The original columns of the Paris journals are
almost destitute of interest. The Ministerial jour-
nals have said all that could be said in fa.,your of
the pacific policy of the Government, and what
are called the independent journals find it difficult
in the present state of uncertainty, as regards the
proposition which has been made to the Emperor
of Russia, to continue their commentaries.
The Minister of War went on Monday to in-
spect the military school of St. Cyr. On his ar-
rival he found the pupils in the refectory, and
allowing them time to finish their repast, he went
over the different parts of the establishment to
judge by himself of the manner in which every-
thing was conducted. The pupils were then called
out under arms, and a considerable time was occu-
pied in their going through the manoeuvres of the
several branches of the service. In the gymnatic
school, at firing at a mark, and in the fencing-
room the pupils also displayed to the Minister their
acquirements, and he expressed his perfect appro-
bation of all he witnessed. On leaving the estab-
lishment, the Marshal addressed General Alexandre,
the head of the school, and declared himself to be
much pleased with the state of the establishment
and with the efficiency of the pupils.
The Minister of Marino arrived at Rochefort
from Nantes on the afternoon of the 18th in the
Roland, and was received at his landing by the
principal civil and naval authorities. The troops
drawn up to receive him shouted " Vive rE.-
pereur !"

The British steamer Caradoc arrived at Constan-
tinople on the 7th of July.
It is said that she has brought the last proposals
which France and England have transmitted to St.
Petersburgh.
The news of the invasion of the Danubian Princi-
palities had produced some excitement.
The Seraskier, Mahomet Ali Pasha, votes for

ments of Russia. His opinions and sentiments are
shared by some of his colleagues.
The reconstruction of the Cabinet is considered
as inevitable. A Ministerial crisis is thought to be
impending.
The Franks have thought it advisable to take
measures for their own safety. They fear a hostile

which was crossed there in 1828 by an army of
40,000 men under the command of General Roth.

The Assemblee Nationale says :—" We learn by
a private letter, which merits absolute confidence,
that at the date of the sth of July, the representa-
tives of the four great powers at Constantinople,
France, England, Austria, and Prussia, were com-
pletely in accord to the terms of the arrangement
to propose to the Porte and Russia. This arrange-
ment could not be submitted to the sanction of the
Sultan on account of the Ramazan, during which
official relations with the Porte remained sus-
pended ; but there was little time to wait to solicit
and obtain the sanction, since the Ramazan ended
on the 7th. In considering, as it is permitted to
hope, that the Sultan has given his sanction, it
might have been sent off to St. Petersburgh, so as
to arrive by the 15th of this month ; and the de-
cision of the Russian Cabinet may be known about
the 25th."
The Cologne Gazette gtates that the protest of the
Divan against the occupation of the Danubian Prin-
cipalities by Russia, reached
. Vienna on the 15th,
having been conveyed there by- Mehemet Saftaluge.
According to the Press of Vienna, :the Divan replies
in the most energetic manner to the arguments put
forward by the Czar in his manifesto, :whilst the
Sultan, on his part, protests solemnly agaost the
reproach of having violated his word, and calk;` on
all the Christian communities to testify that he ha.'
never knowingly and wantonly oppressed them,
and that wherever inferior authorities have at-
tacked their rights and privileges they have been
punished. The document enters into details on the
persecution of the Jews at Damascus, and declares,
with respect to the invasion of the principalities,
that the Porte protests in the most solemn manner
against it, as an act of violence which nothing can
justify.
The Nuremberg Correspondent has the following
from Vienna :--- The Baron de Meyendorff made
on the 13th a communication to the Austrian Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs explanatory of the circu-
lar despatch of Count Nesselrode. M. de Meyen-
dorff is said to have declared among other things
that the Emperor of Russia was ready to accept a
mediation provided that it shall recognise
the jus-
tice of his demands."

the direction of Mussa Pacha and a Prussian colo

nel named Kutschowski.
It appears by a letter from Constantinople of the
Bth, in a German journal, that a rumour was still
current there of its being the intention of the Bri-
tish Government to recal Lord Stratford de Red-

cliffe.
A letter from Constantinople of the 7th says :

Gazette of Berlin, that his liberation has takeil
place. M. G. Calandrelli, however, corrects .01

French Government, and declares that it is solely
owing to the efforts of the King of Prussia.

DENMARK.

The Copenhagen journals of the 12th publish s'
circular of the Danish Minister of Foreign Affai°
to the diplomatic agents of Denmark, dated so fal,o
back as the 9th May. This document enters
an elaborate review of the motives on which 08
opposition in the Diet voted against the BO'
message of the Bth October last, definitively
the succession to the throne, in accordance wl
the treaty of London— a vote which it will I.
remembered led to the dissolution of the Die,'
According to the Minister, the opposition as V'
as the government and all the Danish nation,
approved highly of the selection of the Prince Chri!'
tian of Glucksburg and his male descendants by 11'5,
wife the Princess of Hesse, as successors to the throve'
but that it thought that the messsage went beyond
the treaty of London in enacting that the sale
order of succession should be observed in all tbB

says, au

ENTIRE ABOLITION OF THE DUTY O 1

ADVERTISEMENTS.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
It will be seen from our Parliamentary report, th
the information was correct which we exclusively 01
in our paper of yesterday, relative to the intention
Mr. Gladstone to agree to the entire repeal of the ','``
vertisement duty, provided the house would enable 11119'
to throw out the bill of Lord Robert Grosvenor for
abolishing the duty on attorneys' certificates. Before
the house divided on the second reading of that bill, tbs,
right hon. gentleman stated, in terms as explicit. P
could be desired, that, in the event of the house rejecting
the measure, he would, seeing the strong feeling will's
existed in the country on the subject, acquiesce in tly
entire remission of the advertisement duty. We 035,
therefore consider that remission as a fact virtualv
accomplished.

(Front the Daily News.) .
Mr. Gladstone, like a wise tactician, is no longer ill:
dined to force down the throats of an unwilling publif
and an adverse House of Commons his opinion aboe'
the advertisement tax. He has a hundred and atid
thousand pounds surplus, at any rate, in hand ;
though he would rather keep it all, he declares liims6"
not unwilling to surrender the beggarly 80,0001. he pr°:
posed to get by taxing the advertiser, or, in Pia'
terms, by checking publicity and preventing the exter4
sion of trade. He admits that the House of Commoili,
"has expressed a strong desire for the repeal of the '
vertisement duty "—a very modest way of eharacterisill
the divisions in favour of repealing that duty ;--3,Per
declares that the Government, having to choose whet
they shall give up the tax on attorneys or the tax on IPA
licity, they prefer relieving the press to giving 80,001 P
a-year to the lawyers. This decision will be popelibr„,.
throughout the country. The agitation of Mr. IViiics."
Gibson on the subject of the press has contributed
to the growth of public opinion respecting the Press
laws ; and the great injustice of the treble tax on news'
papers is now very generally condemned. Men 6e:l
when that one article happens to be a newspaper—the
that to keep three taxes one one article is unfair ; and
or—the
chief engine of modern popular enlightenment—the ill'
pression that some change should be made takes yell
deep root. The Newspaper Stamp, the Paper DetY'
and the Advertisement Tax, are now very generalli
regarded in their true light, and the removal of One
of these three imposts—the striking off of one clog--
from the Press will be hailed by the country at large
,e
as an equitable, wise, and proper step taken by th
Ministry. The reduction of the tax from js. 6d-
0
6d. on each advertisement was advocated upon the
principle that by such reduction no loss of revenue would
ed
arise. The increase of advertisements, the increase
consumption of newspaper stamps and of excise paling
paper, would, it was shown, have made up the deficienel
created by the reduction of the direct advertisement
duty. But, as Mr. Gladstone now points out clearly
enough, he has at any rate some 150,000/. to dispose of ;
and as the real question left for the House of Commons
and the Cabinet to settle—between contending and
powerful claimants—was whether the pressure of the
Attorneys' licence should be lessened, or the tax en
publicity be wholly removed—there could be no rooln
for doubt which should be done. All trade licences are {1
bad in principle. As means of raising money, they be'
long to a mischievous and theoretically exploded systeln
of finance. But until all of them can b 3 removed, to
reduce the tax on one class of licences would only be to
render still more irksome and unjust all those left Inv
to,:ched.
mr, Gladstone's decision to abolish the advertisement
tax is th,refore exactly the one to be expected from 3
wise and juol'cious minister, and the hearty spirit With
which the house accepted his resolve was shown by the
very significant division that followed soon after be had
made his statement. It now only remains for the House
of Commons to pass the needful bill repealing the adver
tisement tax, and ally parties concerned will find ample
materials for satisfaction in the results that must display
themselves. Trade will obtain new powers of extension
through greater facilities of publicity, whilst the news'
paper press will have to thank a free-trade Ministry for
the removal of al` shackle put upon it in those gloomy
days when tyrannical governments were fertile in schemel
for checking the growth of a free newspaper press.

SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday, July 20.—The Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, Captain if-
K. Joy, which left this port on Monday with the con-
tract mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gilr
raltar, returned this morning about 5 o'clock,' in cense-.
quence of having sustained a damage to one of the
engines, which rendered it impossible to use more than
one of them in propelling the vessel. The accident
occurred on Tuesday, when about 50 miles to the west-
ward of Land's End, and Captain Joy judged it expedient
to retrace his course to Southampton in order to get the
necessary repairs properly effected. Captain Engledue,
the superintendent of the Company, on the arrival of the
Tagus at Southampton, ordered the City of London,
Captain Cargill, to be immediately dispatched, and the
mails, passengers, and cargo were at once transferred
to that ship. So great was the expedition used in
performing this operation that the City of London was
ready for sea at 11 a.m., and started for her destination
shortly after that time, to prosecute the voyage unsuc-
cessfully undertaken by the Tagus. The latter vessel, it
is expected, will take the place of the City of London on
the Constantinople line, and the adjustment of the ma-
chinery will probably be accomplished in time to enable
the vessel to start within a day or two of the ap-
pointed time—viz., the 27th inst. The Pen:niailar and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Indus,
Soy, took her departure at 3 p.m. to-day Captain John
for Gibraltar,
Malta, and Alexandria, with the usual semi-monthly
mails for the Mediterranean, Egypt, Aden, India, China,
and the Eastern Archipelago. The Indus had about 50
passengers, a full general cargo, and the following specie
on freight :—For Malta, 2,0801. in gold ; Alexandria,
15,0001. in gold; Bombay, 23,0001. in silver; Madras,
3001. in silver; Calcutta, 5,000/, in silver; Penang, 2,0001.
in silver ; Singapore, 30,0001. in silver and 3001. in gold;
Hong Kong, 15,200/. in silver and 10,0001. in gold ;
Canton, 6,5004 in silver ; Shanghai, 5501. in silver
the total being 209,930/. The United States malt
steam-ship Washington, Capt. E. M. Fitch, also sailed
this afternoon for New York, with the British, French,
and German mails, up wards of 150 passengers, and a
very full and valuable cai-go of continental merchandise
Ltlayre. The General Screw'
shipped from Bremen and'
Steam-shipping Company's sip Queen of the South,
Captain Norman, which left Calcutta for Plymouth and
Southampton on the 14th of May; and would call at
Madras, Ceylon, Mauritius, the Cape, and St. Vincent,
is shortly expected at Plymouth and Southampton.
The Queen of the South has a full cargo, the chief items
of which are 83 bales and 63 cases of raw silks, 449'
chests of indigo, 2,237 packages of saltpetre, &c. The
Mauritius, belonging to the same company, is now over-
due, due, in consequence of her machinery being out
order, but is daily expected.
BREAK DOWN OP THE TALUS.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, which left South-
ampton at 3 p.m. on Monday with the Peninsular mail,
broke down near the Start, and returned to Southamp-
ton at 5 a.m. yesterday. By 11 a.m. the mails, passe
gers, and cargo were transhipped on board the_ above'
named company's chartered steamer the City of London-
,
and the latter had steamed out of the port. The Gibraitar portion of the mail from the steamer Tagus was placed
on board the Indus, which, left Southampton yesterday

At the general meeting of the London Joint-
Stook Bank Proprietors, held this morning, the
following report has been adopted
"On presenting the half-yearly accounts, the direc-
tors are happy to have it in their power to report the
eentinued progress of the business of the bank.
"It will be seen that the net profits of the half-year
are 31,540/. 3s. out of which sum the directors propose
make a dividend for the half-year after the rate of 81.
Per Cent. per annum, and to carry forward the remainder,
via.. 7,540/. 3s. to the credit of profit and loss account
of th e next half-year.
"The directors have had under their careful consider-
ation the suggestions made at the last meeting of share-
holders respecting the expediency of placing some re-
';_liction on the amount of which the Guarantee Fund
eueuld be allowed to attain, and they have consequently
,
"ste t:mined to divide annually in future the whole of the
/let profits amongst the shareholders, and not to put to
it fund any part thereof, excepting such fractions as
t
may be impossible to divide : so that henceforward
the Only additions to it will be interest after the rate of
3
Per cent., as required by the Deed of Settlement ; and
f"en they consider the important objects for which this
nd Was established, and that for the attainment of
hies° objects, a resort to the reserve which it provides
e3' be occasionally necessary, the directors trust that
as arrangement will be satisfactory to the shareholders.
, While calling the attention of the shareholders to
the duty they have this day to discharge, in filling up
t e existing vacancy in the direction, the directors wish
theavail themselves of the opportunity of expressing
eirl sense of the great worth and highly honourable
auaraeter of their late colleague, William Curling, Esq. ;
them the shareholders will, they are sure, participate with
b_e_l:ll in a feehng of regret at the loss which the bank
sustained. The only candidate to supply the va-
,43, is Philip William Flower, Esq., who is duly
qualified, and has given the requisite notices.
The dividend will be payable on and after Friday,
the 29th inst."

SPORTING NOTES.

SOMETHING ABOUT STAMFORD.

Fine sunny weather, and the attraction which invari-
ably centres in a " Cup Day," brought together a large
assemblage of spectators. The sport, however, was in-
significant and unexciting, the principal incident being
the starting and defeat of Weathergage for the Steward's
Plate. This horse arrived at Stamford unexpectedly this
morning, having been "telegraphed" for on the preceding
day. He was freely backed at evens against the field, and
his party appeared to he sorely disappointed at his sorry
exhibition. Young Steggles rode the winner (Racka-
pelt) with admirable patience and consummate judg-
ment.
Nutpecker won the Gold Cup, little Oliver wearing
Lord Exeter's colours for the first time. His successful
mount was very fortunate, and he will now, perhaps,
frequently sport the " blue and white jacket." The
other races were too unimportant to require particular
comment.
Having already referred to the events to be decided
at Nottingham to-morrow (Thursday), I will now direct
attention to the probable result of Friday's " fixtures."
lanthe, notwithstanding her 51b. penalty, ought, if in-
tended, to be capable of winning the Chesterfield Han-
dicap. Her most formidable opponents will perhaps be
Calot and The Maid of Monton filly. The Bunney Park
Stakes may occasion an interesting race. Meteora,
Village Lass, and Horatio are most entitled to notice ;
and should the three, start, I shall expect to see them
pass the judge's chair in the order in which I have set
down their names. I have not yet received the nomi-
nations for the other stakes.
By an accommodating arrangement, a train was in
readiness after the races this afternoon to convey the
sporting visitors from Stamford to Nottingham.
A FRESH MAN.
Stamford, Wednesday night.
