Sheffield has been the scene of great rejoicings. The object, and the manner in which they were cele brated, are alike entitled to a few laudatory remarks. The Free-Trade Association met on Wednesday to receive its valedictory report, and to pass certain resolutions, not the least significant of which was " That in case any serious attempts be made by the protectionist party to induce the Legislature to retrace its steps, or prevent the final extinction of the corn-laws in February, 1849, this Association shall be called into renewed existence." The tradesmen closed their shops, and a general holiday prevailed. Distinguished public men were present—great truths were enunciated, im portant facts elicited. Justly proud of the consum mation of a vast national boon, there was a heartfelt interchange of political triumph throughout the meet ing, leaving nothing to be desired at the close of the proceedings. As a healthy and tributary stream to the broad river of free trade, whose channel was so admirably deepened and widened by the master spirit of the League, it has duly followed the course of its powerful ally, and restrained its refreshing influ ence within the natural boundaries of peace and social order. Satisfied that they have been successfully instrumental in irrigating, to a wholesome extent, the public mind with the salutary doarines of unfettered commerce, the Free-Trade Association of Sheffield has now risen from its la bours, conscious that the principles it has enforced will gladden the earth with abundance wherever they shall be known and developed. Nothing is more re markable than the absence of all vituperation which the assembled champions of a civil victory, without its parallel in the history either of our own or that of any other country, observed towards their prostrate and discomfited foes. But just emerged from an arduous conflict, nothing would have been more natural than that, flushed v,ith triumph, they should have retaliated upon the miserable invectives with which, for so long a period, they were incessantly and pitifully assailed by the monopolists, and not less in their hour of strength than when they were in their expiring throes. A spirit of self-rectitude has, however, dictated other feelings, and thus consecrated, in the most dignified manner, their noble achievement. In the language of one of the speakers, "we have loved our enemies, and in return many of them have begun to love us." This is the effect of the conviction of having a righteous cause in hand. It empowers its advo cates, by the exhibition of a manly forbearance, to read a moral lesson, which we trust will serve to allay animosities, and educe harmony from amid the disordered passions which still rankle in many a breast. Lord MoßpEnr, whose mini is so poetical, whose taste is so pure and classical, and whose judgment withal is so sound, delivered an impressive speech. The principle that Governments ought to intermeddle as little as possible with the impulses of individual enterprise was cogently adverted to, and it was predicted that the present Govern ment would enhance their claims to public confidence by removing every remaining impediment to inter national reciprocity. Ills Lordship alluded to the spread of the potato disease in Ireland, and in terms which, we regret to remark, amply corroborate the melancholy truths we have so frequently of late pub lished on this fearful topic. We will furnish an ex tract from the moving language of Lord MORPETIT, and the more so, since it affords matter for serious re flection to the most inveterate protectionist : " And does not this dark and mysterious evil, which now seems to be spreading over vast tracts of country, seem to bring something* in the spirit of a solemn rebuke to those who, in the earlier discussions of the present session, without, I am sure, any intention to deal lightly with the privations of their countrymen, yet permitting themselves, with something like premature levity, to in dulge in sarcastic references to the malady in the pota toes ; and to those who have been lately filling the market places and farmers' tables of our provinces with dismal lamentations over the good old days of bygone protection? I fear that lam presenting to!you no imaginary picture when I say that if such measures are not taken— especially in the sister country of Ireland— as I know are about being taken—multitudes will run the risk of famine." To buy in the cheapest, and to sell in the dearest market—a doctrine which the monopolists have so much struggled, but in vain, to over with ridicule— was next handled, and in the most felicitous style. We have not time to do justice to the admirable ex position it received at Lord MORPETH'S hands. Suffice it, that every sentence embodied an important truth, and carried conviction home to the minds of his au dience. The most encouraging feature of Lord MORPETH'S address consisted in the assurance that other countries are evincing a readiness to imitate our great example. By none more than by Sir ROBERT PEEL can this intelligence be received with gratification, since he predicted in Par liament, that if his great measure of the session were sanctioned by law, nations, proximate and remote, would soon he found following in our wake. Already then we are told has Russia commenced relaxing her restrictive policy; Sardinia and Sicily likewise; Germany and the Rhine are starting in their slum bers ; the Pope of ROME is countenancing the forma tion of railways, those great accelerators of human intercourse ; a Free Trade Association has been formed in France, and our national paeans have met with a response from the opposite shores of the Atlantic. These are electrical signs, and England may well feel proud of the high position she fills and the moral sway she exercises throughout the known world. Brilliant as has been her career in other periods, still in none will the laurels shine so con spicuously as those which she seems destined to gather' in the nineteenth century. A magnificent entertainment (the proceedings of which are reported in another column) was given, on 'Wednesday evening, to the proprietary of the Times newspaper. We cannot but conceive that the various circumstances attendant upon this demonstration assume to themselves a public and almost national importance. In paying so noble a tribute of grati tude and admiration to that extraordinary journal, the many eminent personages who were principally instrumental in so doing have virtually acknowledged the power, and the dignity, and the moral influence possessed and exercised by the press generally. The en tertainment given on Wednesday is at once a well merited panegyric upon the character of the Times indi vidually and a recognition of the authoritative and beneficent force wielded by " the fourth estate " col lectively. For both those reasons the banquet in question is invested with a peculiar and enduring interest. Nothing could well have redounded more to the honour of the Times individually, or have ac corded better with the vast and predominating in fluence of the press collectively, than the facts con nected with the recent proceedings at the London Tavern. In the Royal Exchange of the metropolis of this great commercial empire a tablet is raised in commemoration of the exertions of the Times news paper in divulging one of the most extensive, and orga nized frauds ever attempted in the mercantile world. The exposure of all the complicated and nefarious details connected with that atrocious conspiracy was the result of almost unprecedented enterprise, of almost unexampled courage, and of almost unequalled saga city. That enterprise, that courage, and that sagacity were evidenced by the Times newspaper. It was a beautiful idea that, in gratitude for such spontaneous and signal services in guarding the interests of the public, and in drawing retribution down upon its moral assassins—it was a beautiful idea, we say, that, for the purpose of commemorating such services, a tablet, with a suitable inscription, should be erected in the centre of the commerce of the world, and that two scholar hips should be established at Cambridge and Oxford, one connected with the City of LondOn School, the other with Christ's Hospital.. Among those who have contri buted to these testimonials may be enumerated the most eminent names in mercantile affairs—we may say, indeed, considering their hereditary celebrity, the most eminent names in the history of mercantile affairs. The catalogue in truth extends throughout the principal ramifications of commerce ; it embraces the mercantile and banking establishments of London, Paris, Ostend, Florence, Hamburgh, Antwerp, Co logne, Levant, Cadiz, Messina, Macao, Laguayra, and Naples ; it is illumined by the signatures of BARING, of ROTHSCHILD, and of MASTERMAN ; it is responded to by all quarters and sections of the com mercial world in either hemisphere ; but, above all, it is responded to with enthusiasm and alacrity by " The merchants of Old England—the seigneurs of the seas !" As evidences of a cordial appreciation of the courage and abilities of the Times newspaper, we congratulate our Contemporary upon the fact of those testimonials and of that entertainment. It is indeed an occasion upon which no petty jealousies could possibly insinuate them selves, and one in which we can fully sympathise with the honourable pride of the recipient. Such acknow ledgments of gratitude and respect are more than a recompense for the arduous mental and corporeal la bours of years, for the anxieties consequent with a protracted and adventurous contest, for undeserved scurrilities and unmerited neglect. This conspicuous and brilliant tribute to the Times must, therefore, have afforded the proprietary of that journal senti ments of a most encouraging and elevating de scription. Earnestly and truthfully, however, as we sym pathise with our Contemporary upon this interesting and auspicious entertainment, we are disposed to consider the circumstances of that testimony of public approbation as illustrative of the character, the influence, and the position of the Press, rather than as an exclusive compliment to a solitary member of that estate—of the Press generic, not individual. The occasion of this testimony, presided over by the LORD MAYOR of the City of London, and numberin..; amongst those present several of our Bri tish Legislators and of our merchant princes, may, with out hyperbole, be designated an epoch in the annals of a free press, a starting point in the history of a vast intellectual revolution. Such an acknowledgment of the benefits conferred upon the community by an emancipated press, and especially by the daily news papers, does not unquestionably (cannot, in fact,) tend to their elevation ; but it is at least a signal confession of the elevation which they have already attained, of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAIt MORNI the marvellous powers which are entrusted to them, of the sacred responsibilities which are thereby entailed upon them of being the conservators of public morality, the stimulants to national intelli gence, the upholders of the rights and privileges and immunities of every individual in this gigantic com munity. Invested with such prerogatives, it is but just, nay, it is but honest, that the precise position of this so-called (and aptly so-called) " fourth estate should be duly recognised and appreciated. And, to proceed again from generalities downwards, it is but just and honest to offer encouragement and congratulation whenever those prerogatives have been exercised valorously and conscientiously. They were so exercised by the Times in the notorious me of BOGLE versus LAWSON. Throughout the proceedings at the Landon Tavern, on Wednesday evening, the utmost decorum and propriety were preserved. The speeches were in every instance dictated by the best taste imaginable— that delivered by Mr. WALTER, was remarkable for its combinatinn of sound sense and elevated earnest ness. No individual connected with the establishment in Printing-house-square, at all entitled to such a specific mark of approbation, escaped the deserved eulogium of those who were assembled together in their honour. M. J. T. DELANE, as one of the principal editors ; Mr. ALSAGER, as the leading writer of the " City articles ;" and Mr. DOBIE, as solicitor to the Times, were each recompensed, or, we should rather say, rewarded for their brilliant exertions in sustain ing the ieterests of the public—their guerdon for so doing being the approving voices of their fellow-citizens and of their own hearts. Since the invention of printing the benefactions consequent upon a liberated and conscientious Press have never been so memorialised in this country as upon the oc casion of this spontaneous tribute to the Times. We congratulate our Contemporary upon this occurrence, and we moreover congratulate those who, with our selves, are anxious for the spread of enlightenment and civilisation among all classes of the human race. Letters from Leghorn of the 27th ult. announce that at fifty minutes past nine in the morning of that day another shock of an earthquake had been expe rienced, which had occasioned so much damage that several of the inhabitants had been compelled to aban don their houses. It is stated to be the intention of the Empress of RUSSIA to proceed, in the course of next month, to her delightful villa of Orianda in the Crimes, on the shore of the sea of Azof. Her MAJESTY will pass the winter at Orianda. Letters from Vienna of the 24th ult. state that Count STADION, the Governor of Trieste, has left his post without leave, having given only a few hours notice of his intended departure to the director of the police. His flight is attributed to the circumstance of his having entered into a contract for provisions, which the Aulic Council has refused to ratify. Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have arrived. According to these papers the QUEEN had, on the preceding evening, been solemnly betrothed to her cousin, Don FRANCISCO D' ASSTS. The recal of GONZALES BRAVO from his post of Ambassador to Portugal is officially announced. It is believed that Senor DONOSO CORTES will be his successor. Portugal has, it is announced, agreed to deliver up fifteen of the Spanish refugees, on the pretext that their papers were not regular. Are the papers of the CABRALS regular ? Will Spain deliver them up should Portugal demand it ? This trans action is very disgraceful to all the parties con cerned in it. MADRID Boma, Auc. 28.—The funds had risen in consequence of the report of the betrothal of the Queen. The Three per Cents. were done at 348 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 22 ; the Five per Cents. at 22 ; the Passives at 6 1 2; and the Coupons at 201. I'Ve have received the Paris papers of "Wednesday. On Tuesday MM. BUSIERES, OGEE, SAGLIO, and LANJUINAIS, were elected Secretaries to the Cham ber of Deputies. The election of M. OGER iS " a heavy blow and great discouragement" to the war party in France. This is the gentleman who was so constantly denounced by the _National as a Prit chardiste, and who, in consequence of these denuncia tions, was rejected by one of the divisions of the Parisian National Guard when he was a candidate for the colonelcy. The war party continued their denunciations, but ineffectually—the rejected of the National Guard was elected a Deputy, and now has by the Chamber been chosen Secretary. The other Secretaries are all Ministerialists. The officers of the Chamber were installed on Wednesday, on which occa sion M. SAPRY, the temporary President, made a fare well speech on resigning the chair, and M. SAUZET, the permanent President, made an inaugural speech on taking possession of it. The following Deputies were to prepare the addresq, in reply to the Speech from the Throne :—M. MURET DE BORT, the Duke D'lsLy (Marshal BUGEAUD), Count D'ANGEVILLE, and Messrs. LAS CASES, VITET, COURTURE, DES MOUSSEAUX DE GIVRE, DEJEAN, and DARu. They are all Ministerialists. OVERLAND MAIL We are sorry to find, from the accounts in all the papers, that the harvest has been deficient in every part of France. According to the statements of the produce of the harvest, published in the Presse, France will require to import one month's supply for the whole of her population, between this and the time of the next harvest; nearly half the largest quantity of corn that all Europe has ever collected in her stores. The price of bread is rising in Paris, fish is scarcely to be purchased, and meat, vegetables, and eggs are all very dear. Eggs are fourteenpence a dozen, and fillets of beef, eighteenpence a pound. A Toulon letter of the 29th ult. says : INI)IA• Accounts have reached us, brought by the India mail. Sinde had been ravaged by the cholera, be tween the 13th and 25th if June; 8,000 persons have died of it, of whom 885 were Europeans (in. eluding 815 soldiers), 585 sepoys had died, and 7,000 natives. The malady had ceased, and was remount ing the river. A mortal fever had appeared at Sukkur among the European troops; death occurred in less than six hours after the attack. Already 70 deaths. No political news.—Times. AMERICAN NEWS. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The steam -ship Great Western, Captain Matthews, arrived here last night at eleven o'clock, bringing New York papers of the 20th ult., five days later than the Hibernia, which arrived here on this day week. The Great Western had seventy-five passen gers. The Caledonia steam-ship reached Boston on the 18th of August, after a passage of fourteen days. By this arrival there is not any news of importance. The papers come to hand are totally devoid of in terest. Some extensive reforms were being introduced into the navy. Mr. Bancroft, the secretary of that de partment, had determined on making merit the sole ground of promotion, even to subordinate offices, in connexion with this department. It was found that the cotton crop would be below an average. Rumours from almost all quarters were reaching New York as to the extent of the defect in the new crop. The grain crops were represented as being most luxuriant and abundant. The following are extracts from these papers : (From the New York He, ald.) EXPRESS FROM THE SANTA FE EXPEDlTlON.—ln telligence from Fort Leavenworth to the 9th instant, has been received at St. Louis. An express had arrived from General Kearney's camp. When the express left, he was within 130 miles of Bent's Fort. all his forces progressing rapidly and comfortably. Nine deaths had occurred among the volunteers during their progress across the prairies. Rumours were circulating among the traders and the Mexicans, to the effect that General Urrea was marching at the head of a large Mexican force for the protection of Santa Fe. General Kearney was pushing on with all possible dispatch, and if his pro vision waggons kept up, he would not delay at Bent's Fort, but go direct on to Santa Fe. FROM THE PACIFIC VIA NEW GRENADA.—By the barque Bogota, Captain Thomas, we have received news from Valparaiso of late date. United States ship Con stitution, Captain Percival, left Valparaiso June 19th, for Rio Janeiro and home. The news of the war with Mexico had arrived, and there was a report at Callao, which created a great excitement, and there were three privateers fitting out, two at Guaquil and one at Pita. Mr. Linsey, bearer of dispatches from the United States Government, arrived at Panama on the 23d of July, by the way of Jamaica, bound to Mazatlan. We learn from Captain Thomas that the difficulties between Equa dor and New Grenada had been amicably settled to the satisfaction of both parties. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

El Herald() published a supplement I.lst night (the 28th) stating that the Queen had selected the Infante Don FranciFco de Assis for her Consort, and had communicated her choice to the Council of Ministers, w Ito met yesterday in consequence, and were still sitting at five o'clock P.M., and also that the present Cortes will be convoked for the 14th of next month to receive the information thus communicated; that they are to be immediately after dissolved, and the new Cortes con voked in December. The same journal anticipates the most perfect state of felicity for Spain as the result of the marriage. El Tiempo says, " The matrimonial question has been resolved in the Councils of the Crown, and her Majesty has accepted as her consort her august cousin, his Most Serene Highness Don Francisco de Assis. We accept respectfully the wishes of her Majesty; and we desire that this alliance be productive of many days of felicity to Spain. It is also asserted, that, at the same time, the marriage of the Infanta her most Serene Highness Donna Luisa Fernanda, with the Duke of Montpensier, the youngest son of the King of the French, was de cided on. The first news is certain and beyond all doubt. The second appears to be false, incredible. The present Cortes are to be immediately convoked, in order to be informed of the determination of her Majesty." El Eco del Comercio declares that the state of the country is most sad. If France approve of the mar riage of the Queen with Don Francisco, on the condition of the Infanta marrying the Duke of Montpensier, it is merely a pretext, and a proposition made without hope of its being admitted, to keep the country in its present state of anxiety and difficulty. The Gazette publishes a decree, signed by the Queen, and counter-signed by the Minister of the Interior, an nouncing that she has determined to contract matrimony with her cousin, the Infante Don Francisco de Assis Maria, and commanding that the Cortes be convoked for the 14th of September next, in conformity with the 47th article of the Constitution. El Espectador says that the moment the Carlists see all hope lost of the Count of Montemolin marrying the Queen, they will rush forth to the street, appeal to arms, and renew the civil war. El Espanol declares that the British Cabinet de clined to propose a Coburg as its candidate, saying that the Queen's marriage was purely an affair per taining to the Spanish nation to decide on, and that an intimation to that effect has been received. It asserts, as most positive, that it has been decided, that the Queen's sister shall be married to the Duke of Mont pensier. The Progresistas intent publishing a manifesto to the natio❑ and to Europe, protesting in the most decided manner against the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Montpensier. They demand Don Enrique for the hand of her Royal Highness. The funds have improved in consequence of the offi cial announcement of the Queen's marriage.

WEST INDIA MAIL.—The Royal West Indian mail steamer Dee arrived at Southampton yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. She brings no news of importance. THE GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. —ln our report of the meeting of the shareholders of this company on Thursday, we represented Mr. Spack man to have stated that the managing committee were squandering 40,0001. or 50,0001. of the money of the shareholders; the statement sl . ould have been 401. or 501. a day in unnecessary advertisements, which exp:m diture was declared to be illegal under the Act, until after a general meeting had i.een held. MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY.—The Sixth Volume of the entertainiug " Diary and Utters of Madame D'Ar blay," is at length on the eve of publication. Accord ing to report, it will prove to be one of the liveliest and most interesting volumes of the series ; for, besides the charming writer's unique pictures of court life in the days of George the Third and Queen Charlotte, which are resumed with many additional traits of character of different members of the royal circle, she carries the reader to the Court of Napoleon, when First Consul, and makes him acquainted with many of the celebrities of the French capital in the stirring times that succeeded the Revolution. The Ist of September was a glorious autumnal day for our sporting friends who early rar.ged the fields with dog and gun." The partridges were plentiful on the whole though here and there was a scarcity; the birds were wild and strong on the wing, the season having been favourable for early hatching; in some places, however, the hay har vest had destroyed the first hatches, and here the case was different. With a delightful day, a clear country, and no failure of birds, that day produced more than the average of sport. `Ye hear that th e h ares are not expected to be au- MMUS t his 1304913.-.

BURKE'S GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE LANI•ED GENTRY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND ' Part IV.—This is the concluding Part of one of the most useful and interesting works we have fur a long time encountered. It comprises a general history of that class in society which holds the next place to the privileg ed order—the untitled country gentlemen—a class nut one degree below the other in antiquity of descent, per sonal accomplishment, and n.itiolial usefulness ; nay, the very chiefs of the houses from which the Nubility spring, are generally to be found in this division of the aristocracy. This, indeed, must occur in a country like our Own, and for the simple reason that the eldest son and heir being already provided for, the field of adven ture belongs almost exclusively to the junior members of the family ; who, thus forced up on the a r ena , achieve by their prowess or their talents, the sword or the p en, fame, wealth, and eminence. The work is one of the most complete of its class, and evinces the deep research, indefatigable perseverance , and unre mitting labour of its 'able authors in its prcduciion. We trust that so useful a national publication will meet the encouragement that it merits, and that the s p irite d pub lisher will be amp l y com p e nsated for the heavy outlay he has so lib era ll y i ncurre d in giving this valuable work to the public.—M essenge r. The following nut very probable shooting adven• ture is given by the Journal de la Meuse :—Two days ago M. Bachet, of Consenvoge, was out with a party, when he saw his dog running a hare hard, and behind the dog a ferocious wolf, following with evidently sinister intentions. Preserving his coolness, he fired his double barrelled gun, and first killed the hare, and next the wolf, by a shot from the other barrel. The dog appeared completely astounded at being thus "at once di prived of his prey, and delivered from a formidable enemy. 6 NG, SEPTEMBER 5, 1846 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun, of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yisterday were $,OOO ii,oluding 500 `or exportation and 1,500 on specu latioa. The urirket wa : very firm. shares sv,a;n flat. Messrs. Earnond and Co.'s sale yesterday went offrather quietly. Little sleculation is going on, from the ab sence of so many of the, principal operators in the country. A good business was done. The following are a few of the principal sales:— Great North of India .£o 5 6 Cambridge and Oxford Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 1 2 0 Reading and Reigate 1 1 6 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Taw Vale Extension and Dock 0 11 0 Great Eastern and Western 1 0 0 Norfolk Extens. to Norwich and Brandon 2 7' 0 London and York ... 2 3 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension......... 2 7 0 Shrewsby., Wotverh., and South Stafford 2 8 6 Churnet and Blvthe Shrewsbury and Birmingham ..... 2 17 6 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 1 25 15 0 Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham East Indian 0 17 0 Paris and Lyons East Lincolnshire Direct Northern 1 15 6 Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush London and Blackwall, New ......... 4 12 0 Northern and Southern Connecting Grand Union West Riding Union Manchester and Southampton 1 3 0 Louvain It la Sambre Great Western of Bengal Oll 6 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire Shropshire Union and Canal We yesterday drew attention briefly to a matter which has excited much interest among a most wealthy class of individuals who are connected with the fur trade. The result of inquiries made on the subject have fur nished us with the following facts:—The common prac tice of the Hudson's Bay Company has been from "time immemorial" to retain goods offered for sale, if not then bought by customers, until the period when again the trade is assembled together. A departure from this rule has just occurred, and the subject is one, cotsidering the monopoly of the corporation of the Hudson's Bay Company, which requires something more than the blunt refusal to answer questions on the part of the governor, to satisfy public justice. A buyer of beaver skins for years, sometimes averaging 11,0001. to 12,0001., complains that betwixt sale and sale he is undersold by the broker or other officer of the company itself. He loses money by finding a competitor in the field who undersells him. He asks for information from the governor relative to the fact, and whether such course was to be followed for the future. The governor (Sir John Pelly) most politely told Mr. Mayhew, the party who put the questions, that the Company would not be dictated to, and that he might bid or walk out of the room, just as he pleased. It should be noticed that those remarks were considered rude, and that the complainant bad in the opinion of the trade ground of complaint. The sale went oft very heavily, and no dOubt the future conduct of this powerful corporation towards its buyers will be marked with that degree of attention to the interests of the fur trade which was universally displayed by Vie directors of the East India Company to their buyers, during the who!e period of their commercial career. The papers by the Great Western have just come to hand. There is little of interest in them. A considerable amount of business has been transacted in the Funds this morning. Consols are at 96i for the Account, and at 968 for cash. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has receded. Bank Stock is worth 210, A further improvement has taken place in the Spanish Bonds to day.
