At a period when the mortality in London, in England, in Europe—nay, more or less in almost every quarter of the world—is alarmingly increased by that dreadful epidemic which is at present thin ning our population, a powerful stimulus is afforded to a cause which we have always regarded with pe culiar favour—we mean the cause of Sanitary Im provement. Very nearly ten thousand of our fellow creatures, in the metropolis alone, have already within the last few weeks fallen victims to the Asiatic Cholera. And according to the statements officially notified by the Registrar-General, the disease is gradually increasing as to intensity, and extending as to locality. This is, consequently, no period for either indolence or indifference. If sanitary innova tions were advisable heretofore, they have now become an absolute necessity. Not only for our own sakes, but for the sake of our neighbours, it is incumbent upon each individual to take those rational precautions which are judicious at ordinary periods of sickness, but which, in extraordinary priods like the present, have become imperatively revisite. Indeed we would force upon the reason every one indiscriminately a truth which all must allow to be glaringly incontrovertible—namely, that extreme carelessness is as culpable as over solicitude . While we are satisfied that the general interests of the cause of sanitary improvement have been latterly advanced by the prevalence of this destructive epi demic, we cannot remain blind to the fact that its principal advocates have been brought into deserved di, , repute by the frivolity of their arguments, the immethod!cal and cursory character of their investigations, and by the extravagant inconsis. tencies, and even absurd contradictions, which have been perceptible in the majority of their deci , ions. From the glaring faults, indeed, which have I itterly marked the proceeding of the Commis sioners at Gwydyr House, and from the egregiously false logic of the reasoning of such men as Mr. CHADWICK, we augur hut a very brief (or if pro longed, a very inglorious) reign for the present Seig - nors of the S2wers and Vicegerents of Ventila tion. Had many of the points now at issue been subrnittel to the decision of a " jury of matrons," or, let us speak more plainly, had they been submitted to a party of " old women," the result could not have en very different from that which is conspicuous in the judgment delivered by the sages congregated in council in the gardens of Whitehall. If the blue books generally are to be stuffed full of such twaddle as that which has of late proceeded from the General Board of Health, we think that the lover of historical glories, and the aspirant for the preser vat i)n of our political and social reputation, may allay henceforth all his foregoing solicitude in regard to the construction of a suitable edifice in London or West- minster, for the preservation of our State papers and national records. And had the book of Prospero con tained nothing worthier of consideration, that master mind might have permitted its burial many fathoms deep without any very distressing qualms of con• science. What th© public wants on an occasion of such im minent and grinding emergency is, not any fanciful speculations, or elaborated theories, or inge nious suppositions—but facts, facts, facts. Facts the most naked. Facts the most simple. Facts the most vivid and undeniable. Hence we cannot but think the majority will be disposed to laugh with a sort of savage indignation at such propositions as that one seriously made by the Corn • . misioners as to the employment of a fire or garden engine for the purpose of effectually cleansing the low courts and alleys of the metropolis, and to coincide implicitly and entirely with a correspondent of one of our morning contemporaries, who has pronounced the views of the Bo trd in regard to aymotic poisons as equally idle phantasms with the Phlogiston of STAHL and the Vortices of DESCARTES. Amon4 all the numberless suggestions as to the origin of the prevailing epidemic, not one has appeared to us so singularly felicitous, because so possible, so probable, so rational, as the one mado by this same anonymous correspondent—writing under the psuedonym of " Anti-Zymosis." According to his argument, the cholera is nothing more nor less than the result of a deficiency of ozone in the atmo• sphere. The reas ,- )ni ng is founded upon the following elementary truths - facts removed beyond the reach of all denial : " 1. That the electrical intensity of the a t mosp h ere has doling the whole o f t h e year 1;4 3 :i , u aonlTrly di m i nishin one half th at o f g g former %ears; that it has tr..e'i r since January up to a cert a i n period; and then remained f or so me time stationary. "2. That 01 ne is a product of electrical Retien' h _a tly _hat _he arrilnr t of it in the atmosphere varies in an exa"t raft , with the ple e r r , ea l i ntensity ! "3. That ozone combines with and changes in the nil .c.i . A.LI matter—except album en most rapid mane , r in its fresh state — Ind that it immediately deprives the must putrid and solid bodies of all disagreeable smell. "4. Thy - daring , - *he list three months not even the minutest quantity of ozone has been nor could be de tected in the air of London. "5. That during the prevalence of influenza and the spread of catarrhal affections there is invariab:y an ex cess of oz , ne in the atmosphere. "6. Th .t ozone is always formed durin combustion." Out of' the consideration of these broad facts, "Anti- THE SUN, LONDON, FRI DA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1849 Zymosis" declares that " an excess of ozone is imme diately connected with influenza, and that a deficiency is the concomitant of cholera." In other, and, per haps, simpler words, " that influenza is the peculiar form of disease produced when the atmosphere is plus, and the cholera when it is minus that particular amount (of ozone) which appears necessary for producing the proper changes in the body." Now whether this argument be sound or illusive, it is certain that it is borne out by many startling corro borative circumstances. For example, the deficiency of ozone in the atmosphere during times of cholera is sufficiently demonstrated by the experiment made in St. Petersburgh during the period of its devastations in that capital, when a magnet ordinarily capable of sustaining a weight of 501bs. had its power gradu ally diminished to 251b5., a fact clearly indicating the absence of the usual amount of ozone—ozone being directly dependent upon the intensity of the electrical action. Nor must the experiment in ques tion be regarded as isolated and as consequently re stricted in its application; for the calculation made in the capital of Russia has been found on inquiry to tally to a nicety with that made by the Belgic philo sopher, M. QUETELET. Again, the fact adduced by " Anti-Zymosis" to the effect " that ozone is always formed during combustion," is singularly in accordance with the remarkable immunity from the pestilence enjoyed by such towns as Berlin, as Lyons, and as Birmingham —towns in which are continually burning the large fires employed in the labours of different manufactures. Various experiments are suggested by the writer for the purpcso of testing the accuracy of his arguments, such as the employing of a mixture of white starch and iodide of potassium to discern the presence of ozone in the atmosphere —when a blue colour would be imparted to the starch, the iodine being liberated. He also suggests the advisability of endeavouring to discover whether or not ozone may be artificially produced, as, for instance, " by discharging a series of electric sparks through a mixture of vapour and oxygen"—showing by the failure or the success of those experiments whether ozone be a binoxide, or a teroxide, or a sesquioxide of hydrogen. Altogether, while ac knowledging that the hypothesis of " Anti-Zymosis" is at present in a very crude or elementary condition, we are satisfied that there are sufficient truths com prised in his argument to justify fu rther investigation. made to ade Meantime, while efforts are be ing seriously to detect the actual or proximate cause of the epi demic, a rational amount of precaution in cleanliness, diet, and a speedy demand of medical treatment, is absolutely incumbent upon every individual through out the United Kingdom. In the observations which we felt it our duty to offer in our impression of the 9th ultimo on the pro bable consequences of the decision of the Learned Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court, in re CHARLES THROSBY, we gave full credit to that emi nent and experienced Judge for the praiseworthy motives by which he was actuated—motives that in duced him to depart in some degree from the spirit and object of the code which it was his duty to ad minister. We believe, however, that a most dange rous precedent was established—a precedent affording the strongest encouragement to the " credit system" at our Universities, which would induce the creditors, " who almost thrust credit on young men," to drive matters to extremities, to refuse any compromises that might be offered, believing that they would still obtain everything they could hope for, after .subjecting their victim to the degradation and injury of appealing to the Court for a discharge, and which would prevent parents or friends from coming forward to offer any partial payment, since they would be held thereto, although the objects for which the offer was made had been defeated. We also showed that the decision might have a very injurious result on the unfortunate young man, who, although expressly " exonerated" by the presiding Judge " from any charge of con tracting his debts by false representations, or by any means that trenched upon morality and gentlemanly conduct, beyond his having involved himself in unnecessary expenses," might be subjected " to a protracted imprisonment, far more than would be inflicted if he had been guilty of reckless and un principled conduct." From an application made to the Court on Monday last, reported in The Sun of the following day, it will be seen that our anticipations have been fully verified, and that Mr. Tnaosny still remains in Close custody, his father's solicitors not considering themselves warranted, under the instructions received from that gentleman, in complying with the condition upon which the dis charge was directed, by payment into court of the sum of 2501. sterling. These gentlemen were still willing to pay the full sum of 3001., provided a release were executed by all the creditors, by which the in solvent would be discharged from any future demands) and having communicated that offer to all the parties named in the schedule, seventeen creditors, whose debts amounted in the whole to 5461. 16s. ld., being three-fourths in value, and more than one half in number, returned answers accepting the terms proposed. Mr. Thomas RANDALL, however, the liberal and accommodating THOMAS RANDALL, who " claims for himself the privilege of placing some con fidence in the honour of that portion of the chivalry of England who pass for purposes of education the period between raw youth and matured manhood in the university," did not condescend to return any reply. The proposition was treated with sovereign contempt by that excellent tradesman, who, although " he did not wish to keep the insolvent in custody, and was far from wishing to keep any gentleman in prison, could not consent to forego his claim upon the insolvent's future earnings." He would have the full penalty of his bond. He would have the labour of the young man, whose prospects in life had been materially prejudiced, if not irretrievably blighted, mortgaged until the amount contracted " at West-end prices, and interest at the rate of five per cent. after two years," should be liquidated to the uttermost farthing. It was nothing to the champion of the system that the young man whom he himself admitted to have had "nothing that an undergraduate in his circumstances might not fairly have required, and who, after the first year, had, become more sparing in his orders, and had only what was neces- 1 sary," might linger in a gaol, acquiring habits even more injurious and demoralising than those contracted at that ancient seat of learning, the University of Oxford. The " pound of flesh" should be obtained, and the course adopted by the Chief Commissioner, whose health, we doubt not, was toasted with " three times three," and one cheer more, at the festive board in the vicinity of the " ruination shop," led to the hope that his obstinacy might be attended with the desired result. Under these circumstances no course remained but a new application to the Court to cancel the condition annexed to the judgment, and to decree the immediate discharge of the insolvent. The proceedings afforded the strongest illustration of the danger of any departure from the beaten track. In vain the Commissioner endeavoured to arbitrate between the parties—in vain he "recom. mended" Mr. RANDALL, and those who acted under his auspices, to sign a release upon receiving their dividends out of the 3001.—about 7s. in the pound-- and to leave the residue " to the honour of the young man and the feelings of his family." Mr. RANDALL would retain "his hold on the future property," be sides he had "other* to consult, :and begged to defer giving his opinion." In vain the Chief Commissioner appealed to Messrs. Yousin and VALLINGS to recon sider their decision, urging that the discharge which he could pronounce would give a full discharge to the insolvent, with the exception that the creditors might hereafter apply to the Commissioners of the Court, in the event of the insolvent's becoming possessed of property." _These gentlemen continued firm to their instructions, which only authorised the payment in the event of a full and unconditional release. What, then, was to be done ? An immediate dis. charge would exhibit in the strongest light the grave mistake which the Learned Judge himself had com mitted, while a lengthened remand could scarcely be justified under the spirit of the insolvent code, where the applicant was exonerated 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." A middle course was therefore adopted, and the case was again adjourned until the lith instant, when final judgment will be pronounced. We cannot conclude without referring to the ad. mirable judgment of Mr. J. B. PARRY, Q.C., in the still more recent " Oxford Insolvency." The Learned Gentleman said— " The Insolvent Act was to prevent fraud, and to punish those who fraudulently obtained goods without any reasonable or probable expectation of being able to pay for them. The insolvent had not been guilty of either, and, therefore, he thought it would be contrary to the policy of the law and the public welfare to pre clude him from providing for himself by his own exer tions, or from setting aside any portion of his earnings towards the liquidation of his debts. He should, there fore, order his discharge, but would remark, that it was very proper that the insolvent should pay his debts if he should ever come into possession of means to do so." This is a just and equitable judgment. As such we commend it to the consideration of the Chief Commissioner. By refusing a discharge until the 2501. is paid, he may condemn the young man to perpetual imprisonment, or force an innocent party to pay money from his own resources that he had never received from the insolvent ; for it is, we be lieve, only in cases of fraudulent preference or sup pression of assets, that such conditions have hereto fore been annexed to the discharge. A most un merited stigma would thus be attached to the name of this unfortunate young gentleman, that may materially prejudice his future career—a prejudice which we are convinced the Learned Chief Com missioner would himself be the first to deplore if created by any ill-considered or hasty decision on his part. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. An official notification has been received by the PRESIDENT of the Republic of the intention of the Emperor of Russia to immediately withdraw all his forces from Hungary. The Committee of 25 of the Legislative Assembly The account ndthedep presented artments tow was s the m m most satisfactory. the s Y t ell at t e " o d f ay Pari T s The Government has determined, in accordanCe with the recommendation of the greater number of the Councils-General of the Departments. to re establish the duty on potable liquors. The Moniteur announces that M. DX RESSEGUIER, representative of the people, has been pleased to accede to a request made to him by the Minister of Public Instruction, to accept a mission to proceed to Algiers to collect all the information that may seem calculated to promote tits development of education and charitable institutions in Algeria. He is accord. ingly to embark for the colony by the fit st packet from Toulon. The Evenement says— " According to a letter from Rome, addressed to a member of the Cabinet, General Oudinot is to be in Paris before the 20th instant. The General is expected with impatience by the Government, to whom he can, better than any one, give explanations on the Roman question, and the attitude of the reactionary cardinals." The embarrassments of the French Government consequent upon their interference in the affairs of Rome continue to increase. The Cardinals have, it is declared, positively stated that they will pay no attention to the suggestions of the French Govern ment, and orders have, consequently, been dispatched to Generel ROSTOLAN to virtually depose the Car dinals and assume the reins of government himself, in order to defend the Roman citizens against the outrages perpetrated by the vengeance-seeking sa cerdotal faction. The Sentinelle of Toulon of the Ist publishes the following : " It is announced that a steamer touched yesterday at Antibes, where it brought very pressing dispatches relative to Roman affairs. They announce that the Pope has decided to enter his capital, and to en trust the administration of his states to secular func tionaries." This report needs confirmation. M. RAVEZ, who, under the Monarchy, was at one time President of the Chamber of Deputies, died on Sunday at Bourdeax of the cholera. At about two o'clock yesterday, as the crowd cf speculators and curious began to assemble in the Salle de la Bourse, one of the clerks of the Tribunal of Commerce remarked with astonishment, in one of the galleries near the corbeille of the agena de change. a rather large package, from which smoke issued, with a strong smell of saltpetre. Having called the attendants, the fire in the paper was extin guished without accident, and the package was conveyed to the office of the Commissary of Police at the Bourse. The package was found to contain sixteen cartridges. If it had not been discovered an explosion would very shortly have taken place. According to all probability this infernal machine was prepared to enable malefactors to commit rob beries in the panic which the explosion would have caused. An investigation has been commenced, but no one has yet been arrested, though several persons are strongly suspected. Some years ago an extensive robbery was committed in a gambling house in the Palais Royal in the alarm caused by the explosion of an infernal machine. M. BERTIN, the ad interim Mayor of Havre, having given in his resignation, in consequence of the vote of the Municipal Council, disapproving of hii speech to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, the Sub-Prefect ha ,, appointed M. PERQUER, a member of the Council, to replace him. The inauguration of the railroad from Paris to Tonnerre will take place on Sunday next, as already announced. It is thought that the PRESIDENT of the Republic will, notwithstanding the length of the journey, be able to return to Paris on the same day. Intelligence has been received from Guadaloupe, of the Bth, that serious disturbances had taken place at Point i Pitre. The Patric says that, according to the dispatches that have been received by Government from the divers prefets, it is improbable that many Councils General will demand the revision of the Constitution.

The wires are laid along the rail way line under ground. The Berliner Nachreeten says that the Hanoverian Cabinet has not only not given in its concurrence to the opening of the German Diet, but has put various obstacles in the way, from an appre h ens i on that if Bavaria and Wirtemburg do not give in their ad hesion to the alliance, Prussia will have a preponde• rating majority in the Diet. The Prussian Government in the meantime will pursue the course agreed upon, and will consider such of the States as have not sent in a declaration of their concurrence, by the 15th instant, as desirous of being for the present excluded from the Union of Germany. HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, and prices were without alteration. The sales were estimated at from 7 000 to 8,000 bales, about 3,000 bales of which were taken for export and on specula tion.—The Share Market opened rather firmly, but closed heavily, and prices had a downward tendency. In the Grain Market this morning there is extreme dulness, and prices have further declined. The arrivals are large, including 21,880 quarters of foreign wheat. In the markets for colonial and foreign produce this week there has been a moderate business, and within the last two days holders are firm and offer less. Coffee has been very firm. Generally the export demand for goods has been rather slack, and staples used for manufacturing purposes have been quieter. The following is a report upon the state of the metal market during the past month, as furnished by Mr. William Short:— " There has been an improved demand for Welch bar iron during the past month. Makers have realised Si. ss. per ton, free on board in Wales, for parcels for immediate delivery ; and in second hands there is nothing to be had under Si. 2s. 6d. per ton. For rails there is also more inquiry. The price of Staffordshire Iron is without alteration. Owing to a strike among the colliers, some difficulty was recently experienced in executing orders, but these have now returned to work, and supplies can be had from Staffordshire as before. In Scotch Pigs there has been a comparative absence of business; the market wears a drooping aspect, and the price is nominally 445. 6d mixed numbers ordinary brands, and 48s. per ton No. 1 Garthsherrie. In Sweedes Iron there is little doing. Copper has, of late, been in good demand, and at the present price the copper houses evince little inclina tion to add to their orders. A rise is generally antici pated. English tin is in moderate request, and the price firm. Foreign is little inquired for. Straits was bought in at public sale at 68s. per cwt. Coke tin plates are much inquired for, and are still scarce, owing to a continued deficiency in the supply of water required for the Tin-plate Works. Lead is in moderate request. Holders ask 15/. and 151. ss. per ton on the spot, and for Spelter to arrive 141. 17s. 6d. per ton has been paid. The stock here is small, only 1,360 tons, against 2,800 tons at this period last year ; but it is apprehended that a considerable quantity must now came in from the other aide before the closing of the navigation, and holders, consequence, in hesitate to purchase.' The Llamburgh mail of Tuesday brings the quotation for bills on London at 13s. 9d., and the price of gold at 436. There was a good deal doing in the exchanges. The market for stocks and shares was firm. Accounts from Poland state that the harvest in that country will not be good, and that heavy rains had re cently injured the scanty crops. The Continental Stock-markets, according to the letters received this day, were all buoyant. At Am sterdam, Dutch Bonds had still a tendency to. rise. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 54k. In Spanish and Portuguese Bonds there was no alteration. At Berlin Foreign Stocks were all rising considerably on the 4th instant, ;and at Frankfort, on the 4th instant, shares were advancing, and Austrian Stock was without change. In the Vienna market, on the Ist instant, the Metallics were quoted 95. Beyond the fact of continued firmness, there Is nothing to remark upon in connexion with the English Stock Market. Consols remain at 924it0 ; the Re duced Three per Cents. have been 921 to ; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 93} to 94k. Bank Stock has been firm at 200. Exchequer bills have been marked 395. to 425. premium, and India Bonds, 735. to 765. premium. In the Foreign Securities business is not animated. Spanish Five per Cents. are 17i to 18, and Portuguese Four per Cents. nominally 28 to 29. Brazil Bonds have been 85 to 87. Danish Stock has been 72i Mexican Bonds are 27k. Railway Shares, although very quiet, are looking tolerably firm; but Midland and the other York lines are flatter. Ditto,Fifthg ..... ...... 7 .- l O l/%x.d....- 10%x.d Do. 40/. Shares (L.

HEALTH OF THE DEAN or HEREFORD.—SOMe of the London papers have stated that the health of Dr. Merewether was such as to give serious uneasiness to his friends—in fact, that he was dangerously ill. We hear that the very rev, gentleman has been suffering under a severo attack of rheumatism caught during the excavations at Silbury Hill, which we have before noticed, but we saw him in this city on Saturday last, when he was well, cheerful, and actively attending to business as usual. That he may enjoy his wonted health and be long spared ,is the ardent wish of his numerous friends, admirers of his learning and talents i in this city rind neighbourhood..-Herefird Journal. GEEMAJN Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. RAD l E E T I TH A T , is SEPT.CC rlfidt H . 71 1 ; h eexpveteran here Fie d id u course of next week, probably in the early part. -Marshal The inhabitants of Vienna are anticipating his arrival with extreme gratification. PRESEURG ' SErT. I.—lt i s muc h quest i oned whether the three children, who were brought here on the 19th of last month, were really those of Kossuth. Those who are acquainted with his [family assert that his wife would never have separated herself from her children. The Magyar corps under BEM, at Deva, before submitting to General LIIDERS received from the latter the same conditions of capitulation as Prince PASHEWITCH granted to GEOROET. What these conditions were nobody seems to know; but this seems certain, that the men were furnished with passports and money, and permitted to return home, 1 and the officers treated by the Russians according to their rank. Several of them have declared their in tention of entering the Russian service, and have, io consequence, already obtained very favourable con cessions. Letters from Cracow assert that Russia is to re tain a part of Gallicia towards the east, and the city of Cracow, with western suburbs, as an indemnifi cation for her services rendered in the Hungarian cause. Although there is every reason to discredit such a supposition, it has, nevertheless, obtained belief in Cracow, and is regarded as a fait accompli, and great indignation is felt at the projected change of hands from Austria to Russia.—Hamburgh Corres• pot:dent, Sept. 4. The suspicion of false dealing on the part of the Russian allies, whether grounded sr not in fact, is at Vienna daily growing more decided, and awakens a hostility in all classes against Russia, which show; that the humour even to go to war is not wanting were only the means at hand. The tress, already violent against PASXEWITCH for a mere form of servility in hl3 dis patch to the CZAR, breaks . out again with much greater bitterness against him for au thorising the circulation of KOSSUTH'S notes. JELLACUICEI was expeeted in Vienna on the 2d. He is appointed Governor of Dalmatia and of Scla vonia as well as of Croatia. It ap2ears certain that B EM , and DEMBINSKI are with ItossuTH, who accompanied .by the FRANKFORT. The Prince of PRUSSIA has resolved to postpone his visit to Karlsruche for the present, and to remain in our midst for some little time. The Archduke JOHN arrived in Frankfort on the 3d. SWITZERLAND. The German Gazette says that it is believed that the three great Northern Powers have addressed a note to the Swiss Cabinet, declaring, that the canton of Neuchatel must be given up to Prussia, and it adds that it has received the sanction of the French Go vernment. The Post Gazette of Frankfort says that France has invited Prussia to join it i n ca lli ng on Switzer • land to take energetic measures against the dangerous schemes of democratic Socialists in Switzerland, and that Prussia has consented to do so. It is further stated that the latter power is resolved, if necessary, to enforce its demands. The Augsburg Gazette gives the same news, but says it requires confirmation. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma, of the 28th ult., publishes the following order of the day from General RosTo- LAN to the French army at Rome : " Soldiers,—The confidence of our Government calls me to the command-in chief of the army. My first thought must be for the General to whom I succeed. In separating from you he was pleased to pay a new tribute of praise to your discipline, your valour, and the services you have rendered. I here thank him in your name and mine for the sentiments he bae expeessed. From the beginning of this campaign you have been put to severe trials, you have boldly suffered serious privations and defied every danger. A war at first unforeseen, and then a mad resistance forced you to destroy the walls of Rome, and to enter as conquerors. Thus you have fulfilled the most difficult and glorious part of your duty. Still the mission which the Government confided to your arms has not yet com pletely ceased. The army will continue to occupy the city and the quarters of Rome. Its position, which hitherto has been completely provisional, will be mo dified according to the necessities of a more stable occupation. I shall neglect no means in order to secure your comfort, and maintain you in the post you have gained. Your conduct, your moderation, your generosity, have conciliated the affection of all the inhabitants, the sympathies of a whole people, and even the esteem and respect of those who were your enemies. For such conquests your country will be grateful to you because they increase the glory of your arms, and extend i n this country the influence of France. Soldiers! I do not conceal the importance of the new duties imposed upon me; I calculate on every occasion upon your attachment and upon your confidence in order to facilitate the fulfilment of them. "The General-in-Chief, ROSTOLAN. " ROMP, August 27." The Tera Liberta of Bologna, of the 28th ult., states that on the preceding night a band of l 6 rob bers attacked the villa Tattini, pillaged it, thence pro ceeded to the house of the curate, and other houses, and laid them under contribution, and lastly at 7 a.m. attacked a diligence on the high road of Tuscany. Troops had been dispatched alter them, but as yet without result. . . _ The following proclamation was published at Venice, on the 28th : " To the inhabitants of Venice and Chioggia, and of the places comprised in the Estuary,—The faction, which by deceit, corruption, and terror has ruined Venice and the surrounding places, lately so flourishing in conse quence of the batefits showered upon them by the muni ficence of the Sovereign, being at last overthrown, I, as civil and military Governor, come among you at the head of the valourous troops of his Majesty Francis Joseph, our legitimate Sovereign, for the purpose of bringing among you the consolation of peace, restoring public order, and considering the means of healing, as far as possible, the deep wounds inflicted on public and private prosperity hv a rash and madly prolonged contest, even when nothing else could result from it but useless bloodshed and the ruin of a monumental city. But on passing from a state of ex citement and commotion, in which this population has been too long maintained, to a state of legal order and quiet life, severe measures are, for the present, indispensable to guarantee public security; and therefore I have !hought proper to order as follows;—1, The towns of Venice and Chioggia, and places comprised in the Es tuary are declared is a state of siege, in consequence of which all powers are concentrated under my authority; 2. The Civic Guard and every other armed body of whatever denomination aro dissolved, excepting, in so tar as I shall direct, the armed force of finance and po lice; 3. Arms of every description, ammunition, gun cotton, and war stores, possessed by individuals or cor porations of Venice, Chioggia, or the Estuary, must be given up to the commissions which will be named for the I purpose in 48 hours. Every individual is responsible for himself, and every corporation or representative of a corporation is responsible for those repre sented, for the execution of the present article; 4. Political assemblies, under the names of clubs, circles, or Casini, are prohibited ; 5. All party emblems, republican colours, cries, songs, harangues prints and writings tending to maintain revolutionary excitement, or to disturb public tranquillity, are also prohibited. 6. The press is subjected to preventive censorship. 7. All public places shall be closed at ten p.m., and the inhabitants must have retired to their lodgings at half-past ten. Proper exceptions will bp made, and licenses granted to physicians and ecclesias tics. Transgressions of these articles will be judged by the military authorities, the Giudijio Statario, or a Council of War. The Giudijio Statario is applied to the transgressions against Article the punish ment it pronounces is that of being shot within twenty-fours hours. Tho Council of War judges all cases relating to Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, and pronounces imprisonment from one month to five years, besides a fine, to be applied to a pious establishment. I trust this exceptional state may soon cease, in consequence of the good behaviour of the citizens, and their co-opera don in repressing the evil intentioned, so that the inha bitants of this city may enjoy, under the constituted authorities, the advantages granted by his Imperial Majesty to hia other subjects, " The Civil and Military Governor, " GOIISKOWBaI. " Venice, Aug. 28, 1849." Two other proclamations of the same date are re lating to the details of the preceding one, and in the enforcement of former decrees published in Lombardy during the revolution. By a decree of the 28th ult., the Duke of PARMA has pardoned all prisoners condemned to less than three months' imprisonment, remitted their fines, and granted a general pardon to all Parmese officers and soldiers condemned for defection. MA RLBRO'-STREET-( THIS DAY). COWARDLY ASSAULT.—Mr. Victor Lesaunier, an im porter of French goods, carrying on business at No. 1, Little Knightrider-street, was placed before Mr. Hard wick, charged with having assaulted Mr. Louis Pillvot, interpreter at the Prince of. Wales Hotel, Leicester place, Leicester-square. The complainant, whose face was much bruised and swollen, deposed that about twelve o'clock on the previous night he was in a public-house in Market-street, Hay , market, taking some refreshment, when the prisoner, whom he never saw before, entered, and immediately began to quarrel with the company, but more particularly with witness, whom he challenged to come out and fight in the street. Complainant declined having anything to do with him, when the defendant said " he was an Eng lishman and a gentleman, and would kick every Frenchman out of the house." Witness told him if he was an English gentleman he would not make use of such filthy language. The prisoner then took a thick stick which he bad in his band and struck witness several severe blows over the face and eyes, and then ran away. Complainant pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," as far as the corner of Jermyn-street, where he was stopped, and given in charge to a constable who at that moment was passing. The prisoner, who made a rambling defence, was fined 51., and in default to be committed for two months. ARRIVAL OF LOLA MONTES (MRS. HEALD) AND HER HUSBAN D IN LONDON.—Mr. and mrs. Heald, who have been on a continental tour, arrived in London about eleven o'clock last night, and immediately drove to their residence in Half•Moon•street, Piccadilly► As they were not expected, Co preparations had been made for their arrival, and they therefore drove to Patterson'i Hotel, but, in consequence of the house being full of company, they were under the necessity of returning to their own residence in Half-Moon-street. It is eolith dently expected that Mrs. Heald will make her appear ance at Marlborough•street Police•court, on Monday next, to meet the charge of bigamy preferred against her by Mrs. Heald, the aunt of Lieutenant Heald, at whose sole instigation these proceedings are carried on. Owing to the short period that has elapsed since the first exa• mination took place, it will be almost impossible for any evidence to be produced from India, where Captain James, the former husband of Mrs. Heald, is with his regiment. re is no folly equal to that of throwing away friendship in a world where friendship is so rare.,,-Eliza Cook's elturna O.NE O'OCLCK.

PARISH or ST. BRIDE.—Last evening a nurner' 'Judy attended meeti ng o f t h e parishioners of this dis t, let was held in th e vestry - -room of S t . B r id e ' s , in St. Bride's-passage, f or t h e purpose of coming to sows arrangement relative to the proposed agreement b e tween the chu rc h war d ens and the directors of the city ° r for h London and T ower H amlets Cemetery Company, constituting their ce me t ery the burial-place of that pari,..l and on other business. The Rev. C. Marshall, the Vic/ if , ccupied the chair. The proposed agreement was then laid before the meeting, which was at once agreed t°' Some formal business in connexion with this ageeemen! having been disposed of, Alderman Sidney rose and saki I grieved him exceedingly to hear that the City B e ard of Health intended to erect a ch o l era h osp i ta l upon the 'lite of the old Fleet. Why, he asked, should this parish be made the ft cus of the disease of the whole city ? It was not properly treating them, as parishioners of a di s trie; in the city of Lond on . Th e i rs was the poorest parish, and , could nut afford to erect an h osp i ta l , a l t h ough t h e y had always taken the greatest possible care of their pauP erg4 whether invalid or not. Mr. Lowe observed he perfectl4 coincided with the views of the worthy Alderman, ane although their parish did not occupy an area of half mile, still they had nine medical men—(the Vicar her e stated they had now increased the number to twelee)' engaged in attending on the poor who may be suffering from the present epidemic. A Parishioner said if t ill Board of Health wish e d f or a Ci ty Ch o l era H o spital there was the Fever Hospital in Gray's Inn-road nn" empty, but he saw no use in having any at all; if the other parishes attended t o th e i r poor as we l l as t h e y on , d as he believed the chol era was great l y decreasing in tuB City. A memorial, which was ordered to be printed the Boardd oailyf H papers, was then drawn up, praying that th e ealth would abandon the idea of building any hospital on the proposed site. A resolution s ol6 ' then moved that notice be sent to their sixteen repro: sentatives to be present a t t h e C ourt of Common C ou ncil to be held this day, t o oppose any motion there brou ght forward which may be considered detrimental to the p a ' rishioners of St. Bride's. The resolution was cordial/3r adopted, and a vote of thanks to the Rev. Chairman ter tninated the proceedings.
