ONEr MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market to-day has presented a quiescent appearance, and the rates have continued to range fully I per cent. below the minimum of the Bank of England. It is generally thought that afflirs next week will become much easier, owing to the payment of the dividends and the moderate demand for accommodation. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. About 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for transm!ssion to the Brazils. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £408,290, and the exports to £433,579. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 661'. 05c. Openin g fiat. Early in the day the Funds improved k per cent., but this led to sales, and very unfavourable views were expressed with regard to the proceedings in Parliament and the prospect of a continuance, at least for a time, of an unsatisfactory foreign policy. All the markets have closed with a gloomy aspect, and Consols, after being 907,1 for money and 90E-' for account, are now only 901 f, and 901 8 respec tively. But for the plentiful supplies of floating capital, and other encouraging circumstances, specu lators would no doubt be inclined to operate for a fall. The New Threes are marked at 894 ; and the Reduced Annuities 891. a ; India 5 per Cents., 104k7. There is less firmness in the Foreign Stock Market, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 681 691; ditto Consolides, 494 50 ; Mexican, 28* ; Greek, 24 1 ; Spanish Passive 29 1 ; Portuguese, 47i 48 ; Russian, 87 1 I; and the C on f e d erate L oan, 691 701. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and the variations in prices have been of an unimportant character. North Western : have improved 10s, and Metropolitan £1 lOs ; while Great Eastern have declined 4 f and Great Western,l. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain at about former rates, Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, but in most instances maintained previous quotations. Ebbw Vale Company Shares are,quoted 1 & prem.; Societe Generale de L'Empire Ottoman, 2i 3-4- prem. ; and Chamounix United Hotel Shares, 11 prem. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, THAMES. Trft WOMAN WHO ItO3;;HETOOR —Mary Ann Santry, a vulgar and dissipated woman, aged 23, and lately dwell ing at 4, Sun and Sawyer's-court, Poplar, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two pairs of boots from the apartment of a poor woman named Mary Magrath, of Vail .passage, Broad-street, Ratcliff, and one pair of boots from the room of another poor woman named Ann Rally, in the same locality. The prisoner was described by George Pullin, No. 10 K, as a very mischievous thief, who prowled about very poor neighbourhoods early in the morning, and sneaked into rooms, carrying off anything she could lay her hands on The value of the property was trifling, but a serious loss to. the poor creatures she had robbed. On the morning of the 21st of June, the dwellings of the parties abovenamed were entered, and the boots stolen. In one case the boots stolen were worth 35., and the woman said her child had only worn them one day, the previous Sunday, and her poor husband was a coal whipper, whose labour was hard and earnings scanty. In the other case two pairs of children's boots were stolen, and they had been under the necessity of going without since. Pullen found the three pairs of boots at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner had raised money on them and spent it on gin and beer. Her love for strong drinks was proverbial, and she was known by the inelegant cognomen of "Lushy Poll." She was seen in the imme ciate vicinity of the two places the boots were stolen from on the morning of the 21st of June. The prisoner, in a whining tone, said, " Pray be merciful, sir, I am a poor lone woman, I am guilty." Mr Paget said the prisoner deserved no mercy at all. She had committed very cruel robberies—both robberies were very heartless and cruel. He sentenced her to be impri soned for six months' in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. LE CXY FELLOWS—A VISIT TO THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS or WALES.—Threo well known and active thieves named Thomas Jones, aged 23, Honry Archer, 17, and John Webb, 19, wore brought up on remand before Mr Paget, charged with felony. On Monday afternoon last, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the London Hospital, the prisoners were at the corner of the New-road and Whitechapel•road, and were busy at wo, k among the pockets of the well dressed. A very respectable and intelligent woman, named Mary Ann Smith, the wife of William Smith, a butcher, saw the prisoners dive unsuccessfully into the pockets of several persons. At last two of them stood in front of a lady while Archer put his hand into her pocket and drew something out, which he at once handed to Jones. A rush, a push and a shout was the next ruse of the three thieves, who were closely watched by Mrs. Smith. She gave information to the police, and the prisoners were taken into custody. They made a desperate resistance, and kicked and plunged violently. The constables on duty under Superintendent Howie, of the K division, were too numerous and active to allow suoh villains to escape, and they were soon locked up. Joseph Skeats, No, 428 K, said each prisoner had a hole in his left-hand coat pocket, through which they " worked " ender cover. He had been unable to find the lady who was robbed. John Clark, 491 K, said that Jones was committed for trial some time ago for felony, convicted and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, Jones—That's a lie, I can prove it to be false. It's a regular lie, I was only paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales on Monday last. Mr Paget had no doubt the prisoners has robbed a lady, but as she was not forthcoming, the prisoners must be dis charged. The prisoners (uses voce)—We are luck) , fellows. Good morning, DINING HALLS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.- The following noblemen and gentlemen have be come patrons of the association just formed, for the purpose of establishing cheap dining depots (on the plan of the Surrey Cooking Depot), throughout the metropolis :—The Right Hon. the Lord Brougham and Valli, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lard Lyttleton, F,R.S., Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., M.P., Mr Alderman Waterlow, W. Blanchard Jerrold, Esq., George Godwin, Esq., W. Hawes, Esq., Chairman of the Council of the Society of Arts. AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL.—A curious family lawsuit has just been settled at Paris. One Senor Jose Joachim da Gams Machado, gentleman of the bed- chamber to the King of Portugal, and an attorney in wait ing to the Portuguese Embassy, finding himself about to die, made a will, and then was so long before he really " gave up the ghost" that he added 71 codicils to the ori ginal instrument. Having signed the 71st, he really did die in the summer of 1861, and from then till now his estate hos been food for lawyers. Many of the codicils were strange, For instance :—" I leave to the Athenaeum of Paris 10,000 f., the interest of which at 5 per cent. will be 500 f, Half of this interest to be paid to a professor of natural history, who shall lecture on the influence of colours and patterns of dresses on the character of animals." Again :—" My funeral shall take place at three p.m, the hour when the rooks of the Louvre come home to dinner," The Portuguese attaché was devoted to tame birds, and ho desired that many stuffed specimens should be placed in his coffin—that his servant should carry to the ceremony "one of my favourite birds in his cage"— that certain birds should be let loose in the Bois de Boulogne on the day of his funeral; also that his horses should follow the procession, but not draw any carriage. There was another droll codicil :—" May 26, 1859.—8 ad weather, and I can't get out; so I will do a little good. I leave M. do Chevalier 10,000 f and I increase the annual pension of my servants I,ooof a head." Senor Machado had during his life erected hie own tomb, on which were engraved a sun, a bird, an ox, a dog, an egg " proper" sur mounting them. Beneath was inscribed, "Here reposes the author of the Theory of Likeness.' " This was one of his crotchets. "He was born a stammerer and short sighted, and he died blind. Passer-by, admire the bounty of nature." The heir-at-law'disputed the validity of the will, but the law has decided that the deceased was only vain, not insane, and therefore had a right to will away his own property, which it was proved he had managed with excessive caution during his life. THE ALLEGED MASSACRE OF FOUR HUNDRED SWEDES IN ALSEN. —borne of the journals re cently mentioned that among the prisoners made on the island of Alsen were 100 Swedes who were all put to death. The statement is now contradicted : " There are, indeed, among the prisoners," says a Berlin letter, "some soldiers who have net taken oath to Ring Christian IX., and some officers who could not produce a Danish commission ; but the Prussian authorities have thus far not applied military law to them." Prince Frederick Charles has announced in an order of the day of the 3d, that in future in such cases the soldiers will be tried by a military court,—Galignani, At the first meeting of the present council of the Society of Arts since their election, Mr. William Hawes, vice-president, was unanimously re-elected chairman for the current year. DEATH FROM HiDROFHOBIA4—On Thursday Thomas Mortis, a Liverpool dock gateman, died from hydrophobia. About six months ago a police offic3r re leased a litt):d poodle dog from the Canning graving dock, and took it to the gateman's hut. Shortly afterwards Morris went into the hut, and was patting the the dog on the head when it growled and snapped at him, biting him slightly on the hand. He thought no more of the matter, and continued at his work until Tuesday last, when his arm began, to swell. The usual symptoma soon came on, and th.cugh Morris had the attendance of several eminent medical men he died on Thursday morning, after suffer ing great agony. A Russian merchant, M. Sidorow, who has ac• quired an enormous fortune at Siberia, has given the sum of 120,000 roubles and the produce of a vast auri ferous territory towards the foundation of a university at Tobosk. A Russian journal which seemed to throw some doubts upon the realisation of his scheme only produced the effect of making him send another sum of 20,000 roubles and two huge gold nuggets to the government towards the furtherance of the plan. There is no reason why, with this enormous sum and the 50,000 roubles contributed for the some object by M. Demidoff in 1803 (a sum which, un touched since, has now increased to 75,000 roubles), a Tobolsk university should not in reality be founded soon. —The Brader, CriEvzit SPlDERS.—Spiders can do more than they havQ yet received credit for. An observer, of whose accuracy no one who knows him will entertain a doubt, told me that he once saw a garden spider busy stretching his Tine from one shrub or bush to another. The wind being anther strong, the line oscillated more than the spider ap proved, and he accordingly steadied it to the ground by I threads which he attached between it and small pebbles tying beneath it on the earth. This looks very like the , sagacity and shiftiness which, in man, is called intelligence. The tent of Clotho Durandii deserves special mention among the specimens exemplifying the ingenuity of spiders. This tent is formed at first of two sheets of the finest taffeta, to which the spider adds additional coverings when hatch 'Mg her eggs. The outside sheet is soiled to conceal th, tent; the inside is white, clean, downy, and warm. When compelled to leave her tent in search of food, the spider fastens the outside sheets with.fastenings of which she alone possesses the secret.—.

TEE BOMBAY MAIL, By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have papers from Bombay to June 8, and from Calcutta to May 31 . The following is from the Times of _lndia ; " The headquarters of the Bombay Government and army are still at Mtthableshwar. The Viceroy and Governor-General is at Simla. " The resignation of the chief command of the army by Sir Hugh Rose, and the appointment of Sir William Mansfield as his successor, are stated as coming events near at hand. " Affghanistan is now plunged into civil war. Auzim Khan has lost his game. Almost the whole of his force deserted him on the eve of an engage ment with the Ameer's troops under Ruffeeh Khan, who completely routed the remainder of his force. The A meer has marched on Balkh to attack Afzul Khan, with every prospect of success. "An eastern frontier brigade has been formed, comprising such troops as may be stationed in Assam, the Cossyab, and Jynteah Hills, and Sylhet ; and the Bhootiahs, and other eastern frontier peoples and tribes, are hen chforth to be dealt with as the Punjaub Government, by means of the Pun jaab Field Force, deals with the Euzufzyes, illomunds, and similar tribes. c , The tract of land situated at the foot of the Bhootan Hills, called Arabarree Fallacootab, is to be immediately annexed to the British territories. The sum of 10,000 ra , hitherto paid as a subsidy to the Bhootiahs on the frontier of Assam, has been ordered to be discontinued. The Bilootiahs are to bt, hemmed in by posts established along our fron tier, the garrisons of which are to prevent supplies of any kind reaching Bhootan from British India. These measures will soon humble the Bhootiahs, as the Hill States depend on our territories for most of their supplies.

The front is ornamented with a fine bas relief in oxodised silver, representing Henry 111. i rescued by his son Prince Edward at the battle of Eves ham; the handles are formed of genii Yaounted on grotesque dragons, and the whole is surmounted with a figure of Fame. Nothing can be more beautiful than the execution of the cup, and the fortunate winner may congratulate himself on being the possessor of one of the finest specimens of art in the precious metal ever produced. The " Stamford Cup" and the " Welter Cup" are each as elegant and tasteful as the Stewards' Cup, though, of course, of less intrinsic value. The former is a cup and cover, partly gilt, of novel form; and the latter a mediaeval shaped silver tazz 1, with open worked handles, from the antique, with a cover mounted by a fine group of horses. The workmanship of the whole is superb ; and another circumstance for which Mr Hancoek is much commended is, that in each instance he has produced a work of both utility and beauty, in opposition to the senseless and useless groups generally manufactured, and ridiculously enough denominated racing " cups." Female Orphan Asylum. A quarterly court of the guardians of this charity was held on Thursday at the Female Orphan. Asylum, West minster-road, for the purpose of confirming the resolution of a special committee, recommending the removal of this institution to Beddington Park. Th. Rev. J. Lingham, 11.

The recommenda tion of the com smitietste,s they was considered th to the effect that, most after eligibb hating inspected several to be a large man sion, with 22 acres of land, at Bed li ngton Park, which e could be purchased for £15,000. Eight acres might be re sold, leaving ample space for all the rurposes of the asylum. The necessary alterations cotad be nude, so as to accommo date 200 children, for about £6,OGLI - the motion of the Chairman the general minutes were confirmed. The Rev. H. Mackenzie was elected a life governor, hav ing preached the last anniversary E amon. The consideration of the report will reference to the amendment of the bye-laws was pcstponed for the present. The report of the special committee on the duties anti salaries of the secretary was then next brought pp. It stated that the salary at present paid the secretary is inadequate to the duties performed, and ought to be increased, but inasmuch as the proposed removal of the hospital involved several alterations, the consideration of the duties and remuneration had better be deferred midi the subject of rbmoval and its various contingencies were finally settled. The previous secretary at each triennial dinner was presented with £5O, but this had not been done during Mr. Booth's period of office, and the committee therefore recommended the payment of £2OO to Mr. Booth. This recommendation west unanimously agreed to. Mr. CLARKE then moved That the Female Orphan Asylum has been established upwards of a century in the metropolis, and that the health of the inmates has been uniformly good ; that the institution—by reason not only of its intrinsic claims on sympathy, but from its obvious prominence in London—has gained largely acoutnlated pt w i on i p i n l u i b af e rr cen from n d t a or n ob g ls— e e r r e nv d net; si on e d wd , a i li su a t c ha militatenyc funds and continuous support, w hi c h su pport by remova l removal t of the institu hosgnagiensntf t r h ea e so s n it a e b i le s u n desirable, and should n o t b e procee d e d w ith, un l ess au thorisedmajority of the guardians." the motion, which was negatived b yßr.

There was a very large gathering of the friends and sup porters of the regiment on the ground, including a consider able number of ladies At the e ntrance gate to the quar ters the cadet corps of the Lo ndon Rifle Brigade were stationed as a guard of honour, and wh e n th e i ns pecting officer arrived he kin dl y told them _ ,u that they were a eel adl force and their own dierlike lot of lads , The regim ent was put through the of usual battalion evolutio ng, all Which were performed with the greatest credi t, the marching, wheeling, and firing being particularly good. A evo all those living in town the conclusion of the drill, Colonel M'Murdo briefly addressed the men respecting efficiency. He specially dweltunteer upon th e fact that, to render ought theu gvolunteers present t o r eassidv state ealwu iatb o hl f ien a t has possible, certain r adius of their particular regiments.

They were in an excellent condition of drill. He only wished they wore more numerous. Colonel M'Murdo concluded by clP r P ai rig his wish that they would wear the 0 efficienc y badge." He had been told that, as the badge was of silver and their facings were of gold, there was some difficulty felt ; but nevertheless he ad vised them to wear it. It was said that the badge was very "ugly" and therefore there was au objection to it. He, with the sanction of the Secretary of State for War, ap proved of its being ugly, because then it was more con spicuous He hoped that, whether ugly or pretty, Earl de Grey and Ripon would not alter it,,but insist upon all corps wearing the same, The regiment gave three hearty cheers for the inspecting officer, and three for Colonel Macdonald. After the inspection the regiment took supper together in their drill-shed, their commanding Officer presiding, Mr. Doulton, M.P. for Lamboth, being also present, Colonel M'Murdo was prevented from accepting an invitation. DEATH FROM A WAGER. — A r e:tierday morning, Wyo. Harvey, a compositor, living in Granby street, Waterloo. road, undertook, for a wager of £l, to swim across the Thames from Millbank to Lambeth within 12 minutes, and got in the water for that purpose at eight o'clock. The unfortunate man reached about 200 feet from the shore, when he gave a loud shriek and instantly sank. The party with whom he made the wager were hastening over the bridge to meet him on the opposite shore, and could render him no assistance.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT ` ‘ ,IIOITSE OP LORDS—Zast Evening, The LORD CH4NCEILOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. There was a very large attendance of ladies present this evening in the galleries around the house, and the space before the throne was well filled. All the ministers were in :their seats, but that ..usually occupied by the Earl of Derby on the opposite side of the house was vacant, owing to the indisposition of the noble earl. Just as the Earl of Malmesbury commenced his speech the Prince and Princess of Wrdes entered the house. The Prince took his accustomed scat on the cross bench, and the Princess occupied a place in the gallery on the left of the throne. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Wensurn Valley Railway—Pembroke and Tenty Railway —Belfast Improvement—Somerset and Dorset Railway_ London and Blackwall Railway---Llanelly Railway and Docks (No. 2 )—Tottenham 'and Hampstead Junction Rail way—Aylesbury and Buckingham Railway. BARBARITIES BY THE PRUSSIANS. Earl RUSSELL, in reference to a question put to him the other evening by the Earl of Shaftesbury, relative to the alleged bayonetting of 400 wounded Swedish volunteers by the Prussians, said he had received a telegram from her Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen and another from her Majesty's Ambassador at Berlin, and the elect of those communications was that there was no truth whatever in the reports circulated. THE VOTE OF CENSURE-DEI•TMARK AND GERMANY. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved with reference to the Conference, that it is the opinion of this house that while the c iurse pursued by her Majesty's Government has failed to maintain their avowed policy of upholding the integrity and independence of Denmark, it has lowered the just influence of this country in the councils of Europe, and thereby diminished the securities for peace. He regretted the absence of a most distinguished member of their lordships' house, because by that circumstance it became his duty to move file resolution now before their lordships, which he felt certain would have been done with greater effect by his noble friend. He would commence his observations with taking notice of a circumstance which had occurred in another place, viz., that it had been stated that the noble earl (Russell) had only carried on the negotiations on the subject of Schleswig-Holst e i n in con currence with the opinions contained in a number of despatches written by him (Earl Malmesbury) when he had the honour to hold the seals of the Foreign Office. All he could say was that if that correspondence was in existence he thought it nothing but right that Parliament should be made acquainted with it, and that copies of it should be laid upon the table of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) The subject he was about to bring under the attention of their lordships was one of the greatest importance, and he had to ask their forbearance while he addressed them, but he would endeavour to compress his observations into the narrowest limits. Referring to the question as to what was the Conservative policy, he said it was difficult for them to define what they would do, when it was impossible to say in what cir cumstances they would be placed. He might with just as much fairness ask another question, and that was, What would the present Government do if they were in opposition ? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be quite as fair. (Laughter.) He would tell what they would do— they would endeavour to turn their opponents out as soon as possible. (Laughter) He did not say that it would be wise now to go to war ; but he was prepared to say that there was a moment when, if the Government had taken a strong tone and made a strong stand war would have been avoided. (Hear, hear.) That was not his opinion alone. He had heard such opinions by Germans, and they, it would at once be admitted, were competent judges; and he trusted before he sat down he should be able to prove that such was the case. He was prepared to show that the Govern ment had brought about this state of things by their own faults. (Hear.) All municipal differences in Schleswig and Holstein were totally and distinctly marked off from international questions. With the municipal questions foreign Governments had nothing to do. It was with the international questions that interference should be justified. That distinction the Government had failed to keep in view. All through the question the noble earl (Russell) acted too much as a partizan; he had failed to keep himself independent, and thus he had cut the ground from under his feet—(Hear, hear)—all the ground that would have enabled him to be looked upon as a fit statesman to arbitrate upon the difference between the parties. One instance of his conduct was shown on the 29th of April, 1861, when the noble lord proposed to Denmark a new constitution for itself in connection with the Duchies. The next point he touched upon was the statement made by Lord Palmerston, when he said that if certain events came to pass Denmark should not stand alone. There was only one interpretation to be put upon that. It meant that if Denmark were molested, England would stand at her side—(hear, hear)—and, of course, defend her. (Hear, hear.) There could be no other construction put upon such a declaration. lie believed he should be asked, what policy the Opposition were prepared to adopt—but that question was both monstrous and unfair. The Opposition had no access to information with regard to the means which had been at the disposal of the Government for carrying on a war, the state of the relations of the country with other powers, and other matters which were exclu sively in the cognisance of Ministers, who were responsible for the conduct and policy they had pursued. There had been two courses open to the Government. Whilst the Danish army was still unbroken they ought either to have joined with Sweden and assisted in placing 100,000 men on the Eider, in which case not a German soldier would have attempted to cross that river—or ',they might have frankly warned Denmark that whatever was the result of their diplbmatic efforts they could not give her material aid—but it was clear that up to a very recent period Ministers could not make up their minds whether they would assist Denmark or not, and to that uncertainty and hesitation was to be attributed the failure of their diplomacy, the downfal of their influence, and the undignified position in which they now found themselves. Vigorous action in the first instance might have averted the war; but so indecisive had been the policy of the Government that :they had not only not displayed vigour, but had so involved the country that it could only avoid war by a tardy and an unworthy retreat. Reviewing the correspondence of the Foreign Office, and the oral de clarations of Lord Palmerston, the nob:0 earl contended that they had encouraged Denmark with hopes which were doomed to disappointment, and irritated the German Powers with empty threats, He concluded by contrasting the un embarrassed position of France and Russia in reference to both belligerents with the baffled policy of the Cabinet, and the undignified situation in which the country had in con sequence been placed. The motion was opposed by the Duke of ARGYLL, who spoke at considerable length in defence of the Ministerial policy, Lord BROUGHAM said that he had attentively studied the correspondence, and had come to the conclusion that the Government had not menaced Germany. He felt that they could not have stood silently by and seen the Danes over whelmed without remonstrance and protest. At the same time it could not be expected that England should take up their cause single-handed against one •third of continental Europe. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE agreed with the Earl of Malmesbury that it was the weakness and vacillation of the policy pursued by the Government that had brought on the war, placed this country in its present unpleasant position, and almost swept Denmark from the map of Europe. Whilst, however, he was of opinion that the Government had deplorably mismanaged affairs, he could not concur in the terms of the motion, which not only did not set forth the real facts of the case, but pronounced an opinion which the house ought not to place on its journals. He did not believe that the influence of England had been lowered. For that influence rested upon hes power, and her power was nor"' greater than at this moment. He moved as an amendment, to omit the latter proposition in the motion and insert in lieu. thereof the words--" That this house regrets that Denmark was allowed to expect from the English Gevernment ,mate tial aid in support of the objects of the treaty a 1852. ' The Earl of CLARENDON had not shared the respon. a nd in ths they wou ld have sibility of the Government during the most "Live part of the negociations, but in his opinion from the outset Mini sters had exhibited both foresigh t and appreciation of t he gravity of affairs.

A war between England and Germany would have extended to Italy and the Danubian Principalities, to Poland and Turkey. No wise statesman would have in cured the responsibility of kindling a European conflagra tion for the sake of Denmark, with France and Russia not indifferent, bnt waiting on the course of events. After France and Russia had slunk away from their engagements no impartial Englishmen could blame the Government because their honest efforts had failed, and that not through any fault of their own. Much as he loved peace he loved honour more, and it he did not believe that peace was con sistent with the honour as well as the interest of the country, he would have been the first to couns el war, although he . had far less means of interfering with effect than the powers who had declined to do so. He insisted that not crate- had Ministers warned Denmark that they would not give her material aid, but they had done their utmost to. convince her that she was labouring under a delusion in supposing that the sympathies of the n glish.people would compel there to go to her rescue. Although p the Government had failed in their chief object in the conference, they had re duced the question in dispute to one of frontier, in which a few leagues of territory only Was concerned ; and they had MAILS DUE. tkustv, :la and Mauritius, via Southampton , .
