The bells of the @hspel Royal, of St. George, and St. John's Church- ge, sent forth merry peals throughout the day. A poyal salute was fired from the corporation ordaance fw the Bachelor-acre, and royel salutes were also @red from Fort Belvedere, and the Adelaide triggte, eu the Lake of Virginia Water, This day her Majes jesty and Prince Albert, with the King and Queen of Hasever, aud the rest of her royal and aristocratic wisiters, attended by a numerous suite, left Wiadsor By the South Western Railway, at Stowe, and pro- eecded from thence to the Camp at Cobham, with the intention of enjoying a “ picnician” game at pobdiers. Pee Friedland, of 120 guns, has left Toulon to join Qe French squadron ia the Dardanellez. The Fried- pnd will take the place of the Montebello, whicu will getarn to Toulon. A letter trom Smyroa of the 7th fost. announces that two gTurkish vessels, one loaded with slays, aud the other with grain, have been cap- pred by the Russiaus in the Black Sea. The same | letter states that the war in Caucasus bad again be hen out with redoubled fury, and that the Russians had suffered a defeat at the hands of Schamyl. Prince Menschikoff is at Sebastopol, waiting for the Emperor's orders, at least so we learu up to the 3d wet. The Spanish goverument has seat General Prince ep a Mission to Coustantinople. There is a rumor to tie effect that the Russian Ambasador quitted Paris last night. ‘The Glasgow cotton market dunug the past week as been intluenced by the unsettled state of the Eastern question. ‘Lhe Paris news of last night, Monday, is to the ef- Ret that the Turkish Ambassador has receiver by Welegraph. via Semlin, a despatch trom Constautiuo- ple, informing him tat the Porte bad rejected the uit matnm ot Russia. taking its stand ou the “ me- worandum” forwarded to the great powers. A de- patch irom Vienna states that letiers ‘rom Jassay way that the Russian troops liad not yet crossed the frontier, as the avswer of the Porte to the last demaud of Russia was not kaown. Despatches trom Berlia state that the rumored acveptauce of Austrian media- eon in the Hastern question was quite unfounded, aud moore thao remote. The Governor of Pesti is buyiug up all the horses in the vicinage. The Paris funds, wid the submurine telegraph of to-day, are very sickly, and a further decline is prognosticated. Acother week, instead of enligttening seems only to have darkeued the mystery of the Czar's couduct and intentions. Allis as much as ever eushrouded fm a mist of doubt or conjecture; nor have we auy- thing more than rumors to communicate—ruimors wineh the future may prove to be fulse. With re: spect to Austria, it now stems doubtful whether there tes been apy interierence at all on her part; aud the fast reports State that the ambussuaors irou the Czar, @t the courts of Vienna aud Gerla, have been very Breeut to be informed respecting Lue imteatious of the Emperor ot Austria aud Kiug of Prussia towards fbeir imperial master of the North, iu case of war.

A good dea! of gossip has been going on in Paris during the last few days, respecting a supposed at tempt of the fair Eugenie to pay a clandestine visit to Ler dear native laud acroes the Pyrenees.

A monster of @ man was recently executed at Na- les, who was proved to have been guilty of murder- ing twenty-nine persons, including his father aad me ther, auld several others of hisown fumily. For the information of our readers, who may be desirous to know in what pesition the case of the rival opera houses now stands, it may be stated that, ov the 3d June, « demurrer was argued to the decla- ration in the action, which contained three counts, ‘Lhe plaintiff, Mr. Lamiey, brought his action to re- cover dumeges trom the devendant, Mr. Pye, for in: ducing Johanna Wagner to break ber contract iuto which sbe bad entered with the plaintiff, to sin; his theatre. The first count alleved that Malle.

The fall of Nankin took place on the 21st of Merch. The city remained only a short time in the Lands of the insurgeits. The imperial troops, having received strong reinforcements, ven- tured a general engagement under the direction of distant thirt, kin; but as the insurgents or revolutionary party | have made up their minds to hold the last mentioned | while the said agreement was in full force and effect, | Maliciously enticed avd persuaded the said Jobanna Wagner to make detault in singing, and break her engagement, to the plaintiff's damage.

The Lendcn News of the 23d ult. publishes the ¥ | | Sultan with bis christian subjects require no such in- terporitign; and the Porte has given the strongest proof ef its disposition in this respect by promul- ting the great act of toleration to which we al- luded the other day. The case of Russia with refe- rence to the Holy Places was one for special redre-s, and that she acknowledges herself to have obtained. The demand of Russia in favor of the Bastern Church has been met ina still more liberal spirit, not by a separate convention or agreement with thecourt ot St, Petersburg, but by a hattt-scheriff addressed to the Patriarchs of all the Christian churches. The messenger, who is probably by this time far on his way back to St. Petersburg with the refusal of the Porte to accede to the peculiar terms dictated and presented to it might also be the bearer of this act of the Turkish government, which is far more expres- sive of its. good will to the Christian churches than any assurance given to Russia or to any foreign State. The case, therefore, against Russia, on the face of this note, stands thus :— Ifher causes of com- plaint are limited, as she still asserts, to the affuir of the Holy Places, on that it satisfaction and re- dress are not refused; if she aspives to include in her wegetiation increased securities for tne liberties of the Christian churches, that, too, is done in another and a more scmapase form. What more remains? The ingenuity of M. de Nesselrode has entirely fuiled to show it, or the ingenuity of the rest of Eu- rope to discover it. For we presume he is not pre- pared to contend that, when one State thinks itself entitled to demand redress from another, it has a right to dictate the identical expressions in which the apology isto be made. There is in all this a great want of truth aud consistency. If the Russian government bad preferred its claims to that amount of redress to which it might iuirly be entitled without bullying, without intimidation, and without any at- tempt to impose on pine) and the world, no doubt it would have obtained all that the case required. Kut it reserted to means altogether dispropor- tioned to the extent of its avowed pretensions, and pparently calculated to defeat their succes It isim nonaiile to suppose that the astute cabiuet of Sr, Petersburg would have so overplayed its part without some ulterior motive; and when it labors to demonstrate to Europe that, after all, the case lies in anutebell, and tiat its claims are reduced to the most unpretending scale, Europe will naturally ask why such claims are supported ky so great an array of diplomacy and of armies, and how it comes to pass that the Emperor Nicholas is ready to secrifice all the most important political relations of the continent to a matter which he himself descri- bes as insignificant and superficous. It is impossible to find a justification of conduct so momentous in the occurrences which have taken place, and the lau- guage of peace and moderation is a mockery when it serves only to conceal vast and uncalled-for pre- paration for war. Meanwhile, the British fleet, having proceeded on its course, reached Besika Bay on the 13th inst., the fifth day from its leaving Multa; and, as the French fleet wus still at Salamis on the 11th, it is probable that Admiral Dundas was the first to arrive in the Turkish waters, where he will, without doubt, be speedily joined by Admiral Lasusse. The military preparations of the Turks continue with great alac- rity, and, from the accounts we receive from several paita of the empire, these armaments excite an enthusiasm not confined to the Mussulman subjects of the Porte. The Christian populations seem everywhere to understand that the question really at stake is not merely the existence of the Turk- ish government or their own religious pri- vileges, as their future national independence, and there never was a time when the infiuen of this country preJominated more extensively in the East than at the present moment. We owe that influence to a policy the most opposite to that which Russia has pursued. Our commercial enterprise has pevetrated into those semi-barbarous countries, and is rousing to life their dormant resources. Christian schcols, Protestant missions, and freedom of trade are identified with our language and our name, and have been rapidly propagated throughout the em- pire. The Porte itself has adopted principles of ad- ministration which, though they cannot preserve what is essentially perishable and effete in the Turk- ish rele, are gradually preparin, its subjects for the progress of civilization, and perhaps for new forms of overpment. Thus, while Russia is seeking to bind ‘urkey by the obligations of a treaty dictated by the interests of another power, we are satisfied to ree ber retain at least that liberty of change which is the last sign of vitality. Fata viam tmvenient— ‘we see no reason to doubt that, if peace be preserved, the changes which we have long foreseen may be accomphshed without violence, and that all the sential conditions of the independence of that Eastern Empire may be preserved or restored. But it is not imposible “that there Lopes and prospects are the very motives which have led, the Russian govern- ell at this t'me to employ the language of iutimi- dation, and the zeal which the Emperor Nicholas suddenly uffects to feel for the liberties ot the Chris- tin churches is so little in accordance with the tencr of bis policy, that we are led to regard it as the mark of bis hostility to changes which the age will yet bring forth, and which already lie beyond his-control.

Lhe Ameri- cau resident also held a meeting for the purpose of orgenizing a body to assist im the defence of the settlement, but the North China Herald says the pro- ject was treated with much apathy, and all that was cone was the appointment of a committee to devise measures for combined action in case of danger, and the choice of committee men fell on Mesers Cunuing- ham, Wetmore and Warden. The foreign consuls have again been pressed by the Chinese authorities to aid their efforte by war steamers. The Herald states that the Taoutae, in his letter to the consuls of the 5th April, admits that during the recent cap- tore of Nankim, the real and official papers of the viceroy were lost. The imperialists and the insur- gents have been unsperiug in posting their pro clamations. Sir George Boubam had returned from Ningpoo to Shanghuae, and was +till firm in his resolve to main- tain a strict neutrality. Zhe Americans, on the con- trary, had ventured to give direct aid to the execu- tive. The armed brig Science, manned by Ameri- gons and chartered by the imperialists, had proceeded up theviver to protect Nankin, but ere reaching her destination she grounded and became a total wreck. The Susquebanua steam frigate mude an ineffectual attempt to reach Nankin, but owing to the waut of water for such an immence vessel, (2,700 tons,) she was compelled to return to Shanghae. The whole United States squadron proceeds to the seat of war. The Latest View of the Russo-Turkish Question. [From the London Times, Jame 24.) The Russian government has declared, in its circa- Jer despatch to the several courts of Burope, that the diaught note to which Prince Menscbikoff reduced bis latest demands is the Gordan knot of the ques tion now pending with the Porte, and that the sole desire of the cabinet of St. Petersburg is to untie this knot in peace, without being compelled to burst itueunder. But who, we must ask, tied this knot at all’ Who put forward claims noturiously incon-ist- ent with the tint rights and duties of an independent ower? And who bow prevents those claims from ing withdrawn? As Rusvia has acted alone, and in perfect freedom, thronghout this transaction, it fe nota litle singular that she should attempt to throw on others the result of the policy she has chosen to pursue; for, whatever biame may attach to France for her shave in the earlier stage of this dispute, she bas expinted it by waiviug ali her former pretensions, avd allowing herself to be deprived of ali the exclusive privileges for which she had contend. ed. Itis due, however, to the Russian cabinet to ac- | cept their challenge, aud to examine the uote in . question with the attention it, de-erves. The ilrst of the four declarations required in the note corresponds to the first three erticles of the proposed Sened or convention; but it presents the substance of those ar- * ina modilied and abbreviated form. The other declarations, three in vomber, correspond. with arti cles 1V. and V. of the Sened, and article VI. ts omit- ted altogether, as it was only a confirmation of former treaties, These deciarstions (2,3 and 4,) all that relntes to the Holy Places, the confirmation and executien of the firmans, the reparation of the enpola of the church of the Holy Sepulchre, aad the permission to covstruct a Russian church and hospital in Jerusalem, or its environs, ander 1) special superintendence of the Russian Conaul- General in Syria. On these points we believe that the furkish government expressed its willingness to accede to the wishes of the Russian envoy, and there would still be no difficnity in terminating the whole quarrel ov that basis. But that ia not the game of Ressia. Unhappily she i than all the rest, on that first declaration to which rhe has reduced ler general pretensions, and we must also say that there are swine y tomburg, placed wear the houses of the | cut wbiob now follows :— The Supreme Being. the ovly Dispenser of celestial berefits, baving in bis sovereiguty deigned to place me | Geerge Boubam, a Brith volunteer corps wus | ou rhe imperial glorious, aod powerful throne of the Us licbste and baving confided to my tovereign and equi- , Gr & sacred trust, xO many provinoes and avd innumerable ciasees of subjects of diferent has been my care and selicitude. ax it y ae Caliph, and my high mission a watch unceasingly. consecrating all wy wy rubjects with @ cemple'e protection, and to secure to them the enjoymeot of the most perfect traaqatity in of their religion end theic »ptritual affairs without towne. orable results of this course of condcct have * and itis an object of my imperial anxiety that ary abuses ehica way have crept io, little by lictie, and wr perceived. through veghgence. may be thoroughly they may vever ayain be renewed ‘the spiritual and rpecial privileges granted hy my illustriour ancestors to tbe cergy of m» faithful Chrin- tian subjects of the Grevk rite and sl-o coofirmed aud ecrroli¢ated by me. the imm to ail other religious exia- 4 places of tbat kind: the rights aad imma 2 to the priest aud monks; in one word, al) the privil me nuture whieh are mentioned in the berate of investiture, #bich of old bave fixed the Mi the jatrinrche anc clergy—all ball after my ial determmmstion and solicitude, be for ever pre- bitie: atin manifest anew wy imperial de! tion on thie subject 10 Kuch maoner that no it may take phe while those she way aet contrary texts] bette objec » of my sovereiga displeasure, Pave fs-urd @ speci! imperial oréer. which has bee drought to wwe knuwledce of wil the functionaries coa- cerned, so that none eat excuse himeelf in care of neglect by piesding ieporavee of my will, And for the more fail decleration and notifestion thet the faithful aud eon. fant execution of tois order fe required by my « vereign will, the prevent firmau has beea published by my Sud: hae Porte Whee you the patriarchs above mentioned, shall have taken knowledye of these things, abstetn from all eon travention ef the resslation just exuressed conform your corduct at wil times to it and if at any time auy tnfras- tien of my re-olution shall take place, you “hail oriog it to the keowledge of my Sublime Porte.

The Vienna correspondent of the London Times, writi: g under date of 1yth ult., says :—‘The Presse states that if the Russian troops have not yet crossed the Pruth, the delay is owing to the insurmountable obetucles thrown in their way by the overflowing of the Lower Danube, and ail other rivers in tnose parts, The plains are transformed into lakes, and the months of the rivers are so encumbered with end that the commander of the flotilla has declared that the passage would be attended with the greatest dangers. Circassia and Russia, The London Morning Chronicle, writing upon the late defeat of the Russian ay by the Circassians, eays:—'The Pertafoglio Maltese, of the 11th, votes letters from ‘Irebizoud, annoumcing that tie war having ordered LieutenantGeweral Wrevsky to attack Schanyl in his capital of Argille, the Vir- cassiars kaw themselves ciorely invested on the 13th ef April, by forty thousand Russiaus, with thirty-six ficld pieces, Partial attacks were made by the latter on different points; but Schamyl, prudently avoiding a ynprise | nsista, more s0-Turkish question is allowed to transpire a weneral battle, mancuvred to get the Russians in | such @ position as to close up their retreat, and pre- | vent their aavance, and succeeded completely. He then attacked them on ali sides, aud ronted them with: great havoc, twentythre guus and an immense | quentity of provisions falling into his bands. ive | Dattelions of Poles and irregular troops went over to the Circusrians on that oceasion, and Schamy! sab- sequently ivsced # proclamation, declariny that Rus- finn deserters are hencetorward to receive his pro- tection. Prussia, The latest advices from Berlin are to the following effect :—'‘Nothing positive or clear ae regards the line of policy which Prussia will observe in the Kus the statement | made a day or two ago, thut in thé note addressed last Thursday to Lou and St. Pe Prussia cxpirsly selene Lom pledy- herself to either » I still believe to correct. At the same time I mentioned that this policy was un) ble to the ultra-Con- e party, on Sunday © and to-day, the Brews Zeitumz openly avows that its friends a opposed to these temporizing tactics, and feallg on the government to vindicate Prussia’s claim to be censidered one of the great powers of Europe, by declaring boldly on one side or the other, hinting that possibly, om snvther occasion, she may not even be covsulted as to her wishes if she refrains to make them known now. In a subsequent article, the same journal boldly avows its own predilections and conv'ctions to be on the side of Russia, not ouly becaure it is convinced that her demands are just and moderate, and that she is determined to enforce them, but also because it is only possible to effect an alliance with a really existing entity such as Russia, and impossible to have anything to do with such a noventity as an entente cordiale, of which the parties who are said to have formed it seem to kuow least about the existence. The Kreuz Zeiung does not in so many words exhibit the fatuity of supposing that Prusia’s de- claring herself on the side of Russia would have the effect immédiately of inducing France, England and Torkey to recede from their present a poeitions bnt allows it to be inferred, since, while \it advocates the step of the declaration, it endeavors in other articles to attribute the danger of war to the rties it most hates—the democrats and the ourgeose and boutiguiers in Evglaud. It would convince the public that the former are driving the Engiish government with overwhelming force to plunge into war, in the hepes of availing them- selves of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters; that they are Lacked by the honorable conservative who feel that Eng!and’s honor is now compromise inj te and cannot recede; and further supported by the | mercantile talent of the nation, which knows how to extract profit even out of war. The inference is that if war is sought by the parties to which the Kreuz Zelung is by principle opposed, the step it advo- caies must, in its opinion, tend to prevent war. From all quarters assurances are coufideutly ex- changed that a settlement of the difficulties of the Rurso- Turkish question is on the point of being at- tained in London, aud that through the interyeution of the Austrian Minister there. England. We find the subjoined remarks on the corn trade in a circular issued on the afternoon of 23d ult., by Mr. George Dornsbusch, of London. They contirm the view of the serious damage inflicted on business by the prevalent political suspense: — Our politicians continue in a state of ferment res- pe peace and war is eagerly discussed, but uot yet set- ted. Wellfounded hopes are still eutertained that he governnients of Europe, who ought to set an ximple of moderation and justice to their people, will, for their own security, avoid a serious conflict, which might sound the tocsiu of insurrection through Poland, Hungary, Italy, and other discontented countries. Mean- time, the uncertainty as to the future course of events keeps trade agitated and uncomfortable; intended operations are postponed, shipments sus- pended, orders countermanded, and the regular | course of business in many ways interrupted, to the gieat injury of commerce.

It is too early to judge of the potatoes in the ground; at present it is believed that they are doing well, no complaints being heard. Abroad the weather has been various; whilst France complains of being deluged with rains, the Bultic countries are deprived of the ne- | cersary moisture. In Holland and Belgiam the weather was all that the agriculturists could desire, and the fields full of promise. From Galatg it is re- | ported that the surrounding countries presented a | most luxuriant appearance. In the United States, | too, the crops are very favorably spoken of. In | France the heavy rains of Jast week are said to have | laid the wheat plant very extensively. Our farmers are mostly now busy with hay making, and have | brought little corn to market. The arrivals of grain | and flour from the north of Europe aud America have last week fallen off. On theother hand, the southerly | winds have brought up to Falmouth and Queens- town, from the I4th to 21st Jane, thirty-seven car- | goes—twenty-one wheat, ten maize, three barley, one rye. one beans, and one flour—part of the large fleet of corn Jaden vessels-on passage trom the Mediterra- pean. There is little corn on the way now irom Baltic ports and few shipments making. Arerica has lately considerably reduced the exportation of breadstutis. It is to be expected that in consequence of the present suspension of shipments in the Black Sea and Danube, caused by the war panic and the scarcity of ship room, three to five months hence, there will be a correspondingly falling off in the arrivals from those quarters. Our corn markets toward the latter end of the week, did not sustain , the excitement produced at the commencement ; the northern markets, where the supply continues in- adequate to the wants have sustained prices. ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOK BRITISH CLIPPERS. [From the Liverpool Mercury, June 26.) In May, 1852, Mr. Walthew, the well known emi- | gration ‘agent, despatched to Melbourne the Bute ship Australia, built at St. John, N.B., by Mr. O’Leugblin, for Messrs. Charles Moore & Ce. of this town. She returned to this port on Monday, after an unexampled quick ran; for, since ber departure from the Mersey, the Australia has visited South Aus- tralia, China, Trinidad and New Orleans; accom- plishing this lengthy voyage in the short space of thirteen months, during which she passed the cele- brated American clippers, Flying Cloud, White | Squall and Atalanta, ‘The following were the respective voyages of the two former ships and the Australia:—The Flying Cloud left Canton on the Ist of December, an rived at New York onthe &th of March—97 days. The White Squall Jeft Canton on the 13th of Decem- ber. and arrived at New York on the 26th of March— 102 days. The Australia left Amoy on the 15th of December, and arrived at Trinidad on the 4th of March—78 days. A correspondent of a New Orleans paper of the ‘7th of May suys :— ‘As the ship Australia is now in this port, and as tbe is known to be a remarkably fust sailer, 1] have been a little curious to ascertain the truth of this matter, and have examined thoroughly her log.
