GREAT BRITAIN. v The London Times of July 22(1 says: Yester day tne Honorary rreeuom oi ine corporation or the city of Loudon, with a sword ot the value ol two huudied guineas, was publicly presented to Baron Napier, In the Guildhall, In pursuance of a resolution of the Court of Common Council unnniniously adopted at recent meeting, In admiration of the fortitude, skill, energy, and promptitude displayed by htra in brinpinir the Abjseinian war to a successful aud brilliant close. In the evening the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained his Royal HiRliness the Duke of Cambridge, Lord and Lady Napier, and many other persons of distinction, at din ner at the Mansion Ilouse, which was served in the EevDilan ball. The guests were about two hundred in number. Lord Napier of Magdala, who was received t 'with prolonged and enthusiastic cheering, In replying to the toast In his honor, said In his remarks: It is a source of very great gratifica tion to me and to every member ot the Abyssi nian expedition to find that our services have been received so favorably by our countrymen of all classes, aud that we have been considered to have done our duty. I mu9t pay that we are Tinder great obligations to the government of this country which supplied us promptly and ppeedily Willi everything we required. To the head or the povernment of India in this country, Bir Stafford Nerthcote, our acknowledgment are peculiarly due, nor can I abstain from mention ing the names of the military committee under Bir 8. Northcote Sir It. J. Hussey Vivian, Gen eral Baker, Captain Bastwick and Major General Pears, to whom we are ereatly indebted lor the labor, promptitude, and Judgment which enabled them to point out the wants which were supplied. I am alno much Indebted to the Duke of Cambridge, who so promptly and with out regard to precedent Rave me the officers I EOlicited, whose skill and courage I had wit nessed before, and whose services I was con vinced it was highly desirable to obtain. (Cheers.) The Viceroy of India, too, came to our assistance when we were in great dilBculties and sent us camel drivers and mule drivers, without whose aid we would scarcely have advanced. 1 have also to exprcsB my acknow ledgements to the Governor of Madras, my i honored namesake, Lord Napier of Merchlstoun, who gave us much valuable assistance. 1 must : also express my gratitude to the Governor 4 ot Bombay, Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, tor the ' I immense labor he bestowed ou the equipment of the expedition, and the great assistance he afforded us on every occasion after we left Bombay and whenever we required the aid of the Bombay Government. I have but one word to say in reference to the conduct of the men. The conduct of all the members of the force was exemplary in the highest degree. They vied with each other in devotion to the Qaeen and In the performance of their duty This was not the first time that I had seen British soldier Snbor eealoufely, but I never saw them labor beiter than on this occasion. The native sol diers abandoned all their prejudices, and vied with the Erelieh soldiers in zeal. I may men lion that on one occasion soon after I arrived, I rode round the works, and came upon a regl ment of Bengal native troops, who knew some thing of me personally and something by tradi tion. Some Prussian officers who honored us with their company could not think what had happened fflieu they saw even these meu, with bafkets of earth, dancing about with joy. They were expresinsr their delight that the Commander-in-Chief had come among them to see them at work. I cannot do too much justice to a Beloochee regiment for their devotion, and l.tt'e behind them, if any, ere the Tenth Bom bay native regiment. A great part of these men were Hindustanis, but they were as willing as any other races to do their duty, aud they were an honor to their Presidency. The services ot the cavalry were equally meritorious. I cannot but feel grateful to the lorce under my command through whose exertions I am indebted for the favors I have received. We all did our best, but without the zeal aod cordial co-operation of every officer and soldier under my command our success would not have been complete. General News. The excessive heat prevailing in England was largely increasing the bills ot mortality. During the week ending July 18, the rate in Loudon whs 27 in the thousand, while at Man chester it was as high as 39. Week by week the deaths in the lurge towns of England have tteadily increased from 22 per thousand in the beginning ot June, to 28. The increase has ' been greatest in London, Liverpool, Munches- . . rvi U K n fii .nil Uhnllinlil ., ,1 1 t, u o Kuan almost entirely due to the lata! prevalence of Bummer diarrhoea.

What la Thought sf tb Democratic NamlattlABl. The Constdutionnel ot the 21st Instant, hs a lone editorial article on the nomination ot the Democratic Convention in New York. In a rtolitical Doint of view, it savs it seems to merit the approbation of all those who take an interest in tue re-eataoiimnicnt or eauiiaoie reiauoss f between all the Htates of the Union, and in the i maintenance of Americau liberties. Its platform ; . constitutes a veritable act of accusation against the Kennblicans or radicals, and an energetic ! denunciation of their pol cy, which European admirers, more confiding than enlightened. believed It to be their duty to sigualizo as a model of liberalism. Has It not been olicn ronpflti'il. it savs. that the American war Was prosecuted and the victory of the Tsurtv of the Union won "without its having been necessary to vulue the statue of Jibsity." iue raaieais meinseivea iu iuc uuihu Htates must be astonished at such an assertion. The programme of the Democrats is lar from helntr ah BHtisf actorv in a financial Doint of view. It dei lures in favor of the Davment of the public debt in paper money in all ca?e where the bonds do not bear upon their lace the obligation to pay in speclo, or that the law which has created them does not make it an express obligation ou the Government. It demands also that all values eball have au eaual tax imposed on them, in' cludine. of course, the couooas of the Federal debt. In short, lavs the Cvnttitul tonne I, while calling for economy in the administration, and a reduction in the military aud naval services, the Democratic programme declares in favor of a ytem of Imposts which, will give protection to Industry, ' The just and the unjust, the good and the evil,'' adds the French semi-official journal, "are mingled in this profession of faith. But what renders the conduct of the Democratic party particularly difficult to comprehend is the fact that alter having adopted such a programme it should have such a candidate tor tne Presidency as Mr. Horatio Heymour, who, assuredly, li one of the most eminent representatives aud firm champions of the policy of eqaity and mode ration In regard to the South, bat who has very decidedly and openly condemned the finan cial policy of which the New York platform has become the expression. The fact, however, remains that Mr. Seymour has accepted the nomination which has been offered to him by the Convention of whieh, by-the-by, he wa the President. Perhaps Mr. Seymour's scruples have been quieted by the consideration that the pay ment or repudiation of the debt is a matter which rests with the Congress rather than with the President of the United htates. Perhaps on the other hand, it adds, the Democrats my have calculated that with a programme for and a candidate aealnst repudiation, tbey will teacb all shades of opinion, and thus attract a much larger number ol votes. We are lnor' A ot the success which this double ca'culaf -rfnay have with the electors, but it seems to tis not to be without danger, and it is assuredly wanting in candor." The Latest Harder Trial. The Taris (July 21) coirespondonce of the London limes says: Two women, Marie Fleu tot, a domestic sernut, aged twenty-lour, and her mother. Marguerite Merlette, have just been tried in Paris on a charge of murder. Th vic lm was a lady named Chnntereau, aged fifty, aud unmarried, but who, for more than twenty years, had cohabited with a person named Forest, a builder, and passed as his wife. She resided, duriug the summer, at a rleaant villa ou the banks ot the Marne, at La Varenne-Bt.-IIilaire, a shoit distance irom Paris; M. Forest, being detained in town by business, was always absent from his country seat duriug the week, and only arrived on Saturday evening; to stay over the Sunday. At abjut 1-30 o'clock on the morning of the 10th of August last, the house at La Varennc was discovered to be on fire. The flames were got under in about an hour, after which the body of Mad'lle Cbantereau was found ou the bed, which had only been partially burned; the head was com pletely carbonizod, but singularly enough, the body was only scorcneu ana tne mattresses on which it lay were not destroyed. Tuis fact struck the person who had come to render assistance, aud the first impression was thtt a crime had been committed, suspicion falling on lie servant Fleutot, who was alone with Mad'lle Cbantereau at the time of the disaster; but as Si. forest ioand bis property in the house to the amount of over 300,000 francs In cash and securities remaining intact, and as the body bore no marks of violence, that supposi tion fell to the ground, and the fire and the death of Mad'lle Cbantereau were concluded to have been the result of accident. In February last, however, from information which U. Forest received, a search was made in an apartment at Beroy occupied by the mother of the girl Fleutot, aud a large quantity ol property was found, consisting of bedding, linen, jewelry, articles of wearing apparel, etc., of the value of from 4009 francs to 6000 francs, all of which had belonged to the deceased lady. A judicial -inquiry was then opened and showed that tne murder must nave men committed by the woman Fleutot, assisted by her mother, who went frequently to visit her, and they were iu consequence both arrested. The circumstantial evidence was conclusive, and the prisoners were each condemned to hard labor for life. On bearing the sentence the girl Fleutot, who uuii probably expected a capital punishment, could not restrain a smile ot satisfaction, which ex cited the Indignation of the public present, and some cries of "death 1 death 1" were heard from the audience. The DuksdiMoatpiailtr'i Troubles. The semi-official French papers have orders to contradict the report that the French Govern ment bad given information to tne Spanish uov ernment respecting the revolutionary intrigues recently attributed to the Duke de Montpensier. The Fr'anoe aud the Constitudonnel both say that the Emperor's Government knew nothing what ever on the subject, and was equally ignorant of he steps which tne ppanisn uovernmeut in tended to take. A telegram from Mad rid says that the Spanish Minister iu Fngland has informed his Government that Geueral Prim had disappeared from Lon don. and gone probably to Lisbon, where all military men of the Progressist party who have recently naa to leave cspam. are sata to do pro ceeding. The telegram adds that the Spanish Government are becoming alarmed, and that a state of siege will pro ably be proclaimed ere long. The belief prevailed in Madrid, that the present Portuguese Miniolry are in favor of a revolution in Spain. The Portuguese Council of State, at the close of their session of July 20, detei mined to allow the Duke de Montpensier to reside in Portugal, although the frenoh Gov eminent was opposed to it. Poor Oarlotta. The Freste reports that the health of the un fortunate Empress of Mexico is in no way im proved, but that, on the contrary, her reason wanders more and more. She has formed the design ot going to Miraniar, aud the greatest pains in the world are necessary to divert her irom this project. It is feared that she may make her escape from the chateau of Lacken, and hence all tbo issues ot the building are strictly guarded, and the number of sentinels doubled. ITALY. The Campaign of 1800 Tho Return of Ueneratl l.a Alar mora. In the sitting of the Italian Chamber of Depu ties, July 21, General Delia Marmora asked if Geueral Jaenitbiea was prepares to repiy to nis question relative to the Prussian staff report of 18GG. General Menabrea, in reply, acknow ledged the noble feeling which prompted Gen eral Delia Marmora, but pointed out that the faut of the Itallau army occupying 190,000 Aus trian in the Quadrilateral sufficiently related anv depreciation o tne eincacy ot tne ita Hun aillutice. General Menebrea further observed that the French translation of the lTusslan report was Inaccurate. When Intel!! eenee of Delia Marmora's question reached Bit iiu. the Frusbiau Minister communicated to the Itallau Government a despa'ch, declaring that General Moltke could speak in none but lauda- torvtermsot the conductor the Italian army. The phrases objected to in the report did not emanate iron me rrussian uoverumeni, ana must be attributed to inaccurate interpretations ol analytic instructions. It the 1'rus fcian report, on closer examinatin, should be lound to contain anything deroga tory to the Italian army or uovernment, it would be ensy to obtuin explanation, without raisins this delicate matter in i'ariia ment. The question was therefore superfluous and inopportune. Gen. Delia Marmora, deter ring lo the wish of Gen. Menabrea, said he would not perslBt in putting toe quesiiuu oi wuiuu ue had given notice, be admitted the inaccuracy nf the French, translation in certain respect hot bavins read the German oiiginal, he was not so easily satisfied as Gen. Menabrea. He therefore demanded the publication or a com nlato renoit bv the Italian staff of the campaign of lHtifl. Geu. Menabrea replied that the Italian staff w as already engaged upon the compilation ol such a report. Baralas of tha ISotta Thaatra.

About halt ol the spectators then returned to their seats, while tho;ewho were nearest the door left the building.

SPAIN. Rellgloua liberty Imprisonment for Protectant I sin. In the English House ot Commons, on the 20tli ot July, Mr. Baines asked the Secretary of State for Foteign AUairs if it was true that Julian do Vargas, a Spanish schoolmaster at Malaga bad been imprisoned in a felon's prison since the 12th ol March, and was now under prosecution by the Fiscal, whodemand"d a sen tence or teventefn months' imprisonment lor having in bis bouse a Spanish Bible and Testa- menttand altew French Protestant book not of coutrovernal character; and whether he would use the friendly influence of this Govern ment with the Government ot Spain to ob am an abandonment of this lellgious persecution, so calculated to offend the public feeling of the rest of Europe, where the rights of conscience are now acknowledged by the law of all coun tries, Protestant, Koman Catholic, and even Alonatnaiedxn. Lord Stanley said he believed the facts oflhe case were tbnt a man named Vargas, a school master at Malaya, had been In prison some weeks, and" was at present under prosecution, but there was some discrepancy in the various statements which had reached him as to the precise nature of the charge. If he understood it aright, the charge was not for having Protest ant books in his possession, but that he, beine a schoolmaster, was alleged to have taught Pro testant doctrine; and the fact of his having these books in his possession was brought forward m support of the charge. The proceedings insti tuted were by the local authorities and not by the Sauisli Government. This was very delicate matter ior iter Maiestys Government to meddle with, because, as the man was a Spanish subject, they had no authority whatever to lntertere. Any communi cation between the two Governments must be of the most friendly character, and even in that case they had to guard most carefully against even the appearauce of wishing to dictate to the Spanish Government. The only ground npon which dipioma'ic action could oe lounded in a case of this kind was that such proceedings tended to create a good deal ot excitement among the Protestant communities which might result in 111 feeling, and on that ground alone he had felt himself at liberty, in a friendly and un official manner, to advise the Spanish Govern ment to deal with Vargas with as much leniency as possible under the circumstauces. Beyond that he did not think proper to go. GREECE. Greek Sympathy with tha United States- On the 27th of June last, about mid-dav. the Metropolitan of Atnens paid a visit to his Ex cellency Mr. Tuckermau, United States Minister. After the usual compliments bad been exchanged the Metropolitan addressed Mr. Tuckermau in a speech, in wmcu ne said: "As one or the men ol our grand struggle commencing in 1821, and which continues still, aud as (Jtnei ot the Hellenic (Jiergy, i desire to express to you, the representative of the great American nation, the gratitude of my old com panions in arms belonging to the orthodox clergy, and that of the whole Greet nation, for the great favors of every kind which the American nation, in the old strugele as in the new one in Crete, has conferred, and yet comers, upon Eastern Christians who fight for religion, country, and liberty. I pray your excellency to couvey the expressions of our profound gTaiitude to the glorious Ameri can nation, and, if it be possible, to every American citizen, and say to them that so long as there shall be Greeks iu the world, the feeling of Hellenic gratitude towards the glorious American natien will be transmitted from eene ration to generation, and will be traced in in delible characters on the hearts of Greeks. The Greek clergy will ever pray the Eternal to erant peace and prosperity to the world, but especially to the nations so closely united by benefits and by gratitude. We could hardly staud. in our great struggle without the favors of America; but for American kindness many Cretan widows and orphans must have perished ot huneeraud cold. God bless the Americans, the benefactors of the Christians of the East I" GENERAL GRANT. Rebels Insult Hint at St. Joseph, Ho. Sharp Rebuke bjr General Sherman. A despatch to the Chicago Fost. from St Louis. July 30, says: A most dastardly and villainous iii6ult was offered to General Graat and his party, on the occamou of their passage through St. Joseph the other day. The crowd at the depot, on the General's arrival, was im mense, and a most cordial aud enthusiastic welcome was given him. It was observed that a purtv of Itebels were in the crowd, and, from cettain suspicious movements, it was evident that they meant mischief. When the General arrived at the Pacific House the crowd had in creased to several thousands, and is answer to the most vocilerous cheers the General appeared on the balcony aud spoke as lollows: "Fellow-citizens I thank you for tills very cordial reception, but I cannot make vou a speech. I have ueen travelling all the time for the past two weeKs in tne western country, auu it is the first time 1 have ever bean in tho West. 1 am tired and worn out, and you must there' fore excuse me tor not spcakinc." The General then reured. This little speech was received with tumultuous cheers, alter which General Miernian was loudly culled ior, and finally appeared on the balcouy. At this iuueture the plansof the Rebels were developed. A roan named E. O. Hayes, having been tilled with whiskv for the occasion, looted a horn and others cheered for Seymour, and hooted and howled in the most boisterous and insulting manner. As soon us the excitement subsided a little. General Sherman i-poke as follows: "Gen Grant and myself know how to appreciate any spirit ol respect, but ueither bo nor myself aro to be disconcerted by any large crowd. We are used to lurgo crowds, and we cannot be dlscon certcd. Geueral Grant has declined to make a fpeech. aud I think, occupviug the position he uoes helore the country, he acts the part of wisdom." Here some one called for three cheers for Seymour, and the cheers ol the ruffians and the groans of the loyal people in'errupted the Geue ral for some time. As soon as partial quiet was restored, General Shcrmun said: "(tentiemen, I do not in geueral counsel violence, but were I a citizen ot St. Joseph I would take that man (referring to the man who commenced the dis turbance), down to the Missouri river and duck him. We have fought Itebels, and we thought they had had enough of flehtlng " This senti ment caiiea out prnionttea aua nearly cneers, and the General finding he could not be heard further, retired. The crowd lingered around the Pacific Ilouse until a very late hour, and General Grant, finally, at 10 o'clock, held a levee, aud shook hands wlui a very large number oi tue people, General Sherman a. so participated, and an boar more was spent very pi aantly. The old rebellious spirit of 1861 is cropping ont in mny parts of this S' ate, and there will be lively times and not a little bloodshed before the campaign is over. Frank Blair's letter and the teachings of Wade Hamp'on, Governor Wtte, Robert Toomb-s and their allies, are having their legitimate efleet, and cannot result but in tumult and conflict. General Gtaut arrived here last night, and alter spending the morning In the ciiy, went out to his farm. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT Or QUARTER BKIOVS. Juie Braws-trr.- William H.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Tbo Salts Afralnet Oeaeral Butler Re- lUTlMaj tbo Buflerarej bjr thai Lat Flood. Baltimore, Aogiist 3. Robert J. Brent and William Meade Addison aro counsel for Wojley acainst General Butler for falsa imprisonment and illegal seizure of bis private telegrams, and (or the Kimberly Brothers, who allege that Butler wronged them out of thirteeen thousand dollars for rent wrongly extorted. Brent alleges that Butler falsifies by saying that he was one of flurratt's counsel, and Addison asserts that Butler mUrepresented by saying a return of the thirteen thousand dollars had been made to the Government, when no such return any where appears, leaving thetnference that Butler pocketed the whole amount. Collections were taken in nearly all the churches yesterday for the sufferers, and at Ellicott City the sums received will reach seve ral thousand dollars. Benjamin Deford, owner of the Granite Mills, said yesterday bis entire loss would be fully two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, equal to cash paid ont in the past year. Fortunately, he is worth over a million besides. FROM ST. LOUIS. Contradictory Statement Tbo Kfttgbta Yeimplar. St. Louis, August 3. Accounts by eye witnesses belonging to both parties contradict the statements as telegraphed a few days ago of. a desperate fight at a Democratic meeting in Sabine county last week. The man Howard referred to was drunk, and hurrahed for Jim Lane, to annoy Colonel Phillips, the speaker, and when an attempt was made to quiet Howard he shot Cheatham. A panic ensued and a few pistol shots were fired, but only one man was killed and two or three wounded. The difficulty did not have its origin in politics. Extensive arrangements are being made for a grand encampment of Knights Templar. Co tu rn audcries fiom all narta of thi nnnntry will ba here. THE EUROPEAN MARKETS. To-Day 'a ttuotatloMi.
