Oats fetched lat. to 13d. per stow. The harvest is proceeding very wall. WORCIITII, Aug. 21.-Our market to-day was ain liberally supplied with new Wheat, which sold at Be. Bd. It 7s.

Oats were in far request at former prices. Beans were inquired for. Peas, 2s, per qr. lower. • Twin, Aug, 21.-Since Tuesday the weather has been most kayo/able for harvest operations and we have now • great breadth of corn cut and ready for Carting. At this day's market a few samples of the new crop are showing, and the quality is very floe. New Wheat is offering at Be. to 625. per 03 lbs., but the millers buy very cautiously. New Oats r immediate delivery are selling at 12.0. to i 3d. per stone. Wheat, whits, 60e. to 665. per imp. qr.; red, 66a. to 60s. • Malt 76e. to 78s.

MIMI" Aug. 20. -The amount of business transacted In oar market to-&y was comparatively trifling, in consequence of the absence of the farmers, who were busily engaged in getting in the corn harvest. Prices may be quoted the same as last week. DUBLIN, Aug. 20.-The weather during the week has been mod propitious for the harvest, and we have had at our market a large supply of now Oats, and • considerable number of sampler of new Wheat and Bere, The quality and condition of the Oats and Bere are excellent, but the Wheat so far is scarcely equal to the early receipts of last yew. We reduce our quotations for new Wheat and Oats, Is. to 2s. per barrel, but new Bere and Rapeseed fully main tain their value; and Flour commanded rather more money. Indian Corn is 2s. per qr. lower. The following was the general currency (or new grain: Wheat, white, 275. to 305.; red, Mt to 28e. per 280 lbs. Oats, 9s. to I Is. per 1961b5. Ear , 13e. to 154. per 224 lbs .

Indian Corn, per qr. of 480 lbs., 20s. to 30s. Extras?, Aug. 19.-The weather continues favourable, and the crop, are all progressing as well aa sunshine and heat can make them. A few fields of Oats have been cut down in this neighbourhood, but as yet we are a fortnight distant from a general harvest. There is no doubt but the disease of last season has again partially shown itself in our Potato crop, and it is yet to be seen whether or not it will spread to any extent; the feeling is, however, pretty geaeral, that we cannot depend on the Potato crop this season. The arrivals this week consist of nine cargoes foreign, and three coastwise. Wheat.-A few parcels of farmers Nt heat appear and meet • dull sale, at a decline of ls. per cwt. below the rata of lest week. Flour Our millers have reduced their prices 2a. per cwt this week, and is in limited demand. American sells at 265. to 28s. per bbl. Barley nominally unchanged in value. We have • small supply of old Oats from the country, which sell slowly, at a reduc tion of 6d. to Ls. per cwt. Ws have a few parcels of new Oats at market, in rather good condition, and they *ell at 7s. 3d. to 85. 6d. per cwt. The market is well supplied with Oatmeal, and, the demand being slack, prices may be quoted Is. per cwt. lower : a small parcel of new brought 16a. per ewt. Indian Corn and Meal are • slow sale, as under Prime Corn, 61. 15a. to 71. ss. ; Keel, 81. to 81. 10s. per ton. Coax, Aug. 20.-The little new Wheat that has appeared at our market is exceedingly fine, both as respects qua lity and condition. The new Here and Oats also are vary . good, while as regards Potatoes (the only crop re porting which serious apprehensions were entertained) the reports we receive are, on the whole, encouraging. Altoge ther, therefore, our prospects for the coming year are cheer ing indeed. The article of Bore excepted, the receipts of which are tolerably large, our supplies of home grain are still very light, and indeed are likely to continue so for • few weeks longer. Those of foreign continua to a moderate ex. tent. The few barrels of new Wheat on offer and purchasers at 265. per barrel. Prepared parcels of old Wheat are, owing to the depressed state of the Undo, entirely neglected, and swims therefore are only nominal. Bore is purchased for distillers' use at prices varying from I Is. to 12.5. 2d. per barrel, the tendency being upwards. For Oats in the early part of the week, as high as 13s. 6d. per barrel was paid, but the receipts having increased somewhat, prices have declined from Is. to 21. on the week. The demand for Flour is con lined altogether to fresh-manufactured samples, which are in fair consumptive request. AU other descnptions are com paratively neglected. Indian Meal moves off slowly in retail quaatities, the consumption of the article being mush affected by the supply of Potatoes. Indian Corn is little inquired for, the dealers, in the present uncertain position of the trade, hold ing off from purchasing. The aspect of the trade is exceed ingly gloomy, distrust and suspicion interfering to produce • complete paralysation of all business. We have for this sea son no banner to report but that arising out of immediate necessity. This state of things, too, appears likely to con tinue until the panic shall have subsided and confidence been restored amongst the mercantile community. We look then to • healthy reaction in trade and a large business, as with moderate prices (which we seem likely to have) we antici pate a greatly increased consumption of all bread-stuffs. - - NIIVILT, Aug. 20.-Prices still downward, particularly in machine-manufactured Oatmeal, which has now receded to a figure somewhat approaching its value in other years. The prize now is 13s. 6d. to 145. per cwt. Country descrip tions were forward in some quantity, at our market yester day, bat up to an advanced hour no sales were reported. In the afternoon, however, a few bags of prime old were dis posed of, for immediate use, at 15s. to 16s. per cwt. Flour, hoses-manufacture, sells at 21s. per cwt. for first ; second, 18s.; third, 15s. • sad fourth. 12.. American remains at 295. per banal ; Ind Indian Corn Meal at Be. per cwt, al though Ba. 341. was reported yesterday for best qualities. At these rates the market is stated this morning, to be unusually dell. New Oats, of excellent quality, sold yesterday at 9d. to 90. per et., with a fair supply forward. Old, for feeding, brought 10d. to 12d. per stone. 81.isso, Aug. 21.-Our markets decline daily. Oatmeal, 14s. per cwt. ; Indian Meal, 8.. to 9s. per cwt. American Flour, 38s. per barrel. Warazroan, Aug. 21. - Although oar arrivals from abroad during the week have been trifling, prices of all kinds of grain and Flour have declined considerably, owing to the continuance of most splendid weather, and the dull accounts from the English means. Sales of Wheat, Oats, and Bar ley have been on a very limited scale ; quotations are there fore almost nominal. For Indian Corn there has been Inactive demand throughout the week, at a decline of Is. to 2s. per barrel. Indian Meal is cheaper by Is. per sack; at this reduction the sale is exceedingly slow. Flour has been purchased rather more freely, at a decline of 3s. te 4s. per sack. Wheat, millers', Irish, per 29 stone 235. te 255. ; foreign, 30s. to 375.

Dainstc, Aug. 14.-Our corn market has been quite de- serted the last few days, and hardly any samples are offer- The few lots unsold are brought into granary, and we think holden will be firm. Good mixed, 611 be. to 621b5., perhaps mar fetch 53e. to 545. The weather i is very fine, and harvesting of Rye and Barley goes on rapdly. Genoa, Aug. 13.-Importations of Wheat during last month, and up to the present time, have been very consider able,-sto less than 170,000 in., out of which some 140,000 have paidduty for consumption, which up to the Ist inst. Wes only 50 centimes, or Is. per qr., and since then 3 liv., or Os. per qr.

In the parish of F'arnham, on the land which exhausted itself last year in producing so great a crop, the bine is weak ; the burr rather sickly ; the leaves curled, and of a dusky-brown colour, indicating as unhealthy state: but on the rich " Heart Ground," and in other plantations on towards Alton, some fine gardens are to be seen, promising a good crop. At Froyle, Bentley, and other villages around, the reports vary, some growers speaking deploringly of their prospect, others stating that they shall have as good a yield &sleet season. The pickings expected to be quite es early as last year, if fine weather continues. The duty for what is called the Farnham district is variously estimated from six to eight thousand pounds, that sum not being much above half the duty of last year. WOOL.—AmnoyER, Aug. 21.—For the best Teg and long-Wools some business was: done at 13d. per lb., and a fraction more in two er three instance'; mixed with Ewe and other Wools, from Id. to 2d. per lb. less money ; accord ing to quantity of inferior, from 11d. to 12d. per lb. the ge neral prices. _ _ • • • - WARMINIITEB., Abg. 21.—Beven1 commission dealers offering for the Bradfird, MeWham, and Trowbridge manu facturers; for best Teg, Down, and long-Wool, of first-rate quality, 13d. per lb. ; second quality, 12d. to 124 d. ; half- Teg, mixed with inferior, 11d. to 114 d. ; still inferior, ad. per lb. less. • • WINCHESTER, Aug. 21.—Prices do not appear to the, the best Teg Wools not reaching above I3d. per lb. ; long- Wools, 12ad. ; half-Teg, mixed with other Wools, 11{d.; three-fourths common, Ild. ; some more inferior, 100. LIYERPOOL, Aug. 21.—There has not been much done in foreign Wool, the stock being small, and affording a poor selection ; prices of all useful kinds are in consequence very firm. Scotch continues in limited request, although there is more desire to realise. Imports for the week ending Aug. 21 : Foreign, none ; previously, 42,451 bales; total 42,411 bales. Scotch, 315 bales ; previously, 6,686 bales ; total, 7,001 bales. CATTLE, &c. SMITHFIELD, Two o' Clock.— We have a considerably shorter , supply of Bouts to-day, and the weather is very favourable for slaughtering ; conse quently trade is brisk, and Friday's advance in price in firmly supported; in some instances our top quotations have been rather exceeded. From Holland and Germany we have nearly 600, about 500 from Lincolnshire, 1,500 from Leicestershire, and the remainder from various parts of the country. There is also a large falling off in the supply of Sheep, accounted for partly by the late rains, and partly by the non-arrival of foreign consignments. Trade is kids, at en advance of about 2d. per Me on all descriptions. Good Lamb is scarce, and maintains its price. The number of Calves is small ; they are read disposed of at an advance of about 2d. per Bibs . From Holland and Germany there are 3,690 Sheep, and 159 Calves. Pies are by no mean plentiful, and are selling at advanoed prices. IP*. woo 44 6 lb. a. 6 4.

Pool 12. Altervaseli win gre U. LONDON, MONDAY; A UG. 23. THE proceeding' in the monster trial of the Polish conspirators at Berlin have gained in interest slice their commencement. Whatever the result be for the parties immediately concerned, the publicity thus per mitted, for the first time in Prussia, to the discussion of a political offence, has had the good effect of probing to the quick the weakness of a state not based upon na tional affinities, material or intellectual, and of exposing its weakness. The defence set up by the Poles is a most ingenious one. They challenge the King's At torney-General to prove that any harm was intended to his Majesty's person. Even against the kingdom of Prussia the existence of any evil intention is denied. Nor will they allow that the conspiracy was directed against the King, as Grand Duke of Posen. The conspiracy to seize arms is not denied, but these arms, it is declared, were to have been used in a foreign land. Russia was the immediate enemy against whom all their efforts were directed, and the ulti mate object of their efforts was to effect the emancipation of Russian Poland. They pretend not to be answerable for any consequences that might result from such a change to Prussian Poland, and affect to treat the assumption that the revolt of Posen from Prussia would be its necessary consequence, as a reflection on the Prussian government which they did not venture to make. . _ Of course the validity of such a line of defence rests, as far as it is good for anything, on the non-amalga mation of Posen with the rest of the kingdom of Prussia—that is to say, upon the intentional cherishing of a Polish element beside, and distinguished from the Germanic elements of the rest of the kingdom. This question is, however, ene of wider scope than the quarrel between Poland and Prussia. The discussion , has excited intense interest, because it touches upon the vital principle of modern Gerjosan politics, and drags the machinations to light which have been so inimical to the popular cause. It is fresh in the memory of many that when the allied armies, in 1813, commenced the rapid career of victory which liberated the countries between Moscow and Paris from the French yoke, the celebrated Prus sian minister, VON STEIN, organised a mixed military and civil government in the districts which the French evacuated, and which he threw into circles without much regard to territorial boundaries, and with more attention to the convenience of situation and other administrative advantages. In the temper of the German people at the moment, who, for the first time, were solicited to defend their nationality .on the promise that they should receive political institutions of even a more liberal stamp than the French had tolerated, the disregard of petty court interests which this bold step of VON STEIN'S betrayed was highly popular. The people had been summoned to rise simultaneously, without regard to geographical limits. They felt the power which their agglomeration into large masses lent them. Thousands dreamt already of a re organisation of Germany and Austria as two mighty, independent, and, perhaps, confederated, states, of which FRANCIS I. and FREDERICK WILLIAM might be the constitutional chief'. At this moment, so critical for the future, the demon of the antiquated mistrustful policy instigated BERNSDORF and HARDENBERO to counteract the efforts of VON STEIN. It was easy to point out to the feeble-minded sovereign that under popular institutions the minister became more important than the monarch, and the popu larity of VON STEIN, who was idolised at the mo ment, was placed in invidious relief. Prince MET TERNICH never had any confidence in constitutional forms of government, and readily seconded the reaction which rapidly followed. The Emperor of Russia, although professing liberalism, was in reality terrified at the phantom of a Germanic empire based on popular elements. He seconded the claims of the minor sovereigns, whose tenures had become forfeited by their adhesion to the confederation of the Rhine. The Germans felt most keenly the abandonment of the liberal cause by the English representatives at Vienna, who, in the absence and incompetency of France daring the congress, most effectually served the French cause, and helped to carve up the dreaded empire into 36 principalities. This timid policy having been once victorious, the dread of popular movement went so far as to make it appear good policy to break up even such powers as Prussia into small divisions. The courts felt that they could only retain the unconstitutional power which they then claimed, by preventing all union between even the provinces of the same kingdom. Prussia, like Austria, positively reftised to execute the stipulation in the act of the congress, by which both were bound to provide for national representa tion. Both powers chose to institute provincial representations. And so effectually has this system of separation worked, that on the recent attempt to cen tralise the provincial diet, the people of Posen were no less averse to an amalgamation with the Germans' than the Germans were distrustful of too close an alliance with their Polish fellow-subjects. Thus, at the time of the revolt, there existed no people of Prussia, of whom the Poles of the grand duchy of Posen could be considered part and parcel. And yet the state accuser has ventured, in the ab sence of proof, to assert that the accused have been guilty, to coin a new term, of " treason against the country," notwithstanding the protest of the Poles, which denies that they were ever amalgamated with the Prussians. The novelty of the argument of the accused, the adroitness of some of the young advocates charged with the defence, and the eloquence displayed by some of the accused, themselves, espe cially by Count MIEROSLAWSEI, have attracted the attention of Europe to these pleadings. It will be a fortunate result if they tend to convince the sove reigns of Germany that the popular element is only dangerous when oppressively restrained, and that the free expression of opinion is the only effectual guard against conapirseies and secret tressons. The con clusion will then not lie far distant, that the tempo rary power of a minister is a pledge for the permanent safety of the sovereign, who, by dividing his influence, exempts himself from all responsibility, and, instead of a rival, raises but a scapegoat beside him for poli tical crises. THE great success of the county courts, to which we adverted the other day, suggests many points for consideration in reference to local judicatures. The writer in the Law lilagazine,to whose paper we then referred, after criticising the measure in a somewhat jealous tone, says, "we regard the entire measure as a means of expeditious justace, very beneficial to eom merce, and not necessarily injurious to efficient judi cature." He objects, however, that the j edges do not en courage argument before them, in "cases even of doubt and difficulty," and rather discountenance the employ ment of banisters as advocates in the county courts. Now in the common run of cases in the county courts the encouragement of argument, and of the ad mission of banisters as advocates, would nnquee tionably be an evil ; but there are cases of dif culty in which the employment of trained ad vocates would elucidate truth, assist the judge in coming to a right conclusion, and advance justice. It is quite right that the oasts of employing counsel should only be allowed in cases of difficulty or importance ; bat it would be well that the suitors ix these courts should some times have the aid of counsel. The business, too, will generally be better conducted where barristers accustomed to the regular course of the superior courts are in the habit of attend ing. An efficient bar goes far to keep the court right. In order to secure an efficient bar there must be the same advocates constantly attending each sitting of court, and to that the great extent of the circuits of the county courts' judges offers a considerable impediment. Either the advocates must take the same circuits, or there will only be the occasional retainer of a barrister upon some special case, and the business of the county courts is not math as to induce barristers to incur the colt of time and money which a regular attendance on the circuit implies. It is objected that even with regard to the judges themselves the circuits are toe large, and that business is often hurried over in a manner unfa vourable to the interests etjustioe. Indeed the ques tion has been raised, and is now awaiting the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, whether, according to the terms of the County Courts Act, there ought not to be a judge for every district created under the act, and whether the appointment of some sixty judges to 430 districts is not a contravention of the law. In what way this question may be decided by the court is not, perhaps, of much practical importance ; inasmuch, as a short declaratory act of parliament would enable the author of the County Courts Act to carry out his plan in the way be found most convenient. The obvious reason for comprising so wide a surface within the jurisdiction of a single judge is, that the small debt business of a narrow district would not afford the means of paying the salary of a com petent judge. It is quite clear that the smaller the district over which each judge presides the more completely will justice be localised, and the more readily will suitors find that professional aid they may require. But it is no less certain that the present jurisdiction of the county courts will not justify the assignment of limits much less than the present circuits to one judge. How then is the principle of the measure to be carried out ? How are we to obtain effective lawyers as judges, and confine them to manageable limits ? The same arrangement that effected this end would go far to facilitate the intro duction of an efficient bar into the county court. In the first place all the local bankruptcy and in solvency business should be transferred to the judges of the County Courts. But the princiml means of ob taining a judicature completely local and effective would be to assign to it all the authority now intrusted to justices of the peace. There is no evil in England more cryingthan our unpaid magistracy. The system is at once oppressive and ineffective. As criminal judges they are without public confidence, which they have never deserved to obtain, either from their knowledge or judicial impartiality. Indeed, in ndmi nisteririg the game laws they are more than suspected of deeming accusation and proof of guilt the same thing. Then, apart from all other rea sons, the unpaid magistrates are singularly incapable, and quite unfitted to discharge properly any id judicial functions. in the country , and may But it may be may be resorted to at any time, which would not be the case with a judge, who must, of course hold his court periodically. There is more of apparent than real utility in this, for all summonses, &c., now granted by a single justice might be as well granted by the clerk of the county court or other subordinate officer of the judge. That two or more justices should meet together in their private dwelling-houses, and there sit in judgment, ia a proposition so monstrous, that the withdrawal of that power will scarcely be urged as an objection to the substitution of a respon sible and legally educated judge for an unpaid magistracy. But, in truth, the country justices often perform capriciously or unwillingly their most ordinary duties. We recollect one justice in a western county, who would never attend to magisterial business after nine o'clock in the morning, and it frequently hap pened that farmers and others, who had eight or ten miles to ride to reach his worship's house, found themselves ten minutes behind the prescribed hour, and were obliged to go again the next day. We have moreover heard of numberless instances in which jus tices, disliking to be troubled at home, when they have seen persons coming apparently on justice bum nees, have walked out of the back-door, and were " not at home." Indeed, so strong is public opinion upon this subject, that we believe it would be difficult to meet with half a dozen persons, not being them selves squires and justices of the peace, who do not desire to see the duties, nominally or imperfectly executed by justices of the peace, transferred to some competent tribunal. The following passage from Mr. PIIILLIMOREN "Letter to the Lord Chancellor on the Reform of the Law," a vigorous pamphlet, by an able barrister, expresses very clearly the general feeling on this subject Tho next point is the constitution of the court of quarter sessions. There has been much ieclamation among persons never likely to have their honour or happiness affected by its jurisdiction, se to the advantage of fixing the attention of country gentlemen on the adminis tration of justice—the malignant purposes of those who wish the system altered—the horrors of the French revolution—the wisdom of the Norman legislators ; in short, upon every conceivable topic except the real questions, which are these: Is it important that a judge in this country, on matters involving the dearest rights of his fellow-citizens, should have a legal education ? May not questions quite so difficult ►rise at quarter sessions as in the crown court at the assizes before a judge on circuit ? Or, to bring the matter to a still shorter issue, let any of the advocates of the present mat anomalous system answer this question: Would you, knowing yourself to be innocent, choose to be tried by a chairman of quarter sessions or by a judge? The last question is an argumentum ad honsinem which is decisive. Who, indeed, if accused, would willingly be tried by the petty or quarter sessions? We doubt whether a squire would particularly like the tribunal in his own case, where it may happen to run counter to the class prejudices of the judges. A REFORMED rake is said to make the beet hus band. An awakened soaker is generally the moat effective BOANEROES of the tee-total meeting. And in the days of JONATHAN WILD it WWI an axiom at Bew street that an old thief made the most keen-scented and incorruptible of " runners." On a similar principle the late castle-ridden con stituency of West Gloucester having ousted the Frrz- HARDINGE nominee, straightway come out as the most peer-defying and liberty-loving of independent voters. In like manner Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, after wearing his chains for years as comfortably, to all appearance, as an old hulksman carries his bracelets at Woolwich, suddenly a pears as the unsubduable AJAX of West Glou , defying the thunder of the castle. One may concede much to the delirium of a newly-acquired freedom. There is something which irresistibly appeals to our sympathies in the fling-down of the head and fling-up of the heels with which a hard-worked old hack escapes from the halter into the deep clover of the pasture field. Every one is quite prepared to excuse the negroes for getting somewhat excited on the Ist of August, or the Americans on the 4th of June. . _ _ In the same spirit of indulgent tolerance we look on the ebullition of the triumphal entry into Cole ford with its accompaniments of arches, bouquets, ladies' smiles, bands, banners, and groups of children with green boughs. The West Gloucester constituency seem to revel in their new freedom, as one of Womn w ELL'S alligators might be expected to do if suddenly restored to the Nile of his forefathers. They have never known what it was to be free before, but like ducklings take to the waters of political independence with sa instinctive relish, the moment they chip the shell in which they have hitherto submitted to be sat upon by the Earl Finn/ammo& And u the constituency so is the representative. The health of " our now unfettered member " is proposed at the Feathers, cheered by the diners within, caught up by the mob without, and carried through the town on the wings of popular enthusiasm. Mr. BRANTLEY BERKELEY'S speech is redolent of a new power. He crows, and spreads his wings like a game-cock suddenly let out of a basket. He stretches his phrases as a man stretches his arms after wear ing handcuffs. He brags of the independence of the electors, as though it were something of old and household veneration, and not a "spick and span" new independence, mounted like a mail-guard's May they coat, with the gloss still on it. He brandishes quite familiarly the most republican phrases : " Lordly dictator," and "haughty despot," "the chains of the peer " and " the intimidation of the castle," ring from his lips as roundly as if he had never been the humble creature of the dictator, worn the chains with patient acquiescence, or been very happy to profit by the in timidations. While we rejoice that West Gloucestershire is re suscitated, we most beg of " the resuscitated " not to make quite so much noise about the matter. Let them remember that they owe their " resuscitation" to a discreditable quarrel, discreditably pushed on both sides. We should have quite as much confidence in the independence of the West Gloucester electors if, instead of feasting Mr. BRANTLEY BERKELEY, and toasting their own " resuscitation," they were quietly thinking ever the past, and preparing for the future. We have already remarked on the tenure by which great proprietors hold the influence which they are so apt to abuse in county elections. It i/ perhaps as I idle to expect that they will refrain from pushing that influence beyond its limits in the counties, as it is to anticipate that agents or committees will give up the practice of opening public-houses in the boroughs. The remedy, in both cases, must come from the electors themselves. We regret that we cannot see in the recent elections any indications of the speedy application of such remedies in one case or the ether. We cannot look on the West Gloucester contest as a legitimate triumph of independent voters over a dictatorial land owner. Their resistance has been prompted by a series of peculiar circumstances, and tired rather by sympathy with a hardly-used brother than by a sense of degradation or a determination to get rid of an intolerable despotism. In the West Riding, again, the battle of influence and opinion, though it loomed in the horizon, was never actually fought. Mr. DENISON was cut off by a coup de main ; and it is well for Lord FirzwlLLlAsi that his letter reached the hustings after the with drawal of the protectionist candidate. In the boroughs the elections have been, if anything, signalised by more than usual excesses. Especially in the small country towns, such as Wallingford, Great Marlow, Chepstow, and Westbury, which usurp so undue a share of the representation, scenes have been exhibited which are disgraceful to the constituents as well as the candi dates. Mobs of bludgeon-men, open public-houses, brutal violences, streets running with blood, oaths, broken heads, and even deaths in more than one instance, to say nothing of the more clandestine in famy of bribery and corruption in all its forms, go a long way to prove that though the franchise is limited in England, it is exercised by many who are utterly incapable of comprehending the obligation it involves. Here, as at every peccant point of the body politic, the one great remedy suggests itaelf— education. Only by the elevation of intelligence and by awakening the moral sense among men in whom it now lies dormant, can we approach either inde pendence or purity of election. All penal laws must fail of accomplishing the suppression of the practices we complain of. This education that we desiderata is not, however, that of the lowest, but of the upper and middle class. The public eye is kept fixed pruacipaty on the deficient instruction of the poor, but, in reality, the want of genuine education is quite as apparent amongst those of easy means and nominal cultivation, and nowhere more than among the class to which the, electors of small towns usually belong. ON the 12th instant we published a letter, with the signature " Adria," calling in qnestion the correct ness of some statements we had made a few days before, respecting the comparative merits of the over land routes by the Adriatic and the Gulf of Genoa. The writer of that letter discussed the merits both of the land and sea portions of either route from Alex andria. Before proceeding to notice what he says of the land journey, he most allow us to complete our own story by adverting to the sea voyage—a subject upon which we have not yet touched. Our correspondent has evinced rather more zeal than discretion when he urges as an objection to the Genoa route the dangers of the passage " through the Scylla and Charybdis of the ancients;" and as a recommendation of the Trieste route, that "the Adriatic sea is calmer than any other part of the Mediterranean." Whatever Scylla and Charybdis may have been in days of old, tney have become ex ceedingly tame monsters in ours. Twelve times every month do steam-packets, utterly regardless of them, make the voyage from Naples to Malta, through the Straits of Messina. And if the Adriatic be as calm as its namesake would have us believe, it has been sadly belied from the time of HORACE downwards. Leaving out of view these pnerilities, let us exa mine the routes by sea from Alexandria to Trieste, and from Alexandria to Genoa, as they actually are, and in conjunction with the land routes to England, with which they are respectively combined. By measurements, which we have obtained from official sources, the distances of the two voyages are u follow : Prom Alaandria to Trieste, by Corfu .. 1.220 gm. to Genoa, by lideesilla 1,313 „ „ ~by Malta . . - . • Assuming the average velocity of the steamers em ployed to be ten miles an hoar, the voyage to Trieste would be performed in 122 hours; that to Genoa, by Mesaina, in 131, or by Malta in 140 hours. Assuming for the present that the estimates of the time required for the land journey on either route which we gave in our former article were correct, there are seventeen hours in favour of the land route from GenoatoLondoa over that from Trieste to London. If, therefore, Malta is left unvisited, there remains a difference of seven hours in favour of the route by Genoa, even in the actual circumstances of the roads between London and Trieste on the one hand and Genoa on the other. There is further to be taken into consideration that one great objection always urged to the substitution of the Trieste for the present overland route has been the necessity it involved of diminishing the impor tance of Malta as the centre of British power in the Mediterranean. From the measurements now quoted, it appears that the route by Genoa would admit of Malta remaining the great centre of British communi cations, and add only one hour to the time required for accampliahing the journey by Trieste—an addition quite unappreciable in so long a journey. " Adria" observes sarcastically, " We must confess that an English steam-boat company would have no competition in Genoa, as there is not one steamer be longing to that port; but the Austrian Lloyd's com pany in Trieste, with their steamers (which they are about to increase to the number of thirty) are not to be blamed for offering to the English nation those services which the Netherlands and other continental states have already accepted." But "Adrift's" sneer rests upon a mistaken assumption. Of twenty-three steam boats which touch regularly at Genoa,exclusive of those belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental company, five belong to the Sardinian government, and six to a Genoa company. In point of steam-boat accom modation, Trieste and Genoa are on a par ; with this difference, that the steam navigation of Trieste is • hothouse plant—all the boats belonging to one com pany supported by foreign capital and bolstered up by exclusive privileges conferred by government ; while the steam-boat navigation of Genoa is the healthy and vigorous nursling of free-trade, which developed itself in a great measure in despite of the counteraction of former Sardinian governments. So much for this part of the subject, into the details of which we have not previously entered. We will take an early opportunity of adverting to " Adria's" criticism of our remarks on the land portion of the journey. We wish, however, our readers and our correspondent to bear in mind that in these inquiries our object is to arrive at the truth. For themselves Genoa and Thesas are alike in our eyes ; we only wish to ascertain which offers the speedier and safer passage for postal communi cation between British India and the metropolitan country. Au reste, there is ample room for the deve lopment of steamboat and railway travelling and carriage on both routes, and England has an interest in the prosperity of both. The improve meat of the Trieste route will facilitate oar intercourse with Corfu, and extend our commercial relations with the highly capable regions subject to the Austrian sceptre. The improvement of the Genoa route will facilitate an intercourse with Malta, and (we believe) with British India, and enable England by legitimate means to become the rock upon which the liberties of Switzerland and Italy will stand secure in defiance of the storms that may assail them from Austria, or the insidious undermining processes which threaten them from France. Our Paris despatches of Saturday state that the catastrophe at the Hotel Sebsatiani has so exclusively engrossed the public attention in Paris during the close of the week, that nothing else is spoken, written, or thought of. We give the details of that painful affair elsewhere, so far as they havered. The Court of Peers "were convoked on Saturday, and the usual forms observed. A committee was appointed to inquire and report whether sufficient ground existed for bringing the accused to trial. On receiving the report of the committee the trial will commence. The Duke do Praslin was committed to the prison of the Luxembourg on Saturday morning, prepara tory to his trial. Advioes from Berne had been received to the 17th inst. A ♦ery animated discussion took place in the diet on the 16th inst., on the subject of the revision of the pact of 1815. The result was that a resolution was passed by a majority of thirteen states to appoint a committee of fourteen to report on the subject, and to present to the diet the project of such a revision and amendment of the federal pact as might seem ex pedient. The committee has been accordingly named, and includes one member from each canton which is flivourable to the amendment, two members being ' allowed for Bale. In the coarse of the discussion, th e late speech of M. Guizot in the Chamber was the sub ject of comment with all the speakers, who, not even excepting those of the Sendorbund, repudiated the imputations thrown upon the Swiss _people by th e French Minister of Foreign Affairs. The representa tives of the liberal cantons declared that the languag e of M. Guizot was an insult equally to the Swiss con federacy and to the cantons individually. M. Och. senbein, the president of the diet, affirmed that the statements of M. Guizot were falsehoods and calm. nits. The note of Lord Palmerston, recently presented to M. Ochsenbein by Mr. Peel, is a subject of conten tion among the political partisans. The liberal party insist that it is a virtual protest against foreign Inter vention in the internal concerns of the Swiss con federacy, and an explicit recognition of the right of the diet to revise the pact, and to enforce its decisions against any cantonal opposition. On the other hand, the partisans of the cabinet of the Tuileries deny that it has any such intent or purpose. They say that it is eomplimentary to M. Ochsenbein, but that it expresses no opinion respecting the revision of th e pact. On the contrary, they contend that Lord Palmerston has always advocated the independent sovereignty of the cantons, and that on former owe, sions he protested against any modification of the pact which should not be in conformity with the fun. damental Helvetic constitution as settled by treaties. As soon as the decision of the diet, forbidding the military preparations in the cantons of the league became known, these preparations were urged with increased activity, and arc, in fact, nearly or alto. gether completed. Meanwhile, letters from Herne of the 17th say that the executive council of Berne have ordered the immediate enrolment of additional troops, and exhibit all the indications of an intentioe to enforce, by armed power, the resolutions of the diet. The direct intervention of Austria, in favour of the Sonderbund is no longer doubtful.' The Fedrral Gazette, of Zurich, of the 18th, publishes the prover rerbel of the stoppage of the convoy of munitions in Tessin°, by which it appears that it had come from the citadel of Milan, was escorted by a detachment of Austrian caval7, commanded by an officer of Aus trian artillery in passing through Lombardy, that on the barrels of powder was the symbol of the Austrian eagle, but that cthcr marks had been effaced. The journals from various parts of Italy, as well u private letters, continue to bung reports of the general excitement of the people, and the demonstration of intended intervention on the part of the Austrian military authorities. The Patria (a journal published in Florence) of the 13th, says, four small fortresses on the banks of the Po, in the duchy of Modena, are strongly garrisoned by the Austrians. Ten or twelve battalions were quartered near Brescelio, and were constructing a bridge of boats, to enable them with the more facility to cross the Po. A great number of arrests had been made at Reggio and Modena. The arrest of Minardi, the spy, was confirmed. lie was taken at Florence on the Bth, and was committed to the fort of St. John the Baptist. It appears, according to other letters, that the object of the conspiracy at Rome was to seize the person of Pius IX., and transport him to ,übiaco, on the Neapolitan frentier, where he was to be kept as an hostage by the cardinals. Five hun dred carbiniers and Borghigiani were to spread terror through Rome, and to scatter combustibles in all directions on the night of the 17th July, and parti cularly to set fire to the hay-yards of Ciceroacchio. The Neapolitan and Austrian troops were then to come to the aid of the new government, which it was expected would be established as the consequence of these disturbances. The Augsburg Gazette quotes a letter from Turin of the 9th instant, which says that the Duke of Lucca had withdrawn to Muss, and had appealed for aid to Modena, but that the court of Florence, in right of its eventual title to the duchy of Lucca, declared that it would not suffer any intervention by Modena. It was also stated that Count Fiquelmont, Minister of State of Austria, had gone to the north of Italy. Letters from Rome say, that on the departure of Count Ferretti (brother of the cardinal) on his mis sion to Naples, an immense concourse of people, led by Ciceroacchio, were assembled at the gates to salute him. Nothing can exceed the popular enthu siasm at Rome. The government, say these letters, is in search of a place sufficiently spacious within the city wherein to conduct, in the face of the public, the trial of the persona charged with being impli cated in the late conspiracy. " All will be conducted under the eyes of the people, in their presence, and with the aid of 1,400 citizens under arms." The Corriere Livornese says, on the authority of a letter from Naples, that M. Grasselini and the no torious Nardom had with difficulty saved themselves by concealment from the fury of the populace. Grasselini received a letter from Palermo, in which he was advised against attempting to return there (his native place), or to any other part of Sicily, for that he would have little chance of leaving it alive. The Albo, a Florence journal, in answer to the question, " Has Austria the will or power to inter vene in Italy ?" says : . _ . _ . To the forty or fifty thousand men of Austria Pius IX. can oppose upwards of 400,000 men animated wit: that spirit of liberty which gives birth to prodigies and heroes. A single cannon-shot in Italy would set Europe on fire. A single cannon fired in Italy would accelerate the events which Austria should be prudent enough to posts with the greatest care. In one word, Austria would not have to struggle against a few insurgents, so in 1831, but against the national guard and disciplined troops, supplied with cannon, arms, provisions, entrenchments—in a word, against troops possessing all the means, both meraland ato nal, which a well constituted government can supply. And if the fate of arms, as it is probable, should declare in favour of right, what would be the future of Austria in Italy? —and if the events of the Roman States should produce a counter-stroke in the other provinces of Italy, what would be the consequence ? In one word, the Italians are ready to re mire the Austrian' and Metternich and his Hungarians in timidate no one in Italy. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 7. The French steamer which arrived here on the 4th inst., brought despatches from M. Protish, the Austrian minister at Athens, to Count Sturmer. These deli:medics contained the details of an interview which had taken plea between M. Protish and M. Coletti on the subject of the dif ferenoe existing between Turkey and Greece. You will re• member that on the receipt of Coletti's last letter, the an , nisters of the Porte thought fit to modify their demand for satisfaction. The Turkish government seemed to consider the attempt hopeless of forcing Coletti to comply with the terms of their ultimatum; their despatch, therefore, wee simply a request that the Greek cabinet would authorise Alt Effendi to express to M. Museums in the name of M. Coletti, regret for what had taken place at the king's ball. M. Prong' in his despatch, which arrived here on the 4th inst., says that be is authorised by M. Coletti to stats that he cannot consent to Ali Effendi making any apology to M. Museums ; that he had placed the question in dispute in the hands of M. de Metternich, and had promised to abide by his decision ; and that such being his determination, he could not accede to any modification which was not sanctioned by the head of the Austrian cabinet M. Protish concludes by saying that he had already sent a duplicate of this document to Priam Metternich. Yesterday, the 6th instant, a courier arrived from Vienna with despatches from M. de Metternich, ad dressed to Count Sturmer, in which he says that he had re ceived a oopy of Ali Effendi's communication to Coletti, and that the request it contained—that Coletti should authorise the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs to apologise in ha name to M. Mussurtu—evened to him to be exceedsngle )tut and proper, and that he would write to Athens to make known his sentiments on this subject to the chief of the Greek cabinet. Such is the state of humiliation to which the Turkish government have fallen. It is now eight monde since, with the consent of the representatives of the five great powers; they recalled their representative from Athens, because their first demand for satisfaction yea refused.
