CREMORNE.-MIDSUMMER HOLIDAYS. Mr. SIMPSON, while gratefully acknowledging the high and distinguished countenance so graciously bestowed upon his property, is de,irous to draw the attention of parents and heads of families to those objects which mere particularly attracted loyal observation, and which elicited pointed commendatory remarks, confident that in the Working Model and Siege of Sehastopol—Marrioti's Industrious Bees—Burns' Cottage Group—the Zoological Specimeas— the Maze —the Air Gun Exercises—an i the Floricultural Displays will he found that species of relaxation so necessary for youth, combining, as it does, instructlm with amusement.

SOUND AND WHITE TEETH Another shuffle of the cards—another specimen of the sincerity of the Palmerston'an pledge that Adminis trative Reform should be proceeded with ! .. The right man is taken out of the right place, and put in the wrong one—a circular body for a triangular hole ; while the man who would have been the right one, where a new one of some sort, and a very peculiar sort too, was wanted; is placed nowhere—a proceeding which maybe described by the Irish figure of filling vacancy with emptiness. One, we believe almost the only one of the Mirehterial appointmettre during_ the present Whig or preceding Coalition Cabinets which has given least - dfss satisfaction, is that of Lord Canning as Postmaster- General. Ile is just the sort of man for the place, as suming that the occupant of that place must be a peer, as routine has so long had it so, though we not only do not admit the necessity, but entirely dissent from it, and maintain that a peer has no business there, or at least that it is the business of the public to take care that another shall not succeed him. Some of our readers may remember that the noble lord represented the county of Warwick for a short time in Parliament in 1836.7, in which latter year he succeeded to the peerage in right of his mother, upon whom the viscountcy had been confer red from respect to the memory of her celebrated hus band, who died during his too brief Premiership. He then gave evidence of very respectable talent, which was tolerably well sustained during his subsequent discharge of the duties of Under-Secretary at the Foreign•office, where he was known much as the present Under-Secre tary, Lord Wodehouse, is now known, that is, not known at all, as far as the public are concerned, but reputed to be pains-taking, assiduous, and intelligent in his way, which way was the way of those who had gone before him—in fact, a kind of double of the present Mr. F. Peel in all things. During the last few fluttering months of the Peel ministry, in 1846, he was Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, the office now filled by Sir W. Molesworth, but whether it was filled with equal ineffi ciency or not we cannot say, the noble lord being much too minor a figure to be noticed at a period like that, whatever might be his merits or shortcomings. On the accession of the Aberdeen Cabinet, his fidelity, or sup posed fidelity, though we never heard that it was tested by any offer in any other quarter, to the Peelite party was rewarded by the Postmaster-Generalship, and its 2,5001. a.year. Here his great merit, and a great one it is in a man naturally fussy, dogmatic and opinionative, as all the peelitea are, was that he really left a practical man to manage practical matters in the department. He did not overrid the experience or thwart the suggestions of Mr. Rowland Hill, at least to any great degree, that ever we heard of; andrin so far he is entitled to con siderablem edit, so much so indeed as to rank as about the best, that is the least mischievous, Postmaster we have ever had. But with the charming incongruity which characterises so many of our official transmutations, no sooner has he become used to the work he is paid for being supposed to understand, and has acquired the character we have given, than he is whisked out of the place, and. of all things on earth, made a Governor-General of India ! Observe, too, the period so judiciously chosen for this performance—just at the moment of the inauguration of an organic alteration in the postal laws, when, if ever, some knowledge of the working of the existing machine is necessary, and when, if ever, a novice might be supposed to shrink with a consciousness of peculiar unfitness, from attempting what the successor of Lord Canning, whoever he may be, will ostensibly have to undertake. This latter, however, is a trivial considera tion as regards the far greater one at stake. If Lord Canning were likely to make a proper Governor-Gene ral of India it is not the fear of his being succeeded by an indifferent Governor-General of St. Martin's-le- Grand that should keep him from the East. But it is absurd to suppose that he is the proper person to be the recipient of this the highest gift in the power of the Crown, or rather of the Minister, to bestow ; one in volving responsibilities the most serious, and therefore demanding capacity commensurate with these responsi bilities. There is a man in England at the present moment rich in all the attributes that Lord Canning lacks—in all the attributes essential in a Governor-General of India. He is a man who has most successfully administered the affairs of two of the most important British dependencies, in times not merely of casual excitement but of absolute and unmistakeable peril, and has succeeded not only in putting down troubles, but in eliciting from those who caused them the cordial admission that he had put them down wisely, and had with equal wisdom built up peace, contentment, and prosperity, where there had been anar chy, contention, and poverty. He is a man, more over, who, in virtue of these very services, was naturally regarded by all that portion of the public who bestow attention on Colonial and Eastern affairs as entitled to the Governorship of India when Lord Dalhousie should resign ; and it was not deemed within the reach of probability that any minister would appoint any other person while this person was available. We need hardly say that we mean Lord El gin, who has lately returned from Canada, whose con dition is the best possible evidence of the abilities of the man who has ruled over that colony for a longer period than any other governor, and during which period the province underwent a rapid but progressive change from the extremes we have described.

But wonderful indeed is it that a man in every way so much his inferior as Lord Canning, should not only be preferred, but actually taken out of an office for which he is very well suited, and the filling up of which will, of course, be the occa sion of more official dislocation, and mischief, confusion, and perplexity, and will furnish fresh matter for the Administrative Reformers in their charges sgainst Lord Palmerston on the score named by Mr. Dickens and others at Drury-lane.--Birmingliam , Journal. MR. H. C. COOPER'S CONCERT.—Mr. Cooper's fourth and last violin soirée took place the other night at the New Beethoven Rooms in Queen Anne-street, and was well attended. The chief instrumental attractions con sisted of Mendelssohn's fifth violin quartett in E flat, Spohr's elegant duet in E minor for violin and viola, and Beethoven's grand sonata Op. 47, in A minor, dedicated to Kreutzer, and well-known amongst musical connois seurs as the " Kreutzer Sonata." Mr. Cooper's position as the first English violinist, which we were the first to pronounce, is now so well established hn d acknowledged that it is only necessary to state that he sustained the principal violin with the most consummate skill, and, ably seconded by Mr. Charles Salaman as pianist, exe cuted the " Kreutzer" in such a way as to place all idea of rivalry in the distance. In Spohr's charming duet the tenor was played to such perfection by Mr. Webb, who left nothing to desire as to decision, accuracy, and finish, that it formed quite a feature in the evening's performance. The programme was interspersed with some vocal pieces, and a young lady debutante, Miss Milner, with a pleasing voice and an effective, Intelli gent, and impassioned execution, created a favourable impression, and was extremely well received.

THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. We have received our despatches from India and China, by the Overland Mail. The dates are— Bombay, May 27 ; Calcutta, May 19 ; Hong Kong, May 10. The following is from the summary of the Bom bay Times of May 27 India continues peaceful almost throughout. Some inconsiderable disturbances, and one foul murder in Burmah, constitute almost the sole exception to this uninteresting state of things. Captain Madigan, of her Majesty's 84th Foot, an officer of singularly quiet and gentle demeanour, having been employed in erecting posts for the electric telegraph between Do nabew and Henzadah, in Pegu, was on the 23d of April tied to a tree and speared to death, in revenge for the execution of the son of one of the chiefs, who had been hung some months ago by order of the deputy-commissioner. He was obviously mistaken for a political officer, and, though in possession of 1,400 rupees, which was offered by himself and by his servant if his life were spared, the murderers left his property untouched, but refused to spare him. Meanwhile the murderers of Capt. Latter seem all to have been discovered, and we shall . probably now have facts brought to light clearing away entirely the aspersionscast on thatofficerat the time of his death, and explaining to us in what manner these atroci ties, obviously planned by very different persons from those who put them in execution, are brought to pass. We were in our last able to give no pore than a telegraphic notice of a brilliant affair at Der samund on 30th April, where summary chastisement was inflicted by a single troop of cavalry and a com pany of infantry on about 2,000 hill robbers of the Terar tribe, chiefly Oorukzaies. The place of the encounter is about 55 miles west from Kohat, where Major Coke, with a troop of the 4th Punjaub cavalry, and a company of the Ist Punjaub infantry, were stationed. For two days it had been rumoured that the enemy, to the amount of 3,000, had been col lecting in the hills with the view of attacking our camp, and on the morning of the 30th, just after breakfast, 2,000 of them were seen within half a mile of us, marching up and down beating the i r drums, brandishing their swords, and discharging their matchlocks, with a view of enticing our troops out to attack them. As the position they held was a strong one, Major Coke resolved to wait until they abandoned it. About eleven a portion of them began to come still nearer to us, and were shortly close enough to fire upon our pickets. The troops of cavalry under Major Jacobs and Captain Fraser now dashed out upon them, cutting down eight on the spot, and dispersing the remainder, who retired on their main body, and there seemed resolved on a stand. A company of Coke's infantry now advanced on them, and speedily sent them scampering over the hills, subjected to total discomfiture, and leav ing fifteen dead behind them ; on our side there was not a single casualty to deplore. The Hydera bad country continues to be rent by internal dissen sions, to be brought to a conclusion only when the dynasty of the Nizam ceases to reign. After hav ing despatched the 10th Hussars and 12th Lancers all idea has been suspended of sending more men from India to the Crimea this season. The 10th Dragoons were brought down from Meerut to Kir kee, having been first marched from quarters about the new year, returned to cantonments on the 19th Jan., and then started a second time shortly after, nearly a two months' march, on purpose for embar kation, reaching just in time to get six weeks of the roasting winds of the Deecau and be so close on the south-west monsoon that it was impossible to em bark them at all. In December when the order for troops from India arrived, the Governor-General had an army of 280,000 men at his disposal, or about double that deemed adequate for the tranquil maintenance of the country a few years ago, when we had formidable enemies in the midst of us and on all our borders. Of these nearly 15,000 were Company's European troops ;• 26,800, or nearly 7,000 more than the law allows for India belonged to the Queen's army. Of these 20,000 could have been spared without the slightest difficulty or danger, and might by the Ist May have been before Sebastopol, forming a heavier force by a tenth than the whole British armyinow attack ing it, and consisting wholly of thoroughly sea soned men, accustomed to field service, a fourth of them at least within the last eight years sharers in the laurels of a dozen of victories. In place of sendin g off this magnificent army at once, we de spatched some 1,200 cavalry, reserving, we pre sume, the remainder of the force for the campaign of 1856 and future years.

KONG KoNG, May 10.—Admiral Sir James Stir ling waited until the Ist inst. for the return of her Majesty's ship Rattler from Siam ; but, finding no chance of her arrival, his Excellency sailed in the Winchester, flag-ship, northwards. We hear that the British fleet will proceed to the River Amoor or Sagaleen, and that part of the fleet will remain there for the purpose of maintaining a strict blockade, and to prevent the Russian vessels of war in that river putting to sea and annoying our trade with China. _ _ _ The progress of the rebellion is little taked of just now. The prevailing famine has compelled the insurgents to give over fighting, at least on any scale ; starvation stares every one in the face, and the imperialists have it nearly . all 'their own way ; but the frightful famine now dominant may pro , duPe a not less fearful reaction, augmented And hay tened by the IaCTXQEO which famine iuoyitably 119,180 16,079,662 6,306,000 1,740,000 335,633 24,580,475 3,306,433 27,686,906 occasions. There is a report current that the Em peror Hien-fung is dead, but no confirmatory ac counts have been received of such an event. The insurgents still hold Nankin, but we do not hear of their making any advancement towards Pekin. Canton remains quiet in a political sense, but its domestic state is frightful, in consequence of the famine. The Circular of the Canton Chamber of Commerce dated the 7th inst. remarks : The scarcity of food reverted to in our last circular has continued to exercise a very painful and depressing influence throughout the month ; thousands have been dying from starvation, and famine, with all its hor rors prevails, to the complete derangement, of course, of all trade. A large fleet of grain junks despatched for the relief of this city are detained on the west coast by pirates. Foreign aid has been solicited to effect their release, but with what result has not transpired. Im portations of foreign rice have been considerable, and , though far inadequate to the wants of so vast a popula- 1 tion, have buoyed up hope that relief is at hand, and so relieved temporarily, the pressure causing a decline of about 80 cents, from the highest point of the market. It is to be feared, however, that prices will rule high for some time, notwithstanding all the grain which foreign ers can import. the neighbouring country having suffered so severely by the troubles ; and, decimated as its vil lages have been, much of the richest soil is now left with out cultivation. Politically there is no change to notice. The scarcity of fold is supposed to have driven the in surgents elsewhere, leaving theirstrongholds an easy prey to the Mandarins. SIR JOHN BOWRING'S MISSION TO SIAM. SirJ. Bowring has succeeded beyond all expecta tion in negotiating a treaty with the Siamese Go vernment, which promises to open the resources of that rich country to the enterprising European trader. Sir John Bowring reached Siam in her Majesty's steamer Rattler, accompanied by her Majesty's sloop Grecian. His Excellency landed on the 3d April. The commission to determine the points of the treaty was signed on the Bth. The commissioners held their first meeting on the 9th, and the treaty was formally signed on the 18th. Every endeavour was made by the King to induce Sir John to submit to the humiliating eti quette of the Siamese court, but his Excellency in sisted that he had come at the request of his Ma jesty, and knew of no other formalities than those observed when M. Chaumont, the French ambas sador, was received. Sir John's determination gained the point, and both his Excellency and his suite entered the royal presence with their shoes and swords, and sat on chairs at the durbar, the highest Siamese nobles being all the while') rostrate on the ground. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (Front the Bombay Times.) BOMBAY, MAY 26. The:Overland Mail of the 25th April arrived on the 22d inst. per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges. Our money market during the fortnight has been easier, and rates of interest have been reduced one per cent. at the banks, with the prospect of a further fall soon. A rise of 2 per cent. has taken place in 4 per cent. paper above former quotations. Our import trade continues in the same depressed and languid state which we have for seine time past reported. The season closes even at lower prices than have hitherto prevailed, which have been of a most discouraging cha racter. The stocks of British goods in hand are still so large that the market can only be improved by a ces sation of further supplies from home for many months to come, Grey shirtings have declined 2 and 3 annas per piece. Madapollams continue in slight demand. Bleached and fancy goods are held in large supplies and are still ne glected.! Cotton yarns continue firm, and large trans actions have taken place during the past fortnight. In Turkey red a few sales have transpired at very low prices ; no transactions are reported in orange. Freights have slightly fluctuated, and a large amount of tonnage for cotton to Liverpool and London has been engaged- at 3/. 12s. 6d. Exchange on England for this mail ruled steady at 2s. lid. till about the close, when the rate slightly gave way, and the business done may be quoted 2s. 10. to 2s. ld., 9-16 d. for China and first class credits, and 2s. lad. to 2s lid. for documents. (From the Englishman.) CALCUTTA, May 27.—Our produce market is most in active, as there is scarcely anything to be shipped offering at present prices the chance of a fair remuneration. In piece goods we have done a fair business in staples, , at generally sustained rater, and which is as much as can be looked for in these times. Our money market, we regret to report, continues in the same unsatisfactory state which has for some time past existed. Exchange opened for this mail at 2.1 a for credit bills, at which rate some were placed, but the buyers were few . ; and the Mercantile Bank selling also at that figure, with the Oriental offering to draw at 2.11, the rate had evidently an upward tendency. AUSTRALIA. ARRIVAL OF THE LIGHTNING. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The Black Ball royal mail ship Lightning, Capt. Enright, arrived in the Mersey this morning from Melbourne, with the usual mails, 260 passengers, and 69,060 ounces of gold. A nugget, weighing 851 b., found at the Forest Creek diggings, was also on board. The Lightning left Melbourne on the 11th April, in company with the Briton for London and the Gipsy Bride for Liverpool. The commission appointed to inquire into the grievances existing on the gold fields have pub lished their report. They advise the abolition of the licence fee, and the substitution of an export duty. The receipts of gold by escort at Melbourne for the quarter ending March 31, show a decrease of 5,785 ounces when compared with the correspond ing period of 1854. The shipments from Melbourne for the same time were 119,372 less than in 1854. Several new and apparently productive gold mines have been discovered near Melbourne and Geelong respectively. A magnificent mass of pure gold, weighing 84 lbs., from Castlemaine, and one of 40 lbs. from Ballarat, had arrived at Melbourne by escort. Trade at Melbourne was improving. The Mel bourne Argus of the 10th of April says :—" Since our last summary there has been a continued im print:Qua in the state of trade, particularly in Amount applied out of the Net Income for the Quarter ended June 38, 1855, to re demption of Exchequer Bills (Deficiency) for the Quarter elided March 31, 1855, Amount applied to redemption of Ways and Means Bills issued in the Quarter ended March 31, 1855 Amount applied to Supply Services in the Quarter ended June 30, 1853.: Out of the Consolidated Fund .C 13,470,162 Out of Exchequer Bills (Ways and Mea rs) Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter endzd Jane 30, 1855, 'viz. : Interest of the Permanent Debt X 5,961,624 Terminable Debt 662,980 Interest of Exchequer Bills (Deficiency) Ditto ( Ways and Means) The Civil List Other Charges on Consolidated Fund ... 334,331 Advances for Public Works. &c.

There is also an improvement in some descriptions of soft goods. While we state, however, that there is at this moment a great and sudden rise in prices, and a very brisk trade, we must guard parties at a distance from fancying that this is to continue for any length of time. The seasons in Australia are only two in number—the dry and the wet season ; the latter extends from October to April. In consequence of the commercial disasters re corded during the past year there has been a com plete prostration of confidence both in Melbourne and in the interior. The storekeeper, not being able to command the usual credit, the supplies hitherto laid in for the wet season at an early period of the dry season, while the roads were good, have this year been forwarded in comparatively limited quantities. Stocks on the diggings are, therefore, unusually small, and every trader is straining his means to the utmost to lay in his Winter stock be fore the rain commences. This accounts Lt. the brisk trade and the high prices at this moment. ' Judging from past experience, it is anticipated that when the rains set in cartage will get up to such a price as in a great degree to stop traffic with the interior, and thereafter we may expect a dull season." Gold at Melbourne was in increased demand, and quoted 31. 16s. 6d. per ounce. In the labour market the demand for agricultural servants was on the increase, and wages had conse quently an upward tendency.

This morning the clipper-ship Gipsy Bride, Cap tain Montgomery, belonging to the Liverpool line of Australian packets, arrived in the Mersey from Melbourne. She left that port the same day as the Lightning. She has brought on freight 40,000 ounces of gold. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The British. and North American royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain William Harrison, ar rived this morning from Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails, 223 passengers, and 811,142 dols. 13c. and 6001. in specie. Her dates are—New York, June 19 ; Boston 20 ; and Halifax, 21. The Africa passed the royal mail steam-ship America, of the same line, at 8 p.m., on the 27th ult., lat. 51 N., long. 26 W. The United States revenue cutter. Washington intercepted a vessel leaving the harbour of New York on the Bth, with nearly 60 persons on board, enlisted, as it is alleged; for the Crimea. The fact was reported to the United States district attorney, but he referred the informant to the city autho rities. A despatch from New Orleans - states that cholera has appeared among the United e.)tates troops at Baton Rouge in an epidemic form, and that several deaths had already occurred, and some fifty of the soldiers were sick. The new steam-frigate, Merrimac, was success fully launched on the 14th from the Charlestown Navy Yard. An immense crowd of spectators witnessed the spectacle. The New York Herald, speaking of the Kinney expedition, says the Vixen is cruising now outside the harbour, while the City of Boston is in the neighbourhoodof Hurlgate to intercept her should she attempt to sail by that way. The revenue cutter Washington also is stationed off Governor's Island, with a similar intent. Full:details of the news from Mexico to the sth ult, had been received. The Government troops had vanquished the revolutionists in several en counters, and the progress of the conquerors was signalised by that bloodthirsty ferocity whica is the characteristic of Mexican warfare. Vigorous mea sures had been taken to quell the insurrection. We have advices from the Rio Grande to the 10th ult. The outbreak resulted in the capture of Monte rey by the revolutionists, on the 27th ult. Seventy officers, twenty-six pieces of cannon, with other munitions of war, were captured. Caravajal is up again, and had encountered the Government forces, but the result we have not learned. Arrived at Halifax, on tho 20th ult., tho Royal mail steam-ship Asia, from hence on the 9th. THE KINNEY EXPEDITION. (From the New York Herald.) • THE 'UNITED STATES BLOCKAIAD=CANDYROII COLONEL It appears there has been a mistake in supposing that the Administration had raised the siege of the steamer United States. Such is not the case. The blockading squadron has imperative orders not to permit the United States to leave this port, no matter how apparently pa cific her intentions may be. According to the statement of one of' the officers attached to the blockading squad ron, the Vixen is cruising now outside the harbo ur, while the City of Boston is in the neighbourhood of lurlgate, to intercept her should she attempt to sail by that w ay . o The revenue cutter Washington also is stationed off G - vernor's Island, with a similar intent.

It will be noticed that the time of Colonel Kitney's a e , parture (7 o'clock on the evening of the 6th inst.) was when the mass meeting was being held at the f oo t o f Eight-street, to protest against the blockade.

Great results are confi dently looked for from the prosecution of our plans, and a great principle of constitutional right is therein involved.

'AI thiii4...:-- Ai moment, when future success in our business seemCto ri depend up on th e promp tit u d e o f our movements, we find '''' the Government of the United States blockading our ship with three war-steamers and a revenue vessel. Our departure by the steam-ship we had chartered being thus prevented by a strong naval force, we have been com pelled, at great pecuniary sacrifice and personal incon venience, to seek other means of transport. We invite our friends to follow by the first conveyance for Nica ragua. " The above high-banded measure to oppress private citizens in the pursuit of lawful business has been under- - taken by a most extraordinary coalition—that of the Government of the United States and the Accessory Transit Company of Nicaragua. " The latter party to the alliance is a rival of ours in the project of sending settler s to Nicaragua. They to whom the trust of administering temporarily the affairs of _this nation is confided, have Presumed to interpose the strong of the navy to place a cheek upon lawful com merce, when no public exigency demanded it—when no public interest was in danger—but merely to protect one class of its citizens to the ruin of another. " We do not desire, however, at ,this ti me to indulge in useless criminations or pour our private complaints into the public ear. It is be c ausethe great coostitutional right of voluntary exp a t r i a ti on h as been invaded, b ecause we have been unable to obtain either a hearing i n our courts of law, or a response to our demands up on t h e Government for a cessation of these persecutions, that we address ourselves directly to the American People. The charges we herein make we have abundant testimony to substantiate by proof when the day arrives. Until then we ask that the verdict in our case may be deferred. Our best defence against the accusations of our enemies will be our future deeds in the land of our adoption. " We claim the right to plant amidst the wilds of Nicaragua, upon our own legally-acquired property, the senate-house and the church—to live there as becomes orderly, industrious, and law-abiding citizens—to encou rage agriculture, establish commerce, and cultivate the arts which embellish life. In so doing, we violate no law, either human or divine. And if, in the fulness of time, political changes should occur—if a respectable, responsible, and permanent government should be estab lished, where anarchy now reigns—if the unhappy wars that now desolate the land should give place to peaceful labour, and the State rise again, purified by her trials and prepared for the place destined by . the God of na tions for her, we shall still be ready to hear the verdict pronounced upon our enterprise. For that verdict we shall not appeal to the government, but to the sove reignty of that public sentiment before which the govern ment itself must bow. " New York, June 5, 1855. " H. L. KINNEY." COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, JUNE 19. The Bank statement for the past week shows, unex pectedly an increase in loans to the amount of about one million of dollars, and in deposits about three-quar ters of a million ; while in the i.:em of the specie the reduction is only very trifling, notwithstanding the ex port of 51,8000,000 during the week. There was a moderate business done in foreign ex change. The following are the ruling rates :—London, 1091 to 1104 ; Paris, 5.121 to 5.15.

The sympathy which the which country must feel with the family of Lord Raglan has been evinced at the earliest moment. Even the fear of intruding upon private sor row has not prevented an immediate expression of con dolence on the part of some of'the highest and the noblest in the realm. The intimation of Lord Raglan's demise reached his widow at noon on Saturday by the hand of the Hon. Robert Dundas, who was commissioned to perform the sad office by the First Lord of the Admiralty. Within a very short period his Royal Highness Prince Albert called personally to convey her Majesty's con dolence in an autograph letter ; and, further, to show that this expression of feeling was not merely etiquette, again repeated his inquiries in the eveniz•g. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent sent to make inquiries as soon as the painful intelligence reached her, and their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, were among the earliat to offer their condolence. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge also sent to make inquiries. The Queen's anxiety on Lady Raglan's behalf was further exhibited by two messages in the course of yes terday. The list of visitors embraced the majority of the no bility and gentry now in town. The late Lord Fitzroy James Henry Somerset was the youngest child of the large family of Henry fifth Duke of Beaufort, by Miss Boscawen, daughter of the Hon. Admiral Boscawen. He was born on the 30th September, 1788, and, like his elder brothers, Lord Robert Edward and Lord John, adopted the military profession. Be fore he had enmpleted his 16th year, in June, 1804, he aas appointed a cornet in the 4th Light Dragoons, and subsequently served in the 43d Foot and let Foot Guards. In 1808 he was appointed aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington, and in 1811 he was military secre tary to that illustrious general, which arduous and re sponsible duty he discharged throughout the campaigns of Spain, Portugal, France, and Flanders, and was pre-- sent at the tattles of Roleia, Vimiera, Talavera; and Busaco, and during. the attack and capture of Oporto, pursuit of Marshal Soult, retreat to and occupation of the lines of Torres Vedras, the operations in pursuit of Marshal Massena, the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, the first siege of Badajoz, the brilliant affair of El Bodon, the siege and capture of Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege and cap ture of Badajoz, the battle of Salamanca, the capture of Madrid, and the Retiro, driving the enemy from Valla dolid to Burgos, the siege of that castle, and various wait {nt affiirs on the retreat from Burgos to the frontiers of Portugal. He also was in the advance in 1813, the battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, the action of Irun, the passage of the Bidassoa, the Nivelle, and the Nive ; in the advance in 1814, the battles of Orthes and T ,ulouse, and every other engagement which took place during that campaign. In 1815, he proceeded with " the great captain" to Flanders, and was present at Quatie Bras, the retreat of the 17th of June, and the battle of Waterloo, where he lost his right arm ; he was also wounded at Brasco. For his military services in the Peninsula he received a cross and five clasps for Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. In 1815, after the battle of Waterloo, he was one of the long list of officers who were n( minated K.C.B. Lord Raglan (then Lord Fitzroy Somerset) was attached to the late Hon. Sir Arthur Paget's embassy to Turkey in 1087 ; and was, for a short period, secretary to the em bassy at Paris, in 1814 ; ' and was minister pleni potentiary there, from January 18th to March 20th, 1815. His lordship was again secretary of embassy at Paris, from 1816 to 1819. He attended on the Duke of Wellington to Vienna and Verona in 1822, when the illustrious duke went as plenipotentiary to the congress at those places, and in 1826 proceeded with the duke to St. Petersburg, where he was sent to congratulate the late Emperor Nicholas on his accession to the throne. In 1823, Lord Raglan went on a special mission to Madrid, without, however, any diplomatic character. He was appointed in 1819 secretary to the late Duke of Wellington, then Master General of the Ordnance, which situation he held up to 1527, and in Audust of that year he was made military secretary to the Com mander-in-Chief, the functions of which office he per formed until September 30, 1852. In November, 1830, he was appointed colonel of the 53d Regiment, and in September, 1847, he was made a Knight Grand Coss of the Order of the Bath. In September, 1852, his lord ship was appointed Master General of the Ordnance, and in the succeeding month was elevated to the House of Peers, under the title of Baron Raglan, and was the same month constituted a Privy Councillor. While Master General of the Ordnance he was appointed com mander of the forces which proceeded to Turkey on the 21st of February, 1854, with the rank of general while so employed. On the death of Field Marshal the Mar quis of Anglesey, be was made, on the 9th of May, 1854, colonel of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue). The military services of the deceased lord since his arrival in Turkey, and the acti ve o p erations of the army in the Crimea, are of too re cent occurrence to need re capitulation. In addition to his British honours of Grand Cross of the Batb, be was knight of the foreign E fi a t r h l of August, m orn i n g l t B o l n 4 ) , , orders of Maria Theresa of Austria, St. George (fourth class) of Russia, Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria, and of the Tower and Sword of Portugal. second daughter on ly serving son, the Hon.

LIVERPOOL, June 30.—SAILING OF THE PACIFIC.— The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, sailed from Liverpool, for New York, this day, at half-past one, p.m., with a full cargo, the usual mails, and 112 passengers, among whom was Mr. Van Buren, ex-President of the United States. THE ARISTOCRACY.—The appearance at the present moment of Sir Bernard Burke's "Romance of the Aris tocracy "is calculated to excite much attention. It has been justly observed that the memoirs of our great fami lies are replete with details of the most striking and ro mantic interest ; yet how little of the personal history of tho aristocracy is generally known, and how full of amusement is the subject. Almost every eminent family has some event connected with its rise or greatness, some curious tradition interwoven with its annals, equally in teresting to the general reader as to that sphere of society to which this work more particularly refers. The anec dotes of the aristocracy here recorded go far to show that there are more marvels in real life than in the crea tions of fiction. Let the reader seek romances in what ever book, and at whatever period he may, yet nought will he find to surpass the unexaggerated reality here unfolded. -
