HIGH WATER AT Pais DAY.—Morning, 12h. To-MORROW:3lorning, lh. " DISH. 'RIGS." (From the Spectator) Mr. Disraeli has openly admitted that party mo tive for the Reform Bill which Lord Derby, when taxed with it, did not venture to deny. Lord Gran ville, with his adroit indiscretion, recently told in the House of Lords how the Premier, attacked by a friend as to his bill, had defended it with the sim ple argument, " Don't you see how it has dished the Whigs ?" Mr. Disraeli, in his speech of Wednes day night, at the Mansion-house—a speech of quite unusual bitterness and bumptiousness, declared, in graver language, the same belief, asserted that he had " attempted to disturb a monopoly ;" that this had produced all the irritation ; that the Whigs believed they had a hereditary right to deal with the question of reform ; but that "he had in his time seen many monopolies broken up, and recently he had seen the termination of the monopoly of liberalism." " Nor are we to be surprised that when certain persons believed that they had an hereditary right, whenever it was necessary to renovate the in stitutions of their country, they should be somewhat displeased that any other persons should presume to interfere with those changes which I hope in the spirit of true patriotism they believed the require ments of the State rendered necessary. But lam sure that when the hubbub has subsided—when the shrieks and screams which were heard some time ago, and which have already subsided into sobs and sighs, shall be entirely appeased—nothing more terrible will be discovered to have occurred than that the Tory party has resumed its natural functions in the government of the country. For what is the Tory party unless it represents national feeling? If it do not represent national feeling, Toryism is nothing. It does not depend upon hereditary coteries of exclu sive nobles ; it does not attempt power by attracting to itself the spurious force which may accidentally arise from advocating cosmopolitan principles, or talking cosmopolitan jargon." In short, in Mr. Disraeli's opinion, as in Lord Derby's, the bill has " dished the Whigs." The great party, which for 180 years has, under one name or another, ruled the destinies of Great Britain, which has led, and in leading has moderated every popular movement, which founded and defended the constitutional monarchy, purified and restored the national repre sentation, emancipated the Catholics, abolished slavery, relieved the people of the Bloody Code, risked its existence to secure justice to Ireland, esta blished the freedom of commerce and manufacture, and authorised the people to buy bread where they will ; the party to which we owe the almost un broken, though gradual progress of two centuries, which alone has known how to reconcile aris tocratic permanence with the popular thirst for advance, which bat yesterday induced the middle class peacefully to transfer its power to the nation, has been killed, cooked, served up, by Mr. Disraeli and his chief, and the bearers of the platter are ready to dance with exultation. There is to be no more " cosmospolitan jargon," no more respect for humanity outside two petty islands, no more aspiration, no more effort to occupy worthily the place of a leader among the nations. The 'Whigs are " dished." England is a parish, and Tory vestrymen—led by a chairman who at heart scorns his followers as only one of his race can scorn, who tells them openly that they are " fiat-nosed bar barians"—are to maintain a leaden rule, broken only by passionate efforts of poor Radicals deprived of their hereditary leaders, with the bones of the Liberal party all crushed, to lift off the irresistible weight. It is a noble prospect, and one at which a party who, when their one converted Whig is sick, have not among them a peer with brains enough to carry out his orders, who have raised Mr. Disraeli to power because he broke the heart of their own one man of genius, naturally exult. The Upper House without Whigs would be a paradise for the dull, a place where a Duke of Marlborough would seem almost bright, and Lord Malmesbury rank as a statesman, and what a relief would that be to a Premier weary of finding brains for the incapable, eloquence for the silent! A Lower House full of Ayrtons and Ha.rdys, with himself to gull the one and make combinations with the other—what a delightful prospect for Mr. Disraeli ! But, then, is there the faintest prospect of its realisation ? The Carlton thinks so, though with a suspicion under lying all its confidence, for, after all, the Carlton has read Mr. Disraeli as well as heard him, and we believe it is the greatest of the Carlton's de lusions. By the " Whigs," who are " dished," Lord Derby means, first of all, that group of power ful and titled families to which the Stanleys pro perly belong, which from 1688 to 1832 adminis tered Great Britain, and held down Ireland ; and secondly, those moderate but determined Liberals who have found alliance with those families the swiftest and most certain road to great reforms. Now, what on earth is there in this bill to break the power of either of these two classes ? We like neither cordially, for we detest the laissez-faire theory which they have of late years, in the lazi ness of their triumph, chosen to adopt ; and we be , lieve that their social ideas, ideas summed up in th l / 4 one word " exclusiveness," have seriously injured, it may be have permanently, weakened the fibre of the national character. They, and not the Tories, are responsible for that spirit of flunkeyism, that adoration of a social fetish, which inculcated for thirty years by successful and able men, has honey combed English manliness. But what is there in this bill to destroy them ? The county suffrage ? Well, if there is a human being likely to conciliate a twelve-pound county elector, it is a Cavendish or a Fitzwilliam, a great landowning magnate, wil ling to advocate heartily liberal ideas. The squires can vote for him without a fight with the electors of the great villages and unrepresented towns, who if the squires do not effect that compromise, will carry in the contest of the factions men neither party will approve. Is it the borough suffrage ? The social rank of the Whigs will help them as much as their rivals, and they have, this bill once passed, nothing to divide them from the people. There is no internal reform, no measure of construction in which they cannot heartily join. Is it they who must refuse, or will have the instinct of refusing, radical measures in Ireland, or great schemes of education, or protection to co-operotion, or the re visal of the land laws ? Is it they specially who are interested in the stupid system of rating which now presses as heavily on England as protection, who will resist a popular army, who will shrink from opening the universities, who will draw back from liberalising the Church, frightened by the awful ness of mitres ? What is there in the programmeof the future which is to drive the Whigs away from their usual position as vanguard of the Liberals? We do not care much if they are driven away ; England can live without Cavendishes or Russells, Fitzwilliams or Campbells ; prosperity will not cease with the Grosvenors, or administrative ability perish with Elliotts and Greys ; but Mr. Disraeli does care, and so far as we can see he is not in the least likely to be gratified. Doubtless they will have to reform their creed, and remodel their policy, put forward new men, and abandon entirely their wretched dogma of laissez-faire ; but those changes will but make them more competent, and to change effete Whigs into active Whigs is not, as Mr. Disraeli will shortly discover, equivalent to "dishing" Whigs. Lord Hartington with a radical programme is at least as formidable a person to Mr. Disraeli and his followers as Lord Hartington with no policy at all, and that is all the change he will have succeeded in effecting. He will have compelled Whigs to lead instead of restraining Radicals, and he actually sings shri ll y his p it in of trium p h over that victory for his principles ! The first election will prove little, but within ten years we shall again, we are confident, find the old Whig names in the front, doing the good they have always done, and probably also t he evil which has too frequently marked their action, consolidating the Radicals, but rendering their policy slower, feebler, and less logical than it would otherwise become. But let us admit for a moment that Lord Derby's and Mr. Disraeli's view is correct, and what a depth of political immorality is disclosed ! In whatever the Whigs differ from the Radicals they approach closer to the Tories. They are more cautious, more conservative, more averse to change, more friendly to landlordism, better inclined to Church establish -meats, log willing to Ater Piny of those coustitu , woo.. tional landmarks which Tories are accustomed to describe as almost divine. They have acted for years as breakwaters against the tide of Radicalism, as protectors of Conservative ideas from the assaults of the people. Yet Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, simply to win a party victory, have avowedly striven to replace this party by one which they regard as more menacing, more extreme, more hostile to sound political principles. They have not hesi tated to get rid of the Girondins by calling in the Mountain, to strike up an alliance with democrats, if only by their aikthey might have the temporary pleasure of crushing the Whigs. Grant that they have deprived their old antagonists of their strongest lever, the cry of Reform, still, in disarming them, they have tripled the power of antagonists yet more bitter to whom that lever is unnecessary. The very first effect of this Reform Bill will be to make a Radical Cabinet, which yesterday was impossible, not only possible, but probable—indeed, allowing for accident, quite certain ; that is, to shift the government of the country from men with whom Tories have many principles of agreement to men whom they regard, or affect to regard, as hostile to the constitution. We may look with composure or pleasure on the change—in itself a revolution--but is it one honest Tories could heartily promote ? Is it not from their point of view very like calling in the foreigner rather than yield to a domestic enemy? As a matter of fact, the foreigner will but enlist the party they are so anxious to crush ; but is all their _party patriotism merely rancour? To " dish the Whigs" the Tory chiefs have made England demo cratic, and they will before long have the satisfac tion of seeing the democrats they have called to their aid putting the Whigs they hoped so ardently to estroy in front.

The House of Lords has fulfilled the expectation of its well-wishers, and agreed to the amendments of the Commons' disagreements to their amend ments. This was a wise and patriotic course to pursue, and we may congratulate them upon it, and felicitate the country generally upon the great work of this session being virtually accom plished. Considering the difficulties that impeded the task there has not been an undue delay in the carrying of this measure, and it is certain that at any rate the Government have not been to blame for what has occurred. While we give full credit to the sincerity of the Commons for the course they have pursued, we regret they have persisted in con sidering the practice of voting papers, and agree with Lord DERBY that their reasons for so doing are not very apparent. As the noble lord said they were like the advice given to a Judge on his ap pointment, namely, that he should give his judg ment, but never state his reasons. The noble Premier showed his discernment, when he said that it was useless to expect the Commons to change their views, and the advice that he tendered to their lordships was both constitutional and well timed. Anything like a collision between the Houses just now would be decidedly out of character, and set the Reform League in a state of frenzied agitation, while Mr. BRIGHT would be rampant about the aristocracy, and the end of the session would not be a promising one. All this has, we are glad to thimk, been happily avoided by the prudence and foresight of the Lords. The Marquis of SALISBURY made some remarks about the voting papers, and truly stated that next Session it might be possible to bring in a special bill to carry out this object, which had indeed been approved by a large majority of their - lordships. Lord RUSSELL made himself quite ridiculous in his opposition to voting papers, and declared it to be his opinion that no hearty approval would be given to such a scheme by any branch of the Legislature. While we agree with Lord DERBY that the members of the House of Commons could hardly have been foolish enough to have been willing to have a Conference, and because the custom is that they stand bare headed while the Lords sit with cocked hats on, it is certainly as well that the affair did not come off, and it would be as well if this extraordinary custom was done away with altogether, for it ill accords with the feelings of the present age, and hardly insures the dignity of either House. Lord DERBY gave wise advice, in conclusion, to their lordships, when he said that, " Satisfied with the important concession in one respect made to your lordships' feelings and opinions, I think you should not run the risk of endangering so important a measure as the present, which has absorbed so much of the time of Parliament, and has so deeply interested the whole country." As the noble lord said, " the bill tended to settle a great and pre-eminently important question, and as such we feel sure the country will accept it gladly from the hands of the Legislature, and rejoice that the work has been so far satisfactorily accom plished." It needed no blaze of eloquence to impart splendour or add lustre to the debate that was last night held in the Lords. The chief thing was that the Reform Bill passed safely through the first stage. Thus the result is what people look to now,and what they will look to until this generation has passed away to make room for younger and fresher spirits to enter on the exciting stage of politics. The faults of this bill are what have been most prominent ; the merits will, we think, become more apparent now that the fire and ferment of dis cussion is over, and no party object can be gained by swelling an adverse division list. We would say, on behalf of the Conservative Government, that they need not appeal to facts to show that they have passed a Reform Bill such as Mr. BRIGHT never advised his friends to attempt ; such as Earl RUS SELL, on whom, it was believed, the mantle of the defeated chief of Reform had fallen, had never at tempted, and such as Mr. GLADSTONE, with his depth of reasoning, and height of oratory, had never planned. The franchise has been extended to those who last year never dreamed of securing it so soon even by anticipation, and many other im portant changes have been wrought. We would fain believe that the most rampant among the Opposition, and the most malcontent among the Ministerialists, will now feel glad that the work is over, and the country relieved from all chance of agitation which can gain no practical end but that of affording opportunities to those possessing zeal without discretion to lay down the law, and give rise to angy feelings. Lord DERBY has shown on this occasion a spirit equal to his early efforts in the great national task of passing a Reform Bill, and with matured wisdom known where to discern the necessity of change, and where to reckon undue expectation and inordi nate demands. As the Premier, with his usual frankness and generosity declared on a former occa sion, the chief work has fallen on Mr. DISRAELI, and he had the full responsibility devolving upon him at the most critical juncture, in consequence of the illness of the first Minister. The right hon. gentleman may well be proud of the success which has been his this session, and it is well known that but for his untiring exertion, great self-command, and determined forbearance, this bill would never have survived the second reading. The most desperate efforts were made to overset it, but, thanks to the admirable conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the devotion of his followers, and the general feeling of the House, the efforts were harmless. The struggle was, how ever, a severe one, and the prize has not been won without much striving. We think that the passing of this Reform Bill by the Conservatives will have a good effect in all directions. The Conservatives may learn that they must put up with the spirit of the age if they hope to take a leading part in the councils of the age ; the Liberals may profit by the sweet uses of adversity, and try to make their prac tice accord a little more with their professions. The country may learn that those who tai the inost may do the least, and it is always a safer policy to let both sides have a trial. A monopoly of office is a very bad thing, quite as bad as a monopoly of any thing else, and this year has introduced a beneficial change in that direction. Let all parties unite in rejoicingthat this bill has passed both houses, and let those who have no real cause left for complaint have the sense to leave off meetings and such like demonstrations which can do them no credit. The greatest respect has been paid to the Work of Reform, and those who honour the cause will best show their reverence and exhibit their sincerity by acknowledging that the time has come to allow reality to supersede idc as.

There is, without doubt, room for considerable improvement in our Indian Adminis tration. The remnants of old routine and prejudice still cling fatally to the new system of government and hamper its more vigorous action. The famine at Orissa has recently given lamentable proof of the inertness and apathy of some of our officials in 'rescue° of the more direful calamities, and there is much reason to fear that it has weakened our in fluence and authority. The people see their fellows starving by hundred of thousands, while compara tively little is done to help them by a Government which professes to be the richest and most powerful in the world. Whether they attribute this to our incapacity to assist them or our indifference to their sufferings, the inference is not calculated to strengthen our hold upon them. This is especially lamentable, since the Russians are sparing no pains to extend their influence with the natives, and the danger, though secret, is not the less real. Mr. AYRTON, who opened the debate last evening, thinks that considerable changes are necessary to bring home to the people of India the benefits of British rule. Great as those benefits undoubtedly are they are not so great as they might have been. The neglect of public works, more especially of irrigation, so necessary in such a country as India, has been a serious drawback to the civilisa tion of the people and the development of the national resources of the country—a drawback not to have been expected under the rule of a nation so famous for its engineers. It is difficult to estimate the loss inflicted upon the country through this neglect. Mr. KISNAIRD, who seconded the motion of Mr. AI ON last evening, observed that it was impossible not to conclude that by prudent foresight much of the misery in Orissa might have been averted. An irrigation company had undertaken a scheme for the irrigation of the Mabawuddee and the adjoining county, and their works had nearly e broke progressed when tphaerptiouilntuwsehewnhtehneythmeigfluitmhinave been out. And what was the reason that they were not further advanced ? The plans had been kept for 15 months in London after they bad received the sanction of Lord CANNING. had the irrigation work been in operation in Orissa the lives of thousands might have been saved. The extra ordinary thing about Indian irrigation is all istlsihnnyovad.dnolrii,ll:al inoC Idt:iro- that every one applauds it theoretically, and most of our Governors and Secretaries of State are unanimous on its advantages. How is it, then, that it does not get on faster? Lord CRANBORNE, in a pointed and vigorous speech, said that it con stituted one of the mysteries of the India House which he had not been able to fathom. " Sir CHARLES Wool) was, I believe, very anxious about irrigation, and I know Sir J. LAWRENCE was ; but, however, neither could convince the other that he was anxious about it." Lord CRAN BORNE attributes much of the mismanagement 1 which undoubtedly exists to two principal causes, the excessive centralisation of Indian ad ministration, and the irresponsibility and ineffi ciency of the Council. With regard to the first cause, he believes it to be the secret of the failure in carrying out the small public works of India, since it destroys all the zeal and energy of the men whose business it is to carry but the works, but who are under the control and direc tion of officials at a great distance, who know nothing of the subject in hand. As for the Indian Council, Lord CR.UsiBORNE holds that it should not exercise such vast powers without more direct responsibility. " Remember," said the noble lord very forcibly, " that the Coun cil have every item of expenditure, large and small, under their control, and every act of the Government which can involve expenditure —that is to say, the vast majority of its acts. But you never blame the Council if the Government of India goes wrong. You blame the Secretary of State; he is the figure that stands before Par- You find irrigation works not carried on ; you find a great province starving, and for know it may be the Council which pre vents the Secretary of State from taking any measures at all." Personal responsi bility, says Lord CRANBORNE, is what we require in the government of India, and in this he agrees with Mr. LAING, no mean authority. Mr. MILL, indeed, whose opinions have especial weight on this subject, is in favour of the Council, and thinks that a larger view of Indian affairs is ob tained by its agency than if more power was en trusted to the Secretary of State, who often knows little enough of Indian matters when he takes office. It is a many - sided question ; but there is one point connected with our Anglo- Indian not exclusion xa v et sor e tle r l usa n nste r Government kgoi nenhnattbtho remarked, fel ei t mthGtyhaaootorykre nativeser g adnmm e bt a ehi t nt l ei y tyo.fnrc,o n rarrna e nh e ne d had s anp, ryedao a lspgy t atten tion—the \e e fe i n auori - tfl. to compare the Russian with the English system.

The cholera has manifested itself in Al g eria, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) having first appeared in Tunisia, where it broke out at the town of Biskra. The natives suffered severely from this terrible malady, and the Europeans emi grated in a body towards the Tele. The number of deaths is not mentioned. According to the last ac counts from Algeria, the cholera had broken out in several parts of the colony. The Constitutionnel remarks upon various articles in the German papers containing the most un founded assertions in regard to a misunderstanding between France and Prussia, which, it says, are of the most amicable nature. The Constitutionnel adds its authority to the Gazette of Northern Germany, in contradiction of a report published both in France and Germany, to the effect that before Prussia con sented to the evacuation of Luxembourg she ad dressed a demand or request to Holland to sign a secret treaty, containing an engagement upon the part of the King of Holland to observe the strictest neutrality whatever might happen between the other TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, August 12. To-day a grand reception was held by the Sultan, which was attended by all the Ministers of State and the Ottoman Minister at Athens. Cabriali Paella has been appointed to compliment the Czar on the part of the Sultan upon his visit to the Cri►nea. General Sysatieff, the Russian ambassador, has left for the Crimea to meet the Czar. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, August 13. The Vienna papers of to-day state that in conse quence of the circular of the Turkish Government, protesting against the removal of Candiote fugitives to Greece by European men of war, the Austrian commander in Candian waters has received orders to convey Christians seeking refuge on board his vessels to Turkish territory. At the same time the Austrian consular agents have been instructed to see that the promise given by Turkey that the fugi tives should be well received is loyally executed, and to mako the local Turkish authorities answerable for their proper treatment. Powers. Although yesterday was Sunday the trial of the woman Frigard, for the alleged murder near Fon tainbleau, was proceeded with at Melun. The case for the prosecution was not concluded. The chief point of interest of the evidence given was that of Madame Boyer, who keeps the accounts at the Hotel du France et Angleterre at Fontainbleau. She stated that, during her temporary absence on the evening of the 7th of May, the servants had received two ladies from Paris at the hotel. When she saw them, from their vulgar manner and be haviour, she regretted that they had been admitted. She did not see either of them the next morning, but in the afternoon about four o'clock the !shorter one of the two (the prisoner) came back and told her that she had lost her friend in the forest, but that she was not uneasy about her, because she expected to find her at the railway station. The witness added that while the prisoner was saying these things, which she thought very strange, she examined the lady. She was con tinually smiling, but, nevertheless, there was some thing about her (the prisoner) which the witness did not like. A cold fowl was served up to the prisoner for dinner, which she carved into pieces, but she eat a simple morsel, and left by the omnibus at a quar ter past six for the station for Paris. On leaving the prisoner again smiled at the witness, a fact which, said the latter, did not confirm her good opinion of a woman who said that she had left her friend alone in the forest. The prisoner next paid for her dinner with a bank-note for 100 f., which was identified as being the property of the deceased. The King of Sweden dined on Friday last with his cousin, Baron Nicolas Clary. The other guests were the Countess d a Montijo, the Countess de Nava, the Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Hausmann, the Swedish Minister, M.

Among the circumstances which seem to justify a belief that the , Exhibition building will not be destroyed is a report that a company has proposed to lease the building just as it is stands for an annual rent of 200,000 f. The same company also undertakes to reimburse in 30 annuities the 22 millions expended in the construction of the Palace and its dependencies. The weather is still settled. The heat was very oppressive to-day. This has been the hottest da y of the year. A soldier, named Malcer, condem ned to death on the 4th of June last, was shot at Besancon on Fri day morning, at five o'cloc k. The last military execution at Besancon was in the year 1827.

The coachman and one of the sons of Lord Cairns, a youth about seven years, who had been seated be side the coachman, was forcibly thrown to the ground, where they lay insensible. Meanwhile, the 1 horses, with the shattered vehicle and its frightened inmat...s, went off at a furious rate along the avenue.

Blanc, one of the captives in Abyssinia, writing from Magdala on the 30th of April, tells a story of a little excitement which had enlivened the monotony of life in captivity. On the fith two prisoners in th a t place, Aby ssinians, one who had killed his mother by acc id e nt and had not been tried, and Lij Bade, the son o f a groat Shum of Tigre, managed to ?pen their ch a i ns , d resse d themselves in women's clothing (in that count r y on ly a long shirt) , and taking advantage of market day when all the servants g o down to the market place they succeed e d in getting out. The young mur derer having contrived to get off b oth rings walked faster than his companion, and passed the g ates without suspi cion. Lij Bario was less fortuna te. Ho could only open one ring, and was therefore obliged to fix the chain on the other leg by means of a piece of cloth. A young warrior, seeing what appeared to be a good-looking young girl, approached to try on her his powers of fascination. While looking to see if the ankles corresponded in elegance to tho brightness of the oyes, h o was somew hat sur p rised b y see ly bandag,ed. A few yards further, a ing a leg complete puff of wind throwing up the skirt exposed to his horror struck gaze the unmistakable rings p-eping hero and there through the folds of the bandage. He called some sol diers at a distance, and with thei r hel p recaptured the pri soner. It is needless to say how brutally he was treate3, kicked, and beaten until his life was almost to be despaired of. The woman who gave him her shirt was literally cut to pieces, having received mor e than 2 00 lashes on her bare back.

A murder was committed the evening before last in the Bois de Vincennes. An artilleryman, named Tamare, was on terms of intimacy with a young married woman of light character—the husband, a workman, apparently concerning him self but little with the misconduct of his wife, and spending a large portion of his time in wineshops. Tamare had incurred some disciplinary punishment, and while confined to his barracks for a few days was told that he had been replaced in the good graces of his mistress by his corporal, and the first evening after he had recovered his liberty, he, in fact, met the two walking together. lle exchanged a few words with the corporal, and then offered his arm to the woman, who accepted it ; then conduct ing the woman to a lonely place in the wood be neath some trees, ho stabbed her in the heart with a large clasp knife, killing her on the spot. lle afterwards allowed himself to be arrested without resistance.

Heart. It appears that one of the men belonging to the establishment hap pened to spill in the cellar some petroleum, and another in endeavouring to wipe up the oil set fire to some of the inflammable materials about, and the flames spread instantaneously. Assistance was immediately forthcoming, and after an hour's labour the conflagration was got under where the danger seemed greatest. But at that moment a frightful explosion of petroleum and gas took place, blow ing up the cellar and injuring a great number of persons in the street above. Not fewer than 80 were more or less wounded, and some of them severely. Thirteen of the firemen had to be taken to the hospital, badly burnt, as well as ten soldiers of the 81st Regiment. M. Chambret, son of the officer of firemen, who died from the effect of the injuries received when the Magazins-Generaux were burnt down last year, has been grievously wounded by the explosion. Lieut. Bouillet, of the same corps, had an arm broken and his face burnt. There are upwards of thirty cases sufficiently grave under treat ment in the hospital of Saint-Andre, besides a great number of persons less seriously injured, who are at tended at their own homes. No death, however, is up to the present time reported. The excitement in the city was for some hours intense, and as soon as it had somewhat subsided a subscription was opened in favour of the sufferers, the municipality giving I,ooofr. No doubt is entertained that a considerable sum will be raised. A Dog's FIDELITY.—A gentleman belonging to the staff at the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley took a long walk in the neighbourhood of Southampton last week, accompanied by his dog, a fine Newfoundlander. In the evening he missed some letters from his coat pocket and his dog. The latter did not surprise him, as his dog often wandered from him in his walks. The next day the gen tleman felt annoyed and puzzled at the loss of his letters, and he thought it possible he might have drawn them out of his pocket with his handkerchief during his previous day's walk. He resolved, therefore, to repeat the walk, for he might have dropped the letters in an unfrequented path, and they might be there still. About four miles from the hospital he came suddenly upon his dog lying on the ground, with the letters close by. The (log must have laid by the side of the letters for 16 hours, including the whole night. The animal has been rechristened " Post master-General." An artist has sketched the Postmaste r General guarding the letters. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PARIS, Monday Evening The 3foniteur announces the death of Baron de Verga, Minister from Bavaria to the Holy See. His Excellency died very suddenly at Rome, and his death was attributed to cholera, but the state ment is contradicted. The cholera has not yet been very fatal in Rome i but, as I have already men tioned, the Pope sets the good example of not leaving the city, and will pass the remainder of the summer at the Vatican. The St. Petersburg journals mention the conclu sion of a treaty of peace between Russia and the Government of Bokhara. The Empress has given audience to the mayor and other authorities of Versailles, who were charged by a large number of the inhabitants to present an address to her Majesty, thanking her fur the creation of an historical gallery at Trianon, which attracts a vast number of visitors. The New Free Press, of Vienna, states in positive terms that M. de Bismark has submitted to the King of Prussia some proposals, having for object to induce a more intimate friendship between Aus tria and Prussia. One of those propositions is that Prussia shall send a despatch to Vienna, in which she will recognise the doctrine that " Austria alone of all the foreign Powers" has the right to interfere in any way with the affair of Northern Schleswig. King William is supposed to have consented to this suggestion of M. de Bismarck, and the journal the in quest ion expresses great anxiety to ascertain manner in which this amicable advance will be re ceived by the Cabinet of Vienna. The Menzorial Diplomatique asserts that it has a uthority for stating that M. Dano, the French Ambassador in Mexico, is not under any restraint, and that his stay in the capital is quite voluntary. M. Dano exhibits so little anxiety at the present posture of affairs that he has not made any applica tion with a view to obtain permission to leave Mexico.
