It is said the Mandarins have letters at Canton, received over- | yend from Nankin, announcing the defeat of the im- | periali-te under the command of Heang Gung, on | tbe 1th April; there is also a rumor to the con- | trary ; the general belief is that they have either not | fought, or the imperialists have been defeated, as the | Manderins do not keep back their successful engage: | wrote from the people. Some alarm prevails among | the Chicamen at Canton, as to their safety in case of a | @isturbance, from the hordes of pirates that infest the | neighborhood.

Count Giulai left Vienna, June 30th, for St. Peters- burg. He was accompanied by General Steininger and three officers. It is reported that he goes on a specis] mission in connection with the quarrel be- tween Russia and Turkey. | It is said that the Prince of Servia has offered to place 45,000 men at the Sultan's disposal—15,009 for the defence of Belgrade, and 30 000 for the protection of the frontier of the principality. Strange to say, the Paris Bourse reports improved quotations. Whst will Nicholas now do? Such is the great question, aud has been for a long month past, in ore emai poyulo; and we verily believe, not one of all the sages of the day, from good old Aberdeen to Miles’s boy roui.d the corner, can answer it yet. On | Baturday, indeed, the Times published an express, imtimating that 12,000 Russians had crossed the Prath and are now at Jassy, that is, as Count Nes- eelrode delicately words it, the troops have crossed the frontiers of the empire, not for tue purpose of making war—ob, dear no, impossible for a sove- veign who is so repugnant to it; but in order to ob- | fain those material guarantees, until the moment — when, brought to more equitable sentiments, the | Ottoman government will give to Russia the moral | securities which she bas in vain demanded through | her representatives at Constantinople; all which, j turned into the vernacular, means that Emperor | Bruin will dispott himself among the Moldavians | and give them all the blessings of an army of occu- | pation, till such time as the Sultan shall change his mind, and grant the Muscovite’s claim to the pro- fectorate of the Greek churches in Turkey. The | Saltan, however, has repeatedly refused acquies- | cence, and we now wait for the next move on the beard, which, a5 Nicholas took the iast by his advance | en Javsy, now fairly belongs to Turkey. Not a per- gon out of Russia, above the grade of an idiot, be- Iieves in the Czar’s pacific intentions, all being | pretty well agreed that his conduct, in this instance, isthe most flagrant transgression of international laws and treaties ever attempted since the partition | of Poland. The Turks are, toa man, eager for the fray,and the Christians of Turkey are not a whit | Detter disposed towurds the Russian aggressor. The | Baltan, therefore, has but one course left to hia eonsistent with honor, and this, we feel assured he | ‘will speedily teke, to announce that he regards the eccupation of Moldavia o% tantamount to a declara- | tion of war, and to call on the anited fleets of Fraace and England to sail op to the Sea of Marmora for the immediate defence of his capt which, ere | many weeks are over, may probably be formally laid siege to, both by land aad sea. | Much bas been said of the insignificance of the Turkish army and the poverty of the Sultan's re- | sources; but there is good reazon to believe that the lat- | ter will not lack foreign aid; aud as respects the form- | er, the Turkish troops have been too lovg disctplined | by “uropean officers, and directed by Enropean engi- | neering skill, to indnee a belief of all these charges set aficat by the friends of Russia. The recent | movements of the money market in Paris announce the growing conviction that the Czar means mis- chiet; and the express sentiments of Louix Napoleon | fudicate no backwardness on the part of France. Nevertheless, the parvenue Emperor ia a slippery | fellow. and may be playing # deeper game than is | generally supposed; nay, sveu now he and the good @id Aberdeen may content themselves with merely showing their fie-t, and not acting. Nous verrons. | Bat if \t so turn out, they will cover themselves with | Ancelible disgrace, and show the rest of Europe thst after ail their binsterings and protestations of friend- snip for the Porte, aud determination to maintain the balance of the Coutinental powers, they are, ia reality, alraid of the Czar, and loath to embroil themrelves in a quarrel, even though it be necessary for the dignity of the Western powers and the pro- tection of free governments against tyrauny and brigandisem. On the other band, should France and England heartily unite and enter the Block Sea, a few days only would take them to Seva topol, in the Crime: ‘one general navel action would, in all obability, terminate the war, and compel Menseli- otf to ch back his troops to Bessarabia. The anseating of thirty two members of Parlia- ment for bribery, required, of course, some visitation from the ‘rop sword But on whom has the wes pon failen?—o1 ick Smith, Colonel Forester, Major Bercs!

Now, for ow parts, we think that Lord Campbell and the lawyers have | began at the end, and are of opinion that if even yet some halt dozen among the worst of these bri Dery unseated members were to be pilloried in the Hoare of Commons, in lerrorem to all other aspirants for places in that aasembly, such a punisihmont might afford a wholesome lesson, and exercise a I id fnfluence on the House itself. Sir J.M.F. Smith, Mr. Mare, Forbes Mackenzie, Colonel Forester, and Beresford, for inatance, would look qaite as pa Ly ever did Hudibras and his Squire, Ralpho, “That Bastile. built t’ imprivon hard, By strange enchsotment made to fertar ‘The leer pacts and free che grever.”” ‘The fact is, that with thirty two oasted bribers, ano tiea\en knows how many hundred cases of bri | becomes Corporal | denp, and wickedness, a proper sense of justice is not satiatied with the smail of two unhappy, obscure wretches, doomed to a few mouths’ imprisonment for the sins of their betters, Indeed, the dignity of Hag. land’s reprerentatives, as a solemn legislative body, must be of the poorest and meanest description if it can be sativfied with such victims as these. Poor, vulgar men, however poor and dark in ignorance, would not take bribes, unless they were offered by the very rich and very well bred. Let us bave, then, some balf dozen of the wealthy expe'led bribers, and make a signal example of them. That is the way, end the only way—pending the ballot—in which Parlioment can be purified. Perhaps there is no class of people in England who at times exhibit greater meanness or more love of self and pelf than the clergy; and the bigher we , and the richer we find them, the move notorious and shocking are the examples. We are not now going to impale the two canons of the world-known Cathedral of St. Paul's for their monstrous love o: this world’s wealth, and their eagerness to shovel into their own pockets every haudtul of pelf and patronage on which they can Jay their claws. No! we shall turn to the map ot Essex, and there, down in the marshes, not tar from Southend, we sball see the parish of Barling, which containsabout 1,250 acres, nearly 500 ef which belong to the dean and chapter of St. Paul’s, who are the patrons of the living and impro- pridtors of the rectorial titles, and who, forsooth, after paying a miserable stipeaod (or rather leaving it for the parish to pay,) of some £200 year and no house to a resident clergyman, bag £1,000 a year for themeelves. Now, mark the facts: there priest- ly drones not only abstain from giving @ sixpence townrds the churities of a parish from which they suck so much of its wealth, but would not even lay out a few paltry pounds to keep wind and water tight the chancel of the church, which, as rectors of the parish, they are bound by law to maintain; and at this present moment the cast window of this ill- fated temple of the Almighty is entirely obscured by a tarpaudin nailed on the outside, to prevent the wind and raiv from dashing throngh the broken window into the church! Verily, with these priestly lord- lings the love of money prevails over love for God or the honor of the Lord’s houre. The late prolonged debate on Lord Stanley's amendment to the Indian bill exhibits anything but eneral senée, in the House, of the imourtance of legisliting properly for India. Trae, Sir Charles Wood, the potentate of the Board of Control, has invoked a paternal regard for the future intererts of the hundred and fifty millions of our cousins ia Hin- dostan; but somehow it seems impossible to get up pila terest in their behalf. True, Mr. Macaulay paid an eloquent tribute to the dignity and vsefuliess of John’s Compauy’s In tian rulers and agents, in opposition to Lord Elleuborough’s defence of their igverance, in the House of Lurds; but he brought no moral strength ty the aid of his party, and made nothing like a search into the deep, intricate policy of the Indian government. True, Lord Stauley’s amendment for delay was clever- ly illustrated and most powerfully supported by Mr. Cubden, and throughout the debate Friend Bright of Manchester hung upon the skirts of the winistry, attacking their weak points—aud where were the strong ones?—with dogged perseverance and damaging effect. But, notwithstandiog all this, bow cold and listless and apparently uninteresting was the debate, on which may hang the future we or woe of Sir Charles Wood's hundred and fifty mil- lions! Jn fact, the members seemed to shun the sib- ject, as if it had been the Asiatic cholera, But, after all, itis very possible that in all this apparent ia- difference there may be much real modesty and laudable bashfulness. The honorable gentlemen— withs] rot used to the biushing mood—betray an honorable shametacedvess at approaching the ques- tion; because, forsooth, they have a strong suspicion, that either individually or collectively—not exvept- ing even Sir James Hogg himseif—tiey know very , little, if any thing, of the true condition of these hun- dred and fifty millions. It is quite another question, however, whether better knowledge would come with the delay proposed by the upstart scion of the houee of Daiby, who, with his six months in India, talks as if he knew it as well as London; and really we are of opinion that for all the chance of increased knowledge within any reasonable time, we might as well Jegislate now 23 a year or two hence—and in apy case, now or then, might as well and as wisely legislate for the inhabitants of the newly discovered planet Nepsune, ea for so many millious of British Bubjecta, trom whom we are estranged not merely by distance, but also, and still further, by feelings, sym- pathies and prejudices. Well, what is the reauit of this long, windy, and cold-hearted pslaver? Lord Btapley’s amendment bas been negatived by a majo- rity of 1/0; and we are immediately to take on us the awful responsibility of legielating for the hun- éred ard fifty millions of poor inuvcents, for whom Sir Charies Wood possesses co paterual a regard. God belp them! Be sure we shall not. A mouth’s actual campaigning in drenching wea- ther—weuther that rakes even a Prince Albert seek the aid of Mackintosh and overalls—has a'ready, we fancy, given some of our smart holiday officers a fickening dove of military life at Chobham. March- ing up hills and through ponds and quaymires is all very well for the common rank asd file men—capital exercise, admirable preparation, and so forth ; nor is it of the slightest importance to consider how much and how needlessly the auima! strength is taxed by carrying a kit, arms, &c, of some sixty five pounds weight. Oh, no—capital exercise, famous training, for ull but the officers—those Who have less to carry, less to march, le-s to endare, and who are soonest tired of their job and the most eager to back out of a bed bargain. One evil, however, the mighty men ot the War Office have conde cended to abolish, be- eanre it affects the officers, though not a word is said of the men. The ducks of trowsers were found not to suit the ducks of Almacks and May Fair in wet weather, because they flapped against the leg like a sea-bedabbled sail: so forthwith comes an edict from | the Horse Guards to ewe with the wearing of le: dnck trowsers by these dear ducks of officers. But why not eerve all the Chobham ducks with the same eauce—why not relieve rauk and file as well as geue- rals and staff officers? We do not think a wet duck nooks or private Tomkins a bit mere than General Evans or Colonel Thornton; and certainly it is far more inconvenient, because the former must be their owa washerwomen. The firet Chobham reform is the abolition of linea teowsers. Well, be it so; and let it extend to all—to the lowest in the camp as well as its commanders—to the tiniest drommer-boy, as well as Lord Viscount Hardinge. Yes ; aud let the next be, to improve the condition of the wen, to ligiten their labor and make them more effective in the field, by giving them lighter arms and a mueh lighter kit. The season commenced last evening at St. James’ theatre with Goethe's “Egmont,” including in the cast Herr Emil Devrient, Herr Dessvir, and Madame Btotte. “Paust’’ is announced for Weduesday next, ea Mile Fubr will make her first appearance in. En being ; e:sonated, as formerly, by Herr Devrient. The Queen and Prince Albert, according to present | arrangements, will leave town on Tuesday, the 12th | inst., forthe purpose of visiting the Dublin Indus- trial Exhibition. An extra petrmance took place on Friday night | at the Royal Italian Opera, for the purpove of intro- ducing Madame Tedesco to the Loudoa pubiic. Your virtuous Don was there and alone. Heigho! Madame Tedesco has gained a fir-t class renommé France, and Germany; likewise in your the United Btaies, wis, as you are di the sang coutemporaneourly with tl Lind. The opera for the occasion was “Le Prophete,” and Madame Tedesco enacted Fides; in- deed a desperate venture, after the celebrated prima donnas Mmes. Visrdot and Grisi had cansed rival metropolitan factions by their wondrous impersoua- tions of that part. Mme. Tedesco is a vocalist of un- jable ability and powers; like the delicious Albo- reat range of voice, and consequently sings the music of Fides withont resorting to the transpositions | to which it was in wany places subjected in order to meet the higher register of our favorite Grisi. Her style of winging ie very musicianlike and expres- sive, these recommendations being satisfactorily apparent in the “F'xlio Mio,” in the fimt act of which she sang with the utmost tenderness. The song in the prison and the duet with Jean, were more decided tests of bravura capability and ber in contestibie talent, Not to waste words, she may really be snid to have achieved a very marked and legitimate success; aod the applause which she met with was quite genvine-—aye, ax geniine as her | hearty receptions with you. Mario's Prophete has jong been rauked amongst the most eminent of that great tenors creations. On this ocearion, from some Unexpleined cause, he receded fromthat partia favor of Signor TamberLk, who, it is bat fair to edmit, did not disappoint the expectancy of his andienc>. The monster nugget of quld recently brought out by the Saroh Sands trom Ballarat, by Messrs. Evans, Lees, and Green, the icky miners who discovered it, has been for the jast few days placed a the mineralogical specimens of An-tralia, which Mr. Wild bas connected with lis interesting exhibition in Lei- cestersqnare. The noggetin question, the largest without doubt which has as yet heen disontombed, is sbaped like a tongue. It weizhs one huadred and thirty-four pounds eleven ounces, and is veined with quartz, which, it is concluded, however, does not ex- tend below the sarface—an inference derived from the relative grovity of quartz and gold—an estimate on thia princ gives @ valuation to the mass, ofa trifle under £10,000. There is also a dng up by these fortunate miners, exh hough it is less in substance, it is still of considerable value, containing aa it does a large quantity of gold, aifirmed to be mech beyond the standard purity.

Resumé of the Latest Continental News— Probable Termination of the Eastern Question—Commo- dore Stringham's Interview with the Sultan—The Newspoper Advertisement Duty—Juvenile Va- grancy in London—The Last French Plot—The | Great Encampment at Chobham—The Weather— Theatrical Chit Chat—Jullien Coming to Amer- tea, $:c., Ge. Great fears have lately been rife throughout the French provinces respecting the harvest; the recent improvement in the weather has tended somewhat to | ™ | his presence and power as a disgrace to their coun- allay them. While on the subject of weather I may as well teil you that we hada fearful storm of bail, thunder and lightning here last night, about half past eleven o'clock. The heat had been intense dur- | ing the day, and if anything it is now on an increase. | ‘The Asiatic contingents have arrived at Smyrna, | and we learn from Constantinople, 25th ultimo, that | the Turkish troops were obliged to be drawn up to protect the Austrian Consulate, and that Austrian sailors have been assaulted. It appears that after so many weeks of bragging | and blustering on the part of the Czar and his satel- lites, and so many rumors of war in all parts of Bu- rope, the whole is to be ingloriously concluded by negotiation. The first intimation of this alteration in the prospects of this question was the last mani- festo of Nesselrode, onthe 26th ult., in which he 5 -with what truth all historic antecedents will speek yolumes—that ‘Russia seeks not fur con- quests, and bas no need of them;” nay, continnes he, “we are even ready to stop the movement of our troops if the Porte will engage conscientiously to respect the privileges of the orthodox Greek Church”—that church, forstoth, which the Pope stig- matises as schismatic, in opposition to the original ! and true United Greek Church. We have nothing to do with these polemical distinctions; but if the Czar imagines that he will suceeed in hoodwinking Evrope to his real intentions, and defend the mon- strous outrage be has committed in invading the Principalities, (as he really did near Leora on the 2d inst.) all from religious zeal for the interests of the Greek Church in opposition to that of Rome, he ig mightily mistaken. We are not now to be in- formed that religion has been sought as a cloak for the worst of crimes—for the murder of myriads of | victim. by the Inquisition—fer the butcheries of Smithfield in the times of Mary—for the murder of the Duke of Guise at Blois~ for the ¢ruelties perpe- trated on the black St. Barthclomew’s Day,and for many other deeds of darkness; and if Nicholas quotes Scripture to suit his tyrannic purposes we know the devil has done it before him. But the Czar says he will stop his troops; true, not as yet perhaps, be- cause it is not the fitting moment; but he does not say that he will recross the Pruth; nor will he, so long asa chance remains for the acquisition of his favorite object, compelling the acquiescence of Ab- dul Meschid in his clsims of sort of ecclesiastical impertum in imperto, to which he has no more right than the King of Dahomey. It appeare, however, that since the publication of this manifesto, the Em- peror, somewhat taken aback by the determination | of France aud England to defend the independeuce | of the Ottwman empire, has sent a new envoy, one | M. Orzeroff, to Constantinople, for the purpose of | opening fresh negotiations with the Sultan in con- nection with the English and French ambassadors, | who, it is said, have recommended the Sultan not to | oppose force by force, nor to offer any opposition to | the Muscovites, so long as they keep ou the north | side of the Danube, but to wait for the | issve ot the Brpoees negotiations. Moreover, | M. Drouin de L’ Foreign Affairs, bas addressed a circular letter— | soppaned to be a rifacciamento of Louis Napoleon’s | bellicose letter, now no more heard of, to the diplo- | matic agents in Paris—denouncing in pretty plain | terms the unreatonabiene-s of the claims now ad- | vanced by Russia atter the Sultan’s cheerful com- phance with those first proposed. We hear, also, that Lord Palmersion bas spoken out his mind; as that of the British ministry in general, that Eng- land and France do consider the occupation of the | j Tincipalities as a casus belli, a provocative to war On the whole, the general opinion seems to be—and tLe late extraordinary 1ise of the French funds seems to confirm it— that there will be no war, but all dis- aes wil! be -eitled by negotiation, and that the Sultan will, under the advice of his Western allies, | agree to give Nicholas the act or engazement de- | manded by Count Nesselrode, on condition of Russia binding herelf by certain restrictions—restrictions | net alittle likely to compromise the Czar in the opinion of the Western Powers, and induce the aehere belief of the world that after all Lis bullying A oe compelled, in vulgar phrase, to ‘'swallow ie leek. We are especially gratified, also, with the news iu the Tvieste Gazette, that Commodore | Stringhem, of the U.S. frigate Cumberland, lately had the houor of an interview with the Sultan, aud of hed aig sgt how great isthe sympathy felt in ica for the proapstity and advancement of the Ottoman Empire. truth nothing more than we had expected frum a great and incependen® cowwtry; nor had we any between absolutism and the cause of political free- her elder sister on this side of the Atlantic. The excessive duty on advertisements in public newspapers has long been felt as a great greivance, | not only as # hindrance to trade avd commerce, but as an oj prescive tax, affecting more particularly the fea Tr, who use the press as the means for procuring jumble employment. When Mr. Chancellor Glad- stone did so much in other ways to alleviate the burdens of the country—and undoubtedly, he has done more than any one since Sir R Peel—it was | matter for general regret, both in and out of tne House, that he did not at once “ go the whole hog,” and altegetber remove this odius impost; instead of which be proposed eat reduce it to sixpence. To this, therefore, Mr. Wilmer Gibson, one of the most judicious and influential of our liberals, propoeed an amendment for its total repeal, which in effect was carried, leaving the bill « nonentity. The matter, theretore, remains for the preseat in abeyance, till Mr. Gladstone brings forward another meusure, which he pledged himself last night to do with #ll reasonable despatch. We trast there will be no thirking from the subject-—no finessing to get rid of this important question—for, in truth, this is not the time for half measures. The voice of the country is againet the duty, (which, after all, with the proposed alteration, would bring in little more than half-a-million,) and it is to be hoped that Mr. pnp ad will not peril his popularity by resisting its repeul. The fact that there are in London alone upwards of 4,000 juvenile vagrants, who make their living vy bexgivg and stealing, speaks volumes as to the ne cestity 0" judicious legislation on this subject; and we ave much gratified that the Earl of Shaftabary, who has alrerdy deve so much for sanitary reform, has turned his attention to the above subject, aud mn- treénced @ bill in the House of Lords which aims a heavy blow at the root of juvenile delinqueacy. All previous acts for ita repression had proved bungling and insifficient—aimiag, not atrefurm, but puvish ment by the whipping und impri-onment of the jave- nile offenders themselves; and the consejuence has been, that they have acted rather as incevtives than preventives of precocious crime. it requires little wirdom to comprehend the utter uselesene-s of send ing small, ignorant, and oftea deserted children to prison, putting them on a formal trial and then flog- king and discharging them—for the poor creatares have po other means of livelihood than pilfering, and as to such punishment having any moral effect, either on themselves or others of their class, the idea is per- fectly ridiculous. The children, in fact, are not to blanie in this matter, but their parents and those who employ them for gain; and as surely as they are sent out by either for the purpo-e of begging they are Hence, therefore, ns tve only way Fences, the law must not their helpless sent out to steal. of repressing these juyen air at the authors of t agents and victims. cisely this view of the s his speech that it ia inten parents sible for Meir children's maintenanve under the public. aud reverely punish those pareats whose offspring through neuleet or evil instruction have been apprehended for petty delinquencies.

On Tuesday last waa the opening of the Opera Comique, with Auber’s charming opera of “ Haidee,” which the Emperor had engaged to inaugurate by a state visit, to ve made more solemn by the presence of all hia court eate|lites and fawning followers ; and towards evening the g00d folks of Paris were somewhat astonished to ce evile d by this bill to make the luys, the French Minister of | an his is as it should be, but in | pereur!” With the most energetic voices several of the streets lined with armed police and troops of cuirassiers and chasseurs sping up and down, to the manifest terror of all loyal and peace- ably disposed : nbjects. What could ‘be the matter? no one could tell ; imperial state required a mili- ery dis} lay, but the array wastoo formidable t> ad- mit such a solution of the problem. What could the mutter be? All went off well at the opcra—the Emperor was delighted, all inside the house were in raptures of admiration at the new house, &c., and at its conclusion the Emperor and his consort drove back again to St. Cloud, escorted and guarded as be“ore by a host of mounted soldiers and police, in addition to the ordinary esccrt. At length, some one in he secret, but who could not keep it, let it out; and lo, beheld, a new egg of mischiet had been batched, a new plot, as horrible, no doubt, and as tree as that three or four weeks ago at the Cirque Gymnastique, when a plot was discovered for carry- ing off the Emperor to Cayenne. In fact, he was to bave been aseastinated either going or returning, entering or leaving ; and which of these the obliging gentry who earn @ few france for fictitious informa- tion will best be able to tell. This, however, we do know, that all intelligen’ and high-minded French- men heartily desire Fi-fo-tum’s removal, regarding try, and himeelf as little better than the scum and off-scouring of the earth, Rumors have been afloat of the breaking up of the Eisen sham camp, which has occupier much of the quid nuncs’ attention, and furnished such ample scope for Jenkins, our grandmothers, aud the picture-pape but we have every reason to be- lieve that they are incorrect, or at any rate prematare. | Lord Seaton, it appears, is deemed perfect, and has gone through his apprenticeship asa commander, and others, too, are, by the authorities at the Horse Guards, classed in the same category; in consequence of which they are to retire on the laurels they have won and leave the field for other would-be heroes, who, asthe weather has changed, will experience fewer hardships tian the heroes who have been call- ed to the olzum cum dignitate of rural retirement. ‘The camp, we have reason to bel’eve, will not break up before the middle of September. In this piping hot, dog-day weather, which, it seems, is as invch the order of the thing in Paris as London, it verily makes one perspire uagenteelly even to think of the theatres, which might now serve in good stend for the thermo and sudatoria of the ancient Romans. Nevertbelees, the theatres do gat andiences, end some of them good ones, too, regular bumpers, filling the managers’ pockets. Atthe Pria- cess’ the so-called tragedy and decidedly splendid spectacle of Sardanapalus completely crams the house every night; and though it has arrived at its twenty-cisth representation, the furore of visiters seems wholly unabated. At the Haymurket and the Adelphi--both of which, as usual, are doing well —there has been no atiempt at novelty; but at the Olympic, old Far- reu’s house, a very creditable, and. as the audiences testify, a very successful attempt has been made to travestie our immortal Shakspeare’s “‘ Merchant of Venice.” “ Another and another—now a third,” — “thick as leaves in Vallambrosa;” “ Hamlet,” “Macbeth,” ‘ Othello,” have alzeady been served up, with burlesque sauce ; and now we have another dish for angie Joving gourmands, Robson, the Macbeth of the last travestie, is the Shylock of the present—" a Jew who does not on this occasion con- duct himeelf as a Gentile man ;”" and certainly if he had lived for half a century in Houndsditch he could not more happily have sustained the honor of Jera- salem, Miss Fieldipg made an exceleut Portia, and Sbylock's “ one fair caughter”’ traveatied found @ mort piquant representative in Ellen Turner. The Lyceum has closed after # very e0-s0 kind of season, and Madame Vestrias’ benefit is to take place to-night. We trast and feel assured that it will be a bumper; for what play-goer has not a meed of ad- miration to bestow on this charming, lady-like, dégagée actress, and once beautiful contralto singer? Lucy Vestrie appeared for the first time on the Lon- don boards in 1512, as Cherubino, in the ‘¢ Nozze di Figaro,” and after three or four seasons at the Italian opera joined Elliston’s compaay at Drury Lane, where she completely threw London into ecstacies by her admirable representation of the Don, ia ‘ Gio- vanni in London.” In 1824, we believe, she became the lessee of the Olympic, and in that little sal/e firat introduced that finished style of the mise-en-scéne, whi-h has now taken the place of the rubbishy stage appointments formerly 0 common eyven'in the high- est London theatres." Her career at Covent Garden as a manager is well known; and if either there or at the Lyceum she has failed in laying up an abund- ance for the future, as Charles Kean is now doing, it bas been neither from want of taste or lack of en- terprise. Such @ veteran deserves encouragement, will not look for it in vain. Mr. Charles Kean, the lessee of the Princess’, and Mr. Dion Bourcicault, the celebrated dramatist, have settled their little legal differences by a compro- mice. Mr. Kean could ill spare the services of 50 able a coadjutor, and Mr. Bourcicault would have found it difficult to meet with an equally liberal manoger. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Matthews and Miss Robertson are cff on a starring tour for a month. Mr. Bourci- calt, so it is rumored, is about to give an illustrated lecture, entitled ‘a Vision of Prospero.” Mr. James Auderson is still successfully engaged at Liverpool. Mr. Sims Reeves is literally coining money. No concert programme appears without his name and that of his gifted wife. ‘Ibeir benefit will rival Jul- lien’s grand Testimonial Concert, which is tanta- mount to saying that it will be one of the best enter- tainments ever given within the walls of Old Drury. Mr. W. R. Markwell's “ feerie,” at the Porte St. Martin, Peris, is announcéd for represeutation next Monday week. M. and Mme. Jullien leave Liverpool for New York on Wednesday, the 27th inst, on board the American mail steamer Baltic. Mr. Arthur Chap- ell, with the celebrated Maile. Anna Zerr, and ity of Bs pene al solo players, come out in the Atlantic on the 10th of August. It is to be hoped that these fine Yankee steamers will deliver their valuable freights ot first class musical talent with all celerity and security. Messrs. Koenig, Bottessini and Lavine, owing to their numerous pending en- gagements, will not leave England till somewhere about the 13th of August. I understand that M. Jullien has arranged to give his first concert in Castle Garden the last week in August. The Yan- kees have, believe me, a great treat in store, while us poor Britishers have inconrolably to mourn the | loss of the only individual who ever rendered Lon- don bearable during its dreary winters. ity Don Casar.

I do not know ifany of the Belgium or English newspapers will give you the following details about the attempt made on Tuesday last to murder Louis Napoleon, while he was going to the Opera Comique House, but you may rely upon the correct report which I send tothe New York Henan. J was preent on the spot by mere chance, and saw the whole transaction. It was about half-past seven o'clock when the Emperor and Empress arrived, in a large barouche, escorted only by a few footmen and servanta, at the entrance of the Comique Opera theatre. This place of amusement, newly fitted up and repainted, was opened for the first time, par ordre, and the opera of ‘‘ Haydée” was to be per- formed for the occasion. The theatre was filled froma pit to dome, and as I had a secnred seat I had been lounging till the last moment on the chairs pluced on the Boulevard opposite the theatre wait ing forthe hour of commencement. I had just arrived on the stairs of the Opera Comique wnen the police officers waiting on duty the arrival of the Emperor made a rush, and the imperial carriage arrived in front of the house. There was a con siderable number of persons around the house; and many men in blue blouses, appearing to be workmen of the lowest clus#, were to be observed in the first rank of the crowd, just by the theatre. As soon as Louis Napoleon alighted from the carriage a shout, utrered by about twenty persous, and similar to the singing of a night owl, was heard by the ne, who were look’ng in silence at the arrival of erot the State, and immediately about forty men, armed with pistols aud daggers, (couleaur pergnards,) allvew aud brizht,as if they had just mthe hands of a maker, made a rush § Napoleon, shouting: “A mort le Fortunately for the Emperor, there were around 4 large posse of French police nec, who had euflicieht strength to throw down aboot fifteen men among the couspirators, aud to secure the life ot Lauis Napoleon, who, as well as the Empress, did not show the least fear, but entered the theatre slowly, coolly, smiling to the manager and his etalf of employs, who were shouting “* Vive le Em Asa wat ter of cource as the most interesting “ play” was act to be reef: inside, but outeide tht theatre, 1 remained without, and’ followed the police officers and their fourteen prisoners to the house of the Commissaire de Police of the ward where they were taken, pre- viour to their translation to tie Prefecture of Police and Corciergerie. These desperadoes were then searched by the sergens deville, and there were reven among them who were armed with pistols, double-barreled, petfectiy loaded, and the seven others with large bowre knives. They all refased to epeak, or reveal their projects; and despite all the exertions of the Comminsaire de Police, they kept the utmost silence, opposing uo resistance to the grasp tyran!” ofthe officers and to their search. These fourteen cons; irators, I dare say, offered to the beholder the most horrible sight. “hey all had ugly faces, and seemed to be quite digeppointed at having thus mis- ted their purpore; but none among them showed the Jeatt want of courage, and they appeared to be ready + to meet death, prison or exile, for the punishment of their crime. The affiir bad been #0 quickly ac- complirhed that Done a the theatre knew what had been going on outside, and a quarter of an hour after, when I came to my t, I was the first one in the orchertra, (on the left side,) to speak of the plot to my neighbors, and give them the detail ot what I had seen. In the pul green room there were soon arecmbled all the gentlemen of rank present {n the theatre, who desired to know something, and at the beginning of the second act, when the Emperor, who had been in the parlor of his box, made his appear- ance on the balcony, there was a deafening shout of “Vive Empeieur!”’ uttered by bis partizans,towhom he bowed in the most conrteous style. The perform- ance went on, as usval. with much éc/at, and at the end of the opera the Emperor and Empress retired amidst the cheers of ull the Bonapartists congregated ou the passage. Such is the exact narration of this plot, which is now enveloped in the darkest mystery. It is very doubtful whether the government will allow the press of Paris to publish the details of the affair, the names of the conspirators, and all the particulars which will be unveiled by the investigation of the police. We shall see about it, and for my part I will be aur éccutes to send more details in my next. ‘The second leading event of the week is the pas- sage of the Pruth river by the Russian army, which | AeA he the beginning of hostilities between Turkey and Russie, Much has been said upon this subject by the English and French press, but the conclusion w cy come to is in favor of peace; and the journalists and diplomats are persuaded that there will be no | war. It is nearly certain that the Russian army will | stop in the Danubian provinces, and will await the effect of that pretiminary measure. In the mean- time, the French and Brit‘sh fleets w'll anchor in the waters cf Constantinople, and will occupy their d'plomatic position in order to let the pegotiators make a new effort. The war, then, will only be at | hand in care that Russia sends another ultimatum, with delay; alter the end of which the army of Nicholus will advance towards Constantinople. ven the fleets of France and England would be fouad to give assistance to the Turkish squadron. The miz- sion of M. de Brock, Envoy from Austria to Con- stantinople, and of General Giulay, at St. Petersburg, are considered as the best proofs that the Austrian goverpment desires not to ree the Czar attack the Turks. The warlike proceedings of Nicholas are gene- nly charged upon the wise diplomats of Hurope; aud they all say that the Russian Czar is quite guilty, on this occasion, in making such efforts to compel Ab- del Meojid to signa private treaty with him. Nicho- | las is now acting under a question of Amour propre, | and not at all a political object, for the only cause of | the present hostilities is the disappointment of | the Czar about his demand to the Sublime Porte, | which bas been rejected, owing to the influence of France and Englund. In care of a war, be itknown | in advance that there would be a general revolution. ary explosion all over the continent, as soon as the first gun shot should have been fired in the Turkish waters. ‘There Is a rumor afloat which says that the Rus- sian army, taking advantage of the low water in the Danube, bave foimed a dum under the city of Salina, in order to prevent the Turkish sloops, which até coming on the chores to load with grain, to reach the upper part o! the river and accomplish their trade. ‘Three hundred slvopa are now detained at Salina, aud a steamboat, called the SeBield, has been obliged to return to Constantinople without taking the mail aud passengers from Austria. This interruption of | the navigation of the Danube would cause much | damage to all those who are trading with London and Liverpool. Whilst Ruseia is invading the Danubian provinces, the Englich government has rent a message to the French Minister of Foreign Affuirs, by which, it is aid, the crossing of the Pruth river cannot be con- sidered a casus belli, and that this step of Russia is not svflicient to give orders to the British and French fleets to }.#88 the Dardanelles. Iam told by a well informed gentieman, that when this despatch was received in Paris the Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately called at St. Cloud to ree the Emperor, who got into a vivlent passion, and said to M. Drouyn de l'Huys, * Very well; if England does not sup- port me in this effuir; if, after having taken me into the coalition against Russia, the British government goes backward, I will place myself at the head of the revolutionary republican party of Europe, aud | will declare war to all the powers of the conti- | nent. We thall see who will be the loser.” If this | report is true, what shall we sce next? te was rumored last night that M. de Kisseleff, | Ambassador of Russia to Paris, had ordered a chasse parte to leave France, and was in readiness to receive | is passports from the Emperor. It was also said | that M. de Kisseleff had received a private itch, | hy which he was informed that the French and Eng- livh had aheady began hostilities against Russia. | All these rumors, I am glad to say, are without | foundaticn ; I called this morning at the Russian | embassy, where | saw the Secretary of Legation, | who assured me that there was no such thing ever | dreamt of. Fifty-five thousand muskets have been sold by the French government to the Turkish power, for the use of the army, and this large amount of guns has | been despatched to Constantinople by the steam- | ehips of the Messageier Nationales, in the Mediter- | ranean sea. A limited number of French officers | has also been sent to Constantinople, to teach , strategy tothe troops of Abdul Medjid. The other matters in France, though not 0 in- | teresting a3 the preceding facts, are nevertheless | worth being mentioned, and they are recapitulated | as follows :— The Emperor attended a grand review of the troops | at the Camp of Satory, on Thureday last, during | which, to the great astonishment of all those persons | who were prevent, no shouts of enthusiasm were | uttered, either by the army or by the people. The Duke o’Albe, his brother-in-law, the Empress, and her si-ter, were present, and were mueh gazed | at by the idlers and curious congregated at Satory. The duke d’Albe is a very fine ee man, of dark complexion and very bright eyes. His wife is a very elegant woman, and, though not so pretty asthe | Empress, ehe is considered as a belle in her country. | The Etat Mujor of the army was invited atthe end | of the review to a grand dinner, which was given by the Emperor in the Salon of Verzeilles. The inauguration of the Bordeaux railway, which was to take place on the 15th of this month, and at which Louis Napoleon was to be present, on his wa to Eaux Bouner and the Pyrenées, with his wife, will take place on the 1sth inst.; but the Emperor will not o as expected, owing to the circumstances of the fomtan question, which will detain him in Paria, perhaps longer than he expected. The journey of the Emprees to Eaux Bonner is also postponed to | another epoch, and there is arumor afloat which as that she is still in a very interesting state. Vhilst the Emperor is quietly passing reviews at Satory, bis cousin, Napoleon Bonaparte, is at Hel- fant, near St. Omer, receiving the utmost compli. ments from the authorities of that place, and also reviewing troops by order of the chief or the State. lain told that the French juris consultes have re- ecived orders from the Minister of Justice to examine the English and American laws relative to bail, in or- der toarrange and appropriate them to French legis tion. Such a new law would be quite desirable, par- ticularly at this epoch of the 1¥th century, under such an arbitrary government. In Bpaip the mortinteresting questions are relative to the decided restitation of property to the heir of the Prince of Peace Godoy; to the immediate recall of Narvrez, aud to the convocation of the Cortes for the lst of October next. In Switzerland a riot took place at Basle on the 26th ult., where the elections were to take place, dung which several persons were dangerously woundes by the discharge of a cannon against the consaveturs party. M. Charles, the great eaemy of the government of Fribourg, was very severely beaten by the mob, and taken home, out of his genres, Mr. Fay, representative of the United States in Swiizerhind, arrived at Berne on the 29th ult., and delivered his credentials to the Federal Council. At Mijan the rumor of an expected ontbreak of the Mazzinian party was +pread away, but svon con- tradicted. Nevertucless, ge! versons have been arretted and kept in prison There is a certain fact— Mazzini is wlways engaged in dieturbing the public hb in that country, excited by his monomania of iherating Lombardy from the hands of Austria.

Stowe is now living in great retirement ia Paris with a Mrs. Chapman, an abolitionist, of Kos. ton ; £0 at least it issaid. She sees nobody, and ia seen by nobody. She says that she is quite tired of the fuss that hus been made of her in Ragland, and wishes to be in private. This may be the care ; and yet, after all, it fs Hobson’s choice, for ne American in Paris connected with his government and people, (unless he were a declared abolitionist,» would compromire himself by paying any attentions to her, since she hus been made an abolitioneas—as it were a great-gun and stundard-bearer of that party. In fact, the Americans here, of whom there are 4 great number, have not taken the least notice of her whatever. It is only the English in Paris, and those, too, of a special class, who have shown any interest whatcyer about Ler, so as even to wish to know whether she was here or not. Bince the above was written Mrs, Stowe has ‘ct§ Paris for Geneva, where she intends to stay in ret're- ment for some time, to recruit her shattered nerves and health.

It bos beew known in Paris and London for some days past that the Ru-siaus bad crossed the Pruth, The manifesto issued by Nicholas on that occasion justifying bis conduct to the other powers, has bu just arrived. The autocrat, as if he counted with eon: fidence upon the ered:lity of the world, and that mem were all to be easily dujed bv bimeelf, has the aston- ishing cheek to put forth io his manifesto the assertion that this seizure up: the States of another people, this occupation of their country, is not a cause of war—be is not heresy making war! It is almost a moral certauty that Lord Aberdeen and his col. Jeagnes will tuilow tne cue, and pretend to believe, is nota casus (elli.

In all this affair, from beginning to end Turkey is passive in the hands of her friends aud allies, and especially her great ally, England. Whatever view rhe tikes will be the view of Lord and given forth to the world by Turkey as tho ad- vice, consultation, and determination of Eayiand— we may euy, morally, at her absolute dictation. If Turkey csten:ibly recedes, and shows the white feather, it will be the English cabinet—it will be the pieeent batch of poor, weak, shellow minded, timid pglish stateemen—who recete, draw back, tremble, and show the white feather. So much for the hum bug of giving it cut to the world that ‘t will or it will not be a casus, as Turkey shall happen to view the matter. If Turkey is nade to say that she does not regard it as a casus belli it will be much against her will—it will stick in her throat to say 10; but she must submit—ehe must say what her allies and friends dictate—she is in their hands altogether, Such are the views of a great American politician who is now in Kurepe tuking a survey of the conti- nent and of matters and things in general.

But even if England ard France should rufier Turkey to say that it is a cosus belli, it isto be feured that they are too much affroid of Russia, too desirous of pleasing and eoax- ing her, to take a step which would destroy her pre* pordernting power and benefit largely all rest mankind.

In the southern parts of France the rain and bail has damaged nearly all the crops, and in eome parts of the Alps and Pyrennees tha | snow storms bave been so numerons that all the heights of the mountains are covered with the frosty waters. In Paris the last days of the last week have been epoiled by 2 heavy full of rain and eold. But on Tuesday and Weducsdry the bright sun and a heag of 33 degrees made their reappearance, whilst to-day it rains still, and the weather is os chilly as ina day of autumn.

Tle typhoid fever is causing many deaths, and there are also several cases of other fe- vers, Which are more or less injurious to the popula tion.
