It would be difficult to exaggerate the merits of a document which goes farther than any other official statement yet published, towards pre paring the way for a comprehensive series of re forms in the whole framework of our criminal jurisprudence. Within little more than a hundred pages, are compressed an array of indisputable facts, important evidence, and invaluable statistics, all bearing directly upon the subject of so many anxieties to the Government, and affording the light of experience for the guidance of the judg ment of the Legislature. We have carefully scrutinised the materials now collected together by the Surveyor-General of Prisons, and we can not but acknowledge the existence of the merits apparent on almost every page of the Blue-book, the merits of indefatigable industry, of puncti lious exactitude, and of a really admirable lucidity of arrangement. A minute description is successively given by Colonel JEBB, of the discipline and ma nagement of the several convict prisons under Government. In this manner we are con ducted by him, step by step, as it were, through seven or eight of the principal among these establishments. We traverse the whole range of their respective systems, and examine cautiously into the result of their operation—at Millbank, at Pentonville, at Portland, at Dart moor, at Portsmouth, at Parkhurst, and at the Convict Hulk Establishment. Prior to any in quiry into the existing scheme of convict disci pline, we are made acquainted by the Surveyor- General with the extent of the different prisons, and the amount of accommodation at the dis posal .of the Government. An aggregate of 16,126 (exclusive of 200 females at Millbank, irrespective even of all the numerous prisoners in V a n Diemen's Land) shows the extent of that accOnarnodation. Of these 16,126-2,850 are abroad, 5,046 in Ireland, and 8,030 in England and Scotland : those 8,030 being thus distri buted-1,096 • par, . ni i the Invalid Depots, 625 (juve niles) at H u lk s for pub -k i t ' i ';' - ' , , t, 3,72) in the Prisons and prisons asid e f:i."' and 5,659 iti the eleven the stations Purpose of separate con finement. •, L. to Gibraltar, ,11 er ,,,,:°, 1 , 15 ' i e t ourse, refer d Depots telnt The Invali Australia.

Such are the establishments for male convicts, such is the manner of their distribution, such is the extent of the aCCOMITIO dation, up to this time, at the disposal of her Majesty's Government. Having explained all these particulars, having shown that the total convict population, durin g the year 1852, amounted to 9,525 2,953 having been re ceived during and 6 572 those twelve months, zi , being the number which remained in the convict i prisons on the Ist of January a t the pert edf of that year's commencement —loving explained, moreover, that 2,658 (out of the before men tioned aggregate of 9,525) having been disposed of during 1852, there consequently remained in the different convict prisons no less than 6,867 on the 31st of last December—Colonel JEBB enters minutely and dispassionately upon t:e examination of the complicated and difficult question of penal discipline • 1. applicable to convicts under :sentence of tr:n While ,portation. enCeavourhlg so to balance evidence and contrast statistics, that btl ' y the most effectual mliner to facilit a ) 1 11"- tend in mate solutiOn o f th e ate the ulti pr„ 1,1., m under considera tion, the Surveyor-General of Pr we 61 oiifess it, scarcely tens to Prisons contrives, .” ,"( .du4ration t o )r our amazement „„ _..,,. - ~ e s:4 ,, ? . preserve his ON vn judg f 1 , - -VP:4y, ps::tequilibrium• C olonel el P. • .4.•: •- •..

He is happily not infatuated with a blind credence in the efficacy of some pet theory or in the virtue of some coddled hypothesis. He examines, with exquisite impartiality, the merits and demerits of the different projects in vogue in regard to the ques tion of convict discipline, and over the operations of which he has now watched so long and atten tively, that he must be allowed, on all hands, to have acquired the privileges of experience. It is not by any means surprising, therefore, to find that Oolonel- JERE has investigated the difficulties of the problem under examination, with reference alike to the home and colonial interests involved in its elucidation, or that he has regarded it not merely as a vast financial question, but as one also of great moral importance. In doing this, we have already observed that he preserves the equipoise of his judgment throughout. He never insists upon any scheme whatever as a sort of political panacea, but contents himself with recommending modifications iu the system now for some time past in actual operation. His suggestions are fortunately ad dressed to a statesman eminently qualified to appreciate their value and practicability—that statesman being no other than the energetic and patriotic Home Secretary, Viscount PALMERSTON.

Her Majesty and the Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, and attended by the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary B u lt ee l, th e E ar l Granville, Colonel the Hon. C. Phipps, and Colonel the Hon. C. Grey and Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, Equerries in Waiting, left Osborne at nine o'clock on Saturday morning, the 27th, in her Majesty's steam vessel Elfin, Master Commander Balliston, and arrived at Southampton at a few minutes past ten o'clock. Her Majesty and the royal party travelled thence by the South-Western Railway to Basingstoke, by the Great Western to Leamington, and by the North-Western Railway (by way of Tamworth, Stafford, Crewe, and Chester) to Holyhead. Lascelles Monie Moses Loyal addresses were presented to her Majesty and to the Prince at Tamworth, and to her Majesty at Chester. Upon arriving at Holyhead, the royal party embarked on board the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, where the Marquis of Breadalbane was in waiting to receive her Majesty, and went to the outer harbour in readiness to put to sea for Dublin. Mr. James Caird had an interview with the Earl o Aberdeen yesterday, at his official residence in Downing. street. Dispatches were received at the Colonial-office yester• day, from the Governor-General of Canada and the Go• vernors of the other North American provinces. T.HE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. Yesterday morning at a quarter past 3 o'clock, the Royal squadron left Holyhead, and arrived in Kingstown harbour at 20 minutes past 8. The weather during the voyage across the Channel was as fine as could be wished, and when the sun rose the spectacle presented was an exceedingly imposing one. Behind, and becoming fainter and fainter on the eye, lay the dim outline of the Anglesea coast, and in front could be distinguished in the clear cool light the misty forms of the Wicklow mountains. Over the sea, still heaving slightly beneath the influence of the recent south-westerly gales, the Royal yacht and her attendant fleet of steamers bravely held their way. It reminded one somewhat of the re cent Spithead review to see them, in a long line and without a stitch of canvas set, steadily pushing forward against a smart westerly breeze. Some sent forth no smoke, while others puffed out sable volumes of it from their sooty chimneys into the fresh morning air. Some rolled heavily in the swell of the Channel, while others held their way lightly over it. As the passage length ened before them the fastest vessels began to show un mistakeable evidence of their superior speed. The Royal yacht led the way, and close behind her came the Banshee, the Terrible, and the graceful skimming little Fairy. The rest of the squadron fell considerably behind. On the port side of the foremost ships , and in close attendance, steam e d th e A ng li a , one o f the Chester and Holyhead Company's boats, commanded by Captain Warren, R.N., with Captain Hurst, the naval superin tendent of the company, and Mr. Binger, its manager, on board. As the Royal route lay across the track over which the company in right of its enterprise claims a species of dominion, this mark of attention was appro priately paid ; and the Anglia justified her selection for the duty by a speed which enabled her to sail round and round the squadron—the Victoria and Albert, of course, alone excepted. As the fleet appeared off Kingston Harbour, a royal salute from the batteries and from the formidable portholes of La Hogue thundered forth the news of its approach, and the harbour, crowded with gaily-decorated yachts, presented a highly animated appearance. Her Majesty's early arrival seemed to take the inhabitants somewhat by surprise ; but, as she was not to land till 10 o'clock, there would be ample time given them to assemble in full strength, and to give her a hearty Irish welcome. Already their warm cheers waxed louder, and from all parts people were seen , hurrying to the pier, where a guard of honour was drawn up, and the royal yacht close alongside, ready to land her precious freight. All Sunday the Royal squadron lay quietly at anchor in the new harbour at Holyhead, to the unfinished but stupendous works of which its presence gave an un wonted gaiety and interest. In such a position, with the Skerries in sight on the one hand, the South Stack lighthouse on the other, the Royal party could scarcely fail to have their attention strongly directed to the mag nificent works which are being carried out under the direction of Mr. Rendel for the formation of Holyhead Harbour. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, went to the end of the North Breakwater yesterday morning, examining minutely the very simple yet bold and effective manner in which it is extended, foot by foot, into the sea; and in the afternoon the Queen drove in the Hon. W. 0. Stanley's carriage to the quarries whence the immense mass of materials required in constructing it is obtained. This national undertaking was commenced in 1849, and is in tended to secure a total area of 300 acres for the purpose of a harbour, two-thirds of that space having a minimum depth of seven fathoms at low water. Accommodation will thus be provided for about 400 vessels of all classes, including 70 men-of-war as large as the Duke of Wel lington. The north or great breakwater will be 5,000 feet long and 170 feet wide, and of this immense work 4,000 feet have already been completed to low-water mark-3,500 feet of it being from 14 to 15 feet above high water. The depth at low water thus filled up is from 45 to 48 feet, and some idea may be formed of the magnitude of this mole from the fact that the stonework which surmounts it is about 80 feet above the foundation. The smaller, or eastern breakwater, which protects the harbour on the landward side, will be 2,100 feet long, and 1,000 feet of it have already been formed, in a depth of 30feet at low oraterTand to a width of 100 feet. The contract under which the harbour is being constructed contemplates an expendi ture of about 800,0001., and the outlay so far is under 400,0001. This sum, however, includes the purchase of the surrounding land --a prudent precaution, not hitherto adopted by the Government in the execution of similar undertakings. 1 The anxious expectation of our Irish brethren has at length been fulfilled. Yesterday they had the gratification of receiving their most gracious SOVEREIGN in the Capital of her ancient King dom in Ireland, and of testifying the faithful and devoted loyalty which they felt for the Crown and person of their well-beloved MONARCH. Queen VICTORIA is, indeed, worthy of any tribute of respcct and affection that could be exhibited to wards her, and time has not in any degree abated the enthusiasm of the generous and warm-hearted people who have once more been enabled to tes tify their feelings in the presence of their Royal Mistress. The occasion was one of a peculiarly auspicious character. The QUEEN had long since announced her intention of honouring the Irish Exhibition of Industry with her presence—of personally inspecting the results of the liberality' and public spirit of one of her most useful sub jects —a genuine Irishman, Mr. DARGAN—and of the indefatigable exertions, the tact, and judgment of another, also a true Milesian, Mr. C. P. RONEY. It had been arranged that the visit was to have taken place at a much earlier period of the year, so that there might be no infringement on the time set apart for her sojourn in her Highland home, where the cares and toils of State can be partially laid aside, and the Royal Lady can, for a brief time, yield herself up to those domestic enjoyments to which she is so much attached, and for which she is so eminently qualified. An un expected obstacle, however, prevented the realisa tion of these projects. After the Corporation of Dublin had received notice that they might ex pect the arrival of their SOVEREIGN, just before the appointed time the Prince Consort was at tacked with measles. All the previous plans were, of course, deranged. Even if the QUEEN could have left her sick husband, the visit would have lost a great portion of its attractions. Prince ALBERT had acquired during the period of his naturalisation golden opinions from men of all classes—from the people of Ireland, no less than from the English and Scotch. And, although the reception of the QUEEN would not have been less enthusiastic, there would have been a blank perceptible that must have in some degree impaired the general gratification. Any doubt that might have been entertained was, however, speedily dispelled by the illness of the QUEEN, who was also attacked by the disease ; for a time it was feared that this would have altoge ther prevented the plan from being carried out, and that the Irish Exhibition would have closed without the presence of the Royal party. Those who thought so, however, knew little of the energy and absence of selfishness of Queen VIC TORIA. Much as she loved the quietude of Bal moral—greatly as she benefitted by the pure air of the Highlands, she would notinflict so deep a disappointment on her people of Ireland. The visit was therefore only postponed, not abandoned, and yesterday was fixed for her arrival in the Metropolis of the Sister Kingdom. It is unne cessary to say how generally this laudable anxiety to gratify her Irish subjects was appreciated— how greatly the feelings of affection were stimu lated, or how earnest were the preparations for bestowing the " Cead mule failthe," or the wel come guest. With her usual promptitude and activity, her MAJESTY arrived a little before the anticipated hour, and was near catching the worthy Corpora tion napping. The Lord Mayor had invited the several members of the Corporation to assemble at the Mansion-house at 10 o'clock in the fore noon, in order to form a procession to the rail way station, to receive and present a loyal address to the QUEEN. Her MAJESTY had, however, arrived before the time appointed for their assem bling. At 20 minutes after 8 o'clock the Royal squadron cast anchor in Kingstown harbour. Notice was given to the railway officials to be in readiness shortly after 9 o'clock, and the arrival at Westland-row Station consequently took place before 10 o'clock. The worthy Aldermen and Town Councillors, however, contrived to avoid the trap into which they had so nearly fallen, and took their part in the succeeding pageant to their own intense gratification and the great edification of the gaping multitude. Nothing could have been more cordial, more enthusiastic than the plaudits bestowed on the Royal party during their transit from the Vic toria and Albert to the Vice-regal Lodge. Sufficient to say, that it was a reception worthy of the QUEEN, and of the People—of the QUEEN who merited, and the people who exhibited, so many sterling marks of devoted loyalty. There was but one circumstance to be regretted in all the proceedings connected with the trans action. One Journal had disgraced itself by an article, written in the most vitiated taste, but which, we are convinced, will not find a response from a single Irish heart. Th 3 Nation thought fit, on Saturday last, to call upon the people " to shun the ovation, and progress, and procession." The answer was the congregation of thousands and tens of thousands, engaged in friendly rivalry, in manifesting their loyal zeal, their boundle.3s attachment for the Royal Lady. The petulant and discontented spirit that con eived the vile effusion was the solitary ex ception to the exultation of an entire people ; and. we have no doubt that from the metropolitan .yid provincial press of Ireland there will be an unanimous repudiation of the sentiments put for ward in the article headed "The Slave's Holiday." 'We should indeed feel disappointed if the readers of the Nation, do not protest against the views therein put forward, and which are only worthy of the gentlemen whom Mr. HAMMILL has, under This great work will provide a secure harbour, within which the mightiest fleets may take refuge, and where the great transatlantic steamers will, two yea - L-3 hence, at the nearest point on their homeward voyage, find a convenient place of debarcation fur their passen gers and mails. To the Iri s h t ra ffi c a l so th i s harbour wi'l afford peculiar facile es, and the Irish people anticipating a visit from their Queen, may well be asked to consider, at such a moment, how complete an illustration there works supply of the true paths to prosperity and power. Before they could be undertaken it was neces sary to span the Menai Strait with a railway bridge which is the wonder of the world. That feat was ac complished, not by Government, but by a public com pany, which now anxiously, y e t con fid en tly, l oo k s for ward to the time when the increasing commerce of the world may afford them some return for their enterprise for the immense outlay of capital which it entailed. There is a social and moral interest connected with An ,,eiesea which those who abuse England for her policy to Ireland would do well to ponder over. To diminish as far as possible the distance between the two countries, we have made a little miserable island the theatre of the greatest engineering achievements that the world has ever witnessed. Well, therefore, might the Royal family pause on their way across St. George's Channel and take a leisurely survey of the new harbour at Holy head. They all appeared much struck with the quarries, the young Prince of Wales, es p ec i a lly, w h o b ore a s t one away to remind him of his visit. The Queen returned to the yacht in one of the railway trucks, a rough conveyance for Sovereignty certainly, but one which enabled her more thoroughly to comprehend how the works are carried on. Mr. Rendel was in attendance. During the afternoon the royal tourists also visited the South Stack lighthouse, Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales deocending to the rock on which it stands, and spending some time in its ex amination and in the survey of the fine coast scenery which it commands. Holyhead, small as it is, did not fail during the Queen's stay there in the due manifesta tion of its loyalty. It had its triumphal arches, flags, fireworks, and bonfires, after the fashion of larger places, and under the superintendence of Mr. Evans, of New London-house, a stirring inhabitant, these made a very respectable show.

BRIBING AN EDITOR.—MC JO t ryzal due Midi, of Montpellier, states that a person in that department has bequeathed to th.e chief editor of that journal a sum of 20,000 fr. on condition of his publishing a biographical notice of the testator in his paper. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 80, 1853. BOW STREET.-(THIS DAY). Row AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.- Francis Slowman, a young man, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with violently assaulting a gentleman, of the name of Brown, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, that last night, while in the pit of the Olympic Theatre, which was very full, he was nearly pushed down, and on complaining, the defendant said he was " no gentleman," and, without more ado, knocked his hat off, and struck him a tremendous blow in the face, which blackened one of his eyes. The defendant also challenged him to fight. The defendant denied striking the complainant, who, he stated, grossly insulted a lady, and, moreover, knocked off his hat several times. He certainly did " push" the complainant. After evidence having been given, Mr. Jardine considered that the prisoner had acted in a most unjustifiable manner, and should fine him 3/., or in default of payment, order him to be kept to hard labour for two months. The fine having been paid, the defendant was libe rated. 31 ABLBOROUGH-STREET. - (TEM DAY. UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST A RESPECTABLE TRADESMAN.-Mr. John Willhouse, hatter, 11, New Bond-street, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with, having stolen a purse, containing a pawnbroker's duplicate fo r a go ld watch, the property of Josephine Suchres Mychells, a woman of the town, residing at 32, Great Portland-street. The prosecutrix stated, that shortly after nine o'clock on Friday night last, she met the defendant between Oxford-street and Portland-place ; he asked her where she was going. She replied she was going home, and he then asked her if he could see her home. She said, yes ; and he went with her, and staid about fifteen minutes. While he was there, she took her dress off, and laid it on a chair, in the sitting-room, and then went into the bed-room, leaving defendant in the parlour. On her return defendant laid ss. on the mantlepiece, and said it was for a pair of gloves. As he was leaving, she wished him to wait till she dressed herself to go with him. He declined doing so, as he was in a hurry, and could not stop. He then left without her. The next morning about 10 o'clock she missed from the pocket of.her dress her purse containing a duplicate for a gold watch pledged for 8/. She saw nothing more of the defendant till last night, when she met him in Re gent-street, and gave him in charge. She had ascer tained that the watch was taken out of pledge on Saturday morning. Inspector Parke, C division, said about a quarter to 10 o'clock last night the prosecutrix, accompanied by defendant, came to the station, when she made just the same statement as she had to-day, with the exception of that part, where she stated she took off her dress, that was an addition to what she told him. The defendant denied the charge in tota. lie had never seen the woman till last night ' • his brother's housekeeper, who w as i n cour t, would prove that he was at home a little after nine one the night in question. Prosecutrix was positive defendant was the man. Ellen Newman, housekeeper to Mr. William Hill house, No. 5, Maddox-street, said defendant was stay ing there at present. On Friday night last he came home directly after nine, and never went out after that. Mr. Hardwick said it appeared the highest degree probable, that the prosecutor had been mistaken in the person. It was not likely that a person in defendant's respectable position, and who bore the highest character amongst his neighbours, should descend so low as to commit the offence imputed to him. He should, there fore, dismiss the charge. FRANKFORT BANK.—Letters from Frankfort mention that the Senate have approved the statutes of the pro posed Frankfort bank, but with so many alterations that their promulgation is likely to be deferred for some time. DEMAND FOR SILVER.—The Hamburgh advices state that the amount of silver sent to London during the current week had been 35,0001., while considerable sums were also transmitted from Holland. Nevertheless, the demand in London is still very active. The rate of dis count at Hamburgh, which had recently receded from 5 per cent. to 3 per cent., and now again advanced to 4 per cent., and the quotation of exchange on England had consequently become more unfavourable. RATES OF EXCHANGE.—At Paris the rate of ex change has assumed rather a firmer appearance. Ac counts from Alexandria of the 18th instant. also state that a rise had occurred, which will be likely to check the exportation of bullion to that quarter. The St. Petersburg dates are to the 22d inst., when the quota tion of exchang e on L on d on was slightly less unfavour able, namely, 38id. to 38id. Ships are still extremely scarce, and the rates of tonnage continued beyond all precedent, 475. per ton being offered for tallow, and 87s. 6d. for hemp. RAILWAY IN PERU.—The distribution of the shares in the Arica and Tacna Railway, a Peruvian line of 40 miles, estimated to cost 500,0001., and which is to be constructed under a concession for 99 years, with a gua rantee for the first 25 years of a minimum, dividend of 51 per cent., is now being made. The prospectus of the company was issued in April last, but the allotment was postponed, in order to procure a decree from the Peruvian Government for the payment of the guarantee. At first this guarantee was not understood to be based on any security whatever beyond the mere faith of the Peruvian Government • but it is now stated that the de cree which has been obtained gives a lien on the surplus proceeds of the guano sates in London. INDIAN COMMERCIAL NEWS.—The commercial ac counts from India are satisfactory as regards the pros pects of business at Bombay, while at Calcutta, although there had been some considerable transactions, the im port-markets remained without improvement. - At the Chinese ports the interruption of trade is more com plete than ever, and the increased value of money, in consequence of the hoarding which is going on, leaves little prospect of any immediate cessation of the drain of specie from this side. The Singapore advices are to the 16th of July. The import -market had been inactive, and would continue so until the next month, when the native traders would begin to arrive. STATE OF TRADE.—The accounts from the manufac turing towns, notwithstanding the state of the London money-market, show no change in the activity of busi ness and the steady amount of employment throughout the United Kingdom. At Manchester the extent of transactions has been satisfactory, al;Onghile increased production from the cessation of strikes causes some ten dency to a reaction in prices. At Birmingham the iron trade remains firm, and in most other departments of in dustry also there is an amount of employment which can only be met by the operatives working overtime. The ma nufacture of iron houses for Australia and California is still carried on upon a large scale, and the general ship ment of implements to Australia are maintained to a degree sufficient to cause anxiety as to whether the re quirements of the existing population can by any possibility exceed the supplies already sent. The re sults of the eight weeks' strike among the carpet weavers at Kidderminster, just terminated, are stated to have been disastrous to the men, apart from the fact of stimulating the introduction of new machinery, which, although it may injure them for the moment, is certain, as has lately been shocvn at Not tingham, to create better occupation hereafter. The Nottingham reports state the lace business to be exceedingly good, while, as regards hosiery, al though it is the dull season, the prospects are in every respect encouraging. In the woollen districts the pressure of unexecuted orders is such as to prevent the ordinary markets from being sufficiently furnished, and quotations continue unusually steady. From the Irish linen-markets it is again stated that the supply of goods is in most cases greatly inadequate to the demand, even at the high rates to which prices have advanced, and that there is a strong tendency to a further rise. Here, also, the scarcity of labour has led the principal firms to the resolution •f introducing new machinery, and several factories are about to be erected for weaving linen by steam power. GREAT INDIAN RAILWAY.—The Great Indian Penin sular Railway Company have received an intimation from - the India-house that they will be allowed to make an addition to their capital of 1,500,000/. Their pre• sent capital is 500,000/., which has been found sufficient to construct the experimental line of 35 miles from Bombay to Callian, and on which 5 per cent. interest is guaranteed. Of the fresh sums to be created, 500,000/. is for a continuation of the experimental line to Shaw poor, a further distance of 18 miles, the guaranteed in terest in this case being also 5 per cent. The remaining 1,000,000/. is to enjoy a guarantee of 4i per cent., and to be employed for the commencement of two main lines —one to proceed south-east to Poonah, and the other north-east to Khandeish ; it being understood that while the newly projected Central India Railway Company are to survey a route for junction with the Bengal Rail way at Agra, by way of Baroda, the Great Indian Penin sular Company are to perform a similar service for a junction at Allahabad or Mirzapore. The next meeting of the company will be held in October, when the new shares will be issued to the existing proprietors at the rate of one Si, share guaranteed 5 per cent., and one 101. share guaranteed 4} per cent. for every share at present held. LABUAN COALS.--A new branch of business has been commenced between Singapore and Australia, a cargo of Labuan coals having been shipped from Singapore by the Sophia Moffatt, for Melbourne. From the Island of Labuan the last intelligence was that the Superin tendent of the Eastern Archipelago Company had ex amined one of the company's coal seams on the main land of Borneo, and had found it of good quality, 30 feet thick, and, as is considered, virtually inexhaustible. WANTON OUTRAGES IN CL E RKENWELL.—The most in tense excitem en t h as b een create d i n th e extensive parish of Clerkenwell and its vicinity, in consequence of a large amount of window glass having been wantonly destroyed within this fortnight ; the outrages are not confined to any particular locality, but extend far and wide. It is supposed that the missiles are propelled from an a i r gun, cross-bow, or some other powerful engine, as in many instances the glass has been merely perforated, not hav ing any cracks or stars, which would be the case if not impelled with great violence. It is conjectu re d th at the missiles used are composed of India rubber, or (Abu elastic materials, in consequence of small balls of such substance having been found. NEW ACT FOR THE ItEGTLATION OF PAR ISH V ESTRIES. is enacted by an act just issued, that from and after its passing on the 20th inst., no person shall be required, in order to be entitled to vote or to be present at any vestry meeting, held under the 58th and 50th Geo. 111., to have paid any rate to the relief of the poor of the parish in which such meeting shall be held, which shall have been mace or become due within three calendar months immediately preceding such vestry meeting. Be fore the passing of the act, persons could be required to pay the rates demanded to attend vestry meetings. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS FRANCE. On Saturday the price of flour per sack of 157 kilogramines rose at the Halle to 90f. from 72f., the price which ruled on the 17th. The Minister of War and the Prefect of Police left Paris yesterday for Dieppe. Although there was no political news, the Ex change was violently agitated. The effect produced by the sort of qualified ac ceptance of the Vienna note by the Porte has been extremely unpleasant, so much so that it was thought necessary to post on the Bourse yesterday the following notice :—" The English steamer, which arrived yesterday at Marseilles, was an nounced by a telegraphic despatch from the French Ambassador at Constantinople, dated the 20th. That steamer brings despatches containing the de velopment of the intelligence already known of the acceptance by the Porte, excepting the unimportant modifications, of the note which has emanated from the Conference of Vienna." The notice says very little indeed ; it announces what was already known, and so far as the modifi cations of the Porte are concerned, until such time as we ascertain the opinion of the Emperor of Rus sia on that point, nothing can be said, nothing can be done ; and it would be premature and incorrect to affirm that the question is yet terminated. The manufacturers are gradually recovering from the effects of the dead season, but so far as regards the retail trade the complaint is general of the de cline of business since the conclusion of the Impe rial fetes of the 14th and 15th. Whether just or not, the falling off in the receipts is attributed to the increase which has taken place not only in house rent, but in all the necessaries of life, so that per sons of small income are forced to confine their purchases to articles of strict necessity. The dealers in articles of luxury are particularly affected by this state of things ; and they are obliged to reduce their profits to the smallest possible figure in order to effect sales. The great manufacturers of silk and woollen goods are likewise complaining. The Parisians are beginning to feel some uneasi ness at the high price of flour. The speculators who kept aloof from the corn market for several months purchased an enormous quantity within the last few days, with the hope of selling it at a later period and at a considerable profit. They have succeeded in forcing up the price of the best marks to 90 francs the sack of 157 kilogrammes ; this price is considered unreasonable, and as the late decree permitting the importation of wheat and flour into France at a nominal duty has already produced an effect in the arrival at Marseilles of large quantities of grain y from southern Russia, it is hoped that foreign Competition will defeat the manceuvres of speculators to raise flour to a famine price in Paris. The Impartial, of Boulogne-sur-Mer states that the Emperor and the Empress are shortly to em bark at Dieppe in a State steamer and coast round to the former port. It adds that the commandant of the artillery at Boulogne has received orders from Gen. Canrobert to make arrangements to re ceive their Majesties with a salute of 101 guns, and to be prepared to do so by the 4th of Sep tember. A mass, in music, was celebrated at Constan tinople, in the chapel of St. Louis, dependent on the French embassy, on the occasion of the Fete Napoleon. The officers of four French vessels of war now at Constantinople were present. A dinner of 30 covers, to which were invited some of th• ministers of the Porte, was to take place at the embassy, and a ball was to be given in the evening. There was a considerable fall in the price of public securities at the Bourse yesterday, witho* any political news current, or any reasonable cause assigned for the species of panic which appeared to have seized the speculators. The Three per Cents. opened at 79f. 75c., and fell to 79f. 25c., at which they closed for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 104 f. 90c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,257 f. 50c. ; Rouen, I,oBof. ; Havre, 517 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 890 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 890 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 962 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 957 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 815 f. ; Wes tern of France, 745 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 635 f. ; Great Central, 557 f. 50c. ; Lyons to Geneva, 560 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 872 f. 50c. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. By electric telegraph we l earn th a t a British steamer arrived at Marseilles on Sunday. She carried dispatches containing further details of the news of the acceptance by the Porte of the Vienna note, with a few unimportnt modifications. The Journal de Franefort, under date of Vienna, 25th, says :—" The last courier from Bucharest has confirmed the news that the differerence be tween Russia and Turkey had been smoothed down in its most essential noints. The Austrian consul-general had received an account that the Russians would evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia by the 2d noptembor. This romilt is mainly at tributed to the mediation of the Austrian cabinet." The Porte has sent Chekeb Effendi into Servia as commissioner extraordinary. A Constantinople letter of the 15th states that the Egyptian fleet, which arrived there the pre ceding day, consists of eleven ships, having col lectively 610 guns. It is under Cie command of Hassan Rachi. Be: bre the fleet sailed all the Coptic Christians who were in the troops to be em barked were dismissed. The Journal de Constantinople, the semi-official organ of the Turkish Government, says " that an honourable peace is likely to be concluded." The Cronstadt Satellite of the 20th states : " To-day we have no news from Bucharest, but our last letters leave no doubt whatever that the Russian troops will take up their winter quarters in the Daitubian Principalities." Notwithstanding the prospects of peace, the ex pedition of troops to Vienna still continues. The second division of the Egyptian fleet has also re ceived orders to come to Constantinople. The Russian Consul-General, M. de Fock, has been recalled from Egypt. SPAIN. A royal decree in the Madrid Gazette of the 24th enacts that in order to carry on actively the coining of decimal money, the Mint of Jubia shall be re established, and all the copper coin belonging to the government in Catalonia shall be conveyed to it to be recoined. The decree further enacts that coins of a half-real and a demi-decime shall cease to be coined, and that instead of them coins of the same weight of the value of cuartillo, or twenty five hundredths of a real shall be struck off. A letter says that the Minister of the Interior is drawing up a project for reducing the number of provinces in the kingdom from 49 to 20, which will be a great saving. The same letter says that the attacks of a certain portion of the English press on the institutions and leading personages of Spain had begun to excite attention in the political cir cles : and that it was considered impossible to pass them under silence. It characterises some of them as " gross calumnies," and as " malevolent and absurd." The heat had begun to diminish. The Three per Cents. were done at 44g ; the New Three per Cents, at 23t1 ; the Debt of the First Class, at 10 ; and that of the Second, at 51. PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter of the 26th, in the Elberfield Gazette, states that the Ministerial crisis is at an end, and that the Cabinet will not undergo any modification. SWITZERLAND. The Ticinese Gazette publishes a telegraphic dis patch from Berne, dated the 23d, stating that the Federal Council has again demanded at Vienna that the blockade of Ticino shall be raised. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria of the 17th says :—" A dangerous spirit of fanaticism, excited by the tile mas, may be noticed amongst the soldiers and Mussulman population, and in some places ex cesses have been committed ; in fact, during the last fifteen days there have been almost daily dis turbances, and the police have not appeared dis posed to repress them severely. The Egyptian soldiery especially is very insolent, and the ties of discipline have become relaxed by the negligence of the officers. The director of the police of Cairo, on the contrary; has by' his prudent measures suc ceeded in preventing any commotion in that place, and public order is considered secure." JAPAN. The Press of Vi enna o f th e 23th says :—" It has been said that Russia wanted to extend her influ once in the East of Asia ; but it appears that she wishes to ac t no t on ly on the continent, but also in the islands. The Trieste Gazette contains the following intelligence relative to this matter : ' The arrival of a Russian squadron at Hong Kong, composed of the Pallas, 52 gun frigate, and the Dwina and Wostock steamers, of 10 and 4 guns, to take in provisions, had produced a great sensation. The squadron was bound for Japan to act with the Americans, and to show the Emperor of Japan that foreign powers can obtain by force what is not given spontaneously. It is known that com mercial relations exist between the Russian pos sessions in America and the northern ports of Japan. Admiral Budiabir is on board the Pallas. Amongst the officers on board is Baron de Krude ner, aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Constan- tinti,.' " l'o M. H. GN HER B12?1:11114 r. (From Eliza Cook's Journal. ) Van, for by that quaint name I know thee best, Wilt thou accept these fcw poor ivords of greetl'o. Poor, poor indeed, and vet a bosom-guest Like thee can need formal speech at meeting. I cannot mark this day with costly gift, I do not offer what is rich or rare ; I've little wealth—and some may say less thrift-- But I've a heart, and that thouet ever share. Our friendship did not rise in headlong speed , But grew like sunshine out of misty morn; We seem'd to weave Love's mantle without heed, And yet how well the home-made garb has worn. Year after year, dark nights and summ er days — In fireside chairs and grassy nooks we' ve spent; I was a fitful dreamer, bat my ways Were pleasant to thee, and thouwert content. I knew not what a gem had strung itself Upon my thread of life, till life seemed breaking; I knew not that Truth's pearl had hung itself Upon my breast, until that breast was aching. And then thy deep and holy well of love Opened before me with unceasing spring ; Thou wert among the few who stand to prove That Friendship is not all a shadowy thing• What thou hest met and done, and borne for no, None but myself and God will ever know; My rill of Song can never bring to thee. The ocean-current of my bosom's flow. Thou art to me as dew is to the flower, That has been crushed by some untowa rd tresd ; For like that dew thou hast a secret power To help me raise again my stricken head. Oh, thou halt been so quiet and so tender, So calmly earnest, and so firmly kind, That every tie which human heart can render, Links mine with thine to sanctify and bind. Thou art most dearly loved, and yet when nigh W e, No watcher can detect upon my brow A ray to tell my spirit-star is by me, Nor hear my words pour forth with warner gko• nal For those who cling 'mid lengthened pain and " e x Seem to partake of nature half divine ; And thou art held by me in sacred keeping, As something fitting for an altar shrine.

THE HERO OF SCINDE. r Lieutenant-General Sir Charles James Napier died on the 29th of August, at 5 o'clock a.m. He expired under the old colours of the 22d Regiment, for his son-in-law, Major M'Murdo, seized those glorious relics from the corner of his chamber, and fastened them to the head of his open bedstead before breathing ceased. That open bedstead is now his bier ; his head lies immediately bemeath the fine picture of Meeanee, by Jones ; and the glorious colours of the 22d still wave over him. On each side of the corpse is an Indian spear hung with Belooch shields ; and near him are sabres, matchlockn, and other trophies taken in battle. At his :feet is the Chief Ameer's white marble chair of state, over the back of which are arranged the General's military orders, his grand collar and cross or the Bath. On the seat lie his own sword of secrvice and other accoutrements worn in fight. Facing the chair is the silver testimonial pre sented to him by the civil service of Scinde ; and at its foot are two swords of honour—one pre sented by the Earl .of Ellenborough, the other by the officers of the 1.02 d Regiment, which he com manded in a littoral expedition against the Americans. Last, and most esteemed of all, is placed, close beside him, a swoJed of honour presented by the Belooch Sirdars, his desperate enemies in war ; but, after experiencing his government in peace, his fervent admirers and firm friends ; for, when his power was over, those generous men gave him the sword as a testimony that they regarded him as the pacificator and benefactor of their country. Therefore it lies bes ide him in death. Thus lie rests amidst honours, not accorded by factious power, but won in war by a prompt genius and strong arm; in peace, by a wise head and gentle heart. THE CROBHAM CAMP. The following is an extract from a letter from the Adjutant-General of the Forces to Commissary- General Sir R. Routh, K. 0.8. Horse Guards, Aug. 22, 1853. The camp at Chobilam having broken up, and the troops dispersed to their various quarters, the General Commanding-in-Chief has imposed on me the agreeable duty of conveying to you the expression of his entire satisfaction at the admirable manner in which the Com missariat arrangements have been conducted and carried out during the whole period of the encampment, and with the quality and regularity of the supplies ; request ing that you will have the goodness to inform Mr. Deputy Commissary-General Adams and the other gen tlemen of the Department acting under your direction how fully sensible his Lordship is of the advantages the troops have derived from the activity, zeal, and intelli gence displayed by them in the performance of their important duties. GENERAL POST OFFICE, Auch PlBs3.—The packet established last year, by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, to maintain a monthly communication be tween Savannah, the Bahamas and Jamaica, having been withdrawn, closed mails can no longer be for warded via Savannah, to the Bahamas, and to Jamaica. THE ROYAL FAMILY IN EDINBURGH.—We understand that three of the Royal children who are not to accom pany her Majesty and Prince Albert to Dublin—con sisting, it is probable, of the Princess Royal, th e Prin cess Alice, and the Princess Helena—are expected to arrive in Edinburgh on Tuesday afternoon from London. Apartments have been prepared for them in Holyrood Palace ; and, after a day's repose, the illustrious party are to resume their journey to Balmoral on Thursday morning. Her Majesty and Prince Albert will arrive in Edinburgh, according to the present arrangements, on Monday week, by the Caledonian Railway, from Dub lin. After resting one night at Holyrood they will take their departure for Balmoral the next day.—Edinburgh Courant. THE EARL OF ABERDEEN.—The portrait of the Earl of Aberdeen has just been placed in the Town-hall. The frame, which is of elegant material and workmanship, bears the following inscription :—" The Right Hon.
