" The miserable CLARENDON Capitulation" was last night brought under the consideration of the House of CoMmous. We have long since ex premed our own views respecting that wanton and gnaltsitous surrender of our incontestable and in dispensable rights—of rights that ensured the maritime supremacy of Great Britain, and the abolition whereof might reduce her from a first rate to a third-rate power. On the very day of the publication of the protocols of the Conferences held at Paris, we earnestly and emphatically protested against the uncalled-for and most dis astrous acquiescence of Lord CLARENDON with the insidious application of the Count WALEWSKI—an acquiescence which was clearly beyond his autho rity, the question being coram non jadice. He went to Paris merely for the purpose of arranging the terms on which peace could be concluded with Russia, to determine the securities that should be given for the good faith of the disturber of the peace and tranquillity of the world, and against any repetition of previous aggressions. These guarantees had been already arranged. " The Precious Treaty" had been duly signed? and only awaited formal ratification. The Plenipotentiaries were resting on their oars ; but, as Dr. WATTS long since declared— " Satan finds some mii.ohief still For idle hands to do." And Lord CLARENDON either became the victim of that idleness, or, more probably, yielded to secret and unconstitutional instructions from an irrespon- sible party. It was, we believe, in deference to Germanism that the sacrifice was made. It was desirable that those who were indifferent to the calls of honourshould be rendered capable of turning their neutrality to good account, and, salving their wounds with a golden ointment. It was a purpose which Prussia had long had at heart. She had experienced the pro fits of the carrier traffic during the war, and was anxious not to throw away a chance, and of course what " CmcouoT" desired could not be rejected, so long as the contemplated matrimonial alliance was on the tapir. It was a portion of the price which the United Kingdom had to pay for the in auspicious marriage ; and the claim was fully liquidated. Better had it been if the nominal dowry had been multiplied a hundredfold than that one of our most cherished privileges, for which our most honoured statesmen, our most gallant admirals strenuously contended, should have been wickedly and treacherously sacrificed without the shadow of just foundation. The other Plenipotentiaries were astounded at the magnitude of the demand and still more at the prompt acquiescence of the representative of Great Britain. They knew that every similar applica tion had been indignantly rejected, and they could not for amoment havesupposed that Lord OL A.REN DON would, without the slightest possible equiva lent, have consented to fritter away what one of our greatest jurists truly termed the inalienable rights of his country. They thought that there must be in it something more than meet the eyo, and actually took time to consider about matters that they would willingly make the greatest sacrifices ) to attain. The power that caused Britain to merit her prefix, that rendered her truly " great," that enabled her to meet the world single-handed, and to compel peace by cutting off the commerce of hostile nations, was abrogated with as scant cere mony, as an appeal would be disposed of at the Quarter Sessions. We did not even make a merit of the heavy sacrifice, but yielded at once to the first suggestion, following in the wake of France, and giving all the credit to the EMPEROR of having so efficiently clipped the wings of " perfidious Albion !" The well recognised law of nations thus re pealed by a stroke of the diplomatic pen, was that which rendered England invincible. We might not be enabled to destroy armies, but we could cripple commerce. We could stop the supplies that would maintain the troops of our opponents, and paralyse the sinews of war. That, however, will be no longer the case if the contract be continued. It is, however, a mere nudism, pactum—one entered into without consideration of any kind. The United States refused to be bound—there is therefore no reci procity—nothing that can by any possibility give anything approximating to an equivalent for the terrible sacrifice. We therefore contend that it is purely optional with us whether we shall continue the inauspicious compact. The Law of Nations could not be altered, so far as Great Britain was concerned, without the assent of its Parliament. But neither Lords nor Commons were ever consulted. The stipulation did not receive the proper ratification, and could not, therefore, be considered binding. Nor could it be regarded as a breach of faith by the British nation, where one estate of the realm only negotiated. We trust that something may speedily be done, and that we shall not wait until an emergency arises; to get rid of a matter fatal to British power, in many events that may any day arise. What course will the House of Commons take respecting Mr. DILLWYN'S promised motion for Friday ? The answer will depend on the proceed ings of the Members at the Kings Arms Hotel, to-morrow. If they are boll and uncompromis ing—if they steadily insist on being the sole judges of their own rights and privilege 3, and de termine that Baron ReTIISCIIILD shall be admitted to his seat, as one of the chosen Representatives of the City of London, on taking the oaths, in the form most binding on his conscience, all will be well. They will triumph over bigotry and into lerance, and establish their own independence on the soundest foundation. But any symptom of yielding, or even of vacillation, will be fat ii. They will have to contend with the TADPOLES and Limns, with red-tapists of every class. But the manly and independent policy is that which is alike best and safest. The game is at this moment in their own hands, as it has been at any time during the last ten years ; and they have only to play their cards judiciously to secure a complete triumph. Any temporising will, however, be fatal. What might, under different circumstances, be regarded as caution, will assume the appearance of timidity, if not of absolute cowardice. The boldest will now, as on many other occasions, be the safest policy. As we have repeatedly pointed out, the prece dent of the Quaker's affirmation goes directly to the point. There the form was abandoned, and juAly, because the substance was complied with. No complaints were made of the exercise by the House of its legitimate jurisdiction, nor would any obstacle have arisen but for the ill advised course adopted, of striving to obtain an act of Parliament for that which might more properly have been carried by a resolution of the House of Common 9. It will be time enough to pass a bill, when her MAJESTY in the exercise of her undoubted prerogative, deems it expedient to elevate a Jew to the British peerage. It has been said by " expediency men," that to do so, will be to aim a heavy blow at the Upper House, that it will place the hereditary branch of the Legislature in a very undignified. position. Be it so. We are quite prepared for the alter native. Never was retribution more justly merited. Never were the natural consequences more urgently provoked. Session after Ses sion —Year after Year—were the wi s h es of the co-ordinate branch expressed by large and decisive majorities contumaciously disregarded ! A perverse obstinacy was displayed, and the Peers can alone blame themselveß, if the popular representatives finding their earne6t re monstrances neglected, should try what virtue may be in more energetic action. The requisition which appeared in our impres sion, has already received many additional signa tures, and looking to the names affixed, we hope and believe that the measures adopted will be worthy of the importance of the point at issue. Should there be a clear expression of opinion, the Government will follow with the current. Lord PALMERSTON will not oppose the anmous desire of so many of his independent supporters, which will doutbless be sustained by a firm and unyielding pressure from without. A meeting in the City has already been announced, and it requires no extraordinary degree of fore sight to predict the line that will there be taken. It is tie last opportunity that can be anticipated. "The light cloud" is already passing from the face of the Moon, and, as we have stated, a mo ment's vacillation will be fatal, and can never be recovered under any circumstances. It is not necessary now to enter -into the merits of the question. It is not merely whether Jews should be admitted into a seat in the House of Commons. It has now assumed very different dimensions. There is a struggle between the Upper and Lower House. The collision has been provoked by the hereditary legislators. They have driven the Representatives into a corner, and a conflict is inevitable. Vigour and energy in the first in stance will avert very serious consequences here after. And that must be displayed, or those who have abdicated their functions and deserted their colours will have to render heavy accounts to their respectivp constituents, for a policy that will be eminently unpopular in every district through out the length and breadth of the land. THE SUN, LONBON, WEDNESDAY EVENING; JULY 15, 67. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Her Majesty the Queen honoured the above theatre with her presence last evening. Tao royal party did not arrive until nearly ten o'clock—in time, however, to see the last act of " L'Elisir d'Ansore" in which the principal parts were most admirably supported by Jladdle. Piccolomini, Signori Rossi, Belart, and Bel letti. In the opera, Signor Rossi, whose admirable performance of "Don Pasquale" last season was univer sally acknowledged, was the Dulcamara of the evening. For genuine 'cis corniea, and a thoroughly correct reading of .this difficult role, he is most remarkable. His w hole performance, both as to acting and sing ing, was highly artistic, and his success genuine and complete. We believe that her Majesty's visit on this occasion is to be mainly attributed to the t xtraordinary attraction of " Marco Spada," in which the unsurpassable powers of that most accomplished clanseuse and pantomimist, Madame Rosati, 'are dis played to so much advantage. Her Majesty and the royal party remained to the end of 6. Marco Spada," and appeared to enjoy the per formance from first to last, although it did not terminate until midnight. The house was• crowded. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort honoured the performances also with their presence. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Bel gium, and his Royal Highness the Count of Flanders, ac cornpanied her Majesty, and the Prince Consort and his Majesty the King of the Belgians. The suite in attend ance upon her Majesty the Queen c miprised—Lady Macdonald, the Hon. Louisa Gordon, Lord Byron, and Lard Charles Fitzroy. In attendance upon his Majesty the King of the Belgians were—Colonel the Count Moerkerke and Captain Burnell. His Royal High ness the Prince Consort was attended by Captain the Hon. D. de Ros. Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Belgium was attended by the Countess d'Yve and Madame de Bovee. Among the illus trious, noble, and distinguished individuals also present at Her Majesty's Theatre on this occasion we observed their Royal Highnesses the Princes of Oude, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Frances Countess of Waldegrave, accompanied by his Excellency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, M.

Mrs. Cast and Miss Macdonald, the Hon. Caroline Norton. THE QUEEN AT ALDEASHOT. —Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the Prince Consort and the younger branches of the royal family, will leave town tomorrow, for Aldershot, with the intention of remain ing a couple of days in camp. A grand review of all the troops has been arranged to take place on Friday, and those who have any interest in witnessing a "field day" will do well to make arrangements to be present on the occasion—probably the only opportut ity that will be afforded during the season of witaesssing the whole of the troops engaged in mimic warfare. The South- Western Railway Company, anticipating large accession of traffic, have made arrangements which will secure the rapid and easy transmission of any number of passen gers ; and a new line of omnibuses, now running at merely nominal fares between the Farnborough station and the camp, will ensure ready access to the aeld. THE QUEEN OF THE NETHEELANDS.—Her Majesty tho Queen of the Netherlands, travelling under the name of the Countess of Buren, arrived in London yesterday from Holland. Her Majesty disembarked at Woolwich• ai:d was received by his Excellency Baron Bentinck 51inister for the Netherlands at the Court of St. James's, who attended her Majesty to Claridge's Hotel, where a suite of state apartments have been engaged for hPr Majesty. The Queen is accompanied by her younger son, the Prince Alexandre of the Netherlands. After the arrival of her Majesty at Claridge's hotel, she was visited by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Prince Frederick William left Buckingham Palace yesterday evening, for Germany, attended by Baron de Moltke. The Countess do Neuilly and the Duke and Duchesi de Montpensier visited her Majesty yesterday at Buck ingham Palace.

They propose to furnish it as a specimen of what Berlin can manufacture in every article of cotntort, taste, luxury, and splendour. DIIFLEY GALLERY, PICCADILLY.—Madame Sievers gave a concert yesterday mornini, by permission of Lord Wart, which went off with great eclat, and was attended by the elite of the fashionable world now in town. Madame Sievers is a laiy of most distinguished talent as a composer and artiste. Her rad .dies are o iginsl, and remarkable for their exquisite harmonies iu the accom • panimente. She played and sung several times, her singing always being in character with. the music she was exe cuting, her phrasing being replete with expression and taste. She is a perfect accompanyist, both on the piano and the harmonium of Debain, to which she sung some of her most charming melodies. Madame Sievers was assisted by several talented artistes, including Signorina Finel;, who sung one of the fair bcizefleiarc's French songs, most exquisitely. THREE BOYS DROWNED,— On Sunday last, about half- past 5 o'clock in the evening, three boys were drowned while bathing, near Otley, Yorkshire. Two of the un fortuna'e youths were brothers, being sons of Mr. Thomas Smith, of Guiseley, cloth manufacturer, and aged respectively 16 and 14 ; the other was their cousin, 13 years of age, and was a son of Mr. Joseph Smith, of the came place, cloth manufacturer and farmer. The deceased, none of whom could swim, were bathing in a reservoir between Otley and Menston, which is shallow at the sides, but very deep about the middle. The younger of the two brothers, not being awa-e of the danger, suddenly got in the deep water, and his elder brother, in his endeavours to save him, was also dragged in. Their cousin, who was using a rail, for the pur pose of learning to swim, held it out, and both the bro. tilers seized it, but, unhappily, they pulled him ir , too. TEE, b,,ys were not got out until they had I), ,en In the wats:r 20 minuteg, and all attempts to re - ' . imi 4‘ ;ore animation failed. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q C.) LAMBERT V. CANSDELL. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.—The plaintiff in this action is a meat salesman in Leadenhall Market, and defendant is a retail butcher in the same place, and the action was brot ght to recover the sum of 51. for meat sold. Mr. Gant appeared for the plaintiff, and no one ap peared for the defendant. The case was proved. His Hononr—Well, we will say she shall pay 103. a week. Mr. Gant—Your Honour, see how long it will take :o pay. His Honour—Well, about 12 weeks. Mr. Gant—The expenses are nearly half as much as the debt. She ought to have paid it months ago. My client only gets a small commission of half per cent. ; and has to pay whether he gets paid or not. His Honour—This Court is not a court for punish- meat but for the recovery of debts—and we must get the money the best way we can-103. a week. Now the next case. LAMBERT V. CANSDELL. Mr. Gant—ln this case the plaintiff is the son of the plaintiff in the last case, and it is for meat supplied, but the facts differ as it almost amounts to obtaining goods under false pretences, as she promised to pay the same day. The plaintiff proved the case. His Honour—We will make the same order. Mr. Gant—No, I must ask for the common order for immediate payment. His Honour—Nonsense—immediate payment—she can't pay—you wouldn't get your money at all then. Mr. Gant—That is my look out. His Honour—How, sir Your look out—it's my look out. I don't consult you. Do you think lam a mere tool, to do as the plaintiff pleases ? I am to look after the interest of the defendant, and make an order according to her means. lam called upon by the Act of Parliament to do so, and I shall do so. You will have the opportunity of telling some one else about it, and you may tell them that I will do so. I will do justice to the defendant. Mr. Gant—lnjustice to the plaintiff. His Honour—l shall order according to her means. Mr. Gaut—You know nothing about them. A person here stepped forward and said that he was instructed to appear for the defendant, and produced the summonses. His Honour—l don't believe you have been instructed at all. I believe you got the papers from some one else, and sent them away. Agent—l was instructed yesterday. lie then offered ) pay 11. a month in each case. Mr. Gant—These instalments ruin plaintiffs, and the ju lges were of that opinion, and in the last County Court Act there was an especial clause prohibiting the giving time, except with the consent of the plaintiff. His Honour—There is no such clause. Mr. Gant—Your Honour will pardon me repeating that there is. His Honour—Oh, yes. I'll pardon your saying it, and proving it, if you can, but you can't. Mr. Gant—l will send you a copy of the Act. His Honour—Thank you, but I dare say I can get one. I will send to the Queen's Printers when I want one. There ie no such cl-iuse in the act. It would be a monstrous thing, it would be absurd. Plaintiff—l believe she can pay. His Honour—And I believe she cannot. Plaintiff—She took it late on Saturday, night but would not pay the man, but said she would pay me her. self, but on going on Monday she said she could not. His Honour—Of course not; the money was gone. She had a necessity for it. That gets rid of the second scandalous and caluminous assertion that she got the goods under false pretences. She went to pay. Pliintiff—But not at the time promised. His Honour—l don't believe she can pay. Mr. Gant—She wont pay when she knows by ex. perience that she can get ,off here ,by paying 10s. a week. The Agent said the defendant was now paying 1/. a month under an order of this Court and 30s. a month under an order of the Lord Mayor's Court. His Honour—Then you see— Mr. Gant—l am an attorney of the Lord Mayor's Court, and no time is given without the consent of the plaintiff. His Honour—Well, I sha►nt order her to pay excep by instalments. Order accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLI3OItOUII-STREET. ARTFUL ROBBERY ON A COMMERCIAL HOUSE BY A FORGED CHEQUE.—IRidore :Seymour, a Frenclimao, was charged before Mr. Bingham with the following artful robbery at the house of Mr. T. Bulgham, commercial house proprietor, No. 11, Panton-square, with robbing him by means of a forged cheque. The prosecutor stated that on Monday last, about 8 o'clock, the prisoner came to his house and asked if be could have a breakfast. He told the prisoner that his charge was 255. a week, and that he should require him to pay at the ebd of every week. The prisoner bad no breakfast, but offered to pay him four week© in advance, and be produced a cheque on the Union Bank for 101. Prosecutor observed that his change would be 51.. The prisoner offered to take 41., remarking that he would call another time for the 11. As soon as he had the 41. he left. Mr. Bingham—What did you do with the cheque ? When did you present it ? Prosecutor—l presented it the same day, when I found that no person of the name attached to the cheque cashed at the bank. (The cheque, which was dated July 13, 1857, had written on it, "Ten pounds to be pail on the 13th July.) Mr. Bingham—W hen did you see the prisoner aga'n ? Prosecutor—Last night, sir, at the Argyll Hotel, Great Windmill-street. Police-constable Brown, A 91, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody, and he remarked that he committed the robbery as he was in want of money. The prisoner, who made the same defence, was re manded for a week. SOUTHWARK. ASSAULT AND RoßßEßY.—Henry Nightingale, a tall, lazy looking young fellow, and Mary Brian, a notorious prostitute, were charged with assaulting John M‘William and robbing him on the Queen's highway. The prosecutor, who exhibited a severe bruise over the right eye, stated that be was a 'traveller, and had just came off a journey from the West of England, and on the previous night, while going home along the Ber mondsey New Road, he was stopped lay the male pri soner, who wanted him to treat him. He told him to get away and not annoy him, when be pushed him down. making use of an oath, and ransacked his pockets. For tunately for witness, he had very little money about hiaa, and that was secreted in a pocket under his waistcoat. While attempting to get up the female prisoner came to wards him and gave him a blots on the eye. At that time t constable came up, and both pris mere were given into custody. The magistrate asked him :whether the female at tempted to rob him ? The prosecutor replied in the negative. She came up after the man had rifled his pockets. The Magistrate asked him what he had been robbed of ? He said that the only thing he lost was his packet hand. kerchief, but the intention of the man was to steal his money. The male prisoner here declared that it was all false what the prosecutor had stated. He never pushed him down or attempted to rob him, but the facts were these. The prosecutor attacked him, and in self defence they both fell down. The Magistrate asked whether he meant to say he did not steal the handkerchief. The prisoner said yes—He never had it. Magistrate—Then I shall send you before a jury, as I am of opinion that you not only stole the handker chief but intended to rob him of all he bad. I don't think however that the female is connected with you in that way, therefore I shall not commit her. The man then said it was no use going to trial, he should plead guilty and have it settled at once. Th, female said she was drunk and did not know what she was about. The Magistrate sentenced Nightingale to four months, and fined the female 51., or two months. SWEARING IN OP MR.

FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Lord Palmerston is said to be among the distin guished persons iuvital to Fonbinebleau during the Queen's visit there. A private telegraphic despatch from Constanti nople, published in the French papers yesterday, announced that the Persia❑ troops had refused to evacuate Herat, and were fortifying it. This in telligence is completely unfounded. The Moniteur publishes despatches received by Marshal Valliant from the Governor-General of Algeria. The following is an extract in which an account is given of the proceedings of the division of General Maissiat from the 27th to the 30th ult. : —" After having bivouacked on the 26th near the Bordj-Akban, the division of General Maissait, in ascending on the 27th to the Col de Chellata, found the high points of ground which command that place defended by strong entrenchments occupied by numerous Kabyle4. The brigade Desmarset by making a circuitous movement on the left, soon compelled the Kabyles to abandon their posi tions, and retire to the rock of Tizibert, while the brigade Margadel continued its advance to the Col. The Tizibert is an enormous rock, with steep sides, which commands the entrance to the Col. Its summit is crowned by a natural wall, to which the Kabyles have added other defences with loop-boles for musketry, and which they appeared to be re solved to defend with obstinacy. After firing a few rounds of artillery, Colonel Desmarest ordered a part of his force to scale the rock in front, while another part were sent to attack it in the rear. The enemy replied to the attack by a well-directed fire, and rolled down large stones on the heads of their aszailants. The French soldiers, however, reached the summit before it had been evacuated by its defenders, and several of these latter were killed on the spot by the Zouaves. The loss of the Kabyles is estimated at 25 killed and more than 50 wounded. The French had four killed and 30 wounded, and among the latter three of 1 cars. On the 27th,,, General Maissiat was esta blished on the Plateau of Chellata. On the 28th, the troops were allowed to rest ; but on the 29th, they attacked and carried the village of M'Zien, as well as some other villages near. In these attacks the French had 17 killed and 97 wounded, and among the latter was Colonel de Margadel, who was struck by a ball in the shoulder. The enemy had 63 killed and 125 wounded. On the 30th, General Maissiat attacked and gained possession of the village of Ait-Azis, which was very strongly entrenched and defended with great obstinacy. During a part of the time the fighting was coin , pletely point blank, the French soldiers advancing so close to the loop-holes that they caught bold of the muskets of the Kabyles. The French had 19 killed and 64 wounded, the Arabs 28 and 55, ex clusive of those who were removed." A Berlin letter in the Constitutionnel states that as it appears certain that the recent events in Italy were planned in London, the Austrian Go vernment has requested the Prussian Cabinet to address a note to the English Government, praying it to exercise active surveillance over the foreign refugees in England, or, in other words,, to modify the laws relative to them. The reply of Prussia to the demand is, - says the letter, not yet known. Letters from Vienna in the Boersenhalle of Ham burg and in the Avsburg Gazette affirm that the Italian power 3, including Austria, intend to address a joint demand to the English Cabinet not to allow Mazzini and his fellows to remain in Eogland.

We have received Constantinople journals and letters to the 4th, via Trieste. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, on the previous day, l iad had a long con ference with the French Ambassador, after which ke had an interview with Reschid Pacha. Although nothing positive was known relative to what tr.ins pired at those Conferences, yet it was gen.erally re ported that the British AmbassadOr had 'received instructions from his Government to submit to the Porte, on the subject of the Principalities, a propo sition calculated to satisfy all interests. Every mail which arrived from the Moldo-Wallachian provinces was said to bring account s of f res h arbi trary acts committed by the Caimacan of Moldavia, who in reply to any observations male to him said that as he was on, the spot he knew much better how to act than the Ministers at Constanti nop l e . The Turkish Ministers had not yet replied to the last note presented by the repr esen t t ti ves o f F rance, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia, and it was not con sidered likely that any delib era ti on on it wou ld take place until after the fetes. The diplomatic difference which had arisen with the Court of Naples has been settled, Prince Callimaki being accepted as ambassador, and Dr. Spitzer as charge d'afralres. The latter, on the occa . the si title o nof his appointment, has b een p romo t e d t o f functionary of the first rank second elas=, and hai received the decoration of command er . of the order of Medjidie. The fetes for the circum cision of the young princes still continued.

TUSCANY. FLORENCE.--A rumour is very prevalent in well-informed circ l es , and is g ainin g g round ever y day that the Pope's vi sit to Florence will be signa lised by the most calamatous of all events to Tus cany—by the conclusion of a very stringent con cordat, and the entire repeal of the Leopoldine laws. Of all that. is alarming and unpopular in such an announcement it is hardly possible for any but Tuscans to form a distinct idea ' • indeed it is no exaggeration to say that an Eoglishman can only realise the extent of such a danger by supposing all our own statute-3 controlling the clergy, both before and since the Reformation, to be abolished at one fell swoop, and the Church to be armed anew with the inquisitorial powers and privileges which it held in the days of a Becket or a Dunstan. DIAR,KET NEWB.—(This Day.) CORE EXCHANGE. Fresh up, to-d a y, only a limited supply of English wheat reached us ; but the stands were well-filled with Monday's unsold samples. The attendance of millers was small, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro duce ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat in the market. S *les were wholly confined to retail parcels, at barely stationary prices. Barley and malt were in fair request, at full quotations. Good sound oats moved off steadily at full prices : but oat of condition qualities were dull. Baans and peas were q uite as dear as on Monday. Flour was very dull, and lower to purchase.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, accompanied by Lietit Cowal, Royal Engineers, went down to Woolwich yesterday morning, where he passed up wards of three hours in the inspection of the Arsenal, visiting in succession the foundry, the machine making department, Royal carriage square, store houses, &c., and repaired thence to the Royal re pository, visiting the rotunda; and was shown the different exercises used in the Royal 'Artillery ser vice, such as pontooning, rafting, and the use of the various machines for transporting guns and car riages. The young Prince afterwards visited the Royal Military Academy; and was shown over the establishment, in the absence .of Colonel Wilford, the governor, by Quartermaster Elliott. His Royal Highness was taken through the Cadets' workshops, museum, dining-hall, reading-room, studies, bar rack-rooms, gymnasium, racket-court, &c. He was for a considerable time engaged in exaining draw ings, in water colours and peucilings, by the pupils of the institution, and expressed himself extremely gratified with his visit. Before leaving the enclo sure he had the opportunity of witnessing a couple of rounds of mortar praCtice over the usual range ot 700 yards. The firing was marked with peculiar precision, the shells falling thickly around the flag staff. The Prince left Woolwich at half-past four, 1 returning to London over Blackheath. • Orders were yesterday received at Chatham for the following officers and non-commissioned officers and men to embark at Gravesend, in vessels taken up by the Hon.

The first portion of the 7th Royal Fusileers em barked for India yesterday morning on board the Sir George Seymour, 850 tons, Captain Naylor, at Portsmouth. Dockyard. The troops marched to the jetty from their quarters in first-rate order, and w ent on board under the superintendence of Major- General Breton, Admiral Sir George Seymour, A ss istant-Quartermaster -General Wright, Brigade- Major Nelson, &c. They are a fine body of men, seemed in good spirits at again going on active service. The draught consisted ot 10 sergeants, 213 rank and file, with 16 women and 18 children. The following' are the officers :—Lienteuant-eolo nel R. Y. Shipley, Brevet-Major F. E. Apple yard, Captain T. W. Marten, Lieutenants H. W. C. Thurston, C. S. Courtenay, H. E. W. Rum bold, M.

The ship was towed to Spithead yesterday afternoon, and will sail this morning for Kurrachee. _ _ The Surrey freight ship, arrived at Spithead on Mon lay evening from the Thames, and went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to be surveyed, prior to the embarkation of the second portion of the 88th Connaught Rangers for India thrs day. They will sail to-morrow for Calcutta. The mayor and corporation and the borough ma gic rates of Portsmouth hive voted addresses to Major-General Breton, Lieut.-Governor of that garrison, &c., thauk;ng him for Lii uniform cour t•sy and attention in communicating with the civil power, regretting his depwture, and congratulatinc , him on his succeding to the more lucrative appoint ment of Major-General on the Staff of the Com mander-in-Chief of the Mauritius ; to which the General has addressed suitable replies. The Norman Morrison, freight ship, having dis embarked the remainder of the 36 - th Regiment, w h o m she brought from Jamaica , , ie a l u d d fr ( o l m ischargedher transport fittings and stores, sailed Ports mouth on Monday evening for the Thames. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning smeke was oh fF,,rved if.auiag from the hold of the convict hulk Defence, moored off Woolwich Arsenal, which on a closer examination was discovered to originate in the fore part of the ship, where al - lout 200 or 300 tons of coals were housed fur the use of the esta blishment. Every part of the huge vessel was soon filled with smoke, and the whole of the inmates were hastily removed tothe invalid hulk lying along side, called the Unite. Ei her from wait of ven tilation or some other cause the entire body of fuel had become ignited, it is supposed, from sponta neous combustion caused by the confinement of the gas. The united fire brigades, maint4ined at the Royal Arsenal and Dockyar I, under the direction of Inspectors Thompson and Budd, were promptly in att..ndance, and powerful efforts were made to extinguish the fire. It was not, however, extin guished for some hours. There is a probability of the fire having been occasioned by a spark from a. pipe of one of the convicts while picking oakum, although the regulations of the establishment strictly forbid the use of tobacco, which regulation, however, it is said, is relaxed in the case of artain invalids. THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE. It is hardly premature to state as a general im- pre , sion that - the case for the Crown wit; materially strengthened on Monday by the production at the police-office as a witness of Joseph Spollen, an in telligent boy of 14 years of age, the second . son of the prisoner. His direct examination elicited i•eve- raliMportant disclosures, which, if not disproved hereafter, wonld go far towards 'completing the link of circumstantial evidence already in proof against the accused, and in his cross-examinat ion by the prisonet's counsel his testimony was but little shaken—at least, as regarded the more striking por- ' tions of his evidence. He was examined by Mr. Fitzgibbon, the Queen's counsel, wh o u p on this occasion led for the Crown. The witness, after stating that he remembered the night when Mr. Little lost his life, said—l was at the window of the room in which I took my tea, when I first saw my father that evening. I was standing at the win dow looking out. I saw him through the window —he was on the roof of the old forge. That was i the first time I saw him after he went out from dinner. Lucy was at the window with me when I saw my father on the roof of the forge. There was no one with my father. Ido not know where any mother was at that time. She was not in the room in which I was. James was in the room. I don't remember how long she was..out of the room. I remember her going out of the room into the ball. I saw her agaiii ; fdid not see Ler going out of hall. I did not see mymother anywhere at the time I saw my father on the roof of the old forge. It was about 8 o'clock when I saw him there. It was a moonlight night. He looked like as if he was put tng atones down into the chimney belonging to the oi.d forge. There are four or five chimneys there. The chimney he was at is not the nearest to our own house, looking out of the window. It is the second nearest. He was as if he had a ladder or a plauk across from the roof of the forge to the set off on the chimney. He was standing on ei ther a ladder or a plank. His head was higher t'ian the top of the chimney. I did not see him getting down. He was like as if he was putting stones down the chimney. I did not see my father any more th a t even i ng . I saw m y mother again that evening in the room. I think I went tq bed after that. Ido not know what became of Lucy. I went to bed in the room next to where got tea. I have no recollection whether Lucy went into that room or not. I did not see any' thing more of my father and mother that night. We generally sleep in the same room. James, George, and Lucy sleep in the same room. I ofiee saw the razors my father used to shave with. The handles were white. I should know them. (Three razors, two of them in a flat, red-coloured ease , were shown to the witness.) Witness identifiedtwo of the razors as his father'O. (One of the two razors identified by the witness as belonging to his father is the razorlast found in the canal, and on which the name " Spollen ie written. The razor found in November was not ooe of the three shown. The other two shown have ne t 4 ben produced before.) (A piece of calico found with the money cow cealed was here produced.) Where did you see the cloth before Saturday ` 1 "" Out in the house where he kept the sticks. When ?—About a week before Mr. Little's cleat"' My sister used to make a duster of it. It was 1 1 ? t at that time in the same state as it is now. again produced.) That hole was not in it. It vire: nearly in the shape of a sun bonnet. My fatherhad a putty knife and a hacking hammer for taki v b out glass. He had a large hammer in the housei I often saw it. I should know it. I did not sec I since Mr. Little's death. The razor and the pie of cloth were shown to me on Saturday by ov: Kemmis and Mr. Rae. They also showed me thre' t hammers. One of them was the hammer I saw" 8 i our own house before Mr. Li t tl e ' s d ea th . One: 0 them was thelammer I said a whil e ago I . did ne t see since Mr. Little's death. (Three hammers pr °". duced to witness, including th e one f oun d in th canal ; identifies a hammer—not that found it'll' canal.) I did not see that (that identified) since ,00.1 :; Little's death. Before that I saw it in the worksh ( 4 where the sticks were. It was clean then. Tbc' t was no putty on it as there is now. My fatb. e t used to have the hacking hammer over in the pa l ' ) 4 shop near the locomotives. I remember the da y the people were making a rout about Mr. Litat e death. I remember the police being about 0 place searching. I think they came to'our house; I heard of Mr. Little's death on a Friday night• saw my father at the chimney on Thursday nig I heard of Little's death the evening after, abou t o o'clock. He said if I was 'asked by any of tiV at anything to say I did not know. This was t it was found wilful murder. at After this witness had. been .- cross-examin great length, James Spollen, a lad about 18 or 19 years 011 0 ' was examined, but, upon the whole, his evido o ; which seemed to be given with great re luctauc l ; was not very material for the prosecution. .At 1 close, Mr. Curran, for the prisoner, submitted 6 9 0 notwithstanding the mass of evidence that had be e j adduced, a cue had not been mad e ou t f or a ley " tribunal. After a few remarks from Mr. Fitzgibbon; reply, the prisoner was again remanded. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
