It need hardly be added, by way of inforrntion to the many thou sands who are already familiar with his writin(7B, that the distinguished novelist has entered has appeal for the votes of the electors, as a truly Liberal Candidate. Of that there could scarcely have been the shadow of a doubt, for a single in_ stint, in the minds of those in any way acquainted with the social views and the political bias of that very outspoken Gentleman in the Barnacles, Mr M ICHAE L ANa EL° TITMARSH. Culla any on 3 mistaken in this matt possibly have been regard to the principles and aspirations cherishel in the large heart beating with such full and generous pulses under that ample vest, and with in the embraces of that voluminous outer integu ment of broadcloth ? Hardly—it were l i" e short of an impossibility ! Th 3 satirist of Tll , l Snob Papers," the sarcastic c) nmemurator of " FITZBOODLE," the cynical biograp! e of " YELLOWPLUSH," the Lecturer, first o f all, up)n the curiously congoni.ll t heme of the " English Humorists," and after wards upon the still more curiously uncongenial theme of " The Four Georges"—could scarcely, ire conceive, in these matters, have been in any way misapprehended. Had there been really the smallest chance of our being mistaken in him when viewing him through the medium of his earlier and minor and more miscellaneous contri butions to our light literature—the risk would have been very rapidly and effectually precluded by the perusal of his three great serial fictions— his clever and caustic Vanity Fair—his tedious yet brilliant Pendennis—above all, his inimitable and thoroughly delightful Netvcomes—this last nent loped, beyond all manner of doubt, as yet, his Nlasterpiece. It is not alone, however, through this romantic Triad on Trilogy that we may re cognise the enlarged views of the truly Liberal Politician, or the comprehensive sympathies of the genuine and practical Philanthropist. Those views and those sympathies are, so to speak, the very "form" and "colour" of the most unstudied and casual, as well as of the most ornate and elaborated of Mr. TILICKERAY'S varied literary productions. His liberality and his benevolence breathe not more through these latter than through the most effervescent trifles stored up among the motley contents of the Wallet of his Miscellanies. Each in turn may be found— readily by those who list—to have given life to t he germ or core of the minutest paragraphs ever contributed to Punch, by him who was once upon a time chief among the glories of our Great Weekly Droll--" The Fat Contributor !" Remembering all this, remembering everything we have ever read from the pen of W. M. THACKEUAY, under the pink cover of his Christmas books, or under the yellow cover of his monthly serials, in Fraser or in the Quarterly, here, there, and everywhere during the last busy quarter of a century —we are not in the least surprised to find that dear old friend of us all speaking out most stur dily and bravely, as befits him, to the Oxford Electors—speaking out boldly and explicifly,•as a thorough Reformer—not as a bit-by-bit Reformer, fiut as a root-and-branch Reformer. Success go with him in his canvass ! He declares himself to be " heart and soul" for The Ballot ! He avows himself to be an advocate for an extension of the Suffrage—of course not for Universal Suffrage, but for a very appreciable step onwards in it' direction ; in other words, for an Extension of the Suffrage—lmmediate and Comprehensive ! lie proclaims himself to be opposed to Triennial Parliaments, but adds to that not very surprising declaration the assurance, that if the City of Oxford approves of Triennial Parliaments he will vote for them nevertheless. Added to all this, he utters to the electors the rather super fluous avowal (coming from him !) that ho is in dependent of "Every Ministry and Everybody." THACKERAY need hardly have said that anywhere. But he has said it—and in saying it he spoke but a truism familiar to us all. And so—again, sry we, Success go with him in his canvass through that old classic c:ty of the Western University. If the constituency wishes to honour itself, as well as this far-famed Candidate for its suffrages, it will duly, before many days shall have elapsed, constitute W. M. TIJACKERIY, M.P. for the City of Oxford. A notable incident will be found recorded among our Law Reports under the heading of the Northern Circuit—dated York, July 9. It will he perceived that the Learned Judges of that Circuit—Mr. Baron WATSO.T and Mr. Baron CnANNELL—having arrived in the city of York on the previous afternoon, having heard service at the Minster, and having immediately opened the commission at the Castle, upon the following morning breakfasted, according to ancient custom, with the Lord Mayor, and then, viz., upon that ninth day of July—formally commenced the bivii ness of the session ! Now, just observe for a few moments what that Business of the Session turned out to be. In the first place, Mr. Baron WATSON after breakfast proceeded in due course to the Guildhall to try the city prisoners. " There was, however," says the revoort, "nothing thee° for Ilia Lordship to do, and the necessary formalities having been gone througl-, his Lordship left in less than half an hour." Quick work, certainly, and work in every way, and in the highest sense of the term, encourag ing. But mark what occurred imme liately after wards in duo succession ! Mr. Baron GRA.NNELL about noon charged the Grand Jury at the Castle —and Mr. Baron WATSON soon after took his seat in the Civil Court, having, it will be remem bered, just made very short work indeed of Ne ttling, down at the Guildhall ! Well—first of all we will consider for a moment what Baron CIIANNELL had to do at the Castle. His Lordship found upon the calendar Vie names of seventy prisoners, no less than ten of whom were on bail 1 And the Report adds —as truly as sententiously—" Both in number and character of trims this is a very light calen dar." But as to the Civil Causes ?—how about them ? Why, we find the comment of the Report yet more emphatic about them—and no wonder ! For it is observed with reason, " The entry of civil causes is of a characVir 'unknown in tie re ;oflection of any member of the Northern, Circuit." A statement few will feel disposed to question for an instant, after glancing at the next sentence. "For the North and East Ridings there is an entry of seven, causes, and for the West Riding, up to five o'clock, only three causes were entered !" By way of hopeful consolation it is added, howbeit, immediately afterwards—" For the latter list, however, causes may be entered up to twelve o'clock to-morrow," meaning yesterday. Lit us take a peep irate the Civil Court down at York nevertheless, and view things there as they actually were on Thursday. Quoth the Report, " On taking his seat, Mr. Baron WATSON inquired of the officer of the court the state of the civil list ?" Knowing perfectly well, as we do now, what was coming, can't we fancy the result of the next proceeding? " Mr. BELL having informed h's Lordship"—All the faces under the Wigs lengthen ! Silence of course for a second or so—and then : "Mr, Baron WATSON (lo the Bar)—` This is a terribly lad cause list !'" Meaning—fur the Public--a Igloriously good one ! WhereupOn we find Mr. WARREN, Q.C., the Learned Recorder of Hull, and the facetious Author of Ten Thousand a Year, exclaiming, after the manner of a Greek Chorus (and not the least bit of doubt in the world, with a twinkle of fun in the corner of his jeye 0—" To see the nakedness of the land I have ye come !" The matter, however, is alt:- gether, too serious for joking, and the Learned Judge, Mr. ►Btrou WATSON, nait'elY ad'l3 (with a grave face) "This is very bad, very bad." Quite I a Lawyer's view of the ease ! But, seriously, w,. ask—ls it not most encouraging ?It realiy I seems to give one tto glimmering of a hope of our proving after all a little less litigious than hitherto ! GOD send it may be so, in all time to come, the lawyer's biassing notwithstanding 1! Wo have just had in hand, before an election committee, a very nice little specimen of trustec- eleetea, and their responsibility to non-electors ; :led Vie would just ask Lord J. ETJSZELL how the working of his precious theory. It please d the electors of England this year to ex tingudsh the two most conceited parties in the Horse of Commons the Peelites and the Le:iguers—not that the country was ungrateful for their past ser rices, nor that it underrated their talents, but it was heartily sick of their astlumption, and wished to show them that Eng land could go right enough without their ex cathedra counselg. Mr. F. PEEL MS amongst the victims whom it was thought well to sacrifice as one of the self sufficients ; and the good people of Buxy considered that an intelligem manufacturer, in the person of Mr. PHILIPS, a brother of Mr. MARK PHILIPS, once of Parliamentary reputation at Manchester, was a desirable substitute. Mr. F. PEEL was tolerably liberal, to be sure, for a Peelite red-tapist, but Mr. Parws was altogether much more of a Liberal, and a people's man to boot somewhat "extreme," as his opponent would say ; still, it was fair that the people should have a few men in the Muse " extremely" of their way of thinking ; particularly as my Lord JOHN RUSSELL does affirm that he wishes all classes to be represented there ; and the class which would prefer Mr. Palms to Mr. PEEL is a very large one indeed—we should say the entire working class of the kingdom. But how were the operative', the non-electors of Bury, to secure this man. They were hearty for him, because they knew that his " extension of suffrage " and " ballot" Programme was not a mere hustings ruse ; and, ,ike the rest of us, they prefer a man of tried attachment to their creed. They had no votes. Yet Lord JOHN RUSSELL had told them that the (mein seven at Bury who had votes, were their electoral trustees. " Well," they argue, " we will see that these trustees of ours do their duty. They are respon sible for doing it. We will make them feel their responsibility." They organise themselves accor dingly, and form a non-electors' committee. The movement must have been popular, for some 300 or 400 men were engaged in it for a week, and on the two days before the election about 1,000. " A captain " and three or four " assistants " undertook each district. Non-electors, customers of the shopkeepers, were selected as most suitable t 3 wait upon them, and apprise them that the non-electors, for whom the said shopkeepers wore trustees, wished them to carry out their trust faithfully by voting for Mr. PHILIPS ; and, as there ought to be, and must he, some moms of enforcing responsibility, the operatives hinted that desertion of the shop on the part of the working men, would be the penalty of desertion of duty on the part of the trustees. We gather these facts from the state ments of Mr. PEEL'S Counsel, and they appear to have been corroborated by the evidence. Of course, if it should turn out that the good people of Bury think themselves libelled by the Counsel's remarks, we shall be most happy to tender any apology whatever. The only difficulty would be, the difficulty of censuring such apt pupils of so profound a Statesman as my Lord JOHN RUSSELL. We know his Lordship may say that the cestui quo trusts used undue influence with their trus tees. But, what is due influence in a case like this ? Great numbers of these shopkeepers were, no doubt - , between two fires. A few Peelite customers, each with more money in his pocket than a groat many of the operative customers put- together, were demanding a vote for Mr. PEEL. In these manufacturing towns, however, the custom of a considerable number of operatives is frequently of as much-consequence, and often of more, than that of the few richer cus tomers. Our strength lies in numbers, therefore, say the non-electors ; we will club together and balance or overpower the Peelite customers. And, according to the best accounts, they did gain some seventy votes for their candidate ; while his majority not being more than thirty-five, it seems quite probable that their influence, duo or undue, carried the election. Mr. PEEL thinks the influ ence was undue ; perhaps Lord J. RUSSELL would think the same; but what, we ask, were the poor costui quo trusts to do ? Were they to go round with a petition or memorial to the shopkeepers, backed by some thousands of operative signatures, and begging the sellers of gowng, caps, and bon• nets, of tea, sugar, and plums, of flour, bread, and meat to vote for Mr. PHILIPS ?—this would lock something like intimidation. Were they to hold a "mass meeting," as JONATHAN calls it, of the workmen, this would be spoken of in the same terms. The plain fact, however, was, that they knew the strength of the PEEL influence in Bury —they thought that undue influence, and they determined to bring equally undue influences to bear on their own trustees. 011 the assumption that Lord JOHN'S trustee theory is right, and that the shopkeepers woull not, or dare not hive voted for Mr. PHILIPS, but under operative compulsion, we maintain that the conduct of the non-electors was quite natural if not defensible. If the " Constitution" as Lord JOHN says, " selects" the ten-pound householder as a voter for all the other householders, then the " Constitution" is bound to furnish the means of enforcing the voters responsibility, and if it does `, not, the un-enfranchised householders may well be excused for devising the means to enforce it them selves. The case is so much the stronger because the class who would have intimidated the trades men into voting for Mr. PEEL, is a class which has votes. A class, therefore, which has no need to interfere against those who have not ; nay, a class which on the trustee theory is itself bound to consult the wishes of the non-electors instead of opposing them. Indeed it is hardly possible to exaggerate the absurdities of this dishonest fiction. First, as we have just observed, the trustee voters can only be trustees for the six in seven .who are unrepresented, other wise it would result that all the trustees were as a body trustees for themselves ! Secondly, if trustees for the un represented, they are bound to consider, primarily, how they shall best represent the wants of the unrepresented. The show of bands at the hustings, therefore, or at least the vote of a meeting of non-electors should guide the electors in their choice of a candidate--but, in that case, why not give a direct vote to the non electors ? Lastly, the electors cannot be pre sumed to vote for the interests, in distinction from the wishes of the non-electors ; for not be lons,ing to the excluded classes, being indeed of a different social grade, they cannot know its inte rests so well, or care for them so much as for their own. There is, iu truth, neither sense nor sound policy in giving a vote to an elector, unless it be made his own vote ; unless he be thrown upon his unbiassed judgment, and freed, as the Ballot would free him, from selfish and personal consi derations. We have little doubt that, left to themselves, and protected by secret voting, the electors of Bury would have preferred Mr. PHILIPS to Mr. PEEL. The shopkeepers them selves would probably have voted with their best constituents, the working classes ; but, whatever the result, we must maintain that to the full extent of the suffrage, be it what it may, each voter ()light to givis his own, not a dictited ~~ r m.

VISIT or THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA TO THE CITY.— The Regiment of the Hanoural le Artillery Company have been ordered to assemble at Head Quarters, on Monday next, the 13th inst., and thence proceed to the Mansion House, for the purpose of forming a guard of honour on the occasion of the visit of his Royal Higb ness the Prince of Prussia to the Lord Mayor. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Royal, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and the younger members of the Royal Favoly, leave Buckingham Palace on the 16th or 18th inst., for Osborne, to pass a few weeks at her Ma jesty's marine residence. It is not expected that the Queen and Court will return to town until after the coo templated visit of the Emperor aed Empress of the French. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, leave Cambridge Cottage, at the close of the month, for a tour in Switzerland ; after which the Royal Duchess goes to Runopenbeiro, near Frankfort, to pass the autumn. His Excellency the Austrian Minister and the Coun tess d'Appnnyi are to be honoured by the company of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary at Chandos House, this evening. According to advices from Constantinople yesterday it appears that the subscriptions to the National Bat k scheme, promoted by the native capitalists, are making slow progress, and that there is great doubt of its suc crap. The specie from America by the Fulton and Kanga roa is 40,000/ , besides 95,0001. for France. The stock markets continuo their downward course, a further ave rage fall of about 3 per cent, having occurred within the past few days. Erie were quoted 274 ; New York Central, 80 ; heading, 71 ; Panama, 91i ; and Illinois Central, 122. THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—The dull sky and cold wind, no doubt, had an effect in diminishing the attendance at the palace on Thursday, seeing that the half-crown days on Thursdays have almost stew lily been becoming more popular with those who, not hold ing season tickets, still prefer the more select company on those days. The return was as follows :—Seaeon tickets, 2,724; cash, 3,102; total, 5,826. Amongst the visitors was Mr. Baron Bramwell, who spent several hours in the palacc. We have heard that the King of the Belgian and suite will pay a visit to the Exhibition, and we think it not improbable.—Manchester Guardiun. THE CASE 01P STABBING IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON. —Mr. R. IL Robertson, the gentlemaq who an n ar. rowly escaped assassination in the above prison on Wed• nesday last, by an Italian named Salvi, still lie in a most dangerous condition. On inquiry yesterday morn ing at the prison, it was stated by the medical gentle man that Mr. Robertson was in a very precarious state, paralysis of one side having taken place in consequence of an injury to the spinal cord, and that there are but very faint hopes of his surviving. BURSTING OF A STEAM BOILER.—FALMOUTH, July 10.—The French screw iron steamer, Countess Emilie, Rosse r master, of and from Dunkirk, for Gla.gow, burst her boiler off this port last evening. Notice of the casualty was taken from the shore, when the French consul's gig was immediately dispatched, taking off ten surgeons, to provide for prompt attention, in case of per sonal injury, when the bead engineer and a stoker wee found dreadfully burnt. The vessel sustained- no damage, FATAL STriill BOILER EXPLOSION AT CHESTER. Two MEN KILLED. —About two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, a Steam boiler exploded at the ironworks of Mesrs. Henry Wood and Co., near Chester. The boi'er, which was a wry fine one, three years old. and furnished with patent plugs of lead, safety-valves, &a., was blown through a brick wall 200 yards into a field, where one end of it was deeply buried in the cavth. The end of the boiler, which .•lew out, was carried some 300 feet across the works. Though some hundreds of men were at work in the building, no one was hurt except the two engineers, a father and son, who were killed. The son was found under the debris of the boiler, unchanged in appearance, hitt the father was shockingly m.t lated, though some distance from the boiler when it burst.

The proposition was agreed to unanimously, and the board adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. — Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of taking into consideration a report from the Markets Improvement Committee on the references relative to the site of Smithfield market. The report gave a narrative of the course of proceeding adopted by the committee in their communications with the Government upon the questions involved. The sub ject had been discussed at a former court at considerable length. It related to the appropriation of the site of Smithfield and the establishment of a meat market there on, and an adjournment took place after a very strong show of the elements of opposition. Some delay took place before the discus,icen was resumed, and after some observations from the chairman of the committee the Court came to the resolution, upon the motion of Deputy Dakin, " That the report be received and the considera tion thereof adjourned, and that it be referred to the committee to procure plans and estimates for the erection of a meat market on the north side of Smithfield, with an estimate of the probable reve• ue to be derived there from." The Government, it appeared, from the state ments made, had expressed their determination not to agree to any plan which would have the effect of appro priating any part of the area in front of St. Bartholomew's Hospital to the purposes of a meat market, and it was also clear that the governors of the hospital would upon sanitary grounds, resist any attempt to construct buildings there. Some apprehension was expressed as to the probability of further delay, tut assurarces were made that the im portant question should be forthwith entertained by the committee, and that the public might expd it in the shortest possi+ to time a satisfactory report. The court then adjourned. ELECTION OF IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEERS.—The peers of I, eland are represented in the House of Lords by 28 of their number, elected by themselies for life.

LATEST NEWS• AUSTRALIA. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING. The Roxburgh Castle, Captain Adams, 94 days from Melbourne, was off the port yesterday, and anded passengers here. Sbe has a cargo of copper ore and wool, 90 passengers, and, it is said, half a ton of gold dust. The Roxburgh Castle has had a very boisterous passage. She left Port Phillip April 7th, cleared t he Head on the 10th, carried away topgallant ' mast before sighting Cape Horn, which she rounded May 10th ; lost bulwarks off the coast of Brazil, crossed the line June Bth, and shortly after emperienced contrary wind or calms for nine conse cutive days. Near the Lizard, at 11 a.m., on Fri day, spoke the Blackwall, from Plymouth, under all canvass for Melbourne. The Francis Henty, Capt. Caincrosq, from Mel bourne March the 24th, landed passengers at two o'clock this morning. She has nine passengers and 24,000 ounces of gold. After expending 10 days in attempting to make the passage home by Cape Horn, the Francis Henty put about off Van Die men's Land, rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 6) days. She is 26 days from the line. The Copenhagen, Capt. Godfrey, is outside the harbour, coming in and bound to Melbourne. The Queen and the Prince of Wales, from the East Indies, for London, are in the Channel. THE CONSPIRACY IN s PARIS The Times' correspondent (Second Edition) says : " The conspiracy which has been discovered in Paris, is described as the most serious of any that we have as yet had any knowledge of, both from the character of the individuals concerned, the ex tent of its ramifications, and the object proposed. That it was connected with the late insurrection in various parts of Italy there appears to be little doubt, and the first act of the great tragedy, of which a great part of Southern Europe was to be the theatre, was destined for Paris. It appears that documentary evidence of the mo,t telling kind is in possession of the authorities. A mass of correspondence exchanged between Paris, London, and other parts has been seized, showing that during the French elections the Emperor Na poleon was to be assassinated, and most of the letters closed with the words, " Frappez—frappez —frappez," as the speeches of Cato, in the Roman Senate, with " Dclenda est Carthago." A chosen band of 10 or 12 persons was to take the first favour able opportunity of stabbing the Emperor ; and, in order to make sure of the effect, the poniards were steeped in poison. The members of a Pro visional Government were already named, and were prepared, when the deed was done, to seize the reins of power, and to proclaim the Revolution, with all its terrible consequences, all over Southern Eu rope. The names of those who were to take part in this movement are mentioned. The French Govern ment became aware of the plot on the 10th June, a day or two before the arrests took place. Informa tion was given to the Sardinian Government of what was to take place at Genoa, As also of the presence of Mazzini in that city. Why the Sardinian Govern men did not adopt timely measures to protect the forts against a coup de main, or why Mazzini himself was not arrested, remains without satisfactory ex planation. If it be true, as has been asserted, that this personage passed through Paris on his way to Italy, one may ask in turn why the authorities did not arrest him on his journey 7 It is not probable that scruples on the score of personal liberty pre vented them. Such, at all events, is the account given here by those who pretend to an exact know ledge of the affair. The persons in custody on this serious charge are about 20 in number ; they will be tried at the assizes of the Department of the Seine, and the authorities appear convinced that the evidence in their possession is of such a nature as to leave no doubt of the guilt of the accused. It is further said that the plot had iamifications in Spain, and that the late disturbances which have lately occurred on various points of that kingdom are part and parcel of it. I cannot say how far this is true ; risings are of too frequent occurrence in the Peninsula irrespectively of the state of affairs in other parts of Europe to render it necessary to connect them with the present machi nations. The highlands of Catalonia, the moun tains of Toledo, or the passes of the Sierra Morena are not rarely d;sturbed when tranquillity reigns elsewhere. A part of Mazzini's corre-pondence, in cypher, has been found at Leghorn, with a list of subscribers to his loan. The list, which has been very recently drawn up, contains, it is said, the names of persons belonging to various classes of society. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The following telegraphic despatches have been rec€ ived here to-day : TRIESTE, July 10.—Accounts from Constanti nople to the 9th state that Lord Redcliffe had re ceived from Lord Clarendon despatches proposing the judicial and military union of the principalities. It was said that the Persians were still at Herat, the fortifications of which had been strengthened." ST. PETERSBURG, July 9.—The Russians have occupied Gagny, on the frontier of Abo. The Sound treaty has been published. M. Malzow provision ally replaces Prince Gortschakoff. STOCKHOLM, July 9.—The abundant rain which has fallen for the last 36 hours has much imp rove d the appearance of the crops.

Northern Lyons — New Ditto Mediterranean 1,860 -- Grand Central - Geneva A — Midi ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th says:— " The discoveries of arms and ammunition which are being daily made prove the import ance of the means placed at the disposal of the insurrection. It is stated that a battalion of the royal navy is to be sent to reinforce the garri son of La Spezia. A boat belonging to the custom house of Genoa has this morning brought a quan tity of arms and ammunition found abandoned on the promontory of Portofino. A mine had been prepared near the dockyard to effect a breach. It appears that pillage and incendiarism were among the plans of the insu rgen t s at G enoa . Among the written documents f oun d b y th e po lice, there is, it says, ene couched i n th e f o llowing terms Courage ! The fir s t h ouse an d family you are to pillage is that of They aro the richest and most powerful spies and cruel enemies to liberty. Fire and pillage ! Courage ! ' " A letter from from Genoa, in the Opinione of Turin, says Miss White, now confined in the prison of Sant' Andrea, is treated with all possible consideration.- The arrest of the Mal quis Pareto is connected with that of Miss White, that lady being upon visiting terms with the marchioness, who is an English woman. It is stated that the muskets of the insurgents had not been recently imported, but bad lain for seve ral years concealed with great care. There had been an active recruiting for insurgents going on during the last fortnight ; among them there were pedp'e wko understood neither Genoese nor piire Italian, but spoke a dialect only understood in the Romagna. Among the papers found by the police there was a list of all the officers and their resi dences." The Cattolico of Genoa states that all Mazzini's correspondence has been found in the possession of one of the refugees arrested ; and that several per sons compromise" in the movement have taken refuge in Swi!zerfand. The Giglio of Leghorn of the 3d says :—" To day the city is perfectly quiet. The following is the exact number of victims : 14 citizens killed, and 7 wounded ; 3 soldiers killed, and 7 wounded; two officers wounded, including M. Bracci, the son of the commandant. It is stated that at Pisa and Florence tranquillity was not disturbed, owing to the arrest of a man who, from a certain eminence, was to have made signals announcing the commencement of the disturbance at Leg horn. All the stilettoes found are of the same manufacture. Much money had been distributed among the people. We owe our safety to our consul of France, who had long before informed our authorities of what was going on." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Deutschland of Vienna, says :—lt is well known that the Rus. sian Government intends establishing a communi cation between the Caspian Sea and the Sea of Aral by means of a canal, or rather by changing the bed of the river Oxus, and making it fall into the Caspian. The Government and the Geogra phical , Society have already several times sent engineers to examine the course of that river ; and it has now charged M. Schmercon, pro fessor at the University of Moscow, to proceed to the spot to complete the previous surveys. Another important enterprise is said to be in contemplation—that .of forming a communica tion between the Caspian and the Black Seas. The Government some time back sent a commis sion to the spot, and aneording to their first repot the opera+iou will not be Vficult, as a canal might be readily formed from the Mamyss, which is a tri butary stream of the Don, and running to the Kuma, which falls into the Caspian. Mere recent surveys, however, made under the direction of the celebrated geographer Baehr, have shown that the scheme will be attended with much greater diffi culty than the commission appeared to think, and would entail an enormous expense." BELGIUM. The Nord publishes the letter which the Viscount de Kerchove, Minister of Turkey at Brussels, an nounced two or three days ago his attention of ad dressing to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to the recent publication in the Belgian Moniteur on the subject of M. Blondeel, the Belgian Min ister at Constantinople. M. de lcerchove expresses surprise that he should be accused by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of having, by a want of respect to the Belgian Government, "contributed to bring about the solution a hid' has been given to the dif ference between that Government and the Sublime Porte ; he expresses still greater surprise that the minister should have made the accusation, not to him (the viscount) personally, or to the Govern ment which he represents, but in the columns of the official journal ; and he contrasts this proceeding with the conduct •of the Turkish Government, which, notwithstanding its differ ences with M. Blondeel, allowed no journal of Constantinople, official, or non-official ) to at tack him. As to the despatch of 30th May, the communication of which camel offence to the Belgian Government, he explains that it was a telegraphic despatch from the Turkish Government, and therefore necessarily brief and abrupt in its terms ; and he says that he communicated it, not officially, but merely oificieusement to the Secretary-General of the department of Foreign Affairs ; he says also that he so communicated it because no reply had been given to a note sent by him so far back as the 4th April last, suggesting that M. Blondeel should be replaced. He declares that in the note by which the minister returned to him the despatch in question he can find no word of blame, so that he could not suppose the minister had taken offence at the despatch. He concludes by expressing his re gret that he has been placed under the necessity of making these explanations public, and by declaring that whatever may be the solution of the affair be tween Belgium and Turkey (the friendly relations between which countries he has for eight years laboured to maintain), he will have the consolation of having done his duty. The Dresden Journal publishes a royal ordi nance, which prohibits the circulation of foreign paper money in Saxony. It, however, contains the exception already spoken of in favour of the notes of foreign bulks which shall prove they are able to pay in specie on presentation. The Minister of Marine of Denmark some t!me ago charged a commission to examine into the state of the navy in Denmark, and it has just reported that the number of vesse!s, and especially of steam frigates, ought to be largely increased. The Swedish journal Svenska Tidningen, on its part, publishes a long article on the necessity of increasing the navy of Sweden. DREADFUL DISASTER IN THE ST. LA tVIBNCE. QUEBEC, JULY 27, 10 A.M. Intelligence has just reached the city of a nielan- : choly disaster that happened to the steamer Moe treal lsst evening, and by which over 200 lives are supposed tl have been lost. The steamer was nearing Cape Rouge, when flames were discovered by some of the passengers, who in giving the alarm caused the wildest panic to prevail, and a general rush for safety. The officers of the boat endeavoured to restore quiet, but this was found to ba impossible, as the flames, despite the efforts of those in charge, spread rapidly, and were soon beyond all human control. A large number of the passengers had already jumped overboard and were drowned; others were burnt on the veszel, while a few succeeded in reach ing the shore by swimming. Thera were in all ab)ut 500 passengers on board, and out of this number only 175 are known to have been saved, leaving 325 to be accounted for. Hopes are entertained that the majority of them have been rescued ; but it is certain that at least 200 have perished. Cape Rouge, the scene of the heartrending disis'er, is between this port and Montreal. _ There wa3 a small insurance on the vessel, which, with the cargo, is a total loss. CAPTAIN H. B.

LITTLE. —Contrary to pu b lic expectation, and, i n d ee d , t o a ll Lut promise, Spolien s son was not preduced at the ad journed investigation yesterday, and it is believed to be doubtful whether his examination will be gone into or not on Moncay next, on which day it is supposed the case for the Crown will be closed and a formal demand made for the commital of the accused. There were two or three slight links added yesterday to the chain of circumstantial evidence already in proof against Spollen, but the c ase , it roust be admit ed, is very tar from being complete, and unless some stronger testimony is in re serve, there is, apparently at least, but a faint chance of the law overtaking the assassin of Mr. LittlP. The inquiry was further adjourned to Monday next, at 11 o'clock. Detachments of the 50th and 77th Regiments arrivol at Liverpool yesterday from Dublin in the steam-ship Prince.
