Sun Office, 112, Strand. 1 jet Pt , ‘ ,, F"Y, ot ' ' • c-§llll, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1856, Under the prevailing influence we must be quite contented to see Germans preferred to Eng lishmen. Indeed foreigners of any crc3l or country are favoured beyond the native popula tion. It has consequently been a frequent prat• tico for many of those who would be neglected as Englishmen to Germanise their names, or adopt other foreign-sounding titles, to obtain attention and patronage. It is not always, however, that " The rose by any other name will smell as sweet." There will be a rigid investigation of claims, when backstairs influences are brought into operation. Strong proofs must be given of Teutonic origin to satisfy the fastidious taste of the distributors of Government patronage. It will not suffice that the parties have connected themselves with a Foreign Legion, and been ready and willing to discharge any duties that might have been re quested at their hands. Oh no ; that falls far short of the indispensable requisites. The Eng lish taint must be avoided. That is the plague spot which consigns the sufferers to neglect and oblivion. The Germans may boast of their " fatherland ;" our countrymen have but a care less stepmother in place of a natural relative. In another part will be found a letter signed gi El 11Inro," which Strongly directs attention to this untoward state o f affairs. The comparison between the treatment of the Turkish Contingent, which was chiefly , if not alto gether, officered by Englishmen, and the other forei gn legions, affords a powerful illustratio n of the existin g practice. The officers of the German, Italian, and s w i m regiment" all receive at least a year's pay a s gra. THE SUN,', LONDoN, MONDAY EVI4:I /Ncis'—',SETTEMITER P, 5 tuities, besides important collateral advantages. The English officers of the Turkish battalion, who were at least on Turkish soil, eager for active employment, and burning to show what they had accomplished in training and disciplining the rude levies, have been summarily discharged with less than a quarter of the amount, two and a half months' pay, being all that they re spectively obtained as tokens of British gratitude. It is, indeed, the proportion usually adopted be- tween Germans and Englishmen. Witness the amount of bounties paid on enlistment, and the still greater disparity exhibited at the time of discharge. The German or Italian Legionary was ' handed a full year's pay. The Tipperary Militia man a few shillings out of the bounty promised, but never paid. The German obtained a freo grant of land, a free passage for himself and family, however numerous, ample rations, supplies and stock, wherewith to found a flourishing colony, clothing, arms (including a valuable Minie rifle), and ammunition. The Tipperary boy was turned out half naked, the wretched, worn-out uniform being stripped from his back, and the few shillings that stood between him and starvation, until he could obtain other employ ment, being required to procure the miserable slops which considerations of common decency rendered indispensable. Something should be done to check this in tolerable system. If Englishmen would only be true to themselves it would speedily be arrested. We have grumbled long enough, but fruitlessly. A time-honoured fable, however, indicates the correct course. As we find no efficacy in fair words or tufts of grass, may it not be time to try " what virtue there is in stones." England must ere long be for the English, and not for the Ger mans I Let us obtain that desideratum by fair means if we can ; but let us obtain it. Whether " born to good luck," in the unre stricted meaning of the phrase, or not, ALEXAN DER 11. has so far reason to account himself lucky. A year ago how gloomy, to all appearance, were his prospects. What a weight of care and anxiety rested on his shoulders. What danger of financial collapse and disintegration impended over his empire. Vainly had he drained the interior of his choicest troops, and poured them with lavish hand into the Crimea. The allied forces—rein forced and plentifully supplied at last with the muniments of war—proved themselves irresistible. The Malakhoff was taken by storm—the Russian forces were in full march to the north side of Sebastopol—the Allies had but to push forward and the remainder of the devoted stronghold, the Crimea itself, possibly the Russian forces also, would have fallen into their hands. Fear and trembling were to be found on every hand be hind the boasted Russian bulwarks on the shores of the Baltic and the Neva. The crackling of the setting ice suggested thoughts of the crumbling up of the power of Holy Russia in the coming spring. The hopes of the most sanguine began to fail them, and in all his vast dominions there was probably no man more oppressed with care and despondency, and less to be envied than the EMPEROR. The dream of his ancestors, which had been so far wonderfully realised seemed about to be divested of its materiality, and the labours of between one and two centuries to be cast utterly away and remembered as of no account. The mighty combination of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey was rapidly developing the strength of its vast proportions—and Austria, with the whole horde of time-servers, and all who hated Russian sway, waited but a favourable moment to contribute their quota to Russian humiliation t Now how different is his position. Well as his troops and diplomatists fought for him, his would have been a poor case if none had fought better. While the strength of Russia seemed to verge on exhaustion in her own territory, a power greater than the armies and fleets of the Allies took com passion on her, and arrayed itself on her side. Believe us it was not the Dtvrxs. The unex pected succour came from a far different quarter. The power that bade a victorious army advance no further, and put a veto one the eniprise of expectant fleets, was the directing power of France and England. NAPOLEON and Lord Pa L - XERSTON Cs master) were the deliverers of Russia from her imminent peril. The task was theirs to nullify the toils and privations of brave armies, render innocuous the thunderbolts of mighty arsenals, and stultify France, and still more Eng land, before the world. In an hour of peril such as Russia had not passed through even in the times of PETEL the Great, the Emperor .4 L EXAN DER was rescued from danger, and placed on a pinnacle, from which he may hereafter overawe the world, by his enemies themselves. If this is not luck, where shall we find it ? And now fresh from the most imposing cere monial probably ever witnessed in modern times (for the excelling splendour of which, by the way, our neighbours the French, and the subjects of FRANCIS JOSEI'II have o reason to be grateful a e they will find when their sovereigns choose to be crowned), what a position is that of the Emperor ALEXANDER ! The jubilant peals which hailed his coronation, innumerable and long sustained a s they were, would not have been thrown away to celebrate the madness or the Allies and the services they have rendered Russia. The newly anointed Emperor stands half a century in advance of the point from which, but for the war, he had set out on his father's decease. The Allies have dowered hint in his youth with the wisdom he probably would not have attained before old age, or, if sooner, only at the heaviest cost. Seated on the throne of his ancestors, and treasuring at his heart the ambitious longings and the traditionary policy of his house, his eyes are opened to the defects of his military and financial system, and he is enabled, like the knight whose skill and armour have been tested in the tournament, to prepare abundantly for every exigency of the fight. The waste of human materiel on the steppes of Ruseda, and of treasure in useless equipment, and the speedy exhaustion of his finances, are lessons which a Russian Emperor could not be expected to over look. These drawbacks will not have to be allowed for in a future war. Already the En- PEROR plans out the intersection of the Russias with railways, and recognises in commerce a mine of wealth which it were folly to overlook. "Peace for War," and not " War for Peace," will henceforth be his motto, and the barbaric hordes in his dominions will be content to bide his time. With no oppo• sition or concealed animosity to dread from the great majority of his subj ec t s , w ith un i n t errup t e d space to complete whatever may be necessary for the achievement of his aims, and with the cer tainty that his behests will be duly carried out, what has he to do but wait for an opportunity at once of conquest and re venge ! Not the least noticeable portion of the coronation ceremony was the homage paid to the tombs of his ancestors, and he would be unworthy of them, and a hypocrite to boot, if he failed to carry out, to the best of his ability , their schemes of aggrandisement, supposing h e entertained none himself, of revenge. And no ' thing stands in th e wa y of preparation but these Christian, virtues which never proved an obstacle I to the House of ROMANOFF. What a change within a single y' tar ! How much the EMPEROR is indebted to France and England ! DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The question relative to the plan of govern ment to be adopted in the Danubian Principali ties will very speedily be discussed by the Com missioners appointed by Europe for that purpose; and this question of our for-sign policy is one which nut only is of univerFal importance to us, but upon it will depend the free existence of Wallachia and 'Moldavia under the SULTAN'S sway, and also the trrlnquillity of the whole of Western Europer—its. civilisation and prosperity. There are three points which will occupy diplo macy in the S( ittlement of this serious and most important sul . elect. They are, first, shall these provinces remain, as at present, separate and in dependent cif each other, but suzeraine to the SULTAN, ruled by Hospodars elected by them selves, under the confirmation of the Porte ? secondly, shalt these provinces be consolidated into one, ruled over by onell.ospodar, chosen among themselves as before? and, thirdly, shall they be consolidated, but be ruled over by a Foreign Prince, suzeralne to the SULTAN t These are the simple points upon which Europe is called upon to discuss and, decide. An error, however, cora lmitted in this aff a i r ma y l ea d t o mos t di sas t rous consequences. The topographical position of the provinces will at once convey to every reasoning mind the con sequences we allude to. They are the highroad to an invasion of Constantinople. Walla chia, Moldavia, Servia, Bulgaria, lead to the "same prize, and they all profess what our Northern rivals call the orthodox religion. One false step in deciding upon the government of the provinces will lead to treachery, bloodshed, and barbarity. The Danubian Provinces have been for time immemorial, and long before— consequently they formed a portion of the Turkish empire —in a separate form ; that is, they formed two distinct governments, ruled by two distinct Hospodars. The Ottoman Power kept to the s Imo mode of government, because it was pro per to the Provinces and a safeguard to thsdr p rivileges and prosperity ; otherwise, when the Crescent was at the gates of Vienna, the con queror could have imposed upon the Provinces vrhatever form of government he thought proper. 1 Ile saw, however, in this instance, that union was not force, and, like a wise legislator, con firmed what he saw would be for the well-being and prosperity of those populations, and they have existed to the present day under two rulers suzeraine to the SULTAN. Look at the fate of Poland—Poland united—Poland a kingdom— where is she, and what has been her fate ? Yet Moldavia and Wallachia still exist, in spite of every species of intrigue and attempt at revolu tion, and exist because, and only because, they are not consolidated ; join them as one weak power, and they are swallowed up by an avaricious and barbarian nation. We have not been happy in our deliberation in Congress. Let us, however, if we have any weight as a nation, be serious for once, for the sake of variety, and not submit to be again the laughing-stock of Europe. The folly, indeed the crime, of consenting to the consolidation of Wallachia and Moldavia into one Province can be proved in a few words. If under one Hospodar chosen from the united population, in the first place, there is uo family of sufficient consideration or standing to be hereditary ruler ; and, in the second place, no Moldavian would consent to - be under the dominion of a Wallachian or a Walla chian under a Moldavian ; jealousies, feuds, revolution, and bloodshed would follow such a delusive attempt, and, in the midst of dissension, a power is ready to take advantage of domestic broils, having already fomented them, and under the pretence of calming their passions, would quietly take possession of their territory; and, need we say, that all attempts to ascend in the scale of civilisation would be blocked out for ever ; liberty, freedom, happiness, and prosperity would be banished as prohibited merchandise. The idea of naming a Foreign Prince as Viceroy under the Suriax has been thought the ne plus ultra of diplomacy, and indeed taking the word diplomacy in its literal sense, it is so, for it is evidently intended by such a proposition to de prive the SULTAN of his rights, though put for ward as a means of safeguarding his dependencies —we say evidently intended, because the think -1 ing portion of mankind can perceive the cunning and delusion of such a scheme. We need only mention .Greece. Let us take history for our guide, and as Governments depend more upon prece dents than plain good sense, let them look to Greece and Egypt. The Foreign Prince named as ruler over the million of population of Greece was suzeraiue to the SULTAN, yet ho declared hi :u - self independent of that Sovereign. How much more easy then would another Foreign Prince with four millions of people, and the geographical posi tion of his territory so much in his favour, throw off his allegiance and declare himself independent ? But mark the difference between the relative positions of Greece and the Danubian Pro vinces ; the vicinity of Wallachia and Moldavia, to Russia on one hand and Austria on the other ; and the immense difficulty England would have to encounter in an attempt to protect the Provinces from an invasion, clearly shows that the self-con stituted new kingdom would soon share the fate of the kingdom of Poland, and, instead of these prolific countries becoming rich, and prosperous, and happy under the paternal Government of the SULTAN, they would be crushed to slavery, and re monstrance would only be the means of a voyage to Siberia. This is what the union of the Provinces would effect ere we got in time to arrest the blow ; and if we do not boldly record ourselves against the consummation of such an outrageous and de lusive act, we ought to hide our heads in seclu sion, and leave the destiny of nations to those who have more foresight than ourselves. The only means for the Principalities to be happy and free, looking to their exceptional topographi cal position, is to leave them in their present separate state as suzeraine to the SULTAN, with liberal institutions and the exercise of their agri cultural pursuits ; and we ought, as a free people, to rouse our energies, arkd assist with all our moral strength, and not allow four millions of people to become oppressed, as they assuredly will be, if the infamous attempt at consolidation become a fait accompli. j The annual gathering and games at Braemar are fixed to take place on Thursday. It is expected that her Majesty and the Prince will honour the occasion with their presence.

" Berne, Sept. 3," FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. Marshal Serrano, the Spanish Minister, arrived last night in Paris, with a view of meeting M. Walewski, but he not being in Paris, his Spanish Excellency returned to Biarritz again. M. Pacheco left Boulogne last night for London. The merchants of Marseilles having ascertained that the wheat harvest will not be sufficient for the home consumption of all France, are begin ning to suggeit to the Government, through their local papers, that a repeal of the corn laws is indis pensable or at least an extension of the Imperial decree whichi permits the free importation of corn, and which will expire on the Ist of January next. They observe that, although 2,000,000 hectolitres of wheat hare been imported within the last two months, through the port of Marseilles, it will be impossible, by the end of the year, to supply the deficiency which exists, and to execute the orders for exportation already received. The Spanish Government has prolonged the period for the free importation of corn until the 30th of June next, and the Marseilles Merchants ask why should France be less liberal than Spain. Another bad consequence apprehended from the delay of the Government in issuing a decree to prolong the period for the free importation of corn, is that the holders of wheat will not bring their stocks to mar ket, and the present high prices will be maintained. The Swiss and French newspapers give various details of the little fight at Neuchatel, and some of them state the killed and wounded on the side of the Royalists as high as 60 or 70 persons, which is probably an exaggeration. One of the Pourtales is said to be badly wounded. Colonel de Meuron is reported to have escaped, and Count de Wes dehlen to be a prisoner. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 4.—The Preicssische Correspon. Benz informs its readers that, in conformity with a regulation made by the King in 1841 for the bien nial convocation of the provincial estates of this country, the Provincial Diets of Preussen, Posen, Silesia, Saxony, Westphalia, and Rheinland will be convoked on Oct. 5 for the despatch of business. For the provinces of Brandenburg and Pomerania the day of covocation remains to be fixed subse quently, with a view to meeting the conveni ence of the parties interested in the matters to be deliberated on. These provincial institutions for local legislation fell into desuetude at the time of the revolution of 1848, and it was the hope of the Liberal party that they had been definitively superseded by the parliamentary institution of the Legislative Chambers for the whole kingdom, seeing that they were the stronghold of a narrow, local spirit of provincial particularism, opposed to the progress of wider views of improvement and deve lopment, but in 1854 they were revived, mainly by the agency of the present Minister of the In terior, and seem now to have resumed their former place among the institutions of the country. The simultaneous existence, however, of the Diet of the whole kingdom, the two Chambers, prevents the local spi r it of the provincial estates influencing any other than mere local legislation, and they seem to occupy now about the same place iu the Prussian polity that the grand juries of the counties do in ours. Baron von Budberg, having delivered his letters of recall at this Court, has now repaired to New Stre]itz to present his letters of recall from that Court also, he having been accredited simultane ously to Prussia and Mecklenburg. General von Adlerberg, Governor of Simpheropol during the war, and a son of the Adjutant-General of that name, is expected hero as successor to General von Beaokended; the late military representative of Russia at this Court. General Benekendorff goes as Minister to Stuttgardt. y to A T - -.4 41.1 • Tntnr, Sept. I.—The presence of Prince Murat I at Aix-les-Bains bas caused o'nsiderable uneasi ness to Neapolitan diplomatists in this part of the world, though no one but those of exceedingly ner vous temperaments, or those tombled With very timid consciences, were likely to be affected by such a very simple and natural proceeding. How ever, th© treat cause of alarm for these gentlemen has been removed, as the Prince has returned to Paris, and his relations, who went to see him, to their respective homes, so that it may be hoped King Ferdinand's representatives will soon be re stored to tranquillity of mind on that score. It is true that the Prince was accompanied from Paris by Sig. Salicetti, who has long been tutor to his sons, and he might have met at Aix one or two ether persons to whom rumour has ascribed the place of Ministers in petto, to be confirmed when he shall be King of Naples. And it is a fact also that this combination gave rise to much excitement among the Neapolitan refugees here, which is not very astonishing, seeing how apt all men in exile are to catch at straws, and how habitually excit able Neapolitans are at all times. As was natural, therefore, reports of various kinds obtained circula tion as to the intentions of the future King, and his probable policy was discussed in cafes and beer shops in Turin with as much earnestness as if he bad been already seated on the throne of his fa ther. But the fermentation went no further, and, though it was said that many of his future subjects had gone from here to do him homage, I have not been able to discover a single well-authenticated case of any having done so except the members of the Murat family, and therefore I much doubt the on dit that "great numbers of Neapolitans have gone to Aix to meet Murat." As to the proclamations attributed to Prince Murat, it is evident that a very different language has been held by himself and by his principal ad visers, though whether this difference was the effect of a secret understanding or of real dissent it is im possible to say ; but it is a fact that, while his High ness has denied ever having issued any proclama tion to the Neapolitans, and has authorised his re lations in Italy to contradict the reports of his having done so, some of his friends have been promising most liberally in his name, and have shown a sketch of a constitution which, they say, their chief would establish in the Neapolitan kingdom. These flat tering promises, however, which go so far as to hold out an expectation of institutions similar to those existing in Piedmont, so far outstrip pro bability, that reasonable men of the Neapolitan emigration whom I have heard speak of them doubt either their authenticity or their sincerity, for, they say, either Murat would be restrained by his cousin, the Emperor of the French, from declaring such complete liberty, or he would only accord it with the intention of destroying it by a coup d'etat on the first opportunity offered by the impulsiveness of the people. Great hopes have been raised lately in the Mura• tists by the disaffection that has shown itself and is said to be on the increase in the Neapolitan army, but Signor La Farina, in a pamphlet published to day, called Murat and the Unity of Italy, very well remarks, " Where are the Muratist generals who could promote and direct such an insurrection?" If, he says, the Neapolitan army, weary of the in sults and injuries heaped upon it, should some day rise with one mind and cry "enough" to a Govern ment which has so abused its power,it will not be for the object of substitutingone master for another, of taking a Murat instead of a Bourbon, but for the sacred cause of the country, and under the national flag of Italy, not the equivocal standard of a pre tender. It is a curious fact, that the only contradiction brought forward by the Austrian Government against General Garibaldi's statement respecting the deaths of Ciceruacchio and his sons, &c., should be founded on the assertion of a London correspon dent who said he heard so and so from somebody else. The Austrian Government may be assured that if it cares for its reputation for honour an d uprightness with any portion of the Italian people, from the highest to the lowest, it must adopt very different means from these to clear its character of the imputation cast upon it by so credible a wit ness as General Garibaldi. A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., in the Correspondance Italienne, says : "A liberal proclamation bas been lately distributed among the troops, by whom it appears to have been well received. Another proclamation has reached from Sicily, recommending union between the two countries. It is certain that the Neapolitan troops would not fight today with the same ardour as in 1848 and 1849 against the Sicilians. Tho officers publicly declare that they are disgusted to serve a Government which repays them with ingratitude. General Filangeri seldom appears at Court, where he is regarded as an enemy, because he is known to be amicably disposed towards the French. The nery Pontifical Nuncio is shortly expected at Napltp." AUSTRALIA. SYDNEY, JUNE 4. The Star of the East, with the English mail and advices to the 9ch March, arrived at Melbourne on Saturday, May 31. The Sydney portion was re ceived here on Monday light, by one of the coast ing steamers. This arrival is fortunately in time to enable merchants to answer their letters by the Walter Hood (from Melbourne), for which the Sydney mail will be made up this evening. The recent arrival of some assorted cargoes of goods, in which the stocks in hand had become low, has imparted some activity to the trade of the city ; and as the gold diggings are still very remunerative, and the demand for supplies in the interior con. tinued good, there is a prospect of a favourable state of things in all the markets shortly. The Queen's birthday (24th ult.) was celebrated here, as in every other portion of her Majesty's Australian colonies, with the usual loyal demon strations. It is always a close holiday with us, and the colonists took good care to enjoy it. A royal salute was fired from the fort, and the Governor-General held a lev4e, which was very numerously attended, as was the State ball at Government House on the following Tuesday. The Governor-General opened the first session of the parliament of New South Wales on the 23d ult., and in a speech of some length adverted to various topics suggestive of improvement in our colonial affairs—among which are a comprehensive system of public education, increased facilities fur the acquisition of land, extension of railways, the establishment of municipal councils throughout the colony, and the institution of law courts at Bris bane for the northern district. Mr. Daniel Cooper (the millionnaire) has been elected Speaker of the House of Assembly, by a majority of one, over Mr. Parker. The beaten party ascribe his success to the prospect of the splendid banquets which are expected to be served up at the Speaker's table. The chief justice, Sir Alfred Stephen, is the President of the Legislative Council, or Upper House. Already have the holders of seats in each house ranged themselves in adverse parties, ministeria lists and opposition, or rather ins and out s , an d, ore any other business is transacted, the belliger ents have sturdily contested the premier pas. Para graphs in the address, in reply to the governor's speech, have formed the groundwork of motions intended to test the strength of the ministry ; and those motions, in the shape of amendments, have been negatived in three divisions, in favour of the government. The members of the lower house who have accepted office . will have to appeal to their conAitumte, for re-etection, of 7hich there is no reason to doubt. In the meanwhile both houses stand adjourned for ten weeks, the interim being required for the preparation of the estimates for the ensuing year, the adoption of r u l es an d regu lations required by the new form which the colo nial legislature has assumed, and other official matters. There being no established form of religion in the colony, and consequently the liturgy of the Church of England is not read, as in England, pre vious to the parliamentary business of the day, a motion has been put to the rote that the Speaker should, before the commencement of business, read the 67th Psalm. The mover (Mr. Holt) adduced examples of the custom of invoking the Divine blessing among the Greeks, Romans, and Jews, as well as Christian nations. The motion was nega tived by 26 to 9. Our vicinity is now infested by a gang of burglars, whose motions are very erratic, but uct so cleverly contrived as to elude the vigilance of our active police. Among other houses where nightly visita tions have been inflicted are those of Col. Barney, at Northshore ; Mr. Moriarty, Lane Cove ; Mr. Broadhurst, barrister, Pott's Point ; and Mr. Blax land, Newington, near Paramatta. In the last mentioned case, Mr. Blaxland, being alarmed by a noise, awaited the entrance of the burglar, whom, after watching his motions for some time, he shot with a pistol, wounding him severely. Whilst, however, his attention was called away by the screams of his family, the fellow whom he had cap tured contrived to escape, leaving a track of blood behind him which the dogs who were sent out un fortunately obliterated. The mail from Braidwood to Goulburn was rob bed last week by an armed bushranger. Henry I Hollis, the driver, was the only person in the con veyance at the time. The robber levelled a musket at him, and ordered him to get out of the coach. The fellow then entered the vehicle, and threw out ! the mail bags, which he ripped open, taking t. some letters, leaving the registers d one. He se lected; as the chief part of his booty, a tlea - Vy bag containing only newspapers, probably considering de most Valuable portion of the despatch. The remainder Was found on the scene of the robbery on air b!tin• given, We are somewhat sensitive here onthe gUbjent of the rumoured differences between GI eat Britain and thk_i Wnitsd States of America, on account of our undefended position. We do not relish the prospect of a descent upon out licrtegi and the pillage, by the Go-aheads, of our banks and stotes. Among the late successful findings in the gold fialds was a solid lump of gold, weighing 644 oz. 3 dwts. (nearly 541 b.), the fortunate diggers being three men named John Williams, John Matthews, and George Stapleton, at the Black Creek, near Castlemaine. About 80 oz. of small gold were found near the ponderous nugget. A lump of 120 oz., im pregnated with about 5 oz. of quartz, was found at Middleton Creek. The colonists of Tasmania are very sanguine just now of that island being rich in the auriferous deposit, and the search for the hidden treasure is being actively proceeded with. A grand musical festival is shortly to take place at Melbourne With a band of 200 performers, Mdme. Anna Bishop to be the principal cantatrice. Railway extension is making very satisfactory progress in this colony. Of the line from Paramatta to Liverpool three miles of the permpnent way are laid and ready for ballasting, and it is expected that the opening will take place in Sept. next. On the Newcastle and Maitland line 14 miles of the per manent way are laid, leaving only three miles to be completed. The rolling stock is expected to arrive from England in time to open this portion of the line in October. Ships arrived from England—May 31, the Libe ria, Morton, 121 days, from Liverpool ; June 2, the Rodney, Blissett, 100 days, from London. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ETNA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. This morning the screw steam-ship Etna, Capt. Miller, arrived in the Mersey. She sailed from New York on the same day (viz., the 27th ult.) that the Canada left Boston, bringing one day's later news from the former port. She has brought one passenger, but no specie. The Etna passed the Asia, from hence on the 6th, on the morning of the 7th, off Ballycotton. At the steamer's departure, money was plentiful at New York on call at 7 per cent., more confi dence having been inspired by news from Nica ragna. - Stocks steady. Exchange on London and Paris dull at previous rates. Small sales in the cotton market ; prices unal tered. Wheat easier ; flour not in demand. Common grades dull and lower. There was no material alteration in the provision market. Freights remain dull. RUSSIAN REPLY TO LORD CLARENDON'S NOTE. • Le _Nord publishes with the aid of its Berlin, correspondent, the following account of a diplo matic note which the Russian government has caused to bo addressed to the English Government, and which, it says, must have come into the hands of the latter several days ago : . .. . This note is an answer to another note which had been address®d by the British Government to that of St. Petersburg, complaining of the delay which Russia, in its opinion, apparently wished to cause in carrying out the engagements it had con tracted by the treaty of Paris. Recapitulating all the griefs of the Foreign•oflice, Prince Gortschakoff analyses them in succession, and refutes them with such lucidity, precision, and firmness of language as must have proved to the cabinet of London that, although Russia wishes to keep up friendly rela tions with England, she has no intention, for all that, to use a colloquial expression, of letting her toes be trodden on. Prince Gortschakoff proves irrefutably that Rus sia, far from carrying out with a bad grace the stipu lations of the treaty of peace, is, on the contrary, ready in every place to fulfil her engagements to the very letter ; proved, for the rest, by her evacua tion of Kars, performed with an obliging promp titude and a good grace that even the journals of Constantinople have been compelled to acknow ledge. As for the Isle of Serpents, Prince Gorts chakoff declares that Russia cannot concede to one of the powers that signed the treaty of Paris the right of raising by herself alone and of her own mere motion a question that cannot be solved unless by all these powers at one and the same time, as the congress of Paris has clearly specified. Besides, the demarcation of the new frontiers of Bessarabia has to be performed and is being per formed by the commission appointed for that pur pose by the congress of Paris, and as for what concerns the regulating the navigation of the Danube and the Russian frontier in Asia, the Russian commissioners have been long at their post, where they merely wait for the other dele gates to arrive in order to commence their task. Such is in sum, leaving out the c )nclu-ive argu ments and the unanswerable facts quoted in illus• tration, the answer with which the Emperor Alexander's Minister of Foreign Affairs rebuts the accusation attempted to be foisted on Russia by the British cabinet, with little apparent good faith, in so unusual a manner, and so exceedingly ill timed.

THE ISLE OF MAN.—The glorious scenery of ibis island, together with its almost uniform and highly salu brious climate, equal, according to Professor Dore 's ac count, of Berlin, to any other in the world, is attracting the attention of the wealthy valetudinarian as well as those who are in search of health and the picturesque. The conversion of the magn.ficent re-ideece of the Duke of Athol into an hotel, has chiefly contributed to make this island known, and it is but right to say that the " Castle Mona" is a model for seaside hotels, cunhini eg as it does all the econornicre ,comforts of an English home, with the requirements and luxuries , , if necessary, of the Continent. We may also, in bearing testimony to this establishment, draw attention to the academic resources of the island, whicb, together with the hotel, contrast favourably with the majority of such institu tions in any part of the kingdom.— United Service Gazette.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL IN PRESTON.—Sir Colin Camp bell, G.C.B. who has recently been appointed Inspect, r- General of infantry, visited the Preston garrison at Ful wood Barracks on Thursday morning, for the purpose of inspecting the troops there stationed. The gallant General was accompanied by Colonel Stirling, C.B , his aide-de-camp. On entering the barrack-yard Sir Colin found the whole of the me n composing the depot of the 34th and the 97th Regiments of Foot drawn ,Up on parade to receive him. The men were first formed into line, and Sir Colin commenced a very minute inspection, passing slowly from man to man until he had examined every soldier in the battalion. This inspection completed, the men marched past in review order, and manoeuvred, and subsequently exhibited their kits, the whole of which underwent a strict examination by the general. Sir Colin expressed his admiration of the efficient state of the battalion, and was much pleased with the cleanliness and high discipline of the troops. At the dinner hour he also inspected the dinner and barrack rooms, after wards visiting the hospital, the prison, and the schools, of all the arrangements in which departments Sir Colin expressed his approval. The inspection occupied up wards of four hours, Sir Colin being accompanied by Col. Alves, commandant of the battaliOn, in his strict examination of the troops. 'Sir Colin Campbell has sine left Preston for Dublin. It is understood that Sir Colin is prosecuting these inquiries with a view to the prepa ration of a report upon the battalion system, and to the recommendation, if deemed advisable, of fixed training schools in various par ts of the kingdom for o ffi cers and men. - SUNDAY 178 c IN THE PARKS. CLOSE OF THE REASON, The Sunday Bands Committee brought the season to a cloe yesterday in the Regent's and Victoria Parks. In the former, in addition to the ordinary band, the Hungarian Band, conducted by NI. Kalozdy, was et] : - ;,aged, and performed several of their most celebrated pieces. The performances on this occasion commenced at three and terminated at six o'clock. Half-an•hour before the music commenced the people began to pour in in great numbers ; and it is the opinion of those who have been in attendance throughout the season that there were nearly 200,000 persons in the park during the afternoon. Notwithstanding this vast assemblage not the slightest disturbance or inconvenience arose, but everything passed off in the most orderly manner. At the termination of the National Anthem, which was admirably performed by the two bands united, a shout of applause burst from the assembled multitude, bat was speedily suppressed, and the people quietly dispersed. The following is the programme performed by the People's Subscription Band and Kalozdy'e Hungarian Band in the Regent's Park : Parade March Minnie Tutton. Overture " William Tall" Rossini.

The appeal of the committee respecting the purchase of programmes was warmly responded to by the people yesterday, as we are assured the receipts from that source exceeded 401. UNFAIR TREATMENT OP THE TURKISII CONTINGENT. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : ' Sir s —As one among many officers in the same P° 2y tion as myself, lately forming part of the Turkish CO' tingent, allow me to make known through your colul the circumstances of peculiar hardship under whic h consider that we labour when compared with thooce' the German and Italian Legion. These officers in the contingent who belonged eithe r to the Queen's regular service, or to that of the II"' East India Company, on the disbanding of our forces returned, as a matter of course, to their respective s e r ments. They had been allowed to serve in Turkel, while the war lasted, drawing regimental full paY ,l l, well as their contingent pay and allowances ; to the, officers I do not refer, but there was another clas s men who held commissions in the Turkish Contingen t.-- viz., officers on half-pay or who had sold out of the see: vice, and others who (no less than the foregoing, ED' lishmen at heart), had served in foreign armies ; on the declaration of war, flew from all parts of the we t ld to take part in the coming struggle, anxious to distill' guish themselves, desirous of serving their country. Many of these offiters gave up comfortable homes, sold, I need not say at what sacrifice—the property which bad maintained them, and received in retail commission in the Turkish Contingent. They ac te h from honest patriotic motives, making no bargain wi t Government what pay they were to receive, how their service was to last, or what gratuity was to given on the disbanding of the force, many of them D ot even stipulating what rank they were to hold ; it V' sufficient for them to know that their services W ell required by their country, and that there was eel prospect of their being sent on immediate active servic e ,: That these hopes were most bitterly disappointe d well known ; but the fault was not theirs. On vril oll3 the blame really rests they know. They were disgusted at being prevented from takist an active part in Asia in the autumn of 1855, am id tiro! . stirring scenes in which they had fondly hoped to boob'', to distinguish themselves, but still they did their dutY P soldiers without complaint, and turned all their attentiol during the long ensuing winter to the well-being e ul discipline of their troops, to the increasing their influence: over the Turkish officers and men, and to the insportao_ object of getting them into the finest order possible, 0 ready for the anxiously-expected spring campaign. t With spring came peace, and on the 15th of May l t ; the cavalry of the Turkish contingent was reviewed the British Ambassador and the Seraskier on the heigh of Flermendere, and handed over the same day tosses Turkish Government. Those who saw the three brig 1' on that day felt and expressed their surprise at their $ l 7, dier like appearance, and at the ease and precision f i t, which they manoeuvred under the command of t u , e ' e ; British officers, doing ample justice to the unceasing care which Major-General Shirley had bestowed se n them from the first day that he assumed the nominal ,d ' The remainder of the troops shortly after arrived froili K ertch, and all the officers received from her Majesty ! Government two and a half months' pay and allowa nce ! , as a gratuity. Now, sir, we should have made no rem ar t on receiving this two and a half months' pay, altho ugel at the time we thought that the noble lord at th head of the War Department might have made it I t ! round numbers three months, and we should have se tied down "tent bien que real" into some other emPleir t mont—certainly not a Government one, for I need ne s say that in this aristocratic republic of ours the loaf" and fishes are not divided among the multitude, but re; served for men with noble or official connexions. 13e what do we find on arrival at home We find that the officers of the German, Swiss, s ,° cl Italian Legions hal made a bargain beforehand with er e• verument, and were to receive a year's pay as a g r 1 1; tuity, but, not satisfied with thi s , our G ove r n ment, P . ; digal to foreigners, but ac ti ng as a s t e p mo th er to its c gi e children, provides for her favoured German Legion ly sending them out to the Cape with free grants of la ° ; arms, ration , , and supplies, wherewith to found flourishing colony rich in future hope. We find that in concurrence with the Minister for tbs Argentine Republic the Italian Legion is to be sent to British transports, officers and men, to Parana, wi tb year's pay in advance as a gratuity, three months, rations and supplies cf all sorts furnished by her li d jesty's Government, three years' pay being gua rants% by the Argentine R e public, with a large grant of land s one of the finest and healthiest climates in the wo rld. One naturally asks what have these German and itti t: liars Legions done to deserve this favoured treatinc e The answer is " Nothing." Well, the Turkish Continge ll . did quite as much, at all events. "But," say their ad l3l ; rers, "they area splendid body of men, and if they had We called into the field would have distinguished themselve s ' s A ndl answer, so would we !

Is it right that b e ; cause Englishmen ma d e no b arga i n w ith Governtnee l s for their blood that th e y s h ou ld mee t w ith wors e tern; ' than those mercenaries who calculate on our country g distress, and sold their swords accordingly. Would an Englishman have the defence of the Caffre frontier equally at heart with a German, and is an Englishnli al a worse farmer than an Italian refugee I There are man/ officers who did good service in the contingent, wh ° sacrificed their all to join it from distant lands, and bags now returned to their families to regret the day in wh ic ' t they abandoned comfortable homes for a promising, passing shadow. These would gladly emigrate to th e Cape on the same terms as the officers of the Cierro n Legion.

Of HOUSE ADORNMENT.—With proper management - o the banging and papering, nothing can be more elegfal in a modern house than a well-selected collection ° water-colour drawings. It does not answer, however' to mix them with prints, or with oil pictures, for one, style of art, to a very great extent, destroys the effect of the other. There is at present not so much of the de' corative work of our dwellings left as in the older time for the ladies to exert their ingenuity u pon' but even that little might be somewhat bette r done. The patterns of the wrought covers of chairs an d footstools are often of anything but good design. i rb, e , large old-fashioned screens which in former days Wel' not only very ornamental; but also very useful an d COur fortable, often possessed much artistic merit: Som e were of carved ivory, inlaid with light blue silk, scarlet, black, &c. ; some of embossed leather, others e: tapestry work. The smaJer kind of fire-screens might be made to afford an opportunity for artistic diselaP In the Gnat Exhibition of 1851, the collection of Egg' lisp and othi r carpets suggested several ideas for the provement of this important manufacture at home. Those who carefully examined this portion of the Exhib i " tion, while they are gratified at the skill shown by the English, were at the same tune astonished at the licheess and harmony produced in the carpets of Turkey an u e Persia. In the furnishing of a house, the choosing el the carpets is of more consequence than is generally Bur posed. In a room in which gorgeous pictures, by Titiavy Rubens, and such artists are hung, and the fitting .1 are of corresponding taste, the carpet will admit of a go o deal of colour ; but the carpet ought always to be a se condary consideration, and in no instance intrude up on the eye. It is, perhaps, a good sign of the proper ba lance of the interkr decoration of a house, if in passing through it you are not led to observe what the carpeie are.—The Builder.
