Highlanders, which gave the famous repulse to the
charge of the Russian cavalry at Balaklava, was
drawn out as a guard of honour, the band of the
regiment playing a Russian air. The Duke then
proceeded to Osborne on a visit to her Majesty. It
is stated that the visit will be very short, not ex-
tending over three or four days. The royal yacht
Victoria and Albert is lying off, and it is very pro-
bable that the Grand Duke will take a cruise in
her with Prince Albert. The Earl of Clarendon,
Foreign Secretary of State, is in attendance upon
the Queen during this imperial visit.

The tenor of our Continental advices is not of
much moment. The bill about the Bank of France
was adopted in its amended shape by a large
majority in the Legislative Body, on the last day
of the session. The decree. just issued, fixes the
new elections for the 21st of June. The " Senatus
Consultum" voted by the Senate, modifying article
thirty-five of the Constitution, appears in the
.Moniteur, In virtue of this change, one deputy
will be named by every 35,000 electors, and
in departments where the number of electors
ex:eecis 17.500, an additional deputy will be named.
A " communique" has been given to the Union,
and certainly the ignorance of that paper eadled for
official notice. In a leader on the budget it based
argurne'nts on a figure exceeding by 34,800,004 ,
the correct amonet. The Moniteur announces the
dissolution of the Legislative corns. The new
elections are to commence on the 21st June. and
will last for two days. The number of the deputies
for the new chambar is 267.

The Federal Assembly of Germany is convoked

The state of siege imposed by Austria, in 1849,
on the eastern portion of the Papal dominions has
been raised, but offenders against the military
authority of Austria are excluded from the benefit
of this relaxation of despotism. is to be hoped
that the Papal amnesty will be complete
A very extraordinary and exciting scene has
taken place in the Belgian Chambers, i!'t which dr:2
popular spirit of resistar,ee to ultramontarie
aggressiveness, which is growidg in that country,
broke out in an alarrnig way. We give the par.
ticulars elsewhere.

The royal mail steamship Europa arrived here
last evening, with letters and papers dated New
York, May 19, bringing over a million dollars specie
ost freight. The North Stararrived at Southampton,
on Saturday, with 350,000 dollars in specie. By
these arrivals we learn that it was reported that
reliable intelligence had been received at Washing-
ton, that the treaty of amity between Great Britain
and Honduras has been accepted by the Govern-
ment of the latter state, but that the conven-
tion ceding the Bay Islands to Honduras has not
been acted on ; that the President of Honduras
is opposed to its acceptance. The Supreme Court
of Ohio has decided a slave case in direct opposi-
tion to the decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott case. A fearful riot
occurred at Louisvile on the 14th ultimo. The
four negroes accused of murdering the Joyce
family some months since were acquitted. One oz.
them turned States' evidence, but his testimony
was not legal or corroborated. There was con-
siderable excitement about the Court-house during.
the trial. About dark a mob broke into the cannon
house and got a cannon, which they placed in front
of the jail. Several shots were fired by the mob
and from the jail. The jailer, fearing the escape
of the prisoners, formailysurrendered two of them,
who were hung by the mob; the third cut his throat
with a razor, but the negro who turned States'
evidence was unmolested. The remaining negro
implicated in the Joyce murder was
.hung by the
mob next night, making three hanged and one
suicide.

There is nothing new from Australia, but we
hear that the DOnald Mackey, which sailed from
Melbourne on the 26th of February, has arrived off
the West of Ireland; she has 12,000 ounces of
gold, and 1,400 bales of Wool. Her news has been
anticipated, our readers will find her log in another
column.

By the arrival of the screw-steamer Dane, we
have later news from the Brazils. Politically
speaking, it is unimportant. Full details will be
found in another column.

ON Friday night Mr. DISRAELI asked the
Government some questions respecting the non-
ratification of the DALLAS-CLARENDON treaty.
This is an important question, whether we regard
the matters in dispute or the nature of the
relations between the contracting parties. We
are not of that class who losk upon the
rejection of the treaty by Great Britain, as
amended in the Senate of the United States,

a matter of serious importance to the preserva-
tion of peace between the two countries ; nor
can we coincide with a writer in the New York
Herald, who states that the rejection of the
treaty of Lord PALMERSTON "is an affair of
the highest significancy touching the whole
schedule of our international relations with
England ;" and, that, " this tropical imbroglio
has thus assumed a more menacing shape
than in any of the many ugly phases through
which it has passed from the beginning."
According to the ministerial declarations, there
has been some misunderstanding in the arrange-
ment between Honduras and this
.country. It
is well known that the most important provi-ion
in the treaty, was based upon certain relations
which should exist between these powers ; and
recent events having taken place, which enabled
the British Cabinet to foresee that that particular
portion of the treaty could not be carried out,
Lord CLARENDON, by and with the sanction
of his colleagues, has proposed the negotiation
of the dispute de novo. This view of the case
is borne out by the fact that towards the end
of March last, Mr. SEYMOUR, the recently-
`appointed Snperintendent of British Honduras,
was sworn into office as the Lieutenant-Governor
of Bay Islands. There are British interests
of no minor importance to protect in Honduras
and the Bay Islands. Hence it was that Lord
CLARENDON sought to secure their protection by
entering into certain stipulations with Honduras,
but, these being unperformed, he seeks to
secure the object by instructing Lord NAPIER
to offer that a new tre +.ty shall he arranged.
Alluding to the rejection of the treaty, The
New York Daily Times justifies the course
pursued by the Government here, in the follow-
ing terms—" If the British Ministers are right
in their estimate of the bearing of this modifica-
tion, if it be intended and devised as really to
