Tranquillity reigns throughout the frontier, and the States beyond. The Cape Parliament was prorogued on July 8, after sitting 144 days. Governor Grey had laid the foundation stone of a patent slip in Simon's Bay. Her Majesty's ship Boscaw en, Admiral Sir F. Grey, was daily expected at the Cape, from the West Coast. The Hermes was in Simon's Bay. The Lyra cruising in the Mozambique. The Perseverance had left for England. The immigration scheme is to be continued in the same manner as heretofore. Two vessels had arrived with immigrants during the month, viz., the Bride, at Table Bay, and the Shah Jehan, at Algoa Bay. The cutter Rosebud had been lost at Lambert's Bay, and the brig Osmond at Breede River. A large number of vessels had taken refuge in Algoa Bay during the month, to repair damages sustained at sea; among them the barque Medium, from Galle; for Liverpool ; the ship Covenanter, from Bombay, for Liverpool ; barque George Avery, from Koringa Bay, for London ; American, from London, for Bombay. The Swedish barque Elizabeth put in on the 22d of June to land captain and crew of ship Wolfe, from Kooria Mooria to London, which was abandoned at sea in lat. 34 57, long. 27 22 E., and shortly afterwards went down. The mail steamer Celt, from Plymouth, arrived in Table Bay July 15. Her Majesty's ships Tortoise, Trident, and Biper, and merchant ships Eleanor, Envelope, and City of Lincoln, were at Ascension. The Trident is coming home as soon as the ship's company have got rid of the fever; she has lost about 43 hands with the fever. TILE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. The Indus arrived yesterday at Southampton with the heavy portion of the Calcutta and China mails, the whole of which were sorted on board. The Indus left Alexaildria August 18 ; Malta, 22 ; and Gibraltar, 26. She brought home 80 passengers ; amongst her cargo were 1,472 bales of silk, and a package of specie, value not named. Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Conqueror, Ex mouth, Euryalus, Princess Royal, Renown, and Banshee, were at Malta. The rest of the Mediter ranean fleet were met going into port from a cruise. The Vulture and Quail were at Gibraltar. As the Indus was passing Tarifa, a fortified Spanish seaport town in the straits of Gibraltar, on the 27th of August, at about 9.30 a.m., a gun was fired from the fort ; no notice was taken of this, when a second was fired, and a large round shot came bounding along the water and sank within about fifty yards of the ship. Had this shot been fired with one or two degrees more elevation, it could not have failed to fall on board, and nothing but its having struck the water several times pre vented it from striking the hull of the Indus right amidships, as it was. The passengers were all looking over the side at the town at the time. The Indus was about two miles off the town, the British ensign was flying at the peak ; the weather was beautiful, and the sea remarkably smooth. News had reached Gibraltar from Ceuta that hostilities had broken out between the Moors and the Spaniards of that fortress. On the 24th, about noon, 400 Moors appeared on the plains before the fortifications, and began firing on the Spanish outposts. They killed a sentry and wounded two others. The troops in garrison, immediately on the receipt of this information, were ,narched out to meet the Moors, when a heavy firing ensued be tween the belligerent parties. The guns on the ramparts also took p.art in the contest. The Moors, who were several times driven back, renewed the charge. Five Moors were reported to have been killed. The firing continued at the time the vessel which brought over the intelligence left the Bay of Ceuta, on the 24th ult. About 5 p.m. on the 24th some irregular firing, with heavy guns, was heard in the direction of Ceuta, from the Upper Signal Station at Gibraltar, and again at 10 o'clock the following m orning. News reached Gibraltar on the 26th that the Moors had lost about 50 men. Troops were sent by the Commandant -General o f the neighbouring district to reinforce the ga rrison of Ceuta. The master of a falucho reports the following occurrence :—" While off Ap es ' fill with his falucho, on the 25 th, in company with 16 bar quillas, or open boats, engaged in the coral fishery, upwards of 7,000 Bedouins were observed going in the direction of Ceuta, and, after ascending the hill, commenced firing upon them. The master of the above falucho as well as the men in , the other boats were obliged to cut their n ets and move as quickly as possible out of range of the bullets which were falling thickly around them. Great firing could be distinctly heard in the direction of Ceuta. The wind being favourable, the other sixteen boats made sail for Tangier. THE BRAZIL MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING. The screw steamer Tasmania, Capt. Jellico, has arrived with the Brazil and River Plate mails, in charge of Lieut. R. La Touche, R.N. Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, July 28th ; Montevideo, 30th ; Rio de Janeiro, August 9th ; Bahi o ,l2th ; Pernam buco, 14th ; St. Vincent, 21st ; and Lisbon, 29th. She landed 58 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 98 here. On freight she has 27,380 dols. in specie, diamonds value £13,200, and a large cargo, includ ing 225 rolls of tobacco and 200 barrels of tapioca. Her Maresty's ships Buzzard, Oberon, and Spy were at Montevideo, and the Madagascar at Rio. The Leopard, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, left Pernambuco for Rio on the 14th ult. Her Majesty's transport ship Perseverance, from the Cape of Good Hope, sailed from St. Vincent for England on the 21st. The Oneida put into Monte Video for coals on July 31, 42 days out from Syd ney for England. On Aug. 20, in iat. 14 N., long. 26 W., the Tasmania spoke the Chilian ship San cianissa and the English ship Confidence, steering south ; 23d, lat. 20 20 N., long. 22 W., passed her Majesty's ship Perseverance, steering N.E. The war in the River Plate continues, but no advance had been made by General Urquiza and his troops. The rains of September will, how ever, enable him to move across the plains, and a decisive action may . then be looked for. Mr. Eyansi, the American Charge d'Affaires at Parana, has visited Buenos Ayres to offer his mediation, which has been favourably re ceived there. It was not known whether his offer was made officially or not. This state of political uncertainty exercised a most depressing effect on all commercial affairs, and lusiness was at an entire standstill. Exchange on England 655. 6d. to 665.; France 81f. to 824.; Genoa, 81. From Rio we learn the Bill to compel the banks to pay their notes in gold after three years from the present date had passed the third reading. There was a strong opposition to the measure out of doors, and it was hoped that the Senate would throw it out. The prospects of the measure be coming law had already led to a severe financial crisis in all the chief cities of the empire. Freights to England and the Channel 255. to 30s. ; the Mediterranean, 255. to 355. ; Antwerp and Hamburg, 255. Exchange opened at 24, and after touching 24 4 4 finally closed at 242. No political news from Bahia. Business in ex ports almost suspended, owing to scarcity of pro duce. The new sugar crop, which was beginning to arrive, was expected to prove fully an average. Prices at present nominal. The city very healthy, and weather fiae and dry. The works of the Bahia Railway, which hadbeen retarded by the heavy rains of the last three months, were being pushed forward vigorously, and no doubt was entertained that the first section will be completed next year. Pernambuco was free from fever. Her Majesty's ship Harier, Commander Sir Stephen M'Gregor, passed Pernambuco on the 20th lof July for Portsmouth. The India Council, not having immediate employ ment for the amount paid the day before yesterday on the new loan, are desirous of lending it for a month on the Stock Exchange. About £lOO,OOO is - said to have been thus lent to-day at 2 per cent. THE CONVICT SMETHURST. Sir G. C. Lewis, the Home Secretary, was en gaged this afternoon with several gentlemen, who have interested themselves in the case of Dr. Smethurst, but up to the hour of going to press the fate of the convict remained doubtful. A memorial, signed by twenty-nine practising barristers, in favour of commuting the sentence, in Dr Smethurst's case, was presented, at the Home office, this morning, by Mr. Tindal Atkinson, of the Middle Temple. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. THE LAW OP PARTNERSHIP.-POLLOCK V. SCHRCEDER. This was an action to recover a sum of money from de fendant, who is in partnership with his brother. An agent appeared and inquired for which of the two the sum mons was intended. His Honour refused to hear the agent, and said it was evident that defendant did not appear. Plaintiff—Then I want a nonsuit. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, that's a very queer thing for a plaintiff to require. Plaintiff—No. I want it for him (defendant). After some inquiry, his Honour ascertained that plaintiff was the partner in England of an extensive foreign house. His Honour—l think you must have what you asked for, Mr. Pollock. You must sue in the name of all your partners. Plaintiff—l cannot bring my partners such a distance to recover this small amount. His Honour—No ; but you must put them all in the plaint note. Plaintiff—Then I can sue defendant for my share, I sup pose ? (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, no. Don't you see that defendant owes you nothing individually. If he owes anything it is to yourself and company. You have got what you want and must be nonsuited. CONTRIBVTING TO HIS OWN WRONG-LIMES V. THOMSON. This was an action to recover 30s. damage sustained in consequence of a cart being overloaded, as alleged, by de fendant. Plaintiff said that defendant hired his cart and baying put on too much of a load, the shafts gave way. Defendant denied that he had anything to do with it. Plaintiff—Why I saw him put the load on and knew at the time it was too much His Honour—What a great noodle you must have been then. (Laughter.) Come, you have said too much, and defendant must have a verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON CAPTAIN FRANCIS PEEL BY A BEGGAR. —Catherine Wright, described as a fruit vendor, was charged with an assault on Captain Francis Peel, of the 34th Regiment, 4, Leinster-gardens, Hyde-park. Captain Francis Peel said he was passing down St. James's-street shortly after 12 overnight with his brother, when the prisoner came up and importuned him for relief, but he told her he believed her to be an impostor, but offered her a mendicity ticket, when she immediately commenced an attack upon him, and he gave her into custody. Atkinson, 74 C, said he saw the prisoner following Capt. Peel, and on coming up with him she pulled his coat. Being on the other side of the street, he went across and asked what she wanted, when she immediately seized the captain's coat with her teeth, and hung to it " like a leech," and so determined was she that it was only with the assist ance of anofher constable that he managed to get her away and to the station-house. Police-constable 45 C proved assisting in taking the pri soner into custody, and while doing so she became very violent and struck him several times—twice in the face. She had once been before Mr. Beadon and sent to prison for a month. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said she had once been before Mr. Hardwick. The prisoner's defence was, that she was inquiring the way of the gentleman to Westminster-bridge, as she was "going a hopping" when he struck her. _ ... __ ... Captain Peel said he did certainly strike her with a thin stick, but it was only to make her release her hold. Mr. Bingham said he considered a person had a right to use force in releasing himself from an unfortunate woman like the prisoner in the middle of the night, probably being apprehensive that his pocket was about to be picked. She was a powerful old beggar, and he should send her for 14 days. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY AT A REGATTA.—John Anderson, a morose-looking fellow, aged IE, described as a ballast heaver, dwelling at Rickett's Coffee. house, Church-lane, Whitechapel, but who was never engaged in ballast-work in his life, was brought up on remand charged with having, in conjunction with three others, stolen a silver watch, value £..5, from the person of Mr. George Jeffrey, shipping agent, of 100, Church-street, Bermondsey. On the 25th ult., there was a rowing match off the Tower, and about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Jeffrey proceeded towards the Tower-stairs for the purpose of crossing the river in a boat. The prisoner and three others were standing in front of the Tower-stairs, looking at the regatta, and Mr. Jeffrey requested them to stand on one side and allow him to pass. They very politely separated and made way for him, and directly after wards one of them made a snatch at his watch, broke the ring, and dragged the watch away. Mr. Jeffrey turned and attempted to seize the thief, but was prevented by the pri soner, who got before him, while the other three were running away. Mr. Jeffrey then seized the prisoner by the coat, a struggle took place, and in the course of that struggle the buttons of the prisoner's coat came off, when he made a desperate rush and got away. He was pursued by Mr. Jeffrey and a gentleman connected with the London Dock Company, who stopped him in Barking Church yard, Tower-street. Mr. Jeffrey said to the prisoner, " You have stolen my watch," to which the prisoner re • plied, " No, I have not," and was given into the custody of a police-constable named Nicholson, of the City force. He then became very quiet. Mr. Yardley inquired if the prisoner had been convicted before. No one could give any information on that point, but several officers said they had often seen the prisoner in company with notorious thieves and other loose characters. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Yardley sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up to-day; but there were several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. The attendance of millers was limited, and the demand ruled heavy, but without leading to any quotable change in price. In foreign wheat—the supply of which was good—very little business was transacted, and inferior samples were rather lower to purchase. _ _ Barley moved off slowly, but no alteration took place in the quotations. Good and fine malt was in fair request, at full quotations ; but inferior parcels were dull. The oat trade was in a sluggish state ; but no further decline took Ono° in tho onrronoioc. Beans and peas realised previous rates ; but the demand for them was inactive. In flour very little was doing, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour. English 2,440 [ 60 1 820 , 320 i 710 Irish Foreign 2,550 , 3,830 1 21,320 / 150 sks I I bls NEIVGATE AND LEADENHALL. The supplies of meat hero to-day are moderate, and the trade generally rules steady, at very full prices : BOROUGH HOP. Thore are several pockets of new hops on show, at prices varying from 80s to 120 s per cwt. In yearlings, very little is doing, and the quotations have a drooping tendency. The duty is still freely backed at £260,000. COLONIAL. TEA..—The market has shown less firmness, and to effect sales to any extent lower prices must be accepted. SUGAR. —Very little activity has prevailed, and prices of all descriptions are a shade lower. In the refined market the trade have bought to a moderate extent, at rather re duced rates. COFFEE.—There has been a very limited inquiry for plan tation Ceylon, and prices have declined about ls. per cwt. ; other descriptions have also shown a downward tendency. RICE.—No change of importance has been apparent in the value of Bengal or other descriptions. SALTPETRE. —T here has been rather more inquiry for the better qualities of Bengal, and quotations have remained firm. TALLOW.—The market has shown more activity, and prices are firmer. P.Y.C., on the spot, 508 to 50s 6d, and last three months, 57s per cwt. MEXICAN STOCK.—The improvement in Mexican Stock yesterday is consequent upon the general tone of the advices by the last mail. It appears that the Juarez or Constitutional Government at Vera Cruz have issued a manifesto decreeing religious toleration, the liberty of the press, trial by jury, public education, a considerable reduc tion of the tariff, and the abolition of internal Customs. Under ordinary circumstances these resolutions, in such a country, might be regarded as an idle flourish, but as they are issued by a Government which is now formally recog nised by the United States they are not likely to be allowed to drop. On the other hand, the Miramon Government at Mexico had announced an intended issue of 80,000,000 of paper dollars which would probably not be taken at more than 3or 4 per cent. of their nominal value. One object of their issue probably is to cause a large proportion of the population of the city to become holders, and thus to give them a new interest in supporting the ecclesiastical party. 102 16 11 101 4 601 984 9 99 81 1091 101 94i 921 3 106 1 41 Us 61 !j ft 1 89i UN 89i d 45 721 i '4 5 U i - gc:,; bec A Scrip FOREIGN Antwerp & Rotterdam Ardennes Bah. & S.

The total expenditure for the army and militia in the year ended the 31st March, 1858, amounted to £13,217,615, leaving a balance of votes unap propriated to the amount of £225,619. The wages supply services, and works figure for £4,250,055. The items of the effective and non-effective ser vices we subjoin as follows, viz. :—Effective.—Land forces, pay and allowances, £3,893,631 ; ditto, mis cellaneous charges, £935,381 ; volunteer corps £44,642; Department of Sectary of State for War and the General Commanding in Chief, £193,415; manufacturing establishments, store keepers, barrack masters, &c., £411,345 ; educa tional and scientific branches, £208,667.

Full (explanatory) details of these charges are given in a return just issued, on the motion of Mr. Laing, M.P. SURREY GARDENS. A very full attendance rewarded yesterday even ing the more than usually attractive bill of fare which Mr. Corbyn, the manager of this popular place of amusement, had prepared for the entertainment of his friends and the public generally who patro nised his benefit. There were no less than three concerts—one at half-past seven, supported by the regular musical staff of the establishment, together with the Lambeth Choral Society ; one at half-past nine, consisting entirely of comic singing ; and finally, one at ten, performed entirely by the well known Christy's Minstrels. Lest this abundance of harmony should not be sufficient for the amuse ment of the numerous company, M. Buono Core, the Cremorne Salamander, obligingly passed through " the flames of a blazing volcano," and the al fresco amusements were carried on with more than their usual vivacity. Altogether the evening's amusement at these gardens must be pronounced to be a perfectly miraculous shilling's worth, and well worthy the nightly increasing patronage which they receive from the public. Everything is conducted with the strictest order and decorum, and as much of this is due to the vigilant superin tendence and polite attention of Mr. Corbyn, we were glad to see his exertions so warmly recog nised by the patrons of the establishment. Musical amateurs would do well to pay the Surrey Gardens a visit to hear the effecdve instrumental music as delivered by one of the best bands ever collected in London, and conducted by Herr Schallern in a manner fully to sustain the high reputation he had already obtained at the Crystal Palace concerts.

Curry, Kelloch, and Co., for the very low sum of £5,400. She is in a very sound condition. THE WRECK OF THE ALMA.—A correspondent, under date August the 9th, informs us that the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Bengal, on her way from Suez to Aden, called at the wreck of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Alma on August Bth, and was hailed with great joy by the parties in charge, no vessel having called there for a fortnight, and their stock of provisions having nearly run out. As the Bengal was leaving, the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Nubia, from Calcutta and Point do Gallo, for Suez, was making for the wreck. The Alma is described as lying on her bilge, in two pieces,. showing her keel, and on the first breeze she must go to pieces. The Bengal took on board four divers, sent from her Majesty's dockyard at Malta, their services being no longer available in saving cargo, &c.—China Telegraph. RAISING OF THE WRECK OF THE BRIDE STEAMER. —Yesterday morning a number of barges wore moored round the wrecks of Messrs. Joyce's barge and the Bride steam-boat, which sunk the previous day off the second Middlesex arch of London Bridge. By means of hawsers and chains the men engaged in the operation suc ceeded in removing the barge from under the stern posts of the Bride ; that being done they succeedeed in gradually raising the vessel. The state of the tide prevented the com pletion of their operations, which were to be resumed atthe drop of ebb tide. The Bride is not so much injured but that she can be repaired, and resume her position again amongst the company's fleet. THE METROPOLIS MAIN DRAlNAGE.—Prepara tions are being made for constructing the outfall sewer i n connec tion with the main drainage of the metrop o li s, as well as the necessary reservoir, pumping engines, &c., at Cross ness, opposite Dagenham Reach.

The reservoir and pumping sta tion, with the necessary engines and machinery, will be constructed and erected on land in the occupation of Mr. T. Flint. The ground required will be 17a. 2r. 33p., which the Metropolitan Board of Works under the Act intend to purchase of Sir R. Tufton, the owner.
