remarkable particular, the local government of Hungary is conducted by the people, whilst in Austria the whole machinery of Government is conducted by boards of commissioners, who are responsible only to the Govern ment, and not responsible to the people (Hear, hear.) So that, while in Hungary the people are educated to government in their county meetings, and in other meetings by which local government is carried on, in Austria, there is no such education, and all energy is crushed by the host of officials who are employed by the Government. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will only detain you while I mention what appears to me to be a little error fallen into by a speaker who preceded me, and who said that at the beginning the Austrian Government meant well. beg to refer you to a work which is of standard autho- ' rity on all questions relating to Hungary—to Mr. Perkins's " Travels in Hungary and Transylvania." That work was published ten years ago, and there that author very distinctly states that all those great ques tions of reform, extension of the suffrage, equalization of taxation, perfect religious tolera tion, all those measures • carried under the government of Kossuth in 1847 and 1848, were then contended for by the liberal party in Hun• gary, but were uniformly opposed by every possible means and intrigue by the Austrian Government. — (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will not detain you further, except by moving this resolution, and assuring you how heartily I wish, as I am sure you wish, that the noble exertions of these patriotic men may be crowned with anecess.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. PowELL seconded the resolution, and it was car ried unanimously. Mr. P. BENNETT moved that this meeting views with lively satisfaction the determination of the Ottoman Government not to allow the Russian troops a passage through the Turkish territory. Mr. PHII.PIPS seconded the resolution, and in doing so, he took occasion to denounce the Times as an enemy to freedom, a curse to the country, and a scourge upon the poor man, whom it was always vilifying. It was a dis grace to a nation boasting, as it did, of being the freest, the most enlightened, and the most liberal in the world; and if he were not out of order, he would move a vote of censure upon the editors and proprietors.—(Cheers.) The Cuentatale intimated that something of that na ture could be moved presently. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. \VILsoN then moved " That the thanks of this meeting are justly due, and are hereby given, to the Liberal press who have so generously and nobly advo cated the cause of Hungarian independence. And this meeting utterly repudiates the and-national doctrines promulgated in the Times newspaper against the Hun garian nation, believing them to be contrary to the feelings of a large majority of the British people." No thing could be more detestable or more derogatory to the interests of the press than the conduct of the Times towards Hungary.—(Cheers.) But while he said thus much, it was his duty, as it was his delight, to point out a paper which had really stood forward in defence of the rights of man and the cause of Hungary.— (Hear, hear.) The Sun bad acted a glorious part in this struggle.—(Cheers.) It had not only writ ten in a graphic spirit on behalf of the Hungarians, but it had lent its aid to get up a most excellent and muni ficent subscription on behalt of some Hung arian refugees, who had sought shelter in this counry.—(Cheers.) That subscription had been of great use to those brave and gallant men ; and no friend of liberty, no man who valued political freedom, or religious toleration, ought ever to forget this splendid and generous advocacy of The Sun.—(Cheers.) Mr. MANNING was delighted in having allotted to him the task of seconding this resolution, but, with the permission of the meeting, coinciding, as he did, in every word they had just heard, he would beg to extend the same weed of praise to the Weekly Dispatch and the Standard of Freedom —(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried by acclama tion, three enthusiastic cheers being afterwards given for The Sun. Mr. Wu.so& then produced a copy of the Times, which he proposed should be burnt, a proposal which met with some slight objection, and a remonstrance from Colonel Reid that it was folly to follow an example which history taught them had sacrificed the innocent and not the guilty. The great mass of the meeting, however. insisted upon Mr. Wilson's suggestion being adopted, and the paper was set on fire amidst three dismal groans, the Chairman observing, as the flame blazed up and illuminated the room, that the paper burning contained the very articles which misrepre sented the proceedings at the Marylebone meeting. A memorial to the Crown, praying her Majesty to in struct her Foreign Secretary to recognise the indepen dence of Hungary, and an address to Kossuth, were then adopted, after which a unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the Chairm in, and the meeting, which was most numerously attended up to the clase, broke up.

A very extraordinary Proceeding has been taken respecting a very e - t —O . LA MONTES, Countess of L x tt ra r linar Y Person 1 GEORGE TRAEEORD HEA nSieldtllvh°rece ntl . Yrtiarried ar street Police- Life Guards, was yesterday Lb ' 'Each of d h er lit bigamy, and conveyed to Marlbo e r s o t u e gh " a charge court, where she was held to bail in the for her appearance to answer, the in of slice.. charge on a future day. It appears that the lady—then ELIZA ROSA AN NA GILBERT —was married in the month of July, 1837 , to THOMAS JA MES, Esq., a lieutenant in the 21st Regiment of Bengal Native In fantry, and that she shortly afterwards accompanied her husband to India, from whence the returned to this country in the year 1841. Proceedings were shortly afterwards taken in the Ecclesiastical Court, and a decree fur a divorce a mensa et Mora was pronounced in the year 1842. Since that period no intercourse or communication of any kind took place between the parties. The lady entered upon a theatrical career, and attained great influence over the then King of BAVARIA, who conferred upon her the title and estates of Lsnsfeldt. She returned to this coun try in the early part of the present year, and on the 17th of July last was married to GEORGE TRArroR D HEAL D, Esq., a gentle man of large fortune, who only attained his majority in the month of January last. Yesterday morning the lady was arrested when getting into her carriage, and conveyed to the police station, no pre vious notice or intimation of the charge having been given to her or Mr. HEALD. The prosecution was instituted by the aunt and former guardian of Mr. HEALD. That gentleman not only did not complain, but, on the contrary, appeared to be greatly annoyed at the course adopted. During the entire investigation he exhibited the utmost tenderness of manner and devotion to the ac cused party. He, at least, was not deceived in any , particular. At the time when he entered into the con nexion, he must have been fully cognizant of the former marriage, and of the various incidents of the eventful career of the lady ; indeed all the circum stances had long been matters of public notoriety, and it would be difficult to find a person who could justly plead ignorance of them. Now, in the beginning, there are two parties in jured, who have a just right to claim redress—the first or the second partner. It is a formi dable crime, and one which the interests of society require to be visited with severe punishment where some artful and designing man betrays a young and innocent female, and blights the prospects of her future life. A female can never recover her former position in society ; she is literally sacrificed, and if possessed of any fortune, that also falls into the hands of the betrayer, to whom, probably, it formed the chief incentive ; she can scarcely hope to form an honourable alliance, and her condition is truly pitiable. The deserted wife, too, will have just grounds of complaint. She may be left in distress and poverty, unable to provide food for the unfortunate children of the marriage. The person, whose offence occasionssomnduicohamssisrearvya,teids justly subjected to stri n g ent pena lty, a cases may be transported i be a y m t a beyond are,seas however, invariably years. Any mitigating circumstances invariably taken into account, and if the conduct of the first wife deprived her of sympathy, and the second was at all cognisant of the circumstances, and not deceived by false pretences, the punishment is merely nominal. The offence however, is by no means of so heinous a character when the alleged bigamist is a female. The injury to the second husband is by no means so grievous as it must necessarily be to the second wife. His future prospects will not be in any degree damaged or im paired ; he can easily form another alliance, and the former void marriage will never be regarded as a shame or reproach. The former husband is the only party really injured, and he must come into court with clean hands to entitle him to public sympathy. Now for eight years past there has been no correspondence or connexion of any kind between Captain JAMES and his wife. In 1841 he relinquished her society, and the following year he obtained a divorce in the Eccle siastical Court, which, although not a vinculo matri• monii, or such as to warrant the parties in again en tering into wedlock during each other's lives, still made them cease to have any interest in, and to be perfectly indifferent to, the acts of each other. Under such circumstances, when Mr. HEALD was not deceived, and when Captain JAMES bad no locus stank in court, the offence, even on the very case made for the prosecution, would be of the most trivial character. The lady asserted that a full divorce was obtained, of which Lord BROUGHAM was cognizant. If so, the charge would of course fall to the ground, and the parties would have just cause of complaint on the unwarrantable proceedings that were taken. But, were it otherwise, we venture to say that no public prosecutor would think of sending such a case to trial. The punishment would be merely nominal even if a conviction could be obtained, whicb, in the absence of any proof of communication for seven years, would be more than doubtful. When, therefore, a priv ate party, influenced solely by personal motives, chooses to step forward and to exer cise a power which should only be permitted on public grounds, no extraordinary favour should be shown ; the case should be clearly and unequivocally made out to justify a remand, or the holding the accused to bail. In the present instance there was no legal evidence of the former marriage—no evidence that the Countess was aware of the existence of Captain JAMES, nor was it even shown that he was alive at the time of the recent marriage. The only scintilla of testimony on this point was, that on the 13th of June the name of a Captain JAMES appears in the effective list of the 25th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry. It is not shown that it is the same person, and even if it ware, there is no knowing that he survived the casualties to which military men in India are espe cially liable until the 17th of July following. The charge, then, being of so trumpery a character, with so many mitigating circumstances, and in the absence of all legal proof of the commission of the offence, the case should have been dismissed by the magistrate. Another illustration is thus afforded of the evil working of the present system, and another proof of the necessity for the appointment of a duly qualified public officer, whose sanction should be necessary to the institution of any criminal prosecution. Does the stage exercise a beneficial or a pernicious influence upon the community ? Is it an intellectual benefactor or a perverter of public morals ? This by no means unimportant question has this month occupied the attention of the Eclectic Revitv, a periodical generally remarkable for ability and liberality. The result of this consideration is a sweeping condemnation of theatres and theatricals individually and collectively. The article in question asserts as an established fact that " the influence of the stage has been and is adverse to morality," and, in cor tion of this assertion, bids us " interrogate the unfortunate outcasts that throng our streets, or the youths that crowd our hulks and penitentiaries, and they will tell us that their ruin was begun and completed in the theatre." Supposing this to be a fact, how, according to the Eclectic, is this state of things to be remedied ?—by the total suppression of all theatres! "We have no hesitation in saying," ob serves the writer of this article, " that the licensed theatres of London do more to deprave the popula— tion than all its churches and chapels do to reform it. Her MAJESTI'S Government professes to be inter ested in the suppression of juvenile delinquency. We believe their professions. Why, then, are the theatres licensed, when it is an ascertained fact that they are the chief sources of juvenile criminality ?" Now, while we deplore as sincerely as the most anti theatrical of reviewers the evils which are mixed up with the many noble characteristics of the drama, we differ entirely from the proposed suggestion. Ac cording to this theory, if every system not wholly perfect is to be doomed to entire annihilation, what human institution can be preserved ? It is surely a wiser and a more Christian course to reform rather than to destroy. Granted that some, unhappily too many, individuals derive evil instead of good from attendance at the theatre, because their corrupt nature entirely perverts the purpose of the institu tion, is it not so with all things ? Does not the very press itself, the noblest and most valuable of all human contrivances, does not the printing-press, in the hands of some depraved wretches, produce the most pernicious effects ? But, because we have bad booksathre.k to moat exaaneud the effectual n pyoisonous, pu blications, shall we put an end for ever to types and printing - presses ? The cases is a m co parallel. t r a rm y, oso mo ral the V l m h andad at are rev e a intellectual th e rightly emtepalcohyeerd.

The true ably wins the hearts o f the "gods ce ” of self, invari ably is it nothing, am ong men like these °I th e ga ll ery. sympathies, too much concentrated , that their on self, and their intellects habitually crushed by the pressure of con flicting circumstances, should for a brief hour be called forth, and given a new impetus and a new vigour ? The delicate occupants of the private boxes may look upon a play as an amusing pastime ; to them, perhaps, it is nothing more. Their minds and tastes are daily feasted and refined by intellectual intercourse, by the perusal of the thoughts of master-minds, and by th• continual enjoyMent of divine sounds at the opera-house or the concert-room. The theatre might be for ever closed, and their intellects lose nothing. Very different is it with that large and unhappy class who have "the brain seared, the heart riven" by the threefold bondage of ignorance, sorrow, and sin. And yet these illiterate "clods of the earth" thrillingly respond to the genius of &AMPERE j these callous hearts weep over the woes of DESDEMONA, and burn with indignation at the iniquities of Exuma.. Considered . thus, the stage is, and might be yet more so, a potent helper in the regeneration, moral and intellectual, of the multitude. Still we confess also, and with profound sorrow, that the stric tures of the Eclectic are in a measure justified. REFORM has ere now sought the stage (vide the Anti- Corn-law meetings) to make herself heard. Let her, then, in gratitude for the triumphs there so signally achieved, leave behind some traces of her footsteps. The nation has recently been agitated with the ambition of purchasing the house Of SHAXSPERE. Let us remember that our theatres are the true house of &AMPERE—Iet us make them worthy of so honourable an inhabitant. Thus shall we worthily signalise our national appre ciation of the greatest of Englishmen, and thus shall we derive the fullest benefit from the rich legacy he has bequeathed us. Reform is better any day than destruction. We would not have the door of one theatre closed, but we would have every theatre worthy of its appellation—the Temple of the Muses — the Muses whose attractions are ever worthless when unaccompanied by the Virtues. How is this desirable end to be attained ? The numerous cases of alleged poisoning that have been tried in different parts of the country during the present assizes show the fearful extent to which that most horrible crime has recently been carried. The details of an ordinary murder case are sufficiently sickening; when we find a person influenced by a desire of vengeance, or, perhaps, by a more sordid motive, wilfully and deliberately planning the death of his fellow-man, and coolly watching the death pangs of his victim, a feeling of inexpressible horror arises, we cannot sympathise with the blood-stained assassin. Notwithstanding the natural repugnance to capital punishment, we recognise the justice and expediency of the law that declares " whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed"—that pronounces the life of the murderer to be forfeited, and that the extreme penalty of death can alone ex piate his enormous guilt. But there is something peculiarly harrowing when poison has been selected as the instrument of death, when the sanctity of the domestic board is invaded, and the fatal cup adminis tered by one loved and cherished, in whom the utmost confidence is necessarily reposed. There is a deep and deadly treachery that excites the utmost loathing and abhorrence ; we cannot adequately express our indignation at the crime, or our detestation of the offender ; we cannot conceive how guilt of so heinous a character could enter into any mind, however depraved, or by what motives the offender could be influenced. The most sacred duty of life is violated, and the object to be attained is generally of the most trivial and paltry character—indeed, in the majority of in stances, the mere love of crime, the feeling of the Thug, who described the intense rapture with which he beheld the expiring struggles of his victim, can alone be assigned as' the cause of that offence. In the common class of cases the victim is usually either the enemy of, or at least a stranger to, the murderer. Some fancied wrong or indignity nerves the arm to the fatal blow, but in cases of death by poison, the injury is inflicted on the nearest and dearest. The husband perishes by the hand of his wife, of one who had sworn at the altar " to love, honour, and obey him." The mother takes the life of her own offspring without the slightest remorse, and if impunity should attend the earlier offences, the fatal practice is resorted to again and again until detection. Three cases have been tried during the past week, of wives for poisoning their husbands, and two convic tions have been obtained. We shall not now dwell on the particulars of the evidence where the jury felt themselves justified in giving the accused party the benefit of the doubt. She had ever lived on the most affectionate terms with her unfortunate husband; the arsenic (the poison usually administered) had been openly purchased, and the jury believed that it was possible that the deceased might have taken the fatal draught by accident. But the circumstances of the other cases are worthy of notice—not for the purpose of gratifying a morbid and depraved taste, but of considering whether some obvious precautions might not be adopted to check the crime that has unhappily become so prevalent. In the Coventry division of Warwickshire, MART BALL was tried and convicted of the murder by poison of her husband, THOMAS BALL. The prisoner, it appeared, had purchased one pennyworth of arsenic for the alleged purpose of killing bugs. It waa sold to her openly, and with out any difficulty or objection being made. She had, it appeared, acquired a dislike to her hus band, and an unfortunate attachment towards another man. The means of his removal were in her hands ; the carelessness of the chemist from whom she had purchased the arsenic, acted as a temptation, and the wretched woman yielded thereto. The poison was administered, but in so bungling and careless a man ner that the cause of death was obvious to the most superficial observer. The husband was cut off without time for preparation, and the still more unhappy wife is to expiate her awful guilt upon the scaffold ; and these are the consequences of the undue facilities that exist for any person obtaining the most subtle and deadly poisons without check or restraint. In sen tencing the miserable woman, the Learned Judge declared that " he was willing to believe that the poison was bought innocently, and that she had suffered her mind to become familiarized with the idea of using so deadly an instrument." Could a stronger illustration be afforded of the absolute necessity of some legislative enact ment prohibiting the sale of deadly poisons, except on the prescription of a medical practitioner, or on the authority of a magistrate or clergyman ? The case of MARY ANN GEHRING, who was found guilty at Lewes, for the Guestling poisonings, a full report of whose trial appeared in our impression of Thursday last, is of a still more appalling character. In her case it was not a solitary victim, nor was there any attachment to another party, or jealousy on the part of her husband by which she could be actuated ; not only did she deprive of life the father of her children, the man to whom she had been for many years united, but she also deliberately sacrificed two adult sons, and attempted the life of a third. The only motive that could even be suggested for this manifold criminality was, that she might obtain the insignificant sums payable by the burial club to which her husband and children belonged, on the death of members. A few shillings only could have remained available after defraying the necessary ex penses of the funeral (51. 3s. 4d., it appeared, was the entire sum paid on the death of each victim); and yet for that paltry consideration she sacrificed the lives of those by whose labour and industry herself and family were maintained, and brought upon herself the awful vengeance of the offended law. In this instance also we find the same carelessness as. to the sale of poison. During the past year she purchased arsenic on no less than seven different occa sions ; thrice at the shop of one chemist and four times at another, and there .was not the slightes concealment or attempt to avoid notice on any occasion. It will, therefore, be manifest that it is not sufficient that a chemist should personally know the person desirous of purchasing poison, or some party by whom he or she may be accom panied. Poison should not be entrusted lightly to the hands of ignorant persons who might apply it to an improper purpose. It should only be delivered on the order of a physician or magistrate, and then with such distinctive marks that its deadly nature should in every instance be immediately perceptible that the chances of its being taken by mistake might be greatly diminished, if not altogether removed. Mea sures should also be adopted for regulating the prac. tice of burial clubs, which have unhappily been found to act as such incentives to the crime. As the Chief Baron justly remarked in his charge to the grand jury, at Lewes, " It there be guilt, the payment by the burial club appears to be the cause of that guilt, or at least intimately connected with it; if there be innocence, it seems to be the foundation of an unjust charge." Under any circumstances it appears to be productive of the worst consequences, and it is there fore essential that the matter should be strictly inves tigated, and that suitable enactments should be passed to mitigate the growing evil._ THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following article, which appears in the Con stitutionnel, on the subject of Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S letters on the state of the English navy, is well worth attentive perusal : "England does not limit her ambition to the possession of a fleet capable of meeting all the eventualities of war and contending with honour. Her colonial position, her commerce, and the duty of maintaining her high poli tical influence in the world, render it necessary for her to keep up en overwhelming navy, which will not per. mit any Power to conceive the possibility of contending with her at sea. What have we seen just occur? France has been compelled to interfere in Italy between the Pope and his subjects. An army has been sent by her to Civita Vecchia. With the aid of our steam frigates 30,000 men, with a considerable materiel, have been transported in a few days from Toulon to this Roman port. That has been done with out embarrassment, without noise, and so rapidly that the inhabitants of Civita Vecchia were ignorant that an expedition was fitting out until they saw it appear in their port. This result, which does honour to use activity of our navt , has not escaped the atten tion -of England. An examination has taken place as to what are our means of transport. A list published of our navy has been seen to contain fifteen steamers of 540-horse power, two of 540, and one of 650—capable of carrying two thousand soldiers, and, in case of need, towing another vessel carrying an equal number. The English then threw their eyes on their own steam navy. They perceived that their war steamers—much more numerous than ours —were not altogether superior• in force. This equality is but apparent, and yet this appa rent equality has thrown England into a state of uneasi ness. The resentment expressed against those who have allowed Englatid to be humbled to this pretended equality, has been so violent as to threaten the stability i .if one of the institutions which appear the most stablein England—the Board of Admiralty. Sir Charles Napier, exaggerating the real 5i,;...,..,t0f things, does not even admit equality between the steam navies of the tw o countries. According to his account, England has only guns; sod a t n h d e t T he er o ri d b i l n e : o o f f 5 8 6 0 0 0 - e nr o i r e se three steam-frigates, the Sido n , b u ilt a ft er hi s own carrying n n 2 s 4 . p p o o lv w er e , r' w All the rest, be says, whatever may be their tonnage and their horse power, are incapable of carrying sufficient guns with the necessary quantity of coal, and have no accommodation to carry 2,000 troops, however urgently required. In order for this reasoning to possess any weight it must be prose d that all our steamers of 450- horse power and upwards possess the qualifications which Sir C. Napier considers as indispensable. Unfortunately that cannot be dose. Under any circumstances that would not give to that part of our fleet any superiority over that of Great Britain, or even place it on an equality with her. It must be considered that the bases of that part of the naval establishment of France are the trans- Atlantic steam-packets, the construction of which was ordered under the Ministry of March 1, 1840, for the two-fold object of employinT, them in commercial navi gation and reserving them, in case of need, as men-of war. Beyond those, our merchant marine has not a single steamer capable of being converted, in case of need, into a vessel of war. Our fifteen or eighteen steam frigates constitute all our steam navy, How different is the situation ct Great Britain? The English commercial marine possessed on the Ist of January last 1,113 steamers, meaiuring together 150,541 tons. Out of this number 35 are of the same dimensions as frigates, 67 are from 600 to 1,000 tons each, and 173 are sufficiently large to carry swivel guns, such as those used by the war steamers. The owners of these vessels are bound in case of war to place them at the disposal of the Go vernment, and it has been proved by a recent in quiry before the House of Commons, that the crews, including the engineers and stokers, would in the event of the country being threatened, readily enter into the service of the State. England, therefore, cannot conceive the slightest apprehensions on the subject of her independence. To admit the possibility of a sur prise from the French army, we must suppose that it must be landed on the English territory without any previous declaration of war. The English, it is true, did not give the Danes any previous notice when they bombarded Copenhagen, and took possession of the Danish fleet; bnt France does not act in that way, and under any circumstances it would be difficult to assemble 30 steam-frigates and 60,000 men at Cherbourg without its being known. A surprise would, therefore, have little chance of success. As to the definitive issue of a war of that kind, the glance which we have just thrown on the reserves of the English navy make it evident that it would not be favourable. No one in France dreams of such a thing, and Sir C. Napier must allow us to say that his alarms need not be very great." The sudden announcement by M. PASSY, the Finance Minister, of his intention to contract a loan, appears to have created some surprise on the Bourse. His intention to do away with the juggle of a sinking fund meets with general approbation. The iTloniteur publishes a decree, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, summoning the Councils- Generals to open their session on the 27th instant, and to close it on the 10th of September, throughout the departments of the Republic. The Councils of each Arrondissement are to meet on the 16th of September, and to continue their sittings for five days. It is announced that a camp is to be formed in the department of the Upper Rhine, and to be composed of the sth division of the Army of the Alps. The mu nicipal authorities of the town of Thann and Cernay, in whose neighbourhood the camp is to be placed, have offered to pay the expenses of the indemnity de manded by the proprietors of the land to be occupied by the troops. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has addressed the following letter to General OUDINOT : My dear General,—l am glad to be able to congratu late you on the success you have met with in entering Rome, notwithstanding the powerful resistance of those who defended it. You have preserved the character of your arms. I beg that you will mike known to the gene rals who were under your command, and to the troops in general, how much I have admired their perseverance and courage. I hope that the sanitary state of your army will continue good as it is at present, and you will soon be able to return to France with honour for our army and with advantage for our influence in Italy. Re ceive, my dear General, the assurance of my sentiments of esteem and friendship, _ __ "LOUIS NAPOLEON."

GERMANY AND • THE NORTHERN STATES , AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Accounts have been received from Vienna .to the Ist of August. Official accounts had been received of the defeat of the Russian General USTRAGOFF by the Hungarians, of his retreat into Moldavia, and of the fact that the Hungarians had followed him into the Principality, from which they intended to expel the Russians. '1 he Camarilla of Austria is exceedingly irat e a t th e reception given in England to the Hungarian envoys, and its members endeavour to vent their impotent malice by refusing the Austrian visa to any English passports except those given by the Foreign-office or by the Austrian Lega tion. The same course has been pursued with regard to United States passports. Russia has adopted measures of a still more stringent character, and no Englishman or American citizen is permitted to cross the Russian frontier. It would not, perhaps, be amiss if Lord PALMERSTON were to retaliate by putting the Alien Act in force against the various Austrian absolutist refugees who have abused the hospitality of England by intriguing with the English Tory Peers against the Government of the country which has afforded them hospitality. We should have no objec tion to see the same measure meted out to METTER NICH which he so long meted out to others. in number. They have been obliged to have recourse to their cannon, and the Pacha has sent to demand as sistance tram Bosnia. Unhappily, the Government of Bosnia is unable to comply immediately, bung obliged, in the first instance, to pr, cure orders from Con•tar.- tinople. Dlahoteed Bey aid Effendi Bey have fled to OAro.ca, where th , y have entrenched theta elves. A fine has been set upon the head of Feria, the prin cipal of the insurgents. An attempt has already been made to assassinate him, which, however, proved abortive. Accounts have been received from Wallachia and Moldavia at Constantinople. Sickness and famine prevail to an awful extent throughout those princi palities. The track of the Russian army is marked by the ruins and i•moUldering remains of entire towns and numerous villages. All the crops have been trampled down by the Muscovite cavalry, and the putrid bodits of the slaughtered inhabitants by the road side have brought on a pestilence. Com merce is at a stand, and the merchants are all bank rupts. Petitions are daily pouring in upon the Sultan and his Ministers, who send them on to the representative of the Czar, but no attention is paid thereto. The Turkish army is kept upon a war footing, and should the Magyars given the Russians and Austrians a severe check, there every hope that Turkey will juin them in expelling Russia from the Principalities. ... 7 ... o ... o o •• • 0 ... 44 ... 23 ... 18 ... 0 ...135 ... 8 ... 0 •.• 5 ... 21 •• • 0 ... 0 ... 0 ... 12 IT A_ L Y. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 28th ultimo. Monsignor D'ANDREA, Archbishop of Meletene, has been named by the POPE Extraordinary Com missioner for the Provinces of Ombria and the Patri mony of St. Peter. The Roman Journal of the 26th ult. publishes the following letter addressed by the Sultan ABDUL MEDGID 10 PADRE ARSENIO, Superior of the Arme nian monks : 6. We have been apprised that the Armenian Catholic monks of the order of Anthony, established at Rome near the Vatican, and esteemed for a length of time amongst the most faithful subjects of our, empire, are us ing every effort in their power to procure their co-reli gionists, our subjects, the advantages of education and morality, the toundation of wisdom and happiness. We have spontaneously sent to the said monastery the por trait of our person, our Imperial cypher, and our Imperial standard, to give them a proof of our satisfaction and of our special protection.": Monsignor BEDINI, Pontifical Commissioner Ex. traordinary for the Four Legations, published the following absurd and tyrannical notice at Bologna, on the 2Eth ult.: "All discount on the exchange of any description of .paper money is prohibited. Anybody violating this no tice shall be punished by a fine of not less than five crowns, or more than 100 crowns, to be applied to the :purposes of the Treasury. Should the tran , gressor be not a trader, he shall be imprisoned for a period of not less than one month, nor more than two months. The 'directors jf the police are strictly recommended to take measures for the prompt execution of this command, and to receive all intormation offered to them, so that the transgressors may be punished with all the rigour of the law." Accounts from Bologna of the 30th state that the municipal council of that city had pronounced itself unanimously in favour of the maintenance of the con stitution in the Roman states. In consequence of this act the Papal and French authorities had resolved to dissolve the council. A report was current in Florence that GARIBALDI had defeated a large Austrian corps which had at tempted to arrest his progress . He had afterwards, it was said, marched slowly in the direction of Ri mini, whilst the Austrians were occupied in burying their dead. CRICKET.-(THIS DAY.) SURREY (WITH BOX AND HILLYER) V. ENGLAND.

For the pur cl'ase of this island it is proposed to raise a capital of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. tontine shares, each shareholder to appoint a nominee, and the whole body of nominees to be in sured out of the rental, so that, as they lapse, the shareholders will receive back the amount of their subscriptions. A decennial division of the accumulated rental to be made amongst the shareholders whose nominees survive, and the last surviving share holder to become possessed of the whole estate. The projectors are a number of merchants and bankers of Glasgow, and, uniting as it does the cer tainty of life assurance and the excitement of the lottery, being, in fact, a lottery in which while it is impossible to lose it is possible to win a high prize, we cannot doubt of its popularity. The advertise ment, which appears in another column, fully explains the scheme.

There was a vary snti‘e demand for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, and prices were a shade higher. The sales were estimated at 14,000 bales, 5,000 of which were Liven fk , r export and sly eulation.—Railway Shares were quiet, but prices were firm. The letters and p pers by the Niagara steamer, have been delivered to-day, and and a few items of news to what has already been published. The demand for ster ling bills of exchange was moderate, and the rates were a little lower than by the previous packet. Ile am , unt of United Srates' sock issued to f,reigners, for the week ending the 20th ult., v , as 179,000 dollars. The value of the merch•Aidise imported , nto tha Nen York district, except that sent to the warehouse, and the amount of duties received during the week ending the 19th ult., was as loilow: 1847. 1848. 1849.

Whether the said fall trade will take off the very ample supplies trom Euro; e, remains to be seen. From what we glean the railway companies of the States have in many instat.ces been as badly manag•-d as the local banks, or perhaps a more fitting comparison would be, with some of our own undertakings; nor shall we be surprised to hear very shortly of committees of investi gation being popular on the other site of the Atlanlic. Messrs. Ross and Charlton, of Quebec, write concern ing trading matters, that— " As our produce trade in the west is gradaally in creasing in magnitude and importance, we have deter mined on issuing our circular weekly during the business season, for the information of our friends in Upper Canada and the United States, as well as to send by the English mail on each Saturday. This must eventually become the shipping port for the greater portion of the produce of the country bordering on the lakes, and we have to notice daily with pleasure the arrival of sailing and steam-vessels, with full cargoes, direct from ports on the lakes, and most of all which, we are happy to say, have got remunerating freights upwards." Government has reduced the toll on Wheat passing through the Chambly Canal, Indian Corn, Barley, Rye, Oats, Potatoes, Beans, Seeds and vegetables of all kinds, trom one halfpenny and a farthing per bushel to one eighth of a penny. Accounts of July:s, from Venezuela, state that it is re ported that General Peez had agai❑ disembarked at Coro, for the purpose of meeting President Monagas. Dates from Hayti, of July 2,atfirm that the monopoly law having been re-established caused much dis satisfaction, and a new revolution was expected. The weather was excessively dry, and had done much harm to the crops. In Ecuador provisions were very scarce. Lima dates are to the 12th May. Very stormy discussions were expected in the Senate, owing to the determined oppo sition existing to the administration of General Castillo, whose Ministers are accused of tyranny because they had exiled many r anks of note who were considered to be implicated in a conspiracy. Bolivia was unsettled, General Belzu's pronunciumento against Velasco having caused excitement, especially as the latter was supported by Ballivian. _ _ - The Continental advices advise steady markets gene. rally for public securities. At Hamburgh on the 3d instant there was a decline of in the rate of exchange on England, viz. to 13 9. The Funds were quiet. At Amsterdam the Three and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 52i 9-16 in the subscription rooms on Sunday. The tendency was more favourable for Spanish Bonds. The cholera continued bad in various parts of Holland. At St. Petersburgh, on the 27th ult., the general export trade was brisker, and higher rates were paid for some articles. Freights, which had been very low, were im• proving. The general aspect of the Stock Market here is still exceediugly passive, there being, in fact, very few parties here to deal. The French loan also will have some in fluence, but it is sincerely to be hoped that it will not be taken here, although we fear, from the abundance of money, that efforts will be made to push some of it upon the Brizi,h public. Consols have realised V2i 4, but are now rather buyers at the latter quotation. The New Three-and-a garter per Cents. have been 93i to 4. Exchequer bills have been 48 to 51, and India Bonds 81 to 84 premium. The foreign market is steady, the chief transactions being in Spanish Five per Cents., at 18i to 19f Brazilian old bonds have realized 851. Mexican Stock has been 27 to 27*, and Venezuela 26. Dutch Two and a-flalf per Cents. have been marked 521 to I. Railway Shares are very heavy again, and nearly all lower, chiefly from want of business.
