Indeed a rumour is quite current of the break up of the British Ministry having actually taken place. There can be little difficulty in understanding the process by which probable anticipations jump into affirmed fact. People, for instance, reasoning upon what has taken place between the two Governments, come to the conclusion that cordial union of action against Russia cannot be expected. They are told, too, by the confidential organs of the British Cabinet that Russia may occupy, without any justi fiable pretext, and, consequently, in violation of treaties, the Danubian provinces, but the Pays, a trusted organ of the French Government, declares quite the contrary. It is well known, too, that the Government is every day becoming less indiF posed to war. The funds declining yesterday, it was said, was not becauss the fall of the British Cabinet is accepted as an accomplished fact, or that they believe in a fresh movement at Milan, but it is because of an article in the Pays, which is sup posed to reveal a difference of opinion between Napoleon and Aberdeen on the subject of the oc cupation of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Siecle affirms positively that Count Panin, the Russian Minister of Justice, is on a special mission to the French Government, but that to conceal his object, it is pretended that he is only on his way to some watering-place. There can be no doubt that the Siècle speaks the truth. The Debats says :—lt is generally believed that before long certain railway concessions will be ac corded for which the companies ask neither sub vention nor guarantee of interest. The sole cause of delay would be, it is said, the heavy state of public securities. We believe, however, that we can state that the consulting commission is busy in examining this matter, and that, in its sitting of Saturday last, it heard the observations of the delegates of the companies from Besancon to Mul hausen, from Lisieux to Honfleur, of the Pyrenean lines, and of that from Orleans to Epermay. The Echo de Honfleur states that orders have been received by the maritime board of that port to make a levy of all the mariners that are able and fit for the service. Not even the married men are excluded from the effect of this measure. Alarming rumours have kept the Exchange in a state of fluctuation all day yesterday. Those rumours have not, however, been confirmed. Nevertheless, the funds have fallen. The Three per Cents. closed at 78f. 20c. for the end of the month, and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101 f. 60c. TURKEY. It is reported on the Vienna 'Change yesterday that the Russians have entered the Danubian prin cipalities. A panic has ensued, but the Correspon dent (regarded as semi-official) contradicts the report. It is asserted that the Russian Ambassadors at Vienna and Berlin insist on Austria and Prussia discontinuing that passive part which they have up to the present played in the Oriental question. The Lloyds of Vienna says :—" Prince Danilo arrived on the 22d ult. at Celenje. He had received from the Emperor of Austria the Order of the Iron Crown. The same decoration of the second class has been conferred on M. Pero, the President of the Senate of Montenegro, and that of the third class on M. George Petrovich. Prince Danilo dis tributed to the troops 200 medals struck in honour of their bravery. The Prince has declared at a public meeting that the Montenegrins would soon have a fresh occasion to display their valour, not to defend their territory, but to retake the terri tory of which the Turks had deprived Montenegro without any right." The Pays publishes a long article on the affairs of the Rut, in which it contends that the other European Powers cannot permit Russia to occupy the, Moldavo-Wallachian provinces, because any such occupation, without a similar and simultane ous occupation by the Turks, would be a direct violation of existing treaties. It will be seen, how ever, by the few lines from the Constitutionnel, which we subjoin, that the Pays has not set forth the clause of the treaty which fixes the circum stances under which the principalities may be occu pied quite so clearly as it might have done in sup port of its arguments. The Constitutionnel says :—. " The possible, or, we may even say, probable en trance of Russian troops into the principalities is the object of many comments, but we have not yet seen that any one has, in order to judge of the proper bearing of such a measure, brought forward the treaty which regu lates the matter. This treaty is that of Balta Liman, concluded in May, 1849. This &nal, since that is the Turkish name given to the document, is the latest obli gatory convention entered into between Russia and the Porte on the subject of the principalities ; it was con cluded for seven years, and provides, in article 4, that a new occupation of these provinces is to depend on any serious event which may arise in the principalities. It is to be simultaneous, and the force on either side must not exceed 35,000 men. No other cause of occupation is stipulated for: RUSSIA. The Augsburgh Gazette announces the arrival of Prince Menschikoff at St. Petersburgh on the 4th inst., although in the journals published in that capital up to the 7th no mention is made of that fact. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 10th contains a Royal decree acceptino , the proposition of the Bank of San Fernando to provide funds for the payment of the half year's dividend, and enacting that 28,000,000 reals of this shall be remitted to Paris and London on the 15th of this month ; 22,500,000 seals be paid to the Treasury on the Ist of July next, and a like sum on the Ist of August. The Gazette also publishes the decree by which M. Olayarrietta is appointed President of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, in the room of M. Arrazola, who was dismissed for hisvote in the Senate against the Cabinet on the Narvaez affair. All the Minis ters had gone to Aranjuez, and the rumours of a ministerial crisis had ceased. It was said that the deliberation of the Cabinet, on the concession of the Northern Railway, would have to be adjourned, asM. Haceta, Director of Public Works, had been taken ill, and could not conclude the report he was charged by the Royal Council to draw up. The Three per Cents. were at 45. PIEDMONT. In the sitting of the 10th of the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies, M. Carquet asked the Mi nister of Grace and Justice whether he was aware of a sentence pronounced by the Tribunal of Albert ville, condemning an advocate, M. Andriez, to a fortnight's suspension for having refused to join his colleagues appointed, according to custom, by the President, to carry the canopy of the Holy Sacra ment in a procession ? M. Carquet inquired on what grounds a man could be condemned for refusing to violate his conscience in a country where all the abuses of clerical coercion had been abolished ? M. Bon compagni, Minister of Grace and Justice, replied that liberty of conscience was recognised by law, that the public authorities could not force any man to observe any religious custom, and , that no one was obliged to profess any particular I religion ; but that, in the case before the house, the advocate had been condemned on the ground of disrespect to the Court, , having refused to sign the notice which had been sent to him, informing him of his appointment. Moreover, M. Andriez might have appealed, but had not done so. M. Carquet then expressed a hope that, after the ex planation he had given, the Minister would not object to the following order of the day :—" The Chamber, after hearing the explanations of the Minister, is convinced that the Government will, within the limits of its attributions, protect liberty of conscience, and passes to the order of the day." The Minister consented, on condition of its not being understood to cast blame upon the Tribu nal, and the order of the day was adopted accord ingly. the sick, and two professional gentlemen who were passengers (Dr. Corbin, of Barbadoes, and Mr. Dakyns, from Jamaica,) assisted him in the dis charge of his arduous duties. Eight cases out of the 11 had black vomit, from which two of the crew and a lady passenger recovered. This ;lip left St. Thomas's with nearly 200 passengers and 125 officers and crew----a greater number of pas sengers than has hitherto came by this route ; and if we are to believe in the paramount importance of precautionary measures when yellow fever breaks out on board a crowded ship, certainly, in the present instance, the conduct of the surgeon is beyond all praise. Immediately a patient was seized he was removed on deck, placed under can vas, moistened with Sir W. Burnett's fluid, in accordance with Sir W. Pym's recommendations, and then placed under the most unremittinci medical treatment. To these precautionary measures is doubtless to be attributed the cessation of one of the most ma lignant forms of yellow fever. The canvas ar rangements on deck resembled an encampment on a small scale. At the instance of Captain Woolley, aided by the exertions of the ladies, a subscription amounting to nearly 1001. was raised among the passengers and officers of the steamer, to be applied to the relief of the bereaved widows and children of those whose remains were committed to the deep. In consequence of the large number of pas sengers on board some unavoidable disappointment was experienced at starting in the allotment of cabins, all hoping for and expecting to have one with a port in it, but by the tact of the captain and the moderation of the passengers peace and good will at length prevailed. The Royal Mail steamer Medway, which arrived at St. Thomas's from Jamaica on the 31st ult., had lost, during the 14 days show as absent from St. Thomas's, no less than 12 of her crew by fever, among whom were Mr. Gillatt, the purser, and Mr. Wynn, fourth officer. Mr. Powell, chief officer, was left on shore at Jamaica. It is generally supposed that St. Thomas's is the focus of the disease, although Jamaica is now suffering. By this packet there has been an almost entire failure of our ales of colonial journals, neither the usual packages of Jamaica, Barbadoes, Demerara, St. Lucia, Anti ;ma, nor other papers having reached us. We presume this arises from their not having been received from the intercolonial steamers. In Jamaica we learn that the May seasons had been heavy, materially interfering with the manu facture in some parishes, but favourable for the establishment of the spring plants for next year. The crop was expected to be less than the last. Yellow fever was very malignant in the harbour, and a few sporadic cases had appeared in Kingston, but Spanish To wn was particularly healthy. The weather in the West Indies was rainy, and generally favourable for the next crop. The falling off of the present crop would be general—about 12,000hhds. at Barbadoes, 10,000 in British Guiana, 5,000 in Trinidad, and the other islands in like proportion. At St. Thomas's there had been heavy rains and sultry weather up to the night of the 24th of May, when a slight shock of earthquake took place, and the weather cleared up. Yellow fever was fatally prevalent in the harbour. From British Guiana our accounts are to the 24th ult. The weather was moist and warm, and everything that could be desired by the planter. The canes all over the colony were beginning to put on a green and vigorous look ; and, although loss must necessarily have been sustained from the long-continued drought in the early period of the year, it will not be to the extent anticipated. Trade in the city still continued dull. The yellow fever still prevailed at Trinidad. The ships Eliza Stewart and Bank of England had ar rived from Calcutta with further importations of Coolie labourers. On board the Bank of England 48 deaths took place during the passage, cholera having broken out. Another vessel was shortly expectd with Chinese immigrants, and this, it was expected, would make the total additions to the labouring population of the colony equal to 3,000 souls since January last. In Grenada there was little or no fever, the type of the disease prevailing being more of a bilious and intermittent than of a malignant character. The weather had been excessively warm, and although favourable for the operation of sugar-making was injurious to the young plants. The weather in St. Vincent was rather warm for the season of the year, but refreshing showers were frequent during the nights. Sugar-making was progressing fast, and the quality generally was good. The Royal Mail steamer Avon was in the Gulf of Mexico ; the Conway on the Savannah route ; the Dee in the Spanish Main ; the Derwent, Med way, and Trent at St. Thomas's ; and the Eagle at Barbadoes. Her Majesty's ship Calypso was at Barbadoes ; the Imaum, Daring, and Alban at Jamaica. AMERICA. There is no leading article on the Eastern ques. tion in the journals of yesterday of sufficient inte rest for extract. The Constitutionnet says :—" We have received accounts from Constantinople to the 2d, vitt Berlin and Vienna, Our correspondent informs us that the preparations for defence were being carried on by the Porte with great activity. The greater part of the redifs, or provincial contingents, are already on the march ; almost all of them are proceeding towards the Balkans, where the principal concen tration of Turkish troops will take place. The en trance of the Bosphorus appears to be sufficiently defended by the Turkish fleet, which is about to be reinforced by the ten line-of-battle ships and frigates which aro every day expected from Egypt. The last accounts from Malta state that the English fleet was still there, but the Admiral had made known that he could be under weigh in five mi nutes, and at Constantinople in ninety hours by the aid of his numerous steam-tugs. It would na turally require less time for the French fleet to make the passage from Salamis to Constantinople. The Porte appears to feel the conviction that it will be attacked, and acts in consequence. Our corre spondent has sent us the literal translation of the official note addressed by the Porte to the repre sentatives of England, France, Austria, and Prus sia, dated the 26th ult. We have already published the summary of it, but, under existing circum stances, we consider the document too important not to publish it textually. It is as follows : " Although the question of the Holy Places, which formed one of the objects of the mission of Prince Men schikoff, has been settled to the satisfaction of all parties, the Prince has put forward pretensions relative to the Greek religion and its clergy, which are of quite a dif ferent nature. The Sublime Porte makes it a point of honour to preserve from any attack, both at present and for the future, the religious immunities as well as the rights and privileges granted under preceding reigns, and confirmed by his Majesty the reigning Sultan, to the clergy, the churches, and the convents of the Otto man subjects who profess the Greek religion, and as no one has ever thought of imposing the slightest restric tion, neither has any doubt been thrown on the friendly intentions of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia towards the Sublime Porte. But to stipulate with a foreign go vernment by a sened, or obligatory deed, under the form of a convention, or by a note or declaration having the same force and value, for rights, privileges, and immu nities (although it should only regard religion, worship, and churches), in favour of a numerous community, subjects of the government, would be to affect the rights of independence and the governmental basis of the power which thus binds itself, and could not in any way be compared to some concessions made by ancient treaties. These facts have been pointed out to Prince Menschikoff with all candour and good faith, and a disposition has been shown to give all the assur ances calculated to dissipate the fears conceived with regard to the immunities of all kinds of the creed personally professed by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. Unfortunately, however, this has not led to an understanding between the two parties, and the Sublime Porte deeply regrets that the Prince should have carried things so far as to break off his official relations and to quit his post. The Sublime Porte does not nourish any hostile intentions towards the august Court of Russia ; its most ardent wish, on the contrary, is to draw more closely than before the bonds of friendship, which have been always dear to it, by the resumption of official relations. It therefore hopes that his Majesty the Emperor, in his well known character for equity, will not open without motive the path of hostilities, and that the principles of his Imperial Majesty, which are evident to the whole world, will not allow him to take steps in opposition to the positive assurances which he has given to the august courts of Europe. But it is a fact that the Prince has broken off his relations, and quitted his post; as in that interval the Sublime Porte has not been as sured that war will not take place, and whilst it sees grea t military preparations, both by sea and land, made by Russia in parts close to the Ottoman Empire, the Sublime Porte, without entertaining any hostile inten tion, sees itself compelled by prudence and by precau tion, to also make preparations, and it has resolved that from this day military arrangements for defence shall be made, and the Ottoman Government hopes that the nigh Courts who signed the treaty of 1841 will approve of its conduct in this respect. In acquitting myself by sov,ueigu order of this communication, I avail myself, (Signed) "‘ MOIISTANIA RESCHID." The Times of Berlin, which is considered to be semi-c.fficial, states, in its number of the 12th, that it has received positive information that in a Ca binet Council held in London on the 9th the Minist€ rs had resolved on sending to the British Ambassador at Constantinople the most extensive powers, but under the restriction of not considering the fact of the entrance of the Russian troops into L the priApipalitieS as a declaration of war. The SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The United States' mail steam-ship Franklin, Capt. J. A. Wootton, arrived off Cowes at 10 p.m. last evening, and, having landed the English mails and passengers, proceeded to Havre. The Franklin brings dates from New York to the 4th inst., 180 passengers, specie value $720,000, and a large cargo for Havre. Among the passengers is Mr. Stocker, bearer of dispatches to the Russian Legation. On the 7th inst. the Franklin spoke the American mail steamer Washington ; on the 10th the brig Henrietta, and on the 13th a three-masted screw-steamer, bound west. Baltimore and its vicinity had been visited by a tornado, which destroyed a good deal of property. The steamer Eclipse had exploded near Chicago, killing several persons. From Havannah our dates are to the 24th ult., but contain no news of importance. From Washington there is no intelligence of a political character. The New York Stock Exchange was moderately active. Exchanges—On London, 1091; on Paris, sf. 132 c. to sf. 12ic. Ashes were brisk and firm. In cotton there was more offering ; sales on the 4th, 2,500 bales. In flour and meal, State and Western brands were more plentiful, and rather declining in price. Sales on the 4th, 11,000 barrels, at a falling off of 61-c. per barrel. Wheat was more freely offered, and the price had a downward tendency. The crops in all directions were represented to be in the highest possible growing condition, and the pros pects of the fruit season were good. The Legislature of Maryland had closed its ses sion, after incorporating the Baltimore and Euro pean Steam-ship Company and the Delaware and MaTrlelaGndovSehiporC-GaneanleColmopf cany. ada had given his assent to a bill for incorporating the Canadian Steam Navigation Company. Late papers from St. John's, New Brunswick, give particulars of the measures taken by the British Government for the protection of the fisheries. Her Majesty's steamers Basilisk and Devastation are to be anchored off Newfoundland ; four small vessels, each manned by 25 men, are to be fitted out from the flag-ship Cumberland, and to cruise near Halifax. From Mexico and California there is no later news. The screw steamer City of Manchester reached Philadelphia on the 2d instant, from Liverpool. Among the passengers by the steamer is Mr. J. B. Croskey, Consul of the United States in South ampton. WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 15 The Royal Mail steam-ship Parana, Captain F Woolley, arrived here this morning, bringing the usual British and foreign West dia. mails, in charge of Lieutenant Payne, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her latest dates are— Greytown Carthagena — 26 St. Vincent — 27 Chagres - 28 Santa Martha — 14 Martinique — 29 Kingston — 27 Guadaloupe — 29 Jacmel — 98 ! Dominique — 29 San Juan —301 Antigua Berbice - 23 Montserrat — 29 Georgetown Tobago -25 St. Kitts — 30 Port of Spain — 25 Tortola — 31 1 Bridgetown — 28!St. Thomas — 31 This steamer also brings mails received at Pa nama by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's ship Barota, which vessel had 32 passengers and specie value $250,000 for transmission to England. The dates were— Valparaiso May I . ,lslay Coquimbo — 2. Pisco -- 9 Copiapo — 3 Callao — 12 Cobija — s,Payta ............... 15 Iquique — 6 1 Panama ............ 19 Arica — 6 The Parana has on freight specie value $BOO,OOO, or say 160,0001. sterling ; 52 serous cochineal, 17 bales sarsaparilla, 9 casks of ginger, 2 hogsheads of copper ore, and 2 packages of sundries. The Parana left St. Thomas's at 3 p.m. on the 31st ult., having received the b ranch mails from the Trent and Derwent on the previous day, and from the Medway the same morning. She has ar rived hero nearly two days before due, the mails coming to hand just in sufficient time to allow a clear day to merchants and otherS to reply by the outward packet of Friday. The Parana remained about a fortnight at St. Thomas's. In consequence of the prevalence of yellow fever Captain Woolley considered it more prudent to re ceive coals from the ships alongside, rather than moor his steamer at the wharf. During her stay in the harbour his servant died of the fever in St. Thomas's Hospital and one seaman was left on shore ill, but he sailed with a clean bill of health. Not withstanding these precautions the yellow fever appeared the day after the Parana sailed, and Mr. Green, midshipman, from the Medway, on leave to England, died in seventy hours after seizure, and William Heated, fireman ; Robert Stone, captain of the hold ; and Henry Humphries, master-at arms — succes sively fell victims to this fatal disease, of which there have been eleven cases during the passage. All the cases appeared within three or four days after leaving St. Thomas's, and no case occurred after the 4th of May. As soon as the fever set in it was deemed prudent "to en camp" the sick on deck, not only as a good reme dial measure for them, but as a means of prevent ing the localisation of the disease below, and the spread of panic among the crew and passengers. A temporary tent was erected in the fore part of the vessel and used as an hospital, and the result was productive of great benefit.

There now remains but one of the gallant generals who led our troops to victory in the Affghan and Seikh wars, to return to his native land, and to receive the congratulations of his countrymen. Lord Hardinge, Lord Gough, Sir George Pollock, and Sir Harry Smith are in England, and within a fortnight or three weeks the hero of " Sudalapoor," Sir Joseph Thackwell, may be expected. We confess that for this gallant officer we entertain, with all classes in England and India, the deepest respect. His great military knowledge, his bravery, and his character as an honourable, high minded, and impartial commander, have endeared him to all who have come under his authority. Wherever his post was on the battle-field, there victory was sure to follow, with very inconsiderable loss on our side. At " Sudalapoor," the handful of men under his command, numbering less than six thousand of all arms, chiefly sopoys, and cut off by a river from all support, re pulsed the whole Seikh army, 45,000 strong, and caused them to retire precitately from their entrenchments. He now returns to England after an honourable Euro pean career —including several of the severest Penin sular actions and Waterloo, where he lost an arm—and a service of sixteen years in India, embracing the chief engagements in Affghanistan, Gwalior, and the Pun juab, from 1838 to 1849. An Indian contemporary thus speaks of him :—" We have never heard Sir Joseph Thackwell's name mentioned except with re verence and respect, no matter what the rank or grade of the person who had occasion to speak of him. In dependent of his intimate knowledge of every branch of his profession, and his wonderful activity, General Thackwell has an amount of good sense, good feeling, good taste, and good humour which peculiarly fits him for command." MAGDAT.ENA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—Yester day a special general meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to consider the propriety of reducing the value of the shares, and authorising the directors to borrow 30,0001. Mr. J. D. Powles occupied the chair, and explained that having taken the opinion of counsel, the directors could not see any ground upon which they were likely to be autho rised by the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies to re duce the amount of the shares of the company, but every accommodation would be given to the shareholders in paying up calls. A report had been received from the engineers, recommending them not to prosecute that part of their plan which proposed a direct communica tion with Carthagena, but giving the most favourable opinion of the prospects of the company. The two first boats of the company would be sent out in September, and in the following month they would doubtless be earning freights. A third and a fourth would be dispatched at intervals of three months, and he (the chairman) had no doubt that within twelve months they would be in the receipt of a dividend. After a brief discussion, a resolution was passed, authorising the directors to borrow 30,0001. on mortgage or deben tures, as required by the business of the company. It was also resolved that the directors should issue the 3,330 shares remaining in their hands as soon as they could conveniently do so, at or above par. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the business terminated. Ma. HALE's WAR ROCKETS.--The unpleasant position in which Mr. Hale found himself placed through his manufacture of war rockets at Rotherhithe, within the prohibited distance where manufactories for making such dangerous articles in the vicinity of London can be legally carried on, has terminated in a more satisfactory manner than he could have anticipated. The solicitor acting on behalf of Mr. Hale received a letter a few days ago from,Mr. Waddington, the Under Secretary of State, conveying information that the Government had abandoned all further proceedings against Mr. Hale, and were willing that he should select one of four officers named to make a reasonable yet liberal valuation of the property seized. Mr. Hale has fixed upon Col. Chalmer, Inspector of Artillery at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich' o.ua n y t la thev have now awaits his decision.

Ever since the new management commenced opera tions, a gradually marked improvement has been percep tible in the character of Hampton races, and this year not the !east important improvement was intended to be effected by the abolition of heat races, but although at the time of entering for the Innkeepers' Plate it was distinctly stated by the secretary that the race would not be in heats, and some of the horses were actually entered on that express understanding, yet as the con ditions originally published in the sheet calendar con fined the plate to " the best of heats," the stewards decided that no alteration could be made. A step has, however, been taken in the right direction, and next year the abolition of those turf-abominations—leat races is certain. The disappointment threatened by the heavy rain of the two previous days was early in the morning satisfac torily dispelled by cheering indications of a change of weather, and although at times some watery clouds drifted slowly over, the day, as it advanced, was cha racterised by gladdening influences. Owing, however, to the military attractions at Chob ham, the attendance of company on the Hurst fell con siderably short of an average. For the mere pleasure of ti le °i e . seeker there was , as usua l, a ll the diversified entertain ment found at a coun t ry f a i r , com bi ne d with the scenes exciting and incidents aod s p e o r r a t c g i n a g ve active Specuelmatpolrosymmeunst to the metallics. - te r e dnumerously,n The course was well kept by a body of the A division of police—not a single accident occurring to mar the pleasure of the proceedings. As a proof of the determination of the managers to secure the patronage and approbation of the racing community, a new weighing stand was erected next the stewards' stand with separate entrance for trainers and jockeys, an arrangement which had tho effect of facili tating the business there. On the Thames side of the course permanent posts and chains have been placed from the betting stand down to the ferry, and it is in tended by next year to have a similar line on the oppo site side down to the gravel pits, and to place permanent posts and rails round the top turn, generally a place of danger. The only drawback on the efficiency of the arrange ments was in the delay and blunders that were made in putting up some of the horses' numbers. The subjoined details of the running render further comment here unnecessary STAND PLATE of 60 sovs. (handicap) for all ages. Winners extra. Once round and a distance. Mr. T.
