Another of those specious documents in which the CZAR endeavours to justify his occupation of the Danubian pro vinces, his wanton aggression on a friendly terri tory, his deliberate violation of the treaty of 1841, to which he was a party. The present missive comes in the form.of a circular letter from Count NESSELRODE to the diplomatic agents of Russia at the different European Courts, and it is, if possible, more insolent in its assumptions, more illogical in its reasoning, and more glaringly fallacious in its assertions, than any of those by which it was preceded. The AUTOCRAT still manifestly conceives that bullying will prove efficacious, and that the most impudent falsehoods will be received as truth, if promulgated with the requisite amount of bluiter ing and swagger. That he " reckons without his host" in this respect, will be easily understood by those who are acquainted with the almost unani mous feelings of the PEOPLE of France and Eng land. We say emphatically the " PEOPLE," for, however Ministers may vacillate and temporise_ or public journals may tergiversate—the PEOPLE Will still compel any Government to obey the popular will in some matters, and any so-called " director of public opinion" to follow that opinion which it can longer lead or direct. His mistake may, however, be attributable partly to the fact, that the " excellent ABERDEEN" occupied the chief position in the British Cabinet, and that the antics of the Peace Society were thought to express the views and feelings of at least a considerable por tion of the English community, and his eyes will not be opened until he finds the clear and un questionable expression of clear and unflinching determination on the part of the Western Powers. Be still thinks, as we have already stated, that bullying will prove effective, and under that erro neous view of the case he may be led into other proceedings calculated still further to complicate matters already sufficiently complicated, and to materially lessen the prospects of a pacific solution of the difficulty. It is with such views that he has sanctioned the circular now under notice, in which, while he reiterates his hypocritical expressions of modera tion, declaring that he requires no new conces sion, makes no demand for the extension of rights and privileges, but simply demands a confirma tion of what he had long possessed; and he again puts forward the course of action which he in tends to pursue, in consequence of the wilful and deliberate infraction of the rights which he has so long enjoyed (!) namely, the protectorate" of his co-religionists in the East—it may possibly hereafter be extended to the entire globe--and the restoration of the status quo, " the privileges which they pos sessed ab antiquo under the aegis of their Sove reign." From this protectorate he does not deny that there may result to Russia what may be pro perly termed a " religious patronage." But this, he repeats, he has at all times exercised in the East ; and he inquires, "If hitherto the indepen dence and the sovereignty of Turkey have been able to reconcile themselves to the exercise of this patronage, why should not both be able to endure it for the future, from the moment that our pre tensions are reduced to what, after all, is only a simple confirmation i" It will thus be seen that his assumption is something analogous to that Pkw .ch the POPE p u t f orward with respect to the '1 - man Catholic popul a ti on of other countries ; 4 that he goes much further, for he claims Atemporal sovereignty over a ll 4 professors , 1;•ii the Greek religion, wh erever the •eary may , 9g situated, in the East. Thi s is clear ly es t, a _ "."blished, by his assertion of the "privileges which they (his co-religionists) possessed ab antique UNDER THE IEGIS OF THEIR SOVEREIGN." But it is not merely so far as the Porte is con cerned that he carries his blustering. He ad dresses the Western Powers for the first time, if NA/ kir ,. • r not in directly menacing, at least in very ominous and significant, language. After speaking of his various demands from the SULTAN, he says— "On putting this ultimatum to the Porte, we parti cularly informed the Cabinets of the Great Powers of our intentions. We may especially name France and Great Britain, whom we had engaged not to complicate the difficulties of the situation by assuming an attitude, or prematurely taking steps which, on the one hand, would have the effect of encouraging the Porte in a course of opposition, and, on the other, might involve t hem further than they then were in a question relating to the honour and dignity of the EMPEROR." This intimation of his sovereign will and pleasure he seems, or pretends, to have considered all that could be required to insure compliance. He could not for a moment suppose that other Powers would have had the audacity to interfere between his rebellious vassals and himself any more than the former would have ventured to refuse his ultimatum. He thus gives expression to his disappointment : " I regret to announce to you this day, that this double inducement h as b een un f or t una t e ly tried in vain. " The Porte, as you w ill perce i ve by the subjoined letter of Reschid Pacha, has returned a refusal, or at least, an evasive reply to my note. " Further, the two Maritime Powers have not thought fit to accede to the proposition which we had recom mended to their serious consideration. Taking the ini tiative, they have thought it necessary to forestal, by a prompt and e f fective step, those which we had merely announced to them as contingent (eventudlee), inasmuch as we subordinated their effectual carrying out to what ever might be the final resolution of the Porte ; and further, at the moment I write, their execution has not yet commenced. They have precipitately sent their fleets to the very shores of Constantinople ; they already occupy the waters and the harbours of the Otto man empire at the mouth of the Dardanelles. By this forward movement, the Two Powers have made a threa tening demonstration towards us, which, as we had already forewarned them, must add new complications to the crisis." And adds : "In the face of the refusal of redress by the Porte, upheld by the manifestation of support from France and England, it has become more impossible than ever to modify the resolutions which the EMPEROR had attached to that refusal." Under these circumstances it is that he has been compelled to order his troops to cross the fron tiers, and to occupy the Principalities. He still disclaims every idea of conquest. or extension of territory. But he adds to his previous conditions, not only the concession by Turkey of all that he has hitherto demanded, but that she shall " take order to remove the pressure exercised by the attitude of the two Maritime Powers." This he pretends to be one of the causes of his invasion, although Besika Bay is more than 150 miles from Constantinople, and in waters open to all the world. As well might the Ribandmen of Tip perary complain of the establishment of a police force as an insult to their honour, or an undue suspicion of their objects. It is unnecessary to offer further comment on this extraordinary production. We trust it will excite into activity those who have hitherto ex hibited such deplorable apathy and carelessness in matters where the best interests, as well as the honour, of the British nation are so intimately concerned. It cannot be denied that Government has taken a course with regard to Jamaica at once concilia tory and hopeful. It has recalled a Governor whose six years' term of office was expired, and thereby at once removed one of the parties in the quarrel, without giving a triumph to the other party. It has appointed a new Governor, Mr. BARELY, who has proved his disinterestedness, his firmness, and his powers of conciliation also, in another of the old slave colonies, Guiana, where the difficulties to be encountered were of a pre cisely similar kind ; and it has held out to the Assembly pecuniary inducements, which, though great to Jamaica, will cost us next to nothing, to enter upon a satisfactory course of constitutional and financial reform. It is no mean testimony to the merit of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S proposals that both Earls DERBY and GREY concurred sub stantially with them, and only offered a little friendly criticism on some points of detail. With such a Governor as Mr. BAnKLY, and such a disposition as that evinced by the leaders of all parties here, the House of Assembly has an opportunity, such as can hardly be sur passed, of burying all byegones in oblivion, and of devoting itself afresh to the real interests of all classes in the Island. If it will do so, we think with Lord WHARNCLIFFE that, in an island where nature has done so much, and where there is a tropical population capable of great energy, if it be fairly summoned into action, there is no reason to despair of the future for our beautiful Queen of the Antilles. Jamaica has never had a fair trial. Slavery and monopoly were long its bane, and during the reign of these adored but impoverishing tyrants, the cry of "distressed planters" was raised periodically almost as regularly as that of " distressed agri culturists." The almost sudden extinction of slavery, and the lingering death of its commercial monopolies, especially the latter, told most dis tinctively on its prosperity. The whites could not endure to look upon the blacks as fellow-freemen ; it was morally impos sible for them to lay aside coercion for persuasion, the whip for wages. They unfortu nately repelled the negroes from free labour by the double folly of offering very low wage; and taxing vindictively, and therefore heavily, all such imported articles of consumption as were most needed by the negroes. To this they added demanding high rents for their cabins and gardens. Some men of moderation succeeded better with their former slaves ; some called in the missiona ries as arbitrators, and settled a satisfactory scale of wages ; but the generally dogged temper of the dethroned planters, the high rents, and the taxes on provisions, drove great numbers of the negroes, who otherwise were slow to leave the estates, to become squatters wherever they could. More over, with little labour, they could provide them selves with house, food, and clothing for a tropi cal climate ; and kindly-intentioned persons here, co-operating with the missionaries and other island philanthropists, advanced considerable sums of money in the purchase of land, which was very cheap, to be retailed in small allotments to the emancipated slaves ; a step which whilSt it me cases of arbitrary conduct, and tended to create a class of independent and respectable peasants, yet also tended to lessen the number of labourers for hire, and to draw the best hands from the labour-market by the prospect of respectable inde pendency. The Hill Coolie immigration, if it furnished a partial and rather costly antidote, yet worked great mischief through driving the native population, which after all is the real labour power of the island, more and more to seek their support by any means in preference to working for wages ; and thus in every way the temper of the former slaveholders injured their natural sup ply of free labour. Of course the emancipated, on their part, were not in the temper to find free dom less remunerative than slavery. Not less prejudicial to the exertion, on which all legitimate prosperity must depend, has been the gradual destruction of the monopoly duties on sugar. First, by equalising the duti es on -East and West India sugar, and then by admitting slave-grown sugar to competition ; while even till the last session of Parliament they have been deluded by " Planters' friends," with the hope of something again in the shape of protection. That hope was, of course, buried for ever with the im mortal minority of 53 ; and to unrestricted com petition the unfortunate and long-beguiled whites of Jamaica must now submit. Although, how ever, they no longer doubt this, yet, of course, their temper is not improved by finding that hope deferred has ended in hope completely baulked. The quarrel which has lasted for some time be tween the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council has, in consequence, come to its climax: the former resolve that they will transact no business with the latter, and the latter refuse to give way. The result being of like effect, with an irreconcileable quarrel between our House of Lords and House of Commons ; all busi ness is at a stand-still, and the taxes, which are voted annually, having ceased, the revenue has ceased also. The Council, however, bears no resemblance to our House of Lords. It consists entirely of salaried - government officials, its salaries dependent on an annual Tote of the. ILLNESS AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT. From details which have reached us, we believe we are right in stating that there is more illness at present among the members of her Majesty's Government than was ever known to have prevailed among the members of any previous Government. Lord Aber deen and the Marquis of Lansdowne, it is well known, are what is called "generally ailing "—their illness being chiefly that which is incident to advanced years. Just now the dissensions on the Turkish question, which notoriously exist in the Cabinet, have not im proved the health of either noble lord. Lord John Russell's indisposition is generally supposed to be at least partially feigned, because it is more " con venient " for himself and the Ministry generally that he should not be in the House of Commons, to have to answer disagreeable questions or to engage in embar rassing discussions. But in this respect an injustice is done to the noble lord. He is really ill, though some what improved in health. Another Cabinet Minister is also much indisposed, as no one can fail to perceive who observes his countenance; while the health of one of the most able and enterprising members of the Government, but not holding a seat in the Cabinet, has suffered so much within the last few weeks, that his physicians have found it necessary to order an immediate and entire cessation from the discharge of his official duties. —Morning Advertiser. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR WINDSOR (THIS DAY). —This morning her Majesty and the Court left Bucking ham Palace for Windsor. The Royal party occupied three carriages, and was attended by a guard of honour to the new station of the South-Western Railway in the Wandsworth•road. Her Majesty and suite were re ceived under a magnificent marquee erected by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of Duke-street, Southwark. The august party having taken their seats in the Royal train, the signal was given and the train departed. THE ORDER OF THE THISTLE.—The insignia of this ancient order of Scottish knighthood, vacant by the demise of the venerable Marquis of Huntley, will, we understand, be conferred on one of the following noble men—the Dukes of Argyll and Hamilton, and Lords Elgin, Home, and Haddington—but the formal investi ture of the new knight will, it is expected, not take place until next season. DEATH OF THE HON. MISS ELPHINSTONE DE FLA HAULT.—The Count and Countess de Flahault and fa mily have been placed in mourning by the premature demise of their daughter, the Hon. Louisa Elphinstone, who died on Friday in Grosvenor-square. The deceased young lady was granddaughter of Admiral Lord Keith. ARRIVALS OF GOLD.—lmports of gold from Port Philip have taken place yesterday to the amount of 52,800 ounces, valued at 211,2001., 46,000 ounces having arrived by the Stebonheath, which sailed on the sth of April, and 6,800 ounces by the Syria, which left nearly a month previously. THE ELECTION OF A SHERlFF.—Yesterday a com mon hall was held for the election of a sheriff, in the room of Mr. Shepperson, who had been elected, toge ther with Mr. Turnley, by means of one of those dis graceful manoeuvres in use for picking the pockets of gentlemen liable to be put in nomination for the office. The Lord Mayor and some of the aldermen, the sheriffs, the recorder, the town-clerk, the city solicitor, and other corporation officers appeared upon the hustings at two o'clock. The recorder stated to the very meagre assem bly whom he called the livery, that they were met to elect a gentleman to serve with Mr. Turnley as sheriffs of London and sheriff of Middlesex, in the room of Mr. Shepperson, who had been excused from taking upon himself the office by the vote of the common council, on account of ill-health. The common crier then an nounced Alderman Wire and Mr. Thomas Morris as the names of the candidates for the vacant office, and the majority of hands appeared for the former gentleman, who was accordingly declared in the usual form to be elected. The hall was then dissolved. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A BODY.—Yester day afternoon, as the City of Paris steamer was passing Freshwater-wharf, Billingsgate, from Boulogne to its station at London-bridge, owing to the agitation of the water by its paddle-wheels, the body of a man of respect able appearance was forced up from the bed of the river. in his w p a o rd sset ad on le a , gold was w inf at o c i h m a e n d d o c f ha t i h n e . The decea se d was d ressed in a suit of black, and he had s circumstance, r. W rWright son,t on, when, upon inquiries being made by him, he ascer tained that the deceased, who was a horse-dealer, and whose name is James Hill, on Friday last shipped some horses on board the City of Paris, which he was to ac ' company. When the steamer left London-bridge he could not be found, upon which the horses were carried to Boulogne without him. He was about 25 years of age, and was to have been married on his return from Boulogne. How he came into the water is unknown. Assembly, and to add to the unpleasantness of the affair these very salaries are the point in dispute. The Assembly demands a reduction of 20 per cent., as necessitated by the undeniably diminished resources of the island. The officials plead a vested right in their salaries. Each side has much to say in its own behalf ; but, under all the cir cumstances, we agree with the Duke of NEW CASTLE in thinking it not very creditable to the Council to persevere so strenuously in the cause of their own salaries merely, since it is not pretended that they can continue the same salaries to their successors. High-minded men, not blinded by passion, would have protested and submitted, and to secure among themselves 14,000/. a-year would not have sacrificed 1,000/. a day of the island's revenue, by rejecting the bills which voted the supplies minus the reductions. Mr. BARKLY has certainly set them the right example. The salary of the Governor has already been reduced from £B,OOO to .£6,000. He wished his own salary to be reduced from that sum to £5,000 immediately, as an earnest of the course which he considered it essential to take. In Guiana he had in like manner, on learning that it was wished to lower all salaries, sent them word at once to take £l,OOO off his own as Governor. The House then, however, refused to accept the offer during his Governorship ; and no one would be sorry to learn that the planters in Jamaica were capable of a similar appreciation of disinterested conduct in high station. Besides sending them such a Governor, the Duke proposes to offer them the credit of this coun try to enable them to pay 3 per cent. instead of 6 per cent. on their debt of £700,000 ; also a loan of £50,000, to enable them to abolish, by moderate compensation, a considerable number of offices, which, in fact, is more needed than the retrench ment in salaries. It is proposed, however, that out of about 15,000/. saved to them by the loan, they are to apply the larger half to the formation of a sinking fund which will cancel the whole debt in about 30 years. It is also required, as an essen tial condition of the aid, that the Assembly shall place the taxation on a similarly permanent footing to that of the mother country ; and that the As sembly itself shall renounce its present anomalous powers, in virtue of which it combines with its legislative functions administrative and financial functions also. It is quite evident that the grossest abuses do, as might be expected, arise from such an arrangement. Each member seeks the favour of his constituents, by any job he can palm for them upon the island exchequer ; each again to carry his own point must help others to carry theirs. This, together with their taking the management of the public roads, contracts of service, collection of revenue, and, to a great extent, the parochial taxes also, directly into their hands, has resulted in a system of gross and ruinous mismanagement and jobbing• Not unless all these abuses be freely corrected does Government offer to guarantee the requisite credit for reducing the interest of the debt, and diminishing the number of officials. The Duke of NEWCASTLE looks to responsible govern ment as the desirable issue of the present struggle. The Earl of DERBY sees in this, in our colonies, only the rule of party ; Earl GREY foresees the same result, but still thinks the rule of party in finitely preferable to the present system, which, indeed, is just now a perfect dead-lock. We think that though party, as under a WALPOLE or a PITT, may domineer for a time, it must yield ultimately to responsibility and open discussion. COURT CIRCULAR. THE HEALTH OF THE PRINCE CONSORT. The following bulletin of Prince Albert's health was issued yesterday : "BUCELNGRAM PALACE, Monday, July 11. " His Royal Highness Prince Albert is passing ;hrough the disease favourably. "JAMES CLARK, M.D." MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, and attended by the Hon. Fl ora Macdonald, took a:drive yesterday morning in an open landau and four. Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Wait ing, attended on horseback. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 120 Pernam and Maranham, at 60. to 74d. ; 20 Bahia at bid. ; 300 Egyptian at bpd. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat at 31d. to 4id. per lb. Railway shares were steady but firm. - Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Majesty yesttrday. Mr. Dumbell and Mr. Canister, members of the House of Keys, of the Isle of Man, and Mr. J. Mea dows White, as a deputation from the House, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Home-office on the subject of the Customs Duties Bill affecting that island. A deputation from the Local Board of Health for Dartford had an interview yesterday with the General Board of Health at their office, Whitehall. The deputa tion consisted of Messrs. Tasker, Sanham, and Hay wood, and were attended by Mr. Johnstone, the Sur veyor to the Local Board. In the private letters from Germany and France there is this morning no particular information in addition to that received by the public journals, but the view taken of the last " Circular " of Count Nesselrode is that it proves wavering on the part of Russia. There are many here who entertain precisely the same opinion, after careful dissection, throwing aside the verbiage and the Jesuitical pleading of the document. The state of the Buenos Ayrean markets is very well described in some remarks by the editor of the British. Packet, and should be well considered by exporters. He observes that : " The effective demand or actual consumption has been still less, there' is a positive addition to e4sting stocks, that is much to be regrett e d ; as it onlf depresses the general market, entailing a direct loss on both importer and retail dealer, without a proportionate or appreciable benefit to the ultimate consumer. " Foreign manufacturers, we presume, reason in the fol lowing manner :—That goods once prepared for the River Plate market may as well be forwarded to their destina tion, so as to be in readiness when wanted. They aro only dead stock in England, for example, and the additional amount of freight and charges is balanced by the chances of a sale. " Were they new articles, or the only articles of th e same kind in the market o f their destination, this argu ment would be plausible ; and the probabilities of the adventure a legitimate problem of mercantile calculation. But circumstances alter cases, and if the market be sup plied, and abundantly supplied, with the same or similar goods, the hazards of the adventure are no longer confined to the direct remittance, but re-act on the whole previously 'existing stock. This has been the effect of the late arrivals, and must continue to be the consequence so long as the present state of things l as t. . . " Some inquiries were being made for the interior provinces, but the decree declaring the city in a state of rigorous seige, with the consequent closing of the custom-house, prevented their execution at the mo ment ; and it is not un lik e ly th a t th e par ti es inte rested may have had recourse to Montevideo, or some other point, where the articles could be procured. By a recent decree, the government has re-opened the custom house, both for shipping and discharging ; an arrangement that ought not to be deviated from, except in cases of ex treme emergency. In attention also to our exceptional cir cumstances, it has declared the port open for the introduc tion of wheat, flour and provisions of every description for man and for beast ; abolishing provisionally the established duties, and ordering every facility and encouragement to be held out for the traffic. "In this department the general market has hitherto been abundantly supplies, with less variations in prices than might have been expected in the circumstances. The articles most in demand are flour and coal ; which at present command exorbitant prices. " As to return-cargoes, our prospects are as bleak and unsatisfactory as our bitterest enemy, General Urquiza himself not excepted, could possibly desire. Stocks of ex port produce in the city are completely exhausted, and we believe that few of the foreign vessels—certainly none with any pretensions to decency—have availed themselves of the illicit contraband of the besiegers." The English Funds have been very steady, but not so buoyant, and this is ascribed to the numerous "op tions" that are outstanding. The jobbers who have - sold these "options" will naturally desire that the mar ket shall be kept as quiet and free from fluctuation as possible, to prevent the "takers" either putting or calling their stock, and it remains to see whether money sales or purchases will frustrate this intention by pro ducing any marked"change.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—.Donna Diana is the name given to a very sprightly comedy. Great elegance of language, combined with pointed wit and keen satire, softend down, withal, by delicate sentiment, are its cha racteristics. This comedy, as given last night at St. James's Theatre, is an adaptation, by Carl West, of the original Spanish comedy by Moreto, a contemporary and a rival in fame of Calderon. Nor is it in Germany alone, where for more than thirty years it has main tained a high place on the stage, that it has been adapted. In France, Moliere made it the groundwork of his Princesse d'Elide ; whilst in Italy, under the title of the Principessa Pilosofa, Gozzi obtained for it a most favourable reception. The play was eminently success ful ; and praise is due to the performers for the manner in which they filled their respective parts. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.---The professional friends of M. Jullien having united together to present that gen tleman with some token of their respect previous to his departure for America, gave a concert last night at Drury-lane Theatre, over which the maestro himself presided. The house was crowded, and the reception that he met when he took his accustomed place in the orchestra, proved that the public, no less than the pro fession entertain the warmest feelings of regard for one who has been a frequent and active minister to their pleasures. The fittings provided for the bal masque this evening were used upon the occasion, and the orchestra, which spreads its huge length across the back of the stage upon those popular festivals, was brought into requisition now. The instrumentalists mustered in great force—few orchestral players of any eminence being absent. The programme was of a more varied character than that usually constructed for a promenade concert. The music to Meyerbeer'a. Struensee, the allegro and storm movement from Beethoven's Pastorale, the British Army quadrille, and the overture to Oberon were the principal compositions in which the orchestra was con cerned. The directors of the Royal Italian Opera, joining in the general desire to serve Jullien, permitted Tamberlik, Formes, and Madame Castellan to sing, and the "Il mio Tesoro" of the first-mentioned artist, the "Va sbratnando " of the second, and the " 0 luce di quest' anima" of the third, provoked not only hurri canes of applause, but in two of the cases vociferous en cores. Madame Doria also sang, and Herr Reichart played his " Carnaval " variations on the flute as only he could play them. Later in the evening Mr. Sims Reeves was announced to sing ; likewise Miss Birch and Miss Dolby. The concert during the time we were present went off with every symptom of satisfaction, and the crowded state of the house intimated the agreeable fact that the pecuniary results were likely to be con siderable, the more so as the ordinary tariff of admission was increased one hundred and fifty per cent. STRAND THEATRE.—Last night was performed, for IN RE EGAN. the first time, in this theatre, the grand burlesque Italian opera, "Sambo Dampalus, King of Tim-buc-too by Act of Parliament." In the production of this new play, the lessee, Mr. Al'croft, has attempted, as he him self says, to render the operatic burlesque more popular than it has hitherto been ; and in this, we may predi ca t e that his efforts will not have been made in vain. With this view, he has selected some of the best morceaux in the chefs-d'csuvre of Rossini, Donizetti, Mozart, Auber, Balfe, &c. , and has adapted them with great ta s t e t o the new lbretto, to which the jovial among the public were treated yesterday. It may be stated that the com position of the latter was suggested by Byron's Sardan apalus, but has undergone a complete transformation, and received a more stage-like appearance ; for Byron, it is known, never intended to have that brilliant fancy of his prepresented. The sceneries were as beautiful as could be expected ; the dresses sparkling. Upon the whole, this new piece is an agreeable one, and is likely to be long a favourite. THE HACKNEY CARRIAGE ACT.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the Hackney Carriage Act to come into operation, the various stands for the temporary loca tion of cabs presented an appearance different to what they have exhibited for many months past. There were several new vehicles turned out, and there was nowhere to be seen those crazy and almost broken down cabs, which were dangerous under the old regime for any one to enter. The effect of the new act will be to take off the road those speculators in cabs who were indifferent to the public convenience, and whose vehicles yesterday were nowhere to be seen. In the evening, omnibuses, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, had lamps in tt m aht e u i e c nn h ee approved dwatenthacet er enactment of by st b t a y wn the ecirpei. tpassengers. the that f the Policemenp i . them, v i w i i h i i o cw n h s e r ofe was stationed complied with. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1853, This bankrupt was described as of Knightsbridge, ironmonger. The accounts are in course of preparation by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, but the amount of debts and assets have not been ascertained. IN RE CROUCHER. This bankrupt had carried on business at Clapham as a boarding-house-keeper, and to-day was appointed for the certificate meeting. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt, and there was no opposition. His Honour on referring to the proceedings said that the bankrupt was not blameless in allowing one creditor to take all the property ; otherwise, he would have re ceived an immediate certificate, as it was, it must be suspended for six months, then to be of the second class. Protection was granted. SPORTING NOTES. ANTICIPATIONS ANENT AINTREE. Two movements of considerable importance have pro duced a perceptible effect on speculation ; one caused the rapid advance of Cariboo, the other the sudden retrogres sion of Goorkah. Neither was unexpected, although both were made with a determination and confidence which occasioned some little surprise. So eager was the desire displayed to " get on" Cariboo yesterday at the " Corner, ' that scarcely 3 to 1 was obtainable about him at the close of business. Goorkah was quite out of favour, and not until late in the afternoon, when 9 to 1 was booked to small sums, was any attempt made to arrest his downward tendency, Montague was advanced to 10 to 1, to the prejudice of his stable companion, Water fall, against whom " any odds went a begging." In discussing the Cup chances on Saturday, I pre pared my readers for these changes in the betting. I then selected Cariboo (the best of Isaac Day's) and Goorkah against the field. Cariboo was then quoted at 10 to 1, and Montague was just rising into favour. I expressed, too, an unfavourable opinion of Goorkah, but in consideration of the " money interest," I was induced to include him in the " dangerous division." Now, how ever, I entertain very slender expectations of his success, and taking Harbinger in his place, my final decision will be, CARIBOO, MONTAGUE, and HARBINGER. Should an "outsider" be destined to achieve success, that outsider will, perhaps, be either PELION or MISSIVE. The minor events remaining for consideration require only brief discussion. In the absence of Hobbyhorse, Doublethong will carry off the Foal Stakes ; the Pro duce Sweepstakes I assign to the Reel colt. Longbow, Evadne, an Faux-pas are likely to be the foremost competitors for the Derby Handicap. For this event, however, The Deformed is much fancied by his owner, who, yesterday, backed him at Tattersall's for 2001. At present, I shall not touch upon Friday's races. Much excitement prevails at the various betting-offices this morning, in consequence of the Attorney-General having obtained leave to bring in his " Bill for the Sup pression of Betting-houses." The motion has already materially checked business. July 12. A FRESH MAN. TATTERS ALL'S. —MONDAY. The sale of a portion of General Anson's blood stock induced many provincial turfites to visit "The Corner" to-day, but although several of them now and then turned into the betting-room to ascertain the progress of busi ness there, very little activity was imparted to specula tion ; in fact, during the early part of the afternoon scarcely a bet was laid. LIVERPOOL CUP. At the commencement Cariboo was the only horse in demand—at 4t01,7 to 2, and 3to 1 numerous invest ments were made ; sto 2, finally, the highest offer. To wards the close, doubts of Montague's being allowed to start, in consequence of his nominator being in default for bets, appeared to give way to favourable impressions from the expressed opinions of persons of authority-8 to 1 was taken to upwards of 4001. His advancement caused Waterfall to sink to 30 to'l. Goorkah at one time receded to 10 to 1, but one or two late-comers brought him back to Bto 1. Owing to some ill-omened reports, Daniel O'Rourke was quite friendless. DERBY HANDICAP. 5 to 1 was taken to 2001. about The Deformed, and 5 to 1 betted against Longbow's winning this and the Licensed Victuallers' Handicap. GOOD WOOD STAKES.

Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Groom, aged 53, under the following melan choly circumstances :—lt appears, from what has trans pired, that the unfortunate woman was married, and resided in Marlborough-road, Chelsea, and has been in a very desponding state of mind for some length of time, but it was not considered necessary to place any watch on her movements. One of the inmates, hearing a noise in the room, knocked at the door and found her labour ing under the effects of a large quantity of oxalic acid, and a severe gash in her throat. She was immediately conveyed to Wellington ward, St. George's Hospital, when Mr. Henry Potter, the physician of the hospital, assisted by the medical staff, rendered every aid that medical skill could suggest, when the ill-fated, woman sank gradually an d exp i red in the above-named institu tion. No reaso n a t present can b e g i ven as to th e cause of her committing the rash act. The deceased was much espected in the neighbourhood. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS FRAN CE. The Minister of Marine visited the different works and naval establishments of Brest on the 9th, and on Sunday, after these visits, he went to church to hear mass. The Moniteur states, that when the clergy _sang the "Domine salvum fac Imperatorem" all the congre gation joined in it. We have received accounts from Algiers to the sth. The Governor-General had arrived there on the Ist in the Titan steamer from Djidjelly. All the civil and mi litary authorities were in waiting at the Government House to receive him, and through the Prefect congra tulated him on the fresh conquests he had achieved in Kabylia. The Moniteur contains a degree authorising the con cession of the thermal establishment at Vichy to Messrs. Lebobe, Callon, and Co. for the term cf thirty years, stipulation being made for a certain number of gratui tous baths daily for the military, &c., and a maximum price for baths, &c., being fixed by the Minister of the Interior. An article in the Moniteur is devoted to a considera tion of the fortified cities in Germany, of the value of the majority of which, in a strategical point of view, but an indifferent opinion ii entertained by the writer. Of Vienna it is stated that experience has repeatedly shown its inability to resist an army, viz., in 1805, 1809, and 1848. Antwerp is included amongst the German for tresses, as it is stated it ought to be regarded as serving rather to the defence of Germany than of the country in which it is situated. M. Brault, Juge d'lnstruction, is following up the in vestigation relative to the plot of the Opera Comique, which it now appears was but a ramification of the one which was to have come off at the Hippodrome. It is ascertained that the chief conspirators, who are most of them strangers (Belgians or Germans), had made every preparation for an insurrection—had engaged surgeons and an ambulant hospital for the wounded. The moment they had dispatched the Emperor and all who were with him, groups who had been stationed in various spots contigu ous to and at a distance from the theatre, were on a given signal to have raised the cry of "Aux armed" to have thrown up barricades, and immediately to have put to death all the public functionaries they could lay hands on. The Red Republic was to have been proclaimed, and a reign of terror established. Such, at all events, is what is reported. The parties who were to proceed to the construction of barricades were to do so on a given signal, but it appears that they were not aware of the intended murder of the Emperor and his Court. I have not ascertained that the people of the faubourgs to any extent had any knowledge of, or connection with, the plot—but that the conspirators relied on chance, well aware how comparatively trifling spark is sufficient to light uy a conflagration. The Emperor and those that were with him were to have been murdered to the cry of " Viva l'Empdreur !" Every one remarked the unusual crowds that thronged the boulevard near the Opera Comique, and it did not escape notice that they did not disperse, as is generally the case, when the Emperor and Empress entered the theatre, but still remained outside. A good many waited also in the Place des Italiens, no doubt in expectation of the signal. On the whole it appears to have been the attempt of some most desperate men, who had made up their minds to risk their lives on the chance of destroying the Emperor and establishing a Red Republic. Although, since the improvement in the weather, the reports from the provinces respecting the harvest are more favourable, the Government has made extensive purchases of corn both in England and elsewhere. The Paris papers contain no additional news from the East. They continue to disbelieve the new attitude attri buted by the Pays and some other papers to Austria in that question. The Assembles Nationale notices a re cent dispatch published in London under the head of Constantinople, June 26, and expresses its conviction that the news that it gives is unfounded, and that the chance of maintaining peace, which would be very slight if that news were true , is becomi ng s t ronger rather than weaker. The Assembles Nationale says : " The telegraphic dispatch from Constantinople, pub lished in the London journals, and whi c h announces that the Russian fl ee t h a d quitted Sebastopol, bears the date of 26th June. It is consequently anterior by one day to the dispatch which we published on Friday, and which is dated the 27th. The dispatch of the 27th is quite pacific, whilst that of the 26th, on the contrary, announces that war is imminent. We dwell on these dates to show that no great importance ought to be at tached to private communications by the telegraph. We are of opinion that the situation has not changed, and that the diplomatic agents are endeavouring to find a middle term which can conciliate the interests and the amours-propres engaged in this matter. We do not believe that Russia, after the occupation of the provinces will want to make a new act of aggression against Tur key, and place the ambassadors of France and England under the necessity of causing the fleets to enter the Dardanelles. No incident could well arise at the pre sent moment, to be of any gravity, except a rising of even a partial character, of the Greek populations. It has been repeatedly said in these latter times that the Sultan could reckon on the devotedness and fidelity of his Christian subjects. We fear that great illusions have been indulged in on that point. We remember that in 1840 the French journals pretended that the Emir Bechir disposed completely of the Christian populations of the Libanus, and that these populations would make common cause with the soldiers of Ibrahim. It may be remembered, however, what took place. At the first appearance of the English fleet on the coasts of Syria the populations of the Libanus turned their arms against the Egyptian forces, and abandoned the Emir. It is to be feared that the same may be the case at present, and that the Greek populations, should the present state of things be prolonged, may rise in several provinces, and that in that way the Sultan's empire may all at once have to grapple with insurmountable diffi culties. We desire most ardently in consequence that the diplomatic agents may hasten to come to a close, and extricate us from this series of complications, which can only increase by being prolonged. The Eng lish Cabinet showed a praiseworthy moderation in ad .. journing the discusaionii in Parliament. The languagee of Lord Palmerston has been as conciliatory as it could be, and we trust it will produce a good effect at St. Petersburg. If, in spite of the calm, moderate, and conciliatory attitude of the Cabinets of Paris and Lon don, Russia should refuse all arrangement, s h e would assume, in destroyi ng th e p eace of the world, a respon sibility which we trust she will never incur." The Univers points out some errors in the French translations of the manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas. It says : "One would say that the translator wished to veil from the eyes of Europe the pretensions of Russia. The manifesto does not only say that the promise of the Sul tan was soon broken, but there is in the text the word trair torously' (vidolomno). The last phrase of the manifesto also weakens the idea ofthe Emperor. 'Full of h ope in God, ' says the Czar, we shall march to the defence of the ortho dox faith.' The translator has omitted the word vpered (forward). The Czar does not declare in a general man ner that he will continue to defend the orthodox church, he announces that he will not remain in Moldavia and in Wallachia, but that he will go further, and will pur sue his march into the States of the Grand Seigneur. This conclusion is in perfect harmony with the spirit which dictated the Imperial manifesto." Considerable firmness was evinced throughout yester day at the Bourse, and a slight advance in prices had even taken place in the Three per Cents. at the termina tion of business, the quotation for money showing an advance of 10c., and that for the end of the month of 15c. The following were the final quotations :—For cash—Teree per Cents., 77f. 10e. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. For the account—Three per Cents., 77f. 10c. ; Four-and•a-Half p er C ents., 102 f. Banktock, 2,665 f. In the Railway Share Market yesterday there was a considerable amount of business transacted, and in several instances at improved prices. Closing prices : —Northern, 857 f. 50c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,072 f. 25c. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 900 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 895 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,047 f. 50c.; Lyons to Mediterranean, 720f.50c. ; Western of France, 725 f. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A private telegraphic dispatch from Vienna announces that the Ambassadors of France, England, and Austria , at Constantinopl e , o n the news that the Russians had crossed the Pruth, requested an audience of the Sultan, and asked him not to demand that the British and French fleets should enter the Dardanelles.

The last political news was to the effect that Austria had offered her mediation between Turkey and Russia, and that the occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia by Russian troops was not to be considered a casus belli. The price of Turkish arms in the bazaar bad risen enor mously of late, in consequence of the demand which exists. It is pretty certain, too, that considerable sup plies of arms, ammunition, and salt had been sent secretly into Circassia and Daghestan. Accounts from St. Petersburgh of July 2 describe the present excited state of feeling prevalent there as gaining, in intensity in inverse ratio with the station of the indi vidual. The higher we mount in the social scale the clearer the atmosphere becomes • threatening clouds are indeed seen , b ut it is fel t that the storm will blow over.. Not that any one here for a moment entertains the slightest idea that the Emperor will give way iu any thing, but still the conviction holds its ground that means will be found to arrange the difficulty. Next Thursday, 7th inst., will be the Emperor's 57th birthday, as he was born on the 25th June, 1796 0. S. A committee, under the presidency of the Grand Duke Constantine, General Admiral, has just published the result of its labours since 1850 in the last numbers of the Invaliden. This work is entitled the New Naval .Regu. lations, and is an adaptation of thefol .mer regulations to present necessities. The Russian-Faltic fleet which consists of three squadrons, is at pres ent stationed, the White squadron in the Baltic, the rend near Cronstadt, and the blue in Cronstadt, where the war steamers also are. The Emperor has sent the Minisi;er of Finance to Moscow, on affairs connected with his; office, as also the two Privy Councillors, Besobrasow and Kaudalisow. The portion of the Petersburgh and Warsaw Railroad from here to the Imperial Palace of Gatzschina (49 werstes) is to be ready for traffic by October next, and its continuation to Diinaburg carried •on with vigour. A branch from thence to Riga has been undertaken by a private company in that port, under a guarantee of 4 per cent. from the Government. The Cologne Gazette contains the following from Berlin, dated the Bth :—" The accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the cholera was raging there more relentlessly than ever. It was generally thought that it tended southwards, and if so, fears were entertained that it might commit ravages amongst the troops." Another letter from Berlin, of the same date, in the Frankfurter Journal, says :—"Yesterday there was a grand dinner at the palace of Sans-Souci, on the occasion of the anni versary of the birthday of the Emperor Nicholas. The King wore the Russian uniform, and all the diplomatists and generals invited were decorated with their• Russian orders." A letter from Warsaw, in the Ilamburgh, News, states that since the Hungarian war there had not been such vast military preparations as have been going on during the last winter and spring. The army has been placed on the completest war footing, the reserve and rear are organised. Military colonies have been established at Nowgorod and in the South ; magazines have been or ganised, and large numbers of horses for the artillery and train have been recently bought. The army faces the Danube. Prince Gortschakoff, it is said, has the command under the supreme direction of the Grand Duke Constantine. Prince Paskiewitch is to stay at Warsaw, where a camp of 70,000 men is concentrated. The Russian officers frequently return to Czenstochau, to adore the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary of that place, and to implore a happy return from the war. The army of the South is 150,000 men strong. The Oest. Correspondenz contains an article on the Oriental question, so perfectly diplomatic, that, although half a column long, it manages to tell us little or nothing. It is impossible to say positively how the matter will end, as so much must depend on unforeseen events, but it is the object of the diplomatic world to find some means of effecting a satisfactory compromise. Russia and England are acquitted of indulging in any wish to go to war, "and the conduct of the latter will probably have great influence on the French Cabinet. It is to be hoped that the Porte will not push a ' not blame able' sensitiveness on the subject of its independence and sovereign dignity too far." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 6th do not contain a line of news of any kind. A Madrid letter of the same date 'states that the Royal Council has come to a decision on the railroad question, but it had not transpired. The Three per Cents. were done at 42. GERMANY. WEIMAR, JULY B.—The Grand Duke of Weimar died this morning. THE BRAZILS. - . (BY ELECTRIC] TELEGRAPII.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The clipper ship Emperor, Capt. Bruce, arrived here yesterday. She has brought accounts from Bahia to the 28th May. The yellow fever was very prevalent at Bahia when the Emperor sailed,, and had proved fatal among the shipping. Freights to the channel for orders, 28s. 6d. to 30s. per ton. Exchange on London, 281. The barques Royalist and Ranger had sailed for the channel. The Enchanter, from Australia, for London, had put into Bahia f or water, and sailed again on the 26th of May. The British brig Francesca, of London, from St. Vin cent, for Australia, foundered at sea on the Bth of May, in lat. 4 N., long. 18 W. Crew saved by the Swedish brig Irene, bound to California, which put into Bahia on the 25th of May. The Emperor left the following vessels loading for the Channel :—The Runo, Annie, Diana, Eliza Robson, Matanzas, and Charles, the latter in want of a captain and part of a crew. THE CAMP AT CROBHAM COMMON. • Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the other Royal children now staying at Windsor Castle paid a visit to the camp yesterday, arriving about 1 o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses came through Colonel Challoner's grounds and passed across the com mon to the Magnet-hill, where they were received by Major Colborne, aide-de-camp to Lord Seaton, by whom they were conducted through the Queen's Pavillion, and afterwards accompanied the Royal carriage along the lines of the encampment, close to the tents, at a walk ing pace. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards went to Higham, Lord Seaton's quarters, and thence, at 3 o'clock, returned to Windsor Castle. The operations of the troops yesterday were confined to Virginia Water, where the pontoon bridge was again thrown over the lake for the passage of such of the regi ments as b d a not an o pportunity of cr oss i ng i t on T uesday l as t, After an early parade the several regiments men tioned in the division orders —viz. the Ist Life Guards, the 17th Lancers, the 13th Light Dragoons, the 38th Foot, the 93d Highlanders, and the Royal Artillery, marched from the camp, under the command of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, direct for Vir ginia Water. The foot regiments crossed Catlin's-valley and marched through Colonel Challoner's grounds, the cavalry and artill ery pass i ng d own the Staines-road, and by that route arriving at the Wheatsheaf entrance of the Royal property. The only object of the troops going to Virginia Water yesterday being to practise them in the mode of crossing a pontoon-brid ge , no am munition was served o u t an d no fighting took place. The foot regiments crossed the bridge first—especial care being taken by the officers to prevent the men " keeping step." After the bridge had been well covered with heather the passage of the artillery and cavalry was commenced. With the artillery some diffi culty occurred, owing to the restiveness of the horses attached to some of the guns. One animal in its struggles actually fell into the water, after knocking over several of the sappers and miners by whom the bridge was lined. But for the admirable manage ment of the artillery drivers there can be doubt many more serious accidents would have occurred. The cavalry crossed the bridge without accident, and all the troops having gained the park side of the water assembled on the upper ground—the same position occu pied on Tuesday last—where they went through several manoeuvres greatly to the satisfaction of their illustrious commander. The cavalry returned to the camp by Blacknest-bridge, arriving at their quarters about five o'clock. The 38th and 93d Regiments returned in the direction of the pontoon bridge, which, on their arrival at the bank of the lake, they found had been broken up into " rafts." Upon these rafts the whole of the two regiments were transported across in little more than a quarter of an hour. Half a company went on each raft, and without the occurrence of the slightest accident. These regiments returned to the camp about half-past five o'clock. A portion of the pontoon operations were witnessed by the Princes and Princesses of th e R oyal family on ther A i r w ep a o y rt to of t a he f c a a ta n i p a . ceident to a p r i va t e i n the 17th Lancers yesterday prevailed as we were leaving the field, but could not be traced to any reliable authority. A general court- mart i al was held yesterday in the mess-tent of the 93d Highlanders. Lieutenant-Colonel D. A. Cameron, of the 42d Regiment, acted as president. The members of the court consisted of two field officers and one captain from the cavalry brigade and each bri gde of infantry. M a j or N orcott was the deputy judge advocate. Colonel Bentinck is going on very favourably. He still remains at Higham. No immediate danger is now apprehended from the accident. To-day will be the last opportunity the public will have of seeing the troops at present encamped under arms. A grand movement is to take place within the lines of the encampment. Fifteen rounds of blank am munition were served out to each man last evening. Major -General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge will be general of the day. There will be no evolutions on Wednesday, as on that day the troops in camp will commence to move. Thurs day it is anticipated will be a grand day, far surpassing the first day on which the troops assembled. At least 18,000 men will be w ithi n a mile of head quarters OD this day. The first movement of troops commences to-day. The detachment of Grenadier Guards stationed at head quarters will march to Windsor at 1 o'clock, on being► relieved by a detachment of similar strength from the Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards in camp. To-mor row the artillery will march out of their quarters en route to Chatham and Woolwich. There is no intention of deposing Lord Seaton from the command be so worthily fills in favour of Sir Charles Napier nor any other officer. The brigadier generals will also retain their commands over the new troops to be encamped. BRITANNIA THEATRE, HOXTON. — Messrs. G. Bennett and T. C.
