TESTH, ‘Tho steamship Washington, Capt. Hewitt, arrived here yesterday morning. This noble vessel left Southampton for New York, on the 10th inst.,at 3 P.M. but before she reached the Needles, it was found that the furnace bars were par- tially destroyed. They were, however, replaced with new ones, which in turn became affected; and it became evident that it would be unsafe to continue the voyage. She accordingly put back to Southampton, where she arrived at half past 3 P. M., on Sunday, the 11th, She left again on Thursday, the 16th, and arrived here after # passage of fourteen days and a few hours. ‘The passengers made the following report relative to her putting back :— Sreamsnir Wasuineton, July 12th, 1647. The committee of investigation, appointed at a meet- ing of the passengers on board the Wasblogton, July 1th, for the purpose of fogninios invo the causes which led to the return of that ship to port, after having ad- vanced more than 100 miles on her homeward voyage, dence brought before them, they can only ascribe the inability of the ship to pursue her voyage tothe bad quality af the coal employed, a species of anthracite, re- sembling somewhat the American in appearance, but which destroyed two of furnace bars within the short space of 24 hours, These bars were the saine that bad beewin use during the whole voyage trom New York, and had remained entirely untouched until the day of sailing from Southampton The committee have person ally investigated the machinery, and have particularly directed their attention to the boilers, which they flod wholly unaffected Monsieur Velleroie, a French engi- neer, bas,in company with the committee, and at their re- quest, parsonally visited the interior of the furnaces, and Duds thean quite untouched. excepting as regards the dvs- truetion of the bars. The committee, therefore, are prepared to say, that in their opinion the ebip will be pertectly in order for sem when the bars are replaced. — Captain Hewitt has stated (hat his pat deere tion is that the ship will be ready to resume hé® voyage on Thursday morning. The committee would also suy that every maitiey has been offered them by the captain und all connected with the voxsel, the investigation hav- ing been desired, rather than avoided, and they are ready to express, in the most pubhio manner, their un- cape ar oontidence in Captain Hewitt and in his ship.

NORTON, of Yale College, Chuirman of Committee paren 3 a of New York, Chairman of the Mceting of Passengers. M. K. KELLOGG, ‘of Cincinnati Secretary ‘We proceed to give a synopsis of hor The Cambria, from Boston, arrived at Liverpool on the 13th inst. It is stated that France is secretly concentrating forces on the frontiers of Spain, for some unexplained Intrignes are actively going on wt Madrid. ‘The Dublin and proyineial journals continue to ex- press tneir astonishinent at the declaration of Lord Rus- sell respecting the Lrish potato crop, and deny its cor- rectness. The young potatoes which have appeared in the market are of good flavor, mealy and sound. The French capital continues occupied in the trials arising out of the late ministerial disclosures; and the opinion, especiully amongst the enemies of M. Guirot, has gained ground that sufficient evidence will be ad- duced to criminate M, Teste, and his confederates. M. Pellapra, one of the accused, has absconded from Paris, and this throws additional suspicion over the case; the friends of M. Teste sre, however, confident of his honorable acquittal. General Bédeau, hitherto Governor of Constantine, in Algeria, is appointed Go- vernor-General ad interim of the colony. The last ac- counts now state that the government hope to postpone the necessity of a loan until next segaion. The quarterly revenue returns of Great Britain are highly satisfactory, considering the general derange- ment of trade during the last three months, and the greatly diminished employment in the main branchesof manufacturing industry. The decrased consumption of cotton wool, amounting to 10,000 bales weekly, has, however, been compensated, when viewed with regard to tho amount of labor employed in its manufacture, by the additional occupation afforded by the railways now in progress, Indeed, with the exception of « slight de- crease in the Customs of £4272 on the quarter, there is ‘a comparative increase on the total revenue for the year of no lessthan £1,004,026, All the permanent sources of revenue exhibit a favyorableincrease. Tho amount arising from reduced sugar duties,furnishes the most satisfactory proofs of the fiscal advantages of low duties, Indeed it is mainly from this source that the increase on the year is derived. The sums expended on railways, which amount to nearly £200,000 during the last six months, and the vast amounts of money which has been ad- vanced to the Irish people, a large portion of which has been expended on commodities, which being subject to customs or excise duties, return to the coffers of the state, fully account for the general favorable appear- anoe of the revenue, ‘The second reading of the Navigation Dill having ‘been consented to in the Houre of Commons without a division, the Navigation Laws may be considered vir- tually suspended, as we have already stated, until Mareh, 1848.

Although this has been long expeoted, it was thought, latterly, that the measure would be postponed till next session. The exigencies of the treasury, however, did not adinit of delay. (From the London News, July 16.) The Paris journals of Tuesday, the 13th inst. togeth- er with our usual letters, have been received. The most strange investigation in progress before the French court of peers proceeds, and each day is marked by the development of events more and more extraordi- pury. It is impossible to convey un adequate notion of the intense interest with which the le harte are re- gurded, or of theqainful curiosity which is manifested asthe accused are conducted to their places, Every eye on Monday looked for M. Pellapra, whose return had been rumored the preceding day, and whose pre- sence at the bar of the chamber was confidently expect- ed. The letters of Mad. Pellapra and their enclosures, the letter of her husband to her on his departure from Paris, together with several notes of M. Teste, were lis- tened to in profound silence. As the evidence gradual- ly brought the truth to light, and as the guilt seemed by overy fresh testimony to comie closor and closer to M. Teste, that person evinced the utmost coolness and the most unflinching self-possession, examining and cross- examining the witnesses jh all the dispassionate adroitness of & counsel acting a8 the feed advocate of 4 third party. At the rising of the court at 6 o'clock, M. Teste,against whom such a mass of unexpected evidence had been brought, appeared to be the least affected indi- vidual in that crowded hall The bewildering doubts in which the report of tho prooeedings and the air of confident innocenca of the accused left the public, soon destined to be dis pelled, and this curious drama was to receive an un- foreseen denouement. At half past eight o'clock in the evening of Monday, the report of fire-arms was heard to issue from the apartments in the Luxem bourg, occupied by the prisoners. ‘The persons in charge ard the guards instantly rushed to the rooms, and found that M. Testehad atterapted suicide with pistols, but without sucoess. It appears that he first placed a pistol in his moutl dd snapped it, but it missed fire.

On being summoned to attend the court, M. Teste declined acknowledging the | unanswerable nature of the proof aguinst hin, and in substance confessing that he accepted the wages of cor- ruption. The act of corruption by Pellapra, and the complicity of General Cubieresand M. Parmen not denied by their respective advocates, and they . ly appealed to the clemency of the court. At the time our corr spondent closed the court had not been declared. ‘The King avd Queen of the Belgians, with their son. the Duke of Brabant, are at Neuilly. The ree and Queen of the French, and Madame Adelaide, with the Duchess of Orivans and ber ehildcen, are at Dreux, at- tending the religious solemoities which mark the anni versary of the death of the Duke of Orleans, waich took place on July 13. ‘The weather continues to be highly favorable. ‘The late rains have been succveded by an unclouded firma- ment and high temperature. At six in the morning, on Monday, the thermometer in the shade stood at 70% deg., at noon {fc rose to 86 deg, and at two o'clock it at- tained 835, deg, an unusual temperature in these lati- tudes.

It had added much te his ploasure to see the first of the American line of steamships which had arrived in this country received in such excellent company. He thanked the chairman for the hospitable way in which the gentlemen connect~ ed with that line of vessels and himself had been receiv edto-day, During the time that he had been in Eng: laud,the courtesies and kindness he bad universally met with had tended to cement in his mind the attachment he had previously felt for the mother country. T! born au American, he felt he was part and parcel of the English people. Proud Engiand, he hoped, would have reason to be proud of her daughter America.
