B:11 has been prin-*.ed, and is now in the hinds of the commu nity'. It is framed in accordance with the wisi es of the ma j or ity of the House of Common % a , enunciated in the five resolutions already sane 'Honed or indicated by the speeches of th e l ead i ng and most influential rkilembers. There c an , fore, be but little doubt as to its ultimate success, more oilecially as the Palmerstonian organs, including the leviathian, are compelled to speak 01 it in resvetful terms. As might have been anC cipated, they sneer at the alterations that have been made, although they are compelled by the exigencies of their position to admit them to be decided improvements. But surely the object should be to obtain the legislation which would prove most beneficial both for Eng land and for India, and the mode by which that great desideratum may be accom plished is a matter of comparatively trivial im portance. It is measures, not men, that should receive popular support ; and although it may be derogatory to a despotic power to follow, in place of leading public opinion, we should con sider it the imperative duty of a constitutional Cabinet to respect the opinions of the chosen representatives of independent constituencies. A little discussion took place in the House of Lords as to whether the resolutions should be submitted far consideration before the bill framed thereon was fairly ventilated in their chamber. The Government very judiciously decided that such should not be the case. It was the views of the popular branch of the Legislature that they desired to ascertain, before framing the bill, which should afterwards run in its course with those " born to statescraft." The inconvenience of carrying the resolutions through two assemblies, possibly of ccmflicting views, pari passe, must be obvious. One side must be preferred, and that would be calculated to give offence to the other, and to render it more querulous respecting the points where the " golden apple" was accorded to its rival. The bill is strictly in accordance with the explanations given by Lord STANLEY and Mr. DISRAELI, and seems fully and fairly to carry out the views accepted by the House of Commons. There may, of course, be some modification; but the principles have been virtually sanctioned, and the House will not be disposed to change its mind, or subject itself to a charge of tergiversa tion, for the purpose of improving the position of the Palmerstonian malcontents. Having already explained the nature of the measure, there is but little to say as to its details, save that they are entirely in accordance with the deductions drawn from the speeches of the lead ing members of the Government. There is to be a Secretary of State ; a fifth, in place of a Presi dent ; and it shall not be necessary for the Presi dent of the Board of Control, if appointed to that office, to undergo a new election. Lord STANLEY has already been three times elected within 15 months. The independent constituency, who honoured themselves by the election of such a man, dispensing with his attendance the last time, in consideration of the arduous duties that devolved on him, would be the first to approve of this alteration from the established rule which, if maintained, would only lead to inconvenience and delay, when prompt action would be of the ut most importance. Four of the five Secretaries of St Ito and four under Secretaries may, at the same time, sit in the HOUS3 of Commons. This is an essential proviso in consequence of existing enactments. But all should be qualified. There is no just reason why any restriction should be placed on the Government, who should be authorised to place the most influential and experienced heads of each department in the position where their services could be most beneficial to them, the QUEEN, and the country. The New Bill will doubtless receive fair consi deration from both branches of the Legislature. Anything in the shape of factious opposition is now out of the question, and we doubt not that a wise and statesmanlike measure for the future government cf will receive the Royal Assent before the close of the present Session. The paper duties are doomed. The resolution unanimously adopted by the House of Commons last night, with the assent of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has sealed their fate. They caunot survive next session, and we may congra tulate our contemporaries of the Fourth Estate, and the community at large—the greatest gainers by the change on this additional felicitious result —of the accession to place and power of Lord DERBY and his efficient coadjutors. The only Member who ventured to impeach the proposition of the Right Hon. Mainber for Ashton, was Sir G. C. LEWIS. He said quite enough to show that if ha remained at the head of the financial department, the anxiously looked for fiscal changes would bo deferred to the Greek kalends But Mr. DISRAELI is a man of a very different calibre of intellect. He gained his earliest laurels as as author, giving promise of the future fruit which was then germinating, and • with a clear knowledge of the trials and difficul ties that await a juvenile genins, he could sym pathise with the demand, although the stern exigencies of Stite policy, and the imperative claims of the pubLe creditor, prevented him from immediately granting the required relief. If, however, Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI be in office next session, if the earnest cravings of Lords PAL3IERSTON and JOHN RUSSELL and their adherents should be dig appointed, we may reason ably hope that the last remaining " tax on knowledge" will be abolished, and that journalism will be freed from its greatest impediment—the fiscal fettei---by which it was enchained. This is another of the beneficial results which has followed the abolition of the Palmerstonian dictatorship, and the ejctineut of his chief henchman, Sir GEORGE C. LEWIS, from Downing -street. Should ho by any unfor tunate chance be restored, the tax on know be maintained, the Leviathan will still pay its 38,0001. per annum, and we shall pay what would be a very handsome salary for an efficient and talented writer. We care not for the competi ' tion that it may produc3 ; we are for free trade in literature (and in money) as well as in com modities. In the olden time a man's hand guarded his head -12°7, the head shall protect the pocket; and we re j o i ce at the unrestricted com petition that may ensue, albeit we have nearly reached the allotted life of man, and can hail even the Times as a younger brother. But it is not only for literary purpses that the abolition of the duty is desirable. It operates very prejudicially where the coarse de scriptions of paper are required,for packing or other p urposes, and the Excise restrictions and regulations, consequent on the tax, are more burdensome, even then the pecuniary impost. Besides, a h o p e has Leet held out of a total revision of the fi sca l system. The Paltnerstonians themselves admit that LW(' DERBY clues not promise unless he means to perform ; and thus, if the noble krd remain in power, we may reasonatly hope for what would never be attained under the sway of PALMERSTON, WOOD, LEWIS, and Co. " The boys of the school, it must be said, had heard the noble gentleman's history, and had a got to kun,v and love him." Mr. THICKERAY'S readers will remember the sentence—it occurs in his last chapter of his History of the NEWCOMES. The reference is to °odd Colonel—dear old TII° I LIS NEWCOME—just before (the close of his life) h 3 suddenly cries Adsum 1 "and 10, he, whose heart was as that of a littlo child, had an , swered to his name and stood in the presence of The Master. Everybody who has read this charming book, bears the passage tenderly—al most tearfully—in recollection. It might apply equally well to " Old Prmos," dead fifteen thousand miles away in his Indian grave, as to " Codd Colonel," dying calmly in bed among the poor pensioners of the Cistericans. Read the words again—they are worth it—and so applied they will be found not a jut less appli cable—" The boys•of the school, it must be said, had heard the noble gentleman's history, and had all got to know and love him"--for THOMAS NEWCOME read HENRY HAVELOCK. For a mo ment think of the noble gentleman as " Old PHLOS" instead of " Codd Colonel" —and a new significance will be given to the memorial meeting holden on Thursday last at the Charter Home, a meeting of old Carthusians. It was convened, this meeting, for the purpose of initiating measures for commemorating the services of Sir HENRY HAVELOCK and his brothers-in-arms, both naval and military—fallen in the service of their country, whether in the wars of the Crimea or of the Bengal Presidency —and formerly educated together in the old school, when " little, laughing, red-cheeked, white-headed, grown-boy Carthusians." Among the contemporaries of " Old Phlos " present on Thursday—were the late Minister of War, Chairman of the meeting, Lord PANMIIRE the Right Rev. the Bishop of ST. DAVID'S, the Right HOD. Sir C. CRESSWELL, Sir C. EASTLAKE (President of the Royal Academy), and Mr. W. THACKERAY, the celebrated novelist. It was decided by those assembled together on the occa sion, that, by a marble tablet, to be inscribed with the names of the heroic departed, as also probably by a priza to be hereafter established by way of commemoration, that the memories of HAVELOCK and his compatriots should be kept green among the haunts of their childhood—the monument, of course, being ereoted within the walls of the Charter House, and the priza connected with the foundation. The Dean of Peterborough.—evidently, by voca tion, a wag as well as a church dignitary—im proved the melancholy occasion somewhat whim sically by treating it in a facetious point of view —in a speech which, we are told by the reporter, produced shouts of laughter from the juvenile Carthusians. However the incident may be re garded within the walls of the Charter House, it can scarcely fail to be regarded without those walls with the holiest inte rest. And probably the knowledge of last Thursday's doings will two months later on be enspiriting in the midst of that terrible sum mer campaign in Rohilcund some toil-worn, strife• weakened, but heart-whole Carthusian. True that the movement is somewhat after date with reference to the Crimean dead, and be it added in regard to Sir HENLY HAVELOCK him self—yet it is happily, as the old proverb says, " better late than never," and so honour to the generous memories of old and young Carthusians. A sale by auction would certainly appear a curious theme for comment in this particular part of our impression. Yet one has recently occurred, at the mart of a celebrated firm of auctioneers, to which we would here briefly direct public atten tion for a few moments—regarding (as we do) one item in this sale to be a subject of very gen eral interest, and from its significance, a cause, in a great measure, for national exultation. We allude to the sale, on Monday last, at Messrs. SOTHEBY and WILKINSON'S, of a rare collection of old books, until very recently the property of a well-known Shaksperian commentator. The lite rature il comprised in this collection was illustrative of the Early English Drama, including among it many choice editions of plays by MARSTON, HEY WOOD, BEN JONSON—above all, of SHAKSPERE. Among these last-mentioned various curiosities, such as the copy, date 1600, of " The Excellent Historic of the Merchant of Venice, with extreme Cruelty of SHvnonKE, the Jew, towards the said Merchant, in cutting a just Pound of his Flesh, and the obtaining of PoRTIA by the Caoyse of Three Caskets :" or, again, the 1619 issue of "The most pleasant and excellent-conceited Comedy of Sir JOHN FALSTAFFE and the Merry Wives of Windsor, with the swaggering vaine of Ancient PISTOL and Curporall NYM." It is not, however, to the vending of these choice versions of renowned originals that we would here direct the popular observation : any more than we would descant at length upon the hammer falling at the price of 861. for " The most excellent and lamentable Tragodie of Romeo and Juliet,' as it hath been sundrie times pub likely acted by the KING'S Majestie's servants at the Globe"—vended by JOHN SMETHWICK, Anno D. 1609, "at his shop in Sainte Dunstane's Churchyard, in Fleeto Street, under the Dyall." The lot we here wish to refer to, was the last lot sold at this -auction on Monday by Messrs. SoTHEBY and WILKINSON. it was one of the only autographs of WILLIAM SHAKSPERE now extant— one out of those Six famous Autographs. Three out of the S;x are signatures to the Immortal Bard's last will and testament—one upon each of the three sheets of paper upon which that re nowned will is written—a document preserved among the most valuable MSS. belonging to the nation in the Prerogative Office of Doctors' Com mons : ono of these three autographs being de plorably mutilated, another being very bold and legible, and the last having a superfluous stroke or so in it, as if from a tremor in the poet's hand as he wrote. A fourth signature was that most perfect of all the autographs of SHAKSPERE, dis c )vered some years back in a small folio volume, after having been as many as sixty years in the possession of the Reverend EDWARD PATTESON, Minister of Stnethwick [the ridiculous name is somehow becoming quite Shaksperian] near Birmingham. It is on the fly-leaf of the first edition of FLORIO'S " Translation of Montaigne.. The volume was sold by auction in 1838, and was purchased for 1001. by the Trustees of the British Museum—where it has remained ever since, of course, tenderly preserved among the most precious of the national treasures. Twenty years after that purchase another, the sixth of SHAKSPERE'S autographs, has just been purchased at an auction—also for the Trustees of the British Museum. But before we speak of this sixth autograph, we have yet to particularize the fifth —the autograph affixed to the Deed of ' Bargain and Sale, which was sold by auction i❑ 1841, being purchased for 1451. by the Corpo ration of the City of London ! This extraordi nary purchase having been afterwards denounced in Court of Common Coancil as "a most wasteful and prodigalcxpenditure," thestep was vindicated, for, inasmuch as "it was not very likely that the purchase of the autograph would be acted upon as a precedent, " for," quoth the defenders of the act, rather superfluously, " SHAKSPERE stood alone in the history of the world." No wonder, in remembrance of this act of grace and generosity on the part of the London Corporation, no wonder that in referring to the incident CHARLES KNIGHT exclaims, "Honoured be those who have thus shown reverence fur the name of SHAKSPERE !" But there is the Sixth autograph of SHAKSPERE ?HE MODEL OF SEBASTAPOL This morning thu members of the press were favoured with a private view of a splendid model of the Russian stroeghold in the Black Sea, which has just been added to the United Service Museum, Whitehall. The model is the work of Col. Hamilton, C.B. Grenadier Guards, and is about as fine a specimen of this kind of workmanship wo ever witnessed. It is based chiefly upon the survey of the officers of the Royal Engineers, and the Quartermaster General's Department, while a portion is based upon the plans of the Sardinian and Russian armies. It may there fore be pronounced the only nem ate model of the seat cf the late war in the Crimea. The country represented ex tends north and south 14 miles from the river Belbec to Balaklava • and east and we s t IG,i miles from the Cherso nese lighthouse to the Mackenzie farm and Varnutka on a scale of it inches to the wile. It comprises and distinctly shows the sites of the flank march of the allied armies towards Balaklava on the 25th, September, 1851; the general position of the Russians in their advance to the battle of Balaklava, and the position occupied by the gill s on Oct., 1854; the advance of the Russians on Nov. 5, 18 4, to the hattleof Inkerinan, and the position taken up by the allies on that day ; also the advance of the Russians on Aug., 1855, to the attack of the French troops on the Folereeine heights, and the movement of the British and Sardinian armies to the support of their allies; the siege works of the al!ies against Sebastopol, and the Rus sia defences up to the capture of the town on Sept. 8, 1855. The plan also shows the position of the camps of the English, French, Sardinian, and Russian annios to wards the end of the siege ; the railroad, and various roa is of communication ; the entrenchments constructed by the English in front of Kanaiesch ; and also the posi tion of the allied fleets off the harbour of Sebastopol at the close of the siege, derived from the logs of the several men of-war, and front the French Admiralty. The colouring of the model is extremely beautiful, and reflects the highest credit on all par ties conc , rned in its production. Her Majesty, who inspected the model last evening, was pleased to express her admiration, in very flattering terms, of the genius an i talent of Col. Hamilton, the constructor. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen held a Court yesterday after noon at Buckingham Palace. M. Juan B. Alberdi had his first audience, of the Queen, and delivered bi; credentials as Er.voy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Argentine Cmfederation.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TR E BOUT. WESTERN RAILWAY. yet to be mentioned, and the history of that is I of all perhaps the most curious. This autograph has, oddly enough, once or twice been supposed to have been lost irrecoverably. It was known to have existed, and was supposed thus to have been lost beyond the chance of redemption, acci dentally burnt perhaps or otherwise destroyed— until it was discovered in 1768, to his great de light, by Mr. ALBANY WALLIS, a solicitor. It was then found by Mr. WALLIS among the deeds of that very same estate in Blackfriars (of which this was the ancient mortgage deed) at that period (1768), iu the possession of a clergyman of Oxted, Surrey, the Rev. Mr. FEATHERSTONHAUGH. It was theu presented to GARRICK. It was after wards said to have been lent by Mrs. GARRICK to Mr. GEORGE STEVENS, the commentator. It was then reported to have been lost again—appa rently without hope of rezovery. Lost some where—nobody knew where ! Lost sometime— nobody knew when. Lost by somebody —nobody knew whom ! So matters continued in regard to this remarkable—when, lo ! and behold, it comes to light again, and happily, too, in a perfect state of preservation. The ghost of a suspicion is swept clean off the outbarred 'scut cheon of poor Mr. STEVENS' reputation. It now turns out that, after all, the treasure must have remained in the possession —or, at any rate, to have returned into the possession—of Mr. ALBANY WALLIS, the attorney. The partner in the business belonging to Mr. WALLIS was the father of the present, or rather, we should now sey, the recent posscs3or. And now we do really hope that, for once and for all, we have done in regard to this inestimable autograph, with these most tantalising and bewildering mysterious dis appearances. It has been purchased by Mr. BooNE, of Bond-street—Mr. BOONE acting on behalf of the Trustees of the British Museum. So that henceforth, like the signature in FLORIO'S " M9110,1g/le,” the autograph is the national pro perty. Instead of bringing it home for merely 1001., or even 1401., the nation has given just 3151. for this jewel of a manuscript. It is well. Sot a farthing of that will be grudged. It was a golden opportunity, and glad we are that the opportunity was not lost—any more than the Autograph. THE LATE MEEPING AT ST. JAMES'S HA IL. At a numerously att nded meeting of laymen, communicants of the Church of St. Barnabas, held on the 17th of June, ISSB, the following resolutions were moved and passed unanimously : " That whereas the charge lately made against the Rev. Alfred Poole, at v. meeting held at St. James's Hall, June 11, 1858, ara scandalous and false, and are calculated to prejudice Lis appeal to the Archbishop, this meeting declares its heartfelt sympathy with, and undiminished confidense in, Mr, Poole as their minister, who, by his spotless life, and unceasing labours amongst them for 7 years has won the affection of all classes of his people. "2. That this meeting declares its admiration of Mr. Poole's conduct, in the trying en 1 difficult circumstances in which he has been placed ; end that to the best of its belief during his seven years' ministrations at St. Barnabas he has uniformly acted with discretion, and not exceeded in his teaching or practice the doctrines or discipline of the Church of England. " 3. That this meeting, consisting as it does wholly of communicants at. St. Barnabas, distinctly denies that it is the practice of the clergy to nquire confession as a prepa ration necessary to the reception of the Holy Communion ; but it asserts, on the part of the clergy and of the laity, the right of the latter to the practice of confession and the benefit of obsolutian, as set forth in the service for 'Order ing of Priests,' in the Exhortation in the office of Holy Commullioni' and the 'Order for the Visitation of the Sick,' in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. "4. That this meeting has heard with the utmost indig nation of the foul a penions cast, at the meeting at St. James's-hall, upon the reputation of ladies of the most un blemished character, whose exertions and kindness among the poor in the district are hald in the highest estimation by every ono here present, and the greatest confidence is felt by this meeting that the offertory alms have never been misapplied by the clergy or olistriet visitors. ".5. That this meeting Cannot separate without expressing its fervent attachment to the Book of Common Prayer, and its assent to the following passage, extracted from the 36th canon of the English Church :—" That the Book of Com ' mon Prayer, and of ordering of bishops, priests, and deacons, coutaineth in it nothing contrary to the Word of God, and that it may lawfully so be used." "6. Resolved--That a copy of these resolutions be fur warded to the Bishop of London, with an urgent request that his lordship will reinstate the Rev. Alfred Poole in his curacy, or be pleased tostate, for the satisfaction of the district, the grounds of his dismissal. " 7. Resolved,— That a copy of these resolutions be for warel;cl to the Archbishop of the province."

A DANGEROUS PALL.—A young man in the employ of Mr. Wilson, farmer, Cairngarroch, Stoneykirk, was on Toursday lost sent by his master to warn some folk for peat-cutting, and, to save some travel, he had taken a foot-path leading along the edge of the Cairngarroch boughs, and by some means fell over one of them ; fertu nately it was not perpendicular, but rather inclining to a declivity, computed to be nearly 300 feet in depth. Over this the youth rolled ; and it is truly astoniehing how be escaped, not having received a single fracture of bone, although much bruised and out ; some of the nails of Lis fingers are torn off, caused by his desperate efforts to re gain a footing, the time-worn rock giving way at every clutch. When hurled to the Inttom, stunned by the tearful descent, he lay from o'x o'clock on Thursday evening until two o'clock on Friday : fternoon, when ho was dixovered in his ptrilous situation, and at once taken care i f, and is now fast recoverieg from the effects of his fall.— 11' iytowit Free Press.

Smith's suc cessful endeavour to improve the quality of hiz en t-rtainmenta while preserving their unprecedented cheapness. We have noticed the important acces sion to the strength of the company in the person of Madame Pauline Viardot ; and we have now to mention another remarkable accession—that of Madame Persiani, who appeared last night in the " Puritani." Nay, more : we expect to announce in a few days a third accession 03 important as either of the above—that of the veteran Tamburini, who, it is positively stated, has accepted an engagement at this theatre. Tamburini enjoys a green old age, with the mom sang in corpore sano. He will show no great decay of his great powers ; and we may look for a Don Giovanni at Drury-lane by the only actor living who is capable of sustaining the cha racter. Persiani's appearance last night drew an immense audience, by whom the celebrated prima donna was most warmly welcomed. She looked extremely well—even youthful, and acted with the grace and feeling which are so well remembered. Her voice has lost some of its strength and volume ; but it has its old flexibility and clearness. In the fine quartet - , "A te, o cara," she sang with exquisite sweetness ; and in the favourite "Son vergina vez zosa," she was as light and brilliant as ever. The opera, as a whole, was not as well supported es the " Barbiere di Siviglia." Signor Naudin's Attu° is a coarse imitation of Mario ; and Badiali's Gior gio was a careful and intelligent performance, but sadly defective in vocal power. ST. JAMES'S HALL-CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS, The second day concert of this talented black band took place yesterday at St. James's Hall. It was divided into three parts. The first consisted priucipally of separate airs, chiefly by Messrs. Rayner, Collins, Wambold, E. H. Peirce, and Christian, who has a most extraordinary power of voice. The second part was devoted to burlesque dancing and playing chiefly ; and the third comprised the burlesque Italian opera. The peculiar merits of this band, Loth collectively and individually, are too well known to require now much elaborate description. We can only say their plaintive airs are as serious and beautiful as ever ; their comic as characteristic ; and their bur lesque as grotesque and humorous. Neither their vivacity nor their expression of character seem to have been dulled nor abated by frequent repetition; and their audience laughed as heartily and listened as eagerly to the entire entertainment as ever. The audienca had on this occasion the addition of the scholars of the Licensed Victuallers' School, they having been invited, and their approbation was fully shown by the intense enjoyment they manifested and the laughter they indulged in. An announcement was made that the concerts, having been remarkably successful, would b 3 continued during the day occasionally, the evening perform ances still continuing in King William-street. HER MAJESTY AT THE UNITED SERVICE INSTI TUTION. Tho Qneen and,the Prince Congo'', accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Brabant and the Count of Flanders, paid a visit to the United Service institution in Whitehall-yard last ev enin g . Her Majesty was attended by the Duchess of Athol; the Prince Con sort and the Duke of Brabant and the Count of Flanders were on horseback, and in attendance wore Col. Seymour, Col. Bouverie, and Baron d'Overchie de Nerieche. Her Majesty and illustrious party arrived at a quarter before six o'clock. . The chief object, it was understood, of the royal visit was to see the model of Sebastopol just placed among the interesting collection of the institution. The Queen and the Prince Consort and their distin guished friends next viewed a beautiful model of the English cemetery at Cathcart's-hill, the tombstones and graves of each noble and gallant soldier being clearly shown. Captain Siborne's model of the battle of Waterloo was then inspected by the illustrious company. Her Majesty expressed a wish to viait the other apart ments, and subsequently went over the steam model room, where portraits of the notorious Yeh and his father were placed for her Majesty'sinspection, thearmoury, &c. Among the valued relics presented for the Queen's inspection were the signal b ,ok of the Chesapeake, secured when that ship was captured by the Shannon ; Capt. Cook's chronometer, which is now wound up daily; the Arctic relics, obtained by the different expeditions sent out in search of Sir Joh❑ Franklin; and Sir Francis Drake's walking stick. Among the interesting objects submitted to her Majesty was a piece of the timber of the Russian man-of-war the Twelve Apostles, after its immersion for one year in the harbour of Sebastopol, the wood being completely riddled with worm holes. In juxtaposition a piece of English oak was shown the Royal party, which had been buried in Calais harbour for three hundred years, which, beyond being black by the action of the sea water, was quite sound. In an adjoining room was the cage in which Mrs. Noble was carried about during her captivity in China—a rude wooden construction, barely spacious enough to afford comfort to a Cochin China fowl. After passing an hour, the Queen and the Duchess of Brabant, attended by the Duchess of Athola and Col. Bouverie, left for Buckingham Palace. The Prince Consort, with the Duke of Brabant and the Count of Flanders, remained until a quarter past 7 o'clock. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial arrived at St. Cloud yesterday evening, at seven o'clock. Their Majesties and the Prince Imperial are in the enjoyment of excellent health. In addition to Marshal Bosquet, Marshal Can robert also intends going to Plombieres, and remaining there during the stay of the Emperor. We published two days back from the Moniteur a statement respecting the sale of landed property belonging to the Hospice des Orphelines at Roche fort. The official journal had not indicated the source from which the article emanated, and the inference generally drawn from the silence observed on that point was that the document had procee led from the Minister of the Interior, under whose I authcrity such establishments are placed. At pre sent the Moniteur contains a rectification on that head, and states that the note in question ori ginated with the department of the Minister of Marine. The Momiteur publishes the official return of the Customs revenue for the month of May, amounting to 18,127,885 fr., being a decrease of 604,476 fr., as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The receipts of the first five months of thepre sent year have been 73,758,176 fr., or 5,538,851 fr. less than in the same period of 1857. Taking as the point of comparison the five months of the two years, the items which show the principal falling off are sheep and cattle, 31,311 fr. ; mahogany, 81,813 fr. ; potable liquors, 3,490,5261 r. ; cocoa, 27,245 fr. ; coffee, 1,263,145 fr. ; raw cotton, 156,669 fr. ; linen and hempen thread, 169,296 fr. ; oleaginous seeds, 173,800 tr. ; indigo, 90,440 fr. ; raw wool, 481,116 fr. ; rough castings, 677,583 fr. ; bar iron and steel, 132,615 fr. ; silver and gold, 45,9441 r., the amount imported of the former being 3,228,690 fr., and of the latter 886,171 fr. ; nitrate of soda and potash, 34,272 fr. ; pepper, 50,668 f. ; raw and spun silk, 13,685 f. ; foreign sugar, 242,989 f. ; linen and hempen cloth, 222,387 f. ; sundries, 1,515,229 f. The articles which show an improvement are French colonial sugar, 1,696,001 f. ; corn, 756,767 f. ; raw hemp and flax, 122,061 f. ; cochineal, 19,430 f. ; tallow, 6,150 f. ; coal, 566,398 f. ; oil, 209,337 f. ; copper, 6,949 f. ; rough salt, 16,102 f. ; and sulphur, 26,389 f. The Moniteur de l' Armee contains the following : The Nuremberg Correspondent published re cently a Berlin letter announcing that dealers were visiting various parts of Germany and purchasing for the French Government horses for military service. That statement, which has been repeated by several journals, is completely false. The French Government has given no one the mission of purchasing horses abroad, and the resources of France completely suffice to meet the ordinary requirements of her cavalry."

The Government was collect ing funds from the provinces to pay the half year's dividends ; it had received 1,920,000 reals from Andalusia, and was expecting large ones from Castille, Valencia, and other provinces. The Seville newspapers say that the odium has done scarcely any harm to the vines of the Sherry district of Serey de la Froutera. The same journals state that English tocieties c'rculate great numbers of bibles tracts, professions of Protestant faith, cCc., ezc., in Andalusia. A letter from Belgrade of the 11th says : " After the dispersion of the band which endea voured to cut down the English flag, nothing ex traordinary has taken place here, except that the Council of Ministers has assembled, and that the foreign co,.su•.s were admitted to its deliberations.

The German Universal Gazette contains an on dit to the effect that Prince Alfred of England will shortly arrive in Berlin and enter the first regi ment of the Guard, in order to become acquainted with the Prussian military service. The Chamber of Deputies of Hanover in ita sitting of the 18rh rejected by a majority of 43 the propoiition of the Government for the creation of several secondary articles. The Chamber also re jected by a majority of 41 the demand of a credit for the construction of three new infantry barracks. GREAT FIRE AT FRESH WHARF, LONDON FRIDGE. Yesterday morning a fire, involving the destruction of property even to a greater amount than the one that took place on Saturday night at Limehouse, broke out on Fresh Wharf, Lower Thames-street, adjoining Lon don bridge. The premises are well known to most steamboat passengers passir g along the river, as covering an immense space of ground, on which stood a great number of lofty warehouses, containing in the whole property valued at more than a million sterling. Is appears that about a dozen men employed on the wharf had their attention directed to huge bodies cf smoke as black as soot issuing from the loopholes and windows of the silk floor. Feeling satisfied that a fire had occurred, they at once gave information to Mr. Charles Clark, the inspector of the wharf, who sent for Mr. Inspector Kilbey, at Seething lane. Mr. Inspector Mitchell next arrived with a body of police, followed by numerous engines of the London Brigade, and that of the West of England Company, bringing with them Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, Acting-foreman Bridges, and several other officers. A good supply of water was obtained from the land Fide of the premises, on which the engines were made to play ; but the fire continuing to spread, the two steam floating engines were sent for, and the one stationed at Rotherhithe, and that from Southwark bridge arrived in little nore than a quarter of an hour. The whole of this force was called into full operation, but the flames continued their ravages until they reached the upper floor, and although the water from the floate kept felling in torrents, the firemen could not prevent the roof being destroytd. It, however, quickly fell in, and enabled the firemen to throw about 2,800 gallons of water per minute from each cf the floating engines, th e water ran down through the diff eren t fl oors and completely saturated them. By 12 at neon, just four hours and a half after the commencement of the misfortune, the firemen began to see that their labours were successful, and no apprehensions need be feared of any further extension of the mischief, but so great was the body of fire which even then remained iu the three upper floors, as to preclude the possibility of the fire being entirely extinguished until late in the evening. The property known to be destroyed must be ennr moue. It was stated that one house alone had 25,0001 worth of silk in the building, but although the infor mation aas obtained from an official of the wharf it is to be hoped that he bees made a mistake in the amount. The lessee of the premises, it is understood, was Mr. Knibb, the whalfirger. During the fire oee or two accidents occurred. An engineer, naztv-el Holloway, employed on one of the steam-fl ;ate, got his band entangled in a cogwheel, and will probably have t) undergo amputation. A. bri gade fireman, named Crosby, was severely injured in the same way. TEE GREAT FIRE AT LIMEIcI,USE.—At the great fire, ahicla took p!ace on Saturday Light, at the extensive boat-building premises of the Messrs. F,rresl, Lime house, we regret to state that six life-boats, belonging to the R,.yal Natiottal Lif,b:mt Listi'ution, were also un f.irtunately consumed. The life-boats were nearly all completed, and arrangements were about to be made to send them to their stations at Cromer and Bacton, Nor folk; Frazerburgh, in Scotland ; and Rosslare and Kul more on the Iriab coast. Some life-boat fittings, cork hfe-belts, liquid lif,.-boat compasses, cordage, and ot4er valuable st, res, were likewise entirely lost to this phi lanthropic insitution, which has Gf late years been making such great efforts to supply the coast with tfd cent life-boats. BISHOPSTOKE, JUNE 21. Beyond the facts elicited at the inquest, and the D aisies and particulars of the sufferers by the accident which occurred last night, there is very little to communicate in addition to the statement with which I furnished you by telegraph. The cause of the carriages getting off t he line seems involved in• inextricable mystery, The fol . lo wing is a list of the deceased and injured passengers, as far as known : William Helsey, aged 40, steel, copperplate, on 4 li hographic printer, of No. 8, Seacual-lane, city—killed . Sarah Lovell, aged 22, niece of the deceased, sustained severe injury to the soft parts of the loft arm, an Extensive fracture connected with the elbow joint, k%# the ligbt shoulder lacerated to a great extent, SA; b ar s the ligaments, besides considerable prostration of the eYIP . tern. She is still in great danger. Eugene Perin, aged 24, basket maker, of Leather' lane, has an extensive lacerated wound of the left arm, producing a fracture connected with the elbow•join,t' The injury to the soft parts is so extensive that his iir s is still considered in danger, and some days must elapse before any steps can be taken as to amputation (mother' wise. These me the only two cases left here, all the reSt having gone on to London in the train. Six medico gentlemen were in attendance upon the sufferers last night—viz., Dr. Fox, son of Mr. L. 0. Fox, surgeon, ° I , Broughton, near Romsey ; Mr. Brooks, surgeon, Biehopstolte ; Dr. Hearne, Mr. Welch, and Mr. logo' of Southampton ; and a gentleman who was a passengef in the train, described on his card as "Docteur Piednoel, 3, Boulevart. de Sebastopol (Rive Gauche): The two surviving patients remain under the care of Dr. Hearne at the Junction Hotel. The inquest on the deceased man Helsey was copy menced at 4 o'clock this afternoon, at the hotel, before Mr. J. H. Todd, county coroner, and a respectablejele Mr. Archibald Scott (traffic manager), Mr. W. F. GO son (superintendent of traffic), and Mr. John StraPP (resident engineer), were in attendance to watch the case on the part of the South-Western Railway Company' Having been sworn, the jury proceeded to view the body of the deceased, which presented a frightful appearance , the skull being dreadfully fractured and smaehed, laying open to view the top of the spinal cord. They Pel t examined the line, which afforded no clue whatever to the cause of the accident. The carriages went off th e line at the points, and appear to have been dragged about 50 yards before the spot was reached where klev sey was killed. Singularly enough, two cf the manse got safely on to an inner line of rails, dragging Or along the third-class carriage, which contained the ferers, between the two lines until the coupling cha ir/ broke. Not the slightest injury was dune to the rail° , and even a scratch on the ground is scarcely to be seer' When the carriage turned over the deceased's head nape in contact with the lever of the points, which caused the injuries to his skull, and the ground and broken iron are stained with the poor fellow's blood. On returning t ° the jury-room, Tne Coroner observed that he bad held his office longel than this railway had been opened, and it was only rig s he should say this was the first case of a passenger bei°, A killed on the line in which he had been called on to h° l " an inquest, although an extensive portion of the railwel ran through his district. This was a fact creditable t° the management of the South-Western Company. Mrs. Elias Helsey, widow of the deceased, was tu: first witness examined. She stated that the train at up from Portsmouth at about the usual pace, and 6° " observed nothing peculiar until the moment of the e° ° ' . dent. Ail of a sudden, as they approached the stati°, P ' she found the carriage turn round like a top, which vl e ,' the first thing noticed calculated to produce als r :', There were about 30 persons in the carriage, which 17 " i a third class one. Deceased was standing up looking 0 ", of the carriage, when it turned over on its side. T be ' t , all fell together in a heap, and deceased's head struck ° a bar of iron which was on the lino He had a cap which came off. On looking towards her husband Pi saw the iron under his head, and his head crushed s O , bleeding very much, and the brains scattered about. Pa. never spoke or moved afterwards.

Tilbury Fox, M. 8., of the General Lying, e i Hospital, York-road, London, was next examineoi e e was in the Southampton train yesterday evening a minutes before 8 o'clock, and saw the Portsmouth tt,lo shut off steam a long way down the line. I lost sig o i of the train for a few seconds by some interceP t t i o buildings, and when we pulled up to allow th e Portsmouth train to go on a-head, I looked out ol eo window and observed some coufenion at the stativj Hearing that some carriages had got off the rail s got out and walked up the line, and found a third-cirt, carriage turned over on its side. The railway serO li t i were engaged in taking out the passengers, and par the carriage roof was knscked off for that purposeeei then saw the deceased lying on his left side, with hilPie on the ground. I saw at once that he was dead, skull being extensively fractured. An iron bar ruo Pl e along the side of the carriage was lying upon the 13 1 ) ;# side of his Lead, and forced into it. Seeing that h°, o r dead, and other prssengers were seriously injured, tended to them. I did not see the deceased reneolvt but saw him again afterwards when he had been O tt rf into the waiting room. He had an extensive fO c t iel of the skull, which was laid open in such a manne r death must have been immediate. of John Gibbons, the engine-driver in charge of th e r e' cursion train from Portsmouth, said that nothioli t ge markable occurred until the train arrived at the e ta at 7.48 p.m. The steam was shut off two miles fr o° o o , station, and the train ran in at the rate of about 0. , '00 or eight miles an hour. After turning the curve Ji j oil got about 20 yards from the points when I felt 01 1 i de jerk of the engine, as if something was rot quite t i : jjoi I immediately saw a man in front of the engine V ea ce both his hands up as a signal to stop. I reversed t° o o l , gine acidstopped the train in about 20 yards. There 18 car' iages in the train. I then got off the engi'e" ., o fel wont hack, and found a third-clasa carriage turns°, 0° on its Fide. I assisted in getting out a little gi r "e ol alto the deceased, who was quite dead. The el l pes and 14 of the carriages were on the replier lice, 0. 0 0! ' guards'-van and a first-class carriage were on the i t oe, line against the platform. I can form no idea wb A co s°: as to the cause of the separation, and can only for the third clays carriage being turned over Itel, separation. I examined the rails, and could see p ° r ile to explain the accident. Only one carriage t e e, over. There was another carriage off the rai ls rot' l did not turn over. I saw the pointsman at thsi a td place. I cannot say whether the carriages got &V o l I°, points or after passing them. If the pointemao doe go the points before all the carriages had pat° that would not account for the accident. d 4 l/11 John Titheridge, pointsman on duty, expls- I ;sie duties, and his compliance with them on this o o He hied the handle till all the carriages vit te l e the points, but if he had not done so the Effect victoi/i; have been to throw the carriages off the line. T 118 ; 6 1 1 :0 were self-acting, and were only held to insure P safety, and save wear and tear.
