Now that we have got rid of tha "faction fights" La the House of Commons, as objectionable in *heir way as any that formerly occurred in the South or West of Ireland, and which recent oc currences in Belfast have shown to be not altc *ether obsolete, there is some reason to hope that the actual business of the nation may be dis (weekly and fairly ceeried on. The Palmerstonians have, even at tae ele veutti hour, d;s • covered that their ardent cravings fur DM ' mud be shelved for a more convenient opportunity. Their most rampant advocates cannot perceive any opening for another onslaught, and therefore it may reasonably be anticipated th a t no new disturbance will be originated, and that even the " veteran Yisc „ tit and " the sm all Johnny" will acquiesce in their inevitable exclusion from p l ac e and power during the few remaining weeks of the current session. Toe most important question will be brought forward' this everiiug. The consideration of the resolutions relating to the future Government o f India, on which the future welfare, happiness, and prosperity of at least 150,000,000 of "our fellow subjects so greatly depend, will be resumed. We earnestly desire that it may be in a proper spirit, without reference to party objects, and that the uture of India may not be made the shuttlecock to be cast to and fro between contending battle dores. Our next impression will probably show whether we may anticipate a result so greatly to be desired by every unprejudiced and disinterested person. The chief topic of the evening will be Mr GLADSTONE'S amendment. The Right Honour able Gentleman wishes to prolong, if he cannot perpetuate, the existence of the moribund com pany. He will be contented if he can extend their existence for another year, although lie will be still better pleased if he can secure a still longer enjoyment under a different designation. "The rose by any other name will smell as sweet." And the Board of Directors would now be quite satisfied if they could, by a touch of the enchanter's wand, be transmuted into the " Council of India," and retain the patronage to which they fancy that they are entitled, and the deprivation whereof they affect to regard as an aot of confis cation. Mr. GLADSTONE proposes " That re gard being had to the position of affairs in India, it is expedient to constitute the Court of Directors of the East India Company, by an act of the present session, to be a council for ad ministering the government of India, in the name of her MAJESTY, under the superintendence of such responsible Minister, until the end of the next ses sion of Parliament." In the event of the adoption of the foregoing resolution, to move, thereafter : "And that in the said administration the Court of Directors, so constituted to. be a council, be subject to all the powers at present vested by law in the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India ; and furthermore, that the President of the said Commissioners be empowered to preside, when and so often as he shall think fit, ever the Court of Directors in lieu of the Chairman thereof, and to assume and exercise any of the powers now ordinarily exercised by such Chair man." Now we are byno means favourablydisposed to wards the magnates of Leadenhall-street, and should not willingly protract their exist ence by a single hour. It was the policy of "confiscation," which they origi nated that mainly led to the mutiny and rebel lion in Hindostan, that caused all the terrible expenditure of blood and treasure so greatly to be deplored. The evils, however, arose from the system rather than the parties. We have no complaint against the individuals. They are, and we say it in perfect good faith, —" All honourable men—men whose words would be accepted in any private transaction, and against whose 'lonour and integrity net a word could be uttered. The groat evil is the double Government, and the innumerable delays and want of energy inseparable therefrom. We want an independent council, and we should not have the slightest objection if the membera of coun cil were selected from the present board. But they are, to a certain extent, fettered by traditions of Leadenhall street, and cannot quite extricate themselves from red tapist bonds. It would, therefore, be desirable that the change of Government should be effected as speedily as possible, and a permanent Board established, which cannot be that of the gentlemen now dominant in Leadenhall-street. But, con sidering the late period of the session, and the prevailing differences of opinion, it may be impos sible for any Administration, however powerful, to obtain the legislative sanction to a final measute before the Prorogation. It may be essential to enter into . a compromise, and the great point is to decide what are the best terms that can be obtained for India and for Great Britain. We have every reason to believe that Lord STANLEY, who was re-elected in the most flittering manner on Saturday, will make a general statement re specting the Mini2terial int mations this evening. He has spared no pains to qualify himself for the duty. Although the heir to what, up to last weak was the Premier Earldom of Eng• land, and to a fortune fully competent to main tain with dignity that high position, he early discovered the important truth that there was no Royal road ti Statesmanship. He determined to see and judge for himself, and to endure all the inconvenience, danger, and annoyance of an Indian tour, in order to enable him to arrive at a correct decision. Hu ascertained the facts in the most laborious man ner, and he has the judgment and ability to turn these facts to the best account. We shall await the expected statement this evening, with curiosity, not anxiety, for we are convinced that it will fully maintain the well-established reputa- I tion of the new President of the India Board. The Electors of Lynn very considerately wished to save Lord STANLEY'S time. The present absurd state of the law requires a member of the Cabinet, who merely changes one office in it for another, to vacate his seat. As Lord STANLEY had bee❑ before his constituents, therefore, so very recently, many of the electors signed a me morial requesting him, at the present moment, not to inconvenience himself by coming down to Lynn, as there was no doubt of his return. To this address, Lord STANLEY replied, accepting " with some regret the indulgence so CJnsi derately offered." There was no need for his Lordship to enter at length into his political views, well known as they are,and so recently stated; those, however, on which he laid stress in so brief a letter are, therefore, obviously, those in which he feels the deepest interest. The last sentence shows that we were not mistaken in what we wrote of him last Friday ; we have always divided our leading men into those who can, and those who cannot trust the people—Lord STANLEY dis tinctly ranks himself with the former class—no institutions —he says, can in our age be stable un less they rest on the freely-given support of a can tented because a trusted people."—On the very day on which we characterised him as one of this class, he, quite unknown to us, was writinc , these words to his constituents. Amongst other matters, too, while both Whi gs and old-sohool Tories are quarrelling with the country on so manysemi.ecclesiastical questions, we notice, with pleasure, the remark,"l will resist to the utmost, by i m partial justice totvards a ll sects, and undue deference to n one, the disorganisin g influ ences of sectlritn riv,lry, influences which, wher ever they have largely prevailed, have bean fatal alike to the greatness of an empire and to the happiness of a community." We hope, too, that another sentence is an indication that his Lordship strongly disap proves of the way in which the Government de partments have cheated the nation in regard to really public competitive ex tminations. " I wish," he says, "to see the public service open to talent in all ranks, and the advantages of instruction 'extended as widely as possible." When his Lordship thus coupes extension of education with opening the public service to talent —he must mean that he wishes the service to be used as a stimulus t 3 intellectual industry. j : A We beg to refer the Right thin. BENJAMIN DIS RAELI to the Economist, vol. XVI., No. 771, SAtur day, June 5, A.D., 1858. W. no careful in our reference, since we would not, for the world, have rtin SUN, LONDON, MON DAY EVENING, JUNE ___:7, 1858. him miss seeing the right article. He will find it on page 619, and it is headed " THE BALLOT NO PART or TRUE LIBERALISM." We beg the HOB. Member to read it most attentively, and we would beg him to believe it, at least till after Tues day, to be irrefutable. If, however, he be too busy to read a column of economical print, and [aside this] we almost wish he may be—we will give him the cream of the sentences we wish him to believe—here they are : No. 1. " With Toryism it would amalgamate well, we should expect to see the Ballot if it were ever carried, one of the strongest supports of a Tory Government!" No. 2. " The Tory has generally maintained his absolute and irresponsible right to use his political influence as he pleases, without any answerability (a new word for you, Mr. DISRAELI) to the public at large." No. 3. " Who can doubt that the triumph of the principle of secret voting would really be the triumph of Toryism—the triumph of the influence of wealth and rank and patronage, over that desire for public esteem, which still influences so powerfully and so beneficially the minds of elect ars." No. 4. "We are convinced that the Ballot, if really efficient, might soon become a most powerful instrument in the hands of the Tory party ; we are sure that it would utterly paralyse the hands of all true Liberals." There—that is enough. Read those four extracts, Mr. DlSRAELl—confide in an Editor who was once, to the best of our knowledge and belief, a Radical—but who is now become a devoted adherent of Lord PALMERSTON—and don't be restive at the mention of PALMERSTON— the Record, who a year ago recorded that he was the " Man of Gop," a week or two back recorded that " Lord PALMERSTON was as good a Tory at heart as Lord DERBY." Confide, there fore, in Mr. Miter of the Economist, and take these sentences to Lord DERBY, and get him to agree forthwith that you and all your party shall support Mr. BERKELEY on Tuesday night. You never had such an opportunity before, and may not soon have it again. You may ruin PALMER STON and RUSSELL for ever. They may sit on the Opposition Benches till they wear the seats through, but never will they turn you out if you make every elector a downright Tory by giving him the ballot. You must see, sir, that the ballot will do it ; for it will enable him—to shorten ex- Secretary WILSON'S long sentences—it will enable him "to do what he will with his own." From the enactment of the ballot, therefore, every voter will be a real practical Tory, anti of course he will vote for Tories only, Q.E.D. We are sure you— Mr. DISRAELI and Lord DERBY—are convinced. We have asked your votes for the ballot before, because come it must, and you might as well carry it and get the credit of it as any one else. But, thanks to Mr. WiLsoN lately—that is, since he left vulzar Radicalism, enjoying 2,5001. at the Trea sury, and now, we believe, by virtue of a few days over six years' service, enjoying a pension— thanks to him, you are now sure, mathematically sure, of making by the ballot a whole nation of Tories ! If you fail to vote for the ballot, there fore, to-morrow, we shall hold you for political suicides. Now, here you must stop—your time is precious—and the rest of our remarks are merely a little special pleading with the hoodwinked Radicals, to persuade them, nevertheless, to lend you their aid in making Tories of the people. We now, therefore, speak to all goad Radicals, and to all good Liberals, too, who dislike the name Radical—for, in truth, it does not befit the Brahmin caste—but yet are sound at heart, and ' such Liberals there are ; we want a word with them. And first, we would cheer them up, shoul I they have beard our conversation with Mr. DISRAELI, and, above all, should they have read the solemn prose of our Economical Contemporary. We may assure them, if they need assuring, that it is all solemn—bosh—that is all. What it means leaks out iu the second sentence—or shall we call it the first sentence— since only a short statement precedes—one we believe to be as true as any of the prophecies in the House of Co•nmona' j )urnals—" that Mr. BERKELEY is to bring forward his motion f)r the Ballot on Tuesday night." Well, whether we call that the first sentence or net, we like it well —the next is at least the first sentence of bosh, or introductory to bosh, for there is some truth in it ; this is it—" We see that many of our Liberal contemporaries are raising a cry that ad hesion to the principle of the Ballet should be made a sine qua non for any Ministry honoure with the confidence of the Liberal party." We wish the Economist were more economical of words. He might then have found time and room to say " Ministry which shall be honoured," for woefully does the editor rue the fact that no Ministry is just now honoured with that confidence. Well—we are sorry for it—but we must now ask our readers to strip—and to prepare for a plunge ! Pearls, especially anti-3 diet pearls, are not to be got in shallow water. Here, at the beginning, we are told that the antagonism of the Billet to liberal principles is profound —(reader, profound antagonism—profound strugglings and wrestling —are not ours ; it is really as they say—sic : or lest that cant expression should be unpleasantly misunderstood —sic in origine ; and at the end, too, the editor is still in the deeps—dealing with "evils which lie deeper than the great evils the Ballot is intended to remedy." Our readers will believe that the evils then are deep enough ; we tremble for the divers—but let us see. The first of these deep-sea antagonisms to libe ralism is this—That "the Ballot attempts to guard the elector's political freedom, at the sacrifice of almost all the elector's political influence." The mere vote is as nothing compared with the effect of " honestly declared convictions working through numberless social channels." Deep indeed ! yet we, that cannot yet dive so deep, can see no antagonism between " honestly declared convic tions" and a " secret vote." " We feel most profoundly," as he of the Economist says, that is, as profoundly as we shallow-water folks can do, that all the honest men can now honestly declare their canvictione if doing so won ' t starve them—and vote honestly in addition. Next, we " feel profoundly," also, that all the honest men who would lose their own bread, and their wife's bread, and their children's broad by "declaring their convictions" can abstain from doing it, and could, with the la 411(), give at least as [ieu,J.)L T likes figures —we mean arithmetical figures—for to othe r fi gures h e h as a " pro f oun d antagonism' as he wo o l 4 say. It seems then to us to stand thus; under the ballot —Liberals have " the influence of honestly& clare I conviction s,"plus honest votes,plus also the honest votes of those who dare not declare their honest convictions. Under public voting they have the influence of honestly declared conviction 4, plus honest votes, but, minus the votes of those who dare not declare their convictions. For the life of us we cannot perceive how the influence of any man's convictions, if the man had either cha racter or arguments to give weight to them, could. be lost under secret voting. Arguments mild not be - affected by it. Character would need nothing but the assertion of intention to vote f o r this man or that. Indeed, it would not need so much, since character includes consistency. The deepest argument of all is, of course, that under the ball ht we shall all be Tories, that we shall "do what we will with our own," that we shall regard the votes as our own, that we shall no longer give them patriotically, at the bidding that is of those Patriots—the landlord, the banker, the mortgagee, the customer, and the creditor, or at the bidding of the patriotic distributor of five-pound notes—these last patriots always wishing for a poll-book receipt for their votes. Well—and why should not we give them, as each man thinks they will be for his own good ? No can • didate can offer us, under the ballot, any personal advantage but what must reach us through public measures —measures, therefore, which will benefit the majority with us. What public measures will benefit me, and what public measures will benefit the nation must bo generally, and if men are en lightened, always, identical questions. N.)v.-, electors are required to vote for the advantage of their masters or their purchasers, who of course are patriots. We must beg, however, to be excused from any further descent into the profundities of the Econo mist. We only fear that both Tories and Whigs of the RUSSELL and PALMERSTON school have a profound conviction, or an interest, or an intui tion, or something, that tells them to beware of the ballot—as they wish to keep office, place, and power for the ariitObracy ; as they would enjoy jobbing and patronage unmolested ; and AS they would perpetuate the monopolies of their order in Church and State. When the Economist has converted one staunch Whig or Tory to his own belief, we could almost pledge ourselves to adopt his faith. L &TEST NEWS, TRIESTE, JUNE 5. By private advices from Cattaro it appears that two French line-of-battle ships have anchored before Budna. The French Vice-Admiral and the Consul of France, who had gone to Cettigna, returned thence the day before yesterday. The above-mentioned ships have since arrived at Gravosa. TURIN, JUNE 5.

Schenk has been nominated President of the Government. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried 14 men, one in flight by default, for having formed a secret political society for the assassination of the Emperor and the overthrow of the Govern ment. It was proved and not denied by some . of the accused that the society existed, and that - its intention was to make an attempt to kill the Em peror, and create insurrection, in the early part of March ; also that it was in communication with re fugees in Landon, and received a delegate from them, and that it was likewise in communication with the conspiracy at Chalons-sur-Saone. It was further proved that the conspirators met in wine shops in the Rue du Petit.Carreau, the Rue de Cnarenton, and the Boulevard Contrescarpe, and in the gardens of the Palais Royal and Luxembourg. Lastly, it was shown that some of the men had at tempted to make ful minating powder, and bad bees appointed chiefs of particular districts in Paris to take part in the projected insurrection. One of the prisoners ad mitted that he had discussed with some of his fellow-conspirators the best plan of killing the Emperor, and that they had come to the conclusion that it would be to stop his Majesty's carriage when out driving, and then to at ack him. Toe tribunal condemned three of the men, named Moulin, Aubrey, and Liasse, to eighteen months' imprisonment, and the first named to 500 fr. fine, and the last two to 300 fr. each ; one named Champin to fifteen months' imprisonment, and 200 fr. fine ; another, Buurnichon, to thirteen months, and 200 fr. fine ; another, Marly, to six mouths, and 100 fr. fine ; three others to three months each, one to two months, and another to one month. All eleven were besides condemned to five years' interdiction of civil rights. The other three prisoners were acquitted. Moulin is a com mercial clerk. All the others are workmen.

The fine opera, "Btrbiere di Siviglia," which ranks as prominently in the productions of Ro , sini as "Don Giovanni" does in the works of Mozart, was produced at this theatre last Saturday, for the first time this season, with a cast that was well calculated to win the applause and the admiration evoked. Mario's Almaviva is unquestionably the finest on the opera stage ; and on this occasion he sang with even more than his accustomed excel lence, giving the e',.quisite music of the part with the flowing pu r ity an d careful finish which emi nrnteleyodriisdtienagtueisihi etehilois,, was most effectively andartist. The beautiful ai r , E tenderly easranu'egs'and the duets with Ronconi were enthusiastically rece i v ed. Thteße "rich artho/o o a f n Z d e r l a g , e e, r , , though earnestly the retne s ro tu b d r i ate a ondf well sung could not the vocal giant, LablachP, whose racy humour, magnificent voice and genuine cordiality not only with his part, but with his audience— have lett a role in the " Doctor " which we must be content to see rendered rather as a shadowy sket c h th a n as a full toned picture. Madame Bosio is a spirited Rosina, and interpreted the music in a very charming and animated man ner, though her natural organ is somewhat too vivid and high in tone to be thoroughly suited to the part. The Figaro of Ranconi is most admi rable. His, humour, vivacity, and activity give great zest to the character, and constitute him one of the best and most mercurial "Barbers" we have ever seen. Tagliatice undertook the part of Basilico iu place of Herr Formes ; and proved a very safe and acceptable substitute. The whole opera *as most carefully and correctly put upon the stage and yielded intense pleasure to a brilliant and crowded audience. Her Majesty awl suite honoured the perform ance with their presence, and among the visitors were numbered— The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton (née Princess Mary of Baden), the Duke of Wellington and Lady Julia Hay, the Duke of Rutland, the Duchess of Mon trose, the Duchess of Richmond and Lady Cecilia Gor. don Lennox, the Marquis of Hartiogton, the Countess of Kinnouil, the Earl of Gifford, the Earl of Luca!), the Earl and Countess of B ctive, the Earl and Countess of Bessborough and Lady Kathleen Ponsonby, the Earl of Lonsdale ' the Earl of Coventry, the Countess of Care, Lord IL Gordon Lennox, M.P., Lord George Gordon Lennox, Viscount Exmouth, Viscount Ranelagh, Lady BLzabeth Bulteel and the lion.

STEA3I COMLIONIC:a10:1 A.:;;; AY AND AMERICA —The Government merits much credit for the prompt attention to that most important European en terprise, the Atlantic Steam Navigation Company 1)3. tween Gal say and America, as it appears the Postmaster General has given orders that a vessel is to leave Gal way on Friday, the 181) inst., so that letters posted in London before three o'clock on Thursday, the 17th inst., marked " via Galway, for America,' will go by the steam-ship Indian &noire, which is to be the pio neer of the new line. This in many respects is acknow ledged as an important step in the right direction, being a saving of two days, and avoiding the dan gers of Ch an nel navigation, arid, consequently, a reduction of rates of insurance and m ) re safety to life — witness the Tayleur and Great Britain , w hich were both loot in th e Channel ; and, what is very important to the publi c , a low rate of fares and freights is to be adopted, in addition to the advantages of a direct and more expeditious route. This line will no doubt become 3 f imperial and military importance, because by hay ing spare steamers lying in Galway Bay,' which is large enough to anchor the fleets of the whole worl I, we should be enabled to assemble within four hours and dispatch 2,000 or 3,000 troops eiater to America or any part of the globe. This project, if skilfully and ener getically conducted, must eventually become the mail rotes, for tar.) Continent and the English mails, as the saving of time thereby will bo most important. MONTENEGRO. VIENNA, Juue 2.—Attention must be particu larly directed to what is passing on the east cosst of the Adriatic, for there are symptoms which lead to the belief that very serious complications will arise out of the Montenegrin question. The French Gki vernment is greatly exaspera , ed against Turkey acid Austria, and the sending of ships-of-theline to the Adriatic is a demonstration against bo:h Powers. Almost all the Austrian vessels of war are now in some port, where they are protected by land batteries, and the screw sloop Frederic, which was to have gone from Alexandria to Naples, has received orders to return home without delay. No trepidation is observable here, and there are no unusual armaments, but it is evident that the Aus trian Government is on its guard. The recruits rais , d in March were enrolled a fortnight ago, and are already being drilled. Everything connected with the army is kept as secret as possible, but still it is known to me that 600,000 men can be in the field in a month, and 750,000 in seven cr eight weeks. The concentration cf troops in Russian Po land must be considered a kind of demonstration against Austria, but the latter remains passive, as she can, by means of the railrotds, reinforce her army in Galicia in a very short time. That this Government does not even dream of an active in tion in Montenegro need hardly be said. terven The Nord has just been deprived of the privi lege of tieing sold by the postal authorities throughout the whole Austrian empire. The Im perial post-offices will no longer receive subserip ti ms for the Nord. This is an indication, among many others, of the nature of the relations at pre sent subsisting b,tween Austtia and Russia. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 6. The royal mail steamship Persia has arrived with advices from New York to the 27th ult., having been detained till 5.15 p.m. on that day in conse quence of the low state of the water on the Bar, caused by strong easterly gales. Previous to start ing an extra mail wai put on board. She brought $390,410 specie on freight. The British outrages question continued to be the all absorbing theme in political circles, and the ex citement iu reference to it is said to have startled our representative at Washington. The correspondent of the Neto York Herald says— It is understood that Lord Napier communicated with the British Admiral, on the West India station, as well as with his Government on the subject. While he is without official information he does not hesitate, as a private individual, to express his opinion that there has been some mistake about the instruction., and that his Government will make satisfactory explanations." The whole of the naval officers in Washington ara to be employed, even though not in a position equal to their rank or claims. - Two New York regiments had tendered their services to the President in case of war with this country, and an additional appropriation of $50,600 for the Brooklyn navy yard had been made. The Minister of Marine bad given orders fur the armament and departure of all the, ships of war; the steamers Arctic and Waterwitch included. The brig Maria Tribon, which had arrived at Boston, reported that she was boarded in the har bour of Sagua La Grande by men from a British cr. uiQer. The John and Albert, arrived at New Orleans from Gen-n, reito:ted Laving b.cn fired into five times by a British vessel of war. A Bill had been iutrodu3ed into the Senate enabling the President to obtain by force prompt re.lress for the perpetration of outrages upon Vie flag, soil, or citizens, of the United States, or upon their property. It proposes to authorise the Pre sideut to make reprisals wherever the adoption of such a course is deemed necessary. A loan bill for $850,000, redeemable at any time after the ex piration of 15 years from the Ist of January next, to be issued at a rate of interest not exceeding 0 per cent., has passed the Senate. The Committee on Post-offices of the House of Represent dives have determined to report a bill for ocean mail routes. They are to consist of the Collins line to Southampton instead of Liverpool, a line from New York to Havre, a line from Gluch stadt, via Plymouth pnd. RAterdam, and aline from New Orleans via Havannah, Bermuda, Fay , !l, and Santander, to Spain. the subsidy to be limited to 700,000 do's. per annum. The steamship Tennessee, from Vera Cruz, had arrived at New Orleans with dates of the 21st ult. Communication between the interior and Vera Cruz had been opened again. The city had been again blockaded for three days by the Go vernment steamer Guerero, but in consequence of her fuel being out she was obliged to leave to obtain a supply. The hopes of the Reactionists were considerably damped, and the confidence of the Constitutionalists proportion ately revived, and they were anticipating an easy victory. Nothing is sail of the whereabouts of Jaurez and his Cabinet. Ad vices from Tampico report that the war in that State was over. In the New York money-market, on the 25th, although the weather was unpropitious for street operations, the market was more buoyant than previously, and capital continued abundant at from 3 to 7 per cent. ; foreign exchange was more freely offered, but quotations were not fully settled. The shipment of gold for the week was expected to approach $1,000,000. The decrease in the specie average was less than was expected by the move ments of the week, and showed th ►t the receipts must have been large. THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. PLYMOUTH, MONDAY MORNING. The African Steam Navigation Company's packet Ethiopo, Commander Croft, arrived at midnight. Her dates are :—Old Calabar, April 27th ; Came roona, 28th ; Fernando Po, 29th ; B army, May sth ; Lagos, 7th ; Accra, 9th ; Cape Coast, 11th ; Liberia, 15th ; Sierra Leone, 19th ; Bathurst. 26 . h; Goree, 24th ; Teneriffe, 29th ; Made ra, 31st. The Ethiope brings 3,0001. golddust, a general cargo, principally palm oil, and 29 passengers, in cluding his Excellency Governor Fino and Dr. Davies from Cape Coast Castle, Captain Campbell, and Captain Hicklyn, R.N., from Sierra Leone, and Lieut. Dunn, from the Gambia. In consequence of informaticn received in Mon rovia, Commander Croft left in the Ethiope, on the 14th of April, and on the 15th fell in with the French ship Ccelißegina, 420 tons in the possession of a large number of negroes who were not able to manage her. After a parley, the second officer of the Ethiope, with part of the crew, went oa board, when about 250 of the negroes swam to the shore, where nearly the whole were murdered by the captain of the French ship and natives. It ap pears that the Cceli Regina, which is completely fitted for the slave trade, had been cruising for a month near Cape Palmas, and, under pretence of taking them to a better place, had secured 500 negroes, who were immediately placed between decks, many of them in irons. When Captain Simon was ashore at ,Manna, cn the coast of Liberia, and part of the crew in a boat alongside, the negroes procured firearms, and shot all but tho doctor and two of the seamin, whom they retained to steer the ship. Captain Simon came within gunshot several times afterwards, but was not al lowed to come on board. The Gull Regina was towed into Manrovia, where she was left in pos sesion of Mackelvie. purser of the Ethiope. Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon was at Fernando Po disabled, and waiting orders for England. The Pluto left Bonny May 14th for Old Calabar. The Lark was at Liberia. The Childers and Spitfire were under orders to leave Sierra Leone for a cruise, and the Ardent for the leeward coast. The mail ship Armenian was at Madeira. The merchant ships Elizabeth, Emily Mossile, Mary Ann Beaufort, and Porto Novo were at Came roe 09. The PAramatta, Rolerick Dhu, Abeona, Fanny Africa, Loodeauch Endraght, and Thornhill, were at Old Calabar. The Claugregor, Tapely, Charles Horsfall, Ellen Grant, Crown, Bloudine, Osprey, America, and Mermaid were at Bonny. The brig Tennaul, with the British Consul, left 4th May for Old Calabar. The ship Abbott, with 15 various sail, were at Lagos. The brig Dromo, with three others, was at Accra ; and the ship Madras at Sierra Leone. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL—The anniversary of this noble charity in Gray's-inn-lane is to be celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presidency of Earl POWi3, on Wednesday, the 9th. Before the founding of this charity on the principle of free and instant relief, without the delay and trouble of seeking a governor's letter by the destitute poor in times of illness, by Dr. Marsden, hospital relief in London was bestowed only on those whose position and circumstances enabled them to get an introduction, but, thanks to his untiring enerey this state of things has been altered. Over 45,000 deserving poor and industrious persons are an nually relieved at the Royal Free Hospital—a number far exceeding that applying to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital with an income over 40,0001. a-year. This simple fact will, we feel assured, be sufficient to ensure a very large attendance. REBUILDING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—On Satur day the removal of the scenery, properties, and ward robes from the old Adelphi Theatre commenced. Yoe demolition of the old theatre wiil begin forthwith, also several houses on the west side of Bull Inn-court, and north side of Maiden-lane, the ground they occupy being required for the new theatre, which is to be ready fur opening by Christmas. SUNDERLAND.—Mrs. Seymour, late of the Haymarket Theatre, has opened the Lyceum Theatre with a well orgaeised company, selected from the London theatres, for a few nights only. The pieces produced are mostly new to the Sunderland play-goers, and have given the greatest satisfaction. We must especially notice, atuongSt the company, Messrs. A. Stirling, Robertson, Shalders, and Hurlstone, as actors of no ordinary abiiity. Miss Burt )n is an actress who will doubtless hold a high position in her profession ere long. Mr. Flexmore and Mdlle. Auriol, with an English company of 35 artists, selected from the Theatre Drury-lane, and other London first-class theatres, have been playing with great success at Versailles, and were honoured by special command to play at the Royal Theatre, where their performance crewed quite a furore. Mr. Flexinore and Mdlle. A uriol were twice called before the curtain, the latter receiving a shower of bouquets. The company were to make their first appearance in Orleans on Thursday evening, with every prospect of a favourable result. MISS CUSHMAN AND HER SISTER IN AMERICA. -- We find, by the American news just received, that Miss Cushman and her sister, Mrs. Dr. Muspratt, hal the honour f f a presentation at the President's levee, and were received by him with very marked attention. They received invitations to dinner from Lerd and Lady Napier, Governor Seward, and other of the distir gaietied notabilities at Washington. Miss Cvshman, previous to her departure for England, at the end of June, acts a frrtnight in Ne'w York. Her engagements every whE re have been marked with the greatest success.— Liverpool Daily Poet. NA, imas . Chatterton, the talented daughter of the late eminent harpist, gave a concert at Rooms on Saturday evening last, which was at tended by a fashionable audience. The selection of music was excellent, the fair I 4aeficiaire herseif per forming first, with Miss R ,retta Vinning and Miss Freeth, a nocturne for three harps ; and subsequently a fantasia, harp ("II Carnevale"), in a very brilliant and finished style, receiving the warmest demonstrations of applause. Madame Rudersdorff was applauded in the ballad, "I'm watching by the fire," as were Mr. and Madame Weiss in the duo, " Crudel P,rche." Mdlle. Finoli, charming as ever, who has hitherto nearly con fined herself to the compositions of Rossini, of which it must he acknowledged she is an admirable exponent, and by which she has acquired a well-deserved popula rity, on this occasion left the beaten track, and sang most exquisitely the duo "Da sinel di," from " Errrani," by Verdi, ably supported by Mr. Allan Irving. The rich full tone and powerfully dramatic expression of Mdile. Finoli produced a great impression up ,n the audience, by whom she wes vary warmly applauded. She was egoahy successful in Mozart's "Voi ohs ea pets" (Le Nozz3 ei Figaro), which she gave with unex ceptionable purity and sweetness, and obtained the honour of a recall. The romanza from " Otello" (Ros sini), "Assisa a pih d'un salice," in which Molle. Finoli was admirably accompanied on the harp by the fair Was charmingly rendered, and received strong marks of approbation. The whole was well con ducted by Signor Randeggor and M. Francesco Berger. MARRIAGES IN GLASGOW. —Yesterday being the first Tuesday in June, the clergymen of all denominations throughout the city had their hands full of business— the marrying and giving in marriage having reached a culminating point after the fatal month of May had passed away. Carriages innumerable were to be seen driving with post haste along the streets, either to er from the minister's house, while ever and anon one was in danger of being ran over by barrow loads of furni ture destined to occupy a conspicuous place in the new domiciles. Great, however, as was the rush into matri mony yesterday, it is certain to be eclipsed by the number who have determined to wed on Friday, whose name will be legion, seeing that the day is more conve nient, narnitt,niz as it does of an after-following Satur day's holiday for a honeymoon._Glasgow Bulletin.

This afternoon a meeting of the Livery was held in Common Hill, at Guildhall—the Lord Mayor in the chair—to consider the provisions of the Corporation of London Reform Bill, now before Parliament. The at tendance was of the most scanty and meagre description ever known within the memory "of the oldest liveryman," and at the hour of meeting, tsvo o'clock, there were not more than 150 persons pre. sent, including non-liverymen, who greatly prepon derated. The majority of tl e liverymen of Lon don know that the days of monopoly and exclusion are past and they very properly refuse to comply with the demands of a certain few, and attending meetings of the kind to bellow like calves for rights and privileges they know to be unjust on principle, and which are confined to, and enjoyed by, ac omparatively small but chosen band to the injury of the community at large. The meeting was addresed by several gentlemen connected with the Livery and Corporation, which characterised the measure as a sham, and of spoliation, plunder, and confiscation, as regarded the rights and privileges of the corporation. The following resolutions were submitted to the con sideration of the meeting : "1. That this Common Hall learns with surprise and concern that a bill has been introduced into the House of Commons, intituled A bill for the better regulation of the Corporation of the City of London,' by which it is sought to deprive the livery of this city of their ancient rights (granted to them by royal charters confirmed by acts of Parliament, and enjoyed for six hundred and fifty years) of meeting and voting in Common Hall for Lord layor,Shex iffs, Chamberlain, Bridgernasters, Auditors, and other officers of the Corporation—and that the said bill also contains clauses abolishing the rights of the City in cer tain dues and metage, without compensation, thereby in troducing a principle of confiscation which, if affirmed, will render insecure the foundation of property granted by charters and confirmed by acts of Parliament. "2. That petitions embracing the foregoing resolution be forthwith presented to both kouses of Parliament." LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco—Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice. Crompton.) PRIVY 0017NCILLOR. Sir J. T.

BENONI V. BAKHOUSIC-JUDGMENT. The Court gave judgment in this case, which was au ac tion for damages for injuries sustained to certain houses, owing to the improper working of a coal mine under the above premises. The principal plea relied on wal the statute of limitations. These learned judges wereof opinion the plea was good, and the judgment must be for the defendant. The other learned judges were of * contrary opinion. Judgment accordingly. DIVORCE COURT. (Before Sir C. Cress well and a common jury.) PEACOCK V. PEACOCK.—DIVOIWE. This was a petition for divorce preferred by the Tvif against the husband on the ground of adultery. TO respondent, first, denied the adultery ; secondly, the the petitioner had connived at it ; thirdly, that she h& condoned it ; and fourthly, that she had committed ado: tery. The petitioner denied the said allegations. It appeared that the petitioner, whose maiden non , was Sarah Cuthbert, married the respondent on 26t . October, 1853, who is a silk manufacturer, residing i , Spitalfields. There had been two chi.dren by tbt marriage, one of whom was dead, and the sur viving child was between two and three year of age. In June, 1856, the petitioner, wit her infant child, went into Kent on a visit to Born friends, remaining there about a month, and during tba time, it was alleged by the petitioner, her husband coin milted adultery with Matilda Carpenter his then serval ) girl and residing under his roof. In January after, th servant girl left and was confined in February of au infant child. In May she summoned the respondent be fore the magistrate at Worship-street, when it wig adjourned to the 9.h May and then dismissed. February, this year, she again summoned the responde r before another magistrate and the result was that fal order of half-a-crown a week was made upon him for the maintenance of the chil l. Evidence 'vas then called in support of the petition, and in the event of the counter charge of adultery being entered into, the case, it is expected, will occupy the whole of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(This Dal') 4 SIISPICOUS CIIABACTERS.—CharIes Judge and Robert Leicester j were charged under the following circifrot lances : From the evidence of the several witnesses it app s S that on the previous Sunday afternoon the prison he er' with another man who had escaped, were seen at door of No. 4 2, Carlisle-street, &silo, fumbling at the door, and that on one of them seeing a constable coming,he "m id i " Here's a constable," and they ran off.

Leicester here asked the officsr if the key did not open his friend's door. The constable said it did,, and also the house Whe re they had attempted to get in. Mr. Long said it was a suspicious case, he should' therefore, remand them for a few daya. tte ROBBERY IN A CHUReH. — Charles and C h a r.o Gadman, two shabbily dressed persons, were charge', with stealing a brown holland covey from the ohm-oh°' St. Ann's, Soho.
