The more detailed intelligence by the Overland Mail, which appeared in The Su of yesterday, has not in any degree altered the general aspect of affairs, or varied the prospects of the speedy and complete suppression of the mutiny. Details were given of the deepest interest to those who had relatives or friends in the disturbed districts. In many instances their hopes or fears were con firmed, either by the glad tidings of the escape of the objects of their solicitude, or of their deplora ble but not dishonoured deaths. In others, where these points were involved in obscurity, data were given, by which the chances could be calculated, and tolerably accurate guesses hazarded respecting the fate of the fugitives. But, as we had anticipated, there was nothing of any importance, so far as the nation was concerned, beyond that which was communicated by the telegraphic accounts which were so promptly and so handsomely published by the Government im mediately on the receipt thereof. It is true that there was another rumour re specting the fall of Delhi. This purporteri to have been received by a Bombay jour,al, by telegraph from Nagpore on the 27th of June. It, however, bears a very suspicious resem blance to that received a fortnight before by the preceding mail, and referred to private letters from Ajmere as the authority. It also spoke of 7,000 of the mutineers having been slain, and the fierce manner in which they contested every inch of ground. These are all the points of the previ ous statement completely renewed ; and, as we have other authentic accounts which show that no organised attack had taken place up to that timo, we must believe that " the wish was father to the thought," and the rumour was without the slightest particle of foundation. We are happy to find that the mutinies which have taken place have not been characterised by atrocities similar to those that shocked the nation a fortnight since. There have been many cold blooded murders, but, generally speaking, they were rather acts of isolated vengeance, or were perpetrated, not by the mutineers on their officers, but by the bands of armed miscreants who were patrolling the country in search of plun der and of victims. English women were not, however, subjected to treatment far worse than de ath) nor was there the refinement of brutality manifested, so conspicuous on the first outbreak. In many eases the mutiny, Sepoy soldiers, although in open p r otected the officers and their families, and gave them a certain time to escape. Although tainted by disaff,,, a On, and won over to the cause of revolt, they snow e d dthat they had no personal in juries to ave nge . Thug, at Moradabad two hours were cc.needed to the ofacers to escape, with their familii,:s and their private property, by means whereof the whole of the officers of the 29th Regi ment, and lie residents with their families, were enabled t: escape to Nynee Tel the day after the arriv . P. l L of the Bareilly refugees. officers were all owe d At Fyzabad, in Oude, the quietly to embark. The 22d Regiment here, against the will of their co-conspirators, "guarded their officers and their bungalows, after mutinying, placed sentinels over magazines and all public property, seat out pickets to prevent the towns people and servants from " looting," and after a Qouncil of War informed the officers that they might take with them their private arms and effects, but no public property, as that belonged to the King of Oade." The officers were even pre sented with 900 rupees from the public treasury, in order to f,:tilitate their escape. Unfortunately many sabh?quent!y f ll victims to detached patties way of inquiring whether the gentlemen who gave their honest and dispassionate opinions respecting the prospects of the undertaking were prepared to advance the capital, or to be responsible if their calculations broke down. The Right Honourable Gentleman is the last man who should venture on such a line of argu• , ment. Has he any recollection of the " GLAD STONE abortion," and the enormous loss to the Excheger by his own dabbling with the conversion scheme? Is he prepared to be personally respon sible for the breaking down of that notable pro• jest ? We -fancy that it would require more than his family received, for compensation, under the twenty million grant !for the abolition of slavery in the West Indie.4,—and that was no trifling Rum- t o replace the funds squandered on that ridiculous scheme. Even he could not deny that, if carried out as it might be, with very trifling assistance from the nation, it would greatly lessen the distance, and still more mate rially lessen the time required for communi cating with, and receiving intelligence from India. And who that has witnessed the intense anxiety usually manifested for authentic tidings from the disturbed districts, would not say that it Would be cheaply purchased at ten times the required cost, all that Mr. GLADSTONE and the red-tapist coterie could, babble to the contrary notwithstanding? But this was not all, he attempted to ride off on a collateral issue ; and in reference to the Euphrates Railway scheme gave utterance to a pack of unmitigated trash in reference to the union of the Danubian Principalities. Lord PALMERSTON spoke in a very different tone, but while acknowledging the great value of the undertaking, declared that he could not hold cut " the slightest encouragement that the Government would be disposed directly or indi rectly, to advance any money for the attainment of that end." This is at all events candid, although it may be disagreeable. It is not feeding the parties who have advanced their money with false hopes or delusive expectations. It permits them to judge and act for themselves. But, al though in strict accordance with routine, it is not in accordance with the true interests of the nation. It is but folio wing the precedents that have been so loudly and justly complained of—that have opposed official impediments to those who ought to be regarded as benefactors, not merely of England, but of mankind, and tried to arrest every improvement, if not by direct opposi tion, by that which is even more intolerable—by coldness, apathy, and indifference to projects that ought to obtain the most zealous support and co operation. We hail the offer of University Examinati3ns for Degrees to Candidates,- from all kinds of edu cational insti t utions, as one of the best educational schemes of the day. For our part, we should have been well pleased if Oxford and Cambridge had been prepared to confer the same degree on those who had studied without their college walls, as on those who had been trained within them. The usual appendage of the graduate's college would have then become a little more common, as the distinction of those NS lio bad enjoyed college discipline ; and the degree would have been the uniform measure of certain intellectual attainments. It seems hardly necessary that it should be a cer tificate of the peculiar social training of the old universities. We do not, however, complain. On the contrary, we thank the universities for the scheme they are now completing, and feel confi dent it will prove a great stimulus to middle class education. Every private tutor, and every commercial I school, as well as institutions of a more pretentious character, will feel its influence. In a few years it will be difficult for any man to secure attention to his school unless the teachers in it have passed a university examination, while the wish of every parent will be that his son should be competent to face the ordeal, and of every boy of spirit to attain the honours, valuable for all of havin g passed it. future life, With our views of the whole question, we are oratified to see that the Senate of the University of London proposes to open its examinations for degrees in the more complete form which are here indicated. It is in position to do so with greater ease than the two old universities, since the Affiliated Colleges aro nearly independent o f it ; they are at least in no way amenable to the I University for their genexal Goyernment, or for THE 6tT NT, LONDON ) SAT Uit DAY VENING AU G -US r 15; 8 6 7, of mutineers—or possibly to the plunderers — and robbers who had been liberated from the gaols. Still, facts such as those above narrated, form pleasing episodes among the deplorable scenes of crime and outrage perpetrated at other stations. At Bareilly the ladies and children had fortu nately been sent off to the hills before the out break. The Sepoys had made the strongest pro fessions of fidelity and loyalty, and entreated their officers to bring back their families, assuring them of the utter inutility of the precautions they bad taken. Fortunately they did not yield to their representationsi, and when the outbreak commenced they were enabled to rejoin their families, after a painful ride of seventy miles. They have now a camp at Nynee Tal, which, with the assistance of the refugees from other stations, they may be enabled to hold against any of of the rebel troops that may be brought against them. The worst feature of the crisis has passed away. The recovery, although it may be slow, will be sure. No reasonable doubt can be entertained respecting the termination of the contest. Great care and energetic exertions will necessarily be required. We must strain every nerve to the uttermost ; but the issue, under PROVIDENCE, 18 now safe. The native bankers know it, and are eagerly purchasing up Government securities at the depressed rates, that will allow a large profit to themselves ; and this confidence is the surest proof of the opinion of those most competent to form a correct judgment. They would not part with their dearly•loved rupees if any reasonable doubt could be entertained as to the result. The vast importance of the Euphrates Railway line was last night ventilated in the House of Commons by Mr. ESTCOURT. The Hon. Gentle man went through the arguments that have already appeared in The sum, and explained how a very small pecuniary assistance would not merely facilitate but ensure its speedy construction, and give to the nation all the advantages which it offers in the way of more speedy communication with India, and also of giving a second line that would be available in the event of any distur bance occurring to that now in operation. The genius of red-tapisn3, however, triumphed. Mr. GLADSTONE, who acted as a self-constituted aide de-camp to Sir CrEORGE CORNEWALL LEWIS— a sort of amateur Chancellor of the Exche- quer—came out with all the stereotyped arguments against Government assistance to pri vate enterprise, although that enterprise may be directed into quarters of the greatest public utility. He uttered dreary platitudes about "viewing a guarantee with an instinctive aver- sion and almost horror," and perpetrated some thing that was intended to pass as wit, in the their mode of training and teaching. All our readirs should, however, understand the precise character of the tuiverity, and the position of the parties concerned in this question. It is a body chartered by the Crown, and the Senate, or governing body, is nominated by the crown. Of Late years, however, the graduates have been as- serting their claim to share, by convocation, in the government of the University. A committee of them has worked long and successfully for that purpose, and the New Charter is now under the consideration of the Crown, the Senate, and the Graduates' committee. Comparatively recently, the Senate has avowed the opinion that the surrender of the old charter, and the grant of a new one, is the appropriate time to open the university examinations to all corners ; but, what ought not to have been looked for, the graduates ar© opposed to this being done l They wish, at least, that, as in Oxford and Cam bridge, the Degree given should distinguish be tween those who have been trained in affiliated institutions and those who have not. Already these alur►tni of the radical University have begun to develope the tendencies to exclusiveness of all class and corporate bodies. _ _ _ The Senate, in its answers to all that the Graduates Committee have been able to advance, has decidedly the best of the argument. It shows that the thirty-eight institutions now affiliated with the University, stands in a very different re lation to it to that borne by the Colleges at Oxford and Cambridge to their respective Universities. In London the University is not " a teaching and supervising body, maintaining discipline over the Colleges and exercising direct authority over the students." Its functionaries, instead of alter nating with the Colleges, are in no way connected, except by accident, with any College. Neither are the University, or its government, in a posi• tion to undertake such supervision and govern ment as forms an essential reit of the Oxford and Cambridge system ; not even if it were wished they should do it. The Senate also appeals to a practical test. Already it has admitted candidates for matriculation, and also to a second exami nation for matriculation, with honours, from all kinds of educational institutions. With but this slight encouragement, fully one-third of those who have passed both examinations have been from institutions not affiliated. The inference seems indubitable, that wore the full advantages of the Uuniversity examinations and degrees thrown open to all, the proportion of candidates from all sources would be very large. On the particular facts of the case, therefore, we must regard the Senate as having the entire argument on their side, and we sincerely hope the Crown will be advised to concur in its view. The Graduates, indeed, allege that the value of a degree will be lowered, since it ought to be, they say, a certificate of both College training and educational attainments. To the former it is justly replied that the Senate cannot, and does not now, give a certificate of College training, since it has no means of enforcing anything worthy of the name, or even of knowing in what way the training is conducted in the affiliated colleges. As to lowering the value of a degree, that cannot occur if the examinations are what they should be ; and it is the decided intention of the Senate to sustain a thoroughly high character for them. The examinations will not be a test of aristocratic education, but they will be a test of such an edu cation as will place those who obtain degrees in tellectually on a level with, and perhaps above, the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge. Looking at the whole question, we must think that the graduates of the London University have taken a false position. Their institution originated in a desire to afford to the great body of the middle classes all the advantages of an education at the old universities. It was known, of course, that the advantage, whatever that may be, of association with the scions of aristocracy, could never be obtained by it. The Upper Ten Thou sand would continue to send their sons to the traditional banks of the Cam and the Isis. But the advantage of a first-rate education, and. of entering life with a trustworthy certificate of such an education, were opened to the middle classes. Yet we now find the elite of those classes coming forward to prevent the full extension of the ad vantages of their institution to their own section of the community ! They ought to be amongst the most earnest supporters of the liberal views of the Senate. It cannot surely be denied that the thirty-eight affiliated institutions form but a small part indeed of the sources whence aspirants to university honours might come. There must be a large number of schools which could furnish many ; and there is no conceivable reason why the pri vate tutor of three or four or half a dozen lads, who has, perhaps, a special aptitude for his work, should miss the honour justly belonging to him; still less reason why his pupils, placed with him by parental solicitude frequently, and for the best moral reasons, should lose the benefit of the cer tificate to which their attainments give them a just title. A body of graduates belonging, as those of the London University do, exclusively to the middle classes, might be expected to be the most zealous advocates of everything which could improve the character of middle•class education. We can hardly conceive of anything more likely to do so than examinations for degrees, which offer a direct premium for exertion to tutors and schools of every kind. Let the Senate be firm, and London University will become indeed a benefactor to the country. NEW HOPS. SUN-OFFICE, SATURDAY. RECEIVED AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK. 227, Borough, Aug. 15th, 1857.

Mr. Wyld has just produced an excellent sketch of the far-famed capital of the ancient Moguls— its fort and cantonment, situate on the river Jumna, which runs along its walls. The ruins of ancient Delhi are to the south of Shajehanahad, or modern Delhi, which includes the king's palace, close upon the Jumna, with its walls fortified by bastions, and numerous gates and cantonments stretching to the north-west to the, extent of about five miles along the river Jumna, which runs rapidly in the rainy season.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. By fin imperial decree, issued on the occasion of the Emperor's fete, Tice-admiral du Petit-Thouars INAUGURATION OF THE LOUVRE; has been promoted to the rank of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour; M. Berenger, President of the Court of Cassation ; Vice-Admiral Charn.er, and Count de Salignac-Fene!on, French Minister in Switzerland, to that of Grand Officer ; and Baron de Perigord, Minister Plenipotentiary on special mission to the Danubian Principalities, to that of commander. The list contains 32 promo tions to the rank of Officer, and 156 nominations t• thrt of Knight in the samo order. Cardinal Morlot, Archbishop of Paris, has been named Grand Almoner to the Emperor. Mgr. Menjaud, Bishop of Nancy and first chaplain to the Emperor, has been promoted to the rank of Commander in the Legion of Honour. The Moniteur contains an Imperial decree mak ing a number of promotions and appointments in the higher ranks of the magistracy. The Emperor, on the occasion of his fete; has granted pardons, commutations, or reduction of punishments to 1,142 persons confined at the bagnes and other penitentiary establishments. Tibaldi, Grilli, and Bartolotti have not appealed to the Court of Cassation, and the time allowed them for appealing has now expired. The Debats contains the following remarks on the statement of Lord Palmerston in Parliament relative to the Moldavian elections : _ have to tLallr you for thelinsertion of my ,etter of the uth, and mark with satisfaction the tone in which you treat the subject of the Danu bian Principalities. Correct premises are the key stones of argument. Nine-tenths of the press dis cuss the question from false premises. Moldavia and Wallachia are not—never have been, and I trust never may become—provinces of Turkey. In proof, vide their history ab initio—their treaties with the. Porte—their representatives at the Court of the Sultan—Election of Princes—Autonomy-- European Protectorate, &c. - The April numb. rs of the Edinburgh and of the Westminster Reviews may enlighten some of your readers. The Sublime Porte is most anxious to convert the Principalities into provinces, in which attempt Austria and Britain back him up. This is not kindness to Turkey, although it would be destruction to the Roumans. The Moldo-Wallachians ask no favours—they demand rights—rights recognised by Eurk pC', which Austria and Turkey would fain see annulled. Bill.- garia and Roumelia are Turkish provinces. Would you rank Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia in the same category ? Turkey formerly made the attempt in Servia that she is now making in Servians had not the promises of assembled Europe to rely on, but they had Kara Georgy, and stout hands and hearts—Turkey ac knowledged her mistake, and the Serbs rectified it for her. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Emperor naturally desired that the cere mony of the inauguration of the Louvre should coincide with the anniversary of the birth of his undo, which he has adopted as the anniversary of his own fete. The inscriptions intended to corn_ memorate the date of the foundation of the Palace of the Louvre were, by a curious coincidence, only discovered yesterday. To them is annexed the date of its completion. Both are now affixed to the front of the Pavillon Sully, which is right op posite the central Pavillon—the Pavillon d'Hor loge—of the Palace of the Tuileries. They are engraved in golden letters on slabs of black marble, and are to this effect :—" 1541, Francis I. com mences the Louvre ; 1564, Catherine de Medicis commences the Tuileries; 18524857, Napoleon 111 connects the Tuileries with the Louvre." The ceremony of inauguration took place this day at two o'clock. Long)3efore that hour crowds of people thronged the Rue de Rivoli, the quays, and the other approaches to the Palace. The Place du Carrousel, from the triumphal arch of the Tui- leries clown to the Pavillon Sully, was occupied by troops—the National Guard on the left, and the Zouaves and a battalion or two of the line to the right. The entrance was by the Pavillon Denon (the pavilions are named after men dis tinguished in the arts and sciences), which is to " The declaration of Lord Palmerston in the House of Commons was perfectly clear and satis factory ; it confitms all that was reported in Paris concerning the result of the conference of Osborne. The question of the Moldavian elections which di vided the great powers may be said to have been settled by means of a common accord between France and England. As far as regards those two powers, a difference of opinion no longer exists. It is difficult, therefore, to understand the doubts and comments raised by certain journals which are still harping on a fresh convocation of the Paris conference. Why should the latter be convoked What question would be submitted to it ? Surely not that of the annulment of the Moldavian elec tions, for that question has been solved. It is very evident that the conferences of Osborne have rendered completely useless the conferences of Paris. What will be the policy of Turkey, of Austria, after the sudden change of England r We have seen that in . the opinion of Lord Pal merston that question is already answered ; with out knowing the private motives which led the Premier to calculate on the adhesion of Turkey and Austria, we think that the two powers would disavow their traditicinal policy and injure their interests were they to persist in opposing the views and efforts, henceforth unanimous, of the five other powers. We may, therefore, await with confidence favourable intelligence from Constantinople and Vienna. TRE WONDERFUL SUM/I - AM - BE LAMP. Imperial, quitted the building.

The same day a trial of a newly invented lamp, called " the wonderful submarine lamp," was made on board the ship-of the-line Eylau, in presence of a commission appoin ted to report on the result. The lamp was let down three feet under water, and the light which it cast around enabled the visitors to examine the copper bottom of the ship, its joints, and rivets. The lamp was then let down 24 feet, and continued to burn all the time of the experiment, which lasted two hours and a half. Several trifling repairs may be effected on the bottom of a ship by means of this lamp. It will be particularly useful likewise in ex tricating the screw of a steamer from a rope twisted round it or from any other impediment. FAILURN of the ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING. The United States' steam-frigate Niagara, Capt. Hudson, from the Atlantic, followed by the Sus quehanna, Capt. Sands, and her Majesty's screw stelmihip Agam.r nation, Master-Commander Nod dall, entered the Sound this afternoon on their re turn from their unsucce , sful effort to lay the tele graphic cable. On board the Niagara they report that at the time of the severance, a quarter to four o'clock on Tuesday morning, 335 nautical or about 380 statute milea had been laid, at a distance of 260 to 280 miles in a direct course from Valentia. The wind was southerly, there was some sea, and .the ship was going from three to four knots, and the cable paying out five to six, and sometimes seven, knots. As the quantity of slack thus expended was greater than expected at starting, and more than could bs afforded, the retard strain was therefore increased to a pressure of 3,000 pounds, and the cable broke. The extra expenditure of slack commenced on Monday evening, when a strong brpeze and heavy swell prevailed, and a powerful undercurrent was experienced. This current forced the wire from the ship at a considerable angle. When the break was applied with increased power the stern of the Niagara was down in the trough of a sea, and the extra strain created by her rising was the immediate cause of the cable's paat- ing. The Susquehanna was a mile off on the Niagara's starboard beam ; the Agamemnon, the Cyclops; and the Leopard were within signal distance. At 12 o'clock the Cyclops left for Valentia, and thtLeopard for Spithead. The other three re" mallaed to make some experiments. Soundings were found by the Cyclops at 2,000 fathoms. At night they kept a course E. 5.80 under easy steam, and on Wednesday, morning at 10 o'clock bore up for Plymouth Sound. The Niagara is gone into Hamoaze. Th 3 general °pi' nion is that the season is too far advanced for ano ther'effort now, but every confidence is expressed in the ultimate success of the undertaking. The, machinery now ab oar d th e Ni aga ra is c ons idered too heavy for the purpose. It is stated that the wheels ceased to revolve when the pressure was ar lied on Tuesday morning. THE NEW COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE AND FLO WEB MARKET. the right of the Pavillon Sully. The entrance was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The first object that met the visitor on passing the doorway was a bust in white marble of Napo leon 1., standing on a pedestal of the same material. On each side was a medallion supported by halberds—one with the name of Francis 1., sur mounted by a salamander, and the other that of Napoleon 111., surmounted by an eagle, both rest ing on banks of flowers. The gallery in which the ceremony was held is on the first landing over the ground floor. You ascend to it by a flight of steps. On each side were groups of ancient sta tuary, borrowed from the museum ; and from the rez-de-ehaussee to the landing-place the staircase was flanked by the Cent Gardes, dressed in their beautiful uniform, and who stood so still and mo tionless that they also might have been mistaken for statues. Both sides all the way up were lined with shrubs and flowers. About one o'clock the Ministers, the Marshals of France, Generals of Divisions, and great func tionaries of State began to arrive. Marshal Pe lissier was early in attendance. He was at once recognised. His hair, white as snow, cut close, and contrasting with his black eyebrows and moustache, dark eyes, face bronzed by the sun of Africa, and determined expression of countenance, have long made him familiar to the public. He was dressed in his Marshal's uniform, with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour, the Star of the Bath, the Crimean medal, and other nume rous orders. Marshal Bosquet, who, by the way, is growing rather bulky, followed soon after, and Marshal Canrobert, short, bulky, and good-natured looking, his face, as usual, uplifted, and his eyes continually in motion, as if the gallant Gascon was anxious to have a chat with every one they lighted upon. At half-past 1 all the great personages of the day had arrived. Exactly at 2 o'clock the drums beat to arms as a signal that the Emperor, punctual to a moment, as ever, was approaching, and a cry of " Vive l'Enipereur I" from the crowd below announced that he was already at the entrance. The buzzing of conversation was at once hushed, and all turned in silence towards the entrance. %M. Fould, Minister of State and of the Imperial Household, was at the gates to receive him. In a few minutes the Grand Chamberlain called out " L' Emp ereur I" and the next moment his Majesty, dressed in military uniform, made his appearance. All stood up, and the cry of "Vivo l'Empereur" ran through the hall. The Em peror was accompanied by the Empress, and followed by Prince Napoleon, the Princess Mathilde, the Prince and Princess Murat, and a long array of chamberlains and cfficers of the household. The Em peror advanced to the extremity of the hall, where a throne was a placed on a platform covered with crimson velvet, with another by its side for the Empress, and on both sides fauteuils for the Princes of the Imperial family. The Emperor invited the assembly to be seated, and took his seat on the I throne. Business was opened without a minute's delay. M. Fould stood up and read a paper, in which a rapid sketch was given of the beginning and completion of the buildings, from 1852 to the present time. The list was then read of the persons engaged in these important works, whom the minister recommended as worthy of special marks of the Emperor's approval. The names were numerous, and comprised every e branches. These mechanic—all, i n f ac t, w h o x class, from the principal architect, sculptor, arid painter,el led advanced in to ia rse their working r respective names wer e ca ll e d, an d eac h per sonsec t received from the hands of the Emperor the Cross of Commander, Officer, or Knight of the Legion of Honour. Loud applause followed the recital of several of the names. Each recipient, as the deco ration was delivered to him, bowed to the Emperor and Empress, who returned the salute most grace fully. The Emperor and Empress then stood up, and his Majesty read, in a firm and distinct voice, the following address : . " Gentlemen, —I congratulate myself with you on the completion of the Louvre. I congratulate myself especially upon the causes which have ren detect it possible. In fact it is order, restored stability, and ever increasing prosperity of the country which have enabled me to complete this national work. I call it so because the Govern ments which have succeeded each other, have made it a point to do something towards the com pletion of the Royal dwelling commenced by Francis 1., embellished by Henry 11. "Whence this perseverance, and even this popu larity in the building of a palace ? It is because the character of a people is reflected in its institu tions as in its customs, in the events that excite its enthusiasm as well as in the monuments which become the object of its chief interest.. Now France, monarchical for so many centuries, which always beheld in the Central Power the representative of her grandeur and of her nationality, wished that the dwelling of the Sovereign should be worthy of the country, and the best means of responding to that sentiment was to adorn that dwelling with the different masterpieces of the human intelligence. " In the middle ages the King dwelt in a fortress bristling with defensive works ; but soon the pro gress of civilisation superseded battlements, and the produce of letters of the the arts and science took the place of weapons of war. " Thus the history of monuments has also its philosophy as well as the history of events. "In like manner that it is remarkable that at the time of the first revolution the Committee of , giving the l as t bl ow t o h Public Welfare shorl l h ave continued, without being aware of it, the w o r k of L ouis XI., of R t i e feudal system, l to learn in c arrying out the sy s t em o f unity and centralisation , t he constant ai m of Mo . narchy—in like manner i s there not a g reat lesson sb o ye f sht L oe li o nd t i :i n s agn X td h l e V i e a of Henry IV., of Louis XIII., of Louis XIV., of Louis XV., of Louis XVI., of Napoleon, a s i egards the Louvre, adopted by the ephemeral power of 1848 ? One of the first acts, in fact, of the Provisional Government was to decree the completion 'of the palace of our Kings. So true is it that a nation draws from its antecedents, as an individual derives from his educa'ion, ideas which the passions of a moment do not succeed in destroying. When a moral impala) is the c onsequence of the social condition of a country it is handed down through ceit'litrerent forma of Govern ment,strie6, and througek (.- . •, 4 view attainen, until the object in " Thits the completion of the Louvre towards which I thank for your co-operation, given with so much zeal and skill, is not the caprice of a moment conceived for the but is the realisation of a glory, and kept alive by the instinct, of the country for more than 300 years." The whole ceremony lasted about three-quarters of an hour. The Emper or and Em press descended from the platform and returned as they came, their • Majesties bowing ou both sides as they passed down the gallery ; and, amid cries of " Vivo l'Empereur, Vice l'lmperatrice," and a few of "Vive le Prince The Gazette de France, treating on the same sub ject, says : " The English Government has only consented to what it could. not refuse ; namely, to the re commencement of the Meldavian elections, which had been conducted in too scandalous a manner. As for the pr;ncipal question, that of the union or of the separation, it is far from settled. Lord Palmerston has even declared in formal terms to the House of Commons that it had not been dis cussed. The question remains, therefore, as before." The Courricr de Paris thus befly com ments on Lord Palmerston's exclamation in Parliament :—" Were any nation now to take up an attitude towards England which under other cir cumstances it would not assume, that nation would soon find out its mistake" : " It is impossible to retreat in a more haughty manner, or to disguise genuine alarm under more lofty words. That language is not unworthy of the Minister who makes amends for his errors without acknowledging them. We will leave to others the task of laughing at the illusions and boasts of Lord Palmerston ; we will show conside ration to the self-esteem of our allies, and will re serve all our severity for the wily and hypocritical policy of the Austrian Government." The Constitutionnel terminates au article on the Chinese question with the following singular pas sage '. : " It must not be supposed that we are unfavour • able to the cause of England in China ; however trivial may have been the incident which gave birth to the present difficulty, that cause is that of civilisa tion of Europe and of France. We have no doubt that England will triumph in China ; but that triumph has been adjourned in consequence of the events of India ; and as in the present day interests, which are apparently the most distant, are inti mately connected with those agi tated under our very eyes, we may add that a prompt solution of the Canton difficulty depends in part on the amount of wisdom and moderation displayed by the English cabinet in European politics. It is essential that Great Britain should have her hands free in Europe in order to strike a decisive blow in Asia." BOURSE, Aug. 14.—The following were the last quotations : Cash. fr. c.

The reception given them was most cordial. The streets were brilliantly decorated, and enthusiastic shouts proceeded from the crowd. On the journey their Imperial High nesses stopped a short time at Layhach, where they received the congratulations of the authorities ; they then proceeded to Adelsberg, where, after hearing mass, they visited the famous grotto." The Madrid journals of the 10th do not, contain any political news of importance. A royal decree in the Gazette molifies the constitution of the con sulting junta of the department of public works on railways, roads, and canals. The Marquis of Ignazio Pallavic;ni, lately re elected a member of the Communal Council of Genoa, which, it may be remembered, had been dissolved on account of a refusal to pay a sum fixed by law, has b:en appointed syndic of Genoa. This is considered a conciliatory step on the part of the Government, the Marquis having obtained the largest majority of votes. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 14.

Stamford, vice The ruins of the old theatre are now outing/ down and the debris nearly cleared away in props" ration for the new buildings to be erected on th e site. These will consist of a Theatre and Flosve f Market, the area of the former bf which will he about 230 feet by 120 feet, and the latter 220 fe e ' , by 75 feet. The new Covent-garden Opera Ho - oe,, as we believe it is to be called, when complete d will he the largest in London except her M jentY e Theatre in the Haymarket. The principal entrance to it will be by a sextile portico in Bovi-stree t i within which there is intended to be a spaciole entrance ball and grand staircase. The Queen° entrance will be in Hart-street, communicating with which are planned staircases and retiring rooms. The stage will run parallel with Bart i : street. The - ceiling of the theatre, together w ith the fronts of the boxes, are to be constructed 0' the patent fibrous wood, similar to that used ill the new Reading-loom of the British Museuoto which appears to be admirably adapted for such purpose. The backs and divisions of the upper boxes are to be so contrived that they can be re' moved, as also the pit tier, to admit of entire re' moval and occasional extension of the pit under the grand tier of boxes. The roof and suppOrting ders of the boxes will be of wrought-iron, light•ana elegant iu design. There are to be no columns in front of the boxes, so the view of the stage will b e entirely uninterrupted. The proscenium is in tended to be so constructed that it will admit of re' moval, so as to convert the entire building, as occa sion may require, into an enormous concert rood'"" combining the whole of the stage space and auditory. The gallery is to extend over the principal entrance, and into the tympanum of the pOrtico, so that no space will be lost that can be made available. The entire area to be occupied by spectators will cor e d ' prise three tiers of boxes, an amphitheatre, pit, 0 11 , 0 gallery.

MROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS• Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of_. l b° board was held in the Council Chamber , Guild-P" - —the President (Mr. Thwaites) in the chair. The total general balance in favour of the bow' was reported to be 55,496/. THE INTERCEPTING PLAN OF THE BOARD. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that no direct anoVre' had been received by the board to the communief a Lion which, by their order, had been addressed the First Comro.i4sioner of Works, inquiring I it was probable that the board would receive decision on the plan of intercepting drainage sl! A u witted to him on the 22d of December. He would' therefore, move that Sir B. Hall be again written t ° on this marten The PRESIDENT said that the motion, if persist ed in, would probably lead to an inconvenient discu s " sion on the main question. • After some further obseiTations the motion dropped. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Deputy HARRISON moved, pursuant to 13 ; tice, "That it be referred to the finance coinmitt,e; to consider and report the measures to be taken 1° the purpose of raising the sum of 723,07 41 ., til A . estimated gross cost of the following works, agre e ° to by this board, and also the titne within 101:1 01 ' the amount should bo repaid, viz., Southwark ice, provement, 429,4241. ; Coventry-street, 76, 84 and Finsbury-park, 216,830/." Mr. flows seconded the motion, which was po t and agreed to. The discussion of the Auperintending architectlS reports occupied the remainder of the sitting. The Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Prince ° Royal, drove through West CoWes, on Thursday ever ing in an open phaeton, returned by the Newport-road' and recrossed the ferry. VIST OF THE EMPEROR. OF THE FRENCH TO CovV ls ; —Soon after one o'clock on Sunday last, a s the Peal steamer was discharging a number of excursionists froo London via Southampton, a 14 foot. punt was rowed of to the causeway, at the Fountain Steam-boat-wha rf ' s a nd three gentle men stepped out and proceeded by t 1 3 ,8 arc hway through the street towards the Parade, , which time it was tulderstood to b e the Emperor an, tw o of hie suite. Neither the Commodore, Vice-Co ol modore, or the Seeretary, happened to be at the clu b , house, and Mr. Delin6 Raduffe showed the royal tors over the o il and then over the • new Squadr on' horse ; they returned through the town by the WO' street, stepped i n t o th e waterman's boat that broug ht them acroe, and were rowed across. • On landing tiV East — owes a fly was passing on its return cr op Oiborrie, they bailed the driver to know if he could tape them across, which be agreed to do, not knowing vi l . l a he was about to take, nor how well he was to be 1 03 ,1 for the job—on setting down his fare he was prese nte. with a gold Napoleon. The boatman was paid in tl ie e same way. The Emperor has allowed his name to entered as patron of tho Royal Yacht Squadron, an , has given a cup to be sailed for in 1858. VISIT OF THE QUEEN OF THE NETHERLANDS TO O S th ' BaRNEI—SOUTHAMPTON, Friday. —ller Majesty Queen of the Netherlands embarked from the docks thl t day, about half past 1 o'clock, in the Royal steam yO b o Fairy, Captain the ion.

THE STORM AT SPA.—The damage done by the sto o , s which burst recently over Spa and its neighbourhoo d estimated at 427,6001. Spa figures for 88,000 f. T„l' e for 55,8001., Polleur 126,0001., Barb 25,800 1 ., 132,000 f, . You want proof of the iniquities practised at the elections in Moldo-Wallachia. I refer you to the " Grievances of the Moldavians," as laid before the European Commissioners-115 pages of print—a tithe of the proofs given to the Commissioners—the columns of your conterdporar:e3 of the press—the " Special Correspondents" of the Times and Daily News—a late article in the _Press newspaper , &c. Britain entered on the late war to defend and protect the Principalities—not to, aggrandize Turkey and enslave the Roumans. It is difficult to prove that the almost unanimous wish of the Moldo-Wallacians is " union under a foreign prince," first, because the Divan has not yet been formed ; and secondly, because the press is totally suppressed in Moldavia, and virtually so in Wallachia, by an unlimited Censorship. The columns of your cotemporaries, the published plaints of the Moldavians, the enormous efforts made by the government to crush any expression in favour of union, and the details of the elections you allude to, confirm what I saw and heard on this point in the country itself. Protest after protest had been forwarded, to Con stantinople by the majority of the members of the European Commission at Bucharest, and as matters were not altered, it resulted as you have seen at Constantinople. The proposal to cite the Caima cans to Constantinople, that they might deny the charges of which the European Commission hel , l the proofs at Bucharest, was indeed a " reftp deriaoise" to the request that the illegal elections be declared void, and that new ones take place in accordance with the Treaty of Paris and Firman of Convocation. The case of Greece is not in the least analogons to that of Moldo-Wallachia—that of Belgium much more so, both from its geographical as well as poli tical points of view. The Roumans have only bad the Greek religion engrafted on their nationality, as the Hungarians the Roman. They do not hold the Czar to be their chief—they have no Russian sympathies in race, religion, or language. Their c o untry can carry twenty millions of inhabitants as easily as its existing five millions. They have pre served their nationality intact up to the present day, agahist Austrian, Pole, Turk, and Russian, and they will not yield it up at this hour, even should liberal England desert them, or force them to follow the example of Servia in seeking for _ _ JUSTICE TO THE OPPRESSED.
