A letter from Madrid of the 22d gives the follow ing account of the grand ball at the palace, i n honour of the Empress of the French :—" The Queen and the Empress entered the ball-room at 20 minutes before 11, and were followed by the King Consort, the Princess Anna Murat, the Infantes Don Francisco and Don Sebastien, the Infanta Chris tinai'thevehole diplomatic bady, including, the Papal Nuncio and his First Secretary Baron Cavalchini, the Chargé d'AffAires of Italy, and the Count de San M ertine, who represents the ex-King of r spies.

Princess Murat was vis- a - v i s in the first with Don Sebastien and in the second with the King. At midnight their Majesties withdrew to the grand gallery, where a splendid supper was served, and successively, and without the slightest confusi)n , the whole of the com pany invited, 1,500 in number, took their seats at table. After supper the Queen and the Empress walked through the saloons, and conversed with a ' number of persons. At half-past 2 their Majesties retired, but the great majority of the company re mained at the palace for nearly two hours after." i i sister, of of , the the The Correspondencia gives the following details of the Empress's departure from the capital—" Her Majesty left on the 23d for Toledo and Valencia. At 10 in the morning the Queen left her apartments with the Royal family, and proceeded to those of the Empress, who, attired in her travelling dress, was waiting for her Majesty. The two Sovereigns at meeting showed marks of the greatest affection. At half-past 10 the Empress, the Queen, the King, and the Princess Murat left the palace for the rail way station in one of the State carriages, drawn by eight horses richly caparisoned, followed by others containing the persons of the Imperial suite. The Countess de Montijo, the Infantes Dons Sebastien and Francisco, and all the Ministers were in waiting at the station. B efore the Empress got into the rail way station Queen Isabella embraced her in the most affectionate manner, and the Empress was moved to tears. The train started at 11. M. Barrot, the French Ambassador, accompanied her Majesty, and the Marquis de Villafranca and the Count d'Alta uaira will not leave her until she embarks on board the Aigle. The Countess de Montijo could not go with the Empress as far as Toledo on account of the delicate state of her health. We hope that her Ma jesty will feel satisfied with the reception she has met with in Spain, and that the Emperor Napoleon, on hearing the details of the journey, will see how highly Spain appreciates good allies, and how much she values the friendship of France." _twithstanding the last perilous voya aa " . s : eo n vn t e : nubs other til concussions daring rhsi sustained n r ce u oa i r a s bruises, contusions naNda r w, ;„ O nd ing the hairbreadth escape of the whole party gem a instant death, an escape effected through the cool. courage and wonderful exploits of one of them, NI.

Macneil. A Highlander by colonel of the Ross- shira Buffs. Who will now succeed to the colonelcy of a regiment which, soon after it was raised, gained the praises of Sir Arthur Wellesley at the battle of Assaye, and which has never been degenerate ? Oa the contrary, at the battle of Cawnpore, in the year 1857, Havelock so greatly a,:mired their courage that he addressed to the 78th Highlanders those words, " Should her Majesty ever be pleased to confer upon me a regiment, I shall ask, as the greatest boon, the colonelcy of the 78th High landers." The hardships and the dangers which this little band encountered under a hot July sun, on the plains of Bengal, and the important service which it ren dered in quelling a frightful insurrection against almost overwhelming numbers of mutineers, have been made known by Marshman's "Life of Havelock," and by other books. Never was fortitude under privation better displayed than when Havelock's force was shut up in Lucknow. But ser vices well described have not been well rewarded. No clasp has been given for the battle of Cawnpore, notwithstanding the courage there displayed. Havelock, Outram, Neill, and many of the heroes of Cawnpore and Lucknow are dead; but there are survivors of that little band who can better tolerate the loss of health than the want of honours. A clasp for Cawnpore, or a Companionship of the Bath for Luck now, would cost the country nothing. They would reward valour, and, moreover, render not fruitless the words of the dying hero, which have since been inscribed on the pedestal of his statue in Trafalgar-square—" Soldiers, your labours, your privations, your sufferings, and y our valour, will not be forgotten by a grateful country." The author of these words, if he had lived, would have advocated their claims, no doubt successfully ; that he would have been the succes sor of Maeneil, of Barra, in the co lonelcy of the 78th Regi ment, is less certain. Highlan ders might not have wished for their colonel an Englishm an, however proud they might have been of the aspiration of a Havelock. THE FREE SEAT SYSTEM IN CITURCHES.—The Archbishop of York laid the corner stone of a ne w church at Masbrough, near Sheffield, on Monday. The church will be free throughout, and will accommodate 800 persons. At an influential meeting held after the ceremony Lord Wharncliffe took the chair, and made some observa te.endtihoines tions on the necessity of having free churches among the labouring population. . He hoped that Masbrough church would lead to the erection of . other unappropriated churches. The Archbishop of York said he entirely agreed with Lord Wharncliffe. While there were social distinctions which no one, not even, he believed, the working man, wished to re move, and which were quite right in ordinary life, these e late w l o y u r ld ese : ought to be left behind at the door of the church, folded up like umbrellas, and all should appear before their Lord and God as perfectly equal, as sinners seeking His mercy, In a few days it would be his pleasant task to go to the other end of the county and lay the foundation stone of a church would of asm b a l e l o p o e un r perfectly y parish free. has il among a population working, like that, in iron, every seat another instance of . a free church being opened, in the hop that it would possibly bear fruit among those present.

SPORTING. INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGETON MEETING. WEDNESDAY• The day after the Cambridgeshire is generally a quiet one, but this year the unfortunate contretemps of the win ner's jockey not being able at first to draw his weight, and the various pros and cons the subject has given rise to, has tended to keep alive excitement, and some degree of un pleasant feeling. Lord Westmoreland, the ownor of the second horse, lodged a format protest against the decision of the Stewards, and the matter had- not been gone into by the Jockey Club when our parcel was despatched. Meanwhile the morning payment on the event was sus pended, and speculation throughout the day was languid in consequence. The racing was of no particular interest, and with one or two exceptions the fields were small. Lord Glasgow's fortune was in the ascendant, he carrying off the Stakes nanvid after himself with the Miss Sarah colt, and the £5O Plate with the one by Barbatus out of Seno rita; but in his match with Lord Coventry Knowsley suc cumbed to Umpire, who chose to be in a good temper, and won easily. A long delay at the post, and an ultimately very bad start, for the Private Handicap Sweepstakes, for three-yr olds, in which Juliet got an adtantage of some lengths, led to an objection against her as the winner, which was over ruled by the stewards. The 2-yr-old Handicap Sweepstakes fell to Attraction, and Countersign carried off the Subscription Plate for 2 and 3-yr-olds from a field of rather moderate performers. Capt. Christie was again fortunate with Lord Adolphus over the T.Y.C. There was a good race between Ely, Beatrix, and Mahometan as a finale to the proceedings, which was won cleverly by Ely. The weather continues fine. Optional Selling Plate of 50 says, for 3-yr-olds and up wards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Cam- bridgeshire Stakes Course.

They left the post nearly abreast, and ran so into the Abingdon-mile bottom, where the Miss Sarah colt drew away and won very cleverly by two lengths, the Bridle colt finishing third, a head in their rear; Mamhead was beaten off four lengths. Fifty Puund Plate, for 3-yr-olds and upwards; weight for age, maidens allowed 71b; the winner of 200 sovs to carry 51b extra. A.F. Lord Glasgow's Senorita colt, 3 yrs, 7st 31b ....

Croagh Patrick, on the upper ground, made play, having the Senorita colt at his girths, with Lady Abbess and Re set ve lying up. They ran in these positions to the bushes, where the two latter were beaten and dropped back, and Lord Glasgow's colt joined the favourite, the pair running togother into the bottom, where the Senorita colt drew away and won easily by two lengths.

Through the fractiousness of Peignoir and the anxiety evinced by the rider of Juliet to get away, the start was de layed half an hour. When Mr. M‘George lowered his flag Juliet got away with a flying start of 10 lengths, Poland going on second, with Lady Clifden, Cassidia, Paddy O'Rourke, East Sheen, and Farfalla following, widely spread, to half way down the Bushes-hill, when Paddy O'Rourke obtained second place, but without any chance of reaching Juliet, who cantered past the post half a dozen lengths in advance of Mr. Robertson's horse, who was the sam e distance in front of Casidia—Lady Clifden was fourth, East Sheen and Farfalla, side by side, were next Poland and Peignoir were the two last, the latter being left at the post.

There were also arraigned with them two servants, named Mary and Catherine Kelly. The circumstances KellaghT case are very peculiar. The prosecutrix, Mrs. uckland, came from New South Wales her husband resides) to this country about months ago, and in the month of July she took l o dgings in Mr. Tisdall's house, 5, Ontario terrace, in the Rathmines township. She brought w i t h her an immense quantity of valuable pro perty—wear in g apparel, linen, &c., contained in 13 trunks and packing-cases. She remained she missed a quantity of goods, among Tisdall's for six weeks, and during that a (foliw t lf uath M rhr eiera r ei3 were several silk dresses. On the Ist of September she was obliged to go to London, and then the female prisoners commenced a wholesale plunder of her effects. Her boxes were broken open, pa wnbroker's, while pieces of silk and satin were dresses, tablecloths, sheets, &c., carried off to a t time de which the prosecutrix, li the cfa2 cons i gn ed to two dressmakers, to be made into egrisv:oncrharging the jury, robes for the plunderers.

Martin of this city, and was bound from Stranraer, in Scotland, to Quebec, in ballast. while in Stranraer the crew became in subordinate and refused to sail in the vessel, alleging that she was not seaworthy. The captain (Mr. Thomas Hoare) took them before the magis trates, w ho directed a survey o f t h e vessel, which proving satisfactory, they ordered the crew either to procee d on their voyage or undergo 10 weeks' im prisonment. The Ganges sailed on the 12th of Sep tember and encountered very bad weather. At half past 1 on the morning of the 18th the captain, who had been constantly on deck for 36 hours, retired to his cabin to take a little rest, having previously satisfied himself as to the ship's position, arid di rected the second mate (David Skeagh), who had the wa t c h, not to alter her coarse without consulting him. That officer, however, at half-past 2, ordered the crew to wear the ship, and in doing so she went upon the rocks. The captain, awakened by the shock, rushed on deck, and accused the second mate and crew of having purposely destroyed her. He did everything possible to save the vessel, bat the cr ew disobeyed him, and thought only of saving their own effects. With the aid of the Coastguard all got safely to shore. On Monday the members of the Court, Mr. O'Donnell, police magistrate, and Captains Robinson and Baker, announced that they completely exonerated the captain, and the fault, if there was any, rested with the second mate, who was examined, and deposed that the statement of the captain that he told him not to wear the ship without calling him was false ; the order the captain gave him was not to stand to the southward of a particular headland, which the captain pointed out to him before going below. The wind veered to the south, and in order to comply with the order it was requisite to wear. The captain (who received a high character for ability and steadiness from the Messrs. Martin) contradicted this statement in Coto. The Court pronounced their decision yesterday, acquitting the captain and suspending the second mate's certificate for 6 months. The Corporation yesterday granted a salary of £lOO per annum to the city analyst, Dr. Cameron, who is to hand over to the city treasurer whatever fees he may receive from persons who employ him in his public capacity. The Lord Mayor was also authorized to purchase food suspected to be adul terated, and to submit it to him for analyzation.

HOSTILITIES IN JAPAN, We take the following details of the recent hos tilities in Japan from the Japan Commercial News of the 26th of August : BUNGO CHANNEL, Aug. 19. Tuesday, August 11, 315 p.m.—Entered the Bay of Kagositua, a most lovely bay, the entrance about seven to eight miles broad. Did not see any batteries. Anchored, at 8 50 p.m., in 17 fathoms about eight miles to the south of the town. Had a great diffculty in getting soundings. No bottom all the way up at 30 to 40 fathoms. Wednesday, Aug. 12, 7 a.m.—Weighed and steered for the town of liagosiraa. The channel deep-20 to 15 fathoms. Passed between the island of Tori and the point to the southward of the town; passed a shoal on the starboard side, above the water, with a pole on it. 8 40 a.m.—Came to off the town in 21 fathoms. The town appears to be strongly fortified. The forts full of men, with Satsuma's flag flying. A long line of forts in front of the town be hind which there were several large junks and five Chinese junks. On our anchoring off the town a boat came off with two officers. The Minister sent iu the demand, and gave them till 2 p.m. on the 13th to come to terms. About 3 p.m. on that day a boat came off with a Vice • Minister, on having a guard of 40 men. He would not come on board till his guard were allowed to come also. After having been on board a short time another boat came off, and then the Vice- Minister, tir agent of Satsuma, said there a as some mistake about the ansWer, and that he must go on shore again, and that he could give no information as to when he could give the answer. We immediately got under way, and moved out of range of the guns, and began to prepare for to-morrow morning. 8 p.m.—The same man came on board and deli vered a letter, but it was written in Japanese, and it would take time to interpret it ; so Lieut.-Col. Neal told him he must send off in the morning, and then he should know if we considered it satisfactory or not. Friday, Mh —A boat came off about 8 30 a.m. to receive the answer. I believe the answer was that we considered their letter very far from being satisfactory, and that we should have nu further communication with them except under a flag of truce. At 10 a.m. the Admiral, accompanied by Parkier, master of the Euryalus, embarked on board the gunboat Havoc, and proceeded up the bay to reconnoitre three screw steame.s seen there on the 12th. The steamers were found still at anchor (a ship and two three -masted schooner:), Went round the bay and found it deep, no bot tom with 40 fathoms, except close to the shore, within 100 yards-33 fathoms. The Admiral returned on board about 3 p.m, and made signal for the captains of the Argus, the Racehorse, the Coquette, the Pearl, and the Havoc. We understand they are to capture the steamers in the morn ing. 730 p.m.—Got springs on the cable. • Saturday, 15th, 4 20 a.m.—The vessels mentioned yes terday proceeded up the bay to capture the steamers. 10 ana,—The Coquette returned towing the Contest, the Argus the Sir George Grey, and the Racehorse the England. I think this rather astonished the people on shore, for there were cro ardelookingon,and emus of the batteries were manned during the forenoon. Tuere were two prisoners made on board the Sir George Grey---one called Kasi wall, a doctor, who speaks and writes moderately good English, and had beau to Europe with the Japanese Embassy, and was now a captain in Satsuma's service; and the other, called Otani, who was First Captain orAdniiral of Satsuma's steam fleet. Those gentlemen preferred to deliver themselves to the Admiral rather than to venture on shore after having allowed their vessels to be captured without resistance. They were landed at Kanigawa, under cover of night, on the 21th inst. The wind has been increasing, and there is every appearance of a gale. Wind S.E. Noun.—Low water. The Spit battery fired a signal gun, and imme diately all the batteries opened fired with shot and shell on the squadron, the shot flying very close ever oureheads, and a few shell bursting close alongside. Batteries firing shell from mortars tried to spring ship, with broadside to the batteries, with port spring, but could not, the wind being so strong. The Admiral made the signal to Coquette, Racehorse, Argus, "Barn prizes and join Admiral." The e,eamers were soon in flames. It seemed a great pity to burn them, yet still the service required it. The value of the steamers alone, withoat cargoes, was 300,000 dollars. 12 50 p.m.—Weighed and formed line of battle. 210 p.m. Opened fire with pivot gun on No. 6 battery, the shells bursting well, 220 p.m.—Opened fire on battery with starboard broadside, the shot and shell telling well, par ticularly the quarter-deck Armstrongs. The enemy's shot and shell began to fly very thick about the ship, cutting a great many of the ropes. Men in tops observed mon leave battery, our fire having dismounted four guns. We now began to approach the large batteries, owing to the wind blowing so fresh and directly on shore, all the smoke covered completely these forts, so that we could not tell how far off we were, but we supposed about 700 or 800 yards. 255 p.m.—Captain Josling and Commander Wilmot both killed on the bridge by one and the same s hot. The Admiral and Mr. Parker, the master, were on the bridge along with the captain and the commander when the latter were killed, and narrowly escaped the fatal ball. The Admiral's coolness and collectedness on this trying occasion was very remarkable ; but when all was over he paid a worthy tribute of feeling to the memory of the brave officers and men who had fallen around him on the spot. A 10-inch shell exploded at the muzzle of the No. 3 gun on main deck, killing seven men on the spot, and wound-• jag Lieutenant Jephson and five men. A shell came through the starboard waist bulwark, and burst under the starboard launeb, completely blowing her bottom in, but without hurting any one. A shot carried away starboard speaking tube on the bridge, and lodged in the brake of the poop, breaking all the cabin windows. The firing very hot ; at this time we were under the fire of 37 guns from 10-inch to 18 pouuders. 310 p.m.—Racehorse got on shore under No. 8 battery, she firing at it and keeping them away from the guns; the Argus and Coquette sent to her assistance. 330 p.m.—Ceased firing. 345 p.m.— Came to under Josling Point in 25 fathoms. 420 p.m,— Forts discontinued firing on the Argus. Rae- horse and Coquette observed the town to be on fire. 7 p.m.—The Havoc set fire to five large Loochoo junks. 8 p.m.— Observed Satsuma's foundries to be on fire; blowing very hard, with rain; ship with two anchors down and steam ing slowly against it. Midnight.—Town foundry and junks burning fiercely. Sunday, 16th, 4 a.m.—Town and foundry still burning; junks burnt to the water's edge and drifted on shore; saw that several had been dismounted in batteries NO3. 7 and 8. 11 a.m,—Committed to the deep the bodies of Capt. Josling, Commander Wilmot, and the following men :—Wm. Yard ley, A.B. ; J. Smith, ordinary; Wm. Hagerty, A.B. ; R. Lindsay, A. 8.; Joyn Warren, ordinary; John Hawkins, ordinary ; Patrick Fleming, Royal Marines, all killed yes terday daring the attack on Kagosima. Noon.—Town and foundry still burning. 930 p.m.—Weighed and proceeded in company with squadron; cleared for action. Engaged bat teries both sides, firing shell at Satsuma's house and town. 3 45 p.m.—Magazine in No. 11 battery and also that in Spit. Battery blew up batteries on Tori Island, and Spit Battery firing on squadron. 5 p.m.—Ceased firing ; observed the town to be on fire on the south of Satsuma's house. 520 p.m.—Came to off the Seven Islands in 8 fathoms, about 68 miles to the south of the town. 9 30 p.m.—Departed this life Thomas Harding, 8.1. C., from the effect of wounds received yesterday. Monday, 17th, 2 p.m.—Weighed squadron in company and steered for the entrance of the bay. Observed the town still burping, and at the distance of 12 or 14 miles could stia see great volumes of smoke. Killed and Wounded—Euryalus-9 killed, 22 wounded (1 since dead), 2 mortally. Pearl-7 wounded. Coquette —2 killed and 4 wounded, including lieutenant, Racehorse —3 wounded. Perseus-1 killed and 9 wounded. Argus —6 wounded. 'Total-12 killed and 51 wounded (1 since dead).
