Continental Notes. Religious Persecution...
ewski and Persigny , the formation of a foreign n , the addresses recently-received by Napoleon from Poles , and the publication of those addresses in the ch official organ . " The Trench Emperor is taunted having proved himself " impotent" in the Crimea , ivith desiring to find another battle-field . It is then ested that the onl y protection against this danger is tie German Cabinets , and more especially those of iia and Berlin , to ally themselves -with Russia , and
annihilate these revolutionary movements . But , without such an alliance , Russia is prepared to aclish her duty as a " Conservative power . " eat sensation has been caused in Hanover by the nd of Count Reculot , the French envoy , for peron to march a body of Imperial troops through the iverian territory , considerable inconvenience having felt last year in sending them by sea . It is thought ihe Hanoverian Government will grant the request . nilar request will , it is anticipated , be made to
ua . e execrable piece of despotism by which the Haml Senate sought to extinguish the liberty of the and of which we gave an outline last week , has , iry to our expectations , been rejected by the jrschaft , or Lower House , by an immense majority , jnfess we were not prepared for such a result ; but joice in it none the less . The representatives of sople have done themselves immortal honour , and vindicated their claim to be considered among the lardians of German liberty . The conduct of the 3 has been singularly shabby and disreputable . g advantage of the absence of several members of iirgerschaft , owing to the Whitsuntide holidays ,
suddenly—that is to say , with only four days ' —presented not merely this bill for the extinction press , but several very heavy money bills . Their is , however , have happily been defeated , orrespondent of the Daily News writing from Ham-Mi the 1 st of June says : — The Hamburg police rities have thought proper to seize a British subject picion of being engaged in enlisting recruits , and erate him in the prison called the Winserbaum . ler there is any evidence against him , I am unable at present ; but , on the case becoming known to ; 1 Hodges , the British Consul-General and Charge
ires , he , with his usual spirit and determination of : ter , has taken the matter in hand , and requires i"be set at liberty , not only as being a British sub-> ut as belonging to her Majesty ' s war-steamer Lieutenant Glover , now lying in the Elbe . If the urg authorities make any difficulties about giving ) , and indemnifying the supposed agent for false onment and loss of time , it is not unlikely that our il consul will telegraph home to have a few British corvettes sent to the Kibe ; and the very mention iv . me of a blockade will probably be sufficient to the authorities hero to reason . "
insurrection of the Cossacks of the Ukraine ( says : r from Brussels quoted in the Times ' ) , instead of suppressed , is said , on the contrary , to assume r proportions . If I may credit what is aflirmed y persons said to be well informed , it extends to 20 , 000 men or more , most of whom are armed , accounts coincide with others which give a sad deon of the condition to which the inhabitants are d in several parts of the Russian empire by the cics of the war . I am decidedly of opinion that insurrection continues , or increases , it ought to i our system of carrying on the war , as well as r our policy . If wo considered it to be our duty ifice tho Polisffaiul Tartar nsitionalitids to the hope uining the alliance of Austria , ought we not to
ur . pystein at . a moment when , on the one hand , an alliance seems to be indefinitely adjourned—Germany arms the federal fortresses which arc iontiguous to . France than to Russia—and when , i other hand , the Polish and Tartar provinces , spirit , is not to be doubted , may find themselves by the instrumentality of tho Ukraine revolt ? ; h case , nearly one-half of the Russian empire bo on our side . aasent of the King of Sardinia has been given to onvont Bill ; so that measure has now become iV of the land , nnd a list , of ( lie convoiits intended uppressed under its provisions having been already cd , will be shortly published . The Legislative i of JHo-l-f > has been closed .

The swonl-l > enror and glass coach ndeed absent , and for tlio honour of our civic

" //¦<; du Di . c-nentrioinc has lately appeared , and 111 " first volume eniipassage , stating that tho 1 ' iincoss do Diuo has
been . seen riding- on a crupper behind Cossacks . This the princess ( now the ' Princess de Sagan ) considers derogatory of her dignity , arid has petitioned the king for the suppression of the work . That , however , not being feasible , she is about to commence an-action for defamation . The standard of morality in the Teutonic blue blood seems to have been raised since the days of Catherine of Amhalt-Terbst . 7 % erethey were not particular to a Cossack or ttvo . The last plan of Austria for the settlement of the Eastern question Is said , by a writer from the spot , to have proposed a special treaty between the Porte and Russia , which should determine the question of the limitation of the Russian and Ottoman forces in the Black Sea , with the obligation of a sort of European guarantee in favour of Turkey , in case of any attempt by Uussia against her integrity or independence .
A telegraphic despatch from Caghari announces the death of the Bey of Tunis on the night of the 1 st of June . His successor and cousin , Sidi Mohamed Bey , ascended the throne without obstacle . " Martial law proclaimed in the Principalities , and Bucharest in a state of siege ( says a letter from Constantinople of the 24 th ult . ) , have produced here a most painful effect . Count Coronini acts precisely as if he were in a conquered country . Lord Stratford must now repent having urged the Porte to the Convention of the 15 th of June , which , as I have often told you , has been considered as a second treaty of Balta-Liman . "
Letters from Oporto , with regard to the approaching crop of grapes in the Douro , continue to express unfavourable anticipations from the progress of the vine disease . The season is stated to be three weeks more backward than usual , and uncertain weather still prevailed . It is also asserted that the vin « s look much weaker , and the show of fruit is small and sickly , and that the oi'dium is general throughout the country , and at least a fortnight earlier than last year . Mr . Charles Bkahaji gave a concert at the Salle Ilerz , Rue de la Victoire , Paris , on Tuesday evening last , for the purpose of introducing himself to a Parisian audience . The attendance was numerous and brilliant ,
and the impression produced by Mr . Braham unequivocal . Mr . Braham ' s voice is an extremely rich and pure tenor ; he sings with taste , and his career in Italy has tended to develop his considerable dramatic power . In singing some of Tamberlik ' s choicest morceaux from II Trovatore to a select Paris audience needed some courage ; but Mr . Braham passed through the trial successfully . It was whispered about the Salle that Rossini had placed himself in a private box , but if so , the stores were rigorously kept down . Mr . Braham , it is said , will be offered an engagement at the Grand Opera next
season . A letter dated " Constantinople , May 25 , " written by an eminent functionary there , contains details which may be found particularly interesting by all those who have taken part in the last loan . It appears that the late Seraskier ' s party is actively intriguing at Constantinople . Rescind Pacha , instead of setting out for his post at Vienna , prefers remaining on the spot , hoping for a speedy revenge . In the meanwhile he pockets 125 , 000 piastres per month as ambassador in jxirtilnts infidel'ivm , whilst his second son , First Secretary of the
Embassy , gets 30 , 000 , and Scli Bey , the youngest , 15 , piastres per month . All this time , Omar Pacha and his valiant army are left without pay ; the sum due to these brave soldiers amounts to fifty four millions ; and certain corps of the army have not yet received a farthing for twelve or even eighteen months . As for the new cabinet , it continues " ajhire le mort , " awaiting the arrival of Aali Pacha from Vienna . In a postscript , the writer adds : — " I have just been informed of tho acceptance by Aali Pacha of tho high post offered to him . "— Daily Newts . Brigandage continues in Greece . Thcssaly is agitated .

ASCOT RACES . The Ascot Uncos this year have proved a failure .

Our Civilisation. Samuex Seal, Who Was L...
OUR CIVILISATION . Samuex Seal , who was last week charged at the Mansion House Avith unlaAvfully possessing a quantity of granulated gold , was on Saturday brought up for further examination , and again remanded . A Money-loving Inamorato . —Robert M'Laren , a smooth-faced youth , of barely twenty , having been brought up from his early years with a Miss Mary Ann Hill , forms an attachment , apparently of a tender kind , and promises to marry the said Mary Ann . This is agreed to on all sides , including parents and friends ; and the thing is talked about as a settled matter . On Wednesday week the young lady became of age , and receiA'ed , under the Avill of her grandmother , a legacy of 200 / ., Avhich Avas paid to her in two one hundred pound notes . One of these notes Miss Hill at once handed
over to the swain , Avho appears to have thereupon vanished Avith mysterious suddenness , leaving Miss Hill to get home from the City the best Avay she could by herself . Some time afterwards , hoAvever , he called at her mother ' s house , and stated that he wanted to purchase a cab business , for which it Avas necessary that he should liave an additional iive-and-tAventy pounds . Miss Hill , in consequence , handed over to him the other hundred pound note , and received what she supposed to be seventy-live sovereigns in exchange ; but a subsequent examination shoAved that there were only fiftyseven . On Thursday Aveek M'Laren left the neighbourhood ; on Sunday evening he Avas given into custody ; and on Monday he appeared at the Lambeth Police-,. ( , iirt . Miss Mill then admitted that she had placed tho
change which had been given her in a very strange place—namely , betAveen the rafters in the coalhole of the house , to which several persons have access , and that alio had not previously counted the sovereigns . Tho prisoner ' s own father , however , appeared against him , and stated that , although only a we « k before he had promised his mother on her death-bed that he would marry Miss Hill , he iioav openly declared that he avouIcI do no such thing . The father also stated , or aoknowledged in answer to questions , that his son had already undergone six months' imprisonment for felony . Iwo the
other witnesses spoke to having heard prisoner say that ho had received the money , and that it was not his intention to marry Miss Hill . On the other side , a friend Avas called to show that M'Laren had , in iuct , purchased two cabs and two horses ; but certain circumstances scorned to render it probable that he was paying court to the witness ' s daughter , though tins was denied . Tho youth was remanded lor a week , homo rather edify ! J sp ^ inn . ns of "Our Civilisation are ottered , n this <¦««« : a lover who gets money from h . s sweetheart an 1 < Lrt . her ; a young lady who gives her " intended " " /„ ni . sto . lv « . fU a f , days' suspic . on ; and a father who vohmtarilv appears against his own son , in order to
