A strict and searching inquiry is about to take place into all the circumstances of the late unfortunate collision at Dolly's Brae, on the 12th instant. An eminent Queen's Counsel has been deputed to conduct the investigation, so that there is every reason to hope that the higher class delinquents, those who fos tered the evil passions and religious animosities of their humbler brethren, will not escape scathless. The true causes of the deplorable transaction will be fully ascertained, and the conduct of the guilty parties held up to well-merited reprobation. It is not by inflicting exemplary punishment on the humble offenders who have been already captured, and who are now awaiting their trials, that the law can be adequately vindicated ; they cannot, of course, be allowed to escape scot free, that such an i or permitted to suppose outrage could be committed with mpunity, but a minor punishment, accompanied by an unequivocal intimation that more stringent penalties would be re sorted to on all future occasions, might be sufficient at present. A. sound discrimination must also be exhibited in measuring the degrees of guilt of the dif ferent parties. Proper distinctions must be made be tween those who deliberately and advisedly endan gered the public peace, who, armed with deadly weapons, assembled together for the purpose of in sulting and alarming their neighbours, and between others whose excited passions, and perhaps in some degree well-grounded apprehensions, led them into crime. It is deeply to be regretted that the salutary law prohibiting party processions of every de scription has been suffered to expire. It is impossible to calculate the serious consequences occa sioned by these ridiculous and most impolitic exhibi tions. It is not merely the injury to person or pro perty that occurs during the conflicts that almost invariably take place. True it is, that blood is fre quently shed, lives lost, and shocking wounds inflicted. Houses too are plundered and destroyed, as on the late occasion, and heads of families consigned to a prison, while their helpless wives and children are re duced to the verge of destitution, during the punish ment of the husband and father. But these evils, la mentable as they undoubtedly are, constitute the least part of the mischief. A spirit of deadly hatred is en gendered ; an anxious desire for revenge ex cited, in place of living in love and harmony, and labouring together for the good of their common country. No opportunity is neg lected that affords a reasonable chance of exhibiting their animosity or wreaking vengeance the one upon the other. The feeling excited on the 12th of July survives throughout the entire year; and many fierce dissensions, bitter quarrels, and faction fights owe their origin to the party processions, that cast a stain upon the otherwise fair fame of the northern pro vinces. It was not, unfortunately, on one day in the year or by one party only that these objectionable demon strations were made. If the Orange flag was ex hibited on the Ist or 12th of July, or on the sth of November, the green flag was also paraded on St. Pa trick's-day or St. Peter's-eve. Numerous opportuni ties were taken advantage of to exhibit hatred and defiance of the opposite party, for that, in fact, was the real intent and object of these party processions. It was not to celebrate a bygone triumph, the results of which had long previously passed away ; it was not to observe a religious ceremony, or a national fete ; but it was to provoke their neighbours, to excite fear and alarm, and to produce those sangui nary riots that have been so justly complained of, and the bitter remembrance of which was handed down from father to son, through successive genera tions. There can be little doubt that such assem blages were illegal and punishable under the common law, without any express statute in relation thereto ; but the ignorant and misguided multitude could not be persuaded thereof. They were accustomed to see such exhibitions not merely tolerated but even encouraged by parties who were entrusted with the commission of the peace, and who ought to have known better. If any parties were brought to trial, it was for an assault, cr, perhaps, more formidable outrages growing out of the transaction, cud not for having merely joined in the procession ; • hence could not but believe that they ,re fu1 . 13 I,v ju l' fi e they e in yielding to their own desire a ng m i , n h o ar i n n i t s e o r n . the appointed day , believing dtbaapj appearing those fered with their proceedings, or opposed their pro gress, would be the real aggressors. And this opinion was entertained by both parties, and could not be eradicated from their minds. The Processions Act however, dispelled this illusion ; it rendered the joining in such a demonstration an offence ) per se, subjecting the persons convicted thereof to severe punishment. It therefore had the most beneficial effect in that respect. Besides it was a general enactment, prohibiting every species of pro cession, and giving no triumph to any party ; it was, therefore, the more readily obeyed by all. When, however, it was permitted to expire, it w as su pp ose d that the Government no longer desired to put down processions, and that they became legal on the cessation of the law by which they were expressly forbidden. Whatever may be the effect of the com mon law, those processions will never be effectually suppressed until the statute be re-enacted and perpetuated. We believe that there would be no opposition to a Bill for that purpose in either branch of the Legislature, but that it would be passed with perfect unanimity through all its stages, and that it would not prolong the session by even a single day. We regret that the Government should have thought differently, and decided on post poning legislation until next year. We trust, how ever, that it may be one of the first measures brought under the notice of Parliament next session, and that in the meantime it may be clearly and unequivocally intimated to the local magistrates that any illegal conduct on either side, or any breach of the common law, will be punished with the utmost rigour and severity. We recently pointed out the intimate connexion existing between the great question of monetary, fiscal, and financial reform. Any legislation on one of these subjects, unless accompanied by great and comprehensive changes in the others, would be utterly inadequate to meet the wants and wishes of the people. We showed that great reductions might nominally be made in the amount of taxation, without any real re • lief being afforded to the nation by reason of a con temporaneous contraction of the circulating medium, which would more than neutralise the advantages to be derived from measures of economy and retrench ment. The mode of taxation is also of no . less importance than its amount; so long as the present unjust and impolitic system of indirect taxation be retained, there can never be a complete or satisfactory adjustment of the great questions at issue between the people and their rulers. The Liverpool Reform Association, to whom the honour is due of having originated the movement that has since made such extraordinary progress in the public mind, and whose valuable tracts have so fully and completely exposed the malversation and pecula tion existing in many of our national establishments, fully participate in this opinion. In the report of the committee, read at the annual meeting of the society, the following remarkable passages may be found : " Important as the reduction of expenditure un doubtedly is, and easy of accomplishment, if honestly attempted, as the exposure of the wanton, wilful, and reckless waste of public money, made in our tracts, clearly shows it to be, yet if reduction of expenditure is to be the only aim and limit of the labours of financial reformers, it will infinitely fall short of the requirements of the country's need, and, as such, will not be worth the efforts and sacrifices necessary for its attainment. " A reduction once effected—and more especially if sufficiently large to satisfy public demands, and thereby lessen its vigilance—can be easily and gradually, and very imperceptibly, replaced by increased expenditure, which may again become ruinous before any further adequate public opinion can be brought again to bear on its reductions, as witness the increase of present expen diture as compared with that of the years 1832, 1833, 1834, and 1835, unless some permanent and self-acting check be introduced. Hence the necessity of what we consider to b'e the most important object of our Asso ciation, viz., the substitution of direct for indirect taxation." 1 These are truths that should be maturely and seriously considered by the people. So long as the national revenue is levied by means of indirect im posts, so long as an undue share of the national bur dens and the national expenditure is levied upon the wages of industry, so long as every man is not taxed secundum statum et facultates, according to his means and the stake he possesses in the country, so long will there be a renewal of the lavish and pro fligate expenditure so justly complained of, whenever agitation shall subside, and the popular mind cease to be disturbed. The only effectual check that can be imposed will be the effecting a total alteration of our fiscal system, which, by making every subject of the realm contribute directly in proportion to his powers to ~ the national expenditure, will supply sufficient inducement to make him care fully watch over the public purse, and indignantly denounce any wanton extravagance—it will, to use the impressive language of the committee, provide the only " permanent and self-acting check" that can be obtained. Unless this change of system can be effected the principles of free trade can never be carried cut in all their integrity. The imposts that are levied for the purposes of revenue interfere with our trade and commerce, and restrict consumption as much as if they had been imposed for the sake of protection, although the abolition, or we should rather say, the reduction of the duties on commodities, were productive of the most beneficial results. Still it was but a step in the right direction, a means towards an end, and not the end itself. It only relieved the people of one of many burdens. Its chief o v f on almuewopoasly. It affirmed that i t gave a death-blow to the principle the great doctrine that "the mat h ny tt doctrine is still a should not be taxed for the benefit of the few;" but practically acted on whenever the burdens that in equity and justice should only fall on accumulated and realised property are suffered to press upon the wages of industry. It is true, that corn constitutes the chief necessary of life for the working classes, and that the tax thereon was of all others that which it was most desirable to abolish. But there is the highest authority for saying, that " it is not good for man to live on bread alone," and custom has rendered many articles to which we have been long habituated comforts with which we could not dispense without the greatest inconvenience,but th ese are still heavily-- taxed. The hardworking sempstress is still compelled to pay 800 or 900 per cent. on the tea that enables her to keep her eyea open to perform her almost incessant toil. Sugar, " the corn of the tropics," still pays enormous duties in proportion to its original value. The bricklayer's labourer must pay four times the cost price of his pot of beer or porter, on account of the malt and hop tax, and if he solaces himself during the interval of labour with a pipe of Indian weed, the expense is increased tenfold by the exorbi tant impost, that not only checks consumption, but produces smuggling and frauds on the revenue, and demoralizes numbers of our people, who are thus in. duced to become habitual violators of the law. Here, then, we find the multitude paying the great bulk of the national taxation on what have become actual necessaries of ex istence, while our trade with China, with the sugar and tobacco growing countries, still remains undeveloped, and that impulse is withheld that would be afforded to our manufactures, by a n increased consumption of those commodities, and an increased "purchasing power" in the producers. Nay, even British industry is discouraged by the malt and hop taxes, which impose additional and most unequal and partial burdens on our own farmers, and practically check employment. All these imposts should be totally and for ever abolished. The national expen diture should be defrayed solely by imposing equal burdens on every subject in proportion to his means; and we may conclude in the impressive language of the Council of the Association :—" A permanent reduction of expenditure, and a completely liberated commerce with free industry, therefore imperatively demand, as the very basis of their existence, Direct Taxation." TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and of yesterday. On Friday the law on the press was passed by a majority of 300, and on Saturday the law for pro roguing the Assembly from the 12th August to the 30th September was passed by a majority of 294 to 247. In the course of the di.cussion on the Bill M. DUFAURE declared that the Government would be responsible for the public security and for the safety of the Constitution_ and the Republic during the recess. Divisions among the majority are becoming every ,day more manifest. The Legitimati.its who have .joined the reactionary conspiracy for the sole purpose of bringing back the Absolutist Prince HENRY V. with a legion of priests and Jesuits in his train, are becoming jealous of the provincial popularity of the PaEsIDENT;and - are afraid of a Bonapartist restoration. They consequently threatened to secede in a body from the majority if the PRESIDENT were permitted to make any more claptrap speeches after the manner of those at Chartres and Hain, and accordingly, to appease the Legitimatist susceptibilities, the follow ing appeared in the Itioniteztr of Saturday : "In the journeys that the President of the Republic has made to this day, public functionaries have addressed to him by speeches their rellects and felicitations. This usage which had, under the monarchy, been pushed to abuse, ought to disappear from our habits. 'The President of the Republic cannot, without doubt, but feel flattered at receiving the felicitations of - the civil, religious, and military authorities; but it would be much better addresses should be conveyed to him without being spoken. The President of the Republic would be happy, especially, to fled in them the sincere and com plete expression of the wants and wishes of the popula tions which he visits." It is amusing to find the different sections of the reactionary party already sluabbling over the spoils of the not yet defunct Republic. "First catch your hare," gentlemen ; it will be time enough to consider how to cook it afterwards. The Moniteur contains three decrees, confiding, ad interim, to M. DE TRACY, the Minister of Marine, the functions of the War Department during the absence of General RULRIERES; to M. DUFAURE, the Minister of the Interior, those of Public In struction and of Public Works, in the absence of M. DE FALLOUX and M. LACROSSE, all of whom have accompanied the PRESIDENT on his trip to the opening of the first section of the Tours and Nantes Railway. The:PRESIDENT set off yesterday morning for the Orleans line, accompanied by a numerous suite. his absence will be for fbur days. General DE GRAMMONT has been elected as repre sentative fbr the Loire, and MM. ECHASSERIAUX and DELAJUS have been returned for the Charente In ferieure. The Prince DE CANINO will, it is said, be put in nomination for the department of the Soane et Loire. These papers announce the death of Marshal Mo- Lyron. The melancholy event took place on Friday. The veteran was in his seventy-ninth year. The budget for 1850 is to be brought forward on Saturday next. It was rumoured on the Bourse that England and France had agreed to make a joint effort to put a stop to hostilities in Hungary by mediation. M. DE TOCQUEVILLE has fixed Monday, Aug. 6, as the day WI which he will be prepared to enter into a discussion on the affairs of Rome. M. D'lttacounr, the French Ambassador at Gaeta, has arrived at Toulon, and M. THEODORE DE LESSEPS, the brother of the late Envoy to the Ro man Republic, has been dispatched to London on a special mission. I - The Salut Public of Lyons, of the 27th, says : " Since yesterday there has been an unusual move ment of the troops in our city. Several regiments have left, or will leave to-day for the frontiers of Savoy. We are not aware what are the circumstances which have given rise to this congregation of troops towards the frontier, but it is probable that it has been caused by the negotiations between Austria and Piedmont." The intelligence of the conclusion of peace between Sardinia and Austria is confirmed. The Breese has the following as to the difficulties which had attended the negotiations : " Since the evacuation of Alessandria the conduct of M. Bruck has been marked by continual tergiversation. It would have been imagined that Austria was appi e hensive of some movement which might weaken the ef fects of the battle of Novara. The entrance of our sol diers at Rome and the state of siege of Paris have completely changed these dispositions. Since that the tergiversations have all finished—the only exigen cies have been brought forward. Amongst the condi tions which Austria would wish to impose on Piedmont, there is ono which has never, until now, been brought forward. The question is to force Italy nolens volens to enter into a customs league. Doubtless, this would at one time have been a grand conceptioe; but, in the present state of the country, it is to be questioned whe ther it can politically and commercially submit to the conditions which Austria would impose on her. A cus toms league would doubtless be all to the interest of Austri a , and to the detriment of France, and it is there fc;:e strange that Piedmont has not met with more sup port from our Government. The result of this league would be in a short time to render all Italy tributary to the capitalists of Vienna, and to throw all the trade of the Mediterranean ports and of the Adriatic into the hands of Austria. This has been clearly the object of M. Bruck, and it is that which has excited the attention and raised the objections of Piedmont. If she refuses it I is probable that war may recommence, and if she yields the whole country will be in revolt." The Bourse on Saturday was rather firmer, but the amount of business was still limited. Threes for the account closed at 53f. 35c., and Fives at 87f. 95c.

MADAME VESTRIS' BENEFIT AT TUE LYCEEM. The benefit of Madame Vestris is fixed for this evening at the Lyceum. The announcement of this fact is tanta mount to saying that the number of persons the house is capable of holding will be accurately ascertained to night. The performances consist of Planch6's lively comedy The Follies of a Night (in which Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris appear), The Beggars' Opera, with Madame as Lucy, Miss Kathleen Fi zwtlliam as Polly, and Mr. W. Harrison as Macheath, and Bor and Cox. Mr. Sims eves has given his v_duable ser vices, and will appear in the last scene of Lucia de Lammermoor, and Mr. C. Mathews will speak a farewell address. The steam- ship America, Captain Harrison, de parted from Liverpool, on Saturday aftcrnoor, for Halifax and New York, with the usual North-American mails and 100 pas3engen. GERMANY AND THE I% , TORTIIERN STATES PRUSSIA. On the evening of the 27th a royal ordinance was published in Berlin removing the state of siege. A Frankfort paper says that there is a secret ar ticle in the armistice between Prussia and Denmark, by which Prussia engages to execute the armistice notwithstanding the opposition of the Duchies, and to enforce its observance on tine part of the Schles wig- Holsteiners by force of arms if necessary. The cologne Gazette says that Prussia has offered to assist Austria and Russia against the Hungarians. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Advices have been received from Vienna to the 25th. DEMBINSKI and GEORGEY have gained another vic tory. It will be recollected that in his dispatch de tailing the events of the battle of Waitzen, Prince PASKEIVITCII stated that he h a d di spa t c h e d G enera l RUDIGER, at the head of a.large body of cavalry, after GEORGEY, in order to prevent his crossing the Theiss, and joining the main body of the Hungarian army. The army of RUDIGER has been defeated, and forced to fall back upon the main Russo Austrian army under PASKEWITCH. The Wiener Zeitung of the 25th says— " The 3d army corps which pursued the enemy to Balasse, Gyarmath has been since the 22d in G 3 ongyes." R uDiGE n, therefore, has been completely beaten. On the 19th he was 30 miles to the north of Waitzen, marching northward, and on the 22d he was 40 miles due west of the same place, with his great force of cavalry quite stationary, obliged to fall back on PASKEWITCH'S high road from Pesth to Dukla. The official paper adds :-- "The further pursuit towards Misltolez has been un dertaken by General Siss.,, Tlle Z itung of the.24th announces that th e --- Wiener fortress of Arad had been forced on the 20th, in conse quence of a total want of provisions, to capitulate to the Hungarians. The want of provisions is severely felt by the Imperialist forces everywhere, and it is said that the situation of the Russo-Austrian army under PASREWITCII is worse than was that of the Austrian army under WINDLSCnGRATZ. The Breslau. Gazette of the 26th inst. says— " By intelligence from Hungary of the 20th inst. we learn that Georgey and Dembinski have joined their forces in the - rear of Prince Paskewiteh. The Russans lost six thousand killed and wounded in the affair of Waitr:n. The battle lastei two days. There were 120 peces of ordnance in the . field. The second day the rear guard of Georgey made a terrible resistance. The Austro.Russian army is surrounded in the cebtre of Hungary. Klapka defends Acs; Georgey and Dembinski, with 80,000 men, defend from Ypolsak to T6kay, Ucsay, and Guyon. Three corps of the Hungarian army are beyond the Theiss, near Sznolnok and Pestb. They have been compelled to turn nearly all the churches and public edifices into hospitals for the wounded Russians." The Agrarner Zeitung of Semlin, July 18, de .,eribes the battle fought between HLYGLS and Torcm.i as follows: " As the 13.7. n, on the 14th instant, ordered his troops to advance at midnight against the enemy, and had dis patch'd a brigade against their centre, he was unex pettedly attacked towards tha morning, on both flanks, by a vigorous cannonade. The brave Croats, the men of Piret, and,the Walmoden Cuirassiers, fought with the courage of lions, but were obliged to give way before the superior force of the enemy; and there was great slaughter on both ides. It is said that .Bem and Fermi. led on their troops in person. The Ban son perceived the treachery, and sounded a retreat immediately, iu order that they might occupy again the positions which they bad before the entrance into Bacska. "It is also said that the plans of our army were betrayed to the enciny by a certain Captain Georgievie, of a German Banat regiment, who kept up a correspondence with spies from Belgradp, and Magyars from Pancova. Ile has been arrested along with a Llonved officer, and both the traitors will be tried by a court-martial, and doubtless suffer for their treachery. One of the authorities in Servia; Demeter Simicb, has also been arrested. This unhappy man was doubt less bribed with Turkish Magyar money, and tried to seduce the Auitrian military from their allegiance to their beloved Monarch. The Ban has retired to-day from Titel, and crossed the Danube to Ruma." As the Agrainer Zeitung is the organ of the Ban of CROATIA, the above may be considered as the BAN'S own account of his defeat by Bent. The article is impor tant as proving the existence of a strong feeling in favour of the Magyar cause even among the Croa tians. The fact is, that since the proclamation of Austrian " unity," in March last, the Croatians, Scla vonians, and Dalmatians have become to the full as dissatisfied with Austria as the Magyars, and as desi rous of taking up arms in defence of their threatened nationalities. They have only been kept down by the strong arm of JELLACIHCH, and now that, he is de feated, we should not be surprised to learn that some " transaction" had taken place between the Magyars and the Sclavonians. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. Accounts from Schleswig-Holstein state that the following persons were proposed to form (h. Pr^";- biullai Armistice Government of Schleswig:—For Prussia, ADOL PHE V ON M OLTKE (memb e r o f the late general Government) ; for Denmark, Baron KARL PLESSIN ; and for England, Baron VON FALKEN. BERG. The former has positively declined, and the second intends doing so; and in place of the latter, Mr. HOWARD, secretary of the British Ambassador at the Court of Prussia. The Schleswig Regency has dismissed the Prussian General PRITTWITZ from the command of the troops, who have been ordered to evacuate Julland, and occupy Rendsburg, of which fortress General KaonN has been appointed Governor. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JULY 27.—At the opening of the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General on the 25th, the Minister for the Colonies communi cated an outline of the official report transmitted by General MICHIEES, Commander-in-Chief of the ex pedition against Bali. He stated that the inhabitants of Boloing had submitted to the Netherlands flag, and had expelled their Raja ; that the Raja of Kurang Assam, in the Island of Bali, had been as sassinated by his subjects, who had at length sub mitted to the Dutch Government; that the Dutch troops had received a reinforcement of 4,000 native troops from some of the Rajas, and were on the point of marching to Kong-Klong. The Minister added, that the next overland mail would probably bring the result of the favourable termination of the war, and an arrangement respecting the settlement of the new acquisition ; but he did not state the intention of the Netherlands Government respecting it. The members of the First Chamber of the States General are convoked for Thursday the 2d August. THE CHOLERA.

BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The Brussels papers men• tion the intention of the ex-liinc , of the French ; Louis PHILIPPE, to visit Brussels shortly. The Impartial de Bruges, in a recent number, says :—" We are informed that the civic guard of Bruges intend to give a ball to his Majesty King LEOPOLD during his sojourn at Ostend, and that it is very probable the Ex-KING of the FRENCH will honour this ball with his presence. One of the first architects of Ghent expired on Tuesday, in consequence of having been wet through during the procession of the previous day. His Ma. jesty, with great consideration, sent one of his aides de-camp to the family of M. VAN OVERSTRACHN, to assure them of his sympathy under their severe and sudden loss. SWITZERLAND. Letters from Berne announce that the Swiss Con federation have ordered a levy of 28,000 men to be placed under the command of General DUFOUR, in consequence of the violation by a number of llessian troops of the territory near Schaffhausen, for which satisfaction was refused, and in consequence of a con siderable body of Prussian troops being assembled on the German line in the direction of Switzerland. ITALY. A letter of the 24th, from Turin, states that the peace with Austria has been signed. The Ministry, seeing the result of the elections, had lost no time in concluding it, Austria having besides repeated her threat to resume hostilities if her conditions were not accepted. The elections were not favourable to the Ministry, all the old Alembero having been elected. Intelligence from Milan confirms the statement of Austria at u bardinia. the conclusi o n o f a definitie, tfe4ty peace between The n ews f rom Rome is to the 20th. The Giornale di Roma of the 19th contains the following ordonnance:— " During the night numerous assemblages of people have been observed to parade the town, notwithstanding the laws in vigour. Considering that such assemblages cannot be qualified otherwise than as criminal and re prehensible in their object, it is ordered:—.Art. 1. Every crowd of persons consisting of more than five persons, during the night, is expressly prohibited. Art. 2. Trans gressors shall be immediately arrested a - ad punished according to the rigour of the law:. Art. 3.. 'The armed force is directed to enforce the exeaution of this decree. Everybody is informed that particular instrtictiong have been given tp the armed force on ybis subject"; " Given at the Palace of the Government on the , 18th of July. • " The Prefect of Polico, L. ROUSSEAU." By a decree of General OUDINOT of the 19th, Don Giovanni Chigi, the Canon Louis Gaggiotti, Advo cate Felix Desjardins, Chevalier Palazzi, and Law rence Santini, are made Members of the new Muni cipality of Rome. A Pontifical Commission was expected to arrive in Rome on the evening of the 20th. It is composed of Cardinals Angelis, Marini, and Vannicelli, and of I‘Vtl. Martel, Andrea, and Roberti, as well as of the Princes Rostugliosi, Barberini, and Orsini. An am nesty is spoken of but will, however, except the members of the Triumvirate, the deputies, the com missioners, the chiefs of the sections, the ecclesiastics, and all those included in the amnesty of 1846. By a decree of the 18th of the Commissary-General of the Ministry of Finance at Rome, all the posses sions lately belonging to the Jesuits are restored to the administration of the special commission named by his HoLusEss for that purpose. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 24th says that GARIBALDI with his bands have been surrounded by the Austrian and Tuscan troops, so that he cannot get away without a decisive action. Other letters from Florence, says the same journal, say that GARIBALDI is concentrating his troops in the Valdi chiana, and had taken the direction of Arezzo. A body of 3,500 Austrians entered Siena on the 20th with a field battery. A column of the legion of GARIBALDI had appeared in the vicinity of Mont Oliveto Maggiore, 20 miles from Siena. GARIBALDI has published a proclamaticn announcing that he has come to deliver Tuscany from the invasion of the barbarians, and to save the Italian banner. This proclamation has found its way among the people notwithstanding the Government has prohibited its publication. _ _ The Tuscan Monitore of the 23d states that GARP. BALDI'S men make incursions between Montepulciano, Cetona, Foiano, and the neighbouring places. The main body occupies Montepulciano, and is stated at 4,000 men. At Cetona GARIBALDI took several priests as hostages with him. A strong corps of Austrians of the brigade of Lichtenstein, coming from Umbria, entered Cetona on the 20th. Other troops have been sent to surround him, and to defend Purto S. Stefano and Orbetello. The Milan Gazette of the 22d states that a rumour is current at the Neapolitan frontier that- GARIBALDI had embarked for America under favour of a disguise, and that the bands now on the Tuscan Appenines merely keep up his name as a sort of prestige. General D'ASPRE has published a proclamation at Pistoria, dated the 1 1 th, ordering the general sur render of arms, in consequence of a horde of rebels, enemies of order, having quitted Rome and taken refuge in the mountains to commit every crime. Whoever refuses to give up his arms is threatened with every rigour of martial law. A second procla mation, by the same, dated Florence, 15th instant, informs the inhabitants that a great number of arms, instead of having been given up, have been concealed, probably with hostile intentions, and that conse quently, at the expiration of twenty-four hours after the publication of this proclamation, domiciliary visits will he made, and any person found in posses sion of arms, shall be judged by court•martial, and shot within twenty-four hours. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY was expected to arrive in his dominions on the 22d or 23d inst.

It appeared that he had been called upon, as assignee, to execute a deed of re lease, but declined doing so, except under the advice of an attorney. He took legal opinion, signed the deed, and now sought to bo paid the bill, amounting to 51. 17s. His HONOUR said it was a very complicated ease, and it was wise to take advice, but he did not consider he had any power to direct payment of costs for legal advice to an assignee, who, when he accepted the office, took all the responsibility. After, however, consulting Mr. Campbell, the registrar, his Honour said that, looking at the peculiar circumstances of the case, he would make an order for payment. MA RLBRO'-STREET- 7 (THIS DAY) Out of more than 40 charges be'fore the Court this morning there was not cne possessing the least public interest. Drunkenness is evidently on the increase in this district, as out of the above number of charges there were no less than 25 drunk and incapable. The re mainder consisted of vagrants charged with begging, and who were severally committed for 7, 10, and 21 days to the House of Correction. Row.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE. There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool en Saturday. The sales were 6,000 to 7,000 bales, includ ing 500 for export, and 1,500 on speculation. The transactions included 5,000 American, at 4d. to 6id.; 150 Bsbia, at 5-id. to 5441.; 600 Egyptian, at sbd. to Sid.; 300 Surat, at 30. to 4d.; and 100 Sea Island, at 10d. to Is. 6d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares but a limited business was done, and prices had a livelier tendency. In the Corn market to-day wheat is dull at barely previous rates, but oats are dearer. The 'arrivals of wheat are 11,419 quarters, and of oats 16,075 quarters. The writer in iris's Birmingham Gazette, upon the Staffordshire iron trade, states to-day that:— " The observations offered a fortnight since upon the precipitate movements at the late quarterly meetiings have been fully borne out by the results. A few days' reflection sufficed to convince both manufacturers and pigmakers that the unusual figures then resorted to were not only hastily adopted, but so far below the dictates of common prudence, that, if persevered in to any extent, immediate and unlimited ruin must en sue; and when it became generally known that orders in request for actual consumption were being kept back under the expectation that feelings of alarm might, in some critical situations, induce submission to still more humiliating offers, a reaction began to set in, which by the end of the following week had established a return towards the nominal prices of at least 10s. per ton, and in some cases a little further than that. Nail rods and merchant bars, that were to be bought freely daring quarter week at from five pounds to five guineas, can now scarcely be had under 51. 15 e . or 61., though the demand is not very lively. In finer qualities, charcoal, and best best iron, where no such obsequiousness was exhibited, a rather animated business is being done, and at fair quotations. In hoops and sheets the demand is slack, and prices have not fluctuated to the same extent. Pig Iron is worth about five shillings per ton more, end holders now seem careless to part with their stocks, though the generality of their sales have not covered their probable make for the quarter, nor are the manufacturers well provided. Shropshire houses have maintained their quotations with fircanese, and orders are plentiful. The workmen have fairly returned to their- employment under the re duced scale of wages, after partial exhibitions of reluctance from the thick-coal colliers; and although upon the whole the Staffordshire trade now occupies, and still must for some time retain, an unsatisfactory, because an unreinunerative position, its gloomy aspect seems brightening a linty, under the revival of encouraging reports from the new gold region, assisted by the expectations of a gradual resto ration to quiet, and consequently to mercantile pursuits, as near at band among our continental customers, the prevalent impression being that the lowest point is now reached, and that, with a slight improvement in the public feeling towards railway investments, a new pe riod of prosperity would commence." The express with the overland mail brings no very important news upon the subject of the markets. Indigo at Calcutta was held too high. In imports there was scarcely so much doing at any of the presidencies, but an early revival of activity is speedily looked for. The letters and papers by the steamer from America have been delivered in duo course this morning. Upon the state of the markets for produce the accounts are favourable, cotton being firm, and flour in fair req ues t. 0 wing;to the large imports of foreign goods, estimated at more than three millions of dollars, at New York during the week ending the 13Ai instant, the rate of exchange on Europe is expected decidedly to advance, although it was kept in check by very considerable in vestments in American State Stocks for English account. The quotations of public securities were rising, but this was only for those of the first class. During the week, to the 12th inst., the exports from New York to all fo reign ports were 814,000 dollars ; and it will be seen, therefore, how large was the balance against America. The dry goods constitute one-half of all the imports, and whether the British manufacturers are not over-forcing the trade remains to be seen. It is gratifying to learn that the public health of Quebec had decidedly improved the day prior to the date of our adviccs. The Flour Market was rising. In exchanges a limited business was done at 101 to 101 per cent. premium for 60 days' Bank-bills in London. Vessels fit to carry flour and grain were much inquired for, but shippers did not seem disposed to advance rates, and seeking ships prefer loading timber cargoes, small vessels having obtained as much as 375. per load for outports. Flour per barrel to London 3s. 9d., to Liverpeol 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6d, and to Glasgow 3s. 6d to 3s. 9d. The crops in the eastern townships were suffering severely from want of rain, and the woods at the back of St. John had been on fire for some days, causing considerable damage. In the Qeebec forest districts, also, the fire raged extensively, the heat having been greater than for 50 years—viz., 98 degrees in the shade for several consecutive hours. It was much cooler, however, after a thunderstorm on the 13th inst. There had been a slight disturbance at Quebec, but it was not of a political character, and related to some cholera regulations. We observe nothing new from Mexico, the dates not being later. At Venezuela a revolution was expected about the sth inst., the Government being very un popular. From the Continental Stock markets there is no marked change advised. At Amsterdam there was less doing. Notwithstanding the favourable intelligence of the settlement of the Austrian and Sardinian affair, there has not been any impression produced upon the Funds. On the contrary, they are again flatter, the business doing being very limited. Consols have ranged from 924 to 93 for Transfer, and from 92i to 93-k for Account. Tho New Thres-and.a-Quarter'per Cents. have been on to .14, and the Three per Cents. 924 : to 9s. Exchequer-bills are 48s. to 515., and India Bonds 84s. to 85s. premium.

Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 30 to Mexican are firm, though quiet, at 27 to . Equador are 3i Brazilian New Stock is 78k, and Peruvian 51. Dutch Two-and-a Halt per Cents. have been 51i 4. The Railway Share Market is very dull, and the set tlement is chic fly attended to. Caledonian have fallen to 23k; Eastern Counties are at a reduction to 8i /-; North Western have been rather heavy, at 132 to 132; South-Eastern has been and since 21* ; Midland is at 654; Great Western (New) are 11 i; York and North-Midland are down to 30k. The Account seems Bullish. The Foreign shares have been without parti cular alteration. Joint-Stock Bank shares are in favour. ONE O'OCLCK.

Not w ith s t an di ng t h at the number 0' samples of both red and white on offer was comparatively small, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, owing to the readiness evinced by the importers of foreign t ° make sales, and the favourable accounts received fro° the provinces respecting the general appearance of the growing crops, was in a very dull state, at prices bare l 7 to those paid on this day se'nni g ht, and at whi c ,, a total clearance was not cffeettel.

Another arrival of preserved meat, consistingl 19 cases and 8 casks, has taken place from Sydney. supply of Stock by se a f rom I re l an d d ur i ng t h e week ha s been confined to 50 Oxen and 108 Lambs. The numbe rs of foreign Stock on offer this morning were s eason' ably good; but the general quality was not q uite equal to that observed last week. There was a considerable increase in the arrivals of beasts fresh up for this morning's market, especially from the North of England. At least three-fourths of them wer e of full average quality.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam' bridgeshire, we receive.' about 1,200 Scots, Short -horns, and Home-breds ; from the northern counties, 1,200 Short-horns ; from the western and midland counties, 300 Herefords, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 210 horned and polled Sc ots• The numbers of Sheep were large, even the time of t!ll year considered. A few of the primest Downs sold Wit_., difficulty, at prices about equal to those obtained la week—viz., from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs ; but all o thet breeds were a very dull sale, at in most instances a fa ll in value of 2d per Sibs. With Lambs we were well stir. plied. The demand for that description of stock vis!', heavy, at barely stationary prices. The sale for Ca ly —the supply of which was tolerably extensise --w " heavy, at late rates. The Pork trade was in a very oltir gish state, at last week's quotations.
