The confusion in King AGRAMANT'S camp was nothing to the consternation excited in the Pal merstonian ranks by the brilliant address of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The home truths revealed by the Right Hon. Gentleman have ex cited the minds of his factious opponents to the fiercest wrath. They wince under the energetic application of the scourge, which he wielded with such unsparing severity. There are howls of every character, from the thorough bass (or hose) to the shrill squeak of a penny whistle —a bad imitation of the peripatetic Punch, who, wanting the wit of the Prototype, are con tented if they make it up in noise and clamour. Mr. DISRAELI has stripped the lacquer off the native brass. Like St. PATRICK, in the Hiber nian atyth, he has crushed the venomous reptiles, and their "pharisaical" patrons who gave, or seemed to give, implicit credence to " the leading articles written by themselves." The description of the Friday evening in the House of Commons was inimitable, when " the wail of distress " not from the Ministerial - benches—was heard around. There was a cool plete revolution. A mutiny only to be compared to that of " the Bengal Army. Regiment after regiment, corps after corps, general after general, all acknowledged that they could not march through Coventry. It was like a convulsion of nature rather than any ordinary transaction of human life. It only could be likened to one of those earthquakes which take place in Calabria or Peru. There was a rumbling murmur, a groan, a shriek, a sound of distant thunder. No one knew whether it came from the top or the bottom of the house. There was a rant—a fissure iu the ground—and then a village disappeared, then a lan tower toppled down, and the whole of the Opposition benches became one great dissolving view of anarchy." Welt might the Right Honourable Ge n tleman the exclaim, "are theseieople whom you wanti#ne whom h whose camp to govern the country ? People ) there is anarchy, betweenre is discord on every point, and who are not even incited the common bond of wishin g to seiz e on the ap°il3 by of office." They a re not. The so-called i‘i-,,1 pondent "'dowse° nian Liberals," altho igh they do nob like the DEBBY Government, do not seo their way to any benefit, either for themselves or the nation, in the return to office of the veteran Another ingenious plan for the batter drainage of the metropolis has been submitted to the con sideration of the metropolitan commissioners. As if there were not enough plans already to bewilder any ordinary board, and to render as dubious as possible the chance of any speedy attempt at one comprehensive improvement. Engineer after engineer has proffered his suggestions under this head, and up to the present moment nothing at all definitely has ever yet come of it. The Metropolitan Board of Works has been particu larly hasty in the matter. The General Board of Health has taken it into its serious consider*. tion. The Deodorisation Commission has not been by any means idle. Reports have been drawn up and published periodically. Statistics have been sedulously accumulated. Sir Brm- J'AIIIN HALL has scrutinized the problem from every imaginable point of view, in the hope of at last arriving at some satisfactory solution. Lord JOHN MANNERS has endeavoured, is still endea vouring to emulate the industry, and to surpass the sagacity of his energetic and indefatigable pre decessor. Dr. LETREBY has " many a time and oft." insisted upon the necessity for some resolute and instant reform in this direction being forth with undertaken by Her MAJESTY'S Government. Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH has lent the aid of his great authority towards the improvement of this all but universal and overwhelming couvietion. Mr. EDWIN CHADWICK has sustained with his great authority the same powerful and convincing argument. From Gwydyr House, from Guild hall, from Whitehall place, there have been per petually pouring in additional facts demonstrative more and more clearly of the sore need there is of some determined effort being made towards the purification of London and Westminster. Mean while—so much having been spcken, written, v.nd printed upon the subject—what bas been actually done Surely nobody needs to be told that after all these years, after all the hubbub in the way of argument and consultation, what has actually been done amounts just exactly to—Nothing. Not only nothing has been Done, however, but absolutely nothing all this while, up to the pre sent moment, has even been Attempted to be done ! There have been plans in abundance, but not one of these plans has ever once been frankly and boldly taken in hand. And now—after all the time and the toil thus wasted—forth comes a bran new plan for the better drainage of the metropolis—to what end ! of what precise cha racter ! Now, mark ! The last new plan in re ference to the main drainage question, the plan now formally submitted to the consideration of the Metropolitan Commissioners affects not in any way to purify the Thames, and beyond that goes the length of explicitly proposing that the sewage shall be discharged within the metropolitan area. So that literally the short and the long of it is— that before this new Government plan could by any possibility be accepted and acted upon, a new act would have to be framed and passed through both houses of Parlia. went. For so long as the Metropolis Loeal Management Act continues in existence in its pre sent form it would be a direct infringement of that particular act of the Imperial Legislature, ; either to discharge the sewage within the metro- I politan area or not to see to the purification of the river Thames. And, what is more, we don't think it at all within the bounds of mere probability that the Lords and Commons can be induced nowa days to alter by a hair's breadth, the terms of that special enacttnent. It is obviously, therefore, sheer waste of time for the Commissioners to b e pottering over the impracticable suggestions o f an illegal plan like the one just now ssgely su t,_ mitted to their consideration. Let us hope that the last of these abortive plans may, without any further delay, be strangled betimes with its own swathing bands of red tape, and buried away decen.ly in the cerements of circumlocution. Several journals have announced that the Cairnaeati of Moldavia, Pines Vogoride9, was at the point of death. A telegram from Jassy, dated May 24, contradicts this news. . COPYRIGHT IN WORKS OF FINE ART.—A Petition to the Reuse of Lords, praying, an amendment of the law of artistic copyright, already signed by Sir Charles East lake, P.R.A., is now and will be lying at the house of the Socety of Arts in the Adelphi for the next few cloys. All persons interested in the subject should lose ❑o time in sluing it. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENI N -G, MAY _2B, 1858. SUMMER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES. Yesterday the judges of the Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, assembled in the Exchequer Chamber for the purpose of choosing and arranging the several circuits upon which they will respectively proeeed to hold the ensuing assize of cyer and terminer and general gaol delivery in and for the several counties in England and Wales. The following are the arrange meats made : HOME CIRCUIT.—Judges : Mr. Justice Wines and Mr. Baron Bramwell, Assizes to be holden at Hertford, Chelmsford, Croydon, Maidstone, and Lewes. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Judges : Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Justice of England. Mr. Justice Wight man. Assizes to be holden at Aylesbury, Bedford, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Ipswich, Norwich and City. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Judges : Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and Mr. Justice Williams. Assizes to be holden at Northampton, Leicester, Oakham, Lin coln-over-the-Heath, Nottingham, Derby, and Warwick. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Judges : The Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir Frederick Pollock, and Mr. Baron Martin. Assizes to be holden at Lancaster, Appleby, Carlisle, Newcastle, Durham, York, and Liverpool. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Judges : Mr. Baron Wat son and Mr. Baron Channel'. Assizes to be holden at Winchester, Devizes, Dorchester, Exeter, Bod min, Wells, and Bristol. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Judges : Mr. Justice Cole ridge (or Mr. Hugh Hill) and Mr. Justice Byles. Assizes to be holden at Abingdon, Oxford, Wor cester, Stafford, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Monmouth, and Gloucester.

SOUTH WALES AND CHESTER CIRCUIT.—Judge : Mr. Justice Crompton. Assizes to be holden at Cardiff, Haverford west, Cardigan, Carmarthen, Brecon, Presteign, and Chester. Mr. Justice Erle remains iu town as vacation judge. BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY AND STEAM NAVIGATION GIIIDE.—The new edition of Bradshaw contains several improvements which renders the publication so complete in all its details as to be as easy and ready of reference to the inexperienced railway traveller as a work of such magnitude ca❑ possibly be made. The map now em braces the whole of the United Kingdom, and shows in a clear and distinct form every line of railway in Great Britain and Ireland. The classification of rail ways is drawn up on entirely new plan, and the unique index to towns is now so arranged as to avoid unnecessary repetition of reference when the same place is referred to in several pages. The key to the general arrangement and plan of the Guide is a most welcome and convenient addition, by coniult . ng which the travel ler will be greatly facilitated in his references to the publication. Another important improvement is the introduction of an abridged time and fare table of all the great lines of railway. They embrace all the prin cipal towns, and precede the usual ordinary time tables of the Guide. By them the public are enabled to see at a glance the departure and arrival of the trains, with the fares, between all the most important places in the kingdom. In every page of the Guide it is evident that the greatest care and vigilance bas been exercised to simplify every reference and to lender the work as complete as possible. A NOVEL DOG KENNEL.—One day tact week (says a correspondent of the Birmingham Daily Post) we were much amused by observing a contretemps which hap pened to a lady. According to the fashion of the pre sent day she wore a tremendous display of crinoline. She was accompanied by "a duck of a dog," and the frolicxorne dear popped and frisked about as little dogs do, until at length he popped under the crinoline, and there, despite her efforts to dial dgs him from his snug abode, he remained for several minutes. The lady blushed and looked angry at the curious predicament she was in, the passers by smiled at the incident, but we of course were not so rude as to wait the denouement of the affair, REMEDY FOR TYPHUS FEVER.—In 1845, Dr. Chew, of Baltimore, first tried the chlorate of potash in typhus fever, and with extraordinary success, having only lost two patients out of 72. His formul a was : c hl ora t e o f potash, 4 grammes ; bi carbonate of soda and gum of acacia, 8 grammes of each ; water 250 g r ammes ; a table-spoonful of the mixture to in administered every taco hours, until the period of convalescence had com menced. Last year, Dr. Bellentani, of Ouarville (Eure et-Loir), obtained similar results by administering in the beginning 2 grammes per day in a mixture of 60 grammes of gum•watcr and 40 of syrup of lemons, and increasing the ehlorate by one gramme every second day. The drink of the patient cooei-ted in some cooling decoction, and cftener still, in an abundant supply of pars cold water ; an enema of cold water was moreover adminis tered once a day, besides cold applications on the abdo men of a solution of 30 grammes of chlorate of potash and 10 of hydrochloric acid in 1,000 grammes of water. The Abcille Medicale now publishes certain observations made by Dr. Taliaferro, of Atlanta, in Georgia, on the &eta of this new remedy. Having lived for several years in a locality where the typhus fever is endemic, he had ample opportunities for experimenting on the subject, and it will be remarked that the doses he administers are much larger than those of his predecessors. He, moreover, adds a smell quantity of tincture of weratrum, viride to the chlorate as a sedative ; his formula being : Chlorate of potash, 120 grammes ; tincture of veratrurn, 2 grammes ; a table-spoonful of the mixture every three hours during the day, arid a dose of opium in the even ing. Tha result is a speedy abatement of the most alarm ing symptoms, no delirium in most cases, and great miti gation cf nervous irritation. Convalescence begins at the end of about a foi Wight. Dr. Taliaferro allows his pa tients some food and wine during the whole period of the disord.r. A REMEDY FOR CHRONIC CORYZA.—Dr. Soubrier, of Bruyeres (Seine-et-Oise), recommends the following powder as a certain curd for this affection of the nose, which, when chronic, is extremely inconvenient, offen sive, ansi difficult to remove. Four grammes of subni trate of bismuth, mixed with six or eight grammes of powdered liquorice, may be taken as snuff, at the rate of 10 or 12 pi❑ches a day, until the cure is effected. Some times from 30 to 40 centigrammes of the indide of sul phur are added to the above dose, to increase its activity. This powder pe❑etrat.es into all the irregular cavities of the nostrils, promotes the secretion of mucus, prevents the rartial decomposition it undergoes in consequence of a prolonged stay in the nostrils, and ultimately re duces the secretion of the mucus membrance to its ordinary proporti.n. Should the membrane, by an excessive use of the powder, become dry and irritable, a little fresh butter may be introduced icto the nostrils, and the powder discontinued. It may be added that the latter has an agreeable smell, and is perfectly innocuous. ALPHABET OF PROVERBS.—A grain of prude❑ce is worth a pound of craft. Boaster; are cousins to liars. Cmfession of a fault makes half amends. Denying a fault doubles it. Envy shooteth at others and woundeth herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God reaches good things by our hands. He has hard work who has nothing ts do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence it. Proud looks make foul work in fair faces. Quiet conscience gives quiet sleep. Richest is he that wan's least. Small faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater. The boughs that bear most hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happi ness aro mother and daughter. Wise men make more opportunities than they find. You never lose by doing a good turn. Zeal without knowledge is without light. Tae GOLD IN VANOOuvED'S ISLAND.—We learn from advices via ayinpia, United States, that a gentleman who bad arrived there direct from Victoria, Vancouver's Island, represents the speciroeue of gold found in the Fraser River district as being quite coarse ; one piece, weighed in his presence, was worth a fraction over 12 dole. He also states that from 5 dole, to 15 dole. and 20 dole, a day had been washed out, but thinks that there are more miners whose average product is under 8 dole. per day than above that amount. The Hudson's Bay Company's steamer Beaver, recently arrived at Victoria from Forts Hope and Langley, brought 16.bs. of gold dust that had been traded from the miners on Fraser's and Thompson'; Rivera. &veva! private parcels were sent down fur the purchase of supplies, mining tools, &c. Nearly all the half-breeds and French, together with many other residents on Van couver's Island, were in the gold region, and it is thought there were already there, and en route, frOm 600 to 800 persons. The northern portion of Washington territory was becoming well-nigh deserted. The lumbering esta.• blishinents on the waters of Puget Sound find it ex tremely difficult to keep in operation, owing to the num ber of hands that had left and were constantly leaving for the north. —Canadian New;. THE IRON AND COAL TRADES.—We have this week to report a 'till further improvement in the tone of the iron trade, and some good orders have been received in the district. Not only so, but the accounts from Ame rica are of a more cheering character. Messrs. Naylor, Vickers, and Co., of Sheffield and Liverpool, who sus pended payments in November last, have announced their intention, owing to favourable advices from Ame rica, of at once resuming payments, instead of allowing, as arranged, their liabilities (as far as their settlement was concerned) to extend to next year. Another large American merchant has received remittances from thence, which far more than cover his account, and he is of opinion that in the course of a month, or two at the farthest, some good orders will be received from Ame rica ; and the manner in which their indebtedness to the merchants in this country is being settled imparts a brightening pro: ect as to the future. In South Wales things are assuming a much better aspect ; the docks begin to he full of shipping, and at the present time large quantities of railway iron are being sent away. It is hoped that the very perceptible alteration in the trade which has recently taken place will be continued, and that we shall not relapse again into a quiescent state, which has been the ca ' e of late after our hopes have been excited. Former signs of activity have been regarded as omens of prosperity, but these expectations have not teen realised. Now, however, the fact cannot be controverted that the prospects in America are daily becoming more hopeful, and ere long we expect to be benefited to a greater or less extent, as the stocks in that country are very bare. The coal trade is rather in clined to- langour, but with few exceptions prices remain unaltered. Stone, the yield of the district, continues in god demand at our last quotations.—Wolrerhampton Chronicle. THE Icxw PAUL VERONESE IN THE NATIONAL GAL LERY.—" This fastidious Roman expressed also his an noyance at the inaccuracy of the costume, in Paul's fine picture of the Family of Darius presented to Alex• ander,' and lamented that so admirable a work should have been blemished by this gross anachronism. You are, doubtless, well acquainted with a painting which belongs to a branch of your family. It may be truly called the triumph of colouring ; and certainly more harmony, splendour, and loveliness, never met together in one picture. To these merits must be added the truth of charsc'er which prevails inall the heads, most of which are psrtraits. Forget for a moment that the incident is borrowed from ancient story ; imagine it the victory of a her) of the sixteenth century, and the paintiog becomes, in al respects, a masterpiece. The archi tecture, in the background, gives a tone to the wt- ole ; but it required the delicate outlines and the exquisite perception of harmonious c goofing which distinguish Pa 1 Veronese, to give relief and contrast to the figures awl draperies on so light a ground. The pyra midal group, formed by an old man and f ur female figures, is superlatively lovely ; the countenances won derfully expressive, and sparkling with animation. The head of Alexander is beautiful, but deficient in masculine firmness, and more adapted to charm the softer sex than to awe the world ; while the nobler features of Parmenio exhibit a strength of charac er finely contrasted with the more feminine graces of the royal conqueror, and his yellow drapery is admirab ly folded and coloured. How exquisitely fi nished, toe, I s the long and beautiful y braided flaxen hair of the Persian Princesses ! And what a host of figures In his noble picture, inot,t of them the size of life, as in the 'Nuptials of Cana I' Certainly, this painting is nearly unrivalled in close fidelity to nature ; and in the truth and splendour of its co oaring, it yields only to that triumphant specimen of Venetian art in the Scuola della Carita, Titian's Presentation of Vie Virgin in t 1 e Temple." Tne:;e tNo pictures will ling maintain their glorioussupremacy, and will probably never be surpassed. This painter's violation of costume is, in fact, only a defect in the eyes of antiquarians. The great mass of society overtook it, and care only for what gratifies the eye and the imagination. Nevertheless, I would re commend to artists generally the avoidance of subjects Lorrowcd from ancient history. It is far easier to excel in the folds and colourings of modern drapery, than to delineate the light garb and native elegance of Grec as forms. Nor could any painters, but those who lies in the times of Pericles and Aspasia, do justice to those most classical and graceful of all subjects."—Prom No 11. of Talcs from 111(0.'40 0 d. — 4 ` Oaonna (Ice Paipter," L TE.S T N AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The Ariel, steamship, Captain Ludlow, has ar rived from Now York. Advices anticipated by the Borussia. The Ariel brings 306 passengers, 60 of them for Southampton, and the rest for Bremen. She has no specie. MARSEILLES, THURSDAY. The arrival of the steamer Valetta puts us in possession of news from China to the 12th April. They confirm the statement that Lord Elgin had declared himself ready to employ force to penetrate to Pekin itself, for the purpose of opening the free access to the interior of China to the world. The journals express hopes that Teentsin, situated about 60 miles from the capital, will be easily taken. A demand for gunboats for river service has been made. The authorities continue their tortures of all suspected to be favourable to the Allied Powers and to the throwing open of the ports. Some horrid acts of barbarity have come to light, and anarchy prevails in the interior. CALCUTTA, APRIL 22.—The insurgents at ...hazim ghur have been crushed ; but the insurrectionary spirit has extended to the north and west. The hot season has brought sickness, as usual, in its train. The commercial position is unfavourable. VIENNA, THURSDAY. The French ships of war ordered to the Adriatic have received the order to return. They quitted Gravosa this day. The Montenegrin alair will be settled definitively at Constantinople. The Turks arc landing large forces at Ragusa, but the English and French Consuls are doing their best to prevent collision. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Conferences are not expected to meet again before Monday next. Count Walewski and Earl Cowley have returner' to Fontainbleau. The Prince Royal of Wurtemberg took leave of, their Majesties yesterday morning at Fontaine bleau, and returned to Paris, where his Royal Highness intends remaining until to-morrow (Sa t urd ay), whets he leaves for Stuttgard. It is not true that a naval force will make a de monstration on the coast of Morocco. M. de Wine, who was wounded M a duel with Lieutenant Hyenne, of the 9th Chasseurs, is dying. It is not expected that ho will survive this night. In case of his death, his father will institute proceedings against Lieutenant Hyenne. The screw transport Loire, which sailed yester day from Brest, with convicts for Cayenne, had on board Rudio, the confederate of Orsini in the at tempt to assassinate the Emperor on the 14th of January. Accounts from Toulon, dated yesterday, state that the screw ship of the line Napoleon is being prepared for sea, in order to reinforce the Mediter ranean fleet. M. Tricoupi, the Greek Minister to London, has been in Paris for some clays past. He is anxious while the Congress is sitting that the three protect ing Powers shall define the meaning of the treaty entered into between Greece and Turkey in 1854, with a view to avoid misinterpretation in future. The commission appointed by the Prefect of the Haut Rhin to ascertain the precise result of the late election, iu the circumscription of Belfort, for a deputy to the legislative body, has declared that M. Migeon obtained 16,020 votes, and M. Keller 14,592.

By the Euphrate, which has just arrived at Marseilles from Alexandria, we have received details r.specting the fatal accident already briefly announced by telegraph : " After attending the solemn reception given to the Viceroy of Alexandria, on the occasion of the fetes of Bairam, AhmetPasha, nephew, and Halim Ibrahim Pacha, brother of the Viceroy, Kereddin Pacha, Itifaat Bey, Minister of Commerce, and a number of distinguished personages left by rail way to return to Cairo. On arriving at Caffre el Eis the carriages composing their train, which were four in number, had as usual to be pushed on to a steam ferry to be conveyed across the Nile, but the Arabs employed pushed them too fast, and the consequence was that the vehicles fell into the water. On seeing the accident, some persons raised loud cries ; and Halim Ibrahim Pacha jumped through the carriage window into the Nile, and was saved. The greatest efforts were made to save the other personages, but Ahmet Pacha, Ke reddin Pacha, and Ritara Bey was drowned, as was also a negro slave, who was in the same car riage with them. Several other personages shared the same fate. The dead bodies of the princ e an d other victims were susequently got out of the river, but several could not be found. The news of the fatal accident having reached Cairo, the Viceroy manifested the greatest sorrow, and the other princes of the reigning family, attended by the Ministers of the Interior, Finance, and Foreign Af fairs, hastened to the scene of the disaster, and ac companied the mortal remains of Ahmet Pacha to the capital. Ahmet, who was the heir of the reigning Viceroy, was educated in France, and was noted for his liking for Europeans.

The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—Mr. Andrew's letter, in your impression of to-day, calls for a few remarks from me. My mis take as to the route of the proposed telegraphic line through Asiatic Turkey hardly affects the argu ments which I urged against its feasibility, for whether the ling runs through Sivas or Aleppo it must touch at Diarbekir, and from Diarbekir to Basra the risk awaiting it will be in fill play. Again, none of the post-houses in Turkey are nearer than 20 miles apart, and are generally located near towns or villages. While this arrangement suffices, under rrdinary circumstances, for their protection, the inter mediate distances are frequently overrun by marauding Arabs. Were this not the case, the post might travel unprotected, whereas up to the present day it is accom panied by an escort ; and most Europeans, even when journeying by po,t, are not deemed safa without a similar guard. I know of no district between Bagdad and Bara where the wires would be safe ; for, though the Arabs for a part of the distance are not, strictly speaking, Bedouins, they are not therefore more under the control of the local Turkish authorities, or better disposed towards them, and the Arabs who have settled and have become cultivators of the soil are themselves frequently exposed ro the inroads of their nomads neighbours. The state of the tribes might have been more favourable daring Captain Lynch's residence at Basra, but this only serves to show that a country so liable to change, and upon the security of which no dependence can be placed for a month together, is little adapted for a line of telegraphic communication. General Chesney's remark upon the proffered assist. arcs of the Sheikh of the Shammar may be adduced in illustration of the above observation. The Shammar a few years ago were at feud with the Government; now they are subsidised by them. But can any one tell how long the alliance will last ! And in case of a rupture what would become of the wires whizla the Shammar had helped to erect ? Besides, it must be borne in mind that the Shainmar have no influence south of Bagdad, where many of the tribes, though smaller, are far more lawless than those in Upper Mesopotamia, and very lately, as I observed in my last letter, the Shammar, aided by the Turkish Nizam, were thoroughly beaten on their own ter ritory by the more powerful Arez. Omar Pasha may, in deed, do something to bring about a better state of things in his Pashalic, just as Mohammed Pasha of Mosul did 20 years ago ; but what security is there that his successor will not suffer the country to lapse into greater disorder than before ? Persona at all acquainted with the history of those districts for the last half-century will at once acknowledge the force of the foregoing observations. General Chesney, I perceive, suggests that the cable might be laid from Basra to Bagdad, in the bed of the Tigris. Should this be practicable, the Asiastic Turkey line would be rid of one of its most formidable difficul ties. I remember, however, that while on the river last year one or two scientific men remarked that owing to the rapids and the shifting nature of the banks in the stream itself the cable would not be safe. On the feasi bility or otherwise of General Chesney's suggestion on this point I am myself quite incompetent to offer any opinion. With regard to expense, and what remains to be done by parties in England to complete or set on foot either of the two lines proposed (on which Mr. Andrew lays great stress), I have nothing to say, having no interest whatever in that respect in the one or the other, my sole object to point out to the public in a matter of national importance which of the two routes is most available and advantageous ; for it will readily be allowed that all the preparations made by the Turkish Government will be of little use to us if the wires are to be destroyed as soon as laid down. Besides, it is, unfortunately, no war rant for the wisdom of any such scheme that the Porte has taken up this line of telegraphic communication through Asiatic Turkey to Basra. Strong influence from with out has frequently induced the Porte to engage in the most chimerical projects, just as the present said Pacha is being urged to father that monstrous folly the Suez Canal scheme, so that ho may not be behind his prede cessor, Mohammed Ali, who was bad enough to build the Barrage. I am quite ready to admit Sir Henry Rawlinson's authority on many points connected with the East, but I must join issue with him on the subject of the great difficulty of establishing telegraphic communication via the Red Sea, as expressed in a quotation from his speech given by Mr. Andrew. That opinion was advanced before the publication of Captain Pullen's report, and I am strongly inclined to believe that Sir Henry on the occa sion named referred to obstacles which since Capt. Pul len's survey have been proved to be purely imaginary. The case, therefore, stands thus :—Gen. Chesney sees no difficulty in establishing a telegraphic line by the Red Sea, and Capt. Lynch is of the same opinion ; indeed, the facts of its practicability and security are now be yond question. On the other hand, its warmest sup porters cannot give the same guarantee for the security of the Asiatic route ; besides which, as Gen. Chesney most judiciously remarks, in the one case we shall have a complete command of the cable ; in the other, if adopted, the line would include Constantinople, Asia Minor, Bagdad, and Persia also. The British Government well know how to estimate an advantage of this nature in connection with the eventualities of European politics. In conclusion ' I beg most sincerely to disown any hos tility to Mr. Andrew's scheme ; let his line be laid down by all means, but let not the supporters of The Red Sea route (with whom, I may say iu passing, I have no ac quaintance whatever) be deterred from carrying out their project without delay. There is no rivalry t;fear, since I feel convinced that as regards India'only the Red Sea line will be permanently available.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, GEORGIE PERCY BADGER, 17, St. Petersburg-place, Bayswater, May 26. Sir,—ln your impression of to-day Mr. Layard, in his haste to find objections to the Persian Gulf route, among other mistakes asserts that because I have not been in Turkish Arabia my information is incorrect, ignoring entirely that part of my letter which refers to the opinio❑ of Sir Henry Rawlinson, as 9xpressed in the House of Commons, and what I stated on the authority of Capt. Lynch, and forgetting what he himself bad written in his work on "Nineveh and Babylon," that the worst of the Arabs " may be easily governed and moved by kind ness and equitable treatment." From the moment I ventured to advocate the establish ment of telegraphic c)mmunication with India through Asiatic Turkey 1 have been aided by the information and advice of those who have resided among, and have traded with the Arabs, or who have scientifically ex plored and surveyed their country, and whose opinions on the great question at issue I must prefer, for many reasons, to those of Mr. Layard. Thankiug you for having allowed me an opportunity of stating my views in your columns on former occa sions I once more request the favour of your inserting this letter.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, W. P. ANDREW, Chairman. European and Indian Junction Telegraph Co., Gresham house, Old Broad street, London, May 27. Sir,—Having seen in the Times of to-day a letter from Mr. Layard, in which he expresses his belief that a line of telegraph through Asiatic Turkey could not be maintained, on account of the Arab tribes, I have no hesitation iu stating the substance of the evidence whic4 was given by me before a committee of the House of Commons last year upon this subject, the purport of which was that no difficulties whatever were to be ex pected from the Arabs if proper relations were estab lished with their chiefs. The following extracts from Mr. Layard's book, pub lished shortly after his return from Asiatic Turkey, will convey a good idea of the high opinion then entertained by him of the trustworthiness of the Arabs. lam igno rant of the cause which has now led him to arrive at a different conclusion " That these wild tribes, however, are not insensible to justice and to a feeling of gratitude—that even they, igno rant and barbarous as they are, may be easily governed and moved by kindness and equitable treatment, has been proved by their conduct towards the few English mer chants and travellers who have had deali❑gs with them, and have visited the rivers on which they pri❑cipally dwell. "Mr. Rassam frequently sent Suttum across the desert with as much as 5001. or GOCV. in money, and always with the most complete confidence. His only reward was an occasional silk dress, or one or two camel loads of corn for his family, tho whole of the value of a few shil lings. Of late years the wool of the Bedouin sheep has been in considerable demand in the European markets, and a large trade in this article has already been opened with the Shammar. Money is generally advanced some months before the sheep are sheared, to enable the Arabs to buy their winter stock of provisions. Mr. Rassam has thus paid beforehand several thousand pounds without any written or other guarantee whatever. The tribes leave the neighbourhood of the town, and are not again heard of until their long strings of camels are seen bringing the promised wool. I rem ember a Mouin corning all the way alo from the neighbourhood of Bagdad to pay Mr. Rassam a trifling sum, I think between 3s. and 45., the balance of a wool account between them." Supposing, h o wever, that any appr e h ens i ons were to entertainedbe upposin from the hostility of the Arabs, it so hap pens that the proposed line goes through Asia Minor to Diyarbekir—a country where there are no Arabs what soever, and thence to Mosul, where there are only afa w tribes prr'ectly under the control of the Turkish Govern. ment, and who afforded such valuable aid to Mr. Layard in his explorations at Nimroud ; the telegraph will aft-r -wards, as stated by Mr. Andrew, follow the line of the po.t road by Arbil and Kirkuk to Bagdad through a quiet and cultivated cowry. "I may perhaps claim as much knowle,lge and experi ence as any Englishman ( f the country proposed to be crossed by the telegraphic line, and of its inhabitants," having accompanied General Chesney's expedition to the Euphrates, and Laving afterwards c m pleted a survey, which occupied three years, on behalf of the Royal Gec graphical Society, of the country extending from Con stantinople along the valley of the Tigris.—l am, Sir, your must obedient servant, WILLIAM AINSWORTH Ravenscourt Villa, Hammersmith, 111 , ty 27. PAVING OF REGENTTREET.—TheeIection for vestry- M2ll in St. James's, Westminster, took place on Tuesday amid an unuAual amount of excitement, consequent on the recent discursons with reference to the paving of Regent-street. The ratepayers who are oppoe el to the additional paving mustered in great numbers, an I tile c?sauliy carried their object by the election of a maj city of non-paving members, and which, they aro inclined to hope, will for a time set the question at rest—a fact, at any rate, most gratifying to the inhabitants of Regent street, who have strenuously ree , isted vihat they consider to be an encroachment on the privileges of their pro perty, and an unjustifiable outlay of parish money. B A TTLE OF GR A Hovo—THE 1101VTENE GRIN DESPATCHES. The Nord publishes the following despatches. The first is the report of the Voioode Mirko Petrovic Njegos, brother of Prince Danilo, and Presiient of the Montenegrin Senate : " Your Highness,—Tuesday, May the 11th, at seven o'clock in the morning, the weather thick, the infantry of the Ottoman army attacked the columns on our left flank, formed by the militias of Ceolyani, Cuci, Gravljani, Komani, and Zegarac. At the com me❑cement our columns slowly retired, then they opened a rapid fire on the Turks, and finally seizing their kandjars, they threw themselves on the enemy, singing the national song, Glory to God, And honour to our Prince.' The Turks fled and we pursued them to their trenched. They left on the field of battle 208 killed, without counting the wounded. Seeing that, the right wing, which I had the honour to aonsmand, also advanced, handjar in hand ; the centre advanced as well, commanded by Senator Djuro Kusovac. This column, formed of the guards of your highness, attacked the cavalry with the sword. Soon the contest became general, and the smoke of the Tnrkish artillery and mus ketry enveloped the field of battle like a thick fog. Finally, towards evening, the Turks were beaten along the whole line, and found refage in their entrenchments. " Wednesday, 12th May, I passed in review the forces in our camp. Our lure was 55 killed and 110 wounded, amongst whom is one chieftain and the brave commander of the guards of your highness, the Senator Djuro Kusovac, whose life is despaired of. The Turks left 520 tetes coupees on the field of battle. At present, your highness, I have so disposed our column r as to close ill the enemy on four sides. We have thus cat ofl• the enemy from all communication with his head-quarters, HO that he cannot longer draw his means of defence for his entrenched oamp.—Receive, &c., (Signed) " NTIBKO." The second report is addressed by the same Com mander-in-Chief of the Montenegrins to Prince Danilo, and is as follows : " Great Conqueror, Prince of the valiant Montene grins,—ln the name of the Lord Almighty and of St. Peter, and in honour of my prince and well beloved brother, I disposed my troops on Ascension-day, 13th May, before the sunrise, for a general assault on the Turkish entrenchments. Immediately the columns Of attack were formed I opened fire in the valley, where we massed the guards of your highness to cut off the re treat of the Turks. At the same moment our faithful and brave falowns (an epithet the Montenegrins apply to themselves) raised their handjars, crying with an un speakable enthusiasm, Long live Prince Danilo I saw there, my prince, prodigies of valour, of heroism, and love of liberty. "The advanced guard of the left wing rushed straight upon the enemy's entrenchments and carried them, whilst the troops of the right wing pressed the fugitive• at the point of the sword. It is impossible for me at thi4 moment, my prince and brother, to give you a de tailed recital. Thanks be rendered to God, the All powerful I our blows fell on the masses of the enemy a° though we had been chopping sticks. " Of the 13,000 men of which the Turkish army we° cemposed, scarcely 200 or 300 have been able to escape to bear witness how the Montenegrins know to fight for their country. Your soldiers have felled 7,000 Turkish heads, taken ei2bt pieces of artillery, 1,200 caparisoned horses, and 300 field-tents. At present it is not pas" Bible to enumerate the arms captured, nor all the rich booty which we have just aoquired. " The field of battle has the aspect of a felled forest, and the mutilated corpses of the Turks is a sight of horror. " It is here, my lord, that the Montenegrins have 10 part avenged the defeat on the plain of kosmovo (Jun e 15, 1389) ; it is here that they have avenged the m einorf of the hero Miloscb, in thinking of their prince. Thel rushed onwards, one over the body of the other, brarivir death to distinguish themselves in thine eyes. In thie assault we had 47 killed and about 60 wounded. "On the side of the Turks two pachas were killed ; the head of one was taken by the heroic Captain Die Djukanov de Cuca, and the other fell by the sword of the standard-bearer of your highness's guard. In the combat, body to body, officers were undistinguishab le from the common soldiers ; all conducted themselves he true heroes. " Honour to them all before God and before you, 113 Y prince. When we shall have rendered the last honour . to the dead, given attention to the wounded, and distri buted the booty, I will repair to your highness, &0., ic• (Signed) " MIRK°. " Grahovo, May 13." The Cologne Gazette says ; " Princo Danilo 1153 announced to the Governor of Del' matia, that in spite of contrary conventions, the Turk. pillaged Grahovo, and that he was under the necessil, of repelling them. O n th e o th er h an d , i t i s prove' by official reports, wh ose au th en ti c i ty i s un d ou bt e d, that it was the Montenegrins who broke the armistice coo' eluded by M. Delarue." Prince Danilo paid a ducat for each Turk's nos e that was brought to him. Up to the present tbel, have sent him 250 noses, as well as the sword 0 ' Senator Djuro, killed in the combat. The Ca li ; nonade during the battle was distinctly heard. i t Cattaro. Some of the wounded M on tenegro: have been received and taken care of in an A u triau fort. MR. CHARLES DICKENS'S READINGS' The readings of the " Carol," the " Chimes' and the " Cricket on the Hearth," by their author' are the most attractive entertainment of the dal; and on each occasion crowds of disappointed visitors —unable to obtain even standing room—are turn ed away. Oa Wednesday Mr. Dickens gave his li r A st morning reading of the " Carol," which was 13 i tt only most fully but moat fashion a bly a ttended. addition to the Christmas books, Mr. Dickens pur" poses, on the 10th of June, to give a reading eli n i titled " Little Dombey," which w ill co nsist L, those passages in Dombey a n d S on " w hi c h re la t e solely to the life of littl e P au l, an d w hich 01 ; Dickens has arranged for the purpose.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) Viscount, while the really consistent men, like JOHN ARTHUR ROERVOK, JOHN BRIGHT, and Sir A. H. ELTON, have decided, and will decide on the real merits of the case, without reference to party feelings or undue motives. They at least would regard the premature return to office of the happy family as an evil of no ordinary character. But even that would not induce them to vote against their consciences, or in opposition to the real merits of the case. If the Government go wrong —if good measures are rejected, they will strive to bring them into a proper course. If perverse obstinacy, or contu melious insolence, such as they were long accustomed to, were attempted, they would speedily vindicate their own cause ; but so long as Minis ters pursue a straightforward and honourable course, beneficial to the nation in its foreign and domestic relations, they have nothing to fear from the really independent Liberals. Sir A. H. ELTON clearly explained the policy of the true Liberals, at the meeting of his con stituents on Wednesday evening ; and that policy was endorsed and approved of by men of all shades and varieties of political opinion. He could not join in the onslaught against the celebrated despatch—which, if even indiscreet, was certainly "honest ;" and any fault, if fault there were, was more than atoned and expiated by the resig• nation of its author—a resignation deeply re• gretted by every true-hearted Englishman, and one which we would gladly see recalled, and "the right man restored to the right place." The earnest pretest of Sir JAMES OUTRAM against the " confiscation policy" was identical in sentiment, if not in language, with that of Lord ELLENBOAOUGH. It was con clusive on the question at issue ; and even those who had improvidently promised the Palmer stonian whipper-in, shrunk from the redemption of their ill-advised pledges. Had there been a divi sion, there would have been a large majority on the side of the Government, and many absentees, who, like Mr. DUNCOMBE, would have taken up their hats and made their respective conges. The feeling of the House, so plaiuly and unequivocally displayed, however prevailed, and the ignominious withdrawal of the motion—so humiliating to the conspirators and damaging to their cause—was the result. We do not believe that there will be any other factious attempt this session, although the modern Pharisee, who " thanks GOD that he is net as other men," is reported to have exclaimed, in an ebullition of pious wrath, " that Ministers should not long retain their places." More sagacious men will, however, see the danger of a second abortive effort, and therefore we may hope that the remainder of the session will be devoted to the pressing business of the country, and that another week may not be wasted iu a " faction fight," occasioned by the ex-Premier trailing his skirts through the house, and challenging any one to tread on them. PRINCE ALBERT'S DEPARTURE FOR OSTEND. poßTsmoura, THURSDAY EVENING. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal family steamed up from Osborne to Portsmouth this evening, and entered the harbour at ball-past five, under the usual salutes and ceremonies, naval and military. The Fairy ranged off the dockyard, where the Prince alighted, and where the naval Commander• in-Chief and the dockyard staff and guard of honour were in attend ance. The Prince entered Sir George Seymour's car riage, attended by Col. Poasonby and one other officer, and was driven to the Landport station of the London and South-Western, and London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, where a special train had been prepared by Mr. Alfred Mountain, the joint superintendent, to convey the Prince Consort to Dover, via Hastings and Ashford, on the South-Coast and South-Eastern lines. This train, in charge of Mr. Craven and Mr. Hawkins, officers of the Brighton Company, left the terminus for its destination at four minutes past six. The Ri)yal yacht Fairy returned to Osborne immedi ately on the departure of the Prince from the dockyard. The salutes, &c., were repeated. DOVER, THURSDAY NIGHT:.!3 His Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived at Dover at 9.24 p.m., per special trai❑ of the South- Eastern Railway, and embarked on board the Admiralty yacht Vivid, Commander Allen, which was lying in the harbour with her steam up ready for immediate depar ture for Ostend. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Colonel Ponsonby, and attended by Mr. S. Teulon, one of the Directors of the South• Eastern Railway Company. A large concourse of.persons had assembled at the railway station, and upon his Royal Highness alighting from the State carriage every mark of respect and loyalty was evinced. The Prince Consort was received by hie Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., Colonel of the Royal West Sussex Infantry Militia ; Major-General Cran ford the Commandant of the Garrison, who was attended by his aides-de-camp, Major Bernard and Major Doyley ; the Hon. Captain Gage, of the Sussex Militia ; Captain Seymour, R.N. ; and the Admiralty Superintendent of the port, Captain Melllwaine, R.N. On alighting froal the railway carriage his Royal highness shook hands with the Duke of Richmond, Major-General Craufurd, and Captain Seymour, and returning the salutations of the crowd, among which there was a large number of ladies, at once stepped into a post-carriage, which had been prepared by Mr. Birmingham, of the Lord Warden Hotel, and which was then driven direct to the quay, at which the Vivid was lying. In a few minutes the steamer was on her way to Ostend, where it was ex pected she would arrive about half-past 2, there being every prospect of a favourable change. The whole of the arrangements for the reception of the Prince Consort at the railway station were under the direction of Mr. E. J. Way, the Railway Superintendent. Tne destination of the Prince Consort is stated to be Cubourg, and, ultimately, Berlin, where his Royal Highness Rill pay a visit to the Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia.
