HAVIARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Buckstone will take his annual benefit next
Wednesday. A new and original comedy by Mr. Tom
Taylor, entitled " Victims," the new farce of "The First
and Second Floor," and a new " Ballet," with dances
designed by Mr. Frampton, and scenery painted by Mr.
Calcott, are the wain constituents of an entertainment
which will be admitted to possess in no ordinary degree
the charm of novelty. Mr. Buckstone will address the
public and his friends—in his case the words are conver-
tible terms—and we doubt not the playgoers of London
will gladly seize the occasion to show in what high esti-
mation they hold one of the very best of English co-
medians, a man who combines with brilliant humour a
kind and genial disposition, and who, go where he will,
makes people happier by his presence.

TrIE BRUTES PAEISIENS.—M. Mitchell, we perceive,
announces that, owing to other engagements eotered
into by M. Offenbach,• the performance of the Bouffes
Parisians cannot be continued beyond six more repre-
sentations.

. The Earl Fitzwilliam and Lady Charlotte Wentworth

after a sOour of ten days at that establishment.
DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF BEDFORD.—We regret
exceedingly to announce the demise of this much re.
spected lady, who expired somewhat suddenly yesterday,
after only a brief illness. _

APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.--We be-
lieve we are correct in announcing that the preliminary
arrangements have been agreed upon for the following
alliances in high life :—The Marquis of Lothian, with
the Lady Constance Talbot. The young marquis has
just attained age. Viscount Grey de Wilton, with the
Lady Susan Pelham Clinton. Lord Ashley, eldest son
of the Earl of Shaftesbury, with the Lady Harriet Chi-
chester. Lord Robert Cecil, second son of the Marquis
of Salisbury, with Miss Alderson. The Hon. Mr.
North, eldest son of the Baroness North; with Miss
Cockerell, step-daughter of the Earl of EAinton.
CANADA.--LIVERPOOL, Friday.--The "screw steam-
ship North American, Captain William Granger, which
left Quebec on the 20th ult., arrived in the Mersey last
night. She has brought 150 passengers, including Sir
Edmund Head, GovErnor-General of Canada, and suits,.
No specie. The news, both political and commercial, is
unimportant. The crops in Lower Canada are looking
well.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL.—SOUTHAMPTON, July 3.—
The steamship Sultan, of the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, Captain John Knowles
Joy, with 89 passengers, about 3,0001. in specie, and the
usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieutenant Oxenham,
Admiralty agent, arrived this afternoon at four o'clock.
She brings no news worth notice.
THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE NIAGARA.—LIVER-
POOL, July 3.—To-morrow 3 dinner is to be given at de
Adelphi Hotel to the officers of the Niagara, by a number
of American merchants at this port; and to-morrow week
they will be entertained at a banquet given at the same
place by the American Chamber of Commerce. The
operation of placing the Atlantic cable on board is pro-
ceeding with despatch. While the officers of the Nia-
gara are receiving marks of courtesy the craw are falling
into disgrace owing to the repeated instances of " drunk
and disorkierlies " before the stipendiary magistrate, who
to-day, in discharging one of them, intimated that they
were a reproach to their country, and that he had never
met with a worse set of tipplers and brawlers in his life.

DEATH OF TUE EARL OF MORNINGTON.

It is not a litttle singular that within the brief
space of three days we should have to record the
deaths of the heads of the two families of Churchill
and Wellesley—those twin-houses which have re-
spectively given birth to a Marlborough and a
Wellington. Yet so it is ; the Earl of Morningtca
died on Thursday, the 2d inst., at his residence iu
London, after a short illness.

The Right Hon. William Pole-Tylney-Long-
Wellesley, fifth Earl of Morningten, only son of
William, fourth Earl, was born June 22, 1788,
and, consequently, at his death, had recently
entered upon the 70th year of his age. He
married first, in 1812, Catherine, eldest daughter
and eventually heir of the late Sir James Tylney
Long, Bart., of Draycot, Wilts, by his wife Catha-
rine, daughter of Who Windsor, fourth Earl of
Plymouth, and assumed on his marriage the name
and arms of that la'iy, who brought with her a
noble fortune as a dowry. The marriage, as our
readers are doubtless aware, was anything rather
than happy in its consequences to the lady, who died
in 1825, leaving her husband with two sons and a
daughter. In 1828 Mr. Wellesley Pole re-married,
his second wife being the daughter of Colonel
Paterson, and widow of Captain T. Bligh, of the
Coldstream Guards. This second union would
appear to have been no better assorted than the first,
to judge from the fact that since her husband's
accessien to the title Lady Mornington has re-
peatedly appeared in our columns as an applicant
for relief at the metropolitan police-courts in con-
sequence of having been left destitute by her hus-
band and chargeable to the parish. In the Par-ha-
ment of 1831-32, which passed the Reform Bill,
Mr. Long Wellesley was elected in the Liberal in-
terest for Essex, in which he formerly owned the
magnificent estate of Wanstead-house.

His father, who was Letter known tl the public,
first as the Right Hon. William Wllesley Pole,
and afterwards as Lord Mary boroug4 (by which
title he was raised to the English peerage in 1821,
on the coronation of George IV.) became Earl of
Mornington in September, 1842, on the decease if
his eldest brother, the Marquis Wellesley, K.G.,
and head of the representative of the Wellesley
family, and these honours he transmitted to his
son, the peer just deceased, at his death in 1845.

The deceased peer is succeeded in his titles by
his eldest son, Viscount Welle,ley, now Earl of
Mornington. His lordship was born in 1813, and
is unmarried.

We regret to state that the health of M. Bdranger,
the poet, is such As to cause serious uneasiness to his
friends.—Cialignani.
It is understood that the Bank Charter Committee
are not likely to conclude their labours during the pre-
sent session. Their final report will probably not appear
until the end of 1858, or beginning of 1859.
THE STATIONERS' COMPANY.—The present leases of
the Irish property belonging to thiscompany will shortly
expire. The estimated rental a few yews ago, in its
unimproved condition, war 10,0001. a year; and it is
reported that with only moderate prudence the rentals
might be more than doubled. The livings on the estate
are worth more than 1,2001. a year.
PONTEFRACT ELECTION.—The committee have declared
Mr. Wood duly elected.
CRINOLINE.--One house in Sheffield has taken an
order for 40 tons of rolled steel for crinoline, and a fo-
reign order has been given for one ton a week for some
time to come.
CRICKET.—M.C.C. AND GROUND V. HAYLEYBURY.—
This match was brought to a conclusion at Lord's
yesterday at 4 o'clock in favour of the M.C.C. by
33 runs.
NEUCHATEL—The Swiss Federal Council has just
notified to the canton of Neuchatel that the expenses
resulting from the occupation, the calling out of the
army, the trial of the compromised royalists, the loan,
and the mission to Paris, will be borne by the Federal
Government.
PORTSMOUTH, July 3.—New colours were presented
to the 88th Regiment of Foot to-day, on Southsea Com-
mon, by General Sir W. Codrington. All the troops in
garrison were present, including the 7th Fusiliers, the
19th Regiment, Royal Marines, Artillery, &c. The
scene was a very splendid one, Sir W. Codrington
made a very eloquent speech to the regiments, extolling
their career in the Crimea and on other fields of ser-
vice, and hoping that they would continue to reserve
their renown in the Indian duty they would have to go
through.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL—A meeting was held,
ye terd ay, in the ball room of the hospitil:for the pur-
pi fie of presenting a Willow Alai to J. W. Cunningham
Esq., the secretary of the college. The testimonial con-
sisted of Mr. Cunningham's portrait, an excellent like-
ness by Richmonds, and two handsome silver salvers.
THE LATE CALAMITY IN SHETLAND.—We have now
the details of the late calamity in Shetland. In the
island of North Roe, one boat was lost with six men on
board. The total loss is 18 men, leaving 34 fatherless
children, 12 aged parents, making 57 persons all de-
pendant on the sufferers for support. Exertions are
making in some measure to alleviate the distress occa
sioned, but subscriptions come in but slowly.
BACON'S CASE.—It is expected that this indictment
for murder will be tried at the ensuing Lincoln assizes,
which are fixed for the 18th of July ; if the grand jury
find a true bill against the male prisoner for the murder
of his mother, an application, under Palmer's act, will
then be made by the prisoner's counsel to have the case
removed for trial at the Central Criminal Court.—Lin-

coin Mercury.
SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—On Tuesday morning a
man who gave the name of John Williams, and who
stated that he had no place of residence, hung himself
with his pocket handkerchief, in one of the cells at the
Vine-street Police Station of the C Division. He was
apprehended the previous night, having stolen a coat
from a cab, and was to have appeared at Marlborough-
street Police Court yesterday on the charge. -
Among the numerous sufferers from the frightful acci-
dent at the Lewisham station on Sunday evening last
was Mr. Bolland, the son of the late Baron Bolland,
Rho sustained a severe concussion of the brain and
laceration of the forehead, together with other in.
juries. We are, however, happy to find that, though
still very ill, he is progressing favourably under the
care of Mr. Clayton.
MINES.—The mining share market has shown more
activity this week, and a good demand has existed for
several mines, though still at lower quotations than sellers
generally are disposed to take. Devon Consoli shares
have been more freely offered at lower quotations, and
leave off at 440 to 445, sellers. Basset shares at low

prices met with buyers, 235 to 245 ; South Frances, 290
to 295, and a dividend due in a few days of, proba-
bly, 81. per share ; North Basset have kept at 15 to 16,
with scarcely any business doing • West Basset, 28 to
29, also flat ; for Great South Tolgus there have been
several buyers, at I.q to 17 ; East Basset, also buyers,
at 38 to 40, and the mine improving for copper in the
60 east; Grenville, 1 to 1g; Uny shares have been
picked up quietly during this week, at 21 to 31, the
daily expectation of cutting the lode at the 40 being the
chief inducement to purchase ; Bell and Lanarth also
inquired after, at 2i to 3i.—Mining Journal of this day.

in-Ordinary to her Majesty has become vacant by the

approach of the train they had just time to unhook the
horse, and get clear of the line, when it was run into by
the train. The collision was severe, but the truck for-
tunately did not leave the rails, and was pushed on in
front of the engine to Hereford.
HOW ALE SCRENGTEENED MM.—WO believe we
have got hold of an anginal an ,cdote that was never
printed before. A student of 4no of our state colleges
had a barrel of ale deposited in his room, contrary, of
course, to rule and usage. He received a summons
to appear before the president, who said, " Sir, I aui
informed that- you have a barrel of ale in your pos-
session." "Yes, sir." " Well, what explanation can
you make 1" " Why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advises me to try a little each day as a tonic, and
not wishing to stop at the various placer where the
beverage is retailed, I concluded to have a barrel
taken to my room." " Indeed. And have you de-
rived any benefit from the use of it ? " " Ati, yes,
sir. When the barrel was first taken to my room,
two days since, I could scarcely lift it. Now I can
carry it with the greatest ease." We believe the witty
student was discharged without special reprimand.—
Anierkan Paper.

LATEST NEW.

THE ARRESTS AT GENOA.
A telegraphic despatch was received last night
in Paris, from Marseilles, to the following effect :
The packet from Genoa brings the news that the
plot discovered on the 29th was a Mazzinian one.
About 200 persons have been arrested. Several
thouEands of muskets and stilettos and a consider-
able quantity of ammunition have been seized.
Tlie troops of the garrison and the navy are dis-
posed to act vigorously.

The Piedmontese Gazette received this morning,
says : _

" For several days past the authorities at Genoa
had received information that a few individuals
proposed disturbing the public peace. Having
learnt yesterday (29th ult.) that an attempt of the
kind would be made during the night, the authori-
ties caused several houses to be searched, a mea-
sure which led to the capture of some arms and the
arrest of about 40 persons. The plan of the latter
was to surprise the forts of the Sprone and Dia-
mante ; the telegraphic wires near Ronco had been
cut. The city of Genoa is tranquil, and the au-
thorities have taken every measure to prevent
disturbance, in which they have hitherto been
successful."

On the same subject the Opiniane, of Turin,
says :—" A handful of obscure men wanted last
night to surprise two forts at Genoa. It is said
they were armed with pistols and carbines, and
that they have been arrested. Twelve of them were
to attack one of the forts ; the attacking party of
the other was somewhat stronger. Not a shot hag
been fired, and no one is wounded. This morning
Genoa was lost in wonder at this nocturnal at-
tempt. Everything is quiet, and there has been no
necessity for extraordinary measures."

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Moniteur publishes decrees nominating
Count de Moray to Le president of the Legislative
Body ; MM. Schneider and Reveil, vice-presidents;
and General Baron Vast-Vimeux and M. Hebert,
questors.

The Janapese government has sent a circular to
all the European consuls in the Chinese seas, in-
forming them that it is disposed to conclude
with their sovereigns treaties of commerce similar
to those entered into with the United States, Eng-
land, and France. The circular was accompanied
by a translation into Dutch and French.
The new treaty of commerce concluded on the
14th ult. between Russia and France commences
by superseding the former treaty of 1846. The
raise en signeur of this n ew one commences simulta-
neously with the new Russian tariff coming into
force. The sur-taxes, or additional Customs, levied
on all goods that proceeded from any French Medi-
teranean port, as well as on all goods shipped under
the French flag in a foreign ship are done away
with. Natives of France are in future to be at
liberty to possess real property in Russia without
their being necessarily naturalised. By a special
article French trade marks are in future to enjoy a
legal protection in Russia ; and, finally, the prin-
ciple is laid down for a convention for the pro-
tection of international copyright in works of
literature and the fine arts.

The following private telegraph despatches have
been received :

" TRIESTE, JULY 2.
" According to accounts from Constantinople of the
20th of June, the Porte claims possession of the island
of Perim, and expresses a hope that this island will be
evacuated by the English. It is said that Mr. Murray
had demanded to enter Teheran accompanied by a regi•
went of Indian troops, but the Shah had refused."

" TURIN, JULY 2.
" The political prisoners escaped from the island of
Pouza were 300 in number.
" United with the insurgents on board the Cagliari,
they attacked the Neapolitan gendarmerie in the pro-
vince of Salerno, but they were dispersed, and many
were arrested ; the rest fled."

" MARID, 2.
" The law on the press will be preseDnted to-mJULYorrow.
" The Senate has voted the law on constitutional re-
form.

" A rising at La Carolina, in the Sierra Morena, haa
been suppressed."

BOURSE, JULY 3, Two o'CLocK.—The market
has been flat, with a limited amount of business.
The principal affairs dealt in have been the New
Shares of the Northern and Lyons Companies. The
Three per Cents., done at 67fr. 75c., receded to
67fr. 86c. ; Mobilier varied from 1,105 to 1,090 fr. ;
Orleans, 1,460 to 1,455 fr. ; Lyons, 1,435 to
1,445 fr. ; New Shares, 880 to 895 fr. ; Northern,
930 to 940 fr. ; New Shares, 685 to 690 fr.
Southern, 720 to 722 fr. 50c. ; Austrian Shares
were in great demand at 650 and 655 fr.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
A letter from Bucharest of the 28th ult., in the
National Gazette of Berlin, says :
" The commission have at length come to a deci-
sion on the interpretation, or rather the modifi-
cation, of the firman for convoking the divans ad
hoc. This document is not yet published, but I
am able to give some details of its contents. The
most important changes are those relative to the
mortgage charges and the great boyards. The
firman requires that the propel y of the electors and
candidates shall not be subjected to mortgages
beyond a certain value. As this clause would ex-
clude the majority of the landed proprietors from
the exercise of electoral rights, it has just been
decided that the owners of property under mort-
gage shall be eligible, provided the unmortgaged
part is equal in amount to the sum required as
qualification."

The Algiers journals of the 30th ult. publish a
despatch from the Governor-General announcing
that General Yusuf's division attacked and carried
two days before the village of Taouria, the last ram-
part of the Beni-Yenni, who bad there collected
the contingents of all the insurgent tribes.

The magnificent gun se►►t by the city of Boston
as a present to Piedmont for the fortifications of
Alessandria, arrived at Genoa on the 30th ult.
