Sleation of their bleeding hearts to the Gon of Battles. When the late glorious campaign, which terminated - in the defeat of the Imperialists by the Hunga • rians, commenced—it will not be forgotten that a period of obscurity elapsed before any intelligence arrived as to the vary ing fortunes of the belligerents. After that interval rumours were heard that the Magyars were beaten, that their assailants, in fact, were every where victorious. From the outset we discredited these reports, not merely because they were in every instance contradictory to each other, but because they were invariably transmitted via Germany, receiving a particular colouring in their passage through the political atmosphere of Vienna. Our incredulity proved in every instance to be correct. The apparent flight of the Hungarians before the legions of the Imperial invaders was discovered in the end to be only the initial movement of a masterly system of military tactics. Town after town was abandoned, river after river crossed, fortress after fortress evacuated, until—the grand army of the Austrians having been sufficiently reduced in garrisons—the Hungarians emerged from the shelter of their morasses, and from the fastnesses of their mountains, and, with one revelation of their national valour, transformed the conquerors into fugitives. Then it was that Europe witnessed that glorious ebullition of patriotism which enabled the raw re cruits from the neighbourhood of Debreczin to rout the veteran soldiers of Germany. Then it was that the improvised army of Liberation advanced by forced marches, tracking their read by the glow of succes sive victories, until they had driven the last minion of the EMPEROR from the sacred soil of their fatherland, until they had reinstated their patriotic statesmen in the capital Buda Pesth, until they had threatened the battlements of Presburg, and had penetrated so far beyond the frontiers of the Republic, as to be within si g ht of the walls of the imperial metropolis. Having observed the succession of events in the last campaign, we may reasonably anticipate the same preliminary gloom and dubiousness as to the progress of' the war, followed by the same preci pitate paeans of triumph over the reported successes of the imperialists. Let it be known, however, that the flimsy masquerade is by this time so threadbare as to be clearly transparent. The clumsy devices of the organs of reaction cannot be repeated without detec tion. However profound may be the uncertainty— however load may be the hosannahs of exultation ch tunted over the supposititious achievements of the dragoons of absolutism, the multitude will not lose heart as to the doom of the Magyaes, neither will it resign one iota of its confidence in their heroism and their genius. As to the nature of the catastrophe—that, of course, is hidden in the in scrutable designs of the great Gon of Justice. Although, numerically considered, the hostile forces are of appalling superiority, the Hungarians are, in our estimation, very far indeed from being in any desperate extremity. They recommence the struggle with the prestige of their recent victories. They enter the battle-field clad in the panoply of their new as well as their ancient and historical glory. Their Government has been consolidated by the triumph of a great national liberation. Their Republican institutions have been stabili tated simultaneously by the sentiments of ad miration and by the emotions of gratitude. And as a crowning effort to evoke all the holiest and noblest feelings of the Magyar race, there has been issued a proclamation that stirs the heart like a trumpet call, a proclamation dictated by the lambent and almost inspired eloquence of KOSSUTH, burning with the fire of patriotism, and sounding with the resonance of heroic desperation. As the most conspicuous token of our homage to the genius of an illustrious people, and of our sympathy with their struggles for emanci pation, we give, for the first time, a complete trans lation of this soul- thrilling document. Remember it is the voice of KOSSUTH that speaks, and that he speaks from the capital of the Hungarians!-- " The country is in danger ! Patriots, arm your selves. If ordinary means could save the country, we should not tell of its danger as we do. We say openly and candidly, that the whole strength of the people must rise in defence ; if not, they must perish with hunger ; for those savage Russians not only mow down the fruits of your labour, the crops well nigh ripe for the harvest, but they also—we say it with a bleeding heart—cut down the green corn, which they destroy. Thus they proceed with murder and rapine ; and blood, flames, famine, and misery march in their track. In the name of the Eternal God, and in the name of the country, do we call upon the people to rise in their own defence; and we decree and proclaim a ge neral crusade against the Russians and the Austrian Emperor. All provisions must be hid from the enemy —hid in the fastnesses of the mountains and the morasses of the plains—for the enemy shall starve. Before your towns and inhabited places are occupied by the enemy, you shall abandon them; yea, you shall leave them, and your bravest men shall fire the roots above the heads of your foes. You shall burn them with fire, because your homes are doomed, and your enemies burn wherever they come. Since, therelore, the houses are to be burnt, let them at least be consumed while the Russians are in them. The priests shall take the cross, and lead the people to de:end their religion and liberty. If the people do not faith fully do their duty, the country is lost, and nothing can save it. " The country is in danger! Rise, then, my mighty, my gigantic people, rise and arm Let every Hunga rian take up arms, and victory will be ours. And it is for this reason we decree and proclaim a general rising for our liberty in the name of God and of our country!" The sound of those glowing words has already echoed throughout the homesteads of the nation, and Hun gary is in arms; pledged to conquer or perish ! G. F. HOWE, Hon. Sec., pro tern. NOTIC'E !

The Irish intelligence is of a melancholy and deeply painful character. We Lave been too long accustomed to accounts of suffering and destitution, of wholesale evictions, and of entire districts lying waste and uncultivated after the banishment of their once happy occupants, to feel any surprise at the lamentable statements of a similar description that daily arrive from the sister kingdom. But, unfortu nately, a new, although not quite unexpected, in gredient appears on the present occasion. There has been a renewal of those scenes of strife and blood shed that so long disgraced the northern province. Religious animosities are rekindled, party warfare revived, and • " Civil dissension, with its vip'rous tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the Commonwealth," now rages throughout Ulster. These deplorable results are mainly ascribed to the reckless and headstrong conduct of the Orange party —of those who recently protested against the rate in aid for the support of their distressed brethren in the south and west of Ireland. That the ignorant masses should desire again to celebrate the anniversary of the 12th of July, and the bygone triumphs of their party, may excite but little surprise; but that their leaders— men of education and influence, and some of considerable wealth and station—should have sanc tioned a repetition of those absurd exhibitions that excited feelings of bitter hostility, and almost invariably led to fatal consequences, is indeed strange. If any hope remained for their unhappy country, if any prospect existed of the social regeneration of Ireland, it was to be sought for in the cordial co-operation of Irishmen of every class and creed for the benefit of their common country. It might have been supposed that the chastening dispensations of PROVIDENCE, the pestilence and famine that decimated the nation, would have induced a more temperate and humble spirit ; that those who were them• selves afflicted would not seek to insult their fellow-sufferers, or to revive those sanguinary feuds that were in the olden time the defacing blots on the national escutcheon. These reasonable expectations have, however, been disappointed. The orangem en with drums and banne rs — t h e wlid Catholicke in p party roe e r s e s s in e o nt s e d the insult—a fearful collision took place, and many widows and orphans deprived of their natural protectors will long deplore the fatal termination of the proceedings. It appears that the different Orange lodges as sembled on Thursday, the 12th instant, at Tollymore • park, the seat of the Earl of RODEN, and that, as usual on such occasions, they were well provided with fire arms and other weapcns of offence. On their return in the evening through the pass of Dolly's Brae the progress of the precession was opposed by a large body of the peasantry, armed with pikes, muskets, scythes, and a variety of formidable weapons. Shots were fired, and many killed and wounclei on either side. During the progress of the contest several cottages were set on fire, and with their contents totally consumed, the wretched occupants being deprived of the *bolter of A roof, and thrciwn in Utter ' MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a brisk demon i for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, End sellers were very firm, demanding higher prices, which in most cases have been acceded to, espe cially for American, which may be quoted nearly 1-sd. higher. The sales were estimated from 2,000 to 1,000 bales. Railway Shares were firm. The Corn Market to-day is dull at barely Monday's prices. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather lower on Trieste; steady on Paris and Frankfort, and higher on Hamburgh and Antwerp. Letters from the Haysnnah, dated late in June, indi cate the probability of rather a serious hindrance to commercial ietercourse with Cuba. One writer states: —" Our Board of Health have decided to make the quarantine regulations very rigorous. No passengers coming by steamers from the United States will be allowed to land, but must return. Steamers arriving with the cholera on hoard will have to remain outside the harbour, or in the case of bad weather, at its en• trance for the purpose of taking in provisions, coals, &c.; vessels from every part of the United States will be subjected to eight day: observation, and those from infected places to twenty days' quarantine, counting from the time of their arrival here. Passengers by sailing vessels will have to perform quarantine on board of the same. Vessels with the cholera on board will not be allowed to enter, except merely for the pur pose of taking in some necessary supplies. Such is the present decision of the Board of Health, but we trust these severe measures will soon be mo dified. " Translation of an Order published in the Diario de la Marina ot Havanuah, on the 22d day of June, 1849. "In consequence of the great extent to which cholera bas spread in the United States, and there being no proper place at this port for the accom modation and separation from each other during the quarantice, of the great number of passengers arriving iu vessels from those ports, it has been determined not to admit, while the said causes exist, those arriving in steamers, but such as come in sailing vessels, as in the latter they can ride cut the quarantine which may be impose upon them. Vessels arriving from infected ports shall uudergo twenty days of rigor ous quarantine, reckoned from the day of arrival, and also the fumigation ordained by the regulation. Such vessels us come from non-infected ports, with clean bills of health, shall undergo an obser vation of eight days, after which they will be admitted to free intercourse, should there be no just motive to prevent it." Ship letters have been received this morning from Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, New South Wales, but they are not of so late a date as those previously received. The news by the continental mails arrived this morn ing is ot but little importance. The market for the English Securities has been heavy this morning, and there is but a limited business doing. This is pay day upon the monthly speculative ac count, and has not led to any particular difficulty among the dealers, although the Bears have suffered, the rise within the four weeks having been Just 3 per cent., re., from 903 to 931 ex dividend. The feeling recently, however, has been so strong in tavour of an improvement in prices, that one is puzzled to know who have been the parties with sufficient hardihood to withstand it. Cet tail's it is that real iiivestments have progressed almost equally with jobbing operations, and that the siniply of snick brought to market has been comparatively limited. An advance must necessarily, however, bring for ward sellers, and this accounts for the occasional reaction of small per centages. On the whole it is difficult to say weat can be done with the pre;ceeds ot stock sold unless some new outlet is obtained. Railway shares when the y become in favour may offer this, and foreign loans if there wets a chance of their being successful, would have their influence, but many will doubt whether France, even in her present position, would find any favour with British capitalists. She wants money unquestionably, and if report speak truly, nothing short of eight millions sterling will suffice, thanks partly to the aggressive proceedings against Rome.

Many prisoners were captured, thirty-eight of whom have been committed for trial, and sever al inquests are to be held on the bodies of those who received their death-wounds in the san guinary encounter. As the whole matter must be subjected to legal in vestigation, we abstain for the present from consider ing which of those parties first resorted to deadly weapons, or stained their hands in human gcre. We shall not inquire whether the first shot proceeded from the Orange or the Catholic ranks. This, how ever, is certain, that murder and arson have been committed, that innocent blood has been shed, and that the Orangemen are morally, if not legally, re sponsible for the consequences that might easily have been anticipated without any extraordinary de gree of foresight. They were the first aggressors by resolving on an exhibition that has ever been re garded as a deep and bitter insult to the Catholic community, that perpetuated the remembrance of former discord, and sowed the seeds of strife that would be handed down from father to son through successive generations. It is much to be regretted that the wise and salutary law prohibiting party pro cessions of any description should have been suffered to expire, that so fertile a source of outrage and dis turbance should be permitted to exist. We trust that Government will, even during the present session, bring forward a Bill for the re-enactment of the Party Processions Act. But while we thus justly condemn the Orange body, their opponents also are worthy of the gravest censure. They should have regarded the ridiculous proceedings with silent contempt; they should have exhibited a respectful obedience to the law that would have contrasted strongly with the intemperate conduct of the others, and obtained the approbation of all unprejudiced persons. Such a course would do more to check these objectionable processions than the most determined opposition, or the most sanguinary conflicts. Were it not for the expectation of contests, and of exciting the Catholic party, the processions would be speedily abandoned. Tha Orangemen would not gravely march along with flags and banners, armed to the teeth, rendering themselves the laughing- stocks of all spectators, if no other result were anticipated. Ridicule and good humoured contempt would prove more efficient weapons than guns, or pikes, or all the offensive in struments of the riband armoury. On the present occasion the Catholic party too read.ly responded to the Orange challenge. If one side invited a contest the other promptly accepted the gage of battle, and came, with all their powers, resolved on bloodshed. If a deadly contest was not anticipated, why were such extensive preparations, such formidable organization entered into P Unless " war to the knife" was expected, why were fire arms, pikes, swords, scythes, •&c., &c., so freely resorted to on every side? Why were they not contented with shilelahs or alpeens, the usual instrument of the Irish peasant, with which he can break his neighbour's head in perfect love and good fellowship. In this respect there is but little difference, and all parties implicated, whether Protestant or Catholic, Orangeman or Itibandenan, are involved in similar guilt, and are equally deserving of punishment.

A terrible campaign having eommenced in earnest between the united forces of Austro-Russian despo tism and the patriot soldiers of Hungary, the atten tion of the free races of Western Europe is turned with the vigilance of unutterable anxiety towards the field of the great struggle. Every rumour, however vague—every conjecture, however frivolous—every fear, however desponding—every aspiration, however extravagant—is caught up with an avidity which reveals the profound interest of the multitude in this tremendous conflict between the two gigantic powers of modern times, the powers of the East and the West, the powers of Tyranny and Freedom , the powers of Barbarism and Civilization. 'ft is felt that in the cast of this die is involved the ulterior destiny of the age. It is felt that upon the issue of this awful and desperate contention reposes the good or the evil fate of innumerable mil lions. In the armies of the Autocrat we see not so 'much the savage warriors of NicuoLes as the ruth lees champions of that cause, in the furtherance of ' Which even NICLIOLAS himself, formidable as he is in his imperial puissance, is a mere instrument—the 'cause of_ intellectual darkness and moral degenera tion, the cause of mental and political Retrogression. In the Magyars, on the other hand, we recognise the heroes of Progress, who, in hazarding their lives for the defence 'of their beloved country, are prepared to offer themselves up as victims for liberty, or as martyrs for civilization. Once before has this renowned population flung itself into the breach of society, and, at the risk of extermination, become the buckler of the rights of Europe. Formerly it saved tire family of the Europeans from being bound down under the bondage of the Mahometans. Now it is fghting for the protection of all the western dominions from an inundaticn equally terrible, an inundation of savage hordes from territories stretching back to the confines of the Siberian wilderness. While this ap palling, because unequal, battle is raging in the beautiful and fruitful provinces irrigated by the Danube—while the glorious children of Hun gary are drawing their brands from their scabbards to shelter their fields from desolation, and their roof-trees from the fletnes, to save their nation: ality from the chains of the despot, and their females from the hand of the ravisi -, er— the dastardly Govern ments of the West are looking on with the apathy of indifference, are evading all the impassioned appals made to them fur assistance, are repelling the advance o f the people with the ambiguous language of diplo. MARKET NE Ws —(THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY Only a limited quantity of DigliLh Wheat was on offer in to-day's market, nevertheless, it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers, whose attendance was small. Ali descriptions moved off heavily, at Monday's rt duc tion in the quotati , .!ns. The imports of Foreign Vv *heat have been confined to 3,530 quarters, chit fly from the near continental ports. t:ieleettd samples were held at full prices. Interior qualities ruled the turn in favour of the buyers. No English Ba!Liy on offer, but the supply of foreign was large. All kinds moved off slowly. In prices, however, v. e have no change to notice. !Malt was in short supply, and sluggish demand, at late rates.

HUNGARY and THE HUNGARIANS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. Sin,—Your noble defence of the cause of Hungary and the a ungarians is the general theme of praise in this capital, and emboldens me to trouble you with the few following remarks. Nothing but the recognition of Hungary as an independent state by England, conjointly with France, can prevent toe war being carried into Turkey, should the successes of the Imperialists eventually prevail on the soil of Hungary.* This would be the occasion so long waited tor, and alone wanting, to carry out the cherished projects of the Czars. Lord Pahnerston's policy is no longer engaged —it is now no international quarrel—the intervention of Russia has completely changed the character of the war in Hungary. The Noble Foreign Stcretary can never permit matters to be carried to an ex.femity which would set the whole of Europe is a blaze. lie must now feel convinced that the only way to secure this peace of Eastern Europe is a stroag Government. He cannot look for this in the heterogeneous masses and the weak sway ot Austria. Single handed the Hungarians were inure than a match fur the Austrian-; the inter vention of Russia has turned the scale, and the chances of the war are now in lay , ur of the Imp, ratii,ta We will suppose that they are e•ventuatly successtul, and that. Hungary is forced tu again submit to toe rule ot Austria! What guarantee does the let er give nr a strong empire? None; she had but the shadow of a power, she h,is descended to a third rate rank in the Grover:m tits of Europe ; the moment she called to her aid the hordes of Lir Ltlplait ors io fUsta n her , Acning existence, a strung empire, a strong Government. is never more to be looked for in Austria. Let Lord Palmerston take the initiative, and create, by the rect.,gattion of Hungary, a flunyarien Empire as an independent state, a re..l Em pire of the East, and thereby secure the peace and pros perity of that part or Europe. In another letter, it you will permit me, I will en deavour to show that Kussuth and his Government have hitherto been completely misunderstood by the gene rality of the public in England and France—nay, even by the Governments of the two cou'lries. Tile Re public was never proclaimed by the Diet of Debriczfn. The eventual form of government was left an open question. W. Brussels, July 17, 1849. P.S. The whole kingdom of Poland is declared in a state of siege; no one is permitted to leave the country. [Yes I The Autocrat has declared the whole of Poland in a state of siege. Why does not his insane despotism go yet one step further, and apply the state of siege to the Universe?—ED. Sun.] *The Ottoman Government seems already to have in view this contingency in refusing to comply with the demands of Russia and Austria to send from Constanti nople the emissaries of Hungary. FINE ARTS. THE ART JOURNAL. Among the engravings from the Vernon collection, already published in the Art Journal, we have for July Etty's lovely picture of " Bathers surprised by a Swan," Roberts's "Interior of Burgos Cathedral," and Cooke's " Dutch Boats in a Calm." As " Pas sages from the Poets" we have illustrations from the verse of Cowper and of Wordsworth—the latter revealing the " willowy brook that turns a mi!1" is exquisite. The " Memoir of J. B. Pyne" is headed by a drawing from his portrait by J. J. Hill, wretchedly engraved, and giving but an indifferent representation of the features of that admirable landscape painter. Mrs. S. C. Hall contributes to the present number of the Art Journal a charming memoir of her friend Miss Edgeworth. The letter written shortly before the demise of that distinguished lady is a peculiarly interesting curiosity. Other papers and woodcuts in the current part are excellent. ILLUSTRATED ATLAS.

A compete yet condensed narrative of the whole proceedings which have been taken in reference to these interesting and remarkable productions. If only on the score of justice, the writer is entitled to a perusal. PRINCE ItUrEttI"FAKEN PRI- ,SONER. Once more the Austrians charged, and forced the Palatine cavalry back, still struggling, into the defile from whence they had issued; but here they made a firm stand, repulsing every attack, until a body of Aus trians, soo strong, crept down the bill side, charged the Prince's flank, and put his few remaining troops to the sword or to irretrievable contusion. No thought of retreating ever occurred to the Prince's mind; he struggled onward through his enemies as fast as horse and sword could force their way, when suddenly be found himself the sole object of attack to a score of cuirassiers: he turned for a moment to cheer on his men, and found himself alone! With a desperate effort he broke through his assailants, and soon afterwards, to his surprise, found himself disregarded by the eager enemy. For a moment he was unable to account for their neglect ; until he observed that the Austrians all wore a white ribbon in their helmets as the sign.* Ile bad by chance adopted the same mark to render himself conspicuous to his followers, and thus passed uninjured among the hostile forces. As he rode through the confused and still struggling bands under this disguise, he observed one of the cornets whom Lord Craven had brought up, struggling with a few gallant soldiers to defend the Elector's standard. In a moment Rupert was in the melee, fighting fiercely till his last comrade fell. Then, once more bursting from his assailants, he rode at a high wall, his ex hausted horse refused it, and sunk upon the ground. His pursuers rushed forward to secure him ; but he striking down the foremost man, refused all quarter, and fought desperately on, until over whelmed with numbers, and borne by sheer strength to the ground. Colonel Lippe struck, up the visor of (his helmet, and, not knowing his face, de manded who he was? "A colonel," replied the Pala tine. "Sacrernet I" cried the grey. haired veteran, "you are a young one." Just then, General Hatzfeldt rode up; he immediately recognised his prisoner, addressed him with respect, and committed him in charge to Colonel Devereux to escort to 'Warrendoope.—.Eliot Warburton's Memoirs of Prince i?upert. * The similarity of armour and accoutrements ren dere(i it neeessery for each party to assume some sign or symbol to distinguish them, especially when the face was guarded. Thu.—This morning, at nine o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises occupitd by Mr. S:one, builder and carpenter, si;uated in King's Head-yard, at the back of Little Wild-street. The flames soon spread through the roof, completely gutting the shop, and extPntling to th e back of two or three houses in Little Wild street, t e . nanted by a number of poor people. The brigade soon arrived, together with the engine of Messrs. Comb; the brewers, and a plentiful zupply of water being at hand, the fire was soon extinguished.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took tho Chair this morning shortly after 'l',,vtive 1 A RYLEBONE AND FINCIILEY TURNPIKE ROADS BILL. On the motion for the consideration of the report on this Bill, Mr. STUART WORTLEY stated that he consi• dered the measure came before the House in a very questionable shape, and thctight it Ras calculateu to do great it:justice to Coload E . ) re and the other mortgag , es. He felt bound to complai.n of the manner in which the Committee had dealt with their irrerests, and he would therefore propose, as a Comtnittee was sitting upon the subject, that the further considerati‘ n of the report on this 13:11 should be post poned until teat Committee had made its report. Mr. WRIGHTSON defended the course pursued by the Committee, and support,.ci the further consideration of the report on the Bill. After a short discussion, the amendment was with drawn, and the Bill ordered to be ef.grossed. PETITIONS. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from St. Pancras praying the House to take steps to prevent the extension of beer houses. Mr. II 013 HOUSE presented a petition from a place in Lincolnshire to the same effect. Sir W. CLAY presented a petition from the Tower Hanthts praying for the removal of Smithfield Market. Mr. HAMILTON presented a petition front Dublin praying that the sanitary Bill might be extended to IrelanC. Mr. FORSTER presented a petition from Bury in favour of the Marriage Bill. Mr. SPOONED presented four petitions in favour of the Protection of Women Bill, and a petition signed by all the clerks of tho parish churches of Birmingham, stating that they had a tr,ehold interest in their offices, and praying the House to tyke their case into considera tionbeforeabolishing intramural burials. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire, praying the LlouNe to apply the rule of three tests to all parties who should in future be entitled to the suffrage. DIVORCE BILLS. Mr. BOUVERIE gave nutice that next session it was his intention to divide the House against every Divorce Bill that wss brought in. —(A laugh.) TROOPS IN THE 'WES V INDIES. In reply :o a question from Mr. DICKSON, Mr. FOX MAULE, who was very indistinctly heard, owing to be noise in the House at the time, under stood to say that though the mortalLy among tile troops at Jamaica had been great, every precaution had been taken durit g the pried that, the yellow fever was must prevalent to preserve them from attacks of the disease, by removing them to more healthy barracks, and by other means; - and he was now h -ppy to state that the troops were now in comparative good health. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had to request the Elonourable Mfinh rs who had orders of the day iupon the paper prec-ding the order for going eto Cernmitte o of Supply, would consent to the arrangement which he had now to prof ose. rt was very desirtiLle that they should proceed at once with the ord nance estimates, and whAt he pr..posed was, that on Monday the House should sit at twelve o'clock, and that the orders preceding the Committee of Supply should stand on the piper on that day in the saute urete r i n which they now stood. He also pice. , ose d that the House should ,it till lour o'clock and. if nece,sury, to six, but he. trusted thlt they would be able to finish the orders before tour o'clock. The lion. Gentleman opposite (11r. S. Wortley ), who brought for waid the Marriage Bill, bad stetted yesterday that he could not culiarnt to this ar • rangeinein, but he trusted that he would now give way to the Government, and allow thew to proceed with the Committee of Supply. With respect to a very important motion by tl e Hon. Member re.ir Cockeimouth .L.L , ramin), which he if , as pro venter brining or, ye stet day, owieg to tqe i.re hour to which another 0.-bate was pro longed, he hoped that it might be taken on ,Monday evening. 'The re was also another motion by the Hon. Member for Montrose with respect to British Guiana, which he thought might also he brought on on Mon-. day. He ventured, therefore, to ask the House to ac cede to the proposal which he had made. Mr. BOUVFAtIE said the first order of the day re ferred 4o by the Noble Lord (fhe Sunday Trading Bill) was under his charge; and th, ugh be was reluctant to postpone it at this late period of the session, yet, fur the sake of the progress of public business he would consent to its being postponed until Monday.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said he was anxious that the Government should go into Supply, knowing that eight or ten clear days must elapse, alter a g reeing to the report, bef o r e th e Appropriation of Aids Bill could pass through both Houses of Parliament; but at the same time he must say that the situation of British Guiana was one of the utmost importance, and that his views on the subject had been hardly dealt with. Whit, he asked, therefore, was to he allowed to state the case of the colonists to the HOLM, and if the Noble Lord would give him an op portunity to do so, he was ready to accede to the arrangement. The Government would very much for ward the business of the House if they would state what course they intended to take with respect to the Sun day Trading Bill, the Protection of Women Bill, and the Cruelty to Animals Bill. Much time had been wasted in discussing Bills which the Government had opposed. 'These measurer, in his humble opinion, ought to be taken up by the Government, andnot by individual Members, and he hop d, therefore, if there was no ob jection, that they would be discharged. Mr. EINDLEY deprecated the unjust attack of the Hon. Member, that his Bill had wasted the time of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said he would state on Monday how far the Government disagrerd with the Bills men tioned by the Hon. Mernt er lot Montrose. After a brief discussion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that when the Go vernment were arraugitz to give the Hon. Gentleman two hours more than he would otherwise have had, it was i.carctly lair that he should txpress himielf dis satisfied. Mr. HORSMAN proposed that the House should ad journ at five mid resume again at seven, when his motion would cam. on. Mr. BOUVERIE could not see what the Hon. Mem ber would gain by this. Lord J. RUSSELL was in hopes that the sitting would be over at four, and they would then meet again at six. Atter some further conversation, Mr. HORSMAN acquiesced in the proposition of the Noble Lord. Mr. HINDLEY wishtrd to explain, that when ho said he was tired of the Bill of whicn he ha i the charge (Prevention of Cruelty to Aanitnal6), he meant that he us tired of the trouble and delay he had met with iu endeavouring to bring it on. In answer to a question from an HoN. MEMBER, Mr. DRUMMOND said th,t he stioulit persist in his motion, %filch stood on the piper for to-sorrow night, unless the Governtnent sum e , ted in giving him no [louse. The SPEAKER then lett the Chair, and the House went into Com.uittee on SUPPLY, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The firs: vote was for 165,373/. for the Ordnance es ,ablishment in this country and in the colouies. Mr. FIUME said that the course which the estimates were taking was such as to pie elude alt discussion. It wes absolutely necessary fur the Government to make up their minds before next session what course they meant to take with respect to the colonies. The waste which took place in the stores sent out there were so great as to justify any complaints which the people of England might make. There was great room for economy in those matters, both by the union of the different stores, and by putting the expense of stores upon the colonies themselves, and in this way a great relief might be afforded to the British public. Immense quantities of these stores ware accumulated together, and many of them spoiled. If the Noble Lord did not attempt to reduce the expenditure, he would he compelled to do so next year, or some one else would do it for him. The waste in the article of gunpowder, expended in salutes and such nonsense, was enormous. Why, he understood that a Bishop in the colonies could not shift about from one place to another without a royal salute. This was a church militant certainly. Then there was the review at Chatham, which was to take place shortly, which he was informed would cost au immense sum of money. Every shell thrown cost 11s. 6d. These might appear trifles, but he thought that they were pay ing for war in a time of peace, and be thought that he was justified in demanding from the Government for the people of England the benefits and blessings of peace. If they exhaust themselves and run to the last shilling in the time of peace, what were they to do in time of war? A large addition to the national debt has been made since 1828, ad there was no step taken whatever to reduce it. They might have saved upwards of 500,000/ in the expenditure of the African squadron, but they had taken no step whatever to at all mitigate that evil. He was, perhaps, wasting his time in not taking individual instances, but he might have shown that the expenditure of powder in salutes could well have been saved, and he at beat trusted that the salutes to bishops would be discontinued. —(Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) had found fault with a very innocent enj o y ment, which Mr. Burke had stated as being a most agreeable sound, and as the only cause of regret which he experienced on leaving office, a feeling to which in his own capacity he could bear tes timony.—(A laugh.) Then, with regard to the shots and shells to which his Hon. Friend had referred, al though he might himself equally object to the salutes in which the powder was expended, and especially as respected that which was expended in salutes to bishops, he was certainly quite ready to throw them aside. But his lion. Friend should remember that during the last war no peer went on board a man-of-war without being saluted.—(Hear, hear.) With regard, however, to the expenditure for stores, it should be also recol lected that it was only in the time of peace that they could prepare for war, and what would his Honourable Friend think, if any opulent London merchant who had his warcheulee well stored with valuable property, and who had had his premises watched ler a series of years by a watchman, who walked about the premises with a blunderbuss in his hand, and yet because the property had rieler been molested, becauee nobody had broken into the piece, refuted any longer to retain his watch man.—(ilear.)•The properly might in future be ta r e, but it it was not, what Would be thought of his prudence?— (He-tr. hear.) 'The Governtut-iit had acted upon this - ipl. f.e o.l:tte:L.;el.oy • ti.ll;A: :er.) with to , he leeo. ee. Fei- ea ea Lae ; national expenditure, he would refer him to the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member fox Awn. worth (Sir R. Peel) on the estimates, which had made a g; e4t unpresioi, upon the House, and in which be hod reminned them that upwards of 39,000.000/. of !billion had Leen r emove d f rom the burl,-us of the people since the tt-rmination of the war, to that while providing tor the put‘lic safety, the Government had nut been negligent of ec , :nomy. Mr. V. SMITH did not think that Lis Noble Friend at the head of the Treasury had treated tilt observations of the Hon. ManaLer for Montrose with fairness. What that Hon. Member complain, d or was not that there was a si.ffielent quantity of stores for war;ike operations, but that while there we, a sufficient stock they were conti nually adding to it.—(Hear, heir.) Now every one knew that just in prop , :rtiou as the sunk inen.asqd the ei,tablistnent must increa:e.—(Hear, hear.) B, sides, in this age of science and civilization w discoveries were continually being made which entirely superseled the old ones, just as the application of detonating locks had thrown aside the old flat and steel.—(Hear, hear) (LEFT SPEARINIL) HER MAJESTY's THEATRE.—His Royal Highness Priece Leopold of Naples (Ceunt of Ss racuse). attended by the Chi valier Colenna, honoured the performances at her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening with his pre sense.

MARIA.—If Henrietta Mari! . had hitherto displ as et i t h e willuleess, indiscretion, an d levity of Mary of Medicis, she now emulated the e nergy and talent of H enr y of N avarre. In all his domielen. the king could n o t h ave found a man capable of Pe-,.." forming what unassisted woman accomplished. France stood aloof, ' l et sorry to see the power of England vidtd against itself, and Richelieu left the sister of sovereign to beg from strangers, and to feel herself ant exile tram her native land. Royal and P a pi s t u s shewaS , the Que e n f oun d a Protestant republic very slow tot list, ri to the voice of her charming; *the public symPil; tines of the Dutch were all wen the Parliament, and th.ugh their private interests induced them to &al with thts Queen, theyf, hn esvaetri3s.tfieida they gt.v.

Arid it was full time. The King had left Len" dirt for the north, arid was only hesitating where be should raise that standard which he hsd not yet an armed rosin to Warburton's Memoirs of Pi ince Rupert. GUTTA PERCtIA TUBING.—A series of interesting experiments kris lust heel, concluded ..t the Birmingham Wee.rworks, relative to the strength of gutty perchn tubing, with a view to its applicability for the c onvey" _ auce of water. The experi ments were ma d e, un d e r the direction of Mr. H. Rote, engineer, upon tubes three• quarters of an inch diamet er , an d one-eighth th i c k 01 gutta percha. These wer e a t tac h e d to the iron main, and suej. cted for two m ont h s to a pressure of 200 feetbeau' of water, without being in the slightest degree deteri o ' rated. In order to ascerta i n, if possible, the maximu m strength of the tubes, they were connected with toe water company's hydraulic proofing pump, the regnie r t load of which i s 25 0 1 b. i n the square inch. At this point they were una ff ecte d , and the pump was worked 111) to 3371 b., but to th e aston i s h ment of every one, the tu bes still remained perf ec t. I t was t h en proposed to w on' the pump up to 500, but it was found that the lever e r the valve w ou ld b ear no more we i g h t. The utmost pele of the hydraulic p um p cou ld no t b urst the tu b es. 4 'e gutta perchts being slightly elastic, all o w e d t h e tubes to s . become a little expand e d by t h e extraordinary pressure which was applied, but on its withdrawal they resume d their former size. TORQUAY REGATTA.— The arrangements f o r the ensuing regatta progress most favourably; the Earl of Wilton, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, SI Henry Hoghton, the owner o f t h e Gipsy Queen, and Mr. Ackers of th e B r illi an t, h ave undertaken to act as stewards, and to bring as large a fleet as they can wit" them. The d a y, w hi c h i s now fi xe d for the 26th s will doubtless Ise altered, as the Hyde regatta is to Mil e place on the 24th, in consequence of her Majesty visiting Ireland in the early part of August, when this regatt a was first fixed to take place.—Exeter Gazette.
