LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1849. Yesterday, on the occasion of the prorogation of Parliament, it was impossible for any reflective observers not to be struck with two very remarkable, and not less melancholy than remarkable, circum stances in regard to the character of the session and in reference to the policy of the Government. As to the session which has just terminated—the fact is sufficiently apparent that, with the exception of a few ameliorative measures for Ireland, nothing whatever of importance has been accomplished in the way of wholesome legislation beyond the abrogating of the laws relating to Navigation. As to the Government —perhaps the most lamentable as well as the most prominent of all its evil characteristics is that of its detestable system of temporizing in all matters bearing upon our foreign relations. Wherever a continental nation is given over to the cruelties of a despotic a dministration —there the Russell Cabinet begins to temporize. Whenever a city is bombarded by the soldiers of reaction—that Cabinet begins to temporize. It temporizes, in short, wherever and whenever the principles of democracy and of aristocracy are in open antagonism : it temporizes wherever and whenever the revolution and the counter-revolution are in open arms opposed to each other : it temporizes wherever and whenever the influence of the formidable tyrants of the North are directed to the destruction of liberty, to the violation of immemorial rights, to the spoliation and desolation of countries struggling to maintain their indepen dence. Nay, the policy of the present advisers of the SOVEREIGN is not only so far reprehensible, but in every instance, where such can be accomplished without peril, (0 shame to the so-called manliness of British statesmanship !) it interposes for the suppres sion of popular freedom among our neighbours, and for the advocacy of family ties and dynastic interests. Take as a proof of this the infamous interposition of the English Cabinet in the affairs of Portugal—an interpoition which led to the conquest of patriotism and to the concentration of supreme authority in the hands of the degenerate daughter of the BRAGANZIS. One pernicious con sequence of that shameless support of the reactionary principles ht - s latterly become more than ever con spicuous in the re•elevation to the Presidency of the Council of Administrators at Lisbon of that heart less adventurer COSTA CABRAL, the infamous Count pE TROMAR. In speaking thus we are drawing no inference directly or indirectly prejudical to the character of Lord PALMERSTON. On the contrary, we presume it to be sufficiently well known that we regard the position occupied by that distinguished nobleman, as contrasted with that of his colleagues, as one eminently honourable to himself—that position, namely, in which he has been acknowledged (both within and without the walls of Parliament) to stand, n emely, as the solitary states man imparting respectability by his presence to an otherwise wort hless Administration. As such Lord PALMERSTON is recognised, both at home and abroad. As such he has entitled himself, in a particular manner, to our respect and admiration. What we would especially, however, impress upon the consciousness of the multitude, in allusion to otheperni c i ous f ore i gn p o licy of the Russell Government in this—that Lord PALMERSTON stands so wholly isolated in the Cabinet as to be incapaci tated from following out his own views, from obey ing the dictates of his own enlightened of hisownne , judgment, awl from yielding to the poEn g enerous nd chivalric dibposition. ll most et. t nest wishes are thwart A, all his more all hisnoble re efforts are annulled, and when disposed to aid the conso lidation of the liberties of a foreign race, like the Italians , he is accused of s y m p athi s i ng with such expeditions as that of Ri:2luons Tout, in certain flagrant attempts at Pro pagandism. That is the position of Lord Pan maasTos in regard to the Government. The truth is glaring, moreover, in the ver y recognition of his embarrassment—Lord PALMERSTON requires the sup port of the people of England. When he has ac quired a full conviction that the population of this country is with him (as we believe it to be, most profoundly), he will then at length be enabled to carry out his own liberal projects for the prevention of the atrocities of despotism, for the vindication of the rights and liberties of such an illustrious race as the Hungarians, and by the vindication of those rights and liberties for the preservation of the dignity, the honour, and the interests of the United Kingdom. In testimony of the systematic manner in which Lord PALMERSTON is crippled in all his endeavours, look at the silence preserved in the Royal Speech as to the extraordinary events now transpiring within the boundaries of Hungary. Not a syllable of allusion to the attack made by an infamous coalition of despots against the sacred prerogatives of the nationality of the Magyars 1 Not a word about the faithlessness of the Austrian Government ! Not the faintest reference to the interposition of the Russian AUTOCRAT ! Now, does any man, not wholly bereft of his senses, assert that the mean and contemptible evasion of the most momentous of all questions at the present epoch is attributable, in the smallest degree, to the dictation of the Foreign Secretary ? Compare the bold and noble-spirited speech delivered by Lord PALMERSTON, not many days ago, in answer to the Member for Middlesex, compare that memorable speech, so befitting the lips of a British Statesman, with this total blinking of the difficulty in the Royal Speech, read yesterday by Commission! Compare the silence of that document, emanating from the Cabinet collectively, with the declaration made only last evening by Lord PALMERSTON imme diately before th e prorogat i on of Parliament—the declaration that he viewed with pain the horrible proclamation recently issued to the inhabitants of Buda-Pesth by the Austrian General HAYNA LT. That acknowledgment was elicited from the Foreign Secretary by an inquiry put to him by the Noble Lord the Representative of Aylesbury. Indeed it is altogether impossible not to recognise that the proud and gallant spirit of the only Liberal statesman in the Government is struggling impatiently under the thraldom of his Ministerial isolation. We wish Lord PALMERSTON could have witnessed the enthusiasm with which his name was greeted the other morning at the London Tavern, on the occasion of the Hungarian Demonstration—he nave dication, that, isolated am isolated among his t colleagues, masses f h of is far from s a c w o i u th ntr ie y a m io e uy ns; and h from being his his tat so far consistency, his courage, patriotism are viewed with respect and confidence throughout England. While the interests of Hungary—and in the interests of Hungary the interests also of England— are overlooked by the Russell Cabinet, the heroic Magyars have, thanks be to GOD, gained a succes sion of victories over their two gigantic assailants. The news of these remarkable triumphs ar riving simultaneously with the intelligence from Vienna, to the effect that the speech of Lord PAL MERSTON has fallen " like a thunder• clap" upon the Austrian Government, confirms all those im pressions to which we have repeatedly given utterance—namely, that the Hungarians, al though opposed by a double army, charac terised by an appalling disparity of numbers, is, nevertheless, in anything but a perilous, or rather, we should say, a de4perate position. Recent events have revealed the accuracy of all this beyond denial. Not only in the south, but also in the north, the Magyar arms have been victorious. Not only under the glorious BEM, but under the daring patriotism of GEORG EY and the military genius of DEMBINSKI, the tactics of the Hungarians have been everywhere successful, and the force of Ilungarian valour everywhere resist less. From the latest accounts it will be observed that, after outwitting PASZIEWITC on the 16th ultimo, near Waitzen, GEORGEY conducted his forces northwards defeated the Russians again most signally in the vicinity of Jaszo, entered Kaschau on the 22d, after compelling the Cossack garrison to fly in dismay from the mere terror of his approach, and to seek shelter at St. Mis kolcz—and having so far prospered in his advance, is now marching towards the Theiss for the purpose of crossing that river at Tokay and Tarzal. While, therefore, BEM is threatening to raise the siege of Venice by crossing Illyria, GEORGE' is opening communications with Gallicia, now ripe for a revolt. Such is the progress of the cause of justice in Hungary while the Cabinet of England preserves the ignoble silence of apathy. Lord PALMERSTON is meanwhile looking to his countrymen for that moral encouragement on their part which w ill enable him to speak out with out any reservation, to speak not only with the " thunder-claps" of his own individual displeasure, but with the lightnings of the indignation of Eng land. Let the people articulate their unanimous aspirations at once, and they will find Lord PALMERS. TON true to his reputation and faithful to the in , tereits and the glory of his country. the welfare and prosperity of the colony to remain in abeyance until Parliament should re-assemble. No disposition was manifested on the part of Government to afford that assistance to the Committee which they had a just right to expect; no assurance would be given that the required information should be forth coming at the beginning of next session. Under these circumstances, the Committee decided on recommend ing that the prayer of the colonists should be granted, and that "her MAJESTY should be graciously pleased to appoint a Commission, to inquire on the spot, into the means taken for the repression of the late insur rection at Ceylon." Mr. BAILLIE, as Chairman, brought forward the motion, in accordance with the resolution of the Committee, which was seconded by the veteran JOSEPH HUME, who had been one of its most zealous and active members, and supported by Mr. DISRAELI, Lord HOTIIANI, and others, of every shade of political opinion, who, having heard the evidence already given, were acquainted with the circumstances of the case. It might have beeen reasonably expected that the House would have supported its own Committee, who had devoted so much time and labour to the painful investigation, and who, if they had been mis taken, had erred on the side of mercy, that is, of mercy to the accused Governor, although it might prove the reverse to the aggrieved Ciagalese. It was, however, otherwise. The Government opposed the motion with all their strength, and, of course, an obedient majority supported their decision. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, although he did not enter into any justification of his relative's conduct, or even allude to the gross negligence of which he had been guilty in omitting to send home the ne cessary information, spoke of the " inquisitorial'' conduct of the Committee "in calling for acts of condemnation without evidence," and asserted " tha it was asking the House to assent blindly to a par cular course, the Committee refusing to produce the evidence upon which they recommended that course." A more unjust or unwarranted imputation, we ven ture to say, was never cast upon a body of gentlemen —a more unfair charge was never preferred. Lord Jonx RUSSELL might desire to screen his cousin from the consequences of his own con laic% having closely investigated the transactions, thought that a prima facie case was made out against him. The power of the Government was exerted to prevent the publication of that evidence, when sug gested by the Honourable Member for Montrose. It was said that its appearance would be deeply in jurious to Lord TORRINGTON, who had no opportu nity afforded to him of rebutting the serious accusa tions and charges preferred against him, and when that appeal was successful, and the evidence was withheld, then, forsooth, it was declared that they were " asking the House to assent blindly to a particular course—they REFUSING (! !) to produce the evidence upon which they recommended it," and, also, that they " proceeded, like the inquisitors of Spain and Venice, calling for acts of condemnation without evidence." These are serious charges, gravely put forward, but we doubt not the members of the Committee will be prepared to justify them selves at the fitting time and place. The termination of the investigation will satisfy the most sceptical that they were not acting with undue severity when they recommended that a Commission should be sent to Ceylon to inquire on the spot into the means taken for the repression of the late insurrection. There are, unfortunately, but too many prominent proofs of misgovernment. The safety of the colony demanded the inquiry, but it was refused because the accused was a nobleman of high rank and aristocratic con nexions. A different degree of justice is clearly meted out to rich and poor. If an humble man is accused of some paltry offence, of little public im portance, he is incarcerated without mercy ; bail is perhaps refused, but little consideration exhibited for his character or feelings. But if the offender be an aristocrat—if his crimes involve the happiness of millions, and shake the allegiance of an entire nation—then, indeed, it is inquisito rial to put him on his trial on mere suspicion ; it is unjust to bring forward a prima facie charge, and he must still be permitted to exercise the powers he has abused without let, hindrance, or restriction. If this, indeed, be the colonial policy of Great Britain, the sooner a great and comprehensive change be introduced the better. Our attention has been called to an expression con tained in our leading article of yesterday, in which we unwittingly misrepresented the remarks made by Mr. COBDEN on the noonqinn of the first Hun garian Demonstration. We hasten with all cordiality and earnestness to make the amende ho norable—being in no degree solicitous to distort the assertions of the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire. Quoting from the speech deli vered by the Honourable Gentleman in the London Tavern, and quoting that speech entirely " from recollection," we made him say, inadvertently, of Russia, that it has " an army on paper without a soldier," instead of an army on paper without a com missariat." In justice to Mr. COBDEN, we are anxious that that erroneous phrase should be attributed exclusively to a deceptive memory in a moment of mental agitation, and not to any deliberate foolish ness on the Honourable Gentleman himself. It is true, we might aver that the declaration which Mr. COBDEN did make in regard to the maritime force of Russia, namely, that it had " a navy without a sailor"—is equally open to a charge of exaggeration; but our sole object at present is to correct an inadvertant error of phraseology, being upon all occasions desirous to follow the recom mendation of Othello—" Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice !" A very important question was on Saturday brought under the consideration of the House of Commons, respecting a colony which, by judicious and conciliatory policy, might be rendered one of the most valuable possessions of the British empire. A Select Committee had been appointed during the session to inquire into the events which had recently occurred at Ceylon, of which Mr. BAILLIE was appointed chairman. That Committee had proceeded zealously and energetically to discharge the important duties confided to their hands. Many witnesses had been ex amined, but, unfortunately, there was a deficiency of authentic evidence. That deficiency was occa sioned by the gross and unwarrantable negligence of the Government of Ceylon, which had omitted to forward to the Colonial-office the minutes of the Le gislative Council for the last twelve months, although the express instructions to the Governor were that these minutes should be transmitted every six months to this country. The military authorities had also omitted to send over minutes of the proceedings of the court-martial recently held in the colony, although these proceedings were of the utmost importance, many of the natives having been sentenced to the most strin gent punishments. No less than eighteen persons had been actually executed, while many others were transported or flogged, exclusive of those who were subjected to minor penalties. These omissions were the more inexcusable, because the conduct of the Governor had been directly implicated, and grave charges had been preferred against him, which it was his duty, not only as a public officer, but as a nobleman and a gentleman, to have met fully and fairly, and for that purpose, to have placed all the requisite information before the Colonial-office and the Committee. Through his wilful default or gross negligence, the necessary evidence was not forthcoming, no explanations were given of the causes that led to the suspension of the ordinary law of the colony, and the establishment cf martial law in its place. On this most important point, on which, in fact, the justification of the Gover nor altogether depended, the Committee were left wholly in the dark, and that ignorance was altogether owing to the culpable negligence of the party ac cused, to his direct breach of the instructions de- THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Legislative Assembly met on Tuesday, but no business of importance was transacted. The PRESIDENT continues his tour in the eastern departments. The National, in describing his pro gress, says—" The reception of the PRESIDENT at Angers isin some sort a protest against the various rumours of coups d'etat lately circulated. The Garde National, the artillery, and the inhabitants appeared to have given each other the word to salute the PRE SIDENT with cries of • Vive la Republique.' Great annoyance was felt," continues the National, "at this obstinacy to proclaim the Republic, particularly as more personal cries were looked for. The Legiti mists have made default everywhere, and similar demonstrations were expected at Nantes." At Nantes he was received with cries of " Vive NAPOLEON !" and " Vive l'Empereur!" It is said that M. LACROSSE, the Minister of Public Works, who accompanies the PRESIDENT, has been indefati gable in his endeavours to get up the cry of " Vive NAPOLEON ! ' and that his colleagues, MM. ODILON BARROT and DDFAURE, who remain in Paris, have expressed themselves much annoyed by his conduct. It is announced that the PRESIDENT of the Republic will assist at the opening of the section of the Paris and Strasburg Railroad between Meaux and Epernay, on the 16th instant. The Paris to Rouen Railway Company held its half-yearly general sitting yesterday. The receipts amounted, from January 1 to June 30, 1849, to 3,595,354 E, and the expenses to 2,541,994 f., leaving a balance of 1,053,360 f., which :gives a dividend of 12f. 50c. per share for the half-year. The accounts were approved of, the report passed, and M. DE KERSAINT and WILLIAM CHAPLIN, the outgoing di rectors, re-elected unanimously. The intended mo dificatious relative to the mode of effecting the sinking fund could not be discussed, in consequence of 36,000 shares not being represented by the persons present. vered to him, when appointed to act as the repre sentative of his Sovereign, and entrusted with the most extensive powers. Whatever, therefore, might have been the personal consequences of his neglect, he could only blame himself, and could not justly complain of others for any censure that might be cast upon him. The Committee, however, exhibited the utmost leniency towards him. Not only did they refuse to condemn him on insufficient grounds, but they even refused to publish the evi dence that had been taken, which made out a prima facie case against him. They desired to give his Lordship an opportunity of being heard in his own defence ; that all the proceedings might be given to the world simultaneously, lest his Lordship's cha racter might be prejudiced, or his feelings hurt by partial publication. While, however, this great in dulgence was exhibited towards the Governor, some thing was due to the colonists who had urgently demanded a strict investigation into all the circum stances of the case, and who prayed that the inquiry sh i o g u h l t d betake broughtplaee f a o t wa r d Ceylon, w h which order could thatnot easilyevid e evidence made available in this country. There were many reasons why this reasonable request should be conceded. Parliament was about to be prorogued, and nothing could be done by the Committ ee during the recess !

HE SUN, LONDON, THUltgllr EYE GER.MNY AN THE NOltTli [Ai STATES AUSTRIA ANI[UNGARY. The Austrian General HAu issued the following diabolical proclamations, on 20th and the 24th ult., before leaving Pesth : " In my prc2lamation of yeJay are indicated those infractions of the laws es t a bli , by the state of s i ege, which are referred to th e ;d i ct i on o f t h e court martial. In the present thotovisions are laid down which appear necessary for maintenance of tran quillity and order in these c, so deeply shaken in their moral foundations by taitrigues of the rebel lious faction. 1. All inhabits of both cities are to deliver up within the space orty-eight hours, at the arsenal of Buda, all arms ammunition of whatever sort in their possession. Tmunicipalities of both cities are to appoint a respon e committee of respect able inhabitants for each diet, which, from the day after the expiration of the abi term, is to proceed, in the company of military ind;uals, to search all the houses, to seize and deliver all the arms found, and to arrest the conceal ; who, upon being convicted of the fact by coutnartial are immediately to be shot. in an uninhabiteo unlet house the sentence , 1 of death is to be inflicted on M ouse -i ns p ec t or , or h ouse - 1 corners, it being the duty of sh persons to visit their houses. 2. For the maintenas of order in the streets and public places no group of )re than ten persons will be suffered. The military p tols Luve orders to fire immediately upon such gro ut t h at d o not di sperse at the first challenge. 3. Meetiis of political clubs are strictly forbidden, under pain f trial by court-martial. 4. Amenable to the same juriscticn are all those who keep taverns open alter nine, eines and cafés after ten at night; who without perrnissm of the commander of the city post up placards, sell fi n is or pamphlets in the streets, or give such to other s i t ii str ib ut i on , or ex p ose portraits or busts of persons inphiated in the rebellion. 5. Lastly, such as presume to weir the uniform of the national guard which demonstra t e its rebellious spirit, or, as was mentioned in yestertays proclamation, wear badges of the Magyar Republic it tri-coloured ribbons, red plumes, and so forth, eithe in their hats, or any where else, will be, without father ceremony, tried by court-martial and shot." "To THE INHABITANTS 0. BUDA AND PESTH.— Scarcely arrived within your valls, I quit them again with the greater part of the trops, in order to advance with our victorious arms furher to the pursuit and destruction of the rebellious enemy. Ido not, however, depart without expressing that expectation which I de cidedly entertain with regard to your behaviour, and the disappointment of which will be followed infallibly ' n rei by the rub tfiuG puleres/ proclamations of th e 19 t h an d 20t h w i ll b e observed etas. I expect that you order in both th e c i t i es . by you as strictly as if you were urged continually thereto. " I expect, finally, that during my absence you will touch not a hair of one of my officers or soldiers that stay behind, nor of those of the brave army in alliance with us for the holy end of re establishing order. If you heed not my warnings —if even a part of you should venture, with auda cious insolence, to transgress my orders, then annihila tion will be your lot. Then, making all pay for one and one for all, will I regard your lives and properties as for • feit, in atonement for your crimes. Your fair city, in habitants of Pesth, which is now partially touched with the traces of just punishment, will then be reduced to a heap of ashes, a monument of your treason, and of its castigation. Believe me that I am a man of my word, whether to punish transgression or to reward merit. The disloyal inhabitants of Brescia who, like yourselves, repeatedly deceived by the ringleaders of the insur rection, set about fresh treason, may serve as an in stance whether rebels have to expect any indulgence from me. Reflect upon the chastisement which visited that city, and beware lest, by neglecting my warn ings, you force me to inflict the same upon you.— Pesth, July 24." Intelligence was received at Vienna on the 28th of the defeat of the Russians at Jaszo by GEORGY, to whom the fortress of Kaschau immediately after wards surrendered, and who had crossed the Theiss and effected his junction with DEMBINSKI. He en tered Kaschan on the 22d ult. It appears that after giving PASKIEWITCII the slip on the night of the 16th, GEORGEY marched, by the Neograd road, northward of the Tatra mountains. Reaching at Balassa Gyarmath the valley of the Ipoly, he continued his march by the broad easy road which runs along this river to Losoncz, and from thence gained Rima Szombath. GEORGE; having baffled RUDIGER'S pursuit, proceeded from Rima Szombath to Rosenau. He first met the Russian out post of the north at Jaszo, and in this neighbourhood he gained a complete victory over a strong corps. The Russian garrison at Kaschau was struck with consternation at the sudden appearance of an Hun garian army. The new burgomaster and the war committee there established fled to St. Miskolez. The garrison dropped all thoughts of defence, and the Magyars entered without opposition. Ka sc h au , in a strategic point of view is a highly important place. On this account it was fortified by PASKlE wrrcn, and made the head depot of the commissariat supplies from Poland and Gallicia. From Kaschau, GnonGEy 'marched towards the Theiss, which he was to cross at Tokay and Tarsal. The Russian detach ments left on the other bank are irretrievably lost. The Theiss is, as in the past winter, the line of operations. The road to Gallicia lies open on one side, and communications are established on the other Terneswar is reported to have surrendered to the ars. PRUSSIA. Not a single merchant, manufacturer, or trader has been returned to the Prussian Chambers. The Chambers assemble on the 7th of August, and there is to be no speech from the throne, and will be con sequently no address. M. SCIILEINITZ has been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Board of Trade of Stettin have petitioned the Minister of Commerce to take steps for obtaining immediate permission for vessels to pass to and fro. The Minister, in his reply, of the 25th instant, says —" That the raising of the blockade is dependent upon the confederate troops fulfilling the third section of the Convention, and that there is no reason to believe that this fulfilment will meet with the slightest obstacle ; that, as regards the demand for the free passage of neutral vessels in England or other parts, having cargoes on board, most of which are English, the necessary steps have been taken (to obtain this permission) at Copenhagen." BAVARIA. The official journal of Bavaria, the Muncher Zei lung, contains the following on the relations between Bavaria, Prussia, and Austria : " The principal obstacle to a satisfactory solution of the problem of the German Constitution lying in the re lative positions of Austria and Prussia, it has been and continues to be, the duty and interest of Bavaria to avert the impending breach between these powers. The most immediate source of danger is the possibility that Prussia may refuse to acknowledge the central authority any longer, and endeavour to take its place. This would not only, de facto, dissolve the Germanic Confederation, but expose Germany to the risk of foreign interference in the settlement of its Constitution, for the treaties of 1815 are the groundwork of the existing European system. Such being the case, the first object to be aimed at is a general agreement respecting an interim central authority to be substituted for that which at present exists—of course with its consent. The in terchange of diplomatic notes between the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, which has been in active progress during the ,last few weeks, has rather tended to divert attention from this object than to accelerate its attain , ment. To counteract this tendency, personal interviews have taken place at Berlin between the envoys of Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, in the course of which the follow ing proposals were submitted on the part of Austria:— Austria and Prussia shall immediately undertake the direction of the affairs of Germany, leaving it optional to the remaining German powers either to concur in the election of a third member of the central authority, or to delegate full authority to the two great Powers for a limited period. Prussia shall choose whether it will appoint a Prince of the Royal House or a Minister to act for it; and Austria will follow the example of Prussia. Finally, Prussia shall have the choice of the locality which is to be the seat of this pro visional Central Government. The Bavarian Minister, authorised by his Court, deelared the assent of Bavaria to these proposals, and renounced on its behalf any claim to take part in the Central Government, or in the elec tion of a third member. But Prussia declined to enter into the proposed arrangement. Prussia went so far as even to refuse an explicit answer to the proposals till such time as Au s t r i a should declare in express terms that it recognised the establishment of the Berlin draft of a constitution for the whole of Germany as compatible with the treaties of union of 1815. Such a declara tion Austria did not give, and could not give, for s uc h a declaration wou l d have been equivalent to its entire separation from Germany, and the dissolution of the Germanic confederation, Consequently the oral delibe rations,on this quest i on remained—assuredly through no fault of Bavaria —without results, and Prussia intimated its determination to renew the interchange of diplomatic notes. Germany therefore, at this moment, has no lon ger an efficient centre o f ac ti on; f or P russ i a no longer recognises the authority of the central power, and makes the substitut ion o f a new one in its place, dependent upon impossible conditions. Bavaria did not insist by any means that the rest of Germany should put a stop to the work of completing its constitution till Austria was in a condition to take part in it ; but Bavaria felt it to be its duty to insist that the future participati,n of Austria in the work should not be rendered impossible, or Austria be finally separated from Germany. It was the more necessary to assume a firm attitude of resistance on these points, as those provisoes of the Berlin draft of a Constitution, which go to separate Austria from Germany, afford good grounds to Bavaria itself of grave apprehensions. On this account confidential negotiations were cow. menced at Berlin, with a view to obtain modifications of the projected Constitution, without the concession of which Bavaria could not concur in recommending it to the Diet. Hopes have been held out that many of these modifications will be conceded, but the most important among them are not of this number. While on the one hand Bavaria is of opinion that sufficient security for NING, AUGUST 9, 11349. the efficient exercise of executive authority will be afforded, by conferring upon Prussia the Presidency of the College of Princes, and the power of carrying their resolutions into effect ; Prussia, on the other hand, insist that the King of Prussia for the time being shall be recognized as the Imperial Head (Reichs-vorstand) of the College of Princes (in which Prussia is besides to be represented by a delegate like the other states), and be invested with authority to conduct all negotiations with foreign states, to decide upon peace and war, to take measures for maintaining the internal tranquillity and order of the confederation, and to have the sole command of its armies. Further, while Bavaria con siders it essential to the prosperity of its subjects that regulations respecting the acquisition of the rights of citizenship and the protection of domestic industry shall be left to the Bavarian Legislature, Prussia insists that these matters shall be regulated by the Imperial Diet, in which the Bavarian delegates, as it isi well known, are only a minority." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of iJotton at Liv,rpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000, chitfly Ame rican, were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export. The market was firm. The transactions comprised 6,500 American, at W. to 54d.; 250 Pernams, at 5-id. to 54d.; 600 Egyptian, at sid to 6,-1-d; and 300 Surat, at 30. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull. There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter with news of special interest. The accounts this morning received from the manu facturing districts in review of last month's opera tions are exceedingly favourable, for it is stated by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, that an immense business has been done on the whole. They further observe that, "owing to the excited state of the cotton market, and the gradually enhanced value of that article from speculative operations mainly, business here, until ten days ago, was characterised by great activity and much excitement. Since then a much less animate d feeling has been everywhere perceptible, accompanied with a very general in disposition on the part of buyers to operate at the prevailing rates, unless for immediate wants. Still the aggregate transactions are as before indicated. Prices of certain descriptions of cloth particularly, have, as you will have noticed, again materially advanced, and are much higher in many instances than they were even during the month of January last; but even with the advance, certain descrip tions of spinners and manufacturers are now ac tually in a worse position. We refer more particularly to the spinners of water twist, and to the manufacturers of certain descriptions of domestics, T, and long cloths, &c., whose capital can bo anything but profitably em ployed. It has been reported in many circles that the Bank of England would to-day reduce its minimum rate of dis count, the immense accumulation of specie, and the more favourable aspect of foreign affairs strengthening the impression even in Lombard-street. The Newry and Enniskillen Company have decided to wind up. Consols are flat still. They have been 924 4 for transfer, and 92i s for account. Exchequer-bills are 48s. to 51s. premium.

AMSTERDAM, JULY 31.—The inland funds were again at a depreciation this morning, and no transac tions were carried on, on an extensive scale. The state of the foreign funds, on the contrary, was im proved, except French stock, which was stationary; the - Mexican funds were steady.—Amsterdair Cou rant, Aug. l. THE HAGUE, Auo. I.—According to the official re ports just published respecting the progress of the cholera, it appears that in the city of Amsterdam the number of cases that have been reported since the sth of June (on which day it reappeared there) is 2,141 ; of these 1,367 proved fatal, 711 recovered, and 63 remained under treatment. At Dordrecht 66 fresh cases occurred on the 30th, and 79 persons died. On the whole, the cholera is of a more malignant character than at the period of its former appearance at the Hague, and the patients, after a severe attack, which frequently continues only a few hours sk into a state of collap se f ro m which it is impossible for them to rally. Very many of the Jews have died of it, and the spirit that is manifested by the Israelites cannot be too highly commended, and held up for imitation by their Christian brethren. They have daily prayers at noon in all their synagogues, that the ALMIGHTY will remove the scourge under which the land is now suffering. They likewise manifest the most active benevolence ; large collections are made in money for the families of those who have died, and contributions of bedding, wearing apparel, &c. &c., are sent in to a committee specially ap pointed.

Great fear was entertained at Rome that the Papal Government would not recog nise the paper of the Republic.

The Grand Concert Room at her Majesty's Theatre was crowded yesterday morning. It was the only morning concert of the season in which Madame Sontag would sing, and she was to sing in fourdifferent languages. Her first song was in Italian, "La Zingara," and had been composed expressly for her by Donizetti. This song is, perhaps, the most florid of the most florid sch oo l, an d gave Madame Sontag an opportunity of exhibiting her marvellous facility of execution, of which she knew well how to avail herself. Then came the magnificent scena from Der Freischuiz, "%Vie nachte mie der Schlummer," which was given with great dramatic effect. She next sung Haydn's " With verdure clad," taking it much slower than usual and infusing into it a simplicity of expresion which was full of devotional feeling. We have never before heard this exquisite composition of Haydn so beautifully and so judiciously rendered. Her last song was the far tamed, " Oh, Robert oh! toi que faime" from Robert le Diable, to which she gave all the charm of novelty by the exquisite management of her voice, She was rapturously applauded throughout. Thal berg performed two magnificent fantasias from Lucrezia Borgia and the Sonnambula, and Milks. Parodi, Giuliani, and Casaloni; Signori Gardoni, Cal zolari, Moriani, Coletti, Belletti, Lablache, and F. Lablache gave their valuable assistance in a miscel laneous selection from the most approved pieces of the modern Italian operatic repertory. The overtures to the Zauberflote and Preciosa were admirably per formed by the orchestra, under the able direction of Balfe, who accompanied many of the vocal perform ances on the pianoforte with exquisite. taste and judgment. ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.-11l another part of The Sun of this evening will be fbund a report of the proceedings of the London branch of the Royal Patriotic Society of Scotland, which was held on Tuesday last, the Lord Mayor in the chair. The object of this excellent Institution is the improving the condition of the Highland fisher men and peasantry ; we regret to find that the funds at present are at rather a low ebb, and we join the committee in the hope and expectation that the current year will be characterised by more liberal aid to enable the society to carry out its praise worthy, and, we add, national objects. INVITATION OF THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.—We have reason to believe that the Lord Mayor of Dublin will invite Sir James Duke, the Lord May or of London, to Dublin, upon the occasion of her Majesty's visit to the capital of Ireland, and that the motive is the double one of paying respect to the Queen and increasing the confiden ce o f the Irish people in the determination of the sister king dom to make the most strenuous efforts for the service of Ireland. EXTENSION OF THE BUIL DINGS OF S OMERSE7 i DOUSE.—We understand that tis in cont emp l at i on to erect a new Stamp O ffi ce, especially for the newspaper department, on the vacant space forming one side of Wellington-street, leading over Waterl oo -b r i dge.
