MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1856. ' So, after all, the German Legion is to be dis banded. . The project of a select body guard of foreign mercenaries of the favoured race has been relactantly abandoned. But still they are not sent off empty-handed. " The Prince's Pets" have received solid advantages not bestowed on the mere English, and it now appears that they are to obtain further benefits, which those who have-borne the brunt of the conflict would ear nestly, but fruitlessly, desire. Those who have scarcely smelt .powder, certainly none fired in anger, have been•better treated than veterans who proridly bp - ar war medals with' four clasps on their stalwart breasts, and .• who endured with invincible fortitude all the privations and fatigues that cost the lives of so many of their valiant brethren, and permitted but a small pr-t ortien of the original number to return to their native land. The former were merely "playing at soldiers." An•agreeable trip to the Mediterranean was their most onerous duty, and while the British soldiers were braving death in the trenches, or rushing boldly to " the imminent deadly breach," they were enjoying themselves at the wine shops of Malta or Corfu. The same good fortune, or rather unblushing " nepotism," was manifested from the very begin ning of .their career. It would seem as if, ac .eording to official estimation, one German was worth four Englishmen, for the bounty he ac tually received was quadruple that which any native of the United Kingdom could obtain. The men, when enlisted, were equipped in the most efficient manner. An Enfield Rifle was placed in everyhand, and all other camp or fighting requisites were supplied with pram., liberality. They were stationed first at Shorncliffe, then up the Medi terranean, having neither, to, endure hardships nor to encounter fatigua or clinger • either from the enemy or from sickly stafions. On their return they were ..again quartered ,in the most eligible localities, until th.ir insolent treatment of British soldiers--men who could exhibit war med I,ls, which they could not spew —provoked the retalia tion, which proved that they were likely to come off snood best in the affrays which were rendered of daily,occurrence. On discharge the Germar.,3 received a clear yeal's pay, besides a free Passage to th e i r re , spective homes or to some British colony selected . by themselves; while our own militia were tu rne d off, in many instances, naked and penniless, with ..! 1 . out receiving the full amount of th e b ounty that. - . bad been promised at the time of their enlistment. Even the privates of the Land Transport Corp s _ s.. , one, of the most efficient and valuable bodies of a' men in the British service, who had worked hard 1. in tbe Crimea—were discharged with. a paltry ::.• pound each, while the Germans received from i • • ' 181. to "3/ '. . ...' ' nut, as if 'there was not sufficient. encourage meta for .the fortunate mercenaries, it appears that all who tvidl, to volunteer—and wa suspect few will rject the offer—are to be sent out to form a military colony at the CApe, where each man will receive a fr , :e grant of land, so as to render hitu Perfectly independent and comfortable for the remainder:of life. The married men 'will be allowed: to take out their wives and fami lies, and the single Itare fullpermission to' marry ' .where and when they think proper. Now,, L imy be 1 - 111 very we l l to • • • obtain military colonists, who shall oppose an organised force to the aggressions of dangerous and teatl esa neigh bours. But why, we ask, are w© t o found a German colony with English money ? why are we to send out men who owe no allegiance to the throne of Great Britain, and who, when they have obtained all they can hope to obtain, will be prepared to sever the connection at the earliest possible moment ? Are there no English veterans, men who have well and faithfully served their country, and rendered unquestionable proo of their fidelity, who would eagerly grasp at the opportu nity ? .A reduction in the army is to be effected next year. Soldiers of the line, who entered for limited service, will be discharged, to say nothing of the immense number of militiamen who have been turned off to earn their livelihood as they best can. Would not a selection of the most meritorious of these men have made as trustworthy colonists as the German Legion taken en masse ? Would they not to a man have rejoiced in ob taining the favour granted to the Germans, and have they not higher claims on England than any foreign mercenaries whatsoever ? These are matteis on whiclA no second opinion can be entertained by any true-hearted Bri ton.. Ho must regard with disgust and in dignation the gross and palpable favour itism displayed towards the pets. Surely Eng land should be kept for the English, and not for the Germans. The backstairs, and under hand influence may be carried a leetle too far. The operation can scarcely be carried out without expense, and we earnestly trust the House of Commons may closely scrutinise every item, and refuse to sanction the outlay even of a single shilling in furtherance of a scheme so unfair to the veterans of the British Army. ALEXANDER NICOL AIEVITCII has at last arrived at Moscow, there to receive at the hands of the Chief Hierarch of the Greek Church the crowns of All the Russias. As a matter of course, his entry into the capital of olden Russia, under such circumstances, was heralded with all the pomp and solemnity the mighty arbiter of the fate of countless myriads of semi -civilised, semi-savage, and, we regret to add, civilised men deemed ne cessary for the occasion. When an Autocrat gives his orders, what is to stand in the way of their execution ? S 3 after mid-day the guns, being duly charged, were duly discharged by the ap pointed individuals ; the salvo of artillery aroused the appointed ringers to their task, and the equally obedient bells, with their clappers, shook the steeples, and caused both earth and air to vibrate with their outrageous con cussion. The anxious and well-drilled in habitants of Moscow line the streets to view the imposing impression, and the numerous actors, together with the still more numerous spectators, hurry to their respective posts. Three hours have elapsed, and still amid the maddening clangour the appearance of the Imperial visitor is patiently looked for. In a few minutes more the procession leaves the Petrovsky Palace. First comes a "Maitre de Police," with twelve mounted !Jens d'armes to clear tho way ; next the EMPEROR'S body guar , l, in their magnificent uniforms, squa drons of Cossacks of the Black Sea, and of the re giment of the Guards, the representatives of the heut noblesse on horseback, all in uniform ; the representatives of the Asiatic populations which acknowledge the sovereignty of Russia, with valets, lacqueys, and runners of the Court—altogether a very picturesque, if not a very reflective and en lightened, multitude. Next come masters of ce remonies, and others of the same imposing tribe, with their badges of office. After these, who but ALEXANDERNICOL 4IEVITCH on horseback, attended by the Minister of his Household, the Minister of War and his aides-de-camp. To whom succeed the princes of the blood, also on horseback, the Em press, the Empress Mother, the Grand Duchess and the Princess of Oldenburg, in their carriages, followed by their ladies of honour, and they in their turn by squadrons of Cuirassiers, which close the procession. In this state the Imperial CZAR makes his entry into Moscow, and is hailed by a fresh salvo of guns and received by the Military Governor of the ancient capital at the head of his employes, Onward moves the procession until it reaches the appointed spot where the magistrates and submis sive burghers are to welcome their new mister. On again and the marshal and the nobility of the Government of Moscow have their turn ; and again. on until the procession reaches the gate of the Resurrection, where the Civil Governor and the civil authorities of the city (Moscow must be abundantly governed, what with military and civil magnates and officials) wait to greet the high and mighty source of their authority. This duty duly discharged, a religious spectacle of the rarest in terest, considering who are the actors, is pres 3n tel to the much-favoured spectators. The EMPEROR gets off his horse, the Princes dismount from their horses, and the Empresses, Duchesses, and the Princess leave their carriages, and all of them pros trate themselves before the image of Our Lady of Iberia ! Far be it from us to offer, in the least dogmatically, any suggestion of ours by way of im prove:nent of the ceremonial ; but, until better in formed by some eloquent JEAMES who knows all about it, we may remark, in our humble opinion, Our Lady of Siberia might have answered—for humane purposes at all events—better. From his homage of the Ingage of Our Lady of Iberia at the Resurrection-gate, the procession repairs to ;he gate of the S tviour 1 Here there is no image :o be wDrsbipped, though the need would seem to be the greater ; but what has the ruler to whose pride and ambition so many hundreds of thousands conscripts owed their death on the steppes of - - Russia, and at Sebastopol, to do with the SA- viour ? But let us.hasten on with the procession as it passes through the decorated streets, and by,. the . crowds of clergy collected.in all pomp at the gates' of their churches, until, amid the roar of great guns, the frantic pealing of bells, and the loud acclaim of the multitude, the EMPEROR and Royal Family reach the Cathedral of the Assueep. lion, and enter its sacred precincts. The ceremonial observances here are enough to make the mouth water. Canticle "succeeds to the clash of sabres, and the clash of sabres to canticle. Relics are brought out to be kissed, and images pointed out to be worshipped ; and what with osculation and pros tration the Imperial Family have a hard time of it. Not an image, nor a relic, but exacts one or other, or both those processes in its honour ; and all that ,is . left us is to hope they ate "a happy family," and, contrary to Russian usage, are : 'kept sweet and clean. It would. have been -strange indeed, if, while beneUriOg' e 'sainted relics and conse crated images of depar . .el worth, the Holy Czars of Russia failed to receive their incon.iostible meed of boinlge. They did not. Havin4 visited two cathedrals, the Imperial family, with the EMPEROR at their head, repaired to a thirid- I ;he Cathedral of S. Michael, and there dd y pris- trated themselv,s before the tombs of is MA- JESTY'S ancestors.

Faugh ! our gorge rises at it. The world must have a long lease of existence when, after six thousand and more years, we find civilisation so very young, and right and reason to have made so small an advance. The only question we are disposed to ask, by way of conclusion, is—how many crowns the less would be placed on the EMPEROR'S head if the officiating Patriarch kept back those• which don't of right belong to his Imperial master ? Our future Home Secretary, or Minister of Education—eur future Premier, perhaps, one day—is again in the field. A week or two ago he was the leader at a Reformatory Union Meeting ; now we have him amongst farming stock and implements ; and to every one of the varied branches of social improvement on which ho speaks bringing no mere off-hand com mendations of " this most important object," but studying carefully beforehand all accessible infor mation (and how much is accessible to the wealthy son of a peer and member of our House of Com mons), and leaving every audience he addresses with clear views of what has been done, and what wants to be done, and, as far as our state of knowledge permit; of how it is to be done. The meeting of the Royal North Lancashire Agricul tural Society is, however, an every way appro priate occasion for the heir of the Derby estates and title to show his knowledge of the general position of Agriculture, and his interest in its improvement, and especially in the improvement of that of North Lancashire. The ablest of the Peelites could not have deli vered a speeeh more thoroughly condemnatory of the policy which Lord DERBY called the present Parliament together to re-establish, or more com pletely turning the " wisdom of Parliament" sneer of Mr. DISRAELI into well-deserved praise of the preceding Parliament, than that of Lord STANLEY, or of Sir J. K. SHUTTLEWORTH. Why, it appears that farmers are now spending one million and a half annually for artificial ma nures; that they have drained one million acres of land, and spent 5,000,0001. in the operation within the last three years, and in the same period have expended not less than 5,000,0001. on guano alone ! Ten millions of money spent in draining and guano—by the men, too, who a fewyears back spent all their breath in clamouring for protection ! But that is not all. Farming is fast becoming what we are accustomed now to call a manufacture, because hand labour is giving way rapidly to steam and machinery. At the last Essex show no less than one hundred and forty seven firms exhibited implements, and it was altogether the largest exhibition of Agricultural machines which has yet been made. Since 1850 not less than thirty-five patents have been taken out for inventions in the single lino of steam-ploughing ! And since 1852 one firm alone, Clayton and Shuttleworth, of Lincoln, have sold thirteen hundred and ninety steam engines for agricultural purposes, of an aggregate horse-power of nearly nine thousand ! These are cheering facts. They point to the elevation of the entire agricultural class. Landlords will not long endure the lag behind little tenants at will. Wages will improve, as they always do, when the steam engine is the moving power, saving the hands and exercising the brains. We even see in all this a real reform bill. Capital and intelligence cannot be long worked like political galley-slaves, and the Sir ROBERTS and Six' . tEARRYS, of the Grange, and the Lodge, and the Hall, will lao too much implicated in the course of improvement themselves, not to catch unawares the spirit of Reform and to remain Tories in name only. Great stress was laid at the meeting on what we had, casually as it happened, called attention to on Saturday as two main desiderata for Eng lish agriculture. Lerd STANLEY asserts that the great agricultural want is, some easy practical means of deodorising and concentrating that natu ral manure which, wo in this country, almost wholly waste. Guano must tie exhausted in no great length of time ; but wherever human beings exist, what we take from the soil might be almost entirely replaced, and will be whei necessity drives us to invent what science shows we chiefly want. Lord STANLEY tells us, and he is a man who verifies his statistics carefully, and always speaks within the mark, that we waste 5,000,0001. worth of manure in the valley of the Thames only ! And that the total waste is equal to one half, or two-thirds, of the taxation of the country. We have not the least doubt of it. We believe the time will soon come when no family or parish, or town, will think of carelessly wasting what has so great a commercial value. We have a California at our own doors which we persist in ignoring, and under the go vernment of Commissi niers of Sewers we are pay ing millions to poison our atmosphere with what wo ought to sell for a sum that would pay our scavengers' biil. We want, Ist, the cheap deodo riser ; 211 y, the cheap and local mechanical device; 3dly, the arrangement for very frequent, we should say - daily, r3moval. When we think of what may ba effected by our whole population becoming aware of the importance of saving manure, this alone opens a very anti-Malthusian view of the pressure of the population on the means of sub- sistence. Bat this is by no means all. Other improve rnents are going rapidly on. DrEdniug and arti- ficial manures, on a scale never before thought of, are aceoaipaniei by deeper ploughing and pulveri- sation of the soil. The value of old Times grand principle of husbandry, only empiric with him, but now vindicated by theory, is recognised by men of science, and is seen to be the principle of other practices adopted by the farmers,; theory is now reacting upon practice, and we shall have in a raw years the soil of the country drained, manured, and deeply pulverised, to an extent which, only a very faw years back, was never thought of. Then there are the reaping machines for securing what we glow. It was stated at the meeting that a million of money was lost by the late stor n, on account of corn being uncut a; the time it occurred, which ought to hAve been reaNd. Anoth3r year or two wilt save U 3 from that loss; and, as we believe, iu a few years more we shall be devising the means, chimerical as the suggestion now appears, of plac- ing the corn cat down by the- reap3r out of the reach of injury from wat. The business of agri- cu►ture is to get all it cm out of earth, air, and sunshine, and to become as independent as mly be of the irregularities of the seasons. By deep ploughing and pulverising th© soil, droughts are renderel much less injurious—draining meats exce33 of wet for the growing crop—we still want to lessen ansie4 when the barometer falls, and our sheaves are yet abroad. Be all this as it may, Lord STANLEY can now infJrna his father that the abolition of protection is in the fair way to render us, if ever we can be so, ind endent of foreign supplies. The Hon.

(From the second Edition of the Times.) CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 21. The question of the Serpents' Island seems to complicate itself more than could be expected in the first instance. Circumstances have transpired which plainly show that the Russian occupation was not due, as might have been supposed, to mis understood instructions or over zeal of the autho rities ab Odessa, but rather to positive instructions from St. Petersburg. In this state of the question it will, therefore, not be amiss to give an exposé of the whole affair up to this moment. The first, news of the occupa tion was very vague. The Porte received an inti mation from the officer commanding the Turkish party of 50 men sent to the island to restore the light-house, that a Russian detachment had landed on the island. Neither the number of the Russian detachment, the manner of their arrival, nor the explanation made by them, was given in the first instance. Iu order to ascertain all the details, which was necessary in order to judge of the nature of the Russian occupation, Lord Lyons despatched her Majesty's ship Giadiator, Captain Hillyar, t o th e spot, will() the Turkish Government sent a com missioner there for the same object. The news which they brought back was, as you know, that seven Russian marines, with a lieutenant, had come to the island, giving as the object of their arrival the restoring of the light-house. As the officer commanding the Turkish detachment had no instructions to prevent their landing—which he could easily have done, considering that his force was not only superior in numbers, but were armed, while the Russians were not—the Russians landed without opposition, and wore quartered in the only house which exists ou the island, where they were living on the hospitality of the Turks, who treated them as their guests. Before these details arrived, which showed that the Turks were actually in possession of the island and not the Russians, and that the Turkish flag alone was waving over the lighthouse as a symbol of their occupation, the simple fact of the Russian occupation was sent to England, the answer to which was the order to Lord Lyons to remove the Russians from the island. By the time this answer arrived the Gladiator had likewise arrived, bring ing the above-mentioned details, which modified considerably the first impression that prevailed when the occupation became kuown, and under' which impression the order to remove the Rus• sians had evidently been given. The gallant Admiral followed, therefore, more the spirit than the letter of this order, and sent back Captain Hillyar, of the Gladiator, with in structions to offer to:the Russian Lieutenant com manding the detachment on the Serpents' Island to give him and Lis men a passage to Odessa ; and, if they did not consent to this, to proceed to Odessa and ask for their removal by the authorities there. Captain Hillyar proceeded accordingly to the Island and made his offer, which, as might be expected, was not accepted by the Lieutenant, who excused himself by his orders to remain on the Island until further instructions from his superiors. So Captain Hillyar went to Odessa, and asked, according to his instructions, for the removal of the Russian detachment on the Serpents' Island. The Governor asked for 48 hours' delay, to tele graph to St. Petersburg for instructions. The answer from there was that the Russians could not be removed until the question of the Serpents' Island was settled by the Conference at Paris. The answer gives a key to the view the Russians hrve taken upon this question. They consider the Serpents' Island as part of the territory of Bessarabia to be annexed to Moldavia, and they will not give up their pretensions to this part until the whole frontier question be settled and the matter finally arranged by tl* Conference of Paris, which is to meet after the labours of the Commission in the Principalities have . been brought to a close. According to theretter of the treaty the Russians are, of course, not obliged to give up, before the whole frontier question is settled, any part of the Bessarabia!' territory which they actually possess ; but it may be questioned whether they can be allowed to stretch the letter of the treaty so far as to re-occupy a place about the cession of which there ought surely to be no doubt, and which they had abandoned. When Captain Hillyar received the answer at Odessa he returned to the Serpents' Island and stationed himself there, sending down the gun-boat which bad been put at his disposal with the news to the Admiral, who sent back instructions to him to remain there in observation and prevent any at tempts the Russians might make to increase their force. This precaution was not useless, as the sequel showed, for on Friday last, the 15th instant, a Russian steamer made her appearance before the island, having on board M. Boti anoff, Conselior d'Etat and Gentilhomme de la Cour, and a staff for the re-establishment of the lighthouse. The Conselior d'Etat, when he made the Turkish commander acquainted with his mis sion, which was to see the lighthouse restored, was told that the thing had been done, and that the commander of the Turkish detachment bad no or ders to receive any further reinforcement of Rus sians on the island. Seeing that his intention of ,landing an additional force on the island had been foiled by the precaution taken by Admiral Lyons and the Turkish Government, M. Botianoff left in the evening in the direction of the mouths of the Danube. Captain Hillyar, suspecting that this was done with the view of taking the superior com manding Turkish 'officer there by surprise, and gain an order of admission through him to the island, sent the Snake gunboat, which overtook and passed her, so that when the Russian steamer arrived M. Botianoff found the Turkish Commander au fait to what had passed and on his guard, so that his ob ject was foiled there just as well as at the island. Thus tie question rests for the moment. It seems that if the allies forgot to mention the Serpents' Island in the treaty, the Russians have forgotten to re-occupy it in tune, and they are now trying to - repair the omission, •in which intention they have been, however, hitherto foiled by the rapidity with which the Turks restored the light house and by the vigilanCe of Lord Lyons. The actual occupation and the keeping up of the light house by the Turks give these latter the benefit of possession, which, in politics, may be said to be more than nine points of the law. The Russian detachment cannot be said to be in possession of the island, for they have nothing todo with the lighthouse, and it is the Turkish flag which is wav ing there. M. do Boutenieff has arrivad at last. He came in on Tuesday afternoon on board a small Russi steamer, and landed at his palace at Bujukdere, over the gates of ►vhich the Imperial Eagle had been pre viously replaced. Yesterday Mr. Argyropoulo, tiffs first dragoman, the same who accompanied Prince Aienschikoff in his mission, announced his arrival to the Porte. 'ln consequence of M. de Boutenieff's arrival Mehemet Kepresli Pasha was to leave to day. Last week several hundred Montenegrins and Croats, who had been working in the different vil lages of the Bosphorus, left this place for their own country, with the undisguised intention of fighting there against the Turks. YRANCE. PARIS, S VNDAY EVENING. "Accounts from Biarritz," says the goniteur, "state that the sea bathing has been of great ser vice to the Empress, and that the 'climate is most favourable to the health of the Prince Imperial. The Emperor takes the most lively interest in the improvement of the port of Bayonne, on which subject the Chamber of Commerce of the town has presented a very important report to his Majesty. The Emperor, after a long conversation with the engineer of the port, gave orders for the immediate adoption of means for removing the bar by alopting the system invented by some Italian erigineers, and which has been attended with the beit results under similar, circumstances at the mouth of the Reggui-Lagui, near Naples. The Emperor has also had a long conversation with Marshal Serrano, the newly appointed Spanish Ambassador, who recently arrived at Biarritz, on the subject of the junction of the Frenzh railways with those of Spain." The Debats says :—" It is well known that the session of the councils-general opened on the 25th. In almost all of those of which we have received accounts, one of the first questions raised was that relating to the important modifications contem plated in our customs tariff. Unfortunately the opinions and tendencies which have manifested themselves on this subject are very divergent." BOURSE, Aug. 30.—The following were the last quotations : calib. fr. e.

SPAIN. The only Madrid journal which appeared on the 25th, that day being Monday, was the Gazette, and it contains a letter from the Minister of Public Works to the Minister of the Interior, expressing the Queen's thanks for sundry works in agriculture, presented by the French government to the Spanish commissioner in the late agricultural show at Paris. A letter says that two Royal princesses, Dona Josefa and Dona Isabella, had not been invited to the marriage of their sister, Dona Amalia, with Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, on account of their mar riages having been beneath their dignity, though, it is said, "excellent in every other re spect." The same letter says that M. do los Santos Alvarez had been dismissed from the post of minister Mexico, girt that it was not known for what reason. Another letter from a ministe rial source says :—" The important measures adopted by the Government, which give a clear idea of its policy, are generally approved of both at Madrid and in the provinces, not only by moderados and conservatives, but even by mode rate progressists. With respect to the dissolu tion of the national guard, all admit that that force could not be entrusted without danger with the protection of liberty. All formal resistance to the existing state of things is impos sible, and none of our political parties seem at all disposed to attempt any." The Infanta Amalia, consort of Prince Adalbert of Bavaria., is the fourth and youngest daughter of the Infante Dan Francisco de Paulo, brother of the late King Ferdinand VII. The three sisters of this princess married, one, the Cmnt Gurowski, a Polish emigrant, who has long resided at Brussels ; another, M. Gueiby, a rich merchant of Havana ; and the third, the Duke de Sessa, son of a grandee of Spain. The Infanta Amalia is the first princess of this house who has contracted a royal alliance. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin in the Debats thus refers to the intentions entertained by the Prussian Go vernment of increasing the fortifications of Span dau :—" It is at Spandau that our principal mili tary arsenals and depots are situated as well as the manufactories of aims and ammunition. This place, which under our first kings was very strong, has successively received such an increase to its fortifications that it may now be considered as a fortress of the first lank. Even as it now is it woulrl protect the capital under any eventuality which war might occasion, and it is for the purpose of rendering the position of Spandau still stronger that the Government has come to the resolution to fortify the hill which stands in its immediate neighbourhood." _ _ Another letter in the same journal says :—" It has been already announced that the Prince of Mecklenburg Schwerin, brother of the reigning Grand Duke, after resigning his post as major in the royal guard, retired to a chateau belonging to his uncle the King, at Koenigsberg. The sensation caused at Berlin and in military circles by this strange affair had scarcely subsided, when it was heard that the Prince had left the above chateau, and had embarked by a steamer for Copenhagen, whence he intends, it is said, to proceed to Ame rica. His brother the reigning Grand Duke has on several occasions alvanced him very considerable sums, but on this occasion it is said that the debts and liabilities of the Prince amount to more than half a million. It appears that the holders of his bills have refused to enter into any compromise, and that it is to avoid legal proceedings that he has determined to quit Germany for America." " The King of Prussia," says the Konigsberg Ga zette, " will arrive at Heilsberg on the 3d Septem ber with a suite of 140 persons. The troops which will take part in the manoeuvres will arrive there on the 4th. They will be divided into the army of the east and the army of the west. The grand review will take place on the 6th. The manoeuvres will be resumed on the Bth, and will continue to the 12th." A Berlin letter in the Gazette of the. German Empire says :—" We are assured that the King of Prussia lately wrote a confidential letter to the King of Naples, in which he prayed him not to run the risk of renewing war, by persisting in a policy which may excite insurrections and cause the intervention of the Western Powers. It is said that the King did this because it appears that the King of Naples imagines that Russia and Prussia approve of his political system, and will support him if necessary. it is stated that the King of Naples has not returned any reply to his Majesty's letter." A letter from Drontheim (Norway) to the Stock holm Aftonbladet says :—An association of Roman Catholic missionaries are visiting the districts of Finmark. They have purchased the vast domain of Altengoard in that province, and intend changing its present name to that of the " Estate of St. Olaus" (the Apostle of Norway). These mission aries, who are very hospitable and affable, have brought with them a complete printing-press. The Minister of Justice has summoned each of these missionaries to declare in writing his name, his age, the place where he studied, the nature of those studies, and whether he belongs to the Society of Jesus or not. The Parma Gazette of the 25th gives an account of the celebration of the Duchess Regent's fete on the preceding day. The solemnity commenced with salvos of artillery ; mass was performed in the cathodral by the bishop, in the presence of the ministry and diplomatic body, after which there was a grand review. A letter from Tuscany, in the Corriere A f ireano tire' f Genoa, states that the subscription for the 10 - guns intended for the new fortifications of Alessan dria is proceeding with extraordinary rapidity The lists are being publicly circulated, notwith standing the efforts of the police. Among th e f subscribers may be mentioned Marquis Gino Cap t poni and Advocate Galeotti. At Leghorn a grea number of porters have subscribed. The Vienna Pres'e of the 26th contains the fol lowing :—" The arrival of Baron Hubner at Naples has been incorrectly announced. On Satur day last he was enjoying sea-bathing at Venice, and had - the intention of starting on the 24th for Dalmatia and Southern Cardinal Viale Prela, whose arrival at Trieste on the 25th, and departure on the following day for Ancona, are announced by the Trieste journals, is, according to the Cologne Gazette, abeut to be ap pointed to the direction of fordign affairs of the Roraan•States in place of Cardinal Antonelli. That journal says :—" This measure will be adopted in order that he may be better able to oppose the efforts which the Austrian ambassador, Count Col loredo, is making to obtain a modification of diffe rent points of the concordat." DEATH OF LIEUT. HUGH FLEHING.—This old and meritorious officer died at his residence, the Upper Foun dation; Windsor Castle, on Saturday last. Lieut.

FALL OF A TALL CHIMNEY.—ShortIy alter five o'clock on Thursday a'ternoon the colossal chimney attached to the vitriol - works of Mr. Jones, at Victoria•quay, facing the Royal Barracks, Dublin, suddenly fell with a terrific crash, levelling with their foundations several high walls in its vicinity, and breaking down the greater portion of a long slated shed, fortunately, however, without doing the slightest personal injury. This chimney, which had long been Known as the largest as sell as the loftiest in Dublin, was built 24 years since, its dimensions being—height, 150 feet circumference, from 60 to 70 feet; and internal diameter, 24 feet. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THR STEAM-SHIP ASIA.. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. This day, at noon, the British and North Ame rican Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain E. G. Lott, arrived at this port. She brings the usual mails, 47 passengers, and $520,905 in specie on freight. She left New York on the 20th inst., and on the same day passed the royal mail steam-ship Africa, from hence, and the Alta, screw-steamer, from Havre. The Baltic from hence arrived at New York on the 17th, the Etna, from Havre, the same date, and the Edinburgh, from Glasgow on the 18th of instant. President Pierce has issued a proclamation, call ing for the Sessions and Congress to assemble at Washington on the 21st August. There have been terrific storms at New Orleans from the 10th to the 20th August. At Last Island, a summer resort, every house was swept away. Two hundred lives are believed to have been lost ; and at Grand Caillon Island, another watering place, thirty morn ; altogether between two and three hundred. The screw steamer Nautilus went down in the storm, and we regret to have to report that all on board perished. The cotton, corn, and sugar crops are incalculably damaged. The despatch from New Orleans states that Blobelege, Honduras, was nearly destroyed by fire on July 15. The Havanna advices state that the yellow fever is raging violently. Business is dull, and sugar unchanged in p r i ce . Advices from Mexico, of Aug. 8, state that the Government are taking active measures against Nidawrri, and believes he would submit new arti cles guaranteeing religious toleration to be added to the Constitution. Money at New York was in active demand at 7 per cent, on call loans. Stocks more active, and prices unchanged. Exchange on London, 1.091 to Unfavourable Euglish advices have affected the market. Breadstuffs lave declined in price. The Cotton Inarket was dull, and prices nominal Provisions unchanged, and the market heavy. Freights to Liverpool rather easier. Grain 7d. per bushel. NICARAGUA. The Panama Star and Herald, in its steamer edision, which wo have received by the West India mail, publishes the following "private and reli able" advices from Nicaragua " Walker's position is a most precarious one. Ile has only 1,200 followers—all told—while Rivas, who still contends that he is president, is fortifying himself at Canendagua, and has already 3,000 well armed troops. He has the sympathy of the entire country, except the few Americans who still adhere to Walker, and his countrymen are daily rush ing to his standard. Honduras and Guatemala are organising forces to invade Nicaragua, and drive Walker from the country ; and it is understood that as soon as the dry season resumes—now near at baud—they will make a descent on Nicaragua. Rivas will, of course, rec6ive their sympathy and co-operation, as Walker is now regarded by the people of Nicaragua as an usurper. " At first they were disposed to look upon him as their deliverer, but his many blunders and acts of cruelty have induced them to change their minds with regard to his character, aims, and purposes. " The circular which accompanies our steamer edition, written and signed by Americans who are or were prisoners in Costa Rica, sets forth some of the causes of Walker's unpopularity, and is, we presume, about the only truthful account of his doings in Nicaragua that has gone on to the United States, as no accounts have reached there lately except those that have appeared in Walker's own organ. The people of the United States have been deceived and misled with regard to Walker's true character and the ends he has in view, and the sooner their minds are disabused, the better for the cause of truth and humanity, as it may have the effect of restraining young men from going to that sickly and unhospitable clime. " The causes that impelled Walker to go to Nicaragua no longer exist. The people of the country no longer want him, and as he went there upon their invitation, as he alleges, he should now leave, since by his acts of cruelty he has driven them from his support. They prefer one of their own countrymen to preside over them ; and hence they cling to Rivas. Walker's arrogating to him self the right todepose Rivas the people of Nica ragua do not recognise. They regard Rivas as the rightful President of the country. He is so recog nised by the United States Government, and we are curious to know bow that Government will act in view of the present state of things in Nica ragua. It seems to us it must continue to recog nise the Rivas Government so long as it is in power, and has not been revoked by a clear expres sion of the people. We do not regard the election of Walker, by the votes of his few deluded follow ers, as a fair expression of the sentiments of the people of Nicaragua, and we presume the United States' Government will also view it as an unfair expression of their wishes. " We do not believe that peace will be restored to Nicaragua until Walker is driven or withdrawn from the country. And as he is now an interloper —a usurper, it is the duty of the United States to interpose, as they did when he invaded Mexico, and for ever put a stop to his schemes of self-ag grandisement. They owe it to themselves to do so. Nothing has done more to injure the American character, not only on this continent, but through out Europe, than the conduct of Walker in Nicar agua. If he were really struggling for liberty, and to better the condition of the people of that coun try, and had so acted as to secure their respect and co-operation, he would have our warmest sympathy and most zealous support. "But such we now firmly believe is not his pur pose. His object is evidently conquest and self aggrandisement. The toast he gave at a dinner in Granada, not long since, and which he supported in a speech, with regard to the ashes of Columbus which now repose in Havannah, indicates pretty clearly, we think, that he has designs on Cuba. Besides, one of his generals and confidential advi sers, recently sent as agent or minister to E ng l an d from Nicaragua, is a disaffected Cuban, and h as fer years been plotting the conquest of that island by Filibusters. " The commercial and business resources of Ni caragua, we are assured, are in the worst possible condition. Business of every description is en tirely suspended, and there is little or no money in the country. The greatest distress prevails, and the future as well as the present of Nicaragua pre sents a sad picture. We sincerely trust succour will soon be afforded to that unhappy country." WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS. The Royal West India mail packet La Plata, Captain Weller, from the WeA Indies, &c., arrived at Southampton yesterday, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. P. W. Purves, RN., Admiralty agent. Her dates of sailing were—Vera Cruz, sth August ; Tampico, 4th ; Havannah, 10th ; Colon, Bth ; Carthacrena, 10th ; Jamaica, 10th ; St. Jago de Cuba, 13th ; Demerara, 9th ; Trinidad, 9th • Barbadoes, 11th ; Antigua, 12th ; Martinique, 12th ; Grenada, 10th ; Porto Rico, 14th ; St. Thomas, 17th ; La Guayra, 9th ; Ber muda, 7th. The freight on board included 2,427,412 dollars from the Gulf and Spanish Main. 60,000 dollars of the specie brought by the La Plata are on ac count of Mexican dividends. _ _ _ There was lying at Antigua her Majesty's ship Vestal ; her Majesty's ships Ea) yalus, Falcon, and Eipiegle were at Port Royal; the Orion, Imperious, Cossack, Eurydice, Arrogant, Intrepid, Vic!,or, Pioneer, and Archer, were at Greytown. In Jamaica much sickness prevails, and the rate of mortality has increased. We notice in the obi tuary of the colonial journals the names of Isaac Jackson, Esq., of the Copse, and ofJamesTuck e tt ' Esq., of Lyssons. The weather on the wh o l e was favourable. _ . . • A sensible but not destructive shock.of an eartl quake was felt throughout the island at about a quarter to seven on the evening of the 3011 i July. The vibration continued for several seconds. Trade was dull ; but " on the other hand," says the Colonial Standard, cc some impulse has been given to sugar cultivation by the favourable i eports of the produce markets received within the last few months. Great complaint, however, is made, and very justly so, respecting the alteration lately made by Government in the standard samples by which the duties on sugar aro levied at the Cus tom-house. The effect of this alteration is to tax sugars of ordinary quality an additional is. 3d. per cwt. It is sufficiently grievous that an article of such precarious growth and of such general con vainaption should. have been selected for additional duty under a war tariff, but it is in the highest degree unjust, by . an artful device such as that now resorted to by the Treasury, to seek to increase the revenue at the cost of an interest that has been so long and so ruinously depressed. Under the new standard, sugars that last year paid only 13s. 9d. are now taxed 15s. per cwt., so that on this class of produce the additional war tax amounts to 50 per c en t. on th e d uty l ev i e d b y th e ordinary tariff. No other industrial product has been simi larly treated, nor would this be so if sugar were equally represented in Parliament with tea 5 10 cotton." British GniAna was healthy.
