The Right Rev. Dr. Longley, who was recently trans-
lated from Ripon to the see of Durham, commenced the
primpry visitation of his diocese on Saturday last at
Bishop's Auckland, where a large number of the clergy
assembled. To-day he will hold a visitation at Berwick-
upon-Tweed, to-morrow at Alowick, on Thursday at
Newcastle-on-Tyne, and on Friday he will conclude his
t our at Hexham.

We regret to announce the demise of Anna Maria,
Nlarchioness Dowager of Ely, who expired at Hampton
Court Palate on Sunday last. The deceased Marchioness
was the eldest daughter of the late Sir Henry Watkin
Dashwood, Baronet, of Kirtlington-park, o.on, and
married, in 1810, John, second Marquis of Ely, by
whom she had a numerous family. Her ladyship was
Maid of Honour to her Majesty Queen Charlotte, and
for some years Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty
Queen Adelaide.' She was born in 1785, and was con-
sequently in her 73d year.
Despatches have been received from M. de Bouzet,
Governs•: of New Cale lonia, in which he informs the
Government that be was busy with the necesqiry ar-
rangements for the reception of political prisoners at the
Isle of Plnes, _

The Emperor has provisionally suspended the execu-
tion of a decree that had been prepared establishing free
trade in butcher's meat in Paris. A report on the sub-
ject, addressed to his Majesty by the Prefect of Police,
is understood to be the cause of the suspension.
The Count and Countess of Walewski have left
Paris for Biarritz. Before his departure the Count
had several important diplomatic conferences. He will
return in time to accompany the Emperor to Stuttgard,
and attend the interview with the Emperor Alexander,
at which it is said that other crowned heads will be
present. The interview itself arises out of invitations
from the King of Wurteinbere. Although it has been
.aid that the Empress of Russia would go to Stuttgard,
this appears uncertain. It is stated that one of the
best French artists has been engaged by the Emperor
to go tho capital of Wurtem berg, and execute a picture
representing the meeting between the two Emperors.
ROME AND MIMCO.—The latest intelligence from
Rome is highly favourable to the arrangement of the
pending difficulty between Mexico and the Holy see.
The reports of the state of trade in the manufacturing
towns for the past week show an increase of business at
Manchester. At Birmingham and elsewhere there has
been but little alteration, the transactions in most cases
being on a full average scale, at steady price 4„
NAPLES AND THE NN ESTERN POWERS.—A reconcilia-

tion between Naples and the Western Powers is spoken
of in Paris as highly probable. The question, it is said,
will he discussed at the meeting of the Ewperors at
Stuttgard.

THE GREAT FALL OF NIA GAR t.—The following is an
American extract from an album kept at the Niagara
Hotel :

" Next to the bliss of seeing Sarah,
Is that of seeing Niagara." !
REDSCHID P ACHA.—Little doubt appears to be enter-
tained of the statement circulated yesterday, that Red-
schid Pacha is dismissed from his post of President of
the Tanzimat. It has not yet, however, been positively
confirmed.

Tim LATE ELECTIONS IN FR2 NCE. —lt has long been
considered as certain that General Cavaignac will not
take the oath of fidelity necessary to enable him to sit in
the Corps Legislatif. As regards MM. Goudchaux and
Carnot, their refusal is said to be less sure. The French
electors are applying great pressure to induce them to
accept the indispensable preliminary.
DELHI AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY.—A chrome-
lithographic engraving of Delhi and the surrounding
country has recently been published by Mr. Stanford,
the popular map and chart publisher,
.of Charing-cross,
and cannot fail to be most acceptable as a print, present.
ing to view at a glance the very core of the great mutiny
in Hindostan. It is drawn by A. Maclure from native
and ether original sketches, and gives every evidence of
its authenticity.
THE NEW COURT OF PROBATL —The act to establish
the New Court of Probate has is 'en printed. It extends
to 119 clauses and two schedules. The title is "An Act
to Amend the Law relating to Probate and Letters of
Administration in England." The new law is to come
into operation not sooner than the let January next, as
her Majesty by order in council shall direct. The testa-
mentary jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastf cal and other courts
is abolished.
THE ATTACK ON FORT DIAMANTE. A telegraphic
despatch from Genoa mentions that the sentence of the
divisional court-martial on the gendarme (a staff sol-
dier in charge of the buildings of the fort), who was
tried for negligence in the affair of the attack on the
Diamar is toa the 2fith of June, had been published,
and that it condemned the prisoner to eight years'
military imprisonment. A private of the Bth Regiment,
who had been sentry at the for:: on that occasion, was
also tried, but had been aeqUitted by the Court.
ROYAL FREEMASONS' GIRLS' SCHOOL.—We perceive
from a circular we have received that the excellent trea-
surer of this institution, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, has invited
the children (nearly 70 in number) to accompany him to
the Crystal Palace, on Thursday next, when the whole
expense will be defrayed by him. The children are to
dine at one o'clock, and such of the brethren and their
friends who take an interest in the proceedings will meet
them. It being the second day of the flower show, there
can be no doubt of a numerous attendance.
MORALS OF THE VIENNESE.—It appears from the sta-
tistics published by the Common Council bureau of Vienna
that the number of illegitimate births in that city has
almost equalled the number of the legitimate births dur-
ing the four years from 1853 to 1856. The following
are the figures on the subject :-1853. Legitimate births,
11,264; illegitimate births, 10,686. 1854. Legitimate
births, 11,252 ; illegitimate, 10 801. 1855. Legitimate
births, 10,650 ;illegitimate, 9,522. 1856. Legitimate,
10,870 ; illegitimate, 10,311.
FRENCH POSTAL STATISTICS ...Since the postal reform
in France, the number of letters distributed by the
post-office hrs enormously increased. In 1856 it
amounted to 251,997,290. The custom of prepaying has
also taken a great extension ; in 1849 post-office stamps
were sold to the amount of 4,446,766 fr. ; in 1857 to
that of 32,699,240 fr. The total receipts of the post-
office; which in 1840 were 42,034,8501 r., were in 1856
55,831,1301 r. The latter sum exceeded the expenses by
19,494,1301 r. The number of employes of the post-office,
including supernumeraries, is about 28,000, 15,713 of
them being letter-carriers.—Galisoncsni.
In the general business of the port of London during
the past week there has been considerable activity. The
number of ships reported inward was 260, showing an
increase of 50 over the previous week. These included
24 with cargoes of sugar, 43 with grain, &c., and 2 from
Shanghai with tea and silk, comprising 16,361 packages
of the former and 2,028 bales of the latter. The nrimbcr
of vessels clerred outward was 116, including 16 in bal-
last, showing a decrease of 29. The number of ships on
the berth loading for the Australian colonies is 47, being
13 less than at the last account. Of those now loading
5 are for Adelaide, 4 Geelong, 2 Hobart Town, 3 Latin-
ciston, 4 New Zealand, 14 Port Phillip, 2 Portland
Bay, 12 Sydney, and 1 Swan River.
SINGAPORE.—The supposed intention of the Governor
General of India to levy dues at the port of Singapore
caused the Directors of the East India Company to send
a despatch, dated the 25th of March, 1857, requesting
to be informed without d,-lay whether there was any
foundation for that report, intimating at the same time
that the Court would deprecate the imposition of any
burden on the commerce of the Straits settlement, ex-
cept under circumstances of argent necessity. The
reply of the Governor-General says that such a mea-
sure was never contsmplated as the imposition of
" Customs duties ;" at the same time he admits that the
Governor of the Straits, in February, 1856, recom-
mended the charge of a small port fee for services ren-
dered, and to pay the expenses of such services in the
shape of lights, beacons, jetties, &c,, which " is of
course entirely a different question from that of Custom
duties," and such a charge is spoken of as reasonable,
but after the receipt of the Court's orders the proposal,
it is said, will be treated as finally disposed of. Copies
of the despatch and the reply were issued yesterday,
having been printed by order of the House of Com-
mem.
THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 7.—The Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steamship Euxine Capt.
J. Weeks, sailed to-day for Vigo, Oporto, Cadiz, and
Gibraltar, with the Peninsular mails, a full cargo, and
specie value 34,2521. for Cadiz. She also takes out 54
first and 21 second-class passengers, among whom are
Mr. Justice Haliburton, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P.,
and Baroness Luxo, for, Lisbon ; Commodore Brooks
(Peninsular and Oriental Company), Captain Sao*,
and Dr. Dempsey, for Gibraltar. The Vanguard pach-
dlowheel steamship, Captain Ward, sailed to-day for
Marseilles, to run between that port and Malta with the
overland portion of the Australian mails. The steam-
ship Tamar, belonging to the Royal Mail Company,
which has just made such an unprecedented run home
from the Brazils, is appointed to leave on Saturday next
for Alexandria, with the outward mails for Australia,
New Zealand, &c. The Avon with the Brazilian mails,
and the Ariel, with the American mails, leave on Wed-
nesday, the 9th inst. The next homeward mail ships
due here are the Tagus, from the Peninsular ports, on
the 14th ; the Atrato, from the West Indies, on the
16th ; the North Star, from New York, on the 17th •
and the Colombo, from Alexandria, with the India and
China mail, on the 20th.
GENERAL HAVELOCK.—It may not be generally known
that this gallant officer, whose name has become one of
the most familiar to British ears among the most splen-
did instances of courage and devotion which are now
signalising our arms in the East, is a native of the banks
of the Wear, and a member cf a Sunderland family.
His father, William Havelock, E-q., was a well-known
shipowner and coalfitter, residing at Ford Hall, the
present residence of W. Hay, E-q., where the family,
since 80 distinguished vs soldiers, were born. Another
brother, Colonel William Fla,velook, well known in
all the Peninsular and Oriental campaigns as one of
the most dashing cavalry officers in the service, fell at
the head of the 14th Light Dragoons in one of the bloody
engagements of the Sutlsj. The present representative
and subject of our notice, after passing through a long
and distinguished apprenticeship to arms in the great
conflicts of north-west• rn India, especially in the
campaigns of Sir Chalice Napier, holds at present
the post of adjutant-general of the Bengal presidency,
4 rank likely to be changed, if Providence reserve
him for the completion of the great work which
he had so energetically began, for the highest the
service can afford. There are not wanting anecdotes
'among those who remember the residence and early life
of this hero of the courage and daring which fore-
shadowed the man in the boy, and wo may crrnestly
hope that it will yet he our pleasure to reeard in his
future career of retributive valour exploits and honours
which will vlike reflect distinction on the soldier and do
honour to the town which claims his birth.--Sunderland
Herald.
