Another meeting in the metropolis of England has indicated the extension of enthusiasm among our fellow-countrymen in behalf of the Hungarians. London has not set its example in vain to West minster. The scene witnessed in the London Tavern and in Captain liaLL's Riding Academy has been equalled in point of comparative numbers, and, if that be possible, surpassed in its exhibition of resolute and energetic devotion to the cause of Magyar inde pendence. A little while and the reiterated declara tions of the people must exercise a visible influence over the Government. A little while and the Cabinet, either coinciding with the multitude, will recognize the necessity of an immediate interposition between the belligerents, or assuming an attitude of direct antagonism with the country will be compelled to withdraw from the administra tion of the affairs of the empire. That man must be blind with prejudice, or deaf to the portentous in dications of public *cling, who cannot recognise a fact perceptible to every rational and reflective observer, that fact being that the continuance or dissolution of the Russell Government is dependent upon the great question of Hungary. Never before was any senti ment or any opinion so rapidly diffused throughout a population as the sentiment of England's sympathy for, and the opinion of England's con viction in, the justice of the glorious war now raging in the country of the Danube l'tween the race of the heroic Magyars and the le gions of Austrian and Russian despotism. Never did the people of the United Kingdom become so ra p'elly and cordially unanimous upon any question of public policy even in reference to their own internal government. That consideration alone is sufficient to augur well for the realisation of the noble and ge nerous ambition of the British multitude—the ambition of affualing the aid of their friendship, and, if necessary, of their arms both naval and military, Co the gallant and illustrious Hungarians. We ray, if necessary, of their arms both naval and unitary, for it would be the height of folly, or the depth of stuvidity, to suppose that a eonntry like England—the arbitress of all the desti nies of Europe—could dream for a single moment of declaring herself in favour of the cause of Hungary withoat being prepared in case of a necessity to draw her sword in vindication of that course, and in de fence of her own opinions. Why, those whO speak of protesting against the interference of the AUTOCRAT, and who yet shriek from declaring that the country should, bc:fore uttering that protest, be in rreadiness to uphold her views with her land and maritime forces are labouring most effectually to degrade the glory of Great Bri tain. Were England to recognize the independence of Hungary, and to issue the only protest that could be forwarded to the two Emperors—namely, a de mand that the Hungarian territories should be evacu etN by all foreign troops before a certain period, say forty days, had expired—what would be the effect if, on the expiration of the stipulated interval, her atti tude still continued pacific ? Why, the golden howl of her political life would be broken— the Queen of all the maritime nations, an .cient or modern, w ould be the laughing-stock of all the races of Christendom—an insult unrepelled would be branded on the forehead of our beloved SOVEREIGN—the moral power of her sceptre would have dwindled from a living fact to a shadowy recol l•_Ctlon of the Past. Talk not of the atrocity of war and of the culpability of those who, by inflammatory adjurations' endeavour to ex cite a population to ent er the hats of ' . battle. The a trocity devolves upon the criminal oninators of the struggle CpiliSt Hungary, the cul pab ility to the infamous dT e•ots of the northern app °a ertai l n ' is f:oo. jr.. i s the CzAn. who ha s hurled ct Ef , g!a n'i t ! p:ovocation of yieldi ng to the Jiala heal detnands of the Camatilla surrounding the-youthful Emperor of AUSTRIA. And is not that tion s ufficient in all conscience ; is it not more provocation it not absolutely un than sufficient, or rather, is endurable It is nothing less, in fact, than the violation of all treaties —the violation of the confidence of the western countries—the violation of the sacred frontiers of Hungary—the violation of all codes, Human and Divine—the violation of the first princi ples of Justice. And yet, in the face of this outrage upon the friendship and reputation of England, it is said that we should preserve an attitude of indifference. Or, it is said by others, that we should remonstrate with the aggressors, but under no circumstance forward the purpose of our remonstrance by a resort to the energies reservei exactly for such emergencies. As one of the speakers last evening at the meeting in Westminster very felicitously said, quoting from one of the shrewdest, as it is certainly one of the wittiest works ever written, exclaimed in the language of Hudibras— " Sympathy without relief, Is like to mustard without beef." Our sympathy for the Hungarians has gone quite far enough in mere words—we must now sympathise in fact, sympathise in earnest, sympathise in action We must compel the Government to show that Eng land is no mere braggart in her devotion to freedom, or else we shall only be an object of mingled ridi cule and astonishment. We should be the Shrew of Nations, scolding the AUTOCRAT, and abusing the KAISAR ; but looking, nevertheless, at the perpe tration of their atrocities in Hungary, with ignoble apathy, regarding the battle between Liberty and Des potism at a very respectful distance I Away with this paltry dereliction of the noblest duty, and of the holiest principle—the duty and the principle of true patriotism ! NicuoLes has himself thrown down the gauntlet of defiance. It is the part of England to repel the insult, to acknowledge the in. pendence of the Hungarians, and to protest against the invasion of their territories. Then—in the event of that protest being disregarded—the crim' and culpability of the struggle will descend threefold upon the heads of the original aggressors, when " We take our stand, And draw the brand, As in the ancient days!" Justice and our national honour alike impel us to this course. Interest also incites us to declare at once boldly and decisively for the Hungarians—for by so doing we should open a new and enormous field for our merchandise. We are called upon, moreover, to act thus out of a regard for our imperial supremacy, out of our allegiance to civilization, and out of our homage and reverence for religion. Already we have quoted into our columns a docu ment showing the tendency of Russian ambition, as indicated in the Will of PETER the GREAT. That singular effusion, however, only indicates a slight portion of that spoliative and domineering lust of dominion. The ambition of Russia is directed to the acquisition of three kinds of authority— Political Supremacy, Commercial Supremacy, Religious Supremacy, As Englishmen, we are called upon to oppose the two former, and as Christians we are required to withstand the latter. And to withstand the extension of the Greek Church is incumbent upon all creeds alike, upon all Christians without dis tinction. Indifferent to the development of ethical truth, or of ecclesiastical orthodoxy, the aim of the AUTOCRAT is to forward the Church through which he wields an irresponsible power—driving its doctrines upon the acceptance of Europe and Asia, driving them in, like a wedge, between Mahometanism, Pro testantism, and Catholicism. Every Catholic, every Protestant—nay, every Mahometan, must conse quently feel an innate antagonism to the views and policy of the AUTOCRAT. Hence the Hungarians might naturally look to England, to France, and to Turkey, for their simultaneous assistance. What will be the response of England ? We are compelled to postpone until to morrow the publication of our very lengthened report of the great meeting held last evening in Westminster. The period best suited for the successful agitation of any great national amelioration is that when there is an absence of any extraordinary degree of excitement or irritation, when the nation is in the enjoyment of undisturbed peace and tranquillity, and when there are no peculiar causes in operation to prejudice or influence the judgment of the people. The voice of public opinion is then peculiarly power ful. The validity of the arguments for and against any proposed reform can be carefully and accurately considered and a sound conclusion arrived at. At such a time there are no superfluous elements to disturb the calculation, no feelings of exasperation to influence the popular mind, or to produce excessive demands which cannot be sustained or justified by the voice of truth and reason. The various classes, in place of being obstinately fixed to their own peculiar opinions, will be prepared to make moderate conces sions and to co-operate with the general body for the attainment of safe and practicable measures. They will accept what some believe to be only instal ments of justice, rather than, by at once pressing for the full extent of their rights, afford powerful assist ance to the enemies of all reform, and thus enable them to maintain their position, despite the efforts of the moderate party. Timid politicians, too, who shudder at any radical or sweeping alterations, will feel more disposed to come forward to array them selves on the side of the people, and to add their weight to the popular ranks. They will not re gard the propositions brought forward as the results of a feeling of despair that desires any change, how ever dangerous to the best interests of society. Each suggestion will be considered on its own merits, and not marred by any extrinsic influences. The time, then, is peculiarly appropriate for the labours of a great society like the Metropolitan Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association. The middle and the working classes, who have too long been alienated, will —nay, have—become united, and will co-operate together zealously and energetically for the " extinc tion of abuses, and the elevation of the masses to the rights of citizenship." The Parliamentary reforms which the Council of the Association have, " after repeated deliberations, and having consulted with the leaders of all reforms," decided on advocating, are fivefold, which, to adopt the language of opponents, we are quite satisfied to term " the five points of the new league," which are as follows, viz. : " 1. Such an extension of the franchise as will give to every male occupier of a tenement, or any portion of a tenement, for which he shall be rated, or shall have claimed to be rated, to the relief of the poor, the right to be registered as en elector. "2. Tho adoption of the system of voting by ballot. "3. Ihe limitation of the duration of Parliament to three years. "4. Such a change in the arrangement of the electoral districts as shall produce a more equal apportionment of representatives to constituents. "5. The abolition of the property qualification for Members of Parliament." First in position, as it unquestionably is in impor. :ance, comes the great question of the extension of the franchi'e—of bestowing upon those who have hitherto been deprived of their unquestionable rights, and reduced to the condition of political cyphers, the privilege of being represented in the national councils, of voting for those who are to enact laws for the general government of the country, and to impose taxation to which all must contribute. If the consti tutional axiom, " that there should be no taxation without representation," be well-founded—if, as laid down by Lord CAMDEN, it be " one of the laws of nature that whatever is a man's own is absolutely his own ;" and that " no man has a right to take it without the consent of the possessor, expressed either by himself or his repre sentative ;" and that " whoever attempts to do so commits an injury and a robbery," there are six sevenths of the adult male population of these king doms injured and robbed under the present system. So long as indirect taxation is sanctioned and tole rated—io long as duties are demanded on the chief necessaries and comforts of life, every individual consumer is entitled to be represented in the popular branches of the Legislature. There should be univer sal suffrage in its most extensive signification, those only being rejected who, in place of being the crea tors and producers of natio nal wealth, and discharging the duties of free citizens in the positions in which they may of the general be respectively placed , become useless and unprofitable consumers stock, either from their own crimes or their own idleness and apathy ; in fact all, except convicted criminals, so long as they may be undergoing the punishment due to their offences against society, and paupers who look to the public for support—all but the inmates of the prisons and the workhousE s should be possessed of the right to vote. Although the Association does not go the full length of universal suffrage, it advocates a measure that would place the franchise within the reach of every well-disposed and indust r i ous man, and which wculd at once more than quadruple the number of voters. It desires to make every man who directly contributes to the i public exchequer, or to the support of the poor, en. titled to a vote :—" Every male occupier of a tenement, or ca iy portion of a tenement, for which he shall be rated, or shall have claimed to be rated to the relief of the poor, shall have a right to be registered as an elector." This should surely satisfy the most enthu siastic advocate of popular rights, more especially as it should be remembered that another object of the association is to procure a total alteration in the fiscal system, and the substitution of direct for indi rect imposts. When that reform also is obtained there will no longer be taxation without representa tion, and every man who contributes in any degree to the national finances will also have a voice in their disposal. Having obtained the suffrage the people must be guarded against any undue interference in the exer cise of their newly acquired rights. For this purpose " the ballot" is also demanded, for without its aid the franchise might become a curse in place of a blessing to its possessor. By its means, and its means only, coercion and intimidation would be rendered impos sible. The establishment of the vote by ballot is there fore a necessary supplement to the extension of the suffrage, second only in importance to the possession of the right itself. The admirable speech of Lord NUGENT must for ever remove any difficulties that might have existed on this subject ; it completely answers the hacknied argument—if argument it can be called—that the vote by ballot is an unmanly and un-English custom. Next, after the right of voting and manner of voting, naturally comes the question of the duration of Parliament, on which depends the amount of control that the constituencies shall exercise over their representatives. The sep tennial term is manifestly too long, as rendering members too indifferent as to the wishes of the electors, and careless of the strict observance of the pledges they may have given on the hustings. Annual Parliaments are possibly equally objec tionable, for those who have been selected would be called upon to surrender their trust before they had acquired an experience of Parliamentary usages, or been afforded an opportunity of exhibiting their qualifications for the station. Triennial Parliaments, as advocated by the Association, will probably suit every good purpose more nearly that any other that could be selected. The equalisation of electoral districts is so clearly demanded by justice and policy, that any reform of which it did not form a consituent portion would be utterly inadequate to the wants and wishes of the people. We have so repeatedly put forward our views on this all-important subject, that it is unnecessary to recapitulate the many cogent arguments in its favour; nor indeed would our space permit it on the present occasion. We are, indeed, rejoiced to find that the Association have at length, upon mature consideration, deter mined on seeking for the abolition of the property qualification. No restriction will thus affect or narrow the right of selection. The electors will be enabled to send forward the man of their choice, whose opinions are most in accordance with their own, and whom they believe to be capable of giving full expression thereto. Those who would refuse to accept the large and comprehensive m( a sures above indicated would, indeed, be guilty of the utmost folly, and would be unworthy of the privileges for which the people are now struggling. Let them raly around the Association, and contribute every man his mite to its finances. By such means will a speedy triumph be ensured—a triumph which, in the words of the report, " will tend to the preservation of our most valuable institutions, give stability and protection to property, elevate and improve the con dition of all classes of the people, and consequently , raise the kingdom to a height of prosperity and gran deur which, amidst all its successes, it has never yet attained." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC The only Paris papers published yesterday were the National and the Reforme, the other papers having strictly observed the feast of the Assumption as a close holiday. The split between the parti pretre and the other sections of the majority is becoming every day wider. The parti-pretre, emboldened by the presence of M. DE FALLoux in the Cabinet, and c.f General CHAN.. GARNIER at the head of the army, declare that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the restoration of the sacerdotal power, as it was before 1789, in the days when CALAS was judicially murdered and Pro testants were hunted down like vermin. It is rumoured that an attempt will be made to get up addresses in the Departments, praying for such a revision of the Constitution as will extend the period during which the PRESIDENT of the Republic may continue to hold office. M. GENT, one of the representatives accused of being implicated in the affair of the 13th of June, sur rendered himself to the authorities on Monday, and after undergoing an examination was set at liberty. The trials of the accused of the 13th of June will commence on the 10th of October, at Versailles. • Mr. HEALD and the Countess of LANDSEELDT (LOLA MONTES) have left Paris for Germany. M. BALLARD, the Director of the Democratic and Socialist Propaganda, who was arrested on the 15th of June, has been realeased. It is expected that M. CARNOT will be elected a representative of the Cote d'Or, in the place of the late M. JAMES DEMONTREY. The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes a dispatch from the Prefect of the Drome, announcing that the Court of Assizes has just pronounced sentence on the persons implicated in the riots at Marseilles. Out of about 150 who had been brought to trial, 57 have been found guilty and condemned to different punish ments, from transportation to simple imprisonment. Everything had passed off with pert'ect calmness.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 11th contains the official report of the operations of the Russian army in Transylvania, from which it appears that as soon as Lieutenant-General GROTENUELM ascertained that in consequence of an engagement at Shassbourgb, in which the insurgents were worsted, they were re treating from Maros Vasarhely, he advanced his own troops from Isass Regen to Vasarhely. The corps reached the place towards evening, occupied a posi tion without the city, near the neighbouring village of Nayaralo, and effected a junction with the corps of General LUDERS, whose advanced guard entered Vijs the same day. The enemy immediately commenced a march in the direction of Galfalao, whither the combined corps were to pursue it on the evening of the 4th. The Wiener Zeitung of the 12th states that Gene ral LUDERS has defeated BEM at Schossburg. The German Reform, however, says that the intelli gence from the seat of war is by no means so favour able to the Austrians as is represented by the Vienna journals, and that it is very generally apprehended, from various reports and rumours, that the insurgents will, ere long, make an attrck upon the Austrian frontier. The report of the defeat of PASKIEWITCH by GEORGEY remains uncontradicted. The mother of the EMPEROR has left Vienna •in consequence of the serious differences which have arisen between herself and her son on the subject of the Hungarian war, and it is said that the dismissal of SCHWARTZENBERG is also resolved on. Should he be dismissed, the EMPEROR will probably at once enter into negotiations with the Hungarians. BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—Yester da y a 'netting of the menders of this institution wa , held at the Committee-room, Paternoster-row. The invested capital nocv amounts to 17,853/. 10s. 101.

SIR JAMES CLARK, BART.—This distinguished HAMBURGH. member of the medical profession, who accompanied SERIOUS EMEUTE. her Majesty en her visit to her Irish dominions, has Aletter from Hamburgh of the 14th says, yesterday been clea n ' an t4onorary Fellow of the Royal College when the 2d battalion of the 15th regiment of Prussian of Physicians of Dublin. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TILREE. The - sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterc 7 ay were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which speculators took 1,000 American and 2,000 Surat. The trarsactions comprised 4,000 American, at 4:1. to 61; 300 Pernam buco, at 58d. to 51d.; 200 Bahia, at 51d.; 2.000 Egyp• tian, 50. to 711; 300 Surat, at nil. to 441.; and 100 Sea Island at 100. to ls. 21d. per 10. 'The market was not quite so active, but remained steady, ...and holders maintained the recent advance in prices with much firm ness.—Railway Shares were firmer, and prices • had an upward tendency. In the Grain - Alarket the arrivals are moderate, and the trade is dull. The amount of business done this week in the markets for colonial and foreign produce has been satisfactory, if not very extensive, and supplies have not been pressed forward by auction. Privately more has been done in sugar than by public sale. Ceylon caFee has continued in favour, and brandy, rum, and rice have commanded more attention. Dye goods have been in request, and cotton has risen. Black teas have been steady, and tallow dull. The following is a table of duties in the New Customs Amendment Act:— infantry arrived, the people gathered in great masses and pelted them with stones. Another party tried to shut the gate by which they entered against them. Tire soldiers used their arms against the people, and there was a regular battle, in which of course the military loss was comparatively insignificant, while that of the people was considerable. Ten soldiers were carried off to the hospital, five rounds were fired by the soldiers. During the night a part of the burgherwehr united with the excited multitude to build barricades close to the Riding-school, where the battalion was quartered. At these barricades fresh conflicts ensued. Towards the morning the barricades were cleared away, and later everything was quiet. PRUSSIA. The First Chamber held a sitting on the 13th, in the course of which the Minister of the Interior stated that he should soon lay on the table of the House tv% o Bills, the one containing a new code of commercial administration, the other for repressing offences against the game-laws. The Minister of Justice then rose to state that the present electoral law must only be regarded as temporary, and subject to the revision of the Chamber. He further requested the Chamber would sanction his proposition for prolonging the action of this temporary law until r - vised. The same Minister then laid on the table two memoirs justifying the continuation of the state of siege at Posen and Breslau. M. SIGERT, reporter of the commission chosen to investigate Count EULENHERG'S motion for the suspension of the organization of the Burgher Guard, and for the dismissal of all those corps now existing, stated that the matter wus agreed to by the committee. He stated, among other observationq, that upwards of 2,000 petitions had been forwarded to the House, some declaring the law of organisation to be defective in almost all points; others declaring the institution to be useless, and not harmonious with the spirit of the people, and others condemning the Burgher Guard as more dangerous than beneficial to the State. After a short debate, the motion was agreed to by 62 against 45 votes, and the House ad journed. The Second Chamber met at half-past one, under the presidency of Count SCHERWIN. The previous protocol having been read, the names of the eight secretaries elected on Saturday were announced, and those members took, their places in the bureau. The President then rose, and in a short and impres sive speech proposed a vote of thanks to the army and land wehr, praying the House, as he terminated, to ratify his proposition by rising. The Chamber, on this, rose in a body, and gave utterance to their sa tisfaction in a loud and prolonged cheer. Silence being restored, the Minister of War returned thanks. He was followed by the Minister of the Interior, who laid upon the table six different Bills, having divers administrative ameliorations for their object, and all conceived in a liberal and candid spirit. These Bills were forthwith referred to the committees. After a short debate upon subjects of no external interest, the House adjourned until Tuesday, when the report on three or lour of the most urgent Bills will be brought up. The Count of MONTEMOLIN has arrived at Berlin, and his dined with the King of PRUSSIA and the Royal Family. BRUNSWICK. The Brunswick Chambers have assented to the proposition f or a dh er i ng t o the triple allia nce b y a majority of 31 to 21. WURTEMB URG. The Chambers were dissolved on the 11th. XON Y. The Minister of tile Interior has ordered the Corn rnuual Guard to be dissolved preparatory to its re. organization. FRANKFORT. The Archduke Joim was expected to arrive at Frankfort on the 18th. An attempt will be made by Austria (who long since repudiated the German Parliament) to revive the authority of the Archduke (an authority depending solely on the existence of that Parliament, and dying with it), for the purpose of upholding the cause of Austrian supremacy. The Austrian Cabinet is excessively irate against Prussia because no allusion was made in the KING'S speech, on opening the Prussian Chambers, to Austria. The Austrian Lloyd's, the organ of the Austrian Government, thus comments on the speech : " It is remarkable, that the name of Austria is not once mentioned in the opening speech. The Prussian state appears as if it wished not to know that its southern neighbour was in existence. We thank the Brandenburgh Cabinet for at last giving us a certainty. That ministry of coup d'etat, rendered arrogant with the success which a popular representation uninformed and fettered has given it, now Leeks a wider field for its bold spirit of enterprise. It wants now to octroy Prussia in reality at the head of Germany. It wants to make a new map for this land, where you may look in vain for Vienna, for Gratz, or Innspruck, possibly, too, for Munich. In this laudable undertaking, how ever, it may chance to stumble upon a resistance less passive than what has been shown by the majority of the Prussian people. The German central power still re mains in the hands of the Archduke John. One word is still able to give to that power the substance and the vigour it has hitherto been without. That the legiti mate authority of the Vicar of the Empire over Germany be infringed upon as little by the usurpation of North- German princes as by that of South-German dema gegues, to see to this, is now Austria's duty, as it is its interest." ITALY. There is but litte doubt that GARIBALDI has suc ceeded in escaping to Venice. The murder of the Priest BASSI, ,at Bologna, by order of an Austrian drum-head court-martial has excited the most in - tense sensation. BASSI was not an Austrian subject, nor was he taken in arms, and the only ex cuse the Austrian officer can have for his conduct is, that he must consider himself as holding the appoint ment of executioner to the POPE. Tne conduct of the Austrians in this affair fully justifies the Sardinian Government in having refused to make peace until ananmesty should have been granted to the Lombards. The persecution is not confined to the Republicans, but extends to all who are not furious parthans of the priests. ZANOLINI, the mayor of Bologna, who headed the deputation to the POPE, requesting him to take up his residence in that city, and Count Am- BARDE RANUZZI, who is known as a sturdy anti republican, have both been arrested for signing an address praying for a restoration of the Constitution ; and a lady of rank has been condemned to a year's hcprisonment, because a gun was found in her house. It was rumoured that the POPE had been assassi nated, but no credit was attachel to the report. The Neapolitan troops have received orders to quit the Roman territory. The Roman Triumvir SAFFI, has arrived at Turin. LITERAT (IRE. SIDNEY'S EMIGRANT JOURNAL. New Series. No. 1. This unpretending little work is one of the most useful of magazines, affording as it does plain prac tical directions to persons willing to emigrate. Do any such wish to know where, and when, and how they may most advantageously employ their labour, or improve their fortunes ? They may obtain that information in " Sidney's Emigrant Journal." The present number contains information from Australia, _New Zealand, Wisconsin (United States), and Texas. All persons who take an interest in the question of emigration should read " Sidney's Journal." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. The Huguenots was performed here last night for the last time this season with the same perfection which has always distinguished its representation at this theatre. Grist, who was in superb voice, never sang or acted better in her life; she was repeatedly called on during the course of the performance, and had bouquets innu merable thrown to her. Angri also was excellent, and the Raoul de Nangis of Mario was perfect. Marini looked the rough old veteran to the life, and sung and acted superbly. N e ver has the Piff-paff bee❑ given with greater spirit. It was, of course, rapturously en cored. The chorusses were superbly rendered ; the scene of blessing the daggers was perfectly thrilling. The house was exceedingly well attended. CREMORNE GARDENS. For the last three days these gardens have been crowded every morning. to witness the day fetes, in which Mr. Batty, and his magnificent stud, take the principal part. This fete, which commences at two o'clock in the afternoon, and terminates shortly after five, is a repro sentatioa of th e ce l e b ra ted Eglintoun T ournament. Lists have been fitted up in the gardens, and there the Queen o f Beauty and her attendants take thei r places on the throne o f honour, and the Knights appear i n the li sts, an d j oust and tilt. The fittings up of the arena are in the Gothic style; and a sp e c ta t or m i ght, w i th a very sma ll stretch of the imaginative, fanny himself transported back to the middle ages. This entertainment, which is of a peculiarly interesting chancter from its historical associations, pro mises to be most successful. The gardens have been crowded each day, and the applause has been enthusias tic. It ail), we understand, be repeated in the course of next week. ARTICLES.

The Exchange on London was 13.9 f, and the price of Gold 437. Not much was doing in Bills of Exchange, but drafts on London were in request. Money conti nued easy. The unfortunate collision between the Rus sian troops and the mob at Hamburgh was regarded as a mere casual occurrence.. At St. Petersburgh on the 7th inst. the Tallow Market was much quieter, and prices were rather on the decline. In the Stock Market at Frankfort on the 13th inst. the quotation for Austrian Bonds was 77, and the Metalfics at Vienna on the 11th were 93k. The demand for Dutch Stock was less brisk at Amsterdam on Wednes day, and the Two-and-a Half per cents. wero quoted 52-1. to 52 13-16. The detailed propositions of the Mexican Govern ment have been communicated to us by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, and we are glad to find that they fill up satisfactorily the outline before kit en. The four millions 'cf dollars of the American indemnity money will be paid over as received by the Government, i❑ liquidation of the ar rears of interest, at the favourable f xchange of 46d., being taken proportionably in third parts from the portion not yet recovered. There will also be five hundred thousand dollars given us a compensation for the reduction of past arrears of dividend, and the present arrangement, if not faithfully carried out, will be abrogated, leaving the bondholth rs to fall back upon their old rights. After the regular West India mail arrives with the originals of the letters from Mr. W. P. Robertson, and we presume that only the dupli cates have as yet been received, the Committee will no doubt call a public meeting of the bondholders to hear their views upon the arrangement. The steamer will bring also a further amount, it is hoped, toward the dividend. The Funds are very buoyant, and there is more money business doing. Consols have been 92. - to 8 for transfer, and 92it to 93 for September. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 93i to Bank Stock is firm at 199 to 200. Exchequer-bills are 453. to 475. premium. The Foreign Securities are quiet, but well supported. Spanish Five per Cents. 188, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 281. Mexican are 281- to 28k. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. are about 524 to 531. The Great Western Railway meeting seems to have gone off much more amicably than was expected, and the shares are firmer, but sales have been pressed in Caledonian, Midland, and North Western, all of which are lower. There is not much doing. ON L O'OCIA K. 01.nsINO 'nil 'TS !";1' tgllT.l6q i'UND)I rEI(ES. ',lank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Arms ..... . per Cent.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week coastwise, have been confined to 1,050 quarters. By land carriage very fine samples have reached us. The supply on offer here to-day was very limited, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing to the rapid progress making in the fields and the prospects of large imports from the Baltic, was in a very inactive state, at barely Monday's quoit': Lions. From abroad we have re ce i ve d 7,19 0 quarter s ot Wheat. Selected samples were generally ' , Fla at full currencies ; but all other qualities ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. No thing cluing in floating cargoes. Notwithstanding, the show of Barley was small, that article was slow n: sale, and the turn in favour of the buyers. We had only a retail inquiry for Malt and previous prices vvO e not easily obtained even for th.l finest quality. Owing to the small arrivals, Oats were firm, and 6d per quarter higher than on Monday. New grey Peas were is lower' Beans ruled heavy. Indian Corn, Meal and Flour without alteration. Malt. Flour.
