The India Bill has passed through Committee, an the report will be brought up this evening. It will be brought before the Upper House within the present week. There will thus be ample time for their Lordships to bestow the full and complete consideration on the measure which it 4 va&t importance so eminently merits. The House of Commons greeted the virtual conclusion of its labours with much cheer ing, and there is every reason to hope that its sound practical enactments may receive the Royal assent, and that Noble Lords and Right Honour able and Hounurable Gentlemen may be per mitted to enjoy their holidays "by mountain lake, or sea," even before the end of the present month. The idea of proceeding by resolution was pecu liarly felicitous, and, as we predicted, has saved touch time and trouble. The feelings and wishes of the House were carefully ascertained. There was no haphazard legislation—no proceeding with muffled vision. The salient points were carefully examined, and the course best calculated to advance the interests both of England and of India, eventually adopted. It is true that there was some delay in the first instance, but the sub sequent progress made ample amends therefor. If it seemed to be slow to some impatient spirits, it was, unquestionably, sure, and there seems to be no reason to doubt that the bill, which caused so much excitement, and on which the Palmer stonians fervently hoped to discover a means of tripping up the Government, will be quietly passed into law without disturbance of any kind. The factious opposition has, generally speaking, been withdrawn. There are, however, parties who still strive to excite the jealousy of the here ditary legislators, by hinting that they have been slighted, in not receiving sufficient time for dis cussing the propositions. This is unmitigated nonsense, the mere ebullition of spite, engendered by the numerous and decisive defeats that the party have received. They cannot now wound I or injure their opponents, but they can still rail and grumble—can give vent to their irritation in words, since they are unable to do so with more formidable weapons. That their Lordships gene rally, or many of their number, will follow the petulant suggestions, cannot for a moment be an ticipated. Although justly jealous of their own ! dignity and independence, there is nothing in the present case to excite that jealousy. It was required that the bill should be introduced on or before the 15th July : it will be so nearly a week earlier. Many matters of great importance, cal- THE SUN, LO ND ON, TUESDAY culated to occasion prolonged (ffscussion, have been brought forward at a later period of the session and eventually carried ; and there is cer tainly no reason why the Government of India Bill should not receive the indulgence which their Lirdships have invariably been willing to accord to other measures. It was yesterday our painful duty to announce a temporary failure in laying down the Atlantic Submarine Telegraph. That it is only temporary, we are convinced, but it may be necessary to remind those prophets of evil, who rejoice in the calamity, that no truly great enterprise was ever accomplished without casualti*. Every precau tion that could be suggested had been taken. Nothing that could conduce to success had been omitted. Still that there has been a failure, and that delay and expense will be occasioned thereby, is undoubted. But that cannot lead to the aban donment of the glorious undertaking. The BRUCE had been twelve times defeated before his crown ing achievement at Bannockburn. He had been a fugitive with a price set on his head, but he knew the value of perseverance, and eventually tri umphed. Such unflinching perseverance, such indefatigable energy, is indispensable in any great undertaking, and the Directors are bound to di-- play it if they desire to receive and merit the con fidence of their constituents. Bat they must profit by the salutary, although painful, lessen. They must look to the causes of failure, and see whether they cannot be removed. The separation of the cable into different vessels greatly enhanced the difficulty and risk of the undertaking. Even two ships, such as the Niagara and Agamemnon, wore scarcely adequate to the gigantic task. They had not stowage room either for their proportion of the cable, or for the neces sary coals. Au admirable suggestion has been made by the Times, which we gladly insert in our columnF. It suggests that the Leviathan, which could carry the whole cable from land to land, with an ample supply of coals, and any number of scientific per sons, should be resorted to. We insert the ipsissima verba of the leading journal. They are as follow: "The Leviathan is as yet only a shell. Except ing that it has not even its engines on board, it is exactly in that state to which, at great difficulty and cost, the Agamemnon and Niagara have been reduced for this service. In the Leviathan any length of cable that could possibly be required could be held and stowed in the manner most con venient for paying out. The pitch of that huge vessel will be quite inconsiderable in the roughest seas, and the strain on the cable will therefore be uniform. Sufficient length may be taken on board for the most lavish use of the cable, even to twice the distance from one shore to the other. It is plain we must not be stingy of material, if we are to succeed. The ingenious writers who enlighten the public on the wonders of the deep, tell us that currents carry the cable miles out of the ship's course before it touches the bottom ; that, ever so freely payed out, the cable probably hangs in festoons from ono submarine mountain top to another ; and that, even if the cable is so fortunate as to escape the sharp edge of a precipice, mere suspension between two distant points may stretch it beyond its strength. If this be so, the more cable we have, within reason, the better. No ship afloat but the Leviathan could carry an ample supply for the whole distance. It alone could carry coals suffi cient for paying out the whole cable at the rate of five, four, or three miles an hour, if necessary, and could afford, even in the midst of the process, to make any delays that might be thought ad visable." No addition is required to these conclusive arguments. The Leviathan can do the work, and the Leviathan is fortunately idle at this moment, so that her services may be readily made avail able. It will be an admirable opportunity for testing her capabilities. There is no elaborate fitting up that should be taken away before the commencement of the work. Everything is in the proper state for the double experiment. We need not expatiate on the extraordinary advantages to trade and commere from the oppor tunities of obtaining early, we might say instantaneous, information respecting the state of the transatlantic markets. On this point, the following observations of the Times will meet general approval. It says :—" If one man could send an instantaneous mes sage across the Atlantic, he would speedily make his fortune at the expense of all the rest of the trade. If forty men divided the monopoly, those forty Neould divide the profits of the trade. Early intelligence is not enough. The earliest oppor tunity of sending messages and orders is not less necessary. Through the aid of our own columns every merchant in London might know the state of prices all over the United States, and, indeed, al over the whole,American continent, every day, or every hour of the day ; but that knowledge would be unavailing if the merchant had not also the means of sending to his correspondents orders founded upon it. Hun dreds at both ends would be pressing not only to receive messages, but to send them ; and 110 doubt the great bulk, perhaps 99-hundredths, of the messages transmitted would be of this private and uninteresting character. One cable would not do it. The Leviathan might be constantly employed at the weak, till cables enough had been laid down for the demands of commerce." Should this be correct, and we see not how it can be controverted, there is room for many companies, and the Leviathan m a y pay h an d some dividends, although not in the way anticipated by its projectors. GO VERNMENT EMIGRATION. — The Government emi grant ship Golconda, 1,1 24 tons, Capt. Dodson, sailed from Liverpool on Friday, the 2 d inst., for Sydney, N ew South Wales, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent John Carlton Bury, with 22 married couples, 149 single men, 134 single women, 21 boys between the ages of 1 andl2, 24 girls between the same ages. 5 female infants, and 1 male, making a total of 373 souls, equal to 3401 statute adults. DUTIES IN THE CoLONIES.—A return of the duties payable under colonial acts on goods imported into and exported from the British colonies was published yeßter d.,y (in continuati on o f P ar li amentary paper No. 2 85 , o f session 1856). It fills 62 pages. The authorities of Monte Video hava ordered the working of the gas works from which the city is lighted to be discontinued, believing that the introduction apt; is in some way connected with the existence of yellow I , fever. LADY BIILWEIt LYTTON. --We understand, anon good authority, that the friends of Lady Bulwer Lytton, who has recently been placed in a lunatic asylum tear Lon don, are about to take steps to establish her sanity by an appeal to the legal tribunals of the country.—m ornmy Post. _ _ EXTRA MAIL TO INDIA.—The following notice wai limed from the General Post-office, yesterday, viz : " A mail for the Mediterranean, Egypt, the Mauritius, and India, will be made up in the General Post-office on the morning of the 10th inst., to be conveyed from South ampton in the Sultan steamer. AMERICAN LETTERS.—The steam-ship Kangaroo will sail from Liverpf of for New York on Wednesday with mails.

The Avon, which left Southampton on the 9th ult. with the outward *Brazil mail, arrived at St. Vincent, Cape de Verde, on the morning of the 20th ult., tv • days before her time ; and. the Tamar, which left Rio de Janeiro on the Bth ult., with the homeward Brazil wail, arrived at St. Vincent on the 214 ult., three days before her time. The Avon was coaling when the Tamar ar rived, and it has never happened before that the out7 , a-d and homeward Brazil etearners met at St. Vincent, The Tamar was placid in quarantine, and o'lliged to wait till the Avon had coaled. The Royal Mail Company are about to make arranzernente to enable both steamers to coal at one time at S-. Vincent. INTENDED VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO CHB.RBO VEG. A Paris letter, in the Journal du Havre, says " The Emperor, it is said, has written from Plom bieres to Queen Victoria to invite her Majesty to attend the fetes at Cherbourg ; and it is affirmed that the Queen has replied by telegraph that h. r Majesty accepts the invitation, and will be at Chei bourg on the 7th of August, accompanied by Pi ince Albert and the Earl of Malmesbury, Minister of Foreign Affairs. This news, of which we can gua rantee the bona fide character, proves that the un derstanding between France and England, if it were ever shaken, is at present as intimate as ever." coußr CIRCULAR. DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FOR ALDER SHO r. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princ?sses Alice and Helena, left Buckingham Palace, at half-pact four o'clock yesterday afternoon, for the Camp at Aldershot.

Sir Colin Campbell has promulgated the following general order to the army in the field, dated Camp, Bareilly, 10th May, 1858 : The Commander in• Chief bas received the most gra cious commands of her Majesty the Queen to communi cate to the army the expression of the deep interest felt by the Queen in the exertions of the troops, and the successful progress of the campaign. Sir Colin Campbell has delayed giving executio❑ to the Royal commands until he was able to announce to the army that the last stronghold of rebellion had fallen before the persevering attempts of, the troops of her Majesty and the Hon. East India Company. It is impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to express adequately his sense of the high honour done to him in having been chosen by the Queen to convey her Ma jesty's most gracious acknowledgments to the army, in the ranks of which he has passed his life. The Commander-ia•Chief ventures to quote the very words of the Queen : " That so many gallant, and brave, and distinguished men, beginning with ono whose name will ever be remem• bered with pride, with Brigadier-General Havelock, should have died and fallen, is a great grief to the Queen. "To all European as well as native troops who have fought so nobly and so gallantly, and amongst whom the Queen is rejoiced to see the 93d, the Queen wishes Sir Colin to convey the expression of her great admiration and gratitude." Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Duchess of Cambridge yesterday.

On Saturday the young earl, in charge of the usual attend ante, left Staflord-house for Lilleshall, the rnarqui:s'e seat in Shropshire, and appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health. Oa Sunday be was attacked by illness, and according to a telegram received yesterday after noon from Ltlleshalc expired yesterday morning. The earl was born in 1850, and his premature death has plunged the members of the noble house of Sutherland into the deepest grief.

DEATH OF SIR THOS. WM. BLOMEFIELD BART.—We have to record the demise of the above respected baronet, who died at Brighton on Wednesday last. Sir Thomas was born March 4, 1791, and married Nov. 11, 1819, Salome, daughter of M r. Samuel Kekewich, of Peamore, Devon. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father, Gen. Sir Thos. Blomefield, who received the dignity for his ser +ices as commander of the Artillery at Copenhagen in 1807, in August, 1824. The deceased is succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, the Rev. Thomas Eardley Wilmot, horn in 1820, and married first in 1844 to Mies Maitland, third daughter of the late General Sir Peregrine Maitland, the niece of the Duke of Rich mond ; and, secondly, in 1853, to the eldest daughter of the Rev.

The deputation consisted of Messrs. R. N. Fowler, L. A. Chymerovzow, Edmund Fry, G. L. Neighbour, F. W. Chesson, and the Rev. H. Richard. The secretary read the memorial. The views of the deputation were urged by various speakers. Lord Carnarvon said that all the subjects to which the memorial had alluded were now under the serious consideration of Sir E. B. Lytton ; but he should not fail to direct his special attention to those parts of the memorial which related to West Africa and the C ape , With regard to the latter colony, he was happy to say that the intelligence received by the last mail was somewhat re-assuring, and gave reason to hope that the hostilities between the Orange Free State and Moshosh would die out much sooner than had previously been anticipated. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S BANKRUPTCY BlLL.—This bill covers 158 pages of paper, and contains 461 clauses. The following are the principal alterations proposed :- 1. The distinction between traders and non-traders is to be done away with. 2. The county court judges are to have the powers of commissioners in bankruptcy, but their duti es are not d e fi ne d. 3. The messengers a n d brokers are to be d one awa y with, and their duties per. formed by the official assignees and ushers. 4. The official assignee is to be paid by eel try - for all such duties as be performs in that capacity, but be may be appointed creditors' assignee if the creditors be so minded. 5 The creditors are to appoint an assignee of their o wn, and fix his remuneration, and they are also to appoint three in spectors to overlook and advise him. 6. The distinction in classification of certificates is abolished, but the corn wist.ioner is still to retain the power to deprive a debtor of a certificate, to suwend it, or to annex conditions to it. 7. Estates may still be wound up under deeds of arrangement ; but this mode seems only applicable where all the creditors rfikle in Great Britain: 8. Bankrupts, for certain offences, are liable to imprison- • ment, and the commissioner has the powers of a magis- I trate to enable him to commit them for trial. EVENING, J OLY 6, 1858. f.I'I'EST NEWS. THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS . (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. The Indus steamer, Capt. Evans, has arrived. She left Alexandria, June 21st ; Malta, 25th; Gibraltar, 30th ; and brings 132 passengers, among whom is Mr. Buckley, one of the three survivors of the blowing up of the magazine at Delhi. Her Majesty's steamer Royal Albert, flag of Admiral Lord Lyons, sailed from Gibraltar, for Spithead, at 3 p.m. on the 30th. Marlborough and Curlew left at Gibraltar. Exchange on the 26th on London, 50 ; Paris, 5.28 ; Marseilles, 5.30. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. A fete took place on Sunday evening at the Cha teau of Meudon. The Empress bad accepted the invitation of Prince Jerome to dine at the palace, and numerous invitations were issued for the even ing. A brilliant display of fireworks took place on th e terrace, which were visible at a great distance. A Paris letter dated Saturday, in the Nord ; says : " I believe that I can affirm that, in the seventh confer ence held this day, Lord Cowley was to have presented a counter•project to that of France, relative to the reorgani sation of tha Principalities. That document has Leen drawn up with a view of conciliation, au i in order to prevent any painful rupture, France having resolved on withdrawing in the event of the policy of Austria continu ine: to dominate in the deliberations. The counter-project of England entirely sets aside the political union of the two provinces ; but it accords serious guarantees of liberty, and establishes on more independent and national bases the central committee which is to unite the two Moldo-Walla chian Divans, which committee is to be composed of mem bers elected by the two Danubian Assemblies. Ido not enter into longer details, but it will be seen that the pro ject of Lord Cowley approaches the ideas of the French Government. Surprise therefore need not be felt if the irritation which, for some days, prevailed amongst the plenipotentiaries has begun to calm down. Baron de Hub ner and Fuad Pacha had on Friday a private conference of more than three hours' duration. The counter-project bad been communicated to them, and they examined it in every respect. Austria has reflected on the consequences of the policy a outrance which she has followed for some time, and before the meeting of the plenipotentiaries, the rumour was generally credited that, in the conference, Baron de Hubner would be much less difficuit to treat with." • BOURSE, July s.—The following were the latest quotations 4. per Cents 96 50 Do. end month 3 per Cent. ..... 68 85 Do. end month 6B 35 Bank Shares.._ 3035 Credit Mobilier Do.

The 82d anniversary of the declaration of the indepen• dence of the United States was celebrated by a banquet held last night at the London Tavern, and attended by about 150 American gentlemen resident in this metro polis. The banquet was presided over by General Robert B. Campbell, United States Consul at London, on whose right sat Mr. Dallas, the American Minister. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, said that the event which they had met to celebrate was the poli tical natal day of their country—a day the importance of which to the progress of the human race was not ex ceeded by any other since the commencement of the Christian era. (Cheers.) The feeling of every Ame rican citiz -n towards the Government and the people of England was one of friendship and goodwill. The American nation had hitherto recognised England as the mother from whom they had sprung. But the day had at length arrived when the United States should regard Great Britain not so much as a mother as an elder and most cherished sister. (Cheers.) Fur each other's griefs they should sorrow, for each other's happiness they should strive, and in each other's successes they should heartily rejoice. (Cheers.) The gallant Chairman concluded by giving "The day we celebrate," which was drunk with much enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN nex; gave "The President cf the United States," taking -occasion to observe that though Mr. Buchanan had been elected upon a party platform, he had 'yet by his broadly national views, his wisdom, energy, and fixedness of character, not only happily dis posed of all sectional agitation, but brought his coun try through the Kansas, the Mormon, and the right of search difficulties. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the Americans were universally distinguished for their appreciation of and their respect for the female character; and he was convinced that every American present, and every loyal Englishman— and where would they find an Englishman who was not loyal ?—would join with heartfelt pleasure in drinking the health of the highest lady in that land, who was an honour to her station, to her sex, and to her country, over which she bad shed innumerable blessings by the moral influence of her pure and exalted character. (Cheers.) He begged to gise them "The health of Her Majesty Queen Victoria." The tcast was received with an enthusiasm quite equal to that displayed by an assembly of Eoglishmen, the company remaining standing up while the band played " God save the Queen." The next toast, "T. the memory of Washington," was drunk in solemn silence. The CHAIRMAN, in a complimentary speech, then gave "The health of Mr. Dallas, and the diplomatic repre sentatives of the United States," which was greeted with loud applause. His Excellency Mr. DALLAS rose to acknowl:dge the toast, and was received with loud cheers. He said,—Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens, I had promised myself, in consequence of continued illemalth for some time past, to a'estai4 from anything so exciting as public speaking; but it is, unfortunately, the 4th of Jaly—(laughter) —and I find it impossible to remain silent on such a day alter you have received the mention of my humble name so kindly and so cordially. A few years ago it woul I have Ines thought discourteous and intrusive had one or more American citizens ventured upon the celebration of the 4th of July, 1776, in the great city of London. The old wounds were still fre b, old feeliege still survived, and the citizens of the United States who were here had the good taste as well as forbearance not to do that which might have been iniscons!rued so as to be disagreeable to those among whom they were residing. (Hear.) But now, gentlemen, we feel much more at ease. The principles of the American revolution have gone on conquering and to conquer. (Cheers.) They have received the ap probation, cordially but certainly, of all the wise and good in England as well as in the United S--ater. They have become perfectly well understood—they have beaten down the impressions of hostility which, being misunderstood, they originally created. The principles of the American revolution are acceptable here as they are at home. (Cheers.) The men of our heroic days— ( ur Washington% cur Jeffersons, our Madisons, and our heroesi in the battle-field, are known in England almost as well as they are in ttse United States, and are honoured as much here as there. (Cheers.) Tne progress, thee, of the rainciples of the revolution of the United S.ates has been striking, and has produced that to which I have a!ready adverted—the propriety of our meetirg to celebrate the origin of those principles in London as well as elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) Do not for a raiment suppose that I am availing myself of a detached part of the tea-t just given in order to draw the conclusion that the recognition of those principles has been brought about in any degree by the diplomacy of the United States. ("Hear," and a laugh.) The truth is—and you are, per haps not aware of the fact—that we have no American diplomacy. (A. laugh.) In England and on the Conti nent diplomaoy is a lifelong career. With us it is nothing of the sort. American diplomacy, compared with European diplomacy, may be likened to the militia as contrasted with the regular army. (Laughter.) To be sure, in the United States,from the outset, we have always had a par.iality for the militia. Hear, hear.) Our first military achieve ments were gained by men among whom were some of the rawest possible militia. ('. laugh.) And it has so happened, probably by accident, that our militia has over and over again proved equal to the best regulars of Europe. (Cheers.) It is in that way, perhaps, that the diplomacy of the United States has been able to do e;rue• thing towards giving expansion and popularity to the principles of the American revolution. Althon,;l2 our Ministers abroad have been drawn from the ranks of private and professional life, on very many occasions, at the most distinguished Courts. of Europe and throughout the world, in conflict, or rather in argument, with the most refined diplomatists of any country, those mili tiamen of diplomacy have achieved remarkable sue-- ee,s. (Hear, hear.) I might refer, if I were dis- posed to empty upon you the archives of the Ame rican Legation here or elsewhere—(a laugh)—to many striking instances of this kite' ; and as I propose to CUE elude my remarks by sugge Ming a particular name to your approbation, it may be proper to say that the list of our American diplomatists, beginning with li,njamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Munro, and Wm. Whitney, includes a long array of illustrious " militia diplomatist.,," who have left behind them a record of the most glow ng and gratifying character. (Cheers.) At this very Court s-ine of my predecessors may be compared to the very best of the drilled cohorts of European diplomacy. There is one little comment, which is to a certain extent connected with American diplomacy, on which I will say a word. You know that we have recently had some little difficultiea on the coasts of the United States and in the West Indian Sea— (hear, hear)--a matter with which, as one of the militiamen in the diplomacy of the United Stares, I was lately charged. Now, without referring to that question more closely, it is a point w4icli is essentially connected with one of the fundamental prnciples of the American revolution—that principle being the necessity et maintaining on behalf of the great American people, as a great community, the in dependence of their flag. (enters.) Well, I am not going to argue the question as to visit and search. It Las been over and over again, for years back, „ - argued and re-argued. But 1 sl ould like on the 4th of Ju'y to announce to my fellow-corm ; .rym-n that visit and search in regard to American , vessels on the high seas in time of peace is frankly and finally ended. (tremendous cheering, the whole com pany rising and manifesting the liveliest enthusiasm.) While, gentlemen, I am able to announce this gratifying fret, I . think it ought also to be accompanied by the assurance that the termination cf that for which we have struggled for neatly hall a century has been brought about with a degree of honourable candour and fair deal ing on the part of the• British Government which is worthy of every acknowledgment en oir part. (Loud cheers.) With a view to draw these ramarks to a c'ose, I beg to offer you as a toast the name of one of the earliest representatives alike of the principles of the American revolution and of the constitution of the United States—l mean Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk in solemn silence. Mr. R. W. KENNARD then proposed "Young Arne ric► and Old England, divided in 1776, united in 1858.” Mr. G. F. TRAIN responded to the sentiment. He complained that America and the Americans had been caricatured and misrepresented by the English press—a cnarse whic'a inevitably led to mutual irritation and entrangement. America and England must either be friends or foes; a medium attitude was impossible to them. India, Aewralia, Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, Perim, were some of the stolen gems that ornamented the British crown. If, then, Columbia cast admiring eyes towards Cuba, Central America, Mexico, and the Sandwich 'Wands, she was only walking in the footprints of her illustrious predecessor. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) E•gland was the king of Filibusters—Hengist and Horsa, the Saxon robbers, were her models. America thus far was but a petty prince ; but when they Filibure , tared between themselves the devil would be the standard-bearer. (Laughter.) For many years it had been tne popular belief that America had been using England's money. He thought they could turn the tables, and prove that England had been using America's money. Take one interee, their iron roads. While England had been buiiding her Houses of Parliament, America had completed 27,500 miles of railway, casting in round numbers 300,000,0001. England during the same time, had made but 9,000 miles, costing the sane amount of money. Now, during the crisis, the entire debt of America to England, Govern ment, State, city, corporation, railroad and individual obligationa much of which was not due fur 10 years, was 80,000,0001. Therefore the amount for roads paid by the Americans themselves was 220,000,0001. Three per cent, on 80,000,000/. was but 2,500,0001. per annum. Let them reflect, and they would admit that America had been the golden egg. (Hear.) After dwelling upon the intimate commercial and moral ties which bound the two nations together, Mr. Train concluded an eloquent address amid loud applause. Among the other toasts were "The Consular Service of the United States," "American Literature," "The rcautile Marine of the United States." "The Mer cantile Marine of the United Kingdoir," &c. After exhausting a very long list of "sentiments" and spending a very couvivial evening tee party broke up at a late hour. ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDS'NCE. —As the 4th of July occurred tnis year on Sunday, the Arne, ica resident in Liverpool celebrated the anniversary of declaration rf American lu,lependence yesterday (Mon day). Flags were hoisted on all the American shipping in port, and over the consulate. At right there was a numerou-ly attended dinner at the Adeiphi Hotel, and a special fete at the Zoological Gardens.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day ) HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEALS. MORGAN AND ANOTHER V. MORRIS ET AL EX PARTE AS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS. This was an appeal from a decieion of the Second Division of the Court of Session in Scotland altering the verdict of the jury finding that Alexander was not heir at law of the late John Morgan, of Coate's-crescent, Edinburgh, and that Alexander and James Morgan were not his next of kin. The Lord Chancellor said that the alteration on the verdict by the Court of Session was cually uncertain as the verdict itself. His lordship ordered a new trial and dismissed the appeal. Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Wensley dale entirely concurred. MOWATT V. BLAKE. This was an appeal from an order of the Mater of the Rolls, relieving the plaintiff, Mr. Blake, from the purchase of 3,000 shares in the Portsmouth Railway Company, on the ground of fraud. The Lord Chancellor said that the plaintiff had entirely failed to make out a case of misrepresentation and fraud on the part of the appellant, in the sale of these shares to him. They wore not sold to him as unappropriated or scrip shares. They were sold as allotted shares, and be either knew that or might have known it. Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Wens leydale entirely concurred. _ _ _ The Lord Chancellor reversed the order of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs. HI'MAHON V. SIR T. 13. LENNARD, BART. Mr. Justice Wightman delivered in writing the opl nions of the consulted judges in this case, which was ordered to be printed and laid before their lordships of the House of 14.)rda before delivering judgment on this appeal. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Bef , re the Recorder. POLICE INTEILL/GENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—John Lloyd Lanson, a re- F pecable king man, was charged under the following singular circumstances : Ann Brightman, servant to Mrs. King, widow, of 32, Half-Moon-strect, said the prisoner came to the house about seven o'clock on the previous evening, and asked what apartments were to let. She showed him there And told him the price was two guineas a week. He said he could not give more than 1/. 15s. She said the could not take that as her mistress was out. Ho then asked for water to wash his hands, and afterwards asked for some mutton chops and tea, and she supplied him with some tea and eggs and haw. He said he wanted to sty at once as he had just come from Scotland. When her mistress came home she asked her to go tip to the prisoner, and soon after she heard a loud noise, and the prisoner say, "You'll murder me for 6d." The prisoner asked the witness if she knew the obli• gation of an oath, and as the witness said she did, but could not clearly explain, the prisoner said he should not ask her any more questions, but put at least fifty to her, most of them being totally irrelevant, and many of an impertinent nature. Mrs. King was then called and, said that on entering the room by request of her servant, the prisoner said his name was Lanclett, and gave as a reference the name of Sir Thos. Forbes, Clapham Common. A gentleman who had been out with her for a walk hearing an alter cation, owing to her being dissatisfied with prisoner, came up, and the prisoner then began abusing him, - and using the moat insulting language. Ho went to the wind )w, opened it and began addressing the people, and created a mob round the door. Witness went for ' the assistance of a neighbour, and there heard he was turned out of No. 3, Cottage-street. She sent for a policeman and gave him into custody. The prisoner here subjected this witness to a similar cross examination, he having taken notes while she was giving her evidence, till at last he was nearly exhausted, and then desisted, the witness having borne with much patience the innumerable and . rediculous questions put to her. The gentleman was called and corroborated the last witness. . The prisoner then entered into a long rambling de• fence, at the conclusion of which Mr. Beadon said no one would be surprised that had heard the case when they knew the prisoner bad had six monthafor swindling and that he had also been charged with insu!ting females • in the streets. He should order him to find 2 respecta ble bon-nholders to become bail for him in 501. each, ' and himself in 1001. The case lasted nearly two hours and excited great interest. THAMES. INGENIOUS SMUG GLIN G. —Steph en Stoughton, a young gentleman, living at Buda Lodge, Roupell-park, Brixton Hill, Surrey, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling three pounds and two ounces of foreign manufactured tobacco, the duty on which bad not been first paid, and with intent to defraud her Majesty the Queen. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joseph Hicks, A tide surveyor, that on the arrival of the Dolphin steamer from Antwerp, at the St. Katherine's Wharf, the prisoner who was a passenger on board was asked if he bad anything about him liable to duty, and replied by taking from his chest 25 cigars which he handed to the officer, and said that was all he bad. The officer searched his Chest, and finding the interior not so deep as the exterior, succeeded in removing a false bottom, under which he discovered upwards of 300 cigars, weigh ing 3 lbs. 2 ounces. The false bottom was ingeniously constructed, and if the officer had not measured the in side and outside of the chest, the cigars would not have been discovered. Mr. Yardley—What is the duty upon the cigars ? Hicks—The duty is a prohibitory one, 9s. 6d. per pound. That is the duty on all foreign manufactured tobacco. The defendant said what the officer had stated was quite true. He intended the cigars for his own use. Mr. Yardley—No doubt of it, Mr. Haughton, but you ought not to have concealed them. You should have paid the duty upon them. I fine you 4/. The penalty was immediately paid. AMERICAN REVENGE.—Thomas Clark, &seaman be longing to the American ship, Southampton, lying in the East India Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing James Trainer. It appeared that the prosecutor, who came to London in the ship American Congress, bad been staying with a prostitute in an infamous house, 4, Elbow-lane, Shad well, and be quarrelled with the prisoner a week ago and beat him. The prisoner determined to be revenged and armed himself with a knife, with which he attacked the prosecutor as he was standing outside the Crooked Billet public-house, in King David•lane, Shadwell, and made three stabs at him, but only one took effect. The complainant was stabbed in the thigh, and he lost a good deal of blood. There was also a scar on the man's cheek. He had a narrow escape of being killed. The prisoner made a blow at the prosecutor, which struck the clasp of a belt he was wearing, and broke it. The prisoner, a rough-looking fellow who wore nothing but his trousers and shirt, said the prosecutor bad been in the practice of staying on shore for six months or more when he came from New York, and lived with prostitutes. Trainer was also in the practice of beating seamen who would not give him money.- Mr. Yarcll:y had no doubt that Trainer was a profli gate blackguard, but be could not permit such atrocities in the streets of London. The prisoner bad no right to wreak bis vengeance on Clark as he had done. He fined the prisoner 31, and in default of payment, one month's imprisonment. The young King of Oude has arrived in Paris with the object of building a tomb to the late Queen. He has been several times to the Mahomedan burial ground with his architect. The Prince has a professor of French with him. WEST OF FIFE RAILWAY.—Tho West of Fife Railway was formally opened for traffic on Friday.

One of them was a driver on the canal ; another bad • been taken up as a vagrant ; and the third bad gone to a public institution to learn the shoe business under a keeper. A fop is like a cinnamon tree— the bark is worth more than the body. MOTHER.—What comfort there is in the name which gives assurance of a love that can never fail, It is better to have a clear conscience and be threatened, than to have a bad one and be flattered. The Catholic Peerage has received two accessions , during the past week in the persons of Mr. Constable Maxwell, of Everringhain, in the county of York, who has subatantieted his claim to the ancient barony of ferries, and Sir Henry Bedingfield, who also proved hie title to the Viscounty of Grandison. —Dublin Freeman.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.-011 ,S a . turday morning, about half past four o'clock, James Bennett, engine driver of the empty mineral train from Derby to Kiln burst, who fell down an embankment near Chesterfield, died in the Chesterfield Hospital, from the injuries which he received in the accident on the 23i1 June. Yesterday the inquest was returned at the Mid land Hotel, Chesterfield, before Mr. C. S. B. Busby, coroner, on the body of William Hickling, the stoker, and the same jury were also sworn to inquire into the cause of the death of James Bennett, the driver. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughteragainst Ambrose B'ackburn, the signal-man, who was committed for trial at the assizes. THE NEWEST TRICK. —A few days ago a little boy entered the chop of a respectable baker in North Leith, and bought a penny loaf, which he requested the baker woul.f. conceal under the back of his jacket, as he was afraid that a bigger boy, who was waiting outside, would take the loaf from him. This request the baker good naturedly complied with, and on going to the door ha witnessed a lad in full cry after the purchaser of the loaf, till both were out of sight. On returning to his counter, however, the baker found his watch-guard dangling at his breast, minus the watcb.—Caledonian Merelfry.

TAE ROBBERY AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY, A respectably-dressed man, named Dales, was indicted for stealing a parcel, containing 74 half-sovereigns and some silver, the property of the Eastr_Tn Counties Rail- way Company. Mr, Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. T. Atkinson deleaded the prisoner. Mr. J. Scott, employed in the engineers' department, said, I made up a value parcel, containing 74 sovereigns and some silver. It was directed'to Sommerleytown in Suffolk. I gave it to a bay, named Keeble, to carry to the parcel-office of the prisoner, who was a parcel porter at Stratford station. The prisoner keeps a book in which it is his duty to enter all parcels he receives. Sydney Keeble, a boy in the employ of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, said, on the 11th of June last, I received a parcel from Mr. Scott, and, according to his direction, I wont to the parcel's office with it. I did not see the prisoner• but I gave it to his boy, Manser, who signed the parcels book. The parcel was a value parcel. Cross-examined by Mr. Atkinson.—l am in the em ploy of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. They pay me 61. shillings a week. My hours are from 6 to 9. Ad the value parcels are carried to the parcels office 1.37 blys. They know the parcels contain money by the words written on them. Charles Manser—l am subject to the authority of the prisoner. I receive parcels in his absence, and on his arriving at the office, I give them to him. When he (prisoner)' received , value parcels he put them in his desk, of which he kept the key. On the 11th of June, I recollect receiving a parcel with the words "value parcel" written on it from Keeble. I gave it to the prisoner on his return, and he then put it into his' desk, and said it was all right. It was between four and five when I received the parcel. I signed the book brought by Keeble. On the 11th of June, there was no entry in his book as having received a value parcel. A short time after I heard that the parcel had been los'. The prisoner was present when certain inquiries were made respecting the lost value parcel, and he said I might have given him the parcel, but he did not recol lee'. Cross-examined—The room in which Dale's desk is fixed is visited by other persons. Any of the company's servants can go in. I had received directions from Dales al ways when I received a value parcel to enter it in his book. I find no entry on the 11th of June. I had the value parcel about an hour in my possession. I kept it in my pocket. I walked about with it. lam certain I gave Dales the parcel. When both of us are away from the parcel-office the key is hung up in the ticket office, which is fiequented by other persons. I have hung the key up in the office sometitnes,,but Dales generally does so. Itc-examined---The key of the desk in Dale's office was never hung up. The entry book is sometimes locked up. If I had seen the book when I received the parcel I should have - made the entry. Mr. Francorshon—l nut station-keeper at Sommerley town. I ought in the usual course to nave received a parcel on the 12th of June, containing the money to pay the men's wages. The parcel ought to have arrived in the morning. Cross•examined—l am auised by a psr3on named Lacy. He and myself are the only persons at the station. In my absence Lacy Would receive any parcel, but ho would give a signature. Lacy was present at the station on the 12th of Juno. I don't think I was absent at all on the morning of the 12th. Wells, the night inspector of the Stratford station, said on the night of the 11th of June no person entered Dale's office after he left. Charles Copping—l was the guard of the train that ought to have taken the parcel to Soininerleyt. , wn. I did not receive a value parcel from the prisoner en the 11th of June. I did not see Dales at the time. Whenever the prisoner gave me a value parcel he always took my signature. There is no signature of mine in Dales's book on the 11th of Juno as having re ceived a value parcel. Thomas Morgan—l we; guard of the train that fol. lowed Copping's on the 11th of June. I did not receive a value parcel from bins. If I had my signature would appear in his book. Mr. Kemp, the police superintendent of the line, gave evidence as to an inquiry which was instituted in conse quence of the lost parcel. lie said he told the prisoner the parcel had been already traced to him, and he re marked he could not say the parcel was not given to him, but if he had received any such he must have seat it on to its destination. Mr. Atkinson having addressed the jury for the pri soner, who bore an excellent character, The jury returned a verdict of ❑ot guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN. James Davis, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit fiDliO, with intent to defraud Richard Merles. RichErd Modes, a vendor of pies, said that on the 13th of June he was at Graenford-green, when the prisoner came up to him and bought a pie, and paid for it with a florin, which Modes afterwards took to a beer•shop and there it was declared to be a bad one. Oa searching the prisoner two other bad shilLuga were discovered. H e had also 183. in silver and some copper money on his person. The prisoner said he became possessed of the bad money in getting change for a sovereign ; he received a good character. The Common Sergeant, in summing up, remarked that the suspicious circumstance against the prisoner was that he paid for the penny pie with a florin, which happened to be bad, while he had a quantity of copper money in his possession. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenc. d to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. Jane Wiiliaros, a girl about 17 years of age, was ;n -dieted for uttering a counterfeit crown-piece with intent to defraud the Postmaster -General. From the evidence, it appeared that about a moi,th ago a girl came to the office at Charing cross and asked for 6s. worth of postage stamps. On that occasion two half-crowns were placed upon the counter with a genuine shilling on the to of them, and owing to this circumstance the fraud succeeded. In a few days after wards the prisoner entered the office and asked for a similar number of postage stamps, and in payment she placed a crown-piece on the counter and covered it with a good chilling. The crown-piece turned out to be a bad one, and the voice of the girl being recognised as the person who had passed the bad halt-crowns, she was given into custody. The jury found the prisoner guilty ; and a former con- viction having been proved, she was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour.

The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult. contains the Royal decrees which accept the resignations of the retiring and appoint th e n ew Mi n i sters . Th e fi s t . decree thus worded ;--" I admit the resignation of the charges of President of the Council of Minis ters and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Colonies, presented to me by Don Javier de Isturitz, and I remain highly satisfied with the excellent services, the prudent zeal, and the loyalty with which he has fulfilled the said charges." This decree is countersigned by M. Posada Herrera, Minister of the Interior. The second is in these terms : "In consideration of the special qualities pos sessed by Captain-General of the army Leopoldo O'Donnell, Count de Lucena, senator of the king dom, I nominate him President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of War and the Colonies," This is the first time that the colonies have been annexed to the War Department ; they have always heretofore formed part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The decrees accepting the resignations of Gen. Ezpeleta, M. Fernandez de la Hoz, M. Ocana, and Count de Guendulain, as Ministers of War, Justice, Finance, and Public Works, express "much satisfaction with the zeal, loyalty, and intelli gence " which they had displayed. After the de crees appointing the successors to these gentlemen (their names have been given by telegraph) are two which say that resignations of the Ministers of J us tice and Marine offered by M. de Posada Herrera and M. Quesada are " not accepted " (this latter name was erroneously given in one of the tele graphic despatches as M. de Manesada). Lastly, there is a decree which charges the Count de Lu cena with the ad interim administration of Foreign Affairs. Most of the journals have articles on the change of ministry. The semi-official Correspon dencia says that the Queen has the fullest confi dence that the new cabinet will defend constitu tianal ideas, maintain public order, and act in ac cordance with monarchical principles. The Iberia remarks that not a single Progressist figures in toe new cabinet, and it says that that is a proof that the Prcgressists have have not abandoned their principles in order to adopt those of the Moderado party. It adds that the new cabinet will have neither system nor political ideas, and will produce no satisfactory results ; but it promises to await its acts in order to judge them with impartiality. The Espana says that the formation of the new ministry had occa4iowd general surprise ; and it also promi ses to await its acts before judging i t ; but it declares that (' the sit ua ti on i s cr i t i cal, " an d that circumstances require, ca l m an d pru d ence. " The Clamor Pub!ico expresses the opinion that O'Donnell would not have accepted power, if lie had not been authorisel to act in accordance with h s well-known principles. It was believed that the Count de Lucena would snake several changes amongst the Captains-General, and that he would send M. Istui itz to London as ambassador ; also that he would retain the Duke de Ossuna as Minis ter at St. Petersburg. It is noticed as a somewhat singular circumstance that _Marshal O'D. nnell's return to power took place on the anniversary (the 30th June) of the day of the battle of Vicalvaro. A royal decree. in the Gazette, countersigned by the ex-Minister of War, enacts that the Commander of the llallebardiers shall, if a Captain-General in the army, receive 120,000 real a-year, and if a Lieute nant-General, 90,000 ; it also sets forth a series of new regulations for that e vps. " Advices from Revel stat e ," sa y s th e V osb ' s Gazette "that an insurrection has broken o u t i n Esthonia, which had forced several land e d pro prietors t o t a k e re fuge in the above-named town- A body of 60 troops, sent from Revel, were met by 1,000 peasants armed with sticks, pitchforks, and shtrpened poles. An engagement took place in which 15 soldiers and 40 peasants were killed." The German journals a':e much occupied with the concentration of Turkish troops on the frontiers of Montenegro. Most think themselves justified in stating posi►ively that France has officially testified the great displeasure which she should feel at the renewal of hostilities between the Turks and the Montenegrins. The Journal de Framcfort .goes so far as to say that the French Government has declared to the Porte that it should consider any fresh attack as a casusbelli. The Agram Gazette contains the following intel ligence from Bosnia :—" Nothing has lately takea place to justify the fears entertained by the rayabs of the vengeance of the Turks. The Pacha of Bihat and other influential persons have succeeded in calming the Turks, but elements of di s c or d s till exist, and, what is worse, are fomented by f ore i gn agents. several strangers have visited the villag e s of the rayahs, and had endeavoured to p rovo k e them to open the campaign afresh. Their ex F r tions failed, howevef, and they all have taken their &pat tore, with the exception of one individ ua l, a Greek, who is still endeavouring to persuade the insurgent districts to 'torch on Ottoka. The Pacha of Bihat is meanwhile disarming the Christians. Bands of police scour the country and arrest every armed Christian, who is, however, immediately released after having been deprived of his weapon." A Vienna letter, in the Cologne Gazette, says : —"lt is stated that the Duke de Melzi, received by the Emperor of the French previously to his departure fer Plombieres, was charged to deliver to his M a j est y a l e tt er f rom the Archd u k e Ferdi nand-Maxunilian, returning thanks for th e invita tion giv en hi m to be present at the man oeuvres o f the fleet at Cherbourg, and explaining the motives which prevented him from accepting it." Another Vienna letter, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" It now reported that in the event of any hostile movement against Denmark on the part of the Germanic Confederation, neither Austrian nor Pi ussian troops will be employed, but the Saxon, or even the 10th corps d'armee, of which the Contingent of Hoittein forms part."
