In another part of this day's impression will be found a letter, signed "Justice to the Op pressed," to which we readily give insertion, on the golden rule, au di alteram partem, on which we have always acted, and shall ever continue to act. Truth will always be advanced by full and fair discussion, anti that it is our desire to obtain, although the views promulgated may happen to be opposed to those which, on calm and attentive oJwideration, we may ourselves have taken on the subject. Our correspondent gives us credit for an anxious wish to advocate the cause and ame liorate the condition of "the oppressed nation alities" in all parts of the globe ; and on that s ubject we have " nailed our colours to the" mast," and shall never haul them down until there is re dly " justice to the oppressed" of all nation?, tribes, and languages throughout the civilised world. We must, however, question the fact whether the union of the Danubian Principalities under a I foreign Prince would be for the benefit of the people—whether we should not rather be rivetting their, chains under the affected garb of liberality. We may well be permitted to doubt the value and permanence of that freedom to be produced under the auspices of Ru-sia, France, and Prussia, to hesitate before yielding unconditional credence to the nevi-fl Aged z2al of the Emperor NAPOLEON on beh a lf of the freedom and purity of elec ti on. ‘ ' Timeo Dc,,,,,, et dons ferentes," exclaimed the Trojan Priest, and his salutary caution, if duly acted on, might have delayed the doom of /Wm. We cannot, there fore, with the experience of the recent nonela tieett • ons before us, at one unegnivocaLy accept the protestations against al leged abuses in Wallachia and Moldavia. Nor can we participate in playing the Russian aame, because it is asserted—although w i th n . t ° a par ticle of proof—that " the whole hop e of the five millions of inhabitants is in being united un d er a foreign Prince, as their only guarantee of the 1 future." It may not be merely " a French idea,” although it has been acted on and energetically pursued by the French Aenbassalor, at C install tinople. But it is a Russian one actively pro moted by Russian influence from the very mo ment that the war was brought to a most lam e, and most impotent conclusion, and Ru4sia per mitted to escape with impunity from the COMP queuces of her unwarrantable aggression on the security and independence of Turkey, and her palpable attempts to divide the assets of the " Sick Man." 1 , We entered into the late war as the protectors, and defenders of the Sublia►e P,rte. It would be an extraordinary sequerLe it our neat step were to rHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 15 7 strip her of some of her fairest provinces, and to erect on the ruins a government that, as the tool of Russia, would be a perpetual thorn rankling in her side. We do not want either a King Log or a King Stork—one that will be a mere puppet in the hands of the AUTOCRAT, or a satrap receiving his instructions from St. Petersburg. The best protection to the Principalities, as well as to Turkey, will be in their very weakness, and in the guarantee of the Powers for their security and comparative independence. We have witnessed the consequences of erecting a quasi monarchy in Greece, and should be warned by the example against being too easily led into a similar course —and elevating a second OTHO, another AMELIA— to carry out the designs of the CZAR, and practi cally extend his empire from the banks of the Pruth to the Danube. _ _ We repeat that there is not a particle of foun dation for the assertion of the unanimity of the people of the Principalities for an union and the elevation of a foreign Prince to the throne. All the evidence is, in fact, the other way. The elec tions, such as they were, resulted altogether in favour of the opinions entertained by Eng land, Austria, and Turkey. It is said that undue influence was used. But where is the proof? Inquiry was suggested. It was proposed that the Caimacans should be summoned to Con. stantinople to explain their conduct, and submit to a rigid investigation, but this was summarily and contumeliously rejected by the representatives of Russia, Prussia, France, and Sardinia. They wanted " to beg the question," to assume that because the result was not in accordance with their wishes, it must be forthwith set aside ; and acted with as much arrogance and hauteur as MENSCHIKOFF himself when despatched for the purpose of picking a quarrel with the SULTAN. Wo do not doubt that our correspondent is in fluenced by a sincere desire to improve the con dition of the Moldo-Wallachians. We aro actuated by a similar wish. But it will not do to commit ourselves hastily, on inadequate grounds. As at present advised, we believe the views advocated by Lords PALMERSTON and CLARENDON to be perfectly correct. Should we see reason to alter our opinion, or to think that the welfare, prosperity, and the happiness of the people—that "justice to the oppressed" could be best promoted by a different course—we shall not hesitate to confess our mistake, and to use every effort consistent with the faithful observance of the engagements into which we have entered to advance that object, and to render the greatest good to the greatest number. It is impossible to commend too strongly to such of our readers as may not possess it, Mr. J. Wimp's large map of India (34 inches by 27); it gives not only all the information which may be expected from an excellent map, but by a combi nation of ingenuity and artistic skill, it presents to the "faithful eyes" such a❑ amount of politi cal, military, civil, and statistical information, as must be sought for otherwise in many volumes ; and, all available at a moment's notice. We, of " the Fourth &tate," who have frequently so little time either to investigate or to refresh our memories, while our readers expect from us im impromptu information and opinions, must ac knowledge gratefully our very frequent indebted ness to the "QUEEN'S Geographer." Our readers, however, of every class, if they would comprehend what is now going on in India, cannot possibly do it without a good map of the country ; and Mr. WYLD'S is unquestionably facile princeps amongst all competitors. It is not too expensive for any Reading-room, News-room, or Counting-house ; or for the private house of every newspaper reader; and, as almost every one is now interested in India, and as every Euglisbman ought to be very differently acquainted with it to what we all have been, we sincerely hope that the educated public generally will show Mr. WYLD that they are not insensible to his spirited efforts to serve them. The gain will be their own. To be specific—for general commendation may he undervalued—the map is both a perfect study, and a chart reference for the wants of the moment. Yal want to know in what political relation a particular district stands to the British Govern ment ; you see by excellent colouring whether it is independent, subsidiary, protected, or directly, governed by us. Do you ask what is the ex tent and population of any part ? A table gives you easy and instant information of the 'limber ef :square miles and inhabitants belonging to each . You read of three Presidencies, of their respective armies, and of this or that military station ; the Iname of the last being frequently one you never before heard of—for war, be it observed, is like a railroad, a wonderful teacher of geography. Well, you look down a list of the military sta tions in each Presidency, and find not only the name and its distance from Calcutta, Madras, or Bombay, as the case may be, but cc number by which you are directed to one of the lightly traced squares on the map, in which, of course, you find Nor is that all ; if you find a military sta tion on the map before you consult the table, you know, by a coloured line beneath, whether it bc longs to the Bengal, the Madras, or the Bombay army. The same facilities are furnished in regard to all the civil stations and collectorates. Per haps you are at a loss to form a fair conjecture of the diagonal di=stance between different parts of the country. To meet this frequent difficulty, hesides the conception which latitude and longi tude and the usaal scales may give, when you have time to use them, an otherwise vacant cor ner of the map relieves your difficulty in almost every case. A simply arranged table shows at once the distance between any two of the principal places in India. The railroads, completed and sanctioned, are of course indicated ; indeed, nothing is omitted which is required by the reader of the newspaper, or of works on India such as the Duke of WEL LINGTON'S despatches. Only to sit down and study the map itself for a spire hour will give most persons a clearer view of India than they ever had before. And, as if nothing should be wanting to furnish a purchaser with the greatest amount of information permitted by the space, a small map of the world, on MERCATOR'S projeeion, fills up the south-east corner, vacant otherwise by the peculiar confi4uration of India, and shows at a glance the whole of the British empire, from its vast domains in North America to its huge continental island of Australia. Mr. WYLD deserves once more the highest credit for having furnished, at the moment needed, what every one wants. We are pleased, therefore, t perceive th a t a secon d an d a t hi r d e diti on h ave already bee n called for, and cannot doubt that his energy and enterprise will be amply reward e d by the publi c . We think it right, on our part at least, to encourage every well-conceived attempt, not only to interest in Indian matters, but to (W- I f u se more accurate knowledge of them. Last Friday we published the report of the E o yal Commissioners appointed to detorrainreptobr: site of the new Na tional G4ller y , and to e on the desirableness of combining with it the Fine Art and krcbx )10gical Collection of the British Museum. it is au able and well-cowi dered document, and should effectually prevent the contemplated job of removing the people's property to a place where it would be practical y inaccessible to the great body of the people. The anxiety that was felt for that removal in certain quarters was but too painfully notorious, and reasonable apprehensions were entertained that the Commissioners would not have the moral firmness to resist the influences that might be bought t) bear on them. We rejoice, however, to say that they have faithfully and honourably discharged the important duty confided to their hands, and returned an honest and impartial ver dict between the Prince and the People. Originally composed of six Members, one was ab initio prevented from acting by ill-health. Of the remaining five, one declined to vote, and the decision ultimately arrived at was carried by a ma jority of three votes to one, and that decision was " in favour of the site of the present National Gallery." It is in accordance with the views and feelings of the overwhelming majority of the na tion, who are fully convinced that in every aspect of the case, the present situation offers advan tages far greater than any other that could be suggested. The collection has been created for the use of the many, to improve the taste for art, to elevate and refine the minds of those who have not valuable private collections within their reach. The aristocratical section are by no means ex cluded. They are also admissible, whenever they think proper to attend. But unfortunately that is not sufficient. They want it to themselves and for themselves, and as they cannot now exclude the million, the only way of attaining the ob ject is by removing it to some less accessible loca lity, where artizans and operatives might be de terred from coming between the wind and their nobility. Now Trafalgar-square could be approached at a cheap rate from every metropolitan and suburban district—conveyance by omnibus could be ob tained at a single fare to Charing Cross from any quarter. It is the grand centre to which all the radii tend, and from which an easy return can be obtained. We need not say how greatly an additional fare back and forward for each per son may affect the prospects of a working man's visit with his family to the Art Collection. To a comparatively wealthy person, a few shillings more or less are of trivial importance. But it is very different with the man who earns his daily bread by his daily labour, and who has to look narrowly to the ways and means before he de votes a single shilling to purposes either of amuse ment or instruction. To such a person, the re moval of the art collection to Kensington Gore would more than quadruple the difficulties and impediments to a visit. It would therefore di minish the attendance in a still greater ratio, and that was the chief olject of the parties clamouring for the change, while it rendered it peculiarly distasteful to every advocate for the improvement and enlightenment of the less wealthy classes. The choice was practically limited to two sites, that of the 'present National Gallery sufficiently enlarged, and the Kensington Gore Estate, which had been purchased with the surplus profits of the Great Exhibition of 1851, without the consent of the Parliament or People of Great Britain being either obtained or even asked for. It was an unexpected movement towards that which had already become a foregone conclusion in the minds of its concoctors, and which it was thought the unwarranted and unwarrantable application of some 150,0001. of what might justly be desig nated as public money, would sooner or later en sure. In this, however, they " reckoned without their host," for the popular mind was firmly and irrevocably opposed to the Germau job. The spurious pretext, so earnestly urged for the change, was that the smoke and atmosphere of London, and the extra dirtiness, and neces sary cleaning of the pictures, occasioned an amount of wear and tear that would occur only in a smaller degree in clearer and more airy situa tions. On this point—the only one, indeed, in any way worthy of notice—the commissioners can didly declare that— " So far as space for a building of great magni tue.e with capacity for future enlargement is con cerned, this site is, in our opinion, undoubtedly, to be preferred, and we cannot but conclude that Vie a r must be on the whole less impure there than at Charing-crosA. Whether it will continue to be SO when the neighbouring land to the south-welt and west shall be covered wi h buildings and be come part of the metropolis may by some be douto ed. We ought not al - oee'her to overlook the fact, although it reed not govern our decision, that the choice of this site would occasion a saving to the amount of whatever outlay might be requisite for the purchase of laud elsewhere." This outlay would, however, not be altogether lost. The estate would be very valuable for building purposes. It has already become one of the most fashionable localities in the metropolis, and ground rents already are charged at an enormous rate. We believe that 841. per annum is charged for the site of each of tho Palatial residences now in course of construction in Prince Albeit's-road. Surely then the lani already pur chased maybe d sposed of, and the proc ee d s w o u ld go far t ) supply, if it did not exceed, the cost of the additional space required in the vicinity of the present National Gallery. "On the other hand," they emphatically state : " The site of the present National Gallery is incontestably more accessible —mote in the way of all classes, and, from long usage, more familiAr to them, than any position in the outskirts of the metropolis. The surpassing merits of this site in this respect are fully set forth in the unanimous report of the select committee of 1848, to which we have previously referred. And in regard to capacity for enlargement, which seems to be the chief mater of doubt, there can be no impediments now which were not known to the eminent prac tical sia•enoen who composed the committee and prepared the report of 1848." They also,' without alluding to the numerous dwelling-houses noff erecting in the vicinity of and completely surrounding the Kensington-Gore estate, say— "In regard to atmospheric impurities, it is, as has lie. n previously admitted, inferior to the site of Kensington-gore ; but additional care, the more general protection of the pictures by glass, which is strongly recommon led by some of our more com petent witnesses, architectural improvements in a new building, and recent legislation, which Las done much to purify the metropolitan,atmosphere aid may do more, would prob slily much improve its prevent condition. Considered architecturally the site of Trafalgar-square stands by common con sent without a rival ; an I the substituiion of a building worthy of the British people for the pre sent edifice would command universal admiration, ai.d do honour to the age." The architectural improvements of the metre polis cannot altogether be lost sight of. When the intentions respecting the contemplated pub ic offices are carried into practical execution, a suitable national gallery, ou " the finest site in Europe," will be an appropriate addition, a proper termination to the brilliant line from the Imperial Palace at Westminster to Trafalgar square. Sir CHARLES BARRY, an unexception able witness, declared his opinion— " That if the sire of St. Martin's Workhouse were purchased, an alteration were made in the form of the barrack-yard, and a portion of C istle-str• et stopped ; if the Royal Academy were located else where, the poi tic:o and other projections b yond the hue of the present front taken dowu, and con siderable additions were male to the present budd ing, a National Gallery could be obtained on the present site that would Le au ornament to the mettopoli s , and afft4 accommodation equal to the requirement.' of the country for the national piej Cures foi ages to come. I should add, the pro posed additions to the present building would have the effect of entirely concealing the front of it. I have gone very minutely into the sulject, ant have prepare" certain plans and diagrams to illustrate my propoiii ion, and I shall have great pleasure in submitting and explaiiiing them if it be the wish of the committee." (Answer 182.) Now all these matters can be easily and cheaply effected for far less than the value of the Kensing ton Gore Estate. The matter siaoul l, therefore, be regarded as decided, and we should consider it to be so, but for a sinister rumour that has pre vailed that the removal of the national collection to Kensi n gton Gore during the recesswas contemplated, and which at first received additional strength from the fencing and quibbling of Sir G. C. LEWIS, with the plain and straightforward interrogatory ex hibited by Mr. WisE. We cannot, however, be- lieve that the statesman who once enunciated that "England had no cousins," would join in a con spiracy to degrade the British Parliament, or to transfer its functions to other hands. When pressed on the point, Lord PALMERSTON said, " surely no pledge is necessary. No step can be taken to build a new National Gallery without the vote of the House !" This is clear and dis- tinct. He could not, and we firmly believe, would not listen to any persuasion leading to the viola tion of the implied. promise. Should he do so, Parliament can vindicate it 3 own honour, and its own independence, but we are convinced there are no grounds for the apprehensions that, looking to the unauthorised purchase of the Kensington Gore Estate, might otherwise reasonably be enter tained respecting the alleged project. This opinion has been confirmed by the answer yesterday given by Sir G. C. LEWIS to the perti nacious and indefatigable Mr. CONINGHAM. The Right Hon. Baronet declared that the Govern ment "had come to no decision upon tha subject —that it was not their inteution, at present, to sanction any removal of pictures in the National Gallery, or in Marlborough House to Kensington Gore." Adding what, after all, affords the best security, " that there was no building at present, to which they could be removed, even if such was the intention of the Government." This, although not conveyed in a very graceful manner, is what we require. Weonly demand that no change should be made without Parliament having been fully consulted, and its calm S and deliberate opinion being first duly had and obtained. On Wednesday Mr. CONINGLIAIL also pointed out the strong objections to the establishment of the new portrait gallery in an independent build ing in Great George-street, Westminster, in phc3 of making it a part of the National Gallery in Trafalgar-square. This is a job that should be closely watched ; these separate collections being all matters tending towards a removal to Kensing ton Gore. The present vote was, however, only for 2,0001., and that cannot greatly influence the ultimate decision one way or the other, but even that vote was postponed ! All these things must, however, be closely watched, and the nation is for tunate in having so vigilant a guardian as Mr. Comwroirem. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRA.PII,) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur announces that on the 14th inst., at two, p.m., the Emperor in person will inaugu rate the new buildings of tin Palace of the Louvre, begun in 1852 and finished in 1857. The Empress will be present at this ceremony. MARSEILLES, Ara-. 6. The notes of the four Powers directed against Prince Vogorides, were identical, though presented separately. Two hundred houses hare been destroyed by fire at Galata. The establishment of the &ears Fran- caises was saved. The tribes of the MutuAlis had pillaged the Christians in the town of Sour. M. de Lesseps, the French Consul at Beyrout, ha I gone to the spot to demand a public repression of the outrage. Prince Vogorides bad proceeded to replace the Metropolitan of Moldavia, because he had refused to preside over the Divan,. The Kcenigsberg Gazette publishesa dispatch from St. Petersburg stating that a serious affiir had taken place at Isala,'avia in the Caucasus between the Russian troops an l the main body of the forces of Schamyl, in which the latter were defeated, with the loss of 400 killed. The Russians had eight men killed and 47 wounded. • tions from. the arbitrary tone which prevails in them. She would thus elin the sympathies and esteem of other nations, and might serve the cause of universal progress and of liberty—% cause which she now betrays through the national policy, to which she sacrifices liar generous tendencies and her eral ideas." The value of the above amiable sentiments is somewhat reduced by the concluding passage of the article in question : " Should the s.kuqgle between England and the Hindoo population not be destine 1 to an early issue, and should the Government have a correct idea the state of matters, all that is lost by Eng land ought to he gained by France as the repre sentative of civilisation, the triumph of which it is her mission to achieve." Tee 1)1lowina ti sue of absurdities appears in an article of the Fresse on India : -" For Vie present we do not think that England will request our assistance in India. But if in exorable necessity, which weighs dokn the loftiest, should compel her to do so, ought France to re spond to that appeal ? We do not hesitate to reply in the affirm-dive, because a solemn oppor tunity would be offered of restoring justice to all. France, in saving the British empire in India, would have the right of stipulating for terms equ (1 to the services render( d. Her intervention should prove profitable to the Hind( • population no less than to England. Humanity and civilisa tion should be always and everywhere the first allies of France. With respect to her personal re muneration, it is traced out in the treaties of 1815 and in the history of her colonial empire, which was ruined and destroyed by the former. These rapacious treaties should be modified in their turn, and Franc e re pl ace d i n p ossess i on o f th e establish ments she had founded in India previously to the arrival of the English. India is an inheritance of France as well as of England, and it is vast enough for both." • The Pays says :—" A telegraphic despatch has been published by the Times, announcing that the Frenchainbassadorat Constantinoplehad threatened to leave the capital, if the Ministry was not modi fied. Authentic information allows us to contra dict this news of the English paper. France has never raised in Turkey questions of persons she has never influenced the choice of the Sovereign ; but has always confined herself to demanding that the treaty - of Paris should. be executed in good. faith. When proofs were given that it was de parted from in the question of Moldavia, she merely demanded, in conformity with European right, that its provisions should be strictly observed.

The trial of the Italians and others on the charge of conspiring against the life of the Emperor of the French opened yesterday at the Assize Court of Paris. Four of the accused being out of the French territory, are proceeded against by default, and, in Case of continued absence, will be judged by the Court without the jury. The Judges took their seats at 10 o'clock, and, on demand of the Procureu: - General, a 13th juror was named, in order to take the place, if necessary, of one of the 12. Notwith standing the interest attached to the proceedings, the Court but slowly filled with spectators. The heat of the weather probably had something to do with the matter. The witnesses in the case are 11 in number, six for the prosecution and five for the defence. The pieces de conviction were displayed on a table before the judges. They consisted of a leather valise seized at the lodgings of Tibaldi, one of the prisoners, five poniards in red leather sheathe, 14 pocket pistols with double barrels, a horse pistol (double barrel), a formidable looking revolver, two bullet moulds, and two boxes of per cussion caps. The pistols were loaded. At a quarter past 3 the prisoners were brought into court— namely, Paolo Tibaldi, Grilli alias Faro, and Bartolotti. Tibaldi appears to be about 30 years of age. He had a blouse over his clothes, and wore moustaches. So much as could be seen of his dress was black. Grilli looked about two or three years younger ; he wore thick moustaches, and was dr,ssed like a working mechanic. Bartolotti has marked Italian features. He wore moustaches and a thick beard, and was also dress , d in black. The two last-named speak with difficulty a few words of French ; their bearing seemed rather confident than otherwise. Bartolotti was more subdued, and his replies to the questions put to him were given in a low and weak voice. The examination was con ducted through an interpreter. After the usual formalities, the acte d'accnsation, or indictment, together with various letters appended as docu mentary evidence, was read by the clerk of the court. The concluding passage was to this effect : "Wherefore, Paolo Tibaldi, Giuseppe Bartolotti, Grilli alias Faro, Giuseppe Mazzini, Alexandre Auguite Ledru-Rollin, Gaetano Masiarente, and Frederico Campanella, the last four not appearing, are charged with having, in 1857, in virtue of a resolution concerted and decided between them, formed a plot having for object an attempt on the life of tho Emperor, the said plot having been fol lowed by an act committed or commenced with a view to prepare its execution, a crime provided for by the 89th article of the Penal Code." The interrogatoire or examination of the accused and witnesses then commenced. Tibaldi was first examined. He denied all com plicity, but owned to his acquaintanceship with Grilli and Bartoletti. He denied ever having had any relations with Mazzini. Grill was next interrogated. He declared that Massarenti took him to see Mazzini at London ; that Ma,ssavnti asked him whether he was willing to as sassinate the Emperor ; he replied he would think the matter over. He finally agreed. Mazzini put the same question to him, and gave him instructions to watch the Emperor's movements. He was given 50 napoleons by Massarenti, who received the money from Mazzini. He further declared that at Paris he communicated his object to Tibaldi, who gave him two daggers. Grills also avowed that he met Bartolotti at Mazzini''. He denied the inten tion of a.aassin.ating the Emperor. He accepted the money, and made the promise to do so because he was starving. Bartolotti was next examined. He declared that Massarenti came to see him at York. He asked him to go with him to London to see Mazzini. He paid his journey. At Mazzini's he met a tall stout Frenchman, whose name he could not pronounce. Mazzini told him tbat the Emperor went out every evening in a low carriage. He met Grilli the next day at Mazzini's: It was agreed they should go to Paris together. He gave them Tibaldi's address in Pari4, with a mot d'ordre. Ile asked Massarenti for money. He said he had none, but that Rodron Rolline would procure some. Two days afterwards he received 50 napoleons in gold. Grilli also re ceived some money. Jean Baptiste Geraux, atailor, sentenced to four years' imprisonment for belonging to a secret society, declared (as a witness) that, at the end of 1853, at London, he, at the request of Ledru-Rollin, cc n veyed 500 f. to a certain Beaumont. The President then read the declarations of a certain Keltch, who came to Paris with the inten tent'on of assassinating the Emperor ; and a report from tke Prefect of Police to the effect that Keltch and Beaumont were one and the same person. The trial will be resumed to-morrow, when it is expected to be brought to a dose. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The Gazette de France, it is highly satisfactory to learn, does not entirely despair of the fortunes of England ; nay, it believes that even deprived of India, she would not fall into utter insignifiancy. We reproduce the following passage, in which our contemporary has concentrate! a variety of pecu liar views : " Were England reduced to ber possessions in Europe, she would still remain a great power ; she would discover in the wealth of her soil, in the industtial and commercial genius of her inhabi tants, in their enlightenment and wisdom, means of enforcing the respect of othor nations, as of at taining prosperity and wealth, and of command ing great influence in the countrivs of Chrit•tian • -lolls.

The Nord says :—Several foreigns journals have recently spoken of a descent which the Russians are said to have attempted on the southern bank of the Caspian Sea, forming part of the Russian ter titory. Accounts from St. Peterburg explain this fact and place the affair in its true light. The Per sian province of Astrabad is infested by hordes cf Turcomans, who do not confine themselves to pil lage, but carry off men and con damn them to slavery. Among others, a Russian courier fell into their hands. In consequence, 'he Russian commandant of the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and took po'session of the stronghold of these brigands, roughly chastised them, and delivered the prisoners, among whom were several Russian and Persian subjects." SARDINIA. The Independente of Turin, of the sth, says : "The house of M., Piazza, an ex-deputy, was searched on the preceding day. M. Piazza was taken to the Prefecture of Police, but reletsed a few hours afterwards. The offices of hi 4 partners in business were also searched, but nothing was found, except a pair of ornamental pistols, which had once belonged to Count Carlo Poiro? ho was assassinated some time ago at Malignano. Advo cates Guirati and Vare have also be-n arrested, and it is_balieved they will be'sent to Genoa." GERMANY. The Cabinet of t arlbrohe h,s just snbmit'ed to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin a project for the institution of a Fe:leral Court, to be ... charged. with all Federal queitons of litigation. No criestion to be referred to such Court until after having beet' communicated to thy Diet. The project has been favourably received at Vienna and by the Second ary States. General de Lamoriciere has just left Brussels on an excursion of six or sever. weeks in Switzerland and Germany. The Independence of Brussels, in its intelligence from Moldavia, states Ihat Prince Jean Ghikai one of the largest landowners in the country, was so much distuthed at the mmner in which the 'elec tions men lately conducted• thAt he lost his reason and expired in a few days. The Austrian, Gazette, in remarking on the In dian insurrection, says :—" Env]. •nd may be com pared to a man struck with apoplexy for the first time. The man recovers, but the confidence which he had in his health, previously to the attack, ever returns. The patient observes with anxiaiy the phenomena of his own organisation, and be comes more cautious and more piudent. But the free movement of the person who fears nothing, who has confidence in his own strength, and who does not think (f death, has depared for ever. England will become in future less firm but more equitable—Such is the moral of her misfortunes in India." The Courrier de Constantinople states ,that General Melikoff had lefc Teheran, and that, after having set out lom Tabriz, he fell from his horse and fractured the bond' of his right foot. THREE MEN DROWNED AT SPITHEAD.—A. very cala mitous accident occurred on Wednesday night at Spit head, which had its origin in an act of great folly. A party of Royal Marine Artillai y sergeants, six in num ter, with the canteen-keeper at their barracks, a Mr. Pearson, went out to Spitbead in a frail dingy for a sal Sergeant Wainford recklessly climbed to the top of the pole used as a mast, his weight everbalanced the host, and she capsised. Three of the party wers drowned, viz , Sergeants Wainford and Riey, and Mi. Peers Tho escape of the remainder was mireclaoue. Coe - i f them, Sergeant Uremer, remained 12 beers in the wan r, keeping himself afloat by the dexterous Lige of an oar, and was picked up this morning by a collier. He ha been sent to Hasler Hospital. The three other r geants managed to get the boat on its keel, but oars, sails, gear, and everything else was gone, and they hart to paddle with their hands some five•rnilee, across Spit • head to Langston harbour. After severe trials they ultimately reached Fort Cumberland at one o'clock yesterday morninr. MYSTERIOUS MURDER NEAR MULLINGAR.—The body of a man was found on Thursday, the 23rd ult., in Hyde Park bog, within six miles of Mulling-en It was buried about four feet under the surface of the - bier. It' wee quite naked, not a vestige of clothes, button., &c , being found in its vicinity, but around the upper part of the chest a twitted rod of hazel or willow was discovered under the arms, as if used for the purpose of dragging it along the surface from • a distance, previous to its being deposited where it was di-covere, , . The body was in a sate of perfect preservation, such as is usually the case with animal substances wide's are found in peat. It appeared to be that of a stroll? muscular man, and exhibited no perceptible marks of violence except that the head was severed from the neck just on aline with the root of the tongue. The sever ance appeared to have been effected with some sharp instrument, and the bone of the spine opposite the in cision in the fore part of the neck was completely cut through. ft appeared as if one or two incisions had been wade, which induced the medical gentleman pre sent, Dr. Williams, of Killucan, to think that the throat had been cut in the first instance, and that the head was afterwards removed, to prevent any identification of the body. It appeared to have been a very long time in the place where it was found, as the hog was as come so , about as in other situations. The skin was entire, ton h and resembled wet leather. The bones were so soft t h;.., they could be beat in any direction without breaking, or cut with ease with a knife. No traces of the heeit could be diF.covered, although the person who found th, body made diligent search for it. As no person has been missing from the locality, it is supposed that the unfortunate man, who, it is evident, met with a violent and ustirnely end, was a returned emigrant, who Iva , : cruelly murdered for the sake of his money. An inquest was held on the following day (Friday) by P. Connell , Esq., coroner, when the jury brough t in a verdict of ''Wilful murder against some person or persons un known."—Dublin Paper.

The head bore marks of violence, and one el the arms was broken above the elbow joint. VISIT OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. Yesterday morning, at a much ea , lier hour than wasg?neraliy anticipated by the public at large, the Emperor and Elepryss of the French a r r i ve d a t Os . . bum - e. The visits beyond all doubt a strictly pri v.ite one, and such precautions have been taken to insure its beiog kept so, that literally nothing what ever is known of the intended movements of the Imperial visitors, and but for the Rtyal saluting this morning very few would have known that they had come at all. Osborne presents unrivalled fact- Mies for such strict sesbi -ions, not the nominal seclusion of Emperors, bet the unrlisturhed quiet of a private family. The illustrious • individuals, whoever they may be, arrive and step out of their yachts almost at the door of Osborne Ii tusa, depart. ing in the same quiet and perfectly unrestricted manner. Such a chef d'wuvre 'of privacy was the visit of the Grand Duke Constantine that to this hotir a respectable minority believe he never came at all. The same opinion cannot obtain with re gard to the Emperor and Empress, though previeus precautions have been redoubled to keep all relat ing to their movements strictly secret. A most vigilant surveillance is kept up in the neighbour. hood of Osborne, arid, indeed, a'l over the is'and, by a strong force of the ,police specially brought down from London for the purpte-e, assisted in their labours by some members of the French police. Boats have been appointed to keep guard off the beach at Osborne, and to allow no shore or strange boat under any pretence whatever to approach it; so that, in the present instance, the Imperial visitors may congratulate themselves i n having, indeed, effected a really private visit to the Queen on the ordinary cordial terms on which one family of rank may enterain another. This intention will be most rigi Ily carried into effect throughout the brief period during which the illustrious guests are expected to remain. To supply the unusual number of boats required to row guard some of the launches and pinnaces of the men of war in harbour were taken; and Master Commander G. All , n's vessel the Sprightly, christened on the old tams a non lucendo principle, one of the dullest and ugliest tubs in port, was _ yesterday promoted to tow them to Spithead. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning all over the house front, .rich terrace gardens and sloping woods of Osborne not a soul was visible. Soon afterwards, howeVer, the signal tower was occupied. and a telescope kept continually pointed towards the fleet at Spithead, whrch was again in communication with the Alban steamer, pos el far out to sea. By and by a pony carriage came down to the landing place, followed at long intervals by another and another, with grooms, led horses, and outriders, till the Royal cortege in attendance was complete. At 7 o'clock the Refine Hortense was signalled as in sight, yet it made but slow progress, for it was a quarter past 8 o'clock before she had arrived within saluting di-tance of the squadron. The Queen's yacht has often gone over the same course in one quarter of the time. The fleet and town batteries saluted and the vessels manned yards at a quarter past 8 o'clock. The wind, though very light, was in a contrary direction and not a sound or echo of the tremen dous reverberation which the guns must have created reactrel Osb trne. The broad angry darts of flames from the huge vessels' sides could, of course, be distinctly seen, and so also the massive fo•d.s of smoke, which seemed gradually to rise like mountains from the sea till the whale pile of masts and spars was hidden. But there was no echo, however faint, and the whole evolution might have been a vivid painting or dissolving view for any thing which sound could tellto the contrary. A few, minutes bef •re the salute was fired his Royal Highness the Prince Cons rt, in plain walk ing dress, accomp an i e d by P r ince Alfred, in the Highland costume, came down to the landing-place. Alter a short time er Majesty, accom- -anied by the Royal Prirspesses, also drew down and joined his Highness on the b-acb. Here the Royal party waited for some time, for the progress of the Reine Hor ense was unusually slow. She is a screw, low in the water, but without any of the slim appearance which moat even of our trading screws present. Crowds were assembled on Ry de Pierto see her pass, and a whole fleet of yachts and pleasure boats—nearly a hundred in number— spread their white sails, aad seemed as if about to follow her like a crowd of butterflies skimming and dancing over the glistening waters; but none re illy made the attempt, for the Admiralty orders had been published, and were strictly adhered to, and not any but the vessels of war on duty were allowed to approach within nearly two miles of the landing place at Osborne. As the Reine Hortense dropped slowly down at half-speed the Imperial visitors could be distinctly seen standing on the quarter deck, which was decorated with exquisite taste, and covered with small conical parterres of clustering 1 flowers, so as to make it res e mbl e a sma ll summer garden rather than the deck of a steamer. The Empress was attired in the plainest description of travelling dress, and leant upon the arm of lilis Majesty, who also wore a simple walking costume without order or decora ion of any kind. Standing with teeir Majesties were the Count and Countess Walesyski, the Princess Essling, and General the Baron Roland, Chief of the Staff. When the yacht had approached within about a mile of Oab erne, Prince Albert and Pr ince Alfred entered the. Royal barge. The men-of-war boats formed in double lines on each side of it, and the Fairy and E fin Royal yachts steamed close outside all. This little water priicession was headed by the Royal barge, in: the stein of which was a large silk banner, emblazoned with the arms of Her Majesty and the Prince Consort. Her Royal Highness immediately went on board the Reine Hortense, and warmly welcomed the Imperial gu, sts. After a delay of a few moments the Prince Consort conduct:.d the Empress down into the Royal barge, in which the Emperor also took his seat, followed by the four members of his sitite we have mentioned. The Reyes' barge, loth in going and returnins from the yacht, was steered by Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, the Com modore of the Victoria and Albert, and in a few minutes was at the landing-place at Osborne. The Emperor was the first to disembark, and the most cordial greetings apparently passed between him and her Majesty, and also between her Majesty and the Empress. Tho latter gave a most affec tionate reception to the Princess Royal. Almost immediately after laud ng the Empress and her Majesty and tr e Emperor and Prince Albert en tered their pony carriage and drove at once to the house. Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman entertained all the officers of the Reine Hortense and the two French war steamers which escorted her (La Corse and Pelican) at a m iguificent banquet the same evening. In order to set at rest the numerous rumours whi• h are at present current as to its being the in tention of the Imperial visitors to visit the Man chester Exhibition, we can state most positively that nothing whatever in relation to the intended movements of the Court has been allowed to trans pire as yet, beyond the mere fact that, except for short excursions in the Royal yachts, neither the Ethiperor or E. press are likely to quit the island. It is considered by those who have the best oppor tunities of obtaining correct information on these matters, that it is just probable the Empe or may pay a private visit to the dockyard, and also to the James Baines, on Saturday morning, before her sailing with the troops for India. Beyond this and the fact that there is to be an early soirée dansante at Osborne-house on Saturday, nothing is known. There seems little doubt that the visit will termi nate on Monday next. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The immense success achieved by T. P. Cook as S9illiim in "Black-eyed Susan" at the Adelphi Theatre, on the occasion of the recent Jerrold Commemora' ion," after an absence of many years from the s age, and the sustaining power exhibited by the sexagenarian, induce 'l Mr. Buckstoue to make him an offer for a series of perfutmances in the same drama. Mr. T. P. Cooke made hie first appearance for many years on the public sago, except the one alluded to above, on Monday night last, and was received with the most deafening cheers. The performance showed all the old leaven of the good old school, and indicated much of the i n t en sity and elasticity of the old times. The hornpipe, iPte' which Mr. Cooke danced w ith Miss was really surprising, and the last scene was a masterpiece uf pathos and pantomimic ex pression. Miss M. Oliver, except that she has not black eyes, mad , - a most charming Susan, and Mr. Buck sione exhibited a fine example of genuine comedy in Gnatbrain. Mr. T. P. Cooke's engagement, we believe, ex tends to a fortnight, and rho e who have not seen ids William should immediately avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing one of the most remarkable melodramatic performances of modern time. TEE RATING OF ST.
