Mr. MACAULAY had better look to his laurels For M. VlcTou HUGO has determined to show the world, in earnest, what are the true requirements of an historian 1 A volume has recently been published demonstrating this fact in a manner somewhat re markable. It must be borne in mind that the qualifi cations of the latter author for the elevated task upon which be has adventured are, to say the least of them, rather peculiar. Society has long since learnt in a way that cannot very readily be forgotten, that M. VICTOR HUGO possesses powers in a literary capacity of an uncommon and, in some particulars, of an ex traordinary character. Those powers he has humanely employed before no W, apparently, it would seem, w i th the systematic intention of corrupting the morals of his reader through the seductive medium of his con tributions to imaginative literature. Romances, a t any rate, have proceeded from his pen such as have been ingeniously calculated to insinuate under the most alluring guise the most subtle dogmas of licen tiousness. Encouraged by his undoubted success in this refined and admirable enterprise, be has now magnanimously resolved to raise his voice in the tones of an annalist, and to evidence by example the nature of those qualities which, of all,are the most desirable in the writings of a political philosopher. Take his last work* as an illustration. In this sedate and stately compo sition, M. VICTOR HuGo gives abundant testimony of his skill in assuming at once that dignifiEd style and that impassable temper which everybody know s are among the more conspicuous qualities of the higher order of historians. Scurrility, as we shall show by abundant extracts, is carefully eschewed by him upon all occasions. Of empty abuse be knows, of course, absolutely nothing. Billingsgate, supposin g hi m ever to have heard of it, is, more than any other de partment of rhetoric (!), the object of his peculiar ab horrence. O'ColaztELL used to "cell names," and some of them rather hard ones too—but of these things M. VICTOR HUGO is happily in a state of Ar cadian ignorance. His classic taste, his exquisite de licacy, his judgment ever in equilibrium, his suavity beyond the reach of agitation—unite in con stituting his latest effusion a perfect model in all those loftier graces which mankind he' , been accustomed to regard as essential to the responsible in. tellect of the annalist. Talc., for example, the eight books of this new history, whi c h may be regarded as a supplement to the narrative of Three Revolutions. The hero of the story, it , must be premised, by the I " Napoleon le Petit." L:v. viii.

R .fi r ,,,,, __ THE SUNS way, is not, as might be conjectured, QUISIMODO but the Chief Magistrate of the French D emocracy. The state which is therein submitted to criticism is not, by the way, as might be supposed by the un wary, that presided over by SAWNEY BEAN, the Scottish gentleman of peculiar tastes, who used to salt the legs and arms of the more plump travellers he happened to have murdered in the co urse of his amusing depredations. It i s on ly the Government to which is accredited, among other envoys, her Britannic MAJESTY'S Ambassador. But—putting the ideas of SAWNEY BEAN and of QUASIMODO on one side for the sake of argument—let us turn to the contents of the volume lying before us, to see how far we have been accurate in declaring that M. n, Vicro Hugo has appreciated the serenity, the impartiality, and the dignity of the historian. Speaking of the origin of the Government which the refined annalist has here undertaken to weigh in the balance, he—M. VICTOR HUGO—remarks that it was " crime." But he dces not content himself with that one milk-and -water monosyllable—he says it was a crime "containing within itself all crimes" (p. 17). Rather comprehensive, that ! And thereupon he very kindly gives us the entire catalogue, or at any rate a catalogue as complete as any that could possibly be expected under the circumstances — "treachery, perjury, murder, assassination, spoliation, swindling, and robbery." A pretty kettle of fish, with a vengeance ! But M. VICTOR HUGO is not joking—he is writing history. In proof of this we may observe that he goes on almost immediately to state that " the author of this crime is a malefactor of the most depraved and lowest species" (p. 18). He says that the supporters of the new Administration are " the_ comrades of a pirate" (p. 18). He calls them, not statesmen, but " accom plices" (p. 18). He declares that the men who uphold the existing Government are corrupt place hunters—" men who want to be prefects" (p. 22) ; and adds, with that decency which M. VICTOR HuGo alone could evince, that the women who esteem that Government are 4 " *" —we will give the expression in the hestorzan's own eAqulslGe per-- phrase—" women who would pass for maids "! ! ! (p. 22). Turning from the " supporters" to the " supported," from the subordinates to the chieftain, M. VICTOR HUGO then commences an elaborate and dignified portraiture of the Head of the Republican Government. He mentions, with the opprobrium which such monstrous peculiarities richly de serve, the facts that this personage is of the " middle height"—that he is " cold"—that he is " pale"—that he has " the air of a person not quite awake"—that he is " slow in his movements" (p. 27). But M. VICTOR HUGO has not done with him yet—done with him ! But we must on—and nous verrons. He solemnly impeaches him with the treason of a " slight German accent ;" he taxes him with the atrocity of "speaking drawlingly ;" he charges him with being guilty of "a dull eye," and avows that he has the irredeemable infamy of " a thick moustache" (p. 27) ! Warmed into that unrestrained enunciation of truth which is among the noblest prerogatives of the historian, he goes on to observe that the same personage is " puerile, vain, theatrical, vulgar, and common-place" (p. 27). A pleasant list of peculiarities, certainly ! But the annalist is inexhaustible in his epithets upon the same subject. A little further on, and he calls the Chief of the State " a white SOULOUQUE" (p. 28). He not only tells us what he is, but what he is not. He informs us that the Head of the French Government " is not: an idiot" (p. 28)— a piece of intelligence, of course, for which Europe will be sufficiently grateful. He observes with the pleasantry becoming the historian, that this personage " is so peculiarly amiable in his character, that he would have been recognised by PHILLIP 11., smiled upon by HENRY VIII., and embraced by CESAR BORGIA" (p. 28). For his actions, M. VICTOR HUGO has only one word, but that highly-spiced enough,—he says they are "hideous" (p. 29). He continues, with a moderation that LINGARD or TA CITUS might have envied, by observing, that the Chief Magistrate of the French Republic—" does not speak, he lies "—but, as if fearful that this civil remark were not sufficiently civil, or at any rate, sufficiently explicit, adds—" this man lies as other men breathe" (p. 30). That is surely what may he called true dignity in writing—dignity worthy of a great annalist. Beyond the foregoing, however, he hes all sorts of agreeable phrases—all devoted to the same subject, all poured upon the same forehead. M. VICTOR HUGO, in this manner, terms the Leader of the French Democracy " a small man " (p. 31); he says that he hes no " conscience " (p. 31)—he designates him at one moment " a vagabond " (p. 32)—and at another " a toadstool " (p. 32)—and at another " a sparrow-hawk " (p. 33)—and at another " a knave " (p. 40)—and at another " a resident gendarme " (p. 41)—and at another " a man last among men" (p. 41). He talks of the same person age appearing in a box at the opera " gloating in all his ugliness " (p. 33). He rises from this language, so suitable in the mouth of an historian, to the loftiest strain of the most daring aad infatuated blas. phemy ! He says (p. 41, book i., ch. 7), speaking of the existing Government of the French Republic, "were it to last, it must be that there is no GOD in heaven !" So that M. VICTOR lIUGO holds out conditions to the Divinity. Ho protests that unless so and so occur before long, he must deny the existence of the Omniscient ! Almost the same words wel a uttered, as far back as 1793, by the comedian MONVEL, during the height of the first revolutionary madness. How does .A.rasort mention it ? He says ( History of Europe, ch. xiv.), " The comedian MONVEL, in the Church of St. Poch, car ried impiety to its utmost lengths. GOD! if you exist,' said he, avenge your injured name. I bid you defiance. You remain silent—you dare not launch your thunders ; who, after this, will believe in your existence ?' " M. VICTOR HUGO, in 1852, emulates the comedian MONVEL. If the pre sent state of things in Paris last, says he, "it must be that there is no GOD in heaven!" But this blasphemy is anything but isolated—the work before us abounds in impie ties. For example, when talking of the marble statue of the Chief of the State, erected in the market-place by PIETRI, the Prefect of Police, he dares, for the sake of a wretchedly profane pun, to quote (p. 72) the solemn words spoken by the Holy One in Pales tine—"Tu es PIETRI et super hanc pietram cdfficaito e jfi gie meam." He goes even further—be yen. tures upon the most blasphemous comparison ever attempted to be made by mortal, when (pp. 236.237)—" For three years and more, the men of the past, the scribes, the Pharisees, the publicans, the princes of the priests, have crucified in presence of the human race the Christ of nations—the French people. Some have furnished the cross, others the nails, others the hammer. FALLOUX has placed upon its forehead the crown of thorns. MoNTALEMBERT has placed upon its mouth the sponge dipped in gall and vinegar. L o uis BONA.- PARTE ig the wretched soldier who struck his lance into its side, and made it utter its last cry—' -Eli Eli ! Lama Sabachthani " Further than this into the sanctuary of holiness the hoof of the blasphemer could scarcely venture to penetrate. With a shudder we have quoted the passage entire—because we take it tO be the most remarkable testimony that could be adduced of the length s to which M. VICTOR HUGO has allowed himself to be c arr i e d b y h i s most sedate, gn illustrationsifie d labours f those a s n e —Historian ! A his most decent, amndonhais the most lesser di labours there is still an abundance that might be par ticularized. Th e annalist has even not exhausted his epithets applied to the Chief Magistrate of the French Government. Ile designates his power a hideous phantasm and observes of it that, " like the osprey, it takes refuge in the night, and it would die if once seen" (p. 52). He calls the possessor of that power this man with harassed gesture and glassy eye, who walks with distracted air in the midst of the hor rible things which he does, like a sort of sinister som• nambulist" (p. 57). His language is yet more like the serene language of the annalist, whenever he speaks of the supporters of the present Government. He cells them . " imbeciles I" (p. 66). He calls teem "selfish idiots !" (p. . 50 ). He calls them " base wretches !" (p. 64). And this is History ! And M. VICTOR Huck° dreams himself an Historian ! The subject to which our respected correspondent invites the attention of the public in his letter, which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday, is one which de serves very serious consideration. For some time WEDNESDAY after the Registration Courts were first opened, and voters attended, with the zeal of newly-enfranchised men, to substantiate their claims, the unlooked-for annoyances of Lord Jous RUSSELL'S rate-paying clauses especially, and many other littlenesses, created unmeasured displeasure. It was soon believed, and we fear too truly, that the aristocratic Whig Lord had intentionally interposed all possible technicalities, unessential to the merits of the case, in the way of the claiming voter ; that he wished to secure at once the aspect of a Liberal Bill, with the reality of a tolerably Conservative one; and that, between his pocket boroughs and his Registration Courts, he had reined in, pretty tightly, the popular liberty which he seemed to bestow. Since that time the Registration nuisance has worked itself a smoother course, but it has chiefly been by producing one effect adverted to by our correspondent, that of unwilling ness to bear the trouble of attending ; and it is for the most part respectable men of the middle classes and upwards to men of Mr. GROTE'S social standing, who will not submit to what Mr. Low justly terms this "unbearable annoyance." We have ourselves more than once, like Mr. Low, been called upon to meet the most frivolous objections to one vote, and while waiting to do so seen votes struck off in large batches at a time, upon the most trivial grounds. In one case a magis trate and about ten more respectable persons were disfranchised, because the residence was described by the name of the place, which every man, woman, and child in the borough knew, and not by a name re cently put up, of which hardly any one was yet aware. On one occasion the objection to our own vote was, that the objector-general for the borough, a penniless Tory man-of-all-work, bad seen the shutters of the house closed at a time when, like a large part of the neighbourhood, we had eseapd for a week or two into the country. While waiting in court on this and like cmasions we, too, could scarcely suppress our indignation at the self-evident pretexts on which we and others had been called away from our engage ments. In one instance nearly 300 objections of the Mud ,NClt7 untdc. Thu ntunster uecmed Mat the first was frivolous, and threatened to fine for every similar one which was made. It was immediately announced that all the others of that class were with drawn ! Surely the objector ought to have been fined the ten shillings in each case, for the greater part of the voters had already lost their time by coming to the court. Unless the intention of the Reform Bill be avowedly to strike off all possible of those who have a right to a vote, we must hold with our respected correspondent, that the Revising Barrister ought to be forward to punish frivolous objections. In every other court the benefit of a doubt is always given to the accused, and informers are discouraged; and Registration Courts ought rather to watch over the substantial rights of her MAJESTY'S subjects, and to discourage such informers as GOODHUGII, whose name (for he seams to have shirked confronting the parties) flourishes in our Tuesday's report of the Hammer smith Court. The class of persons employed as agents or objectors are, indeed, frequently of a very un worthy character, and we have heard from them low jokes and " insults," which we were surprised the Barrister would tolerate, and certainly not surprised that respectable persons should prefer to escape. It is not indeed to be justified that persons any way competent to vote should lose the privilege by mere neglect, or even disgust with trumpery objectors and the harassing technicalities of the Reform Bill ; yet this is, we apprehend, the chief cause why the public displeasure has been less loudly expressed of late. Whoever brings in the next Re form Bill may be assured that a much simpler Register —one furnishing incomparably less work for the low tools of party spite, will be demanded by all respectable people. Such a Register, the poor rate book of the parishes, or the collector's book, if the income-tax b.) extended to incomes of 50/. and upwrrds (as Mr. B.umes report suggests), would furnish exactly. Either Register would include the ten-pound householder, and nearly any other class ; and if the paying clauses were struck out, as they certainly ought to be, when every collector hes stringent legal means of recovery, then the scope for the myrmidons of party zeal would he limited indeed. We know that the Revising Barristers are, as a body, highly respectable gentlemen ; yet we cannot but also think that, as a body, they are far too lenient with objectors, and not sufficiently watchful to save the time, and feelings too, of the voters. They should bear in mind, if we may allude to another common maxim in criminal cases, better have 100 voters too many, then disfranchise one honest voter. We, of course, refer to cases where votes have been once established, and where the too many we speak of means only, too many, judged by a merely technical standard. Let the Barrister determine to err, if he do so, on the side of enfranchisement, and let him not hesitate to fine freely. He ought to throw upon the objector, before the latter enters court, the trouble of inquiring into the truth of his surmises. As an instance, where an objection wes ma d e i n our own case that the party was re moved, because the shutters were temporarily closed, the objector should have Len compelled to fur nish evidence of reasonable inquiry of neighbours or others, if he washed to escape the fine ; and in the case mentioned by Mr. Low, to have proved reason able examination as to the gentleman's being really dead, instead of being tolerated in an unbecoming joke. For such mere guesses as these persons ought not to be dragged from their homes or their business, at the pleasure of informers against the franchise. In the meantime we strongly advise all parties so harassed, to press firmly on the Covrt the import ance of carrying out the Act for punishing petti fogging informeions against voters. If the public vigorously suste'n the Banisters in inflicting fines, they must themselves prefer to be saved the time which they are so often called upon to waste. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Government have received the following tele graphic dispatches : _ " Carcassonne, Oct. 4, Six A.:31, " The journey of the Prince from Narbonne to Car cassonne has taken place in the midst of enthusiastic cries of Vive l'Emperour !' The entry into Car casonno was triumphant. His Highness is in good health." " Toulouse, Oct. 4, Three P.M. " The Ptinca Pre3ident has just arrived. Ile is re ceived with the utmost enthusiasm and cries, a thousand times repeated, of Vive l'Empereur!"' At Montpellier, on the evening of the Ist the PRINCE PRESIDENT went to a second ball in the Rid ing School. The persons attending it were chiefly of the working class. On entering it. the PRINCE WE 9 greeted with numerous cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" and intermingled with them were some cries of "Vive l'amnistie !" The PRINCE remarked them, but said nothing, and took his seat on an estrade. After a moment he rose to depart, and as he was descend ing the steps, the same cries were repeated. The PRINCE stopped, and in a calm and firm voice said:: hear cries of Vive l'amnistie !' The amnesty is more in my heart than your mouths. If you desire it, render yourselves worthy of it by your prudence and your patriotism." These words were received by a shout of " Vive l'Empereur !" and flowers were thrown to the PRINC E as he returned t o hi s carr i age . The following appears in the Moniteur : " After the long and interesting visit which the Prince m ade to Fort Napoleon, at Toulon, ho returned late to the village of La Seyne, and there entered his boat to return to Toulon. The sun had cat, the evening was cool, and those who accompanied him sought to protect him from the cold. Ile, however, found another means of keeping himself warm; he told one of the rowers to remove from his seat, and he took hi s oar an d b egan rowing k si e a s s n m ol a d t sa h i i l s or n , ob le le avi s n iui g r th li a cit b y o , nd at a 'scr c e h w ar fi m ile ed with his skill. "d with e like enthusiasm This paragraph tends to disprove l an anecdote told by Mr.JERDAN, in his interesting reeolections, of his having been in a boat with Prince Louis on the Thames, who, essaying to row, caught a multitude of what are technically termed " crabs." General of Division Count DE GOLSTEIN dropped down _ dead on Monday ev, Sing, at the Verpailles Railway station. He was sixty-five years of age. There is a curious report to the effect that the most distinguished of the Perisian journals will, as soon as the press shall be submitted to the expected Imperial law, transfer itself to London. A letter f rom Ni smes, of the 30th ult., says— The" most frightful crime was committed this morn ing, at Uzes (Gard), on the person of N. de Drtnmartin, the mayor of that town. At the moment when he wee about to set out, accompanied by his son, for Nismes, to be present at the reception of the hince, four men armed came up to him, and one of them discharged a pistol point blank at his breast, and another at his head. His death was instantaneous. This horrible assasination has spread consternation and indignation throughout . the whole place." of the at, ny e th at ‘i t h e ex . A letter from Brliges, LONDON, EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1852. Montagnard member, CHARLES LAGRANGE, who re sided here, has been ordered to leave the Belgian ter ritory. He has already left this town." The Liberti, of Lille, states that placards, insulting to the PRESIDENT, had been plsted up in several com munes of that place. They are as follow : "MEASURE OF GENERAL SAFETY. DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT. " In consequence of the ordinary loquacity of women, and the mischief which results from it, we have, after mature deliberation, decreed as follows: " A rticle I—From this day all women shall be muzzled. " Given at St. Cloud, &c." These placards, which are in manuscript, bear as signature the name of Louis NAPOLEON. The police are rigidly inquiring atcer the authors of them. Galignani contains the following additional parti culars relative to the late catastrophe " The autopsy of the body of the deceased, Mr. ',for ton, took place yesterday, but without leading to the discovery of any new fact, except that the instrument with which the wound was given was ascertained to have been round at the end. Two letters, it appears, arrived yesterday morning in Paris from Mr. Bower, one ad dressed to the porter of the house at which ho had re sided in Paris, and the other to a female relation of his wife. Both of these letters, which bore the Boulogne post mark, were on their arrivel taken possession of by the Commissary of Police, but the nature of their con tents has not transpired." The apparently authorised statement on the subject of the death of Mr. MORTON, published by Galignani, does not differ materially in the main from the ac counts already given. The facts still remain as already told. The funeral of the unfortunate gentle man took place on Monday, the body being laid in the cemetery at Montmartre. The immediate cause of Mr. BOWER'S uncontrol lable burst of passion is explained by the statement of the maid-servant, who, having preceded him into his wife's room, had been present when her mistress informed Mr. BowER that the child last born was not his, but Mr. MORTON ' S—giving him at the same time such a connexion of circumstances and dates E 3 led him to believe the statement to t 3 true. It was under the effect of the tremendous information thus given that he lost all self-command, and, on seeing Mr. MORTON at the table, rushed fu ward to take ven geance on the man whom he believed to have dis honoured him. It hes been decided immediatAly to establish a bishopric at Cayenne. The project is to be put in execution as soon as the Putisce PLEEsIDENT returns from his tour in the south. The Municipal Council of Rochefort have voted a fresh credit of 10,000 f, which brings up the sum appropriated for the expenses of the Presidential reception to 38,000 f. There was very little variation at the Bourse.

MADRID BOURSE, SEPT. 30.—Closing prices:—The Three per Cents., 47; Exchange on London, 50 30 paper. GERMANY. We learn (says the Spener Gazette) that the Aus trian Government intends to submit to the Germanic Diet the question of the Customs Union. —t is added that the Cabinet of Vienna has already made proposals to that of Copenhagen co enter into negotia tions for the accession of the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg to the Austro-German Customs League. According to the New Gazette of Prussia, Austria is raising considerable armaments. It is certain that 35,000 men are assembled in Bohemia, at Vienna and its environs 25,000 men, while in Moravia and Hun gary there are 16,000. It is also said that Austria intends to raise another foreign lorn, so as to have funds always at her disposition. It was reported that certain of the states of the Darmstadt coalition have expressed to the Austrian Government their fear lest troubles should break out in their territories in case of the rupture of the Zell. verein, as it would put a stop to the manufacture of severel articles ; to which representation it is said that Austria has replied that in such case it is prepare to place at the disposal of the Governments threatened sufficient troops to suppress any di orders. The Queen MARIE AMELM and the Pr;lCe DE JOIN VILLE have been obliged to remain for scme days prat at Bonn, where they hc.d errived on tteir way to Switzerland, In consequence of a slight indis position of the Prince. It is their intention not to leave until he shall laver :rfectly recovered. The French journal of Frankfort of the 3d says :—. " Prince LUCIEN BONAPARTE, whom some journals have stated t 3 have left for Paris by order of his Go vernment, is still at Hombourg , where he plays at the public gaming-tables with varied fortune. After his winning 150,000 flot:ns on the 30th ult., the bank was compelled to close, but he is said to have lost a great part of his winnings on the following days." RUSSIA. The Boman Catholic priest LURACHOSOERG, who has been convicted of jesuitical intrigues, hr' been sentenced by his Majesty the EMPEROR to do penance in the fortress of Schlrqselburg. The EMPEROR, accompanied by the Grand Dukes NICHOLAS and MICHAEL, hE3 gone into the interior of the empire, on a tour of insp3ction. EGYPT. The _Mats has some interesting news from Alex andria. It says : " We have received accounts from Alexandria t) the 23d ult. The Egyptian Government had just addressed to the Consuls-General is Alexendrie, through Edhem Pacha, Minister of Foreign Milers, a circular, which hea caused considerable emotion among all the European commerce in the plac". This circular, which is dated 16th ult., states, in substance, that the price of corn, being much higher at Cairo than at Alexanciii - to which place it is carried in large quan - ties for exportation, the i Viceroy, in his paternal solicitude for his subjects n the capital, has decided that henc,iforth all boats laden with wheat coming from Upper Egypt compelled to unload at Boula c , and there sell their should be stepped and cargoes for consumption, The &realer adds that this measure will rcr jive the unanimous appro bation of the consular hely, who e co-operat - on the Egyptian Government invokes in order to sec re its strict execution. It is easy to conceive what com plaints were rail' 1 ag,:inst this measure when it was made known at Alexandli• In f; ^t the commercial advices had for soc e s'aie given rc ason t) supposa that the harvest in Europe would b 3 very inferior to fiat of former years, and !;corcely sufficient in many parts for the local consumption. This wrs expect - d to Le the case more particularly in Great Britain, where a deficit of a fifth was looked for. This st ite of things had led to a largo amount of business at Alexandri2, from whence about 1,550,000 hectolitres of corn were exported in 1851, and a number of vessels had been collected to gether at Alexandria in order to ship the corn which was shortly expected to arrive from the intazior. In the midst of all these transactiora comes the circular above mentioned. This measure, if it be rr :intained, will have the most ruinous consequences for ti el' immerce of Alex andria; and it is to put an end to such a state of things that the consuls-general, after having consulted together, convoked the principal persons belonging, to their respec tire nations, whose observations and complaints they heard, and made every disposition to defend their intereais,which are so s'iiously compromised. The right of the Egypt tian any more than any other Government to prohibi the exportation of corn cannot be disputed; for it is the sole judge of the necessity of such a serious measure. When it is adopted with foresight, end with that consi deration which is due to other interests, which it sacri fices for en object of general utility, it must b 3 submitted to, but such does not apps t have been done in this instance. Far from issuing a prohibiron against expor tation, on the very day the circular a..ived at Alexan dria the Government sold 12,000 ard e L 3 of wheat, with an enormous rise in price in consequence of the panic caused by the new measure. Thss tact proves,that there is no fear on the subject of a sufficient supp'y in Egypt; and in fact the last harvest has been a most abundant one. Political affairs in Egypt appear to be very celm. Abbas Pacha is shortly expected at Cairo. News from Syria had been received to the 20th, which were rather serious. The Druses had again raised the standard of revolt, and recommenced their depredations. The Governor-General of Damascus had vainly attempted every means of bringing about an understanding with these mountaineers, who are supposed to have relations with the Bedouins of the desert. Ho had consequently decided en taking the field against them at the head of 15,000 men, and a numerous artillery." Rumours are current that Parliament will h coiled together during the last week of the present month for the dispatch of important businesp.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cott , n at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market was tame, but closed steadily. The sales com prised 40 Bahia, at W.; 100 Egyptian, at 61d. to 61d.; 600 Surat, at 31d., to 44d.; and 30 Sea Island at Is. 90, to 2s. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull. The following report upon the state of the Silk Market is furnished by Mr. H, W. Eaton:— " The next public sales are fixed to commence on the 20th instant, The Silk Market throughout Sep tember, for China Silk, has been extremely un settled, the firmness assumed by importers, reported in my last Circular, having been of short duration. The disposition subsequently evinced to meet the trade, by adopting the reduction of ls. 6d. per lb., unfortuately failed to improve our position, con sumers being unwilling to operate until after the arrival of the new silk, which is this week in course of landing. It is, however, to be hoped now that the buyers, from the last accounts from Chins, have the means of estimating in some degree the probable sup plies, and of comparing them with the in creased consumption both at home abroad, that the trade will shortly Eresume its usual activity. In Italian Silk there is nothing particular to notice, prices being still firm, and imports limited, In Bengals a fair current demand continues, the finest sorts, as also some of the lower of the required reeling, still being taken for export, while the roarcity of coarser Silk, from Hs. to Ini., is much felt by the home trade, but which, I am happy to say, will, in some degree, be remedied by the assortment of Hurripauls among the imports now unloading. The Brutias and Persians have all been taken on arrival." The ship Aden, from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, although not bringing later dates, has about 24,0001. in gold on board. There is another foreign railway announced, the Nor wegian _ Trunk line. The whole capital raised here, 225,0001., is to be paid down at the time of subscription. There will be a similar amount of capital subscribed by the Norwegian Government, but the shareholders will be allowed to take all the receipts until they get 5 per cent. The settlement in the English, Scottish, and Aus - - tralian Bank Shares, takes place next Friday. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 4th instant, business was tolerably animated. Dutch Bonds com manded higher prices. Foreign Securities, except Aus trian and French, advanced slightly. In the English Funds there is an improvement this morning, and Console for Transfer and Account, after being 991 to 100 k, are now 100 k to 4. There seems to be an impression that the market will tend upwards after the payment of the dividends. The March Exchequer bills have been 705., and the June 68s. to 71s. premium. East India Bonds realised 83s. to 86s. premium. The Foreign Market is rather flat. Peruvian Six per Cents. have declined to 1031 and 103 ex. dividend. The Deferred, however, have been 63k to 64. Grenada De ferred Stock has been quoted 111 to 1. Equador Bonds are 44 1., and old Brazilian Stock has been quoted 101 ex. dividend. Spanish New Deferred re main at 234 j. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 1041, and Dutch Two-and-a -Half per Cents. 64i to 65. The Turkish Loan is still giving way, probably because of the new rivals it is likely to have. The premium has been Si to 81. The Swedish Loan rose suddenly yesterday after our report was made up from 1 and 11 to 3 and 4 premium, closing at 24 to 3i, which are also about the prices now. Con sidering that this loan, although sanctioned by the Swedish Government, is after all not guaranteed by it, being taken by the Hypothecated Estate Associa tion of Gothenburg, wo cannot but think that the con tract price of 93, with 3 pe r cent. premium, and all the inconvenience of periodical instalments, is an adequate price. Sardinian Five per Cents. paid up are but 96, and Dutch Four Far Cents. 96 to 97. The m arket for Railway Shares is in a more favour able position, and, with a slight increase of business, bettor prices are obtained. Caledonian, Great Western, North-Western, South-Western, South-Eastern, and York and Bt-rwick are dearer. French Shares are firm. In the Gold Mine Market not much is doing, and the Joint-Stock Bank and Steam Navigation Companies are quiet though firm. Her Majesty's Theatre Association Shares have been sold at to premium again.

CORN EXCHANGE-IVEDNESDAY The arrivals of Wheat coastw i se and by land carriage, since Monday, having been very limited, the show of samples here to-day was trifling in the extreme. The attendance of mill.Ta was small; nevertheless, most of the samples on offer were disposed of at full pri ( ;cs. There was more doing for forward delivery. Upw a rds of 12,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to lmnd this week. Fine dry parcels sold readily at previous quotations; but damp and middling qualities commat ided very little attention. Floating cargoes were held at fetll prices. Barley—the supply of which was small—wa siu request, and quite as dear. We had rather more doing. in Malt, whilst the Oat trade was firm at Monday's advat 1C43 in the:quotatious. Beans and F lour changed hands freei'y, but Peas and Indian-corn commanded very little aL. • tontion. ARRIVAL& THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flou I ; Qrs , Qrs.
