The Smoke Prohibition Bill was yesterday ad vanced a stage in the House of Commons. After an animated discussion on the question that the " House resolve itself into Committee on the Bill," a divi sion took place, when the motion was carried by a majority of 19—the numbers being, in favour of the Bill. 83 ; against it, 64. A further debate then took place on the first clause, but without positive result, the Chairman having reported progress and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday, the 25th inst. It is at all times desirable to avoid any undue interference with persons engaged in trade or manufacture of any description. As a general rule, every person should be permitted to carry on his own business in the manner which experience teaches him to be most expedient. His own pecuniary interests will induce him to adopt the most profitable method, and to aban don the old-fashioned principle when any decided and unquestionable improvement has been in troduced, and proved to be capable of being carried into execution at a reasonable and moderate expenditure. But there are certain exceptions to this as to every other rule, and the chief of these excep tions is founded on the welt-known maxim of the common law, " that every person must so use his own property as not to injure or annoy either the community or any private individual." He must not commit either a public or private nuisance. If his proceedings affect the health of the neighbour hood, then, indeed, it is essential that some cheap and expeditious remedy should be afforded by which he should be compelled to abate the grievance complained of, and to carry on his business in a less objectionable manner. Sometimes a conflict of interests may arise. A miumfacture, the maintenance and prosperity of which is of national importance, could not, perhaps, be carried on without some degree of injury to others. A balance, then, must be struck, and that course adopted which combines the greatest amount of public advantage with the least public inconvenience, in accordance with the well-known political axiom— , The greatest happines of the greatest number?' The first question that arises in such a case will necessat ily be—ls the grievance complained of of such a nature that it cannot be got rid of? Will its prohibition involve the destruction of the business, or can it be profitably carried on in a different and less objectionable manner? If not, whether it is more desirable to stop the manufacture, perhaps bringing ruin on the proprietor, and casting a great number of persons out of employment, or to submit to the ex isting inconvenience as the least of the evils to be encountered ? The present measure may fairly be tested by these rules. There is first the unquestionable grievance of dense masses of smoke, which being heavier than the atmosphere sinks immediately after its exit, polluting the entire air, and bringing not only serious discom fort, but even, in some instances, the most dangerous consequences upon the surrounding districts. Re cent discoveries have proved that diseases of the ' most fatal character are produced by noxious smells and a disordered state of the atmosphere. An open cesspool, a neglected drain, may really cause a greater destruction of human life than a hostile army, while an overcrowded grave yard in the heart of a populous city may present greater dangers than those encountered " i ' the im minent deadly breach." And those dangers are not the less formidable because unseen, and approaching silently and insidiously. That smoke has had no trifling effect in swelling the bills of mortality in those towns in the vicinity of which large manufac tories are carried on is unquestionable. Even the vegeta tion in the neighbourhood is dwarfed and stunted, and it may safely be assumed that what is thus found deeply injurious to vegetable life will to some extent prove deleterious to animal life. If, therefore, any altera tion can be effected by which this flagrant nuisance may be abated with reasonable care and at a mode rate outlay, it should forthwith be adopted. Now, the present measure is founded entirely on the fact that it is nut only practicable to consume the great mass of smoke issuirg from furnaces, but that, putting higher motives out of the question, it is cheaper for the manufacturers to do se. The report of Sir It DE LA EXCISE and of Dr. LYON PLATFAIR, alluded to by the President of the Board of Trade, expressly states, " That it cannot for a mo ment be questioned, that the continued emission cf smoke is an unnecessary consequence of the combus tion of fuel, and that, as an abstract statement, it can be dispensed with." And the letter from a very eminent engineer, subsequently read by Mr. SANDARS, proves " That it is practicable, and that without any serious annoyance to the owners of steam boilers generally," to reduce the quantity of smoke to such a point as to be no longer an annoyance to the public." . Thus then, the main question in the case being answered in the affirmative, it becomes the obvious duty of the Legis lature to provide an easy method of enforcing the ' law. An easier remedy must be given than a tedious and expensive prosecution for a coin mcn-law nuisance. It will be not only for the public benefit, but even to the advan tage of manufacturers themselves, that such should be the case. Ample time, too, will be afforded to carry the necessary alterations into effect. The Act is not to come into operation until 1851, and if it can in the interim be shown that it is impossible to carry out the full provisions of the Bill, any requi site changes may be made during the next session. A slight alteration in the details would, in fact, effect all that could be required, viz., an enact. ment, that the issuing of opaque smoke should not be held to constitute an offence against the Act, if the owner should prove that " he had adopted, and carefully used, some well approved method for the consumption of the smoke issuing from his furnace, and endeavoured to the best of his power to abate the nuisance arising from the same. " The year 1849 will long be distinguished in the annals of the Corporation of the City of London as the period within which that great municipality earned its brightest laurels. It is not merely for the unbounded hospitality displayed on all occasions since Sir JAMES DIJK.E ascended the civic throne — although that hospitality has been seldom equalled, never surpassed, by any former Lord Mayor—that these laurels will be obtained. Neither will it be for the glorious manifestations in the cause of civil and religious liberty, the fixed and steady determination to remove the last vestige of intolerance from the national statute book, and the establishment of perfect freedom of conscience to all, without exception, who owe their fealty to the British Crown. Striking as have been these demonstrations, brilliant as may be the page of his tory on which these records will be inscribed, a higher and more enduring fame wia attend the ex ertions of those who strove to ameliorate the condition of their suffering fellow-creatures, to arrest the pro gress of the distress and destitution, the misery and wide-spread ruin which threatened the destruction of our Irish brethren. A " monument more durable than brass" will be erected to those who boldly flung themselves into the breach, and brought their exten sive resources into operation on behalf of their fellow subjects who were sinking under the unequal struggle. The efforts made in the beginning of the 17th century, although the results have indeed been mag nificent, will sink into insignificance when compared with the achievements of the present year. At the former period the great companies of the British me tropolis undertook the duty of "colonization." They received free grants of large tracts of lands that had been confiscated from the former proprietors. They drove the present inhabitants from their birth-places to seek refuge in the western provinces, and they re peopled the land with a new race, whose steady and unceasing industry, and calm and resolute deter mination, speedily brought the bleak and sterile soil of the ." black north" into the highest state of fertility and cultivation, and who attained a prosperity similar to that enjoyed by the 1 inhabitants of this happy and highly favoured land. But the Corporation of the present day have higher aims and objects. They do not desire to obtain the fruits of confiscation, to succeed to any estates for which the former owners shall not receive the full and fair value, even to the uttermost farthing. They seek not to realise any pecuniary profits, to aggrandize them selves or their successors at the expense of others. They are entering on no mere commercial speculation, in which the prospects of gain more than compensate the risks to be encountered. They are animated by feelings of the purest philanthropy and benevolence, and by none of a baser or more worldly character. They only seek " a return of the capital to be in vested with interest," to be restored the amount of their outlay in the purchase and improvement of estates and waste lands, and the employment of the labouring population. All further profits will be strictly applied in promoting the welfare of the people, fur the benefit not only of their immediate tenantry, but of all who come within the sphere of their operations. Their proceedings, too, if more disinterested and equitable, will also be distinguished by greater huma nity and benevolence. They do not contemplate the banishment or expulsion of the present occupants. They do not intend, in the first instance to depopulate the district that may be required—" to make a desert and call it peace." No ; they will undertake the more arduous, but the more humane and beneficent duty of working out the welfare and happiness of the native occupiers, of elevating Ireland in the social scale, of promoting the national wealth and prosperity of the sister kingdom, through the agency and by the industry of her own children, who, whatever may be their faults, are a warm• hearted and grateful race —nay, more, an active and energetic people, able and willing to work whenever the legitimate rewards of labour are placed within their reach. The admirable letter of the illustrious Nobleman who now so worthily occupies the Viceregal Throne of Ireland clearly indicates the due appreciation with which the glorious undertaking is regarded by those most competent to form a sound judgment as to its probable results. The Earl of CLARENDON expresses not merely " his satisfaction" but " his delight " at the " prudence and genuine philan thropy " of the originators of the movement—a movement likely to be productive of the happiest consequences, not only to Ireland, but " through Ireland to the United Kingdom?' -- - Although the state and condition of that unhappy land is gloomy and discouraging, it is by no means hopeless. There are already afforded slight but certain indications of a more propitious season, of a " good time coming," when the aspirations of the well wishers of Ireland will be fully and completely rea lised. Every sentence of the LORD-LIEUTENANT ' S letter to the Chief Magistrate of the city of London bears the impress of truth. There is a " verisimi litude" that must convince the most sceptieal, that must remove the fears of the greatest alarmist. In it we are told " that the present state of things con tains within itself no germ of amelioration"—that it cannot even remain stationary"—that " it must go from bad to worse ;" but we are also informed by his Excellency that " no thing could induce him to recommend it if he did not conscientiously believe that the investment would prove remunerative," and that he entertains no doubt on the point; " for if good land is to be bought at a cheap rate, if secure titles can be obtained at a small expense, and if capital is available for improv ing the soil and rendering it productive, such an in vestment cannot fail to be profitable." The auxiliary circumstances that justify that opinion are clearly and distinctly set forth. The cessation of political and agrarian outrages, the chastened disposition of the people, whose only present anxiety is " to obtain em ployment," all afford the most cheering auguries as to the result. And "if the bright example exhi bited by the Corporation of London, by the greatest capitalists and best men of business in the world," be only followed, as there is every reason to hope it will be, Ireland will speedily emerge from her difficulties. The sufferings and wretchedness of the past will be forgotten in the cheering prospect before them. They will learn the truth of the asser tion of their talented countrywoman, " that there is a silver lining in every cloud;" that " the brightest day succeeds the darkest morning." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following is the state of the poll for the elec tions of Paris, so far as, the same was known yes terday : THE SUN LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1849. 61 CONSERVATIVE LIST. 1.

Among the districts from which the numbers have not yet been received are many arrondissements of the Banlieu, in which the principal, strength of the Republicans lie ; it is therefore not improbable that M. GOUDCHAUX may be returned instead of M. BOINVILLIERS, and it is possible also that M. DUPONT (DE Bussac) may have a majority over M. ACHItLLE FOULD. The Conservatives have on 'ibis occasion acted with unanimity ; they have had but one list, and every Conservative of every shade has paid implicit obedience to the commands of the Union _Electorale ; the Republicans, on the contrary, after having agreed to a coalition list, broke up into separate sections, and there were, besides the coalition list, lists of every shale of Republicanism, from the Constitu tionalism of N. MARRAST to the Communism of M. PROUDHON. No party, however strong, which adopts such absurd tactics as these can hope for success, and in consequence the result was never for one moment doubtful. The election has ex.crted scarcely any sen sation in Paris. The results of the elections in the departments were not known yesterday in Paris, although there is no doubt of the return of M. DE LAMARTINE for the Department of the Loiret. The numbers as far as they were known yesterday, were— L4J,UnINE.. MADIER RONDEAU .. 7,259 .. 2,026 . . 280 Honour to the electors of Loiret fir having re turned to the Assembly the man of all France, whose pretence there at the present crisis is the most ne• cessary. They have paid their portion of the debt of gratitude due to him, who, above all others, i s entitled to be hailed as " The saviour of his country —LAMARTINE the Liberator." M. DurAuftE has announced that a commission has been appointed to prepare an organic law for the regulation of the National Guard. In the Assembly, on Monday, M. LECLODURE brought forward a motion for raising the state of siege in Paris. This gave rise to an angry discussion, in the course of which the President made use for the first time of the almost despotic power conferred on him by the new regulations. M. DuenE having com plained that the Constitution was violated by the state of siege was called to order by the President, who, in doing so, took occasion to indulge in his pedagogic propensities by scolding the Members of the Left generally, and M. DUCHE in particular. The dis cw,sion then continued, and M. DUCHE having said that above the majority there was the country, to which he appealed, was again called to order by M. DTJPIN, who proposed to apply to him the 119th Article of the new regulations, which was of course agreed to by the majority. He was, therefore, sub jtcted to the simple censure of the Assembly, the consequence of which is the forfeiture of half his salary for a fortnight. These proceedings on the part of M. DUPIN, and the majority are worse than a fault they are a mistake. It is absurd for any party in France to attempt a permanent exclusion from power of any otherparty— the thing is simply impossible, and these precedents of pettishness will be hereafter appealed to to jus tify deeds, perhaps, of actual violence against those who now form the majority, but who will then be, as they have frequently been before, the minority— in which case, the only answer that will be vouch safed to their complaints will be an appeal to the present proceedings, and a Vous l'avez voulu GEORGES DANDIN, vows l ' avez voulu. The motion for raising the state of siege was re jected by a majority of 363 to 141. The vote of thanks to the army of Italy was passed. The Members of the left abstained from voting. The Moniteur publishes in extenso the official dispatches of General OUDINOT, announcing the sur render of Rome on the 4th instant. The surrender of the city was unconditional. Two columns of French troops entered on the 3d —one, with General OUDINOT and his staff at the head, by the Porta Portese ; the other, with General GuEswELLEB, by the Porta del Popolo and the Corso. They were received with acclamations generally. A hostile feeling was shown in the Corso, where a group was assembled with a flag surmounted by a cap of liberty. The flag was cut down by the troops. GARIBALDI, with from 3,000 to 4,000 men, left at one side while the French entered at the other. He was believed to have taken the road to Albano. Rome was tranquil. The army was in excellent health. No monument sustained the least damage, except one church near the breach. La Patric says that GARIBALDI, who had quitted Rome with 4,000 - or 5,000 men, had taken the road to Terracina, and traversed the kingdom of Naples to take refuge in the Abruzzi, where he proposed to carry on a guerilla warfare. Since the above was written we have received in telligence from Paris up to a late hour yesterday afternoon ; the following was the state of the poll up to that hour.

The speculators at the Bourse to-day commenced business with the expectation of a considerable rise in the price of Government Stock, but they experienced much disappointment on finding that the Five per Cents., which opened at 88f, 80c., fell suddenly, towards three o'clock, to 87f. 70c., and closed at 87f. 85c.

Thiers arrived in London yesterday, and it is aJded that the object of his visit is to open negotiations for a matrimonial treaty between the President of the French Republic and Madame la D . uchesse d'Orleans. We have not heard in what way It is proposed to settle this question of precedence be tween the Comte de Paris and the possible issue of the proposed marriage; but this point, doubtless, has not escaped the penetrating mind of M.

The Journal de Frankfort contains the following : " We have just receiv. 41 a letter from Carl-ruhe of the sth, which says, ' The Bombardment of Radstadt com menced the evening before last, and from the report very heavy artillery must be used. The fortress was vigorously bombarded last night; it is impossible that it can hold out long. It is commanded by an officer of the Baden dragoons named Tiedemann. The French Government has caused the arrest of Dr. Kuchling, the Civil Commissary of Kehl, who had fled to Strasburgh, and who was the principal author of the arrest of the courier of the Embassy of Weil, who was, it is said, taken to Radstadt and assassinated. The Frerch Go vernment wish to bring Dr. Kuchling before a court martial, which is generally approved of, as he has exer cised a frightful terrorism in the country. " M. KINKEL, an ex• deputy and professor at the university of Bonn, was shot on the 2d, in the forest of Rindheim, for participation in the events of Carlsruhe. PRUSSIA. The peasant electors of the district of Schwitz, to the number of eighty, have addressed the following strange requisition to the KING :- 6 , We approach your Majesty as 'ors approach a father, with respect and unbounded confidence. We bear that we must soon elect new Deputies for Berlin. We, therefore, humbly ask your Majesty, if we must e i, et ? We would much rather not du so, but leave our welfare, as we did formerly, to the wisdom of your Ma jesty. But, if we must elect, we should like to be in• formed whom we shall select s . as to meet your Majesty's approbation. We are people, for the most part, only speaking the Polish language, but possessing true Prus sian hearts. We are filled with the greatest gratiwde for the benefits conferred upon us by your Majesty's illusnious predecessors; therefore, we are filled with hatred towards those who seek to enfeeble your Majes ty's power. We only await a summons from your Ma jesty to shed our heart's blood for your throne. This assurance v<e most respectfully deposit hereby at your Majesty's feet, and will die your Majesty's devoted sub jects. (Signatures follow.) " Luranneck, June 26." To this address the Minister of the Interior, after thanking them for their loyalty, replied as follows : " You ask for an answer. Yes! The King desires that you will vote. Your country expects that you will not remain inactive during a proceeding upon which de pends its future welfare. From the day that Prussia has had a Constitution, and that the King will only go vern constitutionally, the people are bound to select the best and most effective from among them as repre sentatives, so that the country may, by their co operation, obtain laws which may lay the foundation of its welfare. Placo confidence in the Govern- merit, and then, by labouring with, you will con tribute to its strength. Elect men as representatives who will possess your confidence ; men who take no pleasure in factious squabblings and dissensions at a moment when unity can atone bring us to the wished-for goal. Elect men who are intimately acquainted with your affairs, and who more highly value the welfare of t heir King and the it constituents than their own interests. Elect true Prussians, who will not bring shame upon that which has been made good by our Prussian swords! But, above all things, vote, and do not leave the field to the mercy of the enemies of the King and people! One more effort, then peace and tranquillity will re turn, and a blessed prospect will bloom upon our fatherland." The Hake and Duchess of BOURDEAUX have ar rived at Eitmt, and great numbers of the L-witima fists of France are flocking to Eims and to Coblentz (the name is ominous) to join them. The Berlin State Gazette publishes aßill, which is to be presented to the Chamber of Deputies, for establishing a tax varying from 3 to 5 per cent. on incomes above 400 dialers (1,500 fr.) The Federal Tribunal of Arbitrators, consisting of three members nominated by Prussia, two by Hanover, and two by Saxony, met on the 2d in Er furth. It will decide federal questions submitted to it by those Governments. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Emperor of AUSTRIA bas returned to Vienna. He will not, it is said, go baek to the army. The Cologne Gazette states that a battle took place on the 3d between Aes and Saany, in which the Magyars completely defeated the Imperialists. As the Austrian and reactionary faction in this country has been industriously circulating a false report, stating that the national cause of Hungary is repu diated by the Magnate families of the Magyars, we think it right to give the following list of officers belonging to Magnate families at present serving in the Hungarian army, in order to prove the falsehood of these assertions. LIST or OFFICERS BELONGING TO MAGNATE FAMILIES SERVING IN THE HUNGARIAN ARMY. General Count Vecsey, Colonel Count Gregor Beth len, Major Count Francis Bethlen, Captain Count Joseph Bethle,n, Colonel Baron John Baldly, Colonel Count Haddik, Lieutenant-Colonel Count Paul Ester hazy, and two Hussar captains, Counts Esterhazy, Michel and Coloma (in the regiments of Hanover and Alexander, Hussars); Lieutenant Count Joseph Ester hazy, Colonel Baron Wolfgang Kemeny; Colonel Count Mikess, and Captain Count Mikess; Lieutenant Count Otto Zichy; Major Count Julius Andrassy, and Major Count Aladur Andrassy; Major Count Buttler; Cal tain Count Gitza Saapary, Major Baron Arpat Lo-Presti; Major Count Alexander Haller, and Major Count Charles Haller; Captain Count Coltman Schmidegg, and Captain Count Francis Schmidegg; M&jor Count Ernst Almassy, and Major Count Albert Almassy; Captain Count Stephen Stahrenberg; three captains, Counts Vay; Captain Count Ladislaus Batthyanyi, and Lieutenant Count A.

HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JULY W.—The second Chamber of the States General resumed its sitting this day. Several projects of law will be presented ; those to be first taken into consideration are the Civil L ist—the income of the QUEEN DOWAGER, the income of the Prince of ORANGE. After the passing of these pro jects the following will be submitted to the Chambers : —Project for improving the Netherlands ; Pharma copeia, on the state of medicine; a special law for the admission and expulsion of strangers; the regulation of the income of the Crown ; settlement of the Crown lands ; regulation of the revenues of North Brabant. Sir ROBERT PEEL arrived at the Hague, with his attendants, on the 9th. The Hon. Gentleman is tra velling incognito, under the name of M. ENGLISH. The steamer Willen den Eersten, having on board her Royal Highness MARIANNE and her suite, was obliged to put in at Texel, in consequence of con trary winds. She has just been able to resume her route. The annual exhibition of national manufactures has just been opened at Delft. The specimens are chiefly from the two provinces of Holland, and show at a glance the great improvements that have taken place in the Netherlands manufactures within the last year. His MAJESTY has promised to inspect the exhibition, and is expected at Delft in the course of a few days.—Dutch Papers, July 11. AMSTERDAM, JULY 10.—Inland funds steady, with many transactions in integrals. The Commercial Company's shares were much in demand, with a de cidedly upward tendency. Transactions in the Spanish debt were very animated. Ardoins and Coupons steady. Three per Cent. Island, on the contrary, fell per cent. in consequence of several instigations. Portuguese Funds continued their up ward movement; no transactions of any importance were made in other stock.—Amsterdam Courant, July 11. ITALY. The Genoa Gazette of the 6th says it has received the following intelligence from Rome, dated the sth :—" General OUDINOT refused to grant condi tions, as he would not treat with the Triumvirs. The latter, who would follow no other course but that of resistance, which had become impossible, resigned their powers. The Assembly elected another trium virate in the persons of President SALICETI, CALAN DRELLI, and MARIANI. Meantime the French entered Rome without any further resistance, and without capi tulation, the municipality having merely stipulated the usual conditions of humanity. MAZZINI left th e t own with a British passport, AYEZZANA with an Ameri can one. GARIBALDI left Rome with a certain number of troops, and was pursued by the French cavalry in the direction of Tivoli. Many Lombards obtained British passports. General OUDINOT published the following procla mation at Rome, on the 3d Inhabitants of Rome,—The army sent . upon your territory by the French Republic has the mission of re storing order, called for by the ardent de s i re o f t h e people. A factious or misled minority has forced us to assault your bastions. We are masters of the place, we shall fulfil our mission. In the midst of the proofs of sympathy with which we have been received, where the sentiments of the real Roman people were not doubtful, some hostile clamours have been heard, and have forced us to employ immediate repression L et honest peopl e an d th e true friends of liberty be reas sured, but let the enemies of order and security know that, should oppressive manifestations, provoked by a fac tion unconnected with the Papal States, be renewed, they shall be rigorously repressed. To give positive pledges to public security, I decree the following measures : Provisionally all p , ,wer is concentrated in the hands of the military authorities. They shall immediat..ly call upon the municipal authority to aid them. The As sembly, the Government, whose violent and oppres , ive rule began with ingratitude at d ended in an impious appeal to war against a nation friendly to the Roman people, the clubs and the political associations, have ceased to exist. All publications by print, all notices not authorised b y t h e mil i tary au th or iti es , are provi sionally prohibited. Crimes against persons and pro perty are within the competence of military tribunals, The General of division Rostolan is named Governor of Rome. The General of brigade, Sauvan, is named Commandant in the city." Private letters from Rome of the 4th mention that the clubs were to be shut up; the violent journals suppressed ; the Constituent Assembly dissolved ; the Roman troops discharged; strangers who had taken an ative part in in the late troubles expelled ; a muni cipality elected; and military tribunals to judge crimes against persons and property established. General OUDINOT had published a proclamation, in which the POPE was alluded to only indirectly. The Phrygian cap had been removed from all public paces. Rome was declared in a state of siege. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa publishes the following letter, dated the Ist, from MANIN, the Pre sident of the Republic of Venice, to the Austrian Minister BRUCK : " Excellency,--I have communicated to the Assembly of Itt presentatives the report which MM. Calucci an(i Pasini made to this government with respect to the conference held with your Excellency at Verona, on the 21st and 22d of June, and the letter you did me the honour to write to me on the 23d from Milan. The Assembly, in its sitting of yesterday, passed the follow ing resolution by secret ballot by 105 ♦otes out of 118— ' Having heard the communications of Government, and read the notes of the diplomatic corre spondence held ; seeing that the so-called offers of Austria with respect to the Lombardo-Ve netian territory, on one hand, would neither se cure the rights, nor respect the dignity of the nation, and on the other consist in mere promises without any guarantee, and only to be executed at the pleasure of Austria; seeing that the special offers to Venice are nothing but dishonourable conditions of capitulation; having heard the declaration of Government, that pub licity shall be given in print to the acts of the negoti tion, that Europe may judge between Austria and Venice, the Assembly passes to the order of the day.' While fulfilling the duty of addressing tho present com munication to your Excellency, I cannot dissemble my regret that the nature of the conditions proposed should have rendered vain our sincere intention of arriving at an arrangement which might prove reciprocally honour able and satisfactory. Receive, Excellency, the as surance of my profound consideration. " MANIN." TURKEY. The SULTAN has refused to accede to the request of Russia, that he would onier the agents of the Hungarian Republic to quit Constantinople. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 15,000 to 1 1,000 bales, 7,000 of which were taken on speculation. The sales included 12,000 American, at 3-0. to 6d.; 800 Pernam and Maranham, at sd. to 51d; 200 Bahia, at 5/d. to 51d.; 700 Egyptian, at 51d to 61 I.; 700 Surats, at 31d, to 4,f.; and' 80 Sea Island, at 81d. to 11d.—In Railway Shares a moderate business was done, at steady prices. There are no ship arrivals with later colonial news, but we have accounts from Buenos Ayres indirectly. The Continental mails bring favourable reports gene rally of the state of the markets for Public Securities, but, in some instances, the rise tempted sellers. At Berlin, on the 9th inst., prices were supported, and had a slight tendency even to advance. At Frankfort, on the 9th, rather less was doing in Foreign Stocks, and prices were barely so high. At Vienna, on the 7th, the market continued firm, and was animated. The Ex change on London was 12 20, and Bills on Foreign placss, and silver and gold were lower. At Amsterdam, on the 10th instant the National Securities were rather feeble, and with very little doing. Foreign Funds gene ruby had a less favourable tendency. In Spanish and Portuguese there was some animation. The Hanoverian Government has renounced provision ally, and on the same conditions as Pru-4.ia, the imposi tion of all duties of transit upon merchandise expedited directly from or to the Bc]gian ports, and which tra verse the Zollverein Stater on the railway beyond Minden in the direction of East Friesland. The crops are described as being remarkably luxuriant and forward in Belgium, and in the environs of Brussels the rye was being cut. The Dutch Government has been unable hitherto to obtain permission from the Danish. Government for the admission of its Post-office steamers, and this is natu rally felt as an especial grievance in the face of the like concession made to England and France. Whether any special feeling dictates the exclusion we are of course unable to say. It would appear by the accounts received from Buenos Ayres, that the chances of an understanding with Rosas are somewhat more precarious, and that a revival of his tyrannical proceedings over his countrymen was being commenced. One thing is certain, vis a that if the mis understanding continues, England and France must co-. operate energetically against the Dictator. The English stock market has been quieter to-day, and the value of Consols has been a shade lower for present transfer. Although, however, there is exceed ingly little doing in the way of speculation, the quota tions for the 17th inst. have been firm at 924. Ex chequer-bills have realised 48s. to 51s. premium. BuLk Stock bas risen to 196 and 1971. The New Three-and a-quarter per Cents. have been 921 I, and the Three per Cents. 921 4. East India Bonds have realised 795. to 82s. premium. In Foreign Securities the dealings have been very restricted. Mexican Bonds are 28 to but, with the favourable advices received yesterday, and the certainty that almost exists of an appropriation of the indemnity money to the part payment of arrears of interest, &c., under an equitable compromise, and the pay ment of 3i per cent. interest on the whole debt, is satisfactory for the holders of the securities, whatever it may be for the mere speculators. Spanish Three per Cents. bare been 34i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 30k. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. are 51. French Five per Cents. are 88.25 with the exchange at 25.40. Railway Shares are quiet, but the old lines are rather improving. Eastern Counties are again higher. ONE 0 1 0 CLUE. CLOSING ?WC 1 , :.• T , RITISH FUNDS PRICES. Bank Stock 3; er Cent.

This was an action to recover the sum of 191. 19s. for two sporting► dogs, a retriever and setter. Mr. Caoucrt stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a gamelt(eper, and defendant is an attorney at Plymouth. In July, 1846. defendant requested that two dogs should be sent to him on approval. Defendant kept both dogs till after September, when he wrote to say that one did not answer Nis expectations, but plaintiff insisted that both were to be returned if not approved of, and they ought to have been sent up much earlier than September, as it bocatne difficult to dispose of dogs at that season. Defendant did not, however, send either dog back, but one was sold to pay the expenses of his keep, as plaintiff refused to take him back. Defendant paid 101. into Court. Mr. D. Clarke, the plaintiff's brother, was called, and proved that detendant had agreed to give 191., and if he did not approve of them, he was to pay the expenses of the carriage of the dogs both ways. For the defence, it was contended that the contract was that defendant should be at liberty to return either or both. As regarded the length of time defendant kept the dogs, it was stated that the earli.-st day on which the retriever could be tried was the Ist of September, and before the 9th a letter was sent to plaintiff. Several letters were put in, in which defendant said he never would buy a dog ou warrantry; and on trial it was quite clear that the retriever would not fetch or carry anything more than a stick out of the water, and knew nothing about birds. Mr. Thomas Peter, a gentleman residing in Cornwall, proved being out with defendant on the Ist September, 1846, when a dog was tried. It was not worth a penny. It had not been trained as a retriever. He had had thirty years experience as a spor:sman. The UNDER-SHERIFF bummed up, and left it to the jury to say whether they placed full faith on the parol evidence of plaintiff's brother, ur whether they felt more confidence in the letters sent. The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdici for the plaintiff for 91. 19s. This was the only ease tried. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) James Skinner and John 14'ebberstadt were charged before Mr. Jardine, the latter with stealing, and the !or mer with receiving a body coat, the property of Wtn. Winter. It appeared, partly from the evidence of prosecutor, and partly from the prisoner's own statement, that Web berstadt, who is a tailor, had received the coat from prosecutor to alter, and had lent it to Skinner in order to enable him to pawn his own. When Winter applied to Webberstadt fur the coat, the time having expired when it should have been finished, he told him what he had done, and added that Skinner could not return Win ter's coat till he had " got out" his own, which neither he nor Webberstadt co uld do at present; but he (Winter), might have the duplicate of Skinner's coat instead, if he liked, which, of course, he declined. Webberstadt, in defence, pleaded the extreme exigence of Skinner's case as an excuse for lending him the coat to enable him to pawn his own. Air. HALL—You were very generous with whet was not your own. You did not offer to lend him your own. Prisoner—No, Sir, I couldn't spare it. After some furth' r discussion, it was agreed that the coat should be immediately given up, and that Winter i should withdraw the charge. The prisoners were accordingly discharged. LYCEUM THEATRE. 19 1 4 13 3 3 / 4 28% Miss Cushman has been engaged here to give four faros ell performances; the first of which took place last evening, when she repeated the part of Meg Mer rilies, in which she had appeared at this theatre on the previous Wednesday, for the benefit of Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam. Mr. C. Romer made his debilt, as Henry &rtrom, and achieved a moderate success. The Meg Merrilies of Miss Cushman was, of course, the great paint of attraction, and magnificently did she perform the part. She threw into every gesture, every word, every look, a degree of supernatural sublimity, which seemed as of one whose course of being was not of the common order, of one " who could ride the whirlwind and direct the storm," of one who, like Prospero, was a ruler of the elements, and a reader of the decrees of fate. At the end of the play she was called on and greeted with rapturous applause. TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir, —your correspond e nt, calling himself " A Hun garian," publi s h e d l ast T ues d a y a long article in an Aus trian spirit, and with regard to Kossuth, expresses him. self amongst other things, to this effect : " I will not revive the not very honourable reminis. cences of his private life." 16 I And further— " That never was so indisputable a talent as an agita tor and demagogue combined with so total a want of candour and political honesty and all sentiments of rec titude and loyalty, with so vain a presumption, or with such signal perfidy, as in the person of the leader of the Hungarian revolution." Speaking from personal observation, we emphatically declare your correspondent's assertion with regard to Kossuth to be an unfounded .calumny, and dare this ano nymous informant openly and distinctly to utter all he has to say against Kossuth's private character. Let him revive these threatenvd reminiscences; we are ready to answer him. As to Kossuth's public lre, it is w e ll known; history will pass i:s impartial judgment on him; but even in t his respect, we invite your col r. :pendent to quote in corrob::ration of his assertion a single deed, speech, or order of Kossuth's.
