Commence at Seven o'clock precisely. S 2 pers, titc.. until twelve o'clock We earnestly invite attention to a communica tion, signed " Ex-M.P." which will be found in another part of this day's impression, and which boldly and fairly grapples with the interesting question of Baron ROTHSCHILD'S undoubted right to sit and vote in Parliament, as one of the chosen representatives of the City of London. We regret that "Ex" should be prefixed to the magic ini tials. We want such men at the present (lay— men with clear heads, vigorous intellects, and un flinching resolution—to assert their rights and privileges, without truckling or bending to expe diency, or yielding what ought "to be" to what conveniently may be. The "Ex-M.P. " clearly explains what we as serted on Saturday, that the case of Alderman SALOMONS was essentially different from that of Baron ROTHSCHILD, in the event of the House passing a resolution to admit hits on taking the sutstatice of the prescribed oaths. It has in truth "no bearing whatever on the question respecting Mr. DILLWYN'S rose lution." Alderman SALMONS took no oath, or rather no "legal" oath. For the authority by which the oath was administered decided that "Slavery, disguise it as we will, is still a bitter it was not a valid execution of Vie requisite for draught." It signifies little whether it retain, „mute. y Had th e d ec i s i on b een different, as we h the old d es i ena ti on, or i s termed " a pprenticc ope and b e li eve it will be in the present in ship,", or any euphonious appellation that may stance, no action could have been brought, no serve to disguise the Atrocious system.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 20, lBb7, E S U LONBON, MONDAY E VENINGQ JULY 20, 188 7. Africa is neither more nor less than slavery, pure. and simple. We are told that it is but an experiment, by means whereof an adequate supply of black labour can be obtained where it is now deficient—that it, is for the benefit (!) of the negroes who, being slaves in their own country, will be redeemed or purchased, and entitled after a specified time to return home free and independent. In other words, their penal servitude is to be but for seven or ten years, in pla3e of being for life. It is also said that the scheme, having obtained the sanction of the French EMPEROR, it is useless to struggle against it, and that we may as well participate in the benefits to arise from the specious device. In ther words, that Great Britain, to please its ally, should enter on a retrograde policy, and ignore all the struggles and expenditure of the last half century—shod , ' deliberately abandon all its efforts for the suppression of the abominable traffic, and recant the opinions, which elevated the British name to the highest rank in the scale of nations ! Lord BROUGHAM bas boldly grappled with the specisus fallacy. In a speeoh distinguished by all the vigour and energy that characterised his early and most brilliant exertions, he has de nounced the scheme, and obtained the cordial 0) - operation of Ministers, and the unanimous assent of the House of Lords, to the address to the QUEEN, " that she would be graciously pleased to withhold her countenance from all such schemes among her subjects, and would use her best en deavours among her MAJESTY'S allies for engaging them to discountenance all projects which have a tendency to promote African emigration by any means directly or indirectly connected with the purchase of slaves or ransom of captives taken in war." There is apparently but one dissentient to this decided course. But one journal that does not feel that it is, at best, but "a mockery, a delusion, and a snare," one calculated to revive the un holy trade, in all its glaring enormity ! The Times asserts—" That taking that grand sum mary view of the question, whlch we c tnnot help taking, after a quarter of a century, the process was a failure," that "it destroyed an immense property, ruined thousands of good fsmilies, de graded the negroes still lower than they were, and after all, increased the mass of Slavery in less scrupulous hands." It also sneers at Lord BROUGHAM as " that distinguished representative 1 of the intentions and failures of the last genera tion." We are, however, still disposed, on such a point, to pin our faith on the veteran Reformer; the indefatigable fellow-labourer with CLARKSON and WILBERFORCE—the consistent and faithful philanthropist, who has so long defended the rights and liberty of his fellow-man, without distinction of race, clime, or colour—and wed so the more readily when all the reasoning and argument are on his side, and nothing, save a ponderous and unworthy attempt at ridicule on the other. Lord BROUGHAM did not ascribe any wrongful intention to the EMPEROR. He believed that he had been misled, misinformed, and deceived," and he clearly, distinctly, and unequivocally pointed out the mode in which the scheme, if carried into practical execution, "must end in a renewal of the internal African Slave Trade." The arguments of its promoters, including the Times, were merely a rechauffee of the hackneyed reasons that had been invariably used on every occasion for the last 60 years, so long as any pro slavery men could be found with sufficient hardihood to repeat them in his place iu either House of Parliament. Lord BIIOI3GELAM proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the negroes would not understand the plan, even were it to be carried out in the most straightforward and bona fide manner. None would voluntarily consent to ten years exile, with compulsory labour in the interval, however spe cious the promises that may be made respecting the terms and prospects of a return. The demand would only be met by slaves brought from the interior. The King of DAHOMEY, and other sable potentates, would unleash their respective packs and pursue the human game with increased vigour. A market was ensured for their captives, and when once they could legally be purchased, and legally conveyed across the seas, it would be impossible to check those who would seek not t ransom the prisoners, but to deal according to the old piratical, system, and to carry off their victims to permanent and hopeless slavery. As Mr. FITZPATRICK, an unimpeachable witness, dea lt ., d, " a limited demand in the way proposed would bring more slaves from the interior than wore wanted, and they would be starved in barracoons, while it would unsettle the minds of the people, and disturb, and destroy legitimate trade, as much as an unlimited traffic under the old sys- I tem." Under such circumstances we rejoice that her MAJESTY'S Government have had their hands strengthened by the unanimous res.-- lution of the Uppez House, and trust that the Commons will arm them with a similar weapon. Against such remonstrances as they wilt then be justified in forwarding, we cannot con ceive that other Powers will remain. insensibly. It is the duty of every man, who desires the total abolition of the infamous trade, to spare no effirts that may conduce to bring about that great desideratum, and prevent Eugland from undoing all that she has achieved for the last half century. which an oath should be taken, as in subjecting to the legal penalties of perjury any who should t tke one wrongfully, and wilfully and deliberately make false statements in matters pertinent to any legal inquiry then pending. It was, wo believe, passed for the purpose of setting at rest the doubts that arose respecting the evidence of some Chinese witnesses who were sworn by solemnly breaking a saucer in court. It is, therefore, not exactly applicable to the present proceedings. The resolutions suggested by the Honourable Gentleman appear, "facto a dunguem," exactly suited to the emergency. They are founded on the unwritten law of the land, as ex plained in the leading case of " OMICHUND V. BA Ras "—and the numerous authorities that have followed that established precedent, and many which were collected by the late eminent Jurist, Mr. SMITH, in his well known "leading cases." They are as follows, and we fancy will command the universal assent of the Liberal Members friendly to the principle of the Oath's Bill, viz.:— " Ist. That by the undoubted law of those realms, every person called upon to take an oath i 3 entitled to have such oath administered in the form and with the ceremonies most binding upon his conscience. " 2J. That the question, Whether the oath which the deponent is willing to take is really most binding upon his conscience,' must, from the nature of the case, be decided by the party who administers the oath. " 3d. That although any such decision by an inferior court would be a proper subject for ap peal, yet it is the I►w of this land that there can be no appeal between courts of co-ordinate•juris diction." The first resolution is, as we have shown, founded on the Common Law, and cannot be con troverted or impeached by any constitutional law yer. It follows as the natural consequence of the decision in " OMICHUND V. BARKER." The sc cond shows who are the legitimate and proper judges of the manner in which the oath should be taken, so as to be " most binding on the con science of the recipients." Fur this purpose he will be examined on the voir dire, as it is termed, so that the presiding authority may deter mine whether the proposed form is suitable and proper, according to the religious opinions of the party. That being determined, none but a superior Court could subsequently impeach that decision. But the House of Commons recognises no supe rior, and we cannot suppose that any of the Superior Courts of Common Law would arrogate to itself the right of reviewing or control ling its resolutions or judgments. Ex-M.P. has, therefore, struck the right nail on the head. The proceedings on Friday night will show the utter absurdity of the RUSSELL compromise, which can only weaken the position of the representative branch of the Legislature, without the slightest prospect of averting the collision that sooner or later must take place. We trust, then, that the members who are again to meet to-morrow, will eventually decide on the course which the honour and dignity of the Commons House of Parliament imperatively demand, and that they may obtain the cordial ccncurrence of Lord PALMERSTON' and his Govern ment therein. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of the Netherlands attended by the Dutch Minister and a numerous suite, also the Duchess of Orleans, the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, and a large party, visited the Crystal Pa lace en Saturday, and dined in the Palace after the dis play of the great fountains. The Earl of Derby returned to town on Saturday, from Knowsley, Lancashire. The Earl of Wilton came to town on Saturday, from staying with the Earl of Derby at Knowsley. Viscount Althorp, M.P., has left England, with the ntention of making a tour of several months' duration in the United States. Lord and Lady John Russell have taken their depar cure from Farrance's Hotel, where they have been mak ing a lengthened sojourn, for Pembroke Lodge, Rich mond Park. Lieut.-General Sir Colin Campbell, the new com mander-in-chief of the English army in India, arrived at Marseilles o❑ the morning of the 15th, and embarked on board the Vectis, which started in a few minutes after the Alexandria. Tn ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—The following were among the fashionables attending the performances on Saturday evening :—The Duke of Wellington, the Mar quis of A ilesLury, Viscountess Dillon and the Hon.

Map Ams CELESTE.—We ( xtract the following from Galignani :—" Madame Celeste, the directress of the Royal Adolphi Theatre in London, is at present in Paris for a few weeks' repose after the fatigues of an unu,u ally prolonged season. This lady, who is teemed the Madame DeeJai of London, in tutbdrama, has also the reputation of the first pantomimic actress of the present day." SURREY THEATRE.—" 11 Trovatore " has been pro duced, under the superintendence of Mr. Tully, and is executed in a very creditable style. The chief novelty connected with the performance is the appearance of Mr. Henry Squires, a young tenor of much promise, in the popular character of Maurice. He has a chest voce of great compass, well suited to the gentle strains of the romantic troubadour, which he sings with taste and feeling, though he lacks force for the more violent de tooestrations of passion. Lecnera is represented by Lucy Escott, who exerts all her ens rgiea to give force to the passionate utterances of the character. The most finished pee formance in every respect is the Azucena of .Lanza, who not only sings the music in artist-like style, but acts in a free unconstrained manner thet happi!y avoids both tameness and exaggeration. Tue choruses are executed with great spirit, and the manner in which the - ehele work is done shows high talent for organise. tier on the part of the musical director. He finds his reward in an enthusiasm among the audience that is most remarkable considering the warmth of the weather. PRINCE NAPOLEON. LIVERPOOL, JULY 17. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon returned to Liver pool from Manchester last niget, and proceeded on board La Reine H eeense. This morning the Prince proceeded on board the - United States steam frigate Niagara, where he was received by Captain Hudson. He aas shown over the vessel, with the noble proportions and capacity of which be seemed highly delighted ; and his attention was also directed to the process of coil ng the great At lantic submarine telegraph cable on board. Captain Elude n expleined the properties of the cable and its mode of manufacture, and presented his Highness with a piece of it, and with a chart showing the pla-e where it Is to be hid down. The Prince, who rs pressed the pleasure he had derived from this interesting visit, sta.} eI on board about an hour and a half. Thin ' evening the Don y Meyor and Mr. Charles Turner will dine with his Imperial Highness on board the Hortense, which will sail tc-eight for the Isle of Man, from which place it will probably proceed to Belfast. THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—According to the Dublin Eveniag Post orders have been received by the authorities to increase the strength of every effective regiment in Ireland to I,ooo"strong.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—The United States h tea rn -fr gate Susquehanna arrived at Portsmouth yes terday afternoon. She is to accompany the Niagara in laying down the cable. Caors IN CANADA.—Letters from Canada say the crops are magnificent, and an abundant harvest is looked upon as a certainty. TILE WELLINGTON MONUMENT.— The exhibition of made,a for the monument to the late Duke of Welling ton in Westminster Hall, was opened to the pubic this morning. It will continue open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturday until further notice. The models are valued at 25,0001. LITEST NEWs FRANCE. PARIS; SUNDAY EVENING. After some time spent in taking counsel and de liberating among friends and colle ague s, it see ms to be settled that three out of the five Democratic deputies for Paris refuse to take the oaths to the Imperial Government. These three are General Cavaignac, M. Goudchaux, and M. Carnot. The List is said to have hesitated a good deal, the firs , !ess so, but the second declared from the beginning his repugnance to übmit to such a condition. authorities loretw in enty-fours hours pressing on the interment ndu o c f t of the Beranger b nad elapsed, is doubtless palliated by the maxim that "necessity has no law." One can hardly condemn the, precautions taken to prevent a repeti tion of the tumultuous displays and the serious conflicts of which the streets of Paris have been the theatre on similar occasions, though one may blame as unnecessary the menacing intimation conveyed in the ordinance of the Prefect of Police on the morning of the ceremony. The haste with - which the interment took place was, it is alleged, owing to the fact of the authorities having received information that revolutionary com mittees would meet on the night previous to the funeral, and organise their plans of " manifesta tion." With the army that Paris and its envi ronshave at hand, anything like a successful attempt at insurrection may appear hopeless : and the pro jectors of the " manifestation may have contem plated nothing beyond a strong mustering of ~eople with their appropriate rallying signs and badges. A committee of tha secret societies, was, we are assured, to meet on the day following the death of Beranger ; and it was again to sit the same night, ignorant of the resolution previously come to by the Government that the funeral should take place without delay. There is something abhorrent from every feeling of hu man nature in converting affection and reverence towards the dead into an occasion for disorder, and in provoking a collision over the remains, not yet cold, of one whose name has been in the heart and on the lips of Frenchmen for the last 4 . 0 years and more, regardless of the dying injunction of the deceased himself. The force ready to act in case of emergency was very large. Independent of the four regiments which kept the boulevards front the Theatre of the Ambigu to the Chateu d'Eau under General Blanchard on Friday, two brigades were in readiness at the Bastille ; and, besides the squadrons of the Paris guards in ebus'ant move ment up and down the line to keep the passage clear for carriages and foot passengers, strong patrols of Carabineers, who had come in from Versailles, watched in the direction of Passy (the po,t's former residence) and the places contiguous. Detachm nts also occupied the streets leading to the Rue Ven dome, where Beranger lately resided. In a word, the arrangements were of such a nature as to crush instantly the slightest attempt at disturbance. It is said that a Convention is to be signed be tween the Sovereigns of the Italian State, with the exception of the King of Sardinia, to guarantee each other against revolutionary attacks. Prince Voronzoiv, only son of the celebrated Prince Woronz ow , late Governor-General of the Crimea, has arrived in Paris with his family. The Minister of Marine has decided that in future no more cutters shall be built for the French navy. They are to be replaced by advice boats of 30-horse-power. " The investigation into the plot against the Em peror," says a Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels, "is still carried on with great activity. The accusation appear; to be concentrated on two of the Italians in custody; the third appearing not to have known much of what they were about. One of the two confesses—the other denies. The affair, the precise gravi y of which has not yet been ascertained, seems decidedly to have formed part of the projects which have just come to light in A Paris letter, in the .Nord of Brussels, says : "If I am well informed, a long conference took place a few days ago between Count Walewski, Lord Cowley, and Baron de Hubner, principally turning on the affairs of Italy, and on the measures to be adopted for preventing a recut rence to the s attempts, so calculated to compromise European tranquillity. The French Government is actively engaged in organising means for watching mere closely than ever the proceedings of secret societies abroad, and to defeat their manoeuvres. Count Walewski was authorised to impress on Lord Cowley that England, of all the Powers, was the one that could lend the most useful co operation to such views by not giving so readily an wayluna to all the revolutionary propagan dists. It has been already stated that an Italian Power had assumed the initiative in making repreentations to England on the great latitude afforded to political refugees in the British capital. At present letters from Italy announce that it is the Grand Duke of Tuscany who made an applica tion on the subject throngh his Charge d'Affaires at London. The English Cabinet, it is said, replied that the habits and legislation of the country did not al!ow it to comply with the prayer of the repre sentation so made, but that, as it could not send Mazz ni away, it would subject him to a strict sur veillance."

She, left Alexandria July 6; Malta., 10 and Gibraltar, 14. The Pera, outwards, met with generally fine weather, but experienced fresh head winds from Cape St. Vincent to Malta, a distance of 1,200 miles. Homewards she met with light head-winds in the Mediterranean, a Levanter through the Straits, light cap iable winds up the coast and across the Bay, and calm smooth weather up the Channel. This steamer brings 132 passengers (67 first and 65 second class), among whom are Colonel Jervis and family, Messrs. Lushington, Belli, Bailey, and Polam, from Calcutta ; Mr. Smith, of the War Department, from Hong Kong ; Dr. Mackenzie, from Malt ; and Sir G. Leith, from Gibraltar.

T►te Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Co;ombo, Captain Black, with the outward mails of the 4th, arrived at Gibraltar a little before 6 p.m. on the Bth, having made the run from South ampton in four days and three hours, one of the quickest on record. She resumed her voyage to Malta and Alexandria the same evening. The Alhambra, with the mails of the 7th from Southampton, arrived at Gibraltar as the Peru was leaving at 9 a.m. on the 14th. The steamship Araxes arrived at Gibraltar from Alexandria on the 14th, and would leave the same day. The British ship Uncas put in at Gibraltar on the 6th, with topmasthead sprung and topmast carried away, having experienced very rough weather in the channel.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY. Her Majesty's sloop Frolic, 6, Commander L. W. Peyton, from Table Bay, May 14, arrived this mo. ning. It was reported. at Cape Town that Pretorious with 500 men had crossed the Orange river frontier to claim certain lands held by the cluef Boshoph. The German Legion, with full pay, are scaling on their several allotments, and Berlin, Potsdam, and other continental cities are 3pe,:dily obtaining village namesakes in South Africa. East London is quiet, and the heal-quarters of the 89th are removed therefrom to Cape Town ; that regiment is relieving the 731 at Fort Pato, Murray, Grey, &c. • A new and shorter road to King William's Town is in course of formation, and forts Jackson, Ame line, &c. are erecting on various favourable paints. 1 The Castor, 6, flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K.U. 8., and. the paddle-wheel steam sloop Herine -, , 6, Commander William E. A. Gordon, were at Sin Pin's Bay. The steam frigate Penedo: e, 16, Captain Sir William S. Wiseman, was at table Bay. The steam sloop Geyser, 6, Commander Arthur Tower, was on a survey. The Frolic spoke, May 31, off St. Helena, the paddle-wheel steam sloop Scourge, 6, flag of Sir John Adams, Commodore of the 'West Coast of Africa, and, July 17, off the Lizard, under topsails, the Boscawen, 78, Captain Richard A. Powell, from Plymouth for the Cape of Good Hope. The Frolic was commissioned in 1853, and has been constantly employed on the Cape station. She was engag..d a fortnight in a fruitless effort to d:scover some remnants of the lost brig Nerbulda. BARON ROT.HRC_HI RIGHT TO VOTE UsDOUBTED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —lt is most wond rful to observe the loa• 1 s of rubbish with which lawyers, and, I am sorry to say, Statesmen--at any rate, these who piss as such—encumber and mystify cases affecting the public wed ; and undoubtedly the one under con sideration has received its full amount, and this hecius3 some men lift up the whites of their eyes And call it a question of consience. At the public meeting on Thursday, Sir James Graham endeavoured, and, I am sorry to say, suc oeeded in frightening the M.P.'s, by treating the case of Aldet man Salornons as one in point, whereas, in truth, it had no bearing whatever on the question respecting Mr. Diliwyn's resolutions, for Mr. Alderman Salomons took no legal oath, and it was proposed that Baron Rothschill should take one. Lord John Russell's proposed bill is, ace:Taint ,- to his own showing, both ; for he said " it was to clear up the ambiguity, whether the words, on any occasion, are confined to courts of justice, or extend to higher authority." Such a sentence from a Russell ! How are the mighty f4len ! For surely the words, "on any occa , ion," are wide enough to admit everything, from Buckingham Palaca to a cobbler's stall. Mr. Dill wyn's res'Autions are very bad ; they are either too large, or not I,rge enough. Those which I would suggest are these Ist. Thai - by- the undoubted law of these realms, evcry person called upon to take an oath is entitled to have such oath administered in the form and with the ceremonies most binding upon his con science. 2J. That the question " Whether the oath which the deponent is willing to take is really most bind ing upon his consciewe," must, from the nature of the case, be decided by the party who administers the oath. 3d. That although any such decision by an in ferior court would be a proper subject for appeal, yet it is the law of this land that there can be no appeal between courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction.. These resolutions being adopted, and who could gainsay them, then Baron BOnschild would apply to take the oath, when the usual one would be ten dered to him. He would thou state to the House that the words "on the true faith of a Christian,. so help me God," were not thore most binding upon: his conscience. Mr. Speaker---State to the House the words which would be most binding upon your con science. Baron Rothschild—The words which would be mast binding on my conscienco are, So help me Jehovah, omitting those "on the true faith of a Chi istian, so help me God." Whereon it would be moved and seconded that the words "on the truo faith of a Christian, eo help me God," being the form of oath, and not the sub stance of that which is sworn to, the oath be admi nistered to BAron Rothschild by the omissinn of the above words and the substitution of these, "So help me Jehovah," being those which Baron Rothschild has declared to be most binding upon his conscience. Assuming this question to be carried in the affir mative, for, if not., the question falls to the ground, the Baron is called on, informed of the decision of the house, takes the amended oath, and votes. A qui tam action is brought to recover 5001. for having voted without taking the oath required by law ; and the plea wculd be that the Baron had taken the oath required by law, as appears by the journal of the House of Commons. This would, in truth, be an at erupt to - raise the question whether the words " on the true faith of a Christian" were part of the substance of the mat tsr sworn to, or the form of oath, and undoubtedly, upon this question, a fair difference of opinion may arise—a difference which, as is well known, ex tends to the judges of the land. But what would the Court hold ? Can there be any rational doubt in the mind of any laWyer that they, would say we hare no jurisdiction on the question whether the oath was or not properly taken, because thit has already been decided by a Court ofco-ordinate jurisdiction and equal authority with ourselves. Surely this is thi straightforwakd mode of settling the question. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, July 18, 1857. EX. M.P. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO ALDERSHOT. On Saturday last another imposing military spec tacle, in the shape of a grand field-day or review, took place at Aldershot ' in which her Majesty was not only a mere spectator, but a prominent actor. The troops, under the command of Lieutenant- General Knollys, Major-General Lord W. Paulet, Major-General the Hon. J. Scarlett, and Major- General the Hon. A. Spencer, took up their posi tions shor ly after nine o'clock. They consisted of the Ist Dragoon Guards, the 6th Inniskillings, the 4th Light Dragoons, the 7th Huisars, 15th Hussars, the Coldstream Guards Ist Battalion, the 60th, the 54th, the 22d, - the 15th, the 96th, 20th, and 97th Regiments of the Lino, the Ist and 3d batta lions of the Rifle Brigade, two troops of Horse Ar tillery, one troop of Foot Artillery, with field bat teries, three companies of Royal Engineers and Sappers and Miners, and pontoon train, &c., amounting altogether to about eleven thousand men. Her Majesty left the Pavilion precisely at ten o'clock, and shortly after the booming of the can non announced the arrival of the royal cortege on the ground. The Queen, instead of being present in an open carriage as on the previous day, was mounted on a splendid charger, and attired in her equestrian military costume. As soon as her Majesty reached the plateau on the west of the south camp, the first division of the army, under the command of Major-General the A. Spencer, consisting of the Soo' s Fusilier Guards, the 3d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and the 06th and 22d Regiments, took up a position on the north bank of the Basingstoke Canal. The evolu tions of the troops continued in that direction, the cavalry t eking up a position on the right and of the long valley, whilst the artillery having gained the ridge of the various hills, kept up a heavy tire in the direction of the supposed enemy. By this time her Majesty, the Queen, the Prince Con sort, the Commander in -Chief, and the royal Cor tege, had gained the point of an immense hill, from which a splendid view of both armies in the valley benelth, as well as the pontoon practice on the Basingstoke Canal, at a place called the " Cove," was obtained. it was at first supposed from each division throwing out its skirwi-hers of Rifles that a general shamfight would take place ; but this notion was speedily dissipate 1, for no sooner bad the pontoon bridge been completed than the Cold streams and the other regiments which held the north side of the canal marched over and joined the anticipated t nemy. The cavalry then threw out their videttes, and after manoeuvring for some time charged at full gallop across the valley. The Queen and party then made their way in a south-westerly direction to the ridge of the splendid hills known at Caesar's Camp, and which commands a view of the entire valley. Across this the in fantry, after a vast number of evolutions in con junction with cavalry, flanked by the artillery, formed in one immense line, which kept up a suc cession of volley and file firing which filled the valley with smoke, until the want of ammunition put a stop to the tremendous fire of infantry and artillery. Shortly after one o'clock the sound of the bugles intimated that the review was at eud, and her Majesty and the Royal cortege having descended the hill to the plain, the whole of the troops marched past the Queen, each regiment being headed by its respective band, playing lively ars, and it was not until nearly two o'clock that the royal party left the ground for the Pavilion. H. r Majesty quitted the camp at Aldershot, and 'started with the Prince Consort, the Royal family, and suite,-at four o'clock, under an escort of the 7th Hussars, for the Farnborough sta'ion, to proceed by special train, via the South-Western Railway to Gosport, and from thence to her Ma jesty's marine residence at Osborne. The Hon. R. Dutton, M.P., and other directors of the company, attended her Majesty from Fat n borough to Gosport. The eng ne was driven by Mr. Beattie, locomotive superintendent ; and Mr. Scott, manager, and Mr. Croinbie, secretary to the company, travelled with tl:e train. THE DANUBE. " The Turkish Government," says a letter from Vienna, " has resolved to send several engineers to Widdin to complete the construction of the ex ternal works. Iu order to prevent the D an ub e from constantly undermining the principal ram part, massive constructions will be built in order to prot!ct the works. Th , 3 guns f or arm i ng th e bat teries have already arrived at Widdin, and there are among tlrui several mortars of a very largo calibre." ITALY. TURIN, July 13.—The Senate proceeded to-day to the consideration of the bill for a new conven tion between the Government and the Savoy Rail way Company, including the project for tunnelling the Mont Cenis. The late Mazzintan attempts naturally form the staple of all discussions on Italian politics at pre sent ; and it is really curious and amusing to see the efforts of certain Absolutist journals—German, Russian, French, and Italian--to cast the Oltil3 on the Sardinian Government, whereby they gene rally succeed in proving so much that they end by making themselves supremely ridiculous. Accord ing to these critics, the Sardinian Government is ill informed by its secret agents, badly served by it 3 police, and is itself wanting in the essential quali ties of caution and prudence. If it had not been for the warnings of the French police the train of the plot would never have been discovered, and, even as it was, the town of Genoa was only saved from destruction by ac cident, and not in any degree owing to the vigilance of the authorities, who were lost in a dream of fancied security. All this, they say, is the consequence of constitutional government, and therefore, . of course, they infer that constitu tionalism is a perpetual source of disquietude to the neighbouring Governments, and ought forth with to be rooted out. A Berlin letter, in the Dresden, Gazette, says : " The new Russian tariff will have a much greater influAice on our trade than was expected. A proof of it was vi.yible at the late fair at Frankfort, where Berlin cotton goods were bought up with extraor dinary rapidity." --- Accounts from Berlin states that the reply of Prussia, to the last Danish note is dated the 6th, and that it promises to remain passive until after the meeting of the States of Holstein. The answer of Austria bears the same date, and is to the same effect. Intelligence from Florence states that the Pope is expected to arrive in that city on the 15th Aug. to celebrate the religious services of the Assump tion, and to return the visit which the Grand Duke of Tuscany made hint at Bologna• The British Museum Di, we understand, soon to be enriched by a new collection of antiquities. These, the fruit of the researches instituted at Budrun, the ancient Halicarnassus, by Mr. C. Newton, ber Maje,ty's Con sul at Mitylene, have already left Malta in the steamer Gorgon, and are expected to arrive in this country in a few days. They all belong to the renewed sepulchre of King Mausolus ; many slabs from which, found worked into the walls of the modern town of Budrun, have been already for some years in the national collection. They will for the present be placed in one of the twegient rooms of the Museum.—Literary Gazette, LLOYD' 3 511IPPING.---allis Day.)

DEATH OF THE HON. W. L. MARA'. The sad intelligence that William L. Marcy is no more will be heard with feelings of profoundest sorrow and regret, not only in this, the State in which he lived, but in every State in the Union. He was found dead in his room at Ballston, Sara - toga county, last Saturday noon. When last seen he seemed to be in the enjoyment of his woiated health and spirits. Born in Stourbride, Massa chussetts, in 1786, he was consequently 71 years of age at the time of his death. Early in life, after graduating at Brown University, in Rhode Island, he removed to this state, and commenced the prac tice of ttie legal profession at Troy, of which city he became Recorder in 1816, and after occupying the highest stations of trust, responsibility, and honour which the citizens of New York c Auld con fer up m him,—Adjutant-General in 1821, Comp troller in 1823, Judge of the Supreme Court in 1829, United States' Senator in 1831, Governor in . . 1833, to which office he was twice re-elected—he was selected by successive national Executives to fill the pest in each Cabinet which for the time be ing was the most arduous and prominent. As Sec te.at y of War under President Polk, we are largely indebted to h's energy, activity, and skill for the suuessful prosecution of a contest which gave fresh lustre to the laurels of the Ameri can army, and added California and New • Mexico to the Republic. His sagacious use of the means at his disposal to render the army as effi cient as possible, without increasing the taxation or having recourse to any extrwirdinary expedient, —the ability with which the war was brought to a close,- - -and the magnanimity which was displayed in the conclusion of peace, are alike honourable to himself and the country. As Secretary of State under. General Pierce, the career of the great states man was n•A less distinguished, although in a diffe rent sphere of action. His management of the en listm..nt question, and his diplomatic controversy with the Earl of Clarendon on Central American affairs, together with the many able State papers which issued from his pen during his four years' -tenure of office, are fresh in the recollection of the - public, and entitled him to the highest rank among the leading men of his time. His firmness, sagacity, strong Conservative tendencies, unswerving pa. - triotism, sterling integlity, and eminent ability as a catesman won him the respect and confidence of all par'ies in his own country, and caused his name to. be universally honoured abroad, while in priva'e I:fe few enjoyed a larger circle of devoted and admiring friends.—New York Journal of Com merce. THE YELL° ►V FAVER IN THE IVEST INDIES. The Royal Mail Company have sent out instruc tions to St. Thomas to alter the coaling arrange ments there, in order, as much as possible, to put a stop to the yellow fever on board the company's ships. The company's arrangements for coaling at St. Thomas are defective. At the Royal Mail Cual Wharf on that island there are nearly 20,000 tons of coal stored. With the heat a deleterious gas escapes from the coals, which is frightfully inju rious to health. Mail steamers come up to St. Thomas with a clean bill of health. In two or three days after coaling yellow fever almost inva riably breaks out during the sickly months. The steamers which run to the windward islands and to Honduras, and which do not come up to St. Thomas to coal, hardly ever get the yellow fever on board. Her Majesty's ship Orion, with 700 souls on board, which is in the West Indies, and which has not coaled at St. Thomas, has not had a single case of fever. The fever does not attack blacks, rarely visits persons who have made many voyages to the West Indies, or passengers. That something con ducive to yellow fever is generated from coal is proved from the fact that firemen and engineers who sleep nearest to the mass of coals on board the West India steamers are the sufferers from the fever. The Royal Mail Company's coal wharf is most injudiicously situated at the foot of a hill, Which scarcely ever feels the sea breeze. The gas generated by the coals is hardly ever blown away, and the crews of the mail packets are therefore in haling it for the two or three days which each large packets takes to coal. The La Plata coaled out side St. Thomas harbour, and the Arato coaled at the wharf, and the latter suffered far more front fever than the former. The crews of the mail packets always say they are poisoned at St. Thomas coal wharf. The steamers Dee and Clyde have suf fered badly frdm yellow fever ; but no mail packet has•ever suffered as much as the Orinoco. After coaling at St; Thomas, the fever broke out on board of her on the 27th ult., and two or three died daily until she left for England. She had up wards of 30 on the sick list when she left. St. Thomas. Complaint has been made that these were not left behind, and it has been thought that the Orinoco ought not to have crime away with a full hospital. It is difficult to say that there was blame. Persons perhaps with only slight symptoms do not like to be left behind. The commander of the ship, who wants every hand, thinks that many who are ill will soon recover, and be of service to him. Captain Sawyer, the cOmmander of the Orinoco, provided as well as he could for emergency. He borrowed all the men be could from the Solent, which is repairina. a t St. Thomas, and started on his voyage ; b e f ore he had concluded it 70 out of his crew, which numbered 106, were struck down with fever and 28 died. The number of passengers was nearly 200. All but one of the engineers were ill, and the first and sixth engineer died. The shifts that all on board were put to were most inconvenient. The stew ardess, a very worthy and respectable woman, pe rished. The surgeon, Mr. Walter, worked like A harse, and it is a marvel that he did not die front fatigue. The Rev. Mr. Ratcliffe, a Jam a i ca cler gyman, who was a passenger on board, rendered great service in cheering the sick, comforting the dying, and performing the last offices for the dead, when they were consigned to the deep. Lieutenant Tickell, the Admiralty agent of the ship, a humane and brave officer, also rendered assistance. Captain Sawyer and his officers set an example of timeli ness. The white saloon waiters all perished, and the officers and passengers dispensed with the black ones, who were sent into the engine department to succeed the dead and dying stokers and firemen ; yet everything possible was done for the comfort of the passengers. The resources of a ship like the Orinoco, and the handiness of all on board, are astonishing. Capital dinners were served up flail): and everything consistent with the solemnities of illness and death was done to keep up the spirits of all on board. The Admiralty agent, Lieut. Ticka, describes the sceneson board as most pathetic. Yon talk one day Zvi h a man who is cheerful and in good health; the next day he is ill, and the day after the funeral service is read over his dead body, and you are carrying home from him a love token to friends who will mourn his death. The dead were enclosed in their hammocks, and in the morning wlien few persons were about the deck, the funeral service was read in a subdued tone, and the corpse was gently dropped in the ocean. The utmost care was taken to prevent too saddening thoughts from pervading the ship. F ear o f tent i mes introduces di-ease. One or two pet sous got hipped, believed they had the fever, and confined themselves to their cabins nearly the whole of the voyage, although they had not the slightest symptoms of disease. The death-bed of a yellow fever patient is oftentimes ar sad and terrible scene, the brain and limbs are pre ternaturally active, the body feels like a burning coal. the express ion of the face is maniacal ; yet, apparently, the final struggle with death is a pain less one. THE MOORS. Accoun!s of the moors, says the Balyishire Jour nal, continue in almost every case favourable. Oil the Knockando hills, in lower Strathspey, the broods are plentiful, but not large, while partridge° promise very well on the low grounds. In Ak)er nethy a great many of the grouse died during the winter, but the remaining birds bred well, and s port would have been good by the 12th of August but fur a flood of rain on the sth June. Coveys, how ever, are not unplentiful, and they are strong, num 13:3ring from seven to twelve. Ou the Darnawal grouse a re strong a nd seven to eight in each Ichmoneovavoeletryrien.wei, hlnumbering ue Morayshire epoiino.tsgss-osfirh. the otiih7e e moors are not quite so grouse shootings ou the encouraging. In Glen-Urquhart many of the birds were barren. The coveys iu consequence are not numerous, and they are later than usual. On the `.Orcmar moors, on Deesde, Aberdeenshire, the birds are numerous and strong. The coveys num ber from eight to ten, and iu tome cases they a re to be found numbering twelve and upwards. They were beginning to take wing by the end of June, and by the 12th of August few cheepers will h° fo'.ind, except on grounds with a northern expo' sure. Not a diseased bird * has been seen on the whole range of hills in this quarter. During the whole seism there has not been a single unfavour able exception in our reports of the prospects of the Deer Forests in the North. In the western glens of Inverness-shire very gratifying accounts are given of the forests. The deer are thriving exceedingly well.
