It has been definitively decided, at least by the Cabinet of the Tuileries, that the passage of the Pruth will be regarded by France as a violation of the compact of 1841, and that, considered thus in the light of a casus belli, it must unavoidably lead to a conflict between the forces of the Czar and the armaments of the rest of the principal potentates of Christendom. There is much ques tion, it would unhappily appear, whether the English Coalition Government is prepared to adopt the same energetic line of proceeding as that sketched out for himself with an iron and inflexible determination by the Emperor NAPOLEON for the guidance of the Imperial .A d ministrators of France. It is hinted, indeed, that the Earl of ABERDEEN—compelled for once to abandon his old subserviency to the Court of St. Petersburgh and to yield to the resolute policy of his quondam rival, now his incongruous col league, Viscount PALMERSTON—it is hinted, we say, that the Earl of ABERDEEN, though ready to consent to support the DIVAN in the rejection of the Russian ultimatum by diplomatic repre sentations, nay, even by despatching our mari time armament in the Mediterranean as far as the Channel of the Dardanelles, and even be yond the little intermediate sea of Marmora to the waters of Constantinople, is, nevertheless, " at bay," inasmuch as he refuses to regard - as an actual casus belli the Russian occupation of the Danubian Principalities 1 So at least—on dit ! So at least—it is rumoured England, accord ing to these lamentable reports, is even now vascil lating as to the precise limits of her policy in refer ence to the dispute now pending between the SULTAN and the AUTOCRAT. Forthwith, however, we must be permitted to declare at once, and in the most ex plicit language, that we consider all insinuations to this effect as in every particular incredible. It is altogether beyond our belief at any rate that any British Ministry—no matter what its ap parent lack of principle—should reveal at such a moment, at such a crisis, and under such circumstances—this wholly unparalleled pusil lanimity. Besides which, the Coalition is pledg e d to a complete identity of views in regard to this Eastern Question between the Mi nisterial Councils at Paris and at London, be tween the Courts of St. James's and the Tuileries, between the ruling statesmen of France and Eng land, the political advisers of are solemnly pledge T d o this before and the Emperor NAPOLEON. Queen VICTORIA repeat, they cothuers:ollwne try and before Parliament. As g ua rantees, we may re f er t o th e explanatio ns recently given the Com mons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and to the Peers by the Earl of CLARENDON. As additional asittr purpose, we may point anc es to the same to the reluctant avowals of the Times, and to th e 7 y i n timations of the Moniteur. eager and manly Added to which, instructions, we all know by this time, have been forwarded simultaneously to the French and Britigh.A.mbauadQrs at Constantinople, empowering them to commend the immediate as sistance of the SULTAN and his Divan by the com bined fleets in the Mediterranean. England, then, has obviously identified her policy in re ference to Turkey with the policy adopted in that matter by the French Imperial Government. That policy the world is conscious will prove one worthy of the occasion in every particular—be cause the Chief of the State has spoken only very recently in terms so bold, so explicit, and so mag nanimous through that memorable article in the Pays signed by the Viscount de la GUERRONIERE. France will not consent—whatever may be thought of the pusillanimity of Lord ABER DEEN --- France will not consent to tarnish her laurels by dragging them through the dust of paltry concessions to the ambition of the AUTOCRAT. France would not consent to this, we believe, at any time—for such is not in the haughty spirit of her independence—but more especially and more peculiarly she will never con sent to a course so mean and so utterly despi cable now that her councils are presided over by the daring and resolute intellect of the Third NA POLEON. Neither will England ! We proclaim it confidently—neither will Eng land ! We assert it to be our conviction that, supposing it were at all possible (which we cannot for an instant credit) that Ministers could so monstrously betray their trust, as to yield to the occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Cossacks, without regarding the passage of the Pruth by Russian troops, as an open declaration of hostilities on the part of his Majesty the Em peror NICHOLAS—the result would be the abrupt downfall of the Coalition Government. A down fall complete and instantaneous, one brought about by the outbreak of a wide-spread and truly national indignation. Down would go " all the talents"—down would go Whigs, and Peelites, and Conservative Radicals, and Radical Conservatives ! Not HUMPTY-DUMPTY himself would ever have had such a fall, as would inevitably have in such a contingency each Member of the strong and stable Coalition ! That contingency —a yielding at the eleventh hour to the insolent advance of Northern Absolutism, a return to the old-wife's policy of the dear and excellent ABERDEEN, an abandonment of the chivalrous views of PALMERSTON, a timorous permission of the passage of the Pruth, an abject consent to the Russian occupation of the Danubian Princi palities. No 1 We cannot credit for a single instant the possibility of any such disastrous show of weak ness on the part of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government. We cannot believe that the honour and glory of England will be so far disgraced by the vacillating councils of any Administration— what though it be an Administration presided over by a worn-out Foreign Secretary transformed into the nominal (but only into the nominal) Chief of the Coalition. An entire accord is un derstood to exist between the views held upon this Eastern Question by the French and British Governments. Therefore we count upon the calm and resolute development of a policy of resistance to the ambition of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Therefore we look forward to the continued support, at all hazards, of the valiant course pursued, under alarming circumstances, by the Divan at Constantinople. We look for all this in the future—all this is looked for by the vast majority of our fellow-countrymen. Eng land expects, the people of England expect, that under this great emergency the Coalition will acquit itself manfully of its responsibilities, or that it will make way for more competent and more courageous Administrators. England, in other words, expects not only that Lord STRA TFORD DE REDCLIFFE be empowered to send for theßritish Fleet in the Mediterranean—not only that our maritime armaments in conjunction with those of France shall proceed, if required, through the channel of the Dardanelles to the inner channel of the Bosphorus—but that under any and every circumstance the crossing of the Pruth by the Cossacks shall be regarded as a casus belly,--that the actual commencement of hostilities shall date from the !Russian occupation of the Danubian Principalities. Personalities are dangerous weapons. Like Australian boomerangs, they are apt to turn back upon those by whom they are launched forth, and unless very skilfully used, more frequently injure the assailants than the assailed. Indeed, it often happens that the party attacked is materially benefitted. Public sympathy is strongly exerted in his favour. An opportunity for full and com plete vindication is afforded. He is listened to with attention and indulgence, while not only distinguished friends, but honourable and high minded opponents bear flattering testimony to his character and conduct. The wanton and virulent aggressions that strike not at a party, but at an individual, the only possible result whereof can be an injury to the feelings of the man, not to the position of the Minister, carry with them their own condemnation and their own remedy. The poison is attended by its antidote. The case of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Soli citor-General for Ireland, which has attracted so so much attention and occupied so much time during the past week, affords a striking illustra tion of the accuracy of these views. Nothing more beneficial to himself could have occurred, and he may well feel proud of the result of the discussions, which were not provoked by him or his friends. As Lord DERBY stated in the House of Lords, there " have been very few cases in which so many collateral issues had been joined to mystify the consideration of Parliament." First, came the " rusty bolt drawn from the battered quiver" of a Noble Lord, which might safely have been . disregarded, had it not been followed by more pointed shafts, aimed by more vigorous hands. The accusations brought forward by the Marquis of WESTMEATH as to the exact meaning of words used in the heat of an election contest by an able and energetic opponent, who naturally dama , ed the prospects of the candidate supported by the Noble Marquis, would be sufficiently answered by the disclaimer of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, without taking into account the evidence of a highly respectable solicitor, Mr. M‘NEvirr, who "heard every sentence uttered clearly and distinctly," and who was ready to make oath that Mr. KEOGH "had never made use of the improper language attributed to him, or anything that could bear that or a similar inter pretation." Unfortunately, however, the matter was not permitted to rest there ; the charge was followed up by two Noble Lords of high standing and position. One of whom, the ex-Premier, spoke of the appointment of Mr. KEOGH as a very unfortunate one, while the Earl of EGLINTON, who had filled the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, declared that it was " the least reputable made by the Government." This was language imperatively demanding notice. Mr. KEOGH, who was present, having accidentally heard at a quarter past five in the evening that his name would be called in ques tion, communicated to the Duke of NEWCASTLE, by whom it was repeated to the House, the fact, that on the change of Government in 1852, and before the Ministerial arrangements had been com pleted, he was asked by Lord NAAS, who had then been nominated to the Chief Secretaryship of Ire land, although it was still doubtful whether he would _eventually fill th a t s it ua ti on, " w h e th er l ie (M r . Kzoa u accept ) would office under the Earl of ligit 'v•" If this statement had been well founded i t was manifest that the parties were completely " estoppw , from complaining of an a~rr.ro~ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1853. appointment which they themselves would have sanctioned as being either " unfortunate " or " disreputable," and some curiosity was exhi bited as to the answer to the assertion. Lord DERBY declared that he had heard "it put about that a certain offer had been made, and he had lost no time in authorising every person who might hear that, to state on the authority of the Noble Earl that he did not know, nor had lie ever authorised, nor did he then believe that any such offer, proposition, suggestion, or hint, was ever made to Mr. KEOGH." This startling discrepancy between the state ments—this exproess and unqualified contradiction —left no alternative to Mr. KEOGH. His cha racter as a gentleman depended on the vin dication of his veracity—on rebutting the charge of mendacity that had been more than hinted against him, on showing that he had reasonable grounds for the assertions made on his authority. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman exhibited the utmost promptitude in bringing the dispute to a speedy and satisfactory issue. Temperately, but firmly, he wrote to Lord NAAS, recalling every circumstance to his recol lection, putting forward distinctly that the Noble Lord had stated that, "he had been directed to ask whether Mr. KEOGH would accept office under Lord DERBY," and that on being pressed to state on whose authority he put the question, adding that "it was at Major BERESFORD'S desire, and that he was in communication with Lord DERBY." As further evidence of the accuracy of his recol lection, Mr. KEOGH alluded to the circumstance of his having been remonstrated with by the Gallant Major, for the opposition he had offered to Lord DERBY'S Government, inasmuch as he (Mr. KEOGH) had been asked to take office by Lord NAAS, and that he (Major BERESFORD) felt the hostility the more, as he was the person who had spoken to Lord DERBY in re ference to his name. This letter, so im peratively demanding a speedy answer, was forwarded to the Carlton Club on Friday evening ; but Saturday, Sunday, and Monday were suffered to elapse without any notice being taken of the communication. On Monday another letter was written, entreating a speedy reply ; but it was not until midday on Tuesday that a very brief and curt reply was forwarded, in which the Noble ex-Secretary made the following unequivocal statement—" I distinctly deny, that, either di rectly or indirectly, I made an offer of office to yourself or to any of yowr friends, or that I had, or that I assumed I had, authority from, any one so to do." This certainly, when coupled with the statement to which it purported to be an answer, could only be considered as an express denial—not as a paltry evasion of the real question—as a direct " traverse," not as a " confession and avoidance. Mr. KEOGH said—" You asked me, would I take office." I inquired on whose authority you put the question. You answered, "By Major BERES FORD'S desire, and that he was in communication with Lord DERBY." The answer we have given above, and surely ne person of ordinary intelli gence would receive it as other than a direct ne gative, or suppose that it was meant to shift the ground to a denial that the asking, " would Mr. KEOGH accept office at the desire of Major BERES FORD," was tantamount to an offer of office on the authority of the Right Hon. Gentleman. This impression was strengthened and confirmed by the unseemly haste with which a public denial was given in the House of Lords to the assertion of Mr. KEOGH, on the authority of Lord NAAS, and that without the explanation that would show that there were grounds for misapprehension —that it was not altogether a gratuitous false hood, without the slightest foundation in fact ; nay, more, so determined were they in having the authorised contradiction put forward without a moment's delay, that contrary to that spirit of fair play which is so dear to every British heart, and of which we should have supposed that the Noble Earl would have been the most unflinching advocate, there was a positive refusal t• postpone that authorised denial, for a single day, until Mr. KEOGH could have had the opportunity of giving his explana tion in the other branch of the Legislature simul taneously, and the bane and antidote could be administered together. What, then, turned out to be the case after all ? Why, a virtual admission of the accuracy of Mr. KEOGH'S statement. We need not the corroborating evidence as to the eager seeking after the Hon. and Learned Gentleman at the Reform Club and elsewhere, nor the conversation in the train with Mr. O'FLAHERTY. We may accept Lord NAAS'S own version, and in it we find ample justification for every assertion put forward by, or on behalf of, the Irish Solicitor- General or his friends. The Noble Lord says— " I asked the Hon. and Learned Gentleman— never thinking that the question would become an engine of aggression to damage my character(!) --(why surely it was the character of Mr. KEOGH that was attempted—most fruitlessly and un availing attempted to be damaged)—l asked him this simple question—" If office had been offered to you under the new Government, would you or your friends have accepted it ?" The Hon. Gentleman, in answer, said—" I think, after all that had occurred after the part I and my friends have taken in the overthrow of the late Government some such offer might have been made." Surely this might have shown any person of ordinary intelligence and ordinary com prehension, and Lord NAAS is by no means defi cient in either the one or the other, the sense in which Mr. KEOGH understood, and naturally un derstood the interrogatory ; and even if any doubt could be entertained on the subject, it would be removed by the subsequent question, " whether any person in authority knew of or had authorised him to ask the question put to him," and the answer, " As you ask me the ques tion, I will tell you that Major BERESFORD knew of my asking the question." And yet with these facts fresh on his memory, with the knowledge that Major BERESFORD had, according to the statement of that Right Hon. and Gallant Gen tleman, remonstrated with Mr. KEOGH in the lobby of the House of Commons, and inquired " whether he had not received through Lord NAAS a kindly and friendly communication from himself." Why, what paltry quibbling, unworthyan Old Bailey practitioner. What special pleading is this, that is deliberately put forward on the part of a Noble Lord and a Right Honour able Gentleman. What was the plain and obvious meaning of their words? What rational doubt could be entertained as to the interpretation of the proposition, without an insult to these gentle men. Few persons can hesitate in the opinion that there was either a distinct and positive offer of office, or a highly discreditable attempt to obtain support under false pretences. We leave the parties to take their choice as to which horn of the dilemma they prefer. Suffice it to say, that the shafts have recoiled, and with terrific force on the assailants, and that Mr. KEOGH may well rejoice at the high and honour able tribute paid to his character and conduct by Mr. DISRAELI, whose speech on the occasion is deserving of the highest praise, and affords a marked contrast to that of some of his late col leagues, by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and others. He has passed through the ordeal unscathed— his character stands higher than ever in the esti mation of the country. The Premier may indeed feel that if his was the most disreputable ap pointment made, he would have every reason t o b e satisfied with the composition of his Government ? AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCH MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter dam produce markets describe little activity in business. Coffee was maintained with firmness at previous quota tions. In raw sugar very few transactions had taken place, but contracts for refined had in some cases been accepted at lower rates. Rice and indigo remained steady ; tallow was on the average well supported. The accounts from Antwerp and Hamburg represent a similar position of trade. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures was heavy, the absence of pur chasers having caused an unfavourable reaction in prices. THE SOAP DUTIES. —Yesterday the bill to repeal the soap duties was printed. They are to be repealed from the sth July next. THE CAMP AT CIIOBITAM COMMON. GRAND REVIEW IN PRESENCE OF HER MAJESTY. CHOMIAM CAMP, THIS DAY, Half-past Twelve. At an early hour this morning the roads to the camp from all points were alive with every description of vehicles from the patrician's carriage down to the com paratively humble equipage of the perambulating green grocer. For miles, too, were to be observed lines of pedestrians toiling through a hilly line of country, and all bound for the camp. At five o'clock in the morn -V ing, a train nearly half a mile in length, left the Water. 100 station of the South-Western Railway, under the superintendence of Mr. Godson, the traffic manager, all being devoted to the conveyance of horses and carriages belonging to the nobility. At seven o'clock the first passenger train departed, and every half hour subse quently other trains containing hundreds of visitors were dispatched for the Chertsey station. The morning was cloudy at an early period, and ex cited fears that rain would mar the day's operations in the field, but at nine o'clock the atmosphere cleared, and the sun shone out most vigorously, and gave promise of certain fine weather. At ten o'clock exactly the camp, which presented a few minutes before an air of repose by no means indi cating the activity which was about to follow, were summoned by the bugle sound from head quarters, which being taken up from position to position, the whole army turned out simultaneously for parade. After being inspected by the commanders of each divi sion, the general order was sounded for the in fantry to fall into line. The order was carried out with mathematical precision, and from this time up to 11 o'clock, the army continued to stand at ease in line, not a movement, so far as the eye could detect with the aid of a telescope sweeping through the whole field, being observable. At this moment there could not have been less than thirty thousand persons on the ground, and the scene, without the slightest ex aggeration, may be said to have been one of the deepest interest. Carriages crowned the heights on the border of the field of operations, crowded with the most superbly-dressed ladies ; while on the plains below were • squadrons of equestrians of both sexes dashing about in search of openings for penetrating the camp, the en trances to which were most carefully barred by double guards. The cavalry were now, under the command of the Duke of Cambridge, ordered to saddle, the carrying out of which mandate did not occupy five minutes ; and next came the order to mount, which was obeyed with fault less precision. They were then inspected by General Lord Seaton, in conjunction with his Royal Highness, after which his lordship, as Commander-in-Chief of the encamped army, attended by a brilliant staff, rode past the lines, making the whole circuit of the encampment, even to the remotest outpost. It was now ten minutes past 11 o'clock, and every minute adding to the vast number on the ground before the crowds were eagerly gazing towards the Windsor road, across the encampment, in anxious expectation of her Majesty's approach. The Sovereign, ever to her time on all great public occasions where the interest of her subjects is enlisted, was not behind scarcely a minute the period fixed for the Royal presence, and just before the quarter-past eleven had struck an orderly rode up to the Commander communicating the fact of the Queen's approach at little more than the distance of s mile from comp. Lord Seaton at once ordered out a body guard of the Life Guards and Lancers to take up a position on the road leading directly to head quarters, and in a line with the Royal Pavilion. In less than a minute after the Guard of Honour had halted in position, the outriders to the Royal equipage dashed forward, followed at full gallop by the troops escorting her Majesty, and in a few minutes the Sovereign, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Royal suite, entered the lines of the encampment. A simultaneous sound of bugles passed the order for the Royal salute, and, as though by magic, the quiet that reigned for two hours before, was shaken by the thunder of artillery, added to which was the discharge of musketry throughout the whole line. When the firing ceased, the cheers from at least fifty thousand voices greeted the Royal ear during her Majesty's ad vance to the Pavilion, and which almost drowned the several bands who played the National Anthem. The Queen was received by General Lord Seaton and the Duke of Cambridge, who conducted the Sovereign, Prince Albert, and the other exalted personages to the Royal tent, where, after a few minutes stay, her Majesty again appeared upon the field, the entire troops present jag arms. The order was now given for the first evolution of the troops. The infantry closed up their extended lines and took position in close columns, and the cavalry having been formed four deep, wheeled to the right. The Guards received the order to advance across some broken ground, and take up a position at the base of a hill some six hundred yards from their former position. The other infantry regiments were directed to execute similar movements ; and, after all had taken up their positions, the rifles were ordered to move in columns, and then scatter themselves over the undulating ground, in skirmishing order, so that they might, as it were, cover by their fire the advance of the reconnoitre ing parties for the various divisions. It was a most in teresting movement on the part of these sable messen gers of death. Some might be seen in the distance, flat upon the ground and crawling like serpents on all fours, while others of them ran like rats from hillock to furze bush ; and as they continued to get over the ground, the naked eye failed to recognise anything of them—their presence being confounded with the short scrubby heath, so much in uniform with their attire. The Review was going on when our dispatch was sent eft SALE OF PAINTINGS BY TURNER.—Six pictures by this celebrated painter were sold yesterday at Messrs. Christie and Manson's, and realised altogether the sum of 4,6131.:—" Venice—evening ; going to a ball," ex hibited at the Royal Academy in 1846, sold for 5461.

SUDDEN DEATH.—During Divine Service at St. Bar nabas Church, Pimlico, on Sunday morning last, Mr. Thomas Bailey, of Aigburgh, near Liverpool, was at tacked by apoplexy for the third time. He was attended by Dr. Aldis, and although the usual means were imme- diately resorted to he expired in a few hours afterwards. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE REV. JOHN MAYOR, B.D.— The Rev. John Mayor, 8.D., of Lincoln College, Ox ford, and son of the celebrated Rev. Dr. Mayor, author of the Spelling Book, and many other popular works, was found dead on Sunday afternoon, in his cell, on the debtor's side of the Oxford County Gaol. An inquest was held on the body yesterday afternoon by Mr. Brimner, when it appeared that the deceased bad been confined in this gaol for debt for upwards of nine years : that he refused to receive the gaol allowance of food, and subsisted entirely on the bounty of his friends, who subscribed sums of money, which were doled out to him to procure what was necessary. He had for a long time laboured under illness, but in variably refused to see the medical attendant at the gaol, and has occasionally refused to touch any food for two or three days together. The medical officer, Mr. Wood, stated his belief that the deceased died from having fainted, not having the power of resuscitation, owing to his being reduced by obstinate abstinence. The deceased formerly held a living in Essex, worth about 3501. per annum ; but it was sequestered about 10 years ago to pay his debts, and had he lived until October next, it would have been cleared and restored to him. THE BELGIAN SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—It having been resolved that the opening of this new line of sub marine telegraph to Brussels should receive all the eclat which could be conferred upon it by its inaugura tion taking place at the office established in the House of Commons, and by the attendance at the ceremony of many of our nobility and distinguished public men, it was arranged by the Belgian Government that his Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant, accompanied by some of the Belgian Ministers, should attend at the office in Brussels for the purpose of presiding on the occasion. At about 2 o'clock the arrival of his Royal Highness at the bureau at Brussels was announced through the sub marine wires, and Lord de Manley acknowledged the communication. M. Drouet, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires to the British Government, who was present in London, then forwarded a congratulatory communi cation to Brussels to his Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant, and also to the Belgian Minister of Public Works upon this completion of a discovery characterised as being "rapid as our own thoughts." Lord W. Paulet, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, dispatched a communication to Lord Howard de Walden at Brussels, indicating his Royal Highness's re gret at his detention at Chobham Camp, and at his being unable to forward personally his congratulation upon the occasion. A short dispatch, in which Lord Stanley sent his compliments to Lord Howard de Walden, and to which an answer was received by Mr. Albert Evans in two minutes, was productive of great pleasure in con sequence of it so convincingly demonstrating the extreme rapidity with which the two capitals were brought in contact. The experiments throughout were attended with the most complete success. In addition to the completion of the cable and line to Brussels, Messrs. Friend and Hanill, the contractors for the company's subterranean telegraphs, have just effected the junction of the Birmingham with the m etropolis, and this line will be opened in a few days. They will then proceed rapidly with the continuation to Liverpool. BlGAMY.—Considerable gossip has taken place in the neighbourhood of Cheshunt during the week by the com mittal of a Mr. Thomas Digby Delamotte, brother of General Delamotte, a schoolmaster, of much repute in the district, on a charge of bigamy. The evidence which was adduced in support of the charge, showed that, in the month of June, he married a lady, named Sarah Martyn Farrant, who was very respectably con nected at Exeter. They did not live long together, and separated. In January last, ho united himself to a Miss Frances Seymour Feston, at St. Dunstan's Church, London ; and, his former partner being found to be alive, proceedings at once were taken against him. He was committed to Hertford county gaol, to await his trial at the next assizes. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE BERTON.-IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP QUESTION. This bankrupt had carried on business in Princes street, Hanover-square, and this day was appointed for consideration of the certificate, Mr. Mason appeared for the assignees, and said he had no opposition to offer on their behalf. Mr. Davis, as solicitor for a gentleman named Lons dales, opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt, with whom he had formerly been in partnership, had borrowed 1,6001. to carry on the business when he knew that he could not carry it on with success, as he soon after wards became bankrupt, and also that the part nership had been mutually dissolved, and a deed of assignment had been made to a trustee to receive the outstanding debts for the benefit of the partnership creditors—the bankrupt had collected moneys, and ap plied them to his own use. Mr. Lawrence admitted that those sums had been re ceived, but they had been applied to the legitimate pur poses of trade, and it was pending the negotiation for the execution of the deed. The bankrupt had truly in formed the creditors that he had received the money, and 1$ months was allowed him to iof it. He (Mr. Lawrence) had allowed Mr. Davis to urge his objections although that gentleman had no locus standi, for on his tenderinga proof, his Honor (Mr. CommissionerHolroyd) held that whilst there were any outstanding partnership solvent partner, who had retired, could not be allowed to prove against the private estate of a bank rupt partner. Another strong point in the bankrupts favour was that the trustee had failed to render any account, and it had been necessary to file a bill in Chan cery against him. His Honour said, it appeared to him from the evi dence that the bankrupt had not at all acted fraudu lently, it did not appear that he had made the slightest false statement ; on the contrary, it showed that he had endeavoured to do the best he could for his creditors, but had been unfortunate ; he was, therefore, entitled to an immediate certificate of the second class. SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) GRoss DEPRAVlTY.—Frederick Bell, a costermonger, was charged with violently assaulting Mary Bell, his wife. _ . The complainant stated that on the previous morning she went at her husband's request to see a female ac quaintance, at a lodging-house in Kent-street, and on her return in the evening he knocked her about in a frightful manner, and had not the police interfered she believed he would have murdered her. He was a brutal lazy fellow, and compelled her to go into the streets and gain money in an immoral way to keep him and their three children, for he would not work. Mr. A'Beckett said she was a disgraceful woman, and could have no excuse to do as she had stated, whatever might be his orders. The prisoner said she was a very bad woman, and had left him and the children to live with another malt. Complainant—Yes ; that was because you turned me out of doors, and what was I to do to maintain myself, but to seek the protection of another man. Mr. A'Beckett said he never heard a more depraved character in all his life. Had she any sense of her duty or morality she would have gone to work in an honest manner, and if her husband ill-uted her he could have been punished. His neglecting to main tain her would also render him liable to punishment, therefore, she had no excuse in living in such a disgust ing manner. However, her bad conduct would not allow the husband to behave like a ruffian, and it must have been a most disgusting state of mind in him to run after such a had woman. He could not allow one of fence to justify the other ; therefore he should fine him 405., and, in default of payment, commit him for one month. SUMMER ASSIZES. THE HOME CIRCUIT. As some very incorrect statements have been pub lished with regard to the days appointed for this circuit in the different counties, which may be productive of a good deal of inconvenience to jurors witnesses, &c., it may be necessary to state that the following are the ar rangements actually made : HERTS.—The commission will be opened on Wednes day, the 6th of July, and on the same day the criminal business will be proceeded with. The civil business will not commence until Friday morning, the Bth of July. Essex.—The commission will be opened on Monday, the 11th of July, and business will be proceeded with on Tuesday morning, the 12th, in both courts, at 10 o'clock. SUSSEX.—The commission will be opened on Saturday morning, the 16th of July, and business will commence in both courts on Monday, the 18th, at 12 o'clock. KENT.—The commission will be opened on Thursday, the 21st of July, and business will be proceeded with in both courts on the following morning, at 30 o'elock. SURREY.—The commission will be opened on Thurs day, the 28th of July, at Croydon, and business will be proceeded with in both courts cn Friday morning, at 10 o'clock. The judges will be the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Cresswell. ISTHMUS OF DARIEN SHIP CANAL. ( Translation from the French.) TO DR. EDWARD CULLEN, STRAND, LONDON. am very much to blame for having so long de layed an answer to the agreeable and interesting dispatch that you have been kind enough to forward me by the hands of Mr. Augustus Peterman, so estimable by his character, as well as by the solidity of his geographical labours. Dr. Cullen cannot doubt the high importance that I would attach to the merit of his courageous and useful investigations in the eastern part of the Isthmus of Panama ; knowing my position and my antediluvian age, he will receive with indulgence, even so late, the expression of my lively gratitude. After having laboured in vain during half a century to prove the possibility of an Oceanic Canal, and to point out the Gulf of San Miguel and Cupica as the points most worthy of attention—after having regretted, almost with bitterness, in the last edition of my " Aspects of Nature," that the employment of the means, which the present state of our knowledge affords, for obtaining precise measurements has been so long delayed— I ought, more than any one else, to be satisfied to see at last my hopes for so noble an enterprise revived. By your publi cations, sir, and by that of Mr. Gisborne, will be origi nated the great work of changing an important part of the commerce of nations, and of rendering more acces sible the rich countries of Eastern Asia and the Indian Archipelago. The undertaking is by no means above the intellectual and material power which civilised na tions have attained to. The work should be one to last for ever ; it should not commence with a canal with locks, like the magnificent Caledonian Canal ; it must be a really Oceanic Canal, without locks ; a free passage from sea to sea, across which the speed of the navigation will be modified, but not interrupted, by the difference in height and non-coincidence of the tides. Receive, I pray you, Sir, the expression of my highest consideration.—Yours, &c., (Signed) ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT. Potsdam, 4th June, 1853. DEATH OF THE DANISH MINISTER.—We have to an nounce the sudden death of his Excellency M. de Bille, Danish minister at this court. His Excellency expired at two o'clock on Saturday morning, at the residence of the Danish legation, from disease of the heart. The deceased was much respected by the diplomatic corps. Madame de Bille has suffered greatly from the shock, and remains in a very precarious condition. His Excel lency attended the Queen's Drawing-room on Tuesday, and was out as usual on the day preceding his death. It is not a little remarkable that the late Danish minister at the Court of St. James's, Count Reventlow, died from a similar disease about two years since while on a tour in Scotland. UNITED STATES' EXPEDITION TO AFRICA.—A New York paper gives the following account of an expedi tion to Africa by Colonel Lynch :—" Commander Lynch, recently returned from his preliminary expedi tion of observation, preparatory to his grand exploring expedition into the interior of. Africa, is now in Washington, engaged in preparing his report. He was on the coast in Liberia and that vicinity from early in January to late in March, and explored all the rivers of the region. He found none navigable more than 21 miles above the mouth. He is pos sessed of no very exalted idea of the feasibility of white colonisation of the west coast of Africa, even in a tem porary way, and for commercial purposes only. Cap tain Lynch intimates that there is but a single English man known to have survived the climate of Sierra Leone for five years, at the end of which time the fever carried him off. It will be recollected that, perhaps 40 years since, the Portuguese colonised an island in the imme diate vicinity of Guinea, sending there 7,000 souls. At this time there is bet a single individual living in whose veins the blood of any a these colonists is believed to exist. This is a fact making stubbornly indeed against the idea of a much more profitable trade with Africa, as the result of any possible effort of our Government to compass that end. The books, papers, &c., of Com mander Lynch have just arrived in this country. Their delay in following him has embarrassed his operations and preparations here not a little." THE SOUTH WALES FISHERIES NEW MARXET.—The opening of the South Wales line as far as Swansea has, similar to the establishment of the Chester and Holyhead line, opened new fields and markets for the disposal of the immense quantities of the finny tribe caught on the shores of Southern Wales. Hitherto these large supplies of food have been only partially resorted to, and locally consumed, a small quantity only being transported from the place of capture, but now that rail communication has been opened, the inexhaustible and lucrative supply of food is likely to afford employment and subsistence to large numbers of the poorer class, as vast quantities of the various kinds of fish are now regularly sent by means of the rail to the various towns, and thence taken inland. Large quantities of mackerel have thus been sent, per Gloucester, to London, Birmingham, Derby, Notting ham, and other large inland towns. In Carmarthen and Swansea bays of delicious fish abound, and on the extensive sands the finest shell fish are taken in abun dance. Regular employment is thus afforded to many poor persons. . - THE SWEATING SICKNESS.—An epidemic disease, said to be the sweating sickness has recently broken out at Mehun-sur-Y evre (Cher), which has been fatal to several persons. It more particularly attacks young people. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS _ B_avaria.

There was not much activity in business at the Bourse yesterday, and a general decline in prices eventually took place, though not to any extent. The-Four-and-a-Half per Cents, for cash, fell 15c., and 30c. for the end of the month ; whilst, in the Three per Cents., the decline was 50c. in the quo tation for money, and 45c. in that for the account. No change occurred in Bank of France shares. The final quotations were :—For cash—Three per Cents., 76f. 50c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 f. 15c.

The most important original article in the Paris journals of yesterday is one in the Pays on the Eastern question, and which declares that the oc cupation of the Danubian principalities by the Russian forces will, or will not, be considered a cases belli, according to the manner in which Turkey will look on that occupation. It may, however, be remarked that Turkey, in so grave a conjecture, would scarcely make any declaration which she had not previously submitted to the consideration of the French and English Ambassa dors at Constantinople, so that though the Sultan is paid the compliment of being told that on his decision depends war or peace, yet in reality he will only be the medium through which the two great powers will make known their intended course of action. The Sikte and the Univers have likewise articles on the affairs of Turkey, and both of them are rather warlike in tone. The Siecte asks - why the allied fleets have been ordered to the neighbourhood of the, Dardanelles, if not to act with energy the moment the Russians pass the Pruth ? The German journals contain only one impor tant point, in addition to the intelligence which has already come to hand, relative to the Eastern question. It refers to the answer of the Ottoman Porte to the last ultimatum of Russia which a letter from Vienna of the 15th, in the New Prus sian Gazette, states, though not positively, to con sist of a declaration of non-acceptance. The letter in question says :--" The Ottoman Ambassador here received, this day, a dispatch from Semlin, .which announces that the Porte has rejected the ultimatum brought by a courier from St. Peters burgh to Constantinople, referring at the same time to its memorandum to the Powers for the reason of its refusal," The Frankfort Journal, under date of Jassy the Gth, says :—" We are in continual alarm of war breaking out, and our fears are not without foundation, as we are informed on good authority that bridges are being thrown over th e Pruth at Skuleni and at Leowa, and over the Danube at Tultscha ; the General Luders has, by order of the Emperor, reviewed the troops sta tioned in the neighbourhood of Leowa, Reni, and Dubassar, on the Dniester ; that four gun-boats have entered. the mouth of the Pruth to be em ployed in conveying artillery to Leowa, &c. Hopes are nevertheless entertained that peace will not be disturbed for the moment, and this hope is grounded on the last note of Prince Menst,hikoff, which, although threatenin g , is not absolutely warlike." A letter from Pesth,l3th, states that the Austrian Government had lately made considerable pur chases of horses, and had repaired and completely armed the fortresses of Temeswar, Arad, and Carls burg.—The Austrian Correspondence confirms the news that Austria was sending troops to Croatia, in order to be prepared for all eventualities. The same journal adds that Austria has no idea what ever of increasing her army. The news of an Austrian mediation in the Oriental question is premature. Nevertheless it is asserted that this mediation will soon be accepted, and that the differences between the British and the Russian Cabinet will, by means of the good offices of Austria, be brought to a satisfactory settlement. This news is contained in a semi official paper, the Wanderer. Prince Menschikoff is at Sebastopol, waiting for the Emperor's orders. A letter from Smyrna, of the 7th inst., an nounces that two Turkish vessels—one loaded with slaves and the other with grain—have been cap tured by the Russians in the Black Sea. The same letter states that the war in the Cau casus had again broken out with redoubled fury, and that the Russians have suffered a defeat at the hands of Schamyl. A letter from Pultowa, in Russia, states that the Grand Duke Czarowitsch, who is the chief of all the establishments for military instruction in Russia, has just purchased the ground near that town, on which, on the 27th June, 1709, was fought the celebrated battle when Peter the Great gained a complete victory over Charles XII., King of Sweden, who was obliged to take refuge in Tur key.
