As usual Parliament is no sooner " up" than several of the popular representatives are observed " starring it"—according to histrionic phraseo logy—either among provincial friends or political adherents. It is an admirable custom, a custom not among the number of those " more honoured in the breach than the observance," eminently calculated, as it is, to promote good feeling be tween the people and their legislators. Already we have remarked the laudable eagerness with which Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR hastened to make a clean breast of it with his constituents at Glasgow immediately after the prorogation. I has been intimated, moreover, that within a few days the inhabitants of Sheffield will have the satisfaction of welcoming amongst them their distinguished member Mr. ROEBUCK, from whose convalescent lips they may learn the moral of the bygone session, as they were wont to do of old from the mouth of his prede cessor, prior to his removal to the lonian Islands in his official capacity as Lord High Commis- sioner. Several other illustrations of the custom here referred to will doubtless have to be recorded by ourselves before we have far advanced in the ensuing month of September. Meanwhile we are by no means left without some such provocatives of political retrospection. In numerous directions may be observed occurrences suggestive of inves tigation into the past, and of anticipation in re gard to the future—from the balance of which can alone be formed an accurate estimate of our position. Viewing matters in this light, it is impossible to close our eyes against the fact, that an extraordinary apathy in reference to many of the most important reforms, long known to be in the largest sense of the word desirable, has sprung out of the public abandonment of principle by our leading states men, consequent upon the formation of the Coalition Government, or as we have ventured, we conceive not inaptly, to term it the Grand Joint- Stock Administration. Formerly we heard a great deal about certain " large measures" of improvement. Latterly we have heard of these "large measures" absolutely nothing. The cuckoo cry listened to at Carlisle, and other places, would seem in this manner to have effectually lulled to sleep the ex hausted hopes of the community. We don't see anywhere prospects, for example, of even the most moderate extension of the Franchise. We don't see the glimpse of a probability of the redistribution ofthe electoral districts. We don't see any promise w le h t atever of the prevention of bribery by the Baa division upon th e latter We have had the annual we have seen in the list question, it i s t rue , an d the minority the name of the Right Hon. the Chief C omm i ss i oner o f the Woods and Forests. Be yo nd that, however, we have witnessed no token of liberality or con sistency among the motley group of h rMAJEsrv's Ministers, influenced as they are juste love of place and a passion for coropreroase• In stead of revealing this staunch devoted ness w hat are called their antecedents , they have to ignored some of those promises which have been the mo st frequently reiterated. They have, by renewing the Income Tax to 1860, given the strongest plea for its perpetuation. And so with a variety of other questions of scarcely less importance. Insomuch has this been the system adopted for the most part by the different members of the Coalition, that but one of its chiefs has been enabled during the past Session to speak out with anything like Lord JOHN RUSSELL his former independen ce. has, of course, been compelled to address the House pretty frequently, f rom the circumstance of his position as its Leader : but, throughout thewhole of his later contributions to HANSARD, he will be found to have been more than usually dry, didactic, and reserved. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has sat, for the most part, mumchance on the Treasury Benches. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT has been tongue tied. Mr. EDWARD CARDWELL has held his peace in a manner the most exemplary. Sir CHARLES WOOD has bungled through a laborious speech of several hours' duration ingenious and Mr. GLADSTONE has maintained hi s character the pertina c it y, and the in debate by the skill, he defended every clause se in self-possession with which great financial of the h scheme as Ch ance ll or Exchequer. i But while these facts m us t b e ackuowlseodged, and whil e the ready arguments o f mr, wtl:- are borne i n remembrance, and while L statements made from time to a time cir cumstances required, by Mr. FITZROY, are not forgotten—it must be confessed that other princi pals and subordinates of the Cabinet in the H ouse of Commons, were, like the majority of their col leagues, quiet, chap-fallen, and consistent in their inconsistency. Precisely thus has it been, for ezample, with two other Minigterialists not yet particularised—Sir WILLIAM MOT WORTH, the mute, and Mr. RALPH OSBORNE, the dumbfoun dered. The exceptional case, to which we have made allusion, is manifestly, of course, the Right Hon. her MAJESTY'S Chief Secretary for the Rome Department. He alone, among the whole of this tethered cluster of statesmen, has preserved from first to last his freedom of speech, his energy, activity, promptitude, and independence. It was quite impossible that Lord PALMERSTON could ever be otherwise than conspicuous in any Cabinet, no matter what the department to which he might be nominated. But beyond all anticipation, the Noble Viscount has rendered himself more notable as Home Secretary than might have been anticipated by even the most sanguine of his admirers. Through out the whole career of the Coalition he has been the only one among its chief members who has shown vigour of action and boldness of utterance. Look at what has been done, listen to what has been said, during the past session, and answer if, in speaking thus, we are guilty of any extrava gance. Why, the only manly and energetic speech delivered by one of her MAJESTY'S Ministers in reference to the Eastern Ques tion was that noble speech derisive of the paltry policy of Mr. COBDEN, condemnatory of the arr ogance of Russia, and declaratory of the imperative need of maintaining at all hazard the inalienable rights of Turkey, the speech delivered the other evening by Lord PALMERSTON. This, too, upon a subject referring in no manner to the affairs of his own department. Again, at the civic banquet, his was the only voice that ventured to rise above the whisper of official com monplace and political mediocrity. - Nor has he contented himself with talking, his energy as an administrator having kept pace with his boldness as a rhetorician. The fact is attested by the closing of the London graveyards by a memorable series of Orders in Council, as well as by the pas sing of the Act for the abatement:of the Smoke Nuisance. Pre-eminent in ministerial merit among his colleagues during the continuance of the Parliamentary session, Lord PALMERSTON is the first of the principal members of the Cabinet to interrupt the silence consequent upon the Prorogation. Elsewhere in our impression of this evening will be found a report of the admirable oration delivered by the Noble Viscount on the occasion of his laying the foundation stone of the new Athenaeum at Melbourne. The edifice thereby commenced being intended to comprise, within the limits of the same establishment, an Infant's School, a Savings' Bank, and a Me chanics' Institution. The Home Secretary aptly remarked that it was destined to be, as he might say, "an epitome of the life of man, and an ex emplar of the civilisation and improvement of the age." Nothing could possibly have been better or more suitable than the observations thereupon made by Lord PALMERSTON to the inhabitants of Melbourne. One sugges tion only we would venture to thrust upon the attention of the Noble Viscount in his capacity as a Reformer—a suggestion that edi fices of this description might, through his instru mentality, become (what they are not now), in deed as well as in name, Mechanics' Institutions. Lord CAMPBELL'S address to his Moycullen tenantry is both highly creditable to himself, as a landlord, a senator, a Christian, and we may add as a Legislator and a Judge, and is also worthy of perusal by every Irish landlord and tenant, exhibiting, as it does, their respective duties in the most generous and manly style. Lord CAMPBELL knows his own rights, but fully under stands the rights of his tenants. He determines to be fair to them, and never to press the letter of the law to their injury, even in carrying out improvements confessed to be desirable ; but, he expects in return, that no one will ever oblige him to resort to law, which he yet would do rather than tolerate examples of wilful abuse of his moderation. His health was proposed by Mr. KENNY, the parish priest, whose conduct we shall notice presently, with the commendation it deserves ; and his Lordship, in reply, went through all the topics most important to an Irish tenantry at the present time. He adverted to the painful results of the famine, to the impossibility of many then paying rents at all, but especially to that annoying state of things when, with the mortgagee, the Receiver of the Court of Chancery, the collector for the poor rates, for the labour rate, and for the county cess, all demanding to be paid first, the poor tenant really knew not whom to pay ; and often, and naturally, concluded that it was best to pay none of them. " Tenants were afraid to sow or to plant, they were afraid to have stock, even a pig in their possession, lest it should be seized for a rate ; but, gentlemen," said Lord CAMPBELL, " I trust that these bad times have passed away for ever ; now you know who is your landlord, you know to whom you are to pay, and what you are to pay, and everything that remains after that is your own." This, after all the long series of un certainties and unsettlements in Ireland, is the first ingredient of the remedy. That, indeed, which the Encumbered Estates Court is so largely furnishing. A clear understanding, with a rea sonable landlord, giving full assurance to honest industry, but leaving no evasion for shifty idle ness, is the first desideratum of all. And Lord CAMPBELL will be a reasonable land lord. He is above resorting to clap-trap with his tenants. He tells them plainly, that to have his estate divided into larger holdings would be benefi cial both to him and to them. Voluntary emigra tion will benefit both those who go and those who remain ; the labourer remaining will cer tainly have a better demand for his labour, and we begin to understand thoroughly now that Canada to the poor Irish emigrant is a change from starvation and almost compulsory idleness to diet as luxurious as he can desire, and the in dependence and energy of fully-requited industry. Lord CAMPBELL, however, will force none to emigrate. He will be thankful if any are dis posed to enable him to join two or more tene ments till he can make a large farm out of them. He believes that many would be much better off working as labourers regularly for 2s. or 2s. 6d. a day (what new wages for Galway !) than drag ging on a miserable existence, idle half the year, on a small patch of land ; but he will sanction no evictions ; he will not deprive men of their accus tomed means of support, and consign them to the hedge-side or to the workhouse. Then as to their rents, he wishes them to be " fair and moderate. If any of them are too high let them be revised, if any are insufficient they ought to be made fair ;" The cordial cheering with which the double remark was received testifies abundantly that Irish cottiers a ' re as accessible to sentiments of fair play and justic e as we who on this side the water imagine N i v a e i ni e ess n i 7 almost a monopoly of the virtue of Were allladd were all ate . la Lord CAMPBELLS (we may abate our zea l flo Priests Mr. KENNYS), it would English and Scotch, r le Ballot by almost one half. the sincere regard ought to adopt hi sia as well as Irish landlords, to the custom," hearts, if they rea l ly n g'aa ge from their inmost `wish it hofforGalwraY the influence elections, for of their tenantry. he observed, "on these es t atea B4l ur ex,erc t , s ' c of of the proprietor in Parliamentary both the town and county iloa that I never will interfere with Y. Now I tell the elective franchise. (Immense cheering,) hope that you are all loyal, that you are I asp arty politics go, good : to the British Constitution ; that you will be tached subjects ; but, as far your own choice, and vote for the man w h o in your conscience and judgment is most fitting t o attend to and advance your interests." Alluding to the improper influence of the priests at elections, and having expressed his conviction that Mr. KENNY would not interfere with the electoral proceedings m ore than himself, he ir N sub-: ject was adverted to afte rwards b y Mr. KENY, on his health being proposed by his Lordship, in language as worthy of universal adoption by all Catholic Priests, and by all Ministers of Religion, that of Lord CAMPBELL'S by Landlords. Po lemics 1 those shall confine and politics ho gladly left to others. " I c n o e n xi fin o e us m je s ecl ei s C fro sa m id th h e e2 hea " hearts w an e d ed s i o n u g ls ot o it f 1 the people which cause a greater havoc than those ; THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1...f3 53. that grow in the earth. I shall endeavour to ' make them sincere, and good, and moral Chris tians, sincere observers of the laws of GOD and of the land." He hoped the day was coming when Irish Ecclesiastics would take less part in politics than they had hitherto done. Little good was de rived from it, and closer attention to their re ligious duties would be a more pleasing duty in the sight of GOD than mixing themselves up with politics. "Oh ! si sic oranes." It is, however, refreshing to hope, with Lord CAMPBELL and Mr. KENNY, that a better era is commencing both of Irish Landlordism and Irish Priestism. The ne glected duties of the former, and the overdone duties of the latter have been fertile causes of Irish diffi culties. Circumstances, however, especially emi gration and a better proprietary, together with the usual reaction against overstrained zeal, are diffusing a tone of moderation amongst the majo rity of the community, which we may hope will, in no long time, gain the entire ascendancy. Lord CAMPBELL dealt as honestly with them on the subject of religion as on every other ; and while expressing the most tolerant and noble views of religious liberty, he plainly told them of his strong repugnance to the Ultramontanism of some amongst them, a repugnance which, he re minded them, their Catholic ancestors would have fully shared with him. " I am," said he, " for equality in all religious persuasions, but shall be always opposed to ascendancy. (Great cheering.)" He pointed out - with equal faithfulness, the injus tice of the suicidal opposition to the Queen's Colleges, the purity of the motives of the Govern ment in establishing them, and the great advan tage to their children of giving them an education which would open to them the path to the highest offices of the State. We trust this hearty, wise, and manly address will produce an impression on the whole country. It is but too seldom, as Mr. KENNY observed in the opening speech, that landlords, especially landlords of such rank, thus mingle with their tenantry in Ireland ; and we share with him his hope that the day would prove an epoch in mo dern (Irish) landlordism. Nothing anywhere can compensate for a cordial understanding between landlords and agricultural tenants ; and we are happy to have the testimony of Lord CAMPBELL from personal observation, that even in the " far West" of Ireland the signs of diminishing religi ous animosity and increasing agricultural improve ment are everywhere visible. This betokens that landlords and tenants are getting right, and Lord CAMPBELL has done his best to expedite the pro cess. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 27. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Albert, attended by the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, the Hon. Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Colonel Grey, the Hon. Colonel Gor don, Sir James Clark, and Mr. Gibbs, left Osborne at a quarter before nine o'clock this morning for Holyhead. The Royal dinner party yesterday included Lord Elphinstone, Colonel and Lady L. Phipps, Baroness de Speth, Lieut.-Colonel F. Seymour, and Sir James Clark. Duke George of Mecklenburgh and the Grand Duchess Catherine paid her Majesty and Prince Albert a visit of congratulation on the occasion of the Prince's birthday. Earl Granville, Lord President, left town on Satur day morning to join her Majesty on her route to Holy head, and to remain in attendance on the Queen. Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius, and St. Helena. Dispatches were sent on Saturday to the Governors of the West Coast of Africa. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA. SIR,—If, instead of the pound sterling, the half-sove reign (under the name of decimal pound) be made the integer of the new decimal coinage, and a new copper coinage be introduced of pence and tenths, the decimal money table will then be as under :- 10 tenths 10 pence 10 shillings Decimal pounds could be distinguished from old pounds by prefixing the character £D. All the silver coins, except the fourpenny pieces, might be retained. The threepenny piece, or quarter-shilling, would represent 25 tenths, or twopence halfpenny new coinage, and the old sixpence, fivepence, or a half-shil ling—and as 4 tenths are not equal to a halfpenny of the coinage now in use, the difference should be represented by a small coin, six of which would amount to a tenth. By this arrangement, the poorer classes would be secured from loss, and much inconvenience prevented.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Bristol, August 26th, 1853. J. H. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—We understand a mar riage has been arranged to take place between Sir Fran cis Scott, Bart., and Miss Hartopp, member of an old Staffordshire family. Lord Frederick Fitzroy, son to the Duke of Grafton, and brother to the Earl of Euston, is about to be married to Miss Wescombe, a wealthy heiress. The Hon. F. Pakenham, brother to the Earl of Longford, is about to lead to the altar Miss Sophia Sykes, daughter to Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—The Earl of Aberdeen still continues in town. The noble earl has been en gaged during the last ten days in lengthened correspon-, deuce on the Russian and Turkish question. Earl Gran ville left London yesterday, for Dublin, to be in attend ance upon the Queen. Sir James Graham left town yesterday on a tour of official inspection. He visited Dover last evening. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll are making a tour through Ireland. Next week their graces will be the guests of Lord Dufferin, at his seat in the county of Down. Sir William and Lady Moles worth are at present the guests of the Earl and Countess of St. Germans, at the Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix-park.—Sunday Times. MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—It is very generally be lieved in political circles, that before the next meeting of Parliament the Duke of Newcastle will have become Governor-General of India, and that Sir William Molesworth will succeed him as Colonial Secretary. THE LORD WARDEN HOTEL, DOVER.—The new hotel belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Company is now opened. The building far outvies the Pavilion Hotel, at Folkestone, both in size and magnificence. It contains upwards of 100 rooms, which are furnished in superb style, and from which the most delightful views of Dover and the surrounding neighbourhood may be obtained. Mr. Horne (the late hotel-keeper at Liver pool) is the manager under the company ; and enjoys a high reputation for previous experience and able direc tion. A STATION MASTER KILLED.—A fatal accident hap pened on Friday night, at Standish, near Wigan, on the London and North Western Railway. The station master, Meredith by name, was crossing the line, when an engine came up unobserved ; one of the buffers struck the unfortunate man, and inflicted such serious injuries as to cause death shortly afterwards. REVIEW AT DUBLIN.—A grand field-day took place in the Phcenix-park on Friday, in honour of the anniver sary of the birth of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, before Sir E. Blakeney, and a brilliant staff. The at tendance of spectators was unusually large ; the ma jority appearing to be strangers. Amongst those present were—Lord Gough, the Earl of Cardigan and General Cochrane. FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETIES AND REVISING BARRIS TERS.—It is understood that a vigorous stand will be made by the members of these societies in defence of their votes in the Courts of Revision now about to sit. THE MURDERER MOBBS.—Yesterday (Sunday) the wretched man, Nathaniel Mobbs, who murdered his wife on Wednesday last, was progressing favourably, and there seems every probability of his ultimate re• covery. EXECUTION OF RICHARD PEDDER. —On Saturday Richd. Pedder who was condemned at the last assizes for the murder of his wife, underwent the last sentence of the law, at Lancaster. Though every effort was made to ob tain a reprieve, both by Mr. Wright, the prison phil anthropist and others. On Thursday, an unfavourable answer was received from the Secretary of State, who intimated that he saw no ground for his interference with the course of justice. The culprit observed a de corous demeanour since his condemnation. From the time of his entering the gaol, he seemed to appreciate the awful position in which he was placed, and read with attention, and apparently with reflection, the dif- ferent books placed in his hands by the zealous chaplain, the Rev. J. Rowley, who has been unremitting in his attendance upon the criminal. He persisted, however, in attributing his wife's death to an accident, stating that he was unaware of the gun which was the instrument of the fatality, being loaded. There Laneasteyr having been no execution in Lancaster for eighteen years (the last sufferer being John Orrell, who paneodple wide,from remote was strangled on Thursday, March 26th 1835), the event af e s morbid t eanticipateddsby taste for with such intense ten se painful i exhibitions,t e interest b y those oasse waswh omhaanvie. ceeding to the immense importation of strangers into train advertised to leave more than e or at Preston we recognised a number of one or parts of East Lancashire, all pro of the extraordinaray layed —the country town.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,200 Ame rican and 300 Pernam and Maranham were taken for export. The market was tame, but steady. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham, at el. to Bid. : 400 Egyptian at 60. to 9d. • and 500 Surat at aid. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were extremely dull at lower prices. The corn market this morning is 4s. to ss. per quarter higher, and floating cargoes are held for 6s. advance. The accounts to the 16th inst. from New York represent the money market as continuing light, and some fears are expressed that the demand for specie in England will draw further amounts from America, and throw back upon that country some of its securities now in Europe. Obviously, how ever, a great deal must depend upon the extent of our grain imports, which may restore the balance of trade in favour of the United States. The stock market at New York was still very agitated,and dis counts on the best paper were 1 per cent. per month. One writer says, " The demand for money from the merchants exceeds anything we have known for years. If this continues the consequences must be most disastrous." It is further asserted that the mercantile classes are large holders of specula tive stocks, which they are now obliged to sell. If all this is the result of the new banking law which compels the banks to publish weekly state ments of their liabilities and assets, it is a con vincing proof that they have been over-issuing, and are obliged violently to contract in order to keep permanently in hand the amount of specie required, and ultimately, whatever inconvenience occurs, we may look for a sounder state of things. In the meantime, we trust there may not be those local failures which one or two of the New York papers apprehend. Up to the 13th inst. the ship ments of specie from New York had this year been 13,395,000 dollars. During the week to the 13th inst. the excess of im sports over exports at New York was 1,660,000 °liars, being more favourable than previously. The latest Mexican dates appear to be Aug. 8, from Vera Cruz. Santa Anna had called for a re turn of all foreigners residing in Mexico without licenses, with a view of imposing a fine or impri sonment upon them. General Gadsden, the envoy from the United States, had arrived at Vera Cruz, and it is said he was instructed to obtain the grant by Mexico of a free right of way for a railroad along the 32d parallel of latitude, the United States in return, relinquishing all claim to Tehuan tepec. This arrangement, it is said,. would trans form the southern frontier of Mexico into one of the most wealthy and populous regions in the world. The war between Peru and Bolivia is taking quite a new turn, and the former country, it is said, will have merely to look on, as the President of the latter was afraid to summon Congress, and had already two of his own generals in arms against him. The revenue of Peru for the years 1851-2 showed a fair surplus. The difficulties pending between Peru and New Grenada had been amic ably settled. Chili is described as being very pros perous, and in Bogota and Ecuador peace pre vailed. The East India letters by the Overland Mail describe the markets as being duller than was ex pected, but it was still expected that there would be some improvement. In China, business suf fered by the continuance of the rebellion. The packet established last year by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to maintain a monthly communication between Savannah and the Bahamas and Jamaica having been withdrawn, the closed mail can no longer be forwarded via Savannah.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have inti mated, that as the Great Northern Railway Com pany have declared that the dividend due on their 4 per Cent. Preference Shares will only be paid to the parties registered in February next, the shares shall be dealt in with the dividend until that period. The railway " calls" for September amount to 496,7291., of which 50,0001. is for the East Indian Extension, 202,5001. for the Great Northern, 190,2291. for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Fifths, and 54,0001. for the Middlesbro' and Redcar. The English Securities have been a little firmer, but there has not been much doing. Consols have realised 98 and 98k for Transfer, and 98 to for Account ; the rise in the corn market and the delay in the final settlement of the Eastern question in ducing the speculators to hold off at present. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1011 to g, and the Three per cents. 98i to 99. East India Stock is at 257. Exchequer Bills have been at 2s premium. Foreign Stocks have been quiet, and there is no particular change in prices. Grenada Active Bonds have been quoted 23, and the Deferred 9i. Brazilian Old Bonds have realised 1021, and Equa dor 5. Mexican are nominal. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 45. Sardinian Bonds are at 96&. Dutch T wo-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 65 to I. Greek Bonds have been done at 7i for the blue. There is no alteration in Spanish. Railway Shares have been affected by the ar rangements for carrying over, and the " continua tions" are but light on the English lines, while on the French there is again a " baccadation." Prices are in a few instances a shade better. Gold Mines are steady, and Land Companies dull. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. ( From the Official List.) Business done. 3 per Cent.

ANNE'S, WESTMINSTER. —The polling for the church-rate of " one halfpenny in the pound," opened on Thursday evening last, and was brought to a close on Saturday evening, when the num bers were—for the rate, 72 ; against it, 120 ; majority against the rate, 48. Thus it will be seen that the pro posed church rate of " one halfpenny in the pound" has been lost by a majority upon an appeal to the ratepayers. It is remarkable that during the last day's polling not a single vote was recorded in favour of the rate. IwyLux OF GOLD TO - Notwithstanding the prospects of the harvest, and the transactions which have taken place in consequence, the influx of gold to Paris continues to increase, and the Mint have furthe extended their period for coinage to 67 days. The amount of gold now in the hands of that establishment is estimated at about 2,700,0001. DEATH OF SIR C. NAPIER. We deeply regret to announce that we have received word by electric telegraph that Sir C. Napier expired this morning at five o'clock, with out suffering, at his seat, Oaklands, near Ports mouth. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. By the Royal Mail steamer Niagara, which ar rived at Liverpool yesterday, we have advices from New York to the 16th inst., and Boston to the 17th inst. She has brought 92 passengers, but no specie. _ _ The America from Liverpool for Boston, was passed about 70 miles from the latter port. The weather was very hot at New York, the thermometer ranging from 90 to 102. Upwards of 200 persons died from the effects of the heat in seven days. The Washington correspondent of the New York _Herald, writing on the 15th, says there can be no doubt it was intended to send Mr. J. Dix to France, but recent events have caused a change. It is now settled that Mr. Dix shall not receive the appointment. A difficulty is experienced in finding a proper person. Mr. Dallas, Mr. IVPLane, and General Bayley, are all mentioned. The Kossta question is likely to assume a much more important character than was at first antici pated. Mr. Marcy is already pledged to the posi tion, that the filing of a declaration of an intention to become a citizen of the United States entitles the individual to the protection of that Govern ment. At New Orleans the yellow fever was raging with great virulence ; the total number of deaths for the week ending the 12th was 1,518, of which 1,277 were from yellow fever ; on the 13th the deaths were 174 —153 from yellow fever. Jamaica advices of the 28th ult., one day later, are unimportant. There had been a good business transacted in the New York stock-market.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the I Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, left Osborne, as already stated in The Sun, on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Proceeding by the route of Basingstoke, Leamington, Nuneaton, and Trent Valley to Chester, they arrived there in perfect safety at half-past six in the evening. The Hon. Francis Scott, Colonel Henderson, one of the directors ; Mr. Scott, the manager ; and Mr. Godson, the superintendent of the South-Western, pro vided for the safety and comfort of the Royal travellers from Southampton to Basingstoke. Here they were re ceived by Mr. Russell, the chairman of the Great Western, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. G-ooch. At a rapid pace the train swept along, scarcely slacken ing its speed even in presence of the sedate towers of Oxford, and consigning its precious freight to the keep ing of the narrow guage at Leamington. The North- W estern —represented by Captain Huish, Mr. M'Connell, Mr. Trevethick, Captain Bruyeres, and another gentleman —now took up the running, and along the rich land of Warwickshire and the valley of the Trent the train dashed northwards. Each station had its band of determined and loyal sightseers, who cheered and waved their hats and handkerchief at the mere glimpse of their Queen. At the few places where the engine drew up for water the crowd of spectators was very dense, and, where a guard of honour, military or milltia, could be mustered, a salute was forthcoming. The only long pause made on the route—and that not exceeding 30 minutes—was at Tamworth, where the Royal party had an elegant luncheon prepared for them by the company. Mr. Rey nolds and Mr. Burgis, of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, took charge of the train from Chester, and throughout the distance travelled a punctuality and speed highly creditable to the authorities of the different lines was maintained. The Royal Family, on arriving at Holyhead, embarked without a moment's delay on board the Victoria and Albert, which was lying at the pier to receive them, and which at once steamed out into the new dock to join the rest of the squadron. Her Majesty was to remain there quietly during the day, and will cross the Channel to Kingston harbour this morn ing (Saturday). Earl Granville, whose name is so intimately associated with the Great Exhibition of 1851, accompanies the Queen on her present visit to Ireland. The Noble Earl joined the Royal train for that purpose at Basingstoke. As the public are aware, the object of her Majesty's visit to Dublin on this occasion is to witness a repetition in the sister country of that grand display which took place two years ago i n Hyd e P ar k. S uc h a compli ment paid to the cause of industry must, under any circumstances, be regarded with interest, but, referring as it does to Ireland, it has a peculiar significance and value. Amid all the excursions that the Queen has undertaken, there is, perhaps, none that places her conduct and character in a more benignant light than this. The cares of Royalty, like those of humbler life, demand a period for quiet and repose, and during the present year the time available for that purpose has been much curtailed by an unusually protracted Par liamentary session ; yet for the sake of the Irish Exhi bition Her Majesty has not hesitated to cross the Channel, and postpone her escape to the seclusion of Balmoral. Yesterday, for the first time, a new arrange ment was adopted with reference to the railway travell ing of the Royal family ; it is henceforth to be under the management of the Board of Trade. Captain Sim mons, R.E., accompanied the train, and was on the engine the entire distance from Southampton to Holyhead. The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred visited the South Stack, in a private carriage, about four o'clock yesterday evening, without any escort or guard. The arrangements for her Majesty's reception at Kingstown and in Dublin are nearly completed. A co vered way has been erected at Kingstown from the landing-place at the jetty to the terminus of the railway. This temporary structure will be decorated with banners and flags. The harbour is well stocked with shipping and yachts. All are preparing to welcome her Majesty after the manner of " the sea." The universal wish now is for fine weather. Her Majesty's carriages, 14 in number, with 12 riding honies, arrived in Dublin on Friday per steamer from Holyhead. They were conducted to the Viceregal stables at the Phcenix-park. A change has been made in the route for the proces sion which is to conduct her Majesty through the city. The Lord Mayor and corporation will receive her Ma jesty at the railway terminus, Westland-row, where they will present the civic address. From thence the procession will proceed by Merrion-street, Nassau-street, College-green, Westmoreland-street, Sackville-street, Eccles-street, by the North Circular-road, to the Vice regal Lodge in the park. At the Westland-row terminus an elegant salon is in progress of being fitted up, in order to give her Ma jesty a suitable place to receive the address of the cor poration. A chair of state will be placed upon a dais in the centre, thus removing her Majesty from any pressure of a crowd which might arise under the natural and loyal anxiety to see the beloved Sovereign of these realms. A deputation from the corporation of Limerick had intended to come to Dublin to present her Majesty with the address adopted by that body, but the following letter from the Lord Lieutenant to the town clerk of Limerick will save them the trouble. Her Majesty's desire is that all addresses may be transmitted through Lord Granville : " V. R. Lodge, August 25, 1853. " Sir,—Having submitted to the Lord Lieutenant your letter of the 19th instant, addressed to Mr. L'Estrange, I am directed by his E ace llency to inform you that it is the Queen's wish to devote as much time as possible during her stay in Dublin to the purpose of visiting the Exhi bition, and that his Excellency must therefore request that the address from the corporation of Limerick may be sent to the Earl Granville, who will lay the same before her Majesty. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, "HENRY F. PONSONI3Y. "J. Murphy, Esq., Town Clerk, Limerick." ---- A guard of honour, consisting of one field officer, one captain, two subalterns, four serjeants, and sixty rank and file, are to mount guard at the Viceregal Lodge on Monday next, and to be continued daily during her Majesty's stay in Dublin. Tents are to be pitched in the vicinity of the Lodge for the accommodation of the guard. It is said the Queen and Royal Family will remain in Ireland for the week, returning to Holyhead on Saturday, the 3d day of September, on her way to Bal moral. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. the Hon. H. Keppel, has completed her coaling 1 which has brought her down considerably. u pwa rds of eighty men have vo l un t eere d to join this splendid ship from the Ajax when paid off which will then nearly complete her complement.—Plymouth, Times. YACHT ACCIDENT.—The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe's yacht, Cloud, in running for Barnpool, on Monday af ternoon, got on the rocks, known as the German, off Creanll Point. The boats of the Impregnable, Brisk, and Sybille, were promptly sent to her assistance, and she was soon got off, and, we understand, without much damage. His lordship was on board at the time. —Plymouth, Tim** LATEST FOREIGN NEWTS FRANCE. It appears from the reports which a great num ber of prefects have made to the Conseils Gene raux, that the fears which existed respecting the harvest are altogether groundless. The quantity of grain this year is of average amount, acid the quality is excellent. An anniversary service for the soul of Louis Philippe was performed yesterday in the chapel of St. Ferdinand, at Neuilly, in the presence of the friends and servants of the late king. A letter from Belgrade of the 14th announces the expulsion from Servia of several refugees, who had been convicted . of anarchical i n t rigues . Th e country was tranquil. It was rumoured on Saturday that explanations would be demanded by the Belgian Government relative to the long article which appeared the other day in the Constitutionnel on the marriage of the Duke of Brabant. It was a critique on a pamphlet published in Paris under the signature "Un Beige," to which reference was made in The Sun on Thursday. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The news of the expected settlement of the Russo-Turkish question has produced a panic among the refugees, who fear that restrictive mea sures will be taken against them. The Sultan has granted the decoration of the newly-founded order of Metschedie to all the high officers of the fleets of Great Britain and France. It is said that a despatch was on Saturday at Paris received ,from the French Minister at St. Petersburg, stating that, in a conversation with the Emperor of Russia, his Majesty declared posi tively that the moment he received the account of the acceptance of the note he should sign the order for the evacuation of the Principalities. The Patrie states, on the authority of a' letter from Jassy, dated the 12th, that the Russians were al ready taking the necessary measures for the evacua tion, and that the General-in-Chief had informed the authorities of Moldavia that when voluntarily retiring he should leave in the hospitals of the town the sick and convalescent, as well as a detachment of hospital attendants of the second corps d'armee. The Times correspondent writing from Constan tinople on August the 16th says :—lt is a disagree able duty to record the state of feeling which ex ists in Constantinople at this moment. Whether deserving of it or otherwise, the English have come in for all the blame. The Turks complain that they have from the first been instigated to resist ance, forced into ruinous expenses, always counting on the assistance of England, which sent her fleet to the Dardanells, and now in the hour of need they , are, as they say, basely deserted. They quote the prophecy of Napoleon, which has found its accom plishment in the fact that Europe having struggled to become Republican is now content to remain Cossack. Thereare two bye-words now in Constan tinople—the Russian and the Englishman—and equally detested. Wecut the more sorry figure. The name of Aberdeen serves but as a feeble shelter against the opprobrium heaped upon us. The re maining question is how long are the Russian troops to remain in the Danubian provinces Their actions hitherto have pointed to a permanent sojourn, nor is it too much to expect that having demanded the cost of occupation, which the Turks are unable to pay, they will quietly take final possession. Thus will Russia have gained a victory over Europe in obtaining what she first asked for, and two fertile provinces into the bargain, as reparation for Eng land and France's demonstration at the Darda nelles. The arrival of the Egyptian fleet caused some ex citement last Sunday. Each line of battle ship was towed by two large steamers past the city, up the Bosphorus, as far as the encampment opposite Therapia. They exchanged salutes nn their arrival opposite the Seraglio, and again when they came within sight of the Turkish fleet. The Egyptian squadron consists of two two-deckers, four frigates, two corvettes, and two steamers, under the com mand of Kel Selim Pasha. The fleet has on board 12,000 troops and 5,000 sailors, and is now lying off the port of Ukiar Skelessi, in the Bosphorus, opposite Therapia, where a large camp has been formed for the reception of the troops. The latest post from the Danubian principalities announces that the Princes of Moldavia and Wal lachia have refused to obey the order of the Porte to appear in person at Constantinople. This places Government in a most embarrassing position. Every account received from the different pro vinces of the empire speaks of the zeal shown by the people in arming themselves for defence against Russia. It remains to be seen how this unexam pled enthusiasm will be allayed without war. The cases of cholera in the Russian military hos pitals are so numerous as to excite very serious apprehensions among the people. The Augsburg Gazette, which is said to be the organ of the Austrian Government, thus flippantly attacks the conduct of England "Never have the Parliamentary debaters and the British press played a more pitiful part than during the Russo-Turkish crisis, which—as we hope—is now at an end. Such a sudden fall of a State from its political and moral consideration we hardly ever recollect to have seen ; indeed all this tissue of petty intrigues—a tissue rotten in every fibre—was necessary to extinguish the last spark of faith which the world was still inclined to place in British rectitude. The clumsiness with which the thing has been conducted is only equalled by the vileness of the intention. All the dishonour, all the ignominy, all the falsity which England has taken such pains to cast upon the Emperer Nicholas has recoiled on herself, and under the mass of rubbish will long lie buried her good name and reputation for faith and honesty. The Emperor of Russia has never celebrated a more glorious triumph than by reducing to its proper proportions the influence of England in Turkey, an influence employed only to the disadvantage of Turkey, and to the dissemination of revolutionary principles in Europe. The Emperor Nicholas has proved to Turkey that its unendangered existence in Europe does not depend on the Western Powers. There is no tyro in politics who has not discovered that in this conflict it was the aim of England to annihilate the in fluence of Russia, and to establish its own instead. AUSTRIA. The Emperor has resolved, as soon as cir cumstances will permit, to restore the natural order of things in all parts of the monarchy. The state of siege will be abolished in Vienna, Prague, and in the Bohemian Fortresses of Koenig-gratz, Theresienstadt, and Josephstadt, on th e I s t o f next month, and his Majesty has now resolved that a somewhat less severe system shall be tried in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces. SPAIN. The Madrid journal, the Gazette, which appeared on the 22d, announces the death of Vicomte de la Armenia, one of the representatives of Madrid in the Cortes. The heat was so excessive—having even exceeded 1101 degrees Fahrenheit—that the authorities had deemed it necessary to order that the gates of the town should remain open during the night, to afford the population an opportunity of obtaining a little fresh air in the country, and great numbers had taken advantage of it. Much sickness prevailed, especially amongst children of tender years. The Minister of the Interior, says a letter, is engaged drawing up certain bills of im portance, and amongst them. one on the liberty of the press. GERMANY. The Senate and Council of Frankfort have pub lished a decree introducing various modifications in the constitution. By the terms of para graph 4, the Jews are invested with certain po litical rights, and amongst others they can take part in the elections of the members of the Legis lative Body ; but they cannot be elected to the Senate or to the body representing the burgess class, nor can they be judges, or fill any employ ment connected with the instruction of the Chris tian religion. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, AUG. 26. M. Van Hall's law on religious liberty was voted in the Second Chamber of the States-General yes terday. The numbers were—For, 41; against, 27 ; majority for the Government, 14. The cham ber afterwards adjourned. The law was immediately transmitted to the First Chamber, and its exami nation in sections will commence with the least possible delay. The Catholic party, although much dismayed at the success of the bill thus far, has commenced to agitate anew in many of the principal towns and communes, and petitions a g ainst the law ar e now being signed for presentation to the First Chamber. There is, however, scarcely a doubt but that it will finally receive the Royal assent. DEATH OF MR. R. J. SMYTH, M.P.—lntelligence has been received of the sudden death, on Thursday, of Mr. Roger J. Smyth, member for Lisburn, at his father's residence in that town. Mr. Smyth, who was the eldest son and heir of Mr. Thomas Johnson Smyth, D.L., of Lisburn, was elected for that borough in December last, in opposition to the influence of the Marquis of Hertford, whose candidate was Mr. Inglis, then Lord Advocate of Scotland. It is likely that there will be a sharp contest for the vacancy thus created in the borough. A Comet of unusual brilliancy has made its appear ance within the last few days. It was first noticed frtln a vessel in the Atlantic about a fortnight ago, and I;as been seen by several persons in Plymouth and Devon port during the pet week.---Plymouth Times.
