THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, JULY 6, 8.30 P.M.
Great preparations are making under General
Wimpfen for the reception and em
intended embarcation of
20,000 men at Toulon for Italy. It is not yet de-
cided whether they are to fill up the gaps
caused by the battle of Solferino or whether they
are to form a sixth corps d'armee.
The Channel squadron which it has recently been
determined to form is to consist of 12 liners, 10 of
which are at Brest and Cherbourg. This is, I be-
lieve, independent of ther, Ocean squadron which is
fitting out at Brest. the St. Louis and Ville de
Paris have just returned to Toulon, and are under
orders to join the Channel squadron. It is stated,
with what foundation I do not pretend to say, that
before many weeks are passed the Brest and
Channel squadrons will be able to form a fleet of
ships of the line, besides the proper proportion of
heavy
frigates. The greatest activity is displayed
in Toulon Dockyard to get ready and launch the
two frigates Invincible and Gloire.
The magnificent naval and military hospital of
St. Mandrier, which faces the Toulon roadstead, is
filled with wounded men from Italy. Three hun-
dred victims of Magenta arrived the other day, and
more are expected, for the hospital accommodation
in Italy is exhausted. Several temporary struc-
tures have been built, and united under the same
direction as St. Mandrier. Six hundred Austrian
prisoners are to arrive here this evening from
Toulon. General Count Goyon is reported to have
arriva, her last night from Rome, and to have left
immediately for Paris.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. DR. EMERTON.—
Dr. Emerton, of llanwell College, Middlesex, has been
presented with a richly-chased silver vine• leaf epergne,
with three ornamental branches on a triangular base, on a
richly-chased 'silver vine-mounted plateau. This most
elegant piece of plate bears the following inscription,—
" Presented to the Rev. James Alexander Emerton, D.D.,
by the inhabitants of Christ Church, Ealing, as a mark of
esteem and gratitude for his kind and strenuous exertions
on behalf of the It ev. William Lambert, the late incumbent
of Christ Church, Ealing, for his zealous and gratuitous
co-operation, for upwards of three years, in the public ser-
vices of the church, and more especially for his unremitted
efforts to promote the peace and welfare of the district of
Christ Church during the period it was under his sole
charge.-6th July, 18,59."
At Lloyd's the announcement of the armistice
caused a diminution in the charges for war risks on Prus-
sian ships, but no alteration as regards English. There is,
however, little business doing of this nature,
