LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1849. The judgment of the Learned Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court in re CHARLES THROSBY, to whom, in connexion with the credit system at Oxford, we directed the public attention yesterday, is worthy of serious consideration. Indeed, our observations on the subject would be incomplete without something more than a mere passing allusion thereto. It is im possible to overrate the vast importance of the topic, not only to the rising generation, to those who are about to be exposed to the temptations and allurements incidental to a sojourn in one of the ancient seats of learning, but also to parents who submit to many sacrifices and privations to afford their children the advantages supposed to arise from a university education. The prospects of the for mer may be for ever flighted, they may be exposed to the most serious difficulties during their subsequent career, in consequence of the liabilities incurred during the thoughtless indulgences of their earlier years. The reasonable expectations of the latter may be disappointed ; grief and anxiety may wring the father's or the widowed mother's heart, who, with crippled means and diminished resources, may be compelled to submit to further sacrifices, perhaps to act unjustly towards other children, rather than abandon an erring son to the melancholy fate he had earned for himself. It is then, we say, a matter of almost national import ance to check the system, and to restrain the undue facilities of credit afforded to students. We do not desire in the slightest degree to impeach the motives by which the Learned Chief Commissioner was influenced in forming his judgment on the case. 'We are convinced that he was actuated by a laudable anxiety to carry into execution the intentions of the father to free the son from his various liabilities, and at the same time to procure something for the creditors on account of their demands. He manifestly thought that the 3001. previously offered was atilt available, and that a declaration insolvent Should b et that the ditionally on 2501. discharged from custody con be followed by the immediate paid into court, would and the liberation of tate not tfortunate young man. payment of that sum, The judgment, however, is th en less i mpo li tic, or fraught with less d angerous noe k l ) l e e :e c t l e eb e s. rated a s a as Mr. COOKE justly rem ar k e d " , It will, triumph at Oxford." It will afford h encouragement to the system, w hi c h i t is sostrongest desi ra bl e. to abolish. It will induce those w h o n the words of the Learned Judge, " almost thrust credit on young men," to refuse any compromise that may be offered, and to force their debtors into the court for relief, when such a course is not followed by the total loss of their demands. It will prevent parents or relatives from coming forward tc offer any partial payment, since they will be held thereto, although the object f o r which the offer was made had been defeated. It is clear that in the present instance the insolvent would have been unconditionally discharged if no Ipposition had been made to the creditors• The 1 4 71 14 0 /47' 13 0 14Y; Chief Commissioner, in delivering his judgment, de- 1 Glared that "he was happy to exonerate the insolvent from any charge of contracting his debts by false representations, or by any means that trenched on morality and gentlemanly conduct, beyond his having involved himself in unnecessary expenses." Even that extravagance was confined to the very beginning of his career, while he was yet a minor, and when he could have availed himself of his nonage to defeat any claim that could be made if he had chosen to avail himself of such a plea. Mr. RANDALL himself stated, in his evidence, that " the supply of goods were such as an undergraduate in the insolvent's circumstances might fairly require, and that after the first year (i. e. when the unfortunate young man was nineteen years of age), he became more sparing of his orders, and only had what was necessary." Neither could it be said that the debts had been contracted without reasonable expectations of being able to pay them. Mr. THRDSBY, sen., was supposed to be a gentle man of considerable wealth, who could easily spare his son sufficient to pay these debts. He had in the first instance sent over 6001. out of the 7501. due by his son, and it was not until a recent decision, adverse to his interests, had considerably reduced his resources, that the claims of his remain • ing children, twelve in number, were taken into con sideration, and the offer was reduced to 3001, and ' that only on condition of a full release being granted by all the creditors. The insolvent had, therefore, committed no offence against the insolvency code; he had not committed any act to subject him to a remand, in fact a more meritorious case sel dom came before the court, for we regret to say that the instances are rare indeed where the petitioning debtor's conduct is wholly free from blame. The law was made for foolish as well as for unfortunate men; and if none but the latter could avail themselves of its provisions, the business of the Court would become very scanty. Under such circumstances, then, a judgment is pronounced, the effect of which may be to doom the unfortunate young man to a protracted imprisonment, far more than would be inflicted if be had been guilty of reckless and unprincipled conduct. He can himself have no means of paying the required sum. Everything hheisbeardedi had already been surrendered to world had creditors. If father's solicitor should still consider himself not au thorised to pay over the 3001. that had been entrusted to him, in the event of the creditors being willing to accept it in full satisfaction of their demands, he must still languish in a prison until his father can be com municated with in Australia—a period of ten or eleven months; and even then, if the father should refuse to pay the money, he may be detained in perpetual confinement. In fact, he may be imprisoned for a longer period than is authorised by the insolvent law for the most flagrant violation of its provisions. We know not on what clause or section of the Act the judgment has been founded. But we feel • that it is one of the most dangerous tendency, and the more so as proceeding from a Judge so eminent and so experienced in the law of debtor and creditor as the Chief Commis sioner of the Insolvent Court. Matters of more startling and conspicuous import• ance have latterly obscured in the public mind an instance of grievous injustice and of peculiar hard ship. The case is one to which we have already directed the attention of the community, and which we shall not cease to regard as a fitting theme for the disquisitions of the journalist until the affair has undergone a complete and definitive revision. That revision, according to a rumour prevalent for some time in military circles, is understood to be actually in contemplation. It is presumed that a decision so fraught with impropriety as to be visible to the judgment of the population cannot pos sibly be held good by the honourable and dispassionate principles by which the authorities at the Horse Guards are believed to be ever actuated. Need we premise, before we go further, that the case to which we are now once again making especial reference is no other than the case of Capt. GEORGE Doucaas, late of the 16th Regiment ? That unfor tunate gentleman, whose name, though erased from the Army List, is still regarded as unsullied by every 'w'lliOse4tesical.i.a.7e;',Tho.--ughn'lmpuAilEnsel'in'syd t o n m e dominions, sentence of the court-martial held on him at Guern sey, is btill viewed by those acquainted with the particulars of that deplorable trial as wholly unstained and irreproachable—has suf fered through the informalities of the examina tion a punishment such as under all circumstances is beyond the limits of anything at all like adequate reparation. He has been subjected to treatment, the effects of which can never be erased from his recol lection, can never cease to embitter his existence, no matter how emphatic may be the reversal of the sen tence, no matter how earnest the compensative eulo giums. Although we have twice argued the point at issue, and have each time demonstrated the impossibility of any sane man coinciding in the view taken by the immense majority of ONE in the court•martial at Guernsey, the question is very far indeed from having been exhausted in reference to the injustice of the sentence passed on Captain DOUGLAS. In testimony of this, we shall here again briefly analyse the case throughout, doing so in a manner altogether dissimilar from that in which we erewhile commented upon the transaction. Such a course will be sufficient to prove beyond all objec tion that in its various phases the judgment is com pletely unjustifiable. Remember at the outset, therefore, that the charge on which the accused was tried is divided into four counts or instances. Those four counts we shall consider separately and consecutively. To substantiate the first of them, it was abso lutely essential that two facts should be clearly proven upon evidence. Now, neither of those were proven. It was not proven-Ist, that Constable RENIER, did positively at the time, and in the place specified, ask Captain DOUGLAS the question embodied in the charge; or, 2dly, that Captain DOUGLAS did really give the answer therein stated. As to the accuracy of our assertion upon this point, we simply refer to the details of the court-martial, those details affording an incontestable corroboration. Let us ask, whose evidence was taken up on this count ? Why, the sole witness upon this important instance was Constable RENIEn ! A nrl, in regard to this person, it was distinctly asserted by Judge GAU. DION, one eminently competent to form such an opi nion, that (p. 10) he doubted the man's capacity for comprehending expressions in the English language! Couple this assurance coming from the lips of Judge GAUDION with the circumstance that RENIEIt, a petty farmer of Alderney, whose vernacular is a corrupted patoke of the French tongue, was delivering his tes timony in reference to expressions which passed between himself and Captain DOUGLAS in an inter view of between two and three minutes' duration, and one which had taken place no less than three months prior to his examination before the court-martial— couple these thingi together, we say, and tell us how much consideration this single witness is en titled to ! Again, as to the second count of the charge—a count divided into an offence before the civil, and another offence before the military court of inquiry. Now, as to the former, Captain DOUGLAS has been formally acquitted of having objected to acknowledge that he had been firing at the time indicated on Frying Pan Battery. Besides which, it has been stated by Judge GAU. DION (p. 7) that he did not explain to Capt. DOUGLAS when that officer was brought before him in the civil court, on the 9th of January, that one of the objects of the investigation was to ascertain the identity of those who had been practising with pistols at Longy. As to the offence before the military court of inquiry it may be seen, from one part of the evidence lastiv en on the court- mar ti a l (p. 24). that until the was day, not apprisednamely, (p. of 2 the hh; , e that 17th February, the prisoner ofnature directlyth the w as and from n d from anothe r made acquainted with these instructionsat he at once an d that unreservedly admitted a ll was requi re d. Re.. the specting the thi r d count of charge, it w ill b e observed th a t w h en J udge GAIT why he had requir e d Captain DpoitT"'As to account being a s k e d for the newspaper f oun d on the batGtLey, with bullets, replied that h e did so t, for reasons p er f or ated own" (p. 6) ; the Court never press e d that question,ofh is although upon it the proof of this, the thi r d i nstance,was count , Lastly as - to the fourth co entirely dependent. t of the charge. The culpability implied in that instance is altogether dependent on the construction which may be put upon the tone of the letter written by Captain DOUGLAS in allusion to a document penned by order of General BELL, bearing date the 6th of February, and addressed to the Town-Major of Alder ney. Now, considering that the letter of General BELL mentioned eight circumstances, from which eight circumstances that officer then deduced; what he pronounced to be an " unavoidable conclusion " that Mr. Brs SET'S bullock was killed either by Captain DOUGLAS, or by Ensign PARKER, and subsequently hurled from the rampart into the sea—we cannot but conceive that Captain DOUGLAS was especially justi fied in abstaining from the voluntary verification of the accuracy of those eight circumstances ; and we cannot, moreover, but feel satisfied that the epistle penned by the accused in reference to those accusa tionsjpp. 16 and 17) will be viewed by every unim passiOned reader as singularly fair and judicious, as, in short, at once guarded and straightforward. Upon such flimsy and trumpery charges as the fore going has Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS been tried and cashiered—his sentence being pronounced by the most insignificant of all possible majorities. The egregious injustice of the whole transaction, the in formality of the proceedings, and the illegality of the sentence peremptorily demand a searching inquiry and an immediate revision. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. As we stated in the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening, the discussion on the Roman expedition was closed in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday ; after which the order of the day was adopted by 428 to 176, being a majority for the Ministers of 252. The speech of M. DE FALLOUX , which was the defence of the Ministry , is commentedon in all the papers, and is considered by . all parties rather . as a piece of clever " herring trailing" than as a defence of the expedition to Rome. _ He seemed anxious to g ive the go bye to the expedition of Lireneral OUDINOT as soon as possible, and accordingly he made personal attacks upon M. JULES FAYRE (which brought on him a well-merited castigation from that gentleman) ; he eulogized the Popes of the middle ages, he abused the Roman Republic and the republican principle, generally ; he lauded Legitimacy, he in fact talked of M. .ALAo L u zs everything but the subject- ma tt er i n d e b ate. As is justly made observed by no the replyN a t i w o n h a a l t — e r ‘ e ' r, M. to .DE FAYRE. He did not for e ven a moment allude to the question which M. JULES PAYEE had so pro foundly discussed. This is an avowal of inability which France will know h ow t o apprec i ate. The Minister of Public Instruction had but one object in view—to draw off attention from the real sub ject of debate. 'With the insidious tone which is so characteristic of him, half-sneer, half-rage, he, at the commencement of his speech, substituted for the real question a personal discussion by grossly calumniating M. JULES FAVRE j then he vilified the Roman revolution. We are not surprised at it. Calumny is a weapon the use of which is per fectly understood by a certain sect, which M. DE FALLoux holds in high esteem, and from which he has apparently received instruction. Besides, why should not M. DE FALLoux vilify that Republic, to the destruction of which he has so largely contri buted? After the steel the poison ; thus runs the logic of LOYOLA." Even the Journal des Debats admits that M. DE FALLOUX was best when speaking of the internal affairs of France, that is when giving the go-by to the question before the Assembly. The Assembly elected on Tuesday the following to be members of the Committee which is to sit during the prorogation, with power to convoke the As- rd al. Victor Lefranc MM. Prudhomme Barillon E.

Bi.thard They were all nominated by the reactionary club of the Rue de Poictiers. The Constitutionnel his the following in relation to the constitution of this Committee : " It is true, as stated by the Presse, that it was wished to place M. Thiers on the Committee, and he was ur gently solioite.a A. • • • • posstote for nun to consent, as he has been recommended to refrain from any ettortion for some time. M. Thiers is compelled to absent himself from Paris for some time, but be has no intention of going to England, as stated by the Presse, but to Dieppe, for the benefit of bathing. Thiers could not, therefore, consent to be nominated on the Committee, as when that gentleman undertikes a duty he wishes to fulfil it." lin allusion to the above most carefully worded paragraph, in which M. TIIIERS (for it is from his pen) swears by the card, we would remind those who may be inclined to regard his actions with suspicion that Dieppe is directly opposite St. Leonard's, where the Count DE NEUILLT resides with his family, and that a boat from Dieppe may meet another from St. Leonard's in the mid channel in the course of three hours. Troops are concentrating on the frontiers of Savoy. The Estafette publishes the following : " The Government received to-day news of the definitive conclusion of peace between Austria snd Piedmont.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Weiner Zeitung of the 3d instant contains the following : " Csongrad was, by the command of General Haynan, sit in flames. The inhabitants, after the Imperial troops had already entered the town, and were busied in pre paring their meal, called in Hussars and Honveds, who drove out our soldiers and fired on them from the houses. A brigade now marched against the place, and the Magyars were obliged to give way. Csongrad has paid dearly for this crime. All supplies were first brought away into the Imperial camp, and then the city became a prey to the flames." The Israelites of Kelskemet are condemned to pay a war-contribution of half a million of florins. Szegedin was occupied by the Austrians on the 31st ult., without firing a shot. General HAYNAU shifted his head-quarters from Felegyhaza to Szege din on the Ist instant. The Hungarian generals, MESSARO3, Kiss, and DESOFFY, withdrew their troops from the fortifications, without offering any resistance. The Austrians have received no intelligence from PAsKiwiTcu, whose communications with Pesth are cut off. It is said that he was attacked and defeated at Hatyan by DEMBINSKI, who has retaken Waitzen, and opened communications with Comorn. Russian reinforcements are every day arriving in Gallicia; and it is said that PASKIWITCH will be re called, and the command of the army conferred on WoßoEzow.

Circassian pilgims, who had arrived at Trebizond, on their way to Aecca, stated that several of the ex tensive works of fortifications constructed by the Russians in the Gucacus had fallen lately into the hands of the Circssillng, and been destroyed. They instanced, particdarly, the bastions lately erected between Cheishett and Terbenjik, which were com pletely razed by tie Circassians of Chcdshene in May.

BUN-HUNGARYAND ROME. ---v TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. cuogratulatibg your readers on the very lengthy, and, on the whole, admirable report of the great Mixylebone viceting, which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday evening, I shall be obliged if you will per mit me to correct one or two inaccuracies into which your reporter has fallen in the abridgment of my address on that occasion. In the said report I am made to say that I " most unequivocally and heartily adopted the principle so well laid down in Jellachieh's manifesto in behalf of Hun gary;" that " all nations were interested in, and respon sible for their mutual well-being." Your readers must have been surprised to hear tell of a manifesto in behalf of Hungary emanating from the brigand Ban of Croatia. Your reporter misunderstood me. I quoted not Jella chich, but Count Teleki, between whom there is as much distinction as there can bo between treason and truth, tyranny and freedom, the tool of crafty tyrants and the representative of " Men who know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain." Your reporter makes me also say that " our inter ference on behalf of Hungary must be without France, who would tolerate the whole oppressed nationalities of Europe." The words I have put in ita'ics constitute a string of nonsense. I suppose the words are intended to represent that which I said respecting the Swedes, Poles, Circassians, and other nations► long out raged by Russia, rising to avenge themselves in the event of Englat.d making a demonstration of force in behalf of Hungary. This matter, however, would not have induced me to trouble you had it not been for the mistake of substituting the name of "Jellachich" for that of Count Teleki. These errors, notwithstanding, I thank you and your reporter most heartily for the very full and, all things considered, very excellent report of that most splendid meeting. Permit me to embrace this opportunity of adding my siac,re thanks for your consistent, able, and eloquent defence of the Hungarian cause; and especially for your philanthropic and truly praiseworthy exertions in favour of the Hungarian refugees—exertions which, thus far, have been crowned with the must signal success. From an extensive intercourse with the working classes, and the Democratic party, I can state with certainty that I but feebly express that which the masses feel in consequence of your patriotic advocacy of the righteous claims of the Hungarians. I am informed that, besides the Hussars now or re cently encamped at Fulkstune, a considerable number of Hungarians are at present in this metropolis, anxious to return to their country, but wanting the means to do so. Supposing that the maintenance, ship ment, Ike., of the Hussars should leave a surplus of cash, might not a portion be applied to ship ping off such Hungarians as might be desirous of return ing to their country for the purpose of taking part in the present struggle? I submit this suggestion to your, and the committee's consideration. I observe that the limes, failing to arrest the pro gress of British sympathy in behalf of Hungary, is la bouring to throw discredit on the movement by attempt ing to christen it "Chartist;" and by representing " Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Julian Harney, Mr. Monckton Milnes, and Mr. Hetherington " as associated to add another point to the Charter. Such tactics are most despicable, but quite in keeping with the general course of that shamelessly unprincipled paper. The Times well knows that Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Monckton Milnes are no more responsible for the Chartism of Mr. Julian Harney and Mr. Hetherington, than Mr. Julian Harney and Mr. Hetherington are re sponsible for the views on home politics entertained by Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Monckton Milnes. Pro bably on most political questions there would be found marked disagreement between the several advo cates of Hungarian independence, but, as the Member fur Pontefract happily observed at the Marylebone meeting, "the more the friends of Hungary differ on other subjects, the more valuable is their opinion in agreeing on this." Allow me to add, that neither myself nor any other speaker holding Char tist principles, has in any shape or form obtruded Char tism* upon the meetings called to sympathise with the Hungarians. The Times boasts itself the " friend of peace and tem perate freedom." Its own columns testify that it has done its utmost to provoke a war of extermination against all who cherish the principles of liberty. Its ideas of " temperate freedom" were foreshadowed by Byron, in his portrait of " the coxcomb Czar," who was described as possessing (like the Times)— " A generous spirit, when's is not frost-bit; Now half-dissolving to a liberal thaw, But harden'd back whene'er the morning's raw; With no objection to true liberty, Except that it would make the nations free." The Times talks of " noisy belligerents" who wish to set fire to their neighbour's house. That has been the work of the Times, and Hungary is in flames. The thousands who attended the Marylebone meeting desiro British intervention to extinguish the fire, and restore the reign of peace, security, and freedom. The Times affects to be mightily pleased at h av i ng h a d th e execra tions of the thousands assembled on Monday night last. I can promise it such a testimonial wherever the British people meet to sympathise with the cause of justice, and, as a necessary con s' quence , to give expression to their disgust at the conduct of the truculent tools of foreign tyrants. - I trust, Sir, that not many days wu4ilolowipeatrrs;l6 Hamlet,. t for tisn e another meeting will take place in support of Hungary, and to the confusion of the Times. Pray, use your P2 wel- .. ful v f .k, ue ßitS net h l ,Vo"uth wark, the and Finsbury, to follow the noble example set by the men of Marylebone. A requisition to the High Bailiff of Westminster would doubtless induce that gentleman to call a meeting in Palace-yard, or Covent-garden. I can answer !or a large ;attendance of the working classes, and also, that, at least so far as they and their speakers are concerned, " UNION" will be the watch-word, and " THE INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY" their unanimous cry. I am, Sir, yours. respectfully, G. JULIAN HARNEY. 9, Queen•street, Brompton, Aug. 2, 1849.

SIR,—I beg leave to enclose for insertion in your valuable paper, " An Account of the quantity of Bullion passed through the Bank of England in three years, ending with 1847," by which it will appear the Bank of England have such very considerable transactions in the precious metals, as to induce an opinion that they possess an almost exclusive monopoly of the import and export of gold and silver bullion, both as received from and delivered to foreign nations. If the quantities are resolved into sterling money, the amount would be an immense sum, and this in one article only, viz., bullion both gold and silver.

THE New SAVINGS' BANK BILL.—In consequence of the late period of the session, and the press of other business the Chancellor of the Exchequer recently an nounced that this important Bill would not be brought forward till early next session. Government, we hear, will become responsible for sums only actually received by the treasurer of each savings' bank, and certified by him in the depositor's pass books, and that no other person will be authorised to give a receipt on the part of Government. For his trouble the treasurer will receive a fixed salary (say 501. for a bank with 100,000/. capital), and not a quarter per cent. as previously announced. A manager is to be in attendance as usual to make out a list of the deposits or payments, as the case may be. from tne depositors' pass books, to be handed to him by the treasurer for that purpose; each book being then handed to the actuary, who will make the entry in the ledger account in the presence of the depositor. The treasurer and manager are both to certify to Govern ment the total amount deposited or paid out. As no re payment will be made but by previous notice, the trea surer is to retain a sufficient sum only to provide against the next repayment day; all above that amount will have to be forwarded immediately to the Bank of Eng land to be placed to the account of the National Debt Commissioners. It is not clear at present that auditors will be appointed; but it will be proposed to reduce the Government rate of interest to 3/. 2s. 6d. per cent. and to allow a uniform rate of 2i per cent. to the depositors; also to reduce the maximum of balances to 10 04—Reporter and Savings' Bank Advocate. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—Gross traffic receipts for the week ending August 9, 1849, including the first six days on the North-Kent line :—Passengers: First class, 17,264; second class, 37,109; third class, 58,163; total, 112,526; amount, 10,4141. 12s. 9d.; carrying amount, 1,6911. lls. 7d.; total, 12,1061. 4s. 4d. 188 miles open for traffic. GREENLAND FISHERY.—The Jung Frau Lucia, Diercks i of CT' luckstadt, arrived at Aberdeen on Mon day, front Greenland, with 1,900 seals. She brings no late tidings from the ice. THE WEATHER.—Since our last the weather :has been fair and fine, with a gradually rising temperature since Saturday. On that day the thermometer was down to 44 degrees Fahrenheit, and did not reach higher than 61 degrees; while on Sunday its maximum was 66 degrees; on Monday, 70 degrees; and yesterday it was about 68 days. Yesterday morning, however, the wind having changed to the south-east, the weather became more unsettled; the sky overcast, and we had several slight showers during the day. The barometer, which rose steadily during Sunday and Monday, receded again on Monday night and yesterday morning. The last f ew warm days have been serviceable to the growing crops, especially in ripening the wheat and oats.—Manchester Guardian of yesterday. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE .ON THE SWANNINGTON LINE.—On Tuesday week, as the coal train on this line was proceeding to Leicester, and when near Glenfield, the engine•drivi.r suddenly perc e i ve d a fi ne bullock ap pear on the line, and turn to meet the t ra i n , h ea d to head with the engine. The animal ran directly up to its fiery antagonist, and by the contact was killed on the spot. There was no time to s'op the train before the infuriated beast came up. It was afterwards discovered that the animal belonged to Mr. Hassell, of Glenfield, and made i ts wa y on to the line from the field adjoining.— Lcicester , ifournal, MONEY arid COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very animated, and pries of all kinds were lit per lb. higher. The sales amounted to 16,000 bales, 5,000 of which were takcn for export and on speculation. The Share Market vi as steady, but without animation. The sales of Wheat in the markets which regulate the averages were last week 76,357 qrs. The six weeks' average price is 475. 9d. per quarter, and the last week's 453. Accounts received this morning from Amsterdam under date of the 7th instant, state that continued pur chases were made in the home securities, and that they had occasioned an advance of 4-d. per cent, in Dutch Twce and-a-Half per Cents., the latest price being 53 1-16. At Frankfort, on the 6th instant, Austrian Stocks were rather declining, being 76g. Bank Shares were higher. Belgian, Dutch, and Baden Five per Cents. were in request. At Vienna, on the 4th instant, funds and shares were heavy, in expectation of a new loan. Foreign Securities were rather higher. The Berlin Exchange on the 6th inat. was improving, and the transactions in certain shares were very animated. It is stated in accounts from Alexandria that a great conflagration there had occasioned a loss of 40,000,000 piastres to the state. An American captain writing to his owners from Montreal states:—" We found the canals, as stated, to be the finest works of the kind in North America. The Miranda came through the Welland Canal, and through the Cornwall Canal, with 10,000 bushels corn, drawing 8 feet 8 inches. The least water I found in the channels, on the lakes or rivers, is from 12 to 15 feet, and this is on Lake St. Francis and Lake St. Louis. The shoal water is but a few miles. We came down under canvass till within 40 miles of Mon treal. I came-too, off Coteau du Lac. When I landed, I saw Mr. Davidson, the insurance agent,:and Mr. Roebuck, one of the oldest pilots on the river, and consulted with them about lightning. They advised me to light a few inches. They were not aware at the canals, such a craft, drawing the water we did, was going to pay them a visit. I lightened and came through in fine style. I am fully convinced we can go through the St. Lawrence river, and canals connected with it, drawing nine feet. I do not see any obstructions, except at the entrance of the canals, and that will be soon remedied, as there are dredges and stone boats deepening the channels. Every person connected with the canals appeared anxious to aid and assist us. We had more accommodation than I ever experienced on canals before." In noticing this subject, we feel it necessary to re mark that few persons in this country are aware of its importance to the colonies as well as to England. A continuous line of navigation is obtained by means of the wonderful canals, and supplies of European mer chandize are introduced into the very heart of North America without transshipment, or in all cases the voyage from Montreal to the interior may be accom plished by suitable craft with great facility. The Money market continues very easy, and bankers are glad to force out their assets a little. Still, the more general rate of discount is 3 to 4 per cent., very first-rate acceptances only being done at 2 to 21 per cent. The state of the Money market in France is still comparatively undecided. The Minister, M. Passy, hascer. tainly devised, in conjunction with the leading capitalists an ingenious plan for raising temporary supplies, but whether it is ono which English annuitants or parties blessed with some spare means should participate in, is extremely doubtful. The idea of issuing stock or sects. rities equivalent thereto, upon the faith of a railway company is not so objectionable in itself, and the thing is serious merely as illustrating the embarrassed con dition of the National Treasury, an entire eman cipation from which can only be ultimately effected by a gigantic loan operation. So far the French people are having a good taste of the cost of their ruler's unjust interference in the affairs of a free people. The English Funds are a little better his morning, but until the Chancery-broker is known to have con cluded his purchases, that is, when the office of the Ac. countant-General is known to be closed for the long vacation, the market will probably not resume decided clasticity. Consols have been 92/ to 921 for transfer, and 92i I for time. Exchequer -bills having been disposed of more freely, do not command above 475. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 1991.

I.—A Cabinet Council was held yesterday for the purpose of choosing a Danish commissioner for Schleswig. The result is not known, but it is generally believed that the choice has fallen upon Count SPONNECK. The commissioner for' England will probably be Mr. Howard, the Secretary of Legation at Berlin. It does not yet appear who will be appointed by Prussia in the character of joint commissioner of Schleswig. ITALY• The Giornale di Roma of the 28th ult. states that the municipal commission of Rome under the Presi dency of ODESCALCIII, has ordered the sum of 300 doubloons, sent by the Porn to give work to the poor of Rome, to be specially c onsecrated to poor mothers of families, who are to receive needlework. On the 221 the Spanish troops restored the papal insignia General ROSTOLAN has revoked . *ti. for the - banisnmeto, om owing to the intercession of numerous vs ell-affected persons PANTALEONI is the intimate friend of MAMMIANI, and is one of the most eminent physicians of Rome. A lady of rank, residing in Borne, speaks thus of GARIBALDI in one of her letters :—" I am glad that the heroic and excellent GARIBALDI, who is as gond as he is brave, and who is more a true French knct itt than all the French army put together, has still p. served his life." Letters from Italy speak in strong terms of indig nation of the inhuman, and we may add illegal, conduct of Mr. MORE O'FARRALL, in refusing to permit the unfortunate Italian refugees to land at Malta. They were unarmed, therefore his pretext of a care for the peace of the island was without foundation. They had all passports from the British Consul, and therefore his conduct was illegal. The true cause of his refusal was that he, being a bigotted Catholic, was ordered by the priests, by w h om h e i s surrounded, not to permit them to land, and that he preferred obeying the Ministers of Pope Pius to obeying the Ministers of Queen VICTORIA.

We believe it is very rarely that sturgeons are met with at such a dis tance from the sea, at It sat the circumstance of their being found so far up in the Tay is unprecedented.— Perth Advertiser. A DARING ROBEERY.—One day last week, as a tradesman of Bath, with his wife and family, had just sat down to dinner, they were unexpectedly interrupted in the repast by the intrusion of a large Newfoundland dog, which to their consternation impudently commenced devouring the viands, in doing which he made no scruple of mounting the table, where, in spite of the discom fited lookers• on , he continued his voracious till he had c l eared the whole, and then walked quietly out of the p ar l our through the shop, the way by which he entered I operationsi ITALIAN OPERA. IN MANCIIESTER. — The engage ments for the three operas announced elsewhere, include not only Sontag, b ut a l so Si gnora M or i a ni, w ith Calzo lari, Belletti, uud both th e L a b!aches. It will be seen that the nights are ch ange d t o Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the 21st, 23d, and 25th instant. The first opera is 11 Barliere, in which Madame Sontag gives Rode's celebrated air, with variations, as the singing les son. The second opera is Don Pas uale, the Don being of course embodied by Lablache. The third opera is to be Otello. — Manchester Paper. TO THE BRAVE HUNGARIANS. The tyrant has sworn—he's a man of his word— To thunder destruction around; With cannon and bullet, with carnage and sword, Your cities he'll lay with the ground. The tyrant has sworn destruction to life And death, in insulting his slave— The young and the old, the maiden and wife, His victims shall be for the grave. The tyrant has sworn—but his devilish oath Has added more flame to the fire ; The spirit that's kindled the soul of Kosauth Will only with freedom expire. The patriot has sworn the tyrant shall die, For God has registered his vow; And the banner of Freedom triumphant shall fly Where despots have governments now. 'Tis not in the number of cannons and shell, Nor hoards of barbarian slaves, To crush the brave spirit, where Liberty dwells— For Liberty's free as the waves. The courage of Bem—Dembinski's renown— And Georgey's invincible might, Will drive the invaders from city and town, And conquer in every fight. I hear the glad tidings borne on in the breeze, The shout of a nation made free; It comes over mountains, and valleys, and seas— That nation is brave Hungary. „„„„ •hn elad sound. Old Dacia has broken her chain; Croatia's Ban—where now is be found, To prop the black tyrant again? Sarmatia's nobles are doffing the garb Which Scythia dooms them to wear— Remounting with courage the fiery-bred barb To drive to Tobliski the Bear. And the base, bloody house of Hapsburgh-Loraine Shall crumble in pieces to dust; For the heavens have declared that Tyranny's reign No more shall the freeman disgust. Oh, England! brave England! come forth with thy word— But speak, and the battle is won: Let not a great nation be put to the sword—. The bold, the undaunted, brave Hun. A. B. M. WILDMAN. Manchester-road, Bradford, Aug. 6, 1849. GOD SPEED THEE, GALLANT HUNGARY! God speed thee, gallant Hungary! And aid thee in the fight; That Freedom wages on thy plains Against oppression's might. The banded despots of the earth Have loosed the dogs of war, And Havoc riots at the beck Of Hapsburg and the Czar. From the far Ukraine's dreary steppes, From Tiber's deserts vast; The northern legions' war-whoop swells Like thunder in the blast; Presaging woe and death, where'er Their fatal lances shine; For carnage hovers round their path, Their watchword and their sign. And Austria, cruel in her hate, An abject craven thing; How droops the eaglo on her crest! How cowers his stricken wing! The shedder of the nation's blood, Her own she shall not save; Branded and curs'd, as Europe's Cain, An outcast and a slave. But hark ! what strain the welkin fills, Sonorous, deep, and loud; Sounding triumphant as the voice Of lightning in the cloud! Hard by the Danube's stream it bursts By vale and forest dim; And rings out o'er the mountain tops, A mighty people a hymn! itrz,t7 , ;, Do. (N 1 Do. 0 Do.
