GREAT REDUCTION IN THE cussion was limited to the details of the antici- ' pa,ted modification, he carried his own views and prevented the act of justice and of policy from receiving the legislative sanction. Such was the state of affairs when Mr. GLAD STONE brought forward his first budget refus inn, to recognise the distinction, but pro viding (!) for the gradual reduction and ultimate extinction of what, under the circumstances, w as justly considered an odious impost. The • financial conjuror managed his cards dex terously. The pretended boon, which at the time he must have known would never have been given, was eagerly accepted. It was said that it was not worth while to cavil or dis pute about that which would so speedily be num bered with the past, and that it would be madness to oppose such a " heaven-born" Minister, or to risk the loss of his invaluable services for such a trifle. GLADSTONE was the idol of the day, be fore whose footstool the time-servers were only too happy to lick the dust. We remained firm. We neither joined in the servile throng, nor in any degree surrendered the opinions we had long entertained, and strenuously and unceasingly ad vocated. We still stood up for the deeply-injured working classes, who, by the sweat of their brows or the exercise of their intellects, earned incomes scarcely adequate to the exigencies of their posi tions. Their just claims were, however, dis regarded. The " GLADSTONE ovation" was cele brated with such extraordinary splendour that few listened to the groans of the victims bound to his chariot wheels, and even many of the sufferers forgot their wrongs in the glory of his triumph. The sacrifice of " principle "—the unblushing subserviency then exhibited, has possibly induced him to suppose that he can again induce Honour able and Right Honourable Gentlemen to swallow their own words and again yield to his crotchets. He has accordingly flung off disguise, and become the vituperator and maligner of his country and of his quondam colleagues. Had his hand clutched the filthy bribes of Russia he could not have more earnestly advocated its cause, or sought to afford excuses for the German Powers, whe were alike oblivious of their duties and of their promises. He has sent forth these opinions with the knowledge that they will encourage the enemy to pursue its aggressive policy, and to pre vent its acceptance of any terms that can be ac ceptable to the Western Powers, or consistent with their honour or security. It is " a nasty bird that fouls its ownnests"—so says the old pro verb—and we trust that Mr.GLADSTONE will pon der on its application, and the moral that may be dedUced therefrom. But a new light is cast by the recent speeches of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer on the very extraordinary financial policy which he pur sued. At the time when he steadily refused to modify the income tax, and under the promise of its extinction obtained a renewal for seven in place of three years, he was acquainted, through the explanations of Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, with the secret -views of the CzAR, and his avowed inten tions with respect to the assets of " the sick man." At that very time, notwithstanding the reduction in the stock of gold, and the steadiness of the efflux of bullion from our shores, he brought forward his scheme for the conversion of the Three per Cents., and the payment of the South Sea Loan, and. other small stocks ! By this " valuable financial demonstration," as it was termed, he denuded the Exchequer of its balances, and rendered himself dependent on loans from the Bank of England for the means of meeting the dividend on the National Debt. What could a Minister nominated by the CZAR, and who looked solely to his interests, have done more ? He also refused, after the War had broken out, to sanction a loan even to the extent of replacing the money be had so imprudently dis bursed, and at the' same time strove to starve the War, and to disgust the people with hostilities by heaping burdens on their shoulders. In these views he was disappointed. The indomitable courage and resolution of the people conquered all the difficulties imposed by the treachery or imbecility of some of the Cabinet. Our honour is still safe, but we have nob to thank Mr. GLAD STONE for that circumstance. We do not think the course adopted by • the ex-financial Minister calculated to recruit the Peelite ranks, or to render ;he nation desirous of his accession to the Pre miership, a post to which it is well known that he aspires, and which he already fancies to be within 4is grasp. We would be the last to deny to any English man, and especially to a Member of Parliament, - he right of freedom of speech ; like every other right, however, it should be used with common prudence. The partners of a banking or conamer ;ial firm, or the members of a board conducting the business of a public company, have each a full right to utter all their minds ; but what would be thought of any of their number who should publicly declare opinions of his own, in which, moreover, 113 differed from his colleagues, and which should have the effect of diminishing confi lence in the firm, or lowering the market value of the company's shares ? His opinions we will even suppose to be right, yet if their publication would liscourage the friends and customers of the house - )r company, and, much more, if they would encourage the hostile operations of a rival company, he would be universally con .lerened for such an abuse of his right. It would be deemed either treachery or the grossest impru- Aence. He would be told that his duty was quietly to secede if he differed fundamentally from his colleag ues , and not to be guilty of injuring their common interests by au unfair use of his tongue. We put this plain consideration to such men as \lr. LArNU, and also to Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, GLADSTONE, and the other commercial men, or men of commercial knowledge, who publish so freely Anti-warlike opinions. They have been denomi natede traitors, and their conduct on the Turkish Loan question spoken of as nefariou s ; and u. y ippear to be very sore on the subject. C an they reaso nably wonder ? Suppose them, for 'nen t's sake, to be right, yet is it right, on the other iand, to strengthen our antagonist, to weaken our Government and our Generals, and to increase the expenditure of life and money? They exclaim that their intentions are the very reverse. We admit it, At least so far as saving life and taxation are con cerned. But will they, with their asserted supe rior intelligence, deny the mischievous effect of their conduct on Russia ? Or will they fancy that their appeals to our purse or our fears can shake English resolution ? They see that the nation insists on a vigorous prosecution of the War. They see that by an immense majority it affirms that peace shall be conquered, not sued for ; yet they do all they can to make Russia believe that we are not hearty and united, do all they can to in vigorate her resistance in the hope of wearing out a nation of shopkeepers, and all they can to make peace difficult to be co nquered ! I hope to divert their countrymen from f theirey cannot object, is it then not " nefarious" and unpatriotic reck lessly to enhance the difficulty of obtaininc , it ? It is useless to allege that such is not their wish ; such must be the result of their doings. Russians never see such speeches as Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. LAING used to make, nor such as Lord LYNDHURST, Mr. LAYARD and even Sir W. MOLES WORTH now make ; but the speeches of the BRIGHT and GLADSTONE party are reprinted in estenso, with hardly a sentence omitted, to em bolden Russian zeal with the evidence of English divisions. The stubborn fact indeed remains that the English House of Commons will not, or dare not, give a Russian vote ; and that even Prince ALBERT dares not make speeches against the War, except sideways by an attack on constitutional government. Almost all over she continent, how ever, east of the Rhine, the despots take pretty good care to exclude from, or to modify in the journals all that tells against Russia, and to give at full length either our quarrels at home, or any mishap abroad. If the Peelites and peace at-any-price men were in the pay of Russia they could not serve her better ; and however they may now flatter themselves with becoming the idols of the nation, when, as they fancy, the taxation their conduct increases shall make it desirous of peace, they most certainly deceive themselves. Some of them are scholars, and it is worth their while to remember the respective fates of the great war orator of Athens and his Philippising opponent. Even after the defeat at Chaeronea, and the loss of political status, the mean-spirited subserver of the ambition of PHILIP not only could not wrest the crown from the patriot, but could not save himself from incurring civil dis grace by the attempt. Such will certainly be the result in this country. Were the army in the Crimea literally driven into the sea, the nation would wreak its vengeance, not on the men who counselled worthily of their ancestors and their countrymen, but on the perverse, the practically Russianising men, who cramped as far as in them lay the noble efforts of their country, and stimu lated those of the enemy. For our part we cannot resist the conviction that treachery, either in our Court or our Cabi nets, is the sole reason why we have had war at all, and why, after it began, it was not more quickly brought to a conclusion. The Men who knew of the shameless SEYMOUR correspondence, and yet did not utterly distrust Russia and anti cipate her designs ; who suffered the pas sage of the Pruth, who kept our ships outside the Exuine till after the horrors of Sinope—a murder committed, too, by a gross breach of faith—who then sent out troops for a parade war, as General EVANS stated—who courted that double of Rus sian nepotism, perfidy, cunning, and violence, Austria, and admitted her brutal troops into the innocent provinces, instead of demanding her decision for or against at once—who first proposed, then countermanded, the formation of a Polish Legion, who shrunk from declaring 'for Polish liberty itself, and who have spared " Holy Russia" in fifty ways besides—it is these trimming, these half-hearted men who have brought us into war, and who will keep us in it through sheer apprehension of hurting Russia and Austria too much. The three savage oppressors of Poland, and, above all, the base gaoler of Hun gary and Lombardy, are the beloved friends of our Whigs and Tories, and of the Court through whose smiles they hope in turns to enjoy the sweets of office. The nation is sound, thoroughly au ; but its governors all sympathise with the governing classes abroad, not with the governed. This is the key of the whole mystery. Our money and our men are squandered in profu sion ; no foresight, no energy, no boldness is shown in the war, and all because our administra tors are heartless. Enthusiasm would inspire very different counsels. Earnestness never fails to find ability. But how can our aristocracy and our Court be in earnest, when they can peddle over such paltry matters as the Four Points, and the respective merits of counterpoise or limita tion ! ! England despises such trumpery objects for a great war. They are themselves sufficient to enfeeble its conduct. Why strike blows worthy the Allied Armies and Navies for the " difference between tweedledum and tweedlede?.." It is, we believe, loathsome to the people generally to see its Legislators debating such childish terms of peace. Its instinctive common-souse exclaims, let us fight like men, for something worthy of men ! On Saturday we ineerted the Report of the Directors of the Royal British Bank, which was of a truly satisfactory character, and may be re garded as conclusive of the triumphant success of the great experiment tried on the introduction of the Scotch system of banking into the metropolis of the United Kingdom. This result is the more gratifying to ourselves, as from the very commence ment we earnestly commended the principle which, having succeeded on one side of the Tweed, and proved alike beneficial to the shareholders and customers in the various establishments distributed throughout the length and breadth of the sister kingdom, should in like manner flourish when transplanted to British soil. We felt that all that was required was au efficient and straightforward board of management, and " fair play," a clear stage, and no favour, to insure a triumph of the principle. These, we aro happy to say, were ac corded. The Directors showed themselves to be sound-judging, prudent men of busi ness, who, while extending the great bene fits of banking facilities to classes previously debarred therefrom, took measures, at the same time, to prevent any reasonable chance of loss. The steady increase of business the hand some profits realised, and partly distributed, while considerable portions have been applied to the liquidation of the preliminary expenses, and the formation of a reserved fund, already amounting to 13,794/., supply unquestionable testimony on the accuracy of their views ; and although they have had prejudices to encounter in the first instance, these prejudices have worn away, and they now occupy a high position, with an increased capital, that will enable them to in crease their transactions, in one of the best bank ing sites in London, viz. the old South Sea House, in Threadneedle-street, which has been obtained on very favourable terms. Suffice it to say, that after distributing a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) on the paid-up capital, and pro viding handsomely for all expenses, they were enabled to add 1,000/. to the reserved fund, and likewise to apply 6361. 78. Bd. to the pre liminary expenses, and to carry an unappro priated balance of 1,1621. 2s. 7d. to the new account. Such facts, supported by such figures, require no comment—they supply unquestionable proofs of the prosperity and stability of the Royal British Bank, the initiator of the Scottish system in England.

The British public have been made familiar with this picture by the engravings. The likeness is perfect.

It shows a worthy disin terestedness in this great artiste to devote her last efforts, prior to her starting on her long engagement, to the fur therance of an charitable a cause. STAMPED ENVELOPES.—There is a provision in am act of Parliament which has been printed ISth and 19th of Victoria, chap. 78, under which the Inland Board may stamp paper which any person may send for covers or envelopes of letters with stamps provided for denoting the several rates of postage, on payment of the amount of the stamps required to Le impressed on such paper. LATEST NEWS. ANOTHER RUSSIAN SORTIE. WAR DEPARTMENT, AUG. 4. General Simpson has reported by telegr2ph to day that the Russians made a sortie last night on the Woronzow-road as far as the chevaux de frise, but were repulsed without loss on our side. Few deaths from cholera. PARIS, SUNDAY. General Can robert is expected in France. His departure from the Crimea is ascribed to an old wound, which has opened, and causes him great pain. The Emperor ordered him to resign, and he has given up his division to M`Mahon. All the 55 prisoners belonging to the secret society called Marianne have been found guilty. Their sentences range from six months' to five years' imprisonment. The Benedetti has left for the Crimea. The Christophe Colombe came into collision with a Turkish frigate, when two Frenchmen and four Turks were killed. On the Bth ult., the garrison of Fort St. Paul made an excursion into the interior, and carried off 600 bullocks. HANOVER, SUNDAY. Another royal proclamation has been issued this day. It states that the Government has made every attempt to bring the Chambers into harmony with the decree of the Federal Diet, dated April 12, but having failed, the latter can no longer remain unexecuted. The Government, convinced that any further negotiation with the Chambers of 1848 would lead to no result, has resolved to execute the decision of the Diet without more delay. Accordingly, by the ordinance just issued, the Ministers are au thorised, in obedience to the federal decree, to reinstate the aristocracy in their former rights. ELSINORE, FRIDAY. The Gorgon has arrived from England, and proceeded to join the fleet at Nargen. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY, AUG. 5. The followinn , private telegraphiedespatches have been received here : " MARSEILLES, 4th.—The Thabor has arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the 26th ult. Mehe met Bey, the new Turkish ambassador, has arrived by her with a numerous suite. The accounts from the Crimea nre to the 25th ult. The works of the allies were within 70 metres of the Malakhoff Tower, and the bat teries were being armed very rapidly. The Russuans have increased their works on the north side, and have carried their heaviest cannon into the faubourg of Kara belnaia. No positive accounts bad been received of the movements of Schamyl. An English division is cruising before the Fleche of Arabat, to prevent the Russians from repairing the roads. It is said that after the evacuation of Kertch by the allies the Russians re-en tered it, and burnt all the depots of of corn that still re mained. The allies occupy the fort of St Paul, about a league distant from Kertch." " MADRID, 31—The report of Cabrera having entered Catalonia turns out to be false. The Prince of Orange left Cadiz on the 28th ult., steering for the Mediter ranean." The Emperor has received M. von der Heydt, Prussian Minister of Commerce and Public Worh s, who has been sent by his Sovereign to visit ate exhibition. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles states that in addi tion to the troops which have recently arrived a.t that port for the East, 11,000 more are very shortly expected. The King of Portugal on Thursday received, at a private audience, M. Parrot, French Minister , at Brussels ; his Majesty also received Mme. Bar rot. M. Barrot was formerly Minister at Berlin. The King likewise gave an audience to M. Lam bert, agent of Messrs. Rothschild. In the even ti - ing, a grand dinner in honour of the King was given by the King of the Belgians at Laeken. The departure of his Majesty and of his Royal brother was to take place yesterday at one o'clook. BOURSE, AUG. 4.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

PETERSBURG, July 2o.—Within the last three days we have had no less than four large fires, and rumours are current that they are the work of incendiaries. Although the government has not failed to institute strict researches, nothing has transpired tending to criminate any oue. The foreigners residing in this city are, however, looked upon with suspicion, and orders have been given to the secret police to keep a doubly rigorous watch on their movements. All the accounts from the south are full of de tails of the marching of troops. A letter from Cher Son says that every day the inhabitants are attracted to their windows by the gay music of the military bands marching throughout the otherwise quiet and deserted streets, at the head of their regi ments. On the other hand, the noise of paddle wheels in the waters of the Dnieper was seldom heard, though the quietude was lately disturbed by the arrival of the Russian war-steamer Andia, with officers on board, sent to inspect the progress made in the defensive works being thrown up at the mouth of the river. The reports as to the harvest in the south are very unsatisfactory, and the unusual heat of the month of May appears to have dried and burned up the young crops. The Invalide Busse,' of July 27, contains the fol lowing : "Aide de-Camp Genei al de Berg, commander of the troops in Finland, states that on July 20 a frigate, a steamer, a corvette, and a gun-boat, carrying the Eng lish flag, appeared before Friedrichschainm. At 10 o'clock a.m. on the following day, these vessels, arranged in line, commenced an uninterrupted cannonade against our coast batteries, but, being received by a well•sus tatned fire on the part of our artillery, and our carabineer marksmen, were obliged to retire after an enagement of two hours' duration." The St. Petersburg Journal, of the 28th of July, contains an additional correspondence between Ad miral Dundas and Prince Dolgorcuky, relative to the Hango affair. It consists of—first, a letter from Admiral Dundas to the Russian Minister of War, claiming, according to instructions received by him from th© Admiralty, the liberation of Lieutenant Geneste and the other members of the crew of the Cossack made prisoners on that occasion. Secondly, the reply of Prince Dolgorouky, refusing to liberate them, on the ground that the prisoners are legiti mate prisoners of war ; and, thirdly, a report from the burgomaster of the town of Raumo, in Fin land, which endeavour~ to show that the English took au unwarranted advantage of a flag of truce towards that town. A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg, re ceived via Berlin, states that Prince Gortschakoff had telegraphed to the Russian Government that, up to the Ist of August, nothing new had occurred at Sebastopol. AUSTRIA. The Post Ampt Gazette, under date of Vienna 31st ult., says :—" A bery long conference was held yesterday at Count Buol's, between that Minister and the Turkish and French Ambas sadors. Arif Effendi '•ad received despatches from Constantinople relative to the affairs of the Principalities and of Servia, ,and also con nected with the conferences which are to commence at Vienna on the fourth point." The Archduke Charles Louis, brother to the Emperor of Austria, has been appointed to the Lieutenantcy of Tyrol, and Count Bissingen to that of Venice. A letter from Vienna in the .Breslau Gazette, says :—" We learn that the government is about to increase the regiments of gendarmery, and no tice has been given to the officers of the active army that they may present themselves to enter this corps. It is thought that this increase of the gendarmery is for the purpose of employing that force in the maintenance of order in the Principali ties." The Venice Gazette mentions a rumour of serious disturbances having occurred at Ancona, in which a sergeant and a captain were killed, and martial law bad been proclaimed in consequence. SARDINIA. A letter from Balaklava, of the 20th ult., in the Opinione of Turin, announces that Major Cavalli, of the Sardinian army, is expected there with four field-guns of his own invention, the merit of which is to be tested in the present campaign. The Sardinian War-office has decided that hence forth infantry officers are to be armed with the sabre, like artillery officers, instead of with the sword. THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZW, Aug. 3.—The Princess Alice despatch boat, Lieutenant Underwood commanding, left the fleet at Nargen at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening last, and arrived here this morning with the weekly mails. She encountered, when off Dago Ort, a very heavy gale, which knocked away part of her starboard paddle-box, and much damaged the bulwarks. It is not at all imp obable that, be fore these lines reach you, the first blow this year will have been struck in the Baltic. A friend in the fleet, whose authority is excellent and worthy of all belief, writes me from off Nargen, Ist of August : " To-morrow we start for Sweaborg, which place we are going to attack. To attempt to anticipate the result of this expedition would, of course, be presump tuous ; it is, however, to be hoped, that the time has at length arrived when the affair at Hango," with its blood-thirsty massacre, will be deeply but honourably revenged." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. contain no news of interest. A letter of the 31st ult., received in advance of the mail, says : " Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, before leaving Ma drid, had a long conversation vbith the Infanta Isabella, eldest sister of the King, and with the Infanta Maria Amelia., whom he was to have married. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is to return to-day from Biarritz, where he went to see the'Emperor of the French, but his Ma jesty had left before he arrived. The Emperor, however, postponed his departure eleven hours, in the expectatio❑ of his arrival. A junta, for examining and proposieg re forms in the Customs Duties, has been formed under the superintendence of the General Direction of Customs. The voluntary subscriptions to the loan in the province of Madrid are much higher than time newspapers repre sent ; they already amount to 2,400,000 reels (the real is worth five sous), and it is supposed will reach 16,000,000 reals out of the 22,000,000 assigned to that province. The cholera seems to be on the decline." The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the following : " It is certain that the representatives of France and England at Madrid have never made, and have consequently never renewed, au application to the Spanish Government to send troops either to the Crimea or to Italy. It is an error to suppose that any division amonst the ministers, or a minis terial crisis, exists. The Minister of Foreign Af fairs, iu going to Biarritz, had no other object, apparent or real, than that of complimenting the chief of the neighbouring State, in the name of the Queen and the Spanish government ; any other statement on the subject is devoid of all founda tion." _ _ The other journals contain no news of interest. According to Las Novedades the voluntary sub scrip • Lion to the loan in Madrid, though required to amount to 22,000,000 teals (the real is worth five sous), had only reached 120,000 reals. The Clamor _Public° says that the Bank of San Fer nando had encountered some difficulty in pro viding funds to the Treasury to pay the claims of the month of June, but that some pri vate friends of the Minister of Finance had advanced the Treasury what it required. The Clamor says also that the 20,000,000 reals bor rowed in Paris were shortly expected. The Captain General of Catalonia having learned that Carlist agents iu the nrincipalities were endeavour ing to se4uce soldiers from their duty,' had issued an order of the day to the troops offering 1,000 reals and his discharge to any soldier who should denounce any man attempting to induce him to violate his duty. A letter of the 30th ult., received in advance of the mail, says : " Th© Gazette publishes a royal ordinance regulating the manner in which the delivery of the ecclesiastical property is to be proceeded to, before being sold. The Government is carrying out measuresfor the sale of such property with great activity. The civil governor of Madrid has seized all that is to be found in his district, and the sale of it is to commence forthwith. Everything now causes it to be hoped that the peace of Barcelona will not be again disturbed. The Minister of Public Works has settled the questions raised by the workmen by deciding that there shall be liberty of capital, liberty of labour, that coalitions shall be prohibited, and that workmen's associations, except for charitable purposes, shall not exist. It has been further decided that stran• ; Tors arriving in Barcelona shall obtain a permission to remain from the authorities, or shall be liable to expul sion. In Barcelona the manufacture and sale of arms of all descriptions has been prohibited.",i ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 28th ult., in the Pie monte of Turin, states that in the secret consistory Qf the 26th, the Pope alluded to the affairs of Spain and -to those of Piedmont, protesting against the proceedings of those governments. The canton of Ticino was also mentioned as having violated the canon law, in attempting to adapt it to the laws of the country. A letter from Cagliari in the Italia e Popolo of Genoa, states that on the 23d ult. the Sardinian recruits of the 15th regiment revolted, took up arms, and attempted to force the gate of the bar racks, with a view to return to their homes. Order was, however, speedily restored, and the ringlead ers arrosted. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARS MLLES, Aua. 3.—Troops of every arm con tinue to arrive here by the railway. A great por tion are sent forward on foot to Toulon, where there is at present more shipping than at Marseil les. The) noble English steamer Columbian sailed on Tues( lay afternoon for Kamiesh, having the transport Balancein tow. The Balance went off short of hands. Five of her crew are in prison, charged with haviin ill-treated a policeman who interfered to put an end to a drunken row on Sunday night. Mr. Birch, the British Vice-Consul, wished the magistrate to dispose of the case summarily, in order that the ship should not be deprived of the services of the men, but he decided that they should be committed for trial. It is a fact, very creditable to the British merchant navy, that this is the first complaint against any English seaman since the commencement of the war. The Cale donia of Leitlit sailed for the Crimea on Wednesday with detachments of the 72d and 75th Regiments. The Harmon ia of Greenock is receiving an enor mous quantity of shot and shell. The Isabella Croll sails to-morrow with horses. The British steamer VubDan arrived from Kamiesch on Wednesday. She landed 75 sick and wounded at Port Vendres, whence they were transferred to the military hospital of Perpignan, where accom modation has been prepared for a large number. The American steamer William Penn, and the Eng lish steamer Tuhalcain, arrived from the Blank Sea, yesterday, to embark troops. The war corvette Megere arrived here, on Tuesday, from Toulon. She embarked 600 troops, and sailed for Civita Vecchia on Wednesday morning. The port of Toulon just now presents a most animated appearance. The ships of the line Napo leon, Prince Jerome, Jupiter, Trident, Donawerth, Duguesclin, and Marengo are anchored in the roads, together with the frigates I Jranie, Ven geance, Erigone, Syrene, and the steam corvette Reine Hortense. The Fleurus has sailed for Ka miesch with 1,500 men. The French Government have renewed their engagement with the owners of several steamers whose period of service had expired. They have, however, made a considerable reduction in the freights. Touache, Brothers, have re-engaged their new large steamers, France and Bresil, to the French Government for eight months—a sign that no speedy termination of the war is expected. The great fair of Beaucaire has terminated. The sanguine expectations entertained by the manufac turers at the opening of the fair have not been realised. The sale of raw silk particularly has been very limited. The supply was not abundant, and the high rates demanded are said to have deterred many purchasers. Prices varied from 35f. to 70f. the kilo gramme, according to quality. Cotton manufactured goods were in better demand, and brought fair prices. Fine woollen cloths were neglected, but the coarser qualities were all disposed of at a rise of from 6to 10 per cent. on former years. Tanned leather was eagerly sought for, and the stock being limited in amount brought readily an advance of from 20 to 25 per cent. AUSTRALIA.
