VISIT or THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA TO THE CITY.—
The Regiment of the Hanoural le Artillery Company
have been ordered to assemble at Head Quarters, on
Monday next, the 13th inst., and thence proceed to the
Mansion House, for the purpose of forming a guard of
honour on the occasion of the visit of his Royal Higb-
ness the Prince of Prussia to the Lord Mayor.
THE COURT.—Her Majesty and the Prince Consort,
accompanied by the Princess Royal, Prince Frederick
William of Prussia, and the younger members of the
Royal Favoly, leave Buckingham Palace on the 16th or
18th inst., for Osborne, to pass a few weeks at her Ma-
jesty's marine residence. It is not expected that the
Queen and Court will return to town until after the coo-
templated visit of the Emperor aed Empress of the
French.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary, leave Cambridge Cottage, at the
close of the month, for a tour in Switzerland ; after
which the Royal Duchess goes to Runopenbeiro, near
Frankfort, to pass the autumn.
His Excellency the Austrian Minister and the Coun-
tess d'Appnnyi are to be honoured by the company of
their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and
the Princess Mary at Chandos House, this evening.
According to advices from Constantinople yesterday it
appears that the subscriptions to the National Bat k
scheme, promoted by the native capitalists, are making
slow progress, and that there is great doubt of its suc-
crap.
The specie from America by the Fulton and Kanga-
roa is 40,000/ , besides 95,0001. for France. The stock
markets continuo their downward course, a further ave-
rage fall of about 3 per cent, having occurred within the
past few days. Erie were quoted 274 ; New York
Central, 80 ; heading, 71 ; Panama, 91i ; and Illinois
Central, 122.
THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—The dull sky
and cold wind, no doubt, had an effect in diminishing
the attendance at the palace on Thursday, seeing that
the half-crown days on Thursdays have almost stew lily
been becoming more popular with those who, not hold-
ing season tickets, still prefer the more select company
on those days. The return was as follows :—Seaeon
tickets, 2,724; cash, 3,102; total, 5,826. Amongst
the visitors was Mr. Baron Bramwell, who spent several
hours in the palacc. We have heard that the King of
the Belgian and suite will pay a visit to the Exhibition,
and we think it not improbable.—Manchester Guardiun.
THE CASE 01P STABBING IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.
—Mr. R. IL Robertson, the gentlemaq who an n ar.
rowly escaped assassination in the above prison on Wed•
nesday last, by an Italian named Salvi, still lie in a
most dangerous condition. On inquiry yesterday morn-
ing at the prison, it was stated by the medical gentle-
man that Mr. Robertson was in a very precarious state,
paralysis of one side having taken place in consequence
of an injury to the spinal cord, and that there are but
very faint hopes of his surviving.
BURSTING OF A STEAM BOILER.—FALMOUTH, July
10.—The French screw iron steamer, Countess Emilie,
Rosser master, of and from Dunkirk, for Gla.gow, burst
her boiler off this port last evening. Notice of the
casualty was taken from the shore, when the French
consul's gig was immediately dispatched, taking off ten
surgeons, to provide for prompt attention, in case of per-
sonal injury, when the bead engineer and a stoker wee
found dreadfully burnt. The vessel sustained- no
damage,
FATAL STriill BOILER EXPLOSION AT CHESTER.
Two MEN KILLED. —About two o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, a Steam boiler exploded at the ironworks of
Mesrs. Henry Wood and Co., near Chester. The boi'er,
which was a wry fine one, three years old. and furnished
with patent plugs of lead, safety-valves, &a., was blown
through a brick wall 200 yards into a field, where one
end of it was deeply buried in the cavth. The end of the
boiler, which .•lew out, was carried some 300 feet across
the works. Though some hundreds of men were at
work in the building, no one was hurt except the two
engineers, a father and son, who were killed. The son
was found under the debris of the boiler, unchanged in
appearance, hitt the father was shockingly m.t lated,
though some distance from the boiler when it burst.

mons in regard to the question of the Finsbury Park,

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—Yesterday a Court
was held for the purpose of taking into consideration a
report from the Markets Improvement Committee on the
references relative to the site of Smithfield market. The
report gave a narrative of the course of proceeding
adopted by the committee in their communications with
the Government upon the questions involved. The sub-
ject had been discussed at a former court at considerable
length. It related to the appropriation of the site of
Smithfield and the establishment of a meat market there-
on, and an adjournment took place after a very strong
show of the elements of opposition. Some delay took
place before the discus,icen was resumed, and after some
observations from the chairman of the committee the
Court came to the resolution, upon the motion of Deputy
Dakin, " That the report be received and the considera-
tion thereof adjourned, and that it be referred to the
committee to procure plans and estimates for the erection
of a meat market on the north side of Smithfield, with
an estimate of the probable reve• ue to be derived there-
from." The Government, it appeared, from the state-
ments made, had expressed their determination not to
agree to any plan which would have the effect of appro-
priating any part of the area in front of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital to the purposes of a meat market, and it was also
clear that the governors of the hospital would upon sanitary
grounds, resist any attempt to construct buildings there.
Some apprehension was expressed as to the probability of
further delay, tut assurarces were made that the im-
portant question should be forthwith entertained by the
committee, and that the public might expd it in the
shortest possi+ to time a satisfactory report. The court
then adjourned.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING.

The Roxburgh Castle, Captain Adams, 94 days
from Melbourne, was off the port yesterday, and
anded passengers here. Sbe has a cargo of copper
ore and wool, 90 passengers, and, it is said, half a
ton of gold dust.
The Roxburgh Castle has had a very boisterous
passage. She left Port Phillip April 7th, cleared
t he Head on the 10th, carried away topgallant-
' mast before sighting Cape Horn, which she
rounded May 10th ; lost bulwarks off the coast of
Brazil, crossed the line June Bth, and shortly after
emperienced contrary wind or calms for nine conse-
cutive days. Near the Lizard, at 11 a.m., on Fri-
day, spoke the Blackwall, from Plymouth, under
all canvass for Melbourne.

The Francis Henty, Capt. Caincrosq, from Mel-
bourne March the 24th, landed passengers at two
o'clock this morning. She has nine passengers and
24,000 ounces of gold. After expending 10 days
in attempting to make the passage home by Cape
Horn, the Francis Henty put about off Van Die-
men's Land, rounded the Cape of Good Hope in
6) days. She is 26 days from the line.
The Copenhagen, Capt. Godfrey, is outside the
harbour, coming in and bound to Melbourne.
The Queen and the Prince of Wales, from the
East Indies, for London, are in the Channel.

THE CONSPIRACY INs PARIS
The Times' correspondent (Second Edition) says :
" The conspiracy which has been discovered in
Paris, is described as the most serious of any that
we have as yet had any knowledge of, both from
the character of the individuals concerned, the ex-
tent of its ramifications, and the object proposed.
That it was connected with the late insurrection
in various parts of Italy there appears to be little
doubt, and the first act of the great tragedy, of
which a great part of Southern Europe was to be
the theatre, was destined for Paris. It appears
that documentary evidence of the mo,t telling
kind is in possession of the authorities. A
mass of correspondence exchanged between Paris,
London, and other parts has been seized, showing
that during the French elections the Emperor Na-
poleon was to be assassinated, and most of the
letters closed with the words, " Frappez—frappez
—frappez," as the speeches of Cato, in the Roman
Senate, with " Dclenda est Carthago." A chosen
band of 10 or 12 persons was to take the first favour-
able opportunity of stabbing the Emperor ; and,
in order to make sure of the effect, the poniards
were steeped in poison. The members of a Pro-
visional Government were already named, and were
prepared, when the deed was done, to seize the
reins of power, and to proclaim the Revolution, with
all its terrible consequences, all over Southern Eu-
rope. The names of those who were to take part in
this movement are mentioned. The French Govern-
ment became aware of the plot on the 10th June, a
day or two before the arrests took place. Informa-
tion was given to the Sardinian Government of what
was to take place at Genoa, As also of the presence
of Mazzini in that city. Why the Sardinian Govern-
men did not adopt timely measures to protect the
forts against a coup de main, or why Mazzini himself
was not arrested, remains without satisfactory ex-
planation. If it be true, as has been asserted, that
this personage passed through Paris on his way to
Italy, one may ask in turn why the authorities did
not arrest him on his journey 7 It is not probable
that scruples on the score of personal liberty pre-
vented them. Such, at all events, is the account
given here by those who pretend to an exact know-
ledge of the affair. The persons in custody on this
serious charge are about 20 in number ; they will
be tried at the assizes of the Department of the
Seine, and the authorities appear convinced that
the evidence in their possession is of such a nature
as to leave no doubt of the guilt of the accused.
It is further said that the plot had iamifications
in Spain, and that the late disturbances which
have lately occurred on various points of that
kingdom are part and parcel of it. I cannot say
how far this is true ; risings are of too frequent
occurrence in the Peninsula irrespectively of the
state of affairs in other parts of Europe to render it
necessary to connect them with the present machi-
nations. The highlands of Catalonia, the moun-
tains of Toledo, or the passes of the Sierra Morena
are not rarely d;sturbed when tranquillity reigns
elsewhere. A part of Mazzini's corre-pondence, in
cypher, has been found at Leghorn, with a list of
subscribers to his loan. The list, which has been
very recently drawn up, contains, it is said, the
names of persons belonging to various classes of
society.
