When the Atlantic telegraph failed and it became evident that intelligence from America could not reach England in five minutes, the next best thing was that it should reach us in five days. To halve the time of telegraphic communication was unquestionably possible. The wires of the trans atlantic continent reach St. John's, Newfoundland, and from the West of Ireland St. John's may be reached by the best arrangements in five days, and almost with absolute certainty in five days and a half. As the telegraphic work on both sides may be called instantaneous, it is clear that London and Liverpool might hear from Washington and New York in the course of five days. This is the grand desideratum to be obtained by a Galway or any other West of Ireland packet service to America. The saving of time to the mails would be much less considerable, as they could not, the great bulk of them at least, be left at St. John's, but must be taken on to Halifax, Boston, or New York. Irish emigrants and some Scotchmen might to some extent use the ships of the company, but the greater part of the passengers from Great Britain would probably always prefer the convenience of having no change to make from the time they first stepped on shipboard. We are not prepared, however, to deny that the somewhat shortened voyage for the mails, and the much-shortened time for telegraphic communications, may be well worth the subsidy offered the Galway Company, provided the work cannot be done without it. This, however, is not the present question. Other considerations, chiefly arising from what may be considered fair to an Irish company, are what have now to be weighed. We say an Irish company, because, looking impartially at the facts, we do not believe that any English company would have brought similar treatment under the notice of Parliament. The directors and shareholders might have thought that they hardly got indulgente enough or throw the blame on the broad shoulders of that universal delinquent, Bad Luck, and the almost equally broad shoulders of that equally common delinquent, the Government; still we imagine that any English company, against which so many failures could be alleged, as are confessed to by the Galway company, would have thought it more discreet not to force them on the attention of the whole political and commercial world. We are also rather too proud for so many appeals ad misericordiam ; while o ur Hibernian friends seem to make them as a matter of course, indeed to esteem it no discredit to m a k e the appettl, but only to fail of succeeding in it. In two respects the ground for the committee which is to investigate this business will have the ground cleared for them. The politics of the affair are to bc• ignored, and the policy of communication between the West of Ireland and America is ad mitted ; we might add a third that the contract has been unquestionably broken, and that the Government had a clear legal right to put an end to it. It will not, however, be easy to choose a committee uninfluenced by party or by Irish con siderations. The party objects will be to prove Goverarvent a SIIYLOCK on the oae hand, or a faithful trustee of public interests on the other. The Irishmen, without exception, y , Irish company would vote for a su b s i dy to any unlucky or ill manage]. be the facts what they might. The committee w ill , indeed, be a committee, tot of investigation, for the whole case is now fully known ; n will be a committee for justifying or blaming, by tho action it recommends, the course 'which the Government has taken ; or, if the under standing he that all things are to be made pleasant, 'we may imticipate a commendation of the Govern ment for its watchfulness over public contracts, With, at the same time, a recommendation to give the poor company another chance. In a word both Will be let off easy. That the Government feels its posil,ion weak, with all the Irish members banded against it, is certain ; Lord PALMERSTON Acknowl edged that had the Government opposed the committee, it would have been in a minority, but he a ffirmed that the Government considered a select committee quite a reasonable proposal. We cannot doubt that the majority his Lordship spoke of was what wade it appear so. It might have NI .% been very well, before action was taken by the ' Government, for some friendly member to have proposed a committee, and the Government to have given their assent ; for the Government to assent to it now is to throw on the committee the work of the executive. It has been hinted, indeed, that this committee was the understood price of the majority of fifteen, and that some more successful and acute diplomatist than Father DALY was at work. We can have no knowledge of .what, if a fact, most certainly was never expressed in words, much less in writing. All we can say is that it is not incompatible with known facts ; while at the same time the prospect of a hostile majority is quite a sufficient explanation of the Government's conduct last night. We need not repeat the story of the Company's delinquencies ; those who wish to see them again will find it in Mr. BAXTER'S speech ; neither need we enter on the story of the Company's vindication, which occupied Mr. GREGORY so long in an able and temperate speech. Mr. GREGORY contends that special encouragement is due to Irish enter prise, but that is surely very ticklish ground. It will be, otherwise,with mail packet companies, much as it was in the old days of protection with whalers; as the latter were sent not to catch whales, but the bounty, so companies will be started, not to catch traffic, but subsidies. Mr. DISRAELI says that they did not put the service up to competition, because it might have fallen into the hands of some great company uncoil- conected with Ireland; we cannot admit, however, such c onsiderations into the Imperial mail service. Besides the right hon. gentleman forgot that Canada and Liverpool merchants had received promises that the service should be open to public tender. Mr. DISRAELI had better reason for com mending the Government of 1858 when he observed that it was Lord DERBY'S Government who first, and in this case, introduced into Government con tracts the clause " out of moneys to be provided by Parliament," though Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE'S account of the origin of this clause certainly took off some of its gilding. We may presume, however, that the contract is to be renewed• Much pity is naturally felt for the small Irish shareholders, who supposed themselves subscribing to a scheme in which patriotism and dividends went splendidly together. Compassion for them, desire tacitly to censure the Government, and equal desire on the part of the Government to avoid making this a no-confidence ques tion, which Mr. DISRAELI truly said it was, will combine to give the company another chance. May they use it well ! We cannot pay £3,000 a voyage, except for a handsome saving of time. If the Company's narrow escape teach it thorough punctuality we must put up with a heavy charge on the Exchequer, hoping that when the CUNARD Contract is out we shall have seen the last of such contracts. But the Galway Company must bear in mind that the British public now has its eyes open—and the inexorable demand will be—" In five days to St. John's." We now know something more of the character of the new Italian Ministry. Its policy was from the first moment obvious ; nay, for that matter it may be said it was inevitable. There was really and truly no choice before CAvotrß's Successor. That great Statesman had already so far accomplished his work before his death that the "slope" of Italy, to employ a famous phrase of M. DE LAMIRTINE'S, the slope of Italy was to Unification. The constitu tional movement of the newly-created nationality, moreover, had long before the illness and death of Count CAVOUR acquired such a momentum that even the repellant shock caused by that calamitous event could not, literally could not, in any appre ciable manner, retard the advance of Italy towards Unification. It scarcely required, indeed, that any programme should be issued by the Cabinet ap pointed to succeed the ruptured Ministry of Italy's greatest Statesman and Administrator. The views of that Cabinet were recognised before they were announced. But—if the policy of the new Govern ment was thus from the earliest moment safely to be predicated—it can be regarded as not the less interesting on that account to bear in mind the an tecedents of the men to whom, at so exquisitely critical a juncture in the destinies of their country, the supreme responsibility of guiding those des tinies has been entrusted by King VICTOR Em- MANUEL. RICASOLI, the Chief of the Administration, was already "known to fame"—his conduct in Tuscany having but very recently signalised his capability at once as Diplomatist and as Administrator, His combination there of tact and decision appeared to point him out distinctly as about the fittest man that could well have been selected at such an emer gency, whether to direct the councils of the KING as Prime Minister, or to influence the diplomacy of the new-born State as conservator of the Foreign Portfolio. Four of his colleagues in the new Cabi net, moreover, were already popularly known as having been conspicuous among the leading mem bers of the late Government. These four Ministers being, of course, MINGHETTI, BASTOGGI, PERUZZI, and DE SANCTIS. MINGHETTI, a barrister, of great distinction among the foremost ranks of the Italian advocates, had, it is true, resigned his ministerial post, but it was within the national recollection that he had resigned it upon a question of a merely local character. As one of the representatives of Turin, and as, at the same time, one of the prominent members and one of the most distinguished ornaments of the legal profession, MINGHETTI resigned his place in Count CAVOITR'S Government (very comprehensibly it was felt at the time) so soon as the Court of Ces sation was transferred from Turin to Milan, from the capital of Piedmont to the capital of Lombardy. Turning to other Ministers (but yet particularized) in RICASOLI'S newly avganisad. Administration, we have occasion to remark, that General DEI:I4A ROVERE, besides being already favourably known throughout Italy as a senator in the national Par liament, and as an aide-de-camp of Ki ng VICTOR EMMANUEL, is remembered to have acquitted himself to admiration in the Crimea as head of the Commissariat Department of the Sardinian Con tingent. That responsible position, moreover, he had held with great credit to himself during the campaign in Lombardy—having yet more recently presided over the destinies of the Sicilian popula tion as the Lieutenant-General of his MAJESTY the Re Galantuoino. As to the General's colleague, SCIALOJA —he, too, has occupied very lately a post of kindred responsibility—having been one of the members of the Neapolitan Lieutenancy. As an Administrator, SCIALOJA is an old and practised hand, having several times held office as Secretary of State at Naples—his importance as a politician in that southern kingdom having been signalised in 1848 by his exile in common with the many other leading men then obnoxious in the esyceisojf BOMBA'S Reactio nar y G overnm ent. ato 4—beyond this—it is worthy of remem bering at this moment —may be pointed out to English observers as a man eminent among Italians in his capacity as a skilled political economist, and as (for want of a better designation) a decided Liberal Conservative. It is rem em b ere d aga i n , i n reference to General MEN&Bara, that the newly. appointed Minister achieved distinction for himself at Ancona and at Gaeta while in command of the Sardinian Engineers. RATAIII at one time thought of as Premier in lieu of RlCASOLl— although not of the Ministry is with it, he having announced his intention to accord it all the assist ance in his power. Such is the general character of RicAsoLfs Cabinet—such are the indications of its policy—such are some among the antecedents of its leading members, of those men to whose patrio tism has been committed the responsibility of completing the work commenced by CAMILLO BENSO DI CAVOLTIt, the Champion (the triumphant Champion up to the hour of his death) of the cause of Italian Unification. As a circumstance throwing an additional light upon the fate of Italy, it is now understood that the design of the French Government is to acknow ledge the new kingdom "with reserves," it is added by the Paris correspondent of Lord PAL MERSTON'S organ, with certain reservations, that is, " touching the annexed States of the Church." There it is that the shoe, or rather it should be said, the Italian Boot, pinches ! Just at the instep—just where, remembering three of those witty cartoons of Punch, GARIBALDI would fain long ago h ave insinuated a little more "powder" to ease the slip ping on of that grand Italian Boot by King VICTOR EMMANUEL. " The Emperor NAPOLEON," says the Post, " has ever desired that the Papacy should invite the Italians to be its Protector." True but it is also upon record that the Emperor NAPOLEON declared that Italy should be free from the Alps to the Adriatic! And yet that, having declared that, the imperial Victor of Magenta and Solferino stopped short sud denly before that little green baize table at Villa franca. It is also upon record that the Emperor NAPOLEON projected an Italian Confederation. And yet that the dream of that Confederation melted away like the vision of Italy free from the Alps to the Adriatic—GARIBALDI and his thousand Garibaldians have spoilt his Imperial Majesty's "little game" in the very nick of time most inop portunely. All this is even now, as the phrase is, matter of history. So that we can hardly account with anything like certainty even upon the Delphic decrees of the French Autocrat. L'homme propose Dieu dispose. It is a truth old as the hills, but a truth worth being here repeated—now that the Fate of Italy is yet trembling in the balance, while a mightier hand than that of CAMILLUS may be thrown any day into either scale. We understand that a meeting of Conservative members will take place at the house of the Earl of Derby on Monday next,—Times. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and Princess Mary honoured the Duke and Duchess of Buecleuch with their company at dinner last evening, at the noble duke's residence in Beigrave-square. A distin guished circle met the Royal guests. Lady Geraldine Somerset and Captain Cust were in attendance on their royal highnesses. The Countess d'Apponyi has issued cards for a "dance" on the 4th proximo. His Excellency Count de Lavradio has left town on a mission to Hanover, accompanied by the Chevalier de Oliveira. The Chevalier dos Santos acts as Portuguese Charge d'Affaires duzing the absence of Count de Lav radio. His Excellency the Italian Minister arrived at the residence of the Legation, in Park-lane, a few days since from Turin. Lord and Lady Colchester entertained at dinner last evening, at their residence in Berkeley-square, the Earl of Brownlow, Lord Redesdale and the Hon. Miss Mitford, Lord and Lady Rokeby, the Earl of Carnarvon, Lord and Lady Bateman, Lady Charles Wellesley, Sir John and Lady Jane Walsh, Mrs. and Miss Ramsden, Miss Law, Mr. Stanhope, Mr. Stopford, &c. DEATH OF THE REV. CANON OTTLEY.—We have to announce the death of the Rev. Lawrence Ottley, M.A., canon residentiary of Ripon, and rector of Richmond, Yorkshire, brother-in. law of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Ripon. THE NAVY CLUB.—The gallant members of the Naval Club give their annual entertainment to the First Lord of the Admiralty on the 3d proximo, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. THE ALLEGED NEWSPAPER CONSPIRACY CASE. —The grand jury threw out the bills found against Captain Knox, of the _lrish Times newspaper, and several of his staff, for alleged conspiracy to injure the Daily Express newspaper by intercepting its sale. The charge arose out of the competition introduced into Dublin by the penny system. A company is about to be introduced for the ap plication of the patents of Mr. Nathan Thompson, an American engineer, for boatbuilding by steam machinery. This machinery is suitable for the construction of boats of every size and mould, and durability and safety are attained from the uniformity and perfection of the various fittings, while the saving in time and labour is extraordinary. The inventor has published testimonials from a large number of the principal persons in the United Kingdom connected with navigation and the working of elaborate constructive establishments, and these are all of the most unequivocal character as regards the value of the system both in a na tional and commercial sense. " A cutter 30 feet in length can," it is said, " be constructed and delivered perfect in every respect within a few hours after the order is received for it," and the master shipwright of Woolwich Dockyard, who was appointed by the Admiralty to examine and re port on the method, has fully corroborated the opinions expressed by other authorities. The revolution which it is likely to create will, it is believed, be analogous to that effected in other departments of labour by the sewing ma - chine, and the contrivances which have of late years multi plied the production of clocks and watches. In our colonies and distant territories, where so much of the progress of each settlement depends upon the facilities for river and coast navigation, its advantages are likely also to be of especial importance. THE IMPORTANT MARRIAGE CASE—COREY V. CREMORNE—JUDGMENT.—The Chancellor of Ireland de livered judgment yesterday, holding that the trustees of Lord Cremorne purchased uncle'''. the Court, and are conse quently protected by the third of Bth and 9th Victoria. He therefore dismissed the petition with costs. DEATH OF A GIRL IN A BALLROOM.—WhiIe a party of young persons were engaged in dancing on Satur day evening last in the club-room of the Railway Inn, Sta tion-street, Birmingham, a young woman of 19, named Eliza Bird, who was present with her sweetheart, William Nash, was taken suddenly ill after the first dance, and fell head foremost to the ground, and, though assistance was immediately rendered by those in the room, the poor girl never spoke afterwards. A post-mortem examination was made, and the medical evidence at the inquest showed that death was caused by apoplexy, arising in a great measure from tight lacing. A verdict was returned in accordance with the facts. A HOAX.—Au unfeeling hoax was practised on a Taunton tradesman on Tuesday. The victim, however, is himself a wag of the first water, whose puns, bon mots, and repartee are the life and soul of any convivial party, and under his presidency a band of choice spirits nighty . , as - semble to do homage to the presiding genius. On Tueiday, then, there was an excursion to Burnham's distant sea, and the son of our wit joined in the gay and festive throng which left Taunton's favoured vale on that happy occasion. Paterfamilias—fond of his children almost to a fault, after warning the youth of the dangers of the sea, pronounced his benediction, and by Bristol's rail rolled on the excursion train with its living freight.

His inquiries were futile, and he left, declaring that if there ever was a clear case for prosecution this was one. Shortly afterwards—inexpressible joy—he found his son as well, as happy, and as full of mirth, as any fellow or sister excursionist. The fact is, a wag, and one of his de votees, had played a practical joio upon him, which he declares he shall never forget, and has determined to " cut the clique," for ever, aye, and a day. This, we think, carrying the joke too far, and we hope the author will meet pith deserved ptgligi4luent ,-1 5 0 norset amity Ilera(4, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY - EVENING, JUNE 15, 1861. -, 4„, w , ' t.+4 \ T V b. PARIS, JUNE 15 Judgment has been pronounced to-day in the affair of the secret political society headed by Blanqui.

Senique and the woman Fremier were sentenced to one year's, and Chaumette to six months' im prisonment. TURIN, JUNE 15. The resignation of Major-General Cerutti, In spector of the National Guard, is confirmed. Signor Artone has received leave of absence for three months: ROME, JUNE 12. The Pope has again been taken ill. VIENNA, SATURDAY. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day contains an ordinance of Herr Von Plener, Minister of Finance, ordering the resumption of the payment of the interest of the National Loan in specie. FIUME, SATURDAY. A third attempt to elect members in the district of Fiume to the Croatian Diet took place to•day, but without any result, not a single elector having been present. MADRID, JUNE 14 According to advices received here, revolutionary proclamations are circulating in Portugal, accusing the Government of intending to weaken the army with the object of betraying the national indepen dence. The proclamations conclude with the words " Saldanha for ever !" COPENHAGEN, JUNE 14, The election of members for the Folkething took place to-day. Ministei ial candidates only were elected, amongst whom were MM. Hall, Fenger, and Casse, the Ministers for Foreign Affairs, Finance, and Justice. M. Blixen, opposition can didate, and formerly Minister, was defeated. The Ministers, in their addresses to the electors, expressed themselves in favour of the independence of Holstein, and the incorporation of Schleswig with Denmark on the broadest constitutional basis. ROME, JUNE 11 The confessor of the late Count Cavour has arrived here. It is asserted that he is the bearer of a message from the deceased Minister to the Pope. A sanguinary collisicri has taken place between the Pontifical gendarmes and the workmen em ployed on the railways near Velletri, caused by the latter shouting " Viva Garibaldi !" Disturbances have also taken place at Amelia, originating in a demonstration against the priests who abstained from taking part in the national fete of the 2d inst. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 14 (Evening) The International Conference, besides agreeing to the nomination of a Christian Governor for the Lebanon, who will be subject to the Porte, has decided that each six communities shall have a " mndir," or district administrator, and a native police force, numbering altogether 1,500 men. The Porte is to supply any deficit in the revenue, and to receive any surplus. The constitution will be published in a few days. PESTH, JUNE 14 In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the address, having been revised, was again read, and after a short debate, was agreed to. It was oedered to be sent to the Upper House. VIENNA, JUNE 14 It is asserted that immediately after the presen tation of the address of the Hungarian Diet an imperial manifesto will be published. MADRID, JUNE 14. The Madrid journals contain news from Havana to the 27th ultimo, according to which money matters were in a satisfactory condition. The same journals publish news from San Do mingo to the 18th altimo, asserting that tranquil lity and enthusiasm for the Spanish Government reigned throughout the island. General Santana was travelling in the provinces. The work of re organising the Administration was progressing. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Patrie of this evening asserts that negotia tions have been opened for the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by France, and adds that France will recognise accomplished facts, without, however, accepting any engagement for the future. The weather at Paris has during the last day or two been gradually improving, and summer ap pears to have at last really set in. Yesterday after noon Was exceedingly warm, but without being op pressive. BOURSE, June 14.—The market has been firm, and prices have obtained a shade of improvement on the closing rates of the previous day. For the account, Threes, are now 67f 90c.

A letter from Rome, of the Bth, in the Gazette de France, says :—" The Piedmontese are farming a large camp near Correse, about 20 miles from this city. The troops assembled on this point are about 25,000 strong. There, as at Terracina, and in every place where the French regiments are in contact oa the frontiers with the Piedrnontese, the greatest harmony and the most fraternal amenities are exchanged between the officers of the two na tions. They walk about together, pay frequent visits, and entertain each other with great cor diality." BUCHAREST. A Bucharest letter gives the following as the text of the programme of the new Ministry which was communicated to the Chamber on the 24th ult.: —" Gentlemen,—His Highness the Prince has been pleased to charge us with the administration of the country in the interval previous to the realisation of the union, the wish for which, universally felt by the Roumanian nation, has been several times expressed by the two sister assemblies. The pro gramme of the new Ministry is very brief. As a Ministry of transition it must confine its efforts to administering the country legally so as to enable it to pass peacefully through the short space of time which wparates us from the great day on which the Accompli4hmeut of the union shall be proclaimed As a constitutional Ministry, it will be, as it ought to be, alone responsible for the acts of his High ness's Government. Full of confidence, gentlemen, in the patriotism and wisdom of the great Legisla live Bodies, and in the good sense of the whole na tion, the new Ministry hopes that the task it has assumed, however difficult, will not be above its strength, thanks to your assistance. So long as we remain within the strict limits of the law, we have no reason to suppose that we can be deprived of your patriotic support." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, of the 10th, says :—" Den mark is now making overtures to some Powers to obtain the adoption of a project of definitive arrangement with regard to the German Duchies, based on the programme of the Danes of the Eider, or in other words, the more or less disguised incor poration of Schleswig. Overtures in that sense had also been made to Prussia. A passage in the Speech from the Throne mentioned them, and intimated that such offers were not considered as acceptable. GREECE. Intelligence from Athens states that the con spiracy against the King of Greece has completely failed, and that all the principal persons engaged in it have been arrested. Tranquillity has been completely re-established at Athens and Nauplia, at which last named place the conspirators had fixed their head-quarters. RUSSIA. " The news of Count Cavour's death," says the Nord, " produced a great sensation in Russia. Our correspondent at St. Petersburg, after speaking of the admiration felt in that country for the emi nent Italian statesman, expresses the apprehensions of the Russian public, which takes great interest in the fate of Italy." ROYAL OPERA, LYCEUM. "Ii Trovatore" was repeated at this opera on Thursday evening with great success. The parts were the same as on the opening evening, and the brilliant performances of the chief singers fully sus tained their reputation. Mdlle. Titiens was loudly applauded as Leonora, and sang with great bril liancy and feeling. Madame Alboni's exquisite voice delighted the audience in the part of the gipsy mother Azucena, and elicited enthusiastic applause in the duet with Manrico in the second act. Signor Giuglini, who has much improved both in singing and acting, distinguished himself greatly as Manrico. The brilliant trio between Manrico, the Count, and Leonora, at the close of the second act, was given with so much spirit and expression that the singers were loudly called for. The famous " Miserere" and "Ah the la morte," in the third act, received a unanimous encore which honour was also accorded to Signor della Sedie's expressive rendering of "Ii Balen." The minor characters were effectively sustained, and the per formance evidently gave great satisfaction to a large and fashionable audience. Verdi's last new opera " Un Ballo in Maschiera" will be performed for the first time this evening. HERR OBERTEUES CONCERT. Last Monday this distinguished harpist gave his annual grand morning concert at the Hanover square Rooms. The entertainment was very suc cessful, and gave great satisfaction to the bril liant audience. For many years Herr Oberthur haebeen noted for his striking execution, and his merits as a composer are no less remarkable. The solo for the clarionet was an exquisite nzorceau, and revealed great taste and judgment. The last piece, a grand national quartet, comprising several popular airs, was a great success, and elicited considerable applause. The concert was graced byrthe presence of our first English pianiste Arabella Goddard. This lady performed on two occasions, first a solo, in her usual brilliant style, and afterwards a duet with Herr Oberthur. Miss Armstrong acquitted herself admirably, although an apology was made for her on the score of a severe cold. In the solo, " The beating of my own heart," she achieved a decided triumph. Miss Wilkinson also attended, and in one song with violoncello accompaniment, , was pleasing in her delivery. She also gave en ' Italian duet with Miss Armstrong. The first piece of the concert was a very ela borate composition, also the work of Oberthurt It !was very well received, and displayed great musical knowledge blended with artistic skill. A duet on the concertina and harp by Regondi and Oberthur was very good, and on the whole this was decidedly one of the best of the morning entertainments of the season, and Herr Oberthur had every reason to be satisfied with the brilliant attendance, and the repeated applauee which was awarded to the pieces performed. There was also the advantage of variety, which is always a striking one in this sort of entertainment, and the crowning merit of some first-rate compositions that were ad mirably performed. A petition is said to have been addressed to the Senate praying for the abolition of the French Academy pour cause d'utilite publique. A postscript of the communication from Calcutta, dated May 8, states that Mr. Laing was suffering from a severe attack of dysentery, and was unable to go to sea in the mail steamer then leaving, but a letter dated the 9th says he was on board with his luggage, probably for a short trip. The directors of the Burra Burra had declared a dividend of £lOO per cent, on the capital stock (or £5 per share), payable on the Ist day of June next, and hope to pay a similar dividend on the Ist day of September follow ing. The price of the shares was £135. Copper was firm at £lO3 per ton. The local banks issued draughts on Lon don at 60 days' sight at 1 per mat. pm., and bought bills at 1 per cent. dis. It is reported in Paris that the enjants de troupe, of whom tiere are between 6,000 and 7,000, are, after they have passed 10 years of age, to be supplied with light mus kets and bayonets, for the purpose of being instructed in their use, with a view to the formation of a corps from Which the non-commissioned officers are to be selected for the army. At 17 years of age they are to be admitted into the ranks, so that their military education will have been completed on entering into the service. TIIE YELVERTON CASE.—The process in the Court of Session relative to the question of a Scotch mar riage toes not promise to be speedily settled. Some time ago the Lord Ordinary remitted to Mr. Crichton, advocate, to take proof by commission in the case, and the proof for the pursuer (Miss Longworth, alias Mrs. Yelverton) has been reported by thm Commissioner, along with numerous appeals on both sides, as to questions refused or allowed in the course of the proof. The Lord Ordinary (Ardmillan) ' having heard counsel on these appeals, issued an " interlo cutor" on Thursday disposing of them. There are only two points of importance involved in the appeals. His Lordship has found that in respect it is alleged by the pur suer, as a ground of action, that marriage was constituted by cohabitation and habit and repute, it is competent to prove what was the opinion formed at the time by wit nesses having the opportunity of observing the conduct and conversation of parties in regard to the footing on which the pursuer and defender lived together. Accordingly, he dismisses the appeals for the defender against all evidence of that character, and the effect of the judgment, if sus tained, will be to admit some important testimony for the pursuer. The other point affects the right of the pursuer herself to be examined. In an action of this kind, by the law of Scotland, the parties themselves cannot be admitted to the witness-box, but the pursuer seeks to have her evi dence received as to the loss of certain documents, with the view of being allowed to prove their contents by parole testimony. The Lord Ordinary holds that this application is without precedent or authority, and that the evidence is not admissible. His lordship remarks that his disposition in the case has been to admit evidence as fully and unre servedly as is consistent with the settled principles of the law, and in doubtful points to lean towards admission rather than exclusion. The necessary refusal of the pursuer's own testimony is, however, a serious disadvantage to her in the Scotch suit. It is understood that the pi esent interlocutor is to be reclaimed to the Inner House, and the taking of proof for the defender before the Commissioner is suspended till the reclaiming note is disposed of. Till all appeals taken in the course of proof are finally adjudicated the case will not be opened on its merits. The celebrated St. Paul's, Knightbridge, and St. Barnabas controversy was settled yesterday by the judicial committee of the Privy Council. The motion original was for enforcing a monition of the court for the removal of tarn ornaments from the church.

William Crane, Peter Debock, Joseph Barker, and John Newton, were indicted for stealing a large quantity of silk from a barge near the London Docks. The facts of this extensive robbery have appeared in The Sun, during the examination of the prisoners before the magistrate, at the Thames Police -court. All the prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine defended Newton, Mr. Sergeant Parry, Debock; Mr. Sleigh, Crane; and Mr. Cooper, Barker. The prosecution is conducted by Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland. This case was resumed to-day, and it is not anticipated that a verdict will be delivered before Monday. THE WEATHER. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. This Day, t etween 8 and( B. E. IM. D. F. C.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.32 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4270 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is tosi to 106 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves little, if any, profit on sending gold to the United States. A BOY SHOT IN THE REGENT'-PARK.—Yester- day morning, shortly after 7 o'clock, the 29th, or North Middlesex Rifles, were assembled to the number of about 300 in the centre of Regent's-park, for the purpose of blank cartridge firing and battalion drill. The corps had formed square to receive cavalry, and, in obedience to orders, fired a volley. At this moment a youth, 15 years of age, named Thomas Dutton, residing at 12, Suffolk-place, Manning street, Marylebone, was observed to stagger and fall. Blood was seen streaming copiously down his face and neck, and he was instantlyremoved under direction of Mr. H. Sutherin, one of the surgeons of the regiment, who was on duty. He had sustained a contused and lacerated wound immediately above the left ear, which had laid the skull bare to the bone, and which left no doubt but that he must have been within three or four feet from the muzzle of one of the rifles when it was fire& It appears that Dutton, upon his own state ment, was in the habit of ascertaining when rifle corps fired in the parks and running in to pick up the exploded percus sion caps, for which he obtained at the rate of 9d. to Is. per lb. Dutton was removed to the University College Hospital, where he was placed under the care of Mr. Andrews. It is the opinion of both gentlemen that had the wound been another inch more forward towards the temple death would have been instantaneous. Zeo,auo has Loot.

THE MURDER IN SURREY.--An inquest was opened at the Red Lion,Kingswood, on the body of Martha Halliday. No new facts were disclosed. The jury was adjourned for a week. A WOMAN CHARGED WITH POISONING HER HUSBAND.--A woman living in a cottage in the valley of Cly Hwr, Llandissil, Cardiganshire, who married in De cember last, has poisoned her husband with phosphoric powder, commonly used to destroy rats. An investigation has taken place, which has resulted in her committal on a charge of wilful murder. ROBBERY BY A POLE.---This morning Joseph Benet, a Pole, was charged at the Marlborough-street Police Court with stealing 17 handkerchiefs from the shop cf Messrs. Sandilands, Regent-street. The prisoner secreted the property on his person, whiie he was engaged making a purchase. A number of silk scarves supposed to have been stolen from some other shop were also found upon him. He was remanded for a week. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yes terday (Friday) evening a serious fire occurred, unfortu nately with fatal consequences to a young woman, in the premises of Mr. Alex. Keene, known as the Three Tuns Tavern, No. 2, Moor-street, Soho. The flames commenced in the back bar from an escape of gas, it is believed, and owing to the quantity of spirits in the place, the flames ex tended with unusual swiftness, and in the course of a few minutes the fire had taken possession of the whole of the staircase, and had entered every room at the back of the establishment. The engines of Soho parish and six belong ing to the London Brigade were soon in attendance. A plentiful supply of Ns ater having been obtained, the engines were called into operation, but as the firemen were working on the staircase it gave way, and the men were precipitated some distance below. Fortunately they were not much in jured, but a poor young woman, named Ann Brown, who acted as cook, was terribly burnt, and was taken to the hos- , pital, where she soon expired. From information that we have received this morning, we have reason to believe it most probable that Professor Ellicott will reconsider his determination not to accept the Deanery of Exeter. We believe that he has been requested to do so on the highest authority, on the understanding that an opportunity will be afforded him for undertaking duties connected with theological teaching, for which he is so eminently qualified. We trust this may be the case. The statement in some of the papers that the cause of the Professor's refusal was the insufficiency of the income is, we need hardly say, utterly unfounded, though one can well understand a man of his active habits object ing to merge into t,hp onraparative retirement of a Deanery. John Bull, June 15. We lately announced the appointment of Sir Frederick Nicolson, Bart., to the post of Conservator of the River Thames. There is an old adage which, we think, applies to Sir Frederick—" It never rains but it pours." This very fortunate officer has been selected by the First Lord of the Admiralty to succeed Captain the Hon. J. R. Drummond at Woolwich as Commodore •Superintendent. The salary, according to a parliamentary paper now before us, attached to the office is £1,182 10s. There is a very excellent house fitted up as a residence for the Commodore; and, on the whole, a more desirable post for a young officer desirous of living near London could not well be desired.— Army and J%ravy Gazette. "Pa, can a person catch anything if he don't run after it ?" " Certainly not." " Well, then, how did you catch the cold you've got ?"

H a that opposes his own judgment against the consent of the times, ought to be backed with unalterable truths ; and he that has truth on his side is a fool as well as a coward, if he is afraid to own it, because of the currency or multitude of other men's opinion.

All packages containing goods intended for the International Exhibition of 1862 shalt be specially reported as such, and shall be addrcAsed to the Commissioners of the International Exhibition, or to one of their officers, and be consigned to a duly accredited agent, and shall be accompanied with specification of their contents and value. They shall be separately entered as intended for the Inter national Exhibition, and the agents in passing their entries shall specify the full contents of the packages together with the value. 2. Such packages as may be landed in London shall be forwarded unopened to the Exhibition in charge of an approved licensed carman, acrJompa nied by a cart note from the landing officer, giving a description of the packages .and the marks and numbers thereon ; and in cases where there may be reason to suppose they contain other goods than those for the Exhibiti m they shall also be accom panied by a revenue officer. 3. Packages landed at the out-ports shall be for warded with a similar note by railway or other public conveyance, under seals of office, direct to , the exhibition, the officers at the respective ports taking care that the packages bear no private address, and that the documents relating thereto be immediately forwarded to the proper officers of her Majesty's Customs stationed at the Exhibition. 4. On the arrival of the goods at the Exhibition no package shall be opened without the knowledge and consent of the officers of Customs, and if the goods be found to agree with the entry or specifi cation, they will, if free, be at once considered as out of charge of the Customs, the entry or declara tion being deemed sufficient for all statistical pur poses. _ 5. In the case of all dutiable goods, an account will be taken by the officers of the crown at the time of the first opening of the packages, but such deficiencies as may occur within the building from any legitimate or unavoidable cause, the officers being fully satisfied thereof, shall not be charged with duty. 6. That the building be considered for all practi cal purposes, a " bonded warehouse," and that in all cases where dutiable goods shall not be exported but retained for use in this country, the duty shall be assessed by the officer in charge at the building (and received in the Exhibition by a clerk duly appointed for the purpose), in accordance with the practice now existing in regard to articles found in passengers' baggage." 7. In the case of dutiable goods for exportation, an entry shall be passed in the long room and bond given for their due ... / ..ricalun, and ;on the receipt or this entry by the officer in charge of the build ing, the goods shall be packed in his presence, and if for shipment at an out-port, placed under seal, and forwarded in charge to a railway or other pub lic company; but if for shipment at this port, they shall then be sent in charge of Customs officers at the expense of the exporter, to be delivered into the charge of the searcher of the station from which they are to be shipped, without further examina tion, under the regulations applicable to goods shipped direct from the warehouse. CHARGE OF MISAPPROPRIATING TEN THOUSAND POUNDS. On Thursday and yesterday the County Court judge at Liverpool (W. A. Hulton,' Esq.) was occu pied with hearing evidence in support of a petition, charging the president, secretary, treasurer, and several committee men and collectors of the Liverpool Burial Society with publishing false balance -sheets, g cooking accounts in various ways) and with h av i n knowingly conspi re d to defraud the society of sums of money amounting in the aggregate to £lO,OOO since Jan. 1, 1855. The petition stated that the members of the committee had appropriated £4 per week as r emuneration, the treasurer £8 per week, and the secretary (Lawrence) £l6 lOs. per week, and that these appropriations had been made (from small amounts granted at first) without any legal sanction of general meetings of the society. The printing business for the society was &scribed as a cloak r similar jobbery. The petition concluded by praying that the officials should be made to account for the moneys received since January, 1855 ; re fund all amounts beyond those to which they were properly entitled ; and to pay their own and the costs of this case. After some time had been occupied by a discus sion upon a proposal for a reference, Mr. Deighton (barrister), who appeared for some of the defen dants, urged several technical objections with a view to invalidate the petition ; but after Mr. Roby, for the petitioner, had been heard, the court decided that the petitioner seaman named Draper) clearly was one of the '• parties interested,'' who alone could institute such proceedings. Mr. Roby (solicitor) was then heard at length in support of the petition, the evidence being post poned until yesterday. Yesterday,' however, was occupied again almost entirely with arguments upon technical and legal points, and ultimately the case was adjourned to N0v.12.
