The Sardinian question was before the House of Commons last night. The country is indebted to Mr. KINGLARE and Sir ROBERT PEEL for it. We need not say, after what we have more than once written on the subject, that it is a very great one. If France went wrong upon it, it must issue in a speedy and deadly war. If Italy surrendered the island to anything but open force, England could not easily forgive her. Indebted as she is to France, she is quite as much indebted to England. Indeed, we believe that it is not too much to say, that for her vast advances since the ignominious peace of Villafranca, she owes the non-intervention, which gave her free scope to act as she pleased, from the Po to the Island of Sieily—to the English Govern ment and the English fleet. A painful alienation, therefore, from Italy must be the result of her sur rendering Sardinia, and with it the mastery of the Mediterranean, to France; while with France itself it would speedily come to a test of the strength of the new ironsides. of the two countries. We have already given fully the opinion of the one man who knew, if any did, the naval value of Sardinia. It was worth, said Lord NELSON, forty Maltas. The harbour of Maddalena would hold our whole fleet, and were it in the possession of a great naval power not one ship could pass to the eastward. In every form of language the great Admiral expressed his conviction that France must not have Sardinia, and that if she had the Mediter ranean must become a French lake. We cannot, therefore, wonder if the present NAPOLEON would like to carry out the "Ideas" of the First NAPO LEON, it being notorious that he was as bent on having Sardinia, as Lord NELSON in keeping it from him. His only crime in getting it into his hands would be that of unscrupulous ambition ; one to which, we presume, he would little care to plead guilty, and one for which his people would most certainly be ready to bestow all the honours they could give—if only he was successful. Nothing in the world, we believe, would keep him from an nexing Sardinia off hand, but the attitude of Eng land, Italy h e is at present able to coerce. She bas not the fleet and army to keep him out of Sar dinia. The evidence is now brought to light that he did coerce Count CAVOUR in the affair of Savoy and Nice ; the Count resisted to the last, and the threat of the military oc cupation of Tuscany alone compelled him to yield. Similar threats will be employed by the master of Rome, if only England does not formally tell him that the alternative is a rupture, and one that must end in w ar , with us. The grounds of suspicion in regard to Fran ce are very strong. The r umours to which we h ave again and again adverted are indeed themselves strong grounds. In the case of the EMPEROR they are a very different thing to what they would be in any other quarter. All his preparations for deeds of this kind have been begun by rumours, intended not merely as feelers, but as the means of accustoming Europe to the idea on which he wished to act. Our Government itself has acted on these rumours both at Turin and Paris. Last year Count CAVOIIR was formally questioned on the subject and warned of our views ; M. TIIOUVENFL also was informed of what we had heard; both the Sardinian and French Ministers gave the most emphatic assurances that nothing of the kind was contemplated. The sub ject was soon brought a second time by Lord COWLEY before M. THOUYENEL, because sinister rumours had again reached England, but, alas ! we are not informed by our Government how Lord COWLEY and M. TROUVENEL settled this rather awkward questioning of French sincerity. One very suspicious fact is, however, too special to be passed over. Count CAVOUR, Mr. KIN GLAXE Says, applied to a gentleman well known to her Majesty's Ministers to visit the Island, and to make personal inquiries as to whether any French machi nations were actually in progress. The gentleman naturally asked the Count what progress he had made with his negotiations, and whether the island was to be ceded ? Count Cavouß's answer was— " 2 he -EnTer" of the _French is always pressing me ; hitherto I have held out ! " Precisely what he could have said about Savoy and Nice, till the moment when the master of the half-million sol diers pointed to his arra,. Th e gentleman went and found two committees of annexati on formed. The detective was no other than Sir - int — O BERT PEEL, the committee-former no other than Ae r 7,J r -Fs> , a • '1)N:1 "~~ the senator who had been employed to conduct uni• vernal suffrage in Savoy and Nice One or two things more should be cor sidered. Though England cannot be invaded now, Sardinia might ; and we all know that the naval prepara tions of France have been kept up on the same scale as before. Could it surprise any one if Eng land should be first invaded in Sardinia ; and if GARIBALDI should see some morning, from his rock-island dwelling, a large French fleet steaming into the harbour of Maddalena—the admiration of NELSON—landing a force, erecting works, and—the rest we need not follow. Again, there is Rome. The EMPEROR has told us that he means to have guarantees before he leaves it that the interests which took France there are secure. Obviously he can make that word mean anything he pleases.; and if convenient, it might mean that in Sardinia the French would be able to watch the capital of Italy and its Universal Bishop, to their own satisfaction. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S answer must be regarded as on the whole satisfactory. He declines to fur nish the further papers asked for, which denial we, of course, may interpret as we please, and we do not imagine that we, or our readers, can be far wrong in our conjectures. At present what Lord JOHN RUSSELL says to Europe, through the British House of Commons, is—" With regard to the question of the island of Sardinia, I entirely admit the great importance of that island, and I have stated in despatches and have repeatedly ex pressed in this house observations to the effect that the annexation of the island of Sardinia to France would be a great disturbaEce of territorial power in Europe, and one which would affect the distribu tion of power in the Mediterranean. We must put in the balance the very grave consequences that must follow from any attempt on the part of France to annex the islsnd of Sardinia. It would be not merely a transaction between the Emperor of the FRENCH and the King of SARDINIA, it must put an end at once to any intimate alliance between this country and France. Although I admit that the importance of Sardinia to France would be considerable, it is not my opinion that the Emperor of the FRENCH will attempt to annex that island in the face of the grave consequences which must follow such an act. One intimation, however, made by his lordship will probably have by far the greatest weight as a counter-check ; he does not distrust the EMPEROR'S present peaceful intentions, he seems to think even that he might prefer to remain at peace when his people were eager for war; but he calls on this country to be prepared for such changes of opinion in France. Mr. BRIGHT, we doubt not, will think the following sadly wicked. " The Emperor of FRANCE is very powerful, every one can see his great power, but at the same time we are not perfectly sure but that if it were his in tention, as I believe it is, to preserve the peace of Europe, and remain on the most friendly terms with this country— I am not sure, I cannot rest in perfect confidence in the belief that the state of l i public opinion in France, in the French Chamber, or the French army, might not in the most sudden manner alter his whole policy. I think we should be very unwise if we rested in security that such an event might not happen." We believe Lord JOHN has about hit the precise truth. Louis NAPOLEON desires above all things to transmit a quiet inheritance to his little boy ; he has no personal quarrel with England, rather the contrary ; but France must be purchased for " his dynasty" at any cost ; and if the cost should be the annexation of Sardinia and a quarrel with England, to keep his place for his son would be worth ten great wars. What is the blood of thousands if shed . to keep the NAPOLEONS on the throne of France ? Another discussion in the English Parliament about the wrongs of Poland ! A noble panegyric pronounced by the lips of the venerable ex-Chan cellor Lord BROUGHAM upon the memory of the still more venerable Prince ADAM CZARTORYSKI! An earnest appeal to the sympathies of the House of Peers, and through them of the country generally, in behalf of the outraged nationality of Poland, an appeal addressed to the House and to the country by the brother-in-law of the most chival rous and persevering champion the Polish people ever possessed in these islands, in fact out of the boundary of their own divided territories—the late Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART ! It was consequent upon the motion made in the House of Peers last evening, according to notice, by the Earl of HARROWBY, to the effect—" That an hum ble address be presented to her MAJESTY, for copies or extracts of all correspondence which passed in the years 1831 and 1832 between the Government of Great Britain and those of Russia and , other countries on the subject of Poland"—that there arose the interesting debate which took place yesterday upon this subject, " ever fresh and ever new," in the Upper House of the English Parlia ment. Although nothing further had come of it than the eliciting yet once more of those opinions which have so often previously been heard within the walls of the British Legislature, and which were in several instances never more ably or more strikingly expressed than they were yesterday in the course of this discussion, we should have had reason to rejoice that the motion had been made, and the debate resulting from it had been provoked, by poor Lord DUDLEY STUART'S congenial kinsman, the Earl of HARROWBY. But—beyond all this — the motion itself was eventually put and carried without a division. It was modified entirely, but the modification really amounted to an amendment; the words " and of other nations " being left out. And the motion—thus referring simply and exclu sively to the correspondence between the Russian and the English Government in reference to the events of 1831-18 32 i n regard what once was Poland —upon bei ng put to the House, was carried, and carried carried : almost, one on h e might s h at t 'd, without a division, a ve e r fit n t le. n m g i ne t cont ra hat s o m di e i - cente. It was especially b m ore than ordina r il y direct an d, so to , w i t s h h i o n u t l h d e a thus speak, point blank, refer ence have been made at this moment of the most independent Legislature of a free people in the whole world—and this be it said for two rea sons, reasons of a very p ainful ki nd , immediately to be named, but though almost unnecessary to be specified. Because, that is to say, of the late lament able occurrences which have taken place in Warsaw, to the grief more or less loudly expressed, of all Christendom. And still more recently—because of the death (within this present week) of the most illustrious and venerable of all the exiled princes and patriots of Poland, his Highness the late Prince ADAM CZARTORTSKI. Referring to this eminent cha racter, Lord BROUGHAM observed most impressively last evening—" Born to an immense fortune, he resigned it all in the interests of his country, and was contented to live upon a very moderate income of which he became accidentally possessed. In early life he occupied the highest place in the Go vernment of Russia, and was even at one time prime minister and prime favourite of the erown, but he had never for one hour during all the period that he held that position forgotten his duty and affec tion towards his native country. Afterwards," continued Lord BROUGHAM, " when the events of 1 1830 and 1831 took place he threw himself into the contest, but it unhappily did not succeed, and no- thing was done for the benefit of Poland." In pur suance of these remarks the noble and learned lord further observed that " he ought to add that when Prince CZARTORYSKI lived in Paris he was the firm supporter of Poland, and took an interest in all that related to the welfare of Poland. He was the friend and adviser of all Polish emigrants then settled in France, and in no one particular was his loss to be more lamented than that he advised them soundly and moderately to take such positions as would benefit Poland without giving offence to the country in which they were then domiciled. This eminently accomplished and virtuous man died at a most ma ture age, and to the last his faculties remained un impaired." Within the very week rendered pain fully memorable to the Poles (whether oppressed at home or in exile abroad) by the demise of the NESTOR of that heroic Nationality—it was surely but right and reasonable that the brother-in-law of the most honoured and beloved among Prince ADAM'S Eng lish friends and sympathisers, should recall to the recollection of his peers the wrongs of the Polish people, and the hopes yet cherished by many millions, those heart-born hopes of our yet witnessing the revival of Polish independence. It is true that the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs went so far last evening as to remark, in his official capacity and, consequently; as one speaking in the name of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government, that the Restoration of Polish Inde pendence is no longer, as Lord WoOHOUSE phrased it, " a practical question." But—How long ago is it that European Diplomacy would have pronounced quite as emphatically the same identical opinion in regard to that seemingly no less impracticable question, the question of—ltalian Independence Yet, what is the situation of affairs at this very moment in Italy ? Why, that the Unification of Italy has not only been formally decreed by 23,000,000 freemen, but that it has been already for the most part accomplished ! And not only this, but that there is even now visibly before Europe, recognised by the Chief Powers of Europe in name, style, and title—A " King of Italy !" A designa tion unknown in the history of nations since the subjugation of the European continent by the genius and the arms of the Great NAPOLEON. What has been accomplished within our own time in regard to Italy and the Italians—who shall say may not be accomplished in like manner (in our time) in regard to Poland and the Poles ? Not assuredly—(to the effectual extinction of our hopes in regard to Poland and the Poles)—Lord WODEHOUSE! The sixty six years of noble endurance to which Lord ELLENBOROUGH so eloquently referred last evening, have earned for the sons of the land of SOBIESKY and Xosciusxo a nobler fate than that sketched out for them by our Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that of aiding in increasing the civilisation of Russia, Poland receiv ing, in return, as a sort of bounty from the Czait, institutions more in conformity with those enjoyed in this nineteenth century by the Western nations of Christendom ! The military news which accompanied the PRE. SIDENT'S Message is certainly more important than any which has recently arrived. It appears to in dicate consciousness on the part of the wary General SCOTT of sufficient strength for a real advance. The forward movement commenced on the 2d. A divi sion under General PATTERSON had previously crossed the Potomac, at Williamsport, a place up wards of sixty miles west of Washington, and west also of Harper's Ferry about twenty miles. This division advanced towards Martinsburg, a town about twelve miles south of Williamsport, and there met five regiments of the enemy, besides one of cavalry, amounting, General PATTERSON says, to ten thousand men, whom, after a sharp conflict, they completely routed, driving them iu sueh disorder that knapsacks, canteens, and blankets strewed the line of their flight. The Rebel loss is said to have been sixty; that of the Federalists is stated by the General to be only three. The next day the central body at Washington began its advance. It appears to be about 40,000 strong, the disposable forces at least; 30,000 were advanced as far as to Fairfax Court-house, about the same distance, west by south of Washington, across the Potomac, as Martinsburg is further west. Whether the rebels will fight there we shall probably know by the next arrival. Gen. APCLELLAND with upwards of 20,000 men was reported to be advancing from Ohio through Western Virginia, which has declared for Congress, and even sent Representatives. And Gen. BUTLER, it will be remembered, is below Richmond, the grand object of Federal attack, on the south-east of the Bay of Chesapeake at Fort Monroe. All depends on the strength of the Rebels—they have mustered from all parts to defend Richmond, which they made their capital and the seat of their legislature, ever since Virginia declared for them. Its loss would almost break them up. They have nowhere else anything which can be called an army, and the work before the North would then be a steady advance in force, and a conquest of the small parties which could be brought against them in particular spots. The difficulty would be parallel to ours in India after the fall of Delhi and Lucknow. There would be nowhere force sufficient to meet an army, but in ir any places bands sufficient to give trouble. We may hope, however, that they would not be able or disposed to continue a guerilla or brigand war, which must be maintained by the plunder of their own people. It is hoped, we observe by some, that the slavery I question will settle itself by the advance of the army. It is argued that " the faithful slaves" will certainly not retain their fidelity in sight of an army which is fighting against their oppressors, and that the army cannot convert itself into a slave catching force : indeed, the army has already re ceived a large number of fugitives as " contraband of war," for which view the rebels themselves furnished a pretext by proclaiming their value in war for throwing up entrenchments. Gen. BUTLER has usedthem therefore for that purpose himself. The PRESIDENT'S speech gives quite the other view of his intentions. It may be he is speaking only offi cially. Besides, the Border States are now pretty well in his hands ; and if Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee have, by fighting against him, or by neutrality when they were bound to fight with him, forfeited their rights, Maryland and Delaware can hardly be said to have done so. The PRESIDENT cannot perhaps eas il y declare an abolitio n i s t army, yet such, it i s h e ld by some, it must practically bec ome . W e havere h p i e s a a te rm dly y pointed out that were this the case, the only change would be that the conflict would be cut short by the rebels giving in before the aboli tionist army could reach them, s i nce they would thus save what slaves they had. H appy for North America if the Free States determined to put an end to slavery and rebellion together. To Nut an end to the first would guarantee the Republic against future rebellion for a long time to come. One of the most remarkable retributions in history is in any case now falling upon Virginia—the State which executed the noble JOHN BROWN, of Osso watamie, is now the theatre of a slavery war, and its militia, pompously paraded around his scaffold, have now to flee for their lives before the avenging army. L A EST NEW S. PARIS, JULY 20. The Montteut. of to-clay contains a report of the Minister of Finance on the subscription to the 300,000 Obligations Trentenaires, The report says :—" 4,693,814 bonds have been subscribed for. 128,605 subscriptions are for amounts which cannot be reduced. "'this financial operation is a complete success. The subscription, by the abundance of capital offered and the eagerness of the public to subscribe, has become an imposing manifestation of the financial power of the country, and a proof of the confidence which the Government of the Emperor inspires." Last night a fire broke out in the property rooms of the Grand Opera, and destroyed all the secenery. The loss is considerable. NAPLES, JULY 19. General Cialdini has ordered 15,000 volunteers from the National Guard to be enrolled for mobili- zation. Several Garibaldian officers have accepted ap- pointments. The brigands who were concentrated at Monte cilfone have been beaten. TURIN, JULY 19, EVENING. The Muneipality of Turin have ordered a sere nade and torchlight precession in honour of Count Fleury.

The negotiations for a treaty of commerce between France and Switzerland will not be opened before October next. The Council of the States in its sitting to-day voted 275,000 f. for the construction of military roads. MADRID, JULY 19. The Queen has arrived at Valladolid, and has been warmly received. The daughter of the Duke de Montpensier is ill at San Lucar. Hopes are entertained that the plot of the late insurrection at Loja will be discovered. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have received the following telegram : THE BOMBAY MAILS. The Valetta, with the above mails, reached Malta at 10 p.m. on the 18th, and was to leave for Mar seilles at 3 the next morning. The Ellora was to leave Malta at 8 a.m. on the 19th, and may be expected at Southampton on the 28th inst. The Orissa brought the mail to Suez, arriving there on the 14th inst. FRANCE.

A private letter from Constantinople says : " The Sultan is continuing his visits and inspects everything himself with the greatest care. In his examination of the dockyard he formally declared that his intention was to increase the fleet. 'lt shall be done under protection of your Majesty's shadow !' was the answer, in Oriental style. 'Do not . talk of Majesty and shadow !' said the Sultan, but take notice of one thing, which is, that I am determined to have cannons, ships and sailors, sol diers and muskets.' The Sultan then sent for all the principal functionaries of the Admiralty and questioned them in succession. Having from their replies ascertained the resources of the gockyards, he ordered that the building of two ships of the line should be commenced,and that three others, in course of construction, should be supplied with screws. Everything indicates that the Sultan intends to occupy himself particularly with the navy. He studied nautical matters attentively during the lifetime of his brother, and frequently held con ferences with the best engineers at Constantinople. The other day the Sultan went, without being an nounced, to the Seraskierat, and spent not fewer than seven hours in inspecting the lodgings of the troops, the arms, clothing, etc. He even tasted the food prepared for the men, and said, Is it always as bad as that ?' He then gave orders that the rations should be improved, and declared that he should frequently return to see that his commands were carried out. On the 9th the Sultan, accompanied by the Grand Vizir and Prince Mourad Effendi, his nephew, went to the arms manufactory of Zeitonn Bouillon, and visited it in great detail. All these visits have produced a great effect at Constantinople. The Sultan's simple costume, his energetic manners, his frank and open bearing, his look, which though resolute, is kind, the martial expression of his features, and lastly his physical strength, which is indicated by the broad ness of his shoulders, and which is so great that he could split open the skull of a man by a blow from his fist—all these things excite the enthusiasm of the people so much that they never weary in con templating and applauding their Sovereign. I must add that his Majesty bad always taken great inte rest iu agricultural pursuits, and personally super intended the farm at Kadikuci, which he has now presented to one of his nephews, Musud Effendi, and in doing so, he said, ' I give you this farm in order that you may cultivate it as I did, and that you may see how the poor man can earn his bread !' " POLAND. review of - The Russian G e neral Ouchakov , on passing a according to th e C zas o f Cracow, the following war likethe regiments of Volhynia , addressed , speech to the officers : Gentlem en, — campaign is near at hand. But though Ido not ow for the present when and where you will be summoned, it is not the less my duty to warn you, in order that you may be ready at the first call. Do not waste your time in idle dreams; do the will of the sovereign with submis sion, for th at i s the duty and honour of the soldier. Subversiv e and revolutionary ideas have penetrated among us from foreign countries; they led_AWaY the young men of Warsaw, who, however, received well-mmited chastisement, and they are now ex _ citing even the populations of the empire, and will render necessary measures of extreme vigour. I repeat to you, gentlemen, the formal interdiction to read the Kolokol (the Bell). It is a journal hostile to the Government, and supports principles of dis order and anarchy. The Government is determined that officers shall not read that journal. What lately occurred at Kiew proves that to you; in that town the police and gendarmes arrested all the officers who read that journal in the cafes, and they have been sent to a fortress to await the decision of justice. A letter from Paris states that the Kolokol, a Russian paper published in London, the Czar's favourite reading, and that when some paragraph is likely to draw his attention to some outrageous abuse, the officials are in the habit of setting before his Majesty a forged reprint of the paper, cancel ling the dreaded revelation. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 14th contains an ac count of the reception by the Queen of Sir J. Crampton, the new English Minister at her Court, to present his credentials. The ceremony took place with the customary formalities, and Sir John, who was accompanied by Mr. Edwardes, Secretary of Legation, and Mr. Lawrance and Mr. Brackenbury, Attaches, delivered, as usual upon such occasions, an address, in which he said that the Queen, his Sovereign, had charged him to rene w the expression of her unalterable esteem and consideration for her Majesty and the King, and her wishes for the pros perity of the Spanish nation ; he said, also, that the British Government and people entertained great sympathy for Spain, and he promised to employ all his efforts to promote a good understanding between the two countries. The Queen, in reply, expressed great regard for the Queen of England and esteem for the British nation, and added that she hoped that all questions which might arise be tween Spain and Great Britain would be settled in such a way as to promote their mutual friendship. After leaving the Queen, Sir J. Crampton and the legation were received by the King, and Sir John handed his Majesty an autograph letter from Queen Victoria. The Gazette also contains an account of the reception by the Queen on the same day of Mr. Schurtz, the United States Minister, to present his credentials. He also delivered an address, in which he declared that the President and people of the United States entertained most friendly sentiments for the Queen and the Spanish nation. Her Ma- jesty replied in suitable terms, and afterwards Mr. Schurtz, who was accompanied by Mr. Perry, his Secretary of Legation, had an audience of the King. THE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON. Yesterday evening Lord John Russell forwarded a message to Mr. Sidney Smith, the secretary to the Liberal Registration Association in the City of London, to the effect that it is his intention to.ap pear at Guildhall on Tuesday next, where he will be happy to meet the electors. The muting is called for two o' clock. An influential deputation of electors waited upon the Lord Mayor yesterday at the Mansion-house, and tendered to him a requisition most numerously signed by all classes of the constituency, inviting his lordship to present himself for election. The chief magistrate at once responded to the request, and last evening his lordship issued the subjoined ad dress _ . _ " To the Liverymen and other Electors of the City of London. _ " Gentlemen,—A requisition of a highly flattering cha racter, numerously and influentially signed, having this day been presented to me, inviting me to allow myself to be put in nomination to represent the City in Parliament, I cheer fully respond to such a call. " Having been for so many years before the public I feel that it is not necessary for me to make any statement of my principles or my political opinions. I, however, desire to assure my fellow-citizens that my efforts shall always be so exerted as best to protect the privileges.of this important City, and generally to promote the honour and interests of this great country.—l have the honour to be, your faitbfal servant, " WILLIAM CITBITT. " Mansion-house, July 19." The election will probably take place the week after next. It is said the Liberal party are entering upon the contest with even unwonted spirit, and with a determination to fight the battle to its legiti mate conclusion.

At Tarnow, however, a few days ago, some Jewesses, leaning on the arms of their male friends, boldly presented themselves at the synagogue in the pro scribed garment. But a number of low Jews, arming them selves with sticks and knives, drove them away, and com pelled them to seek refug,3 in the adjacent house. Several persons, fearing the women would be injured, placed them selves before the house. A fierce conflict ensued, an d blood was shed on both sides, but nobody was killed. The police did not interim, LA IV INTELLIGENCE—(JItN Day). PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-JULY 19. ROYAL ATLANTIC MAIL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Petition of George O'Malley.

SIR,—My attention has just been called to the London Review of the 13th inst., wherein it appears that at least one other observer has remarked the alteration in the curve of the comet's tail and its double curvature, to which I alluded in my letter of the 6th, It seems now to be generally admitted that the earth passed through the tail ; but, without in the least doubting that fact, I may be permitted to question whether it was the cause of the great brightening of the northern sky on the night of Sunday, June 30, as has been suggested. The tail was certainly not directed towards the earth at that time ; and if the brightness should be ascribed to any comehry matter left behind in our atmosphere, which it was capable of illuminating after the tail had passed away, then it might be objected that the effect ought to be visible over the entire sky, and not confined to the apparent neigh bourhood of the comet. The dimmed sunlight of Sunday evening, observed in some localities, has been attributed to the same cause; but it must be remembered that a comet's tail does not obscure even the stars, which, in fact, shone with increased bril liancy through that of the comet of '5B. No doubt, the observations were interesting, and are worthy of study ; but to refer to the comet's tail, a dark ness in the day, and a brightness in the night—phenomena which thus reminds us of a celebrated miracle of the EXODUS—may show, perhaps, a too hasty conclusion in our present state of knowledge. There is, I should say, no reason why those different effects should not have proceeded from simple atmospheric causes, unrelated to each other and to the comet, though concurrent with the appearance of the latter. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN BIRMINGHAM Cecil-street, Strand, July 19. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Lady Geral dine Somerset and Captain Cust, have left the Duchess's residence at the Ambassador's Court, St. James's Palace, for Baden-Baden. The Duchess of Hamilton has placed tier enatesu aL bll I.n.i.t.atcoo o uloptmat curing her Royal Highness's sojourn at that watering-place. The Right Hon. the Speaker will give his cus tomary dinner on Wednesday next to the 'principal officers of the House of Commons at the New Palace, Westminster —the usual prelude to the close of the session. The Earl and Couutess of Derby leave town in a fsw days for Knowsley-park, near Prescott, for the season. Lord HERBERT.—Accounts have been received in town from Spa of the safe arrival of Lord Herbert. His lordship had experienced no fatigue by his journey, and felt somewhat stronger. Should his lordship improve in health, he will remain some weeks with Lady Herbert at Spa. THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.—A telegram was re ceived yesterday morning by the relatives of the Bishop of a more favourable tenour, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. COMETS.—The present comet has puzzled a few of our savants, who predict its appearance as something ominous. The first comet was noted by Nicephorus, whose splendour eclipsed the noonday sun, and occupied a fourth of the heavens, 135 A.C., a remarkable one seen in England in the reign of Edward the Third, 1337. Tycho Brahe ex plained their return, 1577; one visible from November 3d, 1679, to March 9th, 1680 ; orbits proved by Newton to be parabolical, 1704 ; a brilliant one, 1769 ; one more bril liant still, September, October, November, 1811; another appeared, February 28, 1823. Biela's Comet, so called from its discoverer, an Austrian officer, February 28, 1826 , one of three whose re - appe arance had been pre dicted, it having a revolution of six years and thirty-eight weeks ; its second appearance was in 1832, when the date of its perihelion was November 27. Its third appearance was in 1839, and its fourth in 1845. Encke's comet, discovered November 26, 1818, by Mr. Pons, named after Professor Encke for his ascertaining its orbit. It has appeared ac cording to the law predicted, its revolution being three years and fifteen weeks. Halley's comet is also called the Great comet; he proved that this comet of 1682, was the same which had appeared in 1456, 1531, and 1607. He then was the first to fix the identity of comets. Halley's has a revo lution of seventy six years. It appeared in 1369, and was at its perihelion, March 23. It appeared again, 1835. There is a map of the stars extant in the Royal Library, Paris, which gives the stars 600 years before Christ, and contains 1,460 stars correctly laid down.—Bra. THE SECOND FETE AT CREMORNE GARDENS.— For the second fete at Cremorne Gardens on Wednesday next, we understand that tickets may be obtained without the preliminary necessity of securing vouchers, in order that the funds for the charity may be enlarged by the ad mission of those who may be desirous of aiding in a work of benevolence, but who are not personally known to any of the distinguished ladies who kindly undertook the troublesome office of ladies patronesses. That the oppor tunity will be extensively appreciated we do not doubt, from the numerous applications for tickets on the last occasion, which we understand were unavoidably refused in the absence of the necessary vouchers. A series of amuse ments at an early hour will again be organised for the younger branches of families, for whom family tickets, ad mitting children at half the general charge of admission, are to be issued. A large attendance, in consequence of this arrangement, is expected, and the interests of charity will be proportionately benefitted. We omitted to remark in our notice yesterday of the aristocratic fete, that the elegant plate, the beautiful furniture, and the costly deco rations of the ladies patronesses' private room and of the supping saloons, which were so much admired on this oc casion, were kindly supplied by Messrs. Hancock, of Bru ton-street; Messrs. Druce, of Baker-steet ; Messrs. Amott and Gale, and Messrs. Copeland, of Bond-street; the rare plants and shrubs wore obligingly lent by Mr. Bull and Mr. Vietch. THE POTATO DlSEASE.—Complaints with regard to the reappearance of the potato disease continue to be made in Lincolnshire. In places where the land is damp or shaded by trees it is said to be making rapid ravages. In Norfolk, Suffolk, or Cambridgeshire few complaints are, however, put forward on the subject, although thepotatoes are sat and watery in too many cases when brought to table.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancello r Sir John Stuart directing common accounts to be taken with general inquiries, and ordering the appellant to pay two-thirds of four class of costs incurred on seven objections in the administrative suit under the will of the late n• Hasley. The plaintiff objected to the sale of several houses in Plymouth by the trustees, and contended, instead of a decree for a common account, there should have been a de cree for wilful neglect and default. The Vice-Chancellor held, on inquiry, that there was", foundation whatever for the o r i g i na l com pl a i n t s , but alloWe n the plaintiff his costs of inquiry. Mr. Malins, Q.C., was heard for the:appellant, and 111 ' Craig, Q.C., for the respondent. The Lord Chancellor disallowed the costs of inquiry oc - • casioned by the eleventh and twelfth paragraphs in t he plaintiff's bill, imputing fraudulent conduct to the defers' dant in the sale of the houses in question, and directed by the twelfth paragraph in the decree to be paid by th e defendant to the plaintiff ; the rest of the plaintiff:o costs in the suit to be taxed as between party and party, 10 " stead of solicitor and client, and reversed so much of tbe order, on further consideration as is inconsistent with this declaration and direction.

IN RE BARKER—ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE LEATIaIt TRADE. This bankrupt was described as of Gravesend, No t ' Grays, Essex, and Enfield, Middlesex, currier, and to-dap was appointed for proof of debts and choice of assignees. In consequence of the business having been carried onli places so far apart, Messrs. Wilki nson , St evens on, 11116 Wilkinson, of Nicholas-lane, and Mr. Shurland, of Graves* end, represented the creditors ; Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, Basinghall-street, being the accountant s ' From their preliminary statement it appears that the debts due to creditors are about £2,150 ; to ditto holding security/ £2,530, Creditors, by good debts, £298; property in th e hands of assignees, £510; ditto, in the hands of creditorth £2,000. The complication of affairs resulting from the heavy failures in the leather trade appears to have been tho cause of the bankruptcy. Assignees were chosen and will be duly gazetted. • IN RE PEEFANI. This bankrupt was described as a sail maker in ill° Minories, and came up for his certificate. The account by Mr. Thomas Gresham shows debtors £584. To creditor/I holding security, £2BB. By good debts £66, doubtful £3 property £270, but as the assets in hand bear a fair propor tion to the debts, it may be calculated that a largo addition will be made in consequence of the assignees disputing claims to the extent of £1,102. A second class certificate was granted. IN RE PHEBEY. This bankrupt had carried on business, as dealer in hare* in Bridewell-place, New North-road, and came up for his certificate. The accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers S Hayles, showed debts £B3B, property £122, but there were exceptional matters for assets, and his Honour granted 0 11 immediate certificate of the second class.
