by Mr. J. I'. Mackenzie f f or £ 650,000 Perpetual 5 per cent. Pre erence Stock of the Metropolitan District Railway, at the price of 681. The amount of this stock authorised to be created is £1,500,000, and the !hole was last month offered to the shareholders at 70 . On that occasion £850,000 was subscribed, and the present sum will therefore complete the trans action, and enable the line to be finished within 12 Westm inster-bridge by th e construct i on of the port i on b etween Westm inster-bridge and Cannon-street. The stock Will rank next to the 6 per cent. debentures of the com pany, whi c h are now at 102, and before the £2,250,000 ordinary stock already issued, and fully id U. The tot a l l eng th o f th e li ne an d it s , branches i s seven miles, and the net revenue, calcu lating it on th e b asis of that of the Metropolitan R ailway, would be £200,000, while the require ment for debenture interest is £70,000, and for t he present Preference Stock £75,000, leaving £55;000 for the ordinary shareholders. Looking at t he character of the traffic to be opened up, and its constant prospects of annual development, the secu rity seems likely to be regarded with favour. 'hen the subscription was opened at 70 and par tially completed there was no certainty on the part of those who entered into it as to the way in which it would be generally received, or the proportions of it that might at once be thrown upon the market. With the definitive absorption, however, of the entire amount the investment will assume a more steady character, and it is also a favourable cir cumstance that in the interval the supply of float ing capital seeking employment has greatly in creased. In any case the advantages to he deriv..d by the public from the completion of this long delayed channel of communication are such that the final raising of the means will be a subject of gene ral satisfaction. Letters from Mexico describe the accident on the Mexican Railway, which appears not to have been from any inherent imperfection in the works. It happened about two miles from Otumba, at a point over which a train had passed with perfect safety two hours previously, and was caused by the fall of a waterspout, which occasionally, though rarely, occurs on the plains of Mexico. The body of water W as b e i ng so great th a t, unable to discharge itself th, _ough the bridge of 40ft. span which crossed a rav ine,, and which, i n ordinary times, is almost urv, it overflowed the embankment of the railway, wash ing away the approach to the bridge, while the rails remained in their place suspended over the ga p. Ten li ves were lost, but cons i der i ng that the train contained nearly 100 passengers, it is satisfactory there were not more victims.

ON THE 12TII OF JULY, 356, OXFORD-STREET.-- This mysterious announcement in the various papers for the past throe weeks is at last solved by the appearance of ono of the novelties of the day, ex ac tl y i n accor d ance w i t h the ti me s. Mr. Pownceb,y, the proprietor, has opened one •f the most unique and useful establishments in London, for the sale of genuine wines and spirits, imperial measure, either for domestic or medicinal purposes. At the same time those persons (and there are many) who object to frequent a public-house, have an opportunity of having a splendid glass of wino at a really nominal charge. A pur chaser can now have a choice of winos of the finest brand by ,ordering from what they practically drink, and at wholesale pr:ces. The place alone is worthy of a visit, being fitted up in the best possible taste, and peculiarly adapted for the purpose. Our advice is, "Be sure you cal as you pass by."-356, Oxford-street. A SOLICITOR SUSPENDED FOR TEN YEARS.—The Master of the Rolls delivered judgment to-day in re Best. His lordship said that in his opinion the evidence fully established the petitioners' CAS: , . Ho would not strike the party off the rolls, but ha would suspend him from prac tising for ten years. [ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.—The slightest indisposition, to prevent it rapidly running from bad to worse, demands attention during the changeable weather. A few doses of these thoroughly purifying and strengthen ing pills will always be beneficial when the least disorder reigns or when nervous fears oppress. Two or three pills at bed-time have the happiest effect in promoting perfect digestion, whereby the muscles are rendered more vigor ous, the spirit more buoyant, and the entire frame more hardy. Holloway's medicine increases the quantity of nutriment derived from a given quantity of food, releases the stomach from the disagreeable feelings attending in digestion, and the mind from the hypochondrial thoughts, more annoying and more exhaustive to the nervous system than absolute pain.

UR 111 112 1121 i CORRESFONDFAWE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, July 30. The Ministerial deliberations respecting the text of the redoubtable Senatus Consultum continue unremittingly. The Petrie finds ground for satisfaction in the fact that nothing is proposed, discussed, or decided save in Council, which it accepts as an indication of the liberal sentiments which animate the Emperor. The part to be played by the Corps Legislatif assumes more and more importance. The Council of State will no longer have the right to reject amendments. The Senate is to be enlarged in its character, and will, according to the Patric, henceforward bear some resemblance to the House of Peers in England, or the Belgian Senate. Yesterday, it is said, the last Cabinet Council on this weighty subject was held at St. Cloud, when the full decree was read, the members of the Privy Council and the President of the two Chambers being present. Already twcntyone candidates are announced for the tour circumscriptions of the Seine, vacant by the choice of Marseilles, Lyons, Montpellier and Bordeaux by the four "double deputies." The Liberte asks, If such is the case now, when the date of the election is yet un• certain, what may we expect when it actually arrives? It was rumoured a day or two since that General Melli net, wearied out with the numberless complaints of the National Guard, himself conveyed his resignation to St. Cloud, but the Emperor, while admitting his arguments, requested him t) retain his office until his successor was nominated. The Viscount de la Guerronibre has disposed, I hear, of his interest in the journal La France. The French Ambassador at Brussels, according to the Figaro, will henceforward abandon all share in the political direction of the paper. It was high time. Ambassadors ought net to be connected with papers which abuse the Government to which the diplomatists themselves are accredited, As did La France on the Belgian railway question. A terrible accident occurred yesterday at the Notre Dame Coal Mine, near Douay, by which eleven men lost their lives. As twelve miners were ascending in a cage, a heavy block of stone fell from above, breaking the cage and precipitating the men a distance of sixty feet into the depths below. They fell into a pool of water, the broken cage falling on them. Eleven of them were killed on the spot, the twelfth escaping with his life by a miracle. He was terribly hurt, and had not recovered his speech late last night. The Procureur Imp6rial has opened an inquiry into this pain. ful affair. A general service was yesterday celebrated in the Rue St. Antoine, in the Church of St. Paul, in memory of the citizens killed during the three days of July 1830. After the ceremony wreaths of immortels were placed on the railing round the column on the Place de la Bastille. The popular living favourites of the day are likewise receiving ovations. A banquet, at which twelve hundred covers were laid, was given two evenings since at Rouen, to M. Jules Favre, and to M. Desseaux, the member for the city. M. Favre spoke at some length, and declared that public opinion was reviving in France, and that the days of those who lived upon war and upon privilege were over, and it would no longer be tolerated that individual rights should be sacrificed to one who believed his worst attacks upon liberty would be pardoned. M. Favre denounced personal Government, and his speech was loudly cheered throughout. Great enthusiasm was manifested. The great case of Pic and Taillefer is expected to finish to-day. The verdict of the jury will not be given till late. A curious sight was yesterday to be seen in the vicinity of the Palais de Justice, when the copies of the famous Lanterne which had been seized were removed. They filled forty-two bags, and amounted to about 100,000. It was rumoured yesterday that the health of Marshal Niel was such as to give rise to serious uneasiness, and that he would probably have to retire from the Ministry, in which he would be succeeded by Marshal Bazaine. Strikes are still the fashion. The printers of Rouen are the last performers in this line, and the Courricr dt Rouen has been forced to suspend publication. A man of some note has just died at Florence. Giuseppe Dolfi was a baker who exercised a great influence on the people. Ten years ago he took an active part iu the outbreak which caused the Grand Duke to leave the place. Dulfi maintained his ascen dancy over the multitude, and Baron Ricasoli often had interviews with him with a view to further the public interests. Del fi was a decided Radical, and entertained peculiar opinions about religion. I e left directions that he should be interred without any religious ceremonies taking place, which request will be complied with: Stich a funeral is a rara t b he in Florence, and it is sonic years sin , :e the forms of reliw,ion were thus despised. Doll' spent a great deal of his money in the Caribaldian cause. lie was noted for his determination to keep in his own sphere, but he had none of the characteristics of a demagogue. He died rather sud denly, having been greatly affected by the heat of the weather. In other circumstances he might have become more distinguished, but he suceeded in inspiring universal respect, and will long be remembered. Mr. Gladstone is satisfactorily improving in health. llt r Majcsty has sent telegrams Every day this wet k inquiring titer the hcalth of the right lion, gentleman. The Dublin corrcsrondent cf the 7 ablet states that a rumour current some time lack that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland was to bo raised to the Peer:To has been revived. Mr. Hadfield has deferred his moticn, "that it is t xpedient to relieve bishops of the Church of England from attendance on Parliament," until Tuesday next. Official letters state that all the dockyard emi grants sent out to Canaea have behaved well; the arrange. meats have answered perfectly. Hitherto no difficulty has been experienced in obtaining employment. The Board of Trinity College, Dublin, met on Thursday, and came to a resolution respecting Mr. Fawcett's motion, the effect of which is understood to be that they will not oppose it. The Scottish Bishopic of Brechin is likely to be como vacant by the resignation of the Right Rey. Dr. Forbes. The right reverend prelate, who is son of Lord Me dwyn, was formerly Vicar of St. Saviour's, Leeds, and was consecrated Bishop in 1847. On account of the illness of one of the members of Ids domestic circle, which is so serious as to entail the necessity of a residence on the Continent, Major-General William Napier, the Vice-President of the Council of Mili tary Education, is likely to resign his appointment. A memorial for the reprieve of Fanny Oliver is being signed at Birmingham. The memorialists urge as a ground for the reprieve that the proof of the fact of the pre sence of the poison rested entirely upon the uncorroboAted evidence of a single scientific witness. The ship Protector, 1,278 tons register, belonging to Messrs. R. Ash and Co., of Hull, which left that port in October last, for Bt. John's, New Brunswick, with a cargo of coal and a crew of 25 bands, has not since been heard of, and it is believed she has gone down with all bands. The Protector was the largest sailing vessel belonging to tho port of Hull. The London correspondent of the Manchester rxaminer mentions reports that the health of the French Emperor is on the decline. Ho evidently betrays groat diffi culty at times in walking. This is attributed to the return of an old malady which some years ago bad nearly proved fatal, but which his physicians were confident they were able to cure. A meeting of the Orangemen is to be held on the 12th prox., for the purpose of " commemorating the past, reflecting on the present, and inaugurating the future." They propose to have Lord Derl-y's likeness taken "as he left the House of Peers on learning the ignoble compromise of the Bill," and to have an engraving of the same made, in order that a copy may adorn the house of every true Pro testant in Great Britain. Five betting agents and their employes were sum moned before the Birmingham magistrates on Thursday for infringing the Bitting Houses Act. William Cosby, landlord of the Golden Elephant, was fined £2O and costs, or in de fault six months' imprisonment. James Francis, landlord of the State Cabin, Dale-end, was fined £lO and costs. Alfred Hudson, James Francis, and Walter Francis, servants of Cosby, were fined is. each and costs. A singular accident occurred at the sulphurous springs at Enghien, France, on Wednesday. A workman whose business it was to clean the pipes for tho conveyance of the spring waters to the drinking establishment, fill it to the principal reservoir. A stoker, mined Delune, who happened to witness the accident, stooped down over the sulphurous water, and, suffocated by its fumes, fell into the reservoir. Five other omployds o: the establishment, attracted by the crowd which had assembled, successively, in attempting the rescue of their predecessors, followed their example and fell into the reservoir. Only three were got out alive. A meeting of clergy and laity of Wales was held at St. Asaph on Thursday to consider the best mode of increas ing the efficiency of the Church in the diocese. Earl Powis presided, and among those present were Sir Watkin Wynn, Bart., M.P., the Bishop of St. AEapb, and the Dean of St. A sal h. The report of an executive committee, appointed by the Bishop of St. Asaph; was read, containing a number of suggestions. The discussion on the suggestions occupied several hours, and the meeting ultimately resolved that the subjects mentioned in the report were too numerous to be decided bz*ltillcppeg, and that they would be OotAtim IMPERIAL PARLIA DI EN' 110 USE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at ten minutes past twelve o'clock. FOUR, LAW AND CHARITIES. Mr. SMITH gave notice that early next session he in tended to call attention to the operation of the Poor-law on the action of private charities and benevolent institutions, and the condition of the poor in the metropolis. SUPPLY. The report of the last votes was brought up and ngrecd to. WAYS AND MEANS. The last votes iu committee of ways and means were agreed to. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS (LOAN) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, and the clauses were agreed to after some alterations had been made by the metropolitan members. A clause authorising trustees to invest in the proposed loans was postponed fur further consideration. HACKNEY AND STAGE CARRIAGES LAW AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee. Several bills, including the Fortification (Provision for Expenses) Bill having been read a third time, and the t.p propriation Bill having been brought in, Tho bons.° adjourned. Si I:AND THEATRE:. Mr. John S. Clarke has just appeared in two new parts. The first is that of an eccentric valet, who arrays himself like a gent, and has the misfortune to be taken for a gentleman. This is in a two-act piece by Mr. Brougham, entitled " Among the Breakers." The little play is one roar. Intensely absurd and extravagant, it fulfils its intention admi rably, for no other purpose than laughter can pos sibly have been aimed at by it. The valet, Babing ton Jones, is constantly in difficulties owing to the part he is compelled to play, and every embarrass ment is oddly heightened by the fact that from the tightness he cannot even sit down to think. Ihe dialogue is smart and telling, and " Among the Breakers" has hit the public taste most successfully. The second character played by Mr. Clarke is that of Toodles. The humour is twofold. Fiat, it is that of an ecentric who is perpetually quarrelling with his wife; secondly, it is that of a drunken man comically susceptible of the wildest physical puzzlement and the drollest practical vicissitudes. To see Too Iles pulling up his coat sleeve under the impression that he is pulling on his glove, while his fingers work vainly forward with the glove half on, but without advancing further into it, is to recog nise a sort of Dundreary of intoxication. Mr. Clarke is not only a more amusing, but a more highly finished and more refined Toodles than any other actor who has pourtrayed on the English stage this odd creation of an odd Transatlantic actor. The theatre continues to receive the highest patronage, and is nightly crowded by a very fashionable and brilliant audience. INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, 1 o'clock. The Harvard crow were out at 11 this morning, and rowed as far as Ifammersmith-bridge, against half ebb, led by Kelley. Since the alterations of yesterday they row better, but still get their oars in too deep, and the stroke oar sits too low in the boat. They came lower at a pretty smart pace, and were out altogether throe-quarters of an hour; they go out about half-past six this evening, probably to row the entire course. Betting is 2 to 1 on Oxford, odds which will doubtless be mate rially reduced by the day of the race, which will pro bably be the 26th of August. TRAIN G REPOR7 S. MIDDLEHAM.—On Wednesday Dawson sent the Tom Bowlke colt and Outfit a nice half-speed gallop of a mile and a half. Tabouret, Lawrence., Pretender, Thorwaldsen, DerventiO, Lord Hawthorn, Argyle, King of the Fairies, Hymen, and the two year olds did steady work. Donald bain, Brother to Strafford, and Far Away did steady mile work. Briggs's Duchess of Athol went a good gallop of a mile and a half, and the rest of his team did steady work. Blair Drummond is turned out of training, and went home to-day. Thursday.— Winter sent Three per Cent. and Colonel P. a wile and a half. Artichoke, Neptunus filly, and Soubrette went a good gallop of a mile. Briggs scut Vansittart, and Pride of Erin two miles. KINGSCLERE. —Wednesday—The Palmer and Morna left early for Goodwood shortly after the remainder of the team Caine out, After a canter of a mile and a platter, Ambitious led 'Actor and Pero Gomez a good gallop of a mile and a half, h, himself doing two miles at a good pace, All were sent to the stable, lain falling for six hours. Thursday—MasterArolie lad Pero Gomez a rteady gallop of ra bee over a mile. An , li t ious galloped at a good pace two mi!es by bitus.,lf. Li:!tor led :Salamis a slow gallop of ov, r a mile. Next week, at Brighton, Ambitious is entered fur the Stakes, and should he get in at any thing like a reasonable weight he must run well , as he is very fit. Blue G,,wa is et:Lraged in the Champagne Stakes, and I believe him a certain ruuuer. Morns is engaged in the Brighton Cup, which she will about win. NEWMARKET. - The following horses at Newmarket, engaged•at Brighton, have beou doing good work up to this day (Friday):—Silenus, Suffolk, Stork, Chapel Royal, Elkrou (2 yrs), colt by Lacydes, dam by Cowl (2 yrs), St. Lecnards (2 yrs), Moonstone (2 yrs), Kenning ton (2 yrs), and Camel (2 yrs). In the Brighton Stakes we have Sileans, Stork, and Suffolk. The last-named has had a strong preparation each day sinco my last, and I am of opinion, if he runs, that ho or Tornado will win. The Champagne Stakes looks well for Suffolk, if he does not run for the Stakes. MALTON.-Iu the Members' Plate at Ripon we have Queen of York. She is fit to run, but I cannot say much in her favour, as she has a way of her own. Great Nor • thern Nursery.—We have Vitality out of Revivalist, Jamaica, Callipa3dia, and Mary of Argyle. The last named will take her own part in the race. In the Newby Handicap Plate and the Studley Welter we have Queen of York again, and if she would only take it into her head to run, she would pay her way before she returned. In the Brighton Cup next Wednesday we have The Spy ; if he is sent and wanted, he will beat all comers. J. Shepherd is now giving George Osbaldeston a careful preparation, and no horse can be either doing or looking better than he does. I would again advise your readers to back him for a place in the St. Leger, as he will run and win a race before then. lIEDNESFORD.-I see Brighton, Lewes, and Wenlock meetings are next, but I don't think the two former places will be much patronised from here. la the Wenlock Handicap we have Kidderminster, Edinburgh, Gordian Knot, St. Valentine, and some platers for other races. The three first named are all well, but I have not seen St. Valentine of late; he is the best of the lot. The following of Cliff's have been doing steady work on the Rugeley side of the hills:—Wakefield, horse by Artillery, Melody Thunderclap, Pearlfeather, Kidderminster, Dunce, Lady de Trafford colt, Divorce, Hereward, Wish filly, Royal Lad, Villany, Orion, Bon Chevalier, Master Willie, and Prince Eskrett's filly by Lifeboat, Jenny Mills, General Prim Mountaineer, Dean of York, Musical 8011, Edinburgh MaEquer and Arigi:l have done good work. RICHMOND.—Sinco my last, Bronnus, Fragrance, Italian Gipsy, Festivity, Romulus colt, Saratoga, Auchinlech, Little Bell, Zero, Fuzee, Retort, Evelina, Affinity, Beauty, Lady De whurst, Carnoustie, The Bobby, Knutsford, Mans field, Sweet Annie, Annie Stewart, Sicilia, Stockwell, East Coast, Enterprise, Garryowen, Divulger, and Touchwood colt have taken a fair amount of work. 111ARKE7 S-7 HIS DAY.

PRINCE ARTHUR THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.— Yesterday afternoon, while Lieutenant Prince Arthur was cut on Woolwich Common with the "B" Battery, Ith Brigade of Royal Artillery, to which his Royal Highness is attached, ho met with a slight accident. The Prince rides a spirited horse, and yesterday, while standing at ease, it becaihe restive, the Prince, with much cool ness, refused assistance, and, after a sharp struggle, got the animal quiet. The horse afterwards made another sudden plunge and his Royal Highness was jerked out of the saddle to the ground. Fortunately his Royal Highness received no injuries, and was on his feet again in a moment, laughing heartily at the contretemps. The horse darted off at full speed in the direci l ion of the stables, and having stopped at the gates, •wasitken by the mounted orderly, sent in pursuit, back to 'the Prince, who again mounted ancl 991 11 P 1 Md thitin. r iJ _ 37 " ' i 1 ".- 9 4 2 5 ' .0 La o Sel f° t Cre• . to the id be „lor° Id bf r. a d ase' liC•"' o get /I 0 • d i° ,r is and 101 ;he ° bit/ lied to eat re' lob
