The arrests of GEORGE FREDERICK and of MARIA MANNING, the parties charged with the murder of PATRICK O'CONNOR, at Bermondsey on the 9th of August last, exhibit in the strongest point of view the efficiency of the English police for the detection of crime, and the absolute inutility of the abominable and vexatious system of passports adopted on the continent. Asthose persons have been made amenable to justice, and are even now awaiting their trials, we shall not at present say anything on the subject of their probable guilt or innocence. Their cases will be decided upon before a competent tribunal. Every fair and reasonable opportunity will be afforded of offering their defence to the formidable accusation, and it would ill become a public journalist to puejudge the casevor to bias or influence the minds of those who are to sit in judgment on the accused and to de eri - niae the awful question of life or death— a painful and ignornini')us death upon the scaffold. IL is, however, legitimate to prove from their examples bow utterly impossible it is for parties suspected of a serious crime to evade the close and unwearied pursuit that will inevitably be instituted, or to escape the avenging arm of the law. The passport system can only be justified on the single ground that it is essential to the safety of the nation, and that unless all were satisfied to submit to the annoyance and em barrassments incidental to the daily and hourly sur veillance gf the police, great criminals would escape the punishment they had merited, and justice would be brought into con tempt and disrepute from the comparative impunity that would be extended to guilt. If, however, it can be shown that under a more constitutional and less vexatious system there is an equal certainty of the detection of crime, the argument in favour of pass ports at once falls to the ground, and the inquisitorial praetice must be speedily and fur ever abolished. Another good result may follow the inquiry. We know that the certainty of even a minor penalty is more efficacious in the repression of crime than the possibility of the most severe and stringent punish ment where there is a reasonable chance of impunity. The case of the MANNINGS will strike terror into the hearts of would-be criminals, and convince them how utterly futile must be the hope of escape, when once the keen scented beagles of the law were set upon their tracks, and the warrant for their apprehension been handed over to the lynx eyed detectives. The first point worthy of notice is the detection lthe body of the unfortunate man O'CONNOR. No eyes, save those of the parties implicated in the crime, had witnessed the murder. The lifeless corpse had been cautiously secreted where it was supposed that it could never be discovered ; and from the quick-lime with which it was surrounded, a few days must have removed, if not every trace of the skeleton, at least the possibility of its identification, Nothing was known as to his fate. But from his unaccountable absence from business gloomy ap prehensions were entertained. A relative of the , deceased, accompanied by one of the detective police in plain clothes, called at the house in Minver-place, on Monday, the 13th August. The coolness of Mrs. MANNING for a time lulled the suspicions of the parties, but it was clear that the strictest search would speedily be made, and the female sought safety in immediate flight, leaving even her husband in perfect ignorance of her intentions. She fled to the metropolis of Scotland, vainly supposing that a journey of nearly 400 miles, and a change of name, would be sufficient to blind her pursuers. This was on Monday. The husband remained until the morning of the following Wednesday, in order to obtain funds for his journey by the sale of his furniture, Mrs. MANNING having carried with her all the available funds. That morning he fled by the South-Western Railway to Southampton, and thence t o J ersey th e same even i ng , w h e re for some days he also appeared to consider himself in perfect On Friday the di scov e r y t oo k pl ace . The flight of the parties, and the desertion of the premises revived and strengthened the sus p icions that had pre viously b een entertained, and a strict search was determined u p on . No mark arkwas apparent that could t lead a casual obse rver believe Th that any extraordi nary event had tak en p l ace. flag stones under Which the body was d e p os i te d hada been over e refully releid, and the entire floor had been rublied v hearthstone. The quick glance of " th e detective,'' however, discovered some sl;ght variation from the usual appearance. The cement between two of the stones appeared a little brighter and fresher than in the remain 16r of the apartment. This was sufficient to induce a closer search, and when on testing it with his knife it was found to be softer than the remainder, the awakened suspicions were almost converted into certainties. Tools were speedily obtained, and the quantity of mortar under the stone convinced him that it had not been deposited by a re gular bricklayer. The corpse was then discovered, and THE SUN, immedkte pursuit of the suspected parties resolved on. The following day the particulars of the murder and an accurate description of the persons, of Mr. and Mrs. MANNING were wafted on the wings of the press throughout the length and breadth of the land. Not a village or hamlet remained in which there were not persons who had read of the transaction, and were prepared to render their aid to the civil power, and to afford every information to the officers of justice. The cabman was first discovered who had driven MANNING through bye streets to the neighbourhood of the Waterloo terminus. This at once indicated the quarter in which the scent might be recovered, and LANGLEY and THORNTON, two experienced officers, were forthwith dispatched on his track. They had scarcely arrived when a telegraphic communication was received, that MANNING was supposed to be on board the Victoria American packet-ship, which had recently sailed from the port of London. It was found that she had passed Spithead, where she was expected to have remained for a short time. But such an obstacle was not permitted to impede the course of justice, and within a few hours the Fire Queen steamer was in rapid pursuit. The packet ship was soon overtaken, when it was found that the chase had been fruitless; that neither Mr. nor Mrs. MANNING were on board. Thi3 check, however, did not abate the ardour of the pursuit, which was speedily destined to prove successful. Mrs. MANNING, who was first captured, was doubly discovered. The cab, in which she was driven from her own dcor was soon traced out. It was thereby ascertained that she had gone to Edinburgh, and a telegraphic dispatch was immediately forwarded to put the police authorities on the search. She could not long have evaded pursuit, but by a strange com bination of circumstances the arrest had taken place immediately before the receipt of the intelligence. A perfect stranger, a stockbroker, had his suspicions excited by a visit from Mrs. MANNING, who made inquiries about the sale of railway scrip. He com municated those suspicions to the superintendent of police ; the pseudo-Mrs. SMITH was waited on, and her capture effected within four days after the dis covery of the body. The husband (MANNING) remained at large some time longer ; he had reached Jersey, Gu b e u r t n n sey not in undisco vered. vered. A girl who had seen him in last recognised him on board the steamer, and oh,hear ibg of the offence, communicated the fact to Mr. UrEassAacg, crown prosecutor, of Guernsey. That gentleman lost no time in forwarding the intelligence to Jersey, and every precaution was taken to prevent the escape of the alleged murderer. The Consul at Granville was communicated with, and means were taken to ensure his detention in the event of his reaching France. He, however, remained on the island, lying close in the house of an aged couple with whom he lodged. His sottish habits, however, led to his detention. The enormous quantity of brandy consumed led to inquiries by the vendor, whose suspicions being awakened, he also commu nicated with the detective officers who had arrived in Jersey, and MANNING was captured the same night, and sent to London, to answer the charge before a jury of his countrymen. An instructive lesson may be gleaned from these events, that (must have a valuable effect upon those who are almost trembling on the verge of crime. They have seen how apparently insignificant cir cumstances will bring suspicion on parties—how strange inquiries about the sale and purchase of railway scrip led to the apprehension of one— an extra supply of brandy to that of the other they will see that there is, in fact, no possibility of escape from a serious pursuit, and, thus warned of the inevitable consequences of crime, they may pause while there is yet time, and return to a course of virtue and propriety. If the considera tion of the case should have such an effect, the Ber mondsey murder case may become a valuable prece dent, and prove a sound moral lesson for all who may be exposed to temptation. The well-wishers of Ireland have had cause to re joice in another auspicious sign of the times. The Nation newspaper has become an advocate of tranquil lity, and almost denounces all future agitation as a crime and " worse than a crime"—a mistake. On Saturday last, the morning after the expiration of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, the long defunct Nation, reviving pEcenix-like, made its re-appear ance. If its tones are no less eloquent than of old, they breathe a different and a sv'ser spirit, declaring "all bluster and bravado" to be "more repulsive and mournful than a death-bell." Tbis is the lesson taught by the revived Nation to the revolutionists and the would-be revolutionists of Ireland : "Now again we renew our labours in new and trying circumstances. We must begin this time at the bottom, for we have arrived there. We must begin by solidly piling granite upon granite—not laboriously balancing a house of cards, to be blown down contemptuously in the end by the breath of a Court lawyer. A design, wisely subordinated to the actual facts of our condition, but in cessantly expanding itself till it fill up the entire breadth of our purpose—the purpose of making Ireland a free, prosperous, and honoured nation—is the only one in which I can put faith. It is easier to sigh over opportunities which are gone, or to scream for contingencies which have not arrived, than to strive towards this purpose by systematic labour and devotion; but whoever means to live through other years than the present, or hopes to see the end attained, had better not prefer that plan. Assuming these premises, what then? This, then; we cannot win our rights at a blow, but we must win them in detail. This is my faith. We must win them in detail, beginning with the most urgent, and advancing from point to point towards the great goal. Ireland is a sick and dis abled man whom we must strengthen and invigorate with many preliminary successes before he is able to win his last and most precious right. Independence is no longer the first achievement and sole spring-head of all that will enrich and ennoble our country, but the end and result of many previous victories. There, and no other where, does it lie. For the tide of revolution has gone out and left us stranded on the shore, and we needs must conform to the circumstances in which we are cast. Shipwrecked men build with spars and waifs spared by the storm, and if they are wise ones work cheerfully with the meats and appliances fortune has left them, making no unmanly whining for those that he buried in the great deep; for whining will not bring them back again. We must win our rights in detail, and strive to learn, or revive, the heroic virtues in the struggle; for it is folly to talk of the independence of the Iri,h race till the individual men of Ireland have learned to become independent." "It is easier to sigh over opportunities that are gone than to strive onwards with systematic labour land devotion." Undoubtedly it is, and this fact has rarely been so wofully corroborated as in the history of Ireland. Her patriots have evinced sufficient prac tical eloquence in depicting her sorrows, but not sufficient practical patience and perseverance in re dressing them. How much toil and trouble, how much of national enthusiasm and individual exertion, have been ex pended in the Repeal struggle, and for what ? Those same exertions, if directed in another and more prac tical channel, might have produced a very different and far happier result. The Nation, at least, has recognized this error, and proposes, with an ardour worthy of the cause, to remedy it forthwith. The cry is now not for national but for individual independence. "It is folly to talk of the independence of the Irish race till the in dividual men of Ireland have learned to become independent." And how shall this lesson be taught them ? What is the true secret of independence ? a fair day's wages earned by a fair day's work. This is the true philosopher's stone. He who enables or assists the poor beggar to earn his own living in the sweat of his brow, is the true benefactor, and they are the true patriots who help their fellow-country men to help themselves. If this is what the Nation proposes, all success we wish it and its endea vours ! It would seem from the above paragraph, however, that when " the individual men of Ireland have learned to be independent," then some steps may be taken towards effecting " the independence of the Irish race," but an attempt at such a time will be most gratuitous. When the Irish are individually independent they will dream no more of such delusions as repeal, and the independence of the " Irish race," for they will by that happy time have learned that the union of England and Ireland is compatible and identifi e d w i t h th e f ree d om an d hap piness of both countries. But without, at the present moment, troubling ourselves with the opinions of a future time, we con tent ourselves now with congratulating our Irish contemporary on his re-appearance, and we rejoice to find him a fellow-laboure r with ourselves in the cause of Ireland's happiness, via peace, patience, and per severing industry, or, in other words, individual in dependence. WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 5 1849. LONDON: TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Faris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur du Soir publishes the following an nouncement :—" Several journals have circulated a rumour of the approaching marriage of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. We are authorised to declare that this rumour is utterly without foundation." In allusion to a paragraph which has appeared in some of the journals, to the effect that Russia, Austria, and Prussia have favoured a project for the partition of Switzerland, the Assemblee Nationale says : " We can affirm," says that journal, " that such an absurd idea has never entered the minds of the states men of Europe. The journals which publish this ac count wish to distort the meaning of European interven Lion in the affairs of Switzerland. The real meaning is this: a partition would be a shameful act, contrary to treaties, whereas what is wished for is to carry out these treaties. Thus the fundamental conventions of Swizer land recognize the independence of the small and large cantons: the demagogues having absorbed and anrihi lated the liberty of the small cantons, it is impossible fur such a state of things any longer to exist. All the treaties recognise the sovereignty of the King of Prussia over the canton of Neufchatel; it is necessary for that sovereignty to be again proclaimed. No principle of' the right of nations authorises Switzerland to become the re ceptacle of all the refugees, of all the firebrands of Europe, in such a manner as to be able to direct on Germany, France, and Italy the agents of permanent conspira cies. This state of things is to cease. Austria considers it necessary, in the interest of the safety of the Lom bardo-Venetian territory, to occupy the part of the canton of Tessino which extends as far as St. Gothard. This pretension is open to dispute, since it is not in the treaties; but on this point she is supported by Russia. Such is the real state of the Swiss question. Nothing more or less is wished for; but we know that to attain this end the Powers are determined to adopt the same system of firmness and resolution which they have fol lowed in the sad affairs of Hungary and Italy. We hope the revolutionary party will not expose Switzerland to all the misfortunes of invasion and war. Let the en lightened men who compose the Helvetic council listen to the moderate and mediating advice of France, and they will spare their country from great misfortunes." The Court of Assizes of the Haut Rhin have ac- V faa s r article p q u u b it l te ik d , w M h .

SCHMIDT was greeted with enthusiastic shouts of " Vive la Republique " Vive la Consti tutionl !" Several of the French notabilities have been carried off by the cholera during the course of the last week. Among them are M. GRRENTE, one of the best painters on glass in France ; MOURTHEN, director of the Orleans and Cen tral Railway ; M. DE CLERVAL, sub-prefect of Segre • Baron PoILLY, one of th e f ew rema i n i ng officers Of the camp of Boulogne, and N. PASCAL SFJOURNE, the banker of Marseilles. The Bank of France is about to make considerable advances to the Treasury. PARIS BOURSE—TUESDAY, SEPT. 4. THREE o'CLecx.—The advance in Frtneh Securities which marked yesterday's proceedings did not held up to•day, During the early part of the Bourse the Rente was again exceedingly buoyant, and the Five per Cents. at one moment touched 92f., but sales to realise profits .being then made brought down prices rapidly, the clos ing quotation being 91f. 30e. The Three per Cents. closed at 56r. 10c., the fall on tha day being 40c. for the former, and 35c. for the latter. Bank of France Shares have, however, continued their asconsional movement, the last price being 2,370 f. or 15f. higher. Piedmont is again sf. higher, closing at 845 f.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult have arrived. It is said that an intrigue is on foot to procure the abdications of the Queens of SPAIN and PORTUGAL, the marriage of the son of the Queen of PORTUGAL with the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of MONT PENSIER, and the union of the two kingdoms under the rule of the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER. the object in view being the annihilation of English influence in the Peninsula, which is to be given over as an appanage to the Orleans family in exchange for the withdrawal of their pretensions in France. In allusion to this precious intrigue we find the following in the Riforma:— " The journals of a neighbouring kingdom make im portant revelations respecting negotiations or intrigues between statesmen here and those in power at Lisbon. They are of such a nature that we dare not venture to translate them. Amongst others, the Patriota is parti cularly explicit. It speaks of a project of mutual ab dication; of the dethronement of personages who have nut yet reached maturity ; of the acknowledgment of certain rights and the waiving of others; of futura re gencies, &c ; in a word, the manifestation is so serious, that doubtless the organs of the Government will be forced to notice it, and make soma explicit declaration. Meanwhile we abstain from making further comments. We expect further information, since silence would sanction these rumours, and compel us to take them into consideration, in order to ascertain what is their foundation." The Clamor Publico of Madrid, of the 30th ult., says that bills drawn by the Spanish Government on a town of Italy for half a million of Teals, for the pay ment of the troops forming the Spanish expedition, had been returned protested. MADRID BoLss, Auu. 30.—The Three per Cents. were done at first at 26k, and afterwards at 261- ; at the close, and 7-16 were even asked. The Five per Cents. were at 111; Passive, 3i 15-16. Exchange on London, 50 75. ITALY. Letters from Rome of the 25th state that the cle rical reaction, aided by the pious bayonets of the French, is proccedivg to the most despotic and tyran nical excesses, in order to slake its thirst for ven geance. The dungeons of the Inquisition are filled with victims, but the thirst for vengeance of the priests is not yet slaked, and the arrests and secret executions still continue. The freedom of the city was conferred on OUDINOT before his departure. The whole affair went off tamely, notwithstanding the unwearied efforts of the priests to get up an appear ance of enthusiasm. The Vauban frigate, which had been placed by Ad miral BAUDIN at the disposal of the POPE since the month of March last, has received orders to return to France. In the sitting of the 30th ult. of the Chamber of the Deputies of Turin, Deputy R ATAZZI rea d t h e report of the Commission on the Bill for a monument to be erected to CHARLES ALBERT. The Chamber then voted the law allowing 100,000 f. for the present, to be applied by Government to the r e li e f o f I ta li an refugees. The Minister of the Intericr took that opportunity to state that the Gover nmen t was actu ally engaged in considering a Bill f or t h e establish ment of colonies in the island of Sardinia, which would afford the refugees a proper and certain relief. Deputy VALERIO then moved that the Hospital of St. John at Rome, specially destined for the Genoese, and belonging to Genoa, should be opened to the late defenders of Rome, who might be sick or wounded. M. GALVAGNO, Minister of Public Works, approved of the m o ti on, and promised to write to the Sardinian Consul at Rome on the subject. The Riforma of Lucca, of the 28th ult., positively asserts that the Tuscan Government has determined to convoke the , Chambers ab ou t t h e b eginning of G January next. usrAvo MODENA, one of the per sons proscribed at Rome, arrived at Leghorn from Civita Vecchia on the 28th with his wife. He was to proceed to Genoa. The Milan Gazette, of the 30th ult., publishes a proclamation by Marshal R ADETZKY, dated Verona, in which, after reciting, that deserters still continue to rove in parties about the country, endangering the security of persons and property, and that the said deserters could not maintain themselves unless assisted by the communes, such communes as shall have been pointed out (indiziato) as having given shelter or provisions l‘ to the said malefact o r s an d deserters, shall be punished with a fine, half of which is to be given to the persons who have suffered damage. Any individuals convicted of aiding and abetting deserters, are to be shot. The military patrols scouring the country are directed to shoot any individual with arms in his hands, offering resistance. A reward of six hundred francs is offered for every deserter arrested and delivered to the proper authori ties. Passports are t o b e r i gorous l y exam i ne d , an d officials neglecting their duties in matters relating to this proclamation are to be dismissed, and otherwise punished if necessary. The Venice Gazette publishes a notification of the Government Commission, dated the 24th ult., con taining a list of forty individuals, who, by order of the Austrian Government, are to leave Venice. Among them we remark DANIEL MANIN ; his brother-in-law, ZANETTI ; Advocate AVESANI ; Dr. LEVI ; Friar BERNARDINO AIAZUCHETTO ; and IC COLO TOM MISEO . B y anot h er notification of the same date, all persons obliged to leave Venice are to be furnished with Austrian passports. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE IV'S. CT Ty, QUARTER 7'o THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yes tereay, and the tram - actions were small; price, however, remsil at Friday's quotations.

Her Majesty's ship Peterel has arrived with the Brazil mail. Her accounts, however, are of no general interest. The latest date from Rio de Janeiro is July 10; but the River Plate accounts are only to June 10, and, therefore, not later. • The continental Stock Markets have been without any features of particular interest. At Amsterdam Dutch Bonds were well supported, and more was doing in the Two-and-a. Half per Cents., which were at 54. The latest`prices of the Meta Hies at Vienna was 95k. The letters and papers per West India mail, delivered yesterday afternoon, state that the weather generally was favourable, and that there was a desire on all hands to reduce expenditure, &c. The General Post-office authorities have adopted a very excellent plan,:viz., that of receiving in St. Martin's le-Grand messages for direct dispatch per electric tele graph. - ;ill imaginable causes are assigned for the existing ex traordinary depression in railway shares, but probably, as in most other cases, all are right and all are wrong. Among other assertions is the alleged falling off in traffic. Now, in referring to the traffic upon many of the principal railways, we find that there is in reality no actual diminution, although it must be admitted that the increased mileage has not in many cases produced corresponding results in receipts. Due allowance, nevertheless, should be made in all such cases for the time required to: develop the traffic. However, we will put the matter more clearly than it appears in the ampler official tables, pre mising that the last weekly return for the North-Wes tern, South-Western,l and Midland exhibits a decrease compared with the like period of 1848, while the Brighton, South- Eastern,:and Eastern Counties were larger, having, however, more of their line open. We prefer taking the eight weeks of the second half-year of 1848 and: 1849, and they are as under:— Miles opened. Now. 1848. Receipt.. Now. 1848. A.

The policy of every one making investments is to inquire particularly as to what are the guarantees of a company, and what is the prospect of the traffic leaving a surplus for the old shares, or otherwise to take the guaranteed stock.

The intelligence of the arrest of BEM in Transyl vania is not confirmed; it was reported in Vienna on the 30th ult. that he, together with KOSSUTH and DEMBINSKI, had passed through Semlin, en route for Constantinople. Klausenberg was occupied by the Russians on the 15th ult. The journals of Vienna of the 30th ult. state that the greater part of the garrison of Comorn had left the fortress and laid down their arms at Gran, but that the remainder of the garrison positively refused to surrender. The fortress of Peterwardein had not been given up by the insurgents, but General Kiss, the commander, has made overtures for sub mission. The General Correspondence of Vienna states that a Protestant minister and a printer had been shot at i'esth for having been found with arms in their pos session. It is stated in a letter from Vienna of the 30th ult., that the statements which have been made of RUESIII intending to exercise its influence on behalf of the Magyars is totally unfounded. A.Vienna letter announces that the Count LEI NINGEN has been shot at Arad for having served in the Hungarian army, he was, it is said, a relation of the Queen of ENGLAND. General HAYNAU has ordered the Jews of the Banat to deliver to the Austrian army, within four months, 100,000 havresacks, 10,000 cloaks, 10,000 pairs of shoes, and 5,000 pairs of boots. For every day's delay the Jews are to pay I,ooof. fine. At Arad the Austrian General SCEILICK has also exacted considerable con tributions from the Jews; but the Lloyds says that in the latter town the Jews were getting themselves baptised Christians. A letter from Pesth of the 28th says that General HATNAU arrived in that city on the preceding day. A letter from Ischl states that about a fortnight ago the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES requested the band of the national guard to repeat a particular air which they had played under his window. Whilst they were so engaged, Count URMBRAND, an aide-de-camp of the Prince, came up and angrily ordered them to cease, adding that he was disgusted at seeing workmen in uniform. This excited the indignation of the musicians, and they were with difficulty prevented from giving the Count a charavari. The next day they sent a depu tation to the ARCHDUKE to complain of the Count's conduct. His Imperial Highness was excessively indignant, and called on the Count for an immediate explanation. The Count expressed his regret at what had occurred, but the Prince rebuked him and ordered him to go to the balcony to make a public apology to the people, and afterwards leave the town. This order was obeyed by the Count. The French semi-official Patrie of last night an nounces, on the faith of letters from Vienna, that KOSSUTH, BE m, and DEMBINSKI have arrived in safety at Constantinople. PRUSSIA. The Committee of the Prussian Chamber of De puties on the German question resolved, on the 31t, ult., to propose to the Chamber to ratify the constitu tion promulgated by the three Kings to support the Ministry in its German policy, and to modify the Prussian constitution so a s t o ma ke its provisions agree with that of the three Sovereigns. The Legislative Chamber of _Bremen has just voted, by 118 votes to 103, : the adhesion of the Govern ment to the constitution of the three Kings, but that of LUBECK, by a majority of two, has taken a contrary decision. It is, however, not believed that LUBECK will persist in this resolution. A letter from Ilamburgh of the 31st ult. states that part of the Prussian forces had left that city, and that the Prussian garrison was to be ndUced to 4,000 men. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH', SEPT. 4.—Her Majesty's packet Pe terel, Lieutenant Creser, commander, arrived last night with the Brazil mails. Her dates of departure are:—Rio de Janeiro 10th July, Bahia 231 ditto, and Pernambuco 29th ditto. She brings about 25,0001. on freight, and the following passengers, viz.:—Mr. H. Lichich, Mrs. Tross and son, his Excellency Senor Antonio de Lima and son, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Kludschmidt. She left at Rio her Majesty's steam -sloops Hydra and Rat tler; Brazi'ian ships of war Don Affonco, Guapiassu, Urania, Berenice, Oriente, and Parana; American ships of war, Brandywine, Falmouth, and Supply ; Portuguese ships of war, Vasco de Gama and Iris ; and French frigate Galati. Her Majesty's brigantine Griflinn was at Pernambuco. Exchange at Rio was 25c., Bahia 25c., and Per nambuco 25,1 c. This arrival brings no general or political news. Business at Rio continues dull. In freights few transactions had been done. The month previous to the Peterel's departure the number of disengaged vessels in that port was small, but satisfactory news from Europe or the United States would cause a rise in the rates, which were then as follows :—Coffee in bags (other goods in proportion), Antwerp, 455.; for Belgian flag, channel, 42i. 6d. to 503. ; London, 40s. to 455. ; Liverpool, 40s. ; United States, 60c. to 800. At Rio—The English ship Hamilton, from Cardiff for Coquimbo, was outside, refreshing. John for rocks barque, for Islay, from Liverpool, was under repairs, and the following British vessels were in the port disengaged :—Ship Fatima ; barques Cynthia, Alice Brooks, and Ann Bates ; brigs Jane Black, Rover's Bride; schooners, John Murray, Robina, and Commodore. The following were loading for London :—English barque Tasmania, schooner Ar chimedes; for Liverpool—Engli s h b a r q ues Ben :Mich Dhu and Emilia ; Channel—Prussian brig Titania, and English barque Indus ; for Antwerp— barque Adele and schooner National. Her Majesty's schooner Spider, which arrived at Rio with the River Plate mails a week previously to the sailing of this packet, reports things to be as per last advices in that quarter. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 2. The Royal dinner party, last night, included Lord John Russell, Lord Portman, Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, and Sir Charles Lyali, Mr. Patrick Byrne, the Irish harp er , h a d th e h onour of playing some of his national airs before the Queen. Her Majesty and the Prince, attended by the Mar chioness of Douro, Hon. Miss Dawson, Lord John Russell, Mr. Anson, Lteut-Colonel the Hon. Alexander Gordon, and Mr. Birch, attended Divine service to-day at the parish church. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial. office, from the Governors of the West India Colonies. Dispatches were also received yesterday at the Colo nial office from the Governors of the North American Colonies. HER MAJESTY AT LOCH MUICK BALLATER, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marchioness of Douro, crossed over yesterday to the shooting•lodge on Loch Muick, where It . is proposed to tarry for a short time. The party left Balmoral a little before mid-day, and traversed the dis tance thence to the Loch, which is computed at seven miles, though, as is proverbially the case in such mat ters, the estimate is found to be defective—mounted on Highland ponies. As if there had been a lengthened preparation for this visit., the little place has been made quite snug in antici pation of her Majesty's arrival. Everything about it has, under the tasteful superintendence of Dr. Robert son, been put into a fine state of arrangement and repair. Nothing likely to conduce to the comfort of the illustri ous visitors that could be obtained has been omitted ; although the accommodation it affords is slight contrasted with that they have been accustomed to occupy, and the situation is sequestered to such a degree that some would deeribe it as dreary. The juvenile members of the Royal Family remain at Balmoral. The Prince of Wales has for some time been an assiduous angler. If his success has not j been very great, his patience and perseverance at least de served it. The conjecture circulated that Brechin Castle would be honoured with a r o y a l vi s it rests on a slender basis. How it originated is easily explained. The shooting grounds of Lord Panmure are contiguous to those pos sessed by his Royal Highness. They lie very close to the lodge which the royal party now inhabit. An invi tation was given to Prince Albert to go over them, which has been accepted, and hence the removal from Balmoral. The moors in the neighbourhood of Loch Muick are richly stocked with game , a nd his Royal Highness may anticipate capital sport. PREVENTION or DISEASE.—The Gazette of yester day contains a series of instructions issued by the Gene ral Board of Health to the board of guardians of the Stepney Union and of the Holborn Union to appoint medical or other qualified persons to carry out a system of' house-tc-house visitation, to provide places for the rccaption of the families of necessitous persons attacked by cholera, and to see to the cleansing of the houses from which th e y may h a ve been removed; also, that notice shall b e given by handbills of the places where medical aid and other assistance may be procured. The in guardians of the p oor i n B e thnal green , and the parish of St. I,, onard, Shoreditch, are, by similar notices, directed to provide staffs of men, and the necessary ma terials for cleansing and lime washing infected houses, and to secure additional supplies of water for washing courts and other confined localities in their respective parishes. Sorrows are the pulses of spiritual life ; after each beat we pause, only that we may gather strength for the next.—Elizu Cook's Journal. 111 E WATERMEN'S AND LIGUTERMEN'S ASYLUM. —l7l 'terdaY the President and Vice President of the Aiinshouse Committ ee of this institution, made their an nual inspecti on o f t h e esta bli s hment on Penge-common. The result of their labours was very satisfactory, and they expressed themselves highly gratified with the state of the buildings, and the condition of the inmates. AN " AMERICAN" EGG.--Mr. Horace Hands, of Upper Middletown, brought to our office on Monday the largest hen's egg th a t we have ever seen — measuring fully nine inches by six and three-quarters! and weigh ing five ounces! We think this is the largest egg of the kind that we have ever seen mentioned.—Middletown (Ct.) Sentinel.
