511114.-It has now been established beyond question, that on the 27th of May, Garibaldi stormed the town of Palermo, and that on the 28th he attacked the Castle.

The narrative of the campaign from Marsala to Palermo is yet very incomplete ; but we know now that all the " official " telegrams from Naples were false. As soon as news of Garibaldi's landing reached Pa- lermo, Marshal Landi was thrown forward to Calatafimi, a place that commands the lino of march from Marsala to Palermo. Garibaldi marched upon Salemi the day after he landed. The Sicilian insurgents at once rallied to his standard, and on the 14th attacked Landi at Cala- tafuni. The Neapolitan general was evidently quite as much frightened as hurt. He yielded to the onset of the Garibaldini, lost a gun, wrote a despatch to Palermo, calling for " help, prompt help !" and did good ser- vice by magnifying the numbers and celebrating the obstinate fighting qualities of his foes to cover his defeat. Yet he boasted that he had killed Garibaldi and captured a colour. From Calatafimi he fled preci- pitately to Alcamo, and being hotly pursued, hurried the remnants of his column into Palermo. Nevertheless, the royalists showed light at Par- tenico, but were again beaten, and the partizan corps coming in on every side, the flying columns of Neapolitans were dreadfully cut up in their retreat. A gallant Sicilian, of noble race, and nobler courage, thus wrote, the day before he met a soldier's death on the battlefield :— " Tomorrow evening I march at the bead of a thousand men to Partinico,

where I am to join the forces of Garibaldi, pursuant to the orders I have received today by an express messenger. Yesterday a column of five thousand Neapolitan Croats was beaten at Calatafinii. They were attacked by Garibaldi's column, and could not sustain the charge of our men, who, after two vollics, attacked them at the point of the bayonet. At Partinico the squadrons thrashed the royal troops, and the principal road was strewed with bodies of soldiers slain as they were running away. The cavalry was also beaten, and the force that remained, to the number of 1.500, having reached Montelepre, there fell into an ambuscade prepared for them by the inhabitants:, and many saddles were empty. The Baron Sant' Anna and the Marquis Feracatura with their bauds have greatly harassed the head of the column retreating to Palermo. I have raised Carini again in complete revolution, and have established there an insurrectional committee. The tricoloured fia.g waves on every steeple. Our cause is proceeding pros-

perously, and in a few days we shall be in Palermo. ROSOLINO.

Garibaldi had on the 16th thus written to Rosolino Pilo from Ciliate- find

" Yesterday, we fought and won. The enemy is Hying towards Palermo. The population are in high spirits, and join my camp by thousands. To- morrow, I shall march on Alcamo. Tell the Sicilians that the hour is come to put an end to their slavery, and that we shall do it soon. Every arm is good for the brave : musket, scythe, hatchet, a nail at the top of a stick. Unite with me. Thwart the enemy's plans as much as possible—light bon- fires upon all the heights which surround the Neapolitan troops. During the night, kill as many of the enemy's outpost sentries as you can. Intercept the communications : in a word, harass the enemy as much as you are able. I hope to see you soon. "Yours,

The march to the heights around Palermo was a succession of com- bats. Garibaldi's force augmenting every day, spread out to the right and left of Monreale, and distracted the attention of the enemy. In Palermo itself, there was great fear on the side of the enemy. Gates were walled up, valuables embarked, and emigration of obnoxious per- sons ; the police had disappeared by the 25th; the ships of war were brought up to command certain portions of the town, and the defensible places, within and without, were occupied. Lanza's force 'was estimated at 20,000 men and forty guns. On the 24th, an action was fought on the heights about Farce and San Martino, and curious observers, on board ship, watched with interest the progress of the battle, marked by the wavering line of smoke which gradually came down the mountain- side. At night, the hills were ablaze with watch-fires, All this tune, the Neapolitan Government sent forth lying telegrams, marked official. At length, on the 27th, Garibaldi closed with his enemies. The follow- ing telegrams continue the story :—

• Turin, May 29. The Official Gazette of today publishes a despatch from Naples announcing the arrival of an English steamer at that place, which brings the following news The insurgents have entered Palermo. A considerable part of the population have risen against the royal troops. The city is bombarded by sea and land. The bombardment commenced on Sunday morning, and it appeared that the firing continued at the time of the steamer's departure.'" "Naples, if Morning, 9.30. The bombardment of Palermo lasted several hours. Garibaldi entered the town on the 27th. The be- sieging forces were not numerous, but being commanded by the heroic leader in person, the victory was obtained. The headquarters of Garibaldi are in the centre of the town. The number of killed is large."

"Naples, Hay 29. Great agitation prevails 'at Court and in the Minis- try. After a Cabinet Council the Ministers tendered their resignation. It is rumoured that a Liberal Ministry will be formed." "Naples, May 30.—Garibaldi entered Palermo on the 27th. He is master of the greater part of the town. The troops were concentrated in the Castle. A bombardment immediately commenced. Fires broke out in several parts of the town. Garibaldi attacked the Castle at noon of the 28th of May.' May 30.—The Government is deliberating as to the art bility of sending orders to Palermo to stop the bombardment—From Honiteur. mo"hTauvrie.nbeeMn aryee3eilv.—edTfrohemfoallreowliainbgledsoeturailsceo.f At at ritbuldoi:esioactktaLik tohne tamer:

ing of the 27th instant, Garibaldi attacked Palermo on the south side. A desperate combat ensued, and .lasted six hours. The people made them- selves masters of all parts of the town south of the Strada di Toledo. A terrible bombardment was opened by sea and land, notwithstanding which the people continued to fight. The troops retired within the Royal Palace, the Custom House, and the Castle, and hostilities were suspended from ten until twelve o'clock, when the struggle recommenced with greater despera- tion. The Royal Palace was taken by the people, and in the evening was burnt down. Other towns in Sicily have risen, the inhabitants everywhere shouting 'Italy for ever ! Victor Emmanuel for ever ! The Patrie states that, "as soon as the insurrection becomes mistress of Palermo, Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to the Italian kingdom, reserving the ratification of his resolution for universal suffrage. A pro- visional Government under the presidency of Garibaldi would then direct the insurrection."

Why do the Sicilians fight with such fury and constancy ? The answer may be read in the following extract from a pamphlet, entitled "Torture in Sicily," which comes from an authentic source :— " Maniscaleo, the director of police, an old gendarme, and as on of a waiter in a Naples hotel, has been for some time the real ruler of Sicily, and under his auspices a system of torture has been perfected, which is the consumma- tion of diabolical cruelty. "Every commissary, every jailer," says M. de In Varenne, "has his own method of applying torture. It is revolting to come to details, but they are unhappily exact and confirmed by official au- thority. The famous Pontillo owes his reputation to the species of torture which he applies in his own commissariat, making the victim sit down in a railed arm chair set with razor blades, under which is placed a pan of burn- ing coals. The inspector, Louis Manisealco, the namesake of the general director, applies to the accused little iron hands provided with a closing screw. This is called, in the language of the police, 'the angelic instru- ment.' The jailer, Bruno, belonging to the police commissariat of the odious Carrega (there is a prison in each commissariat), tortures by stripping the victim of his clothes and binding his head between his legs. Others employ the torture of the tourniquet, drawing a cord with a stick inserted in it tight, round the head of the accused till the eyes start out of the head and the skin cracks. Others have recourse to starvation, to blows, to the priva- tion of light and breathable air. But the one satellite of the director-gene- ral who outstrips all the others, is the notorious Captain Chenuici, born a peasant in the village of Belmonte, a robber by profession, and now an offi- cer of police and a rich proprietor." The action in the Papal States between the gendarmes and Zanbianchi seems to have been fairly narrated by the victors. That ferocious par- tizan was defeated and driven into Tuscany, where his men were dis- armed and imprisoned.

The Government of Venetia has declared that 365 emigrants, sinless they forthwith return, shall have their property confiscated, and be deprived of any property they might have inherited or enjoyed under a will. The Austrian corps in 'Venetia has been placed on an active footing, in order that it may be speedily moved and prepared for all emergencies. The military forces, considerably reduced, will be con- centrated in the fortresses of the quadilateral. The cavalry will be assembled in the plain of Pordenona, and the artillery in Verona. The latter will be provided with rifted cannon. Thus Austria, with a corps d'armee of 70,000 men, will await the development of events in Italy. The debate in the Sardinian Chamber of Deputies on the Treaty of Cession extended over five days. The opposition was represented by Guerazzi, Fantoni, Berti, Brofferio, Ferrari, Ratazzi, and others. They condemned the treaty in no measured terms. On the other side the chief speakers were the Ministers Cavour, FarMi, and Carutti ; but they were well supported. The argument of Count Cavour was, the alliance between France and Sardinia had become a necessity since 1848; that Englarsl gave her sympathy, but stood too stoutly by the treaties of 1815 tta jve material aid ; that with the help of France Piedmont had acquiret„sfew territories and had advanced the policy of independence ; and that,- is this policy must be persisted in, the French alliance was a necessity, and the cession of Savoy and Nice was necessary to preserve the alliance. On the 29th the Chamber of Deputies approved the Treaty of Cession of Savoy and Nice by 229 against 33 votes. 23 members abstained from voting.

Ratazzi immediately put in a protest against future cessions, and asked whether it was not owing to the counsels of France that the auto- nomy of Tuscany had been granted Count Cavour said—" We have no guarantees from France in favour of the annexed provinces of Italy, as we have not asked for any. We have considered the declarations of France, that she would insure a policy of non-intervention on the part of foreign powers, to be sufficient. __France has not exercised the least pressure respecting the autononsrof Tuscany. She has limited herself to simple non-official diplomatic conversations, in which we have de- clared that the autonomy of Tuscany must disappear. To this, France has not made the least objection."

1r air f.—The Emperor started yesterday from Paris to meet the Em- press Dowager of Russia at Lyons. The Empress Eugenie accompanied her husband.

The Atotaiteur of yesterday contained one of those peculiar articles of which we had several specimens in the spring of 1859. According to the telegram, the Moniteur i says :— "The Government believes t its duty to protest against the malevolent suppositions and accusations, and the thoughtless interpretations, which have been produced by the annexation of Savoy and Nice." The Moniteur recalls the circumstances which brought about the cession of two provinces separated from Piedmont by the highest mountains in Europe, and says :— " The French Government, far from having a design to provoke or to give rise to complications in Europe, in order to find an occasion for further ggrandisement, is animated by thoughts of quite an opposite character.

e Government deplores the manceuvres destined to propagate daily im- pressions the least exact as regards its real intentions. The Emperor has made every effort to reestablish in Europe the confidence which has been shaken. His sole desire is to live in peace with other sovereigns, his allies, and to use all his endeavours to actively develope the resources of France." M. Fould has seized the opportunity afforded by an agricultural show at Tarbes to deliver a speech having a wider range of interest than or- dinary effusions of the kind. After eulogizing agricultural shows; he said :—

" Let our gratitude be addressed to the Prince to whom we owe so much ; and let it increase, if possible, at the recollection of the difficulties which he has known how to overcome. Call to mind, gentlemen, what took place scarcely a year ago. The country was then engaged in all the hazards of war ; every family had a relative or friend exposed to the chances of battle, and many a tear was silently shed for them. But the &let of our victories silenced our grief, and the whole of France, intoxicated with the triumph, was eager to follow the sovereign whom she admired. Who knows whither he might have led her if he had not shown himself more wise than she ? You saw the Emperor remain calm in the midst of this general enthusiasm ; you in- dependence him, after having secured the success of his designs and the of an allied nation, restore to the world an unhoped-for peace.

So much moderation in the past is a certain pledge for the future. The Em- peror has, on many occasions proclaimed what he desired—to secure to France the rank which belonged to her, and guarantee to her the blessings of peace. The words which he delivered on the 1st of March, in opening the Legislative Session, cannot have escaped your memory This peace,' he said, I sincerely desired, and I will neglect nothing to maintam it.' Do not, therefore gentlemen, allow yourselves to be overcome by the un- easiness which parties are endeavouring to disseminate ; have faith in him who has saved you from their impotence and their excesses. Notwithstand- ing the events which disturb some of the States of Europe, and in spite of the agitation and mistrust endeavoured to be excited in the public mind, France, calm and prosperous, may give herself up in security to her labours. She knows that the Emperor is strong enough to inspire respect for her rights, and that he is a too loyal neighbour, and too faithful an ally to threaten those of others."

The old Prince Jerome Bonaparte is dangerously ill. His malady is congestion of the brain. The Minister of War has published a decree authorizing voluntary engagements in the Imperial Guard of men not having yet served. This decree is regarded to be of great importance, and is said to be issued at the suggestion of the Emperor, who desires to introduce a new element into his Guard.

The Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cessation has quashed the judgment of the Imperial Court in the case of "the heirs of Bishop Rousseau v. the Bishop of Orleans," which ruled that no prosecution lies for a libel upon the memory of a dead person unless in cases where the libel is prompted by malice towards the living. Any statement re- flecting upon the honour of any dead person, whether he died fifty years ago (as in Bishop Rousseau's case,) or 500, is punishable by fine and imprisonment, according to the law laid down by M. Dupin and the Court of Caseation.

Six vessels of war, having revictualled at Toulon, returned to Mar- seilles. Three of these vessels were stationed off the isles of Hyeres, the other three were to proceed to Genoa and bring back troops.

efrmattii.—A telegram from Vienna, dated May 28, gives some in- formation respecting the working of the Imperial Council.

"The first session of the enlarged Council of the Empire will, according to the programme of the Cabinet, only be of a preparatory character, and will merely deliberate upon the organic bases of the future governmental edifice. The Emperor will not, therefore, open the session of the 31st in- stant by a speech, nor will the present President be replaced. The Arch- duke Rainier will continue to preside over the Council of the Empire, After this preparatory sitting the Council will be formally constituted by the Deputies of the Provincial Diets, and by those Archdukes who may take their seats in the Council by order of the Emperor. It is supposed that the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian will then be definitively appointed President of the Council of the Empire."

A telegram from Vienna, May 31, tells us that "the enlarged Council of the Empire was opened today at 11 o'clock by a short speech from the President, Archduke Reiner, to whom Count Apponyi replied, in order to explain the particular position of the Hungarians in relation to the Council of the Empire. Count Androssy added a few words, expressing the loyalty of the Hungarians. The members of the Council will be re- ceived tomorrow by the Emperor, who will address them in a cordial speech." At the grand dinner given by the good folks of Treves to the Prince Regent of Prussia and his eldest son, on the opening of the Saarebruck railway, the Prince Regent said :— " I accept this manifestation of your devoted loyalty with joy and grati- tude, and am convinced that the sentiments here expressed are those enter- tained by all the citizens of the Rhine provinces, and even of the whole kingdom. I am also certain that they will remain unchanged whatever vicissitudes may arise. I am most happy to have completed the work my brother began, and will now drink to the prosperity of the city of Treves."

At Saarebruck the Prince greatly to the delight of Germany, made a strongly accentuated patriotic speech, and said, almost within the hearing of the Prefect of the Moselle, and the French General Marey Monge; who had gone to Saarebruck to pay _him a complimentary visit, that "Prussia would never permit a single inch of German soil to be lost to

In the late debate in the Lower Chamber of Prussia, M. Mathis, who evidently spoke the sentiments of the whole assembly in a speech of much eloquence and power, which was loudly cheered, said that, at the present juncture there were four main points on which it was absolutely necessary that all should be agreed :—

1. That they [should not stand with their eyes shut and their arms across, and say, "Wee be to those who may venture to attack us" • but they should be on the alert, and prepared,. on all hands and at all hazards, not for defence only, but for attack too, if needful. 2. That, when other coun- tries are engaged in forming new or in strengthening old relations, they should at once seek an alliance with England, whose interests were identi- cal with their own, by which the welfare and security of both would be es- sentially promoted. 3. That, although this might be considered as nothing more than an extension of the preceding, it still was necessary that it should be more clearly expressed that the alliance referred to with England should be something more than a mere diplomatic formality, and that it should be of the most candid and confidential character' so that when yes was said it should mean yes, and that when no was said there could be no doubt that no was intended. And 4. That there should not be the shadow of an ex- cuse given for the formation of an idea, or for the circulation of the report, that they should ever consent to give up even the smallest hamlet, either on the right or on the left bank of the Rhine, in exchange for territories now belonging to their neighbours in whatever way these may be proposed to be conferred on. them.

A supposed interference with private political despatches is at present the subject of general conversation in the Prussian capital and in other diplomatic circles in Germany. The document which is said to have been temporarily abstracted or tampered with is a letter from the Prince Regent to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort of England, the contents of which had become known to the French Government without any official com- munication having been made to them on the subject. There are various versions of the story—one is that there had been a breach of confidence in Berlin ; another is that the mail bags had been opened en route to England, and when the sought-for information was obtained the despatch was again closed and forwarded to its destination ; while others pretend that neither in Berlin nor on the road had there been any impropriety; but that a want of discretion in England had afforded the confidential mformation. But that is considered so very unlikely, that the statement to that effect is only thought to have been made to divert attention from the real delinquents.— Letter from Hamburg.

Alk552-g1155P1.—The official _Law Gazette publishes a constitution granted to the country by the Elector. This constitution is dated the 30th of May, and is based upon the resolutions of the Federal Diet of the 24th of March, and of the Diet of Electoral Hesse of 1857.

fit mark alit ItlEhM1.—The Kings of Denmark and Sweden are to have a friendly and unceremonious interview. The two sove- reigns will meet at the fortress of Kronborg, near the Sound. The Xing of Sweden declines all official reception, even of that of a grand dinner at court. From Kronborg, the King of Denmark will proceed to the head-quarters of the Swedish army, and assist at its summer ma- neeuvres, which are to take place under the command of King Charles XV. during the latter half of June.

111.55i O.—The Journal de St. _Petersbourg contradicts officially the reports which have been in circulation relative to the concentration of troops in the South of Russia, and of armaments in the port of Nico- laieff.

It is now stated that Prince Gortschakoff, in his recent interview with the Foreign diplomatists, simply represented the necessity of urging the Porte to improve the condition of its Christian subjects, in order that no unpleasant complications might arise in Turkey in Europe. Prince Gortschakoff also affirms that the Russian Government does not think of separately intervening in favour of the Turkish rayahs.

It is further said that the European Powers answered him with a startling unanimity, and threw cold water on his project. It would seem that the Turks have been beforehand with the Powers. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 25th of May, publishes a telegram communicated by the Minister of Turkey, announcing that the Ottoman government is sending three commissions into the provinces of the north and south of the Empire, Roumelia, and Syria. These commissions will institute a regular inquiry with regard to the complaints of the Christians, under the presidency of the members of the Council.

$tritia.—Prince Milosch is very ill. The Russian Consul at Belgrade is said to be very intimately connected with the Metropolitan, and with the faction which is hostile to Prince Michael, the heir presumptive to the throne.

VEI IL—The Cortes was opened on the 25th of May, by Queen Isa- bella in person—the King, the Duke de Montpensier, and the Infante Don Sebastian accompanying her Majesty. The first paragraphs of the speech are a glorification of the war waged for a " just cause" in Africa, under "Divine protection." With foreign powers her Majesty's Govern- ment is on friendly terms. A convention has been concluded with the Pope giving "security to existing interests and tranquillity to men's consciences," and another with Mexico, terminating the differences be- tween the two nations. Then there is an allusion to the Carlist insurrec- tion, its suppression and the amnesty that followed. Some references are made to purely internal questions, and the speech closes by a sort of prediction touching the future grandeur of Spain, now fatal dissentions have come to an end.

Seiler Martinez de la Rosa was elected President of the Cortes. On a later day, the Cortes unanimously resolved to consider the proposal de- claring the army of Marshal O'Donnell and the Marine to have deserved well of their country for their conduct in the African campaign.

CD a .—The large bodies of troops ordered to China have all set sail from India, and many have arrived. An Armstrong battery is also out there, and the preparations for the expedition were going on with commendable activity at Hongkong. We learn from papers presented to Parliament that the report of the rejection of Mr. Bruce's ultimatum was correct. Mr. Bruce was at first of opinion that the Chinese would give way. He found that was a mis- take, and prefaced by a recapitulation of the events which led to the treachery of the Chinese at Taku, he sent the following ultimatum to the Chinese Government :—

"Her Britannic Majesty's Government, after mature deliberation, have decided that whether the Emperor of China was cognisant of this act of hos- tility, or whether it was directed by his officers, it is an outrage for which the Chinese government must be held responsible. Her Britannic Majesty's government require, therefore, an immediate and unconditional acceptance of the following terms :—

" 1. That an ample and satisfactory apology be made for the act of the troops who fired on the ships of her Britannic Majesty from the forts of Taku in June last, and that all guns and material, as well as the ships abandoned on that occasion, be restored. 2. That the ratifications of the treaty of Tien-tsin be exchanged with- out delay at Pekin; that when the minister of her Britannic Majesty proceeds to Pekin for that purpose, he be permitted to proceed up the river i by Taku to the city of Tien-tain n a British vessel ; and that provision be made by the Chinese authorities for the conveyance of himself and of his suite with due honour from that city to Pekin. 3. That full effect be given to the provisions of the said treaties, including a satisfactory arrangement to be made for the prompt payment of the in- demnity of 4,000,000 taels, as stipulated in the treaty, for losses and mili- tary expenses entailed on the British government by the misconduct of the Canton authorities.

"The undersigned is further directed to state that, in consequence of the attempt made to obstruct the passage of the undersigned to Pekin, the understanding entered into between the Earl of Elgin and the imperial com- missioners in October, 1858, with respect to the residence of the British Minister in China, is at an end, and that it rests henceforward exclusively with her Britannic Majesty, in accordance with the terms of Article II. of the treaty of Tien-tsin, to decide whether or not she shall instruct her min- ister to take up his abode permanently at Pekin. "The undersigned has further to observe, that the outrage at the Peiho has compelled her Majesty's Government to increase her forces in China at a conaiderable cost, and the contribution that may be required from the Chinese Government towards defraying this expense will be greater or less, according to the promptitude with which the demands above made are satis- fied in full by the Imperial Government.

"The undersigned has only to add that, unless he receives within a period of thirty days from the date of this communication, a reply convey- ing the unqualified assent of his Majesty the Emperor of China to these de- mands, the British naval and military authorities willto adopt such measures as they may deem advisable for the purpose or compelling pelling the Em- peror of China to observe the engagements contracted for him by hie plenipotentiaries at Tien-tsin, and approved by his Imperial edict of July, 1858."

The answer of the Chinese Government was forwarded from the Great Council to Ho, Imperial Commissioner at Shanghai, on the 9th of April. It is a controversial document, giving a thoroughly Chinese colour to the events of last summer, and refusing the demands of Mr. Bruce with an. air of sarcastic solemnity: Thus :—

" (Then the demand for) indemnity under different heads, and for the _restitution of guns, arms, and vessels, Is yet more against decorum. The war expenses of China have been enormous. The cost of defending the coast from Kwang-tung and Fuh-lden up to Tien-tsin, from first to last, has not been short of several millions of money. Were she to demand re- payment of England, England would find that her expenses do not amount to the half of those of China. As to restoring ships and guns, the year be- fore last England destroyed the forts at Taku, and obtained possession of a number of guns belonging to China ought she not, then, on leer part, to be considering how to make these good? But, besides this, half the British ships and guns (demanded) were sunk in the sea : they are not in the pos- session of China at all. The question may be dropped, therefore, by both

parties alike The despatch written on this occasion (by the British Minister) is, in much of its language, too insubordinate and extravagant (for the Council) to discuss its proposition more than superficially (lit., to go deep into argument). For the future, he must not be so wanting in de- corum."

uitrb gtairs.—We have advices from New York to the 19th of May. Three conventions have now nominated candidates. The "Union Constitutional Party," as the old Whigs who refuse to affiliate with either the Democratic or the Republic organizations call them- selves, have held their national convention at Baltimore, and, with great unanimity, nominated as their candidates Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, for the Presidency; and Mr. Everett, of Massachusetts' for the Vice-Presidency. Mr. Everett is well known in this country. Mr. Bell has been Speaker of the House of Representatives, and has held other public positions. He is a pure whig of the old school. The Republic Convention at Chi- cago has nominated Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency. The Illinois Con- vention has nominated Mr. Hamlin for President, and Mr. Main for "Vice- President. The secessionists were not flourishing. The Japanese ambassadors reached Washington on the 14th of May.. Mayor Benett, in accordance with precedent, went on the vessel which brought them, and welcomed the distinguished guests to the city. On landing at the Navy-yard, Captain Buchanan welcomed them in the name of the President. No formal reply was made, and a procession was immediately formed to escort the ambassadors to their quarters. First of all was the President's mounted guard, then came the Japanese in hacks, then the treaty, and last of all, the marines and militia. A dense crowd thronged all the avenues through which the procession passed. The Senate was adjourned without transacting any business. The House was also adjourned after a short discussion.

&Uhl. —Advices nom Montreal by telegraph to the 19th, state that the Canadian Parliament has passed resolutions for abolishing canal tolls. The House had been prorogued. The country had 'been suffering from want of rain, but on the 18th and 19th heavy showms fell. Ex- tensive preparations were in progress throughout the prqiinees for the reception of the Prince of Wales. • .
