engaged that theywill not listen to any further
conceesfons. There is some little business in yarns
for most markets, but the principal sales have been
in water twist for Germany. Cloths are hardly so
steady in price as yarns, but there is an impression
of coming improvement that keeps manufacturers
from pressing sales upon the market unduly. A
good many buyers are in town who came over from
America by the last steamer, and there is now a
prospect that old stocks lying over since the late
crisis will be fairly swept off, and encouragement
be given to new operations. There is also a strong
impression that the home trade houses will buy
more freely so soon as the June stock-takings are
over, from the fact that the quantities of goods held
by them are much lighter than usual. There is but
little doing for India, owing to the holders of pro-

.DVERTISEMENTI.—Tho misery the d7sappointment, the
.nterminable expense of ineffectual "physic-taking," are now
happily superseded by the use of Messrs Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, which, by a pleasing and natural action on the
system, removes chronic anti exhausting disease, and replaces
languor and pain by vigour and health. Thos. whom it has
restored to the enjoyment of life include persons belonging
to all social grades and professions, and it is a proof that the
emotion of gnat tude is more general than cynics imagltia;
when we find upwards of Fifty Thousand of the individuals.
thus relieved publicly expressing their sense of the benefits
they have detived. The peer and the clergyman, the lawyer
and the physician, the naval and- military officer, the imp. --
chant, tradesman, and oven the pope mechanic, have joined
in this unanimous and unparalleled tektimonial. 'Their ie.
knowledgments partake of the samespirit-which elaracterisea

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1858.

The Press prosecutions (a 3 they have been
termed) are concluded, and that in a very satis-
faetOry manner. The trials of Mr. EDWARD
TRUELOVE, bookseller in the Strand, and of Mr.
STANISLAS SCHERZOWSKI, of Rupert-street, Hay-
market, for the publication of what were charged
to be " false, scandalous, and seditious libels of,
touching, and concerning tho EMPEROR of the
French," had been specially fixed for yesterday,
in the Court of Queen's Beneb, to which they
bad been removed by writs of certiorari from the
re_ ntral Criminal Court. A special jury had
been impannelled, the highest amount of
legal talent employed on either side, and the
friends and supporters of a frte press anxiously
awaited the result, although confiding in the
impartiality of an English Judge, who had already
done much for the fourth estate, and of au inde-
pendent jury.

The matter, however, was brought to a sum-
mary conclusion, thanks to the straightforward
and enlightened views talwu by the Attorney-
General. He hail not directed the prosecutions ;
they htd been instituted by the direction of his
preck'cessor. According to custom, or rather
of6.cial etiquette, it was Lis duty to persevere and
kring to a conclusion the proceedings commenced
before his accession to office ; but he did so in the
kind and lenient manner for which he has been
preveminently distinguished. Tempering justice
with mercy, he was satisfied with a declaration

from the defendants that they never intended or
desired, directly or indirectly, to countenance or
encourage the crime of assassination, and were
ready to express their regrets, if such construction
could be put on any publications to which they
had been parties, and that the matters complained
of should be withdrawn. It is almost needless to
say that these terms were at once accepted by the
defendants, and verdicts of not guilty taken in
both cases.

It is needless now to speculate on what might
have been the results had the law officers of the
Crown tried to have obtained adverse verdicts
against the defendants. We believe that they
exercised a wise and just discretion in accepting
the compromises in cases which should never have
been submitted to the Court, and which would
not have been instituted by Lord DERBY'S Go-
vernment. Sir FITZROY KELLY proved himself
to be the true Liberal, so far as the liberty
of the press was concerned, and a sagacious
statesman in respect to our foreign relations. It
would have been impossible to have checked the
honest fervour of the eminent advocate for the
defendants. He would have fearlessly told un-
palatable truths, and elicited, even from the wit-
nesses for the prosecution, facts exceedingly dis-
pleasing to the real prosecutor, at whose dictation
these proceedings were instituted by a too subser-
vient Government. Lords PALMERSTON and
CLARENDON and Sir RICHARD BETHELL attacked
the defendants. Lords DERBY and MALMESBURY
and Sir FITZROY KELLY have honourably escaped
from the difficulty bequeathed to them by their
predecessors, and proved their respect for the
fourth estate in the most unequivocal manner.
The Palmerstonians are complaining because
the Government did not receive an ignominious
defeat, nct perceiving that the disgrace would
attach to their own protegges. They attack the
Lord Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the
distinguished and eminent counsel who conducted
the defence. It was his imperative duty to vin-
dicate and protect his client, and he did so in the
best manner possible. The Attorney-General
accepted the declarations of respectable persons
that they did not believe that they were commit-
ting any offence in publishing the pamphlets is
question, but that as they might be liable to mis-
construction they should be withdrawn ; and Lord
CAMPBELL stated—not in reference to the parti-
cular article, but as a general rule—that a publi-
cation having a tendency to incite to assassination
was a libel. It could only be a factious feeling
that could complain of the result, which was alike
honourable to the Court, the prosecutors, and the
defendants.

There is at length some hope of an improve-

went in the postal communications with the Aus-
tralian colonies. The new Secretary of State for
t'oe Colonial department, last night, admitted the
justice of the complaints that had been preferred,
and evinced a determination to render the
service far more efficient than it has recently
been. He declared " that the existing con-
tract with 'the European and Australian Royal
Mail Company• would be immediately dis-
solved, and that tenders for a new service
would be invited without delay, modifying
the terms in such particulars as experience might
have shown to be necessary, so as to place that
very important service on a satisfactory footing,
and that in the meantime a temporary arrange-
ment would be made with the Royal Steam elm-
pany, or some other Company, for conveying the
Mails between the termination of the present con-
tract and the commencement of a new one."

This is as it should be. A matter of deep interest
and vast importance, not only to the rising colonies
concerned, but also to the United Kingdom, will
be placed on the most satisfactory foundation.
The trade with Australia is now of such magni-
tude that every facility should be given for
speedy and safe communication. Without the
certainty of the early transmission of all advices
that trade could not be properly conducted. Our
merchants would be seriously damnified,
and the colonial producers more severely injured,
while the consumers would have, according to
custom, to sustain the greater part of the burden.

It is alike creditable to Lord STANLEY and to his
successor, Sir EDWARD BIILWER LYTTON, that
they have not resorted to red•tapist delays, or the
ordinary forms of the circumlocution office. A
flagrant grievance was exposed, and they at once
entered into it, with an earnest purpose to pro-
vide an adequate remedy. They have done so
The Company that disregarded the obligations by
which they were bound will be dispensed with.
The Gordian knot is cut, and respectable parties
will be fou❑d willing to discharge the temporary
duties until proper and permanent arrangements
can be concluded. In this respect, as on the fo-
reign policy, and indeed all other points, the
nation has real cause for rejoicing at the substitu-
tion of Lord DERBY and his colleagues for the
veteran Viscount and his red-tapist subordinates.

Heartily glad must every Londoner be to find
that the monstrous growing evil of the Thames
is at length forcing itself upon the attention of
Parliament. As it is—the river is an absolute abo-
mination. It welters to and fro according to the
fluctuations of the tide—a hideous open sewer of
enormous dimensions ebbing and flowing
perpetually through the densely-populated
streets of a city containing from 2,000,000 to
3,000,000 of inhabitants. It is loathsome to
three of the senses—smell, sight, and taste. It
is notoriously and undeniably pestilential. It
polutes not merely the bank of the stream, but
the whole surrounding atmosphere. It adds ap-
preciably and, during these hot summer months,
fearfully, to the aggregate amount of the morta-
lity. It holds continually in solution a revolting
mass of feculent matter—dying its current of a
deep mud-colour—and exhaling an appalling va-
riety of odours, odours as sickening as they are
undeniably pestiferous. In proportion as the
population increases the evil we speak of increases
with it. And by a corresponding ratio the
nauseating results are aggravated a thousandfold
as the mercury rises in the thread-like tube of the
thermometer. Nothing that we have here said—
nothing that anybody possibly can say—upon this
execrable abomination, is not already perfectly
well known—alas ! but too well known—to the
two millions and a half of Londoners. The hor-
rid facts are carried directly to every individual
within range of the river, far and wide, upon the
wings of the wind. The miserable truth we are
again directing attention to—as we intimated in so
many words in these columns several weeks since, be-
fore the hot weather set in—is literally a truth that
" stinks in the nostrils of 3,000,000 !" Since
we thus epitomised the whole argument in half-a-
dozen words—it has been doing so more de-
plorably, more unendurably than ever. Members
of the Legislature—both of the Lords and the
Commons—Lave seen the horrible reality and
smelt it, intensely, excruciatingly, for themselves.
We
are sincerely rejoiced that it has
been so.
We hope much from the remembrance
of the stench of
tion with every the Thames—and from a repeti-
rise of a few degrees Fahrenheit '
among the national representatives. We believe

that in this matter Parliament may be led by the
nose to initiate one grand, obvious, and whole-
some act of purification.

A Cabinet Council was held at 12 o'clock this
day, at the Earl of Derby's private residence, his
lordship being still prevented by indisposition from
attending at his official residence in Downing-
street. The Ministers present were :—The Right
Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor, the Mar-
quis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hardwioke, Mr.
Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Malmesbury, the
Right Hon. Sir E. Balwer-Lytton, General Peel,
the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Lord Stanley,
the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord John
Manners.

We have reason to believe that the Earl of Derby
has taken 03terley Park, near Brentford, for the
summer months ; and it is, with much pleasure,
we observe that the noble Earl thus intends to
depart from the unfortunate example of his imme-
diate predecasors, who, even atthe critical moment,
could not deny themselves the gratification of
seeking amusement in the most distant and fre-
quently inaccessible parts of the United Kingdom.

MADAME BASSANO AND HERR KUHE'S

COiVCERT.

These well-known artistes give their annual
grand morning concert to-morrow, at the Hanover-
square Rooms. Madame 'Viardot Garcia, Mr.
Sims Reeves, and the other chief musical celebri-
ties of the season will assist ; and Madame Bassano
and Herr Kuhe thensselves have already secured the
public favour by their respective performances as
vocalist and pianist. The name of M. Benedict
as one of the conductors secures the efficient direc-
tion of the concert, which, we have no doubt, will
maintain its place among the best and most
fashionably attended of the season.

MADEMOISELLE TITIESS.—The refusal on the part of
the direction of the Viennese Opera to allow the eaten

sion of this popular lady'soonge has been rescinded—not,
we have reason to believe, from any motive of liberality
towards the manager of the London theatre, where her
services have proved of such inestimable value, but be•
cause, at the eleventh hour, certain repairs which have
for some time been in progress at the "Karnthnerthor"
are found not sufficiently advanced to admit of the usual
pet formances b&ng resumed at the time expected. Thus
the patrons of Her Majesty's; Theatre may look forward
to a repetition of those operas in which Mademoiselle
Titiens has a'ready achieved so well-merited a success,
besides others in which she has not yet appeared before
a London audience—and among the rest, no doubt our
musical readers wilt hope, Beethoven's "Fidelio."
DEATH OF THE EARL OF GLENGALL.—We regret to
announce the death of the Earl of Glengall, who died
yesterday morning rather suddenly, at Cowes, Isle of
Wight. He was 64 years of age. In default of male

issue, we beli6ve the earldom becomes extinct. The

deceased earl was the author of the popular farce
of "The Irish Tutor," and other dramatic works of
respectable talent, and of late years has contributed
soveral political essays to the columns of the Oonserva.
Live rross, of more than average ability. The earl's
ancestors were a branch of the noble house of Ormond,
pringing from the third call. By his decease a vacancy
occurs among the Irish representative pours in Parlia-
ment.

APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. —A mar-
riage is arranged to take place between Miss Florence
Sheridan, daughter of Mr. Brinsley Sheridan, M.P., and
the Hon. A. F. Batnfylde, only eon of Lord and Lady
Poitinaore.
His Majesty the King of the Belgians visited the
Duchess of K,-nt, yesterday, at Clarence House, St.
James's.
On Tuesday, the 6th of July, Mr. Akroyd is to move
for leave to bring is a bill to amend the law relating to
accidents; and to provide for the more general education
of young p9rsons above thirteen and under sixteen years
of age employed in factories.

Ic is tolerably certain that the Queen of Spain will
come to visit the Empresi in the month of August. The
Villa Eugenie has room for her Majesty, or for any
other ro3al guest.
The shipment of silver to Bombay has received a
check from the turn in the exchange announced by the
last mail. The steamer of the 26th, as far as is known at
present, will not take out more than 50,000/.
Rumour says that Mr. Dallas, the representative of

the United States in this country, has tsxpressed his

sati3faction with the arrangements of our Government
respecting the cruiser question, and it may be expected
that in a short time we shall bear the news that this
further Fe.roign-office difficulty has been satisfactordy
settled by the present occupants of Downing-street.
DUBLIN, Tuesday.—The trial of Colonel Browne was
resumed this morning. The case for the Crown was
closed at noon. Mr. O'llagan opened the case for the
defence ; be spoke for nearly four hours, and at the con-
clu-rion of his speech the Court adjourned.
We mentioned lately that a Roman Catholic clergy-
man was drowned at Calais while bathing. An accident

of a similar kind has just occurred at Nismes, where a

Protestant preacher, k. Garden, died soon after having
bleu bathing in the Canal de la Fontaine. He was ear.
ried to his house in a senseless state, and died two hours
after.

THE CAGLIARI.—The steamer Lombardo, which
arrived at Genoa on the 17th brought the news that the
Cagliari had left Naples on Monday, and that the Eng-
lish was to have Salerno on the 15;h, to take
charge of the crew, and see it embarked on the Cagliari.
The vessel was expected to make the port of Genoa on
the 18th.

Two SICILIES. —From and after the 10:h Ju'y next all
ships arriving in the Kingdom of the Two Sici.ies must
he furnished with a clean bill of health from the Neapo-
litan Consul at the port of loading, and if with Brazdian
produce or, board, certifying that it has been duly aired
and shipped in free pratique. In the absence of such cer-
tificate ve,se's will be subjected to quarautine.—.9as.ette.

. .
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emi-
grant ship Escort, 765 tone, Captain D. Smith, which
sailed from Plymouth on the 27ili of November, in
charge of Sur,ecn-Superintendent C. Weymott, with 21
married coupfes, 113 t,ingle men, 98 Lingle women, 16
boys between the ages of 1 and 12, 16.giris between the
,Aanie ages, one male it fart, and three females, making
a total of 289 souls, equal to 269 statute adults, arrived
at Sydney, New South Wales, on the 11th of March.

Fiv© deaths (infants) and four births occurred during
the voyage.

RUSSIAN MERCANTILE STEAM FLEET.—LIVERPOOL,
June 21.—The "Ruseian Steam Trading and Naviga-
tion Company" are rapidly increasing their Black Sea
and Mediterranean fl-et, which now numbers 30 or 40
full-powered screw steamers cf large capacity. The last
addition to this fl et has just been finished building on
the Mersey, having been constructed by Mr. John Laird
at his now works at Birkenhead. She is named the
Emperor Alexander, and is the second screw steamship
ef 1,100 tons and 350 horse-power built for that com-
pany by Mr. Laird. On Saturday the Emperor Alex-
ander made a teal trip in the Cnannel, having on board
a full load consisting of GOO tons of dead weight, with
watertanks full and stores. She attained an average
speed of 131 knots, or about 15 mi es an hour, which,
being fully loaded is considered highly satidactory.
PRIVATE ARMED VESSELS IN THE UNITED STATES.
—The iatimation from Washington to the effect that
'Arr. Sickles intended to introduce a bill into Congrces to
authorise the arming of private vessels, that they might
repel any attempt on the part of a British man-of-war
to overhaul them, has naturally caused some curiosity
among our shipping men to know what the protisions
of Vie bill will be. Merchantmen have the right already,
which they have always eujoyo, of carrying what-
ever arms may be deemed necessaiy to protect them
from the attaoks of ocean freebooters, and no act of
Congress is necessary to cecure such a privilege to
them; but there are very few ships that ever avail
themselves of the privilege, or that carry anything wore
than a small gun, to be used for firing a signal of
d:stresa. It can hardly be the intention of Mr. Sickles
o propose that the Government shall furnish guns
and ammunition to our merchantmen, to be used
against . v B'ish cruisers, for it would prove a most costly
experiment, and be utterly useless for the purpose in-
tended. If any fighting is to be done, let it by all
means be done by men-of-war, who are properly pre-
pared for such terrible work. Our merchant vessels have
no conveniences whAever fur naval engagements, and in
an encounter with a regularly arer,d vessel would be in
a perfectly helpless condition. It is idle to think of
adopting any half- way measures ; we must either make
up our minds for war and prepare for it in earnest, or be
content to settle our misunderatauling with Great; Bri-

MADAUE LIND GOLDSCIDIIDT.-1113 distinguished
lady, with her bu +baud and two cEildren, a een aid

aL,014 f3lni!y, including domestics, have taken pH.
of a neat villa, called " Roehanepton Lodge,"
situa':el near to the south side of Barnes Common,
and about a mile from Putney. The house is in a retired
