One day we are told, that there never was such an army seen as that which sailed from this country for the East, at the commencetnent of the war, and that the army which has just returned surpasses anything ever known ; and the next day it is announced, at some " banquet" or aristocratic gathering, that the efficiency of our military service must be secured and maintained, coute qui coute. Now, it so happens, that the army which we lost in the Crimea was that which con stituted our peace establishment, and where was a r body of men ever seen ? Had they been com manded by the " Great Duke," or by a General of ordinary skill—if they had been properly provided for, when thrown on the shores of the enemy's country, what could have resisted them ? They were all efficiency and all sufficient for the work before them. This is proved by the havoc which the Russian ranks in their first and every subsequent battle. In a word, the army of a made it was perfection. We now come to he latter days of the siege, when our ranks were _ _ filled by recruits—men raised to meet the exigency of war—and where have we seen better soldiers, or more daring spirits ? What was the conduct of our young soldiers in the trenches, and at the Redan ? Could men have behaved better after For further par- ten or twenty years service ? opposite the Dee Chen, becomes of the aspersions heaped upon our peace army, or that raised in the heat of war? They were both found equal to the task set before them; and what more does Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS of Kars, and the other agitators of hig class, mean, by their out-cry about the inefficiency of the British army ? We respect Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS, as a soldier, as much as any of his more noisy admirers, but we think the gallant baronet is travelling too fast, and too far, into the troubled waters of politics. The heroes who have served with such honour in the East, are entitled to all the praise that has been bestowed upon them; and this is a sufficient answer to those who are running about the world pro claiming the innefficiency of our army, and endeavouring to make political stock in -trade of a palpable paradox. Sir FENWICK Wu ' may sec What. t our military affairs in precisely the same light that the editor of the London Times does, but neither the young general, or the " leading journal," will succeed in persuad ing the people of these islands to incur the expense —say 14,000,0001. annually—to keep up what they would consider an effective force, simply because we may require at army of two or three hundred thousand men some years hence Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS has recently told us, however, that he was returned to Parliament, and has taken his seat, as a military regenerator ! The honourable baronet would have Woolwich, and th ordnan( ce estimates, as a matter of course, in the sober days of peace, just what they were in the last days of the greatest war in which we could pos- The hero of Kars must have rgotten that while he was talking in such a strain that bly be er gaged he was torturing a Premier, crushing his Chancellor of the Exchequer, and making rebels of fully two-thirds of the supporters of the Ministry in the House of Commons. Sir FENWICK never dealt Out heavier salvos against the Russian columns before Kars, or used grape and canester with more deadly effect. The dissemination of his new doctrine will scatter the friends of the Cabinet, whose especial favourite Sir FENWICK appears to be, most effectually. But where is Sir JAMES SimpsoN all this time ? He really did serve with the British army in the Crimea. Sir FENWICK LIAMS did not. And we should like to hear what the old veterans, the silent and less applauded heroes of the Eastern war, have to say on the subject of our army's inefficiency. The public would like to hear Sir CoLix CAMPBELL questioned No. 90, as to the changes required in the field movements, internal economy, and general regulations of the Highland l3rigade. Some old soldier might tell us what reforms are wanted in the Guards. Some experienced trooper could enumerate all the defects which were observable in the " Heavies," and our dashing Light Cavalry corps. Those who commanded the Engineers and Artillery in one of the greatest sieges on record, can probably explain all that was faulty in those important branches of our military service. Should these fail us, one and all, we have Prince MENSCHIKOFF and Prince GORTSCHAKOFF to appeal to, and if we dare mention OMAR PACHA, his opinion might be taken. We need scarce ask General PELLISSIER and the French army what they think of the efficiency of our Crimean forces. If they should all agree that so great an array of arms required a great commander, and nothing more, will Sir PENNI/UK WILLIAMS pretend again to tell us that so incalculable and unaccountable a deficiency will be supplied at a future day, by keeping up a war establishment at Woolwich, and camps all over the three kingdoms? Does the worthy baronet mean to say that we are to pay 20,000,0001. a year in army and ordnance esti mates, to make a General worthy of the great trust reposed in a Commander-in• Chief in distant war? The youngest child of fortune, and the youngest member of the House of Commons may, perhaps, be excused for his selection of a theme whereon to display his tact and zeal; but his friends must deeply regret that he has not chosen some more popular subject, and one which would bear a little more commonsense discussion. And they really ought to beg of Sir FENWICK to take the very grace ful hint thrown out by Lord JOHN RUSSELL at a recent banquet at the Mansion House, when the gallant baronet was the guest of the evening. The noble lord endorsed all the army reformers recom mended, but he very inobtrusively observed that he would support the wish expressed for the greater efficiency of the military service "on a peace footing." Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS will pro bably understand the significance of Lord JOHN'S words, and he would do well to consider them seriously, as they will not be quickly forgotten by the nublie. THE mutiny at Nenagh is a matter' which can not be overlooked by the Minister of War, now the refractory regiment have been bronriht into subjection. The cause of the ontbrea part of the militiamen appears to have be trifling, affair. They simply asked for th that was promised to them when th on the a very jounty listed. and that they might be allowed to take their regi mental trowsers with them. Any requests of this sort must have been made to their superiors, either their officers orison-commissioned officers; and the public will be anxious to learn, whether, when the men first showed a spirit of discontent, if their officers interposed, and endeavoured to keep their men quiet until their complaints had been fairly represented to the Government. A few friendly words from the Colonel or Major of a regiment goes a long way with their men in such cases ; and we hope to hear that those officers did use some persuasion in this instance. A few disorderly recruits may sometimes cause a serious riot, but we seldom, or indeed never, hear of whole regiments turning out and committing such excesses as those attributed to the Tipperary Militia. Our military annals do not supply a parallel out rage to that committed in the town of Nenagh. The men appear to have been left entirely to themselves. Their officers, fearing probably to be mistaken for mutineers, left them to themselves. This was, to say the least of it, carrying an honour able scruple a little too far. If any officer had stepped forward and told the men that their com plaints should be laid before the war authorities, and that he would see the whole matter settled peaceably, it is more than likely that all would have passed off quietly. If this was done, and failed, or if the men used threatening language towards those placed over them, no blame whatever would rest on the officers. But this is a point which ought to be investigated most rigidly, as few will believe, that if the officers, in a body had first advised, and then cautioned their violence, that men of the consequences of would have occurred. The in formation received from the scene of the tragedy is most imperfect, and, in its present state, we should be sorry to pronounce an opinion on the conduct of either officers or men. If the latter were to have been left without money or clothes on the day they were to have been dis embodied, the utmost discontent must have been apprehended; and the Government ought to have taken steps to prevent the serious troubles which have since taken place. A militiaman who only gets one week's pay when discharged, can have but very little to keep him until he gets work, if he has to buy a suit of clothes before he can leave his barracks. And now that it is universally known that the men of the Italian Legion receive 181., with their clothes, when they are disbanded, the discontent is likely to be much greater. Here, then, we are overtaken by all those difficulties we foreshadowed when the Foreign Enlistment Bill was first mooted. It was most impolitic to offer foreigners terms which we were not prepared to extend to our own country. men. iNtever was there a more wild—nay, mad scheme for raising an army. It has already done irreparable mischief, and care must be taken that it does not do more. The enquiry into the Nenagh riot will probably convince the Government that something ought to be done to guard against fur, ther diMeulties of a similar character. When a militia regiment is disbanded some experienced officer ought to be present, as the authority of the officers of a defunct corps ceases with the disembo diment. This was, no doubt, the impression of the commanders of the Tipperary Militia. They may have fancied that they had no right to interfere after their period of service had been brought to a close. Should this turn out to be so, the conduct of those in question will be blameless. Still the War Minister would have gladly sanctioned their interference in a case of such extreme urgency, and we sincerely hope, for the credit of the service, that the gentlemen who have kept the wild blood of Tipperary in such admirable suboraination for so many months, will come out of the enquiry without the slightest military or moral stain. the emeuti Tres :LATE EARL DIGBY.—The probate of the will of the late Right Hon. Edward Earl of Digby, has been sworn to as of upper value, the personality exceeding one million. MISS FLORENCE NIGRTINGA.LE.-At the quarterly meet ing of the governors of the Royal Free Hospital, on Thurs day last, it was resolved, " That Miss Nightingale, in testimony of her highly distinguished services in the cause of suffering humanity during the late war, be elected an honorary life governor of this hospital." ROYAL DEMISE.—Her Royal Highness Pauline, Duchess of Nassau, expired at her palace at Wiesbaden, on Monday last. The deceased duchess was the second wife and re'ict of William George, Duke of Nassau, father of the reigning duke, and second daughter of the late Prince Paul, brother of the present King of War- temberg THE OFFICE OP COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.—We have already announced the resignation of the high and im portant office of Commander-in-Chief by Viscount Hardinge, so long the esteemed personal friend of the late Duke of Wellington. We learn that, on Saturday afternoon the Duke of Cambridge would be Lord Hardinge's successor, and yesterday his Royal Highness assumed the command of her Majesty's forces. The promulgation of the fact to the army, as well as the pro motion of the Duke to the higher military rank which the appointment involves, will in all probability be made in the next Gazette. Major-General Sir Charles Yorke, who has efficiently discharged the delicate duties of military secretary to Lord Hardinge, will continue to fill the same office under his Royal Highness. In making this announcement, the Globe of last night publishes the following commenta►y :—" The appoint ment of the Duke of Cambridge to be Comtnmander-in- Chief will be received with general assent, both by the army and the public. There is the first great requisite for this general assent—that there are no rival claim ants for the post. There is no man who unites in his person the needful military rank, distinguished services in the field, and such a position in the State as ensures for his administration the properweight. Excepting those whose lengthened years place them out of the question, the only man who unites these qualifications is the Duke of Cambridge. MORE GOVERNMENT DISCOMFITURES —lf total failure and ill-success form an ingredient essential to Govern ment employment, then, most assuredly, the active Vice-President of .he Board of Trade (Mr. Lowe) has a right to claim first class honours. His spoliation of the Town Dues having failed, even before a committee of his own choic.2, he has essayed legislation in the question of the laws affecting partnerships. His progeny, unlike its predecessors, had arrived almost at adolescence—the third reading of the bill having been assented to. Most unhappily for Mr. Lowe, on the question that the bill do pass, Mr. J. G. Phillimore moved the ad6tion of a clause, for the honest purpose of divulging through the Gazette, the names of those who advanced loans to the coparcenery. On a division, Mr. Lowe again found himself in such a minority, that even his casting vote could not save him, and here we have—at the end of a session which promised much of mercantile reform —the mercantile minister so far defeated, that last night he withdrew the last of his abortive efforts at legislation We know not whether to offer, first, our commiseratioa. to the Premier, for this failure of his mercantile minister or to the further defeat his Cabinet experienced in the House of Lords, on the Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill, on vs hich an amendment, proposed by the Duke of Buccleuch, being carried by a majority almost amounting to two to one, the Duke of Argyle withdrew it from further consideration. We have not space to allude to the discussions raised, in the House of Lords by Lord Lyndhurst, and in the House of Commons by Lord John Russell, on the affairs of Italy ; we are content to draw attention to two positive defeats of the govern ment last night, and to wish the administeration much eljoyment of their white-bait close of a session of Parliament, which has been alike as destitute of legisla tion, as it 11,s been of benefit to the nation. The pro posed expulsion of Mr. James Sadleir, of which .I\lr. Roebuck has Liven notice, forms a fitting sequel to the exposures of the Tipperary Bank Frauds. LITERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. The Liverpool Cotton Market has been very quiet to-day, and only a small business has been done, the sales amounting to 5,000 hales, of which 500 have been taken for speculation and export Prices continuo steady.

The division being 58 to 34. Advices from Turkey mention that the Ottoman Government is still paying great attention to the various measures proposed for improving the navigation of the Black Sea. it has established on the Isle of Serpents a lighthouse, 60 metres (about 166; feet) above the level of the sea. Several other plans were contemplated for rendering the navigation of this sea less intricate and dangerous than hitherto A work of great importance has been commenced on the Danube, viz., the construe tioa in the Salina mouth of that river a channel resembling that formed by the Russians in the Bong, which will have at all seasons en average depth of 16 to 18 feet. This will allow vessels to prcceed as far as Ismail and Reni, ports which have been added to Moldavia by the Treaty of Paris. These arrangements are of the greatest importance, and will render much assistance to the grain trade of the south of Europe. Letters from St. Petersburg state that all the accounts received there from the interior of Russia report an almost incredible extension of commerce on all the rivers, but especially on the Volga. From Ribinsk to Astrahan the river is crowded by the number of steamers and other vessels laden with corn, general merchandise, and passengers. Commercial advices from Paris and the manu facturing districts report a continuance of dull trade during the past week, which is generally expected at this season of the year. The only foreign orders, for merchandise, of importance, arrive from Great Britain and Russia. Business with either European countries and the 'United States is quite at a stand still, and the recent troubles in Spain has entirely suspended the usual commerce with that country. But al though busi ness generally is almost stationary, the silk trade at Lyons continues to be very active. This is caused by the dearness of raw silks, the small quantity of silks on hand, and the increased demand for export. The following are the receipts of the principal French Railways for the week ended the 30th June, compared with the corresponding period of 1855 :- 1856. 1855.

Accounts from Berlin state that the monetary conference at Vienna, for the purpose of consider ing the subject of establishing a uniform metallic and paper currency throughout Germany, and which has been for some time suspended, will shortly resume their meetings. __. The demand for gold for the continent continues active, and is expected to absorb all the imports for some time to come. On Saturday the 15,9001. ex the Catherine Adamson was taken for exporta tion. The sovereigns brought by this vessel were of colonial coinage, and were bought for France. The total value of the week's arrivals cannot be stated at less than 678,000/. Considerable quanti ties of silver also continue to flow in from the Con tinent, for transshipment to India. The Ravens bourne has brought in this week 23 bags. The Custom-house return also records the arrival of 1 box of specie and 1 case of silver per the Flora, from St. Petersburg. The exports have likewise been heavy. The London Custom-house weekly statement includes 41,459 oz, of gold and 43,600 oz. of silver, representing a total value of about 171,0001. The total ascertained shipments of the week are thus raised to 303,4001. The chief exports, however, have consisted of the remittances of gold made privately to the Continent. These are believed to have comprised nearly the whole of the arrivals. except the 200 sovereigns ex the Ger truida, which were sent into the Bank, besides some further amounts drawn from that institution. The funds remain firm, and prices are even quoted a shade better than they closed on Satur day. Consols opened at 951, and the closing quo tations were-95 11-16 95 13-16. This being "name day" in the Foreign Stock and Rsilway Share Markets, the attention of the operators is principally absorbed by the prelimin ary arrangements for the settlement of the fort night account in those transactions. Foreign Stocks are in some measure affected by the operations in connection with the settlement, but the quotations are generally firmer. The dealings in Railway Shares this morning have been limited, but prices have improved in some cases upon Saturday's rates.

From an early hour n the morning the township was all astir, the various lodges, assembling in goodly numbers, the members being equipped in their h,liday clothes, and the officers of distinction, wearing large orange scarfs, and other,emblems to show that they belonged to the society. About noon the various lodges f orme d themselves into procession, and, accompanied by flags and banners, and an almost innumerabte number of spectators, proceeded to march . through Wavertree, a n d th e pr i ncipal roads adjoining, going as far Wootton and Child well, the bands playing a variety of party tunes. The Orangemen themselves kept exceedingly good order, and the whole affair passed off without the slightest disturbance. Mr Superintendent Ryde and a body of the Liverpool police ' were in attendance to prevent the main body from entering the town, and thus, as on a previ ous occas i on, cause a dis turbance. '1 he exertions and arra tgements were happily slice s;ful. Several pickpockets were app re h en d ed b y detect i v e officers, while exercising their avocations, and were placed in "durance vile." Aft er perambulating the townships, the Orangemen adjourned to their several lodge houses, to plrtake of dinner, after which, in most cases, a ball con cluded the day's amusements. During the afternoon, the road from Liverpool to Wavertree presented one mass of drunkenness —men, women, and youths of both sexes, being constantly seen rolling home in a most disgusting condition. received SPAIN, From Madrid under the date of the 13th inst., we learn that a ministerial crisis has been declared, but with what result the despatch is silent.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING The reply of the King of Naples to the remon strances of France and England on his system of government has, it appears, not been officially presented, and I have heard doubts expressed in a high political quarter, whether, on account of the extreme insolence of its tone, it will be Some of the newspapers say that the Greek General Kalergi has been to Plombieres to have an interview with the Emperor, and they suppose that this indicates a design on the part of the French government to take some im portant measures with respect to that unfortunate country But the fact, lam aesured, is that the General has not been to Plombieres at all. Still it is not improbable, as indeed I told you some time back, that if brigandage in Greece continues, the French government will think itself called on to, as the phiwe is " do something." The sales of cotton at Havre during the week amounted to 8053 bales, and the importations to 11,458. Business was brisk, and prices advanced. The Session of the Senate was closed yesterday, after the passing some bills previously adopted by the Legislative Body, and amongst them that for placing restrictions on the formation of commercial companies on the limited liability principle (en commandite). The Senators dispersed with cries of " Vive l'Empereur." Some of the papers allege to-day that the reason why the Emperor of Russia has so long refrained from nominating an Ambassador to this country is that he is anxious to have all the great personages of his Empire about him at his coronation—and that consequently he has not been animated by any ill-feeling to France. But this explanation comes rather late in the day, and is by no means a satis factory one. An official paper shows that the number of bankruptcies in Paris, in the year ending 30th of June last, was 795, and that the capital of new companies formed, amounted to the enormous sum of 1,994,294,000 f—very nearly £80,000,000 sterling, or upwards of £40,000,000 more than in the pre ceding year. These figures show how terrible the rage for speculation has been Trade, during the past week, has been very dull ; no orders have been received from the United States or Spain, or any conntry in Europe, except England and Russia, and very few from them. The silk trade at Lyons, however, is remarkably brisk, and a good deal has lately been done in wool. Indeed, it is to transactions in silk and wool, that the great increase of discounts of the Bank of France, which have taken place lately, is ascribed. A. piece of grave news has arrived from Turin. Tho Cardinian Government has decreed that a million francs (40,0001). shall be immediately spent in increasing the fortifications round Alessandria. The reason assigned is, that the frontier is weakly defended, and that Austria is fortifying Placentia. The matter is represented to be of such urgent importance, that the meeting of the Chambers cannot be waited for, A telegraphic despatch from Vienna says, that in consequence of the birth of a daughter, the Emperor of Austria has awarded a large amnesty to political offenders, and that the confiscated property of some Hungarian and Transylvanian nobles is to be restored. An arrival from Constantinople makes known thAt Seger Pacha, the Circassian, had received peremptory orders from the Ottoman Porte to put an end to the war against Russia; also, that the Turkish authorities had arrested the Cadi and 150 inhabitants of Marasch, for the murder of the English Consular agent and his family, some time ago. Russia, it appears, had re installed three of her Consuls in Turkey. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING The funeral of M. Fortoul, Minister of Public Instruction, has taken place to-day with a good deal of pomp. The funeral service was celebrated in the church of St. Thomas d'Aquina, and the body was interred in the cemetery of Mont Parnasse. Speeches were delivered over the grave by Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War; M. Dumas, Vice-Presi dent of the Superior Council of Public Instruction ; and M. Renaisson, of the Institute. As the funeral took place at the public expense, a large body of troops were under arms, and cannon was fired from the Invalides. The Moniteur has published details of the last moments of the unfor tunate Minister. It seems that he knew perfectly well that he was going to die, or, to use his own words, that he was " a lost man :" but he earnestly entreated to be bled, and when this had been done, without success, he sent for a priest and made a confession. He then named his wife and family one by one, and expressed a hope that the Emperor, whom he had faithfully served, would provide for them, took leave of the people about him, and then with a slight sigh expired. In addition to the 277,000 soldiers lost by Russia in the war, she lost, either in killed or death from sickness, 30,000 sailors. Count de Alontalembert has published in a Review an article, in which he abuses Lord Palmer ston and the English people for their conduct with respect to the Pope and Italy. Yet it is not long since that the same Count published a book in which he lauded the English people to the skies. CANADA.—ne Grand Trunk Railway Aid Bill was passed by the Upper House, by a large majority. The House of Assembly had also voted the money for public buildings at Quebec. It was threatened with an opposition in the Legislative Council, which may prolong the session a few days longer. According to telegraph, via Halifax, the Quebec letter-bag missed the Boston steamer. THE WA'VERTREE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH;—Last evenino , a meeting of the commissioners composing this local board, was held at the public offices, Wavertree. The Rev. Mr. Badnall presided. The other commissi oners pie sent were—Messrs. Chaffers, Gore, Davis, And erson , an d Rishton. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The only other business under the consider ation of the board was a plan submitted by Mr. Newlands for the sewerage and drainage of the district, which was read, but, for obvious reasons, the several items as to the expense were omitted. A bri e f conversation followed as to the practicability of carrying out certain portions of the plans, for instance, the drainago of Lance-lane, and Bishop street, but eventually the plan was adopted, and the clerk was directed to forward a copy thereof to the general board in London, requesting them to give their sanction to the board carrying the plan into effect. The board then adjourned. PACKET-SHI P ISAAC WEBB.—The following is a copy of a letter presented to Captain J. M. Dryer, of that ship, by his cabin passengers :—" Liverpool, 11th Ju1y,1856. Dear Sir,—We think it our duty, before leaving Liverpool, thus t) express our thanks for your kindness to us, as well as to every passenger on board your ship; at the same time t o convey the high esteem in which we hold your seamanlike qualities, clearly evinced by your coolness, intrepidity, and judgment, all combined, when surrounded by dang er an d diffi cu lty of no ordinary description. We w it nesse d your unceasing attention to your ship from th e moment s h e left the d .ck until driven by that terrific gale of last Mon day night on such a fearful rockbound coast. We and all the passengers feel that, under Almighty Providence, we are indebted to your conduct, and that of your c hi e f m ate, your brave officers and crew, for our safety on that awful occa sion. We regret on your account the misfortune to your fine chip; had she not been of unusual strength, we can well understand she must have bona to pieces that dreadful night. We hope soon to hear of your ship being afloat once more, and may, possibly, on some future occasion, have the pleasure of a voyage under your command.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON. Monday Morning.—The Sultan has just arrived. She left Lisbon on the 9th. Among her passengers are, the Marquis of Frontera, Count de Torrey Marquis de Sauza, M. Carolus, Belgian Minister at Lis bon, and Baron A rninh, late Prussian Charge d'Affaireg. , at Lisbon. The cholera is still prevalent at Lisbon and the neighbouring districts. The steamer Euxine, from Southampton with the India mails, put into the Tagus on the Bth to repair her machinery ; she leaves again on the 9ih. There is no political novelty. fhe steam frigate Firebrand had put in for coals, towing the Belleisle ; the London had also put into Lisbon. The rate of interest on the floating debt, which was negotia ted by Senhor Fontes, has been slightly decreased by the present government. Exchange on London, 30 days, 531 ; 90 days, 541. TUE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE PouTsmount, Sunday Evening.--The ship Meteor ha brought ad vices from the Cape to the 7th May. Up to that date the state of affairs on the frontier in the free State, late sovereignty side, stood thus :—The President of the Free States had written a letter to Sir G. Grey; the governor, demanding his assistance to ch3stise predatory chief, ally of Mosesh, the chief of the Basutahs- Mues. Anxiety prevails as to the probable result. The Basutabs, as is well known, can bring from 10,000 to 12,000 well armed fighting men into the field. H.M.S. Frolic was the only ship of war in Simon's Bay at the above date. The Cape Town Mail, of the 6th, gives various rumours of an unfavourable character from the frontier, but in 3 postscript disposes of them as follows :—" We are grati fied to say that although the rumours from Kaffirland stated elsewhere were current in Cape Town on the arrival of the post, the most unqualified contradiction has just been given to them (by the governor's desire,) in the House of Assembly, by the Colonial Secretary, who read the last despatches from the authorities in Kaffirland, up to the Ist of May inclusive, from which it appeared that nothing whatever had happened to cause an alarm." THE COURT. On Sunday, the Queen and the Prince Consort, with the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, attended Divine Service in the chapel of Buck ingham Palace. The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Windsor officiated. The Princess of Prussia and the Princess Louise, and the Duchess of Kent, also attended the service. The Prince of Prussia attended Divine Service in the German Church in the Savoy. Yesterday morning the Royal Horse and Foot, Artillery✓ numbering nearly 3,000, and who have recently returned from the Crimea, were reviewed on Woolwich-common by her Majesty. Shortly after ten o'clock, her Majesty' accompanied by the Princess of Prussia, Princess Louise of Prussia, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who wore a Field Marshal's uniform, his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, in the uniform of a Prussian General, left' Buckingham Palace, escorted by a detachment of the 3rd Light Dragoons. Her Majesty was received by Sir W' F. Williams, the new Commandant, Earl of Cardigan' Colonel Hardinge, Colonel Teesdale, and many other distinguished officers, the united bands playing « God save the Queen." The review was then proceeded with ; her Majesty, at the close, complimenting General Sir W. F. Williams and the other officers, and the royal visitors left the common amidst enthusiastic cheering. --- * SUDDEN DEATir.—On Saturday morning, Mrs. Jones, the proprietress of the Waterloo Hotel, Birkenhead, died under awfully sudden circumstances. It appears that the lady was in the act of getting a jug of water from a cash in the back yard, when she fell down and died almost instantly. An inquest will be held on the body this day- PRESENTATION TO A CLERGYMAN. —On Friday evening last, the members of St. Matthias' Church, Great Howard street, assembled in the school-room for the purpose of presenting their worthy pastor and incumbent, the Res , - R. Y. Sheldon, with a handsome suit of robes, accompa— nied with an address, reflecting the respect and gratitude of the district to which the anxiety he had so long and ardently manifested for the spiritual and temporal welfare of those committed to his charge had justly entitled hire , The address also acknowledged the promptitude he had at all times manifested in attending the sick beds of the poor sufferers, and was signed on behalf of the pewholder s and other contributors by Mr. John Beesley and Mr. Thos - Armor, churchwardens. THE SCREW STEAMSHIP TAJO. —On Saturday last tbig new screw steamer, built expressly to form one of a line intended to run between this port and the Spanish coast, made an experimental trip to Llandudno and back, a nd the experiment was in the highest degree successful and satisfactory. The Tajo has bean built by Mr. Josiah Jones, from a design by Mr. Hebson, for the firm of Messrs. Teutora and Co, a Spanish firm, whose agent in Liv.;rpool is gr. B iher. The new craft is of 830 tons burthen, and her length between the perpendiculars is 216 feet, her brewith of beam, 28 feet; depth of hold, 17 feet; and her length over all, about 230 feet. Her engines, cons tructE by Mr. James Jack, of the Victoria engine works, o 150 horse power, and are constructed on an entirely no !e t principle, possessing a mode of expansion which wo:ks . similarly to that of the ordinary steam valve. Tiitg boilers have attached to them a steam whistle to be use& in case of fog, and the whole construe ion of engines is se' contrived as to occupy the singularly small space of 16 feet by 13 feet, leaving abundance of room for those engaged in conducting the operations. The success of the experimental trip of Saturday is proved by the following narrative of her exploits : —The Tajo began to move about eleven o'clock, and she gradually increased her speed until opposite the Rock Light, which she passed in about eight minutes after starting. The vessel was now fairly on her course, and proceeded steadily along, passing the Crosby lightships against a strong tide, at 33 minutes past eleven, She passed the Formby lightship at ten minutes before twelve o'clock, and at two minutes to twelve passed the Bell Buoy. The Tajo by this time had attained a speed of not less than eleven miles an hour. A distinguished party had been assembled on board to witness the experiments, and 00 board every appliance had been brought into requisition to contribute to the pleasures and amusement of the company/ An excellent band, under the superintendence of Mr. Stubbs, (whom to name is a guarantee for perfection in this department) delighted the visitors and guests by their performance of the popular compoSitions of the day. Under the auspices of Mr. James Dickson, of the Eldon dining rooms, refreshments were served with an excellence and taste which went far to rival the cuisine of the redoubted: Soyer. The trip was, as we have already mentioned, to. Llandudno, where the gay party arrived at a few minutes before two o'clock. Here the Tajo turned and brought home her joyous freight, arrriving opposite the Sandon dock about half-past tour, having performed the trip in something less than six hours. It is almost superfluous to mention that with the good things on board, the visitors were regaled with the most liberal hospitality at a sump' tuous banquet served in the state cabin. Toasts appropriate to the occasion were proposed and responded to by Mr. Bahr, as representative of the owners, by Mr. Jack, the constructor of the engines, and by Mr. Jones. the builder of the vessel, and on arriving at their concluding de, - tion, the company landed equally delighted with the performances of the Tajo. and the pleasures of their da1" 0 excursion. THE CHURCHYARD NUISANCE AT ST. JotuN's.---The question of closing St. John's churchyard against inter , meats has been mooted for some time past, but it is not generally known that an official enquiry into the nuisance created by the decomposition of the bodies has just takes place at St. George's Hall. In consequence of strong representations from this town, Dr. Holland was sent down from the Home-office to investigate the whole subject. On one side were examined Mr. Mackenzie, the superintendent of St. George's Hall, a number of the porters and workmen, and several tradesmen from Bt. lane ; and on the other the Rev. Dr. Taylor, the incumbent of St. John's, his curate, and the gravedigger. Mr. Mackenzie stated that he had been, and was still engaged in some interesting experiments on the atmosphere of the ha'!, and he mentioned some results that tell greatly against the continuance of churchyards as a place of inter ment: The atmosphere collected into the v entilating shafts' from the west. or churchyard side was found to contain so much more carbonic acid gas than air admitted from the east or Lime-street side, that it had been found necessary to close all the ventilating apertures on the former side, and use oril who were yth opposite the railway station. The ere finishin g the buildings on th e ea st side lost money th roug h the i r wor kme n b e i ng serious ly contractors affected by the foul air. Indeed when painting in rooms on the east side, the workmen preferred keeping the windows closed, and enduring the injurious f umes o f turpen tine and white lead, to inhaling the still mor e nox i ou s gases admitted from the churchyard if the window was left open. The lime in the stone work and brick walls also acted as a conductor for the bad air, which, by that means, perforated every avenue of the building, so that when rooms on the east side were opened, every morning the smell in them was very bad indeed. The beautiful brass work on the doors of the hall, and, indeed, all metal throughout the building was not only tarnished, but in many places gas pend an t s were rap i dly corroding• In addition to this, it was found that the cisterns adjoining the hall were tainted to a dangerous degree. Mr. Mackenzie suggested that interm en t s s h ou ld h e immediately stopped. The evidenc3 on the part of Dr. Taylor was intended to refute certain allegations as to the number of bodies paced in one grave, the breaking up of old coffins, &c. The rev. gentleman strongly maintained the right of continuing interments, at least, in the family vaults, which will probably be acceded. 'I he report of Dr. Holland will, of course, not be made public, until it has been submitted t o the Home-office, and if it is, as expected, adverse to the continuance of interments in St. John's churchyard, an Order in Council will probably be issued to atop them for the future. office.
