PERSONAL. M. Meyerbeer, the illustrious composer, has arrived in London to superintend the rehearsals of his new opera, “Ze Pardon de Ploermd," at Covent Garden. Private advices by the Africa announce the fact that Capt. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, escaped without a wound at the battle of Solferino, al though in his regiment (Ist Chasseurs d' Afrique,) one in four among the officers, and one in seven among the men, were either killed or wounded. Tiie telegraph announces the arrival at Phil adelphia from Venezuela, of Gen. Paez, he hav ing become disgusted with the anarchical con dition of his native country. Alexander Dumas has bought a yacht for twenty thousand francs, and has got five friends to join him in a grand tour. The President is at Bedford Springs. Mrs. Secretary Thompson and Miss Lane accom panied him from Washington. A statue of Jexner, cast in bronze, has been set up temporarily opposite the river front of the Louvre, Paris. Professor Tischendorf, who had been sent by the Russian government on a journey of sci entific exploration, in a letter from Cairo, states to the Minister of Saxony, Herr Von Falkenstein, that he has succeeded in making some valuable discoveries relative to the Bible. The most im portant of these discoveries is a manuscript of the Holy Scriptures from the fourth century, consequently as old as the famous manuscript of the Vatican, wl»eh, hitherto, in all commentaries, maintained the first rank.— N. Y. Sat. Press. Death of a Veteran of tiie Last War.— The London papers record the death of Lieut. Gen. Proctor, who played such an important part in the last war between the United States and Great Britain, having commanded the 82d regiment at the battle of Fort Erie, and subse-’ quently shared in the campaign along the Niag ara frontier. He was colonel of the 97 th regi ment. He died a few days since, at his seat, in Wales, suddenly, from disease of the heart.— He had been sixty years in the army. In 1814, he commanded the 82d regiment before Fort Erie, from September 2d throughout the succes sive operations of the campaign on the Niagara frontier. He received the brevet promotion of lieutenant colonel for his conduct in repelling the attack on the batteries and position before Fort Erie, on the I7tli of September, 1814. Spurgeon, the great London preacher, recent ly addressed four acres of human beings, that space being covered by his audience. The statue of Handel, which has been erect ed at Halle, the native city of the great composer, was uncovered on July Ist. It is in bronze, and ten feet in height, and stands on a pedestal of marble, raised upon granite steps. The great composer is represented in the costume of his time, leaning on a music desk, on which lies the score of the Messiah. In his right hand, he holds a roll of music. In front of the pedestal is in scribed, in characters of gold, the name of “Han del.” On the opposite side are the words “erect ed by liis admirers in Germany and England, in the year 1859.” On one side of the pedestal is a wreath of oak, and on the other a wreath of laurel, in gilt bronze. A bronze statue of Han del has also been erected at Berlin. Mr. Moiiphy, at the request of a citizen of New York, is now sitting to Elliott for an oil portrait. lie leaves for the White Mountains in a few days. The following is an extract from a letter of the Rev. Tuos. Belsham, dated Hackney, Au gust 16th, 1805, which contains an account of a visit which he had just paid to the Duke of Grafton: “Admiral Cosby told mo one circum stance, which was curious. When he was Commander-in-Cliief in the Mediterranean, dur ing the late war, at the time that we were in possession of Corsica, and when Sir Gilbert Elli ott was Governor-General of the Island, General Paoli introduced Bonaparte, then a young man, to the Governor and to the Admiral, as a friend of his, who would be glad to be employed in the service of England; but these wise men, not having Lavater’s skill in physiognomy, rejected the proposal, which obliged Bonaparte to offer his services to the French; and this was the rise of Bonaparte’s fortunes. I had often heard that Bonaparte had offered liis ser vices to the English and had been rejected, but I hardly gave credit to it till I learned it from Admiral Cosby himself.” Francis A. Maffit said to be a son of Rev. John Newland Maffit, the eloquent preacher who flourished so extensively some years ago, died of an apoplectic fit, in the St. Louis jail, on Sunday night, 17th. The deceased, together with several others, had been arrested and im prisoned on suspicion of forgery. Madame Borghi-Mamo is engaged at the Italian opera house in Paris, at a salary of eight thousand francs per month! The venerable Rembrandt Peale, the painter of the best portrait of Washington, is at pres ent on an active summer tour to the Highlands, Catskill, eta He is now eiglity-two years of age, is the last surviving painter (from life) of the world’s greatest man. Washington sat to him for this now immortal picture, in 1795, at Philadelphia ; and of the particulars of that sit ting, he gave us a most interesting account, (at Idlewild, a day or two since, in passing up the Hudson,) which we shall write out at our first leisure, for the gratification of our readers. Mr. Peal is a beautiful type of calm and dignified old age. His snow-white hair gives a most ar tistic setting to his noble features ; and, with his erect form, courteous demeanor, and undimin ished vitality of eye and expression, he pre sents a most worthy casket of the glorious re membrances interknit with his long life. With him for a citizen, Philadelphia is like the valley over which rests the sunset's most golden cloud. —Home Journal. Mr. Choate’s debut before a Boston auditory was on the evening of Thursday, October 23, 1844, on which occasion he delivered the opening lecture of the Lyceum course. His subject was the importance of illustrating the history of New England by a series like the Waverly Novels. — Ho spoke for an hour and a half with scarce a recurrence to his notes, and with brilliant suc cess. He had, prior to this, delivered several characteristic lectures before the Salem Lyceum, including one on Poland, while the Polish Revo lution was exciting so much sympathy in this country. The Boston Courier states upon the very best authority that the enterprise of editing Mr. Choate’s works, has been undertaken by his own family, for the benefit of the estate, and that a complete collection of his various literary productions will be published at as early a date as possible, in connection with a biography.— The Courier adds the hope, that this statement will serve as a sufficient intimation to any who might have contemplated the collection of Mr. Choate’s works as a mere literary speculation, and that his estate, not of itself large, may thus have all the benefit of a posthumous publication of his writings. xkk soimo&x sxelh rat kseksibk. DOMESTIC SUMMARY. Kansas. —The total number of votes, accord ing to the official returns, cast in Kansas, at the recent election of Delegates to the Constitution al Convention, was 13,534, of which 7,374 were Republican, and 6,155 Democratic. The Demo cratic majority north of Kansas River was 319 ; the Republican majority south of that river was 1,538, making the Republican majority in the ter ritory, 1,219. The Kansas Constitutional Convention has nearly completed its labors, and will probably adjourn to-morrow. The Constitution is radi cally anti-slavery, but differs from the Leaven worth instrument, inasmuch as it does not ex tend the right of suffrage to negroes. The State Legislature is to consist of seventy-two Representatives and twenty-one Senators. Topeka has been selected as the temporary capital, Lawrence being a competitor for the honor. The indications are that the ratification of the Constitution will be vigorously opposed by the Democracy, as its strong measures, the annexa tion of the Platte District, the exclusion of free negroes, prohibition of bank issues, the preser vation of the present western boundary, which includes the gold regions, have all been defeated. Reported Mexican Expedition. —lt is be lieved that a very extensive military and promi nent movement is now on foot in this country, with the purpose of uniting in a plan for the re generation of Mexico: The New York Journal of Commerce has this additional information in relation to the Ameri can troops raising for Mexico. • “Since the publication of our last statement on this subject, tho plan of organizing the force has undergone some change. It is now deter mined to raise only two regiments, each to con sist of 1,000 men—one from this State and the other from California. [The latter State is con sidered the best in the Union for recruiting]. “The commanding officer of this force, Brig. Gen. Wheat, was a cavalry captain of the Ten nessee volunteers in tho Mexican war, and took a conspicious part in Walker’s last attempt upon Nicaragua. He left this city a day or two ago in the steamship Marion for Charleston, whence he will proceed to Yera Cruz, via New Orleans, in company with a dispatch from tiie Juarez Government, asking for his presence at that point as soon as possible. The present ar rangement is for Gen. Wheat to remain in Mexico and look after affairs there until the arrival of the two regiments from the United States, when lie will assume the command. The regiment will consist of ten companies. “It is hoped to have the force ready for mo tion in about two months. The regiments will leavo New York and San Francisco simulta neously, and will meet at Labor Island, or Brazos Santiago, to organize and drill, preparatory to entering Mexico as a compact and serviceable army, to sustain the Juarez Government.” The New Orleans Picayune says: We are re quested by Gen. C. R. Wheat to say, with re gard to a statement that originally appeared in a New York journal, and which lias been copied very generally by the press, to the effect that he has been invited by President Juarez, of Mexico, to take a column of his countrymen to aid the Liberal cause, that no such invitation has been received by him. California Gold Mines. —The yield of the gold mines continues as great as ever. Near two and a half millions of treasure went forward by last steamer, and not far from two millions go to day. These facts speak louder and more potently than all the newspaper articles that could be written, as to the continued produc tiveness of the mines. The story is simply and speedily told. We have a mining region larger than the whole of Louisiana and Alabama, not a tithe of which has yet been touched, and nearly all of which will yield remunerative returns to the labor of the miner. The population is now considerably over half a million, of whom a third are engaged in mining. Then, take into consid eration the fact that the facilities for producing and saving the gold have been increased ten fold within the last five years, so that ground before considered worthless, now pays well to work, and it will, in reality, appear that a gene ration will not make much of a hole in our mining region. In fact, our mines are mines in exhaustible. Extensive gold diggings had been discovered on Walker's River, which had produced much excitement in Nevado and Eldorado counties. The Creek and Cherokee Indians were in open hostilities in consequence of murders committed by tho former. A letter from Superintendent Johnson has been received at the Indian Bureau, in which, speaking of the difficulty between the Pawnee Indians and the citizens of Nebraska, he says no white person has been killed, but the whites have killed two Indians and wounded one. the Indians making no resistance when approached by the citizens, who were more culpable in pro ducing the difficulty than the .Indiaus. The newspaper accounts have been greatly ex aggerated. Fight with the Indians. —A letter to the St. Louis Republican , dated Camp Stockton, July 10, says: Capt. Bracket, of the Second Cavalry, United States Army, had a fight a short time since with a party of Indians near the Rio Grande, in which he defeated them, killing two, and wounding several more. He was obliged to get provis ions for his men, and from there to Presidio del Norte. At the latter place the Mexicans killed one of his men—a private, named John J. Stan der. Corporal Gaftiney was wounded at Las Limpias, and Private Amer died of sun-stroke. After his first scout, Capt. Bracket went out again after a large party of Indians, but did not succeed in finding their trail. Lieut. Owens ac companied the Captain on his first scout. This company has done a great deal of sendee along the Rio Grande and on the El Paso Road. The Treaty with China. —lnformation has been received at the Department of State to the effect that the proper steps have been taken by the Chinese government to carry into effect the arrangements made by ex-Minister Reed for tho payment of the various claims of American citi zens, amounting to about $700,000. St. Louis, July 9.—The express from Denver city arrived hero last night, having left on the 20th. The mines continued to yield well, and new deposits were constantly developing. Mauy miners were compelled to quit work, owiug to the scarcity of water. A company had com menced the construction of a flume eleven miles long, to convey water to the neighborhood of the mountain city. Utah. —Papers to June 20th have been re ceived from'Great Salt Lake City. In the opinion of the best farmers there will not be over half of an average crop raised this season in the Territory. The grass-hoppers and crickets were making great liavoa In the Tabernacle, on the 26th ult., Elder Orson Hyde spoke of the saving policy of Joseph in storing up the grain of Egypt against the seven years of famine, and argued that, inasmuch as a sore famine was foretold to come to pass in the present generation, it be- hooved the Saints to take care of and begin at once to store up their grain. Brigham Young had delivered a funeral dis course over his sister, in the Tabernacle, closing as follows: “ God bless you ! When I have the power, I will bless you so effectually that you will not be afflicted by the devil as you are now; amen.” Thousands of emigrants were on their way from the States, via Pike’s Peak, to California, and intended to pass through Great Salt Lake City. Charleston, July 29.—The steamship Hunts ville, from Savannah, bound to New York, was discovered to be on fire about six o’clock this morning. In trying to put into this port she got ashore in Beach Channel. She will probably be got off this afternoon. Twenty-five passengers have reached this city in a pilot lx>at. The fire does not appear to make much progress. Charleston, July 29, P. M.—Tho Huntsville has been brought into port, and is now along side the Southern Wharf. The cotton in her hold is on fire, and the firemen are playing on it It is impossible, as yet to learn the ex tent of the damage done. The interior of the hold is very much injured by the fire. The principal part of the Goods by Hamden’s Ex press, per steamship Huntsville, have been saved, and will go forward to New York on to morrow’s Charleston Steamer. Atlantic Telegraph Cable. —Cyrus W. Field, Esq., who has just returned from Eng land, asserts, we understand, that a new Tele graph Cable across the Atlantic will be laid within six months from this time. Death of Richard Rush. —The Washing ton Constitution of Saturday evening says: “We are informed of the death of the Hon. Richard Rush, at his residence in Philadelphia, this morning.” Georgia State Road. —Forty thousand dol lars have been paid into the Treasury, as the net emings of the State Road for the month of July. From Nicaragua. —A special dispatch to the Charleston Courier , dated New Orleans, July 29th, says: The Cass-Herron Treaty has been laid over for a year, and Minister Lamar is on his way home. Sir Wm. Gore Ousley was at San Jose. Mons. Belly has secured the Transit Route for six years, until the Isthmus Canal is finished, and expects to commence operations in October. Senor Martinez intends calling an extra session of the Nicaraguan Congress for their approval of the grant of the Transit Route to Mons. Belly, and also t 6 take some action in relation to the treaty with the United States, and the ultimatum of Minister Lamar. Washington, July 30.—Advices received here from Nicaragua, give assurance that the Con gress of that country will ratify the Lamar-Zele don treaty, omitting the filibuster clause. » Is is believed that Judge Bowlin will go as Minister to Central America. Mr. Cushman, recently appointed Minister to the Argentine Confederation, received his in structions to-day, and started on his destination. - FOREIGN SUMMARY. The Royal Mail Steamship Europa, from Liv erpool 10 A. M., 16th inst., arrived at Halifax at 1 P. M. yesterday, the 26th. An order of the day, published at Verona, says Austria commenced the war for the maintenance of sacred treaties, relying on the devotedness of the people, the bravery of the army, and her natural allies. Not having found allies, Austria yields to an unfavorable political situation. The Paris Moniteur publishes a proclamation by the Emperor' announcing to his soldiers tiie basis of peace. It is to the following effect: “The principal aim of the war is obtained, and Italy will become for the first time a nation.— Venetia, it is true, remains to Austria, but will nevertheless be an Italian province, forming part of the Itatian Confederation. The union of Lombardy with Piedmont creates for us a power ful ally, who will owe to us its independence.— The Italian governments which have remained inactive, or which have been called back into their possessions, will comprehend the necessity of salutary reforms. A general amnesty will obliterate the traces of civil discord. Italy, henceforth mistress of her destinies, will only have herself to accuse should she not pro gress regularly in order and freedom. You will soon return to France. A grateful country will there receive with transports those soldiers who have raised so high the glory of our arms at Montebello, Palcstro, Tnrbigo, Magenta, Marig nano, and Solferino! who in three months have freed Piedmont, and have only stopped because the contest was about to assume proportions no longer in keeping with the interests that France had in this formidable war. Bo proud, then, of your successes, proud of the results obtained, proud especially of lieing the well beloved child ren of that France who will always be the Great Nation, so long as she shall have the heart to comprehend the noble causes, and men like your selves to defend them. (Signed) Napoleon. “Vallegio, July 12th.” The preliminary conditions of the treaty of peace are thus announced in the official Aus trian Correspondence: Austria and France will support the formation of the Italian Confedera tion to which she accedes. Lombardy, as far as the line of the Miucio, is to be given up. Man tua, Peschiera, Borgoforte, and the whole of Venetia remain Austrian possessions. The Princes of Tuscany and Modena are to return to their States. A universal amnesty-is granted. Tiie Vienna correspondent of the London Times says that three applications were made to the Emperor of Austria before he would consent to an armistice. Overtures were made direct by Napoleon for the purpose of preventing the mediation of neutrals. The King of Sardinia had issued the following proclamation to the people of Lombardy: “ Heaven has blessed our arms, with the powerful aid ofour magnanimous and valiant ally. We arrived in a few days after victory—upon victory, at the banks of the Mincio. To-day I come back among you to tell you that Heaven has granted your wishes. An armistice, followed by the preliminaries of peace, assure the people of Lombardy of their independence. Accord ing to your desire, many times expressed, you will henceforth form, with our ancient State, one single and free family. I take your destiny under my direction, and hope to find in you that concurrence which the chief of a State needs in order to create a new administration. I tell you, people of Lombardy, trust in your king, and let the government be established on a solid and imperishable basis. Ho will procure happi ness for the new country which Heaven has en trusted to his government. Victor Emmanuel.” News from Milan of the 13th states that the King of Sardinia arrived there in the evening, amid the plaudits of the populace. His Majesty subsequently presented himself in the balcony i of the hotel, and was greeted with warm ac- j clamations of “ Viva il re /” j Farther Point— -{Off Quebec.) —July 29. | The steamship Anglo-Saxon has arrived. There j w as nothing additional known in regard to the ; basis of peace. The discontent was apparently ! increasing, and particularly in Italy. Napoleon had arrived at St. Cloud. The Queen of Portugal, Maria Da Gloria, is ! dead. ! The representatives of France, Austria, and Sardinia, will shortly convene to conclude a ' treaty. The Emperors ignore any neutral inter i vention. i Important dispatches from Lord Palmerston, i dated June 22d, have found their way into print They strangely urge Russia to remain neutral. The leading English papers, including the j London Post, attack the treaty. There is great agitation "at Florence. The provisional government has issued a proclama tion acknowledging the treaty, but the Tuscan Government and people object to being replaced under Austrian influence. A corps of fifty thousand French troops will remain in Italy until the re-organization of the country. The most important towns in the Roman States had sent deputations to Garibaldi. - Modeno and Parma are said to be in a state of revolt The Austrian troops keep their position as if j there had been do declaration of peace. The Times' correspondent says that peace pro duced the greatest exasperation and defection at Turin. The Emperor was accused of being a i traitor to Italy, and his reception was very cold. The Conference at Zurich will meet in about \ a week. It is thought that Sardinia will not be ! represented. It is supposed that a European Congress will meet after the close of the Congress for Peace. The people of Tuscany have shown strong hostility to the return of the Grand Duke. By the Turin correspondent of the Daily News the Piedmontese are described as being a prey to grief and stupor, in consequence of the peace, which leaves Sardina without a fortified frontier. The Opinione of Turin does not conceal the dis satisfaction with which it sees Venice remain in the hands of Austria. It attributes Count Ca vour’s resignation to the insufficiency of the terms of peace. Turin, July 19.—A Ministry has been formed. The Minister of War and President of the Coun cil is Gen. Della Marmora,' the Minister of For eign Affairs is Gen. Dabormeni, and the Minister of the Interior is Signor Rattazi. The government of Lombardy has cautioned editors against invectives in regard to recent events, and recommends them to assume senti ments of moderation, under pains of suppression | or suspension. Prussia. —The following order of the day to the army, has been published: “At the moment the war broke out betwee n the two neighboring great powers, I had ordered J the army to be placed in readiness for war, in j order to maintain that position of power which i belongs to Prussia. The danger which threat ened us, then, is over. While you were st ill marching to occupy the positions I had ordered for you, the belligerent powers concluded peace. Your advance has shown our firm resolution to maintain our frontiers and those of Germany in violate. Whatever might be the destinies of war, you have shown the readiness I expected from you, and have maintained, in general, a dignity worthy of Prussia. You have made many personal sacrifices, and I express to you my full satisfaction. “Signed, The Prince Regent of Prussia.” The Prussian Gazette says: General Field Marshal Wrangel has been relieved from the command-in-chief of the army, which was to have been concentrated on the Rhine. Fraxce. —The Emperor arrived at St. Cloud on Sunday morning, the 17th inst. The Em press witli the Imperial Prince, and the ladies and officers of the household, were in waiting to receive him. For more than an hour, at the railway station, the little Prince wore hi 3 cor poral’s uniform, and had a laurel crown in his hand ready to give his father on "liis arrival.— As soon as the Emperor arrived, he kissed the Empress, then took the Imperial Prince in his arms, and held him for some minutes. He after ward gave his arm to the Empress, and proceed ed in a carriage to the chateau. At noon, the Emperor attended Mass, and immediately after received his Ministers. The Emperor Napoleon had received the con gratulations of the diplomatic corps at the French Court. The Papal Nuncio was of course accord ing to custom, the spokesman of the united corps of Foreign Representatives. Great Britain. —The Duke of Somerset said the expediency of entering into arrangements for arming Ocean Mail Steamers had been under consideration, but as the Committee of Naval Officers, in 1852, reported against such a mea sure on the ground of expense, nothing had been done. A general survey had, however, been recently ordered of steam tugs and other vessels employed at the mouths of rivers, in order to ascertain how far they might be ren dered available for defensive purposes. In the Houso of Commons considerable pro gress was made in the Army and Navy Esti mates. In regard to the former, Mr. Sidney Herbert explained the present military position of the country and measures of defence. He expected one hundred Armstrong guns would be made this year, and two hundred before the end of the financial year. On the 15th, in both Houses, reference was made to the treaty of peace. Lord Derby point edly enquired if the King of Sardina was a party to the treaty, for it was understood that the Emperor of the French was his ally, not the principal in the quarrel Prussia. —The Prussian Gazette says that in consequence of the treaty of peace, orders had been transmitted to the troops on the march to halt at the respective places where they happen to be; also that the proposal made by the Prussian ambassabor to the Federal Diet, in regard to the Federal troops, had, under present circumstances, been withdrawn by the Prussian Government. China. —The Hong Kong mail of 21st May had reached England. The Hong Kong correspondent of the London Times says that Mr. Ward, the new American Minister, has left hero for Shanghae in the steamer Powhattan, where he will be joined by Mr. Bruce, who, w ith Admiral Hope, proceeds northward very shortly. Nothing is yet known as to the intentions of the French Minister, who is at Macao. It is understood that the English aud American Ministers will proceed to Pekin, an it is hoped their reception will be a friendly one. The Americans have chartered a light draught English steamer to carry their flag up to the Peiho. The gunboat expedition had started for Macao. Exchange had slightly advanced, and imports had been more active. Tea was firm but quiet in all the markets. The American steamers Mississippi, Pow hattan, and “Toewan,” were at Shanghae. JIAKRIED.
