The Honourable East India Company has determined to lay a telegraphic cable from Kurrachee to the head of the Per sian Gulf. . The Austrian Government has established a company with the requisite capital, paid up and guaranteed by the State, for constructing and laying down a Submarine Electric Tele graph, in connection with its land lines, from Castara or Ragusa, on the coast of the Adriatic, touching at Corfu, Zante, and Candia to Alexandria, and thence by Jaffa and Beyrout to Seleucia ; and have just concluded a contract for the immediate execution of the work. _ _ _ The Austrian Company gives to the English Government and the East India Company a priority over the public in transmitting their messages, The European and Indian Juction Telegraph Company (Limited) is established with the view to continue the elec• trio communication from Seleucia, along the line of the pro posed railway, by Aleppo, Ja'ber Castle, and the Valley of the Euphrates, to the head of the Persian Gulf, thus complet ing the only remaining link between India and England. The English Government will soon be able to communicate with Malta and Corfu by a line to those islands from Cag liari, in the Island of Sardinia, to which point the Mediter ranean Electric Telegraph is advanced. From Cagliari, the French and Sardinian Governments will have direct telegraphic communication with Alexandria and the East. All parts of India are or are about to be brought in tele graphic communication with Kurrachee, and the cable front thence of the East India Company to the head of the Persian Gulf, with the wires to be laid down by this Company will bring India by nearly 2000 miles nearer England and the Continent. When the Submarine and Indian systems meet at Seleucia the connection between the East and the West will be com plete, and England, the Continent, and India will be in bonny communication. From the arrangements contemplated it is certain that the best and safest telegraphic routes will be secured to this country. . The Austrian Government has most strikingly evinced its interest in this great undertaking, and its desire to main tain the position as the medium of communication between other nations, by undertaking the completion of so large a portion of the line. The British Government and the Hon. East India Com pany duly appreciate the power of supervision and control put into their hands by the telegraph, binding together in one the isolated and distant dependencies of the empire, and are prepared to extend their countenance and support in a fair and liberal spirit. The merchant and the shipowner are well acquainted with the inestimable value to them of the power of imparting and receiving prompt information. It is well known that heavy loss has been suffered by the Indian mercantile community through the non•receipt of immediate news of the adoption of the Austrian propositions for peace. The heavy contracts made in Calcutta and Bombay in January last, for oil seeds, jute, and saltpetre, would have been prevented by a singlo message. But the _grand source of revenue will be derived from the constant desire to communicate which is felt by members of families when at a distance from each ether; and when it is considered how many thousands of families in Englani have some near relative in India, the revenue, it is believed, from this-source alone, will be very large. From the most reliable data that can be collected, the Directors feel confident that, besides the pecuniary assistance that may be expected from Government and the Honourable East India Company, a highly remunerative return may be expected on the capital embarked. The. Directors have the satisfaction of eta' hag that they have secured the valuable co-operation and assistance of Mr. John Watkins Brett, the inventor and projector of the Sub marine Telegraph. Mr. 013haughnessy, Superintendent of Telegraphs in India. having already,laajaana nary 4. 4 0.00 spit ea of elec.. trio wire with extranrdka 'economy ankittocess, and as the cable in connection with the Indiitwaystem lo about being carried from Kurrachee to Kurnah, at the head of the Persian Gulf, under his supervision, an application has been addressed to the Court of Directors of the Honourable East India Com pauy with the view to secure the advice of this eminent and successful officer to this Company, so as to insure uniformity of design and management throughout, from Calcutta and Peshawur, Bombay, and Madras, to Selencia. The Honour abla Court have already intimated that they " would have no objection to the experience which he (Mr. O'Shaughnessy) has acquired in India being made available for the line through Asiatic Turkey." " The electric telegraph is the most beautiful and surprising invention of the age, and nothing is more interesting than to learn its rapid progress and wonderful results. The tele graphs of America are surpassed in length, solidity of con struction, and cheapness of working by those which within the last few years, while wo at home have been debating and fighting on the Eastern question, have been carried over the length and breadth of India. From Calcutta to the Indus, to Bombay, to Madras, the messages of Government and indi viduals are speeded in a few hours, at a cost comparatively trilling. Ceylon is to be united to the mainland, and the time is already looked upon as near when the Telegraph will cross the Mediterranean, run along the Red Sea and the coasts of the Indian Ocean (or rather by the Euphrates and the Per sian Gulf), and unite London and Calcutta in hourly commu nication. Wo cannot doubt that this work will be soon achieved, and that no very long period will elapse before the wires extend to Canton and Shanghai, and perhaps, running from island to island, will stretch on to Sydney and Mel bourne, and the great settlements of the antipodes."—Times, June 16,1856. One-half of the shares in this company are offered to the scripholders in the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, who may apply on or before the 2d of August, in the proportion of one share in the Telegraph Company for every five shares in the Railway Company.

This Company comprises within its objects and operations two branches of business : (1.) A system of deep-sea fishing and the purchase and curing of fish on the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea ture of the plan being the employment of 14eam-vessels as carriers from the fishing grounds to the railways. (2.) The manufacture of fish manure or fish guano from the inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish oil, The Directors refer with gratification to the observa tions of the press both in England and Ireland (set forth as an appendix to a pamphlet, which, with full detailed prospectus, may ba had on application), expressing in the most forcible manner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as to its success in a commercial point of view, but as likely to be beneficial to Ireland. _ As to the first branch of operations of the Company namely, fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated that the water- of the west coast of Ireland abound with the choicest cod, turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but hitherto, owing to a variety of causes well known, these vast resources have not been turned to profitable account ou a large scale. The Company proposes therefore to carry out a system of general fishing on the deep sea banks, and to purchase fish of every description throughout the west coast of Ireland. One of the principal features in this plan is the employment of steam-vessels as carriers, by which the fish will be collected daily at the several fishing stations, and carried to tho nearest railway. These vessels, in combi nation with the Electric Telegraph and fast trains on the rail ways, added to a plentiful sap,Ay of ice, will insure a large and regular delivery of fresh and cured fish in good condition, within a few hours at the markets of London, Dublin, Liver pool, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and all important towns in the kingdom. . . . . The Company's arrangements are in a sufficient state of forwardness to justify the expectation that fishing operations will be commenced in the month of October next. The fleet will, in: the first instance, consist of two screw steam carriers of about 150 tons, six welled vessels of about 90 tens, and six of about 50 tons. There will also be store vessels for keeping fish and lobsters alive, and several boats of from 30 to 35 feet long for seine and drift-net fishing. A most abundant supply of marketable fish may be calcu lated upon, and arrangements have been made which will insure a sale of almost any quantity. In confirmation of this fact, the Directors refer to the document in the Appendix, bearing the signatures of the principal fishmongers in London. As to the second branch, namely, the manufacture of fish manure or fish guano, oil, and glue, from the coarse and inedible fish, and the offid - of the curing stations. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this branch of the business. It is an established and incontrovertible fact, that fully one-half the fish taken either by trawl or lino fishing, is inedible or unsaleable, and heretofore the greater part has been thrown overboard. In addition to this it is also known that by the use of proper appliances hn unlimited quantity of every description of coarse fish and ciustacea may be readily procured on the western coast of Ireland. These and the offal of the prime or marke able fish, the Directors intend converting into pulverised fish manure or fish guano. As the subject of fish manure was ono of such paramount importance, the Directors requested Professor Way to examine the process proposed to be adopted by this Company, accom panied by Mr. Hermann Schweitzer, chemist, of Brighton, and .2ar.alarman,Qivil Engineer ; the result is that the opinions or the Directors are fully confirifferbOth — arathe plan which they propose to adopt, and the value of this fish manure as a product. As to Capital—lt is at present proposed to call up only 40,001:11. (of which one-half has already been secured by pri vate subscription), namely, Si. per share, payable as follows -21. as a deposit, and the remainder in three separate calls, at intervals of not less than three months. The shares may, however, be paid up in full at once, and in that case interest at 51. per cent. will be allowed upon all sums paid in antici pation of calls. In estimating the amount of profit which may be realised by this undertaking, the directors are anxious to avoid all statements which might give rise to extravagant expectations; but a most careful c&culation of the annual expenses, and a moderate estimate of returns, upon authentic data, show, upon the first branch of the undertaking—namely, fishing, purchase, and curing of fish—a return of from 30 to 35 per cent. upon the capital. The plan of operations and other information are fully de tailed in the prospectus, applications for which, and for the explanatory pamphlet, •and for shares, are to be made to the Solicitors, Brokers, or to the Se:rotary, at the offices of the Company, either ix London or Dublin, Form of Application for Shares.

The total number of prizes was 177, comprising, besides medals, tie., 240 volumes of books, and, to show that every de -.Tying boy had a absinthe of gaining some prize, it was stated that the 177 prizes were distributed-among 124_ sot's. Declamations in praise of John Carpenter, the founder, were 4 delivered in German by Edwin Abbott Carpenter,- acholer, and captain of - the school ; in Latin, by ilgar Sanderson, scholar of Clare Colle s e, Cambridge ; in French, by W. S. classical medallist ; in Greek, by J. Y. Pater ,on, Carpenter scholar ; and in English, by IL Candler, Beaufoy scholar. The German and French declama tions were exceedingly spirited. The- Beaufoy Scholar. -tarp was awarded to H. Candler ; the Goldsmiths' Ex !ibition to Edgar Sanderson ; the Times Scholarship to A. Mortimer; son of the Head Master; and the Carpen er Scholarships to E. Ledger and A, R. Vardy. Of the Lematnder of the prizes E. Abbott., the captain of the chool, took no less than seven. It would be invidious to single out from a long list any of the rest of the re cipients. As the boys came up to the table the Lord Maya. accompauied the presentation of each prize with ,one happy compbment or some kindly word of encou ragement. The ceremony, at which a great number of sessons were present., was altogether one of considerable Merest and well calculated to sustain the high reputa tion of the school. TRIAL OE THE TURKISH _PAULA. The second sitting of the court appointed to try the prisoners concerned in the murder a the Greek girl at Varna took place on the Bch. At the conclusion of the first day's sitting one of the prisoners, named Moustafa, attached to the service of the pacha, was unier exami nation, and his interrogatory was proceeded with at the ,:orninencenient of the second sitting. The appearance of the prisoner was now much changed ; his military uniform had been taken from him, and he wore a of prison dress and was in irons. The president, after recommending him fur his own interest to reveal , he whole truth, proceet:ei as follows with his ex tininatinn :—" You have stated that Hussein, having heard that the carrying off of N6 , 141a, the Greek girl, was known at Varna, Lad decided on having her Assassi nated by you ?" "Yes ;he said, If the pacha hears of it he will kill me,' and he then gave me orders to the girl and tbrow the body into the water."— Where did Hu-rein tell you this ?" "Iu the court. Far d."- 44 Did any one kno.y what he told you I" " I •annot say."—" Was there no one present ?" "Yes, ~he aide-de-camp Mehernmed, but I do not know whe ther Hussein spoke to him of the affair."—The prisoner then stated that be went to seek Vacil and the young girl. " I told her," he continued, "that wo were going to take a walk. She said that she would not go on foot, and I said that we had a carriage at a short distance. We quitted the village. It was then night. While we. were going along I told Vacil that the girl must be killed or drowned." President : " Wbat reply did Vacil make I" " Nothing. I explained to him that . Hussein wa" , alarmed at i - !.s having become '&nown at Varna that - he had carried off a Greek girl ; • that he had been told that search was being made for her, and that be wished to get rid of her. We then proceeded on our way. A shorter distance further on we all three sat down. Vacl took a rope, with which we were provided, and made a noose at the end of it. I then took the rope and threw it over the girl's neck."—"You declare that it was you who threw the rope over the neck of the girl, but that Vacil male the nOose ?'" - to` Yes."—But did nob the girl see you pre paring the rope I" "No, it was quite dark."—"Wtaat did the girl say when you threw the rope over her neck ?' " Nothing ; for the moment I had done so I threw my self on tier, and pulled the rope tight, and she fell motionless to the ground without uttering a cry?' -- 44 When you saw the girl was dead, what did you do 1" "We stripped off her clothes, which we made a package of in her cloak. While taking off her clothes. I held her by the feet, and .Vacil by the arm."--`• What did you do with the package ?" "We put it on a horse which we l , ad in waiting, near the place, and went away." -Arid you left: the body lying on the ground tiakett ?"- -"I picked up some grass and branches of shrubs, arid threw over it."—" When the body was found, it had some bayonet wounds on it. How were they male 1" " I do. not keow."—The pre sident then coueuenced the interrogatory of Mehemmed Aga, the aide de-camp of the pacha. " Where did you first see the girl Netida ?" "In the street one evening.”--" How long was this, before you left Toul tcha?" " Ab.tut eight or ten days."--- " Did you speak to her ?" " I was going to the ateube with an order from the pacba. As she appeared to be coming to speak to roe, I risked her .-,Let,, she wanted, to which Phe re plied.tbat she had some busoleF.3 with the paella, and I then continued Loy road." The interrogatory of this prisoner was coiAinutd on some unimportant details, but it was lemd impossible to get any satisfactory ans wer from trim, and the prisoner said : " Mehemmed will not reply sincerely to any of the questions which we put to him, and it is therefore useless to continue the inter- rogatory. Let the prisoner be removal." The sitting tLen closed, and further proceedings were adjourned to the 12th. THE BISHOPS OF LONDON AND DURHAM, The Right 1101%. and Right Rev. Charles James Blom field, D.D., succeeded to the bishopric of Lendon in the year 1828, when he was translated from Chester to. the. former see, as the successor of Bishop Howley, after wards translated to Canterbury. The now venerable Bishop of London is by birth of hOmble origin. He was born at Bury St. Edmunds, about the year 1788, and was the son of Mr. C. Blom field, of that town. After an edneation at the grammae school. there, he was sent, with his brother, Edward ' Valentine Blomfield, to c tilege. Ws are unable to pursue the university career of the future Bishop ; and can only notice that he .was consecrated Bishop of Ches ter in 1824. Long ere he reached this . high preferment, however, he was known for his ripe scholarship and classical e.cquiretnents. We have heard that, after leav ing the university, Chmrles James devoted 'several years to echolesiie tuelf,D.

Dr. E. Maltby, Bishop of Durham, succeeded Dr. W. Van Mildert to the see in the year 1836. He was pre viously Bishop of Chichester, and was translated from Chichester to Durham in 1836. The bishopric of Dur •ham was formerly. the richest in the kingdom. The pre bends have be& fre.queutly styled the golden prebends of Durham: The Bishops of Durham take precedenc.e next after the Bishcps of London. The ecclesiastical prefer ments belonging to the see consist of canonries in the cathedral, thee° archdeaconrie-e • with- about .70 rectories sod curacies, The Uterical Guide. for 1836 thus sets ,clown inCotee of the Bthlwp of Durham :—" Gros , yearly. income inc,uding preferments, 21,9911 e. perma elent yft4o37 . pftYments out of, the revenues, 2,925/. ; .net yearly income, subject to tenePorary.cirarges, 19,0661."

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The Royal Mail steaff.-,lip Canada has arrived with advices from Boston to the 16th, and $788,635 41c, in specie. On - Wednesday, July 9, the Senate were occupied with a debate on Kansas, in which there was a great deal of personality. The debate lasted from mid day until 9in the evening. The house were occu pied the same day.with charges of fraud against cl( , iks in the Treasury Department. The Senate during the rest of the week have been occupied with local matters. The houseliave been discussing the Brooks and Sumner affair, nd on Monday, the 14th, voted to expel Brooks by 121 " Yeas" to 95 " Nays." Two-thirds being.necessary to an expul sion, Brooks was declared not expelled. After the result was declared the following proceedings took place : " Mr. Brooks said Mr. Sumner uttered a slander on his state and venerable relative, who was absent. Not content with this he published alibel on ::is state and blood. Whoever insulted South Carolina insulted him, and he stood ready at all times, humbly and modestly, as her son, to perform his duty. He should have for feited his self-respect and good opinion of his country men if be bad permitted the offence to pass unpunished. It was a personal affair, and in taking redress into his own hands he meant no disrespect to the .Senate or the house, nor did he mean disrespect to Massachnsets. - He was aware of his personal responsibility. He incurred it, and was prepared to meet it. He knew he was amenable to the laws which offered the same protection to every citizen, whether a member of congress or in the private walks of life. He did not believe he could be punished by a emit of law and by a majority of the house at the Same time. - If he had committed a breach of privilege he was answerable to the Senate, which had no right to present him to the house for punishment. The ques •tien not only initolved__ biol. and, ieieelrieeedn ee Puteetlen whore house. If the consequences wericonfined to him self, he would be prepared to meet them here or else where. Others must not suffer for him. He had felt more for his friends—Messrs. Edmundson and Keitt-- than himself. They are blameless. Each has proved a friend who sticketh closer than a brother.' When, he remarked, the people of the great north speak of me as a bad man, they will do me the justice to say that a blow from me at this time would be followed by revolution, and they know it (applause, seemingly confined to the gallerie-) ; but no act of mine shall fa vour revolution. lam not willing to see the constitu tion wounded through me. He would say to the house that the axe applied over him may fall on them. He bad only to say that he could not retain his seat consist ently with his self-respect and rights under the consti tution. During this very session a member from Penn sylvania charged a colleague with an attempt at bribery. Where were the proceedings in that case ? By passing it in silence the house has declared bribery is excu•able, but simple assault and battery is not. He spoke of Massachussets as being in rebellion against the laws and constitution of the United State, while sitting in judg ment on him, and demanding his expulsion without a hearing. He had never been called to order, nor had he offended any officer, yet a vote has -been taken to-day transmitting him to posterity as unworthy of a seat here, because of disorderly behaviour, and in this connection he spoke of Mr. Pennington, the prosecutor, as the thumb paper,' the Falstaffian member,' &c., for which the Speaker called him to order. Mr. Brooks said that Mr. Pennington charged that the assault was murder ous, and that with a bludgeon I attempted to kill. Mr. Sumner. My friend from Massachussets over there has a pretty good•sized stick. I would thank him to raise it and submit it to the inspection of the gentleman from New Jersey—(Mr. De Witt., the gentleman alluded to, held up the stick for a moment.--(laughter). Now, that stick is double the size of the one used by me. "Mr. Trafton of Mass., here rose, and asked that the disorder in the galleries be quieted, or that they be cleared. (Hisses from the galleries.) "The Speaker said if the disturbance was continued be.would give that order. "Mr. Jones (dem o ) of Tenn—Why, I did not hear any up there just now. "Mr. Brooks (looking up)—lf I have friends in the galleries I desire them-to be quiet. He then continued —lf I desired to kill the senator from .Massachusets why did I not do it ? You all admit that I had it in my power. Let me tell the gentleman from New Jersey that expressly to prevent taking life I used an ordinary cane, prevented by a friend in Baltimore. I went to the Senate deliberately. I hesitated whether I should use a horsewhip or a cowhide ; but knowing that the strength of the senator from Massachusets was superior to mine, I thought he might wrest it from me. If he had, I might hive done what I should have regretted for the remainder of my life. "A Voice—He would have killed him. • "Mr. Brooks, resuming, said—Ten days ago, fore seeing what the action of the holm would be, my resig nation was put - into the hands of the governor of South Carolina. He then replied to several members who had said hard things of him, including Mr. Coming, quoting the remarks that "Massaohusets would take her own time ter the renesey out he would neve. rte. , ' the Statute of Limitations against the wrath of that states He quoted from Mr. Woodruff's speech, so strongly condemnatory of his conduct, saying he thought a gen tleman uttering such sentiments 'a foerean worthy of his steel and related, in the language of his friend Col. Savage, how Mr. Woodruff declined meeting Mr. Brooks in the manner recognised by gentlemen. The narration canned laughter. He said to Mr. Woodruff, ' Go, little wretch ; there is room enough in this world for you and me.' In his judgment, the cock that crows and does not fight, is despised even by hens and pullets. (Laughter.) Alluding to the remark of J. W. Webb, which has been quoted, that the act of assault deserved death on the spot, he said if those who endorsed that sentiment wished to play the game of chivalry, let them, with their whole republican crew, come and take the life which, hey say, is forfeited. If hisopponent were satis fied with the present state of the case, he was. He re turned his thanks to his friends, especially to good nor thern democrats and gentlemen who had the manhood to stand by him—not forgetting John Scott Harrison. Some gentlemen, he believed, bad voted against him, contrary to their wishes, but were operated upon by outside pressure ; and he spoke in commendation of those who gave their votes without indulging in villifica tion. He concluded by saying, Mr. Speaker, I announce to you and to the house I am no longer a member of the Thirty-fourth Congress." Mr. Oliver, of Missouri, from the minority on the Kansas Investigation Committee made a report on the 11th, in which he denied the con clusions of the majority, and asserted that Whit field was fairly elected and entitled to his seat. The old Whigs are trying to organise themselves so as to take a part in the coming election. A. con vention of this party in Maryland has declared Fremont unqualified, Buchanan Objectionable in consequence of the Ostend conference, and Fill more the only sound candidate. Fillmore's chances are looking better. The case of Mr. Herbert, the Californian mem ber of Congress, who killed a waiter, has been submitted to the jury. The Chamber of Commerce and the citizens ge nerally have united in raising funds for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in the South of France. The Chamber of Commerce have also again taken up the matter of the recovery of the duties paid for goods burnt in the great fire in New York. The news from California is exciting. .The Vi gilance Committee have still possession of San Veesooeeo with 0,000 muskets and 30 cannon. Their place of meeting is fortified with sandbags. The Governor has called Gut the militia, but the San Francisco Militia refuses to act against the committee. The Governor, with his forces, is en camped near San Francisco. The Vigilance Com mittee have issued the following proclamation " TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. " The Coreseasee or Viiiiluuue, placed in the position they now occupy by the voice and countenance of the vast majority of their fellow-chizens, as executors of their will, desire to define the necessity which has forced this people into their present organisation. "Great public emergencies demand prompt and vigo rous remedies. The people—long suffering under an org,anised despotism which has invaded their liberties, squandered their property, usurped their offices of trust and emolument, endangered their lives, prevented the expression of their will through the bellot-box, and cor. rupted the channels of justice—have now arisen tue of their inherent right and power. All po religious, and sectional differences and issues have, g i ven way to the paramount necessity of a thorough a ad fun datnental reform and purification of the social a ad poli tical body. The voice of a whole people bas demanded union and organisation as the only means of ma king our laws effective, and regaining the right s of freespeech, free vote, and public safety. " ror years they have patiently waited and striven, in a peaceable manner, and in accordance with the forms of law, to reform the abuses which have made our city a byeword ; fraud and violence have foiled every effort, and the laws 'to which the people loehed for protection, while distorted and rendered effete in practice, so as to shield the vile, have been used as a powerful engine to fasten upon us tyranny and misrule. "As Republicans, we looked to the ballot-box as our vafegeard awl sure remedy. But so effectually and: so tong was its voice smothered, the votes deposited i,n it by freemen so entirely outnumbered by ballots thru st in through fraud at midnight, or nullified by the false counts of judges and inspectors of elections at flow iday, that many doubted whether the mejority of the pe o pl e were not utterly corrupt. "Organised bands of bad men, of all politi, a 1 pa . r u o iir who assumed any particular creed frotu nierceme. and corrupt motives, have parcelled out offictm. --Ives, or sold them t 3 .the highest bidders ; them Ve ore vided themselves with convenient tools to obsy t' • eel'. not , las clerks, inspectors, and judges o f e l ect i on ; • have ern plord bullies and professional: fighters to d9 , AroY t 117 • lists bydorce, and prevent peaceable citizens from ascer taining in a I!Awful manner the true number of votes polled at our elections ; and have used cunningly con trived ballot boxes, with false sides and bottoms, so pre pared that by means of a spring the spurious tickets concealed there previous to the election could be mingled with genuine votes. "Of all this we have the most irrefrngable proof. Felons from other lautls and States and unconvicted criminals, equally as bad, have thus controlled puhlio funds and property, and have often amassed sudden for tunes without having done an honest day's work with bead or hands, and the fair inheritance of our city has been embezzled and squandered, our streets and •=-halves are in ruins, and the miserable entailment of au enormous debt will bequeath sorrow and poverty to another gene ration. "The jury box ba, been tampered with, and our jury trials have b-en math, to shield the hundreds of murderers whose red hands have cemented this tyranny, and silenced with the bowie knife and the pistol, not only the free voice of an indignant press, but the shuddering rebuke of the outraged citizen. " To our shame be it said that the inhabitants of dis tant lands already know that corrupt men in office, as well as gamblers, shoulder strikers, and other vile tools of unscrupulous leaders, beat, maim, and shoot down with impunity as well peaceable and unoffeuding citi zens as those earnest reformers who, at the known hazard of their lives, and with singleness of heart, have sought, in a lawful manuer, to thwart schemes of public plunder or to awaken investigation. " Embodied in the principles of republican Govern. ments are the truths that the majority should rule ; and when corrupt officials, who have fraudulently seized the reins of authority, designedly thwart the execution of the laws, and avert punishment from the notoriously guilty, the power they usurp reverts back to the people from whom it was wrested. Realising these truths , and con ... fident that they were carrying out the will of the vast_ majority of the citizens of this country, the Committee of Vigilance, under a solemn sense of the responsibility .111stt-rosteLugAthean.,,Jaave calmly and dispassionately weighed tha tvidences decreed -- the" death of some and banishment to others who by their crimes and villanies had stained our fair land. With those that were banished, this comparatively moderate punishment' was chosen not because ignominious death was not deserved, but that the error, if any, might Surely be upon the side of mercy to the criminal. There are others scarcely less guilty against whom the same punish ment has been decreed, but they have been allowed fur ther time to arrange for their final departure, and with the hope that permission to depart voluntarily might induce repentance, and repentance amendment, they have been suffered to choose within limits their own time and method of going. " Thus far, and throughout their arduous duties, they have been and will be guided by the most conscientious convictions of imperative duty ; and they earnestly hope that, in endeavouring to mete out merciful justice to the guilty, their counsels may be so guided by that Power before whose tribunal we shall all stand that in the vicissitudes of after life, amid the calm reflections of old age, and in the clear view of dying conscience, there may be found nothing we would regret or wish to change. " We have no friends to reward, no enemies to punish, no private ends to accomplish. " Our single, heartfelt aim is the public good ; the purging from our community of those abandoned charac ters whose actions have been evil continually, and have finally forced upon us the efforts we are now making. We have no favouritism as a body, nor shall there be evinced in any of our acts either partially for or prejudice against any race, sect, or party. " While thus far we have not discovered on the part of our constituents any indications of lack of confidence, and have no reason to doubt that the majority of the in habitants of the country endorse our acts and desire us to continue the work of weeding out the irreclaimable cha racters from the community, we have with deep regret seen that some of the State authorities have felt it their duty to organise a force to resist us. It is not impos sible for us to realise that not only those who have sought place with a view to public plunder, but also those gentlemen who, in accepting offices to which they were honestly elected, have sworn to support the laws of the State of California, find it difficult to reconcile their supposed duties with acquiescence in the acts of the Committee of Vigilance, since they do not reflect that, perbaps, more than three-fourths of the people of the entire State sympathise with and endorse our efforts, and as that all law emanates from the people, so when the laws thus enacted are not executed, the power re turns to the people, and is theirs whenever they may choose to exercise it. These gentlemen would not have hesitated to acknowledge the self-evident truth had the people chosen to make their present movement a _com plete revolution, recalled all the power they had dele gated, and reissued it to new agents under new forms. "Now, because the people have not seen fit to resume all the powers they have confided to executive or legisla tive officers, it certainly does not follow that they cannot, in the exercise of their inherent sovereign power, with draw from corrupt and unfaithful servants the authority they have used to thwart the ends of justice. "Those officers whose mistaken sense of duty leads them to array themselves against the determined action cf the people, whose servants they have become, may be respected, while their trrora may be regretted ; but none can envy the future reflections of that man who, whether in the heat of malignant passion, or with the vain hope of preserving by violence a position obtained through fraud and bribery, seeks, under the colour of law, to enlist the outcasts of society as a hireling soldiery in the service of the State, or urges criminals, by hopes of plunder, to continue, at the cost of civil war, the reign of ballot-bax stuffers, suborners of witnesses, and tam perers with the jury-box. "The Committee of Vigilance believe that the people have intrusted to them the duty of gathering evidence, and, after due trial, expelling from the community those ruffians and assassins who have so long outraged the peace and good order of society, violated the ballot box, overridden law and thwarted justice. "Beyond the duties incident to this we do laot desire to interfere with the details of Government. " We have spared and shall spare no effort to avoid bloodshed or civil war, but, undeterred by threats or opposing organisations, shall continue, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must, this work of reform, to which we have pledged our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour. "Our labours have been arduous, our deliberations have been cautious, our determinations firm, our counsels prudent, our motives pure ; and, while regretting the imperious necessity which called us into action, we are anxious that this necessity should exist no longer, and when cur labours shall have been accomplished—when the community shall be freed from the evils it has so long endured—when we have insured to our citizens an honest and vigorous protection of their rights—then the Committee of Vigilance will find great pleasure in re• signing their power into the hands of the people from whom it was received.

This " Paper " contains the names of the non-commis sioned officers and soldiers who have been selected for recommendation to the Emperor of the French to receive the French military war medal. As many persons as desire to mitigate the feelings of disgust which they must have felt on perusing the proceedings o f th e Ch e l sea B oar d Wou ld d o we ll to turn to this proud bead-roll of heroic achievement. Here we have the names of the men who did the work, while, in too miry instar , eF , , the so-called leaders looked on and left the army to its f te. Nor must it bs taken as any reflection upon the conduct and courage of the many thousands ofgal lant soldiers whose names are necessarily unmen tioned in a record of this kind. The praise of dis tinguished valour could only be assigned to those who had conspicuous cpp-o-' - nuity for display. It was impost ibio to lay 13. - -‘fore the French Govern ment the names of all the individuals iu a regiment who may have distinguished themselves by peculiar gallantry in the field or by extraordinary endurance under the extremities of human suffering. These few words we write lest there should be any sore , ness of feeling among the many stout soldiers whose deserts were great, but for whose names no place could here be found. We should aid that these are the names of the living—rot of the dead. There is no French medal for the men who toiled up the hill at the Alma, for those who saved the allied armies from destruction upon the terrible day of Inkerruan, and then succumbed. They sleep in their Russian graves. Of the living we will now give a few names—we can do no more, for they occupy 34 closely-printed pages of a Par liamentary paper: Serjeant Seth Bond, of the 11th Hus'ars, served , iu. .P.te Bulgarian campaign of II 1.% He bore his part its the affair of Boulganak and in the - battles of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman—that is to say, in all the principal actions in which a cavalry soldier could bear a part throughout the war. -44 -At thcr - Alma, - -when-orderted - -to .pureue-and-ersp- ---- ture prisoners, he exhibited great subordination in sparing (at the suggestion of a staff officer) a Rus sian who had wounded him ; and also at the action of Balaklava his coolness and gallantry were no ticed." Might not Colonel Peel have found a bet ter word than " subordination" to characterise such an action ? A man who could so conduct himself was not likly to act inhumanly even to an enemy who had wounded him. Serjeant Seth Bond, of the 11th Hussars, served in the whole of the campaign from 1854 to 1856. Driver Robert Smeaton, R.H.A., was present at the battles of the Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, the Tchernaya, and throughout the siege of Sebastopol. "On the 25th Sept., 1854, this man gallantly jumped into the river Belbek, and succeeded in saving the life of a French soldier, who would have been drowned but for the timely assistance rendered by Driver Smeaton." Here is a pretty little incident of Gun ner and Driver John M'Ardle of the same regi ment :---" On the 18th of June, during the storm ing of the Redan, Gunner Glass left the advanced trenches of the right attack with a few men, and advanced towards the Redan. On getting about half way he was badly wounded in three places. 6-unner M'Ardle crept out of the trenches on his hands and knees, managed to get Gunner Glass on his back, and brought him back into the trenches." Bombardier Angus Sutherland in the first bombardment of Sebastopol was severely wounded in both legs by the bursting of a shell. This untoward incident, however, does not seem to have slackened the zeal of the gallant Bombardier. We find him serving again in the April and subsequent bombardments. "At the explosion of the French gun-park he was one of the first men to volunteer to carry away a number of live shells and carcases." This article should consist of extracts, and yet so uniform is this record of courage and devotion that we are utterly at a loss to establish - any principle of selection. We find that Colour-Serjeant Charles Sergeant, of the Grenadier Guards, embarked with the battalion in February, 1854, and served throughout the whole campaign without intermission. No urgent pri vate affairs claimed the presence of the worthy Colour-Serjeant in England. He served at the battles of the Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, where he was wounded, and was present through out the siege and at the capture of Sebastopol. This is to say a good deal in a very few words. We earnestly trust this brave soldier has returned in health and strength to England, and is at this mo ment resting happily from the toils of war. Pri vates Philip Balls and Charles Tutt joined the first battalion of Coldstreams in Turkey in July, 1854. They were actually engaged at the Alma and In kerman, "and did duty in the trenches without any intermission throughout the siege." Corporal Jo seph Coulter, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, " parti cularly distinguished himself at the Alma, continu ing to fire on the enemy after being severely wounded." Corporal Horsfall, and Privates Daniel Moran and James Culver, of the Ist (Royal) Regiment, are recommended, for con tinual faithful service in the trenches during the whole of the siege operations. Corporal John Clarkson, of the 4th (King's Own) Regiment, was at head-quarters during the whole of the Eastern campaign, " zealous and active in' the performance of his duties in the trenches ; twice wounded, — viz., on the 14th of April and 22d of June, 1855." A short note tells us that Colour-Serjeant John Watts, of the 7th (Royal Fusiliers) Regiment, landed in the Crimea on the 14th of September with his regiment, and remained with it until the war was at an end. Here is a note of this brave soldier's achievements :—" Was engaged at the Alma, and brought the company out of action engaged with the enemy on the 26th of October, 1854, also at Inkerman on the sth of November, 1854, and brought the company out of action ; at the taking of the Quarries and both the assaults on the Redan ; never absent from his regiment." We can only regret that considerations of space forbid us to extract more names and notes from this glorious record. This Parliamentary document is as interesting as any novel or romance, and has the merit, more over, of containing simple truth. It is highly de sirable that every publicity should be given to it, in order that the brave men whose names are men tioned, and whose achievements are so briefly summed up in it, should feel that the remembrance of filar deeds will not perish from the memory of their countrymen. In remarks of this kind Ire can do nothing more than take the regiments in order as they are set down, and pick a name or two from each, not as b e in g th e names o f the most distinguished where the services of all are so emi nent, but in order to call public attention to the existence of the list. The publication of such a list may be the beginning of a better system. We admit that it is fair and reasonable that every soldier actually engaged in a victorious conflict with the enemy should receive some mark of his presence in the conflict. Nothing, however, would excite greater emulation among the soldiers than the knowledge that those among them who showed themselves most conspicuous for courage and forti tude would also be most distinguished by the ad miration of their country. "The storm of Thursday morning," says the Siecle "appears to have raged with great violence at Nantes. Toward 4 nikkight a looking glass manufactory at Sautron, four storeys high, belonging to M. MlOZe, was struck by lightning, and set on fire. A wall speed►ly crumbled away, and was followed by the fall of the entire building. The premises were insured for only 30,000 f."
