THERMOMETER, IN THE SHADE. 74—highest since noon yesterday. 62—lowest this morning and during the night. 71—this day at noon. BAROMETER-29.77. WIND, North-Easterly ; rather fresh, with fine weather. The acccounts from the seat of war confirm our previous advices. It is now clear that the conse quences of the battle of Magenta are entirely in favour of the allied armies, and that the cunning lies of the Austrians about the renewed battle of Sunday were all a feint to cover the shame of their defeat. For see how the matter now stands. The Emperor of the FRENCH and the King of SARDINIA entered Milan, the capital of Lombardy, yesterday morn ing, amidst the rapturous enthusiasm of the popu lation, numbering about 180,000 citizens ! If this be not the fruits of victory, we shall look for better in vain. And not only this, but the (victorious ! ) Austrians not only gave up the capital, but left Pavia also, we presume, as another token of their triumph ! But, in order to make the best of a bad job, they have now taken up a strong flanking position between Abbiate-Grasso and Binasco. Well, if they remain there twenty .four hours or more we shall be rather surprised, for now that their des tiny is being sealed and the terror is working on their apprehensive nerves, we may expect to hear of another run for it in the direction of Mantua and so on to Verona, whither the Austrian authorities have wisely preceded them, to prepare quarters for a night or two for the wonder fully boasting brave army that was to pillage Turin, and perform such prodigies of valour as would astonish even themselves. No, their doom is sealed, and Italy will yet be free, though it may take a little time. The Austrian journals in London are endeavour ing to undervalue the results of the Allied progress following in the wake of the telegrams from Vienna. But it won't do. Fate is too strong for them. Their mendacity may be very natural in the'shaky state of their nerves, for when people are frightened they hardly know what to do ; and it is with nations as with individuals—to endeavour to make the best of it. Now, in proof of this, just see the Austrian official account of the battle of Magenta. Why they state their loss at only 4,000 or 5,000 men ! Why put "or"in if they knew their loss ? The thing is ridiculous. They think that by deceiving themselves they can impose upon others ; and the best of the joke is (if joke it be) that they make the loss of the Allies half as much again. After this, let them say their prayers and hope for a safe deliverance. We firmly believe that when Prince NAPOLEON sets out with his army from Florence in the direction Venice, and the French flotilla ascends the Po, there will not remain an Austrian soldier in arms in Lombardy. Anything more petty, more paltry, or in its way I more preposterous, could hardly be conceived than the line of argument pursued on Tuesday evening —during the debate upon the Amendment (to the Address) moved on behalf of the Opposition—by the hon, member for Devonport. The question before the house for discussion was one of confidence or of no confidence in her MAJESTY'S Government. That momentous question, moreover, was but just then submitted to the consideration of Parliament in the midst of the distant cannonade of the great European war now raging in Lombardy, and threatening to spread far and wide among the irritated and agitated nation s of Christendom. , Yet actually at such a moment, Mr. JAMES WILSON, late of the Treasury, and probably hoping soon to be again of the Treasury, Could tax the patience of the Commons with a dry may of figure's affecting' in no serious w ay whate ver th e imperial interest s of Great Britain, but droned out by him with inexorable precision, as though the Legislature were crowded by schoolboys bound to do so many ennui, in a given OW) and ec pstrained by v. sense of academic obedience to listen respect fully to the oracular teachings of this eminent Professor of Arithmetic. The exhi bition altogether would have been simply ridiculous, had it not also been peculiarly I melancholy, of its kind. It weighed at last upon the spirits of the House like the remorse of a con science ill at ease. It was like a waking night- mare bestridden by a pedagogue. It grew at last to be absolutely unendurable. The House roared in sheer indignation "Question, Question"—and there was an end at last once more to those perpetually recurrent tasks in addition, and subtraction, and division, and reduction performed again and again to his own entire satisfaction, and to nobody else's, by the great pragmatical, cheese-paring, flint skinning Economist, late of Westbury, now of Devonport. Rising to address the house immediately after this infliction, Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, the indepen- dent Liberal M.P. for Southampton, took the liberty of reminding the hon. gentleman that the question then s i t issue was " not the duty on Irish spirits, the merits of the west coast of Ireland, the distance between Cork or Galway and Liverpool, or the subsidies of rival lines of steamers—(cheers)" —and having spoken thus sententiously and sarcas tically, protested afterwards in set phrase against the course adopted by the hon. member for Devonport in " occupying the time of the House by such paltry details." Whereupon some believers in Mr. JAMES WILSON (for scarcely credible though it is to believe—there actually are such) some astounding believers in Mr. JAMES WILSON and his notions as a profound Economist positively had the cool effrontery to cry, "Oh ! oh !" Yet—remembering what it was, actually stood there as a Problem placed before the House and the country for its deliberate solution—was it not, we ask, the most petty, the most paltry, the most pitiable spectacle to witness a rational man deliberately submitting thereupon to the scrutiny of Parliament the CUNARD contracts, the indirect taxation of tea and sugar, the graduated reduction of the income tax, and so forth—capping the climax of all by the appalling intimation that he (Mr. JAMES WILSON) could show that the expenditure of the country last year was a million more than had been antici pated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The sum total of all which meant, that without the aid of Mr. JAMES WILSON against the Treasury, the national affairs were fast running down the groove to inevitable destruction. Voluble enough Mr. WILSON could be in rela tion to the Cunard contract, but not one whisper did he volunteer on Tuesday in reference to that miserable Australian mail contract, which Sir EDWARD LYTTON has the merit of having cancelled with a stroke of his pen almost upon the morrow of his assuming the guidance of the Colonial Admini stration. Contrast the two contracts, however, and say now which of them is really the more credit able. Among the most successful, reliable, prac ticable, and prosperous of the great shipowners in either hemisphere stand unquestionably conspicuous the members of the house of Cunard. The renewal of any reasonable contract with such a house is— judging from past experience certainly far from being a discredit to any Admini stration. But—the dead and gone Australian mail contract—the contract unheard-of on Tuesday night from the lips of the censorious member for Devonport—the contract bequeathed among other remarkable boons to the newly-installed Ministry of Lord DERBY, in 1838, by the far-seeing and sagacious PALMERSTON Government—the contract, plainest English), for the conveyance of that mail that was almost invariably a week or so behind time—how about that Mr. WiLsoN ? Not a word ? What, quite " mumchance ?" The silence, the complete and absolute silence of the mem ber for Devonport upon that head was cer tainly, to say the least of it, most commendable, as affording evidence of his discretion. It had, surely, been still more discreet, however, if Mr. WILSON had refrained altogether from uttering the word contract—a word suggestive, in regard to the late Cabinet of such extremely painful reminiscences. And, certainly, most discreet of all would it have been if the member for Devonport had not paltered with the great and momentous question actually before the House, by attempting (after the old fashion, as a model Economist) a pitiable little ex periment in the way of skinning flints, when the matter at stake is the character, the policy, and the efficiency of the imperial Government. The meetings of the Society for the Liberation of Religion from State Patronage and Control, which were concluded last night at Freemason's Hall, are worthy of some notice by the politician. For fifteen years the society has now been quietly at work, for this was a fifth triennial conference, at which it appears the -whole staff of the society in town and country has to be re-elected, and even the constitution of the society reconsidered, and, if needful, revised. It was properly, therefore, a meeting 'of delegates; but the society courts publicity : we were indeed requested to attend, and complied with the request. The con eluding meeting last night was a soiree of quite a public character, and was certainly an effective meeting. Several members of Par liament of a class not to be overlooked were present, such as Mr: FRANK CROSSLEY, Sir MORTON PETO, Mr. DILLWYN, Mr. ADAM BLACK, Mr. LINDSAY, and others. Nor, we are bound to say, was there anything of a sectarian character whatever about the meeting—its purpose was, defi nitely, to obtain the ultimate object expressed by the title of the society, but practically to avoid mere theoretical resolutions, and to apply them selves to such workings of the Established Church' as interfered with the equal religious liberty of every sep and denomination. We must say that we were gratified with the catholic tone of the speaki n g generally. Di ssen t ers mus t forgive us if we acknowledge that we naturally apprehend a little contractedness of vision where they have (as they must have in a society like this) so large a share in the administration. It:is due to the society however to state, that we heard nothing bitter or vindictive against the Church as a religi ous institution, nor anything demanded which was not perfectly fair on the great principle to which we have always given our fullest adhesion, that of RELIGIOUS EQUALITY. The society's account of its operations was not uninteresting. The delegates present amounted, we should say, to about 300. They were from all parts of the country, and appe &red to represent every creed , froin the Churchman to the Quaker. To interest such a large number of communities has been, of course, a work of time and labour, but it has been labour of a not very obtrusive kind. The Church rate controversy has been a great help to the society, persons from all quarters having resorted to it for legal advice. But, for the last few years they have given their principal attention to enlightening mem bers of Parliament respecting their real views, and seeking Parliamentary strength in this creditable manner. The members of Parliament present bore remarkably cordial testimony to the universal re spect in which their chairman, Dr. FOSTER, is held in the House of Commons, and to 4-N 4 ~,T ; e . - ---, v.,..7't k ... , -- r ot, .IN -,,,, .--, 4 :- , A ~ , y ,,,, .

JUNE 9. 1859. ►1 SUN, LONDON, .....-........... ~-,........... i'b the value of the assis tame which he was ever ready to furnish the mernb ers, on all subjects connected with religious lib( IrtY• The public must have strength of the Religious noticed the growir , 'g Equality party in tj e House of Commons. It consists almost entirol, yof firm Churchmen, the Dissenters in the Houi A , being but few ; and very much indeed of this I mnproved position of that great question is due to the unremitting but con ciliatory and gentlemanly exertions of Dr. FOSTER. So at least we were told la 't night by homourable members themselves. The Society intends to va new its Parliamentary effOrts this year with vigo, whether the session be long or short. Mr. DILLAN - YN, who was present, mentioned, what our readers N\ rill have seen, that he had re-introducedhis Endowed' Schools Bill without opposition into the House—that, it stood, in fact, as the first bill introduced this o,itssion. The bill is one which certainly shows tha t Dissenters have cause, indeed, to complain of thiT gate of the law, nor do we see how their very retOunable request can be refused at the present day by legislators of any party. By a very recent decision of the Lords Justices, if the word " religion' is used in the ancient endowment deeds of a school, or even any secular charity, it must be interpreted the Church of England, as the State legally knows of no other religion ! To unprofessional persons this m..y seem odd enough, but we suppose it is good law. Still we can hardly imagine that any unprejudiced Englishman can wish it to remain law. On the same principle, trustees have been recently ex pelled from trusts of schools and charities, because they must be men of " godly learning," and honest and discreet men. It may not be very " discreet" to be a Dissenter, when he has w build his own chapel and keep it in repair, besides p a ng his own minister and the rest of it, but we must Oink the balance of " honesty" is in favour of those w :Ito do it. So, however, Lord Justices do not think, and the result is, that Dissenters, as ungodly and dis honest men, are driven from all charity trusts, which require men of the opposite moral character. The bill-merely proposes that, in cases where the founder has expressed himself in favour of no par ticular creed or form of religion, that none shall be required of the trustees or officers of the schools or charities. Such a bill must surely pass both Houses without difficulty—even the bench of Bishops will surely be ashamed to oppose it. Sir JOHN TuELAWNY should re-introduce his Church-rate Bill to-day. On that topic, of course, the meeting foulid ample matter for congratula tion. It was reported that so increasingly successful was the Vestry opposition, that if Parliament did not make haste not much would be left them to abolish. It gives some insight into the quality of a good deal of the liberalism of the late Parliament, that Dr. FOSTER reported that the recent Liberal losses had been a very insignificant loss to the Church-rate abolition cause, since many who had lost their seats had either constantly voted against Sir J. TRELAWNY'S Bill, or had regularly been absent from the division; while an increased number of the Conservatives had de- dared themselves in favour of abolishing the im post. We call attention to this. Church-rates may not be a very great question. but it is what we should call very much of a testing question. There is nothing to be said for them but what may be said for every vested abuse ; but against them it is to be said that they must be, from their very nature, excessively offensive to a vast body of re spectable and earnest men, who pay for their own religious worship, and that it is a scandal wpa Ith v as they are, if they cannot keep their own churches in repair as every other religious body in the kingdom does. We cannot believe in the professed " Liberalism" of any member who can stand out for such an unfair impost. From all we saw and heard of the society's pro ceedings, we could not but think that it is carrying on its work in a catholic and comprehensive spirit. It ignores political parties, and confines itself to the question—Which will do most prac tically for religious liberty? It ignores equally all sectarian distinctions, confining itself simply to the object of placing all loyal subjects of her MAJESTY on a perfectly equal footing as citizens, be their creed what it may. Her MAJESTY herself, we hope, desires this ; and we think, with Lord STANLEY, that to this all the arguments and legis lation of the age both is and ought to be tending. Our readers will see that the meeting gave us a favourable impression of the Society's proceedings ; and we must say that, so far as we understand them from it, we wish them all success. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM COM- MITTEE. At a meeting of the above committee, Mr. James White in the chair, the, committee having taken into consideration the present critical position of the reform question, in connexion with the amend ment now before the House of Commons, expressing want of confidence in her Majesty's Ministers, it was moved by Mr. S. Morley, seconded by Mr. Duncan M'Laren, and resolved, " That, in the opinion of this committee, it is the duty of all real reformers to support the amendment; and the com• mittee trust that the Liberal party will succeed in their effort to obtain a change of Administration, in order to secure the early introduction of a measure of real Parliamentary Reform. By order of the committee, EDWARD S. PRYCE, Secretary. 15, King•street, Cheapside, June 8. 31. BENEDICT'S ANNUAL CONORIZT. We see that M. Benedict's annual concert will be given next Wednesday morning at St. James's Hall, and, if pos sible, he offers greater attractions than usual to his nume rous patrons and admirers. When we mention the fol lowing artistes as forming a portion of his " assistants," we think a tolerable estimate may be arrived at as to the high class character of the entertainment :—Mademoiselles Guarducci, Sarolta, and Victoire Balfe ; Madame Catherine Hayes ; Signori Mongini, Corsi, and L...,Graziani ; Herr Reichardt, and Mr. Santley. Pianoforte, Miss Arabella Goddard and M. Benedict ; violin, Herr Joachim ; and violoncello, M. Paque, will variously illustrate the soundest and most classical music, and a great treat may be antici pated, both instrumentally and vocally. M. Benedict is universally held in eulogistic consideration, not only as a gifted composer, but as a most efficient and skilfiel leader, and we may safely predict that he will be greeted on this especial occasion by a brilliant, crowded, and appreciatiVe audience. Although it is not definitely settled on which day the Court will arrive at Windsor for the Ascot race week, orders have been received at the Castle to prepare for the reception of the Court on Tuesday next, the first day of the races. f yu i a lc s llde g su r se a bo t fe i :ay Kentitu e thet el royal 0 more Lodge, at which vplaceciepnr frais to s l announee that the health of h sufficiently r e ta tio b n l i s sh a e r d e a b s e i n t o g enable for the reception of her royalto highness country en Thursday residence, F ( r t o h g i - e day).CIILD MURDER IN WESTMINSTER.--Yesterday evening an inquest was held oi v the mutilated remains of N whi o . which B w e e: bo e f r o o u u n g d h , st f r e eet, N auxhall Bridge. road. days ago concealed in A young woman named Sarah Smith, cook, at No. 8, has been examined at the Westminster Police court, upon sus ' • of being the mother of the infant,• [scion and remanded to athneinfhoanuste await the result of this inquest.

Welsh, and despatched by Messrs. Willis and Co , has made the rapid passage of 8.5 days, and landed 300 passengers safely. During the voyage fifteen deaths occurred, entirely amongst the chil dren, and five births. -Unfounded rumours of numerous deaths having been circulated on this ship leaving the Channel, and thereby causing alarm to friends, the earliest authentic contradiction ig now given. In the New Zealand papers every expression of gratitude is recorded by all the emigrants for the great care and kindness of Captain Mathews during the voyage. THURSDAY EVENING, INAUGURATION OF THE ATTWOOD STATUE AT BIRMINGHAM. On Tuesday last the formal uncovering and dedi cation of a statue to the late Thomas Attwood took place at Birmingham, in the presence of the Mayor, Sir John Rateliff, and a large number of persons. The site selected for the statue is the most conspi cuous position in the town—in the centre of New street, and at the head of the outlet from the London and North-Western Railway—Stephenson-place. The ceremony of inauguration was very imposing. Mr. Alderman Hodgson, in a few appropriate words, presented the statue to the Mayor on behalf of the town. Mr. Hodgson then read an address to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough, which mentioned the circumstances under which the statue was erected, and proceeded to say that to Thomas Attwood the country was indebted for an agitation resulting in the bill which on that day seven-and-twenty years ago received the royal assent, and from which individual and national blessings had flowed. The Mayor, Sir JOHN RATCLIFF, who was re ceived in the most enthisiastic manner, in accept ing the statue on the part of the town, said -In the name and on behalf of the corporation of Birmingham, I have much gratification in accept ing, as the property of the town, this statue of Mr. Thomas Attwood, which has, by his friends and fellow-townsmen, been raised in honour of his memory, and to perpetuate the remembrance of his public. services. (Cheers.) For more than one reason I rejoice that the corporation is called upon to become the custodians of this statue. I look upon the custom of erecting such monuments as the most fitting mode in which a great com munity can commemorate those of its citizens who have raised themselves to :national eminence, and I consider such means of perpetuating the memory of so great a citizen an honour to my fellow-townsmen. (Cheers.) As years pass on this statue will be marked by future generations as an honest tribute to the founder of the great poli tical union. By placing in our streets, in constant sight of our population, memorials of those who have conferred honour on the town, or who have rendered important services to their country, we excite a proper emulation, and cultivate a kindred spirit. In honouring those who have departed from amongst us we honour ourselves, and do much to promote our noblest, highest, and most cherished interests. (Loud applause.) In such a commemo ration as this, political differences should have no place, and therefore I accept this statue of Mr. Attwood as a memorial of one whose life was devoted to the advancement of what he felt to be 7 - • - - mportant principles, and who always zealously laboured for the benefit of this town. His memory will be long cherished—his deeds were not for the gratification of ambition. He laboured for the coun try at large ; and you, my fellow-citizens, acknow ledge his disinterestedness by the erection of this statue. On another ground lam glad to have this duty imposed upon me. Until within these last few years no large town in the kingdom was more destitute of public ornaments than Birmingham, but we have now to some extent rid ourselves of this reproach, and I trust it will not be long hence before one or other of my successors will be called upon to take part in proceedings of a similarnature to those on which VC are engaged to-day. As to the admirable work of art which you have now entrusted to me, as the representative of the burgesses, I can promise that it shall be scrupu lously cared for and protected as a public trust, and I hope that every inhabitant will feel that it is his individual duty to preserve both this and every other national monument from injury or defacement. Thanking the subscribers for their public spirit, and the committee for their zealous labour, I accept, in the name of the borough of Birmingham, this statue of one amongst the many eminent and patriotic of her sons. (Cheers.) Mr. EDMONDS bore his testimony to the fidelity with which the sculptor, Mr. Thomas, had executed his task, and proposed a round of three times three to his honour. The multitude cheered most lustily, Mr. Thomas, who stood at the base of the statue, bowing his acknowledgments. Several other speeches followed, at the termina tion of which a hearty vote of thanks was given to Sir John Ratcliff for his kindness in presiding, and the admirable manner in which he had conducted the proceedings. On the invitation of Messrs. Branson and Gwy ther, who had had charge of the erection of the statue, the Mayor and some thirty or forty other gentlemen afterwards partook of an elegant lun cheon at the Queen's Hotel.

It appears that the Austrian Government, by way of consoling itself for the failure of its last London loan, has taken from the National Bank a large advance in specie, " on account of that part of the loan which was not taken." If this information is to be understood literally, the " advance must be to rather a large amount. Though the Prince of Wales has left Italy, there is no expectation of his immediate return ; indeed it is more than likely that the young Prince will remain abroad until the full extent of the time originally appointed for his tra vels, though, of course, the direction has been considerably altered.—court Journal, JUNE 9, 1859.

General Urban's army, after a precipitate retreat from Varese, has become dispersed, and his scattered soldiers have been taken prisoners and disarmed. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY, June 8. General Gyulai's official report of the battle of Magenta, dated headquarters, Belgiojoso, 6th of June, has been published to-day. The Austrians have lost in killed and wounded from 4,000 to 5,000 men. The lost of the enemy is at least half as much again. Every line of the report proves the heroic power of the Austrians to withstand the attacks of the enemy. VIENNA, JUNE 8. The official Austrian Correspondance contains the following : After our troops had, according to orders, eva cuated Milan on Sunday last, the public func tionaries also relinquished their posts, and the charge of providing for the security of the town was transferred to the municipality. The Imperial Austrian functionaries hare with drawn to Verona, but it is possible that they may resume their posts and functions in Mantua. VERONA, JUNE 6. (Via Vienna.) The Austrian army has taken up a strong flank ing position between Abbiate Grasso and Binasco, TRIESTE, JUNE 8. A Greek steamer has arrived from Constantinople. The steamers of this line will run regularly every fortnight between Trieste and Constantinople. CORFU, JUNE 3. A Turkish squadron has arrived here, The following are some details of the attack o: Garibaldi on -Laveno Garibaldi, hoping to take the place by surprise, attacked it on the 2d, but the Austrians, who were 1,500 strong., had armed the forts with 38 guns. The volunteers, who had no cannon, attempted to take the forts by assault, but were beaten back with loss. After a pause, new columns of attack were formed, and they were principally directed against the fort St. Michel, which defends the approaches of the place, by crossing its fire with that of . an earthwork placed on the right bank of the little river which flows by the south part of the town. After a conflict, the fort was carried, but the volun teers could not hold it, because it was open on the side of the town, and was commanded by the fire from the upper part of the town. The volunteers, in consequence, had to retire, and some of them, being discouraged, fled into Switzerland, where, in the exaggerated style common to Italians, they related the disaster which had befallen them. From what they said it would have been supposed that the corps of Garibaldi was completely cut up. But, far from that, he reorganised his men, marched on Varese, and, suddenly attacking the Austrians who had returned there, drove them from the town, and pursued them some distance. A letter from Ponte-Tresa, on the Swiss frontier, says : The men of Garibaldi's band who arrived here are five in number; the eldest is apparently.about thirty, and two or three seem to be not more than twenty. They were greatly fatigued, but their manners are gentleman-like. Their costume is more like that of sportsmen than of soldiers, as they wear a large waistcoat furnished with several pockets, a sort of grey-coloured blouse, fastened round the waist by a belt, have trousers of any colour, and a small oilcloth cap ornamented with a tricolour cockade. Their arms are a sword and a musket ; the latter is not in a good state. Colonel Bontems, who commands at Ponte-Tresa, ques tioned the young men, and they declared that they were not deserters, and that it was by mistake, and from ignorance as to where the Swiss frontier began, that they had to come to the Swiss advanced posts. They said further that they belong to wealthy families, and to prove that they were not deserters, they asserted that they had plenty of money, and that they intended to rejoin Garibaldi. At their request vehicles were procured to convey them to Como, and they were not sent into the interior, as at first ordered. The following is the protest published by the Grand Duke of Tuscany against the authors of the revolution which has been accomplished in that country. It is dated Ferran', May 1: " The recent violence exercised in consequence of the Piedmontese revolution had for its object to impose on me acts contrary to the hour of my person, not less than to my will, to declare war in violation of the right attached to the sove reignty. In consequence of these proceedings I found myself compelled to abandon my dear Tus cany, and to seek an asylum at a distance in a friendly State, with which I am connected by reci procal treaties. I already protested solemnly at Florence on the morning of the 27th of April, in presence of the diplomatic corps accredited to my person. I protested, I repeat, against the above mentioned violence, declaring null and of no avail the acts in question. I protest again, this Ist of May, at Ferrara, most solemnly, against the violence which was offered to me, and I reiterate the declaration, then formally expressed, as to the nullity of the aforesaid acts, which evidently tend to disturb (in my States) acts sanctioned by the Treaty of Vienna in the year 1815, signed and guaranteed by the European Powers. For these reasons I wish that the entire responsibility of the above-mentioned acts may fall on those who, con trary to all justice, wished to impose them. " LEOPOLD." WALLACHIA. When the Central Commission was installed lately at Fokchany, the President of th e C ouncil of Wallachia read the following message from Prinee Couza Gentlemen —Two kindred nations this day unite in your persons, and I am unable to find expressions of gratitude to Providence sufficiently strong for having deigned to select me to be the first to congratula' 3 the Roumains on the new bond of union whi?h assembles you here. I bye to recommend to you the strictest concord. Arts. 27 to 37 of the Convention of Paris impose on you a heavy burden, but the more serious your task the greater your glory in accomplishing it. The two councils of ministers await with impatience the result of your deliberations, in order to organise the two countries. Your responsibility is great in the eyes of Europe, and I pray the Almighty to give you strength and prudence to perform your work carefully. As to me, I promise solemnly to do all in my power to promote the general good. May God protect the united Principalities ! ALEXANDER JEAN I." FRANCE. PARIS, JUNE 9. BOURSE, June B.—The market has been rather heavy to-day. Threes, after haying been done at 62f. 95c., declined to 62f. 50c., though there was a discount of 300,000 francs of Rente.

The following is the letter of our Calcutta corre spondent : CALCUTTA, MAY 5. The monsoon is upon us, and this letter leaves, therefore, on the sth inst. five days sooner than the ordinary date. • During the week incessant reports have been received of small skirmishes in the Trans- Gogra districts of Oude and in Buxar. They may all be referred to two great movements which the rebels are obviously striving to accomplish. The bands which fled into Nepaul are trying to cross Oude into Bundelcund, and the straggling parties in Bundelcund and Rewah are endeavouring to reach their comrades in Nepaul. The Nana, with a limited force, occupies the most easterly position in the Oude Terai, being posted in a little fort near Boohwal, just above Tirhoot. The Begum is further west in Kyreegurh, and efforts are made to induce her to surrender. The second movement from Rewah eastward has produced no conse quences, but small bodies, seldom more than 50 strong, have traversed Buxar, Shahabad, and Go ruckpore, and contrived, by the last reports, to reach the Serai. The rebels there, however, are still en closed. To escape they must either cross the Gun • duck, which is carefully watched, or Gonda, which Sir H. Grant holds himself, and then in either case find a route across the Gogra not guarded by Sikhs and irregulars. Such a feat would surpass any of Tantia Tepee's famous marches, and the rebels in Nepaul have hitherto shown no remarkable energy or courage. Their desultory efforts keep a con siderable body of troops in the field ; but most of the work is done by Sikhs, and I do not anticipate the mortality which so frequently accompanies a hot weather campaign. The work, however, is most wearisome to all who are out, and I am assured, on official authority, that the loss by deaths and in validing even now rises as high as 10 per cent. per annum, a terrible average among men-each of whom is brought some 16,000 miles. There is a report that the Nana has just put out a new proclamation, informing all Europeans that he will never give in, and that the new native army will turn upon us like the old ; but I mention it only to express my disbelief. Lord Clyde has arrived at Simla, and is completing, it is said, a plan for the permanent military occupation of Upper India. Its realisation must depend, however, on the re-organisation of the army, the delay of which is injurious in every way. The Five and a half per Cent. Loan was opened, according to advertisements, on the Ist of May, and an additional inducement offered, in the shape of a guarantee against repayment for 20 years ; and the Fives immediately sank to 871. This fall, however, is believed to have been caused by large sales ordered from England by persons anxious to convert their Four per cent. paper into Five. As yet the loan is not filling, but the pressure is temporary ; and little doubt is entertained that the 5,000,000 de manded by . Lerd Canning will be obtained. Orders, I am told, have been received here from England to abolish the Churruek Poojah, and dis connect Government from all idol trusts. The first order is creating some excitement among the natives. The churruck is the barbarous poojah, at which men torture themselves, swing with hooks through their-flesh, run pins through their tongues, and perform other disgusting ceremonies, often followed by death. It is in no favour with the educated, but• is considered incumbent on 'Zemin dars. They do not swing themselves, but compel or bribe some unhappy ryot to suffer on their behalf, the credit of the pain being transferred to them. Its abolition is a public benefit ; but the Hindoos, who thought the Queen's proclamation gave them back all their privileges of cruelty, talk of protesting. CHINA. We take the following from the Overland Friend of China of the 23d April : "Political news in this quarter is as scanty as it was when we last wrote—we have hardly an inci dent of importance to refer to ; and but for the hourly looked-for arrival of the Minister to Pekin, and other high functionaries, we see no prospect of a stir in the stagnation. " Consequent on the rumoured nearness of the insurgents, the Allied Commanders at Canton have issued the following notice, or rather this is our native reporter's rendering of it— "'Whereas our two nations have made a treaty with China and we are desirous of doi ng all we can to help the inhabitants of the Great Central Kingdom, recently, the Excellency Pepqui, the Lieutenant Governor, has repre sented to us the inability of the people to defend themselves against robbers who have daringly entered the 'city, and has requested us to allow the constable and watchmen to take back the arms which were compared by us last year. Loving the people as we do, there can be no objection to so reasonable a request ; and we readily comply with it. Be it known, therefore, that all who require' arms can obtain them, and so may the whole region be protected in peace and happiness. " Hienfung, 9th year, 2d moon, 29th day (April 2d, 1859).' " COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA MARKET, TUESDAY, MAY 3. Money Market.—Money has been more in demand, and rates in the bazaar range from 9 to 10 per cent. Government Securities have again declined to 13 per cent. discount for the Five per Cent., and to 27 percent. discount for the Four per Cent. ; the latter Stock, which is now shut out from transfer, will probably go lower. Exchange.—Since our last exchange on London—sales have been made at 2s. lid. for Bank bills, and 2s. ltd. for credit. A moderate amount of documentary also changed hands at 2s. lid. There have been no sales on China since the last mail. Freights.—No mate rial chan g e in rates si nce our last report. HONGKONG, APRI L 23. EXCHANGE AND BULLION. ORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION.

In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, the 21st, Mr. Horsman will move : • That the secrecy which characterises the foreign policy of Great Britain is at variance with the spirit of the constitu tion, and injurious to the national interests. That, with a view to more effectually securing that neu trality which the nation is desirous to maintain in any war that may arise out of the affairs of Italy, it is the duty of Parliament to inform itself of the exact state of our relations with the leading powers of Europe. That an humble address be presented to her Majesty, Praying that she will be graciously pleased to give directions that there be forthwith laid _before this house copies of all important communications that may have passed since the Ist day of January, 1855, between her Majesty's Govern ment and those o f F rance , R uss i a , P r ussia, Austria, Sar dinia, and Naples, on th e su bject of European differences. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8. THIRD READlNO.—Charing Cross Railway (changed from London Bridge and Charing Cross Railway.)—Peti tion and Order of Leave (4th February) read; Bill read first and second time ; and, ha vin g been reported and con sidered in the last session of Parliament, read a third HMO, THURSDAY, JUNE 9.

AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The screw steamship Nova Scotian, Captain Bor land, which sailed from Quebec on the 28th ultimo, arrived here this afternoon, bringing 385 passen gers (including 221 soldiers), but no specie. The Asia, hence, arrived at New York on the 26th ult. Lieutenant-General Sir W. Eyre, late Comman der of the Forces in Canada, returns by this steamer. Passengers from San Francisco deny the truth of the published statement that Walker had sailed with 300 men in the steamer Orizaba for Acapulco. Walker, however, had an agent at the Gila mines, enrolling volunteers for his filibustering expedition. The French had abandoned the Marquesas Islands for military purposes, and designed estab lishing a strong military and naval depot at New Caledonia Island. The plan embraces the restora tion of Queen Pomare as ruler of the Society Islands. The telegraph lines between New York and Quebec were out of order when the Nova Scotian sailed; the advices are therefore not so full as they would otherwise have been. At the latest date the stock market was not very active, but was firm and steady. The money market and sterling exchange had undergone no alteration. The Quebec timber market was without anima tion. Freights were quiet. The latest quotations were 28s. for Liverpool, 275. for Greenock, and 295. to 30s. for London. LATER BY THE ADELAIDE. GALWAY, TUESDAY. The screw steamer Adelaide arrived at 5 p.m , with six days' later news than the Persia. She brings 60 first, 114 second, and 130 third class pas sengers. She left New York on the 20th, and St. John's on the evening of the 31st, and brings tele grams from New York to the 30th, making the passage from St. John's in 6 days 13 hours. The passengers disembarked at 5.30 p.m., and will leave by this evening's train. On Saturday, the Adelaide spoke the barque Ac tteon, bound west ; all well. NEw YORK, May 27.—Advices from Mexico state that the Miramon cabinet has issued a decree restoring to Santa Anna all the rights and titles he formerly possessed, and inviting him to return via Tampico, where General Waul is marching to meet him. MAY 28.—Cotton is heavy, sales for the last two days amounting only to 1,300 bales ; upland mid dling, 111 c. Flour declined 10c. to 20c. Provisions steady and stocks improving. MAY 30.—Cotton nominal. Breadstuffs firm. Flour advanced ls. to 2s. under foreign news. Pro visions steady. Pork rather lower. Stocks dull and heavy; A fight had taken place between the troops and the Comanches at Arkansas River, in which 40 In dians were killed, and 36 prisoners taken. The Hammonia and Hungaria have arrived. The greater part of the Key West has been. burnt ; loss estimated at a quarter of a million. An extensive fire is also reported to have occurred in the sugar estates at Barbadoes. NEw ORLEANS, May 27.—Cotton nominal. Mid dling, 111 c. Sales for the week, 17,000 bales. Pier Majesty's ships Styx and Tartar were at St. John's when the Adelaide left. HOSPITAL FOBKIN. DISEASES OF THE S The anniversary festival of this excellent institution, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, took place yesterday at the Brunswick Hotel, Blackwall, under the auspices of Mr. Samuel Gurney, M.P., who was supported by Mr: Jona than Chapman, Mr. Rowel Morgan, F.R.C.S., Dr. J. Star tin, Mr. A. M' Whinnie, Mr. H. Weed, and Mr. Cornelius Hanbury. About fifty gentlemen sat down to dinner, which was supplied by Mr. Blagrove in a manner that gave xniversal satisfaction, every delicacy of the season being provided with the utmost liberality, and the wines well sustaining the deserved reputation of the Brunswick cellarage. This hospital, with its suite of baths, was established in 1841, after the model of the Hopital St. Louis, in Paris, for affording special medical aid to the poor of both sexes suffering from any form of cutaneous disease, and also to institute a school for the study of these complaints, and ar rive at a more successful mode of treatment than had pre viously been adopted for their cure. That the institution has been eminently advantageous in these respects may be deduced from the very large number of sick poor re lieved (nearly 100,000) since the foundation of the charity; from the number of students who have profited by the advantages of study afforded ; from the increased propor tion and rapidity of the cures effected as compared with previous experience ; and from the fact that, from the im proved methods of treatment now in practice, afflicted indi viduals from the various general hospitals and dispensaries, and from distant parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland ! often, after years of suffering, resort to this hospital, and obtain the desired relief. To extend still further the bene fits of the charity, wards are opened for the reception of female in-patients; the premises have been enlarged, and a class above the indigent poor are admitted on the pay ment of a small sum, according to their means. An esti mate of the value of this institution may be gathered from the result of 10,6.54 cases treated during the year. Of this large number 6,329 were cured, 4,313 were relieved and are still under treatment, and 12 died. The expenditure of the hospital for the past twelve months, including a debt of bygone years, was £1,611 15 0 To meet which sum there are— Donations and subscriptions to the hospital £466 3 5 Contributions from patients re ceiving the benefit of the hos pital 1,101 17 5 Leaving a deficit to be provided for £so9 17 7 e n e t; o d ih that ant fail t d e aid hr ee tyf oe isthereforereferring secure nallg ntoosttheu ac hp m f pa made ts heralein n y mt vain heststated,ptuurgent o .esg p ie u dn b e ihtcaepa;pb benevolence, n e a e cl e l o v fm a: assured r! , co operation and support as will enable them to carry out the design of the institution, and to meet the increasing claims upon it in a manner worthy of the object and of this great metropolis. The CHAIRMAN proposed in suitable terms, "Prosperity to the Hospital for Diseases of the Skin," and, adverting to the fact that funds were still required for further extend ing its usefulness, called upon the friends of the institution to increase their contributions, and redouble their exertions on its behalf. It was a gratifying feature, in connexion with the charity, that no less than £687 had been sub scribed by the patients themselves. This was an example which he should like to see followed by other eharities. The toast was drunk with enthusiani. The healths of Mr. Startin, Mr. M'Whinnie, the Chat man, and other friends of the hospital having been duly honoured, the secretary announced subscriptions to the amount of nearly £2,000.
