Wisp, S.W.—Light, with slight rain, and drill weather, gun, ~T~.e LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1866. Already Australia has been brought " with two months" of England. We are justified in using the expression, for time is certainly a far more important element in mercantile calculations than distance. The responsibilities of mercantile men are all in accordance with the pace of old " Chronos," who never lags in his course. The payments are to be made so many months after date, and it would be of vital importance not only to the well-being of our colonies at the Antipodes, but also to the manufacturing and commercia interests, to which they are such extensive cus , tomer, to secure speed and certainty for our postal communications. " The Royal Charter" is the vessel that has accomplished the shortest passage on record, having arrived in Hob-,on'a Bly within 59 days after her departure from Plymouth. The great fact has been achieved entirely by individual enter prise ; and Government will have no excuse for failure, when they have received so valuable a lesson from a private source. In such a case there can be nulla vestigia retrorsant—we may, and do, look forward to a further improvement. We may reasonably anticipate a further reduction of a month in the course of post, so that answers may be received within the significant period of " three months after date." But there can be no retrograde movement —nothing to require three-quarters, or even a half-year before a•reply can reasonably be anticipated. The mode by which the Royal Charter has performed this important duty is the judicious combination of sailing and steaming. Her screw, as has been well remarked, is literally "auxiliary." It was only resorted to during 14 days of her remarkable passage, the remaining 45 being per formed as a sailing vessel. She is, in fact, a first class clipper-built iron vessel, of 3,000 tons bur den ; and the "screw" is so arranged that it can be shipped or unshipped in a very short time, so that in any calm or adverse wind she can trust to her steaming powers, while every " favouring gale" will be turned to the best advantage. The total consumption of coals was under 200 tons, so that no extraordinary portion of her space was required for the means of going on ; and even if the fuel totally failed, she would be able to com plete her voyage without danger to crew, passen gera, or cargo. But the Australian colonies are entitled to far more at the bands of the English Government, and it must be given, if we desire to maintain and render permanent the valuable connection. There are two routes by which the time may be further economised, so as to bring it within 50, if not 45, days—indeed in one instance the parties have undertaken to pay 501. penalty for the first day's delay, increasing 50/. for every subsequent day. This proposal has been very properly ac cepted by the Government, and the contract com pleted. It is ohs Suez, but it will only be a monthly journey, and it is obvious that the lose of a few days may delay the communication a full calendar month. Now, we ask, why should there not be a second despatch, and by a different route, so as, by sending duplica ,te advices, to prevent the possibility of serious damage from any local disturbances or possible a ccident. As we have stated, the Australian col( A:lies deserve his at tention at our hands. Bu t they have "set their own shoulders to the wheel," and hive already appropriated to the purpos;e more than sufficient to pay the full amount required by the contrac tors for a monthly mail. Mr. WILSON declared, within the last three weeks, that the Treasury would willingly meet a moiety of the expenses. Why, then, should the route by Panama not be inaugurated. It would probably not require a greater outlay than the Government had offered, and we aro convinced that if any additional ex penditure were required, our Australian brethren would willingly pay their fair share. When this is the case, how can the British Government hesitate? Should they do so, it may furnish another illustration of the fatal consequences of " a penny-wise and poun I foolish plicy." We trust, however, that Minis ters may adopt a wiser and more statesman like course, and that having already secured a monthly communication via Suez, they may lose no time in establishing one of a similar character via Panama, so that there may be a fortnightly mail to and from Australia, and by means thereof with New Zealand. We earnestly commend to public attention an - article on the subject of the then contemplated peace, which we have extracted from the columns of our respected contemporary, the Sydney Empire, of the 19th April, and which will be found in an other part of this day's impression. It clearly and distinctly exhibits the views and feelings of onr intelligent brethren in another hemisphere as to the duty of Great Britain in reference to the conflict in which we bad been so wantonly involved, and the imperative necessity, so far as the honour and interests of England were concerned, of turning to the best ad vantage the golden opportunity that was afforded. Considering the period at which this admirable article was published, and the scanty inforalation that was then available to our Aus tralian contemporary, it speaks trumpet-tongued in favour of his political sagacity and inflexible patriotism. He shows beyond the possibility of doubt or dispute, that if the propositions— which have, unfortunately, since been oarried into practical execution—should be acted on, " Eng , land would have spent her blood and treasure in vain." We cannot conclude without adopting the remarkable and spirit-stirring conclusion of this powerful article. We have repeatedly enun ciated similar opinions while the subject was yet under discussion, and when it was brought to such an inauspicious terminatioi, and it is with ' pride that we feel that the Editor of the Sydney Empire should at a distance of many thousands of miles have so com pletely shared in the sentiments which we have unceasingly put forward to the best and utter most of our ability. Might not the fol lowing spirited address be published in the British metropolis even this very day ? "No true Englishman can feel exalted or cheerfully satisfied with such an impotent coaclu sion to all the fervour and glorious enthusiasm which was still animating the whole nation to see justice done to oppressed Turkey. This is the result—before the object has been attained— of all our mighty preparations to paralyse, for half-a-century at least, the means in the hands of the CZAR to profit by his neighbour's weakness. The cause of Poland is shelved. We shall hear little more of Italy. If Hungary move, it will henceforth be by the assistance of the CZAR. Ind what of Sweden ? Will her alliance with the Western Powers be forgotten by the Russian Cabi net ? Is she to be betrayed, and in the next European embroilment lose Norway for that anticipated interference ? There is something un holy about this contemplated peace which makes it rather prophetic of pernicious than of fortunate results to the nations concerned. It holds forth no prospect of genial durability. It seems but as an apology for shifting the scenes of bloodshed, and changing the role which each of the great actors has hitherto unsuccessfully performed." TEER SVN, LONDON, FRIDAY RVRNiIiG, JULV 14, 1856 Some six months since, and before the accep, ante by Russia of the peace propositions put for ward by Austria with the concurrence of the Western Powers, a decided and general improvt ment was perceptible in the Money Market. A. the quotations of approved securities on the Stock Exchange had within a few days increased nearly 2 per cent. The market, which had been in a very depressed condition, completely recovered its buoyancy, and great animation was displayed not only among the habitual jobbers, but on the part of the general public. The Bulls were sti mulated to the highest degree of joyous excite ment—they looked as if a glorious victory had been obtained, as if another Sebastopol had fallen, and that the Allies had exhibited an unflinching resolution to follow up the triumph to its legiti mate results. The Byars, on the other hand, seemed completely chop-fallen. Previously they had it all their own way, and had succeeded in working down the 3 per Cent. Consols to 85/, but a rapid rise to 87T, repressed their unpatriotic exultation, and made them regard the existing state of affairs with a " green and yellow melancholy." Had the nationality of Poland been recognised, and. its indepenience and integrity guaranteed by the Western Powers, they could Rot have been more completely dispirited and humiliated. A stranger to the operations of the Stock Ex change would have been completely astounded at the excitement prevailing on every side. Nothing was known respecting the progress of the War. There was no reason to suppose that Russia would abate a particle of her unreasonable pretensions, and the AUTOCRAT was, according to the Ameri can dialect, as " bumptious" as at any former time. Nor was it any apparent liberality on the part of the venerable old Lady of Threadneedle street—any anticipated reduction of the minimum rate of discount below the 7 per cent. which she demanded for pecuniary accommodation, even on first-class paper. Far from it ! Toe AUTOCRAT was more bellicose, the Old Lady more exacting than ever. But there was a rumour in circulation that fully accounted for the auspicious change ! It was positively asserted, and generally credit3d, that Government contemplated, ou the suggestion of the honourable gentleman the member for Westbury, the issue of no less than twenty mil lions of really national notes of convenient deno minations, not convertible into gold. on demand, but which would be rece iv ed in payment of all duties and taxes into the national Exchequer. The suggestion was received with enthusiasm, and it received that sterling and unquestionable proof of public approbation, a rise of 2 per cent. in the quotations. If the mere hint produced so great au effect, what would the reality have accomplished ? It is not too much to say that the improvement in prices would have been more than quadrupled, and that every description of investment would' have been enl ►anced in value at least 8 or 10 per cent., and thi tt all the natural capabilities of the United Kingdom would have been fully and com pletely developed, and that every man able and willing to labour would have achieved that great desideratum the certaia 4 ,y of " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work.." Capitalists would still receive fair remunerative interest for their accumulations, but they would not be enabled to seize the lion's share. of the profits, while those by whom they had many been earned were starving in the midst of a l oundance. We should certainly hear nothing of the impious cant respecting over population and over-production, as if any of our fellow-creatures -whom the DEITY had gifted with au immortal spirit could be got rid of, or there could be over-production so long as a hungry hu man being wanted food or clothing. It is true that the Bank of England should be restored to its proper position as a private trading corporation--that the notice which would for over sever the connection between the State and the Bank should be speedily given. But this created no alarm even amongst the proprietors of Bank Stock. The quotations thereof participated in the general improvement, and on ample founda tion, for judging from the profits realised by other Joint-Stock Banks unencumbered by State protection, the dividends would be largely increased, by obtaining free trade in money and unrestricted competition in legitimate banking operations. That the issue of notes is not l indispensable to success may be gathered from the fact that those realising the largest profits are, under the present law, precluded from sending notes payable on demand into circulation ; and although the power, under judicious regulation, would be beneficial alike to those great establish ments and to the community at large, the Old Lady would not be in any degree worse off than those who are enabled to obtain and profit by the business which she turns from her doors, in con sequence of the baleful influence of State protec tion. In fact protection, in any form, is almost as injurious to those in whose favour it is enacted as to the great body of the people. It exercised a demoralising influence, which prevented the fa voured few from striving to deserve the support which they believed was secured by Act of Par liament. Farmers did not endeavour to discover the best modes of cultivation, because they thought that the Corn Laws insured a certain monopoly. They were therefore always grumbling and dis contented, while people were writhing under the intolerable burdens, and since the abolition of the broad tax they have been better off than during its continuance, save at the times when, in com mon with all the industrial and productive classes, they suffered from the effect of a tightness in the Money Market, and the withdrawal of pecuniary accommodation, which the manufacturers of bread require as largely as the manufacturers of textile fabrics, or the merchants or traders who deal therein. Let then the people, and more especially the Monetary Reformers, exert themselves to obtain the great boon, the mere suggestion whereof pro duced such extraordinary results in January last. Let them demand the speedy dissolution of the ill-omened compact between the Bank and the Government, which places the control of the cir culating medium—the very life-blood of industry —in the hands of a private trading corporation, whose first object must naturally be to secure the largest amount of profit for themselves, reckless of the results which their operations may and must produce on the general welfare and pro sperity. Lot there be a rmll National Bank, placed under the control and direction of a de partment of the Government responsible to Parlia ment, and lot there be an adequate supply of 11., 21., and 31. notes, which, being based on the en tire taxation of the country, cannot be depreciated, but will always maintain a purchasing power; the only point which the party receiving the "worth less rag" would consider. The addition of 20 millions of such currency would, as Mr. JAMES WILSON some time since declared, " immediately add to the effective capital of the country, to our stock of commodities, or, what is the same thing, our command over them to the extent of 20 mil lions, just as much as if we dug that amount of bullion out of the centre of England." Surely such a result would be worth a strenuous effort ou the part of those now suffering under a defici ency of the only recognised representative and measure of value. Let them make the attempt, ' 1 and the great object will speedily be accomplished. e- " There's many a slip between the cup and the lip" says the old adage ; and, applying it to Hampstead Heath, we would have the population of the metropolis remember the preservation of their favourite place of recreation can only be assured to them when the Heath is legally turned over to their all - just claims upon it being satisfied. Whether this be effected by the Metropolitan Board of Works, by volun tary subscription, by Government, or by the two latter united, let them never rest satisfied until it is so. None of these agencies, under the pecu liar circumstances, might not with more or lesspro priety be appealed to ; the Metropolitan Board in its representative capacity and as aßoard of Health, voluntary subscription as for a charitable object, involving a great popular benefit, and Govern ment, if not in its paternal (?) character, in part discharge of a debt long owing to the metropoli tan population, whose welfare has been sacrificed to avoid offence to the Corporation Moloch. So far as our own feelings are concerned, we should prefer the purchase of the Heath by voluntary subP3ription, considering the many heavy claims on the Metropolitan Board, and the danger there is of disgusting Londoners by heavy taxation with the principle of local self-government. But the vast importance of having the health preserved overbears any consideration of this sort, and if Government aid is to be had, the population are entitled to it on more grounds than we have indicated, and may fairly seek for it. All we insist on is—let there be no cessation of effort until Hampstead Heath is the people's. It sometimes happens, in the busy course of life, more especially in great cities, that good sub 3tautial citizens who have turned an honest penny to some account, forget "The days they went a gipsying A long time ago," and need the friendly turn of having them brought to their recollection. Probably these columns may fall into the hands of some such well-mean iug migrates. Indeed we are certain of it. So let us at once be confidential. You know—it is no use denying it—you used to take somebody out an airing to Hampstead Heath, and were wont to say, after you had peeped under that somebody's bonnet, how good the bracing breeze, more espe cially if taken on the back of a Jerusalem pony, goaded to persaltatory locomotion, was for the complexion. You know yoti did ; and you know, beside, you anticipated every jaunt a week before hand, and chawed the cud of satisfaction at the remembrance a week after. Our dear fellow, the Hampstead breeze, is as good as ever it was, the donkies as nimble, and blushes as rosy and becom ing as ever they were ; and, by a strange provi go% there are young folka now as there were the; only perhaps their faces are a little sallower, and they want fresh air and recreation rather more than you did. Give them what help you can lend them in the way of influence. Honour the old days by doing your best to enable others to enjoy the innocent pleasures that enlivened and consecrated them. Speak out for Hampstead Heath ; do as were you young again you would be done by. In case the metropolitan reader has no pleasant reminiscences of this sort in connec tion with the Heath, still we claim his voice in his capacity of valetudinarian. Between him and us and the post the air of the Heath has salu brious properties, if taken with reasonable exer cise, that would surprise you. O.ily try, and in the meantime speak up for the Heath. Badinage apart, we really cannot afford to lose it. What, after all, is it among so many ? Two-and-a-half millions of population, that is twenty-five hundred thousand people, with only this really salubrious spot where air may be had " neat as imported " to resort to within several miles of the city ! Only think of it ; and threatened with the loss of that. There's not a Cockney going has reached man's estate but will deserve the infliction popu larly reported to be undergone by adventurous • aspirants to masonic honours if tho Heath is lost ! THE SUFFOLK-STREET GALLERY. (SECOND NoTIOE.) As the collection now on view upon the walls of this, popular Gallery, the Collection ConStittiting the thirty-third annual exhibition of pictures by " Society of British Artists," is announced to close almost imniediatelywe hasten to supplement by a few remarks the opinions expressed by ts at some considerable length in its regard at the pe riod when the annual " view" for the season (about two months since) commenced. The prin. cipal contributions to the collection we then took occasion to particularise. Several pictures, however, of more than average excellence were nevertheless at the same time allowed to pass almost unnoticed, not quite unaccountably, we conjecture, in a single survey of upwards of " eight hundred" separate paintings—large and small, good, bad, and indifferent ! Besides the distraction of the attention by the mere numerical array of 800 And more productions displayedupon the walls of the Rye apartments, it should be observed, moreover, that other obstacles not unfrequently stand in the way of the merits, or, for that matter some times, even, of the very existence of a picture being recognised. For example, there is No. 192, hung a little too low, and No. 246 hung a great deal too high ! The latter (No. 246) being--so far at least as we can perceive its excellence at such an absurd elevation—a work of no inconsiderable merit, a view "On the Towey, Carmarthenshire," by W. L. Banks. The rolling up of the white clouds from the horizon ; the crisp outline of tlfe rocky eminence to the left, "shouldering," as it does, into the heavens, far above the green tree-tops 3 the jumble of the huge boulders in the fore ground where the angler is ilingiug, his delicate length of baited-hair into the trout stream—all appear to us to be ren dered with the master hand of one skilled in Art hardly less than he is manifestly observant of Nature. It seems to us a positive injustice to the painter of this graceful glimpse of mountain scenery, to lift him up so very loftily above the heads of his contemporaries, bringing his production (elevated though its pretensions may be) into such very close proximity to the ceiling of the principal apartment. The former picture already alluded to (No. 192) is a lovely little cottage interior-- " Feeding the Bird," by R. Holingdale—so true to the reality that one could almost unhook the bellows from the wall to have a blow at the fire ; :hrust one's hand inside the cage, at the open door of which the hero of the scene is pecking cheerily ; or take up from that table yonder, in the full light of the lattice, that green apple, there, seeming to tempt one to take a juicy bite out of it, from mere greediness. The old fish-salesman in No. 173, " The First of the Season," is evidently meditating in the corners of his cunning eyes the take in of some salmon-loving customer. As for No. 139, " The Expectant Wee Things ' " by E. Cock burn, there is surely no one but will at once admire the exquisite beauty of the idea of the picture—the sweetest and prettiest conceivable ! The " wee things " at the sunlit doorway, the tinniest upon tiptoe, greeting the unseen " Dad" whose shadow is cast forward by the evening light full upon the shining wall in the background. In No. 121, " Portrait of Captain Morgan of the 17th Lancers," by R. Buckner, will be seen the soldier-like effigy, lancer's cap in hand, of the heir to a historic name, estate, and reputation, those of Sir Charles Morgan of Tredegar. Painfully like, we conjec ture, must be No. 222, "Portrait of a Lady," by G. G. Bullock, in reference at once to the simpering, selkatisfied mouth and the prevailing glory in face and figure of rather pre mature embonpoint. Portions of the white drapery in 248, "Prophecy of the Destiny," by S. Ander son, remind one of that marvellous white scarf coiled by the magical brush of Mr. Egg about the felt wide awake of Lord Raglan, in his admirable picture of the Council of War on the morning of the taking of the Mamelon. Such, in brief, are among a few of the more noticeable pictures, either for merit or demerit, in the prtlsnt year's exhibition of the Society of British Artists is Suffolk-street—pic tures unobserved at first among the more obtrusive characteristics of the chief contributions to the gallery—among the sea-views of Pyne, and the rus tic groups of Hill, and the half-nude heroines and gaudy draperies of Woolmer, and the tawny, dark eyed, pearly-toothed Italian urchins of the Presi dent Hurlstone. LITERATURE. The Edinburgh , Review. No. CCXI. Decidedly the most attractive paper in the newly-published number of the Edinburgh, is the one simply entitled " Samuel Rogers." Although, there is a respectful but altogether rather depre ciatory article (among the eleven contributions making up the aggregate hulk of the contents) in reference to that portion of the " Memoirs of Sir Robert Peel," which relates to the memorable part taken by that illustrious and self-sacrificing statesman in regard to the " Catholic Question !" Although immediately afterwards comes an earnest and patriotic digest of the correspondence recently affecting so very seriously the friendly relations of Great Britain and the United States ! Although there is a learned treatise upon the " Coins of Greece "—a chapter of historic gossip interesting alike to the numismatist and the antiquarian Although these and several other contributions of importance lend their charms to the number be fore us—still, for our part, we cannot but regard as the paper in this 211th instalment of the Edin burgh, the genial and anecdotal biographic-criticism upon the author of the " Pleasures of Memory," the lettered nonogenarian who recently expired at 22, St. James's-place, overlooking the Green-park, the spot henceforth to be remembered as his classic London residence. The unobtrusive benevolence of Samuel Rogers, his caustic wit, his graceful and harmonious ve:ses, his exquisite and most fasti dious taste, his spiteful personalities, his many illustrious friendships, his breakfasts, his gro tesque features, his pedestrianism, his intui tive aptitude for the discovery of anything in the shape of a fault anywhere, his choice pictures, his celebrated mots—all these things, in this ono brief but appreciative article upon himself and his writings, meet, at the hands of the reviewer, with•a succinct but adequate cele bration. Absolute scorn is expressed, and, we conceive, not undeservedly by the writer for the catchpenny volume recently published. by Mr. Meson, under the title of the "Table Talk" of the Poet of Memory. Several excellent and characteristic anecdotes of Mr. Rogers are introduced in the course of the paper under notice, becoming more plentiful towards its conclusion. Altogether, the estimate formed of Samuel Rogers by the reviewer in the Edinburgh appears to us to be in the main very just indeed, whether viewed in reference to his heart or in re ference to his intellect. " Sir" G. C. Lewis on the Credibility of Early Roman History" is the theme of the first article in this new number of the Edinburgh—due credit being given to the censorship of Niebuhr's scepticism, adventured upon by that shrewd and speculative scholiast, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Palmer ston's Government. A critical notice of the " Diary of General Patrick Gordon" (carrying us back in imagination, while we read to the Sweden, Poland, and Russia of the seventeenth century) is followed by a very curious epitome of re markable facts and figures relating to the metropolis, under the suggestive heading, "Growth of the Map of London." Besides these, moreover, should be noticed a hasty tribute to the genius of " Heinrich Heine ;" a sketTh of a rather extraordinary historic episode under the twin title of " Cavallier and the Camisards ;" a brief dissertation upon the " Supreme Courts of Appeal ;" and a scrutinising glance at the literary " Remains of William Ar cher Butler," recently deceased—a man who, al though be died comparatively young, occupied in the University of Dublin, for ten years, the chair of Moral Philosophy :—articles completing the eleven varied contributions comprised in this, the latest, instalment of our eminent Whig Quar terly Contemporary. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. NAVAL SQUADRON AT QUEENSTOWN. The Cork Examiner of yesterday evening has the following statement : "It is very generally believed that the Duke of Wel lington, the Cyclops, and some others of her Majeity's vessels of war will arrive in Queenstown in a short time, in order to be permanently stationed here. Letters, wo understand, are now lying hi the Post-office of Queens town for persons on board some of those vessels. We have been also informed that a considerable portion of the grin-boat squadron intended to form the training school for the new Coast-guard service or naval reserve will also be stationed in oar port." THE MUTINY AT NENAGH. Another soldier of the Tipperary Militia has died of the wounds received in the late conflict of that regiment with the Line. Private William Doyle, a recruit who had but lately joined, died on Monday after intense suffering. It appeared from a surgical examination of the body that the liver was wounded, and that the stomach and surrounding parts were highly inflamed. An inquest was held by the coroner, and the jury found the following verdict : " That William Doyle died from the effects of a gun shot wound received on the B th July , 1856, fired by one of a party of regular troops, from the e ff ects of which he lingered, and died on the 14th of July, 1856. The arms of - the North Tipperary Militia were con. veyed hence to Limerick on Monday last, escorted by a party of the 17th Lancers. TEE BRITISH NAVY. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] The slumbering giant it took two years or more to waken and put forth his strength, is not, it would seem, to be drugged, through a false econo my, to the same extent as before. Even Sir Charles Wood perceives the impolicy of persisting in such dangerous treatment, and lest the greatest naval power in the world should receive a mortal blow from a less powerful but more active and un scrupulous rival, he has introduced a bill to insure a more rapid and efficient manning of our wooden walls. Casting his eyes across the Channel he sees a navy competing with ours, ship by ship, and armament by armament, and surpassing it in the provision of men. Extending his observations, America and Russia, with their powers of naval offence, meet his gaze, and in reverting homeward the fact only becomes the more glaring that we are not prepared, systematically, for war, but in case of an immediate struggle would have our men to soak as we had at the commencement of the late war, and would, consequently, be placed at like disad vantage. The result of his cogitations, stimulated, doubtless, by the threatening aspect of the politi calhorizon, is th e bill to which we hav e a ll u d e d, which, if not misapplied, may be described as be ing a good measure as far as it goes. Two opinions have not existed as to the efficiency and utility of the 2,500 Coast.guard-men drafted into our fleet during the recent contest. Prepared by previous training for every duty incumbent on or to be expected from the hardiest seamen, they formed a nucleus around which the numerous ar dent but inexperienced volunteers gathered with confidence, and thereby acquired those habits and that resolution which contact with experience and the force of example go so far to insure. This useful body Sir Charles Wood proposes to increase by 5,000 men, making, in all, 10,000, to consist of • trained seamen, who are to be kept up as the Marine Coast Blockade used to be, and drafted on board our fleets in case of war. To insure the efficieaoy of the force, guard-ships it is proposed shall be stationed at the different ports, and at tached to them a squadron of gunboats, serving alike for a protection and the purpose of training. With this scheme is to be associated the extension and training of the force of Naval Coast Volun teers, and some modification of the system of offer ing small pensions to insure the services of experi enced seamen. No doubt that provision of the bill cannot be carried out without incurring considerable outlay. But this can bear no sort of proportion to the value of the service rendered. That we doubt not will be great—more so than many anticipate ; for, un fortunately, there is too much of that drivelling credulity which can rest contented with our present condition, forgetful that the other side of the channel only no fewer than 40,000 trained, and 20,000 partially trained seamen are available at a moment's notice. We say drivelling credulity, because let a rival be ever so amicably disposed, it is never prudent to put temptation in his way ; and if there be one temptation greater than another to any, and more especially to a vair.glorious state, it is opportunity to strike a deadly blow at a pow erful but unprepared enemy. Neither riches nor power are sure possessions unless available on an emergency, and against that we ought never to expect a note of warning, but perpetually to be on our guard. As conceived in a spirit of needful precaution, and as carrying ns a step further in a right direction, the bill is deserving of approval and support, whatever modifications may be re quired in its provisions. That it will meet with both in either house is tolerably certain, as it is that if passed it will be one of the few, the exceed . ingly few, good measures passed during the entire session. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The General Post-office have posted up a notice that the Mail for Australia, by the Mermaid, is postponed till Monday evening, 21st July, and she sails on Tuesday. NORTH AMERICAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. —The Cunard steamer Arabia is appointed to sail for Halifax and Boston to-morrow (Saturday) morning. The Post office box will close at 8 a.m., with late fee at 8.30 a.m., and on the landing stage at 9 a.m. The Mermaid is appointed to sail with the mails for Australia on the 20th inst., but as the Post-office authorities have issued no notice respecting her it is doubtful if she will be de spatched before Tuesday. THE COM3IANDER•IN•CHIEF'S OFFICE, July 17.—Hi- Royal Highness. the General Commanding-in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards, on Monday next, at one o'clock. The officers of the Ist Life Guards will give a grand pic-nic party at Virginia Water this afternoon. A bril liant circ:e of the aristocracy have been invited, and a special train is to take the visitors to Windsor. Gen.

A letter from Naples mentions that the Neapolitan Government has sent to Paris the Baron Giacomo Pa varesco, " who," the letter says, " is charged with the mission of appeasing, or trying to appease, the indigna tion excited in England and France by the conduct of the King of Naples." AIISTRALIAN GOLD.—Of the 670,0001. Australian gold brought by the Frances Henty and the Earl of Sefton, about two-thirds are expected to be sent to France and the remainder to the Bank of England. It is thought probable that after this supply the purchases on French account will be suspended. New MtratTr4. ACT.— An act to suspend the making of the lists and ballots for the militia of the United Kingdom has been issued. All meetings relating to the militia and ballots for such militia are suspended to the let of October next year. Proceedings may be had dur hig such suspension by an order in Council. RIGA RAILWAY.—The Directors of the Riga Railway have issued a circular to their shareholders, cautioning them against giving credence to the reports lately cir culated regarding that undertaking, and recapitulating the nature of the documents by which their con cessions and the government guarantee are secured. FOREST OF DEAN RAILWAY. —The prospectus has been issued of the Forest of Dean Railway, with a capi tal of 65,0001., in 101. shares. The line will be about 7i miles in length, and is to pass through the important coal field of the Forest of Dean, estimated at 5.000 acres, and to connect it with the South Wales Rail way and the port of Brimspill, on the Severn. DECIMAL COINAGE.--At a meeting of the city bankers yesterday, the question was discussed as to the expedi ency of introducing a decimal coinage, their opinion Navin, been requested by the commissioners appointed to report to the Government on the subject. The con clusion arrived at, with only one dissentient, was that any legislative alteration would be undesirable. THE ALPHABET.—The alphabet may be varied so many millions of times that, if a man could accomplish the impossible task of reading one hundred thousand words in an hour, it would require four thousand six hundred and fifty millions of men to read those words, according to the above hourly proportion, in twenty thousand years. THE ROBBERY AT THE PAVILION HOTEL, FOLEE STONE.—Anguste Hastier, who stands charged with stealing a sum of money, the property of a Frenchman, named Delafosse, was again brought before the mayor and other magistrates at Folkestone on Thursday.

LATEST NEWS. INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. MADRID, THURSDA.Y. Today order is completely re-established at Madrid. The Queen, accompanied by the King and by Marshal O'Donnell, has just reviewed the garri son. The troops and the people received their Majesties and the Marshal with enthusiasm. To-morrow will take place the solemn burial of the soldiers who have died gloriously in defend- ing the throne and order. The twelve pieces of cannon posted on the Plaza Sevalda belonged to the insurgents. They were captured by the Royal troops after some hours of fighting. The insurrection has been victorious at Sara• gossa. The garrison there goes along with the people. Catalonia is in a state of insurrection. A rragon is in insurrection. Gurrea has arrived at Saragossa. General Infante having assembled some 40 members of the Cortes, General O'Donnell had dispersed. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, speaking of the Italian question, says :—" With respect to the communication received from the Neapolitan Government, the French Emperor has expressed himself with a warmth quite foreign to his usual habits of reserve. It requires no clever ness to foresee that, in the degree of temporal power reserved to the Pope, and a thousand other questions of detail, there may exist differences of opinion. The French Emperor is reported to have 1 ktely cut short' he representation of these difficul ties by saying, Let them (the Italians) settle their own affairs.'" FRANCE. PARIS, THIIRSDA.Y EVENING The Moniteur officially confirms the account we have already given of the appointment of Aide-de camp General Count Kisseleff, Minister of the Do mains, as Russian ambassador at Paris. The Moniteur is silent on the subject of the Spanish coup d'etat. Lord Lyndhurst 's speech on Italian affairs is given at great length. An Imperial decree, dated from Plombieres, directs the session of all the councils-general of the empire, with the exception of that of the Seine, to be commenced on August 25, and closed, at the latest, on Sept. 8. The arrival of Marshal Pelissier' in France (says the Cou,rrier de Marseille) is likely to be again retarded. From information which we have every reason to believe exact, we aro enabled to announce that the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the East need not be expected be fore the end of the month. This new delay will be caused by a visit which the marshal is to make to Athens, in order to ascertain from personal obser vation the political situation cf Greece. After wards, Marshal Pelissier will decide whether anew' ought to be put to the occupation of the Pirmus by the French troops, or whether the forces belong ing to France in Greece ought to be diminished or increased." "The Duchess of Berry," says the Union, " has placed at our disposal the sum of 5,000 fr. to bo dis C tributed among the departments which have suf fered most from the inundations."

Accounts from Constantinople, of the 10th, state that an electric telegraph will shortly connect Con stantinople with the Dardanelles. The Russian Consuls appointed for Turkey have set out for their destinations. The Governor of Trebizond has sent two bat talions to Batoum to repress the inhabitants of the neighbouring province, who had revolted after the departure of the Turkish troops. GREECE. ------ - The last despatches from Athens, up to the 11th, mention that Marshal Pelissier was expected at the Pirmu s. The Russians having sent back to Greece the Greek Legion that they had formed, the Greek government refused to receive these troops, and demanded that they should return to Odessa. The Cabinet of King Otho have in the meantime ap plied to the English Admiral for his assistance in supporting their protest. RUSSIA. A. letter from St. Petersburg, in the Debats, says :—" The former commander of Kinbourn, Gen. Kochanowitch, has been acquitted by the council of war, and placed for the time being in the ca valry. On the other band, General Bodisco, com mander of Bomarsund, has been placed on the retired list. Prince Menschikoff lives in a very retired manner, and remains a stranger to all poli tical affairs. General Paniutine, who during the war commanded the army concentrated at Moscow, has been appointed military governor of Warsaw. All the officers who possessed high commands during the late war have thus received fresh com mands, with the exception of Prince Menschikoff." There is a lively critical warfare being carried on still in military circles on the subject of the battle of the Alma, in which the Generals commanding in that battle seem to be the leaders. In connection with it the Simpheropol correspondent of the Northern, Bee mentions a variety of sympathetic remarks from French officers ; among them is tb• following The present peace is only for a time, just to clean up their arms, but afterwards the French and the Ml°. siane will not again be found fighting against each other." The Caucasus contains a report, dated April, of the expedition of a detachment, consisting of the garrisons of the fortresses Fresnaia and Wosdvi schenski, in the course of which the Russians on their way to the Black Mountains and back de stroyed everything they could meet with in the way of huts and stores of corn. It is mentioned further that Schamyl has married his son, who was brought up as a Russian officer, to the daughter of the Naib Tagil, whose territories had bean laid waste in the above-mentioned foray of the Russians. BUCHAREST, July 16.—The Hospodar, Ghika, has been appointed Kaimakan, and will immedi ately resume the reins of Government at Jassy. The Boyard, Theodore Baloch, has been ap pointed Kaimakan of Moldavia. A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, of the 13th, says :—" The document in which Den mark attempts to justify her conduct in the affair of the duchies is daily expected at Berlin and Vienna. It is believed that a special envoy will be despatched to the two caPitals to explain the facts of the case." — We learn from another source that the Danish Councillor of State and Chamberlain, Baron de Reedtz, had arrived at Vienna, and after an interview with Count Bille Brabe, Minister of Denmark, was presented to Count de Buol. REPRESENTATION OF DORSET AND DORCHESTER.—Mr Charles James Radclyffe, the High Sheriff of the county of Dorset, has appointed Saturday, the 26th inst., for the election of a county member, in the room of the Right Hon. George Bankes, deceased. Mr. Napier Sturt, who writes from the Guards Club, has issued an address to the electors of the borough of Dorchester, in which he solicits their votes. The nomination will take on Tuesday next. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.—At a meet ing of the inhabitants of Hackney, held on Wednesday last, it was resolved that a communication should be made to Sir Wm. Clay, Bart., Mr. C. S. Butler, and the members for the county, with re pest to the amendment to the Metropolis Local Act, introduced by the Earl of Ralinesbary, and passed in the House of Lords, "That Sturges Bourne's Act should be in future the guidance for voting in the various parish vestries ; and that the ratepayers respectfully request the attention and earnest opPosition of their honourable representatives to the un just attempt to give undue influence to property in place of individual judgment.", WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING. By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain \Taller, with the West Indian and Pacific mails, we have dates from Carthagena, June 25 ; Hon duras, June 17 ; Jamaica, June 2G; Greytown; Juno 19 ; Una gres, June 23; Demerara, June 26, Tobago and Barbadoes, June 27 ; Trinidad and Grenada, June 28 ; and St. Thomas's, July 2. The Tyne brings 128 passengers, 1,045,687 dole• in specie, and a moderate cargo. Our last advices from Jamaica extend to the 27th ult. Much regret Iwas felt at Sir H. Barkly being transferred to the government of Victoria instead of being permitted to remain, in order to complete the working of the new system of go vernment recently established in Jamaica. The new courts had been opened in Kingston under the Judioial Amendment Bill, which ap peared to work well. The weather was intensely hot, and there had been frequent indications of rain, which was required. There were but a few cases of fever at Kingston when the steamer left, and the mortality was very trifling. Much interest appeared to be manifested in favour of Captain Charles Henry bawling, the present Governor of Newfoundland, as the suc cessor of Sir H. Barkly in the government of Jamaica. His administrative ability was well. known and appreciated by the inhabitants. The French brig Moine, from Aux Cayes, bound to Bordeaux, put into Port Royal on the 25th ult., having sprung a leak. There is little alteration in the Jamaica market. A considerable addition of American butter had taken place, and prices were reduced. Sugar was being sold at 20s. to 235. The tobacco market was depressed in consequence of large arrivals. Ex change—GO days, 1# per cent. premium. At Trinidad the weather had been exceedingly wet. In the market the flour was $lO 50c. The supply had not exceeded the demand. Corn meal continued scarce, and the want of it was much felt. At Demerara the taxation of the colony was con siderably felt, tho amount required for the public service this year being equivalent to one-fourth the produce of the entire colony. Money was being ad vanced to prevent future encroachments of the sea. The weather was favourable for agricultural operations, and the estates were busy with the crops. but business among the merchants w as dull, and freights scarce. Intelligence from Barbadoes states the health of the island to be good ; rain was wanted, the drought causing the young cane crop to be stunted and un healthy in its growth. The present year's crop was finished. Several vessels in the bay were being loaded as rapidly as possible. The following pro duce had been shipped to the 26th ult.:—Sugar, 35,494 hogsheads, 2,418 tierces, 8,828 barrels, equal to 38,348 hogsheads ; molasses, 6,827 pun cheons, 167 hogsheads, 327 barrels ; rum, 96 8 puncheons, 146 hogsheads ; cotton, 35 bales ; aloes, 368 gourds. News from Grenada to the 28th ultimo states that the Legislature would meet on the Ist prox. The weather continued favourable for agricultural purposes, and the planters were busily engaged. Gen. Walker was at Granada, the capital of Nicaragua, and receiving reinforcements from the United States (of about 160 men in May and June), which about make up his losses by cholera, &c. The army of Costa Rica has retreated within As own territory, panic-stricken by the ravages of (Us' ease. The Costa Rican exchequer is empty. It is alleged that the envoy of Costa Rica has induced . the Government of Guatemala to join HonduraS and San Salvador iu an expedition with 1,000 men, with field-pieces, to co-operate against Walker, and that the President-General Carrara will march at the head of a formidable body in the month of July. Guatemala is in other respects tran•quil, developing its internal resources. Coffee and sugar are successfully raised, and it is believed the late r will this year become au article of export. The cochineal crcp has been a fair average in quantity, but of indifferent quality. The frigates Susquehanna and Eurydice met, saluted, and parted most cordially at Greytown. H.B.M.'s steamer Hermes arrived at Greytown June 16, left June 18. The yellow fever had car ried off 60 of the crew of the frigate Malacca at Port Royal, and she had left for Halifax. --- The following were the movements of her Ma jesty's ships :—At Port Royal, Jamaica, H.M.S. Hermes and Amphion. H.M.S. Malacca was at Bermuda, much yellow fever and desertion on board. Monarch left Callao for Homololo. Pre sident expected at Valparaiso. Trincomalee left Valparaiso for Vancouver's Island ; Cockatrice on the Pacific Coast of Mexico ; and Brisk had left Valparaiso for Panama ; Alarm and Havannah on the coast of California ; Eurydice at Greytown, iu perfect health ; Arachne at Island of Trinidad. 87? 88 44 37 THE PACIFIC. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING. By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain Valler, with the West India and Pacific mails, vie receive our usual newspaper files and despatches from the Pacific ports. The Pacific Steam Naviga" tion Company's steamer New Gronada arrived at Panama on the evening of the 21st of June, with 40 passengers and 400,000 dols. in treasure. Tier dates are :—Valparaiso Ist of June ; Coquimbo, 2d ; 9 . Huasco, 2d ; Caldera, 3d • Cobija, 6th ; Iquique, 6th ; Arica, 6th ; Islay, 7th ; Pisco, 9th ; Callao, 12th ; Payta, 10th ; Guayaquil, 4. Business in Valparaiso is reported as small and unsatisfactory. Importations were very heavy, and sales limited. The following are the quota tions of exports :—Silver in bars, per mark, 10 dols. 31 cents ; copper, per qql., 21 dols. 50 ceuti ;- saltpetre, 2 dole. 50 cents ; tin, 19 dots. ; 18 dols. 15 cents ; cocoa, 8 dols. 50 cents ; Chili guano, per ton, 15 dols. to 18 dols. ; saltpetre, p e ! qql., 2 dols. 37 cents ; flour, 11 cents ; when" per fanega, 5 dols. Freights—To Havre, 1151. ;to Liverpool, 4 /. ; to Swansea, 4/. 10s. Congress was open at Santiago on the let 0 June. It was supposed that Sr. Montt would be re-elected without opposition as President o f Chili, at the coming election. The treaty of friendship and free commerce be tween the Argentine Republic and Chili was cou eluded and promulgated on the 30th of April: f There were on the Ist of May upwards $18,500,000 of merchandise in the Custorwhe ns " stores at Valparaiso.' During the fortnight preceding the I st of Junect 13 cargoes from Europe and one from Chi na bad arrived. Mining industry continued prosperous, particlP larly the oopper department, which was daily in" creasing. The Rio Plata provinces were still in difficulti es, and continued to be troubled by revolution s. Buenos Ayres was devising means against the in roads of the savages. Paraguay was preparing go to war with Brazil. This latter province hau got into difficulty with the New French settlers who had established a colony there under the name of New Bordeaux. Peru and Bolivia were enjoying a momenta r y peace, although the former was in daily expecta tion of an invasion from Echinique. The yellow fever at Callao and Lima was diminishing. The Lady Elrington had arrived at Arica frorn,,LiVer" pool, and the Alice from London. PUNCH AT THE ANTIPODES ! A capital specimen number of the A felbO Punch—No. 35, vol. ii.—has just come to handl pleasantly, amidst the more matter-of-fact advie ea received by the last packet from Australia.
