----- 1 --- reetion. The special regulation as to those transe?rted shall be thertubject of irspecial decree of the Nat, 9 nnl Assembly." Tho Committee on Foreign Affairs have received fro& the National Guard of Milan a letter demanding in tervention. The Committee resolved that it would be inexpedient to come to any decision at present, and handed the letter over to the Assembly. The distribution of the first portion of the documents and proofs relating to the insurrections of May and June has taken place. The deposition of M. ARAGO is most interesting and important. It is, in fact, a cons- ' plete histopy of the transactions of the Provisional Go vernment and of the Executive Committee from the re volution of February to the insurrection of Juno. Yesterday the military in Paris were all under arms, and several pieces of cannon were stationed at different Points, as a Royalist outbreak was apprehended. BOURSE, PARIS, FRIDAY, AUG. 1& TERRE o'CLoca.—The general uneasiness felt as to the con tinuanoe of the public tranquillity produced a farther decline at the Bourse to-day.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals are filled with accounts of the files in celebration of the return of the EMPEROR. The joy of the good Viennese was somewhat damped, how ever, when they became aware of the fact that with the EMPEROR the woman Cam had returned also. This woman, who possesses unbounded influence over both the EmPARoa and the EMPRESS, is said to be an agent of ,the Jesuits. • PRUSSIA. TOlokne is now the great centre of attraction. ' The proceedings on the second day of the Cathedral festival passed off admirably. After the consecration of the newly erected portion of the Cathedral, a grand banquet took place in the Gurzenich Hall, at which the Arch duke JOHN, the King of PRUSSIA, and M. GAGERN, and .3pwards of 200 Members of the German Parliament, "re present. On entering the Hall the Administrator of the Empire mid the King of 'PRUSSIA were received in the most en thusiastic manner. • The Brat toast was proposed by the KING, who spoke in the following words:—" I propose the health of a German. a faithful and tried frend, the man of your trust, who also possesses my affection and full confidence. May be give us a free and united people, and free and united Princes! 'to the Archduke JOHN, Administrator of the Empire;" The ARcaDuxximmediately rose, and replied by the f ° ll6 eing toast:—" To the Prince who has just proposed znY health, to the King of PRUSSIA! May GOD long preserve him, and may our union and perseverance remain ,as unshaken as the cathedral at Cologne!" The two Princes then embraced each other, amidst the enthusiasm of all present. " Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland " was sung.' The. KING then proposed the following toast:—" To the brave labourers who are working to raise an united Germany, the Members of the National Assembly of Frankfort, preient and absent." The Administrator of the Empire then proposed— " The city which has prepared us this festival; may it grow and prosper, and be strong as its cathedral." The Archbishop of COLOGNE gave a toast which ended in these worcim—" I pronounce a blessing over the good understanding of princes and people, as we pronounced it this morning in the cathedral." M. SIRON, Vice-President of the Frankfort Perlis flent., proposed a toast, " To German Brotherhood." M. DE GAGERN ;the President, then said, " I join in the sentiment expressed by ,the last speaker. I drink to the genefal fraternity of all Germans; to the co aPeration of all those who are called upon to labour at the great work of German unity; to the representatives Of the.Gorman peoPle, and, above all, to the National Assembly of Berlin." All these toasts were received with the greatest en &agleam. The KING and the Administrator of the Empire then Lose and l e ft th e hall with their suite, and proceeded to rah!, where. a grand "dinner was given to more than 2 4 . guests. • On the 16th the Administrator of the Empire left ▪ to return to Frankfort, and the King of PRussii. set out for Elberfeld. Solna serious disturbances took place at Dusseldorf, tn Monday, in consequence of a dispute between some ,'"'neeian: soldiers and the Burgher Guard. Several '° o te Were exchanged; and it was not until the soldiers Were withdrawn from the streets that tranquillity was teetered: 1.1 A L _Y. ROME, An address to the French Republic, demanding inter lentip has been signed by the people. At Bologna ample preparations have been made for the reception of the -Atitrians, should they venture to renew their attack. Barricades have been erected at all the entrances of the city, and the peasants of the sur rounding districts have risen en masse in defence of the citizens. LoivrBARDY AND PIEDMONT. The followi ng article, which appears in the Journal de D CH etats, may be considered as the o ffi cial manifesto of ARLES ALBERT. It is said that it was transmitted to the Debate from the Sardinian Embassy. " Accordin g to the, news which reached us to-day from Turin, dated the 13th of August, and which emanates from different sources,' it appears that the real truth is beginning to appear, amidst the accusations and recriminations of all kinds, which, after the retreat of the Piedmontese army to the 'Tessino , parties in Italy cast at each other. Among the reports which the correspondence points out to ma, we will .only; give those which appear to us to have some probability ; but in laying them before our readers, vdh not agree with their authenticity. The following therles explanati on given of the reason which induced Cha contrary to all the principles of good strategy, Ali,. to persist in guarding a line so extended and so vulnerable as that from Goito to Rivoli, and put the main body of army in motion towards Mantua, leaving only 15,000 men on the line of the Adige. An Austrian major, from the garrison of Mantua, and who left that place with dis Patches from Marshal Radetzky, allowed himself pur posely to be taken and conducted to the head-quarters of the King. He told the King confidentially that he would be able to deliver up Mantua to him, provided he „presented himself before that place with an imposing force. On this a negotiation, woa entered into with the major, who was allowed to return to Mantua at the same time that the King advanced, in order_to surround the place more closely. Mar abalitadetzk Yf informed of this trick, left Verona at once, andtaking the direction of Somma-Campagna, be succeeded in getting some .of his men as far as the Mincio, and cutting the Piedmontese army in two. "On its arrival nn. the Oglio, the Piedmontese army gave up the idea of defending itself on .the assurances given by the English Minister, Mr. Abercromby, that. Austria would grant at the -worst, the . free possession of Lombardy to the Mincio. But the overtures for a suspension of hostilities made to Mar shal Radetzky having shown the contrary, the Piedmontese army. passed froM confidence to the most, profound dis couragement. It would appear that it was also by the advice of Mr. A.bercromby, that the King determinedon covering Milan in placeof going to Plaeenzia, and defending the line of the Po..with 60,000 Men which he had still at. his disposal. As regards the. Provisional Government. of Milan, it is now evident to every one thit it conducted itself in the most de plorable manner. - Vacillating and incapable, it allowed itself to be always guided , by AL Mazzini, who, while he kept hiln self in the back ground, was its real head. This per son, Who was obstinate in his opinion that there was no other , safety for Italy but in the union of all the states of which it is composed under - the Republican system, concen trated all his efforts and his influence to the rousing of the antipathies of the Milanese against the Piedmontese, and in opposing the real union of theAwo countries... Unfortunately, the Genoese party, from which came originally the idea of the Constituent Assembly, but was top eager to second the Utopian schemes of M. Mazsini, and exercised so preponde rating an influence in the last Ministry, that it even said that M. Pareto, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, did not in form the King till very lately of the, dispatches from Aus tria, by which she consented to make the Adige the boun dary of her dominions. The fact that M. Pareto had re plied' to'the pacific overtures of 'Austria,:that she.would not be treated with until she had. evacuated, not only,the Vene tian provinces, but the Tyrol and. Trieste. It is •to be regretted that Kitig . Charles Albert should have been deceived ' so long, and that he persisted in sur-. rounding himself on , the 'field of battl e b y notor i ous l y in capable generals. - ' The miniAer Caiate-Pareto has at length resigned,- but nothing -hitherto gives us reason to think that the King has applied to . persons capable of ,ma naghig the affairs of Piedmont in its present critical eh cninetanees. _The_ military aristocracy WhiCh, in the perions of the generals who conducted the war, showed itself so tinivotthy of the confidence placed in it by the king, show a disposition to intrigue openly for the purpose - of bringing the , country beck 'to absolutism; but it is deceived, for the last proclamation of the King proves• that in 'case of neceisity Charles Albert is' determined to follow out the constitutional - tystem. ' The King left Vigevano on the 12th, and removed his head-quarters to Alexandria, to continue the war, if an honourable peace should not be granted to him; Poribit purpose, the Piedmontese troops have tken atationed alOrig the Tessin°, while imposing forces have been directed towards Batfigneni, to defend the Po. Although the predictions - of Gioberti for a holy war were received with biases and hooting at Mortara, and although . the Deputies Brofferio, Dalmazzo, and nesti, were prevented at Vigevano by the officers of the army from reaching Charles Albert, when it comes to a question of defending the country, the Piedmontese,people will again find its ancient energy, and show' Its habitual valour. The people are devoted to the King, and.all their indignation is turned now agaigst the Memberi of the Chamber, who have compromised everything by 'their senseless opposition and. their continual declama tions." , . • It appears by the latest accounts from Turin, received In Fuji; that,t4e Piedmontese army still consists of six divisions of infantry, sixteen batteries of artillery, con taining eadh 'eight pies s of cannon, a park of reserve, and tax etreptipe regiments of.artillery. The army is in echelon from Stradella to the Upper Tessino; its head qtiarteri are ,with th e K ING at Al essan d r i a , an d the re a> 3a established at Turin. • ,u is able Luther soner, d de ad he ined." jury ten whe- lishod , nable , ed in low a Lnish- inous bject, id •x Ha first, Dner , and mow ,ord- pro- natt ; arose. itsnt, - Lined" kat it not THE SUN, LONDON, 310:NE)( at) ,. COMMERCIAL 4 - 4Yk. CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE. It is very satisfactory to note, in reference to the Bank of England statement for the week ending Satur day hist, that a pause seems to have occurred in the ab straction of bullion, and if we might draw an inference from the passive attitude of the Bank directors in keep ing the rate of discount at the previous comparatively low range, we should be inclined to surmise that the next statement published will be equally satisfactory in this respect. The demand upon the establishment for discount accommodation is obviously not increasing, and the mode in which bullion has been withdrawn is by a reduction of the private balances, probably those of bankers who have, about harvest time, to provide more specie for their agricultural customers, and of capitalists who can make a profit by send ing silver abroad, since, at Hamburgb, for example, i t is still in much request. Corn operations it is reasonable to infer have had no great influence yet, whatever they may have. It is satisfactory to see the Government deposits rising. The exact variations com pared with the previous week were as follows: — Notes issued 26,693,925 Increase 3,610 Rest Increase Public Deposits 3,332,141 Increase Other Deposits 9,440,513 DecrQas9 Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Other Securities Decrease Notes Increase Bullion Decrease Active circulation Decrease The amount of the precious metals exported direct from London this week has been 177,000 ounces, and of gold coin 15,506 ounces. The only arrival to-day is from New York. The steamer United States, brings accounts of the 6th inst. The slaves in Cuba were again in a state of insurrection, but the Danish islands are quiet. The money market at New York was still rather tight. In a statement of commerce of New York for the month of July, it is shown that the total was 2,932,749 dollars, including, however, 744,983 dollars in specie. To Great Britain the exports were 1,100,434 dollars ; to France only 27,480 dollars; and a large proportion of the remaining sum to the British colonies. The trade of Boston also exhibits a falling off, the revenue from Customs being as follows : 1847. 1848. First Quarter dolls. 1,045,338 43 dolls. 1,300,683 37 Second Quarter dolls. 2,464,159 52 dolls. 2,416,438 54 This shows a decrease in the first six months of 1848, of 48,720 dolls. 2c. Both of these periods were under the same tariff; consequently there was but very little difference in the average rate of duty. The number of foreign arrivals for the six months in 1848 was 1,292, against 1,025 for the corresponding period in 1847, showing an increase in this year of 267, notwithstanding the falling off in the amount of duties. There are accounts from Rio de Janeiro by a ship of war, but we find nothing of particular interest in them. The continued prevalence of wet weather keeps down the value of the Funds, which otherwise might have rallied upon the more favourable Bank statement.. The condition of affairs at Paris is likewise calculated to excite a little uneasiness, and the promised explanations in Parliament about the position of Ireland in the mat ter of food will be looked for with great interest. Con sols have been 85} to 86 for transfer, and 85i to 86 for account, being now about 86. Exchequer-bills are 31s. to 355. premium; Bank Stock is 196 to 1971.

To-day the COMUSSIONRII said that he considered the bankrupt was not called upon by any principle of law to set apart any portion of his future earnings for the liquidation of his old debts, and if he: did so it would be a very honourable feeling on his part, and probably he would do so. He (his Honour) should therefore grant the certificate without restriction. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. FOUR DAYS LATER. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. The United States steam-ship, from New York, ar rived in Cowes Roads this afternoon,:en route for Havre. She has made a rapid passage of twelve days and a half from port to port, having left New York on the evening of the sth instant. The United States brings on freight 116,000 dollars, besides a general cargo and fifty-one passengers, many of whom landed at Southampton, having been dispatched from Cowes in the Duke of Buccleugh steamer, specially engaged. The America, from Liverpool, arrived out on Friday morning, the 4th; the Hermann, from Southampton, did not arrive at New York until the .sth. The New York money market was easier; sterling Exchange, 1091. The export of cotton to Great Britain in the present year has been 1,245,000 bales; during the last week 20,000 ditto. The Atlantic cotton crop is extremely goad* Complaints of bad weather from New Orleans are little thought of. The papers are full of news conveyed by the first named ship, and the state of affairs in Europe aro dwelt upon at great length. The New York Morning Express, in a sort of leader upon the subject, says— " The news from Ireland is the leading intelligence that we have from Europe, and that shows, if the Irish people were like any other people in the world, that the next ar rival would bring us the accounts of a revolt and a rebel lion. Again, if the Irish people are sincere, and anything like unanimity exists, the rebellion, if attempted, will be successful, and England and Ireland will part to meet no , More. "But Ireland and the Irish are a peculiar people. Unani mity does not exist, though it seems to exist. But half of what is said is really:meant. It does not follow that there will be a rebellion, because everybody' is drilling, and training and marching ; and if attempted, in all probability it will be terribly crushed by the irresistible and united energy of the British Government. " Meanwhile there is interest enough in the news, and ex citement enough to make us look with anxiety for the next arrival." The news from France was also received with groat interest, and copious extracts from the Parisian and London journals are given in all the Now York papers. INSURRECTION AT CUBA. The New York Weekly Herald gives - a brief account of an insurrection which had broken out in the Island of Cuba. It says— "lntelligence of an insurrection in the island of Cuba was received last evening. Oar accounts state that the revolu tionists and the Government troops had a terrible conflict in the streets of Havannab, and that the former were worsted, And compelled to fly to the mountains. "The proceedings in Congress yesterday were of the usual character; for the report of which, together with other mat ters, we refer to our dispatches." The Express, on the same subject, states:— " WASIILNGTON, AUG. 4. "Information from Cuba via Pensacola, has been received here. It states that very serious revolutionary outbreaks had broken out in Cuba. "In Havannah the Government troops and the revolu tionists had been fighting desperately. Several hundred had been killed on both sides,, when fi na lly the patriots were forced to retire to the mountains. THE LATE REBELLION AT ST. CROIX. In reference to the recent revo l t o f the slave popula tion at St. Croix, it had been ascertained at New York, by an arrival from St. Thomas's, that order had bean re stored on the islands, the bla c k s h av ing submitted and re t u rned to their work. Everything was going on as previous to the outbreak. ;MEXICO. Later intelligence had been received from Mexico, via New Orleans, bat it is of not much importance. The dates are,—City of Mexico, July 18; and Vera Cruz, July 22. No further progress had been made in the contest be tweea the Government forces and the insurgents under raredes. Both armies were suffering in consequence of inade quate supplies of provisions. Government is said to have become dissatisfied with the conduct of Bustamente. It is probable that he will be superseded in the command of the army. - All public offices connected with the American army in Vera Cruz wore to close on or before the 28th. General Smith and staff would evacuate the city on the following day. Very few United States troops remained there, and it was probable 'that all would leave with General Smith. The United States steam-ship Scorpion arrived off H am pton Roads on the 3d instant. She brings news that at Campeche and Sisal the Indians were tolerably quiet, but further down the coast they had committed sad depredations, and had killed several Mexicans. , NEW YORK COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, AUGUST 4.—The week's later news brought by the steam-ship America, and published in an extra Herald, had the effect of checking transactions in most de scriptions of produce. The news did not become public till time ' about two o'clock, P.m. , at too late a p eriod in the day fo r its effects to become deve lo pe d on the mar ket.

Iljg lodgings were subsequently searched, but nothing has yet transpired as to the nature of the evidence against him. lie iff confined in the station house of the F division, in Bow-street, and it is supposed he will be brought before the magistrates at the head office some time this evening; nothing bad been determined on the sub ject when we went to press.

BANKRUPT LAW OF ENGLAND REPORT. By the Lords Committees appointed a Select Committee to consider of the Bill, intituled " An Act to consoli date and amend the Bankrupt Law of England;" and to whom were referred two petitions on the subject of the Bankrupt Law. Ordered to report,—That the Committee have met, and lost no time in proceeding with the important Bill to them referred. They have sat fifteen days consecutively, and examined a great number of witnesses, as well persons en gaged in trade, wholesale and retail, as Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, Registrars of Bankrupts. Courts, offi cial assignees, barristers and solicitors, and others. They have examined, amongst others, the principal persons who have lately presented to this House the petitions referred to the Committee, and they have examined such persons/as these petitioners suggested to be examined. Upon some points, both of the existing law of debtor and ereditor, and of the changes proposed in the Bill, there has been an entire concurrence of opinion and of evidence in all the wanesses examined. Upon other points there has been a difference of opinion, greater or less. To the former head belong the subject of the change in the bankruptcy administration instituted by the Act of 1831. All the opinions and all the evidence, without any exception, is in favour of that new system, as a great improvement, and as universally approved by the mercantile world. There is the same unanimity of opinion and evidence in favour of the proposed extension of the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, so as to retain the appeal within the bankrupt court, subject to ultimate review of the Great Seal ; of the conferring upon them, under proper guards, a direst power of penal jurisdic tion ; of the change in the procedure by abolishing the fiat, and substituting a direct petition to the Court ; and of other changes proposed by the Bill. There is likewise the same agreement of opinion in considering the proposed digest as a valuable addition to the statute law. To the head of points on which there is a difierence of opinion belong the important subject of arrest on mesue pro cess, and the late Acts respecting protection to insolvents the effects of these changes in the law upon the security of creditors, upon the protection of unfair debtors, upon the en enabling fraud to be practised, upOn the postponing declara tions of insolvency by persons whose circumstances are fail ing; there is also a great diversity of opinion on the very important and difficult subject of assimilating the law touching traders and nontraders, and consolidating under one court the administration of that law. Upon these important subjects great discrepancy of opinion and of evidence exists; and there is some, though not con siderable, exception to the general concurrence of opinion in favour of the transfer to the Court of the power of granting certificates. There is hardly any difference of opinion in re spect of the propriety of paying the official assignees in a different manner, so as to equalize the profits more nearly, and yet to give a duo stimulus to the activity of each. There seems as considerable a concurrence in favour of the course proposed, that the balance-sheet should be made out in the official assignee's office, and that he should have a reasonable remuneration for this increased work and labour. Under these circumstances the Committee recommend that the Bill to them referred should not be further proceeded with during the present session ; but that, as early as may be in next session, this Committee, or any other to be named by the House, should further proceed to consider the matters on which the discrepancy above referred to exists, and on which they are not at present prepared to report any opinion to the House. And the Committee have directed the minutes of evidence, together with an appendix and index thereto, to be laid be fore your Lordships. - -- - GERMAN PROJECTS OF UNITY AND REGENERATION. - - On the 6th August last the whole of Germany made a demonstration to celebrate the unity of the German na tion. An act of homage was performed by the armies of the several States to the new Vicar-General the Arch duke John, of Austria. From Berlin to Munich, and from Hamburgh to Carlsruhe the German banner waved, and a simultaneous shout of exultation was raised, in which all classes of the community joined with more or less sincerity. One great fact has, therefore, been some what pompously announced to the world. Thirty mil lions of civilised citizens have declared their desire to unite their forces for the purpose of attaining their com mon weal. The French have done the same on many occasions. For a long succession of years the fetes of July recalled the revolution of 1830 to the minds of the people. In February of the present year, trees of liberty were everywhere planted throughout the same country in token of the emancipation of the people from the sys tem which theft/es of July had celebrated. In Italy, too, the banner of union has floated on every tower from Milan to Palermo. The watchword of liberty, whether " Pio Nono," or " Carlo Alberto," was as current on every tongue and as familiar to the ears of twenty mil lions of Italians, as that of the " Reichsoerweser" was in Germany on the 6th August. We shall not, therefore, appear hypercritical if we look upon the demonstration in favour of German unity as the mere expression of a wish, of no greater promise in its present phase than its precursors in France and Italy, a dream of what ought to exist, and might, perhaps, under very favourable cir cumstances be achieved, but presenting at present no visible guarantees for its realization. Unhappily, as we examine further into the doings of our Teutonic neighbours, this dream of unity appears to rest upon the visionary substructure of her other dreams, of which we have only to state the nature in order to convince all who are awake, of the disappointment and confusion which cannot fail to ensue from a dependence upon them. There is a vision of political dominion which forms the back ground of the picture of unity conjured up at the moment, and which is not the less alluring because dangerously unsound, nor the less unreasonable that it appears to rest upon national wants, and to be within the compass of national exertion. The candidates for the leadership in the State, which it is now attempted to ' form, make no attempt to conceal that unity in Germany is intended to form an arm which shall raise discord in abundance beyond the German frontier. These states men have shaped out for their political career no such dull task as that of setting their households in order; of arranging and mediating between the claims and in terests of classes, and providing guarantees for the li berties, which they vote in abundance; or in resuscitat ing the trading activity which the despotic Governments were occasionally accused of having purposely under mined. The glory of the new Fatherland is not to be drawn from its own resources, not to bo worked out on its own soil. Conquest is the lure that is not plainly held up to view, but which is the theme of every sorg and of every speech, more or less covertly expressed as the class of hearers to whom each is addressed seems to require. The conquest of the sea board, or, at least, of the mouths of the great rivers, is the favourite vision of the moment. It is apparently demanded by the dignity of the Confederation, and by the interests of trade. Difficulties never deter dreamers, and to revolutionary writers all is practicable, The Sound of the Darda nells, like the Elbe and the Rhine, are sighing to be re am, Theeann gnedrrei Germ ans sifl ut i thisisnbeced ta t nac o a ash r kt d i e i 0 0 0 re lieved of the commercial restraints imposed by Danes end Dutchmen, as by Czars and Sultans. This is the project with which a writer, of no ordinary stamp, en tertains a people carried away by the enthusiasm engen dered by a successful revolution. To plans like these a. paper of standing like the Allgemeine Zeitung opens its columns. Regenerated and united Germany is to be the knight-errant of commercial freedom and of trading or ganization. sfe o aedl rti d ot ti o behysbe f , e o mt rbhsa accomplished, ct u v hoe r mes o . suppressionpp occupa tion i Is what fhewde g a as theykni z i h a lt a t i vw o e n h . a tl e w f e ne ar l e es t s old th t a h a at si i x t nearly territory ear e y t t h e territories fi double o h r e i e Germanic ot its exceedinginhabitants. b e i o t n a s n i t d s e . r Confederation,bTl h y aeb i s n diap e v x ece t n e pi n .lae t nds t b h oy e r Bohemia, Moravia, and Hungary, number eleven mil lions, the Hungarians are six millions, the Wallachians four millions, and the population of the Danish pro vinces of Turkey four millions.

This may seem !pretty well for one vision, and the reader may form from the mere enumeration of the ob jects comprised within its scope, a tolerably correct .zior, tion of its tubstantiality. But it is melancholy to see a nation professedly studious, and boastingly contemptuous in its criticisms of the deeds of its neighbours, so utterly unable to profit by their experience. Even the French Republicans well know the cost of a foreign war; the price in domestic liberty has been taught which must be paid for military glory. But the prospect of having some day to settle accounts with a Radetzky or a Wrangel, does not cross the mind of' a German any more than the extent or the numbers of the population of the fields to be conquered. Dutch and Danish men of-war and merchantmen, Polish scythemen and Lancers, the Hussars of Hungary, and the Coasacks of Russia, are to be dispersed to the four winds of heaven before the triumphant career of united Germany, which neither fears their hostility nor courts their co-operation. The second dream of the day is an orgnaization of in dustry, of a nature that would put Louis Blanc and the Communists to the blush, for they can scarcely have ex pected to be so much outdone in absurdity. The Atelier National supposed at least a concentration of force. It might be difficult to get some of the collaborateurs to work, but, it they were inclined, the Communists pro posed to give them the advantage of division of labour and of a command of machinery. But what are we to say to an organization on the principle of isolation? What is likely to be the amount of power exerted in scattered villages and hamlets, where competition is not to be extinguished by co-operation, but where each trades man, and of course each journeymen, is to be the judge of the extent of competition to be allowed in his locality, where the scattered sites 'of the dwellings precludes all concentration, whether of manual labour or of machinery, if indeed the latter be at all considered under circumstances which must preclude all accumula tion of capital. Our readers have to be told that a congress on industrial organization is now sitting, com posed of tradespeople, who have formally drawn up a proposal for reconstituting the guilds of the middle ages, 1 tor licensing all trades according to numbers, of which the said guilds are to be solo judges. As, of course, no one class of the community can at the present day arm gate to itself such a power without seeming to have the good of the other classes at heart, the same kind of right must be conceded in self-defence to the workmen, who will then fix the number of hands that each master shall employ. Between the two the market price of goods will of course be fixed, and must be maintained by protecting duties on foreign products. Since the manufacturing population (being the majority) will hardly allow themselves to be victimised in this manner without retaliation; we may expect that they will devise the means of fixing the price of bread end meat, and that they will forthwith impose corn-duties on fixed or sliding scales, according to the apparent urgency of the case, and thus seek to reimburse themselves of the sums of which the tradesmen shall have mulcted them. Hence, according to the plan sketched_ out by the " Gewenb Congress," we should see every faulty are rangement that has been successively discarded from the last century downwards re-established. Corn:, awe, pro hibitive duties, trades' unions, and b or p oration guilds, would combine to construct a s ocial and industrial edifice of so wenderf , il a natur e, that, as we have sai d, .. , . -,-, C IL:: Jr 11 0„ :,....- , ... 10 itia Zialli.:l:4 10 1)9.;:iaqi::.:,.....- f the Pkeliiirtire and the Atelier National would seem models of perfection beside its hideous deformity. This is the second vision of United Germany, and one which has, like its political fellow, no small number of enthu siastic admirers. Upon these visionary crutches the unity of Germany is likely to make slow progress to realization, nor can it with such arms stand its ground against the deeply rooted prejudices, the palpable interests, the analyzing scrutiny of practical men. Kings, priests, nobles, manufacturers, and workmen, will be impelled by in stinct to distrust, and may be driven by hunger to scout it. Before it is too late something ought surely to be done to avert the confusion which seems courted on all sides. If nations dream they must be aroused to a sense of realities like other people, and the statesman who has not nerve to declare the truth when its concealment is likely to prove ruinous to his country, deserves to be scouted by contemporary as he assuredly will be by posthumous history. FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night] : • - The Constitutionatal says : " The rumour has been current for some days past that a new tumultuous manifestation was in the course of being organized in Paris, and that it was looking out for a pretext. Italy, it was said, was this time to be the mot d'ordrAgoland was on the 15th of May, and the parti es werejp ihide themselves behind the Legitimist flag, as tht t ykad formerly borrowed that of Prince Louis Na poleour, It is said that the intention was to make an imperious demand for an amnesty, sad a declaration in favour of the system of M. Proudhon, &c. The autho rities have taken measures of precaution, and, in case of necessity, of repression, but the rumour appears to be without any serious foundation." The Univers says, that. in the event of its being determined that Lombardy shall be an independent state, it is proposed that it sbould be conferred upon the Duke of LEUCIITENBEIG i with the title of Duke of Milan. " This combination," says the finiverg, " would be agreeable at the same time to France, to Russia, and a portioe of the people of Lombardy, who would receive with joy the son of Prince EUGENE." '- The Courtier de la Drdme gives the following ac count of the army of the Alps :-- " The army of the Alps had made a movement in ad vance. The following are the new positions:—The first division is to march immediately and concentrate itself round Briancon, where the head-quarters will be esta blished. The second division will rest on Grenoble. The third divison is arriving by forced marches from Paris to take a position round Iyons. The fourth divi sion (the reserve), which left Briancon about a month ago for the interior, is also on its march to concentrate itself at Bourg." • NAPLES. The Semaphore de Marseille: quotes a letter from Naples, stating that a formidable expedition was being prepared against Sicily, and, on the 6th, 50 sailing vessels and steamers, with 20,000 troops on board, were ready to put to sea. The Chambers, observes that journal, were not consulted respecting the expedition, the preparations of which continued, notwithstanding the presence of the British fleet. ROME AND THE LEGATIONS. The Alba of Florence publishes a notice by the Prolegate of Bologna, dated the 9th, thanking the people for their heroic resistance of the Austrians, and informing them that an indemnity for their time will be paid to such as require it. He advises the people not to rely with too much confidence on the terror that they have inspired, but to organize them selves in order to be well prepared against any other attacks. The POPE has published the following protest against the occupation of the States of the Holy See effected by the Austrian troops : 1 "From the beginning of his pontificate, his Holiness, considering the condition of the Pontifical States and that of the States of Italy, as common father of the princes and people, equally opposed to external wars and to in testine discord, imagined and undertook the negotiation of a league between the princes of the Peninsula, this being the only mesas capable of satisfying the desires of its inhabitants without violating the rights of their princes; and at the same time did not oppose the ten dencies of the people towards a well-understood liberty. These negotiations were partly seconded, and remained partly fruitless. Next came the great European events, followed by those in Italy and the war. The Holy Father, always faithful to the same course, to his great regret declared himself opposed to taking a part in the war, but neglected no pacific means to obtain the full intent he had proposed to himself. But this conduct, inspired by prudence and meekness, has not prevented, to his great surprise, an Austrian army from entering his states and occupying some territories, declaring that the occu pation was but temporary. It is therefore necessary to make known to all that the dominion of the Holy See is violated by this occupation, which, whatever might have been the intention, could never be justly effected without preceding notice and the necessary consent. In so hard a necessity in which the violence of ex ternal enemies and the snares of interior ones place him, the Holy Father gives himself up into the hands of Divine Justice, and will bless the use of the means to be employed according to circumstances; and, while protesting by means of his Cardinal Secretary of State against such an act, he appeals to all friendly powers, that they may assume the protection of the States for the preservation of their liberty and integrity, for the protection of the Pontifical subjects, and above all for the independence of the Church. " G. CARD. SOGLIA. " Rome, Aug. 6. " The Secretary of State." A letter from Rome, of the Yth, states that the fol lowing list of the new Ministry had been communi cated to the Chamber of Deputies, via.—Count Fenn', Interior ; Di Rossi, Grace and Justice ; Lenin, Fi nance • GUARINI, Commerce and Industry, and, pro visionally, Public Works ; Count Csatrznno, Arms ; PERFETTI, Police ad interim. LOMBARDY. The Piedmontese Gazzela del Popelo publishes the proclamations of CHARLES ALBERT to the army and the nation, accompanied with the assurance that the lirria is fully determined on continuing the war, and that the whole population will follow his summons to the field. The names of several priests and dignitaries of the Church are given, who preach that the war with Austria is a holy war, and at the head of which stands the Bishop of Cuneo, Monsignore AlAutzxm. This paper contains an energetic appeal not only to all classes of the inhabitants, but to the officers and persons in authority, urging each to undertake the necessary responsibility at so critical a moment, and not to wait for orders in using every exertion to keep the army supplied, and to reinforce it by all possible disposable hands.

Barley harvest is in Lull operation; some of these crops are CKcelleut, though perhaps short in straw; but the wheat crops are sbov all well filled and set, and it is remarkable that, notwith standing former adverse appearances, these crops in this locality will be generally, especially the spring-sown, an average.
