Tromp, Vampire (Halo not starting), Galata filly, and either Slander or Glentilt, four out of the five goodly animals, as their late racing has proved ; consequently, thin will be the most interesting two-year-old race at Goodwood this year. It is not the easiest task imagin able to pick out the winner, but I presume that either Lord G. Bentinck or the Earl of Eg,linton will pocket the stakes, their nominations being decidedly the best. The 50 SOTS. Stakes for three,year-olds to Blackbird. The Sussex Stakes to the Goodwood lot. The Anglesea, Stakes to Muscatel or St. George. The Duke of Richmond's Plate, to name the day be fore running. On Friday, the Nassau Stakes to the Princess Alice. The Chesterfield Stakes to Ides, Tour de Force, or Auricula. The Maidstone, Bentinck, and March Stakes, close this truly plethoric meeting. I am, Sir, &e., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Saturday. LATEST BETTING AT TATTERSALL' S. GOODWOOD STAMM. 11 to 2 agst Lord G.

THE SUGAR DUTIES. - - - It is expected, we believe, that the division upon the Sugar Duties will take place to-morrow night, and the ma jority in favour of the measure will, it is anticipated, be even larger than that upon the second reading of the Corn Bill. Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham will support the Mi- Material measure. The opinion gains ground too that it is not likely to encounter any serious opposition in the House of Lords. The more this question is looked at, the more the facts which bear upon it and the interests of the community are considered, the more must our amazement be excited that so monstrous an abuse should so long have been suffered to exist, that so great an economical error should have remained so long unredressed. The facts connected with the Sugar Duties, and their effect upon the consumer, constitute no finely balanced question, on which, when once they are known, any dispute can be maintained ; they are so palpable as at once to bring home conviction to the mind of the absurdity of the system we have hitherto pursued. And this is the more striking when we consider that in other articles intimately connected, both in their sources of production and in their actual uses, with sugar, a policy the reverse of that now under consideration has been pursued for the last quarter of a century, and with such success that statesman after statesman has referred to it as conclusive evidence of the wisdom of relaxing commercial restrictions, and of the fact that exorbitant duties are alike inconsistent with the true interests of the consumer and the fiscal policy of the State. Our surprise at the pertinacity with which statesmen have adhered to this absurd system is greatly increased when we consider the character of the article which has been so long the object of this most unwire policy. With the exceptions only of bread and salt, there is proba bly no other article capable of such an extended and benficial consumption as sugar, or by the aid of which the useful pro perties of so many other articles of every-day consumption are developed. It is wor:li while to look back for twenty or thirty years, and to see the anxiety displayed by commercial re formers to bring the articles of coffee, and tea, and fruits more within the reach of the poorer classes of our consumers, while, until last year, little or nothing has been attempted to secure a corresponding increase of sugar. Since 1821 the reductions which have taken place iu the duties on coffee may be thus stated : Duty on Duty on Duty on Colonial East India Foreign Coffee Coffee. Coffee. per lb. per lb. per lb. s. d. s. d. s. d. 1821 182 5 1835 1842 1844 - 6 Under these reductions the consumption of coffee has in creased so rapidly as to yield a revenue at the present time much more than double the amount that it did in 1821. The progress of consumption may be thus stated : In 1821 1831 1841 1845 Again, the opening cl our trade to China, by the abolition of the monopoly of the East India Company, has had great effect upon the price, and consequently upon the consump tion of tea. The consumption of tea was in 1821 • 1831 , 1841 1845 From 1821 to 1845 the consumption of coffee, under the reductions of duty to which we have referred, increased nearly fivefold; and during the same period the consump tion of tea increased twofold. But while these extraordinary changes have been taking place, what has been the progress of all those supplies of sugar from which the consumption of the country could be drawn? The entire importations at the periods quoted have been as follow :—ln 1821 ... 1831 1841 1844 But of the quantity imported in 1844 no 1. ss than 777,000 cwts. were o f that class of sugar practically prohibited from coPitlinp-tion by a duty of 635. per cwt., while in 1821 of that class the supply included only 197,000 cwts. So that in reality the actual avdable supply of sugar in 1844 was only 4,110,000 cwts., while in 1821 it was 4,176,000 cwts. Seeing how uniformly the supp . r.; and consumption of coffee in creased with every reduction of duty, we shall be less sur prised at the stationary character of the supplies of sugar when we consider the scale of .duties to which (luting. the same period that article has been suljected. They were as follows: SUGAR DUTIES. Colonial. Foreign. 1821 275. per cwt. 63s. 1831 245. 63s. 1841 245. and 5 per cent. 635. and 5 per cent. 1844 .245. 63s. Nothing can, therefore, be more conclusive than the evi dence of these facts as to the influence of duties upon the amount of consumption; showing, on the one hand, the rapid increase which immediately follows a reduction of duty and a removal of restrictions ; . and, on_ the other, the sta tionary character of our supplies as long as restrictions and high duties are maintained. But, with the rapid in crease which has taken place in the population of the coun try, what appears in figures as a stationary supply is, in effect, an actual diminution. In 1801 the consumption of sugar in this country was 3011bs. to each individual; in 1821 it was 19ilbs. to each individual ; and in 1844 the average consumption of the whole population was only 161bs. and a small fraction to each individual. While of coffee, in i 801 the consumption per head, in Great Britain, was little above loz. ; in 1821 it was Soz.; in 1844, it was more than to each person. So that while the established allowance of sugar for each person in the navy is more than 341b5., and while our workhouse regulations provide more than 221bs. to each pauper in the year, the average consumption of each person in the whole country, at the latest date to which our figures extend, very little exceeds 161bs. Surely these are facts which must silence all the objections which can be put forward against increasing the supply of this necessary ar ticle of human food. What avails it that our coffee duties have been reduced, if the supply of sugar remains stationary ? What avails it that we increase our trade with the Chinese, and bring to the consumer double the present quantity of tea, if no more sugar is to be admitted? How can the poor get the benefit of those relaxations of the tariff which have opened to their use the fresh fruits from the gardens of Flanders and Holland, if- we are still to be stinted to exactly the same quantity of sugar, the s hare of each person decreasing annually as the population grow s? We are told that the supply of fruit during the last week has been so great its the metropolis, that the Batavier from Rotterdam, the Autwerpen from Antwerp, and the steam-packet from Ilavre, have landed on our quays Buchan abundance of fruit, that currants, which recently sold for Mi. the quart, have been sold during the past week at 10d. the gallon. But what of all this, lk if the poor man, t arhe e decent m echanic, and the great bu of the population , deprived of a cheap an d abundant supply of that commodity which can alone enable them to turn these advantages to account? What could more conduce to the health and com fort of a large community?—what greater domestic luxury to the poor, than such a supply of sugar as would enable them to preserve for future use such an abundant and cheap supply of fruit? A good Sugar Bill is a necessary comple ment to all the reductions and reforms which we have made In our tariff. Weigh against the great public interests in volved in the measure all the arguments which are put for ward by the monopolists against it—in all of them we re cognise only one idea and one fact, which has been the con spicuous mark of our sugarlegui a ti on front time immemorial --the interests of the many sacrificed to those of , flail „ f ew, Chronicle. DEATH OF COLONEL MACIRoNE.- 7 his distinguished but unfortunate officer expired suddenly on Saturday morn ing last. He was born at Manchester in 177, and was sent by Iris father to Italy , in 1801, f o r commercial objects, and was detained at Naples On the breaking out of the war. H av i n g attracted the attention o f Murat, then King of Naples, from a certain likeness he bore to Buonaparte, as well as by his succets in experimental science and athletic exercises, he entered the Neapolitan service, and in a short time was ap pointed one of the Aides-de-camp of Murat, with the rank of Colonel: he was also decorated with the crosses of the Two Sic4ies, and of the Legion of Honour. His "Interesting Facts," published in London, concerning that ill-starred monarch, were so eagerly sought in Italy, where the book was prohibited, that manuscript copies of it sold at a very high price. In 1820 and 1821 Colonel Macirone sent several hundred men to the Spanish settlements in South America, and received the fruitless rank of Brigadier-General from the Republic of Colombia. He afterwards served the Liberal party in Spain, until the retreat of the Cortes to Cadiz. During the agita tion of the Reform Bill he printed his " Defensive Instruc tions for the People," of which many thousand copies were sold ; he subsequently published two volumes of autobio graphy, intending to follow them by two others, had not the death of his booksellei prevented his design. They attracted great attention and elicited much applause in the periodicals of the time. Of late years he dedicated himself to mecha mica( pursuits, principally to the establishment of steam loco /motives on common math, b u t fa i ling in this undertaking he became much embarrassed in his circumstances ' and never reco vered any par t of the mone y h e embarked. He was the contributor of many useful suggestions in the Mechanics' ag.:aim", and other scientific periodicals; and amongst those sziggestions may be mentioned the Archimedes screw, for the impulsion of steam-ships, many years before it was adopted by Government. He died suddenly, but calmly, without a murmur , w e are afraid in utter destitution, leaving a widow and two daug hters, of course quite penniless.

No reasonable doubt now exists that the great mea sure of the RussELL Administration will obtain the sanction of Parliament as decisively, if not more triumphantly, than did the great measure of the PEEL Administration. That the abolition of all differential duties upon sugar should follow the aboli tion of 'all restrictions against the importation of corn, is but natural. It is the rational sequence in commercial reform. It is the next segment in the circle. Bearing in mind, however, the long con tinuance of those systems which are now considered so obnoxious ; remembering that so many thousands have been pampered by an unnatural protection from competition, and that these thousands have imbibed, during a series of generations, a prejudice in favour of those protective imposts, it cannot be surprising that any step made towards the removal of their revered talisman should arouse their indignation, excite their fears, or elicit the most general and earnest opposition. Hitherto the Legislature has been fostering that very enthusiasm for protection which it now endeavours to allay, in the bosoms of our insular agriculturists and our colo nial planters. The latter are, in point of fact, nothing less than the spoilt children of a villanous mercantile code ; and, in accordance with what we may term the prescriptive rights of spoilt children, our agricul turists and planters become petulant and restive under the tardy correction of the Legislature—they are vociferous for the perpetuation of their old system of leniency. The time has, however, arrived when they must emerge from their leading strings and maintain their position them selves, unscared by the multitude of their competitors, winning their way, as all honest merchants and husbandmen should, by their own good industry, probity, and enterprise. They must never again look for that mistaken kindness which has hitherto been awarded them by the Government —a kindness alike prejudicial to their own prosperity and pernicious to the interests of their common country. Still, in abandoning the old pathway blocked up with so many obstructions, dug into so many pit falls, and deteriorated by so many intolerable sinuosi ties, and in entering the level and capacious highway of free trade, it is both just and generous to explain the reasons for such an alteration to every one who questions its policy or denies its necessity. As regards the Corn question such has been the beha viour pursued throughout. ADAM SMITH and other political economists broached the advisability of such a change. The pamphlets of Colonel THOMPSON, together with the rhymes of ELLIOTT, enforced the same notion. The annual motion of Mr. VILLIERS drew the attention of cur legislators to the matter, and compelled them to acknowledge that at least there was a necessity for some examination into the matter. The League, by its orations, its discussions, its tracts, and its newspapers, laid all the bearings of that gigantic question before the British population And not only was the rationality of the proposed re• form demonstrated to all refractory minds by logica arguments, but likewise by experiments, the success of which there was no means of denying—we mean the tariff experiments of Sir ROBERT PEEL. :Not until the matter had been thus thoroughly sifted by the national intellect ; not until the most ample and elaborate explanations had been 'reiterated to the pro tectionists, was the grand measure of abolishing the corn-laws brought to a termination. The same conduct has been pursued with reference to the Sugar question; but with a considerable abbre viation in the mode of explanation and remonstrance, from the fact, that in most of the arguments to be employed it is nothing better than travelling over the same ground. The relaxations in regard to sugar and corn are only different tracks to the realisation of universal freedom in commerce; and we admire the pithy observation of the Courrier Fran cais, that " the natural Consequences of the revision of the corn-laws ought to be the revision of the sugar duties." There is, so to speak, a consanguinity in the two measures. We have ourselves already reiterated, again and again, the whys and the wherefores of this proposed enactment in favour of placing foreign and colonial sugar upon an equal footing, or of avoiding. any mincing distinctions between the produce of free labour and slave-labour in this instance. But, as we had formerly experienced, in the free-trade measures passed during the previous Administration, the same arguments might be gone over and over again with out producing the slightest effect upon the minds of those to whom they were so peculiarly unwelcome— after statements had been demolished to the satisfac tion of the smallest understandings, they were still brought forward, time after time, as though they were the most indisputable of moral truths, and as though their accuracy has never been impeached even by a whisper. Precisely of the same character is the opposition pursued in behalf of the preservation of the differential duties upon sugar. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, anxious to explain his sentiments be yond all possibility of misapprehension, has issued a second letter to the Premier, in which lie persists in the same fallacious style of reasoning. Ile de mands a trial for the planters, and maintains that the capabilities of the colonies should be tested; as if that trial (and one, moreover, of a terribly expensive character) had not been given by this country during a long series of years ; and as if those capabilities had not been thoroughly tested and found insufficient to supply that necessary article of nourishment to the mother country ! But he even proceeds beyond this very comprehensive flight of imagination. He actu ally makes an ingenious display of calculations by which—this being done, and that being done, and the other being done—the 472 estates of Berbice alone would return "130,000 hogsheads of sugar for home consumption ! " Such are, undoubtedly, very ad mirable schemes and air-built temples, but they are altogether dispelled by a few blunt, dogged facts, Stich facts, for instance, as that out of these 472 sugar estates of Berbice, "all, except thirty-five, have been abandoned"—(we are quoting Mr. BERKELEY himself )—and that " these thirty -five estates in the last year made 8,800 hogsheads." Eight thousand eight hundred hogsheads—not one hundred and thirty thousands ! But, says Mr. BERKELEY, the opportunities must be given us by the Legislature. To this we cannot but opine that plenty of oppor tunities have presented themselves since the passing of the Emancipation Act. And, notwithstanding these opportunities, we find that in the five principal ports of England the sales from the East In dies have fallen to 776,510 quintals for the present year, from 958,125 quintals in a corre sponding portion of 1845—and a decrease from Java, Manilla. &c., of 14,272, in 1846, from 30,176, in 1845. Mr. STURGE, again, declares himself opposed to the projected measure solely on the plea of its tending to propagate the spirit of the slave-trade, and without alluding to its being prejudicial to the pecuniary in terests of our colonial possessions, while Mr. BERKELEY solely enters his protest against the measure upon the latter consideration, acknowledging that "the cry of immorality cannot be fairly raised to prevent the admission of slave sugar." This looks uncommonly like inconsistency in our colonial protec • tionists, and we doubt not that the present will con stitute another illustrious example, that a house divided against 'itself cannot by possibility stand. The naval estimates fur the year were brought forward on Friday night, by Mr. 11. G. WARD, the new Secretary of the Admiralty, in a speech which de servedly obtained the approbation of persons of all classes of politics. The knowledge of the subject he displayed, having been so short a time in office, was most creditable to him. Sir CHARLES NepiEß, who, it is well known, criticises in ONDON, the closet manner anti•thing connected with the service to which he has devotrd him- self, and of which he is so great an ornament, professed 1111in:elf est ,nished at the mass of iefortita thm brought forward, and stated that he had never heard a clearer elucidation of the state of the navy. The total amount of the votes taken was 7,667,4141., from which, deducting the reserved credit fur 190,4611., the gross sum required for that branch of the public service would be 7,476,9531., a large expenditure indeed, and one deserving of the closest scrutiny of the House ; but large as it is, we are convinced that there is no Englishman who would desire that the efficiency of the navy should be. im paired in any the slightest degree by any undue economy, or petty saving; we have too long suffered , under the effects ofthe penny-wise and pound-foolish system to desire that it should be tried on a service which has justly been looked upon as the bulwark and defence of England—the source of her power and greatness. Mr. WARD, most properly, refrained from holding out any false hope of a diminution of the expenditure. He stated "that he did not believe that any great reduction in these estimates was pos sible or probable 4 so long as the naval establishments of other nations continued on the footing on which they were at present placed. He thought it would be both unfit and unsafe, he believed it would be dishonourable for England again to run the risk she had twice done during the last five years, from an unwillingness to increase their naval establishment — that there were periods, when any sudden rupture .here, or on the other side of the Atlantic, would have found us unprepared." This is, indeed, a serious consideration : it is well known that the best way to avoid a war which, under the most favourable circumstances, must prove injurious to our commerce, and disastrous to the best interests of the nation, is to be found ever prepared for any alternative that may be forced upon us, to be enabled to protect the rights and interests of our country. Such a state of preparation, too, enables us to speak temperately and firmly, that while on the one hand we make no un worthy, unwise, or dishonourable concession, any step which we may take to avoid so frightful an event cannot be imputed to timidity or cowardice. The na tion, conscious of its strength and power, can afford to take steps for the preservation of peace, the policy or prudence of which might be doubtful in another, whose resources were less available. It was by these means that we avoided the horrors that would have been occasioned by hostilities with our trans-Atlantic brethren, with whom we may now look forward to a long interchange of friendly relations, mutually beneficial to both countries. There was one part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's. speech which we hailed with peculiar pleasure—that which held out a hope that the close attention k,f the Admiralty would be directed during the recess to a system which alone could afford a substitute for the atrocious one of naval impressment, a practice repugnant alike to every feeling of justice and equity, tr.d injurious to the parties robbed of their liberty, and subjected to the vile and brutalising lash. This painful necessity (if it can be called a necessity) has hitherto been occasioned by the want of a proper sys. em of organisatim by which a connexion between the royal and the mercantile navy might be formed and kept up, and the services of men who had once -erved their country, who had been practised and trained in naval tactics, whose professional education had been completed, and each of whom would be more valuable than four of the untried men, who could be procured even by impressment on any )ccasion of emergency, might be readily and imme liately obtained. The Act for the general register of seamen, although it is susceptible of end requires much improvement, has proved a great check upon desertion from the merchant service, but it is not in that respect alone that it would be valu able. It would be the source and origin from which (hey might, at a trifling expense, draw in time of need, and, with a proper organisation, would form L most powerful naval reserve. They would .Llways have at home trained sailors, ready for the advance ships ; but, as the Hon. Gentleman well remarked, there was in it too much of mulct and penalty, too little inducement to merit, and too little of permanent interest. It has been the common mistake to attempt matters by coercion which could he much more efficiently and usefully lone by kindness. We may hope that an alteration wiil take place, and that a better mode of treatment will henceforth be adopted to wards our hardy seamen—that steps will be taken, to use the Hon. Secretary's own words, to recal and collect together those ele ments of strength now scattered over the whole globe. By our own fault they are so scattered, and it is in our power to recal them by devising a better mode of treatment for the gallant men upon whom the country must rely fur its safety. What can be more foolish, or ridiculous, or more injurious in its .ffects, than the practice of discharging a whole ship's company the moment she is paid off? the consequences are most demoralising and in jurious to the men themselves—they are plundered of their hard-earned wages by a set of harpies who are in waiting, watching for the opportunity, and in a few (lays are left in destitution, and obliged to seek from other powers that employment which is not afforded to them by their own country. Thus their skill, training, and discipline is lost to us, and transferred to other nations, by whom it is more fully and correctly appreciated. Would it not be far cheaper to retain those valuable men in our own service, to give them a permanent interest in their own country ? A certain number could be kept always ready to supply any demand. We sincerely trust that the present Board of Admi ralty will reorganise and systematise the great defen sive arrangements now in existence. We leave it in their hands, and augur well of the result from the fair promises held out. Ihe German Gazette of Frankfort announces that the Russian and Prussian troops left Cracow on the 13th instant. ..Vhe Austrian garrison was, according to some accounts, to remain for three years, and ac cording to others, for a longer period. The three political residents will also leave, the arms having been removed from their hotels. A Russian agent is to remain. The English agent has received orders from his Government to confine himself to commer cial affairs so long as the present state of things continues. _ _ vv The Hawburgh Correspondent publishes a letter from Hanover of the 17th instant, which says— "The King has been ill for "the last week. Yesterday it wgs reported that his disorder had assumed a serious charac• ter, but we are disposed to believe that the report is un founded." A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette states that on the 18th the Second Chamber of the States of Hanover deliberated on the proposition of M. LANG, respecting the duchies of Sleswick and Holstein. M. DE KLENZE, one of the Alihisters, maintained that the Chamber could not interfere in the matter. Two Members, MM. HOPPENSTEDT and WACHSNIULIL opposed this opinion, and the Chamber at last passed a vote declaring that " the States were fully con vinced that the Government would employ all its efforts to prevent any attempt on the part of a foreign power to meddle with the independence of the duchies of Sleswick and Holstein." On the 16th the following decree of amnesty was published by his Holiness Pope Pins IX. It is signed by the Porn alone, without any counter-signature of a Minister. " Pius X. to his faithful subjects; salutation and apostolic benediction. " In these days, when our heart is moved to see public joy manife s ted at our being raised to the Pontificate, we cannot refrain from a feeling of grief in thinking that a certain num ber of families are unable to participate in the common joy, because th e y h ea r the pain Of k .orne offences committed by one of their members against society, against the sacred rights of the legitimate Prince. We Sow desire to east a look of compassion on the inex perienced youth which has been led away by deceitful hopes, in the midst of political discord, where it has been rather the seduced than the seducer. It is for that reason that we %wish to stretch out the hand, and offer the peace of the heart to those mis,, , ruided children who will evince sincere re pentance. Now that our good people have shown towards us their affection, and their constant veneration for the Holy Sec, and for our person, we are persuaded that we may par don without danger. We, therefore, ordain that the com mencement of our Pontificate shall be solemnised by the fol lowing act of sovereign grace : " 1. There is granted to all our subjects who are undergo ing punishment for political offences a remission of their sen tences, provided that they make in writing a solemn declara tion, ou their honour, that they will not in any manner or at any time abuse this.grace, and will for the future fulfil the duties of good and faithful subjects. " 2. Those of our subjects who have fled to foreign coun- EV E NJ* G, .ll U L - YT 1E4_46. tries in consequence of colitical crimes, may profit by the' present resolutions in making known within the delay of one year to our Apostolic Nuncios or co her representatives of the Holy See, their desire to profit by this act of our clemency. "`3. We equally pardon those who, fur having taken part in any conspinicies- againgt the State, are under political sur veillance, or may have been declared incapable of holding municipal offices. ".4. It is our desire that all criminal prosecutions for poli tical offet.ces which have not yet received defitaivejteigment should be instantly put a stop to, and that the prisoners be set at liberty, unless any of them may demand the con ' tinuation of their trials, in order that their innocence may be proved. "5. There shall not be included in the provisions of the preceding articles the small number of ecclesiastics, of military officers and trap/oyes of the Government who have been already condemned, or have fled, or are now under trial for political offences. With regard to those we reserve our de cision until we shall have obtained information_as to their particular position. "6. There are also excluded from the present amnesty crimes and ordinary offences, which are subject to the juris diction of the tribunal. " We are anxious to feel a confidence that those who will avail themselves of our clemency will know how at all times to respect their duties and their honour. We hope, more over, that their minds, softened by our pardon, will lay aside their civil hatreds, which are always the occasion and the effect of political passions, in order to draw closer those bonds of peace by which God desires that all the sons of the same father shall be unied • but if our hope be deceived. it would be with bitter pain drat we should call to mind that if clemency is the sweetest attribute of sovereignty, justice is its first duty. " Given at Rome this 16th day of July, 1846, in the first year of our Pontificate. " PIUS P P. IX." (Signed) A letter from Rome, of the 18th, gives an interest ing account of the effect produced by the publication of the amnesty. It says : " Nothstanding the exceptions, more than 1,200 per sons are liberated by the liqty determination of the truly generous heart of Pius IX. -if proclamation of the Holy Father, and the list of the perstins amnestied, was posted up yesterday evening at seven o'clock. Half an hour afterwards the people crowded to the Quirinal, shouting Viva Papa Viva Pio nono! Viva it nostro boon Papa? From half past seven to half-past nine, the crowd continued to increase at the Quirinal and on the square of Monte Cavallo, and the Holy Father appeared, in conformity wish the wish of the people, three times at the Grand Balcony, from which he gave each time his benediction, amidst the loudest and most en thusiastic acclamations. At about ten o'clock an orchestra was celebrating the fete of SL Camilla, in the church of the Madeleine. The crowd went there, and requested the musi cians to leave the church and go to the Quirinal to perform in testimony of the joy of the people. At eleven o'clock the square of Monte Cavallo and the environs of the Quirinal were still filled with a compact crowd, whose acclamations were incessant. The repeated cries of Viva Pio nono induced the Pope to appear a fourth time in the balcony, notwith standing the lateness of the hour. The night was very da: k, but torches were burning in the balcony, and the populace had also lighted an immense number, so that every facewas visible, and the effect was pleasing in a high degree. The musicians and a portion of the crowd remained under the windows of the Quirinal until after midnight. There were no guards out, and yet not the slightest breach of order occured. The city will be illuminated for several evenings in honour of this great event. It is reported that the Pope will in a very few days announce his decision as to the choice of a Secretary o! State. The prevailing opinion is that Cardinal Gizzi will be appointed to • this important post, but many persons imagine that the Pope, notwithstanding his wish to appoint Cardinal Gizzi, will be compelled to yield to the influence of high per sonages, who are opposed to such a course. As to Cardinal Lambruschini, it is said that he has lost all chance of being made Secretary of State." The ratification of the commercial treaty between Russia and the Porte has been received at Constanti nople. REDSCHID PACHA on this occassion received the decoration of the order of the White Eagle in Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 20th instant. The Miguelite movement in the north has been completely suppressed. The Septembrist movement has, however, acquired increased force, and Signor LOUREIRO, the Minister at War, whose neglect of the claims of the officers who took part in the movement at Almeida, in 843, has been forced to resign his portfolio to Viscount SA DA 13ANDEInA. The following is the composition of the new Ministry :—Duke DE PALMELLA, President and Minister of the kingdom ; Viscount SA DA BAN DEIRA, War ; Count DE LEVEADIO remains in the Foreign Affairs; Senor AGUIAR, Justice; JULIO GOMES, Finance; MOUSINHO, Marine. Madrid Papers of the 20th have arrived. The Herald() continues to advocate the claims of Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS to the hand of his cousin, the QUEEN. General Pavia has been appointed Captain-General of Galicia, in the room of General VILLA LoNGA re signed. MADRID BOURSE, JULY 20.—The Three per Cents Vie` reported to be 344, buyers ; Five per Cents., 21i ditto ; and Passive Debt, 61. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. General LAMoRICIERE has announced himself as a candidate for the first arrondissement of Paris, in oppo :•ition to 51. Cesimiu PERIER, and although M. ODILON BARROT comes forward as the General's political god father, yet the Liberals seem by no means satisfied with his professions of faith ; and, accordingly, the Courrier Francais attacks him for not being suffi ciently explicit, while, on the other hand, the Journal des Debats, the organ of the Ministry, attacks him for not at once, if he is an Opposition candidate, avowing himself to be such, instead of contenting himself with declaring that he shall enter the Chamber as a " perfectly independent man." The Sloniteur Parisien announces the arrival of Marshal BUGEAUD at Cette, from Algiers, and adds that he will return to Africa after the elections. The society of Libre &hang istes of Bordeaux held its second meeting on the 21st. The Mayor of Bor deaux, who is the president of the society, gave an account to the meeting of the impressions that he had received in his recent visit to England, and called upon such of the members of the society as are electors to give their votes only to the advocates of free trade. M. Foucumt has been appointed Director • General of Civil Affairs in Algeria. M. NASSIEN, the friend and successor of the Abbe SICAED, the inventor of the system of instructing the deaf and dumb, died at Lille on the 21st. He was 75 years of age. . PARIS BOURSE, JULY 25.-The market continues ex ceedingly firm, and both Railway Shares and the French Funds have advanced. The Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 30c., and were done in the Coulisse, at 4 o'clock, at 83f. 32ic. demanded. Havre Shares were again in great request, par ticularly towards the close. Spanish Threes were also sought after during the day. Definitive Shares are better -those of Lyons to Avignon being done at 25f. below par, and those of Bordeaux to Cette at 4W. below par. Notice was posted up to-day at the Bourse that no business would be transacted on Wednesday, the 29th, in conscnuence of its being the grand holiday of the three days of July.

THE RICHMOND RAILWAY. (THIS • DAY.) The:Richmond Railway was opened to the public this day. The station-houses are still unfinished, but the directors have most properly determined to lose no time in affording the public the benefits derivable from the improved means of transit. The journey to Richmond may now be performed by the ordinary trains in half, and by the express in a quarter of an hour. There are four intermediate stations, namely, Mortlake, Barnes, Putney, and Wandsworth, at each of which the ordinary trains take up passengers. The di rectors have already entered into arrangements with one of the steam-packet companies for a boat to take passen gers to and from the terminus at Nine Elms at a reduced price. We trust that this will be extended, and that boats calling at all the important stations on the river may meet every train. In no way can they confer so great a be nefit on the company whose affairs they manage. Trains are to run every hour in the day from eight o'clock in the morning until half-past nine at night. The f a cilities thus afforded will, we doubt not, induce many professional gentlemen, who have hitherto been unable to spare the time consumed by slow modes of conveyance, to take up their re sidences at places contiguous to the stations, or at least occa sionally enjoy a purer air than that of the City. We under•. stand that proposals have been made by the South-Western Company for the purchase of the line, but that the Richmond Company have postponed the negotiation urtil they have had some experience of the returns likely to be yielded. Two folio columns of particulars of the Royal Christening were given in yesterday's Observer. The marriage of Lord Henley with Miss Augusta Peel, daughter of the Dean of Worcester, wi:l take place on Thursday next. ~= MONEY and CO3IMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about • 3,500 bales, at former rates. shares were steady. Most parties in the City connected with banking and com mercial pursuits appear deeply anxious as to the result of the debate on the Sugar Duties, which will be commenced in the House of Commons this evening, and, it is sincerely hoped brought to a conclusion very speedily. The passage of the Ministerial measure through the House of Commons is deemed all but a certainty, and should Lord Brougham bring forward the matter, though indirectly, as is believed will be the case this evening, something like an index will be formed of the extent of hostility' that may be expected to bear upon the proposition of the Premier. The accounts received from the United States of the passing of the tariff, in which many concessions are made in favour of this country, have gives very con siderable satisfaction in mercantile circles, as there were doubts entertained that the scale would have been "barked" in the upper branch of the Legislature. It is now fairly presumed that business will very considerably be augmented between the two countries, especially after the adjustment of the Oregon question, which has so long unsettled mercantile pursuits. Some samples of the new crop of Wheat were placed on the stands in Mark-lane this morning, and realised 555. per quarter, or about 6s. to Bs. less than might have been realised the week before last, quality considered. A very considerable amount of business has been done in the grain trade to-day. The new 11 heats are rather short as to weight, but of good average quality. The accounts from most parts of the country within a circle of 70 to 80 miles state that harvest operations, where not already actually be gun, will become general in the course of the present week. Heavy showers Pave fallen in all directions to the great bene fit of the spring sown corn especially. There is a very firm market for the Funds this morning, and the appearance of things has most decidedly improved. The price for the Account is now 96%, and for the first transfer day, to-morrow, 95% ; Exchequer-bills remain flat at from 15s. to 10s. premium. There has been a slight fall in India Bonds. Bank Stock has advanced 1 per cent. A very limited amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Stocks this morning, but still prices are compa ratively firm. The New Brazilian Bonds for the Account are at 36%, the Mexican Five per Cents. at 26, the Portu guese Four per Cents. are at 46, Spanish Consols at 24% to 25, the Three per Cents. at 36% %, the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at .59% %, and the Lour per Cents. 94%. The Railway Share Market has been rather more firm this morning. Still business cannot be said to be brisk. • BRITISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. rnicEs. Bank Stock .. 208 209 239 Three per Cent.

During the past week the arrivals of English Wheat were moderately extensive, and of fair average quality ; but those of all other articles of home produce were small. The receipts of Grain from Scotland were limited, yet we received a fair average quantity of Oats from Ireland. The imports of fo reign Corn were small, but those of Flour exceeded 25,000 barrels. Fre-h up, the receipts of English Wheat were very small ; yet the show of samples exceeded the wants of the dealers. The trade, therefore, must be considered excessively dull, at almost nominal quotations. Although we can make no actual alteration in values to sell, lower rates —say from Is. to 2s. per quarter—have been submitted to by the factors. There were about sixty quarters of NEW Talavera Wheat on offer, in fair average condition, and which found buyers at 55s per quarter. The show of foreign Wheat was large. All descriptions were a mere drug, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last Monday's prices. No parcels on offer in bond. From all parts most flattering accounts continue to be received respecting the appearance of the Wheats, and the progress making in harvest operations. Notwith standing the show of Barley was small, that article met a very inactive sale. However, the quotations obtained yetba the relyholdersl7buuldt last week were mostly suppo rted. We had a full su pp l y of Malt, the time of year co nsidered. Superfine white parcels were quite as dear, but , in all other kinds, . next i t a o te no r t a h t i e n s g . was doing. From all p arts onl y moderate su pplies of Oats have ccme to band; nevertheless, the de mand for that article was Beans sascarceexlytraemnyetliTing was doing, n ot submit to lower terms. Peas were a slow inqui ry, not cheaper. The sale for Flour was unusually dull, at the l a t e decline in value. MEASDItE al hevalier G3s to as Oats—Yorkshire .t . m . d .
