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 the risk of our uttering an egregious platitude. The Com munists of Paris seem latterly to have monopolised to themselves all the cunning, insolence, and cruelty which are the keenest weapons of the conspirator. In comparison with their sche mes o f d omination, 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 COLETTI, of ,the admirers of Lassa auscnim of the followers of AIfiTTERNI CH , of the un d er li ngs of GuizoT, of the stock-jobbing 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 which are now, in some measure, represented by the Club of the Rue des Pyramided. MACHIAVELLI appe ars to have bequeathed a p ortion of his impassable and ruthless policy for the guidance of the Red Dunce. 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 cognis'ed in what we might almost call the eclectic ferocity of the intriguants—that ferocity which had about it much of the . deliberation of CamounA, the passion of the Am i clu P !vie, the expediency of DANTON, and the hideous cupidity of MATTIIEW HOPKINS. And the inflammable character of those ideas which have been the inspiration dur in g nearly six months past of the Fourierists and St. Simo nians,has been rendered still more dangerous throughout by 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 Pisa L auoux and PRUDLION, but in a parti cular manner to those fine-spun and hair-drawn pro jects which capt i vated the philosophy of RASPAIL and cajoled ev en t h e military acuteness of COURTAIS those projects w hi c h were developed in the sugary ' diction and persuasive declamation of Loris BLANC when he spoke b e f ore the susceptible Commission ' sitting in the Palace of the Luxembourg during the administration of the aff a i rs of the incipient Republic by the members of th e P rov i sional Government. When first that Provision a l G overnment 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 Propa 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 f i k 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 has] 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 Moderation 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 peur 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 designs 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 defiancawere 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 is 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'CoNNELL 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 SOVEREIGN 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 *riled Irish wan far eclipsed the /fictive, 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 ga ve h o p es 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, JOHN 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 toek 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, Government. and The t a h r a m t s h m as us b t been s e u x r h r i e b e i d te e d red by wi t t h h e . out delay, or defended, and the principal actors will be locked up in safe custo d y. What chance would there be for the mob, deprived both of weapons and of leaders ? Manifestly none. If, however, they now provoke a contest they w ill rece i ve 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, and that the arms, although perhaps not br oug h t in, will be suffered to be captured and carried off by those a l Hinted to search for and take them.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They are loud in their praises of the financial policy of M. GOUDCHAUX, 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 Tither, which were unnegotiable. Without wishing to run down M. Daclerc, 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 loan is an unequivocal sign that confidence is beginning to revive. The success of the loan will in its turn re-act on confidence itself and 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 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 ca sh." 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 to 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—' He 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 peiCents., 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 when 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, 7lif. 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. 25ic. of which the holders of the old loan will benefit, and there must also be deducted about 2f. .50c., in consequence of the prissanee 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 been 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 55E and in 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. DucLERc 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 1841, shows a frightful falling off. The receipts for the first month of 1846 amounted to 74,676,750 f.; in 1847 to 65,956,675 f.; 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, 1846, having been 12,612,579 f.; June, 1847, 11,186,163 f.; and June, 1846, 5,890,632 f. Great apprehensions were entertained on Monday for the life of General %DEALT, whose wound is going on very unfavourably. The Sleek 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. the Minist er o f th e I nter i or, in answer to. SENARD, p a ß q N u A e ß sti ' on from M. PA SCAL D UPRAT , M. 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—Penis, 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 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 np the shares of that company 12f. 50c.

Italian and Austrian, %—aitelbre and Meuse, EXTENSITE AND MYSTERIOUS RORIIERT AT THE COUNT D'AVEGDoßS.—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, llay-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 thi e f. F rom t h e 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 lend to the apprehension of the guilty party. SUerENSION Or THE HABEAS CORrlas ACT IN I EL A NHt.—e LoyalisAwn Act, as e ourt yesterday, readers have was, observed,in the received the course o d f isp th at e ch a e t c tr i n n oo c n h , ar s g Q e nt of d . o a wn me t s o senge Liverpoo l, rfrom the and thence home-office, esswhich had been ordered t o b o in din the steamerh epurpos e. reafobry POLAND. The Zeitungshalle 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 lowing : "Letters dated Cracow, the 18th inst., inform us that the new sentences pronounced against the persons com promised in the insurrection of 1846 have just been published. Karozineki 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 , Rembouski, Zaczewski, Gzieszecki, Czerwinski, and Kowalski, are moreover sentenced to 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 most." WALLACHIA. The Suabian 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 the,Provisional 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 BIBESCO 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 cannot arrive before the 15th 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 Liberal has the following from Naples of the 16th :—" The Liberal cause has sustained a check in Calabria. The royal troops occupy Cosenza, Ca banzano, 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 20,000 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 Mousse, the Capitanta and Avellino are operating upon the Abruzzi." ROME. The accounts from Rome are still unfavourable to the prospect of tranquillity. The Contemporaatie of the 15th of July shows that two Governments exist in that capital—a regular isrperism ire japan:a-- 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 Cionteneporaneo, "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." MANTUA. A letter from Mantua says that 4,000 Austrians recently entered that city, and that RADETEICY was himself expected there with a reinforcement of 800 or 900 men. The Italia del Popol. adds, that CHARLES ALBERT, 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 ALURRT 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. Milan, of the 20th instant, states tha T t h Verona eGroaznaeite of 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.

Dear Sir,—Having received (per post) a letter, of which the inclosed is a copy, from the master of the ship Agamemnon, of Glasgow, in which he reports having set up a signal staff at Pisco, fur the purpose of showing when boats may or may not laud iu safety, I beg to forward the same fur the information of the com mittee of Lloyd's. (Subscribed) J. CHARLIER, Sec. Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. Pisco, slay 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 safe 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 hero ; 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. " ORDER OF THE DAT. " Soldiers I—Yesterday a fresh encounter of our troops with the enemy was signalized by a fresh victory. His Xxcellency 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 1 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 Mincio 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- CIIIEN 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 private sources, we gather that a now Com mander-in-Chief is about to be appointed.—Allen's Indian Mail. MURDER IN MANCHESTEIL—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 anti COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUART.ER 7'O 7 HREE The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares have been flat, with but a limited business. The accounts respecting the growing potato crops are still conflicting, but calculated to excite anxiety ander circumstances. We have not sooner had an opportunity of noticing certain interesting statistics relative to the tr a d e of' New York, but now sujoin them, as, in the event of the po tato crops proving deficient, there would be a renewal of grain imports: The aggreptcljexportation in the first six - months of 1847, exceeded rby 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 months in each of the past three years.

So far 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. Consols are now quoted at 854 to 8618 for Money, and at 858 to 861 for the Account.

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. English ...... 1ri5h......... Bereigu ...... AICRPTALS. Wheat. I Barley. Oats.

The supply of which on offer is by no means large, at barely the late depression in the quota tions. The plantation accounts are favourable, and the duty is estimated at from 205,0001 to 210,000/.

The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day to hear appeal motions and appeals. DAWES V. DETTS.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, who intimated on Saturday last the impression he entertained with respect to this ease, 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 of title to make a good lease for 21 years, in right of the granter being tenant for life of a property charged with a trust to a lady, Mrs. Dawes, under her marriage settlement. The case had 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 Viee-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 be 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. HOLYOAKE V. THE BRREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. The arguments in the appeal motion in this case against the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Wigrain, 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 JAMES.) GAMES v. PERRY, JUN.—A SERIOUS CASE. • This was an action brought to recover the sum of Id 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. PRICE, the plaintiff's attorney, stated the case. The defendant resides at Wolverhampton, and Willeta lives in Bilston, in Staffordshire. Al t h oug h there wa s an imputation of forgery, he 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 dreg the note, and witnessed the defendant making hie mark. Thomas Davies, an assistant to Mr. Cooper, an auc tioneer at Wolverhampton, was called, and wig present when this note was, made: Charles P e rri made the mark in my presence, and I wrote his newe -1 read it over to him first. It was made payable to Willets, for services rendered. Cross-examined--I am a clerk to Mr. Cooper, bag not altogether. I keep other p eop l e ' s books. willete met me, and said he wanted me to do a little writing, and we went to a public-house at Millfields, near 0 1 ' ston. The note was given for Willeta. obtaining a " 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 myself. I went to him and said that if I went against him he must lose, for I must speak according to N u Con science, and must say that I saw him sign it. I went to, him to give hi m a chance. By giving him a chance, J• mean that when I heard that he had been served with * writ I went to him and told . bietshe bildbetter put in a plea against it, as ,I•was,v,tdff:o4c,`,lteli(nd; i and it WO very likely I should:nOt• I. did ;net say if br gave 61. I would swear,* did not sign. • ' The defendant's Counsel said it was alwilyaa painful and difficult case where each, a.setiii suu rge,,,as dim of forger!, was set up, and, if lin Iv ryl ' l4 ightlit*tteted, he alumlo be able to prove that the note was made by Willeta WO' self, and at quite a different place. The SECONDARY asked how that could effect th e . plaintiff James ? Defendant's Counsel said that might effect him by inference, for one of the remarkable features in the ca 9 0 was that they cou ld not find out who th e 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 great importance, and that was that the action had not bees brought in the County Court, where not only Willets , but the defendant might have been examined, bat Willets had not been called. Sarah Lees was called, and deposed that she resiaei at Milifield, and k ee p s a pu bli c-house. On the 22d 0' March last Willets went to tier house, and his daughter took him a stamp, which he filled up, and said "Attu conquer," and asked her to read it. She said e' Cavil°, not, and Willets sa id h e wou ld read it to h6rand he dj° so. He said it was to make Pee,i2 pay him, as P e r was to give him 104, but would not. Willem wrote the whole of it, and made ; theinark. She (witness) at the' time told him that he didn't ought" to have put Perry'a,-• name to it •'lle said that Perry had promised it to bine: and 'he would be d—d if he would not make bias pay. Davis afterwards went in. Willets told Davis that he would give him 505. to come and swear it was Perry's sign. Davis said he would do so, and Wiliest said that he would not have it tried in the petty cour,tr, for he would be conq uere d t h ere b ecause he was so w.eu known. Willets is a file cutter close to her. On the 9th of March Willets called on her from Perry for bill for 181., for things sold, and said that if I would 0 , 1 him 51. he would s wear t h at he saw me pay Perry 187 Believed Willets had not worked for two years, and did nothing but go about the country defrauding them is this .manner. _ _ In cross-examination she persisted. that Willets read the paper over to her, and that she knew it again. The SECONDARY said 'that this evidence might poe sibly involve Willets and Davis, but could not affect tile plaintiff —it might be that there was a gross fraud and great iniquity, of which plaintiff, however, was wholly ignorant—that somebody was committing gross and do' liberate perjury there could be no doubt. Mr. PRICE continued the examination, and wanes! said that she told Perry, on the 23d of March, OP Willets had forged his name. Mr. Thomas Wilton, defendant's attorney, was ca lled. and said that wh en h e was i nstructed to defend, he went to the magi s t ra t e ' s for a warrant aga i nst Willets, ba t could not get one, as he could not show the bill. .9 believed the d e f ence , k now i ng Wi llets ' character, an d that there were a great many other crude of the SaP ly Sort. Mr. PRICE protested against the remarks. lie th e ,„ addressed the jury, and said it was i ncredible that 01 man, however lost to honesty, would be so lost to common sense, as to deliberately m a k e a d m i ss i on, which xnusty,..l made, be conclusive evid ence on which he might ~ ° transported for life. He c a ll e d on t h e jury to discre dit the whole of Lees evidence, as being utterly improbabi e i The Learned SECONDARY su mme d up, and s aid t h a t it was a most extraordinary fact, that if Lees told cde fendant of the forgery on th e 23d March, defendant ha d done nothing till the trial was coming on. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. The SECONDARY said he should have had no besita" tion in giving a verdict that way. vessel RAILWAY CARRIAGE S FROM FAA/mg.—A •- -s has arrived troin Boulogne having on board 29 railwaycarriages entire, f orm i ng the cargo of the ship, gluign. being British man u f acture d carr i ages returne d to t"'" country from France. . ; $I ,
