These formerl the really dangerous features of the opera tions, for where vast bodies of spectators are assembled together it is difßenit to keep them in order, or to set bounds to their curiosity. One of the mines exploded con taining about 600 lb. of powder,and so great was the desire to be near when this Yost mass was ignited, that there was the greatest difficulty in keeping the crowd within the proper limits. The only accident of a serious kind which occurred throughout the day arose from a body of ma rines having in the hurry of the attack placed themselves within a few feet} of a mine just as it was about to be sprung. They were covered with the mud and clods thrown up, and one poor fellow had his leg broken in the confusion which followed. The Marquis of Anglesea and several officers of the staff were also very close to the mine at the moment, but experienced no personal At the close of the operations the troops returned to their barracks, their bands playing " God save the Queen." The spectators returned to their homes, profoundly impressed with the idea that they now knew what siege operations really are, and that no pyrotechnic exaggeration can represent them half so formidable as they really are.

Our expressions of confidence in the statesmanship of her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary were nobly justified on Saturday. At the very time our eulo giums on the policy of Lord PALMERSTON were pre paring for publication, that distinguished Minister was pronuncing his opinion as to the injustice of the Russo-Austria n war against the Hungarians, and he did so in a manner such as must effect in an extra ordinary degree the conduct of that most atrocious eiventurer of Despotism. His language was wor thy at once of himself and of the occasion. As the N o ble -Lord the representative of Marylebone well observ ed , the speech of the Foreign Secretary did him g re a t honour, and would only increase that popularity which he at present enjoyed in this country and throu4hout Europe. It was the manifesto of a wise and sagacious, and yet at the same time of a b ra ve and chivalrous Adminis tration. While disclaiming altogether any senti ment approaching to that of hostility, in refer ence to the Austrian Government—while insisting, indeed, that the preservation of the empire founded by Runoun in its original integrity and pristine vigour was to the interest of all the nations of Chris tendom—Lord PALMERSTON, nevertheless, boldly and _ indignantly repudiated, on the part of the English . Cabinet, any sympathy with the repressive and retro grade principles which during the last half century had been the inspiration of the Vienna Administration. It was with a superb scorn that he stigmatised the proceedings of METTERNICH and his myrmidons as conduct which formed an example of "antiquated imbecility." With an equally emphatic distinctness, he asserted that in the opinion of a considerable portion of the continent, the policy of Austria has been inimical to the progress of European liberty. Earnestly and cordially, however, as he might coincide in these views, it devolved upon him, as one entrusted with the stupendous responsibility of presiding over the foreign relaticns of this vast em pire, so to conduct the diplomatic intercourse between England and her contemporary Governments, as to conserve the blessings of peace, not merely for her own advantage, but to exercise also a beneficial in fluence over remote Cabinets by securing, as much as possible, the glory and the happiness of international tranquillity. Such, according to his acknowledg ment, are the objects towards the attainment of which the whole energies of the Foreign-office, under his conduct, are directed. On Saturday we demonstrated, by a reference to the events which have transpired during the last eighteen months, and by an allusion to the position occupied by Great Britain at the present moment, how fully and successfully Lord PALMERSTON had accomplished the first grand de sideratum of a Foreign Administration—the preserva tion of peace between England and the other nations of Europe—and the preservation of peace, too, at a period when almost all the powers of the con tinent were embroiled in warfare of one de scription or another warfare beyond their re spective frontiers, internecine strife, conflicts arising from religious animosity (as in the case of the Swiss Sonderbund), from the contention of classes (as in the case of the Communistic Anarchists of June, 1848), from the enmity of races (as between the different principalities of Germany), and from the lust of territorial spoliation (as in the instance of the lawless invasion of the duchy of Schleswig). It has been seen that while France, and Italy, and Switzer land, and Spain, and Portugal, and Denmark, and Prussia, and Saxony, and Bavaria, and Austria, given Sicily, and the Danubian Pr o v i n c es up to the horrors of on e or other o f h avees e descri pti ons been of warfare, England, under the conduct of Lord PAL MERSTON, bas preserved a friendly understanding with all, and has employed the high and glorious preroga tive of her influence in endeavouring to effect a re conciliation between the various contending Govern ments. It has been seen that while nearly the whole of the rest of Europe has been ravaged by revolutionary outbreaks, by moral and physical struggles for the mastery on the part of Democracy and of Absolutism—while elsewhere cities have been bombarded, pillaged, committed to the flames, and declared in a state of siege—England has kept up the most cordial communication, through the medium of Lord PALMERSTON and his diplomatic agents, with the numerous and infuriated cabinets of the eastern hemisphere. Presburg has witnessed the revival of terrorism under the shadow of an imperial gibbet ; Paris has been the arena of the bloodiest fight that ever occurred in the capital of any empire ; Messina has been levelled to a heap of ashes, her fires extinguished by the blood of her citizens ; Berlin has been distracted by fears and kept in perpetual surveillance ; Vienna has been thundered down into obedience by the roar of artillery ; and Bucharest has been awed into an unnatural quietude by the lances of the Cossacks and the swords of the Russian Dragoons—while from the tranquillity of London Lord PALMERSTON has striven with unceas ing assiduity to render England the arbiter of na tions and the general Peace-Maker of Christendom. To this end his good offices have been directed—now towards the negotiation of a pacific treaty between Prussia and Denmark ; now between Austria and Piedmont ; now again between the Neapolitan despot and the Sicilians. And yet, in despite of all this, he has been traduced as an interloper and intermeddler ; much has been said about mock mediations; and it has even been flagitiously and insolently declared that England has, under his misdi rection, so grossly and repeatedly committed herself that she has acquired the scorn and con tumely of surrounding nations. " Certainly," said the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary, on Saturday, when condescending to refer to these imputations, "certainly, I know of no case in which that want of respect has been shown, when we find that from north to south in cases of difficulty, not only in the affairs of nations, but internally between Governments and their subjects, we have been asked and invited to interfere in friendly mediation." Again alluding to these perverse insinuations as to Lord Ilisro's diplomatic mission in the Italian Peninsula, and thereby in a more particular degree to the whole of his (Lord PALMERSTON'S) policy as at the head of the Foreign Department, the noble statesman at once and for ever crushed these calum nious statements with the following dignified and in dignant exclamation :--" Sir, to suppose that any Government of England would wish to excite revo lutionary movements in any part of Europe —to sup pose that any GovErn-nent of England had any wish or desire but to c(nfirm and maintain peace be tween nations, and tranquillity and harmony be tween Governments and their subjects, is really a degree of ignorance and folly of which I never could have supposed a public man to be guilty." Having rebutted these charges thus dis tinctly, and having thereby indicated the integrity and patriotism of his statesmanship, Lord PALMERSTON might have been contented with an evasion of the question embodied in the motion of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE—the question as to the conduct in t-nded to be pursued by the English Government in rez,ard to the brave and abused Hungarians. The temperament of Lord PALMERSTON, however, is alto gether too chivalrous to resort, at such moments, to the covert of an evasion. Besides which, as he bin:- self avowed, "he believed the hearts of the whole English people had become enlisted in favour of the Magyars." The questiou was altogether too " plump" to be evaded. Nor did the Noble Viscount yearn for such an evasion. He spoke out and to the point. He protested that he and his colleagues viewed with pain the invasion of the Hungarian territory by the combined armies of Austria and Russia; and that immediately an opportunity presented itself they were resolved to let their opinions come forcibly before the Government both of the Austrian and Russian Emperors. " Sir," said he, in the elevated tone befitting a statesman of the British empire, " Sir, it is most desirable that foreign nations should know, on the one hand, that the people of England are sincerely desirous of preserving and maintaining peace—that they entertain no feelings hostile towards any nation in the world—that their wish is to be on the most friendly footing with all. They have a deep interest in the preservation of peace, because they are desirous of carrying on the advantages of the innocent and peaceful relations of commerce, and because they know that these must be interrupted by any interruption of these friendly relati ons . B u t it is also essential for the attainment of that object—it is essential, even for the protection of that commerce to which we attach so much importance, that it should be well known and understood by every nation on the face of the earth, that we are not disposed to submit to wrong, and that the maintenance of peace on our parts is subject to the indispensable condition that other countries respect our honour and dignity, and do not inflict any injury upon our interests." 1 1 Those noble declarations will not pass without their effect : they will go forth to the world as the protest of England against the invasion of Hungary; they will exercise a profound influence over the combina tions of despotism, and will carry dismay to the councils of the KAISER and the AUTOCRAT. We thank Lord PALMERfiTON for his bold and statesmanlike oration—an oration which affords the most signa corroboration of our remark on Saturday, that he has earned for himself the gratitude, the confidence, and the admiration of his countrymen. After the admirable speech of Lord PALMERSTON in the House of Commons, the meeting to be held this day at the London Tavern, as expressive of English sympathy for the Hungarians, cannot but pass off with increased enthusiasm. The Central Relief Committee in Dublin, a body of benevolent gentlemen, associated for the purpose of soliciting and dispensing relief to our suffering fellow-subject* ikkeland, have issued the following earnest and touching appeal on the present exhausted state of their funds : "Central Relief Committee, 3 College-green, Dublin, July 16. "Sir,—We have been directed by our committee to request you will, with your usual kindness, bring before the public, through your widely-disseminated journal, the following awful state of the country, in order that the question may be fully considered by those who have means —` Am I justified in allowing my fellow-Chris tian to die while I have the power of saving his life.' "This committee have now completely exhausted their funds, having distributed 4,7641., principally in small sums, of 101., to the care of the Protestant and Roman Catholic clergymen, and at this moment there are lying on their table 200 applications for relief from various parts of the .south and west, all representing that the harvest prospects are most promising —that hundreds of persons in each locality have made the most strenuous efforts to labour and till and sow their ground—that their crops are growing luxuriantly, but that the industrious, hard-working, and independent men, who have struggled, at the sacrifice of present food and every neces s ary for decent life, to sow their crops, can never live to see them reaped, unless their fellow-Christians now help them through the next month or six weeks. A clergyman stated this day to the committee that 2s. 6d. would keep alive a family of five ) by enabling them to mix a little meal with the cabbage or other vegetables that they gather and feed on. Imagine what a state of misery ! And can those who are indulge ing themselves in every comfort—nay, luxury—answer to their God and Father, that they would not spare this trifling sum from their superfluities to save the lives of five fellow-Christians? " Should any desire to inform themselves of the accul. racy of these statements, the office at No. 3, College green, is open daily, and free access will be afforded to those who may desire to search the sad histories con tained in the application papers. " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " D. C. LATOUCHE, " T. HUTTON, Honorary Secretaries. " E. MDONNELL The large amount of good effected by this plailan thropic body—the awful state of misery in which 4 great portion of the sister kingdom is involved—the certainty that all subscriptions , will be judiciously applied, induce us to call upon our countrymen tti) lend a helping hand to their charitable labours. The heart of generous England has never been appealed to in vain in the cause of suffering humanity. The dethroned monarch, the patriot, the unfortunate of every clime, find a home and a welcome in our happy land; we feel, then, that in calling England's atten tion to the pressing calamities of Ireland we shall meet with a prompt, a noble, and a generous re sponse. (Ireland has many claims, independent of her suffers ings and her wrongs, upon the affection and sympathy of England. She gives us sound heads, stout hearts, and manly arms. In the senate, on the battle-field, in literature and in the arts, she sheds the light of hei genius upon the fame and glory of England. We encounter no danger which she does not share, we win no honour to which she does not contribute. Under our time-honoured flag her hardy sons have; with us, braved " the battle and the breeze." Upon every sea, in every clime, throughout the wide empire of our gracious QUEEN, upon whose dominions the sun never sets, there is no battle-field where British valour was to be sustained or British honour vindi cated, that the brave sons of suffering Ireland hare not fought and bled. We will not enter into a calculation of the share which misgovernment has had in reducing Ireland to her present abject state—we will not canvass the amount of responsibility of our rulers—we will not stir up the vexed question of Irish landlordism, nor any of the numerous causes to which Irish misery is usually attributed ; but we will at once say to rich and happy England for rich and happy; thank GOD, she still is, notwithstanding the fanciful imaginings of political partizans, or the garrulous repinings of aspiring statesmen " Your sister is stricken down to the lowest depth of human suffering by the dispensations of PROVIDENCE. Famine and pestilence decimate her people, and deso.' late her fertile plains; your fellow-subjects arci perishing, will you not stretch forth a hand to save the hardy and the strong ?" Imbecile age and help: less infancy fall alike before the destroying angel, and in a Christian land are frequently hurried, uncoffined, into an unseemly and unhallowed grave. The ravages of hunger have brought a people, remarkable for their moral propriety and frugality, to the very verge of cannabalism. The horrors of a fearful plague have loosened the ties of kindred among a people ever devoted to the practice of the domestic and soeial virtues. The history of human suffering can furnish no parallel to the misery endured by our Irish brethren. The intensity of their wretch edness has only been equalled by the exemplary pa tient() and pious resignation with which it has been endured. We fear that many benevolent persons have hi therto been prevented from contributing to this work of charity and of mercy in consequence ofsome of our Contemporaries having thrown out doubts as to the au thenticity of the reports of Irish distress. %Ve envy not the feelings of those who would restrain the hand of charity, of those who would withhold relief from their fellow men, because some rash, though benevo lent, enthusiast may have given way to his feelings in over-colouring a picture of human misery. We can easily conceive how difficult it is for a warm hearted Irishman, surrounded by disease and death in their most appalling forms, to write in calm and cautious phraseology. But in the present case the most heartrending tales of misery have been fully burne out and authenticated by benevolent and disin terested Englishmen, whose credibility and authority is beyond doubt or suspicion—gentlemen who have taken the trouble to see with their own eyes, to hear with their own ears, and whose unimpeachable testi mony leaves no doubt as to the frightful extent and intensity of Irish misery. For ourselves, we never entertained a doubt on the subject; we believed that there was no exaggera- tion in the melancholy details received through our contemporaries of the Irish press. We have urged the imperative necessity of such measures as we be lieved to be best calculated to stem the tide of misery which threatened to overwhelm that devoted land. But, alas ! the evil is of a magnitude too great to be cured by ordinary means; her necessities are too pressing to await the tedious and, in her case, too frequently, the uncertain process of legislation. The hand of charity must be extended, in order to save human life and to alleviate human sufferings. Go vernment advances, the prison, and the poor-house, are insufficient to arrest the horrible ravages of pesti lence and of famine. We do then, with the most lively and confident hope, lay the case of Ireland before a humane and a generous British public. We appeal to our benevolent fellow-countrymen on behalf of the destitute people of Ireland. We feel assured that proud and happy England—the home of the exile— the asylum of the distressed from every quarter of the globe—will not refuse to her suffering sister a prompt, a willing, and a generous support. England's sympathies are not of that affected and spurious cha racter that can only be excited to activity by some romantic tale. We know that, while with a laudable alacrity her children bestow their kindness and their charity upon the suffering poor of other lands, they will not, they cannot forget their brethren perishing at their very thresholds. Can we conclude more appropriately than in the earnest in terrogatory of the appellants to British benevolence— "Am I justified in allowing my fellow-Christian to die while I have the power of saving his life ?" HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE IN TEE WATERLOO-ROAD. This morning, between two and three o'clock, the inhabitants of Barron's place, Waterloo-road, were aroused from their slumbers by loud cries of murder proceeding from a house situate at No. 13, in that thoroughfare. Police-constable, N 0.40 L, immediately entered the house, when a horrible scene presented itself, for in one of the rooms was found a female named Amelia Hough, covered with blood, which was flowing from a number of wounds inflicted over the chest, shoul der, and abdomen. It seems that the unfortunate fe male,oth er w y lodged o h n o ng w o i a n n h n e a o e u d s e m , h a r a g d a r b e e t e o Hu g u g t w r t i y t aannd on their return they quarrelled, when the landlady in terfered, and turned Huggerty into her own room; but as the landlady was closing the dour of Hough's apart ment, Huggerty rushed forth with a large table knife in her hand, pulled the landlady from the door, and having entered the room, she laid hold of Hough by the neck with the left hand, and with the right hand ran the knife into various parts off the other's body. Huggerty then rushed out of the house. Mr. Bateman and Mr. Sewell, the surgeons, were promptly in attendance, and did all that was possible for the unfortunate woman, but the injuries are of glitch a frightful character that her death is momentarily expected. Huggerty has been ap prehended by the police, and will be taken before the magistrate this afternoon. INTRAMURAL, INTERMENTS. — The vicar and church wardens of St. Bride's parish have decided upon closing the burial grou nd in Farringdon-street, and not to per mit any future, in torments to take place there. It is likewise in co nten plation to close the St. Bride's burial ground in Fl(;et-str eet,—S i unday paper. - THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Ilioniteur publishes various decrees of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, conferring higher ranks in the Legion of Honour on Admiral TREHOUART and Generals OUDINOT and VAILLANT, and decorations on a great number of the officers and men concerned in the recent military operations under the walls of Rome. The .National has the following on the restoration of the POPE : " We publish the telegraphic dispatch announcing the 'restoration of the Pope. We were quite prepared for the intelligence. No detail is given as to the manner in which the event has passed, but letters received for some days past showed that a manifestation was in prepara tion, and that persons were hired to give the si4mil of enthusiasm for the restoration of the Lope. We were accused of ca lumniating the intention s o f th e Govern ment when we declared that the secret object of our expedition was to impose on the Roman people a theocracy which had become odious to it. The mask has been soon taken off. Here is the restoration ac complished; the Pope resumes his crown, and the Car dinals their power; the monks of all colours are return ing to Rome as masters; and it is the soldiers of the French Republic who have re-established these odious clerical institutions, the shame of the 19th century! We shall soon have to relate as formerly the ignominious acts of the Papal Government, the vengeance of the priezts over this population, which has just given to the world the spectacle of an heroic resistance; and we shall have to say that all this hatred and all this fury fall on the French name. But perhaps the accomplices of M. de Falloux will spare us this afflicting task; perhaps their code on the press will cover with its m;is the Pope and the Cardinals. The honest and moderate journals can then celebrate without contradiction the apostolic virtues of this Holy Pontiff, who, following the expression of an illustrious Roman, returns sword in hand, as if Rome was Mecca, and the Gospel the Koran." The d project of law on the press was is even more s t r i ng ent than were the laws of September, and in the course of the discussion M. DE MONTALEMBERT, the commencedebate on on Saturday.the proj This law leader of the Jesuit party, declared that this was but the first of a series of measures of repression against the Republican spirit. The speech of M. DE MON TALEMBERT brought up ILI. JULES I?AVRE, whose eloquent and indignant attack upon the Ministry was but feebly met by the inflated reply of M. n —DILLON BAREOT. The debate was adjourned until to-day. No decision has as yet been come to on the ques tion of the adjournment of the Assembly. Several of the members of the Committee, to which the consi deration of the question has been referred, have ex pressed an opinion that the period of adjournment should not exceed a fortnight. The rumour of an intended coup d'etat contemplated during the adjournment continues to gain ground. Le Temps of Saturday says : " We are enabled to assure our readers that MM. Thiers and Mole, whose sympathies for the Republic are a secret to no one, have resolved to use all their efforts to bring us back to the eve of the revolution of February, 1848. People speak very seriously of a little coup d'etat, the consequences of which would be the annihilation of universal suffrage and the prolongation of the actual Ex ecutive Power, for which an Imperial Monarchy would be substituted. It is added that it is in order to facili tate the execution of such a plan that the demand has been made, and which the majority will support, for the prorogation during some months of the Legislative As. sembly." We can hardly imagine that MM. TRIERS and MoLE can be so ill-advised as to contemplate a coup d'etat, which, although it may be perhaps successful for the moment (which is very doubtful), cannot but end in the destruction, and that at no very distant period, of all those who may take part in it. It is seldom that we find any proposition in the Legitimatist journals to which we can give our cordial assent; nevertheless, we cannot but admit that the Opinion Publique has in the following article, which we commend to the attentive consideration of the PRESIDENT of the Re• public and of his true friends, given an accurate sketch of the " situation " : " It is necessary to establish clearly the character of the present situation—it is one of trial, experiment, and transition. In February, 1848, a tempest swept away a tent which was mistaken for a monument. Society was taken unawares, and the question was who was to govern. If any one had attempted to impose any particular go vernment, a civil war would have been the result Then the government of every one was thought of—it was said, " Let us have the government of universal suffrage.' No one could object to that, for there was neither preference nor exclusion in it. The nation exer cised the power in this sort of govermental vacation, and changed its instruments as one changes the horses of one's travelling carriage. M. Ledru Rollin , M. de La martine, and M. Cavaignac succeeded each other; up one day and down the next. This mobility was necessary, as what could have happened if M. Ledra Rollin bad an official power which survived his real utility; if M. de Lamartine and M. Cavaignao had continued to be powers de jure, after having ceosed to be powers de facto. They would then having become worn out, be mere obstacles. The Constituent Assembly, therefore, acted boldly in de ciding that there should be a President for four years. In the present instability of ideas and of opinions that decision might be even called a daring one. flow much, therefore, ought we to guard against encroaching on a luture, which belongs only to God. At a time when there is nothing decided,• the force of the govermental powers consists precisely in their provisional character. No ore thinks of overturning them, because their time of ceasing. is close at hand. On the other hand, should an attempt be made to build up something durable, a catastrophe is proceeded to. There are persons who imagine that it is sufficient to decree the definitive in order to make it. They are greatly mistaken. The defi nitive only sacceeds when it comes at its hour; that is, when there is something decided in ideas and fixed in interest; to attempt it sooner, is to attempt it too soon. These reflections apply naturally to those who do not see that the present position of M. Louis Bonaparte is far stronger with his three years and a halt Presidentship before him, than if an attempt was made to attribute to him, by some turn or other, a longer power. That would give him stability,' is what is said. Was the power or Louis Pnillippe made to last a day the longer by his being declared an hereditary king? Stability is not given by laws or decrees ; and the political life of power, in times of crisis, hke the physical life of the human body; when it is exhausted, death arrive s without any human will being able to pre vent it. Let us remain therefore as we are ; let us not aggravate a situation already exceedingly grave; let us not change means into obstacles, and let us not endeavour to p p i l r a e ce is th a e g e lo nd rio i u n s r t e h m e me eu l ee of the distance. forall,a regret TfohresoEmme but it cannot be a hope for any one. It is already a great honour and a great happiness for the nephew of the Emperor to have seen his name made the rallying point of six millions of votes from the most opposite parties, and to have been invited to sit for four years in the presidential chair. If an attempt was made to go further, after having been useful, he would become hurtful, he would do injury to France after baying served her ; and, supposing that he succeeded, which is doubtful, he would soon be put out of power by the door of revolution, after having entered it by the door of universal suffrage. Louis Philippe, King of the French, brought France to a political republic ; Louis Bonaparte, Emperor, would within a given time, lead to a social republic." The Prince DE CANINO (LUCIEN BONAPARTE) has addressed a letter to M. DUPIN, the President of the Legislative Assembly, complaining of the treatment which he has received since he has been in France, and declaring that he left Rome with a regular pass port on a mission entrusted to him by the Roman Republic to France, England, and the United States. The Journal du Loiret of Orleans gives the following additional particulars of the arrest of the Prince : " The Prince de Canino (Bonaparte) arrived in our city at midnight on Tuesday, by railway, from Bourges. Two gendarmes were with him in the carriage. At Marseilles, the Prefect, M. Peauger, apprised of the dis• embarkation of the Prince de Canino, informed him that the instructions of the Government interdicted him from going to Paris. At the same time he sent to the Ministry by telegraph the news of the disembarkation. Arrived at Bourgea the Prince found the same in structions. Questioned by the authorities as to the di rection of his journey, be declitred that he wished to go to Paris. Two gendarmes' then received the order to accompany him to Orleans. The police waited for him at the station of our town. There he publicly declared that he wished to go to Paris, adding that he had a diplomatic mission for Paris and London, and besides, he possessed property in France, and had interests in Paris to attend to. The instructions sent to Orleans were, that if the Prince de Canino should wish to proceed to England, he was to be eon ducted by Chartres and Evreux to Havre, but that he was not to take the railway for Paris. The Prince preferred to remain at Orleans. Ile wrote with a pencil in the station several letters for Paris, and afterwards caused himself to be conducted to the Hotel de la Boule d'Or. He was placed in a bedroom on the groundfloor, and police agents were placed on the watch in case he ,hould be disposed to leave Orleans for Paris. At Or leans his liberty is left to him. On Wednesday, after his breakfast, he went out to make some purchases and to visit the city. Seeing that a police agent, in plain clothes, followed him at a distance, the Prince called him, and said, 'Come,' we will walk together; that will be better, and you will do me the favour to show me the town.' The agent complied, and M. & Canino, thus acc,mpanied, visited the Rue Jeanne d'Arc, the Museum, the Cathedral, and the Pal iis de Justice. He afterwards returned to the hotel, and dined at the tab - le d' hot; One of the guPats asked him to take coffee, and he consvnted. The pfrson took him to the Café Choinet, and a curious crowd soon assembled, but there were neither criesno7dt7monstrations. After a short pro menade he returned to his hotel. The Prince de Canino has, it is said, written to several personages at Paris, among others to M. Dufaure, Minister of the Interior, M. CIT 7,. representative of the Loir- et-Cher, his relative and iiiena. , lie requests that if he be not allowed to stay at Orleans, he may be permitted to go to Melun, to an estate belonging to M. Miry. He conversed with several persons on the affairs of Rome. We have no need to say what are his sentiments on the French expedi tion. The Prince de Canino is of an en-bon-point, ap proaching obesity. " P.S. In consequence of instructions which arrived at m'd-day, the Prince de Canino has left by post for klav;o by Chartres and Evreuxt ttnd he will there eni- bark for England. M. Lake, central commissary, will accompany him to Havre. " The Journal du Hoare of Thursday says that, from the extraordinary precautions taken by the police of Havre, it appeared that M. de Cat:ino was expected that evening, under escort, by the train which leaven Paris at seven o'clock. It was supposed that he would take his departure the same evening for Southampton by the Express, on board which M. Guizot had just arrived in Frauce." The Journal du Havre of Friday gives the follow ing account of the. reception of M. GUIZOT on his landing in France : " M. Guizot embarked this morning on board the Hon fleur packet. After the improp-r demonstration which greeted his arrival at Havre, M. Guizot went to the Hotel de l'Amiraute, round which no extraordinary as semblage took place during the day. During a ride, however, which he took in a carriage with his children, he was followed by a crowd of persons who were anxious to see him, and until ho alighted at a restarateur's. A considerable crowd soon collected, and cries of A bas Guizot!' were heard, but we are bound to say that they were uttered only by children, who took to flight immedi ately on the approach of a commissary of police. Nu merous groups, however, continued to collect round the house, waiting until M. Guizot should come out, but their manner had nothing of a hostile character. When M. Guizot at length came out to enter bis carriage, a cry of Vive la IMpublique proceeded from several voices, and resoundad in the ears of the ex- Minister of Louis Philippe. Such are the real facts of the case ; the authorities had not to interftre in any way, and confined themselves to what was going on. We learn that, on his arrival at Honfleur, M. Guizot, notwithstanding the presence of the Mayor of the place, who came to meet him, was greeted with some hoot ings, without, however, any serious act of aggression being attempted. In a very short time after his arrival at Honfleur he entered his carriage and proceeded to Val Richer." Sergeant Commissantg,yepresentative of the people, was arrested on Wednesday at Saverne, department of the Bas Rhin. He bore the false name of SE• BASTIEN. The Emancipation of Brus.els says that Sergeant RATTIER, representative of the people, was so slightly clothed, on leaving for England, that a person had to lend him a great coat. _ _ The Committee on the Bill for the completion of the Louvre has recommended the postponement of the project, on account of want of funds. The PRESIDENT of the Republic went yesterday to visit his old quarters at Ham. Some speculators assembled yesterday in the Pas sage de l'Opera, but no business was done. The nominal price of the Five per Cents. was 87f. 65c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS A I THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 21.

The last accounts from Itadstadt are of the 16th. The besieging troops Here remaining inactive, owing to the desire of their commanders:to avoid bloodshed, and not destroy the fortifications. A copy of a journal printed in the town, called the Messenger of the For , tress , had been found on a prisoner. It contained articles stating that the victories said to have been gained by the Prussians were untrue, complaining of the spirit displayed by the citizens, &c. The in surgents kept a strong fire on the besiegers, but with out much effect. The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 17th publishes a de cree of the Grand Duke of Baden„ dissolving the Baden army for revolt. A battalion of infantry serv ing in Schleswig, and a squadren of dragoons at Lan dau, absent when the insurrection broke out, were ex empted from this measure. The officers and soldiers who acted under the revolutionary government are to be tried by court-martial. The Swabian Mercury says that the property be longing to the Swiss in the duchy of Baden, which is said to be worth 30,000,000 f., has been seized by the Government. This is probably done by way of reprisal, for the refusal of the Swiss Government to give up, without indemnity, the arms of the Baden insurgents, who have sought refuge in Switzerland. It is announced that this seizure will be maintained, until the Swiss Government shall have given up the arms belonging to Baden. We read in a letter from Berne of the 17th :-- "The number of German refugees who have with drawn to the Swiss territory is fortunatety not so considerable as the first official reports led one to expect ; it does not exceed 8,000 men, the greatest part of whom belong to the column of General SIGEL, admitted on the 11th and 12th on the terri tory of Zurich, and distributed afterwards amongst the cantons of the centre. The conduct of these refugees is, with a few exceptions, suitable. The Executive Council has just addressed to the can tonal Governments a long circular, fixing the mode to be followed to regularise the admission of the emi grants. Several passages of this circular show that the superiority of Switzerland will not tolerate that its territory be borrowed in order to establish there a hotbed of Propagandism. M. FURRER, President of the Federal Executive Council, proceeded to Basle, where there are also several members of the diplo matic bodies accredited to the Swiss Confederation. M. FURREE, who returned the day before yesterday, is in hopes that an amnesty will soon be proclaimed. M. DE SIDOW, the Envoy of Prussia, also proceeded to Basle, and thence to the head-quarters of the Prince of PRUSSIA. Without, however, waiting for the result of these steps, the Federal Government has transmitted to the cantons a decree, ordering the immediate sending away from the Swiss territory of the chiefs of the last revolt in the German territory. "1 PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter of the 18th, in the Conatitutionnel, says—" To-day the primary elections took place. As the city has been divided into 20 electoral sections, it is impossible to state the complete result; however, the following is the result of the ballot in 130 sections. The democratic party of all shades has abstained, as informed you would be the case, but the masses voted. In the greatest part of the sections, the electors had come forward in full number. The great majority of the elections as yet known belong to the Liberal-Con servative party, the rest to the extreme Right. The Democratic party finds itself excluded by its system of holding back. it is almost sure that in all the city the result will be the same." A letter in the Emancipation of Brussels declares that three-fifths of the electors of Berlin refrained from voting, but that the result was in favour of the Government and the reactionary party. The Cologne Gazette says, that in the localities of the Rhine and the Moselle, in Westphalia and Munster, at Coblentz, Cologne, Dusseldorff, Crefeld, Elberfeld, Barmen, and numerous other places, only a small number of elec tors have taken part in the vote, but those who did vote were in favour of the Government. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals of the 18th contain a long account of the occupation of Cronstadt by the Rus sians, and of their advance' upon. Hermanstadt, but the accounts received by Constantinople are; of a later date by two days, and they announce the defeat of LUDERS by BEM, who also has defeated the Ban JELLACHICU, and driven both him and the Russians into Wallachia. The accounts from Vienna admit that BEM gives LUDER3 and JELLACHICR plenty to do in Transylvania, and that GEORGEY holds HAYNAU in check before Comorn. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Vienna dated July 10, in which it is said that General BEM has at length forced the passage over the Theiss at Titl; that; he has beaten the Ban of Croatia, taken all the positions of the Imperialist army, and hunted their routed forces to Semlin. Arad is in the hands of the Hungarians, who have relieved the garrison of Peterwardein, and to whom the road to Sclavonia is now open. General WEIOLGEMUTII arrived in Vienna from the seat of war, on the 17th. . Pesth is now occupied by the Russians. The town is almost deserted, for nearly the whole of the male population has left it, and gone with KossuTu. Before quitting Pesth, the Dictator of Hungary published a proclamation, in which he says-- "Noble inhabitants of Buda•Pesth!—Remain quiet and tranquil ! Receive your enemies, the Austrians, as guests. Hoist the Imperial flags, that no harm may come to the heart of the country—to the most self devoted capital on earth. We are forced to leave you, for we cannot develop our forces here. Be of good cheer, for in a few mouths I shall return to this beloved city. I have ever kept my word, and I will do so again. Be fore parting from you, dearest brethren, I will take care that you shall not want." Stublweissenburgh was occupied by the Impe rialists on the 14th. NUGENT'S troops entered Kanischa and Kestel, on the Platten Lake, without meeting with opposition. The " constitutional military oath" was taken by the Austrian garrison of Lemberg on the 10h, in the presence of a brilliant staff of Russian and Austrian officers. The oath was first read to the soldiers in the German, Polish, and Ruthenian languages. The Emperor of RUSSIA left Warsaw for St. Pe tersburgh on the 9th. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, accompanied by Prince SCHWARZENBURG, C oun t GIULAY, and Dr. BACU, Provisional Prime Minister, left Vienna for Brunn. Ho LLAND. THE HAGUE, JULY 21.—The Staats Courant pub lishes the summary of the comparative receipts and expenditure of the first six months of 1848.49. There is an augmentation of 347,151 fi Tins as the produce 'of indirect taxes (those taxes having been 8,339.442 florins in the first six months of 1849) ; of 333,657 florins as import, export, and navigation dues (these amounting to 2,356,369 florins); of 378,292 &dal On the excise (these haying amounted to 9,237,081 florii , s) ; and of 8 ; 736 fLu-ins as patents for gold and silver (amounting to 72,094 florins). On the other hand, there has begin a diminution during the , first six months of 1849 of 211,120 florins in registration and succession stamps and duty (these having amouoted to 4,367,876 florins); of 34,937 florins on the post-office (tIY , receipts of which have fallen to 667,857 florins); and of 1,077 florins on the lotteries (which have fallen to 135,640 florins). His MAJESTY has authorised the State to accept a very valuable legacy of a rare collection of antiqui ties, bequeathed by the late Baron H. J.

General ROSTOLAN published a proclamation on the 12th at Rome, stating that the disarmament having been effected with great regularity, the inhabitants were permitted to walk the streets until half-past 10 o'clock P.M. Two cannon shots were to serve as the signal for closing their houses. Two Jesuits, arrested in consequence of an altercation with a French cap tain, had been restored to liberty. Twenty•five mem bers of the Constituent Assembly were ordered to quit Rome and not approach the city within a distance of 45 miles. Colonel CHAPUIS, the Prefect of Police, had pro hibited persons wearing uniforms they were not entitled to, under the penalty of 10 francs fine for the first tim e , an d o f twenty f rancs f i ne and 20 days, imprisoment for the second. The uniform, more over, was to be confiscated, and if the individual arrested was a foreigner, he was to be expelled. On the 10th the high dignitaries of the clergy re paired to the Palace Rospigliosi, to thank General OUDTNOT for the imprtant services the French army had rendered the population of Rome. The deputa tion consisted of Cardinal CASTRACANE, Grand Peni tentiary ; of Monsignor ANDREA, Archbishop of Mytelene ; of the General of the Dominicans, and dif ferent members of the order, and of the General and the Advocate- General of the Bernardines, &c. GARIBALDI, who has b. , en joined by FORBES, at the head of 800 mtn, has defeated the French division sent in pursuit of him, and established himself in the neighbourhood of Terni. MAZZINI, Slim, and ARMELLINI have left Rome. SALICETI is not to be found. PISACANE has been arrested. The only paper allowed to appear in Rome is the Giornale di Roma, the editor of which is a Jesuit, the Abbate COPPL. The POPE has refused to receive the deputation from Bologna, which came to ask for a continuance of liberal institutions. The insult offered to the American Consul may lead to serious consequences. The Consul has left Rome to join the American Commodore in the Mediterranean, to ask his intervention. This may lead to an active interference on the part of the great Transatlantic Republic in the af fairs of Italy. If Austria is justified in calling in Rus sian aid against Hungary,the Liberals of Italy and Sicily are equally justified in calling in American aid against Austria ; deserted as they have been by England and betrayed by France, and the States would be nothing loth to interfere ; they have long been yearn ing after a naval station in the Mediterranean. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th states that the Austrians are to give up the posts they occupy in the Roman States to the French, as the Austrians are to march to Hungary. From Ferrara we learn that a demonstration has been made in that town against the French. A funeral service was celebrated in honour of the patriots who died for the cause of their country, de • fending Rome against the tyranny of France. This gave rise to some disturbances, and the authorities had sent off in all haste to Bologna for troops. In different parts of the country the people were col lecting, and forming bands of armed men, who were preparing to join GARIB ILDI. The elections had commenced in Piedmont. MM. GIOBEETI and BALB9 had been elected at Turin. VENICE. The following is the reply of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to the letter of MANIN, the Pre sident of the Venetian Republic, soliciting the friendly intervention of England and France " Sir,—l have received your letter of the 4th ult., which you did me the honour to address me. I was much moved by the nuble sentiments it contained, ex pressed with so much dignity. No one can render greater justice than we do to the courage, moderation, and disinterestedness which the people of Venice have displayed is defence of their independence. If the liberty of Italy had been thus defended on all points, it would not have succumbed, or would at least, it after an honourable resistance it had struck into the path of ne gotiations, have obtained conditions which, in part at least, would have procured for it the advantages of a victory. Fate decreed it otherwise. Irremediable faults were committed, and the Venetians, who are free of ell blame, are compelled now to suffer the penalties of them under the sway of circumstances. Whatever illusions of a high-minded patriotism may have led you, still, Sir, you are far too intelligent nut to be aware that, after what has taken place, if Venice alone in Italy continues to withstand Austria, the Cabinet of Vienna can never be induced to grant to it an independent existence which it refused to concede at a time that it was willing to make concessions of that nature to Lombardy. To in duce it to do se, events must have occurred beyond human calculation, or else we must have had a universal war, which at the present juncture would have been such a terrible evil for Europe that you yourself could scarcely have desired it, is your sound judgment doubt less will not permit you to expect uncertain and hypo thetical advantages for your country at the price of a universal tertible catastrophe, in which perhaps Venice would be irretrit vably lost. I entreat you, therefore, ❑ot to let youselt be dtceivf d. Make use of the autho rity you have so justly earned by your great talents and services to open the eyes of your fellow-citizens, and without losing valuable time take advantage of the corn buied circumstances thet may induce Austria to give better conditions to Venice. It is not necessary for rue to tell you, that if you enter on this path France will do all that is in its power to facilitate matters. By the time you have received this letter you will have already been informed that the London Cabinet entertains simi lar views and sentiments.

MA RLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) John Verch, a servant out of place, was placed at the bar charged with having attempted to pass a fictitious five-pound note, with intent to defraud Mr. Robert Green, stationer, 129, Oxford. street. The prosecutor stated diet about ten o'clock on &tun. day night the prisoner entered his shop, and putting down the note produced on the counter, asked him to change it for a Mr. Parker,'who was a neighbour of com plainant. On looking at the note be immediately saw it was a note of the " Bank of Elegance," promising to pay the sum of 5/. to any person who could cut hair equal to a hairdresser, whose name was at the foot of the note. Witness asked the prisoner what change he would like. He replied, " Oh, gold, or anything that is convenient to TOIL" Com plainant then said he would give him his full change directly he saw'a policeman, and that he should detain the note. The prisoner, on hearing this, snatched the note out of witness's hand and bolted out of the shop. Complainant pursued him, calling out "Stop him," as far as Wigtnore street, where he was stopped by a con stable and taken to the station. Sergeant Bewley, 20D, said that on Saturday night he was on duty in Wigmore-street, when he saw the pri soner running towards him, followed by the ipresecutor, who called out "Stop him." Witness collared defen dant, who begged him not to detain him, as he was only runaing - for ,aillark. The complainant then came up, and gave him in charge. Witness conveyed him to the station, where, on searching him, he found the " Bank of Elegance" note produced. The prisoner, in defence, said he had not the least idea that the note was fictitious. lie found the note at his lodgings, and not bring able to either read or write, he could not tell the difference between a good note or a bad one until it had been pointed out to him by the complainant. lie could assure the magistrate that he could have the highest testimonials from d,fferent fami lies in whose service he had lived. In reply to Mr. BINGHAM, the constable said he had been to the address which defendant gave when he was locked up, and foun.l it correct, and that he also bore a good character in the neighbourhood. Mr. BINGHAM said the defendant's conduct, i e run ning out of the complainant's shop, tended to ex ti suspicion that he was aware that the note was spurious, and that he fully intended to defraud the prosecu or. It rras fortunate for him that he did not succeed, for if he had only obtained a single shilling it would have gone hard with hiru.
