We are j ustified iu using the expression, for time is certainly a far snore 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 commercial interests, to which they ore such extensive cus tomer?, to secure speed and certainty for our postal communications. " The Royal Charter" is the vessel that has aceomplished the shortest passage on record, having arrived in Hobson's Bey within 59 days after her departure from Plymouth. The great fact has been achieved entirely by individual eater 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 nulia vestigia reirorsuot—We may, Eand 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 powere, 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 ou ; and even if the fuel totally failed, she would be able to com plete her voyage without danger to crew, passon gers, or cargo. But the Australian colonies are entitled to far =ore at the hands 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, d a ys—indeed in one instance the parties lave undertaken to pay 501. penalty for the first day's delay, increasing 501 . for ever y subse quent day. This proposal has been very properly ac- cepted by the Government, and the contract core. vleted. It is vies Suez, but it will only be a monthly journey, and it is obvious that the loss of a few days may delay the communication a full calendar moat, Now, WO A4le s why should there not be a second despatch, and by a different route, so as, by sending duplicate advices, to prevent the possibility of serious damage from any local disturbances or possible accident. As we have stated, the Australian colonies deserve this at tention at our hands. But they have "set their own shoulders to the wheel," and have already appropriated to the purpose 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 are 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 furni3ll anothar illustration of the fatal consequences of " a penny-wise and pouni foolish policy." 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 hereof 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 our 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 advantage the golden opportunity that was afforded. Considering the p3riod at which this admirable article was published, and the scanty infor►nation that was then available to our Ans i 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 carried 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 concluiion of this powerful article. We have repeatedly enun ziated similar opinions while the subject was yet under discussion, and when it was brought to such an inauspicious termination, 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 satisfie 1 with such an impotent , conclu 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 hie neighbour's .vaaliness. Tue came of Poland is shelved. We shall hear little more of Italy. If Hungary move, it will henceforth be by the assistance of the CZAR. And 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.? Thera 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." Some six months since, and before the accop, ante by Russia of the peace propositions put for• ward by Austria with the concurrence of the Western Powers, a decided and general improv' ment was perceptible in the Money Market. All 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 leg mate results. The Bears, on the other hand, seemed completely chop-fallen. Previously they had it all their own way, and. had succeeded in working clown the 3 par Cent. Consols to 851, but a rapid rise to 87; 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 independence and integrity guaranteed by the Western Powers, they could xot 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 cf 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 ! The 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 credited, that Government contemplated, on 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 received. in payment of all duties and taxes into the national Exchequer. The suggestion was received with enthusiasm, and it received that starling and unquestionable proof of public approbation, a rise of 2 per cent. in the quotations. If the mere hint produced so great an effect, what would the reality have Lee.omplished ? It is not too much to say that the improvement in prices would. have been more than quadrupled, and that °Tory description of investment would' THE SU N; LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 186 f have been enhanced in value at least 8 or 10 per cent., and that 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 certainty 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 really been earned were starving in the midst of abundance. 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 an 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 ever 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 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 ►,hose 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 bread 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 Molloy Market, and the withdrawal of pecuniary accommodation, which the manufacturers of bread require as largely as the manufacturers of textile Linics, or the merchants or traders who deal ,herein. 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 plates 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. Let there be a real National Bank, placed under the control and direction of a de partment of the Government responsible to Parlia ment, and let there be an adequate supply of if., 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, and the great object will speedily be accomplished. ------- " There's many a slip between the cup and the lip " says the old adage ; and, applying it to Hampstead Heatb, 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 satisfiel. 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 a BoardofHealth, 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 subscription, 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 s 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 stantial 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 ing 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 au airince 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 you 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 sion, thew are young folio pow a 4 there were theu3 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 uo 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. Only 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 ? T wo-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 I 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 the Heath is lost ! GALLERY, THE BUFFO, (SECOND NOTICE.) As the collection now on view upon the walls of this popular Gallery, the collection constituting the thirty-third annual exhibition of pictures by the " Society of British Artists," is announced to close almost immediately—we hasten to supplement by a few remarks the opinions expressed by us 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 displayed upon the walls of the five 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-30 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 the rocky eminence to the left, "shouldering," as it does, into the heavens, far above the green tree-tops ; the jumble of the huge boulders in the fore ground where the angler is flinging 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 ; Lbrust 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 takein 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 back , rouud. 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, self-satisfied 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 t•-:. 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 prE sent year's exhibition of the Society of British Artists in 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. CC XL Decidedly the irost 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 bulk 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 digost 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 Tomes, 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 one brief but appreciative article upon himself and his writings, meet, at the hands of the reviewer, with a succinct but adequate ccle , bration. Absolute scorn is expressed, and, we conceive, not undeservedly by the writer 4 for the catchpenny volume recently published. 1 by Mr. Moxon, under the title of the "Table Talk" t of the Poet of Memory. Several excellent and characteristic anecdotes of Mr. Rogers are introduced in the course of the paper under n otice, becoming more plentiful towaTds 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 sketch 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 he 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 erly 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 Majuity's vessels of war will arrive in Queenstown in a short time, in order to be permanently stationed here. Letters, we understand, are now lying in 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 gun-boat squadron intended to form the training school for the new Coast-guard service or naval reserve I will also be stationed in our port." THE AIIITINY 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 Bth July, 1856, fired by one of a party of regular troops, from t he effects f which he lingered, and died on the 14 th of July, 1856." The arms of the North Tipperary Militia were con. veyed hence to Limerick on Monday lmt, escorted by a party Qf the 17th Lancers. THE BRITISR NAVY. [FROM A CORRESP ONDENT.] The slumbering gloat 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 seek as we had at the commencement of Ihe 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 the bill to which we have alluded, 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 efficiency 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 he 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- 4 lorious 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 us 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 offide box will close at 8 a.m., with late fee at 8.30 a.m., and on the landing stage at 0 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 CO3IIIANDER-IN•CHIUF'S OFFICE, July 17.--Hi' Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief wil hold a levee at tho Horse Guards, on Menday next, al one o'clock. The officers of the let Life Guards will give a grand pie-nic pas ty at Virginia Water this afternoon.

The three steamers constituting the Brazil line of the South American and General Steam Navigation Com pany of Liverpool have been re-charterd by the Govern ment to carry troops to the Cape. 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." AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—Of the 670,000/. 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 MILITIA 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 Ist of October next year. Proceedings may be had dur• ing 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 OP DEAN RAILWAY. —The prospectus has been issued of the Forest of Dean Railway, with a capi tal of 65,0001., in 10/. shares. The line will be about 71 miles in length, and is to pass t hrou g h the im p ortant coalfield 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. DEEIMAA COINAGE.—At a meeting of the oity bankers yesterday, the question was discussed as to the expedi ency of introducing a decimal coinage, their opinion having 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, FOLIKE BTONE.—Anguste Hastier, who stands charged with stealing a sum of money, the property of a Frenchmar, named Delafosse, was again brought before the mayor and other magistrates at Folkestone on Thursday.

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY 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 Courrier de '.lidarteille) is likely to be again retarded. From inforMation which we have every - reason to believe exact, 'we are enabled to announce that the Conimander-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 an end ought to be put to the occupation of the Piraeus by the French troops, or whether the forces belong ing to Fra.nce 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 be dis tributed among the departments which have suf fored most from the inundations."

By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain Valler, with the West Indian and Pacific mails, we have dates from Carthagena, June 25 ; Hon duras June 17 ; Jamaica, June 26 ; Greyt owu ; June 'l9 ; Chagres, Juno 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, 1,015,687 dols. in specie, and a moderate cargo. Our last advices from Jamaica extend to the 27th ult. Much regret - . .vas 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 Judicial 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 . Heury Dowling, 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-60 days, 11- per cent. premium. At Trinidad the weather had been exceedingly wet. In the market the flour was $lO 50c. Tho 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, the 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 was d ull, and reights scarce. Intelligence from Barbadoes states the health of the island to be rood ; 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, 968 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, Zze. ' The army of Costa Rica has retreated withinjts oWn tertitory, panic-stricken by the ravages of aiS• ea§e. The Costa Rican exchequer is empty. It is alleged that the envoy of Costa Rica has induced the Government of Guatemala to join Honduias ,` 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 tranquil, developing its internal resources. Coffee and sugar, are successfully raised, and it is believed the latter , will this year become an article of export. The cochineal crcp has been a fair average in quantity, i 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 tho 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, in perfect health ; Arachne at Island of Trinidad. TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople, of tho 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 Iltb, mention that Marshal Pelissier was expected at the Pirmus. 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 Meuschikoff." 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 tiro following :- 4 , Vhe present peace is only for a time, just to clean up their arms, but afterwards the French and the Rus sians 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 stroyed every the Black Mountains and back de thing 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 been 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, s a y s :—" 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 Brahe, 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 met 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 pact to the amendment to the Metropolis Local Act, introduced by the Earl of Malmesbary, 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 pine of individual judgment.", THE PACIFIC. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING. By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain Valler, with the West India and Pacific mails, we, receive our usual newspaper files and despatches from the Pacific ports. The Pacific Steam Naviga tion CAnpany's steamer New Gronada arrived at Panama on the evening of the 21st of June, with 40 passengers and 400,000 dols. in treasure. Her dates are :—Valparaiso, Ist of June ; Coquimbo, 2d ; Huasco, 2d ; Caldera, 3d • C o bi ja , sth ; I qu •que, 6th ; Arica, 6th ; Islay, ith ; Pieco, 9tb. ; 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, 1 0 dols. 31 cents ; copper, per qql., 21 dols. 50 cents ; saltpetre, 2 dols. 50 cents ' • tin, 19 dots. ; bides , 18 dols. 15 cents ; cocoa, 8 dols. 50 cents ; C'nili guano, per ton, 15 dols. to 18 dols. ; saltpetre, per qql., 2 dols. 37 cents ; flour, 11 cents ; wheat, per fanega, 5 dols. Freights—To Havre, 115 f. ;to Liverpool, 4/. ; to Swansea, 4/. 10s. Congress was open at Santiago on the Ist o June. It was supposed that Sr. Montt would be re-elected without opposition as President of Chili, at the coming election. The treaty of friendship and free commerce be tween the Argentine Republic and Chili was con cluded and promulgated on the 30th of April. There were on the Ist of May upwards or $18,500,000 of merchandise in the Custom-bous e stores at Valparaiso. During the fortnight preceding the Ist of June, 13 cargoes from Europe and one from China had arrived. Mining industry continued prosperous, particu larly the copper department, which was daily in creasing. The Rio Plata provinces were still in difficulties , and continued to be troubled by revolutions - Buenos Ayres was devising means against the in roads of the savages. Paraguay was preparing to, go to war with Brazil. This latter province had 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 momentary 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 from Liver• pool, and the Alice from London. PUNCH AT THE ANTIPODES ! A capital specimen number of the Melbourne Punch—No. 35, vol. ii.—has just come to hand, pleasantly, amidst the more matter-of-fact advises received by the last packet from Australia. Tile wooden-headed wit of Fleet-street, we all know, has more brains in his noddle than many a skull borne upon the shoulders of a flesh an d blood reality in the guise of a man. So far, too, his namesake on the other side of the globe bears all the appearance of beil ) g a veritable chip of the old block. And With" out having a Lemon to acidulate it, or a Jerrold to infuse into each weekly draught an appetising and tonic bitterness—the Punch of Melbourne, South Australia, is really very pleasant tipple in its way, more effervescent than "pop," and more spark ling than champagne. Even as to the illustration s, it contrives to display no very egregious c ontrast to the pages, glorified by the pencil of John Leech, the, humorous and inexhaustible. For, in proof. 01 this, have we not at page 60 a Richard-Doyle - l iko "Sketch of the 'Ouse" — meaning of cou rse the local house of legislation ? A " Sketch," saith our antipodean contemporary (in parenthesis) “Taken. while an honourable member was delive rin g bull, self of his sintimints." There he is, sure enougul grinding away wea ril y b y t he hour—nobody taking_ the smallest notice of him. Even the Sp eaker for d once, as Buckstone would say, " having a goo think 1" The other members slumbering peacefullY . , or chatting contentedly together—the sintintoll mean while droning drowsily over all the mut tere ., b a bel of tongues like a cracked barrel organ rel raculously endowed with the Hibernian acts So The whole scene is pencilled most laughably• flourishes the Melbourne Punch, and so may it continue to flourish—this Punch turned Digger, that is to say Digger-in-the-ribs in Australis !

To•day 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. 4 Arragon is in insurrection. Gurrea has arrived at Saragossa. General Infante having assembled some 40 members of the Cortes, General O'Donnell had them 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.
