LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1858. Saragossa has at length surrendered to the Spanish Government. General DULCE m Ide his entrance on Friday, in due form. The conspiracy against the Constitution was too completely orga nised, in the first instance, to permit any reason able prospect of success to those who were goaded into demonstrations on behalf of their abrogated liberties. The spasmodic resistance offered to the arbitrary proceedings, was suppressed in the most sanguinary and inhuman manner. Not only was " war to the knife" proclaimed against those who arrayed themselves beneath the banner of the Constitutiorf—not only was quarter refused to all who appeared] in the streets, but the scaffold was glutted with political victims, whose lives were made the stepping-stores of the unscrupu lous O'DONNELL to official rank and emolument. The coup d'etat (we use the term advisedly, notwithstanding /the arguments of the Govern ment scribe in the ILlfoniteur) has thus far been successful. But how long will it remain so ? The time-honoured adage tells us that, "finis coronat opus," and it will be well to wait for the results, before the reactionaries can chaunt exult ing paeans at their temporary triumph. One of the most extraordinary and significant circumstances connected with the affair is, that the betrayer of the Liberal cause—the unscrupu lous shedder of the blood of the Liberals— seems to calculate on the support of the progres istas to sustain him in the position which he has achieved. He well knows that he is not loved by the Court—that NARVAEZ is the favourite in that quarter, and that he will bo recalled the moment that the "instrument" can be dispensed with. ISABELLA " may love the treason, but she bates the traitor." She cannot forget the humili ation which she sustained but two short years ago at his hands, and will ba desirous of avenging it at the earliest opportunity. A prudent cautionlhas been given on high autho rity, to "place no faith in princes," and certainly Queen ISABELLA cannot be cited as an exception to the rule. No one is more tho roughly satisfied on this point than the present Minister of Spain. He is, therefore, already bidding for the support of those whom he has so basely betrayed, whose friends and relatives he has so cruelly butchered. Without them he can- not stand. His game is to play the Court a n d the people alternately the one against the other. Mindful of his Hibernian origin, he may think that he can easily conciliate those with whom he has been fighting but the day before. But he may find that his calculations have been made a leetle too fine, and that none will be willing to adopt the cause of the double-dyed traitor who hag betrayed all parties in turn, and on whose Professions, however earnest, no confidence can be rep ose d. It is asserted, and with much appearance of truth, that he is now holding out the promise of a " perfect constitution,"—o ne that will satisfy all parties, from the most thorough -paced Abso lutist to the enthusiastic and uncompromising Liberal. This almost miraculous achievement of human wisdom is not to be submitted to the Cortes or any constituted assembly. The late body has been dismissed at the point of the bayonet, and it is not quite convenient to permit the meeting of any successors. Everything is to depend on the wisioni and patriotism of Marshal O'DONNELL. He demands unlimited confidence, and seems to think that he can draw to any amount on public credulity. We doubt, however, whether his credit stands quite so highly as he appears to think—whether w hat he proposes will be accepted without consideration or re monstrance. We have witnessed too many attempts, and the worthlessness of the quasi constitutional bantlings of despotism have been too frequently and too clearly demonstrated to permit us to pin our faith on any promises, however plausible, or pledges of even the most solemn character. Besides, he himself has shown us how easily such a Constitution may be set aside whenever its operation may become inconvenient to the predominant power. It cannot possess the elements of stability being altogether one-sided. To have the slightest chance of permanency it must be the result of mature consideration be tween co-ordinate bodies in which the interests cf all are fairly represented, so that there may be several parties to the solemn contract. At present there maybe inapparent tranquillity, but it is ana logous to that produced by those "who made a desert and called it peace." One of the most ominous symptoms connected with the untoward event, which seems to show that O'DONNELL is not relying solely on his own strength to overcome the difficulty which he has created, is the movement of a large body of French troops towards the frontier. The Cour rier de la Gironde announces the passage of numerous battalions en route for Bayonne. This menacing demonstration is palpably directed against any effort of the Constitutionalists, and seems to show that O'DONNELL had promises of more powerful support than could be offered by any section of Spanish politicians before he entered on his daring attempt. It is with deep regret that we are compelled to direct public attention, and to point out the dangers to Eurc pean freedom from the uncontrolled spirit cf " Imperialism," which is now becoming as ram pant as that of Germanism. We fear that the Imperial and Princely conferences have not been very auspicious for constitutional liberty in any part of the world, where an interference may be attempted with any prospect of success. We must, at least, see that Great Britain be not subjected to any such interference. Against that every nerve will be strained to the utmost ; and it is essential that the Government for the time being shall at any cost resist the establish ment of a precedent that may be acted on against England. The people of the United Kingdom will, however, know how to defend themselves against the machinations of Czar or Kaiser, Em peror or Prince, and woe be to those who unduly hasten the rapidly-approaching contest between the conflicting principles of Liberty and o! Despotism ! Considerable stress is laid by the Messrs. RENDEL and Simpsorr, in their Report on the pro ject of another new bridge at Westminster, upon the fact of the bridge at that site being " the only free bridge above Blackfriars !" And no wonder ! No wonder, we say, that stress is laid particularly upon this very notable circumstance —a circumstance, we cannot but think, unparal leled for absurdity even amidst the throng of all the monstrous absurdities resulting from our seemingly systematic mismanagement of every thing in the shape of metropolitan projects of im provement. Westminster Bridge the only free bridge above Blackfriars ! It is a thing worth remembering. It is a grievance which, although notorious fur years past, is still to this very day scarcely conceiv able. Between Blackfriars and Westminster not one single free bridge, so that the interme diate traffic, in striving to evade the tolls of Wa terloo and Hungerford, is driven to the necessity of a monstrous detour either eastward or westward, as the case may be, to a most extravagant expen diture of time, and to the blocking up of some of our most important thoroughfares. Yet, remem bering all this, it is still perversely and prepos terously proposed that the new bridge shall be erected upon the old site—the unstable site which has swallowed up so much already. Without the glimmering of a hint as to the erection of any other free bridge lower down the river, with a view to the simultaneous advantage of the people of Surrey and Middlesex ! Obvi- ously the first most advisable improvement of our metropolis iu regard to the throwing open of fresh facilities for traffic across the Thames, would be the purchase of the tolled bridges from their re spective companies by our Government ! That is infallibly what would be first thought of, and first acted upon, in any similar instance, by the French Government ! Instead of everlastingly grumbling, and hesitating, and humming, and hahing over the evil as it is—that is precisely what would be done at one stroke of a despot's pen. Another fortnight scarcely would be allowed to elapse (supposing them to be suddenly conjured over from London to Paris) before South wark bridge, and Waterloo-bridge, and Hungerford bridge would be opened from that time forth in perpetuity without the chance of their echoing any more at either extremity to the sordid jingle of so many miserable halfpence. The immediate expenditure would be immense, of course, but the advantages resulting from that expenditure would at the same time be scarcely in any way at all calculable. What we really appear to want just now in regard to our metropolitan improvements—" not to put too fine a point upon it," as Mr. SNAGSBY would say—is the inauguration of a dictatorship of un limited power, but of limited duration, at the head of the Public Works Department. .Then we might hope to get rid at last of any further tolls at Southwark, Waterloo, and Hun gerford Bridges—we might hope to gee Middle row swept away frcm Holborn and Holywell street from the Strand—we might hope to have the Thames purified, St. Paul's opened up to the River, and the access to London by the Silent Highway rendered permanently magnificent b a series of grand and solid parallel embankments ! Among the amiable and certainly very pardon able weaknesses, if it be a weakness, of human nature, is the desire most men experience who have won distinction, to be especially honoured in the pl ace of their nat i v i ty. H i gh as the i r ambitio n may have soared, and great as may have been its success, nothing, in all probability, in the shape of reward is more acceptable to such men—is anticipated with greater pride :Ind satis faction than the plaudits of those who axe associ ated with their earliest recollections. Perhaps it is wrong to describe as a weakness that which in the nature of things must be an incentive to noble deeds, quite as powerful as others which are gene rally founnd placed in the most prominent part of the category. Be this as it may, our readers, we doubt not, like ourselves, have been pleased to observe how generally this desire has been gra tified in the case of those gallant officers who most signally distinguished themselves in th e Crimea. The fact is honourable to both parties, to those who have gratified the desire in question as well as those who have most deservedly hac,l. it gratified, and hardly in any case more honourable than in that of Major-General WINDHAM, "the hero of the Redan." How nobly the gallant General acquitted him-' self in the final and most disastrous assault of the stronghold with which his name will long be asso ciated it is altogether needless to recount. This much, however, may be remarked, the fame and position he has acquired were fairly and gallantly won, and amply justified the grand banquet given in his honour, and the pre sentation made to him the other day at Norwich. Where there was much failure, that man certainly was deserving of high praise and of warm grati tude who did his duty, and did it nobly. Had any justification been wanting for the honour done him by the people of his county, his speech at the banquet, we fancy the reader will agree with us in thinking, would have more than supplied it. The tone of it was as manly as the valour that gave rise to it, and the generosity as great as the self-devotion that plucked him from obscurity. The hero of the day's rejoicings, far from being engrossed with the mouthing of his own claims to honour and popular gratitude, expended in the true spirit of chivalry his best eloquence in pre ferring the claims of others. He himself had done his duty and been fortunate in an oppor tunity to earn special distinction ; but many brave and able men had equally done their duty, and would have won as much fame as himself had they been equally fortunate. This was the burden of his remarks. We don't think, and the public won't think, any worse of him for it —no, not though it be admitted that in the main he spoke the truth. There were many brave men in the Crimea who served their country as ably as they served it heartily, and who, had occasion presented itself, would have earned distinction, in all probability, of a high order. It is, however, what has been rather than what might have been achieved the country is grateful for. Applying, still, a severer test, the presumption, it must be ad mitted, is strongly in favour of such men as General WLNDHAM, who prove themselves as generous in the triumph as they have proved themselves heroic in the field. While, therefore, we would not consign to oblivion valour and en durance but partially known and acknowledged, in order to swell the fame of more fortunate sol diers, we feel a double pleasure in responding to the claims of such men as " the hero of the Redan," who, however much he may owe to acci dent, owes, or is likely to owe, still more to a fine chivalrous nature. Holding him in such esteem, it becomes an obligation to warn him of a danger to which he is at present exposed. Let him beware of being enmeshed by " the system !" A NELSON only could break through its folds and escape unhurt from its deadly influences. THE MINISERY.—Lord Palmerston, Mr. V. Smith, and Sir G. Lewis continue in London.

He married a few years since Lady Amelia Cast, second daughter of the late Earl Brownlow, by his second marriage with Lady ' Emma Sophia, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Mount Edgecumbe. By his union with that lady he leaves isme two youthful daughters. Several noble families are placed in mourning by the mournful event, - THE i..IIJ'N„ LONDON, MON DA V IVIVEi4-E-N6r, AUGUST 4. 1A56. NEW MUSIC. A young composer has suddenly sprung up who bids fair to rival the most successful writers of the present day. In his very popular song ; " The Village Blacksmith," Mr. Weiss has not only veri fied his fame as the first English basso of the day, but be has also established himself as a most for midable rival to our first-rate English composers Balt . ° and Wallace. His melodies are always catching, although elegant and full of energy and expression, affording to the singer an opportunity of displaying intense feeling and abandon, and furnishing the pianist with a graceful and scientific arsompaniment. In the two new publications now before us, all that we have advanced is fully exem plified. "Let me be near thee," the poetry by Carpenter, is a ballad capable of the most in tense tenderness and expression, and has been done full justice to, by the young maestro's charming cara sposa, Madame Weiss, who woa the admiration of her audience by her artistic rendering of this sweetest of ballads on the night of Miss Huddart's benefit. "Bold Robin the Archer," also by Carpenter, is a song in quite a different style—bold, manly, and joyous; its quaint originality reminds us of the jovial songs of old. It will soon find its way rot only to public con vivial circles, where it will tell immensely, but also to the humble but hospitable board. We hope ere long that the continued success of this popular young maestro may induce him to bring out his charming opera, " The Slave of Camnens," several morceaux of which have already been so successful at public concerts. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The operatic season closed at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening in a manner that proved that though fashion bade the final fall of the curtain at the close of the London "year," it was not through any diminution of at traction or exhaustion of talent. The opera was "La Traviata," in which Mdlle. Piccolomini excited the enthu siasm of her audience, despite the Indian climate that pre vailed in the theatre, as warmly as on the first occasion that she presented " Violetta" on the Haymarket boards. At the close of the opera she was compelled to reappear, when her admirers almost overwhelmed her with plaudits and posies. Between The acts of the opera a ballet diver tissement was introduced, in which Madllo. Katrina and M. Vaudris sustained the chief parts. The grand ballet of the " Corsaire" closed the entertainments. Between the opera and the ballet the National Anthem was performed by the company, the solo parts being taken by Madlle. Piccolomini, Maddle. Finoli, and Signori Calzolari; Bel letti, and Beneventano. The Queen's box was occupied, on this occasion, by Gen. Bouverie, Mrs. Bouverie, Mr. P. Bouverie, the Misses Cole, Miss Price, Mr. A. Buckley. Among the fashion ables who honoured the performance with their presence were the following :—The Duke and Duchess of Welling ton, and Lady Julia Hay, the Duchess of Richmond, Lord A. Lennox, the Duke of Cleveland, and Lady A. Paulet, the Earl of Hard wicke, the Marquis de Neva, the Mar quis Terry de Nerli, Earl Sandwich, the Count de Berke, the Dowager Countess of Harrington, the Countess Bel lew, the Countess Dysart, the Countess Blantyre, the Countess Flahault, and the Hon.

Kay, and Captain Lester. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. own. The Lyceum Italian Opera Company closed on Saturday evening with "La Favorita." The cast, wo need hardly say, was that which so long rendered Donizetti's opera a favourite iu nature as in name at Covent-garden, Grisi being the erring and severely-punished Leonora, and Mario the chivalrous Fernando. The house was exceedingly full and loudly demonstrative in its expressions of approbation. The opera was followed by "God Savo the Queen," Ma dame Grisi taking the first and last solo verses. The sea son, considering the unpropitious circumstances under which it originated and has been carried on, has been a brilliant one, and reflects the highest credit on the spirited entrepreneur. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—About a quarter past twelve o'clock on Saturday night, a man named Cambridge threw himself off the bridge in the York -road (Maiden. lane), into the Regent's Canal. An alarm was instantly given by some witnesses, and a boat was quickly at the spot, but not before the unfortunate man had sunk, after having, apparently, made some desperate struggles to recover himself. After the lapse of upwards of an hour the body was found by Police-constable 206 S. Mr. G. Pickess, surgeon, of 13, Caledonian-place, was soon after in attendance, but life was of course extinct. rile police subsequently conveyed the body upon a stretcher to the dead-house of St. Pancras, there to await a coroner's inquest. Rumours are rife 'as to the cause which prompted the commission of the rash act, but, pending an inquest, it would be imprudent to give them publicity. Deceased resided at 32, Sidney-street, Caledonian-road, and had been absent from home on the previous night. OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Lord Chancellor has appointel Mr. E. J. Cobby to the vacant clerkship in the Registrar's office. The Lord Chancellor has, under the provisions of the County Courts Act of last session, appointed Mr. Serjeant Manning, Mr. Koe, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Worlledge, and Mr. Ferner, five of the judges of the County Court,, a standing committee for the fram ing of rules of practice and for regulating the costs of attorneys in these courts, and has appointed Mr. Henry Nicol their secretary. Mr. Serjeant Dowling, member of the late committee, under 15 and 16 Vict., c. 54, being abroad for his health, and the duties of the coin mittee requiring to be commenced immediately, could not be appointed a member of the present committee. Mr. James Beeby is appointed chief clerk ; Mr. Oliver H: Davie, first class clerk, first section ; Mr. Charles Spence, first class clerk, second section ; Mr. Henry Butler, acting first class clerk ; Mr. G. H. Johnson , second class clerk, in the Accountant-General's Depart ment of the Admiralty, Somerset House. JENNY LIND'S GAINS.—A. London correspondent of ,the Manchester Guardian says The friends of Madame Jenny Lind have been computing how much she has amassed during the present season. Madame Lind has thus, lam assured, netted a sum of eighty thousand pounds during her farewell. London and pro vincial season_ The only musician whose concerts at all approached those of Jenny Lind, in point of popu larity and profit, was Paganini. The great Italian violinist made 15,0001. in one short season. The mid dlemen stepped in between the public and the singer, and have netted thoesands of pounds , by buying up wholesale the tickets, and retailing them to the public at prices varying according to the demand. After - the . music-houses had bought up the tickets, the public pre sented themselves pretty early in the morning, as they thought, at Mr. Mitchell's, and were told the tickets were all sold. John Bull grumbled loudly at being re, ferred to the middlemen, and said he did not mind how much profit the artiste made, but said he did not see why he should pay Cramer and Beale three guineas for a ticket which Mr. Mitchell professed to sell for one guinea. But grumbling was useless. The sums made by the music ships may be conceived when I state that seven and eight guineas were paid. for tickets to some of Madame Lind's farewell concerts. I think I shall be within the mark if I assert that the sum paid by the public for the privilege of hearing the Lind during the season just terminated is little short of 200,0001." THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE TORRINGTON BURIAL BOARD.—It will be probably recollected that shortly before the prorogation of Parliament the conduct of the Bishop of Exeter, with reference to the noq-cdn. secretion of the Torrington burial ground, was brought under the consideration of the House of Lords by the Earl of Portsmouth. The burial ground has been pro vided, in accordance with the provisions of the late. acts of Parliament to abolish intramural burials, and' is:pro perly fenced and protected against trespassers. The Bishop of Exeter refuses to consecrate that part intended for the members of the established church, on the ground that one end--that which comes close to the dissente'rs, although the whole ground is surrounded with a high substantial wall—is open, and that the burial ground is not fenced according to the canons, and under that technical objection, without any regard to the altered times and circumstances, his lordship refuses to conse crate that portion of it. A few days since the bishop's secretary informed the burial board that the bishop would consecrate the ground in accordance with the re port of the select committee of the House of Lords on the Burial Act, and dated the 4th ult., recommending a railing as a line of demarcation, but the board, with one dissentient, declined the terms, and prefer waiting till next session in the hopes that an effectual and gene ral alteration will be made in the law, rendering the con sent of the bishops as to the finished state of the ground before consecration unnecessary.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing despatch from the French Consul to the Mini ster of Foreign Affairs : " St. Sebastian, Aug. 2, 5 a.m. " Yesterday at noon the troops of the Queen entered Saragossa without the slightest resistance. " The greatest tranquillity reigns in the town. " The National Guard has been disarmed, and the deputation and ayuntamiento have been changed." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. On landing at Marseilles Marshal Pelissier found a letter from the Emperor, announcing to bim that his Majesty confers on him the title of Duke. General Falcon, who commanded at Saragossa, before the capitulation, has arrived, with a num ber of his friends, at the frontiers of France. The Spanish Government will increase the num ber of the regular army by 12,000 men. Despatches this evening say the whole of Spain continues to be tranquil. The present advisers of the Queen of Spain have declared to the Government of the Emperor of the French that it is not the intention of her Majesty or O'Donnell to change the fundamental form of government at Madrid. O'Donnell is now em ployed in endeavouring to incorporate the moderate men of all parties in the interests of Government. A private letter, dated Madrid, declares the Queen to be very unpopular, and the army by no means unanimous in its support of O'Donnell. whose downfall ere long is declared to be inevitable. According to a letter from St. Petersburg, in the -Konigsberg Gazette, the Count de.Morny is to be received with extraordinary honours. Orders have been given that on his arrival at Cronstadt he is to be saluted with 303 guns, and the two bridges on the Neva are to be opened, in order that the stea mer may convey him close to the Quai on which the Palace, which he has taken, is situated. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, July 30.—An opportunity has pre sented itself of learning the opinion expressed by an experienced German diplomatist in respect to the meetinc , of the Monarchs at Teplitz, and it is —that nothing of political importance is likely to take place, "as the King of Prussia is a man whose resolution may change half-a dozen times in the course of four-and-twenty hours. The Emperor will again be in Laxenburg before the week is at an end, although he intends to inspect the fortress of Theresienstadt, which is on the road from Teplitz to Prague. When Prince Esterhazy left Vienna for Russia he feared that his reception would not be a very cordial one, but his friends in this city re late that ho has met with the very greatest attention from Prince Gortschakoff and the other high dignitaries in Russian Poland. On his arrival at Warsaw, the Hungarian magnate, who belongs to the Austro-Russian clique, was received by Prince Gortschakoff in person, and by him invited to take possession of a suite of apart ments in the Imperial Palace. We have not yet learned how long the Austrian Ambassador-Extra ordinary intends to remain in the Polish capital, but he will probably p iss a few days there before he starts for St. Petersburg, as he is on the wrong side of 70, and is not a young man of his age. RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia, with a view to his coro nation, has decided that the effective strength of his private staff shall comprise 91 aides-do-camp, being general officers, and 124 aides-de-camp of his suite. Ia the former class are included two grand dukes, 13 generals of infantry, 13 of ca valry, 4 of artillery, 3 admirals, 35 lieutenant generals, 2 vice-admirals, and 19 major-generals. The aides-de-camp and orderlyC officers of his suite are composed of 40 major-generals, 3 rear-admi rals, 49 colonels, 3 captains of the navy of the first class, 3 lieutenant-colonels, 4 captains of the navy, 2d class, 2 captain-lieutenants, 6 captains of corvette, 9 captains, 4 lieutenants, and 1 cornet. General Count Adlerberg has been named adju tant-general to the Emperor's staff. The Gazette of the Uerman, Empire contains a letter from Berlin of the 29th ult., which says : " The Czar will immediately after his coronation appoint his younger brother, the Grand Duke Michael, to the vice-royalty of Poland, instead of his brother Nicholas, whom he wishes to retain at court. The marriage of the former with the Prin cess of Baden is to be first celebrated at Carlsruhe in December, by proxy, after which the princess will immediately repair to St. Petersburg, where the regular marriage will be solemnised during the Christmas holidays." ITALY. TURIN, July 29.—The latest intelligence from the scene of the recent attempt at insurrection in the Lunigiana represents everything as perfectly quiet, and therefore this movement, which would be simply ridiculous if it were not also unhappily mischievous, may now be considered at an end. The troops have now returned to their quarters; with the exception of one company of Bersaglieri, which remains on the frontier near Ortonovo. The. Sardinian Government has received information from Massa and Carrara that tranquillity is per fleetly re-established in the Modenese territory. . From Parma we learn that Count Crenneville was about to leave, for a time at least. His friends there said he was only going on leave to some watering place, but as the Corriere Raliano and other" German papers have already reported his ap proaching promotion and removal from his- present command, it is very possible that his departure will be final—" for good," as they say—and that he has only been left so long in order not to give his re moval the appearance of a recall on the demand of the Duchess. General Count Stakelberg has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court by the Em peror of Russia, and is shortly expected here. Baron Hubner, who is now travelling in Italy, is expected, it is said, to visit Naples in a few days. FIRE IN WIIITECTIAPEL ROAD.—This morning, about 20 minutes to two o'clock, a fire broke out on the pre mises of Mr. Moses, 24G, Whitechapl-road. The pre mises wore left in charge of Mr. Moses' servant, Daniel M'Carthy, his wife, and infant. The firs-escape was in stantly obtained by policeman 82 H, attended by its keeper, Samuel Wood, to whose prompt and timely aid the three individuals above-mentioned owe their lives, for M`Carthy was totally insensible, and had - to be car ried down the fire-escape on the back of Wood. The fire was not subdued until the premises and stock had received considerable damage. AN INTERESTING RELIC.-Mr. Joseph Calvert, of P.rcyhill, Bolton (near Wigton), has at present a family bible, in good order, printed in the year 1574 . It is in the black or old English letter. Its preface bears the signature of Archbishop Cranmer, every line of which breathes forth that truly Christian piety which aloup could enable him to suffer the torture of the flames with the meekness and fortitude which he displayed iu death, AMERICA LIVERPOOL, AUG. 3. The Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Neil Shannon commander, arrived this morning from New York with advices to the 23d ult., and 1,122,050 dole. in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Persia, hence, arrived at New York at 7 a.m. on the 23d ult. . Large mass conventions have been held in the West in favour of Mr. Fremont for President. There has also been a Whig meeting in Boston in favour of the same nominee. There is an attempt at a coalition in Pennsylvania between the friends of Mr. Fillmore and the friends of Mr. Fremont, which may give that State to the Republicans. The Senate has passed the Fortification Bill, re ducing the amount to 1,800,000 dols : have voted to adjourn on the 18th of August, and are still oc cupied with the Harbour Improvement Bill. The House has also agreed to adjourn on the 18th of August. Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, challenged Mr. ' Burlingaine, of Massachusetts, for language in his speech on the Sumner assault. Mr. Burlingaine accepted to fight with rifles in Canada at 50 paces, but Mr. Brooks refuses to go there. Mr. Brooks has been arrested. Mr. Burlingaine is out of the district. The State Convention of the Executive Committee of United Americans have nominated Mr. Fillmore for the Presidency. The news from the Belize is to the 29th ultimo. Emigrants from the United States were arriving there. It is not true that the State Department are in the receipt of despatches announcing a pro bable settlement of the Central American question by Mr. Dallas. The Government deny that $6,000,000 have been offered to President Comonfort for a cession of land in Mexico, but it is supposed that secret in structions have gone out, nevertheless, for a pur chase of territory with reference to a railroad to California ; the report on this supposed road will .be submitted to Congress this week. Walker has no minister at Washington at present ; Rivas is recognised there as the President de facto of Nic aragua. The non-arrival of the Persia had made all the markets dull ; money was buoyant ; large amounts offered on loan at 6 per cent. ; quotatious on the Stock Exchange a trifle higher. The prices of breadstuffs have been fluctuating during the week owing to the hot weather. The ad vices from Ha vannah are to the 10th of July. 750 slaves from lAfrica had been landed near that city ; there had been also a number of coolies landed. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 2. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Capt. Bradshaw, with the Peninsular mails, in charge of Lieut. Oxenham, R.N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from Gibraltar, July 24 ; Cadiz, 25 ; Lisbon 29 ; Oporto and Vigo, 30. The Madrid brings 40 passengers, and on freight 12 packages of specie, valve 3,7 321 ., and a cargo consisting of 293 boxes of lemons, 13 boxes of to motoes, 4 casks of wine, 90 elephants' tusks, and 27 packages of merch Ludise. On the Ist inst., in lat. 47 29 N., long. 6 32 W., the Madrid passed the brig Muta, of Ipswich, steering S.W. The French ship Prince Jerome was the only foreign vessel of war at Lisbon when the Madrid left. The steamer arrived on the 28th ult. from Liverpool, with fire in the forehold. The Lisbon exchanges were quoted, for three months', at 53 on London; Paris 524; Amsterdam 43,} ; Hamburg 482 and Genoa, :522. The supply of bills still continued inadequate to the demand, consequent upon the increased importation of grain, &c., and diminution of exports, consequent upon grape disease and bad harvests of all kinds. Stocks continued to advance, and few holders would sell at 411 to 442 for Three per Cents. ; Bank of Portugal Shares, 490 to 495 milreis per share ex dividend; Oporto Bank Shares 19 to 20 per cent. premium. The following is extracted from a Lisbon letter of the 29th ult. : " Immediately after closing the Cortes the King, King Regent, and Royal family took up their abo,le at Cintra, which is justly considered the most delightful summer residence in this neighbourhood. It is also compara tively healthy at this season of the year, and I am told by friends who came thence this morning that there is no truth in the reports which have led to the belief that cholera had been making great ravages there. " In Lisbon 414 cholera deaths are reported during► the last ten days, but I question whether one-half were really cholera cases, and, from personal knowledge of the circumstances attending the death of a number of my own acquaintance, I am convinced that all of them brought on the disease by inattention to diet, neglect of slight derangements of the stomach, and by imprudent exposure to chill from draughts and cold baths. Mr. J. E. Borges de Souza, one of our most respected Portu guese merchants, brought on his attack and sudden death by taking a cold bath while suff!ring from severe indigestion. From all the information I have been able to collect it would appear that cholera has not here at tacked houses which are regulated with prudence and immediate attention to complaints of the bowels, &c. " Since the approval of the arrangement for quoting Portuguese bonds upon the London Stock Exchange they have continued to improve in price, and the Go vernment finds additional facilities for its Treasury opera• Cow. At Oporto, also, the Commercial Bank has agreed to lend the Minister of Finance 200 contos, or about 45,0001., to be repaid by the Customs' revenue during the year 1856-57. " The Government is busy preparing the instructions for the electoral process, but has nut yet given signs of any intention to take active measures in favour of any particular class of candidates. The Progresista party alone has appointed an electoral committee, composed of M. Fontes and other partisans of the last and present Cabinets, and it is supposed the Govern ment will ultimately favour many of the candidates pro posed by that committee, in which case the new Cham ber of Deputies will bear much the same character as the last." _ _ Our intelligence from Gibraltar is tothe 24th ult. The United States' steam-frigate Susquehanna ar rived at that port on the 23eult. in 16 days from Key West and six from Fayal. This steamer was recently despatched from Philadelphia to Central America to inquire into certain grievances alleged by the master of an American vessel to have been committed by Capt. Tarleton, of her Britannic Ma jesty's frigate Eurydice, on the American mail steamer Orizaba. On proceeding to Greytown Commodore Paulding, of the Gulf Squadron, who was specially sent by the Secretary of the Navy, became fully convinced that things had been mis represented. The Commodore's flag was saluted by Capt. Tarleton, and the kindest feelings pre vailed among the officers and men of both vessels. After exchanging the usual civilities the Susque hanna departed for Key West, whence, replenish ing her stock of coal, she was ordered to proceed to the Mediterranean station, and is now under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief at Gibraltar. In a day or two the steam-frigate would leave for Spezzia (Sardinia), touching at some of the ports on the eastern coast of Spain. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

BRUTAL ASSAULT.—Taco women, one named M'Cartlty and the other Stack, were this morning placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with violently assaulting Mary Callaghan. The complainant, who appeared in a very weak state from loss of blood, stated that at about nine o'clock on Saturday evening she was passing up Orange•court, St. Giles's, when M'Carthy, who was looking out of a win dow, said, "Here's the - coming," and immediately she received a violent blow from a large earthenware jug on the forehead, which felled her to the ground. The younger prisoner, the daughter of M'Carthy, then ran into the court, and as she (the defendant) was raising herself from the ground, she seized her by the hair of her head, and commenced beating it against the wall of the court. Such was the violence with which she was attacked that in a few moments she fell to the ground insensible. Some friends came to her assistance, and after getting her away from the younger prisoner, who continued striking and kicking her, proceeded with her to the station-house, where she charged the two prisoners with the assault. Stephen Bryan stated that at about nine o'clock on Saturday evening he was in Orange•court, and saw the elder prisoner, Wearthy, throw a large piece of an earthenware pitcher from the window of the house in which she resided, which struck the complainant on the head, and she immediately fell to the ground. 110 then saw Stack run out of the house and seize the woman, and commence beating her head against the wall with great violence ; and as he was getting the complainant away from Stack, he saw her put M'Carthis finger into her mouth and bite it violently. Police sergeant 2 F stated when the complainant came to the station-house, she was bleeding copiously from a large wound in the forehead. In answer to the charge the prisoners said the eom' plainant and her witness were the parties most in fault, and that Bryan was still under recognisances to keep the peace. Constable Tickner informed the magistrate that on Saturday last M'Carthy, who had obtained a warrant against Bryan, appeared at this Court, and at the ter• mination of the hearing it was dismissed. This cireum• stance gave rise to a regular Irish row in Orange-court, and in consequence of the violent behaviour of the two prisoners towards Bryan and M'Cartby, 11' Henry directed him to prooeed to Orange-court, and to caution the prisoners against using threatening language• On seeing the prisoners, and informing them of big message, the elder one said, "Only let me see any of them, and they'll either have a hatchet or cleaver, or something of the scrt." Mr. Hall said that what he had just heard from the constable was the key to the whole affair. It was clear that in consequence of the summons having been dis• missed from want of evidence, the prisoners had become very much incensed against the complainant. It wag clear that the assault bad been premeditated, and be should therefore fine each of the prisoners 41., or in default of payment, convict them for 7 weeks' imprisonment. The prisoners were locked up. JACK ASHORE.—A seaman, named Kennely, wa g charged with being found drunk, and incapable of talc' ing care of himself in the neighbourhood of the Strand on Saturday night. The police constable said, on searching the sailor at the station house, he found upon him four 51. notes. Mr. Hall—Well, what have you to say ? Where did you come from ? Jack—l was paid off on Saturday, at Sheerness, foa l H.M. Ship Terrible, and I Has going to Liverpool, but I sha'nt go there if I can get anything to do in London. Mr. Hall—You bad better go to Liverpool. If you stop in London you'll get drunk and loose all your money —but you must be careful when you get to Liverpool, for you will find thieves there. I will do all I can tosave your money for you; a constable shall accony pany you to the railway station and there deliver your money to you. Have you any friends in London to whom I can send I Jack—Yes, I've a friend a merchant in St. Giles's. Mr. Hall—That's a wide direction to find a person; but as you don't seem disposed to accept my offer, I shall order the money to be returned to you. I W . done all I can to save it for you. You are di" charged. Jack, having thanked the magistrate, turned on bi ° heel and left the court. MANSION HOUSE. STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Joseph, Cole, remanaei for stealing a gold watch, value 71., from the person ° L a young man named Henry Martin, on the Custom-hell ° Quay, was again placed at the bar before Sir W. Car den for further examination. The particulars of the case were published at the 0 3° in 1 7 11. e. Sun. Police-constable 581 said he had made inquires at / 0. rious pawn shops, but he had been unable to trace th e watch. He did not expect to find it. The prisoner' when apprehended, gave a wrong address. Police-constable 129 stated that he had the prise e i e . r . in charge in 1853, for robbing a lady o f her purse, l e ' which offence he was sent to Holloway for three mont ba ' He then gave a false address. The prisoner assured the alderman he was innocent of this charge, as he was of the one in 1853, and that be was then sent to prison in mistake. Sir W. Carden said it was rather extraordinary for a ° innocent man to be twice punished. He, however, h e ' lieved him guilty of this charge, and againt sent him to prison for three months. THE WALPOLE ISLANDERS IN TROUBLE. —Mr. Tele, 6 f Eversholt-street, Camden-town, Mr. Hornibrook , the London City Mission, and another gentleman, wai t° on the Lord Mayor with six of the Walpole Islande r ' who have lately been exhibiting in the metropolis, his advice and assistance. The grotesque dressing these men caused much attraction, and the justice-ru°'- was densely crowded. The chief of the tribe wore the medal presented to his father by George 111. Mr. Tele said that the Indians bad been staying c i w him for a considerable period, baying been ~hrought him by the speculator who induced them to cons° 1 7 this country. He was now owed between 91. and for their lodging and maintenance, but he was wi h° to get it, the speculator not being to be found. si e , Indians were, in consequence of the conduct Of t :, person referred to, in great distress, and for some day s had lodged and supported them, for which he shou ld make no charge. The inhabitants of the neighbour; hood had been very kind to the Indians. They wig° to be sent home. In reply to a question from the Lord Mayor, o ne I P the Indians, who spoke English, and acted as W er : preter, said it was their desire to return home to Wale' . Hand, which he believed was a British pess essioP There were 6 men and 4 women. Mr. Hornibrook said he believed they could be tith e° to New York for about 6/. each. Mr. Tele said the men and women were still a t 131: house, which was not a common lodging-house, an d b could not afford to continue to support them. The Lord' Mayor—How much do they cost a day Mr. Tele—From 18s. to 20e. The Lord Mayor said the men and women were in sad state. There was the union for them so long as t b , e ." s remained in the country. He would, however, see w is . h ' could be done for sending them to th e i r h o mes, and be thought the best way to do it was by an appeal to t a public. It was too bad a speculation, when they tb i lo an exhibition did not answer, to leave individuals, u e - this instance, destitute. After some further remarks, arrangements were O p for their temporary relief. CUTTING IN Two AND LENGTHENING. FRIGATSO/0 Orders have been received at the Royal Dockyar r d t be PewGroke for the cutting in two and lengthening 0 1. 0 0 first•class frigates Immortalite and Melpomene. i rlyi two frigates have been on the stocks for a considerstri. time, and are nearly completed ; but being sailing 're gates the Admiralty have kept them back for alt e os tions, which will be immediately carried out.
