When M. DE CORMENIN, with that delicate eccen tricity which is the characteristic of his sublime rant, cast his eyes back through " the bloody and dishevelled dramas of the Revolution" until his gaze turned from the agonies of ANDRE CHENIEIL on the scaffold of the guillotine, to the musings of the young DE PRAT under the seven lime trees of Milly—he little anticipated the futurity reserved for the latter, its glory and its sorrow, its height and its depth, its many sufferings and its insufficient consolations. Half of that strange destiny which is only yet par tially accomplished presented itself to the retrospec tion of the biographer, and it was then that TiMOll exclaimed—" At the moment when the gentle CRENIER drops his lyre, a noble youth, with fair hair, is growing up on the borders of the Saone ; that youth will pick up CHENIER'S Greek lyre ; he will join on to it a Christian strin g ; and the world, surprised, rapt with this new melody, will repeat with love the name of LAMAR TINE." Only half, we say, of the career of this remarkable man was then visible to M. DE CORMENIN. He was altogether incapable of appreciating the genius of the Lyrist who had scarcely at that time afforded a glimpse of his versatility, and upon whose fame were about to be inscribed so many titles to immortality Orator Poet Diplomatist —His torian Patriot Philanthropist —Administrator— Statesman ! Latterly, it is true, the various abilities of M. DE LAMARTINE hare manifested themselves in an extraordinary manner, and have gone very far in deed to verify the predictions which were pronounced many years back by Lady HESTER STANHOPE on the occasion of his pilgrimage to her residence on the mountains of Lebanon. The Revolution of February elicited all the p owers o f L AMARTINE, and at once ranked his name among those of the most memorable men who have ever lived. He showed himself to be as great in action as ho had previously been in thought. He showed that his sensibility was accom panied by courage, and that while he could enrapture the soul with his song, he could save a country by his heroism. One thing was alone wanting to render the narrative of his life in some degree kindred to the personal histories of the great men of antiquity. It was necessary that his memoirs should illustrate anew the fickleness of popularity, and that he should experience in all their poignancy the calamities of an undeserved dovvnfal. He has done this. The resemblance has been so far perfected that mis fortune has imparted to it an air classic in every shade of its contour. LAMARTINE, after being the salvation of the Republic, has been the object of its calumny and ingratitude. Every action of his offi cial career has been distorted into a crime against the People; he has, with that inconsistency of slander - which is sufficient of itself to prove its absurdity, been accused at once of an ambition the most daring and of a we a k ness th e most p i t i a bl e; h e h as b een taxed with emb ezz li ng t h e pu b l i c monies, and with jeopardizing the democratic Government. At last LAMARTINE has descended into the ar ena an d con fronted his assailants, more out of consideration, as h e the himself asserts, to ten departments whi c h nomi nated him a repr esentative . of th e peop l e w i t h t h e ac clamation o f two million 1c of solicitud e in regard tovh°ieos reputation. 'than from any f ee li ng In complian ce with thpemsown demands s of th e occurrence, and in fulfilm en t o f our roe of yesterday, we f ee l ourselves compelled to allude in a P ticular manner to the pamphlet* just add ressed to his electors by M. DE LAMARTINE. The opening of the " Letter " is written in a strain of dignity and simplicity expressive of the reluctance with which a reserved mind is compelled to print and publish its vindication. No less than twenty-four distinct charges are there enumerated, the author announcing his determi ne _ tion to reply to each of those inculpations, one by one, in deliberate rotation, and to do so merely by stating facts, not by attempting their refutation. We * In a few days wo shall resume our translations from this pamphlet, and continue them until its completion. THE SUN, LONDON, THUR'SDA It EVENING, SEPTEMBFR 7, tuft have already enabled the people of this country to judge • fur themselves as to the manner in which this determination has been carried out, by giving the first accusation and the first reply in our impression of yesterday. At present, therefore, we shall simply glance at some of the more conspicuous passages in the defence. One sentence, perhaps, more than all the rest put together, filled us with profound emo tion on its perusal —we mean that sentence in which M. DE LAMARTINE observes that very soon after the outbreak of the revolution he conceived the idea of abolishing the penalty of death for political offences, and that, to use his own expression, " the same inspiration descended about the same time from heaven into the breasts of his col leagues." He adds that after the abolition of death was unanimously voted, the members of the Pro visional Government fell into the arms of each other, and gave each other the kiss of life. " Was this," exclaims LAMARTINE, "was this, I ask of you, a concession to the executioner or to GOD ?" As to the charge of his complicity with Communism, he con tents himself with referring to the speech delivered by him to the Communist artisans when they descended en masse upon the Hotel de Ville, a speech which was quoted the day afterwards in the columns of the 11Ioniteur, and in the course of which he made that memorable declaration, that if he were to be placed at the month of twenty pieces of cannon he would never sign the phrase Organization du Travail. A declaration, it must be acknowledged, wonderfully indicative of weakness! Notwith standing such striking evidences as this, M. DB LAMARTINE finds himself accused of making cowardly concessions to the multitude. In answer to this, he refers to his having, again and again, on the night of the 25th of February, repelled the red banner of sedition at the risk of his lite—to his peremptory rejection of the de mands made by a vast crowd on the occasion of the famous demonstration of March, to the remarks with which he responded to the partizans of Poland, and to the refusal which he gave to the demands of the Irish demagogues. All of these occurrences, of course, affording signs of unparalleled pusil lanimity ! As to his having secretly promoted the attempts of armed propagandism against Belgium, Germany, Savoy, and other countries, he appeals for the denial of this assertion to those parties who would be most certain in the event of his guilt to pronounce his condemnation : " Yes," he cries, " I appeal to all Republics, to all Courts, to all Ministers, to the Ambassadors of the na• tions which I am accused of having openly assured, whilst I secretly deceived. If there be one which accuses the Minister of Foreign Affairs of complicity, or even negligence, in the repression of these attempts, if there be one who does not attest the frankness and vigour of the foreign policy of the Provisional Government, I de clare myself convicted of felony." After pausing upon each of these infamous calum nies, and demonstrating their emptiness with a calm voice such as belongs only to the serenity of innocence, LAMARTINE draws his eloquent pamphlet to a con clusion. There is something eminently touching in the tone in which he bids farewell to his eleetors, after having shown that they have no reason to blush for their representative, either as a renegade, a traitor, or a conspirator. " Citizens," says he, " accept my adieux. Nominated ten times by you as a signification, and not as a man, confounded henceforth in the ranks of simple representatives, descended from a power too high for my ambition, and desiring that I may never ascend to it again, forget me, but do not accuse me. Perhaps (he con tinues in a noble spirit of retrospection), per haps there was one day in which I merited your suffrages—it was the day in which I sacrificed them to concord. For myself, I shall bear you in my me mory all the days of my public life. Every time that I shall cast into the urn a vote of good intent towards the people of firmness :against faction, of good for the country, for family, for property, for society, for conscience, I will say to myself lam casting your vote with my own—l will say that two millions are voting through me for this unanimous Republic, which, in your eyes as well as in mine, im plies the interests of all legitimatised by the will of all, and defended by the hands of all, under the most free and most potent of governments." Such has been the vindication published by LA MARTINEI of the three glorious months of his Admi. nitration—a defence as pure as his life, as eloquen as his poetry, and as generous as his heart. Thai such a man should have been compelled to write the apology of such a career is a circumstance which casts an indescribable shame upon his contemporaries, and illustrates in a manner altogether without a pa rallel the vicissitudes of popularity and the peril of revolutions. The session and the season draw to their close, the echoes of St. Stephen's no longer resound with Par liamentary orations, and the streets of May-fair no more re-echo with the midnight roll of carriages. London is rapidly returning to its state of primitive desolation; hereditary and representative legislators, weary with many months of arduous and monotonous exertion, seek a temporary relaxation in private and provincial life. Peace be with them ! May their hours of idleness give them new vigour for future la bours. The present session has drawn to its close at an inauspicious period. The disturbances in the sister country have cast a gloom over our political horizon. Happily the mists are now dispersing. Th 3 threatened tempest has melted harmlessly away, Still, the disturbances and the apprehended disturb ances on the other side of St. George's Channel have frustrated an event which was to have marked the termination of the season—namely, her MA JESTY'S long-projected visit to Ireland. There are few political or semi-political events which we should hail with such sincere exultation as Queen VIC TORIA'S visit to her Irish dominions, and, it is need less to add, her hearty reception by her Irish sub jects. It is certainly needless to say that her recep tion would be a hearty one, her MAJESTY would be hailed with enthusiastic transport by that warm hearted, generous, and impressionable people. Her visit would be no ordinary royal visit—it would be an event in the national history. VICTORIA would appear in Ireland not as a sovereign among her subjects she would come as the angel of peace, as the harbinger of hope, as the living evidence of the unity of the British empire ; and, above all, her visit would attest that truth which we continually assert, and which the Irish malcontents as continually deny, that Ireland is not despised and neglected, and unjustly used. Queen VICTORIA'S visit to Dublin Castle would infallibly do all this, and infinitely more, but, unhappily, that visit is again necessarily retarded for a time. 'We recognise the necessity, but we regret it most unfeignedly. We will trust, however, and our " wish" is most certainly "father to the thought," that, ere long, our anticipations in this respect may be realised, and that the Queen of IRELAND may be welcomed in one of the most beautiful portions of her dominions by the most devoted of her subjects. We anxiously look forward to the day—Gon grant it be not distant—when peace shall again abound in Ireland, and not peace only, but comfort and content.. ment—when the voice of the malcontents, of those evil-disposed men who would gratify a personal vanity or a mad ambition though torrents of blood should flow in the attempt, shall be no longer heard ; or, if heard, unheeded. Unhappily, these political fire brands have recently been only too effectual. Their words found a ready echo in the bad hearts whom they appealed to. Heaven knows, the Irish people have been sorely tried, and none have recog nised the extent, or sympathised with the heavi• ness of their trials, more readily and more heartily, than the people of England. In this we have done only right—" Are we not brethren ?" That we recognise the relationship has been? unmistakeably attested by our sorrow for their sufferings and our assistance in their need. Would that the Irish on their side would recognise the relationship ! Would that they would see in us not Saxons and strangers, but fellow-countrymen and fellow-Christians. They will do this yet we trust. All may yet be well. The severe measures recently adopted by the Legislature have been sanctioned, and even rendered merciful, by the exigency:of the case. It is the first duty of the Government to repress tumult and disorder, but that being repressed, peace and order being again established, it becomes an object of paramount im portance to prevent any similar recurrence. Now is the time to put the shoulder to the wheel, and, by the help of Heaven, the regeneration of Ireland will be very speedily achieved. Now is the time for English And Irish to forget their routpal dissensions and forgive their mutual wrongs. Now, especially, is the time for Irishmen to attest the genuineness of their patriotism, of that patriotism which seeks not notoriety for a few but the benefit of all. Let the Irish patriots stand forward there is room for them, and their advent will be hailed with sincere joy, with joy nowhere more sin cere than on this side of the Channel. Let the patriots of Ireland, the truefriends of their country and the lovers of their countrymen, come forward — there is work for them to do. Let them teach the starving peasant that the remedy for his sorrows is in his own right hand, but that that hand must grasp the ploughshare and not the pike. Let them teach the clamourers for repeal, that the welfare of Ireland de pends more on her people than on her Parliament. Without moral courage, steady industry, and un swerving perseverance on the part of the people them selves, a Parliament at College-green would be only an addition to their grievances. These and many other similarly important truths have yet to be im pressed on the minds of the Irish people. If the pre sent opportunity be made use of for that purpose, the vacation may be productive of more benefits than the session. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the French papers of yesterday. General CHARRON has been appointed Governor- General of Algeria. General CHAREON has served many years in Africa, and at the time of his appoint ment was Director-General of the affairs of Algeria in the Ministry of War. The Constitutionnel announces that General LA• MORICIERB has been appointed to the command of the Army of the Alps, which is receiving reinforcements daily. General BEDEAU, who is nearly recovered from the effects of his wound, will, it is said, succeed General LAMORICIERE as Minister of War. Nothing certain is known with regard to the much agitated question of intervention in Italy, although rumours of the departure of troops for that country are daily circulated. The Caurrier de Lyon says that telegraphic orders have been received at Toulon far the immediate em barkation of an expeditionary force for one of the ports of Tuscany, or of the Pontifical States. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles of the 3d announces the embarkation of troops from that port for the Roman States. It says-- "Information, which we receive from a good source, enables us to affirm that the 20th and 35th regiments of the line, forming a brigade, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark this evening. The destination of these troops remain a mystery. This brigade will have as auxiliary a battery of artillery, which arrived yesterday by the Rhone steamer and by the railway, and a eompany of the 2d regiment of Engi neers, about 150 strong. An administrative service, with provision stores, hospital stores, &c., are to accompany the brigade. It is also positively stated that an orderly officer of the Minister of War arrived this morning at Marseilles, bearing the orders relative to the immediate departure of these troops. In consequence of his in• structions to the General of Division, the above regi ments have augmented their effective force; as, in place of six companies per battalion, precedently designated, they are to furnish eight, composed each of 103 men, ex• elusive of officers and non-commissioned officers. It does not appear that these troops are destined for an expedi tion of war, although each man has 20 cartridges. What leads us to put forth that opinion?—That full uniform has been enjoined for every one, officers and soldiers; and this particularity, which is not ordinary for troops entering on a campaign, leads to the idea that the brigade is rather destined to compose a guard of honour for the protection of the Pope, and to ensure to his au thority a prestige which agitators aro endeavouring to wrest from him. The departure of this brigade is sub ordinate to the arrival of steamers, which are expected from Toulon, and to that of the General who is to take the command of the expedition. That officer, however, is probably within our walls at the moment of our writ ing. These brave regiments will be immediately replaced in our garrison." The discussion on the Constitution was continued yesterday in the National Assembly, and it is not probable that the Constitution will be voted before the beginning of November. The Assembly will then, it is said, adjourn for two months, and re-as semble in January for the purpose of voting the or ganic laws. The Iliessager of Tuesday evening contains the following strange announcement : " A most unexpected candidate is said to be immedi ately about to come forward for the Presidency. M. Thiers is inclined to present himself, in the coarse of the debate on the constitution, as the only man capable of founding the policy of conciliation between the Con servatives of all shades." Every day the number of amendments on the draf of the constitution increases in a frightful manner, Yesterday twenty-seven were distributed to the As sembly, which makes the total number presented sixty-eight. Great joy was yesterday occasioned among a cer tain portion of the population of the Rue Popincourt by the arrival of sixty-seven inhabitants arrested during the journees of June, but set at liberty yester day morning. When called into the court-yard the men' . believed they were about to be sent off-to Havre, as they did not know in what position the charges against them stood, but on learning they were to be set at liberty they expressed great delight. On Saturday forty prisoners of the same quarter were also set at liberty. The Moniteur 'promulgates a decree, issued by the chief of the Executive Government, dated August 16, whereby, after reciting that the ordonnance of 16th May, 1830, divided the Academie des Inscrip tions et Belles Lettres into five categories, but that it behoved the Government of the Republic to maintain the principle of equality in the National Institute, and as the Academie des Inscriptions, by its resolu tion of August 4 in the present year, concurred in this principle, articles 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, and 69 of the regulations of the Academy, come to at its sit ting of 22d May, 1829, confirmed by the said ordon nance of 16th May, 1830, are abrogated ; but articles 62 and 63, which establish a complete equality in the partition of the indemnity allowed to the Aca demy by the State among all the members, is main tained. We read in the Journal du Havre— " On Sunday afternoon a number of harvest men, the old coming from the di rect i on o f C ures, passed along Rue Royale, at M ont i v illi ers, i n a large waggon, over which they imprudently displayed a white flag. They were at once hailed with cries of A has les Chouans et la Banniare de la Legitimite l' and the exasperation ex. cited in a great number of the citizens by so audacious a manifestation had very nearly brought on a collision, the consequences of which might have been deplorable. Oa seeing such unequivocal marks of public irritation, the reapers found it prudent to beat a retreat, and moved off in the direction of Fontaine." The day after the Lampion was suspended by order of General CAvAiGnac, M. DE CALONNE, the chief editor, and M. MAGNE, the director of that journal, brought out a successor to it, entitled the Bouehe de Fer. They were tried yesterday by the tribunal of Correctional Police, on a charge of having• published a journal without making the deposit of the caution money. They were condemned each to a month's imprisonment, and a fine of 200 f. A letter from Lyons says : " During the two months and a half since the pre mium on the exportation of silks was granted, our cus tom-house has sent off silks to the amount of 15,130,000 f., and consequently the towns of Lyons and St. Etienne will have received premiums to the amount of 680,000 f. It is believed that between this time and January next there will be exported 6,000,000 f. worth of silks, making the total amount upon which premiums may be claimed 40,000,000 f. The share of St. Etienne in these ex • portations is proportionally much greater than that o Lyons." BOURSE,.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 6.

The Guia del Comercio states that the price of wheat at Caceres, Estremadura, at this moment, is only 22 reels per fanega, which is about 235. per quarter, yet, with all this low state of prices and great abundance, it is doubted whether any very considerable quantity could be sent to England, owing, first of all, to the enormous expense of transport to the coast, from the defect, or rather absence, of means of communication, and also partly, to the great rise of prices occasioned by a demand to any extent. The letter quoted in the Guia com plains of the abundance, and blames the farmers for sowing so much, and thereby encumbering them selves with a crop which is of no adequate value, as they have no means of getting rid of it to advantage; and this is pretty much the case with other corn dis tricts in Leon, Salamanca, &c., though the naviga tion of the Douro affords some facilities to the latter. At Santander, which is the port to which wheat is usually sent from Castille, the average price during last month was 42 reels per fanega, or about 445. per quarter. The Carlists are acting with great vigour in the provinces. CABTELLS has placed Bergs, in Upper Catalonia, in a state of blockade, in consequence of its not having paid its contribution to him. IL: has placed a small force to watch the place, and has dis patched orders to the neighbouring villages pro hibiting the inhabitants from holding any intercourse with Bergs, an order which they have implicitly obeyed. On the 23d ult. not an individual entered the town. FORCADELL is at Beceite, organizing his men. He is at the head of an imposing force, and if he had arms to give all his men, the throne of ISA BELLA would be in great danger. I.—Three per Cents , 19 to 7SlbPPlyvers.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES, AUSTRIA. After more than three weeks' debate on the ques tion of the abolition of all feudal dues with or with out compensation, the Constituent Assembly ap pointed a committee to examine all the various amendments (more than 100), and form theni into one proposition. This was accordingly done, and the proposition was brought under discussion on the 30th ult. The debate was adjourned till the next day, when a resolution in favour of the abolition of all feudal dues was unanimously carried. A stormy debate, however, ensued on the question whether there should be compensation for the abolition of those dues. It was finally resolved that in certain cases there should be compensation given, in others not. This vote will save the Ministry, inasmuch as the principleof no compensation, a principle on which the Cabinet had staked itsexistence, has been recog nized.

The reports having been read, the House proceeded to discuss the first article, which was supported by M. HANSLMANN and SCHEELE, who, among other facts, stated that the produce of beet had increased by improved manufac ture from five to seven and a half per cent., or fifty per cent, and it was the conviction of the Government that the producers could well support the increase not of a dollar, but of 20 s. g. Messrs. SCIINEIDER, TEczNowsxr, and several others, vigorously opposed the Bill, which, neverth' less, came to a division, and was carried by 195 to 131, giving Ministers a majo rity of 64. The passing of this Bill will be the forerunner of equal success to that on brandies, and thus secures the Cabinet for the time. Count LODEN, a Noble of Pomerania, has convoked a " Parliament" of nobles and landowners, fer the purpose of watching the proceedings of the National Assembly. The cholera is on the increase in Berlin. The number of new cases from the 31st to the Ist were 50. The total number of official cases amount to 327, the deaths to 235, cured 3S, under treatment 104. MO NE Y ens: CO C 1 CITY, QUARTEIt TO THREE. The Cotton Mat ket. at Liverpool yesterday was T,teady. Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bales. There was very little doieg in shares, and prices were lower. There are no ship arrivals with later news direct from foreign parts, but we learn that accounts of June 27, from Monte Video have been received in the United States, containing the offieiel notification by the French Consul of the raising of the blockade of Buenos Ayres. What the next step is to be we shall wait with interest to see, but we fear there is very little prospect of peace. It will be useful to notice, as tending to elicit the real facts of the case, that private and commercial letters from Canada by the last mail present a continuous statement of the political and commercial embarrass ments of the province, and what adds, it is stated, to the general feeling of discontent is, that Lord Elgin is re ported to be about to resign the Governor-Geiteralship, on the plea of the indisposition of Lady Elgin. It is true that her Ladyship is iu a very delicate state of health, but some of the writers, perhaps rather unreasonably, contend that it is not a sufficient ground to leave the province in its present very unsettled condition. The last dispatches, it is rumoured, that have been re ceived in Downing-street, are not calculated to raider the commencement of the recess very agree able to the Noble Secretary of State. Nothing, it is said, can more clearly illustrate the shifts the Provincial Government is put to in or tar to create a demonstration of public feeling in their favour, than an attempt recently had recourse to in Montreal by a member of the Executive Council to get up a public meeting of the Irish people, there to pass a vote of confidence in the Colonial Government. The Mayor of Montreal was to have Eskan the chair; but no sooner had the object of the meeting become known than it was interrupted by about two thousand Irish, accompa nied with flags and banners, and resolutions of u very opposite tendency were passed, to the great discomfiture of the Government, who were driven to such a manceuvre to sustain their tottering position. It appears that the French are divided into two par ties, the Lafoutaines and the Papineaus. The latter is said to be gaining daily strength, and it is supposed that he may, out of spite to Lafontaine, join the remnant of the old family compact party, and oust the present im becile Government. In fact, the present state of things requires, it is urged, a Sydenham or a Metcalf to put to rights. In the midst of these provincial calamities, it appears that the crops, including potatoes, are above the a verage . A judgeship i s vacant by thedeath of Judge Jones, but is presumed that Mr. Sullivan will get the appoint menL Assuming that only a portion of these statements be correct, they are sufficient to induce inquiry and atten tion, for between the Irish, the French, and the sympa thisers, there are ample seeds of' discontent.

Madrid journals of the Ist instant have arrived. The Count of VISTA HERMOSA has resigned his office of Political Chief and Corregidor of Madrid. He will be succeeded by the Marquis of PEI NA FLORIDA. The mail from Madrid to Sarragossa was attacked on the 27th ult., in the neighbourhood of Barbastro, and robbed of 401,000 reals. General VILLALONGA has taken the command of the troops destined to act against the Carlists in Valencia and Maucia. A body of 500 political prisoners sailed from Cadiz on the 27th, for their place of banishment the Phillip pine Islands. The Padre Cznuo, Archbishop of CU➢A, one of the PRUSSIA. In the sitting of the Prussian National Assembly on the 2d instant, the report of the central section upon the proposed law for the augmentathn of the duties on home-made sugars and brandies was laid before the House. The project, consisting of two articles, runs thus :—Art. 1. The duties on beet-made sugar shall be augmented, on and from the Ist Sep tember instant, to 2 rix dollars per cwt., and to 3 groschen per cwt. on all red beet grown for the manu facture of sugar. Art. 2. The duties on brandies shall be augmented from 2 to 3 groschen upon each 20 quarts, and from 1 groschen 8 pfennings to 2 gros chen 6 pfennings upon brandies made in country dis tilleries. Brandies not made of mealy substances not to be affected by this law. The report terminated by proposing the rejection of both articles, on the ground of their extreme detri ment to the agricultural interests, and of their corn parative insignificant advantage to the State, the proposed increase being calculated not to produce more than 120,000 rix dollars. The report. which is of great length, is drawn up in a protective and anti-free-trade sense. It combats the statistical details drawn from DIETRICI'S tables, and brought forward by Government in favour of the project. Some of these details are not without interest. Ac cording to them it appears that foreign sugars being taxed at four rix dollars more than beet, that is, five instead of one rix dollar per cwt., and the produce of the latter being about 281,692 cwt., there is a loss to the state of 1,120,784 rix dollars; that the consump tion of raw sugar in Prussia and the Zollverein states had increased between 1822 and 1845, from 171,130 cwt. to 1,502,110 cwt., or ninefold, whereas the population of Prussia, including the Zollverein population, had only augmented from about eleven to twenty-nine millions, or little more than two and a half fold. That, as a proof of increase of consumption by diminution of duties, it is indisputable that when the duties on coffee were reduced in 1784 from 6 groschens to 3 groschens per lb., the excise increased from 300,000 to 5 00,000 rix dollars; that since the intro duction of beet sugar the prices had fallen from 30 to 18 rix dollars, and in lieu of losing, the State had considerably gained, as the duties on foreign sugar had augmented between 1837 and 1845 from 4,300,000 to 6 ,608,000 rix dollars, an increase of 2k millions. Dietrici estimates the consumption of sugar to have been 3 41-100 lbs. per head in 1837, and 5 16-100 lb s . i n 1845, a proo f th a t competition and diminished p r i ces h ave augmen t e d consumption The report declares that the difference of duty be. tween home and foreign sugar cannot be taken as a basis of comparison, as the loss, by inferiority of syrup, makes up the difference. The average quan tity of beet grown in the Saxon (Prussian) districts is estimated at 130 per cwt., which at 3 groschens the cwt., would produce 13 r.d. tax, a ruinous tax, according to the report. The average produce of a sugar manufactory to set down at 3,000 cwt., hitherto giving 3,000 r.d., but to be increased to 6,000 r.d., an increase that would force half the manufacturers to shut up their works, and thereby throw out of em ployment an immense number of hands. The report on the Brandy Bill contains no statistics ; it is filled up with reasoning s to prove that home-made brandies so closely connected with the culture of potatoes, and thence with the vital interests of landowners and peasants, should be protected; and moreover adds HUNGARY. The Alle;emeine Zeitang of the 21 instant publishes the following : " PESTII, Auc. 27.—T0-day's number of the Govern ment Gazette contains a royal decree to the Hungarian Minister of War, to dissolve all the regiments gar risoned in Hungary which do not belong to the Hun garian Crown, as well as those who are stationed in other parts of the Imperial dominions, with the ex ception of those regiments which are still opposed to the enemy in Italy. Very gloomy reports are in circulation in our city. Two couriers have just arrived, and bring the intelligence that a fresh attack at the Roman en campment took place last week, but the enemy was beaten off, with a loss on our side. It is reported that Jellalich caused Vukovar in Sclavonia, on the Danube, to be occupied. ITALY. PIEDMONT. CHARLES ALBERT has declared that, unless he can obtain peace on honourable terms, he will, at the conclusion of the armistice, resume arms to conquer the independence of Italy. He has also announced his intention of taking a certain number of Swiss troops into bis pay. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the Ist of Septemter, publishes an ordonnance, containing various regu lations with respect to the uniform, &c., of the troops, and a circular, addressed to the commanders of military divisions, inviting them to further the KING's views, and to provide as promptly, and with as little expense as possible, for the equipment of the troops. The Marquis RIDOLFI, who was dispatched from Tuscany on a special mission to CHARLES ALBERT, had recently a long private conference with the KING at Allessandria, the subject being the interests of the Peninsula. CHARLES ALBERT was favourably dis posed towards the political league, being evidently anxious that the Neapolitan Government should be included therein. LOMBARDY. mission.

Every seat was occupied, and the numbers present could not have been less than four housand. In the ',vocal department, Mdlle. Lind was ,upported by Belletti, Roger, and F. Lublach e . Th e .)i-chestra contained the elite of the professors from her Majesty's Theatre, including Piatti, Anglois, Lavigne, Remusat, Nadaud, and Hermann, under the manage ment of Balfe. The crowd in front of the Music Hall was so great that a strong body of police was required to keep the avenues clear, and it was fond absolutdy ne cessary to have the assistance of the police to escort Mdlle. Lind's carriage to and from the concert. 'l'he moment she appeared there was a cry of " hats off," ac companied by loud cheers, both on her arrival at the hall'and and on her return to the hotel.

(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE BVEENZIE AND PRASE& These bankrupts had carried on business as warehouse' men in Pancras-lane, Cheapside, and today was s r pointed for them to pass their last examination. The solicitor to the fiat opposed, on the ground that the accounts had not been properly set out, for although the partnership did not commence till July, 1847. Y e 6 that the b a l ance s h eet commenced in February, 184 7 " when M'Kenzie entered into a composition with his crn ditors to pay five shillings in the pound, but he had pat d some creditors in excess; it would therefore be seen that that ought not to be entered into the partnership as' count, and it wou ld b e a question for the assignees whether actions should not be brought against the par" ties who had received the money to recover it back. • Mr. Reid, solicitor, said the payments in excess had been made in consequence of some of the parties wh° had agreed to them, therefore Mr. M'Kensie wa g/ obliged to pay in full. As to the objection against the balance-sheet being a joint balance- s h eet, the fact was that although F raser ' s name di d not appear till yet in fact he was a partner from February, and adopted the balance-sheet. His Hormuz' said that settled that part of the questiot After a brief examination of Mqienzie and Mr. Be"' the official assignee being satisfied, the bankrupts Wer e allowed to pass. Do. 101.
