THE BREAD ALBANE SUCCESSION.—It is stated
that Lieut. Donald Campbell has not abandoned his claim
to the peerage and estates of Bres.dalbane, as might havo
been supposed from the terms of the petition presented to
the Court of Session by Lieut. Charles William Campbell.
Lieut. Donald Campbell not only adheres to his claim, but
contends that he is in a position to prove before the House
of Lords that there has hitherto been neither a third nor a
fourth legitimate Earl of Breadalbane, and that no descen-
dant of Glenfalloch, legitimate or illegitimate, is heir of
tailzie to, or comes at all within the patent of nobility con°
stituting the es rldom of Breadalbane. There are thus three
claimants in the fleld.—Edinburgh. Courant.
ASSAULT AT EPSOM ON THE DERBY DAY.--A
gentleman named Sanders, well known in the sport-
ing circles, was committed by the Epsom bench of magis"
trates for assaulting a policeman, named David Connor, to
the Surrey Sessions, and bail accepted. The sessions were
appointed for tbe.lsth inst., and Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely'
place, has applied to Mr. Justice Beating at chambers fora
writ of certiorari to remove the i ndictment from the Surrey
Sessions to the Central Criminal Court. The defendant
described of Sussex House, Hyde-park—made an affidavit
in which he stated that there was a conflict of evidence, and
that he intended to retain a special counsel to defend him-
The learned judge allowed the writ, and the removal of the
proceedings will take place before the commencement of the
Surrey Sessions.
[AnvEnzisEmENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—Flesh and
Blood.—lt is incontestable that the soundness and firmness
of the flesh depend upon the strength and purity of the
blood. These pills, on this account, have come into
universal favour, no other medicine being able to approach
them as purifying agents. For the same reason, Holloway'S
Pills are admirably adapted for the young and weakly, to
whom tainted blood is a fruitful source of suffering. TWO
medicine is a mild aperient and reviving tonic, and does its
wholesome work quietly, seasonably, and completely.

SPAIN,

The Madrid journals of the 3d contain no politi-
cal news of importance. The Correspondancia pub-
lishes an address delivered by Col. Palama in a fare-
well banquet given to the Spanish troops in Cochin
China. He eulogised the alliance between France
and Spain, and referred to their common victories
in the country, terminating by proposing a toast to
the health of the Emperor, the Empress, and the
Prince Imperial. At Valence, the roof of a school
had fallen in, killing 10 boys and injuring 25. The
bands of labourers employed in destroying grass-
hoppers in the neighbourhood of Terez and Fron-
tera were continuing their work ; up to May 29,
22,8281 b. weight had been killed.

THE CAPTURE OF ALEXANDRIA.
(Official,Dispatch of Admiral Porter.)
WASHINGTON, May 23.
The Maryland Department has received the fol-
lowing from tlit Missise,ippi Squadron, Flag-ship
General Price, Grand Gulf, Miss., May 12 :
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, from
Alexandria, of the capture of that place, and the
forts defending the approaches to the city, by the
navel force under my command. Twenty-four hours
after we arrived the advanced guard of the United
States troops came into the city. General Banks
arriving soon after, I turned the place over to his
keeping. 'fire water beginning to fall, I deemed it
prudent to return with the largest vessels to the
mouth of the Red River. I dropped down to Fort
De Russy, in the Benton, and undertook to destroy
those works. I only succeeded, however, in effec-
tually destroying the three heavy casemates com-
manding the channel, and a small water battery for
two guns. About 600 yards below it I also de-
stroyed, by bursting one heavy 32-pounder, and
some gun carriages left, in their hurry, by the
enemy. The main fort, on a hill, some 900 yards
from the water, I was unable to attend to. It is
quite an extensive work, quite new and incomplete,
but built with much labour and pains. It will take
two or three vessels to pull it to pieces; I have not
the powder to spare to blow it up. The vessels will
be ordered to work at it occasionally, and it will
be soon destroyed.

In this last mentioned fort was mounted the
11-inch gun, which, lam led to believe, lies in the
middle of the river, near the fort, the rebels throw-
ing it over-board in their panic at the approach of
our gunboats. The raft which closed the entrance
I have blown up, sawed in two, and presented to the
poor of the neighbourhood.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
wanly 3-10ths rer cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
and the exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1631 to 164 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 484 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the 'United States.

A VERY DANGEROUS FREAK.—Joseph Burns, aged 52,
a seaman, belonging to the ship Copenhagen, lying in the
West India Dock was brought before Mr. Woolrych
charged with setting fire to the bed-clothes in a house, No.

taken into custody, and on his way to the station-house he
made violent resistance and capsized seven or eight persons.
He was very much intoxicated, and but for the prompt in-
terference of the constable and the neighbours, would have
burnt down the house.

Mr. Woolrych asked the complainant if she were sure

The complainant--Yes, tit ; he took up the lighted

Other witnesses were examined, who said the room in
which the fire took place was in a state of great confusion,
the whole of the small articles destroyed and the furniture
broken.
The sailor who treated the charge with great levity, said
he was intoxicated.

wool were brought to a close on Wednesday. Owing to

St. Helena on the 14th—the passage from the Cape
to St. Helena having been made under sail alone.
She anchored at St. Vincent on the 24th fog e al. On
the 26th she finally got under way for England,
and she anchored at Spithead about 3 'A p.m. on
Saturday, having gone over a distance since leaving
England in February last of 18,000 mites, and this
with an average expenditure of under 48 tons of
coals per diem when under steam. Such a service
as this, we may safely assert, has never before been
equalled. At St. Helena the Himalaya left her
Majesty's p,..cidle sloop Sphinx, Commander Jones,
on her way from China for England, to pay out of
commission, completing with coal and provisions.
Yesterday orders were by the military authorities
at Portsmouth, by telegram, to despatch the Hima-
laya on to Dover, where the 85th Regiment are for
the present to be stationed, and at 4 p.m. the Hima-
laya weighed her anchor at Spithead, and sailed in
accordance with these orders.
Oct Friday Major-Gen. Rumley, who had pre-
viously visited the camp at Colchester in his capa-
city of Inspector- General of Infantry, made an
official examination of the troops stationed at Har-
wich and Landoard Fort. The inspection at Col-
chester was very minute, the 41n, 9th, and 10th
depot battalions having been carefully passed in
review.

The sth Lsncers, at present stationed at Ipswich,
Norwich, ar.d Northampton, are under orders for
India, and will embark for Calcutta in the course
of the present month. The horses will be trans-
ferred to other regiments, an efficient remount ser-
vice having now been organized in India.

Mr. Macfarren's Concert.

On Saturday Mr. Walter Macfarren gave a
merning concert at the Queen's Concert Rooms,
Hanover-square ; the vocalists being Madame
Sainton.-Dolby and Miss Henderson—the imam
mentalists, M. Sainton, Signor Piatti, and Mr.
Macfarren. The first part opened with Beethoven's
sonata in G minor (No. 2. op. 5.) for piunoforte and
violoncello, and terminated with a very charming
trio in 1) minor, for violin, violoncello, and piano.
Both pieces were executed with the greatest taste
by Messrs. Sainton, Piatti, and Macfarren. The
accomplished pianist also performed two solos,
fantasia, and fugue by Mozart, and a composition
by Mendelsehon, with the utmost precision and
brilliancy. Madame Sainton and Miss Henderson
contributed much to the pleasure of the concert by
the admirable manner in which they sang a number
of songs, of which Mr. Macfarren was the com-
poser. The concert was a great success, every seat

what ? What but for the benefit of an alread
overgorged clique of jobbers, the art and science
gentlemen of South Kensington ? " Complete" the
building! " alter" it ! The only completion that
can be at all welcomed is that which puts an end to.
it; the only alteration at all seemly would be like
the reformation which Hamlet advised for the bad
habits of the players. "Reform it altogether."
And yet the very manner in which the propc-ition
is to be brought before the house gives us hope. As
when the Government brought forward the pet
scheme for dividing the. British. Museum, and send-
ing the natural history collections to South Ken-
sington, all the naked deformity of the scheme
stands confessed; they are going to tell the whole
truth at once,, and confess the utmost item of ex-
pense. Let us hope that the omen is a happy one,
and that this scheme for inflicting Fowke s Folly
upon the nation in perpetuity will suffer the same
fate as Professor Owen's notable plan for spoiling
the British Museum.
London, England, 1863-06-08

inquiring of the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs whether there was any reasonable hope of a
satisfactory settlement of the affairs of Poland.
He was understood to ask the question in the
hope that something more than correspondence had
taken place, because, whilst the time was being con-
sumed in writing, plunder, massacre, and incendiarism was
decimating unfortunate Poland. He sincerely desired that
it could be arranged that Poland might be placed, with such
arrangements as might be made by the other European
Powers, under the sovereignty of a prince of the Czar's
family, and that her Majesty's Government would will.
ingly accept the arrangement, and consider it as a sufficient
performance of the obligations which were imposed upon
Russia. He believed the Poles themselves would have the
good sense to accept such a proposal.
Earl RUSSELL said, as despatches were shortly ex-
pected from the Austrian Government, in answer to com-
munications from the Governments of Great Britain and
France, he ventured to think that it was not anvisable to
make any statement in reference to the position of matters
at the present moment. He agreed with the noble earl that
humanity and prdicy both demanded some sort of arrange-
ment which would lead to cessation of hostilities, and
nothing could be more horrible than the atrocities the
Ru4sian soldiers on the one hand, or the orders
of assasination on the other, that were issued by
some secret courts which load been set up by
the insurgents. The proposal for an armistice was
so surrounded with difficulties that he should hesitate be-
fore he ventured even a hope that such an arrangement was
possible. It was not the business of the British Govern'
ment to erect a kingdom of Poland on its old basis, but to
do what we could to effect the general peace of Europe.
He did not consider that armed intervention would be ad-
visable ; no good could possibly come of it.

Mad le. Caroline Valentin's Concert.

This accomplished pianiste gave a matinee
musicale on Friday, at the Hanover square Rooms,
which was fashionably attended. The vocalists
were all ladies, and the instrumentalists consisted of
the concert-giver herself, Mons. Sainton on the
violin, and Mons. Pape on the violoncello. The
performance of these two gentlemen is too well
known to need any criticism ; and Madlle. Valentin
displayed her powers to advantage in playing with
them some concerted pieces. The character of the
music selected was throughout highly classical, and
the concert was certain to gratify on audience of
refined and cultivated taste.

THE BREADALBANE SUCCESSION.—It is stated
that Lieut. Donald Campbell has not abandoned his claim
to the peerage and estates of Breadalbane, as might have
been supposed from the terms of the petition presented to
the Court of Session by Lieut. Charles William Campbell.
Lieut. Donald Campbell not only adheres to his claim, but
contends that he is in a position to prove before the House
of Lords that there has hitherto been neither a third nor a
fourth legitimate Earl of Breadalbane, and that no descen-
dant of Glenfalloch, legitimate or illegitimate, is heir of
tailzie to, or comes at all within the patent of nobility con-
stituting the earldom of Breadalbane. There are thus three
claimants in the field.—Edinburgh Courant.

ASSAULT AT EPSOM ON THE DERBY DAY.—A
gentleman named Sanders, well known in the sport-
ing circles, was committed by the Epsom bench of magis-
trates for assaulting a policeman, named David Connor, to
the Surrey Sessions, and bail accepted. The sessions were
appointed for the 15th inst., and Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-
place, has applied to Mr. Justice Keating at chambers fora
writ of certtorari to remove the i ndictment from the Surrey
Sessions to the Central Criminal Court. The defendant—
described of Sussex House, Hyde-park—made an affidavit
in which he stated that there was a conflict of evidence, and
that he intended to retain a special counsel to defend him.
The learned judge allowed the writ, and the removal of the
proceedings will take place before the commencement of the
Surrey Sessions.

[ADvEitusElaENT.]-11olloway's Pills.—Flesh and
Blood.—lt is incontestable that the soundness and firmness
of the flesh depend upoa the strength and purity of the
blood. These pills, on this account, have come into
universal favour, no other medicine being able to approach
them as purifying agents. For the same reason, Holloway's
Pills are admirably adapted for the young and weakly, to
whom tainted blood is a fruitful source of suffering. This
medicine is a mild aperient and reviving tonic, and does its
wholesome work quietly, seasonably, and completely.
