TUE RETURN OF HER MAJESTY. EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Queen left Balmoral this morningat 8 o'clock for Edinburgh, posting by Ballater and Aboyne to Banchory. Her Majesty was received here by Mr. Patrick D tvidson, vice-chairman of the Deeside Railway, Mr. White, and Mr. Ferguson, at 12.10. The train reached Ferry-hill, Aberdeen, at 12.35, where her Majesty was received by Sir Thomas Blakey, Provost of Aberdeen, and Mr. Thompson, Major Cristie, Mr. Biruie, and Mr. Reith, of the Scottish North-Eastern Railway direction. The train arrived at Stonehaven at 1.10, where her Majesty had luncheon, and left at 1.30. The station was elegantly decorated. The train arrived at Forfar at 2.53, where Lord Panmure took leave of her Majesty. Perth was reached at 3.30, where the Earl of Mansfield and Lord Strathallan, with the Provost and macistrates and a large company, were present. Col. Johnstone, Mr. Bruce, of Kennett, and Pro vost Sawyers, of the Scottish Central Direction, and Mr. Peter Blackburn, M.P., and Mr. Jamiesnu, of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central Railways, accompanied the train to Edinburgh, arriving at Stirling at 5.2 under a Royal salute from the Castle guns. Here, as at all the other stations, there were military guards of honour. The Royal train arrived in Edinburgh at 0.15, having kept time to a minute, under the able management of Mr. Seymour Clarke. The weather was stormy in the morning, but got fair towards afternoon ; the distance posted was 38 miles, and by rail 1881 At St. Margaret's station her Majesty was re ceived by Viscount Melville and officer's staff, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, and several directors of the North British Railway. The Royal party drove in car riages through the park to Holyrood, where the Lord Provost a a nd other gentlemen were in waiting. The carriages were closed, but, notwithstanding the darkness, there was a considerable assemblage in the park. The way was lined by the sth Dra goon Guards, the 34th Regiment, and two compa nies of Royal Artillery. The Marquis of Dalhousie, by speeial invitation, waited on her Majesty in Holyrood', and had half-an-hour's audience. The dinner party was limited to the Royal suite. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) THURSDAY MORNING. The Queen left Edinburgh this morning at a quarter to 8 o'clock, arriving at Dunbar at 8.25, and Berwick 9.15. The Royal party crossed the Tweed in the enjoyment of fair weather. All well. NATIONAL NOTES v. BANK NOTES. TO THE EDITOR OE THE SUN. Sis,—As you continue to point out the right way of curing our monetary crises, and of preventing their recurrence by substituting Government or National Notes for Bank of England Notes, I take the liberty to trouble you once more with a few lines. Government having to issue all the coins, copper, silver, and gold, ought certainly likewise to issue the paper money required by the nation, and this, the most profitable one, should not be left to a company which, however judiciously managed, must be constantly watched and restricted by laws, which, in case of an emergency, prove useless after all. To have a constant sufficiency of circulating medium it ought to be issued principally by Government, and the following plan can meet with no objections. By advancing the national notes, which are, of course, a legal tender, at the rate of 50 or 66 per cent, upon Consols, and charging an in terest of 2 to 3 per cent, on such advances, Government would, without the least risk, at once create a sufficiency of circulating medium, make the money market easy, reduce the discount to the vicinity of their charge, and avoid the recurrence of this unfortunate scarcity for future times. They could in this way never issue in excess, for as discount would by an overabundance be forced below the interest charged, Consols would then be fetched back, and the amount of notes afloat re duced. A safe basis is of the utmost necessity, how ever. As the case stands now the Bank of England, beholden to give gold for every note, May in case of very great pressure be obliged again to break its charter, as in '47, or in case of a run even be forced to stop cash payments. On the other band, let anybody pretend to say that for the said national notes the basis be not sufficient, when resting on a debt that is identified with the nation, and when the wealth of the nation forms its guarantee. When adopted, the price of Consols must rise, and the large interest gained will enable Ministers considerably to reduce the taxes, besides the prosperity sure t ) follow. Objections fall all to the ground. If gold and silver leave the country as they often do, it will, under such circumstances, no longer be an evil. Better to trade and to buy food with the metals than have them locked up in the Bank vaults, &c. They will be sure to come back to pay for manufactures, iron, coal, &c. Britain does, by their exportation, not lose her capital. Other objections are still weaker, if that the of 33”g1,...1 wrynalrl hw rlpprivA i of its monopoly. She might continue to issue notes, and would not be so much a loser, as, perhaps, expected, for Government notes must then be considered a substitute for her pre sent reserve of bullion, permitting her to increase her active circulation. Some bank-stock holders might not fancy the idea, but do they wish to enjoy a monopoly, to the detriment of the whole community ? . There no country that could take up such a plan with equal advantage as England, for no other has al ways shown equal good faith to its creditors, and at the same time possesses so much power. The latter would thereby be increased, and the country earn the reward for its honesty. French national rote., however mighty that empire, would hardly meet with equal favour, nor Spanish, nor American. Russia was enabled to wage the last expensive war by her Governme:,t notes, and is a poor country compared with England. Shall Eng lishmen be outdone by Russians? Rattler appeal to the patriotism of your capitalists and hlercators, who so clearly see where their interests are lying, and they will then develope a plan, now crudely sketched by, Sir, your humble servant, ADOLPHUS NOBILING. THE ROYAL BRITISH- BANK-ALLEGED FRAUDS OF ME LATE MANAGER. It is reported as extremely probable that the official manager under the Winding•up Acts will require the early attendance of Mr. Cameron, the la te manager of the British Bank, in order to explain some mysterious_ ; the in the books, which have been disc ) v ered in the course of the investigations. In one instance a person appears as a debtor to the bank, to the extent of 7001. — advances under a cash credit account. On being called upon by the official manager for paymert of the debt, this person im me di a t e ly denied that he had ever drawn a farthing of the above Rum, and produced evidence to show that the cash credit hat been obtained by Mr. Cameron, in his name, for his (Mr. Cameron's) own pur poses, but with his—the alleged debtor's—consent. It appears that while Mr. Cameron, from time to time, drew the various sums amountMg to 7001., he, instead of placing them to the credit of the dummy customer, placed then to his dedit—!pus mal:ing the latt,r appear as a debtor for the antiunt, ant suppressing all evidence of his own o;erati.ms on the account. It is thought that the two parsons who became sccurit,, for Mr. Cameron's dupe in this cae, may be able to pay up a considerable amount, if not the whole of the debtor balance. As it is feared that other accounts may be in the same position, a most searching investigation of the books is being made. . _ Mr. Cameron is at present understood to be soj mrn ing for the benefit of his health at a fashionable watering place in Germany. We have not heard by what pro• cess it is proposed to procure his attendance in London, bv.t it is alleged that under the arrangements made he may be forthcoming without much delay.—Moiming A clrertis er. COAL MINE ACCIDENTS. A blue-book published on Saturday last contains the r eports of the Inspectors of Coal-mines t) December, 1855, presented to Parliament previous to the tion in July, and then ordered to be printed for Pr t n h r e °g in s. formation of the p ublic. In the three counties of Du r. ham, Nort humberland, and Cumberland, during the h a lf-year ended Dec. 31, 1855, 79 accidents are reported, of which 13 were in shafte, 11 from explosions, 27 from falls of stone and coal, and 23 from sundry causes. In South Durham, between Dec. 31, 1855, and Match 1, 1856, there were eight feral accident. in collieries. In the Lancashire, Cheshirq, and North Wales district 165 ac cidents occurred in 1855, azainst 17S in 1354, and the number of lives lost in 1855 was 199, g ro i ns firel nst 29ain in 1854. 29 o f the acciden ts last y ea r arose frop explosions. In the counties of York, Derby, N,,tt-, Leicester, and Warwick, during the year ended the 30th of June, 1855, the number of accidents wal 103, against 113 in 1853-54, 119 in 1352-53, and 140 in the year 1351-52. In the half-year ended 3 1 st o f December last the number o f d ea th s was 62, of which 10 were caused by firedamp and suffocation. The report of Mr. T. Wynne, , the Inspector of Coal - min es for the Stafford. shire, Worcestershire, and Salop dis tricts, for 1855, exhibits a lament a bl y heavy list of casual ties, p roducing violent deaths, confirming expressed, that " nothi - the opinion by him formerly ng but stringent legislation can stop the current of caret loss of life that leads to snosBne's and indifference to the were several explosions ' many fatal accidents-" There The gross total numbernsln the year, causing 33 deaths. accidents in the South- Western district during the year 1855 amounted to 131, catning 200 d"4:1".

The Electric Telegraph already threads with ifs magical wires almost all the principal quarters of the European and North American Continents. It flashes night and day under the waters of the English Channel ; it is actually in course of being carried under the billows of the Mediterranean. It is on the eve of having An enormous coil of wire " payed out" between Ireland and Canada, submerged under the depths of the Atlantic, to thrill like an exquisite nerve of sympathy between the eastern and the western hemispheres. A little while longer, and the sys tem of electric communication between all parts of the habitable globe can hardly fail, in GOD'S good time, to be completed. A succession of wires being linked together from London, through most of the European capitals, across the Channel, across the Mediterranean, along the northern coast of Africa, through Egypt, onwards to Hin dostan, beneath the Chinese waters, and so for ward by the Japanese archipelago, till, having traversed the northern bed of the Pacific, the electric current may pass onwards, still with the momentary fleetness of lightning, through the California line, spanning, as is proposed, the ample breadth of the Atlantic), and thus completing the circuit to London by way of San Francisco. A single instantaneous quiver of the needle at Cornhill marking the flash of the electric spark at one scintillation around the broad circumference of the World. The necessary preliminaries towards season of severe suffering the bullion might return to our shores. But it is no tso ! Russia and Austria provide for the expenditure in paper money, while the specie " w ill be locked up in the vaults of the State banks " until they may be en- gaged in new wars, and find , the means of fighting England with the money which she is scattering abroad with lavish hand. Already we have witness ed •the depreciation o every public and private sect - Er-14,y, and the enormous increase in the minimum, rat ( ) of discount at the quasi National Bank, whic - f L of course rules far lower than at any private, establishment. It is now no less than seven per r cent. for bills having more than 60 days to run- —a rate never exceeded since the establishment of the Corporation, save at the time of the virtual suspension of its Char ter by the issue of the Goy ernment Letter of the 25th of October, 1847. How can the industrial community—the com mercial and manufacturi i lg interests—bear this extraordinary charge, wh.sich must transfer their entire profits into the ha x ids of the moneyocracy, arrest production, and leave the labouring popu lation starving in the - t aidst of plenty ? Where will then be the receipts on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer so foul ily calculates ? And how will he provide for tht ) deficiency that must in evitably arise As the Times justly remarked last week, "if the Bank of France are determined to buy gold at any sacrifice, no addition of one or two per cent. per annum on the xi tte of bills of exchange will be regarded. The only limit to such an operation must be found it the exhaustion of their power to buy up bills on tb .is country, or to obtain credits here." This, ho , at ever, is a very remote anticipation—one that :may not occur until the actual accomplishment of this, have already been commenced—many of them having been long since substantially completed. The realisa the Bank coffers arei thoroughly drained, and the circulating nae dium in the hands of the public reduced to a moiety of its present amount. Then we shall ft] zd stringent measures slopted to prevent the / •eturn of the precious metals ; for them there wi ll be mullet vestigia re trorsum—no possible chr ice of a return of the tide. It is, then, folly of the worst description to defer remedial measures uu itil the evil has been consummated. We must. "shut the-stable-door" before the steed has been married off. There is but one &met • for the country, and that is the establishment of a really National Bank, authorised to issue 3iotes of small denomi nations, for 11., 21., and 3'. each, and probably for intermediate fractional sums, as for 11. 55., 11. 108., and 1/. 155., which Irish experience shows to have greatl3r economised the use of silver, and thus proved very beneficial to the country. These being receivable in the payment of taxes, and indeed of every public and private demand, would maintain their value under all circumstances ; while the precious metals would sell for what they - a Were fairly worth—the amount of the demand being represented by their appreciation, instead of - the depreciation, in the quotations of all other commodities. We cannot conclude wi t hout directing attention to the communication of a respected correspon dent, which will be foun cl in another part of this day's impression. Mr. IV,osiLING has discovered the true remedy, and if this advice were followed, with some trivial moditioations, the formidable danger now impending over the nation would be averted, and we should be spared the painful dis covery, that the folly of our rulers in time of peace may be far more r.rejudicial to the best interests of the country tha n the most strenuous efforts of our most powet,ful opponents in the time of war. tion of the entire scheme being literally now merely a question of time. Yet all this while the Darien Ship-Canal, proposed between one and two hun dred years ago by WILLIAM PATTERSON, though still admitted on all hands to be in every way most feasible—the Darien Ship-Canal of PATTER ION's suggestion is to this hour nothing more nor less than a suggestion. As with the Isthmus of Panama—so too has it been, so too is it to this day, with the Isthmus of Suez. Although the latter was proposed at different times to be severed by the engineers of MEHEMET Am, as it had pre viously been intended to be sundered by the great modern CAISA.R—NAPOLEON. In spite of all which auguries of success Suez and Panama still offer a virgin field to engineering enterprise. Can not some wholesome incentive to this enterprise be discovered in the startling, and, in a certain sense, humiliating contrast displayed between the serious project, on the one hand, of the Darien Ship-Canal, and on the other the fanciful day dream, the unconscious prophecy, as it may be called, of what has ripened in our own days into that great world's wonder, the Electric Tele graph. Have we got the right men at the Metropo litan Board, beginning with the Chairman down wards ? With all the disposition we have shown not to press too heavily on the Board, inaugurated as its career was with an influx of claims on its attention of a magnitude never perhaps surpassed in corporate history, we begin to think seriously we have not ! The manner in which business is conducted at the Board Room is described to us as anything but creditable. The Chairman seems to possess but little authority, and the members, who would be fa2etious if they could, relieve by had joiroo displays of L „ 1 :t-- c ,_ nacity, which occur with such frequency that one member may be said to lie in wait for a peck and a crow at another.

Myriads of the population are daily deteriorating in health, and thousands are being cut off in infancy and at the prime of life for want of an efficient system of sewerage. N olens volens a system is to be adopted and carried out under certain provisions of an Act of Parliament. Hitherto the Board have been trying to evade the obligations entailed by those provisions. They want the work done cheaply. Now, no work, especially no work of this description, can be said to bo done cheaply that is not well done, and no scheme that does not give fair promise of acc)m plishing this desideratum will meet with the ap probation of the Board of Works. What scheme will accomplish it ? Any hitherto brought before the Board ? It is admitted that which proposes the disemboguement of the sewerage at Sea Reach will do so—it is more than doubted the Long Reach disemboguement will not. Why should there be any further delay? Is a better scheme than either forthcoming, or likely to be so ? Who will undertake to answer in the affirmative ? Why not decide at once and set to work like men, and not like a parcel of Brobdignagian babies ? The difference of expenditure between the two schemes will only involve an extra halfpenny in the pound —and to the Sea Reach, if public opinion is to be relied on, they will have to go at last. Hesitation and delay are worse than foolish-- they are positively criminal.' Would the Board have it recorded of them that, to avoid a paltry outlay—for, taking into account the vast popu lation and extraordinary wealth of the metropolis, an extra million is a paltry increase of expendi ture—they were content to stultify the principle of self-government, and be accessories to the destruction of thousands of the popuht- Lion ?

OMER PACHA AND THE PRINCESS DADlAN.—Another correspondent of the Times, this morning, states, in contradiction to the assertion of Lieutenant Cadell, that 1001. would cover the damage sustained by the Princess; that he saw a large quantity of the property of the lady shipped on board a Turkish steamer and sent to Omer's residence at the Bosphorus. THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE BANS OP AIISTRA LASIA.—Yesterday, John Andrews, a horse-dealer, re siding in the Hackney-road, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having changed a twenty pound note, which formed a portion of the property stolen from this bank. The man said it was part of a sum of 751. he had borrowed from a friend, named Mon teau. This assertion was denied. He was remanded pays : for a week. At the half-yearly meeting of the Agra and United Service Bank, hold at Calcutta on the 15th of August, the profits for the six months wore stated at 62,372/ , which, after payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum and the appropriation of 11,0001. for the purchase and building of premises for the branch&s at Bombay and Canton, leaves 13,8721. to be carried to the reserve fund, making the total amount of that fund 137,3901. RUMOURS OF A STRIKE IN PARlS.—Rumours of a strike among some classes of the Parisian workmen were rife yesterday. It has not, however, taken place, but it is feared it may do so in several trades,— among o thers, the plasterers, and the workmen of the qucys, and even a portion of the hackney-coach drivers are epoken of as likely to follow the example. Should it of a menacing ; o ccur, it has to f f nog these symptoms scontent, and perhaps of character distres but s, may be followed by o thers, and we do not now learn for the first time that political agitators are ever on the watch to take advantage of any eiroumstance in their favour. —Times (second edition). FREAKS OF THE OFFICERS UNDER ARREST AT BEIGE TON.--03 Monday morning, at half-past three o'clock (as we are informed by a respectable inhabitant residing at the north part of the town), the inhabitants of the Lewes-road were awoke by a loud noise and shouting. A (petrel, it seems, had taken place between Lord Ernest Vane and Cornet Dirt (supposed to be under arrest), who had just driven up to the stables occupied by his lordship, at the Race Hill Inn. From what our informant could see, his lordship knocked Mr. Dirt nut of the vehicle, using very bad language, and afterwards a general fight took place between all parties, the grooms included. This continued for some time, until the po lice came up and put an end to the affair. His lordship then drove away towards the barracks.—. Brighten Guar dials of yesterday.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.--The arrivals from the mother country during the month of Juno have been much snore numerous than in any previous month this year, but the whole seem to be absorbed immediately on their arrival, and the labour rates show that no diminu tion in wages follows the influx. The official return for the month of June is not yet ready, but that for the month of May has been published, and furnishes the following results :—The comparative arrivals and depar tures from and to Great Britain and foreign ports stand thus:—Arrivals for the roohtb, 477; departures for the mouth, 843 ; showing a balance of 36 ; against the colony. For the neighbourbing colonies the comparison is still in our favour, viz.—Arrivals for the month, 1,877 ; departures for ditto, 1,045 ; balance in favour of the colony, 832. The net balance in our favour is 469 souls for the month. Of the sexes, we notice that the arrival of males of all ages has been 1,660, and of females 697 ; the departures, 1,502 males, and 386 females ; showing a considerable addition per cent. for females remaihiog in the colony. The price of bread (lower than in England) and the abundance of all the necessaries of life here are facts which must have reached the labouring classes in Europe ere this ; and taken in connection with the great and constant increase of rcral occupations, must assure them that it is quite as much their interest as that of the colonists already here to make. Viotoria their home.—Melbourne Herald, July 8. LATEST NEWS. The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter of yesterday, says : "This day, in all probability, the note of the allies will have been communicated by Baron Brenier to the King of Naples. The repeated assurance is given that the note in question is couched in very moderate and conciliatory terms. The effect no one supposes will be what France and England desire namely, com pliance with the earnest admonitions addressed by them to King Ferdinand. The instruc- tious of Baron Brenier are, that if his Majesty persists in refusing, he is to demand his passports, and withdraw with the whole of his Legation. Similar instructions have, no doubt, been sent to the British Minister. With respect to the fleets, it is stated that the French squadron will proceed to Malta to join the British, and that both will await there the result of the last note and the final answer of the King ; and if it prove, as is anti cipated, unfavourable, they are then to proceed towards, but not to, the Italian coast. On this point., however, there exists some difference ; yet it is evident that ships must be at hand to receive such French and British residents as may not con sider it safe to stay after the departure of their respective Legations. It, is, however, believed that the consequences will be pacific —at any rate, that nothing will be done to provoke a revo lution either in Sicily or Naples." The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated Oct. 12, writes as follows : " The Governmental organs of the Austrian press make not the slightest mention either of General von Martini or of his mission, but tke following reliable communication as to the actual state of the Neapolitan question has this morning reached me :--` The King posi tively refuses to pledge himself to make the concessions required, and you may there fore soon expect to hear that the ships of one or both of the Western Powers have appeared in the Bay of Naples.' A north German paper, which is generally well informed on Russian matters, states that there is a very considerable difference in the wording of the special Notes not long since addressed by the St. Petersburg Cabinet to the French and Austrian Governments. The Rus sian Government almost warns' the French Cabinet against sharing in an expedition which it says would be a violation of all international law, but in his note to the Austrian Govern ment, Prince Gortschakoff presupposes that it disapproves of the measures which the Western Powers propose to take against the King of Naples, and accordingly calls on it to oppose them. That this Government obeyed the summons, and strongly urged. the French Cabinet to make a retrograde movement in the Neapolitan affair, is a notorious fact, but it is believed to have met with but partial success. The Emperor Napoleon consented to delay the departure of the expedi tion, but there is no reason to suppose that he promised not to make common cause with Eng land." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition), in his letter dat e d yesterday, " It is announced from Vienna that despatches had reached there from Naples. Of course there are hopes' of a pacific termination of the Nea politan difficulties, and those o hopes' are, as J.- 13—z. Tha onilrior r-ha, T presume, tcok despatches recalling the members of her Majesty's mission ought to reach Naples this evening. If this act, pith a similar proceed ing on the part of France, does not result in ob taining concessions from the King, then I hear the fleets are to leave—that is, as soon as tele graphic intelligence to that effect reaches London and Paris. Meanwhile the French squadron rests at Toulon, and everything is unchanged. " In my letter of yesterday T took occasion to inform you that since the arrival of the Emperor in Paris the questions relating to foreign affairs had assnmed a more decided attitude, and that the action of England and France would be more united and decided. Such is the wish of the Emperor, I am assured ; and if his Majesty's commands are carried out our T I T Russia and the King of Nap les w difficulties with be , brought to a satisfactory conclusion.' A letter from Vienna, in the Tru..tzburg Gazette, says : " The Neapolitan Governmeni - , continues its armaments with the greatest activity. The war reserves have been called out, which will bring up the force of the infantry to near]y 70,000. A special credit has been opened to General Fila n _ gieri, the chief of the artillery, who is occupied in replacing all the old guns on the ba,tterie3 by new ones. The same activity gisoidnigspolialyscodriilipicril: naval department.

The same journal adds that the difficulty is in a fair way of settlement. RUSSIA.

The Madrid journals of the 11th give an account of what took place on the previous day, the anni versary of the Queen's birthday. Her Majesty sonb 25,000 reals to the governor of the province for the poor, and caused numerous alms to be distributed at the palace ; the Minister of War (O'Donnell) passed a review of the troops ; the Queen held a reception, at which more than 1,000 persons were present ; and her Majesty gave a grand ball at the palace in the evening. The .Epoca contains the following passage, which reads strangely when we hear in mind that the unexpected change of ministry took place on the 13th, or very little more than four-and-twenty hours after that journal was published :—" At the reception the Queen gave the President of the Council and the other Ministers unequivocal proofs of the pleasure which she felt at the conciliatory policy of the present Cabinet, which tends to draw together all the important political men in Spain. Our august Sovereign did the same at the ball in the evening. Her Majesty opened the ball with the President of the Council (O'Donnell) as her partner, and Marshal Narvaez had the honour of dancing with her afterwards. Her Majesty also danced with M. Rios Rosas, Minister of the Interior, with Gene ral de la Concha, with General Echague, Civil 'governor of Madrid, and with a member of the corps diplomatique, whose name we could not ascertain. The ball was very brilliant, and it was not until after four o'clock in the morning that the Queen left it. The Leon Espanol and the Espana, organs of Narvaez's party, vehemently deny that there was any truth in the assertion of a Cadiz journal (which has created some sensation) that a sort of conspiracy had been formed in the house of the Duke de Rivas for ousting O'Donnell and his colleagues, and forming a new Ministry of Gen. Narvaez, the Duke do Rivas, M. Moyano, M. Nocedal, and others. The Madrid Gazette pub lishes a decree which re-establishes in the province of Guipuscoa the Central House of the Jesuits, which was founded in 1851 under the Ministry of M. Bravo Murillo, and closed at the revolution of 1854. MONTENEGRO. A letter from Cattaro of the sth, in the Austr:ait , Gazette, says :—" All is quiet in Montenegro, and the taxes, established a few years ago by Prince Danilo, are being collected without difficulty. The prince is employing the workmen who have re turned from Constantinople in the construction of a road from Cettingen to the mountains, and in the completion of the fortifications commenced in 1852 in the defile of Zabljack. The Russian con sul at Ragusa, and the French charge d'affaires at Scutari have frequent interviews with the prince, but are compelled to address themselves generally to the president of the Senate, Ge )rge, on whom the prince has thrown the burden of affairs." EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria, in the Constitutionnel, says :—" The Viceroy previous to his return re mained a few days at Benisoueff, in order to select a dwelling-place for a troop of 1,500 Bedouins, who belonged to the revolted tribes, and have asked pardon. This pardon had been granted by the Viceroy, on condition that they should renounce their wandering existence, and settle on sonic spot whore territory would be assigned them• These conditions were accepted, and the Viceroy has himself selected the territory which is to be given to them for cultivation." PERSIA. Accounts from Teheran state that M. Bouree, French Minister at the Court of Persia, and Baron Lejeune, the bearer of the decorations sent by the Emperor of the French to the Shah, had in July a solemn audience of the latter monarch. The a; r 1.....t1.t., in a carriage drawn by six horses and preceded by outriders in full livery, arrived at the royal camp escorted by numerous troops of cavalry and officers sent by the King. On reaching the palace, they were introduced with the usual Eastern ceremonial. His Majesty, dressed in a brilliant uniform, covered with diamonds and pearls, and with the Persian bead-dress, sur mounted by an aigrette in brilliants, was seated in the grand throne-room, where he received the in signia from the Emperor Napoleon with marks of the highest satisfaction. After a short audience, diplomatistsrde n w c i e tild with ew' the same tcar riedlte F b r a e c n k c h t o their were cere monial that had been arranged for their coming. says :—" Th e E ng li sh comm i s ' n A letter from Galatz of the Bth, in th e P russ ian regularisation of the D anu bi an fron tiers arrived here from C onstantinople by the last i r t o te , steamer.

" s inner fo r A letter from Hanover of the 10th says " The Royal family returned yesterday from their excursion to the Hartz mountains. The Prince de Solms•Braunfels, who represented the King at the coronation of the Emperor Alexander, has ar rived here from Moscow." TEITI FINAA (TS OF FRANCE. It is firml y b e li eved in Vienna that the finance s of France aro in much the same state as those of Austria were after the Italian and Hungarian wars, and that she will eventually be obliged to have recourse to the same extreme measures. One of those measures was, that the lieges w ere obliged to take the notes of the State and Bank at a "forced course," and the result of it was that the prices of all the necessaries of life immediately rose in proportion to the dif ference. which there was in the market between real and nominal money. As the highest prerniuni on silver was some 28 or 30 per cent., the trades people made that difference in their prices, and those prices aro almoet unchanged, although the premium on silver has long been but trifling. There is a vast difference htween the character of the French and Austrans, and the Emperor Na poleon will, perhaps, do well to recollect that a measure which could be taken with impunity in this country maybe attended with very disastrous con sequences in Fiance. A strong impression prevails here that the star of Napoleon is on the decline, and therefore French and English diplomatists will do well to keep both eyes and ears open. Austria has always been obliged to have some great continental Power to lean on, and the probability is that she would immediately endeavour to renew the alliance with Russia if any untoward event should occur in France. The fact that the Austrian Court woull attach no importance to the alliance of England without that of France ought never to be lost sight of by the British statesmen and diplomatists. —Times Second Edition. mliticoT NE WS.—( This Day.)
