The delay of a single week, almost of a day, might increase the danger a hundred fold, and induce parties, now hesitating, to commit them selves irreparably on the side of the mutineers. The fate of the Anglo-Indian Empire—the lives of our brethren now quartered in the out stations—may depend on the promptitude and activity displayed within the present week. Much has already been sacrificed on the shrine of " red ' tapism," but more may now be lost by a rigid adherence to routine, then on all previous occa• siona. We have the troops, and we have adequate means of conveying them. The regiments ordered out can be assembled at the ports from whence they are to embark within a very few days, and we have screw steamers, which could be made available within the time. But to do this, all the Admiralty regulations respecting the transport system must be altered. "My Lords" _ . must act in accordance with the spirit of the age and the exigencies of the crisis. Any demand that may be made on the guardians of the na tional purse, will be willingly complied with. Any additional number of seamen will be granted without a moment's hesitation. But there must be no " dawdling," no squandering of valuable time, in considering in what manner our renurces are to be brought into operation. We are told that a steam squadren is to start at once for the Indian Seas. That is a step in the right direction, and, unquestionably, the steamers will prove valuable auxiliaries. But it is lard forces that are chiefly required, and there is no reason why every vessel should not also convey a due proportion of soldiers or of marines. The delay would be very trifling, and the contest must, from its very nature, be fought on land, and at some considerable distance from the sea coast. Lord CANNING has, it appears, very judiciously adopted means to intercept the troops already despatched for China, so that he will the sooner obtain the co-operation of a trained body of men. The magnitude of the emergency fully justifies the step. They are, it appears, to be replaced by Marines, who are peculiarly qualified for a struggle auch as that now taking place in the Celestial E npire. This is also right. But everything depends on our transports, and under the circum stances, we believe that there is not a single officer or sailor in the Royal Navy who would not cheerfully submit to any inconvenience to render their best service to the nation. We fear not that they will discharge their duty l It is the Admi ralty Board that must be kept up to the mark— , hat must be stimulated to exertion. The screw frigates, aye, and the gunboats, can do all that is required, and if the work is not performed, those on whose shoulders the responsibility of the failure must rest, will have a heavy account to render to their injured country. A day of reckoning will surely arrive, and that perhaps more speedily than may be antici pated. We trust that the Muse of Commons will not remain indifferent or apathetic, but that some independent member will ventilate the question in such a manner as to enforce that com pliance with the exigencies of the case which its vast importance so urgently demands. We have long directed attention to this subject, and can safely say that if our suggestions had been acted on the danger would have been greatly dimi nished, if not altogether removed, and we are happy to find that the Leviathan, as on many other points, is gradually but steadily coming round to the views which we have so earnestly advocated. We earnestly entreat attention to an article on the all-important subject of the Currency, which we have extracted from our valued contemporary and collaborateur the Derbyshire Courier, and which will be fiund in another part of this day's Impression. The ponderous efforts of the Times to pooh-pooh the subject, prove beyond the possibility of doubt that all is not going quite so smoothly in com mittee, as Lord OVERSTONE and his disciples desire! We cannot believe that Mr. JAMES WILSON, whose able articles and speeches on the monetary laws, elevated him to the position he now occupies, can succumb to such a man as Sir GEORGE CORNE WALL LEWIS. He cannot retract the opinions he once advocated with such extraordinary power. He has proved beyond the possibility of doubt that the use of twenty millions of one pound notes would be just as useful to the country as the discovery of gold to an equal amount in the centre of England, and cannot so far forget what is duo to his own character and to hi s patriotic feelings, as to vote against bis own con victions for the sake of an office far inferior to that to which he might justly aspire. As the Derbyshire Courier well explains, the 14,000,000/. now nominally issued against secu rities might just as well be issued by the Stat,4, and rendered inconvertible except in payment of taxation. Indeed, more than double the amount would be required to provide for the 1,200,000/. per week required by the demands of the t lector. The 14,000,000/. is universally allowed to be insufficient. It might have answered when our exports amounted to but 51,000,0001. per annum, but it must be inadequate when the same trade has expanded to 120,000,000/. Let us then get twenty or thirty millions of small notes, which would liberate an equal amount of gold, and which, as our contemporary justly observes, would constitute "a basis for our circulating medium, not liable to be exported or withdrawn." As we have repeatedly proved, golf ba hoarded during any national emergency, or s:nt abroad whenever it may suit foreigners to pty a small premium for its use. The Banks of France and of Austria have replenished their own stocks at our expense. They have found it well worth their while to sacrifice a few thousands in order to procure the necessary supplies, while we, by our unwise and iniquitous laws, are prohibited from meeting our competitors with their own weapons. A better feeling is, however, rapidly arising, and the currency reformers are becomieg more united in their views, and more willing to co-operate cordially with each other. This is what is re quired. Minor differences must be forgotten, iu order to concentrate all our forces agaitist the bullionist stronghold. As the Times tells us, and We thank it for the admission—" Currency wizards are to be found at every corner," hard-headed men who will not, and cannot be convinced by the fallacies of the OVERSTONE school. They are assailed in the most sensitive point—the pocket. They find their profits absorbed by the extrava• gant and ruinous rate of discount they are com pelled to pay, and they are not willing to have their substance devoured, and themselves and their families reduced to ruin, to gratify the prejudices and enhance the already overgrown wealth of the moneyocracy. This is the time for exertion. A strong demonstration would now be peculiarly valuable. We are aware of the influences that are in operation to keep men quiet, to prevent them from censuring the craft by which moneylenders live. But it is a man's duty to disregard such influences, and to speak out boldly and intelligibly respecting LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1557 The great—the pressing necessity of the day-- is the rapid conveyance of troops t.) India—to obtain on the spot with the least possible delay disciplined Europeans, on whose fidelity and effic iency implicit reliance may be reposed. The storm may, and doubtless will be weathered, but fearful calamities may be occasioned, and many valuable Aires sacrificed, unless the prevailing disaffection be nipp e d in the bud. With Sir PATRICK GRANT on the spot, and Sir COLIN CAMPBELL speeding to his destination, we may rest in the assurance that every thing which skil ful generalship may devise, will be accomplished. , But the head to direct is useless, without the hand I to execute. Thews and sinews, bone and muscle are also required, and not an hour should be lost THE U LOiNEON, THURSDAY' EVENING, JULY 16, 57 that which his own interests and those of the community at large imperatively require. Lord OVERSTONE wants a purely metallic cur rency. He would risk anything in order to bring abut such a result. He might, however, just as well go back to "barter," and, we believe, that he has declared, not very lung since, that " a state of barter would be preferable to a paper currency." Tt might be so for the wealthy capitalists, but such would not be the case for the industrial population, who, being compelled to furnish their tale of bricks, in the shape of taxation, justly and reasonably demand that they should be provided with the " straw," or, in other words, with a circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country, and which would ensure to every man able and willing to work, that great desideratum " a fair day's wages for a fair day's labour," and enable him to be a creator and producer of national wealth, in place of being an unprofitable and miserable consumer—languishing in compul sory idleness, and seeing his family enduring all the privations produced by the most pinching poverty. For once a resolution has been submitted to the House of Commons, which Lord PALMLRSTON did not feel himself called upon to vote against, to meet by the previous question, or even by pairing off—one which was not " injurious to the public service" or " inconvenient ;" on the contrary, one which, though made by a private member, he could cordially support, and wish the House to pass unanimously—a wish to which he found all parties quite ready to accede. 'Mr. C. BUXTON proposed to address her Majesty, requesting her to use all means in her power to repress the Slave Trade, and to enforce the carrying out of treaties made for that purpose, by the nations which have entered into them. Lord PALMERSTON cordially accepted the motion (it makes no difference whe ther this was pre-arranged or not), assured the House that their decided vote must have great weight with other nations, that it would atrenghthen the hands of her Majesty's Government, and that the House might rely on the Government doing its utmost to carry into effect the objects of the address. For once, then, all were unanimous, and every man in his right place. Mr. BUXTON inherits the place which he took, that of an independent an t ►gonist. of slavery and of the Slave Trade ; Lord PALMERSTON was also in his right place, for not any even of his opponents, will deny him the merit of an earnest, persevering, and, on the whole, successful policy on the question of the ltve trade. The only accusation against him has been that of going too far in the coercion of independent nations, guilty of tolerating or not putting down this accursed traffic. A vary meri• brious offence, as we must think ; and even Mr. NEWDEGATE must also appear in his right place, too, lamenting the abolition of protective duties— a folly, in his view, essentially connected with the revised slave trade, to which enlightened faith we must leave him. We do hail, however, the indication of revived attention to the subject. Even with India and China on his hands, Lord PALMERSTON does not mean to let CHRISTINA, ISABELLA, and the' mer cenary Spanish Government sleep at ease in their guilt. He means this discussion to intimate to that depraved Court, that the British Parliament requires him to do his duty—a duty he is quite willing to perform. The broad fact is undeniable that wa Raid Spain 400,0001. as a consideration for her giving up the traffic, and that the traffic is now ten times worse than it was In 1847 Cuba imported one thousand slaves, but during the last two years she has imported twenty thousand ! and this after a treaty, and after receiving the money ! We cer tainly do not wish to trample on national rights, but we have yet to learn that it is one nation's right to take money of another nation to suppress a hateful traffic, and then 'not merely not to sup press it, but to nurse it to ten times its former magnitude, and even to enrich its Queen mothers and high officials by allowing them to share the spoils. We need feel no scruple whatever in taking the object of our treaty into our own hands, if Spain will not accomplish it. We have one remedy—and America as well as Spain might kick at it if she liked, but it would be in vain, if we were determined to enforce—that is, to declare the slave trade piracy, and to hang at the yard arm at least the captain, and if that were not enough, the crew too, of all the devils in human form who were caught engaged in the infernal trade. This remedy put an end to it under English auspices, and it would doubtless be effec tual with Spaniards, Portuguese, and Yankees t)o. Sir JAMES BROOKE would, in one twelve wooth, put an end to this piracy, as he did to the piracy of the savages. It is unendurable to have the captains and craws of these vessels set at large, and with money intheir pockets! Great Britain has so long and at such heavy sacrifices vindicated for Africans, the rights of human beings, that she is now entitled to deal with their kidnappers as what they really are, as pirates. Manchester was reminded, as we hope she will b 3 from time to time, of her duty on the subj eot of slavery. At present she is the grand foster nurse of slavery. It is her demand for cotton which makes a slave worth from 2001. to 3001. ; and it she who has it in her p)war to create a cotton trade in Africa which shall super ;ede the present demand on Auerica. The article which Manchester cotton spinners want is produced na turally and abundantly in Africa; 1.0,0001b5. of cotton have alrealy been brought thence in a t tte ft - , for the M tuchester market, and nothing is needed but for Mtachester to devise means t 3 encourage the growth of it. We cannot think it would be difficult to devise the means of doing this. Manchester men can be inferior to none in energy ; and already the traffickers in article; in palm oil especially, have created a trade with Africa to the amount of 3,000,0001. annually. Now that India is so unsettl-d, it is surely well worth while for our Cotton Lords to direct their special attention to the cotton of Africa, No Government aid is needed there, The palm oil traders have opened the way, and Manchester has but to follow. The Co,nmitte.o on the Mayo Election have un seated Mr. G. 11. MOORE on the ground that he had by his agents boon guilty of undue influence, and spiritual intimidation, and made a special re port against certain Reverend Gentlemen, who made the sacred altars at which they were offi ciating, the scenes of political denunciation, and strife. This is right so far as it goes. No unprejudiced or disinterested person could peruse the evidence produced, without feeling the imperative necessity for protecting the voter in the exercise of his undoubted rights against sacerlutal domination. The parties specially re ported against have, unquestionably, merited any punishment that may be inflicted on them. But there are other species of tyranny equally obnoxi ous, to the law, and which require to be sum marily suppressed. The alleged justification was that the priestly influence was necessary to over come the landlord influence that if one party abstained from such unfair, illegal, and un constitutional proceedings, the others would di::- play similar moderation. So long, however, as elections are conducted on the present system— so long as the theory advocated by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that the franchise is a trust for the exercise whereof the elector is responsible to the non-voters, such practices must and will prevail. Priests and landlords, employers and customers, will consider themselves entitled to use all the means in their power to control the will of the voter. Not one out of a thousand will fall within the meshes of the law. The mischief will shill go on, and the sacrifice of an occasional vic tim, although it may render others a little more cautious, will neither cure nor materially alleviate the evil. The Ballot offers the only efficient remedy. With that, the man can vote in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, without incurring the risk of temporal or eternal ruin. The land lord cannot eject, the priest refuse absolution, the employer discharge, nor the customer wildraw his patronage. Nor can " the roughs " resort to such gentle persuasion as cudgel or brickbat. The evidence in the Mayo case presents but one phase of the proceedings that have taken place in numerous districts. It unquestionably dis closes a very deplorable state of affairs, requiring a speedy and adequate remedy for the existing grievances ; but the whole subject must be dealt with in an enlarged and comprehen sive spirit. A universal cure is possible. The Ballot will give full protection to the voter, and, while it effectually destroys intimidation of every kind, it will also remove the temptation to bribery, and contribute more than anything that could be devised to the complete purity of election. The only parties who could com plain would be the Parliamentary agents and lawyers, who would lose a fertile source of gain ; but that may be patiently submitted to, in consideration of the vast advantage to the com munity at large.

A deputation for the purpose of presenting a memorial on the subject of African immigration had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday. The deputation consisted of Messrs R. Forster, T. H.

A deputation, c onsisting of the following gentlemen, had also an interview with L ird Palmerston yesterday on the subject of the Red Sea telegraph communication with India, China, R ed Australia, viz. :—Mr. John C. Marsh.oan (chairman), Mr. J. Allan, Sir G. Bonham, Bart., K.C.8., Mr. B. W. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Chas. Fr , :shfield, Mr. S. Grogson, 11 . P., Mr. K. Hodgson, M.P., Geo. Hall, R.N., C B , the Hon. A.

A battery was firing at a mark, and behind a parapet just .helow the mark an officer, Lieutenant Schaffnit, and some men' were stationed to note the result of each discharge. The lieutenant after a while imprudently raised himeeif just above the parapet, and at the same moment a cannon was fired, and the ball carried off his head, MISS MADELEINE SMITH.—The Glasgow Courier states that elrs. Smith is in a very critical condition, and is rapidly sinking under the calamity which has been brought upon that family by the unfortunate daughter. MADELEINE SMITH AND THE USE of ARSENIC AS A COSMETIC. —The Edinburgh. Courant says :—We have been favoured with the following _eAract.from a _private letter from London, for the authenticity of which we can_ vouch, although for obvious reasons the communication is strictly confidential —" I haveseveral times used arsenic dissolved in water to wash my face when I have had freckles from getting in the sun ; and very often my hands to gets stalls off, and make them look white. I have always thought it a common thing, and was surprised to bear there was any danger in doing it." And the Kelso Chronicle observes that "it can be proved by many a seepherd on the green hill-sides of Scotland, that arsenie dissolved in water can be used with impunity. Each autumn at the sheep-dipping period a solution of arsenic, with other ingredients, is prepared so strongly poisonous that a few drops lapped by a dog, or falling into the mouth of a sheep, will produce speedy death. Yet in this mixture the ban and to some extent the legs, of the shepherds are steeped for ustweeks together." We feel it to be a matter of mere jice to give publicity te thee() statement*, but we must obeerve that it would be a great inis'ake to suppose that they at all encourage the practice in question. THE VERDICT IN MISS SMITH'S TRIAL —lt will be in teresting to our readers and the public to learn the numbers by which the jury came to a decision. Atter deliberating there were five for a verdict of "Guilty" and ten for one of ‘• Not proven." On the question of an absolute acquittal there was no diversity of sentiment whatever.— Caledonian Mercury. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM AWKWARD DRlVlNG.—Yes terday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest at the Stug's Aries, Hougbtoe-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, upo a child named Sarah Jane Langley. A police. constable deposed that on Saturday night, between ten and eleven, in Chtgwell-street, F in sbury•Fgeare, he saw a man driving a chaise-catt with a female in it and the child in her arms. A four-wheel cab was coming in the opposite direction. Both vehicles were ,on the proper side, and there was room between them for a waggon, but when the chaise-oart arrived nearly opposite the cab, the driver turned the head of the horse and went direct across the road to the cab. The vehicles then coming in violent collision, the man, woman, and child, were pitched into the road. James Etridge, the can-driver, and an eye.witness of the whole transaction, named Isaac Garcia, corroborated the constable's evi dence as to the careless driving of the father. Mr. C. W e Roberts proved that the deceased died several hours att,r the accident from a fracture of the skull. The jury 'returned au open verdict—" That the deceased's death was cause 1 by a fracture of the skull, caused by being brawn trim a chaise cart driven by her father." LATEST NEWs. THE CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE. " The French police," says a Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels, continue to display the greatest activity in their researches after all the Italians suspected of having taken part in the late plot. As the first act of the conspiracy was to have been an attack on the life of the Emperor, the French Government have a particular interest in searching for and seizing on all the ramifi cations of this revolutionary attempt. About thirty Italians have been already arrested at Marseilles, and on the frontiers of the Var, of the Jura, and of Switzerland. At the time of the arrest of Bonaldi and Liprandi in Paris, not long since, the police discovered the cipher by the aid of which they cor responded with Mazzini, and, thanks to that dis covery, the French Government was able to follow, day by day, the march of the conspiracy which broke out at Genoa, at Leghorn, and in the Neapo litan States, and it is said that the Sardinian police seized at Genoa the special instructions of Mazzini relative to the Emperor of the French. A copy of these instructions has been sent to his Majesty at Plombieres. The greatest publicity will be given to the trials which are to take place in consequence of these arrests, in order that the disclosures made may serve as a warning and an instruction to the whole of Europe." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. It is said that General Macniahon is to be pro moted to the rank of Marshal of France, on the oc casion of the Emperor's fete, the 15th August. The news of the hArvest from nearly all quarte.s of France is most cheering. In some the reaping is over, and in other places, where the corn is not yet ripe for the sickle, the heat, which in. Paris, at least, is intense, will soon bring it to maturity. Letters from Burtiu, in Corsica;, of the 13th, men tion that in some parts of tie island the yield of grain is superabundant, and good throughout the entire. The price of wheat, .which had been high, has fallen 20f. the hectolitre. In the Calvados wheat has fallen 3f. the hectolitre. Th 3 price of fat oxen has also declined. The date of Queen Victoria's visit is not fixed, nor has it been officially made known as yet. Should it take place, htr Majesty will probably be re 'eived at, COmpiegne instead of Fontainebleau. The Moniteur of to-day contains the revenue tables of the Minister of Finance, ft.r 1857, with the onnparative receipts of the first three months of 1855 and 1856. From these it appears that the produce of indirect taxes for the first quarter of 1857 is-526,017,000f. against 499,732,000 f. in 1856, and 442,962,000 f. in 1855 ; showing an increase of 83,055,000 f. over last year, and 29,285,000 f. as co npared with 1855. The officisl journal then gives a table of monthly receipts of t axes and indirect imposts, for the second quarters of 1855, 1856, and 1857, compared with the corresponding mon►hs of two previous ye irs. From this we gather that the monthly in crease of 1857 over 1856 was—in April 2,895,0001., in May 5,449,000 f., i❑ June 3,739,000 f. As against 1855 the increase was—in April 13,510,000 f., in May 12,677,000 f., in June 11,581,000 f. Of direct taxes in the fist quarter of 1857! we have 14,950,000 f, received. The total revenue from in direct taxes of the second quarter of 1857 is, as before stated, 526,017,000 f. " Count de Morny," says a Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels, is, it appears, decidedly not to return to Russia, and it is considered highly probable that the Duke de Grammont, Minister at Turin, will be appointed to St. Petersburg." We learn from Algiers that a further number of 40 hostages given by the Kabyle tribes have arrived at the Fort of Bab-Azoun. They were escorted by a detachment of chasseurs, and appeare I perfectly resigned to their fate. Some others still remain at Tizi-Onzou, who will be shortly sent to rejoin their countrymen at the same fort. The Prince of Syracuse, says a Paris dispatch, has been in that capital in strict incognito. The state of M. Beranger was so much worse yes terday as to remove all hope of his recovery. The heat yesterday was - exceedingly oppressive in Paris. At six o'clock in the morning, M. Che vallier's thermometer marked 19 6-10ths Centi grede (67 1-3 d Fahrenheit) ; at noon, 28 8-10ths Cent. 831 F.) ; and at two o'clock, 30 8-10ths C. (874- F.).

"The National Council of Switzerland," says a letter from Berne of the 9th, " commenced to-day the consideration of the conduct of affairs by the Federal Council durinc , the year 1856. The principal di scussion took' place on the episcopal difference of Ticino, the deputies being desirous of severing the bonds which connect that canton for ecclesiastical matters with the bishoprics of Como and Milan. M. For nerod, President of the Federal Council, showed that the course of negotiations did not depend solely on the Federal Council, but that body, he cleclAred, was endeavouring to so conduct them as to lead to a result favourable to the honour of Switzerland. Tile assembly afterwards was occupied with various propositions, one of which tended to accord to the Federal Council the absolute right of regulating everything concerning the permission to reside in the cantons. MM. Furrer, Martin and Blanche nay demonstrated in the clearest manner that the proposition could not be acceded to, as it was quite at variance with the cantonal sovereignty. ITALY. Colonel Pisacane, the leader of the late insurrec tion in Calabria, was admitted into the Foreign Legion in Algeria at the recommendation of the Dike de Montebello, at that time French Ambas sador at Naples. His appointment was signed by General Trezel, Minister of War. He entered as Secopd Lieutenant, rose to the rank of Lieutenant, and resigned in the year 1848. His resignation was accepted by M. Arago, Minister of War ad interim, of the French Republic. He distinguished himself at the Melitary School of Naples, and held the rank of Lieutenant of Engineers in the Neapo litan army. Genekal Melliner, who now commands a division of the Imperial Guard, was .Colonel of .the Foreign Legion when Pisacane entered. SPAIN. MADRID, July 14.—The Royal authorisation to enforce the new law on the press has been published. The Senate .has adopted by 64 votes to 17 the bill for authorising the government to carry into effect the bill on the press. In consequence of the numerous arrests made in Madrid tLe prisons were so full that the breaking out of maladies was appre hended. Most of these persons had been arrested on the pretext of being vagabonds, and yet amongst them were many in good circumstances, some even who paid as much as 2,000 reals in taxes. At Malaga numerous arrests of persons notedifor the violence of their political opinions continue to be made. A letter from Cettinguen, in the Agram Gazette, gives some details of the late executions in Monte negro. It appears that on the evening of the 26th ult. ten agents of Prince Danilo made their appear ante in the village of Bercelli, and seizing on the pope Gjuro Popovic and his eldest son, shot them on the market-place, and then hanged their bodies to a gibbet. Tue crime of . these unhappy men is not stated. A St. Petersburg letter sari that the Emperor of Russia has conferred the Grand Crosse of the older of Ste. Anne on General Rain, adjutant general of the palace to the Emperor Napoleon, and on . Vice-Admiral Trehouart, commander of the fleet at Toulon ; and the Grand. Cross of St. Stan islas on Rear-Admiral Claveau, of the French navy, and on Baron Hausmann, prefect of the Seine. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH NEW YORK.—SouTH- AmPToi, Wed nesday.—The steamship Aritl (Vat der hilt line), Captain Ludlow, Lit Uavre and Cowes to-day with the French and English wails, passengers, and cargo for New York ; and the United States' steam ship Washiogton, Captain Cavendy, also sailed hence this afternoon, with passengers and freight, for the same destination; SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 15. The Royal Mail Company's ate yin ship Mt dwav, Capt. J. G. Parker, arrived at 6 p.m. today, with Brazilian and River Plate mails, in charge of Lieutenant Payne, R.N., Admiralty fry,erA. Her dates are—Buenos Ayrs, June 2 ; Mont Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 14 ; Bahia, 19 ; Pernawbue ), 22 ; St. Vincent (Cape Verdes), July 1 ; Teneriffe, 6 ; Madeira, 8 ; Lisbon, 11. She lauded 65 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 116 to Soul hampton. On freight she has speeie from Teneriffe value 6001 , diamonds value 70,3001.; and a cargo consisting of 230 barrels of tapioca, 551 bags of cocoa, 779 bags of coffee, 217 bales of tobacco, and 73 bales of cochineal. _ _ The Anglo-Brazilian Bank was the object of great attention on the part of the Imperial Government. Several proposals had been made by other partie s. The Anglo-Brazilian Bank was started by Mr. G. S. Brandon, supported by influential persons in London, who have guaranteed the capital to the Government, and it is said that the charter will be obtained this month, capital one million, with power to increase, to issue th( it own notes. The money market had been very tight ; discounts at 12 per cent., and no gold in the market. The bank proposed to supply the deficiency. From Rio there is nothing new in politic , . The new tariff would come into operation on Ist July. The Government, it was understood, were dispestd to make some modifications in it, but no one knew what they would be. The coffee market reopened on the 9th ult., at a decline of 103 reis to 200 reis as compared with rates quoted on the 13th May. About 101,000 bags had subsequently been sold ; in all 145,000 bags since the last steamer, of which 69,000 were for the United States, 71,000 ter the Channel and North of Europe, and 5,000 for the Mediterranean. Sugar, white, was quoted at 4 800 to 5.400 ; and brown, 3.600 to 4 000. Hides were wanting ; only 960 very ordinary ones in stock. Exchange on London ruled at 27d. to 28d., the bulk of the business having been done at the former rate ; Hamburg, 650 • Pad., 343 to 345. Discount continued without alteration. Freight remained dull, and the few charters effected were, at 355. for the Elbe, 355. to 455. for tle Channel, and 50c. to 70c. for the Uni;ed States. _ _ _ From the Bahia Price Current of the 18th of June we learn that in imp ,rt *articles no transac tions of importance had taken place. Of codfish there were no arrivals, and stocks were rapidly diminishing, amounting only to about 300 barrels. In export articles great dullness prevailed in the beginning of the week, owing to the expected arrival of the Petropolis steamer ; wi h the excep tion of a sale of leaf tobacco, which was said to have been effected at 5.500 per arroba for closed leaf se conds, and 6.500 for firsts, no transactions of im portance were effected. After the steamer's arrival the sugar-market again partly regained its former activity, and considerable lists of whites changed hands at 4600 per arroba. Cotton and coffee continued negle3ted, and prices of hides and rum remained unaltered. In other articles no alteration. In freights a vessel was ch tr tred for the Channel at 455. per ton. Exchange transactions have been effected at 28d. 90 days' sight, and 27fd. 60 days. Our correspondent at Pernambuco writes on Juue 22 as follows: — Our sugar market continues active, and in spite of the heavy rains entries have been fair--since the Ist of the month 25.000 bag- , . We estimate the stocks for sale and shipment at 80.000 bags. After the Medway's arrival an advance in the price of Muscovados took place of 500 to 600 rein per arr.; and on the arrival of the Petropolis a further rise took place. We quote Channels 3,800 per ar., or 364. ld. per cwt.; selected, 4,200 r. per arr., or 395. 6d. per c ovt.; whites, 4.400 r. to 5.400 r. per arr., or 41s. 11d. to 504. 64. per cwt. f.0.b., ex freight.

At Monte Video her Majesty's ships the Virago and the Wa..p. At Rio the Madagascar, the Plumper, the Harrier, the Siren, and the Spy ; the American frigate St. Lawrence, the French frigate Pursuivante, and the steamer Tenare ; the Russian transport Dwina, ; and the Anterican stereship Supply. At St. Vincent's, her Majesty's ship the Volcano, the steam trausport Mauri tius, with the 931 Regiment, and the screw steamer Eineu, for Australia. July 8, off Madeira, her Majesty's ship the Melville, with troops for China, stoE ped to land a passenger and proceoded immediately. "The screw steamer Petropolis, from Southampton, arrived at Bahia on the 17th June, and sailed on the 18th for Rio. The Sardinian steamer Genoa sailed from Rio on the 9th of June, and arrived at Teneriffe on the 3d of July.: "The British ship Sobraon, Richard Hall, master, from Caldeira, bound for Liverpool, with copper ore, sprung a leak on the lltb inst., in lat. 18 . 8, long. 28 . 5 W., which increased so rapidly that it was - necessary to abandon the vessel. The crew were taken off by the British barque Lord Elgin, then in company, and shortly afterwards the Sobraon went down. On the 16th, 30 miles off Pernambucl, the long boat of the Lord Elgin was sent off with 10 men of the late Sobraon, and the barque proceeded on her voyage towards Cork with the master and the first and second mates. The boat reached Pernambuco on the morning of the 17th inst., having been at sea the whole night. On the homeward voyage the Medway spoke the fol lowing vessels :—June 24, in lat. 2'23 S., long 32 W., the American barque Herat, standing south ; 27th, in lat. 7•30 N., long. 28 36 W., he Royal Mai steamer Avon, all well ; July 12. h, at 11 a.m., the R.iyal Mail steamer Tamar ; 11th, at 5 p.m., the English steamer Dom Alfonso, going into Lisbon.

It is announced, " on authority," that Lord J. Browne, brother of the Marquis of Sligo, intends to offer himself as a candidate for the county of Mayo. Although a Liberal in politics, it is more than probable that his lordship will receive the un divided support of the Conservative interest, through whose agency Capt. Palmer was enabled to become the senior member and colleague of Mr. G. H. Moore. The wan for Galway vice O'Fla betty, cashiered, is not yet forthcoming ; but doubtless Colonel French, the veteran young I►e- larder, will again take the field. Mr. Justice Perrin has given permission to the Crown Solicitor to prepare bills of indictment against the Mayor of Sligo, two of his deputies, and two poll-clerks, for a conspiracy to procure the undue return for the borough of Mr. John Patrick Somers. THE GREAT COLCLOCTGH WILL CASE. The proceedings of this extraordioa! y case have been brought to a close in a way satisfrctory to both parties. At the close of Mr. Whiteside's speech yesterday a compromise was entered into. The following is an outline of the terms :—Mrs. Boyse gets the money lodged in c onrt;amoun'ing to upward s of 20,0001., and her jointure. Mrs. Rostborough Col elough gets Tintern Abbey and the estates, valued at 8,009/. 'a -year. THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE. At balf-past 3 o'clock this afternoon James Spol len wft brought up at Capel-street Police-office, and, the new informations having been read over, he was formally committed to take his trial for the wilful murder of Mr. George Samuel Little. The prisoner, on being asked the usual question, whether be bad anything to say, replied that he would reserve his defence for another tribunal. MEETING OF COAL-WHIPPERS.--Last evening a crowded meeting of the coal-whippers of the port cf Lonehn was held in the school-rooms, Johnson-street, Back-road, St. George's-in-the-Best, in consequence of the assertions made in evidence before the select com mittee of the House of Lurds, now sitting on an inquiry into the state of the coal-whippers in Loridor. Mr. Thomas Flinn was celled to the chair. He ref. r •ed to the late order, that no man should be employed from publicans, and stated that no more than one-half %sere engaged from the Coal-whippers' Office. He had a document put into his hand, showing that in a case where a large number of men were employed the average earn ings were lls. 5.1. a week. Seversl speakers addressed the meeting, and a resolution was adopted pledging the meeting to exert itself to remedy the condition of the body. WAAGEN'S CHRONOL OGICA L EPIDEMIC.—." In the Royal Berlin-Museum they have endeavoured to arrange the pictures in chronological order, which can nowhere be obtained, however, in perfection —certainly not here, with the scanty means at our disposal. The division of the pictures into schocls neither improves the student nor gives a clear view of the rr-e and fall of art, nor does it leave an instructive or agreeable impression. This " chron , logical epidemic" has produced great and ridiculous blunders.

A court was held to-day for the despatch of public FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Mr. J. ANDERTON moved the following resolution : " That the Freedom of this City be presented to his Royal Highness the Du' , e of Cambridge, the cousin of our beloved Queen, and Commander•in Chief of her Majesty's Forces, as a testimony of the attachment to the Queen and Royal Family of the citizens of London represented by this court, as a grateful recognition of the support his Royal Highness has given to the vari ous public charities of the metropolis ; of the un daunted valour displayed by him in the late war in the Crimea ; and of the judicial energy and success with which he has conducted the military affairs of the empire since he has accepted the high and re sponsible oflicu of Commander-in-Chief of the British army. That the freedom be presented with a sword, or some other testimonial, of the value of two hundred guineas." The resolution having been seconded, was carried unanimously.

IN RE THE WELSH POTOSI, SILVER, LEAD, AND COPPER COMPANY. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition in this matter for winding up the affairs of this company in Bankruptcy. Mr. Bagley appeared for the petitioning creditor ; Mr. Roxburgh to oppose on behalf of shareholders; and Mr. Aqland to represent creditors. After a long discussion it was arranged that the peti, tion should stand over till the 25th inst. ; the meeting to be advertised in the Gazette, &c., in the meaatime. Mr. RcxbuTgh then applied to his Honour for an order, by way of injunction, to prevent creditors from suing individual shareholders. Mr. Lyon, one of his clients, had been served with no less than 19 writs, and other sloareLoliers were similarly harrassed. Mr. As' land, for the creditors suing, briefly opposed the application ; and ultimately the Commissioner said that he did ❑ot think he had power to make an order to`: deprive creditors of their legal rights, and therefore' he would not interfere in the matter. IN RE 11. J. CAMERON. To- lay was appointed for the choice of assignees in this case. The plantiff was described R 9 of Hyde-park Gardens, &c. Messrs:. Linklater and Hackwood and Mr C'nidley are the j int solicitors to the petition ; but, o,,ing to the pressure of antecedent business, the choice will not take place till late in the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. INCITING YOUNG CHILDREN TO STEAL. Joseph Collins, a costeraionger, was charged before Mr. Bing ham, in conjunction with a boy named Henry Crosv, aged 12 years, with stealing a quantity of boots, &c. It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday night lase, Collins was in Windmill-street and met the prisoner Cross (whose father is a workman in the em ployment of Mr, Rose, boot and shoemaker in the Bur lington Arcade) and asked him if he had any boots. Cross replied that he had, and gave him three pairs, which were subsequently pawned. Last night the pri soners again met, when Cross gave Collins four more pairs of boots. Cross gave Collins a pawnbroker's tioket and received a shilling from him. John Davy, aged 11 years, living in Hopkin's-street, proved having seen Cross come out of the shop of Mr. ROFe on Saturday with some boots. He was with the prisoner when Cross gave Collins the boots. In answer to Mr. Bingham, Davy said he only became acquainted with Collins on Saturday last. Mr. Rose said that the father of Cross worked for him, an i that he had lost a great many boots. Witness was not able to say what was the quantity of boots he has lost, but he should say from 201. to 301. worth were missing. Police-constable C 145, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that he could produce the pawnbroker at whose shop Collins had pledged some of the articles. Mr. Tate, Cambridge-street, an assistant at Mr. Aldous, identified the prisoner Collins as having pawned some of the goods at their shop. Mr. Bingham directed the depositions to be taken against the prisoners, for the purpose of their committal for trial. THE ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY OF COPP.E.R WIE GS Professor W. Thomson, in measuring the resist ances of wires manufactured for submarine tele-' graphs, was surprised to find differences betweea different specimens so great as most materially to effect their value in the electrical operations for wbich they are designed. It seemed at first that the process of twisting into wire rope and covering with gutta percha must be looked to to find the expla" nation of these differences. After, however, a dare' ful examination of copper wire strands some covered,, some uncovered, some varnished with india-rubber, and some oxydised by ignition in a hot flame, it Was, ascertained that none of these circurnAtances - pro -, duced any sensible influence on the whole Il', sistauce, and that while there is some , degree a constancy in the quality of wire supplied from the same manufactory, there is vast superioriti in the produce of some manufactories over that of ,others. A submarine telegraph con; strutted with copper wire of one manufactory of only 1-21 of an inch diameter, covered with gutta` percha to a diame. er of a quarter of an inch, wOl llO with the same electrical power, and the . same in' strumeuts, do more telegraphic work than one en° - structed with copper wire of another manufactory, of 1-18 of an inch diameter covered with gutta poi; cha to a diameter of a third of an inch. WWI is the cause of these differences in electrica l quality is a question of much practical jol: portance and high scientific interest. The result of experiment shows that the greate st ' degree of brittleness producible by tension • does not alter the conductivity of the metal by s s much as one half per cent. A similar experirneO, showel no mote sensible effect on the conducti vity of copper wire to be produced by hammering flat. There are no doubt slight effects on the colr ductivity of metals produced by 'every application , and by the altered condition left atter the with' drawal of excessive stress ; but these are found 4 be in aril cases so minute that the present results 0 to copper .dire are only what are to be expected.!
