An audit meeting was held to-day under the estate of these bankrupts, who were de,eribvd as barkers in St. Alihireds' Court, Poultry. The meetirg was pro forma, and nothing transpired as to any further dividend. IN RE G. W. M. REYNOLDS. This bankrupt, the will known author, came up for his certificate which had been adjourned for evidence, its to the disposal ~ f t ankrupt's property by bill of sale. Mr. PARRY (wi!li whom was Mr. Duncan) said he now opposed on bi half of a Mr. Wilton, but previous to the case being gone into, he desired that the names of the witnesses should be called over. Of eight only four nswered. Mr. PARRY said that some of them would, perhaps, attend, but with regard to Mr. Cuthbertson, one of the mougnees, he must apply for a warrant. Mr. Cuthbert- Son Was a person to whom a bill of sale had been given and did not attend on the last occasion although sum moned. His HONOUR said that he must have an affidavit of service made, and he would then do what was necessary to compel the witnesses' attendance. The case was then proceeded with, and was likely to last a considerable time, and in the absence of Cuthbert- Soo, will be adjourned again. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK RACES.—TIIESDAY.

The festival, annually held at either Worcester, Here ford, or Gloucester, commenced yesterday at Worces ter, and judging from appearance, it is likely that the aggregate proceeds will bo considerable. We nee d hardly remark that the pro fi, s arisin g from the periodi cal union of the three choirs aro devoted to the benefit of the widows and orphans of the poor clergymen con nected with the respective dioceses. Jenny Lind was expected at the commencement of the preparations, but although the nightingale , in the first instance, promised her services, her subsequent arrangements with Mr. Lum ley compelled her to abandon her intention, much to the disappointment of the committ ee and the probability of evil influence upon the subscriptions. However, the difficulty has been got over as well as circumstances would admit of instead. , and Alboni has been en g a g ed Besides this exquisite contralto, Madame Castellan, the elder Lablache, Mr. Finis Reeves, and Mr. Lockey, tre found in the list of vocalists, as well as Miss Dolby and the Misses Williams. The band, a very large and efficient one, has been selected from the chief metropo litan orchestras; and the chorus singers are gat hered from the local societies, in conjunction with the elite of the London professionals. The leaders are Messrs. Willy and Blagrove, and the conductor Mr. W. Done, the organist of the cathedral, upon whom has devolved the general management of the festival. The nave of the cathedral has been appropriately and conveniently fitted up for the sacred performances; and the College Ilan for the evening concerts. The musical service of yesterday consisted of Handel's Dettingen Te I)eum , Vurcell's Jubiate in D, and Mendelssohn's "As pants the hart," the sermon being preached by the Dean of the diocese; after which a collection was made at the doors for the benefit of the charity. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A little sentimental piece, called Time tries all, has been brought out at this theatre, with a success not in commensurate with its merits. The subject is a hack neyed one—that of a young lady who rejects an honest and well-meaning lover through the impulses of coquetry, but is at length brought to a conviction of the real state of her mind by the remorse she experiences when she finds the youth she has insulted and discarded on the eve of marriage with another. In depicting the vicissitudes !? . 1 feeling involved in such contrasts as these, Mrs. Stir ling has no equal, and her vivacious frivolity in the pre sent case, coupled with the bitter agonies of retribution and repentance, are but fresh proofs of her histrionic !ersatility and power over the sympathies of an audience. ..py. Leigh Murray aids her with equal cleverness, and his neat, manly elocution is well suited to unfold the sufferings of neglected and abused affection. A yawnin g exquisite and a priggish clerk are amusingly embodied by Mr. F. Vining and Mr. Cowell. The Piece, we need hardly add, has been quite successful, and the author, we believe a Mr. Courtnay—a name new to metropolitan fame —was called before the curtain on alonday night, when the piece was first produ ced, to be applaudedby the spectators. Besides this drama a new Jame has been ae.,ied to the list of novelties, entitled What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid, turning upon the ner vous terror of an old gentleman who' fancies he is in danger of being poisoned by a servant who has left his employ. The incidents are broad and improbable, but they are made diverting by the tact of Compton, Emery, and Cowell, enforced by a Mrs. Tellett, who pro mises to become an available actress in bagatelles of this class. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston entertained at dinner last evening, at their residence in Carlton-. gardens, a select circle, including his Excellency the Turkish Minister and Princess Callimaki, his Excellency the Prussian Minister and Madame Bunsen, his Excel lency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, Sir Charles and Lady Mary Wood, Sir Henry Lytton 13 niwer, Sir Augustus Clifford and Miss Clifford, Mr. Syndicus Banks, Mr. T. Wyre, &c. On Monday the Noble Viscount and Viscountess had a party, when the dinner circle comprised her Highness the Princess Bra bration, his Excellency Baron d'Andrian, his Excel lency Count Ludolf, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Howden, Lord and Lady Holland, Lord de Manley, Lady Seaford and Miss Hardy, Baron Koller, and Mr. Mandeville. A small party assembled after the banquet, his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, his Excellency M. Van de:Weyer, his Excellency M. Gustave de Beaumont, his Excellen c y Count Revel, Count l'halen, Viscount and Viscount ess Ebrington, the Earl Granville, Lord Foley, Sir Henry L. Rulwer, the Htn. Miss Eden, &c., being among the visitors. NATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CITIEEN C., RIVER ST EAMER.-Mr. Mills held an inquest yesterday at the Magpie, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, on the body or William Hiram Howard, aged 23, helmsman of the Citizen C, steam-boat, who met with a singular accident whilst steering. William Mitchell, the mate of the vessel, said that on Saturday evening last when the boat reached the Cadogan Pier, Chelsea, the word was given to "put her astern," to get alongside the pier and land pas sengers. At such times it requires great force to hold the tiller, and while the deceased and a boy were en deavouring to govern it, the wheel flew from their grasp, and one of the handles catching the deceased under the waistooast, and whirling him up, flung him completely overboard. His body was not found fur an hour. Wit ness attributed the accident entirely to the great pressure of the water. He had himself sometimes been unable It pvern the wheel when the vessel was put astern. Ver -4'04 " Accidental Death." THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBFR 6, 1818. DEFENCE OF LAMARTINE. BY HIMSELF. [Now that Lamartine has condescended to rebut the calumnies by which his great acts of patriotism have been repaid, we are resolved to enable our readers to jiidge for themselves whether our estimAion of his character has been or has not been erroneous. To this end we shall from day to day publish fragments of the " Defence"— translating our selves from the original as we proceed—giving in all their simplicity one of the slanders accompanied by its particular refutation. It is a satisfaction to know that the whole of the first edition of this important and remarkable brochure was bought up within the space of a quarter of an hour. Such was the avidity evinced by the Parisians to peruse it, that the pamphlet suddenly became the rage' of the French capital. All the interest previously felt as to the probability of an Italian invasion and a general war in Europe was for gotten—men spoke only, thought only, and talked only about the last production of the pen of this wonderful publicist. The pamphlet, it will be observed, appears in the form of a letter addressed to the electors of the ten departments, who chose Lamartine as their represen tative:— _ _ . 1. Bouches-du-Rhone. 2. COte-d'Or. 3. Dordogne. 4. Finistere. 5. Gironde. 6. Ille•et-Vilaine. 7. Nord. 8. Soave-et-Loire. 9. Seine. 10. Seine-Inferieure. Nevertheless it must not be forgotten that this " Letter" is nothing more than an extract from a much larger publication, by M. de Lamartine, called "Three Months in Power"—a publication which will contain his Mani festo to the Departments, his Circular, and his Re ports, together with all his remarks and orations delivered since the 24th of February, both in the Cham ber and at the Hotel de Ville. We may observe that the introduction of the subject-matter in the com mencement of the letter comprises, among others, the following beautiful and significant pas sages:—" Citisens, the popularity which surrounded me without cause has retired from me without motive. . . . I have preserved silence for a long while, and should have done so always bad my own re putation been alone concerned ; but you adopted me in a moment of extraordinary imminence in token of the conformity of our opinions. I belong to you, therefore. It is necessary that you should not have reason to blush when they mention my name in your presence." It is thus that the illustrious writer ad dresses himself to the electors of the departments who proclaimed him the representative of the French people with the vociferations of two million voices. Gold passing through the furnace is purified. Thus is it with Lamartine now that he has passed through the terrible furnace of calumnies—of those calumnies which he has himself scornfully called " the ordinary salari( s of revolutions." The joy with which we now witness the complete vindication of the character of Alphonse de Lamartino is only surpassed by the satisfaction we experience in thinking that we have always (even in those moments when every eye regarded him either with suspicion as an administrator, or with abhorrence as a conspirator) recognised the glorious and incorruptible honesty of the hero-patriot and the poet-statesman.—En. Sun.] FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night] : In the National Assembly on Monday, after a lengthened debate, the proposition of M. PASCH. DUPEAT on the subject of voting the organic laws was put to the vote. The President read the first article—" The National Assembly shall not dissolve itself without having voted the organic laws." M. KERDIZEL moved that the Assembly should confine itself to vote the electoral law. That motion was rejected. Another amendment, developed by M. VEsIN, experienced the same fate, after which the first article was voted by an immense majority.. The second article, providing that "a special de cree, issued immediately after the vote of the consti tution, shall fix the laws to be framed by the Consti tuent Assembly," was adopted by the same majority. M. DESLONGRAIS next proposed an additional ar ticle, to the effect of postponing the election of the President until the vote of the organic laws. The proposition, however, was unfavourably received by the Assembly, and when put from the chair only sup ported by ten or twelve members. PIEDMON T. 'The Piedmontese Gazette of the 31st ult. publishes the following telegraphic dispatch received that morn ing by the Minister of the Interior : " An extraordinary movement was observed at Pia cenza, on the 29th of August, amongst the Austrians. The artillery had been sent outside the gate of the Po, but it subsequently returned. Marshal de Thun assem bled his officers round him in order to communicate to them some important commands. Several couriers ar rived and set out again during the night." LOMBARDY. The Milan Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes a proclamation, issued by Marshal Prince SCHWARSEN BERG, the Military Governor of that city. The Prince commands that all natives of Lombardy re siding in Milan, except those born there, shall, within eight days, procure a certificate of their birth from the district to which they belong. The masters of furnished hotels are called on to make a return to the authorities of all persons residing in their houses. The Pensiero Italian of the 30th ult. states, from Novara, that General GARIBALD I, bein g attacked at Varese by a column of 10,000 Austrians, was obliged to retire to Luino, and thence escape to Switzerland by the steamer with a few followers. This and other Italian journals affirm that Austria had no right to complain of the non-observance of certain articles of the armistice, since she herself has broken the spirit of it by occupying Parma, Piacenza, and Modena, contrary to the convention which determined that the limits of, the two armies should be the respective frontiers. Baron DE KAISERSFELD, Minister of Austria in Switzerland, has informed the Federal Directory that Marshal RADETZKY has decided that all political refugees, subjects of Austria, are at liberty to return to their homes, without meeting with any obstacle, or being exposed to any judicial prosecution for their political acts. They are to present themselves to the authorities of the frontier, and to those of their place of residence, are not to absent themselves from their homes for any length of time without permission, and, under pain of severe punishment, are to abstain from any revolutionary proceedings. VIENNA. The Osservatore Triestino of Sunday, the 27th ult., announces in its official part that Vice- Admiral ALBINI , on the receipt of the op en dispatch from ' his Government, declared that he would obey his instructions with all pos sible celerity, at the same time observing that the required embarkation of the Piedmontese troops might occasion a delay of some five or six days, sup posing, moreover, that his communication with the main land was not impeded by bad weather. The Vice-Admiral, therefore, promised to communicate with the Military Commandant of the Illyrian coast by means of an express when the moment arrived for carrying his orders into effect. iVIORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

FIRST ACCUSATION :—That I have been ardent in ambition, and feeble in the exercise of power during the interregnum and the dictatorship. I reply : The revolution of February surprised me, as it did the whole world. The Republican system, the Government of pure reason, was, in my opinion, an ideal more or less distant from the claims, from the reign, from the progress of the people. It was not a conjuration (the result of a conspiracy). I had no immediate aversion to constitu tional monarchy, no personal antipathy to the dynasty. I held myself apart from its favours—l simply witnessed its administration—behold ! that is all. Had its supremacy—some of the principles of which I held in estimation, such, for example, as its pre dilection in favour of peace—neither diminished nor corrupted freedom, I should not have hesitated to have afforded it my allegiance. When, however, the monarchy and the dynasty were abandoned by the People, by the National Guard, by the Chamber, and by the army, both of them fell at once from their own weakness in the course of a single moiety of a sitting. The days of royalty had disappeared, and it became only possible to pity it, and to fill up the place which it had left vacant. The people themselves first dis played the tokens of this honourable commiseration. They fought—they allowed royalty to escape—they did not condescend to one act of insolence. I remained isolated, pensive, silent, upon my bench (in the Chamber of Deputies), contemplating that abrupt catastrophe which did not leave one time enough to measure its profundity. Moved even to sadness by this calamity, and this new birth over whelming a throne in a revolution, my heart strug gled within me against my reason. Several of the people and of the Deputies—though they may now have forgotten the circumstance—ap proached me, and, seizing my arm in order to rouse me from my abstraction, summoned me energetically to throw myself between t.narchy and my mother land, calling me by name and impelling me towards the tribune. From that tribune M. Odillon Barrot had just descended, from the exhaustion produced by his efforts to save the monarchy from destruction. A musket was levelled at my head from one of the gal leries, but an unknown hand struck up the muzzle. In a few syllables I proclaimed myself to be in favour of a Provisional Government—a Government which should grasp the crisis on the instant, so as to bring it under control. This Government gave augury, it is true, of a Republic, but it reserved to the Na tional Assembly that which I had expressed in my first words—that of which it could never be deprived, whether by faction, by seduction, or by acclamation —the full and sovereign sanction of the definitive form of government, such as might be suitable for the acceptance of the nation. The voices of the people and of those Deputies who still remained in the Chamber summoned me to designate myself the members of the Provisional Government. I refused. M. Dupont (de l'Eure), the natural dictator of public esteem, was carried, in spite of his modesty, to the chair of the presidency. He read the names which a tumultuous sitting had selected for the formation of the Government. We could not recognise in this sitting any other authority besides the authority of danger and devotion. This danger and this devotion formed our only title. They prevented us from resigning power, irregular though it was, into the hands of anarchy. "I ac cept this power by reason of the blood which flows, and which must be staunched at all price." Those were my words : I find them recorded in the illoniteur. We marched at once to the Hotel de Ville, at the head of a procession of the people. We were carried under the shelter of sabres, and pikes, and bayonets, into the Looms stained with blood, encumbered with the dead and the wounded, even to the little table where the Government was organized. Even at that hour the great struggle commenced outside between the two republics; the one violent, inexorable, dictatorial, terrorist—in word, in act, and in colour; the other, moderate, pacific, legal, unani mous, constitutional; between the Republic which you wish, and that which you do not wish. The first act of this terrorist republic, wrong both in manner and in time, was to wish to hoist its colours—the colours of blood. During two days and two nights some of the armed advocates of this faction inundated from time to time the squares, the courts, and the halls of the Hotel de Ville. They summoned us to give, on the instant, to the young republic the character, the attitude, and the insignia of the first revolution. My colleagues and myself resisted then, though we were in danger of our lives. Twenty times during those seventy-two hours I was roused, dragged, and carried to the doors, to the windows, to the railing of the stair cases, in the courts, upon the Place, to speak to those men of another epoch who interpreted so badly the wishes of the people, and to repulse those symbols of terrorism with which they desired to dishonour the Republic. You will call to mind those last words which decided the victory of the tricoloured ban ner; they were thoughts which were already upon the lips of my colleagues, and in pro nouncing those words, I only gave to those thoughts utterance—" Citizens, the red flag which you offer to us has only made the tour of the Champs de Mars, trailed in the blood of the pe o p le ; the tri coloured' flag, the flag which we wish to preserve to the Republic, has made the tour of the world with our courage, with our glory, and with our liberties !" Is there in all this, I ask, anything like the premedi tated ambition of a pest whose peril had thrown us all (like the forlorn hope of the Revolution) into the very breach of society ? Is there in all this a tok en of feebleness ? Is there in it the evidence of a compli city with terrorism ? Answer me ! ASHTON.—The prompt and energetic measures lately adopted by the authorities to suppress sedition in this place have happily been most successful. All at tempts to carry on the Chartist agitation have been abandoned; and even those who, immediately after the late arrests, kept up the public alarm by meeting during the night in the fields, through the unwearied vigilance of the police have been completely put down. There are rumours that the nightly meetings are secretly held, but they must he without foundation, as the fields and moors are constantly watched, and no trace whatever has been seen. We are sorry to learn that as yet no trace has been obtained to the murderers of Bright, the police- Diseases of the Skin, &c. ..• ••• ••• Malformations... ••• ••• ••• .. •• Premature Birth ... ... ..

SUGAR.—Notwithstanding the favourable state of the weather and the decline in bread-stuffs, still there was a decrease in the home demand for all sorts of Raw Sugar to-day, and prices were further depressed. West India Muscovado was dealt in reluctantly both for the pan and scale, whilst the rates accepted are in some cases 6d per cwt under those of Friday. The public sales of 193 hhds and 4 brls of Barbadoes went off flatly, and at rather lower prices—fine yellow sold at 40s to 41s, good 38s to 39s 6d, middling 37s to 38s 6d, and low 35s 6d to 365. 9 hhds and 17 brls crystalized Demerara went at 45s to 47s for good and tine yellow. The total sales to-day are 370 hhds and tres. REFINED.—To 'day there was little desire evinced to operate in Refined goods for home trade purposes; sellers are willing to accept 51s 6d for standard, and 50s 6d per cwt for brown grocery lumps. For bonded Crushed Sugar the market is firm at 26s 6d to 27s 6d, and there are several buyers. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with little attention, and 2,206 bags at public sale sold in some cases rather cheaper—fine yellow sold at 39s to 41s, good 37s Gd to 38s 6d, middling 368 to 375; low 35s to 35s 6d, good and fine brown 34s to 375, low to fine grey 34s to 395, washed and syrupy 33s 6d to 38s per cwt.

There was no public sale of Madras or Ben , ral, and the small parcels sold privately were upon easier terms. 1 4. 0 REIGN.-The demand for foreign Sugar is exten sive for exportation, and the rates paid are equal to those of this day week; there is no advance to record. By private treaty operations are 400 chests of brown and middling yellow Bahia at 168 6d to 18s; 200 casks Cuba Muscovado at 17s to 17s 6d; 6,600 chests of llaiannah, brown at 17s to 17s 6d, yellow 18s to 20s: two cargoes of white for St. Peters denar gahn,do hase e a b t e 2 e s n s ,exanpdertiheneeeetdhefrroamt 3 ourl s p r e e r fi n c e w r a t. w A o r g k o i n o g d under bond, but town and country grocers operated with caution, and which is to be attributed to colonial being cheaper than foreign. COFFEE.—This afternoon the market for Mocha pre sented a dull aspect, and merchants were more disposed to realise. At public sale 225 bales and 105 half-bales were offered, and sold 2s to 3s per cwt lower ; good middling greenish, clean, garbled, went at 48s 6d, mid dling 46s to 475, low middling 42$ to 455, triage 22s to 31s 6d.

TEA.—On the part of holders of black there is firm ness, and they insist upon former terms; a good business has been concluded during the last few days. For ord sound Congou the rates paid are Bd. and for good ord Sid to 9d per lb. Green cannot be obtained upon lower terms, but at present buyers manifest little de sire to do business; the market is less freely supplied.

TIMES.—It is now nearly ten months ago since the Sovereign of these realms addressed the assembled members of an infant Parliament. They met—several of them for the first time—under no ordinary circum stances. It was a time of pressure, of dejection, and gloom. It was a time pregnant with calamity to many a respectable family, with dishonour to many a respect able firm. In three months fell the fortunes and hopes of thousands. But if England was then sufferieg much, Ireland was suffering more. Ribandism had been con secrated by popular combination into Thuggee. Murder inspired the sympathies if the people, and too often en joyed the sanction of their priests. All was gloomy and foreboding then. But who could have predicted the more awful calamities of which all that was endured then was but a foreshadowing and an augury? To those who yes terday saw the Sovereign meet the Assembly which she had convoked, and heard her thank them for a laborious attendance of unparalleled length, there was much in the ceremony that had a meaning beyond the splendour of a pageant and the brilliance of a raree-show. When last her Majesty addressed the Peers in person, she alluded in terms of dignified reproach to her relations with the King of the French. Yesterday there stood beside her Throne—distinguished from the glittering corps of Ministers and diplomatists by the comparative plainness of their attire—the exiled sons of that exiled Monarch, whose ruin was precipitated by the fatal am bition which had made him d'af not only to the precepts of strict honour, but to the promptings of true interest. Around her crowded the Ministers and Representatives of States and Governments whose existence now trem bles in the scale of destiny. And close to the Royal person, wielding with feeble arm the sword of State, and bowed by the weight of nearly eighty years, stooped the soldier who had helped to rear the crumbling edifice of continental monarchies, and had put his seal and sign to treaties and nationalities which he was destined to outlive! And if it were strange for the victor of Waterloo to contemplate the exiled occupants of that throne which his own right arm had rescued for another, but not less unprosperous, race, it fell not less strangely on the ears of the descendants of Capet when the Queen of a constitutional monarchy gave her fiat to the deliberate will of her English Commons in the tradi tionary language of the Norman William. Nor less curious is it that while Franca is " taking the lead in civilization" by enunciating the dogmas of her twentieth constitution, MM. Guisot and Louis Blanc, the authors and victims of two rival revolutions, by a curious coinci dence should attend at the sittings of a Parliament which has preserved its unwritten usages without the necessity of dogmas or the dictation of revolutions 1 Who that looked upon that gorgeous ceremony could fail to moralize upon the text it supplied—upon the instability of fortune, the crash of nations, and the vanity of human wisdom? But what Englishman could suppress a self complacent thrill, as he saw the old forms and heard the old words in which his country has made her laws for eight hundred years repeated in the presence of a be dizened throng sent from every capital of Europe to sue for a generous neutrality or a peaceful intervention. The Queen's speech is always less pleasant in its retro spections than its promises. This year the inauguration of Parliament was melancholy enough. But it cannot be forgotten that the promises of Ministers were also copious enough. There was Ireland to be looked to ; there was a sanitary reform to be proposed and enacted ; there were the navigation-laws to be overhauled ; there were the West India colonies to be relieved and redressed; then there were the usual vague "remedial measures" for Ireland to be considered. Well, Ireland has been looked to. An Arms Bill was passed in the early part of the session. At a later period a Coercion Bill was passed, with a unanimity which was itself no less effec tive than the powers which it committed to the Govern ment, and no less signal as a contradiction of the time honoured maxims of its authors. The Queen has con gratulated her Parliament on the enactment of an In ' cumbered Estates Bill. But the Bill is not what its authors professed it ought to be, and promised that it should be. She has con gratulated them on their sanitary Bill. Is this any thing like the measure which at the commencement re ceived the approval of the Cabinet? The progress of this Act from the 10th of February, when it appeared labelled as " A Bill to promote the Public Health, price 8d.," to its final and full-grown development on the 27th of July, as " A Bill, as amended by the Lords, entitled An Act for Promoting the Public Health,' price ls. ," with every possible chan ge i n th e terms o f its clauses, and every imaginable alteration in the constitution of its functionaries—displays an irresolution sad a weak ness of purpose w hi c h th e f our f o ld b u d get and the thrice altered West India scheme can neither extenuate nor efface. We have spoken of the administrative acts of the Ministry. They were acts of necessity and of cou rsee. But in their conception, no less than their execu tion, they were animated, or rather they were antici pated, by the mind and spirit of the country. To quote Mr. Disraeli again, Parliament treats the Ministry as the villagers treated Dun Quixote ; it is aware of their weakness, but it respects them. But Ministers should not presume on this. The English nation likes any Government better than no Govern ment at all ; but it infinitely prefers a strong Govern ment to a weak one. And it especially dislikes a Govern ment of infirm purpose and immature counsels—a Govern ment which takes five months to bring a measure from its introduction to its close—which interweaves twenty fi‘ e arithmetical blunders with the first, cud nine with the last stage of a financial scheme—and which, being admitted to possess great talents and good intentions, gives no proof of the former and ne scope to the latter, through its carelessness, its disunion, or its propensity to promise too much. " The strength of our institu tutions," in the words of the Qacen's speech, " has been tried, and has not been found wanting." But, as the House of Commons has already been reminded, there are things more formidable than midnight clubs and secret societies; and that which no lawless confederation could accomplish a weak Government might earn the infamy of having done. POST.—It is impossible for us to congratulate the fascinating community of Cheltenham upon having elected Mr. Grenville Berkeley to represent them in the House of Commons; still, however, there is something upon which to congratulate them—we mean their escape from being represented by Mr. Bickham Escott. That would indeed have been a disgrace which all the waters of Cheltenham would have been insufficient to wash out. We admire the delicate taste of the 842 who gave him their votes. What happy conceptions they must have of the sort of honour, consistency, and modesty which entitle a man ambitious of public station to the confidence of au " enlightened constituency !" The course of Mr. Bickham Escott's public life has been remarkable for these two things first, the rude violence with which he insisted on the sound ness and certainty of his own views as a Protectionist; and, secondly, the extravagance of his servile protesta tions in the very opposite direction, when Sir Robert Peel (at that time the dispenser of patronage) became a renegade to the principles and the party of which he had been the advocate arid the leader. Mr. Escott at one time affected to be a particularly zealous cham pion of the landed interest, but when Sir Robert Peel surrendered to Cobden, Mr. Escott showed no sympathy with the land, save in his eagerness to eat dirt. In that particular his prowess is unquestionable. The lecture of this gentleman to the inhabitants of Cheltenham upon the propriety of choosing repre sentatives who would keep their promises must have been highly edit) ing. Perhaps the practical lesson t a ught him by the electors of Winchesterled on him the he impart to subject of promise - breaking mayhave de on the think that he was qualified to know .l e g one subject. But let us do the gentleman i thing he is almost sublime. His effronteersytise:transcen dental. When twitted with having voted against repeal ie of the corn-laws as well a s in favour of their repeal, i begged to know wheth er, if he had put Sir R. Peel out of , office by voting for the repeal of the corn laws in 1843, , Sir 11. Peel would have been able to carry the repeal in 1846 ? Who can a pp roach this? Mr. Escott was in 1343 a furious, red-hot Protectionist ; but blame him not, ye entle water-quaffing ee traders of Cheltenham. • He was g only acting it part to keep Sir it. Peel in office that he might carry the repeal of the corn-laws in 1846! Admirable Eacott! But of such stuff are the men mace who think themselves entitled to the favour of the new popular constituencies cruated by the Reforin Act of 1832.

SEPTEMBER s.—This morning, a detachment of the 4th Regiment (King's Own), consisting of three ser geants, four corporals, and two drummers, and eighty rank and file, with seven women and ten children, marched into Brompton Barracks, near Chatham, from Gravesend, at which place they disembarked from the ship Thetis, from India. This detachment is from Madras, and sailed for England on the 12th of April last. Lieutenant A. Vaughan, D. Harris, and Lieut. J. Cowell Bartley, and two officers in charge of the troops. The head-quarters of this regiment are on board the ship London, it having embarked ou the sth of April, and is expected daily. Thomas Goodfellow and Henry Boot, two privates of the 4th Regiment belonging to the Depot, were com mitted yesterday by the county magistrates, at Rochester, for stealing a silver watch, chain, and key, belonging to private Charles Burns, of the same corps. The prisoners v e e a r look-out t sergeant rgapprehendedßrennan, e an on t for Thursday deserters the 2 2 d Regiment,lna s t t , a e at noon, l n mho by ,ha mo.i rs Sr o theaed - They were both dressed as labourers. He took them to Chatham Barracks as deserters, and they were then charged with the robbery. The prisoners offered the watch for sale to Mr. Crittenden, at Chatham. The prisoners were removed to Maidstone gaol to take their trials.

Harvest operations A , ta. weve r , nen temporarily suspended by the %-iv 4 cti.hten ties over which the storm passed, but, on the whtle, the weather has been favourable during the week. From Monday to Thursday hardly any rain appears to have fallen in any part of the kingdom, and a considerable quantity of corn was consequently carried, ifi tolerably good order. In the south there is now comparatively little remaining abroad, and as the weather has lately as sumed a more settled aspect, we trust that what is still abroad may be got in without sustaining further injury. The reports as to the yield of Wheat are still very various; the quality of a large proportion of this year's growth will unquestionably be inferior, and there is reason to believe that the produce to the acre will prove short of an average. Whether the deficiency will, how ever, be so great as to cause a high range of prices, we still question ; and if the month of September should prove tolerably propitious for securing the northern harvest, some reaction in the trade would, in our opinion. most likely take place. Much less has been said lately about the spread of the potato disease than was the case a few weeks ago; whether this arises from apathy on the subject, or whether upon digging the later sorts they are found to turn up better than the appearance of the haulm had led parties to expect, is not easily determined; we are induced to hope the latter, as the growers are not generally in the habit of observing silence when they have reason to complain of their crops. The disposition to enter into speculative investments of grain, which was becoming somewhat prevalent, has certainly re ceived a check this week, and the Wheat trade has been much less excited than for some time past. Atsomo of the principal provincial markets held in the early part of the week enhanced terms were demanded, but these were paid with great reluctance, and the ad vance temporarily established was not long maintained, lower rates having been accepted towards the close than would have been taken in the commencement of the week. At Liverpool, for instance, holders of Wheat and Flour were firm on Tuesday, but afterwards they mani fested more anxiety to realise, and on Friday the former article was offered 4d. to 6d. per 'Abs., and the latter Is. per sack and barrel lower. Indian Corn was also dull of sale at that port on the last-named day, the Irish demand having fallen off materially ; yellow was freely offered at a reduction of Is. per 4801bs. At the other large consuming towns in the north the trade has felt the influence of the comparatively fine weather, with which wo havo this week been favoured, and unless circumstances shall occur to give rise to re newed apprehension respecting the harvest in the back ward districts, Wheat is likely to recede more or less in value. The advices from Scotland generally agree in stating that the mischief likely to result from the late wet wea thktr will not be very great, if September should prove a tine month. Harvest work had, however, been much retarded, and several weeks must still elapse before the crops in the north can be placed out of danger. The potato disease appears to be less serious in Scotland, than with us, and if prices of the article should rise later in the year, we should probably receive supplies from the north. The accounts from Ireland, though sufficiently bad, are not of quite so melancholy a character this week as be fore, and we are inclined to think that the extent of the potato failure has been somewhat exaggerated as well on that as on this side of the Channel. Supplies of Pota toes were coming freely forward in the Irish markets, and the demand for Indian Corn had consequently fallen off so greatly as to affect its value materially. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise into London have been moderate since our last, 7,182 qrs. having been repartee! up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity brought Caavard at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties, has not b2en large—indeed, hardly anything has been shown on the Essex and Kent stands since Monday, beyond the few lots then left un sold. The millers have, however, acted with extreme caution throughout the week, and the tendency of prices has been rather downward=. On Wednesday scarcely a bargain was closed, factors being then still unwilling to make the slightest conees ,,ion ; but on Friday rather more anxiety was manifested to realise, and in partial instances sales were made at prices which would not have been accepted in the begin ning of the week. That the inferiority of the quality of a large proportion of the Wheat of this year's growth a ill have the effect of causing an extensive use of old for mixing is certain; and holders of foreign have conse quently manifested no particular anxiety to press busi ness; but as, on the other hand, there has been a decided unwillingness on the part of the millers to add much to their stocks, the transactions have been far from impor tant. Meanwhile little is being entered for home con sumption at present, and the quantity in granary is re duced into a very narrow compass, which renders any material decline in prices rather improbable. The tii. fling sales made on Wednesday and Friday were atmuch the same rates as those previously current. The arrivals from abroad have not been large, only 9,993 qrs. having been been reported this week; consi derable supplies may, however, be calculated upon later in the year, as large orders were sent cut during last month. The duty fell to 7s. per quarter on Thursday, and will recede another step almost directly; but it has become somewhat doubtful whether the very bad quality of tho English Wheat may not keep the averages too low to admit of the duty falling to the point at ono time ex pected. Bonded Wheat has certainly excited little attention this week, and even floating cargoes have met less in quiry than of late; full prices were nevertheless insisted on by sellers till Friday; but on that occasion consider ably lower terms were in some cases accepted, as well for parcels on the spot as cargoes to arrive. The recent rise in the value of Flour has certainly had the effect of checking the demand, and the sale among the bakers has been exceedingly slow throughout tho week. The nominal top price has not undergone any change, and ship samples have also been held pretty firmly at last Monday's currency. For foreign Flour (free as well as bonded) the demand has fallen off, but high prices have been asked for the few small lots of really fine quality remaining on the market.—Mark lane Express. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—Monday, the 4th, wound up a number of fragmental businesses, such as are always found at the conclusion of a term ; and Tuesday brought us to the Queen's Speech and Prorogation. The feeling on the occasion will very generally be, that if all things have not gone on so well as could have been wished, many have ended better than could have been expected. No great misfortune has come near us ; and we are left to do better another time, in respect of the removal of the chronic evils, towards which a little, if not much, has been done in the ses sion which is past. It is gratifying to me to reflect, that there has been no occasion where the various interests of your friends were concerned, on which I have not been able to forward to you the best account my knowledge would permit. I shall have pleasure in forwarding to you from time to time such further remarks as passing events may suggest; though not at stated periods as (luring the sitting of Parliam ent. And the first suh - Jec • tto which I shall be t em p ted to invite your atten tion,i I think will be some o bservations in Bladwoods ,la , azine for this month, on what it was my chance to say in the House of Commons in support of the trade of Bradford. It is an opportunity too good to Iy• lost. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, Sept. 6, IS4B. THE OCEAN MONARCH AND THE FIRE ANNIIII LATOR.—A correspondent of the Builder says—" I am sorry to find on inquiry, that, although this useful and desirable object has been patented several years it is n o t yet to be purchased at any price. At a public meeting in St. Pancras, we were informed that four or five annihi lators, thrown down between decks into the Ocean Mo narch, would have at once converted the deadly vapours of the fire into innocent steam—would have saved 173 lives, and have preserved as many more human beings from utter ruin and wretchedness, besides the preserva tion of 50,0001. worth of property. But, Mr. Edits r, whose fault is it that 51. have not been expended to so good a purpose? Does the law allow any one to tie up by patent that which is essential to the wellbeing of man kind? With the highest respect for ability, I cannot bring myself to think that it should be so, and I would press upon the gentleman who has made to great a dis covery, that to disseminate health and happiness is far more meritorious than to make ingenious discoveries, and like Paracelsus, deny them to his fellow-en atut es: I would even put it to him, how far may rest upon him the responsibility of every disaster from fire that, through his negligence or arbitrary proceeding, occurs nightly i n this kingdom. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is loi per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25. 41 ; and the exchange at Pari s on London at short being 25.35, it follows that gold is 0.24 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

At the time of his decease Colonel Baird was attended by Colonel Nicols, his sister, and several other attached friends. Dr. Evans, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Blake, surgeon, were exceedingly assiduous in the performance of their professional duties, and too much credit eanuQ4 be given to Mr. Bacon and his household. The inquest will be held to-morrow. Mr. Shuard is apparently pro gressing towards recovery. In the midst of pain he is in great spirits. We forbear to give at present any opinion as to the cause of the accident. Price.
