Richard O'Gorman, one of the insurrectionist leaders, escaped yesterday from the Shannon, in a vessel bound for America. A war-steamer has gone in pursuit. The jury in O'Doherty's case are locked up. ' What is to be done in Ireland, and for Ireland ? It is difficult to conceive a question of deeper and more vital importance than the above, not only to our brethren at the other side of St. George's Channel . but also to the English merchant, the English ma nufacturer, and more especially to the hard-working and overtoiled English operative. Our sister king dom has passed through an ordeal of the utmost se verity. Every person connected with that country, by property or by residence, has had his available resources taxed to the utmost extent. The sole article of food, on which three-fourths of the population had been exclusively supported, was almost wholly destroyed in the year 1846, and corn to the value of 30,000,0001. sterling was necessarily imported into the British dominions to supply the void thus occasioned. The agricultural labourers and their families, who were accustomed to rely on the produce of their potato ground, were reduced to the lowest extremity of misery and destitution, and notwithstand ing the gigantic exertions and the enormous expenditure of the Government of the United . Kingdom, and the large amount of contributions received from private sources, thousands and tens of thousands of the wretched peasantry perished of starvation in its most aggravated form, while a still larger number fell easy victims to the pestilence, in duced by the fearful condition to which the entire country was reduced. Millions experienced suffer ings scarcely paralleled on any former occasion. The most heartrending narratives of scarcity and famine at other times were fully equalled, if not ex ceeded, by those of 1846-7. Who can without shuddering reflect on the accounts that were daily sent over from Skibbereen, from Ennis, and from many other localities, the mere pe rusal of which excited the most lively emo tions, the most heartfelt commiseration, of every person of ordinary humanity. Under these deeply painful circumstances, England discharged kes,duty in a manner which deservedly obtained the approbation of all civilized nations. She unhesi tatingly flung herself into the breach. She strained every nerve and taxed her mighty resources to the utmost extent. She took upon herself the arduous duty of supplying daily food to three millions of persons ; and although her benevolent and bountiful efforts were in too many instances requited with base ingratitude, she relaxed not her humane exertions until the intensity of the crisis had been encountered, and the favourable harvest of 1847 enabled the Irish people to be fed from the pro duce of Irish lands, but continued to maintain those by whom her Government and her people were slandered and calumniated. A heavy iprice was paid for the assistance thus rendered. Th e luxury of doing good was not ob tained without considerable sacrifices. Our monetary affairs were d erange d , our trade and commerce materially deteriorated, our merchants reduced from affluence to the verge of bankruptcy, a ho n ie d ,eh voteuhrre,yroepwpe.eernraet tives deprived of th e employment on w themselves depend en t. W e did not, h the course we pursued, although stillsufferingNhaedver ,be fully from its results. W e would, however, hev unable again, and before re covered from the effects o f our former u sets, to a d o pt a similar line of conduie h ent the e irc r u el m ief s t a nces, too, are materially changed, since works of 1847 were in operation. The poverty of Ireland is now a legal charge upon its property, an d none can perish for want while any have a super :4lMS PAPLlflillty. Should we have a repetition of the potato re, the burden will chiefly fall upon the landed Lietary of Ireland, and how far are they prepared in the weight that may thus be imposed upon - efg !,yll__ _ r . 111 , • 4.0! 3 them? We fear but badly; that, in fact, it could not be effected without ample aid from this country—aid which would not be afforded as a gratuitous gift, but as a loan, the repayment of which would scrupulously be exacted. Still, even under such circumstances, it would materially affect our own position, and if it comes on suddenly will act with much greater severity. It is therefore highly desirable that all the resources of Ireland, more especially those that may be speedily made available, should be called into operation ; that the labour of the people should be directed into the most beneficial channels, so as to afford reproductive em ployment in every practicable manner. In one respect Ireland is more favourably cir cumstanced than it has been for many years past. The abortive attempt at rebellion, which has been so happily and so completely quelled, has put an end to the baleful system of agitation that so long pre vailed, and frightened English enterprise and Eng lish capital from her shores. There is now a com plete lull ; we have the calm after the tempest, and should Lord CLARENDON be spared to govern Ireland with equal judgment and discretion to that which he has exhibited since he was nominated its chief ruler, we have no doubt of the result, or that greater prosperity than it has long known will ere long be witnessed throughout the whole of ,the country. The most recent accounts respecting the potato crop, although we hope and believe that they are in many respects exaggerated, yet contain sufficiently grave warning to induce us to set our house in order, and to prepare for any failure that may take place, however extensive, at such a period. The deep sea and the coast fisheries are mines of wealth, if properly worked, and that of the very kind which would prove most beneficial. A valuable auxiliary would be afforded in the fish that could be caught and properly cured, if due means were only taken to have those fisheries conducted in a judicious and effi cient manner. There is no investment of capital that would yield more ample returns, regarding it as a mere speculation, but there is also none that could be of greater public benefit to both countries. The Irish fisheries cannot be neglected in the present condition of the country without subjecting all those who might aid or assist in promoting the object to grave and heavy censure. There are other means also which will be found conducive to the same great end of providing useful employment for the people, to which we shall allude on a future oc casion, and amongst which, that suggested by, the prospectus of the recently-formed "Irish Ameliora tion Society," occupies a prominent position. Most sincerely do. we hope that the objects of that benevo lent and patriotic society may be fully carried out, and more than realise the anticipations of its pro- - 1 moters. We shall shortly return to the consideration of the measures that should be adopted in Ireland in prepa• tion for the forthcoming winter. We have repeatedly directed the public attention to the defective and disgraceful state of our law in respect to the administration of criminal justice. We have advocated and pointed out the necessity for the assimilation of the practice to that which prevails in Scotland, by the appointment of a public pro secutor, whose duty it will be not only to carry on and conduct all proper prosecutions, and to see that the guilty shall not escape with impunity, but also to interpose his veto, and to prevent any improper prose cutions from being carried on (as is now too fre quently the case) for the gratification of private ma lignity and revenge, or for the purpose of extortion, oppression, or coercion. We have to the utmost of our power endeavoured to expose the infamous system, now of almost daily occurrence, of grand juries finding bills of indictment on the most serious charges, in the absence of the accused, without any investigation in his presence, and without the oppor tunity being afforded to him of rebutting the vague and insufficient testimony with which the members of the grand inquest are too easily contented. Such a system is generally carried on with the most Com plete success and impunity. The great majority of the victims naturally feel the greatest objection to expose themselves to the annoyance and heavy expense of defending a criminal prosecution, al though they may have the clearest and most triumphant defence to the trumpery and unfounded charges that may be preferred. Persons frequently submit to gross extortion, or abandon a portion of their undoubted rights, as the lesser evil. And thus it is that thousands of cases of great hardship take place of which the public never hear. It is in rare instances, when parties of energy, resolution, and public spirit resist the atrocious system, and at an enormous expense of money, exertion, and mental anxiety, expose it in all its iniquity and injustice, that the public attention is properly directed to the subject. Persons thus coming forward appear to us to be eminently en titled to the thanks and gratitude of the community at large for pointing out the abuses and grievances to which all are liable, and suggesting the reforms and alterations in the administration of the law that are so urgently required. During the past week Lord BROUGHAM, whose ex traordinary exertions for the amelioration of the law and practice of our criminal code are entitled to the utmost praise, presented a petition from a gentleman named HARDING, a member of the bar, which, if we ll founded (and we see no reason to doubt its accuracy) so strongly corroborates the views and opinions to which we have from time to time given expression, that we cannot refrain from again alluding to the subject, and quoting it as an additional and powerful illustration of the evils and abuses of the exist ing system. After stating " that the present mode of proceeding before grand juries in criminal matters, in finding bills of indictment upon ex parte statements, and without any inquiry or investigation in the presence of the accused, is contrary to the first principles of the British Constitution, and is inconsistent with the due liberty of the subject ;" pointing out the vast inconvenience that may thereby be occasioned to innocent persons, and the oppor tunities afforded for the gratification of private ma. lignity and revenge, or for the purposes of extortion, coercion, or vexation, and that many persons gain a disreputable livelihood by preferring unwarranted charges and afterwards abandoning them upon receiv. ing sums of money from their victims, and showing that even after the most searching examination before magistrates who have dismissed the charges, pro nouncing them to be utterly untenable, bills have been preferred, and found, without any notice to the defendants, who have therefore been apprehended and committed to prison—Mr. HARDING refers to a case in which he was himself a party, and the circum stances of which, as set forth in his petition, he de clares himself able to prove upon the most indispu table evidence. He states, " that having filed his bill in the Court of Chancery, seeking to recover a large sum due to him, and having obtained an order of that Court in his favour, pro nounced after full argument by counsel on both sides, the defendant in the suit endeavoured to in duce the petitioner to enter into a compromise, which he believed to be injurious to his interests, and there formejected. That the defendant, therefore, con ceived the plan of coercing the petitioner into a compromise, or abandonment of his claim, by means of the facilities now afforded of making false and unfounded charges before grand juries, and getting bills of indictment framed in the absence of the accused. " That accordingly he trumped up two bills of in dictment against the petitioner upon absurd and un founded charges, went before the grand jury without the knowledge of the petitioner, and upon an ex parte and uncontradicted statement got the bills found as true bills. " That immediately afterwards the prosecutor, also behind the petitioner's back, made an affidavit that he had been informed (without even venturing to state that he believed) that the petitioner was going to the colonies, and thereupon obtained an order to hold petitioner to bail in the heavy sum of 2,0001., although petitioner never thought of going to the colonies or of leaving the country, which was well known to the prosecutor." The petition, after further detailing the great annoyance and heavy expense to which the petitioner was expos e d b e f ore h e cou ld procure th e necessary fail, he being almost a stranger in London, and also that great intimidation was resorted to, to prevent parties fr om b ecom i ng bound for him: at length perfected his securities, and removed the cases by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench, where they came on for trial at the sittings of the last Trinity Term, before special juries. The pro secutor, however, declined to offer any evidence whatever in either case, and there were, of course, verdicts of Not Guilty in favour of the petitioner. It further states that " petitioner was put to an ex pense of several hundred pounds in defending such vexatious prosecutions, which he is wholly unable to recover, inasmuch as criminal prosecutions being car ried on nominally in the name of the Crown, no costs can be recovered, and although petitioner might ob tain a verdict for damages against the prosecutor for malicious prosecution, yet such would be wholly useless, as the previous existing debt due to petitioner by the prosecutor, is already much more than he can discharge :" and adds, " That pe titioner is advised by eminent counsel, and believes that if the alleged charges, the subject-matter of such indictments, had been inquired into either by a ma gistrate, a public prosecutor, or any other proper public officer, in the presence of petitioner, such al leged charges would have been at once dismissed, and the petitioner would have been thereby saved the enormous expense and inconvenience to which he has been put." Surely the mere possibility of the occurrence of circumstances, such as those narrated in the above petition, should be sufficient to insure the required amendment in the practice, and to induce us, as Lord BROUGHANI remarks, " to borrow from our Scottish neighbours their invaluable institution of a public prosecutor." SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th instant have arrived. They mention the submission of the band of insur gents organized by ELLOJO DE CARMENA. Further changes in the Ministry were anticipated. Near Burgos the mails were stopped by a party of robbers, and not by a band of Carlists, as the ene mies of the cause of MONTEMOLIN would have one to imagine; in proof of this it is only necessary to ob serve that the mail-bags were untouched, while the passengers were rifled of their trinkets and purses. On reaching Cadiz, Senor GONZALES BRAVO had been shut up in one of the forts, and had not em barked for the Philippines, as was feared. Little further intelligence was contained in the papers of the 6tl-1 This day, being Sunday, there was no Bourse. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have in due course received the Paris journals of yesterday. Rumours of an insidious character are again afloat as to the participation of M. DE LAMARTINE in the treasonable schemes of the anarchists. We treat those dastardly whispers of slander with the scorn they merit. Prom the lifessager we transcribe the following significant paragraph : "It is stated that one of the documents which the Committee of Inquiry did not think itself bound to ren der public is a long letter written by one of the principal personages in our days of evil omen, from which it re sults that the Conductor and the Lightning had not al ways the affinity which has been attrituted to them. It is a manifesto written at a lucid moment, in the name of the spirit of patriotic order, against the spirit of revolu tionary agitation; in the name of the spirit of peace, against the spirit of war; in the name of the noble and elevated ideas of conciliation, against the narrow and retrospective ideas of counterfeiting in 1848 the inspira tions of 1793." The same journal has this satisfactory announce• ment respecting the 'distinguished journalist, M, MICHEL CHEVALIER : " We are assured that it is proposed to re-establish the chair of political economy, which was filled by M. Michel Chevalier at the College de France. It will be remembered that this chair was suppressed by the Pro visional Government in favour, without doubt, of the Socialist system of education which M. Louis Blanc was at that time inculcating at' the Luxembourg." On Thursday morning Lord PALMERSTON had a lengthened interview with General CATAIGNAC at the Hotel in the Rue de Varennes. The principal subject of interest discussed in the newspapers is, of course, the question of intervention or non-intervention in Italy. The lieforme closes a brutal article against a joint mediation of France and England with the following interrogatories : "Is net England what she has always boen, the same hypocritical and avaricious oligarchy, whose only reli gion has been pride and merchandise? Does not her Government, whether it be called Pitt or Palmerston, pursue the same policy, that of pirates? Is not Wel lington, this chance noble, this rag of glory, still the soul and chief of her councils?" Speaking of the position of the Piedmontese army in regard to Lombardy, the Debate observes : " The news of the capitulation of Milan was an nounced throughout all Switzerland, and even to the Vorort. General Zucchi, who commanded the Lom bardian troops at Milan, arrived at Lugano on the 6th inst., announcing that the Austrians were to take pos session of the city on that day, but no further account of its actual occupation has yet been received. "At Turin, on the 6th inst., the authorities were busily occupied with the organization of tho National Guard (Mobile), and reinforcements of the line. At that date no dispatches had been received, either from the King or from the army. "Marshal Radetzky has at his disposal a total force of from 80,000 to 100,000 men. More than three-fourths of this force act against Milan, and the remainder attack the line of the Po. " According to accounts from Innspruck the Austrians would have occupied Placentia on the 3d or the 4th, and advanced half the distance to Pavia, thus threatening to cut off the retreat of the Piedmontess army. This movement must have had great weight with Charles Albert in the arrangement he has come to. It may be truly said that he has held Lombardy to the last moment. A dreadful fatality has weighed on him, but his honour comes out of the trial unsullied." Now, that La Presse has arrived at the period of its resurrection, and now that the voluble and saga cious EMILE DE GIRARDIN has again found voice, it becomes somewhat interesting to learn from that proscribed newspaper and persecuted journalist, the views entertained by the organ of the Orleanists, as to the proposed mediation of the Governments repre sented by M. BASTIDE and Lord PALMERSTON. Here is the manifesto of the Presse : " Hurried by the necessity for drawing off our journal, we had only time to notice, at the end of our number of yesterday, that the answer of Lord Palmerston, so impa tiently expected, had at last arrived. We added that it was not altogether what was expected, which, en passant proves how incorrect the Journal des Debats was in stat ing that the courier from London had brought the ad hesion of the English Cabinet to the bases of mediation laid down by the Government of the Republic. We shall now state the facts from authentic information, and complete our account of the negotiations relating to the mediation offered by France and England for the pacifi cation of Italy. In our article of yesterday we remarked that the mission of the Marquis de Ricci to the French Government comprised two distinct questions. The first was what France would do in case Piedmont should be invaded by Marshal Radetzky; the second was as to the formal demand of the intervention of France. The answer of Lord Palmerston also embraces these two different points as to the eventuality of the invasion of Piedmont by Austria, the English Cabinet, participates in the opinion of France, that it must be opposed by all possible means, and that :the representatives of France and England, M. de Reizet and Mr. Abercromby, should be furnished with every requisite authority for imposing au armistice on Marshal Radetzky until the Cshinet of Vienna shall have given an answer to the offer of mediation about to be made to it in the names of France and Great Britain. As to the bases of the arrangement to be proposed. for the conclusion of a peace between Austria and King Charles Albert, we know irons good authority that the French Government wished that at least a proposal should be made to Austria to evacuate Italy entirely, on being guaranteed a pecuniary indemnity for the terri tories given up which had belonged to the ci devant Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. On this point, Lord Palmerston observed that, after the confidential over tures he had received through Baron Hun:whiner, the envoy ad hos sent to London by;the Austrian Government he was convinced that Austria would never, at any price, consent to give up her Italian provinces, and the more so as she could rely upon the support of the Ger man Parliament of Frankfort in retaining possession of the line of the Adige, which, in strategy, is considered to be the bulwark f South Germany. This is why Lord Palmerston is of opinion that, for entering upon serious negotiations with the Cabinet of Vienna, it is necessary to recur to the proposals for peace which Austria was, two months ago, the first to make to the Government of Lombardy. These propositions are sufficiently known. Austria, preserving the Venetian provinces up to the left bank of the Adige, would acknowledge the political independence of Lombardy, stipulating for an engagement from this last, that it would take upon itself a part of the debt of the Im perial Treasury. Although these propositions were put forward by Austria under conditions much more un favourable for her, that is to say, at a period when the Sardinian army threatened to force the line of the Adige, and when most of the Venetian towns were en franchised from the Imperial Government, Lord Pal. merston strongly urged the Cabinet of Vienna to accept the mediation of France and England, if our Govern ment would consent to adopt the line of the Adige as the basis of negotiations to be opened for the conclusion of a treaty of peace between King Charles Albert and Marshal Radetzky. At the same time as the answer of Lord Palmerston arrived at Paris, a telegraphic dis patch was received, announcing that, on the sth, the remains of the Piedniontese army, rallied under the command of the Duke of Savoy, sustained a defeat under the very walls of Milan. Whatever m ay have beers the heroic resistance of the inha bitants of Milan, it is to be feared that the te.pital of L r m is b t a ic r o dy be will riot fall, pressed. ere long, it the eonc.usion of th e But Marshal Radetzky, em boldened by success, will not consent to au armistice as armistice long as he shall feel a conviction that the proposition made to his Government by France and England have not been favourably received at Vienna. Consequently, the Council of Ministers, which was held yesterday evening, under the presidency of General Cavaignac, resolved that it was urgent that the arrangement proposed by Lord Palmerston should be adopted, and according to which the line of the Adige should be guaranteed to Austria if she consents to abandon Lombardy. It was to this effect that instructions were sent last night to our agents at Vienna and Turin, in order to induce the bel ligerent parties to accept as promptly as possible the Franco-English mediation." Every movement, no matter how insignificant, in the army of the Alps assumes of course a particular significance at this juncture. Hence it is by no means unimportant to mention that General MAGNAU is about to establish his head-quarters at Bourg — that the department of the Ain is destined to receive the third division—that the fourth division has, according to letters from Moulins, received orders to march immediatelY—and that the Journal de l' Ain of the 7th instant declares that the army of the Alps is about to move in advance. The National admits that the Provisional Govern ment, in the month of March, endeavoured to force an armed intervention on the people of Italy, and that it was repulsed. It speaks of constraining Austria to set Lombardy free, and says that France has forces ready to do so. " Let it be understood," says the National, " that if our voice is powerless or not lis tened to, if our mediation be refused, the force of arms will accomplish the task that France has imposed upon herself as regards Italy." It is said that Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER, who arrived in Paris on Tuesday last, is to conduct the negotiations on the part of England, should the me diation of England and France in the affairs of Italy be accepted by Austria. In the last meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, it would appear that M. NAPOLEON BONA PARTE, in the presence of M. CAVAIGNAC, protested against the policy of the Government as more abject than that of M. GUIZOT. We regret to learn that uneasiness respecting the internal condition of the Republic is rather generally felt in Paris. BOUESE.—PAnis, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11.

Letters from Berne, dated the 4th, state that the Diet has resolved to place 16,000 men on the fron tiers of Switzerland in order to guard against any sudden irruption on the part of the Austrians, but that it has refused to allow a French army to pass through Switzerland, a request to that effect having been made by the Duke of LITTA, a delegate from the Provisional Government of Milan. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. Another violent discussion took place in the sitting of the United Diet on the Bth, in consequence of the Vice-President being called upon to reprimand HERR BRENTANO for bis disorderly conduct on the previous day. The tumult rose again to such a height that the Assembly was adjourned for one hour. When the sitting was renewed, HERR BRENTANO as cended the tribune, amidst the cheers of the persons assembled in the public galleries ; whereupon the Vice-President ordered " all strangers" (including the reporters) to withdraw. Subsequently the latter were allowed to return, but the motion to admit the general public was negatived by 380 to 91. An animated discussion then ensued on the petition for a general amnesty for political offenders. Finally, the Assembly voted the order of the day, by a majority of 317 to 90; thus virtually declaring against the amnesty. AUSTRIA. Our intelligence from Vienna is to the 6th. The conferring, by the EMPEROR, of the order of Leopold• on Count BRANDI°, the obnoxious ex- Governor of Tyrol, has created considerable exaspe ration. The Finance Minister has expressed hii de termination to abolish the Jewish impost and to in troduce an income-tax. The Hungarian Diet has declared in favour of an offensive and defensive alliance with Austria. It was known in Vienna by an official bulletia in the Wiener Zeitung of the 6th inst., that RADETZKY had crossed the Adda with three columns, and that CuARLEs ALBERT had fallen back. PRUSSIA. Berlin papers of the 9th have arrived. A case of Asiatic cholera had been officially an nounced at Posen. The patient had, however, survived. Th e people of Berlin appear to be occupied more with their local affairs, and particularly with the constable question, than with the Danish question. That body is becoming every day more and more unpopular, and it is likely that in a few days the Constituent As sembly will either vote for the total dissolution of that corps, or for a considerable restriction of its powers. SWEDEN. STOCKUOLM, AUG. 2.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs has returned to Stockholm. In consequence of the difficulties which have arisen in the negotiations for peace between Germany and Denmark, the KING has postponed his return to Stockholm. — Hamburgh Bersenhalle, Aug. 7.

Letters from Frankfort state that Lord COWLEY is making every endeavour to effect the armistice be tween Germany and Denmark, and that there is a prospect of a speedy settlement of the question. COPENHAGEN, AUG. s.—The Departements Zeitung contains the official announcement of the extension of the Danish blockade to the mouth of the Elbe. DENMARK. From Stockholm, under date August 2, we learn that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has returned to Stockholm. The commander of the Swedish troops in Funen, General LOWENUEILM, has contradicted the report that the Swedish troops had petitioned to take an active part in the Schleswig-Holstein question. In consequence of the difficulties which have arisen in the negotiation for peace between Germany and the KING has po s tp on ed his retur n t o Dm Stockholm.enaDenmark, ITALY. LOMBARDY. Even to this moment we are without official con firmation of the capture of Milan by RADETZELT, though of the fact of that capture there cannot re main, in any rational mind, one shadow of doubt. Advices have indeed been received from Turin of the 7th, which confirm the news of the evacuation of Milan by the Piedmontese army, in consequence of a capitulation and the retirement of that army beyond the Ticino. Since the above paragraph was written—before the ink is dry—the following official bulletin, published on the 7th inst. in the Piedmontese Gazette, has reached us:— `° The communications with the army are re•opened. After the battle of the 4th his Majesty had shut himself up in Milan, to decide its fate ; but seeing that the in creasing numbers of the enemy did not permit him to make an indefinite resistance, and wishing to save that town from the horror of being taken by assault or famine, the King has left it, in virtue of a capitulation, which guarantees life and property . to the Milanese. Our army has retired behind the Ticino. Her Majesty was yesterday at Magenta. We will make known to the public, as soon as we have received them, the parti culars of tho operations of war of these latter days. " The Minister of War, COLLEGNO. " Turin, Aug. 7." Great anxiety is naturally felt as to the explosion of vengeance against the unfortunate Milanese imme diately the Austrians have secured their power in the capital of Lombardy. ' The reports which we gave yesterday from the Swiss journals of the ezieute at Milan on the sth, and of the alleged measures to which CHARLES ALBERT was driven, must be taken with much reserve. Mar shal RADETzKy had four divisions of his army, be sides a division of reserve, each of these consisting of from fifteen to twenty thousand men. Three divi sions, with the reserve, acted against Milan. The fourth attacked the line of the Po. In addition to the announcement of the capi tulation, the Piedmontese Gazette contains a va riety of ,decrees —appointing the Prince Lieutenant- General Commander-in-Chief on the Piedmontese side of the Ticino and the right bank of th e P o _ naming a committtee of public safety—constitutin g commissioners for the mobilization of the Nation:s • Guard—and adoptiog by the State the widow s an d orphans of those who have fallen since the cum mencement of the campaign. According to a report yesterday evenin g prevalent in Paris, RADETZKY had received instructions from Vienna to remain at Milan until the conclusion of peace, Austria being prepared to listen to the me diation of France and England. Such a rumour, we need scarcely say, is most improbable. ROME. Communications of an exclusive character have reached us from Rome, dated 2cl instant. They state that a sensation of the most profound and mournful character was produced there by the intelligence of the discomfiture of the Piedmontese. "To arms! To arms!" were the only cries, coupled with shouts of " Viva l'ltalia!" which resounded through the streets of the Eternal City. The Chamber of Deputies had declared itself in permanence after unanimously voting the following address to his HOLINESS : " MOST HOLY FATHER! "In the present critical position of the country the Chamber of Deputies applies to your Holiness, in whose name it was that Italy first rose in vindica tion of her national rights—those rights which were doubly consecrated by the disinterested and un daunted words addressed by your Holiness to the powerful despot now endeavouring to reserve his dominions by the sword. "The independence of an Italian state cannot be secured until the whole of Italy is independent. The main question in respect to all of us reduces itself to this simple proposition—To Be or Not To Be Ita lians! For you, Prince, the only alternative is—to lead a free people along the pathway of moderation, or to submit with us to the yoke of a foreign con queror ! For you, Pontiff, the sole duty and respon sibility remains—to defend the patrimony of the Church, whose venerable chief you are ! The Cham ber of Deputies is ready and determined to defend to the last extremity all the rights of the Church, of the People, and of the Nation. " Most Holy Father, we beseech you to place con fidence in the representatives of the people, who have been elected by the law you yourself have sanctioned —they have a full trust in you ! Confide in our de votion—in the love we bear you—which is of itself almost a religion. Help us—help Italy, in the name of GOD ! " We think it necessary to call to arms a sufficient number of volunteers, to put in movement all the National Guards, to enlist a foreign legion under the banners of your oliness, and to fill the treasury of the State with extraordinary contributions. We are resolved to encounter any sacrifices, however great, because we are anxious to save for your Holiness—the State and the Glory ; for Italy—her Independence ; for all—Horiour And we are further actuated by an ardent desire to protect your states from intestine discords ani from those terrible subversions which would threaten, were we not to direct the popular enthusiasm to a good purpose, and which is still in evitable if you do not interpose your authority to help our views. Lend, Holy Father, a gracious hearing to the voice of your devoted children. Do not permit that under the reign of Pius IX. the memory of a disaster to the Italian army may ever oppress our conscie nce w ith the weight of a remorse ! ' In addition to this noble, inspiriting, and beau tiful address to the Sovereign PONTIFF, the Roman Parliament has sanctioned the following measures :—The arming of twelve thousand foreign legionaries ; the mobilization of twelve thousand civic guards ; the appointment of an ex perienced General enjoying public confidence ; the enrolment of volunteers throughout the State ; a loan of four millions of scudi to meet the expenses, and an address to the Parliaments of Tuscany, Sardinia, and Naples, inviting them to be united for the safety of Italy. Later intelligence from Rome up the 4th inst., describes that capital as in a state of most extraor dinary agitation. Count MAMIANI had resigned ; and an edict from the PONTIFF (which will be given in our third edi tion), coupled with the subsequent choice of a new Ministry, had restored the city to tranquillity. The new Ministry was composed of-- Com:tom Buss', Foreign Affairs. Count FARBRI, Interior. LAURO LAURI, Finance. CAMPELLO, War. GALLETTI, Police. STURRINETTI, Public Works. NAPLES. The difference which had arisen here with the English authorities, in consequence of shots fired on a British vessel without explanation given, has been arranged, the Minister of Foreign Affairs having made an ample apology to the British Ambassador. The expedition to Sicily had been suspended. The number of Sicilians captured in the vessel off Corfu was 624. They were imprisoned at Nisida. On the 3d, the Fives were done at 85i. BOULOGNE. (mom A CORRESPONDENT.) Tranquillity being (as we are fain to hope and believe) permanently established at Paris, the Boulognese are looking forward to the fine weather for their ordinary influx of English visitors. Opinion varies as to whether or not the number of strangers will this year be so great as usual; some declare that foreigners will be afraid to venture even into this most peaceable corner of a country recently revolutionized, while others assert with equal assurance and equal plausibility that curiosity will over balance timidity—people will wish to see with their own eyes a glimpse of the new Republic. As to which opinion may be right time alone can decide, but the shopkeepers and the raaitres d' hotel seem inclined to that opinion which is most favourable to their own interests, and are exerting themselves with their usual disin terested hospitality to provide for the entertainment of the expected strangers. The number of hotels has been increased since last season by one bearing a name of happy augury—the " Hotel de la Paix." This house of " Peace " has evidently been prepared for the especial convenience of foreign visitors, for it is situated in a most central situation, within a stone's throw of everywhere, as will be seen by a brief descrip tion of its whereabouts. The Hotel de la Paix is in the middle of the Grande Rue at the entrance of the Passage d'Herlen (this passage by the way is considerably improved and now contains shops of of all descriptions); vis-a-vis to the hotel is the Church of St. Nicholas and the market-place, which presents a pretty coup d'ceil to the loungers at the hotel windows. At the back of the hotel (through the passage) are the English church and the post-office; on the left hand, at the top of the hill, are the old town, the ramparts, and (just now) the fair, while on the right hand, is the Rue de l'Ecu, loading to the Port. Having said so much of the exterior of this new hotel, let us say a word about its internal arrangements. Here, notwithstanding the elegance of the apartments and the comfort of the arrangements, economy is the order of the day—e.g., a dinner at the table d'hote (and those who have dined in France alone know what is a dinner at a table d'hote, namely, the very antipodes of a dinner at Duke Humphrey's)—a dinner at the table d'hote may be had for two francs and a half (about two shillings), wine included; a breakfast for one franc, or dejeuner d la fourchette; for one franc and a halt, and saideverythingreferenc e els e in l t i o k e thisp roponretw h otel, conti nued It peace permits the English to visit Boulogne the hotel of " Peace" will not permit them (voluntarily) to depart hence. has tha b t een if happily SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Railway Shares were exceedingly dull, and with but limited transactions. Prices had a downward tendency still. The statement made under this head as to the proba ble diminution of the bullion reserves of the Bank of England, is borne out by the return before us, made out for the week to the 9th inst. The causes to be assigned are undoubtedly the exports making by a great " capi talist" house to the Continent, and, as stated, to supply the wants of one or two Foreign Governments ; and pos sibly, also, there may have been exports in connexion with orders for foreign grain. The Government ba lances were added to, but there is a further indication of the increased demand for money, or rather of its being held tighter, in the reduction of the other deposits. The business of the Bank was again diminished : Notes issued 26,690,31k Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits 2,888,368 Increase Other Deposits 9,968,628 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes Decrease Bullion .13,396i654 Decrease Active circulation .18,69g,1 1 : 6 Decrease The Antsterdamche Courant publishes the following statement of the amount obtained by sales of colonial products up to the Ist of August, 1848:- 287,821 pieces Coffee nett produce 3,932,000 614,218 „ Sugar ... 4,252,700 7,047 „ Indigo ... 1,635,100 102 " Cochineal 25,200 4,814 " Tobacco ... 62,600 florins 9,907,800 The Hamburgh mail, arrived to-day, brings the rate of exchange on London again lower, viz., 13.51. A great deal of silver from England and Holland had been forwarded to Vienna. Money was easy, and hopes were still entertained that the Danish dispute would be ami cably arranged by the intervention of Lord Cowley. In the City this morning the feeling is not altogether satisfactory. Among other things it is rumoured that the Bank of. England will probably advance the rate of discount at its next parlour meeting. Possibly this may occur, but the object will be not to check ►peculation in grain, which in reality has not been commenced to en extent warranting uneasiness, or even reprobation, since we always need moderate supplies, but to prevent the exportation of specie to the Continent for the supply of the armies engaged in belligerent operations. There have been imports of specie from various parts, but the exports from London this week have been large, viz., 350,000 ounces of silver, and about 12,900 ounces of gold. " The Funds have been extremely heavy again. Con sols 85i to 864 for present transfer, and 85/ to 86/ for account.
