The fate of the important motion that was intended " seriously to damage, if nat effectually to destroy, the Ministry," is at length decided. A division took place at three o'clock this morning, when the " free trade policy" was affirmed by a majority of 140, in a House consisting of 452 Members, the numbers being—for the appointment of the Committee, 156; against it, 296. The hands of the Government have thus been materially strengthened, and the feeling of a large majority of the representatives of the people against a retrograde policy has been most unequivocally expressed. The fallacies of the Protectionist journals, of the orators who so recently declaimed on the boards of Drury lane Theatre, or on the Parliamentary stage, that a reaction had taken place in the public mind, have thus been exhibited in the strongest light. The Premier has been well rewarded for the courtesy that induced him, even at this advanced period of the session, to relinquish two of the Government nights to perhaps the most powerful opponent of his Ministry—the most brilliant and effective orator of the ultra-Tory party. The nation owes a debt; of gratitude to the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire for having elicited so deeided a manifestation in favour of a liberal and unrestricted commercial policy, and for having produced the admirable address of the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tamworth, who vindicated the justice and expediency of the abolition of protective imposts in one of the most masterly and effective orations ever delivered within the walls of Parliament. That brilliant speech is, indeed, worthy of a clear and attentive perusal. Ifany lingering doubt could still exist in the mind of any cairn and unprejudiced inquirer— if for the moment deceived by the specious fallacy of "protection to the British labourer," he could ima gine that the condition of the labouring classes could be improved by being compelled to pay higher prices for food, in order to swell the incomes of the privi leged few, that difficulty would be removed by a con sideration of the lucid and unanswerable reason ing of the ex-Premier. The real question at issue was distinctly explained. It was " Shall the Government be displaced, for the purpose of subverting the commercial policy OD which it has acted:' The industrious classes are un questionably suffering deeply and severely. The Excise returns for th e quarter ending ending on the sth of July instant afford the strongestan a of th evidence of the pri. vations they are undergoi ng , the absence of become almost comforts which, from long usage, have a lmost necessaries of life. B u t would the acknow ledged evil be remedied by the adopti on o f a different commercial principle, by the attempt to pr o t ect every class in the country against every other? C an th ese difficulties and sufferings be in any degree ascribed to the free-trade policy, erroneously stated to have been introduced in 1846, the foundations of which, however, were laid at an early period ? It was in these points that Sir ROBERT PEEL was most happy. He seized the admissions of the Honourable Gentle man, as to the comparative prosperity enjoyed by all classes and interests in the latter end of the year 1845—and he clearly traced the causes of that prosperity to the fiscal changes introduced three years previously by the alteration of the tariff, and the substitution (although to a limited degree) of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1849, direct taxation for some of the most oppressive im posts, by which the nation had previously been afflicted. If the national Exchequer was well re plenished in 1845—if there was ample employment for the labouring classes, and that our export trade was never in a more thriving condition—what was the state of the country four years previously? Carry back the comparison to the palmy days of protection and monopoly, to the year 1841, before any changes had taken place in the fiscal system. During the previous year an attempt had been made to obtain additional revenue by imposing additional taxation on every species of im ports. All the existing duties were increased by 5 per cent.—the duties on the raw materials for our manufactures, and on articles of food, so dear to the Protectionist—and yet there was no corresponding improvement in the receipts. The strongest proof was exhibited that the figures of arithMetic cannot be depended on in fiscal matters. Notwithstanding these extraordinary efforts the national re venue was still inadequate to meet the national expenditure, and we acccordingly find that, in 1841 there was a deficit of nearly 2,500,000/ ; and yet at that very time the agricul turists were protected to the highest degree, indeed any species of competition was excluded, even on the most unfavourable terms. The importation of meat on any terms was absolutely prohibited, and the "sliding scale" prevented the possibility of intro ducing foreign corn save at famine prices. Surely, the country should then have been prosperous, if "protection to the native producer" was the mode by which universal prosperity could be attained. In 1 . 842 a great change took place in the fiscal policy. A direct tax was imposed on income and property in order to meet the deficiency in the revenue ; the prohibition against the importation of cattle or meat was removed ; the duties upon the raw materials, and upon almost every article of subsistence, were considerably reduced. Within the four succeeding years these reductions amounted to no less than 6,582,000/.; and the result was the overflowing Exchequer, the general prosperity, and universal contentment that distinguished the year 18 4 5 . Surely the system from which such happy consequence followed should have been fully carried out —the principle of direct taxation. A. further great reduction, with a view to a total abolition of all indirect imposts, should be gradually brought into operation. Then, indeed, the people would be contented, and all classes, as well the agri culturist as the manufacturer, would thrive under a system that rendered England the emporium of the world, and made her trade, in every respect, free and unrestricted. On Wednesday the Marriages Bill passed through Committee in the House of Commons. A decisive majority of 53 was obtained on the only division that took place. The friends of civil and religious liberty must not, however, relax their exertions; they must not sink into apathy or carelessness in consequence of their success. Another attempt will be made on the third reading either to reject or mutilate the mea sure, and it must still pass through all its stages in the Upper House. Those who desire to coerce the consciences of their fellow-men, who would compel others to adopt their own doctrinal views, will not without a struggle surrender any of the few remnants of intolerance that still dis grace the national statute-book. From the proceedings on 'Wednesday it is manifest that the opponents of the Bill cannot be conciliated. No concessions will induce them to abandon their oppo sition, or to submit with a good grace to the con templated change in the law. The exception to which the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Bute reluctantly, and as it appears to us, un necessarily assented, only evoked a stronger ex pression of determined hostility. Why should any invidious distinction still be maintained ? Why should the question be embarrassed by imposing a restriction on such marriages that should not equally apply to all others ? It may be very proper to attcmpt to check the crime of adul tery by declaring that no marriage should ever be valid between guilty parties, but if so, a general measura should be passed for the purpose, and disgrace and odium should not be need lessly cast on those " moral and religious persons"' who have believed themselves to be justified in form ing such connexions. Why should it, even by im plication, be held out that an improper intercourse is more likely to take place between a brother and sister-in-law than between others ? The solitary case referred to during the debate was surely not sufficient to justify the enactment, and even there it appears that the parties were publicly married within three weeks after the dissolution of the former mar riage. "Extreme cases," it is said, " make bad precedents ;" and certainly no more extreme case than the one alluded to could be adduced ; and ba it remembered that it occurred under the pre sent state of the law, to which indeed it might perhaps, in some degree, be ascribable. Mr. STUART WORTLEY, by suffering his own better opinion to be overruled in deference to some ridiculous scruples, has unwittingly sanctioned an enactment that may lead to very vexatious and annoying proceedings. Mr. A. J. B. HOPE, who had previously published a bulky octavo impugning the report of the Commissioners, brought forward an amendment, which, if adopted, would have completely neutralised the advantages of the Bill, and destroyed its force. The jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court, that was found to be so very obj , -ctionable previous to the passing of the sth and 6th William 11 7 ., c. 54, would be revived. No clergyman can be called upon to celebrate such marriages, if conscientiously opposed thereto. Those who claim liberty of conscience for themselves are willing to extend the most perfect freedom to all ; but Mr. HOPE would subject a minister who, believed that he was properly discharging a most solemn and important duty to spiritual censure. The case of Mr. SHORE has not, as yet, been forgotten. There is no desire to increase the power of a court so obnoxious to the .great body of the people. If Mr. HOPE'S amendment had been, or should be carried, and he has intimated his intention of renewing the discussion on the third reading, its only effect would be to swell the ranks of dissent, and lead to very many secessions from the Church by law established. The other amendment, and that on which the trial of strength took place, was brought forward for the purpose of exempting Scotland and Ireland from the operations of the Bill. It would, indeed, be a strange and anomalous pro ceeding to sanction unions in one part of the empire that should be utterly null and void ab initio in another ; to degrade a woman from the station of a wife which she occupied in one country into that of a mistress in another ; to render innocent children illegitimate in Scotland and Ireland who might inherit honours and dignity in England ; per haps to alter the succession to titles and the inheri tance of properties which were never intended to be separated. If these descriptions of marriages are in deed so repugnant to the feelings of the population, if they are practically unknown in these countries, there can be no practical reason for maintaining the restriction. Any legislation creating unnecessary distinctions between the laws in force in different parts of the United Kingdom should be particularly guarded against. The aim and object of Parliament should be to cement more strongly the existing union, and to bind more closely the ties by which the countries are united. It cannot be said that there is any violation of the treaty of union with Scotland. No change is made in the ecclesiastical laws or church govern ment—a simple act of toleration is passed. A restriction, affecting not only Scotchmen and members of the Church of Scotland, • but also Englishmen, and persons of every religious sect or denomination, who may happen to be domi ciled in that country, is about to be removed ; it would indeed be a strained interpretation of that great national compact that could strive to discover an invasion a simple act of grace of the righ ts ee of the Church of Scotland in and ju s ti ce . A s we ll m i g ht Irishmen complai n o f the removal of the dis a biliti es g by which Roman Catholics and affected as an infringe men t of the rights D is s enters were Church of Ireland, or a violatio n o f the of the fundament a l provisions of the great settlement solemnly entered into by two independent nations half a century since. The present Bill, we trust, will speedily r ece i ve the Royal Assent, and the last vestige of z•ligious into. lerance will thereby—and by the removal of the Jewish disabilities—be erased from our statute-book. Britons may then, indeed, boast that they live under a Constitution affording perfect civil and religious liberty to all. There will then be no exception to the universal toleration. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Evening Moniteur publishes the following ad ditional dispatch from Civita Vecchia : " ADMIRAL TREHOUART TO THE MINISTER OP MARINE. CIVITA VECCHIA, JULY 3, 10 O'CLOCK, A.M. " The Chief of the Staff of the Army writes as fol lows to the Commander-in-Chief of Civita Vecchia, and to the Admiral:— "'HEAD QUARTERS, JULY 2, 10 O'CLOCK, P.M. " At this instant we are taking possession of the gates; San Paolo, Portese, and San Pancrazio. The bastion No. 9 had been already occupied by our troops during the day. They will occupy the military posi tions of which the General in Chief may think proper to take posEession. Everything induces us to believe that the army will be received in Rome, on conditions conformable to the intentions and the interests of France.'" General BEDEAU has received orders to remain for the present at Marseilles. General LAMORICIERE is at Strasburg, but will set off for St. Petersburgh im mediately the Emperor of RUSSIA shall have signified his willingness to receive the General as Ambassador of the French Republic. It is said that M. Einouric DE LIIUYS will be ap pointed Ambassador to London. Intelligence has been received of the result of the elections at Martinique. MM. BISETTE and A. PECOUL, the candidates of the moderate party, have been returned by an immense majority. The num bers' ran thus : Ibl. BISETTE, 15,556_ 2 - M. PECOUL, 13,477; M. &WELCHER, 2,718 ; M. PORY• PAPY, 538. At Guadaloupe it was thought that MM. DE JABRUN and SERVIENT, the moderate candidates, would be returned. The Army of the Alps is dissolved. A portion of the troops will form the Airily of the Rhine. General MAGNAN has been appointed Governor of Strasburg. The Duke of LEUCRTENBERG, the son in-law of the Emperor of RUSSIA, is about to visit his cousin,- the PRESIDENT of the French Re public. This visit is significant at the time when Sardinia is left to the tender mercies of Austria by the breaking up of the army of the Alps, and the army of the Rhine is ordered to re-assemble. Is the army intended to co• operate with the Cossacks for the extinction of liberty in Germany ? The Paris and Chartres Railway was opened in great state on Thursday by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Legislative Assembly resumed OR Thursday the consideration of the requisitory of the Attorney- General of Paris, applying for leave to prosecute the representatives of the people—Beyer, Kopp, Anstelt, Hoffer, and Lourion. No member having asked to offer any observations, five successive ballots took place, and the authorization to prosecute M. Beyer was granted by 272 to 125 ; M. Kopp, by 306 to 132 ; M. Anstelt, by 301 to 141 ; M. Hoffer, by 296 to 135, and M. Lourion, by 311 to 131. The Assembly afterwards continued the discussion on its internal regulations.

BADEN AND THE PALATINATE. The Prussians had taken Radstadt, according to the latest accounts. The following is the official re port by the Prince of Paussra of the military opera tions of the Prussian army in Baden and the Palatin ate : .4 KIIPPENHEIM, JUNE 30.—The Ist and 2d corps ad vanced yesterday from the line of Muhlberg, Carlsruhe, and Durlach towards the Murg, and cleared the right batik of insurgents. Engagements of various duration, but none important, have taken place at Steinmauern, Eg,igheim, Raventhal, Bishweier, and Kuppeuheim. Kinkel of Bonn has been made prisoner in one of these. ro day, after a longish artillery fight, five divisions crossed the Murg, in the neighbourhood of Kuppenheim, and advanced to Oos ' eight miles south of Rastadt. Rastadt is strictly blockaded. Head- quarters, Carlsruhe, June 26.—(Continued from the report of the 24th.) On the 24th the Ist and 4th divisions of the Ist corps execute d the intended advance upon Bruchsal. Tne 4;h division encountered the enemy at Neuderf, and drove him out of the barricaded town, with the loss of 30 killed and eight prisoners. The Prussians had five slightly wounded. The Ist division occupied Bruchsal on the afternoon of the 24th, encoun terieg only the fire of a few sharpshooters. On the 25th the whole corps advanced to Durlech and Carlsruhe. The enemy took advantage of the heights and favourable position of the former place to make a more obstinate defence than usual, and the battle lasted two hours, the Ist divi,iou needed to be supported by eight pieces of artillery, to gain possession of the town. " The 4th division, as soon as it heard of the battle, left the direct route towards Carlsruhe, and, detaching some troops on the spot, was of essential service in clear ing the town by the battering of its western issue; and from thence continued opportunely its march towards Carlsruhe. The enemy retreated into the woody country towards Ettlingen. Garisruhe was abandoned on the morning of the 25th by a corps of rebels 8,000 strong. The last division, amounting to 2,000, with the assistance of the railway, got away by two in the afternoon, and the Prussian troops took possession of the town at three, amid general rejoicing on the part of the inhabitants. The National Guard, 2,000 men strong, having resisted, in the morn ing, an attempt made by the Provisional Government to disarm them by force, was drawn up on parade. The Provisional Government and the enemy's troops took the way to Rastadt. On the morning of the 26th the three corps of the army will have taken the following posi tions:—The first corps, commanded by General Hirsch feld, will take up the lino of Muhlberg, Carlsruhe, and Durlach. The 2d, under General Count Groben, will lie about Bruchsal; and the 3:f, under General Peucker, at Ettlingen. The next operation is directed against Rastadt; the 2d corps will move into the line now oc cupied by the Ist, and form the right wing. As a supplemental detail to the report of earlier ope rations, it may be mentioned that the 3d division, and the 2d corps, under General Schliefen, found in Mannheim 14 cannon, with 12 full ammunition waggons, which were brought on Germersheim. In Mannheim, as in Heidelberg, where two Prussian battalions will stay, I intend to form large magazines, and have given orders for what is requisite to this end. All places occupied by the troops are disarmed. The Carlsruhe burgherwehr are the only exception which I have allowed to this rule. A supplement to the Carlsruhe paper contains a notification from the Finance Ministry, to the effect that the Grand Ducal Baden Railway Sinking Fund and the National Sinking Fund had been embezzle", and a quantity of valuable papers substracted. It adds :—" Vie request all authorities here or abroad to seize such papers wherever they may be found ; to arrest the holders or issuers if possible, and to in form us immediately in either case. We at the same time warn every one from taking such papers by negotiation or otherwise, because the interest will not be paid on them, nor will they themselves be cashed, official steps having been already taken here to pre vent even the possibility of such a thing." ITALY. The thirty-six pound French shot which injured Casino's beautiful fresco of Aurora has been sent by the Roman Triumvirate to Mr. FREEBORN, the British Consul, in whose possession it remains, together with certain 801 b. bombs, in evidence of the reckless disregard for truth of those " Foreign correspondents," who deny that Rome was bombarded, or that any injury had been done to any of its monuments or paintings. The King of SARDINIA. has fixed the 16th for the elections, and the 30th for the day of the assembling of the new Piedmontese Parliament. GEORGE GUERAZZI, the brother of the ex• Director of Florence, has been released from prison at Lucca, and furnished with passports for Mar-eilles, on con dition that he should never return to Tuscany.

(Before Mr. Justice CoirrmAx.) TRIAL UP PRINCE GRANATELLI AND OTHERS. The trial of Prince Granatelli, Senhor Louis Scalia, and Captain Uoody, for an alleged infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act in equipping and arming two English war steamers on an expedition against the King of the Two Sicilies, was resumed this morning. Sir F. KELLY addressed the jury for the defendant, Prince Granatelli. He said he appeared before the jury on behalf of a nobleman of reputation and unblemished character, who appealed to them not against a fine or exile, but against a charge of the ill requital of that hospitality which he has received in this country, and which he was alleged to have violated. He hoped to show them that that nobleman had not violated either the law of this country or the hospitality which had been shown him. Before he proceeded to the facts of this deeply-important case, he should ven ture to submit to them a principle which should govern their decision. The Act of Parliament under which the defendants were indicted was an Act which, imposing as it did the infliction of high penalties, ought to be liberally construed. In a criminal prosecution like this, in which it was not sought to impose a civil liability, but to convict the defendant of a crime, a person should not be made respon sibl9 for the acts of any other person, save those which be himself was proved to have committed. In certain civil cases a person might be responsible for the acts or defaults of another ; but that was not so in criminal cases, unless the defendant was clearly proved to have directed another person to commit the offence with which he was charged. The question was whether the defendants, or any of them, were criminally liable to the cinsequences of the acts charged in the indictment. By our criminal laws we could not be guilty of a crime by agency or delegation. If there ever was a case in which the jury should bear in mind the strict principle of justice to which he had adverted, this was that very case. Here was a nation struggling for independence at a vast distance from England, in the island of Sicily. In seeking to enlist soldiers in this country in their noble struggle for liberty, the defendants thought they were only doing a duty to their country, and in dis• charging that duty they had evinced the greatest anxiety to avoid the infringement of any international law. He ven tured to submit, that by none of those defendants had there been any violation of any criminal law in this country. He would remind them that the Foreign Enlistment Act, under which this indictment was trained was passed, in 1819, when the Spanish Colonists in South America were attempting to throw off the yoke of the mother country in Spain; and the object and policy of this law was not to interfere with the shippitig.aad the conimerce and trade at this tountry, but to= prevent our dock-yards in England being used for building ships of war to be employed against Spain or any other friendly state. There was nothing in this Act of Parliament to prevent the purchase of a ship of war, or the dispatching that ship to any destination in the world, whatever might be its object, or however it was equipped. Nor was there any thing illegal in the purchase and exportation of arms or am munition to Palermo or elsewhere, from this country, though he admitted it was illegal to use our ports and harbours in the building, equipping, or arming of ships of war to be em ployed against any friendly foreign power. The fact alone which was made illegal in this Act of Parliament was the having a vesael in any of our docks or harbours, and furnishing that vessel with guns and muskets with the view of dispatching it on an expedition of hostilities against any State at peace with this country. He contended that by the seventh section of this Act of Parliament the only parties who could be made criminally liable under it were the Queen's subjects, who might be convicted of any of the offences laid down in it. There was no prohibition in the Act to purchase any ship, or dispatch it to any place, or for any purr se, or to purchase any arms for any object whatever. It was just as legal for any person to purchase ships or arms in this country, and to export them to the kingdom of the Two Sicides, or any other part of the world, as it was for any man to go into a shop in Cheapside, and buy whatever articles he wanted, and to send t hem wherever he pleased. The defendants having come for a perfectly legal and honourable purpose to this country, and with an earnest desire to avoid any violation of the laws of this cone. try, he submitted, on these grounds, they must be held guilt lessof the grave charges imputed to them in this indictment. They had been adviser they might safely make a purchase of a ship of war to be employed in the defence of their na tive country, and they made that purchase openly. of a great and powerful company, and they left to that company the whole maintenance of the laws. Their ship had been seized; they complained of that seizure to the Government of this country, who admitted the justice of that complaint, and who, when applied to by the Mini-ter of the King of the Two Sicilies to institute this prosecution, declined thatenter prise ; and yet, after all this, the defendants, under the Act of Parliament to which he had referred, were now treated as felons in this court and in this country. Did they come to this country to carry on any warlike, hostile, or illegal pur pose? By no means. They came to ask from this country a recognition of the independence of their country ; and while prosecuting that object they had interviews with Lord Pal merston, the Minister for Foreign Affairs in this country, and were present at Lady Palmerston's soirees. Except the contract for the purchase of the vessels, he denied that one act bad been proved against either Prince Granatelli or Senhor Scalia, with respect to the "fitting, furnishing, or arming" of either of those vessels. To make Prince Granatelli liable under this indictment it was not enough to prove that he employed an agent generally, but they must prove that he gave specific directions for the execution of the work which was charged as an offence under this Act of Parliament. It was not the defendants, whoever it was, who gave the directions for the work in either of those vessels, which was charged al an offence in the indictment. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. — Judging from the effect at the full rehearsal yesterday, all expectation will be di exceeded by the performance of Linda Cl . tamouni to-ni g ht.

Count FaAriz Zrcaz had to undergo the degrading humiliation of being forced, as Austrian Commissioner, to promulgate these behests of his Russian master. _ On the 23d and 24th there was a great battle above Eperies between the Russians, under General CES DAJEW, and the Hungarians, under DEMBINSIU. According to the Cracow report, after two days of terrible bloody fighting, the Russians were completely beaten. The second Polish Legio'n distinguished themselves greatly. The Vienna papers report the occurrence of this battle, but they claim the victory for the Russian , , AI t hough they admit that the Russians left 3,000 men killed upon the field.

The Risorgintento, of Turin, publishes advices from Palermo. Every article of the capitulation of Palermo has been violated by the emissaries of King BoimßA. Persons are daily arrested, notwithstanding the amnesty, and several of them, including many priests and women, have been tortured. Indeed, King BOMBA openly avows his intention utterly to disre gard any arrangements Ii ILANGIERI may have entered into, and to disavow them, and FILANGIERI himself is but too happy to co-operate with his master. The events now going on in Palermo show how impos., sib'e it is to place the least reliance on the most solemn assurances of the Bourbon KING, or any of his representatives. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, one-third of which were taken on speculation. Holders were firm. In Railway Shares only a limited business was done at firm rates. The Bank of England weekly return to the 30th instant, exhibits at last some increase of circulation, despite the augmentation of public deposits, which exceeded the withdrawals from private lodgments. The advances upon other securities (bills discounted, &c.) were larger, and this also is a favourable innication, though not likely, we pre. sume, to result in a permanent addition to the business of the Corporation after the dividends sre paid, money being so unusually plentiful. The alight reduction of bullion may surprise some, but the recent imports have to a large extent I been in silver, which has to be held by private capitalists and bankers, or exported.

We are favoured by Mr. William Short with the following report of the London metal market: — "Welch Bar Iron has been in very moderate request during the month, yet, at the moment, there is less disposi tion on the part of makers to give way in price than existed in the earlier part of the month, though a shade under my quotation of 5!. per ton, free on board, in Wales, might Le submizsed to. Staffordshire Iron has declined fully 10e. per ton. Scotch Pig Iron, at Glasgow, advanced within the last fourteen days to 4ss. to 455. 6d. per ton cash for mixed numbers, ordinary brands, but has since declinel to 44 5. to 445. 6d., at which the market is firm. Gartsberrie, No. 1, is 465. Of Swedish Iron there is extremely little in the market, and the price is firm at my quotations. " Copper is in fair demand ; the arrivals of foreign ore having of late been considerable, is in favour of the present low price being unaltered, at least for a time. "Tin—Early in the month a reduction of 41. per ton was made in the price of English Tin, which has resulted in a fair demand for the article. _ . • "Tin Plates are in fair request, at a decline on Coke of about Is. to Is. 6d. per box from the price at the commence ment of the month. " Lead is in moderate request, at a shade lower prices. " Speller was early in the month advanced to 151. 10s., at which some sales were effected. Holders have since con tinued firm at that figure, but with nearly a total absence of business, there being no buyers at beyond 151. per ton. The present stock is 1,970 tone, against '2,900 tons at the same period last year." The exports of the precious metals from London, during the week to Thursday last, were as follows:—Gold coin to the Mauritius, 588 ounces. Silver coin to Rotterdam, 2,000 ounces; to Belgium, 1,000 ounces; and to Dunkirk, 5,000 ounces. Silver bars to Rotterdam, Belgium, and France, 439.040 ounces. The advices received to-day from the manufacturing dis tricts are satisfactory. At Manchester a fair ousiness has been done in light gecds at very full prices, and buyers have operated rather freely for Brazil, India, and even Germany. In the woollen branches at Leeds, tic , the prospects are very favourable, and in the Leicester market a good deal is doing for America. _ _ _ The Funds are still moving upwards, Consols having touched 92% % for Transfer and Account. Exchequer bills are 455. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 195. The New Three-and• a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 92;A to 931,4.

Brazilian Bonds have been 83. Mexican are 28 1 4 to 281/. 2 . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are nominally 50 to 51 ex div. Railway Shares have been more active, and in some cases are looking up a little, but we must except the Midland and one or two of hers, which are decidedly lower in consequence of the probability of very small dividends. Brighton are firm, as also Caledonian, South Eastern, Eastern Counties, Great Northern and the French lines.

SlR,—Allow me to thank you for your spirited and able ad vocacy of the cause of the noble though exiled and distressed Hungarians. I could say much for them, but I feel that the generous hearts of Englishmen need but to know that the cause of humanity and religious freedom is in danger to arouse their warmest sympathy. I enclose you one pound, and I hope that many of Inv friends will follow my example. I am, dear Sir, your much obliged 195, Blackfriars-road, July 7, 1849. J. BRADY. TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN. enclose my mite towards the subscription for the gallant Hungarians, which you have nobly distinguished yourself as having set on foot. Will you allow me to ask ' through your columns whether the time has not arrived in which earnest and energetic means should be taken to show how deeply the sympathies of the English r ation are excited on behalf of the Hungarian patriots, who having so lately driven the Austrian eagle fr. m their land, are now imperilled by the savage hordes of Russia? Every day I look with anxiety at the newspapers, in the hope of seeing an account of public meetings held, or projected, for the . purpose of collecting subscriptions and expressing opinions in favour of the righteous cause of Hungarian liberty, so infamously belied by a great portion of our press, and so un happily neglected by the mass of our people. Surely the time has come when England should be raised to a know ledge of the atrocities perpetrated by the brutal minions of Austria and Russia, and words of measureless indignation hurlel against the Imperial hangmen at Presbarg, and the infamous brutes who did not scruple to flog a noble Hunga rian woman because her son had joined the patriot cause. Such acts as these indicate the character cf the detested Go vernment which it is proposed to es!ablish over a brave and noble nation—a Government whose " justice" is the murder of the wise and good, and whose "order" is the enthrone ment of rapacity and crime. From one end of England to the other there should be public meetings, in which national feeling should be so strongly expressed as to make the despots of Austria and Russia feel that the moral force of civilization is against them, and be to the heroic assertors of their country's rikbts a certain prophecy that whatever temporary defects they may sustain, their cause must tri umph in the end; for it is identified with human progress, consecrated by its harmony with the laws of God.

In reference to this subj,ct a report was presented by Mr. Golfo, the assistant surveyor, setting forth mea sures to imrrove the drainage of that locality, and on the general features of the district. The report contained the follovting remarkable passage t—" The gullies of the sewers in Abingdon street emitted very off,nsive effluvia, Rhich I am of opinion proceed from St. Margaret's churchyard, being completely filled up with bodies in a state of decomposition, whereby the BA is saturated with gases penetrating into the sewers. From inquiries I have made, it appears that particular gullies are offensive at one time and not at am?ther, which may be accounted for by the wind passing down one grating and forcing the gases up another.' After a short conversation it was resolved, " That copies of Mr. Goltu's report, on the complaint of the Speaker of the House of Commons, be sent to the Speaker, and also to the Commissioners for rebuilding the new palace at Westminster." THE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION.— Sir E. Milne, one of the Westminster Improvement Commissioners, attended the court, and stated that that board would shortly be in a position to open the New Victoria-street, but until some general plan of drainage was settled, the builders would not luck at it:— lie wished to know when it would be determined what ge neral plan would be settled definitively, so that their works might go on consistently with their plans. The Commissioners would be able to throw open Victoria street in a month's time at the outside. Lord Ebrington said the Court was anxious for a decision on the ques tion. He thought he might say for the rest of the Com missioners that they were desrous to proceed with ill speed consistent with safety an d economy . Sir E. Milne expressed his satisfaction with this a ssurance, and re tired. Several works of emergency were then ordered, and the Court adjourned. CITY DISPENSARY, QUERN-STREET, CHEAPSIDE.- yrom the 60th annual report of this most useful charity, St appears that the number of patients within the last three years have increast d more than sixty per cent. over the previous annual average. The institution was founded in the year 1789, and from its opening to the close of last year 288,749 patients have been cured and relieved, and upwards of 85,000 visited at their own houses; while various accidents and urgent cases have been treated without letters of recom mendation. The number of patients during the last year very nearly reached 10,000. The increase of recipients in the benefits of the charity having occasioned the annual expenditure to exceed the income by upwards of 2001., the Lord Bishop of Hereford has signified his willingness to advocate the institution at the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, when the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs will attend. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Express steamer, which arrived this morning from Havre, an nounces that the cotton-market yesterday was extremely active owing in a great measure to arlvices received per Hermann. The sates amounted to 3,500 bales, at very tirm prices; indeed, in some instances, a slight advance was obtained on lute quotations. The Marie Caroline, from Gonaives, arrived at Havre yesterday afternoon. The amount reported as taken from the Quakers in support of their testimony against ecclesiasticol demands last year, is stated at upwards of tea tli9aNuld powlds. THE FATE OF KENNEDY'S EX- PLORING EXPEDITION. (From the Guernsey Star.) It is with sincere regret that we quote, from intelli gence just received from Syd ney , the following an nouncement of the tragical death of E. B. Kennedy, son of Colonel Kennedy, of this island : " The exploring expedition of Mr. E. B. Kennedy into the north country between Moreton Bay and Cape York has unhappily terminated in the death of the gallant leader and nine of his men. Mr. E. B. Kennedy was murdered by the natives, and the men died from starvation. The Government passes the following high eulogium on Mr. Kennedy and his unfortunate companions : . ".‘ The Government desires to record, without delay. the high sense which it entertains of their untiring zeal and inflexible courage, under the circumstances of g reat peril by which he appears to have been surrounded, espe cially during the latter part of his journey. The indefv tigable exertions he made faithful'y and zealously to carry out the objects of the expedition, no less 'han the great personal risk to which he exposed himself in endeavour ing to procure relief for the unfortunate individuals of his party, whom he found it neccessary, from their helpless and exhausted condi ion, to leave at Weymouth Bay and Shelborne Bay, would have entitled him, had he sur vived, to the warmest thanks of the Government. As it his noble exertions have called forth its highest ad' iniratiun, and it is not doubted that this deep sympitbY which is felt for his sudden and premature death, at a rime, too, when he was on the very eve of overcoming the greatest difficulties of his position, is warmly partici pated in by the whole of this community. By this ca lamitous and dihttessing event the public service has been deprived of one of its most z , lilous and efficient efficers." " Mr. Kennedy's name has been often most honourably mentioned in connexion with the exploratory expedi tions in the int( rior of Australia, and his untimely death is not less a misfortune to the cause of geogra phical science than it is an affliction to his estimable tamily." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sett,—l saw in the itnes this morning an account of the further great meeting in the City to consider the , prop -sed scheme of th e " reco l on i zat i on " (of parts) "of Ireland," and glancing quickly over the article, and g ood Lord Clarendon's letter, I felt even more than the Wig' faction and delight so graphically and spontaneousli demonstrated by his Excellency. I most sincerely and cordially agree, that the time , , for Ignorance, and Ap at hy, an d . S e lf- see ki ng, atta Double-mindedness, is gone. The Let-alone policy hos. been weighed in th e b a l ance an d f oun d want i ng ; by, I cannot say that it is so with its strenuous advocates and supporters. That all honest ones among them ro ut go on prospering, and increasing in knowledge, in good' nets, and happiness, here and hereafter, is my fervea l and most earnest prayer. That this great question should be at last taken up the merchant princes of this great, and I wish I coul add, Holy city, is an earnest, indeed, that the good time is at hand. May we receive it with humility and Chris' tian joy, and with charity as unbounded !—Amen. I could wish, however, that some more opportune sot' bon bad been chosen for the projected issuing o f the. London train bands for the great experiment abo9 being made—of how to introduce capital, with improlo moral, and social, and industrial' habits into the sister country I Few I would hope, amon g th e merc h ant princes ste actuated by the low and sordid promptin gs of the "sPi l i rious philanthropy"somewhat unworthilycharged again' them by a Peer of Ireland. No! lam sure that, as a body, they would, al the/ do—most indignantly repudiate the accusation. They are, therefore (I would humbly and respectful l i submit). the better prepared to c o ns id er th e f orce of til d argument, that— Taunted as people in high and responsible places, der the Crown, have been by Ireland and by other par : of the United Kingdom (and the Colonies?) with SO undue leaning to London interests, a less equivocal dil l ; may be chosen than a season of- appalling depr es sion all interests in Ireland! I know that the object of our kind, worthy, and war% hearted philanthropists is to d o goo d, an d I may 0!, almost nothing but good. But (though " doiog all the best"), remembering also, under God, the besot and affecting lines of the poet Burns, it may not be W l ' charitable to assume that feelings of self-will always i 5 trude with us mortals to edge away the direct course a single-minded purpose. In pursu'ng it, " tho greatest happiness of 01 greatest number," is a n o bl e an d s hi n i ng precep t to iile; sist us, if honestly applied; but it, like every other 0 (except " The t ear an d t h e l ove o f G o d a l one "), b 0 its exc. ptiuns, besid es it s uses , i ts a b uses, and i ts per versions! The benefit of all to the injury of none is a much 1 _,e 51 ambiguous one—what i s more , i t i s a much safer ou r and, what is still more, it is the religious one I With it as a motto, I wish to do my best towards 1 .5 general weal—as far as on e man can; an d upon it, Om the help of God, I take my stand for the general bese . :, and reconciliation of all interests and of all cla s ses of au unhappy country whose cube I mainly advocate St time; in fine, for the Peoplo, the Landlords, the Aristv" racy and the STATE PRISONERS of Ireland.
