They return, like the Aus tralian "Boomerangs," to those by whom they were dismissed, and only wound the hands that aimed the missiles. The speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to his constituents was sufficiently •damaging to the family party who seemed to think that they had a- " right divine" to place and power, who could not rest contented in the " cold shade" to which they had been consigned by their own truckling and undignified policy ; but its force has been greatly increased by the wild tactics of the new confederates. It has again and again bedn brought forward, and every time with more de, tided success to the Ministry. On ; Fri , day, Lord JOHN RUSSELL contrived once more to "upset the coach." The castiga tion which he they received will not speedily Or easily be forgotten. He writhed under the flagellation, so well merited, and so unsparingly administered. That did not suffice. The veteran Viscount —the convenient asgociate of a dozen administrations, endeavoured to come to the rescue, or rather to follow up the attack. It seems that the determination was to hunt in packs —so that what could not be achieved by individual prowess might be accom plished by wearying out the doomed victim. But the skilful and practised maitre d' armes met one even more " cunning of fence," fully able to protect himself, and to retort on his adversary— and the wild passes of his bottleholders were easily parried by the accomplished seconds, who entered the arena after the English M. HYENNE had been placed hors de combat. Never did the Financial Minister appear to greater advantage that last night, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, and he Attorney-General for Ireland, fully maintained their well established reputations Poor Sir GEORGE GREY, and still poorer Lord JOHN RUSSELL, were not merely castigated, but pickled. The lash was vigorously applied, and every strin gent cut struck home, and made the unwilling recipients wince. The operations of Friday and Monday were, as truly stated, " a combined movement," but they fell completely to the ground. The Right Hon. Gentleman against whom they were aimed was " too cunning of fence," or rather was too completely armed with the panoply of truth and justice, to be pierced by such missiles. His oppo nents felt and quailed under the scourge. They yowled under the well-merited laceration, and may even at the eleventh hour, discover that " discretion is the better part of valour." Lord PALMERSTON himself occupied too fragile a domicile to indulge in pastime so dangerous and 30 unusual. Had there been anything wrong in the address at Slough, it could not be compared o the reckless demonstration of the 9th Nov., when he cast down his gage before all the great Powers, or like the excited Hibernian at a provincial fair, or pattern trailed his "eotasnore" Along the ground, and defied any one to tread on the dust-besprinkled skirt. If everything said out of the House to constituencies or cenviviial parties—if every postprandial oration was to be made the subject of repeated and protracted dis cussion, the business of the nation will suffer materially. The Opposition could not sneer at the alleged shortcoming of the Government, when they themselves were alone to blame for the gross waste of much valuable time. The debates have not, however, been useless ; the discussions have not been altogether thrown away. They have exhibited in the strongest light, the fallacies promulgated by the Whigs—the absurdity of supposing that either Lord PALMER STON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL were the recognised leaders, or could command the support of the in dependent Liberals. On this point, Mr. DISRAELI made some unpleasing revelations. He said : " I want to know whether the Bucks speech is 401 to be the subject of the adjourned debate, and what the result is to be. I take it for granted that there is to be no division. Divisions are no longer the fashion. As far as I could collect from the noble lord opposite (the member for London) on Friday night, the object of the demonstration was to exhibit the great Liberal party in opposi tion to the Government. That is a legitimate and constitutional course for a party to take. If the noble lord is a Liberal ; if he sympathises with the great Liberal party he is perfectly justified in show ing to the country the opinions of the great Liberal party in opposition to the opinions of those who occupy the Treasury bench. Bnt lam bound to say that I do not see bow that clearly applies to the Noble Lord who addressed us to-night, because I cannot understand any feeling, sentiment, or interest that unites the Noble Lord and the mem bers of the late Government with the great Liberal party. I take the operations of Friday and Mon :lay together because they were a combined move ment, and I shall address myself to the united demonstration, though I confess I cannot clearly see the drift of the movement. I cannot see how the two Noble Lords and the great Liberal party opposite can act together. The great Liberal party are in favour of vote by ballot. Are the members of the late Government in favour of the ballot ? The great Liberal party are in favour of the abolition of church rates. Is the late Government in favour of the abolition of church rates ? The great Liberal party is in favour of the motion of the Hon. Member for Surrey for the extension of the county franchise. Is the late Government in favour of that proposal? All we knew is that they opposed it on principle wheel it was brought forward formerly. There is another subject in which the great Liberal party are interested. It is the subject of economy. Were the late Government in favour of economy ? It is my painful duty every day of my life to be a witness to the expenditure of the late government, and a more reckless, extra vagant, profuse expenditure never existed. The great Liberal party are in favour of publicity. They always look for publicity in transactions of th e greatest importance. Now, there never was a government which exercised such a reserve in affairs of state as the late government. The only charges which they were always urging against those who sit hero were that they did produce public documents. The only charge against a s was that we published a dispatch ; but no one can say that we ever intercepted, a letter." It would be difficult, if not impossible, to expose the falsity of the pretensions that have been urged, the absurdity of the claims put for ward in mare decided and unequivocal terms. At all events, we may say, that Lord PALMPRSTON has taken nothing by his motion, and that neither himself nor his new friend have as yet succeeded in Extricating themselves from the " Slough of Despond" into which they were cast, by the skilful hand of the Financial Minister.

The phrase was peculiarly felicitous. It bit hard, and the extra ordinary sensitiveness displayed by the party, show that the wound is still rankling. But, in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY' EVENING, JUNE 1, 1858 Gulf, are at length in a fair way of being carried out in the right direction and upon the right principle. Hitherto England has not been secur ing to herself what has nevertheless been all along entirely at her option —a, perfect and absolute in dependence. As Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY took occasion to remark while he was President of the Board of Trade, this country has hitherto been in curring a terrible hazard in the event of war, the risk of having abruptly cut off at any moment the accustomed channels of intelligence. The obso lete semaphore was perpetually liable to the most tantalising interruptions by reason of a fog, of a mist, of any unexpected obscuration of the atmos phere. The electric wire is continually in yet greater jeopardy of being at any instant rendered altogether useless. Traversing as it does one after another of the continental nations, it may be any where in its course snipped by the intervention of a popular insurrection, or by a rupture with the Government. If not destroyed it may be turned to our own serious and immediate disad vantage. Through it information of the most vital importance may be transmitted to the enemy most inopportunely. The necessity of obviating this liability to fatal consequences as speedily and effectually as possible has been rapidly becoming i more and more obvious to the whole community, and has at length forced itself upon the recognition of the more enterprising and intelligent. An under taking of the most daringly comprehensive kind, well imaginable, has at last been set on foot, and happily with every reasonable prospect before it of being carried before long to the most satisfactory conclusion. Reference is here made, of course, to the project for the laying down, by means of an electric cable, of a grand European and American Telegraph —a submarine line, in fact, not simply either European or American, not merely both together, but one literally bringing the ends of the earth into instantaneous commu nication, linking the eastern with the western hemisphere, knitting closely with one another the extremities of Asia and the extremities of Ame rica by a metallic cord running from one to the other between the African and the European con tinents, namely, along the bed of the Mediter ranean. A preliminary meeting in furtherance of this great object has been held in the City of London, and a lucid explanation of the whole scheme was then given by Mr. EDWIN CLARKE, the eminent civil engineer, and previously by the distinguished chairman of the occasion, Mr. JAMES WYLD, M.P. for Bodmin, a man, whose opinion is undoubtedly of the very highest value and importance upon the subject—Mr. WYLD being, as every one knows, one of the most gifted and authoritative of all our living hydrographers. It is proposed by the adoption of this new route that England shall at last be rendered alto gether independent of the nations of the European continent in regard to its electric communications with Hindostan. It is in tended, for example, in the first instance, to carry a line right on from Plymouth to Alexandria by way of Gibraltar and Malta —our own military stations—or still by a submarine electric cable to our remote Asiatic possessions. Turning in the opposite direction, it is suggested that from Lisbon the cable should branch west wards by way of Flores, one of the Azores, ts some point on the coast of the United States---say to Boston or Charlestown. As to the engineer ing difficulties in the way of such an extraordinary double enterprise, what are the distinct and authoritative views most recently expressed ? Why, Mr. WYLD has directly asserted, that " se far as the line between Plymouth and Lisbon, and thence to Malta was concerned, which was the part he was anxious to see first undertaken, there was not the slightest room for doubt respecting the laying of the cable, as the sound ings of every inch of the ground were already accurately known." The honourable gentleman having Already rernarkod that " difficulties fully as great as those which might be anticipated be tween the Azores and Boston, or Charlestown, had been successfully overcome in the Mediter ranean lines, where the cable had been laid over chasms in the bed of the sea, as deep as any that would in all probability be encountered in the Atlantic." Upon this point, Mr. EDWIN CLARKE was afterwards, if possible, still mere explicit. " From Flores to Boston," he said, " over the Atlantic, he could only judge by analogy and comparison. There might not be a plateau, or there might ; but that was of no consequence, and very little advantage. There might be chasms; but these had been found in the Mediterranean, and the lines had been successfully laid over them. Dspths there were ; but these were not obstacles, nor difficulties, they were only special circum stances, requiring special treatment on the part of the engineer. Where he had found difficulties in hying down cables—and he had submerged four across one sea between Holland and England—he had found no difficulty from depths, but rather from the want of depths. The shallows, not the depths, were troublesome." Opinions like these, remember, are the satisfactory and reliable results of practical experience. Than the deliberate views thus expressed by an eminent geographer like Mr. WYLD, and subsequently by an eminent engineer like Mr. CLARKE, nothing, we con ceive, could well be more satisfactory. Every syllable is full of encouragement. As regarded that part from Lisbon, by the Azores to Boston, Mr. CLARKE said "he could answer for the space from Lisbon to Flores that there was no engineering difficulty in submerging the cable that came within his own knowledge." As to the practicability of trailing the cable along the bed of the Mediterranean—that has been already again and again conclusively demonstrated--even, as we have seen, to the crossing of chasms "as deep," according to the Member for Bodmie, "as any that would in all probability be encountered in the Atlantic." From Flores on to Boston we shall see soon what the chances of success are likely to be from the result of the new enterprise now on the eve of being carried out in:mid-ocean for the laying down of the transatlantic telegraph. From Alexandria on to Hindostan the route has yet to be selected. According to Captain PULLEN'S statement, ad dressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, and dated "Suez, April 15, H.M.'s steamer Cyclops," THE NEw INFANTRY R EGIMENT .—W e l earn f rom Que no better route could well be chosen th an that bee that between seven and eight hundred men of the temptingly offered to us by the Red Sea, Capt. 100t,h Regiment were collected there on the 13th of May.

The enormous, indeed, we may say without exagge ration, the absolutely incalculable advantages accruing from the completion of such an under taking, cannot by possibility be overlooked by the Administration. Once let us realise this magni ficent project, and we shall be independent of foreign nations, and whether in peace or in war our vast and scattered dominions will be perma nently consolidated by means of one comprehen sive system of electro-telegraphic intercourse. • The Ministerial arrangements necessitated by the resignation of Lord ELLENBOROUGH have been completed. Lord STANLEY is to be the President of the India Board, and Sir E. BIILWER LYTTON the Secretary for the Culonies. We need scarcely repeat what we have so often declared, our deep regret at the loss of the inestimable services of the Noble Earl, who, with the peculiar chivalry for which he has ever been conspicuous, offered himself up as a voluntary sacrifice to allay the acrimonious spite of the Opposition. Had he not done so, the Ministerial triumph would have been signal and complete. The " coiti-con fiscation," policy, which he so ably and so nobly advocated, would have been sane tinned by both Houses of Parliament as it has been by the voice of public opinion, Speaking trumpet-tongued in his praise. At Cannon Rovi the Earl of ELLENBOROUGUI was " the right man in the right place." - He was peculiarly qualified for the position. His great experience, combined with the energy and decision indispensable, were all that could be desired or hoped for. It is not any disparagement to Lord STANLEY to say, that we regret the change, although there is no doubt that he will make an excellent Indian Minister, second only to the Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH. His talents Lave been duly appre ciated by friends and foes. Thera has been no Administration for several years that had not courted his aid. He was justly looked on as " the coming man," the incipient Statesman who might yet be called on to direct and control the destinies of the United Kingdom. He is well acquainted with Indian affairs, and he did not acquire his information by any royal road. He travelled and encountered all the inevitable difficulties and annoyances to which the Indian wayfarer is exposed. But he acquired knowledge in the only way it could be won, and perhaps, next to Lord ELLENBOROUO; he is the very best man for the situation. By the death of the Duchess d'Orleans the French budget saves 200,000 f. a year, which neither the Republic nor the coup d'etat attempted to withdraw, it being the national cl,wre gertl,i by France, but there is no rev,+r sior.a-y interest in the Count de Paris. Toe Bard of Trade have advert Lied the co:tditiokis cf tender for the construction of a single line of railway and telegraph at the Cape from Capeto ovn to Wellington, via Stellenbosch, under a guarantee from the colony, which will also furnish the requisite land. The parties tendering are to state the rate and duration they will require as regards guaranteed interest, and also the period , to be allowed them for completing and opening tho undertaking. OPENING OF THE LEEDS NEW TOWN HALL BY HER MAJESTY.--LEEDS, Monday. —We have great pleasure in announcing that her Majesty the Queen has graciously signified her intention of being present in Leeds at the latter end of August, for the purpose of inaugurating the noble Town Hall of this borough. The Hampshire Advertiser contradicts the statement that Portsmouth is being strongly fortified, and asserts that •` the old forts are not worth the mud they consist of." It was intimated yesterday to the London bankers by the Board of Inland Revenue that, except in the mutual arrangements between bankers, clerks presenting cheques will not be recognised as representing their employers so as to exempt such cheques when drawn payable to "self " and not to bearer from the penny stamp. This decision will be satisfactory to the public, since the other prac tice would have led to numerous inconvenient and petty evasions, which in the aggregate would seriously have interfered with the revenue expected to be derived from the new impost. The rate of interest on French Treasury Bonds has been fixed at 3 per cent, for those of from 3 to 6 months, and 3t- per cent, for those of from 6 to 12 months. This involves no alteration except a reduc tion of a half per cero. in those having more than 11 months to run, which, duce the 18th of last March, have carried 4 per cent. The telegrams from Bombay describe an adverse tendency in the market for manufactured goods. There is some discrepancy in the quotation of the rate of ex change, but it is believed to be 2s lid, which would show a further improvement of a half per cant, in our favour. In the prices of Government Stocks there was no altera tion, the 5 per Cents, being at 92, and the 4 per Cents. at 821. There has been no later intelligence from China. The Moniteur announces that on and after the 31st of May the interest on Bons du Tresor will be 3 per cent. for those of from three to six months, awl 31 per cent. for those from six to twelve months. THE LATE HUGH MILLER.—It is perhaps not generally known that a fund is at present being raised to secure the permanent maintenance in this country of the valu able museum collected by this distinguished geologist. Government had destined 5001. for this purpose, but the Rum of 1,000 guineas having been offered by an Ame rican college, it has become necessary, in order to secure the deposition of the collection in one of our national institutions, that the sum offered by Government should be supplemented by public or private contributions, and a subscription has accordingly been commenced in Edinburgh, under the auspices of the Lord Provost. About 3001. are still needed to complete the purchase money and cover the expenses of removal . and arrange ment. The whole nation will rejoice at the accession to office of Sir E. BIILWER LYTTON. He is in deed a great man, capable of adding strength to any Government, and his absence from office was felt as a material drawback on the formation of the present Cabinet. He is now a Secretary of State, and we are convinced that the highly cultivated iutellecf, the mental power for which he is so remarkably distinuishecl, will be displayed to the best advantige in the administration of the affairs of our numerous and important colonies. We believe that the com munity at large will cordially concur in the opi nion that the new Ministerial arrangements are the best that could be formed under the peculiar circumstances. DEATH OP STEPHEN COPPINOER, Est—This gentle man, who had been an active member of the Roman Catholic Association, died rather suddenly yesterday. He attended the funeral of Mr. John O'Connell, on Friday, when he appeared in good health. Mr. Cop piner was a b , rrister, in the enjoyment of emolumen tary practice. TRINITY MONDAY.—Yesterday being Trinity Mon day, a special general court was held at the Trinity House, on Tower-hill, at which his Royal Highness the Prince Consort was unanicnotray re-electA master, and Captain John Shepherd deputy master, of that ancient corporation, for the ensuing year.

Oa Sunday night an inoffen sive man, named Larkin, was stabbed with a knife, in the town of L'orrisakane. His death was instantaneous. This deed was perpetrated whilst the police were stilt engaged dragging the river in which the body of Greene was found, in search of the instrument used in his mur der. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—Three motions on this subject are on the eve of coming under discussion in the House cf Commons. The hilt for the abolition of the property qualification will go into committee on Wed nesday, the 2d inst. ; Mr. Berkeley's ballot motion stands for Tuesday, the fich ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has granted Thursday, the 10th, to Mr. Locke King, for his bill for the extension of the county franchise. BRUTAL MURDER.—A most brutal murder was com mitted at St. Anthony's, near Newcastle-on. Tyne, on Sunday morning, and from such particulars as have transpired it appears to have originated in those unhappy differences that have existed in Tyneside between the Irish Roman Catholics and Pro testants recently. On Saturday afternoon a newly married couple named Mearns, residing at Bill Point, abotit four miles below Newcastle, visited that town, where they purchased a quantity of furniture, and late in the evening they set out for home, carrying their purchases with them. They called at a beerehop at St. Peter's on their stray home, where they fell in with a man named Kane, Mrs. Mearn'e brother in-law, who proceeded towards their home with them, along with two other persons. Nothing of any particu lar moment occurred until they were passing a public house where an Orange lodge is held. A group of men were standing near this house, and from all that can be gathered some one in the group must have fired a pistol at Kane, for his sister and brother-in-law, who were in advance, were startled by its report, and on turning back saw Kane lying on the ground, and the men who had been standing in a group attack ng him. One of them was striking him with a kn:fe. After killing him they fled. The unfortunate man must have died instantaneously, for in addition to the pistol wound he had received two or three stabs in the back and a frightful gash on the right side of the throat. Tete Nor thumberland County Constabulary have apprehended Michael Marn, John Jarvey, Patrick Brown, and Jo seph Johnstone, on suspicion of being concerned in the affray, and they have been lodged in the Moot-hall, Newcastle-on-Tyne. BODY OF A MURDERED CIIILD FOUND IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.-0a Sunday forenoon, as police-con stables 218 and 364 N, were on duty by the Haggerstone Gas Works, Shoreditch,their attention was called to a basket in the Regent's-canal. Upon its being taken out of the water, the body of a child was discovered in it much mutilated. There was a flatiron in the basket fas tened round the neck of the child, which was no doubt put there to prevent the body when in a ;tate of decompo sitien rising, and there were also several r oun d s of wire about the body with an iron hoop att ac h e d to the handle of the flat-iron. There was a l so i n the basket a -sroa heldd, sair e l ste that rla y h ats ex the 1.. black watered silk apron with lilac-col oure d rows at the bottom of it. Aninquest Black Horse, Kingsland-road. Jae. Clark, sur grueionne'd the body of Acton - place, icng the deceased, w hi c h hi found very much mutilated. He believed that th e dectaced was i ia6 was about six years of age. (Some of the jury said they thought she was older.) Toe body was that of a female ; and had been dead about 10days. The bones of the bead, from having been so long in the water, had bsecome separated. There was a fracture of the temporal bones, which in his opinion t..pk place before death. The fr .ntal and occipital bones, as also that of the nose, were fractured. The body presented the appearance of having been subject to burning after death to prevent identification. It looked as if it had been semi -roasted. From the appearance of the body he was of opinion that the child had been killed before it was put into the water. Tne jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.—Farming prospects in the north-midland counties are generally of the most satisfactory character. A more favourable spring than the present, both for seedling operations and cleaning the laud, has never been known, and, as there have been frequent showers of rain within the last month or two, all the grain crops have come up remarkably even and well, while the root crops give promise of unusual weight and promise. There is no deficiency of wheat plant anywhere ; cn the contrary, it stands much too thickly on the ground in many places, notwithstanding the efforts that have been made to reduce the superabun dance. The prevalence of cool, dull, and rather humid weather has had the effect of t urn i ng some of the crops yellow in places, and instances arc reported of the plant being already laid by the rains; but a; the temperature has now taken a higher range it may be hoped that the crops thus deteriorated will soon recover. lithe weather snould prove bright and warns fur the greater part of the next two or three months there will be an abundant wheat harvest. Barley has generally come up even and fine, and promises to be of excellent quality generally. Beans and peas look very healthy. Potatoes also have a vigorous appearance. Turnips and rnongold wurt zsl are new generally above ground, and have come up very satisfactorily. Orchards and fruit gardens give pro mise of unusal abundance. Generally speaking there has been a large fail of lambs, but in some districts con siderable Fosses of ewes have been sustained. Sheep shearing has been rather later than useal thisyear owing to the coldness of the weather, but on all hands a good crop c f wcol is spoken of. The hay harvest will not now be so late as was at one time anticipated. Both mew down and oil pastures have a luxuriant appearance. - - LORD BROUGHAM AND GOVERNORNer,:s.—Lord Brougham, in his speech at the meeting cf the Anti- Slavery Society, arldtmed a fact, upon nn leniable authority which completely explodes the statements put forth by the opponents of West Indian emanci pation, that sugar cannot be cul;ivated at a re munerative profit without slave labour. The authority was a let er from the Hon. F. mucks, formerly .Prime Minister of Canada, and now Governor-Gene ral of the Windward Llandg and the fact referred to was, that an estate in the ieland of Barbadooe, which was sold in 1833, end: r the impreseion that sugar gro wing could no • louver be successfully prosecuted,is now producing, by free labour, three times as much sugar as it then did, and has lately been sold at an enormously enhanced price. Stich fasts as th«ss are held by hi.ilordeihip to prove that the re sults of free labour are as beneficial to the proprietor of the coil as to the labourer, the greatly increased value of the estate sufficiently showing that the augmented productiveness of the estate bad not been brought about by an expenditure which left no profit.—Liverpool Albion, LATEST NEW. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING. On the 29th of May the two French liners left Gravosa, but they have received orders to remain in the Adriatic until they receive further instruc tions. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. Th 3 first series of guests invited by the Emperor and Empress to Fan tainbleau have taken their de parture, and the personages whose names are in cluded in the second list have left Paris to join their Majesties. Among them are Count de Kiseeleff and Baron de Hubner, the Russian and Austrian Ministers. A Paris l e tt er, i n th e N ord of Brussels, says : " The first two sittings of the Conference were taken up with the reading of the report of the Baron de Talleyrand-Perigord on the state of the Danubian provinces. This report is marked by a considerable' knowledge of the interests, the wants, and the wishes of Moldavia and Wallachia, and by a clear statement of the necessity of a political union. Baron de Talleyraud, has, however, recom mended, in a spirit of conciliation, the postpone ment for the present of the realisation of the union, and confined himself to such internal reforms as may prepare the way for the eventual union of the provinces. What now remains to be done? To draw up regulations for the reorganisation of each of the two provinces, the preparatory draft ofwhich will serve as the basis of the next deliberations 'of the Conference. Such is the principal motive which has caused the third sitting to be postponed to the sth June. M. do Pane still lies at St. Germain, without hopes of recovery. The ill-feeling engendered by this affair is increasing. A struggle between the military and the bourgeoisie took place last evening at a cafti in the Rue de Bondy ; the military ex pelled a carpenter from the café ; but he returned with some of his' fellow-workmen, and the troops were in their turn expelled. The Foupe/liste,„ of Marseilles, of the 28th IMay, states that at 5 in the morning of the preceding day two non-commissioned officers of the 58th In fantry fought a duel on the high ground near where the Imperial Palace is being built. The weapon used was the sword. One of the combat ants was killed on the spot, and the other slightly wounded in the abdomen. After the survivor's wound was dressed he was committed to the mili tary prison at Marseilles. BOURSE, May 31.—The reduction of the rate of interest on the Bons du Treior has had no influ ence on the prices of the Rente, which has been offered, owing to sales for the impending settle ment.

This resignation has caused considerable sensation, M. Grimm, formerly tutor of the Grand Duke Constantine, and who has since retired to Dresden, Las been seat for to replace M. Titoff," PRUSSIA. Lord Wodehouse, lately representative of Eng land in Russia, arrived en the 29111 ult. at Berlin from St Petersburg, and intended remaining for some few days in the Prussian capital before pro ceeding to London. Sir Arthur Magesnis, the English Minister at Stockholm, is also at present in Berlin: A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult. says :—"Some journals assert that Prussia has addressed to Aus tria p. note, threatening to withdraw from the Ger manic confederation - and others say she h as on l y expressed the intention of retiring from the Zoll verein. We can, however, affirm that both ass!r ___ • tions are erroneous. The note referred to is rcla. tive to the tendency which Austria has lately manifested of causing the delibera•ions of the Diet to prevail by a simple majority. It opposes that tendency, and says that if persisted in it may have the result of causing the separation of some States which feel themselves aggrieved by that course. But that is far from being a threat to leave the Confederation. Prussia only seeks the maintenance and development of federal institutions as they exist, but Austria wants to obtain a preponderating influence in Germany. Austrian journals are wrong in complaining of Prussia as the cause why the two Powers are not always in accord ; for it is Austria which prevents a good understanding by her continual encroach ments." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 27th ult. contain long accounts of the Queen's visit to Alicante, from which it appears that in tEat city her Majesty was received with great enthusiasm. Mr. Buchanan, the n w English Minister, was there presented to -her Majesty, but not officially. The papers contain no political news. They state that the heat had become very great in Madrid.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. We notice with satisfaction the intimation of the •.:';overuors of the Royal Free Hospital to celebrate Mlle thirtieth anniversary of this excellent charity t the Freemazons' Tavern, under the presidency Earl Powis, on Wednesday, the 9th. In noticing t his event it is scarcely necessary for us to direct the a ttention of our readers to the great merits of an i nstitution already EO well known ; still we only 7fe:l it to be a duty incumbent on its to state that ,before the founding of this noble charity on the 'principle of free and insiant relief, without the de .• :lay and trouble of seeking a governor's letter by the destitute poor in times of illness, by Dr. Marsden, it‘ospital relief in London was an abuse and be , Ea towed in mo s t cases on those whose position and C rerimstauces in life would enable them to pay for n redicine. Wh , ,n we state that over 45,000 de a crying poor and industrious persons are annually r eliev.ed at the Royal Free Hospital, a number far xceeding that applying to St. 'Bartholomew's I:l.ospital with an income of over 40,0001. a-year, it , is almost needless to say how strong are its aims on public favour. We hope that on the occasion of the anniversary d inner a substantial appreciation of the merits of V: he Royal Free Hospital will be recorded. RASHLEY. HER MAJES?Y'S THEATRE. The " Old House" is making its distinguished audiences feel quite " at home ;" and now offers another item of entertainment not to be easily resisted, in the form of Mozart's " I\l . ,2zze di Figaro." _ The cast is unusually strong, combining Mdlle. Titiens as The Countess, Madame Octolani as Cherubim°, and Piccolowini as Susannah ; with Beneventano, Be!art, Costelli, Rossi, and Belletti as the male rep resen t a ti ves. S uch a ' list of names needs no recommendation, and the whole per formance is of an order to bravely maintain the prestige of Mr. Lumley's name. On Thursday next this charming work will be again given ; on Saturday " Il Trovatore" will vary the repertoire, and on Monday, June 7th, a grand morning per formance of " Don Giovanni" will afford an op portunity for those to ravel in the glories of Mozart who may object to the late hours of usual operatic productions. The Ballet has received a sparkling additional supporter in Madlle. Marie Taglioni, who appears in a new divertissmont entitled "La Refine des Songe.i." Her spirited and elegant style of dancing enhances the tone of the ballet at this house, and forms an alluring feature to those who adore the " light fantastic ical excelle n c e . toe," in its genuine and mag ROYAL ITALIAN OPLRA. The same spirit and determination wYcla carried Mr. Gye tirough the Herculean task of raising a mighty and massive theatre in an incomparably short period, enable him to give Opera and Ballet within that theatre with equally well-sustained power and correct detail ; exhibi t i ng an earnestness of purpose in the manager which cannot fail to secure popular support on the most liberal scale. It would be inconsiderate and exacting to expect a great, variety of role in the producdons at so early a period of the season ; for, in act entirely new theatre, a vast and almost incredible amount of expenditure is required to put numerous operas on the stage with all befitting accessaries ; and a de gree of familiar sameness in the " bill of fare" may be cordially tolerated, when the dishes have been so pinctually served to the momsnt mentioned, and are so well campounded when served. " Les Huguenots" has drawn crowded houses since the openiug, and "La Traviata," which is now.trking its place, appears likely to be still more a ttractive —whether on =omit of any super-excellent quality in Verdi's music, or tne questionable notoriety of the subject, we will not venture to dis:Aiss. Cer tain it is, that with such a cast as Mr. Gye affords the opera, it is calculated to have a run and prove remunerative—two important - points in managerial diplomacy. Madlle. Bosio is an invaluable addition to the company, and undertakes the character cf Vioiettu with brilliant success. Her singular sweetness of voice, ease of execution, and gracefulness of de meanour, render her thoroughly adapted to make the part as perfect as it can be ; and we doubt if the airs, "Libiamo" and " Sernpre libera," were over sang with more florid and beautiful effect than by this accomplished artiste. Gardoni replaces Mario as Alfredo, and, though not quite equal to the great tenor, does ample justice to the music, and interprets the part in a gentlemanlike manner. Tagliafico, Graziani, Pulonini,Lalzer sustain the other chief charaettrs. Costa's orchestra does him infinite credit, the instrumental performance being in the most perfect and finished style, while the scenery, dresses, decorations, and general appoint ments are in every way worthy of their cranium; tion with " grand opera." LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.) ROUSE OF LORD-APPEAL. BURROWAS AND ANOTHER. V. GORE AND ANOTHER."'" EXPARTE AS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS. This case was appointed to be re-heard by one counsel of a side this morning, at half-past ten o'clock, but the great Shrewsbury Peerage case was taken first. Their lordships are now delivering judgment i n this peerage claim. It is expected that it will occupy 01/ whole of the day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justic e Coleridge, Mr. Jastice Erle, and Mr. Justice Croror too.) Lord Stanley, the newly-appointed President of the Board of Control, attended the Court this morning, and was sworn in before Mr. Justice Coleridge as a Fri/ Councillor. THOMAS V. FOXWELL. This was an action for the infringement of a patent for the construction of sewing machines. This, and other cases of a similar character, have occupied tbo time of the Court for a considerable period. Lord Campbell this morning delivered the judgmen t of the Court. Their lordships were of opinion that the rule in this case ought to be made absolute for entering a non-:mit ou the ground that combination in the second clause in the plaintiff's specification was not new at 00 date of his patent, and that it was included in Fiabe r and Gibbon's prior right of 1844. Should the Court, on demurrer, set aside their judgment for a non-salt' the rule would be for a new trial, the costs in the Srst action to abide the result of the second trial. SCRIVENOR V. REED—IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANO. This was a demurrer. An action had been brono by the plaintiff against the defendant, a publican, for forcing him out of his house. The defendant ha d pleaded in justification, and it was averred that the plaintiff would not go down stairs when requested, a nd that, as his presence in the room was an annoyance 1 0 the guests therein, ha was forced out. Mr. Metcalfe was heard in support of the demurrer. The Court were unanimously of opinion that jar meat should be for the defendant. A guest in a public" house or an hotel had no right to demand the use of particular rooms in an inn to the annoyance of other guests. He was not to wander over the premises and locate himself where he pleased, but confine himself to that part of the house where the landlord had provided accommodation for him. In this case the plea Wa g good and the judgment of the Court was for the de' fondant. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE 13ABROW AND HAMMOND—THE RECENT MAIO IN THE CITY. To-day was appointed for a meeting for proof of deb t° and ohoice of assignees, under the estate of these ban k ' rupts, who had carried on business as merchants is Basiughall-street, and were convicted at the last sitting of the Central Crimi na l C ourt of forgery, and sentence " to 15 years' transportation. The prisoners were brought up from N ew gate, i ll Custody, that they might surrender under the Bankrup t Law. From the preliminary statement, by Messrs.
