At last the full confirmation has been received of the alarming rumours respecting the fate of MAXI MILIAN in Mexico. The Atlantic Cable brings us the official intelligence from New York, July 3d ; and in the House of Commons last evening the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that in consequence of the receipt of official infor mation of the execution of the EMPEROR, her MAJESTY would be unable to attend the review in Hyde Park this day, and that it would accordingly be postponed for a short time. The news has produced a deep and painful impres sion in all directions. The feeling of the House has been plainly manifested by the repeated inquii ies addressed to the Ministers, and the post ponement of the festivities of the day, though occasioning some disappointment, will only express the popular :sentiment. England, indeed, does not feel directly implicated in the troubles which have had so sad an ending as France and America both in some degree must do, but she has watched the career of the unfortunate Prince with deep interest, and since his cause has become hopeless his courage and resolution have evoked her warmest sympathies. The sad aflliction which had already befallen his young Em press had awakened a general feeling of regret, more especially among those who remember her when, as the Princess CHARLOTTE, in licr fair and happy girlhood, she was a frequent visitor at our own Court. Everywhere there will be an una nimous feeling of sorrow and of indignation ; sorrow at the abrupt and tragical termination to a car( yet which might have been as prosperous as brilliarrt, and indignation at the cowardly and cruel murder of a royal prisoner of war. The Mexicans can plead. 'no excuse for their dastardly conduct. Their crime is also a blunder, for they have by it not only excited a strong feeling against them in Eng land, France, and Germany, but they have alien aced the sympathies of their most powerful allies, the people of the United States. They have left tl tem selves without a friend, as well as put theme elves beyond the pale of civilised Governments. They may answer that such acts have been common enough in Mexico. for more than half a century ; but this argument only proves that JUAREZ is ur fit to be a ruler, and that the old state of violence and lawlessness is to be maintained. Already has the condition of Mexico occasioned the interventiost of the European Powers, and it is likely enough that -the murder of the EMPEROR may produce a similar re sult. It can hardly fail, at all events, to elicit so loud and unanimous an outcry as to shake a ranch firmer seat than that of the new ruler of Mexico. MAXIMILIAN himself could have had little hope of a fortunate issue when he decided to abide by his few remaining adherents. The chances of suc cess banished with the last of the French troops, and, although there would be little glory or satis faction in occupying a throne propped up by foreign bayonets, yet there might have been a possibility of his eventually being accepted by the people. Some surprise has been latterly expressed, in review ing his history, that MAXIMILIAN should have been willing to abandon his safe and honourable position at the Austrian Court for the dangerous and uncer , tain dignities of Maim But he was an ambitious and able man ; he possessed undoubtedly the capa cities of a wise and liberal ruler, and was generally popular among those with whom he had mingled. The career opened before him in the New World no doubt attracted him as much by the scope which it offered for his powers and energies as it allured him by its brilliancy, and there is no doubt that he and his consort exerted themselves to the utmost to establish a firm but liberal and tolerant administration. In another country their efforts might have been suc cessful, but MAXIMILIAN had not sufficiently taken into account the chronic turbulence of Mexico. It may be questioned whether any man could reduce the people to subjection, could fuse the parties into one, could crush his rivals and main tain law and order, so long as he only repre sented one of the dominant factions. The sad progress of the story we are all familiar with. The Americans resented the presence of foreign troops in their vicinity and the mainten ance of a monarchical form of government. They insisted upon the withdrawal of the French troops. Prudence would have dictated that MAXIMILIAN should leave the country with them, since JuasEz and his party were every day gaining strength. But there was still a large body of Mexicans who had consistently supported him, and who felt themselves hopelessly compromised with the Republican party, from whom they could expect nothing but pitiless slaughter. They implored MAXIMILIAN to make a last effort for them and for himself, and he yielded to their entreaties, though he must have known he was playing a desperate game. The last act of the tragedy was expedited by one of those dastardly acts of treachery which have so often stained similar records. A bribe induced one of the EMPEROR'S trusted associates to betray the city, and Maxtut ' LIAN himself and his associates fell into the hands of the Republicans on the 19th of June. They ; were executed, and the mourning relations of the Austrian Priuce have at least the satisfaction of knowing that he has sacrificed his life to his honour. It is better for the house of Harsnusa to lament the loss of one of its most promising members than to receive him as a deserter from the post of duty. It was better for MAXIMILIAN to fall beneath the bullets of the savage soldiery than to listen in the security of a European palace to details of the slaughter of the followers he had abandoned. His name adds another to the list of those princes whose life in prosperity and ease may never attain distinction, but who when placed in situations of danger and despair at once rise to an elevation of character which commands the admiration, while it awakens the sympathies of their fellows. We are not surprised that Mr. DISRAELI Fhould have endeavoured to make some change so as to expedite the progress of the Reform Bill through the House of Commons, and although his suggestion was not agreed to as to taking the revision of the schedules at once and leaving the consideration of the amendments stiil in the notice-book until a later period, this might not have been very de sirable in all respects, but it is fortunate that the proposition was made, because it evidently produced some satisfactory re sults, and brought hon. members to their senses concerning the character of their amendments. Mr. BRIGHT, who evidently desires that the ques tion of Reform should be settled as soon as possible, said that he agreed with the Chancellor of the Exchequer ss to the advisability of adopting some scheme of this sort that be suggested. Hon. members might, he observed, go on for weeks in this desultory fashion, and put in clause after clause, so that much time would be lost. There was a good deal of truth in what Mr. DISRAELI said as to the time required by the other House to dis cuss the merits of the bill, and no one can deny the time is running short ; besides, the sense en tertained of the period of the Session arrived at will prevent some from giving that due consideration which the question demands and deserves. There seems, however, good reason to hope that the plan of Mr. DISRAELI will not fail in producing its effect, although it may not be carried out in its original style. It is true that a great many dissen tients appeared, but their words were more formid able than their acts. Mr. LOWE was perhaps the most formidabl e , an d h e d ec l are d th a t h e would not relinquish hi s proposal for cumulative voting, which, he thought, was the last chance of mitigating the evils of the measure. At a subsequent period of the evening the right hon. gentleman brought on Lis proposal for the cumulative vote, but the matter was not settled, as progress was reported.' It was not very well received by the committee, for great confusion prevailed after Mr. LowE's speech was concluded. The right hon. gentleman sp o k e very fairly on the subject, and urged the committee not to adopt the proposal, but to give it a fair and candid consideration. Mr. LIDDELL proposed that progress should be reported, in order that due time might be given to the matter, and that it might be properly discussed. In so doing he made a little diversion by declaring that the hon. member for Birmingham exhibited extraordinary Toryism in some respects, and had given an in stance of it in the question now before the House. Although the proposal of the lion. member was rejected, the llouse soon after agreed to it, and 'the Chancellor of the Exchequer wisely coming to the conclusion that it would be inexpedient to pro ceed when the tone of feeling exhibited was so adverse to careful consideration, It will be satin. tuctory if the question is settled one way or the other to-day, because it stands in the way of the measure; but we should think Mr. LOWE'S chance of success was doubtful, unless he succeeds in per suading Mr. GLADSTONE to come to his support, that right hon. gentleman having expressed a wish to have the question argued. No doubt it surprised the Committee a good deal to find that the time had come for the discussion of the cumulative vote last night, but the progress that was made was really surprising, and no doubt it was, in a great measure, due to the evident determination of the Government to get on as fast as possible. Thus Mr. HIBBERT'S amendment was carried, which prohibited the pay ment of travelling expenses with a few desirable exceptions. The use of voting papers for the Uni versity of London was agreed to, and two other propositions were lost. These were Sir R. VERNEY'S concerning officers of the Revenue and their disa bility to vote, and Sir T. LLOYD'S clause to prevent the meeting of candidate committees at hotels and public-houses. This was discussed for two hours, a loss of time which formed the exception to the speed exhibited during the rest of the even ing's debates and decisions. It was finally rejected by ninety-nine, and, as it would no doubt have produced considerable confusion if carried into effect, the result is not to be regretted ; but it might have been better to have disposed of it more summarily. It is to be hoped that the same expedition will be used by the committee to-day as was done, on the whole, yesterday ; and, if so, there will be nothing to complain of, but to effect this desirable end it will be necessary for some sacrifices to be made. So long as a subject of this kind is before the House it will be impossible that divers opinions should not prevail, and that many should not be desirous of speaking; but the importance of coming to a settle ment should prevail with those who have the inte rests of the cause at heart. There will be some exceptions of course, but we trust that the majority of the Committee will show themselves true friends to Reform, and so arrange matters that no unnecessary time be wasted in frivolous discussion and idle recrimination. A little reflection must show the significance of the situation, and prove the importance of putting aside all discussions that are not imperatively called for. In some respects it may be considered that the com mittee made a start yesterday in the right direction, and we hope that the advantage thus gained will be followed up. mej . U1..1.1t CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. It is now, I fear, only to " hope against hope" to entertain a doubt of the barbarous execution of the Emperor Maximilian, iu defiance of the laws of nations and contrary to the beneficent spirit of the times. The French Government has treated the news as a dark and heinous accomplished fact, and the announced review as well as fetes to the Sultan and other public rejoicings have been post poned. The Court of Dresden has ordered mourn ing for three weeks. The Emperor of Austria, who was at Munich when the telegraphic despatch ar rived there, immediately left by special train for Vienna on learning the death of his brother. Even on Monday credence was given to the news in Paris, and this was the reason of the absence of the Count and Countess de Flaudre from the great ceremony of that day. The Memorial Diplomatique has the following upon the subject :—" Private information which we received at the moment of going to press leaves us no doubt of the authenticity of the news of the execution of the Emperor Maximilian. It is . un fortunately true that two official de':ipatches have been received at Vienna anticuncing that the Etn peror Maximilian was shot on the 19th of June by order of the Juarist Government. This news will cause painful emotion in Europe, where courage and valour are appreciated. The death of the Emperor Maximilian will tarnish his enemies with an indelible spot. The laws of war, particularly towards those who fall victims to the most odious treason, no longer rigour nug a h m e o u n t g the will denounce the world ci vilised nations, and one allow unit u united voice e h cowardly act which has t erm i nated the drama of Queretaro. We shall sh or tl y receive details of this s thr melancholy event, which we are sure will assign to the Emperor Maximilian his real place in history. For the moment, oppressed with an emotion which every one will share, we shall only say that he died heroically." The bulletin of the Moniteur of this day says : "Telegraphic despatches from Vera Cruz announce that contrary to the hopes inspired by the preceding accounts, the Emperor Maximilian, placed upon his trial by the Liberals, and condemned to death, was shot on the 19th of June at Queretaro. More authentic and explicit news is expected with anxiety, and there is still the hope that this news will be contradicted, the report of which has excited in Europe as well as in France such a melancholy and profound itnpression." The King Don Luis, of Portugal, accompanied by the Duke de Coimbra his brother, has loft Lisbon for Geneva, to meet the Queen. His Majesty, who travels privately, is expected shortly at Bordeaux, where the Viscount de Paiva, Minister Plenipoten tiary and Envoy Extraordinary for Portugal at the Court of France, has repaired with the members of the Legation to await his Majesty's arrival. A solemn Te Deum was chaunted on the 19th of June, at Trebizond, in the Greek Church, Sa panda, in thanksgiving for the escape of the Emperor Alexander from the attempt of the assassin on the Gth of June, in the presence of the autho rities, Consular agents, and a numerous public. A letter from Athens, dated June 27, says : " The city is in great agitation, in consequence of an event of importance and great local interest. The brigand Kitzos has just been killed in an en gagement against the peasantry of the environs of Napolia, supported by a few. soldiers, lie had made up his mind to quit Attica and to unite his forces with the other bands who have so long desolated the Peleponnessus. Patras was in great alarm from the fear of an attack from the malefactors, but two of the Chiefs fell in the combat, and among others this Kitzos, who for four years has held Athena as it were in a state of blockade. The Ministry joins in the congratula tions of the people at this event, which will contri bute very much to the general tranquillity. The Sultan arrived at the Exhibition this after noon at three o'clock. The news of his arrival was rapidly circulated, and there was a general rush from all parts to obtain a sight of him. This is the Sultan's second visit to the Exhibition. The spectacle is one which does not satiate but in creases curiosity, and the Sultan proved the interest ho takes in it by remaining a considerable time, and bestowing minute attention upon the wonders he surveyed. The appetite for the dusty, b y turns and then eu nothing Exhi bition undoubtedly "grows with what it feeds rrh everything whi d y , raining, and accompanied occasi,nally with a sickly e weather l to-day Stormy, and fleeting gleam of very hot sunshine. All of us in Paris have seen better days. The Moniceur of this evening states that M. Fer rari, Minister of Finance of Italy, has resigned, and thliiis.ts i u li e s c r e e s s su ig r n h a s ti s o n n u l t ia b s ee b u ee a n pp a o cc in ep te t d. ol by the King. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the i lii gl i unci l. Tuileries, at w hi ch the Emperor presided. The Em press was evening ei wa presentat o n the te C r o announces officially that the Emperor has received the letters by which the Queen of England puts an end to the functions which Lord Cowley fulfilled as English Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary at Paris. Lord Lyons succeeds Lord Cowley as English Ambas sador. LA TEST lITELLIGENCE. (REUTERS' TELEGRAMS.) VDIA. BOIBAT, June 9, via Trieste. The shareholders of the Bank of Bombay have expressed an opinion ii favour of amalgamation by 137 votes against 134 who prefer reconstruction. The amalgamation sch,me will be submitted to the Bank of Bengal shareiolders on June 14, and an other meeting of the Bombay Bank shareholders will be held August to decide definitively for amalgamation or reconstruction. The new light-house It Ccnery was inaugurated June 1. Mr. W. IL Havelockhas been appointed acting commissioner for Scind(, until Colonel Merewether can take up the appointment. The double line of telegraph through Persia is completed, and is now in good working order. Colonel Merewether has returned to Masowah, whence he forwarded al ultimatum to the Emperor Theodorus, demanding the release of the Abyssinian captives. Internal disensions are said to have de prived the Emperor of all but a small portion of his territory. The British Consul A Zanzibar, up to April 28, still expressed hopes of Dr. Livingstone's safety. The state of public health in Bombay is very satisfactory. It is reported that the Government of India con template raising a second loan of 1 millions in Eng land instead of India. A court-martial has sentenced Captain Conning ham, of the 88th, to be cashiered, to undergo five years' penal servitude, and to make good the de ficiencies of the regimental cash-chest. Captain Caldecott, 103 d Regiment, hail been killed by a Tiger whilst shooting. FRANCE. PARIS, July 5. The llloniteur of to-day says : •—" The assassina tion of the Emperor Maximilian will arouse a feeling of universal horror. This act of infamy ordered by Juarez stamps pu the heads of those who call themselves the repretntatives of the Mexican Republic an ineffaceable stigma. The reprobation of all civilised nations will be the first punishment of a Government which bas at its head such a ruler." The Sultan, on hearing of the tragic end of Maximilian, begged the Emperor to countermand the fetes. The Emperor will go into mourning for thirty days.

The following is the decision in the case of an inquiry into the outbreak of scurvy on board the Travancore : "After due consideration of the evidence given, in sight of the report of the medical officer on the provisions, &c., and laving heard the defence of th e master, the Court is opinion that the outbreak of . scurvy on board the Travancore has been chiefly produced by the l ongcontinuance of the consump tion of salt provision; the want of anti-scorbutics whilst at Aden, a n d the very inferior quality of the lime juice. The Cola is also of opinion that the master is greatly to blame in not having issued to his suffering crew the preserved potatoes and bottled fruits which he brought to Callao, and which ho was evidenty unwilling to acknowledge having on board. ?he state of the official and ship's log is also extremely unsatisfactory, and shows negligence ant great want of care. The owners are consequenly adjudged to pay the hos pital expenses of the sick seamen, in accordance with the first paragraph of article 288 of the Mer chant Shipping Act (1854), as well as the fees for the medical surver, and the cost of the proceed ings of this court —say one gold ounce." MADAME TUSSAUDL—Some most beautiful and magnificent Court Dresam, the designs and fashions being copied from the Paris Ixhibitiou, have been lately added to Madame Tussaud'n Ethibition, in Baker-street. There is likewise to be seen a tomplete series of models, life-size, of the Kin g s and Queers of England, in the splendid cos tumes of the times, frog William the Conqueror to that of her present most gra" , 4nis Majesty Queen Victoria. A model of the Sultan of rurkey is also now added. POSTPONEMENT OF 711 E REVIEW IN HYDE-PARK. Notwithstanding that last night, immediately after the announcement by Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli of the intended postponement of the re view this day, placards were sent to all the theatres, distributed amongst the public-houses, pasted up:at all the most prominent points in the public tho roughfares and at all the police stations, this morning countless numbers of the lower orders of the p o pulation—costermongers, roughs, and thieves poured in a continuous stream towards the Park, and great was their dismay and disgust when they came to the placard at the various entrances announcing the postpone ment. No disturbance ensued beyond the usual petty depredations incident to au ordiwiry mob. It appears that detachments of troops from dif ferent regiments had actually arrived yesterday afternoon, hut that at a little before 4 o'clock, in anticipation of what would be the probable issue, the War Office authorities telegraphed to the dif ferent military stations that no troops were to be sent until further ()Hers. HAY3L IRKET THEATRE. Mr. Buckstone, whose popularity deservedly in creases every year, took his annual benefit last night, and revived George Colman the younger's little known comedy, " Who Wants a Guinea ?" This piece was first produced at Covent Garden Theatre, April 18, 1805, with a very strong caste, which in cluded Lewis, Simmons, Munden, Emery, Fawcett, two Kembles, Mrs. Gibbs, and Mrs. Mhttocks. The comedy is stagey and old-fashioned in construction, the characters are wooden, and Solomon Gundy— originally represented by Fawcett, but now per formed by Mr.Buckstonevvith rich, unctuous humour —is only a Mrs. Malaprop in knee breeches. It will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night, but no devotion to the 'antiquarian drama can give it a long existence. Tho " Wild Goose" is a treasure compared with it. In the course of the evening Mr. Buckstone came in front of the curtain, and spoke as follows : "Ladies and Gentlemen—l would have avoided troubling you with an address this evening, as it is not the last night of our season, but having been persuaded that a few,words from me on the occasion of my benefit were expected, and that their omission would cause some disappointment, in deed some falling off in the receipts —of course you under stand that to mean the money taken at the doors—l have listened to the voice of the charmer, and proceed to say something, or nothing, as you may please to interpret the matter of my address. Last year, ladies and gentlemen, at the close of the season, I visited with my popular company the good city of Manchester, where at the Theatre Royal there we appeared for more than six weeks, with a success that, to say the least of it, was truly wonderful; and al though there was a groat counter attraction at the Free Trade Hall, presided over by Mr. John Bright, M.P., with processions by day and torch light processions by night, in the cause of reform, the Haymarket company held its own, and represented the comedies so often played here with greater success than it had ever known during its many previous visits to that city. (Loud applause.) You may now naturally inquire why we do not repeat the visit this autumn. To this question I could give several reasons why wo do not, but shall simply reply that we all feel inclined to stay at home; therefore I have made np my mind to prolong the season until July in next year, when the theatre must be closed for several weeks for repairs and decora tions. Of course, some good-natured creature will say, "not before it is wanted." In addition to this reason I think I have sufficient novelty in store to continue open to the period I have named. (Applause.) On Monday next Miss Amy Sedgwick will return for a limited period, and appear in a new play; early in September Mrs. Scott-Siddons will resume her performances for a few weeks, and pro bably produce ' Romeo and Juliet.' In October, Mr. Sothern will return from Paris--(loud cheers)—where I hope my Lord Dundreary's success will be as great as when he first stammered and tried to sneeze in this theatre, and that we shall again see his lordship on his return to this house, which I may call his home. During his next engagement several novelties will be forthcoming, and I may announce a drama by Mr. Falconer, and a comedy by Dr. Westland Marston. Since 1 last bad the honour of addressing you, we have given you many new pieces; among thos e th a t were most successful I may name' A Lesson for Life,' and A Wild Goose,' which play, though objected to by some of the well-wishers to the theatre, was performed for 51 nights, and with great applause. I confess it was somewhat melodramatic in its construction —yet it was not so much out of place here as some people were pleased to think, because, by the records of the Hay market Theatre, I find that oven in its high and palmy' state similar performances were frequently given. To prove this, I need only name Raymond and Agues; or The Bleeding Nun of Lindenberg' and The Tale of Mys tery,' while Obi; or, Three-fingered Jack,' was first pro duced on the old boards of the old Haymarket, Mr. Chas. Kemble originally sustaining the character of Three fingered Jack. It has become the fashion of certain dra matic writers and others to call out for more theatres— possibly in the hope that certain rejected plays lying on hand may at last be accepted by new and inexperienced managers. It is well known, and felt by those interested, that for many competitive causes some of the theatres now in existence, to use a homely saying, can scarcely make both ends meet, and, therefore, to parody honest Launcelot Gobbo's speech to Jessica when she was made a Christian, I may say, ' Truly wo were managers enow, e'en as many as could well live ono by another. This making of managers will lower the receipts, for if we all grow to be managers wo shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals for want of money.' (Laughter and cheers.) It has also been proposed that we should not commence our principal piece until half-past eight or nine o'clock, as fashionable folk dine so late. Now, in these railway days many persons come from the surrounding suburbs who are anxious to be in time to return home by the trains, and consequently that portion of our public would never be able to see the whole of the principal piece. The commencing a performance so late, and dining so late, reminds me of a story I heard when in America concerning a young Yankee who left his down -east vil lage to visit:Washington. On his return ho astonished his neighbours by telling them how very late people dined there, as at home twelve or one o'clock was the regular hour. 'What time,' he was asked, 'do the storekeepers dine at 'Washington ?'—' N ot until two, sometimes three.' 'y ! how late !' was the remark. And the well-to-do folk ?'—' Oh, they don't eine till four or five.' My ! how late !" And the members of Congress ?'—' Wall, I guess they don't dine till six !"And the senators ?'—' Oh, not till eight or nine." My ! how late !" And the President what time does he dine ?'—' Oh, ho don't dine till next day.' (Laughter.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, if wo were not to commence our principal piece until the late hour proposed, that portion of our performance would not bo over till next day—besides, it is very well known that when people wish to come to the theatre they regulate their dinner hour accordingly. (Applause) I am now, ladies and gentlemen, in the 15th year of my lesseeship of this theatre, and by the end of the present season, which I contemplate will not occur until the beginning of next July, I shall have completed 16 years of management, and 'I hope you will not be sorry to hear that life, health, and success Permitting, I shall remain in my present position some few years, longer. (Enthusiastic applause.) The company, ladies and gentlemen, will continue nearly the same as it has been for many seasons, simply because I know that I cannot improve it. The changes that been made are confined mostly to the ladies, but you have will not hear this with sorrow when I toll you these changes have been caused through matrimonial reasons—for the Haymarket Theatre is celebrated as a great place for its young ladies to be married from. Now, there's an induce ment for some of you young ladies present to enter imme diately into an engagement with me. (Loud laughter.) And now, ladies and gentlemen, in name of myself and the com pany, I thank you heartily for your many years of patron age, and in the language of the showman at the fair, say, Mr. Buckstone thanks you for your attendance to-night, and begs to inform you that we shall begin again to-mor row evening.' " The delivery of this address, it is almost needless to say, Was loudly applauded by a crowded and friendly audience, and Mr. Buckstone, as usual, was smothered in bouquets. STATE OF TRADE. BRADFORD, July 4.—Th ere i s l ess inquiry for wool to-day. The demand falls decidedly short of what it was last Thursday, and even during the early part of the present week. There is a scanty demand, chiefly for light-haired sorts. Operations are exceedingly partial, and as prices in the country are rather easier, consumers act with great caution. The buyers in the country are fewer than they were. Many spinners who usually supply themselves with stocks from the growers have already done so, at rates higher than those current in this market, and many staplers consequently find it so difficult to deal with growers that they deem it best to refrain from operations, and remain at home. Though in worsted yarns there are still some unexpired c9ntracts in the hands of some spin ners, new orders aze few and small. There is more inquiry for genapps and some lustre spinnings. The production of goods at home is limited, and the consumption of yarns decreases. Manufac turers operate only very sparingly. Prices are un changed. The piece -market is flat. The conti nental houses are increasingly cautious in placing orders. Prices do not improve. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY: Mr. Corry presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs that he will insert the enclosed, as he is anxious that his reply to Mr. Seeley's ques tion respecting the Board of Admiralty should be correctly reported. Friday July 5. "My eiperienco at the Admiralty as First Lord has been very short, but I have as yet had no occasion to be sensible of any inconvenience resulting from the present constitution of the Board. The subject of tho honourable member's question is one which, if dealt with at all, ought to be approached with great caution, and not without grave and mature consideration, and .1 have not at present any intention of consulting my colleagues respecting it." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. EXTESSIVE FORGERIES OF POST-OFFICE ORDERS.— Samuel Dunstan, a young man who had been in the ser vice of Mr. Hoadley, grocer and Post-office receiving house keeper, Brighton, was placed at the bar charged with forging and uttering a number of post-office orders for £lO. The prisoner absconded from his employment on the 26th of Juno last, but nothing was missed until he re ceived a telegram from London, asking him to examine his blank-form books, when ho discovered that eleven forms had been torn out of the middle, and the orders referred to in the evidence corresponded with those so abstracted. The prisoner had filled up the forms for £lO each, and obtained payment of some of them from various money order offices in Brighton before ho left the town. The other orders ho made payable in Yorkshire, and it was in trying to obtain the money from . the York postmaster that the fraud was discovered. Information was at once sent to the General Post-office in London, and Smee, the officer, apprehended the prisoner on his arrival in London by the Great Northern Railway. The prisoner then told the officer that ho had received the money for the various orders, and that it was his intention to pro ceed to Harwich and embark from there for New York. Alfred John Moore said ho was an assistant to Mr. Aldridge, who kept a post-office et Brighton. Money orders were issued and paid there. The letter of advice produced arrived at their office on the 26th of June. It purported to have been issued at the York-place post-office at Brighton, and it authorised the payment of money order 503, for £lO, to A. Brown, from S. Smith. The money order produced was the one referred to in the advice, and it was presented to him for payment on the morning of the 27th of June, by the prisoner at the bar, who signed the receipt " Albert Brown," in his witness's presence. The £lO was paid in gold. William Gell, an assistant to Mr. Phillips, post-office receiver, Kemp Town, Brighton, said the letter of advice produced arrived at three, on the 26th or 27th of June. It authorised the payment of money order, 501, for £lO. It represented to have been issued by the York place officer, and it was paid to the prisoner to the best of his belief. He signed the receipt "Alfred Brown." George Cosstick, post-office receiver, Western-road, Brighton, gave similar evidence with respect to the pay ment of a post-office order, numbered 505, to A. Brown for £lO. He paid the prisoner the amount in gold. William Barrett kept a post office receiving house at Waterloo-street, Brighton. H e paid the prisoner the amount of a money order, No. 506, for £lO. The prisoner, after being cautioned, said he had no other answer to make to the charge, except that he was guilty. The witnesses were bound over, and he was fully com mitted for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A STREET O UTRAGE— S TRANGE C ONDUCT OP A CON STABLE.—Win Walls, a painter, of No. 45, Stanley-street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting two females, named Rebecca Chard and Lucy Kavanagh. Rebecca Chard said—l reside at May's-buildings, Down street, Piccadilly, and yesterday I was walking along Pic cadilly, having been to look for my son, when the prisoner struck me a violent blow on the nose without saying a word to me. My nose bled, and I said to the prisoner, " You have made my nose blood," and ho then struck me in the mouth. I spoke to a constable, but ho would not take the prisoner into custody, and the prisoner then turned round and deliberately struck another female. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Why did the constable not take the charge ? Complainant—He asked me if I would be sure to be at the court in the morning, and I said I would, and he then asked the other female if she would attend the court, and on her stating that she might not b© able, as she had to go to a rehearsal, ho would not take the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were you quite sober? Com p la inant —Certainly ; but I do not think the priso ner was quite sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt—There must be an inquiry into the po lice constable's conduct in the matter. Was the prisoner taken •by another constable for striking the other female? Complainant —Yes. The prisoner struck me on the eye without any provocation whatever. Mr. Tyrwhitt—llow do you get your living ? Complainant—l char at the Duke of Grafton's and other noblemen's houses. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls the other female who was struck in attendance ? Complainant—She is not. Police constable Middleton said—While passing along Piccadilly with the witness, I was told by the sergeant to go and see the cause of a number of persons collecting. I saw the complainant crying, and bleeding from the nose, and another female had also been struck. On the two fe males pointing out tho prisoner as having assaulted them, ho took him into custody. The prisoner said that the persons had been mobbing him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the other a poorish female ? Constable—Yes. She promised to be hero this morning. Prisoner—l was going along Piccadilly when I was mobbed, my hat knocked in, and 1 put up my hands to de fend myself. Complainant—There was no ono near him when ho first struck me. The crowd collected when his brutal conduct was observed. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt becomes the duty of a magistrate to be extremely sharp in these cases of unwarrantable assaults. There was no ground for the prisoner's act, except a low brutal spirit, which some persons possessed. It was a great pity the prisoner had not struck a man, who, in return, would have marked him for some time. Such persons as the prisoner would not attack a man, but would a female. Ho should commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour, and the number of the constable who refused to take the prisoner must be ascertained, and his conduct in quired into. T A GANG OF SWINDLERS IN TILEEAST.—A grocer, carry ing on business in tho Whitechapel-road, came before Mr. Paget and complained that ho had been swindled of a par cel of grocery, 251135. weight, by a person who had taken some premises in Three Colt-street, Limehouse. The goods were to be paid for on delivery, and the boy sent with them received special directions not to part with the goods with out the cash, but the fellow who had taken the shop in Three Colt-street induced him to part with the goods. Mr. Paget said the matter had better bo left to the dis cretion of the inspector or police in the district, who would, on the facts being represented to him correctly, either take the offender into custody or refuse to act. If the goods were to be paid for on delivery, and wore obtained by a trick, it would be a larceny. If the inspector of police or any other °Meer wanted his advice he would be most happy and ready to give all the information and assistance in his power. The grocer thanked the magistrate, and said ho understood there was a gang of villains engaged in swindling tradesmen of their goods, and taking premises in which they only remained a short time, and receiving articles for which they gave extensive , orders, and sold them directly for loss than cost price. The gang, who hav e been carrying on their nefarious schemes for some time, have opened premises in Bonners lane, near Victoria-park, the western end of the East India Dock-road, the West India Dock-road, Three Colt street, North-street, Whitechapel, and other places, and have adopted the names of Gould, Birdseye, Harvey, Goodey, and Plant. Amongst a variety of other goods they have obtained 50 dozen new sacks, hams, bacon, cheese, six casks of beer, each containing 18 gallons, from a brewer in Camberwell; bread to the amount of £5 16s. from a baker in Crisp-street, Poplar ; a cart load of lettuces, delivered in Bonner's-lane, and other goods. One of the gang was taken to the Poplar station for defrauding a tradesman, and discharged by the inspector, who said the victim could only sue the fellow in a civil court. There is a warrant out against one of the gang. They are all well known to the police of th e K di v i s i on at t h e A r b our - s t ree t s t a ti on, adjoining the court, and Buden, a - very intelligent detec tive officer, 4 K, who has been watching the operations of the scoundrels for some time, and warning tradesmen against their schemes, has obtained a mass of evidence against them, to justify an indictment against them for conspiracy. A WORD ON CANONBURY.—A silly notion once prevailed that there was formerly a subterranean com munication between the Priory of St. Bartholomew and Canonbury Rouse. We have contemporary evidence of its general productiveness, its meadow for pasture, its fields of corn, and the excellent produce of its dairies; so that from the thirteenth century till the Reforma tion, Canonbury, and other large estates in Islington, were cultivated under the monks. Those of Canon bury even supplied the distant priory with water, much esteemed for its clearness and purity, from " the condyte hede of Saynt Barthilmewes, within the manor of Canbury," or Canonbury. To it a small piece of land called Ze Coteliers, or the Cutlers, was added, to benefit the soul of one John, of Kentish Town, deceased. The manor retains its old boundaries to the present day, i.e., from the Cock, at Righbury, along the Upper-street, to the statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton, on Islington-green ; thence, via Lower-ro a d t o S t. Paul ' s Church, Ball ' s Pond ; and so by St. Paul's -road back to the starting point. The waste of the manor is the triangular plot of land called Islington- Green.--Jourt TIMBS iIA Once a Week., • ,„ • p,., t final -1%0 V" f • : HER MAJESTY, &c. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 4.

GENEROSITY OF THE SULTAN.—When the Sol forino was firing a salute of 101 guns at Toulon, on the arrival of the Sultan, one of the guns burst. The master gunner was killed and three men wounded. His Ottoman Majesty, on hearing of the accident, declared that he would accord a pension to the family of the deceased and pay sum of money to each of the others. A SUMMER EXCURSION. —On Monday last the fifth annual excursion of the members and friends of the Whitechapel Church Young Men's Association took place• The party, numbering over 200 persons, accompanied 11 the president of the association, the Rev. James Copen, and dirs. Copen, left the Allhallows Pier, London-bridge, for Richmond, on board one of the saloon boats belonging to the Citizen Steamboat Company, specially chartered for the occasion, and, after a pleasant day's enjoyment, arrived at London-bridge about 9.30 in the evening. THE Bo UNDAiCY COMMISSIONERS.—In comparing the names of the Boundary Commissioners under the present Reform Bill with those named in 1831 the balance of impartiality weighs in favour of 1867.

The worthy magistrate could not surely mean t ° say that they would not have been so indignant had the assassin aimed at the Emperor. TIIE UNIVERSITY TENNIS MATCHES.—On Wed: nesday last the four-handed match of the sister Universi ties was decided at the tennis court, Lord's Ground, On Oxonians being victorious. Messrs. Boyle and Coatel played for the dark blues, the Cantabs being represente d by Messrs. Swaine and Stephenson.

The third was a pretty close game, 10 the Oxonians ultimately won at 7 to 5, thus winning the match. The single-handed game was played on Saturdai last, and resulted in an easy victory, Mr. Boyle, on th e part of Oxford, winning all the games. Mr. Stephenso n played for Cambridge. A VOLUNTEER SCHOOLMASTER.—The Banffshire Journal records the death of James Beattie, son., Gordons" town, better known as the Auchterless John Pounds, wbi ell took place on Thursday last. Tho deceased was born 270 January, 1781, in the parish of Rayne. About the end of last or beginning of the present century Mr. Beattie 51/ ' moved from the parish of Rayne to Gordonstown, t o Auchterless, and there commenced business on his owu 3e ; count as a shoemaker. At that p er i o d sc h oo l s were few a 731; far between, and many, especi a lly i n rura l di str i cts, thou gh; it only a useless expenditure o f money an d t i me to send their children to school un til th e y reac h e d th e age o f 12 °' 13 years. Owing to this state of matters, Mr. Beattie O g not long in observing the lamentable state of ignoran ° which then prevailed around him. Many had grown uP to man and woman's estate unable either to read or writ e ; and who with respect to religious instructi on were eqUt°, l l ignorant. This first suggested to him the idea o f hiresei becoming a volunteer instructor. On his intentions b e ' coming known, many of his neighbours placed their di ll ' drcn under his tuition, and such was his art in gaining th e affections of the young folks that his workshop was sol filled with the rising gen era ti on o f b o th sexes, and he 13% often to work till past mid n i g ht t o ma k e up f or t i me s pel in teaching during the d ay .

EXTRAORDINARY MORTALITY AMONG TIIE SAI'; MON OF THE SOLWAY.—During th e l as t th ree or f our the residents in the neighbourhood of Rockliffe 31) Burgh Marshes have witnessed the recurrence of an er f traordinary phenomenon connected with the sahnonido od the Solway.
