The steamship Canada, from Liverpool on Satur day, the 3d inst., passed Cape Race at a quarter to ten o’clock A. M. today. [The despatch is not dated, and we are uncertain whether she passed the Cape on Monday or Sunday morning.—Rer.] The Canada was intercepted by the news yacht of the Associated Press, which obtained the following summary of her news. Neither the weather she has experienced nor the number of passengers are re- ported:— The screw steamship Indian, from Quebec, ar, rived at Liverpool on the 30th ult. The steamship North Star, from New York, arrived at Southamp- ton on the Ist of July, and the Kangaroo, from New York, arrived at Liverpool on the same day. The news by the Canada is of but little impor- tance. GREAT BRITAIN. ‘The bill allowing the House of Commons to admit Jews passed its second reading in the House of Lords by forty-six majority. The House of Lords had rejected the bill to abo- lish the church rates by a large majority. ‘The Commons were engaged in the consideration of the bill for the government of India. Parliament would be prorogued before the end of July. Considerable anxiety about the Atlantic cable was felt at the departure of the Canada. A private meeting of the sharebolders of the Mli- nois Central Railroad had been held in London. A committee was appointed to look into the affairs of the company, and a delegate goes to New York. FRANCE. The news from France is of an unimportant char- acter. Commercial affairs had improyed at Lyons and Marreilles. SPAIN. ‘Tne Spanish Ministry had resigmed, and a new Jabinet bad heen formed with General O'Donnell at its head, as Minister of Foreign Affairs and War. INDIA. ‘There is nothing later from India, ‘The advices from other portions of Europe are generally unimportant. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TO THA RDITOR OF THE HERALD. Had you been in Union square last evening when the keeper turned out the hundreds of respectable men and women who were enjoying themselves in that cool and pleasant retreat, you would have been struck with the folly and craeity of the proceeding, and, at the same time, with the prompt resignation of the eniferers to their fate. [tis a downright ab- surdity to close the “langs” of the city before eleven o'clock P. M., for it ia only after dusk that the toil worn and sun-burmt mechanic can enjoy their cool atmosphere. You have more than once raked your voice agaiost this curtailment of the poor man’s rights, and [ now ber of you to expose again tia grievance in such a manner as to coll for tuamediate yedre@ from the authorities, One OF TaR Svrmraeny. THE DE RIVIERE ELOPEMENT, ‘The Writ of Habeas Corpus Again before the Courst—The Legal Proceedings Yeeter- dsy—Mrs. Blount in Court—Her Private Conference with Judge Ogden—Mr. Huncke ‘Warned by Colonel Blount not to Harbor Mrs. Biount—The Gallant Zouave’s Cietnece Seized for Debt by the Deputy Sneriff of Hoboken—Deseription ef his Effecte—Tne ‘Whereabouts ef Miss Blount and De Ri-. viere, Purguant to an adjournment upon the return of the writ to the habeas corpus issued by Jadge Ogden and served on Mr. Mulford (de Riviere’s counsel), to produce the bodies of Mra.

Blount, the case was resumed yesterday before Judge Ogden, at the Supreme Court, Circuit, at Hudson City, Mr. Huncke, the proprietor of the Napoleon Hotel, Colonel Biount, Judge Whiting, and the counsel for the defendanw, ware all present, but it was past ten o'clock before Judge Og- den took hie seat. Previovs to the opening of the Court, Col. Blount me: Mr. Huucke in the lower hall of the Court House, and de- manded that he (Mr. Huncke) should produce his wife. Mr. Huncke replied that he had no contro} over her ; but, however, stated that she was willing to come up into Court, and he would gend for her {f it was required. Col. Blount replied that it was necessary, and that he wanted her present. Mr. Huncke gaid, that In consequence of her not being allowed her clothing, she did not think she was ft to make her appearance out of doors. He, however, said that he would send for her, which he did, As to the whereabouts of Capt. de Riviere, Mr. Huncife says that there are not over three men in Hoboken who know where he is. Se (Mr. Huncke) thicke that ho is minus bis bill, which amounts to some $200. At opening of the court some few preliminsry mat- ters were disposed of, after which the Judge called up the special businese, which was the return of the writ. Mr. Remeen then asked for Mr. Muiford, when the Judge replied, ‘‘He is just bebind you, sir—ne does not make much noise, but he’s there.” The two counsel then conferred together for some little time, Lig which the saved ¢ Mrs. Blount =~ pounced vi been broug! up in an open baroucl 'y Richara tes Req., of Hoboken. She was immediately conducted to the Judge's private office, where sho re- mained throughout the proceedings. Her arrival for a time produced quite # sensation. There were several Jacieas in attendance, who were no doubt present expecting to seo Mre. Blount, aa they soon afterwards left. ‘then stated that Col. Blount had Pde rorer the exceptions to Mr. Hancke’s return; that the dosament being considered defective he therefore filed the following exceptions :— SUPREME COURT OF NEW JRRSEY—REVORE OGDEN, J.
