We directod the public attention some time since to the meagre and unsatisfactory character of the Report of the Secret Committee of the House of Commons on the Bank Charter Act, and the causes of the commercial distress—a report which sinks into utter insignificance when compared with the able and convincing document which subsequently emanated from the Committee of the House of Lords on the same subject, and nearly on the same data; for with few exceptions the same witnesses were ex amined in each instance. The report of the Lords was given with dignity and impartiality. There was a close and accurate analysis of the more important parts of tlse evidence adduced before them, the statements relating to the subject under consideration made by the various witnesses, not only of those who were favourable to the views of the majority of the Committee, but also of those who were most strongly opposed thereto, were given in detail, and a decided and unequivocal conclusion ar rived at and distinctly and positively set forth. No portion of the subject-matter referred to them was evaded or shirked. The public were informed what they, the Committee, believed to be the causes of the commercial distress, and the nature and extent thereof, and the grounds on which they had formed their opinions were also set forth clearly and explicitly, 30 thatevery person was enabled to judge for himself how far their deductions are warranted by the premises. They also showed how far that distress had been affected by the laws for regulating the isue of bank notes, pay able on demand, in the very terms of the reference, thus satisfying the object for which the inquiry had been instituted. In fact, the report bore the character of the clear judgment of a judicial tribunal, which had no object but the attainment of truth, and which was wholly unbiassed by any former prejudices. How different, however, was that of the Committee of the House of Commons ? If the Lords acted us dignified and unprejudiced judges, whose opinions, although they might possibly be er roneous, must 'till command respect and atten tion, the others acted the part rather of keen and wily 12.wyers who had been retained to advocate cer- tain principles which they should support per fas aitt nefas, or, perhaps we should say, to defend a mighty criminal (the Bank Charter Act) from the grievous offences laid to his charge. Without ven turing distinctly to state that the commercial distress was not seriously aggravated by its operation, they atbempt to acquit it by implication. They could not venture to exonerate it directly of having increased the panie, and greatly contributed to the general failure of credit, more especially as they were obliged also to justify its virtual suspension, and compelled to declare that "the feeling of alarm which prevailed appeared to have been almost immediately removed by the issue of the letter addressed to the Bank of England on the 25th October by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer." They could not, however, make up their minds to con demn it upon these points—they therefore tell us of various grounds assigned by different witnesses as causes of the distress, and declare that they see no reason to doubt " that these causes had in different degrees, and in different parte of the country, pro duced the effect thus ascribed to them ;" but they most disi ngenuous l y om i t all mention of " the restric tions affecting the issue of bank notes" as among these causes, although an examination of the evi denceg will show that it was di‘tinctlyall o u e to by several of the witnesses. In this discreditable . manner they evade the decision i)omts referred to them, and although they declare e their opinion_ to be " that it is not expedient to mtahkueustatenrxylceaeldtertahteiodnutlyn the Bank Charter Act." and imposed upon them, they are silent as to how far the commercial distress had beyen affected by the operation of that Ac t. A very valuable document has recently pub lished,beenhih„ by directio n of the House o f Cornms, which throws considerable light upon the w or ki ng of that Committee, setting forth the various proceedings day by day, as they or...curred, with the several proposi tions that were made, and the different divisions that took place. There was some information previously on these points, but it was not of an authentic cha racter, or such as could have been implicitly relied on ; all doubt, however, is now removed, and we can tell how far each indiN.4dual member of the Committee Irt that emanated from th e is responsible for the rep. he endeavoured to dis general body, and how far . , ded to his charge. charge the important duties con.. +icipations from We had never any favourable an, -dearly saw the result of that investigation. We h a v i ng that it was instituted for the sole purpose of s. a question on which the public mind was serious.. excited at that period, and, under the pretext of an inquiry, avoiding all legislation on the subject. The constitution of the Committee, the well-known views and previously recorded opinions of its several members, the fact that a fair working majority consisted of persons pledged as strongly as men could be to the vicious principles of the Act of 1844, fully prepared us for a report exonerating as far as practicable the law itself and its iniquitous enactments from any considerable share in producing, or even materially increasing, the commercial distress We, however, supposed that the question would have been fairly met, and not avoided in so palpable a man ner as to seal the condemnation of the code which it was intended to protect. Nor did we suppose that the minority would have displayed such energy and determination, and contested every point so vi gorously and efficiently. Above all, we could not have imagined that in a Committee consisting of so many of the present and of the ex-Ministry, all bound down as to their decisions, there would be a majority of two only in favour of the report, and those two the putative parent and the fosterer of the Bill, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir CHARLES WOOD. Let then our banking, trading, mer cantile, and manufacturing interests know that the report of the House of Commons is virtually that of those interested parties, and let them compare the opinions of the independent and unprejudiced men who composed the minority with those which were reported to the House ; and, taking into account also the opinion of the Lords' Committee, they will see that the Bank Charter Act has been most unequivo cally condemned, and that it cannot be maintained in its present condition, notwithstanding the unflinching support of the present and of the late Ministry• out what occurred, and the of the different divisions, and the other draft reports submitted to the Committee by Messrs. CATLET and SPOONER on an early occasion. In part-fulfilment of our promise of yesterday, we proceed to make a few introductory observations upon the noble work just published from the manuscripts of Count; VALERIAN KRASINSKI—the friendL of our illustrious historian Mr. HALLAM. The work* would be a noble one if for nothing else than for the patriotism which it breathes in every sentence, and which has formed its principal inspiration. The dispute between the Germanic and Slavonic races in Europe is as old as the period of their first settlement in juxta-position. CHARLEMAGNE waged war with indifferent success against the Mora vian leader who was then the head of the Slavic fede ration to the west of the Carpathians. With the introduction of Christianity a division arose between the western and eastern Sclayes; the latter of whom became attached to the Greek Church, while the former acknowledged the supremacy of the POPE. After centuries of struggles for political independence and power, the leading characteristic that can now be traced amongst the Slavonic inhabitants of Europe is formed by this religious separation. Bohemia failed in its attempt at the epoch of JOHN Huss to conquer religious liberty, and, deprived of political independence by the results of the war of thirty years, and the peace of Westphalia in 1648, was subjected to Austrian rule with as little power of self-government as the partitioning powers afterwards allowed to Poland. The Magyars of Hungary rule the Slavonic and Ruthene inhabitants of that country. The Turks are absolute as amongst the Bulgarians and Bosnians. The Servians are partially emancipated, but are too weak to stand alone. A year back i would seem, with the exception of Russia, that the other Sla vonic nationalities had become politically ext. tinct. But the observer who had access to those countries soon discovered that this exterior, which was preserved because it answered the purpose of blunting the edge of curiosity in Western Europe, was but a hollow pretext, and that all the Slavonians incorporated into Prussia, Austria, and Turkey, not only formed distinct portions of those empires, but that their nationality possessed vitality and vigour, and would soon manifest its power. The storms of 1848 having shaken the political horizon, displayed at once the inequalities concealed beneath its arti ficial surface. The national movement in the Slavic populations became a striking feature of the whole. The Bohemians, counting their numbers, when united with the Moravians and Hungarian Sclaves, found that they amounted to more than 7,250,000. The Ruthenes, Croats, and other Sclaves of Eastern and Southern Hungary count 5,000,000. The Poles under Austria are 5,000,000, and under Russia there are 800,000. Russian Poland without the Ukraine has 5,000,000 of Polish inhabitants. All these, in number 23,000,000, profess, with few ex ceptions, the Roman Catholic faith, and therefore have no religious sympathies with the Sclaves of Russia, who, fqr the most part, are of the Greek Church. Their position towards the Germans, who do not greatly outnumber them, is such, that by con ferring political liberty upon them, they would be easily made firm allies, and would form an impene trable boundary for Germany towards Russia. But the Germans have shown a disposition to do nothing of the kind. After calling upon the Sclaves, like the other divisions of the countries recognized in Euro pean international law, to aid in the overthrow of the despotic system, the first move made in that direction was viewed with jealousy, and further progress was stopped by the assault on the assembled inhabitants of Posen, and by the attack at the barricades of Prague. On the subject of the blunder committed in both in stances, Marshal RADETZKY is very likely to open the eyes both of the Austrians and the Prussians. The question is for the moment in abeyance, await ing the re-organization of those empires which a des potic course of policy has overturned. At this moment of pause, and we think it is most opportunely selected, Count KRASINSKI presents the British reader with a short and intelligible retrospect of the relations that have ever subsisted between Sla vouians and Germans, with the numerical weight and leading bias of the nation of Slavic race. The whole of the Slavic inhabitants of Europe are estimated at 78,000,000. Of these 53,000,000 are under the Russian sceptre; 6,000,000, including the Servians, recognise Turkish supremacy ; the remainder, form ing a mass of 29,000,000, are incorporated into Austria and Prussia, and in religious and political sympathies harmonize with the Poles under Russia ; thus presenting a mass of 25,000,000 prepared to enter into the European confederacy as one or more independent states. Since with such numbers it is impossible to deal as with small fractions of races that happen to be in cluded amongst large majorities, the questions natu rally arise, which Count KaAsnislu puts simply and forcibly. Is it to the interest of the Germans to seek to per petuate a despotic dominion over such multitudes, and what must be the inevitable result of such a course? Can thirty millions of Germans, unaided by Scandi navians, English, French, and Italians, exterminate twenty millions of Slavonians, even if they desired to accomplish such a feat ? And what prospect does the anticipation of such a contest hold out to Europe? At what price is the preeminence of Germanism over Slavism to be maintained ? But suppose the Slavonians, seeing the imminence of such an internecine contest, choose to anticipate it, and waiving distinctions of creeds and tendencies, to submit to the dominion of Russia, how is the conflict to be maintained by thirty millions against seventy millions? This latter alternative is the project of Panslavism. The little that is to be gained by either of these sources for the advance of civilization is well pointed out. The danger that would be incurred is forcibly elucidated, and the true and safe middle path is recommended by Count KRASINSKI, whose volume is a most useful contribution to the history of the present stirring and eventful epoch. * " Panslavism and Germanism."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The Paris journals t.)f yesterday have been received. An extraordinary amount of anxiety begins to be entertained in regard to the condition of the mercan tile interests throughout France. No less than 7,000 failures are spoken of positively as proximate, though we cannot but regard the anticipation as both pre mature and exaggerated. In the little town of Elbouf alone, it is calculated that upwards of 11,000 out of 14,000 workmen are supported by the charitable con tributions of the municipality. In the midst of the commercial anxiety, the Pari sians are still agitated by the doubtful position of affairs on the Conlinent-autthe Astreme uncertainty rat war or a general pacification. M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed a short letter to the editor of a Macon journal, thanking the inhabi tants of that place for having elected him a Member of the Municipal Council, in the course of which he says— " For me these proofs of friendship have a more than ordinary value at the present moment. They arrive when others are leaving me. Having quitted power, for which I never had any ambition, and having quitted it without any citizen having to ask an account from me of a life, a liberty, or a fortune, I support patiently a moment of injustice and calumny, compensated already by many returns to the truth with respect to my acts, and to indulgence with respect to my person. It is of that country of whiCh I think when I wish to love more and more the great country which we all demand. I hope soon to demand, as the sole object of my ambition, a little of that leisure and that affection which give re pose alike to the mind and to the heart." Nobly spoken as those words are, they breathe of the fulness of a great and sorrowing heart. The Moniteur publishes the following notice with respect to the mission'with which M. ACHILE MURAT is said to be charged :-- " The report is spread that a representative of the people, who stated himself to be charged with a mission from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had passed the frontiers of the country of Nice, giving the assurance that a neg otiation was on foot for the union of that country and of Savoy to France. No mission of this kind had been given to any person whatsoever." On the sitting of the National Assembly of Mon day, the Bill for the establishment of an Official Journal of the Republic, which was to be distributed gratis throughout France, was rejected almost unani mously. A telegraphic dispatch was received at Brest on the 10th, ordering the Belle Poule and the Uranie frigates to be fitted up, for the reception of from 1,000 to 1,200 insurgents. From authentic information it would appear that the Committee appointed for preparing the draft of the constitution has at length settled its report. The preamble has undergone some slight modifications. With regard to the President, the report is in favour of his election by universal suffrage. General CAYAIGNAC, who was invited to give his opinion on the subject, strongly advocated the election by uni versal suffrage. The Committee maintained its first report relative to the army. M. MARRAST, the reporter, would submit his report towards the end of the week, or on Monday at farthest, and the debate would commence. on the 28th. Sir HENRY BuLwait left Paris on Monday on his return to England. The ex-Emir, ABD-EL-KADER, and his suite, are to be removed from Pau to the Castle of Amboise. MARTINEZ DB LA Rosa, the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, had arrived at Marseilles. The fourth and concluding volume of the " History of the Gauls under the Roman Administration," by AMEDEE THIERRY, is announced for speedy publi cation. The Demacratie PaciAue remarks that it is a thing worthy of observation that since the law respecting the clubs was passed, not a single club has been established. M. PRADIRN has just completed a remarkable bust of General CAVAIGNAC. There is a curious anecdote in circulation relative to a circumstance that occurred during the adjudging of premiums at the College of St. Barbe. The first prize was adjudged to the son of VICTOIL lIUGO ; the next to a youth named LB Roy, on which a cheer burst from the whole assembly, including the pupils, accompanied with reiterated shouts of " Vive le Roi." What added significance to the circumstance was the presence of General C►TAIGNAC and M. MARRAST ; whether this was a practical joke or really a demon stration of opinion, it is not easy to say. Perhaps it was both. It is, however, talked of and commented upon very much, especially in the Legitimist circles. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TIIE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Ana. 15.

Of course the prevailing emotion at Vienna con tinues to be a sort of delirious exultation on the suc cesses recently achieved by the German troops in Lombardy. The Wiener Zietung published the following report to the Minister of War " God save the Emperor,— " Honour and glory to the heroic Imperial troops in Italy. May everlasting fame surround the victories of the gallant Field-Marshal Radetzky. " Major-General Prince Lichtenstein has just arrived from Italy with the following intelligence:— " Head-quarters at Milan, Aug. 8. " The city of Milans is ours. " It has submitted to the clemency o f hi s Majesty the Emperor. This day at noon I entered it with my victorious army. " The Piedmontese troops left to-day. According to a convention concluded with them and with the city of Milan, they must by this day at seven o'clock have crossed the Ticino, and be without the boundaries of the Imperial territory. " "Two weeks have elapsed since our army entered upon the offensive at Verona. In that time it has fought famous battles at Somma-Compagna, Custozza, Volta, Cremona, and Pizzighettone. Now, on the fourteenth day, it is in poesession of the capital of Lombardy. " The army and its leaders have thus faithfully done their duty to their beloved Emperor and country, for no enemy stands on Lombardian ground. " The bearer of this dispatch to the Minister of War, Count Clam, is one of the bravest generals of the army. Another of my Gallant Generals, Prince Lichtenstein, carries a copy of the same dispatch to his Majesty the Emperor at Innspruck. " RADETZKY, Field-Marshal. " The wretched Provisional Government at Milan have been overthrown. Again does the Imperial eagle tower proudly over Milan and all Lombardian cities. " The disgraceful treachery of Lombardy to the Aus trian Government, and to the whole of Germany, has been foiled by the victorious armies of Austria. The just cause has triumphed! "God save the Emperor!" The . Vienna Cabinet i s said to have dispatched a courier to Paris hearing the following propositions as the bases of a negotiation with respect to Italy, in reply to a p eremptory d eman d f rom th e F renc h Government :-1. The liberation of Italy, if she c 2 l o . e A s n no e t n e g h a o g o e s m e e t n o t r e t m o a payu nd a p er o t r he ti s n w a o y f o t f h e A u p sutbr public debt, and the conclusion of an advantageous treaty of commerce. The EMPEROR was expected to arrive in the capital on the 12th, having left Innspruck on the Bth inst., at half past eight o'clock in the morning. Previous to his departure his MAJESTY issued the following address : _ " To my beloved Tyrolese, "Throughout the whole of my stay among you you have given many fresh proofs of your st.tdfast and justly-renowned fidelity and attachment. U n d er every c i rcums t a nce, and at this time, when the wea l o f t h e em pire demands my presence in the capital, for the discharge of my duties, I feel constrained to offer y ou my heartfelt thanks , and cordially to wish you adieu; and I further add the assurance that, though far sepa rated from you, I shall ever think of you with love, and shall ever regard you with a " feFER eling DIN AND paternal (1...5.)" affection. The Tyroleans responded to ds adieu with the most enthusiastic acclamationsot the departure of the imperial cortege. PRUSS I A. News from Berlin is up to to 12th instant. The cholera continues to scotd, hut hitherto with slow progression. The numbe of cases have reached 27 since the first eruption on )e 31st ult.

In the meantime the population of Berlin continus to increase rapidly, the statistics of the week frouthe 29th July to 4th August giving an increase 0f55 births over deaths, which is at the rate of 2,900)er annum on a popula tion of 400,000 souls. The KING started this norning for Magdeburg. The QUEEN departed neaiy at the same time to visit her MAJESTY'S twin-siser, the Princess JonN of Saxony, at Dresden. M.

The following day they marched to Bologna, which they would have reached by the Bth. The Austrian commander has issued a proclamation, in which he declares that the Austrian army has entered the Roman States for the purpose of re-establishing the authority of the POPE in a conservative sense, and according to the treaty of Vienna. The French Ambassador had offered his mediation, but had not received an -answer up to the day' of the date of his dispatch. HUNGiRY.

An Imperial ukase, lacier date of the 31st of July, orders the recruiting of seven men per 1,000 inha bitants in the Governments of the eastern moiety of the empire. The - EMPEROR was expected at Warsaw, but his journey has been portp)ned, probably in consequence of the ravages of the cholera in St. Petersburgh. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Hanoverian Morgenzeitung of the 11th says —" We learn from a good source that the armistice with Denmark is so_.A"to tt'wineed that General Ennmort that for the present he will not require a further supply of troops." COPENHAGEN, Aua 9.—The Berlingsche Zeitung of the 9th states, that throe neutral vessels have ar rived at Flensburg, but that the Greenland ships which were returning to Flensburg have been ordered to Sonderburg, and adds, for the future no vessel, without exception, will be permitted to enter the harbours of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein. Three persons have effected their escape from Odensee. The Berlingsche Zeitung demands an explanation from the Ministry of War relative to General "'EDE.. MANN'S withdrawal from the commander-in-chief; enters into the necessity of an energetic army of the people, and recommends the Minister of War to re pose the same confidence in the people as they have in his integrity, j u dgment, and pow er of action. A North American schooner has arrived from New York. The war steamer Hula and the frigate Bel lona have sailed northwards. At Elsinere, a new Russian ship of the line, and a schooner from Arch angel, arrived on the 7th. . „ FEIIMARN, AUG. 10.—At this moment (three o'clock, r.m.) two Danish men-of-war are steering towards this place. Probably, this may be owing to the present heavy gale. RENDSBURG, AUG. 11.—The first battalion of Schleswig-Holstein troops,which arrived here yester day, have been joined this morning by the second and third battalion (the 15th and 16th had arrived pre viously) to form the garrison here. The Hanover troops, as well as the recruits which compose the 7th and Bth battalion of infantry, and the 2d Jager corps, had also arrived, and are now to go to Husam and Eckernforde to be further disciplined. Our Government has restored to Hanover the two cannons kept here, which had been taken from the Hanoverian troops by the Danes in 1813. Two 24-pounder howitzers and sixty horses arrived here from Hanover on the 9th, and ware sent over to the north yesterday. ALTON..., AUG. 11.—The Frankfort and Weimar troops arrived here last night, and are quartered in this city, where at least they will find a little repose. For several days past larger or smaller transports of sick and wounded have arrived here, while re serves, powder-waggons, train-horses, cannon, &c., are constantly passing through to the north. THE ARMISTICE WITH DENMARK. The Weser Zeitung contains the following com munication from Frankfort, dated August 8 :—" The mission of General Von BELOW to Vienna has been successful. Since the arrival of the REGENT of the EMPIRE, uninterrupted communications have been carried on between the Central Power and Prussia (CAMPIIAUSEN and BELOW.)" According to all accounts since yesterday, it may now be regarded as a fact that the REGENT of the EMPIRE has been authorised to conclude an armistice, therefore, e x p ec t a sa ti s f actory termina as it can scar ce ly b e d ou b te d t h at Den no e dn n w r n e e a r re m ay, long,a w y i l accept the modifications which have been sanctioned by the English Ambassador.

LOMBARDY. - - - Notwithstanding the daring announcement con tained in some of our Contemporaries, to the effect that Milan had been fired in eight different quarters by the populace—half of the city destroyed in the conflagration — and 50,000 persons rendered destitute and houseless—the Inst accounts received from Lom bardy breathe not a syllable of the catastrophe, and are, indeed, rather consolatory than otherwise. king CHARLES ALBERT still kept his head-quar ters at Vigevano. CABALA and GIOBERTI had ar rived in the camp, where they laid before his MA JESTY the resignation of the whole of the Turin Cabinet. MEaLo, the Vice-President of the Cham ber of Deputies, and the Count DE REVEL, had been intrusted with the responsibility of forming a new administration. On the 9th instant the Austrians are said to have entered Brescia, which had capitulated on the preced ing evening. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 9th an nounces that a courier had just passed, bearing dis patches from CHARLES ALBERT to the Venetians, ad , vising them to resist, notwithstanding the capitulation of Milan, which was an inexorable necessity, but that the war continues. The Risorp,-imento of Turin, of the 10th, states that on the Bth an armistice of three days was signed between RADETZKY and . CHARLES ALBERT for ex changing prisoners. The National Savoisien of the 10th Inst. announces that the Polish General, ROMARINO, has been ap pointed Lieutenant - Genera l in the Piedmontese army, and that he is to take the command of the corps of reserve and of the volunteers. The Chevalier ERCOLE RICOTTI, who had been dispatched to recon noitre the Austrian army, had been made prisoner by them. ROME. The Patria of the 7th inst. gives the following ac counts dated Bologna, the Gth " The proclamation of the Pope has produced a general feeling in his favour. Since this morning all the bells have been ringing; the gate towards Ferrara is closed, and the Civic Guard is under arms. The Prolegato has published the following proclamation:— " ' The topographical conditions of the country, the refusal of the troops to continue a defence deemed im practicable, and the concentration on a point more de fensible, have determined me to send to the head quarters of Marshal \Velden a deputation composed of Dr. Brunetti and the lawyer Martinelli, with the fol lowing protest against the violation of the Pontifical territory by the entry of the Austrian troops into that province. This is but an act of superior force, which cannot in any way injure the plenitude and immunity of the rights of the Holy See over t hat p rovince. In the name of the reigning Sover ei g n Pontiff we will main tain safe and entire the r i g hts and titles, whatever the y be, and particularly the C ivic Guard, instituted b y the Sovereign on the 30 th of Jul y , 1847; we make full re serve for indemnities ju stified b y the fact itself, eithe r maintain directly or on account of its conse q uences.

A Tuscan Cabinet courier arrived at the Prole gate's office, Bologna, on the Gth, bearing a British protest against any invasion of the Pontifical terri tory. He soon set out again for Ferrara, and the head-quarters of Marshal WELDEN. The entry of the Austrians into Ferrara is con- TUSCANY. Intelligence up to the 6th instant has arrived from Florence. The Bishop Of MULTEPULCIANO (Tuscany) issued a pastoral letter to his diocese on the id instant, calling upon the people to take up arms in obedience to their SOVEREIGN and the distress of their country. GUERRA ZZI, the ultra-democrat, had no chance of attaining Ministerial power ; and as Baron BETTING RICCASOLI, Mayor of Florence, persisted in refusing to organize a Cabinet, the GRAND DUKE insisted that the Ministers who had resigned, among whom are some of the most esteemed statesmen, as Counts RIDOLFI and BALDOSSARONI, should remain at the head of affairs. The Ministers having declared that they would not take power unless they could calcu late on the sincere support of the representatives of the nation, the two Chambers held an extraordinary sitting in the night of the sth, and passed by accla mation a vote of confidence in the Ridolfi Cabinet. That Cabinet accordingly withdrew its resignation, and the GRAND DUKE published the following pro clamation on the 6th : " Tuscans ! if the force of arms alone could com pletely preserve us from the dangers which threaten us so nearly, it would undoubtedly be a generous resolu tion to place all hope of salvation in arms alone. But at present we should not have the certainty of being able to resist, alone and ill prepared, a conquering enemy, who has already invaded the territory of two neighbouring states, without fearing the obstacles which may check him. All hope, however, is not lost, and victory may again como to crown the confederated arms. —" The forces of Italy are not exhausted in consequence of the reverses sustained. The encouragements of Eu rope, which animated her in such a glorious enterprise, have not abandoned her. As for ourselves, we do not despair of the destinies of Italy, and Wt) are decided to persevere in the cause which has already made us asso ciate our arms to those of the King Charles Albert, from srbarh z.dpazi thstanding .out reurses, we can never sepa sustained, and to sav e th e country from r an unforeseen danger. "In thus acting, we have in nowise the:intention of compromising; honour, but t o ma i nta i n -i ntact our forces for better chances. The means are offered us in the spontaneous mediation of England and France; this me diatiOnl.gives us the confidence that the frontiers of our state will not be violated it interior order be maintained, and if the measures which the Government must and desires to take, and which it has already taken, for de fence, be executed without agitation. My Government, strong by the vote of the National Assemblies, has be lieved it right for the common welfare to accept the amicable offers of the said two powers. Tuscans! The moment is solemn; a single act of imprudence might envelop the country in fatal calami ties, the consequences of which could not be forgotten during our whole lives. Let us be united by the ties of concord to sustain the severe trials which the times im ithyotiteatousyouer an l d sh to al m l institu tions which have consolidated p u bli c lib er ty among us . a a i l n w ta ay it s i b th e e w t p o os s e us o t n ai ti n s a . n l at r io ep n e a a l On your part you promise me to labour in an efficacious manner to sustain and maintain the majesty of the laws, in order that the regeneration of Italy may not be ex. posed anew to ektreme perils. " The destinies of the country are in our hands. I will see that honour receives no injury ; but, for our part, let us save what after honour we have most dear. To the arms of the citizens I confide the guardianship of order ; let them recal to mind that in courageously resisting whoever may endeavour to excite disturbances, they will combat the enemies of the country ; for who ever desires disturbances desires the foreigner, and with him all the evils of a provoked invasion. " Given at Florence, the 6th August, 1848. " LEOPOLD. (Counter-signed) " Count RIDOLFI, President of the Council of Ministers." THE DEATH OF MR. GEORGE STEPHENSON. It is with much concern that we announce the decease of Mr. George Stephenson, the celebrated engineer. He died at his establishment in Derbyshire, on Saturday last, aged 67. Few men have obtained, or deserved, a higher reputation. lie rose from the humblest life from the elasticity of his native talent overcoming the obsta cles of narrow circumstances and even confined educa tion. In his profession he was as happy and ingenious in his discoveries as generous in imparting the benefit of them to them to the world. In the history of railway enterprise and movement the name of George Stephen son will live. The following Biography is from the Post-office Railway Directory, for 1848 " Stephenson, George, Civil Engineer, father of Robert Stephenson, Esq., Civil Engineer. The father of the railway engineers, whose improvements of the locomotive have greatly contributed to the progress of the system. Director of the Norfolk Railway, and late chairman of the Dunstable Railway; was a Director of the York and North-Midland Railway; Engineer of the Whitehaven Junction Railway, and Manchester and Buxton Railway; constructed the London and Birming. ham Railway, York and North-Midland Railway, and many other works, but of late years has resigned his chief civil engineering business to his son. An exten sive locomotive manufacturer at Newcastle, and has supplied great numbers of locomotives both here and on the continent. Justly prides himself on having, by in dustry and genius, raised himself, from a humble sta tion. Was a coal viewer, took an interest in the deve lopment of the railway system, engaged in the great Liverpool and Manchester contest, and produced the best locomotive ; from that moment took the lead in railway" engineering. . Knight of Leopold of Belgium (for railway services); F.R.S. Has been employed in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain. A large colliery owner, particularly at Clay Cross,; 24, Great George-street, Westminster, Newcastle-upon-Tyn e , Tapton-house, Derbyshire." We also copy the following account of his worthy son and successor:— " Stephenson, Robert, Civil Engineer, F.R.S., M.P. for Whitby; born 1103 ; only son o f G eorge Stephen son, Esq., Civil Engineer ; married the daughter of John Sanderson, Esq.; a celebrated railway engineer and locomotive manufacturer, the leader in the narrow guage interest; educated at Newcastle and Edinburgh; Engi. neer of the London and /forth-Western Railway, South- Eastern Railway, West London Railway, Leeds and Bradford Railway, Midland, Railway, Trent Valley Railway, Norfolk Railwayi. Aylesbury Railway, Eastern Counties Railway' I.34dford and .London and Birmingham Rail Way, Londonderry and Coleraine Rail way, Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway, Whitehaven and Furness Railway, York, 'Newcastle and Berwick Railway, Great North of England Railway, Bucking hamshire Railway, Dunstable Railway, Newcastle and Berwick Railway, Chester and Holyhead Railway, Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Railway, North Staffordshire Railway, Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway, Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway, Newmarket Railway, East and West India Dock Railway, Cork and Bandon Railway, York and Newcastle Railway, Lafield and Edmonton Railway, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Rail way, Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Railway, Shropshire Union Railway and Canal, and numerous foreign and projected lines ; Chairman of the Pontop and South South Shields Railway ; a Commissioner for the Health of Towns; Knight of the order of Leopold. Is the in ventor of improvements in the locomotive engine, and of the continuous. tube of beam bridge proposed for the Chester and Holyhead Railway. Constructed the Lon don and Birmingham Railway and Branches, Black wall Railway, Norfolk Railway, Aylesbury Railway, Dunstable Railway, Chester and Birkenhead Railway, Bedford Railway, Northern and Eastern Railway, and has now under his care, in progress, the Chester and Holyhead Railway, Lowestoft Railway, North Stafford shire, Buckinghamshire, Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, &c.; 24, Great George-street, Westminster ; 34, Gloucester-square, Hyde-park; 2, Walbrook. An omnibus is now running, we are informed, be tween the Ealing station on the Great Western and the Kingston station on the South Western Railways, pass ing through Hampton Court, Teddington, Twickenham, Richmond, and Brentford. Persons desirous of travelling on either of the above lines, living in the forenamed localities, or travellers passing from one line to the other, c an now, by adopting this conveyance, avoid the delay, igconvenience, and expen se of coining to London. OPENING OF THE MALDON, WITHAY 7 AND BRAIN TREE RAILWAY.—Thi s line railway, the property of the Eastern Counties Company, was opened yesterday for public use. It crosses the main line, or rather branches from it on each side at Witham, the portion to Maldon being about six miles in length, and the branch to Braintree eight miles. The works are now very heavy. At present it will be only worked for goods' traffic, in order that the road might be properly consoli dated for passenger trains. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Last night, at a quarter-past ten o'clock, an accident occurred, attended with loss of life, to a man connected with Bartholomew's Hospital. It appears that the deceased, who was rather in liquor, was proceeding to the City in a Clapham omnibus, which on passing through the Elephant and Castle toll gate came in contact with a Brixton omnibus coming in the contrary direction. The deceased was thrown from the roof, and he was carried into the surgery of Mr. Thomas, London-road, whose assistant, with Mr. Fair brother, a neighbouring surgeon, did all in his power; but the deceased was past human assistance; he died in a very few minutes from the time of his fall. MONEY MARHET.—The premium on gold at Paris is' 1 1 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3Z 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.42; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.321, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9 k; and , the exchange at Hamburgh on Lon d on at short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in Ham burgh than in London. MONEY and COMMER.CIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE. In the Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday the sales were 4,000 bales at about previous rates. Shares were The prospect of fine weather has a favourable effect I in the City, and if it could be insured would exercise even an important influence, so much do our men of business look to it. The great question now, how ever, is whether the potato disease has so far extended as to be incureable where it has made its appearance. On this head our accounts are not of a decisive character, but of the injury done there can be no question. The accounts from France respecting the harvest are favourable, but there is a less ample yield than was ex • pocted. From the commercial towns of France we have better advices, but there is no improvement yet in the advices from other parts of the continent. The New York and Canada letters and papers are not of very great interest, but the pressure in the money market continued, concurrently with a very dull trade in the United States, as is usual at this season of the year. The crops of grain and cotton are so abundant, and prices rule so moderate in America, that we may expect fair supplies; although the rate of exchange is already more in favour of the New York merchant, being reduced to 1091 and 109. That Europe cannot suffer without America being affected we may judge by the following extract:— " The whole of Europe is in a terrible condition, and our only hope is, that Great Britain may escape the blast which has swept from one end of the Continent to the other with such devastating effect. If England escape, we shall continue to find extensive markets for our products, and our prosperity will be partially pre served. Our markets on the Continent have almost become extinct, so that the worst in that particular has already been realised; but, every week or month, con sumption in that section of the world is restricted or limited—so much the more injurious must be the revo lution causing such a state of things. With the excep tion of Great Britain, our European export trade has been literally annihilated; but unfortunately, our import trade with these countries has not met with a similar fate, but on the contrary, has rather increased than other wise. Importers and speculators in this country have taken advantage of the financial embarrassments growing out of the revolution, which the manufacturers of France and Europe generally have laboured under, and have pur chased of them for cash goods at one half their cost, and have filled our markets. A portion of the specie which has been shipped from this port within the last four months went abroad for this purpose, and while our exports had become reduced to the lowest limit, and ex change drawn upon previous shipments of produce, was • w . - ---•-gted P millions of dollars of gold and silver ere going forwa rd t. _ uutua not be obtained on tee usual credit. In this way, our whole foreign trade has become deranged, and we have thus far borne the brunt of the commercial revulsions and political revolutions in Europe." The increase in the tonnage of vessels arrived at Quebec, up to July 27 this year, is 162 tons, as compared with the corresponding period of 1847. The Funds have been very steady to-day, but are re pressed by the uncertainty respecting continental affairs. Consols have been 86 to 861 for transfer, and 86+ to 891 for Account.

The speculators are rather anxious about to-morrow, when it is expected that the Bank may possibly advance the rate of discount. We do not by any means, how ever, regard this at present as a matter of certainty. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. are 111 to 12 ; the Three per Cents. 21t to 22 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 17 to 14 ; Brazilian 70 to 72 ; and Mexican 16i to 16i.
