The Moniteur of yesterday morning says that the battle of the 24th of June will take the name of the battle of Solferino. Details not yet received. The Paris correspondent of the Globe says, no one there believes that the Austrian army can again Make a stand in the open field. The Paris Univers says that the officer who com- Manded the Swiss Papal troops at Perugia, has been promoted. 15,000 men from Lyons were on Satur day ordered to join th e A rm y o f Italy, to be followed by another division next day. On Sunday, three regiments of Voltigeurs, and the remaining Zouaves of the Guards, left Paris for Stitt. VIENNA, Monday, June 27th.—The Austrian Correspondenz of this evening contains the follow ing :—" The Emperor will soon return to Vienna on account of important government business." The Command-in-chief of the army, which is preparing for a battle, is given to General Hess. BERNE, Monday, June 27th.—A detachment of Chasseurs des Alpes, commanded by Major Medici , has occupied the Pass of Fotale, between the Val Canonica and the Tyrol., PARIS, Monday, June 27.—A message from Cavriana announces that on the day of battle, the 24th instant, the Emperor was constantly in the hottest fire. General Larrey, who accompanied the Emperor, had his horse killed. Two horses of the escort of the Cente Gardes were also killed.

The Bank Dis count has been reduced from 3% per cent., at which rate it was fixed on the 31st of May last, to 3 per cent. The Times says the Austrians have most candidly 'dmitted their defeat, and that history scarcely records a bulletin in which a disaster was more expli eitly avowed. ROME, Saturday, June 25. —Ferrara, Rapenna, Forlio, Ancona, and other towns have been replaced Under the authority of the Pope by the intervention of Pontificial troops. The Pays says the papal authority has been re-established excepting the delegation of Bologna, Ferrara, Ripenna, and Forlio. The same journal adds that this version seems to be more probable than that received here from Rome. PARIS, June 26.—The Patrie of this evening says the Piedmontese army took part in the battle of Cavriana, under the command of the King.

I never saw anything like the enthusiasm in Paris last ni ght. I do not allude particularly to the scene on the 'eulevards, where the numerous cafes, which are under the control of the police, get up illuminations to order whenever re quired. B ut on t hi s occas i on I saw more private houses Talninated in all quarters of the town than I ever remem -7 to have seen before. In the Quarter Latin and the v atl beurg s th ere was a com pl e t e saturnalia.

I hea r d on e steady-looking Pate r f am ili as 4 1 r ir ing somewhat angrily in a group why the police did 4 Inte rfere, and the answer, which seemed to give gene ra l At! i ° sfac tion, was, "Tout est pe rm i s au j our d'hui 1" The nit de s e ur havin g announce d thi s morn i ng , i n a secon d patch, from the Emperor to the Empress, that it is still it;l:essible to send any details of the battle, the government 1 41 . rl als see m t o h ave received orders not to publish any urrnatiou which they may have heard. The Pays says : ' l' 411 Sorts of rumours have circulated in Paris to-day on the subject of the great victory of June 24. Various details of the battle, and of its probable results, have been bruited. We think it sight to abstain from giving currency to any of those versions which have no authentic character." The Patri4 also alludes to private news as having arrived, which it declines to re-produce in the absence of " certain information." The Patric was quite mistaken in announcing yesterday that the French army had already crossed the Mincio in pursuit of the enemy. Not only the silence of the Honiteur on the subject, but positive news from the army, shows that it is yet on the right bank. The Austrian despatch sufficiently admits a defeat, with very great loss ; but there is every reason to suppose that the Austrians retired in good order, and yet occupy formidable positions on the left bank of the river. The Pays takes upon itself to contradict two important statements of its fellow-govern ment journal, the Patric, one that 40,000 men had been ordered from Africa to the Adriatic, and the other that General Fririon's division of the army of Paris is going to Italy. All that has yet been done (says the Pays) is to complete the effective force of the different regiments now in Italy by sending out men who were absent on renewable leave, and recruits whose drill is finished. The Moniteur l'Artnee gives the following topographical particulars of the j locus in quo of the late battle : " Cavriana is situated about eight kilometres from the river Mincio, on the right bank, eleven kilometres from Lake G trda, and twenty-five kilometres from Mantua The action must have taken place in the large plain, about thirty kilo metres in length, whicn extends from the one to the other of these fortresses. The principal points of this plain are Bor,ghetto. Volta, Curdizzolo, Melino Pozzolo, Mezinbona, Gat°. and Camignano. The Austrian head-quarters were at Valleggio, one kilometre and a half from the Mincio on the left bank, and six kilometres from Cavriana, otherwise spelt Gavriana. This splendid victory assures us the passage of the Mincio, which must be the inevitable consequence of it. Operations will now become decisive, and the definite success of our arms is certain." General Niel, the new marshal of France, is not more than fifty-seven years old, and looks much younger. He was a student of the Polytechnic School, which he quitted to study engineering at Metz. His early promotion was not extremely rapid. We find him a lieutenant of engineers in 1827, he became a captain in 1835, and gained his epaulette on the field of battle of Coast intine (1837). He was made a colonel in 1846, and with that rank he took part in the expedition to Rome in 1849 as head of the engineers' staff. While at Rome he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and shortly afterwards was charged with the mission of carrying the keys of the city to the Pope at Gaeta. On his return to France he became a member of the superior committees of engineering and fortifications, and was appointed director of the engineering department in the ministry of war, and councillor of state on extraordinary service. As a general of division he commanded the engineers in the Baltic, and took part in the siege of Bomarsund. Subsequently he commanded the engineers in the Crimea. His reputatien as a scientific officer has always stood remarkably high He is a tall, handsome man, and very distingue in his appearance and manners. It will be remembered that he was selected in January last to go to Turin to make the official demand of the Princess Clothilde's hand for Prince Napoleon.—Correspondent of the Express. The following is from the Cirrespndence of the Times, (second edition) : The Patrie of last night was in error when it announced that the French army had crossed the Mincio in pursuit of the Austrians. This may soon be the case, bat it was not when the Patrie announced it. The despatches published to-day add but few facts to those of yesterday. The Sardi nian Minister in Paris has received a telegram from Turin. dated at half-past 10 last night, to this effect : " The results of the victory of Solferino are considerable. Several standards, 30 2.',Ur13, and 6,000 prisoners have been taken from the Austrians. The enemy has been driven across the Mincio. The Emperor Francis Joseph com manded the Austrian Army in person." The Moniteur's despatch also says that the enemy retired during the night; that the Emperor Napoleon passed the night in the chamber which had been occupied the same morning by the Emperor of Austria; and that General Neil is named Field-Marshal. This dr spatch is dated Cavriana, 25th June, 1.30 p.m. Nothing is said of the loss in killed and wounded on either side ; but when we consider that, according to the Emperor's first acc)unt, the whole Austrian army was on the field, that the battle lasted sixteen hours— from four in the morning till eight in the'evening, and that the two Emperors were present, we may he certain that it was very great. Something is said of 10,000 or 12,000 killed and wounded on the side of the French, and still .more on that of the Austrians, but I believe this is only conjecture. The fact seems to be that the Austrians had strongly fortified all the passes of the Mincio against the French, and the guns that were taken were taken from these positions. Had the French crossed it is not impr )bable they would have had to fight a pitched battle, and we have not details enengh to enable us to judge whether the object of. the Austrians was not to compel them to accept it on *their side of the Minein: Reinforcement 3 have left from the - army of Lyons for Italy, and the vacancy has been filled up by troopS from here. It is expected that another battle will have to be fought before the siege operations come on. Our informa- tion as yet is meagre ; but the results of the battle, so far as we know them, do not seem in proportion with its duration Great excitement is of conrse manifested here. All the public buildings and many private houses were illuminated last night, and festoons of coloured lamps hung from houses on the Italian Boulevards to the trees skirting. the pith way, and had a boauti ful appearance. The weather was very fine, and very close. Everybody was abroad. From the Madeleine to the Porte St. Denis the crowds were more dense than I have seen for a long time. No topic was thought of but the war in Italy and the victory just gained, the news of which had been ushered in early in the morning by the cannon of the Invalides. The Empress came into Paris yeiterday with the Princess Clotilde to preside at a Council of Ministers She passed alone the B3ulevards about five o'clock in an open carriage, without escort of any kind, fullowed by a second carriage. There were crowd; in the streets at the moment, but I conclude the pelple were not aware it was he Empress, as there were no crie This clay many houses are decorated with flag 3 and streamers THE AUSTRIAN ARMY VIENNA, June 22. —Matters have been so terribly mis managed in Austria during the last ten years, that it will be almost miraculous if the empire escapes dissolution. In all theprovinces very great discontent prevails, and there is reason to fear that there will be serious disturbances in some of them if a change is not speedily made in the system of government. The Minister of the Interior still clings to the idea that the principle of strict centralisation may be maintained, but the Magyars laugh him to scorn, and openly declare that the present state of things cannot last. The Hungarians, being a loyal race, are not very likely to listen to the blandishments of Kossuth and Klapka, but still it would be good policy to endeavour to satisfy them. A short time ago they would probably have been content with trifling concessions, but they have now changed their tone, and talk of the absolute necessity for a provincial representation, with a right to exercise a certain degree of control over the expenditure. Persons of respectability have assured me that the Magyars would, if an opportunity presented itself, renounce their allegiance to the Emperor, but I give little credit to such information, as the Hungarians are in general good politicians, and know that they cannot make head against the Sclavonie races by whom they are surrounded, unless they are in intimate connection with the Germans. The wrong done to the Protestants in Hungary is one of the causes of the disaffection which prevails in that province, and some time ago the Emperor told the Archduke Albrecht that the matter should be speedily and tiatisfactority settled. In obedience to the express orders of his Majesty, the affair was at once taken in hand by Count Leo Thun, and it would by this time have been definitively disposed of had not the Council of the Empire (Reichsrath) raised all kinds of objections to the proposals made by the Minister. The Sovereign is said to place great confidence in the above mentioned august assembly, which is principally composed of worn-out statesmen, once eminent lawyers, and several lay Jesuits. The vis inertia of the Reichsrath is so great that it acts on the State machine as a break does on a railway train. The feeling in Croatia and Sclavonia is by no means good, and it will probably become worse now that Count Jellachich has ceased to be. The gallant Ban some years ago told me that M. von. Bach " had succeeded in transforming zealous patriots into discontented and sullen taxpayers. " At such a moment as the pre sent, when the very existence of the empire is at stake, the Jesuits, who are behind the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs have induced him to give offence to the Ruthenes, a highly loyal Russo-Scalvonic race living in Galicia. The Ruthenes, who number about 2,900,000 souls, belong to the United Greek Church, and recognise the Pope as their spiritual pastor and master. Their priests, how ever, address their Maker in the Scalvonic instead of the Latin language, and take unto themselves wives, and consequently are treated as schismatics by the Jesuits. These latter, not long since, persuaded Count Leo Thun to order the Ruthenes to substitute the Polish (Latin) for the Cryllic letters and the consequence of such uncalled-for and unwise interference was, that the Russo-G ilicians complained to the Government of the conduct of certain high employees, " who were surreptitiously endeavouring to rob then; of their inherited treasure, the Cryllic character, and with it of the language and religion which had been theirs for more than 1,000 years." I repeat, that if things long remain as they now are, Austria must necessarily go to pieces. The catastrophe may be, and probably will be avoided, as the Emperor is said to have heard more truth since he has been in Italy than he ever did before. It has struck me during the last day or two that great depression prevails in Govern ment circles, and it is not improbable that some of the civil Gyulai's begin to think that their days an: numbered. The following official telegram is in the Wiener Zietung of this morning : VILIAFRANCA, JUNE 21, 1859.—" The Emperor yester day went from Verona to Villafranca,. and His Majesty's head-quarters are now in the centre of the two armies, which are under his immediate and supreme command. The troops, which are already in the position assigned to them, are visited by the Emperor in their encampments, and those which are still on their march will he inspected during the same. All the troops which look remarkably well, are full of confidence, and delighted to have the Emperor with them." If the Austrians had profited by past experience they would already have beat up the quarters of the allies, but they are now what they were fifty-nine years ago. When speaking of the awkward position of the Austrian army in May, 1800, M. Thiers says, " Perhaps it might still have been possible to take salutary resolutions, if conceived and carried out at once, but the Austrian General (Baron Melas), lost some days in recovering himself, in speculating on the plans of his adversary, and in forming his own. " When the French fleet has commenced its attack on Venice, and Prince Napoleon has reached the Po, the Austrians may consider it perhaps advisable to strike a blow. Baron Hess is, as he was before he went to Italy, the Chief of the General Staff. Count Schlick is said to have his head-quarters at Custozza, a village about a mile to the north of Villafranca. Of Count Wimpffen nothing is heard; hut he probably is at a short distance to the north west of Mantua. If the Austrians could choose their ground for the next battle they would doubtless select Castiglione, a place midway between Brescia and Villafranca, where there is a large heath. All the rest of the country between the Chiese and the Mincio is so intersected 1 - )y canals and ditches that a regular action with artillery and cavalry is almost impossible. The Austrian officers of artillery con tinue to speak unfavouarbly of the French rifled gun, which fouls so much that it must continually be " washed " out: The shell rarely explodes, and the leaden knobs on it, which ought to fit into the grooves of the rifle, are al most always crushed. This morning two squadrons of Hungarian volunteers arrived at Vienna, and splendid specimens of humanity some of them are. The reserves are now on their way to Italy, where they will be mixed up with the new levies. The reserves, which consist of 175,000 men, must be considered the flower of the Austrian army, as • not a man of them has served less than eight years When the pockets of some of the ring leaders in the emeute at Venice were searched, considerable sums ,in French gold were found in them. One of them, a " facchino" (porter) was in possession of 27 Napoleons and eight•dnllars. On the 16th instant, four " signori" were arrested, and delivered over to the military authririties. The following order of day appeared at Verona on the 18th instant : " I to-day take the supreme command of the armies which are opposed to the enemy, and at the head of my gallant troops, I will continue the struggle which -Austri a was obliged t o b eg i n i n d e f ence of her honor:r and rights. Soldiers ! Your devotion to me, and the brilliant courage you have already exhibited. are guarantees that you will, under my command, o bt a i n those successes which our fatherland expects. FRANCIS JOSEPH." Count Gyulai is at Baden, a celebrated watering place near the city; but it is to be hoped he will not come to Vienna at present, as there is an exceedingly hostile feeling towards him in some of the suburbs. JUNE 24.—0 n the 12th of May Lord Cowley informed the Earl of Malm2sbury that the French Government was most anxious that no cause of umbrage should be given to her Majesty's Government on any question regarding Turkey," but the news recently received from the coast of Albania is not in keeping with the assurances which were given by Count Walewski to her Majesty's Ambassador. A few days ago two French frigates cast anchor at Antivari, or rather at Valle di Croce, the port of Antivari, and sent several chests on shore. Two of the chests which were opened, contained different kinds of gsld and silver coin, and the others —from their form—were supposed to be filled with weapons. The commanders of the French frigates informed the Turkish authorities that it was their intention to estab lish a depot in the vicinity of Antivari, and further stated that 20 other French vessels of war might be expected. The news of the violation of the neutrality of the Turkish empire was first forwarded to this city, and then to Con stantinople and London. The Porte has entered a protest against the occupation of its territory by the French, but it is not yet known to me whether Her Majesty's Gavernment has thought fit to remind Count Walewski of his conversa tion with Lord Cowley, on or about the 12th of last month. VIE NORTHERN TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 28 185 LORD JOHN RUSSELL ON THE WAR, NEUTRALITY, . AND REFORM, Yesterday the electors of the City of London met in Guildhall, to select a candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned in the representation of the City, by the accession to office of the Right Hon. Lord John Russell. There being no opposition to the re-election of his lordship, the proceedings were reduced to a mere matter of form, and appeared to excite very little interest. His lordship, accompanied by his two daughters, arrived shortly before twelve o'clock, and on entering the hall was greeted with cheers. The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex (Alderman Hale and Conder) officiated as returning officers, assisted by Secondary Potter, and Mr. Harker, the chief yeoman crier. Sir James Duke, Bart., Baron Lionel de Rothschild, and Mr. R. W. Crawford, the other sitting members for the City ; Mr. Gregson, M.P., Colonel F. French, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., and Baron Meyer de Rothschild were amongst the gentlemen on the platform. The attendance of electors was not numerous, the body of the hall being only partially occupied. The usual formalities having been gone through, the Sheriffs called on the electors to proceed to the election. The Lord Mayor proposed the re-election of Lord John Russell. Mr. George Moore, a warehouseman, seconded his lord ship's nomination, regretting that his lordship had not been appointed Premier. Mr. Sheriff Hale having appealed to the electors whether there was any other candidate to be proposed, a gentleman on the platform rose apparently for the purpose of making a speech ; but on being asked whether he meant to propose any candidate, he replied in the negative, and thereupon the Sheriff declared Lord John Russell duly elected. Lord John Russell then presented himself to the electors, and was received with loud cheers. He said —Gentlemen, I have to return you my most grateful thanks for the honour you have done me in returning me for the ninth time as your representative in Parliament. You are all aware of the occasion of this election. Lord Derby thought it right to advise her Majesty to consult the electors of this country upon the question whether or not they had confidence in his administration. That challenge was taken up, and it was decided by the House of Commons that the late administra tion had not the confidence of Parliament. According to constitutional usage, Lord Derby resigned his office into the hands of the Queen. Her Majesty sent for Lord Palmer ston, who was charged with the duty of forming an administration. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, you may perhaps remember that I stated to the electors, previous to the last election, that if the late administration should be overthrown, I did not think that any administration would be satisfactory to the country that did not contain a re presentation of the various sections of the great Liberal party which now for some twenty or thirty years have car- ried the great measures which have signalised that period. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, Lord Palmerston has en deavoured faithfully to fulfil that task. (Cheers.) There may be individual dissatisfaction—that it was impossible to avoid ; but my belief is that, having endeavoured to perform that task faithfully, he has presented an administration to the country which will have the support of the people, and consequently the confidence of the House of Commons. Gentlemen, there are two questions which it will become the duty of the present administration to consider. The first is the present state of foreign affairs; and, being charged with that department, while I feel the difficulty and responsibility of the charge, I feel it likewise incumbent upon me not to go at any length into that matter. (Hear.) I told you on a former occasion what I conceived was the deep-seated cause of the present war. It was not the ambition of one man, of two men, or of three men, but it was the grievous misgovernment of Italy, which has lasted now for forty years, and which the Italian people have at various times endeavoured to throw off. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, I should have been happy had that which I thought perfectly possible been aceomplished—had the Powers of Italy, together with Prance and Austria, been able to make an amicable arrangement. That, however, was not the case. They are now engaged these three Powers, Austria, France, and Sardinia—in a bloody and destructive war. What we may hope fur is, that the moderation of the successful party, and the wisdom of the defeated party, may lead, at no distant interval, to an honourable and satisfactory peace. (Cheers.) Our duty, gentlemen, is to continue in that path of neutrality which the whale country has determined to adopt. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, if there should not be that moderation, if there should not be that wisdom of which I have spoken, it is impossible to say how far this war may extend. or what nations may Lake part in it. Therefore it behoves this country, for her own security, for the defence of her own honour and interest, not to neglect her navy and army, but to be prepared for any contingency that may arise. (Cheers.) I will repeat that which I said in the House of Commons, that I shall at all times be ready to pay my tribute to the late First Lord of the Board of Admiralty, and to the board which served under him, for the large increase which they made in the navy, and their energetic exertions to put it into an effective state. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, such being the state of our foreign affairs, that which is incumbent upon us in the first place is vigilance. We must watch every movement that takes place, and consider what bearing it may have upon the future. In the next place, whenever the time shall arrive-and I hope it will soon arrive— when the belligerents may be disposed to terminate this destructive contest. it will then be the business of this country to give such counsels as may lead to a termination of the war honourable to all parties, and, I must add, a termination which will afford better hopes for the indepen dence and liberty of Italy than it has hitherto been able to entertain. (Cheers,) Such, gentlemen, is the only expla nation I can give with regard to our foreign policy. With regard to our domestic policy, we shall have to consider, though not in the present session, the great question of the amendment of the representation of the people in par liament. I have always told you that in my opinion the extension of the franchise, and the admission of greater numbers of the people to the enjoyment of the franchise, will strengthen the institutions of the country, by placing them on a broader and safer foundation. (Cheers.) How far that extension should go, in what degree represention should be transferred from small places to large Communities. must be a subject of anxious deliberation with the cabinet. I believe they will consider that question fairly, and I trust the measure they will produce will be satisfactory to the country. (Hear.) Gentlemen, I cannot at the present time enter into any further develop:nent of the policy of the government. In a very few days that government will stand before the House of Commons ; and I trust that their merits will be sufficient to sustain them in the eyes of the people of this country. (Hear.) As long as they deserve confidence, I hope they will receive support. I ask nothing mere for the government of which lam a member. (Hear, hear) I have only again to return thanks to you for the confidence you have placed in me - a confidence which I trust I shall not forfeit on this, as I have not done on any previous occasion. (Loud cheers.) On the motion of Lord J. Russell, seconded by Mr. G. Moore, thanks were voted to the sheriffs, and the proceed- inns terminated After the proceedings had terminated, Lord John Russell proceeded to the warehouse in Cheapside of the firm in which his seconder, Mr. Moore, is a partner, where a large crowd assembled on the pavement to greet him on his re d election. DEFEAT OF MR. W. E. GLADSTONE. OXFORD, Monday, 5 p.m.—No return has been issued from Mr. Gladstone's committee. The committee of the Marquis of Chandos has issued the following : Gladstone Chandos Majority against the Government Candidate NEWCASTLE, June 27..—The nomination took place this day. The Right Hon. T. E. Headlam was proposed by Dr. Greenhow, and seconded by Mr. Councillor Benson. William Cuthbert, Esq. (Conservative) was proposed by J. H. Hinde, Esq., and seconded by Dr. Gregson. P. A Taylor, Esq., of London (Radical), was proposed by Dr. Newton, seconded by Mr. Robert Fisher, and supported by Joseph Cowen, jun., Esq. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Headlam. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Cuthbert. Mr. Taylor retires. WOLVERIUMPTON.—Mr. Griffiths, the well-known metal broker, issued a private circular to his influential friends declining to oppose Sir Richard Bethell at this present election, alleging as his reason that, as a Liberal, he cannot throw the apple of discord into the Reform camp on this occasion. Bat in the event of Sir Richard, that thorough Reformer, being raised to the peerage, he will contest the borough. We have no doubt when Mr. Griffiths offers to represent the independent electors of this borough ift 4 Parliament, he will be returned by a large majority. Wolverhampton Advertiser. [Yesterday Sir R. Bothell was returned without opposition.] Lord J. Russell has been returned for the city of London, unopposed. Mr. Milner Gibson was returned, unopposed, yesterday morning, for Ashton Lord Palmerston having received a memorial from Independent Ministers in Wales in favour of non-interven- tion, replied that her Majesty's Government do not foresee the probability of any events that would lead them to depart from their policy of neutrality.

A Boston editor, desirous of paying a compliment to a minister, who lately officiated in one of the fashionable chapels, said of his prayers that they were the best ever addressed to a Boston Audience.

A Cue. Tors ENCIUNTER. - A lively and ludicrous combat between a femile physician, MN. Stillwell, and a regular trowsered doctor, named WNeil, took place in the streets of De Witt, lowa, a few days ago. The affair grew out of professional rivalry, the immediate Provocation being a lengthy article in the village paper from the pen of the male d'sciple of Fsculapitts, severely reflecting on the character of his professional sister. The latter, after a careful diagnosis of the c Ise, decided that it was one calling for the vionrons application of a stimulant in the shape of a cowskin. Providing herself with this article, she hunted up her traducer, and plied him so assilnously with heavy. doses of. the new therapatical anent, at remarkably short intervals that the patient, unable to bear such bald practice, clasped the fair practitioner in his arms and held her so forcibly and affectionately, that the eff .rts of the town marshal were necesary to release her.

He has been living in a little Styrian village about that long, seeing and being seen by none. His adventure was this : Ire was violently enamoured of a very pretty woman whom he met by chance in the street, and discovered afterwards to be the wife of a 'dyer' in the Rue de Marais. Whether she was disposed to favour his addresses, or acted in concert with her husband to punish him, is not very easy to say; the result would incline to the latter supposition. At all events. she gave him a rendezvous, at which he was surprised by the dyer himself —a fellow strong as a Hercules, and of an ungovernable temper. fie rushed wildly on De Marsay, who defended himself for some time with his rapier; a false thrust. however, broke the weapon at, the hilt, and the dyer, springing forward. caught poor Gustave round the body, and actually carried him off over his bead, awl plunged him neck and heels into an enormous tank filled with dye-stuff. How he escaped drowning— how he issued from the house and ever reached his home, he was never able to tell. It is more than probable the consequences of the calamity absorbed and obliterated all else; for when he awoke next day he discovered that he was totally changed —his skin from head to foot being dyed a deep blue. It was in vain that he washed and washed, boiled himself in hot baths, or essayed a hundred cleansing remedies, nothing avail e d i n th e l e ast - in fact,' many thought that be came out only bluer than before. The most learned of the faculty were consulted, the most distinguished chemists —all in vain.

Her Royal Highness is suffering from internal DEATH OF THE EARL OF TANKERVILLE.•—We have to announce the death of the Earl of Tankervllle, who expired on Saturday merning at his residence in Hertford-street, Mayfair, after a protracted illness. The deceased, Charles Augustus Bennet, Earl of Tankerville and Baron Ossulstone, of Ossulstone, county of Middlesex, in the peerage of Great Britain. was eldest son of Charles, fourth earl, and Emma, ' second daughter andcoheir of Sir James Colebrook, Bart. lie was born April 24, 1776, and was consequently in his 83rd year. The late peer married July 28, 1804. Mademoiselle 'Corisaude Grammont, daughter of the late Duc de Gram mont, by whom he leaves surviving issue, the Countess of Malmesbury and Lord Ossulstone, now Earl of Tanker ville. The late earl was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated M.A. in 1795; and previous to his succeeding his father as fifth earl in 1822. he sat in the House of Commons as representative for Steyning, and subsequently from 1806 to 1818 represented Knares borough in that assembly. He was appointed in 1806 Treasurer to the King's Household, when he was made a Privy Councillor. He was a conservative in politics, but of late years, from partial blindness, had abstained from all matters of public business.

DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF SLIGO.—WC have to record the demise of the Marchioness of Sligo. Her lady ship died at an early hour on Sunday morning, at the family residence in Harley-street. The late marchioness was confined on Thursday last, and the following day most unfavourable symptoms manifested themselves, and, we deeply regret to say, the lamented lady sunk under them. She was the marquis's second wife, was daughter of Mr. Anthony Nugent, of Pallas, county Galway, and was only married to the marquis in the summer of last year. It wilt be recollected that at the time of their marriage some impediments were occasioned through his lordship being Protestant and the lamented deceased being of the Romish faith, which were afterwards reconciled by a dispensation from the Pope. SMOKING kills and cures live men and dead herrings. A little girl being sent to a shop to purchase some dye stuffs, and forgetting the name of the article, said to the shopman : "Please, sir, what do people dye with ? " " Why, cholera, sometimes," replied the man. "Well, I believe that's the name," said she; "I want to get three pennyworth." CARRYING HOME HIS WORK. The venerable lady of a celebrated physician, one day casting her eye out of the window, observed her husband in the funeral procession of one of his patients, at which she exclaimed : " I do wish my husband would keep away from such processions, it appears too much like a tailor carrying home his work." EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of , and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by looking in at his establishment.
