" Altogether, considering the powerful delineations of character and the admirably grouped and splendidly dramatic scenes with which it abounds, and its high artistic finish, the romance of " Elec tra," more than worthy of the author of " Rockingham, will take a distinguished plate among the nove:s of the season."—John Bull. " A tale of unusual interest. The author of " Rocklin ham" has developed his powers more fully in " Electra" than in any former effort of his genius. The volumes are embellished with illustrations by Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, in a sketchy and artistic manlier, that add considerably to the elucidation of the story."—Messenger . Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Conan, 13, G - eat Marlborough-street. Spohr's Tessonda, one of the announcements made by Mr. Gye in his opening programme, was produced on Saturday night. It would, we believe, have been brought out during the recent visit of the illustrious composer to this country, but there were difficulties in the way that prevented the consummation of this in tention, and it has been unfortunately deferred until the season is fairly on the wane, and many of our most refined and judicious amateurs—to whom a hearing of this most charming of works would have been an inex pressible treat—absent from the metropolis. This is much to be regretted, for the production of the Jessonda is a worthy act on the part of the manager, and entitles him to the gratitude of all who can appreciate the higher developments of music and derive delight from its truest sources. Her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, again visited the camp at Chobham, on Saturday. It may have been imagined by many persons, after seven weeks' almost uninterrupted display of military manoeuvres by the best troops of the British army within a couple of hours' run of the metropolis, that the public taste for viewing operations of this character would have somewhat palled. Nothing of the kind. A visit to the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, on Sa turday morning, would have effectually dissipated this supposition. Without any official announcement of her Majesty's intended visit, and with no promise of an un usual military display, this fine morning was sufficient to induce some 3,000 passengers to secure tickets for Chertsey alone before nine o'clock. The powers of the railway officials were taxed to the uttermost, and no thing but a series of well-arranged and admirably worked express trains could have sufficed to transport the crowds who continued to arrive at the station up to 11 o'clock. There were the usual members of the aristocracy, and among them a great many female equestrians. The supply of vehicles at Chertsey was very deficient, and the prices of locomotion between the railway station and the camp rose to a premium with the arrival of the first monster train. Nothing less than 10s. was accepted even for a seat on the roof of an omnibus, and a great many hundred persons failed in securing the means of conveyance at that exorbitant figure. The consequence was, the road throughout the whole distance was thronged with pedestrians melting under the influence of a scorching sun, and nearly chocked with the thick cloud of dust which the sandy road threw up as the dif ferent vehicles traversed it. igsbel; izabe"' N•B• ; rovid eir a gi ll % Vo el ' A nt. orothes, Medley' DR.

It is idle to descant upon an opera so well known to all true connoisseurs, but we cannot refrain from refer ring cursorily to its leading points. Of these, the duet between the chief Brahmin and the novice ; the duet with the sisters which precedes the breaking of the staves and the extinction of the lights which symbolise the im pending sacrifice ; and the trio in which the young priest delivers his fatal message, are the most remarkable of the first. act. In the second, the air alla Espagnuola of Tristano ; another duet between the sisters (one of the loveliest effusions of domestic and sentimental tender ness that the world of art possesses) ; and the exquisite air of Amazili, in which she responds to the admiration of Nadori, may be cited ; adding to them the distracted love plaints, the theme of the air of Tristano, and the pious and exultant apostrophe of Jessonda, which are the two principal solos of the third. If there are sceptics as to the descriptive power of Spohr we could point to the Brahminical hymns in the temple, the fan tastic strains of the Bayederes, the choruses of the Por- DROITNVICH PATENT SALT COMPANY. , The Proprietors are hereby rmed that the next F LZ4IiLY GENERAL MEETINGin is fo appointed to be heId HAL at the o n ( d n }l °tel, St. Martin's le-grand, opposite the General Post-office un, on FRIDAY, the 26th August instant, at Two o'Clock Precise, By order of the Court, MARTIN PRATT.

The telegraphic intelligence which we elsewhere publish, announcing the Emperor of Russia's ac ceptance of the propositions agreed to by the repre sentatives of the Four Powers at Vienna, may, to a certain extent, be regarded as satisfactory, inas much as it indicates an approximation towards a pacific—and, let us hope, an honourable—solution of the present difficulties in Eastern Europe. In the absence, however, of any definite information as to the extent and nature of those propositions, we are of course unable to judge of the precise value to be set on the Imperial assent to the terms which they embody. In particular, until we learn that the proposals in question contemplate the im mediate and unconditional evacuation of the Prin cipalities, it would be unsafe to assume that the acquiescence of the Court of St. Petersburgh affords any guarantee for the peaceful termination of the dispute. After all that we have seen of the mingled violence and bad faith which have charac terised the policy of Russia in this matter, it is impossible—especially as regards the vital question of the Danubian Provinces—to take anything for granted which is not distinctly and specifically expressed. In the meanwhile, it is scarcely probable that the Marquis of Clanricarde will elicit, by his ques tion this evening, any satisfactory information as to the conduct of the Russian authorities in the Principalities. No direct accounts from Moldavia have been received since the conver sation on the subject which, a few days ago, arose in the House of Lords ; and after dispatch ing a special messenger to St. Petersburgh with a remonstrance against the proceedings forced on the Hospodar, Lord Clarendon can scarcely commit himself to any further step until he has received an answer. Nor can the particular acts of the Russian commanders in the principalities have much influence on the ultimate alternative of peace or war. The withdrawal or suspension of allegiance to the Porte completes the case of usur pation against the Court of St. Petersburgh ; and we cannot have any direct concern with the pro visional forms of a Government which it is impos sible for us to recognise as legitimate. The real question for the allied powers is, not whether the leaders of the invading army abuse their position, but whether they are to continue to hold it. Public law was violated when the Pruth was crossed ; and no man seriously supposed that a country subject to military occupation would retain its practical in dependence, even if a show of regard for constitu tional forms load been preserved. The decision rests, as in almost all cases of crime, with the the wrong-doer alone. France and England are willing at the last moment to accept explanations, if the aggressor will relinquish the territories which he has seized. In the event of a refusal, they also must put forth their strength ; and any efforts which they may make to restore the political equilibrium of the world will have the countenance and support, if not the direct aid, of Austria and Prussia, both of which are justly alarm ed for their o wn security while their neighbour's house is flames. The minor states of Europe will watch with breathless anxiety the result of negotia tion or of war. Every prince on the continent, despotic or constitutional, will know that his very existence depends on the solution of the ques tions which have now been raised. For nearly forty years, treaties have been sufficient to restrain the great military monarchies from attempts at terri torial aggrandisement ; but if Russia is allowed to seize adjacent dominions at her pleasure, the prece dent of rounding off frontiers at the expense of weaker States may be followed with dangerous facility. the many unfortunate conseque nces of TAKE NOTICE !

We understand that a telegraphic dispatch has been received by her Majesty's Government from Vienna, from which it appears that the Emperor of Russia has accepted the propositions of the Four Powers. At the time when the last Cabinet courier from St. Petersburgh left that capital the proposal in question had not yet been received there, but an intimation had already been given by the Russian Government to the British Minister that it was the Emperor's intention to accept the terms recom mended to him by the Conference at Vienna. That decision is now announced to have taken place, and we trust that we may congratulate the country and the rest of Europe on the speedy termination of the prolonged crisis which has already produced so much serious- loss and embarrassment, and has threatened to cause still more formidable conse quences to the peace and tranquillity of the world. This result—if, as we have now reason confidently to hope, it be indeed attained—is the most con clusive answer to the taunts and impatience of that party which has urged urged upon the Government a more active policy, and it is the appropriate re ward of the steady forbearance with which these ne gotiations have been conducted. At the same time, after the repeated alternations and disappoint ments which have occurred in the course of this question, we cannot place entire confidence in any declaration of the Russian Government until it has been followed by positive and immediate compli ance with the terms proposed. As long as the Russian armies continue to occupy any portion of the Turkish territory, a flagrant infraction of the public law of Europe has been committed, and the arrangement to which Russia is now understood to accede must, of course, include an entire and im mediate cessation of a state of things which is utterly inconsistent with the independence of the East and the peace of Europe. We shall therefore await with the utmost impatience the fuller details which must soon reach us as to the nature and extent of the terms to which Russia gives her assent. Until they are known and acted upon we cannot regard this period of suspense as entirely at an end ; but, from telegraphic dispatch which has been already received, we believe that the first and most important step has been taken, that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ceases to hold out against the united determination of Europe, and that, if the most ordinary good faith be observed by the Em peror in the subsequent stages of this transaction, he will escape the disgrace and the danger of in flicting the horrors of war upon the world. protest against the severance of Moldavia from Turkey is still on its road to its destination. Nor must it be forgotten that there are other elements of uncertainty and danger, over which the me diating Powers have no control ; for, at any mo ment, the news may arrive that a change of Ministry at Constantinople has precipitated hosti lities, notwithstanding the prudent advice tendered by England and France to the Porte. When diplomacy is employed in adjusting the terms of an arrangement which all parties seriously desire, a mere analysis of the facts and bearings of the case will often supply materials for a confident antici pation of the result ; but it is always difficult to calculate on the passions of individuals, or to fore see the extent to which ambition may outweigh the dictates of justice and prudence. Were the Czar determined on extorting, at all hazards, the sub mission of his opponents, war would ensue, in spite of all reasons in favour of peace. It cannot, however, be too often repeated that ostentatious preparations for war may, after all, be only a machinery of intimidation ; nor can it be supposed that Russian statesmen are unable to count fleets and armies, although it may have been thought expedient to assure the people that the Emperor's enemies will be scattered like dust before the wind. Should the aggressor persist in his design, he would embark in the contest with out an open ally, and even without a secret well wisher. Austria and Prussia live in con stant dread of their encroaching ne i g hb ou r, and the minor Princes of Germany have no desire to be come Muscovite pensioners, on a level with the Prince of Georgia or the descendants of the Khan of the Crimea. Even the immediate object of the Imperial aggression would be by no means a con temptible enemy. Behind the Danub e , the Turkish dominions are protected by three strong fortresses, defended by a race unsurpassed .in the obstinate courage with which they meet -besiegers. Some doubts may be entertained of „th e quality of the -Turkish infantry, and it is noialmssbable_that, regular campaign, they could face the Russian army on equal terms. Yet it is known that the military organisation of the Ottoman Empire has been greatly improved since the war which ended in 1829, nor could the Russians again count on the disloyalty which, at that time, had been caused by the then recent reforms of Sultan Mahmoud. Die bitsch, after buying the frontier fortresses, crossed the Balkan with so much difficulty that he was only saved from a disastrous retreat by the sudden conclusion of the Treaty of Adrianople. In the event of a new invasion, many risks would be run before Menschikoff or Gortschakoff could establish a second claim to the title of Sabalkanski. The Turkish fleet, already strengthened by the Egyptian contingent, numbers as many guns as the Russian fleet in the Black Sea ; and on the eastern coast of the Euxine, thousands of fanatical Mussulmans are ready to engage in a crusade on behalf of the repre sentative of the Prophet. The Circassians must already be meditating the recovery of the frontier from which, in the course of twenty years of war, they have been slowly and painfully pushed back. The army of the Caucasus at least would spare no aid to the forces on the Danube ; and it is not im probable that Persia also would take a part in the general struggle. The resistance of Europe would, however, be far more formidable. England alone has power to close the Sound and the Bosphorus, and to shut up the Russian fleet in Cronstadt and Sebastopol. France, again, is singly superior to Russia at sea, and certainly not inferior by land. Were Louis Napoleon to throw his whole strength into the struggle, the Russian army would be overmatched even on the Danube; and, meanwhile, Austria would stand by, with forces equal to those of Russia, to watch the course of events. It is true that the Emperor Nicholas may at one time have persuaded himself that, by audacity, he could paralyse or divide his antagonists ; but no war of conquest has hitherto been undertaken in the face of so overwhelming a preponderance of strength. If, under these circumstances, Russia refuses to evacuate the Principalities, it is evident that the defiance thrown out to Europe will have been de liberate and premeditated. So dangerous a reso lution can only be taken from a desire of aggran dis ement too strong to yield either to conciliation or to menaces. The persevering moderation of England and France may have offered some strate gic advantages to the invader, but it will not have been the cause of the war. On the other hand, it will be much to have satisfied the whole world that the blame rests exclusively with the Imperial aggressor ; nor is it a trifling advantage to have waited until the bias of the Austrian Government yielded to the pressing necessity of union with the Western Powers. BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS. The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the sth of July, issued this morning, continue to furnish results sufficient to explain the increasing demand for money, as well as the inconsiderate independence of the working classes now manifesting itself by strikes in all parts of the country. As compared with the corres ponding month of last year, the declared value of ex portations again shows an enormous increase, the diffe rence being 1,003,637/. This augmentation is still satisfactorily spread over every branch of production, the only item in which there is a falling off of the slightest importance being wool, which, as on former occasions, has simply been retained at home because the extraordi nary demand of our own manufacturers prevents us from sparing any for shipment. It is also to be remarked, that although as regards the extent to which the totals of each month are now influenced by the rise in prices of raw ma terial some considerable allowance is to be made, the fact that cotton, the most important of the whole, re mains at last year's quotations diminishes greatly the weight of this consideration. At the same time, however, that the prosperity exhibited has evidently been shared by all departments of trade, the heads u nder which the greatest increase is observable ar e suc h as to denote that the attractions of the Australian ma r ket have superseded all others. Hence, notwithstanding the character of the last accounts, there will be reason for great anxiety as to the ultimate fate of the aggregate consignments to that quarter, effected, as they have been, at a cost for labour that would render their sacrifice on the spot at low prices, or their reshipment to other countries, alto gether ruinous. M ean while, whatever may be the pros pect pending the next arrivals, which will probab l y bring intelligen ce of the effect of the supply of goods taken out by the numerous vessels that left England at the end of 1852, and were so long windbound in the Channel, enough is shown to explain the state that must naturally prevail in the money-market during the time that this trade, with its peculiarity of long-deferred re turns, shall remain unchecked, and to confirm the anti-, cipationg expressed at the commencement of the year, that the bullion in the Bank of England might, from c i r cumstances of the kind , be subject to unusual alter nations.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE IN THE METROPOLIS.-011 Saturday the bill of Lord Palmerston on the smoke nui sance, as altered, was printed, Since it was last no ticed it has been materially altered. From the Ist of August, 1854, furnaces in the metropolis are to consume their own smoke. Steam-vessels on the Thames between London-bridge and Richmond -bridge from the same day are to consume their own smoke. No person is to be liable to any penalty in respect of the use of any furnace or steam-engine where coke or other fuel not emitting smoke is only used therein. Constables may not be empowdered to enter and inspect furnaces and steam- engines. The execution of the opera on Saturday night was in every way worthy of the house ; and we were scarcely prepared for so successful a delivery of a work which has 'but little in common with the ofdinarY rontine of Italian vocalism. Mine. Angiolina Bosio was the represenCative of Jessonda, and Mme. Castellan of her sister Amazil, both highly interesting personations, the latter parti cularly so. The two duets, which may be pronounced the gems of the opera, were beautifully rendered bythese ladies, who sang them with a delicacy and taste to which we are bound to render every praise. Madame Bosio was encored in the delicious movement in the first act, in which she dwells with fond remembrance on the hap piness of bygone days. She might, however, have thrown both into her de p ortment and singing a greater amount of dramatic fire. She sang sweetly and cor rectly, and with a refinement which we have already panegyrised ; but Spohr , in reality, was left to make his own impression. This he did ; nevertheless, the tame ness of the artist was a drawback which she may reason ably the other bet;elal7d, her n r delivery of the music was as interesting as it was co h u a n n s d e , lle s d ang to w a it m h e t n h d e . faultless. Signor Lucchesi, as Nadori, came out of the ordeal with unexpected ability, and a very useful ut M m a o d st ate fe e rvo C u a : singer was discovered in a member of the troupe who has hitherto had but a limited opportunity of distinguishing himself. The air of the impressionable novice, in which he throws off the moral bondage of the temple, demands both skill and power ; and Signor Lucchesi, notwith standing certain coarsenesses and redundancies of style, displayed both. Belletti, who sustained the part of the Portuguese general, won an encore by his neat and spirited interpretation of the Spanish air in the second act ; and the grave and definite sonority of the voice of Formes, in the solos of the high priest was invaluable. The chorus singers were not uniformly good, occasional uncertainties in the first finale betray ing an imperfect state of discipline. But nothing could exceed the excellence of the orchestra. The well-known overture was not only finely played, but the accompani ments throughout were given with a precision, richness, and colour which adequately sustained the reputation of the Royal Italian body of instrumentalists. It is in operas of this recondite texture that the worth of these accomplished players is really and unmistakeably felt. The executive ensemble was well supported by the scenic adjuncts. Mr. William Beverly has painted a very beautiful landscape for the second act, delineating the encampment of the Portuguese invaders, backed by a line of distant mountains, bathed in a warm trans parent atmosphere. The decorations are not altogether new, but they have been selected with care, and the general coup d'ceil is costly and appropriate. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the performances with their presence. The Queen and the Prince were accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred. The Royal suite consisted of the Marquis of Ormonde, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Hon. Matilda Paget, Capt. the Hon. Dudley De Ros, Colonel Bouverie, and Mr. Gibbs. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also honoured the theatre with his presence. Major the Hon. James Macdonald was in attendance upon his Royal Highness. Their Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar were also present.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.—The neighbourhood of Hatfield has been painfully excited for the last two or three days by the commission of a most brutal murder by a disso lute wretched-looking tramp, who described himself to be a Spaniard, named Miguel Eschiero. The unfortu tunate victim was a well-conducted boy, aged 14, of the name of Scales, son of the shepherd of Colonel F. Gre ville, of North Mimms. The coroner's inquest was held on Friday, and, from what was elicited, there is little doubt that the prisoner has taken part in many des perate burglaries which have recently been committed in the district. It appears that in the course of Thursday, Webb, a gamekeeper on the estate, had his attention drawn to a suspicious-looking character in an adjacent barley-field, who apparently was setting snares. As soon as the fellow saw the keeper he ran away, and Webb sent a dog after him, which caught him by the boot. On Webb coming up to the man, he made a desperate struggle, in which the keeper received a fearful blow on the back of the head from a bludgeon which the accused had in his hand. At length he was secured, and, with assistance, he ;was brought to the po lice station. The police observed his hands, fingers, and nails, and parts of his trousers were stained with blood, and, upon some questions being put to him, he muttered something to the effect that he had murdered Webb's companion (the poor boy was employed to watch the plantation). Inspector English, the officer who had the case in hand, then returned to the barley field, and he discovered a part of the crop to be trodden, as if by some person o a o r so m said illegal he was ur pose, and, being disturbed by the e prisoner blood.pers on in severely the officer struggling,and proceedingt the e grounda little sp o further,ttedwith he found the lifeless body of the unfortunate l ad ; the head was shockingly mutilated , as if beaten in by some heavy instrument. It was evident that the poor boy had been murdered , and on the prisoner beingob l ige dtodn w taxed e withot deceased, he instantly a ttacked him and effected his murder. On the spot was found a napkin, which contained some bread and cheese. The napkin was identified as part of some stolen from the residence of the hon. M rs. S. rtroperty at Brocklin, which was entered a few nights athurst, was also found wearing a sho e which was since. H e stolen from an adjacent farm, which was broken into night. The other shoe was picked on th e p rev i ous up near the scene of the murder. The jury returned a verdict o f murder" against the accu se d, h e " Wilful county gaol at Hertford, to await t as lodged in the hi next assizes. He is betwe en thirty and trial at the age,. and states himself to be a y forty years of Spun. e of Arragon , in On reaching the camp her Majesty drove direct to a marquee on the summit of the Lang-down, from which'it had been arranged, the .royal party , should view thei3pmttetht — ottlietlay: What thoseiverationi; were intended to represent, did not, as it happened, very clearly appear ; but, we believe, the object of the Lieu tenant-General Commanding was to give the Sovereign some idea of the means by which a fortification might be stormed. For this purpose, a redoubt had been thrown up by the Sappers on one of the numerous ele vated positions near the centre of the common, and di rectly facing the position of the royal party. It has been said that the visitors onthisocc,asion were exceedingly numerous. It may be added, that on very few occasions have the numerous points of sight been so densely occupied as on Saturday. At a moderate estimate, there could not have been less than from 10,000 to 15,000 spectators on the ground. Among the members of the aristocracy present we remarked the Duke of Beaufort, with his daughters, in a phaeton drawn by his Grace's favourite piebalds, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, with Lady Burghersh and Lady Rachel Russell, the Earl of Car digan, the Countess Frances Waldegrave and Mr. Har court, M.P., Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Earl of Euston, the Earl of Annesley, the Right Hon. the Speaker, Lord Bingham, Major-General the Hon. George Anson, and many others. The military manoeuvres may be told in a few lines. After the usual inspection by the commanding officers, the troops marched from their quarters into Catlin's Valley, taking up their position upon the hills on the west side, opposite the redoubt, and near the tents of the royal party. The redoubt, which was undefended by artillery, was occupied by detachments of the Sappers and Miners, the 23d Fusiliers, and the Scots Fusiliers. Taking the royal tents as the centre of the position of the attacking forces, they draw up as follows :—On the right flank was a battalion of the Household Brigade, with the Scots Greys in line of squadrons, on the left were the two remaining battalions and the Bth Hussars ; a little behind the Bth Hussars and Scots Greys were the Horse Guards and 4th Dragoons, in reserve, with Col. Lockyer's Brigade of the 79th, 97th, and 19th Regiments. On the left was the storming party, and the honour on this occasion fell to the lot of the 35th Regiment, in the brigade of General Sir Richard Eng land. They were disposed under cover of some hills in advance of the redoubt, and supported by other re giments of their brigade and the main body of troops on the right. The instant the signal for the assault was given, the troops forming the right and left of the at tacking force moved forward by way of diversion, while at the same moment the 35th broke from their cover and advanced with their scaling ladders towards the re doubt at double quick time, Their fire, as they rushed up the hill to storm, was very slack, and the enemy for a moment or two returned it hotly. But this was only for a moment ; supposed to be overawed by the strength of the attacking forces, they hastily evacuated the redoubt, escaping over the bridge which crossed the fosse on the east side. The 35th pressed forward with a loud cheer, and with their scaling ladders borne among the men, gallantly breasted the hill. In the course of a minute or so they had reached the re doubt, descended by the aid of their ladders the deep fosse which surrounded it, and presently were pouring like bees up and over its steep walls. The attack, we should have stated, was carried on finder a sharp fire of artillery from several elevated positions facing the re doubt. The storming party had scarcely obtained pos session of the redoubt when their commander appeared to entertain a suspicion that the troops who had just evacuated it would probably blow up the fortress, and an order to retire was immediately given. The first bitch in the day's movements occurred here. An elec tric battery had been prepared, and wires communicating with a subterranean magazine laid down, but from some unexplained cause, the apparatus failed, and after an awkward delay of half an hour, which the spectators could not understand, the desired explosion was effected by the old-fashioned fusee process. After this contretemps, a variety of evolutions were gone through, and some firing took place, but in a very short period the offensive and defensive operations of the day gave place to a magnificent spectacle, viz., the marching of the whole division passed the Sovereign, who, for the more perfect display of this portion of the day's proceedings, re-entered the royal carriage and drove some distance from her marqude to a plain of level ground admirably adapted for the purpose. The carriage in which the Queen rode having been brought into its position, those of the aristocracy drew up in the immediate vicinity, and around and about the royal party were a field of probably 300 or 400 eques trians. The bands of the different regiments having stationed themselves opposite her Majesty's carriage, at a given signal simultaneously struck up the lively air of " St. Patrick's Day in the Morning," to which the staff first cantered past, Viscount Hardinge, General Com manding-in-Chief, heading the brilliant array, and Lord Seaton, mounted on a very splendid charger, immediately preceding the Ist Regiment—the Royal Horse Guards Blue. All the cavalry regiments cantered past, the horses keeping time to the music in a really wonderful manner, and producing oue of the most beautiful effects we have ever witnessed. Perhaps the most striking feature, however, was the passage of the Royal Horse Artillery which gallopped past at full speed—the horses " lying down ' to their work and exhibiting a marvellous degree of training, the drivers having them under the most perfect command, even when at their greatest speed. The Foot Artillery and the rest of the division marched past to the tune of the "British Grenadiers)-" The Queen and the royal party now proceeded, amid the reiterated cheers of the spectators, to the royal marquee, where her Majesty partook of luncheon. The royal party left the camp on their return to Lon don at three o'clock. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the undress uniform of his regiment, mounted a charger shortly after his arrival, and remained on horseback until the royal party left the ground. The Prince, relieved of the for mality of military duty, entered into conversation with several members of the aristocracy, and was especially courteous to the Speaker, whose love of military display appears to be as great as Ins devotion to the service of his country in another place. We are very happy to be enabled to announce the complete recovery of Col. Bentinck from the effects of his late accident. T HE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—PLYMOUTH, Saturday.- The government contract mailship Vimeira Captain H. Neatby, which sailed yesterday with the Australian bolted mails,_ re entgiir el sters 1,037 t ons, i s b uilt of teak, copper y, and was launched in 1850 from t? - building-yard of Mr. J. Lang, Sunderland. In 1851, in charge of her present commander, she accomplished the outward passage from England to Port Phillip in 90 days. and the passage home from Sydney, by Cape Horn in 91 days. In 1852, outward to Port Philip, she took 87 days, and homeward from Sydney 82 days. Her present contract is to go out to Port Philip in 82 days, for which she will receive 1,0001., paying a for feit of 301. for every day's delay beyond the stipu lated time. The Vimeira has a picked crew of 48 hands. Among her 30 passengers ii Mr. Odenheimer, professor of geology, whose services are engaged by the Peel River Company. She has for cargo more than 1,000 tons of British manufactured goods, valued o at over 100,0001., and on deck she carries 32 Merino rams, and a very valuable Clydesdale entire horse a. for the colonies. The last of the mails was received she d was t 5.30 p.m. on Friday, and within 15 ne n un u r at t e ! emigration from N.W.

O n th e 17th inst. there were in the hospital 145 cases of yellow fever. " For the past two days," says the Bulletin " there have been 51 deaths by yellow fever." In May there were two deaths by this disease, in June 24, and from the Ist to the 16th July inclusive, 181. The largest number in any one day, occurred on the last day mentioned, when there were 26. By the arrival of the steam-ship Northern Light, we have advices from California to July 1. The Northern Light brought 400,000 dols., and reports 1,645,799 dols., having been shipped from San Francisco in the steam-ship Oregon. Two more destructive conflagrations have visited the enterprising towns of Shasta and Rough and Ready, one of which destroyed property in the former city to the amount of 237,000 dols., and in the latter only 15 houses of all descriptions were left standing. A horrible murder had been committed in Sacra mento by a man named Strible, upon his brother's wife, and an attempt also to kill his brother, and to end his own existence at the same time: He s# , , ceeded in cleaving his brother's head aLla cutting his own throat, but both at last accounts were still • • alive, though in a•verrortheatoon During the six months - ending June 27, as we gather from the shipping list, the number of pas sengers that arrived in San Francisco by sea, was 23,741 ; of whom 19,779 were males, 3,396 females, and 566 children. During the same time, left 14 ,326--showing an addition of only 9,415 to the population. The smuggling of opium has become quite a busi- ness amongst the Chinese passengers who arrive at California, and large quantities of the article have been seized by the officers of the customs who have been on the look-out for the smugglers for some time past. Amongst other contrivances for carry ing it ashore they had adopted that of sewing it in belts similar to that worn as money belts - others have it stitched in the linings o f their clothes, in their shoes, and in all imaginable places. A lot of it was found in the bottom of a pork barrel. The San Francisco Herald says, that a plan was laid on the night of the 24th of June, during the prevalence of a strong south wind, t o fire the city. A coil of tarred rope was attached to the Mineral Point House, between 9th and 7th streets, and one end lighted. The reflection of the blaze was happily discovered by the bar keeper, and the danger averted in time. The police are in vigi lant search for a suspicious person, who had been seen about the premises a short time before the in cident occurred. The mines are represented as being still worked with the usual success, and the miners are in a healthy and prosperous condition. The _Nevada Journal describes a lump of quartz and gold exhibited at the banking-house of H. Davis, weighing 52 pounds avoirdupois, the esti mated value of which was 6,000 dols. The lump has since been melted, and 351bs. soz. of gold, worth 17 dols. per oz., taken from it, giving a value of 7,021 dols. This great prize was taken from Hopkins' Creek, six feet below the surface. The Oregon papers contain rumours of the dis covery of rich and extensive gold mines on the Santiam river, some fifty miles from Salem, which are reported to pay from 10 dollars to 50 dollars per day to the men. By telegraph from Charleston we learn that the steam-ship Isabel had arrived at that port from Havana and Key West. Her news is quite unin teresting. By an arrival at New Orleans we have advices from the city of Mexico to the 16th instant. The press were discussing the question of a Spanish protectorate, and it is said that the government are favourable to such a measure. Count Raous set de Boulbon, of Sonora notoriety, had arrived at Mexico, and was permitted an interview with the President. Robberies were becoming alarm ingly frequent. Much damage had been done to the indigo and corn crops of Southern Mexico by clouds of locusts. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Nzw YORK, JULY 27. Business at New York was improving.
