ROBBERY AT LORD J. MURRAY'S.—On Saturday information was received that VValter Moodie, valet to Lieut. Colenet Lord James Murray, 25, West- bourne place, PimLco, had absconded, plundering tr'e place of a large quantity of silver plate, articles of jewellery, gold epaulettes, &c., in value between two and three hundred pounds. It is believed that he will try lo get out to Australia, and a full description of his person has been sent to all the outports. ANOTHER FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Intel- ligence reached London on Satu;.day,tf'?,,VU1- Iierv, near Sealtam Harbour, and within a few miles of Sunderland, which resulted in the loss of six lives and injury to many others. The colliery consists of two separate pits, one of which belongs to the Mar- quis of Londonderry, and the other to the Earl of Durham. The accident happened on Thursday at noon. The inquest was opened on Saturday, but it was adjourned in order to communicate with the Secretary of State, who will send down a govern- ment inspector to inquire into the lamentable event. THE NATIONAL DEFENCES.—The total amount voted in supply for the army, navy, ordnance, mis- cellaneous, and special services, for the current year 1852-53, was 20,445,8511. Ofthissnm,6,878,288<. was voted for the army, including militia and com- misspriat; 6,492,6461. for the navy; 2,437,163/. for the ordnance 4,177,754/. for miscellaneous charges and 460,000/. for special services. THE Two BREAKINGS.—The regard of the Scotch for the Sabbath is well known. A gentleman, who was fond of collecting different sorts of earth and stones, was or.ce walking about the country on the Sunday. He took out his little pocket-hammer, and began to knock pieces out of the rock. A poor old woman passing by, said, What are you doing there, man?" He answered, "Don't you see? I am breaking a stone." Ye are doing muir (more) than that, man," she rejoined; "ye are breaking the Sab- bath." GREEK TO HIM.—A dabbler in literature and in fine arts, who prided himself on his kllowledge and proper use of the English language, came upon a youngster sitting on the bank of a mill-pond, angling for gudgeons, and thus addressed him :—"Adoles- cens, art thou not endeavouring to entice the finny race to engulph into their denticulated mouths a barbed hook, upon whose point is affixed a dainty allurement ?" No," said the boy, I'm fishin' GOOD IIKTORT.—A young wife remonstrated with her husband, a dissipated spendthrift, on his con- duct. My love," said he, I am only like the prodigal son — I shall reform by and by." "And I will be like the prodigal son, too," she replied, for I will arise and go to my father;" and accordingly off she went. THE CASE OF ALDERMAN SALOMONS.—In the Court of Exchequer on Tuesday se'nnight, the case of" Chub v. Alderman Salomons," partly heard the previous day, was concluded. It was an action of debt, to obtain 1,500/. from the defendant, the amount of penalties alleged to have been forfeited by him by illegally voting three times in the House of Com- mons, without having taken the oath of abjuration in the form prescribed by statute. The Chief-Baron, Sir F, Pollock, ill summing up, impressed upon the jury the necessity of their being satisfied that there was sufficient proof of the defendant's having actually voted as alleged. He confessed that he did not re- gard as evidence the books which the clerks of the House had produced. The jury returned a verdict for defendant, after five minutes consultation. It was stated that the foreman was a member of the Jewish persuasion. INAUGURATION OF THE WELLINGTON STATUE AT EDINBURGH.—On Friday last, the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington was inaugurated, in the metropolis of Scotland, by a brilliant and impos- ing ceremonial. The day was appropriately chosen as being the anniversary of the duke's crowning vic- tory at Waterloo. The Wellington tes imonial was originated about twelve years ago by a great number of the nobility and gentry of Scotland, and above 10,000/. were subscribed for the object. It was re- solved to erect a colossal equestrian statue in bronze to his grace, and the work was entrusted to Mr. John Steel, of Edinburgh, whose previous achievements fully entitled him to the confidence of the subscribers. The artist has, after the lapse of ten or eleven years, during which he has had to surmount numerous dif- ficulties connected with the casting in bronze of a statue of such magnitude, at length produced a work which all admit will vie with any equestrian statue in the kingdom, whether in respect to vigorous design or graceful execution. The site chosen for the statue is in front of the Register-office, where it has been raised on a pedestal of between 12 and 13 feet high.

Law and Police Intelligence. I MANSION-HOUSF., MONDAY. — Eliza, the late com- panion of Mahomet Abraham, the black beggar, was brought before the court for the purpose of being for. mally discharged from custody. She was respectably dressed, and conducted herself with propriety. The young woman's father said the girl had, upon being applied to, executed the necessary deed, by which lie was enabled to raise a sum of money for her benefit, and had secured her passage in a vessel about to sa il for America. He expressed himself deeply sensiole of the kindness and attention with which the Lord Mayor had acted upon the occasion upon which the unfortunate case was introduced to his notice She .1 was, he had no doubt, rescued by the humane inter- position which had taken place, from a life of misery and vice. The Alderman asked her whether she was wiiling to go abroad? The Defendant—Certainly, my lord I am de- sirous to take my immediate departure, and I thank the coi rt for the humanity with which I have been treated, and the opportunity that has been given to me of retrieving my character. The Altlerman-I am very glad to hear it. The life which you have been some time leading has been such as to bring disgrace upon yourself and your family, and now that you have the complete oppor- tunity of making amends for your past follies, I :rust you will not disappoint those who have, in conse- quence of the manner in which you have acted while under our care, begun to form a very favourable opinion of you. I now deliver you up to your father, and I impress upon you the necessity of re- flecting upon the dreadful evils you have just been delivered from. The defendant bowed respectfully to the alderman, and assured him that she would never forget either the misery from which she had been rescued, or the benevolence she had met with from the magistrates of London. In the course of the last week the Lord Mayor received several letters from persons making proposals of marriage to the girl, and assuring his lordship that they would treat her with the greatest kindness in the distant countries to which they were anxious to in- troduce her. All the proposals were made by per- sons about to go abroad, some to Australia, others to California. Eliza took her departure fiom England late on Saturday evening. On Tuesday Mahomet was again put to the bar before Alderman Hooper. The Alderman said to hlln-I have been endea- vouring to get you sent back to your own country, as you have expressed your wish to go there but I find that there are difficulties that I cannot control, in the attempt to do what you wish. You have now been in prison upwards of a fortnight, and I consider that confinement a sufficient punishment for the offence you have committed in begging. I now dis- charge you but I caution you against your practice of begging. The great traffic in the City requires that our pavement should not be encumbered by those who seek relief for their necessities or for any other objects. The orders which are given are not at all intended to do injury to the poorer classes. There is no intention of doing a violence to humanity in car- rying out our regulations; but we must not be in- fested by beggars, and I therefore caution you against ever appearing here again. You have been separated from your companion, and you are never likely to meet with her again, and I advise you to drop that sort of business altogether. The defendant—I thank you, my lord. Shall I have my dog again ? Alderman Hooper—Yes; and you shall be sent to the union, where you will be disposed of according to the regulations of the house.

a BIBLE BURNING IN LONDON.-It has been re- ported to us that in the immediate neighbourhood of Orchard-street, Portman-square, a platform is erected on which, from time to time, copies of the Protestant Bible are committed to the flames. We warn the promoters of such proceedings, as they value their own safety, to hold their hands while it is yet time.— Times. SEARCH FOR SIR. J. FRANKLIN.-In connection with the proposed renewal of the search for Sir John Franklin the American papers publish a lettet from Lady Franklin to the President, and atso one from Mr. Peabody, of London, offering to contribute ten thousand dollars, j?ro]"oseffTo furnish the ships. ACCESSION OF HER MAJESTY. -Sunday last, was the fifteenth anniversary of her Majesty's accession. The royal standard was hoisted at the Tower of London, Somerset House, the Admiralty, the stee- ples of St. Martin's in the Fields, St. Margaret's, Westminster, and other public edifices. The different vessels in the various docks (St. Katherine, London, West and East India), and in the river had their variegated colours flying on the occasion. At two o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired the usual royal salute, as also did the batteries and ships of war at Woolwich. ENLISTMENT OF PROTESTANTS TO DEFEND THE POPE.-Papal officers are recruiting in protestant North Germany for the new army which is to defend l the Roman pontiff. The'Weiser Guzette'describes the departure of 100 recruits from Hamburg on the 16th, most of them Prussians and Holsteiners. Lieu- tenant Slurmfels, a Bavarian, was the agent charged with the enlistment, and the men are sent off to Strasburg as they are raised. The Hamburg authori- ties remain neutral in the affair, neither objecting nor assenting. In the course of last week 400 persons enlisted, mos'ly compelled by want to accept the offers made to them A letter from Cologne of the 17th states that on the previous day 80 of the Papal recruits were arrested by order of the Prussian govern- ment, and called upon to produce their papers of legitimation. About 40 proved to be Prussian sub- jects, and his Holiness will probably have to dispense with their aitendance in his dominions. THE GLADSTONE CASE.—It is stated that on Monday night last, at the usual meeting of Mr. Gladstone's friends, the rev. gentleman, according to appointment, gave a short statement of the conclu- sion to which he had come respecting his future course. It appears, then, that with the Rev. Mr. Driffield, the rector of Bew, and some other clergy- men of the established church, and Dr. Cumming, of the Scotch church, he went down to the seat of Sir Culling E. Eardley, Bart., and the result of their conference was, that Mr. Glad-tone came to the de- termination to accept an offer on the part of Sir Cul- ling snd some friends, to become the minister of Furrow-cross Free Episcopal Church, Torquay, De- vonshire. He will consequently give up all thoughts of any appeal to the Privy Council, and satisfy himself, as far as the law of the case is concerned, with what he has seen in the Court of Arches. WELSH PROTESTANT MEETING IN LIVERPOOL.— A very numerous audience assembled at the Concert- hall last week to hear a lecture from the Rev.T Aubrey, Welsh minister of Benn's Garden's, upon the subject of The Popish Heresy, its Rise, its Traditions, and Fall." The lecture was delivered entirely in Welsh, and was most vehemently applauded by the audience. On the platform were Mr. David Lewis, (in the chair,) the Revs. Lot Williams, David James, and Thos. Pearce. and Messrs. Councillors Jeffries, Briscoe, and Messrs. Griffiith, Owen Williams, John Jones, Ellis Jones, A. P. Jones, &c. The lecture was said to be quite equal to any efforts of Gavazzi, the great Italian orator. There were points which told with electrical effect upon the auditory, who, at times, cheered to the echo the sentiments uttered. The rev. gentleman spoke for upwards of two hours and a half. During one portion of the proceedings a disturbance arose, from a cry of No politics," in the gallery. The speaker, had made some allusion to a movement on the part of the Catholics. The Rev. Mr. Aubrey said that they were religious politics, and he gloried in them. The d stur- bance still continued, and another person starting up in the gallery, vehemently denied some assertions of the lecturer. Both the interrupters were compelled, at length, to be silent. At the conclusion of the lecture, a vote of thanks was awarded to Mr. Aubrey. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS, AN ADMIRABLE REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF LIVER COMPLAINTS AND BAD DIGES- TION.—Mr. Wilson, a gentleman lately returned from Bengal, where he had been employed for several years in the Hon. East India Company's Service, called at Professor Hplloway's Establishment a few days ago to state the benefit he had derived from taking these un- paralleled Pills, having suffered from a liver complaint for years, with a digestion so impaired, that for months he could not take any solid food other remedies seemed to have no effect on his disorder, but Holloway's Piils acted so wonderfully in cleansing the liver and strength- ening the digestive organs that he is now quite restored to health. THE WATERLOO BANQUET.—Friday last being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington gave his commemorative banquet at Apsiey-house 10 a gallant band of officers who parti- cipated in the dangers and glories of the field. The representatives of the powels allied with us at the period of the battle called at Apsiey house in the morning, to tender their respects to the illustrious commander, and the same mark of respect was paid by a numerous body of the aristocracy. On no previous anniversary was there such a throng of visitors. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the customary military display on the parade in St. James's-park, was counter manded by the adjutant-general. The men for the duty of the day were marched to the parade at the guard-house near Buckingham-gate, and were there inspected by the brigade major and staff, and afierwards marched to theit respective guards. Each man wore a sprig of laurel in his cap, and those of the cavalry had one in the helmet. The colours of the battalions were suimounied by a large bunch of laurel. rile Chelsea pensioners and boys of (he Military Asylum were regaled in the customary annual-manner. The boys of the Duke of Yoik's School, headed by their band, paid a visit, in a body, to the panorama of the Duke of Wellington's campaigns at the Catery of Illustration. POLITICS MADE EASY.—Politics are never made soejsy even to theapprehension of babes and suck- lings, as when represented by penny rclis. What an easy morning task with the breakfast The board is spread. The Simmonses are very small shop-keepers, with a laige range of commodiues, from peg-tops to turn p-tops: when all are assembled, parents and progeny, there are eight.

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A SAILOR,-On Satur- day morning, information was received at the Leman- street Police Station, Whitechapel, that a seaman named George Ilall, aged 29 years, who had recently occupied lodgings at a sailors' accommodation house, situated at No. 7, Pnnces-square, New road, St. George's in the East, had died under very mysterious circumstances. The deceased was a mariner belong- ing to the American brig Joshua Bates, under the command of Captain William Easterbrooke, which vessel was towed into the London Docks, on Thurs- day, the 10th of June, with a full cargo from China. On vVednesday morning, the deceased left Princes- square in good health, and went to the American Consul's pay office to receive his wages, which amounted to a considerable sum. He returned to his lodgings in a state of stupor, and shortly after- wards fell down insensible, when several marks of violence were discovered on his face, the left eye being much blackened and bruised, The landlord endeavoured to rouse him, but lie was unable to articulate. He was placed in bed, but became raving mad, and so violent that it was deemed necessary to send for Mr. Garrett, surgeon, of New-road, who attended, and, upon making all examination of the deceased, he pronounced him to be labouring under the influence of some poisonous drug. Mr. Garrett opened a vein in the arm, but without effect. Mr. English, another medical gentleman, of East Smith- field, was called, and concurred in the treatment adopted by Mr. Garrett: but the deceased never rallied, and died on Friday last. Since the deceased's death several contusions have been discovered on his body. It has been proved that the deceased had taken his money, and the supposition is that he must have been hocussed and robbed in some house of ill fumo 01.- Liua pockets were quite emotv w 111ri '»•- J»■ — or tne case has readied Mr. W. Baker, the coroner. COTTON FROM AFRICA.—An interesting importa- tion has just reached the hands of Mr. J. A. Turner, the President of the Manchester Commercial Associa- tion, as the result of an experiment which he and other gentlemen were induced to set on foot about 18 months ago to test the capabilities of the coast of Africa for the production of cotton. Upwards of 1,000/. were subscribed, and agents were instructed to spend the money in the cultivation of the plant, which is indigenous to the country. In October they had succeeded so far that they were enabled to report that on one farm they had 15,000 fine plants, bearing pods, which promised to be of good quality. At their request machines and presses were sent out, and their recent despatches show that the natives take to the work with avidity, that there are already farms in cultivation by them, and that their labour is cheap- two dollars per month per man, one and a half dollar per woman, and one dollar per child, all without rations. Mr. Turner has received six bales of the pro- duce, each weighing about 1 J cwt., and valued at 6d. per lb., approaching to good Orleans in appearance though grown from indigenous seed. The farms are clustered round Cape Coast Castle, on the Gold Coast, and they are of a most promising character. Assuming the real value of the cotton to be 6d. per lb., that price will be a most satisfactory profit on the cost, which, including freight to England, does not exceed 3d per lb. REGULATION or TIME BY ELECTRIC TELE CRAPH.— On Friday last the requisite arrangements that have for some time past been pending between the Electric Telegraph Company, the Astronomer Royal, and the South Eastern Railway, for the establishment and transmission throughout London and the provinces of mean Greenwich or uniform time, being completed, the construction of the inge- nious apparatus intended to carry out the object was commenced by Mr. Edwin Clark, the company's engineer, upon the dome of the company's west-end station, opposite Hungerford maiket. The operations, which commenced as early as three in the morning, attracted great attention from the passers by through the Strand during the day. A scaffolding was first erected on the top of the cupola, built under the di- rection of Mr. Sandys, the constructor of the appara- tus, designed by Mr. Clark. This scaffolding was 30 feet high, and from its summit an uninterrupted view of London and the river was obtainable. The total height at which the apparatus stands being about 110 feet above ihe level of ihe Thames, a very high wind prevailed at intervals during the day at this alti- tude. The sc iffolding having been secured, the next step was that of r.iising the apparatus, which consists of a long quadrangular shaft or pillar of wood 38 feet high and 8 in circumference, formed of three sections. The first section of this hollow shaft was fixed by the workmen into the floor of the room underneath the dome, and thence carried through and joined on to the second section, and the third, the latter of which was then passed through the centre of a large globe or ball, which is intended, by means of sympathetic electrical action, to fall every day simultaneously with the well-known ball on the top of Greenwich Observatory, between which and the Strand the elec- tric wires have been completed for the purpose, so as to indicate to all London and the vessels below bridge exact Greenwich time. The ball is a remark. able object, being nearly 6 feet high and 16 in cir- cumference, and could with ease accommodate three people inside. It is formed of zinc, painted dark black, so that it might be the better seen in contrast with a light sky, with a bread white belt diametered about it, making it look like a great globe or re- presentation of a ringed Saturn. The shaft is con- tinued a few feet above the ball, and at the extremity is a bright gilded weather vane, with E. T. C." on the arms. It may be stated, to render the nature of the mechaaism more understandable, that the ap- paratus is provided with an air cylinder in connexion with the telegraphic wires between London and Greenwich, and that when the ball at Greenwich falls an instantaneous shock of electricity will be communicated along them, and this acting on an electrical trigger connected with the ball in theStrandT will cause it to fall simultaneously with that at Green- wich, and the first experiment will be tried when the arrangements for the purpose are perfected. The cost of carrying out this novel chronometrical ma. chine is estimated at 1.0001..

DREADFUL SHIHWUECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.- Saturday intelligence was received at Lloyd's, that the ship Nerio, ot Sunderland, Day, master, which sailed from Antwerp tor Montreal on the 15lh of April, with 150 emigrants, had been totally lost out he Bird Islands, and 83 persons drowned. Sixty-seven of the passengers and 13 of the crew succeeded in reaching the island, some almost in a state of nudity, all having lost everything they possessed. The poor fellows contrived to seek shelter from the weather for the females, but the majority were exposed to all the inclemency of the weather, and entirely without sub- sistence beyond a few barrels of provisions washed from the wreck. After enduring the most dreadful privations they were rescued by the Thames, of Leith, bound to Miramichi, and landed at Boston on the 4th June. Information was also received that the Fair- mount, from Cienfuga3 to Philadelphia, had been struck by the Tennessee in the Gulf of Mexico, the master, crew, and all the passengers on board perishing.

Foreign Intelligence, 0 FRANCE.—The Corps Legislative is to hold an extiaordinary stss on of some days afier the close of the present session, to vote railway bills and other urgent laws. Last week Said Pacha, the Egyptian fugitive, was entertained at a banquet at the Elysee, where several ministeis and high functionaries were present, and where he was treated with the greatest distinction by the President. Said Pacha is the son of Mehemet A!i, and therefore, uncle to the prpsent viceroy of Egypt. Letters from Alexandria state that this gutst of Lonis Napoleon lies under the gravest ac- cusations. His palace of Shernaui,near Damanhour, has been searche j by Abbas Pacha, and his seryants and friends, to the number of a hundred persons, accused of having conspired with the revolted tribes of the desert, are at this moment imprisoned at Cmro. It is reported that a government journal is going to be established on a scale equal to that of the largest London papeis. A]. de la Gueronnibre has been ssnt for to the Elysee to be consulted on th:s subject. It is said that Dr. Veron pretends to have in his possessioit the manuscript of an article of M. Granier de Cassagnac, correcsed by the Prince Louis Napo- leori, and that his obstinacy in holding out against warnings of the minister of police and communiques of the I Moniteur,' arose from this circumstance. The Ala quis d'llauieville has resigned his func- I tions as councillor-general in the Mayenne, president of the agricultural committee, and municipal coun- cillor and member of the agricultural chamber of Charchigne, in consequence of his refusal to take the oath A decree in the Moniteur' settles the attributions of the mayors of Lyons. Another bestows the mili- tary medal on the chief generals. The Railway bills of Cherbourg and Bordeaux to I Cette are to be voted before the Corps Legislatif is prorogued. The Cherbourg line is conceded to the Houen Company. Important despatches have arrived from Algeria, announcing the investment of Collo by the French troops. The Moniteur' contains a report from the Minister of War, to the President of the Republic, pointing out the necessity of reorganising the national guard :n Algeria. As the native population is noted for its fickle disposition, and is easily led astray by the incitements to revolt, each colonist must be prepared at any moment to throw down his implements of husbandry and take up his gun to repel an attack when made. The report recommends various changes wiili a view to concentrate power in the hands of the Governor-General. A decree of 77 articles from the President of the Republic follows, reorganising the national guard of Algeria in the manner proposed. The division of the Council of State in the affair of the Orleans property was declared on Saturday. The following list is in circulation, respecting the way in which the votes were given :—For the government V uillefroy, Bauchard, Baudet, Charlemangne, Vaisse, Botilatignier, Aliaid, Villemaine, and M. Baroche as President of the Commission. Against the government-Suin, Tourangin, Maiilard, Vintry, Cornudet, Boulay, Giraud, Marchand. Being a majority of one for the government, but without the vote of the President the votes would have been equal. It is stated that the President of the Re- public is willing to grant a prolongation of time for the sale of that portion of the Orleans property which is not confiscated. A company is forming for the purpose of buying np the Orleans property on speculation. The capital at present spoken of is 50 millions. Some of the miners who struck the other day at River-de-Gier have been subscribing money to send a deputation to the President of the Republic to ask him to act as an arbitrator between them and their masters. The fact was paraded by the Patrie' as an instance of the great popularity of Louis Napoleon. The President* however, finds this sort of popularity rather alarming, and M. de Maupas has despatches to the local authorities to use all means to stop the deputation from coming to Paris, and to assure them that the Prince gave them his best wishes, but would not receive them. SWITZERLAND—In the canton of Ticino con- siderable leligious agitation is going on. The Bishop of Como, having dismissed four priests of this canton, who bad voted as members of the Grand Council in favour of a decree tending to secularize the clergy, the Council of State Duhlis^edA^QGla. under a penalty of from 100fr. to 10,000fr., from aiding in the execution of the episcopal decree. GERMANY—The Danish government's repudia- tion of the loans contracted by the insurrectionary governments of Schleswig-Ilolstein, is a hard blow for the capitalists at Hamburg, where the major part of the bonds were held. Remonstrances and protests will be laid before the Frankfort Diet, on the plea that the governments in the duchies were recognised, and the Statt halterschaft were installed by the Ger- man powers. The success of such application is very improbable, though M. von Manteuffel, it is said, will warmly support it. Nevertheless some hope of get- ting the measure retracted must be entertained, for the bonds still stand at 20 per cent. SPAIN.—On the 13th inst., General Lara, the new minister of war, arrived in Madrid. He brought some important news with him. A Carlist move- ment had taken place at Alcanices, ill Aragon. It was soon suppressed, and General Lara gave an earnest of what may be expected from him in his new position, by ordering the ringleaders to be shot after a short shrift. The Gazette' publishes royal decrees appointing General Lara minister of war, and General Espeleta minister of marine. ROME -Ttie I Semaphore' of Marseilles states that a letter from Rome had reached that port announcing that thiee British men-of-war had arrived at Ancona, to protect Mr. Murray, sentenced to death by the tribunal of the Consulta. A letter has also been re- ceived in London from Mr. Freeborn, the British Consul at Rome, in which he says:—" My private opinion is that Murray's sentence will be commuted, his life saved, and ultimately his liberty obtained; but unfortunately he has brought himself into his pre- sent perilous situation by acts of the most reprehen- sible imprudence." Mr. Moore, the British Consul at Ancona, has written to much the same effect to Mr. Murray's uncle. TURKEY. —Russia claims from the principality of Wallachia 30 millions of piastres for the expenses of occupation. This demand has been submitted to the Porte, and will be the object of a serious exami- nation. Afif Bey, vice-chancellor of the Divan, is to go to Jerusalem, to put into execution the arrangement con- cluded by the Porte with M. de Lavalette. The Sultan has given orders to the Capitan Pach to prepare with the greatest possible despatch two squadrons for the Archipelaga, which are to cruise in search of pirates. The command of these squadrons, of which the armament is in an advanced slate, will be confined to two distinguished admirals of the im- perial marine. One of the squadrons, consisting of three Ligates and one brig, is to cruise upon the coast of Roumelia from the Dardanelles to Dulcino in the Abbania, under the command of the Admiral Mus- tapha Pasha, ferik of the admiralty. The other squadron, consisting of three frigates, one corvette, one schooner, and one steamer, will explore the coasts of Asia far as Beyrout, under the orders of Admiral Ahmed Pacha, ferik and a member of the council of the admiralty. The total naval force of the Turks upon the Europeon side of the Archipelago is 14 ships, mounted with 274 guns. Their total naval force on the Asiatic side of the Archipelago is 18 ships, armed with 380 guns. The whole fleet is manned by about 6,000 men. AMERICA.—The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, arrived in Liverpool on Sunday morning about 11 o'clock, with 90 passengers, and specie to the amount of 157,000 dols. She brings also 80 soldiers with ther families from British America. The Cambria sailed from Boston on the 9th instant, and called on the 11th at Halifax. She reports the arrival of the Hermann at New York on the 7ih, and the America at Halifax en route to Boston on the 8th inst. The proceedings of the democratic National Con- vention at Baltimore had resulted iu the nomination of General Pierce, as a compromise candidate for the Presidency. A great fire in Montreal on the 6th instant has consumed 1,000,000 dols. worth of property. Two lives were lost. Great preparations were being made in New York and many other places to give Mr. T. F. Meagher, the Irish exile, a public reception and a motion had been made in Congress soliciting the passage of a law granting to Mr. Meagher the right of citizenship with- out the formality of observing the laws relating to naturalization. Tiiis however had not, so been successful.

Domestic Intelligence. An add.ess, bearing the signature of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, was, on Saturday week, issued to the elec- tors of Nottingham, asking for a renewal of their con- fidence in Inni at ihe ensuing general election. At a meeting of electors held in the Exchange- 11 ul room, Nottingham, last week, to advocate the return of Mr. Sturgeon, "on democratic principles," the platform suddenly came down with a tremendous crash, throwing the candidate and his friends in a heap on tile floor. No one was injured. The value of the farming stock in England insured in the various fire offices throughout the kingdom in the year ending the 25th of December, 1851, was 54,935,053/. The amount insured in Scotland within the year was 4,069,3081. At a meeting of the Jewish electors of Liverpool, on Tuesday se'nnight, in the Clarendon-rooms, Liver- pool, NJ r. L. Nlozley iii the chair, it was resolved to support the election of those candidates at the ensuing contest who were favourable to the removal of the Jewish civil disabilities. A curious watch, which formerly belonged to Prince Charles Edward Stewart, the Pretender, and a silver tankard, presented by King Charles If., at the ltestoration, to F. Wolf, of Madeiey, in whose house he had been secreted after the defeat of Worcester, in 1680, may be s;en in Mr. Maver's shop window, Lord-street, Liverpool. A schoolmaster died in London last week from starvation. The day after his death he became en- titled to 120/. in cash, and 60/. a year. Sir Thomas Hesketh, of Rufford, and the Hon. Captain Egerton, second son of the Earl of Ellesmere, are again talked of as candidates for the representation of South Lancashire. It is said that the Carlton Club will supply a large sum of money for the contest. The Exeter papers announce that Sir John Yarde Buller, Hart.,M.P, for South Devonshire, is to be raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Brixham. The government have taken means to prevent by our naval power any efforts that may be attempted by American adventurers against the Virgin Islands. Before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Coun- cil, on Friday, the owners of the Cork and Liverpool steamer Nimrod appealed against a decree of the Court of Admiralty, in the case of the collision at the entrance of the Mersey, on the 21st of April, with the screw-steamer Genova. The appeal was dis- missed. From a return (obtained by Sir P. Egerton, M.P.) it appears that, in the year ending the 5th of January last, 338,9811.cwt., 1 quarter, and 4 lb. of cheese were imported into the United Kingdom. Lady Edward Filzalan Howard, wnose "alleged" love of a convent life, when Miss Talbot, had well- v nigh led to her imprisonment within one of these establishments, gave birth to a son on Friday week, at her noble husband's mansion, Lower Grosvenor- street. A reduction of Is. 4d. per cwt. in the in)port duties on foreign sugar will come into operation on the 51h of July, reducing the duty to 19s. 4d, Tiie representation of Sciiiller's I William Tell,' has been prohibited at Trieste. The Countess of Neuilly, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, have left Clare. mont for the Castle Hotel, Richmond, where they intend sojourning for a few weeks. The sum found on Mr. Fearges O'Connor when he was taken into custody amounted to 1,200l. in notes. The noted chief, Garibaldi, has lately been at Hong Kong, from Callao, in command of the Peru- vian vessel, Carmen.

Negotiations are now going on between the Post- offices of London and Brussels foi establishing twice- a-day mail communication between England and Belgium. The Propontis steamer, last week, brought from the coast of Africa parcels of oranges and pine-apples in a good state, consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, and the planters are looking forward to an extended trade as soon as the regular monthly steamers are established. ..c^oywTilcti the Saxon General Cereni lost his life. The amount of loss sustained by Messis. Clowes in the late fire on their premises has been considerably over-estimated. A great portion of the smaller and more valuable type is not so much injured as was at first supposed, and though an immense quantity of printed and unprinted paper has been totally de- stroyed, yet a portion of the loss is covered by the floating policies of booksellers and religious societies; so that 4.000[. to 5,000l. will probably be the extent of Messrs. Clowes' loss. The case of the Rev. R. Whiston came again on Friday last, before the Bishop of Rochester, assisted by Mr. Baron Parke and Dr. Lushington, as asses- sors, in the Arches Court. Ihe arguments on be. half of the Dean and Chapter of Rochester oc- cupied the whole of the day, and the case was then adjourned. Friday's 'Gazette' contains the appointment of Colonel Sir Jolin Gaspard Le Marchant, to be Lieut. Governor of the province of Nova Scotia.

The yellow fever is committing dreadful ravages at Rio Janeiro. Out of two hundred and seventy im- migrants from the Azores, only 37 were alive a month after their arrival. The abolition of the death penalty does not ap- pear to work well in the Slate of Rhode Island, United States. Petitions are circulating throughout that State praying for the repeal of the law and in favour of a return to the old mode of punishment by hanging. The United Service Gazette' says,—" There is a rumour, for which we have reason to believe there is good foundation, that it is in contempla- tion to send another regiment, besides the 40th, to Australia." The Hydra steam sloop, Commodore Belgrave, has been ordered to proceed from Simon's Bay to Danger Point, and there leave an officer, and a boat's crew, to survey the rocks upon which the steam-fri- gate Birkenhead was so fatally wrecked. There was printed on Saturday some returns re- specting the army and navy, which were obtained by Mr. Hume.
