In the House of Lords last night, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts 1311. The principal feature in the measure was the appointment of five Commissioners (two of thein to be paid), who should be invested with a general control over all charities, to whom the trustees of chdrities might apply for advice, and annually furnish a list of their accounts. On the other hand, trustees were to be indemnified where it was shown they had acted by the advice of the Commissioners, and no action for fraud or malversation was to be commenced against trustees without the consent of this newly•consiituted body. After some remarks from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord STANLEY, approving generally of the objects of the Bill, though they avoided committing themselves to the details, the Bill was read a second time. Their Lordships then adjourned. The Commons held a morning sitting, On the order of the day for the third reading of the Bt. Albans' Bribery Commission Bill, Yesterday our columns were adorned with the official report of the Government Commission on the question of a supply of water to the metropolis, Con spicuous among the declarations embodied in this inestimable document, we observe one to the effect, that " rivers must always be the natural and indispen sable channels of drainage"—drainage being em ployed here, most erroneously, as a synonym for sewerage. Remember this is tne language used, not by a City functionary enamoured of old abuses, not by an Alderman infatuated with the igno rance and ordinances of a former age, but by men supposed to be men of ability and information, men selected for the inquiry because of their supposed enlightenment, men who appear to carry a guarantee of their intelligence in the initials appended to their signatures, those three magical letters F.R.S. Yet from personages like these we find emanating such miserable indications of fatuity as that afforded by the preceding quota tion. According to them drainage means sewerage, for which the rivers of a country are the natural and indispensable channels. Now both of these assertions we beg leave to pronounce most contemptible for their glaring and self-evident inaccuracy. Drainage and sewerage are words by no means synony mous ; their signification is essentially different— drainage implying, forexample, the carrying off of such superfluous quantities of water as may result from rain, from the melting snow of the mountains, and from that aggregate of rills, and brooks, and runnels, and rivulets which go to the making up of every river, while sewerage ia restricted entirely to the conveyance of the foul and putrescent outpourings of every locality distinguished as a place of human habitation. Using drainage, therefore, in its right signification it would, of course, be correct to say that rivers are its natural and in dispensable channels, though, at the same time, it would be ridiculous to announce, with an air of formal solemnity, a fact so very plain and self-evi dent. It reminds one of SAM WELLER'S illustra tion—" A self-evident proposition, as the cat's-meat man said, when the servant girl called him no gentle man." It would be as absurd to advance such an opinion officially, through the medium of a report from a Government Commission, as to remark, with the same air of sagacious circumspection, that the atmosphere is the natural and indispensable channel for the falling shower. After protesting however, in the first instance, against the quibbling phraseology in which the document above-mentioned has been couched, we have a stronger protest than this to enter against the argument which that phrase ology is intended to advance, namely, that the rivers are the necessary means afforded to the inhabitants of a city for the carrying off of its sewage matter. Such an assertion is in accordance with the memorable re marks of the London Alderman, that PROYIDENCE had evidently intended that rivers should be thus employed by the fact of His having directed their currents through every considerable capita quite forgetting, poor silly man, that the rivers were not directed through the cities, but that the cities were constructed on the banks of the rivers. Silly as was the opinion of the municipal potentate, it has been endorsed with all imaginable formality and de liberation by the Government Commission for the supply of water to the metropolis. For ourselves, we can never cease proclaiming the truth that rivers are most unnaturally employed as a means of carrying away the sewage matter of a town or city until we can find the system at length happily abandoned by a more wise and humane generation. Experience in regard to the noble stream of water flowing through the heart of this vast metropolis has assuredly taught us long since the folly and atrocity of polluting its current as it has been so long polluted, and transforming it from the blessing to the curse of the surrounding population. Let it not be forgotten that the Thames, if properly cared ' for, that is to say, if permitted to convey to us the pure filtrations of the land accumulated in its course to the channel from its fountain- head in the vicinity of Cheltenham, might supply the citizens of the capital with an abundance of life-giving nutriment, instead of poison ing them daily, as at present, when employed as a means of city irrigation. Whereas, according to the position of things as they are, the metropolis is not only supplied with a foul beverage from this source, but there is perpetually floating to and fro among the bridges the collected filth of London and West- minster, during the summer in the broiling sunlight, the river being as far up as this subjected notoriously to the agitation of tidal influences. Yet with these evils glaring upon their comprehension, the mem bers of the Government Commission are not ashamed to assert that rivers are and must always be the.natural and indispensable channels of drainage, meaning sewerage, as we have already sufficiently well indi- cated ! Against every such monstrous perversion o the truth we never can protest too loudly, whether it come from the lips of an ignorant City functionary, or from those of an enlightened (r) Goverment Commission. Never can the people, living in a capital situated near thn mouth of a large river like the Thames, listen to the enunciation of opinions such as those here par ticularised without profound sentimetrts of disgust and indignation. They tend, indeed, to declare that the dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDY NCE are ne- _ comarily malign instead of being alwa;is beneficent, and to aver that the course of Nature is one of cruelty and violence, instead of being one of unbounded love and of maternal and perpetual conservation. Gentleman the Memb e r f or K erry is T en h t e it in° lie°dtuoraconsiderable credit for the zeal and •lf of his , un fortunatedefrauded depositors in the a bility which he h as displayed on beha. constituents, the eßrekgsi'slatti in bringing re. Neither their cS e av o i f ng th s c l i a r s a e l s ee u a n n d d er K th il e lar n n o e t y i has he been indifferent to the injuries inflicted on the sufferers at Rochdale and Scarborough, for whom he has likewise endeavoured to obtain redress, and he has certainly succeeded ill establish ingnot only a strong claim , -, upon the compassion, but also upon the justice of the country. Expediency and equity alike demand that full condition of those, consi deration should be given to the supposed tE at they b ad who, to say the least of it, . a rl3ll 0 3. ' Government security for their hard e - b Pro vident habits should be sedulously encouraged by those entrusted with the administration of public affairs. Nothing could be more impolitic than to enable the drunkard and spendthrift to exult over the prudent and careful, and to boast that they had at least the satisfaction of spending their money, and that they were after all in no degree worse than those who had appropriated a portion of their wages as a provision for old age, sickness, or any other emer gency that might arise, but who had their stores swept off by the infamous frauds of some parties and the culpable negligence of others. The Government Mr. BANBES moved as an amendment that it be read a third time that day six months. Mr. HENLEY and Mr. STUART supported the emend ment, which, on a division, was negatived by 37 to 16, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. At the evening sitting, on the order for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. ROEBUCK brought the Danish claims once more before the House. These were claims, he observed, of British mer c h an t s , i n consequence of" losses sustained by them in the Baltic in 1807, under the following cir cumstances :—The expedition under Lord CATHCART and Admiral GAMBIER, in that year, ended in the bom bardment of Copenhagen and the seizure and confisca tion of 3.000,000/. of Danish property. Tha Danes re taliated by confiscating the property of British mer chants, whose claims for indemnification he advocated on the grounds that the English Government had misled the merchants by assuring them that they might safely send their goods to the Baltic; that at the time of the seizure of the property at Denmark there was an under standing on the partof England that she was not going to war with Denmark; that the act of the Danish Govern ment, in seizing the property, was one of mere reprisal; and that England had still in her hands 3,000,0001. of Danish property seized before a declaration of war, out of which indemnification ought to be made for a wrong done to individuals by the Government of this country for the benefit of the community. He moved a resolution that on Wednesday the House would resolve itself into a Committee to consider an address to her MAJESTY upon the subject of these claims. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, contending that the seizure had taken place during a state of war, and that consequently the claims were unfounded. Colonel SIBTHORP supported the motion, which, on a division, was negatived by 126 to 49. The House then went into Committee of Supply, Mr. BERNAL in the chair, and proceeded with the estimates for Civil Services, Civil Contingencies, and the Com missariat. The various orders of the day having been di s p ose d of, the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1851. itself is not so completely free from blame as to make it by any means clear that it is not legally as well as equitably bound to rcimburee the sufferers to the full extent of their losses. Such a liability was unquestionably established in the case of the Cuffe-street Savings Bank. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, while acknowledging the propriety of the demand, with that peculiar littleness of mind for which he is so remarkable, reduced the payment to about one-balf of that to which the claimants were entitled, thus setting the first example of national breach of faith by compromising debts fairly due by the country. There is a dilemma from which the Right Honourable Baronet cannot escape, on one or the other of the horns of which he must neces sarily be tossed. The claim of the Cu.ffe street depositors was either well-founded or not ? If well-founded, what could be more discreditable than for the Government to com pel them to accept a composition of 103. in the pound, to exercise its power for such a purpose, substituting " might for right." But if the reverse— if the grant of 30,000/. to those persons was a mere act of charity, arising from compassion for their suffer ings, had not the Tralee and Killarney, the Roch dale and Scarborough depositors equal claims to the favourable consideration of the country ? By resist ing the motion of Mr. HERBERT for an address to her MAJESTY, praying that she would be graciously pleased to extend the same measure of relief to the depositors in the banks above alluded to, that had been already ex tended to the Cuffe-street depositors, Sir CHARLES WOOD has afforded the best evidence that the claim was well-founded, and has thus reflected an indelible stain on the national honour and integrity. Up to the year 1844 there was adequate security afforded to all persons investing their savings in these institutions. The Government was responsible for all moneys placed in the hands of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, while the trustees and managers, who were invariably persons of sufficient solvency to make good any possible loss that might arise, were liable for any stoppage in transitu, or fraud, or malversation, on the part of their servants. By the 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 83, it was, however, provided that no trustee or manager should be liable to make good any deficiency which might thereafter arise in the funds of any savings bank, unless they had declared by writing under their hands, and .deposited with the Commis sioners for the reduction of the National Debt , that they were willing so to b e li a bl e , or ' they might limit their responsibility to such sum as should be specified in such instrument. From the moment that this ill-advised and impolitic enactment received the Royal assent, all security for future de positors was practically withdrawn. It was by no means probable that any trustees would take active measures to incur heavy personal responsibilities. The persons who were likely to become depositors had no means of ascertaining whether any, and which of the trustees had assumed any, and what amount of liability. And while they were deluded with the idea that they bad the security of the nation, or at least of the nume rous influential gentlemen of undoubted solvency whose names induced them to place implicit confidence in the stability of the concern, they were awakened from their dream by discovering that they had neither one nor the other, and that they themselves would be the innocent victims of the crassa negligentia of the trustees and of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. The most ordinary care must have shown the parties whose duty it was to inspect the accounts, which were required by Parliament to be lodged with the Commissioners, that some gross fraud was being perpetrated. For instance, in the statement furnished by the actuary of the Killarney Bank, for the year ending November, 1844, it was stated that there were 129 depositors above 501. and not ex ceeding 1001., and that the gross sum to their credit WAS 6,1251. 6s. 4d., whereas if each man had only the minimum amount of 501. to his credit it must have amounted to 6,4501. at the very least. And, in like manner, that twenty-six de positors of 1001., and not exceeding 1501., had to their credit 2,4091. ss. 6d., when it could not by a possibility be less than 2,6001. To show the advo cates for a Government audit of railway accounts the advantages to be derived from such an interference with the shareholders' rights, we may add that this absurd statement passed muster, and that similar freaks were attempted in each successive year, until we find, in 1847, the actuary returning that 41 depositors of 1001., and not exceeding 1501., had to their credit the gross sum of 1,3511. 18s. 2d. l) when it could not by any possibility be less than 4,1001. If any private person so shamefully neglected the duty imposed on him he would unquesti9ably be considered liable for the losses occasioned by what must be considered his wilful default. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, refuses to sanction the claims put forward, and, for the honour of the House of Com- mons, we regret to say that he obtained a ma jority of 7 against the motion of Mr. HERBERT. We commend these cases to the consideration of every man of probity and integrity in the country, and ask whether it is conduct befitting the minister of a mighty nation ? and what effect will it have on the general body of depositors when it is known that this session, as well as the last, has been suffered to elapse witbout anything being done to amend the laws relating to savings banks, or to give increased security to the depositors ? OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received a telegraphic dispatch from Mar. seilles to the following effect : " Tbe Indian mail, which left Bombay on the 26th of May, has arrived at Marseilles. " A terrific typhoon occurred at Ceylon on the Ist of May, and at Madras on the sth. Nearly 20 vessels were lost, amongst which is the Falkland steamer. " There is no other news of importance. " The sales of cotton were brisk, at reduced prices." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,.. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The .Nationel has the following on the election of M. DE TOCQUIVILLE as reporter to the Committee of revision : This result caused a considerable sensation in the Assembly. The Bonapartists and the Legitimatists, who more or less openly l ean t owar d s t h e E lye 62, after MM. Berryer and Fslloux, were far from expecting such a result; they tipper( dto be literally cast down. It was the general subject of conversation in the lobbies and on the benches of tie Assembly. M. de Broglie considered himself sure of the majority, and M. Barrot felt no doubt as to obtaining it bit/melt ; M. de Montalembert enter tained some sligit hopes, and the Elysee firmly reckoned that it would be one of these three faithful cham pions of the re•eiection of M. Bonaparte, who would be chosen by the Cinireittee. Never was there a greater disappietment. In the discussions which had taken place in the Committee during the last fortnight, M. de Tocque ville has constantly declared that be would not con sent to revision except in the strictest constitutional forms; that the revisionist petitioning was, for the most part, the result of administrative influence; that the As sembly ought to come to a resolute determination to strenuously oppose any unconstitutional candidateship, and to take measures to punish severely all those who should be the promoters of it ; he also declared that he would not accept the revision in the interest and for the strengthening the Republic. It may, therefore, be con ceived that revisionist as he is, M. de Tocqueville will be a very disagreeable reporter for those who only wish for the revision as an implement of war against the Re public and the Constitution." The following is the 111th Article of the Consti tution, in conformity with which the Committee has expressed a desire for the revision : When in the last year of a legislature the Assembly shall have expressed a wish that the Constitution shall be revised, either wholly or in parr, that revision shall be proceeded to in the following manner:—The wish expressed by the Assembly shall only be converted into a definitive resolution atter three consecutive delibera tions, taken each at one month's interval, and by three fourths of the votes expressed. The number of voters shall be at least 500. The Assembly of revision shall only be named for three months. It shall only occupy itself with the revision for which it has been convoked. Nevertheless it may, in case of need, provide for legis lative necessities." The Committee on the Paris and Avignon Rail way Bill held on Wednesday an important sitting. It decided that the State should continue the two lines from Chalons to Lyons, and trom Lyons to Avignon. Seventy-three millions were to be devoted to the continuation of the works, which sum was to be chatgeable on the estimates of 1851 and 1852. The Committee recommends that a sum of twenty -five millions only shall be expended this year out of the amount of seventy-five millions, two-thirds of which shall be applied to the line from Chalons to Vaise, and one-third to that from Lyons to Avignon. The sums necessary for the construction of these two lines to be recovered by means of an issue of bonds, the interest on which shall vary at the decision of the Minister of Filiance, but can never rise beyond 51 per gent. The Committee on the Budget will be called on to declare itself on this financial question. The Bourse was more firm than on Wednesday. There was not, however, much business transacted except in Railroad Shares. The Five per Cents. opened at 92f. 70c., and closed at 931. 10c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 50.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 850 f.; Rouen, 6421. 50c.; Havre, 246 f. 25c; Great Northern, 4871. 50c.; Avignon, 215.; Vierzon, 460`.; Basle, 1511. 25c.; Bordeaux, 4001.; Paris and Strasburg, 3711. 25c.; Tours and Nantes,27sf. ; eOttEIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 26.

J., tr..' 'Sr , 0 1 -1, 7.11, -p T U Tke stales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranbam at 61c1. to lid , 100 Bahia at 61d. to 6V., 100 Egytian at 62d. to 741. and 300 Sarat at 3d. to 4id. per lb. The market closed flatly, and American were id. per lb. lower than on Friday last. Other sorts were without material alteration.—Railway Shares were exceedingly dull, and at lower prices. More firmness has been apparent this week in the markets for Produce, and Sugar has been dearer. A better demand is expected next week, when a reduction of duties will take place. Coffee likewise has been some what firmer. Tea at the recont decline attracts more attention, and the trade are dk:ios , d to go into moderate stock. The stock of Tea is 39,230,000 lbs. in London, and 12 825,6001b5. in Li.erpuol, against 36.011,000 and 8,600.000 lbs. at the correqonding date of last year. The deliveries this year have been 25 974 000 lbs. in the two ports named, against 25,181,000 lbs. at the corresponding period of 1850. The imports have been 47,000,000 lbs. against 31,700,000 lbs. on the 16th of June, 1850. Cotton has been better supported, and sells steadily. Tallow has been steady. There are no arrivals with news of any interest. From Amsterdam, under date of the 25th instant, we are in formed that the Stock Market bad not varied. In Spa nish Bonds a fair business was done. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. were 58k. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is returned at 395. 4d. per quarter. The number of quarters sold last week was 92,905 quarters. There is apparently much ease in the Money Market, and the feeling is buoyant, so that parties begin to look forward to a steady improvement in all Securities, and possibly to greater activity in trade. This, how ever, is not a period of the year whe❑ business in the wholesale departments is expected to be brisk, though shortly there witl be preparations for the autumn trade. As to Securities, it is somewhat surprising, that with money so abundant, and with increasing arrivals of specie, they have not, in several instances, improved ere this, instead of being so unwarrantably depressed. There may be railways which in proportion to their dividend are sufficiently high, but this is not the case with all. The Broomsgrove Bank of Mr. Rufford has suspended payment, but its liabilities are small. A member of a large West-end firm has also appeared in the Gazette, and is understood to be a heavy loser on shares. The Canada Company had a meeting yesterday, and declared the usual dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, besides having a good surplus. The settlers on the company's estates are represented to be all doing well, and iu num-rous cases have paid for their lands long bef ire the time stipulated. The Funds are buoyant, and the improvement since yesterday morning is / per cent. The value of Consols is 96i to 97k. The Bank returns to appear in the Gazette this evening will, it is stated, be of a most satisfsetory character. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have realised 981 to 1. and the ThrFe per Cents. 971 Cu Exchequei-billy have improved ls., being 44.. t 475. premium. East India Bunda have been at 535. to 675. premium. . . _ The Foreign Securities have been better. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 21 to i; and the Coupons have been done at 81. The Three per Cents. are 401; Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 331 to 34. The Mexican Stock is worth 34i to 1. the Chilian Bonds are at 65. Russian Stock is 113* to 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 60 ii. The ac count is going off satisfactorily. Railway Shares are bettor upon the settlement, and there is an improvement in some instances of 11. to 21. on the heavy shares, and even of 11. on the lighter de scriptions, such as East Lancashire. That shares have been greatly beared, we still believe. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols Shut. Ditto Account ... 97h. ex div. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. ( From the I)fficial List.) 8 "er Cant.

A very moderate supply of English Wheat has ar rived in the port of London during the present week, viz., 1 ; 970 quarters. By land-carriage the receipts fresh up to this morning's market were small, but in excellent condition. Owing to the pressure of foreign Flour our millers purchased all kinds of Wheat of home produce with extreme caution, but wo have no change to notice in the prices of Monday. Nearly 19,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week, mostly from the westward. Selected qualities of both Red and White sold slowly, at full currencies. In the middling and inferior parcels exceedingly little was doing. About 12,000 quarters afloat off Falmouth sold at previous rates. Not a single parcel of English Barley was on show, but the supply of Foreign amounted to 8,880 quarters. The Barley trade ruled null, yet prices were supported. Malt, the arrivals of which were good, moved off slowly, at late figures. The total supply of Oats was not large, and a moderate business was transacted at Monday's decline. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour witlaou alteration. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Malt. Oats. Wheat. Barley. Flour Q ra . Qrs. Qrs. 5,040 1Q,3 40 1,780 rs.

JURED FIREMAN AT GUY'S HOSPITAL. This morning, at an early hour, the inmates of Philip Ward, in Guy's Hospital, were thrown into•a state of considerable alarm, through the extraordinary and violent conduct of Edward Birch, the engineer from Tooley-street station, who received such serious injury at the great fire in Montaguo•close on Monday even ing last. It appears that the unfortunate man had been pro gressing 'say favourably since his admission, under the care of Messrs. Pavey and Collingwood, the resident house surgeon, and on Thursday night seemed quite calm, but at two o'clock this morning one of the nurses heard a breaking of glass. She went to where Birch had been sleeping, and found him in his night dress in the act of making his escape by one of the windows. Several panes of glass were broken and his hands and arms were most fearfully cut with his efforts to get out of the ward. The nurse called the sister, who came to her assistance and endeavoured to get the poor fellow into bed, but be ran to the fireplace and seized the poker, which he brandished about, telling them he would leave the place or slay them. Fortunately two night watchmen and the surgeons entered the ward, and se cured him from committing any further violence by strapping him down to the bedstead. The surgeon informed the reporter that very slight hopes were entertained of his recovery, for delirium tremens of a strong character had supervened, together with the additional wounds on the hands, which render the case almost hopeless. The poor man still remains in a state of insanity, and exclaims at intervals, " My wife, my wife." He also wishes to leave the hospital, as his services are required at the ruins of the late fire. This day et noon a large number of the brigade men and auxiliaries were engaged in throwing water into the ruins, which are still smouldering. We understand that Mr. Roney has resigned the Secretaryship of the Eastern Counties Railway, which he has held for some years with great credit to himself and much benefit to the company. CABINET COUNCIL (THIS DAY).—A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office this afternoon at two o'clock. Present—Lord John Russell, the Mai quis of Lans downe, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Broughton de Gyfford, Earl of Minto, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Palmer ston, Earl Grey, the Chancelh r of the Exchequer, Sir George Grey, Sir P. T. Baring, and the Right Hon. Labouchere. Mr. Fox Maule continues indisposed and unable to attend the meetings of the Cabinet.

Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived. The debate on the vote declaring confidence in the Ministry commenced in the Spanish Chamber of Lit,- puties on the 20th. Id. MonENo LOPEZ attacked the general policy of the Cabinet, and specially denounced its interference in the elections. When he concluded the debate was adjourned. In the sitting of the 21st the discussion was resumed. M. HERREEA, the de puty for Peneranda, whose election had been particu larly alluded to during the previous debate, warmly defended the validity of the proceedings connected with his return. The discussion was again adjourned. The French squadron left Cadiz on the 16th. A new war steamer, Isabel la Catolica, built in England for the Spanish Government, had arrived in that port. She is intended to carry the mails to the Antilles.

A letter from Munich, of the 20th, says : " The late conferences at Warsaw and Olmutz have effected an essential change in the position of Bavaria towards the Confederation. The isolated and exclusive proceedings of the Cabinet of Vienna are calculated to lead Bavaria to disengage herself from the influence of Austria, and to assert her independence. It is said she has the intention to form a closer alliance with the secon dary states to repel more forcibly the encroachments of the great powers." The Indipendance or Brussels says " The news from Germany has for some days past been devoid of interest. We have, however, received some intermation as to the anxiety felt by the northern courts with respect to the conferences of Warsaw and Ohnutz. It was, it appears, by mistake that it was stated that the conferences were a sort of menace against France, the re newal of an alliance with a view to aggression. The Cabinet of Vienna has sent a note to its diplomatic agents, explaining the object of the conference. It is now also said that M. de Nesselrode has kent a note to the agents of Russia in foreign countries, calculated to prevent any susceptibility on the part of France, and stating that the interview between the Emperor of Rus sia and the King of Prussia at Warsaw was caused by their very natural desire to renew their friendly inter course as relatives, which the events or 1848 had some what cooled; and the Emperor's interview with the Em peror of Austria at Olmulz was merely a return for the visit which the Austrian Emperor had paid him. That, however, there was some conversation on politics in these interviews is very probable; but we are assured that they were only on the propriety of the German States coming to au understanding and remaining united, in order to combat more efficaciously the demagogical party." A change is to take place in the command of the Austrian troops in Holstein. General LEG EDITSCH will be succeeded by General SCHOTT. RUS&IA. Information has been received at Hamburgh of an extensive conflagration in the Russian city of Arch angel. The foreign merchants' quarter was almost entirely consumed, and severe losses are entailed upon the insurance offices of St. Petersburgh. ITALY. The Paris Univers publishes a letter from Rome of the 20th, which states that the French garrison in that city its to be increased by 1,500 men more. It adds that General GEmEatt having demanded, in con sequence of the Papal Government the occupation of several military posts, the latter has granted some, but refused others, among which the Collegio Ro mano and the Pontifical Palace of the Quirinal. The writer expresses a hope that this refusal will lead to no serious misunderstanding. The Austrians have advanced to Otricoli. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Queen has sig nified her gracious intention of visiting her Majesty's Theatre in state on Saturday, July 5, when the general public will have an opportunity of displaying their loyalty and enthu siasm, it being, according to custom, an extra night. The arrangements for the reception of her Majesty will be on a scale of unprecedented splendour and magnificence. Several boxes wi l be taken to form one capacious state box for the Queen, the great officers of state, and the Court retinue. The evening is expected to be one of the most imposing re membered in the annals of her Majesty's Theatre. HEAT OF THE WEATHER.—Yesterday, at the Humane Society's Receiving-house, Hyde-park, the thermo meter at noon stood at 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and at 102 Fahrenheit in the sun. The oppressive heat proved very destructive to the omnibus cattle—in the course of the day several dropped down from exhaustion, and had to be killed. The Public Laths and Wash-houses were lite terally besieged, and numbers had to be refused from want of room. It is calculated that at least 7,000 persons bathed in the Serpentine last evening; and the Humana Society had extra boats out to prevent accident. THE lax n CENSUS.—Very gloomy reports are in circulation respecting the fearful decline of the Irish people, which will be made manifest by the forthcoming official re turns of the Census Commissioners. It is stated on an au thority which ought to be deemed competent, that these re turns will show that the population of Ireland in the year 1851 is about the same as it stood in 1821, just 30 years back—a result scarcely credible, even making full allowance for the recent ravages of famine and pestilence, and the pro digious tide of emigration which has been rolling on for the last four or five years. A MAN FOUND DROWNED, WITH HIS THROAT CUT AND SKULL FRACTURED.—O n the 18th instant the body of a man was found in the river Thames, near the village of Chertsey, with his throat fearf u ll y cu t an d hi s s k u ll frac tured. He appeared about forty-five years of age, five feet ten inches high. Was dressed in a dark cloth jacket. grey cloth waistcoat, dark ribbed cloth trousers, dark silk neck tie, coloured shirt. To his pocket was found a red and white silk handkerchief marked " P.S." in red cotton, and a buck handled penknife. A surgeon, after au examiLation, gave it as his opinion that the skull had been fractured after death, and from the direction in which the throat was cut he was led to believe that the man had first cut his own throat, and afterwards precipitated himself into the river, , and a jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. THE LAW CHANGES IN SCOTLAND.—We learn that Mr. George Deas is to succeed Mr. John Cowan as Solicitor- General, and that the vacancy thereby created in the Sheriff ship of Ross and Cromarry, which Air. Deas has only held for a short time, is to be ripplied by the appointment of Mr. Thomas Itaelterzie.—Scotsman. SlUrrilrlELD. Our market today was toierably well supplied with Beasts, considering the prevailing h ot weather. All kinds, as the attendance of buyers was small, moved off slowly, at prices barely equal to th ose o b tained on Mon day, and at which a fair cle arance was effected. The supply of Sheep was good, b o th as to number and qua lily, whilst the Mutton trade was inactive, but we have n o decline to notice in the quotations. Lambs, the number of which was seasonably large, were slow in stile, at about last week's decline in value. We had on sale 150 from the Isle of Wight. The supply of Calves being very extensive, the Veal trade was heavy, at a fall in prices of quite 21 per 81bs. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Mulch Cows sold at from 141 to 181 each, including their small Galf. Per Blbs. to Math° offal.

The arguments in this cause relating to the prebendary of Wivelscumbe ' which occupied fiv e o r s i x d a y s i n last term, and which was adjourned over to the sittings after term, were rerun:llo this morning. GREEN WICH ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) The polling commenced this morning at the usual hour, and each party seemed so far to have marshalled their forces that up to nine o'clock the numbers were very nearly equal. It is almost needless to remark that Greenwich, Woolwich, and Deptford have been in a state of commotion the whole of the day, but the Salo mons party were the most conspicuous for their display of enihusia,m, and no available point throughout the length and breadth of the extensive district embraced by the borough was allowed to remain unoccupied by their colours. The two candidates themselves, accompanied by their proposers and seconders, and seated in open landaus, filled up the time by driving from one polling station to another, or visiting some snug retreat where their reserves were kept in readiness. Returns of the state of the poll were hourly exhibited at the head-quarters of the candidates; but of course there were discrepancies between the two, and we there fore give the figures returned by both sides, which were as follows: NINE O'CLOCK. WIRE. Majority for Salo- SALOMON. Salomons 282 I Salcmons ............... 321 Wire Wi re Majority for Wire —8 mons - - TEN O'CLOCK. Salomons 644 I Salomon! Wire 616 1 Wire Majority for Salo- ..-- mons . ELEVEN O'CLOCK. Salomons 875 1 Salomons ............... 947 731 I Wire Wire . . Majority for Salomons 144 TWELVE Majority ............ 168 O'CLOCK. Sulomons ............ 1,123 Wire .................. 878 No return. I Majority 'CLOCK. I Salomona 1 Wire ONE WI No return. Majority for Salomons 364 The town was perfectly quiet. A rumour had got abroad that Mr. Wire contemplated retiring from the contest soon after two o'clock, if the majority against him was then increased; though, on the other hand, this was met by a vague statement that certain influences were likely to be brought to bear at Woolwich that would materially alter the position of affairs.• On the whole, however, people, generally speaking, seem to have made up their minds that the result would be de cidedly in favour of Sslemons. THE VACANT GEEEN RIBBON.—The green rib bon of the Order of St. Andrew,: vacant by the demise of Lord Melville, will, it is expected, bp conferred upon the Duke of Argyll.—Scotsnztu. INDISPOSITION OF LORD MEDWTN.—Lord Med wyn has been unable to take his place in the serxd division of the Court of Session for some days from indisposition, but we understand tbat his Lordship was somewhat better yesterday.—Edinburgh Witness of Wednesduy.
