The bill legalising the crossing of cheques, and rendering it an essential part of the document, was read a second time on Tuesday, in the House of Lords, and will doubtless receive the legislative sanction. There is one clause, however, that greatly derogates from, if it does not completely neutralise, the value of the measure. The object was to give full and complete security to the drawers and recipients of cheques, who adopted the prudent precaution of making that cheque only payable through either a banking firm or some particular banker. The custom had long pre vailed, but unfortunately, when tested, it was found to afford but a partial protection. Any person, no matter how he obtained the valuable instru ment, could erase or alter the crossing, and, as a natural consequence, there was no adequate gua rantee thereby afforded. Bankers' customers naturally complained. They did not wish to run the risks to which they were subjected through the carelessness of those to whose hands and care they entrusted their money. The banking interest is, however, very influential in both Houses, and a proviso was added to the wholesome provisions of the bill, which must greatly detract from its utility. An amendment (?) has been added, to the effect that bankers paying a cheque which did not plainly appear to be crossed, or which bad beat obliterated, should not incur any liability. This, which did not appear in the original bill introduced by the Attorney- General, and which has been called only a fair protection to bankers, takes away all protection to their clients. The bankers can protect themselves by using a proper description of paper for the cheques with which they supply their customers. If, through any undue parsimony, through a penny-rise and pound-foolish policy, they decline to avail them selves of the advantages placed within their reach by - - 3 / 4 11e-progressocchemicalscience, the risk should fall on themselves, and not on the innocent drawers. The issue of books, containing forms for crossed cheques, and others payable across the counter to any bearer, would at once solve the difficulty. They might be made of different kinds of paper. A party who chose to accept one of the common kind would deliberately run the risk, and could not complain of the consequences of his 0/911 carelessness and indifference. The precaution is of a very simple character. ' Any mu tilation of the document, or change of colour, would at once put the banker on his guard. A wan accepting a cheque on common paper, and without the intimation on the face of it that it, could only be paid through a banker, might sub sequently, if he pleased, cros3 it, but if that direr tion were erased he should sustain the loss. NVE) trust that this important matter will be looked to in committee, and that a really useful measure may not be emasculated by the addition of a prc l'utr) that neutralises all its advantages. There is further intelligence from India, and, we rejoice to say, of a very satisfactory character. The British leaders have in every instance effi ciently discharged the duties confided to their charge. The rebels have either been defeated, or fled without a contest. The British name alone is equal to thousands of men armed all in proof. The insurgents, however great the numerical odds in their favour, are unwilling to risk an encounter where, by any possibility, it can be avoided, and the results, where they have come into collision with our troops, have proved, beyond the possi bility of doubt, the accuracy of the estimate formed of British prowess. There is still, and, of course, for a considerable period there must be, a guerilla warfare. The fugitives will plunder the country, whenever and wherever they can do so with impunity. Many are fighting, or believe that they are fighting, which amounts to the same thing, with ropes about their necks. Conscious of the most atrocious guilt, they know that they are unworthy of clemency, and cannot suppose that they would be included within any amnesty that could be offered ; and the less criminal are still seduced by the stronger minds with which they are associated, to protract their resistance to legitimate authority. _ _ The triumph at Gwalior has been more com plete than could have been anticipated. Not only was there the moral effect of restoring to a faithful and friendly Sovereign his throne and children, which had been lost solely in consequence of his fidelity to his engagements, but the insur gents who had formed the only existing rebel army—a nucleus for a much larger force in the event of any reverse to the British arms —were completely defeated, with the loss of 27 guns and a large amount of the treasure which had pre viously been plundered from the Gwalior Exche quer. The rebels were completely surrounded. On one side, in front, was the Agra force, while Brigadier NAPIER—one worthy of the name— pressed them in the rear, and Sir HUGH ROSE on the flank. It is supposed that TANTIA ToPEE had escaped, but as the pursuit was still ener getically followed, it is by no means improbable that a good account may yet be rendered of that wily traitor. Indeed, in consequence of the judi cious arrangements entered into, the rebels were completely hemmed in on every side, and there seems a reasonable prospect that the Gwalior mutineers will no longer remain as an organised army in opposition to our troops. A great victory was gained by General HOPE GRANT—another of our English Paladins—at Nawabgunge. The rebels showed extraordinary determination, standing to their guns very gallantly. They eventually fled with the loss of 600 men and six cannon. The fight lasted from half-pa.r, four to half-past seven a.m. The rebels were utterly routed, and have fled across the Gogra, at Bairam Ghaut. Our loss was six killed and thirty wounded ; but, alas ! the sun afterwards knocked over a number of men. There seems to have been some mistake in keeping the Hussars exposed, for they lost a number of men. There was no long pursuit, and General GRANT was most care ful of his men ; but these new men—some of them—do not know what it is even to get into a tope of trees, for they were actually surrounded by 20,000 of the enemy, who evidently relied on their numbers. Some chiefs were killed and wounded. This engagement will doubtless have a good effect. The death of the Ranee of JHANSI is confirmed, and the Moulvie, for whose capture 50,000 rupees was offered, has also been killed. Two out of the four chief miscreants have thus been disposed of. We trust the Commons will " insist" on their " disagreements with the Lords" on the principal alterations, amendments we cannot call them, in troduced by the Upper Reuse into tho India Bill. We have throughout advocated responsibility of the Minister as the most important point in the Home Government of India, and never relished the appointment of a Council, which must both operate as a shield when he might otherwise be called to account by the [louse of Commons, and must isdisposs him to action, however decided his own judgment, unless he can secure a majority, at least of his Council, in favour of his policy. We, therefore, entirely approved of the powers of the old Secret Committee being placed in the hands of the Indian Secretary alone; and of his being enabled, without delay, and without the embarrassment of consulting the Council, to send forth, by his own authority, such orders as he might deem necessary. In truth, the more he sent out of such orders, the better Administrator we should expect him to be. The Lords, however, gave the Secretary, for such purposes, another little Secret Committee—" the Tice-President and one other member." Lord JOHN RUSSELL was for going further, and adding " four other members." Lord STANLEY, how ever, and the CHANCELLOR of the ExCHEQUER objected both to Lord Joileee and the Lords' proposals, and the Howe, following them, " dis agreed with the Lords' amendments." We are glad Lord STANLEY is not afraid of responsibility —dread of responsibility is the bane, just now, of the public service. The Lords had made another alteration—a mischievous, though a negative one—in regard to competitive examinations. The Biil, as sent up from the Commons, after providing for rules being made for such examinations for the I❑dian Civil Service, added—" The candidates certified by the Commissioners or other persons to be entitled under such regulations, shall be recommended for appointment according to the order of their profi ciency, as shown by such examination, and such persons only as shall have been so certified, shall be appointed or admitted to the civil service of India." It will be seen that these sentences would compel nomination by merit. Blockheads could not be introduced by mere favour. Th e y do not require that any man should be put to the work he was not fit for—the mathematicia❑ where the linguist should be, or the youth of faculties adapted to the law to the post of a local ad ministrator; but, they do require that to obtain an appointment, the voting man must be something more than the son or the friend of Lord This, or of Col. That, or of Mr. So- and-So, or of some po litical supporter of the Minister who nominates him. These words, then, the Lords left out. The pretence was that they interfered with the prero gative of the Crown ; the real reason was quite obvious. Lord STANLEY, though personally strongly in favour of the clause as it stood—indeed, his Lordship has always bee❑ the earnest advo cate of public competitive examinations—thought that no Indian Minister, after the appointment of a board of examiners, would dare to contravene the design cf their appointment, especially as the order of Council, by which the regulations are made, must be laid on the table of the Home cf Commons. He thought, therefore, that even without the words requiring the nomination of the successful candidates, the altered clause would attain its object. Perhaps he did not wish to press too hardly on the Lords. The house, how ever, while it expressed, and justly enough, the most entire confidence in its wishes 'Ling regarded while Lord STANLEY is Indian Minister, did not like to trust any po ,_ siLle Indian Minister, and " disagreed with this amendment also. It was thought that public competition was much. F49relsaf.; when required by an A$ of.ParKament, whir - 3h could net be repeated without long consideration and debate, than by an order of Council, which might be revoked any day, and which, though laid on the table of the House, might escape a vote of censure from a hundred causes, perhaps, from a "desire not to embarrass the Ministry" of the day. A more valuable stimulus to middle class education cannot be devised than providing fair rewards for it. We only hope that in regard to . the home service a like clause will soon become part of au Act of Parliament. Lord STANLEY appeard in no way displeased at the result of the division, and at the sugges tion of General EVANS applied the principle to another amendment of the Lords. Examina tions are provided by the bill for the scientific branches of the army—the clause ended 'with these words—" And the candidates who may be found entitled under such regulations shall be recom mended for cadetships according to the order of their proficiency, as shown by such examination." These words the Lords also struck out. As in the former cases, the spirited and successful youth might be, after all his exertions, and all the expenses incurred by his parents, left unnoticed, in favour of some Ministerial pet. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was the chief instigator to the rejection of the above worth. He repudiated in dist inct language " the son of the grocer or the son of the tailor," in favour of the "son of the country gentleman or of the retired officer." Lord DERBY defended the grocers' and tailors' sons if equal to the sons of the aristocracy—yet the Lords struck out the words. Lord STANLEY and the Com mons have restored them. We hope they will be immoveable. The successful establishment of competitive examinations for the public service in India will prove the knell of Duneadom in the public service at home.

An alarm was given, and a medical man having been sent for, found that his skull bad been split open by a heavy blow. He was bled, and his face washed with cold water, which re stored animation; but in two hours after he breathed his last. His iron safe bad been broken open, and its contents carried off, as well as that of several boxes which had contained watches. THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL CoUßT.—Yesterday merning ieformatioa was conveyed to the city authorities f the death of Mrejohn C'arke, c!erk to.the Central Criminal Couri, and oreik of the peace for the sty of London, which took place at an early hour yesterday merning from diphtheria.. Mr. Clarke became clerk to the Central Criminal Court in 1829, previous to which he had for a considerable period actually discharged the duties of the office, although filling a subordinate cepa city. To the tffice of clerk of the, Central Criminal Court a salary of 3,0001. a year is attached ; but the holder of the office out of that sum has to maintain an efficient staff of subordinate - clerks. The aopointment to this office rests with the Lord Mayor and the judges on the rota for the time being. The Superannuetien Act, which has just been with dra Nn from the House of Commons for this session, con tained a provision for superannuating the clerks, sort ers , an , Llet ter-carriers in the metropolitan post-offices of Lon don, Dublin, and Edinburgh, but no provision for superan nuating similar classes cf officers in the provincial post offices. The latter officials are not rec - gnised as strictly belonging to the Peet-office department, although they are in the service of the Postmaster-General, and are d-prived of the elective franchige like other civil servants of the Crown. Arrengemente are making for organisiuo a movement to secure f o r all country poet-effice officials ' whose labour is claimed to be at the sole di.vpo-al of the Postmaster-General the benefit of the civil service su perannuation fund. A number of members of Parlia ment have already promised their support to this pro poeition when the Superannuation Bill is again brought frward next session.

Hamilton, of Ballrigean, was run down by a- 'arge fishug smack ahout 300 3i-iris fit ,na the shore, and instantly sank. Out of the five persons on board- Mr. Tjeiiiileyi'ee boat e euceeeded in getting into the meek'. aner-bee swam till picked up by a boat ; while a lady's life-was almost miracu , ously saved by the extraordinary etertions of Mr. Hainilten. Sie was pre eipiteted into the water to a great depth by the violence of the colli;ion, and the smack actually passed over her. Mr. Hamilton watched where she went down, and though a very bad swimmer, he immediately dived down till he reached her, and with great difficulty succeeded in raising her to the surface of the water. He then swam with her towards the shore,' till a boat put off and pinked both up. Being desirous of showine her feelings of gratitude to the Almighty for this merceul preserva tion ef her life, she has thought that she could not do so in a 'mere appropriate manner than by placing at the eisposal of the National Life-boat Society the sum of 3001, to be employed in stationing an additienal life boat on some part of the Irish coast. Mr Hamilton, who is the nephew of the member tor Dublin UnivereP-Y, leas on previous occasions been in::rumentai in gallantly saving life from shipwreck, and was chiefly Vie mean ef fiunding a lifsehoet establishment, in cennection with the Lifeboat Society, at Skerries, near Ballriggan. WRECK ON THE LANCASHIRE COAST.—LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—LYTHAM, JULY 27.—During a heavy gale from the N.W., on Sunday morning, intelligence was brought to the Lytham lifeboat station of the Reyel Net:ion-A f,', sou itlAt a sub 'otter was lying sunk in the bank off Southport, with her crew lashed to the rigging. The lifeboat was instantly got ready, alt lough her air Cases and all her tackle had been re moved on the previous day to have their annual painting and overhauling agreeable to the rules of the parent in stitution. Having awi •d ward position the lifeboat pro • 'seeded rapidly towards the wreck. In the meantime the Si:uthport lifeboat was also observed making for the ill. fated vessel, running along under the lee of the elndhank. An exciting race now ensued beeween the two lifeboats, in which the Southport boat, from her having com paratively smooth water and her proximity to the wreck, was the winner by only three mieuiee, and rescued the crew of three men woo had bean exposed in the rigging for ten hours, Tbe wreck was the ecilooner Mineral of Barrow. The Southport lifeboat ha , , it is raid, been instrumental in saving about 200 lives from wreck. Her ga lant coxswain, Wm. Rocki ff, has been aft tae. in her on every occasion, aid has bean presented with the sil ver medal of the l`ratie , .al Lifeboat Society fir his in trepid services. The Lytham new I feboat has only been on her station three year-, but duel g that pi-Timd she has rescued tt e crews of 'tree or four wrecks, and saved two or three vessels from deetructton. O- the occasion ie quest on nothing ceul I have exiteed-d the b ihaviour of the National Society's boat, which is, like all its life boats, in excellent trim.

Edmonstone, Esq., SecretAu to the Go vernment of India, with the Governor-General. OUDE. Sir H. Grant - , on the 13th of June, attacked a large body of the rebels at Nawabgunge, on the Tusabad-road, and, after a hard fight, dispersed them, killing 600 min and capturing six guns, the Rajah of Airowlee, one of their leaders, being among the slain. Rajah Khan Singh is being attacked in his fort at ShabjuLge, but the rebels have as yet made no impression upon it. The ri aj has applied to Government for ammu nition and funds, which will be supplied to him. NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES. (BENARES DIVISION.) The districts of Azimghur and Ghazepore have been again disorganised, owing to the presence of bands of rebels from Jugdespore. The main body, under Ummer Singh, on the approach of Brigadier Douglas, abandoned Ghumer, and fled southwards, but several large parties recrossed the Ganges, and made for Oude, burning most of the Government thoughs (?) and fustreds (?), and plundering many lt - sge towns on their way. The rest of the Benares Division is quiet. GORUCKPORE DISTRICT. The column under Major Cox, which relieved the Rajah Wu Bansee, joined by the followers of that chief, pursued the rebels under Mehmuee Dassain across the frontier into Oude, and on their return attacked and drove the rebels out of the west at Amorba. ALLAHAB AD DIVISION. This division is quite quiet, with the exception of the frontier Pergunmhs of the Allahgesad dis trict, which has been somewhat disturbed. A large marauding party was attacked and dis persed near Soram by a small force sent out by Brigadier Richar (?); 31 men were killed and 11 taken prisoners in a charge made by the 6th Ma dras L;ght, Cavalry. The Banda district is settling down quietly. AGRA DIVISION.g Some excitement prevailed in the southern fron tier of the Agra, Mynpoorie, and Atowah districts, caused by the state of affairs in Gwalior, but the rapid movement of troops on Gwalior from all sides, and the vigorous me isures adopted by Sir Hugh Rose, issuing in the recapture of the town and fort of Gwalior on the 19th inst., have re stored confidence and tranquillity. Fewsing, the rebel Rijah of Dynpoorie, has sur rendered himself to the Magistrate of E awas (qy. Etowah?) on a guaran:ee of his life. The Deerut Divi ion is quite peAeeful. ROHILCUND The districts of Bodah )w, B•gnour, and Mora dabacl are quiet. A band of rebels has been routed near Buheree, in the Bareilly district, by a small column of the Rohileund force and Kuttoee police levies, under Captain Costomin ; 70 rebels were killed. The notorious Moulvie, Ahmedoole Fahkan, of Fyz bad and Lucknow, has been killed in the Shahjehanpore district, at Pawean, which place he had attackei with 5,000 men. BENGAL. The rebalg, under (Telmer gin b, who were driven out of the Jugdespore jungles by Sir Edward Lug; rd, and had at fist .glad© for the Gawleepore district, have retraced their steps, and are spreading over the elstern side of Bmga.l, plundering and burning all villages whose inha bitants they suppose to be well affected. The station of Gyahas has been reinforced by 300 Madras Rifles. Her Majesty's 77th Regt., 509 strong, had arrived from Au3tralia, and will be ininadiately moved up to Dinapore. A wing of the 2d battalion 60t:). Rifles has been sent to Dacca, Central India. G WALIOR, On the 16th of Jane tho Contra' India Field Force from the east, and the &spree Brigade from the south, had coucentrAted , iroutid Gwalior. On the 17th four guns were taken by the Seepree Brigade. On the 18th the Ranee of Jhansi was kiPecl. On the lan the town and palace of Gwalior were taken by Sir Hugh R ise, after an action which lasted five hours and a 114 f. The Fort was succe.ssfully stormed next day by a detachment of the 25 h Bombay Native Infantry, Their brave leader, Lieutenant Rose, was killed. A column of horse artillery and cavalry, under Brigadier-General Napier, was sent in pursuit of the rebels ; and Colonel Ric/dell's column from Dholepore was directed by Sir Hugh Rose to cross tiie Chumbul and purstto the fugkives. The Bri gadL,r-Getieral Napier overto ik them on the 21st near Crc,ura-Alipore, on the old Bombay road, de feated them, captured 25 guns, and cut up a con siderable number. Tantia Topee Balaras and the Nawab of Bincla have, it is believed, escaped. Brigadier Napier has con iuued the pursuit towards Jubbulpore. On the 20th of June Sir Hugh Rose and Sir B. amilt9n conducted the Maharajah of Gwalior to his Palace. The streets through which they passed were lined by immense crowds, who received the Maharajah with every appearance of attachment. The Baiza Rae; with the family of Seiudiah, re turned under the Escort of the Sepree Brigade, and are now in the Palace with the Maharajah. NAGPORE.

The rebels have entered the Shal;alt district, their path being m4rkel by rapine and murder ; all these well affected to the British are mostly suf ferers. CENTRAL INDIA-GWA.LIOR. The rebels from Gwaliur, with Tantia Topee, crossed the Chumbul, arrived at Sineemon on the 24th of June. On the 26th their numbers, with camp followers, were estimated at 15,000. They still retain a few small guns, mounted on elephants. Th?y appear undecided as to whether they shall Attack Yeipore or Churpore. A flying column, under General Roberts, from i\Tusee , a,bad, advanced towards Jeypore _on the 27th of June. Brigadier Showers marelled for Futtelpore (Sikki) on the night of the 26tb. He was to biz) reinforced by a detachment returning from Bat pore to Agra. JEYPORE. The first intelligence of the movements of the rebels caused great excitement at Jeypore, which has since greatly subsided. MUOW.

No event of importance has transpired within the limits of this Presidency since the departure of the last mail. R. L. ANDERSON, Secretary to Government. Bombay Castle, July 3, 1858. V. G. MON TANARO. Malta, July 23, 1858. [The following appeared in part of our impression of yes terday] : The following telegram was received at the Foreign-office, from Acting C , nsul-General Green, on Wednesday, July 28, 1858, at 1.25 p.m.:— ALEXANDRIA, JULY 23, 1858. The steamer Bombay arrived at Suez from Bom bay this morning. The following intelligence from the Bombay Standard of 3d July, 3 p.m., has reached this by telegraph. Sir Hugh Ro=e reached Gwalior on the 16th June from the south-west ; Brigadier Smith ap proached it from the south-east. Early on the 17th a series of severe conflicts en sued on both sides of the town. On the 19th the enemy were beaten and dispersed in all directions, and the town captured by us. The fort was next day found abandoned. The Maharajah was conducted in state to his Palace on the 19th. Four of our officers have fallen. During the four days we had captured twenty seven guns, many elephants, and a vast amount vi treasure. The fugitives had the Agra force in front ; Napier on their rear ; Rose and ours on thei► right and refilink (qy. left flank). A large force, under General Roberts, left Nus serabad on the 20th, in the direction of Jeypore, where the mutineers are supposed to be assembling. On the 13th, General Sir Hope Grant gained a brilliant victory at Nawabgunge, near Lucknow, capturing a large number of guns, and driving the enemy across the Gogra. On the 9th the celebrated Moulvie, for whoa 5,0001. had been offered, was killed. Oude continues much disturbed. The Governor-General, on receiving Lord Elkid borough's despatch, issued a proclamation giving amnesty to all hut murderers. The results are no , yet known. Telegram arrived by the Wanderer on the 28th July, 4.50 a.m. STOPFORD, Rear-Admiral. THE ACTION AT NAWABGUNGE. We have been favoured with the following ac count of the victory described in the telegran received last evening : " LIICKNOW, JUNE 15, " Since I wrote to you on Sunday General Grant has made a good example of a large body of the rebels at Nawabgunge (B, tree Bunkee). Of the feet you will have heard by telegraph, but some of the details may interest you, which I briefly give you. Our force—the two brigades of Rifles, 90th, sth Punjaub, 18 guns, and some 1,500 cavalry—leis Churhut at 11 at night, came to the bridge across the nullah before daylight, and here the action c)mmenced. The enemy defended the bridge wits two guns. Our fire soon silenced them, and the rifle skirmishers did the rest. The enemy fled pre cipitately towards the jungle on this side, ane when they had secured their retreat turned an sent in an ill-directed fire of grape and round shot Our guns replied, and they retreated altogether, leaving one gun. This party did not lose many men. In the meantime their guns opened on the right, and all the mobs who were in the topes round Nawabgunge advanced and attacked in front our right, and rear, all at once. Some of thes, did not fight at all, but others showed great pluck, and stood to their guns obstinately. One body for an hour and a half stood their ground, in perfectly open ground, within 400 yards of out guns, which were firing grape and round shot. The rebel loss was very great; all their gunnel;: were killed. A party of infantry stood in the opet against two companies of the Rifles, and received their charge without running ; they were all eithe , bayonetted or killed win ciuLb_d muskets. Somt 40 footmen rectired a charge of the ith Hussars, who rolled them all over ; all but one man got ni again, but the Hussars came back and killed the whole of them. I mention these instances to shoe you with what determination some part of the rebels fought. Their loss has been conequently heavy, and is estimated at 600 and six excellent guns. The fight lasted from half-past 4 to half-past 7 a.m. The ret,els were utterly rowed, and have fled across tb. Gogra, at Bairam G►haut. Our loss was six killer. and 30 wounded, I believe; but, alai ! the sul, afterwards, I hear, knocked over a number of men. There seems to have been some mistake in keeping the Hussars exposed, for they lost a number of men. There was no long pursuit, and General Grant was most careful of his men ; but these new men—some of them—do not know what it is even to get two a tope of trees, for they were actually surrounded by 20,000 of the enemy, who evidently relied on their numbers. Some chiefs were killed and wounded. This engageinwit will have a good effect, I hope." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. At the last sitting of the C. knfet eoce M. Walewski, it is said, distributed to the Plenipotentiaries the draught of organisation, the duty of drawing ul which devolved on him. It wa: c .refully examined by ach member of the C, nfereuce. Their ob,t-rva tions on it will probably bo of a secondary na. tire ; and it is expected that tt.e pryject wabe defini tively adopt6lci at the ai tug of the 12th, with the view of Lenz subtuittect to the Emperor on the 15th. The Prefect of the Manche, and the Sub-Pre fect of the Arroncii , sement of Cherbourg, have been called up to Paris by the Minister of the Interior, for the purpose of concertiug with the auth or iti es proper measures of police for the safety o f ti e Emperor, and of vigilance as regArds Guernsey and Jersey. According to the originA plan, the Minis ' ter of the Interior was not to quit Paris during the feAivi(ies at Cherbonrg. He will, however, accom pany the Emper.r on his journey; and the Secre tary-General will be charged ad interim with the direction of affairs in the absence of M. Delangle. Prince Jerome will take the direction of all afiiiis of importance during the Emperor's absence. The Emperor I,ft Plombieri s yesterday morning to return to Paris by the Mulbanseu Raii way, pass ing by Lang; es, Ch-,umont, and Troyes, where pre parations had b?en made to give his Majesty a brilliant reception.

Along the whole of the road over which his M,jesty paaed the inhabitants welcomed him with loud acclama tions. In proceeding along cn the railway the Emperor bad the train stopped at several atatioas, ,aid received the auth. rities of the locality. His .Nlaje.sly alight..d a Chaumont, Bar-sur-Aube, ,yes, Longueville-lez-Provins, and several other stations, visiting at the first of these places th e gigantic viaduct which carries the line across the valley of the Suize. Thle roagnificeet work of art stands at a hei7lit of more than 150 feet aboVe the valley, and is upwards of 1,500 feet in length. is Majesty last year decorated the engineer of the p‘nts-et-chau , sees who was the author of the plan t and on the present occasion he himself attached the cross to the breast of M. Gout din, the civil en gineer wh., directed the execuion of the works. At every place where the Emperor stopped he left marks of his munificence for all who AV ere in distress, particularli for the wearers of the St. Helena medal. The Emper, , r arrived at al.out six in tbe , 3vening at Li, Villette, where a opecial train was in re :diners to take him by the railway round Far° direct to St. Cloud. The following telegram, dated Marseilles, 28th inst., has reached ?anis :—" Accounts have been received from Candia to the 19th.
