The house sat to-day for the purpose of hearing ap peals. The peers in attendance were the Lord Chancel lor, Lord St. Leonards, the Earl of Harrington, and Lord Auckland. WRIGHT V. SCOTT. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occu pied their lordships the whole morning. PRIVY COUNCIL. The Lords of the Privy Council, members of the Judi cial Committee, sat to-day in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, for the purpose of hearing petitions for the extension of patents and appeals. NORMANDY'S PATENT. The petitioners came before their ; lordships on the behalf of Dr. Normandy, who had invented and obtained a patent for the manufacture of soap. The object of the petitioner was to have an extension of the patent on the ground that the patentee had tot made any pro fits by his patent, although its value was undoubted. Their lordships, after hearing counsel and witnesses, de cided upon extending the patent for three years. The lords in attendance were the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, the Lord Justice Turner, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, (the Right Hon, Thos. Pemberton Leigh) and Sir Edward Ryan. THE GREAT INTERCEPTING SEWERAGE QUESTION. From a valuable report, ordered by the Court of Commissioners of Sewers and prepared by Dr. Sayer, containing important calculations as to the best means of raising funds to the amount of 5,000,0001., for the purpose of improving and extending the drainage of the metropolis and carrying out the great works of inter ception, with a view to the purifica:ion of the Thames, it appears that the commissioners have resolved thatthe health and! welfare of the metropolis require that the sewage and drainage, instead of being allowed to flow with daily increasing pollution into the bed of the Thames, should be transferred north of the river to Barking-creek and south thereof to or below Plumstead marshes. The accomplishment of this colossal under taking being for the benefit of the present and future generations, it is urged that the amount of a general sewer-rate should be such as to bear as moderately as possible on the present and future ratepayers ; the money required should be raised at the lowest rate of interest per annum, with the greatest economy, and in the most eligible manner for liquidation ; and, finally, the period when the progressive liquidation is to be completed should be neither too proximate nor too remote. A small general annual metropolitan and City of London maintenance sewer-rate will be all that the ratepayers will have to bear. A general equal and annual pound rate of fourpence, assessed and levied by the act of Parliament, on the 1854 gross metropolitan assessment, 9,484,9451., and on all future increments thereof, and on the 1854 gross city of Lon . don sewer-rate assessment, rental 1,241,2801., and on all future increments thereof, will supply ample means to pay the annual interest of 3,500,000/. (the amount required for the interception works) proposed to be raised by the issue and sale on the Stock-exchange, from time to time as the money may be required, of "Metropoli tan and City Sewers Bonds," and to pay off 3,500,0001. by the gradual purchase of the bonds in the money market. Then, withdrawn from public circulation, the bonds will fructify at the rate of interest at which they were issued, and at compound interest, for the benefit of the metropolitan and city of London ratepayers, until, in unison with the decrease of the annual pound rate, they may be cancelled, and in a less period than sixty years the liquidation will be accomplished. It will appear that the maximum limit of the an nual pound rate need not exceed fourpence. The esti mated outlay for the metropolitan and city of London sewage and drainage intersecting and outfall works amounts to 3,000,0001.; allowing 500,0001. for extensions north and south of the Thames, additions and contingen cies, the probable amount of outlay may be 3,500,000/. The annual charge, after completion of the works, fuel for steam pumping lifts, wear and tear, management, collector's poundage, &c., is assumed not to exceed 30,000/. According to the rate of interest at which the 3,500,0001. may be raised, the total amount to be provided for by the metropolitan and city of London ratepayers will be, at Si. per cent. per annum (the highest calculation), 205,0001., or at 32 per cent. per annum (the lowest calculation), 152,5001. These annual charges are proposed to be met by a general • and equal pound rate on the gross metropolitan and city of London assessment (10,726,2251). At 4/d. (to meet the highest calculation) the amount raised by assessment would be 212,2871., giving a surplus of 7,2871. over the total amount of in terest at 5 per cent.; at 31d. (to meet the lowest calcula tion)the amount raised by assessment would be 156,4221., giving a surplus of 3,9221. over the total amount of in terest at 31d per cent. To the increase of the popula tion of London, it is presumed, may be left to pay off the principal, 3,500,003/.; for, assuming 2,0001. to be the future annual increase upon the gross assessment (which is a too moderate estimate), the total amount for 60 years, exclusive of all interest during that period, would be 3,660,0001., being 160,0001,, more than sufficient to pay off the sum required to carry out the whole of the works for the interception of the sewage and drainage of the metropolis, and for the outfall works north and south of the river. The Metropolitan and City of London Sewers Bonds it is proposed to divide thus :-10,000 bonds, 100/. each, representinu, 1,000,0001. ; 5,000 bonds, 2001. each, representing 1,001,0001. ; 3,000 bonds, 5001. each, representing 1,500,0001. ; total bonds, 18,000; total amount represented, 3,500,000/, These bonds to be issued in series as funds may be re quired, irredeemable for such terms of years as may now be determined, and at the rates of annual in terest the market value of money may bear at the times of issue. The total outstanding amount of moneys, the produce of loans or annul ties raised by former commissions, is 292,4751., to which debt no addition has been made by the present commis- sion. From Jan. 1, 1849, to December 31, 1854, the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers have built 163 miles 576 cubic feet of public sewers, and 366 miles 4,629 feet of private sewers, at an oatlay of 821,3441. 15s. lid., and the total cost for management of 126,9181. 19s. 5d., the ratio is 151. 9s. per cent. ; on the total out lay the ratio is 11/. 7s. sd. per cent. There are yet urgently required about 400 miles of sewers, in which are included about 20 miles of old sewers which the pre sent rated area so defective as to require rebuilding. The probable cost is estimated at 1,500,0001. and this amount it is proposed to raise by the issue of 11,725 1001., 2001., and 5001. bonds, upon the same principle as those representing the 3,500,0001. ; the total amount raised being, therefore, as at first stated, up wards of 5,000,000/. The whole of this would be paid off in less than 60 years were loss than half of the ave rage increment of the last five years to be the uniform rate of future increase, since, without interest, 3,000/. increase per annum yields in 60 years 5,490,0001., and the average annual increment has been 6,1311. When compound interest is considered the period will be much shortened. Great works carried on at Paris and in the depart ment of the Seine are supported by funds raised under the authority of the Legislature by the public sale of Obligations de Ia Ville de Paris, or Obligations du De part4ment de la Seine. These bonds are for 1000 f. (about 401.) each. The system has been found to work extremely well, the bonds passing freely and untaxed by stamps or transfer fees from seller to buyer. Every day the Exchange-list gives the quotation of their market value when sales take place. This, in truth, is the sys tem recommended by the report to be applied to the exigencies of this great metropolis. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

Tho returns of the Bank of France for the past month are again extremely unfavourable, the stock of bullion showing a diminution to the remarkable extent of 3,340,0001., making a total falling off within the last three or four months of more than 5,000,0001.—a drain which fully accounts for the recent tendency to depres sion in the rate of exchange and the call for remittances from this side. Its natural effects, however, have, in a great degree, been prevented from manifesting them selves by a further increase of 1,000,0001. in the note circulation. The other items of the account comprise an increase of 2,850,000/. in the discounts, and of 360,0001. in the private deposits. On the whole, the statement is greatly calculated to depress the terms on which the new loan le likely to bo contracted. --- - , MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur day were firm for wheat, the prices of which advanced from is to 2s per quarter. There was a fair demand for barley, at extreme rates. Oats, beans, and peas were steady, and the value of the best flour had an upward ten dency. The latest accounts from New York state that the value of both wheat and flour was supported. Most of the Con tinental markets have been dull and drooping. ------ --- Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were limited. The imports of foreign amounted to 9,450 quarters of wheat, 7,564 barley, 49,987 oats, 577 peas, 317 tares, 1,249 linseed, 4,180 rapeseed, 109 sundry seeds, 2,592 sacks, and 155 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise from Essex and Kent. The receipts by land carriage were comparatively small. For all kinds, owing to the limited show of samples and the increased attendance of country buyers, the de mand ruled steady, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. The general condition of the samples was good. The imports of foreign wheat having been on a very mo derate scale, the supply of that grain on offer was far from extensive. Selected samples mcrved off readily, at 2s per quarter above the rates current on this day se'nnight ; whilst low and middling qualities were is per quarter dearer than on that day. Floating cargoes of grain sold to a fair extent, at very full prices. We had a fair show of barley. The trade, however, was firm, and the quotations were well supported. We had a dull sale for malt, at last week's quotations. Although the show of foreign oats was very extensive, the oat trade ruled steady. In prices very little change took place. Beans and peas realised previous rates, with a moderate inquiry. The flour trade was steady, and Norfolk qualities were rather dearer. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Most of our correspondents in the northern districts state that average supplies will be for warded to this market during the next six months, and that their quality will show an improvement over last year. Amongst the foreign stock exhibited to-day was 226 oxen from Oporto, via Southampton, in excellent condi tion ; but the total supply of foreign stock was very mode rate for the time of year. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were far from being extensive, and we observed a falling off iu their general weight and condition. On the whole, the demand for all breeds ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday last. The bat Scots were worth fully 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., we received 1,400 Scots and shorthorns; from Lincolnshire, &c., 1,100 shorthorns; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; from Scotland, 200 Scots ; and from Ireland, 91 heifers. There was about an average number of sheep on offer, but their quality was inferior. Prime breeds sold briskly, at extreme rates—the best Downs realiisog ss. per 81bs— otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Lambs—the show of which was moderate—changed hands to a fair extent, at full currencies, viz., 4s 8d to 6s per 81bs. There was less activity in the veal trade than on Fri day, yet prices ruled the same as on Monday last, the top quotation being 5s 2,1 per Sibs.

ORDNANCE SELECT COMMITTEE AND INVENTORS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The various difficulties in the way of introduc ing any discovery calculated to be of importance to the public weal can be known only by one who may have unfortunately made the attempt. Let us suppose for a moment an inventor to set about the " carrying out" process, so termed, and what has he to do! At the outset communications pass between first one and then another public functionary, till at last a com mittee of inquiry is instituted. If the invention be now adjudged of sufficient merit he is required, at his own expense, to establish, by a satisfactory trial, the particular advantage and utility of the discovery. I offer no protest against this proceeding, but I do say that an inventor in attempting it frequently finds him self unexpectedly thwarted and embarrassed by heavy ex penses, in consequence of which he fails to produce evi dence sufficient to secure its adoption, as approval merely does not entitle, according to the regulations of her Ma jesty's ordnance service, a consideration shown for any outlay which may have been incurred. I ask, Sir, is it fair that one member of the commu nity should suffer in his endeavours to benefit the whole ? Is it right that any discovery embracing the general good should fail of successful development, attributable to a circumstance which is altogether an accident of the social economy ? I may be allowed to instance the position in which I am at the present moment placed with respect to an asphyxiating agent, recently brought under the notice of the Ordnance Select Committee. The object contemplated by the use of such an agent in the general operations of war is certainly far more humane than either the bullet or the sword, as it would effect in many instances that which those could not— conquest without the loss of blood. Not the slightest doubt is entertained as to the prac tical value of the agent in question, but it remains for me to incur all the expenses which may be required to establish the fact to the satisfaction of the committee. I declare, sir, in all seriousness, that I would rather undertake to put the whole garrison of Sebastopol or Cronstadt hors de combat, and, I believe, the chances of my success would preponderate, than attempt to afford satisfactory evidence in any other way. I make these animadversions with all due respect, know ing that responsibility can only be partial where prero gative is not absolute, but decapitate that hydra-headed monster official routine, and all complaints will cease.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS CATTELL, M.D. Euston-square, July 12, 1855. HYDE PARK. The Sunday demonstrations in this park are unmis takably dying out, and in another week or two there will be no trace left of the commotion to which Lord Robert Grosvenor's ill-advised measure gave rise. Yes terday the number of people assembled showed a decided falling off, and the more respectable classes held them selves carefully apart from the crowds of urchins and thieves who had collected. Of course they did all in their power to get up a disturbance, rushing hither and thither, making as much noise as possible, and scurry ing away as soon as they came into collision with the police. Last Sunday they fixed on Hyde Park-corner as the most convenient spot for carrying on their opera tions. Yesterday the venue was changed to Albert-gate, where the mew French Ambassador had a not unfavour able opportunity of watching how we deal with street rows in London. Beyond a considerable amount of pocket picking very little mischief was done, and the number of offenders taken into custody tended power fully to check the disposition to riot. The police did not show in the park itself, but at different ontlets and in the neighbourhood they were mustered in ample force, while a mounted patrol kept up with the quick move ments of the mob, and prevented any serious injury to property being attempted. No carriages appeared in the drive, so that no facilities existed for getting up a disturbance, and we may fairly hope that next Sunday afternoon the park will present its usual peaceable as pect. All feeling of irritation towards the police has evidently subsided, and we have no doubt that they will now be heartily supported in establishing and maintain: ing good order. Two attempts-were made by the rabble yesterday to penetrate into Belgravia from Albert-gate, but both were promptly repulsed by the police, and the ringleaders arrested. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 15. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) HER MAJESTY'S YACHT VICTORIA AND ALBERT.— This splendid ship tried her rate of speed round the Isle of Wight On Friday, leaving Cowes Roadstead at 12 o'clock, and returning to the buoy at 20 minutes after 3, making the circuit of the island in 3 hours and 20 minutes, the distance steamed being 591 wiles by the log. Prince Albert and the King of the Belgians went on board her soon after her return, and the Queen on board the Fairy, when they steamed down to Sconce. The Royal party examined the fortifications and returned in the evening. The Victoria and Albert steamed round the Wight again on Saturday. On Sunday the Count de Flanders and the Princess Charlotte attended service at the Catholic Chapel at West Cowes. _ . ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—A. general meeting of the members of the squadron took place at the Squadron House, on Friday. Neither the Commo dore nor Vice-Commodore attending, the Marquis Conyngham was called to the chair. The following gentlemen were elected members :—Sir Richard Sutton, Bart., Fox screw steam-yacht, 300 tons ; Sir Edward Colebroke, Bart., Genevra schooner, 142 tons ; Berney Petra, Esq., Osprey cutter, 59 tons ; and Commander G-. T. Colville, R.N., an honorary member. Captain Hamlyn Williams, Sir H. Oglander, Bart., the Marquis of Bath, James Maxse, Esq., the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, H. Baring, Esq., the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis Conyngham, George Bentiuck, Esq., and several other members, are at the Squadron House. The Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta is fixed to com mence on Monday, August 13, on which day Prince Albert's Cup will be sailed for by schooners of the R.Y.S. under 200 tons. On Tuesday, 14th, the R.Y.S. annual dinner will take place at the Squadron House. On Wednesday, 15th, the R.Y.S. 1001. Cup, open to all yachts of the squadron, will be competed for. On Thursday, 16th, the R.Y.S. annual ball takes place. On Friday, 17th, her Majesty's Cup, value 100 guineas, will be sailed for by cutters and yawls under 100 tons. A display of fireworks will take place, on shore and afloat, in the evening. The days for the Town Regatta are not yet fixed. ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. FLEXMORE'S GRAND EXTRA NIGHL A grand " extra " night is fixed to take place here on Wednesday next, the 18th. The great feature in the performance will be that of those two favourites of the public, Flexmore and Madile. Auriol, who will both appear in the old, yet famous, ballet d'action of Don Juan. We have not had the pleasure of witnessing Don Juan since the death of the celebrated old Joey Grimaldi, as few performers have ventured to play the part of Scara mouch. We look upon Flexmore as the legitimate suc cessor of the King of Clowns, and therefore anticipate a rich and rare treat. The Don will be personated by the graceful Madlle. Auriol. The bill also contains other things equally good—viz., Courtenay's comedy of Time Tries All ; Dibden's never-dying Waterman, for Mr. St. Albin and Mr. G. Yarnold ; John Jones, in which Mr. G. Honey will appear ; selections from Norma, by Madile. Nau, and a variety of other attractions too nu merous for us to mention separately. Altogether the entertainment is one of that kind which it would be next to impossible to meet with except on occasions like the present. We have no doubt, from the many attractions brought forward, that the house will be a bump3r. WEST-END RUMOURS. If the gossip of the political circles may be credited, the dissension in the camp of King Agramante was as nothing compared with that which rages in the Cabi net. According to one report, it was resolved, after a stormy debate, on Saturday, to recommend her Majesty to accept of Lord John Russell's resignation. Accord ing to another, this resolution has been averted by the threatened resignation of the Chancellor of the Exche• quer and the Home Secretary. Some went so far yes terday as to affirm that these ministers had actually resigned, because Lord Palmerston had been prevailed upon to recommend the acceptance of Lord John's de mission. In the event of Lord John's resignation being ac cepted, it is understood that he will be succeeded in the Colonial-office by Sir William Molesworth. Sir Benja min Hall is spoken of for the Board of Works ; but it is not understood that the hon. baronet is to have a seat in the Cabinet. That promotion is reserved as a sop for a noble malcontent. The Board of Trade is said to have been offered to Mr. Laing, and declined by him. It appears that a kind of pressure from without has been brought to bear upon the Cabinet from two quar ters. One was by means of a declaration to which the names of fourteen members of the Government, not of the Cabinet, are said to have been appended, to the effect that they could not vote against Sir Bulwer Lyt ton's motion ; the other by means of the Ronnd-Robin, as mentioned by us on Saturday, to which the signa tures of some dozen Whig members of the House toof Commons were obtained, urging Lord Palrnersotoroca, accept Lord John's resignation.

There is really some prospect of little Rosey going the way of all flesh, or, for that matter, of all phantoms. We close the number leaving her at Boulogne-sur-Mer, in a delicate state of health. Let us hope that Mr. Thackeray is not deceiving us ; but that the next, and as it will unhappily prove the last, instalment of his serial will recount the death of Mrs. Clive New come. Otherwise than through her death, we can see no chance of any satisfactory denouement. Ethel can only advance to happiness across the little green hillock markiiag, the final resting-place of the silly and heartless niece of old James Binney —the toy of Clive, the pet of the Colonel, the "scared and fawning" puppet of the Cam paigner. Wherefore, we do earnestly hope that Rosey is going to die and that off-hand—so that the miseries surrounding our dear friends the New comes may be as speedily as possible dissipated. The crash has come, of course, and that with a. vengeance. The great Bundlecund Banking Com pany has broken up as thoroughly as a frost under a sudden thaw, or a school at the approach of the holidays, or we might more aptly term it b ro k e n down all at once like a spavin'd hack, or like any other rickety " firm" (so called by the rule of contra ries), such for example as the wonderful house of Strahan, Paul, and Bates. Our maelstrom of mis fortune has swallowed up in, gurgite 'vast° not only the entire fortune of our beloved Colonel, but with that the prospects of poor Clive and the hard cash of Rosey and the Campaigner. Re fuge is taken by the disconsolate family in that home of the destitute, and last covert of the hunted stag when at bay, Boulogne. There Arthur Pendennis follows them out of motives of sincere affection—to find both Clive and the Colo nel nearly broken-hearted, quite broken-spirited, bullied in season and out of season by the ever infamous and demoniac Campaigner. The sketch given by Pen of the appearance of that buxom widow, Mrs. Mackenzie—at a time when the dear old Colonel is so completely penniless as to be un consoled even by a casual cheroot, and Clive so poor that he stays his hunger with a pain de deux sous— is amazingly characteristic, and pencilled, too, with a minuteness of detail so marvellously spiteful, with the handsome India shawl, and her rich silk dress, and her smart gloves, and her neat parasol of blue with pale yellow lining, and her multipli city of rings, and her jewel on her forehead (Brum magem), and her gold watch and chain (Rosey's), and her gay bonnet, decorated with a profu sion of corn-ears, and poppies, and blue-bells ! Pho ! we can't wonder that poor Arthur is half choked as he affects to take his dinner, sitting by the side of the abominable wretch in the mean room of the mean alley of the Haute Ville, where the " low furious woman" is ever standing over the bravest and gentlest of men, Colonel Thomas Newcome, " stabbing the kind, defence less heart with killing insult and daily outrage." For the anguish of the narrative compressed within these pages descriptive of the sorrows and sufferings of poor Clive and his beloved old father, we can alone be consoled by Mr. Thackeray, tell ing us in the double number, which is to end the work in two or three weeks from the present time, that Rosey has expired under the effects of some rapid disease, and that Mrs. Mackenzie has broken her neck, or otherwise drawn her life to its de sirable close through the aid of some happy acci dent. When the Newcomes shall be finished with the dawn of August—we shall be solaced during the lapse of the ensuing autumn by the prospect of the new work to be commenced by our glorious Charles Dickens in November. THE FRENCH EXHIBITION. A dinner was given on Friday at the Palace of Industry by the Secretary-General of the Imperial Commission and the Commission-General to the commissioners of the foreign Governments and. some of the representatives of the foreign press. From 40 to 50 guests sat down to dinner. M. Arles-Dufour, the Secretary-General, presided. The Emperor's health was proposed by Mr. Henry Cole, the commissioner for England. Mr. Cole, who spoke in French, and at some length, was frequently interrupted by applause. The health of his Imperial Highness Prince Na poleon was proposed by M. do Viebahn, the Prus sion Commissioner, and was warmly responded te. " The Press" was given by M. Delamaro, director of the Patric. _ . So far as the exhibition itself is concerned it is but doing justice to the French Commission to say that, whatever may have been the defects when it opened, they have amply made up for lost time during the last month or six weeks. The change, indeed, is surprising ; order and regularity have succeeded to chaos, and the apathy and neglect of some exhibitors have disappeared before the menace of immediate eviction. The central building, the rotunda, and the great gallery of machinery which runs along the quay now offer attractions of a varied description. At the same time other buildings have been erected, and even before their completion every square foot is distributed to the competitors for .pace. No small share of this alteration is to be at tributed to M. Le Play, the French engineer, who has been placed at the head of the Imperial Commis sion since the Ist of June, and whose untiring energy has been productive of the greatest benefit. He has been thoroughly supported in his endea vours by Prince Napoleon, who may, indeed, claim a good share in the changes and the progress for the last six weeks. The Prince passes several hours almost every day at the Palace of Industry, in order to ascertain with his own eyes whether the measures agreed upon are really and fully ear -1 ried into operation. The Commissioners for foreign Governments at the Exhibition, thinking that it was their duty to thank Prince Napoleon, the President of the Im perial Commission, for the manner in which he has accomplished his important mission, a deputation of them proceeded the day before yesterday to the Palais Royal, and presented to his Imperial High ness the following address : "Monseigneur—The commissioners of foreign powers only fulfil a duty in offering to the President of the Imperial Commission the homage of their admiration for the striking manner in which the work of the Univer sal Exhibition has just been accomplished. The grand idea of the Emperor has been realised. Let thanks be given for it to the kind efforts of your Impe rial Highness, to the constant solicitude which you have shown for this great work, and to the power ful impulse which you have imparted to it. The Exhibition is now the great attraction of the Capital of France, to which it adds fresh lustre. It presents a picture of all the productions of nature, supplied by Providence, and of the transformations effected in them by man ; it will powerfully contribute to the pro gress of the fine arts, and of manufactures and to the 'prosperity of commerce, which have constantly been the object of the most lively interest of the Emperor. In coming forward to-day, Monseigneur, to express to you the sentiments with which all the Commissioners are penetrated, and in presenting to you a copy of the de claration which they adopted at their last weekly sitting, they embrace this opportunity of renewing to your Ilia penal Highness the assurance of their respectful homage. —Paris, 12th July." (Here follow the signatures.) Prince Napoleon replied "I thank the Commissioners for the address which they have just presented to me ; I accept it wit h grqi tude, in the name of the imperial Commission ; it " ta t :: noblest recompense it can receive for the di fficult which it has had to perform under my Presiden y. kind enough, gentlemen, to convey my t-arikB to Be h c different countries which you represent. which has with pleasure the good understanding and you may never ceased to prevail between us, to be assured that I will constantly endeavour t task still remains maintain and develope it. A gree - g the recom. mention for us to accomplish—that of shall thus with the most scrupulous impartialty the n idea of the Emperor, show forth in a striking manner Uiversa Exhibition of penses. We shall do it in the strongaew.starsprrwit spirit equity and the idea which presided over the the cons tant object of all my 1855, and which has been to tighten more the bonds efforts and of all my of nations by bringing easures of reception and in stallation wishes,together the works of their hands, the m of the arts and manufactures extending of theeq recompensing with equal justice to all nations, and by of by the useful and remarkable works all the nations which have taken part in this grand competition of universal Labour. ms__ puarondyuction NEW BUDGET. (From the Economist) What the Chancellor of the Exchequer said in the souse of Commons seems to have been greatly misun derstood. A. supplemental estimate for the army and navy will be brought forward before the close of the session, but which it is understood will not at most ex ceed three to four millions. It will, however, be re membered that in the budget Sir George Lewis provided for 3 ,000,000/, by way of a vote of credit, a nd 3,000,0001. of a margin. It will not, therefore, as was suggested by the question of Mr. Disraeli last night, be necessary to contract any new loan ; at the most all that may be required may be the authority. of parliament to issue early in the next year, if required, a small additional amount of Exchequer bills. We learn from a local paper that the hon. and gallant member for Lincoln, Colonel Sibthorp, who has been indisposed for some time past, is nearly convalescent. MURDER AT EAST .. RETFORD. —A man of depraved character, named Elijah Bradley, has been committed to trial by the m agistrates in county petty sessions at Retford, for the murder of a single man, of a quiet harmless disposition, named Thomas Black, aged 56. 1 The coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughte4 but at a subsequent investigation of the case before the justices a dditional evidence was produced, which led to the committal of Bradley on the capital charge: 41a 36 4 si 6 so
