" The greater reason you should give it to him. He stands in more need of it, and will be corres pondingly grateful." Such would seem to have been the logic employed to remove the scruples we cannot but think our contemporary, the "Post," must have entertained while about to review the events of the session. And great has been its success. To read the laudations show ered on his Lordship's head, you would imagine he had conducted the most glorious session on record to the happiest possible termination, and the nation was in ecstasies over his Lordship as a Heaven-sent Minister ! Instead of which, the fact is patent and notorious, and removed beyond the region of successful disputation, that there never was a session more profitless, or of which, we will add, an Englishman had more reason to be ashamed. There never was a Premier who had so many measures kicked out of Parliament, and whose alleged triumphs, with one or two exceptions, would less bear thinking of. Is it a reasonable ground of praise we ask—the conclusion of an ignominious peace at a moment when a series of glorious victories following on a period of frightful disaster, were within our reach ? A peace that left Russia so poworful that, to judge by the pre sent aspect of affairs, no long time may elapse before, in her European relations, she is master of the situation. A peace that cost us a hundred millions of money, and has left us without one material advantage, and destitute of a single reli able ally ! Credit the Cabinet of the Noble Lord with the "unwearied application to public affairs" and " the unceasing vigilance" the Post attributes to it—certainly the Peace is but a sorry illustra tion of its "unexampled sagacity," unless by that be meant the extremest minimum of common sense. So much for the greatest event of the session. Turn to others of a minor description. Is it a reasonable ground of praise that the County Police Bill, placing the entire police of the country in the hands of the Home Minister, has been framed to the imminent risk of the liberties of the people ? Or shall we find it in the Cam bridge Reform Bill, which leaves that University almost as ill adapted to the times as the com mencement of the session found it ? And what shall we say of the rejection of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, the London Corporation Reform Bill, the Local Shipping Dues Bill, and other measures, by the House of Commons ? It would surely be hard to find matter of ministerial congratulation in the fate of any of them. Never surely had eulogist less excuse for fulsome panel, gyric. The story of the session is a story of failure—failure in great things and failure in small—failure in the Premier, failure in the Cabinet, and failure in the House,. The only success achieved has been without, for if the country is p ro sperous the people alo ne are to thank for it. Under such circumstances, to talk of the Cabinet of Lord PALMERSTON " standing forth bright i n honour and high in the estimation of the people ' is to use language which will serve the one as little as it is likely to conciliate the other. Every eye is now turned toward Madrid, or rather to Saragossa. The affairs of Spain consti tute the topic of the day. It is the excitement of the moment, in comparison wherewith all other topics are stale and flat. There'is still au ominous silence respeeting the progress of events at Saragossa, and in such case every sincere ad vocate for liberty and constitutional government must consider "nl news to be good news." The silence proves that there, at least, the Liberal party hold their own, and that " order," accord. ing to the Imperial interpretation, has not as yet been restored. The semi-official article in the Moniteur, there- fore, seems, to use the mildest terms, to have been premature. The French Government, or rather the EMPEROR—for he is the Go vernment—has too soon expressed sympathy for O'DONNELL and the cause of abso- lutism. It is painful to witness the complete casting aside of disguise by one from whom we had, up to the beginning of the present year, hoped better things ; but, according to the time honoured adage, " forewarned is forearmed," and it is well to know from what quarters assistance may be anticipated, and also the Powers that must be vigilantly watched. If liberty has occa- sionally degenerated into licentiousness, we be lieve that the name of " order " has been stil more seriously desecrated, and that the most atro cious and unjustifiable abuses have been but too frequently perpetrated under that sacred name. There seems to be a similar mistake on the part of the French Ruler as to the nature and effect o f what he is pleased to term a coup d'etat. From the article in the Moniteur, it would appear as if a coup d'etat meant only something altogether op posed to the law, for which the shadow or pretext of a justification could not be discovered. Louis NAPOLEON may be well qualified to speak on such a point. But he can scarcely expect the people of a free country, who still enjoy at least the ap- pearance of constitutional government, to coincide in his peculiar views. If the concentration of troops on the metropolis of any country in suffi cient force to overthrow for the time being any demonstration that may be excited—if the forcible suppression of the Parliament of the country, and the institution of martial law and despotic power for quasi constitutional government be a " coup d'etat,' then one has taken place in Spain— effected, too, by the vilest treachery and duplicity. The foundations on which the throne rested have been forcibly uprooted—the very title of Isa- BELLA 11. has been destroyed, and we are told, forsooth, by the scribe in the Moniteur, that this " not a coup d'etat," but " simply a resigna tion of Ministers, accepted purely and simply by the QUEEN after reiterated refusals !! !" It is needless to refute the ridiculous argument. We can only regret that the man from whom such palpable absurdities have emanated should, within little more than 16 months, have been deemed worthy of a cordial reception—nay, more, a triumphant ovation in the British Metropolis. It only proves the gullitility of the English people, and how liable they are to become the dupes of dissimulation and duplicity in high quarters. We, however, rejoice to find that there is an almost unparalleled unanimity amongst English journalists as to the real cLaracter of the affair. All are agreed as to the true nature and effects of the proceedings, and show that there is but little reason to suppose that public opinion in this country, or any influential section of politicians, will acquiesce in the judgment of the Tuileries. Even the Tines speaks out boldly and unequivocally. There can be no possible mistake respecting the following graphic description of the actual state of facts, which we ex tract from its leading columns. It says : "We find that O'DONNELL, taking advantage of his position as Minister of War, had concentrated 20,000 men on the capital. His first step was to surround himself with colleagues who had two years before, when for a few hours in office, turned the cannon of the army against the people. The first act of the new Ministry was the proclamation of martial law. The Legislative Assembly was dis persed by force, fired upon when proceeding in deputation to the presence of the SOVEREIGN, and driven from their legal place of meeting by grape shot. We find the capital in arms to resist this treasonable violation of public law, and we hear of a desperate contest, in which the National Guard, after several hours' fighting, are crushed by the large forces concentrated on Madrid. The next intelligence is that the Cortes have fled to a pro vincial town. Arragon receives the National Assembly, which declares that it has been dispersed by a monstrous act of military violence. Barce ' lona is soon in revolt, and the flame spreads. At the present moment Saragossa is held by an insur gent army, and we learn that in the south Malaga and Granada have not yet submitted. The Minis try is intent on crushing all resistance to its power, and everything is postponed until after the paci fication of the country.' " The Cortes, then, are sitting at Saragossa— " Malaga and Granada have not yet submitted.' Surely there is still hope, under such circum stances. O'DONNELL has had a temporary triumph at Madrid. But NARTAEZ, who hastened to the frontier, has not been allowed to participate in the attempt, and has been sent back with scant ceremony to his old quarters at Paris. This seems to show that O'DONNELL still hopes to conciliate the Constitutionalists. He bas certainly not wooed with great tenderness, nor appeared very chary of the blood of those for whose support he is bid ding in his own rough manner. But it shows that he still feels that he is "leaning on a broken reed" in reposing the slightest confidenee in the pledges of the Court. He has had too striking proofs of their worthlessness, to rely on any pro mises of ISABELLA 11. She has deliberately sacrificed ESPARTERO, to whom she owes her crown. She has shown that she is in capable of gratitude in its ordinary sense—that she is ready to enter into any conspiracy against the liberties of the People which she had sworn to respect, and even the instrument of her ambi tious projects cannot hope that she will deal dif ferently with him when he ceases to be useful or even necessary. O'DONNELL is a bold and un scrupulous soldier. He must be fully aware of his actual position, and the knowledge will be turned to the best advantage. We have ar rived at " the beginning of the end," and shall watch the next proceedings with great anxiety. We cannot, however, "hail the movement with sympathy !" or believe that " it is a change of a nature to. consolidate the Throne of ISABELLA." That may be the opinion of the EMPEROR, but it is not shared in by any true-hearted Englishman, or any real Liberal in any part of Europe. The " Limited Liability Bill" promises to be of immense advantage to Ireland—advantage respecting which the most ardent Irishman and the most resolute upholder of the Union can have no valid ground for difference of opinion. That hitherto unhappy country, which has suffered all the evils the absence of capital and the exhausting influences of penury and famine could dovetail into misgovernment and intestinal division, is almost without a parallel in natural resources. To one of the most fertile soils in the world, and an intelligent population, she adds, without re ferring to other sources of wealth, a mine of riches in the deep seas that flow around her great and inexhaustible. Every description almost of fish that finds its way to the Eaglish market, and com mends itself to the palate of the gourmand,' is to be had for the seeking off her coasts —many th ron g ing, as if eager to be brought to market, her mag nificent bays. The starving peasant has but to stand on the shore, and look beneath his feet to witness shoals of the choicest fish sporting in the waters. Fishermen, at once hardy, industrious, and versed in all the mysteries of THE SUN, LONDON; WEDNESDAY EVENpiet, ii - ULY 30, 1856, their craft, are not wanting. Markets in abund- ante are to be found where all the fish they could catch woulThe swallowed up with a cry for "more." Yet the Fisheries do not pay—the bountiful pro- vision of Providence does not reach the table of the Irish peasant ; and the London market, not to mention any other, is, as the dealers at Bil lingsgate have emphatically declared, irregularly and inadequately supplied with fish. Turbot, cod, ling, haddock, soles, salmon, mackerel, dorey, herrings, lobsters—none better are to be found anywhere—and the English market languishes for want of them. It is the same even with the Dublin ! The reader wonders, and gives up the puzzle in despair. A people starving, with the choicest food within reach ; a people pining in poverty, with the wealth of kingdoms at their feet—it is a puzzle, indeed ! But, like all puzzles, it is capable of solution. The fishermen have not the means of access to the markets that await the " open sesame" of enterprise. At home they are the prey of cadgers, who give as little and take as much as they can, and before, with the means at their command, a cargo could reach an adequate market the chances are it would be worthless. No wonder that the fisheries are, com paratively speaking, neglected, and the peasant labours on without a sufficiency of needful food, or seeks by emigration what he cannot get at home by simple industry. The means of transport are wanting—vessels properly fitted to carry the riches of the shores and the deep seas to the markets of this country. This want, great and deplorable as it is, we are happy to perceive a powerful com pany, under the professional direction of Captain SYMONDS, is bent on supplying. The " London and West of Ireland Fishing and Manure Com pany" (Limited) proposes to employ a capital of 40,0001., in shares of Bi., one-half of which is already subscribed in, first, carrying out a system of deep-sea fishing, and purchasing and curing fish on the West Coast of Ireland, the fish to be collected daily at the several fishing stations and conveyed to the , nearest railway by means of steam-vessels acting as "carriers f' second, in the manufacture of "fish manure" or "fish guano' from the inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish oil. In carrying out this scheme, no exist ing interest is attacked, the welfare of the Irish population cannot but be advanced, and a great impulse is likely to be given to Irish industry and enterprise, while the people of this country will be furnished with a more plentiful and regular supply of fish. As a commercial speculation it cannot but pay, if ordinary energy and perseverance are brought to boar upon it, and much more than this the names of the Directors warrant us to look for. If the supply of Billingsgate be inadequate, that for the Midland Counties, of which Birmingham may be taken for the centre, is wretchedly so. Let the fish be but delivered in good condition, and all that is brought to these markets will meet with ready purchasers. This condition the arrangements of the Company will infallibly insure, while from the refuse of the Fishery, an important item, a supply of the most valuable portable manure next to guano will be forthcoming—a manure the chemical analysis of which speaks at once for its value both to the agriculturist and in the market. Altogether the scheme is one which promises well for the share holders, and holds out a bright prospect for Ire land. In all probability we shall again refer to it, and notice some of its features to which we have not had time or space to draw attention. In homely parlance, Russia has hit the right nail on the head at last. There is, our readers must know, but one island, and that a little one indeed—a mere rock—in all the Black Sea, and to this rock the Turks gave the name of Oulan Adassi—or, SERPENTS' ISLE. Wherefore they bestowed on it that repulsive name we have no means of knowing, but from the name itself. Certainly, had they been prophets, and foreseen the years 1829 and 1856, they could not have selected a better. This uninhabited rock lies at some little distance right off the mouths of the Danube, and seems designed for nature's beacon to those who would enter its shallow estuary. Of course, as the name indicates, such a place as it was, it belonged to Turkey. The Treaty of Adria nople gave Russia tke more northern mouths of the Danube, with the islands formed by them ; but though the island is not mentioned in the treaty, and lies far out to sea, yet her cunning and ambi tion condescended to claim this little spot as not too mean for her notice. Long it lay neglected, till in 1833 she somewhat condoned her swindling by erecting a lighthouse on the rock, which must have been useful, where otherwise, from the defi ciency of sea marks, soundings are almost the only guide. The Treaty of Paris distinctly abrogates, how ever, the Treaty of Adrianople, and with ela borate pains secures the mouths of the Danube to Turkey again ; it even pushes back the Russian boundary, not to the Dniester, as it ought to have done, but far enough to include all the Islands and Lakes formed by the estuaries of the great river. The Bilssians had put out the light at the commencement of the War, for which none will blame them, but since the peace, the Turks, to their credit, have restored it. Hereupon the Russians send and take possession of it. Now, though by no reasonable construction of the Treaty of Adrianople did the Island belong to Russia, yet she had put that tortuous interpretation upon it ; obviously it never was hers, but by the same- process as she has made so many valuable countries hers. But, taking even her own ground, it of course reverted to Turkey with the other Danubian Islands. The Serpents' Isle, seized by Russia first in virtue of the Treaty of Adrianople, next in virtue of the abolition of that Treaty !—so much for the im provement of Russian notions of morality and honour. War has been to her a sharp teacher, but has she a nature more capable of instruction than the serpents for whose rock she hankers ? We remarked more than once during the War that all we had read of travels in Russia, and the conspicuous parts of her history; alike proved her to be as a nation incapable of appreciating civi lised views of faith and honour. Clever, over reaching, and prosperous violence are with her the objects of popular admiration. She looks upon successful international perfidy or burglary as the highest honour of a statesman. Her CATHA RINES, ALEXANDER; and NICHOLASES dared not have done so many deeds worthy of the gallows had they not been aware that political crimes, however degrading, brutal, or fiendish, would be received with applause by the people, and with Te Deums by the priests. Sinope and Hango are better relished in Russia than the defence of Sebastopol. Murderous frauds have the element in them which makes a Russian rub his hands with glee. It was something, to be sure, to fight the Allied armies over TODLEBEN'S earthworks for twelve months, but far more to destroy the Turkish navy in violation of a pledge, and to lure into an ambuscade the brave and kind tars who were liberating Russian captives. Here and there a MOURAVIEFF may doubtless be found, as there was a Nokli in the time of the Flood, and a LOT in Sodom ; but Deceit and Violence are the genii whom Russian politicians invoke, and whose in spiration rarely fails them. Already every movement of Russia verifies the wisdom of those -who counselled not to rely at all upon her honour. Both in the Lords and Com- mons Ministers were abundantly warned that a treaty with Russia was not worth the paper it was written on unless secured by material guarantees. The independent Press did not fail to tell them the same truth, -aud they could not - reasonably despise the veteran counsels of a LYNDHURST or she Eastern knowledge of a LLYARD. Oar Pre- mier, however, must follow his Imperial leader in " sparing the honour of Russia," instead of vindicating for England her place in the councils of Europe. And so Russia was " saved humilia tion." No penalty was exacted for aggression. Next to nothing was done to weaken her over grown power ; the Crimea, Circassia, Bessarabia, with a slight exception, are left her entire, and• the reward of the Allies is—mockery and insult even before the conditions of peace are fulfilled. The petty knavery of the Serpents' Isle is by no means all. Even poor Lord CLARENDON had to complain that Russia had violated an under standing, ,so distinct that "he should have blushed to have asked to have it in writing," by destroying the forts of Ismail and Rani after the terms of peace had assigned them to Turkey. An illustration of our main point, that even educated Russians cannot, we believe really cannot, comprehend the ideas of honour and good faith as understood in the West. Another illustration is occurring at this moment in Kars also. There, as in Bessarabia, they had blown up the fortifications which, by the Treaty, belong to Turkey ; Colonel YEATEs, at Erzeroltra, was therefore instructed to look into the business. He arrived at the place, but was refused admis sion 1 An English soldier and commissioner not allowed to enter the Turkish fort by Russians 1 Mit now for the reason :—" As long as a single English or French soldier remained on Turkish soil, the Russians did not intend to give up their conquest, or allow any one to enter within their circuit !!" It might have been supposed that when the Turks and their allies had evacuated Russian territory, and " given up their con quests," even that dishonest and shameless power would gladly have withdrawn her troops from every part of Turkey ; but she has the impudence as well as knavery to compare the hostile occupa tion of Kars with the invited and friendly pre sence of the Allies in Turkey ! Very pretty opportunity the Russian plea would furnish to England were she disposed to use it ! Because Austria invited Russian armies into Austrian territories, British fleets might, •on Russian principles, have attacked Trieste and Fiume, and have landed troops in aid of the Hun garians, refusing to withdraw till •Russia did also. We might pursue the same course in Italy, and wherever despots pretend to occupy a territory as allies of the brother despot who misgoverns it. In the matter of the Serpents' Isle, Austria is said to be very angry ; she does not like the possibi lity of a little Bomarsund there. So far as she is concerned no one would care ; but it is to be hoped. that Reni, Ismail, Kars, and the Serpents' Isle will rouse the Allies to inform Russia that they do not mean to be treated as the vanquished in the eyes of all the East. Russia retains Kars to the last, to impress the Kurdish tribes with the belief that she does as suits her convenience there, and. that Turkey, with her Allies, are Ipowerless to restrain her. Surely, even Louis NAPOLEON will not tolerate this. If he_ will, we trust Lord PALMERSTON will burst his leading strings, and . take an independent course. Kars touches English honour more than that of France. If we could allow it to be starved into a surren der, we may a least let Asiatics see that Russians are' not, after its restoration, to turn back a Bri tish Officer and Commissioner. The affair is by no means so trivial as it may appear, and Russia knows that well. Our reputation is at stake through all Persia and Central Asia. LATEST N.EWS. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This morning at 9.30 the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Capt. Comstock, which was to leave New York on the 19th inst., with the mails from the 'United States and British North America, arrived off the Great Ormshead. She is expected in the river early in the afternoon. MADRID, JULY 29. All the provinces are tranquil, Saragossa ex cepted. It is thought that the majority in the city will be disposed to capitulate. The resistance of some chiefs only is anticipated. Generals Echagues and Dulce are before Sara- gossa, and reinforcements are arriving from all sides. MARSEILLES, JULY 29. Marshal Pelissier has arrived, on board the Roland, at Malta, where he was entertained by he Governor, The Marshal was to leave the island on th e 26th or 27th. Thd Journal de Constantinople, of the 21st, disputes the occupation of the Isle of Serpents by the Russians, as well as the delay in the eva cuation of Kars, into which the Russians had thrown a reinforcement of 12,000 man. How ever, it is hoped that these affairs will b 3 ar ranged. General Codrington left Constantinople on the 21st. He was to visit Athens with the fleet that accompanied him. The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says :—I regret to think that pub lic attention lately diverted from the East will soon again be drawn towards that quarter. The Turkish Government complains that Russiashows adisposi tion not to carry out loyally the stipulations of the treaty of Paris. Instead of evacuating Kars, she has only very recently sent 4,003 men to that place, who have robbed and laid waste whole forests containing immense resources in timber for naval constructions, which were undoubtedly the property of the Turkish Empire. I understand that a note from the Turkish Government relative to these facts may soon be expected at our Foreign office. The coolness between the Courts is patent. Russia has not yet a representative at Constanti nople, nor has she thought proper to notify to the Porte the approaching coronation of the Czar. The Sultan feels the slight, and will, of course, send no Turkish dignitary to Moscow. STRAND THEATRA On Monday evening an original comedy, in three acts, eutittled " That House in High-street," was produced at this theatre. The principal character, that of a hypochondriac, was exceedingly well played by Mr. Stuart, who made his first appear ance at this house, and whose reception proved that his high talents were fully recognised by the habitues of the little Strand. Mr, George Cooke, as a benevolent doctor, Mr. Basil Potter as a dash aud impetuous ensign, and Mr. Kinloch as a lady killing major, completed the cast as far as gentle men were concerned, and were excellently sup ported by Mrs: Woolledge and Miss Isabel Adams. The success of the comedy was decisive, all the dramatis personce being called for ; and the ap plause was redoubled when Mr. Stuart bowed his acknowledgments a second time as its author. The ludicrous burlesque on "La Sonuambula" con tinues to elicit shrieks of laughter. THE COIIRT.—Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the royal family will remain at Os borne until the end of August, when the Court will pro ceed to Balmoral. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who is now residing at Frogmore Lodge, will leave her Windsor residence on Friday or Mon• day next to join her Majesty and the royal family at Osborne. The duchess will remain at Osborne until the Court departs for Scotland. His Royal Highness the Prince of, Wales, it is understood, will remain at Os borne during the sojourn of his royal parents at their northern residence, in order that he may uninter ruptedly pursue his studies. The Prince Alfred, who continues to reside at the Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park, is making rapid progress in his studies, under his tutor, Col. Cowell. The hours appropriated to his royal highness's studies are from 10 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon, and from 2 till 5 ; and he fills up his leisure hours either in fishing in Virginia Water or cricketing in the park, with the youthful members of Col. Hood and M. Yan de Weyer's families, and the Rev. Mr. Blunt. Prince Alfred will accompany his royal parents to Balmoral. Lord and Lady Brougham have left town for Broug ham Hall. We are glad to learn that the noble and learned lord continues to enjoy excellent health. Lord Panmure left town for Edinburgh last night. The present is the first recreation his lordsb phi". had the opportunity of enjoying since he took Lie leale of office. The Lord Mayor will lay the foundation stone of the new Asylum for Fatherless children at Croydon, un Tuesday next, August 5. The half•yearly meeting of the Cobre Copper Coca. pany was held yesterday, and a dividend of 3/. per share declared, there having been a large balance from the last accounts. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Mrs. Alfred Mellon—a lady who under .her maiden name of Miss Woolgar, was so universally and deservedly popular while at the Adel phi—has accepted an engagement with Mr. Dillon for the ensuing season at the Lyceum Theatre. Count RoBsi is spending the summer at Wilhelmsbad with his family. "His eldest daughter, " says the Augsburg Gazette, "inherits the talents and charms of her mother ; she is Henriette Sontag at eighteen." The incumbency of Homerton, near London, has been conferred upon the Rev. W. Browne Cave, M.A., vicar of Hope, Derbyshire. REFUSAL OF A CHURCH RATE AT GRAVHSEED.—A Church rate of 2d. in the pound has been rejected at Gravesend by a majority of 153 to 127. The rate would have realised about 901., and the expenses of the church will now have to be defrayed by voluntary contributions. —South-Eastern Gazette. The FrenCh Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, on his return from the Agricultural Show at Chelmsford, honoured Messrs. Baker's Pheasantry with a visit, for the purpose of selecting some choice poultry for her Majesty the Empress of the French. Cot. LAKE.—The Ipswich, Express of yesterday states that Col. Lake, one of the Eastern heroes, is now on a visit at Christ Church Park, and that it is the intention of the mayor and corporation to present an address of congratulation from the town to him. REBUILDING COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—On Monday morning a large body of workmen were engaged in clear. ing away the debris, caused by the fire at Covent Gar den Theatre. The re-building will commence on Fri day next, the let August. An immense quantity of iron 13... , ams and supporters for the new building, manufac tured at Nottingham has arrived, and Messrs. Fox and Henderson state that the theatre will be completed on the lst February, 1857; thus allowing six months for the building and deogations. a few days since, young men who are being edu cated for the Church, and other "distinguished " students, are exempt from military service. ITALY. Letters from Turin, of the 27th inst., state that, in consequence of the attempt at insurrection at Massa, in the Duchy of Modena, on the night of the 25th, the Piedmontese Government had given rigorous orders for the surveillance of the frontier. Troops had been sent from Genoa to the Spezzia and Sarzano, on board several war steamers, which were afterwards to cruise along the coast. The Government had likewise thought proper to take certain precautionary measures on the banks of Lake Maggiore and on the frontier of Ticino, where much ferment prevailed, and an outbreak was apprehended. TheArmonict .of Turin states that the police have just discovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition concealed in a house at Novara. The occupant of the house has made his escape across the frontier. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer arrived last even ing Paris on his route to the East, where he is commissioned to arrange the government of the Wallachian and Moldavian provinces. He was at tended by Captain Leycester Vernon, M.P. Marshal Narvaez arrived yesterday at Paris on his return from Bayonne. The Moniteur promulgates various bills passed during the last legislative session. Among them is that which inscribes on the grand livre of the public debt 600,000 fr. of rentes in the name of the Princesses of the Orleans family or of their heirs.

We have received the despatches from India and 1 China, of which a telegraphic summary appeared in yesterday's Sun. 'lhe dates are—Calcutta, June 17 ; Bombay, June 27 ; Hong Kong, June 10 ; Shanghai, to June 2. In the Bombay Times, of June 22, we read " The rains which commenced so early and so auspiciously have for the past fortnight been alto gether suspended. The Chief of Toolsepore in Oude having refused to submit himself to our authority and threatened to give us trouble, the right wing of the 73d Bengal Native Infantry, the sth Irregulars, and Captain Waldy's battery marched from Lucknow on the 24th May. They were joined at Bolarampore by the 22d Native Infantry and 38th Light In fantry and Whitley's battery. There they met Mr. Wingfield, C.S., the Deputy Commissioner, who having preceded the main body with the 38th and sth, at once took possession of the place. The troops, which were two years in arrears, offered no opposition ; the chief himself fled ingloriously and alone, seeking shelter some way in front—intend ing as was supposed to get within the Nepaul fron tier. The deputy commissioner, with a party mounted on elephants, and irregulars, now dashed on and overtook the object of their quest—their approach having been concealed by a tremendous deluge of rain—when he was surrounded and captured without resistance, the force having re turned to quarters without the loss of a man. The highest praise is everywhere considered due to Mr. Wingfield, one of the young civilians whom Sir Charles Napier in 1843 returned from Scinde to the Governor-General as unfit for duty ; the other, Mr. Riddell, is now Postmaster-General for India. Throughout our newly-acquired territory everything is as prosperous and orderly as in the old provinces of the empire. The King, after hav ing got the length of Calcutta, seems to have found his heart fail within him at the idea of leaving for England. The Sontal insurrection seems once more to have gone to sleep; the monsoon rains have drowned out the flames of discontent if any such existed, and throughout all parts of our empire the most profound tranquillity prevails. Two officers, Lieuts. Patterson and Tovey, have been dismissed' the service, the one for calling the other a 'liar, the other for assaulting his insulter. " Another court-martial has lately occurred amongst us, where the commander-in-chief tells the members that the finding is opposed to the evidence. A Lieut. Barnes had a quarrel with his superior officer, Capt. Macleod, and on the latter being ap pointed to the command of the regiment, the former asked to be relieved from serving under him. The request was viewed by the commander-in-chief as an act of insubordination—any officer on this prin ciple might request on any occasion to be relieved from duty on the plea of a quarrel with his imme diate superior, bringing thereby discipline to an end. The court acquitted Lieut. Barnes, and the commander-in-chief very severely rebuked the court and disapproved the sentence. " Gen. Sir P. Grant assumed command of the Madras army on the 10th inst., the firstcompany's officer ever posted to the rank of commander-in-chief in these armies, in which he had risen. His allow ancesare reduced by one-half under the new charter. Mr. P. W. LeGeyt, the Bombay member of the Le gislative Council, has been on a visit to the Western Presidency for the past two months, and is about to return to Calcutta almost immediately. He was last week entertained by the sirdars and nobility of the Deccan at Poona. Great excitement has prevailed within the past ten days at the presidency owing to four Parsee students from the Elphinstone Insti tution having applied to the missionaries of the free Church of Scotland for Christian instruction and baptism, three of them have returned to their friends. Lord Canning is at Calcutta, and the governors of Madras and Bombay are, at the seats of their re spective governments. " The Bombay money market has become easier, and securities of all descriptions have given way. Freights have declined, and the condition of the import market is somewhat depressed." CHINA. The Friend of China of June 10 says : " Since the despatch of the last mail nothing has occurred in this quarter calling for special re mark. The revolution is progressing. Now up, now down, the patriots at present appear to be on the ascend of the see-saw. As foreigners in China however are far removed from the fighting.ground, we have to trust to native report for all the know ledge we can obtain of the subject, and this know ledge in reality is but little." The China Mail of June 5 says : " The ratifications of Sir J. Bo wring's treaty with the King of Siam were exchanged on th e sth of April at Bangkok. Very grand ceremonies ac companied the act, and especially the acceptance of the autograph letters of Queen Victoria to their Si amese Majesties. The Hon. Company's steamer Auckland, which conveyed Mr. Consul Parkes and the English ratifications, was received by, and re turned, royal salutes from all the batteries on the Menam. The treaty came into full operation on the 7th of April. The arrival of the consul was anxiously looked for, and the prospects of trade very encouraging." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, JUNE 25.

SPAIN. The French government received the 'following telegraphic despatch yesterday evening : " St. Sebastian, 28th July. " The French Consul to the Minister of Fo reign Affairs. "No account has arrived from Saragossa since my last despatch. The uncertainty of the news is attributed to the delay of five days accorded to the Junta by General Dulco." The Madrid journals of the 25th have reached us in due course. The government has dis missed Colonel Villar, commander of the artil lery, one of the deputies of the Cortes belong ing to the meeting of the 14th, and who did not subsequently present himself to the military authorities as ordered. The government has also decided that all the persons at Saragossa, Ternel, and other places who hays taken part in the insur rection shall be dismissed. Gen. Prim had arrived at Madrid. The following, according to the Nacion, are the general recompences which will be awarded to the garrison of Madrid. Ton soldiers and cor porals out of every 100, drawn by lot, will re ceive the cross of Isabel IL, with a pension of 30 reals a month ; 20 out of 100 will only re ceive the cross. Half of the serjeants, both of the first and second class, also decided by lot, will have the cross with a pension of 30 reals a month. Promotions and employments will, moreover, be given to those who have particularly distinguished themselves. The Epoca contains the following :—"The insurrection is dying away rapidly. In vain have two free corps been raised at Saragossa, one recruited from amongst the con victs and prisoners, and the other composed of volunteers ; in vain are the troopi maintained in their sedition by all sorts of offers; the result which has been arrived at in Madrid, Barcelona, and in deed throughout all Spain, will produce in that city a profound consternation. It will bo the same, undoubtedly, at Granada, Almeria, and Malaga when the last events have become known there." The democratical journal, the Soberania, announces that for the present it will cease to appear. A brother of Puceta and a dealer in old iron, who had a captain of the regular army shot on the Square of La Cebada, have been arrested. A letter of the 25th, in advance of the regular mail, says : " The management of colonial affairs has recom menced operations in the office appointed for it apart from the old ministry. M. Marfori left for Bayonne the day before yesterday, with the answer of the Govern ment to Marshal Narvaez. The Moderados are much dissatisfied at his being recommended to remain in Paris. and at his not having had some high post conferred on him." The Revista Militrire, a special journal of Madrid, gives the following details relative to Saragossa : "General Falcon, whose intimacy with Esparfero is well known, was captain-general of Aragon, the second commandant in the province being Brigadier Moreno Zaldarriaga, an old man without energy. There were in Aragon three regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, a battery of horse artillery, detached from Valence. All the artillery and cavalry, with three battalions of infan try, formed the garrison of Saragossa. One of them was under the orders of Col. Smidt, who now forms part of the revolutionary Junta. Another battalion was commanded by Brigadier Perez, an officer of little talent, who owes all his rise from the rank of corporal to Espar tero ; and the third under the command of Col. Anton, a distinguished officer, but who during the last twoyears has given way to a political excitement amounting almost to madness. The rebellion was fomented by the civil governor, who with three or four other individuals, reputed democrats, had formed a kind of club, from the influence of which the military chief could not escape. The most serious fact hitherto known is the return to Saragossa of the battalion of Almansa, which had been detached to Soria. The officers, however, quitted the moment they had an opportunity, and some have already arrived in Madrid." The Gazette publishes the following despatches : "Gijon, which had followed the revolutionary move ment, has returned to its allegiance. Brigadier Rubin writes froni Marcia that tranquillity was re-established in that city." The Epoca gives the following account of the situation of the provinces : "The intelligence received by the. Government is completelyitatisfactory. The entire of Galicia had made its submission. Lugo, Huesca, Logrono, and Oviedo have recognised the new Government, and the social revolution has been vanquished in Catalonia. "M. Olozaga and the first Secratary of the Spanish Embassy at Paris have given in their resignations." General Prim, Count de Reus, had arrived at Madrid. in very gCod demand.

Exports—Cucton—A large and active business has been doing since last mail, and prices at one time ad vanced for Broach to Rs. 100 for Dhollera, Re. 105, and for Oomrawuttee Rs. 103 to 104 per candy ; but since ithe receipt of ad v i ces by th e ma il of th e 26th May, the nquiry has not been so brisk, and prices are looking down. We now quote for Broach Rs. 1051 to Rs. 106, Dhollera Rs. 103 to 104, Oomrawuttee Re. 104, and Mangorole Rs. 97 per candy. Purchases touch close upon 11,000 bales, chiefly on European account. Opium.—The market is in rather a declining state. We quote Mundlesar Re. 1,110 to 1,115, and Indore Its. 1,100 to 1,105. Freights.—Owing to large arrivals freight has de clined. We quote for Liverpool and London 3/. ss. per ton, and look for a downward tendency. For China we quote Rs. 9 per candy. - Exchange opened by a small sale of Bank, at 2s. lid.; local credits of superior quality fetching 2s. lad., and Documents 2s. lid.

The commercial intelligence from home to 10th May via Bombay reached us on the sth, and the steamer Hindostan delivered her packets on the 14th inst. 2 Our produce market has been in a state of inactivity since our last report, and no prospect of change can be looked for till the opening of the rivers (which have already commencad rising), when supplies will be com ing down freely and bring the market to that level as to admit of safe operation, to bear the present position of the markets at home. Imports—The market bad assumed a better appear. ance after the departure of the last mail ; but since the receipt of the telegraphic news of a fall on cotton and yarn at home, operations have somewhat been checked, holders being unwilling to submit to any fall, and buyers being at present fully supplied are not anxious to be over stocked. This, however, is not expected to last long, as the rivers being now open will soon f ac ilit a t e th e des patches of good to the upper provinces, whence we ex pect increasing demand as the season for operation ap proaches. ' Coloured yarns have been inquired for lately, and some speculative transactions have taken place in Manchester chintz and prints at an advance of 2 to 4 annas per piece yn former prices. Shirtings—Grey, 5 to 71b. and 40 inches especially have been in fair request. Sales to the extent of 104,084 pieces have been reported since our last. Prices have somewhat improved about 2 to 3 annas per piece. Figured shirtings have also improved about 3 to 4 annas. White are in limited demand, and without any altera tion in price. Coloured cottons are in moderate inquiry, and the supplies in the hands of importers being ample to meet present requirements, sales have been submitted to a slight reduction in price. kadapollams.—Grey of low qualities are in demand, and selling at an advance of 1 to 2 annas per piece. White are not much inquired for. Freights.—The limited operation in exportable goods has tended to keep down rates. The money market has continued very easy since our last, and has afforded facility in procuring accommoda tion in the Bazaar •n very moderate terms. The Bank of Bengal, at their last meeting on the 12th, made a fur ther reduction of one per cent. all round, and, from the large supply of cash in their possession, their rates must still be further lowered. Exchange on England.—The rates had advanced at the close of the last mail, when first•olass credits and bank post bills were at 2s. WO. to 28. lid. Document bills at 2s. lid, Very little has since been done, and the rates may at present be quoted—First-class bills ; at six months' sight, at 2i id to 2s lid ; document bills, at 25 ; Bank of England post bills, at 2s to 2s Oid„ CHINA MARKETS.

The steamers Valetta and Euxine, which brought out the mails of the 10th of July, arrived on the 19th and 20th inst., and return this day with the India and China mails. By the mail of the 10th of July there was brought to Egypt for India and China 975,0001. in specie, from England, including a small portion from France, being the largest amount that has ever been despatched overland at one time. The cargo from India and China is also the largest that has ever yet arrived, consisting of 3,600 packages of silks for England and France ; but the transit administration, under its present direction, was not able to bring the whole of the cargo to Alexandria in time for shipment to Europe to-day, though three days and a-half have nearly expired since the steamer arrived at Suez, and about 1,000 packages will be left behind, to be for warded to their destination a fortnight hence. Owing to the rise of the Nile, the ferry on the Rosetta branch of the Nile can now be used, and this has hitherto been the only break in the line of railway between Alexandria and Cairo. The elec tric telegraph in the Desert between Cairo and Suez has been completed, and it is to be hoped that no untoward delay will arise in the construction of the railway across the Desert, so as to leave as little room as possible for mishaps in the transit. The mother of the ex-King of Oude has arrived in Egypt, with the heir apparent to the throne of Oude and a suite of 98 persons. She is now at Cairo, where she intends to remain for a few days, and will proceed - to England by the ensuing mail. This year's crops have proved abundant through out Egypt, and, as the Nile is rapidly rising, the produce is being brought down to Alexandria for shipment in large quantities. The price of wheat has somewhat fallen. Freights are 6s. 6d. per quarter. Exchange on London continues at 101 piastres per pound sterling. The fetes given by Said Pasha, in commemora tion of his accession two years ago to the Govern ment of Egypt, and for which such extensive pre parations had been made, came off under auspi cious circumstances on the 16th, 17th, and 18th inst., at the Pasha's private palace at the Gabarri. Immediately in front of the palace there were erected three gaily decorated pavilions, for the use of his Highness, the Egyptian princes, and the consuls, and a grand portico with architectural colonnades, 740 feet long on each side, 30 feet broad, surmounted by 750 flags, with 90,000 lamps, which were lighted up each night and pro duced a very fine effect. There was also a recep tion room built, 190 feet long by 130 feet broad, and a harem for the Pasha's ladies and the Euro pean lady visitors, containing 20 rooms built ex pressl y for the occasion, and having the interior brightly illuminated. In the portico for the lower classes there was a theatre, where, among other things, was repre sented the battle of Kalafat, in which the Egyp tian troops occupied a prominent position ; and a cosmorama, panorama, dissolving views, rope-dan cers, greasy pole, Olympic races, national theatrer s and music were there for the amusement of the public. On each day all corners were fed from the Pasha's kitchens, and on each night, besides the illuminations, there were fireworks. A very pretty theatre, to hold 300 persons, was built in side the palace, in which there were opera and ballet performances, 42 performers having been brought out from Milan expressly ; and the Turk ish ladies were enabled to look on from behind lattice-work at the back of the theatre, while the gallery was for the use of the European lady visi tors. Military bands of music were stationed all over the grounds 2 • there were 300 Europea n musi cians employed at the differeht theatres, and re freshments were freely distributed to all puma. On the morning of the 16th the ceremony be gan with: the salute - or 101 guns, and the Viceroy held a levee, when all the heads of the Mahome dan and Christian clergy, and the European Con suls, in uniform, presented their respects. Red schid Pasha was present, and all the officers of the Viceroy's army and navy, and his civil employes in rich new uniforms passed before his .Highness and made their obeisance. The European mer chants of Alexandria also came forward and pre sented to his Highness a gold medal, with an ad dress, thanking him for the freedom he has granted to which he m a d e a very to the trade o f Egypt, suitable reply in French, saying that he would alWays proinot , s the .interests of commerce, which was the life of his country. Thejetesended. on the evening of the 18th with a magnificent banquet given in the large saloon, at which upw arils of a thousand guests assisted, the Europeans being invited by cards, a certain number of which were given to each of the Euro pean consuls for distribution. Opposite to Said Pasha was seated Redschid. Pasha, and next to them the principal authorities, the European Con suls-General, Europeans and natives alternating.
