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 fur 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 1,5001. 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 incom Menthes 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 affiance 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 ' slgnated. in Ireland as " the lost heir" (and the extraordinary marks on his wrist, his general by description, and many of the leading features of the case are very similar to those put for ward fictitious " THOMAS SMITH" in his acc the ount h e had strongly lead to the supposi tion)CourtmacheTrirvisited the neighbou r h oo d o f , and had access to documents relating to the B A ND O N him to learn the mar family, which enabled first Earl of BANDON mar r i age of the f a th er o f th e maiden name was "SMYTH."

The alleged de e d s or wills, by Sir HUGH SMY TH, are just such as a bold scoundrel clever in the art of coun terfeiting handwriting, and o ne who had previously ld t c oncocted a similar fraud, wou The Ir make ou ish impost in or order to strengthen his case. to whom we have alluded, succeeded in per suading the sister of the man he pers on ated of his identity, and obtained the testimony o f more than thirty witnesses, who distinctly and posi tively s wore th a t h e was the person he represented himself to be. And this was all accomplished by Humf-su-CHum, or the Tag. 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 of 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 corn ,pletely in accordance with many of our re cently expressed anticipations.

Additional enforcements, it was known well enough, i were in rapid process of organisation. Batteries were being erected, accoutrements were being manufactured, guns were being mounted —some of 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 st ill being steadily followed. up by new advantages—above all, that the so--called " rebels" had emblazo ned u p on their bane ers the symbols of their recently-announced faith in Christianity. Nevertheless, with these most startling accounts we received almost simul tfaneously in England others of a perfectly dif nt complexion, and in all respects. it must b 0 all°wed, quite as extraordinary.

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. The hereditary legislators appear desirous of regaining the position which they bad 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 aut 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 carried 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 fatewas 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 have 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 1 and highly esteemed nobleman died at Warwick Castle on Wednesday morning, after a protracted illness. The 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 Meg 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 ASYLUM.—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, 150/. 3s. ; annual subscriptions, 728 L ls.

CITY, TWO O'CLOC.-Z. 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 1 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 , 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 in arket was tame, but closed steadily. The sales c omprised 5,000 American, 350 Pernam and Karam diam at 61d. to nd., 900 Egyptian at 6d. to 8d" and 500 Surat at 31d. to 41d. per lb. In Railway shares a good business was done at im prove d 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 ventbig 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 rice 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 expect to 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 tionarising from immigration, the ample supply of precious metal f rom California, and the pro ductivethe harvests, have widened the circle of consu mers, and added 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, however, 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 981 1. During the account now brought to a close, they have alternated from 981 to 961, having been highest from the 21st to the 25th July, and lowest on the WI inst. The New 31 per Cf,nts. have been done at 1011 to 8 7 and the 3 per Cents. at 98i 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 Forei g n Securities the transactions have been limited. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 471, and the Deferred 231. Mexican Bonds have been very firm at 261, 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 2t 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 1011. Dutch 21 per Cents. have been 641 1, and Russian 3 per Cents. 117 i. In the English Railway Shares there is very little doing, and they scarcely maintain the highest prices of yesterday. 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. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.

Above 100 men partook of the festivity, and at five o'clock a special train started from the terminus, Shoreditch, which conveyed them to their destination, with Mr. G. Richardson, the su perintendent, and other officials of the company. There was the usual variety of amusements, and a band of music attended in the gardens in the evening. On Sunday the men in the goods department will proceed to Lowe stoft, in a train, where they will dine, the entertainment being provided by Mr. Moseley, the superintendent. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Hon. Colonel De Ros, visited Lindsey-house, Chelsea, on Friday, and inspected Mr. Martin's series of pictures in illustration of the "Last Judgment." 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 Moniteur :--" 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 Corneille, and conveyed to the prison Mazas.

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 paniedl to the rock by several steam - boats.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRU:JAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 185 3. J 1 1 • • ia TURKEY AND RUSSIA. It appears that, though no stipulation was in serted in the Vienna note to the Emperor of Russia touching the evacuation of the Danubian Principali ties, yet the subject was discussed at two conferences 'held by the Representatives of the Powers at Vienna. It was proposed by either France or Eng land, or perhaps by both, that a clause 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 would be likely to offend the Emperor of Russia, or to indispose him to a pacific termination of the question at issue ; that such a demand would show that some doubt was entertained of the complete execution 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 Emperor 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 representatives were convinced by the reasonings of the mediating Power, and did not press the insertion of the clause. It was, however, agreed to that the Governments should send to their respective diplomatic agents at St. Petersburgh instructions on that specific point, when the moment came to treat it. These instructions, at least on the part of England 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 once, follow the formal acceptance of the arrangements pro r posed. The Austrian Correspondance of Vienna, of the 7th, confirms the statement of the Emperor of Russia having accepted the propositions of the con ference of Vienna. It has been stated that the Russian Admiral Schurieff had inspected the mouth of the Danube with the view to important fortifications being erected there. A letter from St. Petersburgh, how ever, states that the object 'of his visit was to devise means for improving the navigation, in pursuance of the obligations which the Russian Government has entered into on this subject. The same letter states that immediately on the Sultan's accepting the propositions of Austria for the arrangement of his differences with Russia, orders will be given for the evacuation of the Principalities. SPAIN. A letter from Madrid, of the Bth inst., received by express, states that the Gazette contains a Royal decree, ratifying the concessions of railways already made. M. Salamanca had left for Paris. The Madrid journals of the 6th contain no news; but a letter says :—" In the Council of Ministers which was held yesterday at La Granja, the draft of the resolution approving of the concessions of railways was read. M. de Egan made some very just observations, to which his colleagues acceded, and the wording of the document consequently underwent a slight modification. In the Council held in the evening, under the presidency of the Queen, the Ministers declared to her Majesty 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 document, it could only be presented to her Majesty to sign the next day. Thus this great affair may be considered as terminated." ITALY. A letter from Florence, of the 2d, in the Opin ione of Turin, states that another political trial of nine persons, charged with being agents of Mazzini, and with havin g got up a clandestine newspaper, has taken place there. The court condemued them all to 40 months' imprisonment with labour at Volterra. The Milan Gazette contains a notification, dated Monza, sth inst., and signed by Marshal 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 nobleman, named Antonio Rinaldi, to one month's arrest, and a notary, named Antonio Fontana, for five weeks of the same punishment, the former for having drawn up, and the latter for having attested, a protest of costs and damages for the sequestration of the pro perty of Oniga Rinaldi, an exiled nobleman, a re lative to M. Antonio Rinaldi. SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS RAILWAYS. Closing Prices this lay. Business done this day. 100 83 !Aberdeen Anabg Nottng. Bost, and Eastn. Junct.. Firming.
