Ministers have evidently, alter all, hit upon the to secure to th emse l ves t h e re t en ti on o f right policy dace by mans of the approbation pronounced upon their conduct —not certainly by the members of theorise o f Commons in Deb a t e , b ut b y t h e H majority of the votes of those members upon a Division. It is true , no doubt, that the Mi n i s t er i a l policy has been sternly re p robated by all ex cept Ministers themselves. jlais nimporte !—The ver dict proeiounced, after all that has been said and done in that way, was unmistakably in their favour. The House," as Mr. BRIGHT has now so very caustically and emphatically ma rked, " did not ce,rae to a vote of censure, but it did Utlani msusly, or at least with a general consent," adds the hon. member for Birmingham, , 6 it did with a general consent that I have never seen approached in a similar case, condemn the irritating and offensive policy of the Foreign- Office !" Not one instant's doubt about that, we take it ! But—even when 'Ministers have granted as much (as they cln eery well afford to do with an sir of delightful self.posse2sioo)--.vhat then ? There i s fee triumphant result of the division ! The 313 as opposed to the 293 ! The clear majority of Eighteen--under the cirennastances really and truly R swioging majority I Approved upon so large a division, by so really consider. ably a me j o rity as that same clear ma jority of Eighteen, in a house (counting the four tellers and the Spealeer) of 013—Ministers can, just as jauntily as they please, sweep out of conside ration, not merely the disapprobation expressed in their regard by the Opposition !—for that came to them, we may be sure, as a mere matter of course —but the firm ffnd uncompromising disapprovai of the Ministerial policy expeesseddaring the We debate by stern patriots like the right hon. mem ber for Stroud, like the hone gentleman the member for Stockport, like the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Sheffield, and other out speaking, but in-voting chiefs among the Liberal Independents. What matters it to Ministers how adverse the "opinions" expressed in regard t 3 their foreign policy, so long as the persons so condemning that policy support it vigorously and energetically by their "votes" ? No—upon second thoughts, upon calm consideration, upon deliberate reflection — Ministers aro clearly enough proved, by the result, :o have been " wise in their generation"—in carry- ing on the business of the nation precisely in the very way in which they have been carrying it on. And that chosen pathway—that selected policy? Don't we all know it by heart by this time ? This foreign policy that the House of Commons pronounces to be so odious and so intolerable, and yet accepts and endorses, so to speak, upon the division list! What does it not include as among its distinctive characteristics? No one can find it very much of a difficulty to enumerate at least a few among the more salient and more con spicuous of those characteristics. For it is wholly undeniable, it is universally admitted, it is perfectly legible, in fact, upon the blue books —that it includes, among other charming peculi arities, the following :—The repeated encourage ment of the hopes of Denmark that England would afford her material assistance, under certain dire contingencies, and then, when those contingencies actually did arise, the leaving Denmark in the lurch after all! The throwing out again and again of the most alarming threats against Germany as to what England would feel constrained to do under such and such circumstances, and then, when those circumstances actually did come to pass, pocketting the threats, eating the big words, and meekly backing out of it!! Those were the two principal horns of the dilemma upon which the Mi'nisterial policy may be said to have been impaled and held up to the scornful gaze of Christendom—" which," as Mrs. GAMP might say, in the words of the convivial chorus, " nobody can deny !" But—beside these, beyond these peculiarities, glaringly conspicuous upon "the head and front" of the ministerial "offending" in the matter of its Foreign Policy, there were others quite as readily distinguishable, and in a great measure what we might designate " all of a piece !" There was the elaborate preparation—with the brand of inevitable failure upon it from the very commencement—the elaborate and ostentatious preparation ~ by England, at the instance of Minis ters, here in Landon, of the abortive Conference! As there had previously been the unnecessarily discourteous rejection, by England, or at least in the name of England, on behalf of Ministers, by Earl RUSSELL as Foreign Secretary—the unpro vokedly discourteous, not to say wantonly im pertinent rejection (by Earl Russell as the mouthpiece of our Governmcni) of the French EMPEROR'S proposition of an European Congress. Sweeping aside all other peculiarities, there were at least those four very unpleasantly conspicuous peculiarities indelibly stamped upon the Foreign Policy of her MAJESTY'S Ministers! Yet— looking at the decision of the House of Commons —who shall say that it was not a wise policy for Ministers to have selected, or rathor to have fabricated? It may be a notorious failure in itself. It is admitted by Ministers, indeed, to be a note torions failure. But—what matters that ?—seeing that the House of Commons is ready to accept it, is eager to approve it, is prepared deliberately to support Ministers, in spite of this their Failure of a Foreign Policy by a victorious majority oi Eighteen ! roe English peop!e generaliy pride themselves on their power of self-discipline. We are not ac• customed in this metropolis to see public order maintain( d by the bayonet, or to entrust the guar dianship of our streets in times of peace to arized men. Foreigners unfamiliar with our ways express extreme astonishment when they first mingle among an English crowd, on the day of some grand festival, at the immense bodies of people whu are kept in order by a limited number of quiet blue...coated offi cials. We have always been proud of a liberty which few continental nations would know how to use if they had it, and our authorities know they may generally trust with perfect safety to the good sense, good temper, and fair play of an English mob. Very recently, however, there has been an unhappy exception to this order of things, which is the more to be regretted, as an enterprising and talented gentleman, whose exertions have long been known to the public, underwent great risk and annoyance, as well as heavy personal loss, and his valuable property was entirely destroyed, It ap pears from his own account of the disaster, which is corroborated by an eye-witness, that Mr. COX WELL, the well.known balloonist, was engaged to attend with his balloon at a grand fete of the Fong. ters, held at Leicester on Monday last. The gathering was a very large one, the num• bars present being estimated at 50,000, and great preparations had been made for it, fifteen acres of ground having been temporarily enclosed on the racecourse. The principle of leav ing the mob to control themselves was, however, i carried on this occasion to a most imprudent ex tent, if it be true, as Mr. CoxWELL heard it stated that only eight policemen were engaged to main tain order and protect property in a mob of 5,000 persons. This number was quite insufficient to defeat the machinations of pickpockets, and, as the event unhappily proved, it was totally inadequate to the necessities of the occasion. Mr. Cox YELL, whose name has been so often associated with Mr. GLAISIIER in his recent scientific explorations, and who is among the foremost of our aeronauts, prepared for the ascent of his balloon, which was unfortunately his newest and largest, together with the car used by himself and Mr. GLAISIIER in the scientific ascents. The beginning of the confusion was, that some person, from what motive it is diffi• cult to say, gave it out that it was not Mr. COX WELL'S best balloon whose ascent they were about to witness, but a small one. Of course the crowd could not ascertain the fact from inspection, but an angry feeling manifested itself, and very soon a body of persons broke into the enclosure made for the protection and inflation of the balloon. It was in vain for Mr. COX.WELL to entreat the crowd to give him more space., and for several persons to second his efforts and endeavour to clear the ground, the hoarding having been broken down. The mob pressed on, and wir,Dn at last the balloon was taken out, being necessarily rtmoved into an open space before the ascent was possible, " a sea of clamouring spectators pressed around it, a ll angrily vociferating for an immediate ascent, and refusing to hear or to beiiere that their pressure wa s the obstacle. A certain number of tickets for the ascent had been sold, and the holders of these tickets soon made matters worse by getting into the car in so unceremonious a fashion that all opera tions were stopped. One man, who thus himself was hindering the ascent, excited the mob, and made them believe that the aeronaut was unwilling to make the ascent. This offers no excuse to the people, since they had no reason to suppose a gen tleman of Mr. Cc ',toyed experience and rnF SUN, 'LONDON, TIMISDAY EVENINGS JULY 14, 1864. ability should hesitate to make an ascent which to him was no unusual experiment. Bat the crowd pushed on, until the network was broken and the car eamaged in several places, a bottle being thrown into the balloon itself. Mr. CoxWELL now threatened to let out the gas unless a ring was made, being fearful for the lives of the passengers. The end of the matter was that the aeronaut had to let off the gas, when the mob immediately attacked the balloon, which they entirely destroyed, finally burning it and carrying the remains through the streets. Mr. COXWELL narrowly escaped with his life, and a bystander who attempted to Protect him was knocked down three times. He contrived to take refuge in a neighbouring house, but had it not been for the efforts of a sergeant of police and one or two by standers, Le would scarcely have reached it alive. If this is to be a specimen of English merrymaking, uncontrolled by law, the sooner we adopt tho con tinental system of gendarmerie the better ; but we certainly accept it as a most exceptional case, although, in any case, it is a national disgrace. Oat of 50,000 English men and women how is it that none attempted to interfere and preserve order r Were there not is that assemblage a sufficient num ber of straightforward English working men to make some interposition on Mr CoxWELL'S behalf, and, in the absence of the police, play the part of guardians of law and order P The Foresters' fete at Birmingham last year was unfortunately sig nalised by the death of the poor female acrobat ; but for that accident the company were not, of course, responsible, though considerable heartlessness was shown in keeping up the sports. Bat the Foresters' fete at Leicester has a notoriety of its own, and it has succeeded id making all respectable English men ashamed of the conduct of their countrymen. Mr. COXWELL'S new and expensive balloon has been entirely destroyed, and he has himself been subjected to insult and rough usage because there were not a sufficient number of respectable persons among the 50,000 present to exert themselves in favour of the common decencies of public assemblies. It is conduct like this which justifies those who re fuse to recognise the rights of the people, and exclude them from places of beauty and instruction. Certainly, irour working classes can show no more sense of what is due to science and skill than a sense less demolition of what they do not understand, men of intelligence and learning had better take care for the future to keep themselves and their property out of their reach. Lora SHAFTESBURY is always distinguished for his zeal in the cause of the oppressed and injured, and certainly he has ample reason for complaint in the occurrences of the war now raging between the Danes and Germans. There is constantly some thing occurring of an almost unprecedented charac ter in the way of barbarity, and the general conduct of the invaders is quite at variance with the recog nised principles of civilised nations. His lordship, the other evening, asked Earl RUSSELL whether there was any further information regarding a re port that he had before alluded to, to the effect that the Prussians had massacred some Swedes who were lying on the ground after the battle of Duppel. Lord RUSSELL endea?oured to justi:y the conduct of the accused soldiery, and made a long explana- tion. He said that the Minister for Foreign Affe'„., in Prussia had stated that there was exaggrdration to be in in the number of Swedes that were se;ld the Danish Army, and thus the re port alluded to, was false. This is generally way in which it is sought to extricate those w,ao deserve censure from the consequences of their actions to make the worse appear the better c - aueo. It was not so much the matter whether or not the exact number stated were slain as the principle of the thing. It is not to be espected, of course, that the Prussian Minister should give a very correct or i'aipartial account of the affair, and 1 Earl RUSSELL had better have endeavoured to obtain his information from other sources than from a quarter where prejudice would prevail. Lord SHAFTESBURY, however, is not one to be deterred from his purpose by the empty and insufficient excuses of Ministerial platitudes. He returned to the charge, and read a letter which proved the truth of his former statement, that Swedish soldiers were fired at after the engage ment. This document stated that a lieute nant was serving in the Danish army, and when the Duppel forts were taken, he was defending the retreat of a part of the army, when, being wounded, he fainted. On his recovery he found that he was lying on the ground amid wounded and dead men, and some Prussian soldiers were standing a little distance off. He rose up a little to look around, and on being seen these inhuman men fired at him from a very short distance, and left him for dead. OTTO MORDENFALII had the presence of mind to keep quiet, and was fortunately unharmed by the bullets, although they passed near enough to go through his cloak and coat. He afterwards met a friend, who assisted him to escape under a close pursuit. The writer of this letter states that he has heard many instances of the cruelty of the Prussian troops from his brother, and the harsh manner in which they comport themselves towards the country people. Admiral DAcREs very properly animad verts upon the extraordinary conduct of the Prussians, and says that he has " yet to learn that firing on wounded men, whatever colours they may fight under, is justifiable." Such conduct outrages all our notions of propriety, and stamps a lasting disgrace on the reputation of the German armies. There cannot be the least foundation for any boast they may make as to their skill in fighting in these campaigns, because with such numerical superiority they have all the game in their own hands. The only merit that could attach itself to those com pelled to obey orders and injure the country of a brave nation, would be the fact of their displaying moderation in the carrying out of their designs. Instead of this we hear everywhere the same report that nothing can exceed the cruelty and want of good feeling displayed by the Prussian troops. Nothing can excuse or explain away such conduct ; it is perfectly uncalled for, and it exhibits a bar barity and a contempt for the laws of civilisation that are alike astounding and irritating to witness. Lord DERBY, in speaking on the subject in the House of Lords the other day, observed that he regretted to see that the Prussian army had not improved in tone siuce the time when their cruelty gave so much offence to the Duke of WELLING TON. It is quite fallacious for the Germans to fancy that all this excitement now existing in ',England will blow over, and that when they have ravaged a weak State, and plundered an un-. happy people, they will be able to resume their place in the general estimation of Europe. Loss of cha racter is an irretrievable deprivation, and not in this lightgenerationby y can Prussia ever be regarded in the same those who admire the principles of justice and adhere to the law of liberty. Earl RUSSELL replied,made another inanswer to ofhisridiculoas remarks when he Lord SHAFTESBURY'S state ment, that the Prussian Government had no desire to mitigate the horrors of war, that he did not think that it was intended to carry the order of the day alluded to into effect. The noble Lord said that he had reason to believe that it would not be put in force. He di4 not particularise, but there is no doubt that his reasons were as invalid as his gene ral statements on such subjects. Why should Prince CHARLES FREDERICK issue the order in question if it was to be null and void. It is not usual for such things to occur, and all that has appeared in reports and accounts goes far to verify the belief that the order is now being vigorously observed and acted upon in the spirit and the letter. It decrees that any foreigner made prisoner in the Danish ranks, who is unable to prove his nation , ality or to certify that he is enrolled in the Danish army, is to be dealt with as a brigand, brought before court-martial, and, when convicted, " duly shot." This is not the way in which to conduct a war so as to secure .the respect of the lookers on and to entitle the belligerents to lay claim to rank among civilised nations. 01 the contrary, it would seem that Prussia had resolved to be independent of all recognised principles of the courtesies of war, and to be determined to exhibit indifference to the opinion of all competent judges, and the esteem of right-minded persons. Mr, Charles Kean in Australia, (From the Melbourne Age of May 2.) The farewell night of the Keens is one that must long live in the recollections of the drama loving population of Melbourne. To say that the Hay market Theatre was crowded is but to give a faint notion of the reality. It was crammed, and huma nity packed wherever standing room and a glimpse of the stage could be found. The disappointed crowds that were turned away from every door would have filled the theatre two or three tine e s over. In the dress circle, the spacious passe se b e . hind the boxes was crowded like a pit entr y on boxing night, and Ministers .od men of senatorial rank were happy ou the occasion to have the privilege to 8 : .and side by aide with the most plebeian adrn; - . .. er o f the great artists who were now going to give " a taste of their quality" for the last timPe on our stage. His Excellency the Governor, Lady Darling, and family, attended by Captain ".;'yler, aide-de-camp, and Mr Ward, private secreAary, occupied the vice-regal box. The recap ticea of his Excellency on entering the crowded theatre was most hearty. The play was " Richard the Second," again most splendidly performed. The applause of that brilliant house, and the critical concurrence everywhere uttered, coefirmed the opinion we ventured after the first production of the play—that the Richard of Mr Kean and the Queen of Mrs Kean, are second to no dramatic effort ever witnessed on our stage. The splendid acting of the fourth act, and the heart-rending grief to which Mrs Kean gave utterance in the parting scene brought down not merely thunders of applause, but excited emotion not often manifested by spectators in these undemonstrative days. On the fall of the curtain, Mr. and Mrs. Kean, in responding to a call, received a greeting 'that could hardly have been surpassed by any compliment in kind ever paid to them in the course of their artistic career. Mr. Kean a second time came forward, and when much the applauso was hushed spoke as follows ; -- t i "Ladies m e s t o andbi farewelld gen gentlemen,--Painful em e t n o , friends,P a how more o i las it is at all re painful must it be to Mrs. Kean and, myself on the present occasion when, in all hu:Luin probability, we shall never again visit this portion of the globe. In a few days we shall l:eave the shores of Victoria never to return, ba , we shall have the satisfaction of carrying away - eith us not only the more substantial proofs of ; our favour, but also the grateful remem brance, of the kindness and hospitality that we have r `ctived during our sojourn amongst you. (Cheers.) In years to some when far away, should our lives be spared, my wife and I will field true enjoyment in the contemplation of the wonders which we have witnessed in this new werld, and shall anxiously watch the progress and increasing prosperity of this extraordinary country —a country wherein we have seen so muala to instruct, surprise, and interest us. We shall recall to mind with peculiar gratification the fact of having given utterance to the language of Shakspere sixteen thousand miles from home, in a populous city, built upon a spot which, 30 years ago, was a lonely wilderness. (Cheers.) Allow me to take this opportunity of stating how fortunate I consider myself in having been associated in busi ness during our Australian tour with so upright, truthful, and honourable a man as your old favourite Mr. George Coppin. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Although this night concludes our theatrical engagement in Melbourne, we have been induced, at the request of many persons, to devote two evenings, previous to our departure, to readings from Shakspere and other poets; and I have now the honour to announce to you that these readings will take place at the :Mechanics' Institute on - Wednesday and Thursday week, the 11th and 1211.1 of May. Then, ladies and gentlemen, I may say, in the words of our great national poet— " Whether we shall meet again I know not, Therefore an everlasting farewell take." In passing, we mey note that, in the exquisite elocution, the point, the flue intonation, and the gentlemanly grace of manner of which Mr. Kean spoke these few words, there was as fine a piece of art as any speech he ever uttered, or passion ex pressed as an actor. There were loud and general calls for Mr. Coppin, but that gentlemen, it ap peared, had left the theatre, The exquisite comedy, now so familiar to us all, now, alas, to be seen no more, of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley, in " The Jealous Wife," concluded the brilliant performance of the Kean engagement. As the curtain fell for the last time, the words of Prospero, but with a sorrowing accent, rushed upon the memory: — "Oar revels now are ended: these our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air : And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve ; And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind." May we not appropriately, and with a cordial echo of the public sentiment, cite a good wish for our departing visitorsx on their return home, from the same beautiful poetry :w -,, Calm seas, auspicious gales, And sail so expeditious that shall catch Your royal . 11. g t fai off.' Be free, and fare thou 10111" THE RAPPAHANNOCK.---A letter from Calais states that the Confederate vessel the Rappahannock, at present in that port, lately had a judgment pronounced against her by the Chamber of Commerce of Boulogne, f or commercial debts of tha captain. It appears that when the huissier charged to affix the notice of sale made his appear ance on board the vessel, the captain warned him off with out delay, as no such errand sho uld be performed there. The huissier had nothing also to do but retire and draw u p a proces-verbal of the circumstan ce. hilt. b. H. HAIEs, 2D LIFE G UARDS, in a letter to the illormng Post, Bays Finding that the story which I relate below has gained greater publicity in London than I should ever have imagined, I should feel much obliged if you would allow my version of it to appear in your columns. On Monday ng bt, July 4, I was return ing from Maidenhead to Windsor on horseback. When about half-way I was met by two rough-looking men (on horseback only), who asked me what time it was. I answered that, not having my watch, T c oal not tell them. They then said, 'Oh yes, you have, and we want it.' Upon this, see ing that they ware bent on mischief, and being utterly unarmed (not even a riding - whip in my hand), I put my horse to his best pace, dashed through their comrades on foot (four in number, and armed with pistols and sticks), and kept straight along the high road, and two mounted men following m e, full gallop. Wo went, I suppose, two miles in this way, during which time they twice cape alongside mo but failed in stopping ra y horse, notwithstanding they endeavoured so to do, when I suddenly viewed a public-house, with several men standing before it. I immediately pulled up, and allowed my pursuers to pass on. I here obtained a heavy stick in hopes of meeting my friends again, and arrived is bar racks in duo course--to find that the two rough-looking men were two of my brother officers and their comrades, four others. Their intention, they told me afterwards, was to pull me off my horse, and regularly act the highwayman. This, as will be seen, however, they failed in doing. In conclusion, I can only say that I do not publish this in any spirit of animosity, as, I rejoice to say, I am on the very best terms with all my brother officers; but think it only fair, as I hear the story told in all sorts of different ways, that there should be an autheutiQ twoouAt given." LATEST INEELLIGENCE4 LEEUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE KEARSARGE AND THE FLORIDA, SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 14. The steamer Wonder, arrived this morning from the Channel Islands, reports that the steamers Kearsarge and Florida had an engagement on Jersey yesterday, in which the Kearsarge was disabled and put into Grey. The Florida was brought up off Gorey waiting to renew the engage ment. AMERICA. (Per the North America, via Greencastle, July 13,) NEW YORK, JULY 1. There is no news from either of the armies. Grant has made no further attempt to turn the Confederate position at Petersburg since his defeat on the 22d. The term of service of many of his veteran regi ments expires from day to day, and the soldiers exhibit no disposition to reenter the ranks. The Administration journals insist that he must be heavily reinforced before he again ventures to advance. Much anxiety is felt for the safety of Sherman, Many of his supply trains have been captured, and the Confederate force in his rear is steadily aug- menting. Sherman's loss during his present campaign is estimated at nearly 20,000 men. Secretary Chase has resigned, and Mr. Lincoln has nominated as his successor ex-Governor Todd, of Ohio, who having declined the appointment, Senator Fessenden, of Maine, was appointed, and confirmed by the Senate. Gold opened at 250, rose to 282, but declined to 260 on Mr. Fessenden's confirmation, and to 230 on the repeal of the Gold Bill by the Senate. NEW YORK, JULY 2 (Morning). Wilson's cavalry has destroyed 20 miles of the Danville Railroad. On their return on Monday night (27th ult.) they were intercepted by the Con federates at Beam's Station on the Weldon and Petersburg Railroad. Wi:son fought all night and the following morning, but was unable to push his way through. Meade sent the 6th Corps, with a division of the 2d Corps, to the assistance of Wilson. On Tuesday the Confederates were moving in the direction of the rear of Grant's left. The Bavaria had arrived out. SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 13.

BERLIN, luL/ 14: The Ministerial Provinzial Correspondenz of to• day, referring to the recent change in the Danish nistry, says : "It appears certain that this change i 3 intended to preserve Denmark from further losses by at last entering upon a path leading to peace. It tray be presumed that the German Powers will meet any earnestly meant peace policy of the Danish Govern ment by every means in their power. But peace is no longer to be obtained by Denmark except by her giving up the whole of Schleswig-Holstein and and recognising its independence. An armistice can also only be agreed to when an acceptable basis for peace negcciations has ber..n•offered." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 13 (Evening).

Last night their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Frill- cese of Wales were entertained by the Duke of Baccleuch, as President of the Horticultural Society, at nne of those beautiful conservatory soirees which attracted such deserved admiration when the first was given a few weeks ego. Great pains were taken on this occasion to make the gar dens look as beautiful as circumstances would allow, and it is only fair to say that, night favouring the delusion, they were made to wear an aspect which was really strikingly effective. The new orchard houses were just sufficiently lit to show the perfection to which the fruit trees have been brought in a short time in these most attractive new entrances. The arcades, as ornaments to the grounds, which they hare now really become, were fully illuminated, and though there was less of horticul ture inpthe way of little nooks of flowers and ferns such as were so conspicuously beautiful on the last occasion, still they were amply decorated with vases, and statues, and thtt Teraains of the show of flower-holders, which enabled some handsome ranges of ornaments to be exhibited. The. little band •houses iu the grounds, the promenade in front the conservatory, and the first row of terraces were well lighted, and, if it is fair to ray so, it only required the addi tion of coloured lamps to bring forcibly to mind the later of that once famous "royal property" which is now being built upon at Vauxhall. With the conservatory, which, as the reception room of the evening, was made the great centre of decoration and attraction, it was impossible for the most fastidious to find fault. The decorations were, of course, only flowers hang ing in massive wreaths and tendrils covered with bloom from baskets suspended from the middle of the light arches of the building, and made to fill up with a continuous line of flower and foliage the side galleries which overlooked the central hall. It is almost needless to say that none of these were artificial, but were simply the best specimens which the grounds in Chiswick could afford of splendid flowers pressed into temporary service on this occasion to aid the effect of the fine standard plants which make this conserva• tory one of the prettiest and best kept, certainly in London, if not in England. Every part of this conservatory was bril. liantly lighted up, though not fully till the royal visitors arrived, when the jets, minute in size, but in such numbers as to shed more than the light of day, were turned on fully, and brought out in the most glowing beauty every detail of the variegated foliage and flowers which filled the building. Ail visitors honoured with invitations were requested to be in their places before half-past 10, the hour at which it was stated their Royal Highnesses would arrive. The Prince and Princess, however, did not come till after 11, by which time every part of the conservatory was filled with one of the most distinguished assemblages which even South Kensington has ever drawn together. Their Royal flieuaesses were received at the entrance by the Duke of Buccieuch, Earl Granville, Sir IV. Dilke, Mr Cole, &o. The Royal visitors proceeded at once into the conservatory, the Duke of Buccleuch conducting the Prin. cess, followed by the Prince with the Duchess of Buccleuch. All the Royal party were in plain evening costume, her Royal Highness wearing halt mourning, with a very simple wreath of flowers in her hair—just, in fact, in such a dress as the most pOpular of her likenesses have made us familiar with. No stay was made in the conservatory on their arrival, and the party simply passed through, amid the pro found reverences of the visitors, to partake of refreshment in the gallery, where an extemporised salle. a-manger had been fitted up and beautifully decorated with flowers for the occas on. At 12 o'clock the Royal guests returned, and passed down the arcades, where the Princess made a care ful inspection of the flower vases and porcelain flower holders sen.t by Mr Minton, and went regularly through the best of the collection which had been exhibited on that day. Re turning to the conservatory, their Royal Highnesses passed down the centre walk to a t-nt, where they witnessed an illumination by means of Bengal lights of the little cascade which flows from under the base of the Prince Consort's Memorial. The effect of this was pretty for its diminutive size, but it would be absurd to give the feeble attempt higher praise. It was impossible for many present to avoid remem bering that the last cascade which the Prince of Wales saw illuminated was Niagara, when the Canadians went to such an enormous cost, and laid their plans so well, that for the first time man's agency did succeed in influencing the ma jesty of that eternal catract, and lit it up till it came thun dering down like an avalanche of fire. The attempt of last night suggested no comparison, of course, though it did suggest to many that the Horticultural Society might have been more happy in their efforts to astonish their Royal visitors--might have shown them flowers, for instance. The illumination of the cascade over, their Royal High nesses returned to the conservatory, in the locality of which they beheld something which it is really difficult to witness elsewhere. The Prince and Princess quitted the grounds at, about 1 o'clock, but notwithstanding the etiquette usual on such occasions, very many of the visitors had taken their departure previously. The Murder on the North London Railway Ths excitement created by this murder is growing daily more and more intense. The railway company has offered £lOO reward for the capture of the murderers, in addition to the £2OO off Bred by the Government and Messrs Robartes, Lubbock, and Co. Fresh bills were circulated yesterda: giving a description of the person who changed the chain belonging to the late Mr Brigs, and also of the chain and Signet ring which he took away with him. The police believe that the man is already known to them, and they era fol- Lowing him up with gust perseverance. The man is described in the police bill as being about 30 years old, 5 feet G or 7 _ _ _ inches high, with a sallow complexion and thin features. Jtie is a foreigner, and is supposed to be a German, but speaks good English. lie wore a black frock coat and waistcoat, dark trousers, and a black hat. The chain which he carried - away is a square oval, se cret link, gold Albert, with a knot pattern twisted key, and a swivel seal. The ring is a plaia gold signet ring with en oblong white cornelian stone, bearing an engraved head, The following is the history of the discovery of the chain —On Monday morning about 10, a gentlemanly looking foreigner, apparently a German; or Swiss, entered the shop of Mr Death, jeweller, 55, Cheapside, and asked to be shown some gold Albert chains. Mr Death's brother showed him several, and he at last picked out one of the value of £3 15s, which he seemed to fancy. At the same time he took appa rently from his waistcoat pocket a chain, and asked Mr Death what he would give him for it, Mr Death examined it, and found it to be lined° of 15 carat gold. He put it in the scales and weighed it, and told the man that its value wile £3 10s. The man then said he would take in exchange a chain of the same cost. Mr Death took one from the win dow, which was worth £3 Ps., and showed it to the man, who said that it would suit him very well, asking what he could ha‘'ee to make up the other Ps. Mr Deiver showed him several second-hand signet rings, from among which he selected the one already described, and tried it on his finger, leaving it there. The chain was packed in a paper box and delivered to him, and he quitted the shop imme diately afterwards. At the time the man called upon him Mr Death had heard nothing of the murder, but on subse quently reading the description of the missing chain in the newspapers he was particularly struck by its closely coin ciding with that of the chain he had taken, in exchange, the circumstances of the missing hook confirming his suspicions. He immediately communicated with the authoriaes at Great Scotland-yard and at Bow lane Police-station, and Inspector Kerreesey at once proceeded to Cheapside and took possession of the chain. He then took it to the daughter of the deceased gentleman, who unhesitatingly identified it as having belonged to her father. Inspector Kerressey immediately made a report on the subject to Sir Richard Mayne, and exertions are being made in ail directions to discover the person who exchanged the chain. The police are cenfileht that they are on his track, and that a very short time will elapse before he is captured. There now appears to be some reason for supposing that a second person, already known to the police, was implicated in the murder. This person is also being closely followed up. Mr T. H. Walker, the manufacturer of the hat found in the carriage, has been interrogated by the police, but he can give no clue whatever to the person to whom it was sold. The incident of the changing of the chain somewhat com plicates the matter. The man who called on Mr Death may, of course, only be a confederate of the murderer. He seemed perfectly collected in his manner during the transaction, but it was noticed that he endeavoured to keep his counte nance concealed from the person who was serving him. No watch was shown by him at the time, end from the ease with which he withdrew the chain from his pocket it did not seem to be attached to one. He also seemed specially careful to a void appearing as if he entered the shop for dis honest purposes, moving away from the counter when the shopman did so, and he objected to purchase any chain of greater value than the one he left in exchange. A close ex amination of the chain with a magnifying glass failed to de tect the elightest, trace of blood upon it, and from the dirt caused by wear being still adhered to the links it did not seem to have been washed. The chain and watch must therefore have been wrenched from ties person of the de ceesed before any blood was shed. The encounter which fol lowed was probably caused by the endeavours of the de ceased to secure too thief. The discovery of the chain also seems to do - away with the somewhat prevalent theory that the outrage was not committed for the sake of plunder. It has been said that the murderer left behind the diamond ring worn by the deceased,. but it should be remembered that it re no easy matter to wrench off a well lining ring from the finger of a man who struggled for life so bravely as the de ceased gentleman appears to have done. Again, the fact of exchanging the chain for another, instead of selling it in the usual manner, seems hardly to point to the professional thief, and the ring chosen b y the man bears a head of v e ry peculiar character whi c h wou ld render its identitica tion easy, All these circumstances teed to make this ex traordinary case still there mysterious, and a plentiful crol , of fresh theories to account for the murder has sprung up, one of which may be mentioned from its singularity— that the outrage was perpetrated by a m aniac ' A rumour was prevalent yesterday that a foreigner living in Somers -town had been apprehended on suspicion, but there is not a word of truth in the statement.

Address of Polish Priests to the Popes ROME, July 6 . Several Polish priests who have taken p a rt in the revolution have succeeded in passing the Russia ° frontier and in reaching Remo. The fugitives have been kindly received by the Pope, and allowe d to take up their abode in the Convent of the Trinity for Pilgrims. Upon the fete of St. Paul these nay fortunate ecclesiastics, some of whom had been COP demned to death by the Russian Government, we re presented to the Pope, when one of their n umber , the Abbe Polkawski, read the following address"' "Most Holy Father,—We, ecclesiastics of th e Polish Church, expelled from onr country and be ad pitably received by your bounty, present onrselve° before your Holiness with tears in our eyes and, e t the same time, joy in our hearts, We weep for th e ruin of our country, and we rejoice to find ourselves in your presence, who have greeted the children O f that unhappy nation and Church with truly Pat er ' nel love. Further, we have every confidence that , by means of your Holiness, mourning will be turne d into joy, and the great ruin of Poland convert ed , into prosperity, for whatever is bound on earth shi ll ' also be bound in heaven, and whatever is loosed e ° earth shall also be loosed in heaven. So that if you are with us, acho shall be against us ? If you bless i Poland, who shall dare to curse her ? Who dare to tempt his fate ? "Accept, therefore, most Holy Father, oat infinite thanks both for the good you have deigne d o do us, and for the far greater benefit you inte nd to confer upon us and our nation. Receive in esp eeie the thanks of our faithful people ; receive its prayers and its tears, of which we have been th e witnesses.

The Pope replied to this address with a se° rt speech. His Holiness said, " The words cause distress in which you have shown to me the gre ° o danger of the Polish nation. We must persevere in the same sentiments, and pray God to cause th storm to cease.
