The Australian May mails were delivered in London on the 20th and 26th of July. The Queen is in good health at Osborne, &nd ihe Empress Engenie and Queen of Prussia have made private visits to her. The Princess of Wales has almost eniirely recovered. The Universities Tests Abolition Bill l»en rejected in the House of Lords by «eventy-four against forty-six. 95f R. Phillmore has been appointed -Judge of the Admiralty Court, vice Dr. Lushington, resigned. The Elcho Challenge Shield has been "won at Wimbledon by the EiigUsh Volunteers over those of Scotland by one point. Atlantic cable of 1866 is broken. Sultan of Turkey, Viceroy of Egypt, and 3,t)00 Belgian volunteers have spent a fortnight in England. Their reception was costly and magnificent — naval review was a success. The Sultan was invested by Her Majesty with an Order of the Garter. He expressed his admiration of Britain's naval powers. On leaving England he presented £2,500 to the indigent poor of London, and publicly stated that as a metropolis London was the pride of civilisation. He afterwards telegraphed his gratitude to the Queen, Prince of Wales, and English Nation, for the hearty reception he met with. The ball given in his honor at the India House was unparalled in splendour ; 2,500 guests were present. Miss Burdett Coutts gave a splendid/ef c to Belgian volunteers — 12,000 persons were present. Latest telegrams announce that the Island of Candia has submitted to Turkey. The passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Commons caused much joy among the Radicals. The Household suffrage is absolute, and they declare will place millions of working men on register. Privy Council has delivered judgment in Bertrand's case. They find that no miscarriage of justice had taken place, and judgment to the Chief Judge of New Sonth Wales must be affirmed. Appeal is sustained with costs, and an order for new trial reversed. Fenian excitement in Ireland and America has subsided. There have been no party risings of late, and one Fenian has been captured. Iniquitous proceedings of Trade Unions of Sheffield in blowing up workshops, &c, are now fully exposed. Rumors of probable Continental war have seriously affected prices of securities. English funds have fallen 4 per cent., and French German and Italian securities half per cent. Financial difficulties of France, Italy, and Germany, however, will probably prevent Continental war at present. England declares that her policy wiH be one of neutrality unless she is interfered with. Her revenue is in a flourishing state, and a splendid harvest is expected though there has been a general rise in the corn market of from 3s. to 4s. per quarter owing to shortness of supply. It is hoped Austria will enter freely into this trade. Statements by Panama mail that Russia had called attention of England, France and America to condition of Ireland is untrue. OBITUARY.
