We Cli°L-Eitill are Profotandly s distressed in an nouncing the'. ravages of th ® inoearf u l descriptio n have been made in the city of wt fors awby the d rea df u l scourge n of the Asiatic cholera. 3 mortality, we under stzed, hes been altogether almost precedent.

We await most anxiously the ar rival of further oarticulers in reference to the p ro _ gress of the modern plague, desirous, as we cannot fail to be, to learn that these particulars may have been in come degree exeg,gerated. Such, however, we fear, cannot possibly he the result of any addi tional investigation. The circum-stances above re ferred to—circumstances which we are here the first to make public by means of the present announcement — must be regarded as altogether beyond the reach of contradiction. From what we have here mentioned it must be "Went that measures should be immediately adopted by all the municipalauthorities ' the city of south and west of ageaint the Warsaw, to prepare themselves betimes the _ ore possible extension of the mortality among Expe Z ute populous countries of Christendom. already of a rather dreadful kind has .revealed the precautionary urgent necessity of the i n k e b it , arrangements so as to enable localities of theuts of the d l ease lxietr e y crowded influence of a 'lla.la to withstand tl f melee ie earful effects.

Qc , i i ,! l draining of the capital is as ever partial and i ngd ue quote. The water s upply is il:i impure as heretofore.- The ventilation of the rookeries still remaining, is perhap s more • abominably neglected than hithert o . Nothing, absolutely nothing, a ppears to have b een done sincethe last ravages of the cholera in the metropolis to guard the • inhabitants of the city and its environs from the evil results rsults of this long - d e p recated and pertinaciously continued negligence. Upon the Sanitary Commissioners the responsibility of this negligence devolves, an d We emo tions of di sm ay with which they cannot fail to ob- serve the spzead of the disastrous malady from place to place in the " round" of its melancholy devas tations. Gwydyr House might as well never have been built, so far as any benefit can be said to have resulted from the labours of it s offi cial frequenters. Parliamentary Committees might as well never have been convened—blue books might as well never have been compiled, and printed, and published in reference to the results of the pro tracted sanitary agitation—witnesses might as well never have been examined and cross-examined for the purpose of eliciting data for the guidance of our administrators in the same direction—so far es any advantage can be said to have resulted from all these Committees, and blue books, and witnesses in the way of carrying out the smaller even of the many eagerly-desired sanit a ry i m p rov ements. Re verting to the most important and the most imperative necessity of all under the head of these desired Sanitary Innovations--alluding almost for the nine hundred and ninety-ninth time to the want of some radical change in our national system of sepulture — it is painful to discover on all hands reason only to regret the continued disappointment of our hopes as to extramural interment. Instead of finding the metropolis better prepared against the return of the Asiatic cholera in this particular, we only discover an enhancement of an evil which on the last occasion was unquestionably of sufficient magnitude and virulence. In defiance of the nominal p rohi bition of an Act of Parliament d irected a g ainst t hose who flourish by burying thednefaedssioanmaol amongst tthepopulous desecrators of the habitations of the living —the London graveyards are still profaned pr t o h f e b ane a d ek b e y r s those a nd hewers of the b ran - new coffins professional and but partially decomposed remains of the departed —the sextons of our city Golgothas, There the "glimpses of the unholymoon" are still visited by creatures more terrible than ghosts and more ghastly than " the sheeted dead," who on the death of C.MSAR, "did an d squeak g ibber in the Roman streets"—the gravediggers of the capital of England—making room in the rank earth of the burial-grounds " within the walls" for more of our "dear brothers and sisters" who have expired. The same loathsome incide nts may be witnessed even now-o'-nights at any hour from sunset to sunrise—the same desecrations and abominations which first aroused the indignation of GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the most ardent and the most practical of living phi lanthropists. And all this while the Asiatic cholera • stalki ng across the European con tinent, from city to city, not with slow and measured steps, but uncertain and giant strides--without one adequate precautionary measure having been adopted against the period of its possible revisitation. Without one, we say—but we are wrong—the Legislature during the course of the last session did actually pass one beneficent measure of a sanitary nature, incited by the energetic goodwill of the newly constituted DERBY Government. Remembering that, we are disposed to look to the Cabinet for some yet more direct and yet more satis factory interposition. The intelligence which we have just received from the city of Warsaw reminds us very sadly of the need for some such Ministerial interference, and we look forward therefore with pro found anxiety for the display in this instance of more than their usual activity and of more than their accustomed patriotism, by the active and patriotic members of the existing Government. It is reported that the expected Ministerial " ad justment of taxation" (to use Mr. DISRAELI'S phrase) will extend to the abolition of the duties on Insu rance. There are many reasons why these duties should be removed—the chief being that they actually form a tax upon Prudence, while their aggregate amount is not so very great but that it can be spared. The misery and misfortune which are prevented by Fire and Life insurance are very considerable, so much so that it ought to be the part of a paternal Government to encourage rather than oppose the progress of such prudential provisions. Any tax upon them is an impost levied exactly where it should not be imposed. Despite of the impost, the fire-i nsurances through out the United Kingdom have gradually and largely increased during the last half century. In the year 1801, the total amount of property insured against fire in the United Kingdom was 232,242,2251. It had increased to 366,704,8001. in the next year ; to 408,037,3321. in 1821 ; to 526,655,3321. in 1831 ; to 681 ; 539,8391. in 1841 ; and in 1851 (the date of the last return) the mere tax on the amount insured had reached 1,104,8521. This shows an immense per centage of increase, but it is nothing to what we ihould have were the duties removed, which are as much as 200 per cent, upon the actual premiums paid to the insurance offices. A pat erna l Government doing its duty would by all mean s en . courage fire-insurance. " If it be desirable," Says Mr. PORTER in his Progress of the Nation, " and who can doubt that it is so, that all per sons should secure themselves from losses arising through acci dents beyond their control, it must then be held un wise to subject insurances to taxation; and when, as in this country, the tax thus levied amounts to 200 per cent. upon the sum required by the insurance offices to cover the ordinary risk from accidents by fire, the degree of discouragement occasioned by th e duty must needs be very great. It is not only by reason of the security arising to individ ua l s, amounting often to the prevention of beggary, that insurances against fire and upon lives are beneficial ; they exer cise a good effect upon the country generally throngh the accumulation of savings which they cause. The sums paid for premiums on life policies especially are, in every case, put by and added to the accumulat ing capital of the community. The money, as it is paid to the insurance-offices, is beneficially employed, and made to stimulate, in one Way or another, the industry of the nation ; and when called for by the arrival of the contingency against which the premiums were meant to provide, it is pretty certain that in a large proportion of cases the money is so much clear gain, because without such a re source the premiums out of which it is provided would have been unprofitably consumed." Thus, in effect, the public at large are benefited by the pru dence of individual insurers, but the Government, re taining the heavy tax upon that prudence, do in fact discourage it. In a school, if a lad distinguishes himself by good conduct, application, and ability, should he be punished ? We think not, but if Go , ver ument were th e sc h o olmaster (acting tow ar d s the g oo d toy as it d oes towar d s t h e pru d ent i nsurer), a sever e infliction would be the only acknowledgment of the desert! ataIIeGbREGOR, tra in d . _ Mr. j oun , for Glasgo w , the able representative aeny and o n clh revenue doubt as a as anywell the kingdom-- a tl:e rather than a coun try gentleman f rom w shire of Oxford, oug ht to preside - o ver the Board o f T ra d e —has expressed his op i nion vincingly on this head. ici cleha.rly and con great work on The Progress of America, he str cates the total abolition of th e d uty en on .g l y advo insurances. duty u p on fire .

To carry out to the fullest the inconsistency, folly, and injustice of tho imposts upon prudence, the Go- ' vaernment have ordained a curious inequality in the a m m o a u a nt eff o e f at th a e tliafxe.aiansdartlalneame,ode and flev3ing i! . .

Y e t w i seacres are to be found—" practical" men of the red-tape cad routine system of misrule—who continue to contend that our system of taxation is as fair as any that can be devised. We should like to see their looks, if, after buying a loaf for sixpence, they have to pay another shilling for duty. Absurd as this idea may seem, it is precisely on the Government principle of levying 200 per cent. upon fire-insurance premiums. One argument (or assertion) in favour of this tax is that it is direct. No doubt. It is direct—pocket emptying. On that score, let no man dream of de fending it. Another is that it cannot be spared, as its amount is considerable." There are no means of ascertaining the amount of the stamp-duty annually arising out of the life-policies, for it is not particu larized in the stamp returns. It amounts, certainly, to a considerable sum. As for the tax on fire-in surances, we are at no loss, as there are annual re turns. 'We learn, from these, that in 1850, the whole amount of duties psid on fire-insurances in the United Kingdom was nearly a million and a quarter. Take the whole amount realised from all sorts of insurances, as averaging a million and a half sterling, and then ask, in the name of common sense, is it worth while to exact this sum from the prudence of the country? The amount is large, but could it be swept away, so that a man might insure his house and property for one-third what he now must pay, then, without doubt, we should have double, or treble, aye, or ten times the number of insurers, and ten times the amount of misery shielded against by their prudence. On every consideration, then, the total reduction of the taxes upon prudence should take place. Their abolition, with that of the taxes upon knowledge, would be hailed by the public as proof that the Ministry really had a desire to serve the country. Before long, whoever may hold the reins of power, such imposts must be removed. They are contrary to the spirit of the age, and the feelings, wishes, and wants of the country. We have contended—feebly it may be, but hopefully and faithfully—for Direct Taxation : not such as is wrung from Pru dence and Knowledge, by imposts upon in surances and paper, but upon the wealth and the property of the land. Mr. DISRAELI, before he entered office, appeared to have correct general ideas upon this subject. Let him make the land-tax as productive as it ought to be, without a shadow of unfairness. If it becarried out, on the principle re cognised by the Act of Wrr.T.Ltet and MARY —an equal impost of 20 per cent. upon all accumulated and realized property of every description, and of 1 per cent. upon that which is unproductive--an amount of fifty millions sterling might be annually raised, amply sufficient, with wise economy, to de fray the; whole cost of government, to pay the interest on the Debt, and to permit the abolition o" unequal or oppressive taxes of every kind.

According to very recent and authentic intelli gence received from Lisbon, we are enabled to an nounce the resignation of ALMEYDA, the Foreign Minister in the Portuguese Government. The retire ment of this able administrator from the councils of Queen MARIA DA GLORIA, cannot but be matter of re gret amongst ourselves, seeing that his mind was pecu liarly impressed with the value of a cordial English alliance, to the maintenance of authority, and the preservation of liberty in the Peninsula. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Illoniteur contains the decree which has been for some days expected, relative to the concession of the Bordeaux to Cette Railway. "Several journals," says the Patric, "have spoken of the rupture of the negotiations opened between Prance and Spain for the delimitation of the frontiers of the two countries. We believe this news to be in exact, and that the labours of the mixed Commission, instituted by the contracting parties, are only mo mentarily suspended." There is a long article in the Pays, under the bead of "On the Chances of Peace or War," by M. AME.• DEE DE CESENA, long known as one of the warmest partisans of the Empire. The eventuality of the Empire is admitted on the ground-work of the reasoning, and we are assured that it contains in itself no germs of war. The writer is fully justified is his protest against blending the words War and Empire, as if they were necessarily connected, and much of his reasoning against the chances of war is sound. The best guarantee against war, however, is not this pacific disposition ascribed to nations or rulers, but the conviction that in the present state of things, it is their interest to remain at peace. NVar is not what it was when victories could be obtained at com paratively small cost. In improving the means of de struction, we have ascertained that even the most sac cessful war cannot he waged without the certainty of paying much dearer for victory than it is worth. The writer says : All is now changed--times, circumstances, cad men. Yes, all is now changed; and if Europe has never had an y aggression to fear from France, France on her cid() has no longer any attack to apprehend from Europe. Between 1792 and 1832 there is an abyss. There is now a new state of things and a new spirit; there are other interests and other ideas; even be hits are modified in the movement of civilization which leads nations to wards a future of industry, arts, and sciences. France and England themselves, those two secular enemies who so long disturbed the world with their di v i s i ons , no longer thick of contending except in the peaceful fields of commerce; the people only dispute in the markets. There is not one who now places his pride and his ambition in ravaging countries, in burning towns, in conquering territories and extending frontiers. There are some who dream of the domination of the seas because they are the roads of commerce. But this is only a mercantile question. Th e nat i ona l f ee li ng still exists in tho hearts cf the people; but the warlike spirit becom©s every day more and more extinguished in the north as well as in the south of Europe. It is the manufacturing spirit which now everywhere prevails. People like governments only dreamt of conquests and of victories. Now all nations only think of rendering their soils fruitful, and of developing their manufactures. There is not one thet is not alarmed at the idea of war, and who does not see in a conflAgration in Europe the greatest calamity that, in the pr esen t sta t e o f c i v il ization, could afflict humanity. On the part of governments as on the part of the people, there is no leaning to wards war, no desire for conquest. The taste and ne cessity for peace is everywhere felt. Europe would be senseless to stake the peace of nations in order that the Government of France should be a Monarchy rather than a Republic or an Empire, and that the chief of the Government should be called a Bourbon rather than a Bonaparte. All the chances of the future are therefore fur peace and not for for war. If in times of barbarism war was an instru ment of progress, now it is peace alone which can give humanity the time to reap whit civilization has sown. What would be now gained 'by precipitating masses against each other? We can no longer understand those rencontres of whole nations. In the present state of feeling there is no longer place in Europe for a con queror; France herself could no longer produce a new CreAar, now rho can only give to the world a new Augustus." ti .A.: few days . ago two venerable Canadian prelates, E CE, Bishop of St. Hyacinthe and M.

The Government are to pay fur the railway 6 0,200,000 reels, half in common road shares, and half in railroad shares ; the whole to be issued by the Government, and delivered by the 31st of December, and bearing 6 per cent. interest, and 1 per cent. shaking•fund. Twenty millions of common road shares are to be issued at once. Senor SALA MANCA is next declared to have become the lessee of the line for five years, at a rent of 1,500,000 reels per annum ; he is to pay all expenses of the same, to keep it in full action, in due repair, &c., and to deliver it up at the expiration of the term in the same state as at present. The fourth article declares as guarantees of the interest, 40 . - -lst, the gener a l respons ibili ty o f th e State ; 2d, the railroad itself for the capital of the stock issued ; and 3d, the products of the railroad for the interest of the stock • an account to be given to the Co r t es, and the Minister of Public Works (FoMENTo) is charged with, the execution of the decree, which is dated San Ildefonso, 13th August, and countersigned MARIANO MIGUEL REYNOSO. The Three per Cents. were done at 45-; ; the New Three per Cents. at 22 15-16; the Debt of the first Class at 11 15.16 ; and that of the second at si. GERAN Y. The Second Chamber of M tbe States of Electoral Hesse adopted on the 21st the proposition of the Go vernment, tending to obtain the authorisation to con clude a loan of one-and•a-half millions of thalers, to cover the excess of expenses of the years 1849,1850, and 1 851. The Opposition had combatted the pro position, contending that the vote of the Constitution ought to precede the vote of authorisation solicited by the Government. A religious service was celebrated at Ischl on the 18th, in commemoration of the birthday of the Em peror of AUSTRIA. It was attended by the personages of distinction now stopping there, by the public functionaries, and by a great number of the inhabi tants. At Trieste the national hymn was twice sung on the demand of the public, and the town was illu minated. A letter from Rendsburg of the 16th, in the Augs burg Gazette, confirms the rumour that the fortifica tions of that place are to be demolished. It will be remembered that the fortress in question was thoroughly repaired, and its number of guns increased in 1848, when the Schleswig-Holsteiners refused allegiance to Denmark. After the battle of Idsledt General WILLISEN had caused the whole for tress to be surrounded with strong entrenchments, with a view to thrn it into a fortified camp. He also erected two mud forts with blockhouses, viz., Fort Schleswi g t o th e nort h , an d F ort Rudelsdorf, between the canal of the river and the road to Eckernfoerde, These being solely built to oppose the strategical operations of the Danes, were razed immediately after the conclusion of the war; as for the other works erected by General WILLISEN, orders have already been given for their removal. It i., however, still uncertain whether the stoneworks existing before 1848 will be taken down or not. The large arsenal in whioh the Schleswig-Holsteiners had accumulated arms for upwards of 40,000 men, is now empty, all its contents having been shipped to Copenhagen. BELGIUM. The Emancipation of Brussels states that the Bel gian Alinistry does not intend to convoke the Cham bers before the month of October, as the ratification of the treaty with France is not obligatory before November. The samejournal gives an account of another mani festation made against Marshal HAYNAU on the even ing of Monday. From ten o'clock to midnight nume rous groups collected on the Place Royale, where groans and bootings took place, and isolated cries of " Tigre !' " Hjene ;" and " Bourreau de femmes!" &c., were heard. The police interfered and dis persed the assunblage, but no fresh arrests were made. It is stated that Marshal HATNeu, from ad vice that Ins been given him, intends to leave Brussels immediately. ITALY. We have received accounts (says the Constitution net) from Palermo of the 17th. The Prince DE SATRIANo had returned there, and had returned the Government of Sicily, having withdrawn the resigna tion he had tendered. Some days before his depar ture for the baths of Ischia, he was the object of a special mark of consideration on the part of the King of the Two SICILIES. The KING, accompanied by the royal family, went in his steamboat to Ischia, and bad a conference with the Prince, when an explana tion, courteous on one side, and frank and devoted on the other, removed all the differences between the KING and his Lieutenant in Sicily, to the great regret of some courtiers and revolutionists. In the sitting of the 17th of the Royal Court o f Florence, when the case o f G UERAZZI and others for high treason was adjourned to the 26th, Advocate ANDREOZZI, one of the counsel for the defence', rose, and observed that the offi cial an nouncement of the trial, posted up at the doors of the court, was written in such a way as to lead inattentive readers into a gross mistake as to the nature of the case under trial. The title of the case wa s set forth as follows - -High Treason an d Th e ft in large ca pitals, and th e words in so far as relates to Marchetti alone in very small writing, so that a super ficial observer might think that the word theft ap plied to all the defendants, whereas it was but right the public should know " that the defendants' bench comprised one of the m os t ill ustrious writers of Italy, and other gentlemen, w h o, although unfortunate, were all respectable. " He, therefore, applied to the court to have the na me of MAR CELETTI placed alone at the bot tom of the list, with the accusation of theft, peculiar to hi m , on the same line. The President replied, that this a pplication ou g ht not to have b een made in op en c ourt, but to him alone; but that if it were brought regularly before the Chamber of Council, he would attend to it. MISS MARTINEAU IN •Th .LIELFAST.—This eminent authoress visited Belfast last week, and, on Thursday, pro ceeded to Dublin on her way to the west of Ireland.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed firmly at previous rates, except for Egyptian, which were offered freely, and wore in favour of buyers. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000 Egyptian, at 6d. to Bd., 110 Pernain and Maranham, at 6,1 d. to 7ici., 200 Bahia, at 6d. to 61-3., 500 Surat, at 3id. to 4id., and 100 Sea Islanu, at Is. sd. to Is. Bd. per lb.—ltailway Shares were rather firmer. The six weeks' average price of Wheat, is 40s. 4d. per quarter, and the last week's sales were 92,576 quarters. Of all branches of our foreign trade, that connected with the vintage is placed, perhaps, at the present mo ment in the most interesting position. We apprehend from the news that reaches the merchants and brokers here from various parts 'that there will be a serious deficiency in the quantity obtained, the vineyards, like the currant trees, being affected by a peculiar and uncommon blight. From the correspondence received by Messrs. Walter, Howell, and Hate, it appears that high prices are likely to be demanded for Brandy by the Cognac houses for the next twelvemonths, the export of young Brandies to Australia having been unusually large. It is further stated that— " The vintage on the Charente and neighbourhood will commence in about six weeks, and we know there will be but a short produce, certainly not an average one. With the increasing demand, therefore, from France, England, United States, and our colonies, we must ex pect a continuation of higher prices fur Cognac than we have latterly had for years; indeed, when we consider the c omparatively small district of the Champagne and Woodlands from whence the finer Brandy is ob taired, we, fear tho leading Cognac houses will find it difficult to maintain upon all their shipments the cha racter . of their brand. We anticipate the price of 1852's will come out at 105 francs per hectolitre, if not higher, and older Brandies in proportion.' With regard to Port wines and the policy of the Government at Lisbon, we aro told that it is generally understood th at Ministers intend to oarry into effect by decree, the reduction of duties and other reforms of the Sebe earls, that had already passed the deputies, but the grand question of all is that of the . Oporto wine export duti es . Th e public mind there is in a state of great excitement, lest Ministers should avail themselves of their power and yield to the demands of Great Britain. However, the warehousing question is settled by decree. After the preamble the decree says, "It is my will and pleasure atter hearing the Company General of the Agriculture of Wines of the Upper Douro and the Com mercial Association and Civil Governor of the district of Oporto, to declare as follows: " Ist. The indistinct warehousing of wines, as well of the first as the second quality, is from this moment per mitted as well in Villa Nova de Gaia as in the city of Oporto, and the decree of the 7th June , 1844, is abo liahed. " 2d. The distinction will continue to exist, and the account of the first and second quality kept separate be fore the Custom House in the same form as existed pre vious to that decree. " Tho Ministers and Secretaries of State of the Inte rior and Finance will thus understand, and cause the same to be carried into effect." (Signed by the Queen and the respective Ministry.) The stock on the Ist of August last consisted of 20.810 pipes. If the application of capital were to be directed ex clusively to the funds and railway shares, there must in the ordinary course be a most important and steady rise , with occasional alteration, however, Q 3 political or mo netary events exercised a !mooing influence. It is calculated, however, that new loans and companies take up annually an immense portion of the surplus wealth which accumulates annually upon the balance of our foreign trade, and if this does nut in every case prove re-productive, it certainly in the main tends to augment the national riches. Foreign loans frequently involve, besides arrears of interest, a great loss of cc_ pital, but if we look to the proportionably higher dividends obtained, and take our calculations over the whole range of the loans made, probably two hundred millions sterling, we shall find moot likely that wo are gainers upon balance. It is upon industrial undertakings, however, that our chief profit has accrued, and severe as is the loss entailed upon the original subscribers to railways by the enorincns fluctuation in shares, the capital has remained in this country, and we are na tionally no losers. Not a sixpence has left us in conse quence of the fall in shares. During the present year there has been an immense addition to the number of public companies, and some, the gold mines forex e ; ample, are in a comp l ete state of abeyance . ,Whr proved, but are yet t o y i e l d a handsome return i s to e but in the meantime it is easy to understand why money is not a d rug in the market and finds better emp l o yment than might be expected. an d at the pre.
