The Committee of the House of Lords onurhWceadse nesday decided that the p reamble of the Chester a nd Holyhead Railway Com p any (Power to r Steam-boats) Bill was proved, the several clauses were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported. Some time since when the present Bill was brought under the notice of the House of Commons, i n con. sequence of the variation from the usual rule w hi c h prohibited railway companies from becoming steam boat proprietors, we pointed out the reasons why an exception should be made in favour of the Chester and Holyhead Company. In truth, the principal terminus of their line is on the other side of St. George's Channel, and the great object of their undertaking is to connect the capitals of England and Ireland together, ad that the most speedy communication may be established between them. This would at all times be a matter of national importance, with which no trifling difficulty should interfere. It is more espe cially so at the present moment, when the apostles of sedition have succeeded in exciting so much disaffec tion in Ireland, and when the exertions of the loyal and peaceable inhabitants of both countries should be directed to cement more closely the bonds by which they are united, so as to render them really indis soluble. Any disruption of these ties would be deeply injurious to this country, but it would be incompa rably more so to the sister kingdom. There, indeed, the most fearful . ' calamities would inevitably result from the separation, and even if England, for getful of the ingratitude with which her former disinterested and gigantic exertions were requited, we re again disposed to attempt the relief of the misery and destitution that would .reign: supreme throughout the entire land, her powers would be so greatly curtailed that she could not hope for equal success to attend her benevolent efforts. But how is the union to be maintained when so many misguided m en, erroneously supposing that they would be benefited by a change, lend their voices to swell the clamour which a few interested dema gogues, aided and assisted by a still more limited number of half-mad enthusiasts,{ have set up, and which has thus arisen to such a pitch as " to fright the isle from its propriety ?" Simply by elevating the social condition of the great body of the people; by increasing their comforts ; improving the agricul ture, ancl developing 4.the resources of their =gni- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY .EV.ENING, JE(JLV 14, 1818. ficentex untry. Making them really part and parcel of • the etal ire, assimilating them 50 far as practicable to the ro glish peasantry, and letting them enjoy equal Tight and privileges, civil and religious, with those belong to our own people. e first step towards the attainment of this great res ul tis to shorten the time within which communi cat ions can be effected, and travellers may pass from one country to the other--making them, in fact, integral por lions of the same kingdom. By the construction of I aways, and the adoption of steam navigation, time- and space have been practically annihilated, and the journey from London to Dublin, or vice versa, may now be effected in a shorter time, and -with less labour, danger, and expense, than a trannit from one provincial town to another, could have been performed a little more than half a century ago.. Ireland is now, to all intents and purposes, as close to the English metropolis as some of our more distant counties, such as Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland, &c. &c., and those who introduce still further improvements in this respect may be regarded a 3 public benefactors. This is the object of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. Their line will, when completed, form the highway between the islands, and eventually a portion of the regular route between all parts of Europe and America. Why should any general rules, whatever might be their abstract propriety, be permitted to impede so beneficial a design ? If those rules were so irrevocable that they could not be suspended or varied when occasion required they would become the masters and not the creatures of the Legislature:; in place of being useful and valuable servants, they would be most rigid and inexorable superiors. Well might the President of the Board of Trade exclaim, that " if ever the . rule should be dispensed with, it was in the present instance," and well might the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth urge in the House the propriety of sanctioning the application that had been made, with the merits of which he, in his capacity as Chairman of the Committee before whom it was investigated, had peculiar opportunities of making himself thoroughly acquainted. To these appeals the Legislature has responded nobly; and we can now congratulate the country in general that Parliament has sanctioned the great undertaking in its integrity, without any alteration that could diminish its utility. We have ourselves: from,: the earliest period been amongst the warmest advocates for its adoption, and we have reason to rejoice that the arguments we have from time to time put forward have thus at length received the imprimatur of both Houses of Parliament. An article in the Quarterly Review, just published, having immediate reference to the Italian peninsula, is so delightfully argumentative, that, in spite of the extravagance of its tendency, we must perforce give it some small share of our attention. According to the opinion of the writer—Lombardy is as legiti mately a portion of the Austrian empire as Alsace, Franche-Comte, Lorraine, and Brittany are integral portions of the French territory. According to his idea—the character of Pio Noll° is only remarkable for its " imbecile vanity." According to him—the lazzaroni and the soldiers of Naples were right in massacreing the population in defence of the King of the Two SICILIES. According to him—RADETZKY acted in the first instance with leniency towards the insurgent Lombards. According to him—the institution of National Guards is inconsistent with the system of representative govern ment. According to him a rigid censor ship is preferable to a complete liberty of the press. According to him—the Grand Duke LEoroLD has been frightened into concessions to the democrats of Tuscany. 0 wonderful reviewer ! The thesis which he endeavours to expound is simply that Black is White and White Black:; and, from the singu larly complacent tone in which the whole is argued, he is evidently under the agreeable delusion that he carries his point triumphantly. From what we have already enumerated, we fancy that it must be appa rent to every one that we are not very much mistaken in calling the article delightfully argumentative. From the first line to the last, however, we can recognise the blunder in which the whole of these ridiculous positions of the Quarterly Review have originated. Instead of beholding in the recent out burst of the Italian multitude the spontaneous move ment of an entire people to reclaim a nationality which has been long abused by divisions and by aggressors ; the reviewer only sees the rancourous brawling of a disaffected race, stimulated to rebellion by the mezzoceto, goaded to frensy by the voices of their demagogues, and tempted to civic insurrection, to intestine war, and to universal anarchy by the in sidious and inflamatory propagandism of France. Why, the Italian movement had commenced long be fore the Orleans dynasty was threatened with destruc tion, before the dinner on the Champs Elysees was dreamt of, before the . Parisians had begun to think seriously of expatriating the son of Egalite, or of broaching the hogsheads of claret in the cellars of the Tuileries. The Revolution of February only gave a fresh impetus to what was already in a fair way for its accomplishment. And when, in addition to the fore going misstatement, the reviewer maintains that the French Charter of 1830 is the most dangerous model upon which the new governments of Italy could be based—because (so he argues) the bouleversement of February proved that Charter to be radically wrong in itself—he caps the absurdity of his former blunder by one never surpassed by Sir BOYLE ROCHE or the Baron MIINCHAUSEN. Every blockhead in Europe knows perfectly well that the catastrophe which destroyed the throne on the boulevards was caused not by the continuance of the Charter of 1830, but by the non-continuance of that Charter, the viola tion of its most important provisions, by the diminution of the power of the people and the concentration of an undue amount of authority in the hands of the Sovereign. Had LOUIS PHILIPPE, indeed, but listened to the warning voice of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, instead of banishing him honourably to Algeria because he dared to recom mend a more lenient and popular policy—the Orleans charlatan might still be in the palace of the Tuileries, strong in the affections of his people. But GOD had willed it otherwise. The Charter was vio lated in a dozen flagrant particulars—the people of France were sick of the farce of royalty—they yearned for the economy, the security, and the justice of a more liberal and democratic Government—and so was the Revolution evoked and the Republic founded. It must be sufficiently manifest therefore that there is not necessarily danger to Italy in the adoption of a charter similar to that of the last French Monarchy, as the Quarterly Review would lead the ignorant to imagine. On the contrary, there is a peculiar security to the Italians in the acceptation of such con stitutions- in every instance at least where the cha racter of the monarch is a direct contrast to the cha racter of Louis PHILIPPE—that character notorious for its duplicity. Besides, the tremendous downfal of Louis PHILIPPE must act as a solemn warning to the Italian Princes, telling them always in a tone of thunder that the stipulations of their charter must be fulfilled, or that their crowns must be forfeited. There is one other fallacy, moreover, in the arguments of the Quarterly Review we must at once deny and controvert. The writer insists that the municipal jealousies which have distracted the Roman peninsula so frequently and deplorably have only been quelled by the interference of foreigners, and that the interposition of those foreigners has invariably been regarded by the Italians themselves as a great blessing, or rather as a lesser curse than that arising from the dissensions of one principality with another. Never was any egotistical assertion so plainly denied by the records of history. History tells us, on the contrary, that foreign aggression has been the great cause, if not the only one, of the prolonged calamities of Italy. What, indeed, is the fact ? Why, that foreign ag gression did not originate in the intestine divisions of Italy, but that,tnuis XII. was first lured into Lom bardy by the :Regent LUDOVICO SFOlMA—from an insidious wish on the part of the latter to aggrandise his own dominions during the confusion caused ;by the incursion through Savoy and Piedmont.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the Bth have been received. On the 7th instant the Society of Veteran Militia men dined together to celebrate the anniversary of the action of the 7th July, 1822. General NARYAEZ and Count MIRASOL were both present, and sub scribed largely to the funds of the society. The Heraldo, with that unblushing disregard of truth which characterises CHRISTINA, NARYAEZ, and their tool, SOTOMAYOR, who speaks but as he is prompted, denies that ELI° is in Spain. His procla mation, which we published yesterday, is a sufficient reply to this attempt of NARYAEZ to deceive the Madrilenos. Those most veracious organs of NAR YAEZ and CHRISTINA, the Heraldo and the Espano, only two days previously denied that CABRERA was in Spain, and declared that he ,was confined with the gout at Toulon. Perhaps the following account of CABRERA'S first battle, extracted from the Journal du Peuple of Bayonne, may enlighten them as to the whereabout of that formidable chieftain : " Cabrera, four days after his entry into Catalonia, fought an action which has given him fresh celebrity in the eyes of his partisans, by the display of military talent which he gave, and by the loss he occasioned to his opponents. On the 28th Juno he was at Samulus, about five leagues from Barcelona, when he received intelligence that General La Rocha was advancing to attack him with about 3,000 men, while the whole force he (Cabrera) could oppose to him was 900 infantry and 25 cavalry. Instead of fly ing,lCabrera immediately lett the village, took up a position with his troops, and awaited until the first body of the Queen's troops ad vanced within pistol shot. He then advanced his men to fire, when the full discharge killed a great num ber of the enemy, without his losing a single man, in consequence of the excellent position in which he had placed them. The firing lasted for upwards of two hours, and then, in order to take ad vantage of the ground, he ordered his men to retire, in order to draw his assailants into a small valley, which was skirted with plantations, which afforded him cover for his followers, and from which he kept up:a con stant discharge of musketry until a late hour at night with rapidly increasing loss to the Queen's forces. He then made a movement which led General La Rocha to believe that he had retired towards the mountains of Monscue, whilst, in reality, his troops went quietly to repose themselves at Caldas de Monburg. " Forcadell, with the forces which he had assembled, attacked on the same day some other bodies of the Queen's troops, and after a sharp skirmish he remained master of the position which the latter had occupied, and with about 400 of their men as prisoners. " In Catalonia the Carlist party is making immense progress, and in a little time the Queen's troops will not dare to show themselves in the open field, in spite of their numerical force, unless, indeed, they receive very considerable reinforcements." The following details of the present state and location of the Carlist army in Spain show that General NARVAEZ will have soon something else to do than to attend public dinners. It is no longer a Carlist insurrection ; it is a civil war. _ The Opinion Publique, after referring to the death of General ALZAA, who was treacherously drawn into a snare by URBISTONDO, and shot in violation of a pledge, proceeds to state the forces of the Carlists on the faith of its Bayonne correspondent. Navarre is, according to this paper, up to a man. ITURBE iS at Viana with 16,000 men ; ZARIATEGUY, brother of the General, is in the Carraseel with 300 ; Colonel ZABALETA is in the same country near Pampeluna, with a similar number. These two chiefs are wait ing for the QUEEN'S General VILLALONGA, who has sailed from Pampeluna, in the direction of Sangueza. Generals ZUDIRI and SoTo occupy the Aldules and Burguete, to protect the entry of arms, ammunition, and emigrants. General RAPALDA, at the head of 1,500 men, is in the Barranca (Borunda), escorting General Emo, who is actively organizing the insur gent army. They have already formed custom-lines, and blockaded fortified points. Most of the Carlist officers who had profited by the amnesty have joined their colours. The secretary of ELI°, M. ABINANO, was arrested at Pampeluna; but the brother of the General made his escape, joined by all the young men of the town. At ➢lanzanares, New Cas tilla, a guerilla body has already appeared. Upper and Lower Arragon have pronounced. That the Orleanist faction, which at present ty rannizes over Spain, can by its own unaided strength conquer such a formidable array of force as the Carlists will soon bring into the field, seems impos sible. The success of the Christinos in the former war was owing entirely to the Progresistas, who will now stand neutral, or if they aid either party, will aid the Montemolinists, inasmuch as the Count of MONTEMOLIN, who is a man of honour and a true Spaniard, having promised a free constitution, while the QUEEN has been forced by the Orleanist party, who kept her a prisoner, to violate the Constitution and to permit her Ministers to rule despotically ; the cause of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has now become the cause of constitutional liberty. SALAMANCA is at Bayonne. The average price of wheat throughout Spain for the last month was 41 reals per fanega, equal to 43s per quarter. The highest price was at Gerona, where the monthly average was twenty-four reals per fanega. Rice averaged 31 reals for the arroba of 25 pounds weight for the whole country ; the highest monthly average being 48 reels at Leon, and the lowest 23 reals at Valencia.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. It was rumoured that the Government had received information that the defeated insurgents intended to make another attempt to establish the regime of plun der on the anniversary of taking of the Bastille, this day. Several anonymous letters have been sent to M. DUPONT DE L'EunE, revealing the projects of the conspirators. According to these letters, the inten tion is to set fire at once to the house occupied by General CAVAIGNAC, and to the residences of the Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Garde Mobile, and thus to create confusion and alarm in the richest quarters of Paris. The Constitutionnel thus alludes to the designs a the disaffected : "The firm and resolute tone assumed by M. SLard, in the name of the Government, in presenting the Bills relative to the clubs and the press, has produced a re turn of confidence, and caused a rise in quotations at the Bourse. There are at this moment in presence two conflicting influences, which act by turns on the public mind, and animate and weaken the hopes of the public. Whilst the Assembly and the Government seek to secure order and restore labour, by the re es tablishment of confidence, and the restoration of activity to trade, agitators are busily engaged, either by vile attempts, or by crimes, to keep up a perpetual state of anxiety in Paris, in order to increase the misery of the working classes, and give a fresh impetus to disorder. It is this party of agitators that we designate the famine and misery party. They base their odious calculations on the duration and excess of public misfortune. Re newed prosperity would condemn them to powerlessness. " There is, therefore, no design too monstrous to be taken hold of by these sanguinary agitators. At one time they organize assassination on a large scale. Not content with firing at the corner of every street on the armed force who may be moving about singly, they pro pose, it is said, to visit the residences of the representa tives and murder them in their houses. At another time the question of incendiarism and infernal machines is in contemplation. Quarries, sewers, and mines, dug for the purpose, are to be filled with powder, so that Paris, surprised and alarmed by numerous explosions in dif ferent parts at the same time, may more easily fall into the power of those factious robbers. "At another time a still more execrable crime is agitated by them. A razzia has been in contemplation on all the boarding schools and convents, from which all the inmates are to be taken and retained as hostages until the release of all the prisoners in confinement has been ordered, with any other finanCiaror . political capi tulation which may be inipdsed'hy the aCtop of this in fernal scheme. " To den o u n c e th ese frightful scheni"es is to say that the authorities are warned of them' ; that the schools are the object of a particular and special surveillance, and that an attempt at any of those monstrous measures will only , cause redoubled vigilance. " The more the conspiracy was abominable, the more disgust and horror was inspired in the minds of those whom it is wished to gain over as participators in it, and the more the number of agitators become reduced. A less violent plan was, therefore, talked ofto keep the capital in a continued state of uneasiness and perpetuate the existing misery. It was to form a column of from thirty thousand to forty thousand persons if possible, and to march to the National Assembly, and then de mand food, or to be shot—that was to be the watchword. " The answer has been already given —it consists in the assistance which the state distributes to the old Workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux through the medium ; in the funds voted every day to g i ve a fresh the mayorsimpetus to labour ; in the incessant exertions of the Assembly and of the Government to restore credit, and, as MAtter Of Cckligie, commerce, " The answer to be given to these 3q o poo petitioners may well be You, yourselves, by lea yourselves as you have done to the manoeuvres of the enemies of society and of the Republic, destroy the public for tune on which you wish to live; you destroy the sources of labour, the very object of your desires; you make yourselves the accomplices of the Famine and Misery Party,' who build their hopes on the excesses of your sufferings. " The efforts of good citizens, the firmness of the As sembly and of the Government—the inflexible resolution which they will show in the maintenance of order, will repress and discourage all those detestable ideas. Con fidence will return in spite of the efforts of those who wish to destroy it. The discovery of the desperate schemes of bad citizens will still more contribute to for- tify the hope of honest ones. Such a state of things imposes more than ever on the Executive Power the necessity of energy, and on the police devotedness and capacity." _ The Reforme denies altogether the existence of any conspiracy against the cause of order, and the ltiles sager says— " The alarmists continue to instil apprehensions for the 14th of July, and some of the vanquished, in a spirit of impudent defiance, which is really an attack upon order, go about repeating that all is not finished, that the beginning only has been seen, &c. We cannot declare too strongly that no new effort of bad passion is to bo made at this moment. We will add, that even if it were not physically impossible for sedition again to raise its head, the force assembled in Paris, and the measures taken for the maintenance of order, would make of a combat, if it should be attempted, only an occasion for au exemplary and final chastisement." It is satisfactory, however, to know that General Cx- VAIGNAC has adopted every measure of precaution against surprise, and that even should an outbreak be attempted, the insurgents have not the least chance of succeeding in their criminal designs. General CIIANGARNIER, Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards, has had conferences with the dif ferent colonels, to whom he has communicated his plans of defence. Several houses in the neighbourhood of the Made leine have been searched, and 300 muskets and large quantities of ammunition have been seized. The horrible system of private assassinations still continues. The Patrie says— "On Tuesday a Garde Mobile was stabbed in the breast on the Place de l'llotel de Ville. The assassin, who was immediately arrested, said that, as the insur rection was soon to recommence, and as he could not take part in it, he 'wished to pay his debt beforehand. The wretch was immediately taken to the Prefecture of Police." General jORRY and MM. TOWIANSKI and FERIA.. NAND GUT; the two latter Polish emigrants, have been arrested, as have several Russians, accused of being implicated in the late insurrection. TOWIAN SKI is one of the apostles of Pansclavism. The trials of the insurgents commence on Thurs day before four Military Commissions, appointed by General CAVAIGNAC. The attempt to enforce the decree of the Assembly reimposing the octroi duties in Paris hasLoccasioned some serious collisions at the barriers. The Provisional Commission appointed to supply the place of the late Municipal Council of Paris, and the Council General of the Department of the Seine, assembled at the Hotel de Ville for the first time on Tuesday afternoon last, at eight o'clock. M. ARMAND MARRAS; the Mayor of Paris, gave a melancholy account of the financial position of that city. Its re venue has declined 50 per cent. since the revolution. The treasury of the city was possessed on the 24th of February of 17,500,000 f. (700,0001.), after having paid 9,000,000 f. (360,000 1 .) for bread distributed to the indigent during the year 1847. Of these 17,500,000 f. the city possesses at present but 4,000,000 f. (160,0001.) to pay all its expenses until the 20th of August. The Mayor of Paris suggested to the Municipal Council the necessity for immedi ately reimposing the entrance-duty on butchers' meat, which was removed by the Provisional Go• vernment, and which deprived the :city of a revenue of 6,000,000 f. (240,0001.) The Mayor proposed, moreover, to establish two great markets in Paris for the sale of cattle unsold at the markets of Sceaux and Poissy. Those markets would constitute a competition with the licensed butchers, and thus prevent a rise in the price of butchers' meat. He likewise proposed to negotiate a loan of 25,000,000 francs (1,000,0001.), for which permission was granted by the late Chamber of Deputies. The Municipal Commission assented to all M. MARRAST'S propositions. It subsequently appointed M. FRAN-. COIS ARAGo, President; MM. TUIERRY and Du- VERGIER, Vice-Presidents ; and MM. LANQUETIN and HORACE SAY, Secretaries. A Committee was also appointed, composed of MM. DELESTRE, OUTIN, MORTIMER, TERNAUX, FRAUSSARD, GALIS, DUPE RIER, and GUINARD to devise the best mode of im proving the financial condition of the city of Paris. A telegraphic dispatch has been received, an nouncing the recognition of the French Republic by the POPE. We find the following in the Bien Public, on the subject of M. DE LAMARTJNE'S speech on the affairs of Italy : " We do not publish the speech delivered in the Com mittee on foreign affairs. That speech touches on deli cate questions, on which it would be dangerous to throw light and publicity. Besides this, we know that M. de Lamartine did not speak for applause. He has proved, in a sufficiently striking manner, his disdain for popu larity in sacrificing so generally his own for the safety of the Republic. He only wishes to serve his country, and he has no occasion for the glories of the tribune and the press to encourage his patriotism." General OUDINOT strongly urges immediate inter vention in the affairs of Italy. The following article on the affairs of Ireland ap pears in the brnivers, the organ of the Jesuits, which, during the lifetime of O'CONNELL, supported the Repeal Association : °' The Government seems resolved upon dealing se verely with the anarchical party. After the departure of Mr. Mitchel, Young Ireland gained an organ in the Tribune. The Felon replaced the United Irishman, and the _Nation continued its warlike propagandism, preach ing that Ireland could only be freed by civil war. The proprietors or editors of these journals are arrested, and are about to be prosecuted. Severe measures are to be taken against the clubs, several leading members of which are to be put on their trial. These repressive measures are necessary for the security of the country. The resolution of the Repeal Aasociation, repelling all connexion with men whose ambition shrunk not before the effusion of blood or the ruin of their country, was very well timed. The . energy of power can a l o ne reserve Ireland from the evil days that evil passions were pre paring for her." There was yesterday a meeting of ouvriers in the Faubourg du Roule, and near the Barri6re des Mon ceaux, close to the late Ateliers Nationaux. In some instances they formed processions with flags, &c. The Committee of Labour has approved of M. LATRADI'S proposition to give the preference to asso ciations of workmen in the great undertakings of the State. Such associations are not to be required to furnish any caution money, but one-tenth of the price of the adjudication is to be kept back until the com pletion of the works. If, after a delay of twenty days, no association of workmen presents itself to tender for any work, the adjudication will be pro• ceeded to in the usual way in ten days after. A promotion has taken place in the French army. The following nominations are given : Generals of Division—Generals of Brigade Charron, Ifecquet, Guillabert. Generals of Brigade Colonels Cony, Courtigis, Creny. Colonels of the Staff—MU. Foltz, Sercey, Chobord, Lheureux, Martimprey, Guyon, Mangou-Delalande. Lieut.• Colonels of the Staff— MM. Peytiers, Bra quehaye, Lafonge, muvray, Courtois-d'llurbal, Tanlay. Chefs d'Escadron of the Staff—MM. Allard, De vienne, Clerget. Tribert, Roches Loverdo, Lebrun, Saget, Lebris, Senneville. Admiral BRUAT has just been nominated Mari time Prefect at Toulon, and is to set out at once for his post. Colonel PELISSIER bas been nominated Consul for France at Malta. The National Assembly met yesterday at two o'clock. - The President stated that the funeral of General Du vivier had taken place that morning, and that the grand deputation of the Assembly had attended, as well as a number of other Members. The mortal remains of the deceased general had been deposited in the vaults of the Invalides, and M. Marie, the President, had spoken words of touching eloquence on the patriotism and devo tedness of he who was gone and whom all lamented. " It is unnecessary to say," added M. Lacrosse, " that this feeling of regret was unanimous in the mind of every one present."—(Hear, hear.) A number of applications were read from Members of the Assembly for a few days' leave of absence, on the ground of ill-health. Amongst the ge n tlemen Obliged to thus take a short repose was M. Bethmont, Minister of Justice. So few Members were present at this time, that a cry arose for the appel nominal, but several arriving at the moment from the Salle des Conferences the matter was not insisted on. The order of the day was the discussion on the Bill to . exempt for a certain number of years such houses the construction of which shall be commenced before Jan. 1, 184g.c. Art. 1. Declares that all buildings which, at the pa. riod just mentioned, have at least reached the level of tho ground, shall be exempted for ten years from taxation. After some discussion, the date of July 1, 1850, was fixed on as the period before which the buildings should be commenced. (Left sitting.) BOURSE.—Parris, JULY 13. THREE O'CLOCK —The business done at the Bourse since the Revolution of July is so limited, that any small transactions have a powerful effect either in raising or depressing the funds. To-day the rumours of conspiracies and intended insurrec tions afloat alarmed the timid, and the funds have gone down ; to-morrow it will be found that the rumours were incorrect, and they will probably go up again. The same thilig has happened twice already this week. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen if. 50c.; Five per Cents, have also fallen If. 50c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have gone down If.; and the Five per Cents. If. 50c.; Bons du Tresor are at 16 discount; Bank of France Shares have fallen 25f.; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Bel gian Five per Cents. have risen per cent.; Spanish Ac tive not quoted; Roman have risen If.; Rothschild's Receipts, which were not quoted yesterday, are at 731. Exchange on London (30 days), 251. 50c.; ditto (90 days), 251. 30c. Railway Shares for cash:—Orleans have fallen 20f.; Havres, 5f.; Northerns, 5f.; Rouens are the same as yesterday. The others have also fallen but only to a trifling amount. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 13. Boulogne and Amiens, 74—Dutch Rhenish, 4—Namur and Liege, 3—Northern of France, s%—Paris and Lyons, 4%—Sambre and Meuse, 3%. portunity of greeting you, the honoured representatives of the people, I will state some facts in reference to my journey which will greatly tend to quiet you respecting Our reception and the audience which we had of his Ma jesty and the Archdukes. M. Lgroriele has already given you information—it, therefore, only remains for me to state some particulars respecting my meeting with the Archduke John. After having parted from him at Inspruck I received the first intelligence of the odious manifesto in Linz, whereupon I hastened after the Arch duke John, in order to obtain from him, as the mediator appointed by his Majesty, the requisite measures for averting the consequences of this manifesto, which would compromise our whole nation. His Imperial Highness immediately granted this, and likewise dispatched a courier to I'esth, in order to prevent the Hungarian Mi nistry from taking any further proceedings against us, and of preventing the decision of the Croatian• Sclavonic question. " With regard to the nomination of the illustrious me li diator between us and the Hungarians, I believe, gentle men, that since fate has decreed we roust have a mediator, it would be impossible to find a more suitable one than the Archduke John. I doubt not, gentlemen, that 3ou are of the same opinion, consequently, I consider that we ought not to lose any time, and, since his Majesty desires reconciliation with the Hungarians, that we should forthwith communicate with his Imperial High ness the Archduke John, and accurately defining the justice and the urgent necessity of all the steps which we have taken, request him immediately to commence his task, in order that we may the sooner understand our position. "Every moment is precious, but at the same time I must state that since we have recognised the wants of the German nation, the mediation of the Archduke John must of necessity be extended to these also. " With regard to the mode of making the representa tion, and other proposals connected with it, I consider it most advisable to refer the same to the great committee, with a notification that they are to commence the same without delay. It now remains for you, gentlemen, to state whether you agreo with these my proposals." After a lengthened discussion it was resolved to draw up a preliminary statement to the Archduke John, in which especially the rescinding of the manifesto, the legality of the Diet, the granting the requirements of the Croatians and the Servians, the non-persecution of the Servians and other Sclavonians residing in Hungary, the dependence of the military upon the Central Mi nistry in Vienna, and the abeyance of every obtacle to the union of the Dalmatians with the Croats should be specified. Further, the committee was charged with drawing up the sketch of the pacification, in reference to the position of the Servian waywodes as opposed to the kingdom. It was also resolved to delegate to the Bann, in regard to the urgent requirements of the times, un limited power in the affairs of the Government and the settlement of the question of pacification; and, lastly, the Diet shall not be dissolved till the sketch of the pa cification of the committee shall have been discussed, and the redress of the grievances for the boundary and the rest of the nation shall have been determined upon. Prussian State Gazette, July 11. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JULY 9.—His Imperial Highness the Archduke JOHN and the seven deputies from the Frankfort Parliament left Vienna last night for Frankfort. He was attended to the railway station amid the hurrahs of the vast multitude by a division of the National Guard, and the Academic Legion, with their drums beating, as well as by several mem• bers of the Provisional Committee of Security. Among the Frankfort deputies who spoke on several public occasions, the speeches of M. REvAux, of Cologne, and M. HECKSCIIER, of Hamburgh, were considered the most eloquent. The extremely graceful and, at the same time, powerful speeches of the latter gen tlemen especially produced a favourable impression. The Provisional Minister of the Interior, Baron VON PILLERSDORF, having resigned his post into the hands of the Archduke JOHN, in consequence of the demonstration for the Provisional Committee yester day, Baron VON DonnEnorr, Minister of the Interior ad interim, was charged with the formation of a new Ministry. Numerous reports are of course in circulation respecting the constitution of the new Ministry, which appear, however, to be very problematical. As future Minister, of War, Field- Marshal Count VON AUERSPERG, Commandant of Vienna and Lower Austria, is designated. The Ministry of Finance is assigned to the merchant MEYER, chief of the house of LLANMETZ and MEYER, and that of Trade to M. VON BRUCK, director of the Austrian Lloyd in Trieste. The latter will be an admirable appointment. Since yesterday the Resident of the Hungarian Ministry, Count BATTHYANY, has been here. He had a long con ference with the ARCHDUKE yesterday. Accord ing to the present state of affairs it may be appre. hended that the settlement of the affairs of Croatia in an amicable manner may be frustrated by the ob stinacy of the Hungarians. Letters from Trieste of the last date inform us that the blockade of that harbour has been raised. SAXONY. LEIPSIC, JULY 9.—His Imperial Highness the Archduke JOHN is expected to arrive at Dresden to morrow, as Regent of the German Empire. It is said that his MAJESTY will go as far as Lombare to meet the Regent, and will then accompany him to Leipsic. In Dresden the Communal Guard, the Academic and Tuhinck Legion, and the company of Archers, as well as the military, have been com manded to appear on parade to give the illustrious visitor a hearty welcome. In Leipsic the KING and the Regent are expected at one o'clock. HUN GARY. TERMESWAR, JUNE 27.—We have received the following intelligence :- 1. The civil and military Commissioners, CSEZNO. WITZ and HALROWSKY, have concluded a temporary convention with the insurgents assembled at Carto ritz and the Roman trenches, in consequence of which a complete pacification will be attempted. 2. Nearly the whole of the boundary cordon, to wards Servia, is broken up, and in Weiszkirchen the Servians have already come to market with tobacco and salt. Three armed hordes of Servians are roving about in Panisowz, and have lately made an irruption into Orsowa, which place is now occupied by them. In Palonka, Kubin, Moldavia, and Schivinnitzka, armed Servians enter the territory without molestation, and have already begun to exercise public rights there.— Ausfrian Gazette. PESTI!, JULY 4.—The Vienna Cabinet has addressed a note to our Ministry, desiring them to come to terms with the Illyrians at any price, otherwise the Vienna Ministry would suspend its neutrality—that is, take the part of the Illyrians. This price would be no other than the abolition of the Hun garian Ministry of 'War and Finance, the victory of :the Camarilla, and of the abso lutist reaction. In consequence of this note, from Vienna all the Deputies assembled yesterday at the residence of the Minister of Finance, KONUTII, when it was unanimously resolved that the Diet, on the first day of its sitting, should levy 200,000 sol diers, of whom 40,000 shall be forthwith placed on a footing of war, and that the Ministry should be in vested with the Dictatorship "pro tern." It was further resolved to offer the Illyrians terms of peace, to assure them of a ready desire to grant all their rea sonable wishes, in so far as they do not infringe upon the freedom, independence, or integrity of Hungary. The Illyrians are to choose their own Deputies for the Hungarian Diet, with whom, as legitimate organs, amicable negotiations are to be commenced. All the Hungarian Bishops and the Archbishops have declared to the Archduke Stadtholder, that they are ready to renounce all their estates for the benefit of the inferior clergy. The income of the Arch bishops amount to more than a million. Hence this voluntary renunciation must be considered not merely pure, but highly patriotic.—Breslau Gazette. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. Buc ,,, EsT .—lntelligence from Bucharest states that the HOSPODOR BUIESCO has been forced by the Bogans to sign an act of renunciation of the throne, and immediately after fled to Cronstadt in Transyl vania. As soon as he had left a Pr ov i s i ona l Govern ment for Wallachia was instituted, The whole object of this movement is to withdraw the Princi pality from the Russian Protectorate. CROATIA. AGRAM, JULY I.—The Baron BANN JELLACHICH has received the following letter from his Imperial Highness the Archduke : " Dear Baron Jellachich,—l was requested by his Majesty, in consequence of a petition presented to him by the Palatine and Minister of Hungary, to undertake the mediation and settlement of the disputes which had arisen between Hungary and its Croatian and Sclavonian dependencies, in the accomplishment of which I was called upon to ascertain the wishes of both parties in order to bring about a mutual understanding. The greatest speed in carrying out the office of mediator assigned to me is most calculated to ensure a suc cessful result. Hence, I deem it indispensable that you, as the Bann of Croatia, should respond to the call to appear at Vienna, as I have re quested the Hungarian Ministry to-day, and expect them immediately to reply by sending some of the representatives of their body. So soon as they arrive in Vienna, or announce their approach, no delay must take place on your part, and you will be in such way prepared that you can, without delay, take personal part in the proceedings at Vienna, which will have refer -once to the mode and conditions of the mutual under- Standing to be effected. As an indispensable condition to a permanent understanding, I have, nevertheless, deemed it necessary to order the immediate cessation of hostilities and all military armaments during the time of the negociations on both sides ; and I confidently expect that on your side, as well as on that of Hungary, mea sures will be adopted for the careful prevention H os. of any collision. On the return of the Bann the Diet was opened on the 29th June. He was received with great accla mations, and opened the session with the following speech : " Having, happily, accomplished my journey into the bOsepa of my beloved country, and having now the ep- E FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. Order was completely restored at Frankfort on the 10th, and the authorities had given orders for the arrest of the leaders in the late emeute. In the sitting of the German Parliament on that day, the President stated that the Administrator intended to leave Vienna yesterday with the deputation, and would arrive in Frankfort to-morrow.—(Enthusiastic cheers.) He begged leave to propose that the divisions should meet after the business of the day, to choose a committee for the arrangement of the festivities for the reception of the Administrator of the Empire, on his entry into the ancient city of Frankfort. This was agreed to unanimously. Dunker (otIle) obtained permission to bring the Schleswig-Holstein affair again before the House. This was an unexpected infringement of the " order of the day." Ile spoke to the great urgency of making the proposed armistice the subject of prompt deliberation, and entreated the Assembly to take immediate measures (difficult as he acknowledged this to be) to put an end to the war altogether. Claussen (of Kid) moved—" The National Assembly resolves that neither pacificatory nor hostile measures in reference to Denmark shall be decided upon except by the Administrator in concert with the National Assem bly." It was doubtlessly requisite that something should be promptly done to avert the threatening dan ger; but this could not be better done than by support ing the motion which he, in conjunction with many other members, had framed. The Assembly had decided that " the honour of Germany " i❑ this affair should be protected. He, however, was of opinion that, according to the " conditions of peace " propounded in the news papers, this honour had been grievously violated. The aim of those conditions was morally and physically wrong; it went to incorporate Schleswig with Denmark. Schleswig and Holstein were virtually German and not Danish possessions, and ho was sure that the only means now left of securing them for Germany was to drive out Danish rule altogether.—(Cries of " prove the urgency of the question.") The speaker then rambled into Spain, alluding to the precarious state of the dynasty there.—(Cries of "Enough, enough.") They would have reason to despise the inhabitants of Schleswig- Holstein if they accepted the proposed conditions of peace; but they might be assured that Schleswig-Hol steiners had German blood in their veins, and would not accept them. If they sought to preserve for Germany these two beautiful duchies, the favourites of two seas, and the possessors of an incomparable little army of their own, they could only do so by driving out the Danes altogether.—(Lcud cheers on all sides.) Wurm (of Harnburgh) said it was impossible to believe the reports of the newspapers in this else, e. y. that Prussia thought of making peace with Denmark, with out taking the opinion of the rest of Germany. This was a matter now for their Central Government only. Prince Lichnowsky here threw in a few inaudible words. Voght adverted to au article in the Allgemeine Zeitung of June 18. There they had read, to their utter astonishment, that Prussia did not fight to retain the two duchies for Germany, that it did not fight for the honour of Germany, but that the Prussian troops on the battle-field represented the cause of Denmark. Thus had Prussia, then, dis regarded the rights of the German people. He regretted that it thus had stained its arms. The President called Voght instantaneously to order. Prussia had not stained its arms—such an expression was as misplaced as it was untrue.—(Great clamour, pro and con.) They bad heard said (continued Voght) in the Prus sian Chamber, that Prussia accepted their chosen Lieutenant-General, but had protested against the con sistency of such an election. Now, they had determined that the making of peace or war should rest with the central power, in conjunction with the National As sembly. Prussia, therefore, had nothing to do as re garded the present peace. hatever might be the event, there had nothing as yet been said about single Govern ments being responsible for the resolutions of the As sembly. They, however, might be warned by the act of Prussia, and might now feel convinced, as he was, that there were Governments which, in affairs of war and peace, would not subject themselves to the decrees of the Assembly. Prince Lichnowsky expressed himself delighted to witness the general enthusiasm elicited by the affair of Schleswig-holstein. But if there were anything calcu. lated to damp this enthusiasm, it was the untimely use of such expressions against a principal Government as they had just heard from that rostrum. He regarded the matter as one too great, too grand, too intimately con nected with the honour of Germany to leave room for bitterness of party feeling or individual jealousy. He declined quoting from a mass of newspaper articles, neither would he call a truce a peace, though it might possibly be regarded as th e fi rst steps toa peace; and though he thought that the Assembly was right, nay, bound to discuss the subject, still it was not a matter of duty or right to go further into the affair until all the re lative documents were before it. Jordan warmly disclaimed the application of party feeling. The great question for decision was, whether England and Russia had had any hand in the pro jection of the armistice referred to. The spirit of Russian encroachment was developing itself daily. Russian troops were already in Moldavia ; in a few months they might be at Constantinople. He agreed with the first speaker (Dunker) as to the necessity of adopting prompt resolutions, and of en forcing them with energy and vigour, yet for formal reasons he could not entirely acquiesce with him. They had made a law that the Central Power, in concert with the National Assembly, should determine upon war and peace; and it would seem that this law required a new explanation if they hesitated to apply it in the present case. He, therefore, moved " That, taking into consi deration the probable falsity of the newspaper reports; and, further, that it rests with the Central Power, in concert with the National Assembly, to determine upon war and peace, the Assembly pass to the ' order of the day.' "—Carried. Several other Members, Vincke, Eisenmann, &c., spoke before the question on the above motion was put, but their speeches were either unimportant or inaudible. The President having announced the time of meeting for several Committees, and appointed eight A.m. to morrow for the time of the next sitting, in consequence of the Archduke being expected early, the House rose. PRUSSIA. The Government having ordered two battalions of infantry and a squadron of cavalry to, take up their quarters within the walls of Berlin, the Burgher Guard met and protested against this introduction of the regular troops. The money market continues to improve. Specu lation is active. Prussian S. S. S. reached 73f this morning, and all other securities and railway shares were equally in demand. The rumours of a termi nation of the Schleswig affair mainly contributed to this result, for which there is no other apparent cause .The political condition of Germany, certainly, does not warrant any improvement in public confidence. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the Bth, states that the Piedtnontese Ministry have given in their resignation collectively, on the question whether the war should be carried on to the last, or whether a temporizing policy should be adopted. The Ministry professed the latter opinion. GOIJA and DURINI ar e spoken of as forming part of the new Ministry. HANOVEIt. The King of HANOVER is described as by no means satisfied with the proceedings of the Frankfort Assembly. In his Message to the Second Chamber, communicating the intelligence of the election of the Archduke JOHN, his MAJESTY entered a sort of protest against the ulterior decision of the As sembly, announcing his intention to quit his king dom rather than submit to be dictated to by the National Assembly or the Lieutenant-General. It even seems doubtful whether the First Chamber will accept the election of the Archduke. TRIESTE. Letters from Trieste announce that on the 3d inst. Pirano was bombarded by the Italian fleet during three-quarters of an hour. The batteries returned the fire, and the squadron stood out to sea after losing some men. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, THURSDAY. Last evening Messrs. T. F. M'Gee and Hollywood were arrested upon a charge of sedition, uttered by them in speeches delivered at Round Wood, in the county of Wicklow, on the 2d inst. Bail was ac cepted. DUBLIN FUNDS, THURSDAY.—Three per Cent. Consols, 87i 87; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock, 87i HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.) 7, The House: sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Mountcashel. THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY V. HORNE. The counsel on behalf of the appellant in this appeal were heard this morning, and their Lordships, without hearing counsel for the respondents, ordered the judg ment of the court below to be affirmed, with costs. Appeal dismissed with costs. FULHAM V. VCARTHY. The arguments in this appeal from the decision of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland were then commenced, and occupied his Lordships the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) KNIGHT V. MAJORIBANKS. The further arguments in this part-heard case occu pied the Court the whole day. Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the Vice- Chancellors' Courts. BOW-STREET.-{THIS DAY.) Richard IV dsden Morris, late secretary to the Medical, Legal, and General Mutual Life Assurance Company, was brought up on a warrant charging him with know ingly uttering a forged receipt for 31. 2s. 6d. He was further charged with five similar forgeries. Mr. Humphreys prosecuted on behalf of the company. Mr. T. Webb Green, barrister-at-law, and one of the directors of the Medical and Legal Mutual Life Assu rance Company, said - , that in February last the prisoner was secretary to that company. At that time some arrears of the interest on the capital of the company were due, and it was the custom for the shareholders to call at the office, and obtain from the prisoner a printed form of receipt, filled up by the prisoner, signed by the shareholder himself, and at tested by the prisoner. This receipt when thus completely filled up would become a "pass" to the bankers (Messrs. Praed and Co., of the Strand) to pay the money. He now produced a receipt purporting to be signed by Mr. Chalmers, one of the shareholders, for 3/. 2s. 6d. interest on capital due to him in February last. That was written on one of the printed forms, and was filled up, signed, and attested, to the best of his belief, in the pri soner's handwriting. He now produced a ledger (kept by the prisoner), in page 37 of which he found an account of 1381. 16s. 6d. arrears of inte rest, due in February, and paid when applied for in that and the succeeding months. fie had examined that account with the prisoner in April last, and he then told the prisoner that he had not vouchers for the whole of that sum, and gave him a written list of those persons in whose names entries were made, but whose vouchers he had not received. In the course of a few days the prisoner produced vouchers referring to the accounts of those shareholders, and gave them to him. Among the number were the five which he now produced, They were written on the printed forms spoken of above, and, like that of Mr. Chalmers, were, to the best of his belief, filled up, signed, and attested in the hand writing of the prisoner. A clerk, from the office of Messrs. Praed and Co.. proved that the amount of the receipt, purporting to be signed by Mr. Chalmers, was paid at their bank in Feb. last. It having been intimated that a remand would be necessary, in order to complete the evidence on the six charges, Mr. JARDINE observed that the evidence in the case of Mr. Chalmers was quite sufficient to justify a remand, and accordingly the prisoner, who, being undefended, declined to cross•examine the witnesses, or make all statement, was remanded to this day week. He applied to be admitted to bail, and, this being refused, burst into tears, and was removed from the court, crying bitterly. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) PILLAGING A CRICKET GROUND.— William Thomas and John Wood, lads about sixteen years of age, were charged before Mr. Hammond with stealing a coat, the property of George Hailes, from the cricket-ground of the Brunswick Arms tavern. It appeared that the pro secutor was one in a match played yesterday in these grounds, and that the play had not been left off at half past seven o'clock, when one of the gentlemen saw some lads, running from the direction of the marquee, is which the coats of the cricketers had been deposited. Observing that more than one of the runaways bad a coat on his arm, he gave the alarm to his friends, and. as he himself stated, " instinctively" led the pursuit. The boys were first; the pursuers, tired from their day's sport, and as the light was fading, the thieves (except Thomas) all escaped, and with them three new coats• The prisoners would have got clear off bad not two gentlemen accidentally crossing the fields from the Cale• donian schools intercepted them, and turned the chase. Thomas turned in amongst the brick kilns, and after some search was caught upon the top of one of the stacks with Mr. Hailes's coat in 'his possession. Wood was afterwards _found hiding in the ditch of an adjoining field. The prisoners in their defence said that they had gone in the evening together across the fields for a walk, and as they came near the Brecknock Arms, they me 6 some boys running away with " a lot of coats and things " in their arms, several of which they were dropping as th e y ran . O ne of them let fall Mr. Hallos a coat, and Thomas took it up. Whereupon some men who were looking on told him to " be off with it," and he took their advice. The MAGISTRATE did not think there was sufficient evidence against Wood as an accessory, and accorditig l l discharged him, observing that the case was suspicious as regarded him, and cautioning him against bad cow pany. Thomas was fully committed. THE SHERIFFS ELECT.—Mr. Dousefield and Mr' Mills, who were on Midsummer-day elected sheriff'', have declined to serve in the office. Mr. Bow!wield has paid the fine, upwards of 6001. Mr. Mills, it is said, disputed the validity of the fine, and will b e pro ceeded against by the City Solicitor for the amount. A Common Hall will be held in a few days for the election of two other persons to serve in the office. The fines fie such cases are appropriated to the improvement of the City. LONDON JOINT STOCK BANK..—The twenty-second half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the offices, Princes-street, Sir R. Jenkins in the chair. The report, as read by the secretary, stated that the net profit of the bank for the half year ending 30th June was 33,4901. 3s. Bd., out of which 18,0001. had been ar propriated for the :payment of the dividend, 6 per cent-, the balance profit to be held over for disposal to the end of the year. The statement of accounts showed the lia bilities of the company to be 3,029,7631. Is. 5d., and the assets to leave a balance in hand of 29,2501. By the profit and loss account, it appeared that the balance in favour of the company was 72,882 L 4s. 9d. The report was adopted, the usual vote of thanks passed, and the meeting ended. AMERICAN Hors.—The American line of packet ship Independence, from New York, has brought 30 bales of hops as a portion of her general cargo, the growth of the United States of America.
