- r two great classes of society, the two classes cor- , responding with the two Chambers of the Legislature. This is surely not the most fitting season to evoke discordance between the Lords and the Commons. When thrones have crumbled to dust ; and whole c-istocracies have been dissipated by the whirlwinds of revolution ; and democracy has caused its gigantic strength to be felt from the northern shores of the Baltic to the southern beach of the Mediterranean, from the Vistula to the Garonne—when the stub bornness of Peers has suddenly changed Monar chies into Republics, and substituted for dynasties dating back beyond the age of the . Carlovingians the leaders of a people consolidated into a Pro visional Government, it would clearly be nothing less than an exhibition of lunacy for the Upper House of the British Parliament to place themselves in an atti tude of antagonism with the masses of the population. And to do this, moreover, in reference to the holiest principles, the fundamental principles of the Con stitution ! For a long while the conviction has forced itself upon our consideration, that, glorious as the demon stration of the 10:h of April, 1848, unques- tionably was, as indicative of the stern and unani mous resolve of the English people to strangle political fanaticism, and to proclaim to the whole world their allegiance to the double cause of Peace and Order—its meaning has been either mis understood or distorted to suit the feelings of the Ultra-Conservative aristocracy. That man must be either blind or mad who can look back upon that day as upon an occasion when the people of Great Britain pledged themselves to become the slaves of an oligarchy. The 10th of April was the jubilee of Order, not of Aristocracy. It was expressive of the popular determination to conserve rather than to destroy. Yet the conservation for which the community then pronounced itself with one voice was strictly a discriminative conservation, the conservation of what was good accompanied by the expurgation of what was bad or indifferent in the Constitution. If the Peers were to delude them selves into a contrary opinion, and were to continue to act accordingly , t he y would in the end discover to their cost the error of their judgment, they would rue the day on which they came to such an erroneous and destructive decision. But that we look upon the matter of the Jewish Disabilities as one already re moved from the reach of their jurisdiction, we should commend the bigotted majority of the Lords to weigh well their proceedings in its regard before they presume to hazard another step in opposition to the will of the community. As it is we cannot think that the Commons of England will any longer con sent to bow before the insolent fanaticism of the here ditary branch of the Legislature simply from a servile obedience to the routine of Parliamentary etiquette. The course adopted in reference to the admission of Mr. PEASE to the Chamber of Representatives may surely, in an emergency like the present, be adopted to effect the legal admission of Baron Itoniscuitn. The rule established to suit the convenience of the Quaker may be imitated to satisfy the conscience of a Jew. If an oath may be altogether dispensed with to afford room for the entrance of one of th-.; Society of Friends, an oath may surely be modified to enable the Hebrew to find his way to the benches of the Commons. What has baen done with so much ease for the followers of Fox may be effected without difficulty for the fol lowers of Mons. A hint to the House of Commons is enough! Now—a hint to the House of Lords ! A hint to those Right Honourable and Right Reverend Sena tors who appear to be tripping forward so very unconsciously and hilariously towards the brink of a precipice ! A hint just to save them from the immi nent dangers of their position, to open their eyes and enable them to turn back before they go blindly dancing over the edge ! Let them beware lest in the midst of their interference with the prerogatives of the House of Commons of England, the latter should retaliate upon them by refusing to grant the Supplies ! Ilow foolish the Bench of Bishops would look in such a predicament I What a sorry figure the whole of the Peers would cut in such an event ! And such an event is always possible, for (let it not be forgotten) the purse of the nation is in the hands of the House of Commons While the lovers of Civil and Religious Liberty are exulting in the magnificent majority by which the Baron LIoNEL DE ROTHSCIIILD has been elected the representative of the first city in the world, we wonder very much what the sensations of the Country Party are under the circumstances I They must feel themselves rather small by the way—so small that we should estimate them microscopically. At any rate, this we must say of them —they played for a high game—and, and, and (a mere secondary consideration) lost it i They were to have followed up their recently daring tactics, their displays in Drury-lane Theatre and on the loftier stage of the Parliament, by carrying the City of London by storm—by blowing the tantarrara of victory in the heart of the empire—by inducing the capital to choose as its Member a Protectionist. They have done all—but succeed ! And if the num bers polled by the Jewish candidate in 1849 be less by 173 than those polled by him in 1847, the votes obtained for the Protectionists in 1849 are less by 1,600 than those obtained for them in 1847. Everything, indeed, combines to render the victory of yesterday's election complete and decisive. Everything attests that the capital of Eng land is now permanently at the head of this as it has been of so many other great political movements. Everything proclaims that the Electors of London have destroyed the last vestige of religious intolerance and civil tyranny ; and that they have at length se cured for England in fact, as well as in word, Civil and Religious Liberty. Were it not for the ulterior objects contemplated by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire —were it not that his motion was intended " seriously to damage, if not effectually to destroy, the Ministry," and to bring into power a party desirous of imposing fresh restrictions on trade and commerce, and of taxing the "many" fur the benefit of the privileged few—we would indeed rejoice to witness the appoint ment of a Committee " to take into consideration the state of the nation." The Hon. Gentleman did not by any means exaggerate the distress and difficulties endured by the industrious classes through out the entire country. Ably and eloquently he de picted the sufferings of the people, and his tale was unfortunately " ower true." He exhibited but too caithful a picture of the fearful depreciation of every description of property, and of the contraction of in dustrial pursuits, and the strictest and most searching investigation should unquestionably be in stituted into the causes that have produced or contributed to produce such lamentable results. But the Honourable Gentleman is grievously mistaken as to the nature of these causes. He has, perhaps, succeeded in showing that the acknowledged evils are not ascribable to " continental convulsion, or railway investment, or commercial speculation,'' or even " to the Irish famine ;" neither are they to be ascribed to the "new commercial system," and the abolition of protective imposts, of which he so loudly complained. It is owing to the adoption and establishment of that " new system" that the nation has been enabled to weather the storm, 'and to en counter successfully the difficulties by which it has been surrounded. These difficulties would have been fearfully aggravated, perhaps rendered insurmount able, if prohibitory tariffs had been retained, if the corn-laws flourished, and the " sliding scale" had been maintained in full operation. It is not because the principles of free trade have been partially recognised that the nation has suffered, but because they have not been fully and completely car ried out; because " free trade in money" has not been conceded; because a system of indirect taxation still It is imposes true un th du at e rtehsetsreicdtiuotniess are onounrow levied foreigncorormeprucre: poses of revenue, and not of protection ; the effect is, however, still the same, and but too painfully per ceptible. Our trade 'with China is still con tracted from the high amount of the tea duties, al though the object of these duties may not be to sti- mulate the consumption of other beverages of home production. " The rose by any other name will smell as sweet;" and the effect of indirect taxation will remain the same, although the purposes for which it may be im posed are altogether different. The nation has passed through a crisis of no ordi nary character. We have witnessed a monetary panic s during which there was a total prostration of credit, under which houses of undoubted sol vency, and which had previously maintained commercial reputations, were compelled to suspend payments. We have seen the value of money most unduly and exorbitantly appreciated ; the most rigid application of the screw, money being doled out in scanty quantities, and at three times the rate of interest at which it could easily be obtained. This rate of interest on capital is unquestionably one of the first charges on production. It is an element that must enter deeply into the calculation of every manufacturer, as well the manufacturer of corn as the manufacturer of cotton. It is a tax on industry, which, when unduly increased, completely. paralyses the efforts of the producers of national wealth Under the blighting influence of eight or ten per cent, discount, there is a total cessation of industrial occu pation. Employment can no longer be obtained on almost any terms. Who will devote his time to busi ness on the chance of obtaining six or seven per cent profit on the amount of capital invested, when he can easily receive larger returns without risk or trouble ? Who will build houses, manufac ture cottons, cultivate farms, or in fact enter into any speculation where the entire profits will be more than absorbed by the capitalist behind the scenes, who supplies the necessary funds for the undertaking ? The Honourable Gentleman truly stated that " the best test of national prosperity is the employment of the great mass of the working population at a fair rate of profitable wages." What, then, has directly interfered with that employment ? That is the great problem to be solved, and its solution must not be sought for in the " new commercial system " recently esta bliihed, but in the stringent regulations contained in the fatal Act of 1844. If those regulations did not alone produce the panic, they materially ag3-ravated its in tensity. They led to the minimum rate of discount of 8 per cent.,insisted on by the Government, when owing to the almost bankrupt condition of the country they tardily and reluctantly consented to the virtual suspension of that iniquitous code. Not witstanding the conditions annexed to that boon, which in some degree lessened its advantages, the effect was almost instantaneous. An immediate improvement took place, although a considerable time should necessarily elapse before the nation could entirely recover from the consequences of the great legislative error of 1844. We trust that these causes will be clearly and accu rately pointed out during the adjourned debate. Mr: DISR tELI'S motion cannot be acceded to in its present form, and with its avowed object, but one of the first acts of the House in the very commencement of the next session should be to institute a searching in quiry into the state and condition of the nation, with a view to the adoption of remedial measures, and the removal of the causes that have produced the evils so justly complained of. A glance at our miscellaneous columns will show that our appeal was not ineffectually made, yesterday evening, for aid to those brave Hungarian Hussars who are, at present, penniless sojourners on the shores of England. Pecuniary contributions to the Testimonial proposed by ourselves have (as will be observed) been already transmitted to us and duly received. In addition to these and other communica tions upon the same subject, one of our Correspon dents makes inquiry as to which spot may be regarded as the repository of such subscriptions? Having ourselves suggested the Testimonial, we are willing, we are not only willing, we shall be re joiced to become the medium for the transmission of any sums that may be forwarded to us in trust for the Hungarian Hussars encamped near Folkstone— sums which will express at once the hospitality of , England and the cordial sympathy of the English people in the great and glorious cause of Hungarian freedom ! To all those who have secretly sympathised in that sublime cause from the day when BEM first drew his sword from its scabbard, and when KOSSUTH first raised his prophetic voice to predict the liberation of the 11lagyars—to all those who have exulted in the suc cessive victories achieved over the Imperialists, and who have repined at the apparent apathy with which . England has throughout remained a mere spectator of the struggle—we here repeat our earnest appeal in behalf of the heroic fugitives from German servi tude to Hungarian liberty. Let words and thoughts now reveal themselves in deeds, to enable this band of patriots to reach the country now sorely in need of the arms of her valiant children. Any contribution to the Hungarian Testimonial will reach its destination if transmitted to The Sun Office, under cover to " The Editor." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the Legislative Assembly leave of absence was granted to General BEDEAU, to fulfil a temporary mission entrusted to him by the Minister of War. The Constitutionnel, in announcing the departure of General BEDEAU for Rome, says that " the object of his mission is to observe the state of affairs, and, in case of necessity, to take the chief command of the French forces." At the conclusion of the sitting of the Legislative Assembly the following discussion took place on the subject of the bombardment of Rome : The President—M. Versigny wishes to address an in terpellation t• the Government.—(Oh, oh.) M. Versigny said, that according to the last news from Rome, a considerable breach had been made in the walls, and a battery had been established on that breach. It was said that this battery having been destroyed by the Romans, General Oudinot had resolved to have re course to extreme means, such as were no longer the habits of civilized nations ; namely, to bombard the city and burn it.—(oh,oh—strong marks of incredulity.) He wished much to learn from the Government that such was not the intention of the General, and that it would not authorise him to aim at the horrible celebrity of the King of Naples.—(Loud marks of disapprobation.) The President of the Council—lt is impossible that the Government can thus allow itself to be dragged to the tribune to reply to every fact that may be brought forward. The Government has published all the dIS patches which it has received; the dispatches of the Ge neral have alwars been published immediately on their arrival. It has been asked what we shall do against Rome—what means we shall employ, and whether we shall imitate the example of such and such a sovereign. —(Murmers on the Left.) We think that the conduct of the Government is a sufficient answer to that question, and that the consideration which it has shown towards the foreigners who rule over and oppress Rome— (Loud exclamations on the Left)—safficiently proved our inten t tion in that respect. M. Larange said—ls it possible, then, that the Go vernment can say that it has no reply to give when it is told that Rome—that the Eternal City is about to be burnt? Do the laurels of Attila prevent the Ministry from sleeping?—(.llurmers and laughter.) The Govern ment has directed a brave French army on Rome; by its criminal orders it has violated the constitution 1 (" Bravo! bravo!" from the Left, and loud exclamations from the Right, and cries of " Order! order!") All Europe is now asking itself whether Rome will be bom barded or not? Let the Government then state what it intends to do—the honour of the country demands that an answer should be given. The President—A Minister has already replied to the interpellation. As no other member demands to speak, the incident is terminated. The Moniteur publishes a dispatch from General OUDINOT, dated Santucci, the 26th ult., g i v i ng an account of the siege operations up to that date. Two pieces of the enemy's artillery, stationed on the heights of St. Alexis, were silenced by the battery No. 2. On the 24th and 25th the occupation of the bastions was extended and consolidated. It was to be further extended to the right, so as to cut off the communication of the Porta Portese with the Mon tario. On the night of the 24th and the day of the 25th the working at the batteries continued, and the mortars maintained their fire on bastion No. 8. A breach was beginning to be made on bastion No. 9. The loss during those two days was about 30 men hors de combat, of whom two were killed. A letter from Toulon, dated the 29th ult., an.. nounces the arrival there of a steam-boat from Civita Vecchia, with 180 sick and wounded soldiers from the camp of General OUDINOT. The excessive heat was beginning to be severely felt at Rome, and the number of sick was increasing. It was said that General OUDINOT had resolved to adopt the most energetic measures to bring the affair to a conclusion. The 17th and 50th Regiments of Infantry had been landed at Civita Vecchia on the 25th. The effective force before Rome was calculated at 30,000 men. The Asmodee sailed from Toulon for Civita Vecchia on the 28th, having in tow a Government tender laden with mortars, howitzers, shells, gunpowder, and cartridges. The Monitor publishes a protest presented by the foreign consular agents at Rome to General OUDINOT, together with General OUDINOT reply, and the letter of M. DE COURCELLES transmitting the docu ment to the Government. The following is the protest of the consuls : "Rome, June 24, Seven o'clock in the Evening.

The fact that, in defiance of a very recent decision of the Upper House of Parliament, the citizens of the metropolis of England have chosen one of the most distinguished Jews in the United Kingdom asj their representative must be sufficient of itself to prove to our hereditary legislators that no effort on their part col baulk the wishes of the com munity in this particular. Occurring, moreover, as the re-election of ROTHSCHILD does, at a period when the whole EurOpean Continent is convulsed with the deadly strife between classes-3 strire originating, in the first instance, in the disinclination of the nobles to yield to the rational demands of the population—it requires no adventitious assurance to impress upon the minds of the aristocrats the peril as well as futility of any obstinate persistance in their determination.

General LAMORICIERE has been appointed Minister to the Court of Russia. On Monday the Assembly was almost wholly en gaged in balloting for President and Vice• Presidents. At a late hour it was known that M. Dupin had been re-elected for three months, according to the new ar rangements. It was rumoured on Monday in Paris that on the preceding evening General Bedeau had started for Rome to supersede Oudinot. On taking the command in chief of the army, it was said that his first mission is to endeavour to enter into negotiation with the Triumvirate in order to bring about a pacific arrangement. Should he not be suc -1 cessful, an army of 50,000 men will be placed at his 1 disposal. Fresh troops and a supply of ammunition t are preparing for shipment at Toulon. General Changarnier, it is said, was desirous to be sent to I Rome; but it was considered that his services at Paris could not be dispensed with. Troops were marching towards the German fron -1 tiers to strengthen the garrisons. Letters from Paris assert as a fact the departure of Bedeau to Rome, for the purpose of superseding Oudinot. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. KIEL, JUNE 26.—A Russian frigate, besides the Skiold, is at this moment cruising at the mouth of our harbour. Yesterday a Norwegian brig and a schooner appeared there. The offer was first made by the President of the Republic to General Lamoriciere, but was at once declined; and the determination to replace Oudinot by some other Commander-in-Chief appears to have arisen from the discontent felt at the delay encoun tered by the French in operations. It is stated on excellent authority that General Bedeau has received the fullest powers to terminate the Roman affair by force or negotiation. A most flattering address has been presented to the President of the Republic by the Council-General of the Seine, complimenting him on the admirable mea sures adopted by his Government to suppress the in surrectionary movement of the lath of June. The inauguration of the railroad from Paris to Chartres is to take place on Thursday next. The President of the Republic, the Ministers, and a great number of public functionaries have expressed their intention of being present on the occasion. The Liberte says that the journey of the Duchess of Orleans to England confirmed everything it had announced some days ago respecting the family compact which is now being concluded at Claremont, under the auspices and by the order of the Emperor of Russia. "We affirm anew," it says, " that it is that influence has conducted to England the Duchess of Orleans and her two SOM." Captain Kleber has at last determined to appeal to a superior court. The particulars of the re• election of M. Dupin as President of the Legislative Assembly is as follows : M. Dupin obtained 349 votes out of 380 ; M. Michel de Bourges, 14; General Lamoriciere, 4; M. Ledru Rollin 1, &c. The four Vice-Presidents returned were :—Messrs. Daru, by 344 votes; Baroche, 336 ; Benoit, 319 ; and General Bedeau, 288. The six Secretaries were re elected. _ In consequence of the sudden departure of General Bedeau for Rome, there must be another election for the fourth Vice-President. Speculation appears to have completely ceased at the Bourse, and the stockbrokers are said to have refused several orders for time during the present un settled state of the French foreign relations.

SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES AT ROME. M. ODILON BARROT, yesterday afternoon, com municated to the Legislative Assembly the following TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. "On the 30th of June the Roman Constituent Assembly passed a decree in the following terms : " ' The Assembly ceases a defence, which has be- come impossible, and remains at its post. It charges the Triumvirate with the execution of the present decree. " 'At the same time the Commander-in-Chief of the Roman army demanded at seven o'clock a sus pension of hostilities, and announced the speedy arrival at the French head-quarters of a deputation of the Municipality of Rome.' " M. DE COURCELLES announces that this deputa tion had just arrived." The Five per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 86f. 40c.

The Gagern party of the German Parliament, which met at Gotha, has agreed— " 1. To promote, as far as in them lies, the adhesion of such states as have not already adhered to the pro , posed projects of the Berlin Conference. " 2. To take part in the approaching elections." The resolutions to this effect are signed by 130 out of the 150 Members who assembled at Gotha. BADEN. Accounts have been received from Carlsrhue to the 28th ult. MIEROSLAWSKI has retired to Rad stacit with 10,000 troops, and the Prussians were pre paring to attack the place. PRUSSIA. The state of siege will be raised at Berlin imme diately after the promulgation of the laws suppressing clubs, and regulating public meetings, and the press. There are, it is said, difficulties attending the con clusion of the Danish negotiation. The Russian Envoy, M. DE MYERSDORFF, has left Berlin for Warsaw, to report to the EMPEROR upon the state of affairs in Germany. HANOVER. The following document has been published respect ing the negotiations between Hanover and the Zo ll. verein " Although the directing Board of Co mmerce in Hanover has already rece i ve d f ron t h e Ministerial De partment whom it concerns the most tranquillizing as surances respecting the dreaded adhesion (to the Prus sian Zollverein), nevertheless if has been again inspired with apprehensions, both by what has appeared in the Official Prussian Gazette and Memoir (explanatory of the triple Alliance Constitution, similar to these set forth in the declaration of the Free-trade Union of Hamburgh, on the 18th of June). Consequently the undersigned directors did not scruple to communicate their apprehensions (lest Hanover should adhere to the Zullverein) to the Ministerial department whom it con cerns, from which tranquillising assurances have been received to the ()act that, under all circumstances, there could be no question whatever (durchaus keine rede) of the adhesion of Hanover to the present Prussian Zollve rein; for, although the 23d section of the project of a State constitution, deciding upon a common customs and commercial territory, has been agreed to, the grounds upon which a customs system is to be founded must first be mutually agreed upon (vereinbart); and, above all, this Government does not consider itself in any way bound to adhere to this agreement." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. GEORGEY has concentrated his forces at Raab, where he has published the following proclama tion : " As it is now manifest from the extensive military preparations that the enemy and his adherents are bent upon carrying the war into the heart of the country, to the imminent peril of the Hungarian Republic, and as this baneful conspiracy must be put an end to col* qui coute, I hereby ordain that the town of Raab, with its environs, be provisioned for the term of one year. A aerutiny will be set on foot after the lapse of eight days, and whoever is found unprovided with the requisite stores will be exiled. As it has further appeared ne• cessary, in the face of so much danger, to reconstruct the defences, in which not an hour is to be lost, I order the appointment of a commission of competent persons to act with the magistracy, whose duty it will be to levy a fortification tax, the proceeds of which will be appro priated to the support of the day labourers. (Signed) GEOTIGEY." (-4 Heed-quarters, Raab, June 23." • The corps of PASKBWITCU has arrived at Casehau. The Warsaw papers report the advance of General ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 27th ult., publishes intelligence from Civita Vecchia, on the faith of letters and verbal communications re ceived from the passengers on board the post-steamer arrived on the same day. On the 23d the French lost the bastions they had occupied, the breach, and the gate, in consequence of their being attacked by the Romans in front and on the flank. The attack in front was executed under the orders of General RosEnia. The attack on the flank was directed by GARIBALDI, and was made while the French were effecting their retreat. Other accounts state that the French first attempted to enter the city, where they found formidable barricades supported by a numerous and well-served artillery ; and that it was on their retreat from this attack they lust the above positions. The loss of the French is stated variously, but asserted on all hands to have been very severe. The result of this action is stated to be the discontinuance of offensive operations, and a suspension of hos tilities. A. communication from Marseilles, dated the 29th ultimo, gives the following :—The steam-frigate Montezuma, which entered Toulon harbour last night, brought us the following advices from Rome, writ ten by a French officer : 6 ' CivirA VECOIIA, JUNE 27.—We have made little or no progress for the last four days. During the 24th and 25th we worked night and day in erecting batteries on the breach, and we have now three ready to play. Our works are greatly impeded, owing to a continued and well directed fire from the batteries of the Romans ; indepennently of which we are greatly annoyed from one of their batteries on Mount Jeuiculu, which commands our works. " As far as wa are able to see into the town it i, bar ricaded in all directions, and well supported by artillery. "I must confess I am not se confident: today as I was in my last as to the result of our operations. Enter Rome we must—but we shall require many, many more troops—in:antry, cavalry, and artillery." AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHA➢SPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. - The United States mail steamer Hermann, Captain Crab tree, arrived off Cowes this morning with the Ameri can mails. She brings 68 passengers, 15 of whom are for this port ; after landing which she proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Hermann brings one day's later news from New York than brought by the Europa from Boston. The New York papers of the 20th ultimo are filled with intelligence and correspondence from Ca lifornia, brought by the Crescent City from Panama. These accounts represent the supply of gold to be almost inexhaustible ; the market price being 14- to 15 dollars per ounce. There was a complete glut of manufactured goods. The last telegraphic report from New Orleans mentioned that there was a fair prospect of the orevasse being effectually stopped ; the water in the inundated district having receded considerably. The cholera was disappearing from the Upper Mis sissippi, but had reappeared in the Osago. The last daily report from the city of New York exhi bited a total of forty-one cases and ten deaths. In the New York markets there had been little change. The reaction of a sudden and excessive rise in Stocks was still felt, and prices had again slightly declined. Exchange on London was quoted 81 to 8i pm., with limited sales. For cotton there was a good in quiry, and the sales amounted to 1,000 bales at full prices. The market was well supplied with flour, and prices were in favour of the buyer. Provisions firm. In freights no alteration. The America's news produced no alteration iu the quotations for produce. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Allow me to express the great pleasure I felt, in common with many others, on reading your admirable article on Hungary and the Hungarians in the last number of your paper. The frequenters of the coffee-room, the card of whose proprietor I enclose, are most anxious to act practically upon your suggestion, and raise a subscription on behalf of those noble but unfortunate men whose cause you so well advocate. I therefore, on the former's behalf, beg to ask whether any one has been appointed fur the purpose of receiving such subscriptions, or, if not, whether in the meantime you would consent to become the depository for the same. If you do not consider it too much trouble to receive the amount which may be subscribed, perhaps the inser tion of this letter and your answer in the columns of The Sun would be of some practical service in suggest ing to many the mode by which they could raise and convey their subscriptions in behalt of these brave pa triots, with whose cause so much honest and active sym pathy is felt. I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, HENRY FLETCHER. 2, North crescent, Bedford -square, 4th, July, 1849. P.S. I do not indulge in the luxury of a card, but I presume my address will be sufficient for all editorial purposes. (Our correspondent will find a reply to his question in our leading columns.—ED. Sun.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Oblige a reader of your paper by informing him, in your notice to correspondents, where he can for ward a few subscription s h e h as ra i se d i n a i d of the Hungarians, at Folkestone, to whose case you last evening drew the public attention. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD HILL. P.S. It is but small in amount, viz., lls. 61.; but this was raised among several that were present, on my drawing their attention to the article in The Sun. I trust to be able to get a little more yet, as every little helps to make a micklo. 5, atrnsbury-place, Islington, July 4, 1849.

As to the smallness of the amount, it needs anything but an apology, We would direct particular attention, upon this point, to the note sent by " A Labourer."—ED. Sun.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l read with great pleasure your generous and eloquent appeal in behalf of the gallant Hungarians. It is not much that I can contribute, but I will sub• scribe all I can for these noble fellows at Folkstone, and will try what I can do amongst my friends, for the case is extreme, and the cause holy. Will you, Sir, undertake to receive subscriptions? If so, I have faith to believe 3 our glorious call to English generosity will be promptly attended to. Wishing destruction to the Austrian and Russian hordes,—l remain, Sir, yonrs most respectfully, RANDOLPH OXLEY. Anniversary Day of Independence, July 4. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have taken the liberty of leaving at your office 2s. 6d. towards assisting the brave Hungarians, whose cause you so ably advocated yesterday. That the Bri tish public may quickly respond to that call is the sincere wish of, Sir. your obedient servant, London, July 3, 1849. W. D., a Labourer. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An article in the Allgemeine Zeilung, some few weeks since, containing a prcclamation of the Baden insurgents, identified (I fear too well) " Kossuth" with the "Red Republicans" of Germany. As, however, your article of to-night shows there are brave men of a noble people wanting bread, I enclose a sovereign for their support. Your obedient servant, University Club, July 2.

It is with deep regret that we thus announce the approaching departure from our shores of one whom wo would fain have kept amongst us, who has won " golden opinions" from all, no less by her piivate werth than by her transcendent talent, and who stands as the delineator of a certain line of characters, unapproached and unapproachable. She came among us a stranger, she now leaves hosts of friends and of admirers, who will no doubt gather to . - morrow night at the Lyceum to embrace the last op portunity of offering their tribute at the shrine of genius. The performances are for the benefit of Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from i,OOO to 7,000 bales, including 2,000 American on speculation. The transactions comprised 6,000 American at 3d. to 6d., and 200 Surats at 3id. to 4d. Prices of all kinds were extreme. 'The market closed firmly. Railway Shares were steady, and prices firm. In Mark-lane to day business is dull at previous rates, with larger arrivals. At Amsterdam the home Funds were rather better, but nothing particular was done in the Foreign Securi ties. The quotation of Austrian Bonds at Vienna on the 217th ult. was 85: The Austrian finance department, instead of paying in specie the amount of the coupuns drawn, offers a new stock, bearing five per cent. interest, in the propor tion of 250 for every 100 florins. The arrivals of shipping in London continue large, and within the last few days they include vessels from the Continent, the East and West Indies, and North and South America, with valuable cargoes of all kinds of produce. The favourable statement made yesterday at the London Dock meeting, and to which we exclusively referred, shows that there has been greater activity in foreign trade this year than last, and it would be idle to contend that vessels bring ing freight to this country will go back empty. It is contrary both to reason and experience to believe such assertions, however confidently made, and the B)ard of Trade returns to June 5, out this morning, will afford the best answer. The West India letters, delivered late yesterday afternoon. notice still ex►rEme tiullm ss in most branches of commerce, but upon the subject of the weather they are more cheerful, rain having fallen rather abundantly at Antigua, Barbadoes, and other places. A statement of the debt of Ireland made up by order of Parliament contains some interesting items. At the period of the union in 1801 the total was 26,841,2191., and up to 1816 there had been an increase of 80,538,9391. making in 1817 a total of Irish unredeemed debt amounting to 134,602,7691., though stock was cancelled whereby the sum was diminished to 130,561,0371. Since 1817, no separate account has been kept, but the unredeemed debt funded in Ireland on the sth January last was 41,499,2961., being a large appa rent increase since 1817, caused by the voluntary acts of the stockholders in transferring their stock from Beg land, and is totally distinct from additions created by loans raised for the public service. The loans of 8,000,0001. and 2,000,0001. raised in 1847 and 1848, although virtually for the service of Ireland, do nut appear in the public accounts under that head. The gross revenue of Ireland in 1817 was 4,384,816/., and subsequently decreased, being as low as 3,199,128/. in 1823. I❑ 1848 it amounted to 4,327.5651. Tne expen daure of Ireland wis in 1817, 11,317,6611., leaving the amount of 6,932,8451. to be provided by the British Ex chequer, which in 1847 had to furnish 9,380,6281., to make up the respective deficiency in the revenue of Ire land, compared with its expenditure.

Gentlemen, we have gained a great victory' (Hear, and loud cheers)—and Ido not wish to expres so much my great satisfaction at the majority, as I do 0 the sentiments and at the spirit which were prevailing' yesterday among the electors, and among the friends' ) the cause. Our majority, brother electors, consists, es' the votes which were given in my favour were vote! given by our political friends, who came forward t: 11 this occasion as they always do, and by a great many °' our political opponents.

Their 1 )0. litical opinions are not changed ; they do e e '' come forward to support a J ew , t h ey do n ot come forward to support one who differs "'„ religion from them, but th ey come forward f 0 support the rights and privileges of the citizens o f LI don.—(lmmense cheeri ng .)

In the adver tisement which the frieeds of the Noble Lord? my opponent, have inserted in to-day'a papers, they come forward "to maintain the rights and pri' vileges of the House of Lords,"—(Disapprobation.) Now listen, my friends, we never wish to interfere with the rights and privileges of the House of Lords, we respect them, and we know if we do not respect theo they will not respect us.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Therefore, gentlemen, as we wish that the rights and privilege of the citizens of London shall be Arespectedt so, gentlemen, will we respect the rights and privileges of the House of Lords.—(Renewed cheers. A cr y of "No Bishops," and laughter.) This election, gentle men, was to prove and to test public opinion.—(Heart hear.) This election was to see if the opinion w hich you expressed at the last election was an opinion too precipitately made, dr one that you did not wish to confirm. It was, gentlemen, Ito election upon which we should have a great and glorious demonstration of public opinion.—(Hear, hear.) Well, have we not had that demonstration? —(A responsive shout, " Yes, and will have again.") We hope not 50 soon ; we hope to be able to do without it. We have had that demonstration of public opinion, and I am happy in having seen so many Noble Lords in the City yesterday and the day before, and I hope and trust they will convey to their friends in the House of Lords, and to their relations, the spirit of opinion which is now so prevalent in this city.—(Loud cheers.) They will then say we have been ucting constitutionally —(gear, hear)—that we have done nothing with which any person can find fault. We have only wished to assert our rights and privileges. Now, gentlemen, I am very happy indeed in having this public opportunity of stating what I stated privately to the Nobl e L or d (Lord John Manners).

He came for ward to assert the principles of a line of policy which his party think fit to propose. Listen to him; if you don't approve of them that is a different thing; but, as you have been kind enough to listen to me, I hope yon will do the same to him, Yesterday was a glorious del for us, and I hope and trust we shall have a Macaulay or some great man who will write it on the noblest page of the history of England.—(Cheers.) I am confident the Noble Lords will pay due attention to tbis demon' stration of -public opinion. I hope and trust I shall not have to call upon you again for some time to claim another and a second demon stration of the same sentiments and feelings which you have exhibited yesterday and to-day.
