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 scatbless. 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, or permitted to suppose that such an outrage could be committed with impunity, 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 endn gered the public peace, who, armed with dea a dly . weapons, assembled together for the purpose of i n suiting and alarming their neighbours, and between others whose excited passions, and perhaps in some degree well-grounded apprehensions, led them into crime. ...__,".W.SPATIER deeply to be regretted that the salutary - L p hibiting party processions of every de has been suffered to expire. It is lippotal to calculate the serious consequences occa sioned Cy these ridiculous and most impolitic exhibi -• tions.,:it is not merely the injury to person ur pro pert), ttat occurs during the conflicts that almost 1 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 1 f 1 •:;'::---'t 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, or, perhaps, more formidable outrages growing out of the transaction, and not for having merely joined in the procession ; hence they could not but believe that they were fully justified in yielding to their own desire and appearing in arms on the appointed day, believing that those who inter 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 was supposed 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 brougbt 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 he 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 followirg 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 th.it 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 be the most important object of our Asso ciation, viz., the substitution of direct for indirect I taxation." 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 value was that it gave a death-blow to the principle of monopoly. It affirmed the great doctrine that " the many should not be taxed for the benefit of the few ;" but that doctrine is still 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 these are still heavily taxed. The hard Working sempstress is still compelled to pay 800 or 900 per cent. on the tea- that enables her to keep her eyes 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 an 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." THE 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 discussion on the Bill M. DUFAIIRE 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 Legitimatists 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 PRESIDENT;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 Ham, and accordingly, to appease the Legitimatist susceptibilities, the follow ing appeared in the Moniteur 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 respects 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 find 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 tho reactionary party already squabbling 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 RULHIERES ; to Al. DUFAURE, the Minister of the Interior, those of Public In struction and of Public Works, in the absence of M. DR 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 four days. General DE GRAMMONT has been elected as repre sentative for the Loire, and MM. ECRASSERIAUX 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.. LITOR. 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 on which he will be prepared to enter into a discussion on the affairs of Rome. M. DITARCOURT, 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. 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 Presse 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 appre 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 toimpose on Piedmont, there is one 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 conception; but, i n th e 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 Austria, and to the detriment of France, and it is there fore 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 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.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN 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 the part of the Schleswig- 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 P A SKEWITCH stated that he.had dispatched General RUDIGER, at the bead of a '' lar , 7e 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 PASKEIVITCII. The Wiener Zeitung of the 25th says— " The 3d army corps which pursued the enemy to Balsam Gyarmath has been since the 22d in G. iingyos." RUDIGER, therefore, has been completely beaten. On the 19th he was 30 miles to the north of Wait zen, 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 PASKEWITCII'S high road from Pesth to Dukla. The official paper adds: — "The further pursuit towards Miskolez has been un dertaken by General Sass." The Wiener Zeitung of the 24th announces that the 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 PASKEWITCU is worse than was that of the Austrian army under WINDISCEIGRATZ. The Breslau Gazette of the 26tkinst. says— . "By intelligence from Hungary of the 20th inst. we learn that Georgey and Dembinski have joined their forces in the rear of Prince Paskewitch. The Russians lost six thousand killed and wounded in the affair of Waitzen. The battle lasted two days. There were 120 pieces 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 centre of Hungary. Klapka defends Acs; Georgey and Dembinski, with 80,000 men, defend from Ypolsak to Tokay, Ucsay, and Guyon. Three corps of the Hungarian army are beyond the Theiss, near Sznolnok and Pesth. They have been compelled to turn nearly all the churches and public edifices into hospitals for the wounded Russians." . - The Agramer Zeitung of Semlin, July 18, de scribes the battle fought between HLYGES and ToroLA as follows : " As the Ban, on the 14th instant, ordered his troops to advance at midnight against the enemy, and had dis patched a brigade against their centre, he was unex pectedly attacked towards the morning, on both flanks, by a vigorous cannonade. The brave Croats, the men of Piret, and the Walmoden Cuirassiers, fought with the courage of liens, but were obliged to give way before the superior force of the enemy; and there was great slaughter on both sides. " It is said tha'. Bem and Perczel led on their troops in person. The Bin soon perceived the treachery, and sounded a retreat immediately, in order that they might occupy again the positions which they had before the entrance into Busks. _ . "It is also said that the plans of our army were betrayed to the enemy by a certain Captain Georgievie, of a German Banat regiment, who kept up a correspondence with spies from Belgrade, and Magyars from Pancova. He has been arrested along with a Honved 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 Austrian military from their allegiance to their beloved Monarch. The Ban has retired to-day from Titel, and crossed the Danube to Ruma." As the Agramer Zeitung is the organ of the Ban of CROATIA, the above may be considered as the BAN'S own account of his defeat by BEM. 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 JELLACHICU, and now that he is de feated, we should not be surprised to learn that some " transaction" bad taken place between the Magyars and the Sclavonians. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. Accounts from Schleswig-Holstein state that the following persons were proposed to form the Provi sional Armistice Government of Schleswig :—For Prussia, ADOLPHE VON MOLTKE (member of 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 P.arrTwlTz from the command of the troops, who have been ordered to evacuate Julland, and occupy Rendsburg, of which fortres s G enera l K amm has been appointed Governor. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JULY 27.—At the opening of the sitting of the Secor . id . Chamber of the States General on the 25th, the 51thister for the Colonies communi cated an outline of the official report transmitted by General Micinul-s, .Commander -in-Chief of the ex pedition against Kali. He stated that the inhabitants of Boloing bad submitted to the Netherlands flag, and had expelled their Raja ; that the Raja of Kurang Assam, iu the Island of Bali, had been as sassinated by his subjects, who bad 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 th e point of marchirg 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.

UTRECHT, j9LY 27.—0 n the 24th there were 43 new cases; deaths, 31 ; total number of deaths, 12,5. On the 25th there were 55 new cases; deaths, 34. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The Brussels papers men tion the intention 0 4. the ex-King of the French, Lours 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 Duroun, in consequence of the violation by a number of Hessian 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. t A letter of the 24th, from Turin, states that the peace with Austria bas 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 Members having been elected. Intelligence from Milan confirms the statement of the conclusion of a definitive treaty of peace between Austria and Sardinia. The news from 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 and punished according to the rigour of the laws. Art. 3. The armed force is directed to enforce the execution of this decree. Everibody is informed that particular instructions have' been given to ths gaud force on this subject. " Given at the Palace of the Government on the 18th of July. " The Prefect of Police, L. ROUSSEAU." By a decree of General OuniNoT 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 MM. 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 HOLINESS 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 proclamation 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 GARI 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 Porto 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 11th, 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 be paid the bill, amounting to 51. 17s. His HONOUR said it was a very complicated case, 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'-ST REET—(THIS DAY.) Out of more than 40 oharges before the Court this morning there was not one possessing the least publi c interest. Drunkenness is evidently on the increase in this district, as out of the above number of charges there w ere 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. ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY.—We understand some very important statements with reference to the condition of the Highland peasantry, the progress of improvement among them, and the necessity for its extension will be made at the meeting, in the London Tavern, at one o'clock to-morrow, of the London Branch of the Royal Patriotic Society of Scotland. Sir James Duke, Kut., M.P., the Lord Mayor, is to preside, and as the Corpora tion of London have lately taken up the question of im proving waste land in Ireland, an outline of what has already been successfully begun in the West Highlands of Scotland, cannot fail of being extremely useful and important. The Society's model cottages will be dis played and explained, and as several gentlemen who take an enlightened interest in enabling the poor to help themselves will address the meeting, we trust a numerous auditory of ladies and gentlemen will assemble to demonstrate their sympathy with the Gad, whose achievements recently in Lord Holland's Park attracted such multitudes of the btav, monde. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. 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 6kd.; 150 Bahia, at 58d. to 4d.; GOO 'Egyptian, at sd. to 8, 1 2 -d.; 300 Surat, at 30. to 4d.; and 100 Sea Island, at 10d. to Is. Gd. 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 Aris'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, ia.mediate 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 fie ely during quarter week at from five pounds to fire guineas, can now scarcely be had under 51. 15s. 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, sad holders now seem careless to part pith their stocks, though die 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 firmness, 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 unremunerative position, its gloomy aspect seems brightening a little, 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 I 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 due course this morning. Upon the state of the markets for produce the accounts are favourable, cotton being firm, and flour in fair request. Owing:to the large imports f foreign goods, estimated at more than three millions of dollars, at New York during the week ending the 13th instant, the rate of exchange on Europe is expected decidedly to advanc e , 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 I 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 clay prior to the date of our advices. 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 Liverpool 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6d, and to Glasgow 3s. Gd 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 soma days, causing considerable damage. In the Qcebeo forest districts, also, the fire raged extensively, the heat having been greater than for 50 years—viz., 98 degrees in the shade tor 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. Consuls have ranged from 924 to 934 for Transfer, and from 92;k to 934 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 93'1 to 94, and the Three per Cents. 924 to 93. Exch,quer-bills are 48s. to 515., and India Bonds 84s. to 85s. premium. The arrangements for the settlement of the Foreign Account have been in progress to-day. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 18-4 ;4, and the Three per Cents. 34k, being firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 30 to 4. Mexican are firm, though quiet, at 27 to q. Equadur are 3-k I. Brazilian New Stock is 782, and Peruvian 51. Dutch Two- and-a Halt per Cents. have been 511 The Railway Share Market is very dull, and the set tlement is chiefly attended to. Caledonian have fallen to 23k; Eastern Counties are at a reduction to 8i North Western have been rather heavy, at 132 to 1321; South-Eastern has been 214, and since 214 ; Midland is at 64, ; Great Western (New) are 17k i; York and North-Midland are down to 304. The Account seems Bullish. The Foreign shares have been without parti cular alteration. Joint. Stock Bank shares are in favour. BRITISH FUNDS 11115 DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Letters from the leading country markets, held on Saturday, state that a very inactive demand was expo' rienced for Wheat, on somewhat lower terms. Spring Corn sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Our continetal advices are to the effect that a steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry has prevailed for,Whe a t an d Fl o urfor slur ment to England. From New York we learn that, some days prior to the 17th instant, rather a firm demand bad existed cn English account, at improved quotations. vg to our market last week the arriv a ls of a ll kinds et English, Irish, and Scotch Grain were on a very limiter' scale. The foreign imports amounted to 11,419 quarters of Wheat, 3,635 ditto of Barley, 16,075 ditto of Oath 805 ditto of Rye, 3,077 ditto of Beans, 411 ditto of NA, 651 ditto of Tares, 2,381 ditt o o f Li nsee d , 147 d i tto or Rapeseed, 306 do. of sundry seeds, and 3,191 sacks of Floer• The quantity of Wheat of home produce received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise as well as 11 land carriage and sample, was very moderate, but of flair,. average quality. Notwithstanding that th e nu m ber or 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 to make sales, and the favourable accounts received from the provinces respecting the general appearance of the growing crops, was in a very dull state, at prices barely equal to those paid on this day se'nnight, and at Whic h a total clearance was not effected. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreig n Wheat, the arrivals of whi c h s i nce t h e returns were WO' up on Saturday have been small. Selected sainfl were mostly held at prices fully e qua l t o th ose 'obtained last week, at which, however, very few t ra nsaction , took place. Damp and otherwi se ou t o f con diti o n Per o eels were somewhat lower to purchase. Floating earP e d dull. The show of Barley (which was w h o lly co mpose t of foreign samples was small ; h ence th e d eman d for the article was tolerably firm. In p r i ces , h owever , we halo s no advance to notice. Althou g h th e su pply o f Malt very small, that article moved off slowly at barely stationary prices. The supply of h ome - gro wn 0 . 1t 5 was trifling in the extreme ; that of forelle very moderate, as the deal e r s were an°!l„,f short of stock.
