MORNING SUN. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. The Moniteur of Wednesday contains no intelli gence from Toulouse, but the Moniteur Parisien of Tuesday evening asserts that the members of the former municipality had been arrested, and would be tried by the Court of Correctional Police, on account of their pro test against the Royal ordinance of the 24th ult., in virtue of the law of 1831, which punishes the offence imputed to these functionaries by an imprisonment of from one to . two years, and the deprivation of civil rights during five years. The National announces that numerous arrests had been made amongst the • military composing the garrison of Paris, for which no cause had been assigned. In Grenoble, on the 28th ult., a detachment of 700 re cruits traversed the streets, singing the Marseillaise hymn, and preceded by a large tn.-coloured flag, sur mounted by a Phrygian red cap, and bearing these words, " Vive la liberte et la reforme electorale." According to returns published by the Minister of Commerce, the quantity of wheat imported into France during the first six months of 1841, amounted to up • wards of 88,000 metrical tritintals, and the quantity stored in the entrepots, on the first of July last, was 120,000, besides 2,4,280 metrical quintals of other grain, and 28,000 of flour. We regret. to observe that a great deal of rain fell iu Paris on Tuesday and Wednesday. The temperature, however,lhad considerably increased.

The Auditor of War had asked leave of the Chamber of Deputies to prosecute two of its members for an assault committed by them on the editor of a Madrid newspaper. The Chamber of Deputies, by vote of 57 against 36, had authorised the raising of three millions of dollars at six per cent., at par, on the mort gage of some branches of the revenue. The Five per Cents. were done at 24 to 7-161 cash. GERMANY. Letters from Berlin, of the 28th ult., state that de spatches, received from Councillor Bunson, men= tioned that the Court of Vienna was desirous of forming a Confederacy of Christian Powers for the protection of the Christian population in the East, and that France and Great. Britain were equally favourable to such a plan, and were of opinion that as the Sultan was unable to prevent the oppression of the Sul tan's Paellas, it would be advisable that the Allies should send Commissioners to Syria to watch the conduct of the Turkish authorities. The Augsburgh Gazette announces that M. Guizot had given to the London Conference the most satisfac tory explanations respecting M. Piscatory's mission to Athens, which, it would appear, was quite unconnected with any desire to excite the Greeks to co-operate with the insurgents in the Turkish provinces. According -to the same Journal, Lord Palmerston had remonstrated with the Greek Government on its alleged interference on behalf of the Candiot insurgents. The French Cabinet, it was thought, would shortly follow the example of Great Britain. TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state that a report had been received from Mustapha Pa elm announcing that five engagements had taken place at Czusus between the 'lurks and the insur gents, and three at Candia, which had all terminated to the advantage of the former. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Candia had submitted. The Ottorban army had advanced to Spakia ; 600 muskets had already been surrendered by the insurgents. Protection was afforded to the families of the latter, and their property guaranteed. Na excesses whatever had been committed by the Albanians, as - falsely reported. The celebrated ltedschid Pacha has been appointed the Ottoman Minister at Paris. Redschid Pacha was to quit Constantinople for France towards the middle of August. There is a talk of a marriage between one of the Sul tan's sisters and the son of Mehemet Ali. The Viceroy seems in favour with the Porte, and magnificent presents are to be sent to him. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria, of the 18th, says that the English are not in the good graces of the Paella, and that Colonel Napier is not well received at the Palace. It confirms the report that 20,000 Albanians are being raised for Mehemet Ali. MEDITERRANEAN. The Oriental steamer arrived at two o'clock on Tues day afternoon at Falmouth, having left Alexandria on the 20th, Malta on the 24th, and Gibraltar on the 29th ult. The passengers by her were only twelve—viz.. Mr. and Mrs. Waghorn, Mr. Innis, .Captain Yule, Mr. Dudgeon, Mr. Eggue, Captain Morris, Major Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Green, Mr. Wilbraham, Mr. Bird, and 11r. Negroponte. The intelligence from the East has been anticipated Overland, via Marseilles ; and since leaving Malta nothing particular has occurred worth notice. She was to proceed at once for Southampton.

AMSTERDAM, AudusT 3.—We hear that the War Department has just sent the necessary instructions to the military authorities whom it concerns for enlisting foreigners to serve in his Majesty's troops now in the East and West Indies. • _ FRANKFORT, JULY 31.—Letters from Vienna say that the book debts of the house of Geymuller amount to 3,425,850 florins. There is not a country in Europe that does not lose by this bankruptcy. Some of the principal nobility suffer severely by it. According to the Austrian laws the book debts are in the fourth class, so that their creditors can have little to expect. Persons from all parts of Germany, who seem to be more or less interested in this bankruptcy, have already arrived at Vienna. No exact estimate has yet been made known of the deposit debts and of the bills of exchange, which are very considerable. Count Kolowrath has left Vienna for his estate in bohemia.

The National of Tuesday publishes a most desponding article on the state of the French Navy, in which it asserts that " want of discipline, disorder, and anarchy, are the characteristieS of that service , that " the fl eet is intrusted to incapable Commanders ;" that " there are only sufficient ships for a first engagement ;" that " the dockyards and arsenals are destitute of supplies ;" th a t " the sea-ports are the theatre of incredible dlialtda tions ;" and that, "in fact, enormous sums are squan dered for no other purpose but to prevent the suscepti bility of 'the nation from being alarmed." The National adds, that " the late cruise made by Admiral Hugon was directed without intelligence, and produced no other result than that of fatiguing the crews, and of furnishing new proofs of the incapacity of many Commanders w ho had been already reported to the Minister. Admiral Casy was obliged to announce to a Captain under his command, that whenever any difficult circumstances should occur, he (the Admiral) would feel himself com pelled to take the command of his ship." " Admiral Hugon himself," continues the National, " knows no more about tactics than his Captains. On one occasion when the fleet was formed in columns, the Admiral, whose position required that he should be the last to tack, was nevertheless the first to do so. Such an error could not be committed with impunity in face of an enemy. Admiral Hugon might sit with advantage at the Board of Admiralty, or might be safely interred in the Chamber of Peers, but his position at the head of a neet'is a question of life and death for that service." " Another fact which merits the serious attention of the country is, that since the reign of Louis XVI. the supply of naval stores in the dockyard was never so deficient, whilst the navy budget proves that Great Britain, whose shins, according to Abd-el-Kader's assertion, are soon to intercept the passage to 'Algiers, does much more than France with less money." FALMOUTH, Auo. 3.—The Trinity steam yacht, 'Which came in here on Saturday last, got under weigh yesterday, and took in tow the light vessel, intended to be placed on the " Seven Stones," which she, brought from London ; but, owing to its blowing a fresh gale to-day from the south-west, with very thick and dirty weather, it is presumed they will be obliged to go into the Mounts Bay for shelter. An immense quantity of rain has fallen within the last week, but more particularly yesterday and to-day: and should it continue a few days longer, the damage to the corn crops will be very serious. An 'engraier, who had produced several prints of achnoWledged merit, committed suicide a few days ago lfrom P. Cause which shows that hi s s t reng th of mind was y no' Items ecynd to his talent.

We learn from Manchester that the meeting of Ministers on the subject of the Corn-laws pro mises to be very useful and very successful. Some hundreds of ministers, from all parts of the kingdom, have written to the Committee to an nounce their intention to be present. To make their assembling as useful as possible, a circular has been sent by the Secretary to all those gen tlemen who mean to attend, informing them that they may serve the cause of humanity by bring ing with them facts carefully collected which are calculated to illustrate the condition of the labouring classes. The following are some of the particulars to which their attention is invited : Are the working classes in your neighbourhood gene rally well employed, or otherwise ?—State the average weekly wages paid, distinguishing between skilled and unskilled labourers. Has the amount of their earnings been increased or diminished within your experience, and how much ? How have you found the demand fur labour to be, af fected by cheap or dear food ? Have wages risen with the rise of the price of food, and fallen with its fall, and in what proportion ? Is the condition of the labouring population, as a class, better or worse now, as compared with former periods, within your experience ? What proportion do the poor-rates in your parish bear to those of former periods ? _ _ . Refer to prison reports, and to reports of infirmaries, dispensaries, and other charities, for statistics of the state of crime, disease, and destitution in your neigh bourhood now, as compared with former periods. If your experience lie in a rural district, state whe ther the wages paid to agricultural labourers are regu lated according to the number of children. What is the state of the middle class in your district, such as the small trader, &c. ? Is their condition im proved or deteriorated now as compared with former pe riods within your experience ? Have you perceived any connection between high and law-priced food and an increase or diminution of the funds of your religious and benevolent societies ? Have you found any falling-off in the numbers of your congregation in consequence of the distress occasioned by the high price of food ? Has there been any decrease in the attendance of the scholars at your Sunday schools, and if so, to what cause do you attribute it ? If these suggestions be well and widely acted upon—and we earnestly recommend gentlemen who cannot attend to send to Manchester all the facts which they think worthy of notice—a vast body of information of the most authentic kind, concerning the condition of the industrious classes, will be collected by men who are placed in the most favourable situation for acquiring ac curate knowledge. We, however, would ven ture to suggest that the inquiries should be quite as much into the moral as into the econo mical condition of the labourers. The " statis tics of crime, disease, and destitution," should not be incidental illustrations, but the principal objects of inquiry in connection with seasons of plenty and scarcity. Tables of mortality, where any have been kept, and registers of marriages and births, if properly examined, will throw much valuable light on the effect of the varying prices of food. It will be useful also to ascer tain in agricultural parishes, whether the sti mulus supposed to have been given by the Corn-laws to agriculture has had the effect of bringing more land into cultivation, and so of extending employment for agricultural la• bourers, or of promoting improved husbandry, farmers, and so di m i n i s hi n g employ men t, while the rent of thelandowners, if not the profit of the halt been much increased. Considering the gre a t outcry w hi c h t h e P ro- C orn -l aw men have made as to t h e Corn-laws producing em ployment f or agricultural labourers, a complete a elucidatio of * this point will be of considerable importance. Nor should th e omitted from amusements of the people be the vv i_n . vestigatton. In towns, those despised plac es destroyed, the Inch the Tories want to have Population of which is exposed every day to their fake and calumnious accu sations, a great pr ogress h as o f l ate b een ma d e , by means of mechanic s ' an d literary institutions , by museums, and public exhibitions, in pro viding a great fund of harmless and rational amusement for the industrious classes. Have any such efforts been made to promot e th e im provement and happiness of the agricult ura l la bourers? What 14 the cultivation of their taste as well as the cultiv ation of th eir morals? What effect on their mental im p ro v e ment, on their so cial habits, and on thei r civilization, is produ ce d by continually extending the parks and preserves of the landowners ? Do the peasantry learn from their adorned country-seats to acquire any taste for sculpture and painting ? Do their music -halls send forth sounds which improve the ear and the voice of their toiling serfs ? Or is the state of music and song--the amusements of an idle hour, and the solace of many of the lesser griefs to which our nature is subject—ruder and more vulgar amongst the agricultural labourers of England, than in the whole compass of the civilized world ? From the little we know of the amusements of agricultural labourers, and the' present state of the fine arts amongst them, which, in contradistinction from the mechanic arts, are taken under the exclusive patronage of the Tories—we can venture to say, at least of the peasantry of the North of England, that they are, in all that concerns song, much below " the I rude Carinthian. boor." The whole condition of this, we think, degraded if. not unhappy race of men requires to be known, and the whole of that cannot be known unless their amusements, and the state of the fine arts amongst them, be included in _the knowledge, and they be con trasted on these points with the calumniated town population. In rural villages the surveillance of the squire and the parson is complete. They cannot complain there of dense masses of human beings mocking their povier, to examine and control them in detail; and the whole world would be much instructed, could it now be accurately in formed of the sort of man the squires and the parsons—the united bread-taxers—have made of the agricultural labourer. We are afraid that too few ministers will go from agricultural dis tricts to give the necessary information, for in them the monopoly of instruction is even closer than the monopoly of food. The aristocracy and the clergy are responsible to GOD and their country for the condition of the rural population, and that is such that a. Bohemian serf or a Ger man boor would be greatly degraded were he converted into an agricultural labourer. We do hope, therefore, that an endeavour will be made by the ministers to ascertain the whole condition of the agricultural labourer, and make it known to the world. An end was yesterday put, by the publication of Lord JonN RUSSELL'S Circular Letter, to all doubts as to the day when Parliament will as semble. On the 19th, the day fixed for the re turn of the writs, the Commons will meet to choose a Speaker. On the ensuing Tuesday, we believe, after the Members have been sworn in, her MAJESTY, if her health permit, will open the Parliament for the despatch of business by a Speech from the -?Fhrone, which will express some sentiments relittive to those measures of the Ministers, to which the Tories will not assent. We have heard that Mr. VILLIERS is likely to move or second the Address, and ensure a hear ing for the Corn-law question, as well as make that a prominent subject of discussion. The Tories will move, it is supposed, an amendment to the Address, and the debate on the subject will probably last the whole of the remainder of the week, if not longer. At its close, a division will show the relative strength of parties, and thereupon, resignations will, it is supposed, im mediately follow, and the formation of a new Cabinet. About September the 10th, Sir RO BERT PEEL, with his forces in order, will be pre pared, we presume, to meet the Parliament to ark for a vote of credit, to pass a Bill to conti nue the Poor-law Commission for another year; then he will be ready to dismiss the gentle men to pheasant shooting, expressing his re gret that they have been summoned from their genial and delightful pursuits on the moors and the stubbles to the close and unhealthy at mosphere of the House of Commons. So will be postponed till after Christmas all knowledge of what Sir R. PEEL can or will do to restore commercial prosperity, and so will the interest of the nation, fbol that the nation is to trust its dearest interests in such hands, be postponed, that the Legislature may enjoy the more gratifying sport of hunting hares and shooting pheasants. We take it for granted, that the present Mem bers will allude to no other measures in the QUEEN'S Speech than those on which an appeal was made to the people, and that the odium which belongs, in many persons' estimation, to continuing the Poor-law Commission will be wholly left to the friends and patrons of the Times. If Sir R. PEEL and his party choose to continue that measure, let them do it, and let not the Tory papers have an opportunity hence forth of saying that the new Poor-law was ex clusively a Whig measure. Whatever may be its demerits, they belong to PEEL and the squires, who must now be exposed to the blame of the Times, and avow their responsibility to the nation. The doctrines of the free traders are either stupidly misunderstood or wilfully misrepre sented by their opponents. What the free traders require is the restoration to all men of their natural liberty to buy and sell where they like and when they like. They do not ask for favour or affection for any branch of industry. On the contrary, they condemn as loudly all at tempts to bolster up manufactures as to bolster up agriculture. They say that such attempts are an interference with the employment of capital by individuals, and they have learnt from their great master, ADAM SMITH, to denounce that as an act of sheer folly. The opponents of the free traders, however, represent them as aiming at exalting manufac tures and at depressing agriculture. They are said to advocate excessive manufacturing. Now really this is either a stupid mistake or a wilful attempt to lead the public astray. The free traders advocate and favour neither one branch of industry nor another. They believe that agriculture and manufactures are equally essential to social prosperity as the two legs are essential to the locomotion of the body. They say, leave both to the fostering and protecting hand of nature, and allow society, of the future condition of which nobody knows anything, to grow as nature dictates. _ _ _ - It is a remark of Mr. STEWART that the human body is one of the last things man allows to at tain its full form; but we think man is more slow in allowing the full development of society than of the human body. The latter, however, is complete in an immense number of in dividuals, and when. savages flatten their children's heads, or elongate their nostrils, they may imitate some, as they suppose, perfect model of the human form. No society, however, has been complet. There is nothing like a model community upon which the meddlers with society can form it. Now free traders want only that so ciety shall be released from the gyves and strait jackets with which these meddlers, with greater barbarity than ever a savage showed to the human form, have . sought to fetter society. To represent free traders as pampering one branch of industry and starving another, is quite unwar rantable. They desire freedom and prosperity, fair play, and justice for all. Every rainy day fills the community with alarm. The people tremble for the harvest, and a few fine or foul days will now make a difference of millions to the wealth of the country, and of life or death to many poor persons. The corn markets, so far as sales are effected, are rising rapidly. The Averages published to-day show a rise of 4s. Id. since last week ; and as the average of the six weeks, 655. 2d., is below the average of the week, 68s. 3d. the average of the six weeks will be higher next week,even should very fine weather prevent a fur ther rise in the markets. The duty recorded to-day is 21s. Bd. Last week it was 225. Bd.; and it will now, we hope, for the sake of the people, rapidly decline. The postponement of the har vest by the ungenial weather has compelled the dealers to have recourse to foreign countries to eke out our supply, and the great object at pre sent must be to bring that quantity into con sumption from abroad without paying any duty. The people will suffer from high prices, and no thing will be contributed to the revenue. There is not much news of any interest in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the projected aug mentation of the import duties in the United States, which our Parisian Contemporary regards as calculated to inflict considerable injury on French commerce. The following is an analysis of the article in the Debuts, which will interest our commercial readers : The Debats begins by stating that the United States receive annually French produce and manufactures to the amount of 120 to 130,000,000 fr., of which on an average 50 millions are in silks, 12 millions in wines,and brandies, 8 or 10 millions in cambrics, lawns, and linens,. and 20 to 25 millio ns in furniture and other articles of taste of Parisian manufacture. Immediately afterwards, however; the Debats informs us that the imports of French merchandise into the United States, in 1839, amounted to 175 millions of francs, of which the amount duty free was 115 millions, and that which paid duty • 170 millions, this duty, however, not exceeding upon about a quarter or a third of the amount 5, 10, or 15 per cent. upon the estimated value. Accustomed as we are to errors in the French journals where figures are concerned, we must confess that in a statistical article, and in a paper which is generally got up as to its original articles with so much care, they create some surprise. The Debats does not explain why the imports ofFrench produce and manufactures into the United States are estimated here at 120 or 130 millions annually, whilst the official returns in America, for 1839, state them at 175 millions ; and as the division of this sum, according to the Debats, makes, when added together 185, and not 175 millions, we are unable to say whether the amount of imports is the larger or the smaller sum. Errors of this nature are of little importance in themselves, but they sometimes affect the reasoning of an article, and they are calculated to create an impression that it was written in haste, which should never be the case where statistics are con cerned. The Debuts then goes on to observe, thatAfAhe projected duty of 20. per cent. upon imports should be enforced, two-thirds of the whole amount of French goods imported into the United States will be subject to an augmentation of duty, which would affect the demand the more, as the articles exported to that country are chiefly objects of luxury rather than necessity, and are, therefore, less likely to meet with a sale at an increased price. The United States, says the Debuts, are entering upon an unwise course, and it reminds the Government of that country, that the prosperity of a nation, and its public credit, do not consist in its Customs' revenues. This is a truism which few good political economists will, per haps, be inclined to dispute, and it would be well if it were more adopted by different Governments. The Debats, however, declares that France has set an example of commercial liberality to the United States in the treaty of 1822, and that if she permitted the Americans to have the carrying trade of the cottons, which she imports, it was probably because in return they received the greater part of French goods into their own country duty free, and levied very moderate duties upon the rest. The Debats concludes by expressing a hope that the United States, in the interest of their relations with Europe, and particularly with France, will not hesitate to reject the new fiscal measure which is proposed, and calls upon the representatives of French interests to protest with energy against a project, which, if realised, would, it says, vitiate the principle of the treaties between France and the United States, and be a retrograde step in a commercial policy which has hitherto been liberal and enlightened. " The man," says the Journal du Loiret, "who car ried away the two yotinggirls from Orleans, a few days ago, has been taken mid recognised, but no traces of the children have been discovered as yet, and there is every reason to fear that their brutal raptor has murdered them, after having treated them in a manner most outraging to humanity. On the 29th ult. the villain was seen and arrested at Jargeau, about four leagues from Orleans, and brought into that town atilidst the execra tions of the people, who at length became so violent, that a considerable armed force could with difficulty save him from being torn to pieces. His name is Serein, he is about fifty years of age, and in easy circumstances, having a tobacconist's bureau at Ferolles, near Jargeau. He a lias preserved the most dogged silence as to the treatment and fate of his innocent victims, but the bottom of his cart has evidently been . stained with blood, though endeavours have been made to wash it out. Similar marks are also perceptible on his clothes. He has been taken back to Jargeau, with the cart, in order to collect the testimony of those who may have seen him in the interval between the carrying off the children and his capture. P.S2 . The following have just been given us as the results of this excursion. He was ac companied by the Procureur du Roi, the Procureur- General, and the Examining Magistrate. In every com mune by the way he was recognised, and received with in dignation. He, however, continued to protest his innocence till he came within sight of his own village, when, over come with shame and compunction, he made a partial confession, which the Magistrate took down in the cart itself. Serein admitted that he had taken away the children, and declared that he had left them in certain fields, but had not murdered them. The cart was driven to the spot indicated by him, where spots of blood were to be seen, but no other traces of the objects of search could be found. Ferolles was the next point. Here his house was minutely inspected, and in it was discovered one shoe of the eldest of the missing girls, her comb, and a red ribbon she wore, all of them spotted with blood. No further traces have yet been met with." "A. short time ago," says the Constitutionnel, " Count Arrivabene and M. Bianchi, of Milan, two young men of 18 to 20 years of age, being at Nice, and wishing to make a trip to France, but not having pass ports, engaged two men to ferry them over the river Var. When they were in the middle of the stream, these men plunged their passengers into the water, held them down until they thought they were drowned, then returned to Nice with the - money and effects of their victims. One of the young men, being able to swim, gained the bank, where he lay exhausted and apparently dead, but was found on the following morning and re stored. The news of this crime having reached the police, the authors of it were sought for; and one of them was ar*ehended in a public-house, where he was en deavouring to sell some of the • stolen property. The other escaped into France, but is said to have been since lodged in prison, on the application of the Sardinian authorities." We are requested.to state that the gentleman upon whom the Pope has conferred' the title of Count is not the Hon. James Talbot of Malahide, but Mr. James Talbot, of the county of Wexford, and brother to the lase Member for Ross. Two men, nameaNititc and Ferry, who, as our readers may remember, murdered a man named Delahaye, at St. Vaast, in the Seine Jpferieure, aided by the wife and sister of the victim, to whom they were paramours, were executed at Rouen the day before yesterday, in pur suance of the sentence of the Court of Assize in May last. They died penitent. The two women, who had also been condemned to death, have had their penalties commuted into hard labour for life ; the wife of Dela haye being enceinte. Duclos, who was brought before the Court of Peers with Darmes and Buret as an accomplice in the attempt to shoot the King, but acquitted, made his appearance on Saturday before the Cour Royale, upon a double ap peal, one by himself, and another by the public prose cutor, against the judgment of the Correctional Tribunal, whereby he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and a fine of 300 fr., for having been found in possession of warlike ammunition, but acquitted of that part of the indictment which accused him of being a Communiste. The Court confirmed the sentence of conviction and punishment, but rescinding that of the acquittal, consi dering it to have been fully_ proved that the prisoner had belonged to an unlicensed association, and therefore ad judged him to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, in which the pre vious 300 francs is to merge. Several objects of antiquity have just been disco vered at Lyons, whilst digging the foundations of a new building, on the hill of Fourvieres, the Forum vetus of the Romans. Amongst them are a complete set of jewels, which eighteen hundred years ago were the ornaments of some great Roman lady, viz., an emerald necklace, a pair of ear-rings, set with various precious stones, an other necklace, probably of amethysts, but much altered by time, a curious chain, at least two yards in length, some rings, upon one of which is engraved a proper name, in Latin, and the words devoted to Venus, three pairs of bracelets, several large and fine pearls, &c., The gold of the bracelets and other articles, is so pure, that it was as bright as if it had just come from a jew eller's shop. "The pediment of the Chamber of Deputies," says the Moniteur, "is the fourth in rank as to size of all known structures of the same ordir. The greatest is that of the Madeleine, the inner dimensions of which are 108 feet in length at the base, a(tO twenty-four feet in height. The figure of Christ is seYkisteen feet in stature. Next follows the Pantheon of Parii, which measures 106 feet by 21. The third is the Pantheon at Rome which has 91 feet by 19. The measurement of that of the Chamber of Deputies is 90 feet by 16 feet, the figures being in the proportions . of between 12 and 13 feet in height." Two days ago, a man, who was cleaning out a sewer in the Rue de Navarin, was nearly suffocated by the mephitic vapour. A courageous pang man immediately went down with a rope tied round him, and, in a fear minutes returned with the other, who was almost dead, but medical assistance being at italid he was soon'restored. " The following tragical event," says the Constitu tionnel, " occurred a short time ago at Florence. A negro in the servic&of Prinee C•tani:Zi, having amassed some money, received the consei& of the parents of a young. girl named litinciata Goldoni to his marriage with her ; but as the girl was a fervent Catholic, and Za mor, the negro, a M a h om etan, every possible effect was made to bring about his conversion. These efforts, how ever, were fruitless, and the marriage ceremony was delayed. The father of the girl having invited the negro to dinner, he ate heartily, but rejected the wine when pressed to drink, upon which Nunciata said with a smile :—‘ There is no danger in'vlrinking wine now, as you are no longer a Mahometan' for you have been eat ing pork.' Furious at the trick that had been practised, Zamor immediately stabbed the girl to the heart, and her parents having attempted to defend her, he also killed the father, and next attacked the mother and her son, whom he also killed. Two soldier*, having heard the cries of the victims, rushed to the spot, when Zamor snatched up a gun which was at; hand, and shot one of them dead. The other soldier *relied his carbine and shot the negro, who died on the spot." We spoke yesterday of the acccident which had happened to his Majesty the King of Sardinia. A pri vate letter, which we have this_lsoment received from Turin, dated the 29 th of July,Finnounces that in fact his Majesty the King of Sardinia bad had a fall from his horse, in his park of Raconis, bra that this accident did not hinder him from mounting Ids horse again, and con tinuing his ride. The accounts re perfectly satisfac tory ; his Majesty scarcely feels any effects from his fall, and has not interrupted his usual occupations. We see with joy that this accident will have no serious conse quences : the King of Sardinia is one of the best Kings in Christendom, etotirely devoted to the happiness of his people ; Remont and Savoy are indebted to him for im portant improvements, and the great works which he has caused to be executed do honour to the enlightened views and the wiadem of his Government. —La Gazette de France. Coynt Demidoff and the Princess Matilda Napo leon, his wife, are expected at Paris by the 15th of August. On several occasions M. de Mesnard has been seen in attendance on Queen Christina. M. de Mesnard was formerly the attendant of the Queen's sister, the Duchess of Berry, and accompanied her "in her expedition in La Vendee. A Parisian correspondent of the Prussian State Gazette says, " A reconciliation has lately taken pl ace bet ween Queen Christina and the Duchess of Berry;. this is the reason that we have seen Count de Mesnard accompanying the Queen on her visit to some of the curiosities of Paris.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The funds were very flat to-day, although the sales effected were not of an important character. The old cause, however, still operates upon the market, viz., the variation in the weather. Consols for immediate trans fer were at 891 to 891, and for the account 891 to 891, the former closing at 89?, and the latter at 891. Exche quer Bills did not range higher than 14s. to 16s. premium, and India Bonds were steady at Bs. premium. Bank Stock was rather lower, viz. 169, and East India Stock dropped to 247. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 981 to I, andthe Three per Cents. 001 to 891. Scarcely any business was done in the Foreign market. Spanish Active Bonds were 191 to 1, New Portuguese 29/ to 30, and Colombian 20.. Belgian Old Five per Cents. receded from 102 to 1011.; Russian were sup ported at 114,1 ; and Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 52 to 52/. The Railway Shares sell with some steadiness, taking into consideration the droaping condition of the markets for our own as well as the foreign securitiq. Great Western original shares were 18A. to 19, the New 8 to 81, the Fifths, 51 to 51 ; the Grand Junction, Half Shares, 50 ; the London and Birmingham, 70 to 71i ; and the South Western, 131 premium. The Brighton realised 6+ to 7k ; the Blackwell, 94 to 91 ; the Green wich, New, 21 ; and the Bristol and Exeter, 28 discount. Commercial Bank of London Shares were 25 discount. London and Westminster Bank Shares were 21 premium. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 4.—The business done in the Cotton Market:to-day is to a very limited extent, the sales not amounting to more than 2,000 to the trade. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AUG. 4.—The Market generally has been dull. The sales have been :—Glas gow, Paisley, and Greenock, 20i; London and Birming ham, Quarter-shares, 22-1 Ditto, New Shares, 241. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUGUST 4.—The market to-day has been quiet ; prices are firm. London and Birmingham, 160 161 ; Ditto. 321., 53 54 ; Ditto, 32/., New, 24 24/ ; London and South Western; 524 ; North Midland Half• shares, 32k; Manchester and Liver pool Plate Glass, 31. 18s. 9d. The Oriental steamer has arrived at Falmouth from Malta, with the remainder of the Overland Mail from India, but does not bring any additional news to that al ready published. Ship letters have been received from St. Vincent and Sydney, New South Wales, but they are of an old date. There is but little business doing in the Stock Ex change, and the quotations remain without alteration, but the markets are firm. Consols are 891 for Money, and 894 for the Account ; Bank Stock, 1693- 170 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 90* ; Three-and-a-Half per Cent., 994 ; Exchequer Bills, 14 16 ; and India Bonds 6 9 premium. Spanish Active Stock, 194 i; Portuguese Five per Cent. 294 304- ; Ditto Three per Cents. 171 18. The business transacted in the Stock Market continues very limited, there being but little disposition among the brokers to speculate in either the English or Foreign Securities. Both Markets are rather flatter since the opening, which is chiefly attributed to the unsettled state of the weather. Consols are now 891 for Money, and 89:1 for the Account ; Bank Stock 169 ; lndia Stock 247 ; Ex chequer Bills 14 16, and India Bonds 8 premium. Spanish Active Stock is 19i 4 : Portuguese Five per Cents., 291- 30 ; Colombian Bonds, 20 ; Danish, 79 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 i 1 ,- ; Dutch Five per Cents., 102. Very little doing in Shares. Great Western are 84 ; ditto Fifths, 9i ; London and Brighton, 43k ; ditto Greenwich, 171 ; Bristol and Exeter, 32. The advices from Vienna, via Holland, allude, it is gratifying to observe, to the existence of a much more tranquil feeling in the money market, and it is positively stated that the head of the firm of Geymuller has not withdrawn from the capital. It is noted as a singular circumstance, that, although the prospects for the har vest in Austria are represented to be very favourable, there corn ruled high in all the principal markets. In Holland money seems much cheaper than with us. Consols, Account, 894 sellers ; Colombian, 20 k ; Mexi can 251 26 ; Spanish 19i Nothing doing to cause any remark.

We made a late attendance at the Public Concert of Choral and Madrigal Music, which was held at the Harp alley School-room yesterday evening, and were so far delighted as to wish that we had been earlier. In common with many of the arts, music is descend ing from the elevated tripods which she once occu pied, and instead of having her fair and festal preaence monopolized alone by Royal Academies and courtly cliques, begins to walk in engaging familiarity among all classes of the children of men. Till this came to pass—and only the last few years have effected it—the beauty of the vox humana arid its first capabilities were known but to a limited few, and the sweetness which the larynx comprehended in itself, was, among the people at large, little developed. But by the forma tion of musical societies, such as the one in question, good natural powers have been trained by masters into tuneable order, so that the voice has, in many instances, been enabled to conduct itself through the pleasing windings of a song, or the more intricate evolutions of the choir. On casting our eyes over last evening's programme, we were surprised to see that names, which some twenty years back were strange even to the more occult culti vators of the science, were even here, inter pupillares, ' becoming familiar as household words. Nay, not names alone, but strains and harmonies. A chaste composition of the German Gluck opened the evening's vocal display, and Danby was made to warble his hymn to the Oiolian lyre." The amatory odes of Lord Mornington were very charmingly executed. " Cynthia, thy song and chanting," by the captivating musician Giovanni Croce, was sung with equal taste wad delicacy. One female voice attracted our attention in particular ; it rang with a clear sweet tone, and in more energetic parts, topped the whole concert choir. The united efforts of the band also, told admirably in the soft effusion of Festa's " Down in a flowery vale." Indeed the sotto voce parts throughout were very winningly managed. To see so much simplicity displayed in the pursuit and cultivation of the science is itself attractive, and we must confess that clear and simple enun ciations of airs and ballads, please the ear far better than the unmeaning bravuras of operatic flights. We would any day rather listen to the singing of the lint• white in the broom, than to the the ordered trill of any petted song-bird. An excellent plan is adopted, also, before every chant. A tiny precentor stands up, and distinctly repeats the words, ere they are rendered vocal by the choir. The credit due to the organizer and ma nager of the 100 voices which compose the choral body, and the praiseworthy manner in which the whole recipro cates his attention by improving on his instructions, ask for great praise. Counting the forms by twenties, there must, have been about 300 persons composing last evening's audience. The pleasure evinced by their countenances, and their calls for repetitions of many chaunts, were themselves the best testimonies to the evening's concert. THE WORLDLY MINDED.....-.The thoughts of worldly men are for ever regulated by a moral law of gravitation, 'which, like the physical one, holds them down to earth. The bright glory of the day, and the silent wonders of a starlight night, appeal to their minds in vain. There are no signs in the sun, or in the moon, or in the stars for their reading. They are like some wise men, who, learning to know each planet by its pro per name, have quire forgotten such small heavenly con stellations as charity, forbearance, universal love and mercy, although they shine by night and day so brightly that the blind may see them ; and who, looking up at the spangled sky, see nothing there but the reflection of their own great wisdom and book learning.—Humphrey's Cloch. SUMitiARY OF NEWS AND Public Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Duke d'Amaule, fourth son of the King of the French, has returned to France from Africa, thoroughly disgusted with the cut-throat and incendiary system of warfare carried on between the soldiers of General Bu geaud and Abd-el-Kader. French Africa is a bad school for the education of such preux chevaliers as the Royal scions of the stock of Orleans, and we are therefore not surprised that Princes so honourably and virtuously nur tured, shrink from the very touch of such victorious bays as encircle the brows of a Bugeaud and a Clausel. A son of France would blush to conduct a razia. The late Municipal Council of Toulouse protested against the Royal Ordinance pronouncingits dissolution, and in mimic imitation of the first National Assembly voted its sittings to, be permanent. It also refused to admit the new Mayor, Baron Lejeune, whose installation on the 31st was effected by force. The late Mayor, M. d'Arzac, has been arrested, and will most likely be sent to Paris. These Toulousians are such troublesome fel lows that the Government is likely to lose more than it will gain by quarrelling with them. The leven of insurrection has been discovered in the heart of the military garrisons at Paris. Several ar rests were reported to have taken place in consequence on Wednesday morning. The French soldiers have a trick of remembering, reciting, and construing literally certain orations made by the Citizen King immediately after the July revolution, which, to say the least of it, manifests a poor progress in the discipline of Courts. The . execution of three criminals at Home on the 20th ult. led to a tumult, in which 12 Persons were killed and 200 wounded. The last of the three dying wretches uttered furious imprecations against the spec tators, who thereupon were seized with a panic, and fled. They were attacked by thieves, and the result we have stated above. This is another of the bitter fruits of an adherence to the murderous and inhuman system of capital punishments. And then think of the horrible iniquity of extinguishing the life of a wretch while in the act of imprecating destruction Upon his fellow creatures ! Sending him with hatred in his heart and. curses upon his tongue befOre the awful judgment-seat of God It is awful. The Sultan and Mehemet Ali, as .the Tamworth quack in days of yore said of the British nation and the national debt, are " quite in a family way ;" the Sultan having made an offer of the hand of one of his sisters to a son of the Viceroy. Such a mark of the Imperial favour often occasions the object of it many wry faces. The happy bridegroom of a Sultana cannot increase his harem without her permission ; cannot enter her apartments without leave ; must place no limits to her extravagance ; and wanting, in the discharge of any marital duty, must patiently endure the application of his lady's slipper to his mouth, without so much as daring to look offended. Sultanas are privileged terma gants, and are usually bestowed upon Paellas of whom the Porte has some dread. The Sultan, if he pleases, may either destroy or mutilate their offspring. A letter from Constantinople of the 14th ult. repre sents the Candian insurrection as virtually suppressed, and denies that the Albanians were guilty of any ex cesses. If they have subdued the Candiotes we have little doubt that it will be discovered at Constantinople that they behaved like lambs. It was their gentle bleat ing that frightened the Candiotes into submission. Is Tahir Pacha, then, to send no heads to Constantinople? Reschid Pacha, the ex-Turkish Premier, is to be sent as Ottoman Ambassador to Paris. We may hence infer that the Reform party is regaining -its lost ground at the Porte. The English are in bad odour at Alexandria. This is because they keep too vigilant an eye upon the move ments of the Viceroy, whose intrigues are known to our Government. But for England, Mehemet Ali would quickly regain all the ground he lost in consequence of the Treaty of London. He is raising 20,000 Albanians, nominally to assist him in restoring the tranquillity of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, but in reality to re• establish his authority over the portion of Arabia for merly subject to his arms. The Belgian exhibition of arts and manufactures was opened at Brussels on the Ist inst. All the authori ties were present assisting at the ceremony. M. Bartolot, formerly editor of the Courrier Belge;has been fined 10,000 f. for a libel on the chief of the Medical Staff. The Marquis of Douglas, the Duchess of Hamil ton, and other very distinguished persons from Great Britain have arrived at Brussels. ruitmic OPIAVIOINT. The Morning Poet institutes an elaborate comparison between the state of the operatives in manufacturing towns and the labourers in agricultural districts, the object of which is to show that the landlords and farmers are, generally speaking, a less selfish and grasping class of men than the master-manufacturers. Our Contempo rary, though he insists warmly on this point, fails to es tablish it by argument. The Times, in an article written,with some address on the case of Macleod, endeavours to embroil this coun try with the United States, by putting the worst con struction on the case, observing :—" As long as the American Government find that we may be trifled with. with impunity, they are willing to gratify the passions of the populace by anticipations- of the judicial murder of one of the Queen of England's officers. If by any fatal mischance that monstrous act should ever be con summated, the horror and disgust of the whole civilised world will fall as heavily on the statesmen by whom it was tolerated, as on the savages by whom it was com mitted." The Morning Advertiser refers in just terms of praise to the convocation of Ministers of the Gospel who are about shortly to assemble at Manchester, for the purpose of deliberating on the best means for pro curing the immediate and entire abolition of the corn monopoly. " These Rev. Gentlemen," says our Contemporary, " very properly disclaim all political or party feeling in the enterprizes in which they have embarked. They have been induced to enter the arena against the corn monopolists, solely from considerations of benevolence and humanity." This Con-- vocation speaks trumpet-tongued for the enlarged hu manity of those who have projected it. Never before were clergymen engaged in a juster or more righteous cause. It is an attempt at a practical enforcement of the favourite doctrine of our Saviour—Peace on earth, good will to men. " It is nothing new for the nobility or gentry of either party"—says the Herald, with reference to Lord F. Egerton's rumoured scheme of raising a body of Ca valry—" to maintain bodies of cavalry to aid the civil force in those districts where experience has shown that such aid may be occasionally useful ; nor (lid any one ever suppose that such bodies were raised.with an ulterior and sinister object. No sensible man would have sus pected the Whig Lord Yarborough, for instance, of meditating feudal oppression or compassing civil war, because he maintains a splendid corps of yeomanry in North Lincolnshire." Certainly not, for we have confidence in his Lordship's principles, and know that he will never exert his influence to dis perse or cut down bodies of people assembled peaceably to discuss their grievances,. But is this the case with the Tories? With the example of the Peterloo massacre before us, perpetrated by a troop of Tory yeomanry, we are fully justified in regarding with distrust the creation of another such troop, officered' by men .who have always looked on public meetings with the eyes of fear and jealousy. The Chronicle observes—" We have received a let ter from Manchester, which gives a most alarming ac count of the state of things in that great capital of the manufacturing districts. You will hear (says our cor respondent) of meetings of the unemployed thousands soon—quiet at first, but who can answer for the results when angry and hungry thousands meet ? Now, Sir, you may believe me or not, but I must state my opinion, and that very plainly—nothing but commercial reform, including a great alteration in the Corn-laws, and that very speedily too, can save this country I shudder while I write it, but ask nine men out of ten that you meet here, and the impression on their mind is, that there is something In the present &stress so awful as to defy descripfAn, and therefore they fear the worst.'" And where is Sir Robert Peel's remedy for this state of things ? The Whigs have boldly and frankly proposed theirs ; but where is the great Tory leader's ? Day by day matters are getting worse—yet not one syllable about a remedy do we hear breathed bY the Tories —not a word even that can give the people encouragement While thousands are starving, the faction is wasting its time in selfish exultations at the thought of approaching place and pay ! So Nero fiddled while Rome was burning ! The Ballot, according to the Cheltenham Examiner has made prodigious progress lately. Men who have all their lives opposed secret voting—seeing at last the ne cessity of some measure of protection to the voter— have given in their adhesion to this un-English method of ensuring fair play. The undisguised manner in which Tory tyranny has been exercised throughout the king dom, and the extent to which that tyranny has produced the desired effect, have forced the conviction in number less instances, that the only method of preventing the constituencies being bound over hand and foot to the TO ries, is a vigorou application of this radical remedy. tl th . - The Cambridge Advertiser is of opinion that country will not put up with the government of so trick'', shifty, weak, and selfish a Minister as Sir Robert Peel, and that no plausibility, however cunning, no deception, however powerful, can cajole the people of Ireland. No Administration which numbers Stanley a nd Peel among its members will ever be toler;ted by Ireland. The Worcestershire Chronicle regards the projected establishment of corps of yeomanry as a demonstration in support of the tax upon bread, a scheme to bolster up at once the Corn-laws which force the working man upon the parish, and the Poor-laws, framed, as is well known, with a view to relieve the landed interest.
