an invitation to the Prince and his brothers to accompany the President to a grand review , which took place this week at the Champ de Mars . The President had placed the most superb horses of the stud of the Elysee at the disposal of the Indian Princes on this occasion . A statue of Marshal Oudinot , Duke de Reggio , destined for the town of Bar-le-Duc , was placed before the court of the Louvre , facing the Institute , on Saturday . It is in bronze , and represents the marshal with the military cloak , the baton of command in the right hand slightly reposing on the hilt of the sword . In compliance Avith the usual custom the statue was exposed three days before the Louvre before being sent to its destination .
The twenty-fourth anniversary of the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas was celebrated throughout Poland and in Warsaw , on the 3 rd instant , with great pomp . The day was kept as a holiday .

In the evening the theatre was thrown open gratis to the public . It is said that Otho , King of Greece , who is now on a visit to his parents at Aschaffenburg , is to pass by Frankfort on a visit to his sister , the Grand Duchess of Hesse Darmstadt . He will afterwards go to Paris , on a visit to the President , on his pressing invitation .
The Dowager Empress of Brazil , and her daughter the Princess Amelia , arrived at Lisbon from Ostend on the 1 st instant , after an absence of nearly four years . The Queen of Portugal and the rest of the Royal Family have returned from Mafra . The Portuguese Court went into mourning for a month , for the ex-King of the French . The last accounts of the state of the health of her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians are much more favourable . Two physicians from Paris and her Majesty ' s ordinary medical attendant have held a consultation , and have pronounced that the alarming symptoms have diminished during the last few days . Auscultation has been adopted , and no imminent symptoms have been discovered . # The King of Saxony left Dresden on the 11 th instant for Bohemia , to have a conference with the Emperor of Austria .
Prince Albert of Saxony , heir to the throne , while present the other day at a review of the Austrian army in Bohemia , was terribly wounded in the thigh by the kick of a horse . He is said to be out of danger . As the Greek Minister of Public Instruction , Korfiodaki , was leaving his carriage with his wife and the Senator Autoniadis , at a quarter to seven , p . m ., on the 1 st of September , he was mortally wounded by a pistol shot . After suffering dreadfully for two hours he expired , six bullets having struck him near the . heart . The murderer and his two accomplices were arrested . They are Mainotes , and are supposed to be hired assassins . The approaching elections are supposed to have led to the crime .
An erroneous statement has been going the round of the press , to the effect that the gallant General Guyon , late of the Hungarian army , " has forgotten his faith , and has become a Moslem to gain a paehalick . " This is not true . The general , in accepting an appointment in the Ottoman service at Damascus , was not compelled to change his laith , and he is living at that place , with his wife and family , after the manner of an English Christian . General Guyon is a native of Bath . The revival by the AssembUe Nationale of some exploded calumnies against Kossuth , respecting the disappearance of the Hungarian crown , has drawn a spirited defence of that patriot from his countryman , Count Ladislas Teleky . . _ the arrival from

The President Of The Republic Visited On...
The President of the Republic visited on Sunday the fair of St . Cloud , where an immense assemblage was gathered for business and amusement . The President ¦ was exceedingly well received . The Democratic journals have charged Louis Napoleon with giving 20 , 000 f . to the Society of the 10 th of December , which the Moniteiir du Soir of Saturday positively denies , and boldly declares that not a centime ever passed from the Elyse " e to that society . The Siicle gives the following result of the sittings of the councils-general with reference to the revision of the constitution : — Thirty-three departments have either pronounced against the revision or have not chosen to decide in favour of that measure ; thirty-three desire only a legal revision ; thirteen demand the revision , without specifying the conditions under which they would wish to sec this work accomplished ; six departments only have ! voted in favour of an immediate revision .
A telegraphic despatch from Cassel , dated Sept . 17 , announces that the Supreme Court of Appeal has refused to take cognizance of the accusation against the Ministry of violation of the constitution . Many of the Government officials have received instructions to proceed to Hanau , where the Ministers endeavour to establish themselves . . Accounts from Perigueux state that acts of incendiarism are again beginning to be of frequent occurrence in that department ( Dordogne ) . Two immense farmhouses , with their crops , were within the last few days burned to the ground .
_ _ The Civilization , of Toulouse , states that a duel with knives took place , a few days back , between two women of the Faubourg Guillemery , of that town . One having been wounded in the arm , honour was declared to be satisfied , and the matter terminated . The waters of the Danube are so low between Lintz and Vienna that steam navigation is completely impeded , and for the moment suspended , to the great inconvenience of travellers and merchants .
The estimate of expenses and receipts for the new theatre at Madrid has been made out , and as the salaries of first-rate artists , particularly in operas and ballets , are exorbitant , and as , on the other hand , the house is rather small , a somewhat mortifying result has been found—namely , that the daily expenses being 37 , 000 reals ( £ 370 ) , and the receipts , even with a crowded house , not more than 35 , 000 ( £ 350 ) , a daily deficit of 2000 reals ( £ 20 ) will have to be provided for . The speculation is , therefore , not of the most profitable kind . the extent of the demand
Some idea may be formed of upon Mademoiselle Rachel ' s exertions when we state that she has been forced to appear at Berlin on the off nights of her engagement at Hamburgh , and that within a short period she has given twenty-two representations , divided between Hamburgh , Berlin , Madeburgh , Dresden , and Leipsic . She appeared in Hanover on the 10 th , at Bremen on the 11 th , and was to be at Vienna on the 18 th of this month , A destructive epidemic has made its appearance in Milwaukie , Wisconsin , causing 109 deaths in two days . It bears some resemblance to the cholera , but is supposed to be a species of malignant dysentery . It is confined , in a great measure , to the German population of the city .
_ _ __ _ .. „ . , ... „ . _ The bill for adjusting the Texan boundary was the first of those lately passed by the Senate which was taken up by the House of Representatives . A motion against its being read was lost by a vote of 168 to 34 . A motion was then made to comprise in one bill not only that of the Texan boundary , but also the two others providing territorial governments for New Mexico and Utah , which was negatived by a majority of 33 . The Boundary Bill was afterward taken up , and it is generally understood that it will pass . The advocates of a higher tariff continue in a minority
at Washington . A motion to " modify the present revenue laws , and to increase the duty on foreign articles which come into competition with American products , so as to give fair and reasonable protection , " & c , " making the duty specific wherever practicable , " was objected to , and an attempt to suspend the rules while the measure was discussed , was rejected by ^ a vote of 96 to 89 . In Congress the usual Appropriation Bill has been passed by the house , providing for the current items of national expenditure . The bill for the abolition of the slave trade in the district of Colombia , on the motion of Mr . Clay , was made the special order of the day in the Senate on the 2 nd instant . This was opposed by tho advocates of slavery , but they found themselves in a minority of twenty , and the measure was adopted .
The enterprizing fishermen of the northern states of America have been during the late hot weather supplying the citizens of New Orleans , by steamer , through New York , with fresh halibut , codfish , and straked bass . This is a new development of the American ice trade . A letter from President Roberts , of Liberia , speaks encouragingly of the efforts which have been made to grow cotton on that coast . He says there is no doubt but that cotton can be cultivated there extensively . The cotton is said to be of as good staple and texture as that of the United States .
The Electric Telegraph Gives The Substan...
The Electric Telegraph gives the substance of the news from India , which the Times puts in the following shape : — "The Ripon was to leave Alexandria fifteen hours after her departure . Senhor da Cunha , who so recently entered upon the Government of Macao , died of cholera on Saturday , the Gth of July , at 3 . 30 p . m ., aged fiftyyears , and was buried on the following evening in the Chapel of St . Paul ' s . A letter from Shahabad , dated the 16 th instant , states that the indigo prospects are good , having had heavy rains and a strong generous sun the latter part of June , which will enable them to commence manufacturing on the 1 st proximo . •« The same letter has the following paragraph : — ' Your readers may recollect a tragic affair that occurred here some three years ago , when the cousin of the head of the assistants
of the Bauleah concern was shot by one . That noted place has again been the theatre of a still more tragic scene . A few days since , Mr . S , accompanied by Mr . G , his assistant , and about two hundred men , went to settle with a village , but too well prepared to meet them . Mr . S > was in a palkee , which they smashed ; and they beat him most unmercifully , breaking one of his arms . He received a deep gash over the right temple , and many other contusions . Mr . d . Was knocked off his horse and similarly treated . They both passed in paikees in a most deplorable state , and I am sorry to add the latest news is that Mr . G is dead , and Mr . S ' s wound on the temple rather u » ly . This is an upshot of affairs not unexpected in this quarter : from the continual stretching of the rope it has broke . ' " On the 13 th of May last we published the depositions of Ensign F . Roome , of the Tenth Native Infantry ,
and Ensign John Carnegie , of the Twenty-eighth Native Infantry , who were murderously attacked at Penn by some frantic natives . We hear that the charge against these men has now been finally disposed of before the judge at Tanna . Twelve natives were found guilty , and the sentence of the court was imprisonment for one year and a fine of 100 rupees , failing the payment of which the men were to be imprisoned for another twelve months . The trial lasted several days , about a hundred Mahomedan la
witnesses having been examined . A w officer , and Dadabhoy , the Court Moonsif of Bnewndy , sat with the judges as assessors . It is only fair to Messrs . Roome and Carnegie to say , that it was proved on the trial that they behaved with great judgment after the attack was made , and that their assailants received not the slightest provocation to commit the assault , and , further , that the truth of every word of their depositions was satisfactorily proved by evidence . "
A Half-Yearly General Court Of Proprieto...
A half-yearly general Court of Proprietors of the Bank of England was held on Thursday , for the purpose of considering a dividend . Mr . Henry G . Prescott , the Governor , stated the profits for the last six months to be £ 535 , 342 , and the amount of the Rest £ 3 , 027 , 309 , proposed a dividend of 3 § per cent ., clear of income-tax . After some discussion this was agreed to by the meeting . According to the Globe " some of the leading artists of England , as well as many amateurs and admirers of the fine Jarts , consider that the forthcoming Exposition in Hyde-park would be a fitting opportunity of discussing the subject of costume . Artists , and all persons of true tastehave long complained of the inelegance and
incon-, gruity of English and other costumes . Painters and sculptors frequently have recourse to the costume of the ancients , in order to avoid the difficulties which that of the present time throws in their way when delineating the human figure . A declaration has been drawn up , embodying the above and many other collateral points , which has been numerously signed by some of our leading artists . They express a hope that some general European costume might be indicated by such a course . The Archaeological Institute propose to form a museum of ancient arts and manufactures , to be exhibited contemporaneously with the great modern Exhibition
year . The amount realized for the charity , at the Gloucester Musical Festival , during the four days' performances was £ 862 6 s . 6 d . Last year the entire sum was £ 83314 s . The operation of blasting an immense mass of cliff at Seaford came off on Thursday , in sight of several thousand spectators . The cliff is three hundred feet high , and the object sought by the engineers was to detach sufficient chalk to form a barrier for checking the drifting of the shingle towards Beachy Head and the East . The operation , which was under the immediate direction of Captain Frome , was perfectly successful ; about 300 , 000 tons of chalk falling on to the beach and far into the sea , forming an irregular heap three hundred feet broad , and varying from forty to a hundred feet in height .
. . . . .. The Preston Chronicle says there are about half a dozen mills in that town working beyond ten and a half hours daily , adults alone being employed after the completion of that time . The Preston Short Time Committee have memorialized the employers against the practice . The factory operatives of Preston have established a permanent committee to watch the operation of the new act . From an investigation of the affairs of the Poole Savings Bank it appears that the deficiency amounts to about £ 6000 , out of £ 36 , 000 . The misconduct of the actuary has been suffered to go on for fifteen years is said that the will
without detection . It depositors receive a dividend of about 16 s . 2 d . in the pound , including interest . An alarming explosion occurred at Cardiff on Friday night , on board the ship Gertrude of that port , arising from an accumulation of gas on board the vessel , the cargo being coals . The report alarmed the wholetown , and numbers hastened from their beds to ascertain the cause . The vessel was found a complete wreck , her mast and deck blown up , and cariicd a considerable distance . Fortunately , the majority of the crew were on shore , and the injuries sustained by those on board , though serious , are not considered dangerous . The explosion is attributed to smoking in the forecastle . account of the total
Letters from China give an destruction by fire of the Elizabeth , Indiaraan , on the 14 th of June , with a valuable cargo on board . It is supposed that the fire was wilful . The value of the ship and cargo was about £ 40 , 000 . Forty-six churches have been erected , and fifty clergymen added to the Roman Catholic mission in Scotland during the last ten years . Swarms of winged ants , as well as many without wings , appeared in Liskeard . and its neighbourhood on Monday . They were seen for miles around the town on the turnpike roads and the foot-paths through the fields , but they all disappeared before the next day . No sooner ib the harvest garnered than wo again hear of incendiary fires . Since our last publication no less than three cases of this nature have occurred in Cambridgeshire . About midnight on Saturday a fire broke
out on the farm premises of Mr . Bonnctt , of Comberton , and was not extinguished until property ( including barns , stabling , corn stacks ) to the amount of £ 1500 was destroyed . Thrc same night the farming premises of the Reverend T . Brercton , vicar of Steeple Morden , were burnt down ; and on Sunday night the premises of Mr . Bird , farmer , of Wrestling worth , were also destroyed . The body of a young lady , apparently about twenty years of age , was found in the Serpentine on Sunday morning . She was the daughter of a respectable merchant in Bristol , named Pigeon , and was on a visit to a cousin in Brompton-road . An affaire de coour is said to have been the cause of the rash act . At the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday , James
