SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1857 Mr. THACKMAX haa appeared in the City of Oxford as a candidate for the suffrages of that important constituency. It need hardly be added, by way of information to the many thou sands who are already familiar with his writings, that the distinguished novelist has entered his a ppeal 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 stant, in the minds of those in any way acquainted with the social views and the political bias of that very ou tspoken Gentleman in the Barnacles, Mr MICHAEL ANGELO TIM AIiSH C)uld any orn possibly have been mistaken in this matter in regard to the principles and aspirations cherished in the large heart beating with such fa: and generous pulses under that ample vest, and with- 1 in the embraces of that voluminous outer integu ment of broadcloth Rardly--!t were list short of an impossibility t. Th e satirist of " The Snob Papers," the sarcastic co mmefflorator Of " FITZ BOODLE," the cynical biortrapl e ' of 44 YELL ownusli," the Lecturer, first cf a p , ti p aa , the curiously congen ial theme of the " English Humorists," and after- THE SU t 44 ,, LONDON, SATURDAY 1.4.4 0-, JULY 11, iBSI, wards upon the sill more curiously unco'igenial theme of "The Four Georges"—muld scarcely, we conceive, in these matters, have been in any way misapprehended. Had there been rettlly 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 Newcomes 7 -this last mewl-mad, 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. THACKERA.Y'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 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 !" Remembeting all this, reinereb.ering everything we have ever read from the pen of W. M. THACKERAY, 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 explicitly, as a thorough Reformer—not as a bit-by-bit Reformer, hut 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 anal Comprehensive ! Lie proclaims himself to be opposed to Triennial Parliaments, but adds to that not very surprising lecla.ration the assurance, that if the City of Oxford approves of Triennial Parliaments he will vote for them nevertheless. Added to all this, he utt3rs to the electors the rather supet fluous avowal (coming from him !) that he is in dependent of "Every Ministry and Everybody." THACKEILAY need hardly have said that anywhere. But he has said it—and in saying it ho spoke but a truism familiar to us all. And so—again, sty we, Success go with him in his canvass through that 01l classic city 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. MACKERAY, 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 be perceived that the Learned Judges of that Circuit—Mr. Baron WATSON and Mr. Baron CHANNELL—having arrived in the city of York on the previous aftelmoon, 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 busi 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 report, "nothing there for his Lordship to do, and the necessary formalities having been gone through, his Lordship left in less than half au hour." Quick work, certainly, and work in every way, and in the highest sense of the term, encourag ing. But mark what occurred immediately after- wards in due succession ! Mr. Baron CIIANNELL 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 N e .. thinq, down at the Guildhall ! Well—fir;;;, of all we will consider for a moment what Baron CHANNELL had to do at the Castle. His Lordship found upon the calendar the names of seventy prisoners, no less than ten of whom were on bail I And the Report adds —as truly as sententlous!y—" Both in number and character of crime 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 character unknown, in Vic re collection 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 en try 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 lisk, however, causes may be entered up to twelve o'clock tc-morrow," meaning yesterday. Let us take a peep into 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 perfect'y well, as we do now, witat was coming, can't we fancy the result of the next proceeding? " Mr. BELL having informed his Lordsliip"—All the faces under the Wigs lengthen !

Whereupon 'we find Mr. WARREN, Q.C., the Learned Recorder of Hull, and the facotions Author of Tdu Thousand a Year, l exolaiming, after the ma nner of a Greek Chorus (anti not the least bit of doulA in the world, with a twinkle of fun in the corner of hi:; eye 1)—" To see the nakedness of tho land have ye come r"rhe matter, however, is altc;- j gether, too serious for joking, and the Learned Judge, Mr. Biron WATSON, naitle/y ad.'s (witli A grave face) " This is very bad, very bad."

GOD send it may be so, in all time to conic, the lawyer's flossing notwithstanding 11 W e hive just bad in band, before an election committee, a very nice little specimen of truAec- electors, and their responsibility to non-olectors ; and we "would just ask Lord J. EUSkEL.Es how Lie likes the working of his precious theory. It pleased the electors of England this year to ex tinguish the two most conceited parties in the House of Commons the Peelites and the Leaguers—not that the country was ungrateful for their past services, nor that it underrated their talents, but it was heartily sick of their assumption, and wished to . shew them that Eng land could go right enough without their ex cathedra counsEls. Mr. F. PEEL was amongst the victims whom it was thought well to sacrifice as one of the self sufficients ; and the good people of Bury considered that an intelligent 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. PHILIPS was altogether touch 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 House " 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. Plum's to Mr. PEEL is a very large one indeed—we should say the entire working class of the kingdom. But how were the operatives, 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, like 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 one in 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 selezted as most suitable t) wait upon them, and apprise them that the non-electors, for whom the said shopkeepers were trustees, wished them to carry out their trust faithfully by voting for Mr. PHILIPS ; and, as there ought to be, and must be, some me ins 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 great 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 votas for their candidate ; while his majority not being more than thirty-five, it seems quite probable that their influence, due 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 cestui cow 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 gowns, caps, and bon• nets, of tea, sugar, and plums, of flour, bread, and meat to vote for Mr. PHILIPS T—this would look something like intimidation. Were they to hold a " mass meeting," as JONATFIA.N . 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. On the assumption that Lard JOHN'S trustee theory is right, and that the shopkeepers would not, or dare not have 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 bs 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' f 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, otherwise it would result that all the trustees were as a body trustees for themselves ! Secondly, if trustees for the un represeuted, 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 fur the interests, in distinction from the wishes of the non-electors ; for not be longing to the excluded classes, being indeed .of a different social grade, they cannot know its inte rests so won, or care for them so much as for their Own. There is, in truth, neither sense nor sound policy in giving a vote to an elector, unless it be made his own vote ; unless ho 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 tb. extent of the suffrage, be each voter our,l ___. 1411 •v what it may, to dive hia own, not a dictated vote. Other electors can hay° no claim to dictate, they have their own votes. Neither have non electors, otherwise they may claim a vote for themselves. VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA TO THE CITY.— The Regiment of the Henoural 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 fcrming a guard of bonour on the occasion of the visit of his Royal High ness the Prince of Prussia to the Lord Mayor. THE COURT. —Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, ace impanied by the Princess Royal, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and the younger members of the Royal Family, leave Buckingham Palace on the 16th or 18th init., fir 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 con templated visit of the Emperor ar.d 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 Rumpenheirn, near Frankfort, to pass the autumn. Hi, Excellency the Austrian Minister and the Coun• tess d'Apponyi 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 sue cep. The specie from America by the Fulton and Kanga roe is 40,0001., besides 95,0001. fur France. The stock markets continue their downward course, a further ave rage fall of about 3 per cent, having occurred within the past few ,days. Erie were quoted 271 ; New York Central, 80 ; ileading, 71 ; Panama, 911- ; and I'linois 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 stele 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 :—Season tickets, 2,724; cash, 3,102; total, 5,826. Amongst the visitors was Mr. Baron Bramwell, who spent several hours in the palace. We have heard that the King of the Belgians and suite will pay a visit to the Exhibition, and we think it not improbable.—Manchesecr Guardian, THE CASE OF STABBING IN THE QUEEN'S PRISiN —Mr. R. H. Robertson, the, gentleman who s , nar rowly escaped aesassination in the above prison on Wed• nesday last, by an Italian named Selvi, still lee t in a roost dangerous condition. On inquiry yesterday morn ing at the prison, it was stated by the medi ca l 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 bis surviving. BURSTING OF A STEAM BOILER.—FALMOUTH, July 10.—The French screw iron steamer, Countess Emilie, Rogge, master, of and from Dunkirk, for Glasgow, burst her bailer off this port last evening. Notice of the casualty was taken from the shore, when the French censure gig was immediately dispatched, taking off two surgeons, to provide fir prompt attention, in case of per sonal injury, when the head encineer and a stoker wee found dreadfully burnt. The vessel sustained no dainaee. FATAL STFAM BOILER EXPLOSION AT CHESTER.— TIVO 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 very fine one, three years old, and furnished with patent plugs of lead, safety-valves, &c., was blown through a brick wall 200 yards into a field, where one end of it was deeply buried in the earth. The end of the boiler, which blew 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, but the father was shockingly m t bated, though some distance from the boiler when it burst. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charing-cross Hospital on the body of Samuel Moore, aged 62. Deceased was formerly a wealthy come so ed uce d i n circumstances t h at h e h a d h a d to salesman in Covent-garden Market, but had be work as a porter. Oa Wednesday he was employed by Mr. Adam, a market gardener, to carry some potatoes, weighing 1 cwt. While carrying this he fell, and was found bleeding and insensible. A few hours after his admission to the hospital he died, and Mr. Applin, the house surgeon, now deposed that the injuries of the old man were sufficient to cause death. Verdict—" Acci dental death,"' with a recommendation from the jury the m that maerkt t n e o f advanced ydevaarnreedalyeehahrseasvhy loads should not . t be employed in THE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAlLWAY.—Yes terday the inquiry respecting the deaths of the 11 unfor tunate p-rsoas who were killed by the collision on the North Kent Railway on Sunday night week, was re sumed by Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, at the Plough Inn, Lewisham. Since the last adjournment of the investigation another of the unfortunate sufferers —viz., Mrs. Sarah Ann Boykett—has expired at St. Thomas's Hospital. That inetitution being in the dis trict, of Southwark, Mr. Payne, the coroner, empan nelled a jury. Evidence was taken to show the nature of the injuries, the chief one beiiig a very extensive compound fracture of the tibia, which caused death. The coroner explained that an investigation was being held by the coroner for Kent, and therefore it was un necessary to g o into the case there. He proposed that the jury should be discharged without a verdict, which was agreed to. Evidence was then adduced in regard to the other cases. The facts mentioned, however, formed a mere recapitulation of the circumstances al ready known. The inquest was adjourned till Monday. The Metropolitan Bread Company is being wound up under the authority of the Court of Bankruptcy. TESTIMONIAL BY THE PRESIDENT OE THE UNITED STATES TO AN ENGLISH CAPTAIN.—LIVERPOOL, Friday. —A letter was received to-day by the owner of the Ann Pitcairn, Captain Sharp (Mr. A.

COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—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 deal ente of opposition. Some delay took place before the discusion 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 arid estimates for the erection of a meat market on the north side of Senitlifi&d, with an estimate of the probable rave. tie to be derived there• from."

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING. The Roxburgh Castle, Captain Adams, 94 days from Melbourne, was off the port yesterday, and ended passengers here. She has a cargo of copper ore and wool, 90 passengers, and, it is slid, half a ton of gold dust. The Roxburgh Castle has had a very boisterous passage. She left Port Phillip April 7th, cleared the Head on the 10th, carried away topgallant mast before sighting Cape Horn, which she rounded May 10th ; lot bulwarks off the coast of crossed the line June Bth, and shortly after experienced contrary wind or calms for nine conse cutive days. Near the Lizard, at 11 a.m., on Fri day, spoke the Blackwall, from Plymouth, undtr all canvass for Melbourne. The Francis Henty, Capt. Caincross, 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 CONSPIRACY IN PARlS. rrborteeoletistieetxlle The Times' correspo n d en t (S econ d Editi on ) says : " The conspiracy whi c h h as b een di scovere d i n Paris, is described as th e mos t ser i ous o f any t h at we have as yet had any k now l e d ge o f , b ot h f rom irr t t n h ei t c a ofti a o r iwu a t ss c a t spr e aa r ermo o t f sni fin t oc l : fac e e i ot n ian d lsy i ,w v a i it d tuhi ultei,r.ttletsh the e c p o l paonetbcaej ictn erersntesod, hc r pa u o 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 most 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 Smate, with " Delenda 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 na'2nt became aware of the plot on the I.oth 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 t!mely 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 ? 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 ramifications 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 tho passes of the Sierra Morena are not rarely disturbed when tranquillity reigns elsewhere. A part of Mazzini's correspondence, 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.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Deutsclaand 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 Blade Seas. The Government some time back sent a commis sion to the spot, and according to their first report the operation will not be difficult, 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. More recent surveys, however, made under the direction of the celebrated geographer Bcehr, 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." ..... 0 11•-••• 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 Kerchove 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 which has been given to the dif ference between that Government and the Sublime Porte ; he expresses still greater surprise that the minister should hive 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 Cocstantinople, official, or non-official, to at tack him. As to the despatch of 30th May, the communication of which caused 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 officieusement to the &cretary-General of the department of Foreign 'Affairs ; ho says also that he E 0 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 h a d 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 banks which shall prove they are able to pay in specie on presentation. The Minister of Marine of Denmark some time ago charged a commission to examine into the state of the navy in Denmark, and it has just reported that the number of vessels, 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. LAWRENCE. QUEBEC, JULY 27, 10 A.M. Intelligence has just reached the city of a me!an eholy disaster that happened to the steamer Mon treal last evening, and by which over 200 lives are supposed to have been lust. 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 be 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 ves'el, while a few succeeded in reach ing the shore by swimm . nc,... Thera were in all about 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 disaster, is between this port and Montreal. _ _ There wag a small insurance on the vessel, which, with the cargo, is a total loss. CAPTAINS. B.

These 5,471,888 votes for the Government resolve them selves into 5,200,101 votes given to official candi dates, and 271,787 given to candidates who do not belong to the Opposition.' " During the 20 days which by our law consti tute the Veriod of electoral preparation the most complete liberty has been allowed to all citizens to set on foot and promote their canvass, and to the journals to publish and discuss these questions. " Now that the contest is over, and that a ma jority of more than 5,000,000 votes has distinctly prove i the opinion of the country, a limit must be put to the discussion, which can now have no other object than the useless agitation of public feeling. " These discussions cannot be better closed than by the following table : " • December 10, 1848.—Vote for the Presidency. " Inscribed, 9,977,452 ; voters, 7,440,471 ; for Prince Napoleon, 5,534,520; for other candidates, 1,879,298 ' • votes lost, 12,434, " December 20, 1851.—Vote on the Decree of the 2d of Dekamber.

" Miring the course of eight years the number of dissentients, instead of increasing, has diminished the clamour which they were allowed the liberty to make during the recent elections has neither aug mented their numbers nor masked their impotence: " France, which has now judged them five times, has not changed her opinion." PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, JULY 10. The steamer Douro brings Lisbon dates of the 4th inst., at which time there was no foreign ves sel of war in the Tagus, the two Russian ships, Viborg and Castor, having left on the 3d. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's steamer Tagus arrived at Lisbon on the 2d, and after landing passengers and mails for that port pro ceeded on to Cadiz and Gibraltar on the morning of the 311. In stock no altoration had taken place in the prices, but the market was more animated, as there had been some demand at the following quotations ItegiAered Three per Cents., 46 to 46i ; Coupons, 454 to 46 ; Deferred 28 to 29 ; Bank of Portugal, 111,to 11/ per cent. premium ; Bank of Oporto, 22k to 25 per cent. premium. The Bank of Oporto, had' declared a dividend of 24 per cent. on the half-year ending the 30th of June last. The Cortes had been further prorogued until the 6th inst. At the secret session of the 3d, the Concordat with Rome had passed in the Chamber of Deputies, with some modifications. The Ministry was to be completed as soon as the Chambers were closed. THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL. (From the ConstitutionneL) The First Lord of the Treasury has announced in a very categorical manner that 'the British Go vernment, far from exercising its influence with. the Porte in favour of the projected canal, will. employ its entire credit in opposing the execution of the enterprise. This open declaration is better than an underhand warfare, and we regard it as a, step in advance made by that grand enterprise. It now faces the last difficulty that opposes its execution, and over which it will triumph. The. English Government must not fancy that it can succeed in preventing its definitive success. It may delay the execution of the canal and may throw vast obstacles in its way. But its error. will not prevail, in th e en d , over the vigour of truth over the interests of the human race. We' repeat what we have often said : the moment that such an enterprise is feasible it may be considered accomplished. What matters it if it be executed a day earlier or later ? We believe that it will be accomplished at an early date. We have not heard the last of it in the House of Commons. An inquiry has been put to Lord Palmerston, and he has replied. A discussion will follow before longr and if that discussion be complete, it must neces sarily prove unfavourable to the ministry. The. matter of the canal is now in English hands, and Lord Palmerston is beh•nd time in his declaration ; he should have offered it before M. de Lesseps had obtained the unanimous, free, and enlightened sup port of all the important chambers of commerce ill the United Kingdom. The ministry is therefore in opposition with all these chambers of commerce, with these associations of English sailors, shipowners, and merchants. • (From the .Debats,) Lord Palmerston, in declaring himself the open antagonist of the Suez Canal project, confined himself to a limited number of assertions which are unproved. Simple contradictions do not suffice to prove that this enterprise, which is supported by so large a number of eminent men, is impracticable and sterile. The continual discussions on the merits of the projected canal which have takeil place on both sides of the Channel tend rather to prove the contrary. Moreover, as Mr. Berkeley remarked to Lord Palmerston, this pri , ject has met the approval of the most important commercial cities of the United Kingdom. In spite of the re luctance of the English Government, the question will be decidcd in favour of the enterprise the dal when public opinion in England shall pronounce itself in favour of its accomplishment. The decla ration of Lord Palmerston would discourage the authors of the project in any country where the conduct of government did not depend on public opinion. In England, that decliration will only engage them to redouble their efforts in order to vanquish, sooner or later, the unfavourable dispo sition of government. THE GREAT EASTERN. This mammoth iron steamer, it is now said, will probably visit New York upon her visit across the Atlantic, instead of Portland, as it has been hereto fore announced. The difficulty of her approaching this city by the way of Sandy Hook, on account of a lack of water upon the bar, has been the ex cuse for allotting Portland as the place to land at, as there is plenty of water in that harbour, and extensive arrangements, it is reported, have been male for her reception bybuilding docks, warehouses, die. Should this chauge in her destination take place, it will, no doubt, be - a - gloat disappointment to the • Portland people, whilst it will give thousands of New-Yorkers the opportunity to see this wonderful specimen of naval architecture, who would not otherwise have that gratification. Upon the Bar, by the way of Sandy Hook, there is 27 feet at high water, and 22 at the shallowest place at low:water. The spring tides give a rise of six feet. The piloto would not agree to take the ship in if drawing over 26 feet, which would not allow of her taking in freight. By the way of Long Island Sound, however, the shallowest point in chan nel-way, at low tide, is 26 feet, and the spring tides give a rise of eight feet, which is more than . amply sufficient for the purposes required. Pilots assert that 35 feet can be found by some slight variations at high water. If the Great Eastern were brought in by the way, of the Sound, the natural stopping place would be at Morris's wharf, the other side of Hell Gate. There is a wharf 600 feet in length already built at that place, which could easily be extended, with ample depth of water far the big ship to lie alongside. M there is a line of railroad running to that point which would furnish convenient accommodations for -visitors, the distanCe would probabi; be i ll , favour Of the enterprise, as far as this is dependent upon opportlinities for inspecilng the ship.--.Ne° York 'I imes.
