The Nation—the official Moniteur in all things relating to the Pope's Irish army—gives the follow ing particulars in connexion with the return to Dublin of the 69 prodigal sons who this day week beSet the office of ,the Morning News, in the vain hope of obtaining relief in the hour of tribulation. The .Nation's version of the whole affair is both amusing and instructive:— " On Sunday last 40 or 50 men arrived in Dublin, returned from Rome. They belonged in all pro bability to the number alluded to by the correspon dent of the Morning News in the letter which we published last week. We must say, however, that, as the facts appear to us at the present moment, grievous wrong was done the poor fellows who came home, purely through ill health, in not sendi ng them home quite apart from, instead of in company with, some of the worse specimens of the Irish name—runagates who have very properly been drummed out' in Rome ; who have drank, and blasphemed, and thieved all along the road as badly as if they were English militiamen ; and who origi nally succeeded in getting to Rome only by impo sition, roguery, and fraud, from the first step to the last. It was too bad, we repeat, that the poor fellows whom ill health alone, or other equally good cause, compelled to return should not have been kept apart from such refuse as that described; it was still worse that in most cases of those who returned by Civita 'Vecchia no certificates of character were given, so that the scorn and indignation due only towards the ill-conducted were left in several in stances to fall indiscriminatingly upon young men as moral, as well-conducted, and as respectable as any in the land. The men who have returned consist of-Ist, about 60, rejected as physically unfit for employment in such a country as Italy ; most of these men bore excellent characters ; .a few only—not 10 in all—were objectionable in a moral as in,a physical point of view; 2d, about 20 —chiefly ex-constabulary from one particular dis• trict—of whom it should, in fair play, be said they were fond of ease and turned tail; no charge of bad conduct is made against these, that we have seen, whether civilians or ex-policemen ; 3d, about 30 thorough ruffians, whom even their (unwilling) companions on the road home—as well as those who travelled with them going out—declare to be horrifying blasphemers, whose obscenity of lan guage and open thievery, once they left the Irish shores, was terrible to contemplate. To these three classes may be added, lastly, eight or ten very pre tentious gentry who should never have left the nursery, yet whose exacting, whining, restless, discontented spirit would be allayed only by a ' com mission.' •It was preferred to show them the door,' even in the teeth of their threats that when they'd get home' they would give accounts most terrible to read. They were told to return, and lie away to their hearts' content. Here we take the opportu ' nity of correcting a rumour doing grievous wrong to a body of young men ever remarkable for all that is honourable, patriotic, and spirited—the drapers' assistants. It has been told that these have been ambitious grumblers, unable to bear hardship, and discontented at not receiviwg commissions.' This is, we say, a grievous wrong. It is true that the majority of those few who made such claims and threatened to write lying letters were drapers' as sistants ; but the result of particular inquiry we have made is that in proportion to the num ber of them in the brigade no class has given more general satisfaction. They have borne cheerfully those hardships which have tried the patience of all the men, and given pretext to the discontent of a few. The drapers are intelligent, hardy, cour ageous, and persevering. But the two or three of the class who have broken out. have given as much trouble as a dozen of any other. We have applied to the most trustworthy quarters to supply us with la report of the general conduct , of the men froM each district. Of they 11-conducted men the worst went from Dublin, Kerry, and Limerick city. The men who, on the whole, have given most satisfac tion have been taken from Limerick county, Tippe rary county, and Louth county. We name only those districts from which the largest number emi grated ; but from Tuam, Meath, Galway, Longford, and Wexford, out of a large number emigrated, not a single man that we know of has been reported badly off." Sa : THE DUNGANNON TRAGEDY. Those who recollect the circumstances connected with the dismal tragedy at Dungannon—the mur der of Sergeant M'Clelland and the nearly accom plished butchery of Sub-Inspector Mathew—will not be surprised that the assassin Holden has keen found guilty at the assizes of Tyrone. The cir cumstantial proofs of his guilt were overwhelming, and all the ability and eloquence of his council (Mr. Butt) were thrown away upon the jury, who, how ever, accompanied their verdict with a recommenda tion to mercy on the ground of previous good cha racter; but the judge refused to listen to the re commendation, and sentenced him to be hanged on the 27th of August. Holden was perfectly cool throughout, and requested as a last favour that he might be shot, instead of dying by the rope. The I%orthern TV hilq of this morning has the following statement in reference to the trial : " Notwithstanding the atrocity of the crime of which the prisoner has now been convicted, a feel ing approaching to sympathy for him was mani fested at the time on account of the circumstances which had led to the perpetration of the horrid deed, and since then the heroic fidelity manifested towards him by his wife has contributed to renew and keep up this sympathy. The unfortunate wo man has, it appears, during the last month, been in daily attendance upon her husband, as far es the gaol regulations would permit, and she begged the whole country round, and raised a considerable sum of money to procure for him the best counsel and. advice. The circumstances con nected with the murder were briefly that Holden had become anxious to marry a young woman (his present wife) and had made application for leave to do so; it being according to the rules of the force that no policeman can marry without the consent of his superiors. While the consideration of his application was pending, it was somehow or other discovered that Holden had been secretly married. On Monday, the sth of December last, he was sum moned to receive the determination of the autho rities in reference to his application. He attended in the barracks, where Mr. Mathews (sub -inspector) intimated to him that his application had been re fused, and that, in consequence of what had taken place in the interval, the determination of the authorities was that he should be removed from Dungannon to Newtonstewart, and reduced from the rank of constable to sub-constable. In the course of that Monday Holden, conceiving in his mind that he had been ill used by M'Clelland and Mathews in this matter, wrote a letter to Head constable M'Gowan, breathing a bitter feeling against the sergeant and the sub-inspector. In the course of that evening M'Clelland was murdered. He and Holden left the police barracks together be tween 6 and 7, and were seen walking on the road and turning into the gate of the Rev. Mr. Quaine's house. Within a minute or two after two thots were heard, and soon after M'Clelland's body was found with two bullet shots in it, and a little after the prisoner was met on the road which he had walked with M'Clelland, returning to the barracks, which he left that night between 10 and 11. This, with other circumstances sustaining the impression of the prisoner's guilt, was the evidence against the accused. In the appeal made to the jury in behalf of the prisoner the highest legal ability was dis played. Mr. Butt did not injure the case of the accused by treating with levity the strong evidence of guilt '.which had been pro duced against him. He wisely, and for the interest of his client, admitted that the suspi cions against him were strong, but called on the jury not to convict on suspicions, however strong, nor on anything less than clear, unpolluted evidence, free from all doubt." I don't say there is no suspicion in the case. It is a case of very strong suspicion; but I tell you, in the sacred name of the law—in the sacred name of justice—that a strong suspicion will not justify a verdict of guilty. All this masterly eloquence was unavailing. The jury convicted the prisoner of murder, but felt themselves justified in attaching to that verdict a recommenda tion to mercy. The judge pronounced sentence of death. Whatever may be the effect of the recom mendation of the jury, certainly no impartial reader of the trial will call in question the justice of their verdict of The trial appears to have been conducted throughout, on the part of all concerned, with a gravity and seriousness which leave nothing to be regretted in any part of the legal and judicial procedure. No exception can be taken to the charac ter or credibility of any one witness produced." DUBLIN, JULY 29. THE FRENCH EMPEROR AND THE IRISH PRESS.

On the 4th'blf rif fst , r i;ift - 145t:111.13 7 ance in Beyrout would appear to have ceased. The steamer which should bring us more recent intelli gence has not yet arrived. On Sunday evening (15th inst.) each of the Embassies received a telegram from Smyrna to the effect that a vessel had just. entered that port from Beyrout with news of a massacre of '4OO. Christian's at Damascus by the Mdssulman population of the town. The . Oth is the date assigned to this occurrence, the account of which has been confirmed by information received at. the Porte. The American Consul is said to have been wounded. The Consulates of France and Austria were burnt, and their occupants seem to have owed their lives to Abd-cl-Kader, in whose house they took refuge, and who exerted himself to the utmost for the pa cification of the town. The English Consul, Mr. Brandt, was, I - believe, - not molested. It is impossible to describe the dismay which the re ceipt of this disastrous intelligence has caused at the Sublime Porte. Not without cause did Ministers look upon one another in mute and unconcealed ap prehension. They have troops in Syria ; and the force in Damascus itself cannot have been inconsi derable; but that force is some 30 months in arrears of pay, and has not been wanting in symptoms of disaffection. Not one word of an attempt made by this force to maintain order appears in the telegrams which have reached Constantinople, while Abd-el- Kader, a foreigner and an exile, is described as the champion of order in the town. What if the troops, that have been despatehed in such numbers since affairs in Syria first took an alarming turn, should prove no more worthy of trust than the soldiers of the army of Arabistan ? It is to be hoped that the receipt of ampler details will serve to reassure us on this point, but I confess I shall be much relieved if our next letters from Aleppo, and one or two of the other large towns, contain no untoward intelli gence. There are some rtiasons to apprehend that Druses and Maronites have exhausted themselves in the late struggle, only to give way to . a more seri ous conflict between Mussulmans and Christians. The official paper has, during recent occurrences in Syria, withheld all information from the public. With a self-delusion little inferior to that which in duces a child to cover his eyes . when he would not be seen, the Turkish Government has flattered itself that if no notice of the events which were passing appeared in its own 'organ, no excitement would, prevail in the public mind. AccOrdingly, up to yes terday, people have been looking in vain for some information in the columns of the Journal de Con stantinople. Compelled at last by the tide of events to break silence, that paper yesterday published the following paragraphs : "The steamer which arrived at Smyrna, on the 15th, has brought news from Damascus of a most regrettable nature. " While the troubles in Mount Lebanon appear to be subsiding, disorders have broken out in a fresh place. " In consequence of a collision, which the troops at the disposition of the Governor were it seems powerless to prevent, a certain number of Chris tians have, according to these despatches, lost their lives, and even some Consular establishments have not been respected. " We still hope that fresh information will ar rive, to mitigate, at least, these events, as disastrous as they were unexpected (aussi eruels qu' imprevus), and we are firmly convinced that the high mission with which Fuad Pasha is charged ; that the ex tended powers that have been given him ; that the force, moral and material, at his disposition, will suffice to bring about a prompt re-establishment of order, after the exemplary chastisement of the guilty." The effect produced here by these few lines has been disproportionate even to the importance of the information conveyed by the telegraph. During the time that battles and massacres were of daily occurrence in the Lebanon, the Government jour nal made no sign, or, at most, made a passing al lusion to its Syrian correspondent's letters, which it did not publish. Is it to be wondered at if peo ple now say, "matters must be bad indeed when . the Journal de Constantinople is constrained to allude to them in this manner?" Nor is the excite ment, which the conduct of the Government thus tends to aggravate, of little moment. There are those who consider the state of this capital itself highly critical. lam not of the number; but fears for the saty , ty of the Christian population are en tertained in quail ers where sound information should exist, and by persons whose opinions ono cannot altogether disregard. Daring the last few days, and especially through out the whole of yesterday, a conflict between the police and the schismatic Armenians has been im minent.. Near the Adrianople Gate of Stamboul is an Armenian cemetery. It has no doubt always been used as a place of interment of the'schismatie Armenians. There seems, however, to be as little doubt that Protestant Armenians have been con stantly buried there without opposition or hind rance on the part of the more numerous sect of their fellow-countrymen. On Saturday last the body of an old man, a Protestant Armenian, was carried out for burial. No previous dispute had, so far as I can ascertain, arisen between the two sects as to their respective rights of sepulture in this cemetery. On the funeral reaching this place, a large number of schismatic Armenians were found assembled there. These declared that they would allow no Protestant to be buried among the remains of members of their own Church. The Pro testants persisted in their intention to proceed with the interment, but were forcibly prevented from so doing. The police were called in to enforce what the authorities would seem to regard as the rights of the Protestants. The mob of schismatic Arme nians increased, and the force of police present was not sufficient. Throughout Sunday and Monday the body remained on the ground awaiting burial, the authorities not deeming it prudent to send troops to clear the ground by force. Throughout the whole of yesterday there were between 4,000 and 5,000 persons collected, and a collision was hourly expected. Matters had then assumed so serious an aspect that Sir .Henry Bulwer, who had received repeated communications o n the subject, deemed his personal interference necessary. His Excellency proceeded from Therapia in i the Ban shee to Constantinople , wh ere he had interviews, first, with the Grand Vizier, and subsequently w ith the Armenian Patria rch. Ihe result was that the body was allowe d to be buried last night by the police, 200 of whom were inattendance. These facts are sign i ficant, ---in the fi rs t p l ace , b ecause it is certain that, for some political purpose, the sc hismatic Armenians were put upon behaving as they did ; secondly, as serving to show the extreme reluctance of the Turkish authorities to suffer even the slightest collision between their own soldiers or police and the Christian population at the pre sent time. Fuad Pasha sailed et. Thursday last for Beyrout, where he should have arrived yesterday. RUSSIA AND THE ASIATIC TRlBES.—Russia has exercised great prudence in her conquests among the Asiatic tribes ; she has always respected their religion and supersti tion; and no priests have accompanied her Cossacks. She has thus avoided many difficulties which other Powers have fallen into where the soldier and the missionary have marched together, From my knowledge of these people. I believe it is impossible to make converts among them. They are not like the Africans, who are but little more advanced in civilisation than the animals of their plains. The Asiatics are descended from a race of conquerors; and their tradi tions extend back into remote ages. Robbers they are ; but neither pilferers nor pickpockets. Great hospitality, a n d a wild spirit of chivalry, still exist among them,-1):0111 At_ kinson's Travels in the .4nzoor. TH SUN, LONDON, MO DAY EVENING. LY 30, 1860. CO:NTRACT FOR WHEAT.

MACKIE'S STATION HOTEL, INVERNESS. Why is this HOTEL not known in the CALEDONIAN CANAL ROUTE to INVERNESS? THE MYSTERIOUS' CHILD MURDER NEAR FRO ME. The following is a re — port of what took place at the inquiry into this mysterious affair after the despatch of our parcel on Friday, the result of which we, however, were enabled to give : Esther Holly, laundress, deposed as follows : I have been in the habit of washing for Mr. Kent's family till within the last three weeks. I recollect going for the clothes on the Monday after the murder. When I got to the house I saw the cook ; we went upstairs to the spare room where the clothes were generally kept. The cook brought down one basket and I the other. I then secured the clothes in the baskets and went out and called my daughter Martha. The clothes were then in the same state as I. always received them. Mrs. Kent's dress was on one basket and something else on the other. I and my daughter went straight home with the clothes. We had heard that there was a night dress lost, and we opened the basket within five minutes after we got home, and found that one was missing. It was not our usual custom to open the clothes so soon after receiving them. We heard a rumour that a nightdress was missing. Mr. Edlin objected that the bench, who were, as it appeared, conducting the prosecution, ought not to put questions which would be inadmissible. The Chairman said the magistrates were not acting as prosecutors ; they were merely conduct ing the investigation, and Mr. Edlin had frequently interposed objections. Mr. Edlin had respectfully submitted to The bench that, in a case where a young lady was on remand, charged with wilful murder, no question ought to be put to witnesses which would be inad missible on the prosecution of so serious a charge. The examination of the witness was then re sumed, and she deposed to the missing of the night dress, and to having sent to the house immediately on discovering its loss. Mr. Kent told me he would have a special warrant for me if the dress was not returned in 48 hours. I told him I was certain I had not had the dress, and I went then. I have had no washing from Mr. Kent's house since. I have not seen anything of the missing nightdress. My house and my two daughters have been searched by the police for the dress. By Mr. Edlin—l had the clothes home about 12 o'clock on the Monday following tTie murder, and in about five minutes after began to make a search for something that was missing. On the next day I went up to Mr. Kent's and got my money, and took back the book with me, I did not say any thing to the housemaid about anything being miss ing. I never gave it a thought; that is where I was wrong. I have three daughters, two married and one single. The single one lives with me. All three daughters were present when I examined the clothes that I brought from Mr. Kent's. One of my daughters is married to a brother of William Nutt, who has been examined here to-day. He is a labourer, and lives in Road. My husband and son live in the house with me and my youngest daughter. All my daughters assist me in the washing, and no one else. They were all at home when I got home with my youngest daughter with the clothes. I went up to get my money the next day, between 11 and 12 o'clock, and saw Mrs. Kent about the missing dress the same evening, after my daughter came back. I was told then that they were quite sure that Miss Con stance's nightdress had been sent. The police came to my house the first time on the Tuesday evening. lam quite clear about it. Four constables came together, and the parish constable as well. I was quite alarmed about it. They came to my house before I sent to Mrs. Kent's inquiring about the piece &flannel that was found. I k new the night dress Was missing at the time, but I did not say anything to them about it. I told them the clothes e were all right by the book .

Those are the only things I was ever accused of having before, and that I'll swear. Mrs. Kent forgave me the towel. My other daughter is married to Willi am Riddle. The magistrates, having ccessulted, announced that no more witnesses would be called. Mr. Edlin then asked the bench instantly to libe rate the accused, and restore her to her friends. There was not a tittle of evidence against her, not one word on which the finger of infamy could be pointed against her. Although a most atrocious mur der had been committed, it had been followed by a judicial were never m u r d d i e s c r o n v o e r l e e d s i a t t rwocoiuoluds.neNl,efrthbee murderer that this young lady had been dragged like a com mon felon to Devizes gaol. The fa ct alone was quite sufficient to insure the sympathy of every man in tbheeencotuankteynamnudstthbelaksitnghderomho. pe T s h a e n s d tes p p ro w sp hich had ects for life, and those steps had been taken solely on the suspicion of an inspector of police, acting under the influence of the reward which had been offered. The fact respecting the missing bedgown had been cleared up to the satisfaction of every one who had heard the evidence that day, and no doubt could remain that this little peg, upon which this fearful charge had been grounded, had fallen to the ground. He asked the magistrates, therefore, to pause and say whether for one moment longer this young lady should be kept in custody. Without reproaching Inspector Whicher for what he had done, he must say that the hunting up the schoolfellows of Miss Constance Kent reflected ineffable disgrace upon those who had been the means of bringing them there. Nothing that had been elicited from those young ladies showed anything like animus on the part of the prisoner towards the deceased child, nor had any motive been established which would induce the prisoner to imbrue her hands in the blood of the poor little child. He appealed to the bench, therefore, the case for the prosecution being exhausted—and a weaker one he had never heard—to perform their duty to the country and to the prisoner by at once saying that the evidence adduced satisfied them that the charge was groundless, and that Miss Constance Kent should be at once discharged. A fearful responsibility would rest upon the magistrates if they should again remand the-prisoner. No evidence to warrant a remand to gaol, h pr r o e sec a u n t d io h n ad been adduced upon the fir st occasion ; but if, now th e ma tt er h a d been exhausted by t he t b i e i en dutiese h magistrates, twh eoyu lNdv t h e riebseehtyi sworn nuto erg l tde a o, d ni y omt s m h tfho o eoed u rs milaady. dischargee b tl hy e ua tte a o g bg a erl i iseo n boafeut s rg e tia n hhnt t ee: justice would b e d one to t h e pr i soner , and that the in per t the young lady, and to restore her to her friends and her home. Some applause followed the address of the learned counsel, which was instantly suppressed. The magistrates, after a brief consultation, an nounced that they had decided on discharging the prisoner, on her father entering into recognisances of £2OO for her appearance if called upon. -The prisoner was then discharged. THE SUEZ CANAL—It is said that at a late meet ing of the shareholders of the Suez _Canal Company at Paris, accounts of the company were produced, by which it appeared that a milli o n of francs have been expended in the cost of the di rec ti on ; t h a t o f this sum 500,00 f. had been charged for th e j ourneys o f M. Lesseps, a further sum f or furnishing his apartment at Paris, and 400,000 f. for the salaries of the members of the direction, consisting of M. Leeseps and one or two associates.

At the conclusion of the second day's experiments a few shots were fired to test the practicability of using the breach-loading 80-pounder as a muzzle loading gun. No special preparation had been made for this experiment. The powder was hastily tied up in square pieces of flannel, so as to form car tridges. The cartridges and shot were pushed in at the muzzle and rammed home in the usual way. As it was desired to observe the effect of the ricochet, only half charges of powder were used. The charges were fired without any difficulty ; the distances of the first grazes averaged about 940 yards, and the shot then ricochetted with precision to a considerable distance. As the velocity dimi nished they were deflected from the line of fire in the direction in which the gun is rifled to the right. On Friday morning a few experiments were made with the 12-pounder and 80-pounder, fired at high elevations. _ _ The range obtained with the 80. pounder, firing 551 b. shell, at 10 deg. of elevation, was 5,043 yards! The time of flight, as observed by the naval officers present, Captain Herbert, Captain Halstead, and Lieutenant Ward), was 13.8 seconds. The range obtained with the 12-pounder, firing 121 b. solid shot, charge 21b., at 35 deg., was up wards of 10,100 yards ! The exact distance to which the shot was hurled could not be ascertained, as it overshot the extent of dry land range that was available (9,800 yards), and fell into the sea. The time of fight, as observed by the naval offi cers, was stated to be 40i seconds. This is the greatest range and the longest fight that has ever 3et been recorded for any projectile fired from any gun. It ought, perhaps, to be stated in justice to both the gunners and the gun, that in many cases the differences in range and deviation that are observ able in the published tables have been, no doubt, fairly attributed to the fact that different qualities of powder were used on the first day, and, in some cases, the sight was put by mistake at wrong ele vations—a circumstance not to be wondered at, when it is remembered that the cannon were for the first time handed over to the Royal Artillerymen and naval gtnners, who, though they worked the guns admirably, had ne ver fi re d a Whitworth gun before. It is not too much to say that the guns have maintained, as far as their practical working goes, the high character they had previously earned with regard to precision, power, and extent of range. 7HE 211ET1 OPOLIS GAS BILL. As this bill now stands, it contains, among other provisions, the following :—The Gas Work Clauses Act of 1847 is incorporated with it, but it is pro posed to be enacted that "it shall not be lawful for any gas company, by the application of any of their profits or funds, to make up to the prescribed rate, or the rate of 10 per cent. where no such rate shall be prescribed, any dividend which shall have been payable more than six years previously." The dis tricting o f th e metropolis by the companies is pro posed to be sanctioned, and coloured maps of the several districts are to be deposited with the respec tive clerks of the peace of the counties of Middlesex, London, Surrey, and Kent ; and should the con sumers be dissatisfied with the manner in which such districting is carried out, on a requisition signed by twenty consumers, the Secretary of State for the Home Department shall be empowered to appoint parties who shall investigate the cause of complaint and report thereon, and such report the Secretary of State has power to see enforced. The same autho rity will have power, on the requisition of any local board or vestry, or on a memorial signed by twenty householders, to appoi n t i nspectors t o i nqu i re i n t o any complaints th a t .may be made as to the distri bution, the quantit y , and quality of the gas. Any company disobeying a n y, order of the Secretary of State for the Ho me D epartment will be liable to a penalty of £5O for every offence. By the 15th clause the companies are compelled to lay down pipes and supply any consumer with gas, provided his dwelling door i s w i thin fifty yards o f t h e p i pes of the company, and sh a ll a l so b e b oun d to supply him with a meter, f or which the company will not be permitted to charg e more than ten per cent. pan y fail to s u ppl y re ntal on the net co s t o f the meter ; an d if t h e com within fourteen days f rom t h e app li cat i on , th e y w ill be liable to a p ena l ty of 40s. for every d ay ' s gas after being required, delay. Clause 25 regulates the amount of illuminat ing power of gas. It is proposed to be enacted that gas taken one thousand yards from the works shall be of such quality as to produce from an Argand burner, having fifteen holes and a seven inch chimney consumin g fi ve cu bi c f eet o f gas an hour, a light equal in i ntens i ty to t h e li g h t pro daced by not less than twelve sperm candles of six to the pound, each burning one hundred and twenty grains per hour. Cl ause 27 prov i des t h at l oca l authorities shall have Power to appo i nt i nspectors or examiners, for the purpose of testing the quality and quantity of the gas, and t o investigate com plaints, and give these b o di es power t o pay th ese examiners for their se rv i ces. By the 40t h c l ause it is proposed to be enacted that the companies shall be permitted to charge 4s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet for gas; but that they cannot increase the price without giving a month' s not i ce to t h e consumer , in order to allow the c onsumer t o ap p ea l to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who will be empowered to institute an inquiry as to whether there is any just reason for raising the price, but in no case shall an y co mpany, under any circumstances, be allowed to charge more than ss. 6d. per 1 , 000 cubic feet for common gas, and 7s. 6d. for cannel gas. Such are some of the chief provisions of Lords. The delegates and Sir John Shelley have it t been able to obtain all that is required on the part ofthe of consumers, the bill but they have compelled the co mpanies to grant infinitely more than was ex pected when the opposition against the companies commenced. FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN INDIA.— Her Majesty's Emigration C omm i ss i oners h ave g iven notice of their intention to receive tenders to-morrow for a vessel to convey the wives and families of soldiers serving in India from either Liverpool, Plymouth, or Southampton , on the 27th proximo, to Calent a.

TILE STRONOMWAL EXPEDITION TO NORTH SPAIX. HIMALAYA STEAMSHIP, JULY 28. The Himalaya left Santander at 5.45 a.m. on the 26th, and anchored opposite the villages of San turee and Algorta at 9 a.m., in order to receive from Bilboa the remainder of the astronomers and their instruments. Here many Spaniards came on board to examine this noble vessel. At 6.30 p.m. the Himalaya again steamed out of Bilboa Bay for Eng. land, finally anchoring off Portsmouth at 4 p.m. on the 28th, having run this distance in 45 hours and 30 minutes. The lights of Ushant were sighted on the 27th, at half-pust 9 p.m., and the English coast.seen at 6.10 a.m. of the 28th ; at 6.45 a.m. opposite Start Point; at 10.30 sighted Portland Bill; at 12.50 p.m. sighted the Isle of Wight ; at 2.45 opposite the Needles; 3 p.m. off Hirst Castle, and at 3.48 her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria steamed past the Himalaya in the royal yacht. Yesterday a Council of astronomers was held on board the Himalaya in the Ilay of Biscay, when the following resolutions were passed : Proposed by Mr. DE LA RUE, and seconded by M. STRUVE,— " 1. That the thanks of the Himalaya Expedition be given to the Spanish authorities for their great kindness and liberality." Proposed by Mr. DE LA RUE, and seconded by M. BONOMI,— " 2. That the thanks of the Expedition be given to Mr. C. Vignoles and the engineers and directors of the Bilboa Railway." Proposed by Mr. LASSELL, and seconded by Mr, E. J. LowE,-- • "3. 'What similar thanks be given to Mr. Mould, Mr. Philip Sewell, and the directors of the San tander and Alar Railway." Proposed by the ASTRONOMER ROYAL, and seconded by Captain JACOB,— " 4. That the thanks of the Expedition be given to Captain Seccombe and the officers of the Hima laya for their great kindness and attention." Proposed by M. STRUVE, and seconded by Mr. STANISTIEET,— " 5. That the Himalaya Expedition desire to record their gratitude to the Astronomer Royal for the origination of the expedition and for his un wearied exertions to secure its success."

PUBLIC ALLOWANCES FOR HOSPITALITIES. In contrast with the shabby treatment of the cap. tains of our men -of-war, of which Sir John Paking ton revealed to the house such disgraceful instances on Tuesday, it is curious to observe bow the public deals with the great guns of the Church. The scandalous augmentation, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, of the Income of the Dean of York to £l,OOO a year was expressly justified by Mr. Westhead on the ground of the hospitalities incambent on that dignitary. Indeed, Mr. West head contended that the income of the deanery ought to be doubled to enable its convivialities to expand in the same proportion; but, the present dean " having a private fortune," the member for York refrains from urging this second and hand some augmentation until the next avoidance of tbe office ! The " good private fortunate," however, did not prevent the commissioners from adding £2OO a year to the Hon. and Very Rev. Augustus Duncombe's salary, which was overpaid with the £BOO at which he accepted it. See how much better it is to be a dean than a captain in the navy, where the disbursements for hospitalities must come oat of the captain's private pocket as long as there is a guinea in it to sustain the credit of the service and the honour of the nation. If there is one public officer entitled more than another to the most liberal treatment by a country like ours, it is surely the man to whose skill and valour we intrust the glory of our flag, and with it the safety of our commerce; but, on the contrary, it is precisely to this very office that the public behaves with the meanest par simony ; while, to a functionary like a dean, whose very use is a question which we defy the whole Social Science Association to ex plain. there is no limit to the public munificence. The dean or the bishop has only to ask and he re ceives. There exists a commission specially charged with supplying all their wants, nay, often antici pating them ; if the prelate desires a statelier palace, it is built for him ; if the dean would like a few additional hundreds a-year for his table, there is not a moment's hesitation about granting it. No doubt the deanery of York job was dose in a corner, but we keep corners for clerical jobs while there is no corner, not even at the Admiralty, where even common justice is done to the officers of our fleet, the services of any one of whom would far out weigh those of all the deaneries in the country. In the House of Commons we are glad to observe that the York job has had few advocates. Mr. Deedes said it ought never to have been done without application to Parliament. Mr. Spooner though it, as all good men do, a most unjusti fiable nroceeding while there are incumbents of parishes starving . on £BO a-year. Sir James Graham disapproved of the augmentation strongly; and Mr. Henley declared "it had done more to shake the confidence of the public in the Ecclesias tical Commission than anything which had occurred for years."—Examiner.
