LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1853. The Income Tax pill has finally passed through the House of Commons without alteration or im provement, with all its glaring imperfections and inequalities. The Chancellor of the Exchequer remained obdurate to the last, and steadily re fused to assent to any change,. however urgently required by justice or expediency. The Right Hon. Gentleman 1 vas perfectly conscious of his strength. He foundl that on this occasion he could afford to despise the voico of public opinion, and he did so, without the slightest feeling of com punction or sympathy for the sufferers under the iniquitous measure to which he lent the sanction of his name. Well, be it so. The Fiscal and Financial Reformen; now know what they have to look forward to—tl hey have seen the scandalous tergiversation of ma ny of their most trusted cham pions—they have soen others in whom they had no reason to have rei )osed confidence faithful to the last, and, when all (a ave honour) Ras lost, entering their earnest protest ; against the atrocious enact ment. These matter s will not be forgotten ; they will sink deeply into• the minds of the betrayed and outraged people, and may possibly be pro ductive of very uneo:pected results when another appeal shall be mad() to the country, and the be trayers have to meet the betrayed on the hustings, and to solicit a renew: al of the confidence so grossly and so unwarrantably violated. Were it not for the grave and melancholy im portance of the subjoot, it would be an amusing task to rip up and expose the frivolous pretexts by which the dereliction of duty, evidenced in the unexplained absence, or the direct and unblush i.:g abandonment of principle was attempte'd— e shall not say to be: vindicated, for that was im possible, but to be ro duced in amount. One had confidence in the me n, and was ready to endorse any propositions , hot fever unreasonable—to vote black white or(ler to retain the services Ac. i of the Joint-Stock ministration, l es t an y Mem ber of the C a bi net a b. e ll xi d li r disgusted at a serv il e submission not being a an insuperable obstaol'e in the ' and should pl ace e v ance in office of " Ale th e Tai:taY . , of the c on ti nu - mired some other p Another ad es ' rtion of the Budg t o proposition about to e brought forward, so exremede ingly, that he was willing to purchase its at any r:ce, howeveT exorbitant. While the old Tory clique, who saw that Mr.a L —Anszois tE was pl a ying their game, and giving advantage„ to " the own.:rs of accumulated and realised pro perty," which could mot be anticipated from Mr. I ►wilted themselves from the D I SRAEI I, quietly an) di scuss ions and divisi:ons, re ady to take advantage when a suitable opp ortuni.y s h o uld arise, of the disgust and inclignt ition excited in the public mind, at the outrag bons injustice perpetrated at the instance of the Coalition Mini str y under the Legislative sanction. Through the negligeL ) and apathy of some, the deliberate withdrawal of others, and the shameless abandonment of principle, by more, this unjust and impolitic measure has received its third reading, and been pissed by the House of Commons. It is a melancholy task to direct particular attention to the proceedings. First, there was a protest by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel the 1 , Member for Oxfordshire, at a supposed injustice perpetrated on a humble, but large, body of men, which was easily shown to be altogether founded on a misapprehension, and to have no foundation whatever in fact. There are such things as " fighting a cross" in politics as well as in pugilism, and the bringing forward unjustifi able complaints has sometimes the effect of pre venting other matters with a better foundation from being submitted for consideration. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose then stated his reasons for abandoning the at tempt even to improve in any degree, however trivial, the measure, which he permitted to pass without alteration or amendment of any kind. The Hon. Gentleman professed his con tinued attachment to the cause of Fiscal Reform, his belief that "no tax on incomes could be a just one, and that a tax upon property only was the proper mode of raising the necessary revenue." But he was so deeply enamoured of the tax on successions that he could not criticise any propo sition made to the Financial Minister who brought it forward, and, therefore, he gave his unquali fied adhesion to the Bill, the monstrous injustice of which he had so frequently and so powerfully denounced. The third reading was subsequently carried by a majority of 134, there being only found 55 Members to record their votes against it. Some clauses brought forward by Sir Firz- ROY KELLY, for the purpose of giving relief to the earners of small industrial incomes, were, although just and equitable in themselves, negatived by almost equally decisive majorities, and the Bill finally passed the Commons, and vir tually became the law of the land almost by acclamation. Such proceedings require no comment. We may, however, remark, that although the tax has been granted for seven years, it is still open to the consideration and revision of Parliament at any time. And we trust and believe that an agitation will be commenced—an opposition or ganised that will enforce a recongderation of the subject before two years of the ten have elapsed. If justice cannot be obtained from the present House of Commons, it may from the new Parlia ment, the Members whereof will have to give expression on the hustings to their views of Fiscal Reform. It has been asserted that Sir CHARLES WOOD'S measure for the future Government of India is, practically, neither more nor less than a continu ance Bill, which may be altered or amended, at any time, as the exigencies of the case may re quire. That no pledge is given for any fixed or determinate period, and that, consequently, the moment the necessary information has been ob tained—that the solution of the important pro blem—as to the form of Government best calcu lated to promote the welfare and happiness of One Hundred aid fifty millions of human beings ; and also to advance the interests of the United Kingdom—has been accomplished—when in fact the matter is ripe for Permanent Legislation—it will be competent either for the Government of the day, or for any independent member to bring forward propositions by means whereof the great desideratum may be achieved. In support of these views, the statements of Sir CHARLES WOOD in the House of Commons, and also in his explanatory letter to Mr. RTJSSELL ELLICE and MAJOR OLIPHANT, have been referred to. In the latter lie says—" We do not propose any fixed. term for the duration of this form of Government, as we think it advisable that it should be open at any time to the consideration and revision of Parliament." From these premises, then, it is argued, that the earnest request of the native population has been substantially granted, and that there is no just ground of complaint as to the apparent perma nency of the measure. We cannot concur in these conclusions. On the contrary, we feel bound to record our earnest dissent, and to emphatically warn all the friends of India—all those desirous of opposing the most monstrous job attempted for many years—against being deceived or led astray by these plausible fallacies. The matter must of course remain open to the consideration and revision of Parliament at any time. The East India Company is not now in a position to make a bargain, or stipulate for conditions. Nothing is better settled than that there must be two parties to a contract, in order that it should be binding. There should be some valuable consideration proceeding from both sides. Without that, it would be what in law is denominated a nudum pactum, and, as such, absolutely and entirely void ab initio. Now, the Company pos sesses no claim of any kind on the British nation ; it has nothing to give up ; no privileges to sur render, which could be made the groundwork of a valid and binding agreement. There is no doubt that it formerly possessed such privileges ; that it was entitled to a monopoly, and one of a very profitable character, the value of which might be estimated in some degree by any middle-aged housekeeper who some thirty years since was accustomed to pay from Bs. to 12s. per pound for tea far inferior to that which can now be obtained for from 4s. to 55., and yet we can remember the harrowing predictions, the gloomy anticipations, that were uttered as to the more than probable results of the destructive and unconstitutional project of throwing open the Chinese ports to British merchants. The teas were to be poisoned, and robberies and villanies of the most atrocious description perpetrated daily, if we consented to receive our teas through any channels but those provided by the Leviathan of Leadenhall-street. These gloomy vaticinations were, however, disregarded. The Government and the Parliament determined that, to a certain extent at least, there should be " Free-Trade " with China, and that every per sonal restriction should be forthwith abolished, and there has certainly been no reason to regret the decision then arrived at. But the goodwill of the parties was purchased at a tolerably high figure. The Proprietors had certainly no reason to complain of the liberality of JOHN BULL. Not only was it agreed that, for every one hundred pounds of capital stock em barked in the concern, they should receive an an nuity of £lO 10s. per annum, guaranteed not to be redeemed or tampered with for forty years, and then only to be redeemed on payment of £2OO for every £lOO stock ; but, in addition, by far the greater part of the entire Indian patronage was haided over to the Directors, and therefore practically to the Proprietors for twenty years, which term will expire in 1854. It is impossible to estimate the value of ' that patronage, or as to the mode of its exercise in India. But we can form some estimate 'as to its value in this country. We know that there are about two hundred and twenty infantry, and about 30 cavalry cadetships, 30 writerships, and 50 medical appointments an nually disposed of ; and, estimating an infantry cadetship at 1,0001. (it was proved to have been sold for 1,0501. in a certain trial, to which it is unnecessary at present more particularly to refer), the cavalry at 1,5001., writerships at 4,000/. (far below their actual value), and the medical appoint ments at the same as the infantry cadetships-10001. each—we shall find that the patronage thus deli vered was worth no less than 435,0001. per an num, which, for the twenty years, was, without charging interest, worth 8,700,0001. sterling, or 2,700,0001. more than the entire capital stock of the Company. And here we may remark that, although the writerships and medical appoint ents are, a ccor di ng to Sir CHARLES WOOD'S pro position, t o b e thrown open to public competition, - the military appointments, cavalry and infantry, are still in co remain with -the Directors, who, use grience of their diminished numbers, will have the t We have alluded to - 30 parts, now distributediar°na" formerly divisible into among 18 persons. that, although the arrangementse matters to show excitementenctoered into in Bill) could n n o s t e 1833 (shortly after the consequent on the passing of the Reforica have been disturbed, there is nothing analogous 1 thereto at the present crisis, and that Sir CHARLES WOOD could not have even proposed, much less carried, any proposition which should not, at any time, have been open to the consideration and revision of Parliament ; and he is, therefore, en titled to no particle of credit for the resolution which he has just put forward'with such pompous pretension. But the present legislation for an indefinite period is calculated .to disperse the reasonable hopes of the inhabitants of British India. Their earnest request, their most ardent desire is, for " public inquiry and discussion in the Imperial Parliament ; " that, as we have already ' stated, any system of Government, what ever it may be, should be open to alteration and improvement, from time to time, as the well being of the country may require. That periodi cal discussion would afford the opportunity to the people of setting forth their grievances, under cir cumstances that would afford the most auspicious prospects of at least receiving attentive hearings, if not of achieving their objects and obtaining the anxiously-looked-for redress. It would also sti mulate the local Government and the subordinate officers to the more diligent and efficient discharge of their duties, and thus be productive of the most beneficial results. But Sir CHARLES WOOD'S mea sure would not only deprive them of these unques tionable advantages, but would create a direct in terest in a powerful body, armed with great patro nage, and a corresponding amount of influence, in retarding and procrastinating the enquiries, and preventing any distinct or definite conclusion from being arrived at. Can any person for a mo ment suppose that we should have had even the pre sent infinitesimal improvements offered were it not for the rapidly-approachingtermination of the Char ter ? Most certainly not. The question would have been, if not consigned to the "tomb of the CAPIJLETS," at least most unceremoniously shelved until a more convenient season, which might never arrive. Once more, then, we entreat every inde pendent Member to resist above all things the in definite duration of the measure, and to insist that any legislation on the subject, with the present defective information, should be only for two, or, at the outside, for three years from the termination of the Charter. There is no reason why any of the suggested improvementi might not be carried into practical operation even for that limited period. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom panied by the youthful Royal family, are expected to leave Buckingham Palace this afternoon for Windsor Castle, where her Majesty will dispense the regal hospitalities during the Ascot races to a royal and distinguished circle. The Queen on Thursday, the Cup day, will, with . her visitors, honour the course with her pres ence, attended by the Earl of Besborough, as Master of the Stag-hounds, and the usual royal retinue. THE KING OF HANOVER.—The Hanoverian Legation in Grosvenor-place is in a state of preparation to receive King George of Hanover and his Consort, who are on the eve of leaving Hanover for London. A suite of English coachmen, grooms, &c., have been engaged for his Hanoverian ajesty during his sojourn in England. The King has one son, the youthful Crown Prince, after whom the Duke of ambridge is in remainder to the throne. In the Act of Parliament, however, granting , an annuity of 12,0007. per annum to his Royal High ness, is a clause specifying that the income shall cease in the event of the Duke becoming a foreign Sovereign. • OLD SOUTH SEA ANNUITIES. —Some considerable purchases have been made at par of the Old South Sea Annuities by the parties who have sent in ExcheqUer bills for payment. These annuities will be paid off in April, 1854, but will meanwhile carry three per cent. interest from the sth of April last, so that, for the pur poses of a temporary investment, the exchange has been a very safe and favourable one. AUSTRALIAN EMIG 'ATION.—Tho departures from the port of London for. the Australian colonies during the past week show no remarkable variation, and the vessels, with few exceptions, have been of the larger class. They have comprised six to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 2,966 tonnage ; four to Sydney, with an agg regate burden of 2,269' tonnage ; three to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 978 tonnage ; one to Swan River of 384 tons ; and one to Launceston of 388 tons. Their total capacity was 6,235 tons. The shipments of manufactu,e,...s and ordinary descriptions of merchandise have been large, but the rates of freight exhibit a ten dency to decline. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODI'CE MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter dam produce markets state that business was rather limited, and that no essential cliege had,occurred in prices. The demand for coffee was principally.' confined to home consumption, and rates were fairly supported. Sugar, raw and refined, was, on the average, steady, although in some few cases lower prices had been ac cepted. In rice the transactions had not been active, but the late advices had been well maintained. Indigo was firm at previous quotations, and no important alte ration had occurred in tett. SUICIDE FROM A HOUSETOP. —Yesterday, Mr. Baker 1 1e j,-1 ,an inquest at the Freemasons' Arms, Salmon's-lane, Limeho use, on view of the body of Mr. Reeves Wilson, Proprietor of the Jolly Sailor , Salmon's-lane. aged 36, , P Deceased occasionally suffered from delirium tremens. On Saturday forenoon he was in conversation with his wife when lie left her as she thought to go up to his room. In a. few minutes she was alarmed by hearing that he had goi on the top of an adjoining house, from which he had tahlext a leap and jumped into the street. He was taken up in a state of insensibility and conveyed into his own house, wh he was promptly attended by a medical gentleman. lie died the following day. Ver dict, " Temporary insani.V." ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE ClTY.—Considerable ex citement has been created in the neighbourhood of New gate-market in consequence of a desperate attempt on the life of Mrs. Marianne Kipp lanv:ng been made last night by Ann Mack, a servant in the employ of Mr. Pike, book clasp maker, carrying on business at No. 8, Oxford Arms-passage, Warwick-lane. It appears that the wounded woman's husband works at Mr. Pike's; and she having conceived a jealous feeling against the maid servant, went a few evenings since and abused her most shamefully, promising to call again on Monda(last) evening. This preyed very much up on the girl's' (Mack) spirits, and she purchased a razor during the day, for the purpose it is believed of committing suicide, as she appeared in a very excited state. At half-past nine o'clock Mrs. Kipp again made her appearance, and commenced a tirade of scurrilous language. Anne Mack, who had the razor in her hand, unable to brook such abuse, rushed at her, and inflicted some scrims wounds on the neck and breast. The screams of Mrs. Kipp brought assistance and she was conveyed to Bar tholomew's Hospital, and her assailant was taken into custody, and will undergo an examination to-day before a magistrate. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WOOLWICH TER4INU6 OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Sunday night two accidents, one of them fatal, occurred at the Wool wich terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, which took place in consequence of the want of caution of those who are the sufferers. The following are the circumstances of each case :—The . first occurred to a male person of respectable appearance, who arrived shortly after ten o'clock in a steamer from Woolwich, to go by the up-train to London. Before the vessel reached the pier, he and another passenger leaped off, when they unfoi Lunately fell into the river. Captain Rose, the commander, immediately had ropes flung out, and used other means to save them. One was recovered, but the other india :dual, owing to the force of the current was carried away and was drowned. The body was not found at a late hour. The other accident occurred to a female, about twenty minutes afterwards, and who was a passenger by the down-train ;on its arrival at the terminus, but before it was stopped, she attempted to get out. Her foot unfortunately missed the platform, when she fell on the line. The driver was looking back at the time, and saw her disappear. He, with great exertion, put on the break, and stopped the train before any of the carriages went over her. She was removed from her perilous position, and instantly brought back to the terminus at Shoreditch, when she was placed in a cab and taken to the London Hospital. She was there found to be seriously injured, but there were hopes of her recovery. Both the man and woman wore unknown. CRIME IN NEW YORK AND IN LONDON.—The num ber of arrests last year were 40,000, in a population of say 300,000, giving a per tentage of 6 6 on the whole nu mber of inhabita nts. In London b the returns of the metropolitan police, for 1850, show 70,827 arrests, out of a population of two millions and a half, giving a per tentage of less than three on the whole number of . inhabitants. Thus crimes are in New York rather more than twice as frequent as in London. Indeed, if we make proper allowance for the superior vigilance and proportion to the population, organization of the metropolitan police of London, and for the noon in.efficiency of our own police force, we theresball p is ro tn ba N bl e y w fi York tth, i ri n ce as much crime as in Lon don.—Neie York Herat4.

Ariosto Ephesus The opening of this theatre, last night, was accom panied by a couple of novelties, one a five act romantic drama, and the other a choreographic and musical enter tainment for the introduction of the corps de ballet, which, as we stated yesterday, is to be the chief strength of the company this season. Of the drama, St. Marc, there is not much to say—its plot is rather complicated, but it treats mainly of the unsuccessful efforts of a libertine to obtain possession of the virtuous wife of one of his followers, which are at length sum marily put a stop to by his assassination at the hands of a religious fanatic, whom he has injured in some way not clearly made out. The interest is well sustained throughout, and the dialogue in many parts forcible and elevated. It was well acted, Miss Vining and Mr. Daven port taking the principal parts—the husband and wife. The ballet, The Spirit of the Valley, was very successful. The corps is one of the best we have seen for some time, and executed the various complicated manoeuvres of the piece with wonderful precision. Mdlle. Rlunkett has several very clever pas in the piece ; one of them —q El Zapateado " —Spanish, we suppose, by the name—she danced with a vigour and expressive grace which was loudly ap plauded. M. St. Leon, besides his dancing, played several airs on the violin with great taste. We should mention that one of the parts which he fills in the piece was that of an old village fiddler, which gave considerable scope for the display of his pantomimic powers. Miss Julia Harland also appeared in the piece, and, greatly contributed to its success by the manner in which she sung several pretty songs intrusted to her. The house was tolerably well attended. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. —On Saturday evening a dramatic version from that , master-mind of domestic truths and powerful conception, Dickens's "Bleak House," was produced here with good effect, both in development of the characters and scenic display. All the artistes exerted themselves to the utmost, and were deservedly successful, more particularly the poor crossing-sweeper, Joe, personated by Mr. Searle. Mr. Travers, Mr. Saville, and the wretched and neglected Howdon, by Mr. Frampton Johnston, showed their artistic conception in the characters entrusted to them ; and though last, not least deserving, th e wily lawyer Tulkinghorn, personated by Worrell (although not quite old enough, according to our con ception of the author's intention), was admirably im pressive, and truthfully crafty and lawyer-like. Mrs. Campbell arid Miss Eliza Clayton were very good. The house was crowded, and the drama decidedly successful. EXTENSION OF THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—Yes terday a communication was received at Lloyd's from the Danish Consulate, announcing that the submarine electric telegraph cable had been successfully laid down across the Great and Little Belts. This line of telegraph in connection with the Dutch line of telegraph and the submarine cable, extending from Orfordness to Holland, opens up the electric communication between London and Copenhagen. ODESSA.—From Odessa the mercantile letters reach to the 27th of May. For some days after the return of Prince Menschikoff there had been general consterna tion and an entire suspension of business, but the feeling of alarm was now partially subsiding, and some trans actions had taken place in wheat at about 235. per quarter, free on board, the price a fortnight or three weeks previously having been 265. to 275. Freights were enormously high, and'Bo3. per ton had been given for tallow,—the conclusion being, that in the present state of uncertainty of no disengaged ships are likely to visit the Black Sea, aril. hence, that this important Russian port must for a long, time pay a penalty for the Emperor's proceedings. The . price of ships continues to 'mount rapidly up wards. Vessels of a class which only a few months ago would have been a drug in the market, are now eagerly sought after ; every description of tonnage is at present in great deinantl.—Newcastie Journal.

WOoLwicil, JUNE 6.—Captain Taylor's troop of Royal Horse Artillery left Canterbury this morning on their march to Woolwich, and will arrive here on Thursday. Captain Richard Blackwood Price's field battery have received orders to march to-morrow for Thorncliff, via Ashford, Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells, Grinstead, and Reigate, where they will halt during Sunday, and thence to Leatherhead, and into the camp on the 14th. The field-battery will be of the following strength :-94 horses, 4 9-pounder guns, 2 24=pounder howitzers, 26 tents, 1 forge, 1 store cart, 1 baggage cart, 2 captains, 3 lieutenants, 1 assistant-surgeon, 5 serjeants, 5 'corporals, 5 bombardiers, 1 farrier, 2 shoeing-smiths, 2 collar-makers, 1 wheeler, 2 trumpeters, and 130 gunners and drivers, making a total of 159 officers and men. The officers' names are Captain Richard Blackwood Price, command-. ing ; Second Captain J. R. Gibbon ; Lieutenants Miller, Seale, and Tedcroft ; and Assistant-surgeon W. Perry. The barracks at Thorncliff will be temporarily occupied by a detachment of Royal Artillery, consisting of 1 lieu tenant, 1 serjeant, 4 non-commissioned officers, and 14 gunners, of Captain Swinton's company, from Dover. Each subdivision of Captain Blackwood Price's field-bat tery carries 4 tents, and. the two flank guns 5 tents each ; 2 for the men of each gun, 1 for the harness, the remainder for officers, staff-serjeant, and guard. Each gun carries 268 rounds of blank cartridge, 100 port-fires, and 300 tubes. The gunners are to march on foot and carry their knapsacks ; a system it would be advisable to alter, so far as to allow of the knapsacks being carried on the limbers. The weight is considerable ; and, in addition, Nos. 1 and 2 are buckled up with a pouch, a sword and belt, a haversack, and wooden bottle, and also a carabine. It must be evident that after a march an artilleryman, with all these incumbrances, cannot fail to be very tired on going into action, and not in a very fit condition to rattle a trail about, or to make a very good shot. Their appendages, and the weights they have to carry, will now be thoroughly investigated at the camp, and changes take place for the better. The following circular has been issued to the regiments under order to, encamp on Chobham Common : " Horse Guards, May 31, 1853. "Sir,—l have the honour to informyouthat it is intended shall encamp on Chobham Common on the 14th June. • The camp equipment, with the exception of the canteens, haversacks, and blankets, which the regi ment will draw at its present station immediately, will have been previously delivered to the detachment sent on agreeably to my communication of this date. The regiment will draw its rations from the commissariat from the day of its arrival in camp, and will cook on the ground. A re turn will be forwarded to this department with the least passible delay of the total strength for which camp equipment will be required, adding the number of women, servants, and soldiers and mounted officers' horses which will camp. Care will be taken that the regulated number of women (six per 100 non commissioned officers and men) be not exceeded. To each field officer one marquee will be allowed ; to every other officer one tent; for regimental guards five per regiment ; for orderly room and stores two tents ; for the mess two large marquees ; the hospital one marquee ; be sides eight barrack tables and thirty chairs for the use of the officers' mess. Instructions will be issued as to the form and mode of drawing and accounting for supplies. Mounted officers of infantry will receive their forage in kind. The form of encampment for infantry will be ac cording to that numbered 3 in the Regulations for Encamp ment, dated 11th May, 1853. The regulations provide ra tions of bread and meat to be paid for at cost price, with a free ration of fuel, to ono washwoman for every twenty men, and the women are besides allowed thirty trusses of straw to a company to thatch •their huts. Instructions have been issued to the Commissariat to supply fir poles and branches for roofing.and walling their huts. The Com missariat department have been instructed to provide trans port for 15 tons of baggage for every infantry battalion which moves by railway from the point of its debarkation from the railway to the camp. Towards the defrayment of this expense a charge will be made against the commuted allowance for the regimental baggage. The . cavalry and that portion of the infantry which proceeds by march route will provide their own conveyance in the usual manner. The heavy baggage of regiments must be placed in store at their present station, carefully packed and marked, and in readiness for movement, in the event of• the regiment not returning to its present quarters. "The wives of officers, however, and those of soldiers now residing in barracks, and who do not go into camp, will be permitted to occupy their present quarters in bar racks, and in their case the use of their baggage will of course be admitted. " I have the honour to be, &c., " J. FREETH, Quartermaster-General. " Officer commanding Regiment." THE CHANOELLOI?SIIIP OP OXFORD. OXFORD, MONDAY; Although the inaugurations of former Chancellors have taken place under more brilliant auspices than that of the Earl of Derby, and the line of conduct which has been taken in giving so purely political a complexion to this occasion is not very judicious, still the approach of the ceremonial of to-morrow excites considerable interest, and the venerable streets of this city of colleges and churches wear an aspect of unwonted animation and gaiety. The great event of the day has been the arrival of the Earl of Derby, who entered Oxford at half-past six o'clock, and proceeded to the Vice-Chancellor's resi dence in Worcester College. , The noble earl was accom panied by his countess and his eldest son, Lord Stanley, M.P., and was received in due form by the Rev. Dr. Cotton, provost of Worcester, the Vice-Chancellor for the present year, and several of the heads of houses. The routine of dinners, balls, and festivities does not begin till to-morrow. The University authorities have not yet decided whether any representatives of the press are to be admitted . to the dinner in Worcester College Quadrangle, which takes place at half-past six to-mor row evening, but great apprehensions are entertained that the spirit of exclusiveness will prevail. Two events of considerable importance in themselves, and deriving additional interest from their connection with the grand affair of the time, took place in the neigh bourhood of Oxford to-day. One was the re-opening of the Abbey Church of Dorchester, a village of great an tiquity, situated about eight miles from Oxford, which was the seat of one of the Saxon bishoprics. The church is an edifice of the later Gothic style, without transepts or clerestory, but an interesting specimen of that class of architecture, though not presenting any examples of great finish or elaboration. It has lately been repaired, the stone-work partially restored, and the chancel fitted up with wooden rails and screens of a style in harmony with that of the edifice. The Bishop of Oxford performed service, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Addison, curate of Dorchester, and preached an eloquent discourse from Matthew xviii., 20, " Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there will I be in the midst of them." The other event alluded to was the opening of the diocesan school for training schoolmasters at Cul ham, about three miles distant. The Bishop of Oxford and the Earl of Derby both spoke at considerable length. Oxford is chokefull of strangers, and the price of lodgings has risen, as usual, enormously. Amongst those already arrived, or momentarily expected, are Lord Colchester, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Blandford, the Marquis of Chandos, Mr. Disraeli, M,P., Mr. Walpole, M.P., &c. The Hon. Major Macdonald has just engaged, for his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, until Septem ber next, the beautiful residence belonging to G. E. Tawrey, Esq., Rarewood-lodge, Sunning-hill, whi c h i s three miles istant from the Chobham encampment. Baron Rothschild having engaged the above residence for the Ascot Race week, his Royal Highness will take up his abode there the week following. Loss OF THE NEPTUNE, LONDON AND ST. PETERSBUEGH STEAM-SHIP.—On Saturday were received at Lloyd's the details of the loss of the Neptune, London and St. Petersburgh steam-ship, and the marvellous escape of her passengers and a large amount of bullion which she had on board. She was the property of the St. Petersburgh Steam Navigation Company, of about 700 tons burden, worked by a screw; and, when she met with the disaster, she was pursuing her first homeward voyage, after a thorough refit with new boilers, &c. She was to have sailed from the Thames on the Ist of the month, on a second trip to St. Petersburgh. 'She did not make 'her appearance ; and, on that very day, a telegraphic mes sage was received.by her agents, from Hull, announcing that she had been wrecked on, the shoals known as the Nickman's Grounds, in the Gulf of Finland. By the arrival of the Emperor from the northern capital, confirmatory intelligence of the loss was re ceived. The latter ship was making her way through the gulf on Friday evening, when a large steamer was observed ashore, some distance off. As the Emperor proceeded, a boat was noticed to be making for her, and on her coming up, she was found to be that belonging to the Neptune, and contained Mr. Brownless the master, and some of the passengers and crew.. The mishap which had befallen the Neptune was reported, and the preservation of 22 passengers which she had on board, and specie to the extent of 50,000 imperials. This, however, was effected under very try ing circumstances, as the sea, which was very tempestu ous, made over the wreck, the poor creatures expecting every moment to be washed off. The Emperor was, solicited to stand off during the night, so as to take the passengers off the Neptune, and what could be recovered of her. This was complied with, and the Emperor brought to. After continuing so, however, many hours, and the night becoming most boisterous, and fears being entertained for the safety of the Emperor should she re main off the shoal, it was deemed advisable to run out to sea, and to pursue the voyage to England, which she did. There is little doubt that all on board the Neptune were saved ; but it is also as certain that the ship became a loss, her bottom being driven in, and her hull fast fill ing with water. She was insured for a large amount. The next arrival from St. P e t ers b urg h is expected" to bring the passengers and crew from the wreck. CLYDESDALE ORCHARDS.—The appearance of fruit in the orchards of Clydesdale gives promise this season of large abundance. Since the year 1822 there has been nothing to equal the appearance. Of late years the pro prietors have suffered much by the frosts that set in after the blossom had appeared ; but .from the lateness of the season, no danger has been experienced from this cause.—Plavoto Constitutional. THE FR EiriPlit E. The Emperor received yesterday at a private audience V4ly Eddin Rifaat Pacha, Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Sublime Porte, charged to deliver the reply of the Sultan to the notifi cation of his Majesty's marriage. The semi-official journal, the Pays, contains a long article on the position of France in the Eastern question. It is of importance, as it is meant to convey the expres sion of the Emperor's ideas, and as marking the line of policy which it is proposed to follow. The article bears the signature of Viscount de Laguerroniere, the princi pal editor of the Pays. After criticising with some se verity the conduct of M. Thiers in 1840, the Pays pro ceeds thus : " Our national pride isimuch flattered, no doubt, at hear ing it constantly said that the Mediterranean is a French lake. Unfortunately, the treaties of 1815 have changed into a dream that expression of a great man. In consequence of these treaties the Mediterranean is not, and cannot hence forth be, other than an European and International lake. It is to 'maintain for it that Character that Egypt ought not to be either English or French ; and that Turkey cannot be Russian. Let us speak in good faith ;—could we permit England, for instance, to establish herself in the Balearic Isles to intercept our route to Algeria, which is henceforth united to France by indissoluble bonds ? And could England suffer that by making Egypt French we should take from her the Bay of Suez, which is for her the gate of the Indies ? M. Thiers threw himself rashly into the question of the East in 1840. He could only end in an impossibility. He completely disregarded the interests of France in that question. The Restoration did not commit such a fault ' • and its flag floated at Navarino side by side with that of Russia and of England. The independence of Greece was won and settled by Europe. It was also the whole of Europe which intervened to:settle the interests at stake between Egypt and Turkey. The day , that the Eastern question loses this European character the peace of the world would be disturbed for a long time ; let this be believed ; and it is not France that would have to suffer from that attack on the equilibrium of Europe, for she is perhaps the most disinterested of all in the question of the East. There are three Powers who have a vital interest in the East—Russia, England, and Austria. For Russia it is the interest of her religious ideas, which points out to her the attainment of a political sovereignty where she has the pretension to exercise a sovereignty of dogma and of faith. For Austria it is the interest of her security and of her de fence on the Danube against the immense weight of the Empire of Russia, which already presses on her. For Eng land it is the interest of the freedom and security of her communications with India, where she has immense pos sessions, which are the source of her prosperity, and the absolute condition of her rank as a power of the first order. But France has only the interest of all—that is to say, the balance of Europe and the freedom of the seas. France would not be menaced in her vital interests, like England and Austria, were Russia at Constantinople. Her expan sion towards Africa and America would not be less free. It may even be said that sbe would find it a counterpoise to the excess of the maritime force of England, if that force should occasion umbrage to us. France would remain then what she is, and what she will always be, a power of the first order. But that rank, of which she is proud, of which she is jealous, and which she will no more lose for herself than she will take from others, Austria and England would infallibly lose the day that the Ottoman Empire be came the vassal of the Russian Empire. " The Government of Napoleon 111. has not committed the fault of the Government of Louis Philippe. It has not sought in the Eastern question for an occasion of revolu tionary tumult on the drum of propagandism ; it has not isolated France from Europe. No ;it has placed itself with dignity, firmness, and calm in the right of Europe:lt is for that that it negotiates; it is for that that it would fight, if necessary, not alone, but with all, and for all. France ought not to be and cannot be alone in the question of the East. The simple supposition of her isolation is a folly of so monstrous a character that it is impossible to think of it for an instant. France is with England, with Austria, with Prussia ; and she will be also, we hope, with Russia. There exists between the five great Powers, as between them and all the others of Europe, a common in terest, more intimate for some of them, more distant for us, but obligatory for all. If Russia were to disregard that fact through pride or ambition, is it with France alone that she would have to do ? Would France alone take fire for an interest more European than French ? Could she, from the extremity of the west, separated from Russia by Germany, and from Turkey by the Mediter ranean, the Archipelago, and the Dardanelles, have to fire the first shot for a cause which is hers only because it is that of every one? Honour would not command so much precipitation, nor would sound policy recommend it. What she ought to have done, she has done. At the first signal of the complications she sent her fleet, took up a position near the theatre of events, and was ready for every eventuality. But in displaying her flag in face of the Dardanelles, France showed her right to all Europe ; and her right is the right of all—that which she could not defend single-handed without temerity, and which the other Governments could not abandon without weakness, and without relinquishing their proper interest and honour. We cannot imagine a nobler situation for France. We know of none more honourable for her Go vernment, and which more markedly contradicts the senti ments of distrust which had greeted its accession. Napo leon 111. has too much prudence, patriotism, and political genius to play with that terrible word ' war. That word, which is a part of his glory, has not dazzled him. Twice only has has he pronounced it since ho has governed— three years back, as a reparation towards the head of Chris tendom, the illustrious Pius IX., replaced in the chair of St Peter by a French army ; and now, as a precaution against the fear of an encroachment and of a violation of treaties. The foreign policy is sufficiently characterised by this explanation. After having had the honour of saving religion amidst the applause of Europe, ho now defends the right of Europe, respect for treaties, order, peace, and equity. The conqueror who was feared is not he. The people which tremble for its repose is not that which ad joins our frontier. No, he renders impossible any coali tion against France ; and he also renders impossible the partition of another Poland, as well as the conspiracy or the treason of another treaty of Pilnitz ; and he is ready to take his place in the great European coalition, to cause the in tegrity of a people and the inviolability of a right to be respected. Besides, this point must not be lost sight of, that war, not probable but possible, would not resemble in anything what has been hitherto seen. It would not be the frontier uncovered, nor the nationality engaged. The Rhine, that natural barrier, would not be menaced by any enemy : and it is not at our doors that the quarrel will be settled. 'At the utmost, in a distant scene,. France would have to appeal, not to defend herself nor to attack, but to cause treaties to be respected. Such is her armed mission. She would have behind her flag the armies and fleets which could not make default to the cause of the right of all against the ambition of one. War on these conditions would un doubtedly be a misfortune, but it would never be a : peril or a convulsion. Consequently, whether Fr a n ce combats er negotiates, her situation is as glorious as it is strong, for war would only be an act of common ',European defence, land peace a treaty of affiance, the indissolubility of which would have for sanction the permanent interest of all the States." The Moniteur publishes an account of the proceedings of the Governor-General of Algeria against the Kabyles. The Arabs make no resistance, so that there are no killed on either side, but the native villages are burnt without mercy. By a telegraphic 'dispatch, dated the 28th May, the Governor-General announced that " all the tribes have made their submission, furnished hostages, and paid the impost." The market for Government Securities at the Bourse yesterday had been dull, and a decline ultimately took place in the Three per Cents., in the quotation for cash, of 20c. ; and for the term of 15c. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. were, as usual, better supported, and closed with an advance for money of 25c., and of sc. for the end of the month. Bank of France Shares fell 10f. The final quotations were :—For cash,--Three per Cents., 78f. 70c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. For the account—Three per Cents., 78f. 65c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 f. 80c. ; Bank Stock, 2,665 f. Shares of the Mortgage Bank still remain at 800 f. ; a decline of 2f. occurred in those of the Societ4 Mobilibre, which were finally quoted at 825 f. 50c. The Railway Share Market was also affected by the general want of activity in affairs, though, on the whole, that description of public security was tolerably well supported. The most favoured lines yesterday were the Northern and Paris and Lyons—the former of which advanced 55f., and the latter 20f. Orleans shares also improved 5f., and Paris and Rouen, 2f, Closing prices :—Northern, 950 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,065 f. ; Paris and Straibourcr, 902 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 935 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,037f.6 TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 23.—1 t is asserted that Ali Pasha, the Sultan's brother-in-law, is to go on a special mission to St. Petersburgh. The Ottoman fleet commanded by Aohmet Pasha, is concentrated in the Bosphorus. The arrival of the Egyptian contingent, of from 25,000 to 30,000 men, was expected. SCUTARI, IN ALBANIA, MAY 24.—Omer Pasha has issued marching orders to the bulk of his army. Only three battalions will remain in the pashalik. Omer Pasha himself is about to proceed to Monastir. Advices from Constantinople state that a manifesto is about to be published by the Turkish Government, con taining a detailed account of the present state of affairs. It is also reported that after the departure of Prince Menschikoff, a high functionary had been dispatched to St. Petersburgh by the Porte, in order to furnish the Emperor with any explanation required. All the Paris journals of yesterday contain articles upon the Eastern question. The Constitutionnel notices as follows the admissions of the Debats in its article of yesterday on the Eastern question : "The Journal des _Wats has received some fresh infor mation from Constantinople as to the demands of Russia. But this last information has no doubt come by sea, for it is of a quite different character from the news which it declared had come to it by land. This information does not teach us anything new, for it merely confirms what we have not ceased to repeat, namely, that the protectorate claimed by Russia in favour of the Greeks is of quite a different character from the protectorate of France in favour of the Latins. But it is not useless to declare that the Journal des 'Mats, better informed by its letters by sea than by its news by land, is forced to admit that the demands of Prince Menschikoff relate to quite other things than purely religious privileges, and that in reality the rights and immunities which the ambassador of the Czar desired to make the object of a synallagmatical constitute a bond fide civil and administrative juris diction." The Assemblee Nationale expresses a fear that the Emperor of Russia will take offence at the language of some of the English and French journals, which have taken the liberty to remonstrate with, and even to menace him. The Assembles asks what could be done for Turkey if the Emperor Nicholas should think that he is bound by a sense of his dignity to per severe after the defiance that has been thrown out by these journals. ERMANY. The Lloyd of Vienna, which has the reputation of be ing well informed on matters connected with the Aus trian Government, states that the Sardinian Ambas sador, who left Vienna in consequence of the recent differences between the two Cabinets, is about to re sume his post. A letter from Vienna, in the Indepeadance of Brus sels, says :-- "The marriage of th e Duke de Brabant and the Archduchess Maria Henrietta will take place by proxy at Vienna, in August next, it is said, on the 12th; the Duke de Brabant will be represented by the Arc h. duke Albert. The ladies fixed on to accompany the nes' Duchess de Brabant as far as the Belgian frontier, Ar e Countess Clam-Martinitz, as Grand Mistress, and the young Countesses Therese Wrbna and Elis e Festetiesl6 Solna, as Maids of Honour.
