This Company which has been established en commandite, 1 under the French Commercial Law, has for its object the supplying of Steam communication along the whole sea-board of the Continent, where trading operations are now carried on by small sailing ships, which are quite unsuited to the present necessities of commerce. Amongst the lines to which the attention of the projectors has been directed arc the folloiving prom Dunkerque to Havre, Newcastle to Boulogne. Liverpool to Havre and Boulogne. Antwerp to Southampton. Antwerp by Havre to Bordeaux. And Fecamp near Havre to London. Small and inexpensive vessels with auxiliary steam-power Strfficient only to give them the advantage over sailing ships in Point of time and punctuality will be used, and provisional contr co ntracts have been already arranged f or the purchase of acts well adapted to the purposes of the Company. C alculations which have been made give sufficient evidence of the large field for remunerative trade which the services projected present*, and it is confidently anticipated, that for profitable working this undertaking will prove second to no atemeantile marine enterprise in existence. The statutes under which this company is formed give to the Administration the power, in addition to the more usual business of shipowners, to open a Credit Maritime ; and from this branch of its trade, which will comprise advances by way of loan upon cargoes shipped by the company's vessels, it is believed large profits may be realised ; but this class of ope rations will not be entered upon until the capital shall have been subscribed to a sufficient extent to enable the company to undertake it effectively. The Shares are payable in five instalments of 50 francs or 2/. each. The first payment of 2/. is to be made on the allot- Inent. A similar sum within one month from the date of allotment, and the remaining three-fifths by instalments of 21. Per Share, at intervals of three months from the second pay ment. The three last payments will be called up by adver tisement in the public papers, both in London and Paris, and interest at the current rate of the day will bo charged upon all payments in arrear. It is proposed to place the second series of 8,000 Shares in England —the first being now in course of issue in France. 4PPlications for Shares, accompanied by a deposit of 2s.

THE MORISONIAN MEMORIAL, erected in front of the British College of Health, New-road, London, the 31st of March, 1851. Raised by a penny subscription. The friends to medical liberty throughout the world will be glad to hear that this monument has been erected, recording as it does some most important facts. It consists of a true British lion, raised on a splendid block of Aberdeen granite, that being the birthplace of James Morison, the Hygeist. The lion upholds with dignity the Hygefan system of medicine, as follows : I. The vital principle is in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood: • . 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from Impurity of the blood. 5. Pain and disease have the same origin. 6. From the intimate connection subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper vegetable purgation is the only medicinal mode for effec tually eradicating disease. 8. The discovery of a vegetable medicine was a desideratum. 9. This discovery was made by James Morison , the llygelst, who also proclaimed " the medical liberty of the subject." On the right side of the stone is engraved the following: — son" Mori was the first to protest against bleeding and the use of poisons as medizincs." On the left side appears a record of the presentation to Parliament of the following Ilygeirin petitions :—" In 1847 a petition against pharmaceutical poisons signed by 19,950 persons. In 1851 a petition against Latin prescriptions, signed by 3,331 persons." At the b ick of the stone are the arms of the Morison family in bronze. We say these are important facts which nothing can shake—they concern every one: The British College of Health hereby return thanks to John Fraser, of Edinburgh, to James Bibbed, of Manches ter, and to J. W. Hayti, of Exeter, for the deep interest which they took in the erection of this monument. British College of Health, New-road, London, July 29th, 1856.

Mr. Elliott, the senior surgeon, gave him a most satisfactory accosnt. Although Bartholomew still lies in a precarious condition, yet he is gradually and surely improving. lie was visited by his wife on Monday, but did not seem to recognise her. Little Mundy, who received a frightful comminuted fracture of the thigh, is progressing most favourably. Ashmall, Salter, and Hearnden have left the infirmary.

The above match and musical fete, which was con tinned at Lord's Ground yesterday, attracted a large concourse of spectators, the bands of the 2d Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards being present, enlivening the scene with some splendid music. ' On account of the great score made by the Army in their first innings, and being so many ahead of the Crimeans, the latter followed their innings, and although they made a goodly score of 131, they left but 28 for their opponents to get to win. On the Army taking their second innings much excite ment prevailed ; for, although the number to be ob tained was but small, still the wickets fell rapidly, as thus —one for 11, two for 13, three for 13, four for 19, five for 19, six for 26, and the other two were eventually got, but it ended a closer match than was anticipated. The score stood as follows at the close :—The Army, 0 45 and 28 ; the Crimean Club, 141 and 131, THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AGAINST FIFTEEN GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. This match commenced on Thursday, on Parr and Wisden's Ground, Leamington, and terminated on Sa• turday in favour of the " Fifteen," by 43 ru ns , th e scorn stan di n g thus :—Tho Fifteen, 167 and 123 ; the Eleven, 156 and 90. ELEVEN OF ENGLAND AGAINST EIGHTEEN OF NOTTINGHAM. This match was for the benefit of Guy, and com menced on Monday, on the Trent Bridge Ground, Not tingham, and at the clo:se of tho day's play the score stood thus :—Nottingham, 97; All England, 57 (with six wickets to go down.) SUSSEX VERSUS KENT. in These two couLties met to contest a match at Brighton, on Mondays end the result of day's play WAS Pi 4 On Thursday, July 31, an Eleven of Carlow made their appearance on the Viceregal ground to contend against his Excellency's Club. The game was very closely contested, and great was the excitement towards the end, when 'the last wicket went in to make two runs, which, however, ware not to be got, and conse quently Carlow proved victorious. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE IRISH HEROES OP THE CRIMEA. The privilege of pronouncing a formal eulogy upon the services of one' of the Irish regiments en gaged in the recent war has worthily devolved upon the Earl of Carlisle. His Excellency is to present, in the name of the Queen, a stand of colours to the 18th (Royal Irish), in lieu of those honourably ragged banners which they carried into Sebastopol on the 18th of June last year. The old colours of the regiment are to be deposited with solemn triumph in St. Patrick's Cathedral, as worthy trophies for the example of succeeding generations of Irishmen. The whole ceremony, it is said, will be conducted on a scale of splendour which cannot fail to gratify the national vanity, at present unnecessarily, irritated by well-meant but injudicious 'reflections, upon the honours paid by the people of England to their national eorps. The reception given by the citizens of Sheffield to the Royal Irish Dragoon Guards does not look as if John Bull meant to monopolise in his own per son the whole glory of the war in the EaSt. THE NAVAL SQUADRON AT QUEENSTOWN. 1 This morning's accounts from Cork announce that at about 4 o'clock on Saturday evening the squadron which left Queenstown about a fortnight since arrived in the harbour, and came to anchor in pretty nearly the same positions they had occupied before. It apper.rs that their cruise has been, not towards the west of Ireland, as was thought, but in the Bay of Biscay. During the whole of Sunday crowds poured down in every successive train and steamer to visit those noble specimens of naval architecture, and were received with great polite ness on board the Duke of Wellington, which, from the repute of its stupendous dimensions, proved the principal object of attraction. A large number of the sailors and marines got " liberty," and went ashore in every kind of marine convey ance. THE POTATO. The Cork Examiner—a careful and reliable authority upon the subject—supplies the following information respecting the state of the potato crop in that extensive district : " With regard to this crop we have had information from the districts of Kenmare, Bantry, Skibbereen, Millstreet, Clonakilty, and Bandon. Between Cork and the latter town we can state,'from personal observation, that everything is as promising as could be wished, but that between Clonakilty and Bandon there is consider able evidence of blight to be seen. In no cases, how ever, that we have observed has th• disease gone to any greater extent than the blackening of the leaves. In the immediate neighbourhood of the town of Kenmare we learn that the crop is quite healthy, but between that and Bantry evidences of disease have appeared. Again, about Bantry there aro no indications whatever of blight, while between that town and Skibbereen, and in the immediate neighbourhood of Skibbereen, consi derable manifestations of disease have appeared. About Millstreet nothing, we are told, could be finer or more healthy than the appearance of the crop." THE MURDER AT FERMOY. Charles M'Cready, the soldier who was convicted last week at Cork Assizes of the wilful murder of Seijeant M'Guinny, of the 68th Light Infantry, was yesterday afternoon put forward to receive sentence. The prisoner was perfectly calm and unmoved. Baron Greene, in a touching address, pronounced the last judgment of the law. During the course of the delivery of the sentence the prisoner seemed to be the only person in the court unaffected by the solemnity of the occasion and the touching ad dress of the learned judge, who himself was deeply moved during its delivery. At its conclusion the prisoner, without assistanfT, stepped lightly and firmiy from woplae.. whdre he had stood, and was immediately convoyed to the county gaol, where he will await his execution. The usual formality of wearing the black cap was dispensed with by the learned judge on this occasion. It is understood that the execution is to take place on Monday, the 22d September. Naval and Military Intelligence. The 3d battalion of the mfie Brigade arrived at Alder shot on Monday from Portsmouth, and the 41st and 44th Regiments have left Aldershot, for Dover. The 97th Regiment also left Aldershot for Ports mouth. We learn by electric telegraph that her Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon, 6, Captain Stevens, C. 8., arrived at Spithead last night from Balaklava, Malta, and Gib raltar. 22-I non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Sappers and Miners also came home in her Ma jesty's ship Dragon. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Argus, 6, Commander Purvis, arrived at Spithead last evening from Halifax, which she left on the 18th July. No more troops are to be sent to Aldershot without orders from her Majesty. The Argo steam-transport arrived at Spithead on Monday night from the East, with Col. A. Spottiswood, Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards ; Capt. G. Poynter, do. ; Lieuts. J. H. Anderson and S. Pearson, do.; Cornet R. A. L. Grows, Paymaster W. Smith, Adjutant and Cor net D. Wall, Quartermaster J. Bradbury, Veterinary Surgeon H. Sewell, 116 h orses , an d 120 men , d o . ; an d the Rev. Mr. Suuthwell. A district court-m a rtial, presided over by Lieutenant- Colonel A. Anderson, Royal Marines, assembled yes terday at Chatham barracks, for the trial of Wm. Dowell, a private in the 32d Regiment, on the ex traordinary charge of having deliberately blown off his right hand with his musket, with the view of being discharged from the service. The prisoner, who, since he has been in the regiment, bore a good charac ter, was tried some time ago on a charge of desertion — having been absent from his regiment only two hours —and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The ap parent hardship of his punishment preyed very much on his mind, and on the morning of the sth of May last while at Chatham barracks, he rose between 3 and 4 o'clock, and, without disturbing any of his comrades asleep in the barrack-room, provided himself with 10 rounds of ammunition and ball, after which he loaded his musket with two balls. He then placed his right hand over the muzzle and discharged the piece, when his band was so frightfully shattered that, on being taken to the hospital, it was found necessary to amputate his band above the wrist. On recovering he was ordered to be brought before a court-martial for trial. The sentence of the court will not be known until it has been confirmed at the Horse-Guards, but it is believed that he will not be discharged from the army. A short time ago a soldier chopped off one of his fingers at Chat ham barracks, hoping thereby to obtain his discharge. The following appointments were made at the Admi ralty yesterday :--H. P. de Frautzow, commander to the Conqueror ; J. S. A. Dennis, comman d er , t o the Caesar ; B. G. Rowles , lieutenant, to the Cressy , Tho mas Kerr, master, to the Acton ; IL J.

We learn that the dividend for the half-year ending June last will be at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with a balance of between 13,000/. and 15,0001. to be carried forward to the revenue account for the current six months. The dividend for the corresponding half year of 1555 was at the rate of only 4:1 per cent., with a s.urplus of about 6,0001. We understand that the in crease of capital to be paid upon for the present half-year requires an additional amount of dividend to the extent of 25,0001., and that an additional charge of 15,0001. is made against revenue for interest on debentures. So that in fact the company pay an additi ona l per cen t. as compared with the June six months of last year, not withstanding the large additional amount chargeable against revenue on account of increased capital and inte rest on debentures.

BERLIN, AUG. 1. In all probability the ceremonial to be observed at the approaching coronation of the Emperor of Russia will be assimilated as closely as possible to that which was observed at the coronation of his father, the late Emperor. The following account of the latter will, perhaps, serve in anticipation to give some idea of what the forms and ceremonies will be at the coming coronation. The day even on which the Imperial manifesto was issued announcing the period of the coronation has been the same in this case as in that of the late Emperor, exactly 30 years ago—viz., May the 3d, in consequence of which the committee came together at once, for the arrangement of the details. It is characteristic of the state of the country that in each case the first subject that pressed upon attention was the means of locomotion for the increased traffic and the increased numbers to be expected ; and though, this time, the existence of the railroad to Moscow relieves the committee of one of its most onerous tasks, there remains the line from Warsaw to Moscow to be cared for. The number of horses spoken of as having been provided for the traffic on this road on the former occasion is 800 at each post station. The Emperor will repair, on August the 20th, to the Petrowski Palace, near Moscow, whence he will make his solemn entry into the ancient capital on the 22d, and the coronation itself will take place on the 31st. The ceremony connected with this solemn entry is the observance, on the grandest scale, of the custom which prevails throughout the country of presenting the guest just arrived with bread and salt as a token of hos pitality extended towards him—this custom is called Chleb-sob, which signifies simply bread and salt. On this occasion of the Emperor's solemn entry into Moscow, the Chleb-sob will be presented to him on golden dishes by deputations of the nobility and citizens, drawn up on the open space in front of the Uspenski-Sobor, or Ascension Cathe dral of the Kremlin, immediately after he leaves the cathedral and is about to enter his own palace. At his first entrance into the fore-court of the cathedral he is received by the entire body of the clergy, the cross is held out to him to kiss, and he is then introduced into the building ; the first ob ject to which he directs his attention and special reverence are two pictures, the one a very ancient picture of the Saviour, and the other representing the blessed Virgin of Vladimir, said to be the work of the Apostle and Evangelist St. Luke ; the reli gious service consists only of a short private prayer, after which the Emperor leaves the cathedral for his own palace. The day of the coronation is proclaimed a few days previously by two heralds attired in the pic turesque costume of the Court of the ancient Czars; they proceed from the Kremlin and ride through the streets of Moscow, accompanied by the High Master of the Ceremonies in Ordinary, all in full dress, with a number of trumpeters and two squa drons of cavalry of the Guards. Where any two streets cross the proclamation is read aloud, and printed copies of it are distributed among the peo ple, who stand there grouped in numerous crowds, or eagerly follow the cavalcade, and join their sweet voices with the braying of the trumpets. On the eve of the coronation a special Divine service is performed in all the 293 churches of the city, while the bells of all are struck continuously ; those who cannot at the moment obtain entrance into the church wait patiently and reverentially • with uncovered heads outside, until an opportu nity offers for their admission, so that, however late it may be, they may join in the prayers for a pros perous reign and for a blessing on the Imperial couple. The Emperor and Empress themselves attend Divine service, together with the Imperial family, in the Saviour Church, which is the church that, properly speaking, belongs to the Palace ; it is also called by the people solotaja reschotka—the golden gate. At this time also the coronation in signia are brought into the grand audience saloon of the palace, and guard held over them there till they are used next day ; they consist of the chain of the Order of St. Andrew • the banner of the Em pire, the Imperial Signet, the Sword of State, the Empress's mantle, the Emperor's mantle, the orb, the sceptre, and the smaller and the greater Impe rial crowns. On the morning of the day of the coronation 21 guns give the signal to the troops to march, in part into the Kremlin itself, in part to occupy the ap proaches to it ; 6,000 persons ar&admitted to places inside the cathedral, and their admission com mences with early dawn. The common people, the tschormei narod, literally black people, as we should say the great unwashed, are permitted to approach and surround the cathedral, but are not so placed that they can see anything of what goes on in side. If all takes place on this approaching occa sion as it was on the last the Empress Mother will precede the Imperial procession by a few minutes. She will walk beneath a canopy, supported on 12 staves, wearing an Imperial mantle, embroidered with double eagles. She will be surrounded and followed by pages, chamberlains, ladies in wait ing, &c., and be conducted by the clergy into the cathedral. The procession of the Emperor is opened by garden du, corps, pages, officers of the Court, deputations from the provincial nobility, heralds, &c. The Emperor himself appears in full General's ' uniform, and walks in front of the canopy which is borne over the Empress by 16 lieutenant-generals, 16 major-generals holding the cords. The Emperor is surrouned by his sons and his brothers. The troops present as the Imperial procession passes between their ranks, and the highest dignitaries of the church receive them at the door of the cathedral, the Metropolitan of Novogorod reaches them the cross to kiss, the Metropolitan of Kioff, bearing an aspersorium, besprinkles with holy water the ground they are about to tread ou, and the Metro politan of Moscow receives them with an address. At the moment of the Imperial couple passing the threshold the choir commence the musical portion of the solemnity. The cathedral, which was built by a Greek architect in the 15th century, is very lofty in proportion to its extent ; its vaulted roof is supported by four immense columns, which are decorated with fresco paintings of saints the size of life, and with pictures of others attached to the masonry. The walls themselves contain more than 200 figures of saints and scenes from sacred history painted in fresco, so that, on ordinary occasions, the affect of these masses of colour, of gold and silver, is very imposing. The high altar, called Icono stass, consists of a screen which divides the sanc tum from the rest of the building, and extends up to the roof ; on it there aro pictures of saints, pro fusely gilded on five different fields. In addition to the two pictures mentioned above, the cathedral contains another article of some arch seological interest—viz., the ancient chair of the Czars. On the occasion of the coronation, how ever, three other seats of historical interest will be user. That for the Empress Mother will be the oldest of them—a stool presented by Shah Abbas of Persia to the Czar Boris Godanoff in the year 1605. It is so covered with gold in sheets as to appear to be of massive gold, and it is, moreover, richly decorated with pearls and precious stones ; it has no back to it, and it has all the appearance of an ancient stool. The second seat, destined for the reigning Empress, is called the Golden Throne, and is in form of a high-backed arm chair ; it is decorated with no less than 1,500 rubies, 8,000 turquoises, two large topazes, and four therare ame thysts. This costly seat dates fr om _ grand father g - father of Peter the Great, Czar M ichael Feodoro witsch. The third, which is, pro perly speaking, i s popularly the Emperor's throne, called the Diamond Throne. It is richly decorted with pearls and precious stones, and was presented to the Czar Alexis Michaelowitsch, father of Peter the Great, in 1660. On the back of the chair is the following inscription : "For the powerful and mos t invincible Alexis, Em peror of the Muscovites, that r ei g ns p ros p erousl y on earth. May this throne, w hich is built with the greatest art and most refined skill, be a pledge to him of heavenly and earthly bliss." The latter two are placed side by side on an es trade opposite the Iconostass, with steps covered with velvet leading down to it. The stool on which the Empress Mother sits is placed against one of the columns, a little to the side, and opposite to it is the table on which the coronation insignia aro laid in preparation for the ceremony. At the last coronation Count Orloff, who at that time com manded a regiment of Cuirassiers that had been arranged expressly for the occasion, had a place assigned him between the seats of the Imperial couple, where he stood during the service with his sword drawn, as if holding a guard over them ; this post of rare distinction the Emperor had as signed to him for the part ho had taken in putting down the then recent insurrection of the niilitiry. The ceremony itself consists of coronation and anointment. After an address has been delivered by the highest clerical person present, and a cer taaA Litany has been said or King, with all due r.e. sponses, the Emperor seated on his throne orders the Apostles' Creed to be handed to him, and hav ing read it audibly to the end he then proceeds, ac companied by the prayers and psalms of the clergy, to indue himself with the insignia of the Imperial power; The three highest metropolitans present fetch the Emperor's mantle from the table men tioned above, and with the assistance of certain members of his household, put it round him with the words, "In the name of the Father, of the Son, and the Holy Ghost." At the Emperor's command the President of the Imperial Council then brings him the crown. The Emperor then i sets t himself on his own head, on which the Me tropolitan of Moscow addresses him in the follow ing form, which has remained unchanged at all the Russian coronations : "Most pious, most mighty, and great Emperor of All the Russias,—This visible and palpable orna ment which now adorns thy head is the symbol of the mysterious act by which Jesus Christ, the King of glory, crowns thee at this moment to be the supreme head of the entire Russian people, and confirms thee by His holy blessing in thy most high and unbounded power over thy subjects." After the sceptre and the orb have been duly handed to the Emperor, accompanied by an appro priate address from the Metropolitan of Moscow, the Emperor seats himself in his full robes on his throne, his coronation is completed, and the choir sings, "Domine, salvum fac Imperatorem!" As soon as this is at an end the Emperor proceeds to crown the Empress, who approaches and stands before his throne, he lays aside his sceptre and orb, and taking his crown off his head he holds it a few seconds over hers, and then resumes it himself ; the smaller crown is then brought and is fastened on the Em press's head by her ladies, and at the same time she is invested with the Imperial mantle and the collar of the Order of St. Andrew. As soon as she has resumed her seat on her throne the choir com mences singing " Domine, salvam fac Imperatri cem," all the bells are struck and. a salvo of 101 guns is fired. During the music and the salute the Empress Mother first (if she is present) approaches the Im perial couple and congratulates them ; she is fol lowed in this by the other members of the Imperial family, and at the same time the clergy, the high est military officers, the corps diplomatique, and all present give three cheers. Salvum fac Impera toren?, follows then and is succeeded by the Russian hymn, Mucgaja Geta (" Give many long years"), J.7 . ,c. When the congratulations are at au end the Emperor reads aloud a long prayer from a missal that is handed to him, after which all present kneel down and repeat a prayer after one of the deacons ; and this forms the conclusion of the coronation, properly so called, and the anointment then begins. This is commenced by a Te Deum. The Emperor removes the clown from his head, lays aside the orb and sceptre, and kisses the Gospels, which are handed to him. A crimson carpet with gold border is now laid from between the two Imperial seats down the steps under and behind the screen, or iconostass, into the sanctum, and on the scarlet carpet a somewhat narrower one of cloth of gold. As soon as the carpets are laid the doors of the screen open, and the metropolitans, in their mitres, appear at them, and a procession forms itself from the thrones to the screen ; the high officers who had brought the insignia in procession to the cathedral bear them now again, but walk on the crimson margin left of the carpet ; the Emperor and Em press alone walk on the cloth of gold. On arriving at the screen every one steps aside, and the Em peror alone is left in the doorway, when the Metropolitan of Novogorod, who holds the vase with the Chrysam, dips a golden twig in the holy oil and anoints the Emperor on the forehead, the eyelids, the nostrils, the lips, the ears, and the breast. While so doing he utter the words, Impressio Boni Spiritds Sancti, and when he has concluded the Metropolitan of Kieff wipes off the balsam with a napkin, The Empress is also anointed, but only on the. forehead, and the Metropolitan of Moscow officiates with the napkin. While this anointment is going on all the bells are struck again continuously, and another series of 101 guns is fired. The three above-mentioned metropolitans now conduct the anointed Emperor through the doers I of the screen into the sanctum and place him before the altar ; the train of his mantle is now borne by the metropolitans, as no layman is permitted to enter. The Emperor now receives both elements of the Lord's Supper at the hands of the Metropolitan of Novogorod, another privilege that is accorded only to the Emperor. The Empress in the mean time stands outside at the open door, where the sacrament is administered to her, but not with the actual elements, but simply in the symbolical man ner indicated iu the mass. This latter part is the most impressive portion of the ceremony ; a per fect silence reigns throughout the vast cathedral, broken only by the low muttering of the metropo litans engaged around the sanctum, and shut out from the sight of the congregation ; outside, how ever, the bells are clanging loudly, and the win dows of the cathedral rattle with the report of the artillery. And when these bells are struck for the second time the crowd outside know that the Eucharist is being administered to their Emperor, and every word and gesture is stilled, and during the time of bells sounding and the cannon firing all assembled engage in prayer. When the cere mony of the anointment is over the Imperial couple return to their thrones, resume their in signia, and the Emperor and Empress leave the cathedral by the northern gate, which leads to the graves of the bygone Czars. The Empress Mother and all the rest of the participators in the ceremony now leave the cathedral by the door at which they had entered, and repair to the Palace, where they await the return of the Emperor and Empress, who in the meantime per form their devotions at the graves, and thence pro ceed to the Cathedral of the Annunciation. Here they are again received by the clergy, and again consecrated : the three churches lie very near to each other, and the Emperor and Empress pass from one to another in the same order as in the procession to the first cathedral, with the sole dif ference that the Emperor is now invested with all his insignia. From the last of the three churches the procession moves to the Granite Palace over the portentous "Red Steps ;" on passing these steps a third series of 101 guns proclaims that tbo coronation is over. At this Granite Palace the Emperor shows himself to the multitude from a balcony, and then proceeds to the coronation ban quet, which from time immemorial has been held in a large saloon, the ceiling of which is support©d by a single column ; around this column all the silver vessels of the former Czars are arranged, and special thrones erected for the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Mother. The whole corps diplomatique, and but few persons besides, are privileged to be present at this banquet. Before the festival com mences the Foreign Ministers are presented, and offer their con g ratulations, and the medals which commemorate the coronation are distributed. All the high officers of the Court, the High Steward, &c., enter upon their functions when the Emperor seats himself at the banquet ; the dishes are brought in under escort of officers of the Chevalier Guard with drawn sabres, and are presented to the Em peror by the proper officers on their knees. As soon as the Emperor asks to drink for the first time the corps cliplomatiptc takes its departure, and those only who are so highly privileged seat them selves to partake of the b anque t. Th e mem b ers o f the Imperial family and th e f ore i gn P r i nces present are seated in a neighbouring apartment. Illuminations, fireworks, balls, masquerades, and amusements for the people close the day. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day.—August 5. Admissions on payment, 11,725 ; do. by season tickets, 554.

FATAL ACCIDENTS IN TIIE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday morning Mr. Joseph Jones, a grocer of Great Peter street, Westminster, proceeded with his brother to the Serpen tine for the purpose of bathing, and having swam across the river nearly facing the ranger's boat-house, he was in the act of returning, when he sank. A cry was instan tl y raised, and the Royal Humane Society's men, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Williams, after the lapse of about a quarter of an hour, succeeded in getting the ' unfortunate man out and conveying him to the receiving house. Everything was there done for him by Mr. Lattie, surgeon, who was passing at the time, and also by the so ciety's men, but without effect. On Saturday night a fatal accident occurred on the same river to a man named Daniel Foy, a marble-polisher, who resided in the neigh bourhood of the Regent's-park. Deceased got into the water after the Royal Human© Society's boats had been withdrawn, and was noticed by some of those on the banks to sink. The society's men were called, but nearly half an hour elapsed before the poor fellow could be res cued. He was then taken to the Receiving-house, where Dr. Christian attended, but life was gone. Both bodies have been removed to the parish dead-house to await the i nqu est,. which will be hell* this day (W e d nes d ay ). Ow ing to the great danger to persons bathing in the Ser pentine from the north side, Mr. Charlier, the secretary, has communicated with the Board of Works and Sir R. Mayne, and the police and park-keepers have received orders to prevent any one from entering the water on • that yid@ of tho Serpentine. The project of a ship canal through the Isthmus of Suez; if carried into execution, will be produc tive of results of the highest importance, not only to the commerce of the country but to that of all Europe ; and we propose, therefore, to lay before the public such data as may enable them to form a clear conception, not only of the mode in which it is proposed to carry it out, but also of the steps which have been taken towards its realisation. The importance of such a route to the Indian Ocean did not escape the penetrating mind of the first Napoleon. During the campaign in Egypt, he took the opportunity of examining the remains of the canal from Suez to the Nile, attributed to the Pharaohs, through its whole length, and charged a commission, at the head of which was M. Lepere, with the duty of surveying and of re porting on the feasibility of restoring the ancient channel, or of constructing a new one. The com mission pronounced in favour of the former plan, objecting to a more direct route between the two seas, on the ground that the level of the Red Sea was about ten yards higher than that of the Medi terranean, according to the imperfect levellings which had been taken during the survey. The evacuation of Egypt of course put an end to this project, and it was not until the reign of Mehemet Ali that the scheme was seriously revived. But the shrewd old Paella, was averse to any plan which should, while connecting the Nile with the Red Sea, open a waterway through the heart of his territories for the ships of Europe ; and the ge neral belief in the difference of the levels of the two seas, although strongly combated by Laplace, was a serious obstacle to the consideration of the more direct route. In 1841, however, some English officers confirmed the discovery previously made by Major Chesney, that the levels of the two seas were nearly identical, and a sort of company was formed, including Linant Bey, a French engineer in the service of the Viceroy, for the purpose of perfecting the plans and surveys for a direct canal. In 1847, A!. P. Talabot, one of the members of this association, published the result of their operations, establishing among other things that, save in their tidal differences, the levels of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean were alike. From that date the pro ject has been mooted with greater activity, and in various forms. M. Talabot suggested a canal starting from Alex andria and passing down the western side of the Nile, which it crossed a little above Cairo, near th• barrage ; thence, running north-east, it traversed the Wady Toomilat, taking the general direction of the canal of Trajan, and, passing through the Bitter Lakes, debouched at Suez. A second plan, that of Messrs. Barrault, also took Alexandria as its start ing point. Leaving that city by the eastern side, or old port, it ran through the chain of lakes which lie on the northern shore of the Delta, turning to the south-east, near Damietta, and so through the lakes Menzaleh, Ballah, Timsah, and the Bitter Lakes to Suez. With this scheme was connected a system of smaller canals for irrigation and local traffic, intersecting the country in various directions. A third plan, and that which appears to be the only one that has any chance of being carried into effect, is that for which a firnian has been obtained by Monsieur F. Lesseps, and which is based on the surveys of Linant Bey and Mongel Bey, and which have been recently reported on by a commission of engineers !from the principal States of Europe. The line of Monsieur Lesseps runs from Suez, through the Bitter Lakes and Lake Timsah, to the Bay of Tineh, the site of ancient Pelusium. The main objections to this line are the alleged defec tive conditions offered by the termini, as to facili ties for constructing the necessary harbours, and the difficulty of establishing such channels there as should not rapidly silt up, and become obliterated or dangerous. The northern mouth of the proposed canal opens in the Gulf of Pelusium, which is bordered, accord ing to the report of the commission, by a belt of fine sand, over which the sea breaks at some points in heavy weather, and the bottom consists of a similar sand, deepening gradually until the sound ings reach 30 feet, when the mud bottom of this portion of the Mediterranean commences. It is added that this belt of sand has evidently remained unchanged as to form cr situation for ages. The water shoals most rapidly about Tannis, where a depth of 24 feet is reached at about 2,300 yards from the shore, and this form of bottom continuo; westward, with little variation, to Damietta. East ward, towards Pelusium, the increase of depth is much less rapid, the soundings of 24 feet not be ing reached until about 7,500 yards from shore, clearly pointing out Tannis as the locality for the northern terminus of the canal. The commission arrived at the conclusion that there is no danger of silting up froin the sand or mud carried down by the Nile, there being no trace of any change in the present form of bottom forages, but some risk evi dently exists from the lateral motion of the sand parallel to the coast, in heavy storms, and to ob viate this it would be necessary to run out two jet ties to the point where the sand ceases and the mud begins. Their direction would be from N.W. to S.E., leaving between them a channel 400 yards wide, the northern jetty extending seaward 3,000 yards, the southern to the region of mud. They would be constructed with stone brought from the quarries on the shores of Syria, or from Cyprus, Rhodes, or Scarpanto. The southern terminus, that of Suez, appears to offer no serious difficulties. The soundings vary from five to thirteen yards, with a tenacious muddy bottom, offering so good a holding ground that the Zenobia, the coal depot, has been at anchor in one of the most exposed parts of the roadstead during three years, without the slightest injury to her anchors or cables. The two jetties at this spot would bo of 1,600 and 1,200 yards in length respectively, to reach the required depth of 24 feet water. The mud bottom of this harbour appears also to have suffered little or no change for a long period. The opening of the canal might nevertheless alter that important condition, but the commissioners appeared to have no apprehensions on that point ; and the accounts of vast masses of mud held in suspension by the waters on the Pelusiac shore, as well as the reported insalubrity of the locality, they declare, from per sonal examination, to be chimerical. The Ship Canal would be about 72 miles in length, varying in width from 100 to 130 yare.ts, and about 24 feet in depth. At either end would be harbours, and an inland port would be created at Lake Timsah, where would also be the mouth of a fresh-water canal from the Nile, near Cairo, through the Wady Toomilat, adapted not only for irrigation, but for internal traffic. The sum named in the prospectus for carrying out this vast undertaking, including the payment of interest on the capital during construction, is 8,000,0001., the term allowed for the completion of the works being six years from the date of the fir man, Jan. 1, 1856. It has been objected that a canal from Tannis to Suez would annihilate the trade of Alexandria, which would thenceforward be useless except as a military port; but it is doubt . ful whether any important difference would be fe'At except as regards the overland trade to India. T A te direct traffic between Alexandria and Cairo wo probably remain in its present state, as the route by the new channel would b e b o th l onger an d ruore expensive. As regards our o wn coun t ry , i t i s stated that it would not only crea t e a ser i ous , com mercial rivalry bet ween us an d th e nations border ing on the Mediterranean as regards our Indian trade, but that it would also exposa our pos sessions there to a coup de main ou the part of France. We attach little weight to the lat ter peril. It would require very considerable . preparations in the Mediterranean ports, which could neither be carried on secretly nor with such rapidity as to prevent England from adopting the necessary precautions ; and it is, moreover, an essential part of the proposed undertaking that it shall be a strictly neutral canal—on the same foot ing, in fact, as the Dardanelles. Doubtless the nations of Southern Europe would largely profit by the facilities thus afforded them for entering into active trade with the East; but we have that faith in the en ergy and enterprise of our own merchants, and in the advantages we poss es s f r om their vast capital and admirable commercial organ isation, that we have little fear of any ser i ous injury being inflicted on our own trade, while that of India would undoubtedly.. be la rge l y b ene fitt e d by the important facilities for communication with ev ery part of Europe which would be secured by the completion of the Canal of the Isthmus of Suez.—Morning Paper. A GALLANT SOLDIER.—We gave in our last number an extract from the speech of Lieut.-General Sir Harry Smith, on the occasion of his presenting new colours to the 25th Regiment at Manchester. In the instances he gave of the gallantry displayed by soldiers in defending regimental colours he referred to a late sergeant of the 63d Regiment at Inkerman ; but as he called the gallant fellow by a wrong name, and also incorrectly stated the reward he had attained, we are induced to refer to the matter to correct the error into which the gallant'general or his reporter fell. It was Sergeant Brophey, of the 63d, who, when the officer carrying the regimental Co lour was knocked down, seized it and rushed forward, followed by the men. They were unsuccessful in the attempted repulse, and the sergeant, while holding the colour, was wounded. The regiment had to retreat, but though left lying on the field he stuck to the colour, hid it for a time in the h e ather,. and lay on it at n i g ht ; and when. the regiment; by a !link movement, regained its position, Sergeant Brophey was found bleeding and weak, with the colour in his possession. His bravery was not overlooked ; he was appointed lieutenant and paymaster of the 3d Lancashire Militia, and afterwards one of the yeomen of her Majesty's Guard. He left Preston for Windsor this week, to discharge the duties of the lattor oflea,—Preston Chronicle.
