ENGLAND AND FRANCE AND THE CONGRESS Le Nord says that England has decided upon meeting the other Powers in a Congress. France, in spite of herself, is engaged by the preliminaries of Villafranca, but all the other Powers, free from any engagement, will bring to the Italian question its personal interest, and having to defend only the general interests of Europe, possess an entire liberty of action. A Paris correspondent of Le Nord states that the English Cabinet requires from Austria a formal guarantee against any preponderance in the future Italian Confederation, and that as the treaty of Zurich reserves the rights of the Italian Princes, the Cabinet of London insists that the rights of the Italian people should also be preserved.

Her Majesty's steam-sloop Vilogo arrived at Ply mouth last night, with Gibraltar avices of 25th, and despatches. The general news has been anticipated by the mail steamer. The French squadron off Algesiras consisted of five line-of-battle ships and one frigate. The Spanish squadron included one liner, two small frigates, and four or five lesser steam vessels. The latest news from Gibraltar is to the 29th. The total number of fugitives from Morocco who had arrived at Gibraltar was 2,666, and every day was largely adding to the number.

GALLANT RESCUE.--During the fearful storm of Wed nesday week, the visitors of Voryd, near Rhyl, were alarmed at the perilous position of a brig, which was seen in the distance drifting towards the shore at great and fatal speed, with all her sails torn away but her topsail, and four men at her helm doing all they could to keep her out, when a most gallant rescue was effected by Mr. Napier and Captain Frith, (the owner and cap tain of the Lion steamer, of Rhyl), with Bithel (the captain of the life-boat of Rhyl) and the crew of the Sea King (another of the Rhyl steamers) which put out to sea in a boat, before horses could be obtained to get out the real life-boat, and succ ee d e d w ith gre at difficulty and danger, in getting through the breakers, the waves dashing over the boat and gallant crew at every stroke of the oar. Just as they had succeeded in rounding the point in front of Voryd, the lifeboat W2SI brought down and launched when the noble little crew were transferred to it, and after . 1 ztr....uuuS exertions succeeded in saving the lives of all on board the brig. It was subsequently discovered that the brig was the Oriental, of Lancaster. She was entering the river, at Lancaster, the night before, from Ayr, when the storm came on, and drifted her upwards of 100 miles.

CITY, Friday, COURT OF PROBATE.-YESTERDAY (Before Sir C. CRESSWELL.) IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.—CROOKENDON V. FULLER. The learned Judge delivered a most elaborate judg ment in this case. The cause came on for trial before his lordship on the 12th and 14th of July, without a jury, when many witnesses were examined on both sides. Three questions arose-Ist. Whether the tes tatrix, Mrs. Crookendon, had abandoned her domicile of origin, which was in England, and had acquired a French domicile. 2nd. If so, whether the will was duly executed according to the laws of France. 3rd. Whether the will was a due execution of a power of appointment. It appeared that the de ceased lady had for six or seven years before her death, which occurred in 1859, spent a considerable part of the year at Cannes, Chamouni, and other places in. France, Switzerland; and Germany, and made arrange ments for building a house upon some property of her son (the plaintiff), at Monte Fleury, b u t during the whole of this period she paid frequent and lengthened visits to her friends in England, and always expressed her intention not to abandon her English domicile, and much anxiety about the decision of the Privy Council in " Freeman v. Bremer," lest it should invalidate her will. Upon the whole, the learned judge said he had, after mature consideration, come to the conclusion that the testatrix had not abandoned her domicile, and hav ing answered the other points in the affirmative, pro nounced for the will.—Judgment accordingly.

SPAIN AND MOROCCO, r THE CONGRESS, -. " o ' --_. CONSECRATION OF ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH, ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EA ST. —Yesterday morning the Bishop of London consecrated a building situated in Prince's square, St. George's East, which has for some years past been occupied as a place of religious worship, but which has recently been made over to the Ecclesiastical Com missioners, with a view to its becoming a district church. MAUVE DYE. —The exquisitely beautiful dye for silks and mauve is prepared by taking equivalent proportions of sulphate of aniline and bichromate of potash, dis solvingmiling, and allowing them to standfotrheni in water, several w ho a ur r s ' . The whole is then thrown upon a filter, and the black precipitate which has formed is washed and dried. This black substance is then digested in coal-tar naptha, to extract a brown, resinous substance; and finally digested with alcohol, to dissolve out the colouring matter, which is left behind, on distilling off the spirit, as a coppery friable mass. This is the dyeing agent, producing all the charming varieties of purple known by the name mauve, which, as it appears to us somewhat inappropriately, has been given to this colour. The particularity of these purples consists in the peculiar blending of the red and blue of which they are consti tuted. These hues admit of almost infinite variation ; consequently, we may have many varieties of red mauve, and as many of blue mauve, and any depth of tint can be secured. The permanence of these hitherto fugitive combinations is their strongest recommendation, —Art Journal, CORRESPONDENCE.

Sir,—Your admirable remarks respecting 4 , large pro jections of new buildinge merit the deepest consideration. From present appearances, a casual observer is led to imagine the building will extend further ; and if the same encroachment on the pavement is adopted, a street dangerous at all times will be rendered doubly so. If such be permitted, all future encroachments on pave ments, roads, &c., cannot meet with opposition; and, therefore, if every house in Church-street is advanced six or eight inches in advance of its neighbour, the end will be a perfect wedge near the corner of Whitechapel. Such a state of affairs cannot exist in a town like Liver pool, where every business street is much too narrow. Instead of advancing new buildings in Church-street, let them be thrown back at least one foot, which, added to the road, would improve the carriage traffic. Space will not permit me to insert certain remarks made relative to turns and other minor objects, which appear in the Northern Times, being extracts of speeches relative to street encroachments."—l remain, sir, yours, &c., A SECOND PEDESTRIAN.

SHOOTING ON THE_ DUKE OF RUTLAND'S ESTATE.— His Grace the Duke of Rutland, his Royal ilighness the Duke of Cambridge, Sir John Thorold, and Colonel Tyrwhitt, shot through his grace's preserves at Cheveley Park, near Newmarket, and in one day killed 230 pheasants, 30 partridges, 100 hares, .and 17 rabbits. During 17 days' shooting his Grace the Duke of Rut land and his friends—three guns per day—have killed 702 pheasants, 2,230 partridges, 634 hares, 178 rabbits, one woodcock, and one landrail ; total, 3,740 head, and with that shot by Lord George Manners on the outside portion of the manor, in September, makes a total of 4,437 head. DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL SIR H. L. BAKER.—We regret to announce the death of Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Lorraine Baker, Bart. The deceased, who was the second baronet, was born at Nancy, in Lorraine, in 1787, and married, in 1820, th e on ly d aug ht er of M r. William Williams, who for a long succession of years represented the borough of Weymouth in the House of Commons. He succeeded his father in 1826. Having entered the navy in 1797, he became a retired rear admiral in 1850. He assisted at the storming of Sumana (St. Domingo), in 1827, and was promoted for his conduct at the defence of Anhalt in 1811. He served with considerable distinction at Guadaloupe in 1815. He is suceeeded in the 'baronetcy by the Rev. H. Virillir.ms Baker, formerly of Trinity College, Cam bridge, and now vicar of Monklands, in the diocese of Hereford. HONOURS TO SCIENCE AND LITERATURE.—In the inaugural address of Sir David Brewster, the new prin cipal of the University of Edinburgh, he said :—" Suc cessive governments have to some extent competed for the popularity of advancing literature and science, and doing honour to their cultivators. The first step in the great reform was taken by Henry Brougham. When the Duke of Wellington was Minister, he recommended to his Grace to grant the first pension ever given for scientific attainments ; and when, in 1830, Lord Brougham occupied the high place of Lord Chancellor of England, he strove to advance all those intellectual in terests which had been neglected by men in power. On his recommendation, William IV. conferred the honour of knighthood on Mr. Herschel, Professor Leslie, Mr. Charles Bell, and others ; and, in imitation of this ex ample, 30 titles of honour have, since the year 1830, been conferred for intellectual services. These honorary distinctions were followed by more substantial rewards, and we now find on the Civil List the names of nearly 50 distinguished persons, from the Astronomer R o y a l as nominal head of science, and the Poet Laureate, as the nominal head of literature, down to more humble though not less meritorious names. These libertarre forms naturally led to others. The recognition of oc a i n e d tie gr s a o n f tqw th o e f intel lectual rights by one Cabinet, promptpd the zeal of another, and institutions as well as indi viduals shared in the generosity of the State.. Men of science found a emp i re . The extension of our University system is due also to Lord Brougham, the founder, or one College, London. i L ts on affi do l n i. . moneyp a c place m wi llefor s one o u m ntmhd e eaeordfse to ou our scient i fic es University University i n e t vo t r fi feor c psLiotolyin.ta boards, donno, c h o . ue llege . s, has become one of the most valuable King's College followed as a rival, and by their subse itgontufsed'etnitttutions in the empire.

The Principal concluded by impressing on his youthful audi ence their responsibility for the right use of their talents in whatever line of study they might be directed.
