A telegram of a 'very satisfactory character was this morning at 8.30 a.m. received at the Foreign office from the British Acting Agent and Consul- General. at Alexandria. It appears that Sir H. ROSE captured Calpee on the 23d of May, having been twice ineffec tually attacked by the rebels during his advanc?. Sir H. Roan made his approach by the river side, below Calpee, having entered into communication with Colonel MAXWELL, who held a position on the west bank of the Jumna, so as to shell the town and fort. The enemy offered no resistance, and the city fell without any loss on our part. A rapid Putsuit was made by cavalry, and the result wa s the capture of alt the dune , elephants, and ammunition. --- —..--- ____ Thisvas a most important step in advance on legislative palace at Westminster. It has been our part. It inflicted a heavy blow and great literally a river no longer, but a noisome open discouragement on the rebels, who lost all their sewer of the most gigantic dimensions, steaming, munitions of war- -tg guns, elephant, and reeking with the breath of disease wafted from its ammunition," without daring to d, fend their, foul surface by every current of air over the or sacrificing a single British soldier most densely-populated city in the world—mean in return. It proves, beyond the posing, not the City Proper, with its 129,000 inha , sibility •of doubt, the salutary dread instilled bitants, but the capital of England, the metropolis into their hearts by the irresistible prowess of the of the British Empire, peolled by no less than English arms. Those whose crimes have precluded from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 1 During the .. the hope of. mercy may still maintain a hopeless more inten se summer h ea t s o f J une it h as threat contest.

Nor does the fact that Gwalior has been at tacked and plundered by the insurgents, in any degree affect the accuracy of the statement. While so many gangs of predatory miscreants are roaming through the country, ripe for mischief, but unable to accomplish anything that can ma terially affect the ultimate issue of the contest. We also learn that after the relief of Shah jehanpore by Brigadier JONES, he was surrounded by masses of the enemy. This was on the 15th of May, on which day Sir COLIN CAMPBELL left Bareilly with the whole of his disposable force, reaching Shabjehanpore on the 18th. The 23d he drove back the enemy, capturing Mohundee (qy. Moulbie), and that on the 26th Sir COLIN CAMPBELL occupied Jellahabad, on the Futtehghur road. It is said that Oude is still disturbed. The rebels again approached Luck - now. It was not thought, however, they would venture on an at tack, as the city is fully defended, and the garri son very strong. It can scarcely be anticipated that those who failed to destroy the small garrison, encumbered asit was with helpless women and inno cent children, while they were in occupation of the entire city and had the native population at their side, could now succeed in achieving any great suc cess. Where so large a portion of the landowners have already made their submission or are anxious, in legal phraseology, to "purge their contempt," a far smaller body held their own for a series of months against far greater odds, and we care little for the despairing demonstration made by those whose fidelity to the rebel cause could no longer be relied on, and all of whom would be anxious to accept any amnesty that might be offered. A new light has broken in on the Palmerstonian journalists. They have made the brilliant dis covery that the India Bill will actually pass ; and express their delight at the result, which they more than insinuate is due to the forbearance of themselves and the veteran Viscount. Indeed, they claim credit for the entire measure which they once so unsparingly denounced. They are also discovering sundry mares' nests respecting the causes that have compelled the mastication of the unsavoury leek by their ancient PISTOL. Father Thames comes in for his share of the blame. light Hnnouralla and Honourable Gentlemen have deserted their posts and abandoned their constitutional functions rather than breathe the pestiferous atmosphere engendered by the abominable effluvia arising from the sweltering mudbanks and contaminated waters of the modern Cloaca maxima. They have, like truant school boys, made holidays for themselves, not con ceiving that anything of real importance remains to be accomplished. We should gladly give the parties the benefit of these alleviations of their unutterable griefs, if it would in any degree promote the cleansing of the silent highway. The grievance in that case is, however, too flagrant to require such adventi tious aids. The nuisance must be abated, although Parliament might transfer its sittings to a more salubrious distriO. The real causes, however, of this modification of views—of this " singing small." by the Palmerstonians—are the decisive defeats which he, their Leader, received on Friday even ing. The minorities of 62 and 93 respectively were heavy blows and great discouragements to the party. They proved beyond the possibility of doubt that the real Liberals would not march through Coventry with their self-elected leaders. The Noble Member for Tiverton perceived that discretion was the better part of valour, and that there was no longer any use standing up to be made a " chopping-block" by his more youthful and more vigorous opponents ; and therefore we hear of the expediency of hurrying the remaining clauses through the House, in order that ample time may be afforded to the Lords for the calm consideration and full discussion of the measure in all its details. It was but very recently that these organs of public opinion considered it im possible that the bill could receive the Legislative sanction during the present session, trying to ex cite the wrath of the Peers at the alleged slight —now, by a daring act of " grand and lofty tumbling," by a piece of tergiversation scarcely exceeded by any ever exhibited by these cele brated performances, all has been changed, and the Hibernian fete of " turning one's back upon oneself," celebrated by Sir BOYLE ROCIIE, has been accomplished with unequalled celerity and coolness. Mr. GLADSTONE will take the sense of the House on Tuesday. The point which he is desirous of carrying being that the first members of the Council should be nominated in the bill, or, in other words, that all should be elected by the House of Commons. This was the original inten tion of the Government, so far as the nominated portion of the body was concerned, and very unexceptionable names were put forward—names which will, in all probability, be still seen amongst the members of the first Council. It is, therefore, clear that there would be no very serious objection to such a proceed ing. But some difficulties have arisen which he will fairly state, and we have but little doubt that a majority will acquiesce in the wisdom and propriety of the decision finally arrived at. The matter, after all, is of comparatively trivial im pottance, and, whatever may be the result, can not tarnish the laurels won by the Ministry, or impair the debt of national gratitude fairly earned for their statesmanlike, judicious, and constitu tional mode of dealing with a question deeply affecting the interests of both England and India, The Thames will 'at length be cleansed. There is not a doubt of it. According to the phrase of our neighbours across the Channel—C'est un fait accompli. Or, according to the homelier phrase of our cousin across the Atlantic—we may hence forth speak of Dirty Old Father Thames in his capacity as Dirty Old Father Thames, as—a gone coon ! Again, in a few months--by the time this planet of ours has made another circuit of the zodiac—let us hope, really and trul) and confi dently hope, that, once more, the loveliest of all the rivers of England will be, what the charming English poet truly called it in tho days when he lived upon its banks and loved the flow of its pellucid current, " the silver winding Thames." Latterly it has been—the yellow stinking Thames. It has been a loathsome eyesore wel•ering to and fro between the Towers of JULIUS and the ti 3 w sonous atmosphere. A hale, stalwart fish-porter 1 has been seized with the fatal cramp upon the margin of the filthy stream, and been carried off We and livid,- a few hours afterwards, to the parish dead-house. The judges of the laud have been sickened by the pestilential vapours floating into the halls of justice—until the chief judge among them all, the Lord Chief-Justice of Eng land, has deliberately said, from his place in the House of Peers, that unless some remedy were speedily found, the Courts could not possibly con tinue to sit in London, but must adjourn, as they had been known to do upon occasions of yore, to Oxford or St. Albans. Traffic upon the River Thames—rather, .we should call it the Sewer Thames—has lltterly (and no wonder, truly) been diminishing appreciably. The river steamers — we beg pardon, the sewer steamers—have plied up and down with only a ghostly sprinkling of adven turous passengers. Among these rash voyagers, one unfortunate—as his Grace the Duke of Buc- CLUTCH mentioned in the House of Lords on Fri day evening—had been so affected by nausea that he had actually vomited over the side of the vessel. "dais, que diable allait it faire dans cette galere ! Others had been carried fainting on shore from the decks of these same wretched sewer steamers. Parliament itself has "nosed" the evil at last—and literally with a vengeance. For, again we say, the immediate and effectually clean sing of the river is a thing at length avowedly foredoomed. Lord JOHN MANNERS, as Minister of Public Works, has said it. Others of his Ministerial Colleagues have corroborated his suffi ciently explicit, and most conciliatory and encou raging assurance. Mr. DISRAELI, Lord MALMES BURY, the Earl of HARDWICKE, the Marquis of SALISBURY have declared, as plainly as words could declare, everything that this matter of really vital import has secured, and will retain, as it has ling imperatively demanded, the most serious attention of Her MAJESTY'S Government. Besides, what were the concluding words ut tered on Friday, in the House of Commons, by one of the very best Ministers of Public Works England has had for many a long day, one of the most energetic, and laborious, and conscienti ous of our administrators What said Sir BENJAMIN HALL at the conclusion of his remarks upon this important question ? He declared with characteristic frankness that he would be happy to afford any assistance in his power to the Noble Lord, his immediate successor in office—with a view to the speedy putting down of this mon strous and intolr.Ll:_ , nuisance. Th't it remains to be put down is no fault of Sir BENJAMIN'S. Trammelled like the rest of those about him with the trammels of red-tape, he was just snapping assander the crimson bands of routine woven by millions upon millions of yards, and afterwards intertwined and interlaced in inextricable con fusion in the great manufacture of Circumlocu tion, when all his toils went for nothing, and Sir BENJAMIN HALL—one of the only men of real worth and efficiency then in office—suddenly found the cards snatched from him and shuffled up over for a fresh deal at the very moment when the game was in his hands. Recollecting all Sir BEN JAMIN HALL had done during the comparatively brief interval when he presided over the Public Works department—remembering how he had schooled himself into one of the most able and accomplished chiefs of that hitherto neglected but most important department—we could almost find it in our hearts to regret that he, in regard to Public Works, might be an exception in the Executive ; that this particular administration might no more than the Master of the Rolls, or the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, depend is any way upon the changes of Government. At any rate, by such an arrangement, we might have secured ourselves from the inevitably bad results of getting everything into an active and admirable state of preparation merely to the end that we should scatter all those preliminary labours (just upon the eve of their consummation) to the winds of heaven—beginning again de novo ab War), at the risk of finding a responsible office passed from hands the most efficient to hands the most ineffi cient. Happily Lord JOHN MANNERS has resumed his former position as Minister of Public Works with an incitement to resolute exertion not pos sessed by him in 1852—that of a noble and laudable emulation provoked by his patriotic pre decessor. In the Noble Lord's own patriotic de votion to the duties of his office we have every reliance. Of his efficiency we are sanguine that the Community may so have proofs clearly demon strative. May these hopes be speedily and sig nally realised! The new Minister of Public Works must bear particularly in recollection the inspiriting assur ance volunteered by his able predecessor in office, the spontaneous promise of his cordial and mag nanimous co-operation. It will be well to remem ber, moreover, what was said on Friday in allu sion to the same pressing need for active mea sures of reform—the serio-comic but most truth ful remark made in reference to the necessity of at once cleansing the Thames, by his grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE. " Let the Government be courageous in this matter," said his grace : " It is a great opportunity for them to earn dis tinction, for Parliament is completely at their feet, and if they choose to save it, Parlia ment will be only too happy to be saved." What says the old proverb—" Many a true word spoken in jest." It is a great oppor tunity and Parliament is, in this matter, completely at the feet of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. Nothing, we do seriously and solemnly believe, will be regarded by the Lords, and Com mons as an adequate reason for not immediately setting to work to clean the River Thames from its present surcharge with odious abomina tions. As to the mere question of cost—suppos ing the change to necessitate an expenditure of any amount, however apparently extravagant that amount, the House of Commons, we are satisfied, would pronounce to be in no respect unreasonable. Whatever the amount required for the work to be done, that amount will be forthcoming. London —the wealthiest city in the world—can as suredly afford to get rid of its filth, no matter how many millions may be needed as a preliminary to that essential and beneficent under taking. According to the very highest estimate, this first and foremost of all our public works for the capital of England would involve an outlay of from 3,000,0001. to 4,000,0001. Supposing it to necessitate an outlay of 5,000,0001.—nay, supposing it to require the expenditure of 1 0,000,0001.—the happy result of such a dis bursement would surely be worth it. It is not, however, in any way a question of cost. It is simply a question as to How the sewage of the metropolis may be diverted from the Thames, and conveyed along one or more grand sultterraneous channels to the sea Most Effectually. THAT we must have decided at once without any further delay, without having any more plans and coun terplans drawn, and docketted, and tied up in red tape, to be duly pigeon-holed and forgotten. It is just one of those old Roman Republican Emergencies, requiring a Temporary Dictator -ship for the good of the Commonwealth. A little despotic power infused opportunely into this par ticular department of the public service, and rightly applied—promptly, resolutely, energeti cally—would do a world of good to London and very nearly 3,000,000 of Londoners. 0 for the sweep of this Herculean Reform-0 for the swift cleansing of this monstrous Augean abomi nation l It is an earnest application from three millions of people, which will result, we confi dently believe, in one of the not least memorable or least meritorious good works which will be recorded as baying been happily and opper tunely effected by the Earl of DERBY'S Admi nistration. " Not without a substitute,"—that is now the grand cry of the High Church petitioners against the Abolition of Church-rates. What an advance from the days when we first enlisted in the Anti- Church Rate Battle ! Then it was denied that it, was any hardship for a Dissenter, or even an infidel, to pay Church-rates. He got much good, it was said, from the Church, and was taxed with ingratitude because he could not appreciate the good, he received, and with impudence for pre tending that he, quite out of the lure of epos tolical succession, was doing himself any good to the community by his conventicle services and his Sunday schools, his tracts and his bibles. It l i was all schism, and schism was the worst of social poisons. We who ventured to think that one Christian was as good as another, although he did not use our prayer-book, or do homage to our mitre, hardly escaped the imputation of Atheism ; still we did think that men who contributed large sums of money to support their own worship, and whose chapels and schools were largely attended by the poorer classes, and who obviously did exercise a very beneficial influence over them, were rather hardly dealt With by: their fellow Christians in this matter of Church-rates. We felt that we, in their place, should grudge a shil• ling forced from us by Christians of another variety of creed ; and we have, therefore, from the beginning demanded the total exemption of Dissenters from Church-rates. That is now every one's creed Hardly a High and Dry Churchman, or an old Tury of the right divine school, now exists who is not willing to exempt Dissenters. Gladly would all parties let of Dissenters on their " signing themselves Dis senters." That day, however, SUMS to be past. Statesmen do not like creating stronger lines of demarcation ; they would rather amalgamate than create sects. Dissenters, too, do not exactly relish the proposal ; 'Tiers seems something patronising and paltry about it ; and it wuua, du. SJpure and s'nip'e abolition has been sent up to the Lords—it shows indeed a measure of progress which is most re assuring to the advocates of civil and religious liberty. Now all the plaints and supplications of the pro-rata party are directed to getting, if they can, a substitute. Well, let them name a sub stitute. The simplest one is to put their hands into their own pockets—one which, we think, would prove superabundantly sufficient. When we look not only atewhat Dissenters are and have long been doing, not only at what Roman Catho lics do, not only at the late splendid subscriptions of the Free Church both for ministers at home and missions abroad—but when we look at the noble church extension efforts of last year, and see splendid, or modest, or humble new churches rising up everywhere, and provided with clergy men too—we say it is vain and trifling to tell us that the Church of England cannot keep its own churches in repair. It needs no legal help— " the substitute" is the collection at the doors, or the circular to the neighbourhood, or the call on the wealthy. This will yield enough and more than enough. Throw the maintenance of the fabric of the churches, and the incidentals to wor ship, on theliberality of the people, and the former will be put in better repair than they have been in for years, and the latter will be improved too. Better than all, the people will take, as people al ways do, an interest in what they have supported by their money. If churchwardens, however, do need enabling powers, by all means let them have them e Any thing but any modified form of the tax itself, let that and all the ill-will belonging to it go, and go completely. We have little acquaintance, however, with ecclesiastical law, and it well may be, that churchwardens and vestries will have less power to collect money and apply collections, or to charge rent for pews and the like, than Dissenters now have—by all means give them any powers they have. 'Why should not each parish meeting be empowered to raise money in any way it pleases, and to disburse it as it will., We repeat our advice, however, to all parishes which dare do it, to petition without a day's delay. Every petition should be sent to the Duke of SOMERSET, or . to some lord who will present it by the Ist of July, at latest. The Government, it is certain, are willing to do some thing; what we know not yet. It will be better in proportion to the number of petitions. MINISTERIAL AND POLITICAL MOVE MENTS. Parliament, it is now supposed, will be prorogued by the middle of next month. 'hi►e Queen, it is said, is desirous to visit her daughter at Berlin, and scruples to leave so long as the Legislature is in session, as the royal assent is required to so many bills, The attack of gout from which the Earl of Derby has been suffering for some time has abated during the last few days, and his lordship is now able to leave his room. His lordship fully expects to be able to resume his at. tendance in the House of Lords in the course of the week. Owing to the illness of the noble Premier, his dinner parties have been postponed. The Earl of Malmesbury received a large circle to dinner on Saturnay evening at his mansion, Wbiteball gardens. The Archbishop of Armagh had a numerous party to dinner on 'Saturday evening, _at" las - grace's house in Cbandos-street, St. James's. Their Royal fUghnesses the Duchess of Cambridge the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelit,z, and the Princess Mary, honoured Lord Ravensworth with their company at an afternoon fete on Saturday at Percy's Cross, Fulham. • Thee royal visitors were at tended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lady Caroline Oust. A brilliant circle of the aristocracy assembled at the party, and moat of the foreign Ministers and their The Duchess of Manchester, the Mistress of the Robes, had an assembly on Saturday night at her mansion in Stanhope-street, Park-lane. Nearly ail the leading members of the beau monde were present. The Drury Lane Italian opera will be varied nigbt'y by the performance of the most favourite works of the Italian and German composers. To-night we are to have the never-tiring "Sonnambula," with Viardot Garcia as the Arnina, and Naudin as the Elvino. On Tuesday the " Puritani" will be repeated with Persian' as Elvira; and "Norma" is to be played on Wednes day ; whilst "Don Giovanni" will be produced as early as possible. "The Merchant of Venice" is to be the piece de re sistance at the Princess's, preceded by a new farce, entitled " Dyieg for Love," which is announced for pro duction this evening. At the St. Janiee's, Madame Ristori appears this evening iu Racine's tragedy of "Pt bire." Mr. Buckstone's season of fire years' uninterruptei performances at the Haymarket will be brought to a close in another forteight. Dorieg the present week "An Unequal Match" will be repeated every evening (except Wedne daN), "BA and Cox," "A Striking Wid iw," and "Tbe Dew' Shot," will be the after piece". Mr. Webster and the Adelphi company perform six bights longer at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. " Janet Pride" and "The Middy Ashore" will be performed on the first four nights of the week. There will be a change of peibrmauces on Friday, for the benefit of Madame Celeste, and on Saturday for the benefit of Mr. Webster. Mr. and Mre. Barney Williams conclude their engagement at the Surrey on Saturday next. The pieces announced for every evening until Friday arc " Rory O'More," "Au Dour at Sniille," and "Latest froth New York." E--V-EIN I .N G I , If further proof were needed that Madame Ristori possesses the gift of true histrionic genius, it would be indisputably afforded by the manner in which she developed the meagre, bald, nerveless character of " Ottavia," in Alfieri's play of that title, last Friday evening. She infused power, interest, and dignity into a part which carries little identity with grand tragic material ; and considering that the role is destitute of all the high qualifications of dramatic constituents requisite for tue scope of such talents as tho, e exhibited by Madame Ristori, the impersonation was wonderful, though we must frankly declare that we .hope the energy of this great actress will not be again waited on such un satisfactory stuff" during her limited number of appearances. No play ought to be tedious or dull , with Madame Ristori for its leading feature, but we suspeot that many of the audience on Friday even ing experienced a strong tendency to obey the playful demand often made on each other by chil. dren—that of " opening your mouth and shutting your eyes." The tragedy was, in fact, wearisome, and while the repertoire of the dramatic muse yields so many characters of vital and exciting in terest, we shall not expect to hear of Alfieri's " °Untie being repeated. MISS ARABELLA GODDARD'S MATINEE MUSICALE. The last of these attractive performances was given on Saturday last at Willis's Rooms, exciting, if possible, greater admiration of the gifted pianiste's talent than usual. Miss Goddard's exe cution of Schubert's " Grand Sonata in A Minor," for the first time in public, was perfect and en chanting ; combining the various and difficult ex pressions essential to the correct in' erpretation of the work, with unprecedented correctness. The delicate tenderness of the Andante movement—the rich and sparkling vivacity of the Scherzo, and the precision and vigour of the concluding Rondo, were alike exquisite and truly effective ; affording ample evidence that Miss Goddard is an art'ste of real spiritual power, and thoroughly qualified to fill the high position she has attained. The variations on an " Original Air" for Tenor and Pianoforte, in which Herr Joachim shared the honour with the fair pianiste, was beautifully played, and elicited marked applause, as did also Beethoven's " Grand Sonata in A Minor," on the same instruments. A " Quartett in E Flat," by Dussek, was admirably rendered by Miss Goddard, Heir Joachim, Herr Garde, and Signor Piatti. The latter gentleman is unquestionably among the very first performers on the violoncello, his purity of tone and precision of instrumentation being all that the most highly educated ear can desire. We congratulate Miss Goddard on the eminent success of her series of concerts, though we experience a degree of regret at their ter mination. VOCAL ASSOCIATION, ST. JAMES'S-HALL. This talented Association will give another and last concert at this hill onWednesday evening next, and presents in the piogramme some items of alluring interest to the lovers of fine music. Menclelssohn's Hymn of Praise, "Lobgesang," will be performed, and doubtless in a manner that will do full justice to the composition. "Mozart's Concerto in E flat, for the Pianoforte," will will be played by Mr. C. an 1 11, - T •°l-`‘ i n w;11 hive b;s " Ove , tu..e to Henry the Euuraii," iur Liao ins, land. These attractions, with the support of Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Stabbach, Mr. Montem Smith, the Vocal Association Chorus, perfect Madrigal singing, and the cmduclurship of M. Benedict, will warrant the issuing of a c.at d of invitation, on which may be announced, " Apollo at Home." MADAME SZAVARDY'S UONCEBT. This eminent pianiAe, Letter known to the public as Mdlle. Clau,s gave her third and last matinee musicale at the Hanover-square Rooms on Friday morning. The other performers were Herr Molique, on the violin, and Signor Piatti, on the violomello. The selection of music was judicious and varied ; it included compositions of Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Pergolese, Chopin, and Sterndsle Bennett. Madame Szavardy's talents as a pianiste are already favour ably known to the musical world, and her perform ances on Friday will fully maintain her reputation. We would suggest, however, that she might relax the stringency of her regulations, as the tempera ture of a crowded concert room, with all the windows closed, in the present state of the thermometer, is not the most favourable for the appreciation of classical music. Madame Szsvard.y was ably assisted by the other performers, and the concert was attended by a large and cultivated assembly. MADAME BASUN() AND HERR KUHL'S CONCERT. . These accomplished artistes gave their annual morning concert on Thursday last, at the Hanover square Rooms, with their usual success. They were assisted by Madame Viardot, Madame Sher rington, Mr. Sims Reeves, and other performers of eminence, and a large and fashionable audience attended the concert. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH CO3IPANY.

Serious disturbances have occurred at Gad duck, in the Dharwar Cullectorate ; the out break was headed by Bcem Bas, of Moor.- derger, and the Desayee of Hembgee, who ob tained possession of the port of Fowul (qy.) of treachery ; the chief of Nurgoond was suspected of being deeply implicated. The acting political agent, Mr. C. T. Manson, attended by a few horsemen, prcceeded rapidly to the Nurgoond dis trict, in the hope of restoring order, when he was treacherously attacked on the night of May 29, by 800 men, headed by the Chief of Nurgoond, and killed with all his e3cort. It being greatly feared that the disaffection would spread all over the Southern Mahratta country, reinforcements have been ordered to proceed immediately to Belgaum and Kulapcor ; in the meantime it is h3ped that the outbreak has been promptly repressed. A Madras column under Major Hughes, Juno 1, took the fort of C,pal by assault, and among she slain were Bheem Rao and the Dessaye ; on the same day Colonel Mal colm, with a light Bombay detachment, arrived at Nurgoond, and stormed the town. On the next day he occupied the [fort I], which was evacuated during the night.

Exchange : Bank bills, London, six mouths, 4s. Bd. is. 2d. The natives of Delbi are beginning to get insolent again. They say Bareilly will never be taken, and that the sepoys will soon retake Delhi—many denying the capture of Lucknow. They assert that we have been defeated. Of the movements of Nana nothing appears to be known. It is however clear that emis saries are everywhere hard at work in trying to per suade people to rise against us. Banda has been reoccupied by our troops. Money Market—Company's rupees, 5 per cent., 9 to 91. AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S. MARSEILLES, JUNE 26. Marshal Randon, in a speech, on the anniversary of the taking of Algiers, stated that the conquest of Kabylia would be immediately followed up by the formation of a system of railways throughout the colony.

PARIS, SUNDAY. The Moniteur contains in extenso a translation of the speech of the Earl of Malmesbury ou the affair of the Regina Coeli on Thursday last. Marshal Randon embarked on Saturday on board the Tangier, from Algiers for France. The dividend of the Bank of France for the first half year of 1858 is fixed at 66f. per share. The dividend for the last half of the year 1857 was 87f., so that the above dividend is 211. less. This is owing to the depressed state of commercial affairs during the last six months. _ BOURSE, June 26.—The followingwere th© elosidg quotations : 4j per Cents 94 10 Credit Fonder Do. end month — Belgian 41 3 per Capt. ..... ... 68 25 Piodinontese (5) 92j Do. end month 63 30 Roman 9l Bank Shares .. ...... 3010 Austrian Credit Mobilier ... 635 Spanish Threes Do.

Signor Buffs, one of the most distinguished members of the Centre of the Chamber, was seized the evening before last, when returning home from his parliamentai y duties, with a sort of apoplectic lit, followed by partial paralysis. Copious bleeding has in some degree restored him, but not sufficiently so to remove the anxiety of his friends. The entrance of the Cagliari into the port of Genoa was unattended by any demonstration on the part of the population. She bad been expected the night before, and, not having come, the hour of her arrival remained uncertain, and very few were present when she came in. Mr. Barber, her Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul at Naples, who came with her, has had an audience of Count Cavour, and leaves Turin to-morrow to return to his post. There was a serious disturbance 1 st night in the Ciurma, the gang of galley slaves, at Genoa. We have not yet goz, full details, but it appears tbat an attempt, on a large scale, was made to break out of the place where those convicts, condemned to hard labour, are confined. To repress it the guardians were compelled to use their arms, and three galley laves were killed and a dozen wounded. L.° Genoa Gazette announces that the Cagliari arrived in the port of Genoa on the 23d, under the command. of Captain Daneri. Dr. Smith and Mr. Barbar, the British consul at Naples, were on board, the latter having come for the purpose of cosigning her to the Sardinian authorities, which he did immediately on his arrival. On the follow ing day the Cagliari was delivered up to Messrs. Rubattino and Co., the owners. The Corriere Mercantile states that the vessel was commanded by Captain Sitzia (stlin had been arrested by the Neapolitan authorities), and not by Captain Daneri. Both the former and the 17 men forming the crew were in good health. A great number of boats surrounded the steamer on her arrival, and as soon as permisiion was given to get on board, her decks were crowded with the relatives of the men and other visitors. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna in the Swabian Mercury says :—" The definitive examination of the budget of receipts and expenses for 1857 is concluded ; and it is found that the results are not so favourable as was expected. The deficit, it appears, will be 40 millions of florins, in place of 20 millions at first calculated on. The Government is actively engaged in completing a law on colonisation which will be more particularly applicable to Galicia, Hungary, the Bukowina, and other parts of the territory where capital and hands are wanting for agricultural pursuits. The following are the general principles on which this measure will he based :—The State will not colonise directly, and will not even take on itself the direction of colo nisation, but it will exercise a rigorous surveil lance over all the operations by means of special commissioners. It will not give any premiums in money nor execute any works, but will grant an exemption horn taxes during a certain time, and the children of the colonists will be exempt from a part of the military service." SWITZERLAND. The Band of Berne, in an article entitled " Two weights and two measures," reproaches the Federal Council with having accorded an undue value to the appeal of the Grand Council of Geneva to the Federal Assembly about sending the refugees into the interior of the country, and concludes as fol. lows :—" When Uri would not give up the protocols of the Sonderbund, it was threatened with Federal bayonets ; when Ticino ill discharged the duties of Swiss neutrality, battalions were sent to it ; whin lately Vaud endeavoured to obey Federal decrees Federal Commissioners were sent there, who superseded the local authori ties ; and yet, in preserce of the much more im proper resistance of G,:neva, the Federal Council gives up its arms ! This is having two weights and two miasures, an , l it w.ll create bad blood. The ordinary session of the Federal Assembly is to open at Berniz on the sth July. The two Cham bers will for the first time occupy the two tine halls prepared for them in the new Federal palace.
