The provisions of the " Act for the better preven tion of Crime and Outrage in Ireland " will at length be rigidly enforced. The Earl of CLARENDon, w h o throughout the whole of the trying period during which he has been i nvested with the Vice-royalty o f the sister kingdom, has exhibited the greatest for bearance in bringing into operation the enormous powers with which he wa s intrusted, has discove re d that prompt and vigorous action can no longer be dis pensed with, and that it was absolutely- essential, if not for the maintenance of the connexion between the two countries, at least for the preservation of many valuable lives, that would necessarily be sacrificed in the event of any attempted outbreak—however speedily it might be crushed—to arrest the progress of treason, and to enforce obedience to the Government of the country. It was time that a systematic and organized violation of the law should be suppressed, and that the sedition-mongers who for their own base pur poses stimulated a too excitable population to acts of hostility against their best friends, and also the un fortunate dupes who listened to the insidious advice of the tempters, should be taught that the majesty of the law must b e res p ec t e d, a nd that any attempted violation thereof would most assuredly be followed by the infliction of severe and well-merited punishment. The painful but necessary stephastherefore been taken. Proclamations hav e issued, ro bringing hdB the cities Drogheda, of Dublin, Cork, Waterford, and and also certain baronies in Cork and Waterford e under: the operation of that salutary law, and it is certain that published f ur th e r proclamations will be without any delay, calling upon all persons within the disturbed districts, who shall not obtain licenses for o i tion of fire-arms and other weapons sur render the same into the hands t d O ooefrioeffeernscaee t r etee. for that purpose, within a limited period, and exposing; all those who neglect or refuse to obey such directions to the stringent penalties prescribed by the statute. Similar proceedings will alio be adopted in every other locality where seditious clubs have been or ganized,i and where the well-disposed and loyal in habitants are kept in a state of terror and excitement from the acts of those misguided men who seek to involve their unhappy country in al the horrors of on internecine war. We cannot censure the Irish Government `for haN dug so long refrained from taking these, decisive ' steps. It was a laudable and praiseworthy effort to g( ►v ern the country by its ordinary laws. When the ieasure was before the Legislature it was declared ►,hat the new enactments would not be re sorted to except in cases of overwhelming necessity, and that pledge has been most honourably and faith fully redeemed. We believe that no person, of any political creed or party, could venture to assert that the Government are not fully justified in the course they have so tardily and so reluctantly adopted. Had there been less excitement in other lands—had not a species of insurrectionary epidemic prevailed throughout the whole of the European continent, it is more than probable that the temperate, but firm, administration of Lord CLARENDON would have restored tranquillity to the island, and that it would have been chiefly remarkable for the vast improve ments effected in the social condition of the country — the establishment of a more solvent proprietary—a better description of agriculture, and the gradual development of every branch of industry by which that great desideratum, full employment, would have been afforded to the labouring population. "Sed Diis aliter visum." The great end and object of his government was frustrated by the momentous events which, following each other with such unprecedented rapidity, tested the stability of the domestic institu tions of every European nation, shook the several thrones to their very foundations, and menaced the existence of the established monarchies. At such a period, it may readily be supposed that even a more phlegmatic people than the Irish would have sur passed the bounds of sobriety, prudence, and discretion. An enthusiastic and talented, but most mischievous man, took advantage of the opportunity to fan the smouldering fire into a blaze. He cast aside every species of disguise, openly avowed his hatred to the English connexion, and almost daily gave undis guised expression to sentiments the mere utterance of which, even in a secret assembly of his co-con spirators, would have cost him his life under any other Government and any other code of laws than that which it is the boast of Britons to live under. The idea of repeal was abandoned, or at least was merely retained for the purpose of maintaining their influence over the more timid and wavering politicians. The real object was separation, and the establishment of an Irish Republic. The transient and evanescent gleam of sunshine that followed the special com missions, when the juries of Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary so nobly discharged the duty they owed to their country, too speedily passed away, and the political horizon again became overcast with clouds that portended the coming tempest. Plans for the approaching contest were weekly promulgated in a journal established for the purpose ; the most ap proved weapons of destruction were pointed out ; the praises of the pike—which had attained too painful a celebrity in the insurrection of 1793 were chaunted with the utmost enthusiasm, and all classes were called upon to arm themselves, so as to be ready to strike a blow against England and the English , when the fitting season arrived. The advice so given was too generally adopted. Clubs were formed for the purpose of arming and drilling the people. But still the Government maintained its tranquil position. The enforcement of an old statute, most properly brought into operation for the occasion, and the punishment of a very few of those communicat ing or receiving illegal instruction in military tactics, was sufficient to abate one of those nuisances, and to prevent the people from playing at soldiers without lawful warrant. The assimi lation of the law of England and Ireland, the reduction of an offence from high treason to more humble felony, brought the head and front of the confederacy within the operation of the law, and sent him to expiate in exile the crime of which he had been guilty. Others who attempted to follow in his footsteps were arrested and committed for trial, and it was hoped that the examples thus afforded would be sufficient to restore the general body to some degree of sanity. But the disease had taken too deep a root—the organization was too complete, and projects were entertained for the rescue of the prisoners, and an immediate insurrectionary move ment, which was only delayed until the progress of the harvest would provide food for the insurgents, and funds for the contemplated Provisional Govern ment. No course, therefore, remained but one—all conciliatory means had failed—more vigorous steps were therefore rendered necessary. These have been taken, and we confidently anticipate that the result will be the triumph of peace and order, and the prompt suppression of the insurrection that has vir tually existed in Ireland for some months past. While the attention of Europe has been distracted elsewhere by more startling occurrences, Germany has pressed steadily onward towards the settlement of the great problem of her nationality. The patriotic war raging in the heart of Lombardy, and on the frontiers of the Venetian territories, may have been invested with a more brilliant eclat—the expedition fitted out for the incorporation of Schleswig with the neighbouring principality of Holstein may have ap peared to be more intimately associated with the for tunes of the Confederation—the defensive battles of Denmark, the slaughter of the insurgents in Paris, and the massacre of the Neapolitans by the lazzaroni, were circumstances so astounding in their suddenness, and in the two latter instances so horrible in their fero city, that to the more tranquil observer everything else sank, for the time being, into comparative insig nificance. Now, however, that the torments of the late paroxysm appear to be subsiding among the re volutionized nations of the continent, we are enabled to examine with some suitable degree of attention the less noisy and less ostentatious proceedings which have recently transpired in the imperial city of Frankfort. Perhaps in the whole of those extraordinary occur rences which have rendered the commencement of 1848 memorable among the most memorable years since the day of the Redemption—perhaps in the whole of those extraordinary occurrences, we any, not one can be mentioned more remarkable in itself, more invested with the pomps of that majesty which survives in the records of the historian, or more calculated to affect, in a conspicuous manner, the future of the whole of Christendom, than :the election, the acceptance, and the reception of the Archduke JOHN of Austria as Vicegerent, Protector, or Lieutenant-General of the great Germanic Confederation. By that momentous decision on the part of the United Diet of Allemania, the destiny of its august nationality is determined either for good or for evil, There was no longer a chance for remaining stationary—it had become necessary for Germany to advance or to retrograde. And Germany has advanced. She has advanced at the bidding of the representatives assembled together to decide as to the manner and nature of her constitu tion. She has advanced, and at her head—in the van of that glorious movement —she has placed the Archduke JOHN of Austria as her leader, holding aloft in his hand the banner of Germany, the tricolour—red, black, and gold—symbolic of the union, and the glory, and the greatness of the fatherland. On mature thought we are satisfied that a wiser resolution could scarcely have been adopted by the Parliament of those forty kingdoms and principalities. To the theoretical politician it may seem a feasible idea to construct out of these numerous and incongruous states an elaborate instrument of government which without jar or hitch, shall exercise imperial authority, no w at Munich, now at Be rlin , and new at Vienna, : according as the rulers of Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria succeed each other in rotation to the diadem of united Germany.* To the practical statesman, nevertheless, such hypothetical forms of administration appear only in their true light, namely, as puzzles, worthy of examination in a diplomatic thesis, but as most assuredly unfitted for actual experiment. If it be only remembered for an instant how enormous were the responsibilities hanging over the Diet s ilemnly congregated under the dome of the cathe dral church of St. Paul's, in Frankfort-on -the-Maine, it will be acknonledged at once that the selection of the Archduke JOHN as Regulator or _Regent of the Confederation was, all circumstances considered, the best calculated to lead the common fatherland to se curity and happiness. True, the Archduke is no statesman; neither is he a distinguished soldier, like his illustrious brother the late Archduke CHARLES, for it can never be forgotten that while the latter ac quired renown, if not victory, in fighting against the armies of NAPOLEON, the former lost the battle of '' See, for an explanation of this, an ingenious pam phlet called " Wh o i s to b e the Emperor of Germany? " pp. 32. London, John 011ivier, 1848. Hobenlinden while MOREAU was struggling onward among the vallies of Switzerland. Beyond this deficiency in military and administrative genius, it is, moreover, undeniable that the Archduke JOHN, the newly-elected Protector of Ger many, is to a certain extent incapacitated from forwarding to the utmost limits the aspirations of his fellow-countrymen, by the fact of his being no longer animated by the sanguine and robust tempera ment of youth ; fur the Archduke JOHN is an old man, being now in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Still his three score years and seven are valuable as affording a criterion of his character, seeing that throughout the whole period of his existence he has maintained the same honourable and enviable reputa tion, as a large hearted, liberal-minded, patriotic German Prince. He has been to the house of Hapsburg what the late Duke of SUSSEX was to the house of Brunswick—a lover of demo cratic ideas, notwithstanding the blood-royal in his veins. And in reference to the feeling with which the uncle of the reigning Empe ror of AUSTRIA has always regarded the cue ition of the Germanic nationality, we may mention, as suffi ciently significative, an incident which occurred some years back at a grand banquet, given in one of the great cities of the Confederation. Toast after toast was pledged by the banqueters—" Long live Saxony !" "Long live Prussia !" "Long live Bavaria !"—when at last the Archduke JOHN arose, and, lifting Ilia cup above his head, spoke thus—" Not Long live Saxony ! Long live Prussia! Long live Bavaria! say I—but Long live our Fatherland—ONE GERMANY !" The dream of the Archduke is being realised. In his old age, he is summoned by the voice of that fatherland to Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and in the streets of that ancient city 'of the Emperors he is welcomed as the first Vicegerent in modern times of that One Ger many. As an additional evidence of the sincerity of his patriotism, the Archduke JOHN has already inau gurated his Administration by the nomination of three liberal statesmen, quite irrespective of country. He has named SCHIMERLING (the President of the ex Germanic Diet, and Deputy from Austria), Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Interior ; General PENCKER (Plenipotentiary of Prussia in the Military Commission of the Diet), Minister of War; and HECKSCHER (a converted Jew, and an advocate of Hamburgh), Minister of Justice. Such has been the inauguration of the new German nationality ; may it be consolidated in defiance of the jealousies against which it must inevitably have to contend! Of the three most important measures in relation to Ireland, for the amelioration of the social condition of that unhappy land, it has been decided that two are to be postponed until next year, while the assent of the Lords is, if possible, to be obtained to the amendments introduced into the Incumbered Es tates (Ireland) Bill, which it is hoped may become the law of the land before the prorogation of Par liament. We are by no means disposed to under value the beneficial results that may fairly be ex pected from the operation of this moat salutary measure, which may be regarded as the master key to unlock the industry of the sister kingdom, to afford her the blessings of a solvent proprietary, able to discharge efficiently the duties incidental to the possession of property, and to develop the manifold natural resources of the coun try. The fearful incumbrances by which the exer• tions of the nominal proprietors are paralysed have long been regarded by those who have maturely con sidered the question as one of the chief evils under which Ireland has long groaned. Improvements that would yield a most ample return for the outlay, and which would afford abundant employment to the people, have been indefinitely postponed, because the overseers of estates have been reduced to the condi tion of persons receiving small annuities thereout, who were unable to apply any portion of their scanty incomes either to the proper cultivation of the land, or to the promotion of the prosperity and welfare of the occupants. Even the unembarrassed holder of an entailed estate, (and it is, unfortunately, too notorious that the great majority of lands in Ireland are in cluded in settlements which give but life interests to the inheritors), is seldom enabled to do adequate justice thereto. He cannot sell any portion to improve the residue, although such a disposition may be productive of the greatest benefit, aswell to the portion sold as to that stil lretained in his hands. Most probably he has a family of younger children, who at his death will be reduced to com parative penury, and everything he can save from his annual income is naturally put by, in order to save those children from absolute poverty, rather than, by improving the lands, to increase. the wealth of his suc cessor in the estate. The tenantry then are neglected, their interests disregarded, and the utmost amount that can be extorted is unhesitatingly wrung from their industry. If the tenant is a man of good character, who keeps his holding in what is termed good heart, and increases the value of the reversion, he cannot afford to pay so high a rent as will readily be offered by a less conscientious person, who will exhaust the, fertility of the lands, and perhaps in a few years return it greatly depreciated in value to the hands of the landlord. If preset income was not the chief object of the latter, such a state of things would not for a moment be tolerated, and other elements would enter into the calculation besides the amount of rent promised. But this is not the case. The younger children unprovided for are the objects of his solici tude, and not his heir or his tenantry, and every other motive is absorbed in the paramount one of making adequate provision for their wants and exigencies. If this be the case with the unembarrassed tenant for life, how much more so is it with one who can only retain for his own use a small portion of the pro duce of his lands ? Every exertion must be devoted to keeping down the interest of the charges and in cumbrances affecting the property, which, if neglected, will deprive him even of the scanty subsistence he still obtains, and transfer his property to the care of a still worse landlord (for in the lowest depths there is a deeper still), the Receiver of the Court of Chancery, who, restricted by the stringent rules and regula tions of the Court, endeavours only to collect the rents, without the slightest consideration for any improvement, awl only desires to preserve himself from falling under the censure of the Court, and' being mulcted in heavy costs, for any departure from that primary object. There are at the present moment estates producing an annual rental of not less than one million sterling which have been consigned to that " slough of despond," and a mere casual traveller may readily discover in the dilapidated condition of the buildings, the neglected and uncultivated ap pearance of the lands, and the dejected and hopeless air of the peasantry—the evidences of that untoward state of affairs—that the property has passed under the management of the Court of Chancery. When matters have reached this point there is but one remedy—the immediate sale of the incumbered estate, or of a suffi cient portion thereof to satisfy the incumbrances, and it is a mercy to all parties concerned, as well to the incumbrancers as to the broken-down and ruined inhe ritor, and still more to the oppressed and impoverished tenantry, to effect the transfer with the least possible delay and expense, and also with the greatest possible security to the purchaser, which improved security will, at the same time, increase the amount of the purchase-money, and diminish the heavy costs so uselessly expended in the investigation of titles. Every consideration, therefore, demands that the pre sent Bill for the sale of incumbered estates, which will facilitate these objects, and which, if not perfect in itself, at least constitutes a good basis for future legislation, should be passed into law during the pre sent session. It is, however, much to be regretted that the other measures have been postponed, althoush for a brief period. The Landlord and Tenant Bill may be re garded as a twin measure, which should have pro ceeded pari passu with that for the sale of incum bared estates. The latter will give a proprietary able and willing to effect ameliorations, the former would encourage improvements by the tenantry themselves, by ensuring to the occupants that they themselves, or their families, would be permitted to enjoy the fruits of their industry either in the shape of a prolonged tenure of their h o ldi ng s, or of pecu niary compensation if they should be ejected therefrom, or their rents unduly raised in consequence of their own ameliorations. It is unnecessary to expatiate upon the stimulus that would thus be given to honest industry—the improvement that would thereby be effected in the condition of the occupiers of land, and, as a natural consequence, in the peace and tranquillity of the kingdom in general. Every man who had a claim for unexhaustal improvements, would have given a hostage to the State for the propriety of his future conduct. The Bill for the improvement of the elective franchise in Ireland was, indeed, much needed, and its w ithdrawal will occasion much dis content, and that at a period when it was most desirable to avoid every well-grounded cause of complaint. The proposition of the Chief Secretary for Ireland was received as an instalment of justice. It would have considerably enlarged the number of county electors, who at present are in the proportion of but one voter to every 123 persons—a simple fact which will impress upon every mind the rrecessity for an alteration without the need of further argument. We will hope, however, that early in the ensuing session we shall see new measures of reform for the whole of the United Kingdom, which may go far to remove the present discontent that so generally prevails amongst the unrepresented portion of the community. i r 4 1~ MALTA. The board of health of this island, has, in con sequence of the appearance of the cholera in Con stantinople, issued the following new quarantine regulations : " Ships of war from Constantinople, having a medical officer on board, must pass here in quarantine, 12 days.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The election of a new President of the National Assembly, in the room of M. MARIS, appointed Mi nister of Justice, took place yesterday. The candi dates were M. ARMAND MARRAST and M. LACROSSB. The latter gentleman was put forward by the reac tionary party as being likely to make a better fight than M. DurAuss, one of the former Ministers of the ex King Louis PairArrE, whom the Poictiers Club had originally intended to start. At the close of the balloting the numbers were— For M. ARMAND MARRAST 4ll For M. LACROSSE M. ARMAND MARRAST was therefore declared duly elected. This gentleman has ceased to be Mayor of Paris. That city is now under the go vernment of the Municipality, which has been re-ur ganized by General CAYAIGNAC, who has nominated M. TROUVR CuauTAL Prefect of the Seine, and M. Ducoux Prefect of Police, with M. O'REILLY (convicted of political offences under the ORLEANS dynasty) as Chief Secretary. The purchase of the Lyons Railway by the Go vernment is completed, the price paid is 150 francs, in fives, per share. The Sub-Committee of Commerce, will, it is thought, recommend the payment of a minimum bounty of three per cent. upon the exportation of goods the produce of France. The four military Commissions appointed for the trial of the insurgents met yesterday at the Palais de Justice for the first:time. The Committee on the Laws of the Press has de tertnined in favour of the principle of a deposit of caution-money by a majority of ten to five. The Finance Committee has rejected the proposi tion for imposing a tax on mortgages. It is said that the Committee will recommend the imposition of an income-tax, nearly upon the plan adopted in England. BOURSE, PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19.

The Berlin Nachrichten, of the 16th, says, the old ultra:nontane influence which has so long existed in Munich is disappearing, and Bavaria now recog nises that an intimate alliance with Prussia will be the strongeat link in the chain which binds Germany together. By the union of these two states it will be impossible for Austria not to join in the general union of Germany, and the danger will be avoided of Austria's re-transferring the central point of the empire to Vienna. AUSTRIA. The Archduke JOHN has returned to Vienna, ac companied by M. HERKSCLIER, Minister of Justice of the Empire. The Archduke returns to Frankfort on the 20th. Ti UN GARY. Intelligence was received at Pesth on the Bth July, of an engagement between the Hungarian general, Count BECHTHOLD, and the insurgents. The Hun gariang gained the day, and the insurgents lost about 300 men. The commandant :of the fortress of Paterwaradin has proclaim e d mar tial law, disarmed all th e inhabi tants, and threatens them with bombardment if they again sound the tocsin. An entire Hungarian battalion deserted to the insurgents. A dreadful carnage took place at Neusatz, on the sth, between the Hungarians, consisting of troops of the line and mobiles, and the Rajka insurgents. Ths. latter lost 250 men and the former 19. On the 10th the Chamber of Deputies of Hungars constituted itself by nominating a president; on the 11th, KossuTu, the Minister, addressed the House in an animated speech which lasted for two hours, in the course of which he detailed all the mea sures which the Ministry had adopted during the last four months to secure the independence of the country. None of the Members spoke after him. The President read the resol u ti on th a t th e na ti o n should raise 200,000 soldiers and 42,000,000 o f fl o rins, as a present re source, and a levy of 40,000 soldiers and from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 florins was voted. WIRTEMBURG. It is announced that the King of WIRTEMnVKG is about to abdicate in favour of the CROWN PRINCR. POLISH RUSSIAN FRONTIERS. The cholera, which has exhibited more than ordi nary symptoms of virulence, is said to have broken and that the Esti.Elton, in order to diminishou a t Riga, the chances chances of its ravages upon his ad vanced columns, has ordered the troops on the march to suspend their movements. The unusual sicknes' which prevails in the garrison of Posen has led to the apprehension that the calamity has also appeared in that city. PASSAGE OP THE PRUTiI BY THE RUSSIANS. A letter, dated Cronstadt, Transylvania, June 30, announces, as a pcsilve fact, that after the abdication of Prince Binasco, in consequence of the defiance of Russia by the new Wallachian Government, three regiments of Cossacks and 32 pieces of artillery crossed the Pruth. The Government of Wallachia was making great preparations for resistance. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. A deputation from Venice, arrived on the 11th, at the head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT, at Rover bells, to announce to him officially the annexation of Venice and the Venetian provinces to th© kingdom of Northern Italy. The Italia de Popolo of the 14th says, that it is reported that the Austrians intend to attack the line of the Brenta. If they should obtain posses sion of Chioggio, Venice will be cut off from her supply of water. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships sat •to day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chuncellur, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. THE MARQUIS OF BREADALUANE V. M'OREOOR.-JUDG• MENT. Their Lordships gave judgment this morning in this appeal from the decision of the Court. The case was argued before their Lordships a week ago, and the following are the facts out of which the appeal arose. The proprietors and tenantry northward ot the Grampians, and those dealing with them, have been in the practice of driving sheep and cattle to and from the fairs or markets of Scotland and England along two lines of drove roads. One of these limes is through the Grampians by I)rumochter, Athol, and Crieff, and is used for the cattle and sheep from the counties of Sutherland and Caithness, and from the northern and eastern portions ot the counties of Ross and Inverness; the other line is by Glencoe, the Blackmount, and Cal lender, and is used for the cattle and sheep from the western portion of Perthshire, the north and western portion of Perthshire, the north and western portions of Argyleshire, and the south and western portions of the shires of Ross and Inverness, and including most of the western islands, and even a portion of Sutherlandshire. This drove road by Glencoe and the Blackmount was used for driving sheep and cattle, as above described, long before the public road was formed, and it has continued to be used down to the present time in the same way as before. At in tervals of about ten miles along these roads there were resting places for the cattle called stances, for the use of which, if they thought fit to use them, the drovers paid a small acknowledgment. At Inverouran the drove road leaves the present public . road for about two miles. It runs through the drove stances in dispute, and has been used as a part of the drove road for the sheep and cattle from time immemorial. Shortly before 1745 a military road was, with the necessary enginee r i ng d ev i at i ons, made under the authority of Parliament, on or along the line of the former and ancient drove road, which afterwards became the road by which the cattle and the sheep were driven. There are fixed rates of charges for every hundred sheep and every score of cattle attached to each stance, gene rally ls. 6d. for every hundred sheep, and the like for every score of cattle. The present process relates to a drove stance on the said drove road by Glencoe and the Blackmount. The road passed through the property of the Marquis. The respondents claimed, either as pro proprietors or tenants of land situated in the said dis tricts, that the Marquis should maintain these stances, which they maintained had become rights by immemo rial usage; but they did not admit that they were bound to use the stances should they be maintained. The Marquis was about to make some alteration in his pro perty, and proposed to remove the stances at Inverouran. This would be, to make the day's journey or travel for sheep and cattle from Kings-house to Clifton, a distance of seventeen miles, which it was alleged was beyond the physical capacity of the animals consistently with safe and judicious driving. The Marquis insti stitutid a suit for an interdict to prevent the use of the place at Inverouran as a stance; the respondents set up their claim to have it so continued, and the Court of Session decided in their favour, and from that decision the Marquis of Breadalbane appealed. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell gave their judgments this morning seriatim, at some length, all concurring in opinion that the jitter locutor appealed from was incorrect, ordering it to be reversed, and remitting the case back to the Court of Session.—Judgment reversed. FARMER V. FARMER, AND FULHAM V. MICARTIIY. These two appeals also stood in their Lordships' paper for judgment, but The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed going] into them till Monday. THE PRINCIPAL OP GLASGOW COLLEGE V. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL. Their Lordships were occupied the remainder of the morning with the arguments in this appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, direct ing certain references to the Master. The case appears likely to occupy their Lordships several days. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) In the case of Mr. Gore, convicted in February of a nuisance in the parish of St. Luke's, The ASSISTANT JUDGE stated, that upon his last visit of inspection to the site of the laystull, he found that all the rubbish had been cleared away, and the nuisance was abated. The defendant might now be discharged from his bail, on payment of the costs to which the parish had been put in prosecuting. Mr. PARRY, on the part of the parish authorities, re• turned thanks to the Learned Judge for his energy and attention in the case, to which the removal of the nui sance was mainly attributable Henry Richardson was indicted for assaulting a police man, named lusted, in the execution of his duty. Mr. U'l3arierr stated that he was instructed to forego the prosecution if the prisoner would enter into his own recognizance* to keep the peace. Mr. WILD, who was for the prisoner, expressed his regret that he could not persuade his client to agree to the offes. The prisoner persisted in refusing the proffered com promise, although he was strongly advised by Mr, Clarkson and other barristers, as well as by several per ions in the court. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said that he had his option to escape the risk of a trial, and go out of court upon his own undertaking that he would behave himself in future. If the jury should have the trouble of going into the inquiry and should find him guilty, it would then be too late to appeal to the Court for mercy. The prisoner vv.ss Immoveable, and said " I am not guilt)." All the witnesses on both sides were ordered out of court, and the trial proceeded. The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 27th of June last, the prisoner and a number of other persons were making a disturbance outside the D'Ojley Arms in Leader-street, Marlborough- road, Chelsea. The witness interfered, when he was violently assaulted by the prisoner, who, in the course of the scuffle, kicked him. Henry Notley, another constable, confirmed the pro secutor's evidence. Four young men who were in the p r i soner ' s com p an y on the night in question, distinctly contradicted the statements of the policemen. These witnesses were all agreed in swearing that the prisoner did not kick the prosecutor at all, but that, on the contrary, the latter pulled him to the ground and dragged him on his back along the ground fur twenty yards in ttshameful manner. Thu jury, however, found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment. Edward Foy was indicted for an assault on John Richardson, on the 24th of June last. The prosecutor, who is a musical-instrument-maker, stated, that on the day named he was passing . through Cromer -street, when the defendant came behind hun, knocked him down, kicked him, and bit him on the cheek. When the prosecutor was released from him, the prisoner jumped into a cab and drove otT. The police pursued him, and he was taken into custody. It was attempted by Mr. MILLER, for the defence, to get from the prosecutor the admission that he was a prize-fighter, that he owed money to the prisoner, that they had a fair stand-up fight. He denied having had any dealings whatever with the prisoner, and swore that he knew nothing of any provocation whatever for the attack. Two witnesses corroborated his statement, but two others swore that ho parties met in Cromer-street, exchanged abusive language, and then blows. The ASSISTANT JUDGE, summed up, and the jury found him Guilty. The JUDGE, comm enting on his conduct with grea t severity, sentenced him to be imprisoned two mouths, to pay a fine of 25/., and to give security himself in 801., 'rid two others 40/. each, to keep the peace for twelve months. LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.) Frodsham, was charged before Mr. Nurton, the sitting magistrate with having assaulted several female., snd also the police. V 206, proved that the prisoner struck him violently ever the left eye, and that he now felt the pain most acutely. Other witnesses were examined, one of whom proved the prisoner offered the policeman ss. to let him off, which he, of course, refused. The prisoner, in answer to a question from the magis trate, said he had taken too much wine, and did not know what he was doing. The magistrate said, being a special constable, that instead of assaulting the police, he should have been one to assist in protecting them; he, therefore, must inflict fine of 3/., or one month's imprisonment. Several other cases were gone into, but nono of any public interest. DEATHS Timm DROWNlNG.—Yesterday Mr. W. Carter held inquests on the bodies of two youths of twelve years each. The first case was that of rnornas Bose, whose father, when living, belonged to the Second Life Guards. He was drowned whilst ba'hing. The second case was that of a lad named Alexander Lee, of poor parents, who, while swim ming a small boat off the timbers at the lower side of Waterloo- bridge, on Sunday afternoon last, fell into eight feet of water. Verdicts in both cases " Accidental death." Upwards of 20 cases of drowning have re quired the attendance of coroners and juries on the banks of the Thames during the present month. BORIDIG FOR WATER......" If you please, Sir, the man's called again for the water-rate."--funch. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUART'S'? TO 7 'MEE The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very brisk; sales 6,000 to 7,000 bales. American realized 31d. to 51. d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened with great spirit, and prices were generally higher. The Britannia steamer has not brought yet the rati fication of the Mexican treaty, but the delay excites no uneasiness, because it arises simply from the non•arrival of the gentleman officially charged in the matter. The latest items of commercial interest from New York ap pear to be these:— " The commercial classes are comparatively easy in all their financial affairs, and the demand does not come from them, neither is there any steady natural demand from any source of any importance ; but it is the im mense amount uf capital locked up that creates the strin gency so much complained of during the past week or two. The payments in the shape of interest on Go vernment and State loans, dividends from incorporated companies, and the liquidation of loans fulling due, in connexion with the large sums called in on account of loans just created, have required a larger amount of money than ever known at any previous period within the history of the country. The temporary withdrawal of such a large sum from the usual channels of trade, could not but have produced a temporary stringency in the market, and it is probable that its duration will not be long enough to create any very serious embarrassment commercialin circles. " It will be perceived that the shipments of specie for the month have been nearly equal to thcse of merchan dize. The exports to Great Britain have been about 50 per cent. of the aggregate, and the balance has been divided in small sums in shipments to other countries. The shipuients, including specie, have been large for the month; but the excess has been in the precious metals. The value of merchandise exported in June was 109,332 dollars less than in May, and of specie 377,281 dollars less. The amount of specie exp,,ried in the first six months of 1848 was 7,926,454 dollars, and of merchan dise 14,558.316 dollars, making en aggregate of 22,484,770 dollars. The sales of Wheat last week in the towns which regulate the duties were 113,478 quarters. The Indigo sales were brought to , a close yesterday afternoon, and went off much better than was expected, seeing the general badness of trade. Good and fine shipping went at 2d. to 3d. per lb. lower, and Madras good and fine 2d. to 3d. per lb. higher. The Public Securities have been very agitated again this morning, and there is an extensive speculative business doing. Consols have been 87/ to 874 for Transfer, and 874 to 4 fur Account.
