Louis BLANC in reference to our strictures upon his new periodical, and upon its edi tor M. TREHONNAIS. Before, however, we attempt any analysis whatever of his arguments, we must be permitted to remark upon the striking difference of tone perceptible between the observations of M. LOUIS BLANC and those penned by M. TREIIONNAIS —the former characterised by the incoherent violence of irritation, the latter marked by the calmness of a logician and the composure of a gentleman. From the petulance of some sentences, from the abusive epithets in others, and from the exaggerated rhetoric with which the entire epistle is brought to a conclu sion, we presume that M. Louis BLANC has a profound ignorance of even the most ordinary peculiarities of respectable journalism in Eng land. Whatever may be the custom else where, in this country a journalist is habituated neither to slander others for the gratifica tion of a prejudice (as M. LOUIS BLANC appears to in sinuate)—nor to rake out calumnies from the ordure of any literary cesspool (as M. Louis BLANC very delicately asserts)—nor to refuse admission to the reply of an individual whose principles may have been assailed (as M. Louis BLANC evidently conjec tured when he wrote his very spasmodic appeal in the name of Justice, of Truth, and of our own Honour). While we simply and briefly, yet most emphatically and peremptorily, repudiate in the name of English journalism the charge implied in the word " calumny"—while we repel this accusation, in the very act of pointing to the course diurnally pursued by ourselves and our Contemporaries, whether Conservative, Whig, or Radical—we may, perhaps be allowed to say that The Sun is not exactly thZ organ in which a refugee could encounter gratuitous discourtesies or wilful misrepresentations. In dis proof of this, we may surely, with a very pardonable complacency, direct attention to that popular Testi monial, the particulars of which are published every evening in our columns, a Testimonial which we are proud to think was immediately originated by our selves. As to the refined and gentlemanly manner in which M. LOUIS BLANC alludes to a quotation made by us from Mr. COBJEILAN'S " History of the Na tional Constituent Assembly" (page and volume mentioned), when he (M. Louis BLANC) exclaims, " Now what shall be said of this anecdote, gathered from the FILTH of I know not what libellous production"—we shall content ourselves with inform ing him that the work in question is an able narra tive in two volumes, issued from the establishment of not only one of the most respectable, but one of the most eminent publishers in Great Britain—Rionenn BENTLEY, Publisher in Ordinary to her _Majesty- A gain as to the doubt somewhat coarsely expressed by M. Louis Bnexc, lest we should disingenuously refuse to give insertion to his communication, we rest satisfied with the circumstance that the letter, according to our invariable custom a custom founded upon the old axiomatic expression audi alteram portent, is printed in another portion of this very evening's impression. And in testimony of the fact that English publicists are not in the habit of perversely garbling the words of an antagonist, we eagerly transcribe into another column the passages from the " New World," which M. LOUIS BLANC conceives we shall fear to do, and which he consequently challenges us to do, by the most sacred terms of adjuration. We eagerly tran scribe these passages in our present impression (not -withstanding the inconvenience accruing therefrom in consequence of the extreme value of our space), and we transcribe them thus eagerly not because we would yield to the defiance of our correspondent, but because we would furnish the most signal disproof of his assertions, and the most conclusive refutation of his arguments. Aware that we might rest contented with merely referring the public to that letter and that quotation, in testimony of the accuracy of our assertion in regard to M. LOUIS BLANC'S "Monthly Review," we shall never theless be doubtless excused , toad the circumstance, for o ff ering on our own par few additional and elueidative observations. We have asserted, and still:assert, that the " New World" contains a ferocious attack upon Order, Family, and Property. M. Louis BLANC 'declares that it does not contain any attack at all upon Order, Family, and Property. That is simply the point at issue between us ; and to settle this point, a portion of the first article in the new publication —a portion selected by M. LOUIS BLANC. himself—beginning at page 7, and ending at page 10, is printed in extenso in The Sun of this evening. M. LoniaßLasic regards the quotation as one affording proof positive that the " New World" does not contain a ferocious attack on Order, Family, a nd Property. We regard it as containing p roof positive that the "New World" does contain a feroci ous attack on Order, Family, and Property. O ur t opinions as to t he meanin g of lan g ua ge are thus uei f o a i r as diametrically opposite a s our principles. Let s th e l public read dispass ionatel y the p ara g ra p hs in a and decide. Why, the very opening words of the passage are premonitory symptoms of its tendency M. Louis BLANC has been speaking of Socialism and he exclaims in a tone of scornful indignation— And against this happy necessity (namely, Social ism) what have persons presumed to invoke ? Order, Family, and Property." True he subsequently at tempts to emblazon those three sacred names on his own standard, nay, he does (as we bave aireivlY observed on a former occasion) inscribe them on his banner—but he does so after having polluted them with charges of every imaginary infamy, he does so after having blackened them with every conceivable misrepresentation, be does so after having held them up to derision and abhorrence as the symbols now a-days of imposture, atrocity, and despotism. To repeat an illustrative expression to which we have already given utterance—Yes ! M. Louis BLAric does inscribe the names of Order, Family, and Pro perty upon his political banner, he inscribes them on his banner as the consecrated vestments of the priesthood are borne on the shoulder s of a rioter through the midst of the orgies and ribaldries of an Insurrection. M. Louis BLArlc, a panegyrist of Order, Family and Property ! Why, in France, in England, in every place in which he has ever been heard of, his name has been associated with that general disorganization which is the necessary ante cedent to the establishment of Socialism ! This, for sooth, an eulogium upon Order, Family, and Pro perty ! Why every phrase is a libel, every sentence is a slander, every paragraph is a calumnious im peachment! We have insisted, and we still insist, that it is a ferocious attack upon Order to say, that now-a-days it is "the conciliation of itself with misery, prostitution, theft, and murder, with the galleys and with the scaffold !" We have insisted, and we still insist, that it is a ferocious attack upon Family to say that now-a-days it means " brutality," and " adultery," " debauchery," and " speculation !" We have insisted, and we still insist, that it is a ferocious attack upon Property to say, that now-a-days it is so distributed that, sup posing the logic of the writer to be sound, it would be by no means difficult to demonstrate within the com pass of a syllogism that the old notions respecting meum et tuum are illusive, and that it would be justi fiable to re-distribute all terrestrial possessions That there are abuses in Order, as at pre sent existing, and abuses ranging from the most petty to the most stupendous acts of despotism, is undeniable. Equally undeniable is it that Family is tarnished as an institution by many paltry vices, and occasionally by diabolical crimes— and that Property is so lamentably apportioned that in many instances the worthless are battening in th( midst of indolence and luxuries, while the indus trious are starving, and the at vi r rt r u o o p u er s t a y 7 F a a b m a i n ly do , n an ed d to penury. But to declare tb Order are uow-a- day en masse so corrupted and so execrable, is certainly, to our thinking, nothing less than a monstrous misrepresentation, and an atrocious attack on what we may term (with the most profound reverence) the Trinity of Civilization. Why, by the assertion that existing Order, Family and Pro perty are thus infamous when contrasted with some other ideal Order, Family and Property—we should be justifying a tremendous and devastating revolu tion, such as the world has not yet witnessed ; we should be goading on class against class, party against party, sex against sex; we should be inflaming passions that ought rather to be allayed, and exciting appetites that would prove insatiable. The truth is this, that we do not the less clearly than M. Louis &law perceive the evils infesting our present isti tutions, but we would REFORM, while he would DESTROY. We would reform, because we regard the wisdom of all the aggregated generations as more than the wisdom of a single age ; and because we should much less term the wisdom of the Past and the Present combined, inferior to that of one individual. He would destroy on the other hand, because by the removal of the existing system he would acquire a field for experimenting with the chimeras of his imagination. Experience appears to have taughtM.Louisßwoic nothing in the way of modifying his theories of ad ministration. Has he forgotten already that the fra ternal association of tailors in the Rue de Clichy has turned out a miserable failure ? Some explanation may be required as to the reasons from which our original condemnation of a journal published in this country by a refugee emanated. They are readily given—in fact, they may be con densed into one. Our single reason for branding the "New World" on its first appearance was—our disre lish for the creed upon which all its specious arguments were concentred—the political creed of Socialism. We loathed the bare idea of the masculine mind of England becoming inoculated with a virus that has already diseased the intelligence and corrupted the judgment of so many thousands of the French population. We were distressed to wit ness the introduction of this scheme, which is the heaviest blow levelled at all existing institutions, and we were the: more pained to witness these seeds of discontent scattered over our own country by one who was then, and is at this moment, existing under the shelter of those very institutions—the encylx of the peace, and the strength, and the glory, and the greatness, of our beloved England. We have already expressed our sentiments as to the nature and tendency of Socialism. We will, how ever, give another and more energetic definition of it —a definition given little more than a fortnight back by a Contemporary on the other side of the Atlantic, a citizen of the great Republic of the *United States. " SOCIALISM," says the New York Weekly Herald, July 31st, 1849, " IS ONLY ANOTHER TITLE FOR IRRE LIGION, ATHEISM, ROBBERY, AND SWINDLING, UNDER THE NAME OF PHILOSOPHY AND PHILANTHROPY." We by no means say that our opposition to Social ism goes to that extreme limit, but we give the fore going sentence as the opinion entertained of Socialism by a Republican of the United States. In reference to the other portions of M. Louis BLANC'S communication, we may observe that they , are eminently deserving of perusal. They are in tended to be not so much an extenuation of his principles as a vindication of his career. While acknowledging, however, that the testimonies ad duced by him are singularly and emphatically in his favour, we cannot but marvel how so innocent a person came to sneak out of France with the secrecy of a culprit—or how one so perfectly exonerated from any share in the May and June insurrections is skulking up to this instant in a land of banishment. Strange, too, is it to hear M. Louis BLANC disclaiming any connexion whatever with the insurgents of June—and yet the very next mo ment standing forward as their energetic apologist 1 We mean where be declares that none of their flags contained the inscription Pillage—although the Paris newspapers of the time, we well remember, asserted that many barricades were adorned with banners marked " Pillage et Viol!" When we find that M. Louis BLANC elsewhere speaks of M. DE LA MARTINE as his antagonist, at the very time when he is quoting that great man's evidence in his behalf— we cannot but recognise another instance of the punishment devolving upon the true hero of Fe bruary for his besetting weakness—his too eclectic sympathies. So much for M. Louis BLANC, his " New World," and his Socialism. It was stated the other day by the Limerick Chronicle, and we sincerely hope that the announce.. ment may be eventually found to rest upon a more solid foundation than frequently supports the state ments of our imaginative contemporary, that " there is every probability that Government will afford an advance for the completion of the Waterford and Limerick Railway, if not directly from the Treasury, by their influence upon British capitalists, but retain ing the mails as a guarantee." What the reasons were which influenced the Government in restricting their assistance to Irish railways to a loan of 600,0001. to the Dublin and Galway, and in disregarding the superior claims of the line in question, we are unable to state with any positive degree of certainty. Pro bably the influence of the Most Noble the Postmaster- General may have had something to do in procuring this monopoly of aid. At all events they lumped their benevolence and dropped it in the centre of the island, as if under the impression that its radiations would, as a matter of course, extend to remoter parts of the country, possessing, to say the least, equally substantial claims to consideration. Without wishing for a moment to speak disparagingly of Galwegian interests, we can see nothing approxi mating, in the remotest degree, to a superiority on their part over those of the teeming and luxuriant vallies of East Munster, and of its populous and in dustrious towns. If the exertions of the Noble Chair man of the Waterford and Limerick Company, have led to a result, fortunate alike to its shareholders and to the agricultural and commercial interests of the south of Ireland, the company ought to feel indebted to bbim in Ao s mall degree for his perseverance And moral courage. On the evening, towards the close of the past session, when the Chancellor of the Ex chequer won golden opinions from Members of every party in the House by the declaration of even the solitary instance of Treasury favour above mentioned, not a syllable was uttered in advocacy of the claims of the Munster line (which sought for but a loan of 250,0001., guaranteed on incontrovertible security) by any one of those dozen representatives whose constituents are vitally interested in its com pletion between the two important terminal cities which command two of the noblest and most commo dious estuaries in Europe. Neither county, city, nor borough Member for Waterford, Limerick, or Tippe rary, deemed it worth while to countenance the praise worthy exertions of Lord GLENGALL, in seeking to obtain fiscal assistance towards the completion of an undertaking of such paramount advantage to those localities. Their inhabitants will, we trust, be recom pensed ere long for this culpable remissness on the part of the elected guardians of their interests, by the extension of the line, and the consequent development of the resources of a region unsurpassed in fertility and natural wealth by any in the sister island. The beauties and capabilities of the smiling extent of country watered by the river Suir have fallen this summer under the observation of many English visitors who were heretofore deterred from a personal inspection by an exaggerated apprehension of the lawlessness of Tipperary. The agrarian disturbances which so long and so unhappily disgraced that fine county resulted from an insufficiency of remunerative employment to the labouring classes. This great evil is to be mainly remedied by the continuation and completion of the connecting link between the Shannon and St. George's Channel. Capital will be profitably invested in fostering the bounties of a prolific soil and genial climate, and in ameliorating the condition of an active and intelligent population, who have needed but fair treatment and encourage ment to render them contented, industrious, and or derly. A judicious outlay will be amply repaid where there is so fair a field for regeneration, and the happy consequences will be felt in an equal mea sure by the merchant, the landlord, and the peasant, t h roug h o ut no inconsiderable portion of the British to I Empire. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Constitutionnel publishes an official announce ment of the complete recovery of the PRESIDENT from his recent attack of cholerine. He yesterday pre sided over the Council of Ministers as usual. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of the EMPEROR. The PRESIDENT Of the Republic and the Ministers attended mass in the Chapel of the In va lides in honour of the occasion. The Patrie says— " It was by mistake that it was rumoured that a grand review was to take place this day. From inquiries made it appears that no solemnity of the kind is to take place, or has ever been intended. " Our readers will remember that reports were rife that this review, to be celebrated on the anniversary of NAPOLEON'S birthday, was to have been made the occasion of a coup d'etat against the Republic. After the speech of the PRESIDENT at Tours it was evident that he would not take part in any such treasonable project, and the reactionaries were therefore obliged to postpone its execution. Notwithstanding the attempts of the Constitutionnel to heal the schism existing between M. TRIERS and the parti pretre, the Univers,' the organ of the priests, continues implacable, and denounces and re nounces, in the name of M. DE MONTALBMBERT and the Jesuits, M. TRIERS and every member of his party. According to the Univers, every one who will not, like M. DE FALLOUX, justify the massacres of St,. Bartholomew, or like the wOrthy:Pathers of the League, worship the holy daggers of JACQUES CLEMENT and RAVAILLAC, is a Voltarian, excommunicated and un worthy the notice of the pious DE MONTALEMBERT, or of those excellent Trestaillons who work with him for the re-edification of religion. It is curious that the very day on which the Univers comes out with its terrible excommunication against M. THIERS ' the Constitutionnel should accuse the National of ca lumny, for hinting at the existence of the slightest schism in the ranks of the majority, and should de clare that the most complete union exists among all its members. " We will believe in the existence of this union," says the National, " when M. Thiers will show his confession tickets, and be seen at mass by the side of M. de Montalembert; or, if you like it better, when M. de Montalembert will ac knowledge himself a convert to the Voltarianism of M. Thiers—when M. Berryer shall put his signature of approval to the famous proces verbal of the Chateau de Blaye—when there shall only be amongst you zealots for Divine right, or Monarchists of July, devotees or un believers, then, and then only, shall we believe in your union." The Journal des Debats is exceedingly wrath with the Archbishop of PARIS for his letter to the Foreign Minister on the subject of Venice, a copy of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. In the course of its comments the Debats says— " When we find the Archbishop throw out that at a certain time it might have been glorious and wise to make war, we cannot but call to mind that the Pope compromised his temporal throne precisely because he would not make war. When the Archbishop declares that we live in times when war is only made for positive and immediate interests, we reply that he is unjust, for we beg to ask for what position or immediate interest did we go to Rome, and what are we likely to gain now that we are there? When, in fine, the Archbishop tells us that the rights of small states are not less sacred than those of great, does he not fear that this argument, in contestable in principle, may not be turned against the Roman expedition, and the re-establisment of the Pon tifical authority ?" The Debats - is undoubtedly right in the deductions which it draws from the ARCHBISHOP'S letter, but we do not think one whit the worse of the letter on that account. The Riforme, although seized on Monday, re appeared on Wednesday, and contained a furious attack on LAMARTINE, " whose fickle character," it says, " enervated the revolution," and who now " strikes at enemies disarmed by the law." In speaking of his recently published " History of the Revolution of February," the Reforme says— " Open any one page of this book of presumption and vanity, and you will no longer feel surprised that Lamartine has gone over to Montalembert and de Falloux, and that he calumniates the democracy. He will never pardon the party which made the revolution for having had more confidence in principles than in statesmen, and for having refused to allow itself to be personified in the Minister who directed the foreign affairs under the Pro visional Government." The editors of the Eclair of Pau and of the Re publicain du Gard, who were prosecuted by the Go vernment for sedition, have been ac q uitt e d. n i g v t f h r e o m Ai R o n o i me te General TGheneertarla aSLen of a v A A n GL Paris r! rs Paris. hrae sv i av r Soir say s— t; du " We have received information relative to the state of trade and manufactures in Paris, which announces a sensible amelioration. During the last week there have been pretty large orders, particularly from abroad, for crticles of luxury. The dealers in Rouen goods, hosiery, and colonial produce, and the cabinet-makers, have done a great deal of business. The numerous work shops in the eighth arrondissement, which had been long unoccupied, are beginning to:be filled with workmen. Commercial transactions in general are becoming more and more considerable." A murder was committed, at nine o'clock on Tues day morning, close to the barrack in the Rue Neuve de Luxembourg, by a man in independent circum stances, named MAGNIET, on a person with whom he had long lived in habits of friendship. MAGNIET approached his victim, and fired a pistol-shot through his body. The unfortunate man was conveyed to the nearest hospital, when his wound was declared to be mortal. The murderer pleads in his justifica tion that the wounded man, although advanced in years and the father of a family, had seduced MAG NIEY'S wife. Orders have been given by the Minister of Justice to commence immediately in the departments the drawing for members of the Councils. General to com pose the jury of the High Court of Justice at Ver sailles. It is supposed that the Court will assemble about the 20th of next month. M. GUIZOT is candidate for a seat in the Council- General of Calvados. The members of the Mountain in the Legislative Assembly have, in consequence of the prorogation, renewed their committee. MM. MicHEL (de Bourges), MATUIEU (de la Drome), and BAUM, have been ap pointed presidents ; ST. FEREOL, MARE, DUFRAIGAIS, and JOIG NEAU X, secretaries; AUGUST CLEMENT, treasurer, and CLIOUVY, questor. They have further appointed a sub-committee of 12 to remain in Paris in permanence during the recess. Yesterday being the Fite of the Assumption, and a strict holiday, the Bourse and public offices were closed. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, AUGUST 15.

A freehold Episcopal church, in the suburbs of Manchester, is announced in our columns to be sold by auction by Mr. Robins, on the 4th of September. It is a remarkable handsome structure, with superior accom modation for at least 1,500 persons, in an improving and exceedingly iuteresting neighbourhood, where a popular minister in a short time would secure a considerable and increasing income. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. A letter from the Polish frontiers of the 6th, which is published in the Borsenhalle of Hamburgh says — "Major -General Paul Alesandrow, of the suite of his Majesty the Emperor, as also Count Kankren, have been sent to the army in Hungary on a special mission. The former has gone to the theatre of war in the north, and the latter to the south as far as the corps of General Luders, at Bucharest. Both are said to be charged with the most positive orders to make every arrangement for an immediate termination of the campaign in Hungary. The Emperor knows too well that the season favourable for carrying on the war in Hungary with advantage ter minates with the month of August, and consequently that unless something decisive is effected by the Imperial troops within the next four weeks, it will be expedient to withraw the main portion of the army, and to be content with the occupation of some places." The Borsenhalle adds—" The immense number of troops sent by Russia against Hungary may be in ferred from the fact that not only have the Guards been sent from St. Petersburgh, but large bodies of men from the remotest parts of the Russian empire." The fourteenth Russian bulletin of the war, the substance of which appeared in the Third Edition of The Sun of last night, contains an admission with regard to the position of GEORGEY, and an account of the orders given to the Russian General THEODO• JEFF, which convinces us that GEORGEY has been the victor in the series of combats between him self and PASREWITCH, alluded to in that bulletin, and that the intelligence of the total defeat of the Great Russian army, which appeared in the Paris Presse, is true. The passage is as follows :—" The forces of GEORGEY, to the number of 30,000 men, and numerous artillery, took up a strong position on the 23d, on the heights near Miskloz, on the left bank of the Sajo. General TREODOJEFF, at the head of the 4th corps, attacked the Hungarians. GEORGEY quitted his position on the 26th, and took the direc tion of Tokay. General TREUDOJEFF received orders to give up the pursuit:' Why? Evidently because he had been so severely handled on the 23d and 24th that he could not continue it. The Hungarians have garrisoned Raab, and have oc cupied Hochstrass, Szendahelz, and Wieselburg, and have thrown a bridge over the Neutra, and in the North they have occupied Szered on the Waag. Should the Hungarians continue to advance towards the Austrian frontier, Vienna, tipper Austria and Styria would at once rise and expel the Imperialists. Su much are they alarmed lest such should be the case, that WE DEN has caused the position of Sem mering, near Vienna, to be regularly occupied by military. The Polish Gazette of Posen quotes a letter from Cracow, which states that on the 2d and 3d of August the Hungarians entered Gallicia and took possession of the districts of Wadawitz, Snaiadetz, Jaszil, and Stanislawow. _ _ It is admitted by a Russian bulletin, No. 15, pub lished at Warsaw, not only that the Magyars have entered Moldavia, with a force from 4,000 to 5,000 strong, but that they previously defeated the Russians in the pass of Ojtu, killing 40 and wounding 126 of their men. After this affair the Russians retired to Onesski in Moldavia. The NationalZeitung announces the taking of Hermanstadt by the Russians, to which the Corre spondent of Bucharest adds the following : " The post w hi c h has j u st arrived from Cronstadt, brings the sad news, that after the greater part of the Austrian army had quitted Cronstadt, to go in pursuit of the Tzeklas, the hordes of Bem, as if they had fallen from the sky or issued out of the bowels of the earth, appeared under the walls of Cronstadt. Prince OaLorr arrived at Vienna on the 10th from the head -quarters of PASKIEWITCH : he brought the intelligence of the rout of PASKIEWITCH'S army by GEORGEY. No bulletin had been published, and the Imperialists in Vienna were in a state of panic. The communications between Pesth and Vienna are entirely cut off by the Magyars, who, it was ru moured, had retaken Pesth and Buda. The army of HAYNAII, even if he should have effected his junction with JELLACRICII, is now completely isolated. HESSE CASSEL• ---- - The Cologne Gazette has the following :—" The Ministerial crisis assumes threatening proportions at Cassel. The ELECTOR did not believe that all those to whom he offered the Ministry would re fuse him their co-operation. He has dismissed his five Ministers, and for the moment he has no responsible Cabinet. The Commission of the States has declared itself en permanence. The report of the departure of the Prince is happily not confirmed, for such an illegal act would, according to Art. 7 of the Constitution, have led to the establishment of a regency. Numerous petitions have been addressed from all quarters to the Elector to make him com prehend the position in which he is placed, and to express a hope that none of those who possess the confidence of the smallest fraction of the people will endeavour, contrary to his honour, to place themselves at the head of the Administration in the room of the Ministry that have been dismissed." PRUSSIA. The Prussians shot TLEDMANN, the Commandanta Radstadt, on the 11th. RUSSIA. The town of Bogussla, in the province of Kiew, has just been visited by a fire, which commenced outside the walls, in an establishment of baths, and, being carried forward by the wind, soon gained the interior. In less than two hours 136 houses, 202 shops, 42 stores filled with corn and flour, the syna gogue, and four Jewish oratories, were consumed. SWITZERLAND. A Swiss journal states, that, in virtue of a conven tion between France and Switzerland, 107 German refugees left Bale for Strasbourg on the 7th inst. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 11th announces that the King of SARDINIA has directed that the mourning for the late CHARLES ALBERT shall last for six months. A letter from Ferrara of the 6th, published by the Statuto of Florence, states that there is great uncer tainty in the reports about GARIBALDI. Some say he re-embarked at La Mesola, with his wife and 30 fol lowers, and reached Venice ; others believe he has been arrested. The Milan Gazette of the 10th is perfectly silent on the subject. The Extraordinary Pontifical Commissioner for the four legations published a notification at Bologna on the 7th, stating that the Chamber of Commerce hav ing represented the distressing position of the mer chants of that city in consequence of late events, he has thought fit to order that all protests for bills falling due up to the 17th inst. within the four pro vinces be suspended till the 18th inst., on condition that the debtors pay the mercantile interest of the days they have been respited. Accounts were received at Bologna on the Bth that the Austrians had, on the preceding day, seized and shot the priest BASSI, one of the most eloquent preachers of Bologna. Besse, it appears, had officiated as chaplain to Gmtinlian's troops. Limon; a Lombard, who had been one of GARIBALDI'S officers, was shot at the same time as BASSI. GARIBALDI himself, it is said, has succeeded in re-embarking, and is now in Venice. TUNIS. A letter from Tunis of the 4th, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, says :—" Sir THOMAS READE, Consul- General of England at Tunis for twenty-eight years. has just died, after ..a long and painful malady, in his country house at the Maya. His funeral has been celebrated with a solemnity and pomp unexampled at Tunis, the BEY having determined that the greatest honours should be paid to the deceased as represen tative of Great Britain. The body was removed into the town in a carriage of the BEY, which was covered with mourning, drawn by six mules with funeral ornaments, and escorted by a detachment of 300 cavalry. The next day the funeral took place : two regiments with arms reversed walked on each side of the procession, and the coffin was surrounded by the clergy of the Greek Church, who officiated in the ab sence of a Protestant minister. The two Christian ministers of the Bey, MM. RATIO and BOGA, all the generals and principal officers of the Regency, all the consular corps an d a crowd of Europeans, attended the ceremony. It was an unusual thing to see the great dignitaries of the country, who so seldom go out on foot, walking slowly under a burning sun, espe cially in the fast of the Ramadan ; but the BEY never ceases to give such proofs of his tolerant principles and of his progress in international relations." The Vaut our steamer an d th e G ennaro, w hi c h con tain the unfortunate Sicilians who were concerned in the late insurrection, have returned to Tunis, hospi tality having b een re f use d them at B ona an d Algiers, as it had previously been at Malta at this place. The BEY intends to send them back to Malta, and it is to be hoped for the sake of humanity, that the English Government will put an end to their misery, either by securing for them a safe return to their own country, or by indicating a place for them to go to. Their position on board the vessels is truly dreadful, reminding one of the misery which was suffered on the raft of the Meduse. They are two hundred and fifty in number, with wives and children, and many of them are wounded or ill. It is said that M. RATIO, who has j us t b een nom i na t e d f er i c k an d Mi n i s t er o f foreign Affairs, is about to leave for Paris as Am bassador Extraordinary of the BEY, to congratulate the PRESIDENT of the Republic on his election. UNDERLAND, AUG. 13.—Wind W.S.W.—Slci. Numa Quebec. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very animated, prices of American being quoted at an ad vance of Id. per lb. since Friday; other sorts are kl. higher. There was but little offering.—Railway Shares were rather better. The Continental advices received this morning are scanty, partly in consequence of the Catholic holiday observed yesterday at Paris, &c. A Charleston journal, adverting to the progress of manufectures at the South, states— " Manufactures have entered on a new era at the South, brought about by inevitable circumstances. The enterprise which has given them birth owes nothing to legislation. The protection they have received is not due to acts of Congress. They have sprung into ex istence from natural causes, independently of en couragement, now extended and then withheld, now de pendent on the success of party, and then abandoned by a change of opinion. It is well that southern manu factures owe so little to artificial or factitious causes.' They promise, in consequence, durability. The tariffs, which afforded inordinate protection, effected all the evils of a forced production. They drew into this channel a large amount of speculative investment. They made high prices, es sential to success. None but large capitals could stand the shock, when fluctuations came in the market. and excessive competition no longer afforded remunerative returns. The northern manufactures have been sub ject to the contingencies inevitable to a system bolstered up by law. It an enumeration were made of the number of Northern establishments which have out lived the fluctuation in the amount of duties, now high tariffs and then low tariffs, now specific and then ad valorem duties, it would be seen how small a portion of the capital thus invested has survived." This is pretty nearly the history of bolstering and protection all over the world. The capital embarked may bring rich fruits (and even this is not always the case) to some parties, but the effect is merely to en tice others into the pursuit, and almost invariably to their ultimate impoverishment. The West India in terest is an example of this. Large fortunes have been made by individuals, though in too many cases extra vagant expenditure has dissipated them, and now a wholesome policy is pursued many are seriously pre judiced. Au unhealthy system must have an end, and the sooner the better. We stated yesterday what were reported to be the terms of the arrangement between the agent in Mexico of the Bonholders here, and the Government of the Republic, and they were substantially .correct; but we have now the official particulars, from the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders. The interest falling due between July, 1846, and July, 1859, to be reduced to 3} per cent. per annum, and besides the present assignments on the customs duties at Vera Cruz and Tampico, the silver duties at the Pacific ports and the tobacco revenue, the Government grants the circulation duty on the precious metals on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and the export duty on silver from ports in the Gulf of Mexico. From the American indemnity money 4,000,000 dollars will be appropriated, to provide for the three years' arrears of dividend, and to be received cut of the three remaining instalments duo from America, besides an additional 500,000 dollars as a compensation for the difference of interest given up under the present arrangement. If these conditions are not faithfully observed the creditors resume their original rights, and therefore it is manifestly the interest of the Government to make the most strenuous exer tions to fulfil their engagements. In the year 1859 a fresh arrangement will be entered into dependent on the ability of the Republic, which may then be expected to have recovered the effects of the American war. The most interesting point, probably,:is the stipulation that all moneys remitted shall be paid into the Bank of England, and be under the joint control of a :Mexican commissioner and the English Committee of Bondholders. Thus all agencies and involvements with firms will be avoided, and a large sum in commissions be saved to the Government. Some hope appears to prevail that a por tion of the 4,000,000 dollars may be remitted direct from the United States, through Messrs. Baring. The Funds are higher to-day, the effect of the Bullish account being over, but there is very little doing. Con sols 92a for Transfer, and 92i to 93 for Account. Bank Stock is firm at 1991.

Burton, Wl° were formerly extensive builders and railway contror tors; defendants were also builders in the Kent-road; CO recover the sum of 521. On the part of the plaintiffs it was proved that the defendants had admitted the debt, and offered a comPo* sition of ss. in the pound, which was refused. A verdict was given for the full amount. HAYWARD V. BOLTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 141. 55.,; defendant denied the debt, except to the amount of 71. Bs. 9d., which was paid into court, and 5L ss. for commission on sale of a carriage. The facts were these:—ln November last plaintiff' who is an ironmonger, and had a claim against de' fendant, bargained for a carriage for 1001. in liquid!: Lion of an overdue account. The carriage was no: finished at the time, but wh e n it was com pl ete d pl a intiff. requested defendant to sell it for him. It was a d v ertised for sale, but after several months was not sold. Plaintio then himself obtained a customer, and the main feature in the case was whether the defendant was entitled t ° claim for the standing and commission, the carriage having been first sold by him to plaintiff, but nev er having been removed, and eventually sold to a person sent by plaintiff, but who bought on the recommeed ly ' Lion of defendant. Mr. Hayfing of the Bazaar in Portman street, gel. evidence as to the custom. He considered the plaint iff entitled for standing and commission. Mr. THOMAS contended that under the circumstan ce ! it could not be considered that the carriage had be en left for sale on commission. Mr. NATHAN, in reply, said the custom was clear , t ill ! „ B i g ht et if a carriage was once sold, and the purchaser any time have had it, if he chose to sell again, he was liable to the usual charges of commission; at all eventh in this case, the defendant was clearly entitled to the charge for the standing (1!. 12s. 6d.). The UNDER-SHERIFF said, the jury might perhaps think the defendant entitled to one and not the other. There had not been any evidence called by plaintiff to disprove the custom, as stated on the part of the dr. fendant. The jury gave a verdict for defendant. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
