THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN HYDE

PARK.

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
OF THE POLICE.—(THIS DAY.)
The commissioners took their seats this morning at a
quarter-past 11 o'clock.
The court was denseiy crowded.
Mr. Ellice said that one of the witnesses who had
sworn to a certain policeman, called on him this morn-
ing to say be should not attend to identify the police.
man unless he (Mr. Ellice) guaranteed the payment of
his expenses. Re informed him he could do no such
thing, and referred him to Mr. Mitchell.
The Chief Commissioner said they had no power to
award compensation to any witness, and he thought Mr.
Ellice had done perfectly right in not promising to pay
any expenses.
The first policeman called was 41$ A, who Mr. Oliver
swore he saw strike a man, but Mr. Oliver this morning
was unable to identify the man other than by his

number.
John Winters, 413 A. said, he had been in the force
4, years, and before that he was 6 years in the Irish
constabulary. He was 28 years of age. At half-past
4 o'clock orders were given to clear the carriage-way.
Witness, with 470 A, proceeded to do so by striking at
the railing and desiring the people to go back. Mr.
Mair was near and said he would not go back. 470 A
said, " I'm only obeying orders." Mr. Mair said,
" Damn your orders ; I'll not go back. ;" and called on
the people not to do so. 470 A went to him, when Mr.
Mair pushed him in the chest. He saw Mr. Mair ap.
prehended and conveyed away in a cab.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—Are you sure it was
470 A
Witness—No ;it was 370 A. There was not a great
crowd where Mr. Mair was
standing. He could not
eight
say how many people were behind Mr. Mair
whether the people were three or four deep. To

swear 370 A did not strike Mr. Mair on the hand. Wit-
ness did not strike the railing. He heard the order given
to keep the people back from the rails, but did not
know who gave it, 370 A called on the people to stand
back as he walked along. As the police passed on the
people came forward again to the railings. He should
not like to be struck with a policeman's truncheon.
He should think people would express irritation at be
ing so struck. He positively swore that he never
struck any one that day with his truncheon.
He did not see 370 A strike Mr. Mair, but the latter
Punched the constable with his stick ; he heard orders
given that if a man created a disturbance he was to be
cautioned, and if he did not desist to take him into cus-
tody, but he could not say who gave the orders. A cau-
tion was given in Mr. Mair's instance by ordering him
to stand back.
The witness, who was repeatedly questioned by Mr.
Mitchell relative to the observations made by Mr. Mair,
I appealed to the commissioners to know if he was cora-
-1 pelled to answer the questions so often put to him.

(MEAT REDUCTION IN THE

PRICE OF

"THE SUN,"

FROM

FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY

FOURPENCF.

fOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and
Navy Promotions in the London Gazette,
with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
&c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.

SPAIN.

MADRID, July 24.—The Mexican Government
positively refuses to receive M. Zayas as Spanish
Minister. The faction of the Brothers Hierros
has been put to the rout in the neighbourhood of
Burgos. Its remnants have taken refuge in France.
Tranquillity is general.

Cholera is making great ravages in Spain. At
Granada, from the 27th ult. to the 14th inst., not
fewer than 1,617 persons had died of it ; and on
the 15th 84 more also died, but that number was
less than on previous days. At Burgos it was
making great havoc. A letter of the 20th, which
has arrived in advance of the ordinary mail,
says :

"The government has ordered public prayers to be
offered up in all the churches for a cessation of the tri-
bulations which afflict Spain. A grave conflict has
taken place at Avila between the governor and the
bishop ; the latter issued a circular to his clergy, direct-
ing them not to give up the ecclesiastical property ;
the former ordered the circular to be seized, but it could
not be found anywhere, and it was necessary to cause
the police to search the episcopal palace to obtain a
copy of it."
The Government is about to abolish several
foreign legations, from motives of economy.

ARRIVAL OF THE RED JACKET.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The White Star clipper-ship Red Jacket, Capt.
M. M. Milward, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington
and Wilson, of this port, arrived in the Mersey
this evening from Melbourne, with 270 passengers
on boar 1.
The Red Jacket sailed from Melbourne on the
2d of May, in company with the Eagle, for Liver-
pool, and the George Marshall, for London. She
spoke on the 17th July the John Grog, Penang to

and 24 passed 52 ships.
The Red Jacket had to put into Rio Janeiro for
fresh provisions, and sailed from that port June
20. The American ship Sea Witch had put into
Rio Janeiro with her captain (Fraser) found dead
with a severe wound on his forehead—the mate of
the vessel strongly suspected guilty of the act.
On Saturday the Red Jacket was in collision with
the ship Emerald Isle, hence to New York, which
is putting back. The former had trifling damage.

VICTORIA.

The general condition of the country may be pro-
nounced prosperous. The accounts from the vari-
ous new gold fields are, upon the whole, favourable,
but they could not be fairly tested until the rainy
season sets in. The rain had commenced at Mel-
bourne, and it was thought that, if it reached the
gold fields, very favourable accounts would he re-
ceived. Two new fields were reported, called Yan-
doit and New Bendigo, but their value had not been
ascertained. There was an excellent opening for a
large American tri de, the markets being exceedingly
bare. The gold duty was to come into operation
on the Ist of May. The Public Education Bill was
abandoned, after having been read a second time,
on a clause it contained being modified so as to re-
quire that at each day's sitting of the schools under
the superintendence of the board four hours should
be devoted to literary instruction only, during
which no religious teaching was to be obtruded
upon the scholars. The first term of the Melbourne
University was opened in due form on the 13th of
April. The annual endowment is 9,0001. At Bal-
larat a movement has been commenced for organis-
ing a voluntary association for the defence of pro-
perty. In other mines Lynch law had been resorted
to. A committee of the Legislative Council had been
pursuing its laborious inquiry into the liquor traffic.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
We find in the Independence Beige the following
letter from Vienna, dated the 20th inst.
"Whilst the Allies are discussing the expediency of a
diversion on the Lower Danube, the Russians are exe-
cuting one in Asia, which appears to be much more
serious in its consequences. The
last accounts andcoun more
sfroorme menacing
Constantinople confirm my previous
statement that Kars and Erzeroum were in the greatest
danger, and that the Russian troops were gaining ground
in the Ottoman provinces of Asia Minor. General
Mouravieff, at the head of 36,000 men, is blockading
Kars, whilst other detached corps are marching upon
Erzeroum and Hassan Kal6. The Turkish army,
which should have retreated on Erzeroum, was driven
into the fortress of Kars, now invested by General Nirod.
Should Kars fall into the hands of the Russians, the
army of Anatolia will either lay down its arms or be an-
nihilated. The garrison of Erzeroum does not exceed
2,000 men. The Russian forces in Asia, although not
Imposing, since they barely amount to 50,000 men, are,
nevertheess, sufficient to inspire serious uneasiness,
when the inefficient state of the Ottoman army in the
country is considered. Neither the solicituie of the new
Minister of War, nor the strenuous exertions of General
Williams, could succeed in placing it on a respectable
Footing. A successful campaign of the Russians in Asia
Minor would be sadly prejudicial to the Crimean expedi-
tion, since it would oblige the allies to send to the relief
~f Erzeroum the reinforcements indispensable to the
army besieging Sebastopol. Now, everybody knows
:hat the allies themselves have demanded fresh troops
to undertake, with some chance of success, an enterprise
which would compensate for the failure of their attack
on the 18th of June. But the Russians, on their side, are
net idle, and from what has transpired of their new order
of battle, they have not less than 19 divisions of infan-
try echeloned from north to south. The Ist and 3d
divisions are in Poland, and the 21 in Courland.
Nine divisions, the 6th, Bth, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th,
14th, 16th, and 17th, are in the Crimea, where they will
shortly be joined by the 4th, sth, and 7th. Bessarabia
is defended at this moment by the 15th division.
The 13th and 18th are operating in Asia, and the 19th,
20th, and 21st, which no longer belong to the active
army, are likewise stationed in Asia, and constitute the
special corps of the Caucasus. Every division of infan-
try is provided with cavalry and artillery. In addition
to these are the Guards, who have hitherto preserved a
passive attitude. The first division of the corps of Gre-
nadiers is employed in Finland, and the 2d and 3d are
now marching to the Crimea. If to the above be added
the reserves of the corps of Grenadiers'and of the Guard,
as well as those of the active army and the militia, it will
be found that Russia can oppose on every point a respec-
table force to her enemies."

PRUSSIA.

The Vienna journals positively deny that, as has
been reported, the King ofPrussia and the Emperor
of Austria are to have an interview, on the frontiers
of their respective States: The King, however, it
is said, intends to accompany the Queen to Dresden
from Erdmannsdorf, and io stop there for a day or
two before returning to Berlin.
A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, in the Danube
of Vienna, says—c, The reply of Count Buol to the
last note of M. de 11Ianteuffel has been received
here, it is said, to he dated the 15th. The Presi-
dent of the Council is at present absent from Berlin,
and the document must there have been sent to
him, and it is consequently very doubtful whether
the contents are known in political circles as it is
pretended they are. All that it is mentioned must
therefore be founded rather on suppositions than
ou precise information. It is said that the original
propositions of Austria have only undergone very
slight modifications which are not likely to satisfy
Prussia, as they bear only on the form and not on
the principle of the question."

ITALY.

A good deal has lately been said of a manifesto
of Mazzini, intended to excite the Italians to revolt-
Accordiug to a letter from Genoa, this document
concludes as follows :

"The hour is come ! Austria, by breaking the treaty
of the 2d December, by reducing her army in order to
render service to the Czar, and to enable him to concen-
trate his forces to the preju lice of the Allies, has lost all
right to the support of France and England. She is
alone ! If the Italians do not rise, they will be admit-
ting to Europe—' We are not able to rise against an
enemy whom we are not certain of being able to con-
quer, we have no faith in our right ; in order to awaken
us, and to be like men, we must have a Pope and a
King who will murmur words of liberty in our ears in
order to betray us."

SWEDEN.

The following letter proceeds from a well-informed
person, and we believe it faithfully interprets on
the present occasion the feelings of the King of
Sweden and of his people :
" STOCKHOLM', July 20 —Though the military ardour
excited at the close of the Vienna Conferences has now
in some measure subsided, yet we are here watching with
breathless anxiety the movements of the allied fleets in
the Baltic, and still hoping that the ensuing month of
August may see some greater result than that of last
year, the fall of Bomarsund. It is neither owing
to the indifference of this nation for the cause of
civilisation against barbarism, nor to the sympathies
of our Government for the Russian Autocrat, that the
flag of Sweden does not already float beside the united
standards of England and France, but so long as the
pending question is called and considered merely
Eastern, so long as endless protocols on the ' four
points' appear to be the only object of the great Powers,
no one possessed of ordinary judgment can require of
our rulers to expose Use youth of Sweden to the horrors
of war, and her growing prosperity to a sudden and in-
evitable check. What, in truth, matters it to Sweden
that the Bosphorus is closed while the Baltic is under Rus-
sian domination, and the port of Cronstadt contains a
formidable and increasing fleet ? Though the nation is
warlike, yet a feeling of approbation of the King's conduct
pervades all classes. We fully appreciate the line he
has taken up, namely, to maintain a strict neutrality
until the Governments of England and France shall have
given positive proof that they mean to oppose a boundary
to the encroachments of Russia in the north as well as
in the south. The future of Scandinavia should most
particularly interest England, for if Russia succeeds in
obtaining the mastery of the Sound, she will be so power-
ful in the German Ocean as to be able to set Europe at
defiance. Both the coasts of Sweden 'and Norway
possess deep and spacious ports wholly free fr,m ice,
or freezing only for -a couple of months in the
severest winter. The principal are Carlscrona, Lands-
crona, Carlstien, Norten (in the bay of Christiania),
Christiansand, Bergen, Trondheim, and the bay of
Varangen ; the last-mentioned has already excited the
grasping spirit of our neighbour. Any one of these ports
is capable of growing into another Sebastopol, within a
hundred geographical miles of the British coast. Our
forests afford inexhaustible materials for ship-building ;
the inhabitants are either skilful carpenters or fearless
mariners. The population of the coasts furnishes at
least 100,000 fishermen or pilots inured to hardships,
and familiar from their childhood with all the details of
navigation in these difficult seas. It is easy to draw a
conclusion from this simple array of facts.
"I most firmly believe that if the allies do not seriously
grapple with this difficulty they will entail on posterity
endless broils, and leave Russia more powerful and still
nearer than ever."

A good deal has lately been said of a manifesto
of Mazzini, intended to excite the Italians to revolt
According to a letter from Genoa, this document
concludes as follows :

"The hour is come ! Austria, by breaking the treaty
of the 2d December, by reducing her army in order to
render service to the Czar, and to enable him to concen-
trate his forces to the prejudice of the Allies, has lost all
right to the support of France and England. She is
alone ! If the Italians do not rise, they will be admit-
ting to Europe—' We are not able to rise against an
enemy whom we are not certain of being able to con-
quer, we have no faith in our right ; in order to awaken
us, and to be like men, we must have a Pope and
King who will murmur words of liberty in our ears in
order to betray us."

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Emperor left Paris this morning for the
Pyre nees. His Majesty will dine at Bordeaux.
". Queen Victoria," says the Constitutionnel,
'will make her entrance into Paris by the tenni-
aus of the Strasburg Railway and by the Boulevard
de Strasbourg. Arrangements are being made
which will allow the Royal train to pass without
stopping from the Northern to the Strasburg line."
A letter from Ostend, of Monday evening, an-
nounces that the King of the Belgians and his
party, on board the Topaze, entered that port at
half-past eight, amidst the fire of two salutes of 21
guns each.

A letter from Toulon, of the 21st, says :—" We
are every moment expecting the arrival here of an
Austrian squadron from Trieste, under the com-
mand of an Archduke. Orders have, it is said,
been already given for the salute proper on the
occasion. The reception will be a brilliant one, for
there are at this moment in the roadstead more
than 30 ships of war, 10 of which are line-of-battle
ships, and several others are expected every hour
from the Black Sea."

A letter from Odessa, of the 14th, in the Salut
Public of Lyons, says :—" In the apprehension of
a speedy attack from the vessels in the Sea of
AzQff, the Russians are actively fortifying Ro-
.stow, at the mouth of the Don. The channel has
been obstructed by large stones, which have been
thrown in to prevent the river from being navig-
able, The town is filled with Cossacks."
A despatch from Marseilles says :
"One hundred artillerymen sent by England were
beginning to arrive in the Black Sea, for the purpose of
acting against the coasts of the Sea of Azoff, the Putrid
Sea, and the mouth of the Don. The latest intelligence
from Constantinople confirms, in according it even a
treater degree of importance, the revolt of the 13ashi-
Bazouks formed into regiments by English officers, and
encamped in the Dardanelles."
The _Passe d' Orient adds :

"These Bashi-Bazouks have committed monstrous
excesses, and have openly insulted the flag of Great
Britain. A. steamer, the guns of which had been brought
to bear, had commenced firing on them. The greater
number had dispersed through the adjoining country,
and were committing acts of brigandage. The French
army in the Crimea were putting the last hand to the
fortifications of the Bay of Kamiesch. The division of
General Canrohert is now performing service in the
entrenchments."

PRUSSIA•

The Vienna journals positively deny that, as has
been reported, the King of Prussia and the Emperor
of Austria are to have an interview on the frontiers
of their respective States. The Xing, however, it
is said, intends to accompany the Queen to Dresden
from Erdmannsdorf, and to stop there for a day or
two before returning to Berlin.
A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, in the Danube
of Vienna, says—" The reply of Count Buol to the
last note of M. de Manteuffel has been received
here, it is said, to be dated the 15th. The Presi-
dent of the Council is at present absent from Berlin,
and the document must there have been sent to
him, and it is consequently very doubtful whether
the contents are known in political circles as it is
pretended they are. All that it is mentioned must
therefore be founded rather on suppositions than
on precise information. It is said that the original
propositions of Austria have only undergone very
slight modifications which are not likely to satisfy
Prussia, as they bear only on the form and, not on
the principle of the question."

THE ARAB INSURRECTION AT TRIPOLI,

TRIPOLI, July 14.
The local authorities here have received news of the
troops sent against the rebels, headed by the Chief
Gourma, who had encountered the Turks and engaged
them in a battle, which it was said lasted two days.
The extermination of the Turkish army, which has
almost all fallen into the hands of the Arabs, is the re-
sult of the action. Gourma is now at the head of fifteen
thousand determined men, and fourteen pieces of cannon
taken from the Turks, and intends laying siege to this
city, which is without means of defence.

JULY 15,

The wreck of the Turkish army which has submitted
to the rebels arrived this day. The Turks are com-
pletely beaten, and their artillery, flags, provisions,
music, and military chests are taken, and scarcely a man
has escaped, except those who were not absolutely en-
gaged in action, and who have arrived here in flight and
disarmed. After this victory the artillery taken in the
field of battle was employed against the citadel, which
surrendered ; the forces would from thence be directed
against Tripoli, which is likely to surrender, there not
being more than a thousand soldiers to defend it.

Gourms, the Arab chief alluded to, represents the ns-
tionality of the native Arab tribes, as opposed to the
existing Government, which owes feudal homage to he
Sultan. On account of his peculiar opinions he was held
in Trebizonde for many years as a hostage, but, escap-
ing lately, was received with acclamations in his native
land, where, taking advantage of the death of the l
Pacha of Tunis, he has raised the standard of rebellion.
Her Majesty's steamer Inflexible is ordered to Tripoli
from Malta, no protect our subjects there. The French
steamer also returns.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)

.(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RI STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of these
bankrupts, who bad carried on business as bankers in
the Strand, and whose case has excited so much interest
in consequence of the charges brought against them, on
which au inquiry is pending before the magistrates at
the Bow street Police-court.

The Court was crowded, as on the last occasion, by
persons interested, although it was generally understood
that no examination of the bankrupts would take place
until after the return of Mr. Commissioner Evans, to
whom the case was allotted. The bankrupts were
brought up from the House of Detention by Lieut.
Hill, the Governor, under a warrant of Mr. Commis-
sioner Fano, the presence of the bankrupts being requi-
site under the provision of the bankruptcy law.
Mr. Lowrance appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Link-
later for creditors ; Mr. Chidley for the Marquis of
Clanricarde and other noblemen. As the bankrupts
were only brought up pro forma, they were not repre-
sented.

Mr. Lawrance said that it had been arranged that the
examination should be adjourned until the return of the
senior conomi-,sioner, and therefore the business would
be simply for the receiving of proofs and claims.
The 9tb of October next was then named.

Mr. Whitehead, the registrar, sat to take proofs, but
during the morning those rendered were admitted with-
out opposition.
The proofs admitted were estimated by Mr. Lawrance
to be about 70,0001, making a, total of 300,0001., but up
to 3 o'clock the list had not been added up.
Amongst the proofs were sevelai on behalf of
charitable institutions of which the bankrupts
had been bankers, and most of the claims were
for balances of accounts. The Honourable Lady
Caroline de Lambe proved for 1,9831. ; the Hon. Lady
Vassal), the Earl of Seafield, &c.
_

No accounts have yet been filed, but it is expected
that they will be completed so as to be filed in due time,
so that there will bn no impediment to the bankrupts
being examined :n the ordinary course, on the day to
which the examination is adjourned, the 9th of October,
as it is customary on almost all occasions to allow one
adjournment at the expense of the estate.
At the conclusion of the proofs,

- -
Mr. D. E. Columbine applied, on behalf of Captain
Morris, R.N., for an examination of the bankrupts, &c.
Mr. Sturgeon, as counsel for a lady of the name of Ste-
vens, who, it is understood, is a creditor for 15,0001., also
applied fi ir the same purpose, to ascertain how the bank-
rupts had disposed of certain securities submitted to the
bankrupts.
After Some discussion his Honour refused to allow
any examination to take place, as under existing cir-
cumstances it might be prejudicial to other creditors ;
but the solicitor to the assignees (Mr. Lowrance) and
Mr. Bell (the official assignee) would afford every
facility for investigation, and he (his Honour) would
grant a private meeting for that purpose if it was
deemed necessary.
The examination was adjourned until the 9th of Oc-
tober next.

noon :

__"On Friday morning, at three o'clook, the fire broke
out in the Hotel d'Ang!eterre, and, despite every exer-
tion, 22 houses had been con umed.
" The Hotels d'A ngleterre, de Londres, and de la
Couronne are burnt down, besides 19 houses belonging
to the poorer inhabitants.
" The old Hotel d' Union bas been saved by saturating
it with water, which renders it for the present uninha-
bitable. The new Hotel Royal de l'Union has become
the refuge of every one, as also the small Hotel du Nord.
" No lives have been lost, but the, e have been sad
accidents. As eye-wi'ness describes the scene as ago-
nising. Half the village; including part of the church,
has been burnt, and a great amount of property de-
stroyed.
" A subscription has been already set on foot by the
Engli9h chaplain, Mr. Ferryman, and by Dr. Malan,
who was at Chamounix at the time. These gentlemen
were very active in giving relief to the wretched sufferers,
and i❑ aiding to extinguish the fire. The wind was very
