Charlottetown, July 28, 1856.

The Manchester Examiner of July 12, says-

JOHN RIGG

It is stated that Milford Haven has been selected as

the port of departure for America of a line of steamers left Liverpool for New York.

News by the English Mall.

The Queen, to show her appreciatin of the Pre- mier, has been graciously pleased, as the phrase is, to confer mi him the blue ribnnil—-tlie insignia of of the order of the Garter. The importance of this triﬂe is enhanced from the circumstance that it has not been worn by a commoner during the last forty years. It appears that in I8l6, it was bestowed upon one of the most worthless ministers that ever ruled England, the late Lord Castlereagh, and the honour even in his case was eirceptiona|,as the gar- ter, during the long reign of George the Third, had been almost exclusively reserved for persons who stood much higher in the peerage than Irish vis- counts,—tlie titles alike of Palmerston and Castle- reagh. But the event has a political signiﬁcance, When the present Premier was at the foreign-oﬂice, ﬁve or six years back, the sympathy towards him on the part of the Crown was not quite so intense. At that time he was held to be so “ fast ” that neither the head of the Government, Lord John Russell, nor the Queen herself could moderate his pace. To keep him in check, her Majesty deter- mined to read all his despatches to foreign courts before they were forewarded, so as to prevent the nation from being brought to the verge of war through his personal eapricc. Those who recollect the withdrawal of Lord Palmerston from Lord John Russell's cabinet on this very ground, and his speedy upsetting ot the rickety vehicle which he had left, will see in the bestowal of the blue riband how affairs have since changed.

An-appalling calamity has just occurred near Cardiff, in South Walcs—an explosion in a mine, by which more than a hundred lives have been sacriﬁced. Accidents of this description have been less frequent of late than previously, which we were disposed to attribute to the action of the Govern- ment, who appointed a number of inspectors, with good salaries. to visit from time to time all the mines in the country. We perceive that the official inspec- tor ofcollierics, Mr. Evans, was on the spot, and the coroner’s inquest will no doubt bring out the facts of the case. We have rarely read a more painful record than the narrative of this dreadful calamity presents. Even the appearance of the dead bodies in which life had been destroyed by the tire, not the choke-damp, was horrid in the extreme.

The Parliamentary Session is rapidly drawing to a close, and every thing which stands in the way of that event is made to yield. As we anticipated, the Matrimonial Causes and Divorce Bill has been withdrawn, and various other measures which ought to have been the features of the Session. When the wind-up comes, it will be seen how little has been consumed about-—nothing Even Mr. Lowols Partnership Bill,—the only feature of it, we mean, commercial people cared a rush,—-that of enabling a man to advance money to a concern on the se- curity of a portion of the proﬁts‘ without being re- garded in the light of a partner, has been rejected on very strange grounds—the personal unpopulurity ofMr. Lowe. It was thought by many in the House

Whilst near the Black

that this misadventure served Mr. Lowe, whose vanity is said to be excessive. This was not, of course, the avowed, btit it is whispered to have been the real motive, and astrange one it is to influence grave members of the senate. The disfavour in which Mr. Lowe is held was turned to a practical purpose by the opponents of the Bill, including all the great capitalists in Parlianicnt.
