The twenty-eighth anniversary of her MAJEsn's accession could hardly fail to excite the deepest in terest among her loyal subjects, and the fact of that day being fixed for the reception of the city ad dresses on the birth of a young Prince added to the interest of, the occasion, It is-not given to; every THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1865. Sovereign to rule for more than a quarter of a con-' the : Prussian Government should have done so tury over such a loyal and united people, and if the h unwise a thing as to imprison Dr. JACOBY. They early age at whic h her MAJESTY ascended the I / have made a great mistake in so doing, and the throne gave good grounds for hoping for a pro- effect of such a daring action will be most disastrous longed reign there is at least cause for special re- to the authorities. Nothing can greatly surprise joicing in the material welfare and moral progress of one, however, that takes place in Berlin now, no the country underhersway. Theyearsduring which ma tter bovr harsh and unjustifiable it may be. she has held the sceptre have not been uneventful ; they have been full of wars and revolutions, they have witnessed important changes in politics and in society. Old forms of Government have passed away, new dynasties have arisen, new boundaries have been given to old kingdoms. During all these stirring changes the British empire has continued growing richer, more powerful, and more internally prosperous. Its people have increased in content ment and unity, as well as in the possession of mate rial wealth, and the still more valuable acquisition of knowledge, so that the proudest dreams and the most sanguine auguries of the young QUEEN'S well-wishers on the day of her Coronation have been more than bilfined The public has at last arrived at the conclusion that tl2 e present gas monopoly is quite intolerable. Mono/ iolies of every sort are bad and unpopular, but, p( rhaps, in no article of daily consumption is so mut arbitrary power conferred on the mono polist. Gas has become almost a necessary of life To the merchant or tradesman it is certainly an absolute necessity, and if in disgust at the quality of thq gas supplied, or indignation at the overcharge of the company which supplies him, a private house holder takes to lamps in his drawing-room and library, and candles in his kitchen, there still re mains the entrance, the halls, and passages to provide for, where a change cannot be introduced without a good deal of out lay and inconvenience, so that the gas com panies have things pretty much their own way, and any remonstrance is hopeless. It is not an appeal from Philip Drunk to Philip Sober, but an appeal to the very same Philip who knows you are at his mercy, since he is the irresponsible lord of your district, and competition is a thing unknown. Quality and price are as he chooses, and if the vic tim remonstrates he is told he may go without gas altogether, an alternative which is tolerably certain to insure submission. The correspondent of a con temporary has just given us an instance of this man ner of government, for, having objected to a sud den rise in the quarter's gas account from £7 to £ll, he was informed that the supply would be discontinued and legal steps taken for enforcing the payment complained of. Englishmen are famous for their toleration of social abuses, but really this system is a little too despotic to be endured. We are not surprised to find the good citizens of London who, thanks to their immense warehouses, dark thoroughfares, and London fogs, are especially dependent upon gas, taking active measures to pro cure the repeal of the Gas Act of 1860, and to secure a reduction in the price of gas from 4s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per 1,000 cubic feet. This will certainly be a great boon to the consumer if it is put into practice. The gas companies will have to look to their laurels, for it is proposed that the corporation shall under take the business itself, and shall apply to Parliament for powers to make and supply gas to the • city. With this object the LORD MAYOR has convened a public meeting to be held next Monday at the Guildhall, which will no doubt be largely attended, and will, we hope, inaugurate a practical reform of a great practical abuse. No less than thirty-eight corpora tions and towns in the United Kingdom manufac ture their own gas on the ratepayers' account ; and since the corporation of the City is willing to un dertake the responsibility, by all means let them make the experiment. It is not to be tolerated that many who are willing to pay a fair sum should not be able to get a good article properly supplied to them because a monopoly stands in the way. We have tried the gas companies long enough, and since they have used their power with neither justice nor mercy, it is quite time that we should institute some new and better system. In that domestic life which so seldom reserves its favours for crowned heads Queen VICTORIA has been no less fortunate, and the congratulations of yesterday were directed, not to the anniversary of the chief public ceremonial of her reign, or the suc cessful discharge of those anxious and responsible duties which she assumed with her crown, but to an event which must naturally rejoice any mother's heart, no less in the cottage than the parlour. So affectionate a parent as Queen VICTORIA has always shown herself to be must participate in the griefs and pleasures of her children, and, as QUEEN, it must be gratifying to her to see her dynasty so well assured. The birth of her eighth grandchild while she is yet in the prime of life is of itself an interesting spec tacle. She may reasonably hope to see her descen dants of the second generation grow up to manhood and womanhood, repeating, we trust, the virtues of their ancestress. But however brilliant any mortal position or prospect may appear, it is never actually cloudless. We cannot always see the drawback to success or the disappointment that takes the bloom from all possessions, or the hidden sorrow which serves to temper the apparent brilliancy of the most seemingly dazzling fortune. In Queen VICTORIA'S case the shadow is only too apparent, and must have been especially present with her yesterday amidst all the congratulations and rejoicings of the hour. The sorrow which has clouded her life must have mingled largely in the memories of her earlier years, and - have been especially so with her as she listened to the addresses on that domestic event in which he whom she missed from her side would have felt so deep an interest. In these mixed sentiments of joy and sorrow her sympathising people can well enter, rejoicing, however, that as Time goes on he not only soften the memories of the past, but brings new hopes and new interests to lighten the prospects of the future. The affairs of Prussia seem likely to afford sub, jects of interest and inquiry for some time to come, and there appears no present chance of things coming to a settlement. Herr VON BISMARCK seems likely to come to a fix before long with his man oeuvres and machinations, and Austria appears as if she at length was reaching the limits of endurance. It has been seen for some time by acute observers that the Vienna Cabinet were taking things too tamely, and that in all probability their supine course would eventually increase the arrogance and augment the demands of Prussia. Such has proved to be the case, and there threatens to be a serious difference before long between the two German Powers, who as allies continued to destroy Denmark, and yet cannot agree among themselves. The last news is that Prussia has intimated to Austria that the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG must leave the Duchies, or there will be no convening of the Schleswig- Holstein Parliament. This is a very significant hint ; though some people may think that the Duke cannot do much harm. At any rate it looks as if the Duke had won his way in the good opinion of the people of the Duchies, and was a formidable opponent in reality, though not apparently, of any great weight or importance. He forms a very convenient excuse for those who do not like the proposed connection of the Duchies to Prussia ; and doubtless, when things come to a climax, it will be seen that he has more adherents and supporters than was at all believed probable at one time. The fact is that the ingenious dodge of Herr von Ms 3IARCK has not been successful, and many feel justly indignant at the manner in which the Duke has been treated. Whether he had a right or not to the rule of the Duchies, there can be no possible excuse for first supporting his cause, and then, under one pretext or another, turning round and setting up other aspirants. Such a course is very emblematical of the principles of the Berlin Government ; but it naturally gives rise to reflection, and creates an unfavourable impres sion upon those who care very little one way or another how the vexed question is finally settled, but cannot endure trickery and deceit. Herr von BISMARCK seems resolved to put as many insults upon the Austrian Government as he can in a covert manner, and it is not at all likely that they will long be tamely submitted to. It may also be very likely that the idea of allowing a represen tative assembly has been given up altogether by Prussia, and that therefore this desire has been re sorted to of demanding the absence of the Duke of AuGusTENnunG. It is hardly possible:to follow up all the machinations of these crafty politicians, but we may safely infer that more mischief is brewing, and more sinister designs are in course of forma tion. The Prussian Crown lawyers have made the astounding discovery that Austria and Prussia possess claims to the Duchies, supe rior to any others, and that their rights are indisputable. Can anything be more ridiculous than this ? or more calculated to exhibit in its true light the hidden workings and real meaning of the affair? The way in which the German Powers, especially Prussia, have gone on, is a disgrace to themselves, and an insult to the common sense and right feeling of the other nations of Europe. The Schleswig-Holstein question has been before the world for some considerable period already, and yet who can predict with any show of reason that it is likely to be speedily adjusted. A more shameless exhibition of paltry schemes, and a more disgraceful disregard for consideration of the rights of others, has never been witnessed. It is quite impos sible to over-rate the importance of the change which has taken place of late in the opinions of the people of this country respecting Prussia. Several considerations, and the manoeuvres of Ministers, may for a time hush up the affair, and screen much that is unfavourable from observation, but not the less has the sentiment taken deep root in the minds of the community. It is in some sort satisfactory to notice the precarious nature of the ties that exist between Austria and Prussia. It is certainly an om i nous s i gn th a t th e Mi n i sters s h ou ld gned at this juncture, and more especially havethat Countresigned MENsDORFF POUILLY should not have resigned. This statesman's well-known anta gonism to Berlin is sufficient to give rise to the most unfavourable suppositions. It CiiriOU3 to notice that at this critical juncture Lord DERBY has written a letter to the Committee of Council on Education on the subject of forming a National Portrait Exhibition. Such a matter cannot but prove deeply interesting to all who are able to appreciate it, and, it may be added, that the remarks of the noble Earl are very appropriate, and his suggestions excellent. He states that the chronological arrangement of a National Portrait Exhibition might serve the double purpose of bringing the portraits of celebrated characters be fore the public, and of illustrating the " progress and condition" of British art at different times. Such a result cannot but be satisfactory and agree able to all who may participate in it, and the sub sequent proposal is also very good—" My idea would, therefore, be to admit either portraits of eminent men, though by inferior or unknown artists, or portraits of eminent artists, though of obscure or unknown individuals." If this proposal were observed there is no doubt that the purpose would be carried out; and, as Lord DERBY says, there are many such portraits scattered about the country in pri vate families whose owners would willingly spare them for a short time for such an object, although they would not part with them. These would be valuable auxiliaries to the more numerous col lections that exist in great towns, and in their way quite as useful and important. The " strict main tenance of the chrmological series" is a point to which the noble lord attaches great importance, and justly, so far as it would be a matter of re gret to fail in this primary object of considera tion. Lord DERBY offers his collection at Knowsley to be placed at the disposal of the committee, for the purpose of illustration, and concludes by expressing a hope that these remarks of his will lead the Committee of Council to take up the thing seriously. In these days of exhibitions, surely nothing can be more in keeping than for an illus tration of time-honoured worthies to take place. The study and contemplation of such a scene must tend to cultivate the tastes, improve the knowledge, and inform the minds of the community respecting those who are worthy of recollection and regard, and whose memory should not be suffered to pass away amid all the shifting scenes of this changing world in which they once played conspicuous parts. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PARIS, JUNE 29. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, An Imperial decree has been issued to-day dis solving the municipal councils, and ordering the new elections to take place on the 22d July. The Marquis de Lavalette, Minister of the Inte rior, has published a circular, in which he says that as local questions only have to be decided at these elections he recommends the Prefects that the elec tors should be allowed to manifest their choice spontaneously, and should only be interfered with if imprudent persons attempt to alter the character of the elections by importing questions of a political nature. ITALY. NAPLES, JUNE 23. BIBURY CLUB MEETING. The following account of the defeat and capture of Giardullo is published by the Basola, dated from Campagna, 19th inst.— " Giardullo with eight companions and a woman are now in the hands of the Italian troops. This important capture was effected by Captain Frand, with the Carabiniers, in the following manner. " Yesterday (18th inst.) about 9 o'clock Captan Frand ordered the arrest of a covert supporter of the brigands and a relative of one of them. From this man a disclosure was obtained of the place where the brigands were at that moment to be found. Immediately upon getting this information Captain Frand, with the Carabineers under his command, and half a company of Bersaglieri started in pursuit, guided by the peasant who led them to the brigand's retreat. This was carefully surrounded by the troops, who then attacked the brigands with an impetusity which secured their total defeat. The place was called Romella, and belonged to Signor Roco Giambattista, who was arreted at Salerno upon a charge of supporting brigandage. " It is hardly possible to conceive the indifference displayed by Giardullo and his comrades. They appeared as if nothing was impending over their heads. On their arrival at Campagna the people flocked the troops and their prisoners in great num bers, bearing chesnut branches, and shouting ' Hurrah for the troops ! Hurrah for the captain ! Death to Giardullo !' It was a real public festival, and joy was depicted in the faces of all. Yesterday evening the town was illuminated, and the military band performed several pieces of music in honour of the occasion." The pleasant three or four days racing on the Hampshire Downs, known to the sporting world as " The Stockbridge week,"comes with quite a relief after the riot and revelry of the recent metropolitan gatherings. One can enjoy racing per et simple over the Danebury trial ground, free from the distractions which tend sadly to mar one's comfort in other places. The unwieldy throng at Epsom, the well dressed mob at Ascot, and the grosser features of the Hampton revel have passed away for this year, and we have room and verge enough to enjoy our national sport to perfection. The Bibury Club, formerly a celebrated institution, when noblemen and gentlemen were more fond of figuring in the pigskin than they are at present, commences the three days, and there was the usual influx of visitors, titled and un titled, to Andover, Stockbridge, Winchester, and South ampton, which latter town has lately been connected with Stockbridge by a branch of pie South-Western Railway. The racing was about of average merit, and the fields, considering the hard ground, were good. The fielders had the first turn with Jassy, in the 5 sovs. Sweepstakes, who, at 10 to 1, came out and defeated her horses very cleverly. Mr. IV. Bevil], on Harcourt, landed the odds with great care in the Bibury Stakes, one of the few races exclusivelyfor gentlemen jockeys now remaining in the Bibury programme. It was of course odds, too, on Young Monarquo, who in the Champagne had, unpenalised, to meet but three moderate opponents, and, despite a determined rush of Wells on Whalebone, the French horse won with great ease. A very fine and excit ing finish between Menace and Troublesome in the 50 says. Plate terminated in favour of the second favourite by a head and Gem of the Sea discomfited backers of the favourite in the 10 sovs. Sweepstakes. The Stockbridge Biennial saw the defeat of the Danebury crack, King Hal, by Robin Hood, a very fine Wild Dwell, belonging to Lord Portsmouth. The attendance was both select and numerous, and the weather everything that could be desired.

Cedric, in company with Jassy, St. Vincent, and Puebla, got away in advance and made the running, the favourite lying close in their track. They ran thus into the cords, where Cedric was headed by Jassy, who came on with a decided lead, which she retained to the end, and won very easily by a length and a half. St. Vincent, who headed Cedric a few strides front home, finished second by a head only ; May Queen was fourth, close 'up ; Puebla fifth, Lady Egidia sixth, and the favourite next. PORTUGAL.

Columbia, with Tippler at her quarters, got away toge ther, the pair leading Harcourt about a length for the first half mile, when Tippler went in front, and came on with the running to the " bushes," where Columbia again headed him, and led into the bottom, where the pair wore joined by Harcourt, who came up on the light, and, taking a clear lead halfway in the rails, won easily by three lengths. Columbia, who ran past the pulling-up Tippler, saved his stake by the shortest of heads.

After a couple of failures Loaf Sugar, on the right, came on with a clear lead of Stockbridge, the pair being followed into the dip by Whalebone and the favourite. The first named then gave way, and the lead was at once taken by Young Monarque, waited upon by Stockbridge, and Lord Portsmouth's colt to 'the enclosure, when the last named -came out : and, heading Stockbridge at the Stand, he made -his effort to reach the leader, in which he succeeded, and gave a momentary interest to the finish; but the Frenchman, gamely answering when called up, won cleverly by three parts of a length ; Stockbridge finished an indifferent third.

They got away upon equal terms, but after running a few strides Menace, on the near side, obtained a slight lead of the favourite, on his left, the pair being followed by Sweet Anne, Usher, and the Petra's dam colt to the rails, when Usher drew up, and, as they reached the enclosure, he joined the Marquis of Hastings's filly.

The Bill upon electoral reform introduced by the new Ministry re-establishes the system of elections by provinces, as settled by the law of 28th July, 1837. It also introduces a combination of precau tions, requisitions, and guarantees to render any tampering with the lists or votes impossible. The rural districts and small towns will have their own electoral autonomy, and may nominate one or more deputies, separately and independently from the rest of the province. The electoral qualification is reduced to the payment of 200 reals in taxes an nually, thi s being half the amount fixed by the Constitution of 1837 and half that required by the present law. The sections and districts are placed under fixed regulations, independent of the will of the Government. The proportion of deputies to the population of the country is re-arranged, to harmonise with the extension of the suffrage. One deputy will now re present every 45,000 inhabitants, instead of there being, as formerly, one for every 35,000, which, under the new law, would produce too numerous a Congress. - - extra. T.Y.C.

As they descended into the bottom Robin Hood was seen gradually mending his position, and came on in attendance upon the leaders to halfway in the rails, where Doralice colt was beaten, and his place was at once taken by Langham, who followed the favourite to the centre of the stand, when Wells brought up Robin Hood, who, in the succeeding three or foul strides, headed the pair, and won an excellent race with the greatest ease by three lengths.

Half a mile from home Revival was beaten, and shortly afterwards Strong Beer gave way, whereupon Brown Bread, with Alice, took up the running to the turn into the straight, where the front lot took close order, and ran in a cluster to tho distance, where Alice, La Toucques, and Brandy Wine were beaten, and the issue appeared to be confined to Brown Bread, Caller Ou, and Le Marechal. At the half distance the old mare headed Brown Bread, and amidst the most vociferous shouting ever heard her victory was not only antici pated but declared by the public, but she died away to nothing a few strides from home, and Brown Bread, ridden admirably by Carroll, caught her on the post, and won cleverly by a neck, a fine race home for the third place end ing in favour of Macbeth, who was three lengths behind the -old mare. Le Marechal, who looked as well as anything at the distance, broke down, and running gamely home on three legs, finished fourth.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.) NEW YORK, June 15. Mr. John Mitchell, one of the editors of the New York Daily News, and recently of one of the Rich mond papers, was arrested on the 14th, and sent to Fortress Monroe. The public were first informed of the fact by two large placards in front of the News office, on which was printed the announce ment that John Mitchell had been arrested by mili tary power and carried off. Naturally, among his friends, this summary proceeding caused consider able surprise, and more alarm. Neither surprise nor alarm were, however, of the least avail. Mr. Mitchell's career was suddenly ended. The facts connected with the arrest are as fol lows : "It had been determined a week before by the Wash ington authorities ',hat Mr. Mitchel's arrest should be speedily made, and his journalistic opportunities suspended for the present. For reasons entirely satisfactory the mat ter was deferred until the 14th, when Gen. Dix detailed Lieut. W. Morris, of the 20th New York Battery, and de tectives Elder and Kelso as the capturing party. Taking a carriage they rode to the office of the News. They were shown to the office of the proprietor, Mr. B. Wood, to whom they simply remarked that they desired to see Mr. Mitchell. This being a matter of frequent occurrence ex cited no surprise or apprehension in Mr. Wood's mind, and he conducted them to the adjoining office, in which sat the object of their visit busily engaged in writing. Touching him on the shoulder, one of the officers announced his errand, when Mr. Mitchell desired him to remove his hand, and Lieut. Morris, interfering, said, ' Take your hand off, officer. Mr. Mitchell will go without any difficulty.' En tering the office of Mr. Wood, Mr. Mitchell said, am arrested.' To which Mr. Wood replied that he deemed it an outrage, and that he extremely regretted it. Without further words, and without further delay, Mr. Mitchell went to the door, entered the carriage with the party, and was driven to head-quarters. He was there informed of the nature of the order received by Gen. Dix, which was peremptory and entirely without discretionary power, and was then taken quietly to the small boat of the general's private steamer, the Burden, which lay with steam up in the North River, waiting for her solitary pas senger. Information of every kind was denied the press by the officers on duty at head-quarters. Whether they know any more about it than the press is a matter of ques tion, but their orders are precise and they cannot break them. The more intimate political friends of Mr. Mitchell had been in readiness for this phase in his chequered career, and it was said that a habeas had been obtained for the emergency, but, unfortunately for him, long before hie friends knew of his apprehension,he was gone. It was be lieved by many that a letter written by Mr. Mitchell in the New 4 was the immediate cause of his arrest. The letter closed thus :—" I ask leave of nobody to come to this city, and to write in the News. Further, Ido not conceive my self to be here and going at large by virtue of the am nesty' that some papers have mentioned. Neither have I asked any person, and I trust the President will not press a pardon on me until I have been first convicted of some thing. I should be obliged, with thanks for his politeness, to decline it. He is very kind, but I do not use the article." It was believed that Mr. Mitchell was held to answer for giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the 'United States, especially in regard to the treatment of Federal prisoners. A DANGEROUS NAP.—On the 24th inst. John Boaler, a platelayer, on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, was taken before Mr. J. V. Machin, at Worksop, charged by Mr. James Wright, superintendent of police to the company, with having neglected to exhibit certain flags or signals on the railway on the 20th inst., thereby endangering the lives of passen gers, &c. Joseph Taylor, an inspector of the line, proved that prisoner was sent to signal au approaching trip train to Manchester on the day in question, the rails at the time being undergoing repairs ; it was the duty of prisoner to show the danger flag, and to be at a considerable distance from where the line was being repaired. William Thorn ton, the driver of the excursion train, deposed to seeing prisoner lying down on the rails, apparently asleep. H e blow his whistle for a number of yards, and did not suc ceed in rousing him until within a very short distance of where he lay. The signal was then given and the engine reversed, and a most serious accident prevented. The managers felt it their duty to bring the case before a magis trate for the satisfaction acid safety of the public. Prisoner was Aned in the mitigated penalty of 80s. and coots. f4tr-;FD-- Cart s - eirmlat HER MAJESTY. -- s- - WINDSOR CASTLE, June 28. The Queen, with their Royal Highnesses Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice, went this morning to Frogmore. Their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena and Princess Louise, left Buckingham Palace at a quar ter before eleven o'clock, and honoured Mr. Thorny croft with a visit at his studio ; and also visited the Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington. Their royal highnesses afterwards returned to Windso r Castle. Lady Caroline Barrington, the Hon. Flora Mac donald, and Colonel the Hon. D. de Ros were in attendance. Her Majesty received addresses of congratulation to-day, at Windsor Castle, on the birth of the infant prince. The Right llon. Sir George Grey arrived at the Castle at half-past one o'clock, and had an audi ence of the Queen. Viscount Sydney had also an audience of he Majesty. Her Majesty, accompanied by their Roy& Highnesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Frill cess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold entered the Whit Drawing-room at three o'clock. The Queen was attenced by the Duchess of Wel lington, Mistress of the Robes ; the Duchess o Roxburghe, Lady in Waiting ; Lady Caroline Bar rington, Lady Superintendent ; Lady Augusta Stanley, Viscount Sydney, Lord Chamberlain ; the Marquis of Ailesbury, Master of the Horse ; Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord in Waiting ; Lieutenant - Colonel Cavendish, Groom in Waiting ; Lord Charles Fitzroy, Colonel the Hon.

Her Majesty having returned a gracious answer, the Lord Mayor and the mover and seconder of the address were presented to her Majesty by Sir Geo. Grey, and had the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. The deputation then retired. The deputation from the Court of Lieutenancy was next introduced with the same formalities, and presented their address. _ _ Mr. Charles Reed (mover of the address) and Mr. Thomas Parker (seconder) had the honour of kissing het Majesty's hand. The deputation then retired. The deputation from the city of Edinburgh Wits then introduced. Her Majesty received the address, and returned a gracious answer. • The Lord Provost and the mover and seconder of the address having been presented by Sir Geo.

Luncheon was served for the deputations in the dining-room, and shortly after the various members who had attended returned to London. FROM " THE OWL." We quote the following paragraphs from our contemporary : We are happy to say that the British Government are greatly reassured as to the friendly feelings and amicable intentions of the American Administration. The outpour ings of a virulent press, and the private correspondence of men whose extreme views overbalanced their judgment, gave an exaggerated colouring to some of the earlier com munications of President Johnson's Cabinet, but we hope and believe that there is a deep-set determination not to permit any temporary differences of opinion to cause any real estrangement between the two countries. Meanwhile the internal difficulties of the Federal Government are, we regrot to state, rather on the increase. Martial law still prevails at Washington, where cavalry patrol the main thoroughfares with drawn swords, and nobody can walk the streets without seeing numerous arrests. By the last advices from Madrid we learn that the recog nition of the kingdom of Italy by the Queen of Spain is not likely to take place as soon as had been anticipated. From positive certainty, which characterised the prema ture announcement of this event, it has faded away into the land of promise. The Duke and Duchess do Montpensier, who, with their family, are about; to arrive in England, have taken Marble Hill, T wickenham, the residence of General and Lady Alice Peel, for a term of four months. The immediate object of their royal highnesses is to be in this country at the period of the accouchement of the Comtesse de Paris. We have to announce that a marriage is arranged be tween the Hon. Georgina Colville, sister of Lord Colville, and Mr. Joseph Ridgway, of Fairlawn, near Sevenoaks. Tho day now named for the production of "L'Africaine" at the Royal Italian Opera is the 20th of July. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WORMWOOD SCRUBS REVIEW.—On Saturday, while the household troops were being reviewed at Wormwood Scrubs, two boys got in the way of a large body of cavalry in full charge, and before they could get off the ground or the troopers could pull up they were knocked down and ridden over. One of them died shortly afterwards, and the other is in a precarious condition. Special attention was paid to the youths by order of his Royal Bigl=oB the Prince of Wales. FRANCE. BOURSE, June 28.—1 t would be difficult to depict the aspect of the various markets to-day. The principal Securities have been almost totally ne glected, quotations have receded in almost every instance, and speculators would seem to act under the apprehension of some financial disaster. Credit Mobilier Shares, which yesterday suffered a so Me what heavy fall during the latter hours of business, have been done at a further reduction of 6fr. 25c. The sudden and remarkable relapse of Mexican Stock would lead to the conclusion that discouraging intelligence had been received from that country— the Old - Loan being now quoted at 441, and the New at 341 fr. 25c. (end July). French 'Three per Cents. and Italian Fives have also slightly lost on yesterday's rates—the former being now at 66fr. 30c., and the latter at 661 r. 55c.

A HORSEWHIPPING CASE.-011 Tuesday, at th e Worcestershire Quarter Sessions, held at Worcester before Earl Dudley (chairman), and a numerous bench O f magistrates, a case came on for hearing which has for sail time past created considerable stir in the neighbourllo6; of Redditch and Birmingham, where the parties interestea reside, and are well known. At the preceding Quarter Sessions the grand jury found a true bill against Mr. Samue l Thomas, needle manufacturer, of Redditch, for an assau lt upon Mr. Henry Howell, accountant, of Birmingham, °- yesterday the trial took place. Mr. Motteram and 31 , r. . Benson of the Oxford Circuit appeared for the complain ant ' Mr. Howell and Mr. Serjeant Ballantine (specially retaine d ) and Mr. Richards for the defendant. The facts are b ri° ' , and displayed a lack of morality on both sides.
