Vestry-ball, Kensington, to take into consideration the
reaewal of the horse ride in Keasington•gardens ; Yr.
Ragan& Ounitiv in the chair.
_ . .

ThlN•tanaa having briefly opened the procsedip,
Mr. AM/OWN moved the fine resolution as follows,
" 'That this noting view with deep concern and surprise a
renewal of the horse ride in Kensingtongardena, Mr.
Cowper, the Chief Commissioner of Works, having stated
last year that ho should be guided by public opinion as to
the maintenance or renewal of the ride, and public opinion
having answered that challenge by • petition Against the
innovation signed 1., upwards of 43,000 persons of all
classes." The speiiker enforced the resolution by a warm
denunciation of the conduct of Mr. Cowper in thus on=
public opinion, and acting in defiance of the es
wishes of the inhabitant. of the
Mr. Pusiau. briefly seconded the re.ailution.
Mr. M. Flt. Lt. opposed the reaolution, and said ha con-
sidered the couduet of Mr. Cowper undeserving the censure
that had been lavishly heaped upon him. He moved as
as amendment that in the opinion of the meeting the nes
ride is nu infringement on the rights of the pedestrians, or
injurious to the locality.

wholourig majonty.
Mr. MITVHELI. moved the second resolution, "That
though, from the position of the present ride, some of the
many evils caused by it last year are alleviatod, tbe prin-
ciple involved in the innovation is as obnotioue as ever, and
the ietury islicted upon the gardens as apparent."
Mr. PALL seroodoil the resolution, which was carried,
with live dwaeutisots.
Mr. humus moved the third resolution, "That those
opposed to the ride simply ask that these gardens should be
promereed as they have hitherto been, as gardens for the use
ci pedestrians only, hut open to all who come oa foot on
equal terms, and that no portion of them should, as is mow
the case, be enclosed sod set apart for the ass of soy peril.

THREE SOLDIERS DROWNED AT SCAR.

BOROFJOir.

A very Had and fatal Occurrence took place at
Scarborough on Sunday. These soldiers (two corporals ands
private) left the parracks about 7 o'clock on Sunday morning
to bathe in the sea on the North Sand. The wind had beta
blowing smartly all night from the north, causing a strong
sea, with a powerful under-current. The men were all
good swimmers, and, after entering the water, one of them
appeared to be venturing further out than his comruide•
He appeared to be going easily and swiftly, being an expert
swimmer; bet, in turning about, he found the return to
be an impossible task, and in the extremity that was no
doubt apparent to bin he called loudly to his companions
foe help. They came oat of the water, and ran a
siert distance along the beach, to find a plaoe,
an doubt, where the waves were not so rough, and
whence they might more easily reach their comrade.
They accordingly re-entered, and proceeded to swim off to
him. I."rp to this time they had been observed by a man
on the sands, who at this coat began to weed the cliff,
thinking the men were not in imminent danger. He was
met by another party of soldiers, also going to bathe. After
a few words exchanged between him sad them with refer•
once to the par►y bathing, it was observed that they were
sot to be mess. The man hoped they had left the water
rah* ; bat returning to the sande, the clothe, of the three
aafertueste men were found, while they were nowhere to
be sera All three had perished. The north beach is not
a safe bathing-place when the water is excited by any cause
but that of the gently flowing tide. The bottom is covered
with rocks, causing a dangerous under-current, which the
strongest swimmer cannot always withstand. The names
of the men are —Lanoe-Corporal Benson, aged 19 ; Lance-
Corpora Campbell, aged 19 ; and Private P. Calmoday ;
all of No. 1 company of the 68th Regiment, ow at

THE BLOCKADE OF AMERICAN PORTS.

A collection of official correspondence with the
Ceded Beaten government, respecting the blockade, Me
just been presented to purlianient by commaniL The prac-
tical information it contains is embodied in the following
extract from • despatch from Lord Lyons to Admiral
Milne, dated Washington, May 11 :

" The general result of inqutn• see made by me or other
foreign minitters here, so to the manner in which the
blockade will be conducted, appears to be—
" 1. That the date of the commencement of the blockade
in each locality will be fixed by the issue of • notice by the
commaadiag officer of the squadron appointed to blockade
it. It does not, however, appear to be intended that such
notice shall be officially communicated to the governments
of neutral nations, or to their representatives in this
country.
" 2. That fifteen days from the beginning of the effective
blockade will be allowed in every we for neutral vessels
already in port to put to ma.
";t. That until the fifteen days have expired, neutral
vessels will he allowed to corns out with or without cargoes,
sad whether their cargoes were shipped before or after the
commencement of the blockade.
"4. That, except in the lastmentioDed particular, the
ordinary rules of blockade will be strictly enforced.
" S. 'rho armed vessels of the neutral states will have the
right to enter and depart from the blockaded port.
I continue to be of opinion that, provided the blockade
be effective, and be carried on in conformity with the law
of notice's, we have no other coon., in the absence of posi-
tive instructions from her Majesty's government, thaw to

ANIMICAN CRISIS.

Mr. Edward Everett has lately delivered in
address on the Union, of whisk the following is the cos-
eluding portion :
"I was willing, while this ill-starred movement was con-
fined to the state" of the extreme South, and they
abstained from further aggression, that they should go in
prow This course. I thought, would retain the border
stales, and bring back the seceders i• a year or two, wearied
and disgusted with their burdensome and perilous expert-
meal Such I understood to have been, in substance, the pro-
gramme of the administration. Bat the South has willed it
otherwise. She has struck a parricidal blow at the heart et
the Union ; and to sustain her in this unnatural and no
righteous war is what my comatose' forbids. Neither will
I remain silent and see this majestic framework ot govern-
ment, the noblest political fabric ever reared by human
wham, penetrated in the dust to gratify the di appointed
embithe of a few aspiring men (for that Mr. Vice-President
Blisplossa bravely told his fsllow•eitisoe last November was
the muss at 'a great part of our troubles'), and this under
saver el a sophistical interpretation of the constitution, at
war alike with common sense, with contemporary history,
and the traditions of the government ; unsupported by a
single authority among the framers of the constitution, and
emphatically denounced by Mr. Madison, their leader and
chief."

he arrived at noon yesterday from Parma, after having spent
a day at the house of the Ns:chime= Araldi Treccht. His
son, his daughter, Colonel Deideri and his wife G usmavob,
Pantalco, and Basso, accompany Garibaldi ; these aro the
ordinary inhabitanta of Capron. Now that the condition
of the officers of the Southern army ie improved and settled,
Garibaldi returns to his estate. No doubt advantage will
be taken of the obscurity in which be means to remain, to
sand hint to every point of the Adriatic. I have moon to
know, however, that he has renounced, for this year at
all idea of Inking a lead in any direction whatever, and that
this is the chief result of kis interview with Count Career.

GREAT WESTERN AND WEST MIDLAND

RAILWAY&

Au amalgamation betwoen these two great
companies has just been agreed upon, and a provisional
agreement for that purpose missed by the respective chair-
men, Lord Shelburne, and Mr. Pentott. We are enabled to
state the terms of this agreement. The narrow gauge is to
be laid down by the lit July next on tho Great Western
Railway from Paddingtoe to Reading. There will then be
narrow gauge all the way from and to Birmingham by way
of Oxford. At Oxford it will give aster to the West Mid-
land traffic., which will, after July 1, be conveyed to London
by the Great Western inatsd of by the Loudon and
North Western and Buokiugharnshire. A saving of
twelve miles in the journey to London from stations
on tho West Midland brae will thus be effected. The agrw-
meet will commence from and after the let July, from
which time a sum of money is to be paid to the West Mid-
land sufficient to declare a dividend on the old original
shares of that company of 3 per cent. At the end of See
years the whole of the West Midland system is to be merged
into the Great Western, and the gross receipts are to be
divided between the two companies in the proportion of
t2l per cent. to the Great Western and 173 per cent. to
the West Midland. The Great Western's narrow-gauge
system will then extend from Oxfaid to Worcester, Hero-
feed, Shrewsbury, Wolvarhamptd6, and Newport (South
Wales), besides the mixed pop from London to Birming-
ham, &c. The Great Western will also obtain narrow.
gauge access to South Walla Independent of the broad-
gauge line on the South Walla Barmy.

NEW YORK, Aria, 24.
(Per Persia.)
. _

The following is a list of the vessels destroyed
at the Norfolk Navy Yard:—The Pennsylvania, 120
guns; Columbus, 80 guns ; Delaware, SO guns ;
New York, 84 guns; United States, 54) guns;
Columbia, 50 guns ; Raritan, 50 guns ; Merrimac,
40 guns ; Plymouth, 22 guns ; Germantown, 22
guns ; and Dolphin, 4 guns.
Large bodies of troops are daily leaving New
York for Philadelphia, en route for Washington.'
Advioes from Montgomery state that Jefferson
Davis will himself shortly take the field. The
mass meeting of citizens held on Saturday last in
Union-square was one of the largest demonstrations
that have ever taken place in this city ; it is esti-
mated that a quarter of a million of people were
present. Patriotic speeches were made by the
Mayor, Daniel S. Dickenson, Richard O'Gorman,
and many other prominent citizens.
All the railway bridges between Philadelphia
and Baltimore have been burned by the people of
Maryland. Three men of the Federal troops who
were in charge of Harper's Ferry, and who did not
leave at the time of the evacuation of the arsenal,
were taken prisoners by the Virginians ; they,
however, have made their escape to Harrisburg,
in Pennsylvania, and report that the destruction
of buildings and arms was complete, that six or
seven thousand Virginians were at Harper's Ferry,
and that they design invading Maryland, and making
Mason and Dixon's line the line of warfare. The
chartered United States steamship Star of the
West was boarded and captured without resistance
off Indianola by the Galveston volunteers, and
has been taken to New Orleans with a prize crew
on board. She bad 800 or 900 barrels of provisions
on board.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
herald writes that Maryland and Virginia have
been committed to secession from the beginning,
their apparent limitation being only a mask to
throw the North off their guard.
At a large public meeting held at Louisville,
Kentucky, it was unanimously resolved that the
state of Kentucky would remain neutral in the
present crisis, neither aiding North or South, but
would arm herself to resist any attack made upon
her from either side.

A patriotic fund, on the plan of the Crimean
Fund, has been formed in New York, for the
support of the families of any of the volunteers who
may fall in the war.

13y order of the collector of New York, no vessel
is at present allowed to leave the port between sun-
set and sunrise.

The municipality of New York have resolved to
appropriate one million dollars for the equipment
of the volunteers, the amount to be raised on stock to
be called the Union Defence Bonds. They have also
resolved to present Major Anderson, of Fort
Sumter, with a gold snuff-box and the freedom of
the city. An English volunteer corps has been
formed in New York, who will offer their services
to President Lincoln.

The Mayor of Baltimore states that President
Lincoln has informed him that no more troops shall
bo sent through that city. This statement is, how-
ever, doubted.

SPANISH ANNEXATION.

The following letter from the Havannah appears
in the Opinion Nationale :
The Dominicans took no part in the movement of the
16th March by which their country was again violently
brought under Spanish domination. Santana and a few
accomplices, all Spanish emilrants, and the captains-
poem! of Cuba and Porto Bioo, were the only
parties concerned in the conspirecy. The Domi-
nicans protested with indignation. The arise d " Inds-
peados.' for ever!" "The republic for ever!" raised by
the real inhabitants, wine responded to by aim of " Tbe
Queen for ever!" from the Spanish innimariea. The reap
ardor had been cleverly prepared and was thoroughly sm.
esedul. A great many arrests were made, and the town
was occupied militarily by the invaders, a Spanish fleet en-
tered the port and landed 7,000 soldiers, 16 pureed cannon.
hones, munitions, and in fact a conirdete ineedrid of war.
The Spanish army of occupation is placed ander the
isininand of General Pelee; chief of the general staff in
Cuba. It is impossible to imagine the rights of a free
people more completely trodden under foot. The foreign
merchant' residing at St. Domingo were noires surprised and
saurdalieed than the Dominicans themselves, and the eon-
mils of France and England, after en energetic pretest,
hauled down their flags. The journals of Havannah, being
under the absolute control of the captain-general, of course
did not mention this last significant fact.

Croatia and Governor of Fiume, announcing that,
with the approbation of the Emperor of Austria,
he has removed the state of liege from the town

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 26th alt have
arrived. One of them states that Baron Tecco,
the minister of King Victor Emmanuel, who 'till
remains in that capital, had had a conference with
the President of the Council, on which, without
treating officially the question of the recognition of
his Majesty as King of Italy, he expressed a wish
to know what are the sentiments of the govern-
ment with regard to recent events in that country ;
and that the Duke de Tetuan frankly answered
that Spain oould not recognise the kingdom of
Italy before the great powers had pronounced on
the matter, but that she was ready in a European
congress to give the Italian question a solution fa-
vourable to Italian liberty and independence.
