Mr. CoviNGT/Ast attended a meeting in the morning at the Hanover-square Rooms, at which he went over most of the topics alluded to in his speech on Saturday l ast, which wa s reported in The Sun of Monday. Sir C. Aldis took the chair, and the room was tolerably filled with ladies and gentlemen, wo received Mr. Con. i ng h am very warmly. He expresse h d himself in favour of Lord Palmerston's foreign policy as opposed to the po li c y of Lord Malmesbury, of the admission of Jews to Parliament, of the Anglo-American alliance, and of the abolition of church-ra,es. An ELECTOR asked him if he was ready to vote for the abolition of the law of primogeniture and the law of e ntail?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CONINGHAM—The first question is, in effect, this —am I preared to abolish the House of Lords?— (" That's it, " " Why not?" &c.) lam ready to redress practically the evils of tue law of entail by Act of Par liament, but it would be perfectly absurd for me to say I am ready to rota for that which would be, in s ffec`, great social revolution.—(o , .! oh!) I cannot . , in the present state of feeling and experience on this point, promise to agitate the question if returned to Parlia ment. The usual resolution of support was passed almost unanimously, and the meeting separated; but Mr. Co ninghans subsequently addressed the electors sod non electors from a window in Clare-street, and at the Union Tavern, Queen-street. THE _______COMl T)o l%. TUES. DAY - - TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. Ce , Alemen, Yes ! "Truth will out ;" and whenever vnen engaged in a political co - :test stoop, falsely, to asperse the character of their opponents, it must he from a coned usness of their sown weakness and in antici pat•iin of defeat The,partizans of the two Whig Candidates have issued a bill in which they have resorted to this unmanly course, in order to-damage me in your estimation. They mean murder, but they may find it suicide. They have accu-ed me of heir; a Socialist or Commnnist. and have the h trdihood to stet as it they, and not myself, were the proper exponents of my real sentiments. This accusation is false. Although a strennuons advocate for un restricted freedom of discussion, I am a determined opponent to the system of Communism. The passages quoted by my adversaries do not em body my opinions, but those only of Robert Owen, and they are extracted, almost in his own words, from a Summary of his Social System. I had carefully guarded against any possible misconception on the subject by stating that I was about to trace the history of the various communistic theories "from the UTOPIA of Sir Thomas More to that of the founder (Robert Owen) of the Infant and Factory School system, and the originator of the short-time move ment ; and that although I differed in toto from Many of the opinions to which he had given public expression, especially those advanced at a later period of his career, yet at the same time I felt bound to express my sincere respect for the unflagging zeal Which he had displayed as a ' practical' social Reformer." . . Who are these men who have set themselves up as dictators to their fellow-electors, and degraded Westminster —once the beacon to all true Reformers in every part of the kingdom —notoriously into a mere pocket-borough ; and who, in default of other weapons of attack, have resorted to vile calumy ?

A numerous meeting of the supporters of Mr. William A. Wilkinson, the new candidate, was held last night in the Victoria Theatre. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Sewell. The CHAlnstiN said that sixteen persons in the be rough were of opinion th at t h ey s h ould re-elect their former representatives; on the other hand, a great pro portion of the electors being determined to have a new Member—(Cheers)—a requisition had been presented- to Mr. Harvey, but he was hu nted opt of the representa tion, and almo s t hunted to „9enih , —(Elear, hear.) They had no w se l ecte d Mr. ~,,m . he begged to i n t,. r• iuson as their candidate , and .outiee hits to the notice of the meet- ' ire.--(Cheers.) Mr • - W ILYINBON came forward to address t he meet ing, and was received with loud cheers. He said that seventy-two hours ago he had no notion whatever of 000 uNing • the position of a candidate. He had ima gined that when Mr. Harvey started he was pursuing a hopeless course, and that the late Members were almost certain of being returned. From that state of feeling he had been roused on Friday evening by the gentle men Who waited upon him on the resignation of Mr. Harvey, tor the purpose of inducing him to come for ward as a can iciate. Those gen;lemen had shown him, and their statements were borne out by all sub sequent investigation, that a large number of the inhabitants of the borough were dissatisfied with the present state of the representation.—(Hear, hear.) On that ground, and that ground only, he appeared before them; because he confessed that his opinions were nearly identical with those of the gentlemen who lately represented them.—(Cheers.) When he found there was a large majority in the borough who were -inclined to support Mr. Harvey if he could bear the brunt of the greatest, he (Hr. Wilkinson) did not think it unbecoming on his part to offer himself as a candidate to the electors for the purpose of supplying the want under which they labonred.—(Cheers.) There might be a hundred rea sons why they should think that they were not pro perly represented by the late Members, but it was not necessary for him to refer to them;: it was enough for him to know that there was a desire entertained by a number of the electors that a new Member should be selected.—(hear, hear.) He did not wholly rely upon the stathments ct the gentlemen who called upon him, .and who he had never seen before, but he had got his friends to apply for information in the highest quarter, and the naiversal answer was, that dissatisfaction exists vrith the present state f the representation, that he should g o on, and that he would win the battle.—(Cheers.) He perceived that a letter from Mr. Cobden had been published, containing an opinion favourable to the late Members, but an opinion was generally founded on the case that was put to the party whose opinion was required —(Rear, hear) —and he watt sure if he nad said to Mr. Cobden, here are two Members representing a large constituency, and for cer tain reasons a large portion of the constituency is dis satisfied with them, have:l a right to put myself forward to support the interests of the dissatisfied parties, that Mr. Cobden would have said that is the business of the electors, and not my business.—(Cheers.) If they put in a man that will vote as well as the ethers, let them satisfy themselves.—(Cheers) He would remind them that it was a dangerous thing to have the borough re presented by two Liberal Members with whom a great number of the inhabitants of the borough were not satis fied.—(Hear, hear.) Was there not danger, under such circumstances, that a Tory might get in. —(Hear, hear.) Whatever might be his deficiencies, he nad made some of the sujec's most interesting to the electors his particular study.—(Cheers.) .114 had as much know ledge of the ptinciples of political iconomy, and of go vernment in general as either of the other candidates, and he was as well qualified 50 represent such consti tuents as he saw before him.—(Hear, hear.) He appeared before them at the eleventh hohr to afford them an opportunity of returning a new member; it was a time when very few candidates would have a chance of suc cess, and-he believed he should have little chance of suc cess were it not for the exertions of the gentlemen who had supported Mr. Harvey.—(Cheers.) He must ex press hit regret at the course that had been pursued in reference to that gentleman by the opposite side.— (Hear, hear.) He did not think it was fair or manly to pursue a public opponent with private slander.— (Cheers.) If a similar attempt were made against him he should laugh it to scorn.---(Cheers.) He was con scious that he was there in the discharge of his duty, and he would not succumb to any one: Mr. GILES moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting had heard Mr. Wilkinson's address with satis faction, and pledged themselves to use their endeavours to secure his return at the forthcoming election. — (Cheers.) The opponents of Mr. Harvey had not only attacked him, but they could not let tree wife alone; be had been hunted d own, an d hi s opponen ts had obtained a victory. Mr. REDFERN seconded the resolution. Mr. ROREETION, after making various ineffectual efforts to address the meeting, moved, as an amendment , that the maso ns were insufficie given for - uatroducing a new candidate Mr. MOORt addnaned the meeting t Wilkinson.

MIDDLESEX, Last evening a meeting of the electors of the county of Middlesex was held at the Albion Hall, Albion•road, Hammersmith. Mr. Bowling occupied the chair, and among the gen tlemen on the platform were Lord Rubert Grosvenor, Mr. B. Osborne, and others. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating that their object in meeting was to take into considera tion whether the electors of Middlesex would go back to the days of despotism, or maintain the present state of things, He considered the public to be deeply indebted to Lord Robert Grosvenor for the repeal of the window tax.—(Hear, hear.) It was now the duty of the electors more than ever to see that the Liberal cause should not be impaired. Than Mr. Osborne there was not a more liberal Member in the House of Commons, and it was was therefore most desirable that undivided support should be given to the Noble Lord and Mr. Osborne. No man who was a tried friend to progress would at tempt to divide the Liberal interest; and he trusted that not only in the county of Middlesex, but throughout the country, all would be united at the ensuing election to support those men who would support the measures that tended most to advance the great cause of reform. The chairman LordlineSthEennr introducedGnosvzNoit,on rising the candidates. to address the meeting, was loudly cheered: He said that after thirty years' political life he could not say that be had any new principles to enunciate—(Hear, hear)—but he was de sirous of ascertaining what were the local interests of each and every district of the county which he for the third time sought to represent.—(Hear, hear.) There was not a better district for him to commence in than the Hammersmith polling district, where there were a great number of registered electors, and a still greater ' , umber of non electors, the latter of whom he trusted ere long to see placed in a parallel position with those who at present held a superior position. There were rumours of a contest, but up to the present time he had all l er t e i msehsoutlod makebe a co a n t a ot see p se p tn e o a tr r h a ne n o c it n e hdei among vdausa ; h o i bs s tu th e a ol hp s e t y t t t ha ue etr n ts.—( Hear, hear.) He had felt it to be his duty to give the new Ministry s upport for a time, that an appeal should not be made at an early period to the country, but he would not consent to the third reading of that absurd measure the Militia Bill.—(Cheers.) 'rho various changes of the present Administration reminded him of the popular novel " Japhet in Search of a Father," and he should not be surprised to find a new production from the pen of the Chancellor of the Exch. , goer, imitating this title, under the designation of .‘ A Minister in Search of a Policy.", He would have preferred seeing on the banner of the present party revision of national expenditure.— (Hear, hear.) His opinion was that all import duties that tended to encourage the smuggler ought to be at once reduced. His Lordship then urged the necessity for a total abolition of the Excise law, the deficiency arising from which might be met by a well-regulated system of direct taxation.—(Hear.) The people were now prepared for an extension of the elective franchise, and the absurdity of a property qualification for members of Parliament should be abolished.—(Cheers.) Mr. OssonNE then rose, and was well received. He was there to vindicate his past conduct and votes. He was proud of having been returned by the middle and working classes, and democracy. He had entered Par liament as a friend of civil and religious liberty, and had advocated free trade; and he would appeal to the proceedings in Parliament how far he had carried out his professions.—(Hear, hear.) The present Ministry, since they got into office, bad abandoned protectiose and the poor man was promised a big loaf because the Dsebyites wanted the " little fishes" of office for themselves. — (Cheers.) He had voted against the Ecclesiastical Tides Bill because be considered that the Roman Ca tholics should have civil and religious liberty as well as themselves. The Bill had only led to riots, and gutting the houses of the Roman Catholics at Stockport. He had not voted fur the Meynooth grant, but had for Mr. Ward's amendment. .. .. At the conclusion of a lengthy and eloquent speech the flop. Gentleman was loudly cheered, and a Tote of thanks terminated the proceedings. TOWER HAMLETS. A meeting of electors of the district of St. George's was held last night at the St. Katherine's Dock Hotel, to hear a statement of their political principles from Mr. G. Thompson and Mr. Ayrton. The chair was occu pied by Mr. P. Crellin. Mr. THoMPsoN, in the course of his speech, observed that the contest had been made to turn, not upon the merits of the political principles of himself and Mr. Ayr ton, but upon false and scandalous charges which had been bren.lht against him. Those charges had emanated chiefly from a journal in the interest of the brewers and licensed viotuallera, which had falsely stated that he had introdaced Mr. Ayrton to the borough, and which had re sorted to the basest means to secure the return of its own nominee, Mr. Butler.—(Cherre.) Fur more than two mouths the columns of that paper bad teemed with leading articles and communications reeking with libel, misrepresentation, and malignant falsehood, such as he bad never seen &veiled, save in the most depraved of Transatlantic pipers. After some further ()beer• vations with reference to the journal in question, Mr. Thompson proceeded so state, that Mr. Butler aspired to represent a constituency as decidedly dissenting as any in the country, and yet three days after the tri umphant election of 1847 that gentleman wrote a letter to an intimate friend, in which he Complained that his party—the party of General Fax.—had been shamefully beaten, a n d t h at th e y must recover themselv es b y the defeat of Mr. Osborne fur Middlesex. The letter con cluded with th ese e mphatic words us show the Di ssen ters that we Churchme n are, and let Row deter- mined to retriev e th e disgrace of last week."

Mr. Thomps with a brief exposition of his politic al prin ciples , ith cited considerable applause. _ _ Mr. AYRTON thin - at some length also addressed the assembly. Mr. 1 -3 AnriELL moved, and Dr. EA RLE seconded a re solution, pledging the meeting to support Mr. Thomp son at the election. Mr. BONSER moved, and Mr. I.Tistwity seconded, a similar resolution with respect to Mr. Ayrton, and the proceedings terminated. There are still five candidates in the field for the re presentation of this numerous constituency, viz., Sir W. Clay and Mr. G. Thompson, the old Members, and Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Butler, and Mr. W.

Should a more equitable apportionment be sanctioned by the new Parliament, so as to remove the deep sense of injustice that induces many persons to evade the impost, we have no doubt that the flood will flow very rapidly in the right direction. The Post-office still flourishes, thanks to the care and attention of ROWLAND HILL and the judicious improvements introduced under his auspices. The increase on the year is no less than 150,0001., and that notwithstanding the additional facilities that are almost daily brought into operation. There is a falling off on the quarter of 10,0001., but we must recollect that the preceding period was that in which the opening of the Exhibition occurred, and that the extraordinary correspondence thereby occa sioned led to a very considerable augmentation of this branch of the revenue. In the Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of 70,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001, and on Miscel• laneous of 140,6161. on the year, and 110,948/. on the quarter. Of the extraordinary items, we find that there is, under the head of Imprest and other Moneys, a decrease of 60,392/., but an improvement of 72 9181. on the quarter; while the Repayment of Advances were so much more punctually rendered as to exhibit an increase of 148,640/. on the year, and of 93,243/. on the quarter. On the whole, the results are very decisive as to the benefits of free trade, affording the greatest encouragement to a further advance in the same direction. The General Election may be said to have at length fairly commenced. This day not merely thirty-three, but actually fifty .one, places are opened to candidates for their nomination. Several of these places, moreover, are of peculiar and, some of them of extraordinary import a nce. Conspicuou s , of course,, amongst these constituencies are the metropolitan, and at the head of these is, of course, the con stituency of the city of London. By the proceed ings taking place this afternoon in the Guildhall of the capital the majority of the Liberal electors throughout the country will in a great measure be influenced. Of the happy result of these proceedings to the cause of reform there can be no sort of doubt whatever. Nevertheless, we cannot but fear that, with all their recent activity, the free trade possessors of the franchise have not sufficiently well reflected upon the importance of the result of the present elections to the interests of the nation at large both in the mother country and in her vast colonial possessions. We speak here in reference not only to the electors of the metropolis, but to the whole body of electors throughout the United Kingdom. With a considerable proportion of the multitude we conceive that it has not been borne clearly enough in mind that the consequences of the present struggle are likely to affect for good or evil the general institutions of Great Britain, not only for a while, but through a protracted futurity, not merely in reference to the existing, but in regard to many future generations. Such, no doubt, must invariably be the case, more or less assuredly, upon every similar occasion—but never has it been more so than at the present moment when the question submitted to the country is extended from the triumph of either Whigs or Tories to the victory of Reform or o f Retrogression. That, in fact, as we have before now intimated, is the problem remaining to be solved by the community through the medium of the new Parliament. Unfortunately for the Liberal interest, the antagonists of reform possess the advantage always accruing to those who chance to be in office at the period of a dissolution. Unfortunately we say, because it would be absurd to doubt that the circumstance of Lord DERBY being at the head of the Government at this juncture, will mate rially improve the position of his supporters on pre senting themselves to the population. Inasmuch as the opponents of the popular interests are in power at this moment, it is indisputable, therefore, that they possess an advantage over the Reformers generally, but more especially over the adherents of the late Administration. Yet, in spite of this, we feel not less firmly assured of the ulterior success of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Whatever doubts may be entertained upon this head will at any rate, we rejoice to think, be by no means of long continuance. Within a com paratively brief interval the uncertainty of affairs will be definitively removed. It will then be per ceived whether the people of these islands are prepared to forego the blessings of the course opened to them by the p r i nc i pa l s tatesmen of Engla n d, w h o b y t h e i r genius and their patriotism have, during the last quarter of a century, guided the operations of the British Government. Foremost among these distinguished Adminis trators, b o th in genius and in patriotism, without one moment's doubt, the Right Honuursble Baronet, who has presented himself to the electors of Carlisle in his capacity as one of the most illustrious of the Liberal candidates. Sir JAMES G RAHAM , by his many great Parliamentary achievements during the interval above specified, has earned for himself nut merely the respect of all earnest Reformers, but has entitled himself in a peculiar degree also to look for their gratitude and their ad miration, in s name has appeared conspicuously upon all those memorable occasions where improvements have been introduced into the machinery of the Constitution. In 1827 he helped to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts —thereby conducing in a re markable manner to the extension of freedom to the municipalities. In 1829—as he .has nobly and con sistently done within the last three years—he took up a distinguished position, in defiance of very extraor dinary obloquy, in defence of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. In 1831 he assisted in carrying out those large measures of reform which were advocated at that time in the Upper House by Earl GREY, and in the Lower House by Lord JOHN Russxess And in 1835 be again did good service to the country by advancing anew the cause of munici pal„ improvement. In 1842 he commenced with Sir -"()BEET PEEL those admirably graduated and com prehensive changes in the tariff, which in 1846 were consummated by the crowning victory of the Free Trad e principles. In short, there has been scarcely a tingle re f orm o f any importance what soever, w hi ch has ,_ not received during the last five-and-tw en t y years the direct a n d energetic support of th e Ri g h t Hon. Bar onet. Upon his shoulders, more over , h as fallen the man tle of that illustrious statesman, who immeasur ably more than Weeroee has entitled himself to be re men% ered as the Great Sir ROBERT. As the acknow ledged a rc e;chieftain of the a ssoc i ates of Sir ROBERT I s it is obvious that Sir JAMES GRAHAM would comm and the attenti on o f hi s f e ll ow - coun trymen. But, a d ded to the credit redounding to him as the com panion and political successor of the departed statesman are those honourable circumstances re flecting glOry upon himself personally—those cir cumstasses "" which it has afforded us such peculiar s i u s t-s:acti ma to enumerate. At one period it was con ssaered that Sir JAMES GRAHAM had acted treason ably to the Reformers, in taking office under Sir 0 „ 11--a aT, and identifying himself with the great party of th e C onse rvatives. Viewing events with the calmness of a retrospective scrutiny, it is impos sible at this hour to regret the course pursued on the occasion referred to by the Right Hon. Baronet the late Member f or Ripon, and now a candidate for the representation of Carlisle. It enabled him to aid more effectually than at any previous time in intro ducing a seri es o f enormous improvements in the Constitution. Those improvements conducted him back by a natural path to a fellowship with his former (Liberal) associates. With them he is flow more than ever identified—and Carlisle will do honour to itself by paying that tribute to hi s services in the cause of reform which must to him be, at this crisis, of all the most acceptable — ' lamel y , by electing him with an overwhelm ing majority as their representative. To morrow is fixed at Carlisle, as well as at fifty-eight o ther places, as the day of Gladly s h ou ld we announce that the Right Hon. Baronet bad been returned without opposition in company with the other Liberal candidate, as we have the gratification of assnouncing this evening that a few hours since Messrs'.

The Revenue retu rns f or the financial year and quarter ending the sth July instant, are of a very satisfactory character, affording the most conclusive evidence of the general welfare and prosperity. It is ' true that there ie a falling off in the ordinary sources o f revenue, both on the year and quarter, but these are immediately expl a i ned by the reductions that have already taken place in the stamp duties and the light and air, w hil e the alterations in those on sugar and timber h ave produced no perceptible effect,taxes on e e at least have not led to any diminution in t h e Customs' receipts. We may reasonably anticipate, too that these favourable indications will be continued for some time. Thanks to the gold discoveries in California and Australio, we have at length a circu lating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies 0f the country. The i n d ustrial machine is therefore continued in motion. Men able and willing to work are tolerably certain of obtaining employment at fair n wages , an d being th roug h i t enabled to provide for them ad familie s th e h umble comforts which should always always be within th e i r reach. And as, after all, the working man is th e c hi ef contributor to the n ational exchequer, whenever he i s we ll off and in constant remunerative occ u p at i on, the effects become speedily perceptible in the i ncreased produce of the na tional taxation. 32 ra6r,d,7uo N ieLs ii h a l re nearlyad y _____ and on the latter of 1,83,9461., and this In the Customs we find that there is an notwithstandingimprove ment' the reductions on the sugar and tina supplied referred to . the on the year and quarter —on the former of There has also been a smaller quantity of corn im ported, markets with ported, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last the home produce. The improvement on the other items is, therefore, the more remarkable, and a new illustration is afforded of the almost miraculous elas ticity of the national resources. In the Excise there is a diminution on the year of 13 2051., but an increase on the quarter of 23,7061. The former m ay partly be accounted for by the fact that large arrears of hop duties were collected in the former year which could not fairly be considered as parts of the ordinary annual revenue. There is, however, nothing to abate the gratification which arises at the improvement on the quarter, of what has been most justly termed " the index to the prosperity of the working classes,"—an improvement the more remarkable when we consider that the cor responding quarter of last year included the two first months of the Exhibition, and the month preceding that event, when the greatest activity was required for the necessary preparations. In Stamps there has been a decrease on the year of 37,3891., but an increase on the quarter of 101,334/. It must be borne in mind that after the Stamp Act of 1850 received the Royal assent, the several distri• butors suffered their stocks to run very low in order to take full advantage of the remission. The conse quence was that the quarters ending the 10th October, 1850, and the sth January, 1851, were exceedingly productive. There must have been great activity in trade and commerce to account fur the very large improvement on the last quarter. In the Assessed Taxes there is of course a large falling off on both periods. It was estimated that the substitution of the house-duty fur the window tax would occasion a loss to the revenue of two thirds of the receipts, or, in round numbers, about 1,200,000/. This estimate proved more than usually accurate, as we find the falling off on the year to be 1,172,9791., while that on the quarter—which, how ever, in this instance, m ay be regarded as the half year—is 541,5241. It will thus be seen that the compensatin g pri nc iple is already in operation, and we have no doubt that when the houses now building are assessed to the duty, the loss will be very consi siderably reduced, In the Property -tax, there is an improvement on the year of 10,4851. This is the more satisfactory, as for some time past we have bad to notice A steady JULY 11359. Oxford, and Lord DUDLEY STUART and Sir B. HALL for Marylebone. 'loose bix elections we regard as a propitious augury for the Liberal partp—the news reaching us early on the first day of nomi nation. If such, however, cannot be the equally satisfactory result of the proceedings to-morrow at Carli•le, at any rate the Liberal electors there may redeem their position by returning S:r JAMES GRAHAM on the polling day by a majority worthy of a candidate so disting u i s h e d. R a pidly as the days speed by, we shall now have to notify the results of the various elections throughout the country—elections which, with every moment's maturer reflection, we regard as more and more likely to turn out advantageously to the cause of the Reformers. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Tne Corsaire has received a notification to the fol lowing effect :—" The Minister of Police, considering that Article 32 of the organic law on the press of February 17, 1852, says—' After one condemnation for contravention or offence against the laws on the press, of the responsible editor of a journal, the Go vernment has the power, during the two months fol lowing that condemnation, to declare either its tem porary suspension or suppression'—Decrees, that the publication of the Corsaire is suspended for two months from the 4th instant." The Journal des De bats, after giving the above decree, says—" We are requested to state that the Corsaire will resume its publication as soon as the two months of suspension nave expirt-d." The borsaire is a Legitimist journal, somewhat pungent in style. It is at pr esen t un d er prosecution, at the suit of M. DE LA GUERONIERE, the editor 01 the Government organ, the Pays, for libel. The law for the definitive settlement of the budget of 1848, lately adopted by the Legislative Body and 6anctioned by the Senate, is promulgated in the Moniteur of yesterday morning. Tae French fleet, which left Algiers on the 24th ult., was on the following dsy off Palma. On its passage it fell in with the English squadron under Admiral DTJNDAS, consisting of seven sail of the line and six frigates. A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th. Some of the journals state that the Prince DE LA MOSILOWA has asked for permission to serve in the army of Africa, and that his request has been ac oeded to. The Municipal Council at its last sitting had to deliberate on the re-organization of the bands of the National Guards. Although reduced to five corps. the bands will cost 18 , 000 r. a year more than when there were twelve legions on foot. This increase has been consented to in order to encourage the art and give assistance to artistes._ The Municipal Council of Toulon has just voted an address of thanks to the PRESIDENT of the Re public for the solicitude which be has displayed in securing to that town a railway communication with Marseilles. The Chamber of Commerce has also voted an address of a similar character ; and, in addition, requests the Pntscs to visit Toulon during bis approaching tour in the South of France. When the news reached Cherbuurg that the Legis lative Body had adopted the Bill for forming a rail way to that town, a great n um b er o f houses, and the ships in the port, displayed the national flag in token of rejoicing ; and at the night there was a general il lumination, dancing, and the firing of guns. Toe Municipal Council in its last sitting voted an address of thanks to the PRINC E PRESIDENT of the Republic, and it resolved that a bronze statue of the Emperor NAPOLEON should be erected on the Qaai Napoleon. The Journal des Debats states that forty-six Bishops out of the eighty-one in France have signi fied their approb,tion of the letter written some snort time since by the Bishop of ORLEANS, in favour of em• ploying the Greek and Latin classics as hand-books in education. "It may be remembered," says the Journal de Rouen, that, on June 6, th e agents of the State took possession of the Chateau d'Eu and its dependencies, and, in consequeLce, that the sale of the furniture which was to take place the next day was prevented. We understand at present that the opposition then made to the sale has been removed, and that the fur niture will be sold by auction towards the end of the month." The accounts from the different manufacturing districts are pretty good. A fair amount of busi ness in the different branches of silk, wool, and cot ton is said to be doing. The harvest promises well, although there are rumours of injury having been done to the wheat by the late long-continued rains, which may be exaperated. The vine is reported in good condition, and there is, ou the whole, promise of an abundant year. The Marseilles journals state that for some days past, a vast number of funny fish, estimated at be tween four and five thousand, have been off that coast. The fishermen immediately united, and caught between 500 and 600 a day. The average weight of each fish was found to be between 30 and 401bs. The Bourse was firm, with not much business doing.

The Second Chamber of the states of He sse Darmstadt voted the GRAND DUKF, in the sitting of the 30th ult., a civil hat of 581,000 thalers (about 87,0001) Immediately afterwards a decree was pre sented proroguing the Chamber for an indefinite period.
