The judgment of the Learned Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court in re CHARLES Tintosiar, to whom, in connexion with the credit system at Oxford, we directed the public attention yesterday, is worthy of serious consideration. Indeed, our observations on the subject would be incomplete without something more than a mere passing allusion thereto. It is im possible to overrate the vast importance of the topic, not only to the rising generation, to those who are about to be exposed to the temptations and allurements incidental to a sojourn in one of the ancient seats of learning, but also to parents who submit to many sacrifices and privations to afford their children the advantages supposed to arise from a university education. The prospects of the for mer may be for ever blighted, they may be exposed to the most serious difficulties during their subsepient career, in consequence of the liabilities incurred during the thoughtless indulgences of their earlier years. The reasonable expectations of the latter may be disappointed ; grief and anxiety may wring the father's or the widowed mother's heart, who, with crippled means and diminished resources, may be compelled to submit to further sacrifices, perhaps to act unjustly towards other children, rather than abandon an erring son to the melancholy fate he had earned for himself. It is then, we say, a matter of almost national import ance to check the system, and to restrain the undue facilities of credit afforded to students. We do not desire in the slightest degree to impeach the motives by which the Learned Chief Commissioner was influenced in forming his judgment on the case. We are convinced that he was actuated by a laudable anxiety to carry into execution the intentions of the father to free the son from his various liabilities, and at the same time to procu r e something for th e cred i tors on account of their demands. He manifest],atvhaouatiet, that the 3001. pre v iously offered was still available, and that a declaration that the insolvent should be discharged from cus t o dy con ditionally on 2501. bei ng immediate paid into co ur t, wou ld be followed by the paym en t of that sum , and the liberation of the unfortunate man. The judgment, however, is not thelesa youngr impolitic, or f ra ught with less dangerous consequences. " be celebratlt will, as Mr. CooKE justly remarked, tr i um ph at Oxford." It will afford the strongestd as encourage ment to the system, which it is SO desirable to abolish. It will induce those who, i n the words of the Learned Judge, 4 ‘ almost thrust to efuse any compromise that credit on young men," may be offered, and to force their debtors into the court for relief, when such a course is not followed by the total loss of their demands. It will prevent parents or relatives from coming forward to offer any partial payment, since they will be held thereto, a lthough the object for which the offer was madehad b e en defeated. It is clear that in the present instance the insolvent would have been unconditionally discharged if no proposition had been made to the creditors. The TILE SThN, Chief Commissioner, in delivering his judgment, de clared that "he was happy to exonerate the insolvent from any charge of contracting his debts by false representations, or by any means that trenched on morality and gentlemanly conduct, beyond his having involved himself in unnecessary expenses." Even that extravagance was confined to the very beginning of his career, while he was yet a minor, and when he could have availed himself of his nonage to defeat any claim that could be made if he had chosen to avail himself of such a plea. Mr. RANDALL himself stated, in his evidence, that " the supply of goods were such as an undergraduate in the insolvent's circumstances might fairly require, and that after the first year e. when the unfortunate young man was nineteen years of age), he became more sparing of his orders, and only had what was necessary." Neither could it be said that the debts had been contracted without reasonable expectations of being able to pay them. Mr. Tnnoswr, sen., was supposed to be a gentle man of considerable wealth, who could easily spare his son sufficient to pay these debts. He had in the first instance sent over 6001. out of the 7501. due by his son, and it was not until a recent decision, adverse to his interests, had considerably reduced his resources, that the claims of his remain • ing children, twelve in number, were taken into con sideration, and the offer was reduced to 3001, and that only on condition of a full release being granted by all the creditors. The insolvent bad, therefore, committed no offence against the insolvency code; he had not committed any act to subject him to a remand, in f ac t a m o r e me rit o rio us ca se sel dom came before the court, for we regret to say that the instances are rare indeed where the petitioning debtor's conduct is wholly free from blame. The law was made for foolish as well as for unfortunate men; and if none but the latter could avail themselves of its provisions, the business of the Court would become very scanty. Under such circumstances, then, a judgment is pronounced, the effect of which may be to doom the unfortunate young man to a protracted imprisonment) far more than would be inflicted if he had been guilty of reckless and unprincipled conduct. He can himself have no means of paying the required sum. Everything he bad in the world had already been surren dered to his creditors. If his father's solicitor should still consider himself not au thorised to pay over the 300/. that hal been entrusted to him, in the event of the creditors being willing to accept it in full satisfaction of their demands, he must still languish in a prison until his father can be com municated with in Australia—a period of ten or eleven months; and even then, if the father should refuse to pay the money, he may be detained in perpetual confinement. In fact, he may be imprisoned for a longer period than is authorised by the insolvent law for the most flagrant violation of its provisions. We know not on what clause or section of the Act the judgment has been founded. But we feel that it is one of the most dangerous tendency, and the more so as proceeding from a Judge so eminent and so experienced in the law of debtor and creditor as the Chief Commis sioner of the Insolvent Court. Matters of more startling and conspicuous import ance have latterly obscured in the public mind an instance of grievous injustice and of peculiar hard ship. The case is one to which we have already directed the attention of the community, and which we shall not cease to regard as a fitting theme for the disquisitions of the journalist until the affair has undergone a complete and definitive revision. That revision, according to a rumour prevalent for some time in military circles, is understood to be actually in • contemplation. It is presumed that a decision so fraught with impropriety as to be visible to the judgment of the population cannot pos sibly be held good by the honourable and dispassionate principles by which the authorities at the Horse Guards are believed to be ever actuated. Need we premise, before we go further, that the case to which we are now once again making especial reference is no other than the case of Capt. GEORGE DOUGLAS, late of the 16th Regiment ? That unfor tunate gentleman, whose name, though erased from the Army List, is still regarded as unsullied by every right-thinking man in her MAJESTY'S dominions, and whose character, though impugned by the monstrous sentence of the court-martial held - on him at Guern sey, is still viewed by those acquainted with the particulars of that deplorable trial as wholly unstained and irreproachable—has suf fered through the informalities of the examina tion a punishment such as under all circumstances is beyond the limits of anything at all like adequate reparation. He has been subjected to treatment, the effects of which can never be erased from his recol lection, can never cease to embitter his existence, no matter how emphatic may be the reversal of the sen - tence, no matter how earnest the compensative eulo giums. Although we have twice argued the point at issue, and have each time demonstrated the impossibility of any sane man coinciding in the view taken by the immense majority of ONE in the court-martial at Guernsey, the question is very far indeed from having been exhausted in reference to the injustice of the sentence passed on Captain DOUGLAS. In testimony of this, we shall here again briefly analyse the case throughout, doing so in a manner altogether dissimilar from that in which we erewhile commented upon the transaction. Such a course will be sufficient to prove beyond all objec tion that in its various phases the judgment is com pletely unjustifiable. Remember at the outset, therefore, that the charge on which the accused was tried is divided into four counts or instances. Those four counts we shall consider separately and consecutively. To substantiate the first of them, it was abso lutely essential that two facts should be clearly proven upon evidence. Now, neither of those were proven. It was not proven-Ist, that Constable RENIER did positively at the time, and in the place specified, ask Captain DOUGLAS the question embodied in the charge ; or, 2,11 y, that Captain DOUGLAS did really give the answer therein stated. As to the accuracy of our assertion upon this point, we simply refer to the details of the court-martial, those details affording an incontestable corroboration. Let us ask, whose evidence was taken up on this count ? Why, the sole witness upon this important instance was Constable RENIER ! And, in regard to this person, it was distinctly asserted by Judge GAU• DION, one eminently competent to form such an opi nion, that (p. 10) he doubted the man's capacity for comprehending expressions in the English language I Couple this assurance coming from the lips of Judge GAUDIOI with the circumstance that RENIER, a petty farmer of Alderney, whose vernacular is a corrupted patois of the French tongue, was delivering his tes timony in reference to expressions which passed between himself and Captain DOUGLAS in an inter view of between two and three minutes' duration, and one which had taken place no less than three months prior to his examination before the court-martial— couple these things together, we say, and tell us how much consideration this single witness is en titled to ! Again, as to the second count of the charge—a count divided into an offence before the civil, and another offence before the military court of inquiry. Now, as to the former, Captain DOUGLAS has been formally acquitted of having objected to acknowledge that he had been firing at the time indicated on Frying Pan Battery. Besides which, it has been stated by Judge Geu- DION (p. 7) that he did not explain to Capt. DOUGLAS when that officer was brought before him in the civil court, on the 9th of January, that one of the objects of the investigation was to ascertain the identity of those who had been practising with pistols at Longy. As to the offence before the military court of inquiry it may be seen, f rom one p ar t o f the evidence given on the court-martial (p. 24), that until the last day, namely, th e 17th of th e natureFebruary,ofthe instructions, and the prisoner was not apprised 28), that directly the ch from anothe r ( p . observed that when Judge GAUDIOaN ' rge, it why he had required Captain DouGLA for the newspaper found on th e b atter s acquainted w ith t h ese instruec was re at o nce an d quired. R e -, will be being as k ed to account with bullets, replied that he did so " r h fo Yl reas ons perforated of hi s t own" (p. 6) ; the Court never pressed at question ' a lthough upon it the proof of this, the third in s t ance,was entirely dependent. Lastly, as.to the fourth Count of LONDON, the charge. The culpability implied in that instance is altogether dependent on the construction which may be put upon the tone of the letter written by Captain DOUGLAS in allusion to a document penned by order of General BELL, bearing date the 6th of February, and addressed to the Town-Major of Alder ney. Now, considering that the letter of General BELL mentioned eight circumstances, from which eight circumstances that officer then deduced, what he pronounced to be an "unavoidable conclusion" that Mr. Bts• SET'S bullock was killed either by Captain DOUGLAS, or by Ensign PARKER, and subsequently hurled from the rampart into the sea—we cannot but conceive that Captain DOUGLAS was especially justi fied in abstaining from the voluntary verification of the accuracy of those eight circumstances ; and we cannot, moreover, but feel satisfied that the epistle penned by the accused in reference to those accusa tions (pp. 16 and 17) will be viewed by every unim passioned reader as singularly fair and judicious, as, in short, at once guarded and straightforward. Upon such flimsy and trumpery charges as the fore going has Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS been tried and cashiered—his sentence being pronounced by the most insignificant of all possible majorities. The egregious injustice of the whole transaction, the in formality of the proceedings, and the illegality of the sentence peremptorily demand a searching inquiry and an immediate revision. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. As we stated in the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening, the discussion on the Roman expedition was closed in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday ; after which the order of the day was adopted by 428 to 176, being a majority for the Ministers of 252. F i s commentedx. o ux, h iocnh inwas l thetl he p a pers, and is considered by all , parties rather as a piece speech the o f M. nE defence The of of clever 66 herring trailing' than as a defence Ministry,a the expedition to Rome. He seemed anxious to give the go bye to the expedition of General Ounisol. as soon as possible, and accordingly he made personal attacks upon M. JULES FAVRE (which brought on him a well-merited castigation from that gentleman) ; he eulogized the Popes of the middl e ages , h e a b use d the Roman Republic and the republican principle, generally; he lauded Legitimacy, he in fact talked of everything but the subject -matter in debate. As is justly observed by the National—f 6 M. DE FALLOUX made no reply, no reply w h a t ever, to M . JULES FAVRE. He did not for e v en a moment a l lude to the question which M. JULES FAVRE had so pro foundly discussed. This is an avowal of inability which France will know how to appreciate. The Minister of Public Instruction had but one object in view—to draw off attention from the real sub ject of debate. With the insidious tone which is so characteristic of him, half-sneer, half-rage, he, at the commencement of his speech, substituted for the real question a personal discussion by grossly calumniating M. JULES FAVRE; then he vilified the Roman revolution. We are not surprised at it. Calumny is a weapon the use of which is per fectly understood by a certain sect, which M. DE FALLOUX holds in high esteem, and from which he has apparently received instruction. Besides, why should not M. DE FALLOUX vilify that Republic, to the destruction of which he has so largely contri buted? After the steel the poison ; thus runs the logic of LOYOLA," Even the Journal des Debats admits that M. DE FaLLoux was best when speaking of the internal affairs of France, that is when giving the go-by to the question before the Assembly. The Assembly elected on Tuesday the following to be members of the Committee which is to sit during the prorogation, with power to convoke the As sembly_ Ai NI. MM.

Beals and They were all nominated by the reactionary club of the Rue de.Poietiers. The Constitutionnel has -the following in relation to the constitution of this Committee : " It is true, as stated by the Presse, that it was wished to place M. Thiers on the Committee, and ho was ur gently solicited to consent to it. It was, however, im possible for him to cousent, as he has been recommended to refrain from any exertion for some time. M. Thiers is compelled to absent, himself from Paris for some time, but he has no intention of going to England, as stated by the Presse, but to Dieppe, for the benefit of bathing. M. Thiers could not, therefore, consent to be nominated on the Committee, as when that gentleman undertakes a duty he wishes to fulfil it." In allusion to the above most carefully worded paragraph, in which M. TRIERS (for it is from his pen) swears by the card, we would remind those who may be inclined to reg a..-d his actions with suspicion that Dieppe is directly opposite St. Leonard's, where the Count DENEIJILLT resides with his family, and that a boat from Dieppe may meet another from St. Leonard's in the mid channel in the course of three hours. Troops are concentrating on the frontiers of Savoy. The Estafette publishes the following : " The Government received today news of the definitive conclusion of peace between Austria and Piedmont.

FRANKFORT. The Senate of Frankfort has determined on ad hering to the Prussian• German Constitution. RUSSIA. The war in the Caucasus has been renewed with great activity by the C ircassians since they became aware of the Russian invasion of Hungary. Sheik MAHOMET, the emissary of SCHAMTL, had assembled on the right wing of the Caucasian line a considerable army, with which he advanced towards the Laba, in order to incite the tribes at ,. peace with the Russians to join him. General KOWALESKI had only seven companies of infantry, 2,00.0 Cossacks, and ten cannon in readiness to oppose this force. On the left wing NAIB TALGIK was at the head of a strong band, and on the 17th of June repelled an incursion over the Argun by a detachment under Colonel SINSLOTT. Circassian pilgrims, who had arrived at Trebizond, on their way to Mecca, stated that several of the ex tensive works of fortifications constructed by the Russians in the Caucacus had fallen lately into the hands of the Circw;iians, and been destroyed. They instanced, particularly, the bastions lately erected between Chedshene and . Terbenjik, whi c h were com pletely razed by the Circassians of Chedshene in May. They also affirmed that the fortress of Acsti, whi c h the Russians had conquered in the past year, was now again in the hands of SCHAMTL. HUNGARY AND ROME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Whilst congratulating your readers on the very lengthy, and, on the whole, admirable report of the great Marylebone meeting, which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday evening, I shall be obliged if you will per mit me to correct one or two inaccuracies into which your reporter has fallen in the abridgment of my address on that occasion. In the said report I am made to say that I " most unequivocally and heartily adopted the principle so well laid down in Jelluchich's manifesto in behalf of Hun gary;" that " all nations were interested in, and respon sible for their mutual well-being." Your readers must have been surprised to hear tell of a manifesto in behalf of Hungary emanating from the brigand Ban of Croatia. Your reporter misunderstood me. I quoted not Jella chich, but Count Teleki, between whom there is as much distinction as there can be between treason and truth, tyranny and freedom, the tool of crafty tyrants and the representative of " Men who know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain." Your reporter makes ate also say that " our inter ference on behalf of Hungary must be without France, who would tolerate the whole oppressed nationalities of Europe." The words I have put in hales constitute a string of nonsense. I suppose the words are intended to represent that which I said respecting the Swedes, Poles, Circassians, and other nations long out raged by Russia, rising to avenge themselves in the event of England making a demonstration of force in behalf of Hungary. This matter, however, would not have induced me to trouble yuu had it not been for the mistake of substituting the name of "Jellachich" for that of Count Teleki. These errors, notwithstanding, I thank you and your reporter moat heartily for the very full and, all things considered, very excellent report of that most splendid meeting. Permit me to embrace this opportunity of adding my sincere thanks for your consistent, able, and eloquent defence of the Hungarian cause; and especially for your philanthropic and truly praiseworthy exertions in favour of the Hungarian refugees—exertions which, thus far, have been crowned with the most signal success. From an extensive intercourse with the working classes, and the Democratic party, I can state with certainty that I but feebly express that which the masses feel in consequence of your patriotic advocacy of the righteous claims of tho Hungarians. I am informed that, besides the Hussars new or re cently encamped at Folkstone, a considerable number of Hungarians are at present in this metropolis, anxious to return to their country, but wanting the means to do so. Supposing that the maintenance, ship ment, /vie, of the Hussars should leave a surplus of cash, might not a portion be applied to ship ping off such Hungarians as might be desirous of return ing to their country for the purpose of taking past in the present struggle? I submit this suggestion to your, and the committee's consideration. I observe that the 1 imes, failing to arrest the pro gress of British sympathy in behalf of Hungary, is la bouring to throw discredit on the movement by attempt ing to christen it "Chartist;" and by representing " Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Julian Harney, Mr. Monckton Milnes, and Mr. Hetherington " as associated to add another point to the Charter. Such tactics are most despicable, but quite in keeping with the general course of that shamelessly unprincipled paper. The Times well knot% s that Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Monckton Milnes are no more responsible for the Chartism of Mr. Julian Harney and Mr. Hetherington, than Mr. Julian Harney and Mr. Hetherington are re sponsible for the views on home politics entertained by Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Monckton Milnes. Pro bably on most political questions there would be found marked disagreement between the several advo cates of Hungarian independence, but, as the Member fir Pontefract happily observed at the Marylebone meeting, " the more the friends of Hungary differ on other subjects, the more valuable is their opinion in agreeing on this." Allow me to add, that neither myself nor any other speaker holding Char tist principles, has in ai y shape or form obtruded Char tism* upon the meetings called to sympathise with the Hungarians. The Times boasts itself the " friend of peace and tem perate freedom." Its own columns testify that it has done its utmost to provoke a war of extermination against all who cherish the principles of liberty. Its ideas of " temperate freedom" were foreshadowed by Byron, in his portrait of " the coxcomb Czar," who was described as possessing (like the Times)— " A generous spirit, when's is not frost-bit; Now half-dissolving to a liberal thaw, But harden'd back whene'er the morning's raw; With no objection to true liberty, Except that it would make the nations free." The Times talks of " noisy belligerents" who wish to set fire to their neighbour's house. That has been the work of the Times, and Hungary is in flames. The thousands who attended the Marylebone meeting desire British intervention to extinguish the fire, and restore the reign of peace, security, and freedom. The Times affects to be mightily pleased at having had the execra tions of the thousands assembled on Monday night last. I can promise it such a testimonial wherever the British people meet to sympathise with the cause of justice, and, as a necessary consequence, to give expression to their disgust at the conduct of the truculent tools of foreign trust, tynts. Sir, that not many d a y s w ill p ass b e f ore r l a another meeting will take place in support of Hungary, and to the confusion of the Times. Pray, use your powerful influence to induce the friends of freed om i n Westminster, Lambeth, Southwark, the Tower Hamlets, and Finsbury, to follow the noble example set by the men of Marylebone. A requisition to the High Bailiff of Westminster would doubtless induce that gentleman to call a meeting in Palace-yard, or Covent-garden. I can answer for a large ,attendance of the working classes, and also, that, at least so far as they and their speakers are concerned, " UNION" will be the watch-word, and " THE INDEPENDENCE OF 11UNGLItY" their unanimous cry. I am, Sir, yours, respectfully, G. JULIAN HARNEY. 9, Queen street, Brompton, Aug. 2, 1849. * [We can here cordially vouch for the accuracy of this statement, the truth of which is honourable to our corre spondent.j —ED. Sun.

The tyrant has sworn—he's a man of his word— To thunder destruction around; With cannon and bullet, with carnage and sword, Your cities he'll lay with the ground. The tyrant has sworn destruction to life And death, in insulting his slave— The young and the old, the maiden and wife, His victims shall be for the grave. The tyrant has sworn—but his devilish oath Has added more flame to the fire ; The spirit that's kindled the soul of Kossuth Will only with freedom expire. The patriot has sworn the tyrant shall die, For God has registered his vow; And the banner of Freedom triumphant shall fly Where despots have governments now. 'Tis not in the number of cannons and shell, Nor hoards of barbarian slaves, To crush the brave spirit, where Liberty dwells— For Liberty's free as the waves. The courage of Bem—Dembinski's renown - And Georgey's invincible might, Will drive the invaders from city and town, And conquer in every fight. I hear the glad tidings borne on in the breeze, The shout of a nation made free; It comes over mountains, and valleys, and seas— That nation is brave Hungary. Gallacia's sons have caught the glad sound, Old Dacia has broken her chain; Croatia's Ban—where now is he found, To prop the black tyrant again? Sarmatia's nobles are doffing the garb Which Scythia dooms them to wear— Remounting with courage the fiery-bred barb To drive to Tobliski the Bear. And the base, bloody house of Hapsburgh-Loraine Shall crumble in pieces to dust; For the heavens have declared that Tyranny's reign No more shall the freeman disgust. Oh, England! brave England! come forth with thy word— But speak, and the battle is won: Let not a great nation be put to the sword— The bold, the undaunted, brave Hun. A. B. M. WnanuAii.

THE NEW SAVINGS' BANK consequence of the late period of the session, and the press of other business the Chancellor of the Exchequer recently an nounced that this important Bill would not be brought forward till early next session. Government, we hear, will become responsible for sums only actually received by the treasurer of each savings' bank, and certified by him in the depositor's pass books, and that no other person will be authorised to give a receipt on the part of Government. For his trouble the treasurer will receive a fixed salary (say 501, for a bank with 100,0004 capital), and not a quarter per cent. as previously announced. A manager is to be in attendance as usual to make out a list of the deposits or payments, as the case may be, from the depositors' pass books, to be handed to him by the treasurer for that purpose; each book being then banded to the actuary, who will make the entry in the ledger account in the presence of the depositor. The treasurer and manager are both to certify to Govern ment the total amount deposited or paid out. As no re payment will be made but by previous notice, the trea surer is to retain a sufficient sum only to provide against the next repayment day; all above that amount will have to be forwarded immediately to the Bank of Eng land to be placed to the account of the National Debt Commissioners. It is not clear at present that auditors will be appointed; but it will be proposed to reduce the Government rate of interest to 31. 2s. 6d. per cent. and to allow a uniform rate of 2i per cent. to the depositors; also to reduce the maximum of balances to 1001.—Reporter and Savings' Bank Advocate.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very animated, and prices of all kinds were 10. per lb. higher. The sales amounted to 16,000 bales, 5,000 of which were taken for export and on speculation. The Share Market was steady, but without animation. The sales of Wheat in the markets which regulate the averages were last week 76,357 qrs. The six weeks' average price is 475. 9d. per quarter, and the last week's 48s. Accounts received this morning from Amsterdam under date of the 7th instant, state that continued pur chases were made in the home securities, and that they had occasioned an advance of 4cl. per cent. in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., the latest price being 53 1-16. At Frankfurt, on the 6th instant, Austrian Stocks were rather declining, being 7611. Bank Shares were higher. Belgian, Dutch, and Baden Five per Cents. were in request. At Vienna, on the 4th instant, funds and shares were heavy, in expectation of a new loan. Foreign Securities were rather higher. The Berlin Exchange on the 6th inst. was improving, and the transactions in certain shares were very animated. It is stated in accounts from Alexandria that a great conflagration there had occasiuned a ion of 40,000,000 piastres to the state. An American captain writing to his owners from Montreal states:—" We found the canals, as stated, to be the finest works of the kind in North America. The Miranda came through the Welland Canal, and through the Cornwall Canal, with 10,000 bushels corn, drawing 8 feet 8 inches. The least water I found in the channels, on the lakes or rivers, is from 12 to 15 feet, and this is on Lake St. Francis and Lake St. Louis. The shoal water is but a few miles. We came down under canvass till within 40 miles of Mon treal. I came-too, off Coteau du Lac. When I landed, I saw Mr. Davidson, the insurance agent;and Mr. Roebuck, one of the oldest pilots on the river, and consulted with them about lightning. They ad v i se d me to light a few inches. They were not aware at the canals, such a craft, drawing the water we did, was going to pay them a visit. I lightened and came through in fine style. I am fully convinced we can go through the St. Lawrence river, and canals connected with it, drawing nine feet. I do not see any obstructions, except at the entrance of the canals, and that will be soon remedied, as there are dredges and stone boats deepening the channels. Every person connected with the canals appeared anxious to aid and assist us. We had more accommodation than I ever experienced on canals before." In noticing this subject, we feel it necessary to re merk that few persons in this country are aware of its importance to the colonies as well as to England. A continuous line of navigation is obtained by means of the wonderful canals, and supplies of European mer chandize are introduced into the very heart of North America without trans-shipment, or in all cases the voyage from Montreal to the interior may be accom plished by suitable craft with great facility. The Money market continues very easy, and bankers are glad to force out their assets a little. Still, the more general rate of discount is 3 to 4 per cent., very first-rate acceptances only being done at 2to 2 per cent. The state of the Money market in France is still comparatively undecided. The Minister, M. Passy, has cere tainly devised, in conjunction with the leading capitalists an ingenious plan for raising temporary *supplies, bat whether it is one which English annuitants or parties blessed with some spare means should participate in, is extremely doubtful. The idea of issuing stock or secu rities equivalent thereto, upon the faith of a railway company is not so objectionable in itself, and the thing is serious merely as illustrating the embarrassed con dition of the National Treasury, an entire eman cipation from which can only be ultimately effected by a gigantic loan operation. So far the French people are having a good taste of the cost of their ruler's unjust interference in the affairs of a free people. The English Funds are a little better this morning, but until the Chancery-broker is known to have con cluded his purchases, that is, when the office of the Ac countant-General is known to be closed for the long vacation, the market will probably not resume decided elasticity. Consols have been 92a to 92-7,- for transfer, and 92.1 for time. Exchequer-bills having been disposed of more freely, do not command above 475. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 1991.

The states of each province are composed of as many members as there are 5,000 souls in each electoral district. Nether landers having resided one year in the province are eligible at the age of 25 ; but the law provides fiir some cases to which this rule cannot be applied. The members are elected for six years, the half are to go out every three years. The ordinary session cannot last more than a fortnight. The members re ceive a remuneration of 25 florins per session. The State deputies are to consist of four or five members elected for six years. They receive a stipend of I,GOO or 2,000 florins per annum, one-third of which is paid in advance. The Proiisional Governor is to be Pre sident, with the right of giving the casting vote. THE CHOLERA."—AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 4.—Fresh cases, 3; deaths, 4; recovered, 3; under treatment, 43.

COPENHAGEN, AUG. I.—A Cabinet Council was held yesterday for the purpose of choosing a Danish commissioner for Schleswig. The result is not known, but it is generally believed that the choice has fallen upon Count SPONNECK. The commissioner for England will probably be Mr. Howard, the Secretary of Legation at Berlin. It does not yet appear who will be appointed by Prussia in the character of joint commissioner of Schleswig. ITALY. The Giornale di llama of the 28th ult. states that the municipal commission of Rome under the Presi dency of ODESCALCHI, has ordered the sum of 300 doubloons, sent by the POPE to give work to the poor of Rome, to be specially consecrated to poor mothers of families, who are to receive needlework. On the 22d the Spanish troops restored the papal insignia at Rieti. General ROSTOLAN has revoked the order for the banishment of M. PANTALEONI owing to the intercession of numerous well-affected persons PANTALEONI is the intimate friend of MAMMIANI, and is one of the most eminent physicians of Rome. A lady of rank, residing in Rome, speaks thus of GARIBALDI in one of her letters :—" I am glad that the heroic and excellent Geninm.nr, who is as good as he is brave, and who is more a true French knight than all the French army put together, has still pre served his life." Letters from Italy speak in strong terms of indig nation of the inhuman, and we may add illegal, conduct of Mr. MORE OTARRALL, in refusing to permit the unfortunate Italian refugees to land at Malta. They were unarmed, therefore his pretext of a care for the peace of the island was without foundation. They had all passports from the British Consul, and therefore his conduct was illegal. The true cause of his refusal was that he, being a bigotted Catholic, was ordered by the priests, by whom he is surrounded, not to permit them to land, and that he preferred obeying the Ministers of Pope Pius to obeying the Ministers, of Queen VICTORIA. It is for the latter to consider whether it is altogether safe to continue in the command of an important island a gentleman 'who thus holds a divided alle giance FOREIGN FUNDS.

A STURGEON CAUGHT IN THE TAL—Early on Monday morning, a sturgeon, measuring in length about six feet six inches, was taken in a salmon net upon the fishing at the confluence of the Almond and the Tay, of which Mr. Speedie is the tackman. 'We believe it is very rarely that sturgeons are met with at such a dis tance from the sea, at le - ,Ist the circumstance of their being found so far up in the Tay is unprecedented.-- Perth Advertiser.
