Were we to judge from appearances Russia must have come triumphantly out of the E tstern difficulty. She is already exhibiting a degree of arrogance and insolence that could only be antici pated from a Conqueror —one who, in the pleni tude of power, could afford to be indulgent, and eould issue her 'ukases to nations who had learned from bitter experience the absolute necessity o' submission, and the impossibility of resisting any resolution at which she had arrived. This is th, return which the Western States have received for their extraordinary forbearance in permitting her to escape the penal consequences of former aggressions. She is still to all intents and purposes the same as she has ever been, and it requires no extraordinary amount of pre science to know that all the sacrifices of men and money to check her aggressive spirit have been worse than useless. We may be told that these demonstrations have been merely intended to operate on Muscovite feelings ; that it would not answer for the AUTO CRAT, at the time of his coronation, to exhibit the slightest symptom of defeat ; and that the high tone manifested in the despatch relative to any interference in Neapolitan matters is merely in tended for his own subjects ! A pettifogging distinction between circulars to diplomatic agents and remonstrances to other Governments has been suggested. But we cannot place much credence on these fine-drawn arguments. We look to acts rather than words. But when both say inas and doings point in the same direction, it is time for those assailed by the " double barrel" to look to their own security, and to see that the actual. m enaces are not carried i n t o pract i cal execution. "The Ide of Serpents" has already afford e d very decided warning as to Russian iutentiong. The Proceedings in reference to the new boun daries, or, more properly speaking, " the rectifi cation of the frontiers," to Kars, and Ismvil, and Reni, save fresh lessons of caution. They proved that the CZAR was already desirous of evading the obligati ons imposed by the Treaty of Paris, and that he wotad only respec t the stipulations contained therein, 2 ' l °ng,i - as it might prove conve nient to do so. Bat there is further corroborative evidence that must convince the most sceptical. The Cabinet of St. Petersb nrg i s o ir u oring great inducements for the forrnrttiu o f steam naviga tion companies in the EUX.I • 110---. 0 11 . the vessels being so constructed as to be "'Able of "elrrYinif guns," or, in fact, being neith er than vessels of war witho u t the a more nor less "'laments, that could be added in a very short time. The ear 13etness with which th e Russian Government has ente red into the speculati on may be P esti mated the fact, that sulAdies, to th e from am ount of betwee a 400,000/. and 500,000/. p er annurn hayel THE SUN, l 4 -ONDON, SATURDAY EVE-:;Nts, been already granted for the furtherance of the project—the line to Alexandria---passing through the Dardanelles —alone receiving 50,000/. per annum, besides other privileges. The shares a!ready command 10 premium. A. matter quite sufficient to direct the eyes of Englia i capitalists in the desired direction. It is needless to say that this is a palpable vio lation of the Treaty so improvidently concluded last April. Some of the projected lines could not by any possibility pay the mere working expenses, to say nothing of a dividend on the capital in vested therein, nor is there any legitimate object that could induce the CZAR to pay such enormous subsidies to the shareholders. It is manifestly an ingenious device to procure vessels that can be converted at a brief notice into an effective navy that could more than match the limited force allowed to the Allied Powers. This decided effort to counteract, or rather to break through, the Treaty so recently entered into, should be promptly and decidedly met. That which could not be directly done should not be tolerated in an underhand manner. Russia is striving to procure English and French capital to construct long lines of military railways. She is now endeavouring to procure a Black Sea Fleet in the same manner, and it is surely time that the Governments, which have al ready submitted to such enormous sacrifices to check her aggressive propensities, should interfere before they are made " laughing-stocks" in the eyes of Europe. A determined attitude, in the first instance, will be all that is required, and it will save a much greater expenditure in the long run. The numerous cases of poisoning, intentionally or by mistake, which have recently attracted public attention, lead to the inquiry whether the Legislature may not interpose regulations on the sale of poisons, in order to the protection of the community. The subject is one of great import ance, and to be dealt with effectually must not be approached under the influence of panic, nor without due consideration of the many difficulties connected with it. Sweeping measures are gene rally ineffective or injurious measures, and no in terference with the freedom of trade can nowa days, with any show of propriety, be permitted, 31 less it can b e c l ear ly d emons t ra t e d th a t th e pu pose is so sacred as imperatively to call for it, and such interference is likely to accomplish that purpose to some appreciable extent. Moreover, it must extend no further than is absolutely neces sary, and in doing away with or diminishing one source of danger another, or others, must not be produced of an equal or superior magnitude. At the outset, it must further be remarked, no legislation whatever can possibly prevent access to mineral poisons by a large class of the community —such poisons being largely used in the arts, and to a less extent by the agricultural community ; besides which, it may be asked, where is the house without its copper utensil ? Neither can any legislation prevent access to vegetable poisons, which are of British growth. Further, no legis lation can protect the suffering patient wholly from accidents in tip preparation and administration of drugs, to ,may nothing of errors of judgment and design, so long as human nature continues as it is. And here we cannot refrain from advert ing to what most painfully struck us in connection with the case of PALMER, via., the startling proof the evidence afforded of his adoption of a subtle And deadly policy, to which a regard for the pub• tic prevents us from further alluding than by saying the exhibition of strychnine was, in all probability, the result of impatience, and foreign to his original design. We all knaw how his brother died ; and if PALMER. sought his death, the difference of means was not identical with a, difference of principle in the adoption of them. We advert to the case only as one proof of the 'impossibility to which we have already adverted, viz., of securing immunity from poisoning for the public. The propriety of moderation in dealing with the subject being thus plaiuly indicated, we come to a consideration of ale poisons against which a special guard would seem to be required. These are of au active class, and, as the reader is aware, include the following—arsenic, cor rosive sublimate, tartar emetic, prussic acid, opium, nui vomica, hellebore, &c., and prepara tions from them, such as black drop, laudanum, morphia, strychnia, veratria, &c. Arsenic is used ;n solution for rheumatism, for the destruction of bugs, and by farmers for steeping their wheat, to preserve it from the worm, during gormination, is well as by others, for purposes of art, as bird stuffing, and colour making. It is also wed in farriery, and for poisoning vermin. C)rrosive sublimate is a favourite renecly in certain cases, And is largely employed in the preservation of wood, &c. Tartar emetic is used as au emetic, And can better be depended on tha's for a speedy evacuation of he c mteuts of . the stomach. Opium is largely used in bulk—the pantities taken by individuals iu Lincolusliire would hardly 'se credit , ..d, and to those 'who are vidieted to its use the supply is almost essential to existence. Laudanum is recognised as a valu able household drug, of great and immediate ser vice in many cases. Nux vomica is used for poi soning rats, hellebore for diseases of the skin in dogs. As for prussic acid, morphia, and drubs of such intensely poisonous nature, - the use of them is almost exclusively c mfined, as it should be altogether, to the medical profession and di aggists, who ap portion the doses taken by the patient. For the sale of these, in bully, to private individuals, there can be neither necessity nor excuse, and it should be prohibited under penalty. The parties who sell poisons are manufacturers and wholesale druggists, apothecaries, chemists ►nd druggists, and grocers, and other dealers, who sell drags. The way in which drugs have fallen into the hands of the latter has been partly the want of druggists in particular localities— we know many villages whore there is no druggist —and partly the excessive profits demanded on the sale of drugs of a harmless description and in general request, just as the expense of medical attendance has led to advice and medicines being given by the druggist. The question for con sideration now is—What ought to be done ? Tito sale of poisons must - go on. Prohibition is out of the question. Shall none be permittc :1 to sell any drugs or chemicals of this character but members of Apothecaries' Rall and of the Piar maceutical Society ? To say nothing of the ab surdity and intolerable t 3 eanny involvc 1 in such a measure, we have surely had enough of moni - poly—even here the public having, in : , 'l proba bility, paid more, in life and health., became of the practical monopoly, which non . o f l a t e y„ i•fl was enjoyed by the apothecary a 3,1 drufsgiA, than there is the least chance of their doing by acci -1 dental or designed poisoning. I is quite r 4 bad to die for want of drugs you have not the meris to purchase as by drugs you have ; and the pub';c must look to it, or the hubbaboo about poisons will lead to the establishment of a monopoly for which they will be severely mulcte!. What, then, can be done? the reader may somewhat anxi o usly inquire. A thoughtful consideration of the subject leads us to the conviction—but little, with a beneficial effect. The menufaeturer and wholesale druggist, we suppose, P"e already amenable, and, if they are not, sheuld be made so, for want of care in supplying the parti cular article asked for. The apothecary and druggist should be compelled minor penalty to exercise a reasonable disdretion in the silo of poisonous drugs in daily use—refusing them to individuals ignorant of their properties, to chil dren, and to any asking for them under suspicious circumstances. Where the sale can be effected with apparent propriety, the apothecary or dt uggist should be compelled under penalty to label the article, whether in parcel, bottle, or j tr, correctly, with the word "Poison," in large letters, and in the most conspicuous position. Further, the s9le of arsenic —indeed, any poison—in dangerous bulk should be registered by the seller in a book kept for the purpese, and accessible to superin tendents of police on a magistrate's order—the re gistration describing the name of the purchaser, the date of purchase, and the motive advanced by the buyer for wanting the article sold. Where "raw" apprentices, or other incompetent persons, occasion death by their ignorance, the principal should be held responsible. Women, by the way, are not necessarily incompetent, as manya town and country surgeon or druggist's wife or sister's expe rience would prove. Nor is a surgeon or master druggist necessarily the most reliable dispenser. Intelligent young men and grown women have sometimes shown a great aptitude that way, and may be relied on in ordinary cases. In no case should anything of a poisonous nature be sold in a cup or in any vehicle not admitting of the label "Poison" being conspicuously placed, so as to attract the eye—or likely to be used for ordinary purposes by any member of an ordinary household. As for the grocer or other trader selling drugs, in country or out-of-the-way places, it might be well if one or more of the medical profession and of the body of regular druggists in the district should furnish the intended seller with testimonials as to his fitness to retail medicines in common use, and, armed with these, he could apply for the permission of the magistrate, who should be compelled to grant it if the testimonials be satisfactory. We merely throw this out to be canvassed by those who understand the subject. In no case should he be permitted to dispense arsenic or any drug or chemical used as poison of a like virulent nature, and an observance of the same regulations as those followed by the apothecary and druggist with regard to the sale of needful drugs of a poisonous nature Must be demanded from him. Such appears to us to be the outline of what can be done by legislation for the protection of the subject against poison with effect. Despotic legislation would infallibly defeat its object, nay, occasion more mischief than it was intended to prevent. A system of penalties for neglect of due precautions in the dispensing of poisons, if neither over nor under rigorous, but invariably put in force, would, we are certain, be produc tive of marked beneficial results. ROYAL CREMORNE GARDENS. MR. ADAMS'S BENEFIT. The special entertainments of the Et eason at this de lightful resort were on Thursday night brought to a termination in a manner every way calculated to main tain the high character they have for so long a period enjoyed. This was the last grand fete of the season, and the performances were for the benefit of Mr. Adams, the indefatigable secretary, for whose invariable cour tesy and attention in those matters pertaining to his particular jurisdiction the public are so much indebted. It was the first benefit of the kind that Mr. Adams has had at these gardens, notwithstanding the long period he has filled his present appointment, and the manner in which he was supported bore ample testimony to the high estimation with which he is regarled by all who know him. The programme was of the most liberal description, and in the musical department this observe tion was especially applicable. Some concerted pieces by Mr. and Mrs. Limpus, with cornet accompaniments by Mr. Davis, were excellently performed ; And when we say that Miss Poole, Mr. Bathurst, and Mr. Rooke, together with Miss Sey fried, sang some of their favourite songs in their best style, we need scarcely add that the whole was received with great applause. The fire• works of the Chevalier Mortram fitly closed the scene, displaying irA pyrotechnic colours E. M. Adams's thanks, and the 1856 season of Cremorne expired in a blaze of glory and a storm of app'ause. The Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, the New York Herald informs us, has been declar-1 an illegal body, and its president, William Coleman, has been arrested. The woman-flogging business has not yet been settled by the guardians of the poor at Marylebone. The Poor laav B )ard haa called upon the.malter of the workhouse to resign ; he has refused to do so ; and at the meeting yesterday it was order. d that the request be taken into c .tv ideration at a special court to lx:3 held for the purpose. _ Yesterday Mr. Halo was elected Alderman of Cole man-street Ward, in the place of the late Alderman Hunter. A man undergoing penal servitude on beard the Defence bulk, off Woolwich, yesterday attempted to escape, but be was recaptured. He mixed Kith labourers at breakfast-time, and passel through the gates. He was recaptured in a short time after. Robson, the person charged with defrauding the Crys tal Palace Company, and for whose apprehension 2501. has been offarei, is still at large. The police, up to last night, had not discovered his hiding-place. "It is stated," says the Malta Mail, " that Commis :qtry-General Smyth, C. 8., is appointed to replace Com missary -General Wyll in this island. The departure cf this latter estimable gentleman we are sure, bo ge ner sly regretted." General Narvatz, whoae ar ival at Bayonne has been already announced, was to lcave that place yesterday for Spain. We are informed that he will proceed by easy stages to Madrid, where his friends are anxiously waiting his presence. The i[oniteur Algerien, of the 25th ult., contains some farther account of the operations of the expcJition against the Kabyles. After the successes obtained on the 12th and following, dais several sheiks sent in their OSCAR OF SWEDEN.—Toe Royal family of * Sweden (say the Cologne Gazelle) is about to contract an alliance with the ducal family of Nassau. The marriage of Prince Oscar, second son of the King of Sweden, born in 1829, with Princess Sophie, born in 1836, the youngest sister of the reigning De'ee of Nassau, he ; been determined on. . The Counter of Marseilles says :--"A party of from ten to twelve English sailors maie an irruption two nights back into a tobacco shop here, and after having extinguished the gas laid bold of a number of merschaum pipes, and then made off. Not one of them has been arrested." Rear-Idmiral C mut de Gueydon has been appointed to the command of the French squadron on the station of the Antilles and the Gulf of Mexico. He wll hoist his fl ig on board the Cleopatra frigate. Marshal Pelissier left Paris the day before yesterday for Clermont. Count de Benkendorff, who is charged to conVey'to Queen Isabella an autograph letter from the Czer, Lai arrived in Paris on his way to Madrid. Mr. Mann, the American minister, Las returned to Paris from England. SUICIDE BY OXALIC AClD.—Mary Ann Hill, the wife of a lighterma.n, yesterday p >isoned heraelf by t . tking quantity of oxa'ie acid. The deceaced was a very in temperate woman. FLIGHT OF A SOLICITOR.--A Norwich solicitor has lately fled the city, leaving behind him liabilities, prin cipally in the shape of bills to the amount of 2,000/. It is believed that the party, who was in a fair way of lousi ness, has left the country, aed proceeded either to Au , tralia or to the United States. PEEL PARK, BRADFORD.—The very pleasing duty, says the Bradford Marvel., devolves upon us this week of announcing the payment of the two subscriptions of 9,000/. to this object, by Mr. Salt and Messrs. Mil ligan, Forbei, and Co., and of 250/. by Mr.. Win. Rand. libscriptions were contingent upon the raising, of 8,000/. towards the object, and although the fact is not officially announced, we essuno the payment of these amount: to mean that the said sum has been realised. We congratulate all parties upon this result. Mrus.—Tho business transacted in ruining shares thi:2 wee': has been of a more extended character than fur soave time past, though prices in some instance.] have been flUctuating and uncertain. The safest principle to act upon in mining investments, tbat of laying out a small amount in some half dozen or doz .n well selected mines, instead of confining pur chases t) any one in parocular, seems to be more gene rally adopted, especially by new parties to the market. Great Alfred shares have again fluctuated very much, various opinions being circulated rospocting the mine, each party supporting his own. The opinions, how ever, of the best practical agent, and those most to be relied upon, aro decidedly favourable.—Mlitiny TozMial of t4iB clay. LATEST AE WS. TRIESTE, OCT. 3. Accounts have been received from Constar.- tinople to the 27th ult. M. Thouvenel and Lord Stratford de Redcliffe have had long conferences with Reschid. Pacha on the subject of the Principalities. Omer Pacha, who has been pensioned by the Government, and excluded from the ortege of the Sultan, has retired and take - a up esidence in a village. NAPLES. A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the Weser Gazette, says : " Austria has made a last attempt to prevent the armed intervention of the Western Powers at Naples. A telegraphic despatch sent from Vienna to Paris has, it is said, suspended the execution of the resolutions previously come to. The result of the mission with which General de Martini, the Austrian Am basiador at Naples, has been charged, will 'Le waited for. That envoy was the bearer of a friendly ultimatum from Austria, again pointing out to the King of the Two Sicilies the dangers to which he was exposing himself. M. de Martini was at the same time to deliver to King Ferdi nand an autograph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, in which he is implored, in the name of the bands of relationship which exist batween the two Courts, not to draw down incal culable misfortunes, not only on Naples, but on the whole of Italy." Another letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Ga zette of Berlin, says :—" We learn from good authority that the mission of Baron de Hubner has not completely failed. It has been owing to him that a change of system has been promised to the Western Powers, which will probably induce them to suspend ulterior proceedings. Gen. de Martini will, it is to be hoped, be able to com plete what Baron de Hubner has commenced." The Dresden Gazette states that it has been informed from Paris that the views of the French Government relative to the affairs of Naples are essentially changed, and that probably the fleet will not leave. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says : "A Council of Ministers was held this day at St. Cloud. Nothing, of course, has as yet trans pired, and we are ignorant as to what line of con duct, if any, has been determined on. It is sur mised, from the English and Neapolitan Ambas sadors having attended at the Palace, that an arrangement of the Neapolitan question is not even now to be despaired of." The Italian correspondent of the Times (second edition) says-- " Everything up to the present moment (Sept. 29) indicates the most determined resistance on the part of the King of Naples to all demands or remonstrances. A commission, headed by C)lonel Agostini, examined on the 24th the marine forts near Naples, more particularly those of the military port, the Mole, and the Castello del Novo. Those of the military port and of the Castello were pronounced much out of order, while those of the Molo required only a readjustment of their guns. The land forces are being much increased at Gaeta, whether, as I have already informed you, cavalry had been or dered. The force concentrated there is 10,000 men ; nor does his Majesty neglect to seek the protection of the Saints in Heaven, it being Narrated by a reliable authority that on the 18th and 20th a friar of Santa Lucia and the Senora Serafina, a woman reported to be of a good spirit, were received and confidentially entertained by their Majesties. Baron Hubner, before leaving, requested the Austrian Consul to publish very extensively a denial of his having borne here ou any special mission. It is added that in one of the real objects of his coming here he has suc ceeded—in removing, that is to say, all un pleasantness of feeling existing between the regtilar accredited Minister and this Court. "On the arrival of the allied fleet at Naples, orders have been given to put the city in a state of seige." THE POLITICAL TRIALS. NAPLES, Sept. 29.—The disgraceful political trial which has been for so many months drag ging its slow length along, has this week made considerable advances, and though no act of illegality, no assumption of power could ever astonish a Neapolitan, yet every one is thunder struck at the imprudence which the Government has displayed. On Tuesday, Captain Acuti wrs re-examined. On Wednesday, the Attorney- General resumed his Requisitorio, and concluded it on Friday, the 26th inst., with demanding the punishment of death for four; 25 years in irons for two ; reclusion for two ; and acquittal for three. M. Longo commenced, as ono of the advocates for the defence, an eloquent speech on the conclusion of the Requisitorio, in which, as it appeared to me, that assuming a certain degree of culpability, he argued that it had existed in thought only—it had been simply concertato, not carried out—had never sprung into life—was not a conspiracyaccording to the terms of the Neapolitan code, and could not therefore be visited with the punishment assigned to it by the Attorney-General. On Saturday, the 27th, there was another court held, and two of the counsel for the defence spoke. THE BALTIC. HAMBURG, Oct. 1. —His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon arrived in our city from Copenhagen on the afternoon of the 29th ultimo, and took up his quarters at the Victoria Hotel. The Prince came by way of Kiel, leav ing the Reine Hortense steam corvette to proceed round the Skaw t') Glfickstadt, in the Elbe, to receive him on board after he has seen all he desires in Hamburg, where ho will remain a few days for this purpose in as quiet a manner as pos sible. E xcept i ng t h e F r ench Resident and, the French C onsu l at Alt ona , the Prince has hitherto received no public visits, nor does he appear much inclined to have formal ones paid him. M. yen Scheele has received from the King of Sweden the order of a Knight of the Seraphim. .From Christiania we learn that the Viceroy of Norway arrived on the evening of the 23d ult., on beard of the Nornen steam corvette, in that city, on his ret urn f rom C o p e nhagen, and was received on landing with the most enthusiastic cheers by the population asaemblci. The Prince is a very great favourite among the Norwegians, and, by his kind and modest behaviour, is daily gaining great confidence and popularity in his office. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Tho Monik.ur of to-day publishes the following " The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial arrived at Paris yeAtrday evening at eight o'clock in perfect health.

Prince Uhika has named M. Domitch member for Moldavia of the international commission for the navigation of the Danube. The Cabinet of Stutgard has nominated M. Muller, councillor of the government, to a similar post for Wurtemberg. A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the Debats, says : " It is well known that notes have been exchanged at different times between the Austrian government and the four other great powers on the subject of the pro longed occupation of Moldavia by the Austrian trocps. The period at which they will completely evacuate that province still appears to be distant. Every arrangement has been made for their continuance there, if not dur ing the whole of the summer of 1857, at least until next spring. The intention of the government on this subject is evident, from an order lately given by the war depart ment to renew contracts for the supply of forage and all kinds of provisions for the army of occupation during the next winter. It would be difficult to form any idea of the important results accruing to Austrian commerce from this prolonged occupation of the Danubian principalities ; and there is no doubt that it will be maintained so long as any plausible motive can be found for so doing. £here are in those provinces nearly four millions of in habitants who are clothed from head to foot with articles coming from the Austrian manufactories. The Austrian merchants have also enjoyed the privilege, since the end of 1853, of introducing by land, and by the numerous steamers which ply on the Danube, immense quantities of wino, spirits, and other Austrian produce. No sur prise can therefore be felt at Austria wishing to retain this valuable market as long as possible, and it cannot be closed to the Austrian manufacturers, or opened to the competition of foreign productions, until the day when the Princip a liti es s h a ll have been completely evacuated by the Austrian troops." 'OCTOB ER 4 1856 AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. This day at 6.30 a.m., the British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, Captain Stone, arrived off Point Lynas. She is expected in the river about mid-day. She was to leave Boston on the 24th ult. . SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 3. By the United States' mailsteamer Fulton, Captain Wotton, which arrived off Cowes this morning, we have dates from New York to the 20th ult. She brings 71 passengers, $52,006 in specie for England, $133,194 for Havre, and usual cargo. On the 20th ult. the Fulton exchanged signals with the British ship Ticonderonga, steering for New Yo r k ; 22d, in let. 42 42 N. long. 65 10 W., passed the U n it e d States' mailsteam er Washington, for New York ; 27th, in lat. 50 26 N., long. 39 20 W., exchanged signals with the Cunard steamer, Africa, bound W. ; 24th, in lat. 45 46 N., long. 56 00 W., spoke the British ship Eliza Morrison, bound to the westward ; on the 29th, in lat. 50 26 N., long. 25 45 W., passed the United States' mailsteamer Arago, from Havre and Southampton for New York ; Oct. 2, in lat. 49 36, long. 6 20, exchanged signals with the English ship Lobilia. Governor Geary delivered his inaugural address at Lecompton on the 11th of September. It was brief and pointed, and deprecated a continuance of the strife and disorder in the territory caused by the illegal and unjus tifiable interference of other States. It promised to do justice to all without party consideration, and expected obedience to the laws of the territorial Legislature until they were repealed. A proclamation was issued on the same day, ordering that the volunteer militia be dis charged, and commanding that all armed bodies of men should disband themselves or quit at once the territory. Yellow fever continued at Charleston. Sixteen deaths are reported to have occurred during the week ending September 19. The first new rice'of the season made its appearance in Usarleston market on the 15th ult. ; it was of excel lent quality. With reference to the reported difficulties between Great Britain and Mexico the Herald says : " Some time since we published accounts from Mexico, stating that the difficulties between that Republic and the Spanish Government had been settled by the Spanish Minister, who had male concessions to President Comon fort. The last news from Spain informs us that when this news reached Madrid the O'Donnell Cabinet worked itself into a high state of indignation. The Minister to Mexico (Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action dis avowed by his Government, so that matters are put in the same position which they previously occupied, only that they look a little worse for Mexico. We learned by tele graph yesterday that the British Minister to the Mexie in Government had had trouble with the Como fort Govern ment. He demanded ins passports, and sent a courier to Havaunali to order the West Indian fleet to Vera Cruz in order to enforce the compliance of the Government with his demands, with the nature of which we are unacquainted. The present Government of Mexico is not popular in Eu rope, and we soon expect to hear that Franco has followed the lead of Eeglancl and Spain, and that Mexico will be in volved in an imbroglio which may result in the most serious consequences.' In the New York money-market money continued easy, and was freely offered at 7 por cent. on call. First class paper sold without difficulty at 8 to 9 per cent. for Alert, and 9 to 10 for long dates. The demand for foreign exchanges was quite active, especially for London, Ham burg, and Bremen. The supply generally was not large, but there wag no scarcity of franc , , which were rather neglected. The tendency of the market was firm, Bankers' signatures at 60 days' sight, on London, were quoted at 1021 to 1098 ; Paris and Antwerp, 5 . 161 to 5 15 ; Am sterdam, 418 ; Berlin, Leipsic, and Cologne, 72 t o 72i ; Frankfort, 413. ; Hamburg, 361 to 36 ; Bremen, 79 to 79k. The stock-market continued active, and speculation in railroad shares was brisk. The sales of cotton on the 19th ult. embraced about 800 to 1,000 bales, the market closing firm at an , advance of ic., owing to the favour. able news received by the Asia. Flour was irregular ; common grades were rather scarce and without change of moment in prices, while medium grades and low extras were in some cases from 10 to 20 cents per barrel lower. Wheat was dull and lower, common to good red having been sold at 147 to 150 cents, and good to choice southern and western white at 158 to 163 cents, and a choice lot of Canadian at 164 cents. Corn sold r-t 65 to 67 cents for sound western mixed. Pork was firm at $2O 373 c. for mess on.the spot, and 500 barrels sold,:de liverable this month, seller's option, at $2O 25c. Sugars were firm and active, with sales of 1,800 hhds. and 800 boxes, at full prices. Coffee was firm, with sales of 1,600 bags Ilia and 1,400 mats Java. Grain to Liverpool was firmer, with engagements in bulk and bags at 831, to 9d. • THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORWING. One of the Peninsular and. Oriental Company's steam-ships, with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo, has arrived in tiro river. SPEdli - L—The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Pera amount to 778,7631., of which 3,7131. is gold for Alexandria, Ceylon, Madras, and Singapore, and 775,0501. silver for Bombay, Calcutta, Penang, Singapore, Hong-Kong, Canton, and Shanghai. The Paris letters, with scarcely an exception, affirm that a report has gained credence of its being the inten tion of Government to issue a decree for the suspension of specie payments by the Bank of France. The drain, notwithstanding all the arrivals of gold and silver that take place, is said to b e proceeding at a greatly in creased rate ; but, if this is the eas e , it may probably be attributed to the hoarding caused by mischievous re ports such as that now in circulation. It is not be lieved in London that the French Government can have entertained the idea imputed to them. DELAY OF THE INDIAN MAILS AT MARSEILLES.— Mr. Fleming, the secretary of the Manchester Commer cial Association, has received the following reply from the Postmaster-General, to a letter on the subject of the delay of Indian mails at Marseilles :LGeneral Post office, Oct. 2, 1856, Sir,—With reference to your letter of the 18th ult., on the subject of the delay, at Mar seilles, of the mails from India, which arrived at that port on the 11th ult., I am directed by the Postmaster- Genera( to acquaint you that the arrangements for the conveyance of the Indian mails, through France, rest with the French Post-office. Hie Grace has on former occasions called the attention of the Director-General of that office to the delay which sometimes occurs in the transmission of those mails from Marseilles and he will do so ag a i n , i n reference to the delay whichl took place on this occasion. I am, Sir, your obedient humble ser vant, J. TILLY." RUSSIAN CORONATION FETES. MOSCOW, SEPT 23. THE DINNER TO THE PEOPLE AND "THE ACCIEIFNT." The rain utterly destroyed the effect of the very curios and almost grand spectaole of the dinner given by the Emperor to 200,000 people, though it must be admitted theft, so car es the spectators were conc , A-r.ed, they would have deprived them of the pleasure of seeing so many mouths filled at once had they acted on a fine day as they did last Saturday. It was not the police chief, but a stupid artisan, who caused the fatal and pre mature onslaught upon the victuals. The Czar was much displeased when he heard of the mistake, but he displayed that command over his feelings for which he is remark able, and in which he presents a contrast to his late father, and very sensibly remarked that as it was done it could not be helped. The reason assigned to me for this extraordinary cweretemps by a Russian officer of rank was as fol lows : It all arose out of a " signal"—that never-failing source of disaster, and error, and confusion. It appears that the laissez diey was to havo been given to the people by the hoisting of a white flag on the flagstaff of the pavilion occupied by the Emperor, and that this was to have been done by the order of his Majesty, to let the multitude know they might fall on the feast in his presence. The luckless chef de police, on whom so much reprobation has already fallen, took it into his unhappy head to experiment with the feelings, passions, organs, and emotions of about half a million of people ; he wanted to see if the flag halyards were " all right," and to that end he very wisely gave the order to haul away, and up went the white flag and the double-headed black eagle thereupon fluttering aloft to the top of the pole. Now, it is I,kely that the chef was quite prepared for its not going up, but it is certain he was utterly unprepared for the contingency of its elevation. The flag, the cyno sure of hundreds of thousands of hungry eyes, had not well flown c'ear out from the staff ere, with a growl of de light, and with a simultaneous spring like that of some hungry monster, the myriads rushed on the tables, and in the twinkling of an eye sheep, sausages, hams, bread, beef, fowls, fruit--ay, even the platters, dishes, plates, trees, tubs, wooden spoons, and some of the very tables themselves, were swallowed in that mighty maw, and had disappeared for ever. The flag was seen by all the world, but few indeed beheld the unhappy police master, who in unspeakable affright and consternation ordered the people to stop, shouted to his emissaries, sent orders to distant Cossacks, and h a d th e flag jerked down again in all haste. The mischief was done—the feast was gone. As well might the Cossacks hope to keep out the tide with their lances as strive to break the human flood which raged round the remnants of the banquet. These remnants were only bits of wood, fragments of tables, and pieces of the stands on which the sheep had been impaled and from which sausages and fowls had depended. The waters dammed up so long were irresistible when the dam had once given way. The immense rua , s of human beings who, restrained by their feelings of loyalty and obedi sacs to the Emperor, and by the fear of the lance of the Cossack, had tranquilly waited through hours of rain and storm for the sluices to be opened, had burst forth, and "all the King's horses and all the King's men could not get theM back again," or undo the work they had performed with such prodigious celerity. One could form some notion of the way in which the pyramids were built by seeing the way in which 5,000 sheep and many tons' weight of meat and bread and massive tables and woodwork were all gobbled up, secreted, or carriel off by this "little dinner party." It is true we did not see it, for the programme fixed it for 12.30, and the proceeding took place before 10 o'clock, and there was nothing to gaze at of all we had come to see. The "people's" dinner cost 350,000 silver roubles. THE DAL MASQUE AT THE KREMLIN. The bal masque for the people tcok place on Thtrsday night al the Palace of the Kremlin. About 20,0 W per. sons were present. That is a literal fact, but it must not be supposed that because it was called Lai ruisque in French, or maskerad in Russian, that there was either dancing or masques. It was a dense and silent mob, of all ages and conditions, within five of the largest salons in the world. The Halls of St. George, St. Vla dimir, and St. Andrew, and the Salle Alexandre were brilliantly illuminated ; in the last alone there were more than 2,000 wax lights burning, in richly gilt cfln delabra, and the other halls were illuminated with a similar profuseness and splendour. It was not yet 9 o'clock when we enter( - I the palace by one of the private doors, and, passing through long galleries, cor ridors, passages, conservatorie?, filled with pictures, statuary, plants, and flowers, and lined with a magnificent valotaille, and detachments of the Che valier Guard and of the Grenadiers of the Court, de bouched into the space in front of the thrones, which was reserved for the diplomatic circle, the Ministers of State, the officers of rank, and strangers invited to at tend. A barrier about three feet was thrown across the ball, at the distance of seven or eight yards from the foot of the thrones, which were just the same as we saw them on the day of the coronation, and outside this bar rier there was a dense mass of human beings, whose heads and faces tapered away in long perspective to the end of the hall, and were again visible through the arch in the hall below, till they were at last lost in the haze. Merchants' wives and daughters, the families of the in ferior employes, those of the lower order of nobility, the shopkeepers, the stall-owners, the servants, the mujiks, the very droschky drivers were all there, packed as close as they could be, all looking towards the thrones, or trying In vain to get a glimpse at the reserved paral lelogram, in which a very brilliant crowd of gentle men and ladies, in full uniform, were already awaiting the arrival of the Emperor. Lord and Lady Gran ville, Lord Wodehouse, M. de Morny, Prince Esterhazy, and a host of generals blazing with orders, distinguished and undistinguished, were in this magic square, which was kept i❑ order by the Chamberlains of the Court, all in their magnificent State uniforms. The negroes of the Court brought round from time to time trays of ices. A splendid supper for 1,500 guests was served. THE BALL OF THE NOBLESSE. The ball of the noblesse of Mosco v also took place in their splendid mansion on Thursday night, and was at tended by 3,000 persons of the best families in Russia. Although each government has its own nobility, to Moscow belongs the privilege of calling that of its government the Nobility of Russia, as they belong to the oldest races and to the old,capital of the esuntry. The whole of the fine building in which the ball took place was fitted up with great taste and i:chness. The exterior was brilliantly illuminated with coloured oil lamps, and threw a I:eh light onthem t as e s of people assembled in the square and on h clear. The of the Theen mounted entrance e Gn was e gu d a a r r d m e e d ri b e y wh a o d k et e a p e t h t m h e e n t way of lGeardeninagditeorsthofe ball-room Guard, all-roo and mwa sli t n h e e d la w r i g t e double st hrareplan a t i s re a e n s d e flowers. The Marshal of the Nobility and Countess ZAerefsky, the wife of the Governor of Moscow, received the company. In the ante-chamber of the first salon a guard of honour of the Paulovski Regiment —they of the retroussez noses and moustaches —were stationed. The saloons, which are adorned by pox traits of the Ern press Catherine, of the late Czar, and of 'limy of the Imperial family, and of the great nobility, are sufficiently spacious and handsome; but the salle do dense is one of the finest apartments I have ever seen—all white marble, exceedingly lofty, chaste, tad well proportioned. At one extremity the thrones were placed, under a dais, for the Emperor and Empress, and a reserved place was kept apart for the Ambassadors and their wives, and for the Imperial family. The Emperor was dressed in the uni form of the Cossacks of the Guard, a scarlet tunic with silver lace, and a shako with a straight stiff plume or long tuft. I never can describe ladies' dresses, end ell I can say is that the Empress looked exceedingly well, and wore resplendent jewel', and that tbo Grand Duch' .8 Constantine was charming, graceful, and beautiful, as she ever appears, whether attired a la Russe or d ec k e d in the newest fashion, set off by the finest diamonds and emeralds, such as she was to-night. A large gallery, at a considerable elevation, runs along the ball-room, from which the spectators can see what passes below, and it was filled by ladies and gentlemen in full dress, or by the dancers, who in vain sought refuge there from the heat. The scene was very magnificent, the number and variety of uniferrns, diplomatic dresses, and the national costumes of Tartars, Greeks, Mi r . grelians, Circassians, Turks,. Daghestanlis, Tcheskes, Georgians, and those of the Bojards and Boyardesses, in the habits of former times, producing the effect of a very magnificent fancy gal'. I must modify very consi derably the opinion insinuated some time ago respecting the paucity of pretty women in Moscow, for there were present last night a large number of very attractive and elegant persons, who amply redeemed the character of the Russian type, and displayed great charms of face and figure. Waltz, mazurka, polonnaise, and national dances succeeded each other rapidly till supper time, and were, I dare say, resumed afterwards with increased vigour. Lord and Lady Granville and the Marchioness of Staf ford, Lord Wodehouse, M. de Morny, and most of the foreign Ministers and attaches, were present. To day there is to be a grande chasse, and the weather promises to let all the world enjoy it. ABANDONMENT 01? THE EXPEDITION TO NAPLES. We regret to hear a report, generally current in wel?. informed circles, that the joint e xpedition of the English and ,French fleets to Naples has been abandoned under the impres s i on pro d uce d b y th e recent Note of Ru ss i a . No intelli gence h as yet reac hed the Foreign office con veying any assurance that the King of Naples w ill abandon his p os iti o n.

A verdict of accidental death was returned, and the contractors were requested to adopt some other way of coupling the waggons. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A MASTER BRICKLAYER.—Robt. lmott, a master bricklayer, residing at No. 37, Tonbridge-street, New-road, and Patrick Hurray, a labourer, were brought before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a quantity of old metal and other articles, the property cf Mr. A'fred Roper, a builder. Mr. Roper stated that he was mltractor for the re pairs at No. 28, Prince's-street, Soho, and he let a por tion of that contract to the prisoner Wilmott, the latter supplying the labour and prosecutor the materials, The old metal, nails, three hods of mortar, and other articles were his property, and had been removed from the pre rnises in Prince's-street. George Appleton said he was employed by the pro• secutor to watch the prenii,e3 in Prince's•strcet, and this morning, about eight o'clock be saw the prisoners load• ing a truck, and Murray went away with it, and took it to Wilmott's house, where he unloaded the articles pro• duced. Mr. Roper then came up and identified the property, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner Murray, on the way to the station, said Wil mott had ordered him to take the things to his house. Wilmott, in defence, said he did not think he war; doing harm in taking the things. Mr. Bingham fined him 5/. for the unlawful posses' sion. The other prisoner ha should fine 205., or 21 days, ho having acted under the orders of the other man. THA MES. ROBBERIES BY A WORB3rAN.—Vatenti2li Zerabra, an Italian, aged 29, late in the employ of Mr. B a rnett Moss, looking-glass and picture-frame maker, in Leman' street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Selfe, oe rernan 1, charged with stealing a variety of property from his master's workshop. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Moss for some yew:, and in the course of that time veneered looking-glass frames and other goods had been contintr ally missed. A few days since Mr. Hall, foreman to th e prosecutor, in passing the shop of Mr. Antonio Blanes , in Shorediteb, saw one of his master's large circular dres o looking-glass hames exposed far sale there. n e w ent into the shop and spoke to Mr. Bianca, and in coney queries of what he st ited the prisoner was given iet ° custody. Mr. Bianca said, in his evidence, that the prisoner called upon him and said he was no longer working for Mr. Moss, and made up frames on his own account, and, producing a small circular model frame , said he had some large ones of the same pattern to sell: Mr. Bianca agreed to purchase two large veneere d frames with stands complete, and the prisoner brough t one to his house on the 30th or. June and the other oe the 18th of August, and Mr. Bianca gave 21s. f o r the Frst and 20s. for the second, which it was agreed was tolerably fair price. Mr. Moss and his foreman ideeti; fled the framo and stand, to which Mr. Bianca had adde d a dress looking glass, and produced another from thei r workshop of precisely the same pattern and made of the same wood. Mr. Bianca had disposed of the first fram e he bought of the prisoner. It was of the same patter° as the other, and must have been-stolen from Mr. Mod ° flctory, for none of that pattern had been manufactur ed by any other frame-maker. The prison er had also so ld a circular frame to Mr. Farnham, of the City-roa d ' which was produced and identified by Mr. gos o ' Mr. Farnham had purchased it in a hurry one morning while his horse and chaise was waiting his door to convey him to his country reside nce . T bi prisoner one day informed Mr. Bianca, that h e s old tb" . smaller sized frames as fast as he could make them, to Mr. Farnham and Mr. Towers, b u t no other , could be traced. It was proved that the prisoner bad not been away from the prosecutor's workshop for Pr e : years, and that he could not have made up the Irate • at home. A large quantity of tools belonging to tb workmen in the employ of Mr. Moss had been stole's and a plane, which the prisoner had pawned in Church' street, Spitalfields, was owned by Edwin Owen Sati ° ders. There were other charges against the prisoner; who was in the receipt of good wages, and an exce lteli a workman, but he had pursued a long career of vice 0 plunder, and had distressed his fellow-workmen. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial on thre e charges of felony, and he left the dock protesting in the face of positive evidence that he had male up his O wood and that the plane was his own.
