It is now thought likely that the report of the com mittee will not he concluded much before the 23rd, and that the 'debate will not ti until the beginning of belt month, so that the senators, during the interval, may en joy a few days holiday. 1 There was some talk in the Senate to-day of the prorogation of the Conseils G6n6raux until the 30th of August. The reporter will most likely he appoitited at 111{; next meeting. The majority of the suffrages are expFtted to be for 111. Delangle., The committee ou iho Seuatus Con : sultana Met to-day, and continued the disnssion on the sixth article. The only difficulty yesterday, I understand, arose during the consideration of the second article, relating to the reSuonsibility of the Ministers. Filially, it was decided to pass on to the discussion of the other articles, reserving the disputed point for future con sideration.' M. noulio, a is said, is still high in favour at Court, and his nomination as member of the Privy Council is cer tain. The Emperor, I am told, is still unconvinced that France will lie' dissatisfied with ha:l measures. He inclines to the belief t?iat the people will be contented with a Liberal Government modified by the personal influence of the head of tare State. Napoleon regards the new measures as an experiment, and he awaits their reception by the Corps L6gislatif. The friends of liberty maintain that a Chamber elected under the regime of official candidates does not represent the result of universal suf frage. Enttlll , Emperor will not h e ar of the dissolution Chamber. the Char. He will never consent to it unless he is forced to to so by the attitude assumed by the majority, or by the Left obtaining the direction of affairs. The great object will be to have as few changes as possible in the working of the political system, avoiding, of course, all direct &dlision with the new reforms. The amnesty is thought unlikely. The attitude assumed by the Govern ment towards the press and the Opposition gives little reason to expect it. The recent press prosecutions continue to excite very angry feelings. The detention of M. Quentin, editor of the _Revell, at Mazas, has in particular called forth popular indignation. No one knows why be is there ; and and it is said that the Minister of Justice himself does not know, but that he holds such a trifling affair as quite beneath the notice of a man whose task it is to assist in the union of the Empire and liberty. Several of the journals discuss this matter to-day with some acerbity. The .Reveit recently published a brief account of M. Quentin's being brought for the cventh time from Mazas to the Palais de Justice. The unfortu nate editor was on these occasions removed in a prison van, and his friends and coadjutors had the opportunity of exchanging a few words with him as he sat among thieves and other criminals. No notice whatever has been taken of the various protests made on his behalf. M. Quentin has never been examined, and still remains totally ignorant of his offence. The Liberte, in reprinting this account, asks what the Frenchmen who effected the revo lutions of 1789, of 1830, and of 1848, to establish the reign of justice, are now to think of their Government, and whether they can still believe in the power of the press. The conduct of M. Devargier is severely censured, the more so as great hopes had been formed of him. The LibertC confesses to having one illusion the less. The Temps points out that the long preliminary imprisonment of M. Quentin has anticipated his sentence, and calls upon the Minister of Justice to explain his attack upon the liberty of the individual and upon those principles of 'B9 which the Constitution proclaims, but which the Government apparently fai:s to understand. For the comfort of those visitors to Paris who are appre bensive of being marched off to Mazas without warning for some unconscious offence, I may mention that in the judg ment delivered against the Itereil it is authoritativelydeclared that the police during the recent disturbances (which some persons believe only existed in their imaginations) only committed a few acts of unnecessary violence ; that it is not true that the eergent,-de-ville are generally armed with life preservers ; that the Emil, in stating these facts, generalised the exceptions to the rule ; and that the regulation which forbids the police to wear any other wea pon than the sword was very generally observed. Judging from the statements of M. Laferrire and many others, these exceptions to the rule were tolerably numerous. The details of prison life in Paris are worth studying ; dud the Prison of the Conciergerie has become for the moment a place of some interest, in consequence of Messrs. Pic and Taillefer being detained there. The description that has been given by a recent visitor to the place is in teresting. There is a great difference between the new and old parts of the prison. In the latter portion is the dungeon in which the unfortunate Marie Antoinette spent the last six mouths of her life. Every possible improve ment has been made in the arrangements of the new buildings, and the cells are not so dreary as might be expected. • MM. Pic and Taillefer spent their mouth of detention in two of these cells. The floors are mt de of oak, kept in the highest state of polish, and the furniture is not scanty for a prison. Prisoners fare very differently, however, after their conviction, and ➢I. Pie will have ample cause to lament his fate when he reaches the galleys at Toulon. There the convicts sleep on the bare boards with no covering even in winter. All the men in the ward are linked together, so that if oue moves the whole must be aroused. The Empress has been in person to inquire after the health of Marshal Niel. He is still in a most unsatis factory state, and suffers greatly from weakness. The Empress and the Prince Imperial will arrive at Lyons on the 24th of the month, and will remain there for a day. During her visit she will inaugurate the Boulevard de L'Empereur, and visit the Convalescent Hospital, which she founded herself. There seems to be a mania for duelling just now, and before one rencontre is forgotten another is announced. A hostile meeting (with pistols) has just taken place between two journalists, M. de la Ponterie, of the Paris, and M. Naquet, of the reaple, of Marseilles. After an exchange of shots, without effect, the seconds intervened and declared honour to be satisfied. Those who encourage workmen to strike might have learned a lesson the other day on the removal of the p isoners who had been condemned in the trials concern iig the Loire district. A crowd of women who w ere in waiting rushed forward crying and screaming, and the prisoners themselves appeared extremely downcast. Many of them have families dependent on them for sup port. A Naples journal gives an account of the dreadful end of the brigand chief De Martino. He was accompanied by a woman, who was irreclaimable himself. Some soldiers, while searching the district of Paglietta, discovered a hut made of branches in which the bandit and his companion were seen. The brigand refused to surrender, but the flash of his gun set fire to the branches, and it was impossible to save the inmates of the hut. The woman rushed out soon afterwards, but she died in consequence of the injuries she received. When the fire had spent itself, the charred remains of the bandit were found with the barrel of his gun and the blade of his poignard by the side of him, the rest of those arms having been consumed. During the conflagration re• peated detonations were heard as the cartridges of tl • brigand exploded. BANERUP7 CY OF 7HE COUNTESS D'AL7EYRAC. This case came before Commissioner Holroyd to day. It was an applicaticn for an allowance of £5O per month to be granted to the bankrupt, Countess D'Alteyrac, otherwise Willoughby. Mr. Treherne said that at the sitting for the choice a assignees, a resolution was passed that the bankrupt should have no allowance until she had accounted for a sum of £3,900 received by her. The debts of the creditors who had signed that resolution were only £7OO, whereas £2,118 were proved, and therefore the resolution not having been passed by a majority in number and value of the creditors present, was a nullity. The bankrupt was entitled to receive £1,200 a year from Lord Willoughby, to be paid by her Colonel Harcourt, and in default of payment, Lord Willoughby, under the award, was to forfeit £lOO penalty a month, or pay an increased allow ance of £2,400 a year by way of annuity, and which the assignees claimed. He submitted that by the 194th section of the Bankruptcy Consolidated Act, 1849, the Court was empowered to make an allowance to the bankrupt. Mr. Reed said the assignees were anxious to treat this lady with every consideration, but that she showed great susceptibility as to age, which prevented them from selling her annuity. If she azsisted them, they would consent to an alloy auce being granted, but at present she had not com plied with the order of the court as to the suns of £9,800. Its Honour s.Lid that the creditors who proved at the first sitting might have voted if they had chosen to do so, and their silence could not render the resolution that had been passed void. Mr. Treherne said he would in that case have re course to the statutable remedy by calling a meet ing of creditors, and he now asked that an allow ance be granted to the accountant who prepared the accounts. Mr. Read objected until the assignees had had an opportunity of examining the accounts, which had been filed, and the application of Mr. Treherue was refused. Awe Railways. Paid.

AN ARTFUL Tier.—Daniel Maae, aged 27 years, wa,, charged with stealing a coat, value .£2, the property of is a sailor named John May. The parties recently became acquainted with each other, and a few days since were drinking at the expense of the mariner when the prisoner invited his friend into a skittle ground attached to some low beer-shop in Poplat. A game was proposed in which the prosecutor joined. The pri6oner "You will never win if you play with your coat on," and advised the sailor to take it off. May did so, and placed his coat on a form iu the ground. It was soon missing and the pi isen-r was missing at the same time. It was subsequently ascertained by Norman, a local detective of the K division, that the prisen:r had pawned the coat and spent the mono) , he raised upon it. The coat was produced and identified. There was a sea man's certificate of service and discharge found en the pr:soner to which he had no right. Norman believed that the prisoner had robbed another seaman and that he had been in 'the practieJ of d•Toying seamen into skittle grounds and robbing them. Tho Prisoner, in defence, said I never handled the coat. Ile was committed for trial. FOOLS ON TUB RAILWAYS.— A poor woman came before Mr. Paget and complained of a nuisance on the London and Blackwell Railway. She lived near the Shadwell station, where a great number of boys were in the prac tice of assembling, throwing somersaults, and begging for halfpence, which were thrown to them by the passengers, and for which they tumbled and scrambled. A few days ago a sovereign was thrown from a railway carriage, and the fighting and noise was dreadful. The boys mocked her, called her an old cat, and threatened her. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, and Inspector Osborne, H division, said the nuisance hal been complained of, and boys had been brought under the notice of the magis trates before. The money was thrown over the railway parapet. - - Mr. Paget observed that there wore plenty of fools travelling cn the railways. Nothing could be more absurd and mischievous than to ba throwing money to boys to be scrambled for. It was bad enough on the roads, where people riding on omnibuses were stupid enough to en courage young vagrants to tumble and risk their lives and limbs by throwing halfpence to them. He granted a sum mons against the leader of the boys who had insulted and threatened the applicant. WESTMINSTER MISCONDUCT AT A TAVElLN.—Francis Maitland, a re spectable-looking man, was charged with violently as saulting John Banks, barman at the World's End tavern, Chelsea. Complainant said that the defendant and two friends came to the bar on the previous evening and had some re freshments, for which he did not pay. When asked for the money he declared he had paid, and called them cheats, but said he would pay again. He then gave the required amount and wont away, but returned in a short time and asked for his change. The barman told him that he was not entitled to any, upon which defendant said he would have his change out of him, and struck him a violent blow. Complainant went to put him out when defendant struck him again, and then complainant defended himself. One of the defendant's friends also attacked him, and Mr. Puzey, the landlord, had to come to put him out. Mr. Stuyth, solicitor for the defendant, urged that he had been drinking, and that some mistal:a occurred re specting the change, when complainant, pushed and struck him. .He hoped that the blow he had received, and the consequent injury would bo taken into consideration. Mr. Arnold, after hearing the evidence fully, said the assault was clearly proved, and fined the defendant 40s. or a n.onth. XIARLBOItOUGH-STREET. ORGANIsED STREET Ftams.—Three lads, named Thos. Oran, William Bragg, and James Flanagan, were charged before Mr. Knox with violently assaulting John Foster, a plumber. The prosecutor, whose head was bandaged, said that about ten o'clock the previous night he was passing through PortlmA-street when some stones were thrown at him, and directly afterwards he was surrounded by about 50 lads with sticks, led on by Oran, who was called the "captain," and struck several times, Oran striking him on the head with an iron bar. Charles Willows also proved being assaulted by the pri soners. Oran was committed for two months, Bragg for one month, and Flanagan was discharged, the evidence against him being but slight. AN HABITUAL OFFENDER WARNED BY THE MAGISTRATE, —John Press, Stephen Dean, Mary Wilson, and Ellen Wheatley were charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Tottenham-court-road, and Press was also charged with assaulting Sergeant Dowdell and Robert Carter, de tectives of the E division, and Dean was also charged with assaulting Chamberlain, a detective of the E division. The officers said the female prisoners go up and accost gentlemen, and the male prisoners then go up and ti ouble the gentlemen. The prisoners seeiug the officers coining made off, and on being caught assaulted the officJrs, who were surrounded by about 30 or 40 thieves, and they had great difficulty in getting Press to the station, ho Whaving in a very violent manner, and threatening to rip Carter open. In answer to Mr. Knox, Carter said that Press had been committed several times—ho was senteneed to one month at Marlborough-street, six months at Marylebone, three months at Wandsworth, 12 months at the Central Crimi nal Court, the latter sentence being for robbing a mail; and he was also tried and acquitted for a burglary at Percy Chapel. The prisoner (Press) was living with one of the female prisoners, who formerly lied with a man who was now doing 7 years' penal servitude. Mr. Knox said ho would like to say a few words to Press, not that probably he would pay any attention to him. Penal servitude for life was such a dread ful thing—it was staring him (Press) iu the face, and sooner than undergo it he had better be out of this life. Ile (Mr. Knox) had been a witness of what it was. A new law had recently been passed which would touch Lim, and the only chance for him when he next came out of prison was to leave this country. He was known to all the officers, England was too hot to hold him, and he (Mr. Knox) would advise him to ship himself off or there was little doubt what would be his end. Tho prisoners were then committed for three months each. INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, 12.30 p.m. Tho American gentlemen are having a new boat con structed for them in Messrs. Simmons's shed, under the superintendence of Mr. Elliott, the American boat builder; and although the public are excluded from the shed and the crew seem determined to have everything American, we can fairly say that the boat is the ordinary class of out rigger, built of cedar, bottomed upwards, and in her they intend to row tho race, the date of which is not yet fixed, but will probably do so this evening, as the Oxford gentlemen, and very properly too, require (we hear) four teen days' notice. The Oxonians are expected to arrive in the afternoon and go out at about 5.30, and their new boat was housed at the Leander Boat house this morn ing. The Americans all went out, Messrs. Bass and Rice in the pair ; and Messrs. Lyman, Faye, Simmons, and Loring in the four in the order named They went in the same rough style, splashing and rolling the boat about, and getting as far as Hammer smith on the three quarter ebb ; the time, too, was bad, but as their notions are entirely American, and their boats and oars too, they are not at liberty to borrow English style, &c., and consequently slow. Even though our Transatlantic brethren may beat us in other matters, a foitnight hence will, with little doub, show that Oxford University can produce one of the finest fours in the world.

The quotali)n of gold at Paris is about at par, and t le short exchange on London is 251. 1713. per £1 sterlinz On comparing these rates with the Engiiah Mint price of iia. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe..'s that gold at the above price is the same in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GJ days' sight was on the ith inst. 110 i per cent. At this rate there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
