What does it not indicate ? Hatred—Fear— Cupidity—Ambition —above all, an indomitable and an in.atiable native lust of Vengeance ? Every fiercest incentive to outrage and Rebellion. And a]l this—of course--resulting from our treat ment, from our own fatal, suicidal, all but insane system of mis-government. From this, ob viously ! From this, notoriously I The Pro verb says, " There never is Smoke without Fire." And so —as truly may it be declared, must it, by necessity, be declared that— Fire is always Kindled ! Even the Fire of Spon taneons Combustion And the Kindling of those Hot Ashen of Alienation—of those fierce Flames of Revolt—of those Eruptive Explosions of Re bellion—is entirely, manifestly, undeniably our own Kindling ! We have sapped and mined our own standing ground, we have laid the train and lit the match, and then applied it—and when the inevi table result follows we affect astonishment. Mr. MANGLES spoke truly on the 12th of June at Addiscombe—he spoke wisely, be spoke judiciously—when he recommended the young Cadets to treat their Sepoy comrades as comrades. He spoke no less truly, wisely, and judiciously, when he advised them, at the same time, to treat the native soldiery with kind ness and respect." Observing that, "it was by such means alone, that a few hundred officers could hold the command of many thousands of men:" and adding that, " These were the principles upon which India had been won by their prede cessors." A startling inference follows, naturally enough, from this last mentioned consideration. Shall we now, in our turn, hazard the less of In dia by a perverse, a wilful, and a wanton viola tion of those same wise and humane principles ? A horribly lurid light has just been thrown most unexpectedly upon the atrocities perpetrated by our Chinese antagonists. The atrocities we mean perpetrated by them on our own unfortu nate fellow-countrymen —murder, arson, stabbing, throat-cutting, poisoning, and every kind of whole sale and retail assassination:! The way in which this new and unlooked-for flood-of-light has been thrown upon the dark deeds of those Most Exem plary Foes may, in a very few words, be related. Commodore the Hon. C. J. ELLIOT captures, on the 4th of April—not three days earlier, observe! for the facts are really true and undeniable— captures, upon the 4th of April, some junks hard by the Sin-on coast off Hong-Kong. On board one of these junks there is found, among other prizes of more or less value, a correspondence. As a matter of course, this correspondence is in Chinese —but the perpendicular hieroglyphics of the MSS. have been duly "done into English" by a compe tent hand; under the observant eye doubtless of no less eminent a linguist than Sir J. BOWRLNG himself, our wonder-working Diplomatic Mezzofanti, who would be an invaluable acquisition, by the way, at any Congress of the Nations as an Interpreter. Well—to return to the correspondence, now com prehensibly rendered into our English vernacular —lo, and behold, here it is, formally printed in the form of a Supplementary Blue Book, as a portion of "Further Papers relating to the pro ceedings of Her MAJESTY'S Naval Forces, at Can ton." So that the seeming Roman9e is formally and officially authenticated into the merest and most ordinary matter of fact. But a very frightful matter of fact—another and a very grimly proof that Reality often exceeds Romance, that Truth is indeed " Strange, stranger than Fiction! " Any one may under stand this, in the present instance, in the course of a few moments, upon turning to that portion of the new Blue Book relating to the Chinese War, containing this curiously and opportunely dis covered Correspondence. It consists of a nnmber of characteristic communications, in the form of familiar letters addressed to one CHAN-RWEI TSIH, by h's younger brother Cnarr-TZE-TIN. The fraternal recipient of these letters being nct only a Graduate of the degree of Doctor, but Presidect or Chief of the Committee of Hostility in San-on. Obviously, therefore, a man of mark—" and a learned !" His correspondent, we are told, is a " graduate and the pupil of SII-TING-RWEI, a member of the Ran Lin College, one of the most important of the Canton gentry, and apparently the channel of communication between those brothers and the Governor-General YEH.” So that what the Cor respondence between these brothers relates to, occurred not in a hole-in-a-corner unknown to the Chinese authorities, but with their cognizance, with their connivance, with their undeniable and admitted encouragement. st, ThelCorrespondence we are here referring to proving incantestably the Fact that all these atrocities—murders, arsons, stabbings, throat-cuttings, poisonings, and every kind of wholesale and retail assassination—have been perpetrated with the perfect fore-knowledge, nay, what is more at the direct instigation of YEJI and his subordinates I Yet, these are the men with whom we were told we ought to sympathize these hirers of bravos and assassins These Civilised Barba rians who set blood money, at the rate of " thirty taels," upon every "devil's head" taken from the shoulders of Englishmen ! It is time, indeed, tjat these atrocities upon the coasts of China should be brought to a fitting and exemplary termination. It is time that these wretched Pagans should duly expiate their many inhuman and sanguinary deeds of violence.

TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 9_ 1857 HA YMARKET THEATRE. Last night Mr. Buckstone celebrated his benefit by the production of a work which is not only styled a "comedy" in the bills, but has more of the comedy elc went about it than any piece that has been presented to the public for some years. The author, Mr. Torn Taylor, has assembled together a number t f characters that belong especially to the present day, and, though his construc tion and ground plan prove a study of recent French models, his work is purely or;ginal, and the types he ex hibits are thoroughly English. The comedy is entitled " Victims," and the first vic tim who is brought forward is Mrs. Merryweather (Miss Reynolds), a lady of delicate susceptibilities, who largely patronizes literary and artistic " items," and laments tt at she is married to a plain city gentleman (Mr. Howe), • who only earns money for her expenditure, without sym pathizing with her high aspirations. She has, however, a harmless consoling friend in the person of Miss Crane (Mrs. Poynter), a strong-minded woman bent on the emancipation of her sex, and a dangerous consoling friend in the person of Mr. Herbert Fitzherbert (Hr. W. Far ren), a Byronic-looking gentleman, who has carted a considerable reputation as a poet, and bestows bouquets and sympathy on the fair sufferer. 0:le of the bouquets, sent to Mrs. Merryweather through the medium of Mr. Fitzherbert's toady, Mr. Joshua Butterby (Hr. Buck stone), grievously interrupts the tranquiTty of several persons, Mr. Merryweather discovers in it a copy of verses, which convice him that the poet harbours designs dangerous to his domestic peace, while Miss Crane, sup posing that Butterby is the donor, and not merely the donor's agent, breaks off an engagement that she has contracted with the luckless toady. The heroine of the second act is a more genuine " vic• tim" than the affected fine lady of the first. This is the wife of Mr. Fitzherbert, who, being his inferior by birth, keeps her situation so completely concealed that ho passes everywhere for a single man, while she not only supports him by her needle and her musical talents, but meets his perpetual ill humour with an unfading smile. On the delineation of this character ' the author has bestowed especial pains, and Miss Oliver, to whom it is intrusted, plays it not only with great care, but with much genuine feeling. The discovery of the note in the bouquet, and the owner ship of certain bills of exchange accepted by the poet, induce Mr. Merryweather to visit his lodgings, when he is astonished to find an (di flame, Lucy Atkin, who is the present Mrs. Fitzherbert. Mrs. Merry welcher elm comes to the same spot to engage Lucy Aikin, who re tams her maiden name in the sight of the world, to play on the piano at a grand party, little suspecting that the humble musician is the wile of the brilliant poet. As the husband suspects the wife of visiting the man of genius, and the wife, who has found a packet of old love letters suspects the husband of an intrigue with the little pianist a short fit of jealousy ari,es on both sides, but mu , ual explanation soon set matters right, and Mr. and Mrs. Merryweather both resolve to befriend the de voted wife. A soiree at the house of Mrs, Merry weather that takes place in the third act presents an admirably drawn, though, of course, highly celeured picture of a modern intellectual assemblage. Mrs. Merry weather's circle comprises not only the poet, the poet's toady, and the strongminded lady, but alio Mr. Curdle, a Scotch poli tical economist (Mr. Cullenford), Mr. llornblower, of the "Weekly Beacon" (Mr. Braid), and Mr. Mudd'e mist, a metaphysician (Mr. L. Walter), who talks a jargon based on the laneuage of Hegel. A question put by Mr. R )wley (Mr, Rogers), an honest city friend of Mr. Merryweather, as to the import of the word " aeathetice," causes several of these luminaries to shine forth with great force, and the arrival of a pair of " in expreseibles" for Miss Crane, instead of a handsome gown, presented as a peace-offering by the hapless But terhy, provokes a ruder sort of mirth. A more serious tone is, however, given to the assembly by the intro- Election of Mrs. Fitzterbert in her proper character. She has already been described by Mrs. Merryweather as a perfect specimen of feminine devotion, and Fiizher bert, little sufpecting who is the subject of the description, has been loudest in applause. The appear ance of his wife at first (xeites his indignation, but this is soon changed to contrition, when Merryweather re turns to him the copy of verses, together with his acceptances cancelled. As for Mrs. Merry weather, she confesses that she has been deceived, having mistaken a generous husband for a sordid clod, and a selfish egotist for en ideal specimen of humanity. The description of the plot will convey but a faint notion of the merits of the piece. Every character is firmly and distinctly drawn, and though here and there the incident becomes somewhat farcical, there is nothing farcical in the dialogue. Nearly the whole company is engaged in the representation, and last night all did their best towards the general effect. The success of the work was fully commensurate with its merits. Each of tl:e three acts terminated amid ueiversal applause, and Mr. Taylor's name was proclaimed by Mr. Buckstone to be received with enthusiasm. In the course i f tLe evening Mr. Buckstone delivered the followieg address "Ladies and gentlemen,—l am sure you will excuse the appearance of egotism, which these annual addresses must at all times wear ; but as I am given to understand they 'form oneof the attractions on these occasions, the actor and the managermay be forgiven for resorting to them ; yet as an individual I feel that I must throw myself on your pa tience and forbearance. 1 have now, ladies and gentlemen, the pleasure to inform you of a fact—and, believe me, it is quite true, although it is announced in the playbill— that this theatre has never been closed f0r1,121 nights. It has been constantly and consecutively open for that period, always excepting on those evenings when every theatre shuts up according to custom, or by order of the Lord Chamberlain. Hence we have the question of What is a theatrical season?' I should presume it to mean ' —as long as the manager can keep open. At some theatres I have known three seasons to take place in as many months. I believe that once stately theatre, the walls of which are daily disappearing—Covent Garden— , some time ago rejoiced i❑ a season of one week. But, as regards our season, I can only say, that though we have all read, or at least heard of, Thomson's Seasons,' the Hay market seasons are at present undefined ; at the same time, as all things will have an end, there must come one to this long season. The long parliament was dissolved by Oliver Cromwell. The Cromwell of the Haymarket long season will be the bricklayer, for the time is coming when the usual repairs and redecorations will be required. As I know that I am now addressing friends and well-wishers, I am sure they will be pleased to hear that I have renewed my lease from October next for five years, and that the re newal has been effected on terms most advantageous to my self. I therefore stand in the position of a tenant satisfied with his landlord, though in my case I ought to say land lady, many concessions baying been made for my benefit, thus giving another instance of the kindness and conside ration of that sex which none of us can do without. One of these concessions I must state was the power to modify the prices of admission, which modification, I am happy to say, has given the greatest satisfaction to the public generally, more especially as it has been equitably made, for while the upper boxes, the pit, and the two galleries have benefitted by tne changes, the fashionable dress circle remains as it was, and the aristocratic stalls have bad a slight addition made to their price, because the dis tinguished persons who frequent them can afford to pay it, and not only can afford, but are delighted to do 6D, for since the increase has been made, rarely on any night has there been an empty seat in that part of the house. .And now, ladies and gentlemen, while thanking you for the full and brilliant attendance of this evening, and for the ex pressions of friendship and goodwill which I have always received since I became lessee of this theatre, believe me I shall not relax in my exertions to deserve such expressions I have novelty in preparation, and certain important en gagements concluded fir the future, which it would be imprudent for me to mention just now, wed therefore hope you will be contented to remain with your curiosity ex cited but not gratified. I still intend that comedy and farce shall be the principal entertainments as of yore. You all like to laugh, and I like to hear you ; because it does you good end myself also. Medical men have declared that there is nothing more beneficial to the health thin hearty laughter, consequently I hope that the faculty will agree to make my fortune, by prescribing to all their pa tients ' Take a dose of Buckstone every night.' And now, ladies and gentlemen, permit me to bid you farewell —till to-morrow evening; believe me I retire happy in the knowledge that you will ever consider this time-honoured theatre as your favourite one, while my ambition will be entirely satisfied to learn that you acknowledge, whatever may be the attractions of other theatres, that at the Hay. market you have always been the most amused." This speech was constantly interrupted by the heartiest laughter and applause, and at its conclusion Mr. Buckstone was so deluged with bouquets, that after filling his Gibus hat, he could scarcely stagger from the stage beneath the weight of floral tributes which encumbered his arms.

The Chancellor of the Exc:hequer has given notice that in the course of the present month he will move a resolution in Committee of Ways and Means, " with a view of founding upon it a bill for continuing the present duties on tea and sugar for two years from the Ist of April next." We are, in one respect, grateful for the notice, inasmuch as it will affoid ample time for the na tion to protest emphatically against the proposi tion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has very recently boasted of the ample funds at his dis posal. He has deemed it expedient to pay off 1,125,0001. as compensation to the Danish Go vernment for the abolition of the Sound Dues, re fusing to avail himself of the privilege of liqui dating the amount by instalments spread over 20 or 30 years. He had previously arranged for the payment of debts amounting altogether to 3,150,0001., so that the whole amount wiped off during the present year will be no less than 4,375,000/., and now he asks to continue imposts that have long been unequivocally condemned, without the slightest necessity for such a course. We trust that the chosen representatives of the pe pie will not submit to be made the instru ments for registering his decrees, but will assert their independence, 'and discharge their constitu tional functions, as the guardians of the national purse. The tea and sugar duties were granted last ses sion, for a single year on very erroneous data. We shall not say that there was any actual fraud—. "For you must know the difference is immense Between a simple lie and false pretence ;" but certainly there was an uncandid statement that deceived the House, and led to the con tinuance of imposts that would not otherwise have been sanctioned. Sir G. C. LEWIS declared that the amount was required for the exigencies of the Exchequer, but he did not say that it would be applied to pay off the full amount of the Danish claims. Had ho done so there would be no ground for complaint. The duties would have been either sanctioned or refused by competent authority. The people might aad would have complained respecting the unnecessary burden, and also of the breach of faith with the importers and dealers in tea, but he would be protected by a sevenfold shield. His responsibility would be shared with every other member who supported the impost. The manner in which the notice was given was also peculiarly ungracious. It was while present ing estimates to the amount of 500,0001. for the expenses of the Persian War, of which the House knew nothing until the presentation of "the little bill." Their business was not to con sider • the policy or justice of the expedi tion, but to pay ! It was strictly in accord ance with the approved German model, but, there was no English precedent ! Indeed, as the Prince CONSORT, on a memorable occasion de clared, " The British Constitution is on its trial,'' and if it can pass successfully through such stringent ordeals, it mutt be made of very tough and elastic materials. We shall say nothing of the rather question able taste, that brought the subject forward at a time usually devoted to other pur poses. The Speaker decided it to be in order, and therefore we should not complain of the "sharp practice." But we sincerely hope that the House may vindicate its own honour and its unquestionable privileges, and the most eligible meth) of so doing will be to refuse to sanction the resolution of which Sir G. C. LEWIS has just given notice ! Indeed that notice is all Viat can be require], for there will be ample time to discuss the matter at the beginning of next session, and t) have a Bill disposed of, one way or the other, before the ter mination of the financial year. As all measures of reform have been postponed to a more conve nient opportunity, we think it is only fair that these of tax ttion should share a similar fate—that ► if the people can obtain no relief, they should, at all event;., net be saddled with fresh burdens. Sa'utary counsel—counsel most wise and salu tary—was addressed by Mr. MINGLES, on the 12Lla of Jane, 1857, t) the Cadets at Addisconabe —in a speech of a very remarkable, and, we may venture to add, of au almost prophetic character. An extract from this speech we give elsewhere in our impression of this evening. An (x tract supplied by Mr. MANGLES himself—(in self-defence)--to the chief among our morning contemporaries. It will be seen, upon the most casual glance through this very apt quotation, that the advice addressed upon the 12th of last June to the young Cadets at Addiscombe, by the Chairman of that day's pro ceedings, had reference to a matter of the very last importance to stripling officers then upon the eve of being absorbed into the ranks of the Anglo- Indian Army in llindosta,n. Of the kindly and generous spirit in which the words were spoken every rational man, we conceive, must, upon the instant, rest perfectly assured. " Although a Civilian," Mr. MANGLES may be reasonably enough presumed to havegenuine sympathies vi ii ith the "gal lan tand distinguished . ' service with which it has been his good fortune to be thus personally though indi rectly (during " the best years of his life") asso ciated I Apart from this even, his position as Chairman upon that 12th of June, 1857, clearly authorised him to proffer whatever sentences of friendly admonition and conscientious forewarning his Judgment (enlightened by his Experience) might at the moment dictate to his Lips, in the course of an oral Address delivered to a cluster of "young men who were just entering, or who had just entered the Indian Army"—by—tho expres sion is Mr. MANGLES' own—" one much older than themselves." And that Advice ? It had reference simply to the treatment of the Native Officers by their European Comrades "It was alleged," said Mr. MANGLES, upon the 12th of last June to the Cadets at Addiscombe, " It was alleged, he feared too truly, that the kind and cordial feeling of comrades in arms, serving the same Government, and bound to allegiance and loyalty by the same military oath, had been super seded by a cold and distant demeanour, if not in some instances by positive rudeness of behaviour. Such a state of things was greatly to be deplored. If that estrangement of officers from men, and especially of English from native officers, was al lowed to continue and grow, it was impossible to , calculate the fatal consequences that might ensue." • Observe, especially, the words here given in italics, and recollect that these words were uttered as far back in one respect, and yet as recently in an other; as the 12th of this last June Renaera - MARKET NEWS.--(This Day.)

The committee met this morning for the first time to try the petition of Mr. Oakes, the unsucces , ful candi date at the last election, againq the return of Mr Hard ca,tle, the sitti , T member. The grounds of the petition were bribery, undue influence, and treating. It was stated that Mr. Hardcastle w:s returned by a maj , iity of 54, which was an extraordinary cir cumstance, he being supported by the Dissenting interest, whilst the tendency of the borough was conversative. Rdiance was placed on treating, it being stated that numbers of those who voted for the sitting member were regaled in small parties at public houses, from whence they went to the poll and voted for him in a half beastly state of intoxication. Mr. Salmon, town clerk and election auditor, was ex• amined at some length. BURY (LANCASHIRE). The Committee re-assembled tbis morning and informed the learned counsel that the eommittee only required to hear evidence or any remarks relative to the case of Smith, carver and gilder. Mr. Monk, for the sitting member, then addressed the committee on the state of the borough during the c )etest, and entered at great leegt , into the evidence of Smith, on whom, he contended, no reliance could be placed. Mr. Phinn replied, contending that the evidence fully establi,hed the charge of undue influence, for it went to show that bands of non•elec:ors were organised by some of Mr. Ph:iltp's committeemen to overawe the electors. The Committee then deliberated on the decision with closed doJv. On the readmission of strangers the Chairman declared that the Committee had found Mr, Poillipa duly elected M AYO. The committee re -assembled this morning at the usual hour, The first witness examined was Dr. Thomas M'Greal, a medical man residing at CastLbar. He took an active part in the last election. He composed the pla card to which the resolutions of the archbishop and the bishops were appended; he wrote it in the Rev. Mr. Cabill's room, where he saw Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Jordan, and other gentlemen. Allusion was made to the bishop's resolution, just come from Tuam, and one of the gentlemen present said it would he a capital thing to make use of the resolution as a placard. Tnat suggestion was acted on, but Mr. Moore bad nothing to do with, nor did he know anything about it. At the prior elec.. tion he supported Colonel Higgins. Previous to the nomination ha met tun Rev. Mr. Carley at Westport ; and offered him a seat in his car and drove him to CO' tlebar. Oa the road Mr. Carley read his office from the breviary. Witness spoke to him and Mr. Carley desired bun not to Interrupt him. Oa reaching Castlebar there was a great crowd opposite Colonel Higgins's committee' room. They were making a great noise, and were yerf violent. They groaned at him and Mr. Carley as the/ . passed. The rioting increased, on which Mr. Cade! said he would put an end to it by speaking to the p eo ple, and he went to witness', drawing room and spoke to the people from his window. He told them that he knew very well the game Higgius'e party was playing-' that he only wanted to entrap the people and put then) in gaol,—that Cu!. Higgins had violated his pledge and that it was all up with the colonel in the county. He advised the people to ho home peaceably, and the) disper , ed immediattly. It was customary for a priest to carry his breviary with him. He saw Mr. Carley at the nomination. He got on the table several times to obtain a hearing, for Sir Ricoard O'Donnell, Deaa Burke and Mr. Brabaatm, who wean desirous of speak' ing on behalf of Colonel Higgins. They were heard in consequence. He did not see any violence on the part of Mr. Carley—indeed, be knew he committed none► as he was next to him all the time. The conduct of the Deputy-Sheriff very much attracted his attention• He was very violent in actio❑ and manner, and fro' queutly exclaimed, " that's a lie." He addressed that epithet to Mr. Conway. The nomination passed off quietly, and, upon the whole, it was a quiet election. Toe witness was was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. O'Mally for the petitioner. It created considerable amusement. It was founded on a news' paper report of one of Mr. Moore's speeches in reference to the progress of the election, in which he alluded to the services the priests had rendered in Tipperary, and he hoped, Mayo would follow its example. LAW INTELLIGENO2I.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. -- - - THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS.—IN RE W. J. RoßsoN. A meeting was held to-day under this bankruptcy but it was kept s t r i ct l y private, with locked doors. , had not terrnivated up to one o'clock. ALGERIA. Marshall Valliant, Minister of War, has received a despatch from the governor-general of Algeria, dated from the bivouac of Ait el-Arba, among the Beni-Jenni, of the 3d, in which he givesau account of the capture of the village of Aguernouu-Isen : " The despatch states that the approaches to the village, which is sainted at the evremity of the terri tory of the Beni-RAten, were very difficult from the na ture of the ground, every point of which was protected by intrenehments or ambuscades, established with con siderable art. In the afternoon of the 30th ult., General Macmahon, who was keeping a strict watch on this vil , !age, perceived that the number of its defenders was less numerous than usual, owing principally to the retire ment of the contingent of the Beni Raten and the thni-Fraouccen, who had made their submission and he therefore decided Si Inakir g en immediate attack. After detailing the manner in which the columns of attack were organised, and their crder of advance, which was confided to the command of General Perigot, the despatch goes on to state that the French troops left Icheriden at three o'clock, and effected their movement up the steep approaches to the villne with the greatest regularity, while the artil lery and rocket brigade at the same time kept up a fire on the entrenchments of the enemy. At halt-past three, the firing became general on every point. The fiat en trenchments were vigorously defended, but the right of the attacking party having succeeded in carrying the ambuscades which stood in their way, the ICabyles feared that their retreat would be cut off and aban doned the position. At half-past four, the village and all its defences were in the power of the French. The loss to the French amounted merely to 12 wounded, only one case of which is considered serious. The contingents of the submitted tribes of the Beni-Raten and the Beni-Fraoucen contributed materially to the success of the attack, by making a movement on the rear of the vi lage. The despatch also mentions an attempt made by the goum to destroy the supplies of corn which had been collected by the unsubrnitted tribes in the valley of the Oued Sahel, but which was unsuccessful owing to the attack ing party falling in with a force so numerous that after a skirmish of some duration they were compelled to re treat, which they did in good order, with the loss of one man killed and four wounded. The loss of the enemy was considerable. The Beni-Jenni, Beni-Boudrar, and the Beni-Ouacif have all made their submission and sent ho-tages." The despatch concludes by stating that on the morning of the 2d the divisions of Generals Mac Mahon and Renault occupied without re istance the country of the Beni-Mengueilet, co wmun icatiug with each other by their advanced posts. SPAIN. The contents of the Madrid journals of the 4th are of a certain degree of importance. A band of from 100 to 150 men, armed with carbines and muskets—many of them new—and mounted on horses, had invaded—the date is not given—the town of Utrera, which is at five leagues from Se ville, and contains a population of upwards of 12,000 souls. They were under the enders of a • chief whom They called colonel, and their cry WAS "Long live the Republic!" The gendarmerie hav ing attempted resistance were overpowered, and the insurgents burned down their barrack, at the • same time shooting one of them ; they then burned down the Town-hall, and with it all the ar chives ; afterwards they notified that the population must pay a sum of 8,000 piastres in three hours. The sum was paid, and they left for Osana and the Sierra Morena, taking with them 29 horses of the town or neighbourhod. When the news of these explois reached Seville, detach ments of cavalry were sent in pursuit of the insur gents ; but shortly after symptoms of insurrection manifested themselves in thetown, and especially at a spot called Don _Hermann ; the authorities, in fact, learned that an outbreak was imminent. Ac cordingly, the Captain-General, Don A. Aleson, hastened to publish a haudo declaring the province of Seville in a state of siege, and estahlishing a court mat tial to try persons guilty of sedition or appearing in arms; also lot bidding groups of more than three persons to assemble in cite streets. The preamble to the bando is rather curiously worded :—" Whereas a faction has shown itself in this province and has carried into execution its Vandalic ideas of clevas tation and incendiarism, I have," etc. The jour- • nals also state that movements have taken place at Malaga, Jaen, Cadiz, and La Carolina (the place at which the mail was recently robbed), but they give no detail. They also state that disturbances were expected at Badajoz. A telegraphic despatch, dated the 7th, says ha the insurrection of Utrera had been completely put down, and that 20 of the insurgents had been killed ; also that 22 others, who had been arrested, were to be shot. The Indipendente of Tuiin of the sth says : " We learn from Genoa that Miss Jesy Meriton White has been arrested, having refused to quit the country, and declared her intention of under going a trial rather than leave. She ha 3, it is said, written to Advocate Brofferio to ask him whether he would be disposed to undertake her defence." Advices from Constantinople of the 25th ult. state that oa the preceding night Chefki Paaha, member of the council of police, was assassinated out of vengeance by one of his subordinates. Th e Litter penetrated into the harem of his superior and killed him with repeated stabs of a dagger. The wife of the murdered man having sought to detain the assassin, was likewise killed by him. He sub. sequently gave himself up to the auth or iti es and admitted his guilt. RUSSIANS ON THE COAST OF CIRCASSIA.—Letters from Constantinople of the 24th of June make mention of an official report by Reis Ostnan, the master of an Ottoman coasting craft, to the authorities at Trebiz nude en the 16th or that month of tnig vessel's havin g , while hauled up on the beach at Gh e l en ji k, been fired into on the 3d by a Russian steamer of war carrying a British flag, when some seven or eight out of a score of shots struck her hill, and which steamer, after firing some 100 shots at the bazaar, without causing any damage of im portance, weighed anchor, and gave chase to and finally captured another Ottoman coasting craft, salt laden, with a merchant on board belonging to Trebizonde. The steamer afterwards went on to Soudjak Kaleb, accom panied by three gun-boats in tow, where, after bombard ing the place, some 80 or 90 armed men landed, ran sacked the bazaar of the most valuable goods exposed there for sale, then set fire to the rest and to all the con tiguous houses, capturing two more coasting craft bc -I"ging to Trebizmde, laden with butter and grain. The same Osman Reis, moreover, re ports that towards the close of May Sefer Bey and Mehmet Pasha, at the head of 20,000 Circassians and Poles, defeated in the vicinity of nape a Russian force of 15,000 with dread ful slaughter, no quarter being shown. Prince Gagarine had evaded the watchfulness of the Circassian sharp. shooters, and contrived to land three battalUns during the darkness of the night, which force had occupied Gagra. Letters from Constantinople and Smyrna by the overland mail speak of serious disturbances in Mingrelia. cc. THE GLASGOW POISONING. THE VERDICT. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] [FROINI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NINTH DAY-THURSDAY. The intense interest manifested during the whole of the eight days this extraordinary trial has lasted, was greater than ever this morning. Crowds of people outside the court who had not been suc cesiful in obtaining admission, were trying every means in their power to gain an entrance into the court, and the police had the greatest difficulty in heaping a space clear, for those who were personally engaged in the trial. As early as seven o'clock this morning Parliament-square was densely crowded, and as the hour of opening the court ap proached, the crowdincreased to such an extent that it was difficult to reach the top of the High street. The Court opened at ten o'clock, but for some time previous that portion not appropriated to the public presented an extraordinary appearance. The jury entered the court shortly before ten o'clock, and upon their lordships arrival the prisoner was placed in the dock. Her appearance was much the same as it was at the commencement of the trial. There was, how ever, a slight shade of sadness in her expression, but no trace of that anxiety and deep men tal suffering b be expected in a woman charged with such a dreadful crime and with her life in such imminent danger. During the continuance of the summing up to-day, notwithstanding the strong remarks of the Lorl Advocate with reference to the damaging points in the evidence against the prisoner, she presented that coolness and indiffer ence she has all along exhibited a most remarkable and extraordinary manner. The Lord Justice Clerk, in a very audible voice, commenced his summing up, and having called to the recollection of the jury the point at which the court adjourned last, proceeded to read and com ment upon the whole of the evidence adduced both on the part of the Crown and for the defence. He, in conclusion, earnestly impressed on the jury the importance of their fully considering all they had heard, and said that the case now only awaited their verdict. Unless they thought that clear conviction was brought to their minds it would be their duty to acquit her. They were not to proceed upon suspicion, or even strong suspicion, but there must be strong convic tion iu their minds, and if there was any reason able doubt, it was their duty to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt ; but if they came to that clear conclusion of her guilt, they were not to al low any suggestion made for the defence to deter them from doing their duty. The learned judge having reminded the jury of the oath they had taken, concluded by beseeching an allwise and all seeing Providence to direct them to a right verdict. The jury then retired to their room. The appearance of the court at this particular moment it is impossible to describe, many of the spectators being moved to tears by the im pressive and earnest address of the learned judge. In Scotland when a jury have agreed upon their verdict a small bell is rung ; upon this signal being given the most breathless Eilence prevailed, and in a short time afterwards the jury re appeared in court, when The Clerk of the Court, addressing the jury, said—Gentlemen, have you agreed to your verdict ? The Foreman, in a firm tone—We have. Tho Clerk of the Court—How say you, gentle men ; do you find the prisoner Guilty or Not Guilty ? The Foreman—We find the Prisoner "NOT GUILTY" on the first count, And " NOT PROVEN," on the Second and Third. A burst of applause followed the announcement of tke verdict, but was immediately suppressed. During the awful moments between the return of the jury into court and the giving of their ver dict, the prisoner betrayed not the least emotion, but on its delivery, she gave a heavy sigh, Which appeared to give her much relief. The excitement produced outside the caurt, when the verdict became known, was immense. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary will honour the Earl and Coun tess of Wilton by their company on the 14th instant. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe and the Lady Susan Innes-Ker have left the Clarendon, for Floors Castle, Kelso, N.B.

Piccolomini, has announced for his benefit, which is to take place on Monday next, a selection from a number of different operas. No less than five distinct performances are included in the bill, and yet there is not one of the performances which could be omitted without sacrificing some distinc tive f ea t ure o f the new tenor's art. The fourth act of "Il T eaaa t or e," containing the celebrated " Romatiza and Misere" coal I scarcely be rijscted. The last act of "Lucia" belongs to Guiglini alone, and a benefit with out the is p oeo would be quite incomplete. The next piece ie the last act of "Il Pirate," in which Guiglini will essay, for the first time in London, the " Tu Vedrsi," which old opsra goers still associate with the name of Rubini. .The scene from "I Martini," which created so profound a sensation on Monday last, will be again given, and the evening will appropriately conclude with the last act of "La Favorite," which won for Signor Guiglini on his first appearance the high posi tion which he has since so effectually maintained.

Complainant said he had been much longer, and directed him to cora° with hint. Complainant called on C7O to take the prisoner's duty. Prisoner then observed, •‘ I suppose you are going' to take me to the station-house. Prisoner re' marked that he would not go there.
