As a testimony that the alleviation of the miseries of Ireland is not incompatible with the legislative Act of Union, we may direct attention to the ::,'arlia tnentary business with `which the present memorable session is drawing to a conclusion. The whole capacities of the Legislature, appear to be concen trated upon the amelioration of the distresses with whichlheanbabitants of that island are threatened ; the whole -rteg[o k ftfte Administration seems to be evoked by the exigencies which are there apparent. Various - measures have been concocted: and p used through the different ordeals necessary to enable them to come into operation. % 1 111 , ..• THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAV EVENING, AUGUST 26 , 1846. Those measures have generally been devised by considerable ingenuity, and enlarged by no incon siderable foresight ; they are generally genial for their benevolence, aid satisfactory for their com prehensiveness. It would be superfluous to enume rate Bills already so familiar to the multitude : the main enterprises undertaken by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues, whereby they have commemo rated their inauguration in office, and illustrated the termination of the session of 1846, were, first, the equalisation of the sugar duties, and, by that, the extension of the principles of free trade; and, secondly, the assuaging of Irish suffering, and the modification of the legislative enactments hitherto enforced in Ireland. Those enterp r i ses are n ow lalmost completed. Unless Eromething of an unprecedented character transpire in the interim, Parliament will be pro rogued on Friday. On the twenty-eighth of August, one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, the most remarkable, and, in all essential respects, the most glcrious session recorded in the history of the British Parliament, will have been brought to a conclusion. A more satisfactory session could not have been, as far as its accomplishments are concerned. The nation is grateful for the concessions there granted to them ; the memory of the past seven months will elicit the admiration of posterity. By their proceed ings during those seven months the most illustrious statesmen of the age have acquired for themselves the love of their contemporaries—some of them have achieved for their names a beautiful immortality. Future generations will recur to these times as those of extraordinary transition and po litical beneficence. Remarkable, however as the dawning of the present Parliamentary session was, its close is not one whit the less remark able. It commenced with justice to the labouring population of the United Kingdom—it terminates with justice to the people of Ireland. Whatever opportunities presented themselves for the considera rion of the wrongs of our sister country after the great commercial changes had been realised, were de voted, and are being devoted, to that most laudable en deavour on the part of our Legislature. Coercive measures have happily been found unnecessary for the maintenance of subordination among her populace. There are no longer to be either an organized surveil lance or a tyrannical interdict with reference to those weapons which have been particularised in the famous Arms Bill ever since the revolution of eighty-eight. The Cabinet Ministers have pledged themselves to prepare propositions for the better government of Ireland by the ensuing session ; and such a cordial and unaffected anxiety has been evinced by the new Administration to do justice to the peo ple of that country, that the Liberator himself (the most unlikely man in the world to be deceived by official hypocrisy, or cajoled by specious and illusory promises) has proclaimed himself ready to afford the Government all the prestige and dignity of his vast influence for the purpose of facilitating their operations. Meanwhile the Ministry are endeavouring to provide for the threatened deficiency of provisions. Their efforts in this particular are, we must acknowledge, of less apparent generosity and munificence than the interference of, their predecessors. Intrinsically, however, those efforts are animated by as much goodwill, and are dictated, if possible, by superior sagacity. Yesterday the Poor Employ ment (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee without amendment : the third reading is fixed for this day. No time, indeed, remains for any superfluous discussion upon measures of such intense exigence, especially as the hours of the session are numbered. That there is an absolute necessity for that official interposition for the decrease of destitution in Ireland, upon which during the last few days we have felt it our bounden duty to in sist, we may refer to the honest and simple declara tions made by Lord MONTEAGLE. According to that Noble Lord, the pressure this year infinitely pre ponderates over the pressure experienced in the pre. ceding, insomuch, that he considers the grant of 50,0001. for undertaking public works as " utterly inadequate." The Noble Lord assured the House that his correspondence with residents in Ireland was of the most afflicting character, and from one letter, written by a magistrate, after:travelling through the southern districts, the Noble Lord read these most calamitous and alarming expressions " You cannot conceive anything so painful as the aspect of the potatoes. In the count✓ of Cork, for miles, whole fields have produced only potatoes in a diseased state. So far from the accounts in the papers being an exaggeration, I have read none which will enable you to forni a correct idea of the magnitude of the calamity." Those are assertions written by a magistrate, and read by Lord AIONTEAGLE in the British House of Peers ! Knowing these things, we cannot but feel pride in remembering the noble munificence of Sir R. PEEL'S Administration during the last scarcity ; we cannot but recollect with gratification and with gratitude the ex penditure of upwards of 852,000/. for the alleviation of the consequent distress; nor can we ever forget that but for the prompt directions of that Right Honourable Baronet for the importa • tion of Indian corn and oatmeal, no pro visions could have been obtained by that fa mishing and penniless population ! Knowing, moreover, that the deficiency will inevit ably be of a more extended character during the en suing winter, we cannot but look with the utmost anxiety for the active and unstinting succour of the Government. It is a wise resolution on the part of the present Administration not to become, as the Marquis of LANSDOWNE termed it, "the importers of corn or meal "—no doubt it is a wise resolution. Nor is the concentration of the burden of pecuniary relief upon the baronies an in ferior instance of sagacity. We confess that by such arrangements the Government are stimulating individual enterprise, enlarging the chance of assistance to the destitute, and giving a whole some encouragement to commerce. We grant all this willingly ; we acknowledge that the accuracy of such reasoning is undeniable. Nevertheless, we trust the Government will be prepared for an emergency. We fear there may be an extraordinary demand for help both in money and in nutriment. A Government should never render itself liable to a provincial sur prise. Before the large expenditure contemplated, and which •is absolutely necessary, to render Bucking ham Palace in any respect a fitting residence for her MAJESTY is finally sanctioned, it is only right that full inquiry should take place—that a minute inves tigation should be directed, in order to ascertain whether the laying out of 150,0001. will really make it a suitable abode for the Sovereign of the British dominions. It would indeed be an unwise economy to attempt to patch up and alter that which cannot permanently be retained. The British nation entertain too pro found a respect, too sincere a feeling of affectionate loyalty for the QUEEN, to hesitate at any expendi ture by which her personal convenience or comfort can be increased. Since the happy period of her MAJESTY'S accession to the throne, she has ever evinced the greatest mode refrained from making a ra ny tion e , xt a r n a d ord h i a n s ay scrupulousy demands l on the liberality of her people for the gratification of her own wishes. The noble generosity with which the exemp tion from taxation aiforded by the prerogative of the Crown was waived when her MAJESTY assumed the burden of the income-tax, cannot be forgotten or underrated. The manner in which she came forward on the occasion of the purchase of Osborne House, and paid the entire of the expenses connected with the acquisition from her privy purse, must be appreciated ; and when at length it becomes necessary to appeal to the representatives of the people for their sanction to an expenditure which on all hands must be admitted to be absolutely unavoidable, she seeks to lessen the amount, and to make it as light as possible, by graciously desiring that the Pavilion at Brigh ton .should be sold' and the produce applied in diminution of the stuns to be voted in future years for that purpose. There is no sacrifice too great, no expenditure which should not gladly be undertaken to meet the wishes of a SOVEREIGN who has thus acted, and who has ever respected the con stitutionally -expressed wishes of her people; but it is not merely a personal ma tier : the dignity of this great nation demands thatt the Supreme Magis trate should be provid ed with a residence suitable for her exalted rank, and calculated to afford proper accommodation to the illustrious foreigners who may honour this kingdom with a visit ; but the first and chief question that must be consi dered is, respecting the healthiness of the locality. If danger should arise to our beloved SOVEREIGN or any of her family, from the situation of her palace, the nation would not readily forgive those whose duty it is to take the matter into consideration, and who from neglect or other cause, should omit to take the due and necessary precautions. Now the ground on which Buckingham Palace is built is low and marshy, the lower apartments are frequently flooded at high tides, and it is impossible to suppose that such a circumstance must not be prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants. If this be the case, it should at once be considered decisive on the question. A new commodious, comfortable, and becoming palace should be provided with as little de T lay as possible. There would be no want of sites fur such a purpose, and the money to be thereon expended would not be thrown away; for, in the first place, the 150,0001. required for the altera tions in Buckingham Palace would be saved to the country ; and, secondly, the palace, which would then no longer be required for her MAJESTY'S use, might be appropriated to public purposes. We confess that we are strongly of opinion that by far the wiser course would be at once to decide on an entirely new building before any money is thrown away on that which must eventually be abandoned. The generosity of the people should not be bounded by the moderation of her MAJESTra She may be satis fied with the removal of the inconveniences and ob jections at present experienced, and so fully pointed out in the report of Mr. BLORE ; but the whole question having been prominently brought forward, that which is most fitting for the SOVEREIGN should be decided on. We regret that the report alluded to by Mr. HUME, and which was last night asked for (in his absence) by Mr. BORTHWICK, was not forthcoming. Had it been found it might have enabled the public to come to a conclusion on the all-important point of the salubrity of the situation. We trust that steps will be taken during the recess to obtain full information on the subject, and that her MAJESTY'S Ministers may be prepared early in the ensuing session with such de tails as may enable Parliament and the nation to decide whether it would be most advantageous at once to erect a new palace, or to proceed with the repairs and alterations now proposed. The New Hamburgh Gazette publishes a letter dated Breslau, Aug. 16, the writer of which says : "I am able to announce to you, from a source worthy of credence, that a convention has been en tered into between Austria and Prussia, in virtue of which these two powers bind themselves to take care that Germany be not in any way affected in its rights on the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The presence of the King of PRUSSIA at Konigswartz has decided the question." The Voss Gazette contains an answer from Sir R. PEEL to the address transmitted to him, a short time back, from the town of Elbing. The Right Hon. Baronet expresses his satisfaction at the approbation with which his late measures had inspired the signers of the address, and enters into a short explanation of the motives which had prompted him to adopt the course of conduct thus approved of. .111. Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. The Ministers of State and all the high function aries of the Court and of the capital have waited upon Don FRANCISCO D'Assls, to offer him their congra tulations. The Clamor Publico states that the question of the marriage of Don FRANCISCO with the QUEEN had been discussed at a Cabinet Council held the day after the Prince's arrival, and it adds, " there are some persons who state that the marriage has been decided on, and is to take place immediately." The differences with Portugal are, it is said, settled, and the military cordon has had orders to remove. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 19.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash, the Four per Cents. at 214, the Five per Cents. at 22k, the Debt without Interest at 6k, and the Coupons at 20. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Opposition journals are endeavouring again to raise a war-cry against England on the subject of Otaheite• The recent elections have, however, so completely shown the utter powerlessness of these firebrand writers, that we entertain no serious alarms as to the effect which these articles may produce on public opinion in France. The Courrier Francais thus comments on the affairs of Otaheite "We publish an article from the Portefeuille, which we entreat M. Guizot to contradict as soon as posible. If he remain silent—if he be obliged to admit that the diplomatic reviewer has spoken the truth—we cannot find expressions sufficiently strong to stigmatise the shameful conduct which the Minister for Foreign Affairs has held with regard to England on the question of Otaheite. We should first of all observe that the review informs us that the question is finally arranged. M. Guizot opened in London negotiations which have ended in a magnificent result—viz., that the French pro tectorate is to be maintained in a part of the archipelago; as to the other islands, Huahine, Bora-Bora, Ragateia, and Maupiti, they are decidedly not included in this protectorate; they were restored to the sovereignty of Queen Pomare, or in a word delivered over to the ab .olute dominion of England, in whose hands, as is well known, Pomare is but a mere instrument. The conven tion adds, indeed, that these islands cannot be given up to any European power. But this is an impudent mockery. Whom is it necessary that we inform at the present day that Queen Pemare wishes not to shake off, and that she cannot shake off, the yoke of the English? if unfortunately this convention exists—and the Porte feuille positively asserts such to be the case—if it should have received the signature of M. Guizot, we should henceforth be surprised at nothing that emanated from such a man, or feel astonished if he were again to ask, in the name of another Pritchard, an indemnity for the trouble which might have been taken in spilling the blood of French soldiers!" The Constitutionnel follows in a much milder strain, endeavouring merely to turn the events in Otaheite to account as a weapon to be used against the Minis try. "In a word," says the Constitutionnel, "it is evident that we are held in check in Yapeiti by the insurgent natives. It is somewhat remarkable that their revolt broke out a short time after the arrival of the English forces sent to that coast, under the orders of Admiral SEYMOUR, to pacify the country. It is, moreover, said that the Ministry finds itself in great embarrassment on the subject of Otaheite. The new Governor demands considerable reinforcements, in order that he may not be subjected to the same checks which his predecessor had experienced. Will the Chamber sanction the sending of fresh forces, and the expense which it will entail ? Will it permit a fresh sacrifice of men and money for this ridiculous conquest ? Those are the awkward questions which it appears the Ministry cannot solve." The Ministerial journal, the Epoque, thus com ments on the articles which have appeared in the Opposition papers on this subject:— "Several of the Opposition journals are making ob servations on a hostile collision which has taken place between our troops at Otaheite and the inhabitants of the island of Iluahine. However much the loss we experi enced in the affair is to be regretted, it must not be thence inf erre d th a t our influence in the Society Islands has been in the slightest degree affected by it. On the contrary, the French and Eng lish Governments were never b etter agreed on a ques tion which may be henceforth regarded as completely settled. There is no doubt that disorders and conflicts will still disturb our new establishment ; the natives, at first badly advised, will not w i t h out di ff i culty return' to feelings of friendship ; and with perseverance, and par ticularly by adopting a new line of policy, at once ener getic and conciliatory, all these differen ces , w hi ch have only arisen from casual misunderstanding, will com pletely cease. The prudence with which Commandant Bruat conducts himself, and the anxiety which he evinces to avoid all effusion of blood, when it appears to him unnecessary for the consolidation of our pro tectorate, is to us a new guarantee of the realisation of our hopes." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 21st inst. con tains the following letter, dated Tunis, the sth : " England has been long intriguing hero to destroy the good understanding existing between the Bey of our Regercy and the French Government, but hitherto her endeavours have not availed. She does not, however, give up all hope. Her representative, Sir Thomas Reade, bad, a few days ago, a conference with the Bey, at which he warmly complained of the non-execution of the treaties, and of the al leged- ill-treatment of the Maltese by the agents of Ben Ayet, and ultimately demanded the dismissal and punishment of a relative of Ben Ayet, the Caid of the markets. He, however, left the palace of the Bey without obtaining any satisfaction. It appears—and we consider it more probable—that the ill-humour shown on that occasion by Sir Thomas Beade was caused by theindifference with which Ahmet Bey viewed an incur sion, lately executed on his territory, in the interest of peace, by General Bandon, commander of the sub-divi sion of Bona. The English Consul-General had greatly dwelt on that affair, which is of no importance." The Arab chief of the Traras, who is accused of having enticed Colonel, MONTAGNAC into the ambush ) at Sidi Brahim, has surrendered himself, declaring his innocence, and demanding a trial. On Monday the Marquis of NoßmAzinv presented to the KING of the FRENCII his credentials as Ambas sador from her Britannic Majesty. The Paris Bourse was on Monday more flat than could possibly have been expected from the satisfac tory state of affairs in France and throughout the world, with the sole exception of the lamentable re turn of the potato disease generally in Ireland, and partially on the continent. The Five per Cents. de clined because of the increasing belief that that stock would be reduced (converted) by the new Chamber. The Three per Cents. suffered from large sales made in anticipation of the liquidation. "Northern shares fell because of various rumours to which the company disdained to reply" (as we are assured). " The shares of other companies suffered, through sympathy it may be said; but the truth is, that the dulness of the market was solely owing to the absence of specu lators, the great majority of whom had left town to enjoy the shooting season, or for the various watering places." The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse at 83f. 70c. ; the Five per Cents., 121 f. 75c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1 ,275 f. ; Rouen, 960 n ; avre, 700 f. ; Great Northern, 708 f. 75c.; Avignon, 910 E; Vierzor, 6 9 5 f. ; Bordeaux, 566 f. 25c.; Troyes and Montereau, 362 f. 50c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 496 f. 25c.; Tours and Nantes, 506 f. 25c. ; Paris and Lyons, 5261. 25c.; Lyons and Avignon, 492 f. 50c.; Bordeaux and Cette, 482 f. 50c. ; Spanish Domestic Debt, 32%. „..

The first general meeting of the shareholders in the above undertaking was held this afternoon, at the Euston- square Station of the London and Birmingham Railway; Sir Harry Verney, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The report stated that the company went to Parlia ment for three lines, namely, a line from Banbury to Tring, a line in continuation of the first, from Ayles bury to Harrow, and a line from Oxford to Bletchley. The first, and a portion of the last had been granted by Parliament. The receipts of the Company amounted to 169,8081. 7s. Bd., and the expenditure to 16,1591. 7s. 4d. The report having been adopted, The Cii.e.in3rAN stated, in answer to a question, that the two lines together exceeded rather more than forty miles, and active measures were now being taken for their completion. They would probably be opened next year.—(Hear, hear.) The usual routine business of a first ordinary meet ing was gone through, namely, the appointment of directors, auditors, and a secretary, and the meeting ter minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. WORCESTER, TENBURY, AND LUDLOW RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY. This was a meeting held under the Railway Dissolu tion Act, and there was a very large attendance of the proprietary. William Richardson, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the present Company had an agreement with the Great Western Company, whereby that company had agreed to amalgamate with them, and pay them 5,0001. towards their expenses in making the line, and to place a considerable number of their shares at :their disposal. But the Great Western had with. drawn their Bill for making the Porthdynllaen line, and, consequently the agreement between the two companies would remain in abeyance. Under these circumstances he would not recommend the shareholders to dissolve the company, but to keep it alive, so that if the Great Western Company should at a future period determine to proceed, the Worcester Company could take advantage of the agree ment which had been entered into between them. In consequence of a discovery which was made 3 ester day, that a fraud had been committed respecting the funds of the company, the directors were not willing to declare a dividend in the shape of return upon the deposit. Had not this occurred, they would have been enabled to have returned gas. per share. They did not wish to allude further to this subject, as it might injure the steps which the directors felt it their duty to take. The directors would, therefore, recommend an adjournment for a week, that the funds should be returned, and that the Company should be kept alive. The following gentlemen were then appointed as scrutineers:—Mr. George Lawrence, Mr. Henry Holt, and Mr. Thomas Smith. The polling then commenced, in order to ascertain whether there was a sufficient quantity of shares in at tendance to constitute a legal meeting, A committee of shareholders to aid the directors was then appointed, and the meeting was adjourned until this day week, the number of shares present not being sufficient. _ _ For the dissolution ......

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY) (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLnoYD). IN RE ISI`LEAN. In this case his Honour gave judgment on the applica tion made yesterday for an extension of the time for the surrender of this bankrupt, on the ground of his absence from England in consequence of ill health. His HONOUR said, that on perusing the affidavit of Dr. Thompson, Mr. M‘Lean's medical adviser, it appeared quite clear that he had advised the bankrupt to go to Italy for the summer and to Madeira for the winter, as he was la bouring under symptoms of incipient consumption. Under those circumstances, the Court was fully justified in extend ing the time for surrender, and he would grant an order for forty-nine days, being the full extent of time. If, how ever, it was necessary to make an application, additional affidavits must be put in, showing the state of the bank rupt's health at the time, and of his inability to come to England. Tho order was subsequently drawn up, the Learned Commissioner intimating that any application for an extension of time must be made six days before the ex piration of the present order. CRIMINAL COURT . -(THIS DAY. _NEW COURT: (Before the RECORDER, Alderman FAREBROTIIER, &C.) A boy, named Augustus Thipps, was indicted for stealing some clothes and 7s. 6d., and S. Wichelow with receiving the same, the property of H. Bligh. From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared that on Saturday, the 25th ult., he was walking with the pri soners and some of their acquaintances, and being joined by a boy and a girl they went towards Leicester-square, where they went into a public-house. After leaving the public-house he felt very giddy, and then discovered that he had lost the clothes and money in questicn. From information he had received he had the two prisoners arrested. Phipps was first taken and confessed to having committed the robbery, and offered the prosecutor is. if he would say nothing about the matter, which he (the prosecutor) refused. The parties who had joined the prosecutor and the prisoners were examined, and stated that they were aware of the prisoner's intention to commit the robbery some weeks before, and that they had shared in the plunder. The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mary Coster was indicted for stealing some blankets and sheets from the dwelling-house of Mr. Charles Butcher, by whom she had been employed as char woman. .. —... The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. BONT-STREET._(THIS DAY.) A man of gentlemanly appearance and manners was charged by policeman F 116 with assaulting him. The policeman said that he was on duty last night in one of the lanes which lead from the Strand to the bank of the river, and saw the prisoner, with a woman of bad character, sitting at the top of the steps. Suspecting that they went there for an unlawful purpose. he ap proached them, when the prisoner called out to him, " What do you want ? Go away, policeman." And on his still advancing, rose and attacked him with a cane, which the witness now produced. The prisoner thought the policeman must have exaggerated, though not wilfully, as he could not believe that under any circumstances he could make use of such language as was ascribed to him. But, however , he wa s at the time so d run k that he cou ld no t remember what had occurred. Mr. J ARDINE sa id that t h e assau lt on the policeman was not a ve r y severe one, but still the police and the public must b e protected. lle would fine the prisoner 51., or sentence hi m to one mon th's imprisonment. The prisoner said that in that case he must go to pri. son; for although he was a person of respectability, he could prove that he had not the means of obtaining 5/., being in fact very poor. The sentence was very severe, and he hoped the Magistrate would commute it. Mr. JARDINE said he would consider the matter and make somo inquiries. In the meantime the prisoner was put buek. In about an hour ho was brought in, and Mr. JARDINE said--I have made some inquiries about you, and I learn that you are not able to pay the fine. I thought at first that you were a person who could affurd it. If I were to inflict the full penalty, lam con vine-:3 that you cAild only go to prison, and Ido not think you &serve that. Still I cannot let you go un punished, and I must fine you lOs. The Prisoner—Sir, considering that this was only a charge of drunkenness, end would be treated as such, I borrowed ss. this morning from a friend. It is all I have in the world, but if you will suffer me to go at large, I will endeavour to get more, and I will pay it all. Mr. Jardine gave the prisoner a month to pay the remaining 55., and he left the Court promising to pay within the time. Michael Downey, who stands charged with stabbing John Sullivan, at a public-house in Oxford-street, where the latter was at work, on Tuesday week, having been remanded from this day week, was placed at the bar for final examination this morning. The evidence given on a former occasion was repeated, and tsken down in the form of depositions. Sullivan himself was in at tendanco this morning, and gave the same account of the case as h a d b een g i ven by the other witnesses. He appeared very weak and thin, but seemed to be recovering. Mr. Smith, the house surgeon of King's College Hospital, gave evidence as to the nature of the wounds. The witnesses were severally bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Rhoda Smith, a well-known victimit-Tr of the bene volent, who has been several times convicted and twice tried at the Old Bailey sessions, for obtaining money under false pretences, was charged before Mr. Maltby, by Mr. Knevitt, the secretary of the Mendicity Society, with attempting to obtain money from the Countess of Lincoln, 19, Whitehall-place, under the false pretence that she was a widow with five children, one of them a son, who had died in an infirmary to which he had been recommended by Lady Lincoln, and that she wished to raise funds to bury him. Horsford, the officer of the Mendicity Society, stated that having occasion to call at No. 19, Whitehall-place, yesterday, to make some inquiries respecting another begging letter impostor, he th e re f o u n d th e p r i soner , o f whom he had been for some time in search. He told her she was his prisoner, on a charge of obtaining four pounds and some clothes from a Miss Blanchard, 19, New Ormond-street. Sic acknowledged that her re presentations to that lady Were all false, but that she had only received 21. 16s. 6d. and some clothes, and not 4/. While he was talking with her the butler came into the hall with a sovereign for her from Lady Lincoln, in answer to a'letter, addressed by the prisoner, to Lady Lincoln, which he (Horsford) prevented her receiving, by stating that her representations were entirely false. Elizabeth Hoddle, hdy's maid to the Countess of Lin coln, stated that the prisoner brought a letter, which she delivered to Lady Lincoln, and stated that she had seen Lady Lincoln a few days since, and that her Ladyship had given her assistance to get her boy, who was afflicted with a complaint on the hip, into an infirmary, where an operation had been performed on him, of which he died three hours afterwards, and that she was in want of 10s. to bury him, but requested her ladyship to lend her a sovereign. Believing her tale to be true, her ladyship gave witness a sovereign for her, which was about being given to her when the officer interfered and said her tale was all false. In answer to Mr. MALTBY, liorsford further stated that she had confessed that all her representations were false, and begged both him and Mr. linevitt not to give her into custody. The prisoner threw herself upon the mercy of the Court. Mr. MALTBY sentenced her to three months' impri sonment in the House of Correction, and the conviction to be returned. _ _ _ _ Mary Ann Macon was charged by Horsford with at tempting to obtain money from Lady Lincoln under the mpresentation that she was born at Retford, near the Earl of Lincoln's seat, and married to a man named Healing, a tenant of his Lordship. These representations Horsford proved to be false, and she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. LLOYD'S SHIPPIN G.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, AUG. 26.—Wind this day at noon, N.N.W.

MONEY and CO3IMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. • There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. Sales 5,000 bales, including 2,000 American for export. Previous rates were obtained. Shares were not brisk, but realised about previous rates. According to advices received from the Continent, the Government at St. Peters burgh have just concluded a treaty of commerce with Turkey, which is ap parently more favourable even than the last. Among the stipulations we find that the duty in Turkey upon im ports from Russia is to be 3 percent., and foreign produce, consigned in Russian vessels, is to be similarly favoured: goods exported from Turkey by Russian merchants are io be relieved of various internal dues, and to pay in stead a fixed impost of 9 per cent. For ail these and other advantages the liberal Cabinet of the Emperor Alexande r does not accord entire reci procity, because that is against the law of the realm, but graciously allows Turkey to Trade with Russia on the same footing of the most favoured nations ! The treaty is for ten years. Tile very gratifying information reached the City this morning, that the whole of the property stolen from the Great North of England Bank at Berwick has been found secreted on the premises, a fact which it is unne. cessary at present to comment upon. Money in the City is worth about 31 to 31 per cent. on first-rate security. Last year, about this time, it was as low as 21 to 24. There is very little doing i❑ the Public Securities, and prices are without alteration. Consols 95i I- ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971- to 98*; and the Three per Cents., 96 to 968.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The arrivals of Wheat of home produce up to our market this week having been on a very limited scale, the show of samples of that article here to-day was trifling, owing to which, and the increased attendance of buyers, the demand for that description of produce was firm, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, late currencies, and at which a good clearance was effected. The supply of Foreign Wheat offering was not to say extensive. Prime samples of both red and white were taken off readily by the millers at ex treme figures, but the middling and inferior kinds com manded very little attention. About 3,000 quarters of Wheat were sold, chiefly for export to Holland and Belgium. No new English Barley at market. Grinding parcels were in moderate request, at full prices. In grinding and distilling sorts, next to nothing was doing. Superfine parcels of Malt moved off steadily; other kinds slowly, at late rates. The quantity offering was small. The supply of Oats was very extensive, and more than equal to the wants of the dealers. The trade, therefore, was inactive, at Monday's prices. Beans, Peas, and Flour commanded full currencies.
