The exclamation of poor old CHUFFEY may not be exactly applicable to Queen ISABELLA, but she may be regarded as a veritable Bourbon of the Neapolitan line. She proves herself pos sessed of the qualities for which her Uncle, King BOMBA, has acquired such painful notoriety, to be equally insensible to the obligations of an oath, and incapable of profiting by the lessons of ex perience. The same mischievous cunning, with out the power of taking a large or comprehensive view of the state of public affairs, are charac teristics of both Sovereigns ; and both the Spanish and Neapolitan dynasties are, at this moment, greatly endangered by the flagrant dis regard and repudiations of the constitutions which they had respectively sworn faithfully to observe. In some respects it is difficult to say which of the illustrious pair has proceeded to the greatest lengths in violation of the rights of their subjects, or which has incurred the greatest odium in the cause of absolute and irresponsible despotism ? BOMBA has the advantage of age. He has been longer in the field and has contrived to inflict more protracted torture on his victims. But it is a labour of love with ISABELLA. She is a worthy niece to FERDINAND, a true daughter, in every respect, of MARIA CHRISTINA. To judge from the mode in which the conspiracy against the Constitution was conducted she has even more cunning than BOMA, and is, therefore, the more dangerous of the two. Besides, as we have already stated, her only claim to reign is based on the Constitu tion. It is the foundation on which her throne rests. She has, therefore, exhibited at the same time greater courage and greater ingratitude in so deliberately kicking down the ladder to which she owes her elevation. It is, therefore, difficult ' to decide which is the more objectionable of the two. They are apparently arcades ambo—a phrase of which Lord 13vRoN has offered an appropriate translation. There has as yet been no eruption of the slum bering •volcano at Naples ; but the dangerous character of the ground on which BO3IBA is re posing is too well known to need description. The Western Powers, who have ample means of enforcing obedience, have in vain remonstrated. He shuts himself up in the peculiar obstinacy of his disposition, and treats with contumely nn pleasing advice. Even the recommendations of Austria are equally disregarded, although it is solely on the Austrian bayonets that he can depend for a single week's security. lie has hardened his heart against the consequences-- which ho will be the first, and probably the only one, to deplore when things have taken their inevitable course. There can, however, be no Garman interfer ence in the affairs of the Iberian Peninsula. There is no pretest arising from previous occu pation, or possible dangers to neighbouring I doin g so he was g uided very - in the Indian papers; but he was luippy to find tnat Lne Itstome4 wile corroborated by the opinion of Lord Dalhou gates in which Germans are interested. The matter is one for the decision of Spaniards, and Spaniards only. England will keep aloof from the contest, but it will be her duty to see that others display similar impartiality. We may pity the Spaniards, but they must assert their own privileges, and display the indispensable zeal and energy, if they hope for ultimate success. The cunningly-devised scheme, in which ISA - DEMI enacted the chief part, has obtained a temporary triumph at Madrid. But . it remains to be seen what will be the results in the Pro vinces. As we stated yesterday, no less than 85 members of the Cortes have found their way to Saragossa. And the Assembly thus constituted must be regarded as the legitimate Parliament of Spain. The treatment accorded to the members, who at Madrid held a meeting under their legitimate President, General INFANTE, shows that many others participate in the feelings of those who have seceded - to Saragossa, and would, if possible, join them in their delibe rations. It will be seen that O'DorrNEnn refused the meeting claimed by the Deputies, declining to recognise its legality, on the extraordinary ground that it had not the liberty necessary for delibe ration, "in consequence of the pressure which may be exercised on it by the insurrection." Surely this is rather a strange assertion, when, at almost the very same moment, they state that " the rebellion is overcome and terminated, and the empire of the law is re-established." The authority of the Cortes is just as legitimate as that of the SOVE REIGN, and when she choses, in the effort illegally to attain absolute power, and to set aside a co ordinate authority, any resistance that may be offered to the illegal proceedings is fully anal completely justified. In the telegraphic despatches from St. Sebas ' tian, which we published in our impression of yesterday, it was said that "at Saragossa matters were in a fair way of arrangement." It must be re9ollected, however, that this was altogether a one-sided statement, and that the telegraphic communications are still interrupted, which proves that the Constitutional party are still in the ascendant in that city. Unless, then, ample con cessions are made, we cannot anticipate an early - restoration of tranquillity, or suppose that civ 1 strife can be averted, the flame whereof will spread through other parts of Europe, until a general entest shall arise between the conflicting prin ciples of Liberty and Despotism. What we have a right to ask from our diplo macy is, that we have timely cognisance of its doings. This practical demand implies all the principles which are most important. Nearly at the same moment a noble protest comes to us across the Atlantic, from the pen of Col. FREMONT, against secret diplomacy ; and Lord MILMESBURY, in our House of Lords, gives a provoking practical illust'ration of its oversights and incompetency. The British public is taking at the present an in terest in foreign politics beyond anything it has felt during the present generation, and now, therefore, seems to be the proper time to arouse public attention, if possible, to the rottenness and mischievous working of the system on which our foreign relations are managed. I t has already re ceived some rude shocks by its miserable achieve ments at Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and, indeed, almost everywhere ; but, above all, in the discreditable termination of the CramrroN affair. Mr. M. GIBSON seems very desirous we should be at the expense of another secret service agent at Wash ington, but will his triend COBDEN not tell him that he would never be worth the cost of his voyage across, and probably, sooner or later, get us into some fresh scrape ; unless, indeed, he be charged to become livery-servant to the next Pre sident who may want one behind his chair whoa he canvasses for a renewal of his office. 1001. FRE3IONT says plainly, " Internation 11 embarrassments are mainly the results of a secret diplomacy, which aims to keep from the know ledge of the people the operations of the Govern ment. This system is inconsistent with the ch 1- racter of our institutions, and is itself yielding gradually to a more enlightened public opinion and to the power of a free press, which, by its broad dissemination of political intelligence, secures in advance to the side of justice the judgment of the civilised world. An honest, firm, and open policy in our foreign relations would command the united support of the nation, whose de liberate opinions it would necessarily reflect." In America, it is a hopeful indication, that the COLONEL'S views are not without vigorous support from the press of his country ; the New York Tribune argues for dispensing entirely with high paid representatives at foreign courts, and in this country we have had a journal adopting the same strain, which a short time back would have sneered, at the suggestion, as the last barbarism of the Manchester School. We certainly have not been scholars in that Academy since it effectually taught the country the single lesson it ever was master of, but we are happy to acknowledge its merits as a denouncer of the uselessness and mischievousness, as well as cost, of our secret diplomatic system, and indeed of the system altogether. Mr. GIBSON, in his love to Messrs. PIERCE, MARCY, BUCHANAN, and the other Ostend appropriators of Cuba, would desert the standard of the great cotton mill members, and send the States another Minis ter. Perhaps, however, his cotton manufactur ing constituency share his inconsistency. The fresh exemplification of secret-service do faults is the destruction by the Russians of the fortresses of Reni and Ismail, on the Danube, before they left that district. Lord MALMESBURY justly pressed upon the Foreign Secretary the injury thus done to Turkey, and the alter native that either he and Lord COWLEY had ill performed their part, or that Russia had acted with perfidy. Let us note the answer. It is in brief that Russia was perfidious to an un doubted understanding that the forts were to be preserved, but that it was so well understood that he (Lord CLARENDON) should have been ashamed to require of Russia written stipulations. Ashamed to bind Russia by a written undertaking ! Had our plain men of business seen what was going on what would they have said to omitting from the bond anything they wished to be binding on the other party ? But had Lord CLARENDON himself forgotten the value of au understanding with either Russia or Austria ? Had he forgotten the infernal massacre of Sinope perpetrated in violation of an express understanding, indeed of a verbal pledge ? Had he forgotten the cowardly shirking of the understanding of a written engagement between the. Allies and Aus tria by that power ? And, after such experience of what an understanding with heartless, selfish, despots, with no standard of honour but interest, is worth, could he be so unbusiness-like, for we acquit him of complicity, as to omit from the bond anything of serious importance ? Timely pub licity would have corrected this. Might we but have seen the stipulations before they were unalterable hundreds of Englishmen would have demanded an engagement, in a form which even Russian perfidy could not evade, so soon after it was made, and before the Crimea was evacuated. The blunder is, in truth, a eOrioll3 one. To a moue ; Luurenuio, 1114 uvr must be taken to vindicate British honour am& to yAr., THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1856. country whose six per cents, are scarce aboire par, the cost of placing two fortresses, most important to her future defence, in au efficient state of repair, we should rather say of reconstructing them, is a serious matter. Our secret servants, however, have so managed that not only have they secured to Tarkey no indemnity for the heavy expenses to which she has been put by the wanton aggressor, but they have allowed him to saddle her, with fresh charges. This innocent reli ance on the honour of a court whose pride at home is not its honour, but its successful violence and knavery, could never have betrayed us could we but have warned our diplomatists in time. But for the popular fatuity, or indolence rather, which tolerates a system like this, how different would have been the terms of the peace ! —how different for Poland, for Bessarabia, for the! Crimea, for Circassia, for Turkey herself. But an end must be put to the scoffing of Premiers and their subordinates when our repre-, sentatires ask how our diplomatic account stands with foreign Powers. We are not for ever to be mocked with the reply one week, that the business is not yet complete, and the next, that it is now settled beyond our power to alter it. We must now demand to look into the diplomatic ledger at all times, and to know how we like the items as far as they are posted up. Wp could then generally tell how the thing was working, and make provision in time. Why should not every power on earth be told by our Ministers that they do their business as servants of the nation ; that they keep, therefore, all prO 03edings open to the nation ; that the people can canvas every step, and that none can be taken which they will not scrutinise. As to all the Courts who disapproved of this plan, the less we had to do with them the better. They could de sire secrecy for no other reason than some con templated unfairness to their own subjects or to us. We wish for no transactions with Foreign Governments which we are ashamed should see daylight as they proceed ; if they need the dark ness, we do not, and should remind them that, in our view, honesty and publicity were inse parable.

This role was one of the triumphs of the great Pasta from 1825 to 1329, end has also been performed by Malibran, Viar dat, Brarsbilla, Granclolp'ai, Cesari, aad Alboni. The cast last night, although not performed by Italians, was first-rate, and highly satisfactory, not only to the general public but to the rcgalar habitues of the opera, if we may judge from the very frequent and enthusiastic ap plause they so liberally accorded to the principal artistes concernet The chief favourite pieces in the opera are "Di tanti r alpitl" aria, "L'asciami non t'ascolto," and " M'abbraccia Argirio" duets, " Gli infelici affetti mief ' quartette, "Il braccio mio conquiso" aria, " Gran Dio" aria. Brsidee, there was an aria from " Zelmira " in troduced. Madlle. Jenny Baur made a moat interesting Amenaide. Her interpretation of this role was replete with intelligence, and the result of careful study; her vocalisation was brilliant in the extreme, but particu larly in the aria "Gran Dio," in which she fearlessly executed passages above the ledger lines with the most perfect ease and effect. In fact she shared the honours of the night with the great protagonists, Tancredi, and was recalled several times during the evening. Herr Reichardt, as Argirio, was most successful. The caba- Telt° of the duet " M'abbraccia Argirio'' with Mallet. Wagner was full of vigour and taste, and was raptu rously encored ; and the introduced aria, "Sorte secon dami," was a masterpiece of the vocal art, which was duly appreciated and applauded by the audience. Mon sieur Bouche, as Arbazzano, was, as he always is, per fect, careful, and firm as a rock. One of our contempo raries rays IVadame Pasta made a grand tragic part of Tancredi, bu that " this is one of the traditions con nected with that eminent dramatic ringer which ought to be received with caution." We, who have frequently been that truly grand artiste perform the role, can affirm ihat it mcs a sups' b tragic display, which never can .be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to wit ne3l4 it ; but great as it was, and "green" in our me mory, we must, in justice to the talented young artiste, Johanna Wagner, say we were delighted with her splen d'd reading and interpretation of this highly dramatic i etc. Her recitatives war© all given with extraordinary declamatory vigour, large in style, and expressive in sentiment ; and her execution in several of the favourite morceaux was (considering the calibre of her voice) truly wonderful. This was most remarkable in the cabaletto to " Di tanti palpiti," and the duetto with Reichardt, " Ah se di mall mier," which were both rapturously and deservedly encored. In fact, her exertions were crowned with complete success, and she was summoned by the unanimous voice of a fashionable and crowded house seven times before the curtain. General Windham returned to his family at Myton House, near Lcaminztoo, a few days ago. He was met by a large concourse of frienda, who loudly cheered him from the railway station to his residence.

She brings no news of importance. The Deputies had voted the bill to autl}o• rise the 330,000/. loan for Public Works: ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE.—Thi case commenced yesterday at Bath. The Archbishop of Canterbury pre sided in person. The proceedings were merely formal. The examination of the witnesses will commence to-day. THE SPONDON MU - ADEL—The inquest on the body of Enoch Stone was resumed on Monday, and a verdict of wilful murder against some persons unknown was re turned. At the annual meeting of the Commercial Bank hold yesterday, Mr. Mark Hunterpresiding, the dividend de clared was at the rate of 7 per cant. for the half-year, with a bonus of 4 per cent., making altogether a distri bution of 11 per cent. for the year. A. correspondent suggests that, as the merchants con nected with the Cape of Good Hope are anxious to write by the steamers shortly about to leave with troops, some special intimation from the Post - offic e o f th e p er i o d when they are likely to start would be serviceable. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH FIRE-ARMS.—Mr. Wakley held ai inquest yesterday, at Highgate, on the body of the man who was accidentally shot by a young man named Isaac Spooner. A. verdict of accidental death was returned. AUSTRALIAN AND AMERICAN MAILS.—The White Star mail packet Mermaid sailed from Liverpool yester day for Melbourne, having on board. 270 passengers, a full cargo of dry goods, and the hi-monthly mails.

Letters and papers intended for her should be marked " Per Eagle, from Liverpool." The post-office closes at 12 at noon, with late fee of id. at 12.30 p.m. RECOVERY OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—A telegraphic despatch was received yes terday from Sydney, Cape Breton, announcing the re covery of a large portion of the submarine cable lost in an attempt to lay it in August last off Cape Breton. The only further announcement was that the cable recovered would be sent on immediately to this city. This was the cable lost from the James Adger, and was 74 miles long. The cable, previous to being shipped for this country, was insured in London for $75,000. The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, to whom it was consigned, sued the Board of Underwriters in Lon don to recover this insurance, the underwriters having refused to pay it. A settlement was recently effected by the Board of Underwriters paying $69,000, and re nouncing all claim to the cable. Some two weeks since persons were sent ou from New York by the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, to make efforts for the recovery of the cable, and at Cape Bretoa they chartered a vessel for the purpose, with the result as above stated. This cable was an inch in dia meter, with four conductors insulated with g,utta percha. One intended as a substitute for it is now being laid by the brig Pocontus between Newfoundland and Cape Breton The recovered cable will probably be used for telegraphic purposes across some of the larger rivers or lakes of the United Stateo.--New ivrlc Zirtio, July 8! rMY ya.... SPAIN. The Paris Moniteur of yesterday has the follow• ing despatch from Barcelona, dated Saturday last : "At 5 o'clock yesterday evening a movement took place at Barcelona. Tne general in command here instantly sent his troops against the rebels, who dispersed themselves immediately, and entrenched themselves in the manufacturing quarter of the town, to the west of the Rambla. By 11 o'clock they had erected 14 barricades. At midnight the chief of these were carried by assault ; the others were not defended. " This morning tranquillity seemed to be restored, bat one battalion of troops and several companies of the National Guard declared for the rebels. An order of the general immediately commanded them to dis solve themselves and lay down their arms within one hour. The disarmament was effected without re sistance. At 11 o'clock to-day , new barricades were formed in the Place of the Prado. By noon they were forced, 'in performing which General Bansols was wounded. " The musketry firing still continues, but the advantage everywhere remains with the troops. The insurgents now occupy in the town only the terraces of some of the houses. The devotion which has been shown by the troops is admirable." We have received journals and letters from Mad rid up to the 18th. The Epoca states that on the 14th Gen. San Miguel, who has the halberdiers of the palace under his command, had an audience of the Queen, in which, while regretting the resiana tion of the Duke de la Vittoria, he placed his sword at her Majesty's disposal for the defence- of the throne, if necessary. Gen. Mackron, who acted with great zeal against the insurgents, is to be ap pointed lieutenant-general, and the Marquises del Duero and de la Solana, Generals Ross, Duke, Serrano, and Menevia are spoken of as likely to receive high marks of royal favour. Gen. Amero arrived from Talladolid on the 16th with three battalions and eight squadrons. He was imme diately presented to the Queen on his arrival, and declared to her that public order was perfectly se cure at Valladolid. Espartero was still at Madrid on the 17th, and it is stated that he has asked per mission to retire to Arganda. An aide-de-camp had arrived from Valencia, announcing that public order had been maintained there by the firm atti tude of the troops, although some attempts had been made to create a disturbance on receiving the news of the insurrection in the capital. The Gazette of the 18th publishes a series of Royal decrees superseding in their posts the Gover nors of the provinces of Grenada, Valencia, Sara gossa, Albacete, the Balearic Islands, Guadalajara, and Lerida, and appointing their successors. M. Valentia Ferraz ceased to be Inspector-Ge neral of the National Guards of Spain, and his I functions were conferred, pro tempore, on M. Rios Rosas, Minister of the Interior. By another Royal decree General Prim, Count of Reuss, was removed from the government of Granada, the Queen declaring herself satisfied with his services, of which her Majesty intends again to avail herself on his return from France. The Gazette contains the following Royal decree : " Wishing to give a proof of the satisfaction I feel at the loyalty, valour, and enthusiasm displayed by the troops of all arras, composing the garrison of this capi tal, I have decreed : " ' Art. 1. All the generals and officers who have been wounded shall be immediately promoted to the rank above the one they occupy. " 'Art. 2. The soldiers who have distinguished them selves shall be decorated with the Cfass of Maria Isabella Luisa, and receive a pension for lita of 30 reals a month. Those who have been wounded shall be entitled to a pen. skin of 60 reale per month, and those rendered-unfit for service by their wounds to 6 rea's per day. I reserve to myself, besides, the right of recompensing the exploits of general and officers conformably.to the merit of each. " Art. 3. The National Guards, who, faithful to their oath, continued to perform duty in the Royal Palace, are comprised within the above provisions. "'A journal, says the Epoch, found it strange that the English Minister, Lord Uowden, did not appear at the Pa ace during the last events. The fact is not at all extraordinary, Lord Howden having been for some time abient from Madrid. The Representative of the British Legation, Mr. Ottway, during the absence of the Am. bassador, hastened to the Palace the moment the insur rection commenced.'" The casualties of the troops are estimated at between 40 and 50 killed, and 150 wounded. The losses of the insurgents were not yet known. One of the battalion of the military which suffered most, the Ist battalion of Artillery, had 45 men hors de combat. The Royal troops engaged consisted of 13 battalions, with 50 pieces of artillery, in all about 16,000 men. The cavalry, composed of 2,000 men, was employed outside the gates in keeping up the communications between the three corps into which the Royal forces were divided. Nineteen thousand muskets and a considerable quantity of pistols, sabres, lances, &c., had been surrendered by the National Guards and inhabit ants of Madrid. The 57,000,000 of reals forwarded from France by the Spanish Credit Mobilier Company to the Government had arrived at Madrid, and were de posited in the Court of the Palace during the in surrection. A Madrid letter of the 17th in yesterday's Moni teur, says that orders have, been given there to di rect troops from the Basque provinces, from Cata lonia, from Navarre, and from Madrid itself, imme diately upon Saragossa. "In a few days from this time," adds the correspondent of the Moniteur, " we shall have news of their junction, and of the results which they will have obtained. It is thought that the command of them will be en trusted to Marshal Concha." There is no confirmation of the statement that 85 members of the Cortes have arrived at Saragossa. The French Government journals, without posi tively denying the fact, are instructed to throw doubt upon it. They all say, in nearly identical terms, that O'Donnell's cavalry being master of the country surrounding Madrid, would not probably have allowed so many deputies to leave the city. Of the 12 captain-generals now commanding pro vinces in Spain, seven were appointed under the exclusive influence of O'Donnell, and five upon the recommendation of Espartero. One of these latter is the Lieut.-General Falcon, Captain-General of Arragon, upon whom the hopes •of the insurrection now seem mainly to rest. His appointment was greatly opposed by O'Donnell, and Espartero only obtained it by impressing his firm determination that it should be made. _ _ _ Entire families from Barcelona arrived at Mar seilles on the 19th, having fled from that city on account of the great fermentation which reigned there. PROCLAMATION OF THE PATRIOTIC LEADERS AT SARAGOSSA. At Saragossa, on the 15th, immediately after the reception of the news from Madrid, all the mili tary, political, and civil authorities of the province and city, as well as the chiefs of the National Guard, assembled at the palace of the Captain- General of Arragon, and in a sitting presided over by the functionary, voted the following proclama tion : " Inhabitants of the province of Saragossa,—A. shameful attack upon the cause of liberty has been committed in the capital of the kingdom. The man who in 1854 drew the sword in the name of the law, has to day forcibly taken possession of the government of the nation in contempt of that law. He does not fear to shed the blood of the people that he may substitute his arbitrary power for the national sovereignty. " The city of Saragossa, ever heroic and the firmest rampart of liberty, cannot remain indiffer. ent in the presence of such an attempt ; it must constitute itself in open opposition to the ministry with the unshaken resolve not to lay down arms until the liberty of the country is safe. "In bringing events and resolutions so grave to our knowledge, the Junta of Saragossa invites you to rise as one man, to gather round it and hold yourselves ready to resist the power which seeks to impose upon us, by grape shot, its absolute will. But the Junta cannot abstain at the same time from recommending you to proceed with the greatest moderation, avoiding all that may compromise the sacred cause you are called upon to defend. " Consider the advantage which our enemy would gain from the slightest excess on your part, and the joy with which he would see anarchy glide in amongst us. All this would but give too many opportunities for legitimising his intervention. cc Union and xogiotanco to tho Niigotry of th e RAILWAYS-MB CAM. fr. c. fr. C.

If there had been no Mr. Crampton in this country there would have been no fuss ; and no Mr. Dallas in England, no danger of his dismissal. It is high time, in a word, that the flaunting pomp and political jobbing of our diplomatic missions were knocked in the head. It is utterly false that the American Ministers to France or England have the slightest value in promoting what is called good feeling. In the first place, good feeling should spring from our self-respect, and if we have that, and such international comity be wanting, we need not care. And as for a resident Minister doing any service in case of a menace difficulty it is all sham. The peace of this country with Western Europe is solely maintained because it is the interest of the parties to keep the peace, and not because there is a legation in the Faubourg St. llonor6 or Euston-square or at Washington. When resident diplomats were instituted there was little inter course between nations. Some sailors at the ports, and some of the nobility and gentry on the grand tour, formed the entire number of travellers, and constituents of intersocial life between whatever nations. More Ame ricans go to Europe in a week now than went from Eng land to France in a year a century and a half since. In Shakspere's time the intercourse between England and France was similar to that now existing between Oregon and Central Africa. Indeed, it does not appear that the greatest man England ever produced ever crossed the Channel, tlioegh we judge from his "Lear" that he had stood on Dover Cliffs. Thus, when intercourse properly speaking had no existence between the two nations, diplo macy was at its height. In the extent and splendour of his retinue, the ambassador was only second to the mo narch—to the incarnated grandeur of the entire national. mind and force. L ought to strike every ono but poli ticians in office, who are always the last persons to corn' prehend economic illumination and the prophetic novelty of any epoch, that although ambassadors, when people did not travel, were necessary, American ambassadors are not necessary now when people like the Americans do travel. But every American who travels to spend money (and all do spend it), every ca-h and cotton freighted steamer that shoots athwart the main is infi nitely a better ambassador for the purpose of keeping the peace than all the :Tangled perfidies of old diplomats, who never were anything else but spies of the peace es tablishment, while history shows that the slights offered to them more than once led to the wars which they were intended to avert ; in the same way that the Crampton affair would years ago have led to a war that would have been impossible if the Eng lish had no so-considered peace dispensing repre preeentative in this country ; and in the same way that the Ostend Manifesto, concocted by Buchanan, Soul 6, and Mason, because they had nothing else to do beside the dirty work of Franklin Pierce, would have led to war, equally impossible if the trio had been kept at home. Mr. Benton and Mr. Badger are the only eminent members of the National Legislature who have had the traeliuess to characterise our system of resident Ministers as a useless institution--a mere means for re warding partisans, pampering political %vire-pullers, and robbing the public. Under these circumstances it would be well, now that England has no representative in this country, to resell Mr. Dallas, with a view of breaking up the whole system of resident Ministers, and depending on the ocean mail service, and, at rare occa sions, a special minister for our entire diplomatic inter course in future.—Ncw York Tribune. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 14.—Another atrocious crime has been committed near the capital, on board the English barque the Globe. She had a mixed crew, the master, the mate, two sailors, and a boy being English, and the five other sailors Italians—namely, three Neapolitans, a Venetian, and a Triestine. These latter determined 'to assassinate all the English on board, take away whatever they could, and make their escape in the boat. The vessel was coming in from the Black Sea to the Bosphorus when they re solved to carry out their design. They had carefully prepared everything, and went even so far as to secure all the table knives which could have served as arms, - Aboutr 3 o'clock in the morn ing, on Monday last, the boy awoke, hearing a groan near him, and, looking up, he saw one of the Italians busy cutting the throat of one of the English sailors, who was asleep. The boy, fright ened, rushed to the cabin where the master and the mate (his brother) were sleeping to give the alarm; they had only just time to shut themselves up in the cabin when the murderers, having shot the other English sailor who was at the wheel, came up and tried to force the door. Seeing that they could not succeed, they lowered the boat., took with them whatever they could lay hands on, and pushed off for the Asiatic coast. When they were gone the mater and mate brought in the vessel with great difficulty,:and gave information of what had happened to Admiral rGrey and the Turkish authorities of the port. The Admiral sent off im mediately the Recruit, one of the Prussian gun boats, in pursuit of the fugitives, while the Turks gave a detachment of marine soldiers. After following the coast for about thirty miles, they got the first information at a place called Shivi, where three European sailors had been seen. A party of soldiers was landed, who attacked them, and two were captured and identified by the master. The third escaped. While this party was chasing these three the Recruit went on to the next place and caught another. There are indications that the fifth man has been murdered by his accomplices. The Recruit has brought back the three who were caught, and they will, I hear, be sent to Malta to be tried there. On'Saturday, at 3 o'clock a.m., the town of Pera was put in commotion by the cries of " Fire," and before two hours had passed six wooden houses in one of the narrowest streets were burnt down, in spite of the speedy assistance which English, French, and Turkish engines rendered. The fire was only stopped by the storehouses on each side. While the fire lasted the plate of Major Brett, who lives in the same street, but was that day in the country, was stolen. The practice is on these oc casions to remove as much as possible from the neighbouring houses. This was done in Major Brett's house, and when the things were taken back again the plate-chest had disappeared, toge ther with that officer's lndian. medals. 'RUSSIA. - Lady Wodehouse was presented on the 14th inst. to the Empress of Russia; and the Grand Duchesses Alexandra Josephovna, Alexandra Pe trovna, and Marie Nicolaievna ; and Lord Wode howe, on the same day, was presented to the Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaievitch, and the Grand Duch esses Alexandra Petrovna and Marie Nicolaievna. THE JULY FETES AT BRUSSELS. The following is the speech of the King of the Belgians in reply to the addresses of the members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Representa tives on the 21st inst. : " Monsieur le Pr6sident du Sdna,t, Monsieur le Pr& sident de la Chambra des Representatives— "l am profoundly touched by the noble sentiments which you have just expressed to me in language so affec tionate and elevated. I think I may recall on this solemn occasion a - pasEiage of the discourse of the 21st July, 1831 I have only accepted the crown you offered me with a view of fulfilling a task as noble as it is useful—that of being called to consolidate the institutions of a generous people, and to maintain their independence.' The accomplishment of this great mission met with numerous difficulties. The indepen dence of this good people, achieved only as it were, the day before, presented itself as a proble,n before Europe, distrustful and disquieted. Their free institutions, founded without any intervention of Royalty, had not then received the consecration of experience ; their improvized administration awaited the reform of their organic laws ; opinions were divided by im passioned appeals and jealous influences ; and material interest, suddenly disturbed, felt alarm for the future. Soon, however, thanks to the good spirit of the country, order and unity appeared in the midst of this temporary confusion ; doubts and di-quietude were succeeded by confidence and security. Strengthened in the interior by the organisation of its different administrations, ar.d by the foundation of a national dynasty, the country ceased to be in a state of fatal isolation, and saw its independence guaranteed by the most solemn treaties. An intelligent activity was given to works of public utility. The existence of an army strong by instruction and discipline was as sured. The sources of public prosperity were reopened. Commerce and manufactures were developed with a rapidity almost prodigious, and that old and precious industry of the country, agriculture, followed the move ment by prudent ameliorations. Letters, science, and the arts shone as in the best days of our history. A trial, however, still awaited our nationality; a crisis broke out profound and universal ; but even in that crisis Belgium knew how to find new force, give new proofs of her vitality, and acquire new titles to ge neral esteem. I take pleasure in ascribing to the na tion itself the honour of a privileged situation, which seems to defy the boldness of our hopes. The an cient morality of the Belgian populations, their pro found sentiment of duty, their good sense, their practical intelligence, their deference for the paternal views of their King—all these qualities united have powerfully contributed to cause them to avoid the dangers of being led away by exaggerations, and to make them recognise instinctively the true conditions of our political exist ence. Gentlemen, since 1830 Belgium has been able in moral order as well as in material order, to accomplish the labour of an entire century. There remains to us a duty to fulfil—to pursue, and to achieve, in the same spirit as that which presided over it at the commencement, the work of ouryoungand brilliant civilisation. In the past it was union which constituted our strength in the days of triumph of our nationality, and it was by it that in the days of trial it became reinvigorated. For the future it is still in union that resides the secret of our prosperity, our grandeur, and our duration. Let us seal anew the alliance between the nation and the dy nasty of its choice. Let us strengthen the union of all the members of the great Belgian family in common devotion to our beautiful country. Let us incline our selves before Divine Providence, who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, and who, in its impenetrable designs, has called to itself a beloved Queen, whose ab sence alone renders incomplete the joys of this memor able day." The King of the Belgians; received at a solemn audience on Sunday at the Palace of Brussels the Earl of Westmoreland, envoy extraordinary of the Queen of England, who presented a letter, in which her Britannic Majesty congratulates the King on the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, July 21.—Six boxes of letters, forming part of the India mail closed in London on the 26th of June, have been left behind in Egypt, and will be forwarded only with the next mail. They consisted of one box for Calcutta,two for Madras, one for Bombay, one for the auritius, and one for the Reunion. The cause of this unto ward event was that one of the camels laden with these boxes, being_ a wild unmanageable animal, strayed away from the other camels and was- not found until 24 hours after. The steamer Cadiz which might have loft Suez for Bombay with the mails on the 7th was detained until the evening of the Bth, but as no traces of the missing camel had been discovefed she had to start without them.

A meeting of the Unity Joint-Stock Mutual Banking Company took pl ace y es t e rday, when resolutions were passed authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for increasing the capital as occasion may require to 2,000,0001. by the issue of 17,000 additional shares of 1001. each, 501. to be paid up. ft was explained that not more than about one-third of the shares will be issued for the present, as the capital will be created only as the in creasing business of the company may require or the establishment of branches may present prospects of stIC . cess. The first issue will be limited to 3,000, to be divided pro rata among the existing shareholders. oo jections were raised to the establishment. of nume rous branches, but it was intimated that if any when started shall not prove remunerative they will be immediately closed. When the propectus of the Unity Bank was issued in April last a doubt was expressed whether its proposal for an equal division of profits between sh are h o ld ors and customers could be carried out without rendering the latter equally liable with the shareholders for all the debts of the concern. Subsequently, however, a state meat was put forth that an unanimous opinion had been obtained from Sir Richard Bethell and Messrs. Willes and Cooper that it would not have th a t resu l t. O w i ng to the important bearing of the matter on the question of limited liability, some reference was recently made to it in the House of Commons, and the case and opinions, in the form in which they were laid before the Board of Trade, were ordered to be printed on the motion of Mr. L ow e. These have made their appearance as a Parlia mentary paper, and are to th e e ff ec t th a t " th e rece i p t by a customer in the manner proposed, of annual or half-yearly interest on his minimum or other balances for the preceding year, will not render such customer either directly or indirectly liable as a partner of the Bank."—Times. D.R. RAE AND THE ARCTIC EXP EDI- TIOIM TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIRES. Sir, —In the Times report of Lord Wrottesley's speech in the House of Lords on Friday last, on the subject of Arctic Expeditions, his Lordship remarks that at tone time I was within 50 miles of the place where, Es- quimaux report, about 40 white men had peri by shed, but that, unfortunately, although amply provided with means, I did not consider it necessary to visit the spot. I beg to say that when I was within 50 miles of the place alluded to I was not aware that it was the locality where the dead bodies of our unfortunate countrymen had been found by the Esquirnaux, and it was net until after my return to Repulse Bay, in the end of May, that I received information on this point. I ought perhaps to have been more explicit iu my re port on this subject, but I could not imagine that any one would believe cue to be so utterly indifferent to the fate of Sir J. Franklin and his party (to searchfo a r . whom I had been four seasons employed by her m jest's Governmisnt), or so perfectly careless of my own interest, as to leave a question of so much importance undecided, if a walk of 50 or 100 miles could have set it at rest. There is nothing new in this accusation being brought against 'no, but hitherto it has appeared in such a form that it would bo stooping too low for a person even in my position publicly to notice it. Your obedient servant, J. RAE. London, July 21. PIOSPECTS OF THE SPORTSMAN.—The shooting sea son now approaching, sportsmen's prospects excite at tention. We have reports from the principal moors and forests in this and the adjoining counties. These ac counts speak of disease having been to a slight extent prevalent among the grouse in the earlier dry months of spring.

In the valleys ap pearances are more favourable, pretty large broods having been seen looking 'Aron ZgnCourapt. and well advanced. 7- .

"Newcastle, July 22, 1856." CHELMSFORD RACES-YESTERDAY'. The races seem likely to wind up merrily the festivities which attended the Agricultural Show. The course was thronged with pleasure folk ; indeed, on no former anni versary of the meeting was the attendance of general company so numerous. A warm sunny day, too, materially contributed to heighten the enjoyment of the sport. The success of Polestar for the handicap wag, as the betting indicated, a " foregone conclusion." Th e mare won cleverly, and she was Ly many regarded with not a little interest and curiosity, from the fact of her h aNing belonged to I'almer's victim—the late Mr. J. P. C.: iok.
