Sun Office, 112, Strand. 4 .4>. 1 1,1 4 t iTt LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1856 "The rose by any other name will smell as sweet ;" and a democratic President may be, to all intents and purposes, as tyrannical and over bearing as the veriest despot, even as the AUTO CRAT par excellence. General P/ERCII is making the most of his brief tenure of office, and ruling with a rod of iron those who have the misfortune to be placed under his control and direction. Like the unjust steward, he is making to himself friends of the mammon of unrighteousness. He has accepted a retainer from the pro-slavery party, and is apparently determined to go the entire animal on their side. They themselves have ex hibited a degree of energy and zeal worthy a better cause. They have, without the slightest warrant, entered on a war of extermination—not against the coloured population, whom they have hitherto treated as beings of an inferior order, without any of the claims or privileges of huma nity ; but against their fellow-citizens, who are as fully entitled as themselves to State protection and all the benefits of the existing laws. Thty are, in fact, treating the Free-soil settlers as men whom they may rob or even murder with impu nity ; and the Government accepts their defini tion, treating them as " insurgents," and their acts of self-defence as rebellion against the mljesty of the law. It is indeed a high bribe, not merely promised, but actually paid in advance, to the planters for their votes and interest at the approaching Presi dential election. The Autocrat PiEram has rendered Mini& as completely the humble servant of the plantation owners as if ho had been set up and sold by auction to the highest bidder. He is prepared to do their dirty work, whatever it may be, even to the extent of declaring war against the Free•soil party, and marching the Federal troops against those by v‘hom they are paid and supported. The wisdom and propriety of taking on the Kansas rider to the Army Appropriation Bill is thus clearly manifested ; and it is only to be re gretted that the patriotic members of the Housi of Representatives, or rather some few of the number, suffered themselves to be defeated by the insidious schemes of the Executive and of the Senate. But matters cannot long go on in their present state. If there is indeed to be an inter necine war—if " Civil dissension, with its vip'rons tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the common weal," is to prevail, the North must prepare itself for the contest which it has not provoked, but which has been forced upon it by the insolent audacity of the planters, and the criminal connivance of the Government. If " a house or a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand," much less can "United States," where each division is pulling against the other, and the interests and feelings of one party are diametrically opposed to those of the other. It is now evident that the Federal Union between such conflicting elements cannot last—that twenty-five millions of free born men will not submit to be bullied and in sulted by an insignificant minority, who, unless sustained by the connexion, could not hold their own for a single year. An oligarchy such as that virtually established by the blaveowners is more hateful even than a despotism. In place of one, there are many tyrants. Every wholesome law is set aside, or, still worse; prostituted from its legitimate purposes to the use of the three hun dred thousand tyrants. The Free-soilers would indeed be contemptible if they succumbed to such unreasonable and unauthorised domination. As we have repeatedly stated, they hold th e remedy in their own hands, and can apply it at SHE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVEININ/Gr SEP:EMBER, 28, 18s any moment they think proper. All they have to do is to proclaim b. d issolution of the Union — to declare that they will no longer hold friendly intercourse with the piratical invaders of S.ansai, and all they require will be accomplished. The slaveowuers will speedily be compelled "to eat humble pie," and to endeavour to make the best terms they can in order to break their fall. So long as the Northerns sanction the existing state of affairs they are practically re sponsible for all the iniquities of the " Domestic Institution." Without their participation it would fall by its own weight ; it could not long survive the trials to which it would be el:posed ; and the temporary triumph of the slave owners, and the undue partiality of the PIERCE Govern 11,ent, may possibly be the greatest advantage to the cause of suffering humanity. They have ren dered a crisis inevitable, and that must be fatal to the principle of compulsory servitude. At present, according to the dictum, of Messrs. PIERCE, MARCY, DAVIS, and Co., the Free-soilers are " rebels and insurgents." But what will they be in three months time? They must either change their position in the State or separate. There is no other alternative, unless they are prepared to sacrifice their honour and independ ence by conniving at the foul and abominable system which their souls abhor. Whatever course they decide on must forthwith be adopted. The superior activity of their opponents has hitherto placed them in the best position. But we are greatly deceived if the Northern determination be not eventually more than a match for Southern ntrigue and arrogance. The impending despatch of an Anglo-French squadron to the Bay of Naples suggests to us the somewhat vague promise of the grandiloquent showman to his gaping audience, " You shall see what you shall see." Not that we have the shadow of a doubt as to the good effects such a demonstration, if made with an honest purpose, is calculated to produce. Far from it. All along the despatch in question has been urged in these columns. The only doubt, and a serious one it is, that clouds our minds is as to the intentions of what a French contemporary is pleased to de scribe as " the Allied Courts." What are the ob jects contemplated in the intervention, as it must be regarded ? What are likely to be the results ? It is in reply to these questions we are tempted to apply the words of the showman, and hazard, as we may safely do, the prediction, " You shall see what you shall see t" The English Government may probably be credited with some sort of philanthropic feeling in the matter, as one, though far from the only e* chief, motive for action. It might pass for a qualified insult, if we said no such motive can be supposed in the least to influence our Imperial ally. We come then to the insults offered to both " Courts," and here we should discover a powerful motive to conjoint action, had we not been assured that France and England were above any insult BONLBA could offer—an assertion apparently verified by a most patient endur ance of an uninterrupted series of insults. We are led, therefore, to a consideration of the danger King BOMBA. occasions to the peace of Europe by perseverance in the revolting cruelties and oppression which have consigned his name to universal infamy, and enlisted on behalf of his sub jects the sympathies of one-half of the human race ; and here we find an adequate motive for Napoleonic and Pa.lmerstouian intervention, were there no other, for it is a selfish one. The peace of Europe undoubtedly is endangered by the ob stinacy of the tyrant, for at any moment the Same of insurrection way burst out at Naples, and on that parched prairie to which despotism has converted the continent the fire might spread with the velocity of the tempest, and en wrap all despots and despotisms with its consuming wings. Doubtless it is this motive which has induced the Emperor NAPOLEON to join his forces with ours, though possibly his Spanish policy may have had some influence. A sagacious des pot will never be without sops for freemen. Let me alone here, and I'll join you there, may have been one of the conditions to the conjoint action of " the Allied Courts." The motive being selfish, and the peace of Europe being meant, at the utmost latitude of interpretation, to imply the preservation of its despotisms, what have the Neapolitans to look for at the hands of " the Allied Courts ?" there is some significancy in the expression, even corn ing from th• Dirbats. Liberty ? Bosh. That must COME) from themselves. What the Neapolitans would seem to be entitled, under the circumstances, to expect is, either the momentary submission of their tyrant to the requirements of the Allied Courts, under the pressure of coward fear—or, in the event of a successful revolt, the substitu tion of a milder despotic sway, without their being much consulted in•the choice. The proba bility is that their execrable tyrant, after a little dallying, will "do the penitent"—issue an am• nesty—promise to "be good" for the future— and, after " taking a sight" at the retreating fleets, will resort gradually to his old practices, i. e., if the people be now quiet, and no great Dalian movement interveno. This view is favoured by the appearance of an Austrian En coy at the Neapolitan Court. None know better than Austria and her ducal sycophants, COBURGS, and what not, how to interpose the diplomatic shield between , a tyrant and the ministers of justice. Austria is certainly at her dirty work. If the Neapolitans understand their own inte- rests they will avail themselves to the utmost of the present opportunity, and rise in arms against their tyrant. The more they do for themselves the more they will assuredly gain. Their ex ample may be followed throughout Italy, in which case they may be enabled to dispense with foreign ilictation as to their future. Should this hope fail the more imposing their attitude is, the more liberal will be the form of Government tendered for their acceptance. Of one thing let them rest assured—the EMPEROR, our ally, does not contem plate their having, if any plausible excuse of his can prevent it, any more liberty than is possessed by his subjects. England, to be sure, ought to have something to say in the matter—that she shall, depends on the people of the Two Sicilies. Let them but command by their attitude the respect and sympathy of Englishmen, and Lord PALMERSTON will have to go further than, in all probability, he intended. The great defect, unfortunately, in the Italian movement is the absence of accord in relation to the future. The truest patriot is he who is prepared to subordi nate his preferences to the general wish, and th• most injurious ally lie who would force the views of a minority on the majority. Itie regret to announce the death of the C iuntess (Dowager) of liovvtb, who expired on Friday last at Kingston, near Dublin, in the 82d year of her age.

To-day there was apatite levee at the Kremlin, a._ which the clergy and many of the Boyards paid their respects to the Czar and the Czarina. The ceremonies and rejoicings and shows to celebrate the Coronation will occupy the whole of the month till the 30th, and the programme thus arranges them :—Monday, 15th, Dinner to Ambassadors ; 16th, Ambassadors' Ball ; 17th, Field Day, and Dinner to the Army, given by the merchants of Mosco w ; 18th, Ambassadors' Ball; 19th, Manceu vras and Field Day, 100,000 men ; 20th, Levee, 'rand Duke Heritier's Birthday, Ball to the Nobility ; 21st, Levee, Grand Duke Constantine's birthday, levee, and Ambassador's dinner. 22d, A.mbassadors' ball. 23d, Dinner given by the Go vernor-General of Moscow. 24th, People's fete — dinner in the plain to 200,000 people. 25th, Am bassador's dinner. 26th, Bal masque for the peo ple at the Kremlin. 27th, Ambassadors' din ner. 28th, Marshal of the Coronation's ball, tc. 29th, Ambassadors' dinner. 30th,. The grand fete of fireworks and final illumination. It will be observed by this list that the " people" are more considered in Russia than one could have expected ; and, indeed, it has been the subject of general remark here among strangers that the lower orders are allowed great freedom in their approach to the person of the Czar, and in all shows and ceremonies. I fear a bal masque for the people at Buckingham Palace would be rather a turbulent affair, but there is no great chance of the truth of the apprehension being tested. It somewhat contrasts with this freedom to read in the papers which have just arrived from Eng land of the railing off and barricading the people at the various railway stations during her Ma jesty's progress northwards, and it makes one regret that such restraints should be necessary to insure the Queen from annoyance and unbe coming pressure when she leaves her palace. The courts of the Kremlin are crowded all day by the poorest peasantry, but so far from crushing and squeezing to get near the Imperial family there is a perfect propriety of demeanour i among them all when the Czar or any of the Romanoffs appear; every head is uncovered, and a chorus of voices exclaim, "Long live the Czar," or whoever it may be, but no one attempts to rushfor ward and stare curiously at them, or to cause them any inconvenience by undue familiarity. It is, per haps, because they are allowed such freedom—.be cause there is a thoroughfare through the courts of the Kremlin, only one, a small enclosure railed off from the palace, being forbidden to carriages —that such decency is preserved. Indeed, the Kremlin is a kind of popular lounge, and the poor mujik saunters in there to gaze on the beautiful panorama spread out before him, or to wait long hours in the hopes of feasting his eyes on the Emperor, just as the denizen of St. Giles seeks a relief from his dreary room in the splendour and excitement of the gin palace. At reviews he stands in the front line, amid generals, officers, ladies, and nobles, be having himself properly, with a quiet satisfaction and enjoyment. It was just this very day two years ago that the Allies landed at Old Forb, and were rudely inaugu rated into the business of campaigning by bivouack ing on the bare plain without any tents, under a tremendous fall of rain, which still further developed the fatal influences of the cholera among them. Little any one of them ever thought that he would have been fiddling and dancing away in a friendly manner in the Palace of the Kremlin so soon after wards. It was a few hours later than this that the Czar received at first with incredulity, and then with an anger and astonishment which shook that giant frame like a child's, the news of the descent on the Crimea. Bursting into the Empress's apartment, he exclaimed, " This, this is more than a man can bear 1" for up to the last he had neglected the warnings and entreaties of Prince Menschikoff, and had obstinately insisted that the Allies would operate on the Danube, and not against Sebastopol. His pride, his self confidence had received a rude shock—his Guards were in Poland, his armies were gather ing on the frontier, and suddenly an active enemy strikes him where he was least prepared and little expected the blow. Yet a few months more and his son announces to him the ar rival of a messenger wit`it despatches of importance from the Crimea. "They are nothing to me now," feebly articulates the Emperor ; " I have made my peace, I trust, with Heaven, and I have no more to do with the affairs of this world ; open, read them, and do as you think best.". So great was his self-control that he did - not make an inquiry as to their contents, although they related to the matters which had interested him and affected him most in the course of a long and not uneventful reign. Oh si sic omnia. The peculiar circumstances of the late Czar's death have attached to it a melancholy interest in the eyes of his people, and they show it on all occa sions by their profound respect for his widow. Wherever the Empress Mother appears she is re ceived with every demonstration of affection and regard. People recollect her affection for the Cz tr, her excellent qualities as a wife and as a mother, and her virtues of patience and love, sometimes, as in the case of the poorest, severely tried and tested is rude encounters. Since the day of the dreadful military revolt and conspiracy which marked the beginning of the Emperor's reign,e heart, she has been sub o j n e l c y t e t u o r n p e ri r e v i o n u g s totho palpitations w iio of th know the state of her health that the Empress has and survived such severe trials, and outlived her beloved. The day before the coronation all admission was refused to the Church of the Kremlin, but I managed, nevertheless, through the kindness of a general officer, to get in to have a glimpse of the splendour prepared for the morrow. It was like a peep behind the scenes of a theatre —rough artizans were still at work planing wood, hammering, and chopping in the sacred edifice—ships lay on the holy seat of the metropolitan—the floor was here and there littered with tag ends of velvet and gold brocade—the thronesthemselves. But hark! there is a noise at the outer gate of the church, and a faint roll of drums. The attendant runs to unbar the door, and presently there enters, borne in a chair by four servants in the Imperial livery, an elderly lady, whose countenance is marked with a meAanoholy resignation, and the traces of suffer ing and disease. A few officers and chamberlains follow her—the chair is gently Oiet down close to the Imperial throne ; the lady closes her eyes and seems to prai ferteutly. What visions may arise in this silent church before those dimmed orb s t When last she was here it was to receive the crown of an Empress from the hands of the departed Ccesar. Gently clasping her hands she turns her eyes up wards, looks around the blaze of gold and finery, and, as if satisfied with one glance, beckons to her servants to take up the chair, and is carried out of the church in silence. The care and motherly love of the Empress-Dowager is rewarded by the affection of the Czar and of all her children. There is some talk of thc..), Imperial family remain ing in Moscow, or rather of their visiting it more frequently than they used to do in the lifetime of Nicholas. Nothing could be more grateful to the old Muscovite party ; but it is thought that ' if the present Emperor carried out the intention attributed to him, it certainly would not be from any desire to win the favour of the high Conservative and obstructive section of his subjects, who hate peace, and railways, trade, commerce, and are opposed to all internal im proTement. It would not be wonderful, indeed, if a man got tired of St. Petersburg—its quays, it long straight streets, half deserted, its Neva, and its population of soldiers, sailors, and civil employes. To the Russian there is a historic inte rest attached to the Kremlin and to Moscow which its rival can never excite. It is the cradle of his glory, the palladium of his race. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. The ball last night was very brilliant and well attended. Lord and Lady Granville, and the other members of the English Embassy were pre sent, with the exception of the Marquis of Stafford and Sir R. Peel. In addition to the dancing there was whist-playing, ecarte, and lansquenet for those who liked it. The Emperor was unusually affable and unreserved, and spoke to most of the Minis ters, particularly M. de Morny, at some length. The deputations from the various Governments, in presenting bread and salt to the Emperor on his coronation, offered them on gold salvers and dishes. About 400 of these were laid before his Majesty on Sunday week ; and it is estimated that the total value of the gold and silver is not less than 5,000,000 silver rubles. cast, Itna steel FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The French ultimatum addressed to Naples, if not already despatched, is certainly on the eve of departure. It is ready, if not sent. It is said that some faint hope is founded on Baron Hilbner's intercession, but it is very slight, and shared by fot. The tone of the Paris papers of to-day shows that the belief is general that France and England have abandoned fruitless remonstrances for positive demonstrations. It is stated that Ajaccio is to be the rendezvous of the combined squadrons, and that the French ships will leave Toulon imme diately. They consist of the Bretagne, carrying the flag of Admiral Trehouart, the Ulm, Algeciras, Napoleon, ships of the line, and of the Isly, Du chayla, and Were, steam-frigates and corvettes. BOURSE.—The apprehensions produced by the Neapolitan difficulties, and still more so by the monetary crisis which has commenced in Germany and Belgium, have produced a sort of panic upon the French market.

It consisted of Sheridan Knowles' play of "Love," with Mrs. Waller as the countess, and a new bttrlesque founded on Bheridan's play of "Pizarro." The attraction in the first instance, to us, was the per formance of the lady, certainly not the play, for we ens sider ' Love' l to be one of Sheridan Knowlee's failures. In sustaining the part of the proud countess Mrs. Waller exhibited great taste and feeling, albeit, we think, she scarcely gave her passion " rein enough ;" but, taken as a whol , :, the performance was a delightful and pleasing one. Mr. B. Sullivan sustained the part of loon very excellently ; but with this character we find the same fault as with that of the coun %ess, namely, its want of filling up. The play s followed by the burlesque, which, with such a could scarcely fail to meet with decided success. „line Keeley as Pizarro, attired in black velvet, with breastplate, helmet, and gauntlets, and a pair of ,mreenTo leather boots ; and Mrs. Keeley, in a sky-blue over-coat lined with crimson, as Rolla. The applause and laughter that greeted both of these talented artistes can be easily guessed. Tho other parts of the burlesque were cleverly sustained by Mrs. Frank Matthews, Miss Cleveland, and Mr. G. Honey. The plot of the original play has been closely followed by the author, and had a little originality been introduced into the burlesque it would not have suffered by it. The scenery was exceed. ingly beautiful, and the evolutions of the female army of Peruvian warriors was rapturously applauded. The house was fully and fashionably attended. ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND NAPLES. The itoutntt/ deg Debuts of yesterday contains the subjoined retriatits on the demonstration about to be made in the IJay of Naples ! -- )5 , a combined Eng lish and French squadron i--; "We are informed that the piece of rendezvous for the English and French forces will he at Ajaccio. Tomor row or the day after the French fleet will quit Toulon. One of the ships will carry a tlaurier of the Ni.inistry of Foreign Affairs, bearing instruction to M. Brenier. After the response, already anticipates beg been made to the ,'leroands /authorised by these instructions, diplo matic relations will be entirely suspended. IT, Brenier will retire cn board the Allied fleet, which will :make arrangements to remain in the They of Naples, with 00 object of protecting the national interocie, "The King of Naples has left his capital, and is sojourning at Gaeta ;: it is there, it is said, that ho will receive the representations of the allied Powers." " The language of the representatives of France and England was of a character to excite hopes the more readily received inasmuch as they were unexpected. At the, same time it was merely wise not to indulge them too freely, for it was clear that in proportion as Austria con curred in the proceeding no serious benefit could accrue to the Italian population. The attempt at remonstrance was made by the Western Powers ; and it appears that they had recourse to the good offices of Austria to act upon the Neapolitan Government. The attempt has failed, and the Governments of France and England have now determined to act alone." " It is said that in a few days the 2lfoniteur will pub lish a note to show the object and meaning of the resolu tion taken by the allied Courts. That note will probably be couched in terms not of a character to encourage any revolutionary movement. It is probable that it will re , semble the language held by Lord Clarendon and Count Walewski in tue Congress, and that it will repeat the statement that the two Courts interfere in the affairs of Naples entirely in a conservative spirit, and to maintain and not to disturb European order—in fact, the inter vention will be an energetic protest against all attempts at disorder. " The menace to the King of Naples will not be per haps as serious as it appears, and the demonstration of the two Powers will doubtless retain for a long time a negative character. If that demonstration has been unexpectedly hastened, we must attribute it perhaps to those Parliamentary exigencies which the English Mi nister has to take into account." A NEW DANUBIAN DIFFICULTY. It has been already mentioned that great opposi tion had been made by the Austrian government to the concession granted to Captain Magnan by Prince Ghika before his removal from power, for a line of French steamers to run on the Pruth and the Sereth, and that the Porte has since cancelled the permission given. The following is a letter addressed on the Bth August by M. Thouvenel, the French ambassador at Constantinople, to his drago man (through whom the communications from the French embassy to the Porte are made), on his learning that the Austrian consul at Jassy had, by order of Count Buol, applied to the new caimacau of Moldavia to revoke the concession : " I request you to wait on Fuad Pacha, and in case of need on the Grand Vizier, and to inform him of the ob servations with which this proceeding has inspired me. I shall not here examine the value of the contract which forms the security of Captain Magnan ; all that I have to say is that very respectable French interests are in volved in it, and that I must, until I receive more ample information, consider the contract as legitimate, since it emanates not only from the will of Prince Ghika, but has been again ratified by a council of ministers who seriously discussed the matter before replying to the com munication of the Austrian consul at Jassy. The essen tial question is not entirely in the maintenance or annul ment of the privilege granted to Capt. Magnan, but more particularly in the arguments brought forward by the Cabinet of Vienna and the line of proceeding recommended to the Porte. If the treaty of the 30th March is to be understood in this sense, that the free navigation of the Danube requires that two tributary streams of that river, which, it is true, have their source out of Moldavia, but are only navigable on that territory, are to be subjected absolutely to the same regime, such a principle, in order to be admitted, requires the assent of the majority of the contracting powers ; and France, in particular, has the more right to be consulted that the discussion has been raised in connection with a native of that country. I may add that in presence of the clear and positive text of Article 23 of the treaty of Paris, the Porte itself resigns the right of annulling by a firman or by an order of any kind as internal administrative mea sure adopted at Bucharest or at Jassy, and I could not have for a moment believed that it would have had an idea of following the plan of proceeding suggested to it. The administrative independence of the Principalities would be nothing more than an empty and senseless word, if each of the powers which have constituted themselves the guarantee of the new order of things could isolatedly claim an intervention on the part of the suzerain power in the internal affairs of the vassal pro vinces. The position in which they are placed does not doubtless confer upon them the power of setting at nought the obligations imposed on them as the very condition of their existence, but the treaty of the 30th of March pro tects them from any particular interference. In order for that interference to be legitimate, the facts which in duced it should have been examined by all the guaran• teeing powers, and the majority of them should leave de clared the case to be sufficiently serious to necessitate a direct proceeding on the part of the Sublime Porte. This right does not belong to one of the powers to the exclusion of the others. I request you to point out these considerations to his Excellency Fuad Pacha, to whom I authorise you to give a copy of your instructions to Aali Pacha." NEIV RUSSIAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPA IVIES. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 13. The Emperor has just confirmed the organic statutes of three steam navigation companies, de-tined to faci litate trade and industry in the south of Russia. The Russian merchant navy is about to be greatly increased in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. _ _ _ The " Russian Company of Navigation and Trade," specially created for the south of Russia, is founded on the plan of the Russo-American Company, under the protection of his Majesty Alexander 11. This company engages to maintain communications :- 1. Between Odessa, Constantinople, Athens, Smyrna, Rhodes, Alexandretta, Beyruth, Jaffa, and Alexandria (three voyages per month.) Should a commercial de mand arise, the vessels will touch at other places also along the route. 2. Between Odessa, Yalta, Redout-Kaleh, Kertch and along the coasts of the Caucasian country (three times a month.) This line will be hereafter extended to the ports on the coast of Anatolia as far as Constantinople, where the boats performing the service will meet other steamers belonging to a line established between Odessa and Galatz, there to ply along the coasts of Roumelia as far as Constantinople. 3. Between Odessa and Galatz, t9uching at the Salina, at Ismail, Reni, and other ports in the Danube, ones a week. 4. Between Odessa, Eupatoria, Sebastopol, Yalta, Theodosia, and Kest* once a week. 5.

Between Odessa, Constantinople, the Pirmus, Messina, Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, and Marseilles, about 18 voyages a year. Should it be necessary, the company's steamers will also touch at other ports situate between the ports above mentioned. 11. Between Odessa, Constantinople, Zante, Cepha lonia, Corfu, and the towns of Ancona and Trieste, about 18 voyages a year. All these lines of circulation will be opened as fast as the steamers are built, but are to be in full operation before the end of five years. Moreover, this company has the privilege of establish ing a system of tags on the rivers Dnieper, Boug, and Don. The capital of the company is fixed for the pre sent at six million silver roubles, divided into 20,000 shares, but it may be raised to nine millions. The Go vernment takes 6,670 shares for 2,000,000 silver roubles, paying the half of this sum down and the other half within 12 months. At the head of this company stands its founders, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, Captain Nicholas Arkass, and Collegiate Councillor Nicholas Novossitski. The statutes are signed by Count Orloff, the Grand Duke Constantine, Counts Perovski, Lanskoi, General Soukhosaeet,Tcheff kine, Brok Baron Wrangel, Nozoff, G ortschakoff, Gainalie, Illitcheffski, and Count Golenichtcheff, Kou tousoff, members of the ministerial committee. All these names, and the advantages secured to the company, sufficiently show the importance that the Russian Government attaches to the success of this en terprise, which, precisely at the moment when, by the Crimean war and the treaty of Paris, our military navy in the Black Sea has been annihilated, intends construct• ing a formidable merchant steam-navy, that will keep not merely our populations of the south constantly tiained•to the maritime service, but in case of certain events would likewise enable us to transport troops no matter to what point upon the coast of the Black Sea.

THE SHREWSBURY ESTATES.—JOHN SADLEIR._There is no foundation for the statement which has appeared in our morning wmtemporaries, that the Earl of Shrews. bury, recently deceased, bequeathed his estates to the disposition of the late John Sadleir. Previously to leaving England, the noble Earl, it is understood, made a temporary will, placing his property, in the event of his death during his continental residence, in trust for strictly Roman Catholic charitable and educa tional objects, at the disposal of several noblemen and gentlemen ; among whom were included the present Duke of Norfolk, Sir Thomas Redington, formerly U n der -Secretary for Ireland, and John Sadleir—the latter of whom, at the time the bequest was made, occupied a distinguished position in the House of Com mons, by his leadership of the opposition offered by the Roman Catholic members to the passing of the Eccle siastical Titles Bill.—Advertinr, SPAIN. The following are the details of the terrible ac cident (on the Aranjuez Railway, already briefly announced by telegraph :—" A diligence from Seville., which was placed on a truck, caught fire near Villasequia, and flames soon burst forth ; the train, however, proceeded about two miles before the conflagration was perceived. The train was then, of course, immediately stopped, and the burns ing vehicle was separated from it ; but some of the passengers had previously jumped from it. Among9t them were two sisters and a lady and child, all of whom were so dreadfully injured that they died in a few hours, and another was burnt to death. The other passengers, eight in number, escaped with their lives, but one was seriously injured, and the others received con tusions. One of the latter was a lady who was so stout that she had had to pay for two places, and her escape was considered miraculous. The dili- gence and the truck on which it was were com pletely reduced to cinders. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is supposed to have been by the imprudence of some passenger in the dili gence in lighting a cigar. Some of the passengers by the train were so exasperated at the accident that they assaulted the guards and engine men in charge of the train ; one of the guards was seri ously injured • ' —even a government inspector who happened to be present was menaced." The Opinione of Turin of the 20th announces that the inhabitants of Carrara (Modena) have sent 535 fr. as their subscription for the 100 guns of Alessandria. The letter which accompanies this sum offers likewise the voluntary enrolment of a number of artillerymen sufficient to serve at least one gun. A letter from ir..alafat, in the Austrian Corres pondence, states that the number of Tut kish soldiers who have lately arrived in that place for the repair of the fortifications amounts to 150. Similar operations are about to be carried on at the other towns commanding the fords on the Danube, and also all the tetes-de-pont on each side of the river. A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says :-- 44 Baron de Hubner, after having been received by King Ferdinand in an official manner, had a private audience of his Majesty. This news came to Count Buol by telegraph, and the same despatch, it is said, stated that the Baron had a well-founded hope of being able to convince the King of Naples of the necessity of changing his system." The last overland mail from Mauritius brought the in telligence of the death of Professor Wenceslaus Bojer, a name so well known for many years past to the botanists of Europe on account of the many and beautiful speci mens which he was the first to introduce to their notice. The pages of the botanical journals both of England, France, and Germany attest the variety of his researches, anj the value :of his labours in countries which he was the first in vis;t and explore for the purposes of science. MADAME TUsSAUD'S EXHIBITION,—Another addition for the completion of the rept group at the above exhi. bitinn has just been executed. It represents his Ma jesty Sing Oscar of Sweden. His Majesty is represented in a dark green uniform, his breast being decorated with several orders of distillation. The figure is admirably constructed, and most life-like in appearance. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WELLINGTON BARRACKS.—Yesterday, about noon, an accident oc curred at the Wellington Barracks in St. James's-park, by the falling of a mass of earth, the effect of which was that one of the unfortunate men engaged in the excava tion, of the name of Henry Redman, lost his life. The body was taken to St. Margaret's workhouse, to await a coroner's inquest. The men were all experienced hands at the work they were engaged in. Mum/ . AND MURDER.—The Melampus, 44, is on her way to Spithead from the Black Sea, and has on board three murderers, heavily ironed (two Italians and an other foreigner), with five witnesses. These miscreants rose upon the captain of a merchant vessel in the Black Sea, and then made their escape ashore in the Bosphorus. They were, after much difficulty, captured, and put on board the Melampus for security. The case will be brought before the magistrates of Portsmouth on the arrival of the Melampus at that port. DISCOVERY OF COPPER IN NEW ZEALAND.—We are glad to learn that the discovery of the lode of copper ore on the Dun Mountain has been fully confirmed, and that the result of the experiments made upon the samples forwarded to this country are unusually favourable. A few feet lower down a most valuable vein has been struck. This, together with the reported discovery of gold, if the latter is confirmed, will be of the greatest advantage to this province and to the whole of New Zea land.—kustralian and New Zealand Gazette. TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.--A call has been made to finally wind up the affairs of this company, which was started some years ago t o c arry out life assur ance in conjunction with the Tontine system , but the project failed, th e company leaving only succeeded in effecting two or thre e po li c i es . The call is to pay off outstanding creditors' claims, and to repay those who advanced moneys and paid calls, as against those in the concern who did not. PAPER FROM SUNFLOWERS.—Near Erith a crop is about to be gathered of about four acres of sunflower. The seeds will be used for oil, and to feed the cattle and poultry, as in the south of France ' • but the chief object is to obtain the fibre of th e s t a lk s for paper making.

Last night the "Inconstant " was revived for the de but of Mr. Murdoch, a gentleman who has long held a high reputation in the United States, and has there main tained the fame of a piece almost forgotten (save by students) on this side of the Atlantic. His appearance was decidedly in his favour. Tall, well built, and with a strongly-marked countenance, he awakened the re membrance of those rakes of another century in whom a certain degree of physical strength was a necessary element. His swing had the old school assur ance about it, the sparkling dialogue was delivered with the confidence of a professed wit, and the deli neation might generally be pronounced forcible. On the other hand, he seemed to be deficient in that etherial buoyancy which was once found consistent with mus cular development, and which, by giving a show of im pulse to all the acts of the unvirtuous heroes of comedy, carried their rascalities easily along. His talent was most advantageously displayed in the last act, where the most force and the least lightness are required in bringing out the effect 'of a really terrific situation. The inclination to cry like a child, when one of the cowardly villains into whose hands be has fallen tweaks him by the nose, and the check which he puts upon his feelings that he may not risk a fatal quarrel, were excellent touches, and admirable was his rush back into his habitual hilarity when the moment of peril was past, and he felt himself restored, as by magic, to the enjoyment of life. A most violent tran sition was contemplated by the author, and this was completely realised by the actor, who by his per formance in this remarkable scene brought down the curtain with loud applause. The piece generally was fairly acted, and we may especially pick out the Duretete of Mr. W. Farren, as marked by a great deal of ease and confidence, and the " Old Mirabel" of Mr. Chippendale, which was a highly coloured picture of the old school. Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam sustained Oriana with considerable effect, though the part is out of her usual line, and Miss Talbot looked magnificent in the character of Bizarre, the Farquhar "Beatrice." Altogether the play, which was given in a three-act version, moved on merrily enough ; and indeed, notwithstanding the faults of coarseness and improbability, it is still a luxury to listen to tha keen and highly-polished dialogue. THE IMPERIAL FAMILY OF FRANCE. The following articles are from the Moniteur o : yesterday : " BIARRITZ, SEPT. 21. " The Emperor and Empress went yesterday to St. Jean de Luz. Their Majesties, in spite of the bad weather, visited the embankment made at that interest ing little town, a part of which, unfortunately, has already been carried away by the sea. The Emperor gave I,ooof. to the mayor for purposes of charity, I,ooof. to the Commissary of the Marine for the widows of sailors, and 5,000 f. to the curate for the repair of his church. " His Imperial Highness Prince Jerome Napoleon arrived at Paris from Havre OD Saturday evening at five o'clock." "STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 13 " Prince Napoleon left Christiania during the night of the sth of September, after having received from the hands of the Viceroy the insignia of the Norwegian Order of St. Olaf. At Gotteaburg his Imperial High ness left his yacht and embarked on board one of the packet-boats which ply on the line of the Gothie Canal. Favoured by the late beautiful days of the season the Prince had a pleasant passage, and on the evening of the 10th rejoined the corvette at the height of Soder koping. The next evening the Reine Hortense and the Cocyte cast anchor near the fortress of Baxholin, which defends the approaches to the capital. The Reine Hortense was received with a Royal salute, and was stationed opposite the palace. The Great Chamberlain, Count de Lewenhaupt, followed by the commandant of the station, came to compliment the Prince in the name of the King of Sweden, offered him apartments at Stockholm and Drotinghdim, placed at his disposal one of his Majesty's aides-de-camp, and announced to him that the King, who had arrived on the previous evening to preside at a Council, would receive him at the Palace. Before disembarking his Imperial Highness received on board a visit from the Duke of Ostrogothie. At 2 o'clock the Prince in full uniform, and decorated with the Order of Norway, went on board a boat, bearing the French flag, accompanied by the officers of his suite and the Minister of the Emperor, and repaired to the Palace. At this moment another salute of 24 guns was fired. Received upo❑ landing with the accustomed ceremony bestowed upon princes of the blood Royal, his Imperial Highness was conveyed in the State carr age amid the acclamations of a vast , concourse of people to the pre sence of King Oscar, who received him in the most cor dial manner. The Prince occupied an apartment for the day at the Palace. His Swedish Majesty immediately paid him a visit, and conferred upon him the Order of the Seraphim. The Prince then went to Drotingholtn, where he was successively presented to the two Queens and to the Princess Eugenia. At dinner the King proposed the toast, 'To the Emperor, and the continued Prosperity of his glorious Reign,' and finished by giv ing the `Health of Prince Napoleon.' " The Prince intends to devote two days to visit the establishment of the capital, two more days to visit the chateau of Gripsholm, to which-the King will accom pany him, and three days to an excursion to Upsal and the mines of Dannemora." TIIE NEW DIOCESE OP WESTMINSTER Her Majesty's Government have determined on a subdivision of the diocese of London, and Dr. Tait, who is to have the supervision of the metro politan see, will have only one ; half the field over which the Bishops of London have hitherto pre sided. The diocese of London will henceforth consist of all that portion of the metropolis which is within the City-walls, in addition to the exten sive parishes of Bethnaltreen, Clerkenwell, Isling ton, Limehouse, Shoreditch, Stepney, St. George's East, Whitechapel, Hackney, and Stoke Newing ton, together with several parishes in &sex, Kent, and Surrey, which are at present under the-juris diction of the Bishop of London. The Bishop of Westminster will have in his gift, amongst other livings, the vicarage of Kensington, worth 1,4001. a year ; the vicarage of St. Martin in-the-Fields, worth 1,4001. a year ; the incum bency of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, worth 1,2001. a year ; the vicarage of Fulham, worth 9001. a year ; the incumbency of Brompton, worth 1,7001. a year ; the vicarage of Hammersmith, worth 6001. a year ; the incumbency of Highgate, worth 4001. a year ; and several minor benefices. No one is at present named for the new bishopric of Westmin ster. PICCOLOMINI'S CONCERT.—Piccolomini is a gem of a girl. If she is a descendant of a line of popes, she does honour to St. Peter's chair. She acts perfectly ; she sings deliciously. We went reluctantly to her concert, for the wretched old screech owl that edits the A thencem said 81,e could not sing : and we were foolish enough to fancy that although he lies uniformly on things literary, he might tell occasional truth on things musical. No such thing. Her music is without flaw : as to her acting, its charm is indescribable. The very spirit of music dwells in her ; she is eager to sing ; she carries all the humour and pathos of Italy in that statuesque head of hers ; her voice has the intoxication of champagne. This was the effect of a bare morning concert. What would it be with the costume and colouring of the opera-house ? And Piecolomini is only 18 ; what will she be at 25 ? THE CONCERT OF MONDAY.—A correspondent, better up in matters musical than we, sends us the following : —Piccolomini and the artistes of her Majesty Theatre, Belletti, Beneventano, Charles Braham, and Madlle. Finoli, and Pilotti gave a morning concert here on Monday last, which was attended by all the elite of this fashionable watering place. Madlle. Piccolumini continues to astonish her audiences by the fresh elec tric style of her singing ; in all her movements there is a natural ease and grace. Madlle. Finoli possesses a fine deep contralto voice. The artistic Belletti, aided by the deep tones of Beneventano, gives unusual de light. Braham promises to become a great singer, fully maintaining the name his family has secured by its musical knowledge and talent,—Qountry paper. THE DIFFERENCES IN THE SPAIMSE CABINET. L The Journal deg Dcbats of yesterday contains the , following letter front Madrid, of the 16th, giving" an account of differences which lately occurred in the Spanish Cabinet "We have ju , t hail a Mi. tiisterial crisis here, which nearly led to the dissolution of the Ministry. It was caused by the question relative to the execution of the law for the sale of ecclesiastical Property. On the 9th. the C - )uncil of Ministers assembl led as usual, but ass nothing important was expected t 0 come on, neither the Queen nor M. Rios Rosas, 111'lnis ter of the Interior,, was present. The Minister of F:nance, M. Canteaoe brought forward the draft of a decree' which he proposect to submit to the Queen, authorising the opening of a. credi,, of 30,000,000 reals (7,500,000 f.) t:ar the repairs of c h urc h es and ecclesiastical edifices.; such credit to be , repaid from the proceeds of the sales of ecclesOstical and' national propOrfy. It is evident that the adoption of! this measure w,luld have amounted to a new Kanctioin of the law of desa Mortizacion, and would have Lod to th sl pressing on of the salee of ecclesiastical property with new activity. The Minister of Finance therefore pre pcsed nothing less than that the Cabinet should decide-, against those influent: al persons who wish to see the lair in question suspended ; in other terms, he reconimenL i ed the adoption of a policy 1: 11 accordance with that, of tl to 1 I Government which was o verthrown in July, not wit h that of the present one. Nev,c!rtheless, it does not appea,le that his proposition led to any objection from his col eagues. When M. Rios Rosas heord of this he demands the convocation of a new Cabinet Council, in order • that the question might be fully examined and set tled. This council was held on the 11th, under the presidency of the Queen. M. Rios Rosas argued that the decree of 10'. Cantero, by giving a new ctanfirmation. of the law, and assuring its prompt execution, would raise obstacles in the negotiations now pending with R ums . H e a l so maintained that the law was in contra diction with the Concordat concluded in 1851, that it was voted by surprise s-,'nd without due reflection, and that it would be prudent 1: 0 leave the question of the exe cation of it to the future 0 1 ntes. The Minister of Fi nance declared that the pie, jected decree was an. indis pensable element in his planot finance, and that he would not remain Minister if it were not adopted. The Minis ter of Marine, M. Bagarri, warmly' approved slo!' the mea sure. As to the Minister of War, ~Marshal o':Donnell, he said that after having fully fxanon:led the gnestion,the he was convinced that it was impossibe t o sus p end execution of the law of d es amortizacion. He so id P too, that the law had been fully discussed in theGoo' s tituent Cortes, and had not been voted by en r p risep nor without due reflection, nor by intimidation ; that it had been duly sanctioned by the Queen ; that it way as much law as any other law ; and that the Govern, ment could not take on itself to infringe it by sus pending its execution. He added that his conviction on the sub' ject was so profound that he could not consent to the least concession, and that if the proposal of the I\ lin isto of Finance were not approved of, he should 1 beg the Queen to accept his resignation and that of his col 1ea.0 ,35 s of the departments of the Marine and Finance. Thi declaration of O'Donnell produced a great sen ?a tion, and the Queen was much moved by it. Her Nlttliesty reminded him of the circumstances under which the haw had been voted by the assembly and saoctioned by and she said that she had more than once felt ale :ors in ~ h e r conscience at her participation in a --neastore which was prejudicial to the Church, was in violation of the Concordat, and against which the Holy Soe had ,pro tested. 'I, therefore,' said the Queen, 'supplicate lq• Cantero to withdraw the proposed decree, w.hich be will find means to do without. If this be a sacri-fice, to him I beg it in the name of his patriotism, and of hi B devotedness to me. I hope that he will not refus le DIY prayer.' Then turning to O'Donnell, the Queen lai d , that he had no serious reason to talk of re si g nin g , n that for her part she was determined not to give up. the services of one of the most distinguished chiefs of the army, who every day gave her new proofs of his Oil tion and zeal. am anxious,' her Majesty adae u t that we shall not become the laughing-stock of Eurort and we should no doubt btu so, if after six weeks war ployed in doing great and usaful things—things which are not without grandeur—we were to separate becAu se we differ on a question which is not even of secondary in terest.' The Queen then formally invited M. Canter"• to prepare other means for pay ing the expense ernof repairing churches ; and, said she, M. Cant must know, and all my min,isters know, h. vg happy I am when we are in accord, and that I reel great pain when it ha ens to me not to b e of ti tat pp opinion.' The Council on this broke zip, bat ahoritll after the Minister of War went to the Queen, and re quested her Majesty to sign the decree of IT. Cantero, or to accept the resignation of all the Ministers. The Queen persisted in her double refusal, and gave sot reasons for it that he consented to retain his post, a-au' to abandon the decree of M. Cantero. It is to be re marked that though all the Ministers appeared to tar prove of the decree when first brought forward, yet that-. when M. Rios Rosas opposed it he was supported by M. Collado, Minister of Public Works, M. Alvares, Minister of Justice and Public Worship, and Pastor Diez, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The opinion of the Queen was consequently in conformity with that of the majority of the Cabinet. The veritable importance of the incident is the offer of resignation made by O'Don nell, and this offer has caused some disquietud e in the capital. On the other hand, it has shown the :Royalist- Liberals and Conservatives of all shades of opinion the necessity of supporting the Ministry." r TEE NEW SPANIVI CONSTITUTION.
