_ 4.4 btrb bttton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. AUSTRIA and HUNGARY. The Vienna papers publish the proclamation which the Austrian Commander- in - Chief, General Ilaynau, has addressed to the inhabitants of Pesth, on the occasion of his leaving them to hasten to the rescue of the Ban of Croatia : " TO THE INHABITANTS OF BUDA AND PESTH. After several victories, which the Imperial arms have obtained over those of the traitors, we are again among you. We have again planted the Imperial standard on your steeples. But our feelings are far different from what they. were when we left you a short time ago. Doomed to death is every person, no matter of what rank or sex—doomed to instant death, on the spot of the crime, is every one who dares to assist the cause of the rebels, by words, or by deeds, or by revolutionary dress; doomed to instant death is every one who dares to insult any of my soldiers, or of those of our allies; doomed to instant death is every one who enters into traitorous oommuaication with the enemies of the Crown, or who nialicioraly presumes by rumours to assist the rebellion, or to conceal weapons." CENTRAL GERMANY, The Kolner Zeitung states that his Highness the Regent John was expected to arrive at Frankfort on the 26th of August. His Highness is to be accom panied by an Austrian army of 10,000 men. The same paper gives a list of the sums which the various states of Germany are still owing to the Central Power. The whole of the sums amount to 8,894,000 florins, of which Austria owes 4,194,000 florins ; Prussia, 1,800,000 ; Bavaria, 1,296,000; Wurtemberg, 149,000 ; Hanover, 52,000; and Saxony, 465,000 florins. BADEN. The German papers give the names of the leaders of the Badish insurrection that have been captured at Rastadt. Among them are—Messrs. Tiedmann, Anneke, Biedenfeld, Corvin, Boning, Welker, Reiter, and Elsenhaus. A court-martial of Prussian officers was preparing to sit on the 20th inst. The sentences of this court were to be executed immediately after judgment had been given. Letters from Manheim state that that city is the scene of disgraceful affrays between the Prussian and Bavarian soldiers. POLAND. Letters from Warsaw, of the 25th instant, in the German papers, announce the arrival in that city of his Majesty the Czar, accompanied by Count Orloff. TURKEY. - The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has letters from Constantinople of the 11th inst., stating that the re lations of Turkey with Hungary are beginning to assume a more friendly character than they have hitherto had. A large Turkish army is being con centrated between Semlin and Orshova to protect the frontier against the Imperialist armies, and to disarm the insurgent Bosnians. IMPERIAL PMMIAIVIENT.

The Earl of lIARROWBY presented a petition from the West India planters and agents complaining of dis tress, and praying tor the exclusion of all sugars what ever, win-a er free labour or slave, except British Colonial West India:i sugar, from the British markets. The West Indian colonies were suffering from the want of labour, and he thought that to remedy this want they ought to enable the planters to enter into contracts for longer periods than for one year whit the immiurant black labourers. It was very true that a suns of money amounting to 500,0001. had been voted last year for the relief of the West India colonists ; but it was advanced upon such terms as to preclude the planters from deriving any advantage from the grant. Had it been advanced upon such terms as the loans had been advanced to English and Irish landed proprietors for drainage they might have derived some advantage from it, and he hoped that next session it would be proposed to loan out the money to West India proprietors upon the same terms as money had been loaned out to Env.,!ish end Irish proprietors. He would not erne upon their Lordships to r(-impose the differen• ti_l duties on sugar. Earl UREY said the Act strictly prohibited the Go vernment from advancing money to individual West India proprietors, and ho should hold out no hopes that the law would be altered. He thought also that the system of long contracts with labourers would be injurious; but he was not prepared to say that the contracts should not be entered into fur longer periods than one year, provided such contracts were not entered into corn , pulsorily.

" Believe me to be truly yours, " WILLIAX FAGAN. "The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Cork." Very extensive preparations are being made by the Committee for the arrival of her Majesty. The Com mittee has 1,0001. at its disposal, which is to be expended in the erection of triumphal archesstreets through which the Queen is expected to pass, he in the fitting up of the Custom House, where the steamer will lie, and in providing a steam-vessel for the Corpora tion to pass up and down the river. It is expected her Majesty will arrive in Cove on the night of Sunday the sth August, and come into the city the following day. Mr. Fletcher has got an order to ornament the Custom House, under the directions of Mr. Benson, C.E., the entire northern quay of which is to be covered with scarlet cloth, and the shed to have an ornamental archway. There are to be seven triumphal arches in the streets—one crossing from Warren's-place to Anglesea bridge; the second from OH George's-street to Tuckey street ; third, across the entrance to Great George's street; fourth, on Western-road, near George IV. bridge; fifth, across western entrance of Patrick-street; sixth, in centre of Patrick-street; and seventh, at Patrick's-bridge; the Dyke is to be strikingly °maul( nted. It is hoped that her Majesty will consent to the route suggested by the Committee—to land on the north quay of Custom-house pass through southern gate to Lapp's-quay, along South Mall, Grand Parade, Great George'a-street, Western-road, Dyke, Mardyke-street, Great George's-street, Patrick street, Merchant's-quay, and back to Custom-house. Five hundred tickets are to be issued to ladies for admissioninto the Custom -house to witness her Majesty's landing. It is intended that the Corporation proceed to Cove in a special steamer to accompany the Queen up the river, and on landing a procession in carriages will then formed. A naval officer was in this city yesterday, making arrange ments for telegraphing the arrival of the royal yacht off the harbour. There was a meeting of the magistrates yesterday to adopt measures for the preservation of the peace, which was attended by county-inspector Fox and sub-inspector Walker, at which it was resolved to draft 200 police from the county into the city force of 112. The general of the district has issued orders for the marching of two regiments of infantry into the city, as the entire;a route of the procession is to be lined on either aideythee military, and every effort will be made to prevent one are lettingmoving of spectators. The houses along the their windows at high rates, ranging from 101. the single window, downwards, according to position. A letter has been received in at present in London, who has had the city from a gentleman of royalty. tunities of know zytalty. He professes ing somewhat of the proceedings r3of certain Cork to write for the purpose of allaying upon them on folk, who expect that titles may be tit e r i t t the auspicious occasion. lie says that ' i s t t etiquette for Majesty to confer knighthood except 8 a n t o l e that barunetcies are only conferred upon recommenda tions tions of Ministers, and granted by letters patent, the taking out of which is rather expensive. Some anxiet3 is at present evinced by members of the Corporation in respect to the position Lis Worship the Mayor will be enabled to take in the procession. The Corporation de clare that the Ma) or is entitled to immediately precede the Queen, but it appears that T. Ronayne Sarsfield, Esq., High Sheriff of the city, has claimh to that p ld ositio in r, on the ground of his a ncester, sliarsfie, be g chief standard- bearer in Ireland to Henry 11. The ques tion will have to be decided at the proper office in London. —Cork Constitution. ROYAL VISIT TO KILLARNEY.—Captain Beechy, arrived in Cork yesterday from Bristol; and it is re.

On Wednesday morning last, a little before four o'clock, a collision of a serious and destructive character occurred on the North Union line of railway, about 300 yards from the Golden Hill station, at Leyland. The circumstances connected with this accident, as far as we have been able to ascertain, are nearly as follows: — Captain Laws, one of the managing directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway, who is at present re siding at Lytham, being labouring under severe indispo sition, a messenger was dispatched to Manchester to secure the professional services of two eminent medical gentlemen of that town. A special engine and carriage were immediately got in readiness and dispatched. On their return, on Wednesday morning, and when at the place above alluded to, the engine and carriage, from some yet unexplained circumstance, were thrown from their position on the line, and across the down line. A train of trucks, all laden with goods, was coming up at the time towards Preston, and the driver did not perceive the obstruction before a concus sion was inevitable. He and his attendant saved themselves by jumping from the train, and in a mo ment or two afterwards, the whole of the carriages were a complete mass of splinters: the engines, too, we are informed, have sustained considerable damage; but it is gratifying to be able to announce that the accident has been almost unaccompanied by personal injury, only one of the persons above alluded to having sustained a slight shock, from which he speedily recovered, and was soon enabled to prcceed on his journey. Some conception may be formed of the violence of the shock, when we state that the ground was literally ploughed up, and the hedges, on both sides, for a considerable distance, completely swept away. We have heard various con jectures as to the cause of the special train being thrown out of its position; but the most probable that has been suggested to us is the rapidity with which it was pro ceeding, combined with the circumstance of there being only one carriage connected with it, thereby rendering it more light and easy to be dislodged. Persons were immediately dispatched to warn the in coming trains of the circumstance, and little inconveni ence, beyond the delay of some of the trains, was thereby experienced. —Preston Chronicle. THE LATE BALLOON ACCIDENT. The accounts given in the papers of Thursday, de tailing the mishap that befell the veteran aeronaut, .Mr. Charles Green and his companions, give but a faint id i ea of the escape of the party, more particularly of Miss Gascoigne, himself.

The balloon, on being relieved of the weight of the other gentlemen, ascended like a rocket, and for a few seconds the party were entirely unconscious of their situation, or of the tate of the gen tlemen who had fallen from the hoop; and their sus pense was truly painful. Mr. Green, sen., whose coolness never forsook him, and to whose nerve, promp titude, and experience must the safety of the lives of the whole party be attributed, opened a bottle of sherry, and presenting a glass to each of his fair com panions and the gentlemen, exhausted a bumper to the success of their trip, and to " absent friends." The toast was heartily responded to, and preparations were now commenced for a descent on the first convenient site pre senting itself. At about a quarter to nine o'clock, and after travelling nearly an hour, the balloon was safely anchored in a clover field, not at Eritb, as previously stated, but on the opposite shore at Purfieet, where thousands were ready to lend their aid. The party, after partaking of refreshments at a hotel in the vicinity, re turned to Vauxhall-gardens in an omnibus about two o'clock on the following (Thursday) morning, when they received the congratulations of their friends and the vi sitors. Mr. Green seemed to have sustained a severe shock, and it was stated that he was suffering from an internal injury, having been violently thrown against the edge of the car when the balloon struck the house tops, and falling on his side bruised his ribs, which some years since were affected by an accident. During his journey home he was very sick, and his appearance indi cated that he was in great pain. Mrs. Green also seemed to be very ill; she had received a slight abrasion of the skin on the side of her face. Miss Gascoigne had a wound on the forehead, occasioned by the grapnel, and Mrs. W. Green had one of her hands much bruised. PARLIAMEN TA RY DIVISION. FRIDAY, JULY 27. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. Question put to disagree with the Lords in the omission of Clattses 16, 17, 18, 19.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BLACYWALL RAIL WAY.—On Friday morning, shortly before twelve o'clock, an accident of a most frightful nature, and which termi nated fatally, occurred on the Blackwell Railway, near the West India Dock station. It appears that for some time past a man named John Lakey, a stonemason, and several other men, have been engaged in clearing out the ditches which run alongside the railway at Poplar, by the direction of the West India Dock Company. On that part of the railway the dockyard is contiguous to it for some distance, and to approach the ditches the men had to walk upon the line. Yesterday moraing, at twenty minutes to twelve o'clock, Lakey was proceeding along the centre of the line between the two lines of railway, in company with the foreman, to inspect the ditch near the station, when the train which was then due was perceived coming towards the West India Dock station from Blackwell. The engineer on the locomotive saw the deceased, and in stantly blew his whistle to apprise him of the danger he was in. The unfortunate man turned round and saw that the engine was close upon him, and in stead of stepping on to the line, out of the way of the engine, he suddenly jumped upon the rails which the train was on. The act was so sudden, that before the engineer could stop the engine it struck him on the breast as he turned round, and forced him down upon the rail. The whole of the carriages which are generally very numerous, passed over his head and chest and killed him on the spot. The guards belonging to the train instantly ran to the place, and beheld a shocking spectacle. The head and face of the man were cut into several pieces, and the brains were ex posed and strewn about the ground. His chest and body were also cut open, and entrails were laid bare. His legs were not injured, but the other part of his body was literally smashed to atoms. A shell was obtained, and the remains of the unfortunate man were collected and placed in it, and removed to the dead house, in Poplar, to await a coroner's inquest. The deceased had been out of work for a considerable time, and had only latterly obtained employment. He has left a wife and five young children, who were entirely depending on him for support. BEN-NEVIS.—Up till within the last few days (when mists returned), the weather for some time proved singularly favourable for the ascent of this giant of the mountains; and the clear sharp outline of Ben and its neighbouring brothers was unmarred by a single passing cloud. It fortunately happened, also, that a large number of tourists had arrived, who enjoyed to its fullest extent the grandeur of the view to be obtained from the lofty peaks of Ben-Nevis. From ten to twenty ascended daily, and no donbt they will long remember their suc cessful ascent, and will often dwell in fancy on the un rivalled scene extended at their feet, smiling under a sky almost Italian in its softness and beauty.—lnverness Courier. _ _ THURSDAY'S STORM.—During the heavy shock on Thursday, a man, named Catly, residing at Leytenstone, Essex, went to an out-house to feed a calf, when both he and the animal were struck by the electric fluid, and wereinstantly killed. The stream by which he was struck, judging by the time, was part of the discharge which killed the poor man, Johnson, in West-street, Whitechapel. At the same time, another man was struck dead in Tyso-street, Bethnal-green. He seemed at first only dazzled with the flash, and staggered on a few paces, when he fell headlong, and was picked up a corpse. A very scandalous sort of traffic is being carried on in the case of the maa Johnson, in West street, whose person is exposed at a penny per head, to the lovers of the hi deous and the horrible. It is said that the father, who is the exhibitor on the occasion, has al ready realised upwards of 71. by this indecent and heart less exhibition. DEAL, JULY 28.—Wind W. to S.W., 29th W.S.W , Arrl.

Whatever ultimate importance may grow out of the success of the most reprehensible attack of the French on Rome, the A ustro•Russian invasion of Hungary is at present the subject of pre-eminent interest. It is no longer a question of whether the old tyranny of Austria could be patched up and het upon its legs again, whereby, according to the apprehension of some, that phantom for which we have squandered so many millions—the balance of power in Europe —could be maintained ; but whether Russia shall succeed in overwhelming the liberties of a large por tion of civilized Europe with a torrent of the most disgusting and atrocious brute force. The suc cess of Russia in Hungary would place all the so-called dominions of Austria, and in all pro- bability the whole of Germany, under a sys tem of Cossack rule, which must inevitably lead to revolutions and wars, in which little short of a miracle could prevent our taking a part. Russia is formed by nature to be a great country; it abounds in natural wealth, and its population is adapted for a peculiar phase of material civilisation. Furthermore, it has in Nicholas the advantage of not a bad speci men of the genus despot. He has muzzled and chained an aristocracy, who covered over the vices of civiliza tion and savagery with a varnish of French polish ; he has encouraged every branch of domestic industry : and lastly, by the emancipation of his serfs—which, by the bye, left him at liberty to do just as he pleased with them—he has laid the foundation of what, at some indefinite period, will be a middle class. These things, as far as they go, are tolerably good ; but they have been achieved and are sustained by absolute des potism. Nicholas is not a Nero or a Donaitian he neither delights in roasting Christians or skewering flies; nor does he, like Catherine, imi tate at the Hermitage the disgusting vices of Ti berius at Caprea. He has no love of crime for its own sake, but, true to the essential nature of a despot, he thinks it no atrocity, however grossly it outrages all law, human or divine, that answers his purpose, or promises to forward his ambitious schemes. human ne A ce e s - - s cording to a very comm on that ch a can viewof G ov ernment of bruta litymaintain order and progress amongst a half-civ• ilized people. We are no believers it o • but those that are rr.ust s i's h a e i ma n ny supposelh y e d oneo doctrine w trine , admit that, even when a t y rann y seems useful, it is seldom safe. Inde ed, histor y leads u 3 to su pp ose that revolution is the natural death of a despotism ; and so inevitable is the fatal tendency of crime to lead to crime, that we might almost add assassination is the natural death of a despot. The Government of Nicholas is a good despotism—as good as an essen tially bad and vile thing can perhaps be made ; but it is never safe, and always demands new crimes to protect its head from the conse quences of previous violations of human right. With greater ease could the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his sputs, than Nicholas, the despot, become Nicholas, the constitutional King. The difficulty is to remain what he is, while ideas opposed to his very existence as a despot are rife in the earth. So decidedly contagious and epidemic are the ideas of constitutional freedom, that the most rigorous system of political quarantine is needful to keep them out of Russia. Freedom in Hun gary, in Germany, or even in France or Italy, are plague-spots in the sight of Nicholas': they show the fatal march of—to him and to his system —the most fearful of all diseases. Better for him to behold his country suffering all the plagues of Egypt, than living in close neighbourhood and communion with a nation that is free. Hence the vast armies he has poured into Hungary—his mixture of force and fraud with the Porte about the governments of the Turkish provinces of the Danube. The light of liberty is an abomination to him, and it must be quenched in blood. We are not seeking to vility the wan, but we are describ ing the despot; and if our picture is black, be it remem bered that truth would demand far deeper shades to pourtray the lineaments of most others of his class. We have no desire to draw curses upon Nicholas, but assist to draw attention and execration upon a system of which he is the victim as well as the head. While the Emperor's minions are endeavouring, by brutal cruelty, to terrify the unfortunate population of Hungary, he himself publishes a decree that no university in Russia is to have more than three hundred pupils ; that no university is to take new pupils until its numbers fall below this limit, and then a preference to be given to those of noble birth. Knowledge is a very dangerous thing in Russia; and a few hundred pupils living together, and learning that nations have been free, and that some are en deavouring to imitate England in being freemen, is of so much danger to the state of Russia that it must be put down by special enactment. Rus sia flogs women —hangs patriots—stabs, shoots, and plunders, a nation with whom its only quarrel is that it loves freedom—proscribes learning, and checks education—all at the same time ; and yet this coarse brutal tyranny is allowed full sway, applauded by a large part of the English press, and, we fear, not at all discouraged in its atrocities by the Govern ment of this country. Honour to the editor and pro prietors of The Sun, who have started a subscription in behalf of the Hungarians at Folkstone, and seek, by articles of great ability and truth, to vindicate the cause of justice in Hungary, and to rouse the English people to a perception of their duties as inheritors of a freedom which they should endeavour to spread over other lands, and be ever ready to help all who writhe under despotism to achieve for themselves. We are glad to see that public meetings have begun to testify their sympathy with Iluogary, and we hope that such will be held all over the land. A nobler cause never demanded a more generous and extensive expression of sympathy and regard. The retreating movements of the Hungarian army have occasioned us no surprise. Attacked on all sides by forces much larger than their own, a diminution of the sphere of their operations was palpably necessary. It cannot be doubted that the condition of Hungary is one of great danger; but pretty nearly the same course would be adopted from policy as from defeat—namely, an avoidance of pitched battles, and a gradual retreat from what were their outposts before the commencement of the Russian invasion. So little reliable intelligence reaches us, that we cannot estimate either the precise amount of danger or the chances of success. In some in stances the Imperialists have doubtless gained advan tages ; but in the vicinity of Comorn they were clearly beaten, although the injudicious vehemence of the Hungarian artillery in pursuing too far led to the loss of some pieces of cannon. The Russians have been allowed to penetrate the passes of the Carpa thians, and march towards Debrecain , with certainly much less resistance than might have been opposed to them ; and the whole behaviour of the Hun garian troops seems to indicate some strategic plan, which is not yet fully seen, but which, and wh ere disadvantage. e ha we apprehend, consists in forcing the Imperialists to of lutvhn eep difficult rgcoravoni udnnedd cannot to t occupyobwbeiltal believe vnpeladctiehstar provisions, c h t eD s m at d r e e wh r b a with handsome means o f d e f ence, and shall be much surprised if th e R uss i ans d o not meet with serious obstacles i n t h e i r marc h towards that important pl a d e . I n th e a b sence o f sufficient informatio n , we can only speculate on the been t intention of the few moveme n t s w ith w hi c h we are acquainted ; and the retr ea t o f W e lli ng t on t o th e heights of Torres Vedras may be cited as a well known instance by which the appearance of defeat was, after a sufficient delay, changed to a course of brilliant victory. If we survey France, we see the people governed in a Russian fashion, having neither liberty of the pres s nor free discussion, which result is the plain conse quenceyswill the naturefi nd left i of their own folly. In Germany, the King of Prussia is succeeding in the fighting department, and exhibiting many Russian notions of liberty, placing all expression of opinion under the control of soldiers and police. It is quite plain this cannot go on for ever, but the way out of it is not yet visible. Italy still opposes grave difficulties. If a Russian policy is adopted with Rome, it must tend to weaken the position of Louis Napoleon ; and if his Ministers endeavour to be liberal, they will be committed to a quarrel of more or less importance with Austria and Russia. The proba bility is, that they will endeavour to steer a middle course, and by so doing offend everybody. There is some satisfaction in observing the reasonable course taken by Narvaez in Spain, where a little progress offers an agreeable contrast to the Russianising process go ing on in most parts of Europe; and it is remark able that this should take place while we have no ambassador at that Court. Notions of free trade and concessions to the liberal party have wonderfully pro gressed since the ignominious dismissal of Mr. Bul wer ; and in these economising times it might be worth considering whether we had not better let well alone, and make up the quarrel with Spsin without putting the nation to the expense of another embassy at all. In concluding our weekly notice of foreign affairs, we cannot help remarking on the late " foreign affair" transacted at the Old Bailey—we allude to the trial of Prince Granatelli and others for equipping a vessel against the Neapolitan Government. As the vessel was stopped, and the unhappy Sicilians obliged to submit to a renewal of misrule, this trial might ha ve been spared. It was obviously intended to annoy Lord Palmerston, as well as to exercise a little royal vindictiveness against Prince Granatelli; but thanks to the verdict, it has proved a failure. " The glorious uncertainty of English law" has, in one instance at least, been of some use, tnd enabled men to escape punishment who had incurred no moral guilt, which is more than we can say for their opponents and the precious witness upon whom they relied. Let us add, that we hope that many names from our own district will be added to those who have al ready contributed towards the subscription in aid of the Hungarian soldiers, so honourably and judiciously set on foot by The Sun.—North Devon Journal, July 12. • EVENING, JULY SO, 1849, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 28. CEYLON. (Continw , d from our Third Edition of Saturday.) M. DISRAELI said it was right they should Under stand how matters stood. He understood the Govern ment to consent to do what their representative on the Committee lied refused to do.—(Hear, hear.) Li,rd J. RUSSELL said he understood quite the con trary. His Hon. Friend the Under-S. cretary was quite willing to agree to the proposition of the Hun. Member tor Beverley. Mr. DISRAELI said he understood the proposition of the Hon. Member for Beverley in quite a different light from the Noble Lord. It was very important that this matter should be rightly understood. Lord J. RUSSELL--I have before stated that what we propose is, that the Committee should re-assemble and point out what witnesses they think it necessary to have examined next year; and at the meeting of Parlia ment next session, these witnesses should be examined. Mr. DISRAELI—That is precisely the proposition made in Committee, to which the Under-Secretary re fused to accede.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. lIUME said it was of great importance that both sides should be prepared for the re-appointment of the Committee, and with that view that the facts already ascertained should be made known to the public. He, therefore, begged to move, pursuant to the notice which he had given, that the evidence taken before the Seltct Committee be laid before the House. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the motion was not one that could be agreed to, after the motion of the Hon. Member for Inverness had been negatived. Mr. HUME said he would withdraw the motion for the present, but would bring it forward again_on Tuesday. RATING OF SMALL TENEMENTS.

MEETING OF THE ARCHZEOLO GICAL INSTITUTE. SALISBURY, THURSDAY.—Sir Stephen R. Glynne, Bart., presided at the sectional meeting held last even ing at the Council-house. The paper read consisted of an account of Fountain Abbey, Yorkshire (by M. R. Hawkins, Esq.), and of some extensive explorations now in progress at the ruins of the Abbot's house; and a paper by J. Heywood Markland, Esq., on some perforations in the walls of the church of St. Mary Ottery, Devon, which in this and other similar instances the author conjectured to have been made for suspending wax lights therefrom en high occasions. An interesting circumstance occurred during the meet ing, in Dr. Ingram, the President of Trinity College, Oxford, presenting Mr. John Britton, the venerable to • pographer, with a large bronze medal, bearing a head of Dr. Stukeley, and on the reverse a view of Stonehenge. Dr. Ingram stated that he presented it as a token of friendship, and in testimony of the great services Mr. Britton had rendered to archaeology. Mr. BRITTON said the gift was particularly valuable to him, us he possessed all the manuscripts, drawings, &e., collected and made by Dr. Stukeley relat.ve to Stonehenge, more than a century back. Mr. Britton also hinted that at no distant period he might present this collection to the Institute. We may also mention, in connexion with Stonehenge, that it was intimated to some of the members that Sir Edmund Antrobus had expressed an intention to replace some of the fallen stones. The sectional meetings were resumed this'morning at the Council Chamber, the Right Hon. the President in the chair. Au able lecture on the monumental effigies and sculp tures in Salisbury Cathedral. was delivered by Mr. R. WEST3IACOTT. He noticed that these interesting me morials here extend from the 11th to the 17th century, and include one of the most beautiful early monuments in this country, that of William Lenges*, Earl of Sa. lisbury, early in the 13th century. Protestor COCKERELL followed with a paper on a similar subject, in which he explained the mutilated re mains of statues outside the cathedral (where they had formerly been 160 in number), and also identified them as the work of British artists in the 13th century. Professor Weems then gave a most lucid and com plete account of the Cathedral, in all its details—fixing the exact time when the several parts of the body of the edifice were completed between 1220 and 1246; and also the period of the a Idition of the tower and spire, between 1330 and 1340. He also pointed out, with the assistance of drawings, the shameful spoliation committed by Wyatt and his employer, Bishop Barrington, in the middle of last century. The Professor afterwards accompanied the members through the building, further to illustrate his obser vations. At the conclusion of this lecture, the Bishop of SALIS BURY expressed, in warm terms, the obligations of him self and the meeting fur the valuable and original infor mation embodied in these lectures. SALISBURY, FRIDAY.—At the sectional meeting last evening the Dean of Hereford took the chair, and stated that the business to come before them would be confined to early and medieval antiquities. JAMES YATES, Esq., delivered a lecture on the in struments called cells, which are found in such abun dance, those discovered in the earlier barrows being formed of stone, and the latter specimens of bronza and iron. Mr. Yates's theory was that these instruments were identical with the dolabra3, and he cited passacos trom Livy, Quintus, Curtius, and Tacitas to show that from the time of Alexander the Great they had been used in 11 ar as chisels, mounted on the end of long staves, to pick down the walls of fortified places. Mr. Yates, however, admitted that some descriptions of celts were used for various domestic uses, as a spud, or smell spade, &c. In support of his opinion, he exhibited two drawings from the Assyrian marbles lately discovered Mr. Layard, in which soldiers are represented using a similar weapon in destroying the walls of a besieged city. He also stated that similar uses were made of the celt to this day in some parts of Iceland. Dr. JONES and Mr. J. N. KEMBLE strongly combated the opinion of the lecturer, on the ground that the size of the celt wholly unfitted it for such a purpose. The latter gentleman also referred to his researches in Scan dinavia, s,hich confirmed him in his opinion, that al though some use might be occasionally made of the celt is war, it was applied to a variety of domestic uses, as a chisel, a gardening tool, &c., being apparently almost the only implement in use among the early Celtic tribes. Used as a small axe, the celt might be a formidable weapon; but the small depth to which it could be affixed to a stick rendered it too weak for picking down stone walls, or even mounds of earth. Tne Dean of HEREFORD also differed from Mr. Yates, and contended that the three ages shown by the contents of the barrows—the first containing weapons of stone, the second of brass, and the third of iron—proved that the Britons did not know how to work the iron in their soil until the Romans came amongst them and taught them to do so. He thought the dolabra of the ancients were probably a sort of adze, or more probably the pickaxe. Mr. YATES, in reply, undertook to show that the ads' was a different implement, and bore a different name among the ancients. This morning the sectional meetings were resumed at the council chamber; the lectures being of the historical class. EDWIN GUEST, Esq., delivered a lecture on the early British settlements in South Britain, in which he en tered at great length into the progressive extermination of the native British by their Saxon invaders, and veri fied many important statements of the " Saxon Chro nicle" which conflict with Dr. Lappenberg's views of the first settlement of the Saxons in Britain. He also iden tified the town of Amesbury, near this city, as one of the three great Christian choirs in Britain, under Aurelius Ambrosius, and showed that the reference made to that locality in the most ancient Welsh records was not to the heathen monument of Stonehenge, but to the great Christian monastery at Amesbury. He also showed, by collateral evidence, that the Britons main tained their ground at Old Sarum for twenty or thirty years after all the neighbouring country was conquered by the Saxons. At the conclusion of the lecture, J. M. Kemble, Esq. (himself perhaps the first Anglo-Saxon scholar in Europe), pronounced Mr. Guest's lecture to comprise the most valuable and original chapter of early English his tory he had ever heard. J. M. KEMBLE, Esq., then gave a very long and in teresting lecture on tne origin of the Constitutions of Clarendon, and the life of Thomas it Becket. The con nexion of this great event with the proceedings on the Continent, when the Pope endeavoured to reduce the Emperor of Germany to the position of his vassal, was clearly traced. At the conclusion of this lecture the members pro ceeded to Wilton House, to inspect the valuable Pem broke collection of ancient works of art, under the critical guidance of C. Newton, Esq., of the British Museum. A splendid d6eune was provided at that princely mansion by the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, for their entertainment. CITY or LONDON SCHOOL.—On Friday afternoon the annual examination of the boys educated upon this foundation took place in the theatre of the institution, Honey- lane Market, Cheapside, before the Lord Mayor. His Lordship took the chair immediately after the pro ceedings at the hustings were closed. A large number of ladies, and about 600 of the pupils were present. In opening the proceedings his Lordship said, that Wgave him great pleasure upon tbat occasion to preside over a school so intimately connected with the interest of the city of London, as the City of London School. He had for some time noticed its efficiency, and his utmost desire was to witness its still greater prosperity. The Rev. G. F. W. Mortimer, D.D., the head master, having explained the objects of the institution, and given a sketch of its history since its foundation by Mr. Car penter, some centuries ago, declamations were delivered in praise of the founder ; that in Greek by William Lewis, Carpenter scholar; that in Latin by William Cornell; that in German by Stephenson Barry, Car penter and Beaufoy scholar; that in English by John Robert Seeley; and that in French by Andrew Richard Scobel, Carpenter scholar. The whole of these orations were much applauded. The scholarships with which the school is endowed and other prizes were then distri buted by the Lord Mayor. Thanks were voted to the Master of the School, Dr. Mortimer, and the examiners, after which speeches were delivered by F. Bennock, Esq., Richard Taylor, Esq., Mr. De Jersy and others. A vote of thanks was g i ven to t h e L or d M a y o r for his able presidency upon the occasion, and the assembly separated. OLYMPIC THEATRE.-111r.

The trade through out the week has ruled dull, the few transactions which occurred in flour being confined to good sweet descriptions, which put. chasers succeeded in obtaining on rather lower terms; whilst all stale and doubtful parcels were neglected, and nominal in value. A moderate consumptive demand has been experience d for oatmeal, and the little of choice quality on the market coif' mended rather higher higher rates. The imports into Liver pool consist of fair quantities of foreign and colonial wheat: beans, Indian corn, and barrel sour; but from our own coast and Ireland there are no arrivals worthy of notice. At our market this morning great inactivity prevailed, and wheat barely !UP' ported the currency of this day se'nnight. So little business was passing in flour that quotations are altogether nominal. If oats and oatmeal no material change was apparent. READING, JULI 28.—Wheat, per quarter,34s to 58s; bar' ley, 25s to 355; oats, 16s to 235 ; beans, 30s to 38s; pea s ' 30s to 38s.
