Yesterday an, adjourned meeting of the Metropolit an Board of Works was held in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; John Thwaites,-Esq., in the chair. The members met for the following purposes—first, "To receive a memorial from the vestry of the parish of Rotherhithb, Surrey, objecting to certain portions of the engineer's plan for the sewage interception, &c., sou th o f the Thames, and also praying that the same might be modified ; secondly, "To read a letter from Mr. J. J. Morewood, relative to the great London drainage scheme ;" and thirdly, "To consider further the report ot the engineer of the board on the sewage interception and main drainage of the districts south of the Thames." After a brief discussion, the memorial of the vestry of Rotherhithe was unanimously received and adopted. The CHAIRMAN said that he bad received the follow ing letter from Mr. J. J. Morewood : Sir,— I observe that there are notices given for bring ing before the Metropolitan Board of Works the adoption of plaps for the drainage of the soath side of the Thames, and that the new plan proposed by Mr. Bazalgette is by him estimated to cost 831,696/. The consulting engineers to the late Metropolitan Commission of Sewers have, how ever, estimated a less extended scheme of Mr. B aalgette's at 1,250,0001., whilst the plan tested by all the first engi neers of the day can be executed at a cost of 349,877/. I venture to trouble you %ith a word upon the subject. When the late Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers held their first meeting, a letter was read from Mr. Apsley Pellatt, M.P., in which he :.toted " that he had taken con siderable interest" in plans of sewerage, and especially in that designed by Mr. Morewood, and from questions asked by him and answered by Lord Palznerston, he was given to understand " that the largo sum of money granted last ses sion would be applicable to that scheme ;" and he suggested that the " Commission should take into its serious conside ration Mr. Morewood's plans and estimates,' espe ially : a the latter showed a very considerable economy as'compared with the one before the late Commission." This plan was accordingly submitted to the late com mission of sewers, with the ren3.4rk that a select committee of the House of Commons had fully approved the scheme of drainage, although they-could not sanction the financial arrangement. In compliance with the request made by the commissioners 2 .1 plans and sections were forwarded to them in 1854. Subsequently, at a meeting of the chairmen, vice-chair men, and members of the variotis public boards of the six parishes of Southwark, it was resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is most'essential for the borough of Southwark that a plan of sewers upon the system as set forth by the great London scheme, as ap plied to that borough, be carried out without delay. This is one of the plans which your engineer reports to be now before your bo..rd. lam now desirous of establishing the correctness of the favourable opinion thus expressed respectively by the se lect ccminittee of the House of Commons, by the ho. our able member for Southwark, and by the various local boards referred to, and have to bag the f av o ur o f yo ur submitting to the board the propriety of their examining my plans and hearing my explanations, before e. final deter mination be adopted for at once proceeding with the works necessary for the complete interception of the sewage of the metropolis.—Yours truly, J. J. MOREWOOD. To John Thwaites, Esq., Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works. He (the chairman) thought he was bound to bring be fore the board whatever was sent to him, no matter what it might be. letter was then received. Mr. LESLIE then Paul he did not wish to second the amendment of Mr. Howe, moved at the last court. All he wanted was to bring forward the plan of their chief engineer, Mr. B , zaigette, and to adopt it. The CHAIRMAN wished to call the attention of the board to a letter from Lord Panmure, as follows : War Department, Pall-mall, May 19, 1856. Sir,— In reference to the report of the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, dated 3d ult., "Oa the sewage interception and main drainage of the districts south of the Thames," according to which an extensive reservoir is to be made within a short distance of the Royal Arsenal. And that the proposed outlet is not one mile from the north:east end of the Royal Arsenal, and as the deposit will be floated up the river to the Arsenal at neap tides, it is apprehended that the health of the persons em ployed in the several departments will be seriously affected, and that the efficiency of those departments will be de stroyed if the scheme be carried out. I aui desired to re quest, therefore, that you will submit this subject to the serious consideration of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and favour Lord Panmure with their.views as to the ex pediency, under the circumstances stated, of adopting this measure.

A. special general Ciurt of this Company was held yesten'ay at their house, in Leadenhall s street, to confirm or otherwise the resolution which was passed by the Court of Proprietors on the 14th inst. .for granting a pension of 5,0001, a-year out of the revenues of the Company to the Marquis of Dalhousie, as a mark of their deep sense of the great ability, integrity, z.-al, and untired energy display e d b y t h at distinguished noble man in all departments of the Government during his tenure of office as Governor-General of India ; Colonel Sykes, Chairman of the Court of Directors, in the chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read, Tile CHAIRMAN informed the Court that it had been specially summoned for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors for their approha.tion,a resolution agreed to by the Court on the 14th inst, for granting th.the Mar quis of Dalhensie a pension of 5,0001. a-year on the ~rounds therein stated, and he now moved that the Court do confirm that resolution. Mr. D. R. MANGLES, Deputy-Chairmin; seconded the motion. Mr. TWINING was anxious to express his hearty con currence in the resolution. Of all the ; reiphitions of a similar character,—and he had known he never knew of one which had stronger claims on tde Company than the present. Considering the position of a Gover nor-General of India to he one of the most difficult and important that came within the reach of any appoint ment that could be made by the East India CoMpany, it was a great satisfaction to see it person who had been ap Pointed to that great undertaking quit his pO4 with the, -warm approbation ;, - of those who appointed him. No body who contemplated and eiaMined the acts of Iserd Dalhousie could fail to find thatlio hafleft Itsdfa 4 irra . most advanced state. A new era, as it svertaliadssjitsag up, and the present Governor-General would finerheS' path suseo•hed by the acts of his predecessor, and he hoped that that noble Lord would carry out all thosc measures which had for their object the happiness and p - , ,Rperity of the people of India. Mr. LEWIN (IA not think that the rule of Lori Dal housie had added to the stability or the general coriteet of our empire in India. He be'ieved that the native princes of India were all ready to cembine against the British rule. It was well known in India that our rule was opposed by every naive prince. The principle of the British Government being to grasp all India, and that principle being known to the inhabitants, it was most natural that they should be opposed to it. The r ght hon. baronet (Sir J. Li ej,g) had drawn a compari son between this pension to Lord Dalhousie and the pensions received by the civil servants of India ; but there exited the greatest possible distinction between the two descriptions of pension. The civil servant re ceived only a portion of his salary during his services, the remainder of which was laid by to forma fund out of which he should be pail an annuity during his life, in order that he might not become a charge upon the annual revenue of India. But this grant of 5 0001. a year to Lord Dalhou-ie was, in fact, a gratuity. No two things, therefore, could be more dissimilar. After some further observation, the hon. gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, the following resolution :-- " That it is premature to vote a sum of money out of the territorial revenues of India, while we are unassured that they will yield a surplus capable of providing for it. Equally so, while we are without the assurance that the moral sense of the Marquis cf Dalhousie will permit him to accept a gratuity in the shape of a sum of money drawn from the pop rest ryots in the world, the ryots of India."

" Although the Government of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Oldnburg has also adhered to the said propositions; the aele g ate of his Royal Highness in the negotiation on the dues could not take part in this acs, being absent from Copenhageo. " The delegate of his Danish Majesty, in .recapitulat ing the propositions which he made in the Conferences of the 4th of January and the 2d of February of the present year, states them as follows : • "Denmark renounces the Sound and Belt Dues in consideration for a compensation of 35,000,000 of rix dollars (rigstnynt) on the following conditions : " a. Tue pUrelase shall include all the Powers inte rested in the commerce and nasigation of the Sound and of the Belts.

"The payment of the quota which, according to table N. 13., presented in the Conference of the 21 of Feb., fall to the lot of each Power represented will be as sured to Denmark in such manner as will seem to it satisfactory. "In toe Conference held on the 4th of Jan. last were present the delegates of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Great B ri t a i n , th e N et h er l an d s, P russ i a, Russia, acid of Sweden and Norway. "At the Conference of the 21 of Feb., in addition to the above-named delegates, the delegate of his Royal Highness the Grand 'Jake of 01 , 1snburg was present. "The delegate of his Danish 51.tjasty repeats the de claration already made by him in the C inference of the 21 of Feb., that, according t ) the precise orders of his Government, the sum indivatel above is the .miniinuin of the indemnity which Denmark thinks she has a right. to ask for the abolition of the dues.

HALL AND TED SUNDA? 2.11:094 Last evening a meeting, convened by the churchwar dees in compliance with a requisitior, was held in Hall's Riding-school, Albaeiy-street, for the purpose of eliciting an expression of public opinion on the recent stoppage of the Sunday bands. Mr. J. A. Nichelay presided. The Chairman having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. P. GuAIIAM proposed a resolution expressing the regret of tee meeting at the concession made by the Prime Minieter to the views of a party, and in opposition to his 07.11 convictions. Mr. OVEBTON seconded the resolution, which was fur. ther supported by Lord Raynham and Mr. D'lffanger. Sir B. HALL, who was loudly cheered, said thetas the representative of Marylebone he felt it due to his consti tuents to come bet , ele them and state, expressly and fully, the circumstances under which he hail of d seed the bands to play on the Sunday afternoon. His first act after ac cepting 'office was to see how far he could benefit those who had 'placed such entire confidence iu him. (Hear ) Having so long represented the great borough of Mary lebone, he felt that he could judge of the wants of the peop e. I r ordering the bands to play on Sundays he Celt that he W,tB giving a boon to the working men, and doing g •od to many, while at the same time be did net °deed his Maker. It the Sunday bands were so bad, and gave so much offence, why was he not found fault with in the House of Commons ? (Hear.) No sooner had he grante.l a band to Victoria and Regent's-park than he was accused of pursuing an aggressive policy, and it was fureleer said that had he confined the band to lien engt .n-ear lens he would not have been interfered with. His (Six: D ß. Hal's) reply was, that if the bands were stopped in the Regent's end V.ctoria-parks there should be no music in Kensington-gardens. (Cheers.) He would not say one word, although he knew a great deal, about how the various petitions were got up. (sear, hear.) The prayers of some of the memorials called for the closing the Post-offiee, the park gates, and that the trains and steam-boats should cease to run. Not content with this at home, they actually wished that the s tine policy should be inculcated it all foreign coo: tries, to which we cent accredited ministers. Mr. Baines—(hisses)—was a man of great influence, but be tore he attempted to interfere with the bands in the Lon don parks he , hould look at home. Why did he not u-e the mighty engine he bad at his disposal, the Leeds Mercury, in putting a stop to the numerous trains which pass thiceigh Leeds? (lear.) It had bees said that the working men could have bands on the Saturday after. noon, hut he (S r B. Hall) felt that, were such a proposal carried it, it would, in many cases, attract the man, with his wages ie his pocket ; and it might so happen that the husband w iuld not reach home in time for the ,wife to eo co market ; lie 'ce, she and her family would suffer much inconven ence. However, up to the present time - lie Saturday calf-holiday was not general, and even if it were it was not the question at issue. Had the people wieeeeduCted themselves, then indeed some complaint might have been made. He (Sir B. Hall) had visited the harks on the 11th inst., and ho never felt more eati.fied wi h any act of his life than he did on that day. (Hear, hear.) In order to ascertain beyond all doubt if there had been any disorder which might have escaped him, he hi,d a tdressed a letter to Mr. Broughton, the police magistrate, and he was happy to say that the magistrate had replied that he had not one charge of disorderly conduct on the day following the a-sembling of the 258,000 persons in the park. If the strings of Puritan ism were pulled too tight, God alone knew what would be the result. (Cheers.) Ono word of advice he would give to the people of the metropolis :—lt was to be pa tient, and continue the same orderly conduct which had hitherto marked their proceedings. (Hear, hear.) It was to be regretted that their opponents were so un charitable as to designate those who differed from them as heathens, but it was a fortunate thing that all good ness and Christianity in this country were not contained in Exeter-hall. (Cheers.) But if the Exeter-hall agitators would throw open the portals of that vast building, he (Sir B. Hall) would be ready to inset any number of hie opponents, and explain and defend the course he had taken—a course which, after the expression of public opi ion in St. Paucras, and that of the vast assemblage before him, he had certainly no cause to regret. (Cheers.) Toe right hon. baronet re sumed hi- seat amidst deafening cheers. Mr. FARNHAM intimated his desire to move an amendmet!t, and after many feeble attempts to obtain hearing, retired amidst hisses and cries of "No Exeter Hall." The resolution was put and carried amidst loud ap plaue, a few hands only being held up against it. A resolution appointing a deputatio❑ to wait on the Prime Minister to urge upon him the propriety of revok ing the order for disc-mtiouing the bands, was also adopted, arid a petition to the Queen having been agreed to the proceedings terminated.

To the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works. A discussion arose as to whether the board were to be led by that statement, when Deputy HARRISON said that no one could be affected at all by the scheme of Mr. Bazalgette, because it had not been tried. After a few• other remarks relating to the above letter, The CHAIRMAN said he thought that the only point which they bad then to consider was the discharge of the sewage, which be thought might ea.ily he arranged. Mr. SAVAGE was of that the board had better adjourn the consideration of this letter to a future day. The CHAIRMAN hoped they would not adjourn, for if they were to do so it would be wasting most valuable time. He must say that four meetings in one week to consider that subject %sae rather over the mark. _ Mr. WARE rose and seconded the amendment of Mr. Hows. Mr. NICHOLAY said he hoped if the amendment of Mr. Hows was lost, they would not go on discussing the sewage interception and main drainage south of the Thames, without they had some other plan besides Mr. Bazalgette's to judge by. Mr:CRELLIN'said he felt himself in a somewhat awk ward position. Although he had complained that he had only seen one plan presented to the board for their choice, which was in fact no choice at a I—(laughter, and " Hear, he 40—they had no alternative but to adopt this plan of Mr. Bazalgette, because they had no other plan to substitute for it. There was no seconder, and the amendment was lost. Mr. TURNER, considered that Mr. Bazalgette's plan was worthy of the approval of the board, and he thought if it was carried out it would redound to the credit of the board. He therefore should support the motion of Mr. Carpmai-l. _ _ Mr. LESLIE then gave notice "that he would bring forward, at the earliest possible period, his plan for the adoption or otherwise by the Metropolitan Board of Works, for the constant discharge of the sewage without the necessity of reservoirs and at points of discharge much below the metropolis." Mr. DIFFANGER said he wished to state that, if that was received, he would be compelled himself to vote against both plans, which course he did not wish to take. Mr. LESLIE said that the highest credit was due to Mr. Bazalgette t. r what he hal dine in bringing that plan before the board. He (\lr. Leslie) had paid great attention to the whole subject, and he thought they were depending too much upon the experiment 4 of the float. He was present when the arrangements were made for the drawing of the survey, which was then on the table. Captain Barcett wrote to him, a little while ago, coin plaming of the enormous amount of sewage pouring out of the discharge at Deptford. He thought that there was not the slightest reason why they should not dis charge the whole sewage at all hours of the tide, pro vided it was lower down than Plumstead. The metro politan pumping stations, be thought, were things that would be objectionable. In his opinion, the two most important and pinching points in the matter were, how low down they were to take the sewers, and how large were those sewers to be. Mr. Leslie went on to state hiS opinion on many other points of the scheme of Mr. Baza!gette. The meeting adjourned until Monday next, for the fur ther consideration of the subject.

Yesterday the 28th anniversary festival of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum was held at Highbury Barn Ta vern. John Johnstone, Esq., of the firm of Messrs. Cal ‘,ert and Co., was in the chair, supported by. Messrs. Vousley, Palmer, Hughes, Ridges, R a ven, Ed wards, Turner, M`RaP, Thompson, Rountree, Bryen, G. \Vat ter, Findlay, Smalley. Smith, Bingley. Mitchell, &c,, and above 400 members of the trade. This was one of those remarkable gatherings of the licensed victuallers which the cause of the charities founded and supported by themselves annually calls together, on several occasions, number of the trade, who vie with each other in promot ing the excellent institutions which their forethought and care provide for their less fortunate brethren. From the report which was read by Mr. Jones, the secretary, it appeared that the subscriptions during the last year amounted to 2,8521. 53. 6(1. Acknowledments were made to the firms of tre were, not only in LwYndon, but at Burton-on-Trent, Isleworth, Romford, &c., most of whom had contributed , 50 guineas each. It was stated also that most of the firms of distillers bad contributed 25 guineas each. Most of the wine Merchants had also contributed liberally, In addition to the annual scb scriptions, a sum of 1501. had been cleared by the annual ball, and eleven guineas, after all expenses paid, by the annual dinner. Legacies had been left to the institution by Mr. \Vallew, of Ifwgerstone. 441. ; Mr. James, of Pluinstead, 90/. ; Mr. Christopher Crawford, 351. 10 4. By means of this as si-tance all claims on the institution up to Christmas last had been discharged, leaving a surplus of 8001., which had been added to .the 13.0001. odd deposited with brewers at 5 per cent., making the deposited capi tal of the charity over 13,9001. In the 25 years during which the institution had been established, 374 inmates had been received into the asylum, and there were now 150 per-tons within it, who had not only separate dwel lings, but medical attendance, nurses in illness, a weekly allowance of coals, a weekly sum of Be, 6d. to married couples, and 7s. each to single persons. This was done :it an annual cost of 1,4471. There were four vacancies in the asylum, which would be filled up at the close of the present year. An earnest appeal was made by th e secretary, in announcing the subscriptions, for assistance in making up a sum of 1 1,0001., which was till want ing to make the capital of the charity sufficient for all its purposes, independently of all casual and fortuitous circumstances. The CHAIRMAN, who presided in consequence of the unavoidable absence of Edmund Calvert, Esq., arising from a domestic affliction, very ab!y advocated the in terests of the socitty. A number of toasts especially connected with the ob jects of •the evening were given and duly honoured. The list of subscriptions announced was exceedingly lengthy. Amongst the most noticeable donations of the day were those which had been obtained by the instru mentality of the firm of brewers of which the chairm , n is a member. Among them was tdrnund Calvert, Esq., 50 guineas ; John Johnstone. Esq., the chairman, 50 guineas ; Nicholas Calvert, Esq., 50 guineas ; Alfred Phillips, Esq., 50 guineas ; Me-ars. Calvert and Co., annually, 20 guineas ; making a total obtained through the means of Messrs. Calvert, of 457/. Most liberal donations were announced from all the principal brewers, distillers, corn merchants, and a vast number of mem bers of the trade. The total amount obtained on the occasion of this fes tival, which was every way satisfactory, was about 1,0001. LAUNCH OP A NETV STEAM-SHIP FOR THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL COMPANY.

The whole of the men on the premises were regaled in a liberal style, and the ceremony passed off in the most gra tifying wanner. This is the largest vessel that has been built by Messrs. Summers and DAy, and we feel justified in saying that it has given the greatest satisfaction. DEITII OF AMERICAN CELEBRITIES. —Among the Prominent d ea th s , sa y s a correspondent, since my last I notice that of the Hon. Ogden H(.ffinan, the most talented arid eloquent member of the New York bar ; J. G. Percival, the well-known poet ; and D r . J o h n C. Warren, one of the first physicians in this country, and or a number of years president of the Medical Society of Maseachusette ; as ho was also at the time of his de. :ease president of the Boston Society of Natural His t Ty. The talents of the deceaaed have been duly recog nised in Europe as well as America—he having received complimentary diplomas from medical institutions in `London, Paris, Florence, Naples, and other countries. '`: , , [ PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. SOOIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNBRS. IN DISTRESS. The juiblee festival of this society was held last night at the London Tavern ; E,ral GRANVILLE in the chair. There were about a hundred and fifty other gentlemen present, After the usual toasts, . . • The CnaiumaN proposed the "Allied Armies and Navies ;" and as there was no one present who was directly • connected with either service, he begged to couple with the toast the name of a gentleman who bad at least many thousand men under his command, and who knew sernething shout earthworks—he meant Sir Charles Fox. (Cheers.) Sir C. Fox expressed the• embarrassment he felt at finding himself placed in so very unexpected a situa. tine. He had heard many foreigners of different nations express their opinion of British soldiers and sailors, and they all said that there were no such troops and sailors in the world. Not long ago he heard _the secretary to the French Minhter of War say that the manner in which, the Englisii army had repulsed the attack at In kermann was the most wonderful thing in .the annals of war. (Cheers.) He (Sir C. Fox) had many oppor tunities of speaking with the Emperorof the French, and he could assure the meeting that his Majesty regarded the alliance with this country as of the utmost import ance. He had often heard it asked whether the 'Emperor was sincere in his desire 'to continue the con nexion between the two nations ? He (Sir Charles Fox) 'had put tt-e question to him, and his Majesty told him that the alliance was not only the right thing,- but that it was to the intere-t of both countries that tlaefrienilly relations which had happily sprung up between them ahiltikki be miaisitaineet - (Cheer: )• There bactiipser been a ruler of France who possessed such political infor -mation as the pruant Eeriperor„ . lpr he had an_pppor runity of studying the constitutions not only of'F?ance, but of England and America, and he must be can vinced that ihe English Alliance would be advantageous not only to both countries, but to his own interests.- ( Loud Cheers.) _ _ EXTRA° ROI During the last 6 or 7 weTes(-ays the Royal Cornwall Gazdte) much exci cement has prevailed iu the neigh bourhood of Tregeare, the seat of Mr. John King Leth bridge, in c.msequence of the great and mysterious slaughter of sheep and lambs I Jelongtme to him and the occupiers of the firms immediately adjoining. On the first alarm that several sheep and lambs had been killed, mangled, and torn in the most shocking manner, the whole of Mr. Lathbridge'e farm servants and also the farmers in the vicinity, commenced a systematic watch over their flock.. Yet, notwithstanding, the slaughter continued, sweep and lambs were killed on several occa sions in the very field surrounded by perhaps a deter mined party of at least 15 or 20 on the look out. All kinds of conjectures as to the destroyer were made ; some were of opinion. that wild dogs infested their neigh beurhoed, others that a wolf was secreted somewhere near the scene of the disasters ; then the idea of witch craft was stoutly maintained by a party. At length Mr. Lethbridge's shepherd had found a clue ; he had found a hole lined with dog's hair in a hedge, and a similar nest in an adjoining plantation. This discovery filled the whole party in the district with hope and encourage ment- —the men tuned out in great force, the locality in fact was literally surrounded by anxious watchers, but in spite of all this, the slaughter continued, and although the sheep and lambs were for the most part killed within a few feet of some 5 or 6 men purposely watching, no owe could give the slightest clue to unravel the mystery. Six weeks thus pissed away, In the meantime Mr. G. Adams, of Lidcott Farm, in the very heart of the dis trict, on Friday week called to his councils Mr. Leth bridge's principal farm servants (except the shepherd) and a neighbouring farmer. Mr. Adams a-ked whether it had not ( cedrred to them as strervee that Sieion Kniver, the shepherd of Mr. Lethbridge'sfl ick, should always be the first man to fled the carcases of the cattle destroyed. Tney fully discussed the point, and they fiend that in almost every instance (and by this time between 30and 40 sheep had been destroyed) Simon Kniver was the man who had found the slaughtered cattle ; that Simon Kniver was the only man, of all the men on the look out., who had seen dogs in the fields. He also was the only man who had fired at dogs, and this not when in the company of any other person. Simon, too, had dis covered the "dogs' nests" in the hedge and plantation. This brought to the mind of one of the p a r t y that Simon had his hair cut about the time the hairy nests were discovered ; and that the hair fou nd therein was very like his own. 'rne result of this conference wag, that instead of watching any longer for dogs, a determination was come to to watch the shepherd ; and with this view Mr. Lethbridge's hind arranged to station Simon Kniver to watch in a field, adjoining Mr. , Adams's g roun d , w h ere an eye could be kept on ho Tn. he rest of this singular story is coon told. Mr. George Adams was right; but one ewe and lamb swelled the list o f those already de stroyed before Simon Kniver was detected and in custody. He was taken to Launceston, to the inae ' istratee, on Saturday, and was remanded till Tuesday. On Sunday the prisoner made a most desperate attempt to eectpe ; hut after a short run was captured. He was brought op before the magistratee on Tuesday, and after a lenge heeed examination of witnesses, includin most of the persons wh o h a d b een victimised, was fully com mitted to take his t ria l at t h e next C ornwa ll a ssizes, on two distinct charges, for maliciously killing and maiming cattle. Since being in custody the prisoner has stated that he did not kill more than one-half of the sheep de stroyed, and that be oueht not to suffer for the whole. It cane out in evidence that, while watching with others, the prisoner would pretend that he heard dogs or some singular noise in some particular place near, which he would name ; he would then rush to the spot, and alter being absent a short time, would return and report the death of either a sheep or a lamb, or perhaps several of -etch. In this interval he had slain Lis victims. This leers up the mystery. Being tee ehepherd of the flock, int] one of the party on the watch, he well knew their re-pective stations, and also the exact position of the sheep, and could then easily arrange and carry out his diabolical purpose. He is about twenty-one years old, and has been in the employ of Mr. Lethbridge from a boy. " Tun delegate of the Emperor at the same time de clares that the Imperial Cabinet consents to contribute to the redemption cf the Sound Dues for the quotura falling to the charge of Rissia according to the ab , ve indicated division, provided always ' that all the Powers represented in the present negotiation consent also, on their part to the same conditions for the redemption of the S9und Dues.' "The delegate of Denmark acoepts this reserve, de claring it to be conformable to the views of his own Government. " The delegate of his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway declares that his Government accepts the pro. positions of the Danish Government, as well as regards the principle of redemption as the amount, of indemnity claimed by Denmark. "The delegates of Russia and of Sweden and Norway point out to observation that the mode of payment of the different quota must be the subject of a special negotia tion between Denmark on the one hand and each of the contracting Powers on the other, reserving it therefore for a private agreement to fix the m e thod and term of payment of the quota falling respectively to the charge of Russia and of Sweden and Norway. "The delegate of Denmark adheres to this observation. " Finally, the same delegate having pointed out that the present negotiation is temporarily stopped in conse quence of a difference of opinion which has arisen be tween the Danish Government and that of her Britannic Majesty, that, consequently the labours of the Conference on the dues might remain a long time in suspense, the length of which it is impossible to fix, the delegate of Russia declares, 'That the adhesion of the Imperial Go vernment to the Danish propositions, as defined above, shall remain in full force until such time as the Copen hagen Cabinet itself shall declare the negotiation broken off, and withdraw the propositions it has made.' " The delegate of Denmark having expressed the satis faction with which he takes note of this declaration, and the delegate of Sweden and N.,rway ha , ing declared that he was convinced he would be authorised to make a similar declaration as soon as be should have received the instructions which, the case not having been fore seen, could not have been given to him before, the pre sent delegates agree to leave the protocol open for the eventual adhesion of the other Governments treating with Danmark for a final settlement of the SJund and Belt question._ " bone at Copenhagen, May 9, 1850.

Of the new acquisitions of Russia on the river Amoor by which the frontier of the empire has been advanced as far as to the Japanese Sea, and made to include a new territory nearly equal in extent to that of France, little hitherto has been certainly known. The Russians themselves, as may be supposed, were not eager to pro mulgate exact information about the state of their settle meets in that regions, since this would have enabled their antagonists to repeat under more favourable aus pices, those attacks which during the campaign of last year fa led t trough ignorance of localities. The allies seem to have mi-sed the mouth of the Atnoor, or at all events, to have kept at too great a de-tance from it to be able to obtain a knewledge of the establishments founded by the Russians, whilst on the other hand the de-criptions given by American merchant captains of a second Sebastopol built on the Atnoor, with a garrison of 10,000 men, and the like, were such palpable exagge rations, that people were tempted to look upon the whole Russian colony at the Atnoor a- a myth, a settlement in fairy land. Nevertheless the fficial reports of the Rue. sitin actin rals Savojka and Putjatiu, describing the tnili tary operations in the Tataric channel, and the return it the latter officer through Siberia to St. Petersburg, enleished in the Morskoi Sbornil•, or official gazette of the Russian Admiralty, relates some particu are that may serve t, r eata towards partially ascertaining the progress made by the Russians down to the close of la-tt year, in occupying and colonising that part of the Maudshoo district which is watered by the Amoor. Not far from the mouth of the Amoor, and on its right hank, lie the posts or forts of Marunsk, or Kisi, and Nicolsjersk, the latter of which appears to be the more important of the two. For here it was that the squad ron of Rear-Admiral Savojka, consisting of the Aurora frieate, tee Olivuzze csrvette, the transports Dwina, Baikal, and Irtish, came to anchor in the June of 1855, wider the protection of the Latteries that had been erected there These batteries were probably constructed in the year 1852, as allusion is made to the observa tions, extending over three years, made by Rear-Admi ral Nevelek j respecting the course of the ice in the Amoor. Frene these it would seem that the estuary of the river is not free from ice before the Ist or 13th of June, two 'months later than its disappearance in the Neva, although the mouth of the latter stream is nearly eight degrees higher to the north. This phenomenon is owing to the well-known influence of the climate in the north-eastern part of Asia, an influence that will assuredly diminish in no trifling measure the advantages which the Russians expect to derive from the free navi gation of the Amour. It is evident, however, from the reports, that they make the most of the short period dining which the river is navigable, and that they pos sess no inconsiderable number of vessels there, for they talk about the second and third divisions of the Amoor flotilla, that arrived in June and July, with settlers on beard, and who, having landed between Maruneck aed Nicolajevsk, proceeded, under cover of two companies from the 14th Siberian battalion of the line, to build dwellings. Even at that early period this flotilla pos. sessed at, least one steamer. From the Anoor the Russian establishments are already advancing in a southerly direction along the eastern coast of Mandshooria. When the allies came, about the end of May, in 1855, for the second time, to Castries Bay, where Admiral Savojka had been shortly before on his passage from Kamschatka, and where he had been blockaded by a divi-ion of the English squad ron, they found it entirely abandoned, and disccvered merely the sins of its having beets used as a temporary encampment by the Russians. The interval that elapsed between this aria the reappearance of the enemy was not neglected on the Russiai i side. The Governor-General of East Siberia, Moravieff, repaired in person to the spot, and under his superintendence the works were carried on with su c h enemy t aK when Commodore Met reappeared in Castries Bay with the Sybil frigate and the corvettes Eric , neter aed Hornet, in October, he found a settlement there in an advantageous position, a garrison of Cossacks, siilore. and gooners, and the place so far fortified that it was able to withstand successfully the bombardment opened against it by the ships. The new colony, which already carries on a brisk trade with the Americans, who supply it with all kinds of pro viione, and especially of ammunition, bears the name of Alexandrovsk ; it is situate on the little stream of Nelly, and consists of a certain number of tenements with magazines, an hospital, and a church in a churchyard. Quite close to Salmon Bay there is a village of Gdjaks, where the inhabitants seem to live on very friendly terms with the Russians. Beyond a doubt the latter have since then constructed a tort, also on the opposite e , ,ast of Stuz,alio, for the purpose of commanding the Tataric Channel, and securing, as also eventually closing, the entrance to the Aumor from she southern side. With the cFs , ation of hostilities will of course cease the motives that have hitherto induced the Russians to keep their undertakings a secret, and we may, therefore, expect to see the veil raised, with which they have en deavoured to conceal their meat recent settlements so important for the trade of Siberia. A map of the Amoor by Admiral Putjatin and his officers will very shortly appear in St. Petersburg, as we are informed by the Morskoi Sbornik. We read in Galignani—"Btfore the departure of ,ae Court for St. Cloud, M. E. Giraud, portrait painter, was permitted to take a likeness of the Prince Imperial. The artist is said to have succeeded perfectly in seizing the resemblance, and the fine blue eyes of the imperial ihftnt in the picture arc precisely similar to those of the Empress." Great numbers of persons have been arrested in .Paris and the provinces. There is much discontent in the Faubourg St. Marceau, chiefly on account of the , o3ear• news of lodging and provisions 4 772 1 287 The ciiief part of these vessels were entered at the Cus tom-house on Thursday and Friday, and the amount of dock dues received upon the ships and cargoes in each of the two days were—May 15, 5,307/. 2s. ; May 16, 4,0871. 15s. 11d. ; total, two days, 9,394/. 17s. 11d.— Liverpool Albion.

Stampa, Constantinople; A. Guidicy, Smyrna ; and E. Muir, Malta. Earl Gaaeivinn then proposed the toast of the even ing, "Success to the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress." (Cheers.) The noble earl expressed his full concurrence in the principle upon which the society bad been founded. If it had bee' the law for so many hun dred years that no Englishman should be allowed to die of starvation, it was surely right that some means shoe d be taken to extend that pricciple to foreigners, who could not demand the aid of a parish. The society, since its foundation, bad been gradually but constantly increasing its sources of inc wee. It had been said, and with justice, that this country owed much in the way if improvement to its science, its commerce, and its ma , u factures to the ieflex of foreigners ; and it was, there fore, most proper that the work of the society, which was to extend aid to necessitous foreigners, without dis tinction of country or creed, should be supported as became the riches and the resources of the nation. (Elear, hear.) There had been some question as to whether a charity dinner was the right way to collect money for a benevolent purpose. He (Lord Granville) bad sometimes been inclined to take the opposite view ; but still he must confess that " the proof the pudding was in the eating." (Laughter and cheers.) He found that the average sum collected at the dinner during the last 15 years had been fifty times greater than that which had been obtained after many of the excellent semi ins which had been preached for the society. (Cheers and laughter.) It was a fortunate and graceful coincideece that this jubilee festival should have taken place at a period when the war had been concluded by a peace which he believed was honourable to our selves, which he hoped would be lasting, and which, he rejoiced to say, because the fact would certainly tend to increase its durability, was humiliating to none of the belligerents concerned. (Cheers.) The progress of society was gradual, for civilisation never made any great step at once. Advance, however, wee at least certain, if each step forward was a little greater than the backward movetnent. (Cheers.) He thought the history of the war—the milder code by which it bad been governed, the traits of humanity which had been shown on both sides—had showed that a consider able progress had been made towards mitigating, aid certainly to ~ a rds shortening, the horrors of war. He thought, too, that whatever might have been'said to the contrary, there was really a very general feeling of thankfulness that it bad pleased Divine Providence to restore to the world the blessings of peace. (Cheers.) He was gratified to observe that notwithstanding the continuance of the war for two years, there were still no fewer than a hundred subjects of the Emperor of Russia receiving as-istance from the society—a number exceed ►ng the average of former years. (Cheers.) Some months ago he had ha.] a conver ation with a distinguished fo reigner, who bad since pubished a very interesting and instructive work on England. That gentleman told him that he had long known England, and that he greatly admired both the country and the wonderful things it had been able to achieve. That, however, which had most perplexed him was to find out what was the par ticular quality which enabled Englishmen to get through their work. But last year he had I eard two eminent members of parliament make each a speech, and be had also heard an eminent popular preacher deliver a sermon. A. new light then struck him, and he at once exclaimed " I have it! It is the patience of Englishmen which en ables them to get through their work." (Loud laugh ter.) Now he (Lord Granville) was nut anxious to make the company afford another illustration of that great English virtue, patienoe, and he should therefore at once conclude by proposing the toast he had already give 1. (Loud cheers.) The treasurer (Mr. J. LABOUCHERE), having proposed the health of the noble chairman, who made an appro priate speech in reply, the proceedings soon afterwards terminated. Sub.criptions amounting to the very liberal sum of 3,0001. and upwards were anhounced, being a sum more than double what had been received on any previ ,us ocnasion. Tne mu-ical entertainments were of an unusually high character, for, in addition to the pr M. lite. Emilie Krall, Herr Pishek, Herr Adolphe Gull mick, Herr Adolphe Schosser, Herr Carl Deichmann, Heir N.laurice Nal,ich, and Mr. Augustus Bratiam, kindly contributed their gratuitous services.
