A SPECIAL EDITION of the " REPRESS,* ecaticiaing the result' of the d►y's Races, is pub lished e•e7 evening during the Sporting Sesson, it six o'clock. Ir is impossible for an Englishman at home to observe without interest the constitutional difficul- ties through which our fellow-subjects in Canada are brushing their way. A fastidious and epigramtnatie Prince might even be excused for thinking that is that country colonial responsible Government itself was " on its bid.' Certainly the present complication of sectional intend', the confusion of political pu bes. added to the more permanent evils of hostile prejudices, founded as differences of religion and race, demand the discreeteat treatment of all who are called to bear a prominent part in the public affairs of that portion of the Empire. How far the Clovilmos ()ENDA L of Canada has comprehended the oppor tanitiee and proprieties of his position se the repre sentative of the Sovereign will have been seen from the letter of our able correspondent at Toronto which we published yesterday. Bearing auks of the excitement of the struggle in which it had its origin, that oommunication exhibits faith fully, and with the aid of the document' which have pared, the conduct of Sir EDMUND Henn wider circumstances calling for the nicest regard both for the hamar of his Sovereign and the rights of the people. On the 28th of July last, the Gorennot-GEN saw the Ministers with whom aid he had governed defeated in the Assembly and on a qmstion of the first order, by a numerical majority sash m, in their own judgment, rendered their continuance is Aloe impos sible. The leaden of the parliamentary opposition were Mr. Bikers and Mr. Dome. Their political situation was well moderatos:id throughout the colony. The victors of the hour, the heads of a powerful party oat of doors, it was well known to everybody, and of course to the Govitiscia-Orsestai, that within the Assembly as it then stood they would not be able to command a permanent working ma jority. This consideration did not deter his Excel lency from taking the step which was plainly indi cated by the ordinary principles of free Govern ment; he rent for Mews. 211.01111 and Downs, and committed to them the trek et forming an Administration. It is due to air Emmen Hien te believe that when he did this he was setiagwith good faith to the Colony and the Quasi.. He could not have been proposing to himself at that time to go vern Canaia through a Cabinet which should be hourly exposed to defeat and discredit. He must, therefore, have intended, in the first instance, to in vest the new Ministry wi , h thane constitutional powers which would enable it to appeal to the people ; he mast have been prepared to authorise it to dissolve Parliament. To suppose otherwise would be to explain his conduct on principles which we believe to be as foreign to the high personal cha racter of the Govrasoa-UalgasAi. as they are un worthy of the high position he holds by the favour of the Crown. In this frank and loyal act the political virtue of Sir EDMUND Baer) appears at its height. Hence forth be appears as a politician differing from other politicians only in station, rather than es a Governor 'placed above parties, and stedfastly resolved to walk by cometitational rale. In the interval between his Ant assays to Mr. Biowx sad the complete con structioa of that patlmman's Administration, the rzaLi were to have reflected on the inconvenience of that thorough turn-out and turn over which the accession of the opposition, followed by a dissolution of Parliament, would en tail. Plausible reasons, some of them solid, were at hand for objecting to a general election. The partisans of the old Ministry were active. They demanded nothing bat to be allowed to go on with the existing Assembly, and promised that if that were granted they would som put the BaowN Ministry out of the way. In the midst of these circumstances, the GOVULNOIII-01NE- XAL quitted his earlier Arm positios of impartiality, for in his letter addressed to Mr. Blower on the 3lst of July, before the new Administration was complete, we find him volunteering to the expectant Premier a statement of the difficulties it might be in his power to throw in that gentleman's way. With out waiting to be asked, without waiting for the event which might render a declaration necessary, without waiting even until the expectant Ministers should have really formed an official connexion with him, the Ooveamoa.Gmtgau. wrote to Mr. BROWN, telling him that if he took office he might possibly find himself without the power of dissolving, coupling this intimation with references to the unpleasant situation of a Ministry in a Parliamentary minority, and prescribing in a bargaining spirit the terms on which he would con sent to prorogue. This communication was both irregular and unreasonable. The incoming states men were asked to commit themselves to a rouse of policy of which they were not the authors. asked too by the very person they were invited to advise—and this while they occupied a positioe without the honours, the responsibility, or the protection of office. In making these proposition• his Exoellency abandoned that attitude of reserve and expectation which is characteristics et the weed tutional ruler in times of party conflict. Without any relinquishment of thou prerogatives which are attached to his office for the good of the °wintry he might have allowed the political crisis to follow its natural course, always the safest in the end. He rewlved otherwise, and the result is that he stands before the Canadians in the eloped of a, partisan. The policy of Mears. BoowN and DORION, under these ciretnstances, was at the same time their duty. They replied that until they bad 'maimed their functions of constitutional advisers of the Crown they would not be in a position to discos important measures and questions of public policy with the Govimitoz-Gamemst. Sir EDMUND HEAD admitted the justice of this rebuke, for without further parley the new Ministers were at oats sworn in. What had been anticipated hip pest& The parliamentary adherents of the fallen Administration, who had passed over into oppo sition, passed at once a vote of want of confidence in the new Ministers. The latter thereupon demanded as appeal to the country. The GOVERNOR-GENERAL ntsiod to dissolve, u he had before refused to pro ems% and the Bmovrm-Domom Cabinet resigned beim it had even entered on a single act of adminia- Medea. After an ineffectual attempt to form a seed sow Cabinet the members of the old one IMO abutted together, and within a few days of their resignation were, with two exceptions, all busk in their places at Sir E. HEAD'S Council Board. At this distance we are unable to judge of the comparative merits of the men who have gained or of the men who have lost in the coarse of these trans positions, nor should we have a right to do so if they were nearer. It is neither for as nor for Sir E. HBAD to decide who is beet fitted to conduct the public affairs at Canada—that is the business, as we understand it, of the Canadians. The Goveanoz-Oxr tem., however, cannot have been of that opinion. He has proved himself to be of the school who seek to set the narrow wisdom of the Prince above the: sure intuition of the people, and with the best intentions has, a second titre, placed the Crown in a false position. As the matter stands at present, Sir E. HEAD has contrived to appear as directly interfering to thwart one Minis ter and to favour another. Nothing could be more terries. The Colonies have had a long fight for self government, and it is preposterous to suppose that, after they have emancipated themselves from the leading strings of the Colonial-office, administered by a constitutionally responsible statesman, they will surrender the privilege to its local officer. Already the hostility of the Oovasoa-Gartxnit. bas served the interests of the party against which it wee exercised ; Mr. Blows has been re turned for Toronto after a most exciting struggle, and people all over the country are peti tioning for the Govenuoe-GENIRAL's recall. With the - electoral emcees of the aggrieved party this ex eitement will probably die away. Those who com plain loudest, and even talk of an elected Executive on the American plan, know that it is much easier to get the mistakes of a removable Governor-General assanded than it would be to correct the aberrations Cr restrain the caprices of a President chosen for a tam and irremovable until its expiration. Bat it was none the lees on this account unwise to provoke the natural jealousy of a spirited people. Canada Is not the only colony in which the working of free oonstitutiooa has demanded tact and discre tion in the Governor, but wherever the spirit of such constitutions has been loyally observed, the colo nies have been seen to right themselves. In oom mending Sir EDNITIID MUD'S policy to the notice of the COLONIAL 131CliTAItY, we will recall the words of Mr. LABOUCHIRE, his predeoessor in office, ad , droned last January to a body of colooisti :— " I am persuaded that no greater mistake could be "made than to grant responsible government to "any colony, and then not to act frankly up to that " concession." THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1858. meeting the enemy. On the 9th, however, General Roberta overtook the rebels on the banks of the river, near Saganeer, and dispersed them with lose. The following telegram from General Roberts, dated 10th August, explains his prooeedings on the pre vim' day : After a march of thirty miles I came up with the rebels at five p.m. yesterday. They were stretched lnc long lio n the other side of the Raters. river near eageater.

The rebels are this morning Gooala, on the Oodeypors road. Colonel Holmes' detachment, which had kept up s hot pursuit of the enemy in a different direction,l without much result, found it impossible to come up with them, and they at last escaped by a pass which, being encumbered with artillery, he could not cross. These rebels then turned to the west, and intend, it is maid, descending inteMarwar by the Chat ter Boot or one of the Marwar passes. It was not thought any of the Thakoors would join them, and troops have been moved from Ahmedabad towards Oodeypoor, to check their advance into Guzerat. The detachment under Colonel Holmes joined General Robert's force on the 10th, and the pursuit was recommenced on the 13th. On the 18th August (yesterday), the rebel fugitives were overtaken and defeated, as will be seen by the following telegraphic despatch from General Roberts, dated Camp Kotarea, 18th August : I cans up with the rebel army this morning about nine o'clock, at this place (Holmes), about ten miles north of Nathwsrre, and totally defeated him, capturing his due braes guns, four la number, with ammunition, 4hc.

We have received by Overland Express our Bom bay letters and papers to the 19th of August. The following is the summary of the Overland Bombay Times : HEADS OF INTELLIGENCE. Sir Hope Grant's force reached Fyzabad on the 29th of July, and occupied it without opposition, the rebels having retreated before their advance. Rajah Mann Sing joined the British oamp at Fyn,- bad on the 30th of July, and order was being ra pidly restored in the city and its neighbourhood. Oa the 4th of August a force was about to start for Sultanpore, to disperse the rebels congregated there, under Mahomed Hossein. General Roberts, after a laborious pursuit of the fugitive rebels in Rajpootana, encountered them on the 9th and 18th August, and completely dispersed them, with severe loss. On the last occasion, at Botarea, he captured four bras guns, with ammuni tion, &c. A faros had marched from Ahmedabad, to intercept the advance of the fugitives into Gusset. Behar continues in a state of chronic disorder, and the rebels at one time occupied the Grand Trunk Road, cutting off our communication with Calcutta. They were soon dislodged, however, and vigorous measures are being adopted to restore order in the province. The Governor-General and Sir Colin Campbell are at Allahabad, and Lady Canning is on her way thither from Calcutta. Lord Harris has been seriously ill at Ootaca mund, having at one time lost the use of his limbs : but his lordship is gradually recovering his health, and is again able to attend to public . business. Sir Patrick Orant still continues to reside at the Nei l ebonies. Lord Elpbiostone has left Dapoorie, on a short skis to Ahmednuggur, where he will remain about a week. Sir Henry Somerset is at Poona. Dzavus.—Colonol Joseph Tartan, Bengal Artillery, at Kaftans, July 20; Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Otter, bar Majesty's 61st Regiment, at Calcutta, July 27 ; Captain Clamp Evatt, her Majesty's 70th Regiment, at Pashawnr, hay —; Captain E. J. Hardcastle, 53rd Fingal Native lahatry, at Ajmer*, August 5 ; Asslatant Surgeon, Y. J. M. Mumma, Bombay tuctlical Dairies, at ilea, on the voyage to Kunsan, July 29; and Edward Salmon, Eau., barrister at-law, at Madras, July 30. OUDE. The cessation of hostilities in Oude seems almost to have told more powerfully upon the rebel cause than our victories, as symptoms are now manifest in all quarters of a thorough break-up of the confederation. They only wanted a little leisure to quarrel amongst themselves, and the sending our troops into quarters has afforded them the opportunity. We men tioned in our last issue that Sir J. Hope Grant had marched with a small but well appointed force from Lucknow on the 21st ultimo for the relief of Mann Sing, besieged in his fortress at Shahgung, in the neighbourhood of Fyzabad. The rebel army is said to have amounted to 8,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, of whom 10,000 were mepoye, but these figures are doubtless a random guess without au thority. Grant's force could not have exceeded 3,300 in all, but the enemy showed that they had no intention of again meeting the dreaded gore Logue ; and wbile he was yet fourteen miles away, broke up into three divisions and retreated precipitately. The men flatly refused to fight. A letter from Luck now, in the columns of a contemporary, describes the result of the advance as follows:—" On his road Grant met with no opposition. The rebels at Duvreabad, some 10,000 strong, under Onngadhur Panday, once one of our faithful, melted into par ticks on oar approach. The chnckledar of the place addressed head quarters, that is the Begum, that hearing of the advance of British troops, Oungadhur's men, and those of Abed Hameln, felt a sudden pricking of the conscience, and were de serting. No attraction could keep them together, our presence and our bayonets were very repellent. No sooner did intelligence reach Mehndee Hooeein that we had passed Durreabad, where we have quartered the Kuppertulla Rajah's troops, thau the vast host before Shahgung rolled with a similar emotion. In one night 13,000 deserted, having been seen no more." On the 30th, Mann Sing came into Gen. Grant's camp at Fyzabad, and whatever reason we may have to doubt the sincerity of this man's late and vacillating professions, his final detachment from the rebel cause is undoubtedly an advantage of importanoe. The effect of this movement is the perfect re-establishment of order at Fyzabad. The inhabitants are returning totheir homes, and the shops being opened, and trade resumed as if nothing whatever had transpired in the district. Our anticipations that the Be m's force at Booms would melt away of itself, are realised. It had dwindled down, by last amounts, to between three and four thousand men with four guns, and was preparing to follow the " sorry beast " Nana into the Nepaul territories, upon the first notice of our advance. The latest information we have of this monster is that he was at Chardah, in the Nanparuh district, on the 2nd in stant, at the head of a considerable body of ,troops, with four guns. It is hardly possible that he should escape were the Nepaul Government in earnest to arrest him, bat we are not surprised that grave doubts are expressed of the real sentiments of that Court, although we have delighted to honour hag Bahadoor with the dignity we confer upon our best and bravest warriors. It would serve no to detail the numerous rebel gatherings purposef flying column, detached from Grant's force, was to follow up the debris of the Shahong besiegers, who under Mahomed Hoosien are now collected at Sul tanpore, to the number, it is said, of 18,000 men. The pursuing column consists of the let Madras Fusiliers, 4th Punjaub Rifles, 500 cavalry, with one troop Horse Artillery. Our nest will doubtless record their arrival at Sultanpere, and the dispersion of the host they are advancing against. The state of affairs in the province affords the best indication which could be given of the wisdom of Lord Canning's policy throughout. Had an am nesty been decreed, it is doubtful whether it would have been accepted, while had it proved successful, it would have tied the Commissioner's hands in the most mischievous and embarrassing manner, from the host of claims which it would have been 'apposed to gearantee. As it is, Mr. Mordgom dry is unfettered. Abundant evidence has been given to the rebels that they will be dealt with in a • tof jostles, tempered largely with mercy, and the settlement of Gude upon a peaceful and enduring basis is now secured. RAJPOOTANA. General Roberta marched from Took on the 22nd July, for Goolade, on the left bank of the Benu, in pursuit of the flying rebels, who had taken a western course to the hills. The forte erased the Benu on the 23rd, and moved in the direction of Deogong and boonea, so as to cover Nusseerabsd and Ajmere. On the 25th, the force had reached Deo gong, and on the following day marched to James. The rebels, whose movements were singularly rapid, had in the mean time crossed into Meywar, by a ford impassable for guns. On the 27th, General Roberta arrived at Jonwar, and re mained there for several days, unable to move, the surrounding country being flooded. On the let Auguat, the force again moved in a southerly direction, and marched for several days without BRIGADIER SMITH'S COLIIIIN. The following I. from an offioer with Brigadier Smith's column, which has again taken the field : Camp before Poorie, 18 miles from Seepree, Ang.9, 1858. Hers we are oat again, after our old friend of the Patton fort, Man Bing, or Bower Sing se he is now celled. He is In the fort of Poorie, with three or four thousand men, three large guns, and about twenty-four small ones, We left &epees on the fah, but on account of the heavy nature of the road, could only reach Jean that day. The wont part of th e road was that close to beeper*, where the guns sank to their axles in the mud, and the haw to their haunches. Even the legs of the infantry ocarionally dis appeared In the most mysterious manner, and At would am astonish an in the lout to find, oa our return, a lies rips crop of :shoes and ammunition boots, fora good mony were Lett planted in chisel& alluvial soil. The road fromiseri was better, and on the afternoon of the 6th we arrived before Poorio fort, end bivouacked before the walls. This afternoon and the ant morning were spent in reconnoitring, and in receiving and replying to letters from Kan Sing, who rays he to our great friend, and that he dose not want to fight as, but won't give himself up, though his life has been promised, as ha Is afraid we will hang him.

Os the afternoon of the 7th, Brigadier th went close to the gate of the fort, to have • coahrenos with Man Mag. He was attended by his brigade-major only, but Man Nag, though he oame out with an armed rabble at hie hells, took fright; at two lancers who galloped towards the beigadier,and retired, his followers chinning round our good blgadier, and making inch an awful row, that we thought it was all up with our gallant chief. lam happy to say they did not touch him, for we cannot afford to loss eseh a fine brave fellow, and one so much loved in the fora.

TUZIMAT STTMIDO• I find it stated in the Union, but I know not on what authority, that the French Government in tends to leave in the waters of China all the gun boats now collected there, together with a corps of mariner, until the treaty concluded at Tien Tsing shall be completely executed. The local tribunal of Correctional Police has sen tenced the legitimist partisan M. de Coarser to two months' imprisonment, De Mailly to one month for the address they sent to the Count de Ch-imbord, Two of the working men who signed the address are acquitted, and two of them sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The Bourse has been none the worse to-day for the slight reaction which I noticed yesterday, and the effect of which has rather been to give increased fit ones. to all the business. The Rents which had closed at 72fr. 76c. on the pre vious afternoon, now roes at once to 73fr. 100., and then got as high a. 73fr. 26c.

The Dibata devotee its principal columns to an article upon the Litersty and Artistic Congress, ap pointed to meet at. Brussels on the 27th inst. The bookeelling and papermsking interests, the dramatic authors and composers, and those of literature in ge neral, see to be represented by a m'sed commission. The general object of this commission apper-s to be to obtain for all countries the protection to literary works, without regard to the country of their origin, which now exists in France alone. The attention of your readers has already been called to an article in the 'Mats, in which that able weitle, M. Prevost- Paradol, in a vein of the happiest irony, flays M. Levis Venillot alive, on the subject of the famous Lourdes miracle. With redoubled vitality, the hydra of religious abeolat , sm retr•.as to the charge in his usual style of virulence and personality, and, as usual, finding himself unable to refute his oppo- nent's segment, distorts and misrepresents it. M. Panda! having claimed for Protestants a right to miracles of one sort, those namely— if turning catholic, and sceptics into Protestants, by mears of the Bible, M. Veuillot thus deals with him : M. Psradol insineatm that he is favourable to liberty in the matter of miracles—that he is a Whig to let the Catholics perform as many as they like, end deprecates opposition thereto; but that he demands that proteatents alwil be allowed to perform miracles also, which &racks shall coo slat in tr-aing catholic. Into prutestante and soeptlos by the r"atribution of Bibles. This most palpable tmbtitution of one phreve for another is calculated to defeat its own purpose even Kith the be"evers in M. Louis Veuillot—if such there really be. Now let as hear this great teacher's opinion of the Protestant Bible: Aecord , ng to et (the Univers) the isle of the Bible by colporGurs (prdlars—itisentnt venders) ought not to be snowed in tiny cethollo—nay, in any Christian cotuitry. We do not here 'rolicats the holy book itself, tot that Welled traw led= of It the distilbution of which constitutes the Mat comer &judge of the word of Ood. The so-calkd Bible of the protestanta is en engine of war against Christianity. He then touches upon the eolporgage position as one of statl policy, end favours the imperial govern ment with 101 advice u follows : But as it le not with us (the Univers) that the /sun's! des litdate e.^n settle the matter, we mint be permitted to decline interfering with it, leaving that Pausal to mettle it with the government. If we may be allowed to point out the course which it would be desirable to follow, we would say it ought to be frly end satidsolorily proved that the distributors of the Bible aotesity do attribute the Bible, that they are ploy, sod peaceful men, and that the state has been wrong in suspecting that there is more of Orleaniain and medalists than of spoetolical real in the extreme srdour displayed of late by theme very advanced helth:ul of the religion of free inquiry. It will be seen that M. Venillot has taken shelter under the far-spreading mantle of administrative vigilance ; on that head, however, I would observe that the falseness of the charge against the colporteurs, of having disseminated Orleaniat and socialist doctrines instead of the Bible, is placed beyond all doubt. Bees sig num, in the follow ;ig circular recently addressed by the Prefect of the Sarthe to the Sub-Prefects, Mayors, Juges-de-paix, Commandants of Gondar- merle, Comm:varies of Police, and other officials : Gentlemen,—l have been askrd whether the inst.notions in the thriller of 30th Jerry last, relative to the colportage of the publicatiors of retie:mil dissenters are appliesble to all eolportesrs iodiscriumtely. I baton to reply urbestetingly In the negative. Upon this point the terms of the ministerial circular of We 22nd of May last leave no doubt. The superior ad mndstrations has no intention of preventing the dissemina tion by means of tolporgage of the doctrines of any sect what ever. Translations of the Bible, and a great number of other protestant works ham been inserted in the oflirdel cata loger which regulate the mipervieks of eapertape. After an attentive examination by a permanent commis- Sioll, it has been decided that these publications, which are eminently .noral, do not 'rangier the reasonable limits of religions controversy. It le :ally admitted that they are not of a nature to irritate minds, and arouse parlous which am not of our epoch. The object of the administration le to prevent foreign societies, possessed of cosabierabk meaner from sending to oar country agents charged to units agita , tion ; and for that purpose it is that tie prefects have been des red to institute careful inquiries into the antecedents of Individuals applying for permhwion to exercise the calling of colportewrs. Laox CHIVILLtr. _ . By way of commentary on the foregoing, I extract from the Revue des Deux Mendes an eloquent passage on the subject of the distribution of the Bible : We will not panes to dinettes the point as to whether imat munitim armeetemcd to read the Bible produce more intelli gent or mime moral era am three which do not read it.

We would prevent that which, mow ear people, is lost to Catholicism, from being equally lost to Christianity and to all religions belief.

M:Louis Veuillot is one of those who thinks you cannot have too much of a good thing. To-day he again " harks back "to the Lourdes miracle. He doubtless knows how soon the most exciting novelty palls upon his countrymen, and fears the subject should, at least as far as Paris is concerned, di d away in the public mind. It seems that a certain Dutch paper, and also a provincial paper called the Laudon, published at Lourdes, have been saying hard things at once of the miracle and of the editor of the Univers. The first states, upon the authority of a traveller, that the shepherdess Bernadette is no more a shepherdess than Veuillot is a shepherd ; and that, far from being a simple and ignorant peasant girl, she is a cunning young bourgeoise of cultivated manners, and declares that she has spent several months in a nunnery, where she has studied, and, as the expression is, been crammed in her part, rehearsing it from time to time before select clerical audiences. This unbelieving Dutchman concludes by saying that the Lourdes affair is but an amended edition of the famous Salette affair, which the public tribunals have pronounced to be the work of a juggler. The Lourdes writer, who pooh-poops the whole as a pack of unmitigated non sense, considers that the divine grace was confined to the shepherdess, and was not extended to the great champion Veuillot himself. Veuillot's re reply is more feeble than is hie wont in such cues. Possibly be anticipates defeat in the decision of the commission appointed by the bishop to examine the affair. He shuts himself up in a generality : "We say that a miracle is everywhere and at all times possible. We do not say that the incidents of Lourdes form a miracle. That question concerns the bishop." The following letter is published in to-day's I Moniteur : " BIARRITZ, Barr. 12. " The Emperor, accompanied by hie Excellency the Count Walewski, the Prefect of the Landes, the Prince de la Moekowa, Colonel Fart, and M. Moo guard, made an excursion yesterday to the Orz marshes, lying in the middle of the Landes. It is known that, after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, his Majesty, wishing to acknowledge the services of Count Weleweki and give him a special mark of satisfaction, made him a pre sent of these marshes. But as their draining would require a considerable outlay, the Emperor, previous to making over the property to the count, undertook to defray the expense himself, so that an act of munificence might not entail an onerous charge on the donee. At Cape Breton the Emperor found the chief engineer and the engineer in ordi nary of the department, who exhibited to him plans the execution of which would give to the numerous mariners of this locality the means of carrying on their fishing with greater security than heretofore on these coasts, and protect many estates of private individuals from liability to the yearly inundations. As the expense would be a trifle in comparison with so advantageous a result, the Emperor promised that the works should commence immediately." ITALY. Letters from Rome state that the Mortara family continue their efforts to obtain the release of their alleged Christianised child ; but hitherto without success. Count Colloredo, the Austrian ambassador, has interfered, but equally without success. A telegraphic despatch from Turin (13th) says:— " The Turin journals, in publishing to-day the despatch relative to the lease of twenty years to Russia of the port of ViLlafranca, state that 'the news given by the Morning Chronicle is not cm rect.' " SPAIN. A letter from Madrid announces the return of O'Donnell for the 16th, and that M. Mon was hourly expected, and adds :—" Next to political subjects, that which chiefly occupies the attention of the financial world in our city is the continual and exclusive movement of our market with regard to the redeemable debts. That of the second class roes on the 9th September to 13fr. 760., and should this rise continue the Spanish government might have to encounter great difficulties in the re-purchase of this debt. It is nevertheless impossible to deny the great advantage which the government and the credit of Spain would derive from coming to an arrangement with the holders of these claims, which, owning such names as debt without interest, redeemable debt, passive debt, recall unfortunate events, and injure pub lic credit. Other countries, such as Austria, and even Holland, have in former times had similar obligations, and the credit of those countries only became fully established upon their disappearance. It is said that with a view to the conclusion of such arrangements, the native holders of the passive debt are willing to come to terms with the foreign holders, and that before long M. Leopold Werner, of your city, is likely to visit Madrid as a delegate from the principal holden there, in order to concert measures with those here." DENMARK AND GERMANY. The Nord says :—" The conflict ap- proachesithe solution which our correspondent hag for the last two months led us to anticipate. Ws think the declaration presented by M. de Bulow to the Germanic Diet (which document is given at length) u conciliatory as can possibly be. The King is willing to make all the required concessions under a farm which maintains the independence and dig nity of the crown. We share the conviction u praised by oar Berlin correspondent that the Diet will receive these overtures favourably, and that the negotiations will result in a satisfactory arrange' ment." TURKEY. The Constantinople correspondent of the Consti testionml gives (Sept. 3) some particulars as to the administrative and financial reforms, which (he says) are carried on perseveringly, and in a way to leave no doubt on the subject. The commission under Riza Pecha, appointed to inquire into the expenses of the Imperial Palace, continues to perform its task firmly, delicately, and intelligently.
