'I he matfret closed very firm.—Railway Shares continued firm, but with little business doing. Wheat met with a very dull sale at Mark-lane to-day, () wing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and the certain speedy re-opening of the German porte, and the prices gave way from those of Monday last 4s. per quarter for wheat. In spring corn scarcely any bu• siness was transacted. Yoe very favourable character of the Beard of Trade returns has been the subject of general comment. An increase in the exports of more than thirteen hundred thousand pounds upon the month of June last, compared eenh the corresponding period of 1848, is of itself im• portant, and could not but inspire great hopes of the future, since, upon examination, it is manifest that the augmentation is in many of the leading branches of our Manufacturing industry. The imports are certainly much larger, but they add to the substantial comfort of our people, and have, no doubt, stimulated the ex port business. The steamer Niagara from the United States arrived at Liverpool at ten o'clock this morning, but this is too late to allow of our receiving the letters to day. The West India letters have come to hand this morning, and they are rather important, though of a chequered character. The weather continued dry in several of the colonies, and notably in Demerara and Jamaica, but Barbados s was more favoured, copious rains having fallen and given a great impulse to vegetation. The island of Jamaica was agitated by the dissolution of the Assembly, and the general elections which were expected to bring in a more determined set of Financial Reformers than had previously existed. The amount of Bank-notes in circu lation on the 30th of June was 116,808/. The Continental advices report that at Amsterdam, on the 4th inst., the Funds continued to advance, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closing at 52k. At Berlin, on the 3d inst., business in railways was tolerably ani mated, but Stocks wero rather drooping. The Vienna market was lively for home Stocks and Shares, but Fo. reign Securities were feeble. At Frankfort on the 3d instant a more animated business was done in Public Securities. It is understood that the agreement between the llonourable East India Company and the two railway companies —the East Indian and the Great Indian Peninsula—has been at length definitively concluded, thus putting the seal upon the Act of Parliament ob tained a day or two since. Notwithstanding the fine weather, the improvement in the Continental Stock Mat kets, and the general buoyant feeling, the English Funds continue to rule rather heavy, chiefly from default of business. Thus if a money sale or two is pressed, the absence of many of the principal jobbers from town occasions more difficulty than usual in effecting the transaction, and without any inhe rent weakness, the market is prevented trom rising.

The Railway Share Market, from about the same causes as influence stocks, is exceedingly dull. The splendid weather, in fact, invites most people to leave where they possibl at y can.

MILFORD, AUG. 4.—The Mary Ellen smack, Davies, from Neath, to 11.2 d Wharf, struck on a sunken reek off Crow Point, yesterday, and sank immediately; crew saved. • Chi:a itn Laino commendation by Ebony, as ens whose pedestal is erected within " a quiet, quaint niche, apart to him self; in an odd no )1i or cfn.ner in the great temple of English !item' ure." As a criticism, the first contri bution in the August number of Blackwood is a ge nerous recognition of the genius of Elia as an essayist, and a well-natured sarcasm on Mr. Sergeant—we beg his pardon--Mr. Justice Talfourd, as the biographer of Charles Lamb. wing ourselves examined the " Final Memorials" on the occasion of their first ap pearance, and examined their merits and defects, too, with considerable minuteness, it is unnecessary for us to sayr more of the present analysis of these two volumes than that it is throughout characterised by a genial temperament, and yet at the same time by an ever-present tendency to depreciate the London men of leters of the last generation—llazlitt, God win, Lamb, Lloyd, Dyer, Barnes, and their contem poraries. At page 140 there is a particularly savage attack upon Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, and one too which we cannot help regardingas rather unamiably gratuit ous. Turn we now to our favourites " The Caxtons :" Vivian, under the gentle guidance of Austin, becomes in truth and in deep repentant—being in fact ulti mately reconciled to his father Captain Roland, and even in the end permitted to accompany "the Anachronism" to Australia. The present instalment of this charming fiction closes with the departure of the cousins on their pilgrimage across the ocean to their southern destination. We must not omit some slight passing allusion to the incident of the callow bird in the meadow--" Come,' said I, ' ye , , liave found each oth er a t l ast, settle it b etween you —is exquisitely said and conceived in the best and kind liest vein of Sterne. It reminds us of the poor ass munching the bitter stalk of the artichoke, of the pet dog of Maria, or of the imprisoned starling. The story of Vivian's childhood and youth is recounted by Sir Bulwer Lytton in his happiest style; and it is easy to recognise in it a creation kindred to that of Dalibard. It is nobly remarked by Pisistratus, in a burst of indignation at the conduct of Vivian towards Fanny_Trevanion, that "true love is as sublime as honour and as meek as is religion." Even feeling thus enthusiastically as to the master passion, Pisis tratus cannot but think as follows : " I know that in youth, and the superstition of first love, we are credulously inclined to believe that love, and .he possession of the beloved, are the only happiness But when my uncle folded me in his arms, and called me the hope of his age, and stay of his house—the music of my father's praise still ringing on my heart—l do affirm that I knew a greater and a prouder bliss than if Tre vanion had placed Fanny's hand in mine, and said— ' She is yours.'" One other exclamation we cannot but transcribe, it is uttered by Pisistratus when lamenting over the untoward tuition of his cousin, by the Gitana, when contrasted with his own fortunes in childhood : " 0 mother mine! that the boy had stood by thy knee, and heard from thy lips, why life was given us, in what life shall end, and how heaven stands open to us night and day! 0 father mine! that thou hadst been his pre ceptor, not in book-learning, but the heart's simple wis dom! Oh! that he had learned from thee, in parables closed with practice, the,happines o f se lf-sacrifice, and how ' good deeds should repair the bad!'" Those last words remind us of the first touch of genius which we recognised in "The Caxtons," that first incident which assured us that the contribution was from no unrenowned hand—the graceful and beautiful 'incident of the flower-pot and the box of dominoes. " Jonathan in Africa," being a satirical review of Dr. May's " Kaloolah," opens with a severe, but not undeserved, condemnation of the elo quent nonsense jumbled into the three volumes of " Mardi," by Mr. Herman Melville. " The Green Hand" being anything rather than what it pretends to be, viz., " a short yarn," has long since become to us unendurably tedious.

" The Insurrection in Baden" will be perused with curiosity, affording a succinct narrative of a movement which has been too generally overlooked in this country in consequence of the superior attractions of the events transpiring in Hungary. The next article is a fair criticism of " Lamartine's Revolution of 1848." After the extraordinary blunder made by Blackwood a few months since in swallowing as authentic the " Previsions of Orval "—prophecies since proved, by Louis, Bishop of Verdun, to be sheer humbug—we are surprised to find in the paper before us (page 227) an intimation that the late revolutions on the continent are to be re garded as " that general tendency to evil which is so clearly foretold in prophecy, and indications of the advent of those disastrous times which are to be closed by the second coming of the Messiah." As Renault exclaims, in Otway's Venice Preserved, " I like not these huggers ! " We cannot help exclaiming too, " I like not these prophets ! " Dies Boreales are growing more and more discursive. The little tifs between Buller and Christopher North are positively delightful. One minute the former is told, "Buller, you re a blockhead, " and the next, "Buller, you're a fellow of fine taste "—according as he has the temerity to ridicule, or to eulogise the remarks of King Christopher. Every additional chapter confirms us more and more in the opinion that Professor Wil son has studied with equal assiduity the volumes of erudition and the book of nature. John Oliver Hanson, Esq., is the gentleman re commended by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England to fill the vacancy occasioned by the decease of James Pattison, Esq. LEAMINGTON SPA, AUGUST 4.—The fashionable popularity of the town is satisfactorily attested by the following distinguished arrivals during the present week :—Earl of Beverley and Lady Louisa Percy, the Earl and Countess of Harrowby and Lady F. Sandon, the Princess Sherbikoff and suite, Hon. W. and Mrs. Gardner, Hon. Mr. Essex, Lady Robert and Hon. Miss Kerr, Very Rev. the Dean of Hereford, Sir J. Brymer, Sir Francis Shuckburgh, Bart., Sir Charles Burton, Bart., Sir Andrew and Lady Corbet, Admiral Sir Charles Ekins, &c. &c. The aristocratic meeting of the Zingari Cricketers, on Monday and Tuesday next, will, it is confidently expected, prove an all•attractive source of enjoyment to our visitors, whose numbers are daily increasing with unusual rapidity. A grand archery meeting on the demesne of a distinguished county family, resident in the immediate neighbourhood of the Spa, will divide public interest with the " wandering cricketers" on Tuesday. o Sunday Majesty, su hn E ed A da nyavt four Squadron,oa arrivedrfa mornings; snmEg o'clocks sa i c E t oNttwhre Cowes on t — Ni t o'clockosT Monday ' s h h dne e adyac,oys Observer, Sunday, Aug. 5, gave three folio columns of the Progress of the Royal vr which thepublication co e auatniro.rrniyvoafal,n cc eaon o dtmE ieniTidnooi morning. heut t f niuri er C enoes sodcoraal which k obyt cs , fTekno rhui where vmreehroeito,,x:cnplcbdauo h eeanenb e sykd. r .t the Obser v er was aabnronaorui fo afternoons.

On the 10th o: December last, the Observer completed its 50th anhivers.ary (half a century), during which long period the Observer has maintained the highest character for early and exclusive foreign and domestic news, to obtain which no expense whwever was spared. The same two gentleinen who have so successfully conducted the Observer for the past thirty-five yews still continue at the helm. The is ablishment of the Observer alone engages the services (besides the editors) of ten talented reporters, upwards of twenty correspondents, thirty com positors, two engineers, ten machine hands, and about thirty other persons in minor capacities, thus giving engagements to more than 100 persons, at an outlay of about 300/. per week, independent_of excise on the paper, advertisement duty, and stamps. Every effort will be made to render the Observer the most complete family journal published, equally acceptable to the gentleman and the scholar. The in eekly record of about 300 Bi rt h s, Marriages, and Deaths, with their respective dates, will be continued; also the column of advertisements (under the head of "Public Amusements") of theatres, exhibi tions, concerts, &c. Gratuitous supplements will also occasionally be published. There is scarcely a club house, institution, library, or news-room in England, Scotland, and Ireland, or on the Continent, or in the East ani West Indies, in which the Observer is not taken in, and frequently duplicate copies. The extensive pub. li , ation of the Observer commences at four o'clock on Sunday mornings.

At three o'clock the various professors entered the hall and took their seats at the table.

Prizes having been also awarded for fencing and gym nastics, the Head Master announced that vacation would commence that day, and terminate on Tuesday, 25th September. Mr. Justice TALFOURD then rose, amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits, to address the assembly. He said that it was an old maxim that there was no good in this world without some alloy, and he found him self at that time no exception to the general rule. It had been to him a source of unaffected gratification to have been selected to be the medium for presenting so many symbols of merit Ishich had evoked such feelings of delight, not only from the young hearts of those who were entitled to them, but also to the hearts of those who felt the interest of love, friendship, or relationship with the successful competi tors; but it was some alloy to the satisfaction ho other wise should have experienced to be called upon to give expression to feelings to which he was sensible he could not do adequate justice. No one could have witnessed the distribution of prizes that day, from the first prize man in Greek to the last victor in fencing, who must not have been persuaded that abundant attestation had been given of the skill and erudition of the preceptors, and of the diligence and good conduct of the pupils. It was impossible to be a spectator of the gratifying scene which had just terminated without being convinced that the London University College was an institution where the greatest possible attention had been paid by the masters, with the happiest possible results on the minds of the students. To the pupils who now lis tened to him, and to the brilliant company who were then assembled, the near and dear relatives of those pupils, it was unnecessary that he should say anything in commendation of such an institution; but, in addre,s ing others, who were not, perhaps, so well acquainted with its merits, he might be permitted to observe that the advantages of such an establishment were great and nu merous. The boy who was educated at that school had not to undergo the hard condition of being separated from the paternal roof. The great—the inconceivably great—advantages which belong to a public school, as affording opportunities of emulation and competition, might be enjoyed by the boys who were educated in that establishment, at the same time that they were not deprived of a father's unceasing vigilance, and a mother's tender solicitude. Of all earthly blessings, he thought the last the most valuable to the youthful mind, for he entirely concurred with Coleridge, in the sentiment that— "A mother is a mother still, The loveliest thing alive Those who were educated in that admirable institution enjoyed the inestimable advantage of maternal care at home, and of the most enlarged and liberal education abroad. In estimating the true value and interest of the scene of that day, particular regard should be paid to this fact, that boys were not permitted to remain in the school after the age of sixteen. At that age they passed into another branch of the establishment—a different system of discipline—that happy period which intervened be tween mere boyhood and the cares, turmoils, and anx ieties of adult life. He merely mentioned thia to show that it would be scarcely fair to compare what had been done in that school with the scholastic achievements ac complished in other institutions, where the pupils were allowed to remain until they had attained the age of eighteen or nineteen. And yet it was, per. haps, unnecessary that he should have claimed any indulgence on account of the restriction as to age in that institution, for young though all its mem bers were, he found that the higher classes of them wer engaged in the study of the Greek tragedians, and in the most abstruse branches of the mathematics.— (Applause.) In the examination for matriculation at the London University the success which had attended the students was very remarkable; and amongst the former students who had most honourably distinguished themselves he had much pleasure iu making honourable mention of the names of Messrs. H. 11. Smith and 1.1. Hicks. Of the boys who had distinguished the mse l ves that day, and to wh om h e b ad had the happiness of awarding priws, there were four to whose names he might be permitted to make a passing allusion, because of the peculiar interest with which parental associa tions surrounded them. It was impossible to witness the opening career of the boys who bore the names of Martineau, Roscoe, Romilly, and Hood—names which were watchwords to our feelings, and which called up thoughts as dear as the memories of home, without experiencing an emotion of delight at observing- that those who now possessed those names were resolved to uphold their ancestral honour, and to shed new lustre on families already ennobled in the records of national an d literary greatness.—(Applause.) lie confessed that his own emotions of joy at the success of Hood were such as he found it difficult to expre.s ; for he could not forget that that gifted boy was the son of that accomplished author whose genius was of that happy character that he could With equal ease move to laughter or melt to tears ; and that, more perhaps than any modern author, he possessed the power of arousing the sympathies of the rich and great on behalf of the poor and humble, without inducing that dissatisfaction which it was such a wickedness to create in the breasts of the lowly against their more favoured brethren.—(Applause.) He had witnessed in the proceedings of that day many things which were calculated to excite in his heart the most cordial emotions of gratification, but he con fessed that nothing which he had witnessed had caused him greater delight than to observe the generous and high-minded manner in which the announcement of the names of the various competitors had been received even by those of the pupils who had not been fortunate enough to carry away prizes themselves. It had been said that— " Envy doth merit like its shade pursue, And like the shade it proves the substance true." But to that sentiment he was not prepared to give an unqualified assent. It might be true if its application were limited merely to the narrow-minded and dis ingenuous; but certain_he was that e nv y was th e very last passion that was likely to take up its abode in an honest heart, or an educated mind.—(Loud ap• plause.) Important though it was to educate the hu man mind, it, was infiuitely more so to educate the human heart. His young friends, when they studied the Greek and Roman classics, would bear in mind that the object they should propose to themselves was not so much the acquisition of a language, now spoken No more, as the training of the mind to an aptitude of thought, and to the appreciation of the most deli cate shade of moral beauty. It was for this that they should seek to become acquainted with those early glories of the antique world, which looked more like a vision disclosed through the parting clouds of time than anything which actually appertained to the practical history of wars, and the changes of dynasties. So, too, in the study of mathematics, they should apply them selves not only to lines, curves, and circles, but to the acquisition of a habit of thought which might enable them to apply severity of reasoning to the noblest pur suit in which the human mind could be engaged—the pursuit of truth.—(Applause.) And the same rule might be applied with equal advantage to the study of Hebrew—the object of th e student being not simply to disinter from the gra ve of years tin immemorial language, but rather to become familiar with th e thoughts of those who wrote in that langua ge , and to become acquainted with the noblest literature in the world—our own alone .excepted. They should Os° rettwalber, that ag evor ) , mini, h,bwov,r U. lalllo, v cfr viduabie—wure „any inter. sung —in so rir us they wire indicative of man's immortality, and qualified him for that imperishable existence chick awaited Lim beyond the grave.—(Applause.) The cul tivation of powers here was only the cultivation of powars which, i❑ a happier sphere, would nevtr die. 'rho Learned Judge concluded, amid loud and enthu siastic applause, by congratulating the pupils on their vacution, and exhorting them to surrender themselves without restraint to the genial influence of the festive hour. A vote of thanks was unanimcuily awarded to the Lcazned President, and the meeting. terminated. SPORTING MUTES. No. VI. GOODWOOD REIIINISCENSES, DERBY, BRIGHTON, AND WOLVERHAMPTON ANTICIPATIONS. " I will myselven with you ride, Bight at mine own cost, and be your Guide." CHAUCER. SlR,—That pleasurable " shoal of time," the Goodwood Meeting, has passed off with great éclat, thanks to the weather and to the indefatigable exertions of Lord Georg e Ben tinck's successor—Lord H. G. Len nox, who bids fair, in the long run, to equal his predecessor in his palmiest days. Tadmor, of course, won the Gratwicke Stakes in the easiest manner imaginable, at the • time being " rather off," beating Herbert (2d), and Sidney (3d); Brlus, Vanguard, and Rochester " stalled off." This perform ance shows the quality of the but once and accidentally vanquished son of lon and Palmyra, who is, in my opinion, quite good enough to beat the Flying Dutch man upon equal terms, the race for this year's Derby to my mind being a nullity. Should they ever meet again the Dutchman strikes his flag, or "I'll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I'll drown my book." The Goodwood Stable were in immense force through out the week, winning the Lavant and Molecomb with William the Conqueror, a genuine Derby nag ; the Bunney, and Settringtou Stakes with Officious, a real flyer; the Drawing-room Stakes with Borneo, Uriel being lame; a 200;sovs. stakes with Ghillie Callum, who in consequence was made first favourite for the Derby, but notwithstanding will not be first in the race; and the Sussex Stakes, with Com pass; besides four matches, and two or three minor sweepstakes—pretty luck for one week. For the 300 soya. Stakes Glen Suldel, the only sound horse in the race, beat my fancy Loadstone, who came to the post in as ricketty a condition as it was possible to be, at once shutting out all hope. Col. Peel's llardinge won the Ham Stakes cleverly enough, is a good strong horse, and with the Epirus colt will be heard of in the ring throughout the winter. Wanota, my choice for" The Stakes," found the course half a mile too long for him. As I anticipated, there was nothing to touch Cancun in the race for the cup. Chanticleer's running was moat extraordinary. The straw-coloured jacket was once again in the ascen dant on the back of Honeycomb, who won without an effort from a trashy trio—Champion, Solon, and Ploughboy. This Honey com b must not be despised for his races at York and Doncaster: it strikes me very forcibly he will give the Dutchman his work to do in the St. Leger race. There are two days' sport at Derby on Tuesday and Wednesday, including a stake or two of some little im portance. The Tradesmen's Plate has Revolt, 7st 61b—Mrs. Taft, 7st lib—Little Mary, 6st 81b—St. Antonio, Gst 41b—Van Diemen, sst 121 b—and Sir Henry Hardinge, sst 81b, including 41b extra, among the entries, my pen chant leaning toward the last named. The Foal Stakes are destined for Robert de Brut, Drakelow, or Langton. Lord Chesterfield's Mrs. Taft and Chicot look remark ably " will in " for the Chatsworth Stakes, and his Lampoon filly will not be far from the mark for the Chesterfield Stakes, although opposed by the Muff filly, Sicyon, and Cadger. This quartet will secure the three first places, the Muff for choice. At Brighton, the Goodwood stable will secure the Pavilion and Two yrs old Stakes, and might, perchance, the Brighton Stakes with Hornpipe, although in pre ference I should trust St. Antonio, 7st. 1216; the Nsutch Girl, sst, 131 b. ; cr Dark Lady, sst. nib. The light weights for choice. At Wolverhampton, on Monday next, Sir Henry Hardinge, or Christiana, will make the Produce Stakes !safe for the owner of one or other. The Wolverhampton Stakes, Mr. Meiklam ought to secure with Snowstorm, the Model, Little Mary, and Dough close up. Van Diemen's running for either this stake, or the Trades men's Plate, at Derby, I consider very doubtful; if he does go he must be cautiously dealt with. The Chillington Stakes to Harriott.

Letters received in town this merning state that the various markets held in the provinces, on Saturday, were heavy for all kinds of Wheat, at drooping prices. The cutting of Wheat and Barley has been pretty gene rally commenced is most of our forward districts, under favourable auspices. Advices from New York are to the c ffcct that a good business was doing in Grain and Flour on English account, at very full prices. Tha Continental markets have ruled firm, notwithstanding that the blockade of the Baltic is expected to be taken off on the 10th inst. The arrivals of English Grai❑ for our market last week, coastwise, was very small, but the imports from abroad were liberal, viz. -16,040 quarters of Wheat, 11,024 ditto of Barley, 45,152 ditto of Oats, 2,611 ditto of Rye, 599 ditto of Beans. 1,458 ditto of Peas, 1,172 ditto of Tares, 8,415 ditto of Linseed, 5 ditto of Rapeseed, 1,011 ditto of sundry seeds, 2,988 sacks and 650 barrels of Flour, The favourable accounts received from most parts of the country respecting the appearance of the growing crops, the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and the continued arrivals from abroad, had considerable influ ence upon the trade here today. The fresh supply of English Wheat on show was limited. Still, however, the demand for all descriptions was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of FvUR smamercs per quarter. At that amount of depres sion the millers purchased with extreme caution, and a total clearance of the stands was not effected. No new Wheat was offering, but samples are ex pected this week. The quantity of foreign Wheat was somewhat extensive. For all kinds the demand was unusually heavy, at 2s to 3s per quarter beneath last week's currencies. Floating cargoes were wholly neglected. Since the returns were made up on Saturday, rather a large fleet of grain vessels bas arrived from various quarters. No English Barley was on the market ; but the supply of Foreign was good. The sale for grinding samples was not so active as on Monday last ; nevertheless, that day's prices were mostly sup ported. In making and distilling sorts, next to nothing doing, at barely late rates. The market was somewhat heavily supplied with malt. Where sales took place, prices ruled a shade lower than last advised. With home grown Oats we were very scantily sup plied ; but the show of Foreign samples was very large. For all kinds, the demand was very heavy, and the out. of condition sorts were a shade lower. We had a few new grey Peas on sale. They were taken at 31s to 33s per quarter. In old samples next to nothing doing. All kinds of Beans moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Indian corn and meal were offering on lower terms. Sack Flour might have been purchased at a reduction of 2s per 2801bs. Barrel qualities were quite Is cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Notwithstanding that there has been a considerable increase in the arrivals of foreign stock into London during the past week, they have been on a very mode rate scale, the time of year considered, the total importa tion having amounted to 5,988 head, against 7,415 at the corresponding period in 1847, and 6,703 head at the same time in 1848.

At Southampton, 10 Oxen have come to hand from Spain. The arrivals of stock direct from Ireland by sea for this market have been confined to 20 Oxen. From our various grazing districts the Bullock supplies fresh up this morning were somewhat less than those received on this day se'nnight, yet they proved seasonably extensive, and of full average quality. As the dead markets were scantily supplied, and the attend ance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade was steady, and in some instances the quotations ruled 2d per Blbs higher than on Friday—a fair clearance being effected at prices fully equal to those obtained on Mon day last. A few very superior Scots produced 4s, but the general top figure for Beef was 3s 10d per 81bs. The supply of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, amounted to 700 Scots, Shorthorns and Ilomebreds; from the northern counties, 1,000 Short horns; from the Western and Midland districts, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 Horned and Pulled Scots.

COUR l' CIRCULAR. MEETING AT CARDIFF IN BE HALF OF HUNG ARY. A highly respectable and numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Cardiff was held at the town hall, on Friday, in behalf of this deeply-wronged people, C. Vaehell in the chair, and the following rcsolutions passed unanimously, and with great enthusiasm:- 1. " That in the opinion of this meeting the struggle of the Hungarian people to maintain their independence, and to vindicate their personal and constitutional fiber tes, entitles them to receive the warm sympathies of all classes of the people of England and Wales. 2. " That this meeting earnestly calls upon the British Government to recognise the independence of the Hun garian nation, and to negotiate a commercial treaty with that country, that the moral and peaceful support of this great empire may be given to a noble people who are vindicating not only their own freedom. but the interests of civilization and liberty against the Camarilla of Aus tria and the barbarians of Russia. 3. " That the foregoing resolutions, together with any subscriptions that may be obtained, be forwarded to the friends of Hungary in London; now acting on their behalf. " On behalf of the meeting, C. lEELL , Chairman." The meeting, b e i ng too largeVAC to be accommodated within the wall', was adjourned to the front of the building. Mr. HENRY VINCENT, being present, address(d the audience with one of his soul-stirring apreals. The effect was electrical, and every hand was held up for the sacred cause. The subscription, when complete, is to be forwarded to The Sun office, London. It is computed there were upwards of two thousand persons present. THE CHOLERA. RETURN OF CASES, Attu 4.

Milnes, &c. . _ If there be foundation for a rumour which yester day afforded subject -matter of gossip at several of the clubs, a recent marriage between a young military gen tleman of large fortune and a lady who has distinguished herself in many ways, of Hiberneo-Spanish extraction, and now bearing a title conferred upon her by a cartain German monarch, is likely to place the lady in a situa tion of still further notoriety. The relatives of the young military Benedict, who are said to be much incensed at the alliance, have, it is rumoure d, received information that the lady was previously married in India, that her first husband is yet alive, that they have been separated for three or four years, but that no legal proceedings have taken place to annul the marriage, so as to leave either party at liberty to marry again. According to the current on dit a legal investigation is contemplated, and a warrant for the fair one's capture has actually , issued from the bureau of a west-end chef de police. In deed, there were some who confidently expected that she would have been made amenable yesterday, but they overlooked the fact that the happy couple repaired to Ireland some days since, for the two-fold purpose of passing the honeymoon and enjoying the festivities at tendant on the royal visit to that country.— Weekly Chronicle.

Bd. allowance to the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company for working expenses, the balance, 56,5514 los. iid., is the sum due to the Canal Company.

LIE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.—Every one will be concerned to hear that a dispatch has arrived at the Ad natralty from Sir John Richardson, without any news of Sir John Franklin. The expedition had traversed the coast from the Mackenzie and Coppermine river; but the Esquimaux all declared that no white men had made h appearance. and prevented U nfe t t ei strong,their beyond Icy Cove, to the north of Cape Kendal, just as it was on the point of exploring a most interesting. region. Unfortunately na expeditionte l y th e icefr from sec m i n p roceedi n unusually proceeding Thus, for the present, all hope is cut off of discovering the lost voyagers. Our only consolation is in the gain to science, for the search for Cap'. Franklin has brougheto light many interesting facts res pecting the inhospitable regions of Arctic Ame rica. Fictitious representations of what is praiseworthy are useful for preparing the mind of man to act in real life. Yet fiction itself has boundaries, which seund and sober sense has a right to prescribe, but which the acute ness of feeling, and the vigour of fancy in men of genius, are apt to overleap.--Eliza Cook's Journal.
