The leaders of the Reform League cannot at all events complain that they have not had a fair hear ing, and the events of the last few days must have gr atified that taste for notoriety which has generally a good deal to do with this sort of patriotism. A body of men prepared to run personal risks, to make sacrifices, and to face the terrors of the law, in order to defend the great principles of civil and religious liberty, exact the respect of their opponents and the gratitude of those on whose behalf they are con tending. When the only object to be attained is the holding of a meeting, which at this time of the year can hardly be said to have a definite or prac tical purpose, in one place rather than in another, and the means adopted are the very commonplace ones of smashing everybody's windows, trampling down shrubberies, and stoning policemen, the nar row passage between the sublime and the.ridiculous is very soon accomplished. We doubt whether the crowds who yesterday went to see the scene of de vastation in Hyde-park came away better convinced of the fitness of the lower orders for the fran chise, or of the propriety of allowing these gentry the uncontrolled use of any place of recreation or enjoy- Meta. The worst part of the affair is the damage it will do to the cause of Reform. It is not only the much-abused aristocracy, or the country gentle men, who are so freely denounced at such assem blies that we have to consider : it is the commercial and trading classes, the merchants and shopkeepers, and professional men, who have, after all, so much influence in the matter. These will naturally be inclined to consider whether such scenes of lawless riot as likely to follow the diffusion of political knowledge and the extension of political rights among the people, and a good many of them will be inclined to answer it in the negative. It is very well for those who have set the whole affair in motion to grow alarmed or ashamed at its conse quences, and to throw the whole blame on the resistance of the civil authorities ; but the sort of men and lads who startled London from its slumbers on Monday night are not exactly the kind whom it is safe to gather together in large numbers. Mr. BEALES and Colonel DICKSON may rejoice over their victory if they will. We regard it as a mortifying defeat. It has disappointed the ex pectations formed not unreasonably of the English working man, and has proved that the boasted power of self-control and self-government exists only so long as he keeps in the beaten track under authority. If questions of disputed right are to be settled by flints and truncheons, instead of by courts of law, we are some degrees lower in civilisa tion than we believed. Our philosophical reformers, such as Mr. MILL, carry their enlightened theories so far as to advocate the representation of minorities; but, we would ask Mr. BEALES and his friends, what chance is there for minorities to make themselves heard in their new system of government ? Des potism and Democracy come to precisely the same thing in the end—government based on might rather than right—on the temporary passion IF desire of the moment, not on those principles which cautious men approve as the safeguards of civil liberty. Mr. WALPOLE received the deputation yesterday in his usual courteous and conciliatory manner, and undertook that there should be no unnecessary in terference on the part of the police or the military, provided the people refrained from actual violence. He also pledged the Government to assist in bring ing the question of right to a speedy issue, from which the deputation, by some extraordinary mis understanding, drew the inference that they would be permitted to meet in Hyde Park on Monday next. This impression Mr. WALPOLE has hastened to remove ; and it is difficult to understand how it could ever have been conveyed. The whole matter will probably receive further discussion, and we can hardly suppose that the general feeling of the public will be inclined to reverse the prohibition long since wisely put by a Liberal Ministry upon the use of Hyde Park as a locality for monster meetings in stead of for health and recreation. Frankfort is still the chief theme of discussion just now, and the perils that menace that famous old city naturally give rise to inquiry and comment in all directions. Everywhere the details of violence have roused indignation and surprise, but nothing seems likely to check the course of the unscrupulous tyrants who now rule the day in that city. At Berlin, it is true, they have contradicted many of the statements made concerning Prussian ill-usage, but we should place more credence in the denial if it came from any other quarter. At any rate, it is asserted that the French EMPEROR has remonstrated concerning the treatment that the inhabitants have met with, and it is the more to be censured because it differs so much from the course pursued at other places by the victorious army. Certainly the intelligence that we have lately received goes far to give plausibility to the rumour that the persecutions directed against Frank fort proceed from direct instructions sent by the Berlin Government. There is no use in solemn, assertions and indignant denials being made in the official organs at Berlin, when we hear quite the contrary in another direction as to the tactics that are being pursued. We need be under no delusion in one respect at all events ; and that is, that the Prussian authorities are doing them selves and their cause inestimable damage by their violent and vindictive acts. Whether they obtain the money or not, they will be the losers in the long run by the wanton course they are pursuing. They are now unmasking themselves with a vengeance, and exhibiting to the world that no considerations cf justice or magnanimity will weigh with them if they run contrary to their selfish desires, or s a m thwarte t theirthing in d th u love of oppressio n . It was th e thee samelate w names arin ng Denmark; occurri and when we as the authors of similar outrages, we are forced to conclude that their ads . are not only sanctioned but encouraged by the Government under which they act. It has been a source of regret to a ll a nation u 'oven of fair play that so infitlentiAl THE SUN, LONDON, TBURSDAY EVENING, J ULY 26, 1866, Prussia should do her utmost to encourage rather than repress the cruel propensities of her people. Perhaps it suits the purpose of the authorities better so to act, but it is a most mistaken line for them to adopt. It is said that the burgomaster committed suicide to avoid the difficulties which menaced him; but be this as it may, we have no doubt that his death was occasioned by the fearful anxiety and confusion that surrounded him. Of what moment is it, however, to these rapacious conquerors that one or more victims fall before their chariot wheels ? Herr von BISMARCK must needs pursue his way, and carry out his designs coute qui coute. That a part of these designs is to ruin Frankfort we en tertain no doubt, and we hope that he may have ample cause to repent such a dastardly purpose. It is true that nothing may now avail .to save the city from the doom with which it is now threatened, but the wrong will not be speedily forgotten, and the hour may come when it will be returned fourfold to Prussia. This hard and harsh measure that is being dealt out to Frankfort will doubtless be the commence ment of a series of persecutions that will signalise the victories of the Prussian arms. Thus we find this armistice, so much talked of, does not extend to the lesser States, and that Bavaria cannot obtain an assurance that hostilities will cease against the Federal Army simultaneously with the armistice with Austria. This seems to be a most one-sided sort of arrangement, and we wonder that the French EMPEROR did not seek to alter it, but per haps he thought he had better take what he could get without losing more time. Already grave apprehensions are being entertained as to the future course which will be taken by the Berlin Govern ment when the day of settlement arrives, and there is indeed ample cause for such sinister prognostica tions to be indulged in. At Munich it is thought that Prussia will claim the reimbursement of all the sums expended by her for the maintenance of the Federal fortresses when her proposals concerning South Germany come to light. No doubt this, and more than this, will come to pass when the day of reckoning arrives, for no sooner do the Prussian authorities feel that they possess any accession of power than they hasten to show it to the uttermost. It has been rumoured that difficulties have inter posed themselves in the way of the peace negotia tions, and that Prussia refuses to agree to the re storation of the. King of SaxoNv, which Austria makes a sine qua non. Whether this be true or not, it is certain that there is some some foundation for it, as the semi-official Nord Deutsche Zeitung makes allusion to the fact that Baron von BEUST is one of the ill-advisers of the EMPEROR, and adds that in consequence of the attitude of some Saxon autho rities, and the contumacy of the commandant of Konigstein, " radical changes will shortly be effected by Vienna in her relations with the Saxon Administration." This sounds very significant, and no doubt will be the precursor of many other impor tant changes. If Herr BISMARCK is allowed to carry out his projects he will indeed have cause to congratulate himself upon remodelling the map of Germany, but it will remain to be seen whether his change will be for the better. Deeds, and not words, are required to show the accuracy of a man's judgment, and experience must teach us if the councils of a nation are influenced by the highest principles or merely actuated by desire of gain and thirst for self-aggrandisement. We believe that when all is known that can be known of the manceuvres of the Berlin Govern ment that it will be seen on what foundations they rest and how much can be trusted to their magna nimity and moderation. If those are mistaken who do evil that good may come out of it, how much more are those to blame who rush on to their goal heedless of all that stands in their way, and totally unmindful of the restraints that justice and mercy should interpose ? It is quite idle to expect any thing satisfactory to accrue from Prussian rule, while no sort of consideration is displayed by the Government at Berlin. There was not much chance that Mr. HOPE'S motion on Monday evening, to the effect that " A new National Gallery be erected on the site of Bur lington House Gardens," would be favourably re ceived by the House of Commons. He obtained, indeed, some support from Mr. LAYARD, Mr. GREGORY, and a few other members; but the test of a division soon showed on which side the sense of the house was, and a majority of 77 reaffirmed the decision of the last Parliament. Mr. BERESFORD HOPE stated his case in a very plausible fashion. " There was," he said, " a certain area at present not built upon, of the size, shape, and dimensions required, larger in extent than any of the great existing public galleries of Europe, already the pro perty of the public, and on which a national gal lery could be economically and speedily constructed. On the other hand, there was another area, cut up by streets, covered by a workhouse, which could not be procured without au enormous outlay of money ; covered by barracks, which could not be obtained in less than two years, and could not be removed without great inconvenience to the State ; and covered, besides, by many private houses. He called upon the House to say which of these two areas it was most desirable to occupy for the National Gallery." These arguments, however, are not quite correct. The expense attending the removal of the National Gallery to Burlington House would be great, and it would be necessary to pull down Bur lington House itself, which would be lamented by all antiquaries. Besides, it is not the question of a year or two solely, or of a few thousands more or less. The public will be easily satisfied on both points, provided that a great national work is car ried out in a national spirit. The site is the only satisfactory point about the present building. It is the finest in London, it has convenient approaches on every side, and is in the, very centre of the metropolis, with ready means of transit to every part of London. Moreover, as Mr. COWPER showed, the cost of the Trafalgar-square scheme has been exag gerated, while Burlington House site is worth £200,000. Lord JOHN MANNERS reminded the House that there were several learned societies at present located in Burlington House, and assured the friends of economy that by the time all the items had been reckoned a considerable sum total would be arrived at. The fact of the matter is that the House and the public long ago settled that the present site was the best that could be found, and the present building wholly inadequate, so that nothing remains but to bring them into harmony by erecting a really na tional building. As for the barracks, they can surely be moved without " great inconvenience to the State," while the situation of St. Martin's Workhouse is manifestly ill-adapted for the resi dence of those sick, infirm, and aged persons who preponderate among our paupers. No adequate reason has been brought forward for reversing the former decision, and we are very glad to find the Government intends to abide by it. THE OPERA OF "FAUST."—The case of " Gye v. Mapleson" came on yesterday at the Judges' Chambers. The present application was on tho part of Mr. Mapleson, of Her Majesty's Theatre, against the plaintiff, Mr. Gye, of the Royal Italian Opera Rouse, for an inspection of documents. The action was for penalties for the perfor mance of "Faust." Mr. Bailey appeared for Mr. Mapleson, and Mr. Dodgson for Mr. Gye. The parties agreed to an inspection, and Ur. Box= Bramwell made an order. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The news of yesterday of the adhesion of the Italian Government to the armistice is fully con firmed to-day, but the influence upon the Bourse isnot so marked as was anticipated. Business is still limited, and prices do not improve materially. The letters from Vienna state that the Prussian army is on the march towards the Danube, in thiee columns. The column of the west, 40,000 strong, has already detachments near Stockerau, close to the Danube. Prince Frederick,Charles is at Hohe nau, and the King at Count Mensdorff's chateau of Nikolsburg. The army of the Prince Royal, esti mated at 60,000 men, pursues its march across the small chains of the Carpathian mountains on the left bank of the March, - the river which sepa rates Hungary from Moravia. The destina tion appears to be Presburg. The Austrian army of the North, commanded by General Benedek, also in the direction for Olmutz, towards Presburg, successfully effected its move ment without interruption from the Prussians. It also appears to have had the advantage in two trifling encounters. Within a few days the number of Austrian troops occupying strong positions round Vienna towards Hungary will amount to 200,000. The condition of the soldiers is excellent ; and should. the Prussian army attempt the passage of the Danube in the direction of Presburg, which seems to be their intention, they will meet with vigorous resistance. The total of the soldiers com prising the Prussian army is also estimated at 200,000 men. _ The truce will expire on Friday, and in the mean time the negotiations for an armistice for a month proceed. The Paris news-makers are hard at work in explaining all sorts of conditions'of peace; but I refrain from following out their lucubrations, and your readers will do well not to place any confidence in what they may see about them elsewhere. The war party at Vienna are not inactive. The Cama rade says : " We believe that the five days of truce will not bring about peace. Such a peace would not produce happiness, and could not last. A peace concluded at such a moment, before having given another battle, before having once more tried the fortune of war with all the forces of Austria, would fill with dis couragement and grief the hearts of thousands of brave soldiers. Should the exclusion of Austria from the Germanic Confederation be a sine qua non of such a peace, we have only one observation to make. Our army is not only Austrian, but it has always been a German-Austrian army." Prince Napoleon Jerome arrived at Ferrara just at the moment when the King was about to cross the Po, and remove his head quarters to Rovigo. The order was therefore countermanded, a fact which created the impression that the postponement of the entrance of the King into Venetia was indi cative of some striking coming event. Nothing had transpired as to the mission of Prince Napoleon to Italy, as the Moniteur called it ; but although the Prince has several times declared himself openly in favour of war. on the part of Italy, his " mission," under present circumstances, is considered as a great step in behalf of a pacific policy. At all events men in the highest position at Ferrara believe that if there were any conditions in the proposals of peace unfavourable to Italy the Prince would not have accepted the office of diplomatic mediator. Philippe, the murderer, was executed yesterday morning at six o'clock at La Roquette, near the Bastille. A few days after his condemnation he lost his appetite and even smoked very little. He only lost his energy temporarily, and said he should die as well as he could. He was in so sound a sleep at half-past 5 o'clock in the morning that the gaoler was obliged to give him a shake to wake him up. He enjoyed the consolations of religion from the Abbe Crozes, and received the communion on Thursday last. To the last he persisted in the defence he made at his trial, admitting the murder of the woman Bodeux in consequence of a quarrel about money, but said the murder was quite unpremedi tated. He added, however, that he did attempt to murder Madame Midy, and he did not know what led him to do it. Certainly it was not with the idea of robbery. At the last moment Philippe persisted in this statement. He said, " I have only two crimes to reproach myself with. That is enough." It may be recollected that there were strong suspicions that Philippe murdered 15 women, either in Paris, in the provinces of France, or in Algeria, the circumstances under which they were assassinated coinciding exactly with those of the woman Bodeux. Philippe died instantaneously. The crowd was immense. Michel Garibaldi, the brother of the General, who has for some time been seriously ill at Nice, died in that town on Sunday, There has been a murder and suicide at Iralay, in the department of Haute Saone, under these cir cumstances. A man named Jacques Oudet had very resentful feelings against his brother, believing that he had an improper intimacy with his sister-in law. Jacques watched for his intended victim in the forest, and on meeting him discharged the con- tents of a gun in his head. )In order to divert sus picion, the murderer placed the gun in the hand of the corpse after putting the muzzle in his throat to give the idea of suicide. The device did not de ceive the police, who went upon the traces of the murderer, but he was beforehand with them, and blew out his brains at his own. house. A man rather distinguished in the literary world, M. Theodore Muret, has just died in Paris. I have spoken of the destructive doings of the locusts in Algeria. Bordeaux is now a prey to a sudden invasion of myriads of mosquitoes. They are so minute that they can hardly be seen, but they make themselves felt very effectively and un pleasantly. _lt is while you are in bed that they make their visits. When you wake up in the morning you find red marks all over your body, which first annoy you with a sharp smart, and this sensation is ever and anon changed and diver sified with such terrible itchings that the most timorous man is sure to " come up to the scratch." Some thirty years ago there was just such a plague at Marseilles and other places for a radius of 50 or 60 miles. The beds were then screened with a thin gauze or muslin, but in spite of that I was a martyr to their unwelcome intentions of that time. For the last few days the mornings have been rather cold, with a touch of easterly wind. The days have lost their recent intense heat, and for the present at least we seem under the prevalence of premature autumn. The Caen Races, which commence on Sunday, ex cite considerable interest in France. The amount of the stakes to be contested for in the two days is £2,000, exclusive of the sums for entries. On the following Sunday the races at Deauville will take place. The amount of the stakes there reaches £4,000. Many English horses are entered. The race for the Deauville Prize, with 20,000 f. added, will no doubt be a splendid affair. The cup, by Marochetti, is a beautiful work of art. The Duke of Beaufort takes great interest in these races. Perhaps I need scarcly add that the port of Deau ville in the Channel is easy of access, and the place is rapidly rising in trade and public estimation. AN AMPLE APOLOGY TO MR. BRIGHT.—The Star publishes a correspondence of an edifying character. When Mr. Stephen Cave, the new Vice-President of the Board of Trade, was speaking from the hustings at Shore ham, he attacked Mr. Bright, and stated that the manufac tory belonging to the hon. member for Birmingham was one of the worst conducted in the kingdom. For this Mr. Mills, manager to Messrs. Bright and Co., has taken Mr. Cave to task, and the latter gentleman has replied by with drawing what he says and apologising for saying it. When he read the report of his speech the next morning, he re gretted, he says, having made the allusion at all. Mr. Mills, accepting the apology, adds ;---" Should official duty or any other circumstance ever bring you into this neigh bourhood, and you will favour the humble individual who now addresses you with a call at the works, he will show you a population as well paid and cared for, whether in the workshop or the sick rocm, as any either in the north or south of England." THE MISSING MONARCH OF THE SEAS.—A bottle has been found at Devonport, containing a paper, on which was written :—" Monarch of the Seas. Left Liverpool, 19th March. May 2, no wind, short of provisions, and no water. In a gale 3d April, lat 25 dog. 20 min. N, long. 47 deg. 8 mu. W.—Wm. Johnson, passenger." LATEST INTELIAII+ENtiI.3. (RE uTE It'S TELEGRAMS.) SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND ITALY. FLORENCE, July 26. The suspension of hostilities between Austria and Italy commenced yesterday morning at four o'clock, when the heads of the Italian columns halted where they stood. Other troops may make movements , but not go beyond the points occupied by the heads of the columns. Prince Amadeus arrived yesterday at Ronzo and met with an enthusiastic reception. Signor Quintino Sella will be nominated Royal Commissioner for the province of Treviso. General Medici arrived yesterday evening at Pergine, a very strong position, eight ,kilometres distant from Trent. NIKOLSBURG, July 24 (Evening). Herr von der Pfordten, the Bavarian Minister, arrived at the Prussian outposts this afternoon, ac companied by an Austrian officer. He shortly after wards left his card in person at the residence of Count von Bismarck. He has not yet had a conference with the Prus sian Minister. Her von der Pfordten is said to have come here at the suggestion of M. Benedetti and Count Karolyi. All the positions held by the Prussian troops up to noon on the 22d inst. are maintained. Negociations are still carried on. The King has received Count Karolyi at the Castle of Nikolsburg. The Austrian loss in the engagement near Bru menau was 600, of whom 200 were made prisoners. The Prussian loss, killed and wounded, did not reach 100 men. TRIESTE, July 24. Admiral Tegethoff has arrived here on his way to Vienna. CANADA. TORONTO, July 9. The resolutions on which it is intended to base the local constitutions of Upper and Lower Canada under Confederation have been laid before the Legislature. For Lower Canada there are to be Chambers, one elected, and the other nominated by the Crown for life. In Upper Canada there is to be only one Chamber, of 82 members. In each pro vince there is to be a responsible Government. M. Galt has announced that he will not alter any of the material propositions in his intended tariff changes.

The Tanjore, from Southampton on the 20th inst., arrived at midnight yesterday, and leaves at 10 a.m. to-day for Alexandria. All well. FRANCE. Difficulties have arisen in the peace negotiations. Austria makes the restoration of the King of Saxony a sine qua non. This Prussia refuses. A letter from Ferrara of the 21st, in the Siecle, says :—" Prince Napoleon arrived at Ferrara at the very moment the King was preparing to cross the Po and remove head-quarters to Rovigo. The Prince's arrival has caused a great sensation in Italy. On the eve of that event every one was for war ; men's minds had been over-excited by the warlike proclamation of the Archduke Albert, taking leave of his soldiers of the army of the south, but hinting at his return. The news was also known of the triumph of Garibaldi, who had seized the fort of Ampola. But hardly had the Prince ar rived than the rumour of the armistice commenced at once to circulate, and, I ought to say, was re ceived without much repugnance. 'lf the con ditions of peace were unfa vourable for Italy,' said to me a deputy of the Left, it is evident that Prince Napoleon would not have accepted the task of inducing the King to agree to it. Finally we do not wish war for its own sake, and provided that the honour and the interests of Italy are safe guarded, we ought not to refuse the propositions made to us.' You know what Italy wishes and de mands? Besides Venetia, she claims possession of the Southern Tyrol, Istria, and Trieste. The Tyrol is, in effect, the gate of Italy on the German side ; it is by that door that for centuries the German armies have precipitated themselves on that penin stla. For Italy to be really mistress at home, that she may have nothing to fear from the ambition of her neighbour, she must have the key of the Tyrol, inhabited besides by a population Italian in their customs, language, and sentiments. There is every reason to believe that her demand on this point will be supported by France and Prussia, but I think also that the questions of Istria and Trieste will not be so favourably resolved. France would make no objection ; she would ask nothing better even than that Trieste should become an Italian port. But I have been told that Prussia does not show herself at all favourable to the pretensions of Italy on Istria and Trieste. Prussia commanding the land and sea forces of the Confe deration, and aspiring to become a maritime Power, does not wish Germany to be completely excluded from the Adriatic. Entire Germany draws too many advantages from the possession of Trieste, in a com mercial point of view, for Prussia to accede to the abandonment of that port to Italy. Besides, Italy attaches more importance to the Tyrol, and I be lieve that if she has demanded Istria in addition, that was because she thinks it advisable to ask the more even if she obtains the less." A communication fi.om Storo, in the Tyrol, nar rates a striking incident connected with the cap ture of the Austrian fort of Ampola : " A lieutenant of artillery had been sent with a single cannon to open fire against the fortress. The piece had been placed just behind the last angle which covered the most advanced sentinel. Here the piece was charged, and then by means of a rope it was dragged beyond the protecting angle, and placed in position on the road opposite the fort, at a distance of about 150 paces. There, entirely un sheltered, under the fire of the carbines, the lieu tenant pointed it himself, and the brigadier fired. In this perilous manner thirty-four shots were fired in less than an hour. At the moment that the lieutenant pointed it for the thirty-fifth time, and that the brigadier stood at his terrible post, a cannon placed on the small advanced work of the fort vomited forth a deluge of grape. The lieutenant and the brigadier fell, the first struck with instantaneous death, and the second so mutilated that he expired im mediately. The names of these brave men, who with admirable coolness had engaged in a duty where death was inevitable will live in the memory of the batta lion who witnessed the quiet simplicity of their heroism. The name of the lieutenant, a young man of 25, was Alasio, and that of the brigadier Cardone. In the first burst of emotion the piece was aban doned on the road, but the volunteers, fearing that the besieged might attempt its capture, rushed back to the fatal spot and saved the cannon. But a gre nade fell in the midst of them and placed 25 hors de combat. I saw several whose wounds were fortu nately of a slight character ; but an amputation was in one instance necessary on the spot, and several ambulance waggons soon after passed carrying off those who were most gravely injured." The Moniteur, in its political summary, has the following :—" Accounts from Moravia state that the advance of the Prussian army towards the Danube was made in three columns during the few days which preceded the suspension of arms. The western column, 40,000 strong, has established some detachments at Stockerau, a few miles higher up the riyer than the capital. Prince Frederick Charles has fixed his head-quarters at Hohenau ; the King at the chateau of. Nikolsburg, belonging to Count de Mensdorff ; and the Prince Royal at Eisgrut, near Lundenburg, a seat of the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein. In the centre, two army corps have advanced into the plain of the Marchfield, and are near Gannersdorff. The army of the Prince Royal is pursuing its march through the small chain of the Carpathian mountains on the left bank of the March, a river which separates Hungary from Mo ravia and falls into the Danube between Vienna and Presburg, and in the valley of the Waag, a river of Hungary, having its source in the Car pathians, and which joins the Danube at Komorn. The object of that movement of the troops under the Prince Royal appears to be to reach Presburg. On the other hand, the Austrian army of the north, commanded by General Benedek, has also pro ceeded from Olmutz to Presburg, and has success fully effected that movement without being inter cepted by the Prussians. It even appears to have obtained some slight advantages in two encounters. The Austrian forces, which number about 200,000, occupy . strong positions around Vienna and i n th e direction of Hungary."

Intelligence from Mangan states that the discon tented tribe which had taken up arms against the Moorish governor of the province had dispersed but were not satisfied. They had been driven into re volt, it is said, by the extortion of the governor, and whilst in arms against the government, had re spected foreigners and their property. The Chronicle says Spain recently iplaced the whole litoral of North Africa and the ports of Mo rocco in quarantine, and the Morocco Board of Health has retaliated by refusing to admit into Morocco ports vessels from Spain. The order for sending three frigates to the Pacific has been rescinded by the present Government of Spain. The following British vessels have arrived here since the sailing of the last mail :—Steamers.—The Palermo from Glasgow, the Demetrius and Sicilian from Liverpool, the Ceylon from Southampton, the Florence from Newcastle, the Thetis from London, the Annie Smith from Newcastle, the Rona from Glasgow. Schooners.—The Patriot from Cardiff, the Constance from Salem,the Margaret Jones from Cardiff. Barque.—Clio from Newcastle. Brigan tines.—The Ellen Owen from Cardiff, and Gwain Maid from Swansea. Brig.—Courier from Cardiff. The steamer Californian, from Barbadoes, with cargo and troops of Royal Artillery, arrived on.the 14th. Exchanges are unaltered. The National Freedmen's Aid Union. On Wednesday evening a conversazione took place at the Hanover-square Rooms, under the auspices of the Duke of Argyll and Lord Lyttelton, patrons, and Sir T. Fowell Buxton, Bart., M.P., president of the National Freedmen's Aid Union of Great Britain and Ireland, for the purpose of afford ing the supporters of this institution an op portunity of meeting the Rev. Robert J. Parvin, rector of St. Paul's, Cheltenham, Philadelphia, hon. official representative of the American Freed men's Union Commission, previous to his return to the United States. Amongst the company present were Mr. Hughes, M.P., the Rev. J. C. Galloway, Mr. T. L. Pulling, Mr. Elihu Burritt, the Rev. Mr. Parvin (the guest of the evening), the Rev. Sella Martin, the Rev. J. W. M'Cree, Mr. B. H. H, Cadbury, of Birmingham, the Rev. Samuel Minton, Mr. James Bell, Mr. Andrew Cosham, Mr. Henry Vincent, the Rev. John Siebold, &c. Mr. T. HUGHES, M.P., having been called upon to preside, observed that they were assembled together on this occasion to hear a few parting words from a gentleman who was the appointed representative of the American Freedmen's Union Commission, who had been several months in this country exerting his endeavours in furtherance of the cause which that union was designed to advocate. The accounts which had been received from America showed that the worst part of the work sought to be carried out had been already accomplished. The freed people were working admirably in the Southern States, and the new condition of affairs had been accepted in a much more satisfactory degree than was expected a few months since. The Rev. SAMUEL MINT ON proposed, and the Rev. JOHN SIEB OLD seconded, a resolution to the effect that the meeting heartily sympathised withthe multitude of philanthropists nobly engaged in vari ous freedmen's aid associations and otherwise in pro moting the welfare of four millions of emancipated slaves in the United States of America ; it regrets that the series of political and financial crises in this Country—now historical—have limited the practical results of the very valuable honorary services of the Rev. Robert Parvin, who has visited Great Britain at the invitation of the National Freedmen's Aid Union as the representative of the American Freed men's Union Commission. That this meeting fur ther assure Mr. Parvin, and the great body he had so wisely and faithfully represented, of their warm sympathy and continued practical co-operation, and rejoiced in the deep conviction that the Divine bless ing would be even more signally accorded to the persevering efforts of the various freedmen's aid associations throughout the world. The resolution was carried by acclamation, and Mr. PARVIN, in acknowledging it, expressed his gratitude for the sympathy he had received in this country, and committed the cause they were advocating to the continued support of those who formed a due estimate of the import ance which attached to the best means of aiding the emancipated slaves in America. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient set' vant, July 25. S. WALPOLE• SIR HENRY EDWARDS. We have to congratulate Colonel Edwards an d his numerous friends in the West and East Riding on the well-merited honour of the baronetcy recently conferred upon him. His own services to the Ce ll servative cause, in the numerous elections he b as contested (no less than seven in 19 years), and in ' unwearied attention to his Parliamentary dale ▪ s ' have not been his 'only claim tolhis distinction. The Edwardses have ever been staunch suppor ters of the constitution, and in the days of his fore fathers Pye Nest was always the headquarters e' Lascelles and Wilberforce, when canvassing t he , district in thegreat contests for the representatio n o: the county. The gallant colonel's private worth an d the faithful discharge of his duties as a magistrate, and as commandant of the 2d West York Yeo manry Cavalry, are too well kno w n an d appreciat ed to need our allusion to them. He materially as sisted the late respected Colonel Pollard in raising that regiment after the riots of 1842, a t the urge n t solicitation of the Lord Lieutenant, and in bringing it to its present high state of efficiency. In recog nition of his political services, a magnificent pie ce of plate, costing upwards of 1000 guineas, wasp sented to him by the constituency of Halifax an the inhabitants of the district. His advocacy of t u bo e interests of the labouring classes, espe c ially as tP s , seconder and strenuous supporter of John Fielding n Ten Hours' Bill, proposed by Lord Ashley, as as his determined' opposition to the after compro mise of eleven hours, will ever be gratefully retnen i .: bered. Although an opponent of the R us sell-Gla d ' stone Reform Bill, he gave proof he was not ave rse to a judicious extension of the franchise, by his al; port of Lord Derby's bill in 1859. The mercantile house established by his family, in which he is i nte• rested, has been connected with Spai n an d S. Am eri▪ a , for more than a century. They a r e of Wrarwiek t shire origin, the grandfather of the hon. barn n ,, e o having settled in this district in 1749, and about years after built Pye Nest, the colonel's present is; sidence.

In quoting the above from ' n il , contemporary, we cordially add our own congra t be lations on the occasion of this recognition of fat worth of our, gallant representative, and beli es that there is but one feeling on the part of the i con stituency here, and that is that th e honour thoroughly deserved. Men of all sh a d es of politi▪ cs o must admit that, from the date of his first re turn for Beverley in 1857, up to the present time , t . P O , consistency with which he has maintained his ciples, and his conduct as a gentleman, entitle 1 "; to his newly-acquired position, which he will ev hold with dignity.—Beverley Guardian.
