From the Dublin Gazette of Friday it appears that the Right Honourable JOHN RICHARDS, one of the Barons of her MAJESTY'S Court of Exchequer in Ire land, and MONTIFORD LONGFIELD, Esq. , Q.C., Professor of Law in Trinity College, Dublin, have been duly sworn in as two of the three Commis sioners under the Act 12th and 13th VICTORIA, cap. 77, for the sale of encumbered estates in Ireland 'I heir able coadjutor CHARLES JAMES HARGREAVES, Esq., the eminent English conveyancer, will be sworn in on a future occasion. It is satis factory to find that the vast powers con ferred by this most important statute have been confided to men of honour, experience, and pro found learning, whose very names afford the most perfect guarantee that the Act will be carried into execution in strict accordance with its spirit and meaning, that its extensive provisions will not be frittered away by useless and expensive precau tions that would practically neutralize its beneficial effects, and render it worse than useless ; neither will there be any rash or wild administration calculated to render this most salutary law a dangerous experiment. Its enactments will only be brought into operation when it is clearly established that it will be for the benefit of all parties concerned, as well of the inheri tors and creditors of the encumbered estates as of the public generally, that they should be resorted to; and when that is the case :no absurd quibble or over caution will be suffered to impede its progress or defeat its efficacy. Baron RICHARDS, the first Commissioner, is not only peculiarly qualified for the duties of the sta tion, but he possessed claims upon thelrish Government that have been too long disregarded, and could not again be overlooked. His great experience as an equity lawyer had pointed him out as a fitting candi date for the highest judicial appointment in the gift of the Irish Government; but his reasonable expec tations were repeatedly disappointed, and he was looked upon in Ireland as affording a striking illus tration of Whig ingratitude. Sprung from a family of high respectability, which, had for a long period been settled in the county of Wexford, his father had risen to the highest distinction as a surgeon in the Irish metropolis, where he realised a large professional in come. His sou, the subject of the present notice, had been called to the Lar at an early age. In a short time he got into very considerable business, and, what was at that time very unusual, almost entirely re stricted to cases in equity. In the:Rolls' Court his services were eagerly sought after. His thorough knowledge of Chancery practice, his calm and gen tlemanly deportment, his admirable "court manner," secured him a brief in almost every case of importance argued in that Court, and he speedily acquired among that shrewd body, the Irish solicitors, the cognomen of "Rolls' Richards"—a sufficient,indica tion of the position he then occupied. He was for many years in legal parlance the recognised ." leader" of the Court, where all questions connected with the management of estates under the jurisdiction of Chancery, and the distributicn of the funds obtained by sales under the Court, were disposed of. It was not, however, in questions of practice that he was alone sought after; his sound practical knowledge of " real property law" rendered his advocacy peculiarly valuable in the most intricate and difficult points that c.one before the equity tribunals of his country. Ifis high and varied attainments as a lawyer, as well as his consistent and earnest advocacy of Liberal principles, pointed him out as one of the earliest recipients of the patronage cf the Whig Government. Shortly after Lord MELBOURNE became Prime Minister, Mr. RICHARDS, then a Queen's Counsel in first-class business, was offered the distinguished and lucrative app int ment of an Indian judgeship. This Mr. RIC HARM willingly accepted, being anxious to en joy the otium cum dignitate which he had so honourably earned, and also to escape the cares and turmoils of political life. His desires in this respect were not, however, destined to be gratified. immediately before the time fixed on for his departure to assume the duties of his situation the office of Solicitor General became vacant by the elevation of the Right Hon. LOUIS PERRIN to the judicial bench, and the promo tion of the late lamented Sir MICHAEL 0 1 LOGHLEN to the Attorney- Generalship. The vacant office was tendered to Mr. RICHARDS, and at first re fused. He was unwilling to relinquish the judgeship to which he had been appointed, which was peculiarly acceptable to him, and every preparation for which had been already completed. Every persuasion was resorted to in order to induce him to change his resolution, and he was only pre vailed upon to do so upon the earnest solicitation of Lord NORMANDY, who felt the importance of securing his services as one of the law officers of the Crown. lie, however, at length consented, although very reluctlaroly, and it was generally acknowledged that h e had m a d e a great sacrifice, that should be taken into account at a fitting time. When Sir MICHAEL OTOODLEN was appointed a Baron of the Court of Exchequer, Mr. RICHARDS became Attorney-Gene ral, Sergeant "Noire being made Solicitor-General, in accordanc e w i t h the well known rule of the then Government, that one of the law officers should be a Protestant and the other a Roman Catholic. While filling this situation Sir WILLIAM AI ACM All ON, the then Master of the Rolls, died, and Mr. Iticnauns would have been entitled, according to the well known etiquette of the profession, to the refusal of the vacant office. Contrary to all pre cedent, however, it si as offered to, and accepted by, Sir MICHAEL OTOGIILEN. Mr. RICHARDS was justly indignant at this most unaccountable slight. lie remonstrated warmly at the insult, which was the more unjustifiable when his previous sacrifices were taken into account. He tendered his resigna- tion of office, and even refused to ask for a vacant I THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. assistant- barristership for a friend, which was generally looked upon as within the patronage of the Attorney- General for the time being. Every effort was made to appease his justly excited feelings, and at length he was prevailed upon to accept the vacant Barony of the Exchequer, it being fully understood that the earliest opportunity would be seized to repair the in jury that had been inflicted. When the Chief Barony became vacant by the death of the Right Honourable HENRY Jor, it was universally believed that Baron RICHARDS would be compensated for the former slight. He was, however, passed over a second time, and Mr. WOLFE received the appointment. On the death of Chief Baron WOLFE, scarcely a doubt re mained that Baron RICHARDS would be his successor, but again was he doomed to disappointment, the present Lord Chancellor having been gazetted to the situation. Shortly afterwards Sir ROBERT PEEL came into power, and Baron RICHARDS could look for or expect no favour at his hands, for he had ever been his steady and uncompromising opponent. But on the return of the Whigs to office it was supposed that he would receive tardy justice, by being nominated either to the vacant seals, or at least to the Chief Judgeship of the Court of which he had long been one of the highest ornaments. His claims and qualifications were, however, again disregarded, and he was suffered to remain a Puisne Baron. At length, we rejoice to say, some slight, although inadequate compensation has been rendered. Baron RICHARDS has received possibly the most important situation that has ever been filled in Ireland. On his administration will chiefly depend the regeneration of his country. It will be seen whether English capital can be attracted to Ireland—whether the present embarrassed landowners can be replaced by a solvent and wealthy proprietary, capable of dis charging the duties incidental to their position, and of fully developing the vast industrial re sources of the country. We believe that all that can be hoped for will be fully realised under the able superintendence of Baron RICHARDS and his talented coadjutors. It must not be forgotten that the appointment has been made but for a limited period, and it is said that Baron RICHARDS, so long as he retains his seat on the Exchequer bench, is to receive but half the emoluments of the situation. We regret that the length to which the preceding observations have extended prevents us from alluding to the professional qualifications of Professor LONG YIELD or of Mr. HARGREAVES, as we had intended. They will, we doubt not, be found in every particular fully competent to the arduous duties of the situa tion, and fitting assistants to Baron RICHARDS. Our columns and those of our Contemporaries are at present almost filled with details of murders, and of the apprehension of murderers. Every new day seems to bring forth fresh horrors. This species of news, these most heartrending and revolting parti culars, possess for a vast majority of readers a peculiar fascination ; they are attractive and almost pleasing to that morbid taste which delights in the horrible. Little as we sympathise with such a feeling, much indeed as we deplore its existence and deprecate its encouragement, there one of these calamitous cases which we cannot but consider a fit subject for general perusal. We allude to the death of an unhappy wife by the hand of a yet more unhappy husband, the ' prisoner WARD. It is customary to say nothing in reference to such cases before a public trial has made manifest the guilt or inno cence of the accused ; by this most excellent rule we shall practically abide. We shall say not one word relative to the extent of the wretched prisoner's guilt. We content ourselves with recommending to public attention the evidence given before the magis trate. It contains a moral lesson more efficacious than a hundred homilies. We listen to an exordium on the evil effects of passion, we read elaborate argu ments on the value of self-command, we, perhaps, admit the excellence of the one and of the other, and then turn away and forget them both. Let us, how ever, contemplate this catastrophe. The lesson it teaches is written in letters of blood; few, we should imagine, can peruse it unmoved, or, we should hope, unbenefited. We have heard of murders more appalling, and crimes more revolting in their details, but we remember none, in the simplicity of its horror, in the sad probability of all its circumstances, more impressive and more effective than this. Fic- I tion seldom equals truth either in tenderness or pathos. No five act tragedy ever exceeded in mournful or ap palling interest this tragedy, this life's history con ri,....a into one scene. The husband returns home at evening, the wife has been out to purchase his supper; they sit together by the fire-side. A discus sion takes place, angry words follow ; on both sides, perhaps, there is wilful provocation, or a disposition to be displeased. So far is not the picture daily realised in many a home ? How many can lay their hands on their hearts and exonerate themselves while they cast a stone at these ? Comparisons are proverbially " odious," and such a comparison, to all concerned, will appear especially so,—the greater the truth the greater the libel. Nevertheless one good consequence should be derived from such ca lamitous scenes, the benefit of a warning example. Let none, therefore, shrink from the appli cation of such an example as this. Angry words have passed between the husband and wife; w•e know not what provocatory language may have trembled upon her tongue, so soon to be stilled for ever ; we know not what indignant impulse may have stirred his heart, so soon to be rendered the home of very diffe rent feelings —we only know the catastrophe. The wretched man seizes the first implement in his way, and inflicts a blow which is death. If in the eyes of HIM who readeth the heart a thought is as sinful as the committed act, how many are morally as guilty as this man ? 'We say this, not by way of extenuating his offence, but merely as an evidence of how " in the midst of life we are in death," and how insecure is the happiness, and even the existence, of those who give way to passion. " A soft answer turneth away wrath," we all admit, although few condescend to put their faith in practice. No housewife ever treasured up a more valuable receipt than this ne glected proverb. Yet another scene of the tragedy has transpired, one hardly less melancholy than the preceding. The young child of the unhappy pair comes forward, in a voice broken by sobs and choked by tears, to recapitulate the sad details of her mother's death and her father's guilt, and the father, as he listens, covers his face and weeps aloud. Any com ment upon such a scene must seem tame and cold to those who have already perused the detailed account ; to those who have not we can only say, they need nol seek in the pages of a novel for the source of tears No heart, even the most callous, could contemplate that young child's agony unmoved. This, then, is a case which, terrible and tearful though it be, we commend as a fit subject of consideration. The ca- tastrophe is too appalling to be easily forgotten—the warning too much required to be passed over without notice. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR FROM MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—This morning the authorities of the above institution were greatly surprised by the discovery that a patient, named Frederick Peate, who had been injured while escaping from the police on being alarmed when breaking into the house of Mr. Rabies, furrier, Regent-circus, had effected his escape. The prisoner was brought to the hospital yesterday (Sunday) morning week, on which occasion his companion in crime, Henry Edgar Blackwell, was killed by falling from the roof of Mr. Rabies' house. Since his admission to the hospital the prisoner had been in the Clayton Ward, on the ground floor, and attended by Mr. Clap ham, surgeon, who found the injury he had sustained was dislocation of the right ankle. He was under the surveillance of the police, three of whom belonging to the C division detective were in constant attend ance on him, in turns of eight hours each. About four o'clock this morning, Elliott, the night porter, was informed by the constable who had been left in charge of the prisoner on the previous night that he had fallen asleep ond found, on waking, the prisoner missing. Every search was immediately made for him, but in vain, and on the other inmates of the ward being interrogated they all declared they had not witnessF d his departure. The prisoner, whose clothes were all kept from him but his trowsers, there is no doubt, assisted by some confederates, made his escape over the back garden wall into Charles-street-mews. A young man, walking Line, and without a coat, was about 12 o'clock seen to enter a public-house in Wells•street, wher e , after dri n ki ng a p i nt of porter, he l i mped out an d was driven off in a cab, which at that moment drew up. Every exertion to trace the retreat of the prisoner has hitherto been unsuccessful.

Mr. Higha m , of Bri g h ouse, attend ed o e l watch the proceedings on th e p ar t o f t h e accused.-- L ee d s d s Intelli gencer. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Legitimatists are becoming every day more and more bold ; they are now endeavouring, and in the endeavour they will succeed, to get rid of the only three honest men in the .Ministry, MM. DUFAURE, PASSY, and DE TOCQUEVILLE. The Assembles .Nationale, the organ of the DE FALLOUX section of the parti pretre, says—" The only consideration which may have tended to delay the dissolution of the Ministry was the reconstitution of a new Cabinet. That question appears now to be resolved. M. MoLE will accept the Foreign Office with the Presidency of the Council, and perhaps the Presidency of the Council without portfolio. M. TUIERS, who at first thought of the Ministry of Finances, will enter that of the Interior. It is positively stated that he himself begged M. MOLE to accept the Presidency. M. DE FALLOUX will remain as Minister of Public Instruction. It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic thought of demanding the co-operation of M. BERRTER in this fusion, in this crusade in favour of order. Nothing appears to have been yet decided on with regard to the other Ministries, but nevertheless some new men have been thought of." The Constitutionnel of Sunday, in allusion to the above statement, says, " our contemporary is de ceived and misinformed; the news which he pub lishes is without foundation." All, however, that can be gathered from this contradiction is that M. TRIERS " bides his time," because he does not consi der the pear quite ripe. M. DE TOCQUEVILLE gave a soiree to the members of the Peace Congress on Saturday. The election for the department of the Soane-et- Loire has terminated in the return of M. JOLT, the Republican candidate, who polled 28,433 votes, whilst his reactionary opponent, M. DAIRoT, only polled 25,697. In the department of the Cote d'Or, M. LEMUTIER, the Ministerial candidate, has been returned. M. LEON FAucnEst has arrived in Paris ; his health is completely re-established. The Presse contains a statement to the following effect :—" We are assured to-night that the two prin cipal clauses of the convention which led to the capi tulation of GEORGEY are-1. The integrity of the kingdom of Hungary , • 2. A complete amnesty ex ceptingw i erso f n o s r , ei w gn ho co h u o n lv r ez The above had already receivedpassportsforfu statement, orp for however, is not altogether in accordance with the following, which appears in the Evenement :—" Dispatches were received to-day announcing that the Russian and Austrian armies have marched to occupy the principal positions suc cessively abandoned by the Hungarians. BEM and KOSSUTH have taken refuge in Turkey. The dispatches state that it is intended to demand of the Porte their extradition, in order that they may be tried by a court-martial." The National has the following just observations on the conduct of the Governments of England and France in relation to the affairs of Hungary and Italy : —" What," it asks, "is to be done now, if Russia, profiting by her immense ascendancy, acquired in consequence of our inconceivable weakness, should turn her attention from the East to Western Europe? What is to be done if she should now begin to un dermine Hungary, Gallicia, and Bohemia, according to her Sclavonic doctrines, as she has already un d er mined Moldavia and Wallachia ? What is to be done if, meddling in the affairs of Germany, she should back Austria against the ambitious ascendancy of Prussia ? What is to be done if we should see the northern states of Germany quail before such a for midable alliance as that of Russia, Austria, Bavaria, and Wurtemburg ? Why pursue these questions ? Have we not already enumerated enough to give an idea of the enormous complications flowing from this Russian intervention in Hungary ? It is an iniquitous act, for which we ourselves furnished the pretext by our illegitimate intervention in the affairs of Rome. We tolerated this iniquitous act; and here England too is to blame. And we now suffer in our honour, our influence, and our renown." We read in the Patrie—" The differences between M. DE CHALLAYE, the French Consul, and the Repub lic of Guatemala have terminated in an arrangement highly honourable to the French Republic, thanks to the firmness of our representative. After an address of felicitation voted by the Congress, and expressive of regret at the differences which had arisen, M. DE CHALLATE again hoisted the French flag on the 15th ult., and it was saluted with the discharge of twenty one guns." The Debuts publishes the following communicated note : " Neither Piedmont, nor Austria, nor France are ignorant of the preparations which are being made in the Swiss cantons, on the border, and the designs of the refugees collected together on that point." The Debats goes on to say— "lf this grave assertion were true much more would be known about it in foreign countries than in Switzer land itself, where no vestage of preparation of that kind is seen. Switzerland, in receiving the German refugees, in spite of their number, has fulfilled a duty of humanity, which she has endeavoured to conciliate with the just consideration due to her neighbours. For that object she caused all the insurgents to be dis armed when they entered her territory. Residence within a radius of eight leagues from the German frontier was interdicted to the refugees, who were dis tributed in the interior by small detachments, placed under the special surveillance of the police. The arms and other objects belonging to the German States, which were in the possession of the insurgents, were or are about to be delivered up to the respective governments. The border cantons of the Grisons, the Valais, Tessino, and Bale Town have no refugees; Geneva has about 200, mostly Germans, who await with impatience the moment when an act of judicious clemency will permit them to return to their country. There are amongst them, in consequence of the foiled conspiracy of June 13, some Frenchmen, who would certainly be sent into the interior the moment that they became a subject of legitimate disquietude to France. The German leaders being likely to cause uneasines on account of their pre• vious conduct, their character, and the great number of refugees whom they had under their orders, the Con federation adopted with regard to them a severe mea sure, that of their being sent out of Switzerland. That measure, which is in course of execution, has only been retarded by the numerous steps to which it was necessary to have recourse to procure an issue to those leaders. As to the other refugees, the Federal Council has not ceased knocking at every door to obtain an amnesty. It must be comprehended that it is important to it, more than any other, to free Switz-rland both from the bur den which the support of the refugees, the numb , r of whom exceeded 10,000, imposes on it, and from the dan ger which arises for her from the pressure of so many propagators of socialist and demagogic ideas. In gene ral little is known in foreign countries of the difficult position in which Switzerland is placed by the insurrec • tional attempts of her neighbours. The right of asylum, which she has exercised for ages, without regard to opinions, is considered as a sou rce o f pro fi t an d satisfac tion, whereas it is almost always to her a subject of ex pense and annoyance. Complaints are made of the number of refugees who assembled there ; and all the Governments send, as if with emulation, everythini , which gives them umbrage at home, in order afterwards to establish against her a hermetical blockade. The opinion, that the Swiss are the favourers of the re volutionary propagandism, is accredited, which is, on the contrary, antipathetic to the immense majority of the nation. In the sentiments of her ancient inde pendence, Switzerland, it is true, refuses to foreign powers the right of interfering in her internal affairs ; but she, on her side, does not seek to mix herself up iu the destinies of other nations, without, however, conceal- ing her sympathy for the cause of true liberty. Swit zerland sends refugees nowhere, and she would demand nothing more than that others would act in like manner towards her." The PRESIDENT of the French Republic must surely have forgotten that it was entirely owing to the firmness of this very Swiss Government that LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE was indebted for his liberty at the time his extradition from Switzerland was demanded by the Government of Louis PHILIPPE. It is true that Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE abused Swiss hospitality, and nearly involved those who had given him refuge in a war, by his intrigues and plotting!' against neighbouring states, but he should not judge of all political refugees by himself—all are not so entirely self-seeking as Louis NAPOLEON BONA PARTE.

The Warsaw Courier publishes the following offi cial bulletin from PASKEWITCH, dated Lidalos, August 14 : " Georgey, having left Arad with a corps d'armee, in conformity with the conventions which he had made with General Rudiger, proceeded to Szellosz, where the Hungarians were to lay down their arms. General Rudiger at the same time sent our infantry and cavalry to Szellosz. On the 13th, at midnight, Georgey ad vanced towards our army at the head of his staff. He repeated to General Rudiger that he submitted without conditions, and only solicited as a grace the intercession of Prince Paskewitch. At four o'clock in the afternoon the troops made their submission in the fol lowing manner:—The Hungarian army was drawn up in two lines, in close columns, in th e pl a i ns o f t h e v ill age of Szellosz Theinfantry and cavalry on t h e two w i ngs occupied the first line, artillery the second. The infan try, utter presenting arms, laid the m d own , an d t h e cavalry alighted from their horses, and attached their arms to the saddles. The men then left the ranks, and proceeded towards the town of Zaraath under the escort of three regiments of the second division of light cavalry; the artillery and baggages were taken aw a y by a regi ment. The regiment Jelecki was charged to convey all the arms to Grosswardein. Eleven Generals, 20,000 in fantay, and 2,000 cavalry laid down their arms, and 130 pices of artillery were also given up. G eorgey, i n ap proaching our troops, cried, 'What cannot be undertaken with such troops ! Georgey then declared that he was disposed to cause the other divisions of the army to yield. Shortly atter two messengers from the fortress of Arad presented themselves to General Rudiger, and said they were authorised by the commander, Demjennowicz, and by the officers, to propose the surrender of the fortress to the Russians. On the 14th the troops of General Rudiger took up their previous positions; the advanced guard at Szimond, and the principal corps d'armie at Kisch-Jeno, where he will remain until new orders of Field-Marshal Paskewitch. The corps of Georgey is proceeding under escort to Grosswardein." There is nothing positive in the Vienna journals of the 20th with respect to the surren d er o f G EORGEY. Some pretend that it was the result of long previous negotiations with the Russians ; oth ers th at t h e Em peror of RUSSIA, with his hatred of revolution, would never have consented to negotiate. The German Re form declares that the capitulation was exclusively military, there being no question at all of a political convention. Some accounts represent that profound dissensions had for some time existed between KOSSUTH GEORGEY. With GEORGEY sixty superior officers capitulated, and his force consisted of 15 battalions of honveds, 2 battalions of light infantry, a battalion of the German legion, 3 regiments of hussars, a squad ron of Polish lancers, a detachment of engineers, and 70 pieces of artillery. It is said that KOSSUTH and GEORGEY have addressed proclamations to the Hunga rian nation, the former announcing, that in consequence of the turn affairs had taken, he considers it necessary to resign his powers to his lieutenants ; the second exposing his reasons for not continuing the struggle. The Vienna correspondent of the Independance of Brussels says— "An eye-witness of the submission of Georgey tells me that Georgey's proposition to yield with his 35,000 men at first excited distrust, and some trick of war or treason was feared. He was accordingly required to blow up all that remained of his ammunition. This he did, and the giving up of arms took place afterwards. According to the same person the position of Georgey was not so desperate as has been asserted. He was still able to beat in retreat, but his ammunition began to be searco. The troops of Georgey formed the elite of the Magyar army, there being among them many regiments which had abandoned the Austrian army in the com mencement of the insurrection. The conduct of Georgey and his troops is t.enerally praised, and a just tribute of admiration is paid to his conduct during the war." The journals contradict the report of the fortress of Comorn having been given up, and declare that General KLAPKA. was determined to make a despe rate resistance. The correspondent of the Inde pendance, on the other hand, says that KLAPKA was disposed to capitulate, but that nothing positive was known. One of the journals says that in the moun tains the Magyars were preparing for resistance. According to the last news Prince fasxuwiTcn was directing a large force from Arad towards Transyl vania, to second the operations of General LUDERS. In a letter from Warsaw of the 18th, it is stated that the Magyars had completely evacuated the east of Transylvanie. The Magyars, how ever, had still 15,000 men under BEM, 25,000 at Orsowa, Amen had 6,000 or 8,000 at Balaton, and there was about the same force on the Waag ; but any concentration of the Hun gar i an f orces w as considered impossible. Of KOSSUTH nothing certain was known, but it is said that a Magyar agent conveying a letter from him to the Sultan, demanding an asylum for himself and pastisans, had been arrested in Servia. The German Reform publishes the two following proclamations, without, however, vouching for their authenticity. The first is from KOSSUTH and the Ministers of the Provisional Government resigning their posts, and appointing General GEORGEY Military. Dictator; and the other from General GEORGEY, ac cepting the office. It will be observed that neither o them is dated. " PROCLAMATION OF KOSSUTH TO THE NATION. " After the unfortunate battles with which God has visited during these latter days the soil of Hungary, we have no longer any hope to sustain with success the struggle for our independence against the power of the Austrians and Russians. In such circumstances the ex istence of the nation and the security of its fate could only find safety in the general placed at the head of the army ; but from the profound conviction of my soul the maintenance of the present Government will be not only useless, but injurious to the interests of the nation. I declare, therefore, in the face of Hun gary, that I myself—animated with those sentiments of the most pure patriotism, which has sanctified all my actions, as I have devoted all my life to the good of my country—l retire from the Government with the consent of the whole of the Ministry, and I charge General Georgey with the sole execution of the civil and military power, until such time as the nation may think proper, in the exercise of its rights, to dispose of it in a different manner. I expect from bim—and therefore I rendered him responsible before God, the country, and history— that he will dispose of this supreme power to the best of his ability and the extent of his means to save the independance and governmental power co our unhappy country, and to do everything that he can to contribute to its future welfare. May he love his country with as much disinterested- ness as I have loved her, and may he be more happy than I have been in labouring for the good of the nation. I can no longer be useful to my country by my acts: if my death should be necessary I will sacrifice my life with pleasure to the prosperity of my country. May the God of justice and of mercy have pity upon the nation. (Signed) " KOSSUTH, Governor. BSZMERE, Minister of the Interior. SEBASTIAN BUKOTIEL, Minister of Justice. SLADISLAUSCSANY, Minis ter of Public Works. MICAEL iIORATII, Minis ter of Public Worship." " PROCLAMATION OF GEORGEY TO THE NATION. " Citiz -lib! The Provisional Government no longer exist! The Government and the Ministers have volun tarily resigned their duties. The present circumstances require a military Dictatorship, which is confided to me, as well as the civil authority. Citizens, I will do all for our country that can be done in our present unfortunate situation, whether it be by war or by peace, but so that our sacrifices may be alleviated, and that cruelty and murder may cease. Citizens ! the events are extraordinc,ry, and the blows of fate are overwhelm ing. In such a situation it is impossible to foresee the future. My only wish—the only advice I have to give you—is that you will return quietly to your dwellings, without resorting to arms, e►en though the enemy should occupy your towns, for you can only secure safety to your person and property by remaining quietly at your hearths, engaged in peaceful occupations. Citizens, let us bear with manly resolution all that God, in his in scrutable decrees, wills that we should bear. We wi preserve the hope that, acting with a good conscience, aid treading in the path of rectitude, our cause will not be !or ever lost. Citizens, God be with you always. "ARTHUR GEORGEY.' Accounts from Vienna state that already serious differences have broken out between PASKEWITCH and HAYNAU. The latter has taken upon himself to protest against the conduct of the Russian General towards (XEORGEY and his troops, and PASKEWITCR, in obedience to the orders of the Emperor of RUSSIA is conducting the negotiations for peace directly with the Magyar Plenipotentiary, to the exclusion of Austrian interference. The Breslau Gazette has the following from War saw of the 20th :—" In consequence of the bulletins of victory received from Hungary, a grand military and religious fete was celebrated yesterday. A large chapel was erected in the plain, a "Te Deum " was performed, and 101 guns were fired. There was after wards a grand review. The EMPEROR, the Grand Duke MICHAEL, the Princess PASSE WITCH, Madame LAMORICIERE, Count NESSELRODE, the Ministers of France,. Austria, an d P russ i a , an d many foreign officers, were present at the religious ceremony and review." I! - is stated in a letter from Berlin of the 22d, that on the 10th the Russians knew that GEORGEY in tended to yield, and they accordingly recommended General thy Nan not to disquiet him. This, it is said, explains how GEORGEY, who was believed to be in the north, made his surrender in the south, near Arad. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin , of the 22d, says—" The event of the day ; a letter froml the Count DE BRANDEN BURG to the President of the Chamber of Deputies, requesting him to place on the order of the day of the Chamber a dis cuss i on re l at i ve to t h e G erm an qu es ti on , the Government being ready to produce the neces sary papers. The Chamber immediately complied, and the matter is to be discussed on the 25th. The Minist r y b y t hi s proceeding appears des i rous to prove in the face of Europe that the fall of the Hungarians will not cause it to abandon its policy with respect to Germany ; and it is evident from the language of the semi-official journal that the Cabinet has net the least intention of turning the Austria-Russian victory to account against the liberties . and unity of this country. In the Chamber the Minister of the Interior an nounced that the siege of Breslau will be shortly raised." FRANKFORT. The Post Gazette of Frankfurt announces that the Ministry of War of the Empire ordered, on the 21st, the Imperial corps d'armee in Baden to be dissolved, but that the Prince of PRUSSIA caused the order to be revoked. HAMBURGH. Ile Senate of Hamburgh published on the 21st a notification, that, notwithstanding the occupation of the town by the Prussian troops, the Prussian Go vernment will respect its rights and independence. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. In consequence of the earnest representations of Colonel HODGES and of the Superior President Vox BONIN, the immediate exchange of prisoners has taken place. They have also effected the installation of the Government of Schleswig and the basis of the statu quo, and the conditions expressly stipulated by Art. X. of the Convention of the Armistice, have been recognized as incontestable. It is probable that the Government will be immediately installed, inas much as all the opposing obstacles have been removed. The question relative to the temporary flag which is to be carried by the Schleswig-Holstein vessels, is reserved to the settlement of the Government after it shall have been installed, and this cannot be done till the ports of Schleswig-Holstein are all open and the navigation is again free, which is not the case at present, except from neutral vessels, including the Germans. Divers opinions prevailed relative to the mole of administration of the government of Schleswig; but it is stated with certainty that the Executive and the Finance are to be entirely distinct. KIEL, AUG. 23.—We are authorised to state that the blockade of the Holstein Baltic harbours, in cluding that of Kiel, will be raised on Saturday, the 25th inst. The Government Commissioner of the Duchy of Schlewig will be installed at Flensburg on the same day. Persons who arrived at Altona on the evening of the 23d assert that the exchange of the prisoners has taken place on the Duppler heights. They were re ceived by an immense concourse of people, who formed a procession with garlands ; and they were regaled with an hospitable entertainment. CIRCA SSIA. Russia has withdrawn from Circassia her army of 70,000 men, H in order to stre ng th en th e army of un gary, and Count Wonmszow, the military and civil governor, has left for St. Petersburgh. Previous to quitting Tiflis he issued a paper to the warriors of Abascia, couched in very friendly terms. He says— " We have been fighting for the last 20 years toge ther. An infinity of blood has been spilt to no pur pose, as neither your interests are thereby advanced nor our own. Let us, then, make a permanent peace, or if that is not possible, at least suspend hostilities until such a peace can be brought about under guarantees to mutual satisfaction. If you can engage solemnly to remain in quiet, I, on my part, will un dertake to withdraw our troops from the country, in order to cause all reasons for animosity and hostility to cease." The Circassians have agreed to this. They are now openly exulting over this victory of diplo macy on their part; and add, that once the Russian Czar withdraws his 70,000 men, they know how they are to manage to regain lost ground. ITALY. The following order of the day was published at Rome by General OnDim); on the 16th : " At the review of yesterday, which was held to cele brate the birthday of the Emperor Napoleon, the troops were in the most regular condition. All ideas of na tional and military glory were embodied in this review. The power of v-collections has excited general emula tion. The Generat-in-Chief now addresses with the greatest pleasure to the troops of all arms the testimony of his entire satisfaction at the regular appearance of the troops, the harmony of their movements, and the preci sion of their firing off. The army of Italy, which has obtained so elevated a place in public opinion by its discipline, its valour, and its instruction, will continue to render itself worthier daily of the mission which France has confided to it. The General-in-Chief is happy in being able to render it this justice. " The General Commander-in-Chief, OUDINOT DE REGGIO." By a decree of the 131 h the Roman Minister of Finance has suspended the payment of all sums which were due before the 30th of June, 1849. All pre tensions to payment before that epoch must be regis tered before the lapse of the next three months. The Jesuits have returned to Rome and taken pos session of their convent. The POPE is becoming gradually weaker, and has, it is said, had several fits. He is kept in a state of complete seclusion at Gaeta by the Sacred College, who permit none but their own creatures to approach him. The most horrible rumours are circulated as to the cause of the illness of the Supreme PONTIFF. A letter from Ferrara, of the date of the 14th of August, states, " A dead body found on the river Pignetta has been, in consequence of judicial investi gation, recognised as that of the wife of GARIBALDI. It appears that she died of fatigue during the flight, and those who accompanied her hid her mortal re mains in such a manner as to leave no traces of the fugitives to the cavalry which pursued them." On the 18th a numerous deputation of members of the Piedmontese Senate waited upon King VICTOR EMANUEL, and presented to him the address of that body, in answer to the Royal Speech. Shortly after another deputation from the Senate waited upon the King with an address of condolence, from which we extract the following : "Your magnanimous father was destined to regenerate and raise this people to a new political condition, and be fulfilled that destiny with love and probity. He was also destined to extend his powerful hand to our ancient mother, and a halo of glory encircled her on her resur rection. He then saw her stop and deviate from her path, but his magnanimous heart said: Let every sacri fice be mine, so that hope may again bloom for her." The KING was greatly moved at this address, and in his answer to the deputation expressed a hope that the Senate would continue to the son the affection and devotion of which they had given so many proofs to King CHARLES ALBERT. Accounts from Turin, of the 22d, state that the grand funeral service, which was ordered in honour of CHARLES ALBERT, has been suspended, as it was feared that it would be made the occasion on the part of the ultra republican and war party to create a disturbance. The discussion on the treaty of peace had not closed, but it was believed that the law granting the funds for the indemnity would be passed without difficulty. A serious riot occurred at Milan on the 18th, the anniversary of the EMPEROR'S birthday. The Aus trian flag was insulted, and the military interfered. Several persons were wounded and one killed. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Lewis Davis, aged 45, a married man, and the father of a family, was convicted of a rape upon the person of a little girl named West, aged 9, under circumstances of much aggravation. The prisoner, who denied his guilt, was sentenced by the RECORDER to be transported for the term of his na tural life. The other cases tried during the morning were devoid of public interest. NELV COURT. Thomas Bennett and Henry Randell, two sinister-look ing lads, were charged with having stolen a silver watch, seven yards of cloth, a shawl, and a quantity of vs earing apparel, the property of Joseph Percival!. The first prisoner had lodged with the prosecutor, and in his absence he had secured the property in question, and disposed of it to several pawnbrokers, through the medium of his fellow prisoner. The property was pawned on the same evening that it was stolen. Randell admitted that he had pledged some of the property, but it was at the request of Bennett, who told him he had come by it honestly. The jury found Bennett Guilty of stealing, and Ban doll of receiving. The COURT sentenced Bennett to six months' impri sonment, with hard labour; and Bandell to nine months, with hard labour. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—On Sunday morning last some excitement was created by a report being spread that the body of a lady had been found on the Small mouth Sands. Upon inquiry we found it to be too true. The unfortunate lady is the wife of Captain Michell, E.1.E., now living at Rodwell. An inquest was held at the union -house, before Mr. J. Wallis, coroner, when it appeared that about six o'clock she got up and went 0.. t, as her husband supposed, for a walk. Not having returned, he felt uneasy and went in search of her, when he met some men with a corpse, and on looking at the body found it to be that of his wife. Whether she was accidentally drowned or otherwise remained enveloped in mystery. She was 35 years of age, and had been married only about four months. The verdict was " Found drowned ."—Sherbsurne Journal BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. --The rehearsal of the music to be performed at this festival, which com mences on the 4th of September, has proceeded satisfac torily, and this week Mr. Costa, the conductor, will su perintend them in person. Whatever may be the pecu niary success of the festival, the fact is beyond doubt that in respect to the number and character of the per formers, and the excellence of the selections, it is far in advance of any preceding meeting. Great preparations are iu progress in all parts of the town for the reception of visitors. The exhibition of manufactures at Bra 3 ley house, on Monday, the 3d of September, the day pre vious to the announcement of the festival, will surpass everything of the kind ever seen in England, Tel i /NE Y and COMMERCIAL NE iV zei. CITY, Q (7,4 117'ER TO THREE, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool an Saturday a ere estimated at 8 000 be.!es, and censisted of about 5,000 American, et 4id. to 7d., S'oo Pernarn end Maranharre at 51d. to Gd.; 300 Egyptian, at 6d. to 63d. ; 1,000 Surat, 4d. to 43d.; and 50 Sea Island, at 11d. to Is. Id. per lb. •There were taken 1,500 on speculation, and 500 fur export. The market closed steadily.—Railway Shares were dull, and generally at lower rates. The letters and papers received by the Cambria this morning are of dates a week later than the communi cations received by the Europa. They do not, however, contain much matter of interest either commercial or political. It appears that the cholera had much diminished, and that the " fall" trade was ex pected to turn out brisker than was previously antici pated. The money market at New York wus easy, and the prospects of trade were of a satisfactory nature. The cotton crop is still considered to be in a precarious condition, being much affected by the unfavourable character of the season. We, how ever, do not place much faith la these reports, which are always rife about this season at New Orleans and Mobile. It is probable that the yield will not be so large as it was last year, but that was an extraordinary crop, and cannot be taken as a fair criterion. No doubt th Liverpool speculators will find ample ground in the present report from the south to run up the price of cotton wool—a process which tallies exactly with the hopes and expectations of the American grower. Breadstuffs were dearer, in consequence of the. unfa vourable state of the crops. More business was doing in Stock, and prices firmer, with an upward tendency. Exchange on London, 109 k to -3. No later intelligence from Mexico. Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, had issued a proclamation, recommending that the 29th instant be set apart as a public day for fasting and humiliation, to supplicate Divine Providence to pro tect that province from a visitation of the cholera. The writer in Aris's Birmingham Gazette, upon the Staffordshire iron trade, states to-day that— " The proceedin gs o f the past fortnight have been in tercepted by a rather formidable strike, or turn-out, among the colliers in the neighbourhood of West Brom wich and Dudley, in consequence of which operations have been entirely suspended at some of the iron works, and partially so at others, and several blast furnaces ' have been put out of work. On these accounts very little business has been transacted, and as neither purchasers nor sellers are eager, under the present unsettled appearances, both pig and bar iron I may be stated as stationary at the last quotations. The prospect of an approaching restoration of the German and other European markets, together with the absolute reduction of make now taking place in South Staffordshire, afford some grounds to look for improvement, but the advices from America represent figures there as continuing still very low, and the markets inactive. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that from the desponding character of commercial affairs, and the low prices resorted to elsewhere, it was deemed requisite, at the last meet ing of the trade, to reduce Staffordshire bars to 61. per ton, and also to enforce a proportionate abatement of wages among all classes.of workmen employed in the manufacture of iron, or connected with its production. At the ensuing quarterly meeting even this price was abandoned, and sales were made much lower than the proposed retrenchment in wages and other expenses would justify. Under these circumstances, the men fairly and readily submitted to the cur tailment of their earnings, and acknowledged with candour the necessity on their part of assisting to meet so unusual a depression. Unfortunately for the welfare of the trade, either from interest, zeal, or caprice, different representations were put forth in some of the public prints, impugning the cor rectness of this position, and asserting that nothing like depression existed in the trade. One gentleman stated that he had purchased 10,000 tons of pigs for immediate consumption, and had made large sales of iron, though it unintentionally escaped that they were effected at five shillings at least below the rates agreed upon as above. From time to time these representations have been repeated, mentioning orders as abundant, activity pre ! veiling in every department, and even that circulars bad 1 ' been issued from leading firms declaratory of 10s. ad vance. Last week again we were assured that ' this . improvement had been fully borne out,' and that 'au advance' (a second one, we presume) is not improbable. The colliers and miners, who are net (like furnace men, puddlers, and other workmen immediately engaged in mills and forges) sufficiently intimate with the real facts of the case to form their own judgment, hearing such statements read in the various public-houses, would have cause to consider that, with such returning prosperity and higher prices, they ought not to be longer called upon to continue their work at un usually low wages; and to this source the present dis -1 satisfaction may undoubtedly be tracer. The responsi -1 bilit y of the ill feeling between the colliers and their employers, and the poverty and wretchedness thus inflicted upon the families of the former, in a great degree attaches to these incautious representations. How long the present collision may continue, whether it will spread and infect the other mine districts, and those colliers who have not yet joined, or whether the dissatisfied will by degrees resume their work, is yet matter of speculation. A meeting of coal -masters was held on Wed nesday last at Oldbury, and resulted in a determination on the part of a large majority of those present, not to yield to the demands of the men. Notices have, however, been given by most of the colliers who have hitherto continued at work, and also by the miners, for an advance of their wagers, and un less it is conceded to theta, it is probable they will, at their expiration, join those already out. Hitherto it is a matter of congratulation, that no violence has been resorted to, and we trust that sufficient good feeling yet remains to induce a quiet return to their work, with full confidence that their masters will take the earliest opportunity dila offers for giving them better wages. At present they may be as sured that such representations as we have alluded to are only a delusion, while the cheapness of provisions, with the probability that they will be still lower after the abundant harvest is secured, and the severe losses lately. entailed upon those masters who have continued to em ploy their works in the manufacture of iron, point out the propriety of such a course."
