True economy, in public transactions not less than In private, is more nearly allied to munificence than to parsimonious retrenchment. We believe that thi s is happily understood by all the more patriotic a n d intelligent of our representatives. Hitherto, how ever, the members of the Legislature appear to have acted upon a totally different principle —Effecting un necessary reductions in some quarters, while in others they have been needlessly squandering the national revenues. An unnatural emulation in this course has, moreover, been excited between the members of the Legislature and the members of the Administration. In asserting thus much we would by no means be understood to restrict our remarks in this particular to any indivi dual Cabinet, s the accusation, unfortunately, holding good through a long series of Governments. Thou sands of pounds sterling have in this mann er been lavished upon objects altogether superfluous in .their character, at the very time that a paltry hun dred or so may have been grudged in the furtherance of` some enterprise in which the general advan tage was involved. The assertion applies equalls well 'to almos every department of the public service, but to ' none more so than to one which is. all the m perhaps, o f oat important—we mean that of tht "" ---I " m 'n ' ---- Gt f e f reatßritain.

S everal y ears m), immediately-u is fact upon the demonstration th at the aenw ror .ii,..., ~.. m a ritime 1.0mr,.,., upon the Es (ffectuzd as an instrument of up, We insisted imperative necessity of applying - the new contrivance to ou r ship of war as speedily l.' Possible—aware that by sv, eta the maritime forme of Englond would be T r, rendered independent of wind and tide, and freed, moreover, from the necessity of being incumbered by the paddle-boxes required in the old steam-boat sy s - tem. A deplorable interval elapsed without our being enabled to witness the recognition of the value of the screw in any manner by the official personages at the Admiralty. What steam force was employed in the Royal Navy continued to be employed after the old fashion—through the medium of those floundering paddle-wheels which are capable of being destroyed so very readily by the enemy's marine ordnance, and which, while thus insecurely situated, interfere in the most effectual manner with the completeness of our broadsides. Latterly the folly of this has been gradually becoming more and more apparent to our maritime administrators. Man-&-war after man• o' -war has been fitted up with the screw during the last twelve or eighteen monthp, until we really begin to have some prospect of seeing the system at last generally adopted throughout the service. But how is all this being, accomplished? Why, in the majority of in stances the vessels already on the stocks have bad to be " altered !" Here is the evidence of that false economy to which we have been earnestly and re peatedly making allusion as so pernicious--an enc.- noray beginning in mistaken restriction and ending in unnecessary expenditure. Fo'rtuuately we are enabled to notify from time to time the multiplied application of the screw to the vessels of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. As the latest evidence of this, we observe that the screw propeller is ordered by the authorities at the Admi ralty to be adopted in three out of the few 120 gun three-deckers now on the stocks in Portsmouth Dock yard. Another order of a like kind has been issued, moreover, in reference to her MAJESTY'S ship - Algiers (90 guns), 'at present building in No. 3 s lip dockyard, designed by the Committee of References. This is exactly as it should be, and we announce the improvement thus indicated in our naval administration with the more pleasure, because we remember that it is an improvement we ourselves have so long advocated. An improvement of a different character is manifested elsewhere in the same department — in the circumstance of the prospective comple tion of the noble steam-yard, called the Key ham Steam-yard, at Devonport. Immediately the works there have terminated, which, it is under stood, will be some time during the commencement of the ensuing autumn, it is expected that her MA JESTY will in person witness their inauguration. The event cannot but be looked forward to with especial interest from the extent of the works, together with • their peculiar value and magnificence. From these and a variety of other interesting particulars it will be apparent that some of our more sanguine anticipations in reference to the maritime service of England are already in a fair way of being realised, now that the Board of Admiralty is presided over by a professional chieftain in the person of his Grace the Duke of NOBTLIUM BERLAND. Once more has the deeply-injured Baron DE BODE fully and completely established the validity of his claims ou.the British Government. The report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords is decisive on the question. If any doubt could have been en tertained on the subject, it must be removed. The most captious opponent can no longer raise an objection, or assert that there is any flaw in the title of the claimant, or that he has been guilty of any lathes to justify the refusal of a prompt settlement of his just demand.. For more than six-and-thirty years that demand has been unceasingly urged, and we regre, to say that it has been met by a series of paltry eva sions and pettifogging objections, highly derogatory to the national character, and disgraceful to those by whom such expedients were re sorted to. Xis now certain that the Baron DE BODE is equitably, if not legally, the creditor of the British nation, and that the application of the sponge to the public debt, and the withholding of the dividends from the fundholders, might as well be advocated as any further resistance to the immediate liquidation of the liability. It is no longer a question of convenience or inconvenience; it signifies nothing that the specific fund from which payment should have been made may have been applied to other purposes, or that tha French Government were the original debtors. Eng ' !and deliberately assumed the liability, and not gra tuitously, for an adequate amount was paid into the English Exchequer to sati§fy the claim. The honour and integrity of the nation are at stake, and must not be sacrificed on trivial or insufficient grounds. The facts of the • case are very simple. On the .restorative of the Bourbons certain treaties and conventions were entered into between the French and English Governments, by which the former un dertook to satisfy the claims of British subjects for property, movable or immovable, unduly confiscated by the French authorities; and a mixed Commis sion was appointed to investigate these claims, which it was further provided should be put forward on or before the 20th of February, 1816. CLEMENT, Baron de Bode, duly preferred his claim within the pre scribed period, but before it was investigated a new convention was entered into, by which, in consi deration of 60,000,000 of francs, paid into the English Treasury, in addition to 70,000,000 francs paid under the former convention, France was discharged from all these claims, which England undertook-to satisfy. All then that was required of Baron CLEMENT was that he should prove that be was a British subject, that he was possessed of property, and that that pro perty had been " unduly" confiscated by the French Government. These points were strongly contested, and strict proof was required. It was first denied that claimant was a British subject; but in answer it was ,bown that he • was born of an English mother, at lAcxley Park, in Staffordshire, and baptized at lit tozeter in - the year 1777. - Ile was, therefore, to-all intents and purposes, a natural born subject of his Britannic MAJESTY. The objection was therefore at once abandoned. The next proof required was, that he was possessed of, or entitled to, the property confiscated. ,It was shown on this part Of the case that CHARLES, 'Baron delrode; the father of CLEMENT, had duly obtained a grant of the lordship and lands of Jultz, in Lower Alsace, being a German male fief, and that the in vestiture was made to the father and son jointly. The effect of this was to confer an estate for life on could 'he father, with a vested remainder to the eon, which n t or at ihencumb ered l79l,the by the father. o in I a t n was a way a further r b :b er alienated stated sstate of the full e r was duly dd ce t o the son ; and it was shown that Barons CHARLES and CLEMENT left Alsace and took refuge in - Germany in 1793, and that the property was soon after seized and confiscated as emigrants' property, by y the revolutionary authorities.. Some difficulty Was experienced by Baron CLE MENT in bringing forward formal proof of the cession in consequence of the ire destruction of the public •Irchives, and his nivelenents of ti • tle by the French and German armies, While, however, he was obtaining the necessary evidend e it was for the first time intimated that proof would be requir e d, that the considered property was as belonging to a British subject, and was taken away from hi m on account of bj nis being a British su ea. It has lance been re peatedly decided that no such proof was at all neces terms of the Convention, sary, and that, under the all the claimant that was required was, th a t was a British subject and that the property was confiscated on account of emigration. In cousequence, however, of this erroneous and absurd decision the inquiry was prematurely closed and the claim rejected. The Baron appealed to the Privy Council, but he was re stricted from bringing forward evidence that had not been before the Commissioners, and the appeal was dis missed on the ground that full proof was not given of the cession. Thus, although the decision was asown to be palpably wrong, advantage was taken of it to injure the appellant. It is p-rfPctlA si,dtening to follow the course of pettifogging - chicanery by which the claim was re sisted and payment evaded for no less than thirty years since that erroneous judgment. Suffice it to say, that it has been proved beyond the possibility of doubt, and is now ackr 1 d d 6nw , that cession to Baron CLEMENT was bona fide, and in every respect legal and vab • d. that his pr“perty was unduly con fiscated, an d th at he was a British subject, and presented his cl • • aim in due t i me ; that the value of that property was on the Ist January, 1819, 364,2661. sterling, and that, after payment of all claims of dilly registered cil v i m ants which bad been established,' - A sum of 482,7521. 6i. Bd. remained on hand ; a considerable portion whereof was paid into the Bank of England on Government account. Under these circumstances every right-minded man must agree that "it is a case of g►eat hardship and injustice," and that it is incumbent on the repre sentatives of the people, as guardians of the public purse, to remove the stigma from the British name by compensating the claimant, so far as money can do, for the heartbreaking delays and bitter disappointments which he has so long endured. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a decree permitting the following persons to return immediately to France MM. Creton, Duvergier de Hauranne, Chambolle, Tillers, De Recuusat, Jules de Lasteyrie, General LAidet, and Anthony Thouret. Another decree revokes the decree which inter dicted the following gentlemen to reside in France :-- MM.. Michel Renaud, Signard, Joly, Theodore Bac, Belin, Besse, Miliotte. A telegraphic dispatch announces the arrival of the French steamer the Charlemagne in the Dardanelles, with the French ambassador on board. The Constitutionnel contradicts the report published by some London parrs with respect to a commercial treaty between England and France, and the re duction of the duties on coal and iron entering into France. The Legitimist printseller JEANNE, Passage Choi seul, was tried on Saturday for exposing in his win dows portraits of HENRI V. of various sizes, with de vices significant of the desire of the nation for the return of their lawful sovereign. He was condemned to fifteen days' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 200 f., with forfeiture of the obnoxious prints. On the subject of the pretended treaty there ap pears the following in the Independence of Brussels of yesterday : " We have received a letter from Vienna from a per son in a position to be well informed, and who contra dicts not only the authenticity of the treaty published by the Chronicle, but the existence of any document of the kind. Doubtless, the letter says, communications have taken place between the Northern Courts on the subject in question, both before and since the 10th of May; but terse communications bad reference to even tualities which might happen in Europe in consequence of any particular occurrence in France, and never to any interference in the internal affairs of the latter power. The Austrian G3vernment would not under any cir cumstances lend a hand to such an act. The document published by the Chronicle is considered at Vienna as a kind of pilot balloon, to ascertain the intentions of the powers. For this very motive Austria will not give an official contradiction to the publication; the Cabinet of Vienna contents itself with inspiring the article in the Lloyd's, in which the treaty is declared to be apo cryphal." The Moniteur copies the Lloyd's article. The last section of the Strasburgh railway from Nancy to Strasburgh, inaugurated by the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the 18th of July, will be defini tively opened to the public on the 20th inst. The whole distance from Paris to Strasburgh will then be done in less than twelve hours. M. PRoUDHON is making quite a little fortune by his new book, the first edition of which was entirely exhausted on the two first days of sale. It is said that, workmen are busy in removing the monument erected to the memory of the unfortunate Duke D'ENGRIEN in the Castle of Vincennes. The funeral ceremony of the late Count DOaSAY took place on Friday at Chambourcy, near St. Ger main. Amongst the persons assembled to perform the last rights for the deceased were Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, Count Bouffet de Montauban, Count de Latour du Pin, the Marquis du Prat, M. Emile de Girardin, M. Clesinger, the sculptor, M. Charles Laffitte, M. Bixio, M. Alexander Dumas, jun., and Mr. Hughes Ball, and several other English gentle men. The Duke de Grammont, brother-in-law of the Count d'Orsay, being confined to his bed by ill ness, Count Alfred de Grammont and the Duke de Lesparrearnephews of the deceased, were the chief mourners. On leaving the church, the body was conveyed to a tomb in the form of a pyramid, built under the direction of the Count himself, and in which -he had signified his desire that his remains should be placed, near those of a person to whom he was tenderly attached. No funeral oration was pro nounced over the body, but the emotion of the persons present was great, and the sadness of the scene was increased by the appearance of the Duchess de Gram mont, sister of the deceased, kneeling at his tomb, every effort to induce her to abstain from being pre sent having been made in vain. The Bulletin de Paris says—" When the news of the death,of Count D'ORsAY was communicated to the PRINCE PRESIDENT, be exclaimed that he had lost his best friend." The same journal informs us that the large model of the statue of NAPOLEON, which Count D'ORSAY was making from the small one exe cuted by MoRTIMER, and which was seen at the Lon don Exhibition, was nearly terminated at the time of his death, and that M. CLESINGER was formally charged by him to terminate the marble statute of the es-King JEROME. The obsequies of ToNY JoiIANNOT also took place on Friday. MM. H. Monnier, E. Isabey, Diaz, Picot, Roqueplan, Perignon, Decaisne, Laridon , Derval, and other artists, friends of the deceased, were present. The funeral cortege proceeded directly to the cemetery of Montmartre, where M.. COQUEREL, jun., the Protestant clergyman, officiated. The de ceased was born at Offenbach (Hesse Darmstadt), and was remarkable for his scientific information, particularly in botany. He was also an excellent musician. He became first known as a painter by a picture which was in the exhibition of 1831, repre senting " A Woman giving a Soldier Drink." But it is above all by his steel engravings that he acquired a European reputation. His illustrations of the works of Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Moliare ' Dun Quixotte, &c., are universally known. He died in very strait ened, circumstances.• M. OUR!, ex-chef de cabinet of the Marquis DE TURGOT, ex-. Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been nominated Consul-General at Amsterdam.

The winnings of General HAYNAII at the gaming tables have amounted to 260,000 florins, which, it is said, ho intends to g ive to a charitable institution at Vienna. The Father Redemptionists, a species of Jesuits, have been solemnly reestablished at Eggenburg, in the monastry whence they were expelled by the - people in 1848. The Pore's Nuncio at the Austrian Court presided at the ceremony. The Austrian Go vernment has also authorised another branch of the Redemptionists to settle at Nied, in Upper Austria. The above:Government has ordered the expurgation from classical authors of all passages inculcating the love of liberty and hatred of tyrants (!). Excommunications from the Evangelical Church of Germany are now becoming not unfrequent. An other case has occurred at Bernburg, the chief town of the duchy of Anhalt Bernburg. A young man, n a m ed HERZOG, having stood up in church during the ceremony of confirmation, whilst the rest of the congregation knelt, and having refused to partake of the sacrament, has been formally excommunicated. It is declared in the sentence that he cannot contract marriage, and that, after his d e a th, he will be de prived of Christian burial. The sentence was pro nounced by the Evangelical Consistory.

CAPE CF GOOD HOPE. We have receivedthe Zuid Afrikaan of the 31st Alty, bringing news from the Cape two days later than that brought ly the Bosphorus. The intelli gence, however, is lot important. The following are the only items o interest in the paper we have received : The accounts by iunday's post state that another murder has been penetrated by the rebel Hottentots upon two herds, in i‘anleN's Flat. ten miles south of Graham's Town. Itiese men (.s Fingoe and a Hot tentot) were out in tie field with the cattle, when they were ;attacked ad shot by the rebels, who carried off the cattle. An attack had bees made on Waterkloof, by Col. Buller, on the 17ti instant, at a place called the Horse-shoe, where the lamented Colonel Fordyce was killed. The Kafirs fought bravely. The Colonel destroyed a lumber of huts, and the enemy gave way before tie troops ; but the icstant the retreat was sounded they re-appeared in thousands, and commenced a desperate attack on the rear guard, only repelled by the good working of artillery, which Colonel Buller had brought with him. One of the rifles was severely, and two others slightly, wounded. MARLBRO 7 -STREE T—(THIS DAY.)

Letters bast arrived announcing the melancholy loss of an English migrant ship, the Trusty, of Scarbor o oug he h, h av ing on hoed nearly two hundred emigrants, ff t shores of Capt Gaspe, while on a passage to Quebec. The vessel, which was commanded by Mr. Foster, sighted the laid near the Cape on the 22d of July, when her course we shaped to the northward, On the fol lowing morniig a dense fog came on, preventing the crew observiß any distance beyond a cable's length or so of the vessel; and, although orders were given to keep the shtpwell off the land, she eventually struck on a reef of rock within a short distance of the Cape, where she weedily filled and settled down. Against the commandof the master, one of the boats was low ered and Ott away from the vesseL It contained in all, it is supposed, about twenty persons. An attempt was made to gain the shore, but so great was the surf, that the boat was capsized by it be fore it had retched many yards from the wreck, and the whole of thehelpless creatures perished. Among them were the tudermentioned persons:—Thomas Blake, Daniel Saunlerson, John Dickenson, !William Brown, David Hodgion, John Atkinson, Thomas Shaw, Wm. and Thomas Stellinge Thomas Winteringham, Stephen Bullock, Martha Tayfer, Wright Bankee, Robert Yates, Frank Francis, and Thomas Burton. Fur eight hours the position of those on the wreck was one of great peril; the sea was sweeping over her decks, and. it was expected every moment she would go to pieces. Soon atter day had broken a schooner bore down to the spot, and, with the aid of the crews of two other vessels that came up, the whole that were clinging to, the wreck were taken tiff in safety. Their lugs age, however, was lost, for in a tew days the vessel broke up, and was a ' total wreck. The emigrants have since been forwarded to Quebec. DESTRUCTION OF TWO MILLS. Yesterday morning one of the most extensive fires that has occurred near London for a considerable time past broke out shortly before four o'clocok, in the pre mises of Mr. Edward Bell, known as the Tottenham mills, situate on an island surrounded by the river Lee, near the Tottenham station of the Eastern Counties Railway. ardmel The building in which the disaster or i gina te d wa s mill; it was between 130 feet stood on the south side of the trivertermed d SLO theeefe bank.oil n crushingg. rr Ih te lower p o rtion of this properly was fitted up with moat costly machinery for press ing the various seeds used in the manufacture of oils, adjoining which were the oil stores, where several hundred tons' weight of oil were deposited, and the upper story was used as the seed stores, in which a vast a mount of seeds were piled away. This immense stack of buildings was separated from a still larger one, termed the flour mill and corn stores, by a space of ground not more than eighteen feet wide; whilst sundry o th er buildings—such as the malting-house, barer, offices, and private dwellings—stood within a few yards of the two mills before alluded to. From the fact of the different structures being detached, it was at first anti cipated that one mill only, and that in which the fire began, would have been destroyed; but unfortunately such was not the case, and even as late as seven o'clock fast evening the fire was far from being extinguished, and many thousand pounds' worth of property by that hour had been reduced to ashes. The premises consumed may be thus enumerated : The oil mill and stores of oil, seeds, &c., totally de stroyed; the flour mill burnt down, and its contents all but consumed; the counting-houses aed offices gutted; one part of some of the private dwellings destroyed; the old malt -house burnt-out. The stabling, engine, and some outbuildings are fortunately saved. Mr. Beil was partially insured in the Norwich "Union, Imperial, and Scottish Union fire-offices. l it eu i n gs belonged to the Neve River Company, and is un known whether they are insured or no t. About fifty families will be thro wn ou t of employment ,by this melancholy disaster. PORTLAND BREAR.WATER.—The staging 15 now a d vance d u pwards of 2,500 feet from the orig inal s h or e li ne ; everything is pro gressing favourably. HER M A JESTY 3 2. m HEATRE.—Her Serene High ness the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenbonrg , accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince and her Royal Highness the Princess h ono ured the performances at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening with her presence. The Royal party and suite occupied her Majesty's box. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals also honouring the theatre with their prcseueu on this occasion were the followings The Duke and Duchess of Leinster, the baroness Brunnovi and Mdlle. de Brunnow, the Countess of Harrington and Lady Jane St. Maur Stanhope, the Right Hon. the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Countess of Glengall and Lady Margaret Butler, Lord Ward and party, the Viscount Maidstone, the terbay, Lady Prescott and party, the Hon.

Mitchell, Mr. Paul, Mr. C. Heneage, Mrs. Lennard and . party, &c. Atoong the many visitors of note who have fa voured this town with their residence lately (says the Hyde Correspondent of the Portsmouth Tunes and Naval Gazette, of Saturday) we have not seen announced the names of Herr and Madame Brandt, the distinguishid artistes of the mu sical world, who have been making the tour of this beautiful island as a short respite from the fatigue of a metropolitan season which has drawn unusually largely upon their highly gifted talents and exertions. The front of their temporary residence (59, Union-street, Hyde), has daily and nightly been thronged with the fashionable promenaders of this locale, whose steps have been involuntarily arrested, en pas sant, by the sweet and melodious warblings of these eminent and distingue vocalists. HER. MAJESTY'S CRUISE.—The Royal intention of putting to sea, on a trip to Antwerp, was abandoned on Saturday, owing to very foul weather, half a gale having been blowing the whole of the day. Yesterday (Sun da y) the weather was rather worse than better, a strong wi n d being accompanied by squall:l of rain. The attendant squa dron remained in Cowes Roads, and would move up in two divisions (as before) off Oiborne, last evening, if the weather moderated, in order that the Queen might make he rliest start this morning, if the elements were fa vourable. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—InfOrMatkII bas been re ceived at Bristol of a frightful accident which occurred on Friday afternoon at Llanyattoch, Monmouthshire. by which, we regret to say, several lives have been sacrificed. It ap pears that in the vicinity of ibis village are several lar g e limestone quarries, on which a great number of men are em ployed. On Friday, from some hitherto unexplained cause, the side of oue of these quarries gave way, about 61,000 tone were detached, and two w irortunate men, if not several more, are known to be buried beneath the fallen mass. The whole of the labourers eagagEal at the several quarries, as soon as this fearful accident was made known, at once hastened to the spot with a view of extricating the bodies of th, pax men from the superincumbent mass; mense quantity of rock fallen that it 13 expected some days will elapse Pgcre they can In reached. 25 to 27 Aberdeen 100/. paid' Amb., Not., Bost. & E.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1.000 American and , 1 800 Egyptian were taken on speculation. The market closed steadily, at previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 1,600 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d.; and 300 Surat, at 34d. to aid. per lb.—Railway Shares were de pressed at lower rates. Wheat in Mark lane has risen 2a. to 3s. per quarter to-day. The American advices by the steamer Asia are satisfactory in reference to trade. There was a larger supply of bills on the market at the pre vious rates, and less specie was being shipped. The total from New York this year to the 24th ult. was 14,895,000 dollars. Last year to the same date about 24,000,000 dollars had been exported. An estimate is made that the cod and mackerel fisheries employed 138,000 tons of United States shipping last year, nearly as much as in the whale fishery, and within the last two years the increase has been very quiet. Notwithstanding this large tonnage, and the exient of the annual catch, the United States import largely from the British North American colonies. I❑ 1851 the vain is stated to have been 781,470 dollars, - and this is adduced as a proof that the fishermen of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are not deprived of their markets. In reality, however, it is no proof, for they would probably sell five or ten times as much if their neighbours did not encroach. The San Francisco news is good. The markets were improving, and prices generally on the increase. In the month of June 5,343,000 dollars had been exported, being the largest amount ever shipped in one month ' since the gold fields were discovered. The city of So nata' has been destroyed by fire, and the loss would be most severe. At Amsterdam, on the 7th instant, Dutch Stock was rather feebler, but closed better, the Two-and•a-Half per Cents. being 631. Foreign Stocks were dull. The railway, meetings announced are the following:— Ambergate—Aug. 27, at Grantham. Bristol and Exeter—Aug. 26, at Bristol. Buckinghamshire—Aug. 13, at Euston-square. Cork and Bandon.
