The session is now rapidly approaching its ter mination. For once noble lords and right hon ourables and honourable gentlemen will be per mitted to depart before August, and that although the Ministers were not regularly installed in office and re-elected until the close of the second week in March. They have certainly not been idle during the interval. The vexed question respecting the future government of India has been satisfactorily disposed of. The property qualification has been for ever abolished, and there is every reason to hope that the discussions and divisions which have taken place will lead to the settlement of questions in which the community at large take a deep interest, including the Ballot, the Extension of the Franchise, and the Abolition of Church rate!. Ministers have acquired a high reputation for the zeal, energy, and ability displayed. They have shown that they were a vast im provement on the select family party whom they superseded, and the hints thrown out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer indicate that much more will be done when time and opportunity are propitious. Mr. DISRAELI last night answered several inter • rogatories that had been exhibited during the evening, and in a perfectly straightforward and satisfactory manner. There was no mystification. He spoke plainly and distinctly, so that " he who runs might read," and clearly understand the real state of the case. The first point referred to the creation of a department of justice, in conformity with the resolution of the House of Commons, adopted two years since. It was carried, on the motion of the Right Hon. JOSEPH NAPIER, now Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and was supported by those who now occupy the Ministerial benches. The members of the Cabinet would, therefore, rejoice in bringing to a satisfactory conclusion a measure entirely their own, and for which they could claim the entire credit, and which had been ne glected by their predecessors for two entire years. Considering the vast amount of pressing business that could not possibly be postponed, the country has every reason to be satisfied with the intima tion that, " when the necessary information on the subject was supplied, ho (Mr. DISRAELI) would be prepared to act iu accordance with thcA resolution at which the house had arrived." On the all-important question of Church-rates that now occasions so much vexation and annoy ance, and which ought to be disposed of, no less for the sake of the Church by law established, than,for that of the numerous and influential congregations of Dissenters who conscientiously object to the impost, Mr. DISRAELI declared that "her MAJESTY'S Ministers did not relinquish the hope of settling the question, and that they Many of the Liberals b the House of Commons are getting uneasy. They have again, we are told, made an attempt to re-unite, and again failed. We believe there will yet be many such failures, and there ought to be failure after failure, till either a decidedly Liberal leader comes forward, or till the old ones adopt conduct worthy of their name. In some quarters, where we ought not to look for it, there is no little bitterness against Mr. MILNER GIBSON, Mr. BRIGHT, and the other independent Liberals, for their refusal to act a factious part, and for their obtaining liberal concessions from a Conservative Government. The latter, certainly, is wholly the fault of Whig Administrations, which left these measures for their successors. And one would suppose that the former, although veiled under the more plausible charge of " deserting their party," is an accusation which can do little harm. The truth is, there are in the House of Commons, as in most really popular bodies, THREE PARTIES. This fact the Whigs ignore. They always • boast as if the Radicals belonged to them,. The more in telligent section of that party no more belong to them than they do to the Tories. Their avowed rule is measures, not men ; and since the Whigs uniformly desert them when they bring their own most highly-prized measures forward, they can claim no right to their allegiance. A Dissenting quarterly of no humble preten sions, so far as bulk and rather heavy but solid knowledge are concerned, actually takes us, and, we believe, the great majority of Dissenters too, to task, for making hay under a Tory sun. It "protests against the political immorality of those Liberals who seem well pleased to carry liberal measures by squeezing them from the grasp of an illiberal Government." Such conduct, it is stated, will " school. men into contempt and loathing of their rulers," and those " who should have been guardians of pure political feeling," will do by it " the worst possible mischiefs." In deed ! in our simplicity we thought we were doing the greatest possible good, politically. Our wisdom (or our partisanship) may not equal that of the Reviewer in the British Quar terly, but we beg to protest too ; and our protest is against the very easy argument of branding as immorality what it would be, as we conceive, diffi cult enough to prove to be so. Does not the Editor well know that had Lord PALMERSTON', or his pet, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, been in power, we should have equally been compelled to use the squeezing process ? We should like to know what really liberal measures could be got from our so-called Liberal Governments, except by " squeezing them from their grasp ?" And, also, what earthly difference it makes, either in morality or expe diency, whether we squeeze them from one section of an unwilling aristrocracy or from the other ? In our view of the position of the honestly Liberal party—the party, we mean, which can trust the people with real power, for that is our definition of the Liberal party—it must fight for :PRE SUN, would take the earliest opportunity, after the re -assembling of Parliament, to ask the opinion of the Legislature upon a bill which he would intro duce, in the hope and belief that it would be accepted as a satisfactory solution of a long-con troverted subject." This is as it should be. It proves that the Government are not deaf to the voice of public opinion, and that there is a far better prospect of obtaining really liberal mea sures at their hands than there would have been had their predecessors remained in, or been re stored to office, and Lord PALMERSTON had esta blished a political dictatorship such as that at which he aimed. Another point, and one of no ordinary impor tance, was also adverted to. The Government acknowledge the propriety of holding autumnal Seosions of Parliament to pave the way for the despatch of business, before the heat of the wea ther, and ,the filthy Thames, combine to drive members of both Houses to their country seats and amusements. Lord STANLEY has already powerfully advocated this great improvement. He has shown how much better the business of the country could be transacted under more judicious arrangements than are at present in operation. We cannot hope that the beneficial change can be inaugurated during the present year. There are abundant reasons for not inter fering with plans already formed, or imposing additional labours on those who have, under so many disadvantages, so well performed their duty. But there is every reason t o hope that during next session a system will be introt. iuced which will at the same time be conducive to the yublic interest and in accordance with the wishes of those who undertake the labours of legislation. Should Lord DEEEY'S Cabinet be enabled to effect these matters, and to carry a large and compre hensive measure of Reform, the people will have reason to bless the moment that replaced those who called themselves Liberals, but were very ultra Tories at heart, by those who, Tories only in name, were desirous of introducing wise and wholesome enactments. There is nothing of greater importance, in a commercial point of view, than the improvement of our communications with large and rising colonies in other hemispheres. Any appearance of apathy or carelessness on such a point may be productive of the very worst results. Our colo nial fellow subjects are naturally irascible, and what we may deem impatient, at any appearance of negligence. They feel their own importance and naturally require that the service, for which they are willing to pay most liberally, should be efficiently and fairly performed. They will not tolerate jobs very prejudicial to their own interests. Of course there may be an occasional failure, from causes that could not be anticipated, but such accidents should be the exception, not the rule ; and when they are of almost daily occurrence, they may justly complain of the de fective arrangements under which such a state of affairs can possibly arise. A very slight amount of geographical know ledge, such as would be required by any candi date for a clerkship at Somerset-horse or in the Customs, would show that the route via the Isthmus of Panama possesses extraordi nary advantages over any other that can be devised. It will not at the present time be deemed sufficient to transmit our Australian mails, either by the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn ; and that by the Over land route has certainly not fulfilled the reasonable expectations that were indulged in ; with anything like proper management the time might be considerably abridged. The Panama Railway conveys, securely and speedily, large amounts of specie from Cali fornia to New York. It, might therefore, be entrusted with the conveyance of Aus tralian gold and Australian correspondence. There is no extraordinarydifficulty in the way, no impediment that may not easily be surmounted by ordinary care and attention. We trust, then, that no time will be lost in introducing a better system ; one that will be satisfactory to the inhabitants of Great Britain and beneficial to those of Australia. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1858. all concessions as much with one aristocratic ' 1 clique as with the other. The difference is, the Conservatives fight by open, manly opposition, the Whigs by evasion and trickery. We prefer the former as enemies. They do not make false pro fessions, at least ; and they yield when they are fairly beaten. We have some knowledge of Dissenters. We have always heartily joined them in battling for their liberties, from the Test and Corporation Acts contest, to the last fight in the Lords over Church-rates, and we are confident that they do not as a body denounce the conduct of indepen dent journals or independent members as " poli tically immoral," in the course they have taken with the DERBY Ministry. The weekly journals of the most ability amongst them—the Freeman, amongst the Baptists, and the Nonconformist amongst the Independents—have ably supported a perfectly independent course, and have thought it perfectly moral to get liberal measures from any Government which would give them. The oldest review amongst dissenters adopts the same course. Indeed, we must retort rather the charge of poli tical immorality on those who would persist in treating as Liberals, Ministers who would make a Cabinet measure of no liberal demand ; who year after year could shuffle off a Reform Bill, and who can persist in refusing a 10/. County Franchise, the Ballot, and the abolition of Church-rates. Why tea should care to keep such men in power, or to restore them to it, passes our comprehension. There must always be testing questions of the day ; we take those above-mentioned as fairly coming under that name ; and we beg to inform the men who deem themselves Opposition leaders, that while they are unprepared to make Cabinet measures of these three liberal demands, they may continue in opposition for all that we shall do to give them a vote. The Home and Foreign Administration of the Tories has pleased us better than theirs, and we await therefore their political enlightenment, before we shall think it politically moral to reinstate them. There will be no return of the Liberals to power till their leaders can agree upon a distinct policy satisfactory to the country. They may meet in committee-rooms, and grumble in a few prints, but they will not regain office until they can send down to the electoral constituency an issue worth voting on. The last election was, as far as Lord PALMERSTON could make it so, a confused affair. Liberal questions would turn up, but the Premier tried hard to keep to the cry, " PALMERSTON or DERBY." He cautiously ab , stained from mooting political questions, and gave the electors, in fact, only a Chinese puzzle. That so Liberal a Parliament, under the circumstances, was returned, is entirely due to the increased Liberalism or liberty of the electors. Still the result is a Parliament pledged to no great poli tical principles or measures. Of course, Lord DERBY, if there is to be a dissolution next spring, would not wish it to be on a Reform Bill. Yet, we verily believe that unless the Whigs will fol i low the majority of their party—the majority of 1 the Liberals we mean, and make the Ballot the I point by which they will stand or fall, they will have no chance, and they ought to have none. If they constructed a Reform Bill, it would differ from one carried by the Tories in a single point only—it would arrange the constituencies more favourably for the Whigs. If the Tories bring forward a bill, it will be as liberal as that of the Whigs, but it will arrange the constituencies so as to secure more Conservative members. This will be the easiest thing possible now concurrently with a large extension of the franchise ; and it is, we are strongly inclined to think, the very thing Mr. DISRAELI will do. He will extensively en franchise, but not, we fear, emancipate the counties. If he would do the latter, he would have a larger majority than PALMERSTON had last year. HAYMARKET THEATRE. MR. BUCKSTONE'S BENEFIT. The extraordinary season, which has extended over an uninterrupted period of five years, ter- minates this evening with the benefit of the spirited lessee Mr. Buckstone ; after which this favourite place of entertainment passes into the decorator's Lands, in order to undergo a complete renovation previous to the new campaign, which will commence in September. Many of the most accomplished artistes on the London stage have volunteered their services, and an even ing's entertainment of the most recherché kied may therefore fully be anticipated. The great feature in the "bill of fare" is the revival of the capital comedy "The Way to Keep }ditty," in which Miss Reynolds will sustain the part of Mrs. 14,Sve more, Mrs. Charles Young that of Widow Bellmore, and Mr. Buckstone that of Sir Bashful Constant. Previous to the comedy Miss Talbot will appear as Mrs. Trictrac in the farce of the "las.rried Rake," and at its termination Mr. Buckstone will address the audience in one of those witty and humorous speeches for which he is so justly celebrated. A number of other attractions will bring the enter tainments to a close, and we sincerely hope that an overflowing house will testify the high appreciation the public entertain of the great endeavours Mr. Buckstone has made to cultivate and keep alive a taste for genuine English comedy. We are requested to state that Mr. Benjamin Webster, proprietor and manager of the Theatre Royal, Adelphi, now in the course of reconstruc tion, is not connected, directly or indirectly, with any other theatre in the Strand. The Pries Lovofi has arrived at Wallace's Hotel, St. Gm)rge's-place, Hyde-park. The Marquis and Marchioness Bandini and family have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Paris. The Marquis de I'Aigle has arrived at Fenton's Hotel from the Continent. The Marquis Trot'd has returned to town from a tour in Scotland. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IN BELFAST.— A. Belfast paper states that its announcement of the in tended visit of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to Belfast has given great satisfaction to the public of all classes; and already a requisition has been numerously signed by the leading magistrates, bankers, and merchants of the town, inviting the distinguished gentleman to meet them at a public banquet. It is ex pected that Mr. Disraeli will arrive in Belfast about the middle or latter end of August, and, should he accept the invitation, the banquet will then take place. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY COMPANY. —The directors of this company have issued a circular, in which they state :—" The directors have the satisfac tion to announce, that sanction" has now been given to the bill, and also to the East Rent Extsesion Bill, in both houses of parliament ; and arrangements are made for the immediate commencement of the works of both undertakings. The agreements that have already been made with other companies secure a minimum return of about 4 per cent. to the shareholders in this company ; but the direct as have every reason to believe that nearly double that rate of interest may be relied on as the actual result of the arrangements." OBSTRUCTING A RAILWAY TICKET COLLECTOR.— Henry Clark, residing in Devonshire-terrace, Amer sham Park, New-cross, and holding a❑ appointment in the War-office, was fined yesterday 203., at the Green wich Polioe-ceurt, for obstructing Jobe Nash, a ticket collector in the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Company, in the execution of his duty. CAPTURE OF A "MERMAID."—In the nets of Mr. John Anderson, on the F firth, a mermaid, or angel-fish, nearly six feet bug, and 1001). weight, was cauebt this week. The wings of this " wonder of the deep," which has a face Lke that of a frog, and a tail like that of a shark, are eight inches long. Before being caught, the fisher men saw it rahe itself upright in the water, and then fly over the surface like a bird. While diving it was caught in a turbot-net. The belly is pure white; the back is light brown ; the skin being rough like that of a shark or dog-fish. The wines are not unlike the two wings of a thick skate ; and the teeth resemble those of a shark. The fish measures three feet across the wings. It will be shown to-day at Mr. Anderson's establishment, George-street.—Scotnnan. THE QUEEN'S INTENDED VISIT TO CHERBOURG. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PARIS, JULY 10, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that her Majesty Queen Victoria will proceed to Cherbourg on the 4th of August, on a visit to the Emperor. The Journal des Debats makes the following re marks on the announced visit of Queen Victoria to Cherbourg :—" The news of the approaching visit of the Queen of England to Cherbourg has circu lated for some days past in Paris ; it is now con firmed, and we need not say that in our opinion it is a most favourable piece of intelligence, since it will completely dissipate the mistrust created for some time past by the language of certain journals. This unreasonable mistrust had unhappily crossed our frontiers, and it was by no means rare to hear riev e n e i t n acid France lod this th ma ianttiatin statement that alliance, to u t as it. w understanding neighbours speak of a rupture with F rance a deplorable event, near at hand. More than one enlightened Englishman, from continu a lly observ ingane the insinuations thrown out by cert r ai-, j ournals that supports requiresim p a a l t l impatiently fi tly r ra r the ittlnglish alli ance ,ess of G overn - I: ad ended by be- Certainly, if the honour of the interests of France were seriously menaced, she would be as ready to defend them against England as against any other Power, while the recollection of the past terrible struggles of the two coun tries would doubtless inspire France with ex traordinary energy. But an immense difference exists between this very natural and legitimate sentiment and the insane desire of a rupture with out a cause, or this blind and unjust hatred which certain journals are often pleased to attribute to the French nation. Their language is an insult to the nation. We admit that there exist among us individuals who believe that their birth or aristocratic pretensions command them to feel the disasters of Cressy, Poitiers, and Agincourt more actively than the remainder of the nation, and to exhibit a great desire to avenge th em ; we a l so possess zealous Catholics who consider a war with Protestant England as the first of duties. But the nation, which must be consulted ou a point of such importance, does not in the least share these eccen tric opinions, and it would require better reasons in order to b 3 convinced that a rupture with England would be otherwise than a fault and a calamity." The Gazette de France has the following rePaec tions on the same subject : " Should this visit take place, it will excite a deep sensation in France and Europe, for the presence of Queen Victoria on our territory, after the dissensions produced by the conduct of our ally, would have an immense signification. It would be considered as the pledge of a new alliance, founded either on an oblivion of the past, or on a desertion by England of a policy hostile to the development of our commerce and political influence." The k..:iecle expresses its satisfaction at the an nounced visit of Queen Victoria to Cherbourg. " This interview between the Queen of England and the Emperor would be a fresh pledge of au alliance which has always possessed our sympa thies, and which, in cur opinion, advances the in tereAs of civilisation. We have constantly resisted the firebrand who raked up the events of the darker ages to discover motives of mutual recriminations. The idea of disliking the English because they are Anglicans and partisans of liberty can only have been hatched iu the brain of the readers of a certain journal whose influence, thank Heaven ! is sinking." LATEST NE WS. We have news from Constantinople to the 3d. It is stated that M. Thouvenel has insisted that the Porte shall give in its adhesion to the demand of the Powers which propose the revision of the act relating to the navigation of the Danube by the Conference of Paris. It is added, that, after the Conferences, road Pacha will go to London to demand the evacuation of the Isle of Perim by the English. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Emperor has just exercised his prerogative of mercy in causing the remainder of her punish ment to be remitted to Miss Daudet, whose case excited considerable interest in Paris about three years ago. Five years' imprisonment was the sentence of the Court, and there still remained two years, from which she is now released. The Salut Public of Lyons states that M. de Mercy, who since his military degradation has been in confinement at Perrache, is shortly to be removed to the prison at Tours. The Caen to Cherbourg Railway will be open for working some short time before the official inau guration takes place. A regular circulation on it will commence on the 15th inst.

THE GALWAY ROUTE TO CANADA AND TILE UNITED STATES. The great success which has attended the through booking system between England and Canada, in augurated by Sir Cusack Roney, has encouraged its , extension in the direction of Galway, from which port the British and Irish Steam Packet Company have determined to dispatch their fast steamer Lady Eglinton on the 3d of next month. The scale of fares is so moderate that, in addition to emigrants, many whom the new passport regulations p reven t from visiting the Continent will doubtless avail them selves of the opportunity afforded for an attrac tive and inexpensive foreign trip. First-class fare from Galway to Montreal is only 13 guineas, and return tickets are issued for 241. ; second-class, ten guineas, and return tickets, 201. ; third-class, six guineas. - As these rates include provisions, any thing more reasonable can scarcely be cm ceived. The Galway route gives the shortest sea passage between Europe and America, the distance to Quebec being 2,280 miles, of which upwards of 700 are in the smooth waters of the St. Lawrence. The distance from Liverpool to New York is 3,100 miles. The vessel has already made the voyage two or three times, making the quickest passages which, up to that time (1854), had been effectni between Europe and Quebec. As she will snake two voyages to Mon treal this season, parfes taking return tickets can either come back en the 26th of August or the sth of October. The Canadian News suggests that, in latter case, a most agreeable and economical trip can be made all through Canada, and as far west as Chicago, or even the Alississippi, by the through booking system of the Grand Trunk Railway. Re turning, the tourist can. visit Niagara Falls, the Canadian lakes, and the ra pids of the St. L awrence ; or the more active can make a detour to Cincinnati, Washington, Baltimore, New York, B os t on, an d Portland, whence there is daily communication by I railway with Quebec. At the above-quoted scale of fares, a tourist need spend little more than h a lf what it would cost him to travel the same distance in Europe.—Liverpool Albion. THE MAILS, &c.—SOUTEIAMPTON, July 9.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tyne, Capt. T. W. Sawyer, took her &part me to-day with the Brazilia❑ and River Plato Mails, 131 passeng±rP,ll,7s4l. in specie, jewellery value 29 1001., and a fu'l cargo. A remarkable illustra tion of the faellitio4 rlforded at this port for dry docking steamship of the first-class occurred an Monday list. At 12.30 p.m., the tide being first quarter flood, the Turkish e Paid Gebad, 2,500 tone, was floated and taken out of the large dry dock ; the screw steamer Thnares, 1,491 Onr, was then placed in the dock, acd the water pumped out, to enable dimensions to be taken for a new screw propeller; the dock refitted and the Benares taken out, and the screw steamer Tasmania, 2,500 tons, admitted and paced upon the Idoekci, the whole being accompished befre high water at 5.56 p.m. SUICIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.—Yesterday morn 'frig information was received by the coroner of a deter mined suicide in the Regent's Can ed, near the Ilarupsten,d road, by a female of ladylike appearance, who delibe- rately precipitated herself into the water. The action was observed by some women, who raised an alarm, but by the time assistance arrived she had sank, and when got out life was quite extinct. The body, which is clad in deep mourning, was taken to St. Pancras Workhouse to be owned, and for an inquest. THE EAST. A letter from Belgrade of the 30th ult. says " The telegraphic despatch so long expected from Constantinople, and promising complete satisfaction for the outrage on the EngliskConsul-General, ar rived here yesterday. The soldier who committed the outrage is to be tried at Constantinople, and to be publicly executed • the others are to be severely , punished. The inglish ambassador, Sir H. Bul wer, arrived this day in the steamer Hildegarde. On landing he was received by the Minister Garachapin, who saluted him i n th e na m e o f the Prince and Senate of Servia ; and military honours were paid him by a detatchment of Servian infantry and a battalion of Turkish regulars. His Excel lency proceeded to an hotel, where a guard of honour, composed of Servian and Turkish troops, was collected. He is to leave to-morrow in the steamer Diana for Orsova, and intends to stop there two days in order to visit the baths of Mehadia ; he is afterwards to go to Galatz, where he will find an English vessel of war to convey him to Constantinople." RUSSIA. A letter from S. Petersburg says :—" Some foreign journals have represented that the emanci pation of the peas %tits encounters passive opposition on the part of the nobles, and as a proof of it assert that only a small number of Governments have formed committees of emancipation. But these statements are erroneous, as is proved by the fact that in not, fewer than 3S Governments, in which there are 9,713,000 serfs, committees of emanci pation have been formed." The same letter says : —" It has been alleged that the assembling of troops which is to take place in Poland is destined to exercise a pressure o❑ the Cabinet of Vienna, in order to obtain a revision of the treaty which placd Cracow under the domination of Austria. That also is an invention which has not the slightest foun dation. The assembling of the troops in Poland is for no other object, as already stated, than to have them passed in review by the Emperor." ROME. A letter from Rome of the 30th ultimo, in the Debats, says The great lota of St. Peter and St. Paul was yesterday celebrated at Rome with the usual splendour. The pope proceeded early in the morning down the royal staircase in sedia gestatoria, preceded by the colleges, the cardi nals, archbishops, bishops, and magistrates. On his en tering St. Peter's the choir struck up Ta est Peteus. His Holiness then said mass, supported by Cardinal de Sil vestri as deacon, and by Prince de Latour d'Auvergne Lauraguate, as sub-deacon. An immense concourse filled the church. Another letter in the Lidependance of Brussels contains the following : In consequence of the disturbances which have lately taken place here b9twr:en the French and Roman sol diers, General de Goyon published an order of the day, bearing date the 25th of June, in which he informed the troops and inhabitants of the city that any attack on the soldiers of either army should be immediately punished most severely. He reminds every one that there is only one commander-in•chief of all the French and Italian troops at Rome ; that that commander was he ; and that as such the same honours were to be paid him as to the Pope and cardinals. It is unnecessary to say that this order of the day has produced here an im mense sensation. The Pope, on the anniversary of his coronation, increased by one•third the pay of the Swiss guard, and reduced from 40 to 30 years the term of service before they can be entitled to retire on full pay. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the sth contains another batch of royal decrees making nominations of governors of provinces, also one accepting the resig nation by General Pavia of the post of director general of artillery. It was said that the Arch bishop ofToledo had received orders to return to his diocese. The journals hostile to the Government were the Discusiom, a democratic organ, the Iberia and Novedades, progressist, and the Leon Espanol, Espana, and Parlament°, moderadoes. It was at M. leturitz's own desire that he was not sent as ambassador to London, he thinking it necessary to remain in Madrid to defend the acts of his govern ment. A letter from a semi-official source says : "Amongst the projects ascribed to the new govern ment is one which will obtain all suffrages. It is to send 10,000 troops to Mexico to demand peremp torily reparation for the outrages committed on Spanish subjects, and in case of refusal to com mence. hostilities. Au imposing squadron is to ac company the expedition." A Vieuna letter in the Independence of Brussels, says :—" The senator Baron Heekeren has left this place fir Paris ; and although it is still denied that his journey had any political character, I de clare that it had. I may add that Baron Heekeren had two long conferences with Count de Buol, to whom he offered the most friendly protestations on the part of Count Walewski, and he expressed in the name of the French Government the desire to remain in good harmony with the Austrian Cabinet. I learn that Count de Buol, on his part, manifested the most conciliatory sentiments." Accounts from. Vienna announce that the Archi mandrite Nicanor has been released .by the Aus trian authorities, and hadraturned to Monteceuro . A postal treaty between Greece and Russia is about to be concludel. THE SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' AND FISHERMEN'S ROYAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The weekly committee meeting of this society was held as usual at the society's offices, Hibernia-chambers, London-bridge. Present : Admiral Sir Henry Hope, K.C.B. (in the chair) ; Capt. Hon. Francis Maude, R.N. ; Win. Stuart, Esq. ; Sir Charles R. Rowley, Bart. ; Captains Lean and WPst brook, R.N. The committee awarded 6231. 15s. to 233 widows and mariners and 15 shipwrecked men, to help to replace their clothes This relief to widows and men is in addition to that afforded to shipwrecked persons on every part of the coast, by clothing and sending them to their homes. It was reported at the meeting that the heavy calls on the institution made an appeal to the public necevaary : we hope it will be. liberally responded to, as, by its efforts, the country is cleared of beggars, under the plea of being shipwrecked, and our seamen preserved from being pauperised, by being obliged to beg their way home when cast helpless on our coast. SHOCKING SUICIDE UPON A RAILWAY.—On Thursday evening a determined act of self-destruction was com mitted by a man named James M`Vicar, by throwing himself under a train passing along the South-Western Railway. It appears thot about 7 o'clock, as the 6.30 down train was passing along the'rnain line, near Dunce , . LEL Wandsworth, the deceased - was seen to throw him self across the rails, in front of the carriages, the whole of which passed over his legs and body, killing him in stantaneously. The body was found to be in a fright fully ventilated state, and was removed to the Half-say public-house in Garrott-Eno to await a coroner's inquest, The unfortunate deceased was a resident of Wands wot Lb, and had carried on the business of a fancy printer upon the French system. He f ig ured in the police co ur t a few weeks ago, where he gave a man named Thompson into custody for stealing some blocks used in his busi ness. A partnership was set up, bnt as it was proved that the deceased's money bought them, the man was discharged" upon his giving up possession of the pro perty. It was also stated t hat there was a lawsuit pend ing between him and a relative, which appeared to ope rate upon his mind, and he had latterly taken to drink ing, Yesterday be was seen in the town in a vary ner vous condition, and appeared to have some difficulty to articulate his words. The deceased was believed to be unmarried. DIXON V. GAYFERE. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said that he had read and considered the statements in this petition—that it was not necessary to repeat them —and that he had written to the Lord Chancellor on the subject ; that he could do nothing more than confirm the Lord Chancellor's order, with the additional one-fourth undivided moiety, and grant the prayer of the petition. His Honour granted the usual decree of pay. ment, or foreclosure and sale without costs. PHILLIPS V. BRYDEN. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said that this case was brought before him yesterday by Mr. Whitmore, and when he heard it he came to the conclusion that, according to the true meaning, and fair construction of this settlement, the powers given to Elizabeth Mary Bryden to dispose of this 650/. by appointment was absolute. That she had a right to appoint trustees,--her children, grand children, or others. And that the appointment in favour of her husband was a good and valid ap pointment. His Honour declared accordingly, and, at the request of the counsel, ordered the fund to be brought into court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) DYHAR V. RADFORD-SINGULAR ACCIDENT. This was an action for compensation in damages for injuries received to an eye, through the alleged negligence of the defendant's servants. The plain tiff claimed 5001. damages. Mr. Sergeant Peteralorff and Mr. Gibbons were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Huddleston, Q. C., and Mr. Lloyd were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is a sewerman, in the employ of the contractor, and the defendant is a butcher, carry ing on business at the corner of Sun-court, Shep herd's-market, May fair. On the 9th March last, about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, the plaintiff was passing along with the foreman, and when he came to the defendant's shop he was caught in the eye with a meat hook that hung on the iron bar of the blind. The plaintiff was held up as it were by the hook, and his companion had great difficulty in extricating him from the firm hold of the hook, having to lift him to get him off. The defendant came out with one of his assist ants, and the plaintiff's friend said to him—" This is a sad accident." Defendant replied, " I can't conceive how any of my people could have bean so foolish as to leave the hook in such a position." Plaintiff's friend asked what had better be done. Defendant said, " take him to a surgeon." Plain tiff's friend asked who was to pay the expenses, and. defendant replied, as it would only cost a few shillings, he would pay for it. Plaintiff was taken to a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who attended to the injury, and he was afterwards an out-patient at St. Mary's Hospital for some time. A portion of the eye-lid had to be cut away, and it was now so much contracted that it fell over the eye, and it oould not be raised or lowered without difficulty. The plaintiff said the sight of both eyes was weak ened in consequence of the accident. Dr. Walton, who operated on the lid of the eye, said there was a certain amount of deformity in the eye, but he was sanguine the sight would not be permanently in jured. The man was net out of his care, and he anticipated he would have to take away another strip of the lid to complete the treatment. Some months were required to test the full benefit of an operation. The plaintiff, who lost some time in attending the hospital, &c., was in the receipt of a guinea a-week, and he was still in the same employ. Mr. Huddleston, having addressed the jury for the defendant, urging that if the defendant had exercised care and caution in passing the defen dant's shop the accident would not have happened, and that 'he defendant was not answerable for the plaintiff's negligent. e The learned judge, summed up. It was for the jury to say if the defendant was guilty of negligence in leaving a meat-hook in the way, as described, or if the plaintiff by his conduct contributed to the accident by his own negligence. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 501. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE—(This Day; Ten boys were summoned for causing obstruc tions in Lombard-street. The officers stated that the defendants were marching in procession down the street, and as each one " cried" a different article, they, in addition to the interruption to the traffic, made a by no means harmonious concert. Fined 2s. 61 each. Mr. Thomas Beard attended for the defence of several omnibus drivers charged with furious driving, and obtained mitigation of the penalties. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY AT IVlAssres.—Enama Gingham, and Isaac Jacobs, the former a barmaid at Massie's, were charged under the following circumstances : John Villen, residing at V►ctor-lane, Leeds, said he was i❑ the Crown public•house, bept by a person named Massie, in Cranbourn-passage, when, being a little fresh, he 10-4 his watch. He went that morning, and saw the prisoner Jacobs there, who said if he gave him 7/. 103. he would get the watch for him. He gave the prisoner N. 10s., and shortly atter received the watch from the female prisoner. Sergeant Glass said he took the male prisoner into custody, and told him he was chaiged with stealing 7/. 103. He said he knew nothing of the watch or the money. He then took the female prisoner into custody. She said she knew nothing of it, only that she had the watch to mind. The male prisoner said he was asked to look after the watch, and had got into trouble. Th e female was a barmaid at Ma:nie's house. On searching Jacobs he found 8/. 103. Jacobs said he certainly was in Massie's house. Gingham said she did not know who she received it from. _ They were then remanded till Friday next. While Sergeant Glass was giving his evidence, and saying he searched the prisoner Jacobs, Massie, who was standing behind the dock, ot-erved, " You should not have served me so." Mr. Beadon heard the re mark, and ordered him to be turned out of court. Welsh, the gaoler, having requested him to leave, Massie paid, " Don't put your fingers on me or I'll mug you." He, however, thought better of it and left the court, but not till Mr. Beadon bad told him if he resisted be should commit him fur a month. THAMES. A FAMILY PARTY IN A-BETER SHOP—Mrs. Brandy, the wife of James Brandy, a beershop keeper in Bromley, appeared before Mr. Yardley, to answer an information which charged her husband with having his house ope❑ for the sale of ale and beer at one u'clock on Wednesday morning, contrary to the statute. Police sergeant, 6 K, said be went into the defen dant's house at one o'clock in the morning, and saw rix men and three women regaling themselves and making a good deal of noise. Some cf the party were drunk, and the landlord, Brandy, who, looked as if he had been drinking brandy, was the worst of all. Indeed all ti e party were more or less intoxicated. Brandy, to the poli,cema❑—How can you say sr_ ? Mr. Yardley—Wtll, Mrs: Brandy, what have you to say to this ? _ _ Mrs. Brandy--It was a family party, sir, and I t):d the policeman so. The police sergeant—No ; ynu did not. Mrs. Brandy—l'll take ,ny dying oath of it. My father waA there, and the others were my cousins. Hero MN. Brandy introduced a little old man, I],r father, a buxom widow, and five others, and said with the cxception cf her father they were all cousins. Mr. Yardley—Ho:7 many cousin s have you? Mrs. Brandy—l don't know how many, sir. Tre widowLl was there, sir.l am a c iusin, sir. The police sergeant—l did not ace you. Teo widow—Yes, you did, and asked mo if I had sold my mangle. Mr. Yardley—Do you keep a mangle ? The widow—No, sir. JasEph Pittman, the little old man, said Your worship, we were a ❑ice little ain;ing•party. My nephew came from sea and I invited him to come over to the Brown Horse and see Mrs. Brandy, his cousin, who is my daughter, and other cousins arrived and we kept it up most Mr. Yardley—So it appears the police-sergeant was quite right in putting this case in a chain for inquiry, but I see no earthly reason why a man who keeps a beer-shop should not have a family party. The sum mons is dismissed. NAVAL AiVD MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Major-Gen. Wesley, Deputy-Adjutant General of the Royal Marine Forces, made his annual offi cial inspection of the Light Infantry Division at Fodor', under the command of Colonel Command ant Hurdle, C. 8., yesterday. The troops were drawn up on parade about 10 o'clock, and the in spection commenced as usual with th e men ' s ap pearance and their kits. At this inspection the ser geants preferred a request to the Deputy-Adjutant.. General for the additional 2d. per diem enjoyed by the sergeants of the army. He replied that simul taneously with the appearance of the Horse Guards' circular last February he applied to the 'Admiralty for a favourable ear to the application. As soon, therefore, as the necessary arrangements have been made at the Treasury, the sergeants of the Royal Marine Light Infantry will receive the increase of pay so well deserved. After inspecting the barrack rooms, stores, offices, &c., the battalion was dis missed for dinner; after which they were marched to Haslar, to be inspected in field exercises, which will be repeated to-day, when the inspection will terminate. A most impudent fraud has just been detected in the manner of serving out the meat to the troops in Portsmouth Garrison. It appears that on the morning of the 6th inst., the Inspector of Weights and Measures under the corporation (Mr. Moncrief) went to Cambridge Barracks to inspect the scales and weights at the meat store, and found on exami nationthat the beam of the scale had been tampered with by being put into a fire and lengthened, causing a difference of 6oz. in the balance of the scales, by which it appeared that if the scales had not been balanced previously te e the men receiving their meat he would have furnished to each mess 6 cz. less than their proper quantity. By experi ments made subsequently it has been satisfactorily ascertained that notwithstanding the scales bad been balanced a fraud had been perpetrated on the regiment (the 47th), to the extent of 6 oz. in every 141 b., making daily about 331 b. Mr. Moncrief summoned the contractor, Mr. Cheeseman, before the Portsmouth magistrates on Wednesday, when the evidence fully convicted him of the fraud on the troops; he was severely lectured for so infa mously robbing the men who fought for their bread, by Major Travers, the senior magistrate, and fined in the full penalty of 5/. The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander J. E. Petley, returned to Portsmouth before daylight yesterday with Prince Alfred from Queenstown, where his Irish tour terminated with a visit to the naval establishment at Haulbowline, over which ho was conducted by Dr. R. T. C. Scott, Surgeon of the Royal Hospital in that island. The Prince proceeded to Osborne in the course of the day. The 47th Fjot, comprising 4 field officers, 11 captains, 18 subalterns, 6 staff, and 864 men, leave Portsmouth Garrison this morning at nine o'clock for Aldershot, and the 15 t h Foot, comprising 26 cfficers and 700 men, leave Aldershot at the same hour for Portsmouth. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Argo, Commander A. B. Benson, arrived in the Thames from Calcutta on Thursday evening with invalid troops from India who were lauded at Gravesend the same eying andforwarded directly to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham. The Dragon, 6, paddlewheel steamer, having been fitted at Chatham reserve, was towed from that port to Sheerness yesterday by the Adder and African seamers ; she is expected to heist the pen nant immediately. The Scorpion, 6, at Chatham, is ordered to be removed to the Thames to be appropriated as a floating station for the police. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH, QUEENSTOWN, JULY 5. On the 10th June the Atlantic telegraph squad ron, consisting of the Niagara and Gorgon, and Agamemnon and Valorous, left Plymouth. On the 13th June, in consequence of the thickness of the weather, combined with a strong wind, the four • ships parted company. After encountering a suc cession of gales they reached the appointed rendez-... vous (lat. 52.2 N., long. 33.10 W.) in the follow.. ing order :—Valorous on the 20th, Gorgon in the forenoon of the 23d, Niagara in the afternoon of the 23d, and Agamemnon in the afternoon of the 25th. Duriag the gales the last-named ship re ceiv, d some slight damage, and the main cable coil on board her shifted her position. On the 26th, under the most favourable circumstances so far as weather was concerned, the cable was spliced, but before five miles had been accomplished it parted on board the Niagara ; another splice was immediately effected, and at 5.30 p.m. the Niagara, led by the Gorgon, started for Newfoundland, and the Aga memnon, led by the Valorous, for Ireland. All went smoothly till 5 a.m. of the 27th, when the Niagara, ceasing to receive the proper signals from the Agamemnon, cat the cable, and, in company with the Gorgon, returned to the rendezvous. On meet ing the Agamemnon it was found the cable had also been cut on board of her in consequence of the non arrival of the necessary telegram from the Niagara. On the 18th, at 7.50 p.m., the cable having been once more joined, the vessels separated with every prospect of success, and the cable continued to pay out without any unusual strain. Doubts were fast disappearing from the minds of the few incredulous ' ones, when, alas !at 9 p.m. of the 29th J une the Niagara ceased to receive communications from the Agamemnon, and the electricians, by seine method known to themselves, discovered that the cable had parted either on board or close to the Agamemnon. How far this may be correct we must wait for the arrival of the Agamemnon to de We. At this time 234 miles of cable had been laid down in an average depth of I,7oofathoms, or nearly two miles. It may set ve to give some idea of the strangth of the cable when it is known that the Niagara remained an chored by it for some hours, and that it ultimately broke at a strain of seven tons. The Gorgon and Niagara returned at once to this p . ort, for orders, and have just arrived. The non-arrival of the Aga memnon and Valorous can be accounted for in this way : When the vessels parted company on the 28th the arrangement was, in the event of the cable pasting before a specified quantity h a d b een laid down, that the ships were to return to therendezvous, and the first arrival to wait a certain number of days for the other ships. On the other hand, if the cable parted after the quantity specified was laid down, the ships wer e all to retain to Cork for orders. Now the assumption that 284 miles had been Laid down was based upon the fact of the Niagara hav ing accomplished 142 miles, and the suppos'ition that the Agamemnon had succeeded with a lik e quantity. It is, however, pretty evident that the Agamemnon had not completed the specified quan tity before referred to when the cable parted, wad that she and the Valorous have returned to the rendezvous, where they will, of course, wait the number of days agreed upon for the Gorgon an Niagara (four days, I think) ; we need not, there fore, look for the Agamemnon or Valorous beft ire the 9th or 10th inst. The result of three attempts to lay down the Atlantic telegraph cable during the month of jtane, 1858, may be thus summed up : First attempt failed consequent upon an acci dent in paying out. Second attempt failed consequent upoa con tinuity ceasing. The third, and last, cannot be properly accot tnted for until the arrival of the Agamemnon, and it would be unfair to the Atlantic Telegraph Con tpany to express an opinion that would be founded, liter ally upon nothing, STATE OF TRADE. (Prom the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Saturday. —There has been a fair :attend ance of buyer s in the cloth halls this morning, and the market has been of a better character. The transactions have been more ie numeroussupplyof wtohoalnwoans Tuesday, and a firmer tone prevailed in b o th h a ll s.

Higher rates were demanded by dealers, and in some partial instances extra fine p a rcels made a t r ifli ng advance, but wellth eg-l oged g eneral demand was much quieter, and :ewer buyers in attendance caused a slo wer sale through eie, and the iLfetior parcels were bough iather cheAper towards the cicse of the market. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday. —The market to-day was quite up to the average. The transactions in the export trade were brisker and more general, and in fancies of a bit , er order tnere was a fair busim:S3 done. The mills are resuming full time in trot quarters, and there is an elasticity in the trade which has only been observed within the last two or three weeks.
