It was originally intended that the debat•3 should take place ou Friday next, but it was con sidered very desirable to await the intelligence "by the mail which may be expected at the latter end of next week. There will of course be a stringent Inquiry into the causes of the very untoward events:which have so recently occurred, and that should take place at the earliest possible momen!.. But it should by no means interfere with the prompt and vigorous action which is indispensable under existing circumstances. The primary duty is to crush the mutiny, to suppress with the strong arm, the insubordination displayed l 4 tht Sepoy troops. Then follows the punishment of the mutineers, which must necessarily be severe, rime empeoially against those who have imbrued I -- ,--- ,ezir hands in the blood of helpless women and in— nocent children. Of course justice will be tempered with mercy, and every reasonable plea for the remission or mitigation of the merited penalty will be carefully considered, and the full beneffi given for every doubt or extenuating circumstance. Subsequently, when the majesty of the law, and the prestige belonging to the British name, have beep fully and completely vindicated, every just complaint will be thoroughly investigated, and, if practicable, redressed. It must, however, be obvious, that nothing could possibly justify the course adopted by the disaffected Sepoys. If religious scruples were out raged, proper remonstrances would have received immediate attention. And it should be proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that such remon strances had been made, and been contumeliously rejected. We believe, however, that the "hogs lard and cartridge" questions were only specious pretexts to obtain the cooperation of a few fanatics ; and possibly b excite some of the neigh bouring Princes, who might be glad of a plausible excuse for casting off the British supremacy. The real grounds of the outbreak were far more deeply seated, but there is no reason to suppose that they may not be traced to their fountain and origin, and may not be fully and completely removed. It is more than probable that Muscovite machina tions may be at the bottom of all, and that so far from British interests having been injured by the prompt and ,energetic action adopted, with refer ence to Persiq i it may have been that which in sured the safety of our Eastern dominions. Strictly speaking, there is no war in India at: this moment ; but what has taken place is far worse than any that could arise. We have trained and disciplined, and armed, a powerful body of natives. They possess sufficient force to repel any external aggression, but when many of them have suffered their loyalty to be sapped, when they are ready to desert their colours and turn their treasonable weapons against those by whom they were supplied—that indeed is truly formidable, and neither honour nor glory can be acquired in the contest. It is the " Civil commotion with its vip'rons tooth That gnaws the bowels of the caurnon weal." It was in reference to a similar emergency that the pertinent interrogatory was asked, " Q u i s custodiet ipsos custodes ?' Our guardians being treacherous, there can be no permanent safety save in putting down the disturbance, and eradi cating the noxious seeds from whence it sprung. Last night two thousand additional sailors for the Royal Navy, as well as money votes for their wages, provisions, stores, arc., were sanc tioned by the House. 500,0001. was also voted towards liquidating the moiety of the expenses of the Persian war, which had been advanced by the East India Company. In addition to these and to a sum of 400,0001. for the Chinese expedition, and the redemption of the Sound dues—it appeared that there would still be a surplus of 650,00 W. in the Exchequer, inasmuch as Sir G. C. LEWIS had miscalculated to the extent of 2,860,0001., and had supplemental demands for 2,210,0001., only. Under such circumstances, we regret that 5,000 additional seamen, and an extra land force were not de manded. Economy is very proper, but it must be at the right time, and in the right place, and we believe that nothing can be more injudicious, under existing circumstances, than a penny wise and pound foolish policy. India must be saved, and any deficiency of exertion in the first instance may lead to a tenfold expenditure, and what is of infinitely greater consequence, the destruction of a number of English subjects, whose lives should not be hazarded for any petty savings, or cheese paring economy. Perfididious Albion ! Can nothing stretch the British Channel to the width of the Atlantic, and contract the Atlantic to the dimensions cf the British Channel ? Great Britain and her daugh ter would then soon be linked in closest ties, and European despots would sleep in peace. England and her free press, formidable, although in the language least known in civilised Europe ; London and itsvast " Dismal Swamps," where the Dreds of the oppressed population abide in safety, and where they send forth their disquieting oracles, would cease to trouble the oppressors. The ty rants' millenium would have arrived, and the Eagles, and the Bears, and the Gallic Cock, and all the hydras and griffins, and chimeras dire of Continental Heraldry would lie down together. ALEXANDER and NAPOLEON would embrace each other with tears of fraternal sympathy ; FRANCIS JOSEPH and BOMBA. would kiss each other, and his too happy Holiness would pronounce the apostolic benediction. What an ungainly old world it is, when the Freest Power on Earth, instead of lying in close proximity tot he great and kindred Trans atlantic nation, is obliged to jostle every day with the enslaved and their mien ! We have, to be sure, been a stepping stone, more than once, by which tyrants have mounted their thrones. Not to speak of the list long war, such was the temper of the Great Northern Despot, that Louis PRILLIPPE and Louis NAPO LEON both owe it to England that they ascended securely to the elevation they successively attained. By the grace of England, Europe took the shape she assumed in 1815 ; and we have done much more for absolutism than fur liberty ever since ; and yet we are a very MORDECAI to the HAMANS, and they would hang us if they could. Collet WALEWSKI dares not, indeed, snub us as ho does Belgium, orSardinia. He sets therefore his chained and, perhaps, duly remunerated editors to writ' at us. Now the Moniteur, now the Pays, takes England to task ; now the pens of our journalists, now. the Police of LAidon, or the Legislature, whose 'acts the police enforce, come in - for a warning. Abundantly amusing this to us Eng lishmen, " skulking," as a greater NAPOLE)N once said, " behind our dirty Channel." Resent it we cannot, but we must be allowed to laugh. Amend ment is, we fear, very distant. England will write still, just as she pleases about France, and is perfectly willing that France should return the compliment. In like manner all the " refugees" from despotism will assuredly be protected here while we have a ship ora soldier; we shall not allow them indeed - 0 get arms, ammunition, live eagles, &c., and put them on board a steamer for Bou -I,gne, if we know it ; but even if they have been unlucky iu such jobs, and get back again fifty times, they wilt, as of old, be welcome here to all the accommodation they can pay for. We will never be refugee catchers. We cannot, indeed, wonder that Louis NAPO LEON feels very awkward just now. It is asto nishing., the more we think of it, what a marvel lous change the late elections have caused in his no one e sec s u o n o d d as, alo n n o t position. Before, he t oue in France ; along—the e p : 1 7:u a s n , hardly ; no one competitor, certainly. Now, he stands but one of two. Like Lord PALMERSTON, lie is iit 'IOW ; but CAVAIGNAC, like Lord DERBY, may again be in, in due time. Till the late elec tion there was no sign of this. Europe had no idea that the honest, manly, and able CAVAIGNAC, the E3IPEROR'S old competitor, was again to be his competitor ; and this time to beat him —to beat him, too, in Pali; it6elf, in the mato of all French , oups d'etat ; in the scene of the bloody coup d'etat ;he 2d of December. The staggering, the unwelcome fact is, we re peat, that the EMPEROR is really beaten by an old tnd formerly unsuccessful rival. Lours NAPO LEON put forth all his strength to keep out CATAIGNAC, CAVAIGNAC did not put forth all his to get in, yet CAVAIGNAC was conqueror. Louis NAPOLEON made the conflict personal, and Louis NAPOLEON is personally worsted. Had he and ais instruments made no stir at all ; had they, vithout saying a word, let Paris take its own , 3ourse, virtual defeat might have been unpleasant, but the victory of CAVAIGNIC would have been comparatively unimportant. It was just because LOUIS NAPOLEON made a political Crimea of Paris, and concentrated his grand efforts for Im oerial defence there, that his defeat has com pletely changed his position. Till the election it was only "the EMPEROR ; " now it is, "Louis NAPOLEON and CAYAIGNAC." His organs proclaim, indeed, his five million of votes against the thousands of opposition votes. But how well do they know that, even counting leads, their master is this time but the elect of ire instead of eight millions . Numerically, his position is lowered snore than one third, almost half ; practically he is lowered much more. Com pared with Parisian votes, those of the illiterate, priest-ridden peasantry, are but musketry, and hardly that-, against artillery. The provinces fol low Paris, not Paris the province=. All Europe knows what is doing in Paris, all Europe acknow ledges its intelligence, but what knows Europe of all the rest of a ♦ast country without one such town as Manchester or Liverpool, Edinburgh or Dublin ? It will be much easier for the " in structed" press of Paris to drop the whole ques tion of their master's position ; certainly t 3 show no fear of the plots of a few maltreated refugees. We all know what their professed alarm, aid their lectures to England mean. The shopkeepers and frequenters of the Bourse must be frightened with the cry of danger, when there is none. Bat. if there really be any, what bubble monarchs must those be whose Empire can be jeopardised in the garrets of London. How little should we care about English refugees hatching mischief in Paris. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and the Liberal Members who met on Thursday at the King's Arms Hotel, must already be convinced of the impolicy of the attempted compromise. The manner in which his proposition was received, the factious opposi tion against it, testified by the repeated motions for adjournment to which he was ultimately obliged to yield, must have satisfied him that there is no possibility of carrying the pro posed measure within the present session, " the days whereof are numbered !" The question cannot, under any circumstances, receive fair consideration ! A variety of pretexts will be found for its postponement. Let them then at once abandon the useless attempt at conciliation, and, as we more than hinted, " advise Baron ROTHSCHILD to came to the table of the House, claim his right, and so take his seat as one of the representatives of the City of London ! " It may be said that the Baron would become liable to certain penalties by adopting such a course. We believe, however, that the House could so far vindicate its own privileges as to pre vent any person, however vindictive, from reck lessly engaging in a collision, in which he must necessarily be worsted. It is true that these privileges have too often been invaded with i impunity, and. that the same manly spirit and unflinching determination that diotated the resolutions adopted more than a century and a half since, in con39quence of the proceed ings in " ASHBY v. WHITE," has not always been displayed. But when the popular branch of the Legislature is thoroughly aroused, we believe the ancient spirit will again be manifested, and that they will be prepared again to affirm— " That whoever shall presume t) commence or prosecute any action, indictment, or information which shall bring the right of the electors, or per sons elected to serve in Parliament, to the deter- , mination of any other jurisdiction than that of the House of Commons (except in cases specially pro vided for by Act of Parliament), such person or persons, and all attorneys, solicitors, counsellors, and sergeants at law soliciting, prosecuting, or pleading in any such case shall be deemed guilty of a high breach of the privilege of this House." There can be no question that the House is and ought to be, the sole judge of its own privileges, the sole expounder of the law, so far as these pri vileges are conerned. The Lords put forward, aye and manfully asserted a similar claim, in re ference to Lord WENSLEYDALE and it WAS unequi vocally conceded. Why should not the Commons manifest equal independence ? Why should they once more truckle to those who contumoliou , dy rejected the applications put forward by large ma jorities in four successive Parliaments? It would be derogatory to their honour to do so, and mate terially lessen the weight that their policy would possess, when matters were driven, as they will be, to the last extremity. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE well remarked that the ques tion has pot as yet been finally brought under the consideration of the present Parliament. Baron ROTHSCHILD has never, since his last election, tendered himself at the table for the purpose of taking the oaths "in the manner most binding on his conscience." When he has done so, and been rejected, it will be time enough to take the next step. He may be perfectly certain that if admitted by the House, he will receive ample protection. He need not dread the conse quences when that sevenfold shield is spread. be fore him. The case of Alderman SALOMONS was essentially different. His claim was denied, and the action against him was for sitting and voting without having taken the oaths, by which certain penalties were incurred. We should like to see the man who would dare to put forward a claim, the attorney who would conduct the suit, or the court that would entertain it in the face of an express resolution of the House of Commons, that the defendant was entitled to take his seat. As the Member for Finsbury declared, the citizens of London ought to have on the journals of the House a record of the grievance of which they may justly complain, for they have sustained a serious injury, in common with their chosen representative. They have virtually be( ia partially disfranchised since the commencement of the session, and. yet there is no official declaration of the wrong. That mistake should be remedied, and it can only be so by the appli cation of Baron ROTHSCIIILD to take the oaths. There need be but little delay for that purpose. The step may be taken at the sitting of the House on Monday. The Honourable Member is of course in the hands of his friends, and has acted in obedience to their sugges tions. But the time has arrived when bolder counsels uhoull prevail. Lord PALMERSTON has exprf.sssly declared that he cannot give up a Go v er nment day for the discussion of the subject. It is, therefore, clear, that Lord JOHN RUSSE as bill cannot be carried in sufficient time t ent it a rea,sonable chance of raoiug ever! the _FEE SUN, LONDON, SATU V - 1 DAY EVENING, JULY 18,' 1857 House of Commons, - to say nothing of the Lords. Why then delay that which sooner or later must be attempted, for a vacillating course, that cab only weaken the position, and render the proceed ing more amenable to adverse criticism ? The question has not been ventilated during the pre sent Parliament, and the sooner that objection be removed the better for all pArties concerned. COURT CIRCULAR. ROYAL PAVILION, ALDERSHOT CAMP, FRIDAY, July 17. TLe Queen arrived at the Pavilion yesterday, soon after six o'clock. Lieut.-General Knollys, Major-General the Hon. Sir J. Scarlett, Major-General Lord William Paulet, Major-General the Hon. A. Spencer, and Col. Warde, Royal Artillery, had the honour of being invited to dinner. Her Majesty left the P,►vilioa at ten o'clock th'e morning, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Prin cess Alice, in an open carriage and four, and was present at a field•day. The Prince Consort and Prince Alfred went on bone back. THE QUEEN OF THE NgTifERLANDS. This day the Queen visited Westminster Abbey, and afterwarJs went to the Crystal Palace at Sydenharn. In the evening her Majesty will honour the Royal Italian Opera at the Lyceum Theatre with her presence. To-morrow the Queen will attend Divine service at the chapel of the Netherlands Legation, in Austinfriars. On Monday the Viscountess Palmerston will give a grand ball to her Majesty at Cambridge House. The complimentary calls upon her Majesty yesterday were exceedingly numerous, and included many members of the highest aristocracy. DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF TUE BELGIANS. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, with the Prin. cess Charlotte of Belgium and the Count of Flanders, returned to Buckingham Palace from Manchester at five minutes to 12 o'clock yesterday morning. I❑ addition to his suite the King was attended by M. Van de Weyer (the Belgian Minister), Lord Waterpark, Major-General the Hon. Sir Edward Cust, and Lord Alfred Paget. Her Roy,l Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the King soon after his arrival at the Palace. At 10 minutes past one o'clock the King, with the Princess Charlotte and the Count of Flanders, took his departure from the Palace for Dover, en roate to the Continent. The King and the Princess were attended by the Countess d'Yve, Madame de Bovee, Count de Moerkerke, Captain Burnell, Dr. Koepl, the Belgian Minister, Lord Waterpark, Major General the Hon, Sir E (ward Cust, Lord Alfred Paget, and Major-General Bouverie. M. Van de Weyer (the Belgian Minister) and Sir Ed ward Cut continued their attendance on the King from the Bricklayers Arms station to Dover. DOVER, FRIDAY. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, accompanied by the Princess Charlotte of Belgium and the Count of Flanders, arrived here this afternoon by special train from London. The train left the Bricklayers' Arms station at half-past one, and ran into the Dover station at half past three o'clock. The Hon. James Byng, chairman, and Mr. Tenlon, one of the board of directors, wits Mr. Eborall, general manager of the company, attended the royal party from the Bricklayers' Arms station to Dover. The King and the other members of the royal family embarked for Ostend shortly after four o'clock. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna l\laria Dawson and Sir George Couper, !eft her residence, Clarence-house, St. Jamea'r, yesterday afternoon, for Frogmore. THE QUEEN OF THE NETIERLANDS.—The Countess de Buren (Queen of tue Netherlands) attended by the Baroness de Pabert, first Lady in Waiting s Mademoist l'e Heldewier, the Count Randwyck, Lord Steward, Cap tain Tindal, Chamberlain, and the Councillor of State, Weckerlin, honoured the establishment of Mr. C. F. Hancock, of 39, Bruton-street, this morning, with a Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Niontpensier were present at Lady Hoiland's afternoon fête at Holland house on Wednesday. The names of the Duke and Duchess d'A.umale were inserted in error. Lady Holland's next parties are fixed for the 25th and 29th instant. In out list of company present at the marriage of Lord and Lady Burghersh, on Thursday, the names of Viscount and Viscountess "Gage" were, by a typogra phical error, substituted for those of Viscount and Viscountess Curzon. The Baron and Baroness de Keverberg have left the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, for Stellington Hall, Yorkshire. FOLKESTONE, July 17, 8 p.m.—Sir Moses and Lady Montefiere have just disembarked at this port, on their return from the Holy Land. Sir Moss is accompanied by Jeusson Pacha, the infant son of Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, with a numerous suite in attendance. Tee whole party remain at the Pavilion Hotel. HANOVER-WARE Rooxs. Last evening, Signor Guiseppe Operti gave his annual vocal and instrumental concert in the above-named rooms. The attendance was better than could.be expected at this time of the year, and was all that cool' be desired, both in numbers and respectability. The fair sex mustered in the greater proportion, showing, thereby, a total disregard for the warmth and inconvenience of a hewed assembly, at the hottest part of the season, and a desire to enjoy tee cweorrtks was rsf in nmiintesenitf a composers, at well-sel e cted banquet ofss at any h azar d. Th e con cert ma n e , con t a i n ing gems of the pure and beautiful works of Donizetti and Verdi. A remarkable feature of the entertainment was the presentation of a new opera callnd " Andrea Pesani," t he mus ic of which was by Signer G. Operti, and the word s b y Signor S Renfredo Mazzioni. f e n l i o v pr e do d s , ai t ir a : n nin d st n rh i ko e a t u,z with sld bpeeha iled merited citn en so T uf te c e ce n ss o . ll with pleasure, especial l y w hen it evidences : a refinement progressll novelty n ri y vv t attempt h a e s at e to i r e e ri e ° of taste. Among the vocalists were—Madame Sanville, Madame Desprey, Miss Clarissa (a pupil of Signor G. Operti, and a very promising young artiste), Madame Newton Frodsham, Madame Russell', Madame Bellosio, Maine. Martinetti, Signor Grossi, Signor Sebastien Creckaert, Signor Annoni, and Signor Mazzioritti. The orchestra and cnoruses were complete and satisfactory in their effect. A terzstto in Verdi's opera of " I Lem bardi," was well sang by Signor Enrico Grossi, Signor Sebastien Crockaert, and Madame Sanville, and was loudly applauded. An aria in the opera of " Traviata," by Signor Monari, was deserving of notice ; but the piece that seemed to have delighted most was a duetto Elisir ?!'Amore,' by Donizetti, and beautifully sung by Madame Sanville and Signor Grossi. Madame Sanville displayed a great compass and flexibili•y of voice in the executien of her pert of the duetto, but Signor Grossi gave greater tokens of strength and vigour than of taste and refinement, The whole concert passed off satisfactorily. HERR REICHARDT. — One of the most rech,erch6 con. carts of the season was given yesterday by Herr Reichardt at the Dudley Gallery, by permission of Lord War t. This celebrated tenor was assisted by several of the most distinguished artistes, including Mesdames Ugalde, Mareshner, Mdlle. Westerstrand, Melique, Piatti, Benedict, Osborne, Tedesco, Belletti, Jules Lefort, &e. Several beautiful compositions of Dr. H, Mareshner were performed, both vocal and instrumental. the gem of the concert being a charming song, " Der Kusre" which was given by Herr Reichardt with such exquisite taste and expression, that it was encored una nimously. Dr. H. Marcehner's performance on the pia n o was remar k a ble for genuine artistic feeling and classical reading. In ordinary course the next telegraphic in'eslligence from India Would not be expected before Monday, the 20th inst., but as every effort will be made for speed is will doubtless be hoped for next week. In official quarters an impression seems to be entertained that in case of the taking of Delhi a special steamer will probably have been despatched, and therefore it is possible that further accoun'a may be received at any hour. It is also to be remarked that if the Governor of Malta should adopt the same plan as on the last occasion, and transmit the advices to Cagliari, to be forwarded by the Sardinian line of telegraph, the Government may obtain them considerably in a nticipation of the general public. In such case it is much to be desired that they should be made known as soon as possible in some regular and auttiorized manner. A strong suspicion is entertained that the main points of these last received wore in the hands of speculators for an entire day before they were properly published. It may be assumed that the heads of the Government act with discretion on such occasions, but when striking political news has become known to any three or four persons and their immediate attendants absolute secrecy is out of the question.

LATEST NEWS. FRANC F. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The funeral of Wronger, the poet, took place to d4y at noon. The religious ceramony was performed in the C . The re- hurch of St. Elizabeth, in the Temple. mains were then buried at Pere la Chaise. At 12 o'clock precisely all the persons specially invited were assembled. At the house of the poet in the Rue Vendome, and the cortege set out soon afterwards for the church. A magnificent hearse, adorned with branches of oak, of lairel, and crowns of immortelles, bore the remains of the peep. The chief Mourners were MM. Benjamin Ant in, Petro- tin (his publisher), Prospere Vernet, Professor of Law at Toulouse ; a sub-officer of the Ist Regiment of Artillery, nearly related to Beranger, and a compositor, employed at the Imprimerie Em periale of Paris, said to be distantly ratted to him. One of the Emperor's carriages and nine mourning coaches immediately followed tlm hearse. The Parisian press had also its repre sentatives on the occasion. The mounted guards of Paris, with their colonel at their head, opetied the procession, and rode on both sides of the hearse. The infantry of the same force closel it with their arms reversed, and three reg;ments of .nfantry were drawn up in line, and extended from , he Rue Vendome to the Church of St. Elizabeth. The hearse reached the church at a quarter-past 12. The exterior of the building was covered with black cloth, which displayed shields inscribed with the initials of the poet. The interior wore also the 31.1110 sable hangings from the floor to the freizes. A border of white stars ran round the nave. Shields, wish the initials, and large crowns formed of immortelles, were alternately placed on the dra pery. At the extremity of the nave, close by the high altar, rose a magnificent catafalque, displaying •tears wrought in silver, and encircled by lamps and lighted tapers. The cure of the church, with his clergy, received thebody at the entrance, and followed it in proceQsion to the catafalque in the nave. The united choirs of the Madeleine and St. Elizabeth chanted the mass for the dead and the Dies irce, accompanied by the organ. When the absolution was delivered the remains were reconduoted by the officiating clergy to the hearse at the door and then the cortege set out for the remetary of Pere-la- Chaiss. On issuing from the church it descended the Rue du Temple to the Rue de Bretagne. It passed down this street, ai also that of the Filles-du- Calvain as far as the Boulevard, which it crossed and entered the Rue Menilmontant. In all this direction the same vast crowds of people might be observed; and the cries of "_Honneur a Berange,r," were repeated during the whole passage, from the Rue St. Elizabeth to the Cemetery. I have not heard of the slight?st symptom of disorder having occurred. The only moment of confusion was when the cavalry checked the advance of the crowd as the body issued from the Church. It lasted but a short time, and, with the exception of the streets through which the procession passed, the circulation was free. At the entrance of the Cemetery a crowd, as great as that in the neighbourhood of the church, covered the outer boulevards, and were evidently waiting for hours before the arrival of - the remains. The remains were deposited• in a vault, over which a handsome monument, at the Emperor's expense, it is said, will be raised to the memory of Beranger. In complance with the express will of the poet, no discourse was pronounced over his grave. Those who formed the cortege, the multi tude that witnessed or followed it, and the large body of troops that performed the double duty of maintaining tranquillity and honouring Beranger, retired in order. The crowd, which was immense, separat©i in the most pei feet order. The following telegraphic despatches have been received hero to-day : " MARSEILLES, July 16, ALGIERS, 14.—The Gover nor-General has sent a despatch declaring that en the lltb, by a combined movement, the divisions Henault, M.acMahon Massiat, and Jusuf, occupied simultaneously the whole of the territory known by the name of Deil loul-Beni-Touraghiwitt. The troops, with admirable spirit, climbed up to retreats deemed inaccessible.

The project of establishing a national bank by means of the Turks alone has failed, and the promoters of it had thought it advis able to enter into negotiation with Messrs.

The Grand Vizir had givena grand dinner in his tent on the Grand Champ to the Ambassadors of England, France, and Russia; and after it he read to them the instructions which he had prepared for the commissioners charged to fix the limits in Asia of the terri tory between Turkey and Russia. The min's ters approved of the instructions. The Sultan, in honour of the circumcision of his children, con tinued his series of grand banquets in tints to functionaries, foreign and native merchants, the students of the schoo!s, &c. ; on one day as many as 3,000 soldiers were feasted. Tb.e Sultan had alto caused to be given at the palace a magnificent banquet of 150 covers to the foreign ministers, and the gentlemen of their respective legations. At the desert, Lord Stratford de Etecicbffe rose and pro pcsed a toast to the Sultan, and the Grand Vizier gave one to the allied sovereigns, but neither made a speech. SPAIN. MADRID, July 16. —The remains of the insur. gent bands in Andalusia have taken the direction of the mountains to the north of Gibraltar. The royal troops are pressing them close, and have already killed same 40 of the rebels. The Chamber of Deputies has suspended its sit tings, and the Ambassador of Spain has set out for France. The Caucasus of Tiflis contains a report from the Governor-General of Kutais, addressed to General Baratinski, which announces that the fort of G!a pitchi, in Abasia, abandoned by the Russians in 1854, has been re-occupied by the latter without resistance. The fortifications had been partially destroyed by the mountain tribes, but they will be restored without delay. The Duke and Duchess de Brabant on Wednes day save a grand dinner in the palace at Brussels to the Count d'A.rchinto, sent to that city by the Austrian-Government to demand the band of the Princess Charlotte for the Archduke Maximilian. The members of the Austrian legation and the Mi nisters were present. A telegraphic despatch from Piblitz states that the King of Prussia was yesterday so much better that his departure for Berlin was expected the next day. WYLD'S MAP OF INDIA. Wyld and promptitude would seem to be synonymous terms—for here we have a splen did and most accurate new map of India before we recover breath from the effects of the late astounding news of the mutiny of the Bengal soldiery. This map is a perfect specimen in its way of how much can b 3 compreseed into a small compass. We have a nicely coloured sub division of all the presidencies and their compo nent parts, together with the several and various dependencies of our vast Indian Empire—the area and population of Hindostan—the military stations of the army marked prominently throughout Ben gal—Madras—Bombay, together with a mass of other informantion, which at this juncture, most valuable to the British people. Besides all this, we have a bird's-eye view, on Mercator's principle, of the world, from Behring's Straits to the far East, showing the relative position of each country to the other, and indicat ing the shortest route to Hindostan and China. But it would fill a column to give even a portion of the multifarious contents of this well-timed and excellent map—so we conclude by saying—buy it, and judge for yourself. If you can feel disap pointed never believe us again. THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—Acoording to the Evening Post orders have been received by the authorities Lore to increase the strength of every effective regiment i n Ireland to 1;000 strong. AMERICA. ANOTHER REMARKABLE PASSAGE OF THE PERSIA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The British and North American Royal Mail steamship Persia, Captain C. H. E. Judkins, ar rived in the Mersey -his afternoon, after anothe' remarkable passage, having left New York on the Bth instant—thus completing a second voyage across the Atlantic under nine days,—feats never heretofore accomplished. The Persia sailed " north , about," and made Noel Nant at 2 p.m., but was detained at the bar of the Mersey, await ng the flood tide. She brought 224 passengers, and 851,855 dollars in specie. The advices by the Persia are eight days later direct from New York than we had previously oh -tained. The Persia passed the Kangaroo off Tory Island. The Belgian screw steamer Constitution, f r om Antwerp, arrived at New York on the 2d inst , the Columbia hence, and the Lebanon from Havre, on the sth, and the Arabia hence on the 7th, after a capital run. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says that Lord Napier has communicated to Secretary Cass a disavowal of the cession to Eng land of the island in Panama Bay. He also denies the allegation that the Chincha Islands are con veyed to British suhject3, or have been placed under British and French protection. Lord Napier disclaims generally the policy of territorial acquisi tion in or near the American continent, but admits that her Britannic Majesty's government will oß pose the monopoly by any power of the rights and privileges, commercial or of any other description, rightfully appertaining to the general use of the world. Negotiations are tending to the settlement of Nicaraguan affairson the basis of the Webs er and Crampton project of 1852, allowing Cos' a Rica the free use of the San Juan River to the mouth of the Serapiqui. The Hon:" W. Marcy, late Secretary of Mate, died suddenly,,on the 4th July, at Pallston, Sara toga county. • The Postiriaster-General and the President have decided upon the route of the overland mail to Ca lifornia. It commences at St. Louis and Memphis, thence to Little Rick, thence to Rio Grande, thence along the projected waggon-toad to Fort Yuma, and so on to San Francisco. Throughout the Union the anniversary of Ame rican independence was celebrated on the 9th inst. in the usual manner. Bloody riots took place at New York on the 4th, and Sunday, fie sth inst , and resulted in the death of eight persons, and 43 wounded. Advices from St. John's, Newfoundland, state that the catch of fish off that island had been rather better than the average thus far this season, and the business is going on prosperouly. We have later advices from Havana; but they contain no news of importance. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 7. The money market is well supplied—all approaoh to stringency has disappeared on sati-factory securities. Stocks improved. Exchange on Lyndon 109 a A. The sales of cotton were restricted to a few hundred bales at full prices, and the market continued to rule quite firm. There was a good local and eastern demand for flour, while common to good grades of State and Western ad vanced about 5 cents per barrel, while higher grades of extras were unchanged. Wheat was firm, and Indian corn was somewhat ea-ier. Provisions less active. Freights steady, with more doing. , ...,-' ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day The committees appointed to try the various petitions against the returns for Falkirk, Maldon, and Weymouth, met this morning in their several committee-rooms and proceeded with the evidence on the part of the peti tioners. Witnesses were called and examined in sup port of the allegations against the sitting members, but their evidence was uninteresting in both a local and general point of view. The effect of the evidence was principally to prove treating at public•houses by direc tion of the agents of the sitting members. It being Saturday the committees did not sit later than three o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day. THAMES. A THIEF DISCOVERING HIMSELF.—SINGULAR ROB BERY.—Wiiliatu Hawkins ' a singular looking man, without a c-at and about 40 years of age was brought before Mr. Yardly charged with stealing a pair of boots, value ss. ad., from the shop of Mr. Young, boot and shoe maker of Langley Place, Commercial Road El 4. Mr. Saunders said he was foreman to Mr. Young. Yesterday evening about half-past seven o'clock the prisoner came into Mr. Young's shop with a begging petition and said he was a boot-closer labouring under illness and out of employment. The prisoner had a coat packed under his arm, and although his appeal was declined he remained in the shop for some time. About half an hour after the prisoner was gone he missed a pair of blucher boots from that part of shop where pri son er had been standing. About half-past 9 o'clock, and after the shop was closed, there was a knock at the door, and upon opening it the prisoner again pre sented himself and said, "Have I been in your shop to day Witness replied, "Yes, you have." At that time there were several others who appeared to know the prisoner, standing in front of the house. Tile pri soner said, " Have you lost a pair of boy's boots." Witness replied, "Yes, I have ; a nair of boy's boots of the 4 s'ze." The prisoner said, " I have been done out of a pair of boy's boots, and I should like the right one to know it. A man named Allen has taken them away for one of his son -, and has not paid me. I will show you where the place is." He immediately sent for a pol.ce constable, and gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Tames Macdonald, 102 H, said the prisoner told me he took the boots into a beersh .p, and was " bested" out of them, lie laid down and kicked me severely, and swore he would do me a serious injury. The prisoner, after pleading guilty to the charge of stealing the boots, made a long and plausible statement. He said he was very ill, and ho was tronbltd with a fis tula and two absces , es, one on his neck which the police man opened by his roughness and caused it to bleed. The prisoner, after mentioning the names of the medical gentlemen who had operated upon him half a dozen times, said he could not set to his work, and sought re lief from his trade. Mr. Yardley was very sorry if the prisoner was afflict ed in the way stated, but was afraid a man who had told so many untruths in his beg;ing petition would tell falsehoods about his infirmities. The prisoner had adopted a most impudent mode of proceeding, and after stealing the boots went to a beer shop to dispose of them, and found a man as dishonest as himself The prisoner then, from the most mischievous of motives', went back to the shop where he committed the robbery to obtain the punishment of the other thief. Such a strange cor ruption of morals he had never known before. He sen tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. FRIGHTFUL CABE OF STABBING.—MigneI DeTeHiS, man of colour, a native of Chili, who has been in cue tldy a month on a charge of cutting and wounding two English seamen named Bishop and Webster, was brought before Mr. Yardley for the fourth time on remand. The prisoner stabbed the two Englishmen in Ratcliff Highway with a long sheath-knife, and without the slightest provocation whatever, as they were quietly pas sing along the street. One man was stabbed under the left arm-pit and on the right shoulder; the other, Bishop, was wounded on the thigh and the scrotum. He is in a precarious state in the London Hospital. The police-constable, Payne of the H division, who has eharge of the case, said that neither of the prisoner's victims could appear. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner must be again iemanded for another week, and if necessary, he would go to the London Hospital tozeceive the depositionsof the wounded men. STRAND THEATRE. - The long looked for c•nnet, after having so shamefully disappointed the expectations of the star gazica public, has at length made its appearance at the StraneTheatre, not, howeter, in propria persona, but as txpected in the feats of one "GideonGrungrizzle" who firmly believes that the long looked-for meteor is to bring destruction upon his devoted head. Mr. Leicester Buckinghatn's fai ce of " Drat that Comet," in which all this is set forth, has been completely successful, and a large share of its suc cess must no doubt be attributed to the excellent acting of Mr. Moloch, Mr. Clarke, and Miss Craven—who, by the way, is rapidly becoming an established favourite with the public. The farce promises to have a long and prosperous run. A PAUPER CHOKED.— Thursday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Eltphant and Castle, Camden-town, on the body of Wm. Roberts, aged 65, an inmate of St. Pan cras' Worhhouse, who was choked while eating his din ner. It appeared that on Sunday, while at dinner, he began to swallow his allowance in very large pieces, and he was so voracious that he endeavoured to gorge several large pieces of meat, as well as potatoes, at one time. While so doing he exhibited symptoms of suffo cation, and part of the food was taken out of his mouth, but he became insensible, and died before medical aid could arrive.—Vtrdiet, "Accidental Death."
