The Royal carriage. in which v7ere Her MAJESTY and the Dachess of Sexe GOTH.A, was driven over the greensward in bee.utiful style : Meet:eV by the usual retinue, the whole had a very fine effect. The SOVEREIGN and her Grand Falconer alone have this privilege. The opera, the other evening, though not a state occa sion, presented one of the grandest spectacles ever wit nessed inside or outside the walls. The opera was Roberto. About nine o'clock Her MAJESTY arrived, accompanied by Prince ALBERT, his elder brother, the Duke of Saxe GOTHA, and his duches s . I n the course of the evening they made quite a family party in the rcyal box. The QUEEN always sits in the corner of the box facing the stage, giving her prodie to the audience. iu the opposite corner sits Prince ALBERT, the centre seats being occupied by the more illustrious of Her MAJESTY'S visitors or suite.' Soon after the arrival of the royal party, the Duke of SANE GOTHA and his wife—he a fine manly fellow, she a brilliant blonde, with the genuine flaxen hair of Germany in abundance—entered the QUEEN'S box. Prince ALBERT rose and gave his brother the royal chair, whilst the former had a little chat with his sister-in-law. They appeared to laugh and talk like humble folks when they meet, with this difference, perhaps, that they did not seem to care a penny in what language they talked ; now English, anon German, then French. The only thing common among them appeared to be laughter, smacked as much of th e rea l j o ll y E ng li s h as any I heard for some time. FORMES, the German basso, tained the part of Bertranzr, and reached a musical gr, beyond his; D profozado, verifying the glories of MILTON, that in the lowest deep there's a lower still. Her MAJESTY applauded most heartily, and the lo} al German artist bowed profoundly. Was the Or— greater joyance than usual, because of the witnessed outside the porch tual attachment which exists between VICTORIA and der Highland subjects is well known : Balmoral, to wit ! It so happened that on the night in question the ever glorious, brave, unstained 42nd Highlanders had just made a halt in the metropolis en route for the encampment at Chobhana. Bow-street, in which the Royal Italian Opera is situated, has not many poetical associations belonging to it, though it is a street most popular—named, heard of in all the quarters of the globe. Who has not heard of Bow-street's famed Police-court ? Yea, it may be. who in London, with a spark of " life," has not, on some wrong, fancied or otherwise, been before his worship the beak? Of thousands I know scarcely one who has not. And this is not by way of brag. Well, Bow-street, if not so poetical ground as that on which RODERICK Due' and his men bristled,:it had, on the occasion referred to, as gallant fellows. The 42nd had an hour or two to spare, and, to use the words of a brawny serjeant, " they used their pree. vilege as a body garde to the Queen." And right loyally did they acquit themselves. Having done honour to the Majesty of England, the gallant corps set off for the camp. The whole affair had an unexpected charm about it, and pleased the QUEEN immensely. The worthy serjeaut re ferred to said they had just returned from drilling the South Lancashire Meeleetia. There have been music meetings three or four times a day during the past week. The debut of Madame ME. DORI, on Saturday evening, at the Royal Italian Opera, is deserving of notice. The role selected by MEDDRI was the heroipe in Maria Di Rohan, admirably well adapted to a cantatrice more histrionic than musical. The lady Comes from St. Petersburg, the capita! above all others remunerative to Italian vocalists,—fastidious, also ; hence an artist, who has gained applause at the opera of that otherwise cold capital. may fairly reckon on achieving triumphs elsewhere. For criticisms in French or Italian papers, nobody at all acquainted with them cares a rush. An individual may cause quite a furore at La Scala, or at the opera Des Italians, ead yet make a poor figure in London. Nor do I think MEDOIII will cause GRIST much alarm. The former belongs to that numerous class where art, elaboration, mechanical skill, things to be attained by study or purchase, educational and schooling, in short, some taste also it may be, and all the drossy advantages which, put together, are eutweighed by one lit t l e wor d — genius. MenoßT, of course, is a soprano ; it is of the usual register, with no very great charm in the quality. She is careful, however ; her sound musical education is apparent all through. She is, moreover, very earnest, yet does not reach the heart. She was most kindly re ceived by a brilliant house. ESPOIVDENT. MONDAY MORNING. LORD ELLENDOROUGH, one of the smartest old peers in the house, opened the Indian campaign on Monday even- ing. i make use of the word " smartest" is a double sense. Though now in his sixty-third year, be is tall and straight as a poplar tree, with Hyperion curls, &c., dresses well, sits his horse well, and altogether has a jaunty air Then viewed from a distance; upon close inspection, the observer detects the falling off in his lordship's eyes— " the effect defective"—they are weak, oblique, dissimilar, and unsteady. The noble earl has been twice married — no chi!drrr. The disastrous history of his last lovely and languishing spouse, the only daughter of Admiral DIGBY, is fresh in the memory of most of the readers of the Standard. She was the loveliest creature I have ever seen at court or elsewhere. She was living in loved ob scurity, a short time ago, about the Regent's-park— something in the Magdalene manner. But to return to his He by no means approves of CHARLIE Woon's bill of fare for India. The noble earl wants the constituency for the election of the board of directors generally to be better informed on Indian affairs. It ap pears that out of a constituency of 1,750, only 200 had ever been in India. To remedy this apparently great fault, Lord ELLENBOROERH proposes that all persons in the civil and militar 'vices, and colonels on furlough, should have the power of voting in the elections for directors. Good. But, my lord, I remember you, when you were twenty years younger than you are, and long before you went to India, holding forth night after night about the government of that vast empire like a native—one to the " manner born." Your lordship, 1 opine, would have thought it rather scurvy treatment, had you been twitted with talking so much about India, a place you had never set foot in. However, though the board of directors did e, and though the nasty gates of Somnauth was an untoward affair, in some people's eyes, you have now a perfect right to call Sir CHARLES WOOD to order, seeing you have secured the advantage over him, having governed in India a dozen of years ago. The noble earl owes the con No daub t ea/4 she had it. The mu- call you 100 _ _.., of directors a grudge ; he had a fling, in consequence, at their patronage, denounced the evils of a " double government," and so forth. He needed not be at the trouble ; the directors are the lords of India, with voice as double as the Duke's." The noble earl was ned to with marked attention, and he got the corres pondence he moved for—and there was au end for the present. Lord ELLENBOROUGH must be profoundly rich by thia mily—no great state to keep up —no poor relatEm ; even his accumulations as on© of the Clerks of the Pleas in the Court of Queen's Bench,--a place left him by his father—must now be considerable. I believe the salary is £9,000 a-year, and all the " clerk" has to dc, is to put his name—l think even that is lithographed —on those suspicious, razur.strop looking bits of parchment which make the stoutest hearts sometimes quail. Who does not know what a writ is ? Lives there a shepherd - le ? T:l2n let him sit the live-long day outside :h-brick wall, topped by its terrific revolving chevaux (le friese, which guards the captives of the Queen's Bench. There let the simple swain sit, and with Melibeean pipe cheer them with every strain but one—" Hope told a flattering tale"—abolition of im prisonment for debt ! Sham. Within these accursed SO Sim -------- walls, of which Lord ELLENBOROUGH, with his X 9,000 aforesaid, is joint clerk, hope deferred has made sick the souls of many prisoners at this very moment, not withstanding all the babble of all the Law-lords about the abolition of imprisonment for debt which has been uttered during the last twenty years. The Queen's Bench Prison is a very different place now, as compared with what it was a few years since. The authorities have certainly contrived to make the prisoner's position as irksome as it may well be. A drop of beer, twice a-day, is all the lush, as it is called. No taking the chair now at nine o'clock in the coffee-room, and discussing the affairs of the nation, with liquor ad lib., and the " whistling shop" afterwards till five o'clock in the morning; followed by the pump for the rat-attor neys, the late breakfast,—the dinner of three courses, and a dessert, at seven—band of music, &c. Glorious days fur the " poor debtors." I have seen them as a visitor ; but now gone—clean gone for ever are those agreniens of sweet imprisoment, making the memory of the Queen's Bench dear to many an illustrious but unwary man. Now, the turnkeys, I am told, at midnight, poke their noses into the key-holes of the cells, to ascertain if the caitiffs within are enjoying the cheap stupefaction of a screw of tobacco. This is too bad. Contrary to expectation Her MAJESTY'S horses' heads were directed to Oxford-street. on Saturday evening, to the Princess's Theatre,where the royal party witnessed the representation of " Sardanapales." Mrs. KEAN is beyond praise as the lonian slave Myrrah, her fine features, per fectly Grecian, telling with admirable effect. A large sum has been lavished on the production of this play, but it seems well expended ; the house is crowded nightly, and likely to be so for a long time. CHARLES KEAN is th e only successful manager we have had for years ; though not to be named as an actor with MACREADY, the retire. meat of the latter has left KEAN sole possessor of the stage. MACKREADY'S refusal also to read a Greek play with music before the Court, allowed Mr. KEAN to step in—not to read—but to royal favour, which he has taken good care to retain and improve. He has now an ample fortune, and the badge of a knight when he likes to have it placed round his neck by the royal hand. A new diorama was opened to-day, illustrating the route of the ocean mail, ria the Cape, to India and Australia, including Plymouth Sound, Eddystone Light, Lizard Light, Madeira, Teneriff?, and so on to the Mount Alex ander diggings. The picture is by Messrs. GRIEVE and TELBIN. The work far exceeds in beauty and grandeur any previous attempts of the kind. Every spot of interest is delineated. and some of the effects are magnificent, for instance the interior of the saloon of the steamer at night —a splendid transparency—the breaking of the sea on the shore of Ascension Island, a marvellous piece of meehan ism,—a moonlight view of the Maldires,—painti the Cape, Sidney, St. Helena, Mauritius, the Higgin s , &c., all upon a very grand scale. The artists have ex The annual parliamentary exhibition, the vote by ballot, came off a few evenings since, being opened, as was fit, by Mr. BERKELEY, the usual showman on such occasions. The debate is deserving of the passing tribute of a notice, as it waa characterised by some half-dozen features which rendered it more interesting than most of its predecessors. The talking was of a higher order than usual—more dis cursive—wider in its range —more matter, if not less words. It was shown, too, that America, the land of the ballot in several of its states, had found that it did not boast'ad purpose of freedom and independence of the voter. For example, it was proved that a great number of votes were reckoned which ought not to have been taken. And still stronger, —a candidate, whose sup porters were known to be more than one-half the consti tuency, was defeated by a majority greater than the whole of the constituency taken together. A curiosity in the present discussion was found in the fact, thatten members of the piebald government voted for the measure, and against Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the leader of the House of Commons, who every day is becoming a greater nuisance in the cab. ; but then half that num b er , an d i n t h e list is Sir WlLLlass MOLESWORTH, the great champion of the humbug, did not speak at all,—thus trying to please two masters in part—voting to please a certain portion of their constituents, and remaining silent in order to offend their leaders as little as possible. Messrs. Sir MOLESWOLTH, OSBORNE, VILLIEaS, Sir COCKBURN, and STRUTT, this won't do. But it is not to my purpose—certainly it can not be to the delectation of the readers of the Standard to pursue the debate—to argufy the topic; it is a capital bait for an electioneering hook ; there is something so " popular " about it ; but it is rendered nugatory, of no avail, for the simple reason that, in the most extensive constituencies, the political bias of all—nearly all—the voters is as well known at tho market cross, as at their own firesides. This is undeniable, in small and country constituencies, where the ballot, if of any practical good, would be really valuable. If GILES, the small tenant farmer, could vote, according to his own free political thinking, by ballot, 'twere well done if done in secret ; but then my Lord SPAUXINGDALE has known GILES since they were boys, and it is vain for the farmer to blubber and deny ; his lordship knows in which compart ment of the ballot-box the vote was dropped, as well as GILLS himself. Mr. BERKELEY, who, by the bye, is rather proud of having achieved what he deems a victory, lost his motion by O. Sir ROBERT PEEL surprised no body by voting for the ballot; it was as a braggadocia; he wants to be considered a fine independent fellow, I know ; he is not without vanity ; and, if he cannot make himself great among tritons, he may among minnows. hausted fancy and ingenuity in giving life to the pictures ; and, when it is added that such explanations as may be necessary are given by that prince of lecturers, J. H. STOCQUELER, the world will have some idea of the cha racter of the entertainment offered to its palate. answer t PATAGONIAN CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIE'T'Y. --. ....M....--- A most interesting meeting was held en the evening of Friday last, in the hall of the Collegiate Institution, in aid of the above society, —a society of which little was known, until a melancholy event with which all our read ers are long since familiar, the death of Captain A. F. Gardiner, Rev. Mr. Williams, and five other mis sionary associates on the shores of Patagonia. The chair was occupied, in the absence of Adam Hodgson, Esq., by Edward Heath, Esq. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. W. M. Falloon. Among those on the platform we observed the Revs. H. Carpenter, S. Minton, W. 11. Wright, D. Anderson, C. W. Lawrence, W. H. Duck, W. W. Jolley, and W. Rawson, and T. D. Anderson, Esq., W. Jones, Esq., A. Ritchie, Esq., and R. H. Wilson, EN. The attendance was highly respect able, although not so numerous as might have been ex pected. The Rev, J. Marsh, of Bleasby, Nottingham shire, brother-in-law of the lamented Captain Gardiner; the Rev. George Pakenham Despard, of Bristol, honorary secretary to the society ; and the Rev. G. Robinson, of Birmingham, attended as a deputation. _ The CHAIRMAN, in his preliminary speech, gave a suc cinct sketch of the missionary endeavours, and sad, yet cheering, end of the heroic Capt. Gardiner—of the vast field of heathenism yet unoccupied by the preachers of the Gospel, which it was the wish of that good man to illuminate with the light of Christianity—and of the too general but mistaken opinion of the world, that the last fatal mission had been undertaken in a rash moment, and without due attention to the safety of the little band. With regard to the death of these excellent men, he be lieved and trusted that the happiest results would spring from the event. God, in His wisdom, not unfrequently rendered a death more effective for the good of mankind than the life. Every mission had its martyrs. The blood of the martyrs was said to be the seed of the Church ; and, in the hope that the society might from that event derive an unwonted impulse. they would ever regard that dying scene on the shores of Patagonia as one of the happiest events that could have happened for South America, into which it was the aim of the Patagonian Mission to intro duce the Word of Life.

Mr. MARSH, a brother.in-law of the late Captain Gardiner, then gave an interesting account of that true Christian and zealous missionary ; and in the course of his speech made an interesting allusion to Mrs. Gardiner and her family, whom he bad met a short time ago on the eve of their departure for Cornwall, whither they went to visit the surviving relatives of those brave men who had perished on the Patagonian coast with Captain Gardiner. _ got fine square-built old man, in blue and gold, grayheaded, his countenance instinct with honesty and earnestness,—who is he ?

DESPARD, the honorary secretary, delivered a most interesting speech, in the course of which he mentioned the fact that, a Liverpool merchant upon whom he called, had given him the munificent gift of £lOO for the Patagonian mission, and had advised him to get a mission-vessel built, furnished, and provisioned at Liverpool. Another friend of the cause in this town, a provision-dealer, had offered to provision the vessel at cost price. So that, even in Liverpool, they had acquired aid and agencies to keep them on in the work of evan gelising the remote nooks of Heathendom. - The Rev.

COTTON.-The opinions which we expressed two months since as to the supply of cotton not being greatly in'excess of last year have been fully realised, and now that all doubts ore set at rest. prices are firtnly•rnaintained, and would go higher but for the uncertainty about Russia and Turkey. The sales last week were larger in extent than ordinary, and a considerable amount was taken on specula. tion, at fully- previous rates, on fair qualities, while lower wades commanded an advance of 1-16 d. to id. per lb. TO-DAY the sales were 7000 bales, of which about 1000 were on speculation and for export, and the market closed fimly without change in prices. PRODUTE.-For sugar the demand has been almost exclusively confined to refiners, who have paid steady prices. Molasses arrive freely but the reduction of duty so soon to come into operation in favour of foreign, dis inclines the trade to buy colonial, without a concession in price. Of coffee the public sales of Jamaica went off with fair spirit, particularly the ordinary descriptions. Trinidad cocoa sold at 325., and Bahia at 265. 6d. per cwt. Of rice 200 tierces Carolina sold at 235. 3d. to 245. 6d., and 7,000 bags Bengal, at 9s. 93. to lls. 9d., being rather dearer. There was an hisproved , densand for rum. The tea market has been inactive;, some few of the finest Congous have been taken by the trade at full prices, and common Congous, in second hands, at rather easier rates, but the dealers are still chiefly occupied with their clearances.

THE AZTEC LILLIPUTIANS.-STRANGE ARRIVAL IN LIVERPOOL. Imerica ke land of wonder The mind of the model republic is ever bent cn the contemplation of strange subjects—subjects stretching often beyond the boundaries of the material world. Spirit-rapping and table-moving have lately agitat3d every community in the States. The revelationa in natural hister- fime by mode from time Brother Jonathan, have vastly enlarged the earth's vo lume of wonders ; but we hesitate not to avow that the most remarkable revelation of all has recently taken place which ever excited the surprise of the Old or the New World. We allude to the Aztec children, by some sup. posed to belong to one of the lost tribes of Israel, by others said to be of Siberian origin, and by some thought to be descended from the Egyptians. To the North American Indians, among whom they have been found, they bear no likeness whatever; indeed, the difference is so distinctive from the Caucasian, the Mongolian, the African, and Red American races, that a mere glance is sufficient to carry conviction of their separate individuality as a race. The careful examination of the ethnologist goes but to strengthen the fact of their perfectly distinct character, physiologically and phrenologically, The couple of Aztec children, which arrived in Liverpool on Saturday, from America, are in the charge of Professor Anderson, the world-famous wizard of the nortk. who, after a successful American campaign, has returned to Britain with the youthful specimens of the hitherto unheard-of race. These children, vslos were yesterday brought to our office in the care of Professor Anderson and Mr. Morris, present the most extraordinary phenomena ever witnessed by tier modern world, let their origin be what it may. We have not here the unsightly copy of an American in miniature, whom the rfritish public flocked to see in the person of Tom Thumb with an avidity which said little for the taste and judgment of the crowd. But we have creatures infinitely smaller in stature than Tom'l bumb, albeit they look not like dwarfs, being, so to speak, perfect specimens of the Lilliputian race to which they belong, so far as the unaccustomed' eye can discern. Had we read an account of these extraordinary people, we should have been disposed to class them with the fawns and dryads of the Arcadian vales; with the Moonlight fairies—the little grey men of the Norse legends —or the green-coated gentry who frequent the valleys of Scotland. But they are neither sprites ncr elfs, but human beings, of real flesh and blood like our selves—the remnant, mayhap, of some strange and wonderful race—the mightiest marvel of the - land of wonders—and who, if they bear a resemblance to any existing race are, in the case of the boy, allied somewhat to the Caucasian branch of the human family. The most learned and scientific men in the United States have made critical examinations of these children, and unite in proneuncing them the most unique and extraordinary beings that have ever fallen under their observation. The attention of European men of science, ethnologists, physiologists, philesophere, and physicians is now called tothese curious and remarkable children. in introducing to the scientific and general public of Europe the Aztec Lilliputians, we deem it necessary to give an outline of the facts relating to their discovery and history. They are not introduced to the public as dwarfs, or freaks of nature in human organisation—but they are exhibited as types and spe cimens of a•race of people long since supposed to be extinct— living links between the most remote ages and the present —a race of people of whom we in the present age - know absolutely nothing—whose history is a sealed book, at - Atha - knowledge of whose manners-and customs has been swallowed in the womb of time. Modern scientific researches, aided by monumental remains, enable us to surmise much; but het* science must pause, for, after all, we have nothing but surmise to guide us in our attempts - to penetrate the vista of long past ages, and gather something like a history of nations as fare advanced in civilisation as ourselves, nay, even more so. Central America has been and is comparatively terra incog nita. The explorations of Mr Stevens, the great 'traveller, in these regions, and"the publication of his work on Central Ame rica, have thrown tome light upon the subject, and - excited the wonder and imagination of all classes of readers, yet he failed in penetrating beyond a certain range and, although his•enthu siasin was excited t o th e highest pitch of excitement by the rumours which reached him of great undiscovered-Cities and nations beyond the mountain fastnesses, be gave up the attempt of endeavouring to test the truth of these traditionary;umours, owing to the apparent hopelessness and impracticabihtrof the task. Whilst in Mexico, occasional excursions by the troops-of the United States, undertaken with no other object than- the pur s suit of roving bands of - predatory Indians, resulted inethe dis covery of native cities - inhabited by people far advanced in civi lization, engaged in manufactures, tilling the earth, and in-every way distinct, in -habit; manners, and customs, from the rude barbarism of the Indian-t r ib e of thel more northern continent; but neither the military nor the Mexican commission succeeded • in penetrating the immenee labyrintn of mountains north of the Gila, whither native tribes retreat when pursued. Stevens, in his second-volume of Central America, relateea conversation between himself and a priest residing at &elm Cruz del Quiche, and the worthy padre romantic relation , -of marvellous ruins in the surrounding oountrY, some of which were little more than four leagues from Vera Paz. Bet the most exciting intelligence Stevens received was that a larg.eand populous city actually existed- far on the other side of the great Sierra range, whose sparkling domes and minarets theprieet bad himself seen from the summit of the Sierra, whicla rising peseeo feet, overlooks an .immense plain, extending to litiositan and the Gulf of Mexico—a city, whose people, manners, -and Customs were supposed te , he in precisely the same state as when Cortes landed—where natives exist who alone are ableeto• solve the mystery which-hangs over the ruins of Central , America. The ardent sharaeter of the American mindewas stimulated by Stevens's recitals and the probability of ;dis coveries which would form a new era in the history of the . world. Certain it is that - the reading of the particular :passage relating to the existence of a large and populous city • far away in an unexplored - - country, on the other side of the Sierra, so inflamed the imaginations of two gentlemen—the one a Mr. Huertis, of Baltimore, and the other a Mr. Ham mond, from Canada, bode of- whom were possessed of ample means—that they determined to undertake the perilous enter prise which Stevens had given up as hopeless. We have intelli• gence of their departure from New Orleans, and arrival at Mize, in the autumn of 1644 we trace them with a party of Indiana along the borders-of the Gulf of Amatique, thence south-west to Coban, where they arrived on Christmas-day, and paused to rest prior to proceeding to Santa Cruz del Quiche, where Stevens first heard of , this living city in the wilderness, and from vrbich point the journey had, in fact, to be corn rnenced. At Coban they were j o i ne d b y Pedro Valasquez,,of San Salvador, a Spaniard ,and from his lips alone can any re cord of their subsequent movements be obtained, as neither Mr. - Huertis nor Mr. Hammond ever returned to tell their own tale. Certain it is that they saw and were seen by the old padre,. who related the same story he had told Stevens, and that when- shown the illustrations- in the published travels of the latter, both Velasquez and the padre recognised the sketches of ruins and monuments- immediately as objects with which they were familiar. Re-assured by these and other proofs-of the truthfulness of Stevena's statements, the party again com menced their onward march towards Totonicapan on the lath of April, and their safe arrival at Gueguetenangocan also be traced, where they procured mules,guides, and provisions,•and strengthened their band. They then commenced the ascent•of the Sierra, and, on the 19tli of May, at an altitude of $5OO feet, ins latitude 15 degrees 48 minutes north, they reached the sum mit. On the 20th the morning was fair, the Pacific Ocean was plainly distinguishable; as, also, whole groups of ruins, and pyramids through the telescope far away in what was supposed to-be the state of Chiapas-- At two o'clock p.m. on the same day, all doubt of the history, as given by Stevens, vanished, for the entire party, guides- and all, distinctly saw what was evi dently a richly monumented and inhabited city, of extremely large dimensions, of an-. Egyptian character, lying at some leagues distance in the-plain below, apparently not more-than 25 leagues from Ocosingo, in the same latitude, and in , the direct course of the river Legartos. Domes and minarets were apparent in such a.state of preservation as precluded the idea of the place being deserted, and thus stimulated by what they bed seen the intrepid travellers determined on exploring the plain below; but the descent of th e Si erra on- Oat side i was an entire mposeibility. It was therefore agreed that they should return the way they had some to the.bottom of the. ravine, thence trace its north-east course to -a large vil lage they had seen-.on the banks of the Legato (subsequently discovered to be named Aguamasinta), where Messrs. Huertia and Hammond were, to halt whilst Velasquez and the guiles 'returned to Quezaltenango for surplus arms and ammuni tion, and to recruit a. band of Indians to accompany them. Velasquez did retain. to Quezaltenango, and fulfilled his mis sion, leaving there most of the people who had accompanied him on his first trip.;. and the fact of his rejoining }lnertia and Hammond at Aguamasinta in the beginning of the following July is : also ou record. Thenceforward, with the ex ception of the account of Velasquez, the Spaniard, without notes or observations, and with no personal corroboration (for no other member of the adventurous baud returned), all is a confused and irregular account of their proceedings, almost too marvellous for belief but for the living evidence of the two Aztec, Lilliputians, whom Velasquez wax found in possession of at San Salvador during the following February. His account briefly ia, that they had penetrated to this city in the wilderness—whichwas of vast proportions,with heavy walls. battlements, and a moat throughout its cireumference--fult of temples, eigentic statues, and all the parapiternallia of paganism —where the people still retained the worship of the sun as a deity—where the habits, customs, sovereignty, and primitive simplicity, of the Peruvians in the days of Pizzaro, combined with Assyrian magnificence and civilization, still existed intact and without alloy from the outer world—and where the heredi tary priesthood of Kaana were kept isolated from the other in habitants, reserved for the purpose of paganism, its rites and ceremonies, i onies, with the s ame re li gious reverence as i n the days of the Egyptian rule—where the people were bound to remain, neither seeking nor permitting any intercourse with the white race, to which on the one side the lofty and impracticable Sierra presented an apparently insurmountable obstacle, whilst on the other desert plains and leviathan forests completely shut out the civilised world—a. city where straggling white• men had previously penetrated, but whence no white man had. ever returned, the choice of death or remaining being the onIF : alternative. But as the trutli:of hienaerative concerning thief pagan city of Iximaya, with its, exact locality and existence,. will be determined by the United States survey, now in course of formation, the question. will be soon set at rest. Mean time it is certain that neither Hammond nor Huertis returned the former, Velasquez says, died trout a spear wound received in the first skirmish with, the native bend set on guard against intrusion on their domains; and the latter, it is evident, was sacrificed after taking upon himself moral obligations. to re main, and then attempting to escape. Velasquez was more fortunate and more politic ; for, after lulling his captors into a s t a t e o f secur it y , h e not only escaped himself, but brought with him two of the children of the Kaana priesthood. His description of this extraordinary race of beings is simply this :—That, forbidden by sacred laws from marrying any but those of their own caste, they . had here, in the course of centuries, dwindled down to a few individuals, who, thought diminutive in stature, are held in great veneration by the Iximayan community as living types of an. antique race of priesthood, nearly extinct, who had accompanied the first migration of the people of the Assyrian plains. If we doubt the narrative of Velasquez and the other evidence before us, the natural inquiry is,—who and what are these ex traordinary people, and where did they , come from? for they are evidently unlike every other branch of the human family ever seen by civilized people, and different in physical organi sation to any and every other specimen previously seen. in a living form ; whil st their appearance at places in Central America nearest the region whence they came created just as ranch bewildering astonishment and intense curiosity as have ensued during their exhibition throughout the most enlightens ed portions of the United States; whilst their lite-like resem blance to the sculptured figures found in the ruins of Central America, and on the ancient marbles in the British Museum, confirm the belief of their- origin and history as given by Velasquez. .1 nen. guardians solicit the most seatOing investigation, nd the aid of scientific research to elicit the truth. All he facts in their possession are freely given, and they do of shrink from, but court the fullest inquiry, convinced, as ley are, that these two Aztec Lilliputians will prove to be the ...;—fitic and historical ities ever brought before tend to throw some light o ceremonies, of bygone ages. these names the two Aztec by medical men supposed to Ley s ublic, whilst their existence may laptised) a lion is corroho teeth, which indicates a much r maturity than that which at first sight would be awarded tgs of such an infantile form.

Letters from Kassey and Bucharest state that the governments of Mol davia and Wallachia had apprised the Sultan that if the Russian troops should cross the frontiers of those princi palities, they will enter a protest against such violation of thar territories, and will withdraw to the Ottoman terri tory. These letters come from the best source. A Constantinople letter of the sth states-that a finnan grants to the Christian subjects of the Ottoman empire now immunities, so that they may regulate all their spiritual interests without being obliged to demand the assent of the Porte. The greatest possible freedom of worship is accorded to them. This firman , would appear to accord all that the ultimatum required.
