I thoroughly believe that the reason of their enmity to that Noble Lord is, that they believe he is a friend to free and popular institu tions. He wished to see liberty established all over the world.

I want you, this great assembly which I am now addressing, in the heart of this metropolis—the greatest city of the world.

Let us enable Lord Palmerston to show that to his colleagues, and to those Governments of thncon tinent who are against us.—(Cheers.) We shall thus strengthen his hands, and this great inceting will have done a work which the friends of liberty and of indepen dence may well be proud of.—(Cheers.) I will not de tain you further, but I cannot help saying how much I congratulate myself—bow much I congratulate this country—how much I congratulate Hungary—how, much I congratulate Europe, and the friends of liberty where soever they are, at this great and glorious ;meeting— (Cheers)—and I rejoice that this resolution, which I have endeavoured to put before you, is to be seconded by a man well worthy to do so, and to whom we are chiefly indebted for this meeting—because I do believe that if it had not been for the indomitable energy, cou rage, and perseverance of my friend Mr. Cassell, it would not have been possible to get over the various difficulties that have arisen in collecting together this important, and influential mceeting. I shall now move the following resolution:— " That the immediate recognition of the Government, de facto, of the kingdom of Hungary, by this country, is no less demanded by considerations of justice and policy, and the commercial interests of the two states, than with a view of putting a stop to the effusion of human blood, and of terminating the fearful atrocities which mark the progress of the Austro-Russian armies." (The Noble Lord resumed his seat amidst loud cheers and waving of hats, which lasted several minutes.) Mr. CASSEL seconded the resolution, and observed that the letter which had appeared in the Times de nouncing the Hungarian nation had been the chief cause of this meeting being held. Hungary might have bled for the dastard feeling exhibited towards her in a portion of the English press, but this meeting, and others of a like character, would convince them that whatever the Times might say the sympathies of the English people were in their favour.—(Cheers.) So much this meeting would ac complish, but there was something more it could do. A number of unfortunate Hungarians had been driven to seek shelter on our shores from the tyranny of France and Austria, and they were at present encamped at Folkstone. Lord Nugent and others had got up a subscription for their support, and, he hoped they would contribute to the subscription which was being raised for equipping and sending them back to their native homes to assist their fellow-countrymen in their present struggle for free dom.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried by acclamation. Mr. MOWATT, M.P., next addressed thu meeting, and said that it he were to take the meeting as a fair sample of and representing the opinions and feelings of the city of London, and still more of the people of England—and he saw no reason why he should not—he thought it must be admitted that those who asserted that the people of this country were indifferent to the fate of Hungary had, in the expression of the fervid opinions uttered there this day, received a pretty satisfactory answer. He contended that distant as was the scene of action, the cause contended for on the plains of Hungary was not more an Hungarian, a European, than it was the cause of England. It was the old fight in which they had been engaged for centuries and which was still going go, of liberty against despotism under one form or another. In that struggle, whenever it existed, they had the deepest interest. The gallant people, whose cause they had met there to advocate, were indeed fight ing their battle as much as their own. Surely, then, they would afford them at least all the encouragement in their power by the strongest expression of their heart felt sympathy to do more. Since it was considered im prudent in the present state of affairs—and that expression had certainly not been withheld from them, so far as the people in that room were concerned, but they must not stop there—they must complete their work. They must place their opinions on record, and in such a way as that they would become universally known and produce their proper effect; and to enable them to do so, he now proposed that a petition, founded on the foregoing reso lutions, be adopted, and presented to the Commons House of Parliament. It was true that, constituted as that House at present was, representing, and that but imperfectly, only a section of the people, he had not much hope of their being able to produce much influence there, but they could at any rate, by that course, bring the subject, through the House of Commons, before the country, and even with respect to the Government, their petition would at least be heard by one not unwilling ear. He meant that of Lord Palmerston, everywhere the true, consistent, and steady friend of liberty.—(Tremendous cheering.) He (Mr. Mowatt) was no admirer or friend of the present Whig. Government, as every one who had paid him the compliment of noticing his votes in Parliament mist know, believing them to have abandoned since in office almost all those great principles which had led to their being trusted with power—in fact, he must say that, speaking of them as a body, he despised them. H e was, however, bound to declare there his conviction that the popular cause—the cause of freedom over the world—had not a more rational, a more earnest, and a more enlightened friend—one who looked further or more boldly into future consequences than the Foreign Minister of this country.—(Great cheering.) He (Mr. Mowatt), for his part, considered him as the corner stone, the prop of the present Ministry. Indeed, he thought that it was Lord Palmerston alone who made it respectable, and gave it what little popularity it ens joyed.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Let them, then, support him by every means in their power. Let them petition on all hands and from all parts of the country; and their petitions, although on the subject of the oppressed Hungarians, would have the effect of backing him u p— o f strengt h en i ng h i s hands; an d l et them be assured that it is not the will to aid the good cause, but the power only that he wanted.—(Tremendous and prolonged cheering.) Now one word more on the petition, for at that very late hour he would not attempt to go into the subject generaol t l,lthough he should have been g lad ` c f an opportunity se— (C ries of "Hear, hear ;" "Go on.)

He begged, therefore, to move that the petition pro posed be adopted, and he hoped that it would be d one by acclamation.—(Great cheering.) Mr. Mowatt then added that, with reference to the seventy Hungarian soldiers now at Folkstone, and to whom allusion had been made, a committee had been formed to afford them the means as well of temporary support as to return to their own country ; and with a view of enabling , those present to show their sympathy for the cause prttottollY, THE LEGAL TITLE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

After the Demonstration in favour of the Hunga rians, which took place yesterday in the London Tavern, it is unnecessary to assert that the English multitude sympathise with that heroic race, and entertain the most profound sentiments of abhorrence for Austrian tyranny and Russian intervention. The meeting was a magnificent corroboration of the asser tion made in the House of Commons on Saturday by Lord PALMERSTON—to the effect that the population of these islands regard with unanimous feelings of delight the heroic struggle of the Mag yars. Yet numerous and enthusiastic as was the assemblage, and eloquent and earnest as were the speeches, it should be felt and remembered that those speeches were but the pulse of that meeting, and that that meeting was but one throb of that great heart of England which, accord ing to the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary, is beating with an unanimous impulse of admiration and gratitude for the Hungarians. It was with surprise and indignation that we heard the Honourable Gentleman the representati ve of the West Riding of Yorkshire .misrepresenting the speech of the Minister at the head of the Foreign Department, and eclaring with an gioluisny. ledgment that he himself was absent from the House during Saturday's discussion on an excursion of pleasure), that the Noble Viscount never once inti mated his regret at the invasion of the Hungarian dominions by the armies of northern despotism ; , whereas it was distinctly asserted by the Foreign Secretary that he observed the attacks upon Hun garian independence with psin, and that he, as an English administrator, was only waiting for a fitting opportunity to protest against the proceedings of the Governments of Vienna and St. Petersburgh. Gal lantly, generously, almost chivalrously did the Hon. Gentleman the Member for the county of Middlesex start forward—although the acknowledged and incessant antagonist of the Administration—to vindicate the Noble Minister for the Foreign De partment from the charges so unfairly and disin genuously made against him. We do not remember any misstatement more gross or flagrant than that attempted by Mr. COBDEN yesterday, nor any vin dication more gallant and complete than the vindication of Lord PALMERSTON, which im mediately followed in the indignant remarks of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE. After directly contradicting the assertion made by the Member for the West Riding as to the nature of the opinions ex pressed on Saturday by the Foreign Secretary, the Member for Middlesex observed, that he it was who had had the gratification of bringing forward the motion which elicited the manly declaration of his opinions from Lord PALMERSTON, and that it was a fine spectacle to see that distinguished statesman standing upon the floor of the House of Commons, addressing himself to the assembled Parliament of England in language that nobly became the lips of a British Minister. It was in a similar strain that the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Penryn and Falmouth proclaimed the necessity of the people so acting and so speaking—acting with such unanimity and speaking with such unanimity, as to unfetter the hands of the only man whose genius, integrity, and patriotism redeemed the character of the Government, and imparted to an otherwise worthless Cabinet the leaven of respectability. It is this circumstance which more than any other it is imperatively requisite, for the sake of liberality in England and of democratic freedom throughout Eu rope, should be borne in recollection by the population of the United Kingdom ; and we thank Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE for the manner in which, on Saturday, he intimated that fact within, and Mr. MOWATT for the manly distinctness with which he proclaimed it yes terday without, the walliof the Imperial Parliament. It is absolutely essential for the conservation of Eu ropean liberty, that the people of England should re cognise—and recognise betimes!—the truth that Lord PALMERSTON is the only real and energetic champion of freedom among the ranks of the ruling Administration—that his intentions are thwarted, his efforts crippled, and his remark able abilities contracted by the uncongenial labours, intellects, and aspirations of his timorous and vacil- lating colleagues. Let the English people perceive this indubitable fact before it be too late, before the intrigues of a,clique have triumphed in the expulsion of this great and patriotic statesman from a Cabinet, in condescending to lend his illustrious name to which he has hazarded the bloom of his reputation. Let the English people feel strongly, earnestly, and at once that if they only apply the due amount of " pressure," and articulate their views with sufficient distinctness, they will enable the Foreign Secretary to act according to the dictates of his noble heart and of his patriotic genius. A repetition of such demon strations as the one of yesterday, and Lord PALMER STON would be enabled to carry out his own policy in regard to our foreign relations in defiance of all the opposition of those organs of aristocracy, who, if they do not resemble the old woman of Syracuse, are still remarkable for their indications of " antiquated imbecility." One circumstance should not be overlooked in the extraordinary demonstration of yesterday in the Lon don Tavern, namely, that on the occasion of one of the supplementary speakers suggesting that in case of an emergency England should go to war for the purpose of maintaining the cause of Hungary, the whole of this immense meeting rose and responded to the call with one glorious roar of acclamation. Al though opposed as strongly as Mr. CoBDEN in principle to the system of foreign inter vention, we nevertheless conceive it to be only just to announce that incident in reporting at length the proceedings of the assemblage. It was, perhaps, the most remarkable indication of the enthusiasm for which the demonstration was conspicuous —an enthusiasm which greeted with shouts of admiration the names of the Heroic BEM and the Great LUDWIG Kos- SUTH. As an expression of English sympathy for Hungarian freedom the voice of this vast meeting in the capital of the British empire will be reverbe rated through the medium of the press to the camp of BEM, to the Council-chambers of KOSSUTH, to the camarilla of Austria, and to the Cabinet of the AUTOCRAT of all the Russian. It is one more step towards the consolidation of the nationality of the Magyars, and the first effort towards the emancipa tion of the policy of Lord PALMERSTON by the hands of that great people of whose gallant and chivalrous qualities he is a noble representative. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Prince of CANINO, the son of LUCIEN Bo- NIPART.I3, embarked on board a steamer at Havre on Saturday for Southampton. He was accompanied on board the steamer by a gendarme, who did not quit his side until the steamer was under way. His Highness was extremely indignant at the manner in which he was treated. MM. de Broglie, Thiers, Mol6, Berryer, Darn,' Fould, De Montalembert, Persigny, Pisca tory, and several other Members of the reactionary party have formed a club which has taken the title of "Association for the Propagation of Anti-So cialist Principles, and for the Amelioration of the Position of the Working Classes." It would appear from the programme as if this were intended as a bribery and treating committee, for the purpose of influencing elections. The apartments of the Duke of MONTPENSIER in the Castle of Vincennes have been fitted up for the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who intends to take up his residence there for a short time for the purpose of witnessing the artillery practice in the Polygon. It will be a somewhat curious sight to see Louts NA POLEON BONAPARTE and his Legitmatist Minister, M. DE FALLOUX, standing together at the place of the execution of the Duc D'ENGHIEN. The removal of Admiral BAUDIN from the com mand of the Mediterranean fleet had created great surprise at Toulon. The Government is preparing to send all the non commissioned officers in the army who are suspected of holding republican opinions to Algeria, as a punishment. M. CANTAGREL has succeeded in escaping to Brussels. The Government having issued orders for the ar rest of M. BUN, the commandant of the National Guards of Thurn, in the department of the Upper Rhine, the officers of the police were proceeding to put the order into execution, when the whole population of the town turned out in defence of M. BLIN lithe authorities thereupon had the rappel beaten, but the National Guard refused to aid in the arrest of the commandant, and M. &DI therefore remains at liberty.

The British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship, Hibernia, which left Now York on the 11th, reached the .Mersey early to-day. Sho brings advices by trlegrapla and express down to the following dates: —New York, July 11th; Boston, 11th; Baltimore, 10th; Philadelphia, 11th; Washington, 10th; Montreal, 9th; Mobile, 9th; New Orleans, 9th; St. Louis, 9th; Cin cinnati, 9th ; Quebec, Bth ; Charleston, 9th, Hali fax, 14th. Arrivals out—The British and North American steam-ship Canada, which was last heard of at Halifax, arrived at Boston a few days after, and the Niagara, belonging to the same line, which left Liverpool on the 30th of June, had put into Halifax on the 12th inst., and, after the usual detention, continued her voyage to New York. The advices from all parts regarding cholera state that it is on the increase. The disease was making terrible ' havoc amongst the Delaware and Shawnee Indians, and in almost every village along the banks of the Upper Mississippi. People were flying before it in all directions. The citizens of New York and the loading towns were fast leaving for the spas, cataracts, and mountain retreats. The dismissals and appointments in the Customs, Post office, and other departments, consequent on the change of President, still continue; but President 'raylor is not carrying out his alterations to anything like the extent of his predecessors. The effect of disunion in the great democratic parties in the State has been so apparent in the late Presidential election as to lead to a fusion of the barnburners and lo cofocos, who are about to coalesce. For this purpose " a Consulting Convention " will be held in Syracuse on the 15th August, preliminary to a general meeting in September. Slavery is a subject which will not be in cluded in their deliberations. Several elections to the House of Representatives take place during 1849, amongst these are—Rhode Island, 1 member ; Massachusetts, 1; Ohio, 1; Maryland, 6; North Carolina, 9; Alabama, 7; Louisiana, 4; Texas, 2; Mississippi, 4; Tenessee, 11; Kentucky, 10; Indiana, 10. The majority of these elections take place on or about the 6th August, but several do not come on till November. The Democrats expect these returns will give them a clear majority, in the House at Washington of 7, whilst the Whigs reckon upon a majority of 2. At present the relative numbers are—Locofocos, 72; Free Soilers, 10; Whigs, 83. It is said that Mr. Clay will give all his support to the Taylor party. That gentle man was expected in Washington the day previous to the departure of the Hibernia from New York. It is supposed some additional changes will be made in the personnel of the Administration. Some of the journals hint that the mission of Lieutenant Beale to California was to have Weller recalled, and Fremont substituted. Wilson, the celebrated Scotch vocalist, is dead. A most crowded demonstration had taken place on • the evening previous to the anniversary of American independence, in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, to welcome the celebrated temperance advocate. Amongst those who took a prominent part in the pro ceedings were Chancellor Walworth, the Rev. Dr. Cox, &c. Of the invitations sent to Father Mathew we notice some from Boston, New Orleans, Washington, and others from Canada. The excitement created by his arrival amongst the lower classes of the Irish almost borders on profanity. A kiss of the hand, a blessing, nay a touch of the garment, seemed, in the eyes of those deluded creatures, to impart some of those miraculous , gifts which one would imagine had departed with Prince Hohenlohe. In a few hours, on one day, not less than 20,000 people bad shaken him by the hand; and not the least conspicuous in their tokens of admiration are the ladies of New York. The influx of emigrants at Boston, and the other Eastern ports, from Ireland and the Continent of Eu rope, was said to be much larger than usual. Desertions from the United States army were becom ing very frequent latterly, and some severe measures to repress them were under consideration. Eulogies and orations (ceremonies almost unknown in this country, though very common in France), are being delivered on the life and public services of Presi dent Polk. Amongst the eulogies delivered, or to be delivered, are those by Judge Woodbury, at Boston ; the Hon. henry S. Foote, at Washington; and the Hon. James Buchanan, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A mass Convention was to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 13th of July, to celebrate the anniversary of the passage of the ordinance, prohibiting slavery in the North-Western territory. The President leaves the capital in August for the north, visiting amongst other places on his way, Balti more, Harrisburg, Bedford Springs, Pittsburg, Ohio, Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany, and Boston. On his return be will take New York and Philadelphia, arriving at Washington about the beginning of October. His visit is said to be for the benefit of his health, and also to make some agricultural observations, that being a sub ject on which he is a decided amateur. The grain crops, and more particularly that of wheat, have been suffering severely by the ravages of insects, and in many places the frost has done great in jury. According to a notification put forward previously, by General Sandford, at the request of the Sanitary Com i mittee of the Common C ounc il o f N ew Y ork, the usual • military display on the 4th July was dispensed with, but, save this, all the enthusiasm which usually accom panies the celebration was manifested. Several presentations of colours took place in front of the City Hall, and the great flag, which is about to be forwarded to Kossuth, the Hungarian liberator, occupied a prominent position in the proceedings. Processions, orations, fireworks, &c., were seen or heard on every side, whilst large numbers of the population set out on day excursions to the neighbourhood. Throughout the Union the day was kept a close holiday. Accounts from the Canadian provinces are much of the same character as those received by the last steamer. If anything, the agitation is on the increase, and fresh troubles had manifested themselves. The League is not inactive. From being confined to one or two large cities, it has now spread into every district, and each hamlet has its own branch, something similar to the lodges of the Orange confederacy in Ireland. The contemplated dissolution of the Orange Society in Canada turns out to be an invention of the Opposition. That loyal body, in number 45,000, are determined to increase their strength and unity of purpose, so as to make their influence tell on the future policy of the colo nial governors. The Canadian Reciprocity Bill, respect ing which Mr. Merritt has arrived in the States, is caus ing considerable attention in the provinces. There are no fresh accounts from Mexico, California, or Texas. COMMERCIAL NEWS. We have very little to notice regarding the state of business in general throughout the Union, the reports to hand being of a similar character to those we have received for some time past. If anything, the tone of the reports is more depressed, the heat of the weather and the spread of the prevailing distemper driving all the merchants from the cities and leading places of com merce. The money market at New York continues very easy. Specie was most abundant, and for all legitimate pur poses of business advances were obtainable at moderate rates, the rates of interest ranging from 4 to 5 per cent. Very contradictory statements are given regarding the amount of gold to hand from California, but one thing is certain that there is no want of that commodity for investment. The market for American securities presents on ani mated and busy appearance. The tenor of the advices brought over by the Canada, which left this port on the 23d ult., had led to considerable investment in the lead ing state stocks, and much firmness, as well as a buoyant spirit, characterised the business. - Breadstuffs—There was a fair business doing in bread stuffs, at firm prices. Cotton—The cotton market was active, and since the arrival out of the Canada's news, a large business was doing. _ Provisions—There was not a large business doing in provisions, the demand being chiefly for home consump tion and ships' stores. Prices are at about the same rates as last noted. Exchange—There was a good business done in ex change up to the departure of the Hibernia, the rates on London being 1081 to 109. DEATH OF THE CHAPLAIN OF THE TOWER FROM ASIATIC CHOLERA. Yesterday morning, at twenty minutes to two, the Rev. Charles Boughton St. George, clerk, and chaplain to St. Peter's, in the Tower fortress, died from an attack of Asiatic cholera, under the fol lowing very distressing circumstances:—lt appears that the reverend gentleman seemed in his usual health on Sunday morning last, and preached his usual sermon to a large congregation. His voice, which at all times was perfectly clear and loud, suddenly fell towards the con • elusion, and it became quite inaudible. After the ser mon was over he immediately went home to his parson age house, which adjoins the church, and was attacked with vomiting, purging, cramps, and all the other symp toms which are characteristic of an attack of Asiatic cholera. A surgeon was instantly called in, but the un fortunate gentleman gradually sunk, and died at the above mentioned time. The deceased was universally respected by all the officers and soldiers in the Tower, and:his loss will be felt for some considerable time. THE SOUTH - EASTERN RAILWAY AND MR. BROG• DEN.—Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Melina, Q.C., and Mr. Bally, attended yesterday afternoon before Vice-Chancellor Wigrani, to move for the committal of Mr. Brogden for contempt of court in not delivering up to the South- Eastern Railway Company the portion of the North Kent line executed by him, pursuant to his undertaking given last Monday in court, to deliver up the line on Saturday last at twelve o'clock, in whatever state it might be. Mr. Brogden's solicitor appeared without counsel, and after obk cting that Mr. Brogden had not been personally served on Saturday with the notice of motion, asked for time to answer the company's affi davits. The Vice-Chancellor was reluctantly induced to give him till ten o'clock this morning, the company, in the meantime to do all they can to serve Mr. Brogden personally with notice. The Masters have appointed Messrs. Birkbeck and Ernest official managers, to wind up the affairs of the Lancaster and Newcastle Railway; and Mr. Jay to wind up those of the Metropolitan Railways Junction. A SCHOLASTIC SINECURE.—The Blackburn Gram mar School must be rather a snug thing. "The present master, the Rev. J. Bennett," says the Preston Chronicle "has no scholars except his own two sons! No assistant, though he receives the same stipend as his predecessor, who had to pay three. Earl GreyrOturned to town yesterday from his resi dence at Ratchet. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (Tins DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following Bills were read a second time, snd ordered to be committed:— Tempest's Estate Bill. Theophilus Clive's Estate Bill. Wilson's (Saint Thomas' Church, Woolwich) Estate Bill. STANDING ORDER REVISION COMMITTEE. Mr. W. PATTEN, in m,,ving the adoption report, gave n o ti ce t h at ear l y next session he shou ld move that a date b e fi xe d b eyond which the House wilt not take the sec on d rea di ng o f any private Bill. After a brief dis cuss i on , t h e motion of the H e n. Member was agre e d to . of the SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. HaatnuEau, JULY 20.—The Hamburgh Borsen halle of the above date contains the important intel ligence of the Schleiwig-Holstein Diet having joined the Regency in refusing their consent to the tenor of the armistice lately concluded between Prussia and ,Denmark, and they have also pronounced their deter mination to continue the war upon their own account. Several envoys had already been dispatched to the different Southern German Courts, to solicit their aid in the expected struggle. The Danish squadron in the Baltic still continue a strict blockade of the dif ferent ports in that sea, and several Prussian coasters had, been captured by the steamer Hecla, off Swine munde, within these last few days. On the 17th a sharp eng agement took plac e i n t h e B ay of Kiel be tween several Holstein gun-boats, assisted by a s t e amer, and the Danish line-of-battl e ship, Skiold, in which several were wounded on both sides. COPENHAGEN, JULY 17'.—Count PLESSIN, for merly Ambassador at Berlin, has been sent on an extraordinary mission to his Majesty the King of SWEDEN and NORWAY, for the purpose of requesting his adhesion and co-operation in carrying out the principles of the armistice. It was positively asserted on the Hamburgh Bourse on the 18th, that Sweden is resolved to re main perfectly neutral' in the German and Danish affair, and has positively refused to permit Swedish troops to occupy the north of Schleswig. The ex penses incurred last year in giving succour to Den mark has not yet been reimbursed. They amount to no less than ten millions and a half dollars. The Swedish Government has applied for it repeatedly, but in a note recently sent in reply by the Danish Minister of Finance, that gentleman says that Den mark has not yet quite concluded a loan in E ng l an d. The official - list of the Minister of War of the killed and wounded on the Danish side at the battle of Fredericia is as follows :—Killed, 25 officers, 39 subalterns, and 194 privates ; wounded, 50 officers, 166 subalterns, and 1,266 privates. Total, killed, 253 ; wounded, 1,482 ; missing, 157. The Prince of SALsa-SALm, who, it will be remem bered, was severely wounded and taken prisoner by the Danes in the engagement at Aarhuus, at the end of May, has been exchanged for a Danish officer,who is extremely ill. On the 16th, no less than five Prussian coasting vessels were brought into the harbour of Copenhagen by the Danish frigate Hecla; they were taken at Swinemund, in the very face of the Prussian fleet, which looked on quite unconcernedly.—Hamburgh papers. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA . Letters from Bucharest of the 29th of June, an nounce the solemn installation of Ban BARDU STIR BEY as Prince of Wallachia. This event took place on the 28th. On the 27th his appointment was officially communicated by the Commissary of the Ottoman Porte, FUAD-EFFENDI, to the Caimakam, and Repre sentatives of the European Powers. The Imperial firman of instalment was read in the Cathedral, on which occasion all the diplomatic corps and civil au thorities were present. The PRINCE will proceed to Constantinople, there to be invested with the insignia of royalty, and the coronation will take place at Bu charest. ITALY. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 15th. At that date the city was beginning to re sume its usual appearance. A solemn Te Deum was sung in St. Peter's on the 15th, in honour of the re establishment of the authority of the Pope. General OUDINOT and the French troops were pre sent. The city was illuminated in the evening. M. DB CORCELLES was at Gaeta on the 15th. Several of the men of the Roman army bad enlisted in the French Foreign Legion, and would be sent to Algeria. GARIBALDI had entered the kingdom of Naples. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yester day, though sales to the extent of 7,000 bales were effected, including 1,500 for speculation and 500 for export; prices re mained without alteration.—Railway Share, were dull and prices had a downward tendency. Upon the state of the London dried fruit trade we take the following remarks from a letter of Messrs. Witherby and Hanson :—" The total quantity of currants received here this season to the 21st inst., has been, by ninety-five ships, 12,051 butts, 10,790 cansteds, 14,770 barrels, and about 2,000 cases, in all about 14,550 tons, against 12,200 tons during the whole of last season. The excess in the imports this season arises chiefly from a portion of the usual direct shipments to the German ports having been sent to London. It is expected that some of it will be soon wanted in Germany, but should our expectations in this respect not be fully realised, yet at the present rate of consumption, which, for obvious reasons, seems likely to be maintained for the remainder of the sea son, the stock of currants in London at the commence ment of the next season will not much exceed that which existed at the beginning of this season in September last. " The accounts of the crops of raisins both in Spain and in Turkey are satisfactory, but it is feared that prices in both countries will again open high. " The crop of Figs in Turkey is expected to be abundant, but later than usual, so that we are not likely to receive any quantity this year before October. " The accounts from Bordeaux confirm the late unfavour able reports of the forthcoming crop of Prance ; holders re quire 205., which has been for some time past the price at the outports." The Indigo sales closed last evening, and the result has been that 8,100 chests have found buyers, of which 5,500 are for export, and that good and fine shipping sorts have gone at par to 2d. per lb. decline, ord. and defective at 3d. per lb. advance, and the same with Madras and Kurpab. The stock of Tea in London on the 16th inst. was 34,755,000 lbs., being nearly 4,000,000 lbs. less than at the same time last year, although the imports have increased nearly 3,000,000 lbs. The Overland Mail from India has arrived with accounts from Calcutta and the other Presidencies. The import trade was not quite so active,°.and:there had been a slight decline in Manchester goods at Calcutta, but an improvement was ex pected upon the opening of the river navigation. In staples a good business seems to have been done. Money was easy, and, on the whole, there is no cause to doubt but that ;busi ness will gradually revive in India. The steamer Hibernia has arrived with late intelligence from the United States and Canada. The markets were steady at New York for the principal staples, but business generally was rather dull, the :hot weather and the preva lence of cholera having an injurious influence. Up to the hour of our writing the private letters have not been de. livered. The exchange on London continued very firm, at 1084 to 109. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders re ceived by the West Indian mail steamer further accounts from Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, their agents in Mexico, and they are of a favourable character. The sum advanced from the American indemnity money, for the use of the bondholders, 500,000 dolls, had been repaid to the Government from the produce of duties at Vera Cruz and Tampico; and up to the 31st May there were due by merchants a further amount of duties, of which the share apportionable to the interest on the foreign debt would be 220,476 dollars; and the July mail will probably bring 30,000 to 35,000 dollars thereof, the produce of the bills that will have fallen due in the meantime. The latest communication from Messrs. Manning is dated June 16. We have received likewise an interesting letter from Messrs. Schneider relative to the conduct of the Mexi can Government in depriving them of the agency, and we scarcely see what valid answer can be given to it. The Mexican Finance Minister asserts that Messrs. Schneider could have paid a full dividend on the amount of bonds con verted up to the period when the 93,7501. was handed over to them by Messrs. Barings. But surely this is begging the question, for, as the conversion was constantly going on, there would have been no money left under such a course of proceeding for the later applicants. About the agreement between the firm and the Government, as to al lowance of interest, and the necessity therefore of charging the same to the bondholders if only part of a dividend was paid, we are unable to say much until we have further ex planations from the other side, nor do we know what en gagements Messrs. Schneiders state that they must compel the Government to keep. Time will explain all. The directors of the Commercial Bank of London this day declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, after 'which there remained a balance of 2,596 i. 17s. ld., to be added to the Reserve Fund, increasing that fund to 20,0141. 19s. 9d.

CONSOLIDATION FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. _ _ On the motion for going into Committee upon this Bill , Mr. HUME called the attention of the House to the manner in which the estimates for prisons and convict services in Class 111. of the Miscellaneous Estimates were voted in one sum of 702,5231., instead of fourteen sums, as voted in 1847 and 1848, by which the usual separa tion of the expenses under the several heads of convicts at home and abroad, of superintendence of transportation , &c. will not be made, and the proper check and control be prevented. This he considered was a gross violation of the rules of the House, because it prevented the neces sary cheek and control to this particular account. He asked to have the vote divided, arid the different items entered, as much for the satisfaction of Members as for the audit and check which it would afterwards become. He did think the House had great ground 1 0 complain of this innovation. Sir G. GREY said, the reason why the estimate aP' peared in the present form was that in so framing it the Government were adopting the recommendation of the Committee on the Miscellaneous Estimates, who recom mended that the estimat e s h ou ld b e presented in a die' tinet and separate form, and, in accordance with what the Government beli eve d to b e the substance of that recommendation, the whole of the expenditure bad been brought under one view. Mr - . V. SMITH hoped the House would recur to the old system. M. HENLEY expressed himself to the same effect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inti' mated his intention of having the information more sub divided in future. Mr. HUIVIE expressed himself satisfied with that inti' mation from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the matter dropped. THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT. Mr. HORSMAN complained of a personal allusion having been made to him during the debate last night , by the Hon. Me m b er f or D ungarvon (Mr. Sheil), wi d e " was not justified either by the circumstances of the d,e" bate, or by anything that had f a lle n f rom him (81r. Horsman) during the debate.

THE CROPS IN THE WESTERN D IS TRICTI BRISTOL, JUL Y 23.—Th e wheat harvest will have generally commenced by the latter end of this or earl next week, and the prospects of the growing crops are most favourabl e . I n S omerset and the west of paged' with the ex c ep t i on of b eing thin on the wet clays, zsO where the dry weather, coming after the wet, h as been too much for the plant, the wheat is very promising. Ia the neighbourhood of Teignmouth the crops, both of corn and potatoes, are looking splendid. The barley crop in Wilts look promising, as is likewise the case 0 ° the best lands in Somerset. Oats are both good in 0 11 1 dition and forward, and the hay crops have seldom been more abundant. At thi s per i o d of the year we liar° generally, for a f ew years past, heard great complaints relative to the potato blight, but this year, w i t h here and there an occasional exception, the potatoes sre healthy and entirely free from disease. The reap" showers of rain have been of essential service to thesh and also to the peas, for which apprehensions were en tertained, owing to the lengthened continuance o f dry weather. The winter beans will be a large crop,, and the spring sown ones have not looked so well for yee o ' Mangoldwursel is a partial failure. ROYAL A RTILLERY. -- Captain Grant's troop Of Royal Horse Artillery is placed under orders to march from head-quarters at Woolwich, to Leeds, on the 30th inst., to relieve Captain Lake's troop; and the latter will move to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to relieve Captain Gilbert's troop at that station. Captain Gilbert's troop proceeds to Dublin to relieve Captain Dupuis' troop, or dered to return to' head -quarters at Woolwich. As the troops will march by easy stages the relief from Wool wich to Leeds will occupy ten days, from Leeds to New castle seven days, and it will be upwards of a month from the depart ure o f t h e troop from Woolwich un til the return of the other from Dublin. It is intended to increase the strength of the Royal Horse Artillery 13. c& year by adding two additional guns to each troop of tha seven at present formed, which will enable the authori ties to retain two troo to ps at head -quarter s , having thee six guns each, equal the three troops now stationed at Woolwich; and keep up the strength of one troop at. Leeds, one troop at N ewcast l e-upon-Tyne, one troop a " Dublin, and one troop at Limerick. The spare troop, when the augmentation is made, is expected to be sta tioned at Brighton, or near that part of the coast. CnEatonius GA RDENS. —Yesterday a series of fete s in aid of the funds by which the school of the Lictaied Victuallers is supported was commenced at these gar dens, and although the weather in the early part of the day was unpropitious a very numerous company wa s assembled later in the evening. The ascents of Mr' Gale in the balloon were postponed till to-day and to morrow, on both of which days he will take his aerial flights, and display his peculiar properties of ascending and de' scending on a rope-ladder, &c.

GRAND TRUNK AND STAFFORD AND P ETER no• ROUGII RAILWAY.--Yesterday the Master in Chan cery, Brougham, having gone through the list of original subscribers to this scheme, issued his order in Chancery for a levy or pro rata contribution, under the powers of the Act, of ss. per share, to pay off the outstanding debts of the concern. This order applies to the larger proportion of five hundred original allottees, and to 16,685 shares ; but as a large number cannot be got at, the letters of application in many instances having been returned with endorsements of " not known, dead, or gone away," the probability is that not more than one half the amount will be realised. The official manager still retains instructions to trace out all not forthcoming parties. At the next meeting all who accepted shares by paying deposit and taking scrip, are summoned to attend. The cases of the provisional committee, who had shares allott e d w ith out app l y i ng, and paid no depo sit, but sums by the way of compensation, to get rid of liability, remain to be investigated, to see whether they can be fixed. It is also to be determined whether the suit now pending against the secretary of the company, fur forging 1,5121. worth of scrip, and against the di rectors for breach of trust, shall be proceeded with. The pro rata contribution of ss. per share applies to all those parties who, having signed the deed, afterwards received back 235. 6d. return out of a deposit of 21.25., and sur rendered their scrip.
