It is almost needless to say that these terms were at once accepted by the defendants, and verdicts of not guilty taken in bath cases. It is needless now to speculate on what might i have been the results had the law officers of the Crown tried to have obtained adverse verdicts against the defendants. We believe that they exercised a wise and just discretion in accepting the compromises in cases which should never have been submitted to the Court, and which would not have been instituted by Lord DERBY'S Go vernment. Sir FITZROY KELLY proved himself to be the true Liberal, so far as the liberty of the press was concerned, and a sagacious statesman in respect to our foreign relations. It would have been impossible to have checked the honest fervour of the eminent advocate for the defendants. He would have fearlessly told un palatable truths, and elicited, even from the wit nesses for the prosecution, facts exceedingly dis pleasing to the real prosecutor, at whose dictation these proceedings were instituted by a too subser vient Government. Lords PALMERSTON and CLARENDON and Sir RICHARD BETHELL attacked the defendants. Lords DERBY and MALMESBURY and Sir FITZROY KELLY have honourably escaped from the difficulty bequeathed to them by their predecessors, and proved their respect for the fourth estate in the most unequivocal manner. The Palmerstonians are complaining because the Government did not receive an ignominions defeat; net perceiving that the disgrace would attach to their own protegees. They attack the Lord Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the distinguished and eminent counsel who conducted the defence. It was his imperative duty to vin dicate and protect his client, and he did so in the best manner possible. The Attorney-General accepted the declarations of respectable persons that they did not believe that they wore commit ting any offence in publishing the pamphlets in question, but that as they might be liable to mis construction they should be withdrawn ; and Lord CAMPBELL stated—not in reference to the parti cular article, - but as a general rule—that a publi cation having a tendency to incite to assassination was a libel. It could only be a factious feeling that could complain of the result, which was alike honourable to the Court, the prosecutors, and the defendants.

The Press prosecutions (as they have been termed) are concluded, and that in a 'very satis factory manner. The trials of Mr. EDWARD TRUELOVE, bookseller in the Strand, and of Mr. STANISLAS SWIERZOWSKI, of Rupert-street, Hay market, for the publication of what were charged to be " false, scandalous, and seditious libels of, touching, and concerning the EMPEROR of the French," had been specially fixed for yesterday, in the Court of Queen's Bench, to which they had been removed by writs of certiorari from the Central Criminal Court. A special jury had been impannelled, the highest amount of legal talent employed on either side, and the friends and supporters of a fr, e press anxiously awaited the result, although confiding in the impartiality of an English Judge, who had already done much for the fourth estate, and of au inde pendent juiy. The matter, however, was brought to a sum mary conclusion, thanks to the straightforward and enlightened viewg t a k en by the Attorne y Be ha -I not directed the prosecutions ; they had been instituted by the direction of his predecessor. According t o custom, or rather official etiquette, it was his duty to persevere and bring to a conclusion the proceedings commenced before his accession to office ; but he did so in the kind and lenient manner for which he has been pre-eaninently distinguished. Tempering justice with mercy, he was satisfied with a declaration There is at length some hope of an improve ment in the postal communications with the Aus tralian colonies. The new Secretary of State for the Colonial department, last night, admitted the justice of the complaints that had been preferred, and evinced a determination to render the service far more efficient than it has recently been. He declared " that the existing con tract with the European and Australian Royal Mail Company' would be immediately dis solved, and that tenders for a new service would be invited without delay, modifying the terms in such particUlars as experience might have shown to be necessary, so as to place that very important service on a satisfactory footing, and that in the meantime a temporary arrange ment would be made with the Royal Steam Com pany, or some other Company, for conveying the Mails between the termination of the present con tract and the commencement of a new one." This is as it should be. A matter of deep interest and vast importance, not only to the rising colonies concerned, but also to the United Kingdom, will I,lio most satistaotel y foundation . The trade with Anstr..4a is now of --,-; tude that every facility should be given for speedy and safe communication. Without the certainty of the early transmission of all advises that trade could not be properly conducted. Our merchants would be seriously damnified, and the colonial producers more severely injured, while the consumers would have, according to custom, to sustain the greater part of the burden. It is alike creditable to Lord STANLEY and to his successor, Sir EDWARD BITLWER LYTTON, that they have not resorted to red-tapist delays, or the ordinary forms of the circumlocution office. A flagrant grievance was exposed, and they at once entered into it, with an earnest purpose to pro vide an adequate remedy. They have done so ! The Company that disregarded the obligations by which they were bound will be dispensed with. The Gordian knot is cut, and respectable parties will be found willing to discharge the temporary duties until proper and permanent arrangements can be concluded. In this respect, as on the fo reign policy, and indeed all other points, the nation has real cause for rejoicing at the substitu tion of Lord DERBY and his colleagues for the veteran Viscount and his red-tapist subordinates. Heartily glad must every Londoner be to find that the monstrous growing evil of the Thames is at length forcing itself upon the attention of Parliament. As it is—the river is an absolute abo mination. It welters to and fro according to the fluctuations of the tide—a hideous open sewer of enormous dimensions ebbing and flowing perpetually through the densely-populated streets of a city containing from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 of inhabitants. It is loathsome to three of the senses—smell, sight, and taste. It is notoriously and undeniably pestilential. It pelotas not merely the bank of the stream, but the whsle surrauuding atmosphere. It adds ap preciably and, during these hot summer months, fearfully, to the aggregate amount of the morta lity. It holds continually is solution a revolting mass of feculent matter—dying its current of a deep mud-colour—and exhalng an appalling va riety of odours, odours as sickeiii4 as they are undeniably pestiferous. In proportion as the population increases the evil we speak of increases with it. And by a corresponding ratio the nauseating results are aggravated a thousandfold as the mercury rises in the thread-like tube of the thermometer. Nothing that we have here said— nothing that anybody possibly can say—upon this execrable abomination, is not already perfectly well known—alas 1 but too well known—to the two millions and a half of Londoners. The hor rid facts are carried directly to every individual within range of the river, far and wide, upon the wings of the wind. The miserable truth we are again directing attention 1 o—as we intimated in so many words in these columns several weeks since, be fore the hot weather set in—is literally a truth that "stinks in the nostrils of 3,000,00 0 !" Since we thus epitomised the whole argument in half-a dozen words—it has been doing so more (1,- plorably, more unondurably than ever. Members of the Legislature—both of the Lords and the Commons—have seen the horrible reality and smelt it, intensely, excruciatingly, for themselves. We are sincerely rejoiced that it has been so. We hope much from the remembrance of the stench of the Thames—and from a repeti tion with every rise of a few degrees Fahrenheit among the national representatives.. We believe Oa Tuesday, the Gth of July, Mr. Akroyd is to move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to accidents; and to provide for the more general education of young persons above thirteen and under sixteen years of age employed in factories. It is tolerably certain that the Queen of Spain will come to visit the Empress in the month of August. The Villa Eugenie has room for her Majesty, or for any other royal guest. The shipment of silver to Bombay has received a check from the turn in the exchange announced by the last mail. The steamer of the 26th, as far as is known at present, will not take out more than 50,0001. Rumour says that Mr. Dallas, the representative of the United States in this country, has expressed his satisfaction with the arrangements of our Government respecting the cruiser question, and it may be expected that in a short time we shall hear the news that this turner ri , r4ga-office diffienlre h as h..," settled by the present occupants of Downing--treet. DUBLIN, Tuesday.—The trial of Colonel Browne was resumed this morning. The case for the Crown was closed at noon. Mr. O'Hagan opened the case for the defence ; be spoke for nearly four hours, and at the con clusion of his speech the Court adjourned. We mentioned lately that a Roman Catholic clergy man was'drowned at Calais while bathing. An accident of a similar kind has just occurred at ierismes, where a Protestant preacher, M. Garden, died soon after having been bathing in the Canal de la Fontaine. He was car ried to his house in a senseless state, and died two hours after. THE CAGLIARI.—TLe steamer Lombardo, which arrived at Genoa on the 17th brought the news that the Cagliari had left Naples on Monday, and that the Eng lish consul was to leave Salerno on the 15th, to take charge of the crew, and see it embarked on the Cagliari. The vessel was expected to make the port of Genoa on the 18th. • Two SICILIES. —From and after the 101 July next all ships arriving in the Kingdom of the Two Siciiies must be furnished with a clean bill of health . from the Neapo litan Consul at the port of loading, and if with Brazilian produce on board, certifying that it has been duly aired and shipped in free pratique. In the absence cf such cer tificate vessels will be subjected to quarantine.—Oessette. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emi grant ship Escort, 765 tons, Captain D. Smith, which sailed from Plymouth on the 27th of November, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent C. Weymott, with 21 married couples, 113 single men, 98 single women, 16 boys between the ages of 1 and 12, 16 girls between the same ages, one male infant, and three females, making a total of 289 souls, equal to 269 statute adults, arrived at Sydney, New South Wales, on the 11th of March. Five deaths (infante) and four births occurred during the voyage. RUSSIAN MERCANTILE STEAM FLEET —LIVERPOOL, June 21.—The "Russian Steam Trading and Naviga tion Company" are rapidly increasing their Black Sea and Mediterranean ftet, which now numbers 30 or 40 full-powered screw steamers cf large capacity. Toe last addition to this fleet has just been finished budding on the Mersey, having been constructed by Mr. John Laird at his new works at Birkenhead. She is named the Emperor Alexander, and is the second screw steamship of 1,100 tons and 350 horse-power built for that com pany by Mr. Laird. Oa Saturday the Emperor Alex ander made a trial trip in the Channel, having on board a full load consisting of 600 tons of dead weight, with ,vatertanks full and store:. She attained an average .peed of 13. f knots, or about 15 ini'es an hour, which, being fully loaded is considered highly satisfactory. PRIVATE ARMED VESSELS IN THE UNITED STATES. —The it.timatiou from Washington to the effect that gr. Sickles intended to introduce a bill into Congress to authorise the arming of private vessels, that they might rape', any attempt on the part of a British man•of- war to overhaul them, has naturally caused some curiosity among our shipping men to know what the pro% isions of the bill will be. Merchantru , n have the right already, which they have always enjoyed, of carrying what ever arms may he deeined - necessary to protect them from the attacks of ocean freebooter:, and no act of Congress is necessary to secure such a privilege to teem; but there are very few ships that ever avail themselves of the privilege, or that carry anything more than a small gun, to be used for firing a signal of d stress. It can hardly be the intention of Mr. Sickles o propose that the Government shall furoish guns and ammunition to our merchantmen, to be used against British cruisers, for it would prove a most costly experiment, and be utterly useless for the purpose in tended. If any fighting is to be done, let it by all means be done by men-of-war, who are properly pre pared for such terrible work. Our merchant vessels have no conveniences wh .tever for naval engagements, and in an encounter with a regulerly arm: d vessel would be in a perfectly helpless condition. It is idle to think of adopting any half-way measures ;we must either make up our minds for war and prepare for it in earnest, or be content to settle our misunderstAnding with Great Bri tain in the ordinary method of peaceable and dignified diplomacy. The last thing we ought to do is to bluster, and the idea of authorising our private vessels to carry guns soure's a good deal more like bluster than a serious desire to inset an irependieg danger.—Nou York Times, June 8. FAINTING IN CRINOLINE.—The fashion of crinoline has received a severe check in Vienna, where the actresses of the Carl Thea•re have been prohibited from wearing it. Tuffs mea s ure vsa - i rendered necessary by the fact that an actre-s, who, in th e c h aracter o f an orp h an, was t o Lave tainted awey and fallen to the ground, found it impossible to realise tie Latter idea with anything like nature, from being so strongly cased in her steel-bound framework. MADAME LIND GOLDSCUMIDT.—This distinguished lady, with her husband and two children, a bon and daughter, arrived in Londou last week, with the in Lennon of residing in England for some ti me . Th e hole family, .including domestics, have taken pos session of a neat villa, called " Roehampt on L o d ge ," situated near to the south side of Barnes Common, and about a mile from Putney. The house i s i n a ret i re d position, and in the immediate vicinity of P u t ne y Common and the pieturebque village of Rothaiipton. " Thera will not be any commission ad hoc charged to proceed to the spot, to effect the delimi lation of the territory occupied by the Montene grins, but their possession of which is contested by the Porte. Such a solemn mode of proceeding, in presence of the victorious Montenegrins and the vanquished Turks, might particularly suit Russia, as it would be, in some measure a tacit recognition of the independence of that country, according to the wish of the Russians ; it would elevate the Montenegrits in face of their coreligionists of Tur key, and in the same proportion humiliate the Turks, by proclaiming the success of the former, and the impossibility imposed on the latter by the will of Europe to avenge the honour of their arms. Itwould also increase the displeasure felt at Vienna at the inactivity imposed on the Porte in this matter and give more eclat to the triumph of the orthodox Czar. At Paris and in London, attention has been pat dto t e representations of the Porte audit has been thought necessary to avoid aggravating the check which the latter has experienced by more clearly ex posing the consequences of it before the eyes of the Christian populations. It has been therefore de cided that engineers named by the five great powers shall proceed to the disputed territory, and, in concert with their respective consuls, draw out a map which shall be submitted to the examination of the five representatives at Constantinople, who will assemble in conference with the Ministers of the Sultan. The line of frontier drawn out by the engineers will probably become the definitive one." Another let'er contain the following ; " The fetes for the Imperial marriages terminated the day before yesterday ; they lasted a fortnight, and, including the two wedding outfits, have cost 80 millions of piastres (each piastre is worth about 5 sous.) In order to pacify public feeling on the subject of this expenditure, it is given out T11..,rn; vrms(-in-lau , of th e Sultan, will take on himself half of this enormous Outlay ; but even. admitting that his father, Abbas Pacha, had left him money enough to support such profusion, there still remains 40 millions of piastres which will go to swell the deficit of the civil list, already amounting to 620 millions of piastres. In order to be just towards every one, and give to etch his part of the responsibility of such inopportune prodigality, it must be said that the Sultan, before giving orders for this unproductive outlay, thought it necessary to consult his Ministers on the possibi lity of celebrating these marriages with the pomp and magnificence usual on such occasions at the Ottoman Court. No one of his advisers had the courage or honesty to dissuade him from his inten tion." that in this matter Parliament may be led by the nose to initiate one grand, obvious, and whole sorne act of purification. A Cabinet Council was held at 12 o'clock this day, at the Earl of Derby's private residence, his lordship being still prevented by indisposition Lora attend ing at his official residence in Downing street.. The Ministers present were :=--The Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor, the Mar quis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hardwioke, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Right Hon. Sir E. Bulwer-Lytton, General Peel, the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Lord Stanley, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord John Manners. We have reason to believe that the Earl of Derby has taken 03terley Park, near Brentford, for the summer months ; and it is, with much pleasure, we observe that the noble Earl thus intends to depart from the unfortunate example of his imme diate predecssors, who, even atthe critical moment, could not deny themselves the gratification of seeking amusement in the most distant and fre quently inaccessible parts of the United Kingdom. MADAME BASSANO AND HERR KUHE'S CONCERT. These well-known artistes give their annual grand morning concert to-morrow, at the Hanover square Rooms. Madame Yiardot Garcia, Mr. Sims Reeve, and the other chief musical celebri ties of the season will assist ; and Madame Bassano and Herr Kuhe themselves have already secured the public favour by their respective performances as vocalist and pianist. The name of M. Benedict as one of the conductors secures the efficient direc tion of the conceit, which, we have no doubt, will maintain its place among the best and most fashionably attended of the season. MADEMOISELLE Ili-mfrs.—The refusal on the part of the direction of the Viennese Opera to allow the exten sion of this popular larly'scontie has been rescinded—not, we have reason to believe, from any motive of liberality towards the manager of the London theatre, where her services have proved of such inestimable value, but be cause, at the eleventh hour, certain repairs which have for some time been in progress at the "Karnthnerthor" are found not sufficiently advanced to admit of the usual performances being resumed at the time expected. Thus the patrons of Her Majesty's Theatre may look forward to a repetition of those operas in which Mademoiselle Titiens has already achieved so well-merited a success, besides others in which she has not yet appeared before a London audience—and among the rest, no doubt our musical readers wil , hope, Beethoven's "Fidelio." DEATH OF THE EARL Or GLENGALL.—We regret to announce the death of the Earl of Glengall, who died yesterday morning rather suddenly, at Cowes, Isle of Wight. He was 64 years of age. In default of male issue, we believe the earldom becomes extinct. The deceased earl was the author of the popular farce of " The Irish Tutor," and other dramatic works of respectable talent, and of late years has contributed several political essays to the columns of the Conserva. tive press, of more than average ability. The earl's ancestors were a branch of the noble house of Ormond, -pringing from the third earl. By his decease a vacancy occurs among the Irish representative psers in Parlia ment. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-4 mar riage is arranged to take place between Miss Florence Sheridan, daughter of Mr. Brinsley Sheridan, M.P., and the Hon. A. F. Bamfylde, only son of Lord and Lady Poltimore. His Majesty the King of the Belgians visited the Duchess of Kent, yesterday, at Clarence Howe, St. James's. _ 14 TEST NEWS. BERLIN, JUNE 21. The King leaves for Tejernsee on the 24th. M. de Stellfried, grand master of the ceremonies, has been named grandee of Portugal. The ac counts of the corn crops in Silesia and the Rhenish province are rot satisfactory. The drought is felt very severely in those countries. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. By Imperial decree, M. Fould, Minister of State, has been charged with the administration of the department of Finance during the temporary ab sence of M. Movie. The organisation of Algeria and the appoint ment of Prince Napoleon as Imperial Lieutenant are once more on the tapir, and this time, we are toll, with all bat the certainty of a definitive reso lution. After various plans were examined, half ap proved, or wholly rejected, the Emperor himself drew up a project with the hand of a master. It was submitted to Marshal Vaillant, who declined giving an opinion, or intervening. Marshal Randon will be invited for to consider it, report thereon. Amongst the most intimate friends of the Prince it is stated that there is now very little doubt of his accepting the command, and with unobjectionable conditions. His Imperial Highness has, it appears, wooed, and, still better, won the hand and doubt less the heart of & German Princess, probably some distant relative d his mother, who was the sister of the present King of Wurtemberg. The Prince's marriage will take place before setting out, and the Vice-Imperial Court of Algiers will be established on a scale becoming a member of the Imperial family of France.

We have received Constantinople journals to the 12th, but their contents are not of great political importance. They publish the memorandum of Vely Pacha in answer to the complaints of the in habitants of Candia, the principal points of which we have already given. The following letter from the Turkish cap ta,l gives some information as to the probable modus operandi in the Montenegro affair : BELGRADE. A letter from Belgrade of the 14th in the New Prussian Gazette says :—" 7he English Consul- General, having failed to obtain satisfaction, has lowered his flag, and would have left the town, had not special difficulties opposed that step. The Turkish garrison sell holds possession of the ga'es of the town, and M. Foublanque would be exposed to fresh insults, were ha to pass through one of them. B e has consequently requested that theist posts shoul I be suppressed. But tbePacha declared that he could not take this step without having obtained the authorisation of the Porte, and that he must consequently refer to Constantinople for instructions." AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter in the Borsen Halle of Ham burg says :—"lmmedialtay after:the appearance of the two French vessels of war in Gravosa, Austria requested explanations from the French Govern ment. Although these explanations were satis factory, Austria acquainted France with the old rules which forbid more than one foreign vessel of war to enter an Austrian port without having pre viously given official information to the officials of the place. Ports of war, such as Pola, Cattaro, vessels." &e., are completely, she stated, closed to foreign Another Vienna letter in the C9logne Gazette says :—" Reports frcm the Austrian consuls in the Lower Danube state that the present moment is very favourable for the import into Turkey of Aus trian productions, especially manufactured articles, such productions having become very rare in Turk ish markets.

The following letter from Stockholm enters into some details on the subject of t l / 4 . .e reciprocal rela tions of S we d en an d N orwa y : "The Prince Regent having c losed at Christi ania th e sess i on of th e N orweg i an Chambers, is daily expected here. On his arrival, the Provi sional Givernrnent, which now rules the kingdom , conformably b our constitution, will lay down the powers with which it has been temporarily invested, and the Prince will resume the direc ion of publi c a ff a i rs . The p ar li ame ntary campaign which has just ended, and which it was thought would have rendered still closer the union exist ing between the two countries since 1815, has, in reality, produced but very trifi ng results. All the efforts atteciip ed by King Oscar and the mem bers of his family to unite together Sweden and Norway under th , ? same oat oual banner have oLly tenled to se, in more lively and dtcidvd colours the jealousy of the Norwegians towards their Soanditiavian brethren. The eminently de inocratil constitution of Norway places . it in an in dependent situation as regards the monarch who reigns at Stockho!m. Nevertheless, s ince the union of the two nations the people of Norway have never been able to throw wurle the fear of te?.ing tlPrnselved sooner or Liter absorbed by Sweden, although up to this time no fact has occurred to justify their apprehension. It has been necessary from the very commencement of the union to completely separate all the great administrations, such as the army, the fleet, and even the customs, from those of Sweden, and cases have presented themelves in which the Swedish Government was involved in complications from which war might have resulted, and in which it could not have se curely relied ou the material and financial co-ope ration of Norway, to exclusively occupied were the statesmen who there exercised power with their national feeling." The Prince Royal arrived at Stockholm in the evening of the 14th, and at once, as was expected, dissolved the regency which had been instituted to conduct affairs during his absence. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 18th contain nothing of political interest. The heat was excessive at Aranjuez, and the Quee❑ was slightly indisposed in consequence. The Discussion, a democratic organ, declares against a projected union between the Progressists and Democrats. The Minister of Justice had recommended the Commission on the Civil Code to terminate its labours as quickly as possible. The Royal Council had pronounced in favour of the continuation of sales of communal property. It was believed that the railway from Madrid to Valencia would bo opened in Novem ber ; a section of the line to Seville was nearly com pleted, and great activity prevailed on the Northen line. Accounts from Manilla to the 17th April say that the projected French and Spanish expedition against Cochin China had not sailed, and that it was waiting the result of the operations against China. " The Duke of Modena," says the Corriere Mer cantile of Genoa, "has refused to authorise soldiers of his country who served France under the Empire to wear the St. Helena medal." The city of Frankfurt, which, according to a resolution of the Diet of the 9th Dec. 1850, has to furnish a federal contingent of 700 infantry, has just addressed a petitiou to the Diet, praying for a reduction in that number. Thig application is founded on the fact that fore'gners, who form a considerable part of the inhabitants, are exempt from military service. A letter from Hamburg of the 19th says : "An express train will this evening convey to "Vienna 5 millions of marks bauco, in silver bullion —f , rming the second half of the loan of 10 millions which the Senate of Hamburg contracted with the Austrian Government. It may be remembered that the first half was repaid several months ago. The city of Hamburg has thus freed itself, before the period fixed, from the debts which it contracted during the crisis." THE WAR SPIRIT AT WASHINGTON. The defeat of Mr. Green's amendment, empower ing the President to grant letters of marque and reprisal in case of flagrant commission of outrages upon our eommerce or citizens by foreign powers, fairly indicates the true state of feeling in the Senate in regard to war. During the debates which have recently occurred in that body so much willingness was expressed to enter into a war, that many, not perceiving the game that was being played, really believed that a conflict with England was imminent. The Administration having found that the Republicans were deter mined not to stand in its way, and that they would be side by side with it in any warlike measures it might bring forward, suddenly faced about, and is now as gentle as a sucking dove. There is likewise every probability that the proposition of Mr. Sickles will be defeated. It certainly is more de serving of such a fate than -any yet brought for ward. The idea of arming our merchant vessels and permitting them to make prizes of British cruisers which shall attempt to search American vessels is simply absurd. If England has resolved to carry out the principle upon which the com manders of her cruisers have been acting in the Gulf, then we shall need all our naval vessels, and as many others as we can employ, in order to main tain our rights ; but, on the other hand, if she dis avows the late aggressions, then there will be no cause for hostilities ; the passage of such a propo sition as that of Mr. Sickles wouid place the Go vernment i❑ a mott ridiculous light. The question of a war with England is one in regard to which we need no bluster, for, when the time shall have come in which we shall be found battling with her upon the seas, we shall find in her an antagonist that will call forth all our energies. We have al ready heard too much of the braggadocio in regard to the late aggressions, and we have heard most of it where of all places there should have been the least—in our national Councils. It is well enough to increase our navy to the extent proposed; since we now have a force scarcely sufficient to take care of our commercial interests, which of late years have so rapidly increased. It will be time enough to adopt warlike measures when we shall have been informed that England intends to persist in the right of search. Then, instead of talking, we should act—and that, too, in - the most . decided manner.--New York Courier and Inquirer. THE RIVER THAMES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM. SIR,—A few facts regarding our magnm.ent IlleY have cut off the head by sundry dams and locks to 01.,r-la a supply or pure water —of course lessening the contribution to the main stream. They have cut off the tail by removing the partial dam which formerly existed at old Lon don Bridge. A mere ditch is now left in the middle, in the heart, of thometropolis, and every thing which is noxious, instead of flowing into a silent and copious stream as formerly, which flowed up to its highest banks, is now emptied into this puddle without regard to the time of tide ; and, as if to increase the devilment, steamers are employed to rake it up at all hours of the day, that there may be no mistake about the aroma. If lam not mistaken, there was a plan submitted to the Insti tution of Civil Engineers, by a Mr. Robinson, re commending a series of locks at London Bridge, so as to retain a vast body of water in the upper part of the river as heretofore, which would to a certainty very much relieve the nuisance by in creasing the body of wwera hundredfold ; and the advantage to the navigation of steamers, and the restoration of employment to a numerous body of watermen would be incredible. I sincerely hope - some attention will be given to such a plan, and the surface of the river will then, at all events, be an ornament to the greatest city in the world. I am, Sir, your humble servant, A CONSTANT READER. June 23d, 1858. MANN. NG THE NAVY. The following letter has been addressed to a contem porary : Sir,—As a Commission is about to take into consi deration the best plan for manning the navy in case of need, you will perhaps permit an old sailor's ideas on this important subject to appear in your paper. In consequence of the great use of steam there is not at present anything like the necessary quantity of youths brought up in the mercantile marine, or otherwise, at all approaching the great number of seamen that would be required for the navy alone in the event of a large naval war. I therefore submit for consideration that all merchant ships be liable, in peace or war, to have ready when called on, one, two, or more seamen, according to size of vessel ; these men to be designated in the articles as " Queen's service men ;" the same to be the case as regards all fishing vessels and barges frequenting bar. bours and rivers a here the tide bas power. The owners of such vessels, &c., to be exempt from calls to serve in the militia, and the crews of their vessels to be free from impressment. All traders on the c .ast who get their living by means of the sea service--such as ship builders, rope, sail, block, coast makers, and dealers in marine stores—in lieu of being called on for militia, to find a seaman for the navy. Such an arrangement, as regards the trades alluded to, cannot, on c alm reflection, be considered_ unjust, for it must b e b orne i n m i nd t h at on the prosperity oftie navy depends - their o wn. Such a plan, or something ou its principle, would cause all parties liable to hold out to youths every inducement to engage in a seafaring life, that they might have a supply of substitutes at hand. This arrangement, added to the number of youths brought c.instaroily up in the royal navy, will, I think, materially assist in supplying sea men when wanted in larger numbers than usual for the navy.

The medical officer of the Dreadnought Hospital ship appends the following note to his report : " The water of the Thames stinks most abomin ably. I cannot but think that the foul air has a deleterious effect on the health of the patients of this hospital, and I know that it has had something to do with the iuduction of fever in two instances on the orlop deck, the ports of which are only a few feet from the surface of the water. Several men on board, myself among the number, have suffered slightly from diarrhoea." Some particulars relating to the very high tem perature of Wednesday, June 16, 1858, are com municated to the Regisfr.r_a,...l by the Aatro iwiner itay " Early in the morning the temperature of the air in the shade was 61.5 deg., this increased to 82.7 deg. by 9 b. a.m., to 87.5 deg. by 10 h. a.m., to 89 0 deg. by 11 h. a.m., to 90.0 by noon, to 91.6 deg. by 0 h. 45 m.p.m., and to 94.5 deg. by lb. p.m. ; decreased to 93.3 deg. by lb. 20m. p.m., to 91.8 deg. by 2h. p.m, to 90 . 4 deg by 3h. p.m, to 72.2 deg. by 9h. p.m., and to 62.0 deg. during the night. The moan temperature of the day was 76.9 deg. exceeding the average for the day by 17.6 deg., being a greater departure from the average than Mr. Glaisher has ever experienced. "In the year 1818 the mean temperature of June 13 was 76.1, and there is no instance since of so high a meau temperature in the month of June. "In the year 1818, on July 21, the mean tem perature of the day was 79.2 deg.; in 1825, on July 15, 18, and 19, the mean temperatures were 79'1 deg., 78.2 deg., and 78.6 deg. respectively, and in 1830, on July 30, it was 76 . 3 deg., and this is the most recent instance of a mean daily temperature exceeding 76 deg. till that of last Wednesday, June 16. "In these several instances of high mean tempe rature the nights were very warm, having all been of a temperature much higher than that of June 16, but it is believed that there is no instance of so high a maximum as 94.5 deg. before last week. In 1846, on July 5, the temperature rose to 93 deg., and on June 28, 1857, it was as high as 921 deg. "The reading of the thermometer, whose indica tions are usually referred to as the highest in the sun, at 9 a.m. was 1068 deg., at noon was 115 . 5 deg., and at 1 p.m. was 117.7. The reading of a blackened bulb thermometer, with its bulb in a glass globe, placed beside the ordinary sun thermo meter, at 9 a.m. read 127.2 deg., at 10 a.m. 133.0 deg., at noon 135.7 deg., at 1 p.m. 136 . 0 deg., and at 3 p.m. 133.0 deg. "A similar thermometer to the last, and placed on grass, read at 9 a.m, 134.7 deg., at 10 a.m. 144 deg., at 11 a.m. 144 deg., at noon 1446 deg., at 1 p.m., 145.0 deg., and at 3 p.m. 143 deg. " The lowest reading on grass early in the morn ing was 47 . 8 deg. ; the highest temperature of the air as recorded at Lewisham was 94 degrees." HEALTH Of LONDON DURING TIE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The deaths in London, which in the previous week had f =lien as low as 963, rose in the week ending Saturday, June 19, to 1160. In the 10 years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 958 ; but, as the present return is for a population which has annually increased, it can only be compared with the average when the latter has been raised in pro portion to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,053. The result of the comparison is that the deaths of last week exceeded by about 100 the number which the average rake of mortality for the middle of June would have produced. Taking the results of the last two weeks, it ap pears that deaths from zymotic diseases rose from 253 to 286 ; those from " local diseases" from 323 to 422 ; the " developmental," from 127 to 142 ; violent deaths from 23 to 70 ; while deaths from " constitutional diseases" (comprising phthisis, scrofula, hydrocephalus, dropsy, cancer, &c.), ex hibited in the two weeks the same number—viz., 227. The increase under violence is due to casual irregularity in the registration of deaths of this de scription ; the increase in the zymotic class of dis eases, and propably tosome extent under other heads, is the effect of the late extreme heat of the weather. Measles, scarlatina, and hooping-cough showed but slight change,while typhus (including common fever) tose from 21 to 41, and diarrhoea from 18 to 31. Diarrhoea, however, exceeds the corrected average only in a trifling degree. Two young children died of cholera. Deaths from disease of the heart in creased from 31 to 49 ; those from pneumonia from 39 to 51 ; disease of the liver from 11 to 21 ; those of the kidneys from Bto 24. Five deaths from scar.; latina occurred in the sub-district of St. Peter's, Wal worth ; 4 in that of Lambeth Church (2d part). Of four nonagenarians who died in the week the oldest was a man aged 98 years. Last week the births of 729 boys and 752 girls, in all 1,481 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,448. COMPOSITION OF THE WATER SUPPLIED BY EIGHT OF THE METROPOLITAN WATER COMPANIES IN Mai, 1858. The amount of impurity is expressed in degrees, each degree being equivalent to 1 grain of foreign matter present per gallon. The analyses were made by Dr. Thomson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hos pital.

The present table, when compared with that for the preceding month, exhibits a greater equality in the composition of the waters generally, inconsequence of the absence of rain, which has a tendency to augment the impurity. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.803 inches. The highest barometrical reading was 29.99 inches on Saturday. The mean temperature of the week was 67.7 deg., which is 8 . 5 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as deter= mined by Mr. Glaisher). On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday the mean daily temperature was from 13 deg. to 17 deg. in excess of the average. On Wednesday, which was the hottest day, the thermometer in the shade rose to 94.5 deg. ; the lowest point was 61.5 deg. The lowest tempera ture in the week was 48.5 deg. on Saturday, and the extreme range was therefore 46 deg. The mean daily range was 27.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera ture was 10.1 deg. ; the mean degree of humidity of the air was 69 ; on Wednesday it was only 56, complete saturation being represented by 100. On that day the wind was in the east ; during the rest of the week it was in the south-west. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 69.6 deg., or about 2 deg. higher than that of the air, and so far favourable to evaporation. Some rain fell on the afternoon of Friday. THE PRESS PROSECUTIONS. We accept the almost ludicrous termination of the Palmerston-Napoleon press prosecutions, as a guarantee that no future English Ministry will rashly tamper with the national privilege of fret moral and political discussion at the instigation of a foreign Government. It does not appear that any other course was open to the present Adminis tration than that which they have pursued. • True, the farce of exacting a promise from the defendants to withdraw their pamphlets from circulation might have been dispensed with. La-ge impressions of them have been sold off ; the interest which at first attached to them has died away; their circulation had alr, ady ceased under the simple operation of the lapse of time. The best way to prevent the re suscitation, of the irritating coßtroversy to which they related would have been, by quietly dropping the prosecutions, to have allowed them to remain forgotten. Still if two powerful Governments can be gratified by such an unreal concession, it wo u ld be hypercritical to object to it. The moral of this euthanasia of two press prosecutions is :—The Bench, the Bar, and a . Tory Governm en t, h ave re coguised the right of private citizens to publish all historical facts, and to argu e a ll moot po i n t s o f morals and politics, provided this is done sincerely with a view to elicit truth, and not to gratify malice by injuring a third party. Moreover, a Tory Go vet ntnent has set the example of accepting the pubic declaration of the accused, through his counsel, that he was not animated by criminal mo tives as a sufficient proof of his innocence. This olemn recQgnitiou of the liberty of the English press will, we are certain, not be abused. The liberty of the press means simply the liberty of all and every portion of the public to use the press for the assertion of its opinions. This public opi n i on speaking through the press is a much , more effective check upon press abuses than any laWs or tribunals can be.—Morning Paper. There were no gold operations at the Bank yesterday. Of the 111,680/. in gold, by the Cambria, delivered to day, the 50,090 sovereigns will be retained iu England and the remainder will be sent abroad.

ALLEGED CRUELTY ON BOARD AN AMERIIIA.N Sine Three seamen, natives of England, came before Mr. O S to complain of cruelties practised towards them by 1 0. crew of the ship Rolle of the Sea, on her voyage from tie cutta to London.

LAW INTELLIGENGE.--(rhis Day) COURT OF CHANCERY. APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-AUSTIN V. WYO. This wz-s an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls, allowing the plaintiff only the profits of the P ll °- ner,hip business from the date when be gave notice , (which was only two days) previous to his retirement as a partner of the company. The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, sai d that the goodwill of a solicitor's business could not easily be ascertained, and an agreement to sell it could not be specifically enforced. The retirement from the partner ship, and abstaining from practice as a solicitor within. 100 miles of London, was not a benefit conferred on ant particular partner, but on the partnership general ; and when the partners were not agreed upon the value/ it was difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain what it was. His Lordship affirmed the decree of the Master of the Roll 9, and dismissed the appeal, withicoate. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir - W. Pagitlkiiod.) BARLOW V. BARLOW. < • c- 7.4 This was a bill filed by the late Mrei r p arrow, w ith consent of her next friend, for specific performance of certain covenants in her favour in an anti-nuptial cow tract of indenture entered into between her and her late husband. It was alleged that- she had given up the benefits secured to her by this Indenture in favour o f , her husband, and agreed to accept i n li e u thereo f a provision under his will. The provision made to. her under the will turned out to be worthless, and her son and executors claimed a right to return to the provisions under the indenture. The point of contention was, whether her heirs and executors were bound to concur with the trustees under her husband's will in applying for an entry to the Lord of the Manor, and pay the expense of fines and recoveries of the land' conveyed by her to her husband, under articles degree' went and indenture before their marriage, in favour of his trustees. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, i n de• livering judgment, considered that her heirs and exec** tors were hound to concur with the husband's trustees in applying for and obtaining an entry with the Lord of the Manor of the lands in question, and to pay the . expense of raising the same by mortgage or otherwise. His Honour considered that Mts. Barlow had given ap all her rights under the indenture, and elected to take the provisions under her husband's will instead. His Honour decreed accordingly.—Costs to be adjusted on the minutes, and accounts to be taken at chamber.. with liberty to apply. , POLICE INTYLLEGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF WELL-KNOWN FASHIONABLE 1 3 1" . POCKETS.—Elizabeth Dison and Mary Ann Mack, t" elegantly-dressed females, were charged by Cole, 31744-• detective officer, with attempting to pick the pockets of ladies the previous afternoon, in the Haymarket. On the prisoners were found two pocket knives of • description used by omnibus thieves, and it is believed OS prisoners are connected with some well-known omnibtl. robbers. Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active officer, said that 011 the previous afternoon Le saw the two prisoners in Pic9 ll. • dilly, and knowing them to be thieves, he watched thets into the Black Horse, in Tichborne-street. After they higl been in there a quarter of an hour, Mackcame to the dour. but, observing him, went in again. He (Cole) then 0, 0 ! up against a shop, and shortly after they both came 9 6 ' and proceeded down the Haymarket, where he saw 1111" . , at the corner of Non is -street, attempt to pick the peel' of a lady who was looking in the window of Mel'' Adams; ironmongers, at the corner of the street. As WA as they left he spoke to the lady, and then followed the° into Charles-street, where he saw Mack again make attempt upon a lady's pocket. He then called 43 C, aad took them into custody, and found upon them two pole knives. Mack said if he would lit her go she would I _ ° , into the country. Mack had been convicted a t thiaLOOlV w before. They had-also..given false adxlrekreil; A constable proved a conviction against Mack. Mack denied that she had ever been there before.
