The Palmerstonians have, even at the eleventh hour, dis• covered that their ardent cravings for <Ake must be shelved for a more convenient c 'PPortnnity. Their most rampant advocates cannot perceive any opening for another onslaught, and therefore it may reasonably be anticipated that no new disturbance will be oriiiinated, and that even the "veteran Viscount" and " the 5 ,.„ 3 11 Johnny" will acquiBßc© in their inevitabl, exilmion from placa and power during the faei reata i,j ug weeks of the cur rent session. Tile most important question will be brought forward this everting . . The consideration of resolutions relating to the future Government of India, on which the future welfare, happiness; an d prosperity of at least 150,000,000 of our fellow. subjects so greatly depend, will be resumed. We earnestly desire that it may be in a proper spirit, without reference to party objects, and that the uture of India may not be made the shuttlecock to be cast to and fro between contending battle dores. Our next impression will probably show whether we may anticipate a result so greatly to be desired by every unprejudiced and disinterested person. _ _ The chief topic of the evening will be Mr GLADSTONE'S amendment. The Right Honour able Gentleman wishes to prolong, if he cannot perpetuate, the existence of the moribund com pany. He will be contented if he can extend their existence for another year, although he will be still better pleased if he can secure a still longer enjoyment under a different designation. " The rose by any other name will smell as sweet." And the Board of Directors would now be quite satisfied if they could, by a touch of the enchanter's wand, be transmuted into the " Council of India," and retain the patronage to which they fancy that they are entitled, and the deprivation whereof they affect to regard as an act of confis cation. Mr. GLADSTONE proposes " That re gard being had to the position of affairs in India, it is expedient to constitute the Court of Directors of the East India Company, by an act of the present session, to be a council for ad ministering the government of India, in the name of her MAJESTY, under the superintendence of such responsible Minister, until the end of the next ses sion of Parliament." In the event of the adoption of the foregoing resolution, to move, thereafter : "And that in the said administration the Court of Directors, so constituted to be a council, be subject to all the powers at present vested by law its the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India ; and furthermore, that the President of the said Commissioners be empowered to preside, when and so often as he shall think fit, ever the Court of Directors in lieu of the Chairman thereof, and to assume and exercise any of the powers now ordinarily exercised by such Chair man." Now we are by no means favourably disposed to wards the magnates of Leadenhall street, and should not willingly protract their exist ence by a single hour. It was the policy of "confiscation" which they origi nated that mainly led to the mutiny and rebel lion in Hindostan, that caused all the terrible expenditure of Mood and treasure so greatly to be deplored. The evils, however, arose from the system rather than the parties. We have no complaint against the individuals. They are, and we say it in perfect good faith, —" All honourable men—men whose words would be accepted in any private transaction, and against whose honour and integrity not a word could be uttered. The great evil is the double Government, and the innumerable delays and want of energy inseparable therefrom. We want an independent council, and we should not have the slightest objection if the members of coun cil were selected from the present board. But they are, to a certain extent, fettered by traditions of Leadenhall•street, and cannot quite extricate themselves from red tapist bonds. It would, therefore, be de3irable that the change of Government should be effected as speedily as possible, and a permanent Board established, which cannot be that of the gentlemen now dominant in Leadenhall-street. But, con sidering the late period of the session, and the prevailing differences of opinion, it - may be impos sible for any Administration, however powerful, to obtain the legislative sanction to a final measure before the Prorogation. It may be essential to enter into a compromise, and the great point is to decide what are 1 -net terms that can be olNteined for I .Britain. 'Yu ,Aa to belies _ that Lord STANLEY, who was re-elected in the most flattering manner on Saturday, will make a general statement re specting the Ministerial intentions this evening. He has spared no pains to qualify himself for the duty. Although the heir to what, up to last week was the Premier Earldom of Eng land, and to a fortune fully -competent to main tain with dignity that high position, he early discovered the important truth that there was no Royal road to Statesmanship. He determined to see and judge for himself, and to endure all the inconvenience, danger, and annoyance of an Indian tour, in order tr., enable him to arrive at a correct decision. He ascertained the facts in the most laborious man ner, and he has the judgment and ability to turn these facts to the best account. We shall await the expected statement this evening, with curiosity, not anxiety, for we are convinced that it will fully maintain the well-established reputa tion of the new President of the India Board. The Electors of Lynn very considerately wished to save Lord STANLEY'S time. The present absurd state of the law requires a member of the Cabinet, who merely changes one office in it for another, to vacate his seat. As Lord STANLEY had been before his constituents, therefore, so very recently, many of the electors signed a me morial requesting him, at the present moment, not to inconvenience himself by coming down to Lynn, as there was 110 doubt of his return. T., this address, Lord STANLEY replied, accepting " with some regret the indulgence so consi derately offered." There was no need for his Lordship to enter at length into his political views, wellkn own as they are,and so recently stated; those, however, on which ho laid stress in se brief a letter are, therefore, obviously, those in which he feels the deepest interest. The last sentence shows that we were not mistaken in what we wrote of him last Friday J we have always divided our leading men into those who can, and those who cannot trust the people—Lord STANLEY dis tinctly ranks himself with the former class—no institutions —he says, can in our arils be stable un less they rest on the freely-given support of a c)n tented because a trusted people."—On the very day on which we characterised him as one of this class, words he, quit e un k nown to tie, was writing these to his constituents. Amongst other matters, too, while both Whigs and old-school Tories are quarrellinc , with the countryon so manysemi.ecclesiastical q;estionq, we no ti c e, with pleasure, the remark,,,] Ri ll the utmost, by impartial justice tewardsaii sects,resist to and undue deference to none, the disorganisi ng influ ences of sectarian rivalry, influences which, , wher ever they have largely prevailed, have been fatal alike to the greatness of an empire and to tilt. happiness of a community." We hope, too, that another sentence is ar, indication that his Lordship strong l y dk a r , proves of the way in which the Government de partments have cheated the nation in regard to really public comptitive ex ',initiations. " I wish," he says, "to see the public serum , open to talent in all ranks, and the advantagis 0! instruction extmded as widely as possible.' When his Lordship thus couples extension 01 education with opening the public service -t4 talent-he must mean that he wishes the servic.. to be used as a stimulus to intellectual industry. We beg to refer the Right Hon. BENJAMIN DIS RAICLI to the Economist, vol. XVI., No. 771, Satur day, June 6, A.D., 1858. We are careful in ow reference, since we would not, for the world, have /I LE _ SUN , LONDON, MON DAY EVENING,- JITN-E 7, 1858. him miss seeing the right article. He will find it and it is headed " THE BALLOT NO oPnARPTagoe 619 , rTRu z LIBERALISM." We beg the Hos. Member to read it most attentively, and we would beg him to believe it, at least till after Tues- I day, to be irrefutable. If, however, he be too busy to read a column of economical print, and [aside this] we almost wish he may be—we will give him the cream of, the sentences we wish him to believe—here they are : No. 1. " With Toryism it would amalgamate well, we should expect to see the Ballot if it were ever carried, oneof the strongest supports of a Tory Government!" No. 2. " The Tory has generally maintained his absolute and irresponsible right to use his political influence as he pleases, without any answerability (A new word for you, Mr. DISRAELI) to the public at large." No. 3. 44 Who can doubt that the triumph of the principle of secret voting would really be the triumph of Toryism—the triumph of the influence of health and rank and patronage, over that desire for public esteem, which still influences so powerfully and so beneficially the minds of electors." No. 4. "We are convinced that the Ballot, if really efficient, might soon become a most powerful instrument in the hands of the Tory 'party ; we are sure that it would utterly paralyse the hands of all true Liberals." There—that is enough. Read those four extracts, Mr. DlSRAELl—confide in an Editor who was once, to the best of our knowledge and belief, a Radical—but who is now become a devoted adherent of Lord PALMERSTON—and don't be restive at the mention of PALMERSTON— the Record, who a year ago recorded that he was the " Man of Gon," a week or two back recorded that " Lord PALMERSTON was as good a Tory at heart as Lord DERBY." Confide, there fore, in Mr. Edit n- of the Economist, and take• these sentences to Lord DERBY, and get him to agree forthwith that you and all your party shall support Mr. BERKELEY on Tuesday night. You never had such as opportunity before, and may not soon have it again. You may ruin PALMER ( ETON and Russerz for ever. They may sit on the Opposition Benches till they wear the seats through, but never will they turn you out if you make every elector a downright Tory by giving him the ballot. You must see, sir, that the ballot will do it ; for it will enable him—to shorten ex- Secretary Weesom's long sentences—it will enable him "to do what he will with his own." From the enactment of the ballot, therefore, every voter will be a real practical Tory, and of course he will vote for Tories only, Q.E.D. We are sure you— Mr. DISRAELI and Lord DERBY—are convinced. We have asked your votes for the ballot before, because come it must, and you might as well carry it and get the credit of it as any one else. But, thanks to Mr. WILSON lately—that is, since he left vulgar Radicalism, enjoying 2,5001. at the Trea sury, and now, we believe, by virtue of a few days over six years' service, enjoying a pension— thanks to him, you are now sure, mathematically sure, of making by the ballot a whole nation of Tories ! If you fail to vote for the ballot, there fore, to-morrow, we shall hold you for political suicides. Now, here you must stop—your time is precious —and the rest of our remarks are merely a little special pleading with the hoodwinked Radicals, to persuade them, nevertheless, to lend you their aid in making Tories of the people. We now, therefore, speak to all good Radicals, and to all good Liberals, too, who dislike the name Radical—for, in truth, it does not befit the Brahmin caste—but yet are sound at heart, and such Liberals there are ; we want a word with thee A n d first, we would cheer them up, they mace heard our conversation with Mr. DISRAELI, and, above all, should they have read the solemn prosy of our Economical Contemporary. We may assure them, if they need assuring, that it is all solemn—bosh—that is all. What it means leaks out in the second sentence—or shall we call it the first sentence— since only a short statement precedes—one we believe to be as true as any of the prophecies in the House of Commons' journals—" that Mr. BERKELEY is to bring forward his motion for the Ballot on Tuesday night." Well, whether we call that the first sentence or not, we like it well --the next is at least the first sentence of bosh, or introductory to bosh, for there is some truth in it ; this is it —" We see that many of our Liberal contemporaries aro raising a cry that ad hesien to the principle of the Ballot should be made a sine qua non for any Ministry honoured with the confidence of the Liberal party." We wish the Economist were more economical of words. He might then have found time and room to say " Ministry which shall be honoured," for woefully does the editor rue the fact that no Ministry is just now honoured with that confidence. Well—we are sorry for it—but we must now ask our readers to strip—and to prepare for a plunge Pearls, especially anti-Ballot pearls, are not to be got in shallow water. Here, at the beginning, we are told that the antagonism of the Ballet to liberal principles is profound—(reader, profound antagonism—profound strugglings and wrestlings —are not ours ; it Is really as they say—sic or lest that cant expression should be unpleasantly , eisunderstood—sic in. origins ; and at the end, too, the editor is still in the deeps—dealing' with "evils which lie deeper than the great evils the Ballot is intended to remedy." Our readers will believe that the evils then are deep enough ; we tremble for the divers—but let us see. The first of these deep-sea antagonisms to libe ralism is this—That "the Ballot attempts to guard the elector's political freedom, at . the sacrifice of almost all the elector's politic tl influence." The mere vote is as nothing compared with the effect of " honestly declared convictions working through numberless social channels." Diop indeed yet we, that cannot yet dive so deep, can see no antagonism between " honestly declared convic tions" and a " secret vote." " We feel most profoundly," as he of the Economist says, that is, as profoundly as we shallow-water folks can do, that all the honest men can now honestly declare their convictions if doing so won't starve them—and vote honestly in addition. Nex, we " feel profoundly," also, that all the honest men who would lose their own bread, and their wife's bread, and their childreu's bread by "declaring their convictions" can abstain from doing it, and con' 1, with the ballot, give at least an honest vote. The Economist likes figures—we mean arithmetical figures—for to otherfigures he has a " profound antagonism" as he won' I say. It seems then to us to stand thus; under the ballot—Liberals have " the influence of "neatly & ehro 3 con victions,"p!us honest votes,plus :also tileirtho bon li p o s a t e c s o t n v v o ic t i e j s of those cnl9.un who dare derpublic not d!a votiug e t c he i; ;lave the infi teuee of honestly declared conviction=, plus in e u c t v l i i c e ti o v n a s t . e s o F f o r those hone st o v t o d t ahruettheir who dare life of us we cannot perceive h ow t h e i nfluence of L i l y man's convictions, if the m an h ad either cha racter lust eter u or ndr secretaregumentsto give w e i g h t to them, could be voting. Argument s cou ld not be affected by it. Character would need nothing but the assertion of intention to vote for this man or that. Indeed, it would not need so much, since character includes consistency. The deepest argument of all is, of course, that under the ballet we shall all be Tories, that we shall "do what we will with our own," that we shall regard the votes as our own, that we shall no longer give them patriotically, at the bidding that is of those Patriots—the landlord, the banker, the mortgagee, the customer, and the creditor, or at the bidding of the patriotic distributor of five-pound notes—these last patriots always wishing for a poll-book receipt for their votes. Well—and why should not we give them, as each man thinks they will be for his own good No can• didate can offer us, under the ballot, any personal advantage but what must reach us through public measures —measures, therefore, which will benefit the majority with us. What public measures will benefit me, and what public measures will benefit the nation must be generally, and if men are en lightened, always, identical questions. Now, electors are required to vote for the advantage of their masters or their purchasers, who of course are patriots. We must beg, however, to be excused from any further descent into the profundities of the Econo mist. We only fear that both Tories and Whigs of the RUSSELL and PALMERSTON school have a profound conviction, or an interest, or an intui tion, or something, that tells them to beware of the ballot—as they wish to keep office, place, and power for the aristocracy ; as they would enjoy jobbing and patronage unmolested ; and as they would perpetuate the monopolies of their order in Church and State. When the Economist has converted one staunch Whig or Tory to his own belief, we could almost pledge ourselves to adopt his faith. L A TEST NEWS. ......-__.-03,-...-_ TRIESTE, Ju 5.

The fine opera, " Barbiere di Siviglia," which ranks as prominently in the productions of Rossini as " Don Giovanni" does in the works of Mozart, was produced at this theatre last Saturday, for the first time this season, with a cast that was well calculated to win the applause and the admiration evoked. Mario's Airriaviva is unquestionably the finest on the opera stage ; and on this occasion he sang with even more than his accustomed excel lence, giving the exquisite music of the part with the flowing purity and careful finish which emi nently distinguish this artist. The beautiful air " EC3O ridente it cello" was most effectively and tenderly sang, and the duets with Ronconi were enthusiastically received. The Bartholo of Zelger, though earnestly studied and well sung could not dissipate the remembrance of the " rich and rare" vocal giant, Lablache, whose racy humour, magnificent voice and genuine cordiality not only with his part, but with his audience— have left a role in ,the " Doctor " which we must be content to see rendered rather as a shadowy sketch than as a full-toned picture. Madame Bosio is aspirited Bosina, and interpreted the music in a very charming and animated man ner, though her natural organ is somewhat too vivid and high in tone to be thoroughly suited to the part. The Figaro of Ronconi is most admi rable. His, humour, vivacity, and activity give great zest to the character, and constitute him one undertook th e par t o f of the best a n d mos t mercurial "Barber s " we h ave ever seen.

THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PLYMOUTH, MONDAY MORNING. The African Steam Navigation Company's packet Ethiope, Commander Croft, arrived at midnight. Her dates are :—Old Calabar, April 27th ; Came roolp, 28th ; Fernando Po, 29th ; Bonny, May sth ; Lagos, 7th ; Accra, 9th ; Cape Coast, 11th ; Liberia, 15th ; Sierra Leone, 19th ; Bathurst. 26th; Goree, 24th ; Teneriffe, 29th ; Made . ra, 31st. The Ethiope brings 3,0001. golddust, a general cargo, principally palm oil, and 29 passengers, in cluding his Excellency Governor Fino and Dr. Davies flora Cape Coast Castle, Captain Campbell s and Captain Hicklyn, R.N., from Sierra Leone, and Lieut. Dunn, from the Gambia. In consequence of informaticn received in Mon rovia, Commander Croft left in the Ethiope, on the 14th of April, and on the 15th fell in with the French ship Ccelißegina, 420 tons in the possession of a large number of negroes who were not able to manage her. After a parley, the second officer of the Ethiope, with part of the crew, went on board, when about 250 of the negroes swam to the shore, where nearly the whole were murdered by the captain of the French ship and natives. It ap pears that the Cceli Regina, which is completely fitted for the slave trade, had been cruising for a month near Cape Palmas, and, under pretence of taking them to a better place, had secured 500 negroes, who were immediately placed between decks, many of them in irons. When Captain Simon was ashore at Manna, cn the coast of Liberia, and part of the crew ia a boat alongside, the negroes procured firearms, and shot all but the doctor and two,of the seamen, whom they retained to steer the ship. Captain Simon came within gunshot several times afterwards, but was not al lowed to come on board. The Creli Regina was towed into Manrovia, where she was left in pos serion of Mackelvie. purser of the Ethiope. Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon was at Fernando Po disabled, and waiting orders for England. The Pluto left Bonny May 14th for Old Calabar. The Lark was at Liberia. The Childers and Spitfire were under orders to leave Sierra Leone for a cruise, and the Ardent for the leeward coast. The mail ship Armenian was at Madeira. The merchant ships Elizabeth, Emily Mossile, Mary Ann Beaufort, and Porto Nuvo were at Catneroon9. The PAramatta, Roderick Dhu, Abeona, Fanny Africa, Loodeauch Endraght, and Thornhill, were at Old Calabar. The Clangregor, Tapely, Charles Horsfall, Ellen Grant, Crown, Blondine, Osprey, America, and Mermaid were at Bonny. The brig Teunaul, with the British Consul, left 4th May for Old CalalAr. Tho Lip Abbott, with 15 various sail, were at Lagos. _ _ The brig Dromo, with three others, was at Accra ; and the ship Madras at Sierra Leone. RTTAL FREE HOSPITAL—The anniversary of this noble charity in Gray's-inn-lane is to be celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the proidency of Bail Powis, on Wednesday, the 9th. Before the founding of this charity on the principle of free and instant relief, withvut the delay and trouble of seeking a governor's letter by the destitute poor in times of illness, by Dr. M.arsden, hospital relief in London was bestowed only on those whose position and circumstances enabled them to get an introduction, bnt, thanks to his untiring energy this state of things has been altered. Over 45,000 deserving poor and industrious persons are an nually relieved at the Royal Free Hospital—a number far exceeding that applying to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital with an income over 40,000/. a-year. This simple tact will, we feel assured, be sufficient to ensure a very large attendance. REBUILDING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE.-011 Sa+llF day the removal of the seenery, properties, and ward robes from the old Adelphi Theatre commenced. The demolition of the old theatre will begin forthwith, also several houses o❑ the west side of Bull Inn-court, and north side of Maiden-lane, the ground they occupy being required for the new theatre, which is to be ready for opening by Christmaß. SIINDERLAND.—Mrs. Seymour, late of the Haymarket Theatre, has opened the Lyceum Theatre with a well orgaeised company, selected from the London theatres, for a few nights only. The pieces produced are mostly new to the Sunderland play-goers, and have given the greatest satisfaction. We must especially notice, amongst the company, Messrs. A. Stirling, Robertson, Shalders, and Hurlstone, as actors of no ordinary ability. Mies Burton is an actress who will doubtless hold a high position in her profession ere long. Mr. Flexmore and Mdlle. Auriol, with an English company of 35 artiste, selected from the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, and other London first-class theatres, have been playing with great success at Versailles, and were honoured by special command to play at the Royal Theatre, where their performance created quite a furore. Mr. Flexmore and Mdlle. Auriol were twice called before the curtain, the latter receiving a shower of bouquets. The company were to make their first appearance in Orleans on Thursday evening, with every prospect of a favourable result. MISS CUSHMAN AND HER SISTER IN AMERICA.--We find, by the American news just received, that MIEB Cushman and her sister, Mrs. Dr. Muspratt, bad the honour of a presentation at the President's levee, and were received by him with very marked attention. They received invitations to dinner from Lord and Lady Napier, Governor Seward, and other of the distinguished notabilities at Washington. Miss Cvehrnan, previous to her departure for England, at the end of June, acts a fortnight in New York. Her engagements every where have been marked with the greatest success.— Liverpool Daily Post. WILLIES Rooms.—Miss Chatterton, the talented daughter of the late eminent harpist, gave a concert at Willis's Rooms on Saturday evening last, which was at tended by a fashionable audience. The selection of music was excellent, the fair Lisiaciaire herself per forming first, with Miss Rosetta Vinning and Miss Freeth, a nocturne for three harps ; and subsequently a fantasia, harp ("Il Carnevale"), in a very brilliant and finished style, receiving the warmest demonstrations of applause. Madame RudGrsdorff was applauded in the ballad, "Du watching by the fire," as were Mr. and Madame Weiss in the duo, " Crudel Psrche." Finoli, charming as ever, who has hitherto nearly cm fined herself to the compositions of Rossini, of which it must be acknowledged she is an admirable exponent, and by which she has acquired a well-deserved popula rity, on this occasion left the beaten track, and sang most exquisitely the duo "Da quel di," from " Ernaoi," by Verdi, ably supported by Mr. Allan Irving. The rich full tone and powerfuly dramatic expression cf Mall. Finoli produced a great impression up in the audience, by whom she was very warmly applauded. She will equally successful in Mozart's " Vol the va pet(J" (Le Nozze di Figaro), which she gave with unex ceptionable purity and sweetness, and obtained the honour of a recall. The roneanza from "Otello" (Ros sini), "Assisa a pie d'un salice," in which Mdlle. Finoli was admirably accompanied on the harp by the fair bieliticiaire, was charmingly rendered, and received strong marks of approbation. The whole was well —con ducted by Signor Randegger and M. Francescoß the Berger. MARRIAGES IN GLASGOW.—Yeste rda y be in g Tuesday in June, the clergymen of all denominatio ns throughout the city had their hands full of business— age having reach e d a v the marrying and giving in ma culminating point after the fatal month of May had passed away. Carriages innumerable were to be seen driving with post haste along the streets, either to or from the minister's house, while ever and anon one , was in danger of being run over by barrow loads of furni ture destined to occupy a conspicuous place in the new domiciles. Great, however, as was the rush into matri mony yesterday, it is certain to be eclipsed by the number who have determined to wed on Friday, whose name will be legion, seeing that th e d ay i e more conve nient, admitting asit does of an after•following Satur day's holiday for a honeymoon.—Glasgotv Bulletin.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried 14 men, one in flight by default, for having formed a secret political society for the assassination of the Emperor and the overthrow of the Govern ment. It was proved and not denied by some of the accused that the society existed, and that its intention was to make an attempt to kill the Em peror, and create insurrection, in the esrly part of March ; also that it was in communication with re fugees in London, and received a delegate from them, and that it was likewise in communication with the conspiracy at Chalons-sur-Saone. It was further proved that the conspirators met in wine shops in the Rue du Petit.Carreau, the Rue de Charenton, and the Boulevard Contrescarpe, and in the gardens of the Palais Royal and Luxembourg. Lastly, it was shown that some of the men had attempted to make ful minating powder, and had bees appointed chiefs of particular districts in P ar i s to take part in the projected insurrection. One of the prisoners ad mitted that he had discussed with some of his fellow-conspirators the best plan of killing the Emperor, and that they had come to the conclusion that it would be to stop his Majesty's carriage when out driving, and then to at'ack him. The tribunal condemned three of the men, named Moulin, Aubrey, and Liasse, to eighteen months' imprisonment, and the first named to 500 fr. fine, and the last two to 300 fr. each ; one named Champin to fifteen mouths' imprisonment, and 200 fr. fine ; another, Bournichon, to thirteen months, and 200 fr. fine ; another, Marly, to six months, and 100 fr. fine ; three others to three months each, one to two months, and another to one month. All eleven were besides condemned to five years' interdiction of civil rights. The other three prisoners were acquitted. Moulin is a com mercial clerk. All the others are workmen.

To-day there has been a slight oncute of the stu dents, but it had no political character, and was immediately suppressed. The Gazette publishes a decree appropriating 5,000,000 reals to the repair of the public build ings in this city. MONTENEGRO. VIENNA, June 2.—Attention must be particu larly directed to what is passing ou the east coast of the Adriatic, for there are symptoms which lead to the belief that veryserious complications will arise out of the Montenegrin question. The French Go vernment is greatly exasperated against Turkey and Austria, and the sending of ships-of-the-line to the Adriatic is a demonstration against both Powers. Almost all the Austrian vessels of war are now in some port, where they are protected by land batteries, and the screw sloop Frederic, which was to have gone from Alexandria to Naples, has received orders to return home without delay. No trepidation is observable here, and there are no unusual armaments, but it is evident that the Aus trian Government is on its guard. The recruits raised in March were enrolled a fortnight ago, and are already being drilled. Everything connected With the army is kept as secret as possible, but still it is known to me that 600,000 men can be in the field in a month, and 750,000 in seven or eight weeks. The concentration of troops in Russian Po land - must be considered a kind of demonstration against Austria, but the latter remains passive, as she can, by means of the railroads, reinforce her army in Galicia in a very short time. That this Government does not even dream of an ac►ive in tervention in Montenegro need hardly be said. The .Nord has just bean deprived of the privi lege of being sold by the postal authcrities throughout the whole Austrian empire. The Im perial post-offices will no longer receive subscrip tions for the Nord. This is au indication, among man y others, of the nature of the rel a ti ons at pre sent subsisting between Austi ia and Russia. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 6. The royal mail steamship Persia has arrived with advices from New York to the 27th ult., having been detained till 5.15 p.m. ou that day in conse quence of the low state of the water on the Bar, caused by strong easterly gales. Previous to start ing an extra mail was put on board. She brought $390,410 specie on freight. The British outrages question continued to be the all absorbing theme in political circles, and the ex citement in reference to it is said to have startled our representative at Washington. The correspondent of the Neu , York Jerald says—. "It is understood that Lord Napier communicated with the British Admiral, on the West India station, as well as with his Government on the subject. While he is without official information he does not hesitate, as a private individual, to express his opinion that there has been some mistake about the instructions, and that his Government will make satisfactory explanations." The whole of the naval officers in Washington are to be employed, even though not in a position equal to their rank or claims. Two New York regiments had tendered their services to the Presid.nt in case of war with this country, and an additional appropriation of $50,600 for the Brooklyn navy-yard had been made. The Minister of Marine had given orders fur the armament and departure of all the ships of war; the steamers Arctic and Waterwitch included. The brig Maria Tribon, which had arrived at Boston, reported that she was boarded in the har bour of Sagua La Grande by men from a British crui-er. The John and Alert, arrived at New Orleans from Genoa, also reported having been fired into five times by a Biitish vessel of war. A Bill had been introdu3ed into the Senate enabling the President to obtain by force prompt redress for the perpetration of outrages upon the flag, soil, or ci izeus, of the United States, or upon their property. It proposes to authorise the Pre sident to make reprisals wherever the adoption of such a course is deemed necessary. A loan bill for $850,000, redeemable at any time after the ex piration of 15 years from the Ist of January next, to be issued at a rate of int-rest not exceeding 6 per cent., has passed the Senate. The Committee on Po :A-offices of the House of Represent .tives have determined to report a bill for ocean mail routes. They are to consist of the Collins line to Southampton instead of Liverpool, a line from New York to Havre, a line from Gluch stadt, via Plymouth P n d Rltterdam, and alinefrom New Orleans via Havannlh, Bermuda, Fayal, and Santander, to Spain. the subsidy to be limited to 700,000 do's. per =num. • The steamship Teanesse -, , from Vera Cruz, had ai rived at New Orleans with dates of the 21st ult. Communication between the interior and Vera Cruz had been opened again. The city had been again blockaded for three days by the Go vernment steamer Guerero, but in consequence of her fuel being out she was obliged to leave to obtain a supply. The hopes of the Reactionists were considerably damped, and the confidence of the Constitutionalists proportion ately revived, and they wore anticipating an easy victory. Nothing is sail of the whereabouts of Jaurez and his Cabinet. Ad vices from Tampico report that the war in that State was over. In the New York money-market, on the 25th, although the weather was unpropitious for street operations, the market was more buoyant than previously, and capital continued abundant at from 3 to 7 per cent. ; foreign exchange was more freely offered, but quotations were not fully settled. The shipment of gold for the week was expected to approach $1,000,000. The decrease in the speciu average was less than was expected by the move ments of the week, and showed that the reeipts must have been large. CORPORATION REFORM. This afternoon a meeting of the Livery was held in Common 11111, at Guildhall—the Lord Mayor in the chair—to consider the provisions of the Corporation of Loudon Reform Bill, now before Parliament. The at tendance was of the most scanty and meagre description ever known within the memory "of the oldest liveryman," and at the hour of meeting, two o'clock, there were not more than 150 persons Pre sent, including non-liverymen, who greatly prepoe derated. The majority of tie liverymen of Lon don know that the days of monopoly and exclusion are last and they very properly refuse to comply with the demands of a certain few, and attending meetings of the kind to bellow like calves fur rights sad privileges they know to be unjust on principle, and which are confined to, and enjoyed by, a comparatively small but chosen band to the injury of the community at large. The meeting was addressed by several gentlemen connected with the Livery and Corporation, which characterised the measure as a sham, and of spoliation, plunder, and confiscation , as regarded the rights and privileges of the corporation. The following resolutions were submitted to the con , sideration of the meeting : " 1. That this Common Hall learns with surmise 0114 concern that a bill has been introduced into + Commons, in ,ths betgula or tituled A bill house of the Corporation bi the City o f London,'ter by re which tion it is sought to deprive the livery of this city of their ancient rights (granted to them by royal charters confirmed by ants of Parliament, and enjoyed for six hundred and tifq years) of meeting and voting in Common Hall for Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Chamberlain, Bridgernasters, Auditors, and other officers of the Corporation—and that the said bill also contains clauses abolishing the rights of the City in cer tain dues and metage, without compensation, thereby ir.r troducing a p r i nc i p l e of confiscation which, if affirmea, will render insecure the foundation of property granted by charters and confirmed by acts of Parliament. "2. That petitions embracing the foregoing revolution be forthwith psesented to both houses of Parliament." LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF QtrEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in B ►nco—Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Juatio Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) ?RIOT COUNCILLOR. Sir J. T. Coleridge who retires from the banch at the end of the present term, and who was sworn in before the Privy Council on Saturday as a member of that body, made the usual declaration this morning befor e Mr. Justice Wightman, that he would not do anytbieg by virtue of that office to weaken or injure the Pro testant religion as by law established. BENONI p. BAIHOUSE—JUDGMENT. The Court gave judgment in this case, which was an ac tion for damages for injuries sustained to certain homes, owing to the improper working of a coal mine under the above premises. The principal plea relied on via l/ the statute of limitations. These learned judges were of opinio❑ the plea was good, and the judgment must be for the defendant. The other learned judges were of es contrary opinion. Judgment accordingly. DIVORCE COURT. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a common jury.) PEACOCK V. PEACOCK.—DIVORCE. • This was a petition for divorce preferred by the Wi fe against the husband on the ground of adultery. T b° , respondent, first, denied the adultery ; secondly, OP the petitioner had connived at it ; thirdly, that she ba d condoned it ; and fourthly, that she had committed adal' tery. The petitioner denied the said allegations. It appeared that the petitioner, whose maiden na me t. was Sarah Cuthb er t, marr i e d th e respondent on 26L" October, 1853, who is a silk manufacturer, residing 1/3 Spitalfields. There had been two chiAren by t ilt ' marriage, one of whom was dead, and the O r ' viving child was between two and three Yo ll of age. I n ,T une , 1856, t h e pet i tioner, w it" , her infant child, went into Kent on a visit to 0°1 ! friends, remai n i ng th ere a b out a month, and during th at time, it was alleged by the petitioner, her husband tom' mitted adultery with Matilda Carpenter his then servan t girl and residing under his roof. In January after, till servant girl left and was confined in February of ss infant child. In May she summoned the respondent 120. fore the magistrate at Worship-street, when it W adjourned to the 9, - ,h May and then dismissed. "t s February, this year, she again summoned the r espond before another magistrate and the result was that order of half-a-crown a week was made upon him for til t ' maintenance of the child. Evidence was then called in support of the petitions and in the event of the counter charge of adultery boa entered into, the case, it is expected, will occupy O s whole of the day. POLWE INTMLIGENOE.—(rhis Dar.) CRARAOTERS.—CharIes Judge and Robte t Leicester/were charged under the following circoo-111. ances : From the evidence of the several witnesses it apPegb re r ti o that on the p re vi ous S un d ay a f ternoon t h e p r ional e with another man who had escaped, were seen at door of No. S, Carlisle-street, Saho, fumbling at t h e don t ; and that on one of t h em see i ng a constable oomingt hesid " Here's a constabl e ," and they ran off.
