LATEST FROM IRELAND. We have received the following from our corre spondent in Dublin by Electric Telegraph from Liverpool " DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. " All the accounts from the provinces report the continuance of tranquillity. There is no intelligence of the movements of the rebel leaders. Your re porter, writing from Ballingarry on Wednesday night, states that several arrests had been made of persons known to have harboured the rebel leaders as well as for taking part in the insurrectionary movement. Smith O'Brien slept at Kilcooley on Saturday night in the house of an under forester, in the service of Mr. Ponsonby Barber. Meagher and Doheny are believed to have taken up their quarters on the north side of Slievenamon. The troops have been moved out of Ballingarry, and are encamped in a field adjoining. A report has been received that it is the intention of the rebels to attack the military on Tuesday next; it is not however credited: The Electric Telegraph's Company's express states that yesterday proclamations were issued by the Lord• Lieutenant to the le counties and baronies pro claimed last Monday, calling on all parties, not privi leged, to deliver up their arms on or before the 7th inst., under the penalty of two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Lord Hardinge reviewed the troops of the garri son in the Phcenix Park to-day, and expressed him self well satisfied w4h their high state of discipline.— Tinte:y. • The recent intelligence from Ireland principally consists of . speculations concerning the present posi tion of the rebel leaders. A variety of circumstan tial accounts have been put forward respecting their movements, all of which appear to be equally desti tute - of foundation. According to one statement, Mr. Smrrn O'BRIEN sailed from Limerick on Satur day ilight last in an emigrant vessel, the Jane Black, which started on her voyage Much sooner than the period anticipated, leaving several parties behind who had engaged berths on board her. Another ~r on account,l equally c ir cums t an ti a l, states that he sailed a small port on the Galway coast, accompanied by M . "Sen. MEAGHER. and • DEYIN REILLY ; while a thiM declares that he passed through Bristol, and mad thence by the Great Western Railway, and on to Rotterdam by the Batavier steam.acket ; and a y ' a fourth, with great er probability, an nounces that he is seeking refuge in the mountainslyi heng between nlay the counties of Clare and Galway, where remain concealed until the closeness of the pursuit has re laxed, and where he could readily obtain shelter and protection against any small party who might come upon his track. Any person at all acquainted with the character of the Irish peasantry will easily understand the origin of these conflicting rumours. Through.. out the entire country, and more especiallypatiiy in the less cultivated districts , the greatest syni is invariably entertained for, and, whenever practic able,lassistance afforded to, persons seeking to evade the law. Even the most sanguinary murderer will be aided in his flight from justice, and the stringent pro visions of the law will be fearlessly encountered in order to facilitate the escape of a perfect stranger. Whenever the pursuit becomes too pressing, a number of contradictory accounts are forthcoming respecting the movements of the fugitives. Statements will be put forward with the utmost simplicity and verisimilitude, calculated to distract the atten tion of the pursuers, and to turn them from the right scent. There will be as many different accounts as there are inquiries made. No person when inter rogated will acknowledge his ignorance, but will pre tend to the fullest information, and invent the most minute details as a corroboration to the authenticity of his narration. It is by such means that outlaws, for whose apprehension large rewards were offered, have been enabled to continue at freedom for many years, until, emboldened by the impunity, they have relaxed the precautions they observed in the first heat of the pursuit. A more cheering evidence, however, could not be afforded of the total and entire suppres sion of the insurrectionary movement in Ire land, and the absence of any description of hope in the minds of its abettors, than is afforded by these various statements. If it was still supposed possible that a general outbreak could take place, it would not be announced that the " Gene rals" had fled the country, and had consulted their own safety by an ignominious flight. It might be said that they were lying hid until the proper period arrived, but that they would still be prepared to head the " National Armies," and lead them on to victory over the Saxon oppressor in due time. Their departure for a foreign shore, however, is an abdication of the functions entrusted to their charge, a manifest proof that even they themselves acknowledge the total failure of their enterprise. We do not by any means assert that the spirit of discontent and disaffection which was unfortunately so prevalent throughout the whole of Ireland, has been changed, or that many would not be prepared to take advantage of any favourable opportunity for setting the authorities at defiance. The eradication of that.feeling must be a work of considerable time, and we will add, also, of much labour and great ex pence. We must wean the Irish people from their unfortunate prejudices by a long course of kindness, and by a judicious and conciliatory policy. Their real grievances must be removed, and reasonable as sistance afforded to render their lands productive, and provide constant employment for all who are able and willing to work. As we have repeatedly said, they must be in every respect.placed upon a footing of perfect equality with England, and rendered an integral portion of the British empire, with equal rights and equal privileges to those which we ourselves enjoy. A fully occupied and fairly remunerated man, in possession of the actual necessaries of life, and perhaps the enjoyment of some humble comforts, will not readily listen to the voice of the tempter, or be easily led astray by pernicious counsels, however plausible they may appear. To use a homely adage—" A man will not , quarrel with his bread and butter," but when the butter is wholly abstracted, and but a small portion of the bread is allowed to remain, his disposition becomes much more pugnacious, and ready for any disturbance, which, whatever may be its result, can scarcely deteriorate his condition. At present the " snake is scotched, not killed." The majority of the people are kept in awe by fear and not by love. There is, however, little prospect of a further outbreak at present. The decisive check given to the insurgents at Boulagh by a few policemen has proved the utter hopelessness of any attempt to withstand the British power with the means at their disposal. No insurrectionary movement could be at all successful, neither could the great body of the people be induced to participate therein, un less some brilliant successes had attended the first outbreak. An early discomfiture is equivalent to a total defeat, and when that has taken place, as in the present instance, there will be no chance of a speedy repetition of the attempt, unless the people are goaded on by cruelties and atro cities practised under the guise of law. The difference between the termination of the present rebellion and that of half a century preceding may be attributed to the different mode of treatment adopted towards the " suspected " at the different periods. The Irish have been blessed with the temperate but firm rule of a CLARENDON in 1848 ; but in 1798 the most abominable cruelties were perpetrated, and the triangles and pitch caps were in daily requisition in the Yeomanry riding-schools. Hence the massacres of Wexford and Scullabogue, while more recently life and property have been in every instance respected. The rule to be adopted for the permanent tranquillization of Ireland - should be that, some years since put forward in an excellent pamphlet under the quaint title of— " Feed, Employ, but don't hang them." Disasters have at last followed each other with such rapid succession in Lombardy, that the King of SARDINIA is beginning to reflect seriously upon the possible consequences of a French intervention. After the brilliant successes with which the campaign of liberation commenced it becomes doubly deplor able to observe the repeated and profound calamities which have latterly befallen the Italian forces. A quick succession of victories, beginning with the battle of Goito, had illustrated the military enter prise of CARL° ALBERTO, and seemed to promise the speedy and permanent eonsolidation of the long buried nationality of the Roman peninsula. These achievements, however, have now given place to the most deplorable reverses of fortune. The ..army which had responded so • nobly to the calls of the Milanese, which bad been augmented by auxiliary troops arriving at intervals from Naples, from the Papal States, from Tuscany, and from the smaller principalities, the army which had driven back the German legionaries to the heart of the province of Vicentino, and which only yesterday threatened the divided power of RADETZKY with either flank under the walls of Mantua and Verona—that army has suddenly recoiled in the very hour of its glory, it has fallen back before the over whelming and concentrated superiority of the Aus trians, it has been outnumbered, and outgeneralled, and outmanesuvred, it has been compelled to retreat swiftly and almost in a state of disorganize tion froth the line of the Mincio to the line of the Oglio. According to the last accounts received from the seat of war, the head-quarters of CARLo ALBERTO were fixed at Boszolo, so that the road between Mantua and Milan lay open before the soldiers of RADETZKY. It would appear that a detachment of the Austrians had already advanced as far as Cremona, and were doubtless soon afterwards advancing upon Pizzeghettone. Consequently the dream of the Sar dinian SOVEREIGN has "melted into thin air" at the very instant it seemed to verge upon realisation. The kingdom he recently traversed as a conqueror, he is now obliged to resign almost with the precipitation of a fugitive. Nor when we reflect upon the numerical preponderance of his antagonists, is this bewildering change of circumstances altogether unaccountable. From first to last the Piedmontese have acted with extraordinary gallantry. Although but feebly se conded in their efforts against the Germans, by the Romans, the Tuscans, the Neapolitans, and even by the Milanese themselves, the young recruits of Piedmont have deported themselves almost in every instance, without exception, v,ith the enthusiasm of novices, and sometimes even with the circumspection of vete rans. They have been to the more patriotic Italians what the Garde Mobile have been to the moderate Republicans of France. They have been the avant garde of Italian nationality as the Garde Mobile have been the trustiest phalanx in defiance of anarchy and terrorism. Still, in spite of the cou • rage of the Piedmontese, in spite of the earnestness of their King-Captain (and the splendid prizes he has at stake in the contest are the surest guarantees for the sincerity of CARLO ALBERTO—the Italian army have been forced to retire, felt, be cause of the enormous superiority of their op ponents in point of actual number; and, secondly, because in fighting against RADETZK I' they are fighting against one of the wiliest commanders of the age. The Piedmontese have been outnumbered, CARLO ALBERTO has been outgeneralledand that is the reason why we suddenly find the tide of for tune reversed, and the Italians hurried from the shelter of the Mincio to the western banks of the Oglio. Prom what has occurred in Lombardy it is dreaded lest France shall be led to adopt the policy of inter ference. In the celebrated manifesto of LAMARTINE it was• announced to Europe that the Republic would only interpose her forces when the cause of any distinct nationality should appear desperate. Not otherwise. And hitherto amidst all the changes of her administration the young Republic of February has adhered with the noblest constancy to this wise and generous decla ration. Hitherto the armies of France have abstained from crossing her frontiers. The army of the Alps, it is true, has dallied upon the borders of Provence and Dauphine, but it has only been to act with promptitude in any case of emergency. Up to the last week the passive attitude assumed by the French Republic in regard to the combatants in Lom bardy has been confirmed by the thanks and entreaties of the King of SARDINIA. Never theless it must be remembered that that was only during the period of his success. Now that fortune has shifted to the banners of RADETZKT, the tone of CARL° ALBERTO appears to be changed in like manner. It, is certain that the retreat of the Piedmontese army to Bozzolo was immediately fol lowed by the departure of Signor GUERRIERI, and afterwards of the Marchese Ricci to Paris, the former as an unaccredited, and the latter as an accredited, agent from the old Provisional Government of Milan. On Wednesday morning Ricci arrived in Paris for the purpose, as it is understood, of seeking the help of France in the present doubtful position of affairs in Lombardy. Now, any armed intervention on the part of France between the belligerent forces of Austria and Pied mont would necessarily embroil the Republic with Germany. War on the River Po would inevitably lead to war on the River Rhine ; and war i❑ those two quarters would as certainly lead at once to war all over the continent. For the sake of humanity, therefore, Cor the sake of civilization, for the sake of constitutional freedom, it is most earnestly to be hoped that a merely spurious sentiment of generosity, much less an ignoble thirst after conquest, will not blindly plunge France into a collision with Austria. To our own mind, such a proceeding seems impos sible if it were attempted, and insane if it were pos sible. Part of the army of the .Alps is now occupied in the vicinity of Paris, and part of it even in the metropolis. Indeed, the Republic has scarcely leisure to go off on a freak of knight-errantry like that of delivering the virgin nationality of Italia from the lickerish grasp of the old brutal Austrian despotism. The iron hands of the French soldiers are still grappling with the conquered, but not annihi lated, hydra of insurrection. If the grip of those hands be relaxed and the awe of that military presence be carried beyond the ridge of the Cottian Alps, the anarchists will arise with redoubled energy, infuriated by their late de feat and maddened by a raging appetite for ven geance. In that case the streets of Paris must again run with blood, and in the civil war carried on in that city by the surviving demons of the late outbreak who shall vouch for the safety of such men as LAMARTINE, ARAGO, DUPONT, MARRAST, MARIE, and the like ? And those men gone, whose voice shall recall France to reason, whose courage shall crush terrorism by its defiance, whose genius shall allay the storm of the social convulsion ? No: if France on the first glimpse of a reverse in Italy, has the madness to involve Europe in a blaze from one extremity to the other, she will be sealing the doom of her own woe and degradation. Nor will she be acting with any degree of faithlessness towards the Roman peninsula by abstaining from an instant participation in its quarrels. The fate of the Pied montese is obscured, but it is by no means desperate. In fact it has been hinted by the Vicegerent of Ger many himself that Austria has only been awaiting a slight flush of victory, in order that she might, with some appearance of grace, yield to a compromise. On the opening of the Vienna Diet, the Archduke JOHN declared that the Austrian Government was not anxious to do violence to the nationality of the Italians. Hence, we maintain again, that the posture of affairs with the Piedmontese, although serious, is in no respect desperate. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have been re- eeived. On the morning of that day GONZALES BRAVO was arrested at his house in Madrid by Senor Cmco, the head of the police, in consequence of orders received from NAItVAEZ by telegraph from La Granja, and immediately placed in a. chaise with a police offi;:er on each side of him, and driven off to Cadiz, from whence he will be immediately trans ported to the Philippine Islands. It appears that an intrigue has for some time been concocting against NARVAEZ by the Camarilla. The soul of this intrigue was the Marquis of MIRAPLORES (the great friend of CHRISTINA) and his ward the Mar quis of BEDMAR, who appears to have suc ceeded General SERRANO in that peculiar in fluence which he once possessed over the QUEEN. The plot was to dismiss NARVAEZ and call upon GONZALES BRAVO to form a Ministry, who would have conferred high office on the Marquises of BEDMAR and MIRAFLORES, and have given seats in the Cabinet to CORDOVA, the two CONCHAS and CARRASCO. NAB. VAEZ discovered the intrigue just in time to save himself, and at once dismissed the Marquis of MIRAFLORES from the governorship of the Palace, and ordered the deportation of GONZALES BRAVO to the Philip pines. The Duke of SOTOMAYOIt is about to leave the Mi nistry on the ground of ill-health. He will be ap pointed Minister to the French Republic. It is said that he will be succeeded by PIDAL as Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Heraldo announces the discovery of a Carlist conspiracy in Madrid, and the arrest of several of the conspirators.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Bill for imposing a tax on all mortgages gave rise to a very animated debate in the National Assembly on Wednesday. It was vehemently at tacked by M. Tinuas, as being unjust in its prin ciple and its operation. The lion. Gentleman then proceeded to advocate the imposition of an income. tax as in England. M. GOUDCHAUX defended the measure as being merely of a temporary nature. It was imposed only for one year, and it levied a tax upon the only species of property the value of which had not been depreciated by the revolution. With regard to the income-tax, M. GOIIDCHAUX said that he intended to propose such an imposition for 1849, and that the Bill was ready. Ultimately the Minister succeeded in carrying his measure by a majority of thirty-nine only, the numbers being— For the tax Against it ...... .......... Majority •• -39 On the night of Tuesday, M. ALBERT Ricci, the Sardinian Minister in Paris, made a formal applica tion from CHARLES ALBERT to the French Republic for military assistance against Austria. M. AmAral has also arrived in Paris, deputed by the Provisional Government of Vienna to request French ;interven tion in the affairs of Italy. They have been re ceived by M. BASTIDB, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it is feared that France will be forced into an intervention. A Lyons paper states that two regiments have been ordered to march from that gar rison towards the frontiers of Italy, and that all the troops in that division have received orders to hold themselves in readiness ; while a Marseilles journal announces that the Minister at War has ordered the formation of a' camp of from 15,000 to 20,000 men in the vicinity of that city.

As that part of the country is very mountainous, it may very well be de fended by well-commanded volunteers, if they have only to do with detached corps of Austrians, but not if Mar shal Radetzky advances on it en masse. A sort of panic has shown itself at Milan; barricades are being raised in the faubourgs, and advanced works constructed in the neighbouring villages. We do not think that the danger is so imminent as to require all these precautions. Un less Charles Albert is led by the political acts of the Lombardians to give up their cause, he may defend the line of the Adda for a long time, and it is even doubtful whether the Austrians would endeavour to make an ad vance on Milan by attacking the flank of the Piedmon tese army. We think rather that their attacks will be confined to front and to accessory operations, such as the sending several divisions, vkho, after having passed the Po at Bongofate, may sweep the Duchy of Modena, that of Parma, and threaten the right wing of the Pled montese. " The Sardinian army left in Savoy have received orders to join the main body of the army by forced marches. These troops constitute the whole reserve of Charles Albert, who behind them has nothing more to calculate on than—France. It is for this reason he solicits our assistance, and it is positively said that the Government has received orders to make a demonstra tion in the Adriatic. In a military point of view such a measure appears to us both tardy and insufficient; as a political act has all its bearing been duly weighed? It is said that M. Ricci, the Sardinian Minister, had an interview with the French Minister of Foreign Affairs last evening in order to demand the cooperation of France. _ " The new Sardinian Ministry doesnot appear to have met with the sympathies of the Piedmontese nation. On the 29th the people of Turin, excited by the imminence of the danger, went in a crowd to the Chamber, demand. ing the dissolution of the Assembly and the concentra tion of all the power in the hands of the King. The doors were closed, and the National Guard protected the Assembly. Several of the Members harangued the people from the windows; and at length Gioberti pre sented himself, announcing that he had been charged to form a new Ministry ; that he was about to submit his programme to the Chamber, and if it was accepted he would remain in office, and if not he would immediately retire.: The crowd felt confidence in him and dispersed. "It is confidently stated that an express has arrived from Turin with the intelligence that the dictatorship of the King has been proclaimed. M. Mazzini has enrolled himself as a volunteer at Milan." The Italian Envoys had yesterday interviews with General CAVAIGNAC and M. BAsTIDE, who intimated to them that the French Government was by no means disposed to interfere by armed force in the affairs of Italy . except in the case of absolute neces sity, but that they hoped to induce England to join with France in offering the joint mediation of the two countries between Austria and CHARLES ALBERT. In the sitting of the National Assembly, yesterday, the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the origin of the attack of the 15th of May, and of the insurrection of June, was presented. The read ing of it was not concluded when the post left. MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, LOUIS BLANC, and CAUSSIDIERE, were present, and it seemed to be the general opinion that the Assembly would order them to be taken into custody. - BOURSE, PARIS, THURSDAY, AUG. 3.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 31st, SCHMHRLINO, the Minister for Home and Fo reign Affairs, informed the House that all negotia tions with Denmark with reference to a more per manent armistice were at an end. The war was to be immediately and energetically continued by Ger many, the costs to be defrayed from the Imperial Treasury. . . PEUCICSR, the Minister of War, paid that due mea sures had been taken for sending large reinforcements to General Witaxotth. Each German state was to furnish its contingent. To this succeeded the election of the President and two Vice-Presidents for the ensuing month.

Question put. Is it the will of the National Assembly that the Imperial arms have a motto ? —No ! unanimously. 2. Shall the eagle have only one head P—No almost unanimously. 3. Is it the will of the National Assembly that the eagle has two beads ?—Carried. 4. Is it the will, &c., that the Imperial eagle be represented with open talons ?—Carried. 5. Is it the will of the National Assembly that the Imperial flag consist of three horizontal stripes--i/asck uppermost, red in the middle, and gold undermost? — Carried. But, to state the matter briely, the war flag is to consist of the stripes above mentioned, with the im perial eagle in the uppermost stripe, and next to the staff. The commercial flag (which tdl German merchant vessels are to hoist) is of the Imperial eagle. the same colour, and with out AUSTRIA. On the 20th ult. there was a grand funeral service celebrated at Vienna in memory of the citizens who fell in the days of March. All the Members of the National Assembly were present. The EMPEROR has signified to the Ministry, that it is not his intention to return to Vienna for the present. " A letter from Vienna says—" We have received by Inspruck intelligence from Marshal RADETZKY, dated July 28. It states that General WELDEN has taken Cremona by assault. The enemy quitted Peschiera in all haste, and crossed the Lake Garda in flight. The EMI'EROR has sent to the Marshal the order of Maria Theresa." Another letter froin Vienna of the 28th ult. says— " The Archduke REGNIEn has been named Lieu tenant of the EMPEROR in the place of the Archduke JOLIN. This intelligence produced a bad effect at the Bourse ; the upper classes consider him the cause of the Italian war." PRUSSIA. On Sunday the KING gave a magnificent fete to the Members of the National Assembly at Sans Souci. The Prince of PRUSSIA has been attacked by the cholerine, a mild species of cholera. The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette has the following from Berlin, dated the 30th ult. :—" It is stated that the two squadrons of Hussars, which came in yes terday from Potsdam, were called upon before their departure to make a solemn promise to op pose all ideas of anti-Prussian unity. Count By- Low, one of the first officers of the regiment, gave them a dinner previous to their departure, during which he addressed them in the following terms: — So long as the Hussar shall have:his sabre by his side, and cartridges in his cartouch-bbz, he can have no reason for thinking of a fraternization with the mob of Berlin. For my part, I know not what a people means. I know only a King, obedient soldiers, and faithful subjects. Besides, Ido not re cognise either a German Unity or a Vicar of the Empire.'" Ther Berlin correspondent of the bulepentlance of Brussels writes on the 30th ult. Our city was disturbed last evening by demonstrations which journalists, when similar manifestations are made in a legislative Assembly, designate as Mouveinents en sens contraire. The Radicals and their adherents made acclamations in favour of the unity of Germany, and sung aloud in the streets a song which was composed, not in accordance with their ideas, by Father Aursorr, the burthen of which is where is the country of Germany ? Some of the Prussian black and white flags having been displayed under the Linden trees, groups assembled and insisted upon their being removed. The new constables were forced to interfere. As an illuitra- tion of German unity, there was a great interchange of violent blows, and it is said, wounds of more or less gravity were given and received. In opposition to these self-created Germans, the burgher guards returning from their military exercise, resounded Prussian airs, such as I am a Prussian! Behold my flag, &c. - •I(A. HOLLAND. The Journal de la Haye, of the Ist instant states:— " A Cabinet Council met to-day, which lasted several hours; at the close of which, M. Doractx CURTEUS, Minister, ad intorim, of Justice, tendered his resig nation to the KING, in consequence of the rejection by the First Chamber of the two last projects of law. It is not ascertained whether his MAJESTY has ac cepted his resignation. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES• The Victoria, arrived from Hamburgh at Hull last evening at six o'clock. She brings no intelligence of importance from the Duchies. ITALY. LOMBARDY. CHARLES ALBERT has abandoned the line of the Mincio, and has retired on the Oglio. At Turin the people are so dissatisfied with the new Ministry that they have demanded its immediate dissolution, and the concentration of all the executive powers in the hand of the KING, who would, it was said, be at once proclaimed Dictator. According to the National Savoisien, the following resolution was agreed to at the sitting of the Cham ber of Deputies of Turin on the 29th ult.:-- " The King's Government is in vebted, during the pre sent war of independence, with all legislative and execu tive powers. It may by royal decree, or under ministerial responsibility (the constitutional institutions being re spected), perform all acts for the defence of the country, and of uur institutions." The Pensiero Italiano publishes, by authority, a private letter, dated Milan, July, 28, two o'clock, I .m., which is as follows :—•T am authorised to give you the satisfactory information which I have just received from Signor TORELLI, an officer of his MAJESTY'S staff, that he left the army 'y esterday at Goito, amounting to 40,000 men, in perfect order, and only fatigued by the battle which had taken place, and in want of provisions, which were rather scarce at that moment; but he (Signor TORELLI) having been sent expressly to Cremona to procure provisions, the necessary measures were immediately taken, and the army must by this time be well pro vided. There was no doubt but that the offensive would be assumed as soon as possible. Should ru mours be current to the prejudice of our army, you may fearlessly contradict them on the faith of the information I here give you, which has this moment been read to our anxious public, and also dispatched to Turin." POSTPONEMENT OF TIIE ROYAL VISIT TO SCOT LAND.—We hear that her Majesty and the Prince Consort are not expected to visit the domain of Balmoral Castle this year, owing, it is understood, to the works in progress at the Castle not being in a sufficiently forward state. Several ornamental bridges are being constructed over the Dee, as it runs through some of the walks chalked out on the royal estate. The improvements at Windsor Castle, in cluding the drainage works, will Le completed next month, and the Court, it is expected, after the royal annual aquatic trip in the Victoria and Albert yacht, will proceed from Osborne to the Castle for the autumn. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) POTTER P. THE SWANSEA DOCK COMPANY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 20L, for services rendered as a clerk. The defendants denied their liability. The facts of the case are these:—ln 1846 the above company was formed, and sanctioned by an Act passed in July 1847. From December, 1846, till the beginning of this year, the affairs of the company were managed by two boards of directors, one in Lon don and the other in Swansea. Mr. Howden was secre tary to the London board, and engaged the plaintiff to make occasional copies of proceedings, &e., and it was for this that the plaintiff now claimed. An application had been made to the company , and the answer received was that they had paid the amount, which bad been charged for in Mr. Howden's account and paid to him, and that they bad no knowledge of plaintiff individually. Mr. Howden was called, and said that ho was secre• tary to the Cameron Steam-boat Coal Company, and was at the time spoken of also secretary to the London board of the Swansea Dock Company, but they had separate offices in Lothbury and Moorgate-street. Plaintiff was a clerk in the Cameron Company, but witness requiring assistance engaged plaintiff under the authority of the di rectors of the Duck Company, to write and copy for them. There was no arrangement as to the rate of remunera tion. The business was to be done afer the usual office hours, and was quite distinct from the duties of the Cameron Company. Witness considered that from 161. to 201. would be a fair remuneration. In cross examination he admitted that after the Act of Parliament was obtained a lad was engaged as a clerk but the principal writing was done by plaintiff or a Mr. Nosworthy, at the office in Moorgate-street. He (witness) had made a charge for the services of plaintiff and Nosworthy. A dispute arose as to his claim, and he ultimately agreed to accept 1351. as a balance, but positively asserted that when the settlement was made, be distinctly said he should exclude the claims of plaintiff and Nosworthy, and that they must be struck out. The defence was that the witness was bound under the settlement to pay plaintiff and Nosworthy. Mr. Jenkins, the solicitor to the company, was called to establish the defence, and stated that during the ne gotiation for settlement of accounts between the com pany and Mr. Howden, the latter refused to take 1001. as a balance, on the ground that he should have to pay plaintiff and Nosworthy. Witness said at the time that the company was not liable to them, and it was ulti mately arranged that the 1351. should be received in full of all demands. The Learned SECONDARY said the real question was, whether Ilowden or the company were liable, and whe ther, if the latter, they were justified in paying Ilowden, supposing the amount to be included in the 135/. The jury, after consulting for some time, gave a ver dict fur defendants. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Joseph Goalett, a gentleman residing at No. 9, Gloucester-place, New-road, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having wilfully destroyed some voting papers placed on the door of Saint James's Church, Piccadilly. Police-constable 112 C, said, this morning, about four o'clock, he was on duty in Swallow street, Piccadilly, when he saw the defendant go up to the door leading to the churchyard, and deliberately tear down the list of voters produced. Witness went up to him and took him into custody, with the papers in his possession. The defendant said he had beer. _supping out with a friend, and was returning home, and in a moment of thoughtlessness, he pulled the papers from the door. Mr. BINGHAM said, in consequence of defendant's want of thought, he had rendered himself liable to a penalty. The list of voters was of great importance to the public at large, of which circumstance the defendant must have been well aware. He should, as a warning to others, fine him (defendant) 405., or fourteen days' to the House of Correction. The fine was paid. Sir James Duke, 111. P., on Wednesday entertained the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and a large party of Par liamentary and civic friends, at the Crown and Sceptre, Greenwich. Sir James Duke is next in rotation for the Mayoralty. Among the distinguished company present it was remarked that there were three Members of Par liament from the same Scotch county, and Admiral Sir Charles Adam, who made an excellent speech in re turning thanks for the navy; the Right Honourable Fox Maule, M.P., who returned thanks for himself and Ministers ; Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., who spoke i n a favour of reform generally, and in well-des erve d pra i se of his very worthy friend, the chairman, Alderman Sir James Duke, M.P., in particular. Sir James had been originally in the navy, served with Sir Charles Adam under Lord Exmouth at the battle of Algiers, and had subsequently fought his way in the world to his present hi g hly honourable position. In his early career, he made grateful mention of the countenance he received from his friend and countryman, Mr. Hume. The Lord Mayor, in proposing the health of Sir James Duke, very happily observed what the citizens of London might expect from the splendour of the entertainment that day—a very brilliant campaign of hospitality (champagne, no doubt !) during the ensuing mayoralty—which was re ceived with hearty cheers and laughter. HYDROPHORIA.—AN EFFECTUAL PREVENTITE FOR BTDROPIIOBIA.—III the event of a bite from an animal in a rabid state or otherwise, sponge and wash the place as soon as possible with clean water; then take good leaf tobacco, and make a bandage of it on the place bitten or lacerated; change the bandage three or tour times a day for a week; Piis will effectually absord and extract any poison that may have lodged itself in the part bitten. If leaf tobacco cannot be obtained, take strong manu factured cut tobacco, and use it in the same manner. In America, the Indians, in their travels through forests and prairie lands, always carry the leaf tobacco with them; and when they are bitten by serpents and other venomous reptiles, they use the leaf tobacco in the way described, and it is an invariable antidote against hydro phobia and other fatal effects.—R. M. TAYLOR, Glou cester, 1848. We regret to hear that Lady Harriet Erskine, only daughter of the Earl and Countess of Rosslyn, has been very seriously indisposed. Yesterday the youthful lady teas considered somewhat better, and hopes given of her ultimate recovery. MR, EDWARD BAINES, OF LEEDS.—The Patriot of last night contradicts the report of this gentleman's death, which we copied into our columns from the Manchester Examiner. It states that he still survives, although not the slightest hopes are entertained of his recovery. L .~ r_. -' LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to day was very moderate, and the show of samples by no means large, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce, as the weather is tolerably fine to-day, was in a very inactive state at Monday's quotations, and at which a total clearance was with difficulty effected. Foreign Wheat, the imports of which have been very moderato, was very slow in sale, yet the holders refused to accept lower prices. In bonded Wheats next to no thing was doing. In Barley very few transactions took place at late figures. There waa a lair retail demand for Malt, ready fur delivery, at very full prices. Oats, Beans, and Peas were in steady request, and late rates were well supported in every instance. Indian Corn and Flour were slow in sale. ARRIVALS.. Wheat. 5,850 gya. English ......

A full average supply of Beasts, as to number, was on sale in this morning's market; but the general quality of the stock was inferior. On the whole, the Beet trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quotations—those for the best Scots being 4s to 4s 2d per 8 lbs. There were on offer 15 Beasts from France, 54 ditto from Por tugal, 209 ditto from Holland and Germany, together with 1,580 Sheep and Lambs, and 406 Calves from the latter countries. Although the Lumbers of Sheep were good, the demand for that description of stock was some what active, at extreme rates of value. Prime Down Lambs moved off briskly at an advance in the currencies of 2d per 8 lbs. Otherwise the Lamb trade was firm, at full prices. Calves met a very dull inquiry, but we have no decline to notice in the quotations. In Pigs scarcely any business was transacted. Mulch Cuws were heavy, at from 15/ to 18/ each.

MIDDLESEX lIOSPITAL.—A general Court o f the Governors of the Middlesex Hospital was held yesterday morning, at the temporary board room, 27, Charles' street, Homers-street; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was in the chair. Mr. Smith brought before the Court the new co d e o f l aws that had been agreed upon by the monthly board. The severul alteratioos proposed to be made in the rules were put to the Court ; the only one upon which much discussion ensued was the / which altered the subscribers' right of voting to three months after having paid his subscription, instead of ail; months as at present. The Duke of Cambridge inquired whether proper notice had been given of the p ro posed alterations ? The Hon. Captain Maude said that notice had been posted in the hospital beyond the usual time , and full notice had been given by advertisement daily newspapers. Mr. Probert said that might bt the case, but the hospital was in such a state of confusion, in consequence of the enlarging of the institution, that when he went in he was glad to g 6 out again as quickly as possible, without stopping to look at the notices on the board. He knew that the committee had done what they considered the best, but he thought it would be premature to pass the laws now. The Duke of Cambridge said the, the governors would now have th e b ene fi t o f a co de 01 laws which the committee had drawn up with great care , if they were passed. lie thought it would be unwise to defer them for three months longer; they could give the committee power t• make them, and it there was ail' thing wrong it could be altered. The resolution we e then put to the vote, and was carried. The considers' Loa of the question referred to the medical school WO postponed until the next court. The Duko of COI' bridge inquired what would be the expenses of the pro' sent alterations making in the hospital, how many adds" tional wards the institution would contain when finished , and the number of patients it would hold? The H 0 0: Captain Maude said there would be three additions' wards, the expense would be about 15,0001., and accoor modation would be made for 290 patients; the ventils' tion would be improved, and the building would h e secured against the danger of fire. In fact, when cal ; pleted, it would be a model for all other h os pit a l s . 0 1 Royal Highness said he was delighted to hear how prol; perously the institution had gone on l ate l y . A vot e 0' thanks to the Duke of Cambridge for his kindness presiding closed the proceedings. BIRTHS. At Titchfield, on the 26th ult.. the wife of R.
