Intrigue is by no means peculiar to the politicians of Europe, and yet, obvious as this truth has become, it requires to be repeated at intervals even at th e r i s k of our uttering an egregious platitude. The Com munists of Paris seem latterly to have monopolized to themselves all the cunning, insolence, and cruelty which are the keenest weapons of the conspirator. In comparison with their schemes of domination, there is an absolute insignificance in the plots of the Irish felons, of the Roman retrogrades, of the splintered ruins of the Sonderbund, of the still palpitating but mangled faction of the Afrancesadoes, of the worship pers of COLRTTI, of Ithe admirers of LARLI3RUSC IIINI' of the followers of METTEENICIi , of the underlings of GUIZOT, of the stock- j obbing associates of SALAMANCA, and of the subservient accomplices of CABRAL. The Vehmgericht was scarcely more secret in its delibe rations than the dark and inscrutable councils w hi c h are now, in some measure, represented by the Club of the Rue des Pyramides. Mac? isYELLI app ears to have bequeathed a port ion of his impassabl e and ruthless policy for the guidance of the Red Dena gogues, who, in a four days' frenzy, almost battered all the walls of Paris down about the ears of its inhabitants. The proof of this can be re cognised in what we might almost call the eclectic ferocity of the intriguants —that ferocity which had about it much of the deliberation, of CALusuLA., the passion of the Ami Peuple, the expediency of DANTON, and the hideous cupidity of MATTHEW HOPKINS. And the inflammable character of those ideas which have been the inspiration during nearly six months past of the Fourierists and St. Simo nans,hasbeen ren d ere d still more dangerous throughout b i y the insidious agency of their more conspicuous Oracles. The daring of the plots adventured upon by the Paris anarchists is nevertheless attributable not merely to the enthusiasm of such political fanatics as PIERRE LEROUX and PRUDIION, but in a parti cular manner to tho se fi ne - spun an d h a i r -d rawn pro jects which captivated the philosophy of ItAgpm and cajoled even the military acuteness of the ar U s R u I TAI3, those projects which were developed in h diction and persuasive d ec l amat i on of Loris BLgANcy' when he spoke before th e susceptible Commission l adi n g in the Palace of the Luxembourg during the administration of the affairs of the incipient Republic by the members of the Provisional Government. When first that Pro visional Go vernment rode on ' the whirlwind, and directed the storm of the Revolution of February, the fear of the other nations was developed in a dread of what is known as Pr opa _ gandism. It was dreaded that emissaries of repub licanism would carry the germs of revolt into the capitals of Christendom, and that the overthrow of the Orleans dynasty would lead inevitably, through the instrumentality of these bewhiskered apostles of insurrection, to the downfal of the elder dynasties of Lorraine, of Hapsburgh, of Brandenburgh, and even of the Royal House of Brunswick. Time has proved that these anticipations were partially premature and fallacious, that the anticipations of the people were to a considerable extent correct as to the effect, while they were altogether mistaken as to the means. The constitutions of Europe have been shaken to their bases, and the reigning families have in several instances been in imminent danger of being deprived of their rank and authority ; but the means by which all this has been accomplished is wholly different from what was conjectured. Propagan dism hasl been: enforced' by the irradiation of ideas rather than by the incendiary language employed by a few of the peripatetic agents from the Clubs of Paris. The disaffected classes not only in the re moter regions of Wallachia, but in the neighbouring counties of Ireland, have been inflamed mainly by the example afforded by the anarchists of the French metropolis. And our Govern ment has emulated the successive Governments of France by pressing its heel boldly upon the neck of the Hydra Insubordination. There is a consolation in this resemblance, for hitherto the cause of Aloderation has triumphed within the cir cumference of the Boulevards—and that moreover against a more ferocious antagonist than can ever be discovered in the wilds of Connaught or the pas tures of Tipperary. The promptitude with which Parliament responded to the appeal of her Majesty's Ministers—the man ner in which the extraordinary powers demanded by the Earl of CLARENDON were conceded—powers which would justly be regarded as highly uncon stitutional, and which nothing but the imminent danger in which the country is placed by the machi nations of the disaffected, could justify—has struck terror to the Clubbists, and their mischievous insti gators. Already " Sauve qui petit" has become the principle of action, and an overwhelming defeat has been sustained, almost before the commencement of the contest. The intelligence that the Bill for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act had been carried through all its stages in the House of Commons in a single day, almost without opposition—the certainty that it would be passed through the House of Lords with similar expedition, and with perfect unanimity, and that on Tuesday it would become the law of the land, under which the " suspected " (and their name is legion) may be arrested and detained in safe custody, excited the most pitiable consternation and dismay. Every man who knew that he was implicated in the treason able design 3 of the conspirators believed himself to be among the number marked out for immediate ar rest. Visions of the Bastile forthwith floated across his imagination, and he began to discern the vast difference that exists between the " reality of rebel lion," and the exciting harangues, in which verbal defiance were hurled at the Government, and to which he had formerly listened with so much complacency and satisfaction. In this emergency many bethought themselves of their country friends, and departed for the provinces, where they might be further removed from the unpleasant visits of the keen-scented detectives. It was also formally announced that the clubs would not again assemble in their various rooms and places of meeting. These indications manifest the efficiency of the course pursued by the Government. An immediate crisis has thereby been rendered inevitable. The Fabian policy can no longer be pursued ; the game of procrastination must be abandoned. Two courses only remain open for the leaders of the movement. vie., either an instant outbreak, or an im mediate and unconditional submission. Either alternative i 3 peculiarly distasteful, and must lead to their dethronement from the position which they had assumed, and consign them to well merited punish meat or equally deserved contempt. At first the " physical force " doctrines were put forward as a mode by which the sceptre might be wrested from the hands of him by whom it was so long wielded, and the leadership of the Irish transferred from O'Comasnn to a few ambitious and reckless young men. On the death of the Liberator, the agitation was carried on with greater vigour, and many per sons sent in their adhesions to the Confederation, which it was supposed would strike terror into the British Legislature, and induce a prompt submission to the demands of the malcontents. At that period, however, nothing was said of a total separation between the countries, or a dethronement of our Most Gracious SOTEREIGN from her position as the Monarch of Ireland. The repeal of the union was the only demand. Subsequently, however, the agitation assumed a new shape. One energetic but most mischievous man, emboldened by the impunity that had attended his previous escapades, evinced greater audacity, and spoke of an Irish republic, and of a total severance of the connexion between England and Ireland. His unwilling associates were dragged forward despite themselves. In vain they attempted to check his ardour, but they could not free them selves from his influence. The then organ of the party was closed against his lucubrations, another was speedily started, and the United Irishman far eclipsed the Nation in the lengths to which it proceeded. The people were lashed up to a pitch of madness, and it became apparent that they could no longer be restrained by those who had, for their own vile purposes, inflamed their passions. At this period occurred those unexampled events upon the European continent which, perhaps, for the first time gave hopes to the agitators of a successful revolution. They fancied that there might be some prospect of with standing the British power. The person to whom we have already alluded, Jouls MITCHEL, attempted to stimulate his more sluggish coadjutors. He thought that his own arrest and trial would hasten the moment of conflict, and that he would not be permitted to leave the country as an exile. Vain hope. His col leagues were too happy to get rid of so dangerous an associate, who would suffer no person to control his stubborn disposition or to moderate his movements. His trial and his conviction took place, but no move ment was made for his rescue. When the moment of action had almost arrived the leaders began to count the cost and to. calculate the chances of success. Too late they discovered the futility of their hopes. They still, however, clung to their delusion with a desperate tenacity. They would not retrace their footsteps, acknowledge their errors, and implore the clemency of the Government, with promises for their future good con duct. They feared the anger of their wretched dupes, when the manner in which they had been bamboozled became apparent. The period of the rising was postponed. When the harvest was stored and garnered, then the long promised performances should commence in good earnest. No doubt some sufficient reason would have been put forward for a further delay if the people would receive it. But in the meantime the country was suffering from the consequences of the insurrectionary spirit that was abroad, and that could no longer be re strained by the would-be leaders. Vigorous conduct was necessary in order to save the country, and that has been exhibited by the Government. Th e arms must be surrendered with out delay, or defend e d, and the principal actors w ill be locked up in safe custody. What chance would there be for the mob, deprived both of weapons and of leaders I' Manifestly none. If, however, they now provoke a contest they will receive a signal defeat, and peace will thus be restored, although, perhaps, at the cost of some valuable lives. We believe, however, that even this may be averted, an d that the arms, although perhaps not brought in, w ill be suffered to be captured and carried off by those appointed to search for and take them. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1848. MALTA• Letters from Malta of the 18th announce the ar rival in that island of the reserved battalion of the 44th Regiment, and the departure on board the Java troop-ship, for Halifax, of the 87th. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 20th have been received. A telegraphic dispatch waa received from La Granja, at four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, announcing that the QUEEN had miscarried. It is stated in one of these papers that CABREIZA had captured a whole battalion of Government troops, and had ordered all the officers belonging to the Conven tion of Bergara to be shot. The Espana, on the other hand, states that the Carlists have been every where defeated. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 20.—The Three per Cants. were done at 20 cash, but were lower after the close, being quoted at 19; buyers, i f sellers; Five per Cents., 10 . to f . ; Passive Debt, 3i to 4, and the Foreign 31 ; Bank Shares, 70 ; Discount on Notes, 41 to 1 per cent. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They are loud in their praises of the financial policy of M. GoupouAux, which bids fair to be as success ful in the re-establishment of confidence as the energy of General CAVAIGNAC has been in the re-establish ment of order. The Journal des Debats thus speaks of the new loan : "The most:striking novelty in the financial programme of M. Goudchaux is the news of a loan certain to find subscribers. That is an evident proof of a notable pro gress. The national loan of M. Garnier Pages did not produce a centime, for the name of subscription must not be given to the offer made by some persons of Bons du Triter, which were unnegotiable. Without wishing to run down M. Duclerc, it may be affirmed that if he had made an appeal to credit, no person would have responded. This time the Minister, it is true, turns to account the desire evinced by the subscribers to the loan of 250 millions, negotiated in 1847, not to lose purely and simply the instalments which they had paid. But it appears certain that this condition, even whilst ensuring to the loan a more numerous body of subscribers, was not indis pensable to success. It must, consequently, be admitted that the loa❑ is an unequivocal sign that confidence is beginning to revive. The success of the loan will in its turn re-act on confidence itself end develop it. In the same way as distrust is catching, so confidence is ex ceedingly communicative. There is at present a strong reason why the loan, contracted on conditions relatively satisfactory, tends with a certain power to raise up com mercial credit. As long as the Treasury was seen to be in an extreme embarrassment it was impossible that business could revive, for business cannot improve except by the aid of credit. But as long as the distress of the Treasury was flagrant, the capitalist is justified in 1 dreading the return of assignats, and no person consents to lend capital if there is reason to believe that, at the moment of reimbursement, in three or six months, de preciated paper is to be received in place of hard cash." The Constitutionnel thus comments on the plans proposed by M. GOUDCHAUX : " The Minister of Finance, in presenting his Bill for a loan, certainly must have regretted not having been more firm on the question of the reimbursement of the Treasury Bonds. On the eve of making an appeal t• capitalists it was desirable to show a scrupulous fidelity to the existing engagements of the State. By paying in full the creditors of the Treasury, he would give, to use the expression of M. Lafitte, a pledge to the return of those principles which are the foundation of all credit. There is no doubt that if the upward movement of the funds had continued, the loan would have been con tracted on more advantageous terms, and that private credit would have participated in the improvement of public credit. It is more particularly in matters of credit that the old maxim is applicable—' lie who pays his debts enriches himself.' There is in these few words more of financial science than can be found in a dozen treatises on the subject." The Constitutionnel then expresses its approbation of the operation proposed by the Minister, and con tinues— " The Bill gives to the holders of the old loan of 250 millions the facility of using the certificates of the two first instalments which formed their guarantee fund, and which was annulled, in payment of the first instalment of the new loan; these certificates, representing 7f. 52ic., in Three per Cents., will be taken for the same value in Five per Cents.; but let us not be misunderstood on this point, it is not a restitution that is thus made them; for they had no right to it; it is simply an ad vantage offered in exchange for a service demanded. We, moreover, believe that M. Goudchaux has acted wisely in making the loan in Five per Cents., and for two reasons. The first is, that stock not only suits capitalists for speculation but for investment, and it causes a less considerable increase in the nominal capital of the public debt. The important point, however, is the rate at which the loan is issued. It may be remembered that the Minister, when he presented the Bill, left the price in blank, in order to prevent any stock-jobbing, and whe❑ the discussion came on no price was mentioned until the articles had been adopted; and it was not until after the Bourse had been closed that he named the price, 75f. 25c., the same as.; at fixed by the law of 1847 for the loan in the Three er Cents. This rate of 75f. 25c. does not, however, as the Minister frankly avowed, represent the real figure of the loan. There must be deducted from it the 7f. 254 c. of which the holders of the old loan will benefit, and there must also be deducted about 2f. 50c., in consequence of the josissanes allowed to begin from the 22d of May of that year, which brings the real price down to 65f. 25c. This price was objected to by several members, as being too low ; and there is no doubt, had not the fault been committed with regard to the Treasury Bonds and the savings' banks deposits, as we remarked above, better terms might have bee❑ obtained; but things must now be taken as they are; it was better to make a little sacrifice than fail in the operation, for a check of that kind would have been attended with disastrous consequences for public credit and for business in general. There are, however, some of the creditors of the State who may perhaps have some right to complain; we allude to the holders of Treasury Bonds and the depositors in the savings' banks, who have been respectively reimbursed in Threes at 55f. and i❑ Fives at 80f., while a loan has now been contracted at 66f. 25c. The price sets forth an act of injustice committed towards them. The receipts arising from this loan will be about 170 millions, and the undivided attention of the Government should be directed to availing itself of this resource to get rid of the em barrassments of the present state of things." It is intended to abandon the proposition of M. DucLEac for the imposition of a duty on legacies and successions. The account of the importations for the first six months of 1848, as compared with the corresponding period of 1848 and 1847, shows a frightful falling off. The receipts for the first month of 1846 amounted to 74,676,750 f.; in 1847 to 65,956,67 M.; and in 1848 to only 38,150,854 f. In the month of June only the falling off is equally remarkable, the receipts for June, 184 G, haying been 12,612,579 E; June, 1847, 11,186,163 f.; and June, 1848, 5,890,632 f. Great apprehensions were entertained on Monday for the life of General BEDEAU, whose wound is going on very unfavourably. The ktiecle states that he was somewhat better yesterday, although not out of danger. There arrived yesterday in Paris an envoy from the King of SARDINIA. His mission is to thank the Republic for having withdrawn the army of the Alps from the frontiers of Piedmont. The sequestration on M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN'S paper, the Presse, has been removed, on the under standing that the paper shall not be published until after the National Assembly shall have determined on the Bill for regulating the press. The Committee appointed to examine the Bill met again on Monday. The majority is in favour of a deposit of caution money. M. SENARD, the Minister of the Interior, in answer to a question from M. PASCAL Ihruezr, said that perhaps it would be as well to demand a deposit of caution money from the clubs also. M. BINCEUR has been appointed by the Finance Committee reporter on the Budget. BOURSE-PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 25. THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse was greatly agitated to-day, and the effect of the new loan was anxiously looked for. Contrary to expectations, the result was a heavy fall both in Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. Rentes. The market opened firm at the prices of yes terday, but soon afterwards began to give way, and the downward movement continued to the close of business. The new loan was quoted to-day for the first time. It only made 75, which is 4 per cent. under the sum at which it is issued. The account of the arrange ment between the Lyons Company and the Govern ment sent up the shares of that company 12f. 50c. For the Account the French Three per Cents. have fallen If. 50c.; Five per Cents. have fallen If. 75c. Loan at 75f. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen lf. 50c.; Five per Cents. have fallen If. 75c,; Loan not quoted. Bons du Tresor are at 16 discount. Bank of France Shares have risen 10 francs.

EXTENSIVE AND MYSTERIOUS EMMERT AT TRH COUNT D' AVEGDORS.—Yesterday information was re ceived by the police that a robbery had been committed at the residence of the above nobleman, No. 11, Hert ford-street, May-fair, under circumstances of the greatest mystery. It appears that on Friday afternoon last the Count deposited in a box in his dressing-room a quan tity of valuable jewellery, consisting of diamond orders, crosses, rings, snuff-boxes, &c., valued at upwards of 1,500/. A few days afterwards the Count had occasion to go to the box above-mentioned, when, on opening the lid, he was surprised to find that its valuable contents had been abstracted by some expert thief. From the situation of the room, and the difficulty of access thereto, it is certain that the robbery could not have been effected without the connivance of some person in the house. Sergeant Gray, the officer employed to investigate the circumstances of the robbery, has since received a clue which will no doubt lead to the apprehension of th e guilty party.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Zeitungshalle of the 23d instant announces, that the regulations of the National Assembly were provisionally adopted at Vienna on the 20th. Dr. FRANCIS SCHMIT, the member for Vienna, was elected President for a month. Out of 289 votes he obtained 259. Messrs. STOBACH, of Prague, and MAGNENAU, of Trieste, were appointed Vice-Presi dents. The Archduke JOHN was to open the Diet on the 22d. The election of the President does not in any manner prejudice the strength of the contend ing parties. PO LAND. The Zeitangshalle of the 23d inst. states, from ac counts written from Cracow on the 14th, that J. STEREULA was arrested, and conveyed strongly guarded from Chocolon to Podgorze. The motive of his arrest is unknown. He had been arrested and subsequently set at liberty during the events of 1846, The Breslau Gazette of the 21st inst. has the fol owing "Letters dated Cracow, the 18th inst., inform us that the new sentences i pronounced against the persons com promised in the insurrection of 1846 have just been published. Karozinhki was sentenced to twelve years' hard labour in Siberia, and 1,000 lashes of the knout; Pokaszenski to 500; Karzenkowski to 300; and Akord to 200. The three latter and five others, viz , Rem bouski, Z Czerwinski, and Kowalski, are acz moreover e"'ski' sentenced Gziecke'z to i twelve years' hard labour in the mines of Siberia. Karazinski suffered the corporal punishment with great courage. He will soon have re covered.l ?Karzenkowski,A young man twenty-one years of age, suffered the molt,' WALLACHIA. The Swabian Mercury of the 23d has a letter from the frontiers of Wallachia, dated the 12th of July. It informs us that the measures of the Russian Government had so terrified theiProvisional Government that the members, after a vain attempt to raise the peasantry, fled in all directions. Bucharest was tranquil on the 10th, and it was expected that the inhabitants of the country districts would receive the Russians with open arms. In Wallachia the peasantry look upon them as their liberators, their policy having always been to protect the peasantry against the oppression of the nobility. This explains the present state of things in the provinces of the Danube. Prince BIIIIESCO was informed of the arrival of the Russians by special courier. The Russians have pitched their camp before Jassy, because the cholera rages within the city. One hundred thousand men are to march from Folkshany to Bucharest, but they eannoCarrive before the lath of August, so that any serious resistance is out of the question. ITALY. NAPLES AND SICILY. It was reported in Naples that the insurrection in Calabria has been suppressed, and that the Sicilian forces which had been sent to assist the insurgents had been re-embarked. The Lilert4 has the following from Naples of the 16th :—" The Liberal cause has sustained a check in Calabria. The royal troops occupy Cosenza, Ca banaano, and the coast ; the Liberals are in posses sion of all the mountains and the interior from Tiviolo downwards. Seven hundred Sicilians are ready at Melazzo to land on the Calabrian coast, for Sicily knows that the fall of Calabria would lead to the invasion of the island. An army of 530,000 men is therefore raised to take an active part in the Calabrian war, and a million of ducats decreed for the expenses of the war. In the Cilento the Royal troops have been beaten ; the Cilentini are marching to Calabria and against Basilicata. Lecce is doing the same. On the other side of Molisse, the Capitanta and Avellino are operating upon the Abruzzi?' ROME. The accounts from Rome are still unfavourable to the prospect of tranquillity. The Conienaporanao of the lath of July shows that two Governments exist in that capital—a regular imperion in imparis— the one recognised and applauded by the Chamber and the people, that of MAMIAMI and his Ministry ; the other, " occult, illegal, and obscure,"—in short, the retrograde or ultramontane faction, fomented by the intrigues of the Jesuits. "It is to be hoped," adds the Contemporaneo, " that the Mamiami Minis try will triumph over the intrigues which beset its path, for it is the only Government that can save the country from a perilous crisis." MAN T GA. A letter from Mantua says that 4,000 Austrians recently entered that city, and that RADETZKY was himself expected there with a reinforcement of 800 or 900 men. The Italia dcl Papal* adds, that CHARLES AL➢SRT, on hearing this news, dispatched from Roverbello a considerable corps of artillery to rein force Castelluccio and the posts on the side of the gate Ceresa and Pictola, and that if those movements are promptly executed some important event may be expected. LOMBARDY. CHARLES ALBERT issued an ordinance on the 11th, decreeing the immediate union of Lombardy and the province.; of Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and Rovigo, already voted by the people. Lombardy and the aforesaid provinces will form, with the Sardinian states, one single kingdom. A common constituent assembly will be convoked, by universal suffrage, for the discussion of the basis and the form of the new monarchy, MILAN. The Gazette of Milan, of the 20th instant, states that Verona and Mantua are blockaded on every point. It is impossible that these two cities can be reinforced. Four hundred Austrians who made a sally from Mantua, and advanced as far as Gracie to reconnoitre, were made prisoners. Some slight affairs, the result of which is unknown, came off near Rivoli and Pastrengo. Pictole Vecchio has been burnt by the Austrians. The Milanese Gazette contains the following " Order of the Day," published to the camp on the occasion of the highly honourable achievement at Governolo " ORDER OP THE DAT. " Soldiers !—Yesterday a fresh encounter of our troops with the enemy was signalised by a fresh victory. " His Excellency General Bava, whilst hastening to Borgsoforte in aid of the threatened Modenese, with the Queen's Brigade, the Genoese Regiment of Cavalry, two batteries and the company of the 2d battalion of the Bersaglieri (Lions), having heard of the precipitate re treat of the Austrians, on the mere announcement of his arrival on that side of the Po, anxiously returned with his corps to Governolo—a place of passage across the Lower Mincio, with a bridge of masonry, which was said to be strongly occupied by the enemy. "A sharp skirmish took place there, the result of which was the complete expulsion of the Austrians from Go vernolo, and the capture of two standards, four pieces of artillery, and more than 400 prisoners. " Soldiers ! This victory of your brother warriors redounds to the common glory of the army, and proves that wheresoever and with whatever part of our troops the enemy can be encountered, they find it impossible to resist the valour of the Italians, and that the inde pendence of the country is now infallibly insured by your irresistible arms. " By order of`the King, (Signed) SALASCO, " Chief of the Staff. " Head quarters of Marmirolo, July 10, 1848." From this fortunate success something more than mere military glory will accrue to the Italian cause, as it secures to the army the only passage across the Lower ancio held by the Austrians, and renders it impossible, or, at all events, extremely difficult, to attack the Italians in flank on that line. The enthusiasm of the gallant and patriotic warriors is great, the achievement of Governolo being only viewed as the prelude of new and still more signal victories. THE COMMANDER-IN- CHIOS' IN BENGAL—By re ference to the Bengal Army List we find his Excellency General Lord Gough, G.C.8., assumed command of the Bengal army on the Bth August, 1843 ; consequently his time of command, five years, has nearly expired. From this, and privat e sources, we gather that a new Com mander-in-Chief is about to be appointed.—Allen's Indian Mail MURDER IN MANCHESTER.—A man named W. Adamson (yesterday, after a quarrel) shot a woman, with whom he had been living for some time, named Diana Clarke. She died almost immediately. The man was committed for wilful murder. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares have been fiat, with but a limited business. The accounts respecting the growing potato crops are still conflicting, but calculated to excite anxiety under circumstances. We have not sooner bad an opportunity of noticing certain interesting statistics relative to the trade of New York, but now subjoin them, as, in the event of the po tato crops proving deficient, there would be a renewal of grain imports:— The aggregates exportation in the first six months of 1847, exceeded by several millions of dollars the ex• ports for the same period this year, notwithstanding the large shipments of specie this season. The most inter esting and important result of all is exhibited in the annexed table, as it shows the balance against us on the foreign trade of this port, for the first six mouths in each of the past three years. COMMERCE OF THE PORT OF NEW YORK, IMPORTS AND First six months • • • Value of Imports Value of Exports Excess of Imports over,receipts 21,617,074 22,992,155 22,633,796 This is a most extraordinary statement ; it shows a balance in 1847 and 1848, varying but 358,359 dollars from each other, after the opposite movements in specie, each year, to such an extent. So fur as this point is concerned, the balance is pretty uniform, but we cannot say as much of the foreign trade of the country at large, for the same period. There are so many influences brought to bear upon the imports and exports of the country, that it is nonsense to attempt to attribute the fluctuations from year to year solely to any particular measure of the Government, or to any movement in the markets. Scarcely any business has been transacted in the Eng lish Funds to-day, but the market still remains de pressed, owing to the accounts received from Ireland, coupled with the alarm occasioned by the progress of the potato disease.

Dear Sir,—Having received (per post) a letter, of which the inclosed is a copy, from the master of the ship Agamemnon, of Glabgow, in which he reports having set up a signal staff at Pisce, for the purpose of - , showing when boats may or may not land in safety, I beg to forward the same for the information of the cum — mittee of Lloyd's. (Subscribed) J. CHARLIER, Sec. Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. Pisco, May 8, 1848. Sir,—ln consequence of many accidents happening here by boats being upset by the surf, I have this day erected a signal staff fifty feet high on the beach, on which there will be hoisted one ball when boats may land, and two black balls when boats are not sate to land. I have got permission from the authorities to set up this signal staff; and have left it in charge of two of the most respectable gentlemen here ; this being done, I beg you will make it known, as many lives may be saved by it. (Signed) JOHN M'ANDY, Master of ship Agamemnon. To the Secretary of the Humane Society, London. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY Since Monday, a very limited quantity of English Wheat has been received up to our market coastwise as well as by land carriage. As a good clearance of the stands was effected on that day, the show of samples this morning was small, owing to which, the prevailing damp weather, and the unfavourable reports which continue to reach us respecting the potato crop, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was somewhat active, at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of from Is to 2s per quarter. Only 1,210 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week. Selected parcels were held at 2s per quarter more money; while the middling and . inferior kinds ruled is per quarter higher, with a very steady demand, chiefly for in land consumption. Bonded parcels were the turn higher. Superfine Barley moved off steadily at an improvement in value of is per quarter. All other kinds were quite as dear. There was a better feeling in the Malt trade, but without alter ation in value. Oats were in better request, and really good Corn was slightly on the advance. Beans and Peas sold on former terms. Indian Corn and Meal were dearer to purchase, while Flour was very firm. ARRIVALS. Barley. 40 qrs. Wheat. 2,870 qrs. English .• •. • Irish. •• foreign ...... Oats.

The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day to hear appeal motions and appeals. DAWES V. BETTS.—JUDGMENY. The LORD CHANCELLOR, who intimated on Saturday last the impression he entertained with respect to this case, gave Judgment on it this morning at the sitting of the Court. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wi gram, in respect to the validity o f titl e t o ma k e a go od lease for 31 years, in right of the granter being tenant fob life of a property charged with a trust to a lady, Mrs. Dawes, under her marriage settlement. The case. bad been referred to the Master, who had reported in. favour of the validity of the lease. Exceptions were taken to that report, and on their coming on before the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, he allowed those exceptions, being of opinion that the lease was an in valid one. The Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment this morning, thought the trustee had properly exercised the power he had in right of his. being tenant for life. The plaintiff had not suffered the defendant to labour under any misconception as to what was intended to be granted under the lease. The defendant knew what it was he covenanted for, and the whole course of the plaintiff's conduct, who clearly had legal authority, had been directed to give validity to the lease. He must, therefore, reverse that part of the judgment of the Court below which allowed the exceptions, by ordering the exceptions to be overruled, and confirming the report of the Master; with costs. HOLYOALE 11. THE SIIILICWSBURY AND BIRMINGMAX RAILWAY COMPANY. The arguments in the appeal motion in this case against the judgment of the 'Vice-Chancellor Wigram. directing the trial of an issue. at Gloucester, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the other Equity Courts. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JANES.) `NAMES V. PERRY, 4UN.--.A SERIOUS CASE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of la on a promissory note alleged to have been drawn by de fendant in favour of one Willets. Defended pleaded that he did not make the note. Mr. PRZCR, the plaintiff's attorney, stated the case. The defendant resides at Wolverhampton, and Willa* lives in Bilston, in Staffordshire. Altho ug h th ere was an imputation Of forgery, ho thought that he should be able clearly to show that the mark was that of the de* fendant, by the evidence of a person who actually drew the note, and witnessed the defendant making his mark. Thomas Davies, an assistant to Mr. Cooper, an auc tioneer at Wolverhampton, was called, and said—l was present when this note was made. Charles Perry made the mark in my presence, and I wrote his name. I read it over to him first. It was made payable to Willets, for services rendered. . Cross —I am a clerk to Mr. C oo p er, b ut not r al s trgether. I keep other people's books. Willets met me, and said he wanted me to do a little writing, and we went to a public-house at Millfields, near Bil ston. The note was given for Willets obtaining a " ro leasement" of. Perry from a partnership. I cannot re member the exact words. I did not go to Perry and say that Willets had asked me to be a witness,' but- that I . said I would not perjure m y s elf. I went to ..him and said that if I went agtuktel him he must lose, for I must speak according to my con science, and must say that I saw him sign it. I went' So,. him to give him a chance. By g i v i ng hi m a chance, A mean that when I heard that he had been served with • writ I went to him and told him he had better put in • plea against it, as I was going to Ireland, and it was very likely I should not be here. I did not say if be gave fd. I would swear he did not sign. The defendant's Counsel said it was always a painful end difficult case where such a serious charge as one of forger): was set up, and, if he was rightly instructed, he should be able to prove that the note was made by Willets self, and at quite a different place. The SECONDARY asked how that could effect the plaintiff James ? Defendant's Counsel said that lit might effect him bf inference, for one of the remarkable features in the case was that they could not find out - who the plaintiff was ; for although a summons had been taken out before * —. judge the only answer to the question was that they were out of time. There was another point of gres; importance, and that was that the action had not been brought in the County Court, where not only Willett. but the defendant might have been examined, but Willets had not been called. Sarah Lees was called, and deposed that she res ided at Millfield, and keeps a public-house. On the 22d of March last Willets went to her house, and his daughte r , took him a stamp, which he filled up, a n d sa id " that 'l , conquer," and askPd her to read it. She said she could not, and Willets said he would read it to her, and he did so. Ile said it was to make Perry pay him, as Peril was to give him 10L, but would not. Willets wrote Old whole of it, and made the mark. She (witness) at the time told him that he " didn't ought" to have put Perry name to it. He said that Perry had promised it, to biglh and he would be d—d if he would not make 1 10 . pay. Davis afterwards went in. Willets told Deis that he would give him 50s. to come and swear it wa s Perry's sign. Davis said he would do so, and Willets said that he would not have it tried in the petty court+ for he would be conquered there because he was so well known. Willets is a file Cutter close to her. On th e 6th of March Willets call e d on h er from Perry for bill for 181., for things sold, and said that if I would gi v r_ him 5L he would swear that he saw me pay Perry 18 7 Believed Willets had not wor k e d for two years, wa d d 3. nothing but go about the country defrauding ORM i ll this 'manner: In cross•examination she persisted that Wirlet4 ; re d the paper over to her, and that she knew it again., The SECONDARY s a id th a t thi s ev id ence might Pt, aibly invol ve Will ets an d D av i s, b ut could not affect plaintiff —it might be that there was a gross fratad a nd great iniquity, of which plaintiff, however, was w.b° ll J ignorant—that somebody was committi ng gross a nti A , liberate perjury there could be no doubt. Mr. PRICE continued the examination, and wittL i s said that she told Perry, on the 23d of M ar ch, 1 . 4- Willets had forged his name. Mr. Thomas Wilton, defendant's attorney, was c and said that when he was instructed to defend, he 10 0 " ; to the magistrate's for a warrant against Willets,' b ile could not get one, as he could not show the bill. ~4 believed the defence, knowing Willets' character, $7 O that there were a great many other cases of the ts l sort. theme Mr. PRICE protested against the remarks.
