THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

We have been favoured with the following com-
munication from the Peninsular and Oriental Com-

" The steamship Panther, with the India and
China mails, arrived at Marseilles yesterday (Sun-
day, the 25th of July), at 1 p.m. The mails left for
London at 4 p.m.
" The Panther would be in quarantine until 5 a.m.
on the 27th."

PARIS, BATITZDAY.
I do not know how much reliance may be placed
upon the assertion which is made by a correspondent
here of the Turin evening paper L'ET•ro, that
Count Walewski has proposed to the ministers of
the other powers at present assembled in this city,
the constitution of a new European Congress to take
into consideration the late disturbances in the Levant,
and to provide against the serious difficulties which
they threaten to create between Turkey and the
other European States. But I can well believe that
the Emperor Napoleon finds it his interest to pro-
tract or renew the Congress which naturally tends to
confirm the preponderance of French policy through-
out the Continent. Whether Austria will feel so
favourably disposed to the continuance of these dis-
amnions, a another question.
With regard to the new system of administrationl
for Algeria, I believe it is now arranged that a
distinct ministerial department shall be created for
the railways and great public works, not military,
but " civil," as it is said, which the government
intends to construct in that province. The great
works most talked about at this moment, however,
are those of Cherbourg, where, according to the cal-
culations of an official report, accommodation will,
in the roadstead and three basins, be provided for
no fewer than eighty ships of war—a naval force
much more imposing thea any contemplated by the
original designer of this port and arsenal in
the year of Napoleonic glory, 1803. The squad-
ron of evolution from Toulon, which arrived at
Cherbourg last Monday, consists of the screw-
steamer Bretagne. 140 guns, flagship of Admiral
Romain Desfoests, who is to be superseded, I be-
lieve, by Admiral Hamelin ; the Donauwerth, Aroole
Austerlitz, Napoleon, Ulm, and Eylau, ships of the
line, with the Isly steam frigate t in addition to
which the liners Alexandre and St. Louis are in the
port, and when joined by the six line-of-battle ships,
six frigates, and seven royal yachts, which will com-
pose the escort of their Imperial Majesties, they, will
make up a very gallant array. The crowd of visitors
is expected to be immense at Cherbourg, and many
thousands of persons are already arrived, or at least
upon their way. It is said, but of course these
evident exaggerations must only be taken as
symptomatic of the prevailing excitement on
the subject, that 200,000 tickets have been
applied for at the offices of the Western
Railway Company, end that 80,000 strangers
scat d6ei arrives d Cherbourg. Seriously, those who
come too late may resign themselves, in the matter
of lodging, to some inconvenience, and enviable will
be the situation of a party who can live aboard
their own yacht, easy spectators of the uncomfortable
scramble ashore.

Count Cavour has been closeted with the Emperor
at Plombiares, and mysterious whispers about the
approaching development of as Italian policy are
again beginning to be rife. But it is a very idle
amusement to form such conjectures upon the simple
fact of arsonal interview which may signify the
personal
opposite of what has been suspected, or may signify
nothing at all. Meanwhile, from Naples we learn
that the trials of the unfortunate companions of
Pliocene, in his dashing attempt last year to
insurrectionise the peasantry, have terminated
in the condemnation of the accused to various
terms of incarceration or galley slavery,whilst Baron
Nicotora and other ringleaders are sentenced to
death. There is some talk of a mitigation of punish-
ment, because the King is said to have received
assurances that se Murat:lst plot was mixed up with
the affair. Your own Naples correspondent, how-'
ever, will Worm you more correctly. The arrival
of the Levant packet at Marseilles, with the young
gentleman and lady on board who have soaped so
narrowly the murderous hands of the Arab fanatics
at Jeddah, has excited the utmost curiosity, as well
as sympathy, en behalf of the hero and heroine of
so romantic a disaster. It seems quite true thatthe
covered her dying father with her own body, and
received the wounds aimed at him, biting the hand
of the ammeasin to make him let go. The Beasa-
