In the present state of intense public excitement respecting Eastern affairs, more especially tho=e relating to India and Ceina, there is a very general desire for the speedy reaseemlling of Parliament. It is true, that the members of the Government are beginning to have their eyes opened to the magnitude and paratnourt importance of the emergency—that Cabinet Councils are held at unumal and inconvenient seasons, when Ministers have been accustomed to take their ease, or di:- port themselves according to their individual fancies—and that many valuable resolutions have been adopted, such as despatching additional forces to India—some by the Overland route—by calling out several additional Militia Regiments, and also by giving facilities to the reeruicing ser geant, by lowering the standard of height and increasing that of age, for . those willing t accept the QUEEN'S shilling. These are all we'l in their way, and we readily concede to Ministers the credit to which they are well entitled there for. But there are other problems which cannot be properly solved without the intervention of the -Legislature. However anxious Ministers mv be to do their duty, they cannot of their own autho rity meet every emergency that may arise. B.:- fore the prorogation we pointed out the urgent necessity of demanding extraordinary powers, which would have been readily granted. That advice was disregarded. The vote taken on ac count of the militia was totally inadequate. There are many of that gallant body who would eagerly volunteer for India, or China, if convinced that they would not be separated from officers whoni they regarded with affectionate respect, and per manently divested of their characteristics as mili tiamen. It ie needless to say how valuable such stalwart auxiliaries might be. But they coul,' not be used, however earnest their own wishes or pressing the emergency, until an Act of Parlia ment had been first duly had and obtained. Besides, the Government of the United King dom is essentially Parliamentary. I: is of Queen, Lords, and Commons ; and although th Executive may act on an emergency, it is high:y desirable that it shoull have the advice and assis:- ance of the collateral branches of the Legislature on every trying oc cas i on ; and who CAD say Ba the present is not one peculiarly so ? There are complaiet 3 as to the adaliuiiirati(ll of Anglo - Indian affAiv, which shoule be fully and promptly investigated. It is nacre than hinted that Lord CANNIZIG is not duly quali fled for the discharge of the arduous and impor tant duties confided to his hands, that a Governor- General of greater energy and decision, might, by accepting the aid, freely and cordially tendered by " JUNG BanAnooß," better known in this country as the Nepaulese Ambassador, have averted the horrible massacre at Cawnpore (that sickened the hearts of the people) and removed the thrilling anxiety felt respecting the fate of Luck now, of its heroic garrison, and the helpless fugi tives who have sought shelter and protection within its walls. It may also be essential to render Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, the Commander in whom the nation has unlimited confidence, perfectly indepen dent of aty civilian authority, either that of Lord CANNING, or of Mr. J. P. GRANT, or the native deputy, who has been pitchforked into a position in which no native ought to be placed under existing cir oumstances. It is strongly rumoured that the gallant General has already been compelled to assert his own dignity, and to prevent himself from being fettered and paralysed by the red tapist trammels in which his predecessor, Sir PATRICK Gniarr, was enveloped. These ara matters which imperatively demand the attention of Parliament, and in which any procrastination is a serious offence against the community, not only of India, but of the United Kingdom. But there is another and even a stronger ground, why Parliament should be convened for an early day. We believe that the East India Company will require further funds before next spring. The enormous military expenditure, far beyond what was anticipated two plinths since, and which must be still further increased, the treasuries plundered, and revenues uncol lected, prove beyond a possibility of doubt, that the company took a too sanguine estimate of their resources, when they stated that they had ample funds to carry on the war until February next. They had a considerable balance on hand—some three millions sterling—but that would go but a short way in providing for the transport from England, pay, and conveyance up the country, to the scene of action, of 40,000 English troops with _lndian allowances, to say nothing of the losses by plunder of the treasuries and of the means by which they may be reple nished. The pay of the mutineers will certainly cease ; but then there are irregular forces raised or about to be raised—Sikhs and Goorkhas, and others—and compensation to be given to pecu niary sufferers, that will fully counterbalance the savings occasioned by the defalcation of the Ben gal army. A loan, and one of no inconsiderable amount, must therefore be resorted to, and the important question arises, whether that loan should be taken in India or England. This requires Parliamentary cmsideratioo, and a distinct reference t) the constitutional guardians of the public purse. It is a •nockery and delusion to say that there is no relationship between the pecuniary affairs of India and of England—that the taxpayers of the Unit A Kingdom are not concerned in the amount of in terest, which is to be wholly defrayed out of the Indian revenues. We directly assert the contrary —that these charges must sooner or later fall on the United Kingdom, when the anomalous double Government is abolished, and Ilindostan becomes an integral portion of her MA.- JESTIr'S dominions, under the direct rule of Queen VICTORIA.. Our exchequer will, in fact, profit by any surplus, or, as is by n 1 means im possible, have to provide for any deficiency. It therefore becomes a mater of serious moment at what rate of interest the anticipated loan may be concluded. If at present made exclusively on Indiin revenues, it will scarcely be obtained under 6 per cent ; if with a British guarantee, it will pro bably be had at 31, or at the outside, at 3i per cent. This is certainly worth look- Trig to, and Parliament is alone qualified t pronounce an opinion. The affairs of China, t )o, which created such excitement some seven mouths since, demand notice. It was that question that led to the appeal of the country. It was to it and to the universal Anti- Yehite feeling, that many honourable gentlemen owe their seats. Sul e:y, then, it is not too much to anticipate that they should willingly submit to any personal inconve nience for the purpose of discharging efficiently the trust reposed in them. Let Parliament then forthwith be summoned for an autumnal or a winter session, and if that course be neglected, let meetings be called in the metropolis and throughout the provinces to express the puac feeling in reference to the omission. That we are to have the promised Reform Bill appears to be taken for granted—Lord J. Russzu, seemed to assume it at Sheffield, as an understood thing ; at the Bury demonstration it was spoken of in a similar manner. One of cur ablest weekly contemporaries has argued strongly iu f your of its intrcduction this session ; it thinks that even should Indian affairs occupy much par liamentary time, which it seems inclined to ("Dub', yet for variety's sake, as a relief to the monotony of constant debating on one subject, another of great interest will also be needed. Well, we, of course, shall be only too happy to give the whole subject our earnest attention, and happy enough to have two topics of almost equal though of such diverse interest to report upon, and to comment on in our pages. We by no means object to the first reading of a Reform Bill being the first notice given by Ministers, and the first business of the coming session. If we are to have one let it be in time for us to canvass it, for the Commons to de bate it, and for the Lords u• - )t to snub it in the end of July or beginning of August. We do repeat, for we are not among the pro phet3 of evil, that the first advices, after Parlia ment meas, may be that the mutiny has been crushed, or has quailed, before the 35,000 addi tional troops which by that time will have spread themselves over the whole ground now occupied by the mutineers. If so, the public anxiety being so much relieved, Parliament and the Premier will feel bound to redeem their pledge so delibe rately given last session. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, too, will certainly not let the opportunity slip if Lord PALMERSTON does ; there will therefore probably be a move. Of course it is just possible that the news from India will be very different to what we decidedly expect, and should that be the case, it may be difficult to secure the attention requisite both in and out of Parliament. In that case, even, some contend that aq the Home Government can do no more than send out the requi site military reinforcements and supplies, the attention of th,sa members of 1111 Government not immediately connec'ed with the War Department will not be much occupied by India. VERNON SMITH and Lard Pzoi - murt2, with Sir CHARLES WOOD, and p rlaaps the E trl e of CLARENDON, can a tt en d to the details of Indian demands; and we can very well sp are t h e whol of the above-mentioned gentlemen'4l services in the • construction of a Raform Bill. There is reason in al this, wo freely admit, a n d if only the two great subjects be not cunningly played off against each other, we shall rejoice to see Indian Reform and RepresentAtiva Reform taken in hand together. Let the country, how ever, as well as the Houses of Parliament prepare for earnest discussion and hard work, if we are to have two great Reforms in one year. A single Rome Government far India—the basis of all Indian reform—will be resisted by the whole strength of the aristocracy ; if for no other reasons, because, first, their mediocre men will not then do for the offices of Indian Minister and Governor-General, and because the Indian and Queen's army must then be amalgamated. The Leaden Hall Directors will of course put forth all their strength to keep a dozen good berths for themselves, and the large patronage they sti:l continue so disinterestedly to retain. They well know that in a small board, under a Minister of State responsible to Parliament, they could find a place only by pre-eminent ability or knowledge of India. Then, for the most part, the defenders of Indian abuses are the same party as will ob struct honest reform at home ; that party, there fore, will be doubly energetic under the impulse of a double set of vested abuses to defend ; abuses which, like most in England, and we suppose elsewhere, are chiefly in favour of the titled or the wealthy. If, then, we are to have almost a reconstruction of our Indian Government and a Reform Bill worth having too, there will be plenty of work for us. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said his best to the working people of Sheffield, when they presented him an address on his presiding at the Ragged School Meeting at that town, but it was impossible for language to be more vague. Is he invited to take office, and fears, therefore, to commit himself ? We believe Mr. DISRAELI would have made a better bid under such auspicious circumstances. Had the HOD. Member for Bucks received an address, as a politician, from working men, most certainly he would have offered them some mini mum of electoral qualification, coupled no doubt with two or three clever Conservative adjustments, by which he would bring the weight of the new voters into the Tory scale ; and all fair too, in party warfare. If the Conservatives can, as we believe they can, extend the franchise very largely to the working classes, and can yet by an appor tionment of members according to population secure the majority of their votes for themselves —then let the Whigs look to their places and their seats ! "I go heartily with the working men of this country to see their franchises ex tended, and that all classes of people may have increased satisfaction in the working of their ii stitutions," said Lord JOHN. We believe, as we have already observed, that the leader of the Opposition would have said more, certainly he would have said as much, and as certainly Mr. WALPOLE, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, and Lord STAN LEY would have all followed him. Lord JOHN must make better bids than this. Government, of course, makes no sign. Even Mr. OSBORNE, once so fluent of %dicta utt3rances, could not be brought to let out a single hint, at Dover, of what we are to expect in the way of Reform. The utmost he could do wa.s to express regret that, "if we are to have another Reform Bill, one eminent public man, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who, whatever may have been his political backslidings, is yet a fine speci men of the English gentleman, and of the Englisa Liberal, and whose name is indissolubly associated with the brightest triumphs of the Liberal cause, is not a member of the Government." Whaz does this mean 7 Is a Reform Bill to be brought in, and is Lord JOHN RUSSELL somehow to be got into the Government ? Is it desirable to con ciliate his entire good-will, if possible ? And, since Lord PALMERSTON cannot give way yet, is Lord JOHN to be placed in the Cabinet, with the charge of the New Reform Bill, as the indemni fication for his not taking the highest post ? If Lord JOHN RUSSELL be wanted as a colleague•, perhaps nothing could more appropriately com pensate for a subordinate position than to make him virtually Secretary of State to a Reform of the Representation. That office he could take with out humiliation—but then he must carry the Bill, and one worth having too. Ho must carry' it, even if he dissolve Parliament to do it.

The rates of transmission, however, are high, and t become generally useful must be reduced. LORD PANMIIRE AND THE INDIAN CRISIS.—Lord Panmure left his shooting quarters last week and at tended a meeting of the county gentlemen at Forfar, where he spoke very warmly in favour of the fund now being raised for the sufferers in India, and then pro ceeded to London to attend a Privy Council.

THE POTATO DISEASE.—The potato disease has sud denly reappeared in the north of Scotland, and in the week has proved Ho fatal that more than half the crop is already destroyed. Tiae harvest, however, is now over, and the crop secured in excellent condition. It is fuliy an avenge crop. Numerous changes are about to be made amonz, the troops which compose the garrison of Paris.

CATTLE FROM THE NoRTH 02 EUROPE.—The impor tations of cattle from the North of Europe continuo. On Friday the City of Norwich steamer arrived at Lowes tuft with 177 beasts and 64 sheep ; and on Saturday morning the Leipsig came into the harbour with a second consignment of 259 boasts. and 379 sheep.

In the Bankruptcy Court an audit meeting was held on Saturday under the bankruptcy of Colonel W. P. Wauaii, of the L mdon and Eastern Bank.

THE SONG OF THE PRESS. (From the Colonist, American paper.) With temples weary and worn, With a throbbing and aching head, An editor said, at his nightly toil, And this is what he said : Write, write, write, My work ne'er seems to grow less, And a most unthankful office it is, Preparing for the Press, Write, wiite write, When the lamp is burning bright ; Write, write, write, Till the stars have vanished quite, 'Twere better to be a slave, And perform any menial work, Than worry myself to an early grave, For a merciless "Public Turk." Write, write, write, Till the body is wan and thin ; Write, write, write, Till I'm nought but bone and skin. Leaders, Revisions, Reports, Reports, Revisions, and Leaders ; Till the brain grows sick, and quite out of sorts — I envy the dullest of readers. Oh, subscribers and readers, reflect, When denouncing the scarceness of news, How hard the task is, all readers to please, And comply with their manifold views ; Write, write, write, Amid moral and political dirt, Scourging and warning with double pen, That dupes may be on the alert. Write, write, write, Line still following lino ; Write, write, write, While the brain for rest must pine, Condense, Review, Arrange, Arrange, Condense, and Review, Till the eyes are dim, and the fingers ache, Yet the work must go on anew. Write, write, write, In the dreary winteL's night; Write, write, write, In the summer's radiant light ; The same insipid routine To me e'er seems Lu ullug, ; Whether cool autumn would tempt me forth, Or the freshness of the spring. Oh ! to enjoy the scenes, Of which the tourist's letters treat, With the glorious sky above my head, And the wavos beneath my feet ; Ah ! for a short respite, A lull to this throb of the brain, That nature might heal my failing strength, And I feel myself again. Oh 1 for that blessed hour When these mental toils shall cease ; When I can view life's turmoil and strife, Unassailed, in my bower of peace. But why should I cherish the thought ? 'Tis for gold relaxation is spread; Where intellect only is given. That intellect works till it's dead. With temples weary and worn, With a throbbing and achin; head, An editor sat, at his midnight toil, And this is what he said : Write, write, write, My work ne'cr seems t o grow less, And a most unthankful task it is, To write copy i or the press. "J. D." TIM PENINSULAR MAlL.—Southampton, Oct. 3. — The Peninsular and Orient3l Stem Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Tagus, Capt. E. Christian, with the usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieut. Gardiner, Admiralty agent, arrived this day, having experienced fine weather daring the voyage. Her freight consists of 6 packages of specie, value 1,943 ; 1 package gold, 50 doublooons ; 239 boxes grapes, 100 barrels figs • 410 boxes, 204 half do., and 132 quarter do. raisins ; 163 chests hmons, and 59 packages of sundries. THE AMERICAN FRIGATE PLYMOUTH.-otl Saturday afternoon Captain Dahlgren and the officers of this. frigate, which has been lying in the Southampton Water for the lat two or three we , ;ks, were entertained at a. sumptuous banquet, given by them by Mr. Alderman. Andreas at his Winchester residence. Mr. WiLiamt Thompson (the United States' Consul), the Mayor off Southampton (I,lr. J. White), and other friends front that town were also among the company, The usual Inyal toasts, together with those of an international oharacter appropriate to the occasion, were drunk, and the American officers seemed much pleased with this friendly treatment they had experienced. The frigate has since stiled on her return to Washington. MINSTRELS.--This most eccentric and en tertaining com pany of mock Ethiopians, after perform. ing with success at the St. James's and Surrey Theatres, have located themselves at the Polygraphic Hall of Mr. Woodin, i n Ki n g William-street, Strand. They rattle away in their several scenes with a rapidity and ouster.- t ation of interest quite surprising. They have their che.- racter entertainment, in which a musical description of a fashionable sleigh ride stands prominently forward ; a musical and terpsichorean melange ; a burlesque Italian opera ; and a succession of character bit , , forming what they call " Plantation Life in the Sunny South." Half, at least, of the entertainment consists of delinea tions of negro life in charac•eristio dress, so that there is nothing of the monotony which has marked previous nigger performances, where gentlemen in black sit in a row, and utter their lugubrious witticisms like so marly lively mutes. We will nut at e apt to pick out any particular individual in the company for special praise. Ail work together in a capital spirit, and each, in his turn, gets his award of approbation for some side splitting sally of eccentricity. VALUE OF LAND AT ALDERSHDT.—The Government bought the lad at Aldershot for, on the average, 171. an acre. Instead of erecting the present barracks in the centre of the 8,000 or 9,000 acres bought, the engincler pitched upon a spot on the extreme edge of the Govern ment land, and beyond which, of course, the militi.ry authorities have no control of any kiwi. The result is that a swarm of public-houses and beer-shops is hemmii3g in the new buillinga, while others aro being built, and will of course soon be accompanied by houses of a stilt worse description. Of course the land in the rear of they barracks has risen in Value more than fifty-fold since the buildings were commenced, and it is said that Govern ment surveyors who came into the market the other day to purchase two acres on which to erect an hospital, had. to pay upwards of 2,0001. for what, 18 months ago, they would have obtained for 341. ; or have Lad for nothing, if the site had been choaen in the centre of their own land r —The Builder. Sin COLIN CAMPBELL—Reports are prevalent that; serious misunderatandurgs have arisen at Calcutta be tween the Governor-General and the Commander-in-; Chi e f. No "Serious misunderstandings" exist. Sir Colin Campbell has very properly resented an imprudent and uncalled-for attempt to limit his authority over the army. The country may rest assured that Sir Colin Campbell is not the man either to exceed his powers or to permit them to be encroached upon. At the same time it is not to be concealed that the presence in the Council at Calcutta of these petty jealousies and imper tinent assumptions upon the part of men, not only ut terly ignorant of war, but who have proved themselves so incapable in a crisis demanding that decision of cha racter for which Sir Colia Campbell is pre-eminent, is deeply to be deplored. It may paralyse the moat vigorous measures of the General-it-Chief, and so hamper the operations of the campaign as to expose him to cla.- feat and disaster, instead of the victory and success he has a right to expect. With respect to the command ttel the cavalry in India, it is believed that Lord Geo. Paget, in prdference to General Scarlett, or to General Jackson at the Cape, will be selected.—The Press. MAJOR GEORGE POWELL THOMAS.—We regret to have to record the death of Major George Powell Thomas, of the 3.1 European Regiments Toe decease(' was seriously indisposed the day before the battle of Agra on the sth of July, when he so gallantly cone- mended and led on five companies of his regiment. Its this action he was severely wounded in the foot, and his horse also receiving three bullets fell over and upon him, thereby injuring his head, from the effects of which he never rallied, but lingered on amid severe suffering until the 4th of August, when he expired in the fort of Agra.. Major George Powell Thomas served with great distinc tion in Affghanistan under General Sir George Pollock, K.C.8., where he commanded a corps of Jezeilchees, and, being at home on sick leave on the breaking out A the war with Russia, he applied for and obtained the command of a regiment in the Turkish Contingent under General Vivian, on which occasion the Queen conferre d upon him the local rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in Tee key ; be', being desirous of more active employment, he volunteered to proceed to the Crimea, and was present set the fall of Sebastopol, far which he received the Crimean medal, to add to the other decorations he had already won in the service of his country. He was known as an author - and artist of considerable merit, having published a volume of poems which were very favourably noticed both here and in India. He was also a first rate linguist, while his sketches of the Himalayas are perhaps the most magnificent productions of the kind that have been published. Major George Powell Thomas was a son of the late Major-General Lewin Thomas, C. 8., whose services in India are too well known to require comment. SHOOTING AT A CLERGYMAN IN THE PULTlT.—Con siderable excitement prevailed at the magistrates' meet ing at Frame, in consequence of a man, named Joseph Ashman, being charged with having discharged a gun at the Rev. G. A. Mahon, while he was engaged in the performance of Divine service in the parish church of Leigh, on Sunday. The sitting magistrates were W. F. Knatchbull, NI P., Dr. Harrison, and N. Barton, Eq., and the court was much crowded. It appeared from the evidence of the Rev. G. A. Mahon and other witnesses, that at about 7 in the evening of Sunday . he was in the pulpit engaged in preaching a sermon, wemo the sudden report of a gun was he ard on the north e s n id of the church, fed wed instantane ousl y b y the aswng of glass in the north window. The minister was observuit t to fall back againet the column of t he p ul p it ast of unconsciousness, and his face and surplice were in stantly covered with blood. As may be supposed, the utmost consternation and alarm was produced—women screamed and fainted, many rushed from the church, whilst others hastened to the help of the clergy man, whom everybody thought had been mur dered. Mr. Mahon bad been struck by the charge and partially stunned, but it was soon ascertained that the greater part of the blood must have been discharged from the gur, and that the or ly wound he lead received was from a fragment of the' glass which was still st:ckir g into the comer of his eye, and was removed by one of the congregation. The inquiries in stituted by he police caused very strong suspicion to fall on the prisoner, who vas arrested. Evidence to fix that suspicion upon him having been adduced, the ma- t gistrates remanded the prisoner to Shepton Mallet-gaol, fq - A ryi Vitr „_4l _7l _Ph.,l J:s4 LOSS OP A RUSSIAN LINE-OF-BATTLE SHIP.-1,000 LIVES LOST. HAMBURG, OCT. 3. We learn from St. Petersburg, via Lubeck, on the Ist inst., that a very awful catastrophe hap pened to a Russian line-of-battle ship between the 21st and 23d ult., in the Gulf of Finland, during a violent storm, in which she foundered, with a crew of upwards of 1,000 souls on board, all of whom perished. About 150 were family men, which renders the misfortune still more calamit ous. The vessel had arrived near the Island of Hogland, from Revel, and her dangerous situa tion was apparent to the crews of several large vessels of war in its vicinity, but, unfortunately, they were not able to render assistance. JASSY, OCT. 3. The elections in Wallachia have terminated, and are in favour of the Union. The Moldavian divan will assemble on the 4th of October, and that of Wallachia on the Bth of the same month. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says : " It has been stated by some Austrian journals that the Emperor Napoleon suggested the meeting of the Czar and the Emperor of Austria. lam able to assure you there is no foundation what ever in these assertions. Immediately the Aus trian Cabinet learnt that the Emperor of the French would meet the Emperor Alexander, the advisers of Francis Joseph took means to solicit the interview at Weimar. The approach was entirely on the part of Austria, and the Emperor of Russia consented more from. courtesy than from political motives to meet his Imperial brother Monarch." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two, the Emu peror, who was accompanied by the Empress, again set out on his return to Chalons. On reaching the Strasburg railway station, their Majesties were re ceived by M. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, Baron d'Hervey, and others of the directors of the com pany. The Empress appeared much struck by the new imperial train, the magnificence of which has been much spoken of. If the weather continues fine her Majesty has made up her mind to lodge w.tli the Emperor under his tent in the camp, and not to occupy thu.appartments prepared for her at the prefecture at Chalons. The imperial train was ex pected to arrive at Chalons at half-past five this , evening. The Imperial Prince is not of. the party, and consequently the report that the Empress in tended to take this opportunity to present him to his regiment of grenadiers is probably incorrect. They say the baby's name is regularly called at muster roll, and that a corporal answers for him Absent on leave with his family." The Court of Cessation has rejected the appeal of Captain Deiteau and Ben liadji, condemn° 3, the first to death, the second to hard labour for life, by the Court of Assizes at Oran. The decr,e is based upon a report drawn by the Procureur-Gene ral upon the case. BOURSE, Oct. 3.—The following were the lasi quotations : Cash. fr.

HAMBURG, Oct. 3.—The opening of the Danish Diet, which took place in Copenhage❑ on the 30th ult. by commission, was effected without much noise or bustle. After the ceremony had taken place, and the Royal Lescript read by the Minister of the Interior, declaring the Parliament opened, the members of the two Chambers, or "Things," pro ceeded to elect the Pi e3idents and Vice-Presideals, which was accordingly done, before the Assembly broke up. The memorial of the Holstein Provincial Diet, relative to the rejection of the constitutional project laid before it by the Danish Government, has been published in the shape of an address to his Majesty the King. During the past nine months 3,845 ships of all descriptions have left, and 3,963 arrived at this port, inclusive, of which 881 of the former were steamers and the remainder sailing vesels, and of the latter 960 were steamers and 3,003 sailing ships. The number of 938 colliers craves that the coal trade has been in a flourishing condition. THE IMPERIAL MEETING EAT WEIMAR. WEIMAR, OCT. 1. The Emperor and Empress of- Russia, nine() Alexander of Hesse, and Prince Gortschakoff ar rived here yesterday evening at 9 o'clock from Darmstadt, accompanied by the Grand Duke an+t Duchess of Weimar, who had gone out to meet them, as far as the Wartburg, where they had all dined together. From hence the entire party drove to Belvedere, the country seat of the Dowager Grand Duchess of Weimar, au aunt of the Em peror of Russia, where they were received by h•3r, the Dowager Queen of the Netherlands, ano'her aunt of the Emperor's, and Duke Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, the uncle of the present Grand Duke - This morning, at 9 o'clock the Envoi or of Austria arrived here from 'Dresden, accompanied by the Grand Duke of Weimar, who bad gone to meet him at the frontier station, and attended by Lieut. Field-Marshal Count von Grutine, the Austrian Minister at Dresden, and two Adjutants. He was received at the railway station by Duke Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, Prince Alexander of Hesse, General Count Clam, the Governor-General of Bohemia, and a numerous staff of Austrian and Weimar officers. The guard of honour presented, and the band played the Austrian national hymn ; and, after but. few prelimi naries, the Emperor drove off to the town, ac companied by the Grand Duke, and followed by Count Grunne with Duke Bernhard. Almost im mediately after, having been introduced to tue Gland Duchess, &taboo/hag had the various officers of the household presented to him, the Emperor drove off in the same carriage that had brought him from the railway, an open barouch with six cream-coloured horses, to pay his visit to the Dowager Grand Duchess and her guests the Em peror and Empress of Russia. The Emperor Francis Joseph had for the occasion assumed the uniform of his Russian regiment, and the blue band of the Andrew's Order. - ~On the arrival of the Emperor Francis Joseph at Belvedere the Dowager o Grand Duchess came to meet him on the steps leading up to the hope, led by the Emperor of Russia ; on which the two Em perors embraced and kissed each other. After they had each of them presented their retinue to the other, t'ae two Emperors retired into a room apart, and conversed for some time alone; they then drove back into the town, still alone, and without a single attendant, the Emperor of Russia seatttd on the right, which .is by no means his custo mary seat when be is free to choose. To j u d ge by the expression of the countenances .of the two y oun g Emperors, who by the bye we re b oth lookiuu in very good health and spirits, matters mustbegoinv smoother and more rapidly here than they 'did in Stuttgal dt. Shortly afterwards the Emperor of Rus sia returned to Belvedere, and then went out shoot ing. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand, went on foot to pay a visit to Dtike Bernhard at the Furstenhary, and then took a drive with the Grand Duke, who himself drove. This meeting of the two Emperors of Russia and Austria in this town has- a precedent in the meeting of the Emperor Alexander 1. with the Emperor Francis 11. after the battle of Lsipsic in 1813, when they met in the head-quarters of the allied army under Prance Sehwartzenberg. WEIMAR, OCT. 2. On leaving the theatre last nigh', the great fol proceeded to Belvedere to supper, and enjoyed on the way thither the spectacle of the rather pretty scenery they passed through, lit up by the !Wel light of numerous torches burning with a red thine (rather a favourite accessory in Wagner's Tann hattser by-the-bye), carried by the outriders and mounted attendants. The two Rivet ors have left this morning by so parate trains—the Emperor FrancisJosephfor Iscbl by way of Dresden, and the Emperor of Russia els° for Dresden, to pay his promised visit to the King of Saxony. It turns out now that there never was any ground for expecting the King of Saxony here, who has plenty to do at home just now with his manoeuvres, bas nothing to do here, bad just had the visit of Francis Joseph, and was about to have that of Alexander. The Empress was to have fol lowed at a later hour, and joined the Emperor at some railway' station between Drezden and Berlin, where they are due to-morrow. Their little daughter Olga has, however, fallen ill, though not seriously, I believe, and the Empress remains here for the present, and the Emperor will return hither in the evening. Their further movements will depend on the health of their child. As regards the results of this meeting of the two Emperors, of Russia and Austria, I am led to con clude that if the object of the meeting was simply to remove the acerbities left by the late war 'by means of personal intercourse, that object has been attained, and a very amicable personal feeling esta blished ; on the other hand, I hear nothing which suggests the idea that any diplomatic business at all was transacted. How it has fared with the fate of Count Buol I am not in a position to report —my own impression is that Francis Joseph is not likely to give up his Minister for any but a very weighty reason, and that Alexander is not, as yet, so far master of the situation as to be able to de mand it, nor Austria so far isolated as to make it imperative for her to pay that price forre-admission to amity with Russia.

Letters from Madrid to the 30th ult. state that is is expected a violent attack will be made on the Ministry at the opening of the Cortes, on occasion of the election of the President and officers of the Chamber of Deputies. AMERICA. LIVE ItPOOL, BAT taiDAY. The British and North American Royal Mai steamship Europa, Leitch commander, has arrived with advices from Boston to the 23d ult., and New York by telegraph via Halifax to the 24th ult. p.m. She brought 55 passengers, but no specie. On the 24th ult. the Europa passed the Royal Mail steamer Canada, hence, for Halifax and Boston ; on the 26th, in lat. 46 N., long. 55.31 W., passed the brig Camerton, steering west ; and on the 2d inst., in lat 51.12 N., long. 12 W., signalised the Judith, of Stonehaven, standing south. The screw steamship Glasgow, from Glasgow, arrived at New York on the 21st ult. On the 16th ult., in lat. 43.3, long 56.30 experienced a severe storm, the wind suddenly chopped from W. to a terrific squall from E. to NW., carrying away every stitch of square canvas, and fore and maintopgal lant mastyards, mainyard, and started mainmast. The screw steam-ship day of Baltimore, hence, and the Indian, from Southampton, had arrived at New York. The erection of the sternpost of the Russian fri gate General-Admiral, building at New York, was inaugurated by a dinner given at the hotel of the Russian Minister. Thirty-seven persons had been poisoned in Ala bama with arsenic mixed in their food by a negro cook, at the instigation, it is alleged, of a Hunga rian. Six of the number had already died. The cook was burnt, and his accomplice was to share the same fate. A despatch from Washington to a Boston paper states : " Senator Slidell has received a letter from Senator Benjamin, dated City of Mexico, 4th i n st., announc i n g that he and hie colleague had succeeded in making satis factory arrangements with the Mexican Government relative to the Tehuantepec transit route, ar.d that Pre sident Comonfort acted in this matter twainst the earnest pretest of our Minister, Mr. Forsyth." From Havannah we learn that business was dull. The stock of sugar was about 200,000 boxes ; holders refused to sell at the reduced prices. There was little doing iu exchange. On London, 10i to 11.

Respecting failures the New York Courier and Enquirer says "The only suspension announced here to-day was that of Messrs. C. W. Field and Co., a firm of well-known wealth, whose suTenoion will probably be only tempo' rary. The notes of the Yates County Bank of Penn Yan were to-day rejected by the Albany Agency, but will probably be reinstated in a few days." Tbere was some excitement caused by reports of further financial difficulties at Boston and Philadel phia, but there was less trouble among the mer chants. Capital continued in active demand, how ever, at very full rates of interest, and the 21st was one of the most stringent days experienced sine°, the commencement of th e p ressure. To the list of the failures given above the New York Journal of Commerce adds : " Messrs. Cyrus W. Field and Co., of this city, paper' dealers, have suspended until the return of the head of the house, who is now on his way home from England, and is expected to arrive (at the latest) 'in the Arabia next week. The other failures of the day here are not of sufficient public interest to be noticed.
