Sun Office, 112, Strand. - 4, ‘511,1%, - LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, MO The Neapolitan pear is rapidly ripening. The pickle in which the rod for the magnanimous /loans has for some time been immersed has be come complete brine. The crisis cannot long be deferred ; and we are rapidly approaching the beginning of the end of the BOURBON dynasty iu the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The time honoured adage, " quern deus cult perdere prim dementat," is likely to receive a new and powerful illustration, and FERDINAND will serve to point a moral and adorn a tale for future generations. The state of the case requires no very compli cated argument to explain. BOMBA desires "to do what he will with his own," or, in other words, to exercise the most fearful and heartless cruelty towards his unfortunate subjects. He is perfectly well aware that he could not persevere in his reckless course for a single week but for the anticipation of foreign intervention. He drives the people of all classes to madness, but the Austrian bayonets "looming in the future" have hitherto restrained the sufferers. We trusted that the powerful remonstrances not only of France and England, but even of Austria, would have proved effectual, and were naturally reluc tant to draw the sword until every other means of an amicable arrangement had been exhausted. But the heart of Boms.i was hardened. Ho treated the judicious counsel which he received with de rision, and replied with would be gibes and re proaches to Powers that could crush him without the slightest trouble or difficulty. He must have had some secret assurance; of sympathy and support, or he would not have ven tured on so daring a course ! And recent events prove that such has been the case. The CZAR has apparently been more grateful for the undis guised solicitude of BOMBA in his favour than Princes generally are. He is, at the risk of in volving his empire in another war, even more onerous than that in which it has already been engaged, making a movement in favour of the Model Despot of Naples. Prince GORTSCHAKOFF, the new Russian Chancellor, has published a cir cular, as bumptious—to use a vulgar but expressive phrase —as any that emanated from his prede cessor before the events of the late war had taught Russia a better estimate of its own real strength and its inability to cope with the mari time Powers. He now professes his adhesion to the principle of " non-intervention" in the affairs of other nations, in the moat stringent interpre tation of the term, and cites the cases of Greece and Naples as installco.3, in the former whereof an interference is actually existing, and the latter i n w hi c h it is threatened. He, therefore, thinks that nothing can now justify "the continued pre sence of foreign troops on the soil of Greece !" We shall, however, for the present restrict ourselves to the Neapolitan question, without further entering into the reasons which rendered the course adopted towards Greece not merely justifiable, but absolutely imperative on the West ern Powers. Prince GORTSCHAKOFF declares that " the King of NAPLES is the object of a pressure, not because his Majesty has transgressed any en gagement imposed on him by treaty towards foreign Courts, but because, in the exercise of his incontestable rights of sovereignty, he governs his subjects according to his fancy !" Here is the despotic theory clearly and unequivo cally developed. A SJvereign is to govern his subjects—not for their good, for their wel fare, prosperity, and happiness—but "according to his own fancy." (! !!) Should he choose, in the exercise of his plenary authorii.y, to imprison them in loathsome dungeons without the shadow of a cause, or more mercifully to consign them at once to the hands of the executioner, sparing them the lingering deaths with which the Neapo litan gaolers are so well acquainted, or to con fiscate their properties, it is perfectly venial. Nothing but acting " according to his fancy !" And of this no foreign Power has a right to complain. This is the Russian doctrine. This is what the AUTOCRAT is resolved to support, not merely by his persuasive arguments, but by the presence of a Russian fleet in the Bay of Naples. Be it so. Neither France nor England have attacked Naples. They have merely resolved on holding no further diplomatic intercourse with a Power that has treated every friendly remon strance with contumely and flippant insolence. They have therefore determined to withdraw their representatives, and send a naval force to protect French and British subjects from wrong, and also from any foreign interference in the inter nal affairs of the kingdom. The matter must rest between BOMBA. and his people. If we do not in terfere' against him we shall not allow others, no matter who, to interfere against them. That is the strict principle of non-interference, and that we shall enforce. But the AUTOCRAT will send a fleet to enforce his views. He is per fectly welcome to (13 so. We should far rather see them there than skulking behind the fortifica tions of Cronstadt, or sunk in the waters before Sebastopol. Should they attack us, our ships will be able to protect themselves, and once in the Mediterranean, they can be rendered a good account of. We desire nothing better than that the whole of the Baltic Fleet should pass the Straits of Gibraltar, and if they choose to violate the principle laid down in Prince GORTSCHAKOFF'S Circular, it will not be the less acceptable to us. Should BOMBA. prcduce that result, he may be looked on as the benefactor of all the oppressed an" "uffcring nationalities throughout Europe. Sugarplums for BOMBA. nuts for OT/10 these tidings that England and France are re solved to put an end, per fas aut nefas, for once and for all, vi et annis, by hook or by crook, bon gr 4 mal gri, to the present untoward state of things in the kingdoms of Greece and the Two Sicilies ! Pity we can't hope for the same carnival shower of nuts and sugarplums with which to pelt, from Paris and London, th© heads of CLICQUOT and O'DoNNELL ! Let us console our selves, however, with the thought—All in good time ! Here, at least, in regard to Athens and Naples, we have the promise of a simultaneous " move" on the part of the two Great Allies, the arbiters of the destinies of Europe, the nations universally recognised as being in the van of civilisation. It is still to us a matter of surprise and be wilderment that the recent events in Spain, those infamous and events which have once more driven ESPARTERO into retirement, anct have soiled the sceptre of ISABELLA with the bloody finger-marks of a lawless and pitiless Ad venturer like O'DOISNELL, should have been not merely countenanced, but actually commended and rewarded, by the Emperor NAPOLBON 111. rewarded not only by Imperial eulogiums in the lioniteur, but actually by the presentation to the Victorious Conspirator of the glorious insignia of the Legion of Honour ! This, we say, is still to us a source at once of marvel and astonishment. England and France, however—disassociated in this policy as regards Spain—are happily yet bound intimately together by the coincidence of their sympaenies in relation both to the Greek and Neapolitan Governments. The active and energetic alliance of the two countries, therefore, is not destined to die out with the flames of the Crimean Conflict. That active and energetic alliance which was consecrated by the blood shed successively upon the banks of the Alma, among the ruins of Inkerman, in the valley of Balaklava, on the bridge of Traktir, along the heights of the Tchernaya, and lavishly night by night, side by side, during so many disastrous but heroic months, in front of the terrible earthworks thrown up in , defence of the beleaguered city of Sebastopol. An alliance hallowed by so many common glories won together, so many common dangers shared together, so many common cala mities endured together, could not, indeed, dwindle down so very craickly into a mere cool, common place, every-day, international friendship. Eng land and France, let us still cherish the belief, are Allies henceforth not temporarily, but perma nently. Their interests are identical. Estrange ment again between them would have about it something of the horror, something of the infamy of the suicidal. War between them, once more, would partake of the atrocity of one literally of an internecine character. For all Christendom is now their witness that they are rivals only in the arts of peace, and brothers by ties not less close than those of absolute con sanguinity— " Brothers in arms, and rivals in renown." Insomuch that it matters little what may here after be the divergence of their opinions upon this or upon that policy—their general views being necessarily One, as we have already said that their common interests are Identical. As if in demon stration of this, we aro noting almost simulta neously with the diversity of opinions expressed in France and England in regard to the Spanish coup d'etat, the sympathetic accord of the two Governments in reference to their united policy as to the treatment of the malad.ministering Powers of Greece and the Two Sicilies. It is especially encouraging to mark the coincidence of the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries in regard to the nitintatu-m, addressed by both simultaneously to that wretched BOMBA, who is flr worse than the mere Marplot of Italian Regeneration—encouraging, we moan, to the hopes of tho Liberals throughout Europa,now that the Envoys of VicToltut. and NAPOLEON are flaunting so straMly, and, in one sense, so in consistentlyal nong the courtiers and at Moscow, flatterers of the Russian Autocrat. Mr. BAZALCOI:TTE'S four plaits for the purifica tion of the Thames and the drainage of the me tropolis are to he formally taken into considera tion to-morrow . afternoon. Firstly- the scheme having an out fall. at Barking Creek and Plunastead Marshes, at an estimated expenditure of 2,955,0761. secondly--the plan having an out fall at Halfway Reach, at an outlay of 3,300,206/, Thirdly—the plan having an outfall at Long .Rettlt; ''at an outlay of 3,873,1361. Fourthly, and lastly—the plan for carrying off bodily the entire sewage matter of the metropolis, from the north and from the south, from Surrey and from Middlesex, giving it a remote outfall as far away from the City of London, as far removed down the River Thames, as Mucking Fiats, about five miles below Gravesend. A proposition, the oue here last mentioned, involving disbnrsements amounting in the aggregate to something very little short indeed of 4,800,0001., or, to be ex plicit, to precisely 4,718,400/. sterling, according to Mr. BAZALGETTE'S own calculation. Tomor row, as we have said, the whole comprehensive group of suggestions, with a view to the purifi cation of the Thames and the drainage of the Metropolis will at length be formally and deli berately taken into consideration. The Metro politan Board of Works, like another Hercules, essaying yet once more to cleanse the vast Augean stable of the capital, the stagnating clolcce of the great twin-cities of London and Westminster. Virtually the Board of Works is understood to have already rejected the two former of these four remarkable schemes of purification. Neither of them being regarded as strictly in accordance with the Act, by reason of the proximity to the metropolis consequent upon retaining outfalls at Barking Creek, or Halfway Reach, or Plumstead Marshes. The difficulty therefore resolves itself into an alternative between the Long Reach scheme and the Sea Reach scheme—the former at the risk of, at once by a single blow, permanently destroying the four im portant and increasing towns of Greenhithe, Grays, Northfleet, and Gravesend ! A conside- ration which of itself, we cannot but think, leaves the latter scheme, the Sea Reach scheme, the scheme giving to the aggreated London sewage an appropriate outfall at Mucking Flats altogether, unrivalled by any other of the ingenious plans put forward in his last report by Mr. BAZALGETTE. Better plans, of course, than any of those sug gested by Mr. BAZALGETTE may yet be forth coming—but this particular plan of his, giving an outlet to the sewage absut five miles below Gravesend, is incomparably, and, beyond all manner of doubt, the very best plan he has yet submitted to the scrutiny of Government. A decision at which we ourselves arrive none the less promptly, and which we enunciate none the less positively because it happens to exceed in cost —the Barking Creek plan by 1,763,3241.—the Halfway Reach plan by 1,478,1941.—and the Long Reach plan by 845,0001., or, in round numbers, very little short of 1,000,0001. ! An excess of one million pounds sterling, we maigtain, is absolutely as nothing—if, by that additional expenditure, we can really insure the more effec tual drainage of London, and the more complete purification of the river Thames. A thorough purification, a thorough drainage is what is im peratively required. And to effect this—What in the name of fortune is an odd million extra to a capital containing 2,500,000 inhabitants ? Par ticularly when it is estimated (a very astounding estimate, we admit, but a very reasonable one, also, nevertheless) that in thirty years' time from the present year of grace 1856 the population of the metropolis will be actually doubled—London comprising then within its limits, anno Domini 1886, not 2,500,000, but absolutely 5,000,000 inhabitants ! It is preposterous, therefore, to suppose for an instant that we are to boggle about an additional outlay of 845,0001., supposing by that additional outlay we can in any way more effectually drain away the sewage of our metro polis. A supplementary notion in the way of yet • , , • nr• dorising of the feculent refuse of the capital, so as to render the sewage available as manure, for the direct and solid advancement of the interests of our national agriculture, leaving merely the waste sewage " water " to be emptied as refuse into the Channel. Whatever the additional ex penditure consequent in the first instance upon the carrying out of this supplementary suggestion —it must, in reason and at all oosts, be adven tured upon ! It will be remunerative. It will enhance, in a double sense, the productiveness of. the soil. It will be an additional, and of itself an all-sufficient, justification of the whole of these intended improvements, however vast and com plicated in their general organisation. Wherefore—let the Metropolitan Board of Works in to-morrow's deliberation decide reso lutely and definitively upon that Plan beyond all others which shall tend to the most complete drainage of the metropolis, to the most thorough purification of the Thames—by conveying the sewage of London to a point the most remote from the capital itself, and there, at that remot• outfall (and not sooner) deodorising it for the purposes of general cultivation.

LA' The Paris corresponut of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says— " The Governmentof England and France, desirous, I am infoied, of exhausting every chance which might Fent a lio3tile demonstra tion in the Bay of Nfes, will not take any final step until they are minced that the King and Neapolitan CAbinet re determined to brave European opinion anidefy England and France. In the course of a .y or two, I am told, the Cabinets of Londonind Paris must bo in a position to apply tl united policy they have determined to cart.: out with regard to the Neapolitan d ifficultie "Orders were sento Verona a few days since for several regiments an some batteries of artillery to hold themselves n readiness to march at a moment's notice. aese troops ate destined to reinforce those now the Legations." The Paris corresindent of the Times (second edition) says : " The Ministeria journals of Paris will, no doubt in pursuance of instructions from official quarters, treat the ocular of Prince Gortschakoff as if it was not genine ; or, if it be really the composition of the peson whose name it bears, that Prince Gortschakoff alone is responsible for it. It will be alleged that there is internal evi dence showing that no official hand could have drawn it up. A t o m,arison will be made be tween the notes. of Cunt Nesselrode, charac terised as they were 1 9 - courtesy, dignity, and skill, and the essay t Prince Gortschakoff, in which words and expessions are found not gene rally used in offical documents. While the paper itself will be buched on in a tone of incre dulity, the topics nentioned in it will be treated more seriously. P will be said that it would be strange for Russia o pay such particular attention to Naples when nocommunication had been made to her on that quesion by the French Government, and about which sle possesses no more information than the public generally ; and with reference to Greece it will be said that the moment when the representatives of the Powers are about to delibe rate on the coidition of that country, with a view to its orgatisation, would not be the most propitious for Rusia to hold the language attri buted to her. On the whole, the Gortschakoff despatch, which contains some expressions which he is accustomed to use, will be considered as hardly emanating from authority, though I be lieve its genuineness is not doubted in official quarters. " The rumour that strong reinforcements were to be sent to the army of occupation of Rome is, I am told, unfounded. It was even said that the division of General Rostolan was to proceed from Marseilles for that object ; but I am assured that the present force is not to be increased by a single company. It is true that 800 men, taken from various depots, are going to Italy, but it is merely to fill up the places of the same number to whom six months' leave of absence has been granted." The Times' Vienna correspondent (second edi tion) says :—" The Anglo-French demonstration against Naples is still the principal topic of conver sation inVienna, and great is the impatience of the public to learn whether there is any truth in the report that a Sardinian squadron is to accompany the ships of the two great Powers to the Neapolitan coast. ] t is not likely that the King of Naples ro vv cio, rand as it is felt that the latter cannot will at withdrms t, accept tliv - • tho Western their ships until they have obtained satis faction, a most unpleasant complication of the Italian question is expected. It is not in my power to communicate any facts which would tend to show the state of public feeling in the Austro- Italian provinces, but perfectly reliable information has been givon me that the fidelity of the natives of Lombardy cannot be counted on. The inhabi tants of Venice are naturally much milder than their Lombard neighbours, but still they would hardly be so quiet and docile as they are were it not notorious that no attempt at insurrection has any chance of success. It is already settled that their Majesties shall go to Venice iu November next, and their journey will probably be extended to Milan, if all is quiet in Italy." A letter from Genoa, of the 24th inst., says : " The fact of an Anglo-French squadron proceed ing to Naples, to oblige King Ferdinand to make concessions, has caused considerable excitement throughout Italy, the more so as the people were beginning to fear that the Western Powers had abandoned that intention. Austria having failed to induce King Ferdinand to yield, and wishing to save him from an impending catastrophe, intended to interfere at the same time as England and France, under the pretext that she was an Italian Power ; but as Piedmont might, for the same reason, claim a similar right, and as the sight of an Ita lian flag would rouse the Neapolitan and Sicilian population., Austria has changed her mind, and no longer insists on interfering at Naples. The only concessions demanded from King Ferdinand are, that he shall grant a political amnesty and reform his police system. Others assert that he has been asked to modify the Customs legislation, but this report lequires confirmation. Iu the meantime an extraordinary movement is observed in the depart ments of War and Marine at Turin. The Pied monteso Government evidently wishes to be pre pared for every contingency. The difference be tween Piedmont and Tuscany does not appear to be in a fair way of adjustment. The news of the expedition against Naples had likewise made a deep impression in the Grand Dachy." The British Government has recently brought forward a plan for the settlement of the Monte negrin question which finds favour with Austria, and, as is related, with France. The plan is, that certain lowland districts, now belonging to Turkey Proper, should be ceded to Montenegro, which principality shall then publicly recognise the suze rainete of the Porte. In a word, it is proposed to give the mountaineers the means of living like honest awl peaceable citizens, and to place them on the same footing with the Porte as are the Servians. VIENNA, MONDAY, SEPT. 29, NOON. TIU3 Ministerial Prussian Correspondence states that Russia has ceded Bolgrad to Moldavia, bu the news is inconeet.

Au adjournment has taken place owing to General Von Gerlach, who was sum- moned as a witness, not being present.. TURI-CEY. CONSTANTIT'.:OPLE, Sept. D.—There is a com plete stand-still in politics. The question of the Principalities is alone uppermost in every mind, but nothing will be done until the discussion on the union 1)0 terminated at, Paris. Sir Henry Buiwer left this morning for Broussa, with the intuition of making inquiries in the neighbourhol)l. Sir John Macneil, C.E., and Major-General Chesney have arrive I, in the interest of the Eu phrates railway. Several engineers have arrivel for the survey of another rail way, that from Rassova to Kostendje. You know that in the beginning of this year a fir man was obtained for the construction of the canal of Kostendje. The project was found impractica ble, but as the firman leaves the possessor the option between a canal and a railway the latter has been decided upon. However impracticable as a canal it promises well enough as a railway, the country through which the line is to pass being very fertile, although rather thinly populated. But it seems more reliance is placed on transit than on local traffic, and the chances certainly are that the exports of the higher Danube will take that direc tion. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Bourse, ab3orbed by the financial embarrass ments of 11 the countries of Europe, has for some time past paid little attention to diplomatic ques tions. To-day, however, the circular of Prince G-ort schakoff has produced a very powerful impression, and has again forced down the prices of all secu rities. The Moniteur de la Flotte contradicts a statement which has been made by several journals, that no more einvicts are to be sent to Cayenne, and that the whole of those now there will be removed to New Caledonia. "The great distance of the latter from the mother country would," says the Muni teur de la Flotte, " produce financial impediments to such a step, even if no objections existed." BOURSE, Sept. 29.

Another letter from Vienna, of the 25th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It is stated, in well informed circles, that the last accounts from Na ples are more favourable, and give reason to hope that the King will accept the ultimatum, of the Western Powers. His acceptance, it is said, will be accompanied by a manifesto, in which his Ma jesty will point out the motives which have in duced him to yield. It is thought that this deal'• ment will be couched somewhat in the form of a protest. Orders were sent to Verona a few days since for several regiments and some batteries of artillery to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice. These troops are des tined to reinforce those now in the legations. The I Danish envoy, M. de Billow, has had second con ference with Count de Bud, but he has not deli vered any written document to our Cabinet, nor any letter from the King of Denmark to the Emperor." A letter from Vienna of the 23d says :—" Our situation in the Lombard and Venetian provinces is incontestably identical with that of the Neapo litan Government towards its subjects ; and, con sequently, the first spark of civil war and insur rection in the Two Sicilies would cause a confla gration in our Italian possessions. You could not form an idea of the sensation produced here amongst the public and in Governmental regions by the resolution of the two great maritime powers to send a strong squadron to Naples. Count de Buol, in accordance with orders from the Emperor, has hastened to address an identical note, strongly worded, to the Court of Paris and to the government of Lon don, calling their serious attention to the grave responsibility which they may incur by carrying eat their coercive demonstrations against the calm- Bourqueney recently presented to the Count Buol was drawn up in such terms as intimate a certain delay in sending the combined squadron to Naples, but the news received yesterday in this city presages the immediate execution of this measure. It is be lieved here that Gen. de Martini, our representative at Naples, hasreceived not only from Count de Buol, but personally from the Emperor, the most positive verbal instructions to act efficaciously on the minds of the king and of the members of the royal family. These instructions oven go the length of authorising our envoy to favour the project which is ascribed to King Ferdinand of abdicating in favour of his son, , the Duke of Calabria." DENMARK. A letter from Copenhagen, in the Ramburg News, says :—" The resignation of M. Andrea, the Minister of Finance, has caused much surprise. It was well known that considerable disaccord existed in the Ministry, and M. de Scheele and M. Andrea was generally thought to be on very unfriendly terms, but no one expected a rupture so • soon. Nothing positive is known as to the cause of the retirement of M. Andrea, but it is very probable that it is in consequence of some differences with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The opinions of the two Ministers were at variance as to the diplo matic agents who are to be accredited at foreign courts, the reorganisation of the Danish diplomatic body being now' under discussion. If M. Andrea be replaced by a partisan of the ordinance of the 26th July, 1855, it is probable that other Ministers will resign." SWEDEN. Those who take an interest in the affairs of the north of Europe have not perhaps passed unno ticed the fact published in the Swedish official jour nal of the appointment of a mixed Commission of six Swedes and six Norgewians to meet at Chris tiania under the presidency of the Viceroy, for the better determination of the act of union between the two countries. It is worthy of remark that, though the sister kingdoms have been upwards of 40 years under the same ruler their mutual obli gations, in the event of war, are still undefined. It is in order to supply this important' omission, and to obviate any discussion that might arise in the hour of action, and prevent auy fatal indeci sion in the time of peri!, that this Commission has been named. It is evident, from the serious attention given to the minutest details of the defence of the country, that the Swedish Government well understands the danger to which the honourable and independent position taken up by the signature of the Treaty of the 21st Nov., 1855, exposes it. Sweden appears well disposed to co-operate in raising a mighty bulwark in the North against Muscovite ambition, but she naturally expects that the sympathies of the Scandinavian people will be supported by the Western Powers, and allowed to develope them selves by a, still closer union, and that statesmen will more fully understand the capabilities of the North, and its vital importance in the great Euro peAn questions of the day. SWITZERLAND. The Bund, iii its nutnber of the Nth instant, publishes a document relative to the Neuchatel affair. It is a message from the Federal Council to the Federal Assembly. The diplomatic portion of the document is the conclusion. It says : "As regards the diplomatic representatives of the Powers, if we except Prussia, they have not taken any steps with us in the matter, except some of them have taken advantage of their position to recommend us either officially or officiously to use moderation towards the prisoners under arrest. Once we were able to support ourselves upon the fact generally acknowledged, that In no manner will the rules of humanity permitted under such circumstances be deviated from. " Shoucl, eventually, diplomatic negotiations take place they can, in our opinion, only be opened upon the basis of the recognition of the complete independence of Neuchatel as regards foreign States. We should ener getically reject all overtures that did not rest upon that basis. We are also of opinion that in our position it is not for us to take the initiative in this respect. "Justice will quietly follow its legal course, and to guarantee it from anything of a nature to disturb it, to nip in the bud any attempt of the sort, it will be neces sary for the Federal troops to occupy the canton of Neuchaiel until the investigation has terminated." The Gazette of St. Gah publishes the following: "M. G. de Petit-Pierre, Count of Wesdehlen ' the poli tical leader of the insurrection, ex-member of the Diplo matic Corps of Prussia, afterwards Cotmcillor of State at Neuchatel, was in relation with the Berlin Court by his liaison with the CounteSs of Waldburg-Truchsen, of a mediatised family related to the Royal House. Hit complete correspondence,consistiogof 44 letters, has been found. They contain the idea and the plans of execution of the insurrection, which are stated with much clear:, 85C uess.• These letters will not be published till after the trial. The Federal Council has taken note of this cor respondence." THE COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 28. Her 2.lajei,ty the Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, and attended by her Graco the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary Seymour, awl Major G-eiter:d the Hon. C.

The royal dinner party included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness the Princess Amalie cf Hohenlohe Schillingfurst, the Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lord James Murray. THE FRENCH COURT. PARIS, SEPT. 28. Prince Luc:en Bonaparte, accompanied by the Mar quis de Valdespina. and Don Antonio de Ansotegni, arrived at Marquina, on the 19th. Count de Hatzielii, the Prussian Ambassador in Paris, the Countess do llatzfeld, and the Prince de Reus, First Secretary of Embassy, had tha honour of dining with their Majesties at Biarritz on Friday, and left the fol lowing morning by an express train for Paris. M. Rouher, the Minister of Public Works, and M. Franqueville, the Director-General of the Pouts et Chauss4es, who had been summoned to Biarritz by the Emperor, embarked on board the Pelican, accompanied by the members of the Commission of Engineers, and proceeded to the mouth of the river to examine the bar. M. Dagneult, who has been charged by the Emperor to execute the works at the bar of the Bayonne has been sent to Italy to examine some similar ones constructed in that country. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. "THE FOUNTAIN OF JOUVENCE." The Summer Exhibition of Pictures at the Crysta Palace finally closes on the 4th of October. The cele brated picture, " The Fountain of Jouvence," by M. Fraussonillier, which has created such an extraordinary sensation in the world of art, was purchased about six months ago by C. Morton, Esq., of the Canterbury Hall ; and in the course of a few days the habitues of that ex cellent place of amusement will have an opportunity of viewing a painting which has excited intense interest amongst the higher circles. " La Fontaine de Jouvence," by M. Haussoillier, is a specimen of French Pre-Raphaelitism. The fountain in which the old and the decrepit are made young and beautiful forms the centre of the picture, and the limits of two spheres. In the one we have a repulsive arid desert, with snowy mountains in the distance, and in the other green glades and umbrageous forests, such as the faun and the hamadryad would delight to desport in. The process of the renewal of youth is seen in its diffe rent stages—the greybeard panting for the juvenescent fluid, the half-youthed sylph in the midst of the process, and the perfect beauty with all her youth regained. But how shall we describe the charms of the general com position, as well as the colour and drawing with which the details are executed S The bare brown desert—the satin-like snow—the fountain, which leaves Watteau behind—and the depths of the forest, as fine, every whit, . as Titian or Annibale Carracci. THE THEATRES'. DRURY-LANE. Mr. Bourcicault's vivacious comedy of " London As surance " was performed here last night, most especially to give Mrs. Emma Waller an opportunity of displaying her talents in comedy. Mrs. Emma Waller has a charm ing voice and laugh, and great natural vivacity ; and she gave to the part the joyousness and innocence, the daring spirit and the gentle grace, that make it, though so spirited, so truly feminine a portraiture. The play was effectively cast, and was much relished by a full audience. Mr. Keeley played his old part of Dolly, Mr. Spanker ; Mr. Tilbury was the hearty old Squire flarkaway. The burlesque of " Pizarro " followed, and seems nightly to increase in popularity. HAYMARKET. Mr. Murdoch has so tar made a hit here that the "Inconstant" is nightly repeated, and his Young Mira bel greatly admired. Last night Mr. Stirling Coyne's original and very spirited drama of " Presented at Court" was reproduced, and a young lady, Miss Emily Sabine, appeared as the heroine, Mistress Franklyn. This young lady is not quite new to this stage, having appeared as Celia, in "As You Like it ;" and she is evidently practised in her art. She has a pleasing voice and manner, and is extremely intelligent, and enacted the young city maiden, anxious to join in the splendours of a Court, with considerable vivacity. She is an ac quisition to the stage, and, doubtless, willmake way with her qualifications and earnestness. The revival was its Y"" relished, and probably will continue to keep -"- rnni•A es per.;•mily aa +h. vnfianpq na.nnOt see their favourite Buckstone in the " Inconstant." ASTLEY'S. The splendid spectacle of "Richard III." has now run *early nine weeks, and the attraction continues as great as ever, and from present appearances it promises to outrival the success of " Mazeppa," which was one of the greatest hits on record. The death of the King's war horse, White Surrey, elicits, as usual, a hurricane of applause. The scenery of the spectacle is exceedingly beautiful, and the costumes are very splendid and histo rically correct. The attendance last evening was im mense, and the applause bestowed upon the efforts of the talented lessee, Mr. W. Cooke, was most enthusi astic. MARKET NEWS.—(This Lay.) HAY MARKETS.

'INAUGURATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS OF MIDDLESEX. (This Day.) To-day the time-honoured custom—but whether it would be " more honoured in the breach than in the observance" we will not now stop to enquire, though the farcical formula observed on these occasions savours in this age strongly of the ridiculous—of the Sheriffs of Middlesex proceeding from the City to Westminster hall, there to do suit and service in counting sundry hob nails and chopping of wood, was observed with that pomp, gravity, and decorum so peculiarly ago' ciated with all civic pageants, but which invariably provokes a smile from the spectator as the outward and visible signs of an institution requiring muc h alto' ration. The time is gone by when the spare form of a city merchant, or the burly figure of an agriculturist , requires to be enveloped in certain trappi n gs to give dignity to the offices they fill, and inspire a we, respect, an d obedience from the people. The latter know now bow to pay obedience to a man in office from the authority he wields, and they respect him for his integrity and private virtues ; and the sooner such mummeries as these are dispensed with the better. At 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor-Elec t, the Aldermen, Recorder, Town Clerk, and all the other important functionaries of the Corporation, with the Lord Mayor's household, assembled, in their robes of office, in the Aldermanic Chamber, Guildhall, where they were shortly after joined by the new Sheriffs, Mr. J• 3 ' Mechi (the celebrated agricolturist) and Mr. F.

The balance-sheet, by Mr. Futrell, shows Dr. to Crg. 1,2701. ; assets, 6421. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and did no t oppose the bankrupt having a certificate, although they had been somewhat disappointed, as the property Tillnot realised the amount at which it was estimated. assignees had been carrying on the business, but he" been obliged to dispose of the property piecemea l, eas there was one mortgagee in possession and another not and the matter had also been in Chancery, and other mischiefs of that kind. Bankrupt had taken premise° at a high rental of 1501., and had therefore been num° . cessful. The assignees rather commiserated the ban rupt, as his failure might to a great extent be attribut e to that cause, and they would therefore leave the matt er is his Honour's hands. Mr. Kirkwood, for the bankrupt, said the latter bo been a waiter at an hotel, and had saved 2001., ax d ' having borrowed 2001. more of a friend, took the house in question, in the expectation that a new neighbour' hood would be raised, but, in consequence of the failur e of his landlord, a builder, that expectation was no t realised. He, therefore, asked for a certificate o f the first class. His Honour said that the bankrupt had commenue il with a capital, although inadequate under the cirotlav stances, and his expenses had exceeded his profits cul l ' siderably, and the bankrupt ought not to have gone on so long, but, under all the circumstances, the bank' rupt was entitled to an immediate certificate of tb. , second class.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. TELLY V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION 00MTANI°.' STRUTHER V. DITTO. The former case was tried yesterday, when /fr. Self was nonsuited. On the second case being tried, it t 4 P; peered that the delay was occasioned through the Nie l " having been hoisted by one of the oompany's servant , and his Honour therefore gave a verdict for plaintiff Of 12s.

Michael Maline, a singular looking individual, NO ° charged with stealing half a crown, the property of Mr. Bottall, the landlord of the Fox and Goose public•hous e Bermondsey. Mr. Bottall said he knew the prisoner, and on Satnr• day night he came into the house while they were exa mining a suspicious looking half crown. The prisoner snatched it up and ran out of the shop, saying that he would get it changed. Witness followed him, and find ing he would not give back the half crown, he gave him into custody. Witness believed that he was rather cranky. The magistrate said there did not appear anything to show that he intended to steal the money, but still ho was unlawfully possessed of it, consequently he should sentence him to 14 days' hard labour at Wandsworth. THAMES. A MOTHER AND HER Two SONS OHMIGED WITS FELONY.—Mary Ann Mitchell, an elderly woman, and George and Charles Mitchell, her two sons, youth', aged 12 and 14 respectively, were brought before Mr Yardley, charged with stealing a large quantity of cut• lery, the property of Mr. John Miers, No. 53, Three colt-street, Limehouse. It appeared from the evidence that the youngest boy, George Mitchell, had been employed for some time by Mr. Miere, who is acutler, on Saturday evenings only, and while the boy had been in his service he had been continually missing parcels of knives and forks, and other property. Suspicion at last was directed towards the boy, who was detected with some new cutlery on hi° person, and given into custody. A police-constable having stated that the case wax not complete, and that other parcels of stolen cutlery were at various pawnbroker's, the prisoners were re' manded till Thursday. DETERMINED SUICIDE FROM SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE.- -- Yesterday morning, shortly before eight o'clock, a most determined act of self destruction was committed bi Mr. Wm. Parker (aged 65 years) who formerly resided at Hale-street, Poplar. He jumped off the centre of the bridge on the east side of the river. The toll col- lector, who saw the act, raised an alarm, when the fire men on duty at the floating engine, which is stationed at Southwark-bridge, instantly put off with their boats and drags, and the unfortunate man was got out i? 1 ,14 state of insensibility. He was conveyed with all pos sane despatch to St. Thomas's Hospital, where, after great difficulty, animation was restored. He gave his name and address, and died immediately. '~ t
