Judge Terry is still kept prisoner by the committee-Hopkins , tlie man he stabbed , has recovered- One of the persons executed was a man named Braes , tfIio committed a murder upwards of a year before . Several attempts have been made to destroy both San Francisco and Sacramento by fire . The citizens of St . Paul , Minesota , have held a meeting , and formed a committee , charged -with the extirpation of all lad characters from the town . It is stated in advicesfrom Nicaragua of the 9 th ult . that matters looked ill for Walker . A body of Salvadorian and Gxiatemalian troops , headed by Cabanano , were posted at Leon . There were many desertions from Walker ' s army—in one case a "whole company . Walker has revoked the exequatur of the English consul at Leon . Another revolution has been put down in Costa Rica .
From Vcra Cruz -we learn that the Ministerial crisis passed without any resignations in the Cabinet , although some -were tendered . The new Constitution was under discussion , and the liberal articles were in favour . There was an animated debate on the clause respecting religious toleration . The Cabinet opposed the measure as useless , bat the puros adopted it . Congress , liowever , sanctioned the 15 th article of the new Constitution , establishing religious toleration . The yellow fever is raging with , great violence , and the Indians have committed fearful ravages on the northern frontiers . Santa Fe * has been tlie scene of a revolution . " If the
news that has just reached us be correct , " says a correspondent of the Times , " the province of Santa F 6 * is already in a state of confusion—General Lopez recognized as Provisional Governor in the capital ; General Echaque proclaimed Governor in one of the departments ; and a considerable party decided to stand by tlie constitution and insist on the reinstallatioa of Governor Cullen . " Prom the same paper we learn , that at Pernambuco the investigation of the Geriuliern affair (* . « ., of landing slaves there in October last year ) still occupies the attention of the authorities , and on account
of further disclosures they have dismissed the naval chief of the Pernambuco station , I . E . Wanderholk , from his post , and have imprisoned Colonel V " ascohcellos Drummond , preparatory to putting him on liis trial for supposed complicity in the abstraction of the missing slaves . This last step led to an unpleasant correspondence between the English Consul and the President of the province ( late Brazilian Minister in London ) , as Colonel Drummond had , through Mr . Cowper , the consul , received the thanks of the British Government for his conduct in this affair .
Money continues plentiful , and in good demand at New York . Bread stuffs are firm , and still tending upwards .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ FRANCE . ' ¦¦ ¦' . - . ' ' Count TValewski has just received from Queen Victoria , as a souvenir of the Treaty of the 30 th ttf March , a splendid gold snuff-box enriched with diamonds , and bearing a medallion representing tie portrait of her Majesty . M . de Billing , chef du cabinet , has also received a very handsome writing-desk , and M . Benedetti an equally handsome token of remembrance . M . Cliristian Bartholomes , to "whom , only on Thursday week , the French Academy awarded a first prize of 3000 francs for his " Histoire des Doctrines Eeligieuses de la Philosophic Moderne , " has just died suddenly at Nuremberg , on his return from the Carlsbad waters . Prince Napoleon reached Stockholm on the 8 th inat ., on his return from his northern expedition , which is abaridonedfor this yearon account of bad weather .
, A paragraph , evidently communicated , appears in the Government evening journals , to 1 he effect that a morning paper is mistaken in stating that Count Walewski , the Minister for Foreign Affairs , is temporarily abeent from Paiis . The announcement complained of was made to account for the fact thai Marshal Serrano , the Spanish Ambassador , had not been able to meet with him . It remains uncontradicted that M . Serrano did desire to see the Foreign Minister with all speed , and that , not succeeding in obtaining an audience with him , ' he suddenly determined to retrace his steps to Biarritz , to confer with the Emperor personally . It is to be inferred that his business is very pressing . —Daily News Paris Correspondent . \
Hie Emperor and Empress temporarily quitted Biarritz on Friday week , and , accompanied by a few attendant ? , visited the valley of Cambo , situated at the entrance of the Pyrenees . They were caught in a heavy shower of rain -while on their way to the Pas de Roland , a spot celebrated in poetry and romance ; but they had time to enjoy the scenery , and even to partake of a repast in the open air . They returned in the evening to Biarritz . Princess Lieven has arrived in Paris . Marshal Pelissier , -who had promised to be present at ikejete of Saumur , arrived in that town on Friday week ,, and , after joining in the celebration , left on Sunday for Paris . On the following day he-was present at a funeral service , performed in the Church of the Madeline , in , commemoration of the officers of the staff -who died ia the East .

The share and obligation holders have the power of depositing their stock Avith the company for . security , arid access has been gained to the property thus lodged , which has been made away with on the Bourse to the extent stated . Several other persons are said to be implicated in the robberj ' , one of whom has already been arrested , and there can be little doubt that the . two principal delinquents , even if they have succeeded in getting away to America or elsewhere , will still "be captured .
An Italian , named Luigi ( jucrzola , who recently left Sardinia , for London , via France , nas made tlie following statement of the treatment he v « s subjected to after he had landed in Franco : —" On the 10 th of March a posse of police-agents dragged rne out of my room , autl I was locked up in a hideous dungeon . Hero 1 was kept till the 10 th of May . They took away my money and clothes . During these two months no kind of legal proceeding .- - , even for form ' s sake , took place , not th « slightest question asked to enlighten me as to the cause of my detention , and I began to give myself up for lost , when I was suddenly told I -was about to start for England . They then handcuffed me , put . a chain round
my neclc , and handed me over "to the ' Correspondence . ' * My travelling companions were Enrico 1 ' odrani , from Homo ; Domenico di Dominkis , a Koinan also ; and another named Jean llaptlstedc Negro , a man advanced in years , who for thirty years had lived constantly at Marseilles , a man who had a Frenchwoman for hia wife , and by -whom ho had several children , " They were afterwards landed penniless at l > over , whence they had to struggle how they could up to London , where they had friends . Several others hnvo been subjected to tlxo same treatment ; indeed , it seems to bo part of a system which lias existed for the last three years , and which is still in active operation . Notliing can exceed the infamy of this execrable piece of despotism . AvsrniJi . According to recent statistical accounts , it appears that th « number of . lews now serving in the Austrian army umounta to 12 , 000 . Among this number there

advances to that unfortunate concern by the Bank of Ireland , and it is added that the effects of an extensive farmer residing near Ballyellen were seized under execution for 700 ? . due to the bank . It appears that the farmer was security for a trader in the town , and of course is held responsible for the amount . " With respect to the whereabouts of James Sadleir , the Carlow paper says that the police are on the wrong scent , and that there is every reason to believe that the fugiti-ve is now far on his way to South America , " where there appears to be little doubt that he will be afforded the opportunity of embracing- his brother John . " With regard to this latter prospect , it may be mentioned , as an instance of that second-sight said to be the peculiar property of our northern fellow-subjects , that a respectable professional man , " recently returned to Dublin from New Orleans , is ready to aver on oath , if called upon , that during iris residence at the latter place he had seen Jobn Sadleir bodily striding through the streets of New Orleans . — Times .

A COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE OF DxJTT . — The Maynooth question -was aired at a meeting of the Belfast Protestant Association on the 2 nd insf . The proceedings were opened by the Rev . Dr . Dre-w reading the 25 th chapter of Isaiah , which was followed by all present kneeling in prayer . A resolution was then passed , to the effect that no compact whatever exists between Government and the supporters of Maynooth , and that the association learnt with regret that any doubt existed in the minds of Protestants as to the position in which Maynooth stands to the empire at large and to Protestants in particular . A letter from Mr . Spooner
was read , intimating that gentleman ' s intenticn to make a fresh attack on " the idolatrous college" next session , should his life be spared , and expressing his conviction that the institution is " doomed . " The local paper thu 3 reports the conclusion of the proceedings : —" With heart 3 ' and -well-tuned voices ,, . the members joined in the Doxology , the President repeated the apostolic benediction , and all retired , happy in thus fulfilling- their duty to the monarch , to religion , to the Bible , and the Sovereign Kuler of all men . " This is certainly very comprehensive , and must have sent the gentle bigots home to their beds in a state of benign self-satisfaction .
The Harvest . —The greater part of the crops has now been gathered in ; and the CorJc Examine ? expresses its belief that throughout the country the produce from wheat will realize more than the average . JBarley -will also be very productive . The Dublin Crimean Banquet . —The contemplated banquet to the Crimean soldiers has created the greatest enthusiasm , and there seems to be every prospect of a brilliant success . A meeting was held in tlie Mansion House on Monday to arrange the necessary preparations . The Lord Mayor presided , and among the speakers were
Lord Gough , Lord Talbot de Malahide , the High Sheriff of the county , Mr . Butt , Q . C ., Mr . William Dargan , &c . The Lord-Lieutenant sent a subscription of 50 / . ; and communications from a great many noblemen , Members of Parliament , and others , were acknowledged . Lord Gough mentioned that Marshal Pelissier had just addressed to Mm a letter , stating that he proposed to fulfil a promise he had made of visiting him in Ireland . It was suggested that he should be invited to the dinner . The entertainment will not be limited to soldiers who are natives of Ireland , but will include all English and Scotch soldiers at present serving in the countn \
The Education Qukstion . —The Committee of the Church Education Society of Ireland have put forth a long circular and appeal in reference to the present position and prospects of the association ; and in this they reiterate tlie old arguments of their party ngainst thes national system of education . . The Irish Census for 1851 . —The Census Commission of 1861 has just completed its task , and the sixth part and tenth volume of the series of publications , which began with the record of the population , presented to the Lord-Lieutenant in 1851 and 1852 , lias been laid before the Earl of Carlisle . The Evening Packet supplies an abstract of the contents of the general report , in which -we read : — " In reference to the famine and emigration of 18-15 and tho following disastrous years , tlie commissioners set down the total decrease of our rural population from that double cause at l !) 65 per cent , or exactly at l , G 22 , 7 li 9 ; but of course this enormous
IRELAND . ; The Kinqoton Estates . —With reference to the Kingston estates in Cork , -which mysteriously passed into the hands of John Sadleir , the Cork Examiner states that , " the Earl of Kingston , accompanied by his solicitor , Mr . J . M . Cantwell , Dublin , and Mr . Power , an English capitalist , arrived at the Kingston Arms Hotel , Mitchelstown , on the 2 nd inst ., and proceeded on the following day to visit the castle and demesne , which are situate about a quarter of a . mile from tlie town - We have heard that the object of his lordship ' s visit is to collect all possible information relative to the management of his estates during the long period of his absence , with a view of sustaining the suit at present pending in Chancery , - which is expected to come to an issue in November , The present trustee and mortgagee , both of castle and estate , is Mr . Thomas Joseph Eyre , of Bath . Mr . James
Sadleir , aa manager of the Tipperary Bank , originally held a mortgage on the castle and demesne , but on a recent application made by Lord Kingston before the Master of tho Rolls , to have further security given for tho receiver , Mr . Nicholas Sadloir tho official manager of the bank , consented to have Mr . Eyre , the then mortgagee of the estate alone , declared tho mortgagee in possession of all . Mr . Eyre ' s claims on foot of his mortgage , and for advances , are 100 , 000 ? ., which amount ifi disputed by Lord Kingston , who claims several sctsoff , which , if admitted , will reduce it very considerably . It is understood that in November a motion is to be made in Chancery , on Lord Kingston ' s behalf , to have all tho accounts of the estate taken up to the Master , and that when hia decision is known , and tho entire amount of the chnrgCB fully made out , Lord Kingston will negotiate to have them all discharged . The present annual rental of tho Mtchelstown estate is nboiit

Taking tho English registration as their basis , tbe Irish commission reach the conclusion that the total loss of population from 1841 to 1851 -was not less than 2 , 4 GG , 414 ! A curious feature of this ' gencml report' has r egard to house accommodation . It appears that in 1851 there was a netdecrenseof 271 , 000 houses below 18-11 . " When we examine the tables minutely , we perceive that thin decline occurred in the dwcllingHof' one room '—classed the fourth—tlie mud cabins of a few quarters in each province ; while thcro was an increase in buildings of tlto better class , notwithstanding tlie pressure of 1 lie times . But , in some civic districts , a largo number of tlie meaner huts were thrown down , as in Kilkenniiy city , wore 613 out of a total of 090 -were levolled within tho decade .
