OVERLAND MAIL. AUSTRALIA, INDIA, AND CHINA. The steamship, Cambria, arrived at Marseilles on Saturday morning, from Alexandria, with Austra lian, India, and China mails. The Australian mails were brought to Suez by the steamer, Columbian, which reached that port on the 28th of May; and the India and China mails were brought by the steamer, Nubia, which reached Suez at midnight of the same day. AUSTRALIA. The Columbian brings dates from Sydney to the 11th, Melbourne to the 15th, and King George's Sound to the 24th of April. She also brought 59 passengers, and 18 boxes of specie, valued at £48,000 The Oneida was to sail on the Ist of May for England. The Simla left Galle on the 15th of April, for Melbourne ; all well. The following vessels had sailed from Mel bourne :—For Loudon, March 20, Francis Henty, 24,732 oz. ; 25th Kent 62,221 oz. ; April 6, Rox burgh Castle, 30,626 oz. For Liverpool, April 4, Champion of the Seas, 32,831 oz. ; the Tudor, for Liverpool, had returned to Hobson's Bay ; April 7, dismasted.

Flour from 16s to 18s. Wheat from 5s 6d to 7 s 9d. From Melbourne we learn that parliament was to re-assemble on the. 15th April. The new ministry is reported not to be popular. Four only of the members of Mr. O'Shanassy's Ministry out of seven had obtained ssats in the Assembly. A vote' of want of confidence was spoken of, with the adhesion of many who contributed to turn out the late Ministers. Trade at Melbourne was very dull, from the apprehension of large imports. Government Five per Cents. 1001, The production and export of gold continued at the average rate. The Gold Market is quiet, prices ruling from £3 16s to £3 19s 6d. The quantity of gold brought down by escort during the week, was below the average. The qantity shipped this year is 682,819 ounces. The export market is fully maintained. Wool sells from 10d to 23d per cwt; Tallow from 43s to 46s per ton. Freights rule 31(1 to 31d per ounce gold' and id per cent. wool. Exchange on London at 2 per cent. prem. INDIA The dates brought by the Nubia are :—Bombay, 12th May; Calcutta, 4th May Madras, 9th May; Ceylon, 13th May; and Hong Song, 25th April. The expeditionary force was to remain in Persia three months after the ratification of the treaty of peace, which is to take place at Bagdad on the 4th of June, under the authority of the Hon. Mr. Murray. The head quarters staff and .the first division will remain at Bushire, and the second at Mahamra. The news of peace has caused universal dissatisfaction in the camp, and there is an extreme anxiety to return to India. atiThe weather continues, upon the whole, favour able, the nights being pleasant and cool. A telegraphic despatch received at Bombay from Meerat states that the 3d Bengal Cavalry were in open mutiny. Several officers and men had been killed and wounded. • It was reported at Calcutta that a correspon dencPhad been discovered in possession of a na tive officer of the 34th Bengal Infantry proving the existence of a conspiracy for organising a general rising, of the entire army. The British mission to Affghanistan had reached Candahar. At Calcutta operations in exports continued restricted owing to light supplies, high prices, and enhanced freights. The import market had some what improved. Exchange on London, 2s. 10. to 2s. ltd. At Bombay the import market was rather dull. In exports there was little or no change. Freights were slightly lower. Exchange, 2s. lid. At Madras imports were, generally, steady ; exports were firm, and freights looking up. Ex change 2s lid to 2s lid. The proposed line of railway from Colombo to Kandy bad been favourably reported on. The exports of coffee from the Ist October amounted to 415,000 cwt. The crop is estimated at 500,000 cwt. staff. His Majesty wore the uniform of a gerlOral officer, with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. On his right was the Ring of Bavaria, who was in a light blue uniform, with the Grand Cordon of the same order. After the cortege came the Empress, accompanied by one of her ladies of honour, in an open caleche and four. After passing in frout of the lines the Emperor and his illustrious visitor took up their station on the rising ground opposite the grand stand, and the troops were put through several evolutions. The skirts of the ground were lined with skirmishers ; the infantry formed into hollow squares, the front ranks kneel ing as if to receive the charge of cavalry ; and the artillery took up a position, and unlimbered their guns, as if to prepare for an attack. While this was going on, the Empress alighted at the stand, where seats had been prepared for her. In a short time after, the Emperor and the King of Bavaria dismounted and joined her Majesty, with whom they remained conversing for about a quarter of an hour. During the time the Imperial party remained in the stand, the troops piled arms and took repose. The drums having again beat to arms the Emperor and the King placed themselves in front of the stand for the filing off, which took place in admirable order the various regiments marching at once off the ground to quarters. The cortege then returned to St. Cloud. . The Minister of Marine has received from Capt. Selva, of the Reine Hortense, a detailed account of the movements of that vessel while she had the Grand Duke Constantine en board. Before leaving Cherbourg his Imperial Highness was desirous of paying a farewell visit to the officers of the vessel, and after leaving 'the theatre at eleven o'clock at night, and through very unfavourable weather, he went on board and expressed in the most flatter. ing terms to the captain and other officers his kind feelings towards them, and the pleasing re membrance he should always retain of them as his shipmates. The Debats publishes some interesting sta tistics concerning the movement of the French population in 1853', from which we extract the following passages in reference to marriages and deaths : • The maximum of marriages takes place in February, and the minimum in March, the time of Lent. A. slight dimi nution is likewise noticed in the harvest months. The amount of education posseesed by the married couples has, we regret to say, been ascertained only in 82 departments, and in 256,663 marriages. Of this number, 170,172 hus bands were able to sign their names, as were 116,1 33 wives The remainder of the husbands and wives, or nearly a:third of the menand more thanhalf the women, who married in 1853, could neither read nor write. Of the above marriage 34 took place between nephews and aunts ; 107 between uncles and - nieces ; 629 between brothers and sisters in law ; 2,309 between first cousins. In 18538 '34,177 deaths were registered, representing a diminution of 14,419 on the preceding year. The months of June and July, which are signalised by the greatest number of births, are also the months when the fewest deaths occur. On the other hand, the month of March, when births are rare, is plentiful in deaths. Deaths occur more often during the day than during the night. In towns the majority of deaths take place in the afternoon, and in the country during the morning hours. A letter from Toulon of the 3rd inst. announces that the screw ship of the line Eylau had sailed for Algiers. It was believed at Toulon that the entire fleet under the command of Admiral Tiehouart would shortly follow. The following telegraphic despatches have been received : BELIN, Jim 4. The Kreuz Zeitung announces that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will arrive at Kiel on 3rd of July, and proceed thence to Gottingen and Darmstadt. The Czar and the Empress-Mother are expected on the 17th of July at Berlin. Prince Gortschakoff and Count Allerberg will accompany the Czar. TRIESTE, JUNE 4. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople to the 28th nit, but it is without interest. The representative of -France, supported by England and Russia, has intimated to Greece that she must re-establish her embassay at Faris, which she bad suppressed in her budget for reasons of economy. Greece has promised complia AD nce. MRID, JUNE 4. The treaty concluded between France and Spain for the settlement of the line of frontier of the Pyrenees has just been approved by the senate by a majority of 82 to 1. The senate is occupied with a new electoral bill, proposed by the Marquis de IVliraflores. It is not expected to pass. The bill on the press is extected. AUSTEIA. VIENNA, JUNE 2 A north German paper contains an interesting account of the reception of the Hungarian Protest ant deputation by their Majesties on the oth of last month. When the Lutheran and Calvinist clergy rendered homage to the Emperor and Empress on the sth they inquired whether the representatives of the " whole Evangelical Church" (corpus Evan gelicorum) would be permitted to pay their respects to his Majesty. The reply was in the affirmative, and, at three o'clock on the following day, the depu ties of the different " Superintendencies' presented themselves at the palace, where they were informed by one of the imperial adjutants I hat they would have an opportunity of addressing the Empress as well as the Emperor. The spiritual and temporal chiefs of the Lutheran confession were then introduced into the audience chamber, and after the lapse of a couple of minutes their Majesties appeared. The short speech of his Majesty was received with enthusiastic cheers, and the deputation left the audience chamber with the persuasion that the rights and privileges of the Hungarian Protestants would not be infringed on. The deputation of the Helvetic Confession—the Calvinists—which was subsequently admitted to the audience cham ber, was as kindly received as the Lutherans had been. Count Leo Thun, the Minister for Ecclesias tical Affairs and Public Instruction, was soon after summoned to Pesth, but it is not known what instructions he received. Some of the Paris correspondents have informed their employers that the principal object of the King of Bavaria in going to Paris was to effect a reconciliation between the Western Powers and Naples, but the statement obtains little credit here. His Bavarian Majesty is extremely desirous to have the question concerning the succession to the Greek throne settled, and he is probably endeavouring to persuade the Emperor of the French that it would be better for. Europe at large if a Roman Catholic reigned in Greece on the demise of King Otho. Prince Adalbert of Bavaria refuses to change his religion, and it is by no means probable that the Princess, his wife, who is a Bourbon, will permit any children that she may have to be brought up in the Greek faith. It is generally related that a " rapprochment" has recently taken place -between Russia and Austria, and there is some truth in the report, but ycn may be sure that the Emperor Francis Joseph will never become the satellite of the Emperor Alexander. The French Government has recently acted as if it wished to force Austria to return to her alliance with Russia, but it is not likely to succeed. As long as Austria is on good terms with England, she can hold her own against Russia, hut she cannot enter into an intimate alliance with her powerful neighbour without being obliged " to eat humble pie," a dish which is not to her taste There may soon be a reconciliation between the Russian and Austrian Courts, but many a long year is iikely to elapse before mutual confidence is restored. It is rutnoured here that Russia is about to dismiss about 150,000 or 180,000 men, but nothing p'ositive is known to me on the subject. The reproof addressed to the. Independence Belge by the Oesterreichisehe Correspondent runs as fol lows :—" The _lndependence Beige, which in more recent times has often permitted itself to be misled by wondrous reports and news, contains in its number of May 29th, a letter from Turin, which deserves especial notice as a specimen of ingenious combination, • based on self-created facts. The public is informed that the Imperial Royal Cabinet requested the Neapolitan Government to break off •its diplomatic relations with Sardinia, but met with a refusal. The Turin correspondent give the - .reasons - why the Neapolitan Court declined to accede, to the request of Austria, and peisifively knows that there is a great coolness' between the two Courts, which may soon lead to something of importance. Tlpa CHINA. No fresh operations had taken place in the Canton river. Yeh is said to be embarrassed from want of money. It is hoped that the Raleigh will be raised.

A private despatch from Constantinople an nounces that the Porte had demanded of th Belgian government the recall of its minister. The Belgian government has refused to comply with the demand.. It is expected,that before long there will be a suspension of diplomatic relations between the two governments. The cause of the dissension! is not mentioned. _ _ The telegraphic accounts received from the Danu bian Provinces announce that the result of the elec tions is Moldavia will, as far as can be known a' this moment, be unfavourable to the Unionist candidates. A letter from Galatz, of the 14th May, announces the arrival there of the Baron Talleyrand and the Chevalier de Benzi. In reply to an address pre sented to the French and Sardinian Commis sioners by the citizens of Galatz, expressing a wish for the union of the provinces, M. Talleyrand replied— Gentlemen,—l am strongly affected by the public ex pression of a wish which France was the first to acknow ledge, and which she will take into serious considerati( n at the futura congress of Paris. The Chevalier de Benzi replied :—Gentlemen,—You know the sympathy with which the government of my king is animated towards the Roman people. Full of confidence, you may conse trust that he will f avour your w i shes. pently The first electoral circular has made its appear ance. It is from M. Debrotonne, lately Deputy for the Aisne, who, with the support ()lithe Govern ment, asks for the votes of the electors in the arrondissment cf Vervins. The whole pith of the address may be summed up in the following phrase taken from it :—" I have but little to say to you. It is now a very long time that we are known to each other." The review of infantry yesterday at Longchamps, although not so imposing as that of the cavalry one on Tuesday, excited sufficient interest to draw torrghee ther a numerous assemblage of spectators. _ weather was delightful, and the heat was pleas antl y tempered by a refreshing breeze. A little before four, the troops began to take up their stations on the ground, and the effect was striking, as the heads of the different regiments were seen debouch ing from the roads leading out of the wood. The troops consisted of the infantry, engineers, gendarmes, and foot artillery of the Imperial • Guard. They were about 12,000 in number, under the Generals in command of the different brigades, and the whole under that of General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely. On coming on the ground they formed into three lines, extending from the mill towards St. Cloud. Pre cisely at five the roll of the drums announced the arrival of the Emperor, who entered the ground attended by a brilliant though not very numerous r()(I(Efl THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY,. ft:dependance congratulates the Neapolital Cabinet on the ' wise reserve' which it has displayed. Tye whole story is pure invention. Neither a demand nor a wish on the subject in question was expressed either to the Neapolitan or to any other Court. As no refusal could be given where there was no demand, the explanation and the conclusions drawn from the same are of equal value." SPAIN. MADRID, JUNE 1. The influences brought to bear, to envenom the quarrel between Spain and Mexico are such as to render it •by no means improbable that, unless England and France interpose their decided veto, hostilities will shortly break out. The doubtful creditors of the Republic, those, I mean, whose claims the Mexican Government declares ill founded, and urges Spain to admit to revision—leave no stone unturned to embitter matters. Senor Carrera, a Mexican,whc has got himself naturlized a Spaniard, who claims upwards of a million of dollars (claims transferred to him by Mexican subjects), and who was the agent of the body of creditors, but now is so only of the smaller half of them, is particularly active in mischief-making. He it is who wins over newspapers, works upon deputies, and various ways stirs the cauldron of discord. The motives of the doubtful creditors of Mexico for exerting them- selves to prevent an amicable solution of the ques tion at issue, are pretty evident. They fear a re vision which would greatly reduce their claims. In case of war, they are sanguine that Spain would triumph and Mexico be com pelled to submit to the terms dictated anti pay all demands. I, by no means accuse the Spanish Government of seeking war, or of being determined to risk it, rather than admit a fair inves- tigation of the claims which Mexico declares unjust, but if public opinion, excited and irritated by a portion of the press and by speeches in the Cortes, attains a certain force and violence, the Govern- meta can hardly help being, to some extent, in fluenced by it in the line of eonduct they adopt ; and the longer the question is allowed to drag on, the more dangerous become the manoeuvres of the anti-Mexican agitators, the greater the irritation and ill feeling, and themors powerful the pressure on the Cabinet. Unfortunately, the course adopted by this Government• is, precisely the one best calculated to protract the settlement of the difficulty. The cause of quarrel is the murder of some Spanish subjects, the ill-treatment and robbery of others ; and these outrages are alleged to have been committed—at least in part—by the troops or armed bands of Alvarez. Now, if the question were limited to this it might perhaps ,be easily settled. The Spanish Government demands the punishment of the offenders and compen sation for the injured. The first point Mexico at once concedes—not within eight days, as was arro gantly and imprudently demanded by Senor Sorela, but within such reasonable period as may be needed for investigation and for the action of the tribunals. Upon the result of such investigation must depend the question of compensation. If it be proved that Mexican troops or government officials are the authors of the excesses complained of, Mexico, as I am positively informed, admits that there is a claim for compensation. But if, on the contrary, it is shown that the crimes have been perpetrated by lawless ruffians and marauders, not in Government pay or employ, there is nothing in the law of nations to entitle Spain to insist on compensation for her injured subjects. It is certainly deplorable that, owing to the weakness of the Executive, or other causes, such outrages should have been perpetrated, and such bands of ruffians be suffered to infest the land, but foreigner's resident there must take the consequences of the situation, and not expect compensation which Mexi. can subjects would have no right to claim. But, be sides the question of the San Vicente and Cuernava - ca outrages, the Spanish government brings forward all its other claims and causes of complaint against Mexico, and demands their settlement before diplomatic relations shall be resumed. This is, to say the least, an unwise course. The plain and prudent one would be first to settle the most irri tating point in dispute, that out of which the rup ture of diplomatic intercourse arose, and then, when the present heat should be allayed, and Senor Latragua, now here_as a negeotiator, (that is to say, in an officious rather than an official character,) should have been recognised as the Mexican Minister Plenipotentiary, the Older questions in dispute might be discussed, and, with temper, moderation, and fair play on both sides, might, doubtless, be amicably adjusted. This, however, is not the view taken by the Spanish Go vernment, which insists on lumping its grieiances, and, pending their settlement, makes warlike pre parations, and suffers the press and Opposition orators, stirred by various, and, there is reason to fear, in some cases, by discreditable and unpatriotic incitements, to rouse a feeling of hatred and hos tility to Mexico, and bring Spain to the brink of a war. The tone of some of the Madrid papers is most irritating and intemperate. In their columns one finds the terms caribs, barbarians, savages, &c daily applied to the Mexicans. With the censor ship that exists such offensive terms could not be employed without the consent of the Govern ment and the natural inference (although, perhaps, not strictly correct one) is that it approves this aggravating course, and is not dis inclined to the appeal to arms to which it may probably lead. The Good offices, strenuously exerted, of the English and French Ministers at Madrid, have as yet been without effect, and, as I have already informed you, matters are for the moment at a standstill, and the parties interested await the arrival of.the next mail from Mexico with the rather vague hope that it may bring something or other hat will facilitate the settlement of the question. It may very possibly bring news of the condemnation, and perhaps of the punishment lof some of the - persons guilty of outrages on Spanish subjects, but it cannot be expected to bring the solution of the question of compensation, of that of the claims of Spanish creditors, and of the various other matters which Spain hits thought proper to associate in her demands for satisfaction. Lord Howden yesterday gave a magnificent ban quet to the Prince and Princess Galitzim Thirty five persons sat down to dinner. Marshal Narvaez was indisposed, and, at the last moment, found himself unable to be present. Senor Pidal, the Marquis de Target, and other members of the Diplomatic Corps, Senor Isturitz (who is on the eve of departure for Russia), Senor Gonzales Bravo, General Lemery (Captain General of New Castile), and other persons of distinction, were present, The dinner was followed by an evening reception. their request, but without success. At length the following evening, after waiting three hours, they were admitted when the Pope was retiring to rest. The meeting was consequently short, and was confined to an exchange of compliments. The municipality of Perrugia was admitted to the pre sence of the Pope at the last moment, and' when they began to speak it was announced that his carriage was waiting, and the deputies were forced to withdraw without having executed their com mission. The writer of the letter adds . As to the reception which the population:in general gave His Holiness, it was silent and respectful, but there was no demonstration of enthusiasm. They gratefully received the benediction of the Pontiff, but they showed no mark of affection for the Sovereign. It is to be hoped that his journey may prove to His Holiness that his ministers have represented the state of the country in a false point of ♦iew, and that he will do well to make the changes in the Government which are so much required. A letter from Turin of the 3d inst. announces that the Minister of the Interior has given orders that the body of the Protestant which was refused sepulture in the churchyard of Fara, shall be dis interred and buried within the consecrated ground. JUNE' 8, 1857. ITALY. A letter from Rome, of the 26th ult., states that Monsignor Berardi has obeyed to the letter the in structions of Cardinal Antonelli--that is, he is con stantly near the person of the Pope, and prevents him from having - any direct communication with those of his subjects who might respectfully explain to him the truth as to the deplorable situation of the country. At Perrugia, for instance, His Holi ness was earnestly entreated by an inhabitant (his devoted adherent) to .prolong his visit one day, and the Pope consented, but Monsi g nor Berardi observed to his Holiness that if he did so the order of his journey would be altered. The Pope was forced to change his resolution. During his stay at Perrugia, Mqnsignor Berardi prevented the citizens from Approaching his Holiness, .and the forty-six hours he remained there were spent in visiting the convents. The deputa tions from some municipalities only were suffered to approach the Pope to kiss his feet. They were not permitted to speak. These deputations might have mentioned many facts which would astonish the Holy Eather, and en lighten him on many points as to the system of government practised in his name. This is the explanatoin of the hasty manner in which the deputations from the municipalities were ad mitted into the Pope's present. The municipal de putations from the city of Orvieto, with the Bishop at its head, solicited in Vain the honour of a re caption. They waited an en tire, day, and repeated NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The accounts received from the various parts of France lead to the belief that the crops this year will give a most abundant produce. The rain which fell some short time back, far from doing harm, has kept the growing corn in a most desirable state of freshness, and its luxuriance is at present grate unusual. As to the vines, the growers are agreed in opinion that the frosts which occurred late in the spring were attended with hut littie damage. The news from the departments, of the state of the vineyards, contiaues to be highly satisfactory, and hopes seem at last, well-founded of a lair supply of this year.

Seymour attended on horse back. The Prince rode on horseback in the forenoon with the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by Col . F. H: Seymour. Prince Arthur and the Ptincesses Helena and Louisa took a drive in a carriage and four. Her Majesty had a dinner party in the evening. The company included the Earl and Countess Spencer, Lady Caroline and Miss Barrington, and the Dean of Windsor and' the Hon. Mrs. Wellesley. The Duchess of Sutherland, Major ' General the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey, and Colonel the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps had the honour of being invited in the evening. The members of the Cologne Choral Union had the honour of attending and perform— ing at Buckingham. Palace in the evening. TOUR OF THE PRINCE or WALES.—We understand that the Prince of Wales will in the course of the summer make a tour on the Continent, residing for about six weeks •on the banks of the Rhine, at Keenigswinter, at the foot of the Drackenfels, where a commodious hotel has been en gaged for his royal highness. It is,expected that when the season advances his royal highness will proceed up the Rhine to Switzerland, for the purpose of visiting the Alps. His royal highness will travel incognito, under the title of Baron Renfrew. He will be attended by Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Lieutenant-Colonel Ponsonby, Mr. Gibbs, the Rev. Mr. Tarver, and Dr. Armstrong, R.N. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCIIESTEE—There is little doubt but that her Majesty will arrive in Manchester on the 29th, in which case the royal visit will be made on Tuesday, the 30th inst. It is not as yet decided whether the visit will be one of state or strictly private, but a strong and general feeling has been expressed among all classes in Manchester that the visit may be of a nature to enable the public to give her Majesty a loyal and hearty reception upon this her second visit to the great centre of manufacturing industry. Her Majesty and the Prince will be accompanied we believe by the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales, and two of the junior members of the royal family. PRESENT FROM Ksa MAJESTY TO THE 23 d,D ROYAL WELSH FUSILIERS.—Her Majesty the Queen has presented to the 23d Regiment of Royal Welsh Fusiliers a beautiful Cash mere goat, from the herd in Windsor great park, which was despatched on Wednesday last, under charge of Drum Major Knight and a drummer of the same regiment, to the head-quarters at Portsmouth. This is the fifth present of a similar kind made by her Majesty, as a special mark of her royal favour, to this distinguished regiment, the rest having died at various periods. One, which had become very docile and been trained to march before the regiment, died on its passage from the Crimea, since which time it has been replaced by another goat from Windsor great park, which also died a few weeks ago, and the present animal, which is perfectly white and two years old, is intended to replace it. It is well known that many regiments have various fancies for peculiar favour ites in animals or birds,.which have always been attached to them, such as deer, dogs, goats, monkeys ; even ravens have been adopted as pets of a regiment of Foot Guards. The last regimental pets seen at Windsor were a noble deer and an old goat with gilt horns, which used to take their position in front of the bands as the daily guards marched to and from the barracks and castle. MUSIC, DRAMA, &e. THE AMPITHEATRE.—We are glad to be able to state that tho engagement of Mr. T. C. King and Miss Marriott has been renewed for the present week. Among other parts Mr. King will appear as Macbeth, Miss Marriott as Lady Macbeth, and the tragedy being surrounded by all the gorgeous setting off of the spectacle effects which were made on former occasions to lend it their much-admired, but, we cannot help thinking, very questionable aid. Mr. King will appear during the week as Jacques, in " As You Like It," a part in which we are able to say he displays his cultivated and remarkable powers with the happiest effect. Miss Marriott will appear as Rosalind. Several other favourite plays are announced, and the additional attraction of Spanish minstrels and German dancers is secured. THE DIORAMA OF THE GANGES.—This remarkable work of art is still on exhibition► at the Upper Teutonic Hall, Lime Street, and we recommend every one having an interest in the scenery and customs prevalent in our Indian possessions to pay it a visit. Nothing can depict more powerfully, or delineate more deeply in the memory, the condition of India, physically and morally, than this beau tiful Diorama, which we look upon more as a means of giving instruction than an exhibition. We are glad to perceive that the proprietor of this work of art is acting with much liberality towards the various charities of Liverpool. On Friday the Deaf and Dumb Schools were admitted free to view the exhibition, and the Blue Coat School will have the same privilege this day (Monday). We believe that it is the intention of Mr. Sheffield, the pro prietor, to admit all the charities, in like manner, before closing. , Don Giovanni is to be produced at both opera houses. The cast at her Majesty's Theatre (where it will be pro duced on Thursday night), includes the names of Piccolo mini, Spezia, Ortolani, Giuglini, Beneventano, Belletti, Corsi, Vialetti. At the Royal Italian Opera the cast• is most " powerful." including Grist, Bosio, Marai, Ronconi, Formes, Polonini, Tagliafico, and Mario. On Saturday next Mdlle. Balfe will make her third appearance at the Royal Italian Opera, in La Somnambula. With a contemporary, we trust that Mr. Balfe's good sense will save her from the dangers of over-exertion. She is:evidently a delicate girl, and unable yet to undergo all the wear and tear of theatrical life. Mdlle. Spezia is advertised to act, as well as to sing, the Lorely finale, by Mendelssohn, on Wednesday next. Madame Ristori commences her representations at the Lyceum this evening with Medea. Besides the chief cha racters in which she appeared last season, four new pieces are to be produced, including an Italian adaptation of Lady Macbeth. The other tragedies are Gamma, a new work by Montanelli, lately produced in Paris by Madame Ristori, Ottavia, by Alfieri, aid Fazio. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rean's annual benefit takes place at the Princess's on the 22nd. Richard the Second is shortly to be withdrawn "to make room for another Shakesperian drama now in immediate preparation." Murphy's comedy All in the Wrong will be revived at the Olympic this evening. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will re-appear at the Adelphi on the 22nd, in a new farce by Sterling Coyne. M. Roger, the French tenor, is now in London, intend ing to take an early opportunity of making his appearance before the public. M. Jullien is announcing a ten days' festival at the Surrey Gardens, beginning on Friday next, to amuse such of the public as hive not had sound enough at Sydenham. He undertakes to give the Creation and the Seasons and Signor Rossani's Stabat Mater and the Messiah—and a Rossini Festival, and a Verdi Festival, and a Beethoven Festival, and a Mozart Festival—and for these he has engaged (to quote his programme), a " great " soprano, "an accomplished ditto," a popular English " ditto," " a new celebrated ditto, &c., &c. &c. &c., with all manner of solo players and other delightful and attractive personages. " Dress is the privileged topic of a gossip—and I thus," writes a correspondent of the Athenceum„ " take leave to submit a line on the subject, which is also a matter of history; to the managers of the Crystal Palace, the com mittee of the Sacred Harmonic Society, and the courtesy of English gentlewomen, who, ought to be one hundred years better bred than their great-grandmothers were. When Handers Messiah was produced at Dublin in the year 1741, the ladies were respectfully requested to attend the performance without their hoops. Would not au act of self denial in some degree corresponding to this greatly add to the comfort of the vast audiences that will assemble at Sydenham on the 15th and tollowing days ? " The sixth of the F'riday concerts and the fineness of the weather drew a numerous audience to the Crystal Palace on Friday last, and certainly it would have been almost impossible to select a better day for seeing the palace to advantage. The gardens are now in all the fresh loveli ness of early summer, and the bright green turf, and the placid waters resting in the basis of the fountains, are a pleasant relief to the hot glaring sun, which seems to threaten us with a long visit. The attractions of the day, at the Crystal Palace were, however, neither flowers nor fountains, but the artistes of the Royal Italian Opera. Madame Grisi sang " Al dote guidaini," . from Anna Bolena, in which she was encored, and the charming duet from Don Pasquale, " Tornang a dir," with Mario. Madame Bosio was warmly applauded in the "Caro mane," from Rigoletto, which she delivered with her accustomed brit. liancy of execution. Madame D.diee gave a careful ren dering of " Voi the sapete," from the Nous di Figaro. LES BOUFFES PARISIENS, under the enterprising _ management of Mr. Mitchell daily present new attrac tions. On Friday night two pieces were produced for the first time In a London audience. An opera comique, entitled L' Opera aux. Fenetres, the words by Halevy, charmingly set to music by Gastinel ; and an operetta bouffe, under the title of Six Demoiselles a. likeritr. A ?aris correspondent writes :—" The first fete de nuit of the season was given last night (Thursday) at the Pre Catalan, which has now eclipsed Ranelagh, Mobille Chateau des Fleurs, and all the out-door places of amusesnent in Paris and the environs. The principal entertainment consisted of a ballet by a numerous and excellent company of Spanish dancers in the Theatre des Pleura in the open air. When the weather is fine and warm, as it was last night, the theatre is really charming. You sit in boxes with azaleas and geraniums haore you, instead of velvet cushions, the curtain is of laurels inter spersed with flowers, the sylvan scenery. oa , the stage is M.

Tito Roman Catholies in Plymouth have for some time past had in course of erection; in a field leading to Eidatt a noble-looking struc tare, which was to .serge them , as a cathedral for the diocese of Plymouth; The building was raeidly progressing towards comple tion, and it was expected that it would be ready for consecration on the 4 , 11 Atignst next. The hope was entirely destroyed on Wednes day, for eerly in, the afternoon about half of the roof fell in with a tremendous crash, and the building, with its lofty western front standing apart'from the roof, which connects the transept with the chancel of the church, presents the appearance of a ruin. Happily no lives were lost The workmen hadthe.alarm - given in time, and they ran away as fast as their legs could carry them, the architect being the last to leave the building In the hurry he was knocked down, and received a slight contusion on the a-m, and it was almost mar vellous that he was not baried in the ruins. The whole of the buil ding at the time of the accident was roofed in, and everything was apparently going on well. The church was formed with side aisles, and from one end' to the other the roof, sshich was an extremely lofty one, was supported by arches which sprang from, pillars. These piilars wero formed"of Bath stone,and the arches springing from them were of brick. On , Tuesday. some defects were observed by Mr. Roberts, the builder, which caused him to telegraph Er Mr. Haasom. ' the architect, of Bristol, to come down immediately. That gentle man at once left for Plymouth,. visited the church, and saw enough to convince him that steps mast be immediately taken to secure the building. The Bath stone had proved too• weak for the weight which it had to sustain, and some of it had split. A number of mEn were set to work to shore•up the arches previously to re moving the defective work, which was found to be immediately over the piers, and consisted of brickwork and limestone. Before :these measures could be matured, the architect saw symptoms that the building was likely to fa, and he had only time to warn the men to leave the building, and ten to get away himself, when the four southern arches of the nave and the large eastern arch fell with a tremendous crash, br aging down with them the southern clerestory. A small portion of the nave roofstill remains, but it is far fro n secure. The disaster ceased a great sensation, and 'large numbers of persons have crowded to the spot to see the ruin.--Plyntoulh Journal. IMPORTANT Ta MA,STRRs nF VESSELS AND MERO HANTS. At the Southwark Police-court on Friday, Mr. Combs was engaged several hours in hearing evidence against Mr. John Huett, the master of the Hardwicke, a vessel re:ontly arrived at Horeelyclowe from Cronstadt, laden wth tallow, for refusing and neglecting to pay to Joseph Mead, the m ,te of the vessel, the sum. of £3l, being the balan--e of wages due to him in the performance .4 hie duties. Mr. Solomon appeared for the complainant, and a clerk to Mr. Young, of Stepney, for the captain. The latter person did not deny that the sum of £3l was the ba ance of- the compiainant's waeee but the captain contended that such a snm was notactuaily due to Jim, as there was £23, the value of a cask of tallow, to be deducted. The mate's duty in shipping the cargo was to keep a tally 'tied see that everything was safely delivered on board.beforeh, signed the cargo book, and get the captain to sign the bill of lading The captain alleged the mate had received on board 359-c isks of tallow at Cronstant, wheleas, on the vessel being unloaded in the rort of London. there were only 358 casks. The price of the missing cask tallow was £23, and the mate was answerable for that; consequently the captain was j ' , stifled in refusing to pay him.that dual. Mr. Combs asked when the vessel was loaded? The Captain repled in October and then he had an idea that he should have been able to make his voyage, but the weather prevented him. Mr. Combe observed that the ve.sel was then rine months at Cronstadt? The Captain replied Vat sn,h was the case; but the. cargo was on board, and he supposed there were 359 casks, according to the bill of lading. Mr. Young's clerk sub mitted to his worship that according to. the 188th section or the Mer chant Seamen's Act, the mate was liable for any defic envy in the cargo, and magistrates had an equitable jurisdiction in the matter. The mate's duty was toheep tally, sign the cargo book, and submit that to the m ger for his signature to the bill of lading. Mr. Solomon contended that the Act of Parliament said nothing about the set-off. Besides that, he should be ab e to pr.,ve that his client was not respon sible for the tallow, as he did not keep the whole of th • tally. In fact it was net an amazing lo s. To substantiate that he called the mate, who said it was his duty to keep the tally on loading the vessel when the ship's duties did n,t call him away. Sever. 1 times while loading the tallow he hat to leave the tally as the captain was not on board, and then he left the son of the latter in charge. He cou'd not say the exact number of casks received, but he nr.de a mark against one down on the tally as doubtful. He produced the journal to prove that. Mr. Combo, after looking at the latter, said that cer tainly was in the mate's favour, and his baits, compelled to leave the tally while attending the other parts of the ship's duty cor roborated that opinion. He asked the mate whether he tallied the unloading of the tallow? He replied that he did not. He was on beard at the wharf, but he rid not know how many casks were un loaded. The captain was also on board then, a,,cl he knew he did not take the tally. Mr. Solomon submitted that nere was quite sufficient evidence to entitle his client to the whole of his wages. He had per formed his duty elfielentiy, and could not be considered answerable for the cask of tallow which was ent -red doubtful in the ship's journal. Mr. Coombe considered that neither the captain nor owners had proved their loss; therefore he must make an order for the sum of £3l and costs, to be paid to the complainant. The captain paid the money, contending that he had been unjustly dealt with, and left the court. THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER IN GERMANY. -By recent accounts from St. Petersbnrgh, we learn that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will arrive at Kiel on the 2nd July. Their Majesties will afterwards proceed by H uniirg, Hanover, Go'tingen. and Frankfort to Darmstadt, where they will remain from the 6h to the 12. h. Thence the Emperor will visit the Em.,resF-Mother at Wildbad, and afterwards conduct the reigning Empress to ICissengen or Bruckeoau. His Majesty will probably pass through Berlin on the 20th on his way to W4rsaw. Couut de Nes3elrode has left Berlin for Kissengen. MB. HEADLAM'S MEDICAL BILL.—We are glad to see that the menical profession in Ireland are alive to their own interests as affected by the medical bills now before the House of Commons. At the annual meeinz of the Irish Medieal Association, held at Dublits on Tulsday last, and reported in our colums of this day, the:matter was very fully discussed, and it was resolved—" That we beg to express our warm concurrence in Mr. H:acllarn's Bill, cal culated as it is to improve and elevate the status o,f the profession generally."

About three p.m. that day,Mr. ---- complained of being unwell, and went to see his Mewls. He returned a couple of hours after, bu,t again went in search of his friends. Nothing further, was beard of him until late at night, when medical aid was called in, which how eever, availed nothing, as Mr. ----- gave up the ghost at two a.m. the following morniig.

He ias adjudged a bankrup'. a few days but left his place, of business on the 23rd of May. The vrarrant for his, apprehension was placed in the hands of Mr. Field, the well-known detective officer, a day or two since, but there is some reason to fear that the bankrupt has too many days clear start for his active pursuer. ThE debts of the bauktunt are stated to b 3 about 30,0001., ani until very recently he was supposed to be doing a first. rate and thriving business. Only a few days previous to hi, absconding he had opened a user shop in the borough inaugurated the event by giving away several thou, and sands of jars of pickles ; a similar course was aloptel in the case of a shop he had previously opened it the Walworth.road. It is stated that one of his largos creditors, hearing of this very wholesale and somewha unprofitable mode of doing business, waited upon th bankrupt, and informing him that it would be titn enough to give his goods away when he had paid fo them, insisted upon the immediate settlement of h account. It is suspected that the bankrupt has taken h governess of children with him as a companion in tt
