trian Ambassador, M. Bache, having returned
from Albano, attended the proceedings at St.
Marie Majeure, in a State carriage.
" The Pope arrived at the Basilic yesterday with-
out having bean expected. His Holiness met the
procession of Poles singing in their own language,
and exchanged signs of sympathy with them.
" The deputations from the towns and villages
of the Appenines have succeeded in obtaining a
prolongation of the jubilee until the 20th Septem-
ber inclusively.

General de Montebello has caused the Ceptano
station to be occupied by the French, in order to
prevent fresh collisions between the Italian troops
and pontificial gendarmes.

day which had been fixed, bringing with them 45
wounded mere who had been concealed, and other

" The Duke de Mercy has arrived, and the Duke
de Galliera is expected."

THE FRENCH IN MEXICO

The Paris papers publish the following news
from Mexico to the 10th of August, and from Vera
Cruz to the 17th of August :
" Since the last report received by the Minister of
War no particular change has taken place in the
state of affairs. The military operations have been
chiefly the pursuit of the guerilla bands which are
spread in the neighbourhood of Mexico and the
occupation of various points, as Apam, Teotihuacan,
and Tlalpan, which enables us to form a sufficiently
extended rayon to protect the populations from
brigandage.

"On the 16th of July Col. Hennique, with the
regiment of marines which he commanded, left
Puebla for Vera Cruz, where he arrived on Aug 6,
and immediately embarked for Tampico; the battery
which defended the entrance of the river and the
bar was destroyed on the Bth by the guns of the
ships; the troops landed on the 9th, and on the
11th the town surrended without resistance.

,‘ On July 28 General Miramon arrived at Mexico,
where he was received by the Marshal Com-
mander•in. Chief, to whom he intimated his inten-
tion to recognise the French intervention.

"The political state of affairs is daily improving,
the spirit of the population is favourable, and the
conviction that the new system will be maintained
makes them frankly accept the intervention of the
new Empire.
" The news from the coast is also satisfactory.
The Mexican Empire has been declared at Carmen,
Tabasco, and Minatillan, and a small body of
auxiliary troops suffices to maintain order.
" The health of the troops is good.''

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

COVENTRY.

The sudden death of the Right Hon. Mr. Ellice,
M.P., has occasioned wide-spread grief throughout
the borough of Coventry, which the deceased gen-

tleman has represented so long and so well. On
Saturday evening it is usual in Coventry for the
bellringers to practice at all the churches where
there are peals of bells, Last Saturday night, how-
ever, for the first time during a long period, the
custom was not observed. Instead of it, time bells,
or knells, sounded dolefully at stated intervals from
every church tower in the city. There can be little
doubt but that the seat which Mr. Ellice's death
has rendered vacant will be stoutly contested on
behalf both of the Conservative and the Liberal
interest. At present, however, no indecent haste is
being displayed by either side. The wardsmen—
a section of the electors who usually take
the initiative—are not expected to be called
together until after the funeral of their late re-
spected member. Until they have so assembled no
authoritative invitation will be conveyed to any
gentleman to allow himself to be put in nomination.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was extensively supplied with foreign
stock, for which the demand ruled heavy on easier terms.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were seasonably extensive as to number, but the
general quality of the stock was by no means first rate.
Prime breeds commanded a steady inquiry at full prices—
the top quotation being 5s per 81bs; otherwise, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations
of 2d per Blbs, and at which a clearance was not effected.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,500 shart-horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England, 500 various breeds; from Scotland, 5 Scots;
and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was on the increase, and most breeds
were in fair condition. The mutton trade ruled somewhat
heavy, and the currencies gave way 2d per Blbs. The best
Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.
the few lambs in the market sold at mutton prices.

The supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal
trade was inactive at last week's prices. The top figure
was 4s 8d per 81bs.

We have to report an improved sale for pigs, and a slight
upward movement in value.

ABSCONDING FROM BANKRUPTCY.

Bernhard Behreuz, brush maker, was indicted under the
new Bankruptcy Act for misdemeanour, he, after being
adjudged a bankrupt, having concealed and disposed of a
part of his property with a view to defraud his creditors.
The defendant had kapt a brushmaker's shop in Cam-
berwell, and also reported himself as a general dealer in
the habit of attending the fain held in Germany, and upon
these representations he obtained a large quantity of goods
from Messrs. Wilson, warehousemen, and paid various
sums of money from time to time. The defendant was
adjudicated a bankrupt on the 27th of May last, and on that
day he went to a shipping-agent at St. Katherine's
wharf, and represented that he wanted to forward
a number of packages to Cologne by the next
packet by way of Rotterdam, and it was of the utmost
importance that no delay should take place. In a shart
time after a large quantity of cocoa nut matting, Dutch
carpeting, &c., &c., was sent to the wharf, and when he
next saw the defendant he eaid he had disposed of his busi-
ness to his brother, payment for which he had received in
bills of exchange, which he took away with him as well as
a gold chain, a large quantity of silk scarfs, and a number
of trunks and other travelling boxes. The defendant left
England for Cologne, and afterwards he was apprehended
on a warrant by Webb, of the City detective force, and on
their arrival in England the officer discovered the residence
of the defendant, and there he succeeded in recovering a
large quantity of property for the creditors.
The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

THE VALUE OF A SPARROW.—A large crowd of
persons attended at the sale-rooms in Adelaide,
attracted chiefly by the announcement that the birds, etc.,
brought out in the Orient would be submitted to public
competition. They fetched in *many instances very high
prices. An English sparrow without his sage fetched lls.,
rather a high price for a sparrow, although as it is the sole
survivor of 100 shipped by the importer, it will be rather
dear to the buyer than profitable to the seller. A couple of
blackbirds sold for 685., a goldfinch canary for 35e., and
other birds fetched high prices. Swan River parrots
for 30s. each. The auctioneer dwelt facetiously upon the
qualities of sparrows, considered as the farmer's friends,
although, as the sparrow he sold was warranted to be the
" only one in the colony," it is difficult to see how the
. race
of sparrows is thereby introduced. A similar difficulty
presents itself with regard to the blackbirds, which the for-
tunate purchaser was assured were both cocks !—Austra-

THE ANNAMITE AMBASSADORS.

The Annamite Ambassadors were on Friday re-
ceived by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Moniteur gives the following account of the
reception :—" The Envoys and their suite wore on
the occasion the costume used for grand ceremonies,
which is precisely the same as was worn in the time
of the old Chinese dynasty of the Mings. Phan-
rhan•Gian, in spite of his profound emotion, ad-
dressed the Minister in very suitable language, and
the reply, together with the cordial reception of
which he was the object, soon set him,at his ease.
Phan-than-Gian told M. Drouyn de Lhuys that on
the occasion of the ratifications of the treaty entered
into betw‘en France and the Emperor of Annam,
the Emperor Napoleon having sent a mission to
line, the Emperor Tu-Duc, on his side, had desired
to send an embassy to compliment the Emperor of
the French, and that he was happy at having been
chosen by his Sovereign to fulfi that mission, and
at being thus able to present his homages to the
Minister. M. Drouyn de Lhuys replied that the
Emperor regretted that he could not at present re-
ceive the Annamite mission, but that his Mejesty
had charged him to give them the most cordial
welcome ; the Ambassador expressed his gratifica-
tion at the attention which the mission had met
with on their voyage, and particularly since their
arrival on the French territory. Thanks to Captain
Aubaret, who acted as interpreter, the conversation
was kept up without difficulty, and turned succes •
sively on the visit to the arsenal at Toulon, the
arrival at Marseilles, &c. After taking tea which
was served to them, the Ambassadors and their
suite took leave of the Minister and returned tc,
their hotel much pleased with the reception they
had met with."

EGYPTIAN HALL.—On Saturday morning sixty
of the boss from the Foundling Hospital, by a free
invitation visited Mr. Lord's entertainment" At Home in
the Wilderness." The little fellows were evidently much
pleased with their visit to this interesting and instructive
entertainment. Mr. Lord's graphic description of hair-
breadth 'napes by flood and field in Oregon, British Colum-
bia, and amid the Rocky Mountains, with the scenery and
songs, much interested the youngsters. Mr. Lord
announced his intention to give a series of free invitations
to the charitable institutions of London.

The fund for the Stonewall Jackson monument
amounts to £1,500. Mr, Foley is to be intrusted with its
execution.

rates ; otherwise, the trade ruled quiet, on former terms.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
large; generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, yet
prices were supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request,
at late quotations.

Malting barley was in demand, at fully previous rates.
Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly but at full
currencies.
Malt sold steadily, and its value was well maintained.
Oats, the supply of which was moderate, ruled firm at
full quotations.
Beans and peas were in slow request at late rates.
In the value of flour no change took place. Most de-
scriptions were in fair consumptive demand.

HAINES V. GREY.

This was an administration suit to enable the plaintiff,
a widow and a minor, to administer to the estate of her hus-
band, an ironmaster, at Tipton, near Birmingham. The
defendant is the daughter of the testator by a former mar-
riage. The amount of the estates was valued at £7,000.
Dr. Spinks appeared for the plaintiff; Dr. Dean and
Dr. Swaby for the defendants.
Dr. Spinks said that the testator left his estate to his
widow, who was a minor, with certain benefits to the chil-
dren of a former marriage. The contention was whether
any of the circumstances of the case disentitled the widow
to her rights. In the first place she was a minor,
but that circumstance would not be held sufficient to dis•
turb the practice. It was insinuated that immorality had
taken place previous to the marriage, but that ceremony
should be taken as condonation. Such an insinuation was
an argument for costs against the defendant.
Dr. Dean contended that the estate was of a nature to
require supervision, which the widow would be supposed
not to be able to give it. That it was much involved, and
might be greatly depreciated, if not loeked after. The
father of the widow was hardly the fittest person to have
control. 1 here were contentious proceedings in Chancery
which would decide some of the claims arising out of the
case.
His Lordship reserved his judgment.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Keating,
Williams, and Willes.)
HEMMING V. THEW.

Mr. Powell moved for a rule in this action, which was
tried last term, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff
for X t 18, with leave to move to enter it for the defendant.
It was an action brought by the endorser of a bill of ex-
change against the acceptor.
The Court refused the application.

policy. I see, however, the other day they had a sort o
Te Ileum, a sort of jubilate celebration of the event; but at
the celebration they specially mentioned that they were to
have a crusade against all the enemies of what they call the
Hellenic race, very clearly showing, to my mind, that tney
did not mean to accept the terms of the Government of this
country. My notion is that this is really a military and a
naval question. The lonian Islands were intrusted to us,
not merely as a feather in the English crown, but as a
means of enabling England to maintain that naval dominion
which, give me leave to say, is not necessary to the life and
honour of England, but to the honour and safety of Europe.
(Hear, hear.) It was intrusted to England for that pur.
pose, and must not be lightly parted with. (Hear, hear.)
I repeat, in my opinion this cession is to be justified only
upon the ground that this State is not necessary as a naval
or a military station. I trust her Majesty's Government
may show that it is so, and if it be, I shall gladly support
them, because the cession will save something from the
public expenditure. (" Hear, hear, and applause.) Well,
gentlemen, these are the views—(A voice—" The Game
Laws.") lam glad that a gentleman has reminded me of
the Night Poaching Act. (Hear, hear.) My impression
is that that change in the law was one of the most arbitrary
kind, for it interfered unduly with what I may call the
liberty of the subject. (" Hear, hear," and applause.) It
gave any policeman, and, indeed, I believe anybody else,
the power to search a person on the mere suspicion that he
had game upon him ; and besides being so obvious an in-
vasion of the liberty of the subject, this act was so clumsily
and so preposterously worded that I came to the conclusion
that it ought not to pass into law. (" Hear, hear," and
applause.) I think I may without much hesitation assure
you that that bill will very soon have to go before Parlia-
ment for amendment, and when it does it will be dealt
with in a very different spirit from that in which it was
dealt with at the fag end of the past Session. ("Hear, hear,"
and loud cheers.)

A vote of thanks and confidence was passed to the hon.
gentleman, and the meeting separated.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

,b.,

LIVERPOOL-TUESDAY.

At our market to-day there was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade, but few buyers from a distance.
Only a retail demand 16r wheat, but holders insisted upon
full prices. A dull business in flour, at late rates. Oats
and oatmeal sold at former rates, with a moderate demand.
Barley, beans, and peas in retail. Indian corn firm, with a
good consumptive business.
