COST TINE SfTAI , NOTES . A becent statement that M . de Foaton , the Russian Minister at Hanover , has been appointed to act also for Russia at BTamburgy Bremen , and Lubeck , is said to be incorrect ; M . C .

The other general diplomatic arrangements of Russia n 6 w are , that- Baron Brunow acts at Darmstadt and the Germanic Confederation , M . de Kisseleff at Rome , Prince Gprtschakoff at Vienna , M . de Titoff at Stutgardt , and M . de Fonton at Hanover and Oldenburg , M . de Balabini , formerly at Paris , takes M . de Fonton ' s place as Councillor of the Embassy at Tienna .
Some correspondence found on the dead body of a Carlist chief discloses a few particulars connected with the designs and objects of the late insurrection . The movement wss to take place simultaneously in various parts of the northern provinces ; the Count de Montexnolin was to be at the head , and his brother Don Juan was to have the cbief command in Catalonia . The writers , however , complain-that * while- a great deal of money was being Enpent , the people did not appear
correspondingly earnest in the Carlist cause . — Tbe band of rebels commanded Toy- the brothers Hierroa are following a brigaadish- life in Old Castile ; and the Captain-General of th « province has commanded the inhabitants of tho villages i to give immediate notice of- the arrival of Cariists , under certain penalties . A watchman is to be kept constantiy in the church-tower of each village . The Carlists , on their side , threaten vengeance on < all wlio betray them .
Andalusia , Navarre , and Aragon , are suffering greatly from choleral The Times Madrid correspoudeat eaye that General ^ Shelley and all hifl family have been oorried-off by it at their country seat neaar Seville . We continue to hear , through the ; neutral states of Germany , accounts of the distressed condition of-the landed pwiprietors and- of the mercantile classes of Roama . Tie r « sttftction « placed upon commerce by the bloekttdei ; ttoe large draught * made from the serfj * , or lamtL- » cultivatlng ; classes , in order to keep up the army to tho requisite standar & f and the constantly-increasing burden o £ taxation , are all ' working- thehr effect upon the very life ' of fduesiaf and producing a eense of depression and alftnni . " We cannot hold out agaiiut this blockade another year , '" is a remark which is said to be now'constantly Inade .-

The same paper contradicts officially th & statement of th * Cologne Gaaette , that Baron Hubner had been recalled from Paris , and Baron de Bourqueney f rom Vienna ; The news of the fire at Novgorod is contradicted . It is to * Wladimir , in the goveruinent of Volhynia , that the statement applies . The Arabs of the pachalic of Tripoli have revolted . A body of Turkish troops sent against them were driven back into the city with » loss of from 1700 to 2000 . memorial to the
M . Paoheco is about to present a Spanish Government on the differences-with the court of Seme , and a circular will be sent to foreign courts . Some troubles , said to be not of political origin , havo broken out at Badajoz , but have been appeased . De Felici , who attempted the life of Cardinal AntonelH , was ' decapitated at Koine on the 11 th inst- lie made no confession . It will be particularly gratifying to the English public to learn that the Grand Duke of Tuscany ' s last victim , tbe wretched Cecchetti , who was imprisoned for the crime of reading- the Bible with his own family , and whose sentence was commuted to exile on the application of the British Minister at Florence , has-arrived iu Turin ; and the Piedmontese Government , at the instance of Mr .

Several Mazzinian plots have , it is said , beon discovered int various-parts of Italy , and a simultaneous movement , with a republican and democratic object , is dreaded by the authorities . In Naples , the Governuwsnt is agitated by feaars of a politico-military revolt . The Neapolitan Government is showing its sympathy with Russia by immediately publishing any news unfavourable to the Allies , and keeping back as long as possible their" « uecesses . The affair of the Black Warrior , long pending between the Governxwrrtt of the United States and that of S ]> ain , has at last bee * settled . The amount to be paid by the Spanish Government by way of indemnity , for -which 300 , 000 dollars was asked at first , has been reduced to 40 , 000 dollars , which Spain has agreed to pay in order to put au end to the question .
An Imperial Russian ukase ( says a telegraphic despatch from Berlin ) forbids the Jews to settle as agriculturists or to purchase land in the Governments of Tchernigeff and Poltawa . It is reported that the local boards of administration in Poland are to be dissolved and incorporated with the Government- offices at St . Petersburg . Marshal Paskiewitsch is understood to have expressed a desire to withdraw from office . Political offenders are subjected to martial law in Poland . A communication from Marseillea of July 24 th states that-the conditions relative to the guarantee of the loan by the Turkish Government have been exchanged between the Porte , Lord Stratford , and M * Benedetti . The 6 , 000 , 0007 . have been lent by Rothschilds at six per cent , interest . The Duke of Newcastle and Omar Pacha have arrived at Constantinople .
A long despatch from Baron ManteufFel to Count Arnim , dated July * 5 th , has been published . With a degree of misty circumlocution which is perfectly marvellous , the Baron says—or seems t ^ say—that the position of Prussia remains , and will remain ,-unchanged ; that she still refuses to participate in the treaty of December 2 nd ; that she cannot approve of all the objects of the Western Alliance ; tl * at she agrees with the first two points , without binding herself to all four ; and that she will < bo constantly prepared to defend , by arms if necessary , the interests-of Germany from all attacks . The Pays contradicts the report of Count Walcwski . having announced to tho French diplomatic agents that tho Western Powers no longer feel themselves bound by , the four guarantees . As , however . Lord Polmcrston - has repudiated , so far as England in concerned , these antiquated " points , " there can be little doubt that the French Government has in- fact done the same .
Ethem Pacha has been sent on another mission to the Crimea * The Porte has accepted the conditions proposed by France and England for the guarantee , of tho loan to bo contracted by the Ottoman Government . Tho French Emperor and Empress have left for the Pyrenees , but will shortly return to- Paris . Half of Chamouni has been destroyed byt fire : fortunately , no lives havo been lost . In reference to this melancholy visitation , Mr . Albert Smith has expressed his readiness to receive any subscriptions , however small , for tho presont aid of the poor and excellent
! people of the village . These sums are to be sent to tho . Box-ofllco of the Egyptian-hall . Tho natives of tho Danubian Principalities resident in i Paris have sent an address to Lord Clarendon , in which they express their mortification that the Allies did not arm tho Danubian population against liuttsia ; that a " Romance" woa not present at- the Conferences at Vienna j and that their country remains iu the solo occu-( patioaof Austria . They ; also protect against anything being , done in future in referonco to the Priiioi i mlitie /) ' without the previous < con 6 ent of the-JPrincipulltios .

" HtttE PAHtK oiqr St 7 itt > AT . —There wash slight gathering in the Patfc last Sunday ; but it was of the feeblest possible nature , and the peoplo soon dispersed , without doing any mischief . Tho Sunday " demonstrations" are probably now extinct . AsnetticA . —Mr . Jefferson Davis has recently been makirtg a speech , in Mississippi , on the Cuban question . He is stilted to havo observed that" he would on the first pretext raise tho standard of the United States in Cuba ; hintirtg'thaf tho present time offers a good opportunity , as the European Powers are engnged in war . Several Germans have petitioned the President to interfere in theirfarour , in oTder to rescue them from the English Government , which , they allege , has induced them to go to Nova Scotia under the false pretence of giving them work , and has then imprisoned them because of tlreir refusal to enlist in the Foreign Legion . From California we hear that the prosperous mining town of Auburn has beon almost entirely destroyed by fire , ami that a serious conflagration had also occurred at San Francisco . All remained quiet at Cuba at the liUest dates ; bnt the news from Mexico represents Santa Anna as being in a very grave position , and tho insurrectionary army as growing every day stronger and more successful . A gale has destroyed in the harbour of Mazatlnn several English merchant vessels with valuable cargoes . Colonel Walker mid his party from San Francisco have-, according to one account , taken San Juan del Sur without resistance ; but another report states that the invaders wore defeated . The question between Paraguay and Brazil has been settled amicably .
MrsTEKiors Dkatii . —A very painful and oiwurc case has been recently investigated before the coroner at Great Bunion , near Darlington . Afrs . Wooler , the wife of a gentleman of considerable property , was taken ill early in last May , and was attended by Dr . Jackson , who , after a time , suspected , from certain symptoms which he observed , that his patient was taking small doses of arsenic . Mr . Wooler being dissatisfied with Dr . Jackson's treatment , two other medical gentlemen wCTe called in , both of whom ultimately entertained the same suspicions as those which had already occurred to Dr . Jackson ; and they were afterwards confirmed by an analytical examination . An antidote was given , by consent of nil the three medical gentlemen ; but Mrs . Wooler died on the 27 th of June from tetanic spasms .
Her husband agreed to a post-mortem examination , which disclosed the presence of arsenic . From tho fact of Mr . Wooler having often administered the medicines witli his own hands , and from his having been . * ecn by Dr . Jackson with a medicine basket containing arsenic , a painfnl feeling was aroused , and Mr . Wooler was himself examined at the inquest . Dr . Ilcnzell , one of the medical attendants , said that . Mr . Wooler had often exhibited a degree of pleasure at hearing of unfavourable symptoms , and that he received the news of his -wife ' --death with groat coolness ; but several other witnes > es gave precisely opposite testimony , and the- medicine basket , which was produced , was not found to contain any poison . Tho jury accordingly returned au open verdict .
Thk Statue or Sib Bobkbt Peei ., . at tlie west end of Cheapside , was on Saturday uncovered to the view of tho public . A few _ City gentlemen wero present ; but there was no ceremony . Tiik Eaiu < or A _ ntjum died on the night of Wednesday week at his ancestral castle iu Ireland , in the fortyfourth year of his age . Tiik Wiwt Inuiks . —The latest news from tho West IndicH is devoid of interest . The Lsluuds , with the exception of Porto liico and St . Thoinas , where yellow fever was making severo ravages , were healthy , but . tmdo was extremely dull . An English commercial Hcliooner , tho Charles , and a brig , the Atrato , have bten lout , but only one life was sacrificed .

Au act , puasod in 1862 , would uluo comu into operation on tho JJIst of August , 1865 , compelling the metropolitan water companion deriving thoir supply from tho Thames to take that nupply from abovu Tuddingtoii Lock , and beyond the tidal influence Government would tuko flteiw to havo the act enforced .
