Truth will always be advanced by full and fair discussion, and that it is our desire to obtain, although the views promulgated may happen to be opposed to those which, on calm and attentive consideration, we may ourselves have taken on the subject. Oar 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 subject we have " nailed our colours to the mast," and shall never haul them down until there is "justice t) the oppressed" of all nations, tribes, and languages throughout the civilised world. We must, however, question the fact whether the union of the Danubian Principalities under a 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 Russia, France, and Prussia, to hesitate before yielding unconditional credence to the new-fiadged zeal of the Emperor NAPOLEON on behalf of the freedom and purity of election. " T im e° Danaos et dona ferentes," exclaimed the Trojan p riest, and his salutary caution, if duly acted on, might ave delayed the doom of Mara. We cannot, !therefore, with the experience of the recent Flaw, elections before us, at one unequivocally accept the protestations against al leged abuses in Wallachia and Moldavia. Nor can we participate in playing th e Russian game , because it is asserted—although atheat a par ticle of proof—that " the whole hope of the fi ve millions of inhabitants is in being united under a foreign Prince, as their only guarantee o f the future." It may not be merely " a French id ea, " although it has been acted on and energetically pursued by the French Ambassalor, at Constan 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 lame, and most impotent conclusion, and Russia per mitted to _escape with impunity from the conse quences of her unwa rran t a bl e aggress i on on the s ecurity and indepe n d ence o f T ur k ey, an d h er List Friday we published the rep or t o f the palpable attempts to divide th e a s sets o f th e Royal Commissioners appointed to d e t ermine the " Sick Man." s it e of the new National Gallery, an d to rep ort Weenteredinto thelatewar astheprotectors, and on the desirableness of combining with it the defenders a the Sublime Porte.

Only to sit down and study the map itself for a spare 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 projection, fills up the south-east corner, vacant otherwise by the peculiar configuration 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, tJ perc e i ve t h at a second and a third edition have al ready been ca ll e d f or, an d cannot d ou b t that his energy and en t erpr i se w ill b e amp l y rewar d e d by the p u b l i c.

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 brought to 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 ini•tio 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 artisans 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 i 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 object 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 bad 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 German job. She proceeds to the Victoria Dock to discharge her cargo, and then goes on to Bremen. She left New York on the 22d, and her dates have consequently been anticipated. tures for 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, an I have prrpared certain plans and diagrams to illustrate my propod!ion, and I shall have great pleasure in submitting and explaibing 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 shoull, therefore, be regarded as decided, and we should consider it to be so, but for a sinister rumour that has pre vailed that the removalof the national collection to Ken sin gtonGore du ring th e recess was 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 l" 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 its 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 intention, 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. We only demand that no change should be made without Parliament having been fully consulted, and its calm and deliberate opinion being first duly had and obtained. On Wednesday Mr. CONINOHAM 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 place 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. CONIIIKOHAX. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The European and American Company's steam ship Queen of the Soutb, Captain Beal, has arrived from New York, with 182 passengers and a lull cargo. The spurious pretext, so earnestly urged for the change, was that the smoke and atmosphere of Lyndon, 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— Information has been received in official quarters from Constantinople, to the effect that the new Minis try have decided that the elections held in Moldavia on the 19th ult, should be annulled, with a view to their being held again on the 15th inst.

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 the Palatial residences now in course of construction in Prince Albert's-road.

The Moniteur announces that on the 14th inst., at two, p.m., the Emperor in person will inaugu rate the new buildings of the Palace of the Louvre, begun in 1852 and finished in 1857. The Empress will be present at this ceremony. MARSEILLES, AUG. 6. The notes of the four Powers directed against Prince Vogorides, were identical, though presented separately. Two hundred houses have been destroyed by fire at Galata. The establishment of the &ears Fran- caises was saved. The tribes of the Mutualis hid pillaged the Christians in the town of Sour. M. de Lesseps, the French Consul at Beyrout, had gone to the spot to demand a public repression of the outrage. Prince Vogorides had 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 affair bad taken place at Isala'avia in the Caucasus between the Russian troops awl 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. TRIAL OF THE FRENCH CON- SPIRATO RS. 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 Procureur- 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 numbs'?" 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 sheaths, 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 ago. 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 dressed in black. The two last-named speak with difficulty a few words of French ; their bearing seemed rather confident than othervviee. 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'accusation, 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 Augute Ledru-Rollin ' Gaetano Masia ren t e , an d Frederico Campanella, the last four not appearing, are charged with having, in 1857, in vi r t ue o f a resolution concerted and decided between them, formed a plot having for object an attempt on the life of the Emperor, the said plot having been fol lowed by an act committed or com:nenced 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. Grilli was next interrogated. He declared that Massarenti took him to see Mazzini at London ; that Massarenti asked bim 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 be communicated his object to Tibaldi, who gave him two daggers. Grilli also avowed that he met Bartolotti at Mazzini's. He denied the inten tion of assassinating the Emperor. Ile accepted the money, and made the promise to do so because he was starving. Bartolotti was next examine. 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 be met a tall stout Frenchman, whose name he could not pronounce. Mazzini told him that 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 Peri., with a mot d'ordre. He 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, con 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 the Prefect of Police to the effect that Keltch and Beaumont were one and the same person. v, The trial will be resumed to-morrow, when it is expected to be brought to a close. rtiE LO DON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1857 strip her of some of her fairest provinces, and to er< et on the ruins a government that, as the tool of Russia, would be a perpetual thorn rankling in her side. We do not want ether a King Log or a King Stork—one that will be a mere puppet in the hands of the AUTOCRAT, or a satrap recciving 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 eomparative independence. Wo 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 MENSCHIKOPP himself when despatched for the purpose of picking a quarrel with the SULTAN. We do not doubt that our correspondent is in fluenced by a sincere desire to improve the con dition of the Moldo-Wallachians. We are 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. WYLD'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 an 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 "QuEmai'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 i in India, and as every Englishman 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 be undervalued—the map is both a perfect study, and a chart reference for the wants of the moment. Yau 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 t3nt and population of any part ? A table gives you easy and instant information of the number of square miles and inhabitants belonging to each. You read of three Presidencies, of their respective armies, and of this or that military station ; the name 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 cf the military sta tions in each Presidency, and find not only the name and its distance from Calcutta, Al tdra3, or Bombay, as the case may be, bet a number by which you are directed to one of the lightly traced squares on the map, in which, of course, you find if. 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 be 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 distance between different parts of the country. To meet this frequent difficulty, besides the conception which latitude and longi tude and the usual 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. 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, sbe would not fall into utter insignifiancy. We reproduce the following passage, in which our contemporary has concentrated a variety of pecu liar views : ~ " Were England reduced to her pos3essions in Europe, she would still remain a great power ; she would discover in the wealth of her soil, in the industrial and commercial genius of her inhabi tants, in their enlightenment and wisdom, means oC enforcing the respect of other nations, as of at taining prosperity and wealth, and of command ing great influence in the countries of Christian councils. In our opinion it would be rather au advantage than an evil for England to escape from the violent policy which results from her artificial development.. Once returned to her normal condi tion, Ehe would enjoy a calm which would permit her to relieve her politica,' and religious install tions from the arbitrary tun e w hi c h preva il s i n them. She would thus eon the sympathies and esteem of other nations, and might serve the cane of universal progress and ofliberty--i cause which she now bArays through the national policy, to which she sacrifices her generous tendencies and her lil eral ideas." The value of the above amiable sentiments is somewhat reduced by the concluding passage of the article in question " Siiould the s'ruggle between England and the Hindoo population not be destine 1 to an early issue, and ehould !he Governm9ut have a correct idea of the state of matters, all that is lost by Rig land ought to he gained by France as the repre sentative ('f civilisation, the triumph of which it is her mission to achieve." Toe following ti-sue of absurdities appears in an article of the Presse on India : "For the present we do n it think that England will request our assistance in India. But if in exorable necessity, which weighs down the loftiest, should compel her to do so, ought Franco to re spond to that appeal ? We do not hesitate to reply in the affirm-itive, 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 equd to the services render( d. Her Intervention should prove profitable to the Hind,* popuLition 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 modifie I in their turn, and France replaced in possession of the 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 French awba'sadorat Constantinople had threatens d to leave the capital, if the Ministry was n-t modi fied. Authentic information allows us to corvra diet this news of the. English paper. France haA never raised in Turkey questions of persons she has neverinfluenced the choice of the Sovereign ; but has always confined hfr, , elf to demanding that the tre ity of Paris sh , uld be executei in good faith. When proofs were given that it was de part-d from in the question of M ,, blavia, she merely demanded, in conformity with European right, that its provisions should be strictly observed.

Yesterday mot ning, at a much ea'lier hour than was generally an by the public at larl e, the Emperor and Feupre.ss of the French arrived at Os-' borne. The visit is beyond all doubt a strictly pri vate one, and such pr,-cautions have been taken to insure its being kept so, that literally nothing what ever is known of the intended movements of the Imperial visitors, and but for the • Reyel saluting this morning very few would have known that they had come at all. Osborne presents unrivalled face. 'Wes for such strict iteclu-ions, not the nominal seclusion of Emperors, but the untlistur ed quiet of a private family. The illustrious individuals, whoever they may be, arrive and step out of their yachts aimed:, at the door of O.borue house, depart ing in the same quiet an.' perf-ctly unrestricted manner. Such a chef d'oeuvre ef privacy was the visit of the Grand Duke Constantine that 'to this hour a respectable minority believe he never came at all. The same opinion cannot obtain with re gard to the Emperor and Empress, though previ'us precantfmns have 13- en redoubled to ket-p all relat ing to their movem nts strictly secret. A most vigilant surveillance • is kept up in the neighbour hood of Osborne, and, indeed, a'l over the island, by a strong force of the Raiff) specially brought down from London for the purpose, assisted in their labours by some members of till French police. B mats have been appoitit-d to keep guard off the beach at Osborne, and to allow 'no shore or strange boat under any pret?nce whatever to approach it; so that, in the present instance, the Imperial visitors may congratulate themselves in having, indeed, effected a really private visit to the Queen on the ordinary cordial t-rms on which one family of rank may entertain another. This intention will be most rigilly carried into effect , hroughout 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 pinnacas of the men of war in harbour were taken, and Master Commander G. All. n's vessel the Sprightly, christened on the old/ice/Ls a tzonlucendo principle/ one of the dulleA 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 garde ns , and sloping woods of Osborne not a soul w as visible. Soon afterwardß, however, the si4nal tower was occupied, and a telescope kept eoetinually pointed towards the fleet at Spithead, which was again in c .mmunication. with the Alban steamer, pos e I far out t i 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 sit , ht, yet it made but slow progress, for it was a quarter past 8 o'clock before she had arrived within saluting dietance of the squadron. The Queen's yacht has often gone over the same course in one quarter of the time. - The fle t and — town bat'eries 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 reac'iel Osb erne. The broad angry darts of flames from the huge vessels' sides could, of course, be distinctly seen, and so also the massive fo'ds of smoke, which seemed gradually to rise like mountains from the sea till the while 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 r', in plain walk ing dress, accoinpsnied by Prince Alfred, in the Highland costume, came down to the landing-place. Alter a short time liter Majesty, aocom, auied by the Royal Princesses, also drove down and joined his Highness on the beach. Here the Royal_ party waited for some time, for the progress of the Reine Hor euse was unusually slow. She is a screw, low in the water, but without any of the slim appearance which most even of our trading screws present. Crowds wore 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, a id seemed as if about to follow her like a crowd of butterflies skimming and dancing over the glistening waters; but none re .11y made t.ite attempt, for the Admiialty 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 wiles (if 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 flowers, so as to make it resemble a small summer garden rather thin the deck of a st-amer. The Emprem was attired in the plainest description of tray ening dress, and leant upon the arm of Ste Majesty, who also wore a simple walking costume without order or decora ion of any kind. Staudiug with teeir Majesties were the Count and Countess Walow,ki, the Princess Esslin„,ot and General the Baron Roland, Chief of the Staff. When the yacht had approached within about a mile of Osb.)rne, Prince Albert and P; nice Alfred entered the Royal barge. The men-of-war boats formed in double lines on each ado of it, and the Fairy and E fin. Royal yachts steamed close outside all. This little water processiou was herded by the Royal barge, in the stern of which was a large silk banner, emblazoned with the arms of Zer Majesty and the Pram:: Consort. Her Royal Highness immediately went on board the Reins Hortense and warmly welcomed the Imperial gusts. Afcr a del iy of a few moments the Pt - m. , e Consort conduct d ihe Empress down into , he Royal bsrg-, in which the Emperor also took his sent, followed by the fur members of his suite we hayJ m- ntioned. The R..yal barge, both in going and returning from the yacht, was steerel by Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, the Cum mod.cxe of the Yctoria, and Alb,rt, and in a feW minutes was at the landing-place at 0-b.me. The Emperor was the first to cLsembark, and the most cordial greetings apparently passed betwi en him and her - Majesty, and also between her Mjesty and the Empress. Tho latter gave a most affec _ • . tionate reception to the Princes; Royal. Almost immediately after lindlig the Empress and Ler Majesty and tt e Emperor and Prince Albert tered their pony carriage and drove at once to the house. Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman entertained all the oflio‘rs of the Remue Hon( n , te atid the two French war steamers which escorted her (La Giro and Pelican) ,o.r. a mlguificent banquet the same evening. in order to set at rest the numerous rumours whit-h are at present current as to its tieing th, in tention of the Imperial visitors to visit the Man . chester Exhibition a , we can state most positively that notbing whatever in relation to the intended movements of the Court his been allowed to trans- pire as yet beyond the mere fact that, except for short excursions in the Royal yachts, neither the Emperor or E: press are lik ty to quit the island. It is consideied by these who have the best oppor tunities of obtaining correct information on these matt.-rs, that it is just probable the Emperor 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 faet that there is be an early soiree dansante at Osborne-house on Saturday nothing is known. There seems little doubt thaf the visit will termi nate on Monday next. RUSSIA. The Nord says :—Several foreigns journals have reoently spoken of a descent which the Russians are said to have attempted on the southern batik 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 of Turcomans, who do not confine themselves to pil lage, but carry off men and condemn them to t ry. Among others, a Russian courier fell into their hands. In consequence, the Russian commandant of the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and took possession 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-d.tputy, was searched on - the preceding day. M. Piazza was taken to the Prerecture of Police, but released a few hours afterwards. The offices of his partners in business were also searched, but nothing was found, except a pair of ornamental pistols, which had once belonged to Count Carlo Poiro, who was assassinated some time ago at Malignano. Advo cates Guirati and Vare have also begin arrested, and it is believed they will be sent to Genoa." GERMANY. The Cabinet of (arb3rube his just submit`ed to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin a project for the institir ion of a Fe , ieral Court, to be charged with all Federal que4 , on4of litigation. No question to be referred to such Court untll after having been communicated to the 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 seven weeks in Switzerland and Germany. The Independence of Brussels, in its intelligence from Moldavia, states lint Prince Je an Ghika, o ne of the largest fandowners in the country, was so much disturbed at the manner in which the elec tions were lately conducted that he lost his reason and expired iu a few days. The Austrian Gazette, in remarking on the In dian insurrection, says :—" En:4l nd may be com pared to a man struck with apoplexy for the fir,t time. The man recovers, but the confidence which he had in his health, previously to the attack, f ever returns. The ratient observes with anxiety the phenomena of his own organisation, and be comes more cautious and more prudent. But the free movement of the person who fears nothing, who has conEclenee in his own strength, and who &e 1,. not think of death, has depar ed for eve r . England will become in future less firm but more equitable—Such is the moral of her misfortunes in India." The Courrier de Constantiriopia states that General Melikoff had left Teheran, and that, after having set out f+ on Tabriz, he fell from his horse and fractured the bones of his right foot. THREE MEN DROWNED AT SPITHEAD.— A very cala mitous accident occurred on Wednesday night at Spit head, wl(ieh had its origin in an act of great folly. A party of Royal Marine Artillaty sergeants, six in num etrr, with the canteen-keeper at their barracks, a Mr. Pearson, went out to Spithead in a frail dingy for a pal. Sergeant Wainford recklessly climbed to the top of the pole used as a mast, his weight (,verbalanced the, boat, and she capsised. Three cf the party wers drown?d, viz., Sergeants Wainford and Edey, and Mt. Pea The escape of the remainder was miraclurius. Ore ( f them, Sergeant Ursraer, remained 12 hours in the eat( r, keeping himself afloat by the dexterous use of an oar, and was picked up this morning by a collier. lie ha been sent to Molar Hospital.. The three other a s. geants managed to get the boat on its keel, but oars, sails, gear, and everything else was gone, and they bad to paddle with their hands some five miles, across Spit. bead to Langston harbour. After severe trials they ultimately reached Fort Cumberland at one o'clock yesterday morning. MYSTERIOUS MURDER NEAR MULLINGAR.—The body of a man was found on Thursday, the 23rd tilt., in Hyde Park bog, within six miles of Mullingar. It was buried about four feet under the surface of the bne. It was quite naked, not a vestige of clothes, button% &c., being found in its vicinity, but around the upper part of the chest a twisted rod of hazel or willow was discovered under the arms, as if used for the purpose of dragging it along the surface from a distarcP, previous to its being deposited where ft was di , coveree. The body was in a state of perfect preservation, such as is usually the case with animal substances which are found in peat. It appeared to be that of a strong muscular man, and exhibited no perceptible marks of violence except that the head was severed from the neck just on a line 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 hi the fore part of the neck was completely cut through. It appeared as if one or two incisions bad been made, which induced the medical gentleman pre sent, Dr. Wit Hams, 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 bog was as comt about as in other situations. The skin was entire, tou and resembled wet leather. The bones were so soft t t.t they could be beet in any direction without breaking, or cut with ease with a knife. No traces of the heed could be discovered, although the person who found the 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 untimely end, was a returned emigrant, who was 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 broug ht in a verdi ct of " Wilful murder against some person or persons un known. "—Dublin Paper. DARLINGTON AND BARNARD CASTLE RAILwaY.---The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Darlington—Mr. Witham in the chair. The proceed ings consisted merely of the declaration of a dividend of 5 per cent., payable on the 13th inst. Th e di rectors re ported that their agreement with the Stockton and Dar lington, for leasing the line for ever at 6 per cent., bad been completed. CRYSTAL PALACE, Thnrsday.—SHlLLlNG DAY.— Admissions on payment, 5676; ditto by season tickets, 07. Total, 6183. SAYMARKET THEATRE. The immense success achieved by T. P. Cook as in "Black-eyed Susan" at the Adelpht Theatre, on the ocoasion of the recent " Jerrold Commemoration," after an absence of many years from the s , age, and the sustaining power exhibited by the sexagenarian, induced Mr. Buck s t orie to make him an offer for a series of performances in the same drama. Mr. T. P. Cooke made his first/ appearance for many years on the public stage, except the one alluded to abov e , on M on d ay n i g ht last, and was received with the most deafening cheers. The per torteauce showed all the old leaven of the good old school, and indicated much of the intensity and elasticity of th e o ld t i mes. The hornpipe, which Mr. Cooke danced with Miss Wright, was really surprising, and the l a st scene was a masterpiece of pathos and pantomimic e%- pression.... Mils M. Oliver, excapt that she has not black eyes, mach-, a most charming Susan, and Mr. Buck' stone exhibited a fine example of genuine comedi in Gnatbrain. Mr. T. P. Cooke's engagement, we believe, e%- tends to a fortnight, 'and thole who have not seen his Wi►liam should immediately avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing, one of the moo remarkable melodramatic performances of modern time. THE RATING OF ST. PANCEAS.—Yesterday a meeting, of the vestiy of St. Pancras was held for the purpose making a poor and other rates. A rate of lid. in t he pound was made for the quarter ending Michaelul ae next, for lighting ; and a general rate of 24d., and * ra t of one halfpenny in the pound for the same period.
