The Empress of the French, A letter from Madrid of the 22d gives the follow ing account of the grand ball at taw palace, i n honour of the Empress of the French Th e Queen and the Empress entered the ball-worn at 20 minutes before 11, and were followed by file King Consort, the Princess Anna Murat, the In fantes Don Francisco and Don Sebastien, the Infanta G iris tins, the whole diplomatic body, including the Faye . ) Nuncio and his First Secretary Baron Cavalchm,i, the Chargé d'Affaires of Italy, and the Count. de San Martino, who represents the ex-King of Naples. ' Queen Isabella was dressed in white; her robe was covered with the richest lace ; her crown of large diamonds and her necklace of stones just as large a richl p r Louisa. were most dazzling. The Empress, who was also in white, wore a crown of diamonds mixed with rubies and emeralds and a neckla ce o f e i g ht r o ws of pearls. Their M a j es ti es wore t h e G ran d C or d on o f th eaPndrinhceead ss A d l r u es r s athad a on a white dress cov ere d w i t h sma ll l eaves i n em broidery,e Order of Maria ea rl necklace, kce The com posed of a comb ornamented with diamonds and some ears of corn. It would occupy too much space to describe the splendid toilettes displayed on this occasion. I must, however, be allowed to say that the Duchess de Medina-Cali, her sister, the Mar quise de Villaseca. Madame Gnilhou wife of the Director of the Gen era l Credit Company, the Ducheese de La Torre, and the daughters of Gen. Ros de Olano and of the Marquis de M . iraflores, shone pre-eminent by the elegance of their toilettes. The King wore the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour, and the French Ambassador the Grand Cross of Charles 111. Queen Isabella did not dance, in consequence of her interesting position, and the Empress only twice. Princess Murat was vis-a-vis 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 confusion, 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." 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. Before the Empress got into the railway 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 naira will not leave her until she embarks on board the Aigle. The Countess do Montijo could not go with the Empress as far as Toledo on account of the delicate state of her health. We hops 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."

Macneil. A Highlander by bi colonel of the Ross.shire Buffs. Who will now succeed to he 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 ? On the contrary, at the battle of Cawnpore, in the year 1857, Havelock so greatly admired their courage that ho addressed to the 78th Highlanders these 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'e " 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 lab . ours, your privations, your sufferings, and yo ur 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 colonelcy of the 78th Regi ment, is less certain. Highlanders 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 CHURCHES.—The Archbishop of York laid the corner stone of a new 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 eereiliony Lord Wharncliffe took the chair, and made some observa tions on t h e n ecessity of having free churches among the labouring population. Ho 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 ought to be lef t behind at the door of the church, folded u p like umbrellas, and all should appear before their Lord and God as perfectly equal, as sinners seeking His mercy, I n a f e w days it would be his pleasant task to go to the other end of the county and lay the foundation stone of a church among a population working, like that, in iron, every seat in w hi c h would be perfectly free. He would mention another instance of a free church being open e d, i n the hope that it would possibly bear fruit amon g th ose present.' The clergyman of a small country parish has lately restated his church. He told legal ' his people they h a d no right, but mere ly a presci iptive right to th e i r seats, and suggested that t hey should revert to the law, and make theseats i fact, as t h e y were in law, absolutely free.

IRELAND, DUBLIN, Oct. 28. Five most respectable looking persons were placed in the dock of the Commission Court yesterday to take their trial on a charge of robbery. Their names are Arthur Robert Tisdall, Mize Tisdall, his wife, Sara h Nesbitt, Margaret Cunningham, and Bedelia French —Mrs. Tisdall's three sisters. There were also arraigned with them two servants, named Mary KellaghY and Catherine Kelly. The circumstances of the case are very peculiar. The prosecutrix, Mrs. M ar i a Buckland, came from New South Wales ( w h e re her husband resides) to this country about four months ago, and in th e mon th o f J u ly s h e took lodgings in Mr. Tisdall's house, 5, Ontario terrace, in the Rathmines t owns hi p . Sh e b roug h t with her an immense q uan ti ty o f va l ua bl e pro perty—wearing apparel, linen, &c., cont a i ne d i n 13 trunks and packing-cases. She remained at Mr. Tisdall's for six weeks, and during that t i me she missed a q uan tit y o f goo d s, among wh i c h were several s ilk d resses. O n the Ist of S ep tember she was obli ge d t o go to L on d on, an d t h e n the female prisoners c ommence d a w h o l esa l e p l u nder of her effects. H er b oxes were b roken open, and dresses, tablecloths, sheets, &c., carried off to t h e pawnbroker's, while pieces of silk and satin were consigned to two dressmakers, to be made into robes for the plunderers. After 12 days Mrs. Buck land returned, and put the matter into the hands of t h e detectives. On the o ffi cers procee di ng w i th Mrs. Buckland to search Mr. Tisdall's house, Mrs. Tisdalini t tie n w number the pro secutr i x, struck her a dreadful blow theface,be and threw s evera l thi ngs at h er.

The defe n ce set up was th at Mrs. Buckland had either given th e arti cles as presents to the f ema l e pr i soner s, or in payment of an a ll eged de b t. Judge Keogh, in c har g in g the jury, observed that the two defences c ontradicted each other, and the stolen property was too largo a n d valuable to support he e either no evidence against Mr. Tisdall, as were also the two servan t s , who had only taken th e goods to the pawn offices by direction of their resp ec ti ve m i stresses. The four remain in g female prisoners w ere f oun d Tisdan, ground.he was There discharged, being guilty and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. with hard labour. They fainted on hearing the sentence. A Board of Trade inquiry into the circumstances attending the loss of the ship Ganges, which was wrecked near Cushendrin, en the Antrim coast, or. the 18th of September, was commenced on Friday at the Custom -house here. The Ganges was the property of the Messrs. 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 was not seaworthy. T he captain (Mr. Thomas she Hoare) took the m b e f ore the magis trates, w ho directed a survey o f t h e vessel, which proving satisfact or y , the y ordered the crew eith er t o pro ceed on their voyage or undergo 10 wee k s ' im prisonment. The Gan g es s ailed on the 12th of Sep tember and encountered very bad we a th er . A t h a lf past 1 on the morning of the 18th the captain, who (Davidth the ship's Skeagh), who had the h a d been constantly on deck for 36 hou rs , re ti re d position, and di torect satisfied he m secondil f a mate st o his cabin to tak e ahttle rest, h av i ng prev i ously a w atch, not to alter her course without cons u lti ng hi m . That officer, however, at h a lf- past 2, ordered the crew to wear t he shi p , and in doing so she went upon the roc ks. The ca p t ain , awakened by the shock, rushed on deck, and accused th e secon d mate and crew of havi n g p ur posely destroyed her. lie did everything p ossible to save the vessel, but the sth se crew 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 fake ; 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 toto. 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 bim 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.

Tuesday, August 11, 315 p.m.—Entered the Bay of Kagosima, a moat 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 Kagosirsa. 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 in the demand, and give them till 2 p.m. on the 13th to come to terms. About 3 pan. on that day a beat 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, or agent of Satsuma, said there u 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, 14th—A boat came off about S 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 no further communication with them except under a flag of truce. At 10 a.m. the Admiral, accompanied by Parker, master of the Euryalus, embarked on board the gunboat Havoc, and proceeded up the bay to reconnoitre three screw steamers seen there on the 12th. The steamers were found still at anchor (a ship and two three -masted schoonere). 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 Argue, the Racehorse, the Coquette, the Pearl, and the Havoc. We understand they are to capture the steamers in the morn. big. 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 a.m.—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 vedslooking on,and some of the batteries were manned during the forenoon. There were two prisoners made on board the Sir George Grey—one celled Kasiwah, a doctor, who speaks and writes moderately good English, and had been to Europe with the Japanese Embassy, and was now a captain in Satsuma's service; and the other, called Otani, who was First Captain orAdmiral 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 24th inst. The wind has been increasing, and there is every appearance of a gale. Wind S.E. Noon.—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 ver our heads, 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, "Burn prizes and join Admiral." The steamers were soon in flames. It seemed a great pity to burn them, yet still the service required it. The value of the steamers alone, without 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 tolling well, par • titularly 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 men 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 shot. 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 ing Lieutenant Jephson and five men. A shell came through the starboard waist bulwark, and burst under the starboard launsh, 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 pounders. 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. Rac lorse 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 Nos. 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. 8 .; J. Smith, ordinary; Wm. Hagerty, A.B. ; H. 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, 171 h, 2 p.m.—Weighed squadron in company and steered for the entrance of the bay. Observed the town still burning, and at the distance of 12 or 14 miles could still see great volumes of smoke. Killed and Wounded—Euryalus-9 killed, 22 wounded (1 since dead), 2 mortally.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON 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 owner of the second horse, lodged a formal protest against the decision of the Stewards, and the matter had not been gone into by the J ockey 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 named 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 advantage 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 Plato of 60 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and up wards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Cam bridgeshire Stakes Course. Mr. Lincoln't.

The Muses Napoleon 111. has been thrown open to the public. It occupies the nine large rooms in the Louvre formerly occupied by the paintings of the French school, and which follow each other to the east of the square saloon. It is hero that the Phoenician antiquities, acquired during M. Renan's mission in PEceeicia and Asia Minor, have found their place. •A selection from the Dec de Llanyne's collection, paintings from Pompeii, and a portion of the Ceramics in the Cazupana Museum have also been -placed there. The first room is occupied by antiquities from Rhodes, Cyprus, and Jadma. One of the glass cases contains an antique vase from Judne 3, some fragments of Moabite pottery—which somewhat resembles the pottery introduced by the Arabs into Europe—and also some fragments from Gaza, the city known in connexion with Samson's astounding feat. The second room shows the first Asiatic form, with a bas-relief representing hunt ing-scenes, public games, and the like, are ranged n u o m v ovens, occupy u , p o y f r fishes,a m o beginnings of western pottery. Pitchers of an round the shelves of this division. These pitchers, intended to hold honey, wine, and oil, were found in the burial-ground of Argyllm. Vases painted in the primitive style, dating from the infancy of Art, follow in the next room. Next come vases in m h a u n m sh a i n p. b F us u t u s e , the adjoining room. In the middle is found a large sarcophagus in baked clay, called the Lydian tomb. In the glass cases ranged round the rooms are funeral urns for holding the ashes of the dead, sepulchral lamps, and bas-reliefs from the tombs. Many of these urns represent the e th i e usi s a h n a deceased recum pweoOrkf bent on his death-bed. One of these sepulchral tables represents a dog and some geese picking up the crumbs und er th e table. hl.bited earthenware found at Cceri, an Etruscan town, where the Bacchidaz, expelled from Corinth, established themselves 655 B.c. The art had then made great progress —the desi g ns were more artistic, the patt erns more correct, and the materials finer. During the Augustan period these vases fetched at Rome their price in gold. Some of the legs represented on them are in boots not inferior in elegance to those worn in our time. The period of the decadence in Greece follows. The vases in the next room are inferior in every respect—materi al, pattern, finish, and all. Metal began to reign supreme, and the art of pottery was neglected. In the eighth room are found a collection of red earthen ware n umber of and others, varnished with various col ours. together with p a i n t e d di s h es .
