BL-K&Dza's liberation will be welcomed by every one with pleasure, but by no one with more peculiar satisfaction than by the veteran Marquis of LorrnoNDusur. It will be borne in remembrance that his voice was the one first raised in behalf of the dneeived and deserted prisoner of the Chateau d'Amboise. It was his voice that first penetrated the Councils of State with the cry of intercession. It was he who, by his reiterated appeals, elicited that remarkable promise—" Sooner or later I will liberate ADD.BL-KADER—Tot ou turd je mettrai en liberte Abd-el-Kuder I" And nobly has that promise been fulfilled—nobly has the word, solemnly pledged, been redeemed —nobly, before the allotted interval has ex- pired, before 1852 has far advanced into October, with November sad December still in per spective, have the chains been broken, and the prison doors unbarred, which, for five long years, have restricted the movements of the Arabian hero within the limits of the acene of his incarceration ! Yes ! France has at length had the blot erased from her escutcheon—the blot of that turpitude by which a valiant enemy was "Paid foe his own lofty confidence, by the ever execrable treachery of his conqueror. One of the last, and assuredly not one of the least, of the political crimes of Louis PHILIPPE has at length been expi ated. The brave EMIR, who was, in 1847, doomed by that monarch to a captivity to which one of the Princes of the House of ORLEANS had pledged his honour as a soldier that he should never be subjected —has at length received the long-delayed, but possibly on that very account the more exquisitely prized, announcement of the event of his liberation. That event, while it is in one respect nothing more than a simple act of justice, must be regarded, under the peculiar circumstances of the moment, for a thousand reasons, as a very signal evidence of clemency and magnanimity. England has, doubtless, by this time hailed these glad tidings throughout the whole extent of her cora inunitY, with a sense of admiration more than is ouatomarily accorded to an incident of this character taking place on the European Continent. Yet we cannot but conjecture also , that here, in these islands of ours, the intelligence of Ann-EL-KADER'S libera tion will be w elcomed, unworthy more o v e r, w ith a g enerous feeling of envy not worthy of the British popu lation. It willb e thought, with something like compunction by th e Franca) has i n a timl m e ore reflective, that while harshness to th e h ero- Py tsnei anner expiated her d'Amboise—England been long of the Chateau denied the reparation d ur i ng his li fet ime of the crue l- since for ever cruel ties in fl icted by her upo n th eher :aptive of th e mean and dilapidated house a t L ong has not permitted her annals to be darkoden by France e the death of ABD-EL - KADEZ during the peri o d of hi s in carceration; England on the contrary a ll owed hatred—might we not a lso s ay her fear, her abso luter terror of that one great man —to hasten the period of his death in captivity by enhancing t h e rigours which peculiarly characterised his galling and most odious imprisonment. Englishm en , re membering Chia, have, therefore, ample reasc n to envy the opportunity which has been seized by France in the treatment of the illustri ous prisoner now permitted to proceed on I:is parole to the dominions of the SULTAN C ALIPH. Such bag be en the tardy but still timely magnanimity shown towards the EMIR ABD-EL...K.ADER in his re lease from the prison near Tours. Such was not, alas ! the conduct pursued by England towards the Emperor ATAroLEO N in that rocky dungeon of St. Helena, where, for six dreadful years, he was sub- ' jected to every imaginable indignity, denied even the ' empty solace of that august title which had been re cognized as valid by all the sovereigns of Christendom, and which has again been accorded to his m mory by the grand voice of history, and by the unimpassioned judgment of a new but unforgetting generation. It is with no feeble emotions, therefore, we repeat, that England now receives intelligence of the heroic ABD•EL•KADER'S liberation. The incident however accomplished, is in itself one eminently cal culated to command the popular admiration. Con trived, however, as it was, at a moment of iny peculiar alarl interest, and under circumst ances of a singularly graceful character, the event feelings of an nature.eunqttehsutimonablyone which appeals to the nobl est It will be long and honourably remembered. It will be recounted in terms of cordial and unaffected eulo glum by the future annalists of Europe. It will be said by after historians—it may even be said by Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON in the course of his great work now preparing for publication—that the simple event of ABD•EL•KADER'S liberation was noble, but that the manner in which it was first announced to the prisoner, enhanced the grace and grandeur of the act as one of distinguished magnanimity. The announcement it will have been seen from our impression of yesterday, was, according to the official narrative of the Moniteur, person ally conveyed to the captive of the Chateau d'Am boise in those touching words : "ABD•ELJEADER—I come to inform you of your liberation." The EMIR was "deeply moved," says the narrative : and no wonder—for the address throughout was ono emi nently calculated to touch the fibres of his hero-heart. " You are to be taken to Broussa, in the States of the SULTAN," said his liberator, "as soon as the necessary preparations shall have been made ; and you will re ceive there from the French Government an allow ance worthy of your former rank." The preparations alluded to are evidently those undertaken by M. Bicciocru in his present mission—manifestly from the first, one of an extraordinary kind—to the city of Constantinople. " You are aware," were the generous words addressed, in continuation, to the Arabian cap tive—" you are aware that for a length of time your captivity has caused me a real affliction, for it incessantly reminded me that the Government which preceded me had not observed the engage ments entered into towards an unfortunate enemy ; and nothing in my eyes is more humiliating for the Government of a great nation than to misunderstand its force to such a point, or to fail in its promise." A bitter but deserved judgment pronounced upon the Government of France by the ORLEANS' dynasty—a judgment expressed in language of solemn and memo rable condemnation. "Generosity is always the best counsellor," were the words that thrilled next in the ears and to the heart of ABD-EL.KADER, " and I am convinced that your residence in Turkey will not prove injurious to the tranquillity of our possessions in Africa :" to which the Em' subsequently re sponded by swearing upon the Koran that be would never again trouble French rule in Algeria, adding that he would submit unreservedly, without any concealed design, to the will of the French Govern ment. " Your religion, like ours," added the lofty address announcing to ADD •EL•KADER the fact of his liberation, "your religion, like ours, enjoins submission to the decrees of PROVIDENCE—but if France is mistress of Algeria, the reason is, that GOD willed it to be so, and the French nation will never give up that conquest. You have been the enemy of France," were the concluding words addressed to the prisoner of Amboise by his liberator, " but I not the less render justice to your courage, to your character, and to your resignation in misfortune. That is the reason, why I consider it a point of honour to put an end to your captivity, having full confidence in your word." A noble act, nobly accomplished—and one which will redound to the glory of France, when the memory of ABD-EL-KADER shall be but one of the hero-names of antiquity; and when the Chateau d'Amboise may be pointed out as the picturesque ruins, in which, long ago, in the nineteenth century, the falsehood of au Orleans' Sovereign was in this historical and affecting interview, expiated by an act of princely j ustice and imperial magnanimity. All friends of civil and religious liberty, of a good government, and an active commerce, must desire the heartiest union between England and her transatlantic offspring. One in origin, in language, in literature, in our common law, and substantially, also, in our common capacity for municipal and constitutional government—one in the souvenirs even of the past, save the great quarrel in which half of England's best and greatest men wished success to the Colonists; one, we may truly say, even in our religion itself, accord ing to Lord Bacon, " the great bond of human life," —for their sects are nearly all offsets of our own : no two great nations of the world have so many points of union, or are so capable of acting together for their own common good and the good of the human race. In capacity for self-government the French are obviously a century behind us both, and whatever the refinement and civilization of our vola tile neighbours, it is not of a kind to blend easily with the more practical and steady energy of the English character. JONATHAN indeed differs from us in man ners. If Mr. DIsRAELI wants, as we hope he will, an enlarged staff of Income-tax collectors, America could supply us with any number, who would ask us without a blush how many dollars we were worth ; nor will our genuine Yankee fail to instruct you in the great superiority of every " States' man" to every Englishman ; while the Frenchman will indulge any amount of vanity with out lowering you. JONATHAN is both rude and proud—the Frenchman only vain, but polite withal. JONATHAN affronts us twenty times, and seals our lips in haughty silence, or, at best, opens them in curt replies, where Monsieur would only amuse us ; and yet we like Jonathan best. There is true English blood in him, after all; we can trust him better. We can sympathize with him more easily. He is ❑ot prouder at heart than Germans and Frenchmen chink half their English visitors; but he is just foreigner enough to treat us with a little of our own self-importance. The chief difference is, that he, not being yet out of his national teens, though over topping in stature so many of the older nations, feels obliged to tell us that he is the man he is, while we as his parent can take our manhood for granted. We love him heartily notwithstanding these little things; and being got now far too big for the cane, we must wait patiently for his mature age to cure him of all his nonsense. There is, however, one vice—an inherited one, alas I—which in many ways does more to destroy unity of sentiment between England and America than all other minor faults or follies on either side. Slavery is the malady, the cherished malady, which can never be otherwise than loathsome to English feeling. From the times of WILBERFORCE and CLARKSON, with their noble band of coadjutors, all but a few interested men have imbibed an ineradicable hatred of slavery. Ever since the question has been mooted in English courts of justice, the Bench and an applauding nation have argued that a man could not set his foot on the Bri tish shores, and remain a slave. We glory in British soil, as possessing a nobler treasure than California, or than any portion of the United Sta!ei—every foot of it can turn a slave into a man. Nor is this mere national ' vanity. The great body of the people fought a long and hard battle with a powerful and wealthy interest, mighty in Parliament by boroughmongering and bri bery, and rather than retain a slave in the least island of our dominions, it added 20,000,000/. to its already enormous debt ! Americans must allow that we have shown, by the best of all tests, self-sacrifice, an inex tinguishable hatred of slavery. The United States, however, cling to and that, too, under many dameatory circumstances. It flies in the face of th ei r celebrated Deed of Independence, which declares the t all men are born free and equal. It convicts their at• • laehment to that deed of the grossest hypocrisy an d selfishness. Slavery is attended in the Southern State s with its worst and most revolting cruelties and evils.. We need not recount the horrors of the whip, the chain,, and all kinds of bodily punishment ; of the unbridled licentiousness of masters, and their selling their own offspring, perhaps most readily. Of the cruel separa tions of husbands, wives, and families. Of the impos ththesee sib ma i n l i t i y s o re f j r e e c d te re d s . 3 wAhleln evidence tales nf h o o f r r t n h r e s th coloured nugh but too true, make up but one-half the mischief. What we most deeply deplore, is its working in the they do, the free States themselves, Idolizi ng , as THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1852. Union, there seems to be no moral price which they will not pay to preserve it. At one time, a fugitive slave had some chance if be once crossed into the free States. Benevolence could then aid him till he reached Briti'h soil. But that most disgraceful of modern enactments, the Fugitive Slave Law, dispelled the last glimmer of universal freedom from the free States. Free States, indeed, exist no longer. Slave holding and slave-catching States is now the only difference. Over some twenty degrees of latitude, and more than as many of longitude, a man is a thing, a chattel, a saleable commodity. The whole United States is the land of the slave. Law requires the freeman there to aid in returning to his purchaser the man (slave we should say) who pants for free dom ; it fines and imprisons the freeman who aids his escape ;—it bribes the judge before whom he is taken with a double fee if he gives him up to his infuriated pursuers, and it places the question of the fact of his freedom in the hands of that bribed judge, not in those of a jury. All Christendom feels the law to be an affront on its moral sentiments and its common civilization. It must be abolished ; nothing so horrible exists even in Austria or Tuscany ; and justly did M. HULSRMANN, when Mr. WEBSTER lec tured Austria on despotism, lecture that low-prin cipled politician on the vile slavery of America. Yet, we are sorry to say, this iniquitous law found innu merable defenders in the Free, or as we must now call them, the slave-catching States. ,Reverend Doc tors of Divinity and Professors of Moral Philosophy in Colleges pleaded for obeying a law to do iniquity. The clergy of every denomination were excusing it from the pulpit; or, at least, advocating obedience to it while it was law, though making no effort at elec tions, or otherwise, to get it repealed; and after a few violent efforts of fugitives to resist at first, the passive North began to slumber in the political embraces of the South. England witneastd the spectacle with settled, but half hopeless, disgust. When an English man went into America, he found the negro an object of aversion ; of the aversion which the oppressor feels for the victim he wrongs and depresses, but whose will he can never quite subdue. Scarcely anything gave signs of amendment. The noble, indignant voice of CHANNING was silent in the grave ; eloquence was left, but not like his. Statesmen and clergymen, more sickening in their apologies for slave laws than the statesmen themselves, seemed banded together, At last a woman with a little book a book of tales—" of fiction founded on fact"—sud denly appeared on the scene. HARRIET BEBCIIER STOWE, with her " Uncle Tom's Cabin," has com pletely awakened the States, and completely shamed the Senators and the Parsons. With a kind of spe cial inspiration by the genius of liberty, of religion, and of romance at once, she has pictured the thing to every man and woman who had a heart to feel. Faults some may find in her little book—others will think these faults beauties,—her gift was to write with a charm for all, with nothing that could much displease any. The power of her appeal lay in the verisimilitude of her descriptions. At first a whisper was heard of exaggeration—it died away. Every reader felt, that—given human nature, and the slave laws of America—and the worst she has described is but nature itself. It is as vain to deny the truth of SHAYSPERE'S portraits as of HARRIET BEECHER STOWE'S. While novels stand on English book shelves, and when slavery, as a fact, shall have long passed away, this little faithful miniature of the great abomination will still be read. It is not our purpose, however, to write an eulogium of a book over which most of our readers have laughed most heartily, though they certainly dropped tears also. It is rather our object to shake hands with the Americans over it. With them it has been as popular as with us. Their cordial welcome of it shows that they and we are in heart one. There was more soundness at the core than was supposed—more disposition to welcome a book which rebuked the slave-catchers as well as the slave•hold ers, but spoke kindly of all, and most kindly of the negro, than we had supposed. "Uncle Tom" will cement good fellowship between the thousands of native Americans and the hundreds of our country men who visit them by our ocean steamers. 'We value the book for this. We think, moreover, that it must attain its object. CLUBBING spoke to them like a man of a higher world. His morality seemed too pure for imitation. Abolition Societies irritated by their strong, though just language ; but " Uncle Tom" fills the imagination, and takes captive the heart, and the judgment too. It seems almost an honour to sur render to it—almost a disgrace to profess insensibility, Never have slaveholders before, never will they again hear the " truth so spoken in love " as it is in " Uncle Tom's Cabin." Most heartily do we wish, therefore, success to the authoress in her noble attempt. Wo men have been chief actors in many a revolution; may she be among the foremost in one of the most desirable the world has yet to witness ! America has (apart from the plague• spot of slavery) a noble future. Already she is per haps the most energetic nation upon earth ; she will soon be the most populous. With a country that commands both oceans, rivers, and lakes without parallel, a climate suited to almost every product of the earth; a population as yet nearly free from pau perism ; no national debt, and entire self-government; and a thorough-going Religious Freedom, which Lord CARLISLE himself declared he quite envied—what could hinder the advance of such a country, but the crippling, enfeebling disease of slavery ? It is this which paralyzes all her political principle, which ut terly destroys her moral weight as a nation, and which prostrates half her States, before any enemy who could put a few thousands of muskets into the hands of her slaves. Slavery it is which corrupts her in peace, which would enfeeble her in war; which lessens the cordiality of her intercourse with really free England, and which places her on lower ground before the nations of the Old World. Let America emancipate her slaves ; let her make a sacrifice such as we did, if needful, to duty, and the hearty shout of approval from England would do more to cement good feeling between the two countries than all the diplomacy of our most friendly Statesmen. As Englishmen, we wish CO give even Mr. PRYNNE his due, and the Bishop of EXETER his also. About a month ago we felt constrained to denounce the at tempt of the former to introduce the impurities and priestly tyranny of the Roman Confessional into the Church of England. Being so unfortunate as to be able to decipher the Latin of DENS and Mumma, we hare seen with our own eyes the unbearable prurience of thought imparted to Romish confessors, for the be nefit of such wives and virgins as their husbands and fathers will suffer to enter the Confessional ; and we told, and we tell again, these Anglican confessors, that if they are to be tolerated in their practices, and if their number is to increase, it is all over with the Church of England. The result of the extrajudicial investigation by the Bishop of EXETER of the charges against Mr. PRYNNE, was so utterly discordant with the evidence produced on the occasion--" an acquittal of even indiscretion," " freedom from all blame," " a hope that many young sinners had been reclaimed by him !"—that Mr. P.'s accusers could hardly remain satisfied and quiescent. They convened, accordingly, the and m army ayo Mayor of DEVONPORT, four physicians , one banker of great a most respectable meeting , by a requisition compris ing, it appears, the signatures not o nl y " of 19 clergy men, but two admirals, two g enerals, three colonels, of many var othero various s ran k s , ank officers s MAJESTY'S sea navyce fivef r M o justices of least is the Bishop's statement. Well, at the nume opulence, and solicitors without number." This at nume rous meeting collected by such an invitation, after a resolution affirming that " the confession as practised at St. Peter's Church, Plymouth, and sanctioned by the Bishop, is characterized by the most revolting features of the Romish Confessional "—another was moved by the Rev. H. A. GREAVES, seconded by Captain AYLMER, R.A., " That the system of confes sion carried on at St. Peter's, Plymouth, is contrary to the doctrine, practice, and spirit of the Church of England." Barest, HENRY of Exeter takes spe cial umbrage. The Confessional might be as Popish as the first resolution depones, but that its Popery should be contrary to the doctrine, &c., of the Angli can Church, that is quite another thing ! In that case the Bishop and his Tractarian clergy must walk the plank of preferment, and the Evangelicals and the Moderates completely man the good ship. His Lord• ship, therefore, in a letter which we gave last Satur clay, summonses the mover of the resolution to try the question fairly in the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S Court. He will, himself, by letters of request trans- fer the cause at once from his own Diocesan Court to the important (?) one of the Archbishop. By a little management, the expenses need not be very heavy, and wealthy and respectable as the requisitionists are, they can have no difficulty in meeting them, Well done, my Lord ! Not tired of Ecclesiastical Courts yet. Poor Mr. SHORB you did certainly get into gaol by his somewhat quakerish resolution not to pay ycur Court fees; but there he is, at Berry Pomeroy, still at work—you have not put him down. Mr. GoRHAM too ; why, he even got a locus standi both in the Articles and Formularies of your Church and in your own diocese too! What, law again then? Another trip not only through the Arches' Court, but up to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, for to that it must come. However, as we said, we must give you and your pet Confessor your due, and we must own that if you demand it ; your censors can hardly evade the demand to try it on. You have stripped theta of the plea of expense ; they have fairly gained one battle at least against you ; it ought to be two oat of three. If they beat you in this game to which they are now challenged, why, then, of course, you'll give in ; but if you beat, you'll pledge your word, my Lord—won't you?—to give them very soon an opportunity for the third and deciding battle. Oae thing we only wish to whisper in your Lordship's ear : if Mr. GREAVES beats you, why your party will receive a most sore discourage ment ; but if you beat Mr. GREAVES, if you prove that the Church of England is a Church of the Con fessional, yen will assuredly turn hosts of moderate Churchmen Ind moderate Dissenters into implacable Anti-State Churchmen; and the Church of England, as it is, will oecome a matter of history. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of members of the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Society was last veek held at the town-hall, Derby, many gentlemen attended from considerable distances, and evinced a very creditable anxiety to carry out the objects of the association. This is as it should be. It is exceedingly desirable that legal practitioners should cordially co•opecate together —not for the purpose of perpetuating abuses, or of retarding those salutary re forms now deened essential by all unprejudiced and disinterested persons—but rather to aid and assist in placing the administration and practice of the law on the soundest foundation, alike beneficial to the pro fession, and to the community. We have always felt that the interests of Solicitor and client were one and indivisible—fiat it would be deeply injurious to society in general to deprive a body in whom unlimi ted confidence is almost necessarily reposed of the fair and legitimate remuneration by which the services of men of character and efficiency alone can be ob tained. Any attempt to degrade the profession must necessarily recoil on its authors. The very able speech of Mr. SHAW placed this question in its true light. The advantages to be derived from frequent communications between the society and its members were clearly and distinctly explained. There are few practi tioners who will not at some time or other become acquainted with cases forcibly illustrating some of the evils of the existing system, and Indicating the nature of a suitable remedy. The commu nication of sucn matters to the committee of an influential society, ensuring due consideration to the details, a comparison of the experience of dif ferent members, on similar points, and where ad vin able full publicity, must necessarily prove beneficial. Metropolitan and provincial members should direct their attention to those purposes, exerting them selves energetically to promote the honour, the cha racter, and the dignity of the profession, and to ex pose and punish the incompetent and unqualified pretenders who usurp positions to which they have no legitimate claim, and who, by their ignorance and misconduct, seriously injure the prospects of those who repose unmerited confidence in such unworthy quarters. " A-penny-wise-and-pound-foolish econo my" is peculiarly injudicious, on the part of those who have the misfortune to be involved in litigation of any description. The best advice is always the cheapest in the long run, and those who profess to work at less than the usual rates, will find means of extracting much larger sums from the pockets of their clients than would be required by the most re spectable solicitors, while the victim may too late find that fortune, character—all, iu fact, that renders life desirable—may be materially damaged by his unwise selection. objects of the Society, and urging on the different But while thus strongly appr ov ing of the general members of the profession, in all parts of the country, tho propriety of increasing its efficiency" by extended n umbers, funds, and efforts," WO can no t b u t l amen t a u tendencyon tu the part of som e o f t h e speakers to as mof hostility t owar d s the Bar—to sneer at and undervalue the acquirements of that dis tinguished body. Some gentlemen appeared desirous of fusing the two branches into on e — o r ra th er tide of annihilating the Bar, and giving an undivided influence to solicitors. " Every right and privilege" now belonging to the Bar should be extended to soli citors, while any invasion by the former should be immediately repelled. The line of demarcation should be strictly guarded on the one side, while on the other it might be neglected and unthougbt of. There is but little of fairness or reciprocity in these sugges tions, nor are they calculated to promote the welfare of society. _ The separation of the functions belonging to the different branches; of the legal profession, the strict adherence of each to their owe particular li nes , an d the efficient discharge of the duties for whi c h th e i r ity dissension where in general. Th ose p education and training peculiarly qualify them, is of the utmost importance, not only to the parties th em . selves, but htoenthdeeavcooumr t community sow there should be friendship and cordiality, who attempt to set barrister against attorney, or attorney against barrister, or to exalt their own branch at the expense of their neigh bours, are acting not only in an injudicious but i n a very reprehensible manner.

I influential, n can hope to maintain a monopoly injurious to their neighbours. But monopoly is one thing, and taking measures to secure persons fully qualified for the positions they are to fill, the duties they are to discharge, is another. We exclude from a particular line of practice, all peraons who have not gone through certain forms, and complied with divers regulations, merely in order to secure efficiency. If these forms be unnecessary--these regulations superfluous_ let them by all means be modified and rendered suit able to the exigency. But we should beware lest, in attempting to improve, we might possibly destroy that which is really useful. There is much relating to both professions that might be ameliorated. Let the leading men on either side approach the question in a fitting spirit, with an earnest desire to act fairly and impartially; and let the subordinate members evince kindness and consideration towards each other, ao as lo meet on every occasion on amicable terms, and exhibit mutual good feeling the one to wards the other.

ERRATUM.—In our third leader of yesterday, for " subject to the same inconsistency," read " subject to the same incumbency." The misprint ;mug he obvious from the context. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American, and 1,000 Surat were taken on speculation. The market was firm, but less animated. The sales com prised 7,000 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at bid. to 7.}d.; 100 Bahia, at Wa. to 7d.; 500 Egyptian, at 61d. to 10d. ; and 1,500 Surat, at 4d. to 51d. Railway Shares were steady. At the indigo auctions yesterday 3,646 chests passed, of which 2,978 were withdrawn, 300 bought in, and 368 sold atiprevious rates. The sales conclude - :this afternoon. _ The colonial wool sales are still going off briskly, at steady quotations. The proceedings of the Frankfort Senate abolishing the law of 1849, which gave political equality to the Hebrews in that free town, are a further exemplifica tion of the tyrannical and reactionary policy of the German potentates. In Frankfort, so absurdly styled a "freistadt," there are now three garrisons, viz., the Austrian, the Prussian, and Bavarian. The Senate of Frankfort, it is but fair to conclude, would be too happy to maintain the Jews in all their former privileges, well aware that the town owes a large share of its prosperity to their residence. The wealth, enterprize, and or derly character of the Jews, render them pecu- liarly fit for all the public duties and offices that they have hitherto been called upon to per form ; but the " in its jealousy or its de termination to crush everything that savours of liber ality, has decided that things shall revert to their position, as existing in the year 1815, and the luckless Senate has but to comply. We can scarcely say what may be the issue, but a Hamburgh journal an nounces that 57 of the greatest Israelite families, including M. Anslem Rothschild and the Consul of Modena, M. B. 11. Goldschmidt, have resolved to leave the place and establish themselves elsewhere. This may or may not be true, but it is precisely the retaliation that should fall upon all narrow-minded States. The linen manufacturers of Belgium are petition ing their Government upon the subject of the com mercial rupture with France. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 18th inst., was not so active as for Dutch Securities. The Deferred Spanish Bonds were rather lower, owing to realizations of profits. Russian, Austrian, Portuguese, and Mexican were at about previous rates. At Vienna, on Monday, according to the tele graphic report, per Mr. Julius Renter, the Five per Cent. Metallics were 95f, with the exchange at 11 30. The exportation of silver is going on rather freely, to the Continent, and the Ripon takes out 271,0781. in gold and silver to Calcutta, and other places in the East. The committee of Spanish-American Bondholders received, this afternoon, from the chairman of the Buenos Ayres sub-committee, the following letter, addressed to him at Ladykirk, near Berwick-upon- Tweed, by Captain the Hon. Robert Gore, R.N., her Majesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres, dated— " British Legation, Buenos Ayres, Aug, 23,1852. " Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of your obliging letter of the 4th July, and its inclosures, and shall feel much obliged to be per mitted to offer through you, the expression of the high gratification with which I have received the copy of the resolution which you were good enough to send me in scknoowledgment, on the part of the body of the Bue nos Ayrean bondholders, of my humble efforts to en deavour to obtain for them their just and long pending claims, and which I will not fail to exert so long as I have the power to do so, until a final settlement is arrived at.—l am, dear Sir, &c., "(Signed) ROBERT GORE." The English stock-market has been scarcely up to yesterday's highest point, and there is less speculative business doing. As long, however, as it is known that the Commissioners for the Reduction of the Na tional Debt have, periodically, investments to make, there cannot be any marked reaction. Consols have been 1001 to f for transfer, and 1001 for account. The New 31 per Cents. have been 1031, and sinoe 1001 f. Bank Stock declines still, being 2 per cent. worse again. Where sales are pressed in a security of this kind, here must inevitably be a decided turn against the sellers, as only a few jobbers can deal in stocks bearing such a high value. Exchequer Bills have been 765. to 78a., and East India Bonds 85s. to 88s. premium. Consols now are 1001 There is great agitation still in the market for Turkish scrip, and the rumours as to the cause are as contradictory as ever. If the loan has been infor mally made, the Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte at Paris would be inculpated, having signed the bonds ; but in truth, we,believe the opposition made by the two Ministries that are said to have resigned is chiefly political, and possibly owing to Russian and Austrian influence. Spanish Deferred Stock is at 25i to and the Coupons have been done at 3i Peruvian look up. The Deferred are 62k to 63. Mexican are nominally firm. Buenos Ayres are quieter. Caledonian, Aberdeen, North British, Midland, and one or two other railway lines that had most advanced previously, are weaker, but the rest keep up very well. French Shares are firm. Mines are buoyant. SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GAR DENS, REGENT'S PARK-THIS DAY. Before the admission of visitors this morning to the Regent's-park Gardens, John Gosling, one of the keepers who had charge of the reptiles, lost his life through an act of folly on his own part. It appears that, about eight o'clock, when he ought to have been engaged in the usual routine of his duty, he, in a fit of bravado, took out one of the most venomous serpents, the cobra di capello, from its cage ; and, probably to daunt or amuse a fellow-servant, ho suffered the reptile to crawl about his person. In a few seconds, however, the serpent bit him in the face, and inflicted a sharp though small wound on the bridge of the nose, which bled profusely. Although . perfectly aware of th e d anger in which he had placed himself, having been upwards of a year and a-half engaged in this department of the gardens, his presence of mind did not immediately desert him, and he replaced the serpent in it s cage , w h ere h e secured it. Ho then directed his fellow-s e rv an t t o go for the head keeper a nd superintendent of the gar d ens , who, being informed of the accident, hurri e d sway t o t h e un f ortuna te man's ass istance. They had him removed as quickly as possible to the University Hospital, in Gower-street, where, of course, every a tt ent i on was pa id hi m , but in spite of the efforts of the medi ca l officers of that establishment, he expired within an hour afterwards. The unfortunate man did not seem to suffer much pain, and the poison which his system had so rapidly i m bib e d act i ng as a narcotic, he i died as it were while in a s t a t e o f coma . The reptile s a fine specimen of its sp ec i es , b e i ng b e t we en four and five feet in length, and ha s b ee n in possession of the Society nearly twelve months. It is satisfactory to know that the dreadful event could only have occurred through the foolhardiness of the unfor tunate victim himself', as the mechanism of the cages in which the serpents are kept provides every secur ity against injury to their attendants. Notice has already been forwarded to the Coroner of this fatal affair, and no doubt an inquest will be held upon the body to morrow. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.)
