Thg _r LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1853. A considerable time has elapsed since we first drew the attention of our readers to the many ex traordinary circumstances connected with the great Chinese revolution. During the interval which has followed those introductory observations, we have repeatedly taken occasion to impress upon the public the really wonderful importance of events, the value of which we conceive to have been for a long while unaccountably overlooked. Literally, we believe, that we were thus about the first to direct any particular notice to the import and significance of this grand Asiatic movement—a movement at once social, political, and religious in its character—one affecting the destinies of nearly 400,000,000 of the human family—a rising pro l fessedly, at least, in favour of a vast and simultaneous extension of civilisation and Christianity. Occasionally, moreover, there have arrived in this country, despatches from China descriptive of the course taken by the insurgents, of the successes achieved by them over the Imperial forces, and of different exploits and incidents by which the momentous struggle has been latterly illustrated. Gradually, too, we have been gratified to observe an increas ing interest in these remarkable occurrences among the majority of our contemporaries. It has con sequently happened that the first vague rumours of a disturbance of some kind or another in the throng of the Chinese population have been fol lowed up by inquiry after inquiry until we have contrived at length, by aid of a little perseverance and tact, to co ll ec t t oge ther a mass of valuable and reliable information. Our researches (it wet e unjust, of course, to omit the acknowledgment) have been aided to a great extent by accounts . Coming to us from various quarters. There have been, for Pekin —the example, the Imperial documents publish e d at prociamation insurrectionary tracts and the official record of Sir GEORGE BOXIIAM' s mission to Nankin--the curious details furnished by st,ythanedinterpre r. ManttApagoawei interpre ter, a man of considerable prersactive work* intelli gence—but, above all, the printed during the course of the year at Paris, ingenious inter from the jointly produced ayult,,Tirt CALLERY. woven narrative of MM. volume,t a A translation of the last-mentioned under the able and competent gr. JOHN OXENFORD, is already, wo editorship of to observe, on the eve of makin g its appearance. r e This volume will be the more welcome to the e com munity from the fact of its unquestionable a,uthen- , ticity. Dr. YvAN, as physician,, and M. CALLERY, as interpreter to the French Embassy in Chi na, besides being men of undoubted veracity, scholars distinguished by no superficial acquirements, and authors of extended, and one of them in particular (Dr. YvAN) of b estalished, reputation—possess in the circumstance of their official character a sub stantial guarantee of their credibility. From these numeroussources, it is practicale, even now, to cull a sufficiency of facts to render the mystery of the present movement among the Chinese to some extent comprehensible. It is i n this manner, consequently, that we have been enabled already to present our readers with a diversity of par ticulars relating to the rebellion, conducted and inspired, if not actually originated, by the Great King Pacificator, the Prince of Universal Peace, HOUND-sinow-TSIUE N , fanatical followers, TAE orp, i a N a G_ h w e A is N c.. called by his It has been asserted, as the readers of MM.

Whether TIEN-TE ever was in the land of the living is a matter of some uncertainty—at any rate it at this moment notorious that he no longer breathes, even supposing him to be other than a creature of the imagi nation. Of the reality of the existence of TAE-PING-WANG there is, however, no such in certitude. Indeed, we are informed even as to his age, the colour of his hair, and the shade of his complexion. He is known to be a tall sun burnt hero, a little above forty, and yet with both hair and beard somewhat grizzled. His followers are led by fOUr Generals, or " Kings," as they are styled—chieftains claiming regal dignity, and yet proud of being regarded as his lieutenants. According to MM. YvAN and CALLERY, these four " Kings " are scarcely less remarkable than their leader, the great TAB-Prrra-WANG. Jne, the East King, or Toung-Wang, is a slight personage, we are told, of some five-and-thirty years, his features disfigure d b y the brand of the small-pox, his name HIANG-TSIO U-TSING. Another, the West King, or Si -Wang, a sort of Asiatic MURAT, handsome and chivalrous, is known by the name of SIAO-TCHA-KOLTEI. The North King, or Pe-Wang, a ppears before us as a gaunt captain of five-and -twenty , ' one WEI-TCIIING. While th e South King, or Nan - Wang, a learned scholar som e thirty-two y ears old, is p res ented to us as, a chief of a sin gu l ar ly youth these generals or ki ngs act ingofunle ,aFpOpiTeNarG:r SwANitl as his lieutenants, TAE-PING-WANG, the Great King Pacificator, or Prince of Universal Peace, h a s a ccomplished the marvels w e ourse l ves have already more than. once related. He has pro claimed his authority in the most arrogant and blasphemous terms imaginable, calling himself the True LORD, the master of the whole world, and the secend Son of GOD, declaring that he has conversed with the Divinity in Heaven, and that his words are the utterances of a new and celestial revela tion. He has inscribed the name of CHRIST upon his standards, and has scattered lavishly along the paths of his victories thousands of copies (trans lations into the Chinese vernacular) of the Old Bible and the New Testament. He has engaged among his forces the wild ferocity of the Miao tzes, a race of savage and daring mountaineers. He has in three years, dating from the August of 1850, to this present August of 1853, ad vanced so far in his triumphant march from Kouang-si and Kouang-tong, that he has al ready captured Nankin, while he threatens the seizure of Pekin, and overshadows the fortunes of the reigning Emperor, HIEN FOUNG, by a series of gigantic and marvellous vic tories. Victories so wonderful in their scope and rapidity, that they have already placed one-half of the Celestial Empire at the foot of an unaided adventurer. Such, once more, are some among those astounding occurrences which are bringing four hundred millions of already half-civilised Asiatics within the influence of the divine and elevating allurements of Christianity. It would be fortunate indeed for the commu nity if the salutary example afforded by JOHN MACGREGOR, the energetic, consistent, and effi cient Member for Glasgow, in appearing before his constituents at the termination of the session, for the purpose of rendering an account of his stewardship, were followed by every independent representative of an independent constituency. Still better would it be, if other Honourable Gentle men could appeal with equal confidence to their past conduct, as the most unanswerable and con clusive testimony of the ability, fidelity, and zeal with which they have performed the arduous and important duties confided to their charge. There would in such case be but little use in shortening the duration of the representation, or resorting to Triennial Parliaments. The cordial and heart felt satisfaction exhibited by all classes—the non electors as well as those entrusted with the franchise —the rapturous and enthusiastic ap plause with winch the man of their choice was greeted on his appearance, and also at the close of his singularly lucid and elo quent address, prove beyond the possibility of doubt that the former selection would again be ratified and confirmed if circumstances rendered another appeal necessary, either to the country, or to the voters of the City of Glasgow. It is, indeed, delightful to witness the existence of such genuine cordiality, such complete good under standing subsisting between the electors and the elected—a cordiality equally honourable to both parties, and showing that each is worthy of the other—that JonN MACGREGOR has well and truly merited the suffrages of such a constituency--that Glasgow is deserving of such a representative as JOHN MACGREGOR. We trust that the bonds of union thus subsisting may be even more firmly cemented during each successive year, and that they may subsist until the Hon. Gentleman shall retire to the enjoyment of the otiwm, cum dignitate which services, such as those which he has already ' rendered, and which may reasonably be antici pated at his hands, will eminently entitle him. It must be borne in mind, that JOHN MAC GREGOR entered upon his Parliamentary career from a point at which the great majority of his Right Hon. and Hon. brethren would be well contented to relinquish theirs. He held a highly important and lucrative office—a permanent office —which rendered him independent of Ministerial changes. As Secretary of the Board of Trade, he had won golden opinions from men of all parties, and Tory as well as Whig recognised the exceed ing value of his services. These services were fully appreciated by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who grate fully acknowledged the aid afforded by JOHN . MACGREGOR in framing the liberal tariffs which first displayed the free-trade tendencies of that en lightened Minister, and who would gladly have removed him to a higher sphere, where, as one of the Administration, he might have entered on the stormy arena of political life. But, although JOHN MACGREGOR spared no exertions to carry out the liberal views of the then Prime Minister, he steadily refused to listen to the overtures that were made, or to yield to the glittering tempta tions to which he was exposed. In heart and soul he was a reformer—a fiscal, financial, and Parlia mentary reformer—a reformer of the most ad vanced schcol, and he would not, by the accept ance of office, give the sanction of his nameto a Go vernment whose opinions were not as yet in accord ance with his own. The g roat qtatisvz man now unhap pily lost to the nation—while regretting his deci- Ision, respected his scruples and bestowed his dis interested approbation on the useful labours of his high-minded and honest opponent. Free Trade was then accomplished—the giant monopoly broken down—the iniquitous bread-tax for ever abolished. But almost simultaneously the Minister by whom it was conceded, who had 5 . ,.° eminently merited the' hanks and gratitude of which he had. r e community—whose name was uttered with ileartfelt " the poor benedictions ana in the humble cottages of lowly_—fell from place and power, country. freely sacrificed on the altar of his JOHN IttssEja, whose i g Ministry succeeded.

In so doing, the Honourable Gentlemaß made no inconsiderable sacrifice. By entering into political life he would have divested the ar perma- o ffice which he filled of its cha r c his re re of signation on nency, and rendered necessary " the 'accession to o ffice of a Ministry of whose principles he disapproved. No person, however, for a moment imagined tha t a seat in the House of Commons would have been dee med inconsistent with the Secretaryship of the Board o f Trade , and the intimation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to that effect excited great and general astonish ment. JOHN MACGREGOR would not, how-1 ever, desert the men of Glasgow. He would not abandon those who had promised him their unpurchased and unpurchafeable suffrages, but rather relinquished the desirable situation which would have been considered an ample re ward for efficient Parliamentary services during many successive years. He received, in one re spect, the just reward of his manly and disin terested conduct. The citizens of Glasgow placed him triumphantly at the head of the poll, and he took his seat in the popular branch of the Legi slature as Representative for the largest town constituency in the British dominions. Since then his proceedings have been patent to the world, and we believe that none of those by whom he was chosen would have wished any alteration. In attendance he was not merely diligent, but apparently indefatigable. No temptation could induce JOHN MACGREGOR to desert his post. His place was never vacant on any important occa sion. His vot es , t oo , cou ld never b e o bj ec t e d t o . We defy any person to point out a single division on which he was to be found in the wrong lobby. But these advantages were not all that flowed from the connection between himself and his constitu ents. He met them every year to explain his own conduct and to hear the expression of their wants and wishes ; and some of the most lucid papers on financial and other political subjects have been identified with the name of the Representative of the citizens of Glasgow. The address of the Hon. Gentleman (which will be found in another part of this day's impression) will be found worthy of a place with those to which we have so frequently directed the public attention. It is indeed an admirable resume not only of the events of the bygone session, but of all the proceedings since the summary removal of " the English Minister" led to the overthrow of the RUSSELL Government. The changes that have since occurred are depicted with a master-hand, and the financial subjects are treated in a peculiarly lucid manner. We heartily commend it to the consideration of our readers. It will be found eminently deserving of a careful and attentive perusal. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 25, Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with Count Alexander Mensdorff, attended by the Hon. Beatrice Byng and the Hon. A. Gordon, drove over to Black Gang Chine yesterday afternoon. Viscount Hardinge has arrived on a visit to her Majesty. The Turkish Minister transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. Dispatches were received at the Colonial-office from the Governor of Gibraltar yesterday. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1853, THE ORLEANS FAMILY. This morning, at ten o'clock, all the members of the ex-Royal family of France, at present in this country, at tended the requiem mass, celebrated each year in the Catholic chapel (that of St. Charles Borromeo) at Wey bridge—in commemoration of the death of his late Ma jesty the ex-Bing Louis Philippe. Long before the arrival of Queen Amelia with her attendant Princes and Princesses, the approaches to the little edifice under which repose the remains of the unfortunate monarch, were marked by groups of refugees, sympathisers of the exiled dynasty—resolutely braving the inclemency of wind and rain, for the purpose of evidencing their at tachment to an unhappy house, and their remembrance of a melancholy anniversary. BRILLIANT COMET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—A. brilliant comet was seen by some friends with whom I was in company last evening, about a quarter past eight. My want of sight did not allow me to judge of its character for myself, and I can only give you its description as I gathered it from my friends, who endeavoured to make me understand what they saw. It appeared about W.N.W., about 10 degrees above the horizon. At the first glance it was mistaken for a sky-rocket which had turned, and was falling. The train was of considerable length, but varying in bright ness, sometimes appearing, according to their descrip tion, 6,7, or 8 feet long, from which I should suppose its length to be not less than I or 2 degrees directed up wards, and spreading considerably at the extremity. I find to-day that it was seen by others last evening, and set between 10 and 11. Not having heard that any comet was expected about this time, I presume it is a new one.—l remain, Sir, yours obediently, J. N. 11—• Weymouth, Aug. 24, 1853. PRINCE ALBERT'S BIRTHDAY—(THIS DAY.)—This day being the thirty-fourth anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, the usual marks of respect towards that illustrious prince were shown throughout the metropolis. In honour of the occasion the bells of the various churches in the metropolis rang many merry peals. The royal standard was hoisted at the Admiralty, Monument, St. Martin's Church, So merset House, B. Edgington's tent manufactory, Duke-street, borough, the Tower, and other places. During the morning, preparations were being made for illuminating the various houses of the royal tradesmen, and public institutions. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry have left Seaham for the Irish residence of the noble marquis, Garron Tower, Londonderry. PRIISSIA. — The Prussian Ministers of the Finance and Commerce have resolved to grant to solvent persons who have regular relations with the authorities, a certain period of credit for the payment of duties and taxes. LORD JOHN RIISSELL.—Lord John Russell, accom panied by Lady Russell and family, arrived at Rose neath House, on the banks of the Gareloch, on Tuesday afternoon, where they are expected to reside over the autumn. QUEEN CHARLOTTE'S HOSPITAL, LISSON-GROVE.—A healthy young woman, aged 26, was safely delivered between three and four o'clock yesterday morning of three fine children—two girls and one boy, all of whom, as well as the mother, are doing well. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night the German com pany at this theatre performed the opera of bucrezia Borgia. The house was filled by the same kind of audience as on Monday, and was, if possible, still more densely crowded. The opera was given by the prin cipals—Mde. Caradori (Lucrezia), Herr Reichardt (Gennaro), and Herr Formes (Alphonso)—in the Italian language. The subordinates and chorus adopted such tongues as were suited to their individual nationalities. On the whole, the execution was highly creditable to a troupe so rapidly improvised ; and the audience were uproarious in their plaudits. At the conclusion of the opera the singers were called several times before the curtain, and bouquets were thrown from the side boxes. SCOTTISH FETE.—CREMORNE GARDENS.—Arrange ments having been made to hold the annual gathering for Scottish games this season at Cremorne, the first of two fetes took place yesterday. It was much to be re gretted that the weather was so unfavourable ; but not withstanding there was not only a goodly number pre sent, but the sports and pastimes were carried on with a spirit that appeared resolved to surmount every diffi culty. From shortly after three o'clock there was an unbroken round of entertainments, which even the rain could not interrupt, and the athletic sports and pastimes of Scotland were never more keenly contested, or more admirably displayed. The foot race, the feats of aglity and strength, and the characteristic dances, each in turn elicited unbounded applause, and were enlivened by the national strains of the bagpipes. In addition to the games of Scotland, a great variety of English sports were presented, and fairly shared the admiration of those who witnessed them. Besides the rustic sports of run ning round the pegs, jumping in sacks, a wheelbarrow race, a jingling snatch, &c., the morris dance and the maypole dance were executed by 40 performers in ap propriate costumes, and the manner in which they were displayed reflected the highest credit upon all concerned. A Scotch ball was afterward carried on with great spirit to a late hour. THE MANSLAUGHTER OF A CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICER. —On Wednesday, at a late hour, Patrick Sullivan, a labourer, was brought to the Southwark Police Court, in the custody of Inspector Bowles, of the Thames police, charged on a coroner's warrant with the man slaughter of Mr. William Stone Gampton, formerly an officer in her Majesty's Customs.— The particulars of the case has already been pu blished.—lns p ector Bowles said that he had just appreh ended the p risoner, and he considered it his duty to bring him before his worship to be committed under the coroner's warrant.—Mr. Combe said that he considered he had nothing to do with it. He (the inspector) had better take him to the coroner, who was then sitting, and he could commit him in the regular way. If (he Mr. Combe) committed him the coroner would lose him, unless he went before the judges. He did not wish to have any altercation with the coroner ; therefore the inspector had better take the ciurse be had advised him. The prisoner, who was accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. Solomons, was then removed from the court in custody of Inspec tor Bowles for that purpose.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The market continued very quiet, without change in prices. The sales com prised 5,000 American ; 400 Egyptian, at 6id. to 10d. ; 400 Surat, at 3id. to sd. ; and 30 Sea 17 and, at 2s. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were steady. In the commercial markets this week a good busi ness has been transacted. Sugar has been rather quiet. Coffee and rice have been brisk, and a good business has been done in spirits and dyes, cochi neal being up 2d. to 3d. per lb. Pig iron sells readily. Cotton has been dull, tallow steady, and tea in rather more demand. Reviewing the month since the 24th ultimo, Messrs. H. W. Jews bury and Co. state : " There has been an increased confidence in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the past month, and importers being firm in their demands have, in many instances, succeeded in obtaining advanced rates. The more favourable position of the Eastern question has tended to produce this result, and should it terminate favourably, as is now confidently expedted, combined with the fine harvest weather lately experi enced, will, it may reasonably be anticipated, be fol lowed by increased business transactions throughout the whole country, and that the present large consumption of all the leading articles will not only be maintained, but be still further increased. The importations of pro duce have been large, which has prevented the stocks showing any material alteration from those of last month. The consumption of sugar having increased so l'rgely arrivals fail to present that gradual reduction of stock, which has been taking place for some time past. Cochi neal has improved in value since our last, and from the accounts of the deficiency of the crop in the West Indies, we may look for higher rates being paid. Indigo and safflower are both firmer, with an upward tendency ; other dyes and dyeing materials remain much the same as last month. The Continental advices report the pro duce markets firm, with a good business doing. " The late advices from India and China notice that at the former place trade continues dull, at the latter place the revolutiooxow going on naturally affects mercantile transactiok but hitherto respect has been paid to foreign merchants and their effects. From our manufacturing districts advices report an improved tone, but the increased rate of interest caused by the continued demand for capital has materially affected business transactions, more particularly for Manchester goods. The woollen districts report a continued demand and firm prices. The demand for money has increased since our last, and rates are rather higher, the present feeling being that th e t en d enc y is still in favour of fur ther advanced rates. We now quote first-class paper 31 to 3i, and other bills and securities 4 to 5, and money on call 2i per cent." The Emigrant, from Port Philip, has 7,230 ounces of gold on board. She left Melbourne April 21. The Island Home, from Geelong, with ac counts of May 6, is also in the Downs, and is believed to have some gold on board. The letters by the overland mail from India will probably be delivered to-morrow afternoon. There is an expectation in mercantile circles that the pressure recently advised as existing in the New York money market will speedily subside, the new regulation of weekly returns of liabilities and assets no longer necessitating the sudden calling in of loans and contraction of circulation, but rather compelling that steady control over issues and dis counts which will render the banks more legitimate aiders of commercial men. There has been a flatter market for public secu rities, and the tempestuous character of the weather exercises an injurious influence. Consols have been 984 and since 98 to The poEzical news just received per telegraph from Constantinople is favourable, and the market may therefore become a little stiffer upon it. The New 3 per Cents. have been 1011 to and the 3 per Cents. 981 to 99. Exchequer Bills have declined to Is. dis count. Bank Stock is not worth more than 228 to 2284; India Stock is at 257 ; East India Bonds are 15s. to 20s. prem. Foreign Securities have been exceedingly quiet. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been done at 45, and the Bonds, without the overdue coupons, at 42i ; Sardinian Stock has been dealt in at 96 and 97 ; Peruvian are nominally 84 to 85i ; Grenada Deferred, Di ; Mexican, 264 to 27 ; and Spanish Deferred, 23i to I. All the principal railway shares have declined Great Western hate given way to 1, North- Western / to 2, Midland 1, and York and North Midland 1. Eastern Counties have risen to 1, and Norfolk Ito 2. The general heaviness of the market is mainly through sympathy with Consols. French Shares have been rather cheaper with the rest. The Gold Mine Shares have been neglected, the Land Companies are barely so good, and the Banks are duller. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From, till Oficial List.) Business done.

In consequence of the complicated nature of the ac counts, an adjournment was granted. SECONDARIES' COURT-(THIS DAY). WHAT IS A LEGAL TEgDER-WHITING V. WATSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 33. uls., the amount of an overcharge under peculiar circumstances. The plaintiff is a rev. gentleman, residing at Cambridge, and defendant is an undertaker. Defendant paid 3/. into court. Mr. Wilkins, of Furnival's Inn, appeared for the plain. tiff, and Mr. Petersdorff as counsel for the defendant. The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff's brother died in London, and plaintiff came to town to see the remains conveyed to Cambridge by railway. The corpse was accordingly removed, and the defendant's billfor coffin, attendances, &c., amounting to 191. 155., was paid. One of the charges in the bill was 51. 15s. for railway charges, but it was ascertained that the actual charge was only 21. 3s. 6d. Plaintiff wrote to defendant on the subject, and said there was an overcharge of 31. in that respect, and defendant at once sent a post-office order for the amount. In a conversation between the plaintiff and defendant, the latter said that at first he was told at the station that the charge would bell. 3s. 6d., but was called back and told it would be Si. 155., but not having paid the company before he made out the bill to plaintiff, he was not aware of the overcharge, and sent a post-office order. The question know raised was whether a post-office order, admitted to have been received but returned, was a legal tender. The Under-Sheriff held that it was, but that the amount tendered did not cover the overcharge. A verdict was therefore given for the plaintiff. In Galignani's Messenger of the 24th we notice the formation of a company to carry out the concession of 99 years of a railroad, called the Seville and Cordova Railway. Capital twenty-eight million francs in shares of 500 fr. First call, 125 fr. per share, and 5 per cent. interest on paid calls during the progress of the works. It will form part of the line from Cadiz to Madrid, and the provinces of Seville and Cordova have granted a subvention of 12, 400, 000 fr. Messrs. Brassey, Parent, and Schaker are the contractors at 26 millions of fr., the concessionaires are the Prince of Wagram, .T. Chaplin, Esq., M.P., Count Francois Clary, Senator— Sir John Easthope, Bart., Juan Pablo Echecopar, banker at Cadiz—F. X. de Ezpeleta, banker at Bor dea ix—Pedro Gil, banker, Paris ; Charles Lafitte, banker, Paris.—Charles Morrison, Esq., Fore-street, London ; Henry O'Shea, banker, Madrid, and Jules Tahabot, Paris. The high standing which most of the projectors hold in public estimation distinguishes this undertaking from many of the babble concerns of which the Peninsula has been the field, and leads us to hope that the benefits of railways will at last be ap plied to Spain under favourable circumstances. TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN SADJEIR, ESQ., M.P.—Nearly four hundred shareholders in the Lonon and County Bank have presented the chairman of the establish ment, Mr. Thomas Sadleir, one of her Majesty's Lords of the Treasury, with three very elegant solid silver candelabra ; valued at 6001., as a mark of their admiration of Mr. Sadleir's munificence in contributing the sum of 4,5001. towards the foundation of a provident fund for the officers of the bank. The National Provin cial Bank of England, following the example of the hon. member for Sligo, has voted the sum of 5001. for the creation of a similar fund, and other large banking establishments in the City intend adopting the same wise and generous course. DEATH OF DEVRIENT, THE TRAGEDIAN.—The Vienna journals announce the death at Ischl, by apoplexy, of the celebrated tragedian, M. C. Devrient, husband of Mme. Schroeder-Devrient, the well-known singer. He was in his 58th year. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS RUSSIA AND TURKEY. News from Constantinople to the 19th inst., say the Turks were anxious for a pacific settlement through the aid of the four Powers, but they re quired some alteration in the note that had been sent from Vienna. A Turkish courier was to pro ceed to that place on the 20th, with the note modi fied according to their wishes. The changes are said not to be of an important character, nor such as will prevent a peaceful solution of the question. In Paris, it is thought that the Emperor of Russia is secretly throwing obstacles in the way, to gain time ; that, notwithstanding all that has been done, his troops will pass the winter in the Princi palities ; and, finally, that he has not yet aban doned the hope of seeing France and England em broiled in some way or other, and their relations in 1854 (Efferent from what they now are. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Con stantinople, 11th :—" The American vessels-of-war have been all united under onB commander in con sequence of the affair of Costa not being yet ter minated, and the Austrian squadron having been concentrated." FRANCE. The only original articles of any interest in the Paris Journals are on the Eastern question. The Assemblee Nationale pretends to.have discovered. the cause of delay in the acceptance by the Sultan of the propositions of the conference. According to this journal, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has been the obstacle. It is not the first time that in sinuations against the representative of the British Government in Turkey have been made, but they have not produced the effect intended. The Siecle says :—" The conduct of the Czar in the East has not certainly been a whim of youth, but a serious attempt seriously followed up. In thrusting a sword into existing treaties, and in de bouching with lighted match on the Turkish terri tory in the midst of peace, Russian diplomacy had most certainly an intention, long premeditated, which it will not leave behind it with the marks of the wheels of its cannon in the dust of the roads of Moldavia. The idea which led Russia to the Pruth will again bring her back there on the first oppor tunity. France ought to watch attentively that no event shall hereafter take her unawares. What has taken place in the East is a proof of that ne cessity." The Bourse was heavy yesterday. The specu lators appeared to be disappointed at the silence of the Moniteur on the Eastern question. The Three per Cents. opened at 80f. 30c., and fell to 80f., at which they closed for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 10c.

SPAIN. The Espana-of the 20th publishes accounts from Man - qla of the 12th June, giving a detail of the operations of Colonel Marina Ozcariz against the pirates in the sea of Jolo. He had killed 80, and made 200 prisoners, and had delivered 36 Chris tians, who were detained in :rons by these outlaws. The Spanish troops had also obtained possession of a quantity of arms and two small pieces of cannon. A report received from the Captain-General of the Philippine Islands, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the Spanish forces on this occasion. The Three per Cents. were done at 448 ; the New Three per Cents., at 23 13-16 ; the Debt of the First Class, at 1.08 ; and that of the Secoitcl, at 4. AUSTRIA. The M3ssaggere di Modena publishes two de crees, one permanently increasing the pay of all officers below the rank of captain in the Modanese service, the other granting an increase of pay to the soldiers in the case of provisions becoming dear. PRUSSIA. The Kirchentag, or Ecclesiastical Conference, is to be held at Berlin from the 20th to the 23d Sep tember. The municipal authorities have voted 1,500 thalers for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of the Conference, and committees have been formed for the triple purpose of arranging the meetings, for providing lodging accommodation for the visitors, and for the commissariat.

A Royal decree has been published at Copen hagen, convoking the States of Holstein for the sth of October next at Ilzeho. M. Schcol de Pinneberg is appointed Royal Commissioner. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of Holstein, 21st, says :—" A Royal decree has appeared, 'which repeals a former one, ordering that the Danish language alone could be used in the discussions of the Provincial States. By this new decree speakers may use German or Danish, as they may think proper. The minutes of the sittings, documents, and bills will be drawn up in both languages." OMNIBUS FARES.—The proprietors of these convey ances have long had it in contemplation to adopt some other mode of payment than the present. One plan now proposed is to have a box affixed outside the door, and into which box every pL - cenger will be requested to pre pay his fare before getting into or upon the omnibus. Another plan is to have tickets, to be purchased of the conductor or at the offices of the proprietor (available for any omnibus belonging to such prop-:etors), with di rcc'ions printed on each t:cket, so that the holder may know ne distance he may iide. If the latter I:,.an be adop:;ed, it is proposed to issue Jai'y, weekly, and monthly Cckets ; and, accorcEng to the number pur chawd, to give the purchase? e'i extra number. THE GLASGOW ORGAN.—Messrs. Gray and Davison, the celebrated organ-builders, have just constructed a noble instrument for the City Hall, Glasgow. It con trins 55 stops and upwards of 3,000 pipes, and is statedto be, by many de3rees, the / most complete organ yet erected in- Scotland. BURIALS IN LONDON.—Her Majesty, by various orders in Council, has directed that burials shall cease in a large number of the vaults and burial grounds of the metropolis. In some cases the order is to take effect on Monday next ' • and in others there is an extension of time for the burials to be continued, but by this time next year, all those places which are enumerated in the orders will be closed. We have reason to expect that in a short time, under further orders, buria!s in towns will be utterly abolished. It must be very grat% lying to Mr. C-. A. Walker, t'ie well-known sanitary reformer, to find that his labours in this cause have been successful so far ; but we hope that his views will be thoroughly adopted so as to give t'ae country towns the benefit of the reform.—Bedford Times. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—Three days ago two women were talking together in a street at Dijon,_ when one of them suddenly f e lt a ra th er severe blow on the shoulder. A. child 15 months old had fallen from a first floor window, and in coming on the woman's shoulder probably saved its life. THE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN GOOD MAN'S-YARD.—On inquiry at the London Hospital yes terday, we ascertained that the wretched man Mobbs, is in a fair way of recovery, and that hopes are entertained whatever may be his future fate, that he will not become a victim to his attempt on his own life. The gates of the hospital were literally thronged during the whole of yesterday by persons who were inquiring after the state of the murderer ; but, of course no one was al-'owed to see him, and the morbidly curious in such maters were fain to be content with the answer that he was not dead, but somewhat better. Although it is perfectly correct, as stated in the brief account of the occurrence which appeared in this journal yesterday, that the drunken ferocity and brutal habits of the man had lat terly gained for him amongst his illiterate neighbours the soubriquet of the " Whitechapel Haynau, ' those who knew him in early days speak of him as an amiable and agreeable man. The nature of his business as a wine cooper, however, exposed him to an amount of temptation against which he was not proof, and he be came an inveterate and confirmed drunkard. This habit, once acquired, was fed by a consuming sense of jealousy which he entertained of his wife ; and, if report speaks truly, his suspicions were not altogether without founda tion. However this may be, there is no doubt that it was in a moment of drunken jealousy that he perpetrated the fiendish crime with which he now stands charged. The unfortunate victim of his atrocity appears to have been rather a good-looking woman ; but she is frightfully bruised, and her face i s disfigure by two monstrous black eyes. The man is of rather small stature, and appears to be about 40 years of age. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A LOVER.--Three days ago a girl 21 years of age was thrown out of the window of a room on the third floor of a house at Rouen by her lover, who accu se d h er o f b e i ng un f a i t hf u l to him. The girl ell into the court, but miraculously escaped with only a slight bruise in her side, which did not prevent her immediately ascending the staircase to her room. The man was arrested and sent to prison. 100 8i al 11 111 1 100 114 all all all 7 100 100 !Aberdeen . !Caledonian. 100 42 34 all all 100 Ambg. Nottng. Bost. & Eastn. June....... Birmng. Wolverh.
