Under any circum stances, a most desirable 1....f0rm has been adven- tured upon—nothing remaining to us, henceforth, in the matte; but to watch over the process of its development. Never, perhaps, was there a more glaring in stance of the abdication of its legitimate func tions by a legislative body than that exhibited by the House of Lords in reference to the Go vernment of India Bill. A more favourable opportunity could scarcely have been afforded to its members of displaying that wise prudence, that judicious caution, for which credit has been boldly claimed by its friends and admirers. It was said that the hereditary branch of the Legis lature constituted the conservative element in the British Constitution that its chief duty consisted in a careful supervision of all mea sures submitted to the consideration of Parliament, so as to prevent the passing of any crude or ill digested proposition ; and that in the efficient and faithful discharge of that important trust it had ever manifested an indefatigable vigilance to de tect and expose the latent evils concealed in bills hastily or recklessly brought forward ; and a bold and manly determination to prevent the danger ous consequences that might follow their adoption and sanction by the Imperial Parliament. Some credence was given to these statements, and men were contented to submit to considerable delay and inconvenience, on many occasi ons , i n conside ration of the additional security afforded by the interposition of such a body in very important cases.

A new doctrine has, however, recently been promulgated. In place of enforcing adequate at tention to every subject, before extensive alter ations were effected—in place of insuring the pos session of the requisite information that would authorise deliberate legislation—it is deemed suffi cient for the Upper House to repudiate responsi bility—" to wash its hands" out of a measure for which its sanction was demanded, and to permit the consequences to rest on the shoulders either of her MAJESTY'S Government, or of the co-ordi nate branch of the Legislature. It was an insult —a gross and unwarrantable insult to the dignity and independence of the Peerage, to introduce such a measure as the Government of India Bill into their house on the sth of August, it was unquestionably deeply humiliating to their order, showing that the Joint-Stock Administration regarded them as mere registrars of their own decrees if accepted by the Commons. It was a practical reiteration by the Coalition Cabinet of the contemptuous in terrogatory " What is the use of a House of Lords ?" But, unfortunately, by their conduct they have proved that the Ministerial estimate of their position was well founded. They have swallowed their leek with exemplary patience— have afforded the strongest encouragement to the repetition of similar insults on future occasions, and have returned the most conclusive answer to the interrogatory above referred to. In place of rejecting the bill with just indignation, or at least limiting its duration so as to secure future discus sion, they have contented themselves withabstaining from pronouncing any opinion, " making no obser vation either of praise or blame," and " washing their hands out of the business." It may be that sympathy was excited on behalf of a body so analogous to their own in many re spects, a body calculated to operate only as a clog to action, powerless for good, and capable only of retarding and procrastinating proceedings. It may be that the Tory predilections of the large majo rity of the Directors found favour in the sight of Yesterday the House of Commons hailed with their Lordships, or possibly there might have been cheers the appearance of the Consolidated Fund a desire to afford the Coalitionists. an ample supply Bill—it being an indication of the rapidly ap- of rope, in order that the ordinary result indicated preaching termination of the present Session of by the proverb might follow.

But in " the General Court of Proprietors," we are told that that " there is no distinction as to citizenship"— that the Englishman, the Frenchman, the Ger man, THE RUSSIAN, the inhabitants of any nation, are eligible as members. " There is no difference as to religion." The Christian, the Jew, the Turk, the Pagan, the professor of every or no creed, are equally admissible. " There is no im pediment as to sex." A woman as well as a man is entitled to the free exercise of her opinion in this assembly, and this is what we are now perpetuating after having disfranchised old Sarum ! Perpetuating it merely because " not one-fifth of their Lordships could or would attend" at this season ! We shall not pause . to inquire as to what might have been the results if the Emperor NICHOLAS, little more than five years ago, when investing 4,600,0001. of his spare gold in English Securi ties, had selected East India Stock and placed it in the names of Russian, or Philo-Russian hold ers of 1,000/. Stock each. The constituency might have been swamped, and an absolute ma jority of proprietors devoted to the interests of the AUTOCRAT obtained ; and, as a natural conse quence, the patronage of India and the nomina tion of officers in the Anglo-Indian army trans ferred to St. Petersburgh. These would be some of the most striking consequences of such a course. Are they rendered impossible by the new and improved measure ? Certainly not. Incalculable evils may follow the perversity of Sir CHARLES WOOD - the subservience of the House of Commons— the apathy of the Lords. Time is required to mature a suitable measure for the future government of that mighty empire—a measure calculated to promote the pr9sperity and happiness of its unnumbered myriads, to render them faithful and contented subjects, and to insure their devoted and willing obedience. But the fitting time is suffered to slip away, the golden opportunity is disregarded, the leading members of the Opposition refrain from making " any observation, either of praise or blame," "repudiating responsibility," and " washing their hands out of the measure." And why ? Because in August "not one-fifth of their Lordships could or would attend," even " on the most important question that could be brought under their notice." Once more, then, with shame, regret, and deep humiliation, we reiterate the demand, " WHAT IS THE USE OF A HOUSE OF LORDS ?" NAVAL REVIEW. PROGRAMME OF THE PROCEEDINGS. We are indebted to the Secretary of the Ad miralty for the following official programme of the proceedings at the Naval Review at Spithead to morrow : Her Majesty will leave Osborne on Thursday, the 11th, at 10 o'clock, and proceed in the Royal yacht to Spithead, where she will arrive at a quarter before 11 o'clock, and be received with a Royal salute from the whole fleet. Her Majesty will then proceed on board H.M.S. the Duke of Wellington, on board of which ship the Board of Admiralty will have previously embarked. After inspecting the ship her Majesty will return to the Royal yacht, and the fleet will then be directed by signal to weigh and proceed out to the Nab in two columns. Having there altered course, so as to obtain an offing clear of the shoals, the fleet will form the line abreast, afterwards the line of battle. On seeing a squadron of three ships of the line and three steamers coming down to reconnoitre, they will then open fire, and the whole fleet will com mence a general engagement, followed by a general chase of the retreating ships of the line and steamers. The fleet will then be directed by signal to form the line of battle, with their heads to the north-east, and afterwards to bear up and pass the Royal yacht ; then to form two columns, and proceed to Spithead. PROGRAMME OF INSPECTION OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS. The whole of the steam-ships to be unmoored and hove short by eight a.m. of the morning of the 11th inst., and steam up by half-past eight o'clock. On the Royal yacht approaching the fleet, a royal salute will be fired. As soon as her Majesty has signified her inten tions, the signal will be made for the steam fleet to weigh, and to form the order of sailing in two columns, according to the following order : STARBOARD, OR WEATHER DIVISION. Agamemnon 2 cbls. apart. Duke of Wellington Hogue Blenheim Ajax Edinburgh Barraeouta,' , Arrogant a Imperieuse Tribune y Ainphion, reptng. s. repeating ship. Desperate Highflyer Sidon v Terrible Encounter Odin Vesuvius - -1 ;; Leopard The leading ships will go easy ahead, to allow the other ships to take their stations. As soon as that is done, at the distance of one cable's length, the columns will steam out to the Nab, the leading ships preserving their line abreast. After passing the Nab, the columns will steer a compass course, and as soon as there is sufficient space, the signal 919 will be made, to form the line abreast. When in line abreast, the signal shall be made to alter course together. At this time a squadron of strange vessels will be seen in a S.W. direction opening fire upon the line. The ships having been previously ordered by signal to beat to quarters, will, when so ordered, commence firing upon the supposed enemy. When firing ceases, the signal will be made for the fleet PORT, OR LEE DIVISION, to chase. The leading ships of the column will now close at one cable's distance. After the chase has continued for a certain time, the recal will be made, and the signal will be hoisted to form line of battle, with their heads to the northward and eastward. When this signal is made, the Duke of Wel lington will lead instead of being in the centre, and the other ships of the starboard division will take their relative places astern of her as before. When the signal, to wear in succession, is made, the flag will bear up and pass to leeward of the Royal yacht, each ship following her next ahead, at the appointed distance, and will probably come round with the head towards the Nab Light. The ships will then be ordered to form two columns, and to proceed to Spithead, or execute such manoeuvres as may be ordered, the leading ships being two cables apart. Should signal No. 931—" the port column to be come the starboard column"—be made, then the port column will keep steerage way only, until the leading ship can pass close astern of the rear of the starboard division, when they will put on all steam to gain their stations, the starboard column check ing speed until they have done so. It is to be clearly understood that no evolution is to be commenced until the flag-ship shall haul down the signal for it. The dinner signal will probably be made on run ning to the Nab Light. THE PRINCESS OF RUSSIA.—Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess of Wurtemburg and suite will leave the Nine Elms station of the South-Western Railway, t at 81 a.m., to-morrow, by special train for Portsmouth, witness the naval review at Spithead. It is expected that the Princess will be accompanied by some members of the Royal Family.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 Ame rican and 700 Surat were taken for export. The market was well supplied, and closed firmly with out alteration in prices. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 50 Pernam and Maranham at 84d., 3JO Egyptian at Gid. to 10d., and 1,500 Surat at 3/d. to 4id. per lb. Railway shares were quiet at steady prices. There are no later Australian arrivals. The last accounts from Buenos Ayres state that the time allowed for vessels to load in the port of Buenos Ayres had been extended to 10 days. Letters of June, lid the United States, mention that " Buenos Ayres was still besieged, and guerilla con tests were of daily occurrence, in which many were wounded and killed, particularly among the outsiders. " The National Congress at Santa Fe had adopted a constitution for the confederated provinces, in most re spects like that of the United States. It had been accepted by Urquiza, but it was not probable that the authorities of Buenos Ayres would accept it while Ur quiza, with his army and fleet, surrounded the city. "The time allowed vessels in the port of Buenos Ayres to load had been extended twelve days. " There were in port ship Gondola and barque Thorn dike, for New York ; and barque Roman, brig Cron stadt, and schooner H. A. Barling, at Monte Video. " All articles from the United States were in brisk demand. Flour had advanced to $lO to $12.50. Hides were eagerly purchased at advanced prices. Wool was coming in and was purchased, for English account, at high prices. Lumber scarce and in demand." There was no change in the rate at which bills were taken here generally yesterday afternoon upon the Continental cities. Paris, 90 days, was quoted 25 171 to 221 ; Amsterdam, 11 18 to 184 ; Ham burgh, 13 6 4o 7 ; Frankfort, 1191 to # ; and Trieste, 10 58 to 11. The following is a new rule adopted by the com mittee of the Stock Exchange : "In the event of any question arising from the ven dor having a larger coupon than the amount of stock conveyed, or only one coupon, representing stock con veyed by two or mare transfers, the coupon may be deposited with the Railway Secretary of the Stock Ex change, who shall forward it to the office of the com pany, and certify to that effect on the transfer, which shall then be a valid delivery. N.B.—Forms of instruc tions for the application of coupons deposited under the above rule, may ae filled up at the railway department."

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was sea sonably good, and in excellent condition. For all kinds the demand was in a very inactive state, at Monday's de cline in prices. The transactions for forward delivery were trifling. From abroad upwards of 13,000 quarters of wheat have come fresh to hand. So little business was doing in that article that the quotations were almost nominal. Floating cargoes were in request, at full prices. Barley. the show of which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. In the value of malt no change took place. There was a moderate inquiry for oats, at the late decline. Beans, peas, and flour ruled dull ; in prices, however, very little change took place. ARRIVALS THIS WERE. Barley. I Malt. 319° _ 13,360 1,850 1 Wheat. 2,230 Oats. Flour. 950 English ..

HORRORS OP SLAVEHUNTING.—We learn from persons who received their information from citizens of New Pe tersburg, situated in Hihborough County, that on Friday and Saturday last a party of men, three of whom were Kentuckians from Mason and Fleming Counties, and two Ohioans, passed through that village in pursuit of three slaves, the property of one of the party, named Pierce, and another owner. It seems they had information which led them to believe that the slaves were on the route through New Petersburg to Greenfield, but they had not yet ci ossed Rattlesnake Creek, which runs about a mile east of Petersburg. From Petersburg there are two roads leading to Greenfield, one of which crosses the creek over a bridge, and the other by a ford about half a mile further up. Three of the pur suing party stationed themselves at the bridge, and two at the ford, and waited the coming of the slaves. The party at the bridge had not waited long, when the slaves, two men and a woman, made their appearance, escorted by a white man and boy, as guides. As soon as they were fairly within the bridge, which is a covered one, the Ken tuckians sprang upon them and a desperate fight ensued. The negroes, it is said, were armed with guns, pistols, and knives, and defended themselves bravely. The particulars of the affray, however, are not yet definitely known, but the result was that one of the negroes was captured, after being severely wounded, and the other two, with their white companions, made good their es cape. Pierce, the owner, it is said, of the captured negro, was severely hurt, having been nearly choked in the struggle to secure him. The desperate nature of the affray may be judged from the fact that the broken breeches of a gun and pistol were fornd on the spot, and the ground was covered with blood. As soon as it was over the Kentuckians lost no time in leaving for home, taking their captive with theta. —New York Tribune. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. HORSFALL presented a petition from a meeting of members of Chambers of Commerce held in Liverpool, praying fur the establishment of tribunals of commerce. - kr.COBBETT presented several petitions from the manufacturing districts and one from the bleachers of Scotland in favour of the ten hours bill. Lord DALKEITH presented a petition from Edin burgh against the annuity tax. Mr. LUCAS presented several petitions from places in Ireland agai ns t th e I nspec ti on o f Nunneries Bill. Mr. A. PELLATT presented petitions from Bilston and Bolton in favour of the Rights of Labour and the Peoples Charter. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. Mr. EVELYN . gave notice that next session he should move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Public Health Act. LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. Mr. WARNER wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether it is the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to bring in a bill early next session to amend the present law of partnership, with a view to facilitate the formation of companies or partnerships with limited liability, without the necessity of a charter or act of incorporation ; and if this is not their intention then to inquire whether the Government intend to lay down any or what principle for their future guidance in giving or refusing charters with limited liability. Mr. CARDWELL explained that the law as it now stands, which enabled the Crown to grant charters of limited liability to companies of a certain descrip tion, such as banking and steam ship concerns. A commission was now investigating the subject, and the Lord Chancellor was in hopes of being able to obtain the report of that commission in sufficient time to admit of his preparing a bill in time for next session. In the meanwhile the Board of Trade would observe the same caution that they had hitherto done in granting charters ; but no one would more rejoice at an amendment of the existing law than the Board over which he had the honour to preside. THE CAPE. Mr. F. PEEL, in reply to a question from Captain Dunne, stated that, upon the recommendation' of Gene ral Cathcart, the late Government had under their con sideration the advisability of establishing a corps of Swiss Guards, to defend the Orange River territory against the Kafirs, but, from the want of funds, such a proceeding was never adopted. With regard to the evacuation of the Orange River territory, the Government could not undertake to say what would be done until they had re ceived the report of Sir George Clerk on the subject. Mr. ADDERL EY gave notice, that early next ses sion he would move the appointment of a committee, to inquire into the legality of abandoning the territory.

CUSTOMS BILL. Mr. WILSON, in moving the third reading of this bill, took the opportunity of thanking and compliment ing the customs' authorities for the valuable assistance they had rendered him in preparing this bill, which might be said to be the result of 30 years' labour. It consolidated the whole of the customs' law, which it simplified and explained, and he had no doubt that it would be received as a great boon by the commercial world. Mr. HAMILTON added his meed of praise to the The bill was then read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS ACTS CONSOLIDATION BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill, M. SPOONER proposed a clause, providing that no prosecution for penalties under the bill should be taken without the consent of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the clause, and ultimately the house divided, when there appeared— For the clause 6O • Against it 6 Majority —s4 The clause was accordingly ordered to be added to the bill. The bill was then read a third time and passed. BETTING HOUSES BILL. This bill was read a third time. On the question that the bill do pass, Mr. PELLAT moved, in section 4, line 39, after the word "contingency," to insert, "every person who shall by any bill, placard, or writing, or by advertisement in any newspaper, offer to give information as to the result of any race, fight, or game, thereafter to be run, and determined, and any editor or pro prietor of any newspaper, inserting or knowingly suffering to be inserted therein, any such ad vertisement as aforesaid, shall upon summary conviction thereof before two Justices of the Peace, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding ten pounds, or at the discretion of such justices, or in default of payment of such fine, be imprisoned in the common jail or house of correction, with or without ,hard labour, for any period not exceed ing one calendar month. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was no ob jection to the clause. Mr. BOUVERIE said that part of the clause which related to advertisements was quite novel, and he could not agree to it. After some discussion, Lord PALMERSTON said, upon the whole, he would suggest the clause should be withdrawn. Mr. A. PELLATT said, as the sense of the house was against him, he would not press the clause. It was accordingly withdrawn. The bill was then passed. EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL.

Agreed to. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. On the motion that the Lords' amendments to this bill be agreed to, Mr. FREWEN moved that the house do disagree to that amendment which struck out the Dog -cart Prohibi tion Clause. Mr. MACKINNON supported the motion. Sir J. V. SHELLEY caused some amusement in the house by reading a circular which Mr. Frewen had issued requesting members to come down prepared to support his motion at a time when the Government should be off their guard. Lord PALMERSTON showed that there was no ne cessity for such a circular, as he was prepared to sup port the motion. The motion was then agreed to, and a committee appointed to confer with the Lords on the subject. SITTINGS OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON gave notice that on Friday the house would meet at the usual hour, four o'clock. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed at half-past two. ROCHDALE, August 8. —We have had rather more in quiry for pieces to-day, and a better attendance of buy ers, but not any change in prices. In wool there is no change worth notice ; the manufacturers show no dis position to buy but for immediate use. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS FRANCE. The Constitutionnel has another article on the last news fi on St. Petersburgh. It is from the pen of M. Granier de Cassagnac, who, as our readers know, has been rather warlike in the view that he has taken of the Eastern question. He now eulo gises the pacific solution that has been announced, but in doing so falls into no inconsistency. If, he says, he had considered war probable, it was be cause there were only words in favour of a pacific result, and all the acts breathed intentions of war. " But," he continues, " thanks to God, who touches the hearts of princes, and kindles when he pleases the flame of justice in their minds, na tions will no longer be compelled to suspend their labours, and to,spend their blood and treasure to pre 'rent a great act of violence, and secure the triumph of honour and equity." There are, we believe, few well-minded persons who will not join with M. Grapier de Cassagnac in expressing satisfaction at the new phasis of the Eastern question. There will, of course, until all the facts connected with the negotiations shall be known, be some exclama tions about the purchase of peace by humiliations, but it is reasonable to infer that two great Govern ments like those of England and France would not, in their desire for peace, propose conditions whi c h could be dishonourable to the nations that they re present. They may have carried conciliation to the extreme point, but when we consider how many interests would have been compromised by a war, how much the progress of civilisation could have been cholked, and what blood and treasure must have been expended in battles for the triumph of right, excess of conciliation is entitled rather to eulogy than reproach. M. Granier de Cassagnac claims for the Emperor of the French the chief merit of the result which is said to have been ob tained. Perhaps it would have been in better taste to have divided the merit more equally between the French and. English Governments, but still it is impossible to deny that, without the most sin cere devotedness to the cause of peace on the part of the Emperor of the French, it might have been impossible to prevent war. The Emperor has received a letter from the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, announcing the mar riage of the Princess Amelia Maria Da Gloria Augusta of Saxe Weimar to Prince William Frederic Henry of the Netherlands. M. Jose Rimon Pacheco on Mond a y h a d a pr i va t e audience of the Emperor, to deliver his letters of credence as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Mexico. On Monday evening the Emperor and Empress were present at the representation of the Consulat et l'Empire at the Cirque. Their Majesties on entering their box were received with the loudest acclamations. Their Majesties left at half-past eleven for St. Cloud. Marshal de Castellane has arrived in Paris. Re will return to Lyons after the reception of the Marshals of France by the Emperor on the occa sion of his fete. General Randon, Governor-General of Algeria, who has obtained leave of absence, has just arrived in Paris. Prince Jerome Bonaparte quitted his country house at Villegenis on Sunday, to return to the Chateau de Meudon, which he occupies as his summer residence. fie was accompanied by Gene ral Ricard, his first Aide-de-camp, Major Larmi nant, his Aide-de-camp on service, and Baron de Plancey, his first Equerry. The result of the wheat harvest is now generally known, and the returns from the districts which supply Paris are more favourable than was expected. In the neighbourhood of Montereau the wheat in the valleys was alone laid by the heavy rains, which may amount to 1-20th of the entire crop. The produce is satisfactory both as to quantity and quality in the entire district from Montereau to Nemours, traversing Villemer, Dormelles, and Toury-Ferrottes. In the Beauce, the best wheat country in France, the heavy rains have caused great injury, and the produce is estimated at one third less than that of a good ordinary year. On the other hand, the barley and oats in those dis tricts are unusually rich, and the produce is far beyond that of a fair average crop. The deposits received in the Paris Savings Banks on Sunday and Monday last amount to 674,585 f. ; the deposits withdrawn to 346,456 f. The great rise that took place in Rentes on Mon day has been well sustained to-day, with a firm market at the close of business. The Three per Cents. for cash have advanced 5c., and for the ac count 35c. ; Four and a Half per Cents, for cash remain unchanged, but are steady ; and for the account they have gained 30c. Bank Stock has improved 15f. The closing prices are :—For Cash —Three per Cents., 79f. 75c. • Four and a Half per Cents., 104 f. 40c. F or ate account—Three per Cents., 80f. 10c. ; Four and a Half per Cents., 104 f. 40c. ; Bank Stock, 2,835 f. The market for Railway Shares has also been of a favourable character, most lines having risen in value, with a general firmness, although Paris and Strasbourg have given way lf. ; and Paris and Lyons, 2f. Northerns are as quoted on Monday, but Paris and Orleans have advanced 7f., and Western of France 7f. The following are the closing quotations :—Northerns, 884 f. 50c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,219 f. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 956 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 945 f. 75c. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,107 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 780 f. ; Wes tern of France, 767 f. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. A Cabinet courier arrived in Paris yesterday morning from St. Petersburgh with dispatches from M. de Kisseleff. These dispatches, which are of the 3d, are said to confirm the telegraphic message published in the Moniteu r with reference to the Emperor of Russia's acceptance of the Vienna note. His assent was given on the 2d. Letters from Vienna, of the sth, announce that Count Buol had a long interview with the Turkish Ambassador in that capital. They add that al though the note of the four Powers was not yet known at Constantinople, it was thought, from the tone of the last communications from the Porte, and also from the spirit of moderation which ani mated the Turkish Government, that the note would be accepted by the Divan. The propositions adopted at Vienna by the re presentatives of the great Powers were sent to Constantinople, through an Austrian colonel, and accompanied by an autograph letter to the Sultan. At the same time M. de Bruck was instructed to endeavour to secure the ratification of the Porte. The Silesian Gazette speaks of the Emperor of Russia projecting a plebisate in Moldavia and Wallachia, to determine whether the population wishes to be Russian or Turkish. It is confirmed that the Russians were received in Moldavia with resignation, and in Wallachia with reluctance. The Presse of Vienna, of the 6th, says :—" The French and English Consuls demanded from the two Hospodars an explanation as to their refusal to pay the tribute to the Ottoman Porte. The two hospodars confined themselves to replying that they had not sent the tribute to the Sultan as the finan cial resources of the countries were exhausted by being compelled to supply the Russian troops with provisions and stores. They added that if this state of things continued long the inhabitants of the Principalities would find it impossible to con tinue to pay their taxes." Besides the third division of the Russian fleet in the Baltic, the second division at K rasna i agor k a has also been recalled. The first division, which had not left port, has ceased all armaments. Letters from Tabriz state that Mr. Thompson, Charge d'Affaires of the British Government, has obtained a signal victory over the Russian diplo matist. Prince Dolgoroucki, the Russian Minis ter, was on the point of quitting the Court of Persia. We learn, by way of Trebizonde, that the war still continues in Circassia. The Circassians have attacked the fortress of Toprakiate, and carried the place, in spite of the determined resistance of the garrison. Owing to this defeat Prince Men schikoff has proclaimed a state of blockade on the coasts of Circassia, from Anapa to Sankorum Kale. Letters from Constantinople, dated July 28, state, that after the project of the note was sent to London, one more Grand Council was assembled of all the Ministers and ex-Ministers, in order to give the Grand Vizier an opportunity of declaring what had been done, and that nothing more could be under taken or decided on before an answer was received from Russia. This state of things continues, and diplomatic negotiations appear to be for the present in abeyance ; meantime the Porte has issued another protest against the appropriation by the Russians of the tribute of Moldavia and Wallachia. This document is extremely short, is addressed to the Four Powers, and expresses the surprise and regret of the Porte in seeing another violation of her rights on the part of Russia, and appeals to the sense of right and justice of those Powers that alid soldiers have arrived signed Several ra t hlestreaty of a ds 0 1 f 8 i 4 n l v , of late in Constantinople, and there are likely to be more since the sickly season of the Danube is setting in. During the months of August and September the valley of the Danube exhales the most pestilential malaria, which gives rise to per nicious fevers, siinilar to those from which the troops suffered in Walcheren. • ITALY. By a decree of the King of Sardinia of the sth, Chevalier Boncompagni, Minister of Grace and Justice, is provisi ona lly e ntrusted with the dep art meut of the Interior during the absence of 0 00 San Martino, for the recovery of his health.
