HUNGARY. The following is the first commu nication we h. received from a gentleman who left tong since to fur nish us with correspondence from Hungary. It is sow only that we receive his Ism letter, d a ted • month back. But it is not the lees impo rtant , coming from thequarter it does, and fr om the pen of ono on whose corm:teem wean implimtly rely : prune, lowa 30 The operations of the war is Hungary have within the last week or two awned almost on every point a new obarreter. Having driven the enemy to the trea tise the various corps of the Hungarian army had taken up strictly defensive positions. General Ben opposed to General Laden, who commands a force of 18,000 Russians on the frontierof the Bucovina, was strongly posted along the river Bistzritz ; in an affair of outposts the Russians at first gained a slight advan tage and took the town of Bisizritz, but they were afterwards repulsed with considerable loss ; hither meantime a division of Rani= troops, amounting to 15,000 men from Wallachia, suddenly attacked, sad succeeded in forcing the pass into Transylvania near Cronstadt. This pass was a strong one, defended by 800 men and five pieces of cannon ; with the latter loaded with grape was opened a meet destructive fire en the assailints, but though more than four-firths of the foremost battalion was the rent carried the guns, and the s = and then, as a necessary consequence, took posseesioa of Crowed.. General Bem, thus taken by surprise, and placed between two fires, is said to be manmover big with his usual ability. It is confidently expected ben that he will be able, not only to beat and diepnes of the Russian troops in Transylvania, but sub's quen.ly to co-operate with Georgey and Dembinski, for the protection of the capital. It cannot be denied that Bada-Pesth is in great danger of falling once more into the hands of the enemy. The Russians are marching this way in great tome (70,000 men and 120 pieces of artillery) from Upper Hungary. They have entered the country on three different pointe— Cele corps, commanded 6y Bans, is advancing through the oomitat of Ares, and threatens the right wing of Georgey's army on the Vega; the - main body, under Paskevech, will be directed, it is thought, upon Pesch, and $ third corps is moving further east, towards Debres zin and Graivardein. In these places are the government manufactories of arms and ammu nition, and their capture would be an irreparable dis aster to the national cause. To meet all these masses the Ilungariane, I am sorry to say, have nothing (that is, between them and Nigh) but the small corps of 13,000 men lately under the command of Dembinski, but which now under that of General Visolski has fallen back upon Miscolz. They are no match for the Russian., whose splendid artillery and mu cav alryses of heavy would make short work of them in the plains. Dembinski him self has arrived at Pesth, where his talents at this critical moment, if he settle his differences and act in concert with his rival, General Georgey, may yet re trieve the fortunes of the campaign. Bit Dembinski is now laeouring under a strong feeling of di-appoint ment and disgust. In the first ins'anee, he did not obtain the supreme direction of military affair., which he conceived his experience entitled hits to; he com plains of having been thwarted instead of being aided in his plans by General George'', who, in fact, rather presumptuously se's up for a mll Lary genius genius which will not bear to be rebuked by that of Dembinski. The latter therefore requested and ob tained a separate command, and with his detached corps of 13,000 men advanced to the frontier of Gallicia; this, however, he was net permitted to cross. He had offered more than a month ago— before the Russian army had been concentrated in that province—to make an irruption into it, and pro- duce a general rising among the population ; but his advice was rejected, and both he and Bem received peremptory orders to avoid every thing in the shape of aggression ; and yet the Emperor Nicholas, as a pretext for intervention, ha. declared that this is not an Hungarian but a Polish movement ! This is a statement which her Britannic Majesty's government, knowing the general veracity of such circular., has found it convenient to take upon trust; and yet nothing eta be further from the truth. On my way to Perth, through the southern provinces of Hungary, in the curse of which I visited the head-quarters of several corps, and since my arrival at the capital, I have only seen two Polish officers—one of these being General Dembh.eki himself; and I have been con vinced that, so far from exercising any political influence, their control, even in military matters, is perhaps unfortunately of a very equivocal description. This chargeagainst the Hungarian government is about as truo as another that has been promulgated and caught at, I fear, by those who want an excuse for their own subserviency to the views of Austria, with similar avidity—namely, that this movement is a socialist and purely democratic movement. The Hungarians, on the contrary, are merely fighting for their notional independence and to preserve their territor y from dismemberment ; but this is a subject which I propose to treat more at length hereafter, and I shall return to the events of the campaign. That which had been before the advance of the ;Russians the chief theatre of the war, and upon ,which the main body is now concentrated, extends from Raab to Leopoldstadt. The reason for which the war was for some time suffered to languish upon this point was, the presence of General Georgey with a considerable de:acbment from his army at the siege of Buda. The capture of this place was, for 'strategical purpose., probably a matter of no great importance—but the morel effect on the courage and confidence of the nation ren dered it in the opinion of Kossuth indispensable. This preliminary task having accordingly, and is gallant style, been accomplished, Georgey was at liberty to take the field once more against the hem thins. They were, in the course of a few dap s driven from position to position, almost to their laid entrenchments under the walls of Preeburg. On the 21st the Hungarians broke the centre of their line at Bettye, throwing one section of their forces upon Freeberg, and the other in the direction of Tierney. But, while pressing vigorously upon the latter, it be came at once evident to General Georgey that they had been strongly reinforced, and that their Roam auxiliaries were at length actively co-operating with them. Both from the longer range of their gins, and the helmets worn by the infantry, it was appa rent to General Georgey that he had a new and supernumerary enemy to deal with. An engage ment of a desultory native was maintained during the greater part of three days, the result of which was, as usual, in favour of the Hungarians. Some of the posts, however, which they had carried having been afterwards judged to be too far advanced, or, accord ing to the military phrase, emerir, they were subse quently abandoned, and General Georgey, in the nu certainty he was under as to the strength of the com bined forces which might be brought against bias, deemed it most prudent to occupy as strong a posi tion as possible ; and he had accordingly taken up the line of the Vega, which, supported by the fartzan of Comorn, might, before the arrival of the Runians, have lowa considered inexpugnable. But the approach , of the latter on his right flank will render his prosiest position untenable. Whether he will endeavour to cover Pesth, make a dash at Vienna, or a bold at tempt to destroy the Austrian army before they can be joined by their allies, a few days most now decide. It is by no means improbable that Kossuth may de termineonce more to abandon the capital with a view of making a stand upon the Theis,. Jellachich, it appears, has been for the present foiled in that quar ter, and unable to advance or maintain himself in the Batchka, " he has retreated upon &seg. The whole of that part of the country had been before completely devastated by him, and he could find no subsistence for his troops whatever. He is said, moreover, to have apprehended an insurrection in his rear among the Croatians. His object in advancing had been to penetrate into the Beni; where he ho ped . to rekindle the flames of civil war among the Servuum and Wallachians. The government, to avert this danger, had been engaged in strengthening the dif ferent corps intended to act against Jellachich ; it had also appointed better generals to direct their opera tions. Perczel had been .uperrcded by General Fetter and the brave General Germ ' a countryman of ours, left Pesth the daybefore este rday to take the command of Vetche's corps before Temesvar. We received the same day intelligence of the capitulation of the sister fortress of Arad—so that Temvvar will probably not hold out much longer, and Guyon's corps be at lii , erty to act against the Russians. Fetter will be in like man ner disengaged by the retreat of Jellachich, and should Bem and Visotsky be enabled to co operate, a force of 50,000 men ma thus be masem -IW, and these, with the 60,000 nada Garry, may THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 1, 1849. MONEY MAt.RKET. TUUDAT ETNIFING. • It te ratifying for us to he able to announce that the next scooants of trade and navigation will show, it is said, an enormous increase in the amount of exposes during the month of June. A oossiderable amount of money stock was brought into the market during the morning, which caused a decline in the English funds after the opening of hominess, from which however they rallied a little towards the latter part of the day. Consols opened at 921 to 93 for money and account, and fell to 921 for money, and 921 for account, they were then done 4 better, closing at 921 for money, and at 921 to Ito account. The Three per Cent. Reduced were first done at 921, which price they were marked at the close, having been done in the interval at 93 and 924. The Three-and-a-Quarter • Per Cent left off at an advance of 1 on the opening price, which was 931, having been variously marked at 1, 1,1, and last at 931. Exchequer Bills were negotiated at 51.., and 48s. premium. Long Annuities at 8 15-16 and 9. Bank Stock realised 1984 and 1891. India Stock 2531, 2, 1. India Bonds 83s. and 85s. premium. In the foreign securities there was no notable varia tion from the quotations of yesterday. The business also was not important, and is comprised in the fol lowing quotations. Danish Three per Cents. at 691; ditto Five per Cent. Bonds, 1849, at 961. Equador at 31 and 4. Mexican, ex coupons, at 264 and 27 for money, and 271 and 264 for account. Portuguese Five per Cents., at 80. Russian, at 1051. Spanish Five per Ceuta, at 18 and for money, and 184 and 4 for account ; ditto Three per Cents., at 34, 1, and 4. Three per Cent. French Routes, at 54 f.; exchange, 26 L 40e. Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Belgian, at 46 ; exchange, 25 f. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 62, 14, and 52; ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, at 81 4, 81, and 1 . In foreign ex changes rather more business was does for this mail, and most quotations remaiced without alteration, excepting on Holland and Ham burg, were a shade lower. mooed series of public sales of colonial wool, which commenced on the 3rd of July,/ terminated yesterday. The attendance of buyers, both from the interior and the continent, was goad from the open ing day to the close of the sales, and the quantity dis posed of was considerable. The prices obtained were at an advance of about Id. on the lower, and 2d. to 3d. per lb. on the higher descriptions. The advanced prices which ruled at the German fairs this summer deterred many English wool dealers from operating la rg ely at those markets, which has no doubt contributed to the ani ma.ion among the bidders, and to the firmness with which the prices were upheld. The quantity actually disposed of was, of Sydney, 15,1414 bales, which realised for fleeces, from Is. to 2r. 3d., lambs, lc Id. to ls. 9d.. ' Port Phillip, 16,887 bales, fleeces, at I Id. to 25., lambs, Is. 2d. to 2s. Id.; Van Diemen's Land, 8,025 bales, fleece' at la. to ls. 51d., lamb., Is. to le. led.; South Australian 574 bales, fleeces, ls. to Is. 31d., lambs, Is. Id. to is. 5d.; Swan River, 275 bales, fleeces at Is. 14d. to la 31d. ; lambs ; le. 21d. to ls. 7d. New Zealand, 465 bales, fleeces at Ilid, to le. 21d. ; lambs, ls. 2141. to Is. sd. Cape, 1,614 bales, fleeces, 91d. to Is. 31d.; lambs, ls. to Is. 4d.; making a total of 42,968 bales, a considerably larger quantity then has ever yet been sold at one series of sales. Besides the above, we must not omit to notice the sales at same time of the following, not Colonial: Odessa, merino, 491 bales, at Is. Id. to ' la Bd.; ditto, zegoi, 626 bales, at 61d. to Is. Id. Spanish and Portuguese, 185 bales, at 71d. to ls. 2d. Buenos Ayres, 217 bales, at 21d. to 741. East Indies, 400 bales, at 2d. to 81. Sun dries: 2,454 bales, which include 997 ballots Peruvian wool, making a total of 4,373 bales. The prices obtained for groan, locks and pirws, slipe and skin, were in proportion to the prices of the finer descriptions. It is gratifying to mark the prices realised for the New South Wales and Van Diemen's Lead wools, which we believe have a fair margin, and must operate as an encouragement to the growers in oar distant colonies. On the other hand, the falling off, or we might more cor reedy say the entire diappearance of Spanish wool from our markets, where, only 25 years ago, about 60,000 bales used to be imported annually into Bristol alone from Bilboa, tells a melancholy tale of the internal resources of that country at the present day compared with its prosper me condition before in testine ware of rival factions turned the ploughshare iiro a sword, and reduced Spain to her present un happy condition. The forthcoming number of the Banker's Maga zine ban the following very interesting returns of the amount of specie imported from foreign countries for the half-year ending 30th June, by the various lines of mail steamers arriving at Southampton : It appears that the West Lail steamers for the six months in question have brought to Southampton the enormous amount of gold and silver, in dust, bars, coin, &e., to the value of 10,570,655 dols. (or say, in *WT8,1.60,114,1331 ). the product of the mines in Mexico, California, Chill, Peru, Bolivia, and other South American States. Of this amount about 930,000 doll. have been received from California, ' either direct or vi 4 Valparaiso, Lima, at which ports the dust had been milted into bars. The Peninsular and Oriental steamers have brought from Alexandria, during the same six months, gold and silver coin value 498,5911. ster ling, the msjorlty of which has been specie remittances from lladis, for account of the Hon. East India Company. The Ceastantiaeple steamers have brought, within the same tleadplll sad silver coin valued at 540,0001. sterling, and the otomon Mut Spain and Portugal, specie, value 360,0001. sterling; so that the total amount of specie received at Southampton by the several lines of steamers from all parts of the world, from the lit of January to 30th of June, in clusive, reaches 3,512,7241. sterling-an amount which, if consisting entirely of silver, would weigh upwards of 400 tons, and, in gold would weigh nearly 35 tons. The advice' from Havre report a dull market for cotton during the week, the total sales not having ex ceeded 6,844 bales, or about one-half the quantity sold the previous week. The prices were no longer so firm though the quotations remained the same. The sales of coffee exceeded 9,000 bags, and the prices obtained were at an advance of I franc. For sugar the market continued very languid. The commercial advice. from Constantinople are to the 14th July, at which date there was more activity in the produce market. Goats'-hair was attracting attention, and about 250 bales had realised piastres 13 to 131, at which it was no longer attain able. Sheep's wool had advanced in prior, and about 4,000 kintals had been disposed f at 151 piastres per kintal, which is an advance of 7 pzastres over last year's prices. Although the best time for the purchase of :silk' in Constanti nople is from August to Noveniber, still the dealers at Brume were disposing of the new silk es it arrived in small parcels at current rates. Maize was abundant at 18s. 10d. to 21s. sa. free on board. From Smyrna accounts have reached us to the 16th July. The crops of fruit promised to be very abund ant; that of figs alone it was expected would not be under 5000 toes. For madder roots there was an active inquiry, and 400 sacks had been sold at 191, since when the price had risen for good roots to 200, equal to 33a.per cwt. free on board. Of Vslonia the stock was computed at 1,500 tons, and 4,000 tons were expected to arrive from the interior. Good quality was in quired after ; English assortment at 91. 51. to 91. 17s. 6d., with a mixture of 15 to 20 per cent. ; Trieste quality at 101. 3a. to 11/. per ton, free on board. Gum Tragacanth was very scarce, and none expected for 3to 4 months. Persian berries sold currently. Sheep's wool firm, worth, in the grease, 30. to 51 per lb., free on board. Cotton was quoted at 30. to 3 2 ,d., at which there were no pur chasers. Of opium there remained of the old crop but 150 baskets on the spot, and 200 in the interior, at market. There was nothing doing, and the price was nominally lle. 83 per lb. free on board; only 30 baskets of the new crop had been brought forward. For imports the following quotations were given :—lndigo -Ben gal, 75 to 85 ; cochineal, 82 to 83 per oke. Sugar : Crashed English, 240 to 246 per Motel. Coffee : St. Domingo, 525 to ' 650 per 100 okes. Freights for England were a little lower; %/lonia, 47e. to 48s. per ton ; madder roots, 70s. to 755. per ton. Ex change on London : In Beshliks, 112 to 1121 per X ; in bill money, 127 to 127} per Z. The Diario de Comereio, of Havannab, publishes the following from Nicaragua respecting the opening of the communication acmes the Isthmus of Panama. The letter is dated from Leon : We are awaking from our dormant condition. Various vessels, of all sizes, touch at Resit° with passengers from Panama destined frx California and have left some money behind them. To the north, in San Juan, we have also yes. sets with passengen and small steamers preparing to ascend the river, and navigate the Lake, and others about to follow them. The legislature have already ratified the contract made by still keep both Austrians and 11111411116 at bay. On the other hand there is no disguising the danger of our position, should the Rearms, while the way is open, march directly upon Pesth. In the essaawhile, them is nor the slightest appeeuanos of panic either among the government or among the people. The Diet is to meet on the 2nd July, and will, I doubt cot, display as much resolution and dignity in its pro medley as if the enemy, instead of being at their gates, were a thousand miles off. The accompanying sketch of military operations in Hungary is of some value, inasmuch as it 'bows the actual position of affairs at the moment of Rum" intervention. The Hungarians, on all points victori ous, had almost on every side driven the enemy . to their frontiers. Oat of sixty oomitats, of winch Hungary is composed, four only remain in the hands of the Austrians, end from these by a sure and steady process of military ejectment they were in the Donne of being speedily expelled. In Transylvania, the Austrians, with their Russian auxiliaries, had been also defeated and compelled ignominiously to take refuge in the Turkish territory, and though this part of Hungary has again been invaded by an army of 20,000 Russians from Wallachia sad the Baco vine, the Hungarians, however indignant at this unprovoked violation of their territory, have sot been disheartened; they confidently hope end believe that these intruders will receive another signal chastisement at the hands of the brave Gen. Bem ; neither do they trouble them selves mach about some thou.and Russians who may swell the force of the Austrians, and whom they may fairly meet in the field before Presburg ; but when, in addition to these enemies behind and bolero them, their flack is menaced by more than 70,000 Russians pouring down upon them in a triple torrent from the Carpathians—when the position acquired by so much toil ad the best blood of the nation (and has it not been poured forth like water ?) is thus unscrupulously violated ; when these accumulated dangers and vicis situdes thus suddenly present themselves—should we have reason to be surprised if the shock had for a moment proved too much for them—if their energies were paralysed by the most deadly of all human feelings —the conviction which the wise may come to that there is no help in counsel, and the brave that there is none in courage and resolution—a brief interval of despondency would under such circumstances be natural, and to some extent, I doubt not, it is experienced by the people and government of Hungary. But however this may be, you may be certain that the cause is not yet to be despaired of: that they will rally—rally under much better auspices, and with much ampler resources than they did before. They may east a lingering look on the glories of their present position,—it may cost a pang to relinquish the fair city they have only yesterday so valiantly repined ; yet be assured these sacrifices and many others will be made. The signal of retreat e ill be sounded along the Vega and the Danube ; and with the exception of a solitary oasis or two, such as Peterwarradin or Comoro, the wh le country, rendered untenable by the irruption of the Hessian army, will be abandoned. Then all who have sabres or muskets, and many unarmed thousands that only look to the reversion of those treasures, will retire upon the Theism, on the barks of which river, or in Transylvania, the scattered corps of the Hungarian army may be concentrated, and the last battle of Hungarian freedom be lost or won. For the execution of measures of such importance and magnitude a few days only are left, yet in that brief interval the Diet will once more assemble ; they will make a last solemn protest against this Russian intervention—perhaps a lest fruitless appeal to the western powers. This flagrant violation of every in ternational right, this murderous annuli upon the lives, properties, eni liberties of a whole nation, are crime', the responsibility of which will not merely attach to the immediate authors and instruments of them ; it will weigh equally on the misguided govern ments who have the power to prevent them, and will not, and for whom, as surely as there is justice in heaven, a heavy day of retribution and bitter repentance will arrive. The responsibility which the Diet in the agonies of national dissolution may endeavour to fix on these governments may be such, perhaps, as her Britannic MnjeAty's government may not be disposed to n'ttob much importance to; but there is another sort of re sponsibility which ministers owe t 3 the people, and which, in grossly neglecting their political and com mercial interests, and culpably conniving at the de struction of the balance of power in Europe, may infer very serious consequences to themselves. And have they not with resnect to the affairs of Hungary been guilty of a palpable dereliction of duty ? While the quarrel was between the government and the people of Hungary, England was by no means called upon to interfere in it. Individuals in their blind partiality to absolutism in its most hideous form, might adopt what construction or profess what admiratim they pleased for the acts of the Austrian government; they might admire the policy which excites race ag iinst race in order to profit by the common confusion and slaughter for their common subjugation —.they may extol the dignity and good faith exhibited in one day, denouncing a man as a traitor to his country and of appointing him governor of that country the next; they may consider it fair and justifiable to trifle with the most solemn obligations, and to ratify or annul at pleasure the constitutionol liberties of a great nation—they may uphold the right of the emperor to dismember a kingdom—the preservation of whose integrity formed the chief condition upon welch he held its crown—they may seek to confound the most rational reforms, by which the last vestiges of ' serfage and feudalism were abolished, and constitu tional freedom established, with the vagaries of socialism or red republicanism in France; all this ex travagance the English flatterers of Austrian des potiset—for there is no accounting for taste—are at liberty to indulge in if they please ; but it might have been expected that the British government would have formed its judgment on very different grounds—while the struggle, we repeat, was con fined to the people and government of Hun gary—that judgment it was not called upon to express ; but the armed intervention of the Emperor of Russia at once gave us the right, if it did not impose on us the obligation, of interfering in the question ourselves—the whole merits of which should then have been fairly and impartially ex amined. But above all, it was incumbent on her Britannic Majesty's government closely to scrutinise the grounds upon which the Emperor of Russia jus tified his intervention, viz., that the movement had been begun and developed by his Polish suejects for revolutionary purposes of their own. Now this is a statement by which our government ouiht not to have been misled. The Poles that have taken part in this movement are neither numerous nor influential here, and it is monstrous to say the movement ori ginated with them. Have they not, moreover, been Cted, ever since the Emperor's manifesto, from a v erng tho Russian territory? The fact is, that neither the revolution nor the intervention were pro voked by the presence of a few Poles in this country. The Emperor has sacrificed the lives of thousands, and probably the peace of the world, to the indul gence of hie own proud and vindictive passions, simply becsuse he could not brook the humiliation occasioned by the defeat of his troops in Transylvania. Whatever they may affect to believe, our goverument mast be sensible that this was the real cause of the intervention. EMBEZZLEMENT DT • OOLLICEING CLERK.—On Monday a man of r mamfae, named Williams, was charged before Mr. SrllU. at Llompool, with bevies, em belated different nune d menep bdooglos to his employers, Mesas. Garnett and Mare, engineers. North Foundry, Conalibls Sullivan Misted that he appre hended the prisoner at one o'clock ma Ikanday morning.— Mr. Garnett stated that the prisoner had ben empowered to coffee the moneys for their firm, and that he had collected several rums of which he had given no account. Rune of them sums were obtained by the prisoner after he ceased to be in their employment, his services having been dispensed with in April. Mr. Brownbill. of the firm of Murray and Co., railway.contracton,Greatiloward-street, proved having paid to the prisoner on the 19th of May, on account of that satisfied firm, 341. 10. 6d. He was that the prisoner had applied for the money in the name of Gamete and Moore, and he remembered his settling the account. This does ' meet -as handed to the magistrate, when he remarked that it was an act of folly in persons to pay money without re coiling the legal stamp; the consequence in that case was, that the document could not be given in evidence. Mr. Garnett observed that Williams was not in their service at the time, and Mr. Rushton, on reconsideration, being of opinion that the evidence could stand, the case resolved itself into one of obtaining money under false pretences. Another case, the circumstances of which admitted of no doubt, wan then gone into lir. Garnett dated farther that the prisoner had alai noshedfarther, the sum of 101. on the ' 2nd of December loot from Maws. Ashton and Co., and so other sum of 61. 18s. 6d. in February from another firm. Neither of these ram had been accounted for by him. The rp ' er was committed for trial as two Watments.— Stasslard. the government with the North American company, grant ing elven exclusive privileges for 40 years ; whilst our plant• pots:Ala:l in London, M. Castellon, in accordance with his instructions, has mule a contract for canals with Mr. Wheel wright, director of the Fulfil Steam Company, subject to the ratification of the government. This contract is based on the principles of the " federation " with the King of Holland. We have here just now Mr. White, a lawyer, front New York, representing another company in the United States, who offers, it is said, greater advantages than the first con tract. This announcement has occasioned considerable movement usaapt us, and will emancipate us from the state of inseivity is which we are at present. The increasing importance of the trade of New Turk may be inferred from the folios log statement published in a New York contemporary of the amount of dude.% paid on imports during the week as com pared with former years, viz. : The value of merchandise imported during the past week was nearly double that for the corresponding week last year, and largos in excess of the imports for the same week in 1846 and 1847. The duties upon such • large importation were of course large, and the deposits in the sub-Treasury ►eve increased. The rem ipts at the office of the Assistant- Treasurer of this port yesterday amounted to 78.523 dole. 58c.; payments, 33,665 dole. 16c.; *oleic, s, 52,000 dole.; balance, 1,187,682 dole. Toe July interest on the g. vernment debt having been nearly all paid, the accumula tions in the treasury hereafter will be rapid. COT' , ON.—Livearoot, Jute 31.—The market to-clay was very stiff, but the priors ..f Friday were not changed. The sales were ab .ut 6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export and 2,000 for speculaLion. Mancttiaras, 'lux 31.—The 'Oriels from abroad which h.d oome to h Ind since thturday's market were more cheer ing. There was no advance in prior, but the quantities moving off were eery con-iderable, and the prospect for the future was altogether mote cheerful than heretofore. The toes of our market to.day was decidedly healthier, and there wee a larger business done at moderate prices that is to say, a little under the extreme rates that were asked Let week. CLOTH.—Lszos, JULY 31.—Whither from the agri cultural meeting absorbing so much attention, or from the little choice of cloth in the markets, the attendance of buye•e in to-diy's market has been very limited, and consequently the amount of business leas than fur several of the past market daps. MANUFACTURES.— iIVDDICIPPIELD, July 31.—We harm had rather a quiet market to-day, and a good business doing to order, and the maaufacturers are all burr. WOOL, Hrnossenum, July 31.—The demand for this artier hos been very limited dosing the past weak. The higher prices paid during the Landon tales, just over, have had the tendency to dump the spirits of the little manWaoturers, who d e n o t seem at all anxious to lay I. stocks of either colonial or German Wool.

The quantity of Wool eiltibited was very large, numbering upwards of 20,000 fleeces, which chiefly consisted of Soul h4lovnis ; and from the absence of accommodation many samples remained one posed. Business commenad at 11 o'clock sluggishly ; but ate later period a deal of business was trans acted, and nearly the whole on oft r changed bands, at fair price.

Wheat, white , to .Bs. per qr. ; red, 40s. to Os. Hutt., July 31 -The weather has been broken (luring the past week, and heavy rain has fallen on siveral occa-iona. All reports agree that we have bed more wet than is good for Wheat, and amply sufficient kw spring corn. The period of reaping is retarded, and no doubt move sun is desirable than we now experience. The trade is lifeless ; holders retain their fiegnneast, though supply is rather in ex cess of demand, but it must not be foreotten that the inland factor, miller, and dealer are eery bare of stock, that coaaumptinn is great, and any alarm for the crop would tell cenaibly on prices at their pre sent moderate range. Our farmers brought a fair supply of Wheat for this day's market, but we cannot w,ite the market more than Is. lower.

Lied LYTTELTON inquired whether in the case of schools connected wi h the British and Foreign School Soci ety, the Wesleyan Methodists, and the Free Kirk of Scot. land, the conditions which had been agreed on between the Committee of the Privy Council and certain bodies repre senting those religions communities, would be equally com pul,ory with those which had been imposed on the Church of England schools ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied that what were celled the management clauses adopted and enforced by the committee of education were enforced alike with respect to schools in connexi in with &neaten and others in connexion with the Church of England. He was glad to say that a perfect understanding existed between the committee of education and the church and these various dissenting bodies on this subject. THE TWELFTH OF JULY. Earl RODEN then rose to bring under the notice of the house the part which he had borne in the recent oecurrances on the 12th July, at Dolly's brae. In doing so, he begged to usure 'heir lordships that nothing was more irksome to him than to have to trespass for • moment on their lordships' attention on • subject per onal to himself. But there might arise circumstances which made it incumbent on a member of that house to take the opportunity of the privilege which in such capacey he possessed, of eliciting the truth and dis proving anymis-stag meat which might have been made else where towards that individual, however humble a member he might be of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear.) He was most anxious, after the circumstarces to which he had alluded bad taken place, at once to have appeared amongst their I etehips to refute those statements, and he should have done so before now had henot been detained in Ireland by severe indisposition. The circumetances to which he had alluded, and which he had no doubt were already present in th-ir lordships' minds, referred to an occurrence which took place in the north of Ireland on the 12th July last, when an unhappy collision took place between the two parties in that country and in his neighbourhood, which collision, however, he would main tain, in spite of all contradiction, he had done his best to prevent, and which, he would also maintain, in spite of any further contradiction, ne individual, either in that country or this, more sincerely lamented than himself. (Hear, hear.) His reason, however, for now troubling their lordship was in consequence of a comment which had been made else where upon those melancholy circumstances of which he thought he had just reason to complain, for they had re ference to himself individua ly, and placed him in a light in ' which he should be sorry to remain in the eyes of their lord- ships, whose good opinion he so highly estimated. In refer- env! to these circumstances he found it reported in the public papers, that within the walls of parliament it was stated (by Mr. Reynolds) " That the author of these murders was Lord Roden. It might be very unpleasant to hon. gentlemen to hear this; but he believed that it would turn out so. What were the facts of the case ? That Lord Roden the late Grand Master of the Orangemen of tnat province, invited 1,500 men to enter his domain on the 12th of July, armed to the teeth, dressed in all the gaudy colours which Orangemen wore aspen their bloody amiiver airy ; that he prepared a banquet for teem ; that he ap peared among them in the dress of an Orangeman ; that he read extracts from the Holy Bible to them ; that he regaled them with beer, pewter, and whisky ; and, atter all that had occurred, that they were to go to a place called 1) ,fly's-brae, choosing a circuitous route and a bad road, because the im mediate district about Dolly's•brae was notoriously inhabited by &aan catholics; that, not satisfied with spending the d iy in triumph, with shout', and songs, and touts of Boyne Water, when they became inebriated they determined to go to the very houses of their neighbeirs to insult them—and safely, too, for they had the Enniskillen Dragoons before them, and two companies of infantry in tneir rear, and the police at their Hunk." It was that he might have an opportunity of directly contradicting these user tims that he appeared before their lordships upon V.e present occasion, and he was sure they would agree with him that it was natural he should take that op portunity of explaining as clearly as he could the exact facts of the ease from beginning to cod, lc,ving it for their lord seips and the country to determine whether the stmt. meLt he had Just made was or was net contrary to the fact. In doing so he should not retort by any severe remerks upon those individuals who bad used that language. He would only sty that if there existed in their hearts one splrk of generosity, they would feel at this moment now that they knew the truth, much greater pain at having made those statements than had been inflictel on himself by their utterance. (Hear, hear.) The circumstances of the ease were these : In the year 184.5 or 1846 the act which prevented processions in Ireland aimed. He would remind their lordships how extremely attached to those processions the great masa of the laumhlet classes in Ireland were, and how difficult even it was when there was a law against them, in all instances, to suppress them in that cosatry. He would also remind their lordships that at this time last year there was existing in Ireland a spirit of rebellion which per vaded almost every district, but which had now, by the Mt sling of God, been suppressed. The great cry of those who were engaged in that rebellion—their great shiboleth was the repeal of the union ; but at the same time there were very many, not only of the higher closes, but of the poorer also, who desired that the union should be maintained ; and to make that feeling known, they were anxious to let it be seen upon the 12th of July, when the Orangemen were in the habit of meeting. Toe leaders of the Orange party did not discourage that msetina, because they felt that it was • time when it might be beneficial to show that there was a large class of loyal men who were opposed to the repeal cry, and were anxious to support the government of the country. Aecordingly, upon that occasion, a meeting took place, with out any collision occurring, or anything which could give occasion for after-regret. About a fortnight before the 12th of July of the present year, he was visited at his house by • gentleman who was a great leader of the Orangemen in that part of the country, who informed him that the Orangemen were most desirous, on the 12th of July, to visit him, in order to have an opportunity of testifying their affection for him personally. He (Lord Roden) replied that he was now at an advanced p.riod of life—that those were things which he had once entered into and once enjoyed, but that he enjoyed them no longer and that he thought it would be much better they should not come. At the same time, he stated that there were some members of his family in very delicate health, and that the excitement and noise created by such an assembly congregated there might be prejudicial te their health. The gentleman, however, still pressed the matter upon hi.e, and said if he mold not receive them they must take field at Cutlewellan, which was about two miles distant. He (Lord Roden) then took two days to consider what his final answer should be, and ultimately told the gentleman, that after consideration he had deter mined that be could not invite them ; but that if they were to take field near Cudewellan they would be muck safer, in case of a disturbance, within the gates of his park than any where else, and all he could say was, that on the 12th of July he would not shut his gate against any loyal Irishman. The 12th July arrived ; those persona came to his gate and were admißad. He (Lord Roder) stood at his hall-door, and remained there until those Irishmen, to the number of about 2,000, with their wives and children accompanying them, passed the door, and be had bad an opportunity of acknowledging their kindness. There happened at that time to be lying in his house a near relative of his, afflicted with the cholera. He communicated that circumstance to those persons, so that no noise might be made, and they passed through is so orderly and quiet a manner , that not a word was heard, nor was their presence known in the sick chamber. With regret he perceived that some of those men were armed, but until they arrived at his door he was not aware of the fact. He thought that it could not be an illegal assembly, because on the 12th July, 1848, when so many came forward to support and maintain the legislative union, many were armed; and again on the 17th March, when the procession of the ribbon men took place, he himself maw many hundreds of them all armed—and more than that, in his own village, and over his own gate they fired a volley ; but there was no attempt to stop either the Orangemen on the 12th July, 1848, nor the ribbonmen in March, 1849. If be bad had the most remote idea that the carryingof arms made that procession an illegal one, not one of those men shonld have entered i.is gate. Not more than 300 of the 2.000 men present were armed, and of these very many had come from distant parts of the country, and had reason to apprehend that they should be attacked on their way. At none of their other assemblies in Ireland on the same day were the orangemen, he believed, armed. The procession having gone to a part of the park where a platform had been erected, he had felt it his duty. as It was his inclination, considering that at his advanced period of life he might not again meet them on such an oc casion, to address the usemblage. It bad been stated that in his address be had certainly desired the orangemen to observe peace, if possible , but that he had also inculcated upon them that they must meet violence with violence. This advice, it had been added, he had given to men whom he had previously inflamed, by feasting them with porter and whiskey. Now as to this point, he would simply stite that there having been celebra'ed, the day before, the annual dinner which he gave to the school-children on his estate, he had directed that six barrels of small beer, more than the quantity usually provided for the children, should be sent to his house, and these six barrels of small beer were. with some bread and cheese, all the feasting that he had given to the Orange profession. (Hear, hear.) A s to th . inflammatory harangue which he was described to Itoti addressed to the meeting, he had an exact report of u t ii speech in his band, taken at the time, and he would be to read this report of his speech to their lordships. My dear Brethren— I am anxious to express how grateful I Icalg e the spontaneous and unsolicited visit to me this dav, on the now g i gg oar glorious anniversary.

It is a greet pleasure to communicate to yeg on the present occasion the probable arrival of our Gracious Quay and her royal consort in this country. Oh, that we could see lee fairy bark now approaching that shore—that we could see her :anft g en that beach—how these woods would resound with the shouts your thousand, ten thousand wetoomes—how her eyes none sparkle at such a sight now before me, in the assetnCing of the multitude of loyal men, ready to lay down their lives the defence or her crown and her rights I (Great enemies and shouting.) We have hid much to complain of by the various parties who have ruled the country for the I* 20 years. "The rowers have brought us Into deep water "—wain, seen heavy blows and great diecouraerment given to pmtestamiwa• but still maintain your loyalty—you will never forget, I trust, ta l i your motto Is unchanged—.

' _ The noble eailsittithat,hsl4ag thus far explained his ohm conduct, to the satisfaction, he hoped, of their losthhips— (hear, hear)—he would not on that occesim g, further the case, but await the result of that inquiry which then. vernment had most properly directed to be made into the whole matter. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had listened with the as• moat attention to the statement which the noble earl had kit it to be his duty to make, but the noble earl would not charge him with disrespect, if, in the exercise of what Fermi dared a wise discretion, he did not, under the cireurartances of the pending inquiry referred to by the noble ear, himself; express on this occasion either his dissent or his utunt to soy part of the noble earl's statement.

That statement refereed to a transaction which had created the utmost pain in the minds of all who had heard of it—to a transaction involving a loss of property, of life, and a deep injury inflicted on the feelings of a lerge pr perils of the population of Ireland. When the result of the in quiry which the government had instituted alleald be made known, their lordships w.oold hive the memo of judging in what circumstances the tram action originated. All he could say on the present occasion was that it must be matter of deep regret to all to witness a state of society in which, from no motive et passion or interest, without any proooestion, but m. rely ~n account of the recurrence of a particular day in the cal, 0,: r, such proceedings u these should talc. place. (Hear, tb•re) If no effectual remedy should be found again t these outrages, the legislature must interiere with some special manure. (hear, hear) ; but—anl he was glad of the opportunity distinctly to make the observation—in the mean liens it was not be supposed that the country was destitute et the mean of, at .11 events, encountering the evil. 'The continuo law el the land denounced all such asaemtileges, whether sinned, as in the present case, or unarmed, calculated to excite peke ,tisturbanee and to endanger the publi: peace, as in them selves wholly illegal—( hear, hear)—and to be pros. cured u such by the government, by the magistracy, and by every well-wisher to the country, who were bound to hoer nn Coy in Fringing the offenders to justice. (Hear, hear.) So fir from there neing anything in the existing circumstances of Ireland to warrant such an outrage as this, the cireumstances of Irland, on the contrary, were such u to enforce upon the mind of every rational, loyal, and well-disposed porsou is Ireland, a course of a wholly opposite character. (Heal BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord BROUGHAM having first expressed hie entire ma. currence in the course adopted by his noble friend opposite is relation to the statement which the noble earl had very properly made, proceeded to say that he desired is a few words to c ell the attention of their lordships to the expediency of adopting some course to ensure that the Mesh which passed .hrough parliament should be not only well and correctly and safely prepared, but should be also well, and correctly, and lately superintended in their passage through parliament. (Hear, hear.) At present many sot i nportant measures were in their passage through parlia ment, so altered by incongruous ineertions in clause', se am tilated by the excision of probably the most vital provident; so perverted by new clauses, that when they came back to the house whence they proceeded, they were no longer recognisable by their authors.. (lieu ! hear.) What he considered was, that there should be a board appointed for the purpose of preparing bills and of exercising a vigilant inspection over the bills ia their proems through either house, rot, for an instant, sa control the legisl tare, but only to p: event it from being ab surd and incongruous—for the purpose of siding it. He remembered a c.ese in which a bill of Sir Samuel Homily's had been so twisted about, so altered, so petrel ted, so Eta figured, so added to here, so cut dawn there, that when it came back to its learned parent he bad not the slightest recollection or knowledge of it. The evil of which he complained was one which alike impeded and embarrassed the makers of laws and the judges who had to expound those laws, and who were harassed and confused at every turn by the incongruous and contradictory enactments which incongruous and contradictory legislation sent down to them. (Hear, hear.) It was not only the me • with private, or quasi private bills, where of two parties one conceded to the .they this or added that, to secure cooseut to the rest, wholly regardless of the public, but it was almost as much the case with public bills of the moot universal and vital importance, as, for example, with the Bankrugcy Con solidation Bill,the 273 clauses of which the House of Commons had despatched in two hours, being at the rate of about 35 seconds a clause. (A laugh.) The motion which he was about to make was for a return of the number of cues in which proxies had beer called for the last ten years, and the number of eases in which votes by proxy hvd umed the di vision against votes present. Although he was somewhat sore on this subject of proxies, having been defeated by them on three occasions within the last few months, he was a friend to the principle of proxies, and considered it a print'. lege of which their lordship , ought not to divest themselves. He might mentiem another case, often r.curred to by the late Lord Eldon, in which, upon a question wherein that learned person felt a very deep interest (the regency question, as we understood), although there was a majority on the part of the presents in favour of a motion he had submitted, that motion was carried against them by the proxies, the numbers being relatively 90 and 102. Olean ) Thai un expected result, it was generally understood, had had the effect of urging Lord Eldon, for many . years afterwards,te carry on a sort of war in disguise against proxies. In the year 1637 it was permitted to their lordships to call proxies on judicial precis: ding, even; and no alteration was found to have occurred in this practice till the entry in their lordships' journals of a standing order in the year 1783, the famous case of Lady Mecelesfield, where it was foul that such an eression of the privilege was very near led ing to a Judicial murder at the instance of the poet Seaga The order (Leered that in future no proxy should he d force on any vote on judicial questions. Lord REDESDALE had listened with very great attm den to the statement which the noble and learned lord kind just made, of the inconveniences arising from the walla a batter system of management and preparation of ball, amendments having been introduced into them ebb where, which rendered it necessary that they should be Silk brought under their lordships' consideration. No dealt if any practical measure could be devised for obviate( these hasty errors and oversights, or getting such imperial business into shape, it would be highly desirable, sad a very beneficial thing for all parties. But he (Lord Bei* dale) feared that this was precisely one of those cases whores measure, ab nit the expediency of which there could be as second opini io in pointed principle, would be found abseiled, impracticable in execution. With regard to the constitutional' any commission, for the revision of bills such as the noble sad learned lord seemed to glance at—that was a consideratioa very grave importance, and suggested doubts in his (Lard Redesdale'r) mind, as to how far the plan could be carried out without involving the most serious questions touching their lordships' privileges. Of whom must such • coM mission consist, if not of persons " learned in the law," according to the technical phraseology aPPlilca,, to such bodies; and to what, in effect, erase their revision of public and private bills awaiting the deci sion of the House of Peers amount to, if not to a delegeliag, by that house of its faculties of legisl a tion ? (Hem) However valuable, therefore, such an amendment in the mode of preparing bills and other business might be, as tks noble lord bad suggested, with a view to obviate in feature those evils of which he had with so much justice complained , he fldsrd Redeadale) must be permitted to repeat that lie considered the object sought to be attained by his noble and learned friend was wholly impracticable. Re must, thee: fore, vote against it as a measure that would inevitably lag to more perplexity and confusion than any which it was de signed to remedy. With respect to the calling of peal" that, also, was a question of great delicacy and importance. He himself had been a member of their lordships house now for about '2O years, atd in all that period until the precut see- Bien he had never known more than two instances inwhiet the proxies bad struck a majority on the vote against a me wiry of " presents ." The one of these was on the Earl of Wick low's motion in 1832 on Irish educed n ; the other was el later period, on the proposition for taking the evidence d witnesses on the Silk Weavers' Bill at the bar. In the coma of the present session, however, he must say this calling for proxies had been pushed to a much greater extent. had been no leas than four very remarkable casesof this am In one of them, although on counting " presents " there ap peared for a given motion a majority of 14, it had been actu ally set aside by the proxies called. Another instance -4 motion of the Duke of Richmond's—had been memorable within but a few weeks for a similar result; the Pres i° cat
