iftb ZiEitittion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock, ITALY. A letter from Turin of the sth, in the Official Ga. Ole of A9avoy, states that the Prince of Monaco had an uiterviewiately with M. de Persigny, in which he at tempted Merest the' latter in his claims upon Mo naco andaroccabrune, now incorporated in the king dom of Sardinia, but that he met with great coolness on the part of M. de P.rsigny. The correspon dent adds that the sovereignty of the King of Sardinia over the principality of Monaco has been re cognised by the treaties of 1815, and observes that it is an acknowledged principle in feudal law, that the Lord may disposses his vassal whenever maladmi nistration is proved cgainst him, as is the case in the present instance. The Risorgimento of Turin relates the fol lowing act of opposition to the construction of railways in Piedmont, which occurred on the 4th at Truffarello, a point at which the Turin sad Savigliano line is to meet the Genoa line. It appears that the work was going on rapidly, and everything seemed to promise a speedy com pletion of the junction, when on the above-men tioned day a band of armed men marched out of Truffarello, proceeded to the works, and bid the workmen stop and disperse. The person entrusted with the direction of the works on that point expos tulated, and went /lb the syndic of the place to-in quire the reason of so unlawful a proceeding; where upon the latter told him the whole population were against the railway to a man, and that if the works were continued serious consequences might ensue. The works were then suspended until orders should have been received from Turin. A Swiss journal states that the Papal Government has concluded a capitulation with the brother of the old Roman Minister of War, de Kalberrnatten. The officers named up to this time are all 87435. As far as regards the soldiers, preference will be given to those of the Catholic cantons. France and Austria have already permitted the establishment of offices for enrolment on their territory. Two regiments of 3,000 picked men each will be formed, of whom 600 have already arrived at Macerata. SCAiNA . A letter from Copenhagen, 4th, says :—" His Ma jesty will leave to-morr ow f or S we d en. He will proceed to Scania, where h e w ill h ave an i nterv i ew king w ith the of Sweden. On the 12th he will pro ceed to Jutl an d w i th the Countess de Danner, and remain there for a fortnight. The Prince and Princess Christian of Glucksburg will leave to-day with their eldest son for the baths of Mannheim, near F aankfort-on-the•Maine. They will pass by Schlan genbad, to pay their respects to the Empress of Ramis." A letter from Stockholm, of the 28th ult., states that an extensive camp was to be formed in Scania In the early part of the present month, under the command of the Prince Royal, who, with hi; Princess bad already set out for the place, and the King and the other branches of the Royal family were to fol low in a few days. The Qaeen is to remain at the Chateau of Raga, where she expects a visit from her sister, the Princess Theodolinda of Wurtemberg. The Swedish Government is actively engaged with several important modifications ; amongst others, the simplification of the system of taxation, th e establishment of branch banks in the provinces, and the construction of railways. T U The Levant mail has brought Constantinople journals to the 24th ult. They announce that the steamer Rescbirttharl sailed far Egypt with the ratifi , cation by the Porte of the arrangements made re specting the tanziniat, and with orders to Fuad Effendi to return home, as his missian is completely terminated. The Journal publishes the text of an address to Viscount Stratford,from four merchants, ex pressing in warm terms their gratitude for the protec tion always afforded by bias to commerce in general, and for the assistance rendered by him, some time ago, to them personally in preventing a Greek bank rupt from defrauding them ; they also expressed personal regret at his approaching departure from Constantinople; and declared that they wished him and his family every health and happiness. Viscount Stratford returned a suitable reply, and in the course of it stated that in hie diplomatic career he had always attempted to protect the interests of commerce, be cause he believes it to be a guarantee of peace and the means of spreading the blessings of Providence and civilization. On the night of the 22 , l ult. a fire broke out at Serajewo, the capital of Bosnia. All the houses of the Christians have been burnt, as well as the Latin Chapel and the Presbytery. The horrors committed by the Nizams during this scene are said to have been of the most savage description ; women were ♦iolated, and houses btoken into and pillaged. The Viser, Veljeddin Pacha, used his utmost exertions to restrain the fury of these Nizams. He sent off a re port to Constantinople, from whence assistance is expected. The house of the Austrian Consul was also burnt. The cause of the conflagration is not known. GREE CE. Athens journals to the 27th alt. have been received. They contain no news of interest ; but the Trieste Gazette has the following from Athens : " The attention of tha Government is at present en gaged on a very serious affair; it proposes to conclude with the Patriarch of Constantinople a treaty which will -completely change the relations of the Greek Church, which had declared itself independent of Constantinople since the establishment of a kingdom, and which had for ita chief a Synod chosen by the King. By the new treaty the Greek Church will cease to be an independent member of the dogma of Anatolia, and will return under the full and entire authority of the Patriarch. Th© orthodox Russian party have long looked for this result. It was M. Degliganni, who, when Greek Charg6 d'Affaires I at Constantinople, succeeded in concluding this treaty with the support of the orthodox party. The Greek Ministers are now about to present is to the Chambers." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.)

TRH E SVN, Sir J. PAKINGTON said, as he had several times answered questions on this subject in the most distinct manner, he hoped that he should not be thought guilty of disrespect if he did not go at length into this subject, considering that the great object was to get into supply as quickly as possible. He could only rev at that the Government were making all the arrangements they possibly could. With regard to the remark which had fallen from the Hon. Member who had immediately preceded him, he could only say, as he had s a id betore, that the Irish proportion of the emigrants conveyed by the Emigration Commission was largely in advance of the other parts of the kingdom. The report on the remaining votes was then agreed to. ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL. Oa the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Sir B. HALL made an explanation relating to his speech of yesterday on the Capitular Estates Bill, in the course of which he had cited the Cathedral of Rochester as ono where the triennial visitation required by the statutes had never been made. The Bishop of Rochester had calledinponlhim this morning, and while complaining of a report which had to some extent misstated what he (Sir B. Hall) had said, had acknowledged that he had not made a triennial visitation of the ca thedral, but had included it in his triennial visitation of his diocese. POST-HORSE DUTY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the House resolve itself into a Committtee on the post-horse duty, and tax on carriages let for hire, with a view to the modification of the same. The case of the postmasters was one which was deserving of the atten tion of the House' inasmuch es the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Portsmouth (Sir F. Baring), when Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1840, attempted to relieve them, bat instead of that the measure which he brought in had increased the duty which they paid, and had left them in a worse position than they were before. He had had the honour, accompanied by a de putation of postmasters, of having an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had listened certainly with great attention to their representations, but as he had since made his financial statement, and had not pro vided in it any relief for them, he (Mr. Duncombe) felt it his duty to press their case on the consideration of the House. There were now about 14,000 postmasters, and what they themselves proposed was that each should take out a yearly certificate, paying for it 101., which would bring in a revenue of 1 40,0001. As the present revenue from this item was only 170,0001., the loss to the revenue would not be very great. was The perfectlye ANt tree L t it L a O t It h e o h t 1 ,1 e receivedE X C E a QU deputation E R said on it this subject, and that he had promised to take the case into consideration. He was afraid that the scheme pro posed by the postmasters, like many other schemes de vised by tax-payers for their relief, was one in which the relief was more certain than the security to the revenue.—(Hear, hear.) As far as regarded his not having proposed relief for the postmasters in his late budget, he thought the fact of his not having a surplus was a sufficient reason for that, and as the financial arrangements of the year were now made, he appealed to the Hon. Gentleman not to disturb them by pressing this motion. He would promise to take this, as well as every other case into consideration, and if it were his lot to propose another budget he would attend to every claim which he thought founded on justice. Sir G. PECHELL thought this was certainly a case for relief, and was perfectly satisfied with the promise of the Hon. Gentleman to look into it, Mr. SPOONER thought, as this was a case where the harden had been increased by the legislation of' that House, it was a claim for justice and not relief. After a short discussion, in which Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Frewen, Lord Ebrington, and Sir F. Baring took part, the House divided when the numbers were— (No observation was made in reply to the Hon. Mem. ber by the Government.) (LEFT SITTING.) COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE. An alarming accident, attended with the loss of two lives, occurred on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line, on Tuesday afternoon, near to the Woodhouse junc tion, and within a short distance of the spot where a colli sion occurre d l as t y ear b etween a G reat Northern excur sion and a goods train. It appears that ab ou t t wo o ' clock, a ballast train, laden with sleepers, left Gri ms b y for Sheffield, a passenger carriage, containing seven or eight men in the company's service, being attached to the last waggon. Nothing occurred until they arrived at the Kiveton-park station, when, in consequence of the piston-rod breaking, the engine became dis abled. Efforts were then immediately made to bring the trains to a stand, but in conse quence of the line at this point being on a steep incline this was not accomplished until some time had elapsed. The moment this was done, all the men except two left the passenger carriage, and a messenger was dispatched to signal an approaching luggage train. which was then due from Retford, and the steam whistle of which was then distinctly heard, but which, in conse quence of a sharp curve in the line, was not then visible. Before hehad proceeded more than twenty or thirty yards he came in sight of the train, the driver of which, as soon as he became aware of the danger, instantly re versed the engine, shut off the steam and applied the break, after which he, together with the stoker and the guard, leaped off the train and escaped without any se rious injury. On the collision the engine of the goods train was thrown off the rails and sustained considera ble damage. The passenger carriage and several of the ballast waggons were smashed to pieces, and the two men who were sitting in one of the compartments of the carriage, unaware of the danger, were killed on the spot. Their names are William aler and John Walker, married men, residing at Brig g . Th e i r rema i ns were conveyed to foodhouse, where the affair will undergo an investigation before Mr. Thomas Badger, coroner. The line was speedily cleared, and no inter ruption was occasioned to the ordinary trains. For the motion Against it ... ... 43 ... 94 ... -51 Sir P. BARING Majority ...

His objection to the grant of 4004 BRIGHTON ELECTION.—Mr. Trelawny attended a large meeting on Wednesday, and explained his political views, which seemed to be well received; but although a requisition to him has received some 500 signatures, he has not issued any address to the constituency. In this state of uncertainty, a gentleman who has, we hear, been for some time in communication with some gentlemen in the Liberal interests, has stepped forward and issued an address. The gentleman in question is Mr. John Ffooks, whose political opinions run almost on all fours with Mr. Trelawny's. Mr, Ffooks was bred to the law; he succeeded his father as clerk of the peace in Dorsetshire, and on becoming the chief part ner of the " Great Western Brewery" at Sherborne, quitted the profession and took an active part in promoting Reform in his locality. Sir G. Pechell has issued an address solicit ing his re-election. KNOWING DEFINITION.—" Betting Offices." Places where (on a settling day) it is hard to meet your betters. — Punch. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille prem. (according to the new tariff'), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lop. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.291; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.421, it follows that gold is about 0.51 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Ilamburgh the price of gold is about 4301 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lop. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.71; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.91, it follows that gold is about 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at ISlew York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of England. And, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. A COLLIER BRIG DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On Monday night, at eleven o'clock, information was received at the River Police-station, North Shields, that a vessel was in flames at Jarrow, about two miles up the Tyne. The police immediately unmoored the river engine, and had it towed up to the scene of disaster. The vessel was lying off the Patent Slip, and was in one sheet of flame. Shortly after the engine arrived the masts fell by the vessel's side, and, notwithstanding an immense column of water was poured upon the buring vessel, it was not until fGur o'clock in the morning that the fire was extinguished. The vessel was a total wreck. She was the Countess of Durham. belonging to Messrs. Storer, of Bedford -street North Shields.

KAFIR WAR.—WITHDRAWAL OF EXTRA VOTE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in consequence of the expense of the Kafir war being much less than he anticipated, and in con sequence of the Treasury minute that no ex penditure should take place for extraordinary military establishments, until the resources for ordinary military expenditure were exhausted, he had the satisfac tion to inform the House that he did not feel it necessary to call for the vote of 200,0001., which he thought it his duty to place before the House when he made his financial statement.—(Hear, hear.) MR. F. O'CONNOR. Mr. J. BELL said he thought proper to inform the House that he had placed in the hands of the Sergeant at-Arms two certificates which confirmed the opinion he (Mr. J. Bell) had expressed yesterday, that the Hon ourable Member who was in his custody required medical advice in reference to the subject of prison discipline. He thought it his duty to take this step, for he believed the Honourable Member was in an unsound state of mind, and that it was only proper the House should be in possession of facts on medical authority, more particularly as the medical and legal profession were at issue as to the precise line of demarcation between sound ness and unsoundness of mind. It therefore became an important question where the line was. He made this statement not as a friend of the Hon. Member—indeed he been informed he had no friends—but becaus he considered it was deeirable the facts should be known in order that justice might be done. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTE R N. A special me, ring of the Great Western Railway Company was held at the Padeinp,ton Station yesterday afternoon, in pursuance of the standing orders of the House of Lords, in order to teko into consideration an Act to euthonie traffic arrangements between the Great Western, the Sbrewehury and Birmingham, the Shrews bury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway Companies. Mr. RUSSELL, the chairman of the company, presided, and, in opening the proceedings, said that when the proprietors were called together a week aince, the directors were not aware that it would be necessary under the Whaencliffe standing order to submit this Bill to them. The Standing Orders Committee of. the House of Lords had, however, taken a different view of and present meet i ng was held in defe rencetheir decision . It would, of course, be nee:2s- Yt a submit to a Si m il ar ordeal the Bills of the other c stah o r m ee pa o n o ies which were requi re d to carry out th i s ar rangement. Ho did not thi n k, howeverlthat the Com mittee would ies!st upon th e str i ct o b servance of the standing order, for if they did h e feared it would be impossible to obtain a continuous line of communication between London and Bi rm i ngham. At the meetings of the two Shrewsbury companies, which had been held within the last week or ten days, it was clearly shown that although the di rectors cou l d command a large lt majority of th e i r proprietors, in fact equal o o fths, in favo ur of their arrangements, they obtain the assent of four•fifths, as required by the standing ord ers of the House t)f Lords; al though not e e that consent was merely required to agree mentsrwhich had been already sanctioned by the pro prietors. These result s t h e d i rectors broadly and dis tinctly ascribed to the number of shares which were held in these companies on behalf of the London and North Western Railway Company, and upon these grounds they had prayed that the standing order should be dispensed with upon the present occasion. That ques tion was now under investigation by a Committee of the House of Lord!, and i t would therefore be extremely improper for him to advert to it any farther than by sa yi n g that he confidently believed teat they would be able to establish the alleg a ti ons i n t h at pet i t i on, and that they had full reliance upon the j ustice of the decision of the House of Lords upon every case that was fully and fairly laid before them. A resolution approving the Bill was then unanimously agre ed to, and th e proceedings terminated. PQterboroug,h, attus - boys —I. Atkinson and T.

A special general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held at Shrewsbury yesterday, for the purpose of approving or disapproving (in obe dience to Lord Wharncliffe's order) the following Bill, introduced into Parliament during the present session :—" A Bill to authorise Traffic Arrangements between the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Hereford, the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Che shire Junction, and the Hereford, Ross, and The Hon. R. IL Clive, M.P., presided. The CHAIRMAN, before he call e d f or the reading of the Gloucester shire Reuwsys Bill, begged to allude to an important meeting which bad taken place at the Board of Trade on the preceding day, and which he hoped was the harbinger of a better state of feeling among themselves, as well- as better arrangements with the London and North- Western Company. At the meeting to which he alluded it was arrange d that the Stour Valley line opened on the 20th of th e p resen t month, - five hours' notic e s h ou ld b e g i ven to the B tshh o ilo a tu r l d dih o i brfet Y Trade for its approval; and he (the chair man) had to add that Mr. Glyn and himself were to have the appointment of the station-master at Wolver hampton. He (the chairman) hoped that this augured a better and satisfactory state of things, and spoke wet for the future. The chairman next explained why they had again been called upon to assemble at ShrewsbA rY that day. The directors had intended to include the present Bill in the notice by which the w" ti6 g of Tharaday last was convened ; b u t th ey were tld by th e i r P ar li amen t ary agents t h at such a course was unnecessary, but it was subsequently di.covered that the approval of the shareholders under Lord W harneliffe's order was essential, and that was the reason they were called together that day. The chairman observed that the title and preamble of the Bill gave all necessary information as to its objects, and he was consequently not required to enter into further explanation. After alluding to an unfair and one-sided report of the proceedings of the meet ing on Thursday last, inserted in a provincial jour nal, he concluded by moving that the shareholders do approve of the Bill authorising traffic arrangements between the Great Western, Shrewsbury and Birming ham, Shrewsbury and Chester, Shrewsbury and Here ford, and Hereford, Ross, and Gloucestershire (with the exception of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction) railways, and also to authorise the directors to submit to such alterations as they might deem expe dient during the progress of the Bill through Parliament. Mr. HILL seconded the motion. Not the slighest observation was offered in opposition to the motion, and the CHAIRMAN declared the motion carried by a show of hands.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURIAU THR WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) A thousand deaths were registered in the metropolis in the week that ended last Saturday, showing an im portant increase on the previous week, in which the number was only 883. In connexion with this result it will be remarked that the mean weekly tempera ture fell from 52.7 deg. end 55 . 6 deg. in the second and third week of May to 50.8. deg. in the fourth, while last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last fortnight about 6 degrees below the average, to which atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably to be attributed. In the four weeks now mentioned the rain that tell amounted to 2.21 in., though in the pre vious twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one inch. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 877, which, if raised in proportion to the increase of popula tion, becomes 965; the present number therefore ex hibits an excess of 35 above the estimated emeunt. A comparison of facts in the last two returns shows an increase in some epidemic complains—namely, measles, which rose from 16 deaths in the preceding week to 23 in the last, diarrheee which rose from 13 to 20, typhus, &c , in which the numbers were respectively 38 to 49, whilst scarlatina increased from 41 to 63. Pnemonia also rose from 46 to 58, whilst the mortality of bronchitis was stationary. Phthieis suddenly became more fatal, rising from 119 to 150 cases. Last week the deaths of 4 children and 3 adults were registered as caused by syphilitic disease. In the present return the number of cases in which small pox was fatal amounts to 40; those of 32 children and 8 persons of 15 years of age and upwards. Five of the sufferers are reported to have been previously vaccinated; their ages were 6 months, and 5, 15, 16, and 35 years. Two deaths were registered in the Small pox Hospital ; of these the following aro the parti culars : On 31st May a labourer, aged 32 years, from Brook green-terrace, Hammersmith, died of " small-pox, con fluent, unprotected (15 days)." On 3clJune a female, aged 13 years, from James's gardens, Clerkenwell, small-pox, confluent, unmodi fied (16 days)." Vaccinated in London when seven years old, but the operation took badly and left no cicatrix. Mr. Watts, the Registrar, states that " this hospital is still full, having had during the past week eighty patients occupying beds. But at the Fever Hospital only one death has occurred since the 18th ult., and the number of patients had decreased to ninety-two." At 5, Hope-place, Islington, the son of a drover, aged 13 years, died of " small-pox, confluent (16 days), not vaccinated." The parents entertained an objection to vaccination. In the east sub-district of Islington three children died of small-pox, none .of whom had been vaccinated, a cireumstanco which Mr. But terfield ascribes in two cases to " ignorance," and in one to "prejudice" of parents. At 5, Amelia place, Aldgate, on 3d June, the son of a tailor, aged 5 years, died of small-pox; be had not been vacci nated. Mr. Spencer adds that two other children who had been vaccinated have escaped. The place is "close and unhealthy." In the south sub-district of West London, at 6, Union-court, St. Andrew's, on 30th May, the daughter of a labourer, aged 5 years, died of "small-pox (12 days)." Mr. Nason remarks that "this is the second death in one family, th e fi rst having occurred on the 27th May. The deceased were the only two children in the family, and neither of them had be e n vaccinated." At 3, Raymond buildings, Gray's Inn, on the 30th May, a Solicitor, died of "small-pox, small-pox, con fl uent aged thirty-five years, (eleven days)." His father, who is a medical man, states that he had been twice vaccinated. I n Lam. beth, at 3, Harriet-street, the son of a stone sawyer, aged sixteen months, died of "small pox (nine days)." The following is Mr. Daw's note:—" Deceased was not vaccinated; another child in the same house lies dangerously ill of the same disease. Infor mant states that small-pox has been constantly in Har riet-street for the last three months. Two deaths from small-pox in Harriet•street were registered in April last. It is a dirty crowded street." At 13, S t . Oeweld's place, Lambeth, on 26 th May, the daughter of a slater, aged 15 years, died of " coe fluent small-pox (9 days); after vaccination." Mr. W h eat l ey mentions th at " this lived her wtearkein a g ll female was sent home fr om service ill with the di sease . the healthy,and The family with whom she the father cannot acco unt for infection; she had been vaccinated wh en young, and app y with good effect." arentl In Mile-end Old Town, Lower, at 6, F e t eed i y _ piace, on 27th May, the daughter of a letter-carrier, aged 2 years, , died of " scarlet fever (4 week s ) ; cynanche (2 w eeks). Mr. Castleden writes as follow, s; _e This is the second death from scarlet fever in the same house within a month, the remaining four children are now very ill with the disease, and the Mother attributes their predisposition to illness to a foul drain running at th e back door hit° the garden. The landlord has been spoken to; he came, took up a brick or two, very but leaving, it open, the nuisance is partially cleansed it, now worse than before. I have written a note to the constable, asking him to interfere." Two sons of a car penter died at 23, Walnut-tree-place, Lambeth, of " scar latina" and " scarlatina maligna" on the 26th and 27th of May respectively. In the sub -district of All S ou l s, Marylebone, at 14, Castle-street East, a boy, aged two years, died on the 29th May, of "mesenteric disease.' Mr. Wallington makes the following observations:—" Many months ago I reported the unhealthy condition of this house. I am informed that it is still in the same state. The drainage and ventilation are very defective. There are three adults now under medical treatment for diseases, probably induced by these circumstances. A family sleep in the kitchen which is damp and low. All the medical men who visit patients at this house are of one opinion as to its state of disgraceful unhealthiness." At 54, Hexton-square, the two daughters of a coach maker, aged one year and four years, died of "pneu monia," one after 7 days', the other after 6 weeks' ill ness. " This house (says Mr. Pearce) is badly drained, and adjoining is a court witk several houses ill venti lated, very badly drained, and densely populated." Last week a man, aged 69 years, died from "stroke of the sun (20 years auo), tic douloureux, general de cay." A man, aged 70 years, died of " opistaxis (pos teriorly) at intervals (3 weeks), suddenly from suffoca tion; paralysis (3 days)." A girl, aged 9 years, died of " cynanche parotidme (7 days), internal haemorrhage, asphyxia." A man died of intemperance , and a woman from refusal to take food. _ - Hereupon Mr. J. WEBSTER demanded a poll, and Mr. Roy and Mr. W. J. Beale being appointed scrutineers, the meeting was adjourned until four o'clock. When the proceedings of the meeting were resumed, the scrutineers declared the numbers who had voted to be— FOR THE RESOLUTION.

Cap:ain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to the Meander, 44, as commodere of the second class and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station, vice Wyvill, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has expired. Commodore Talbot has served 18 years afloat. He was born Nov. 1, 1801; is second son of the Very Rev. Charles Talbot, D.D., Dean of Sarum (grandson of Charles, first Lord Talbot, Lord High Chancellor of England), by Lady Elizibetti Sorneret. daughter of Henry, filth Dake of Beaufort, and grand daughter of Admiral Hon. Edward 13oacavven. He en tered the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and embarked Dec, 7, 1817, as a volunteer on board the Pro metheus sloop; was nomiteated Oct. 17, 1822, acting lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain William Clarke Jerveice. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th Jan:, 1832, he was next appointed to the Euryalus, 42, and Rtiubew, 28, and attained, April 30, 1827, the rank of commander. Towards the close of May, 1829, Captain Talbot commissioned the Helicon 10, but that vessel being found defective, h e was transferred to the Algerine brig. As a reward for the activity he had dis played in the performance of a detached service in South America, he was, Nov. 25, 1830, promoted by the late Sir Thomas Baker, Commander-in-Chief, into his own fiag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the night of April 6, 1831, an insurrection having broken out at Rio de Ja neiro, he bad the fortune to rescee and bring eff from the Palace of San Christavao their Imperial Majesties, also her Majesty Donna Maria of Portugal, and suite, and the Marquis and Marchioness ,of Loulii-a service which Don Pedro IL subsequently acknowledged by pre senting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vesta!, 26, in which vessel he continued from Nov. 2, 1843, until paid off, in July, 1847. On August 18, 1845, being off the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in trusted by Sir Thomas John Cochrane with the command of the Maluda enterprise, when the loss they sustained was great, extending to no less than six men killed end fifteen wounded. It is scarcely necessary to add that the distinguished gallantry and good conduct exhibited on the occasion by Captain 'Talbot and his brave com panions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an expression of its great admiration and satisfaction. Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte Georgians;, widow of Lieut.-Colonel Stapleton, and daughter of the late Major-General the Hon. Sir Wm. Pousonby, K.C.8., by whom he has issue a son and two daughters. Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky enough to got appointed to the command of the Ferret, 8, at Davenport, for coast of Africa service, has been still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured officer, Captain Dacres. Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been appointed a mail agent in a Cape of Good Hope screw steamer. MALTA, JUNE 2.-On Saturday last the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her voyage in 8i days; she continued her route to Alexan dria on the afternoon of that day, the Banshee, with the portion of the India mail sent through France, having arrived, and performed her trip in 50 hours, 22 minutes, from the moment the order at Marseilles " Go a bead" was given, till " Ease her" in the harbour of Valetta. On board the Bentinck was Lieutenaat-General Fergus son, appointed to the command of the troops, vice Lieu tenant-General Ellice, who has resigned, and who will leave us by the Bentitiek on her return from Alexandria. General Fergusson landed early, having declined all the honours intended for him, and proceeded to the house lately occupied by General Ellice, and which he had vacated for Morell's Hotel. Captain Pocklington, the Military Secretary of the new General, and Captains Denison and Whitmore, as Aides-de-Camp, also arrived. Yesterday the General assumed the command of the troops at 8 Aar., and received a salute from Fort St. Angelo. The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and Terrible; bat it is thought they will immediately pro ceed to join the Admiral, who, by the last advices, was at Port Mahon. Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18t " You are aware we left Malta on the 24th, and on the 28th were joined by the Fury. On the 30th the Tra falgar, having carried away the slings of her mainyard, we anchored off Port Farina (Tunis), until the follow ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren dezvous being Cape de Gate On the 4th of May we had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light ning, and hail. On the 10th we communicated with the English brig Queen of the Tyre, from Newcastle, bound to Tunis, from which vesse l we rece i ved information that she had seen a squadron of five sail off Cape de Gatt, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer. le the evening, when in let. 37° 28' N., and long. 2° 0 1 5° E., Cape do Gatt bearing S. 77 W. 214 miles, we were joined by the Vengeance, Albion, Indefatigable, and Phreon, certainly a splendid addition to our squadron. " On the 11th spoke the English schooner Gwaine Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing topgallaht sails, l ost h er toretopmast, and two men over board, in consequence of which we supplied her with a spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men tion she belongs to Fishguard, and that we spoke her in let. 38 deg, 28 min. N., long. 2 deg. 40 min. E. We have had the usual exercise at quarters, reefing and furling sails, &c., of which it is usetees to give au account, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where we found the Antelope. The Firebrand has had to do all the work in towing, the Fury having had her ma chinery out of order three times during the cruise, being twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by the Bellerophon. On coming into Mahon, the Fire brand towed the Britannia, Trafalgar, and Bel lerophon. Tho Antelope rendered similar friendly services to the Phaeton, Albion, and Vengeance, The Terrible urrived on Sunday morning from Cape de Gatt, bringing dispatches from the Admiralty, in conse. quence of which the Fury was dispatched to Mar seilles t, the same evening; and yesterday morning ' a • (Monday) the Terrible an d I n d e f atigable were sent to t ch:ap.

The Vulcan screw steam troop frigate, Commodecc Von Doeop, was un d oc k ed yesterday after a refit, an d her steam ha s b een since got up to try her engines and boitors. We understand it is in contemplation to adapt three out of the four 120-gua three-deckers on the stock! in this dockyard to screw propulsion, which cola ho done in their present state without incurring ou ch expense. It is rumoured in this port that the reason of the O a° den return to Spithead of the Retribution steam-frigs o is. that her Commander, Captain 'Warden, is about 0 take office at Somerßet•house, under the Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K C. 8., &c.
