GOD be thanked ! if the military strength of Rus sian and Austrian despotism is against, the heart of England is with, the Hungarians. Our earnest ap peal in behalf of the refugees, near Folkstone, has not but that the hospitality aiiir*tl i x...a.,nd we doubt tish people will gradually and adequately betray risen in such an accumulation of contrihutions as may form an amount worthy of so noble a Testimonial. In another column will be found the commencement of a list of subscriptions in aid of the heroic Magyars—a catalogue, which already, brief as it is, embraces all classes of the community. The honest artizan and the nobleman, the representative of the middle :classes and the generous-hearted labourer— all contributing in their several proportions to assist men so deserving and so unfortunate. Having once begun this Testimonial it would only be right for those individuals who sympathise in its object—and WO believe there are thousands who do so, not merely in the metropolis but in the provinces—to aid it in some measure, no matter how small, so that the generosity of the English population may not be misconstrued by an insufficient collection. Upon this point, however, we entertain no feelings of anxiety. 'We are too fully convinced that the multitude most cordially yearn to witness the triumph of Liberty on the banks of the Danube to doubt for one instant that they will welcome with enthusiasm an opportunity of displaying, in deed as well as in word, the depth and earnestness of their sentiments. Those who may inadvertently be unacquainted with the circumstances in which this embryo Testimonial originated will find them fully explained by turning back to The Sun of Tuesday evening. They will observe in the leading article in which this project was firstsuggested a narrative of the troubles which have conducted to the shores of England a band of Hungarian Hussars who, after deserting from RADETZIEY, and crossing swords with the German oppressors of their country, evaded the servitude which awaited them e after the disasters of Novara, by tra versing France, and passing the Channel, and seeking a momentary shelter on the soil of Britain. It will be, remarked moreover that in suggesting a subscrip tion in aid of these patriotic fugitives, we did so not only on the score of humanity and as a token of nat i ona l hospitality, but as a means of practically testifying the sympathy with which the people of these islands regari the sublime but unequal struggle between the heroes of Hungary and the dastaidly dragoons of Despotism. • How vividly do we bear in recollection the scorn and the calumny showered upon the Provisional Government of the Magyars when the war of subjugation was first proclaimed from the council chambers at Schoenbrunn—when the Prince Marshal nutittion THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1849. blackened by the bombardment of Vienna, and blush ing with the carnage of the Viennese, advanced with a vast army against the men who had dared to re quire the preservation of their immemorial rights— when the Ban JELLACHICH, leading on an irregular horde of Croatians, desolated the corn-fields and vine yards of the Danube—when the Hungarian Execu tive was compelled to fly beyond the inaccessible morasses surrounding Debreczin, and the brand of Hungary seemed broken, and her spirit conquered, and her patriotism extinguished ! At that period even Hope appeared to have vanished from the cause of the vanquished. Scarcely one voice was raised to deprecate the execration pronounced against the Magyars by their assailants. Not one hand was extended to extricate them from their abyss of calamities. We remember that time not merely vividly, but bitterly and painfully. With hardly a single exception, the Press in this country applauded the Austrians to the echo—to the echo of the German newspapers According to them, an atrocious rebellion was crushed. According to them, JELLACHICH was a greater ALBEMARLE, and WIN DISCHGRATZ a more illustrious MONTECUCULI. Ac cording to our contemporaries, both native and foreign—our contemporaries both of London and of Vienna—the Cabinet of Debreczin were a group of cut-throats and incapables—men who, to the volatility of adventurers, added the cruelty of fanatics and the heartlessness engendered by Commu nism. And so the slanders were repeated from mouth to mouth, from journal to journal, until the hour of vengeance had arrived, and the truth blazed forth in the splendid victories of BEM and the dazzling proclamations of KOSSUTH. Never in the history of heroic races has the annalist had to record a more wonderful or more glorious ebullition of nationality. The Hungarians rose to a man—nobles, peasants, traders, gentlemen, students, ecclesiastics, artizans, all joined the national standard. They blew to the winds every preceding difference of opinion, and, for the salvation of their mother land, became one in heart, themselves to BEM they very speedily accustomed in hand, in cause, in obedience. Under victory ; and BEM was nobly seconded by his Polish lieutenants, conspicuous among whom were GEORGEY and DBMBINSILY. From the most obscure sutler in the army of liberation up to the superior officers at head-quarters ;a' from the private soldier to the Commander-in-Chief, every Hungarian made his will subservient to the dictates of one intelligence, to the impulse of one patriotic heart, to the ardour, and the devotion,. and the self-sacrifice, and the genius of one man. That man was KOSSUTH. Di rected by him the flood of disasters was soon turned, and Europe, at first with incredulity, then with astonishment, and at last with admiration, beheld that flood rolled back from the gates of Debreczin to the walls of Presburg. All this, moreover, the Hungarians accomplished unassisted, except by GOD and their own valour. They humbled the remorseless JELLACHICH to the dust. They dispersed their enemies among the mountains of Transylvania and upon the plains of the Danube ; they drove some in confusion beyond the frontiers of Wallachia, and compelled the grand army of Impe rialists to fall back in dismay from fortress to fortress, from city to city, from river to river, until they stood almost within gunshot of the Austrian capital. The veteran soldiers of Germany found themselves no match for the raw recruits of the in experienced Hungarians. One after another the most renowned generals in the service of the Era- Felton were compelled to retire from the command of his forces, covered with disgrace and infamy. WIN DISCHGRATE was followed by WELDEN, and WELDER by HATNAU. The faineant FERDINAND, after a reign of unexampled atrocity, found the curse of outraged Hungary falling around him i❑ many appalling evidences, and, with the sceptre of RUDOLPH shaken from his palsied grasp, abdicated in a paroxysm of terror and confusion. While the very foundations of the Austrian empire trembled on the verge ofdestruction under the throne of his youthful successor, the Mag yars consummated the miracle of their emancipation by refusing their allegiance to a blood-stained dynasty, and upon the ruins of their monarchical institutions erected the fane of Republicanism. As a crowning act of justice, the liberated nation paid the noblest homage to the genius and patriotism of its Liberator, proclaiming LUDWIG KOSSUTH its first President. Since then Austria, in despair, has sought the assistanca of Rmsis, and the two Despotisms are advancing with enormous armies to trample out the newly enkindled flame of Hungarian liberty. It is at this moment, when the glorious children of Hungary are drawing their swords from their scabbards, once more, to fight single-handed with the legions of the Austrian EMPEROR and of the Russian AUTOCRAT—that we call upon our countrymen to aid these Magyar refugees at Folkstone. We appeal to them to enhance this Testimonial to strangers, or rather, we should say to brothers in misfortune—to enable these sixty-five Hungarian Hussars to place their lives at the service of the land of their nativity. Remember—the Testimonial is made in the name of English sympathy for Hunga rian patriotism. There is, perhaps, no element of greater importance to the attainment of national prosperity than the banking facilities afforded to the various interests throughout a country. Wherever a sound, judicious, and extensive system of banking is carried on, there also will be found a happy and contented people ; full and remunerative employment is afforded to all who are both able and willing to work ; industry is seldom, if ever, deprived of its legitimate rewards ; the national capabilities are fully and completely developed; nothing affording a fair and reasonable prospect of profit is neglected; the soil is properly cultivated and brought to the highest state of ferti lity ; manufactures of every description are duly attended to. All labour for the general advantage, and few, if any, drones are to be found among the busy population. There is neither time for, no l etevantation to, the commission of crime ; there be any desire to 6,, , ..diacoverable—why should government under which rational liberty - aitant_of prosperity are enjoyed. But how great a contrast is afforded by a nation, in which there is a deficiency of banking capital. There the best and most promising speculations are neglected, the very life-blood of industry is wanting ; no great or permanent ame liorations are attempted; agriculture is on the lowest scale ; no present advantage can be relinquished for any deferred benefit, however great; every energy is directed towards meeting the present exi gency ; nothing is thought of the future ; the only real capital labour —is suffered to remain waste and unproductive. The population, scantily fed on the very lowest element of subsistence, are ripe for any offence that may be suggested ; the people have, unfortunately, but too much leisure time at their disposal, and " Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do." Political discontent and private want lead to general disturbance, which consummates the ruin of the country, and involves the people in the most heart rending misery and destitution. Scotland and Ireland may perhaps be regarded as affording the most., powerful illustrations of the na tural results 9f-a sufficiency or deficiency of banking accommodation. We find the former, despite its many natural disadvantages, the inclemency of its climate, the sterility of its soil, and its inferior geographical position, rivalling even England itself in all . the arts of civilized life. Lanes naturally cold and unproductive command high rents—rents which are not merely promised, but which are invariably liquidated with the utmost punctuality. The farming is of the highest order, and abundant crops reward the labour expended in cultivation. ''Scotch Stewards," acquainted with the system of agriculture pursued in their native land, are eagerly sought for by gentlemen anxious ex to establish model ,farms on their own estates, thus strongest point of vie w th e perfectio n the science ibiting in the that has been already attained. Glasgow —the Scot tish Manchester—Paisley, and oth er ;owns too nume rous to mention, sufficiently attest the national pro• gress in commerce and manufactures. To what then are these various advantages to be ascribed ? Why has Scotland become so justly celebrated for her agriculture, her commerce, her manufacture ? Simply because she is equally celebrated for -her system of "banking," because banking accommodation, on a sound and judicious principle, is afforded to every class in the commun;ty, to every individual who can show himself to be legitimately entitled thereto. It must be a man's own fault if those facilities should be denied which are ever freely tendered to the industrious, the frugal, and the de- serving. It is not merely for the wealthier classes that " banking" is carried on in Scotland. The small tradesman, if worthy of support, receives as much encouragement ; a safe and profitable mode of invest ment for his earnings is afforded, and, if occasion should arise, assistance is judiciously and liberally provided, so as to enable him to take advantage of every favour able opportunity to seize "that tide in the affairs of man, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune." His account is not rejected because he cannot afford to keep a considerable balance lying idle ; discounts will not be refused, because they are small in amount, and not considered worthy of attention. A class of business is transacted utterly unknown in other countries, which is peculiarly beneficial to the " middle classes," which brings considerable profit to the bank, and by extending the basis on which it is carried on, :and making the community deeply in .. its terested in welfare, materially adds to its security. . _ The banks of Scotland fully participate in the general prosperity ; handsome profits are realised, ample dividends distributed, and the shares invariably com mand high premiums if offered for sale—all classes seeking an investment so safe and so remunerative. It is, we regret to say, almost unnecessary to direct attention to the melancholy contrast exhibited by Ireland to the above picture. Notwithstanding the fertility of the soil, the mildness of the air, the innumerable bays and harbours by which its coasts are indented —notwithstanding its mineral riches, admirable position for any com mercial pursuit, its numerous and hardy population, neglect and apathy, misery and destitution, are per ceptible on every side. Six millions and a half acres of land lie utterly waste and unproductive, two- thirds of which might be reclaimed, so as to pay ten per cent. on the necessary outlay ; while the remaining fourteen millions of acres nominally under tillage are not half cultivated, and it is universally admitted that the produce might be more than quadrupled under a judicious system of agriculture. High rents are readily promised, but there is a sad falling of in the performance, and heavy arrears of rent are due to almost every landlord; labour is a mere drug in the mar ket. Able-bodied men are unable to obtain employment on any terms—they tender their services for even nominal wages, but are rejected even while fields are lying barren and unproductive. Commerce lan guishes and manufactures are unknown. And why ? Because there is a deficiency of banking capital and banking accommodation in Ireland ; because there is not an adequate supply of circulating medium for the wants and exigencies of the country. Ireland, with a population exceeding eight millions, has but one chartered and seven unchartered banks with paid up capitals, amounting in the whole to 5,000,0001., o f which 2,000,0001. are lent to the Government, and consequently partially useless for bank ing purposes. Scotland, with less than three millions of inhabitants, has eighteen banks, —six of which have received Royal charters—and has paid-up capital to the amount of 13,000,0001. In other words, there is 7s. 6d. paid-up banking capital 4 f o l r . every os.t o Irishman, while each Scotchman has look to. These simple facts sufficiently explain -the comparative prosperity and distress of the sister kingdoms. We are rejoiced to find that the Scotch system of banking, which has produced such happy results, is to be extended into this country also, that England will speedily (and Ireland, we trust, ere long) receive benefits such as those which Scotland has already obtained from these admirable institutions. The British Bank has already nearly filled its share list, and business will soon be commenced under a Royal charter. The names of the parties who have accepted office will afford a sufficient guarantee for the in tegrity of the management. The Hon. Member for Glasgow, for so many years the able and indefatigable Secretary of the Board of Trade, is ap pointed Governor ; associated with him are men in every way worthy of confidence. There will then be a sound administration of a sound principle, and the result will be as profitable to the shareholders as it will be beneficial to the public. The " cash credits," which form such prominent features in the Scottish system of banking, will for the first time be intro duced into the metropolis, temporary advances will be made on securities which will not even be looked at by the managers of other banks, interest will be allowed on deposits, and, in fact, the Scotch system, which has stood the test of a century and a half's ex perience, will be fully carried out. Many precautions will be taken to guard not only the customers and creditors, but also the shareholders of the bank from any loss. " Business is not to be commenced until half the capital has been paid up." This will provide ample funds for every purpose, while the shareholder is ensured the control and supervision of affairs in which he is so intimately concerned by clauses in the charter which provide, among other things, " that general meetings of the proprietors shall be held at least once in every year ; and extraordinary general meetings, on a requisition of any nine shareholders possessing collectively twenty- one shares in the bank." One-fourth of the number of directors are to retire annually, who shall not be eligible for re-election until after twelve months. No advances are to be made on the security of shares in the bank. There is also to be a monthly publication of the assets and liabilities of the bank, an annual: audit of the accounts, and a communi cation of the creditors' report and the balance-sheet to every proprietor. These would afford ample security against individual shareholders being called upon to satisfy demands against the corporation; but there is, in addition, a clause pro viding for " the winding up the affairs of the bank, if at any time it be found that the losses amount to one fourth of the paid-up capital." This salutary pre caution will at once obviate the objections which many persons have entertained to become shareholders in joint-stock banks, and will practically be equivalew to the partnership en commandite, the advantages o which have been recently so strongly set forth. THE F . IN I CI il A ---„wyET .TO We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They contain the whole of the telegraphic despatch from M. DE CORCELLES, announcing the re-opening of negotiations with the authorities of the Roman Republic, and the suspension of hostilities between the Romans and the French, a portion only of which was communicated by M. ODILON BARROT to the Assembly on the previous day. The following is the portion not communicated " MARSEILLES, JULY 3, EIGHT O'CLOCK, AM. " CIVITA VECCHIA, JULY 1, Tax O'CLOCK, A.M. " General Oudinot addresses to the Government in telligence of the carrying of a new bastion (No. 8) on the night of the 29th ult. The telegraphic dispatch of the General will make known to you the details of this affair, which perhaps is decisive. The enemy has lost a good many men, and demands to capitulate. I re ceive this instant from General Oudinot the following:— " The dispatch announcing the determination of the 1 Assembly to cease defending the city, the demand for a suspension of hostilities, and the arrival of the deputa tion of the Roman municipality to the French head quarters, was communicated yesterday.' "M. de Corcelles continues, lam about to start for head-quarters, which I left yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, with Messrs. &Harcourt and de Rayneval. Not knowing the resolution of the Roman authorities, they left for Gaeta in the morning. I have caused them to be informed by an advice boat. I have received intelli gence from head-quarters that the General-in-Chief has received the Roman Municipality, and begs of me to join him. I leave this instant.' " A court-martial was held on Tuesday for the trial of four soldiers accused of having resisted the gen darmerie in their attempt to arrest Sergeant BOICHOT and convey him to Vincennes previous to his election for the Legislative Assembly. As the court-martial was nominated by General CHANoikarma,jhe con viction of the unfortunate men and their condemna tion to death followed as a matter of course. In the Republican list of candidates for the repre sentation of Paris the name of M. A. Es(winos has been substituted for that of M. PROUHDON, w ho has de clined standing as a candidate. The Siecle and Credit, as representatives of the moderate Republicans party, have published a list, which includes the names of MM. de Latnartine, Lanjuinais, Tourret, Ven nerd, Marie, Goudchaux, Bastide, Marrast, Billault, Jules Fevre, and Corbon. It is exceedingly probable that many of the names in this list will be returned. The electors are disgusted with the dictatorial power assumed by the electoral union ; they do not approve of the reactionary policy of the Ministry, but they do not like to vote for a list containing the names of Socialist can did ates , and will therefore accept the Siecle list as a Godsend. LAMARTINE, MARIE, GOVDCUAUX, BAMDE, MARItAgal And thILES PAYEE will, we have little doubt, be nT ,,,, n!!: sur cessful candidates. The Minister of War has addressed the following lett:sr to the National ani the Presse : i " Paris, July 3. " I declare false from one end to the other the letter which you have inserted is your number of this day, and which you give as having :been written by me to General Oudinot on the 13th ult. " RULIIIERE, Minister of War." The French Republic has acknowledged the Black Republic of Liberia. Letters from Colmar state that General RILLIET, commanding the department of the Upper Rhine has placed troops along the Rhine, from Huninguen, to Neuf Brisach, to prevent the passage of the Baden in surgents across the Rhire. M. Proudhon has addressed to the Presse a letter from the Conciergerie, dated yesterday, in which he declares that he dues not recognise the authority of the Committee which has taken on itself to draw up the list of the candidates of the Democratic and Socialist party, neither does he accept the list. He says that the authority of the Mountain cannot be invoked in favour of it, as it has lost thirty-three of its members; that the Democratic Committee, which is also mentioned, is dispersed, and that he suspects the members of it who remain; that he does not know the Comite De mocratique des Amis de la Constitution, which is said to have taken part in concocting the list, though there is a Comite des Antis de la Constitution ; and, finally, he says that almost all the members of the Socialist democratic press, whose authority is also in voked, are in flight. He further objects, that the names on the list are not such as the " situation" required the party to select. M. Emile de Girardin, M. Jules Fevre, and M. de Lesseps ought, he says, to have been put forward; the first, because, after the victory ob tained by the party of resistance on 13th June, he still declared the Constitution to be violated, and because he now defends the Democratic and Socialist cause; the second, because, after the declaration of the state of siege, he recommended the suspended newspapers to appeal to the courts, and because he might be accepted by the Mountain as the successor of M. Ledru Rollin ; the • third, because, notwithstanding his Conservative opinions, he would have been a protest of the people against the impious war made on Italian liberties. M. Proudhon then declares that -though he accepts some names on the list, they are accompanied by others which are objectionable. He says that it seems to him impossible that such a list can triumph ; and that, preferring the silence of his party to its defeat, he formally declines to allow himself to become a candidate. The Presse and the National publish the following letter which they say was intercepted by the Govern ment of the Roman Republic. The National intro duces it with the following observations:— " Tne curious document which we give below has reached us by two different channels. Although no thing appears to us more probable than its existence, we in no way mean to guarantee its authenticity, and we shall gladly receive any rectification which the Minister of War may send us. The details which are given us as to the letter itself, the circumstance under which it came into the possession of the Roman T►ium. virate, and even the manner in which it was sealed, carry with them a great air of truth. The seal has a motto—such as M. touis Bonaparte, it is said, willingly uses, and which he borrows from the Chevalier Bayard —' Fais ce que dois, advienne que pourra.' This ap pears to indicate that the letter was even written in his bureau, by General Rulliere, before attending the sitting of the 12th June last, and aterwaids thrown by him uto the 1, tter. box at the Assembly." The letter is as follows : " Parie, June 13. "My dear General,—You have experienced much annoyance, and I much fear that M. de Courcelles will cause you as much as did M. de Lesseps. 1 detest those people who will only talk when they ought to cut. For the last two days we have had warm discussions on your expedition, but you may go forward without fear. The Assembly yesterday gave a triumph to the Ministry, and contradicted the accu sations of the Mountain. In accepting the title of Ro man citizens, those savage Republicans have forgotten that they were Frenchmen, and thrown aside (sic) the sentiments which they ought to feel towards our brave soldiers. Happily all France does not think as they do, and you may believe, my dear General, that I am one of those who the most frankly rejoice in your success, and in all that you may accomplitih in the fine command confided to you. Have courage then—persevere ; but hasten as much as possible your entrance into Rome, for with the impatient and wavering character of our nation, you know hcw much depends on a prompt result.

The defiance hurled at the people by the misguided QUEEN in appointing COSTA CABRAL to the ministry, has caused an intense sensa tion. The announcement of the new appointment was made in both Chambers by COSTA CABRAL him self. In making the announcement to the Peers, he said that the programme of his administration would be economy, justice, and liberty, and implored the Chamber not to pre;udge it, but to await its acts before pronouncing upon its merits or demerits. Count TAH'A said that the appointment of the new Cabinet was an act of treachery and an insult to the country. At its head was placed a man who had plunged the nation into a civil war, which had brought down the unjust interference of three foreign powers, and therefore none but one who to the head of a fool added the heart of a traitor could regard it as anything but a calamity and an outrageous provocation to the country. Count LOVRADIO, Viscounts FONTE, ARCADA, and SA DA BANDEIRA, and several other peers, among whom was M. FONSECA MAGATHOES, expressed themselves to pretty nearly the same effect. Count THOMAR did not reply to these attacks, but merely repeated his re quest that they would suspend their judgments. The new Ministry has commenced proceedings with an amnesty for all political offenders. From the osten tstious parade made of this pretended act of cle reference w ...old be lad to suppose that it had plies, however, to abourlt. u .'.. - aZ:ccenients. It ap most, implicated in an alleged conspiracy, doirteis at of which could have entailed no heavier punishment than a short incarceration, and it is therefore su premely ridiculous. The Finance Minister has like wise presented his own particular programme to the Cortes. Besides the usual assurance of the greatest economy, &c., it contains a hint about increased taxation, which, if carried ;into effect, may lead to very great troubles. Our accounts from Oporto are to the 30th, at which period CHARLES ALBERT was extremely ill. The Queen of PORTUGAL had sent her physician to attend him. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. BADEN. A desperate battle sifts fought on the 29th between the Prussians and the insurgents, in the neighbour hood of the villages cf Zlalasch and Muggensteine, between Carbrhue and Rastadt. The insurgents were defeated. Gemral PEUCHER has taken pos session of Baden-Bade n . The French Govertment has received the follow ing telegraphic dispach from Strasburg, dated the 3d inst.:— " Mieroslawski arrivd at Basle on the 2d, with staff, and left almost immeditely for Lichstall, in the canton of Basle (campagne). Marder, the ea• Minister of Finance of the Frovisim a l Government at Baden, was arrested the same day t Basle, and his property seques tered." SIGAL has succeed MIEROSLAWSKI in the com mand of the insurents. The Frankfort Post Gazette states that the Prussians have titian possession of the outworks of the fortifi cations of Rastadt. The Prussians have shot several of their prisners. ITZSTEIN, RAVEAUX, SIMON, VOGT, and SCAULER are among the Germans who have taken refuge in Switzerland. AUSTRIA 4,ND HUNGARY. FALL OF RAAB. The Austrians are i posses ion of Raab. It was rumoured in Vienna tat the Imperialists had taken it by assault after a deperate battle; it appears, how ever, that such was nt the case. The Hungarians evacuated the town a an orderly manner, and al though there was a ttle cannonading in the rear of the retreating army, tine was no mischief done, The Envernr of ArITRIA IS rinw Pt P.P.11/, whr.re 'be hps fixea iii, hew: quatti. The ilurtgarip. quartt-r4 are Goiiay o, opposite Coniorri. The Im peiialists will be obliged to icave at least 20,000 at R,ab to garrison the town and to keep open their communications. The Warsaw Gazette publishes the following re port from the Russian army : " On the 17th ut June our troops entered Hungary. The dtfferent columns took the following di: ection:— The 3d Infantry curpa (after a division of it had gone to the relief of the main Austrian army at Presburg a march before), set out on its march under the General- Adjutant Rudiger, over Neuwark, Ofal, and Foliborg, to Lublo, wht-re it arrived on the 18th. The 2d Infantry corps (after a division of the same had been sent to cover Cracow), under the command of Lieutenant-General Kuprianow, was directed to Gorlice, and in two columns to the vill'iges of Irbe and Konieczno. The 4th corps, under the Infantry General Czeodajew (after a division had been subtracted to occupy South Galicia and the Bukowina), s& t out likewise in two columns from Zmi groda to Graab, and from Ducla to Kowarnick. The Commander-in-Chief of the active army was on the 6th with the column on its march to Graab, and passed the night at Szielno. This arrangement of columns was in tended to accelerate the passage of the Carpathians, i❑ case any resistance should be offered by the enemy. They showed themselves, however, backward to oppose us, and, with the exception of a few trifling skirmishes on the 16th and 17th, no encounter took place. On the 6th our troops traversed the mountains in the direction of Zbary and Bartfeld. On the same day Lieutenant- General Luders proposed leading his men into Transyl vania and on to Constadt ; the other part of his troops, under Lieutenant• General Grotenhelm, taking the route over Watra Dorna into the Bukowina and on to Bistritz." THE WAR 1N DENMARK. A report has been received by the Prussian Go vernment of a brush that took place off Swinne munde, or rather off Hela, between the Prussian war steamer Adler and a Danish brig-of-war. Captain Barandon, of the former, states that he fell in with the brig eight miles S.S.W. of Hela, and exchanged shots (we suppose at long range) for four hours and a halt; that the Adler received only three shots through her afterpart, one of which wounded a man at the helm ; and that, owing to darkness coming on, and the Danish frigate Galathea having borne down to assist the brig, he (Captain Barandon) was un fortunately compelled to discontinue the combat, and was thus prevented capturing the brig. ITALY. Intelligence has been received direct from Rome to the 30th ult., but its interest has been greatly diminished by the more recent intelligence received from Paris. It would appear, however, that French or Russian gold had been more powerful than French arms. The Assembly had been induced to reject a proposition made by MM. STERBINI and BONAPARTE, fur appointing GARIBALDI Commander in-Chief, and had determined' to treat with the French. The Risorgimento, of Turin, says that the - POPE has consented to maintain the constitutional regime in the Roman States. The negotiations for peace between Austria and Sardinia are broken off in consequence of the con tinually increasing demands of Austria. The Austrian Plenipotentiary has demanded, among other things, the cession of the principalities of Monaco. How can such a demand as this be reconciled with the solemn pledge given by Austria that she sought no territorial aggrandizement ? Surely France will not permit Austria to dismember Piedmont, and obtain the command of the passes of the Alps. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY is unwilling to return to Florence until his States shall be relieved from the presence of the Austrians. MONEY and UtimMERCIAL NEWS. C./1 Y, (WARIER 10 THREE. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mattd at about 9,000 to 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken by spfculators, and 500 by exporters. The market was steady, and prices remained firm. Railway Shares were firm. The quantity of grain sold in the markets of the United Kingdom, which regulate the averages, was last week 73,492 qrs. of wheat, and 8,056 of oats. In a Parlia mentary return just completed we have the quantities of foreign grain of each description, and of foreign, flour and meal imported into the United Kingdom in each month of the years 1847 and 1848, and during the first four months of the present year, &c. The total imports of grain and flour, including wheat, barley, and oats, in the year 1847, were, 1,705,708 quarters, besides 57,882 cwt. of oatmeal. In 1848 the imports were 967,056 quarters, and 6,595 cwt.; and for the first four months of this year they have been 269,638 quarters, and 2,203 cwt.. The quantity of rye, meal, peas. beans, &c., was in 1847, 443,675 quarters; in 1848, 487,928 quarters; and this year, to May 5, 1,120,012 quarters. The aggregate of all grain, including Indian corn, was, for 1847, 9,436,675 quarters, and of meal and flour 8,633,990 cwt. In 1848, 6,941,611 qrs., and 2,030,237 cwt. In 1849 to May sth, 3,294,450 quarters, and 1,414,330 cwt., making the aggregate imports for two years and four months, 19,672,742 quarters of grain, and 12,078,557 quarters of meal and flour of all sorts. The average monthly price of wheat since January, 1847, was highest in July of that year, amounting to 92s 10d, and lowest on the sth May, 1849, being 44s 9d. We may add that the return published this day makes the average 44s 8d only for the last six weeks. The proprietors of the South Sea Company have hed their half-yearly meeting this morning, and the usual dividend of 11 per cent. has been declared. The half year's balance sheet shows the income to be 156,429/. 7s. 5d., and the balance, after payment of interest on the annuities, stock, &e., of the company, and the general expenses, was 819/. 3s. 4d. The British Post-office, it seems, in concluding the postal convention with the United States, has been un able to make provision for the safe transmission of re gistered letters between the two countries , _ no system of registration being in operation in the United States. The Post-office, however, will continue to register letters for the United States, as far as the port of dispatch in the United Kingdom, according to the present practice, but no further. The splendid new London line of packet ship South ampton, commanded by Capt. E. E. Morgan, has arrived at Portsmouth, from New York, on her way to London. She has brought over 70 cabin passengers, and 100,000 dollars in specie. By Custom-house measurement, she is 1,600 tons, and by carpenter's 1,732, being the largest packet ship that has come to the port of London from the United States. Her fittings up are splendid, particularly the main saloon. The state rooms are 10 teat square, and height in proportion, being the largest and most commodious of any of the packet ships. The accommodation for steerage and second class passengers is excellent, and ventilators pass through the various compartments, keeping them pure and healthy. The berths in the steerage are different to any of the packet ships, being plact d in the centre of the deck so as to allow a passage around the ship. The advantages of this plan are great, as the passengers escape the offensive odour of the bilge water, have a free circulation of air, and the officers of the ship can better prevent or detect uncleanliness. The reports from the continental markets state that at Amstersdam on the 3d inst. the national funds were well supported, and a fair business was done in the Two and-a-Halt per Cents. Spanish Bonds were firm. At Frankfort on the 2d inst. all Austrian securities were higher, the Five per Cents. being 76i. The Berlin market on the 2d inst. was higher for all shares. From Vienna under date of the 30th ult. we are informed that there was no alteration in funds and shares. Bank Shares were in demand, and a moderate business was done in Foreign Securities. The news from Hungary seems unfortunately very much in favour of the Impe- liLa there has been scarewYarlset has been very firm, but party are now endeavouring to make something of the Revenue return to be made up this evening, although it is generally admitted that the interest of the statement passed away to a great extent with the Chancellor's Bud get, and tbat the rumours of such a serious deficiency must be unfounded. The Board of Trade returns to the sth ult. will serve to show that the country is not doing so very badly, and we believe that since that date there is a further improvement. Consols have been 92 to all the morning; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 92k 1.. Bank Stock is 1941 to 1951. Exche quer-bills are 455. to 48s. premium, and India Bonds 725. to 745. premium. The dividends at the Bank of England are to be paid next Monday, the 9th instant, and not Tuesday, as stated a day or two since. The advices from Lisbon are still of a very indifferent tenor, but Portuguese Bonds do not vary much. The Old Five per Cents. are 77. Spanish Five per Cents. have been l7i to Mexican Bonds are 28i 1 1 . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents realise 50k. Railway Shares are quiet, and with very little alter ation from yesterday's rates, though in some instance scarcely so high. ONE O'OCLCK. CLOSING i.1(1 1 'FB ~ 4' ~111TISEI FUNDS PRICES.

The plaintiff in this action is a tea•dealer, and defend ant resides in Eastbourne-terrace, Regents. park. The sum claimed was 31. for goods sold, and the defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff's attoiney said that the defendant was the honorary secretary of the Society for the Protection of Needlewomen. The defence was, he understood, that the goods bad not been ordered by or for defendant, but had been ordered by a Miss Lord; if evidence to that effect was adduced, it would affurd an opportunity for reply. Evidence was then given that articles had been or dered from time to time and delivered at defendant's house. The orders were in the name of Mrs. Roper, atd the goods were always taken iu without hesitatit.o. Mr. Nash, a cheesemonger, was called to prove he had acted on orders given by Mrs. Roper, and had been paid with the exc, prion of a trifling balance. There being no evidence in support of the plea, a ver dict was give❑ tor the amount claimed. The case lasted the whole of the morning, and the complaints of unfairness were mutual; the defendant complained that the action should have been brought in the superior court, and the plaintiff admitted that having commenced the action he would willingly have aban doned it, but defendant caused a rule to be taken out, compelling him to go on with the action, or submit to a judgment, as in case of a nonsuit, which would have entitled defendant to costs. The UNDER-SHERIFF, after hearing the arguments, said nothing had been urged to shake his o i piuion that 11111/1111 LO Ma 00, ret urn he could not intorroi,. ILP nu. 4t.liestion o f costs must be left to the Utßii'e. This case, however, presented one novel feature, that defendant had urged the proceedings on himself. Mr. NEWTON, the defendant's counsel, said the coats would now be 50/. instead of as many shillings. CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and Mr. Justice MAULE.) Franco Maccagnone Granatelli, commonly called Prince Granatelli, Leuis Scalia, and John Moody, surrendered to take their trial this morning under an indictment charging them with an infringement of the Foreign En listment Act, under the circumstances stated below:— Salidore D'Amico, was also included in the indictment, but did not surrender. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel for the prosecution; and Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Ball ant i ne d efended Granatelli, Mr. Martin, Q.C., Leuis S ca li a, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Captain Moody. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER said this prosecution had been instituted by the Minister in this country of the Kieg of the Two Sicilies against the de fendants, three of whom appeared in the Court, and one of the name of D'Arnico had not appeared, alleging against thaw that they had enlisted men and equipped vessels for the purpose of warlike operations against the King of the Two Sicilies, the lawful Sove reign of that country, in contravention of an Act of Parliament passed in 1819, commonly called the Foreig n Enlistment Act. Although the recital in that Act ap• peered to be of a more descriptive character than its provisions, and to apply more particularly to the sub jects of this country, yet, when attention was directed to the enacting parts of the Act, it would be found there were provisions sufficiently wide to embrace the case of every person resident in this country who dared to raise troops or arm vessels for the purpose of employing them against a friendly State. It was necessary for him to dwell upon the policy and object of that Act of Parliament, because it was quite iiiipossl hie to conceive anything which was more likely to disturb the friendly relations which ex isted between States, and to lead to a rupture between them, than for persons who were resident in one of the countries to raise troops or to arm vessels within its territories for the purpose of hostile operations against the dominions of the other. It was entirely from a sense of the danger of such a procedure that the Mi nister of the King of the Two Sicilies had felt it to be his incumbent duty to his Sovereign to bring the parties to justice charged with an infringement of the Act in fire , nt j;1 111.1 t 1. Leta shaken almost to their foundations; in all they bad been very seriously endangered. The King of the Two Sicilies had not been exempt from what he (Sir • Thesiger) might characterise as the prevalent spirit of the titres. In the island of Sicily disturbances broke out in 1848, which teltim.oely led to the establishment of an inset, g. lit G. le-mm.lU at Palermo. Of that in surgent G..vert.u.ent the two defentiatits, Granatetlt and Scalia, e ere the acer. dited envoys or commissioners ; and he believed that in some such character they had been received by the Minister of this country. In July, 1848, they were desirous of obtaining an armed force for the pure ses of the revolutionary Government, and with that object they entered into an agreement with the Peninsular and Oriental St► am• packet Company to purchase from them two vessels, one of them called the Vectis and the other the Bombay, for which they were to give the sum of 60,0001. In that agreement the deferdants Granatelli and Scalia were described as Members of Parliament, and commissioners for the Sicilian Government. The vessel Vectis was fitted out at Liverpool under the superintendence of the def►ndant Moody; and-it would appear that she was fitted oat entirely-as a war steamer, with the exception of her armament, which was not to be put on boat din this country. Sbe left this country on the 9th March, 1849, and made her course towards Sicily. The crew found that Palermo was under a blockade, and the vessel did not go there as she had in tended in the first instance; but finding afterwards that it was not the feet that Palermo was blockaded, the crew steered for that port. She was carrying English colours, but when she came near the harbour those colours were struck and those of Sicily hoisted. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances under which utiot.ary )1 t the Bombay was fitted out on the same expedition, but detained by the Custom-house authorities in this country before she set out upon it. The question which the jury would have to decide would be whether the defendants, or any of them, equipped those steamers, or attempted to do so, as armed vessels to serve against the sovereign of. the Two Sicilies, or whether they conspired together to accomplish that object. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. MA RLBRO'-ST REET—(THIS DAY.) Matilda Jones, a woman of the town, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen from the person of Mr. Edmund North, hair dresser, 12, Little Grosvenor• s t ree t, a s il ver watc h, value 51. The prosecutor, an old man, about 65 years of ages stated that about eleven o'clock last night he was pro ceeding along Oxt'ord•street, when the prisoner came up to him, and asked him to accompany her into Chapel• street. He at first refused, but after a d ea l of solicitation he was induced to walk with her. They had proceeded some distance down the street when, 00 arriving near Crown-court, the prisoner cried out, " Ohl here is a policeman." She then ran away as fast as she could. He was about pursuing her when two men came up and asked him " what was the matter?" He • said, " Nothing that concerns you." They then went away, and on witness feeling for his watch he found that it had been cut from his watch-guard. He wet positive the watch was safe when he first met the. prisoner. He then gave information to a police-con• stable whom he met, and the prisoner was shortly after taken into custody in a public-house close by, where she was found concealed behind the door. The prisoner stoutly denied the charge, and said she never saw the prosecutor, but a former conviction havieg been proved against the prisoner, Mr. HARDwick committed her for trial. NEWMARKET RACES.
