Chasseurs tie Vincennes. Their beautiful new
standard, the eagle on tricolour, was waved high in
the air by the gallant defenders of it ; and the
cheering was universal as trio Chasseurs went on
board the Cocyte to be conveyed to the Terma-
gant.
This morning, at 5 o'clock, trumpets and drums
awakened the inhabitants of this ancient city, and
the chamber windows were crowded to see the last
of the gallant soldiers. Her Majesty's paddle-
steamers Fearless and Adder had steam up, each
of which received on board two companies, in all
about 500 officers and men, who were quickly con-
veyed on board the Edwin Fox.
TheLarnorien, French corvette, shipped 20 horses
this morning belonging to the artillery, and in so
doing they were very nearly losing one of their
finest animals. Whilst in slings the horse struggled
a great deal, and the slings happening to slip for-
ward, the animal became suspended by the head.
It was a case of hanging or drowning ; but the
horse fearfully plunged, and at length slipped out
of the slings and fell into the water. Additional
confusion ensued, but after some 5 minutes the
animal was secured and safely got on board, but
much exhausted. A great quantity of fodder was
also taken on board the Lamorien for the Baltic.

The Lizard has received two companies of Sap-
pers and Miners for the Asmodee, French steam-
frigate. _ _

The 2,700-ton screw-ship Prince arrived at 5
p.m., when immediately the remainder of the troops
embarked. The Sprightly and Adder took three
companies each, the French packet (artillery) two
companies, and the Wildfire one company—in all
nearly 1000 rank and file.
_ _

The general, accompanied by Admiral Lapierre,
went off in the Dasher with Captain Lefebre.
The mayor and the principal civic authorities
also went off to the squadron in the steam-tender
Fire Queen, Master Commander Paul, and hearty,
cheering was interchanged as they passed the trans-
ports and men-of-war.

- The Avon and Comet were employed to put on
board the Ordnance and other stores, and thus com-
pleted the embarkationaof the advanced division of
the French army of 10,000 men in English men-
of-war and transports.
The French line-of-battle ships Tilsit and St.
Louis will proceed in their wake, followed by the
Asmodee and Fulton. There will be a lull for
some three weeks until another division can be got
ready, and other English steam-ships and trans-
ports be ready to receive them.

The Emperor and the Empress took their de-
parture for Biaritz yesterday morning by the Or-
leans Railway, at eleven o'clock precisely. The
terminus was handsomely fitted up for the occa-
sion with flags and evergreens, and a saloon of
honour was prepared for their Majesties' reception.
A great number of high personages had assembled
to pay their respects to the Imperial travellers be-
fore their departure, and amongst them were M.
Fould, Minister of State; M. Drouyn de l'Huys, Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs; M. Fortoul, Minister of
Public Instruction ; Marshal Vaillant, Minister of
War; Marshal Ma?man, Commander-in-Chief of the
Army of Paris; GeLeral Regnault St. Jean d'Angely,
commander of the Imperial Guard ; General d'Haut-
poul, grand referendary of the Senate ; General de
Lawcestine, commander of the National Guard ;
M. Baroche, president of the Council of State ; M.
Mocquart, secretary to the Emperor ; the Prefects
of Police and of the Seine ; Colonel Isnard, (17c.
MM. Didion, De Richemont, Dufeu, and Cochin,
directors of the Orleans Railway, were in attend-
ance, and received. their Majesties. The Emperor
and Empress conversed most affably with the
various persons present, and on proceeding to the
train the Emperor shook hands with the ministers
and marshals. The railway directors accompanied
their Majesties in the Imperial waggon ; as did the
ladies of honour of the Empress, Colonel Fleury,
and the chamberlains. At 11 o'clock precisely, M.
Pelissier, the station-master, gave the signal for
departure, and the next moment the train moved
off amidst loud acclamations.

The Emperor and Empress reached Angouleme
at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
The Moniteur announces that the Emperor, on
his return from Biarritz in August, will take the
command of the camp at Boulogne.
The extreme fineness of the weather yesterday
has had the effect of giving a certain firmness to the
French funds. The Three per Cents. are 15c. higher,
at 70f. GOc. The Four-anda-Half per Cents. are un-
altered, at 97f. 50c. Bank of France Shares are

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19.

The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic,
Captain West, arrived this afternoon, with advices
from New York to the Bth inst. ; 202 passengers,
and $800,0013 on freight. She passed the Africa,
hence for New York, on the 10th, and the Emerald
Isle, inside Sandy Hook, on the Bth.
The United States' mail steam-ship Baltic, Capt.
Comstock, arrived hence at New York, at 1.5 a.m.,
on the 18th inst., after a remarkably rapid passage.
The Senate had passed Mr. Clayton's bill for a
more effectual suppression of the slave trade, by
restricting transfers of American vessels in foreign
ports.
Business was dull at New York at the departure
of the steamer. Money tight ; stock declining ;
the market in a panic.
The authorities at New York had thought it ne-
cessary to issue the usual notice respectinger the pre-
valence of cholera. The two operas w e closed,
in
consequence of the indisposition from slight attacks
of cholera of Mesdames Anna Thillon and Maret-
zek. At Boston, Philadelphia, and at St. Louis
especially, where 207 deaths occurred in a week,
the epidemic was spreading. Accounts from the
Plains state that the disease was creating much ha-
voc among the emigrants.
A very destructive fire had occurred at Philadel-
phia, which destroyed the National Theatre, the
guard-houses, and a number of other handsome
buildings, with their contents. An actor, named
Shephard, lost his life by returning to the burning
theatre in search of his watch.
The New Orleans Debater intimates that the clip-
per ship Grapeshot was off the Cuban coast endea-
vouring to land warlike stores for the use of the
disaffected inhabitants of the island.-

The anniversary of the establishment of the Re-
public had been celebrated with the usual cere-
monies.

Several disturbances had occurred in various
parts of the country, originating in the growing
ill feeling between the native Americans and the
Irish. At Manchester, New Hampshire, a severe
fight took place, with injury to both sides. A Ro-
man Catholic chapel was very much damaged. At
Dorchester, Massachusetts, a Roman Catholic
chapel had been blown up with gunpowder. Some
persons attributed the destruction of the chapel to
the native Americans ; others asserted that the
Roman Catholics had deposited arms and gun-
powder there for the protection of the chapel.
At Bath, Maine, au itinerant preacher, known
by the sobriquet of the " Angel Gabriel," lectured
against Popery, and so excited the mob that seve-
ral hundreds proceeded to the Runan Catholic
church, broke in the doors and windows, rang the
bell, and finally set fire to the building, utterly
destroying it. The mob afterwards paraded the
streets, manifesting their gratification at this
achievement in the most boisterous manner.

Speaking of the Fishery and Reciprocity Bills,
the Washington correspondent of the New York.
_Herald says:—
" The general impression among senators is, that the
Fishery and Reciprocity treaty will not be acted
upon in any way this session. The committee on Fo-
reign Relations have not touched it yet, and manifest no
disposition to do so. Its postponement till next session
is the only chance that it has ; for if it were taken up by
the Senate now it would probably be rejected, almost
without debate."
We extract the following account of the fatal col-
lision between the ships Trade Wind and Olympus
from the New York lierald. It will be recollected
that a seaman of the former ship arrived in Liver-
pool a few days ago, having been picked off a float-
ing mast, where he lived for seven days without
food :

"We are called upon to record another calamity at
sea by which several lives hairs been lost. On the night
of the 26th of June, at about 11 o'clock, the ship Trade
Wind came in contact with the ship Olympus, in latitude
41.50 and longitude 57.20, and so violent was the colli-
sion that both vessels sunk beneath the waves within an
hour after. The Trade Wind was a fine three-deck
vessel, built by the late Jacob Bell, of this city, for the
southern trade, and was on her voyage from Mobile for
Liverpool. She was 2,018 tons burden, about three
years old, valued at $lOO,OOO, and was largely insured
in Wall street. Her freight is valued at $50,000, and
her cargo at about $250,000, the latter being insured
principally in England. She was owned by W. Platt
and Son, of Philadelphia, and Booth and Edgar, and
others, of New York. She was commanded by Captain
Smith, and had nu board at the time of the accident 17
passengers and a crew numbering 34. The weather was
very thick, the wind was blowing quite hard, and the
night was very dark, when the eAlision took place. • The
other vessel, the Olympus, was commanded by Captain
Wallace, and sailed from Liverpool on the 24th of May
for Boston, having in all 53 souls on board, 40 of them
passengers, and the rest of them the crew. She was
loaded with iron and general hardware. The vessels
struck each other in the bows, staving in the Trade
Wind, and pinking her within an hour after the shock.

The Olympus went down within half an hour of the
Trade Wind. Ten of the crew of the Olympus, the cap-
tain, and 37 of the passeruznrs were saved ; and the cap-
tain of the Trade Wind, 16 of her crew, and all ht .r pas-
sengers were saved. This shows the loss of the Olympus
to be three passengers and three of her crew ; 18 of the
Trade Wind's crew perished.
"The fallowing are the names of the passengers saved
from the Trade Wind :—Mrs. Frank Smith and 2 chil-
dren, Mr. David T. Newlan, Mr. Alexander Ewing,
lady, and daughter, Mr. John S. Gliddon, Mrs. John
Gilson, 4 children, and servant, Miss C. D. Chamber-
lain, and Miss Alice Dodson.
" The names of the crew lost from the Trade Wind
are :—Thomas Pierce, carpenter ; John Assew, first
steward ; John Achow, second cook ; John Mitchell,
James Conner, Wm. Smith, Franklin Hartby, James
Bowen, Thomas Hill, Joseph Addison, John Martin,
Michael Walsh, Charles Town, Jeremiah M`Carty, all
seamen ; Richard Bingham, Jas. Brady, Manuel Lewis,
and Luke O'Toole, boys.
" The names of the crew saved are Capt. F. Smith,
Edward W. F. Smith, first officer ; James Caw, second
ditto ; Charles E. Meeney, third ditto ; Matthew Buck,
boatswain ; Ann Conner, stewardess ; Samuel Achow,
second steward ; John Alen, cook ; Peter Williams,
James Wheelan, Thomas Harnson, James Moore, John
Baker, James Boyce, Adam Hooper, Charles Wilson,
John Melvain, Wm. Daniels, Thomas Doran, George
Smith, John Scob, James Drummond, Thomas Nowlan.
James Powers, and John Brown."

The demand for money was very active at the
close, and the banks and discount houses were un-
able to satisfy all the applicants. Exchange was
quoted at 9 and 9b on London. Cotton was more
buoyant, and had advanced in some instances k to
of a cent. Canada flour continued very inani-
mate, and prices had still further receded 25 to 37.1
cents, the market closing very quiet at $7 to $7
371 c., in bond, for common to good. Indian corn
meal was 121 c. lower, with only moderate sales.
Wheat also had materially declined, the reduction
on some descriptions amounting from 10c. to
15c., with a slack demand. There had been large
supplies of Indian corn, and rates were declining.
Western pork continued depressed, at a decline of
87Ac. for mess, and 50c. to 30c. for prime. Beef
in slow request, and prices without alteration.
Lard was less active, and supplies had increased,
while prices had receded -lc. to Rc. Butter and
cheese without alteration. Tobacco was inactive,
without change in value. Naval stores generally
were dull, without material variation. Freights
continued firm, and higher rates had been ob-
tained. The supply of tonnage was fair, and the
demand moderate.

Judge Campbell, of New Orleans, in the matter
of the reported Cuban expedition, held General
Quitman, Mr. Thrasher, and Dr. Saunders in
bond for $3,000. They all refused to give bonds,
and were placed in the custody of the United
States' Marshal.

Seven persons had been killed on the Great
Western Railroad. The train came in collision
with a horse, and went off the line.
The Germania, from Bremen for New York, had
put into Boston short of coals.

RAILWAYS AND POLITICS IN CANADA.

It appears that the defeat of Mr. Mucks and the Minis-
try on the address, which led to the immediate dissolution
of the House of Assembly, was brought about by the acci-
dental union of the old McNab Tories of Canada West
with the Mackenzie "Clear-grit" Radicals, who, knowing
that a dissolution under any circumstances was to take
place in a month, seized the opportunity of making
electioneering speeches, which they were obliged to
clench with their votes,dreaming little of the abrupt
consequences which their factious conduct was sure to pro-
duce. The opposition to Mr. Hincks partakes entirely of
a personal character, and not against his policy, for all his
measures have been pre-eminently successful, and whatever
Ministry may be formed it will have to follow, and carry
out his policy ; ho was becoming too Conservative and dicta-
tional for even the M`Nab Tories, and political hostility
has also been influenced by personal pecuniary considera-
tions connected with railway interests in Upper and Lower
Canada. Messrs. M‘Nab, Sherwood, Langton, &c., &c.,
have been promoters of the Great Western Railway of
Canada, and its extensions under Canadian directors and
contractors solely. Mr. Mucks determined on a National
Railroad Policy under one management, with an English
Board of Directors, in order that iiritish capitalists might
exercise a proper control over their property ; hence, he
has since had to encounter all the abuse of disappointed
contractors, and the unscrupulous attacks of parties, who
last year openly declared that they would use every means
in their power to damage the credit of the Government,
and of the Grand Trunk Railway in England. That Mr.
Hincks has pursued an enlightened railway policy, no
friend of Canada attempts to dispute ; his resolve is to
encourage capital to flow into Canada under legitimate
protection and control—the result will soon be appreciated.
The Great Western will cost nearly 14,000/. per mile
under exclusive local management while the Grand Trunk
will not cost more than 9,000 per mile. There also can be
no doubt but what Lord Elgin comes in for his share of un-
popularity, notwithstanding the energy and talent he has
shown in developing the vast resources of this magnificent
country. It is, however, to be regretted that Mr. Hincks
and the Ministry did not go through the form of sending
their resignation in a body; it would have been for Lord
Elgin to accept or refuse it, and then, under the circum-
stances, he would have been justified in dissolving the Par-
liament in the abrupt manner he did.

The Victoria Bridge, at Montreal, is giving signs of
active work; the abutment on the Montreal side of the
river will be built this summer. Lord Elgin will, if cir-
cumstances permit, lay the first stone in the beginning of
August. The pumping out of two coffer dams had com-
menced, and soon as dry the masonry will commence.
Abundance of skilled labour is to be procured, but only at
very high prices.—Liverpool Courier.

ACCELERATION OF THE OVERLAND MAIL.—In conse-
quence of the opening of another portion of the railway
to Marseilles, that portion of the mails to India, China,
and Australia, sent via France, will be despatched a
day later—namely, on the 9th and 25th of every month.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGINEHAN AND GUARD.
—We are informed that the board of the London and
North-Western Railway Company have, after the most
careful inquiry and investigation, decided on adopt-
ing the plan introduced by Professor Gluckman, of
which notice has already been taken in this and other
journals • and that, definitive arrangements having been
completed, the apparatus will be applied to all the
trains of the company as rapidly as the necessary ma-
chinery can be provided.
NEW CLUB-HOUSE AT THE WEST-END—A. general
meeting of the members of the Junior United Service
Club was held yesterday, to ballot for plans for the new
house. Those submitted by Mr. T. M. Nelson, archi-
tect, were adopted. The new club-house is to occupy
the site of the present house at the corner of Regent-
street, Waterloo-place, as well as the St. Alban's Hotel,
in Charles-street, and the houses forming one side of St.
Alban's-place. When finished it will be one of the
largest club-houses in the metropolis.
IMPROVEMENTS IN PIMLICO.—Six of the houses at the
corner of James-street, facing Buckingham-gate, St.
James's-park, were yesterday morning pulled down, for
the purpose of commencing the new street which is to
run up into the Vauxhall-bridge-road. The houses in
of the
neighbourhood, which has for
traffic
cd
productive of much inconvenience
some years past been ra-
pidlyquestion abutted upon Buckingham
t o Palace,the
Phouses have been
completed there will be an uninterrupted t upon the demolition of t ese
quen

Storey's-gate at the end of Great George-street to t he
Vauxhall-bridge-road.
WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.—Within the past few
the
electors notices have bean widely circulated among
electors of Westminster calling upon the Liberals to pay
up all poor rates and other taxes due up to the sth of
January on or before the 20th July inst., to enable them
to qualify themselves in order that their names might
not be struck from the list of voters for members to serve
in Parliament for the borough of Westminster.
BAHIA, JUNE 17.—A LUCKY SHIP,—The Trident left
us on the Bth May. I suppose for the last time till she
is ordered home. Express here in her place. Last night
a Yankee barque came in, having on board 150 casks of
wine and some cases which she says she picked up at
sea. The account she gives of herself is, that she was
out for a three years' whaling cruise, and came in here to
buy a chain cable and sell the wine. It is French. I
do not think that the authorities here will allow her to
sell her findings in this market. A very nice little prize
for her—at least 40,000 dollars. Her Britannic Ma•
jesty's consul of this place goes home by the mail
steamer to try to get up a railway company for a line
from this to the interior, where there is a splendid cotton
district. If he succeeds it will be a capital thing for
Bahia. I am afraid money is too valuable iu England
just now.—Plymouth Mail.

THE SHILLING GUIDE TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE,—The
S itshi lal ipnpge aGr
aunicdee,
at
co d the,
es
a matter of course, has received
some further important
additions, which the progress made in the Crystal Palace
and its internal arrangements has rendered necessary.
The nature of these addenda be
will seen from the fol-
lowing cm sory outline :—An account of the ceremony
of the opening of the Crystal Palace on the 10th of June.
A correct ground plan of the building, with
plans of
the galleries and basement, b •
being the only complete
plan yet given, and also various illustrations of the Fine
Arts Courts and Natural History departments. A de-
scription of the French Court, with • notices of the Sevres
porcelain and Beauvais tapestry, sent by the Emperor
of the French, and some of the principal bronzes and
other works of art exhibited. The addition of the
figures of reference, and an easy mode of finding each
work of art or other object of interest referred to in the
~Guide." The alterations consist principally in a re-
arrangement of the galleries of busts and of the Modern
Sculpture Courts, rendered necessary by the changes
which have taken place in the positions occupied by
them in the building.
THE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—yesterday
the usual half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors
in this society was held at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of receiving the financial account, and upon
other business ; Mr. Harnett presided. The minutes of
the last meeting having been confirmed, Mr. Brown, the
actuary, read the financial statement, which showed the
society to be in a very satisfactory position. A resolu-
tion was then moved that the remuneration to the di-
rectors be 1,0001. instead of 7501. per annum, but upon
the question being put an amendment was proposed that
the sum remain as heretofore. Considerable discussion
ensued, but upon the chairman putting the amendment,
he declared it to be lost, the original motion fon the
granting of the 1,0001. being carried by ten to eight, two
directors voting for the amendment, and one for the ori-
ginal motion. The election of an auditor in the place of
Mr. Halsey, resigned, having been proceeded with, a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.
