The Atlantic (fable 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 -11 directions. The feeling of the house has been plainly manifested by the repeated inquiries 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 affliction which had already befallen his young Empress had awakened a general feeling of regret, more especially among those who remember her when, as the Princess CnAnLorrE; in her fair and happy girlhood, she was a frequent visitor at our own Court. Everywhere there will be an una nimous feeling of Borrow and of indignation ; sorrow at the abrupt and tragical termination to a career which might have been as prosperous as brilliant, 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 alienated the sympathies of their most powerful allies, the people of the United States. They have left them selves without a friend, as well as put themselves 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 unfit 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 intervention 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 much 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 Mexico. 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 JUAREZ 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 MAXIMI 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 Prince have at least the satisfaction of knowing that he has sacrificed his life to his honour. It is better for the house of IlarsnuitG 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 ehould 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 still 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 as to the advisability of adopting some scheme of this sort that he 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 formidable, and he declared that he would not relinquish his he thought, proposal for cumulative voting, which, was the last chance of mitigating the evils of the measure. At a subsequent period of the evening the right hon. gentleman brought on his 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 spoke 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 hon. member was rejected, the llouse soon after agreed to it, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer wisely comiug 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. THE SUN, LONDOS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1867. factory 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 3Jr. lIIBBERT'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. 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, in 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 Diplomaague 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:Tatches have been received at Vienna announcing that the Em 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 ♦alour 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 odioustreason, no longer allow such rigour among civilised nations, and one united voice throughout the world will denounce the cowardly act which has terminated the drama of Queretaro. We shall shortly receive details of this 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 clay 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 impression." The King Don Luis, of Portugal, accompanied by the Duke de Coimbra hi s b ro th er, h as left Lisbon for Geneva, to meet the Queen. His M a j esty, 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. He 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 Athens 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 Exhi bition undoubtedly " grows with what it feeds on." The weather to-day was " everything by turns g."windy, dusty, then raanidninngo,tlaiinndg accompaniedrdmcyca, sionally with a sickly and fleeting gleam of very hot sunshine. All of us in Paris have seen better days. The Moniteur of this evening states that M. Fer rari, Minister of Finance of Italy, has resigned, and that his resignation has been accepted by the King. His successor has not been appointed. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Em press was present at the Council. The evening Moniteur 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 Arabes . sailor. • LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) INDIA. BOMBAY, June 9, via Trieste. The shareholders of• the Bank of Bombay have expressed an opinion in favour of amalgamation by 137 votes against 134, who prefer reconstruction. The amalgamation scheme will be submitted to the Bank of Bengal shareholders on June 14, and an other meeting of the Bombay Bank shareholders will be held August 12, to decide definitively for amalgamation or reconstruction. The new light-house at Cenery was inaugurated June 1. Mr. W. H. Havelock has been appointed acting commissioner for Scinde, until Colonel Merewether can take up the appointment. The double line of telegraph through Persia is completed, and is now in good working order. ik Colonel Merewether has returned to ➢Tassowah, whence he forwarded an ultimatum to the Emperor Theodorus, demanding the release of the Abyssinian captives. Internal dissensions are said to have de prived the Emperor of all but a small portion of his territory. The British Consul at 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, has been killed by a Tiger whilst shooting. FRANCE. PARIS, July 5. The Ifoniteur 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 on the heads of those who call themselves the representatives of the Mexican Republic an ineffaceable stigma. The reprobation of all civilised nations will be the first punishment of a Government which has 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.

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 population—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 an ordinary 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 orders.

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 rep or t of the medical officer on the provisions, &c., and h av i ng heard the defence o f t h e master, the Court is o f opinion that the out b rea k o f scurvy on board the Travancore has been chiefly produced by the lo ng continuance of the consump tion of salt pro v i s i ons, the want of anti-scorbutics whilst at Aden, an d t h e very inferior quality of the lime juice. The C ourt is also of opinion that the master is greatly t o b lame in not hav i ng issued to his suffering crew the preserved potatoes and bottled fruits which he brought to Callao, and which ho wa s ev id ently unwilling to acknowledge having on board. T he state of the o ffi c i a l an d ship's log is also extremely unsatisfactory, and shows negligence and great want of care. The owners are consequently 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 A c t (18 54), as we ll as the fees for the medical survey, and the cost of the proceed ings of this court---say one gold ounce." MADAME TUSSAUD 'S—S ome mos t beautiful and magnificent Court Dres ses, the designs an d f as hi ons b e i ng copied from the Paris Exbibi t i on, have b een lately added to Madame Tussaud's Exhibi t i on, i n B a k er -street. There is likewise to be seen a complete series of models, life-size, of the Kings and Queens of England, in the splendid cos tumes of the times, from William the Conqueror to that of her present most gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. A model of the !Sultan of Turkey is ON now added. HAYMARKET 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. Mattocks. 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.Buckstone with 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. The " 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 andpentlemen—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 great counter attraction at the Free Trado 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 hero 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 we do not, but shall simply reply that wo all feel inclined to stay at home; therefore I have made up my mind to prolong the season until July in next year, when the theatre must ba 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 now play ; early in September Mrs. Scott-Siddous will resume her performances for a few weeks, and pro bably produce Romeo and Juliet.' In October, Mr. Sothern will return from Paris—(lowl 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 drains by Mr. Falconer, and a comedy by Dr. Westland .Marston. Since I last had the honour of addressing you, we have given you many new pieces ; among tht,se that 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 ii was not so much out of place hero 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 Agnes ; or The Bleeding Nun of Lindenberg' and The Tale of Mys tery,' while Obi; or, Three-lingered Jack,' was first pro duced on the old boards of the old Haymarket, Mr. Chas. Kemblo 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 int eres t e d , 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 sh e was ma d e a Christian, I may say, Truly we were managers enow, e'en as many as could well live one by another. This making of managers will lower the receipts, for if we all grow to be managers we 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 horn 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 ? 7 —' Not until two, sometimes three.' 'My I how late !' was the remark. And the well-to-do folk?'—' Oh, they don't dint, 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, he don't dine till next day.' (Laughter.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, if we wero not to commence our principal piece until the late hour proposed, that portion of our performance would not be over till next day—besides, it is v ery we l l known that w h e n 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 have been made are confined mostly to the ladies, but you will not hear this with sorrow when I tell 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.—There is less inquiry for wool to-day. The demand falls dQcidedly 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 contracts in the hands of some spin ners, new orders are 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 fiat. The conti nental houses are increasingly cautious in placing orders, J: rites 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 experience 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 the 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 I have not at present any intention of consulting my colleagues respecting it." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. BOW-STREET. EXTENSIVE FORGERIES OF POST-OFFICE ORDERS.— Samuel Dunstall, a young man who had been in the ser vice of Mr. Headley, 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 June last, but nothing was missed until he re ceived a telegram from London, asking him to examine his blank-form books, when he 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 he left the town. The other orders he 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 he 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 he was an assistant to Mr. Aldridge, who kept a post-office at Brighton. Money orders were issued and paid there. The letter of advice produced arrived at their office on the 2Gth 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 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, 504, 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. Ile signed the receipt " Alfred Brown." George Cosstick, post-office receiver, Western-road, Brighton, gave similar evidence with respect to the pay ment of a pest-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. Ire 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 ho was fully com mitted for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A STREET OUTRAGE—STRANGE CONDUCT OP A CON STABLE.—WID. Wallis, a painter, of No. 45, Stanley-street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt 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 bleed," and he 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 charge ? did the constable not take the Complainant—lle 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 sho would attend the court, and on her stating that she might not be able, as she had to go to a rehearsal, he would not take the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were you quite sober? Com plainant—Certainly ; but I do not think the priso ner was quite sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt—There must he an inquiry into the po lice constable's conduct in the matter. Was the prisoner taken by another constable for striking tho other female? Complainant—Yes. The prisoner struck me on the eye without any provocation whatever. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How do you got your living ? Complainant—l char at the Duko of Grafton's and other noblemen's houses. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls the other female who was struck in attendance ? Complainant—Sho 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 the prisoner as having assaulted them, he 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 mobl)od, my hat knocked in, and 1 put s up my hands to de fend myself. Complainant—There was no one 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 bo 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. THAMES. A GANG OF SWINDLERS IN THE EAST.—.A grocer, carry ing on business in the Whitecbapol-- oad, came before Mr. Paget and complained that ho had been swindled of a par cel of grocery, 251bs. weight, by a person who had taken some premises in Throe Colt-street, Limehouso. The goods were to bo 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 be left to the dis cretion of the inspector of police in the district, who would, I 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 officer 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 he 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 less than cost price. The gang, who have 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, Goodoy, 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 ; broad to the amount of £5 16s. from a baker iu 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 the K division at the Arbour-street station, 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 House. Wo 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, Canoubury, and other largo estates in Islington, wore 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 Barthilmowes, within the manor of Canbury," or Canonbury. To it a small piece of land called le 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 Highbury, along the Upper-street, to the statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton, on Islington-green ; thence, via Lower-road to St. 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- Ureen.--Jons TIMBS in Once a Week. ((Plitt iirtnbr. HER MAJESTY, &c. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 4. Her Majesty the Queen and the Queen of Prussia, accomprnied by Prince Leopold, drove out yester day afternoon. Colonel the Hon. A. Hardinge was in attendance upon horseback. Princess Louise arrived at the Castle yesterday from Marlborough-house, attended by Lady Caro line Barrington and the Hon. A. Liddell. Her Majesty the Queen, the Queen of Prussia, Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, walked and drove in the Home Park this morning. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, the Duke de Chartres, the Count and Countess de Paris, and Prince and Princess de Joinville visited her Majesty the Queen and the Queen of Prussia to-day at Windsor Castle. The Duchess of Wellington and the Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote arrived at the Castle yester day, and had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal Family. Sir T. M.

Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, attended by Baroness Schenck and Capt. von Westerweller, visited the General Lying-in Hospital and King's College Hospital yesterday. GENEROSITY OF THE SULTAN.—When the Sol ferino 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 a 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 by the president of the association, the Rev. James Copen, and Mrs. 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 BOUNDARY IJOMMISSIONERS:—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 following is the list of those appointed under the first Reform Bill :—L. B. Allen, candidate for Southwark in 1832, but defeated ; Benjamin Anstey, Thomas B. Birch, Henry Brandreth, R.E., John J. Chapman, R.A., Robert K. Dawson, R.E., John E. Drink - water, Thomas F. Ellis, Usury Gawler ; H. B. Fier, Whig candidate for Norwich in 1832 ; George B. Leonard, son of Sir F. Leonard ; William Wylde, B.A. ; William H. Ord, M.P. for New port ; John Romilly, M.P. for Bridport, 1132 ; R. J. Saunders, R.A., Richard Scott, Rev. R. Sheepshanks; Henry W. Tancred, M.P. for Banbury, 1832 ; John Wrottesley, now Lord Wrottesley. This list consists noarly all, if not entirely, of ultra-Liberals.—Pall Gazette. NEW BOROUGHS.—The population of those boroughs which, according to the proposed amendment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, are to return one member each, aro thus epitomised in a Parliamentary paper that has just appeared:—Lutor, 22,291 ; Darlington, 16,901 ; Hartlepool, 27,475; Stockton, 16,483; Gravesend, 24,525; St. Helens, 41,345 ; Burnley, 37,984 ; Staleybridge, 56,931 ; Wednesbury, 92,633 ;:Middlesborough, 23,356 ; Dewsbury, 38,559; Barnsley, 30,849 ; and Keighley, 34,186. A FRENCHMAN'S BULL.—The following is an address recently presented to the Emperor of the French, in the name of the Juges do Paix of Auxerre :—" Sire, — The Juges de Paix of Auxerre and their deputies feel, like all Frenchmen, the necessity of expressing to your Majesty their profound indignation at an attempt which its culpable author did not mean to direct against your august person." The worthy magistrate could not surely mean to say that they would not have been so indignant had the assassin aimed at the Emperor. THE 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, the Oxonians being victorious. Messrs. Boyle and Coates played for the dark blues, the Cantabs being represented by Messrs. S waine and Stephenson. The first game was won by the Oxonians at 6 to 3 ; they also won the second bout at 8 to G. The third was a pretty close game, but the Oxonians ultimately won at 7 to 5, thus winning the match. The single-handed game was played on Saturday last, and resulted in an easy victory, Mr. Boyle, on the part of Oxford, winning all the games. Mr. Stephenson 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,which took place on Thursday last. The deceased was born 27th January, 1781, in the parish of Rayne. About the end of last or beginning of the present century Mr. Beattie re moved from the parish of Rayne to Gordonsto wn, in Auchterless, and there commenced business on his own ac count as a shoemaker. At that period schools were few and far between, and many, especially in rural districts, thought it only a useless expenditure of money and time to send their children to school until they reached the ago of 12 or 13 years. Owing to this state of matters, Mr. Beattie was not long in observing the lamentable state of ignorance which then prevailed around him. Many had grown up to man and woman's estate unable either to read or write, and who with respect to religious instruction were equally ignorant. This first suggested to him the idea of himself becoming a volunteer instructor. On his intentions be coming kne wn, many of his neighbours placed their chil dren under his tuition, and such was his art in gaining the affections of the young folks that his workshop was soon filled with the rising generation of both sexes, and he had often to work till past midnight to make up for time spent in teaching during the day. For the long period of 6 0 years Mr. Beattie conducted a school, at which there were daily in attendance from 30 to 40 scholars, and nothing would have offended him so much as to have offered him anything in the shape of school fees. EXTRAORDINARY MORTALITY AMONG THE SAL MON OF THE SOLWAY.—During the last three or four days the residents in the neighbourhood of Rockliffe and Burgh Marshes have witnessed the recurrence of an ex traordinary phenomenon connected with the salmonidx of the Solway. After each tido the shore has been found strewed with dead and dying salmon and salmon trout, presenting no indication of the cause of death. Wo have heard of some 50 fish being found ou the sands of Rock liffe Marsh, and wo believe that on the Burgh Marsh side of the river a much larger number have been picked up. It will be remembered that a similar occurrence took place last year, when various theories were put forth as to the cause of death. The fact, however, that the mortality of last year was accompanied by the same conditions of weather and water as that of this year seems to settle the doubt as satisfactorily as probably it ever will be settled. During the whole of last week the Eden had fallen Jun' usually low ; the tides were also low ; while, at the same time, the weather was exceedingly warm. The chronicler of meteorological observations at Silloth records "a week of brilliant summer weather, sky almost cloudless ; solar radiation great, and atmosphere very dry." The 6 1111 would, therefore, play with un wonted power upon the shallow water at the mouth of the Eden, raising its torn' perature, and sickening its finny inhabitants oven unto death. There is little doubt, in fact, that the fish loft by the tide have either died of a sun-stroke or have been 5° much sickened and weakened by the action of the sun si/ to be unable to get away with the receding tide.—CarlisM Journal. MARINE DISASTERS.—The monthly statement published by the Bureau Veritas of Paris shows that in the month of May last 182 vessels were totally lost, 01 which number were comprised 94 English, 27 American , 20 Prussian, nine French, nine Dutch, nine Norwegians and 17 bearing various other flags. The number of ve°' eels supposed to have been lost with their entire °roc° during the same period is 28. The total number of vessel° lost during the first months of the present year is 1,349, diminution of 17 as compared with the corresponding period of 1866. A CLERGYMAN DROWNED.—On Tuesday morning the Rev. Mr. M'Gilchrist, assistant to the Rev. Dr. Pater son, minister of the second charge of Montrose, went doo l : to bathe on the sands between th e t wo s t a k e - ne t s a bout o'clock.
