M° % ItOn ^ Crientna LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1849. After the most deliberate preparation the promoters of Reaction are beginning at last to throw off their masquerade of subserviency to Republicanism. Ru mours of a Ministerial modification, so remarkable as to be tantamount to a declaration in favour of the monarchical principle, are-whispered, and that, too, with very audible distinctness, about the Parisian circles. A coup d'etat is said to be on the very brink of demonstration. Nor can we be surprised that such are the anticipations of the sincere but mo derate friends of democracy when we consider the direct encouragement recently received from different quarters by the Government of ODILON BARRoT, the Government of interregnum, the Government in tended by the reactionnaires to be the warming. pan of Restoration. Foremost among these encourage ments is the military success.; of OUDINOT. Rome having been occupied by the expeditionary army under his command—the Cabinet of Louis NAPO LEON has become at once and permanently identified with the cause of the suppressors of ultra-democracy; and the restoration of the Sovereign Porcrirr, we may be sure, is only viewed by his advisers as the antecedent to a movement of a somewhat similar character in the French metropolis. Simultaneously with the warlike encouragement obtained from the Pontifical dominions there is the electioneering encouragement afforded to the secret enemies of the movement of February by the late supplementary selection of representatives to the Legislative As. sembly, In the vast majority of instances those elections have proved not merely inimical to the cause of the Extreme or Communistic Republicans, but directly advantageous to the interests of their arch antagonists, the Monarchical - Conservatives. It is true that M. DE LA:WARTIME has been chosen through the urn of universal suffrage not only by the electors of Loiret but also by those of Saone-et-Loire—yet we cannot but view that double return of the Founder of the French Republic, that most illustrious and patriotic of all the champions of Democracy, that great man whose reputation is as unsullied as his genius is resplendent, we cannot but view the double return of LAMARTINE just at this particular crisis as rather indicative of re morse to himself personally, than of any return of allegiance to the sublime system of administration inaugurated by his magnanimous deeds and by his superb masterpieces of eloquence. A sentiment more positive than that of mere sus picion begins perforce to penetrate the intellects of every reflective observer. The thought jars upon the apprehension of every lover of Gallic liberty, that there was a mournful and profound truth in that solemn warning addressed to the Madmen of the Mountain, by EUGENE CAVAIGNAC now some time f'‘pity-that warning voice which he raised against the . I.ted ultras, exclaiming—" If ever Freedom be France, it will be through your - exagge. - . rationar Events are proving every day, • - . rieOre-' 4 and .. more, the accuracy of that me- -- utotable - aeclAraticni , Anr unless miracle THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, of patriotism redeem the country from the appalling ' perils by which it is being rapidly surrounded, the posterity of 35,000,000 will curse the day when the• light first dawned upon the eyes of a PROUDBOX and a Bec, of a PEAT and a LAGRANGE, of a LE-.• ROUX and a BARnEs, of a HUBER and a BLANQUI. But for such men as these, with their foul and dis ' estrous doctrines, with their vicious and contami nating audacity, with their extravagant and imprac ticable propositions—Republicanism would at this moment be more, if possible, in the ascendant than it was in the spring of 1848 ; and the intriguing enemies of democracy would never have dared to raise their heads from the lurking holes and cellars of concealment to which they had escaped on the first explosion of the Revolution. Now, how ever, the demagogues and false prophets of the Moun tain have strangled the beneficent power of the true friends of freedom in France, the Moderate Repub licans ; and they have done this by scaring a large portion of the multitude to the supposed shelter of reaction, through the dread of their evil supremacy, and the hideous colour of their aspirations. That we are more than justified in these lugubrious opinions may be readily proved by one or two most significant circumstances. The disbandment of the Army of the Alps ! indi cates sufficiently well that the present Administrators of France are by no means solicitous to offer any di rect obstacle to the advancing strength and increasing influence of the AUTOCRAT. The recent dispatch of Gen. DE LAMORICIERE, on a secret mission as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of St. Petersburgh, is of itself sufficiently sig nificant. The movements latterly observable among the dy nastic refugees whether at Ems or Claremont, at Hastings or Coblentz, are again not unworthy of observation. The apparent recognition . of the Republic by NICHOLAS, and a variety of other equally remarkable occurrences all coincide in affording some colour of reason to the hints and inuendoes thrown out by the different journals of Paris. One of these journals boldly puts forward the alternative of a Return to Monarchy, or a Retention of Republicanism. Another insinuates that the time has at length arrived for the upholders of the former policy to take the intiativf. Another has ,gone still further, and has explicitly declared that the formation of a new Cabinet will very speedily be announced through the official medium of the illoniteur—a Cabinet in which the arch-supporters of the monarchical creed will occupy the most conspicuous positions—where the President ship of the Council (without portfolio) will be en trusted to M. MOLE ; where M. TIUERS will be Minister of the Interior; M. DE FALLOUX, Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. DE MONTALEPABBRT, Minister of Instruction ; Ger,. RULHIERES, Minister of War ; and Admiral CECILE, Minister of Marine. How far the assertion may be with or without foundation can be only dimly and indistinctly imagined. Were the appointments veritably made and officially pub lished, they would only be the means to an end, the beginning of a conclusion, the initial of a daring movement which could only terminate in the annihi lation of the conspirators, or in the proclamation before the great door of the cathedral church of Notre Dame by the heralds and trumpeters of " The Most High, Mighty, and Puissant Prince NAPOLEON 111., Emperor of the French." Then the compact with Russia would have to be completed—and time might show that the dream of NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER might be realised by their successors—that the Treaty of 'Tilsit, after the lapse of forty years, might be re sumed as the basis of a new compact—that conti nental Europe might be shared between the two Emperors at the mutual sacrifice of Austria and Turkey—the second city of imperial France being Rome—the second city of imperial Russia being Constantinople. Yet, before all this can be accomplished, thirty millions of Frenchmen have to be trodden down into submission. A great nation which has been once endowed with the perftct freedom afforded by the ballot and universal suffrage can no longer be cajoled into obedience to a new despotism. It must be conquered by the musket and the howitzer, by the sword and the bayonet. Let the Legitimists remember this as a political truth, that—Even the white banner would have to pass through such oceans of blood before it could tri umph, that in the end a Red Flag would be found waving over the Tuileries. In consequence of the sudden demise of JAMES PATTISON, E-q , one of the Alernbers for the metro polis, another vacancy occurs in the repre sentation of the city of London. Although the intelligence of the vacancy has only been received within the last few hours, we understand that a very large and most influential portion of the electors have already appended their signatures to the following requisition. Party feel ing for once has been entirely overlooked in consideration of the probity, the ability, and the many other noble and admirable qualities which have already secured to the Right Hon. Sir JAMES DUKE, the first magistrate of the first city in the world, the esteem and respect of his fellow-citizens. The following is the requiEition : " London, July 16, 1849. "Impressed with the opinion that the personal cha ricter and commercial experience of the Right llon. Sir James Duke, the Lord Mayor of the City of London, combined with his business habits, and his long ac quaintance with public affairs as a Member of the House of Commons, eminently qualify him for the representa- tion of the various interests of this City in Parliament ; " We, the undersigned electors, do hereby request his Lordship to allow himself to be put in nomination to fill the vacancy occasioned by the demise of our late worthy representative, James Pattison, Esq." Electors, of all classes of society, have already, during the course of the past forenoon, eagerly signed the foregoing document, as indicative of their regard for the LORD MAT OR, and of their appreciation of his eminent qualities, as a high civic functionary, as a brother- citizen, as a man perfectly familiarized with mercantile affairs, and as one who has acquired con siderable experience as a Member of the House of Commons. London could not have a better representative. Among the many measures relating to Ireland which have been recently brought before Parliament, there are few calculated to produce more valuable results than the Judgments Bill, which was read a second time, and passed through Committee pro forma on Friday evening. It is, in fact, a necessary supplement to the Incumbered Estates Bill. There would be but little advantage in getting rid of an embarrassed proprietary, andinfusing new vitality into the land by the introduction of capital, if the causes that contributed in a great degree to those embarrassments were still suffered to exist, and to produce a new series of incumbrances as injurious to the national prosperity as those now in operation. Every possible precaution should be taken to prevent the recurrence of similar evils, and the first and most obvious proceeding is to remove the extraordinary facilities at present' afforded for charging and incum bering lands and premises for small amounts. The law of judgments in Ireland differs very ma terially from that in force in this country. Here, a judgment is never regarded as a permanent security on which capital may be safely invested, and which may be retained as a charge upon real estates during successive generations. The property of the party against whom a judgment has been obtained is nut in any degree affected thereby, until execution has been actually issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff, or a bill filed in Chancery, to make his real estates liable to the payment of the debt. Neither can the judgment be transferred or assigned over ; it can only be enforced by the party by whom it was originally obtained. If a capitalist desired to invest money on the security of land, a mortgage was obtained in which the nature of the contract and the terms of redemption were fully set forth, and under which the lands speci fied in the mortgage-deed were alone responsible. But in Ireland a judgment constituted the very best security that could be obtained. All the real and per- sonal property of the Common or person confess. ing the judgment, not only in possession, but to which he might become entitled at any future period, became subject theretofrom the moment of its entry. It could be readily assigned, and all the rights belonging thereto transferred to the assignee, at a trifling expense; and in case of default a receiver could at once be obtained on a petition to A court of equity.! ►lt possessed, therefore, many advantages not belonging to a mort gage ; and, in fact, no mortgages or other charges on land were ever aceepted, unless accompanied by a col lateral judgment or judgments. It may easily be conceived what opportunities and inducements were afforded under such a system to create a number of small incumbrances. The Irish gentry are, and have been, proverbially a thoughtless and imprudent race, ever ready to incur new liabi lities and to obtain loans for present exigencies, on any terms, however disadvantageous or ruinous to their future prospects. The facilities for obtaining small sums were not suffered to remain dormant. Persons who would rather undergo some trifling in convenience than submit to the delays and expenses of raising money by a formal mortgage of their pro perty, were quite ready to " confess a judgment." There is, we believe, but little doubt that fully one half of the incumbrances affecting Irish estates are ascribable to the state of the law with respect to judgments, and that the vast extent of property now under the control and management of receivers of the Court of Chancery—the worst pos sible landlords—is owing to the same cause. Under such circumstances, when one•sixth of the entire soil of Ireland is in the hands of receivers— when more than 2,000,0001. sterling is annually drawn from land, no portion which can be applied to the improvement thereof, however obvious the advantages of the expenditure—no doubt can exist as to the correctness of the opinion of the distinguished Judge who now so ably presides over the Court in Ireland, " that it is a matter of public policy to render judgments unpopular securities for money," and that " the present law operates most injuriously on the interests of an embarrassed and improvident people." A great and comprehensive change is essential to the welfare and prosperity of the nation. But when the enormous amount of money, and the magnitude of the interests involved in the question are taken into consideration, it will also be manifest that the utmost caution must be observed in dealing with existing interests. It would clearly be unjust to lessen the value of the securities on the faith of which so many persons have advanced their money. There will, therefore, be no inter ference with judgments now in force, which will be exempted from the operation of the present Bill, and the greater portion of which, it is to be hoped, will he liquidated under the provisions of the Incumbered Estates Act; but all future judgments will be affected, so as to prevent the possibility of the nation relapsing into its present condition, if it should happily be ex tricated from difficulties by judicious legislation. The first and most obvious precaution is to prevent the assignment of judgments henceforward. When judgments are only valid in the hands of the Conuzee, or party by whom it was originally recovered, or of his or her personal representatives, there will no longer be a temptation to keep those securities so long alive. We shall not, as at present, find judgments sub sisting that had been obtained against a former pos sessor of the property some eighty or a hundred years previously, and which constitute formidable diffi culties in the way of making clear and unobjectionable ti. ties to the lands; if brought into the markets for sale when no longer assignable, the great inducement to resort thereto will ba removed. The practice of raising money by confessing judgments will receive a heavy blow and great discouragement, and a salutary diffi culty will be thrown in the way of creating new incumbrances affecting Irish property. The second point to be attained by the present Bill is to prevent judgments from attaching on, or becoming charges upon lands, until they have been actually placed in the hands of the sheriff for recovery This salutary enactment will get rid of one of the chief difficulties in the way of making out a title to estates, and a cause of great and unnecessary expense in the transfer of landed property. It will also ren der judgments unavailing as permanent securities, and remove the dangerous facility that now exists for creating new incumbrances. The last, and by no means the least important provision of this excellent measure, will be to take away the power of appointing receivers for sums less than 1501. Under the present system, a receiver can be appointed to enforce pay ment of any judgment, however small, and in many instances the costs of the proceedings greatly exceed the amount of the original debt. A fearful instrument of oppression is thus placed in the hands of creditors, who are able, by means thereof, to extort usurious interest from their unfortunate debtors, as a premium for forbearance. It is also notorious that many unprincipled attorneys speculate in small judgments, which they purchase, and take assign ments of, in order to make heavy costs in addition to the sum actually due. We confess that we would greatly prefer that the power of appointing receivers for judgment debts should be altogether taken away, as the Solicitor-General proposed, and that thus there should be no inducement whatsoever to advance money on that species of security. A difference of opinion, however, existed on that subject, and as it was exceedingly desirable that there should be perfect unanimity, so as to ensure the passing of the Bill during the present session, the Solicitor-General re linquished his own opinion, and consented to the limitation of the power in cases where at least 1501. should be due on foot of the judgment. This will, at least, prevent a considerable proportion of the cases of oppression where the poorer class of debtors were entirely ruined under the present law. On the whole, the measure will effect a great improvement in the existing system, and will be productive of the. most beneficial results in the sister kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The llioniteur of Saturday has the following : " The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fol lowing report to the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " Monsieur lo President,—The deplorable events of the 13th June last have raised serious dissension in the 7th Legion of the National Guard of Paris. A great number of officers have considered it their duty to resign their ranks, in the idea that it was impossible that the Legion should not be dissolved and reorganized. The Government, in fact, considers that measure as indispens able, which is called for by common accord by the Ge neral Commandant-in-Chief of the National Guard, the Prefect of the Seine, and the Mayor of the 7th Arron dissement. An organic law on the National Guard will besides shortly be presented to the Legislative Assem bly; the 7th Legion may therefore in a short time be reconstituted under the provisions of that new law. I have, in consequence, the honour to beg that you will approve of the annexed decree. Accept, &c., (Signed) "J. DUF.►URE." The PRESIDENT of the Republic has, on the above report, ordered the dissolution of the 7th Legion of the National Guard of Paris. The Committee appointed to examine the projet de loi relating to the press, has determined to report in favour of it. The Journal des _Wats gives the following compa rative statistics of the Paris elections in .May and in July— •'TThe results of the elections of July bare just been seen. In comparing the figures at present with those of May 13 and 14, we find— _ _ May 13. July 8. Electors inscribed ... 378 u 43 372,800 Voters ... ... 281,140 234,588 Suffr4ges reckoned ... 275,642 233,901 Thus 46,552 electors, who had taken part in the vote of May, abstained in July. The votes obtained in May by 'he first eleven candidates selectrd le the list of the Union bad given a total of 1,304 596 ; in July the •lev, n candidates of that list had 1.315.873 votes, or 11,277 more than in May. This is a smaller number t>l voters. The list of the Union obtained more votes to July than it had done in May. In May the first - andinate elected from tho list or the Union, M. Lucie , _ Niurat, had obtained 134,825 votes, whereas M. Ledru Etollin, the first candidate chosen from the socialist list, 130,070. In July M. Lanjuinais, the first candi late elected from the Union, obtained 127,556 votes; Goudehaux, the first candidate of the socialist list, dad only 103,602 votes, and is not elected. %ire have said that the total of the votes obtained at present by the ekven candidates of the Electoral Union was 1,315,873; the eleven candidates of the socialist list who obtains d :the greatest number of votes only furnish a total of 991,014 votes. These two amounts give an average of about 120,000 votes for each candidate of the Union, ard a little more than 90,000 for each socialist candidate." It is reported that in consequence of serious dis. turbances which have taken place at the Polytechnic School, that celebrated institution is dissolved. One f the students, who was accused by his fellow students of having befn the principal cause of the arrest of 1%1. LEON LABAUNE, who was last year the head of the Ateliers Nationaux, has ever since been sent to Coventry" by his companions, and subjected to all manner of indignities. This affair has given rise to such serious discontent and disturbance, that the Government has been obliged to take the matter up, and ultimately to dissolve the school. The mea sure is a harsh one, but it will not be of long endue ranee. It will shortly be re-organized, merely leaving • it the names of the principal rioters. Tf e Salut Public of Lyons gives the following account of a dreadful inundation which had just taken e A St. Etienne and the neighbourhood : "On the evening of the 10th, a violent thunder storm, succeeded by a waterspout, suddenly inundated the village of La Republic. In ten, minutes a stream, called the Furens, which passed through St. Etienne, was swollen into a perfect torrent, carrying before it everything which impeded its progress. The streets o' St. Etienne were completely inundated, and a great quantity of property of various kinds swept away by the torrent. Several persons lost their lives. At La Ba douillire a house was washed down, and a whole family buried beneath its ruins. The torrent was so rapid, that although not more than four feet deep, no one could stqnd against it. In the quarter of St. Louis, a fire broke out in consequence of the bursting of a gas pipe; it burnt, however, but a short time, as it was extinguished by the rush of water. A cal. in the Place de l'llatel de Ville, was completely washed away. A pyramid erected on the north side of Mont Pilat, in commemoration of the birth of the King of Rome, was struck by the lightning and considerably damaged. Tho dyeing establishments at Valbemoite have been seriously injured and much property destroyed. The inundation lasted for about an hour. Ten bodies have already be en found, but it is expo cted that the loss of lives will amount to thirty. More than 1,000 families have suffered more or less loss. The garrison at St. Etienne exerted themselves with the most praiseworthy courage, and it was only owing to their exemplary con duct that the damage done was not much greater than it is." In several departments the elections are finished, and the following s the result : ButreuEs Du RHONE —General Rulhieres, 35,000; M. Dupont (de l'Eure), 17,000. tjALVADOS,—M.

On the sth our army was completely estahli. hed at Rome, and owing to the energetic measures taken by the General-in-Chief perfect order was maintained. Our soldiers were well received by the Roman population, who were wearied with the regime of terror which weighed on them. The troops occupied all the positions which command the town, and no fear with respect to public tranquiliity was entertained. At nine o'clock in the morning of the sth they replaced the Roman garrison of the Fort St. Angelo. The national guard and earibineers were doing the service of patrols in conjunction with our troops of infantry and cavalry.

Mazzini was not with him, as was at first stated, but had taken refuge, with General Avezzana and Prince Canino (Bonaparte) on board the English steamer, the Bulldog, which has conveyed them to Malta. When the French entered Rome there only remained 10,000 or 12,000 organized troops." Rumours were yesterday prevalent in Paris of a most extraordinary character. It is known that in August the Legislative Assembly will adjourn for two months, and during this interregnum a bold attempt, it is said, is to be made to destroy the Republic. The Siecle thus describes the intrigues which are said to be carrying on for this purpose : " A legislative interregnum has been at all times fa ♦ourable for ministerial intrigues. We do not yet know what great project 14 in view for the adjournment about to be proposed, but we believe that a complete change of Ministers, long looked forward to, is at length re- cognised to be inevitable. Meetings, communications, and negotiations have been CO numerous, and matters are matured to that point, that we should not be surprised to read in the Moniteur this very day the following ap pointments:— M. Mo'6, President of the Council, without portfolio. "M. Thiers i Minister of the Interior. " M. do Fallour, Foreign Affairs. " M. Benoit d'Azy, Finances. " M. Napoleon Darn, Public Works. " M. Baroche, Justice. " M. de Montalembert, Public Instruction. " M. Rulhieres, War. " Admiral Cecile, Marine. "M. de Morny,Commune. " This we admit to be a curious list, but really we think it better that the principal actors who have been so long behind the curtain *build come at once upon the stage." General CHANGARNIER is, it is said, opposed to this combination, and the PRESIDENT of the Republic hirriaelf is said not altogether to favour it. The Legi timists and parti pretre are likewise waxing exceei ingly bold. The Corsaire and the Assemblie Nationale openly advocate a restoration of monarchy, and the old Monarchists are everywhere being ap pointed to offices in the provinces. Among them are several partisans of LOUIS PHILIPPE, and several whose monarchical opinions were of so ultra a character, that under the ORLEANS regime they were considered as unfit for office. The Liberte, in a leading article headed "Republic or Monarchy," thus exposes the designs of the Monarchists : " The question is now laid down, as it were, of itself; there can be no longer any illusion on the subject. Be fore the last elections it was thought that the enemies of the Republic would have pitience to wait. It was thought that, after all their professions in favour of the honest and moderate Republic, they would have had the decency not to bring such a question on the tapis, how ever, it might have linked in their feelings. Six months ago we proved beyond contradiction that the adherents of the late dynasty had been thrust into every place, and were in full possession of power, to enable them with greater facility to destroy the Republic, and while they were pretending to be its defenders." And having proceeded in this strain, it appends to its leader the following postscript : " Large sums of money had for some time been ex pending in the restoration of the domain of Chambord, and there is great activity employed to render it worthy of the habitation of a prince. Does this restoration in dicate one of another sort?" The Assemble Nationale has the following, which will certainly not tend to allay the fears of the Re publicans : " Many correspondents of both English and French journals occupy themselves with certain interviews and negotiations, undertaken with the view of solving some points of the highest policy attached to the governmen tal situation of France. Hence conjectures, reproaches, and insults. Sad avowal this on the part of the Repub licans ! If their principles be so powerful, why trouble themselves on the point ? We believe all conjectures premature. In the present state of France every act of conciliation and good understanding ought to be ap placcled. But while we approve of what is good and just, there are, we must say, other matters of a more pressing character. The revolutionary spirit that Common enemy —must he repressed and put down. Every work is composed of parts. Ono must precede the other, and why trouble ourselves about the fut ure w hen we have universal suffrage to repair, sanction, and legalist. ? What we want tc-day . is complete victory over anarchy, with the c onecration of the following prinetple:—‘ France, legally represented, can do w h at she pleases, for she is sovereign. Should any attempt at a restoration be made, a terrific civil war would be the consequence. The Et( publican party is strong even in the army and it would resist to the last ; no attempt to change the form of government in France could be accomplished without terrific bloodshed. The PorE has sent the following letter in reply to an address presented to him from the municipal cJuncil of Marseilles : " Dear Sons,—Salutation and Apostolic Benedicti on , —The piety and de crence which you profess for us and for the apostolic see, in concert with the illustrious French nation, have manifested themselves in a parti cular m .nner under the deplorable circumstances which removed U 3 from It , Ane and subjected us to the most severe tribulations. We, therefore, accept with grati tude the duty which you wish to perform towards us at this time, and we thsnk you for consoling our suffer ings and our ails ctions by the expression of the religious feeling which animates you in such a high degree. Confiding in the Almighty, who wounds and heals, who, while permitting tin a-• adversities, would not shake the faith, but only put it to the proof, we have never ceased day and night humbly to implore his Divine assistance; but we fear that he will one day punish by some public calamity the disorders of the city of and the injuries done to the Church. It is for that, dear sons, that you should persevere more than ever in praying to the Lord to turn his indignation from the Christian world, and to establish peace and tran quillity. And we give you tenderly, end horn the bottom of our heart, to you and to youe lellow-citizens the apostolic benediction, 83 a presage of the Divine protection, and as testimony of the love which we bear towards you, " Done at Gaeta, the 10th of June, in the third year of our Pontificate.

PRUSSIA. Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the lath. The armistice with Denmark, if ratified, will last for six months, and for six weeks additional, should a peace not be concluded within that period. So soon as the ratifications are exchanged orders will be issued to the Confederate troops, including the Schleswig-Holsteiners, to evacuate Jutland, and retire within the line of demarcation agreed upon. What this line is is kept a secret for the moment, for evident reasons. So soon as it shall be notified to the Danish commanders that this clause has been fulfilled the blockade will be raised, but not before; and Danish steamers as well as land telegraphs will instantly announce the event. The trade will be completely free in about 14 days. AUSTRIA.

Radstadt still holds out. HO BLAND. THE HAGUE. JULY 13.—8 y reason of the war between Germany and Denmark, our relations with Holland are entirely interrupted. The numerous parties who are interested therein have made a great many remonstrances, and have demonstrated that vessels bearing the postal dispatches ought to be ex empt from the blockades; but all their protestations have been useless ; the required permission has not been obtained for our vessels. The French, on the other hand, have been more successful, and the Havre steamers—even those which are not in regular service—have obtained permission to enter Ham burgh. The Minister of Justice has signified his inten tion of resigning his portfolio, in consequence of ill health. The Second Chamber of the States General has not favourably entertained the project of law rela tive to the domains of the Crown, and demands that the Chamber shall have the administration of them. This demand the Government has refused, but in order to arrive at an amicable arrangement it has so far moderated the primary project that the costs of the administration shall be raised from the domains, the administration itself be regulated by a Royal de cree, and the administration be bound to make an annual report to the Minister of Finance. AMSTERDAM, JULY 13.—Tun BOURSE.—lnland funds were firm to-day, but there was not much ani mation in business generally. Spanish and Portu guese were again offered at a depreciation. French funds were steady. No business of importance in any other stock.—Dutch Papers July 13. TURKEY. A letter in the Allgemeine Zeitung, dated June 20, says:-- _ _ The presence at Constantinople of the Hungarian agent, Baron Splenyi, as also that of other Magyar and Polish emissaries, has given rise to lively explanations between the Porte and the Austrian Internuncio. Count Sturmer openly intimated to Ali Pacha that the moment he ascertained that the Ministers of the Porte were in communication with those emissaries he should cease all relations with the Divan. This declaration seems to have taken effect, the Porte having notified to Baron Splenyi, who had secretly procured the seal of an Hun garian Envoy, that he was immediately to leave Con stantinople." The same journal says— " The Sultan has sanctioned the decision of the Council which refuses to grant a passage via Servia to the Austrian troops. This decision has been commu nicated to the representatives of the two Powers. " The Porte protests against the entry of the Russian troops of Moldavia and Wallachia into Transylvania. It declares that it will oppose, by force of arms, the return of those troops to its own territory. "The armaments continue. A reserve corps has been formed in Bosnia, and the Turks are prepared for every contingency. " Eight thousand Russian troops had disembarked at Ackermann, coming from Sebastopol to replace the corps of General Luders, which has quitted Wallachia for Cronstadt," ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 6th. The Concordia says no Roman will speak to the French, and if a Frenchman enter a cafe it is immediately deserted. Hatred of their invaders is painted on every face. The French are obliged to be on their guard, many having already been found dead. On the 6th PELLEGRINI and AVEZZtNO arrived by steamer at Leghorn on their way to France. MAzziNl, it is said, intends coming to England; and it was reported that GARIBkLDI was anxious to go to America. SAFI is not with the other Triumvirs. OUDINOT has caused all the Roman troops to take the oath of submission to the French authorities. Ge deral LEVAILLANT is appointed provisional'commander of Rome, with Colonel PONTERO as second in com mand. The state of siege is strictly enforced. The Roman Deputy, CERNUSCIII, has been arrested by the French authorities. The arrest took place at the time that CERNUSCHI was walking arm-in•arm with M. BONAPARTE, the cousin of the President of the French Republic. The Opinione states that the American Consul has left Rome in consequence of differences with the French authorities. Several of the French soldiers have been assassinated. Monsignor SAYELLI, the Pontifical Legate in the Legations. has published a decree, awarding one fourth part of the property of every person convicted of a political offence to the informer. This is one of the first fruits of the resto ration of the priests to power. DEATH Or JAMES PATTISON, ESQ., M.P.—Our obituary conveys the unexpected intelligence of the death of one of the City's Representatives in Parliament. Mr. Pattison, it appears, died at Molesey Grove, near Hampton Court, on Saturday last. The deceased gen tleman, who was born in 1786, belonged to a family that has for generations held a very high commercial rank, and he himself was a Director of the Bank of England at his death, and had filled the honourable post of Governor. Ile represented the city of Le.ndon in the Parliaments of 1835 and 1837, but was unsuccessful at the general election in 1841. He was, however, re elected in 1843, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sir Matthew Wood, and again retained his position at the last general election in 1847. Mr. Horace Smith died at Tunbridge Wells on Thursday morning. He was a man of a correct taste and the most generous sympathies, a delightful writer both in verse and prose, a cheerful and wise companion, and a fast friend. No man had a wider range of admir able and genial qualities ; and far beyond that private circle, of which he was the great charm and ornament, his loss will be deeply felt. To those who had the ad • vantage of his friendship, it is irreparable. His health had given way during the last few months, and the end was not unexpected. He was in his 70th year, but had preserved to the last his love for the enjoyments of youth, and took part in all honest mirth, with the simplicity and gaiety of a child. The disorder of which he died was ossification of the heart. IRISH DISTRESS. —THE MUNSTER. CONNAUGHT PLAN. —Nothing more powerfully shows how much it is within the means of the Irish landlords to alleviate the prevalent distress by careful and timely action, than the exertions made in the county of Cavan, by Mr. H enry Sargent, J.P., the agent to the Marquis of Headfort. The Cavan paper contains a kng account of the working of Mr. Sargent's plan. He begun in October la s t, b y raising a voluntary ra te in the division of Munster- Connaught. This Lmounted to 2221, half contributed by the landlord, and half by the tenant. With this he employed the able-bodied men in drainage works, re ducing the wages as the demand for agricultural labour increased. At the last Spring Assizes he prevailed on the poor-law guardians to contract for the repair of the roads, and on them he employs both men and women, so as to avoid out-door relief. He ha 3 thus reduced the ay. rage weekly rates from 141. 7a. 3d. to 2/. 4s. 7d., being 1/. is. 81, for out-door relief, and 1/ 2s. I Id. for in-door relief. By the exertions of Mrs. Sargent, of Eighter, the women have further be en em plo3ed in kni , ti-g at d other useful works. T 1 e same syst-m has been adopted in Virginia, and the saving is la. weekly. At the Cavan a‘sizes, on the sth, it was extended to the divisions of Castleraghan and Termon.

In pig iron a still further reduction was submitted to than in manufactured. Holders and markets seemed anxis , us to realise, if' possible, on almost any terms, and offers were pressed without finding purchasers. A few specu lative lots changed hands at prices varying from 50e. to 60s. per ton. Throughout the week gloom and diseatis faction have prevailed, and it is supp ,sed that the aggre- ' gate amount of business transacted has not been so small upon any similar occasion since Midsummer, 1843. It would be difficult to quote the absolute prices, as each maker seems to consult only his own neces sities ; but we believe that merchant-bars and nailrods have been sold as law as 5/., and pigs at 455. per ton. The present circumstances afford certainly a most discouraging prospect, and the business that otherwise might be done to a small extent, is prevented by feelings of distrust as to the future; these, we hope, a few days' reflection will dis sipate, and trade will assume a more settled aspect. A permanent return to remunerative prices cannot be expected during the present summer or autumn; but there existed no unavoidable necessity for the precipi tate haste with which the present low figures have been adopted. One firm has already succumbed to the pressure of events. They have been known to have been struggling under difficulties for some time, with the hope of retrieving their liabilities; but the lung succession of downward movements, and the now ruin ous position of the trade, have at once blighted every endeavour, and rendered further effort useless. Three furnaces are thus put out of work, and their production, as well as the employment they afforded, withdrawn. Many others are being blown out, as the only alternative to escape a similar wreck." This is certainly a gloomy picture; but we share with the writer the hope that matters may speedily improve. The directors of the Union Bank of Australia this day declared the usual dividend of six per cent. per annum, with a bonus of ss. per share. The report was satisfac tory, and highly cheering as to the state of the colony. The steamer has arrived with late accounts from the United States and Canada. In the Stock market at New York up to the 3d inst. there was no material variation in the value of Stocks, the market not being so active. Prices had reached a comparatively high point, and this operated as a check, the European demand having at the same time fallen off. There had been a brisk demand for sterling Exchange for remittance, on account of the semi annual interest paid on Government Stock, and it was expected that this would continue, and that a further rise would occur, the current rates being 1081 to 1091. The value of imports into New York was, during the week preceding the date of our present advices, 1,278,274 dollars, being greater than in any correspond ing period for three years previously, with the exception of 1847. Nearly one half of the aggregate im portation of the week was in dry goods, and for some time an increase is expected in the imports, owing to the fall trade. Many parties conceive that they will be large and we only hope they may not be overdone. The shipments of breadstuffs from the States to Great Britain continued active, having since September last been as follows: Flour, Meal, Wheat, Corn, bls. bls. bush. bu•h.

These quantities, it will be perceived, are very heavy compared with last year, and some American writers contend that even if the harvest in Great Britain proves an average, the demand for United States breadstuffs will not experience any important reduction, the state of prices enabling shipments to be made readily from the other side. This is, of course, the reasoning of inte rested parties. Concerning the Californian gold product, there is no falling off in the actual amount obtainable ; but the symptoms of anarchy and the severe labour required at the "diggins" render the chances of an excessive supply more remote. From Canada we have dates of June 30. In the Montreal market, best brands Flour was 20s. 9d.; for superfine Wheat, 4s. 6d.; for Upper Canada and Ame rican freight to Liverpool, 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d.

The colonization of Sonora, said to be a rich gold district, was contemplated by the Mexican Government. The roads of Vera Cruz were perfectly safe again. Accounts of October 4th, from Fort Simpson, in the Hudson's Bay territory, state that eighteen men of tht. expedition in search of Sir J.

The " Una voce poco fa," was a perfect triumph, and excited a complete furore ; for delicacy, for brilliancy, and more especially for correctness of intonation, Sontag stands unrivalled ; so far as the compass of her voice goes, she is the most perfect vocalist that perhaps the world has ever seen. Rode's air in the second act also excited the most intense enthusiasm, the applause was rapturous with which that most marvellous second variation was greeted. We do not believe that any human voice is, or ever has been, capable of surpassing in flexibility, in correctness of intonation and in brilliancy of exe cution, the voice of Madame Sontag in this most sparkling of musical gems—it was the acme of bril liant and florid vocalization. In the concerted m usic, also, she was most admirable ; the duets with Beletti and with Lablache were not only sung, but acted with great spirit ; and the concluding soma, in which Madame Sontag, Lablache, Beletti, and Gardoni ell take part, was given in a manner in which, as a whole, it could not be given on the stage of an/ lyric theatre in Europe—there was not a single weak part in it, and its performance elicited the most rap' turous applause. Madame Sontag, in the Buona sera scene with Basilio, acted with a delightful naiveté, with the least possible dash of lady' like coquetry, which was perfectly charming ; and in the trio Piano! piano! with Gardoni and Be!etti, the pure tones of her beautiful bird-like voice were heard to the greatest perfection. It is one nf the great charms of Madame Sontag's style of acting that she infuses into every part she represents a lady' like gracefulness, which, without weakening the force of the character, adds greatly to its interest. This is more particularly the case with the part of Rosins- The Rosier' of Madame Sontag is lively, arch, taut soit peu coquette, yet ladylike withal. The liveliness, the archness, and the coquetry, are those of a high - bred girl, of one who has a right to look forward to be a Countess. When Sontag acts the part we are not surprised at the desire of Count Almavicgt to make Rosina his wife. Gardoni, who seals to have quite recovered from his recent indisposition , sang the music of Count Alrnaviva with great svvf et' ness and expression. Beletti, most spirited of Buffo' was full of gaiety and spirit as Figaro, and Lablaelle, as Bartolo was the most superb o f D oc t ors . Great praise is due to Balfe for his manner of conducting this opera, and to the orchestra for the effective 11 in which they performed the m us i c o f thi s t h e most brilliant of the compositions of Rossini, se' perhaps the only opera buffa in the worl d which depends as much upon the or c h es t ra as u pon tb, singers for its proper interpretation. N o thi ng cauld be better than the performance of the orchestra ell Saturday evening, every nuance of the music was COt:" rectly appreciated, and the lights and shades beauty fully brought out. At the conclusion o f e ach ac e Madame Sontag and the principal p er f orme rs vier, ' called and greeted with enthusiastic applause se i , showers of bouquets. We d o no t d escr ib e t h e c row ing before the opening o f th e doors, the crush at t be opening, nor the manner i n which the theatre / VP' crammed to suffocation.
