The Press prosecutions (a 3 they have been termed) are concluded, and that in a very satis faetOry manner. The trials of Mr. EDWARD TRUELOVE, bookseller in the Strand, and of Mr. STANISLAS SCHERZOWSKI, of Rupert-street, Hay market, for the publication of what were charged to be " false, scandalous, and seditious libels of, touching, and concerning tho EMPEROR of the French," had been specially fixed for yesterday, in the Court of Queen's Beneb, to which they bad been removed by writs of certiorari from the re_ ntral C r i m i na l C ourt. A spec i a l j ury h ad been impannelled, the highest amount of le gal talent employed on either side, and the friends and supporters of a frte press anxiously awaited the result, although confiding in the impartiality of an English Jud g e , who had already done much for the fourth estate, and of au inde pendent jury. The matter, however, was b rought to a sum mary conclusion, thanks to the straightforward and enlightened views talwu by the Attorney- General. He hail not directed the prosecutions ; they htd been instituted by the direction of hi s preck'cessor. According to custom, or rather of6.cial etiquette, it was Lis duty to persevere and kring 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 preveminently distinguished. Tempering justice with mercy, he was satisfied with a declaration from the defendants that they never intended or desired, directly or indirectly, to countenance or encourage the crime of assassination, and were ready to express their regrets, if such construction could be put on any publications to which they had been parties, and that the matters complained of should be withdrawn. It is almost needless to say that these terms were at once accepted by the defendants, and verdicts of not guilty taken in both cases. It is needless now to speculate on what might 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 ignominious defeat, nct perceiving that the disgrace would attach to their own protegges. 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 were commit ting any offence in publishing the pamphlets is 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. There is at length some hope of an improve- went in the postal communications with the Aus tralian colonies. The new Secretary of State for t'oe 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 elm 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 be placed on the most satisfactory foundation. The trade with Australia is now of such magni tude that every facility should be given for speedy and safe communication. Without the certainty of the early transmission of all advices 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 BIILWER 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 fou❑d 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 polutes not merely the bank of the stream, but the whole surrounding atmosphere. It adds ap preciably and, during these hot summer months, fearfully, to the aggregate amount of the morta lity. It holds continually in solution a revolting mass of feculent matter—dying its current of a deep mud-colour—and exhaling an appalling va riety of odours, odours as sickening as they are undeniably pestiferous. In proportion as the population increases the evil we speak of increases w ith 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 ! 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 to—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 3,000,000 !" Since we thus epitomised the whole argument in half-a dozen words—it has been doing so more de plorably, more unendurably than ever. Members of the Legislature—both of the Lords and the Commons—Lave seen the horrible reality and smelt it, intensely, excruciatingly, for themselves. We are sincerely rejoiced that it has been s o . We hope much from the remembrance of the st enc h of tion with every the Thames—and from a repeti rise of a few degrees Fahrenheit ' among the national representatives. We believe that in this matter Parliament may be led by the nose to initiate one grand, obvious, and whole some 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 from attending 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. Balwer-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 predecasors, 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 COiVCERT. These well-known artistes give their annual grand morning concert to-morrow, at the Hanover square Rooms. Madame 'Viardot Garcia, Mr. Sims Reeves, and the other chief musical celebri ties of the season will assist ; and Madame Bassano and Herr Kuhe thensselves 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 concert, which, we have no doubt, will maintain its place among the best and most fashionably attended of the season. MADEMOISELLE TITIESS.—The refusal on the part of the direction of the Viennese Opera to allow the eaten sion of this popular lady'soonge 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 pet formances b&ng 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 a'ready 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 wilt hope, Beethoven's "Fidelio." DEATH OF THE EARL OF 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 beli6ve 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 soveral political essays to the columns of the Oonserva. Live rross, of more than average ability. The earl's ancestors were a branch of the noble house of Ormond, pringing from the third call. By his decease a vacancy occurs among the Irish representative pours in Parlia ment. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. —A mar riage is arranged to take place between Miss Florence Sheridan, daughter of Mr. Brinsley Sheridan, M.P., and the Hon. A. F. Batnfylde, only eon of Lord and Lady Poitinaore. His Majesty the King of the Belgians visited the Duchess of K , -nt, yesterday, at Clarence House, St. James's. On Tuesday, the 6th of July, Mr. Akroyd is to move for leave to bring is a bill to amend the law relating to accidents; and to provide for the more general education of young p9rsons above thirteen and under sixteen years of age employed in factories. Ic is tolerably certain that the Queen of Spain will come to visit the Empresi in the month of August. The Villa Eugenie has room for her Majesty, or for any other ro3al 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 50,000/. Rumour says that Mr. Dallas, the representative of the United States in this country, has tsxpressed his sati3faction with the arrangements of our Government respecting the cruiser question, and it may be expected that in a short time we shall bear the news that this further Fe.roign-office difficulty has been satisfactordy settled by the present occupants of Downing -street. DUBLIN, Tuesday.—The trial of Colonel Browne was resumed this morning. The case for the Crown was closed at noon. Mr. O'llagan opened the case for the defence ; be spoke for nearly four hours, and at the con clu-rion 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 Nismes, where a Protestant preacher, k. Garden, died soon after having bleu bathing in the Canal de la Fontaine. He was ear. ried to his house in a senseless state, and died two hours after. THE CAGLIARI.—The 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 was to have Salerno on the 15;h, 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 10:h Ju'y next all ships arriving in the Kingdom of the Two Sici.ies must he furnished with a clean bill of health from the Neapo litan Consul at the port of loading, and if with Brazdian produce or, board, certifying that it has been duly aired and shipped in free pratique. In the absence of such cer tificate ve,se's will be subjected to quarautine.—.9as.ette. . . GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emi grant ship Escort, 765 tone, Captain D. Smith, which sailed from Plymouth on the 27ili of November, in charge of Sur , ecn-Superintendent C. Weymott, with 21 married coupfes, 113 t,ingle men, 98 Lingle women, 16 boys between the ages of 1 and 12, 16 . giris between the ,Aanie ages, one male it fart, 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. Fiv© deaths (infants) and four births occurred during the voyage. RUSSIAN MERCANTILE STEAM FLEET.—LIVERPOOL, June 21.—The "Ruseian Steam Trading and Naviga tion Company" are rapidly increasing their Black Sea and Mediterranean fl-et, which now numbers 30 or 40 full-powered screw steamers cf large capacity. The last addition to this fl et has just been finished building on the Mersey, having been constructed by Mr. John Laird at his now works at Birkenhead. She is named the Emperor Alexander, and is the second screw steamship ef 1,100 tons and 350 horse-power built for that com pany by Mr. Laird. On Saturday the Emperor Alex ander made a teal trip in the Cnannel, having on board a full load consisting of GOO tons of dead weight, with watertanks full and stores. She attained an average speed of 131 knots, or about 15 mi es an hour, which, being fully loaded is considered highly satidactory. PRIVATE ARMED VESSELS IN THE UNITED STATES. —The iatimation from Washington to the effect that 'Arr. Sickles intended to introduce a bill into Congrces to authorise the arming of private vessels, that they might repel 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 protisions of Vie bill will be. Merchantmen have the right already, which they have always eujoyo, of carrying what ever arms may be deemed necessaiy to protect them from the attaoks of ocean freebooters, and no act of Congress is necessary to cecure such a privilege to them; but there are very few ships that ever avail themselves of the privilege, or that carry anything wore than a small gun, to be used for firing a signal of d:stresa. It can hardly be the intention of Mr. Sickles o propose that the Government shall furnish guns and ammunition to our merchantmen, to be used against . v B'ish 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 whAever fur naval engagements, and in an encounter with a regularly arer,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 misunderatauling with Great; Bri dtaii,nloimn a t c h y e . ordinary s t m t e h t i h n o g d w o o f c p u e g a h e t e taobldeo s a i dt o d bluster, g l u n s i fi t e e r d , and the idea of authorising our private veseAs to carry guns sounCs a good deal more like bluster than a serious deiire to meet an impending danger.—Ncre loll.; Times, June 8.

Fould, Minister of State, has been charged with the administration of the department of Finance during the temporary ab senco of M. Mague. The organisation of Algeria -and the appoint ment of Prince Napoleon as Imperial Lieutenant are once more on the tapis, and this time, we are told, with all but 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 Valliant, 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 a German Princess, probably some distant relative of 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 capital gives some information as to the probable modus operandi in the Moutenegro affair : " Thera will not be any commission ad hoc chtlrged to proceed to the spot, to effect the delimi tation 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 Rusna, 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 Montenegrins in face of their coreligionists of Tur key, and in the same proportion humiliate the Turks, by prod timing the success of the former, and the impossibility imposed on the latter by the will of Europe to avenge the honour of their arms. It would 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 paid to t nerepresentations of the Porte audit hasbeen thought necessary to avoid aggravating the check which the latter has experience ! 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, mid, in concert with their respec , ive 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 lino of frontier drawn out by the engineers will probably become the definitive one." Another let' cr.: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 that Ilhami Pacha, one of the sons-in-law of the 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 e tch 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 those 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.' BELGRADE. A letter from Belgrade of the 14th in the New Prussian, Gazette says :—" The 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 6till holds possession of the ga`es of the town, and M. Fonblanque would be exposed to fresh insults, were he to pass through one of tham. Be kis consequently requested that thew posts should be suppressed. But thePacha declared that he could not take this step without having obtaiLed the authorisation of the Porte, and that he must consequently refer to Constantinople for instructions." AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter iu thel3or7en Halle of Ham burg says :—"linny_clialby alter 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, A us t r ia 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, atc., are completely, she st a t e d, cli_sed to foreign Another Vienna letter in the C)logne Gazette says:—" Reports fr. in the Austrian consuls in the Lower Danube state- that the. present moment is-. very favouraMe fur the import into Turkey of Aus-• triau productions, especially manufactured articles, such productinis having beanie very rare in Turk ish markets.

They aid that the export of wheat had nearly ceased, though vas-, quaatitie3 of last year's crop are still on hand at Schttmla, Rout3chouck, Ras grad, Silistria, and Tultcha." SWEDEN. The following letter from Stockholm enters into some details on the subject of tk . e reciprocal rela tions of Sweden and Norway : " The Prince Regent having closed at Christi ania the s , ssion of the Norwegian •Chambers, is daily expected here. On- his arrival, the Provi sional Givernment, which now rules the kingdom, conformably to our constitution, will lay down the powers with which it has been temporarily invested, and the Prince will resume the direc , ion of public affairs. The parliamentary 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 trifing results. All the efforts attemved by King Oscar and the mem bers of his family to uaite together Sweden and Norway under the same uatonal banner have ocly tended to diecluse in m ore lively and decided colours the jeelcusy o f th e Norw eg ians towards their Scandinavian brethren. The eminently de mocratic cons;ituriou of Norway places it in an in dependent situation as regards the monarch who reigns at Stockholm. Nevertheless, s i n ce the union cf the two nations the people of Norway have never been able to throw a'Ade the fear of seeing themselves sooner or later absorbed. by Sweden, although up to this time no fact has occurred to justify their apprehension. It 113,3 been necessary from the very commencement of the union to completely separate all the great adwiniet'ations, such as the army, the fleet, and even the customs, Loin those of Swed en , and. cases have presented them elves in which the Swedish Government was involved in complications feom which war might have resulted, and in which it could not have se curely relief on the material and financial co-ope ration of Norway, so exclusively occupied were the stWesmen 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. JUNE 23, 1858. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 18th contain nothing of political interest. The heat was excessive at Aranjuez, and the Queen 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 be 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 toauthorise soldiers of his country who served France under the Empire to wear the S. Helena medal." The city of Frankfort, 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 petition to the Diet, praying for a reduction in that number. Thi3 application is founded on the fact that foreigners, 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 banes:), in silver bullion )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. Daring 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 R e p u bli cans 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 iu a most 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 extant 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 thai, too, in the most decided manner.—Nelo York' Courter and Inquirer. THE RIVER THAMES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A few facts regarding our magnificent river. They have cut off the head by sundry dams and locks to obtain a supply of 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 the:metropolis, and every thing which is noxious, instead cf 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 reta'n 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 wa'er a 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 pl in, 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. MANNING THE NAVY. The following latter has been addressed to a contem porary : Sir,—As a Commission is about to take into consi deration the hest plan for manning the navy in case of fined, you wiil perhaps permit an cld 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 he the case as regards all fishing vessels and berges frequenting har bours and rivers where the tide has power. The owners of such vessels, See., to be exempt from calls to erve iu the militia, and the crews of their vessels to be free from impressment. All 'traders on the c iast who get their living by means of the sea service—such as ship builders, rope, sail, block, mast teak ere, 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 calm reflemien, be considered unjust, for it must be borne in mind that on the prosperity of the navy depends their own. Such a plan, or something on its principle, would cause all parties liable to hold out t o y out h s 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 instantly up in the royal navy, will, I think, materially assist in supplying sea men when wanted in l arger num b ers than usual for the navy. I am, &0., A. D. Twickenham, June 22. RACHEL'S SON.— Gdlignani's Messenger contained the other day an interesting account of a visit paid by the Emperor to th e es t a t e o f Count Walewski near Paris, in the course of which his Majesty, attracted by the in• telgerice of a son of his Minister of Foreign Affairs, bestowed on hi,n the title of Count d'Eteiles.

The same is the I care in St. Pancras. la Lambeth 70i miles cf roads and street; are maintained by fecal sates. Io St, George's, Hanover-square (W), the vestry have the entire control of the roads and the streets. Toe parish of Islington has 53 mils of roads under its coetmel, and there are pi miles of road under the jurisdiction of the Commis sio:ars of Roads. Too roads of St. Leonard's, Shore ditch, are partly repaired by the Commissioners o f Roads, and partly by the parish. The vestry of Bah nal-green has rot the entire control (:r the road, while that of St. James's, Wes;.minister, has. So has the parish of St . George's, Southwark. In St. Martin's "in the Fields," as the pariAr is still anomalously called, the whole of the stz ewe' and roads are under the control of the •:esry. In the "Westminster Jul n), properly so cant(' (St. Margaret and St. Juin), the parishes have not the entire control of the roads. In the Hackney district the B oa rd of Werke has not the entire control of all the roada ; but in the St. Giles's district, the Southwark, and' the Strand district they have. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The deaths in London, which in the previous week had fallen as low as 963, rose in the week ending Saturday, June 19, to 1,160. 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 rate 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 to some 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) rose from 21 to 41, and d;arrhcea from 18 to 31. Diarrhoea, however, exceeds the corrected average only in a trifling degree. Two young children di e d 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, Walworth ; 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 MAY 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. Companies. Total Organic Impurity. Impurity. grs. or deg. grs. or deg.

The present table, when compared with that for the preceding month, exhibits a greater equality in the composition of the waters generally, in consequence 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 terrperature 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 iu the week was 48.5 deg. on Saturday, and the extreme range was the; efore 46 deg. The mean daily range was 27.1 deg. Ete difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera ture was 101 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 ; dur;ng 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 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 induction 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." Spine particulars relating to the very high tem perature of Wednesday, June 16, 1858, are com municated to the Registrar-General by the Astro nomer Royal : " Early in the morning the temperature of the air in the shade was 61.5 deg., this increased to 82.7 deg. by 9 h. 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 de.r. by 2h. p.m, to 90.4 deg by 3h. p.m, to 72.2 deg. by Oh. p.m., and to 629 deg. during the nigh t. 1 ' The mean temperature of the day was 76.9 deg. exceeding the average for the day by 17 . 6 deg., being a greater departure from the avenge 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 mean temperature in the month of June. "In the year 1818, on July 24, the mean tem perature of the day was 79.2 deg.; iu 1825, on July 15, 18, and 19, the mean temperatures were 79 . 1 deg., 78.2 deg., and 78.6 deg. nspeotively, ani in 1830, on July 30, it was 76.3 deg., and this is the most recent instance of a mean daily temyerature exceeding 76 deg. till that of last Wednesday, June 16. "In these several instances of high moan 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 instanca 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 92 . 7 deg. "The reading of the thermometer, whose indica tions are usually referred to as the highest in the sun, at 9 a.m. was 106.8 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. mid 127.2 deg., at 10 a.m. 133.0 deg., at noon 135/ deg., at 1 p.m. 136 . 0 deg., and at 3 p.m. 133.0 deg. 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. 141 deg., at noon 141.6 deg., at 1 p.m., 145.0 d(g., 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." TILE 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 free 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. Tine, the farce of exacting a promise from the defendants to withdraw their pamphlets from circulation might have been dispensed with. Large impressions of them have been sold off; the interest which at first attached to them has died away ; their circulation had already ceased under the simple operation of the lapse of time. The best way to prevent the re suscitation of the irritating controversy to which they related would have been, by quietly dropping the prosecutions, to have allowed them to remain forgotten. Still if two powerful Governmen's can be grati3ed by such an unreal concession, it would be hypercritical to object to it. The moral of this euthanasia of two press prosecutions is :—The Bench, the Bar, and a Tory Government - , have re cognised the light of private citizens to publish all historical facts, and to argue all moot points of morals and politics, provided this is done sincerely with a view to elicit truth, and cot to gratify ma'ice by injuring a third party. Moreover, a Tory Ge;- vernment has set the example of accepting the public declaration of the accused, through his counsel, that he was not animated by criminal mo tives as a sufficient proof of his innocence. This solemn recognition of the liberty of the English press will, we arc certain, net 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 opinion speaking through the press is a much more effective check upon press abuses than aey laws or tribunals can be. --Morning Paper.

This was an appeal from decree of the Master of the Rolls, allowing the plaintiff only the profits of the put. nenhip business from the date when he gave aotios (which was only two days) previous to his retirement as a partner of the company. The Lord Chancellor, in• delivering judgment, said 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 any particular partner, but on the partnership generally ; and when the partners were not agreed upon the value, it was difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain what it was. Ms Lordship affirmed the decree of the Master of the Rolle, and dismissed the appeal, with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) BARLOW V. BARLOW. This was a bill filed by the late Mrs. Barlow, with consent of her next friend, for specific performance of certain covenants in her favour in an anti-nuptial con 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 of . her husband, and agreed to accept in lieu thereof 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 lands conveyed by her to her husband, under articles of agree ment and indenture before their marriage, in favour of his trustees. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in de livering judgment, considered that her heirs and exeen• tors were bound 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 Mrs. Barlow had given up 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 chambers, with liberty to apply. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Dap.) • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF WELL-KNuWN FASHIONAILZ PIOY POCKETS.--Elizabeth Dison and Mary Ann Mack, two elegantly-dressed females, were charged by Cole, 317 A, * 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 a description used by omnibus thieves, and it is believed the prisoners are connected with some well-known omnibus robbers. Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active officer, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the two prisoners in Picea• dilly, and knowing them to be thieves, he watched them into the Black Horse, in Tichborne-street. After they had been in there a quarter of an hour, Mackcatne to the door, but, observing him, went in again. He (Cole) then stood up against a shop, and shortly after they both came out and proceeded down the Haymarket, whore he saw Mack, at the corner of Norris-street, attempt to pick the pocket of a lady who was looking in the window of Messrs. Adams, ironmongers, at the corner of the street. As soon as they left he spoke to the lady, and then followed them into Charles-street, where he saw Mack again make an attempt upon a lady's pocket. He then called 43 C, and took them into custody, and found upon them two pen knives. Mack said if he would let her go she would go into the country. Mack had been convicted at this court before. They had also given false addresses. A constable proved a conviction against Mack. Mack denied that she had ever been there before. Bendel], one of the officers of the court, said she bad • been there in the name of Clerk. Mr. Beadon said that he should commit them for three months each ; at the same time he felt certain that Mack had been brought before him on a former occasion. THAMES. ALLEGED CRUELTY ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP. — Three seamen, natives of England, came before Mr. Selle to complain of cruelties practised towards them by the crew of the ship Belle of the Sea, on her voyage from Cal• cutta to London. A seaman named Maclean was the first spokesman. He said he joined the Belle of the Sea at Calcutta, and he had been miserable all the voyage in consequence of the cruelty,' tys anny, and harsh language exercised towards the crew by the captain and officers. The second mate, Mr. Smith, struck a Portuguese seaman, one of the crew, and knocked him down across the windlass brake, and then cruelly jumped upon him. The poor fellow got up groaning loudly, and said to the crew, " You see that." The second mate said, " You God d--n b —r, what of that." The Portuguese went to his berth, and died of the injuries he had received 12 hours afterwards. He (Mac lean) had been struck by the second mate on the head with his fist, and also hit him a cowardly blow under the ear. from the effects of which he had never entirely recovered. Last Friday morning the captain seized him by the neck - and injured him very much, and at the same time called • him a " God d —n son of a b—h." John Dunbar, of Woolwich, was unfortunate enough to join the Belle of the Sea at Calcutta. Captain Lewis, the master, whose son was chief mate, seized him by the whiskers, which were then very long, and said " maks you pay for that." Some of his whiskers wore pulled off. The captain did not say what fault he had committed, and picked up a ballast shovel and made &blow at him. He grabbed the shovel and held on until the chief mate put his thumb nail into his (Dunbar's) throat, nearly ehoking him, and then knocked him down on the deck. He told the captain he would make him pay for it; ou which the captain said, " Yes, God d ----;ten yon, I can pay for 20 such as you." On the day afterwards the captain swore at him, seized his whiskers, and threw him to leeward. Henry Smith, of Canterbury, Kent, said he had been ill-used on board of the Belle of the Sea, by the second mate, and that the officers of the ship were constantly swearing at and abusing the crew. Mr. Selfe, on learning that the Belle of the Sea was so American ship, said he had no jurisdiction in the matter, but if the seamen ever met with the captain and his °facia* in America they would probably obtain redress.
