      FRANCE . fffoi may he termed the private rehearsal of the piece -whi ch -will shortly have to be performed in palibc—*^ e . debate on the revision ot the constitution— cs » ne off on the 6 th iast . in the bureaux o f the Assembly with closed doore . It is probable that very nearly all that can he said for and against a measure which will he brought hefore the Assembly ahcrUy was said on that occasion . The result of the vciins , incomplete only in one instance , may guide us in forming an estimate of that on the debate which will soon tske place 5 a presence of the

      puliiic vrifnin the walls of the Chamber of Representatives , lu these fifteen sittings , all held at the sarns moment , the members of each party who spoke ernrcssed their , opinions without any more reserve than will perhaps he observed on a still more solemn occasion . Several of the Legitimists declared th ? . ! they souM not vote for the revision unl ess it ^ eis efc t ' -cd in the interest of the monarchical principle , A 3 understood by them ; and they no doubt savr : a foretaste of what they intend lo do

      again by celling tbe numbers of the adversaries of revision rj any kind . Soras amongst them also took their nair .-ion on the ground of divine right . The Mouniai :: sjaintwned the necessity of the repeal of the Jaw of the 31 st of May as tbe indispensable prelinsinar ; to my sort of revision . The President of the K ^; . ' uLJie was also ma ^ e the object Gf severe covavjens , and the speech at Dijon was especially allud *! to ' if the former Minister of the Republic—M . de Fsiloaz . He was warmly replied to by M . Lean Faacher .

      Th- ; repail of the 45 th article , which interdicts the re-eK-uoa of the President , was proposed , and 8 opK 0 rt * j fcj several membeia , particularly M .

The eleciou of the 15 th was adjourned to Saturday . Then ? £ ro nine of the commissioners returned in favour of she revision , with different views , viz , — 1 IU . MouUlembert , Monlia , Dufour , deTocqueville , Ben-eysr , ile Corcelles , de Broglie , de Melun , and Odik'B Bar rot . Pive of the commissioners are absolutely opposed to any revision , viz , —MM . Jules Pav « , as Mornay , Charras , Charaajaule , and

      General Cannae . The revisionists obtained only a mapr . i ? vi sixty votes . The presence of so maay Montagasr : ! members in the commission is calculated t ; . reader the dUcussion mote wrtent , and to delay their resolutions . The Red journals already sing victory .

      Or . TiMssoa ? last M . Leon Paacher presented in the Assembl y a bill for continuing to the government , until June 1852 , the faculty of suppressing Ctote . Marams from the Left made known the deaascratie i&jections to the bill . The minister read tbe statement of motives , and insisted upon the utcmity of not allowing those ueats oj agitation aad anarch y to be re-opened , unless they Misbetl to iiave to contend with an armed insurrection . { . Murmurs on the Left . ) He demanded

      urgency ior ine bill . The demand was opposed by M . Piorre Leroux , who said that by consenting , the Asseiahly would only merit anew the reproaches of the President by acceding with alacrity to the racaaures of repression proposed by his government , whik they retarded his projects of justice and relief towards tbe suffering classes . ( Various movement * . ) } A . Chaper said that he was present at the banquet of Dijon , and that M . Pierre Leroux had misquoted the words of the President . ( Fresh noise ) Urgency was adopted .

      -LiissrHiis administers , in the Pays , ' a dignified Mibnfee to the republicans for applauding the speech of Genera ! Changarnier , as if those representatives who haa confronted the real dangers of Ma ? 15 th and Jane 23 rd had need of the patronising assurance ef a military officer that they mi ght deliberate in petes . One must needs blush for the republican assembly that , in its anxiety to be reassured against \ m ? . % \ nzrj coups cFetat , could with

      enthusiasm calcu at the sort of order of the day which Closer ! a spsech fitter for a camp than a tribune . HnmHifetii ^ and deplorably puerile are these prostratiene before a military uniform , which denote an entire absence of the masculine virtues and severe dignity of men who honour military talent and courage in the field , but who respect in themselves the character of citizens and representatives . Such is the substance of this deserved reprimand .

      Tuesday . —The committee on revision met to-day to constitute itself . The Duke de Breglie was Chosen president , and M . Monlin secretary . A subcommittee , consisting of MM . Baze , Charras , de Melon , de Corcellea , and Dafour , was appointed to examine tbe petitions for revision . The committee of the budget adopted to-day a resolution which has been long threatened . It proposes the suppression of the grants to the Italian Opera , and to the Odeon Theatre . It has also decided on a reduction , of 300 , 000 fr . on the aid to refugee ! .

      M . Eugene Forcade , Editor of the Messager , aad distinguished by the virulence of his attacks trpon the Elysee , was tried today for an article attnbuting an order to the Minister of War for the matching of several regiments on Paris . He was condemned to three months * imprisonment and 500 fcancsfioe . Thegerant was acquitted . Wbdnesday . —The following proposition was yesterday laid on the bureaa of the assembly by m . Cr&on : — ' * « 1 . The Assembly expresses a wiih that , at the expiration of the Legislative Chamber , a Constituent Assembly shall be convoked in order to proceed to fiie total revision o £ the constitution of 1848

      2 . In expressing a wish for the total revision , the legislative Chamber understands that the powers of the AmmU f of nmsioa shall be unlimited , and that that Assembly shall definitively establish the Bases of the government and of the administration of the country . In consequence the National Constituent Assembly shall be ia the first place called on to decide between the republic and the monarchy . < b ? * . » f \ , V l P ttbUc bein S confirmed , the Assembly shall decide whether the Legislative Power * ball be : delegated to two Assemblies ; and wbe her the chief of the executive power shall not be dectea by the two Assemblies united . 4 . In the event of the monarchy being adopted , the Assembly shall drawup and u £ mri « ta X

      BUtational charter , the observance of which shall be sworn to by the Chief of the State on hia ascending the throne . The Assembly stall then proceed , in the plentito . de _ olf the powers which shall have been delegated to it by the French people , to point out Hie person who shall be invested with the moaarehical power to transmit it hereditarily .

      pathes . They endeavour to throw ridicule on the idea of a minorit y of small > & <• , obstructing vfhat they call the national policy of the fatherland . Hesse Cassel , though a small state itself , is foremost in fighting the battle of Austria . This , wader present circumstances , is easily accounted for ; if , however , the veto which the unanimity voting gives to tbe small stales were abolished , all these states would he obli ged to act as Hesse Cassel is acting now : that is , tiiey would be obliged to place themselves immediately underthe protectorship of a great power , —either of Austria or of Prussia .

      Tbe revival of the provincial and district diets simply by a government edict continues to be the engrossing subject of conversation in political circles at Berlin , and , as far as the new press law ( which is not far ) will safely permit , of public discussion . This reviral is said to be merely temporary and provisional ; that its expediency bas arisen ffora the fact that tbegemein de ordnung , which divides Prussir into parishes , and provides the sufficient local authorities , has not been carried into effect , and that the class and classified income tax absolutely requires some such authority as the provincial diets to he brought into operation .

      Supposing , however , all this to be true , why was not the temporary renovation of these diets submitted as a motion from the government to the Chambers whilst the Chambers were silting . The Chambers were compliant enough to the will of the cabinet , and had the measure been carried by them , it would have at least been so far constitutional . But its postponement till after the Chambers were prorogued , and then its realisation b y w'tue barely of a government edict , shows pretty cbarly both the spirit which diciated it , aud ' the purpose in view . Fresh instances of resistance to the new ordinances convoking the provincial diets occur daily , several of the Presidents having refused to take any part whatever in them . The Conservative press also has declared itself decidedly opposed to the measure as clearl y unconstitutional .

      M . de Westphal , Minister of the Interior , published , on the 15 th of May , a rescript , by which he restores the old system of representation by circles . This rescri pt makes some stir , but to comprehend its import it is necessary that one should understand the organisation of circles in Prussia , their position before and after the revolution of 1848 , and the changes which the rescri p t of May 15 th has introduced into them . The circles have almost as much territorial importance in Prussia as the sous-prefcetures in France . Each circle is governed by a landrath , and by the side of this functionary is placed a kind of representation of the inhabitants of that

      circumscription with a deliberative voice on some , and a decisive vote on other administrative local concerns . This representative council of the circle is especially consulted respecting the distribution , of the taxation . "Until 1 S ± 8 this representation of circles wag a feudal organisation ; it was composed of three orders—knights , burghers , and peasants . Such was the law that everywhere the kni ghts had the . majority , but the other two estates were subject to the 7 f in P arte * tna |; is to say , they could demand that each of the three estates should voteseparatelyJncase 3 where the interest of one or the other tf ^ Bbtly preponderated .

      Therevolufl ^ WliS seemed to have for ever destroyed a ! I ? fe | M | iganiaatinn in Germany . Still more , when the 'Masian government had recovered sufficient strength to octroy to tho nation such a constitution as seemed to it good , it yet thought itself compelled to declare in article 4 , "There shall no more be any privileged classes " After having octroyed a constitution , the government likewise octroyed a new organisation of circles and their representation , abolishing at the same time the old privilege of estates and establishing a representation of people and interests . It is thw new organisation that M . de Westphal has

      just aoonsnea anew before it has once been put into force . According to the rescript of the 15 th of May , the old estates of the circle are to be assembled provisionall y to regulate the new income tax ; but no one is deceived as to the meaning of the resuscitation of the old feudal body ; and if one would cherish an illusion on the subject , it would not be possible with the juLkers' cries of joysonadinginhia ears . In the re-establishment of the old estates of the circle , this party sees a oommencement made for the reinstatement of the provincial estates , and the abolition of the constitution , with its representation of the people and of interests * * "

      . This latter means of resistance by a minority of the burghers and peasants against the majority of kmjjbts exKfono longer , - for the ministerial rescript ordain 3 that to the sitting of the revived representation of circles shall be applied the 18 th article of the law octroyed June 3 rd , 1850 , which KU 0 W 8 nothing Of the regulation itio inpartei , and makes the decision turn upon the absolute majority . The minister goes still further . He has anticipated and provided for the possibility that the burghers and peasants may withdraw in a body from the estates of the circle ; in that case those present , be their numbers great or small , will have full power to determine all questions which may arise .

      DENMARK ; According to a leading article in the Augsburg ' Allgemeine Zeitung , ' Baron Pechlin ' s return from St . Petersburg , and Count Moltke ' s return from Paris , both unexpectedly , have caused it to be supposed that the plan of succession lately put forward by the Danish government , and according to which the young Prince of Glucksbarg , a child of seven years old , is to be proclaimed heir to the united monarch y , has met with no favourable reception from either the French or Roman cabinets . The return of Baron Pechlin was so little expected , that the Minister of Foreign Affairs , M . de Reedtz , had but just left Copenhagen , onhi 3 way to Warsaw , when he arrived .

      SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN . The Renaburg correspondent of the * Copenhagen Post ' says , that in the sitting of the conference on tbe 31 st ult ., the Holstein notables put in a protest against the organic project of law supported by tbe government ; the Danish and Schleswig notables replied by a counter protest ; and it was rumoured that in consequence the Holstein notables intended withdrawing from the conference .

      BELGIUM . The President of the Chamber of Representatives has addressed the following letter to the members of the Chamber : — ? Sir , and Honourable Colleagues , —The Cabinet has acquainted me that the modifications which ought to be introduced in the projects of law submitted and to be submitted to the legislature , do not permit him to resume immediately the works which

      made him desire that tha Convocation of-tbe Chamber of Representatives should be delayed for a certain time , Therefore , availing myself of the latitude left me by the Chamber at the time of its prorogation I deem it advisable to fix theopenine for June 23 rd . In consequence I have the honour of requesting your presence at the Palais de la Natien at two o ' clock on the 23 rd of this month The Mowing subjects have remained on the order of the day : ~ The law on petitions , tbe law on naturalisation , tbe budget of ways and means

      . Accept , Sir , and Honourable Colleagues , the assurance of my high esteem , 'The President of the Chamber op Representatives . '

      SPAIN . OathsUtiart . M . Bravo Murillo , President of the Council , accompanied by all his colleagues , communicated separately to . the Senate and Chamber of Deputies the Royal decree proclaiming the opening of the sessionof the Cortes for 1851 . The Chamber of Deputies proceeded , under the presidency of its senior member , M . Csrtazar , to elect its President . The number of votes was 199 ~ M . Mayans , the Ministerial candidate , obtained 165 votes ; M . Olozaga , the Oppesition candidate , 28 ; and M . Pacheco , candidate of the Puritans , 2 . Fonr blank tickets were found in the urn . The Moderate Opposition took no part in these preliminary operations . h

      « nm mat a deputation of three Portnfiuse ?? . ? , WVOlted prison of Elvas presented themselm to the Spanish Captain-Genera at Badajoz , requesting his co-operation to put down the government at Lisbon . The Captain-General applied to the government at Madrid for in . 8 tructionH . ¦ The reactionary movement at Elvas is confirmed by Badajoz letters , which mention likewise that it took place in consequence of Count Das Antas , the new commander in the Alemtejo province , a Septembrisas or ultra-Liberal , having sent two officers of bis own political creed to assume the command of tbe

      garnsan . It is said that the mutineers have forwarded a communication to Marshal Saldanha , to the effect that they had joined him for the purpose of overthrowing the Thomar Administration , but that it was never contemplated by them that the Septembristas should be called into office or active service . It is likewise said that the troops at Esetremoa had followed the example set by

      Untitled Article

      those at Elvas . Baron Rtzende , a former aide-decamp of the late Emperor Don Pedro , is supposed to head the insurrection . These letters also intimated that the movement of Slvas would probably be followed at Oporto , where the troops were placed under the command of Baron de Bomfin , who is little liked by the army . The « Espana ' observes , that although the fortifications of Elvas

      had suffere d considerably at the time of the retreat of the army of Massena , when part of them was blown up , yet the place is still the most important in Portugal , being stronger even than Badajoz , to which it is contiguous . All the forces the government of Lisbon can dispose of would not be sufficient to reduce it . The Espana ' adds that , shortly before the insurrection of Saldanha , a branch of tue Central Revolutionary Committee of London installed itself at Lisbon .

      PORTUGAL It appears by the last accounts from Portugal that the effervescene in the public mind at Oporto was such , that the French consul has demanded a ship of war to he sent theve for the protection of his flag and of the French residents in that city . In consequence , the French government has ordered the Narval steamer to proceed there forthwith . It is said that the majority of the Miguelite peers have refused to accept the conciliatory decree , restoring to them their privileges . Only four , it is asserted , will enter the House of Peers by virtue of Saldanha ' s decree .

      ROME . The ' Croce di Savoia , ' of Turin , quotes letters from Rome of the 2 nd , Btating that General Gemeau has insisted upon the removal from Rome of Colonels Resta , Freddi , Nardoni , and Allai , of the poiitificial service . This presentation has caused , it would- appear , great astonishment among the members of the Sacred College .

      ADVANCE OF THE AUSTRIANS INTO THE PAPAL STATES . Telegraphic advices from Rome of the 2 nd of June received via Vienna announce the advance of Austrian troops into the Papal province of Spoleto . The intelligence is official , being confirmed by the'Wiener Zeitung' of the 7 th inst ., which mentions the movement as in course of preparation .

      The 'Lithographirte . Correspondenz / also an official medium of publication , adds that the movement has taken place in conformity with a convention passed between the Austrian , French , and Papal governments . We cannot but receive this explanation with great suspicion . We do not hear of any diminution in the immense army which the King of Naples has assembled at Capua . Rome is exactly midway between Capua and Spoleto .

      THE IONIAN ISLANDS . SUSPENSION OF AM , MUNICIPAL LIBERTY AND

      LAW BY SIR HENRY WARD . Sir H . Ward , during the last few months , secure in the approbation of all his acts by the Colonialoffice , and fortified by the resolution of the House of Commons not to grant a commission of inquiry into the causes of tbe universal dissatisfaction prevalent amongst all classes , bas proceeded from one unconstitutional act , to another , until—losing all decency of reserve , and dispensing any longer with the vain mockery of pretending to rule the Ionians by the regulations of a constitutional authority—he has assumed every function of the state to himself , or the offices under his own immediate authority , and rules the Islands as despotically as if he were their Czar by birthright .

      The functions of the Legislative Assembly being abruptly suspended at his will , the Senate , chosen by himself , have power to issue ordinances , which until tbe meeting of the Assembly , have the force of laws . This privilege , originally Mended to be used only in exceptional cases of urgency , Sir Henry Ward now avails himself of it as an ordinary means of government , and directs the issue of ordinances one after the other which completely abrogate all the arrangements of the Ionian constitution . The judges he suspends , or shifts from island to island ( a

      removal equal to banishment ) at His pleasure ; the act of petitioning against his line of policy is set down as sedition so much so , that numerous persons of the first rank and wealth have been held to bail for petitioning ; and the notaries who attested the signatures or marks of the peasantry and others who wished to express their opinions although they could not write , have been suspended from the exercise of their functions ! A crowning act of tyrauny has just been put in force by one o / these government ordinances , which is most monstrous .

      The Constitution provides that if any of the municipal Councils exceeded their duties at any time , he may ,, with the consent of the Regent or Ionian officer appointed in each island by the Senate , and therefore by the Lord High Commissioner , who appoints tbe Senate suspend the members of the Municipal or District Councils from their functions . The Council may appeal to tho Assembl y ; but pending the appeal , which Sir Henry takes care shaU not come on by beeping the Assembly always in a state of prorogation , the suspension remains in force . The quibble on which Sir Henry Ward founds his measure ia aB follows : —He prorogues the Assembly ; his Residents , by his direction

      , suspend the Municipal Councils , who , ' by offering to petition in their individual character , have , as he says , exceeded their office ; and then Sir Henry Ward argues that because their appeal cannot be heard , as the Assembly is not sitting , therefore , that the business of the district may not remain in abeyance , the Munioipal Council must be regarded not as dismissed but surrogated : whereupon he causes an ordinance to be issued empowering the President to re-appoint other peraena of his own choice , m place of convoking the electors of the district to exercise their right to a new election . This last instance of the singular interpretation of the constitution by Sir Henry Ward has alarmed

      even me most tranquilly disposed , and has rouaed into remonstrance the most moderate portion of the liberal party , - from whom , indeed , in many instances Sir Henry Ward himself has not been un-2 lh ° , Tk ad ice < - A P ^ est , on this point , signed by the most eminent and influential men of the country and members of the Assembl y , has been forwarded to the Lord Hi gh Commissioner JElL " ^! Tery teiD P erately , but firmly , worded , and the names are those of the most emil nent , wise , and influential citizens in the countrymen such as in England would be considered the heads of all parties united in one common remonstrance against a manifest violation of theconstitlltiofl . '

      IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE .-THE KAFFIR WARThe screw steam ship Sir Robert Peel , arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday morning at about eight o clock , from the Cape of Good Hope , Which abe left May 2 nd , arriving at Sierra ' Leone May 19 th , and sailing May 20 th , St . Vincent on May 26 th , and sailing again the same day . It has brought home several passengers from the Cape and Sierra Leooe , and a miscellaneous cargo , including 6 ome more beautiful animals for the collection of the Earl of Derby . . The following is from the monthly summary of operations on the frontier given in the Cape papers : — ' Our last summary reported the Commander-ill-Chief to he on hia return to King William ' s Town , from an expedition in person to Fort Hare ,

      —accompanied by Colonel Mackinhon and the second division , ~ which had been undertaken for the purpose of intercepting the Kaffirs moving on Fort Hare This expedition consisted of aperies of movements from the 18 th to the 20 th of March , amongst which was the repulse of the enemy , ? about 2 , 000 stron on the 19 * , « tf their flight into Amatola niounl tains , mentioned in our last summary ; Oh the 15 th instant , Colonel Mackinnon , with 2 , 500 men In ciuding 100 C . M . R ., left King William ' s Town or a patrol of six days ; On the 16 th , he divided his force into two columns ; the left commanded bv Colonel Eyre , 73 rd , taking the left . bank of the Qoibegha . River ; the rightunder Colonel Mac

      , - kinnon's command , taking the right . batik of that river . Captain Robertson having been sent forward with a portion of Armstrong ' s horse to reconnoitre a skirmish ensued , in which Ensign and Adjutant Fletcher , of the 73 rd , fell ; and Captain Morris of the levies , was severely wounded . The columns were several timos attacked , but the enemy ' was always repulsed with considerable loss . At five p . m ., Lieut . ColonerEyre joined the right wine ' bringing with him 145 head of cattle . The loss during the day amounted , on our- side , to one

      officer , one sergeant , and four rank and file . The estimated loss of the enemy is put down at ISO men . On the 17 th the patrol returned to Fort White . On the 18 th a supply of slaughter cattle was thrown into Fort Cox , and the troops be « an their return march , but met with no opposition They reached King William ' s Town on the 19 th In his official report Colonel Mackin » on speaks highly of the conduct of the Cape Mounted Rifles , who have fully justified the confidence placed in them . To complete the account of this expedition we resume with the 21 st of March , when the

      second division , commanded by Colonel Maciunnou , marched with his Excellency at daylight on Fort Cox , and thence to Fort White . A detachment having been sent on to scatter some stragglers , the enemy showed in great force , smd a general engagement commenced . In this affair the Governor mentions with much praise the conduct nf the mounted levies , who dismounted and gallantly attacked the Kaffirs on foot . The enemy ' s flauk was turned by an eminence being gained by she 73 rd and a detachment of the 6 th . Up to this point thirty .

      seven Kaffirs had fallen , and several s tand of arms had been taken . The enemy was pursued into the bush by the men forming Colonel MacUnnon ' s division and were totally routed . The troops reached Fort White two hours after dark . A day ' s rest being required for the men , no movement was made till the 23 rd , when , at three o ' clock in the morning , they moved towards Fort Wiltshire ; 1 , 000 head of cattle were captured on the banks oftheKeiskamma ; four men were killed and six wounded on our side .

      On the 28 th of March , on the north-eastern frontier , there was a successful engagement with the Chief Morosi . No casualty occurred on our aide , and the enemy left 200 dead on the field . From the Tambookie country an account has also been received of a victory gained by Captain Tylden , Royal Engineers , in which the enemy 4 , 000 strong , was put to flight , leaving 300 dead on the field . The following was published at Cape Town on the day when the Sir Robert Peel left;—' The Frontier post arrived in Cape Town , at one p . m . yesterday ,. bringing the latest intelligence from the seat of war . Our advices from King William ' s Town are so late a 9 the 23 rd , and from Graham ' s Town the 26 th nit .

      Communications from Butterworth had been received at head-quarters on the evening of the 23 rd , showing that the Chief Kreili had committed himself with the war party—and had been personally engaged in conflict . Attothet palto \ of eight bundred men had been ordered out , for the purpose of following up the late successes against the enemy . The remaining remount horses from Cape Town « had arrived safely , and were being distributed . The disarmed Cape Mounted Rifles were being re-armed and equipped ; the corps would amount to 260 men , which with 150 of Armstrong ' s horse , would enable the Governor to dispatch a strong force across the Kei—against Kreili if necessary .

      Tone continued to Bend useful information , and reported that Mr . Gilfillan ' s commando ( Civil Comr aiBioner Cradock ) had marched from'Shilohon the White Kei , and severely handled Mapassa ' s Tarnbookies and some of Kreili ' s people , and were proceeding to sweep off tbeir cattle . By reports from all quarters the Kaffirs were becoming heartily tired of the war . They would not be allowed to rest in the low countries , * and , being driven to the Amatola Mountains , they would experience much suffering from the cold .

      Information had been received through one of Kreili ' s great councillors , that the Gaikas cannot holdout much longer-tbat thirty of their great men had fallen , and that they could not count their inferior , victims—^ tbat they are coming in—one man with four or five women , and two or three head of cattle , &c ; The Gaikas were iu perpetual alarm , driving their cattle hither and thither , to the great injury of the milch cattle and calves .

      A correspondent , whose information has hitherto proved to be well founded , states that he had received intelligence that Kreili had endeavoured to oppose the Burghers and other forces at the Imvani , and bad been completely routed with considerable loss , having narrowly escaped with hia own life . He had retired to the 'Great Place , ' and had called on the Fingoes in his country to join him ; but without effect .

      Kreili , after , his defeat at the Imvani , had been coquetting with the Missionary Station at Butterworth—desiring them to remain there in safety , &c , probably with a view to making out a case in his own defence , should matters continue to go against him , Mr . Renton , a minister of the Scottish Secession Church , who had been deputed to visit and inspect the missions of that church in South Africa , had been very illreceived upon his arrival at Graham ' s Town . The following particulars are related in the ' Cape Town Mail , ' which had been received from their correspoudeat at Graham ' s Town , dated the

      8 th of April : ' On Saturday evening , . a scene of no very creditable character occurred in this town . It was kn « wn that the Rev . Mr . Renton was in town , and that he and Mrs . Renton had taken up their quarters at an Hotel , in Bathurst-street . As soon as it was dusk , a crowd assembled , and having constructed a rude transparency , showing the inscription , ' Extermination of the Rebels , ' and also made up a figure to personate the reverend gentleman , they paraded the streets with them for several hours and eventually remained in front of the hotel , where they proceeded to burn the effigy , and also several tar . barrels . Had it not been for the interference of

      some of the respectable inhabitants , it is to be feared much mischief would have been done . At this period of the evening some two or three atones were thrown , which broke as many panes of glass in the windows . Previously to the assembling in front of the hotel , the mob had visited the house of Mr . Tudhope , having been informed that Mr . Renton was there , and had broken several panes of glass and one of the panels of his front door . After leaving M'Kenzie ' s hotel they went to the Rev . Mr . Smit ' s , but there did no damage . About twelve o ' clock , the crowd dispersed , and quietness for a time trigmed in the streets ; but about two o ' clock ,

      on Sunday morning , a number of persons again assembled , and demolished about twenty-five or thirty panes of glass in Mr . M'Kenzie ' s house , by throwing stones through the windows , which also did considerable damage to the property within . The Btate of popular feeling runs very high against the misflionaries said to be at all concerned in the events which have taken place at the Kat River , and of this the above may be considered as an index ; On Monday the authorities were employed in investigating the affair , and many depositions were taken , but we cannot learn that any measures were adopted to prevent a recurrence of the disgraceful scene . '

      UNITED STATES . The cholera has broken out in the west , and some deaths have occurred . No apprehension is enter tained of its becoming general . It is a very ! singular fact , which has only come to light within a few days past , that the large slaveholders in South Carolina are almost without exception opposed to secession . The noise and clamour have been made by men scarcely owning any slaves at all . I must confess I was much astonished , at learning this fact , but I draw from it the conclusion that the movement , in that state is not one of the property holders , but of the demagocues .

      It is stated that there had been a great riot at Hoboken , opposite the city of New York—a favourite place of resort in the summer . The Germans , ; it is said , were there in great numbers , celebrating one of their fatherland holidays .

It happened that the next train brought the Prince of Prussia , who was on his return ( vora England .

The prince immediately invited him to take a seat in his train ; an offer , of course thank * fully accepted .

A duel took place on Saturday morning last at Versailles between the Prince de Canino and M . Rossi , the son of Baron Rossi , who was assassinated at Rome . The duel was caused by M . Rossi having lain in wait for the Prince , whom he struck in the face .

This arrest has produced a very salutary effect on the Arab population , and takes from them any idea of again disturbing the country . Youasouf Bey was the intimate friend of Abdullah Bey , who played such an importantpart during the disturbances , and it was thought his immense riches would shield him from any proceedings . The imperial government , however , appears to be determined that , without distinction of rank in future , every one found guilty of being concerned in that insurrection shall meet with the punishment which he merits .
