As to the dividend, it must be recollected that this was a dividend on account, and if it wire less this half year, it would be worth more at the annual meeting, and there the matter woul•l be more properly and effectually discussed., Mr. NORTON protested against the practice of not cir culating the report among- the sharaboldeas before tEe day of meeting. Unless he received some exelanati - n from the directors, he should move a resolution to the effect that the repent should be circulated among the eharehelders at least three days previous to a meeting. Mr. HADOW, at the request of the Chairman repeated what had occurred-at tho former meeting, at which he had promised the subject should receive the censidera tion of the directors, and he had redeemed that pledge by raising the question. The result was, that the Board were of opinion that ; there was not sufficient reason to depart from the course which had been pursued since the formation of the eempany. The reports were not demanded under the deed of settlement; and they gene rally merited no discussion ; but if any special matter arose, notice must be given as to any motion connected with it before the next meeting. After a long conversation, in which Mr. Dent, Mr. Lewin, and Mr. Norto❑ severally took part, it was agreed that the matter should again receive the consi deration of the directors.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday a special meeting of the board was held in the Council-chamber, Guildhall, to dispose of the business left over from the last board-day. Mr. J. Thwaites pre sided. A long discussion took place on a motion by Mr. Howe, that the finance committee should ascertain from the Government whether they were willing to advance a sum from the Consolidated Fund to aid in securing Eampetead-heath as a place of public recreation. Ulti mately an amendment, by Mr. H. L. Taylor, acknow ledging the great advantages which would accrue to the northern suburb of the metropolis by the preservation of Hampstead-heath as a place of public recreation, but de clining to en t erta i n t h e quest i on , as beyond the limit of powers co n f erre d on the b oar l b y t h e Metropolis Local Management A c t, was a d opte d b y 20 vo tes against 10.- Mr. Ware then moved a resolution referring to the com mittee of works and improvements the expediency of open ing a thoroughfa re or ma ki ng anew street i n as direct a line as practicabl e , f rom the end of Old-street, St . Luke's, to the new street from Fart ingdon.street to Clerkenwell. The motion was carried by a majority of 12. It was' re ferred to the Finance Committee to prepare an estimate of the sums which ought to be charged for defraying the ex penses of the board, having regard to the annual value of the property in the several parts- of the metropolis, preparatory to making the necessary calls upon the pa• rishes. Mr. Hows moved, and Mr. D'lffanger seconded, the following resolution : 7 " That the Finance Commit tee be instructed to inquire and report upon the most practicable method of throwing open Southwark and WaterLio-bridges to the public for the purpose of reliev ing the prest nt exces.tve traffic over London -bridge, and 01 Equalising that of the Other thoroughfares of the me tropolis."—Agreed to. A motion by Major Lyon, that the Bank of London be required to find a larger security than 55,000/. for the moneys, &c., of the board, having been negatived, the board adjourned at five o'clock. CAPTAIN BAGUE.—We regret to announce the death of this officer and companion of Nelson. Captain Bagne_Peryed at the Battle of Trafalzar, awl Previously inmgaszetntnts with otbey captai n g. He. bad been for many years a magistrate and deputy lieutenant for 'the county of Middlesex. " In the last ann , ial report the directors announced the desp'atch of the Nubia for India, and they are now enabled to state that she has made her first trip from Calcutta to Suez at a very high rate of epeed, and to the satisfaction of a largo bo ,y of passengers. The intended departure of the Alma, which was noticed at the same time, was how ever deferred, it having become necessary to employ this ship for a short time on the home station. She is now on the point of starting for Calcutta, and will no doubt prove as successful as her kister ship. ". THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. " Five of your shipg, the Simla, Candia, Ripon, Co lombo, and Rajah are still retained iu the transport ser vice. Their employment in that service must, however, ill consequence of the peace, terminate in a short time, wheu,they will be made available for the commercial and postal operations for which they were originally destined. "THE AUSTRALIAN POSTAL SERVICE. " In their last report the directors stated that they had, at the request of the Government, submitted a proposal to establish a monthly postal communication with Austra lia. No measure to carry that proposal into effect was, however, adopted by the Government ' • and in the month of February last the Admiralty issued an advertisement, inviting tenders from parties willing to contract for the establishment of such a communication, leaving the choice of route open to the parties tendering. In responding to this public announcement, your directors considered they coati do no more than refer to their former proposal ; and it appears by a statement made in Parliament that none of the the tenders then made were of such a nature as the Government considered it right to accept. " Pressing representations by parties interested in the colonies having been again made to the Government, urg ing the prompt establishment of an efficient postal com munication, au advertisement has within these few days been issued by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for tenders to establish a monthly postal communication, by means of lam screw-steam-ships of full power, between Suez and Australia, b touching at Point de Galls, both on the outward and homy a and passage, and to be independent of the postal communication with India. The tenders are to be lodged on the 12th inst. " The anticipated early release from the transport ser vice of the ships still remaining in it will place this com pany in a position to undertake the Australian postal ser vice on the enlarged plan now proposed ; while the posses sion at the various stations along the whole line of com munication of completely formed agencies and coaling esta blishments, gives to the company important advantages in competing for it. The directors, therefore, propose to lodge tenders for executing the service, on such terms as they may consider compatible with a fair protection of your interests. " If it should devolve upon this company to undertake this service, its establishment must, in consequence of the class of vessels stipulated for, and from other circum stances, be attended at the outset with very heavy ex penses; and a considerable time will probably elapse be fore a remunerative traffic can be developed. Hence the prudence of the measure which you adopted, on the re commendation of your directors, at the last general meet ing, of setting aside out of last year's profits 100,0001. as a ' contingency fund,' to meet this and other anticipated extra expenses connected with the change of employment of your vessels, will be fully evident. " VACANCY IN THE AUDITORSHIP. " Your directors regret to announce that in consequence of observations made by some proprietors at the last general meeting, Mr. R. Currie, M.P., desired at once to be re lieved from the duties of an auditor of the company, and although the directors explained to him that they did not concur in the remarks alluded to, namely, that his occupy in.. the post of chairman of another company formed any objection to his retaining his post of auditor to this com pany, they were unable to induce him to withdraw his resignation. You will, therefore, be called upon at a spe cial meeting, which will be held immediately on the con clusion of this, to elect an audf:.or from among the quali fied shareholders to fill the vacancy which has just occurred. ) 41* °;i l • ba•-` aet!' to 31' 16' 6 ' l I° s 7 4 7 _ 44 13 0 A 132 " 534 53% .• , P r . 0 0 , 9 .3 17 • 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 roil 0 0 ___-------.. yrnel clao . . id d P n. l'• — • :.........„, JO , 4 June i 6 June i• tlnuerr ru.T ll • 5ll June 4 rwic.

"Your directors are happy to ..state, that up to the period of closing this report the earnings of the ships have been satisfactory, and that no casualties of importance have occurred to your fleet ; they, therefore, recommend that a dividend of 3,; per cent., clear of income tax, for the half-year ending 31st March last, be now declared, and he payable on and after the 26th instant." The CHAIRMAN said the meeting was aware that they were met simply to hear what had been the operations of the company since last they met, and to declare what amount should be divided on ac count of dividend ; therefore his observations on the report would be very brief. Gentlemen would observe that two of their vessels had been taken out of their service ; but these had been replaced by two vessels of a larger character. And here he might observe that the company was never in a stronger position than u now was as to finances and credit, which would enable them to undertake any engagement, so long as the di rectors took care that any engagement they might enter into should pay. Five of their vessels were now en gaged in the transport service, from which he presumed they would shortly be relieved. Two of these ships, which were new at the time, were seized upon by the Government as soon as they came into the company's hands from the builders. They had been remuneratively employed ; but, as the old adage van, " It is not all gold that glitters." These vessels had much more wear and to r than they would have sustained had they been em ployed in the corn pany's'own service. Thus their splendid accommodation for first.class passengers had been to a considerable extent destroyed. Two of these.ships had their decks destroyed by conveying hundreds of thou sands of horses, with no planks to be had to pro tect the decks from the feet of the horses. As to the Australian postage service, that being a matter which was under tender, it would be a mere waste of time to allude to it further. A PROPRIETOR asked whether the directors would un dertake the contract ? The CHAlRMAN—Certainly, if it paid. (Hear.) With tbese observations he now begged leave to move that the report be received, adopted, and circulated among the shareholders. Mr. MANSELL said he bad much pleasure in seconding the motion. From whatever point he looked at it, whe ther as the means of depositing savings or as an invest. ment permanently, he could not but regard this corpora tion and its proceedings with great satisfaction. With the railway of India it was regarded as a great national institution, because it was the most important link in connecting this country with Hindostan. Looking at the amount of dividend proposed, in connection with the bonus given last year, he thought the company were run. ning a career of great mercantile prosperity. It was, indeed, most satisfactory to think of the aid which this company had given to the Government in the Levant (iring two years. They bad not only discharged their duty in postal and passenger communication with India, and maintaining the sympathy between the mother country and the colonies, but they bad lent the most efficient aid to the Government in carrying on the war with Russia. This aid was given at a season, too, when there was a general complaint of neglect and inefd cieney on the part of the executive. It was a proud con sideration, moreover, that the British Government could rely immediately upon one-sixth of the resources of this company in the event of a war. As to the question of the election of an auditor, be felt convinced that the efficiency of a joint-stock company mainly depended on the auditors, and upon their responsibility. Mr. LEWIN inquired whether the directors proposed to pay the expense of repairing their ships now engaged in the transport and other services by the creation of new shares, or by the capital in hand ? • The CHAIRMAN supposed they would make calls upon the shareholders, if necessary, rather than issue new share.. 2. Mr. LEwIN said that all were agreed that the affairs of this company were much better conducted than those of the Government were. Their ships had gained the apPlaire, be might say, of the world. A few days ago on ly a gentleman had called upon him who spoke of the Nubia, and assured him that nothing could exceed the order and hospitality which distinvuislied that goodly vessel. But it happened that every time the shareholders came to these meetings they heard much of their extra ordinary prosperity, but they never heard of increased dividends. When coals were very dear they had no divi- ' dend ; another time they had a very small one ; but that evil did not now exist, coals were much cheaper. He could not see, if they were able to lay by 100,0001., why a portion of that sum might not be divided among the shareholder& It was useless to make large profits it they were not to be distributed in the way of dividends. HE. tLought he had a' right to complain that with such enormous profits there was no increase of dividend. Mr, DENT asked what was the amount of their capital RAILWAY 1N T EGLI GB NO E. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, to receive the result of the poll on the question of electing 10 new directors; Lieut.- Colonelßushout, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN was about to commence the proceedings by reaping the reports of the scrutineers, when Mi . . BIGGAR interrupted him by asking whether the amount of At9Ck of the company which had been pawned to the public in various w a ys h a d been v o t e d u p on in tak ing the poll ? The CHAuurirr replied that, in accordance with the report of one of the scrutineers, it appeared that it had been voted upon. Mr. BIGGAR contended that all such votes were vitiated, and ought not to be allowed ; but, as it appeared that the result could not affect the actual results, he would make no motion on the subject, as there was a large majority in favour of those at the head of the list. Mr. J. PARSONS said it was - quite certain that the pawned stock had been vcted upon, but they must con sider that the Great Western Railway Company had also voted in respect of 180,0001. stock which they held in the company, not being satisfied with that amount of stock being represented by six Great Western directors at the board. If the Great Western had consented to forego voting on that stock, the pawned stock of the company would not have been voted upon, and for his own part he would much rather the matter had been decidvi without that stock having been represented. The CHAIRMAN then read the reports of Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Jackson, the scrutineers. The report of Mr. Green wood excluded the stock which had been pawned belonging to the company, and disallowed the votes given in respect thereof. It stated that 755 proprietors, representing 1,973,7301. stock, voted on the occasion, and that there were 9,253 votes in favour of Mr. Pakington, 8,578 in favour of Mr. Highfield, 8,322 for Mr. Busby, 8,287 for Mr. Fen ton' 8,236 for Mr. J o h nson, 7 , 965 f or M r. J. Parson, 7,965 for Mr. Lewis, 7,903 for Mr. Mellor, 7,846 for Mr. Watkin, 4,313 for Col. Rushont, 3,378 for Mr. Thorp, 3,318 for Mr. Taunton, 3,210 for Mr. Baker, 2,572 for M. Capel, 2,626 for Mr. Grisewood, 2,190 for Mr. Cox, 242 for Mr. Maude, 136 for Sir S. M. Peto, 157 for Mr. C. Whetham, 115 for Mr. Brewin, 57 for Mr. Oliveira, 51 for Mr. Tucker, and none for Mr. Whiteside. The report of Mr. Jackson, the other scrutineer, included the votes given in respect of the company's stock held in pawn, the names of the parties b e i ng recor d e d i n the share register of the company. From this report it appeared that 9,836 votes were given in favour of Mr. Pakington, 9,163 in favour of Mr. Highfield, 9,025 for Mr. Busby, 8,890 for Mr. Fenton, 8,779 for Mr. Johnson, 8,562 f or M r . J. Par son, 8,509 or Mr. Anderson, 8,508 for Mr. Lewis, 8,446 for Mr. Mellor, 8,389 for Mr. Watkin, 4,391 for Colonel Rushont, 3,438 for Mr. Thorp, 3,378 for Mr. Taunton, 3,270 for Mr. S. Baker, 2,632 for Mr. Capel, 2,626 for Mr. Grisowood. 2,190 for Mr. Cox, 302 for Mr. Iktadde ' 186 for Sir S. M. Peto, 157 for Mr. Whetham, , 15 for Mr. Brewin, 57 for Mr. Oliveira, and 51 for Mr. Tacker. The total stock voted upon by 110 proprietors present, amounted to 553,975/. ; and by 648 proprietors by proxy, 1,696,4101. ; total, 2,250,3351. It was explained. that Mr. Busby had consented to re main in the direction until Sir S. M. Peto could transfer an outstanding contract with the company to some other responsible person, so as to enable him to comply with the request of a large number of proprietors by taking a seat at the board. At the time of voting it was understood that those who voted for Mr. Busby were in favour of the election of Sir S. M. Pato. The board then retired to an adjoining room for the pur pose of electing the new directors in the room of those re tiring from the board. This arrangement was in accord ance with the pledge given by the directors to the com mittee of investigation. The formalities having been gone through, The CHAIRMAN announced that Mr. Watkin, Mr. Mel lor, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Busby, M r . Hi g h f i eld, Mr. John son, Mr. Lewis, r. Pakington, and Mr. J. Parson had been elected directors of the company. There was, how ever, a legal question as to the re-election of himself ; it was necessary that, he should be re-elected in order to enable him to resign his seat at the board. The adjourned half-yearly meeting was then held for the purpose of re-electing Coleuel Rushout and Mr. Highfield, the retiring directors, and also the retiring auditor, Mr. Cohen. On th• motion baing put, the retiring directors were re elected. The CHAIRIIIN stated that he would formally resign his seat, and Mr. Fenton, of Rochdale, would be elected in his place, which would complete the number of directors. Mr. Highfield had been elected one of the directors of the new board. The only other business was - that of the .elec tion of auditor. lie proposed that Mr. Cohen, the re tiring auditor, be re-elected. Mr. MALINs seconded the motion. Mr. DAVIS proposed, as an amendment, that Mr. Jack son be elected in the room of Mr. Cohen. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which a show of hands was taken, when there appeared 24 in favour of Mr. Cohen, and 11 in favour of Mr. Jackson. Mr. Dews demanded a poll. After some observations from Mr. Watkin, Mr. Taun ton, fir. Malias, Mr. J. M. Parsons, and Mr. J. Parson, Mr. JACKSON declined to contest the matter, and Mr. Davis withdrew his demand for a poll. Mr. FENTON then moved a resolution authorising the directors to transfer the outstanding contract from Sir S. M. Peto to another responsible contractor, with a view to secure the valuable services of Sir S. M. Peto at the board. Mr. MAUDE secynded the motion. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Watkin, Mr. Fenton, Mr. Cox, Mr. J. Parson, Mr. J. M. Parsons, and other proprietors took part, in the course of which the advan tages of the proposition were urged and admitted. It ap peared to be the general opinion that there was no occa sion to pass the resolution, as the matter should be left in the hands of the new board. On the motion of Mr. DAVIS it was agreed to pay the expenses incurred by the committee of inquiry out of the funds of the company. On the motion of Sir M. PETO, seconded by Mr. PAK INGTON, a cordial'vote of thanks was passed to the Chair man on his retirement from the board, for his valuable services to the company. Mr. J. M. PARSONS, eecondel by Mr. DAVIS, moved a vote of thanks to Sir S. M. Pete and the other members of the committee of inquiry, for their very able report on the affairs of the company. The motion was carried unanimously, and the proceed ings terminated. WEST HARTLEPOOL. The adjourned general meting of this railway and har bour company was held on Tuesday at West Hartlepool. The accounts showed that the amount at credit of re venue for the year ending December, 1855, was 146,9521., as compared with the sum of 130,773/, for the year 1854. The different items from which the above total is produced are as foll ow : —C oa l traffic, 85,1391. ; passengers and parcels, 11,154/. ; merchandise, 25,422 /. ; ships' dues, 20,763 ; rents, 2,611/, ; balance from last year's revenue, 1,860/. The working expenses for the year 1855 were 66,2731,, or 45 per cent. ; taxation, 1,8181. ; interest on debentures and convertible stock, 35,1861., leaving a ba lance of 43,6751., out of which, after satisfying all fixed claims, th e directors, in March last, remitted the second half-yearly dividend at the rate of 41 per centum per annum upon the company's consolidated stock, carry ing over a surplus of 3,2681. to the reserve fund. Of the capital account, amounting to 1,994,6661., the accounts for the year 1 , '55 show that there has been expended the sum of 1,761,708%, leaving a balance to credit of 229,957/. With respect to the termination of hostilities with Russia, the report adverts to the beneficial effects likely to result to the company therefrom. With the opening of the Baltic ports a carrying trade by the company's steamers has been commenced, the first boat (the Gitana) having sailed three weeks ago. It was their intention to run a boat between West Hartlepool and St. Petersburg once a fortnight. The quantity of coals shipped and conveyed during the previous year amounted to 1,196,238 tons, being an increase of nearly 200,000 tons over the year 1851. The recent establishment of steam communication between West Hartlepool and Hamburg had been productive of a most encouraging result. The declared customs' value of merchandise goods (exclusive of coal) exported foreign from West Hartlepool in the year 1855 amounted to 782 ,739/., being an increase of 515,0301. over the year 1854. The number of ships entering the docks continues steadily to increase, the number entering last year being 4,816. The ten years' contract for the repairing, maintenance, and working of the company's locomotives having terminated, the whole of the establishment will in future be curried on under the management of the compan y. The desir ability of providing the neceeearY buil • an d maiiing , what imd -, 0 1 ,1'...iiid-in. , titer-boetus-Anti--dootinsents of the., company, they believed that James Sadleir and John Sad leir conspired together to defraud them with regard to those shares, and to entrap them into becoming sharehol ders. It appeared iu the course of the proceedings that for the meeting of December, 1851, a balance-sheet had been prepared, setting forth the accounts of the bank for' the precetheg year; that this was prepared with state tn eats which were totally incorrect, for the purpose of laying before the meeting a flourishing =count of the concern ; that at a subsequent period, when John Sadleir was about getting the shares transferred or sold to the English share holders, he got prepared another balance-sheet, giving a still more flourishing account of the same p er i o d, and in which it appeared that the paid-up capital of the company was 100,0001., instead of 40,0001. as it actually was, and that the net profits for the half-year had actually been only 4,0001. odd. "Mr. Lawless handed in the original document from which the balance-sheet was prepared, in the handwriting of John Sadleir, and it appeared from the affidavit of Mr. Kelly that that document was banded to him (Kelly) with instructions to have the fraudulent balance-sheet prepared, as set out in the document; it was afterwards so prepared, and shown to the English creditors. "The Master of the Rolls said that, although it would be necessary for him to consider the case very fully before he delivered his judgment, as his order would affect pro perty to the amount of 50,0001., he considered it just to the public to make some statement with regard to the case. (It was here intimated to his Honour that the order would affect a much larger amount.) His Honour con tinued to say that the property affected could not be more, because the shareholders could not, under the Winding-up Act, be charged beyond the amount of their shares, and the call of 4;1. now made would be th e f u ll amoun t of the power given under the act, but the liability of the members of the company to the creditors in another court was quite a different question. He should carefully consider all the bearings of the case, because, although the Irish share holders might have bean guilty of some neglect in not looking after the affairs of the company, many of them were partly innocent. The transactions of the directors and the parties were tainted with the most extraordingry fraud, and it seemed strange to him that the Irish Government had not taken any notice of the case. If the Government overlooked the facts that appeared upon the case, he considered that they would be guilty of very great dereliction of duty to the public. His Ho nour then referred to a judgment of Lord Campbell in 2d House of Lords Cases, in which his lordship laid down the law in such cases to be, that if the directors of a company, by fictitious means, fraudulently raised the price of shares in the market by declaring a divi dend upon the capital, when in fact there were no profits out of which to pay such dividend, they were guilty of the greatest fraud, and would be answerable for it, not only civilly but criminally, as for a conspiracy to defraud the public, and such offence would amount to a misdemeanour. This view was entirely concurred in by Lord Brougham and several of the other judges in England. His Honour also said that the official manager had only discharged his duty to the Irish shareholders, and ho had not any hesita tion in saying,whatever opinion he might ultimately form, that he was not only justified but called upon to place the English shareholders on the list of contributories. He had acted perfectly right, bat was bound, of course, as the shareholders appeared by counsel and solicitor, to repre sent the Irish shareholders, which he had properly done. He had no reason to complain of his conduct. A document in the handwriting of John Sadleir had been handed up to him. That was a most important document in the history of the case ; he wished it to be verified and endorsed as the document which had been given to the Court as the hand writing of John Sadleir. His Honour intimated that he would consider his judgment, and require from the official manager all the documents necessary to enable him to ar rive at a just conclusion ' • he would not name any day for giving his judgment, but would give it certainly some day during the present sittings. " Mr. Meldon informed his Honour that a dividend would fall due, and it was important, on that i ,,account, that his Honour's judgment should be given. " The Master of the Rolls said that no dividend. could or should be enforced against any of the English shareholders until his judgment was pronounced." GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. The three Crown Solicitorships on the north western circuit are finally disposed of, and the selec tion of the parties appointed appears to have given —what rarely happens nowadays—general satis faction. The new officials are Mr. E. Geale, brother-in-law of Earl Fortescue ; Mr. Thos. Fitz gerald, brother of the Irish Attorney-General ; and Mr. W. H. M‘Grath, son-in-law of Mr. C. O'Brien, one of the members for the county of Clare. The salary of each is fixed at 8001. a year. Apropos of Government patronage, the Kilkenny Journal ancounces the appointment of Mr. M. Banim, Brother of the late John Banim, the Irish novelist, to the postmastership of Kilkenny. The brothers were joint authors of the celebrated Tales of the 0' liara Family —a work which must always hold a high place in the annals of fiction. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. The estates of the late Mr. Richard Maxwell Fox, M.P., situate in the county of Longford and city of Dublin, were put up for sale yesterday. Nine lots only were disposed of publicly, it beiug understood that the remainder h a d b een p urc h ase d by private contract. The amount realised by the public sale was about 14,0001. PROGRESS OF TRANQUILLITY. A Dublin paper notices a gratifying fact, as showing the peaceable% and orderly state of the northern Irish counties, that on the 26th of May last there were not in either of the gaols of Drog heda, Dundalk, Monaghan, or Antrim a single pri soner for trial at the ensuing assizes to be held for the north-east circuit, while in one of the two re maining towns on that circuit—viz., Armagh and Downpatrick—there was but one solitary prisoner iu "durance vile,"and in the other town but five. Such circumstances have probably not occurred for very many years. DR. GUTHRIE ON THE " OLoalEs.."—They had a great many things taught in the schools now—physiology, philology, craniology, geology ; and what the better was a girl for it all when she became a tradesman's wife ? She could not darn her stocking, she could not bake her bread, she could not boil a potato, she could not light the fire. He had often said, when he saw a servant making two or three attempts to light a fire—" My good friend, let me try and do it for you." He did not, he would have them remember, despise those ologie3 ; but be was for stitohology, bakeology, and boilology. (Great laughter.) THE Bounsons.—lt is curious to trace the influence exercised by oriental customs on those of Western Europe, more particularly now that the rapprochement between the two hemispheres is so much greater than formerly. This influence or sympathy is, indeed, analo gous to that of revolutions as they transpire among the peoples of the globe. America may even react on Europe, as was actually the case during the revolution in France. In like manner, though more superficially, Algiers and Georgia have tended to orientalise England ; the Bedouin on the one hand, and the Caucasian moun taineer on the other, having directed our tastes (mare particularly in dress) into new channels. Yet who could have foreseen that the costume of the Sons of the Des'ert, the wandering Bedouin, cr the indomitable Cir cassian would be adopted by the ladies of France and England ! Such, however, is the fact. The graceful B4urnous bids fair entirely to supersede, among the haute volee, every other description of cloak for evening dress, the promenade, or the opera. Here, then, is a complete revolution over the habits of the past ten years. Would not the Arab chiefs, when they excited so vivid a sensation in Europe about two years since, have been wholl incredulous that they were destined to become the leaders of the Fashion in the countries they visited ! With a view to confirm these observations, it is well worth while to visit the Sponsalia, 246, Regent street, opposite Hanover-chapel, where the Messrs. Jay have on show some exquisite specimens of the Bournous. This appendage is showy, yet chaste; extremely light, without any sacrifice of comfort • ample and most grace fat in its folds and its fall over the figure, and may ba worn in three different ways. It supersedes the shawl wholly ; has an apparent hood ; is embroidered or plain, in cashmere or cloth ; may be made extremely rich or delicately sober in colour to suit varieties of taste ; and is, in brief, though moderate in price, a thoroughly distingui,she and beautiful article of attire.— Of (ening CitrOni*. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 4. The 'Atlantic has_arrived with advices from New York to the 24th ult. She brings 212,080 dollars. The Washington correspondent of tae New York Herald writes on the 23d.": " Mr. Marcy is, now engaged in drawing up a reply to Lord Clareedon's last despatch, and it will be forwarded to Ml. Dallas at - the swore time that Mr. Crampton receives his passports. Mr. Mane , Will show that Lord Clarendon's special' pleading has only aggravated the offence. In Lord Clarendon's despatch the ground is takenthat the witnesses against, Mr. Crampton are persons of -worthless character, while, on the other hand, Mr. Crampton' said the three British consuls, all honourable men, pledged their word that they are innocent of the charge made against them. The fat is, however, that Mr. Crampton'e complicity in the offence rests upon a different basis from that suggested by Lord Clarendon, and which seems to'have escaped that gentleman's observatione It is based.upon Mr. Crampten's own a !missions, as, contained in a letter written by him and produ6ed at the Hertz trial: This is the document which has convicted Mr. Crampton, and not the testimony of his confederates; and the pledge of his' honour, now tendered to show his innocence in the feat) of these facts, renders his further iesidence heie perisopally obnoxious. The theory upon which the President excuses himself for not having I.ing since dlimissed Mr. Cranipton.is that, when the corre s eondence was at first opened with the British Government, was not known that he Was heiplieated to the extent it af torwaels appeared, but, having commencede. correspondence upon the subject, it was ceuerary to diplomatic etiquette and the relations eXisting between thi! two ceuntries to act upon the additionil evidence prodiced except by presenting itin the correspondence, and demanding Mr. Crampton's recall. That demand being now refused, nothing further remains but to Sum up the evidence, and hand the Minister his passports. Madnocorrespondence taken place previ oe sly to Mr. Crampt on's letter (that produced at the Hertz trial); he would have been dismissed without going through the formality of demanding his 'recall by his own Government. " I am sufficiently wail advised to ate4nce the fact "tat, while ourelillovernrnent ffio. friendly . feeling- which is expressed by Lord Clarendon in. nis des pstch it will be shown that the interest of both nations wilt he best promoted by the appointment of a .stioceisor" hi the place of Mr. Crampton, who no longer enjoys the confidence of this Government. The British consuls im plicated in the enlistment affair will be permitted to re main, by way of compromise. It is supposed that Eng land will take no exception to this procedure; as Mr. Cram pton's dismissal will have been owing not alone to his complicity with the enlistment case." Naval and military forces were being organised at Havannah to attack Mexico. Troops were also to be despatched to the aid of the Costa Ricans. The Sedate had given permission for Dr. Paul to accept acknowledgments from the British Go vernment. Her Majesty's ships Powerful and Arab arrived at Bermuda on the 4th ult. Letters from Mexico state that Aimonte was about to leave for England as funhassador. Advioes from South America re port au insurrection at Ariquipa, Southern Peru. Ex-President Echenique had routed the authorities. Referring to Lord C'arendon's last despatch the Herald says : "The letter from Lord Clarendon to Mr. Dallas upon the case of the British Minister Crampton (the publication of which our Pierce Administration has shown itself so anxious to suppress) we take pleasure in laying before our readers this morning. We have no doubt that, upon the first reading of this smooth and oily document, by every fair and dispassionate man in the United States this letter will be pronounced a satisfac. tory basis for absolution to Mr. Crampton. A more ingenious and plausible statement of the case, and more ample atonement in the way of apology, could hardly be concocted. The spirit pervading this letter throughout is a spirit of pacification, as if the signer had come from the Paris conferences with his mind ex panded to a higher appreciation of the blessings of peace than he had previously entertained, and disposed to larger and more unqualified concessions for the restoration of the entente cordiale with this country than at any period, even the most inauspicious to England's arms and finances during the Russian war. An olive branch so full of green and odorous blossoms from the Palmerston Cabinet to Mother Jonathan is certainly an extraordinary offering in behalf of John Bull. Lord Clarendon in this letter says— [Here follows an extract from Lord Clarendon's letter, ex pressing regret for offending, expressing belief in Mr. Crampton's innocence, and leaving the disposition of his case in your hands.]" The Eierald then goes on : " This is a most gracious refusal of the British Govern ment to remove Crampton and the offending consuls, but still it is a refusal, and nothing less. In the treatment of the case, however, following the special pleading and petti fogging of Marcy, Clarendon has fairly beaten our Ameri can pettifogger at his own game, and cornered him. A statesman desirous only of vindicating the offended laws of his country in the cases of Crampton and his associate con suls in this eminent business would have made short work of them on proof of their guilt. Instead of this, however, our pettifogging Administration sets Marcy to work upon his pettifogging letters. He proceeds to flew from the testimony of Strobel and Hertz and others, and from the correspondence in cyphers of Crampton himself, that he and his associate consuls are guilty and must be recalled. A voluminous mass of pompous and inflated diplomatic ver biage between the Palmerston and Pierce Cabinets is the result, Palmerston taking the cue from Marcy. It has brought us at length, after a bard winter, to this ultimatum, of Lord Clarendon, in which he puts the protestation of Crampton and his associate enlisting consuls all honour able men, as bettor evidence than such unfaithful British agents and adventurers as Strobel, Hertz, and the like. Whatever may be the value of the testi mony on either side, a conviction of the guilt of the ac cused parties should have been sufficient for the definite action of our Administration. The final process adopted by Clarendon cf discrediting Marcy's witnesses only illus trates the folly of our Premier in opening the door to this sort of special pleading. He can pursue the argument no further. Marcy must now act, and must act upon the naked merits of the case, and independently of the plead ings, apologies, and protestations of the British Govern ment as far as her' Majesty's offending agents are con cerned. And what are the naked merits of the case, stripped of this heavy mass of rubbish which has been thrown around them ? Simply these—Messrs. Crampton, Barclay, Mathew, and Rowcroft are detected in the overt act of violating our neutrality; but they are tried and proved guilty; our Administration is entirely convinced of their guilt, says so, says their presence hero in their official capacities has in consequence become unacceptable, and demands their recal. The British Government reply that they do not believe their men to be guilty, and their recall is positively refused. Now, what matters it how much the British Government may regret this business, or what apologies they may make, so they reface to remove those offensive officials, whose removal is the sine qua non, and what, after all his ostentatious pa rade of learned pettifogging, can Marcy do—after being fairly cornered—but cut short this ridiculous correspond ence by dismissal without further ceremony of Crampton and his associates? The argument, we say, is closed, and if their men aro unacceptable and their removal is re fused, they ought to be turned adrift ; demands and apo logies are exhausted. " We hope the one day's grace secured by Mr. Pierce in the suppressing of Clarendon's letter will have an swered the purpose of that cool and deliberate Cabinet consultation essential to a fine: decision upon this miser able farce one way or other. " Consistency requires the dismissal of the offenders in premises. Policy and fear may dictate another course. In any event, believing that Mr. Pierce has made all the ca pital for Buncombe that can be made of this Crampton einbroglio, small as the stock-in-trade may be, there can be no longer a necessity for withholding a verdict till after the Cincinnati Convention. " " V. 1.•• The - money article of the .Herald contains the following " It will make very little difference whether Mr. Cramp ton is dismissed or not. The subject has been talked about, and is now so well understood, and the mountain which has been so long in labour will at last bring forth a mouse. The effect has been already anticipated tenfold, and we shall not be surprised to see stocks 2 par cent. higher in less than two days after Mr. Crampton's dismissal than the day before." The Courier and Inquirer, in its monetary ar ticle, says : " Speculation in stocks at the opening of this week re ceived a severe check, under the influence of the disturb ing news from Washington in reference to the pending difference with Great Britain, and, although it is now generally admitted that no rupture between the two Go vernments is to be feared, the market has not yet fully re covered its buoyancy. However, prices are firmer, and all the efforts made by the buyers to increase the depres sion have been without effect." The Washington correspondent of the same jour nal takes a very favourable view of the relations with England " No change has occurred relative to the opposition of the British Minister. I have repeatedly stated that the difficulties respecting him would be settled without in gating upon his recall, while the country was flooded with oracular announcements—that Mr. Crampton was about to be dismissed ; that he would receive his passports on Saturday, at 1 o'clock ; that they would be ready in eight or ten days; the Cabinet had decided to suspend inter course with him, and soon. Your readers will bear in mind that I stated the probabilities were in favour of his remaining ; that the Cabinet had decided nothing in the premises ; that Lord Clarendon's despatch was apologetic and conciliatory ; and that, in short, after some formal correspondence on the subject with Mr. Crampton hi m . self the matter would be dropped. The dispute, I b e . lieve was adjusted last Monday, as I informed you; through other sources the public will have tie conclusive and satisfactory explanation that Mr. Crampton would have been dismissed had not the President and Mr. Marcy changed their minds. Predictions will sometimes fail when facts cannot be manufactured to fulfil them. " The last despatch of Lord Clarendon which has been accepted, and making all the reparation demanded by the honour of the country, is a repetiti on o f t h e apo l ogy ten dered on the 16th of July last. It is accompanied; how ever, in this instance by a statement of facts not before known to our Government, and is, in its terms, somewhat more precise and unequivocal. Happily the correspon dence during the long interval has not been conducted in a manner to involve the two countries in war." The Washington Union says--- "The impression sought to be made that Clarendon's letter will induce the Government to change its policy (as indicated in the demand for Mr. Crampton 's recall) is wholly without foundation. The determination of the Government is still the sums." The Washington Intelligence regards Lord Cla rendon's letter as so conciliatory and apologetic in its character that it patronisingly hopes— " That our Government will, in a spirit- of frankness t and courtesy, forego the further proseeutiou of thi t i Ten, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Sol:um/L=ON, June 4.—By the Royal Mail steam-ship Solent, Captain Jellicoe, with the West India, Mexican, and Pacific mails, in ch:trge of Lieut. Payne, R.N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from— Tampico May 3 Vera Cruz Havanuah Greytown Barbadoes Grenada — 11 Carriacou St. Vincent's — 11 St. Lucia Martinique — 13 Guadaloupe — 13 Dominica Antigua . — 13 St. Kitt's St. Thomas's Fayal Carthagena - 11 Colon . Jamaica Hayti Porto Rico — 15 Demerara Tobago Trinidad The Solent brings 174 passengers, among whom are the Lieutenant-Governor of Grenada (Keate), Lieutenant Cowell, Dr. Dempstead, Count de Borjet and suite, &c. On freight there i s s p ec i e valued at $3,617320 7c., or say 726,0001. sterling, of which $2,926,729 46c. is on account of the Mexican dividends. The specie is from the follow ing ports :—From Tatnpico, $1,004,708 33c. ; Vera Cruz, $1,992,021 13c. ; the Pacific ports, $290,649 3c. ; California, $318,500 34c. ; Carth agena , $63267 200. ; Jamaica, $4,469 98c. ; St. Thomas', $10,704 6c. ; and other parts of the West Indies, $3,000. The cargo of the Solent comprises only 120 packages of sundries. During the homeward voyage the Solent experi enced moderate weather. Her late arrival was caused by being compelled to put into Fayal for coal. The intelligence from the West Indies is again uninteresting. The news from Jamaica reports a slight disturbance among the military, but no lilies were sacrificed. In the markets alewives were sell ing at 245. to 265. American butter was sold at 13d. to 131 d. ; Irish, I4d. to 15d. ; but owing to the very small stock of the latter description the principal holder had refused less than 16d. Brandy was worth 18s. to 19s. per gallon best quality. COffee was scarce and corn dull. Sales in sugar were being effected at 18s. to 20s. 6d., according to quality. Exchange was quoted for bills on Lon. don at-90 days, per cent, premium ;60 days, 1 per cent. ditto ; 30 days, 11 ditto ; merchants' bills were at par. From Demerara we learn that the Court of Policy assembled on the sth ult. A report having been read from the Immigration Agent-General on the arrival of the bark Dorcas from Madeira, and also a letter from Messrs. Allen, Brothers, and Co. on the subject of the detention of the Dorcas, a very animated discussion ensued on the general question of emigration from Madeira on the exist ing system, as well as on the liability of the colony to the payment of the bounty for immigrants who would not indenture themselves for a term as field labourers. The immigrants are wanted for agri cultural labourers, and for no other purpose. The Court resolved— " That, adverting to the minutes of this Court of the sth of January, 1855, duly communicated to the authoribed agent of this colony at Madeira, and subsequently published by proclamation of his Excellency the Governor, the Court cannot acknowledge any liability on the part of the colony for the payment of bounties on any Madeira immigrants who will not enter into indentures as agricultural labourers for three years; and the charterers are referred to their legal remedy against the passengers in question." The session of the Supreme Criminal Court had terminated, thereby closing the heaviest calendar ever known in the colony—viz., 84 cases, and about 130 prisoners. Of these, however, about 107 were indicted for being concerned in the late riots. The principal offender, named Orr, alias the "Angel Gabriel," was sentenced to three years' imprison ment with hard labour. He is of a most excitable temperament, and it was with great difficulty that his friends prevented him from conducting his own defence. An attempt had been made to set fire to the house of the Attorney-General, but fortu nately the attempt was discovered in time to enable the family to escape. A proclamation had been issued by the Governor offering a reward of 1,000 dollars for the discovery of the offender. The subject of a water supply for the city had not been settled ; in fact, the newspapers state that the question seemed as far from a settlement as ever. The Hon. John Lucie Smith had been ap pointed Attorney-General. The militia had been' formed. At the ballot 207 names were drawn. The Volunteer Rifle Corps is 100 strong, and the cavalry musters 122. The total number to be called according to the ordinance is 330, exclusive of officers, but the number actually drawn makes with the volunteers 329. A favourable change had taken place in the weather, and 6opious and fre quent showers had fallen. Dysentery before the rain fell was very prevalent, but had since consi derably declined. The exports for the fortnight were unusually limited. Sugar, 445 hogsheads, 29 tierces, 2 barrels ' - rum, 128 puncheons, 14 hoasheads, 12 barrels ; molasses, 29 puncheo ns ; greenheart, 9,000 feet ; 214 salted hides, 385 sheepskins, 145 tons, and 13 pieces old metal. There were very few ships in the harbour. Freights were low and produce scarce. Business among the merchants was very scarce. Her Majesty's ship Arachne left Demerara for Barbadoes and Antigua on the 10th inst. At Trinidad drought prevailed, although a few showers had fallen. One large fire had taken place, which destroyed a quantity of canes. A second batch of coolies had been received and distributed. The followingareTe stations of her Majesty's ships :—At Jamaica, Termagant, 'mum, Mariner, and Malacca ; at Barbadoes, Vestal ; at Greytown, Eurydice. The Panama Star and H erald publish a list of the persons killed and wounded by the late acci dent on the Panama Railroad. As far as the cal culation had been made, it shows 43 to have been killed and about 60 wounded. The unfortunate passengers comprised three English and several Irish and Americans. The Panama papers also publish columns of correspondence respecting the late Panama massacre, but nothing new is added. to the facts already printed. Intelligence from the Pacific states that at Chili all was quiet. The crops had been greatly injured by heavy rains which had fallen during the month of March. In Peru, G enera l Castillo exhibited an inclina tion to carry matters with a high hand. Political pronunciamentos were expected and would pro , bably shortly appear.
