(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales o f co tt on at L i verpool yester d ay were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American Were taken for export and on speculation. The Market closed tamely but firmly. The sales com tPrised 5,000 American, 200 Pesrnam and Maran au; at 61d. to ind , 700 La Guayra, sgd., 400 60. to lid., 200 Bahia, at Rd. to , uv u Surat, at 31d. to 4id., and 30 Sea Island, at 2s. to 3s. 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat, at lower prices. The following statement upon the cotton market i 5 supplied by Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., Liverpool " The accounts from America throughout the past znerith state that the receipts of Cotton into the shipping Ports were rapidly diminishing, and relatively higher Paces ruling, whilst the estimates of the Crop were be mg reduced, w h ich has given increased confidence to olders. The excessive stock of all description which Was a ccumulated here, and at the beginning of the ofMonth exceeded that of the previous year by upwards 850,000 bales, caused the trade to purchase sparingly, nd only for i mme di ate wants, in the expectation that B uell would eventually depress prices ; but it is scarcely Probabl e , that an Iy material declince can t a k e pl ace f or °• present, beyond occasionally slight fl uc t ua ti ons , f or ,S the season advances, and so much Cotton having come torward at so early a period, it is reasonable to suppose our imports willgreatly diminish, and should consumption go on at its presentrate the stock must be considerably re due eu before the end of the year. Already the total sto c k pas been re d uce d from the above to an excess of 1,°8,750 bales ; but it must be borne in mind, that of Inerican alone the stock is now on about a par with l 'iat year, whilst the excess in shipments to Great Britain 'as been reduced to 90,000 bales ; therefore, with a Firieatly increased consumption in the United States and alln continent of Europe, it appears evident we all not receive a larger supply than usual to t hese the requirements of the trade. Under 51,80 ci rcumstances our market has been grads ta? hardening in price, and we advance our quo pers on 'middling' and the better class id. to 3-16 d. 44 in., whilst the lower qualities, which are very dull d Scarcely saleable, remain unchanged. ze"vellelliinneasisntainitiMeda,nchester continues good, and prices but the dull accounts received from Ivielll3raz"B, and the deranged state of affairs in China, prieerns.i,l,itate greatly against any decided improvement in ' Upon th e state of the silk market, Mr. H.

SURREY S.VSSIONS-(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. Henry Pugh, 23, was indicted for stealing a silver inkstand and other :articles from the dwelling house of John Robert Delaposse, at Richmond. From the evidence of Mary Rowland, a servant in the prosecutor's employ, it appears that on Thursday last she found that some pez•son had entered the house while it was being cleaned, :and on going to the drawing-room, facing the lawn, she discovered that several articles had been stolen, among- which was the silver inkstand. In formation was imimediately given to the police, and a pursuit was set on foot, when the prisoner was shortly afterwards appreheLded near the town of Richmond, and on being searched the inkstand was discovered. In defence the prisoner said he found the inkstand on the road near Richmond, and never was near the pro secutor s house. Evidence was gi% e n by the police that he was a very bad character, and the jury found him guilty. The Chairman sAfmtenced him to nine months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. ESCAPE O] AN INCORRIGIBLE ROGUE THROUGH A BAD COMMITMENT Charles Barrett, 45, was brought up, committed by J. Foster, Esq., a county magistrate, on the 23rd of April, to hard labour at Wandsworth until these Quarter Sessions, for being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond at Godalming. The prisoner has been upwards of fifty times in cus tody and punished, and the law gave power to magis trates to send Kim. to hard labour until the Quarter Sessions for the county, when the Court had power to commit him for a very long term. By an error of the magistrate he was committed until the Adjourned Sessions, instead of the Quarter Sessions. On being brought rtp, the Clerk of the Peace said the error was fatal, and the prisoner, however incorrigible, must now be dischare ed. The prisoner, mu'ob. to his surprise, was then dis charged. LORD MAYOR'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CITY PRIVILEGES-JEIFFKINS V. LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAMIVAY COMPANY. This was an inquiry to assess damages, under what is generally known ros Writ of Compensation. In the present case, Sir F. Thesiger, and Mr. Hance appeared for the claimant ; and Mr. Bevil', Q.C., and Mr. Ryland for the company. Mr. Randall, one of the privileged City pleaders; pro tested against counsel being engaged on either side, whilst all the City Pleaders (4) did not hold a brief. The question of throwing the Court open has been mooted, and, to a great extent, been satisfactorily ar ranged ; and solicitors are now free, not only to practise in the Court, but by permission of the Judge, not only to plead in person, but under peculiar circumstances, by their clerks. The presenecase gave rise to the ques tion, but the subsequent one was of equal, if not greater, importance. Mr. Ryland pressing his protest, The Learned Recorder said that the matter of privi lege was in course of settlement, and if Mr. Randall thought it right to waive the question at present, it would prevent discussion now. Mr. Randall sa,ld he did not waive any light, but would, of course, bow to the Court, and let the matter remain open. Sir Frederick Thesiger disavowed any intention to infringe upon any privilege and he was not a ware th a t a writ for compensati on directed to the Sheriff came under the cognisance of the Lord Mayor's Court. His Lordship said that although the writ was directed to the Sheriff, still it was to be tried in the Lord Mayor's Court, which had very important rights in Law and Equity. A verdict m's taken by consent for 1,7001. ANOTHER CASE OF PRIVILEGE. In the next case Mr. Ryland, one of the City pleaders, appeared for the defendant, but the City counsel for the plaintiff did not appear, nor any other City pleader to hold the brief. Mr. Ryland, by courtesy, held over for a time, and his Honour and the jury for a short time, when, getting impatient, it was determined that the case should be proceeded with. Mr. Rogers, clerk to Mr. W. R. Buchanan (one of the solicitors admitted under the new rules for admission'of attorneys), was called upon to take the place of counsel. The case was full of legal technicalities, but of no interest. The case was not concluded at 1 o'clock. ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN. POLLING (THIS DAY.)

GROOM'S TULIP BROW. 692 722 There was yesterday a private view of Mr. Groom's annual exhibition of tulips. They are this season much finer and more regular than they have been for years. The great variety of the colours is surprising, and the propitious weather has favoured them. The grand bed of tulips is under an awning 150 feet in length and 17 feet in breadth, and contains about 2,000 roots. Some of the most esteemed varieties are " Victoria Regina,* " Prince of Wales," " Duke of Norfolk," ." Duchess of Sutherland," "Nonrri Effendi," "Michael Angelo," " Dr. Horner," " Countess of Wilton," and "The Mar quis of Bristol," which is valued at 100 guineas. The public exhibition opens to-day. Among the visitors yesterday were the Duchess of Cambridge, Rev. Lord John Thym e , L or d Cl au d e Hamilton, M.P., Lord Kenyon, Lord Crewe, Lord T en t er d en, L or d S a l toun, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Durham, the Duchess of St. Albans, Earl Crawford and Balcarras, &c.

AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM SHIP COMPANY.— The adjourned meeting of this company took place yesterday, Mr. J. G. Frith in the chair, when a report was presented containing a further correspondence with the Government on the question of the contract, and the preliminary recommendations of the board for taking the sense of the proprietors respecting an arrange merit with the General Screw Company. The Go vernment, it was intimated, adhere to their deter mination of withdrawing the contract, but abstain from enforcing a penalty. The principal topic dis cussed was the future management of the under taking, and the existing prospects of a union with its competitor. A feeling prevailed adverse to a junction with the General Screw Company, particu larly when it transpired that it would Not be unac companied by legal difficulties ; and, as no specified plan was brought forward, the majority refused to pus an affirmative resolution. With regard to the advantages to be derived from an amalgamation, opinions greatly varied, and it was eventually agreed to receive the report of the directors, and to appoint a committee to examine the affairs of the company previously to any final step being adopted. • THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1853 , SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES—No. COCCXXIX. THE DERBY. Out of the one hundred and ninety-seven nominations obtained to this, the principal stake of the year, from twenty-seven to thirty-one will be the number found at 1 the post. The class of horses this year, if anything, are 2 a shade better than usual ; and, if lam not very much out in my calculation, one of the most exciting races ever witnessed on Epsom Downs will be the result. The field will be composed of :—West Australian, Sittingbourne, Orestes, Mayor of Hull, Umbriel, Tal fourd, Jerry Kent, Stone Plover, Rattle, Vandecken, Barbatus, Honeywood, Ninnyhammer, Cheddar, Ratap lan, Peggy, Pharos, Brocket, Filbert, Cineas, oomber land Sthatesmon, Orinoco, Pharold, Ethelbert, and Spread Eagle. These are all pretty certain to run. One of Mr. Clarke's it is supposed will start—Mr. Sykes, or Singapore—and lonic is said to be a runner ; but Contentment, Lascelles, Beverlac, Speed the Plough, and Golden Plover, are on the doubtful list. This last lot, whether they run or no, matters little, as they cannot by any manner of accident win. I will now proceed to a careful digest of the chances of those animals that I have set down as cel:,ain starters. Beginning with John Scott's celebrated lot, it is toler ably evident to me, that Umbriel, although he can stay better than his stable companion West Australian, is not equal to him ; therefore, for the most part, I shall confine my observations to the crack of the lot. Mr. Bowes' b c WEST AUSTRALIAN is possessed of one of the best pedigrees extant, being by Melbourne out of Mowerina (own sister to Cotherstone) by Touchstone, out of Emma, (dam of Mundig) by Whisker, thus being related to two Derby and one St. Leger winners. He was early last year thought to be an uncommonly good thing, and was backed at rather a stoutish price for a good deal of the hard cash ; and, notwithstanding, he was very heavily entered, only ran in two of his en gagements, neither of which performances are any crite rion of his merits. His appearance in the Guineas this year, has caused many diversified opinions, being appa rently quite up to the mark, yet, many aver winning with anything but considerable ease from Sittingbourne who was in a half prepared state. It is my opinion that he could have won by much farther than ho did had it so pleased Butler ; and I believe, as I have all along stated, that whoever may be the winner to-morrow he will be one of his most dangerous antagonists. He will be ridden by Frank Butler. UMBRIEL is a nice compact little horse in capital con dition ; with a list of performances containing nothing particular in them, and the fourth or fifth place he may probably occupy. Sim Templeman will have the mount. THE MAYOR OF HULL requires no consideration what ever, his chance being perfectly desperate. Holmes will be in the pigskin. SITTINGBOURNE, on the strength principally of his exhibition in the Guineas has become a very prominent favourite ; and being a large strided, slashing looking gentleman with a good turn of speed, will finish in front ; but as the absolute winner I cannot for an in stant entertain the notion. Pettit rides. FILBERT, the only hope of Lord Exeter's numerous lot, is doubtless going to run on the forlorn-hope prin ciple, which has at times brought a b ou t some cur i ous results for Lord Exeter. His chance, after the knocking about he has received this spring, must be infinitesimally small, and to the ruck I consign the blue and white stripe on this occasion. Norman will do the needful. NINNYHAMMER, the property of the lucky Captain Lane, has being doing such capital work of late that the stable think his chance as good, or pretty nearly so, as any in the race. I fancy that the bad winter he passed, and the indifferent state he was in two months ago, must tell its tale ; and though I fancy the blood and the shape of the animal amazingly, yet I do not hold any hope of his getting a place. Who is to have the mount is uncertain at present, whether G. E. Sharpe, Bartho lomew, or Whitehouse, althou g h l as t even i ng it was re ported that the last-named individual was the one selected. Pharold, who is only a mile horse, or I am much de ceived, goes to Epsom without much hope of carrying off the laurels. Mann will probably ride him. ETHELBERT is a decidedly superior handicap horse ; and had they reserved bim during the spring, would have made a tolerably good Derby one, but as the case stands I do not expect to see him emerge from the nick. Crickmere will tool him. JERRY KENT, both the Rogers' consider, upon the strength of the line they have got through Ethelbert, one of the very best horses in the race, will, I think, find their calculations rather out, although I expect the animal will run forward, being remarkably well built, and bearing a strong resemblance to his sire. Sam Rogers will, no doubt, do all he can to obtain a victory. STONE PLOVER, own b:• other to Stilton, and from ap pearances no better than his brother, has but a very re mote chance of immortalising his name to-morrow. W. Howlett rides him. CHEDDAR, one of the highest bred horses in the Derby, has suffered off and on for such a length of time from doubtful understandings, that it is scarcely pro bable, notwithstanding the good work he has been doing lately, that he will figure as A 1, or even obtain a place. He will have the talented assistance of Job Marson. RATTLE is a mysterious animal that I have not been able to ascertain much about, but what I have has not been in his favour, The mount, of course, is not known. VANDERDECKEN, the high-bred brother of the Flying Dutchman, last year so completely outgrew himself, as to render it impossible to be properly prepared for this year's Derby. He will be steered by Marlow. PEGGY, own sister to Nancy, is too wiry an animal to compass tlie Derby course successfully against such corn petitors as she will meet with. She is in capital condi tion, and will be ridden by Tommy Lye. TAFounp, own brother to Tadmor, has turned out to be a much better animal than was at first expected ; but as they have fairly run him off his legs, he will be of no use to-morrow. Basham will be his jockey. HONEYWOOD the mysterious ! is almost an imaginary animal, and until he put in an appearance at Epsom was cried down by nearly every one not of Osborne's party. The horse, though not quite such an indifferent one as I stated him to be some months since, is, however, in my opinion, anything but the winner ; and I think he will do very well if he can struggle into the front of the ruck. Young Osborne rides him. ORiitoco will, I fancy, be the solitary representative of the Fyfield Stable ; and for all the good he will do, they may as well have kept him at home. Sly, I be lieve, will ride. CINEAS, who has been the shuttlecock of the ring for months, is a horse with a large stride, not very well filled up, and I have no idea that he will do the deed. A. Day will be at the helm. PHAROS, the shining light of the Goodwood stable and many of the aristocracy, will be brighter on this, than on any previous occasion. The horse has been backed for a great deal of money, is the picture of perfection, will be ridden by Nat, and ought to be one of the first three. BROCKET, on the strength of his solitary performance last year, has found many friends, but lam very much afraid he is not suited to the distance. BARBATUS is a remarkably fine animal, much better adapted to the flat than to the course at Epsom. He is almost sure to finish in the ruck. It is said he will be ridden by Smith. OBESTES, the horse whom I selected for the winner in my analysis of the Derby which I gave in the winter, stands as high in my estimation now as then. He is in first rate condition, - and will be steered by Charlton. SPREAD EAGLE, the stable companion of Orestes, also runs, but has not the shadow of a chance. . _ RATAPLAN will run moderately well, but as soon as the pace is made good will give in. COOMBERLAND STHATESMON will help to swell the field. To sum up, I expect to see the winner of the Derby of 853, in Baron Rothschild's ORESTES, and if anything beats him it will be either WEST AUS- TRALIAN OT PH-AROS. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TATTERSALL'S YESTERDAY. West Australian, Pharos, and Orestes were the only Derby horses backed for money ; 70 to 40 and 100 to 55 were taken several times about the first ; 9 to 1, to va rious sums about the second ; 10 to 1 to upwards of `2,500/., and finally 9 to 1, to 1,0001. about Orestes. The odds quoted against Honeywood and Sitting bourne were scarcely more than nominal. Umbriel, too, was very quiet. The current of opposition against Cineas was as strong as ever ; 16 to 1 was again obtainable. 1,000 to 35 once, and 25 to 1, in tens and ponies, were betted against Jerry Kent. 12 12A 25-1 10 25 10 ..0.6 50 40 25 25 50 25 .00 St. 15 50 St. 16 20 20 50 THE DERBY. 100 to 55 agst Mr. Bowes's West Australian (taken) 9to 1 -- Duke of Richmond's Pharos (taken) 9to 1 - Baron Rothschild's Orestes (taken) 9to 1 - Mr. Surtees na Honeywood (taken and offered) 9to 1 - Duke of Bedford's Sittingbourne 12 to 1 - Lord Derby's Umbriel (taken and off.) 16 to 1 - Mr. Powney's Cineas (taken and offd.) 20 to 1 - Mr. Wilkins's Peggy (taken) 25 to 1-- Mr. J.

The attendance of visitors on Saturday was fully an average of previous days, the total number admitted being 4,894, of whom 4,553 were holders of season tickets, 46 excursion tickets, and 295 paid ss. each at the doors. During the day considerable activity was appa rent in the clearance of bales and boxes, the committee having issued a notice requiring the removal of packing cases, and announcing that after that day no workmen would be admitted. Many alterations were apparent in the Fine Ai is Com t, the position of many of the pictures having been altered, and others removed. Some of the busts have also been shifted, and more room has been obtained in the centre of the court for the convenience of the Visitors who usually throng this attractive portion of the Exhibition. In the g:eat nave a considerable extent of the northern side is occupied by additional poplin and velvet looms. In these important branches of native industry there is a large display from the establishments of Messrs. Fry and Co., Kirby and Leech, Pim, and other principal ma nufacturers. A large stand has been erected by Messrs. Locke, of London, on which specimens of clan tai tans will be exhibited. In works of art numerous accessions are perceptible, the principal of which is the large bronze statue of the Queen, which is mounted near the entrance, looking in the direction of the western end. It repre sents her Majesty seated upon her throne, invested with all the insignia of royalty, and is admirably executed. Some valuable antique groups have been placed upon the ledges of the pedestal in the centre of the hall, and on the dais similar ornaments have been added. CENTRAL HORSE AND CARRIAGE REPOSITORY, ST. GEORGE'S -ROAD, SOUTHWARK.—Y es t er d ay, this build ing, which has been for some time in progress, and is now advanced nearly towards completion, was formally opened by its proprietor, Mr. R. Davis Rea, whose friends and patrons mustered numerously in honour of the occasion. The premises appear to be admirably adapted for their intended purpose ; the site chosen, which is adjacent to the bustling db3trict of which the Elephant and Castle is the centre, being the ground for merly occupied by the almshouses belonging to the Fishmongers' Company, the inmates of which are now removed to Wandsworth. The building presents an im posing architectural appearance at the corner of St. George's-road, the north front and west wing, compris ing about a fourth of the entire area, being arranged for the reception and sale of horses, carriages, and harness. On passing through the chief entrance, a long range of building on each side is visible, fitted up in a series of compartments for the stabling of horses to the number of 160, with all the modern appliances for ventilation and drainage. The entire area, stables included, is paved with Welsh fire brick, and is roofed over, so as to afford every advantage of light and ventilation, and the gene ral appearance, which resembles a railway station, does i credit to the architect, Mr. Eyre. At the end of the building a riding school will in due time be erected, and a subscription room and registry office are among the contemplated addenda to the establishment. A hand some collation was laid out in the large room, as yet unfinished, over the entrance, to which a large party of the friends of the proprietor sat down. The healths of Mr. R. D. Rea, Mr. Eyre, the architect, and other gentlemen, were proposed and warmly responded to, and a strong interest was manifested by all present in the success of the undertaking. OUGHT THE FAVORITE TO WIN ?—Looking at the nature of the probable field for Wednesday next, it may be worth while to take a retrospect of past years, in order to ascertain how the favourites have hitherto come off ; and to facilitate that we have, in another column, given the results of the Derby for the last forty years. In that time this great prize has been carried off by fourteen first favourites--about one in three. In the last ten years it has been carried off by four first fa vourites. To those who are fond of calculating chances by rule it may be worth while for us to follow up these figures. We begin with 1815. If we take that for the first year, and take the average of first favourites win ning as one in three, we shall find that, according to this mode of calculating, West Australian ought not to win, because he stands third in the last three ; and the first of that three (Teddington) was first favourite at starting. According to this system of calculating the chances, it is not the turn for a favourite to win. Of -course we attach no serious weight to this kind of cal culation, but still it is interesting. If we add the odds at starting together for the last forty years, and take the average, we shall find that it is 14 to 1. If we do the same for the last ten years it is just the same aver age ; but what is still more remarkable, if we take the last four years in the same way it comes out nearly the ,same—as, for instance, Flying Dutchman, 2 to 1 ; tVoltigeur, 16 to 1 ; Teddington, 3 to 1 ; and Daniel O'Rourke, 40 Ito 1. This again may set athinkiii e , tizose who are fond of calculations of the kind.—Racing af'F.mzcs. FIGUT BETWEEN TWO PBEACHERS.—We are sorry to have been informed that, at the cattle fair held at Dun for d Bridge, two preachers of the gospel came to words, which led to a regular set-to at fighting. The ono was a ;3aptist preacher, and the other a Methodist. The spectators were very much shocked at the sight.—Edin burgh, Courant. 27i 22 St. i St. 100 5 all St. 100 20 5 St. 100 15 all 100 100 100 all all all I 8i 100 100 all all all 100 all 100 8i all 100 all all 11i 100 1.00 all 34 00_ .IGN. pref.. 1021 3 71 70,1 1 7011 Ili 90i 1 901 1 Pm 80 i I i i 105 4 1181 e 351 6 5a 107 6i i THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

" Notwithstanding repeated notices," says the Monitetcr, "a certain number of petitioners persist in presenting applications direct to the Emperor in his promenades. Painful accidents may arise therefrom. To prevent them, no petition will for the future be received either by the Emperor or the persons of his suite. Petitions addressed to the Emperor or Empress must be put into the post, or deposited at the palace in the hands of the con cierge, who have formal orders to receive them at all hours, and to cause them immediately to reach their Majesties." The municipal council of Issoudun (Indre) has just voted an unlimited credit for the reception of the Emperor and of the Empress, should their Majesties visit that town. The first division of the army of Paris, under General Dulac, marched yesterday morning to oc cupy the camp at Satory, near Versailles. The Moniteur gives news from Constantinople, dated 13th, confirming the modification in the ca binet. The Grand Vizier is appointed Minister of War, and is replaced by the President of the Coun cil ; Rifaat Pacha is named President ; and Reschid Pacha. Minister of Foreign Affairs. There was considerable dullness at the Bourse yesterday in the market for government securities, and a general decline in prices had occurred at the termination of business. The Three per Cents. for the account fell 35c., and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 25c., whilst in the Three per Cents. for cash there was a fall of 30c., and of 40c. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. Bank of France Shares remained unchanged. Closing prices : For the end of the month : Three per Cents., 81f. 15c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 103 f. The. For money : Three per Cents., 81f. 20c. ; Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 103 f. 40c. ; Bank Stock, 2,700 f. A decline of 17f. took place in shares of the Societe Mobiliere, which closed at 915 f. 50c. ; Mortgage Bank Shares are quote d at 880 f. The Railway Share Market was generally inactive, yesterday, and sales could only be effected at a decline on Satur day's quotations. Paris and Strasbourg Shares fell 10f. ; Paris and Lyons, 9f. ; and Paris and Rouen, sf. Shares in the remaining lines declined from lf. to 4f. each, with the exception of Rouen and Havre, which advanced 2f., and Orleans, in which no change occurred. SPAIN. There is no political news in the Madrid journals ,of the 18th. The Gazette announces that, in order to give employment to the labouring classes, the construction of prisons and oth er p u bli c works in the provinces of Corunna and Pontevedra has been authorised. The Clamor Publico states that General Narvaez will shortly be authorised to re turn to Loja. The weather was very severe, and there were heavy ra i ns . A good deal of sickness was the consequence. A letter of the 20th, re ceived by express, announces the nomination of M. Bermudez de Castro, brother of the Minister of Finance, to the embassy of Naples, in the room of the Marquis de Viluma, appointed to Paris. The Monitcur says :—" Some sea-port journals in publishing news on the insurrection of a part of the population which surrounds our factories of Grand Basam, demand that prompt assistance shall be sent to that establishment. The Moniteur of the 18th of April last, made known that the steam advice-boat Grand Bas sam, and the transport Tactique had been sent to Grand Bassam with the reinforcements expected by the commander of the factory. The commander of the naval division of the Western Coast of Africa has joined those two vessels with the steam frigate the Eldorado. Thus from the month of March all measures were taken to put an endtothe aggressions of the natives who are hostile to us, and to assure, to the interests of our commerce in those parts, the protection which is due to them." A letter from Manilla of the 23d February, in the Herald° of Madrid, says :—" It appears that there has been some dispute with the English Con sul at Manilla relative to the prosecution for rob bery of a Jew named Megives Abraham, who, however, was set at liberty. Complaints are made of the unbecoming manner in which the consul expressed himself in the affair. It is desirable that the Government should be able to impose respect when necessary on the foreign commercial a gen t s in that count r y, w h o , without any diplomatic cha racter, permit themselves to meddle with our judi cial administration. The French gendarmes on the Spanish frontier have just arrested a noted Spanish insurgent chief, named Cargo'. TURKEY. On Friday last an aide-de-camp arrived in a spe cial steamer from Odessa, bearing important dis patches for Prince Menschikoff. On the same day the Porte had communicated with Lord Stratford, who, at midnight, dispatched her Majesty's steamer Wasp with dispatches for England. The meaning of these diplomatic movements was that the Rus sian Ambassador had at length given in his ultima tum to the Porte, signifying his intention to wait for an answer until Tuesday, the 10th, when, in case of receiving any but an entire compliance with the Emperor's demands, he will at once take his departure. Russia demands that the Porte shall guarantee all the immunities and privileges accorded by the predecessors of the ac t ua l S u l tan to the Greek Church in the Ottoman Empire, and that any favour or privilege granted to any other Chris tian church or community shall also be ac corded to the Greek Church. That the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, Alexan dria, and Jerusalem, and the Archbishops and Bishops of the Greek Church, be not deposed for the future, except for a legitimate motive, and that the berats, or diplomas of investiture, granted by the Porte be no longer dead letters, but receive a full and entire application in all their clauses. That the Ambassador of Russia at Constantinople, and the Consuls and agents of Russia elsewhere, shall have the right to protect the Greek Church against all kinds of persecution and oppression on the part of the Turkish authorities. That the cupola of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre be re built under the inspection of the Greek Patriarch, and the priority in the tomb of the Church of the Virgin be assured to the Greeks. That the sanctu aries be confirmed perpetually and for ever in the hands of their present possessors. That a church and monastery be constructed at Jerusalem, in which Russian monks shall officiate. The most important privilege the Christians of this country possess is that of self-government. The Patriarch of each Christian community is elected by the people and clergy, and receives a firman of investiture from the Sultan, and is then the spiritual and temporal head of his people. All the jurisdiction of the Greeks is managed through the Patriarch, the Porte not interfering, but re garding him as the responsible agent for the good order his people, whom he can punish by fines, imprisonment, and personal chastisement. All this is expressed by the berat, or diploma of investiture, which, at the dictation of Russia, is no longer to be a dead letter, since all this temporal power will be exercised for the future (through the Patriarch) by the Russian Ambassador at Constan tinople. Thus does Russia demand the exclusive protectorate over 12,000,000 of the Greek subjects of the Sultan. In other words, their allegiance is to be transferred from Constantinople to Sti.ePeters burgh. a The Russian ports of the Black S ea • • moment crowded with the munitions of - war, and the heights above Odessa a re covere d w i th the tents of a large army. On the banks of the Pruth, we arc assured, the pontoons are alretaltdytAhmnelasbdiass;lalint(ol the vast army collected there waits b g r e cady the mouth of enter the principalities.

Reschid Pasha has been appointed to the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Univers publishes the finnan, granted by the Sultan to Prince Menschikoff, relative to the holy places. It is entitled " Finnan relative to reconstruction of the Cupolas of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, addressed to the Paella and the Cadi of Jerusalem, and transmitted to the embassies of Russia and France at Con stantinople on the sth of May, 1853." The Univers says that as the French Govern ment has declared, through the Moniteur, that the concessions made to Prince Menschikoff did not make any change in the concessions previously made to M. de Lavelette " which could not be, on the part of France, the Object of any compromise," it must conclude that the French Government has not accepted the &mans which Prince Menschi koff has obtained in favour of the Greeks, as they modify in several points to the detriment of the Latins the arrangements agreed to with M. de Lavale tte. GERMANY. A letter from Baden, of the 18th, says : " Friendly hands bad planted crosses over the tombs o f th e persons who, in 1849, fell in the various combats, and in particular over the tombs of the in surgents buried in the cemetery of Heidel berg. On these tombs there was also placed an epitaph, exceedingly simple and inoffensive--viz., qie died for the liberty of his country.' The regiine of the Prussian occupation, though noted for its severity, had seen nothing to blame in the sentiment of piety which dictated this tribute of respect. The police of Heidelberg had just had the crosses and tombs painted black, which has effaced the epitaphs which they bore. An order has also been issued, declaring that for the future every epitaph must receive the authorisation of the police before being put up." Baron Berner, late Bishop of Varadin, in Hun gary, who took some part in the revolution of that country, arrived at Neustift, Tyrol, on the Bth, under the charge of a commissary of police, that place having been assigned to him for his residence. A letter from Berlin states, that the canon Foerster has been definitively elected Prince Arch bishop of Breslow._ The Minister of Commerce of Prussia, M. Von der Heydt, has given orders to have the railway from Konigsberg to Brauxsberg, that is, all the Eastern line, opened at once to the public. The Cologne Gazette, under date of Frankfort 20th, says :—" The Senate has proposed to the Legislative Assembly an organic law to regu late the rights of the Jews. According to its provisions, the Jews will be electors and eli gible in such a manner that they may have four deputies in the Legislative Assembly, but these four deputies cannot vote for the election of senators. As to public dignities and employments, the Jews cannot form part either of the Senate, or of the College of the 51, or be judges or exercise any public functions in the administra tion of the schools and of the Christian churches. The Assembly has named a committee of seven members to examine a report on the bill." The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the 18th, which says—" The rumour which was in circulation, that the Government de sired to contract a new loan in foreign countries, gains ground. It is believed that this loan will be applied to the regularisation of our securities, and that consequently it will be considerable." The Augsburg Gazette states from Constantinople —" We learn that the second capital point of the mission of Prince Menschikofl; after the question of the Holy Places, is the demand o f a cess i on o f territory near the Caucasus. The place in question is the port of Baltoun. If Russia were to obtain this port, the line of defence of the inhabitants of the Caucasus might be attacked in the rear, and this port might also serve as a basis for ulterior opera tions against Turkey in Asia and against Persia." SWITZERLAND. According to the Paris Moititeur, the Austrian Charg6 d'Affaires h as l e ft Berne, after notifying the rupture of diplomatic relations between Austria and Switzerland. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The selection of the Strat ford for the conveyance of the Australian mails on the 4th of June, at a cost of 1,0001., is called in question in some quarters, as not likely to realise their speedy transmission. She is described in the packet-list as a clipper bark, and appears to have been built at Cowes in 1832, and her voyage to Mauritius in 1851 is said to have occupied 92 days out and 100 days home, although her last passage from that place was performed in 81 days, It is to be presumed, however, that the tender was the shortest with regard to time of any of those sent in, and that the penalties for failure are sufficient to protect the public from loss, and also to indicate the confidence felt by her owners in her capabilities. At the same time, an opinion prevails that as several other eligible ships are now on the berth, it would have been better if, instead of chartering the Stratford to take out the mails for all the Australian colonies, for 1,0001., the gratuity had been divided into three sums of 3001., and distributed to three vessels respectively making direct passages to Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney.
