Human-su-CriumN, or the Tae-Ping- Wang, or, to speak rather more intelligibly, the " Prince of Universal Peace," is carrying everything before him with a magnificent hand, as the Chief of the Great Chinese Revolution. At least, it is so posi tively declared, in the latest intelligence received from Shanghai, intelligence dated up to the 30th of May inclusively, and recounting the particulars of Sir GEORGE BONHAM'S mission to Nankin, in regard to which we have now, during some time past, been looking eagerly forward, in the hope a obtaining more detailed and really reliable in formation. Authentic accounts of this mission have at length reached this country, and from them it would actually seem, that events have already transpired in the Celestial Empire com pletely in accordance with many of our rtly be re expressed an ti c ipations. The insur nts, it will be remembered, had, within an interval of nearly two years' duration, en tirely mastered one-half (the southern half) of the Chinese territory. Their dominion at the close of those two years' resolute and uninterrupted have agitation was f ound to extended from a line running almost directlylost east and west downwards, am in one direction, to the Gulf of Ton-king, and in another to the wate rs of the Fuli-kien Channel. Nankin was already in theirpossession. Thither have been sedulously collecting together supplies of rice in enormous quantities,n employ ing daily in this one operati on less than 20,000 labourers—so that it isestimatedtthoants, with 1,000 full junks, each containing 40,3 of the grain, an aggregate of 150,000 tons of rice had even now, in that one city, as the i r principal store-place or granary, been accumulated. A dditional enforcements, it was known well enough, were in rapid process of organisation. Batteries were being erected, accoutrements were being manufactured, guns were being' mounted—some o f them, too, capital 24-pounders ! All this was tolerably well known from the drift of our pre vious scraps of information. It was sufficiently notorious, moreover , that .the Imperialists had hitherto been worsted in all directions by their antagonists—that the earlier successes marking the popular movement were still being steadily followed up by new advantages—above all, that the so-called " rebels" had emblazoned upon their banners the symbols of their recently-announced faith in Christianity. Nevertheless, with these inost startling accounts we received almost simul taneously in England others of a perfectly dif ferent complexion, and in all respects, it must be allowed, quite as extraordinary. It was rumoured in this manner that a change in the fortunes of the war might at once be con fidently expected. it Chinese the Emperor havingwas intimated that some really hitherto reserved his more efficient troops forr about to emergency, was momentous assaeunge himself for the disloyal temerity of hi s measure of retribution, b e f ore s by a crushin g were to advance of which there be swept into , the irresistible and tramnledl the sea, and scattered to the winds, in the dust, the gigantic army of the Revolutionists ' Expectation was on tiptoe for news of this • pre dicted reversal of the movement. Everybody not familiar with the habitual falsehood of the Imperial authorities of China, credulously awaited the arrival of intelligence as to the complete success of this boastfully prophesied reta liation. How have these " hums and has" at the hinted instability of the good fortune accorded during two years, consecutively to the insurgents, been justified ? How have events illustrated the significance of these elevated eye brows and ostentatious shrugs of the shoulder ? How ? Why, according to this most authentic and most reliable information in reference to Sir GEORGE BoratAm's mission to Nankin; and dated up to the 30th of May from Shanghai—triumph, uninterrupted triumph has still marked every step taken by the troops of the Revolutionists ! TAE-PING-WANG may now count his followers by hundreds of thousands. Everywhere, as yet, his advent has been welcomed as the assurance of political, social, and religious liberation. He has identified his cause with the acceptance of the holy records of Judea, with the recognition of the sublime and beautiful dogmas of Christianity. Ho is the leader of a resolute band of Iconoclasts —determined at all hazards to destroy those idols which throughout Asia have for centuries been cherished objects of adoration. He is enforcing with the most rigorous severity the maintenance of morality, and. even the prevention of impro prieties. He is suppressing the dangerous vice of opium eating by the infliction of a somewhat stringent penalty —capital punishment. He is e ve n bringing down the bamboo upon th e law less smokers of tobacco. Recognised as one in spired, revered as a personage directly in structed by the light of Divine revelations, he is yet keeping within bounds the ardour o f his disciples, tempering their fanaticism, an d restraining their enthusiasm. While the army is entitled the " Holy Army " and. Nankin the " Holy City," TAE-PING-WA.NG con tents himself with the modest appellation of Choo, or Lord, prohibiting the application to his own person of the sacred adjectives Shang (high) and Shing (holy), in consideration of their being epithets peculiarly dedicated to the OMNIPOTENT. Destruction appears, indeed, to be at length ' descending in earnest upon the fated race of the Mantchoos. Immediately upon their destruction (for the war waged against them by the insur gents is a war of absolute extermination), the horrible superstitions of Buddhism will become forthwith extinguished. Already the veneration of the Trimarti is giving wayto the simple adoration of the Trinity. Mahometanism, though energetic in its advances, appears to be failing in its most strenu ous efforts to compete with the steady and almost to appearance instinctive conversion of 350,000,000 of the human race to the one and only true Re ligion. The Cross once more is shining above the Crescent, and before another decade has elapsed, it now appears in every way probable that the vast mass of the Chinese population may have em braced the benign and salutary truths of Chris tianity. If the infamous deception to which we yester day directed the public attention had been as prudently and cautiously carried out, and had it been audaciously and craftily conceived, it is im possible to say what might have been the result of the vexatious and protracted litigation that must have ensued where a stake of such magnitude was played, for neither party would have with drawn from the contest so long as the slightest hope of ultimate success remained. The de fendant would, of course, have defended his ample possessions to the last, with abundant means of carrying on the expensive proceedings. He would have contested every stage, and ,gone from Court to Court until the costly strife had come to a conclusion. On the other hand, any favourable indication on the part of the plaintiff would have procured him numerous sympathisers, ready and willing to make the necessary advances. The romantic nature of his tale would have insured the greatest interest on every side, and men, excited either by feelings of compassion or cupidity, would have vied with each other in the desire to assist the modern ARTHUR ANNESLEY—the HARRY BERTRAM of real life, and to insure for him the wide-spread do mains and honourable title belonging to the head of the SMYTHS of Long Ashton. The , humane and charitable, the romantic in disposi tion, would have required no stimulus to induce them to take up the case, while the covetous would have seen in the princely inheritance that would have devolved upon the claimant if his title were established a mode by which they could have obtained the most extravagant and usurious in terest for any loans they might choose to advance pendente lite. Under almost any circumstances the matter would have been contested to the last extremity but for the lamentable exhibition made by the impostor under the skilful cross-examina tion of Sir FREDERICK THESIGER, and the palpable mendacity of some of his statements, none of which could have been elicited but for the recent amendment in the Law of Evidence, which allowed parties to be examined in their own causes. For instance, the assertion that the Marchioness of BATH had, when he was only 13 years of age, handed him over 1,500/. which his mother had left, although his school bills were unpaid at Winchester, and the audacious falsehood that he, an unknown boy of 18 years of age, had been at the Duchess of RICHMOND'S ball at Brussels, on the eve of Waterloo ;- and that "he was at Paris with the Allied Sovereigns the day after the ball;" the description of his early life, when given—not to a credulous . crowd of friends and admirers, all steadfast believers in the authenticity of his claim —but to an acute advocate, who drew forth in numerable inconEl itencies and gross contradictions— led to the speedy termination and unequivocal ex posure of this vile attempt at imposition, supported by the most atrocious forgery and perjury. The tale itself was simple, and not very impro bable. There would be nothing very extraordi nary in the youthful heir to a title and large for. tune privately marrying a very handsome young lady of respectable family, and, on her early death in child-birth, preserving his secret for the pur pose of contracting another alliance more pleasing to his family. The novel of " Christopher Tad pole" is founded on a similar supposition ; and what appeared by no means improbable when re lated by ALBERT SMITH Of Sir FREDERICK ARDEN, might easily be credited when narrated by Sir RICHARD HUGH SMYTH, Baronet, of the for mer Sir HUGH, his father and predeces sor. The idea of the mother flying from Ireland to a provincial town in England, and there dying, appeared sufficiently plausible to any reader of the " Stories of Waterloo," who has perused GEORGE HILTON'S tale. But why fix on a relative of the BANDON family as the lady ? Simply because the impostor had, if, as we believe, he be indeed the person who was in 1839-40 de signatedth the clapstei olli which eland as " the lost heir" ( an d the des.extraordinary marks on his wrist, his general and many of the leading features of h are very similar to those put for wardby the fictitious " THOMAS SMITH" in ' his account strongly lead to the supposi tion) h o had visited the neighbourhood of Courtmacherry, relating to the and lead access to documents BAND ONfamily, which enabled him to learn th e marriage o of the f a th er o f the ' first Earl of BANDON t maiden name was "SuyTn." As. COOKING, whose clever scoundrel— for, notwithstanding his deplorable defi c i enc i es i n I orthography, he was clever in some respects-- t m i g ht easily from such materi a l s f ound his tal e , that H UG" mat LL SMYTH, the heir p resumptive to th e Long Ashton estate, visited Ireland, and marri e d the daughter of a foreign Count, and ni ece to the then Lord BANDON, that he had returned home, and been followed by his deserted wife, who died in child-birth. The alleged deeds or wills, by Sir HUGH SMYTH, are just such as a bold scoundrel clever in the art of coun terfeiting handwriting, and one who had previously c oncocted a similar fraud, would make out iu d per alluded, de order to strengthen his case. , The Irish impostor to whom we have succee of more suading the sister of the man he personated in of his identity, and obtained the testimony than thirty witnesses, who distinctly and , posi tively swore that he was the person he represented i himself to be. And this was all accomplished by sheer impudence, and unblushing hardihood of 1 assertion—the marks on the wrists were strongly relied on, as having been occasioned by a burn during infancy, which rendered the nurse by whom the real " THOMAS SMITH" had been at tended an ardent and enthusiastic advocate in his behalf. Nothing, in fact, but being a li title too circumstantial in his story, and thus affording the opportunity of speedy detection by the pro fessional gentlemen engaged on the other side, pre vented the success of his audacious attempt. He then saw the advantages of his villany, by means whereof he swindled many persons, and was enabled to live for several years on his intended imposition. Indeed, he had nearly succeeded in obtaining a considerable advance from a wealthy capitalist—one of the most cautious and intelli gent persons that could be found in any country. He had, therefore, the materials prepared, had enjoyed the sweets of deception, and we cannot feel surprised that he should again have come forward in a similar manner. There is one extraordinary circumstance in the case, which is peculiarly worthy of notice, that is, the number of witnesses who, no doubt honestly and conscientiously, but erroneously, gave evidence as to the handwriting of friends and relatives now no more. There was no imputation on their cha racters, and yet their easiness of belief might have led to very serious mischief—in fact, to the depri vation of the birthright of the legitimate heir. This circumstance strongly exhibits the caution that should be used by persons coming forward as witnesses to handwriting on insufficient data. The whole of this singular imposture will, we have no doubt, render the case of SMYTH Y. SMYTH one of the most remarkable of modern times—perhaps the foundation of a tale not infe rior in interest to " Guy Mannering" itself. The hereditary legislators appear desirous of regaining the position which they had abandoned in almost the only case where it could beneficially have been retained. In order to make com pensation for the apathy and indifference exhibited on the Government of India Bill, they have ruthlessly sacrificed four or five of the most valuable measures of the Session, which had been care fully and elaborately framed—introduced at the earliest moment, even before the separation for the Christmas holidays, and subjected to the most stringent investigation during their progress through the representative branch of Parliament. It is true that there was no gigantic job to be carried, no useless and anomalous institution to be bolstered up and maintained under cover of the Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill, or in the group of measures for the amelioration of the landlord and tenant code in the sister kingdom. In place of perpetuating the discontent of the Oriental subjects of Queen VICTORIA, they were calculated to remove the grievances of the pea santry of the western kingdom of Europe, and, by the abolition of the exciting causes, to prevent the recurrence of the agrarian outrages that have dis graced the sister kingdom as the scene of such horrible atrocities, and the Imperial Parliament displayed such culpable negligence as to the system which led to such harrowing results. In place of continuing an exceedingly defective ad ministration of the law, they would by future gene rations have been regarded as some of the most im portant legal reforms introduced at a season when there was a general anxiety for the amelioration of practice and procedure ; and intelligent men of all classes—professional as well as non-professional —vied with each other as to which could render the most important services to the good cause. But with all these circumstances so strongly in their favour, there were some drawbacks. They could not be regarded as party measures—there was no powerful section of the Coalitionists pledged to their adoption, and determined to press them forward, "per fas acct nefas." Nay, more, they had been introduced by the law officers of the Crown, under the preceding Government, who would, therefore, be entitled to the credit that would follow their beneficial working. Therefore it is not so very surprising that their Lordships should have chosen to exhibit their obstructive powers on these rather than on the India Bill— that they should have abdicated their legislative functions, where the result might be the irrita tion of Hindostan rather than the pacification and tranquillity of Ireland. In the first of these measures, the alteration to which we last week directed the public attention, was carried into effect. That portion which ex tended to Ireland the operation of the Common Law Procedure Bill, which was ,sppied for Eng land last year, was passed through committee ; while the other, and even more important division of the Bill, which introduced new principles, was dropped on the rather vague intimation that they would be taken into consideration during the re cess, along with the measure framed in accordance with the recommendations of the Common Law Commissioners of England. But even that fate was better than that which attended the three bills which constituted what may be termed the improved landlord and tenant code for Ireland. A strong feeling was manifested by several of their Lordships against the much required amelioration. There was even a disposi tion to reject those propositions which had been the fruits of ten years' labour, and which had been for nine months—since last November— before the House of Commons. It was not until the Premier had given another striking proof of his pacific temperament, in consenting to the withdrawal of all the Bills for the present session, that the malcontents were induced to consent to the compromise (that is the point on which the excellent ABERDEEN shines) of reading the Bill a second time, on the understanding that they were to proceed no further for the time being. We certainly cannot see any great advantage to be derived from the mere fact of the Bills receiving each its second reading. The toadies of " the travelled Thane" will, however, perceive another stroke of his brilliant genius in abandoning the substance, and remaining thoroughly contented in obtaining the shadow. Thus he acted with the CZAR, and thus he now acts with the discontented Peers. The result only proves what might hair° been achieved with the India Bill, if a real oppo sition had been offered. Unfortunately, however, it was suffered to pass with all its anomalies, and we now can only regret the wasted opportunity, and deep injury inflicted on the nation through the gross negligence of their Lordships. DEATH OF THE EARL OF WARWICK.—This venerable and highly esteemed nobleman died at Warwick Castle on Wednesday morning, after a protracted illness. The of a s t u h s p e oelanaulce:iteolonsot deceased peer was in his 75th year, having been born in April, 1779, and succeeded to the family honours in 1816. He married the widow of John George, fifth Lord Monson, daughter of John, second Earl of Mex borough, and by her, who died some years ago, leaves an only son, Lord Brooke, now Earl of Warwick, born in 1818, and married to a daughter of the present Earl of Wemyss. The late earl was a Knight of the Thistle, Lord Lieutenant of the county, and Colonel of the Warwick Militia. A vacancy in the representation of the Southern Division of Warwickshire is occasioned by the elevation of Lord Brooke to the Upper House, as the inheritor of the ancient earldom of Warwick. THE FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLllM.—Yesterday after noon a special general meeting of the governors and subscribers to this valuable charity was held in the board-room of the institution, Westminster-road, for the purpose of altering certain rules, and upon other busi ness ; Mr. C. Evans presided. The report stated that there are in the asylum at the present time 157 children, and that the total number admitted since the commence ment of the institution in 1758 to April 4, 1853, amounted to 2,572. Since the year 1796, 758 young women had returned public thanks, and received five guineas each for having faithfully served their appren ticeships. The total receipts for the past year (including a balance in hand of 1,096 ; life subscriptions and dona tions, 1501. 3s. ; annual subscriptions, 7281. is. ; and d►vidends, 1,0961. Os. 9d.) amounted to 6,4721. 2s. 10d.; and after all the necessary expenses had been defrayed, and the purchase of stock to the extent of 1,8501. effected, there left in the hands of the treasurer the sum of 432/. 3s. 4d.

'MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 Ame rican were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame, but closed steadily. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 350 Perham and Maranham at 6id. to 7/d., 900 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., and 500 Surat at 3id. to 41d. per lb. In Railway shares a good business was done at im proved prices. In the produce markets there is some dullness this week, the supply of goods offered being suffi cient for the demand, however, and therefore pre venting an advance in prices. The settlement of the Eastern dispute has its effect more particularly upon tallow and other articles mainly obtained from Russia. Sugar will perhaps not be so largely in demand for the Baltic ports, as the supply can now go on in the usual course without fear of blockades or interruption. Tea has been dull, cotton con tinues steady, and ride is not supported, owing to the decline in grain. The letters from the Continent refer in terms of high satisfaction to the arrangement of the Eastern dispute, and we may now expec t t o see business operations resumed with greater confidence. There were many departments that languished sensibly within the last fortnight, and but for the healthy condition of the American and Australian markets, ourselves, as well as the French, would have suffered materially. Referring to the American trade more particularly, it should be remarked that the demand for European manu factures has seldom been so well sustained as during the present year. The vast addition to the popula tion arisug from immigration, the ample supply of the precious metal from California, and the pro ductive harvests, have widened the circle of consu mers, andadded to the means of the humblest, while a comparative absence of speculation places the American trade upon a basis far sounder than in former periods of so-called " prosperity," but which, with much that was real, combined more that was artificial. The screw steamer Lady Jocelyn left Point de Galle on the 26th June, and is expected here on the 30th or 31st inst. In English Securities there is very little doing, the payment of differences just occupying the attention of the jobbers, many of whom are pre paring to leave town ; consequently a "dull time" may be anticipated, unless the public, who by the Eastern complication have been deterred from buy ing, have not otherwise invested their surpluses, and buy to any extent. There is no large supply of stock on the market ; and, despite the readier means existing for employing money in mercantile and industrial channels, it is by no means certain that discounts will yet become dearer. A large quantity of foreign grain has already been paid for, and the superb harvest weather alleviates the apprehensions so generally felt, and, as usual, so interestedly stimulated. With the preservation of peace, how ever, there will naturally be a re newal of the attempt to introduce foreign loans and schemes, and as long as premiums can be had there are always parties ready to subscribe. As to the capitalists, who take the initiative, they turn these matters to good account, whoever may suffer. Still there is not the same opportunity of pressing forward crude projects when money can command a fair price, as when it is a mere drug, and in this sense it will be absolutely beneficial if discounts are maintained and trade continues sufficiently brisk and remunerative to offer some counter at traction. Consols have been very firm at 98i 1. During the account now brought to a close, they have alternated from 981 to 96, having been highest from the 21st to the 25th July, and lowest on the Oil inst. The New 3/ per Cents. have been done at 1011 to 0, and the 3 per Cents. at 98 to 99. Bank Stock has been supported at 2281. Exche quer Bills are Is. to 3s. discount, and India Bonds 17s. to 18s. prem. In Foreign Securities the trausactions have been limited. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 474, and the Deferred 231. Mexican Bonds have been very firm at 26! and Peruvian at 801. The latter of these securities having been perseveringly" beared" for a long time past, with an absolute scarcity of stock and the fact of money being in hand sufficient for two or three dividends, and one of 2i per cent. payable in a fortnight, will probably at tract the attention of capitalists. The bugbear of a war with Bolivia being looked upon with the greatest indifference by those best acquainted with all the circumstances, and well aware that the Re public can make no effectual resistance, and will probably force its own unpopular and obstinate Pre sident to resign. Brazilian Old Bonds have been quoted 101 k. Dutch 2 per Cents. have been 641 and Russian 3 per Cents. 117/. In the English Railway Shares there is very little doing, and they scarcely maintain the highest prices of yeterday. Sambre and Meuse are higher. Gold Mine Shares are neglected, and Nouveau Monde and Agua Fria are lower. The Australian Bank Shares are dull, and the Land Companies steady. Netherlands Land have improved.

SMOKE NUISANCE.—We are happy to find that the example of the enterprising owners of the Genova, now on her return from the Mediterranean, has not been lost on the steam-vessel constituency of the port of Liver pool. The Lord Morpeth, whose furnaces are fitted ac cording to Mr. Lee Stevens's system, now exhibits a striking and pleasant contrast with the other Woodside ferry boats, and with all other steamers that contribute to the smoke desecration of the Mersey. No wonder, then, that an invention so inexpensive of construction, simple, effective, and economising of fuel, should be ex tensively patronised in the metropolis, and wherever else its merits have been practically made known. — Liverpool Chronicle. POST-OFFICE RECEIVING-HOUSES.—Yesterday a return was printed showing that in London there are 374 re ceiving -houses, and the number of collections daily from each receiving-house is stated to be from 2to 11. The proportion of the population to each receiving-house is 6,316. The number of offices at which money-order business can be transacted is 61, and the proportion of the population to each is 38,725. The number of deli veries daily is from 3 to 10. Similar information is given as to other places. In Dublin there are 30 re ceiving-houses ; in Edinburgh, 24 ; in Glasgow, 10 ; in Liverpool, 36 ; in Manchester, 43 ; and in Birming ham, 16. DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.—At three o'clock yesterday afternoon this gigantic steamer quitted the Mersey for Australia, carrying the mails, 364 passen gers, and 600 tons of cargo, which it seems is now more profitable than "fares." She is still under the com mand of Captain Mathews, and has a crew of 140 men. From the alteretions in her rig and the improvements in the screw, it is anticipated that she will make an ex ceedingly rapid voyage. Indeed so confident are the owners of this, that they have engaged to return 2/. on the 81. per ton charged for freight if the voyage exceeds sixty-five days. The Great Britain was accom panied to the rock by several steam-boats. Crowds of spectators witnessed her departure, and cheered her as she steamed along the river, while salutes of cannon were given on all sides. EXPLOSION AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, BRISTOL. —Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon,. shortly before one o'clock, a very serious explosion occurred at the Zoolo gical Gardens, Clifton, Bristol, which, however, was unattended with loss of life. It appears that prepara tions were making for a grand gala on Monday next, for the benefit of Mr. Gyngell, the celebrated pyrotechnist, who has a shed in the gardens, near the bear pit, for the manufacture of fireworks. At the time of the accident some of the parties in his employment were engaged in ramming the composition into the rocket cases, when, from some unknown cause, the materials ignited, and a terrific explosion ensued, by which the whole of the shed was blown into the air, and the fireworks that had been already made were destroyed. Two of the workmen were seriously injured, and one of them so severely that he had to be at once conveyed to the Bristol Infirmary. Hopes are, however, entertained of his recovery. LATEST FOREIGN NEW,' FRANCE. The Paris journals give from the English papers a full report of the conversation in the English Parliament, on Monday, relative to the Eastern question. Some of them find a sort of contradic tion in the explanations given by Lords Clarendon and Russell to the news in the Moniteur. The Constitutionnel, however, gives details, which ap pear to remove all doubts on the subject. The Emperor on Wednesday received at St. Cloud the Cheik-el-Arab Bou-Aziz-ben-Ganah,. Khalifa of the wandering tribes of the province of Constantina, who has come to Paris, accompanied by one of his sons, and two other Kaids to be pre sent at the fete of the 15th. He brought with him as a present to the Emperor two Arabian horses richly caparisoned, a large male ostrich, a large carpet manufactured in the Desert, and other valuable articles of native industry. The Em peror, on the favourable report made to him of this Arab Chief by the Minister of War, conferred on him the cross of Commander of the Legion of Honour, as an encouragement for him to continue in his devotedness to France. On receiving this distinction, the Arab Cheik replied : " Our Lord and Master, this high mark of distinction which I now receive, is a bond which attaches me more closely than ever to the service of France, with my children and all my relations until our last breath, When I entered your Palace, one of your Marshals, Marshal Vaillaire, who had seen me in Constantine in 1838, re minded me then that my beard was then black. It is, in the service of France, that it has become white. The past, 0 Lord and Master, therefore answers for the future." The Emperor invited the Cheik and his son to he present at the review on Sunday, and placed at their disposal the richly caparisoned horses which they had presented to him. The Minister of War afterwards presented to his Majesty MM. Delmonti, the proprietors of a quarry of fine transparent marble which they believed to be the onyx with which the Romans made such remarkable works. This kind of marble had not since been found. The specimens which were shown to the Emperor deeply attracted his attention, and will, in fact, prove an additional source of wealth to Algeria. We read in the bioniteur :—" By a decree dated the 7th inst., M. Baze has been authorised. to re turn to France." The Moniteur contains a decree extending the reduction recently made in the price of tobacco to the army, to sailors and marines, when on active service. A young professor of philosophy named Morin, who had, however, lost his situation in consequence of refusing to take the oath, was, says the Siecle, arrested a few days ago at the Hotel Comeißle, and conveyed to the prison Mazas. The market for Public Securities was dull yester day, yet prices for Rentes were steady at the close of business. The Three per Cents. for cash and for the account have advanced, the former 30c. and the latter 35c. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents., how ever, were not so firm, having given way 10c. for cash, and only maintained the previous day's quo tations for the account. No change has taken place in the value of Bank Stock. Closing prices :—For cash—Three per Cents., 80f. 10c. ; Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 104 f. 30c. For the amount — Three per Cents., 80f. 25c. ; Four-and-a-. Half per Cents., 104 f. 40c. ; Bank Stock, 2,835 f.

The ;y closed thus :—Credit Foncier, 740 f. ; and Crediit Mobi liere, 864 f. 50c. The Railway Share-market has been buoyant, and an advance on the previous quotations established in the shares of most lines. Northerns are 10f. higher, Paris and Orleans 2f., Paris and Strasbourg 13f., Paris and Lyons 4f., and Lyons to the Mediterranean 2f. ; Western of France are unchanged, and Paris and Rouen sf.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA. It appears that, though no stipulati. DII was in serted in the Vienna note to the Emperc it of Russia touching the evacuation of the Danubian Principali ties, yet the subject was discussed at two 3onferences held by the Representatives of the Powers at Vienna. It was proposed by either Fra - ace or Eng land, or perhaps by both, that a clans e should be added to the propositions in question demanding the immediate evacuation of the Principalities. This was opposed by Austria, who urged that it would be inopportune and impolitic, under present cir cumstances, to do anything which wo- old be likely to offend the Emperor of Russia, or ho indispose him to a pacific termination of the quesi ion at issue ; that such a demand would show that some doubt was entertained of the complete execi] tion of the promises M. de Nesselrode made in : his circular note, and that such doubts of good . faith might give the offence which they ought to ; avoid ; that no pretext should be given the Empero r to make a reply in the negative, and, in a word, that it was prudent not to have even the appearance of supposing that, by any possibility, the• evacuation would not take place. The represen Latives were convinced by the reasonings of the mediating Power, and did not press the insertion (5F the clause. It was, however, agreed to that the G overnments should send to their respective diplon tatic agents at St. Petersburgh instructions on tl tat specific point, when the moment came to treat , it. These instructions, at least on the part of E ,ngland and France, are of the most positive kind, and will be acted upon without delay, if orders for the evacua tion of the Principalities do not, at c once, follow the formal acceptance of the arrangez nents pro posed. The Austrian Correspondance of Viei ma, of the 7th, confirms the statement of the Emperor of Russia having accepted the proposition E 1 of the con ference of Vienna. It has been stated that the Russia ,n Admiral Schurieff had inspected the mouth of i he Danube with the view to important fortificai ions being erected there. A letter from St. Petera argh, how ever, states that the object of his visit w. as to devise means for improving the navigation, in pursuance of the obligations which the Russian G overnment has entered into on this subject. The same letter states that immediately on the Sultan' s accepting the propositions of Austria for the arras ngement of his differences with Russia, orders will 1 e given for the evacuation of the Principalities.

A letter from Madrid, of the Bth received by express, states that the Gazette conta ins a Royal decree, ratifying the concessions of railways already made. M. Salamanca had left for Pari s. The Madrid journals of the 6th conta in no news; but a letter says :—" In the Council , DI F Ministers which was held yesterday at La Granjt ~ the draft of the resolution approving of the cox tcessions of railways was read. M. de Egant made some very just observations, to which his collea gr Les acceded, and the wording of the document c onsequently underwent a slight modification. In. the Council held in the evening, under the presitdency of the Queen, the Ministers declared to her 11 lajesty that they were entirely agreed as to the resolution rela tive to railways ; but that there not having been time to make a fair copy of the docrtn lent, it could only be presented to her Majesty to sign the next day. Thus this great affair may be considered as terminated." 50 20 50 25 St. 10 St. St. [OO St. 6 25 St 20 16f St. 19i 14 20 20 50 20 ITALY. A letter from Florence, of the 2cT,.., in the Opia ione of Turin, states that another poll ical trial of nine persons, charged with being age; xti ; of Mazzini, and with having got up a clanesti L m newspaper, has taken place there. The court mind emued them all to 40 months' imprisonment with labour at Volterra. The Milan Gazette contains a not ifica,tion, dated Monza, sth inst., and si gne d b y M a ra h a l. Radetzky, forbidding the exportation of corn and flour from the Lombardo-Venetian territory. The Venice Gazette, of the 4th, publishes a sen tence pronounced on the 27th ult . by the Court martial of Treviso, condemning a nx ibleman, named Antonio Rinaldi, to one month's arrest, and a notary, named Antonio Fontana, fi n- five weeks of the same punishment, the former fa r having drawn up, and the latter for having attest ed, a protest of costs and damages for the sequest c ation of the pro perty of Oniga Rinaldi, an exiled, nobleman, a re lative to M. Antonio Rinaldi. BOLIVIA.—From Bolivia the dat s are to the 3d of June, at which period there was no prosp ec t o f an amicable adjustment with Peru. 'The Peruvia ns h a d blockaded Cobija, the only Bolivian port, and all com munication with the interior was nes ,rly cut off. Presi dent Belzu, however, was said to be raisin g l arge b o di es of troops. Bolivia, it is remarked i] a these communica tions, has hitherto beaten Peru, but,. owing to Belzu not being popular, the prospects are z tow thought to be different. VALPARAISO.—The accounts fror a Valparaiso, to the 15th of June, mention that the C Ulan Congress was opened on the Ist of that month. A statement of the public income for 1852 showed an excess; of $1,000,000 over the preceding year, by whi eh both the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the period had been met.
