The example of the metropolis would be promptly followed by the provinces, and in the lapse of a few weeks we should have such an expression of public feeling in this country in favour of the Hungarians, as would com mand attention to the statements and representations of Lord Palmerston from the Court of Vienna.

Lord BROUGHAM has long occupied a prominent, indeed we may say, the most prominent position among the legal reformers of the age. Since he first entered into public life, his active mind has never been permitted to remain for a moment quiescent. Notwithstanding the multiplicity of his avocations as a working barrister, in full practice, and a leading member of a great political party, he found leisure to become a copious and able contributor to literary and scientific works, and in every branch he appeared to have devoted his entire labour .to that alone. So great were his attainments and profound his knowledge, even in the minutest points. He per formed the work of half-a-dozen different persons, "rid performed it well. It might be said of him— " tetiget quod non ornavit;" for although we cannot say that he was at a ll times free from error, yet the mistakes he committed were those of a great mind, There was nothing common place or mediocre in any act or production, and considering the vast amount of his labours, and his undertakings, it is only surpris ing that these errors should be so trivial and insigni ficant in comparison to the beneficial results of his unceasing exertions. But it is not on his achieve ments as a fervid and impassioned orator, an acute advocate, a sound lawyer, a learned and impartial judge, a liberal politician, a profound mathematician, or a witty end talented author, that his more enduring fame will rest. Although the future historian will necessarily dwell upon these various excellences, his chief theme will be the amelioration of the statute law, introduced and carried into execution under the auspices of the legal reformer, who cleansed the Augean stable of the law. That mighty task is not yet performed. Much has, un doubtedly, been done, but more remains to be achieved. There can, however, be but little doubt that if the Noble Lord shall be enabled to apply himself for a few more years with zeal, energy, and ability, such as he has manifested throughout his entire career, but little will remain to be called for by the most enthusiastic advocate of legal reform. The letter from his Lordship to Sir JAMES GRA HAM* on the "Making and Digesting of the Law," which Lae just been published, will undoubtedly be received with that respect and consideration to which anything proceeding from his pen is so justly en titled. It is scarcely necessary to bespeak attention to any production of Lord BROUGHAM'S. But even were it the work of an unknown writer, the vast importance of the suggestions and the absolute neces sity of some changes in our legislative system analogous to those so - ably advocated by the Noble and Learned Author, would secure to the letter, now under notice, a serious and deliberate perusal. The machinery of legislation is bedly and powerfully attacked ; the loose and imperfect system that occasions the errors and absurdities so often deplored by judges, and by which the intention of the Legislature is so frequently defeated, is exposed in all its folly. Instances are given, that would be exceedingly ridiculous were they not of such grave import,. of mistakes that have already been committed owing to the mode in which Bills are framed, and carried through both Houses of Parliament, without being subjected to competent supervision, either before their introduction or during their progress. The same inadvertency and want of care, that produced the memorable enactment re ferred to by his Lordship, " which awarded one moiety of a penalty—namely, transportation or whipping, to the person suing for the same, and another to his Majesty, his heirs, and successors," may be detected, although not quite so glaringly, in numerous inetaeces of every-day occurrence, and even in enact ments that have been submitted to the revision of S . Select Committees, a nd r ece i ve d as muc h considera tin Parl'arnent as could possibly be bestowed upon any measures. These mistakes necessarily arise from the want of concert and co-operation on the part of the members of th e diff erent Houses and of the painstaking and experi ence d men by whom the Bills v‘ ere originally prepared. Each man amends and alters to suit his own taste, or fancy, without regarding objects, or the unity of the entire law. The labours of one House are disregarded by the other, a n d the exertions of the original framers by both. Hence there is that crude and incongruous legislation that is so much to be lamented, and which is calculated to bring shame and disgrace on Parliament, and to mar the general et.licacy of its exertions. The alterations introduced by the Select Committee of the House of Commons in the Bankrupt Consoli dation Act of ?ait session—alterations which were by no means improvements on that well considered and "L-itter from Lord Brougham to Sir James Graham r" -- --on the Makii:g and Digesting of the Law." London; awes Ridgway, Piccadilly. .Lp. 42. 11.4 carefully digested measure—form the immediate sub ject of the letter. But his Lordship had long since directed his attention to the question of the prepara- tion of statutes generally, and the feelings of annoy ance at the rash and inconsiderate changes perpetrated in his bankruptcy code have only revived his former determination. After entering freely into the history of that statute, and exposing with a masterhand the folly and inutility of some of the so-called amend ments, his Lordship says : " Can any one doubt that Parliament must now adopt some method of placing under proper and able, as well as honest and responsible superintendence, the prepara tion of all Bills, and the watching of the ir progress through both Houses? Two years a g o, I laid before the Lords twenty-four resolutions propound ing a scheme of this description. The principal provision was the appointment of a board or court of five members, irre movable without address of both Houses, to which either House might refer any Bill, and . whose opinion might be taken upon the draft of any Bill before its introduction. It was part of the plan that all questions of fact might be tried, and reports in the nature of special verdicts re turned on all such points, the two Houses only omitting in their proceedings the Committee and report, but tither House having the full power either of remitting for inquiry to the board, or of taking evidence itself, notwithstanding the board's report." Under this improved system, there would be no undue interference with the rights of either House or of individual members. " No person," says his Lordship " no person, nor any department of the Government, would be bound to follow the advice of the proposed board, or to lay before it any proposed Bill. The privileges of both Houses, and of all the members of each, would remain inviolate. But a helpmate would be provided for all, both Government and individuals, and for both branches of the Legislature a helpmate whose aid, both in preparing Bills before their introduction, and in watching them during their progress through Parliament, would be altogether be yond any estimate we can form of its value. Ner is it only in preventing error, and in improving legislation, that it would be of invaluable use. `The mere saving of time would be incalculable, and this consideration is now become of such importance that Committees have actually been sitting to inquire how debates may be shortened so as to render it possible to transact the business of Parliament—it being discovered that the Parliamentary sitting has but narrow limits, and that the desire of Parliamentary debate has no limits at all." Such are the outlines of the plan for remedying an evil which is admitted on all sides to have reached to an extraordinary degree, and which undoubtedly requires immediate attention. Valuable reforms can s carcely be hoped for wh ile the source of all legisla tion is avowedly defective. Let this point, then, be first attended to, and if the suggestions of Lord BeouGIIAM be fully and judiciously carried into execution, reasonable expectations may be entertained that necessary reforms may be no longer postponed or retarded from the pressure of Parliamentary business and want of time on the part of legislators—and the complaints that hare been so rife at the conclusion of every recent session, " that Bills of importance have either been altogether with • drawn, or so mutilated in their progress, as to be worse than useless," will at length be removed. It is a relief at the present moment, amid the gloomy details which now daily fill our columns of the ravages of the pestilence, of the movements of murderers, of the disasters of war, and treachery combined—it is a relief to contemplate a ceremony of a peaceful and festive character, which, although it took place in a foreign country, is interesting to all, inasmuch as it was commemorative of genius, which is universal. The anniversary of GOETHE'S birth was last week (August 28th) celebrated at Berlin by a grand banquet. The proceedings have been described by an eye-witness as very dissimilar to those :at public dinners in this country. Instead of the dinner first and the speeches afterwards, " the feast of reason and the flaw of soul" are, in Germany, intermingled with the more substantial banquet. Thus, several times during the dinner, a flourish of trumpets en joined patience to the hungry while a toast was honoured, a song listened to, or a discourse recited. Chacun a son gout; for ourselves we cannot but consider the English custom as the more satisfactory both to those who wish to enjoy the intellectual and the material feast. The learned author of "Cosmos" presided over the banquet, and during the evening read a paper which excited great enthusiasm. In this he extolled the conduct of those Princes who (as the saying is) patronise genius. " If," he said, " the simultaneous appearance of great men lies beyond the authority and sway of earthly powers, not so is the uniting them when they appear, and aiding the working together of their mental endowments. It is an elevating spec tac le," continued Dtuun IlesenOLL'l' "to see, through several generations, a noble, princely Nic e , animated by the lofty idea, not only of increasing by such an union of genius the glory of their native land and their own enjoyment of life, but of inspiring by that drawing together of mental greatness its creative spirit to bolder flights." The encouragement which ,it is enabled to afford to men of genius may be considered as one of the happiest preroga tives of royalty, and in former days Kings and Princes, by availing themselves of this privilege, transmitted their names to posterity surrounded with a lustre which no action of their own could have obtained. Not .insignificant Sovereigns only have been rendered celebrated by the glory of those whom they thought to patronise. Even the Qrande Monarque is indebted for some of the grandeur of his reign to the literary men who found favour at his court—a circumstance which rendered him an object of ,envy even to NAPOLEON. " Had CORNEILLE lived in my reign," exclaimed the Soldier-EurEuou, " I would have made him a Prince." ELIZABETH, also, is as much renowned, and justly so, for her friendship with &TAMPERE as for any other characteristic of her reign. In more modern times, however, the privi leged few—forgetting that the patronage of genius, like charity, is twice blessed, and confers more honour on the donor than on the recipient—have neglected to win for themselves this happy celebrity ; but, fortu nately for genius, the many have more than supplied their place. It is on popular favour, and not on Ministerial pensions, that literary men now depend. Literature is now identified with the people, which is a striking evidence of the " march of mind." The Italian correspondent of one of our contempo raries expresses great surprise that the revolution numbered among its supporters so many artists and actors, and others, who personally suffered from its effects. " They are as mad as ever, and they cannot be yet convinced that the rich and the noble are their only customers, and that patriotism never buys works of art, or fills the side-boxes at the opera." These artists, &c., however much they might suffer for the moment, justly recognised that their cause and that of the people were one. Now and then, perhaps, as a solitary flower occasionally (but very rarely) may bloom within prison walls, some great work of art may be produced under the shadow of tyrannical protection, but genius only flourishes habitually in the soil of freedom, strengthened by the invigorating, if sometimes rough, blasts of popular opinion. Nevertheless, Baron HUMBOLDT is right in eulogising those Princes who honour themselves by honouring and encouraging great men. The Lord Mayor had the honour of entertaining at dinner last evening a party of sixty gentlemen, merchants and others, connected with the city of London. MEETINGS FOR THE REMISSION OF THE HOP DUTY. —A meeting of the hop-growers of East Sussex was held on Saturday at Hurst-green, for the purpose of consider. mg the reply of the Lords of the Treasury to the memo• rial of a meeting held at Hastings on the 27th of July last, praying for the remission of the hop duty on the crop of 1848, the reply having been one of a negative character. The chair was occupied by Mr. Selwes, and Sir P. Mickl9thwaite moved a resolution to the effect that the circumstances which had induced them to ask for a remission of the hop duty of 1848 had now become in finitelymore urgent by reason of the unf avoura bl e pros pecand increased dit9culties of the hop farmers; that the withdrawal of so large a sum from the hop districts would paralyse any interest connected with these locali ties,compel the farmers swell t to h ep d o i o s r eh r a a r t g es e t ; h thatei their la and d u e r e fi r e s i , e n cy thus te s ' alarmingly of the crop, caused by a blight, would preclude the pos sibility of their meeting the demand coming due in October and November; and that therefore a memorial should be presented to the Lords of the Treasury pray ing them to suspend the collection of the hop duty of 1848. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and after some observations from Mr. llodges, MT., Mr. Curteis, M.P., end other gentlemen, a committee was I named to carry out the object of the meeting, and to take charge of memorials from every parish in the hop.grow ing districts.

FOREIGN HONEY.—A vessel arrived fram Caen has brought 22 casks and 50 cases of honey, the produce of Normandy, as a portion of her cargo. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Rumours of an approaching change of Ministry are again rife in Paris. It is said that MM. PASSEY, DLIFAURE, and DE TOCQUEVILLE will retire, and be replaced by MM. BENOIT, LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and LEON FAUCHER. The Presse states,that on his return from Epernay on Sunday, the PRESIDENT of the Republic invited M. LEON FAUCHER into his own carriage, and that they thus travelled to Paris together. It is said that a reconciliation has taken place between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the members of the family of his uncle JERoIiE BONA.- PARTE. At the review at Epernay, on Sunday, a disgraceful scene took place between General RULLIERE, the Minister at War, and General DE NEUILLY the Commander of the Departme n t of th e Maine. The latter wished to present a young officer to the PRESIDENT for the Cross of the Legion of Honour. This was loudly and violently opposed by the Minister at War in the presence of the PRESI • DENT, his staff, and the troops, as being contrary to the regulation, on account of the youth of the officer. The cholera still continues to rage with great violence in Paris. M. ROBERT, representative of the department of the Yonne, and M. CouLorl, the regis seur de la dame at the Grand Opera, died of this disease on Tuesday. The disease is daUy gaining ground in Marseilles, where the deaths average forty a day. The Moniteur contains a report from M. DurAiniE to the PRESIDENT of the Republic setting forth the necessity of establishing in the department of the Seine a commission of prisons, for the purpose of promoting all objects likely to lead to the material or moral amelioration of the prisoners in that district. According to the ordonnances of April 9, 1819, and of June 25, 1823, simi lar commissions were ordered to be nominated in all towns having one or more places of confinement, but in the department of the Seine those ordonnances were never carried properly into execution. It is to fill up the void so left that, the Minister of the Interior now makes his proposition. The report is followed by a decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic appoint ing ➢IM. BAROCHE, BExENGER, DEBELLYME, RE BILLOT, and sixteen other men of eminence, to compose I the commission proposed. The Council of state are engaged at this moment with the law relative to transportion to Algeria of the prisoners of June, 1848, who are still at Belleisle. They will be subjected to military rule, but are capable of becoming, after having g i ven proofs of good conduct, colonists and even proprietors. The law on deputation is also a subject of deliberation with the Council. The Constitutionnel says that letters from LA Rochelle and Perigueux mention that 2,000 men ci the 75th and 59th of the Line, in moveable columns, had marched in all haste to the Lot. This display of force had reference, it was said, to the collection of the 45 centimes. Letters from Oran state that serious differences have arisen between the French and the Moors, in consequence of the latter having bastinadoed a Jew who was under French protection. The following letter from the Count DE CRAM BORD, dated Ems, August 29th, has been extensively circulated among the Legitimatists in Paris : " It is with the liveliest emotion that I have received the homage offered to me by workmen of every trade from the city of Paris. I have been profoundly touched at seeing their del( gates coming to me in a foreign country, and I charge them to be with their comradts the interpreters of my gratitude and of my affection. To learn that my name is pronounced with sympathy in my native country, in the city where I was born, is the most soothing consolation that I can receive in exile. In perusing the numerous lists which have been brought to me, I was happy and proud at being able to reckon so many friends amongst the labouring classes. Inces santly occupied in studying the means of being useful to them, I am acquainted with their wants and their suffer ings, and my deepest regret is that my absence from my country deprives me of the happiness of being able to give them aid and ameliorate their lot. Bat a day will come—such is my fondest hope—a day will come, when I shall be permitted to serve France, and to merit her love and her confidence. " HENRI." M. DE LESSEPS has just published his reply to the report of the Council of State. The Siecle , which has been one of the war mes t a d voca t es o f M. DE Lessees extracts it from a letter written by him during his mission. The remarks with which the Siecle in troduces the letter are naturally those which the com munication would suggest to any person at a moment when the accounts from Rome seem to show that M. DE LESSEPS, whatever may be said of the way in which he executed the mission entrusted to him, had not taken an incorrect view of some of the results which were to be expected. The Siecle says— " The following is a note which on the 20th May last M. de Lesseps addressed to the Government. It will be seen that warnings have not been wanting to arrest the Cabinet on the fatal steep over which certain persons wished to lead it. France must not,' says M. de Les seps, under pretence of disputing with Austria her inguence in Italy, take on herself what was odious in the part destined to that power by her policy, her natural tendencies, and her interests. Austria has always been much better informed than we as to th, value of the opinions which constitute the strength of parties in the Italian peninsula. She knows the horror, that is the word, which the Romans have of a priestly Government, and she will with satisfaction see us take on ourselves a restoration which is more political than religious; that is to say, much more desired by absolutism than by Catholicism.' We almost believe it; ask the Emperor of Russia—ask even the pastor, Da. Coquerel. 'lf we wish,' continues M. de Lesseps, 'to occupy Rome by force, without first obtaining an ex plicit declaration from the Pope, we shall have nothing but embarrassment. It is certain that our soldiers will triumph over all material obstacles, but this is the leas, of the difficulties. When we shall have entered Rome, after having put down the Republic, most certainly the Holy Father will refuse to return on the conditions which it will suit us to impose on him. On this side there is an absolute principle which cannot be agreed to. M. d'Harcourt was as well convinced of it as myself at the first conference. He told me he gave up the idea of obtaining anything at Gaeta. On the other side there is also in a contrary sense an absolute principle. An Ecclesiastical Government will not be submitted to ex cept by force. We must maintain a permanent occupa tion, as well to preserve the restoration which our arms shall have implanted, as to repress the manifestations of opinion, which from day to day will become more hostile to temporal power. We shall therefore end by losing our influence over all parties. Our efforts and our ex penses will only have served to unite all Italian passions against us." — Seals have been affixed on the Paris and Sceaux Railway, at the request of the State, and also of some private creditors of the undertaking.

The dispatches received yesterday at the Ministry of the Interior from the Prefects of departments set forth that there will be few demands for a revision of the Constitution on the part of the General Councils. If they express a desire, it will no doubt be on the neces. sity of giving fixity and stability to the Government for the encouragement of commercial transactions and th e public prosperity. The Prefects announce in advanc e that the proces-verbaux will principally contain cer tain wishes for decentralisation, and for the re-elta blishment of the taxes abolished by the Constitution, together with a very decided opposition to the income tax proposed by M. P Aslv . Th e d epar t men t s which express themselves most strongly to this effect are those of the south, the east, and the west ; those of the north do not appear disposed to declare themselves so explicitly on these questions.

The Pais, adverting to the exultation of the Catalan organs over the fall of Senor MoN, and their boasting as to the vast interests involved in the maintenance of the restrictive system, and the enor mous capital employed in their manufactories, ridi cules the idea of a few manufacturers being able to retain exclusive privileges, when those of the Monarch, the church, and the aristocracy have been successively stripped away. And as to their enormous capitals, it tells them the best answer to that assertion is the amount contributed by all Catalonia to the subsidio industrial y comercial, which it states is under 500,000 reals (5,0000 MADRID BoLse, AUG. 31.—Three per Cents. 261 I, Five per Cents., 11k.

The Russian General BERG had a long interview with the latter on the 23d ult., the result of which was that an Hungarian Major was sent to General lIAYNAU to arrange terms for the capitulation. The impregnable position of Comorn induces KLAPKA to demand good conditions. The garrison of Deva, in Transylvania, blew up the fort rather than surrender to the Russians. Every man perished,and happier to have perished thus than to live like GEORGEY, " infamous and contented." The following letter from Temeswar throws some aditional light on the proceeding of this aristocratic traitor : " It is a fact (says the writer) that Georgey and his staff are treated in the most courteous and distinguished manner by the Russian General Rudiger. An Austrian officer who was sent with dispatches to General Ru diger's head quarters found Georgey and some twenty Hungarian officers dining with the Russian General, who with his officers was doing the honours of his table. The Austrian, on being invited to join the table, refused, on the ground that in his position as an Austrian officer he could not dine at the same table with rebels. The Austrian officers, on the other hand, are but coldly re ceived by the Russians. The disarming of Georgey's corps is said to have been very imperfect." The following incident shows that Russia is dis posed on all occasions to show her contempt for and her power over Austria. According to that journal, KOSSUTII'S notes, condemned by the Austrian autho rities, have been declared valid by the Russians, and are given and received by them in payment. We congratulate the Austrian EMPEROR and his satellites on the manner in which their "allies" are treating them, and feel inclined to address them in the words of VIRGINIUS— " Ye've helped to put your masters on your backs ; They like thtir place, and m a k e y ou s h ow your paces ." Count CASIMIR ESTERIIAZ Y has protested against the statement that the recently published letter by Kos swril was addressed to him. The letter was most probably addressed to Count CASIMIR BAIIIYANI. A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult., addressed to the li/dependance of Brussels, states that several of the Magyar chiefs have been executed by order of General IIAYNAU; among them are the ex- Minister of Justice, POPOYICH, and General DemuNicu, who have been hanged, and General AUFFERMANN, who has been shot. The Vienna journals state that General Jo wictf, an old man, who gave up the fortress of Essegg to the Magyars, had been taken to Vienna in chains. One of the journals states that the mother and children of KOSSUTH and the wives of several Magyar generals had arrived as prisoners at Presburg. The Ministry, it was again said, intended to maintain the Constitution of the 4th of March as the basis of the government of Hungary ; and there was some talk of General GYULAI being appointed civil and military governor of the kingdom. According to the Wanderer, the greater part of the Russian army had received orders to march to• wards Gallicia ; but the corps d'arrnea of General RUDIGER was to remain at Miskolcz and Grosswar dein. Buda and Pesth are to have a garrison of 30,000 men. _ . . The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia states, from Bucharest, that the Hungarian corps of PERCZEL had entered Orsowa, but that the Turkish authorities would not receive them until they had laid down their arms. It is stated by the Emancipation of Brussels that the Kings of WURTEMBURG and BAVARIA, and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, are about to have a conference on the German question. PRUSSIA. The First Prus s i an Chamber has completely ter minated its revision of the constitution in Committee, and will most probably proceed to to debate thereon in the course of a few days. The Committee of the Second Chamber have also arrived as far as the 34th section—that is, nearly half—so that hopes exist of both Chambers being aple to complete their task and submit it to the KING within three months. The cholera continues to rage in Berlin with un abated virulence. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN: The new Commission has issued a notification, for bidding all further recruiting for the Schleswig- Holstein army within the duchy, and liberating all individuals liable to serve in the land and sea forces from all such service during the continuation of the armistice. This notification is issued in direct con traniction to and in order to nullify the proclamation issued by the so-called Statholderate The Com missioners have also adopted severe measures for pre venting a renewal of the unfortunate collisions which have taken place between Danish seamen and others and Schleswigers. The Statholderate in the mean time continues its warlike preparations. POLANI). WARSAW, AUG. 30.—The Crown Prince of Wm- TEMBORG has arrived here from St. Petersburgh, and the Russian Ambassador to the Court of Prussia, Baron MEYENDORF, arrived here from Berlin. SWITZERLAND. The National Swiss Gazette of the ad states that the Federal Council of Switzerland had just ordered a further reduction in the federal troops. ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, of the 31st ult., states that Father FAVA, provincial of the con vent of Jesuits at Naples, on the 24th resumed the possession of the convent in the name of the order. The Venice Gazette of the 28th appears headed for the first time after the revolution with the Imperial arms. It contains a decree of Major- General DIEaKEs, Commandant of the :city of Venice, dated the 27th, permitting the entrance into the city of provisions of all sorts free of duty for a fortnight. The Gazette of the 29th con tains a decree 4 ' of the 27th from G enera l G ORZKOWSKI, Military and Civil Governor of Venice, abolishing the personal tax, and diminishing the price of salt. By another decree the free port of Venice is limited provisionally to the island of S. Giorgio Maggiore, and the navigation of Venice limited to four canals, until the custom-houses have been re-established. A third decree declares null and void all the acts of the revolutionary Government, and dissolves the Go vernment offices, the cameral magistrates, and the general direction of the police. We read in a letter from Venice, of the 28th ult. : —" The Austrians have on this very day taken de finitive possession of Venice. The conduct of the conquerors has been generally calm and moderate, and such as it ought to be in order not to provoke any fresh explosion of the bitter resentments which still keep rankling in the hearts of the vanquished. In spite of the new combination by the aid of which the Austrian artillery was able for more than twenty days to pour an incessant shower of both red hot and cold balls, which reaching the enormous range of 5,600 metres, rendered three fourths of the city uninhabitable, the Venetian popu lation bas comprehended that it ought, for a time at least, to suppress such just hatreds, that it was neces sary to yield to overwhelming force, that cries or murmurs of disapprobation were in certain situations ridiculous marks of vengeance, and that since the combat had ceased assassination was but the vengeance of cowards. The occupa tion has, therefore, taken place without disturbance, and:the Austrian:troops only met on their passage that silent and cold reception which might be expected from the people of Venice. This resistance of seven teen months, free from all those political crimes which add the evils of civil war to those of invasion and of conquest, will be recorded in history to the honour of the Venetian revolution. The coniinander of the French squadron, Captain BELVEZE, has not dis appointed the confidence reposed in him by the unfortunate Venetians. He came forward imme diately to assist those unfortunates, who were so worthy of compassion and of sympathy ; he received on board, and carried to C9rfu, the leading chiefs of the dying Republic. Before the entrance of the Austrians, he sent away by the Pluton about forty persons, who were the most deeply compromised, amongst whom were the President of the Republic MANIN and his family ; all those who had taken part in the Government during the eighteen months as Ministers or otherwise, Generals PEPE, ULLos, Aft- MANDY, DE COLANGE, &c. ; and merchant vessels were chartered to carry the remainder. General GORZ• KOWSKI has been appointed civil and military governor of Venice." ANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.) IN RE DELAFIELD.—THE ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT• GARDEN.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was rather quiet, without alteration in prices. The sales were es timated at 5,000 bales, including 4,000 American. 150 Pernam and Maranham went at 51d. to 6d., 500 Surat at 4d. to 41d., and 150 Sea Island at I Id. to Is. ld. per Railway Shares were dull at previous rater. The Rail way Share market has been as bad in the provinces as here, but the proportion of money business has been greatly below that for time and on speculation—not a tenth probably. The six weeks' official average price of wheat is 465. Bd. per quarter, and, as the market has been in decline re cently, we may expect to see it lower. The sales of home-grown continue, nevertheless, to exhibit, in com parison with the corresponding period of last year, a remarkable decrease, and this in the face of an abundant harvest, is a circumstance worth noting, as appearing to indicate short stocks. There are no ship arrivals to-day with late news of any interest. The reports from the continental stock markets ap prise us that the quotation of Austrian Metallics at Vienna, on the Ist instant, was 95k, and at Frankfort, en the 3d, a good deal was done, especially in shares. The Five per Cent. Austrian bonds were quoted 87*. In the Berlin market, en the 3d inst., considerable pur chases were made in railway shares, as well as in Stock, and the favourable tone of the foreign markets had a decided influence. At Amsterdam on Wednesday an animated business was doing in Dutch Bonds. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 54 According to an official statement, the note circulation of the Soc'tite G6rerale of Brussels was, on the 31st ult., 32,077,155 francs, and of the Bank of Bel gium 10,486,000 francs. The discounts of the principal banks from _the 16th to the 31st ult. were 5,139,814 francs. The state of the Money Market, of which our readers fairly expect us to render periodically an account, however trifling the variation, pre sents nothing within the last few days calling for any special comment. The large amount of bullion received by the West India mail, and the fact that 600,000 dollars were from California, certainly keeps alive the impression that our metallic currency will continue to receive a great addition, and such as will more than out weigh the ex ports to the continent, considerable as the latter have recently been. The probability also is that the American rate of exchange will be in favour of England for the present. We then have to consider, as before, whether there is much prospect of foreign loans in any shape being taken up here, and we would answer ourselves as well as others by the simple men tion of a fact. A firm in the City is now endeavouring to raise at six per cent., for ten years, the sum of 600,000/., authorised to be raised by a decree of the National Assembly of France upon the mortgage of public properties. This is not a large amount our readers will say, neither is the firm engaged, although of wealth and respectability, known as the usual contractors of such loans, but the affair is quite sufficient to show us that great efforts will he made to raise money here, whatever may be said to the contrary. In the English Stock Market to-day prices are very firm, although business is exceedingly in active. Consols bought 921 ; the New Three and- a- Quarter per Cents. 93i to 94, and the Three per Cent. Annuities, 94 Bank Stock has been supported at 1991 to 200, and India Stock has been marked 2524. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 395. to 425., and India Bonds 755. premium. In Foreign Stocks there is not the least activity. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 341 Portuguese Four per Cents are nominally 28 to 29, and Brazilian 85 to 87. Mexican Small have been done at 28. Dutch Four per Cents. are 85i. Railway Shares generally maintain the improvement of yesterday, and Midland have risen again. ONE 0 OCL( K. CLOSING eRTC'ES ttl , l t t)F UNDr3 Sank Stock 3 per Cent.
