The Select Committee appointed to inquire into matters relating to the Thames have published their report, which will be found in another part of this day's impression. They have examined many witnesses of great skill and experience in their professions as engineers and chemists, but have been linable to find time sufficient to examine others, who had suggestions to offer, and informa tion to give, which might be found worthy of at tentive consideration. They felt that it was an imperative duty to state the views they had taken and the conclusion they had arrived at on the evidence already before them. There can be no doubt that in so doing they exercised a wise discretion, more especially as they completely dis posed of Mr. GOLDSWORTHY GLZNEY'S plan, to which their attention was particularly directed by the terms of the resolution under which they were appointed. We are happy to say that plan has been unequi vocally condemned. Indeed, it would have per petuated the evils against which so many just complaints have been preferred. It is sufficient to say that he proposed "to discharge all the sew age of the metropolis into the waters of the Thames within the metropolis itself." Thus making " the silent highway" still " the cliaca maxima," into which all the filth and sewage matter of two millions and a-half of people should be discharged. There was to be no attempt at deodorisation—nothing to preserve any portion of the valuable manure, and thus give increased fertility to the soil in the vicinity of London, which, properly applied, would double the pro duce of the land. These facts alone would be quite sufficient to prevent its adoption. But it is also based on sundry theoretical assumptions, which might all turn out incorrect after a heavy outlay had been incurred ; and the Committee were of opinion that " the parts of the plan which relate to the river were not calculated to effect the"purification of the Thames." They also thought that " the furnace system"—that i 5) the burning of the gases which would be retained in the sewers--although "possibly very efficacious for a apartioular and a limited area, °mild not be relied upon for the general ventilation and purification of the sewers of the metropolis at large." Mr. , GURNEY'S plan is thus at once and for ever defi nitively abandoned. . NO of ,the most interesting portions of the rePO is that which relates to the deodorisation of thosewage, respecting which they have taken much "reliable evidence. The Committee report that— It appears to be easy to separate the more solid from the liquid part; of the sewage, and to de prive both of all offensive smell. By an infusion of lime into sewage the solid matter is rapidly precipitated, and the water that is left above the precipitate is cleared of all the matter which it held in suspension, retaining only some salts, which it holds in solution. If the sewage of London could be so treated, and the solid pre cipitate could be got rid of in a satisfactory man ner,- the liquid might be discharged into the Thames without injury or inconvenience, provided that no nuisance arose during the process of deodorisation." This is not mere theory. The question has been. practically tested, and with the best results. We are told that " the system is now adopted at Leicester, and, in as far as it is a sanitary w ith complete success. Th e t own arrang ement, is freed from all offensive matter, and tlie liquid which is discharged into the river does not pol lute the water of the streams." If it has so goin pletely succeeded in one place, there is no reason israppose that it would not prove equally 4 4scious in a larger area, and with in e fealed means. The Committee, however, felt Ykat: the decision on that point should be left in the hands of the Metropolitan Board — who p cmile ss ample means for making all the necessary inquiries. Many opinions of eminent engineers have been given in favour of embanking the Thames, and it certainly seems to be indispensable to the proper TritE 5 1711 , :LONDON, WEDNESDAY P. V ENTNA_____JULY 21.1 solution of the important problem. We have always insisted on the expediency of such an em bankment, which would render the river an orna ment of the metropolis, instead of being its foul stain and disgrace. Along with that there should be 1 metallic pipes, such as we long since suggested, con veying the entire sewage matter to a considerable distance, where it might be conveniently deodorised and converted into valuable manure. It must be borne in mind that millions are sent annually out of the country for guano, while we are not merely wasting very valuable substance, but converting what might be made a blessing and a source of national prosperity into a foul nuisance, occasion ing disease and death to those whom it woull, under a better system, provide with food. "In conclusion, the Committee state their de cided opinion that no plan ought to be adopted in regard to the sewage of the metropolis that does not provide for one of two things—either that the sewage shall be carried down to some point in the river sufficiently La from the metropolis to prevent the sewage from being brought back in an offensive state by the flowing tide, or else that the sewage shall be deodo rised, and that only the purified liquid part of it shall be discharged into the river." Adding, "The whole subject is one of great and of growing public importance. The metropolis is extending in all directions, and in every part of its circumference. Every year fresh masses of buildings are springing up, whose drains are dis charging into the Thames, and streets that had only cesspools are furnished with house drains, leading into the general network of sewers ; thus every year the quantity of sewage discharged into the Thames goes on increasing." We trust that these sound and wholesome views may be acted on by the Metropolitan Board, and that effectual means will be taken to prevent from pollution the Thames, " which ought to be th• ornament of this great city, and which must con tinue to be the main highway of its multifarious traffic." The views ennunciated by Sir E. B. LYTTON in his admirable speech respecting the Hudson's Bay Company, seemed to meet the general concur rence of the House. He addressed himself to the subject in a fair and straightforward manner, lay ing down the principles on which he was prepared to legislate so as to satisfy Mr. ROEBUCK, who cer tainly made out a strong case in support of the course which he advocated, and one which more than justified him in bringing forward the mo tion. As yet, it was said to be impossible for the Government to decide on a definite plan. They are still in the position of negotiators. They have to consult the Canadians, and to satisfy the voice of public opinion in that important colony. They must also consider the rights of the Com pany, whatever they may be, and these objects being accomplished, make the best possible ar rangement for the promotion of civilisation, and the establishment of a sound system of colonisa- ion. The Culonial Secretary declares his unqualified opinion that " the licence ought not to be renewed, except where civilisation has no requirements, and law no other machinery but that of the Company." This is as it should be. What could be con verted to the use of mankind should not be made a wilderness in order that savage animals may be propagated, whose furs would be a source of emolument to a trading corporation. The question as to the validity of the Chatter will be submitted to the law officers of the Crown. It will be ascertained whether the " merry " habit of the so-called " merry Monarch" of bestowing that to which he had no right can confer a valid title on the recipients, and limit the trade of a distract containing millions of square miles. We cannot believe that Charter to be worth the paper or parchment on which it was engrossed. But it is right that the subject should be fairly and properly considered by com petent authorities. Sir E. B. LYTTON also grants the expediency of strengthening our empire in North America, by substituting in one connected frontier line the Colonies of Great Britain for the hunt ing grounds of a trading company. This is all that could be desired, and if the promised measure should fulfil these conditions, we have no doubt that it will receive the support which will be justly merited, and that no factious opposition will be offered to injure, for party purposes, a bill in which the interests of humanity must be greatly concerned. The opinion of Mr. WYLD, the eminent geo grapher, on the propriety of making a grand highway through those extensive regions, is well worthy of attention. It was by their roads that the Romans secured and civilised their conquests. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Down ing-street. The Ministers present were—The Earl of Derby, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, the Earl of Malmesbury, Sir E. Bul wer Lytton, General Peel, Sir John Pakington, Lord Stanley, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord John Manners. LAIEST NEWS. FRANCE PARIS, TUESDAY. 'At the sitt ihg of the Paris Conference of the 15th, says a Paris letter in the independence of Brussels, "Count de I_Zi73seleff read an able paper on the re• orgaLisation t://' the Daliubi,.,u Pa ON 111CeS, the ideas of the Russian plenipotentiary being based on a practical know!. edge of the Principalities." The Inspector -General of Hydraulic Works, M. Reibell, has beer n summoned to attend the Empe ror at Plombierei 1, and explain to him the mode by which the dock z. it Cherbourg is to be filled with water. Ho will proceed to Cherbourg in a few days to superintend the final preparations. On the occasion of the Emperor's visit an extensive promotion in the Crder of the Legion of Honour is expected to take place. A great batch of Senators is also spoken of, among whom will probably be found the name of Baron Gros, the French Pleni potentiary in Chin a. The last operatio us for completing the great work at Cherbourg - , which: has been so long in course of execution—the new . dock Napoleon lll.—were brought to a termini then the day before yesterday, the whole of the bot,:om being carefully swept, and the dust and rubbish removed. The last hamper hoisted up was decked: out with the national colours. A flagstaff is now planted in the centre of the clock as a siga that this gigantic worlds definitely brought to a close. An old inhabitant of Cherbourg, who was cap ' tain of the vessel in which the Emperor Napoleon I. made his first cruise, when sub-lieutenant of ar- tillery, has preserved the log-book, which be intends to present to his Majesty at his approaching visit. The name of this officer is Langeon, formerly sub inspector of the works in tho port. A medal is now being struck at the Mint, in com memoration of the interview which is to take place at Cherbourg between the Emperor Napoleon 111. and Queen Victoria. _ . .

ROME, July 13.—A feat a la Benvenuto Cellini, not to say a /a Jack Sheppard, has just been per formed by a French jeweller and watchmaker, likewise the proprietor of a large mosaic manufac tory, long established in Rome, who was arrested by the French authorities on the evening of the festival of St. Peter, charged with having created a disturbance at the Porta del Popolo, insisting on driving in at that gate just before the girandola, and abusing and threatening the French soldiers. On account of the quarrelling and conflicts which just then prevailed between French and Rom ins, the French general's orders were extremely strin gent for the punishment of any such offenderA, whether military or civilians, and the jeweller was consequently taken off to the Castle of St. Angelo to be tried by court-martial, a trial which it was generally inferred could not end without a con demnation to prison for a longer or shorter period. Meanwhile the prisoner's wife made every exertion in his behalf, and was upon the point of succeed ing, it is said, in softening the severity of the general-in-chief, when the prisoner himself, dis gusted with the monotony of Hadrians Mole, or apprehensive of the result of the court-martial, cr fearful that political accusations of aneerior date might be reproduced against him to aggravate the case, thought proper to abscond from th e safe custody of the French, by raising a part of the floor of his room, dropping into a corridor below, and passing down the winding stairs and out at the castle gate without being challenged by any of the sentries, from which fact it is inferred that he was provided with a military uniform to disarm any suspicion at his appearance. The French general is extremely angry at his escape. He has had all the sentries placed in arrest, and gendarmes have been busily occupied since yesterday morning, when the event took place, in searching for the fugitive, whose own premises have been minutely but fruitlessly ran ' sacked. PROPOSED DRAMATIC COLLEGE. MEETING THIS DAY. A large public meeting of the theatrical profes sion was held this day at the Royal Princess's Theatre, for the purpose of taking measures to fond a Dseer. a' le f erol Deeeyad Actors. The front of the theatre was densely filled. Amongst those present on the stage we observed T. P. Cooke, Esq.,`J. P.iHarley, Etq., D. Mea dows, Esq., W. Lacy, Esq., N. Lee, Esq., W. Bennett, Esq., B. Webster, Esq., F. Matthews, C. Dickens, Esq., T. Creswick, Esq., J. Cooper, Esq., Sheppard, Esq., C. Farley, EA . ., J. JerwooJ, E-q., C. Stanfield, Esq., W. Culleuford, J. W. Auson, and many other celebrities. Mr. CHARLES KERN, in taking the chair, said, the object of the meeting was to awake public opinion in favour of the theatrical profession, who had often contributed to the amusement of others, to afford a shelter to aged and decayed actors—a refuere before the sun set upon the dial of life. A benevolent gentleman, Mr. Henry Dodd—(loud cheers)—a gentleman of large landed property in Berkshire,had offered five acres of land for the erec tion of such a noble institution, and further to aid which he had generously accompanied the offer with a donation of 100 guineas towards the erection of the houses. He thought it was the duty of the profes sion generally to strain every effort to carry out such an undertaking. (Loud cheers.) Such a noble gift on the part of Mr. Dodd showed that fortune iu this instance had been conferred on one who knew well how to diffuse its blessings. He would not further detain the meeting, but called upon the bon. Secretary to read the report of the provisional committee, of which the following is an i abstract : "The Dramatic College you are this day called upon to establish, and which the provisional com mittee feel assured will soon take its place amongst the permanent charitable institutions for which England is remarkable, will owe its formation chiefly to a gentleman who has placed at your dis posal five acres of land, beautifully situated, with no other condition than that you shall this day give evidence of your desire to provide homes fel"' those actors and actresses who are no longer able to pro vide for themselves, and whose aching limbs and wearied minds have earned the reward now pro posed for them. The name of that gentleman is withheld, in conformity with his own request ; but the committee are assured by his solicitor, Mr. Macphail, that he only waits your appointment of trustees to make an unconditional conveyance of the land. There needed no discussion to prove to the corn mittee the necessity for such an institution as that contemplated. The only wonder was that its establishment had been so long deferred ; there fore the gentlemen present resolved on forming themselves into a provisional committee, with power to add to their number; elected Mr. Ben jamin Webster as their chairman, Mr. Robt. Keeley as their deputy-chairman, Mr. John B. Buckstone as their treasurer, Mr. G. A. Macphail as their honorary solicitor, Mr. Win. Cullenford as their honorary secretary, and entered into a subscription to provide for advertisements, and such other dis bursements as were immediately necessary. Mr. Cullenford communicated the particulars of his ap plications to other gentlemen not then present ; and the committee had much pleasure in hearin s g that Mr. C. Kean, though reluctant to take the chair at a pub lic meeting, had expressed his warm interest in the design, and had promised his liberal support. They had also the pleasure of learning that Mr. Charles Dickens had warmly responded to the application made to him, and had unreservedly placed his ser vices at the command of any committee which should be formed for the purpose in view. To a subsequent and more pressing application to Mr. Charles Kean, you owe his presence in the chair this day ; and to his kind offer the committee is indebted for the use of his theatre for the purposes of this meeting. To occupy time in attempts to prove the necessity for such an institution as tl at now proposed, the committee consider quite un necessary ; they, therefore, content themselves by the expressie n of a hope that there will be a liberal response to the claim now made, and that those whbse energies are devoted to the service of the public, will have something to look to as a means of spending their days in comfortable retirement, when no longer able to labour. The immediate object is to procure sufficient funds to erect twenty dwellings; ten for actors, and ten for actresses: The next purpose will be to provide annuities for the occupants. At a subsequent period it may be hoped to add an educational design for the children of members of the dramatic profession ; but at present the committee desire to give their whole attention to the single purpose of providing dwel lings, not doubting that everything else which may be required wiil be provided for.. They now re• commend that the acceptance by the committee of the five acres of land ft om the grantor be confirmed by this meeting, and that the title of the institu tion be The Dcawatic College.' The com mittee have reason to believe that the first two dwellings will be erected by the Co vent Garden and Drury Lane Theatrical Funds. Amongst the future rules it was stated that the council shall determine upon the plan of the hall, and description of tene ments. That the number of peasioners for the benefits of the said college Shall not, in the first instance, exceed twenty persons, namely, ten males and ten females. That it be a quelificatien in all candidates, for the benefits of the college, that they shall have been on the stage for at least twenty years, and that candidates, being males, shall have attained the age of fifty-five years ; and females fifty, excepting in such extraordinary cries where the candidates have sustained some permanent bodily injury or infiriniey in the exercise of their profession ; such cases to be decided on by the council, and to be exceptional. That the right to elect shall be vested in the sub scribers, except that the directors of the Covent Garden and Drury Lane Theatrical Funds, and pensioner, for the T o h ne at a donatio n o f t en th e i r successors, sha,'l have the right in perpetuity guineas s h a ll constitute a life governor, who s h a ll benefitsef a lter n o a f t e thely presenting be entitled to one vote at each election. That every annual subscriber of one guinea shall also be en titled to one vote. That, ultimately, 251. per an num, with fire and light, be the allowance of the pensioners, payable monthly. That as the funds increase, it shall be in the discretion of the council to ham ase the pecuniaryallowance to pensioners, or add to the number of pensioners and tenements. That if at any time the funds are increased beyond the amount required for the maintenance and sup port of the said college and pensioners, it shall be lawful for the council to apply such increase to wards the maintenance and education of children of actors ; and that a proportion of the ground and appertaining to the colleg e ma y b e appro priatedof erecting a school-house ; premises forth e purpose and the scheme or plan upon which the said school shall be founded, end also tie , nafriire of tire in s.rucoon to be iinpaned, shall be iu the discretion of the council." Mr. KEAN asked the meeting whether it was their pleasure the report just read should be received. Those who were in favour to say "yes ;" on the contrary, no.r t— A loud cry of "yes" arose from all par ts of the house, accompanied with tremendous applause. Mr. KEAN then said, having adopted the report, it became his duty to address to them a few obser vations as to the objects they had in view—an object of the most serious imp ort to the whole of the theatrical profession. It was to found an insti tution where the actor, who had p assed the summer of his days on the stage, m i g ht pass the barren winter of his life in rest and r e p ose. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was strange that no such in stitution had ever been erec ted before. Every other profession had its retreat for the aged ; but for the white-haired ac tor there was no home to which he could direct his tottering steps. Thanks to the benevolent heart of a noble-minded gentleman, such a want was about to be supplied. He felt there was no need for him to ur g e on all present to give their aid to se noble a work, and provide for the aged actor a haven of repose. To actors much was due. Who was it that founded Dulwich College ? Why, Edward Allyn, the actor. W as not that great and illustrious men—whose name was the pride of Ea:gland and t he env y of the foreigner —au e a or (Loud cheers.) lied it not been for the stews would the world have heard of Shakspeare ? (Inunewe The stag., properly conducted, did inestimable good, and it was t o soo the the last days of the poor worn out a c t or h e uoty pleaded, and pleaded, Ise felt assured, to a good, a generous, and grateful public. (Immense cheers.) i CHARLES DICKENS, Esq. proposed the first reso lution as follows ;—" That the report of the pro : visional committee be adopted, and thet this meeting joyfully accepte and gratefully acknow ledges the gift of five acres of land referred to in the said report." Mr. ORES ICK seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. T. P. COOKE, Esq., proposed that Charles Keen, Eig., Benjamin Webster, Esq., Charles Dickens, Esq., and Vr. M. Thackeray, Esq., be elected trus tees of the said college. The resolution was seconded by J. P. HARLEY, Esq., and carried amidst cheers. BENJAMIN WEBSTER, Esq., proposed—That a subscription be entered into for the purposes of carrying out the gift of the donor, and the ititantirms of the L,)o, and fQrsvarding the benevolent object for which we are assembled. RICHARD BELL, Esq., seem - if:led. the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A noble list of subscriptions was then read by Mr. CULLENFORD, Sir W. DE BATHE proposed that the thanks of the meeting be given to Charles Kean, Esq., for his impartial and efficient services as chairman, and for his kindness in offering the use of his theatre fur the purpose. The resolution wag seconded by JOHN BRADY, Esq., M.P., and carried in the most enthusiastic manner. Mr. CHAS. KEAN having returned thanks, The meeting broke up. POLICE INTIT•T.7GENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. THREATENING TO STAR.—Richard Alexander Lewis, a respectable looking young mats, was charged by Ser geant Gummer, 9 C, with threatening to stab, with a carving knife, Thomas Morgan, a waiter at the Glouces ter Hotel, Piccadilly. Thomas Morgan, waiter at the Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly, said the prisoner, who was a cook at the hotel, came home in a cab, and wanted him to pay the fare, which he refused, and told him to go down stairs. The prisoner then told him if he did not he would kick him. On ranching the pantry the prisoner went to a drawer, pulled out a carving knife, and he felt certain that if a fellow servant had not wrested it away he would have inflicted serious injury on him. He fetched two officers and gave him into custody. Sergeant Gummer sa'd, when he went down to the kitchen to take prisoner into custody he made a rush to the table again for the carving knife, but the servant girl fortunately seized it before be could obtain it. The prisoner was not sober. The prosecutor said he went in fear of the prisoner. Mr. Bandon said he should order him to enter into his own recognisance, in the sum of 101. to keep the peace for three months. MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. There will be a grand "field day", at Aldershot, this day, at which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the General Commanding-in-Chief, and a brilliant military staff will be present. Their ' Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelit z, and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Knesebeck, leave town to-day at an early hour in order to witness the review of the troops. The Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of the Admiralty, held a levee yesterday afternoon at the Admiralty, at which the under mentioned officers were present :—Captains Henry Hovey, Sir Wm. Hoste, John Ilay,,G. F. Napier, Frederick Patten, Richard Douglas, and T. V. Anson ; Commanders W. H. Webb, C. R. Carter, Wm. Walker (a), 0. Win. Dalyell, A. T. Mann,' Wm. Greet, E. Hardinge, H. Blair, W. Corneck, and Augustus C. Strode ; Lieutenants W. D. But ler, A. C. Murray, Thos. Eyton, and J. Cowley ; Dr. Armstrong, Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals and Fleets ; and Mr. James Bu]lay Tucker, master. The East India Company's troopship Southamp ton, Capt. Tomkins, arrived in the Thames on Monday afternoon, from India, having on board nearly 200 sick and wounded troops, who received their' wounds in the assault and capture of Delhi. The invalids embarked at Kurrachee on the sth April, and sailed the following day. They com prised 2 non-commissioned officers and 39 men of the 52d Light Infantry ; 13 sergeants, 7 corporals, and 62 men of the 60th Royal Rifles, Ist Batta lion ; and 4 sergeants, 5 corporals, and 64 men of the 75th Regiment, with 40 women and children— the whole under the command of Capt. Osborne and Lieut. Lowe, 81st Regiment, and in medical charge of Assistant Surgeon D. S. Smith, 6th Cara bineers. The Southampton touched at St. Helena on the 4th June, where Capt. E. C. Barnes, of the St. Helena Regiment, and family, took passage to England. During the voyage eight deaths occurred ou board—viz., three men of the 52d Light Infan try, two of the 60th Rifles, one seaman, and two children. The whole of the troops took part in the capture of Delhi, where most of them were severely wounded, a large number having lost either au arm or a leg, besides receiving other injuries. On their disembarking at Gravesend, on Monday after noon, they were conveyed to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, where they were inspected by the medi cal staff of the establishment, when it was found necessary for 107 men to be taken into hospital for further surgical 'treatment, and the remainder were sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's Bar racks, Brompton, to await their discharge. Among those who are most severely wounded is Private Daniels, 75th Regiment, who was one of the party who captured the first battery at Delhi, during which he had his left foot cut in two by a cannot shat, which necessitated its being amputated. Sergeant Walm=ley, of the 60th Rifles, who greatly distinguished himself, received a shot through the hip-bone, and Private Ryan, 75th Regiment, also lost his leg by a cannon shot. A number of the invalids belonging to the 52d Light Infantry are suffering from ophthalmia, and several have lost their sight. On the Southampton leaving Kurrachee the Owen Glendower, Seringa patam, and Waterloo were embarking sick and wounded troops for England, and those vessels may shortly be expected at Gravesend. The Royal Albert, 121, screw three-decker, Captain the Hon. Francis Egerton, flag of Vice- Admiral of the White Lord Lyons, G.C.8., &c., has sent Ler fore and main yards ashore, they being defective. She will be immediately supplied with a new foreyard, and the mainyard will be repaired. She has had a steam gunboat appointed as a tender to her, for the convenience of the officers and the despatch of business — the Partridge, which has been manned from the Hannibal for the special duty.

Although only a limited supply of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at Nionday's decline in the quotationi. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, which met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Barley was in fair request, at previous rates. Malt, however, met a dull inquiry. Wo had a steady, though not to say active, demand for oats, at full quotations. Beans and peas were very firm, but not dearer. In flour very little was doing, on former terms. ARRIVALS TIM WEEK.

Oa Friday Mr. Dill curl purposes calling the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the prevalence of aggravated assaults upon women and children, and to urge upon his consideration the necessity of making some alteration in the law relating to such DENMARK. A letter from Frankfort of the 18th says : "The Diet has not yet fixed any day for receiving, the report of the committee on the new Danish re ply. It has preferred, in consequence of the gravity of the affair, to allow every latitude to the com mittee, which has again chosen as its reporter Baron de Schrenk, the repvseutative of Bavaria. What ever may be the reception reserved for the proposi tions on which the Diet will have to decide, it cannot be denied that the Danish Government, by its last official step, has considerably widened the road to a compromise." The same letter says :—" The German manufacturers who have visited this city for the summer fair are much satisfied with the im provement which has taken place in business. A number of buyers, from Poland and the Danubian provinces, who did not attend the preceding fairs, have now come and purchased large quantities of goods. It is hoped that a still greater improveuaent will manifest itself at the autumn fair." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 16:h do not contain any news of political importance. A royal decree appoints M. 13110 a to be director general of the colonies. The King had been so much indisposed as to be obliged to keep his bed. Of the new senators 17 were of the Progra?sist party, so that the total number of that party in the Senate is at present 34. Some sensation had been caused by the discovery iu the province of Trugillo of 24 pieces of cannon and 32 grenades ; but it turned out that they had been buried by a Spanish general in the course of the war against Napoleon. The state of siege in Catalonia was about to be raised. The Discusion had been seized. Lord Normanby had a private audience of the Grand Duke and Duchess of Tuscany, on the 16th, for the purpose of presenting his letters of recall.§ A letter from the Hague of the 17th says : " The King and Queen yesterday gave a private audience at the Palace of Noordeinde to Gen. Man souroff, the Russian Minister, who presented to their Majesties Gen. Tottleben." The Nord of Brussels says :—"The coincidence of the journey now being male by the Prince de Joinville and his two nephews, the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres, in Germany, with the excursion of the Count de Chambord in the same country, has led to a report of a closer intercourse being in contemplation between the Princes of Orleans and the head of the House of Bourbon." —Nothing seems as yet to have taken place to warrant this rumour. Souniemerosr, Tuesday.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent embarked from the docks at 1.30 p.m. on board the Royal yacht Fairy, Captain Crispin, on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-JOHNSON V. HESSEN-MEYER-J.7D iiel,verect judgment in this important appeal this morning. The contention was whether the respondent, Mr. Hessenmeyer, an attorney, was entitled to take a mortgage security or right of redemption from his client, on the eve of bankruptcy, in payment or security of his bill of costs, in preference to the bankrupt's other cre ditors. The security taken was over two houses, Nos. 1 and 2, Franklin-villas, Chelsea. The Lord Chancellor, after delivering a long and elaborate judgment, came to the conclusion that the bankrupt, in granting, and the solicitor, in tak ing the security in question, did not obtain it in fraud of the other creditors of the bankrupt ; that it was a bona fide transaction which the bank rupt and his solicitor were entitled to enter into ; and that the assignee in bankruptcy was not en titled to set it aside on the ground of fraud. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, with costs, and dismissed the a ppeal. COURT OF APPEAL. GOLDING Y. CASTLE. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner, in delivering judgment in this case, made a slight alteration in the decree of the Master of the Rolls, and dismi3sed the appeal with costs as between party and party. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) STOATE V. STOATS—ALIMONY. Dr. Swabey said this was a petition for alimony pendente lite, in a suit for a judicial separation against her husband for desertion. It appeared from the books of the society that the respondent was a member of Gray's-inn, and was called to the bar in 1847, but he had never practised. He re sided at Minehead, in Somersetshire, where his father previous to his death resided. The father's will was proved in January, 1837, and the per sonalty was sworn under 10,000/ , the respondent taking anequal moiety of the estate with his brother. The petitioner alleged that the respondent was pos sessed of household property in Bath, at Porlock, and several other places, and that his income amounted to 1,200/. a year. The respondent, in his answer to the petition, stated his income to be only 3201. a year, without stating what he 'pos sessed wider his father's will. Since 1853 the re spondent had refused to receive his wife, and had allowed her nothing towards her maintenance. Mr. Stoate appeared in person, and in address ing the Court, said—l know nothing about the property mentioned in the petition. I get very little from my property, after paying repairs ; and. as I have never practised at the bar, I have no in come from that source. He proceeded to reflect in strong terms on the conduct of his wife, when The learned Judge informed him it was not the proper time to enter on that part of the case. Mr. Stoate, however, proceeded to address the Court iu a rambling strain. The learned Judge reminded him he was not in order, which probably arose from his not having practised at the bar. Mr. Stoate said that eight words out of every ten in his wife's petition were false, and again referred to the allegations in the petition. The learned Judge again informed him he was out of order, and made an order for alimony at the rate of CO& a year on the amount of income he had shown himself to be possessed of—the amount to be paid monthly. Mr. Stoate—l hope your lordship won't make it payable till after the trial of the petition. The learned Judge said the object of the appli cation was for its payment during the proceedings. Dr. Swabey said that as the respondent denied the allegation in the wife's petition, he had to apply to the Court to say how it should be tried. The learned Judge asked if either patty wished to have a jury ? Mr. Sioaie—l do, and to ask your lordship to send a commissioner to Bristol to examine the wit nesses there. The learned Judge said he could not do it. Alimony at the rate of M. a-year, plyable monthly, was then decreed. _HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Regtstrar. Oeneral.) The deaths in London in the week ending July 17 were 1,173. The tendency of the mortality to increase, caused by the heat, appears to have been temporarily checked by the fall of the temperature, together with the timely rains. The mean tempe rature of the air was, in the four weeks ending June 26, 66 deg. ; in the two subsequent weeks it fell to 57 deg. ; and last week it rose again to 66 deg. In the 10 years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 976 ; but as the deaths now returned occurred in a population which has annually increased, they can only be compared with the average after it has been rsised in proportion to the increase, a correc tion which will make it 1,073. From the compari son it appears that 100 deaths were placed on the registers last week above the number which would have been registered if the mortality had not ex ceeded the average for the second week of July. According to the "healthy rate" of mortality, as obtained from those districts in England where men live under the least unfavourable conditions, the deaths in London would be 799 ; and the ex cess over this standard, which is shown by the number actually returned, is 374. The deaths from the zymoVc class of diseases, which were in the previous week 445, declined last week to 403. Among these the disease most fatal at the present time is diarrhoea, the deaths from which in the two weeks were 129 and 126 ; those from cholera decreased from 13 to 4 ; and three of these four occurred to children, and were caused by summer cholera; the fourth case was that of a young woman who died at Woolwich after three days' illness. All of the 126 cases of diarrhoea occurred among infants, with the exception of nine. This complaint was prevalent, apparently, in two of the North Districts, Marylebone and St. Pancras, especially the former. Measles and scarlatina were most fatal in the east districts and in those of the south side of the river. The deaths from scarlatina were 73, or double the ave rage number. Three deaths from diphtheria are returned by the Registrar of St. George s, Holborn, who mentions with regard to one case iu Lamb's Condeit-street, that it is the second death in the family from diphtheria within a fortnight ; and with regard to another in Old North-street, that three members of the family where it occurred are now suffering from the same complaint. Few widows died last week at the following ad vanced ages :-90, 94, 95, and 96. Last week the births of 788 boys and 796 girls, in all 1,584 children, were registered iu LJudou. tl:c ice e_eee,youCting weeks of the years 1848- 57 the average number was 1,08.

The Thames waters contain ing the greatest amount of impurity were taken at the beginning of the month after a fall of rain, while those exhibiting the smaller quantities of foreign matter in solution 6 were procured towards the end of the month after a protracted period of dry weather. The analyses were made by Dr. Robert Dundas Thompson, F.R.S., of Sr. Thomas's Hospital. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 831 inches. The highest barometrical reading was 29.97 inches on Monday. The mean temperature of the week was 66 . 4 deg., which is a 4 hee : lni d alel e a g tio . , a bove that of the same week on an average of 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The daily temp rature was above the:average throujl the week, and on Thursday the excess was 11.3 deg. On that day the highest temperatures in the sun and the shade were obtained, the former lelving been 111.1 deg., the latter 88 . 2 deg. The lowest temperature in the week was 51 . 5 deg. on Monday ; and the whole range of th e wee k was therefore 36 . 7 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 9 . 4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 72. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 64 deg. The wind was generally in the south-west. Rain fell on Friday to the amount of 0 . 61 in., most of which fell early in the morning during a thunderstorm of much violence and long duration. The Akhbar of Algiers says that the reason why the Countess Ran(lon left that city, to join the Marshal at Paris, was that the latter's absence from Algeria is likely to be longer than was expected. SPORTING NOTES. A GLANCE AT GOODWOOD. The Riorios of Cloc - Iwood Dot be diminished. Fine weather will only be required for the approach ing meeting to take rank wits the most successful of its predecessors. There will be the same array of "beauty and chivalry" in the grand stand, and the same exciting sport that have been associated with Goodwood, since the gathering suddenly sprung from a mere yeomanry Meeting, got up by the Dukes of Richmond exclusively for the amusement of their tenants. The late Lord George Bentinck, indeed, advanced the meeting to a prosperity with that energy and determination which marked his character, and although, since the breaking up of the Duke of Richmond's racing establishment, the meeting has not been conducted with that spirit and tact which founded its popularity, yet it has not been allowed to "dwindle to nothing" from mismanagement or an indifference to its fortunes. The programme has been already conned and studied by all tutfites, who are as well acquainted with its contents as a schoolboy is with the ques tions in a " Guide to Knowledge." The racing is likely to produce a material effect on St. Leger speculations, and it may direct the betting on the Derby of '59 into quite new channels. Referring to the pages of "Ruff," the Gratwicke Stakes, with its 17 nominations, first presents itself. This event will perhaps be devoid of importance, for Toxophilite, withihis Gibs. allowanc, , , must hit the target of success, especially as his most for midable competitors on paper seem to be Mont more and the Gala colt. The Ham Stakes will, perhaps, bring out three or four animals of whom great expectations are entertained. The most successful public performer amongst the nominations is Mayonaise, who has a 6 lbs. allowance. She will encounter Antonio (brother to Anton), and the Heroine of Lucknow, a filly of whom the Newmarket folk are very proud. Merryman, despite his extra weight, will perhaps add the Lavant Stakes to his list of wins, unless indeed Mutineer, of whom I have received a favour able report, be able to make him strike his colours. It is rumoured, however that John Scott's, horses are for the most part on the sick list, and should this be true very little mischief will be apprehended from Whitewall at Goodwood. Wednesday's list has the Stakes for its principal attraction, and the Roman Candle will, it is ex pected, shine with additional brilliancy for it. That he is weighted leniently enough it must be con fessed, but " The Candle" may be snuffed out. Rosati is literally turned loose, but she possesses no form, and according to public running it must be confessed that Fright and Gemma di Vergy are entitled to serious consideration. With the excep tion of the Goodwood Derby, for which Ethiopean may be brought out to oppose Eclipse, Wednes day's list does not at present require further notice. The Cup will be the "great go" of the week, and both France and America may send horses into the arena. The French champion will be Ventre St. this—facetiously called in the ring "Venture Your Grease''—and onr " Allies" may again bear our most prized turf trophy from this country. Blink Bonny will, it is said, make her "first appearance in public since her severe indisposition" for the Sixth Memorial Stakes. I could almost wish that she may not win, for if she fail, according to the conditions of the race the per centage—about 7001.—which has been deducted from the stakes, will be added to a handicap next year. The Eighth Memorial will occasion an interesting two-yr-old race ' • and Merryman may be called upon to mea sure his strength against the slashing North Lin coln for the Findon Stakes. Then there are the Stewards' and the Chesterfield Cups, and the Nur sery, for all of which large entries have been ob tained, and altogether the prospect of a glorious week is bright enough. The Nottingham meeting has been a compara tive failure. Messrs. Barber and Saxon, with their " resuscitated" Pretty Boy, won the handicap, and indeed had the lion's share of good things. The gathering which will take place to-morrow and Friday at Stamford will be more distinguished for its quietness than for its sport. Wrestler may win the St. Leger • Pandora will have only Rare Avis to fear for the Collyweston Stakes, and Sir Hercules will carry off the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes. Haymaker will win the Burghley Stakes. The Ketton Stakes ought to be won by Leontes, and the Gold Cup I shall of course assign to Fisherman. The Marlborough list looks well, and its promise is likely to be fully realised. The Severnake Forest Handicap seems likely to fall to either Scourge or Sampson. The 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes will excite much interest. The race will, in my opinion, lie between Cantine and Zitella, and for the Members' Plate I shall select the Gala colt. A FRESH MAN. NOTTINGHAM JULY MEETING.—TURSDAY.

This club, now numbering upwards of 500 members, sailed yesterday its second match of the season, for throe prizes, the first of which was a very handsome silver claret jug. The competing yachts were of the third class, and the following was the entry list: — Yachts. Tons. Owners. Julia 8 ... P. Turner, Esq. Blue Bell 6 J. Ridgway, Esq. Atalanta 4 ... T. and T. N. Talfourd, Esqre• Little Mosquito 8 ... E. T. Bulmer, Esq. Contrary to expectation with so small a fleet, a fine ex'• citing race took place. The late conquests of the Mosquito had randered her so strongly the favourite that she was freely backed at 2 and 3 to 1 against the others, although the Julia had undergone some improvements, and had the scientific and export crew of the Zillah on board, with Mr. E. linibbs at her helm.
