It is clear that the EXP3Ror. of the French does not concur with Lord CLARENDON in think ing that "the proceedings of Austria do not jus tify censure." Th© simple, straightforward, and unadorned statement of our illustrious Ally must carry with it conviction to every unprejudiced mind as to the duplicity and insincerity of that vacillating and shuffling power. The strongest vituperative language could not convey weightier condemnation than that plain narrative of facts, or a firmer resolution to insist on the perform ance of the solemn obligation from which the Cabinet of Vienna have endeavoured to wriggle out. It was, indeed, a model addres s , a patriotism o f t h e ppealing to the country in the best possible manner, and rising to sublimity in its dignified simplicity. The most elalcorate state papers have not placei th e real questions at issueso clearly and explicitly before Europe, so that " he who runs may read," and every man may form his own judgment as w e ll on theconduct and demands of the Western Power s as on those of Austria. His Imperial Majesty first deals with the Allies, and boldly inquires, " Were we wanhtii:sngquienstmiZeie ration in settling the conditi ons 1" T examines fairly, laying down incontrovertible facts, and drawing the legitimate, and, w e m i ght add, irresistible inferences. What was the state of affairs at the time that Austria, by false and fraudulent pretensions, induced us to enter into the abortive Conferences, that reflected so much disgrace on Russia and on Austria? The EMPEROR truly d e scribes it. He say s :—" One year alre a d y h ad passed since the commencement of the war, and already France and England had saved Turkey, gained two battles, forced Russia to evacuate the -Principalities, and to exhaust her forces in the defence of the Crimea. We had, moreover, in our favour the adh esion of Austria and the moral approbation of the of f he c Eu i m-' Europe." Such was the course o.f events—such rest stances of the time when Austria, in the interest of Russia, as is now but too manifest, thought prop er to i nter f ere . She believed that, if she continued neu t ra l, matters would he concluded without he r ass i stance or c o-operation, and that she w ou ld be unable to stipulate for any peculiar adva n t ages to herself which her g reedy cupidity sought for, although her contemptible timidity prevented her adopting from - the means by which they might fairly be obtained. If she continued. to hold aloof, she could not help the twin despot ism, or prevent the humiliation of Russia, or the decided diminution of the over- Brown power of the AUTOCRA T . Th en it was all: bat e f dand ° u with deceitful h ear t and mendaci • r ere a herself into a positi on t o which she Naas wriggled no reason* able claim. We shall again take the very Words of our august Ally. His NIAJEsTY - says that situation the Cabinet of Vienna asked if we would consent to treat upon bases v iel u 3 y for mulated. B e f ore our su c cesses a ref usa l on our part seemed natural. Was it not t o be supposed, -forsooth, that the demands of France and England would increase in proportion to the greatness of. the struggle and of the .sacrifices already made ? Well, France and England did not turn their ndvantages to account, or even make the most of the rights given to them by previous treaties, EU much had they at heart to facilitate peace and to give an unchallengeableproof of their moderation." He then clearly and distinctly explains the nature o f the Four Point; proving beyond the possibility of a doubt or dispute, that the:Western Powers had no selfish object:, but that the two first points were conceived exclusively in the interests of Austria and Germany ; the third in the interests , )f humanity, and the fourth in that of the Porte and of Europe. Well might he term these pro positions "magnanimous, from their disinterested ness." They were unconditionally accepted by Rus approved of by Austria and Prussia, and yet R uss ia, notwithstanding that acceptance, has per emptorily refused every limitation to her naval f orc e, and " we have still to wait for Austria to fulfil her engagements which consisted in rendering our treaty offensive and defensive if the negotia tions failed." This is a significant sentence, and shows that the E3TPEROR. is perfectly aware of the just inter pretation of the Treaty of the 2d December, and resolved to insist on its strict and honourable ful filment. Austria must shake off her (espicable neutrality—she must be either for us or against us —must complete her engagements or endure the penalties of their violation. This is as it should be. This is setting a salutary example to our own Government. It shows that France will not submit to be made ridiculous for the sake of Germanism or Coburgism. Why should we do so, or refrain from pursuing an equally decided and honourable course ? It will be for Parlia ment to answer that question in the first instance. If the response be not satisfactory, the people must take the subject into their own hands at the next general election, or any earlier occasion that may arise. Should they be compelled to do so, it may startle the oligarchy and the " happy family of Downing-street." Although we cannot quite concur in Lord PAN3IURE'S propositions respecting the contem plated alterations in the pay and condition of private soldiers, we rejoice to find that the atten- tion of Government has been turned in that direction, and that there seems to be a decided inclitation to held out inducements to a better class of recruits to join the ranks. There is a general feeling that we should behave with greater liberality to those who are not merely risking life and limb in the service of their country, but who have endured the greatest pri vations and sufferings, through the carelessness or inefficiency of some of the departments, and of persons of high rank and position. We do not believe that the nation will object to the re wards off_Ted to its gallant defenders ; or, not withstanding its having made pecuniary sacrifices, will complain of the additional expenditure thereby occasioned. On the contrary, it will bail with in tense satisfaction the act of tardy justice, and only desire to see that the funds, cheerfully voted, are judiciously and properly applied, in a manner alike acceptable and beneficial to the recipients. Having thus stated our gratification, at the proposition, we must say that we are by no means equally pleased at the manner in which it has been brought forward, or some of the incidental regulations. On the first point we have always been accustomed to regard the popular represen tatives as the recognised and constitutional guardians of the public purse that no expense can be • properly incurred with out their sanction being first duly had and obtained. It is true that an emergency may arise during which Ministers must act on their own responsibility, trusting to the feelings of the House to confirm and sanction their acts or pro mises. But such steps should only be taken when the exigency is urgent, and there is no feasible opportunity for asking the opinions of the con trollers of the national expenditure in the first instance. But here the House was actually sitting at the very time when the announcement was made, which, as if to cast a studied slight on the representatives of the people, to mark how slightly their privileges were regarded by the re sponsible advisers, was delivered in another branch of the Legislature. This may be in accordance with the new-fangled doctrines of Germanism, which would not allow the people even to ques- tion the acts or remonstrate at the conclusions of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, but we boldly aver that it is not consonant to the spirit of the British Constitution, nor with the popular rights and privileges which our forefathers have on many occasions so sturdily and unflinchingly defended. Turning from the objectionable manner which may imperil a salutary measure let us consider 1 the propositions themselves, and see whether the amount of money required therefor might not be more judiciously and satisfactorily applied. The extra pay is not, it appears, to be given to the soldier, either on service or after his return home. It is to be invested in Savings Banks, and on his discharge paid over with the accumulations, and in addition to any pension he may be entitled to ; or, ou his death, handed over to his representa tives. Now, we do not think that soldiers will like being deprived of the immediate control over that which they have fairly and honourably earned. They may feel desirous not of squandering it in wanton and degrading dissipation, but in advanc ing the interests of their families, or of improving their own positions, and rendering themselves qualified for a more elevated station. Nor will they appreciate as a very high compliment the fact that they are to be treated as children, or convicts, not fit to be entrusted with the manage ment of their render th© own earnings. T o many it may service irksome. They will be anxious to gain the opportunity of spending their mon ey, while their c l a i ms to Jew, , manyof their actual r speculativ e ven d ors cheap lu xur i es for a tithewill value sell of But there is another part of the Noble Secre tary's plan th a t will more than counterbalance any supposed benefit, and • in Place of tempting the youth of the country to prefer profession will decidedly d ' the army as a deer them doing. In place of from so enabling married soldier s t o live with decen c y b y increasing the barrack accom modation for themselves and • wives, he is cc of those who think that the presence of en , Women in barracks may be altogether d dispense with „ • ' R e does not see " why soldi ers in barracks should not be able to do for themselves everything that i s ne ,, &wary." There is, in fact, to be no such tl • ling as married privates at all. Now, we must earnestly protest against this compulsory celibacy. W e d o not want an order of military priesthood, which we do not think would be in any degree conducive either to morality or discipline. We trust that the nation may emphatically protest against this most unjust and intolerable suggestion. The soldier has already to endure sufficient restriction s . We must remember that we are dealing with ordinary flesh and blood, subject to_.the passions of humanity, and not mere machines, who will °l2 ' e Y any regulations which a commanding officer may think fit to impose. B etter late than never ! At the 1a3! . , moment Lord Roazivr GROSVENOR has deemed it prudent to giv e up his detesta.blo Bill. ii , 'd he done so .1... on before, th e police atrocities in Sun dayHyde-par— could not have occurred, and we might have given him credit for having Withdrawn gracefully session o f th at true what he h a d advanced foolishl y , and for the Pos looks noble r th an wh il British couraue which never an error. e spontan eously admitting. All that can be said in his favour ,is,. he might - hi i . e . dOno worse, an out .oreilly or wicked bravado proceeded with the Bill. He will not be in a hurry, IV) imagine, to lead the Sab batarian van again. May his ignominious dis comfiture operate as a warning to legislative Lord lings for the future not to practise on the rights and liberties of the industrious poor ! Grievously to blame, however, as his Lordship is, the conduct of the Government, and more espe cially of the Premier and Sir GEORGE GREY, is still more reprehensible. Their political experi ence and presumed knowledge of their country men shculd have told them that so delicate a thing as Sabbath legislation ought not to be con fided to an inexperienced member, however well meaning. But even waiving this, the bill once introduced, instead of playing, as they have done, fast and loose, it was their duty to have distinctly pronounced their intentions with respect to it ; and by no chance ought a flippant remark, or any careless expression respecting the bill, to have escaped them. It is no exaggeration to say that the unprincipled vacillation of Ministers had by no means an illegitimate, though most unconsti tutional and disgraceful, issue in the police bruta lities of Hyde Park. The liberties and comforts —nay, the means of living of hundreds of thou sands, were a matter beneath their serious consi deration, unless it could be converted into a means of securing political support. But let the people, the over-burdened, much-enduring people murmur, and meet to proclaim their impatience of further wrong, and into the pocket goes the ivory toothpick, away flies the insidious smile, and post haste the Police Marshal is sent for, and booked for the plan of a Sunday's campaign ! Heartlessness and vacillation are near of kin to cruelty, and we will not be surprised to find that the Home-office may fairly share the honours of the "Bludgeoning of the Serpentine " with Sir RicHer.n and his myrmidons. At all events the proceedings a t the Marlborough Police-court lend considerable colour to this notion. The prisoners who had been savagely assaulted and taken into custody for a word or a look, or for nothing at all, as the case might be, were kept waiting for several hours in a room, a sort of Blackhole, " crowded to suffocation," until the Home-office would condescend to appear by deputy and declare their intentions, the police outside agreeably employing the interval in bludgeoning the excited crowd in front of the office. Anything more disgraceful to Government can hardly be conceived. It is quite evident they were unde cided to the last what to do, never troubling themselves with a consideration of the rights of the prisoners, and possibly puzzled by the trivial nature of the evidence—for with all their libe rality of detail the police chiefly succeeded in mak ing out a case against themselves. The stones thrown, wefancy, are generally speaking, still where they used to be in Hyde-park, or in what other arena policemen of imp. ,ination and taste disport. Our opinion, formed on observation and general report, is only confirmed by the evidence, that the people, men, women, and children were reck lessly and brutally assailed, and that nothing but their good sense and good feeling could have pre vented a serious riot—a collision which the police bad adopted the most efficient measures to pro voke. Let the blame, however, ultimately be distributed as it may, one thing is certain : there must be a thorough inquiry into the affair, for the more it is considered the more serious it looks. DRURY LANE THEATRE. Last night Miss Lucy Escott, an American lady, made her first appearance at this theatre. The opera chosen for her debut was Rossini's magnificent composition, La Donna del Lago. The part sustained by her was that of Elena, and the manner in which she acquitted herself left nothing to be desired. Her appearance is youthful and pleating. Her figure is small and slight, but very elegant, and her voice, a high soprano, em bracing the complete octaves. It is remarkably clear and flexible, and her intonation is beautifully true. The style in which she executed the first air " 0 matutini albori" at once secured her position, and the audience were completely carried away by her execution of this air, and from this point until the close of the opera the performance was one continued triumph. Miss Huddart's Malcclm Grmme was remarkably fin e . Signor Arrnandi and Mr. H. Braham, as Roderick Dhu and Douglas, were very good. The opera has been got up with remarkable care, and the gathering of the clans at the termination of the second act was as good as anything we have seen. The depth of the stage showed a ravine in the Highlands by moonlight, filled with clansmen of the black .Roderick, and the bard chorus of harpers produced an effect that quite electrified the audience. At the termination of the opera Miss Escott was called for, and was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The house was crowded to ex cess, yet, notwithstanding the immense number of per sons congregated, not the least inconvenience was felt, so beautifully has this theatre been ventilated by the in defatigable lessee, who omits nothing that conduces to the ccutifort of his patrons. His benefit, we observe, is fixed f.)r to-morrow night ; the simple announcement of the fact will, we feel confident, be sufficient to secure him an overflowing audience, HAYMARKET THEATRE. _~_ To-morrow is an "Autho r ' s n i g h t " at this theatre. An author's nightis nowadays quite a novelty, and the revival of the good old custom is to be attributed to Mr. Buckstone, who, anxious to restore t,, the writers of new plays the advantage of what was formerly termed an "Author's Night," has fixed to-morrow evening's entertainment for the benefit of Mr. John Saunders, the accomplished author of Love's Martyrdom. We hope the public will second the indefatigable exertions of the lessee to revive the novelty, Tne bill of fire is most attractive ; it 'consists of the author's new play, the fas cinating Spanish dancers, and Mr. Buckstoue's last new farce. SURREY THEATRE. The success that has up to the present moment at• tended the operatic season at this theatre is without pre c:!dent. Since the present season commenced we have had a succession of favourite operas, all executed in a style not to be exceeded. On Monday night the famous opera of Robert the Devil was produced, and created quite a furore. The celebrated scene, the resuscitation of the nuns, was beautifully managed, and the dancing of Madame Auriol elicited the most enthusiastic ap plause. The greatest treat on Saturday evening was Flex more's irresistibly com i c b a ll e t, Th e Dancing -Scotchman, and each evening that it is performed the celebrated mime and his cara spousa receives a perfect ovation. Flexnaore keeps the house in a roar of laughter from be ginning to end. The performances close every evening. this week with a farce, which embraces the talent of G. Yarnold and Miss Featherstone. We hear that various novelties are in active preparation, but, judging from the immense crowds that nightly flock to this theatre, we should say novelty, for the present at least, is not needed, His ARRIVAL OP THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. tarY, M.

(Tills DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) William, James Al arden, 30, a genteel looking young man, pleaded guilty to two indictment; charging him with uttering forged cheques knowing them to be forged. In answer to questions put to the prisoner by the learned judge, he stated that Oistress and poverty had driven him to commit the crime. He had tried in every possible manner to obtain employment, but was unable to do so. The Recorder made some inquiries of the Rev. J. K.. Jennings, who was the prosecutor in one of the cases, and he stated that the father of the prisoner was a cler gyman and an old college friend of his, and on that account he took an interest in him and was induced to cash the forged instrument for him. He was assured from what he had heard that for the last six months the prisoner had got his living by passing forged cheques. The prisoner said that he had been engaged as assist ant in a school, but latterly he had been employed to sell books on commission. The utmost he could earn at this occupation was half a crown a day, and this was all he and his wife had to subsist upon. He requested the Court to read some certificates relating to his conduct at college which he handed up to the bench. His lordship having perused the documents, said he should like to make some further inquiries before he passed sentence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY.) THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION. This morning the excitement outside the court ap peared to be increased rather than diminished by the apprehensions which took place yesterday, and the crowds of people were overwhelming. The shouts which arose from amongst them were in cessant, and assumed the form or► derision whenever a policeman made his appearance. Some soldiers who wended their way through the concourse during the morning were saluted with the greatest enthusiasm. In the court itself, according to the suggestion of Mr. Hardwick, yesterday, that the prisoners should be classi fied according to the nature of their offences, the arrange ment was made as follows :-11 for being riotous, 5 for being riotous and obstructing the police in the execution of their duty, 19 for throwing stones, 10 for assaulting the police, and 3 for attempting to pick pockets. The remainder of the prisoners were unconditionally dis charged last night. The night charges having been disposed of, which oc cupied until very nearly 1 o'clock, A pause ensued, during which Mr. Clarkson, the counsel for the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury ; and Mr. Herring, Mr. Howell, and Mr. Ballantine, the advocates for the prisoners, entered the Court. The first prisoners placed at the dock were—Wm. Reynolds, 19, George Carter, 18, John Hotham, 17, Jas. Caboro, 40, Geo. Pooley, 25, Richard Barnwell, 40, and some other prisoners, who were charged with being riotous in Hyde-park on Sunday. Mr. Clarkson, with regard to these offenders, said, that as those prisoners had no been guilty of individu tl vlolt nee, nor of assaulting the police, the Government, after what had taken place in the House of Commons last evening—namely, the withdrawal of the obnoxious bill which had, no doubt, led to the assemblage of people in Hyde Park—were not desirous of pressing any char g e against them. He (Mr. Clarkson) was, however, in structed to ask the worthy magistrate to point out to the offenders the impropriety, as well as the illegality, of persons assembling in such a manner for such a purpose. Mr. Ballantine commended the course the Govern ment had taken in the matter ; but complained that so many respectable persons had been incarcerated in pri son for so long a time without any charge being finally brought against them. He also observed that he for one would never yield the right of Englishmen to meet in public places, if they conducted themselves decently, for the purpose of expressing their opinions with regard to any legislative enactment. Mr. Herring, on behalf of the prisoner Barnwell, said he had two witnesses in court to prove that he was ap prehended Without having committed the slightest offence. Mr. Hardwick, after commenting very forcibly, not only upon the impropriety, as well as illegality, of large bodies of peop e assembling together for such purposes as those which actuated the populace on Sunday, and pointing out the evil consequences to which such gather ings very frequently led, ordered the prisoners to be dis charged, with a caution as to their future conduct. Charles Preston, Lewis Brown, John Chambers, Wm. Sutton, WM. Hiscott, Alfred Wright, John Hum phreys, James Wayle, Robert Garrett, George Bryce, Henry Lille, Morris Tobin, Thos. Leech, Charles Ward, Chas. Jones, Chas. Redford, Thos. Hamilton, William Smith, and Win. Clement were next placed at the bar, charged with being riotous and throwing stones. Mr. Clarkson said the persons before the magistrate would have to be dealt with by him (Mr. Hardwick) in the usual manner, but the Government was not desirous of pressing the charge severely against them, With regard to the police, he wished to say, in justice to that body, that they never drew their staves until after they had made an entreaty to the people to be quiet. Mr. Ballantine said he was anxious that matters should now subside. He was glad the cause of the de monstration had been done away with, and with that he was desirous that its effect should also cease. There could be no doubt, however, that had not this excite ment taken place, the bill it was intended to condemn would by this time have passed into law. (Cheers in Court.) He was not saying this to create exciternert, on the contrary—but at the same time the House of Commons had allowed the objections to the bill to be valid and reasonable, and the measure had been withdrawn. As this matte' had been substantially ended, and as the House of Commons had rather sanctioned than condemned these proceedings, he appealed to the magistrate, and not so much to him as to those conducting the prosecution, whether the matter had nut now gone far enough, and whether the same leniency ought not to be shown to the prisoners at the bar, as had been shown to the others. Clarkson repeated what he had befre said, that he did not wish on the part of the prosecution to urge anything unduly against the prisoners, otherwise than that the real nature of their offences should he pointed out to them. After some consultation, Mr. Hardwick commenced hearing the evidence of the police against the prisoners, which was being proceeded with when our report was despatched. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

LATEST NEWS. tPENING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS. SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR We have received the text of the speech de livered by the Emperor of the French on the opening of the Legislative Assembly yesterday, the 2d inst. It is as follows : " Messieurs les Senateurs, " Messieurs le Deputes,— " The diplomatic negotiations commenced during the course of our last sessioa, already made you foresee that I should be obliged to call you together when they came to a 'termination. Un happily the Conferences of Vienna have failed in procuring peace, and I come again to appeal to the patriotism of the country and to your own. Were we wanting in moderation in settling the conditions ? I do not fear to examine the ques tion before you. " One year already had passed since the com mencement of the war, and already France and England had saved Turkey, gained two battles, forced Russia to evacuate the Principalities, and to exhaust her forces in the defence of the Crimea. We had, moreover, in our favour the adhesion of Austria and the moral approbation of the rest of Europe. " In that situation the Cabinet of Vienna asked us if we would consent to treat upon bases vaguely formulated. Before our successes a refusal on our part seemed natural. Was it not to be supposed, forsooth, that the demands of France and Eng land would increase in proportion to the greatness of the struggle and of the sacrifices already made ? " Well, France and England did not turn their advantages to account, or even make the most of the rights given to them by previous treaties, so much had they at heart to facilitate peace and to give an unchallengeable proof of their moderation, " We restricted ourselves to ask, iu the interests of Germany, the free navigation of the Danube, and a breakwater against the Russian flood which continually obstructed the mouths of that great river. "We demanded, in the interests of Austria and of Germany, a better constitution fur the Danu bian Principalities, that they might serve as a barrier against these repeated invasions of the North. " We demanded, in the interest of humanity and of justice, the same guarantees for the Chris tians of every confession under the exclusive pro- tection of the Sultan. " In the interests of the Porte, as well as in those of Europe, we demanded that Russia should limit to a reasonable degree, sufficient to shield her against any attack, the number of her ships in the Black Sea, a number which she could only maintain with 'an aggressive object. " Well, all these propositions, which I may call magnanimous from their disinterestedness, and which were approved in principle by Austria, by Prussia, and by Russia herself, have evapo rated in the Conferences. " Russia, who had consented, in theory, to put an end to her preponderence in the Black Sea, has refused every limitation of her naval forces, and we have still to wait for Austria to fulfil her engagements, which consisted in render ing our treaty of alliance offensive and defensive if the negotiations failed. " Austria, it is true, proposed to us to guaran tee with her by treaty the independence of Tur key, and to consider for the future as a casus belli an increase of the number of Russian ships of war exceeding that before the commencement of hostilities. "To accept such a proposition was impossible, for it in no manner bound Russia ; and, on the contrary, we should apparently have sanctioned her preponderance in the Black Sea . by treaty. " The war had to follow its course. " The admirable devotion of the army and navy will, I trust, soon lead to a happy result. It is for you to provide me with the means to continue the struggle. " The country has already shown what resources it has at its command, and the confidence it places in me. " Some months since it offered me 1,700,000,000 f. more than I demanded. A portion of that sum will suffice to maintain its military honour and its rights as a great nation. " I had resolved to go and place myself in the midst of that valiant army, where the presence of the Sovereign could not have failed to produce a happy influence, and, a witness of the heroic efforts of our soldiers, I should have been proud to lead them ; but serious questions agitated abroad, which have always remained pending, and the na ture of circumstances demanded at home new and important measures. It is, therefore, with/egret that I abandoned the idea. " My Government, will propose to you to vote the annual Recruitment Bill; there will be no ex traordinary levy, and the bill will take the usual course necessary for the regularity of the admi nistration of a recruitment bill. " In conclusion, gentlemen, let us pay here, solemnly, a just tribute of praise to those who fight for the country ; let us mingle our regrets for those whose loss we have to deplore. " So great an example of unselfishness and con stancy will not have been given in vain to the world. " Let us no% be discouraged by the sacrifices which are necessary, for, as you are aware, a na tion must either abdicate every political character, or, if it possesses the instinct and the will to act conformably to its generous nature, to its histori cal traditions, to its providential mission, it must learn how to support at times the trials which alone can reteinper, it, and restore it to the rank which is its due. " Faith in the Almighty, perseverance in our efforts, and we shall obtain a peace worthy of the alliance of two great nations." THE BALTIC FLEET. OFF CRONSTADT, JUNE 25. The Blenheim and Exmouth, and two gun-boats that left the fleet on the 16th to reconnoitre the mouth of the river Narva, returned on the 19th. The heavy firing I mention having heard when I closed my last letter proceeded from them. At the river's mouth they found a small fort which opened fire upon them, but which they soon silenced by dismounting two of the guns and throwing a few 121 b. rockets into it. The Exmouth was not touched, but the Blenheim received two shot, one in the main-top and the other in the mizen topmast head, a splinter from which, in falling on deck, slightly wounded Capt. Searle, R.N. One round shot glanced off the bow of the gunboat Snap, and another made a dent in her side and then fell into the water. There is a large village on the left bank of the river full of soldiers, but a sand bar, which runs across the entrance, makes it so shallow that only gunboats could cross it. The town. of Narva is eight miles up the river, is strongly fortified, and full of troops. About 8 p.m. (19th) the Majestic hove in sight, and was recalled from watching Cronstadt. 20th.—At 8 a.m. a general signal was made to prepare for sea, get up steam at slow speed, and shorten in cable. At 10 all the fleet got under way, and proceeded to the eastw&rd, with the ex ception of the French corvette D'Assas, which parted company for --. The Commander-in-Chief keeps his own counsel so well that not a hint of any movement in the fleet is known until the mo ment it happens. Nobody had the least idea we were to return to Cronstadt so soon, but about 3 o'clock p.m., when we were over our old an choring groun, three miles west of the Tolboukin Lighthouse, the fleet divided into two divisions, the first consisting of the Duke of Wellington, Ex mouth, Nile, Cressy, Orion, James Watt, Dragoon, Vulture, Merlin, and eight gun-boats, and French ships Tourville, Austerlitz, and Isis, continued their course along the north side of the Island until they anchored within five miles of the town and shipping of Cronstadt, and in sight of the domes and spires of St. Petersburg. The second divi sion, consisting of the Royal George, Caesar, Ma jestic, Blenheim, and Duquesnes (French) an chotecl as o, reserve in mid-channel between the lighthouse and the opposite coast. The enemy, perhaps, never anticipated so bold a step as bringing line-of-battle ships up the mrth si le and so close to the arsenal, but was in every way pre pared. for smaller vessels. Another of the infernal machines exploded under the Vulture to-day, just as she was anchoring, and another as she was swinging to her cable. The first was rather a severe shock, smashing everything in the galley, making the old cook run faster than he has done for many years, and throwing the 68 lb. shot out of their racks, but doing no further damage. The enemy has not been idle while we were away. Another two-decker has completed her rigging, and shows an enormous red funnel, but whether she has engines or not is doubtful, for no smoke has been seen to come out of it. The steam gunboats have been increased in number from 15 to 21, another two-decker has been added to the line of hulks along the three-fathom bank to protect the northern entrance, and the earthern batteries along the coast have been completed, and look very great. As soon as we anchored the gunboats got up steam, and continued for two or three hours car rying.men from the town to the hulks, from which it appears they are not always kept fully manned. 21st—This morning each ship commenced sweep ing for the infernal machines, and before night gathered in a capital harvest of them. The way in which the sweeping is done is this—two boats take between them a long rope, which is sunk to the depth of 10 or 12 feet by means of weights, and held suspended at that depth by lines attached to small casks, which float on the surface at intervals of 40 or 50 yards ; the boats then separate as far as the rope will allow them, and pull in parallel lines until one of the casks stops behind, which tells them, as a fishing float tells the angler, that they have caught something ; the two boats then ap proach each other, keeping the rope taut, then haul it in carefully, and up comes the machine. The Exmouth found the first, the Nile the second, and then the catching became so numerous that in some instances two at a time were hauled up. Each machine consists of a cone of galvanised iron, 16 inches in diameter at the base and 20 inches from base to apex : it is divided into three chambers, the one near the base being largest and containing air causes it to float with the base uppermost. In the centre of this chamber is another, which holdsatube with a fuse in it and an apparatus for firing it. This consists of two little iron rods, which move in guides, and are kept projected over the side of the base by springs, which press them outwards. When anything pushes either of these rods inwards it strikes against a lever, which moves like a pendu lum, in the fuse tube, and the lower end of the lever breaks or bends a small leaden tube, con taining a combustible compound, which is set on fire by coming in contact with some sulphuric acid held in a capillary tube, which is broken at the same time, and so fires the fuse, which commu nicates with the powder contained in the cham ber at the apex of the cone, and which holds about 91b. or 101 b. At the extreme apex is a brass ring, to which is attached a rope and some pieces of granite, which moor them about nine or ten feet below the surface, so that the only vessels they could hurt, the gun-boats float quietly over th em , and now we know what they are they have been disarmed of all their dread. 23d.—At mid-day on Saturday the Admirals and Master of the Fleet proceeded in tho Merlin ac companied by the Dragon, to reconnoitre to the eastward. They approached so near the block ships that a gun boat at anchor between two of them fired two shots at the Merlin, which fell about 150 yards from her ; the Russians are evi dently aware that is their weakest point, and it is a point which cannot be strengthened except by shipping. 24th.—The weather is very hot and sultry. Thirty-three of the infernal machines have been picked up, one of them of a rather different con struction. A cluster of four were discovered to the bows of the Duke of Wellington. 25th.—This morning seven or eight two-masted vessels were observed creeping along the northern shore ; the Dragon and a gunboat were sent in to intercept them, and have not yet returned. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The following telegraphic despatcher has been received : "BERLIN, Ist.—The Invalide Russe gives the following return of the losses admitted by the Rus sians themselves in the affair of the 7th :—Number hors de combat, 2,947. The killed were, 1 general (General Timofigeff), 4 superior officers, 27 sub altern officers, and 501 soldiers ; the wounded-11 superior officers, 69 subalterns, 2,334 soldiers. According to the journal, there were in the attack on Taganrog 1.1 inhabitants killed, 24 wounded, 69 houses destroyed, 148 burned down, and 1,224,000 tschetwerts of wheat destroyed. (This measure is 195 litres." " MARSEILLES, July 2.—A letter from Constan tinople of the 25th says : " 'The Thabor met off Tenedos the Navarin, hav ing the Great Republic in tow. 2,000 woundod have arrived here. Captain Lyons was buried to day with great pomp. A violent fire has broken out in the capital and destroyed 3,000 houses. Abd-el-Kader has returned to Broussa ; shocks of earthquake were still felt there, but urgent busi ness required his presence. Colonel Termer has died at the hospital. The mail from Kamiesh of the 22d has not arrived. The siege against the Malakhoff Tower was still going on with great vigour. It is said that Capitaine do Fregate Bon nard has been wounded.' " The Government demands a new loan of seven hundred and fifty million francs. It proposes an impost of one -tenth on produce, and on the revenue accruing from the carriage of passengers and goods by railway. • 140,000 men of the class 1855 are called under arms.

Information had been received of the arrival at Sak of a considerable body of Russian infantry, amounting, it is said, to 30,00.) men, which, added to the infantry, and the 15 regiments of cavalry already in the neighbourhood of Eupa toria, would make a rather formidable force. No alarm was,, however, felt by the garrison, and everything was ready to give the enemy a very warm reception." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg of 23d ult. says : —" General Read has been nominated comman der-in-chief of the troops at Nicolaieff, who, it is now stated, amount to 65,000. Ismail and Bender are being fortified. General Luders has returned to Kischeneff. Letters from Simpheropol represent that the road from Perekop to that place is literally covered by uninterrupted lines of vehicles containing stores and ammunition, and of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The letters, how ever, complain that provisions were dear, though they pretend that the Crimea has received supplies sufficient to last through the winter. As the Tartars now require 15 or 20 roubles a month for work for which they were formerly content with 5, 3,000 peasants have been sent from the neighbourin g provinces to undertake the labours of the harvest. A line of electric telegraph has been opened be tween Odessa and St. Petersburg, and before long telegraphic communications will be established between St. Petersburg and Sebastopol. Troops, consisting principally of regiments of the 2d, 3d, and sth corps d'armec, with artillery, are being sent incessantly from Odessa to Nicolaieff, and thab town is full of soldiers. The corps of grenadiers has joined General Luders, and has made his army an imposing one. The Musical Union will hold its last meeting on Tues day next. The Earl of Westmoreland, vice-president of the institution, -is daily expected in London from Vienna. The Duperre, line-of-battle ship, left Toul,,n on the 30th ult. for Constantinople with stores and ammunition for the army. The Piemonte of Turin announces that, on the 24th ult., the Tribunal of the Sacred Consulta at IZ9me una nimously sentenced Defelici (the man who attempted the life of Cardinal Antcnelli) to death.

No. V. --~- - THE SUFFRAGE. Vox populi vox Del. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. erectin g a building for endurance there is nothing like the Egyptian style of architecture. The Pyramids have stood the wrack of ages be cause they are founded on a mighty base. It has often been attempted to liken our own political edifice to the works of the Pharoahs, but it is a mistake. A bastard order has been substi tuted for it, and therefore requires constant inter meddling. Ours is nut built on the deep and broad foundation of au united people. There is no so lidity in its arcades and columns of all sizes a nd patterns—from the ponderous bulwark of the West Riding to the slender prop of Arundel or Wilton. It is hollow, irregular, wanting cohesion, and affording openings fur further dislocations. The rats can riot in its cavities, and the moles have space to turn up their little hills, and loosen the soil in which the whole is embedded. Whereas, if unit touched unit, side by side, shoulder to shoulder, layer after layer, in ever-ascending gradation—no break, no hollow, until it terminated in the chief magistrate at the apex—the solid earth itself must be shaken from its centre before the superincunr bent mass . could totter or fall. I do confess I love a consistent theory, and though the action of the social compact is to a great extent a series of compromises, yet we must ever approximate towards sound principles to secure safety—as in nature everything tends to an equi librium, though there is frequent disturLance of the general balance. This is the vital, regulating principle we should strive to infuse into our con' stitution—a capacity of self-adjustment and resto ration to order. Equal justice must be the founda tion, and truth the cement for an abiding state. Where slavery is—where gross political inequality exists—where the unities are disregarded, there is and must be discontent, revolution, and overthrotr. Will any one examine the present state of the suffrage, and say there is not g ross i nequa li ty an d social degradation antagonistic to contentment. Ashton has 29,791 inhabitants, and 937 electors ; Birmingham, 232,811 people, and only 7,936 free of the constitution. The same relative numbers are, for Bolton 1 in 36, Devonport 1 in 24, Exeter 1 in 16, Finsbury 1 in 15, Hull 1 in 16, Leeds 1 in 26, and Portsmouth 1 in 22—the proportions of free men to the entire population. Leaving out women and children, what is there in the fact of 1 man in 10 having a 40s. freehold, or r. rating a 10 1 . house, that entitles him (logically) to say, or any one for him, to the other 9—Stand aside, for I wiz worthier than ye ? It is an insult, an impertinence, and a crying injustice. If the injury were merely on paper it probably would be endured, so little are we prone to change ; but it is not—it touches the every-dal things of life, and meddles with the Sabbath. It seals up to the people our museums and galleries, as it would the rail and the river. It closes the Crystal Palace, to whip the wearied mechanic or shop-boy to the drawling dullness of some apoplee' tic vicar. And not content with all this, the nominees of the minority of a State, professedly representative, attempt to apply their power to the thraldom of nineteen-twentieths of those who hall no part in them ; and with sneaking hypocrisy anu, disgusting ca n t, w hi ne an d d r i ve over, curb an d curtail the Sunday dinner and .excursion, the necessary refreshment of the poor mechanic, worily weary, and exhausted with the labours of a week while they tolerate Tattersall's betting in church hours, allow Hy de Park to be thronged with car' riages, the clubs to provide their costly dainties; and aristocratic luxury to be indulged unchecked in the eye of day, on that special one which they profess to be so sacred in the case of the poor. Woe unto ye, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites that bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, on the necks of the poor, which ye will not so much as touch with your little finger ! No wonder that, exasperated with such sick ( ); Agnewism, the spirit of endurance gave w a y, and the harassed multitud e u pb ra id e d t h e se l f-conv i c ted desecrators with their own defalcations. " GOI church—go to c h urc h " ye s i nners in Satin all Saxony : rest y our h orses , your men - servants, a id your maid servants ; eat cold mutton, or mortiff, yourselves with fasting, and then come and 0 1 '1 to us about keeping holy the Sabbath d ay, an d no t till then. In a representative state any thing that stop s short of the full development of the theory is at best a sacrifice t o ex p e di ency, an d may b e au o ffer' ins to injustice. It is said you must draw a line somewhere ; cannot enfranchise women and children. As to the first, I pass that with a query ; but the secon d is no parallel, as all children are t rea t e d a lik e. one child of any age was allowed a vote, other° would have equal right. It is because he is an infant and presumed incapable that he is une ir franchised, not because h e i s , as a child, rich ? t „ poor ; but among men th e f ree d om i s g i ven not r him as a man, b u t as a man o f property.
