The rumours that have been so strongly circulated respecting the alleged fall of Delhi, and the exemplary punishment of the mutineers, will either be confirmed or completely contradicted. We shall learn also whether the native population and the neighbouring chiefs have remained faithful, or whether they have joined the insurgents and elevated the standard of revolt ; in a word, we shall know whether the reconquest of India must be attempted, at au enormous expenditure of men and money, or whether we shall have a comparatively easy task to perform. So far for the public phase of the interesting topic. But there are many who are labourir g under still greater anxieties, who have those near and dear to them in the disturbed districts ; whose doubts and fears for the safety of sons and daughters, brothers or sisters, will be happily set at rest, or who will find their worst apprehensions realised. When something far worse than death may be dreaded, we can easily anticipate the ex treme excitement that must prevail; and the extraordinary relief that will be experienced on the receipt of trustworthy tidings from the scene of action. The feeling is even more intense than during the progress of the contest in the Crimea. There, even though our friends may have perished, we could look back to their memories with pride tempered by regret. They would fill honoured graves, and have died in the service of a grateful country. But in India there may have been revolting circumtances of sham) or torture, that would make the blool run cold, and materially enhance the anguish consequent on their loss. In ordinary course the news should be received to-morrow. It would not, however, be too much to expect under the peculi ar circumstances of the case, that extraordinary efforts should be made by the Postal authorities to hasten the deliver We may hope that there will be n 3. 0 such muddle as at the last arrival, when private patt i • es antici pated the Government by an entire day, and 26 hours were consumed in flashing the news across the Electric wires. We trust that due precau tions have been taken to prevent the possibility of a repetition of such gross mismanagenaent—.)r such wilful misconduct—for the parties c)ncerned must be tossed on either horn of the delemrna. We have no doubt that Ministers will lose no time in communicating the general features of any despatch they may receive, so as to relieve the very natural public anxi • ety at the earliest posiible moment. The ordinary red-tapist routine mmt be suspended for the occasion. We are glad to find that Ministers at last seem to be partially impressed with the 'nava de c f not disposed .to fatE away t he emergenoh and FRE SUN, LONDON, valuable time by inadequate efforts in the first in stance. By the very judicious interference of Lord CANNING, the troops despatched to China were arrested in transitu and brought to India, where they have, in all probability, already ar rived. The advent of 5,400 picked men will be of incalculable advantage. They may serve to turn the scale, or at least to check the progress of disaffection ? Such a force, under such men as Sir PATRICK GRANT and Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, may accomplish wonderful results within a brief period. In addition to these, nearly 13,000 men have already been despatched direct to India, that is to say, 1 ; 250 Artillerymen, the branch of the service most required in India ; 1,350 cavalry and 10,350 infantry. A force equal to the Chinese expedition, 5,400, is already in course of embarkation, and many more are under orders, so that before the beginning of September nearly 25,000 men will be en route, in addition to the 5,400 that have already ar rived. This is doing something. But what about the gun-boats ? Are these most valuable instruments to remain idle, uselessly rotting in our harbours, while they may be rendering the most efficient service on the Indian coast, or in Indian rivers, and might convey additional troops in the most speedy manner to the scene of action ? Besides, if not required for India they would be invaluable for China, and something is wanting to replace the troops, diverted frum their original destina tion. This, however, falls under Sir CHARLES WOOD'S department, and we confess that we do not anticipate any great display of energy or activity at his hands, unless the pressure from without be very stringently applied ; nor has there been any mention of availing ourselves of , the facilities afforded by the overland route, or trans mitting the troops from the Mediterranean by that way to India, and replacing them by English militia regiments, which would willingly volunteer for service in their place. The Home defences cannot be neglected. It is said that thirty militia regiments aro to be called out, and many others raised to the full war standard. This is good so far as it goes, but is it sufficient ? On that question grave doubts may be entertained ; and we are satisfied that Parliament will willingly strengthen the hands of Government by conferring any additional powers that may be required. The expenses— on which we shall have something to say—is an after consideration. The first duty is to suppress the insurrection and to punish the mutineers, and thus to preserve intact one of the brightest gems in the diadem of our Island QUEEN. " Small JOHNNY" has once more contrived " to upset the coach." The Select Committee has completed its work, and contrived to shelve the question for the present year. We confess that we did not anticipate very much from a body which, in addition to the 25 members nominated, consisted of all the gentlemen of the long robe members of the House. We shall, however, look with some anxiety to the names of those by whose votes the resolution fatal to the independence of the representative branch of the Legislature was carried—who declared that the House of Commons is not included among the "bodies now by law or statute, or any valid usage authorised to adminis ter and receive an oath," and consequently that they are not the soli judges of their own privi leges ; for that is the practical result aimed at by the report. Of course the Noble Lord withdrew the "Oaths, Validity Bill" fOr the present Session, although he uttered " pravn orda" as to the necessity of considering it at " the very commencement of the next Session." And does he seriously antici pate any beneficial result from such a course I Is he not rather in the position of the expectant rustic, watching the gliding river, and vainly hoping fir a change. The Lords have given unequivocol proof of their unflinching determination to make no concession, accept no compromise. There was but one argument that . would have brought them to their senses. They had been vainly urged with fair words. Tufts of grass had been flung against them, and it only remained to try what virtue there was in stones. But Lord J. RUSSELL a second time arrested Vie hand about to cast the useful missile, and, after a contest of ten years, brought back matters to the status quo. It now remains to be seen whether the House of Commons will act on this re port. It is not by any means bound by the resolution of the Select Committee. Hav ing heard i b the report, and the reaso3s whereon it is founded, it is to decide and judge for itself, and we earnestly hope, that it will n3t abdicate the functions, which it has too lolg permitted to remain in abeyance. This :is Vie time for Mr. DILLWYN to bring forward his re solution, and for every liberal member friendly to the complete emancipation of the Jaws, to strain every nerve, to accomplish that important object. If the matter be postponed daring the present session, it may as well be altogether dropped. After another ten years it will be no further advanced tlan it is at present, or than it was in 1847, when Lord JOHN first strove to make political capital out of the q'iestion, and to retain it as a stone in his sleeve against the pos sible advent of a Tory or Conservative Ministry. It will be a constant source of irritation, a thorn rankling in the national side. But the sore will remain open, and eventually lead to far more serious collision than any that would attend the carrying of Mr. DILLWYN'S resolution. One thing is quite clear, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is not the man for the emergency. Twice hag he stopped the course of Jewish Emancipation— twice directed the vessel he undertook t) steer, among the shoals and quicksands. "Incidit in Seyllanc, dam vult evitare Charybdim." In showing a fancied, and by no means formid able impediment, he shipwrecked the gallant barque entrusted to his care. The matter must now be taken out of such incompetent hands, and entrusted to those who, with greater skill and boldness, can undertake to weather the storm. We think that the citizens of London, who have displayed such extraordinary and disin terested zeal in the cause, who have submitted to partial disfranchisment for ten years, have a right to call on Baron ROTHSCHILD to present himself at the table, and offer t) take the oaths in the form most binding on his conscience. This is the only course that can bring the dispute to a satis factory conclusion. If a majority of the House de cide i n f avour of his right, we do not think that any plaintiff will venture to bring, any attorney to supp or t, or any tribunal to entertain, an action for penalties. At all even t s, a person i n the Baron's p os iti on, who ha s p u t hi mse l f forw i ard as the champion of a great principle, s h ou ld no t hesitate at any risk, which is grea t er to the ima gination than in reality. We EC - tl satisfi e d th a t personally he would be quit e willing to ao so i and what he has now chiefly to dread:lls the wo are . timid counsels of his so-calle d friends, h more formidable to 1),,i3 cause than his ope n an d avowed opponents. LATEST NEW HAVRE, TUESDAY MORNING. The Imperial yacht, Queen Hortense, arrived at 12 o'clock last night, with the Emperor and the Empro3ss of the French on board of her. NAPLES, AUGU ST 8. Recent events confirm the King more than ever in the policy of compression which he had adopted. The preliminary proceedings in the affair of the Cagliari are proceeding. The prisoners will be ithortly transferred to Salerno, where quarters have been prepared for them. The refusal of the Government to restore some packages captured on board the Cagliari will pro bably lead to a definitive rupture between Sardinia and Naples. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. MALTA, Aug. 7, Noon.— Neither the Valetta nor the Indus, with the India and China, nor the Jura, with the Australian mails, has as yet arrived. The Cambria, to convey the latter to Marseilles, will not await them beyond the 10th. Her Ma jesty's steam gunboat Wanderer will be despatched by Admiral Stopford to Cagliari to telegraph to England any news of importance. It is doubtful whether the London journals will bo allowed to avail themselves of this expeditious mode of com munication. Nothing new. The following is the letter of the Times' Paris correspondent, dated yesterday (Monday) G p.m. : " It was never believed that any serious quarrel between France and England would follow from the difference on the Moldavian elections. A good deal of the difficulty is attributable to the imprudent tone of the articles in the Moniteur, and probably to the indiscretions of the French Commissioner in Wallachia in discretions which were so patent in the be ginning as, it was said, to require an admonition, if not a reprimand, fram his superiors. That the Paris press has shown wonderful unanimity in favor of the union of the Principalities, and against the Kaimakan Vogorides, is undeniable ; but it is easily explained. That England is supposed to be against the union is of itself sufficient for the Legi timist papers to defend it. The Republican Siecle is the great advocate of what is termed nationalities ; it regards Austria as the implacable foe of national independence ; it considers that the union of the provinces would inevitably lead to the existence of an independent Roumain State, whether republic or kingdom, and whatever tends to weaken Austria is, of course, good in the eyes of the Siecle. The loss of Transylvania, the Bukovine, and the Banat, and Austria's expulsion from Lombardy, are, ac cording to it, the greatest blessings that could be fal Europe. " As — for the Constitutronnel and Pay s , they support the Government because they cannot do otherwise. What side they would take if they were not semi-official organs I do not pretend to say, but it naturally detracts from the value of their advocacy that they are bound by the conditions of their existence to de fend the Government policy, of whatever kind it be. The matter, however, is likely to take a new turn, which will disappoint those who hoped to see in the elections of Moldavia the germ of serious mis understanding between France and England. It is said that a despatch was yesterday received from the French Minister, that the conference at Osborne had a satisfactory result, and this day it is stated that the pending difficulties are to be submitted for solution, like those on Bolgrad, to a conference of the representatives of the Powers interested. It also appears that it was the Emperor himself who suggested this solution. The despatch adds that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, whose name seems to frighten the Ministerial jour nalists out of their wits, is expected in a few days in England on leave of absence. Where the new conference will be held is not stated, but it will pro bably be either Paris or London." .AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. The steamer Vanderbilt, Captain Edward Hig. gins, arrived off Cowes this morning with the mails of the Ist inst., having made the passage in 9 days 13 hours mean time. She has 173 passengers, and a pair of splendid bay horses for the Emperor Napoleon, and on freight 526,500 dollars. The steamer Indiana, from Southampton, ar rived at New York on the morning of the 29th ult. ; the Ariel at coon on the same day ; the Washing ton at 11 o'clock the same night ; and the Europa, from Liverpool, at Halifax, at 10 p.m. on the 29th. The vanguard of the army for tft%h set out from Leavenworth, Kansas, for the Salt Lake city on the 11th ult. The sloop of war Cyane arrived at Boston on the 29th, with 53 of Geo. Walker's men. There is no political news. The sales of cotton at New York on the 30th embraced about 1,000 bales, the market closing firm on the basis of 151 c. to 15ic. for middling Up lands and New Orleans. Flour was unchanged in prices, while some de scriptions of common grades were said to be rather firmer ; the sales were moderate, and confined mostly to the local and eastern trade ; wheat was quiet, and New Southern was unchanged. The sales of old were confined to Milwaukie Club, at $1.45 to $1.48 ; and common Canada White to $1.76. In dian corn was firm, with sales of Western Mixed at 89c. to 90c. Pork was quiet, but firmly held at about 24 dollars to 25 dollars. Sugars were in fair activity, with sales of 1,300 hhds. Coffee was firm, and more active ; the sales embraced 4,340 bags Rio at 114 c. to 111 c. In freights there was some more offering, but engagements were moderate, and quotations unchanged. The stock-market bad lost all its buoyancy. The downward movement had fairly set in, and we may expect, with occasional re-actions, a steady decline in all the most inflated railroad stocks at the first board :—Virgina Nines fell off 4 per cent. ; Illinois Central Bonds, ; Galena and Chicago Second Mort gage Bonds, ; New York Central Railroad, ; Reading, ; Milwaukie and Mississippi, 4 ; Illi nois Central Railroad, ; Galena, and Chicago, 4 ; Cleveland and Toledo, I ; La Crosse and Milwau kie, ; Pennsylvania coal advanced 14 per cent. ; Michigan Southern, n ; New York Central con tinues quite active. The transactions in this stock for some days had been to a very large amount. At the second board the market was weak. Michigan Southern Railroad fell off' f per cent. from the opening, and closed heavy ; Erie declined f per cent. ; Milwaukie and . Mississippi, ; Chicago and Rock Island advanced 4 per cent. ; New York Central sold at 82& ex dividend of 4 per cent. ; Pennsylvania Coal Company sold at 87 per cent. PHILADELPHI, JULY 31.

There is no new feature in grrain, no wheat or corn being on th r e market ortafloat and none expected before the commencement of next week. No sales were made to arrive, b,ilyers' and sellers' views being apart. BUFF...A.LO, JUL 131. dols. les of 801 c. elos bisky, Flour unchanged : sales of 400 barrels at 6 to 7 dols. for extra Ohio.

It 11. is been occupied principally in debates, which cannot but have a good Eff,ct in educating the public mind, and maturing various difficult questions for future legislation. While, on the one kan,t, the events of the session have put beyond doubt, if any such proof were wanting, the di-po sition which exists to respect your rights, and accord to you the utmost freedom of debate, I have, on the other hand to ackno w l e d ge , an d I do acknowledge cordially, the attention which you have bestowed on various propositions made by th 3 executive government, and the readiness with which you voted all the pensions and gratuities which the Senate recommended. The act placing the public instruction on a new basis may nor, be perfect in all points, but it is a step in the right direction, and by insuring a complete and direct responsibility in the functionary who shall be charged with its execution cannot fail to ensure the future adoption of those improvements which the experience of its working may suggest. The new act as to pensions will, I trust, produce the bene fits it aims at, and lighten the pressure on the public resources, while it ensures an adequate re fringpension to deserving public servants. There is in the scheme this great advantage, that as five years must elapse before pensions can become available under it, the information obtained in the meantime, and an accurate inspection of the annual accounts, will enable the legislature to apply a timely remedy t any omission or threatening evil before it can make itself felt. I regret that the recommendations which 1 made as to the repair and improvement of the ports in the different islands have proved abor tive as regards all but Corfu, for which, if the gene ral treasury can afford the 3,0001. voted, a com mencement may be made ; but everywhere accom modation and shelter are sadly wanted for the numerous vessels which the constantly increasing commerce of the islands employs in constantly increasing numbers. I have only to add that I trust the blessin g of providence will realise the promise which the present appearance of the crops holds out, and crown the domestic employments which now invite your cares, with results advan tageous alike to private and to the public resources. In every case you may rely upon the Government exercising a vigillaut surveillance over the various departments of the public service, and of its en deavouring to reconcile the opinions you may have expressed with such economy and such regard to the interests of the public service as are peculiarly its province to determine, and its duty to exercise. A great and free country has generously accorded to these islands their existing liberties ; and all that is wanted to secure the prosperity and happi ness of the people is that good intelligence which I wish to see cultivated between the several powers, of the state." The government Gazette of Saturday (the Ist inst.) contains the following announcement :—"The Qaeen has been graciously pleased to make the following promotions in the order of Sr. Michael and St. George :—Sir Dionsio Flamburiari, Knight Commander, to be Knight Grand Cross • Dr. Dernetrio Curcumelli, Companion, to be Knight Commander." Flamburiari is the President of the Assembly, and Curcumelli is Advocate-General, and a member of the Assembly. Their promotion, it is to be presumed, is an expression of approbation of their conduct in the meeting of the Assembly which voted the Proces-Verba, declaring that henceforth the English government in the lonian Islands is a government not of law, but of brute force. The Madrid Gazette of the Gth announces various nominations to bishoprics. The Discussion had been condemned to a fine of 10,000 reals for pliblishing an article offensive to the Government in the number of the 13th ult. The Courrier de Lyon says :—" Rain fell again yesterday (Friday) morning and lasted part of the day. Although it has not fallen in sufficient quan tity it has partially relieved us from the drought from which we have been suffering and has refreshed the air." The French government, according to a Paris letter in the Independence of Brussels, has decided that the part of Kabylia recently conquered shall become a military sub-division. A telegraphic despatch from Hamburgh announcs that the Grand Duchess Constantine of Russia em barked on Saturday evening at Keil, with her three children and a very numerous suite in the Gre miastchy and the Grosiastchy steamers for St. Pe tersburg. 7HE SUBMARINE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. (OFFICIAL INFORMATION.) VALENTIA, MONDAY 4 P.M. The -work of laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable is going on up to the present time as satis factorily as its best friends can desire. Nearly 300 miles have now been successfully laid down into the sea. The depth of water into which the cable is now being submerged is about 1,700 fathoms, or about two miles. Tho transition from the shallow to the greater depths was effected without difficulty. The signals are everything an electrician could desire. The ships are sailing with a moderate fair breeze, and paying out at the rate of five miles per hour. Messages aro being instantly interchanged be tween the ships and the shore. All are well on board, in excellent spirits, and hourly becoming more and more trustful of success. (Signed) WILLIAM WHITEUOUSE, Electrican. GEORGE SAWARB, Secretary. THE SESSION.—The Ministerial whitebait dinner, in anticipation of the doss of the session, will take place on Saturday next, at the Trafalgar, Greenwich. SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (attended by his Aid-de-Camp, Colonel Tyrwhitt), Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Equerry in Waiting to the Queen), and Sir James Clark (her Majesty's Physician), landed in the docks this afternoon from the Royal steam yacht Fairy, Captain Crispin, on their return from Osborne, where they had been on a visit to her Majesty and the Emperor and Empress of the French. A Royal salute was fired from the Melampus frigate, off Netley, as the Fairy passed by with the Royal standard flying at the main. The distioguished party left for London by the 5 o'clock train. The steamer Queen has arrived from Hong-Kong, but has only 64,600 lbs. of tea on freight. Tae steamer Ethiope has brought 2,957 oss. of gold, worth about 11,5001, from the West Coast of Arden The steamer Great Britain, homeward bound from Melbourne, with 406,6001. in gold on freight, has now been 82 days at sea. • CALEDONIAN BANK.—At the annual meeting of this bank, in Inverness, a dividend of 8 per cent. was de clared, without deduction of income tax. It is stated in good quarters that the forthcoming di vidend of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany will be at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. Small quantities of gold continue to arrive from St. Petersburg. The steamer Moscow, which recently arrived at Hull, brought four cases of specie, worth a few thousand pounds. GREAT YARMOUTH ELECTION.—At the nomination yesterday morning, A. W. Young, Esq., and John Mellor, E-q., the Liberal candidates, were elected without opposition. BIRMINGHAM ELECTION.—The nomination took place at twelve o'clock yesterday in the Town hall, which was crowded. Mr. Bright was proposed by Alderman Lloyd, and seconded by Mr. G. Edmonds ' and was de clared elected, amidst the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Bright was not present. Mr. Duncan Maclaren, of Edinburgh, acknowledged the honour on his behalf. ELECTION FOR FALKIRK. —The election of a represen tative for these burghs took place at Falkirk on Satur day afternoon, when Captain Hamilton, of Dalziel, was returned without opposition. Mr. Merry having bet n loudly called for, came forward to the front of Vest hustings amidst the most vociferous cheering. He made a brief but spirited speech on the late contest fur the burghs, and his being unseated on petition. LAUNCH OF THE MELPOMENE. —A. splendid 50-gun screw frigate called the Melpomene, was successfully launched at Pembroke-yard on Saturday evening. The tides were late, and it was seven o'clock before the dog shores were knocked down, immediately after which away she rushed into the still and placid eaters of Milford Haven, amidst the loud huzzas of an immense concourse of spectators. The Melnomene is one of those vessels that had to be cut in the middle and lengthened for the reception of the screw, by which she bas been made a most useful and efficient man-of-war. fler diraeneions (as follows) rove her immense power : Length between the perpendiculars, 237.0 ; length of keel-for tonnage, 202.2 k ; breadth, extreme, 52.0 ; breadth for tonnag ; e, 51 6 - breadth, moulded, 50.8 ; depth of hold, 16.8 burthen in tons, 2,8521 ; horse power engines, 600. GUNBOAT SQUADRON IN CHINA.—Now that our newly• constructed gunboats have been called into action, al ready there appears to be many " lame ducks" among them, arising from defects in machinery and equipment. This must sadly mar the efficiency of the service. Atten tion is drawn to the circumstance of the admiral having hired the small paddle-wheel steamer Hong Kong,' about 250 tons burthen, and carrying the commodore's flag. Tills steamer has been continually employed on the Chinese waters for the last ten years, alwayseand at all times efficient both in hull and machinery, and at ;hie time doing the Sate good service, having been selected to carry the flag of the gallant Keppel, and being the only steamer of the squadron that could pro ceed to support the final exploit at Fatsban, all the gun boats proper being hors de combat. Surely, it is,worthy of inquiry who constructed the hull, and whose and what description of engines the vessel is supplied with. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. Tibaldi, Bartrdotti, and Grilli, since their con demnation, have been kept in the prison Mazas, and are placed, as before, in separate cells. They appear all greatly discouraged, and especia'ly Ti baldi ; and he alone, it is said, contemplates an appeal to the Court of Cessation. The formalities to be observed in the proceedings against Mezzini, Ledru Rollin, Campanella, and lyl assaren ti w ill oc cupy about three weeks so that their case cannot be brought before the Court of Assizes until the first session of September. As in all charges against contumacious persons, the proceedings before the court will be very brief, and the decision will be given without the participation of a jury. It is said that Ledru Rollin intends to address a long letter, or rather a species of memoir, to the presi dent of the Court of Assizes ; but no account can be officially taken of it. _ In the Paris corn market, during the past week, the amount of business transacted was not very great. The tendency at first was slightly upwards, but afterwards, when the rain had fallen, a decline and flour was generally of the week. The f o ur o f offered one o f franc n t c h e t o lasto k place, ays marks, which, at first were firm at 68f. and 68F. 59c., were afterwards sold at 67f., and the general belief was that prices would become lower. Wheat was offered—best qualities at 38f. and 39f. the hec tolitre and a half, and inferior sorts at from 36f. to 34f. The quotations from the country markets are slightly lower. Th 3 following private telegraphic despatch has been received : 4g MARSEILLES, August 10. " The accounts from Genoa of the Bth instant informs us of the execution of two convicts and of the continuation of the effervescence which has declared itself in the convict prison. A conspiracy has been discovered, of which the object was the Escape of the convicts by murdering the gaolers. An attempt was made to murder two turnkeys. " The Gazetta del Popolo says that the convicts are furious at the failure of the last conspiracy, because Mazzini promised to free them. " The Neapolitan refugees announce that in publishing the manuscripts left by Pisacane, they will suppress the political parts. BOURSE, Aug. 10,—The following were the last quotations Cash. fr. c.

"We have received," says the Constitutionnel, "letters from Jassy to the 31st ult., and the Mol davian Gazette of the 30th ult. The official journal of the Caimacan contains no political document. In spite of the great anxiety which prevailsamongst the public, M. Yogorides had simply issued some orders of the day for effecting changes in the uni form of soldiers of the artillery, and for causing an inquiry to be instituted by Prince Mormizi into the best means of affording facilities to the commerce of (-alatz. As to the letters, they have 10 - it their interest since the recent events at Constantinople ; but they contain some new details on the electoral operations which are worth quoting :—From a statistical return which has been drawn up with great care, it appears that in the election of the clergy in the three districts of Jassy, Rommo, and Houshi, there were 16 vote 3 to 179 abstentions ; and that in the elections of the large landowners in the 13 districts, there were 214 votes and 263 abstentions. Of 477 electors the ab solute majority is 238: consequently assuming the liars of the Caimacan to be correct, the deputies elected did not even obtain -the majority of the votes of the electoral body. The deputies elected at Jassy are MM. Stourdza, Asaki, Draghiez, and Bousada. The first, a grand boyard, was Secretary of State under M. Balche ; the second is editor of the Moldavian Gazette ; the third is a funtionary of the Goverment, and the fourth an advocate. None of them is regarded as the representative of the district, and the majority disputes the validity of their election. M. Vogorides has been guilty of a new act of violence :—He has caused the ex-secre tary of the municipality of Jassy to be lodged in prison for having refused to vote, and having re commended several electors to follow his example. The inhabitants of the towns continue prudently t) abstain from any manifestation ; and in the country districts the peasantry preserve the most tranquil attitude." TURKEY. " The recent ministerial change at Constan tinople," says a letter from Vienna, " alth oug h unexpected, has not produced in our governmental world so great a sensation as might have been ex pected. A persuasion is felt here that the retire ment of Reschid Pacha from the post of grand vizir will only be temporary and that he will be again very shortly called on to direct the foreign and home policy of Turkey. The Sultan has evidently only yielded temporarily before the energetic attitude of the French Ambassador at Constan tinople on the subject of the Moldavian elections. Once that exciting question settled, Reschid Pacha will be replaced by his sovereign at the head of affairs." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" It is well known that in a convention concluded between Russia and Turkey and annexed to the treaty of Paris, the former bound herself not to station more than twelve vessels of war in the Black Sea. The number of transports however was not limited, and it would by easy for Russia by armi ng th em t o evade the stipulations i of the treaty. N o t, how ever, wishing to act n such a manner, and the number of vessels of war fixed by the treaty being insufficient for effectually carrying on her opera tions on the coast of Circassia, the Russian govern ment has applied to the Porte through M. de Boutenieff, to obtain a modification of the conven tion in question, subject to the consent of the powers who signed the treaty of. Paris, and who will be applied to as soon as au arrangement has been come to between Russia and the Porte." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 7th says :—" It was natural that Austria, when she knew the intention of Prus , ia to protest against the elections in Moldavia, should have made representations to our cabinet destined to persuade it from taking such a step. In these representations, Austria principally in sisted on the fact that that step would ba an en croachment on the independence of the Porte. The Prussian cabinet, in its reply, states that it will abide purely and simply by the treaty of Paris and by the reports of its commissioner. As to the reproach of encroaching on the independence of the Porte, its reply is that it is the powers which have advisei Turkey not to attend to the treaty. of Paris that have rendered themselves liable to that reproach. IN .• • • .EMI/1.,Md..11 AUSTRIA. Another communication from Vienna of the 6th says :—" A long conference, which took place yesterday between Count Buol, Sir Hamilton Seymour, and Prince Callinaaki, was solely on the question of the Danubian principalities. The change of ministry in Turkey has in no WAY modified the ideas of the Ottoma n Cabinet on that subject. Th e c h an ge of ministry b as been a sim ple change o f and tend enc i es rema ining unaltered. TAB is pers o ns, the form er p olitical views what was positively declared yesterday by the Turkish ambassador, and the mos t com p lete ac cord which e x i s t s between England, Austria, aid Turkey was again proved on this occasion. Inblliaence from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, states that b the Porte has dispatched to its represen tatives abroad a statement relative to the Molda vian elections. it replies to certain facts, of which tha French journals have complained, and seeks to prove that they must be attributed to the peculiar organisation of the principalities. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. CORFU, AUG. 4. Yesterday, Sir John Young closed the Legis lative Session with the following speech : " Mr. President and Gentlemen, —In closing the session, which has now excPeded the constitu tional term, I have to congratulate you and myself on the fact. that, {or the first time.siuce the refoun LITERATURE. Post-Office Directory of Yorkshire. Kelly and Co. The enterprising publishers of the London Di rectory have been encouraged by the public appre ciation of that valuable work, to ext c nd their labours over the . whole of England. The Directories of the Southern and Midland counties have been already issued, and they have now turned their at' ention to the North. The large and important county of York is the first they have produced, and from its reze and population, it has proved, we are told in the preface, the most laborious task hitherto uncle taken by them. In the size of the volume indeed, it approaches the nearest to its great metro politan predecessor, and when we consider the dis persion of the inhabitants through so large a space, and the many other obstacles necessarily attending the compilation of a country directory, we can, in some measure, appreciate the magnitude of the task. The projectors, however, tell us that it will be found as accurate as any other of their works, and, from their long-established reputation in this important and indispensable line of luii ness, we give full credit to the assertion. The alterations which occurred during the progress of the work have bean carried in, and the volume contains an account of every city, town, parish, and township within the county. In addition, a list of all the seats and private resi dences is given, and the street and commercial directories aro compiled in precisely the same man ner as those in the London Directory. The intro duction gives an account of the city of York and all the principal public buildings; and to each town is prefixed a description of its pe culiarities, the churches, schools, and other chief establishments in the neighbourhood. All the magistrates, chief officers, (&c., are given and the dissolution of Parliament hav ing taken place since the completion of the work a list of the new members is added. Maps of the three Ridings render the work complete. Great as were already the obligations of the public to Messrs. Kelly. they are increased by the successful prosecution of the arduous under taking of bringing the whole of England under the same clear and comprehensive commercial, census. The present important instalment fully maintains the character of the series, being compen diousin its extnet, and authentic in its information. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The management of Messrs. F. Robson and W. S. Emden commenced list night under the most favour. able auspices. At the conclusion of the first piece, " A Subterfuge," which served for die exhibition of some very refined acting on the part of Mrs. Stirling, Mr. F. Robson came forward and delivered his opening address, which was as follows : That's all I know — The words I had to speak awhile ago And may have yet, for back they still may come anon, Have taken flight at such a strange phenomenon. That must have been the work of fairy elves, I don't know if you noticed it yourselves. Let me describe it :—On this very stage, My home from infancy—not as to age, I could talk when I came here—that's all one, But here I felt my feet and learnt to run. Well, scarcely had I found myself alone Within this house, whose size I thought I'd known, When this occurred—the stage sank down twelve feet, The roof flew up and seem'd the skies to meet, The walls ran back and left of boards a plain, Say from Newcastle-street to Drury-lane. I in the midst of it—about as large As a stray oyster in an empty barge, Or Marius—Mario—l beg your pardon, Sitting among the bricks of Covent Garden. E'en now it seems than formerly much bigger, Yet rather more adapted to my figure. What in the size of my paternal mansion Could have created such a strange expansion ? I know—and any youth can feel with me, Whose tender parents have gene out to tea And left him all alone (his heart's desire), With strict injunctions not to play with fire, To mind the house. How vast each room appears ; _ And on a person of such tender years What dread responsibilities to fall. Suppose, for instance, visitors should call. Seats in the best of rooms he can't refuse them ; Bat what to give them—how shall he amuse them ? He cannot do the ill-behaved or glum thing And keep the doors shut, or he might lose something. To make the best of it he can but try — Ladies and gentlemen, that boy am I. They who as parents kind in art have stood for me (Who never gave me aught but what was good for me), Have left the house, perhaps for many a day, Not to enjoy themselves, I grieve to say ; And I am left to fill the master's place, And save his house's honour from disgrace. Well, I have been educated with propriety, I have passed four years in very good society; And for a host I've had instructions ample In studying a gentleman's example. Besides (my recent image to employ), I've this advantage o'er the lonely boy— My anxious father and considerate mother Have left me in charge of my big brother— A steady youth, with brain quite free from dizziness, Who has for years attended to the business. You know him—of ill-breeding not a particle, And such a judge of a superior article; Trusting to his urbane and wise direction, I need but play, he'll see to the connexion. From drawing room to shop ! The flight's absurd. Let me be serious—in a parting word. An exiled King, hail'd back to France's Throne, S -Lid to his.people ('tie a tale well known)— " Why do you shout? The Monarch you restore Brings France no change—only one Frenchman more?' In our small realm, decreed to rulers new, The form of government approved by you, We would not change--improvements here and there, When wanted, to attempt we will not spare— Oar base the same—no grief shall you express Save for an actor and an actress less. This address was excellently spoken by the new manager, who was received with the greatest enthusiasm. When called at the conclusion of the oration he led for ward his partner, Mr. W. S. Emden, and an outburst of enthusiasm was the satisfactory result. Mr. Wilkie Collins's " Lighthouse," was afterwards played for the first time. Everything that could be done to render a piece effective was done on this occasion ; and the success of the drama was proved by the call for the author, who bowed from a private box. The excel lent burlesque on " Maeaniello " brought the evening's performance to a mirthful conclusion. EAYMA RKET THEATRE. Last evening Mr. Charles Mathews commenced a brief engagement at this theatre previous to the depar ture for America. The pi,ces selected for the occasion were the "Game of Speculation" and " Cool as a Cucum ber." He was as spirited and joyful as ever in his de lineation of the character of Mr. Affable Hawk, a city speculator, whose whole thoughts are engrossed in form ing speculative companies and time bargainF. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Mathews came forward to receive the congratulations and best wishes of a very crowded audience for his success on the other side of the Atlantic. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. The meetings at Lewes and Wolverhampton drew off the principal "book-makers" and "gentleman turfites," and the room was therefore very thinly attended. Although it was opened on Saturday, for the settle ment of the Brighton accounts, yet on that day the busintss of paying and receiving was not briskly con ducted. Monday is the recognised " settling day," and the inconvenience and delay which are occasioned by attempting to change it, have excited many wall-founded complaints. Many of last week's accounts will now stand over until Monday. The only bets made were the following : GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES. sto 2 agst Vedette (taken end offered) 10 to 1 agst Blink Bonny (taken and offered) ST.

Another of these grand Eastern spectacles, for the production of which this house is so remarkable, was performed for the first time last night, and met with the most triumphant sucaese. The title of this spectacle, "El Hyder, the Chief of the Ghaut Mountains," will of itself suggest the nature of the piece, and therefore we only state that it abounds with the most stirring inci dents, amongst which is the capture of Delhi and " the triumph of the British flag, and (he rightful heir to the throne of Hindostan." The applause of the audience at the fall of the curtain was enthusiastic, amidst which the pieeo was given out for " repetition every evening until further notice." The "scenes in the arena" fol lowed the spectacle, in which Madlle. the great Parisian equestrian, created a perfect furore. The house was crowded in every part. THE BIZODE.R. D U BLIN, MONDAY EVENING. This morning, after the re-examination of two wit nesses for the prosecution, Mr. Curran opened his speech for the defence. The address of the learned counsel occupied nearly four hours in the delivery. Having concluded, Mr. Joseph Cabrey, the engineer of the Midland Great Western Railway Company, ani Mr, P e mberton, the chier clerk of Capel-street police office, were exatnined, the former with reference to thr measurement of the cottage and the railway premises, and the latter with regard tl the discrepancies between the sworn information and the evidence given on the trial. Mr. Sydney having said a few words in reply to a rebutting case, Mr. Brewster addressed the jury far the prosecution, and occupied the court till it rising at seven o'clock. The charge to the jury wilt be delivered to-morrow morning. The Courrier Pranco-Italien states that the re rain of a pre. s which Guttenberg used to draw off his firs; proofs has been found at Mentz. It bears the date 1440.

A demand had arisen for Indian corn, chiefly for Southern Europe, and the price of this article was consequently firmer. The measures of the East India Company and of her Majesty's Government to strengthen the hands of the Governor-General in the present momentous conjecture (says Smith, Elder 47 Co.'s Overland Mail) have in no measure relaxed. Further reinforcements, consisting of four new infantry regiments (the 44th, 56th, 66th, and 72nd), two more regiments of cavalry (the Ist Dragoons and 7th Hussars), and two additional troops, or com panies, of artillery, with guns and equipments complete, have been placed under orders for India since the date of our last despatch. A large nueber of vessels, in cluding several screw-steamers, have been taken up for their conveyance ; and every possible exertion is being made to expedite their departure. Meanwhile, the members of the Civil Service now on furlough in Eng. laud, have been ordered out to India, under the same conditions, and with the same reservation, as in the case of their military brethren.

On picking it up he found it to be very weighty, and on opening it a bar of gold was discovered, which, on being taken to the London and County Bank, in Nelson-street, was found to weigh 39 ounces, and to be .vorth at least 1501. Mr. Grenfield having bad posses sion of the precious metal about an hour and a half was matted upon by the owner, who gave so accurate a de scription of the spot where the parcel was left and found, and of its contents, that Mr. Grenfield restored it to film, the owner saying that he had a brother living in drand.street, in this town, who was employed by Mr. vlorley, and that he had only had the gold dust run lown the day previously, the bar of gold being the pro- Mee of 11 years' toil in California. On having his pre- Jerty restored to him the Californian adventurer handed qr. Grenfield a sovereign, promising to see him another lay. They met again on Tuesday list, when Mr. Gren deld had two mere sovereigns handed to him, one of ehich he refused to accept, remarking that if the owner was satisfied at recovering his property for the 2/. he . as perfectly satisfied in receiving only t ,at amount...
