Important experiments have been made during the past week with a 13 inch mortar, under the directions of a party of the Royal Marine Artillery Corps, at Fort Cumberland, one of the outposts of Portsmouth. The object of the trial was to test the utility of a peculiar contrivance for the purpose of preventing the mortar becoming heated and damaged by any lengthened firing, as was the case at Sweaborg. At one day's trial 300 shell were discharged, the time occupied being nine hours, giving two minutes only as the average of each round. On another trial 150 shell were fired in equally rapid time, and 300 more are still to be experimented with. Up to the present time, the mortar subjected to this severe test seems to have received no material in jury from the fusion or cracking of the metal. The con trivance is, therefore, so far, highly successful in its action. Hurst Castle, Dorset, which is now strongly fortified, has been garrisoned for the last nine months by the Hamsphire Artillery Militia, which regiment was dis embodied last week, and Hurst Castle occupied by a detachment of Royal Artillery from Sheerness.

PETERSBURG. HULL, SATURDAY EVENING. Colonel Lake and Captain Thompson, whose names are so indissolubly hound up with the history of Kars, arrived here this afternoon, about 6 o'clock, by the screw-steamer Burlington, Captain Wharton, from St. Petersburg. The news of their approach was brought by electric telegraph on Wednesday, and instantly mea sures were set afoot by leading gentlemen in the town for giving hem a hearty welcome. On Thursday the town council met, voted 1001. out of its funds fsr the expenses of the reception, and appointed a committee to make the preparatii ns. Bills were published announcing the coming of Col. Lake and Capt. Thompson, a public entertainment was resolved upon for them, and every. thing done to give a hearty tone to the welcome home. Accordingly, this morning the streets were gay with flags and banners. The moment the Burlington was telegraphed as approach ing, the fact was made known by the discharge of can non, the bells in every steeple rang out cheerily, the town council and foreign consuls and public bodies of the town embarked on board a stearseb ,at, and met the Bur lington, where they were introduced to the two gallant officers, and welcomed them to Hull. Cul. Lake and Capt. Thompson having gone on board the corporation's vessel, they proceeded to land, cannon sending forth a noisy welcome, and deafening shouts going up from the assembled thousands. They looked very well, though Capt. Thompson was suffering from a severe ccsld. When they landed it was with great difficulty that a way was forced through the dense and anxious crowd to the Vit toria Hotel, where asplendid Inn cheon had been provided. This having been disposed of, the mayor, who was in the chair, gave the usual loyal toasts. The MAYOR said—Ladies and gontlemen, I bars now to propose a toast which, in immediate interest, far sur passes any of the other toasts of the day. When I name to you the gentlemen who sit on my right and left, Col. Lake and Captain Thompson. (Great cheering.) It is asked " What's in a name !" Why, I had only to men tion these names to elicit the heartiest response from you. (Cheers.) I am sure you will anticipate all I am about to say on behalf of these gentlemen. I feel myself in an ex traordinary position. I am not one to pay compliments; but when it becomes a duty to pay a compliment, because it is deserved, then I say no man ought to shelve such a duty. As Mayor of Hull, and your servant, I have that duty to perform, and I feel I cannot overrate its impor tance. (Cheers.) I am sure that every one who has read the history of the late war, and particularly that part of it in which our visitors were more immediatelyinterested, will not forget that they are both Englishmen, and one of them, to a certain extent, has had a connection with the town of Hull. (Cheers.) I need not remind you how we looked anxiously hour after hour, ann read telegraph message after telegraph message for news from Kars, and how we saw some one—l will not say who—was to blame for not providing relief, and that unless that relief was provided the gallant garrison there must perish. (Hear.) And when at last we heard that the Russians, numbering something like three to one, had attacked that garrison, and got a good thrashing, we might well have three cheers. (Great cheering.) The same tele graph message told us that the British and Turks there were almost starved through our Government, or some body else, not having provided the necessaries. (Hear.) Now, we might, perhaps, be able to fight very well after the excellent luncheon we have had, but that was not the position of our friends here ; they had empty stomachs, and every man and woman there was in the same position, and yet they beat the Ru ss i ans , an d we learn that if the Turks had had any cavalry or artil lery, they might have annihilated the Russian army. The rest we know. But who have we to thank for the glorious defence of the unfortunate city of Kars ? General Williams, Colonel Lake, and Captain Thompson. (Great cheering.) It was their indomit able perseverance and courage which preserved Kars so long, and they only surrendered it when they had nothing left to eat. I feel excited, gentlemen, speaking on this subject, and I feel that Hull has much reason to be proud on this occasion of having the honour of the pre sence of these gentlemen after their long and arduous fight for the Turks, who, not able to manage their own business, sent for these to help them. Without saying more, I propose the healths of Colonel Lake and Capt. Thompson. (Tremendous cheering.) Col. LAKE, on rising, was greeted with vociferous cheers, which lasted for some minutes. Silence having at length been obtained, he said—Ladies and gentlemen, I never was so much at a loss in my life to find words to express the gratitude which I feel for the very handsome manner in which you have received us. The way in which we have been received in Hull I cannot but feel is very undeserved. (No, no.) Nevertheless, it is most gratifying to us, and to the latest hour of our lives we shall remember it. The word Hull will be engraven on our hearts. (Cheers.) My friend—if I may be per mitted to call him so—the Mayor, who has propcsed our bealths in the very handsomest terms, has given a resume of the siege of Kars, and, therefore, it is unne cessary to allude to it any further. (Yes, yes.) Wh en I 011 you I consider our rogeptiou undeserved, I MOM that we have done no more than our duty—(cheers)—,wh job every British officer ought to do. We were but subordi nates ; General Sir Wen. Williams—(cheers)—was the head and prime mover of everything. Had he been here to receive the honours which we have received, be would have returned you thanks in a much more able manner than I cea do. But you will believe me when I tell you that this is one of the proudest days of my life. Ladies and gentlemen, I shall not touch on the siege of Kars. It has already been brought before you by a townsman of your own, in a very able manner, I understand, for I have not been able to read the book. (Loud cheers.) You are aware that we did our utmost to hold the for tress of Kars to the end of the war. That we did not do so was, I think I may say without fear of contradic tion, our misfortune and not our fault. (Great cheer ing.) That we were able to repulse the Russians in the way we did was owing to the indomitable courage of the Turks. On that occasion they evinced a bravery second to none in the world. There are no troops that could have evinced more bravery than they did. And not only bravery and courage, but endurance under hard ships that would almost have knocked over the stoutest hearts. (Cheers.) To whom we are indebted for the loss of Kars it is not for me to say. It is net for me, a subordinate, to express an opinion. The whole thing has been brought before the British public, and that British public, I trust, will arrive at the rights of it. They no doubt will form their own opinion of it. I will not take up more of your time. I can only tell you again that it is with the most heartfelt gratitude we have received the invitation to this meeting from the Mayor, and to the latest hour of our lives we will remember it. (Cheers.) Capt. THOMPSON, who was suffering severely from cold and illness, briekexpres s ed his th a nk s , an d o th er tomato having been giveni , ithe two gallant officers pro. ceeded to the North-Eastern station, and took their de parture by next train to London.

Palmer still continues to exhibit the same callous and unmoved appearance that has charicterised him all along, and the near approach of death does not, so far as out ward appearance goes, seem at all to dismay him. It appears to be the impression of those who have an opportunity of observing the prisoner, that a good deal of the apparent self-possession and coolness exhibited by him are assumed. He is undoubtedly a man of strong nerves, and one having great control over his feelings. He is well aware that the slightest faltering on his part, or his making the slightest admission of guilt, would at once seal up all hope of escape, and he evidently relies upon the great exertions which he knows are being made by his friends, and the non-discovery of any strychnia in the body of the deceased operating in his favour, and that he has only nne course to pursue to assist the ope rations of his friends, which is that of steadily persisting in a declaration of his innocence. He has been visited separately by his three brothers and a sister, and it is known that on every occasion he was told that the exer tions on his behalf were going on favourably, and that he might reasonably anticipate that they would, in the end, be successful, or that at all events he would receive a respite, in order that further investigation might be made of a scientific character with reference to the poison that was alleged to have occasioned the death of the de• ceased .This feeling of hope, there is no doubt, buoys him up, and although the Rev. Mr. Goodacre, the chap lain, and Major Fulford, the governor of the gaol, have both earnestly impressed upon him their belief that there is not the slightest chance of the royal clemency being granted to him, and that it is his duty to prepare him self for the dreadful fate that awaits him, it seems that the representations of his friends have more weight with him than the truthful suggestions of the authorities of the prison, and that he clings with a desperate tenacity to the hope of a reprieve. It would seem cruel thus to raise the hones of the unhappy man, when there appears to be so little reasonable chance of their being carried out, as it will no doubt have the effect of inducing him to persist in a course of hypocrisy for the brief remainder of his existence, and when the dread certainty arrives, and all hope must necessarily depart, the revulsion of feeling will naturally be most violent. Actuated by such impressions it is not to be wondered at that Palmer has taken every opportunity of asserting his innocence, and he appears desirous to court an argu ment upon the facts of the case, and the evidence which he was convicted. In the course of a conversation the chaplain had with I im during the last day or two, Pa'rner referred to the subject of the poison that he was rep 7esei ted to have purchased of the witness Newton on the Monday night, when the unfortunate man Cook had his first attack, and he declared that the statement of Newton as to his having made such a purchase was false. " Well," was the response, "supposing this statement to be false yo i have never attempted to deny that six gra o of strychn ne were.purgbased by you.. at the other chemist's shop on the Tueiffy' morning, and'You h - ave given no explanation of what has become of the poison so purchased." "Oh," replied Palmer, coolly, "I don't deny that I purchased six grains on Tuesday ; but if li j , had wanted to kill Cook with strychnine there was no necessity for purchasing such a quantity as that which would have been suftlo;ent to kill half a dozen men. It is well known that I used the strychnine to poison dogs, and I could have proved it." In answer to this state ment, he was told that evidence to that effect would have been very important if it had been brought forward at the trial, and Palmer then said, " Hew could I prove it l the only witness I could have ea'led for that purpose was my own groom, and he would not have been be• lieved." Palmer has also repeatedly declared in a most solemn manner that whatever other crimes he may have committed he was innocent of that of shedding blood. Although the prisoner has declined to avail himself of the screened seat provided for him in the chapel of the gaol, yet there does not appear to be any justification for the suggestion that he is altogether regardless of his re ligious duties. On the contrary, he pays marked atten tion to the spiritual advice afforded him by the worthy chaplain of the prisons , who, it may be stated, has been unremitting in his attentions to him ever since his con nement. He exhibits an apparent sense of the manner in which he has neglected his duties in a religious point of view, and to that extent appears penitent, but to any suggestion that the greatest proof of his sincerity would be an admission of the justice of his sentence, he turns a deaf ear, and asserts that he is innocent of the crime of murdering John Parsons Cook. The prisoner appears to take advantage of every circumstance likely to operate in his favour, and this was particularly exemplified in his interview with Mr. Wright, the gentleman who for a philanthropic object d evo t es a cons id era bl e por ti on o f his time in visiting the different gaols of the country, and havingintervie ws with prisoners accused of great offences, and who has a special order from the Secretary of State to enable him to do so —to this gentleman, Palmer, while still asserting his innocence, made so great a show of penitence and religious feeling, that he went away deeply impressed in his favour, and with the belief that his con versation had materially softened him. The moment Palmer was alone, however, he resumed his former ap pearance, and it was apparent to those about him that no real effect had been produced on his mind. It appears that the execution will not be performed by Calcraft, the ordinary executioner. This is not on ac count of any opinion of his incompetence in consequence of a recent event, but it seems that for several years the executions that have taken place in this county have been carried out by a man named Smith, who lives at Dudley. He has no regular salary, 14 when there is a necessity for his Lervices his expenses are paid to Staf ford, and after the execution he receives 51. for the duty he has performed. He has already been applied to, and an answer was received in duo form, thanking the au thorities, and expressing his willingness to perform the duty. io numerous have been the applications on behalf of the reporters of the metropolitan and provincial press for orders of admission to be present at the execution, that Major Fulford, the governor of the prison, has felt him self in considerable difficulty how to act. In such a case as this, where the attention of the public bas naturally been so much excited, and where even the interests of justice would appear to require that the incidents connected with the last moments of so extraordinary a male factor should be faithfully recorded, it appears evi dently essential that some authorised representatives of the press should be present, but the regulations of the gaol are imperative, and by one of them the governor is positively interdicted from allowing any strangers to be in the prison on the morning of an execution. Under these circumstances, Major Fulford on Friday addressed a letter to the Secretary of State asking for his directions upon the subject, and suggesting at the same time that he should be permitted to admit a certain number of ac credited reporters to be present at the execution, and there is very little doubt that Sir G. Grey will accede to the request. STATISTICS OF BIRTHS, IfiARRIAGEs, AND DEATIiS. • On Saturday ii'as issued the Seventeenth Annual Re port of the Registrar - General, giving a general abstract of the marriages, births, and deaths registered in Eng land and Wales during the year 1854. The total number of marriages in England in the year 1854, was 159,727 ; of these 1 34,109 were celebrated ac cording to the rites of the Established Church. Of per sons not of full age there were 28,697 women and 9,220 men. , ;14,397 women were widows, and 21,760 men were widowers. Of marriages contracted between bachelors and spinsters there were 131,141 ; between bachelors and widows, 6,286 ; between widowers and spinsters 14,189 ; between widowers and widows, 7,571. With regard to the educational status of the matrimonial couples, it is stated that 47,843 men and 68,175 women signed the marriage register with marks. In the matter of age one boy of 15 is mentioned as having accepted the responsibilities of the marriage state. He was married to a young woman of 19. There were 28 girls who married at the age of 15 and miler. On the other hand, 9 men (widowers) married at the age of 80, and 4 women (widows) at the age of 75. In one instance a woman of 70 married a man of 40. The total births in England, in 1854, were 634,405, being 324,069 males and 310,336 females. Of these births 40,735 were illegitimate. The deaths registered in England in 1854, amount to 37,0,6 3 being g 2 2 14.22 ways mad 21f,49A famalei. QUARANTINE AT MALTA. We regret to see on the part of the Malta Cham ber of Commerce an attempt to revive certain anti quated regulations, very prejudicial to the develop ment of commercial intercourse. The following correspondence has passed between the local Go vernment and the Chamber : " Chamber of Commerce, Valetta, April 5, 1856. "Hon. Sir,—The Chamber of Commerce, in acknow ledging the receipt of your letter, dated the 2d inst., in reply to that of the Chamber addressed to you on the 29th ult., respecting arrivals in this port having oL, board fever sick, deems it its duty to submit that, as the precautionary measures alluded to in your letter have not been publicly made known, the Chamber has reason to fear that the other sanitary boards of the Medittr ranean, doubting such measures to be sufficient to re move the danger of the introduction of the malady into the country, might probably subject to quarantine arri vals from Malta in their ports. "In consequence of this uncertainty, the Chamber takes the liberty to beg of your Excellency that the measures alluded to may be published ; and it embraces this opportunity to submit to your Excellency that great benefit would result to the commerce of this island if the Government would be pleased to make known to the public,the regulations at present adopted by the Health Department at Malta, with regard to cases in which quarantine ought to be imposed. " I have the honour to be, &c., " GIOVANNI SCIORTINO, Assistant Sec. "To the Hon, V. Houlton, Esq., Secretary to Government, &c." "Chamber of Commerce, Valetta, May 2. " Hen. Sir,—The Chamber of Commerce, in its lettei• of the 29th March ult., submitted to his Excellency the Governor the necessity of adopting sanitary measures with reference to arrivals from the ports of the Levant where typhus is prevalent; and in its other letter of the sth April it took the liberty of euggesting that the pre cautionary measures which his Excellency has been p:eased to adopt with regard to the above-mentioned arrivals should be made public, in order that the neigh bouring sanitary boards of the Mediterranean should not find by reason of silence a motive to impose quarantine restrictions upon arrivals from Malta—a suggestion which has not been adopted by the Government, and to which the Chamber has not had the honour of an answer. " 2. The Chamber, in the fulfilment of its duties, finds itself now in the unpleasant position of submitting to his Excellency that what it forebcde has unfortunately taken place. In fact, this island, for the reason above stated, has been put in quarantine with Sicily and with nearly all the Italian continent, as also with the neighbouring coast of Barbary. The Chamber deems it unnecessary to explain how prejudicial are such quarantines to the local commerce. It is, therefore, an incumbent duty upon it to beg again of his Excellency the Governor that adequate measures be adopted by the Health De partment, as much with the view of remedying the injury that commerce is suffering and will suffer in con sequence of the above•mentioned quarantines as to in sure the public health of the place. Meanwhile the Cbamber takes the liberty to inform his Excellency that the evils arising from quarantine do not weigh merely upon commerce, but are felt by the population in gene ral, as one of the immediate consequences of the inter ruption of free communication with Sicily and Barbary is an increase in price of all articles of food of primary necessity. " 3. Besides the injury arising from the fact of pre cautionary measures not being adopted in this island of a nature to inspire confidence in the other santitary boards in the Mediterranean, the Chamber forbodes that much greater evils will be experienced later by this state of things. "4. The Chamber also considers it its duty to submit to the consideration of his Excellency that it is currently reported here that cholera has manifested itself at Mists rata, and small-pox of a very virulent description at Tripoli ; and as these places are in free communication with Malta, the Chamber takes the liberty to beg that his Excellency will be pleased to investigate the fact, i❑ order that, if such be the case, proper measures may be adopted for the protection of the mercantile interests and the health of the population before any serious incon venience may result. " 5. Finally, the Chamber takes the liberty to repeat 1 its request that his Excellency the Governor should canoe to be published the sanitary measures which it hopes his Excellency will adopt, so that the foreign consuls may be able to give an exact report of the precautions taken by the Health Department of Malta, and avoid doubts which can have no other result than that of interrupting the free communication of this island with places with which it has frequent and very important commercial relations. "I have the honour to be, &c., " GIOVANNI SCIORTINO, A ssistant Secretary. "To the Hon. V. Houlton, Chief Secretary to Government, rte." "Chief Secretary's-office, Valetta, May G. "Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your let ter, dated 2,1 instant, on the subject of quarantine. " 2. His Excellency the Governor desires me to in form you that, in consequence of the arrival of cases of typhus fever in transports from the Levant., a grant of money was obtained from the Council of Government for the purpose of es,‘Ablisbing a separate hospital for such cases at the Lazaretto, and which was accordingly formed there. The governor is happy to be able to in form the Chamber that, so far from the fever spreading, there remains this day only one man in that hospital. " 3. Another similar hospital is established at the La zaretto for fever cases brought from the Levant by French ships. The number of fever cases in the French 13 , ,spital this day is nine. "4. Both these hospitals are conducted on the prin ciple of ordinary fever hospitals, a principle answering well without in any degree impeding the passage of troops from the L'a.st, an object which it is essential to guard against. " 5. As respects vessels from Tripoli, I have to in• form you that orders have been given to the superinten dent of the ports to subject to quarantine all vessels coming thence until they shall have been visited by the medical health officer, and that officer's report con sidered. " G. With respect to the last paragraph of your letter, I am further to inform you that the Governor has directed that all sanitary rules or occasional restrictions shall be published.

The following despatch has been laid before the Canadian Parliament : " Downing-street, May 2. "Sir,—You are aware that the Treaty of Peace pro vides for the prompt evacuation by her Majesty's forces of foreign territories at present held by them ; and that, among other arrangements for the distribution of the army on its return from active service, orders have been given that five regiments shall be selected to be stationed in British North America, of which three are allotted to Canada. " Such an amount of force is not of a character to afford much room for misconception as to the purpose of her Majesty's Government, but still I think it better to address to you a few remarks in explanation of that purpose. " Earl Grey's despatch to Lord Elgin, of the 14th of March, 1851, laid down the principles which were then adopted by her Majesty's Government in regard to their colonial policy, considered in a military point of view ; and, in reserving to the mother country the duty of ►main taining garrisons for fortresses of chief importance, such as Quebec, invited the co-operation of the province for the auxiliary measures of defence. The vigour with which at this moment a militia force is being organised justifies our continuing to place, as we do place, the fullest reliance on this policy. "It is not, of course, to be expected that the force of the gar/lions alluded to should be at all times of an unvarying strength. It may vary occasionally from military or political reasons. During the war just ended, when the chief military strength of the empire had to be concentrated for the operations in the East, regiments stationed in Canada were withdrawn ; and as my predecessor, Sir George Grey, explained in a de spatch, dated the 11th of August, 1854, increased re sponsibility was thrown upon the province. That emergency has now happily passed away ; but, although the regular soldiers in Canada may be more or fewer at any particular time, the policy of her Majesty's Govern ment continues the same, and they desire to place their main dependence on the well-proved loyalty and courage of her Majesty's Canadian subjects to repel any hostile aggression, should the occas►on ever unfortunately occur ; although in that event her Majesty's Government would not fail to give to the province the full support of the whole power of the British empire. "You will take care that no misapprehension on this subject shall exist in Canada, which might produce any relaxation of the honourable exertions which the province is now making to establish a suitable military organisa tion. I have had the greatest satisfaction in submitting to her Majesty the accounts which you have transmitted to me of the spirit and energy with which all classes of her Canadian subjects have come forward to carry into effect the provisions of the new Militia Act, and 1 trust that the result wiil be that this local force will speedily be placed on a footing ofpermanent efficiency.—l have, &c., "H.

THE NEW PUBLIC MARITIME LAw.-A letter from the Hague, of the 3d, says :—" The representatives of France, England, Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Tur key, have each delivered to Baron Van Hall a note, ac companied by a declaration containing fresh maritime principles for neutrals in time of war. It is expressly stated in the note that none of the powers who have ac ceded to these principles shall conclude any treaty except o n similar bases. It is expected that Holland will accede I to this.soggestion.':l-4filimnid IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENEIG. THE TIPPERARY BANK SWINDLERS. Thanks to the Master of the Rolls, the Irish Go vernment has condescended to lend an ear to the narratives of fraud and swindling which have been almost daily related in the courts of justice here, perpetrated by the Sadleir gang. As we have be fore remarked, the surviving criminals are at large, while their victims are sinking into destitution and misery before them.' The Right Hon. T. B. Smith is not now, as he was in 1845, the chief public pro secutor ; but he is likely to do good service by his admonitions to the gentleman who holds the situa tion. The following article from the Freeman's Journal is pregnant with importance : " We understand the Master of the Rolls received yesterday a telegraphic despatch from the Attorney-Ge neral, wishing to know when ilia honour would deliver judgment in the case of the English shareholders of the Tipperary Bank. The Attorney-General stated his desire to be present on that occasion, for the purpose of ascertaining whether a prosecution for conspiracy can be maintained against Mr. James Sadleir and other par ties. The Master having expressed a very decided opinion on the subject, as well as on the imperative duty of the Government to insure a prosecution, the latter, moved by the attention drawn to the matter by the Mas ter of the Rolls, and the conviction of that able lawyer, who himself concluded one of the most memorable pro secutions on record, that ample materials exist to bring the offending parties to justice has directed the Attor .nerGeneral to take. the -initiattver and for that purpose the first law officer will be present when the Master delivers his judgment." There are few persons better qualified to testify to the capacity of the Master of the Rolls than the proprietor of the Freeman, who was one of the de fendants in the "memorable prosecutions" alluded to in the foregoing article. The Southern Reporter, speaking of the law as laid down by the Master of the Rolls in the case of the English shareholders in the Tipperary bank, says " There cannot be the slightest doubt that the con duct for which that high and able functionary considers James Sadleir should have been criminally proceeded against, before now, is quite common amongst the di rectors of railway and other public companies, and that the system of paying dividends out of capital and not profits !s, up to a certain period of a company's existence at least, rather the rule than the exception. Everybody, indeed, has been amazed at the impunity which James Sadleir seemed to enjoy ; but the astonishment did not result from the idea that so ordinary a deception as that of being a party to paying fictitious dividends was attri buted to him. The surprise of the public had quite a different cause, and arose from the universal impression that his involvement in his brother's frauds was much deeper and more criminal than this would appear to be. They perceived that an enormous amount of property, of which he had the guardianship, had been all handed over, without security, to John Sadleir, converted by him to his own purposes, and lost to the owners, and while they could not distinctly discover in what way James Sadleir was legally guilty, they yet could not imagine the possibility of a man directly instrumental in such a wholesale plunder having done no act that the law could punish. They certainly did not imagine that, if he were punishable, it was because of the conduct for which the Master of the Rolls so emphatically rebukes the executive for not proceeding against him. " We sincerely trust that the law is as the Master of the Rolls declares it to be, and we are squally desirous that, being so, an example shall be made in the ease of James Sadleir, which will have the salutary effect of warning directors of public companies, in future, to shun deceptive representations of their condition." THE AMERICAN RUPTURE. The Weekly Telegraph, a paper of great circula tion, has an eloquent appeal to-day to the Catho lics of America on the subject of the rupture of friendly relations between the Washington Govern ment and our own. They are advised to withold all support from the Yankees in the event of war. They are told, and truly, that they are treated as aliens and their religion with contempt by the fill busteros in the senate, as well as those who style themselves "Know-nothings" and their sympathi sers. In fact, the Catholics are informed publicly —what those in America have found out to their cost—that they have nothing like the liberty in the States they could enjoy in Ireland, or any other portion of her Majesty's dominions. It is pleasant to hear these truths told by the Weekly Telegraph, a journal devoted to. the Church of Rome-11 cosiaopolite;,who 'barb fol. - no' land, no home—whose whole object and aim is the service of the Church. THE IRISH CONSOL MINING COMPANY. At a meeting to wind up this concern, held before the Illaster yesterday, it was intimated, on the part of the official manager, that he expected to strike a dividend of 43. in the pound this day, and a similar amount in a short time. COURT OF ERROR -YESTERDAY. Midland Great Western Railway Company v. Lord Panmure. This was an appeal from the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in favour of the defendant, the represen tative of the Ordnance Department. The Court had granted a mandamus to oblige the plaintiffs in error, the Railway Company, to complete a road leading from the barracks to the railway. To this writ the plaintiffs made a return, which the court of Queen's Bench con sidered unsatisfactory, and gave judgment for the do• fendant in error. The Lnrd Chief Justice delivered the judgment of the Court, which affirmed the decision of the Court below. The railway company had accepted the act of Parlia ment on the terms of constructing the road ; and it wfts clear that the meaning of the act was that the road should be constructed contemporaneously with the building of the barracks, and not until the barracks had been built, as was contended on the part of the company.

The following is a translation of the text of the judi cial sentence pronounced on Joseph Jacquet by the Court of Appeal of Savoy, on the 17th ultimo, after an hour's deliberation with closed doors : "Joseph Jacquet, aged forty-nine, formerly a school master, born at Bonneville, living at Chevrier, impri soned since the sth of May last, accused — "0X having, in the course of last summer, on the pub lic highway, and opposite to the schoolhouse of the commune of Chevrier, uttered blasphemy against the Holy Virgin, by saying she was like other women (qu'elle ctait 11,72 C femme commie une autre), and that she had had several children.

Commercial matters presented a.. healthy P Si e m n l in a, su s l t a e r er m in a g as,. tone, and in consequence of the moderate importa tions which had taken place the marketabad im proved. The demand in manufactured goods for the confederate provinces was steady.• In articles of daily consumption, common Spanish wines, salt, and American lumber were the arrivals most abundant, and sugar, on the contrary, showed an upward tendency, while tea, coffee, tobacco, &c., were quiet and firm. Export produce accumulated slowly, and, with the exception of tallow, grease, and horse-hides, the short supply had the effect of maintaining firm prices. In hides and wool prices had advanced from 10 to 12 percent. Exchange was quoted for bills on England, at 65 and 66 ; France, per doubloon, 821 f. - At Monte Video political appearances weregloomy; commercial affairs were more active and satisfac tory. Flores and Oribe were in the ascendant. From Rio our dates are to the 15th ult. Yellow fever prevailed. • The Parliament was opened on the 3d ult. The Emperor's speech thus alludes to the slave trade : " Notwithstanding all measures taken for the repression of the abominable trade in slaves, some adventurers have dared to try new speculations, but the vigilance of my Government, supported by public opinion, have frustrated them, as I hope it will always happen. The trade in slaves is com pletely done away throughout the whole empire." The budget for the years 1857 and 1858 had just been published. According to that document the debit and•credit of the empire for that year are calculated at 4,061,9991. 3s. 4d. The home debt is computed to the 31st of December last at 8,815,9501., and the foreign one at 5,839,9001. Th e imports and exports in the empire in the years 1854 and 1855 are valued at 20,092,2871. 10s. 7d. Of this sum 5,207,9081. belonged to Great Britain, 11,433,0431. 17s. 10d. to France, 81,1361. 10s. '7d: to the United States, and 741,2151. 15s. to Portu gal and possessions. These results show, when compared with those of former years, a consider able increase in the export. The new, Customs' tariff was about to be published. The Minister, fearing that there would be a decrease in the re ceipts in consequence of a decrease in the duties in the import intended re-establishing the duty of 2 per cent. on the export from the empire.

In coffee the transactions on account of news from Europe being unsatisfactory, 48,000 bags sold at a decline of about 200 reis, but the coffee dealers were firm, and maintained the prices they asked. Very little coffee was arriving from this country The roads were still very bad, and there were no people to work in the plantations. The want of slaves was beginning to he felt, and coffeA would, it was expected, attain a very high rate. Tile stock ruled from 80,000 to 100,000 bags a-month since February. Some of the dealers not wishing to yield to the offers of the exporters continued to ship on their own account. The stock of coffee was about 120,000 bags to-day. The quotations are— washed, 5,800 to 6,400 ; superior, 5,200 to 5,300 ; first good, 4,800 to 4,900 ; first ord., 4,500 to 4,700 ; second good, 4,300 to 4,400 ; second ord., 3,700 to 4,000 ; sugar samples white, 3,900 to 4,000 ; second, 3,500 to 3,800 ' • brown, 2,900 to 3,300; horns (ox), 16,000 to 18,600; cow do., 4,000 to 5,000 ; hides, heavy 340 to 350 ; light, do., 350. Two new banking companies had been proposed and the shares all subscribed. At Bahia yellow fever had but slightly decreased among the shipping. About five deaths occurred daily in the city from cholera. The Patent Ship Company was progressing favourably. The Bahia was to be commenced shortly. At the opening of the Provincial Assembly the President urged the necessity of combination for the purpose - of carry ing out many improvements necessary for the wel fare of the province. The importation of free labour was considered the most essential. Our commercial letter says,' considering the drawback of three weeks' rain we have had a good month's trade ; the demand for dry goods has been better than for some time past. Sugars have not come forward freely on account of rains, but the demand has been good, principally for Sweden, France, and the United States ; good white Co lingbas until yesterday fetched 31, since then 2,900 has been accepted on large list.

By the Royal mail steamer Tamar we have re ceived the following intelligence from Lisbon to the sth inst. : The Saldanha Magalhaens Cabinet had resigned in consequence of the King's refusing the creation of new Peers to pass the bills which had been ap proved by large majorities in the Chamber of Depu ties, for the quotation of Portuguese Bonds upon the Stock-Exchange, and for a new loan for the construction of railways ; and the King had sent a telegraphic despatch to Count Lovradio, Portuguese Ambassador in London, to form a new Cabinet; but, it being found imposible to wait his arrival, Giulio Gomes da Silva Sanches, President of the Chamber of Deputies, was offered the post of Pre mier and the portfolio of the Interior with the Mar quis of Louie, Viscount Sa Bandeira, and M. Joze Jorge Loureiro for colleagues, and there appeared little doubt they would take charge of the princi pal departments. Marquis Felippe de Souza was also spoken of as Minister of Justice. Our Lisbon correspondent states that it was thought probable that M. Giulio Gomes would abide by the arrangements of the Portuguese Bond question, or substitute some equally satisfactory for the quotation upon the Stock Exchange. The Duke of Saldanba has assisted the King in the for• mation of a new Cabinet. The Douro steamer left Lisbon for Liverpool on the 4th, and the French steamer Perdrix was th e only foreign vessel of war i n port when the Tamar left the Tagus. REGENTS PARK. -- The "people's subscription band" again played in thin park yesterday afternoon ; and if large attendances of bighy-respectable persons, mixed with a goodly show of the working-classes, who appeared determined to enjoy themselves without interfering with the recreation of others be a test of success, then most assuredly that suc. cess has been attained, for no promenade concert, even if conducted by Jullien, and charged for at the most in; ordinate of rates, could be more orderly, or the music better attended to. It might be as well, perhaps, if, con. sidering the day, all attempts at applause were aban doned, but still we are bound to admit that the plaudits never exceeded the limits of decorum ; and, whilst re cognising the undoubted talents of the artists engaged, the people generally showed anything but a desire to express their feelings in other than the most becoming manner. The band, which was led by Mr. Weaver, Es name hitherto unknown to us, was certainly of a very superior order ; and the pieces performed showed that its members were well acquainted with classical music, though we think that the following programme would bear us out in the observation that rather too much of the music was selected from one composer : Grand March Euhner. Gal o p , Crown l 3 Amber. Prayer, ach ia t m la o g n e d r s in Grenada,", Breutzer. Philomelen Valse •.. Strauss. Fantasia on Scotch Airs Childe. Quick Step... Kuhner.
