The exclamation of poor old CHUFFEY may not be exactly applicable to Queen ISABELLA, but she may be regarded as a veritable Bourbon of the Neapolitan line. She proves herself pos sessed of the qualities for which her Uncle, King BOMBA, has acquired such painful notoriety, to be equally insensible to the obligations of an oath, and incapable of profiting by the lessons of ex perience. The same mischievous cunning, with out the power of taking a large or comprehensive view of the state of public affairs, are charac teristics of both Sovereigns ; and both the Spanish and Neapolitan dynasties are, at this moment, greatly endangered by the flagrant dis regard and repudiations of the constitutions which they had respectively sworn faithfully to observe. In some respects it is difficult to say which of the illustrious pair has proceeded to the greatest lengths in violation of the rights of their subjects, or which has incurred the greatest odium in the cause of absolute and irresponsible despotism ? BOMBA. has the advantage of ago. He has been longer is the field and has contrived to inflict more protracted torture on his victims. But it is a labour of love with ISABELLA. She is a worthy niece to FERDINAND, a true daughter, in every respect, of MARIA CHRISTINA. To judge from the mode in which the conspiracy against the Constitution was conducted she has even more cunning than BOMBA, and is, therefore, the more dangerous of the two. Besides, as we have already stated, her only claim to reign is based on the Constitu tion. It is the foundation on which her throne rests. She has, therefore, exhibited at the same time greater courage and greater ingratitude in so deliberately kicking down the ladder to which L ille owes her elevation. It is, therefore, difficult to decide which is the more objectionable of the two. They are apparently arcades ambo—a phrase of which Lord BYRON has offered an appropriate translation. There has as yet been no eruption of the slum bering volcano at Naples ; but the dangerous character of the grryand on which BOMBA is re posinv, is too well known to need description. The Western Powers, who have ample means of enforcing obedience, have iu vain remonstrated. He shuts himself up in the peculiar obstinacy of his disposition, and treats with contumely un pleasing advice. Even the recommendations of Austria are equally disregarded, although it is solely on the Austrian bayonets that be can depend for a single week's security. He has hardened his heart against the consequences— which he will be the first, and probably the only one, to deplore when things have taken their inevitable course. There can, however, be no German interfer ence in the affairs of the Iberian Peninsula. There is no pretext arising from previous occu- Patton, or poosible dangers to neighbouring states in which Germans are interested. The ' matter is one for the decision of Spaniards, and Spaniards only. England will keop aloof from the contest, but it will be her duty to see that others display similar impartiality. We may pity the Spaniards, but they must a ,•ert their own privileges, and display the indispnsa , ble zeal and energy, if they hope for ultimate success. The cunningly-devised scheme, in which Isa- BELLA enacted the chief part, has obtained a temporary triumph at Madrid. But it remains to be seen what will be the results in the Pro vinces. As we stated yesterday, no less than 85 members of the Cortes have found their way to Saragossa. And the Assembly thus constituted must be regarded as the legitimate Parliament tit Spain. The treatment accorded to the members, who at Madrid held a meeting under their egitimate President, General INFANTE, shows that many others participate in the feelings of those who have seceded to Saragossa, and would, if possible, join them in their delibe rations. It will be seen that O'DONNELL refused the meeting claimed by the Deputies, declining to recognise its legality, on the extraordinary ground that it had not the liberty necessary ' for delibe ration, "iv, consequence of the pressure which may be exercised on it by the insurrection." Surely this is rather a strange assertion, when, at almost the very same moment, they state that " the rebellion is overcome and terminated, and the empire of the law is re-established." The authority of the Cortes is just as legitimate as that of the SovE REIGN, and when she choses, in the effort illegally to attain absolute power, and to set aside a co ordinate authority, any resistance that may be offered to the illegal proceedings is fully and completely justified. In the telegraphic despatches from St. Sebas tian' which we published in our impression of yesterday, it was said that "at Saragossa matters were in a fair way of arrangement." It must be recollected, however, that this was altogether a one-sided statement, and that the telegraphic communications ar© still interrupted, which proves that the Constitutional party are still in the ascendant in that city. Unless, then, ample con cessions are made, we cannot anticipate an early restoration of tranquillity, or suppose that civil strife can be averted, the flame whereof will spread through other parts of Europe, until a general contest shall arise between the conflicting prin ciples of Liberty and Despotism. What we have a right to ask from our diplo macy is, that we have timely cognisance of its doings. This practical demand implies all the principles which are most important. Nearly ut the same moment a noble protest comes to us across the Atlantic, from the pen of Col. FRIMONT, against secret diplomacy ; and Lord MALDIESBITRY, in our House of Lords, gives a provoking practical illustration of its oversights and incompetency. The British public is taking at the present an in terest in foreign politics beyond anything it has felt during the present generation, and now, therefore, seems to be the proper time to arouse public attention, if possible, to the rottenness anii mischievous working of the system on which our foreign relations are managed. It has already re ceived some rude shocks by its miserable aohieve ments at Vienna, Berlin, PAris, and, indeed, almost everywhere ; but, above all, in the discreditable termination of the CRAMPTON affair. Mr. M. GIBSON seems very desirous we should be at the expense of another secret service agent at Wash ington, but will his friend COBDEN not tell him that he would never be worth the cost of his voyage across, and probably, sooner or later, get us into some fresh scrape ; unless, indeed, he be charged to become livery-servant to the next Pre sident who may want one behind his chair when he canvasses for a renewal of his office. Col. FREMONT says plainly, " International embarrassments are mainly the results of a secret diplomacy, which aims to keep from the know ledge of the people the operations of the Govern ment. This system is inconsistent with the cha racter of our institutions, and is itself yielding gradually to a more enlightened public opinion and to the power of a free press, which, by its broad dissemination of political intelligence, secures in advance to the side of justice the judgment of the civilised world. An honest, firm, and open policy in our foreign relations would command the united support of the nation, whose de liberate opinions it would necessarily reflect." In America, it •is a hopeful indication, that the COLONEL'S views are not without vigorous support from the press of his country ; the New York Tribune argues for dispensing entirely with high paid representatives at foreign courts, and in this country we have had a journal adopting the same strain, which a short time back would have sneered at the suggestion, as the last barbarism of the Manchester School. We certainly have not been scholars in that Academy since it effectually taught the country the single lessen it ever was master of, but we are happy to acknowledge its merits as a denouncer of the uselessness and mischievousness, as well as cost, of our secret diplomatic system, and indeed of the system altogether. Mr. GIBSON, in his love to Messrs. PIERCE, MARCY, BUCHANAN, and the other Ostend appropriators of Cuba, would desert the standard of the great cotton mill members, and send the States another Minis ter. Perhaps, however, his cotton manufactur ing constituency share his inconsistency. The fresh exemplification of secret-service de faults is the destruction by the Russians of the fortresses of Reni and Ismail, on the Danube, before they left that district. Lord MALMESBURY justly pressed upon the Foreign Secretary the injury thus done, to Turkey, and the alter native that either he and Lord COWLEY had ill performed their part, or that Russia had acted with perfidy. Let us note the answer. It is in brief that Russia was perfidious to an un doubted understanding that the forts were to be preserved, but that it was so well understood that he (Lord CLARENDON) should have been ashamed to require of Ressia written stipulations. Ashamed to bind Russia by a written undertaking ! Had our plain men of business seen what was going on what would they have said to omitting from the bond anything they wished to be binding on the other patty ? But had Lord CLARENDON himself forgotten the value of an understanding with either Russia or Austria? Had he forgotten the infernal massacre of Sinope perptrated in violation of an express understanding, indeed of a verbal pledge ? Had he forgotten the cowardly shirking of the un.derstandiag of a written engagement between the Allies and Aus tria by that power 7 And, after such experience of what au understanding with heartless, selfish, despots, w ith no standard of h onour b u t i nterest, i swo rth, could he be so unbusiness-like, for we ac quit him o f co mplicity, as to omit from th e b on d anything of serious importance ? Timely pub corrected this. Might we Heap would have but have seen the s tipulations before they were unalterable hundreds of Englishmen would have demanded an engagement, in a form which oven Russian perfidy could not evade, so soon after it was made, and before the Crimea was evacuated. The blunder is in truth, a seriota one. To a above par, ' t important • w of h p os lac e s in ix g p t e w r o c f e o n r t t s r . et a ts r es e , sc m ar o o 3 e , e th ou e n c t o rY st to her future defence, in an. effici ent state of repair, we should rather say of r( Icons zucting +: nem, is a serious matter. Our secret ser' rants :however, have so managed that not only h -? .ve they secured to Turkey no indemnity for tl A rheavy expenses to which she has been put likv . the wanton aggressor, but they have al' ,owed him to saddle her with fresh charges. This innocent reli ance on the honour of a court whose pride at home is not its hour iur, but its successful A riolence and knavery, C r mold never have betrayed. us could we but have T,earned our diplomatists in time. But for t'ttet popular fatuity, or indolence rather, which tolerates a system like this, how different would I aave been the terms of th e peace ! —how different, for Poland, for Bessarabia, for the Crimea, for eircassia, for Turk'sy herself. But an end must be pu'i; to the scoffing of Premiers and their subord ; mates when our repre sentatives ask how our diplomatic account stands with foreign Powers. We are not for ever to be mocked with the reply one week, that the business is not yet complete, and the next, that it is now settled beyond our power to alter it. We must now demand to look into the diplomatic ledger at all times, and to know how we like the items as far as they are posted up. We could then generally tell how the thing was working, and make provision in time. Why should not every power on earth be told by our Ministers that they do their business as servants of the nation ; that they keep, therefore, all pro ceedings open to the nation ; that the people can canvas every step, and that none can be taken which they will not scrutinise. As to all the Cores who disapproved of this plain, the less we had to do with them the better, They could de sire secrecy for no other reason than some con templated unfairness to their own subjects or to us. We wish for no transactions with Foreign Governments which we are ashamed should see daylight as they proceed ; if they need the dark ness, we do not, and should remind them that, in our view, honesty and publicity were inse parable. HER LIAJESTrS THEATRE. "Tancredi," one of Rossini's earliest compositions, was performed here after a lapse of 18 years. This role was one of the triumphs of the great Pasta from 1825 to 182':9, and has also been performed by Malibran, Viar dot, Brambilla, Grandolphi, Cesari, and Alboni. The cast last night, although not performed by Italians, was first-rate, and highly satisfactory, not only to the general public but to the regular habitues of the opera, if we may judge from the very frequent and enthusiastic ap plause they so liberally accorded to the principal artistes concerned. The chief favourite pieces in the opera are "Di tanti palpiti" aria, "L'asciami non t'asoolto," and " M'abbraccia Argirio" duets, " Gli infelici affetti miei" quartette, "Il braccio mio conquiso" aria, " Gran Dio" aria. Besides, there was an aria from " Zelmira " in troduced. Madlle. Jenny Baur made a most interesting Amenaide. Her interpretation of this role was replete with intelligence, and the result of careful study ; her ' vocalisation was brilliant in the extreme, but partiou larly in the aria " Gran Dio," in which she fearlessly executed passages above the ledger lines with the most perfect ease and effect. In fact she shared the honours of the night with the great protagonists, Tancredi, and was recalled several times during the evening. Herr Reichardt, as Argirio, was most successful. The caba letto of the duet " M'a,bbraccia Argirio" with Biadlle. Wagner was full of vigour and taste, and was raptu rously encored ; and the introduced aria, " Sorte secon dami," was a masterpiece of the vocal art, which was duly appreciated and applauded by the audienco. Mon sieur Bouchts, as Arbazzano, was, as he always is, per fect, careful, and firm as a. rock. One of our contempo raries sass Madame Pasta made a grand tragic part of Tancredi, but that "this is one of the traditions con nected with that eminent dramatic singer which ought to be received with caution." We, who have frequently seen that truly grand artiste perform the role, can affirm that it was a superb tragic display, which never can be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to wit ness it ; but great as it was, and "green " in our me mory, we must, in justice to the talented young artiste, Johanna Wagner, say we were delighted with her splen did reading and interpretation of this highly dramatic 1014 Her recitatives were all given with extraordinary declamatory vigour, large in style, and expressive in sentiment; and her execution in several of the favourite morceaux was (considering the calibre of her voice) truly wonderful. This was most remarkable in the cabaletto to "Di tanti palpiti," and the duetto with Reichardt, " Ah se di mali mier," which were both rapturously and deservedly encored. In fact, her exertions were crowned with complete success, and she was summoned by the unanimous voice of a fashionable and crowded house seven times before the curtain. General Windham returned to his family at Myton House, near Leamington, a few days ago. He was met by a large concourse of friends, who loudly cheered him from the railway station to his residence. Jenny Lind embarked at Dover on Monday for Calais. The Great Western steamship is now lying for sale in Southampton Water. HoRSEMONGER-LA.NE GAOL.—This gaol is to be re modelled at a cost of 10,3611. by Mr. John Wilson. NAPIER AT ST. PETERSBURG.—The Flensburg Zeitung of the 17th says that Admiral Sir C. Napier is waling about at St. Petersburg in plain clothes. THE ABINGDON MURDER.—TWO memorials in favour of the commutation of the sentence of death oa Maria Farrant were forwarded yesterday to the Home office. The bar silver brought by the last West India packet was sold yesterday at 6111 per ounce, being the same price as that for the previous arrival. The Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Breton (Capt. Hawkes) is ordered to join his regiment (the 80th), which embarks for the Cape to-morrow at Liverpool. TRADE IN FRANCE.—Commercial transacti, as are at a dead calm in Paris. The harvest has commenced. In the south it is indifferent, but in the Beance, Brie, and other districts it is abundant. PORTEGIL.—The Rattler steamer has arrival with Lisbon dates to the 14th inst. She brings no news of importance. The Deputies bad voted the bill to autho rise the 330,0001. loan for Public Works. A.HCHDEA.CONDENISoN'S CASE.—Thii case commenced yesterday at Bath. The Archbishop of Canterbury pre sided in person. The proceedings were merely formal. The examination of the witnesses will commence to-day. THE SPONDON MIIADER.—The inquest on the body of Enoch Stone was resumed on Monday, and a verdict of wilful murder against some persona unknown was re turned. At the annual meeting of the Commercial Bank held yesterday, Mr. Mark Hunter presiding, the dividend de clared was at the rate of 7 per cent. for the half-year, with a bonus of 4 per cent., making altogether a distri bution of 11 per cent. for the year. A correspondent suggests that, as the merchants con nected with the Cape of Good Hope are anxious to write by the steamers shortly about to leave with troops, some special intimation from the Post - office of the period when they are likely to start would be serviceable. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH FIREARMS.—Mr. Wakley bell an inquest yesterday, at Highgate, on the body of the man who was accidentally shot by a young man named Isaac Spooner. A verdict of accidental death was returned. AUSTRALIAN AND AMERICAN MAILS.—The White Star mail packet Mermaid sailed from Liverpool yester day for Melbourne, having on board 270 passengers, a full cargo of dry goods, and the bi-monthly mails. The Atlantic leaves Liverpool for New York to-day with the mails. The Eagle will sail from the same port for Mel b•mrne on Thursday. She will take a ship's mail. Letters and papers intended for her should be marked " Per Eagle, from Liverpool." The post-office closes at 12 at noon, with late fee of ld. at 12 . 30 p.m. RECOYRRY OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—A telegraphic despatch was received yes teiday from Sydney, Cape Breton, announcing the re covery of a large portion of the submarine cable lost in an attempt to lay it in August last off Cape Breton. The only further announcement was that the cable recovered would be sent on immediately to this city. This was the cable lost from the James Adger, and was 74 miles long. The cable, previous to being shipped for this country, was insured in Loudon for $75,009. The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, to whom it was consigned, sued the Board of Underwriters in Lon don to recover this insurance, the underwriters having refused to pay it. A settlement was recently effected by the Board of Underwriters paying $69,000, and re nouncing all claim to the cable. Some two weeks since persona were sent on from New York by the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, to make efforts for the recovery of the cable, and at Caps Bretoa they chartered a vessel for the purpose, with the result as above stated. This cable was an inch in dia meter, with four conductors insulated with gutta percha. One intended as a substitute for it is now being laid by the brig Pocontus between Newfoundland and Cape Breton The recovered cable will probably be used for telegraphic purposes across some of the larger rivers or lakes of the United states,—New York .Tinto, Jaly 9. LATEST NEWS. MARSEILLES, JULY 21. The Indus has arrived from Constantinople with intelligence to the 14th. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Omer Pacha, Aali Pacha, Mehemet Kelrealy, and other persons of note were present at the grand dinner given to Marshal Pelissier by M. Thouvenel. The intelligence from the Crimea states that he evacuation of Balakiava was mnpletely ter- minated. DRESDEN, JULY 21. The Princess Margaret of Saxony was yester day betrothed to the Archduke Charles Louis, Governor of the Tyrol and the Voralberg, and second brother of the Emperor of Austria. SPAIN. The Paris Moniteur of yesterday has the follow ing despatch from Barcelona, dated Saturday last : "At 5 o'clock yesterday evening a movement took place at Barcelona. The general in command here instantly- sent his troops against the rebels, who dispersed themselves immediately, and entrenched themselves in the manufacturing quarter of the town, to the well of the Rambia. By 11 o'clock they had erected 14 barricades. At midnight the chief of these were carried by assault ; the others were not defended. "This morning tranquillityseemed to be restored, but one battalion of troops and several companies of the National Guard declared for the rebels. An order of the general immediately commanded them to dis solve themselves and lay down their arms within one hour. The disarmament was effected without re sistance. At 11 o'clock to-day new barricades were formed in the Place of the Prado. 13, noon they were forced, in performing which General Bansols was wounded. " The musketry firing still continues, but the advantage everywhere remains with the troops. The insurgents now occupy in the town only the terraces of some of the houses. The devotion which ha 3 been shown by the troops is admirable." We have received journals and letters from Mad rid up to the 18th. The Epoca states that on the (4th Gen. San Miguel, who has the halberdiers of the palace under his command, had an audience of the Queen, in which, while regretting the resigna tion of the Duke de la Vittoria, he placed his sword at her Majesty's disposal for the defence of the throne, if necessary. Gen. Mackron, who acted with great zeal against the insurgents, is to be ap pointed lieutenant-general, and the Marquises del Duero and de la Solana, Generals Ross, Dulce, Serrano, and Menevia are spoken of as likely to receive high marks of royal favour. Gen. Amero arrived from Valladolid on the 16th with three battalions and eight squadrons. He was imme diately presented to the Queen on his arrival, and declared to her that public order was perfectly se cure at Valladolid. Espartero was still at Madrid on the 17th, and it is stated that he has asked per• mission to retire to Arganda. An aide-de-camp had arrived from Valencia, announcing that public order bad been maintained there by the firm atti tude of the troops, although some attempts had been made to create a disturbance on receiving the news of the insurrection in the capital. The Gazette of the 18th publishes a series of Royal decrees superseding in their posts the Gover nors of the provinces of Grenada, Valencia, Sara gossa, Albacete, the Balearic Islands, Guadalajara, and Lerida, and appointing their successors. M. Valentia Ferraz ceased to be Inspector-Ge neral of the National Guards of Spain, and his functions were conferred, pro tempore, on M. Rios Rosas, Minister of the Interior. By another Royal decree General Prim, Count of Reuss, was removed from the government of Granada, the Queen declaring herself satisfied with his services, of which her Majesty intends again to avail herself on his return from France. The Gazette contains the following Royal decree : " Wishing to give a proof of the satisfaction I feel at the loyalty, valour, and enthusiasm displayed by the troops of all arms, composing the garrison of this capi tal, I have decreed : " Art. 1. All the generals and officers who have been wounded shall be immediately promoted to the rank above the one they occupy. " Art. 2. The soldiers who have distinguished them selves shall be decorated with the Cross of Maria Isabella Luisa, and receive a pension for life of 30 reals a month. ' Those who have been wounded shall be entitled to a pen sion of 60 reale per month, and those rendered unfit for service by their wounds to 6 reals per day. I reserve to myself, besides, the right of recompensing the exploits of general and officers conformably to the merit of each. " Art. 3. The National Guards, who, faithful to their oath, continued to perform duty in the Royal Palace, are comprised within the above provisions. "'A journal,' says the Epoca, ' found it strange that the English Minister, Lord Howden, did not appear at ' the Palace during the last events. The fact is not at all extraordinary, Lord Howden having been for some time absent from Madrid. The Representative of the British Legation, Mr. Ottway, during the absence of the Am bassador, hastened to the Palace the moment the insur rection commenced.'" The casualties of the troops are estimated at between 40 and 50 killed, and 150 wounded. The losses of the insurgents were not yet known. One of the battalion of the military which suffered most, the Ist battalion of Artillery, had 45 men hors de combat. The Royal troops engaged consisted of 13 battalions, with 50 pieces of artillery, in all about 16,000 men. The cavalry, composed of 2,000 men, was employed outside the gates in keeping up the communications between the three corps into which the Royal' forces were divided. Nineteen thousand muskets and a considerable quantity of pistols, sabres, lances, &c., had been surrendered by the National Guards and inhabit ants of Madrid. The 57,000,000 of reals forwarded from France by the Spanish Credit Mobilier Company to the Government had arrived at Madrid, and were de posited in the Court of the Palace during the in surrection. A Madrid letter of the 17th in yesterday's Moni teur, says that orders have been given there to di rect troops from the Basque provinces, from Cata lonia, from Navarre, and from Madrid itself, imme diately upon Saragossa. "In a few days from this time," adds the correspondent of the Moniteur, "we shall have news of their junction, and of the results which they will have obtained. It is thought that the command of them will be en trusted to Marshal Concha." There is no confirmation of the statement that 85 members of the Cortes have arrived at Saragossa. The French Government journals, without posi tively denying the fact, are instructed to throw doubt upon it. They all say, in nearly identical terms, that O'Donnell's cavalry being master of the country surrounding Madrid, would not probably have allowed so many deputies to leave the city. Of the 12 captain-generals now commanding pro vinces in Spain, seven were appointed under the exclusive influence of O'Donnell, and five upon the recommendation of Espartero. One of these latter is the Lieut.-General Falcon, Captain-General of Arragon, upon whom the hopes of the insurrection now seem mainly to rest. His appointment was greatly opposed by O'Donnell, and Espartero oniy obtained it by impressing his firm determination that it should be made. Entire families from Barcelona arrived at Mar seilles on the 19th, having fled from that city on account of the great fermentation which reigned there. PROCLAMATION OF THE PATRIOTIC LEADERS AT SARAGOSSA. At Saragossa, on the 15th, immediately after the reception of the news from Madrid, all the mili tary, political, and civil authorities of the province and city, as well as the chiefs of the National Guard, assembled at the palace of the Captain- General of Arragon, and in a sitting presided over by the functionary voted the following proclama tion : " Inhabitants of the province of Saragossa,—A shameful attack upon the cause of liberty has been committed in the capital of the kingdom. The man who in 1854 drew the sword in the name of the law, bas to day forcibly taken possession of the <.zovernment of the nation in contempt of that law. He does not fear to shed the blood of the people that be may substitute his arbitrary power for the national sovereignty. " The city of Saragossa, ever heroic and the firmest rampart of liberty, cannot remain indiffer ent in the presence of such an attempt ; it must constitute itself in open opposition to the ministry with the unshaken resolve not to lay down arms until the liberty of the country is safe. " In bringing events and resolutions so grave to our knowledge, the Junta of Saragossa invites you , to rise as one man, to gather round it and hold yourselves ready to resist the power which seeks to impose upon us, by grape shot, its absolute will. But the Junta cannot abstain at the same time from recommending you to proceed with the greatest moderation, avoiding all that may compromise the sacred cause you are callei upon to defend. " Consider the advantage which our enemy would gain from the slightest excess on your part, and the joy with which he would see anarchy glide r in amongst us. All this would but give too many opportunities for legitimising his intervention. - Liniou and rersieteace to the Miaietry o the _ . Count de Lueena, and we shall save liberty from the dangers which menace it. " President, ANTONIO FALCON. Vice-President, FALICIANO PoLo. " Members—Manuel Gorriga, Joaq num Marin,.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 14.—Another atrocious crime has been committed near the capital, on board the English barque the Globe. She had a mixed crew, the master, the mate, two sailors, and a boy being English, and the five other sailors Italians—namely, three Neapolitans, a Venetian, and a Triestine. These latter determined to assassinate all the English on board, take away whatever they could, and make their escape in the boat. The. vessel was coming in from the Black Sea to the Bosphorus when they re salved to carry out their design. They had carefully prepared everything, and went even so far as to secure all the table knives which could have served as arms, About 3 o'clock in the morn ing, on Monday last, the boy awoke, hearing a groan near him, and, looking up, he saw one of the Italians busy cutting the throat of one of the English sailors, who was asleep. The boy, fright ened, rushed to the cabin where the master and the mate (his brother) were sleeping to give the alarm ; they had only just time to shut themselves up in the cabin when the murderers, having shot the other English sailor who was at the wheel, came up and tried to force the door. Seeing that they could not succeed, they lowered the boat, took with them whatever they could lay hands on, and pushed off for the Asiatic coast. When they were gone the master and mate brought in the vessel with great difficulty,'and gave information of what had happened to Admiral !Grey and the Turkish authorities of the port. The Admiral sent off im mediately the Recruit, one of the Prussian gun boats, in pursuit of the fugitives, while the Turks gave a detachment of marine soldiers. After followinc , the coast .for about thirty miles, they got the first information at a place called Shivi, where three European sailors had been seen. A party of soldiers was landed, who attacked them, and two were captured and identified by the master. The third escaped. While this party was chasing these three the Recruit went on to the next place and caught another. There are indications that the fifth man has been murdered by his accomplices. The Recruit has brought back the three who were caught, and they will, I hear, be sent to Malta to be tried there. _ _ On Saturday, at 3 o'clock a.m., the town of Pera was put in commotion by the cries of " Fire," and before two hours had passed six wooden houses in one of the narrowest streets were burnt down, in spite of the speedy assistance which English, French, and Turkish engines rendered. The fire was only stopped by the storehouses on each side. While the fire lasted the plate of Major Brett, who lives in the same street, but was that day in the country, was stolen. The practice is on these oc casions to remove as much as possible from the neighbouring houses. This was done in Major Brett's house, and when the things were taken back again the plate-chest had disappeared, toge ther with that officer's Indian medals. RUSSIA. Lady Wodehouse was presented on the 14th inst. to the Empress of Russia, and the Grand Duchesses Alexandra Josephovna, Alexandra Pe trovna; and Marie Nieolaievna ; and Lord Wode house, on the same day, was presented to the Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaievitch, and the Grand Duch esses Alexandra Petrovna and Marie Niculaievna. THE JULY FETES AT BRUSSELS. The following is the speech of the King of the Belgians in reply to the addresses of the members of the Senate and of the. Chamber of Representa tives on the 21st inst. : " Monsieur le President du Senat, Monsieur le Pre sident de la Cbambre des Representatives— "l am profoundly touched by the noble sentiments which you have just expressed to me in language so affec donate and elevated. I think I may recall on this solemn occasion a passage of the discourse of the 21st July, 1831 :--‘ I have only accepted the crown you offered me with a view of fulfilling a task as noble as it is useful—that of being called to consolidate the institutions of a generous people, and to maintain their independence.' The accomplishment of this great mission met with numerous difficulties. The indepen dence of this good people, achieved only as it were, the day before, presented itself as a problem before Europe, distrustful and disquieted. Their free institutions, frunded without any intervention of Royalty, had not then received the consecration of experience ; their improvized administraion awaited the reform of their organic laws ; opinions were divided by im passioned appeals and jealous influences ; and material interest, suddenly disturbed, felt alarm for the future. Soon, however, thanks to the good spirit of the country, order and unity appeared in the midst of this temporary confusion ; doubts and disquietude were succeeded by cmfidence and security. Strengthened in the interior by the orgaoiFation of its different administrations, and by the foundation of a national dynasty, the country ceased to be in a state of fatal isolation, and saw its independence guaranteed by the most solemn treaties. An intelligent activity was given to werks of public utility. The existence of an army strong by instruction and discipline was as sured. The sources of public prosperity were reopened. Cornmerze and manufactures were developed with a rapidity almost prodigious, and that old and precious industry of the country, agriculture, followed the move ment by prudent ameliorations. Letters, science, and the arts shone as in the best days of our history. A trial, however, still awaited our nationality ; a crisis broke out profound and universal ; but even in that crisis Belgium knew how to find new force, give new proofs of her vitality, and acquire new titles to ge neral esteem. I take pleasure in ascribing to the na tion itself the honour of a privileged situation, which seems to defy the boldness of our hopes. The an cient morality of the Belgian populations, their pro. found sentiment of duty, their good sense, their practical intelligence, their deference for the paternal views of their King—all these qualities united have powerfully contributed to cause them to avoid the dangers of being led away by exaggerations, and to make them recognise instinctively the true conditions of our political exist ence. Gentlemen, since 1830 Belgium hag been able in moral order as well as in material order, to acconap lish the labour of an entire century. There remains to us a duty to fulfil—to pursue, and-to achieve, in the same spiritas that which presidedover it at the commencement, the work of ouryoungand brilliant civilisation. In the past it was union which constituted our strength in the days of triumph of our nationality, and it was by it that in the days of trial it became reinvigorated. Fur the future it is still in union that resides the secret of our prosperity, our grandeur, and our duration. Let us seal anew the alliance between the nation and the dy nasty of its choice. Let us strengthen the union of all the members of the great Belgian family in common devotion to our beautiful country. Let us incline our selves before Divine Providence, who holds in his hands the destinies of Rations, and who, in its impenetrable designs, has called to itself a beloved Queen; whose ab sence alone renders incomplete the joys of this memor able day?' The King of the - Belgians - received at a solemn audience on Sunday at the Palace of Brussels the Earl of Westmoreland, envoy extraordinary of the Queen of England, wh o presen t e d a l e tter, in which her Britannic Majesty congratulates the King on the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne. EGYPT. A LEXANDRIA, .July 21.—Six boxes of letters, forming part of the India mail closed in London on tlie 26th of June; have been left behind in Egypt, and will be forwarded only with the next 'nail. They consisted of one box for Calcutta, two for Madras, one for Bombay, one for the Mauritius, and one for the Reunion. The cause of this unto ward event was that one of the camels laden with these boxes, being a wild unmanageable animal, strayed away from the other camels and was not found until 24 hours after. The steamer Cadiz, which might have left Suez for BOmbay with the mails on the 7th was detained until the evening of the Bth, but as no traces of the missing camel had been discovered she had to start without them. Recent i n telligence received. from AmbiA 'tato that the last Scheriff appointed by the Sultan to Mecca, Mohamed Ben Aavoon, had finally suc ceeded in asserting his rights in that country, and that his predecessor, Aboo Moottalib, who had en deavoured to make a stand against the Sultan's authority, had surrendered to the Turkish troops, and was to have been sent to Egypt via Cosseir. Aboo Moottalib, then reduced to his last extre mity, had taken refuga in the town of Tait, which the Sultan's soldiers surrounded, when the inhabi tants of the town offered to give the Scheriff up under guarantees of security to themselves, which waF,'; BiVeii. ft is hoped that this part of Arabia will now be enabled to enjoy some of the blessings cf peace, as it has been for a considerable time in a state of great anarchy and civil warfare. Prices of produce in Egypt are being run up very high. .Freights are also better. exchange, 101 piastres per pound sterling. The harvests throughout Syria aro this year very abundant, and the silk crap had also been very good. RESIDENT MINISTERS-RESIDENT MIS- CHIEF-MAKRRS. If there had been no Mr. Crampton in this country there would have been no fuss ; and no Mr. Dallas in England, no danger of his dismis , al. It is high time, in a word, that the flaunting pomp and political jobbing of our diplomatic missions were knocked in the head. It is utterly false that the American Ministers to France or England have the slightest value in promoting what is called good feeling. In the first place, good feeling should spring from our self-respect, and if we have that, and suet international comity be wanting, we need not care. And as for a resident Minister doing any service in case of a menace difficulty it is all sham. The peace of this country with Western Europe is solely maintained because it is the interest of the parties to keep the peace, and not because there is a legation in the Faubourg St. Room 4 or Euston-square or at 'Washington. When resident diplomats were instil uted there was little inter course between nations. Some sailors at the ports, and some of the nobility and gentry on the grand tour, formed the entire number of travellers, and constituents of intersocial life between whatever nations. More Ame ricans go to Europe in a week now than went from Eng land to France in a year a century and a half since. In Shakepere's time the intercourse between England and France was similar to that now existing between Oregon and Central Africa. Indeed, it does not appear that the greatest ma❑ England ever produced ever crossed the Channel, though we judge from his "Lear " that he had stood on Dover Cliffs. Thus, when intercourse properly speaking had no existence between the two nations, diplo macy was at its height. In the extent and splendour of his retinue, the ambassador was only second to the mo narch—to the incarnated grandeur of the entire nationa'• mind and force. It ought to strike every one bat poll ticians in office, who are always the last persons to corn' prehend economic illumination and the prophetic novelty of any epoch, that although ambassadors, when people did not travel, were necessary, American ambassadors are not necessary now when people like the Americans do travel. But every American who travels to spend money (and all do spend it), every cash and cotton freighted steamer that shoots athwart the main is infi nitely a better ambassador for the purpose of keeping the peace than all the spangled perfidies of old diplomats, who never were anything else but spies of the peace es tablishment, while history shows that the slights offered to them more than once led to the wars which they were intended to avert ; in the same way that the Crampton affair would years ago have led to a war that would have been impossible if the Eng lish had no so-considered peace dispensing repre presentative in this country ; and in the same way that the Ostend Manifesto, concocted by Buchanan, Soule, and Mason, because they had nothing else to do beside the dirty work of Franklin Pierce, would have led to war, equally impossible if the trio had been kept at home. Mr. Benton and Mr. Badger are the only eminent members of the National Legislature who have had the manliness to characterise our system of resident Ministers as a useless institution--a mere means for re warding partisans, pampering political wire-pullers, and robbing the public. Under these circumstances it would be well, now that England has no representative in this country, to recall Mr. Dallas, with a view of breaking up the whole system of resident Ministers, and depending on the ocean mail service, and, at rare occa sions, a special minister for our entire diplomatic inter course in future.—New York, Tribune, REPRESENTATION OF FROIfE. FROME, Tuesday.—At about five o'clock it was an nounced that Lord Edward Thynne's friends considering that his chances of success were not such as to warrant him in going to the poll, his lordship had withdrawn fr Ira the contest, which, therefore, lay between Mr. D.

A meeting of the Unity Joint-Stock Mutual Banking Company took place yesterday, when resolutions were passed authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for increasing the capital as occasion may require to 2,000,0001. by the issue of 17,000 additional shares of 1001. each, 501. to be paid up. It was explained that not more than about one-third of the shares will be issued for the present, as the capital will be created only as the in creasing business of the company may require or the establishment of branches may present prospects of suc cess. The first issue will be limited to 3,000, to be divided pro recta among the existing shareholders. 0 , )- jections were raised to the establishment of numerous branches, but it was intimated that if any when start e d shall n o t prove remunerative they will be immediately elose(1. When the prospectus of the Unity Bank was issued in April last a doubt was expressed whether its proposal for an equal division of profits between shareholdo rs an d customers could be carried out without rendering the latter equally liable with the shareholders fur all the debts of the concern. Subsequently, however, a state ment was put forth that an unanimous opinion had been obtained from Sir Richard Bothell and Messrs. Willes and Cooper that it would not have that result. Owing to the important bearing of the matter on the question of limited liability, some reference was recently made to it in the House of Commons, and the case. and opinions, in the form in which they were laid before the Board of Trade, were ordered to be printed on the motion of Mr. L owe . These have made their appearance as a Parlia mentary paper, and are to the effect that " the receipt by a c ustomer in the manner proposed, of annu a l or h a lf-yearlyinterest on his minimum or other balances for the preceding year, will not render such customer either directly or indirectly liable as a partner of the Bank."—Times. DR. RAE AND THE ARCTIC EXP EDI TIOZCS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, —In the Times report of Lord Wrottesley's speech in the House of Lords on Friday last, on the subject of Arctic Expeditions, his Lordship remarks that at lone time I was within 50 miles of the place where, by Es quimau% report, about 40 white men had perished, but that, unfortunately, although amply provided with means, I did not consider it necessary to visit the spot. I beg to say that when I was within 50 miles of the place alluded to I was not aware that it was the locality where the dead bodies of our unfortunate countrymen had been found by the Esquimaux, and it was not until after my return to Repulse Bay, in the end of May, that I received information en this point. I ought perhaps to have been more explicit in my r(.. port on this subject, but I could not imagine that any one would believe me to be so utterly indifferent to the fate of Sir J. Franklin and his party (to search for whom I had been four seasons employed by her Ma jest's Government), or so perfectly careless of my own interest, as to leave a question of so much importance undecided,-if a walk of 50 or 100 miles could have set it at rest. There is nothing new in this accusation being brough t against me, but hitherto it has appeared in such a form that it would be stooping too low for a person even in my position publicly to notice it. Your obedient servant, London, July 21. J. RAE. PLOSPECTS OF THE SPORTSMAN.—Tbe shooting sea son now approaching, sportsmen's prospects excite at tention. We have reports from the principal moors and forests in this and the adjoining counties. These ac counts speak of disease baying been to a slight extent prevalent among the gro use i n t h e earlier dry months of spring. The rains of May and June, however, stopped the epidemic in the old birds, but proved very injurious to hatching, and subsequently to the young broods, especially on the higher grounds. In the valleys ap• pearances are more favourable, pretty large broods having been seen looking strong and well advanoed,-- .61gin Courant, Sporting Intelligence. Many inquiries having been made to us respecting the scratching of Courteuay for the Northumberland Plate, we applied to the Clerk of the Course for the de sired information, and he sends us the following : " Courtenay was struck cut of the Northumberland Plato on Friday, June 20, at 10 a.m. "JOHN GBAY, Clerk of Course. `t Newcastle, July 22, 1856." 0 ['ELMSFORD RACES-YESTERDAY. The races seem likely to wind up merrily the festivities which attended the Agricultural Show. The course was thronged with pleasure folk ; indeed, on no former anni versary of the meeting was the attendance of general company so numerous. A warm sunny day, too, materially contributed to heighten the enjoyment of the sport. The success of Polestar for the handicap was, as the betting indicated, a " foregone conclusion." The mare won cleverly, and she was Ly many regarded with not a tittle interest and curiosity, from the fact of her having belonged to l'almer's victim—the late Mr. J. P. Cook. Her name, too, has been rendered familiar to the public in consequence of frequent reference having been made to it during the progress of Palmer's trial. The races came off as under : The Galleywood Stakes of_3 . sovs each, with 25 added. The New Mile. 3 subs. Mr. Thorpe's Little Tom, aged (301.), 7st 71b (D.

On going down the hill at the back of the coarse, Tug•o'•War took up the running, and Polestar went on second, Sirocco, Winkfield, and Pembedw being next. At the distance Winkfield dropped backed beaten. Polestar waited on Tug-o'-War until nearly opposite the stand, when she made her effort, and von cleverly by half a length. Pembedw was a very bad third, and Sirocco fourth. The others, pulling up, passed the post thus—Hum boldt fifth, Veteran sixth, Winkfield seventh, and Emu lous gelding last. Sirocco ran in his shoes, and threw one of them on going down the hill. Before the race 100 to 6 was taken about Polestar for the Gi odwood Stakes—after it 100 to 7 was taken.

Last year Quince and Heroine (first and second) were my selection for the Stakes, and Earocino for the Cup. lam equally certain of success again, although in opposition to the betting.
