The remains of General Walker ' s force have also arrived at New York : they are described as a broken-down set of men , several of whom were at once handed over to the city doctors for treatment . The defalcations in Ohio turn out to be even larger than was at first anticipated ; and it is believed that the state has no adequate security .

The quarrel between the metropolitan municipal police force still continued at the last dates ; but the belligerents have united their forces for the sake of cleaning the streets—a work greatly needed .

There is a report of a defalcation to the amount of 50 , 000 dollars in the Mint Department of California .

The New York and Philadelphia Chambers of Commerce have resolved to abandon the system of giving advance wages to seamen .
The United States troops and the Mexican garrison of Chihuahua , at the last dates , were about to co-operate against the Indians , who were very troublesome . The ship William Willett , from Liverpool to New York , has gone ashore on the Jersey coast , and will be a total loss . All on board were saved . At New York on the 29 th ult ., the Bank statement showed a decline of nearly two millions in specie , of one hundred and four thousand dollars in loans , and in deposit of more than a million and a half of dollars .. In the stock-market there was ho strength whatever . : S »

A MURDER BY A LUNATIC . . The ward-master at St . Martin ' s Workhouse has beerf murdered by a luifSHc . On the mornihS of Friday week , the chief master received . an order from the relievi ng officer for the admission of a young man of twenty , named Payne . He sent him to the receiving ward , and while there , he was brought under the notice of Mr . Bain bridge , the medical officer , whose questions he appeared to answer quite rationally . Being sent to the labour-master for employment , he presently returned to the ward and said that he was unable to do any work , as he had a pain in his back , and that he did not wish to remain in the workhouse . He also talked about meeting certain persons in the street , who accused him of committing crimes of which he was ^ entirely innocent . As . the medical officer of the workhouse concluded that
the man was of unsound mind , and as he was somewhat violent , a strait jacket was put on to him , and he was sent to tho ward of which Mr . Kmerson was master . One of the inmates of the workhouse was ordered to stop with Payne the whole night , as the latter was very much excited . At eleven o ' clock , Mr . Emerson , the ward master , went to bed , and Payne retired to rest shortly afterwards , his jacket being loosened and tied to the bedpost before he lay down . About six o ' clock the following morning , some water was given to him by Mr . Emerson ' s direction , and , in order that he might drink it comfortably , his jacket was untied from the post and loosened still further .

CONTINENTAL DOTESFRANCE . Thb condition of affairs in Franco at tho present time is of a very grave character . Tho conspiracy which has just boon discovered would soom to liavo been connected with tho Italian insurrections . Tho plan was to stab tho Emporor with poisoned daggers during tho elections . The members of a Provisional Government nro said to have been named , and to have intended , when the blow vrna struck , to proclaim the Republic over tho whole of Southern Europe . The Imporial Government booamo Aware of the plot , on the 10 th of June , and thav at once gave information to tho Sardinian Cabinet . A largo mass of correspondence botwoon Paris and London is in tho hands of the French Mlniators ; and this will bo pr oduced at th « trial of tho arrested persons ., which will
take place at the next assizes . About twenty men have been apprehended . A notice has been addressed by the directors of the Assemble e Nationale to the subscribers to that journal , in which we read : —" The publication of the AssembUe Nationale Iibb been suspended for two months by Ministerial ordinance of the 7 th July . Founded the day after the catastrophe of 1848 for the defence of order and of society , the Assemble Nationale believes that it may take credit for never having failed in the performance of the task it imposed on itself . It has had , nevertheless , to endure extreme severity from the various Governments which have succeeded each other for the last ten years . Suspended by the Government of the Republic denounced the events of
for having too soon foreseen and June , it was also punished , first on the 2 nd of December , 1851 , and twice since the establishment of the Empire . Other journals have been warned , the Assemblee alone has seen the new regulations which govern the press applied to it in all their rigour . Supported by the constant sympathy of many , the Assemblee Nationale has been enabled to pass through these repeated trials ; The majority of its subscribers have remained faithful to it . We feel confident that we shall experience the same fidelity during the difficult circumstances through which we are now passing . The work which we are engaged in accomplishing , ha the limited measure of our power , appears necessary to us , and it is because this conviction is profoundlv engraved on our hearts that we persist ,
notwithstanding the difficulties of our position . We have the pretension to hold an important place in the press and in public opinion . We believe we respond to the true monarchical and liberal feeling in France by thus keeping aloof from all identity and all contact with revolutionary ideas and principles . While clearly marking out our line we are conscious of never having made a factious opposition . During the various crises which France has passed through since the Revolution of February we have never , through party motives , accepted an alliance with the men or the principles which the Assemblee Nationale on' the day of its foundation devoted itself to oppose . The elections which have just taken place are a proof of it . We shall prosecute our work to the end . "
A memorial in favour of the proposed canal across the Isthmus of Suez was some time since presented to the French Government . Tlje answer returned was , that , notwithstanding the interest " attached to this affair , the Government did not consider it expedient to occupy itself with it for the present . A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels says : — " After the visit of the Emperor and Empress to Osborne , Queen Victoria , we are- assured , will pass a fortnight at Compiegne . Her Majesty ' s visit will not , however , have any official character , and she will not come to Paris . " The Leader , Express , Sun , Saturday . Review , Sunday Times , and Era , were seized at Paris on Sunday .

The division of General M'JVIahon had placed itself in communication with tho division of General Maissiat , who , by orders of tho Marshal , attacked the Kabyles by the Col of Chellata , to the east . General Maissiat experienced an obstinate resistance , but all the positions of the Kabyles were finally carried after several -well-contested fights . It is stated as positive that Marshal Randon will conclude his campaign in Kabylia by an expedition against tho pirates of tho Riff . Cruisers have already been stationed on the coast . The Government papers have received notice to suspend their discussion on the question of the Isthmus of Suez and Lord Palmers ton ' s speech on that subject .

" The following , " says the Giglio , of Leghorn , " is the exact number of victims : —Fourteeu citizens killed and seven wounded ; three soldiers killed and seven Wounded ; two officers wounded , including M . Bracci , the son of the commandant . It is stated that at Pisa and Florence tranquillity was not disturbed , owing to the arrest of a man who , from a certain eminepce , was to have made signals announcing the commencement of the disturbance at Leghorn . All the stilettoes found are of the same manufacture . Much mouey had been distributed among the people . We owe our safety to the Consul of France , who had long before informed our authorities of what was going on . "
Mazzini is stated to have left Italy on the night of July 2 nd , on board a vessel bearing the American flag . He has arrived in London .
