THE DAY'S NEWS. We have not yet received any further telegraphic news from India. It was fully expected that it would have reached us ere this, but we may at any moment be put in possession of despatches from Trieste. It would appear that the Austrian steamer which leaves Alexandria on the arrival of the Overland Mail, had not reached Trieste at seven o'clock yesterday morning, The passage is generally made in a period, say of 112 to 120 hours, and it is therefore probable that the mails from Bombay had not reached Alexandria from Suez up to the morning of last Friday. The mails by the Nubia from Calcutta, had consequently been detained four or five days by the non-arrival of the Bombay mail. The news from Delhi via Bombay will probably be eight or ten days later than that already received by the Nubia. The steamer Cadiz was to bring the Bombay mail to Suez—she should be there on the .1.9:h inst. The Nulo',a was due at Suez the same day, but she reached some days before her time. The Cadiz is a fast steamer. The Vectis will bring the Marseilles portion of the Bombay and Calcutta mails from Alexandria. If the Cadiz arrived at Sac z at her proper time, the Vectis will reach Marseilles to-day, and the mails will be delivered in London on Saturday. General Windham will reach Calcutta about the Brd of October.' The European, with the Austra lian mail, should call at Point de Galle on the 7th inst., about a week after the Nubia left there with the Calcutta mail. The Peninsular ant Oriential Company have 23 steamers in the Indian S?as, seven of which are in the Government transport service. If any very important event took place soon after the depar ture of the Calcutta and Bombay mail, it is possible that such news would be sent to Ceylon to be sent home by the Australian mail steamer, European, and it could be telegraphed from Marseilles this day week, or from Cagliari much earlier. News from Bombay via Cagliari, may be also hourly expected. A paragraph in the Despatch, received here on Saturday, which simply stated that all the troops in Oude had mutinied, is regarded as a most serious disaster by the Paris Pays 9f last (Wednes lay) evening, which says that the army of Oude consists of 30,000 men, and that it had put itself in communication with the in surgents at Delhi. The truth, however, is, that the mutiny commarced in the Kingdom of Oude, even before it broke out at Meerut. On the 7:,h of May the 7th Regiment of Oude Irregu lars mutinied ; and on the sth. five days before the revolt at Meerut, their example was followed by a regiment of Sepoys. Messrs D. and C. Myer last evening received a telegraph from Southampton, announcing the arrival of the European and Australian Royal Mail Company's steamer Oneida. This ship's machinery broke down on her first voyage from Australia to Suez with ihe mails. She returned to Sydney, where she received temporary repairs, and has been sent home to be thoroughly overhauled. She left Melbourne about the sth May, and has consequently taken about 110 days for the run home. The usual weekly meeting of the West Derby Guardians was held yesterlay, but the proceedings Were unimportant. Mr. C. P. Melly requested leave to erect t drinking fountain at the wall of the hospital, which request was granted. At our police court yesterday, Mr. John Doherty, who was recently extensively in the corn trade in Liverpool, and who became bankrupt, was placed in the dock, charged with obtaining some £3,000 under false presences. He was committed for trial on the charge by Mr. Mansfield, who, how ever accepted bail to the extent of £l,OOO for his appearance. _ _ _ The proceedings in the Assize Courts yesterday do not call for comment. A case of Breach of Promise of Marriage ended in a verdict of da mages £lOO. In another column will be found the opinion of several gentlemen, eminent in the scientific and engineering world, respecting, the recent disaster to the Atlantic Telegraph cable, and as to the likelihood of another effort to lay down the cable proving successful. The commanding officers of the ships that formed the telegraph squadron say positively that there is no nautical or physical obstacle in the way of the entereeze, and that the cable already adopted by the company will en tirely answer the purpose. They recommend, however, some improvements in the machinery that was employed to lay the cable down, and they deny that any under or surface currents exist be tween the Irish and Newfoundland coasts to interfere with the safety or working of the cable. The engineers of the company, speaking of the cable, say that it is 80 well suited for deep water that they cannot recommend any change whatever. Professors Morse and Thomson and mr. Whitehouse report that every experiment male vtth'the cable, and every test to which it has been .awniacted demonstrates its perfect adaptabi!ity, So tar all this testimony is satisfactory to the public; but what we still want is a clear account of the unfortunate "accident" that brought the laying down of the cable to an end—so that there may be no misgivings as to future operation In addition, the comp any has received a somewhat flattering letter from the commanders of the American ships engbged in thi s service, showing how much cordiality exists be tween the English and American squadrons. An inquest upon the body of Mr. _Robertson, who died from waunds Inflicted upon him in the Queen's Bench Prison, by De Salvi, was held in London, on Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Dc Salvi, who has already been sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude, having been found guilty of wounding with intent to commit murder. He will now be tried on the capital charge. A few days ago, we recorded the fact of a row in the streets of Dudley, ending in the death of one of the combatants. The man who had stabbed the deceased was at once apprehended, and committed on - the charge of wilful' murder. On the morning of Monday, the prisoner committed suicide by hanging himself with his handkerchief to the bars of the prison window. A boiler explosion at Port Dundas, near Glas gow, on Monday evening, caused the instant death of two persons, and several were dangerously wounded. The Northampton postmaster has been appre hended on a charge of robbing letters of money and other valuables. The Trade and Navigation returns for the month of July, and for the first seve❑ months of 1857, were published yesterday. They show that the tide of national prosperity still flews at full strength. The prod.uce of the United Kingdom sent abroad, in July, 1855, was valued at 8,150,0001., in July, 1856, it was 0,068,0001., and in July, 1837, it amounted to 12,201,000/. The increase of the last month is therefore 33 per cent. as compared with the corresponding month of 1855, and about 20 per cent on that of 1856. During the seven months of 1857 we have exported British produce to the extent of 73,027,0001.; during the same period of 1856 we exported to the extent of 63,936,000/., and in 1855. to 51,262,0001. The increase on this portion of the year is, there fore, about 0,000,0001., as compared with 1856, and about 22,000,0001., when compared with 1855. In the import tables we find most of the articles of domestic use still consumed in large quantities, although tea is the only one of Vie principal com modities showing a considerable increase .as compared with last year. The navigation returns show an increase under nearly every one of the heads into which they are divided. The Moreiteur• of yesterday confirms the an nouncement made respecting the Moldavian elec tions. The Turkish Government has sent orders to the Cairnaican to proceed to new elections after a delay of fifteen days. By this arrangement, England and Austria may be said to be ignored, and it is surmised in Paris that their representa tives at Constantinople have done nothing towards re-establishing that unanimity of action agreed upon at Osborne between the Queen and the Emperor Napoleon. The report is revived of a meeting of the Emper3rs Napoleon and Alexander, and it is said that such meeting will take place in Germany next month. According to the last accounts from TelL?ran rather sharp struggle was going on between Mr. Murray and the Russian Ambassador. The Cattolico. the organ of the clerical party at Genoa, states- that the deputation of priests who were to proceed to Florence to present their hom age to the Pope will not go, for reasons beyond the control of the priesthood. The paragraph is so worded as to insinuate that the government has interfered to prevent the departure of the deputa tion. Several priests have been excommunicated lately by Lombard bishops, for denying that belief in the immaculate conception is necessary to salva don . . At Pavia four ecclesiastics, renowned for their erudition, morality, and charity, having been thus placed under ban, the people became in censed, and tore down the placards announcing the excommunication of those ►nen. The Canadian mail steamer Indian, has made another successful voyage from Quebec, bringing dates to the 15th inst. The American Association for the Advancement of Science had commenced their sittings at Montreal, and the city was full of savans and strangers from all parts of the United States and Canada. The Montreal Advertiser contains a furious attack on Mr. Galt, the eminent Canadian railway contractor, and on of the leading members of the Legislature. For merly the English contractors were the only subjects of attack, it, however, unfortunately happens for the promulgators of these political accusations against the personal honour of parties, that they are easily refuted when the whole facts are stated ; snd this will, no doubt, prove to be the case in this instance. Be this as it may, it is a pretty Canadian squabble as it stands between the successful and unsuccessful Canadian contractors. Mr. Gregory's report has recently settled the controversy, and the share holders of the Grand Trunk now find that for a sum under eight millions sterling they will'in 1860 be in possession of 900 miles of superior railway, with the Victoria-bridge commanding two of the finest seaport terminuses at Portland and Quebec to receive the vast products of the West, which next year will be partially re-paid by the, completion of the line to London. A most diabolical attempt had been made to blow up a Roman Catholic chapel, but fortunately no serious damage was done. From Ci,ifirnia we have late advices to the 20th instant. The reports from the Mining and agri cultural districts were of the best chdranter. In the Democratic State Convention, the Broderick party were defeated, and John W. W?ller was nominated for Governor. E. Stanley was nomi nated by the Republicans LORD PALMERSTON is about to exercise his prerogative as Premier, and recommend her Majesty to infuse a little fresh blood into the House of Lords, by the creation of a batch of new Peers. It is now some time since an act of the kind has taken place; occasionally there have been individual Commoners of considerable standing and influence rewarded with a Coronet for the steady support of the then existing Government. As long as we have a House of Lords, there cannot be any objection to the occasional exercise of the Royal prerogative by investing wealthy and popular members of the house of Commons with dignity, rights, and privileges of a Peer of the realm. Such crea tions tend to curb the bigoted and arrogant pretensions of heriditary legislators—noblemen who too frequently forget that other classes of statesmen exist whose services are of much greater value, and much more acceptable to the country than their own. Besides, constituted as the House of Lords now is—the Derby adherents being in the ascendant—Lord PALMERSTON has found it a difficult task to conduct the affairs of the nation with anything approaching smooth ness. This is patticularly the case when old and genuine Reformers, such as LordßrtousnAm, forget their first political love, and become scoffers of the very cause they were formerly wont to be the champions. Reasons such as these induce us to regard with approval the announcement that certain new Peerages are to be created, although every thing depends upon the men selected for the dignified honour, whether the character of the House of Lords will be exalted or degraded by the creation in question. In the selection of Commners for elevation to the House of Lords, it should be the policy of the Administration not to name any gentleman but such as has done service to the State, and who will, in his elevated position, be the advocate and expounder of Liberal princi ciples, the friend of the people, and the deter mined enemy of every thing which partakes of bigotry and class legislation. There should not be any toadying by the Premier after the support of the aristocracy, nor should territorial influence or the power of worn-out mercenaries of ea mita:fat ,alrs.--2.7bil Dan. t twelve o'clock, at the broker's °flee, Royal Bank-buildings, 150 casks Oil.— rhornewiil and Broom.

This system has been too long acted upon, and we are, to the present day, labouring under the injurious consequences of the Peerage creations of PITT, CASTLEREAGH, &c. Lord PALMERSTON has the vicious conse quences of these examples before him to guide him in his proposed selection. His object should be to break down that intolerable bigotry which has so frequently defeated every previous attempt at Jewish Emancipation. Instead of pandering to class ambition, he has it in his power to contribute to the upper branch of the legislature an element of real stability, qualifying it for the calm and dispassionate consideration of all measures of political and social progress, and for ever prostrating the dead deformity of factious ignorance, which has so frequently marred all measures of reform both in Church and State. Who are the parties named for the new coronets ? At present we are certain that Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR is one. To these we hear that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord HARRY VANE, and Mr. COMPTON CAVENDISH are named. Another list contains the names of Mr. BAINES, • Mr. SOTFIERTON ESTCOURT, Sir BENJAMIN HALL, and others. Now, we do not suppose that there can be any serious objection urged to any of the foregoing names. At the same time we cannot help think ing that the claims of Lord ROBERT GRO-VENOR or Mr. COMPTON CAVENDISH are by no means equal to many other commoners on both sides of the Speaker's chair. As to Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, he may he an ornament to the House of Lords; his removal to that branch of the legislature cannot be deemed a loss to the Commons, where, although his intentions were good, he never made any great impression either in or out of Parliament, if we except his famous Beer Bill, which, by the way, created a kind of petty insurrection in the metropolis. Lord HARRY VANE and Mr. COMPTON CAVENDISH, should they be elevated to the peerage, will find themselves more at home in the Lords than in the bustling and exciting precincts of the Com,- mons With regard to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, his elevation to the peerage would, we have e no doubt, be popular with the country, as a reward for his . long and earnest exertions in the cause of reform. Besides, his character and influence in the Peers would be of an important and useful character. His political sagacity, and the fact of his valu able services to his country, would, no doubt, induce the upper branch of the Legislature to respect his counsels and opinions. We cannot agree with many of our cotemporaries who think that Lord JOHN'S late public conduct is unworthy of such a distinguished statesman. He has, no doubt, a strong amount of ambition. He may yet long for the Premiership. This is not a fault. Believing, then, that his lordship merits the distinction, should he accept it, we think Lord PALMERSTON will confer a benefit on the nation by placing a Peer's coronet over the brow of the author of the Reform Bill, and the Test and Corporation Acts. AMUSEMENTS. . THEATRE RoyAL.—Milrnan's tragedy of " Fazio" was peiformed in the Theatre Royal last night. Miss Cushman represented the heroine Bianca, and Mr. Rider appeared as Fazio. The character of Bianca was first made sac cese'ul upon the English stage by Miss O'Neill. It may be said to have been revived some years since by Miss Cushman, who made her first appearance in London as the jealous Italian wife. Perhaps the intrinsic merits of the drama will never give it a standard position in literature, but it has much stage-power, and sadden alternations of fierce pession and pathos,,Wilich render it eminently qualified to enable the actress, who assumes the leading character, to display to the utmost advantage the p ewer of embodying the workings of an impetuous and fiery nature. Within the last few days we have had the pert of Bianca perf rmed upon our stage by one who is confessedly among the very greatest actresses of pest or present time; and, however profitless such comparisocs in general rn-iy be, it would have been difficult for a syeeta'er to keep from a continued mental comparison of the Bianca of Madame Ristori with that of Miss Cushman. We shall not enter into an analysis of the manner in which each actress re alized her conception. Tire two perfor mances wer a in meny respects, strikingly dissimilar, and an attempt at comparison would involve too lengthened a description. Bar, notwithstanding the almost unrivalled position which public opinion has given to Madame Ristori among the actresses of the present day, we can scarcely be lieve that any of the audience last night came away with the impression that the Bianca_ of Miss Cushman was an inferior performance. The peculiarities of expression and manner which belong to en Italian, gave Madame Ristori an advantage, ie making every please and rapid transition cf mood which the characterdisplays, ep leer simple, natural, and life-like. .But there are scenes of p scion and of grief in which, we think, Miss Cushman could not be surpassed- In the scene wlrere the first suspicion that her husband has met her rival, flas'ees upon her mind, Miss Cushman was, 1 in our opinion, more vivid, and not Las natural, In the painful scene, where the wife prostrates her se'f before AldqbeVa, the bitter sense of humi liation, thrilling through every trembling gesture, and broken accent, sunk with a deeper sense of pathos into the hearts of the au ILnce when Mies Cushman was the performer than when Madame Ristori assemed the part. Perhaps in the mal scene, which elute the play: Madame Ristori was more startling, but her ac`ing seemed to us sometimes to pass the line within which the closest imitation of human suffering should he caefi red upoa the stage, and to be. come occasionally revolting and abhoreut to the ,si;ht. Miss Cushman appeared never to forget that the madness of Bianca may be represented with perfect faith fulness to the part and to nature, without heatieg upon it all the shocking and hideous accompaniments which sometimes make the utmost horror of the bedlam ward. A coniparicon might be drawn between the two actresses in almost every scene. We shall merely, however, content ourselves with repeating the', taken as a whole, we think Miss Cushman fully sustained a rivalry with the great Italian actress who so recently astonished and delighted the public of Liverpool. Mr. Ryder played Fazio with spirit and feeling, although perhaps occasionally some what over-vehement. Mr. Baker played the old miser, Bartolo, admirably. Miss CUSHMAN'S FAREWELL PERFORXANCD.-011 Fri day night Mies Cushman will v. 0414 her (ant appearauce in England p'. - evious to her rdturn to America. She will appear as Lady Afacheth. MR. DAVlD,Flsugg.—This very talented performer takes his benefit to-night. He will appear as Charles Surface, in the "School for Scandal," a part which we think pecu liarly qualified to display his vivacious and sparkling humour. THE COURT, &c. 09111RNS, AUGUST 25.—Yesterday her Majesty gave ;he annual Fete in honour of the Prince Consort's birth day, to the seamen of the Royal Yachts, the Trinity House, Coast Guard men, and detachment of Infantry, stationed at East Cowes, and the labourers and workpeople employed on the Osborne estate. Dinner was prepared for nearly 600 persons, who sat down at three o'clock in tents erected for the occasion. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by Prince Alfied, the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, came on to the ground and inspected the dinner, and subsequently took their places in a marquee to witness rustic games and tp)rts which took place. The Queen. the Prince Consort, and the royal family remained till seven o'clock. Lady Churchill, Lady Caroline Barrington, the Hon. Lucy Kerr, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, and the gentlemen in waiting wale in attendance. The Bands of the Royal Marines and 66th Regiment played during the afternoon. The dinner party in the evening included Lady Caroline Barrington, Rear-Admiral Martin, and Captain the Hon. J. Denman. Tau QUEEN AT CUERBOURG.—The Cherbourg journals give some details of the late visit of Queen Victoria to that port :—Her Majesty and Prince Albert were accom panied by Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa. Immediately after the royal yacht entered the roadstead, Rear-Admiral Count de Gourdon, the Maritime Prefect, went ou board to pay his wspects to her Majesty, and had the honour of being invited to dinner. The news of the Queen's arrival was not known until the following morning, when the whole town was in movement, expecting the landing of the royal party. The vessels in the roadstead, the public buildings and a number of private houses, were orna mented with flags. fAt a rather early hour, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal children, landed under a salute from the ships in the harbour and from the forts, and having visited the different parts of the dockyard, entered carriages prepared for them, and proceeded to Montague-du-Roule. whence her Majesty and party were enabled to enjoy an extensive panoramic view of the town, the port, and the surrounding country. After the return of the royal:party to;the.Victoria and Albert to lunch, M. Duregne, the Sub-Prefect, and M. Lude, the Mayor of Cherbourg, went .on board v and`presented ate address to her Majesty, expressive of the delight of the" inhabitants at being honoured with her visit. The Mayor said— " Madam, and most gracious Sovereign, the town of Cherbourg, of which I have the honour to be Mayor, is happy this day to see the realisation of the hope which it for a moment cherished last year. I avail myself of the great honour of being presented to your Majesty to express a hope that I may be permitted to lay at your feet the respectful homage of -my fellow-citizens. The 18th of August will ever be is their remembrance a precious and memorable day." The Queen replied in a meat gracious manner, telling the Mayor that " she was last year on the point of visiting Cleerbourg, and that she now congratulated herself on having been able to yealize her intentiar, since she had seen the magnificient works accomplished at that poet, with a perseverance that did honour to the engineering skill of France." In the afternoon Her Majesty again landed, and visited the breakwater, after which she paid a second visit to the dockyard under fresh salutes from the batteries. After a rather long examination of different parts of the establish ment, the Royal party re'urned on board the Royal yacht to dinner, at which, in addition to the Royal family and Prince de Leiningen, were present by special invitation— Admiral Count de Gourdon, General d' Herbillon, Inspector- General of Infantry, General the Marquis de la Place, General Threl de B-erz:l, Captain the lion. J. Dennian, and Mr. Horace 11a:remote], Her Majesty's Consul at Cherbourg. In the evening the field officers and staff of the garrison went on board, and were received by Her Majesty. Queen Victoria is the first sovereign of England that has visi:ed Cherbourg since the time that Normandy belonged to Great Britain. The last English monarch seen under the walls of Cherbourg was Henry V., in 1420. The reigning Duchess of Farms, who lately paid a visit with her children to the imperial family of Austria, is now at Frohsclorf with her brother the Count de Chambord. The King of the B.Agians, who is traveling incog. under the title of Count d' Ardennes, will be absent from Belgium for about three weeks. His Majesty arrived at Bonn en the evening of Saturday, and was immediately visited by the Prince of Wales. The King, on the follow ing day, was to proceed up the Rhine in a Steamer. FETE AT BOULOGNE.—The .Boulogne Gazette gives a programme of the religious ceremonial and procession which are to celebrate the completion of the dome of the cathedral of Notre Dame on Sunday next, the 30th just. At 10 a.m. there will be pontificial high mass in the cathedral, in presence of upwards of 15 archbishops and bishops of the Galilean church, headed by the Cardinal Archbishop of P inis,and two other cardinals. At tw o p.n. the procession will leave the cathedral and proceed by the principal streets of the town to the sea-shore, whence it will return to the cathedral by another route. The statue of.the Virgin, nine feet in height, which is to be placed on the dome, will then be uncovered, aad a discourse delivered by Cardinal de Villecourt. The procession will be composed of several thousand persons, and besides the clergy there will be deputations from the different parishes and corporation?, not only of Boulogne but of all the neighbouring towns, and emb'ematical groups representing the principal incidents in the life of the Virgin. The whole procession will be marked by great magnificence and variety, and should the weather prove propitious will be very interesting as a revival of the customs of the middle ages. All catholic France takes interest in the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Boulogne, which has now been in progress for 30 years, and has proceelcl a rapidity no less than wonderful, when it is considered that the work has been entirely executed by voluntary contributions, and under the direction of a private vidual (I'Alehe ffceingu , ), without government aid of any sort, beyond the liberal private contribution of the Emperor. A msgaifident grand altar, in mosaic, the gift of Prince Torlonia, is now being constructed at Rome for the Cathedral of Botlogne. On Saturday 29th, the day previous to the fete, the Archbishop of Paris is to lay the first stone of a new church, which is to be erected in the manufacturing gnarter of Boulogne, where, as yet, the rapidly increasing pepuletion has been deprived of church accommodation. The approaching fete hes already brought a perceptible increase to the usual number of visitors to Boulogne at this s?ason of the year, both of sight-seers and of persons more directly interested in the forthcoming pageant. ROBBERY or £lO5 AT BRADFORD.—On Sunday morn ing, a man named R•ihert Burnett, well known as a pig jobber, residing in Reform -street, Bradford, intended to proceed to ',peck to pay—Sunday though it was—an accotint of £lO6 to another pig jobber, named Peter ar , se. All was ready for his departure, and the money, in cash and note; laid out opt nly teore the eyes of a nephew, about eighteen years of age, named Emanuel Burnett, The owner, Lm.ever, had occasion to retire for a few minutes to another part of th.+ house, and on his return, the nephew and the money w,re both gone. Barnett imtnediattly comittunicited with the police about the matter, but up to ves . erday no trace of the fugitive had been found. As it is expected he will endeavour to leave the country, infor mation of the affair has been sent to all the principal sea twee, from which he would be likely to sail either to America or Australia. IXTHAT is COMING to LIVERPOOL on the Vv 81st instint ?—Why, THE GREATEST NOVELTY IN THE WORLD: WHERE IS IT TO BE SEEN? THAT'S TUE QUESTION, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, THE MOLDAVIAN ELECTIONS. FRANCE. PARTS, WEDNESDAY. The Moniteur of this morning announces that the Turkish Government has seat to the Caima can of Moldavia orders to annul the elections which lately took place in that proviim), , i-to revise the electoral lists in the sense of the interpre tations agreed on at Bucharest, and to proceed to new elections after a delay of fifteen clays. The diplomatic relations which had been broken off between the representatives of _Fiance, Russia, Prussia, and SArdinia, on the one part, and the Porte on the other, will very shortly be resumed. The Emancipation of Brussels gives the following explanation of the reasons the resolutions come to at Osborne have not received their full execution, as far as regards the resumption of diplomatic relations at Constantinople. It says : The Cabinets of London and Vienna, afcer having con sented at the request of France to call, like the other Powers, for the annulment of the elections of Moldavia, hsve not thought it necessary to recall their ambassidoes. On the other hand, notwithstanding the difficulties of a situation which obliges them to support a system which they had warmly opposed, Lord Stratford de Re - !cliffe and Count de Prokesch do not appear in any way disposed to tender their resignations. It was therefore indispensable to find a combination which would at the same time satisfy actual necessities and show sufficient consideration to general susceptibilities. Acc:rding to the Augsburg Gaxette this is the course to be pursued. Austria and England having each demanded from the Parte tne annulment of the elections of Moldavia, the government of the Sultan will no longer hesitate to proceed to fresh elections, and will hasten to make known its resolutions to France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia. The above four powers will afterwards authorise their representstivts to resume their diplomatic relations with the Turkish government, giving it their assurance that their only objet was to secure the strict execution of the treaty of Paris, without having the slight, st intention to interfere in the in'ernal affairs of Turkey. The diplomatis, rupture will then give place to the resumption of friendly relations between the Porte and the other European powers. The Austrian Cabinet has created the post of special attache at the embassy at Constantinople for military affairs, and it is to that post that Colonel do Lowenthal has been appointed, as stated. Wre.,have received Constantinople journals and letters of the 15th, but they contain but little of interest beyond what has been already pub lished. Aly Bey, private Secretary of Mehemet Ali Packa, - and member of the Chanlery of the Divan, had embarked on his way to Paris, Berlin, and Turin, It had been intended that he should be the bearer of auto graph letters from the Sultan to the Emperor Napoleon, the King of Prussia, and the King of Sardinia, but these letters with which the Sultan was much occupied, would be sent on a future day. The functionary who is to convey the same mess age to the Emperor of Russia had not yet been selected. The recent diplomatic rupture had a very unfavourable effect on commerce. The sudden rise in the rate of exchange had caused very serious losses. The Pays, which daily publishes the most trashy fabrications, ticketed as new from India, actually has the audacity to print the following : . " The cmclusions we deduce from the Indian news published by the London journals is, that the English press displays on this occasion, as on others, neither moderation nor truth." In the meanwhile, the Pays publishes, as a semi-official paragraph, the nomination of General Rose to a command in India—a fact made known by the London journals some twenty-five days ago ; it also announces the defection of the army of Oude. To-morrow it will doubtless record the melancholy demise of her Majesty Queen Anne. The noble sportsmen who depart on Sunday mornings into the country, provided with correct hunting costumes, with dogs and guns and trum pets, and even with game-bags, complain that the shooting is very bad this season. The partridges are few in number and of unsatisfactory size; they are, moreover, particularly shy—that is, accordinti to the opinions of the said noble sportsmen. Ir, would appear, however, in reality that game is far from abundant this year, and that the hopes of a fine shooting season have already been abandoaed. PERSIA. . The following is taken from the Constantinople correspondence of the Osservatore Triestino Mi'Vl Aga, the Sadrazan or Piiine Knister ,c)f the Shah, visited Mr. Murray on his arrival at Teheran, the latter complained that the .Persian government had not only not evacuated Herat,- but had reinforced the garrison of that city, although England had fuifilled all the conditions of the treaty. The Sadrazan replied that as Prince Murad Mirza had repeatedly refused to quit Herat, troops had been sent to force him to do so. Mr. Murray was dissatisfied with the answer, and peremptorily demanded the immediate evacuation of Herat, and the withdrawal of the army commanded by Murad Mirza from its precincts. SARDINIA AND NAPLES. The - re is bad blood between the Courts of Turin and Naples, and diplomatic intercourse has become envenomed. The bone of contention is the steamer Cagliari, and the Sardinian passengers who were captured on board of her. Piedmont insists that ship and prisoners should at once be given up, and, certainly, if the published accounts be strictly correct of the manner in which the Cagliari was taken possession .of by the Mazzinians, the persistence is reasonable, and should be complied with. But Naples is said to have replied to the demand by an insinuation that the Piedmontese government might have done more than it did to prevent the recent revolutionary attempts in Italy. Thus, at least, it has been stated in certain foreign papers. I am assured that the King of Sardinia is dispoSed to carry matters with a high hand, and he is said to be deter mined, if Naples refuses his request, not only to wjthdraw his Ambassador, but also to declare war. One has difficulty in believing that he would so promptly adopt so strong a measure. I need hardly point out that, if he did, the affair would be most serious, and might very probably be fatal to the peace of Europe. Atatria would at once side with Naples. Austria, however, is by no means desirous of seeing things come to such a pass, and is doing her utmost to make up the quarrel. The latest accounts received in Paris are a shade more favourable than the preceding ones to a peaceable settlement of the quarrel, but there still are grounds for some little uneasiness. • EXTENSIVE ROBBlLlY.—lnformation was received at the metropolitan police stations, on Tuesday, that a young man, named James Coleman, had absconded from Liverpoel, tar ink with him the sum of £217 12s 6.1.. which he had been sent to pay into the bank for his employers. COLLINTY EXPLOSION, NEAR BURS!.X3I.—A most terrific colliery explosion took place on Manday night, about twenty minutes past seven o'clock, at the Sneyd Colliery, in the occupation of Messrs C. and J. May, at the pit known as the Rovvhurst Mine. It appears that the man whose duty it is to attend to the horses left in the mine, had s )me few minutes prior to the explosion been drawn up. Ile says that he did not then perceive any unusual accumulation of foul air, but a few minutes only had elapsed when one of the most violent explosiona ever heard in the neighbourhood took place, the flash of fire rising some forty feet above the top of the shaft, blowing away , orne portions of the shaft gearing. Fortunately, there happened to bo no men in any of the workings at tho time, but dine v,luable horses are supposed either to have been burt.t to death or suffocated. Several persons about the mouth of the shaft, which is 300 feet deep, had narrow escapes of being seriously injured by the falling timbers. Many thousand people quickly repaired to the scene of the disaster. Oa Tuesday morning, a second explosion took place about half-past two o'c ock, suite as loud and violent as the first one. Many attempts have been anode by some of the most daring miners employed in the col , iilry to descend the pit, bat their attempts were unsuccessful.
