San-office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. Thg, Un. LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1855, There are some persons who delight in para doxes, whose chief pleasure consists in displaying a perverted ingenuity in arguing untenable pro positions. Mr. GLADSTONE is of the number, and the m ore un p o p u l ar the better. He seeks for that which is most strongly opposed as well to the views and feelings of the community as to truth and justice. He aims at a Parliamentary di c tatorship---a species of Autocracy which neither his colleagues in the Cabinet, while yet he was one of the Ministry, ncr the independent repre sentatives of large constituencies should venture to question or resist. Unfortunately for the country he was, for a time, too successful—all parties bowed to his extravagant pretensions. Although his nominal chief, Lord ABERDEEN, and the then Ministerial leader in tho C ommons, Lord JOKE RUSSELL, had all but officially intimated quitous inequ a lit y of th( that th e un j us t an d ini income tax was to be modified —although not a single Member of Parliament ventured to defend the enactments which assessed at the same rate the over-worked and under-paid :country clergyman, medical man, or clerk who gained a precarious and transitory income of 1501. per annum, and the fortunate individual who had his name inscribed in the books of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England as the proprietor of 5,0001. New Consolidated 3 per Cent. Annuities, and the owner of well-circumstanced freehold ground-rents pro ducing the same income, al though it was universally assumed that the principle was conceded, and die- cussion was limited to the details of the antici pated modification, he carried his own views and prevented the act of justice and of policy from 1-- , ieceiving the legislative sanction. Such was the state of affairs when Mr. GLAD STONE brought forward his first budget' refus ing to recognise the distinction, but pro viding (t) for the gradual reduction and ultimate extinction of what, under the circumstances, was justly considered an odious impost. The ' financial conjuror managed his cards dex terously. The pretended boon, which at the time he must have known would never have been given, was eagerly accepted. It was said that it was not worth while to cavil or dis- pute about that which would so speedily be num bered with the past, and that it would be madness to oppose such a " heaven-born" Minister, or to risk the loss of his invaluable services for such a trifle. GLADSTONE was the idol of the day, be fore whose footstool the time-servers were only too happy to lick the dust. We remained firm. We neither joined in the servile throng, nor in any degree surrendered the opinions we had long entertained, and strenuously and unceasingly ad vocated. We still stood up for the deeply-injured working classes, who, by the sweat of their brows or the exercise of their intellects, earned incomes scarcely adequate to the exigencies of their posi tions. Their just claims were, however, dis regarded. The " GLADSTONE ovation" was cele brated with such extraordinary splendour that few listened to the groans of the victims bound to his chariot wheels, and even many of the sufferers forgot their wrongs in the glory of his triumph. The sacrifice of " principle "—the unblushing subserviency then exhibited, has possibly induced him to suppose that he can again induce Honour able and Right Honourable Gentlemen to swallow their own words and again yield to his crotchets. He has accordingly flung off disguise, and become the vituperator and maligner of his country and of his quondam colleagues. Had his hand clutched the filthy bribes of Russia he could not have more earnestly advocated its cause, or sought to afford excuses for the German Powers, whe were alike oblivious of their duties and of their promises. He has sent forth these opinions with the knowledge that they will encourage the enemy to pursue its aggressive policy, and to pre vent its acceptance of any terms that can be ac ceptable to the Western Powers, or consistent with their honour or security. It is " a nasty bird that fouls its ownnests"—so says the old pro verb—and we trust that Mr.GLADSTONE will pon der on its application, and the moral that may be deduced therefrom. But a new light is cast by the recent speeches of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer on the very extraordinary financial policy which he pur sued. At the time when he steadily refused to modify the income tax, and under the promise of its extinction obtained a renewal for seven in place of three years, ho was acquainted, through the explanations of Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, with the secret views of the CZAR, and his avowed inten tions with respect to the assets of " the sick man." At that very time, notwithstanding the reduction in the stock of gold, and the steadiness of the efflux of bullion from our shores, lie brought forward his scheme for the conversion of the Three per Cents., and the payment of the South Sea Loan, and other small stocks ! By this " valuable financial demonstration," as it was termed, he denuded the Exchequer of its balances, and rendered himself dependent on loans from the Bank of England for the means of meeting the dividend on the National Debt. What could a Minister nominated by the CZAR, and who looked solely to his interests, have done more ? He also refused, after the War had broken out, to sanction a loan even to the extent of replacing the money he had so imprudently dis bursed, and at the same time strove to starve the War, and to disgust the people with hostilities by heaping burdens on their shoulders. In these views he was disappointed. The indomitable courage and resolution of the people conquered all the difficulties imposed by the treachery or imbecility of some of the Cabinet. Our holiour is still safe, but we have not to thank Mr. GLAD STONE for that circumstance. We do not think the course adopted by the ex-financial Minister o dculated to recruit the Peelite ranks, or to render the nation desirous of his accession to the Pre miership, a post to which it is well known that he aspires, and which he already fancies to be within his grasp. We would be the last to deny to any English man, and especially to a Member of Parliament, he right of.freedom of speech ; -like every other right, however, it should be used with common prudence. The partners of a banking or commer- vial firm, or the members of a boatel conducting the business of a public company, have each a full right to utter all their minds ; but what would be thought of any of their number who should publicly declare opinions of his own, in which, moreover, he differed from his colleagues, and which should have the effect of diminishing confi lence in the firm, or lowering the market value of the company's shares ? His opinions we will even suppose to be right, yet if their publication would discourage the friends and customers of the house or company, and, much more, if they would encourage the hostile operations of a rival company, he would be universally con demned for: such an abuse of his right. It would be deemed either treachery or the grossest impru dence. H e would be told that his duty was quietly to secede if he differed fundamentally from his coll eagues, an d not to b e g u ilty o f injuring their corar non interests by an unfair use of his tongue. We put this plain consideration to such men as LATnG, and also to Messrs. COBDEN', BRIGHT, GLADSTONE, and the other commercial men, or men of commercial knowledge, who publish so freely anti-warlike , opinions. They have been denomi nated traUsors, and their conduct on the Turkish Loan quest ion spoken of as nefarious ; and they Appear . to b, s very sore on the subject. Can they reasonably • wonder ? Suppose them, for argu ment's sake, . 1. ,0 be right, yet is it right, on th e ot h er hand, to stre agthen our antagonist, to weaken our Government : and our Generals, and to increase the expenditure o f life and money? They exclaim that their intention is are the very reverse. We admit it, it least so far as saving life and taxation are con cerned. But; will they, with their asserted supe riore mischievous effect of intelligence, their conduct on Russi a ? Or will they fancy that deuy th their appeals to our purs e or our fears can shake English re 3C aution 9 They see th at the nation insists on a. v igorous prosecution of the • •ty see that by :an immense ma jority War. They it affirms that peace sh al !1 b s conquered, not sued for ; yet they that we do all ti key ain to make Russia bel ieve are not 1 warty and united, do all they can to in , nation of vigorat e h er res i s t ance i n th e hope of wearing out shopkeepers, and all they can to make peace dill is nit to be conquered ! If they cannot hope to ski vert their countrymen from their object, is it then: not "nefarious" and unpatriotic reck lessly to or chance the difficulty of obtaining it ? It ; i s us e less to allege that such is not their wish ; such must be the result of their doings. Russians THE surN LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN6%, AUGUST 6 1855. never see such speeches,as Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. LAING used to make, nor such as Lord LYNDHURST, Mr. LAYARD and even Sir W. MOLES WORTH now make ; but the speeches of the BRIGHT and GLADSTONE party are reprinted in extenso, with hardly a sentence omitted, to em bolden Russian zeal with the evidence of Englisi , divisions. The stubborn fact indeed remains that the English House of Commons will not, or dare not, give a Russian vote ; and that even Prince ALBERT dares not make speeches against the War, except sideways by an attack on constitutional goyernment. Almost, all over qie continent, how ever, east of the Rhine, the despots take pretty good care to exclude from, or to modify in the journals all that tells against Russia, and to give at full length either our quarrels at home, or any mishap abroad. If the Peelites and peace at-any-price men were in the pay of Russia they could not serve her better ; and however they may now flatter themselves with becoming the idols of the nation, when, as they fancy, the taxation their conduct increases shall make it desirous of peace, they most certainly deceive themselves. Some of them are scholars, and it is worth their while to remember the respective fates of the great war orator of Athens and his Philippising opponent. Even after the defeat at Chaeronea, and the loss of political status, the mean-spirited subserver of the ambition of PHILIP not only could not wrest the crown from the patriot, but could not save himself from incurring civil dis grace by the attempt. Such will certainly be the result in this country. Wqre the army in the Crimea literally driven into the sea, the nation would wreak its vengeance, not on the men who counselled worthily of their 'ancestors and their countrymen, but on the perverse, the practically Russianising men, who cramped as far as in them ay the noble efforts of their country, and stimu lated those of the enemy. For our part we cannot resist the conviction that treachery, either in our Court or our Cabi nets, is the sole reason why we have had war at all, and why, after it began, it was not more quickly brought to a conclusion. The men who knew of the shameless SEYMOUR correspondeuee, and yet did not utterly distrust Russia and anti cipate her designs ; who suffered the pas sage of the Pruth, who kept our ships outside the Equine till after the horrors of Sinope—a murder committed, too, by a gross breach of faith—who then sent out troops for a parade war, as General Ev.aNs stated—who courted that double of Rus sian nepotism, perfidy, cunning, and violence, Austria, and admitted her brutal troops into the innocent provinces, instead of demanding her decision fur or against at once—who first proposed, then countermanded, the formation of a Polish Legion, who shrunk from declaring for Polish liberty itself, and who have spared " Holy Russia" in fifty ways besides—it is these trimming, these half-hearted men who have brought us into war, and who will keep us in it through sheer apprehension of hurting Russia and Austria too much. The three savage oppressors of Poland, and, above all, the base gaoler of Hun gary and Lombardy, are the beloved friends of our Whigs and Tories, and of the Court through whose smiles they hope in turns to enjoy the sweets of office. The nation is sound, thoroughly so ; but its governors all sympathise with the governing classes abroad, not with the governed. This is the key of the whole mystery. Our money and our men are squandered in profu sion ; no foresight, no energy, no boldness is shown in the war, and all because our administra tors are heartless. Enthusiasm would inspire very different counsels. Elrnestness never fails to find ability. But how can our aristocracy and our Court be in earnest, when they can peddle over such paltry matters as the Four Points, and the respective merits of counterpoise or limita tion ! ! England despises such trumpery objects for a great war. They are themselves sufficient to enfeeble its conduct. Why strike blows worthy the Allied Armies and Navies for the " difference between tweedledum and tweedledee." It is, we believe, loathsome to the people generally to see its Legislators debating such childish terms of peace. Its instinctive common-sense exclaims, et us fight like men, for something worthy of men ! On Saturday we inserted the Report of the Directors of the Royal British Bank, which was of a truly satisfactory character, and may be re garded as conclusive of the triumphant success of the great experiment tried on the introduction of the Scotch system of banking into the metropolis of the United Kingdom. This result is the more gratifying to ourselves, as from the very commence ment we earnestly commended the princip'e which, having succeeded on one side of the Tweed, and proved alike beneficial to the shareholders and customers in the various establishments distributed throughout the length and breadth of the sister kingdom, should in like manner flourish when transplanted to British soil. We felt that all that was required was an efficient and straightforward board of management, and " fair play," a clear stage, and no favour, to insure a triumph of the principle. These, we are happy to say, were ac corded. The Directors showed themselves to be sound-judging, prudent men of busi ness, who, while extending the great bene fits of banking facilities to classes previously debarred therefrom, took measures, at the same time, to prevent any reasonable chance of loss. The steady increase of business the hand some - pmfits realised, and partly distributed, while considerable portions have been applied to the liquidation of the preliminary expenses, and the formation of a reserved fund, already amounting to 13,7941., supply unquestionable testimony on the accuracy of their views ; and although they have had prejudices to encounter in the first instance, these prejudices have worn away, and they now occupy a high position, with an increased capital, that will enable them to in crease their transactions, in one of the best bank ing sites in London, viz. the old South Sea House, in Threadneedle-street, which has been obtained on very favourable terms. Suffice it to say, that after distributing a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) on the paid-up capital, and pro viding handsomely for all expenses, they were enabled to add 1,0001. to the reserved fund, and likewise to apply 6361. 7s. Bd. to the pre liminary expenses, and to carry an unappro priated balance of 1,1621. 2s. 7d. to the new account. Such facts, supported by such figures, require no comment—they supply unquestionable proofs of the prosperity and stability of the Royal British Bank, the initiator of the Scottish system in England. The Junior United Service Club has received a splen did copy of Winterhalter's picture of the Emperor Na poleon 111. It is full length and life size. The British public have been made familiar with this picture by the engravings. The likeness is perfect. THE NEW ACT ON MILEAGE DUTY.—The new act to reduce the mileage duty o❑ omnibuses, &c., from 10., to ld. per mile, has just been printed. It took effect from the Ist of July last, and will benefit the omnibus proprietors to about 60,000/, a-year. ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF FORTUGAL PORTSMOUTH, MOND,IY MORNING. His Portuguese MAjesty's steam yacht Mind elho, with the King on board, and the Portuguese Royal standard flying, passed through Spithead, for Os borne, at five o'clock this morning. The ships at Portsmouth did not salute. _ _ SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING. The Portuguese war steamer Mindelho, accom panied by the Dona Louise, has arrived, bringing his Majesty the King of Portugal, who is accom panied by his brother, the Duke of Oporto, and suite. The two vessels have brought up in the river, as it is not yet known whether his Majesty will land and proceed to London, or return to Osborne House. THE HYDE-PARK HAYNAU. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEN. - - SIR,—I do not wonder that the one individual referred to by Mr. Mitchell was anxious to get off the charge of woman-flogging. Bankside justice has not lost its ter rore. One cruel case of woman-beating by the police came to me, however, from a medical student who wit nessed the act. The horses of an open carriage being a little restive at the disturbance, a _young lady in the car riage had it stopped and got out. In her timidity she laid hold of one of the rails while standing by the car riage, when a policeman came up and struck the hand on the rails such a blow with his truncheon, as the ar dent affirmed must have crushed the bones of her fingers; he stated that he literally shuddered at the sight of her agony.—l inclose my card, and am, sir, yours respect fully, C. LATEST NEWS. ANOTHER RUSSIAN SORTIE. WAR DEPARTMENT, AuG. 4. 'General Simpson has reported by telegraph to day that the Russians made a sortie last night on the Woronzow-road as far as the chevaux de frise, but were repulsed without loss on our side. Few deaths from. cholera. PARIS, SUNDAY. General Canrobert is expected in France. His departure from the Crimea is ascribed to an old wound, which has 'opened, and causes him great pain. The Emperor ordered him to resign, and he has given up his division , to WMahon. All the 55 prism lers belonging to the secret society called Mariallne have been found guilty. Their sentences ranL , ,e from six months' to five years' imprisonment. The Benedetti has 1 eft for the Crimea. The Christophe Co lombe came into collision with a Turkish frigate, when two Frenchmen and iur Turks were killed. On the Bth ult., the garrison of Fort St. Paul made an excursion into the interior, and carried off 600 bullocks. 13 ANOVER, SUNDAY. Another royal proelal3lation has been issued this day. It states that the Government has made every attempt to bring the Chambers into harmony with the decree of the Federal Diet, dated April 12, but havin g failed, the latter can no longer remain unexecut The Government, convi need that any further negotiation with the Chatreoers of 1848 would lead to no result, has resolved to execute the decision of the Diet without more delay. Accordingly, by the ordinance just issue d, the Ministers are au thorised, in obedience to the federal decree, to reinstate the aristocracy ill their former rights. XLSINORE, FRIDAY. The Gorgon has arrived from England, and proceeded to join the fleet at Nargen. SARDINIA. A letter from Balaklava of the 20th ult., in the Opiniene of Turin, announdes that Major Cavalli, of the Sardinian army, is expected there with four field-guns of his own invention, the merit of which is to be tested in the present campaign. The Sardinian War-office has decided that hence forth infantry officers are to be armed with the sabre, like artillery officers, instead of with the sword. THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, Aug. 3.—The Princess Alice despatch boat, Lieutenant Underwood commanding, left the fleet at Nargen at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening last, and arrived here this morning with the weekly mails. She encountered, when off Dago Ort, a very heavy gale, which knocked away part of her starboard paddle-box, and much damaged the bulwarks. It is not at all improbable that, be fore these lines reach you, the first blow this year will have been struck in the Baltic. A friend in the fleet, whose authority is excellent and worthy of all belief, writes me from off Nargen, Ist of August : " To-morrow we start for Sweaborg, which place we are going to attack. To attempt to anticipate the result of this expedition would, of course, be presump tuous ; it is, however, to be hoped, that the time has at length arrived when the affair at liango," with its blood-thirsty massacre, will be deeply but honourably revenged." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. contain no news of interest. A letter of the 31st ult., received in advance of the mail, says : ' _ _ _ - - " Prince Adalbert, of before leaving Ma drid, bad a long conversation Rith the Infanta Isabella, eldest sister of the King, and with the Infanta Maria Amelia, whom he was to have married. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is to return to-day from Biarritz, where he went to see the Emperor of the French, but his Ma jesty had left before he arrived. The Emperor, however, postponed his departure eleven hours, in the expectation of his arrival. A junta, for examining and proposing re forms in the Customs Duties, has been formed under the superintendence of the General Direction of Customs. The voluntary subscriptions to the loan in the province of Madrid are much higher than the newspapers repre sent ; they already amount to 2,400,000 reals (the real is worth five sous), and it is supposed will reach 16,000,000 reals out of the 22,000,000 assigned to that province. The cholera seems to be on the decline." The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the following : " It is certain that the representatives of France and England at Madrid have never made, and have consequently never renewed, an application to the Spanish Government to send troops either to the Crimea or to Italy. It is an error to suppose that any division amonst the ministers, or a minis terial crisis, exists. The Minister of Foreign Af fairs, in going to Biarritz, had no other object, apparent or real, than that of complimenting the chief of the neighbouring State, in the name of the Queen and the Spanish government ; any other statement on the subject is devoid of all founda tion." The other journals contain no news of interest. According to Las Novedades the voluntary sub scription to the loan in Madrid, though required to amount to 22,000,000 reals (the real is worth five sous), had only reached 120,000 reals. The Clamor Public() says that the Bank of San Fer nando had encountered some difficulty in pro viding funds to the Treasury to pay the claims of the month of June, but that some pri vate friends of the Minister of Finance had advanced the Treasury what it required. The Clamor says also that the 20,000,000 reals bor rowed in Paris were shortly expected. The Captain General of Catalonia having learned that Carlist agents iu the principalities were endeavour ing to seduce soldiers from their duty, had issued an order of the day to the troops offering 1,000 reals and his discharge to any soldier who should denounce any man attempting to induce him to violate his duty. A letter of the 30th ult., received in advance of the mail, says : " The Gazette publishes a royal ordinance regulating the manner in which the delivery of the ecclesiastical property is to be proceeded to, before being sold. The Government is carrying out measures for the sale of such property with great activity. The civil governor of Madrid has seized all that is to be found in his district, and the sale of it is to commence forthwith. Everything now causes it to be hoped that the peace of Barcelona will not be again disturbed. The Minister of Public Works has settled the questions raised by the workmen by deciding that there shall be liberty of capital, liberty of labour, that coalitions shall be prohibited, and that workmen's associations, except for charitable purposes, shall not exist. It has been further decided that stran gers arriving in Barcelona shall obtain a permission to remain from the authorities, or shall be liable to expul sion. In Barcelona the manufacture and sale of arms of all descriptions has been prohibited."i LIVERPOOL, AUG. 0.,n The United StAtes mail steamer Pa cific, cap the Nye, has arrived with dates from N ew York to h 25th ult., and 900,000 dollars specie on freight. of- The to Boston, fal T o tried and acquitted of the charge of violating .the neutrality laws by enlisting men for the CriTe,s.P. have brought actions against Captain Clark, of te; revenue cutter James Campbell, for illegal dete .

A letter from Rome 6f the 28th ult., in the Pie monte of Turin, states that in the secret consistory of the 26th, the Pope alluded to the affairs of Spain and to those of Piedmont, protesting against the proceedings of those governments. The canton of Ticino was also mentioned as having violated the canon law, in attempting to adapt it to the laws of the country. A letter from Cagliari in the Italia e Popolo of Genoa, states that on the 23d ult. the Sardinian recruits of the 15th regiment revolted, took up arms, and attempted to force the gate of the bar racks, with a view to return to their homes. Order was, however, speedily restored, and the ringlead ers arrested. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, AUG. 3.—Troops of every arm con tinue to arrive here by the railway. A great por tion are sent forward on foot to Toulon, where there is at present more shippi n g than at Marseil les. The noble English steamer Columbian sailed on Tuesday afternoon for Kamiesh, havinc , the transport Balance in tovr. The Balance went off short of hands. Five of her crew are in prison, charged with having ill-treated a policeman who interfered to put an end to a drunken row on Sunday night. Mr. Birch, the British Vice-Consul, wished the magistrate to dispose of the case summarily, in order that the ship should not be deprived of the services of the men, but he decided that they should be committed for trial. It is a fact, very creditable to the British merchant navy, that this is the first complaint against any English seaman since the commencement of the war. The Cale donia of Leith sailed for the Crimea on Wednesday with detachments of the I'2d and 75th Regiments. The Harmonia of Greenock is receiving an enor mous quantity of shot and shell. The Isabella Croll sails to-morrow with horses. The British steamer Vulcan arrived from Kamiesch on Wednesday. She landed 75 sick and wounded at Port Vendres, whence they were transferred to the military hospital of Perpignan, where accom modation has been prepared for a large number. The American steamer William Penn, and the Eng lish steamer Tubalcain, arrived from the Blank Sea, yesterday, to embark troops. The war corvette Megere arrived here, on Tuesday, from Toulon. She embarked 600 troops, and sailed for Civita Vecchia on Wednesday morning. The port of Toulon just now presents a most animated appearance. The ships of the line Napo leon, Prince Jerome, Jupiter, Trident, Donawerth, Duguesclin, and. Marengo are anchored in the roads, together with the frigates Uranie, Ven geance, Erigone, Syrene, and the steam corvette Reine Hortense. The Fleurus has sailed for Ka miesch with 1,500 men. The French Government have renewed their engagement with the owners of several steamers whose period of service bad expired. They have, however, made a considerable reduction in the freights. Touache, Brothers, have re-engaged their new large steamers, France and Bresil, to the French Government for eight months—a sign that no speedy termination of the war is expected. The great fair of Beaucaire has terminated. The sanguine expectations entertained by the manufac turers at the opening of the fair have not been realised. The sale of raw silk particularly has been very limited. The supply was not abundant, and the high rates demanded are said to have deterred many purchasers. Prices varied from 35f. to 70f. the kilo gramme, according to quality. Cotton manufactured goods were in better demand, and brought fair prices. Fine woollen cloths were neglected, but the coarser qualities were all disposed of at a rise of from 6to 10 per cent. on former years. Tanned leather was eagerly sought for, and the stock being limited in amount brought readily an advance of from 20 to 25 per cent. AUSTRALIA.

PARIS, SUNDAY, AUG. 5. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received here : - - - - " MARSEILLES, 4th.—The Thabor has arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the 26th ult. Mehe met Bey, the new Turkish ambassador, has arrived by her with a numerous suite. The accounts from the Crimea are to the 25th ult. The works of the allies were within 70 metres of the Maiakhoff Tower, and the bat teries were being armed very rapidly. The Russians have increased their works on the north side, and have carried their heaviest cannon into the faubourg of Kara belnaia. No positive accounts had been received of the movements of Schamyl. An English division is cruising before the Fleche of Arabat, to prevent the Russians from repairing the roads. It is said that after the evacuation of Kertch by the allies the Russians re-en tered it, and burnt all the depots of of corn that still re mained. The allies occupy the fort of St Paul, about a league distant from Kertch." " MADRID, 3d.—The report of Cabrera having entered Catalonia turns out to be false. The Prince of Orange left Cadiz on the 28th ult., steering for the Mediter ranean." The Emperor has received M. von der Heydt, Prussian Minister of Commerce and Public Works, who has been sent by his Sovereign to visit the exhibition. 't he Nouvelliste of Marseilles states that in addi tion to the troops which have recently arrived at that port for the East, 11,000 more are very shortly expected. The King of Portugal on Thursday received, at a private audience, M. Barrot, French Minister at Brussels ; his Majesty also received Mme. Bar rot. M. Barrot was formerly Minister at Berlin. The King likewise gave an audience to M. Lam bert, agent of Messrs. Rothschild. In the even ing, a grand dinner in honour of the King was given by the King of the Belgians at Laeken. The departure of his Majesty and of his Royal brother was to take place yesterday at one o'clock. BOURSE, AUG. 4.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

The Venice Gazette mentions a rumour of serious disturbances baying occurred at Ancona, in which a sergeant and a captain were killed, and martial law had been proclaimed in consequence. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG', July 25.—Within the last three days we have had no less than four large fires, and rumours are current that they are the work of incendiaries. Although the government has not failed to institute strict researches, nothing has transpired tending to criminate any one. The foreigners residing in this city are, however, looked upon with suspicion, and orders have been given to the secret police to keep a doubly rigorous watch on their movements. All the accounts from the south are full of de tails of the marching of troops. A letter from Cherson says that every day the inhabitants are attracted to their windows by the gay music of the military bands marching throughout the otherwise quiet and deserted streets, at the head of their regi ments. On the other hand, the noise of paddle ' wheels in the waters of the Dnieper was seldom heard, though the quietude was lately disturbed by the arrival of the Russian war-steamer Andia, with officers on board, sent to inspect the progress made in the defensive works being thrown up at the mouth of the river. The reports as to the harvest in the south are very unsatisfactory, and the unusual heat of the month of. May appears to have dried and burned up the young crops. The Invalide Busse, of July 27, contains the fol lowing : " Aide de-Camp General de. Berg. commander of the troops in Finland, states, that on July 20 a frigate, a steamer, a corvette, and a gun-boat, carrying the Eng lish flag, appeared before Friedrichschamm. At 10 o'clock a.m. on the following day, these vessels, arranged in line, commenced an uninterrupted cannonade against our coast batteries, but, being received by a well-sus tained fire on the part of our artillery, and our carabineer marksmen, were obliged to retire after an enagement of two hours' duration." The St. Petersburg 'Journal, of the 28th of July, contains an additional correspondence between Ad miral Dundas and Prince Dolgorouky, relative to the Hango affair. It consists of—first, a letter from Admiral Dundas to the Russian Minister of War, claiming, according to instructions received by him front the Admiralty, the liberation of Lieutenant Geneste and the other members of the crew of the Cossack made prisoners on that occasion. Secondly, the reply of Prince Dolgorouky, refusing to liberate them, on the ground that the prisoners are legiti mate prisoners of war ; and, thirdly, a report from the burgomaster of the town of Raumo, in Fin land, which endeavours to show that the English took an unwarranted advantage of a flag of truce towards that town. A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg, re ceived via Berlin, states that Prince Gortschakoff had telegraphed to the Russian Government that, up to the Ist of August, nothing new had occurred at Sebastopol. AUSTRIA. The Post Ampt Gazette, under date of Vienna 31st ult., says :—" A very long conference was held yesterday at Count Buol's, between that Minister and the Turkish and French Ambas sadors. Arif Effendi had received despatches from Constantinople relative to the affairs of the Principalities ' and of Servia, and also con nected with the conferenceswhich are to commence at Vienna on the fourth point." The Archduke Charles Louis, brother to the Emperor of Austria, has been appointed to the Lieutenantcy of Tyrol, and Count Bissingen to that of Venice. A letter from Vienna in the Breslau Gazette, says :—" We learn that the government is about COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AuclusT 4. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena, em barked in the Fairy yesterday afternoon, and went towards Southampton to meet Prince Albert, on his return from the camp at Aldershott. The Prince arrived at Southampton soon after four o'clock, and went on board the Fairy in Southampton Water. After a short cruise the Queen and Prince returned to Osborne at seven o'clock. The Princess Louisa took carriage airings both yes• terday and to-day. AUGUST 5. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Alfred, visited Haslar Hospital yesterday. The royal party disembarked from the Fairy opposite the hospital, where Vice• Admiral Sir Thos. Cochrane was in waiting to receive her Majesty. Captain Dacres and the officers of the establishment attended the Queen, who went round the wards and minutely inspected all parts of the building. The Countess of Desert has succeeded Viscountess Canning as Lady in Waiting. 1 Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the Fo reign -office, Downing-street.

The noble earl has a select family circle assembled at the castle. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury have, durng the past week, entertained a large party at Hat field House, Herts, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli. M.P., and Mrs. Disraeli, the Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, M.P., and Mrs. Walpole, Lord and Lady Colchester, Lord Stanley, Lady Cowley, and the Hon. Admiral Percy, being among the guests.
