against Viscount Ranelagh and Mr.Ronane was preferred under the circumstances therein de ailed, and that the charge ended in the dismissal of the complaint, owing to the conflicting evidence adduced on the occasion. His Lordship and the other defendant, however, from a strong feeling that the police-sergeant Carpenter had exceeded his duty, and that he and his friend had been most grossly assaulted by police-sergeant Price belong ing to the South-Eastern Railway Company, and William Widdows, one of the porters, declared their in tention of complaining to the Police Commissioners of the conduct of Carpenter. Mr. Mallalien, the superin tendent of the R division of police, having taken upon himself to bring the matter before the Court, so far as e Carpenter was concerned, it was arra n g ed that all t he parties, with their witnesses, should att end this day, t he police -sergeant himself courting the most rigorous ex amination into his conduct , and stoutly i ns i sting on the truth of his evidence. The court was densely crowded. Mr. Ballantine ap peared on behalf of Lord Ranelagh and his friend, who together with Colonel M'Doual and Captain Jennings (both we believe of the 2d Life Guards), and Lord A. S. Churchill were present on the bench. Mr. Church, solicitor, of the Old Jewry, attended on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company, and Mr. Superintendent Mallalieu, on behalf of the Commis sioners of Police. Police-sergeant Carpenter was also in attendance with his witnesses. The time mentioned having arrived, and Mr. Secker not having made his appearance, Mr. Ballantine addressed Mr. Traill to the effect that he appeared on behalf of Lord Ranelagh, who he said had been much pained at seeing the extremely inaccu rate report in the papers of the proceedings on Monday, so far as himself was concerned. Lord Ranelagh felt himself greatly aggrieved, and as a matter of public duty alone, he now came forward and asked for sum monses against the railway police-sergeant Price and the porter Widdows, for aggravated assaults as well as the commission of gross perjury, and against Police-Ser geant Carpenter for great misconduct in the discharge of his duty. He would, therefore, ask for an adjournment of the case until Saturday, though he had no doubt that \ the case would last more than one day, when he (Mr. Ballantine) should be ready to prove his case by an overwhelming amount of the most respectable evidence. Mr. Churoh hare rose, and said that he was in structed by the South-Eastern Railway Company to apply for cross summonses against Lord Razielagh and Mr. Ronane. Mr. num. hero explained to Mr. Ballantine what really had occurred on Monday. Mr. Mallalieu hoped that the case would be at once gone into, as it affected his officer. He had simply done his duty in producing him to answer the same, and he was ready to do so. Mr. TRAILL then said, that he thought it would be better not to say more at present, and, after adding his reasons for placing the matter for adjudication in other hands than his own, after hie decision on the former case, Mr. Church again rose, and on the part of the South- Eastern Railway Company, said, that the directors were anxious that the matter should receive the fullest inves tigation. It was their duty to protect their officers in the faithful discharge of their required services, and they would not shrink from it; at the same time, not at all wishing to screen them on failing to do so. If, however, on the contrary, it should be proved that the noble defendant and his friends, in the cases mentioned, had transg re ssed the rules laid down by the company for the pubfic safety, they must pay the penalty incurred; and that they had done so he bad abundant evidence to bring forward. However, as he said before, the com pany courted the fullest inquiry into the matter, and he therefore now applied for summonses against Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Ronane for a violation or the 16th section of the Act of Parliament, by obstructing their officers in the execution of their duty. The summonses and cross-summonses, after some further conversation between Mr. Traill, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Church, were ordered to issue. After another ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr. Mallalieu far the settlement of the charge against the police -sergeant Carpenter, Lord Ranelagh loudly ex claiming No, no," the parties then retired, it being uederstood that the cases should b© heard on Saturday, Mr. Church's cross-summonses to take the precedence. Mr. Seeker here arrived, and was politely informed by Mr. Traill what he had carved out for him. WORSHIP STREET. Hoc ossiNa AND ROBBERY.—Yesterday Catherine Lysith, a woman of abandoned habits, was placed at the beF i before Mr. Arnold, charged with administering some deleterious drug to Elizabeth Green, a girl four teen years of age, for the purpose of rubbery. The prosecutor, who presented a very sickly and de bilitated appearance, stated that she lived in Montague street, Whitechapel, and that about noon on Saturday last she was sent out by her mother to procure change for a sovereign at a neighbourint , public-house ; but, finding that the landlady was unable to furnish her with it, she was about to leave the place, when the prisoner, who was standing with another woman in front of the bar, familiarly claimed acquaintance with her, and stated that she was intimate with her sister. The pri soner then pressed her to drink with her, and on her de clining to do so placed to her lips a glass she had in her hand, and forced her to swallow the contents. Feeling much frightened witness hastily went out, bat was followed by the prisoner, who caught hold of her, and, pulling her along by the dress, invited her to go with her, and assured her that she would not hurt her. Atter going a short distance the prisonerasked her what she had in her hand ? and on her answering "nothing," she told her she knew it was money, and the other woman who was with her told her she knew, and that she might show it with perfect safety, as she was a very good woman, whom she herself had trusted with 51., and that she had returned it next morn ing. On her still refusing to show the money the pri soner 'roughly wrenched open her hand, forced the sove reign away from her, and rapidly made off. She tried to pursue her, but became partially stupified, and was walking on hi the direction she had taken, but suddenly became totally senseless, and did not know what became of her until she found herself at home under the care of her moth*. The prosecutrix's mother, a decent-looking woman, after confirming her daughter's evidence as to having sent her out for change of a sovereign, stated that after along time had elapsed, she was brought home in the arms of a man, surrounded by a large crowd of persons, and in such strong convulsions that she instantly sent for a surgeon, who expressed his conviction, upon exa mining her, that some powerful narcotic must have been administered to her. She continued for some time after in an alarming condition, and had not yet recovered from the effects of the drug. Police-constable Leicester, H 200, stated that while on duty in Wentworth-street, at one o'clock on Satur day, he saw the girl hurrying along, apparently in great trouble, and about an hour afterwards found her lying in front of one of the houses in the same street, in strong hysteric's, and upon raising her up she commenced rav ing in an extraordinary manner, and repeatedly ex claineed to the people around her not to hurt her. Sup poy'lng at the time that her condition might have been Praiduced by intoxication he allowed some persons in the crowd to take her away, and saw no more of her. Mr. ARNOLD intimated his opinion that the constable had not exercised a sound discretion in allowing so young a girl, whom he had found in that condition, to be taken away without inquiry; and that it was his manifest duty to have conveyed her to the station-house. Sergeant Bail, H 21, proved the apprehension of the prisoner that morning, and that upon apprising her of the nature of the eharge she stoutly denied it, and de clared that she had been confined by illness to her house for the last fortnight ; but upon being coutronted with the prosecutrix she acknowledged that she might have met her on the day named ; and he had since ascertained that she had been seen drinking with another woman in the public-house referred to for the greater part of the morning. ;AZ - ARNOLD said that it was a most serious case, and eledered the prisoner, who reserved her defence, to be committed until that day week for the formal completion of the evidence.

The House of Lords sat yesterday pro form&, acid after advancing several Bills a stage adjourned. In the House of Commons, On the order of the day for the third reading of a. Episcopal and Capitnlar Estates Management (No. 2) Bill, Mr. HENLEY moved as an amendment that it be revad a third time that day throe months. COl. SIBTHORP seconded the amendment. Mr. J. A. SMITH, Mr. ALCOCK, Sir H. WILLOI7GHB Y, and Mr. AGLIONBY spoke in favour of the principle of the Bill. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER supported the Bill, because it did not recognise any of the alleged rights of the lessees of church property. Mr. HEADLAM considered it was not for the good of the Church to ignore those rights which the lessees of church property had most undoubtedly acquired. Ultimately Mr. HENLEY withdrew his amendment, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The House then went again into Committee upon the Patent Law Amendment Bill, which passed this stage. Some further formal business was disposed of, and $ he House adjourned. LOCOMOTIVE ENTERPRISE A quarter of a century has not elapsed since the Parliamentary agents for a Bill authorizing the con struction of a railway between Liverpool and Man chester vehemently importuned Mr. G. STEPHENS° N, the engineer of the line, who bad been summoned to give evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Commons to which that Bill had been re- ferred, not to state the probable speed which might be attained by a locomotive on a railway at a higher rate than fourteen miles an hour. "We do zof doubt," said these gentlemen to Mr. STEPHENSON , " but that you will be able to attain a speed of eigh teen or twenty miles an hour,: but if you were to make such a statement to the Committee they would regard it as so extravagantly absurd that they would at once reject the Bill ;" and the Parlia mentary agents were right; there can be no doubt but that had those things been stated to the Committee, which are now of every-day occurrence, the Bill would have been rejected, and the cause of railway progress would have been thrown back for years. We well remember the anxiety, not unmingled with in credulity, with which the opening of the Liverpe of and Manchester Railway was looked for, and the sert of triumph with which (notwithstanding the unfortu nate death of Mr. Humus* the news of the comple to success of the new system of locomotion was greeted throughout the country. The idea of travelling eighteen or twenty miles an hour appeared something mar►ellous to those who had hitherto been accustomed to regard twelve miles an hour as the fastest of fstst travelling, and twenty-five miles, should such speed be ever attained, was regarded as the ate plus ultra of speed. Such has been the progress of improvement, however, that, thanks to the skill and enterprise of the directors and managers of our great railway compa nies, the present rate of locomotion exceeds the rate of that on the earliest railway at the earliest period, in much greater proportion than did the rate of speed on the earliest railway at its earliest period exceed the rate of speed of the then fastest coach. What would the Parliamentary agents who snubbed Mr. Gnonon STEPHENSON, or the members of the Parliamentary Committee, who would have regarded his moderate and carefully calculated state ments as the wild dreams of an enthusiast—what would they have said had they been told that before twenty-five years should have elapsed they would see 1,000 passengers and 3,000 packages of goods safely conveyed from London to Paris in twelve hours ? Why, even those who just twenty-one years ago witnessed the wondrous opening of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad, and had in consequence conceived some vague idea of the vast powers of steam on the iron road, would have greeted such a statement with a sneer of incredulity, yet such have been the immense improvements introduced into every department of science connected with locomotion on iron roads, that, thanks to the skill and admirable powers of organization of Mr. JAMES Macognoon, the South-Eastern Railway Company dispatched on Fri day last a train with about 1,000 passengers and 3,000 packages of luggage from the London-bridge termi nus, and set them down in Paris the same evening, after occupying not quite twelve hours on the journey ! That train was remarkable for having been the train in which the LORD M.ATOR and the Royal Commis sioners, with their friends, proceeded to Paris on their visit to the Prefect of the Seine, and as a matter worthy of being placed on record, we give some of the statistics of this, perhaps, the most remarkable in stance of the triumph of steam over time ever recorded. The parties and the packages were at the London bridge terminus at nine o'clock in the morning, and by thirty-five minutes past nine (so admirable had been the arrangements of Mr. MACGREGOR), the whole of them had been dispatched, and were en route! On the arrival of the train at Folkestone, they were embarked on board steamers and conveyed to Bou logne, where the party partook of a splendid dOeuner, after which several speeches were delivered ; this occasioned a delay of two hours. The party then started, per railway, for Amiens, where another fete was prepared, and more speeches were delivered, and where, consequently, another delay took place; and yet, notwithstanding these delays, the train ar rived in Paris at nine o'clock in the evening—the travelling, embarking, sea passage, disembarking, partaking of the good things set before them, and speechifying—all occupying ONLY TWELVE HOURS. We are informed in the account of the journey, which appears in another column, that at Boulogne a delay of two hours was occasioned; we may safely calculate the delay at Amiens at one hour and a half; and deducting these three hours and a half from the twelve hours which elapsed between the departure from London and the arrival at Paris, we shall find this train, containing 1,000 passengers and 3,000 packages, actually performed the journey from London to Paris in eight hours and a half—a circumstance wholly unparalleled, we believe, in the history of railway travelling The Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill had scarcely become a portion of the statute law of the land, the ink in which the Royal assent had been en dorsed on that salutary measure was scarcely dry, when a determined and organized confederacy was formed for the purpose not only of obtaining the re peal of the obnoxious Act, but of effecting the over throw of the "usurping Church," rescinding the laws against the Jesuits, procuring the modification of the Regency Act, so far as it prohibits Prince ALBERT, or the Regent for the time being, from becom ing or contracting marriage with a Roman Catholic, and authorising the attainment not only of the highest legal office (the Lord Chancellorship) by pro fessors of Romish doctrines, but even of the throne itself. These objects are not only sufficiently bold in themselves to attract public attention, but they are also put forward in the broadest and most unequivocal language. The overthrow of the " usurping Church" is distinctly spoken of, and the conversion of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN to what they are pleased to term "genuine Christianity," is manifestly re garded not only as a possible, but an exceedingly pro bable event. Under such circumstances it will be readily con ceded that the title of " Catholic Defence Associa tion," the name in which the new society rejoices, by no means conveys an adequate idea of the objects of its foundQrs. " Aggression " would be a more proper phrase than " defence." The overthrow of an exist ing institution, whether it be legitimate or " usurp ing," is certainly more of an " aggressive " than " defensive " character. The repeal of existing laws, whether justifiable or otherwise, is of a like descrip tion. In every piat they contemplate invasion, and COURT BEAUTIES. To be followed by KING CHARMING.

Aod tnui, flqu6y aud will be sufficient, as they suppose, to hoodwink the people of this Protestant country, and to render them indifferent to the palpable attempts to obtain supe riority under the garb of equality—to suppress other religions under the name of "toleration." The time selected for the attempt is peculiarly in felicitous. There may be nothing of novelty in the claims recently put forward by the Papal Court; they may be in strict conformity with the assump tions of the "Vatican for successive ages, a part of the system which led to the Reformation, and subse quently to the revolution and the expulsion of the " Stuart dynasty" from the throne of these realms. But they had been lost sight of and forgotten for a considerable period. We were accustomed to consider our Roman Catholic brethren as deeply injured per sons, who were merely suing for the restoration of their inalienable privileges as British subjects. The absurd and untenable pretensions of "the Holy See" had been suffered to remain in abeyance, and, on the old principle of "non apparentibus, et non existentibus, eadent est ratio," were totally forgotten. We, there fore, legislated as if they had been totally abandoned, and, perhaps, the only offices unconnected with the Church Establishment, from which Roman Catholics were excluded was the Monarchy itself, the Re gency for the time being, and the Lord Chancellorship. It was obvious that there should be a restriction on these points. If the Sovereign, or even the Regent, were Roman Catholic, the church of which that Sovereign was the recognised head should also become Roman Catholic, and the Church of England would not only be over thrown (a catastrophe which many strenuous Pro testants might bear with Christian fortitude and pious resignation), but a Roman Catholic establish ment would be substituted therefor, an event which would be regarded with no such equanimity, but which would excite very different feelings indeed. If it was necessary to provide for the religion of the Monarch, it was equally necessary to stipulate for that of the Lord Chancellor. The keeper of the King's conscience might, perhaps, be excused any private predilections in which he might, please to in dulge, but it was essential that the patron of a vast number of livings, who might inundate the Chureh with " Puseyite parsons," a body of whom the coun try is perfectly sick, should be at least a professing Protestant. The exceptions, therefore, were not so numerous or so unreasonable as to excite the ire of the Roman Catholics. They were accordingly readily and gracefully conceded, and for two and twenty years no complaints have been put forward against the restrictive clauses of the Emancipation Act until the present occasion. Now, however, when the Protestant feel ing has been excited to the utmost throughout the length and breadth of the land at the unprovoked and unwarranted invssion of the Royal prerogative and the national independence—when it has felt it necessary to repel the usurpation, albeit in the most moderate and temperate manner, adopt ing no measures of retaliation—we are greeted with the demands of a defence association (defence for sooth ! ! !), calling upon us to forego the scanty safe guards that were still retained for the protection of Protestantism in these realms. The time then for these demands is, as we have al ready stated, " peculiarly infelicitous." It shows that ulterior objects, not yet openly avowed, but scarcely concealed, are contemplated. We would, then, emphatically warn the promoters of this new, and we will say "unconstitutional," society against the probable consequences of their own acts. They are now in a very different position, from what they formerly were, when the "Catholic Association" flourished, and they may provoke a counter movement, of the results of which they can have no adequate conception. They should derive a salutary lesson from the old fable, and beware lest in " grasping at the shadow they may forfeit the substance." We give this warning in all sober earnestness, eschewing, above all things, religious differences, and anxious to prevent " Civil dissension, with its vip'rons tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the Commonweal." The choice, however, rests not with us—we will not attack, but we will not abandon our position; and if assailed it is impossible to calculate what may be the consequences of the ill-omened struggle. THE BRAZILS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. By the arrival off Queenstown of the clipper ship Columbus, Captain Goble, we have received advices from Rio Janeiro to the 20th June, Bahia the 27th, and Pernambuco to the Bth July. The advices from the River Plate are that Cor rientes and Entre Rios had both declared against Roses, and it was thought Brazil would have some difficulty in keeping out of the squabble. RIO JANEIRO, JUNE 20. ' Exchange, 29d. Coffee, 3 rein 50 milreis to 3 refs 100 milreis. Freights, 555. to 60s. BAHIA, Jurzu 27. Here we have nothing new to report. Business generally very dull. Money scarce and sought after. Weather wet and wintry. Exchange, 280.; freights, GOs. to 655. Vessels scarce and much wanted for cotton. Sugar, 1 reis 500 milreis to 1 reis 900 milreis. PERNAMBUCO, JULY 5. Business here very flat. A scarcity of money as also an amount of bills from other provinces has caused our rate of exchange to fix itself at 28d., and advanced our discount here to 1 to 1 per cent. per month. Freights 60s. to 655. The Robert Finnis, frorn•Livcrpool, and the For tuna, from Bremen, arrived here on the 25th dune.— Tinzes. rlfp 'RENir-1 We have received the Pad journals of yesterday. The fetes to the Royal Commissioners and to the Lord Mayor still engross the public attention ; a de tailed account of them will be found in another column. Tue arrogance and usurpations of the parti-pretre are at length arousing the indignation of those whose panic fear of Socialism has caused them to suffer themselves to be dragged through the mire of Je suitism by MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FAL LOUX. M. DUPIN, the President DUPIN, the ultra- Conservative M. DUPIN, felt himself compelled to protest in his place in the Assembly against the usurpations of the grasping clergy, and, thanks to his interposition, the amendment to the Hospital Regula tion Bill, proposed by M. SCEIOELCHEE, for the pur poses of giving to the civil power the right of dis missing the chaplains to public institutions, has been referred to the Committee, and will, in all probabi lity, be incorporated in the Bill. The following is the report of the discussion : The next order of the day was the third reading of the Bill relating to the administration of hospitals and other charitable institutions. M. Schoelcher proposed, as an amendment, that the spiritual authority should be obliged to come to an un derstanding with the Government for the removal of chaplains in those establishments, when necessary. M. de Melon opposed the amendment, on the ground that the present system worked well. The fresidentL-You cannot force the Government to keep chaplains of whom it disapproves.—( Movement.) M. de Melun declared that, atter having examined the concordate, he was of opinion that the amendment could not be admitted. He conceived that a chaplain when once appointed was irremoveable. M. Darn here replaced M. Dupin in the chair. M. Dupin said that the chaplains depended at the same time on the civil and the ecclesiastical authorities, and the co-operation of these two authorities was indispen sable. Conflicts had frequently taken place in the hos pitals between the directors and the chaplains. He had, while member of the committee of surveillance of the hospitals, found the latter interfere with the religious opinions of young people in spite of the wishes of their parents. It was highly necessary that the abuses which existed should be put an end to. The Government was disposed to give every latitude to religion, but there were some persons who wished to encroach, and, while feeling every respect for the ecclesiastical authority, he could not admit that the civil authority should be deserted. M. Armand (do Melon) protested, in the name of the Committee, against what he termed the diatribe of M. Dupia. M. Dupin said that he felt the highest respect for re ligion, but he could not oppose what he considered as its abuses. During all his political career he had defended the civil against the encroachments of the ecclesias tical authorities, and he should continue to do so.— (Hear.) The republic was, he said, a rigime of liberty ; it had given great developments to the religious powers, but it could never allow it to swallow up the civil au thority.—(Applause.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing that the amendment of M. Schoelcher should be referred back to the Committee. The amendment was then referred to the Committee as proposed. The organs of the parti-pratre are most amusingly angry with their "model President" of the Assembly, who is by them condemned to outer darkness, in com pany . with M. MICHEL (de Bourges), M. VICTOR HUGO, and the rest of the wicked. Tee councils of the arrondissements commenced their sittings on Monday. The following communicated note appears in the illoniteur :—'• A journal of the Gironde, on the faith of a letter from Narbonne, of the 31st ult., stated that on the 30th four sentinels had been assassinated at Perpignan, and that a fifth had only extricated himself by killing two men. This statement is ut terly without foundation." Even the Bourse speculators, to whom a military uni form is in general an object of horror, appear to be in spired with warlike ardour, for they have deserted their usual field of operations for the Champ de Mars.

AT rxxxxo Z HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last evening was a grand extra night, and Beethoven's chef d'ouvre Fidelio was repeated with Madlle. Sofie Cruvelli as the heroine. Each repeti tion of this delightful opera seems to develope new beauties. In order thoroughly to appreciate its transcendant excellence, it must be seen not once only, or even twice, but again, and again, and again. Madlle. Sofie Cruvelli is ever charming and ever new in her delineation of Fidelio; the foundation is the same, but the details are infinitely varied; hers is no mere mechanical rendering of the part—having im bued herself thoroughly with the spirit of the author, she trusts to the impulse of her genius to vary the details according to the inspiration of the moment, and thus it is that, like the late Edmund Kean, she completely electrifies her audience, imparting to them, if not a portion of her inspiration, at least a portion of her enthusiasm. Sims Reeves, as the captive, sang and acted admirably, and Coletti, as the Governor, was very fine. The music was admirably and con scientiously rendered throughout by the orchestra and chorus. Never has Beethoven's only opera been so perfectly performed as a whole as it is at her Majesty's Theatre. Fidelio was followed by the first act of the Muta di Portici, in which the exquisite singing of Madame Fiorentini, the expressive panto mime of Madlle. Monti, and the graceful dancing of Madlle. Amalia Ferraris created a perfect furore. DEATH OF LADY LOUISA StuAßT.—Lady Louisa Stuart, the youngest daughter and only surviving child of the celebrated statesman, Marquis of Bute, died a few days since, at her residence at Kensington , aged 94 . Perhaps no family: has more scions extant than the Bute branch of the noble house of Stuart. EXTENSIVE PIKE UPON ONE OF TIIE DUKE OF CAMPRIDGE'S FAE)IB.—On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke out upon Coomb Warren Farm, Kingston, the property of the Duke of Cambridge, but in the occupation of Mr. Francis Gainer, farmer, and before it could be extin guished, several hundred pounds worth of property were de stroyed. From inquiries made, it appears that a number of Irish labourers employed upon the farm were allowed per mission to sleep in the barn, situated at some distance from the dwelling house. It is supposed that a spark from one of their pipes fell upon some straw, which ignited, and soon afterwards the place was in flames. The engines from Kingston were put in requisition as soon as possible, but the fire continued raging until four o'clock yesterday morning, when the flames were effectually subdued. The cattle were with much difficulty saved and placed in security. The pro perty destroyed consisted of 30 quarters of barley, 100 loads of straw, cow sheds, and the barn where the fire originatd. Mr. Gainer is insured in the Norwich Fire Insurance Office, and it is estimated that 3001. will cover his loss. ROYAL ARTILLERY.--WOOLWICH, AUGUST G. — Captain Freess's and Captain Cleveland's companies assem bled in heavy marching order at one o'clock yesterday, and marched to Roff's had. where they embarked, at half-past one, on board one of the Woolwich Company's steam-boats for Hangerford- pier, and marched thence to Euston-square for conveyance to Birmingham, where they were to be bil leted for the night, and proceed to-day for Liverpool, en route to Ireland, to relieve two companies ordered to return to head-quarters from that country. The baggage of the companies was forwarded on Monday, to be ready packed in luggage vans, that no delay might take place on the arrival of tle companies at Euston station. The Royal Horse Ar tillery have been going through a course of gun and rocket practice in the Marshes fro:n halt-past eight A.m. to one o'clock P.M., under Lieutenant-Colonel Bell, and will con tinue during the remainder of the present week, in the event of the weather being favourable. The streets of Wool wich were for some time impassable on Tuesday when the companies embarked, owing to the great number of stranger who accompanied the band on the occasion. r te , ~ SPAIN. Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. The Gageta of the Ist publishes the returns of the receipts of the Spanish Treasury for the month of June, 1851. They show an improve ment of rather more than two millions of reels as compared with the corresponding month of 1850. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. I.—The following are the prices of stocks :Three per Cents., 36 sellers ; Five per Cents., 17 to 17k, with current coupon ; Cou pons, 8i to ; Passive Debt, 6 11-16. Exchange on London, 50 95. BELGIUM BRUSSELS, Aua. s.—Numerous petitions have been presented to the Chamber against the proposed duty on brandy and other spirituous liquors. The Chambers have adjourned for a week. We hear from Athens that the Belgian Envoy at the Court of Greece and Turkey was admitted to an audience of King OTHO previous to his departure for Constantinople. M. BLONDUL has commenced negotiations with the Greek Government for the renewal of the treaty of trade and commerce between Belgium and Greece, under favourable conditions to both parties, and the establishment of a regular steam-boat communication between Belgium and the Levant. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, AUG.5.—The resolution carried by the Second Chamber to postpone the debate on the Russian debt is not here considered a Ministerial defeat. It is true that the Minister for Foreign Affairs proposed that during the present session a project of law should be discussed for granting to Russia the sum of 1,424,000 florins as a repayment of the loan granted to Holland during the Belgian revolution, and Russia had now claimed the immediate payment of that sum. But the question was thrown out on account; of a legal informality, totally independent of the Ministry. TURKEY AND EGYPT. The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia has the following from Alexandria, 16th uit.:—" The con suls-general of France and England have had com municated to them from their respective ambassadors at Constantinople the customs' convention recently entered into between their Governments and the Ot toman Porte with the tariffs connected with it, which are to remain in force until the 13th of May, 1855. This treaty gives to foreign merchan'ts the power of deducting 16 per cent. from the current price of articles exported, and 20 per cent. on those imported. ABBAS PACIIA has, it is said, accepted the transimat with the modifications consented to by the Ottoman Porte. One question alone still remains in dispute. ABBAS PACHA considers he has the right to pronounce the sentence of death and to carry it into execution. The Porte contests this; pre rogative." DESTRUCTION OF THE RESIDENCE OF THE BRITISH CONSUL AT CONSTAN TINOPLE BY FIRE. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 23.—The residence of the British Consul General (Mr. CUMBERBATCH) was burnt to the ground on the night of the 18th. The fire broke out in one of the inner apartments, and the preservation of the lives of the family and household of the Consul, who were wrapped in deep sleep, is attributed to the explosion of a small case of gunpowder, which aroused the inmates. Pro viden tially no lives were lost. The consular resideni:.ewas reduced to ashes. There w e re no other dwellings near to it. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. The journey of the Lord Mayor and the Royal Com missioners, with their friends, to Paris, at the invitation of the Prefect of the Seine and Municipality of that city is worthy of notiee, as showing the improvements which human intellect and ingenuity have effected in the means of international communication. In the short space of thirty-five minutes, namely, between nine o'clock and thirty-five minutes past nine, nearly 1,000 rassen gers, with about 3,000 packages of luggage, were dis patched from the London -bridge terminus of the l r iouth- Eastern Railway for Paris. A splendid dejeuner was prepared for the disting aished party at Boulogne, in doing justice to which nearly two hours were occupied ; and again, at Amiens, the hospi tality of our French neighbours still further delayed the travellers, who, notwithstanding, arrived in Paris b y nine o'clock in the evening—the travelling., embarkinl., sea passage, disembarking, partaking of the good things sot before them, and speechifying—till occupying ON LY 12 Howls ! ! ! ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY IN TOWN FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT, TO PROROGUE PARLIAMENT IN PIESOE-- (THIS DAY.)—The Queen and Prince Albert, attended b y the Countess of esart, Lady in Waiting, the Hon. Flora Mac donald, Maid of Honour, Lord Alf re d P aget, E querr y,. the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel A. Gordon, Equerry to die J ince, and Alajor Myddleton Biddulp, Master of the Housu hold, left Osborne House this morning, and embarked on b oard the Fairy royal steam yacht, for Portsmouth. The y acht entered the harbour under salutes from the platform batteries, and the Victory, Blenheim, and Excellent, and also from the ships-of-war at Spithead. The Royal party were re. eivet I, as usual, at the Clarence-yard by the military and naval au thorities, and left for the Nine Elms-station, by special train, on the South-Western Railway, whence they were escorted to the Palace by a party of the Bth Hussars. Her Ma jesty, soon after her arrival, held a Privy Council, which wi.s .at. , tended by the Ministers, and at which the Roy4l Spet,ch on closing the session of Parliament was arranged. Gt.
