THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The Emperor, on the report of the Minister of Justice, has decreed that the Imperial Court and the Tribunal of First Instance of Algeria, shall henceforth have a vacation from the Ist August to the Ist October, instead of, as heretofore, suspend ing their sittings for ten consecutive days in the months of June, July, August, and September. The decree also orders that, during the vacation, a Chamber shall sit for the dispatch of business. In the sitting of yesterday the Corps Legislatif had adopted all the bills on the order of the day. There was no discussion, and the votes were unani mous. After the passing of these bills M. de la Guerroniere read the report of the committee on the re-establishment of capital punishment for po litical offences. The committee recommend that attempts to assassinate the Sovereign or to disturb the public safety, be visited with the punishment which the law awards to parricides. A further decline occurred yesterday inthe pub lic securities. The Three per Cents. for' cash fell 65c., and the Four-and-a-H alf per Cents., 75c. A decline of 40c. took place in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for the account, and of 15c. in the Three per Cents. Bank of France shares fell 2f. The closing prices were :—For money : Threeper Cent s ~ 79f. 70c. ; Four - and - a - Half per Cents., 102 f. 50c. For the end of the month :—Three per Cents., 79f 90c. ; Four - and - a - Half per Cents., 1021. 60c. ; Bank Stock, 2,695 f. 50c. There as but little business transacted in the railway share market showed yesterday, and the quotations a consider able decline in the principal lines. Closing Northerns, 892 f.

It is announced as a certain fact that Queen Isabella is in an interesting situati on ; s h e i s sa id to be enexente since last month. A royal decree, inserted in the Madrid Gazette of the 21st, orders that from the Ist June Next, 456 articles, Which in the year 1851 produced 700,000 reels, shall be exempt from customs duty. M. Fernando Rivas, deputy of the opposition, who was put in prison by the late Ministry for having published an electoral manifesto, had left Madrid for Paris and London. A letter says :—" The Royal Council assembled yesterday, but it did not occupy itself with the railway question. It will, however, meet on Monday to discuss it. The sec tions of Justice and Public Works united, have expressed the opinion that the concession of the Northern line ought to be referred to the Cort es, and that the concessions of the lines from Aranjuez to Almansa, and from Socuellamos to Ciudad Real, ought to be sanctioned, as the works have been commenced. It is believed that the Royal Council will approve of both these resolutions." The Three per Cents. were at 45i. TURKEY. The following authentic and important intelli gence was received in Paris yesterday from Con stantinople. It is dated the 17th " On resuming office, Reschid Pasha requested from Prince MensChikoff a delay of six days. Menschikoff refused, and declared diplomatic rela tions broken off, adding that he would remain in Constantinople three days, to make the necessary preparations for his departure, and he exhorted the Porte to reflection, and to profit by the short time he should be detained." Subsequently another communication was re ceived, dated the 19th On the 17th a meeting of the Divan was hell, at the issue of which it was definitively resolved that the Convention, as proposed by P r i nce Men schikoff, could not be accepted. Nevertheless, on this being notified to Prince Menschikoff, he did not quit Constantinople." On the contrary, he has opened new communications with Reschid Pacha. This leads to the presumption that fresh negotia tions will be entered into. The date of the depar ture of the Russian Envoy is no longer fixed. The Constitationncl, after giving an analysis of the note of the Porte to Prince Menschikoff, which differs in nothing from that of the Debats, says : " This reply was sent to Prince Menschikoff at Bonyukdere, where he had been for some days. On the morning of the 11th, he sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs an acknowledgment of having received it, and requested him, in a note, to urge the council to give such a reply as would permit an amicable termination of the matter, and in a manner to satisfy every one. The Porte appears decided not to yield. The Greek clergy, so in terested in the question, have declared in favour of the status quo, that is, in . favour of the Porte. They protest en masse against the protectorate which the Emperor of Russia desires to impose on them. In general, the Greeks are glad to have the support of Russia, but on condition of not being under her immediate rule. It is above all repugnant to them to think that the Eastern Church, which is the mother of the Russian Church, should be made subordinate to this latter, as would be the case if the projects of St. Peters burgh were adopted. There would be in that cir cumstance, they think,, cause for long religious quarrels, which would infallibly end in a new schism." The iii-ussian troops had been reinforced, and - ithe situation appeared critical. ITALY. The Opieione of Turin, of the 2nd, in alluding to the seizure of Mazzini's last publication, gives an outline of it. Radical as that paper is, it never theless speaks of this production in far from favour able terms. It describes it as an apology of the attempt of Feb. 6, in which the writer. gives an account of the means he adopted to prepare it, ex plains his conduct of the formation of the National Committee, and, lastly, announces the dissolution of the latter, which, it appears, was ultimately composed of Mazzini and Saffi alone. On this subject Mazzini says, that being desirous of giving the committee all the moral weight it could derive from illustrious Italian names, he wrote himself to several, among whom may be mentioned Enrico Cernuschi, Amari, Montanelli, Mania, and Cat taneo. For one reason or other, they all declined ; Mania did not answer. Mazzini further affirms, in another part of the book, that he only followed, and did not provoke the movement ; he only aided, but did not direct those who were ready to act ; that he advised inac tion, if the moment was not favourable, and only lent his assistance when he received for an swer that the time was come. " I lent," he says, "so much of my aid as was applied for. I wrote a proclamation because I was asked for one, and I took measures to have the movement se conded on other points, if it showed symptoms of strength." In another place, he says—" I shall, if necessary, do again what I have done this time." Speaking of his " national loan," he complains that the rich ref_is2d their mite, that the loan, which he considers a good idea, though the material result was but small, was swelled by the poor and not by the rich, who (he says), " now elniate their avarice with the forced loans and sequestrations of Austria." These are about the most interesting points of the pamphlet in question, which the Opinion: declares to be far below the mark of the author's former productions. A letter from Florence, of the 18th, in the Opinione of Turin, states that the Supreme Court there was engaged in hearing the rejoinders of counsel for the defence, in the case of Guerrazzi and others, after which the court was to pronounce sentence definitively. Marquis Constabili, who had been ordered away from Florence by the police is still there, through the exertions, it is said, of Prince Lichtenstein. AUSTRIA. The King of Prussia has conferred on M. de Baumgartner, the Austrian Minister of Finance and Commerce, the order of the Red Eagle, first class, as an acknowledgment of his services on the occasion of the Austro-Prussian treaty of com merce. A letter from Frankfort, 22d, says :—" The number of emigrants this year' l is very considerable. In Hungary more than 4,000 passports have already been given, a number of them for Cali fornia. The authorities make no difficulties about granting passports, but the emigrant is obliged to declare that he does not intend to return to Austria." Wh --- en the Emperor of Austria presented the P sia ru n ss i i ‘la , generals and officers of the staff to the King of i szy ty s ayienna letter of the 23d, his Prus sian : "His Maiest addressed them in these terms : were profoundy h officer s , d urin Y , the.

The Grand 's - 1 cu j i n o l Riding School was very striking, and unitineae ti a ;e first society of Vienna. The combats commenced by the entry of two heralds bearing the colours of the Empire of Germany, and with the eagle with two heads on their cloaks. Next came the stan dard-bearer of the Empire, preceded and followed by 24 trumpeters. He was followed by the Chief of the Knights, the Archduke William, on a horse richly caparisoned in blue and gold, and bearing ih his hand a large naked sword. He wore a coat of arms of white velvet embroidered with gold and diamonds. He had on his breast a red cross sur mounted by a crown, and a blue scarf over his shoulder. His arms and legs wore cased with armour. The Archduke was accompanied by twenty-four knights and twenty esquires, all mounted on spirited horses. The cortege was closed by two standard bearers and twelve knights. Next came the procession of the Saracens led by Prince Alexander of Wurtemberg, accompanied by two Moores carrying his arms. He was mounted on a fine Arabian horse, and was followed by six Mamelouks, twenty-four noble Saracens, and twelve Bedoui ns . A mong the scions of the most distinguished families, were remarked several offi cers of the Bourgeoisie, for in Austria merit is al ways taken into consideration, address and execu tion being the principal object in view. After the quadrilles came races and combats." A letter from Berne of the 23d, in the New Gazette of Zurich, says :—" As was to be expected, the Federal Council has resolved to break off diplomatic relations with Austria, and to recal M. Steiger, Swiss charge d'Affaires at Vienna. But the necessary measures have been taken for the signing of passports in that city. The ambassador of Austria, in announcing his recal, said that a continuation of diplomatic relations would be without object—there was no question about the dinner, which, however, is still said to have been the immediate cause of his departure. The Federal Council has taken no other resolution, and we can affirm that the statement that it has called on ' General Dufour is perfectly false." PRUSSIA. The grand review which the King held in Ber- L lin, May 23, unter den Linden, on the 14th inst., will be the last of the year, with the exception of the grand maxceuvres which take place every year in the autumn. The suite in attendance on his Majesty on this occasion was particularly brilliant, on account of the numbers of high and distin guished guests just then present in Berlin. In addition to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the Duke and Duchess of Genoa, the Queen of Greece arrived on the 13th on her way to Eutin, on a visit to her brother, the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. Her Ma jesty left here on the 17th, and all the other august guests one by one. The Court removed to Char lottenburg on Whitsun-eve, after the King had been present at a Liturgische Andacht, in the Dom, whence he returned to the Palace on foot. The Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, sister of the King, arrived on the evening of the 17th, from St. Petersburgh, and after a visit to the Queen at Charlottenburg on the folloWing day pur sued her journey to Schwerin. The Prince of Prussia has left for the Court of Weimar, where the Princess of Prussia is already staying, preparatory to the nuptials of Prince Hein rich of the Netherlands with the daughter of Duke Barnhard of Saxe Weimar. Thence the Prince and. Princess will return to Berlin, preparatory to leav ing for London to be present at the christening of the infant Prinee. On the 13th instant the Crown Prince of Den mark, with his Princess and suite, left Copenhagen on a visit to Germany. The Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Cassel is expected here to-day to be present at the approaching nuptials of his son, Prince Frederic of Hesse-Cassel with Princess Anna, daughter of Prince Charles of Prussia. The trousseau of the bride has been on view at the King's Palace on the 14th and 23d inst., and on each day about 2,500, mostly female observers, visited it. Of the two large rooms which the trousseau occupied, the first contained the house and body linen, laid out for the most part in 20 dozens and 24 dozens, all marked with her Royal Highness's name in an unintelligible letter (12 dozen pocket-handkerchiefs had the Royal arms woven in them). In connection with the travelling conch were 24 dozen day and night chemises, as many undress and night caps, and other incompre hensible and unmentionable articles in like pro fusion. The linen takes up three sides of the room, the fourth is occupied by the chaussure, consisting of 24 pairs of silk and leather shoes and 24 dozen pairs of stockings. In the second room were gloves, embroidered Candkerchiefs, collars, scarfs, hats, bonnets, artificial flowers, &c., in bewildering pro fusion : to make all complete, there was a riding habit, 12 cloaks, in silk and velvet ; and, besid es all these, the ball and court dresses, as well as the wedding robe, a diadem of brilliants, and too many more things for us to enumerate. According to old practice here, the body of the wedding dress of white satin was not with the skirt and train, but is kept in the jewel chamber, where it is decorated with the Crown jewels, and not brought out to Charlottenburg till th e ast moment. On the 18th, after taking leave of the Queen at the station of the Potsdam Railway - , whence her Majesty was about to set out on several trips to visit various charitable institutions,, the King lift for Vienna, accompanied by Prince Charles and his son. Although everything like state receptions had been deprecated, the exhibitions of feeling towards his Majesty on his road to the Austrian frontier have made it a " royal progress " in the best sense of the word. It is usual here when the King has a special train for his own purposes to permit any inhabitants of Berlin, who plead urgent business in the quarter about to be visited by His Majesty, or their own inability to meet the ex penses, to travel in the Royal train. This last opportunity of the visit to Vienna was thus turned by many to profitable account. According to a telegraphic communication re ceived, " the King has left Vienna for Dresden via Prague. The King of the Belgians had also left. The match of the Duke of Brabant with the Arch duchess Marie Henriette Anna seems to be certain." The son of the Prince of Prussia, heir to the throne, is rather seriously ill. His parents quitted Weimar very suddenly in consequence. A letter of May 17, from Hirschberg (Silesia), in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" A domiciliary visit has just been made at the residence of M. Wander, for the purpose of discovering a manu script which he had, it is said, offered to a pub lisher at Bremen. Several letters and manu scripts were seized. M. Wander having asked to see the search warrant Baron de Zedlitz, who was present, replied that the action of the police was altogether independent of the Courts of Jus tice, and that lie should not hesitate to take away whatever seemed to him proper. At the end of the visit, as all the articles seized were made up in parcels without an inventory being taken, M. Wander expressed an apprehension that some of them might be lost. The answer given was that everything should be returned that was not wanted. A litter from Manheim, of the 20th, in the Co logne Gazette, states that orders have been given to the legal authorities to abandon the prosecution of Professor Gervinus. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Ber lin of May 23, which says :—" The President of the Council of Ministers arrived here yesterday from his country seat. It is announced that he will proceed to Dresden, to join the King, who has arrived there. The Prince and the Princess of Prussia, and the other members of the royal family who were at Weimar, returned here two days back, and immediately proceeded to Potsdam, to visit Prince Frederick William, who is ill. The Princess of Prussia will accompany the Prince to London." NEGLECT AND STARVATION OF A CHILD.—An inquest was held on Wednesday afternoon, at the Greyhound Inn, Midsomer Norton, before Bruges Fry, Esq., coro ner for the northern district of Somersetshire, and a highly respectable jury, on the body of Elizabeth Jeffe ries, aged 8 years, whose death was alleged to have been caused by the neglect and cruel treatment of her father and stepmother, Thomas and Elizabeth Jefferies, and by the want of a sufficiency of food. The deceased was the daughter of a miner, who had formerly lived at Mongre, but who now resides at a place called Dickyraeads. During the lifetime of Jefferies' first wife, who is repre sented as having been a kindly disposed and well-con ducted young woman, the deceased and an elder sister, named Hannah Jeffefies, resided with her, and were carefully looked after and well treated by her. Subse quently to her death Jefferies, who held a leading posi tion among a religious sect called "Ranters," formed an acquaintance with a female named Elizabeth Smith, who had been living in service with a surgeon of the neigh bourhood, and to whom he afterwards got married. Shortly after this marriage the neighbours perceived a difference in the treatment of the children, who they considered were very severely used by the stepmother, and they brought their suspicions under the notice of the Rev. C. 0. Mayne, incumbent of the parish, who re monstrated with the stepmother. Several of these women were examined, and they deposed to acts of harshness and cruelty, as well as neglect, on the part of the stepmother towards the child, who had died. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict, " That the deceased had died from inflammation of the lungs ; but that her death had been accelerated by the neglect and ill-treatment of Elizabeth Jefferies, her E tepmother." at th T The co roner sa id that was tantamount to a verdict of S en I e S I T t I COF So mersetnl !manslaughte r aga i ns t t h a stepmother, and he accordingly cm assizes. lNA AT issued hi s warrant for her committal, to await her trial OFFENDERS.- -It appears, from a Parliarne t ry were 27,510 pers n s blue-book, that last year there England and Committed for criminal offences in ceding year.

Minchin, a girl in the service of Mr. Smith, a grocer, residing at 17, Cam bridge-street, Hyde-park, was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, charged with having attempted to murder her master's son, Frederick, only thirteen years old, with a long and sharp-pointed carving knife. The court was much crowded during the inquiry, to which a painful degree of interest was attached. The first witness called was Charles Qushen, who, on being sworn, said—l am assistant to lir. Smith. At about seven o'clock this morning I was awoke by the cries of my employer's son, who slept in a room on the same floor as mine, and who called out "Sarah, oh Sarah," several times. I jumped up and rushed into the apartment, when I beheld the prisoner struggling with the boy, who was in bed. She had a knife in her hand, and I saw her strike it at the youth, who seized hold of it, and in consequence thereof he was much cut upon the hands. I wrested the knife from the grasp of the prisoner, and she then threw her self upon the bed as if she were in a state of insensibility. Her back was towards me when I got possession of the knife, and I attribute her fright to her turning round and noticing that I was the person who interfered in the matter. The boy ran down stairs, bleeding profusely from his throat and hands, and soon afterwards a sur geon was in attendance. Mr. Long—Where did the prisoner sleep ?—Witness-- In a small room between mine and the boy's. Mr. Fell (the chief clerk)—Do you happen to know if there has been any quarrel which would be likely to cause the prisoner to be revenged ?—Witness—Since this unhappy affair I have heard that, a short time ago, there were some unpleasant words about a small knife, but I am not aware of the particulars in reference thereto. Police constable Fordham, 272 D—At a quarter past seven this morning I was called to the house, and on Mr. Smith taking me into an apartment up-stairs, I saw the prisoner lying on a bed which was covered with blood. Prisoner's hands and face were also bloody. I was shown to another room, and there saw the boy in bed. A surgeon was present and was dressing the wounds. I took the prisoner into custody, and con veyed her in a cab to the station house. Witness here produced the carving knife, the greater part of the blade of which had blood upon it. Mr. Long—When you took the prisoner did she make any observation to you ?—Witness : None, sir. A certificate from Mr. Brown, surgeon, Connaught square, was produced and handed to the magistrate. The document set forth that there were wounds upon the throat, the wrist, and several fingers ; the boy had lost a great deal of blood, and as his nervous system had been very much upset it was impossible to consider him free from danger. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in answer to so serious a charge, was remanded till next Thursday, upon which day the surgeon and the wounded boy's father will be examined in the case ; it is also hoped that the boy will be sufficiently well to appear. THAMES.—William Whitbread, 44 H, was charged with being concerned with two other constables in a gross and unprovoked assault on Mrs. Honora Jennett, a respectable married woman, residing in New Com mercial-street, Whitechapel. Mr. Daniels appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham for the defence. Immediately on the charge being preferred Middle ditch, 104 11, absconded, ano6er constable of the same division, named Hawkes, who was alleged to have as saulted her, was discharged from this court on Saturday, his identity not having been established to the magis trate's satisfaction, and another summons was to be heard against a constable of the same division. The irosecutrix stated that at twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday week she was returning home after an unsuccessful search for her husband. In passing by Lemon-street station-house, at the door of which some persons were assembled, the defendant and two other constables—one 104 H, and another whose number she did not know = came arm and arm, and pushed against her. She remonstrated ; on which one of them said, " You are very particular, you -- ;" to which the pri soner added, " Yes, she is ab— w---." The middle one, who was then in court, rushed forward and struck her on the nose, blacking her eye and making the blood flow copiously. She went in to complain to the inspec tor, but whilst sitting on the steps leading to his office the man Hawkes, who was discharged on Saturday, " bundled" her out. She reported the circumstances at the station-house on Sunday and Monday to Inspectors Miller and Kendall, and the present proceedings were the result. Mr. Pelham, for the defence, contended that the statement of the prosecutrix, who he said was well drilled by three inquiries, was a mere fabrication ; if there was any truth in it, the facts were, that some con stables, who had a few hours leave of absence, might have pushed against her in their eagerness to force through the crowd, for the purpose of reporting them selves, as it was a few minutes past twelve o'clock. He called Lyne, 216 H, who said he was one of the constables who had to report himself on the occasion, and as he got to the station-hous e door he saw a brother officer following at about ten yards distance. He believed it was the defendant, by whom he was immediately joined, and they both proceeded to the inspector's room to re port themselves. He did not seem in any way ruffled, or as if he had been recently in any affray. Mr. Daniels was about to make some observations, but Mr. Ingham said it was wholly unnecessary. The prosecutrix swore positively that the defendant was one of the three who pushed against her, and that he used the offensive phrase, a . In the three statements made by her, namely, the two to the inspectors and the one before the court, he could see no discrepancy of any consequence. If any person but a constable was charged with the offence it would not be of so much consequence. Mr. Pelham—He was not on duty. Mr. Ingham—No matter. It is the duty of a con stable always to set an example. I do not say what punishment I should pass on the man who inflicted the blow, but the defendant must pay a fine of 108. and costs. This sentence involves dismissal from the force. James W. Pearce, 97 H, who had been in the court a few minutes before, was then called, but though mes sengers were sent in every direction he was nowhere to be found. He is said to be the person who struck the blow, but when he saw the turn the case was taking against Whitbread he hurried away. On the application of Mr. Daniels a warrant for his apprehension was immediately issued. HAMMERSMITH.—John Yates, a stout, portly looking man, about 50 years of age, who was described in the police sheet as being in no occupation, was brought up before Mr. Paynter and placed in the dock on the serious charge of feloniously attempting to dis charge a loaded pistol at his wife, Frances Yates, with intent to murder her. The first witness examined was the wife, and she ap peared to feel most keenly the painful position in which she was placed. Her age is about the same as her hus band's, and she is also stout and has a very matronly look. She stated that she was a laundress, and resided at York Cottage, Kensall New Town. Between nine and ten o'clock on the previous night she went to the tap to draw some beer, when the prisoner came up to her and put the barrel of a pistol in her face. She was very much alarmed, and screamed out loudly for as sistance. She immediately caught hold of the barrel, and held it down from her by main force. A female came to her assistance, and she also held the pis tol down, and he then desisted and went away. She was terribly frightened, and she fully believed that he in tended to do her some mischief. Mr. Paynter—What is the cause of his acting in this manner ? The wife—l don't know, sir ;he has repeatedly told me he would do for me. Mr. Paynter—How long have you been married to him ? The Complainant--Upwards of twenty-six years. Mr. Paynter—What trade does he follow ? The com plainant—He does nothing, your worship ; I have kept him for some time past. Mr. Paynter—Have you ever complained of his con duct ? The wife—No, sir ; I have kept it to myself, in the hope that he would behave better. Mr. Paynter—Where was he in the habit of keeping the pistol ? The wife—ln his desk, sir. He has fre quently carried it about him in his bosom. Sergeant Warren, 27 D, produced a loaded pistol, and said the complainant had told him that when her hus band presented the pistol at her, she heard it snap twice. The Wife— Oh, yes, sir ; when my husband put the barrel in my face, I distinctly heard it snap, as if it had missed fire. I believe the pistol snapped twice. When the pistol was presented at my face, I was in such a position that I could not move, so I had to use all my strength to keep the barrel down. Sergeant Warren said he was called in soon after the occurrence, and he found the prisoner in the garden. He told him that he must take him into custody for attempt ing to discharge a loaded pistol at his wife, and asked him where it was. The prisoner began laughing, and said he could not shoot his wife, as he had no pistol. Wit- Bess told him that he had a pistol, and that he must find it. The prisoner then said he had left it in the garden, and that he had placed it under a tile near the pig stye. Witness went to the place where the prisoner had mentioned, and there he had found a double-barrel pistol. On examining it he found the left barrel loaded, and the other barrel was unloaded. The barrel that was loaded was charged with a marble and powder. The lock of the pistol was pulled back, and was quite ready to be fired off. There was powder in the pan, and if the flint had been a good one the wife must have been shot, as there was no doubt the prisoner had pulled the trigger, which accounted for the snapping of the pistol. The flint was a very bad one, and he believed that the flint would never go off while it had the flint then upon it. _ _ Mr. Paynter having ascertained that the next session of the Central Criminal Court was not before June next, said he should remand the prisoner for a few days, to have some inquiries made, as it was a very serious charge, for which the prisoner was liable to transporta tion for life. The sergeant would ascertain what the prisoner had been doing during the day, and whether he had purchased any fresh powder. Sergeant Warren said he would make the necessary inquiries, and The prisoner was accordingly remanded. It was afterwards stated that while the prisoner was left in the charge of a constable before he was brought to the court, he said that he intended to shoot his wife, and afterwards to drown himself. At present the police have not been able to discover the motive the prisoner had in wishing for his wife's death, as it would appear that he was entirely supported by her. The police, how ever, bad been informed that the prisoner had been drinking to excess for some time past, but he was per fectly sober when be presented the loaded pistol at his wife.

The court consisted of Admiral Corry, President ; Captain Mitchell, of the Queen ; Captain Nias, St. George ; Captain Buckle, Valorous ; and the Captains of the Prince Regent, Sanspareil, Magicienne, Impdrieuse, Amphion, and Leopard. The charge having been proved, the court sentenced the pri soner to be dismissed from her Majesty's service. THE CHANNEL SQUADRON. In the afternoon Admiral Corry made signal for the sternmost and leewardmost ships of his squadron to get ready for sea. Wind light from south-east, veering to wards the south ; high water at 6.30 p.m. The Lon don, 90, Captain Charles Eden, which lay to the west, first let fall, and was quickly under canvass. She broke ground at 5.20 p.m. and was cast of to wards the south under topsails, topgallant sails, and royals. This fine ship sits easy on the water, and bore a very noble appearance when she had dropped her courses and was leaving the Sound. The flag-ship Prince Regent, 92, Captain Hutton, which lay about three quarters of a mile inside the middle of the breakwater, let fall at 5.30, broke ground at 5.45, and casting inshore passed to the leeward of the red buoy as she followed the London. The Sanspareil screw steam-ship, 81, Capt. S. C. Dacres, which was to the north-east of the Ad miral, let fall topsails at 5.50, and, when they were set, let fall topgallantsails and royals, broke ground at 6, and cast towards the southward under canvass only. The wind being light she drifted towards Drake's Island, and it was feared that the island buoy would get under her bottom. To prevent this a warp was carried to a mer chant schooner at anchor in the Sound, and two of the ship's boats got hold of her bow ; they were joined by three from the Queen, and four from other other ships belonging to the squadron, and she was cleared from the buoy. The Leopard steamer, having been signalised, came to assist, but owing to her connection with the schooner, the Leopard went round the Sanspareil three times, and an hour elapsed before she could safely hook on. The Imptirieuse, 50, screw, Captain R. B. Watson ; the Amphion, 34, screw, Captain S. G. E. Patey ; the Highflyer, 21, screw, Captain J. More ; and the Leo pard, 12, paddle-wheel, Captain G. Giffard, got under weigh with steam only. Owing to the wind dying away it was nearly eight o'clock before the squadron cleared the Sound. At nightfall the London, under her topsails, was observed several miles outside the break water, in a south-easterly direction ; the Prince Re gent, in tow of the Highflyer, was half•a-mile outside the west end of the breakwater ; the Leopard was tow ing the Sanspareil towards the London, and the Lnp6- riquse and Amphion were following astern. MAY 25. Admiral Corry's squadron is reported to have been observed three leagues west of the Eddystone, at 4 o'clock this morning, in a dead calm. NAVAL MEDICAL SERVICES TO EMIGRANTS. We are much pleased to find that the Colonial Land and Engration Commissioners have made a grateful acknowledgment of the services of the late Dr. Carey, of the Hercules, by presenting his heirs with the sum of 1501. Dr. Stewart, the assistant-surgeon of the Hercules, has also received 601. from the Commissioners in consi deration of his labours while the emigrants on board that vessel were afflicted with the scourges of small pox and typhus fever in a severe form. The board have, we understand, signified their inten tion of carrying out this just and proper system of reward for important services, by adequately remune rating the other medical officers who were engaged in this perilous service, through the Commander-in-Chief at Cork—Rear-Admiral Purvis. No one who has the slightest idea of the amount of harassing labour and responsibility incurred by the naval medical officers at Cork, can be otherwise than gratified by the spirit of just liberality displayed by the board on the present occasion.

LAYARD'S RETERN.—Mr. Layard has left Con stantinople on his return to England. A letter from that gentleman, dated Pera, May 5, 1853, has been shown to us. In it he says—" I write a line to say that I leave Constantinople to-day on my return to England. I hope to be in London by the end of the month. Mat ters here are in some respects quieting down, although the Russians are still assuming a very warlike attitude in their southern provinces. It must be hoped that the recent declaration of Lord John will keep them in order, especially as they have no pretence whatever for resorting to violent measures, as the ostensible objects of their recent embassy have been obtained.

The report announced the gratifying fact that the annual subscriptions had increased, and concluded by acknowledging several valuable legacies, including 3001. from the late Col. Hemming, of Brompton, 2001. from the late Miss Mary Hatch, 2001. from the late Mrs. Dodd of Marylebone, and:6oo/. fromithe Rev. Charles Turner of Leamington. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills a Certain Cure for Eruptions and all Diseases of the Skin. —Extract of a letter from Mr. J. Hird, draper, Keady, dated Feb. 14, 1852, to Professor Holloway :- 4, Sir, — My child, when three months old, was afflicted with a severe eruption all over her body. I sought every aid and the advice of surgeons and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hopeless. I then tried your Ointment and Pills, and without exaggeration the effect was miraculous, for in a short time she was restored to perfect health, and so remains. Mr. Bowden, book seller, Gainsborongh, and myself, would be ha ppy to satisfy any inquiries as to the truth of this statement.
