PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 9 A.M.

Advices from Bayonne of the 24th inst, state
hat, according to a letter from Siragossa, dated
,he 20th inst., General Falcon had held a review

of 16,000 men.

A. battalion of Royalists, which had left Tudola,
revolted on arriving near the town and joined the
insurgents. The Custom-house officials did the

same.

15,000 mAitiamen or peasants, coming from

Quinca, were advancing to join the Arragonese.
The frontier of Navarre is tranquil.

MARSEILLES, JULY_ 24.

The pa,cket-boat, the Cid, has just come in,

with accounts from Barcelona.

On the 233, at eight a.m., the troops were
masters of every point, but still remained under

arms.

Preparations were being made for executing
the persons who were taken with arms in their

hands.

The strife was very sanguinary. According to
the estimate of the commander of the Cid, the
number of killed and wounded on both sides can-
not have been less than 1,200.

&moral Ruiz commands the garrison at Ge.

rona, which has risen.

HAMBURG, JULY 23.

Accounts from Warsaw state that the transpor

direct to St. Peterburg and Moscow of foreign
merchandise, which was allowed during the late
war through the Polish custom-house of Wiers-
bolow and Nieszawa, is now interdicted by order
of the Russian Minister of Finance.

Count Walewski-was at Baden Baden, on Tues-
day (on his return from Hombourg), and had an
interview there with Count de Morny.

despatch the whole of them, when the duke
interfered and persuaded the soldiers to spare
their lives, and only make them prisoners. It is
supposed that Don Patric Escosura is concealed
at one of the emba:]sie:l. His brother was seen at
ono moment of the struggle to throw limself into
the arms of Puchei-,a, and embrace him great

warmth. A. s!,rict search is being made for him,
but hitherto without success. .

At the first cemmeucement of the contest her
Majesty was surrounded by the Duchess d'Albe,
the Dukes de Baylen and de Saragossa, the Mar-
quis d'Alcanices, Counts de Punonrostro and
d'Altainira, General 53,11 Miguel, and M. Melchior
Ordoiiez, ex-Minister of the Interior. Generals
LTrbistondo, Larrocha, Sanz, Mayalde, Galiano,
and Rodeiguez Soler also presented themselves
at the palace, as did several political men, such as
ex-ministers, members of the old and new Cortes,
and journalists, and a great number of other per-
sons, most of them belonging to the Conservative
party. The moment the insurrection brok out al-
most all the officers not on active service, but then
in the capital, placed themselves at the disposal of
the Government."
It so happens, and it is a curious coincidence at
the present moment, that for several days past
great quantities of munitions of war have been
conveyed by railway from Bordeaux to Bayonne.
The French Government journals, in reporting
the fact, are careful to explain that these
trap ports have DO connection with the move-
ment of troops towards the Spanish frontier.
The munitions, they say, come from depots which
were formed to supply the army of the Crimea,
and which are now in due course being deposited
in the arsenal of Bayonne.

returned for Glasgow in the place of Mr. John M‘Gre-
gor. We know that Mr. Wilson's chances of election
for Westbury were " nil," but he has wall earned the

command of Colonel Parker, was this morning reviected
in the Great Park by the Earl of Cardigan. Earl
Mountcharles, Lieutenant F. D. Megens, Viscount
Grey De Wilton, and Lord Charles B. Bruce put the

CULTIVATION OF C3TTON.—Mr. J. B. Sharp had an
interview with the directors of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, yesterday, to explain to them the course
which the projected Fibre Company intend to take in
reference to the cultivation of cotton. The directors
took much interest in the statements laid before them,
but could not as a chamber undertake to give any active
assistance to the company. The president expressed
the satiJaction of the chamber that efforts such AS those
intended should be undertaken.
THE LATE DREADFUL COLLIE RY EXPL)SION IN WALE S
—Great excitement continues in the neighbourhood of
the recent explosion, extending through the whole of
the colliery district up to the neighbourhood of Aber-
dare. It was found necessary to call in the aid of a
strong body of the county police force for the prevention
of any outbreak. Communications which we (Swansea
Herald) have received from the neighbourhood informs
us that a strong feeling exists among the colliers against
the parties employed as firemen at the time of the
accident, and also against the manager for appointing
them.
The prospectus has been issued of the United King-
dom Provisi,in Company, with a capital of 500,000/. in
1/. shares. The object is to carry on the provision trade
by means of an extensiYe or,;anisatioii, so as to insure
steady supplies from all the principal markets, as well as
consignments trout the Continent and America. Flour,
meal, butter, cheese, bacon, poi k, &c., ars the chief
articles to be dealt in, and the company contemplate
giving an extension of credit to any customers among
their shareholders on a deposit of shares. The scheme
is one of those which must depend entirely upon manage-
in en t.

NVELcolfg TO THE FOURTH DRAGOON GUARDS AT
SHEFFIELD.—Toe beaci.C4uarters of the 4:h Regiment of
Dragoon Guards, which so greatly distinguished itself in
the cavalry charge at Belaklava, having become located
at Sheffield, a public dinner is announced to take place
at the Cutlers' Hall, on Thursday nest, under the pre-
sidency of the Mayor of Sheffield, to give a welcome to
the officers on the return of the regiment from the
Crier ea. The Earl of Cardigan has accepted the invita-
tion of the mayor to be present at the dinner. Sir Harry
Smith has been invited to be present, and it is also in
c mtemplatien to invite the nes commander-in-chief,
the Duke of Cambridge. On the following Thursday a
dinner will be given to the privates of the regiment, in-
vitations to which will also be given to all the men in
Sheffield, of whatever regiment, who have taken part in
the etig igements in the Crimea.—Manchester Guardian.
ROBBING THE PATRIOTIC FUND. —On removing the
box placed in the booking-office of the Great Northern
Railway station at Doncaster, for the reception of penny
subscriptions on behalf of the Patriotic Fund, it was
found that sorne mean thief bad rifled the receptacle of
its contents by slitting a hole in the back of the box,
which is male of tin, and forcing his hand into the aper-
ture. It is believed a cousiderable sum of money has
been thus stolen, for it was discovered that two pieces of
paper (the Great Northern Company's waybill') had
been pasted over the hole just mentioned, indicating at
least two visits to the box by the depredator, and it was
known that a good deal of silver had been put into it.
The box has been sent to Mr. Williams, the superin-
tending constable of the Great Northern line ; and, as
the officials at Doncaster are act without some clue to
the identification of the thief, it is hoped he may yet be
discovered and punished for this flagitious offence.
According to advices received in New York from Con-
stantinople, it is in c tntemplation to start a line of
steamers between New York and Odessa, touching at
various intermediate ports in the Mediterranean. A
statement was added which pet haps had no other foun-
dation than the hopes of the projectors, that " the Czar
is expected to subsidise the line, with the view of con-
necting more and more his country with the United
States." The plan would be for the vessels to touch at
Marseilles and Smyrna on their passage to Odessa, and
at Smyrna and Genoa on their return.

TIM JULY FETKS AT BRUSSELS.

BRUSSELS, Wednesday.—The illuminations last
night were extraordinarily brilliant. All the pub-
lic buildings were lighted up with variegated lamps
or ps, and there was hardly a single street in the
whole city which was not illuminated in some way
or other ; those in the commercial and aristocratic
parts of the town with flaunting Chinese lanterns
and lamps and gas, those in the humbler quarters
with modest wax candles. Of the illuminations at
the public expense, those of the Hotel de Ville and
the Boulevard du Jardin Botaniquo were most
admired. In some of the streets, particularly in
those along which the King passed on Monday,
the illuminations, both in number and splendour,
far exceeded plaything ever witnessed in Paris.
The British Embassy was illuminated with the
initials V. R., and the English and Belgian flags
combined—all in variegated lamps.
To-day we have had a spectacle which perhaps
Belgium alone, of any European country, could
produce in such perfection. It has been a grand

- -
historical and allegorical cavalcade, got up with
really astonishing splendour, and at the same time
characterised by excellent taste. The first part of
it brought the " olden time" in vivid reality before
us ; and the latter represented the triumphs of
modern civilisation in the most admirable man-
ner. First, came what was called " the Car of
Limburg," drawn by eight horses, with decorations
and personages symbolising the expulsion of the
Romans from that province by the Franks about
the year 488, the car being preceded and followed
by Roman prisoners on foot and Frank victors on
horseback, all in the costumes of the epoch, a num-
ber of oxen following to symbolise the Roman mi-
gration. Then came a car from Luxembourg re-
presenting St. Hubert preaching the gospel ; the
household and followers of Alberic, first count of
Luxembourg, preceding and following ; the car was,
besides, accompanied by huntsmen and a pack of
hounds. The next car was that of the province of
Llainault, and contained a gigantic statue of Bald-
win, seventh count of Hainault, ninth count of
Flanders, and first emperor of Constantinople ; the
car was followed by 60 minstrels. Tile next oar was
that of Eastern Flanders, and in it was a statue
of the great patriot Van Artevelde ; it was pre-
ceded and followed by horsemen. Then came
a cortege from Western Flanders, respecting
the institution of the Order of the Golden Fleece
by Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, on his
marriage with Isabella of Portugal. The next car
was that of Brabant ; it was in the form of the hull
of a gigantic ship, and contained, with a number
of attendants, Charles V. seated on his throne,
with his aunt Margaret of Austria, his sister Mary,
his son, afterwards Philip 11., his principal cour-
tiers, &c. Then came a car of Antwerp, contain-
ing all the principal artists of the time of Albert
and Isabella. Next came a car of the town of
Namur followed by a splendid cavalcade. This
terminated the historical part of the procession.
The cars, the costumes, the flags, the banners,
the music, the horses—all were admirable. Un-
like what is seen on similar occasions else-
where, and even on the stage of some of the
best European theatres, the various costumes,
flags, &c., especially of the different historical per-
sonages, were minutely exact, and all appeared to
be quite now, and of the very best velvet, silk, and
other material; some of the flags were specially
made for the occasion at Lyons. What was called
the allegorical part of the procession consisted of a
series of seven cars—one containing agricultural
productions, implements, peasants, and even sheep;
another filled with locometives, works in iron, &c. ;
a third containing arms of Liege ; another devoted
to horticulture, and so on. In some of the cars, all of
which were splendidly getup, were busts of the King
crowned with laurel, and in others were large inscrip-
tions of "Namur to Leopold the Wise," " Grate-
ful Hainault to the King," " Twenty-five years of
peace and prosperity," " To the King, protection
of labour," &c. Each car was preceded and fol-
lowed by troops of peasants, miners, fishermen,
wool-dressers, workers in iron—in a word, work-
men of all trades, all in their respective costumes,
and carrying the implements of their different
callings. In the course of the procession there was
no end of banners, and at intervals were bands of
music.
The weather for the spectacle has been most
auspicious—not a cloud in the sky and a glorious
sun. The crowds that have filled the streets and
occupied every window of every house on the
line of procession have been immense ; and they
have manifested their delight at the sight by most
enthusiastic acclamations.

BRUSSELS, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 24.
The three days' helyday terminated last night
with a display of fireworks, let off from an open
space in the vicinity of the Place St. Joseph. Alto-
gether they were much of the same kind as those
exhibited in the London parks on the celebration of
the peace, though an illuminated view of the Chateau
de Lteken and an allegorical temple surmounted
bya crown connected them with thefestivities of the
day. Every place from which a sight of the tran-
sient glories could be obtained was densely
thronged, and, as the King and his family saw
them from an apartment situate behind the tempo-
rary throne on the Place, a new opportunity for
shouting " Vivo le Roy 1" was afforded to the de-
lighted multitude, who hailed the Royal carriage ;
as they approached and departed from the site of
observation.

The half-yearly meeting of the Great Western Rail-
way Company is called for the 15th August.
S r Charles Wood bad a levee yesterday at the Ad-
miralty, when the following officers attended : —Admiral
G. Raymond, Captains L. T. Jones, H. Layton, F.
Ball( ck, F. D. Hutcheson, G. Hathorn, J. Rawstorne,
Mark J. Currie, Cowper P. Coles, F. L. M'Clintock,
and Samuel Wriford ; Colonel J. A. Philips, R.M. ;
Commanders J. C!avell, H. M. Elliott, G. Raymond,

Hamilton, R. Hoops, Colin A. Campbell, and C. H.
Young ; Drs. A. Bryson and J. G. Stewart.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an
inquest at the Clerkenwell Workhouse, touching the
death of Mr. James Macnab, aged 36 years, late a sur-
geon in the 93d Highlanders, oche died whilst in custody
at the Clerkenwell Police-station, on Tuesday morning
last. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased
had been for some time of intemperate habits. The post
mortem examination showed congestion of the brain to
have been the immediate cause of death, the congestion
being produced by the excessive use of intoxicating
liquors. Verdict accordingly.
GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA RAILWAY.—A. prospec-
tus has been issued for 250,000/. of the mortgage bonds
of the Detroit and Milwaukie, a line running in connec-
tion with that company. They are 7/. per cent. bonds,
and are issued at 751. The London board, of the Great
Western of Canada recommend them, and state that by
a traffic arrangement their company will retain a suffi-
cient amount of the receipts from through traffic to meet
the interest, and also that Mr. G. Wytbes has entered
into a contract for the completion of the line for a fixed
corn.
Tess BRUSSELS FREE TRADE INTERNATIONAL CON-
GRESS.—A circular has been published by the president
and secretary of the International Congress which is to
aesamble at Brussels, towards the end of September, to
discuss the subject of universal customs' reform and free
trade in general. In this circular they prescribe the
order of their proceedings. The object of the Congress
is comprehensively stated as "to collect from every
country, and every branch of human industry, all facts,
laws, regulations, or other information which may, for
good or evil, affect the labour of each country, either
by hindering or facilitating the exchange of the results
of that labour for foreign productions."

TELESCOPIC DETECTION OF THIEVES.—The managers
of the Glasgow and Renfrew Railway have been greatly
annoyed by the mysterious disappearance of portions of
merchandise entrusted to their care for conveyance. The
^b-traction of a few bottles of the " barley bree " fr:mi
the puncheons was of almost di i y occurrence. Every
manoeuvre to entrap the mysterious spirit stealers was
tried in vain, and the manager, Mr. Congleton, was al-
most on the point of despairing, when, having provided
himself with a good telescope on Saturday of arooon, be
placed himself in such a position in the station-house as
to command a view of a large portion of the line. A
train laden with barrels was on its way to Renfrew, and
when a good way down, Mr. Congleton, through his
glass, observed that the horse was brought up and tn,
truck brought to a standstill • a hole was soon bored
in the barrels, and about a gallon and a half of whisky
abstracted. The train then resumed its progress, wt it •
the 'persons who were in collusion with the driver
proceeded to Paisley with their baoty. Before entering
the town they were met by the police, who were sent fiat.
in the interim, and taken into custody. The prisoners
have been committed for trial.—Glasgow Post.
THE BRITISH FOREIGN LEGION.—PoRTSMOUTH, joly
24.—Thirteen hundred men of the Britis'a Foreign Legion
have during the week been encamped in a new camp at
Browndown, about four miles distant from this garrison,
on the Gosport side. The spot is best indicated by
desi-ribing it as on thu banks of the S dent Water,
immediately opposite Osborne House, of which a
fine view is to be ob'ained from the camp ground,
whilst the camp itself must be plainly discernible
from tba-. marine re :i fence of her Majesty. The
camp is entirely one •of canvas tents, the only thing
like edifice being the canteen, which is situated
at the extreme eEd. The tents are the usual ones
supplied to the army, each giving accommodation to 12
toe The ground is well situated for the health of th.
men, being dry and elevated, so as to be swept by the
sea breez?, whilst the country at its rear is open. An
abundant supply of excellent water has been secured
from wells which have been stink. Some 6,000 men
are inteadel to be assembled here ; other regiments
of the German Legion being daily expected to arrive.
The camp, it is reported, will be a permanent one, but
whether it will be to for regiments of the German Le
gion or of the British army, is not lyost known. Tte
senior officer at pres,nt is Col. Dickson, commandant of
the Swiss portion of the Br tish Foreign Legion. The
troops now stationed at. Browndown are those who
within the past few days have been reported as having
arrived from the East.
