Morning .. 31 minutes after G E Evening .. 58 minutes after 6 appointment of a Commission to inquire into the relative merits of the broad and narrow gauges. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. M. PHILLIPS, and acceded to by Sir G. CLERK, on the part of the Government, was agreed to. The Lunatic Paupers Bill passed through Committee. On the Report on the Statute Labour (Scotland) Bill being brought up, Mr. SMOLLETT moved the re-committal of the Bill, for the purpose of adding certain clauses. After a short discussion the Bill was re-committed , several new clauses were added, the House resumed, and the report was brought up and agreed to. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Dog Stealing Bill. The third clause, inflicting a penalty of 201 for a first offence of dog-stealing, and transportation for a third, was opposed by Mr. WATSON, on the ground that the punishments were too severe, and supported by Mr. CITRTEIS. Mr. HAWES moved that the clause be struck out, and the Committee divided, when there appeared—For the clause, 33; against it, 6; majority in favour of the clause, 27. The remaining clauses were agreed to after some little discussion. The House resumed, and the Bill was reported. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Smoke Prohibition Bill, on the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN. The several clauses were, after some discussion, agreed to, and, the House having resumed, the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and he House adjourned at twelve o'clock. The debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday night, on the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill, was at once entertaining and instructive. We have no wish to speak invidiously of Irish landlords. Their conduct has been, no doubt, in former years very highly culpable ; but we are strongly impressed with the belief that, as a body, they are now, and have for some time past, ex tensively improved both in the discharge of the duties exacted by the relations in which they stand to their tenants, and their own personal deportment in the dis charge of their duties to society in general. And at all times, both among her native proprietors and her Eng lish owners, she has reckoned individual landlords not to be surpassed for intelligence, steadiness, and liberality by those of any other country in Europe. Among all political parties and all religious persuasions these excellent examples have been found. The Presbyterians of the north, the Roman Catholics of the south, the Protestant aristocracy of England, the ancient nobility and gentry of Ireland, have, in many instances, shown a degree of patriarchal kindness to their tenantry—consulting and providing for their wants, aiding the improvements of their homesteads, building chapels and schools for them, cutting and improving roads fur their accommodation, and at heavy charges to themselves—which may well be allowed to be set against a large account of by-gone generations of delinquent landlords. Still, it must be allowed that these have been, and are, but brilliant ex ceptions to a general rule, tried by which, the majority cf Irish landlords are certainly far behind the great bulk of the same class in England. And this proposi tion we think we can establish by a very simple test. The principle that the tenant who has but the usufruct for a limited term of that property which his landlord holds either for a much longer term, or abso lutely in fee, should receive compensation for such per manent improvements as he has made in that property during his tenure of it, is one of simple equity, to put it at its lowest value. It might also be shown that it is also one which it should be the policy of the State to encourage. It seemed somewhat strange on Tues day night to find so many Peers, Irish landlords, con tending, on their own behalf and that of other Irish landed proprietors, that this equitable and politic prin ciple would be ruinous in Ireland. It seemed some what remarkable to find such a combination of opponents to the measure as the Marquis of LONDONDERRY and Lord MONTEAGLE, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord BEAUMONT. We greatly doubt whether any English landlords of large possessions could be found, who would venture to denounce so fair a principle, when affirmed on the part of English tenants. Why, then, should that which is fair, equitable, and expedient quoad the English tenant, be treated otherwise than expedient, equitable, and fair in respect of the Irish tenant ; and with regard to the former Lord CAMPBELL expressly affirmed that the principle of English law was decidedly in favour of this principle of the Bill. We could understand the opposi tion of the other Peers to the Bill, if it had rested on Lord CAMPBELL'S assumption that the clause to which he particularly adverted was so worded that it would make compensation compulsory on the landlord, even where the tenant had made alterations, &c., which were decidedly prejudicial to the property. With submission to the Noble and Learned Lord these would be very " Irish" cases of improvements indeed, and it is only for " improvements" that the Bill proposes to secure com pensation to the tenant. In his reply Lord STANLEY appears to have completely disposed of this objection by showing that the details of the measure had been so prepared as to guard against sanctioning such an abuse. And we must remember that Lord STANLEY'S authority in support of this Bill is to be taken quite apart from all political considerations ; because, much to his honour, he is well known to be one of the most popular and considerate landotvners in that part of Ireland in which his estates are situatsd. We are quite satisfied, upon the grounds assigned by many Peers in this debate, that the Bill requires and will receive important modifications in Committee. But on the best consideration we have hitherto been able to give to the question, we do not see the force of the Mar quis of SALISBURY'S objections to have the clause com pulsory on the landlord. Certain we are, that if in other remedial measures intended, honestly enough, as we believe the present one to be, for the benefit and social improvement of the Irish people, their principle had been made compulsory on the landlord, the tenantry of that country would never have been in the melancholy condition in which the mass of them have so long been plunged. Besides, if the principle of compensation to the tenant for improvements effected by him in the property be sound and just, why should the landlord, who intends to act honestly by him, object to its being compulsory upon him to administer it ? The right of the landlord to prevent projected improvements, where he may show good ground to the Commissioner or other authority under the Bill, for anticipating that. they will be too costly, or otherwise objectionable, will no doubt be provided fur by the Committee on this Bill. For our own parts, we quite enter into the wish ex pressed by the Duke of RICHMOND, that the same prin ciple should be extended to the tenant in England and in Scotland ; which was the best answer supplied, in the course of the debate, to the question put by Lord CLAN RICARDE—why the clause confining the operation of the , Act exclusively to Ireland should not be omitted. We hope and believe that this is not the only fruit we are to expect from the Tenure of Land Commission in Ireland, over which the Earl of DEVON presided. But we are far from disposed to undervalue i:, taking it even upon its own isolated merits. It must be evident to every dispassionate mind which has addressed itself to the domestic condition of Ireland since the commence ment of the present century, that much of the ill feeling that has existed there against the landlords has been owing to the cruel manner in which compensation for actual expenditure on the permanent improvement of the lands leased or rented by them has been habitually with held. We are bound to add, that we look upon the Bill as another earnest that the Government is seriously set ting itself to the task of redressing practical grievances in the state of Irish society by practical means. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 17th. The QUEEN . , it was understood, would remain at Barcelona till the 25th, then leave for the waters of Esparraguera, and return to Madrid about the middle of July. MAR TINEZ DE LA RoaA, who had completely recovered from his late illness, was to leave in a few days to join the Court in Catalonia. A Cabinet Council was held at Madrid on the 16th, and on breaking up dispatches were sent off for Paris and London. They were understood to relate to the abdication of Don CARLOS and the QUEEN'S marriage. According to the Clamor Public° the liberty of the press is to be abolished forthwith by a royal decree.

IHE, SUN, LONDON, the pleasure yachts through which she threaded - her course. This mighty bulwark, moreover, an swers her helm with such singular facility and truth, that even her manoeuvring bids fair to prove as transcendant and unrivalled as her enormous length, her six-fold masting, and her combined capacity for tre mendous armament and stowage. Leaving her arma ment for future notice, we will illustrate the two other points we have thus noticed by stating that, prior to taking up her moorings, her captain brought her head round to precisely the position which six minutes previously had been occupied by her stern, describing in this beautiful evolution a circle little ex ceeding in its diameter her own length. Her run, indeed, is enormous, being 274 feet, but it is associated with the salutary qualification of unusual width of beam. Its breadth is in the proportion of between one fifth and one-sixth of this length. Its tonnage far exceeds that of any ship whatever known to be in existence or to have been ever built. This seems the proper place to notice what we apprehend must be an error in the important Parliamentary Paper (No. 349, H. C., of this session), the contents of which we noticed the other day. Under the column giving the date " when built," we find against the Great Britain the year 1843 ; and under the column headed " tons " those figures are repeated. What her registered tonnage may be we cannot certainly state ; but, if our memory serves us rightly, the transposition of these figures, so as to bring the 1843 to 3481, will give a much more adequate notion of her real capacity. In order to judge how far the working power is competent to the ma , s to be moved, and, therefore, of the effective proportion of what may be called her material force to her bulk, we mayfairly take a mean between these two estimates of to nage according to the Parliamentary Paper (doubtless an incorrect one) and of her real capacity. Let us suppose this mean to represent 2,000 tons, and the power will be the equivalent of about one horse to every two tons. If the tonnage be taken at 1843, the power is of course still greater. In either case this is a formidable proportion of power to tonnage—always bearing in mind, that a, the rate of tonnage increases the proportion of horse-po)e er must,from various causes,necessarily diminish. It is to the credit of the Bristol builders—if they needed any praise to eke out the paramount celebrity they have so justly acquired by the construction of the Great Western and the Great Britain—that their steamer craft is generally remarkable for this same important element of efficiency, the nice adaptat,!on of these two conditions. The pro portion of horse power in the Great Western is still higher-400 to 679 tots• In that very fine steamer, Liverpool built, the Hindustan, it is less, being 400 to 971 tons. she, too, is 217 fr e t and a half long b . ) 35 and a half nroad—a proportion of About one seventh in width to the length. But among other Bristol craft of smaller dimensions, especially the tuffs, we find an enormous increase of power in relation to burden. The Star, of 140 tons, is of 120 horse-power ; the County of Pembroke, of 70 tons, 90 horse-power ; the Tiger, 42 tons, 60 horse-power ; and so on. But besides tugs, there are other steamers built at the same port, as the Swift, of 100 tons, 100 horse-power ; the Phmnix, 134 tons, 110 horse-power. The Great Britain, in addition to her overwhelming superiority of dimensions and power, has approved herself in speed an unequalled steamer, and finally, she may be fitted for forty guns of heavy metal. It is really with feelings of national pride that we contemplate the auspicious commencement this master piece of naval architecture has made of the long, useful, and prosperous career, which we trust she is destined to fulfil. She is a worthy guarantee that the old Eng lish supremacy on the seas, through whatever vicissi tudes of improvement and extension the noble art of navigation may yet have to pass, will be rigorously as serted mid maintained by the sagacity, the spirit, the liberality, and the native tendencies of the national genius to maritime pursuits and ship-building. Long may that spirit and those energies be developed in the same direction. Long may those tendencies continue for the advancement of British greatness and prosperity, the extension of British commerce, the diffusion of Bri tish civilization, arts, and institutions, and the conse quent welfare of the world at large. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, a brief discussion took place relative to Otaheite, on the grant 2,000,000 f. for the establishments in the Pacific. M. DE MALLEVILLE referred to the attempts made Iy Admiral HAMELIN to open np a communication with Queen POMARE, and said it appeared that, so far from showing any disposi tion to co-operate with the French in the government of the country, she had refused not only to see his agent, but had rejected all his letters. M. BILLAULT said Ministers had sacrificed the dignity of France in advising the KING to write a letter to this QUEEN, and thereby exposing the signa ture of his MAJESTY to the contempt of barbarians. Allusion was also made to a letter said to have been addressed by POMARE to Louis Pm - um, evidently dictated by the English mis sionaries. Admiral MACKAL` said the letter alluded to had never reached the KING, and might be regarded as apocryphal. He could assure the Chamber that the dignity of France would be maintained, and the protectorate of the islands continued. A Committee of the Chamber had decided on a direct line of railway to be executed by private companies from Paris to Cherbourg, by Berney and Caen, with a branch line to Rotten, and another from Caen to join the Loire. The political intelligence in the Paris papers is not important. The Moniteur publishes an ukase issued by the Emperor of RusslA, doing away with the prohibition on many articles of foreign merchandise, and substituting heavy duties on the following articles :—Bronzes, marbles, clocks and watches, fine hardware, mercery, silks, engravings, richly bound books, music, &c. The export duties have been abolished on oleaginous seeds, cables, hempen ropes, and other vegetable matters grown and ma nufactured in Russia. The Phare des Pyrenees, of the 16th, contradicts, in the most positive manner, the report of the arrest of CABRERA. According to some accounts he is still at Lyons, and the report had been spread by the Spanish Government, in order to induce her MAJESTY to return to Madrid, without visiting the Basque Provinces. Accounts from Switzerland announce that Dr. STEIGER had made his escape from prison, and is now out of the reach of the Lu cerne authorities. The following letter gives the particulars of his escape : " Zuatcm, Juaig 20.—Dr. Steiger has, with the concurrence of three gendarmes who guarded him, made his escape from prison at Lucerne, and the whole party, accompanied by many friends, arrived here at half.past eight o'clock this morning. It appears he was provided with a uniform of the gendarmerie, and in this cos tume passed, in company of the others, out of the town, entered a carriage in waiting, and passed the frontier. He remained in Zurich till three o'clock, whence he took his departure, It is sup posed, for Frauenfeld in Turgovia. I hear the plan for escape had been arranged several weeks since, but no favourable oppor tunity offered until last night at twelve o'clock, when it was ef. fected in the manner above described."

THE QUEEN V. GREGORY.—In this case an attempt was made by Mr. Cockburn, upon the authority of a dictum in Coke's 2d Institutes, sec. 109, to show that the indictment was bad, in not describing the Duke by his own name as Charles Frederick D'Este, Duke of Brunswick, but by his title of honour. Lord Denman said he would make a note of the objection, and after briefly addressing the jury lett them to decide upon the mean. ing and application of the passages complained of. The jury im. mediately found the defendant Guilty upon all the counts.

GREAT FIRES AT QUEBEC AND NEW YORK. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, 4 O'CLOCK. The New York packet-ship Cambridge, Capt. Barstow, has just arrived at this port from New York, which city she left on the 2d inst., and consequently made the passage home in 21 days. She brings a number of both cabin and steerage pas sengers. Sailing so shortly after the steam-ship Britannia, the news contained in the New York papers is devoid of po litical interest, but we regret to state that the accounts from Canada are of a most distressing nature. One of those dread ful conflagrations, for which the North American provinces are remarkable, has made shocking ravages in Quebec. We give it as forwarded to us in anticipation of the American papers : New York, June 9, 1845. I avail myself of the departure of the Cambridge far Liverpool. to send the following account of an awful and destructive fire at guebec, which has just reached my hands by express from Quebec. Yours, &c., CHAS. K. WILLMEII. A most destructive fire took place at Quebec, where, it seems, 2,000 houses have been destroyed, and 12,000 persons rendered houselessl The fire commenced shortly before mid-day on the 28113 of May, in a tannery in St. Vathere-street. The day was remarkably warns, end the heat and dryness of the few days previous had rendered the roofs of the buildings in the neighbourhood, and those more remote, highly susceptible of igni. tion. The adjoining and opposite dwellings were soon involved, and in an inconceivably short space of time the burning flakes, carried afar by the then rising wind, had ignited some buildings In the neighbourhood of the St. Roch's Church—a considerable dis tance from the outbreak of the fire. The wind gradually freshened from the west, with a coming storm, and it was soon evident that all human endeavours to arrest the progress of the fire in a locale studded, for the moat part, with wooden buildings, alone would be useless--an im pression but too fatally verified. Onward swept the flames—street after street fell before them. A species of whirlwind seemed to aid its fatal advances—for in advance, in the rear, on every side, the raging element developed itself with momentarily Increasing fury. Spots that to the shrieking and affrighted refugee were now apparently safe, in,a few minutes subsequent were wrapped in a vast sheet of flames. From eleven in the morning until midnight did this dread fire hold uninterrupted sway, until its career was arrested in St. Charles-street—nearly one mile from the place of its outbreak! At the broadest point the breadth of the burnt district is about one third of a mile. . . Between 1,500 and 2,000 houses are supposed to have been consumed, and it is calculated that 12,000 persons (one-third of the population) are this day houseless. Moat of these people have lost their all, the rapid advance, and sudden capricious directions taken by the flame, not only rendering it impossible to save any portion of the property In the dwellings, but in a vast number of instances barely allowing the inmates sufficient time to escape living. The clnireh in St. Roch's is in ashes. The convent is saved. St. Peter's Chapel is also burnt. The large brewing establishments of Messrs. Lloyd and Lepper and M'Culium are consumed, and the line of wharfs from Munn's to the one at the foot of Hope Hill. On these were an immense quantity of deals, which were all consumed. At this point the fire was arrested by throwing down the piles of deals, and on the town side by blowing up two houses. This opera tion was conducted by Lieut.. Colonel Warde, of the Royal Engi neers, and some of the officers and men under his command. Two Methodist churches were iso burnt. The Artillery Bar rack was three times in danger. A general meeting had been called, attended by 3,000 persons, at which between 3,0001. and 4,0001. were collected on behalf of the sufferers. At Montreal steps were being taken to aid the unfortunate persons who have lost their all by the calamity. The moat painful event was the destruction of the hospital, to which, as being considered entirely out of the reach of the con. iagration, numbersof sick persons of all classes were carried. The building became ignited by the flakes of fire carried from the dis. Lance by the wind; the unfortunate inmates, unable to help them. selves, perished miserably, The losses by the mercantile lower town people will be heavy. Almost all the bakers are burned out—M'Conkey, Clarihue, Tourangeau, &c., and nothing saved. What renders matters more disastrous is, not one house in ten in St. Roch's was insured, and those insured are principally at the Mutual Insurance Company, which being composed of persons resident at St. Roch's, the company is defunct, for if one man owes his neighbour IQs,, and his neighbour owes him l Os., and neither have wherewith to pay, both are ruined. Every exertion was made to relieve the unfortunate sufferers, Lord Metcalfe forwarded 2,0001. for their relief; the Catholic bishop sent 5001., and the Hotel Dies 5001. The good bishop has addressed a circular letter to his clergy, imploring subscriptions for the poor families thus dsprived of a home and an asylum, and suggesting the calling of public meetings in every parish for that purpose, together with contributions of clothing, money, and previsions. The loss of life, according to one of the accoun's, exceeds one hundred persons I and the lose of property is said to be above 750,0001. Eighteen schooners were burnt at the Patois. " No thing left," says one of the letters from the scene of the conflagra. tion, " from where you begin to descend Cote les Bras at Tou rangeau's, running down the large street towards the Marine Hospital ; everything on the right until you reach the water, thence to the two distilleries, M'Cullum and Lloyd's, these in cluded, is destroyed : the fire ending, or rather being arrested, at the point where the roads St. Paul.street and Hope-hill diverge. The loss in round numbers cannot be easily ascertained, but half a million will not cover the losses, nor perhaps 750,0001." New York, we regret to find, has also been the scene of a similar, though not so extensive, a calamity as that of Quebec. By the New York fire, which occurred on Saturday night, the 31st ultimo, one hundred buildings and twenty five horses have been burned, and four hundred families left destitute. The greater portion of the demolished buildings are represented as "poor shanties," occupied mostly by Irish families. It is said that not fifty dollars' worth of furni:ure or property of any kind has been saved by any of these poor individuals, and not twenty of them all have been saved. " Nothing," writes the New Fork Tribune," can be conceived so utterly sad and pitiful as the condition of these three thousand men, women, and children (for the number will reach that), thus in an instant reduced to ab , olute want and hunger, shelterless, and many of them unclad, and with only a blanket about their shoulders They are sitting weeping and starving under the fences, and in the vacant lots, crowded into cow-pens and out-houses—the middle-lifed, the Young, the decrepid, aged—the helpless infant—what a scene !" The same paper humanely suggests that a public meeting, fur the relief of the sufferers, should be held without delay. In the commercial affairs of the United States nothing worthy of notice had occurred from the time of the sailing of the Britannia to the departure of the Cambridge. There was but a moderate amount of business done for the steam-ship Britannia. English bills of exchange were offered at 109% ; France, 5. 25. The account of the weather and crops throughout the United States is rather encouraging, and in many parts the approaching harvest is represented as likely to be both early and abundant.

There has not 'been any very extensive overtrading thisyear, and the crops of the country are so abundant, that every engagement between debtor and period, the commercial in a creditor must eventually be cancelled. The reduced busi ness of this season must have a very favourable influence, and give those who have become in vo l ve d i n prev i ous seasons an opportunity to reduce their liabilities.

The dreadful fire at Quebec quite • throws the miscellaneous advices from Canada into the shade, and it is expected that a public meeting will be called here to consider the best means of furthering subscriptions.

CARISIORNB HOUSE.—The house and grounds on the banks of the Thames, just beyond Chelsea, once the residence of the late Lord Cremorne, and since then known to the public by occasional fetes and exhibitions got up by the late Baron de Berenger, have been opened for the present season, under a new lessee, and with a spirit and an enterprise which promise and deserve success. This place, which is capable of rivaling Vauxhall or ancient harielagh, has unfortunately been hitherto very badly managed as a place of public amusement; and as those who went there under the management of the last-named person—now no more —seldom or ever found much to be pleased with, the place fel almost into oblivion, or was, at roost, rarely thought of. On Monday the season there (if it may be so termed) was commenced under very favourable auspices. There has been a judicious outlay of a large sum of money. A ban luetting.room has been built., an extensive kitchen laid out, an ample store of those things which attract the lovers of good living provided, hosts of waiters, and so forth, retained, r rid a sort of semi-dramatic corps of employis eng4ged under the direction of the celebrated Mr. T. Matthews, of Drury-lane Theatre, the greatest pantomimist of the day. These pers-ons, habited as Robin Hood and his merry !nett, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Scathelock, &c., with jocund baud. of mortice dancers, perform a sort of sylvan interlude in the woods of the premises. There are dancing, archery, the songs of outlaws, and the sports of quarter staff. All this is well managed. Hien .come rope dancing, the tricks of jugglers, and other such like pastimes. There is a. Rood orchestra, and an effective band of musicians. The grounds are very delighttul, the walks and trees and shrubs verdant and refreshing to " one in smoky cities pent," and who is willing to breathe a little fresh air at a very smal expense on the banks of the river. The grounds were well patronised for air opening day, and the company continued to enjoy the scene and the variety of amusements for many hours. the interior of the house has undergont some very judicious alterations, and it is BOW a commodious place or public amusement welt worthy of general support. EAST ivtua MAILS.--SoliTll AMPT , N. JUNI.; 24, Stx o'CLocc, e Gnat Liverpool has just arrived in the Docks from Alexandria, and is lando.g the East India and China snails, which will be forwarded to London by to-night's mall. She left Alexandria on the 12th instant. This is the first of the India boats that has not stopped at the Mothtr bank to perform her quarantine. 1 —reat ste:ern-ship urrived in Kingstown harbour on Sunday, about two o'clock. The utmost anxiety prevailed to witness her arrival, as the vessel was expected on Saturday evening, and her non.arrival gave rise to several ru mours, all of which proved happily unfounded. At half.past one the magnificent outline of the Greet Britain was seen looming on the horizon, and in half an hour " the living mass," hull, spars, and rigging, proudly bearing up against a head wind, entered Kingstown harbour, and anchored at the old jetty, bailed by the cheers of countless thousands who had assembled to witness the event. Vast crowds visited the vent]. ATTLNIPT t D SUICIDE BY A LADY.—On morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a most fortunate dis covery was made of an attempted suicide by the lady of Augustus Mentinero, Esq., residing in Albany-street, Re gent's-park. About six weeks since the unfortunate lady (wile is only twenty years of age) was confined with h:r first child, and having quitted her bedroom too soon, she caught a violent cold, which brought on milk fever. On Mon. day morning she appeared considerably better and quite tranquil, and asked her attendant to go flown a! airs into the par lour and request Mr Mentin, to to come se.e•k to her. The nurse quitted the room alai proceei:to a short distance down thy stairs. but suspecting wrong she returned and Inutur the Unlo, tunate lady busily engaged tying a silk handkerchief to the bed post, which she had first fastened round her neck, for the purpose of suspending herself. She was immediately secured. EALTII 01' .:`lft Wlt LIAM I.'‘ol.l.t.TT. tr state that the health of the Right Hon. and Learned Genthinan is test declining. He was lately removed from his residence in Park-street, Westminster, by the anvice of his medical attendants, to that of Nlr. Pennell, an immediate relative, in Cumberland• terrace, Regent's-park. During the whole of yesterday evening the inquiries in Park-street were incessant, and in answer to them, up to eleven o'clock, it was stated that he still continued in a very pyre-riot:a state; numerous persons were then waiting the return of messengers who had been dispatched to ascertain the latest state of his health. The reporter at twelve o'clock was in. formed that no change for the better had taken place, but that, in fact, he was consinered much worse, and gradually sinking. D r . Bright aria Dr. Chambers had visited him several times duritig the day, and at twelve o'clock Dr. Bright, who has been most unre mitting in his attendance during the Learned Gentleman's pro tracted illness, was still in attendance upon Wm.—herald. :.`sTOBM ST :.")T.

It is stated in the New Orleans Picayune, " That the ar rival of the American squadron at Vera Cruz created a great excitement, and also in the city of Mexico, where it • as re presented to consist of 21 men-of-war. The unexpected presence of this squadron had no doubt a salutary influence, and possibly might have caused the mission so privately de termined upon by the United States." The same jour nal also observes :—" We are informed that Mexico is in a most distracted condition, amounting almost to a state of revolution." Santa Anna was still imprisoned in the Castle at Perote, but no doubt existed that he would be liberated, if he is not already free to depart. The impression that he will once more resume the reins of authority and power is gaining ground, and many consider this will take place before the termination of the next six months. BUENOS AYRES, Our advices from Rio Grande are up to a late date, by which we are informed that accounts were momentarily ex pected of the block-ode of Buenos Avres by the united fleets of England, France, and Brazil. The Brith,:h Minister had left Rio on the 3d of April by a war steamer, and deci , ive m easures were exßected on his arrival. The Montevidean army wen into the mountai ns o f Ri o G ran d e by the puruno4 Buenos Ayrean forces early in April, and after a desperate encounter completely routed, with great loss on both sides There seemed to be little doubt, especially in the military circles at Rio Grande, that a war would be inevitable be tween Brazil and Buenos Ayres. THE MOOES.—We can confidently a , .ure one sporting friends that they may be certain of the ensuing season being one of the beat for grouse that has occurred for many years, From sportsmen in quest of shooting quarters, and keepers who have thoroughly examined their grounds, we hear that young, birds will be abundant. The covles average from eight to ten, and for some time past the little eheepers have been trying a short ex cursion on wing A keeper. who has watched the first appearance of young birds for many years, noticed a brood this season so early as the 6th of May. On all the lower moors they are now about a month old; and on the high mountain ranges both grouse and ptarmigan are strong and plentiful.—lnverness Courier.

WHITE KNIGHTS, READING.—The magnificent estate of the late Duke of Marlborough, known as White Knights, was purchased last year by parties who propose to di vide it for building purposes, and plans for laying out the pro perty were obtained by the offer of premiums. The land is now coming into the market, and when we consider its sur passing beauty and its contiguity to the Great vvestern Rail by which it is reached from London in less than an hour and a half, there can be little doubt that it will be speedily covered with villas.' We had occasion to visit the spot last we.k, and are induced to think there i s no thing like it in England available to the public. The botanic gardens with their magnolias and conser vatory; the wilderness, filled with American Vents now in full bloom; the lake, bridges, China cottage, valley, and fountain, offer a succession of pictures of extraordinary beauty ; and these are to be reset ved for the enjoyment of those who occupy houses on the estate. Mr. Moeatta and Mr. George Godwin are ap. pointed architects The Builder. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-- ' Tuesday evening, about ten o'clock, a man named Thomas Miles. employed as a switchman at the joint railway station, London -bridge, while coming out of his signal boa to adjust the switches, in order that the up Croydon train might pass into the station, was knocked down by the engine, which passed over his right leg, crushing it to pieces from the ankle to the knee-joint. He was immediately conveyed without delay to Guy's Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. Cock, who immediately performed amputation, about the middle of the thigh.
