of meeting any one at Manning's, and I understood him to go there as a friend. William Patrick Keating recalled—When I heard Mr. O'Connor was missing I went on Sunday, the 12th, in company with Mr. Graham to Manning's house, and there saw Mrs. Manning, and I asked, "Did not Mr. O'Connor dine here on Thursday ?" and she replied, "He did not." That struck me as rather strange, but she did not display any anxiety. I pressed the question gather anxiously, and said, " You have been down to his lodgings on Thursday evening and the following evening ;" and I asked her at what hour, and I mexttioned that she was there at six, and she said, "I was' not there till seven on the Thursday," and she acknowledged she was there on soth days. I then said, " Air. Manning may perhaps know something of him ; can I see him ?" She said that when she went to Mr. O'Connor's lorlgings, it was to inquire after his health. She also said Mr. Manning was not within, and that he had gone to church. I asked her if I could see him in the evening if I came over, and she said "No, we are asked out to tea, and we shall not be at home." I looked into the garden, but saw nothing. I observed she wa very nervous. I then asked, have you not got a lodger here, and she said •' Yes, but he is in the country, and is not to come back for two months. This closed the evidence. After some observations from the CORONER, The jury deliberated for about one hour, after which they returned the fo:lowing verdict—" That the deceased Patrick O'Connor was brutally murdered by Frederick George Manning and Maria his wife." MRS. MANNING. Yesterday Mr. J. Solomon attended the Southwark Police Court for the purpose of making an application with reference to Maria Manning, charged with being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor. He produced a document authorising him to act as solicitor to the accused, with her signature attached, which he had procured from her that morning in an interview he had with her in the infirmary of Horse monger lane Gaol. Having exhibited the authority referred to, Mr. Solomon, then addressing the magis trate (Mr. Seeker), said that acting in conformity with his instructions, he waited on his Worship to make a request on the behalf of his client to be fur nished with a copy of the depositions of the witnesses who were examined at that court on Friday last. He was the more anxious to procure the evidence already adduced against the prisoner as he was not present on the occasion, and was therefore not in possession of the circumstances alleged against her. He was aware that it was not customary to be fur nished with depositions at so early a stage of the prosecution, but in a case of this description, where so serious and dreadful a charge was preferred against a woman in the prisoner's situation, he trusted that the usual rule might be departed from, and that his application on her behalf might be acquiesced in. Mr. Solomon added, that when the prisoner was placed at the bar, on Friday last, it was shortly after having performed a long journey from Scotlard, and that in the fatigue consequent upon it, together wi▪ th the dreadful nature of the accusation preferre d a g ainst her, she could not be presumed to have a recollecti▪ on of what did transpire on the occasion with respect to the hearing of the evidence, as applied to herself, and this it was that made it incumbent on him to apply for a copy of the depositions already taken down, in order that she might have an opportunity, through him, of putting any questions that might be thought necessary to the witnesses previously examined. Mr. SECKER said that very little evidence had been taken as yet at this court against the prisoner; merely what was considered sufficient ground upon which to justify a remand. It was nut the rule, certainly, to furnish the professional adviser of a prisoner with the depositions at so early a stage of the investigation ; but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case in question, he should permit the applicant to have access to the minutes of the evidence already taken down, in order to guide him as to his future conduct, of the de#enca intrusted to his management by the arty accused. Mr. Solomon, having expressed his thanks, then withdrew. Although it appears that Maria Manning has been placed in the infirmary of the county gaol since her cwnmittal from this court, yet it is not in consequence of indisposition, for she soon recovered from the fatizues of the journey from Edinburgh, and is at present in the enjoyment of her usual health. There are other persons confined in the same ward with her, with whom, however, she holds no conversation, and since her incarceration she has never been heard to utter a word on the subject of the late murder, nor has she made the least inquiry about her husband. She takes her meals regularly (the usual prison al lowance) and seems in good spirits, and from her general appearance and conduct there is nothing in dicative of her having been a party concerned in an atrocious murder such as that so recently perpetrated in Bermondsey. Another day has passed without any intelligence having been received from the officers in pursuit of idt.nning. The Jersey mail boat arrived at South ampton I:1st evening, but brought no news from Lar!,ley, who arrived in the island on Saturday morning. The next mail is looked for with great arixtty. I , spector Field and Sergeant Whitch.-ir, of the detective force, who went b the continent in pursuit of Mrs. Manning, returned to town yesterday. They are loud in their praises of the French police, who rendered them every possible assistance. Within a few hours of their arrival in Paris every lodging houe and hotel in the capital was examined, all the railway trains were watched, and every station within thirty miles of Paris was placed under close survelance. Nothing, in fact, could exceed the adiness of our French neighbours in affording as sistance to the officers. List evening Mr. Field again left London for Plymouth, with instructions to board an Australian emigrant &hip, which is expec:ed to arrive off that port to- morro • THE ABERDEEN CATTLE SHOW. The competi tion and sue w of the Royal Northern Agricultural So ciety to k place ~ n Thursday last on the Links at Aber. deen. Toe Aberdeen Herald states that " the number of entries was not quite so large as on some former oc casions, }itch is partly attributable to a ligering dread o f t e e di-rase' and partly to the circumstance, happily alluded to by Mr. Simpson, of Cobairdy, that parties are beginning to know better what beasts are likely to get pries, ard only send forward such as they have reason to hope may be successful. There was no deficiency of quality, however. Gentlemen capable of judging, and who, coming from a distance, could have no de.ire to show pariality, gave it as their candid opinion that the stock mi g ht compete at any show in the kingdom. As may be imagined, the most prominent feature of the ex hibition was the native pulled breed of cattle. They were truly admirable. Of the horned breed, the speei inens were neither so numerous nor so striking ; and there was a considerable taliing off in the short horns, owing, in no slight degree, to the fact that Captain Barclay—the father of the short horns, as e has been felicitously called—has ceased to compete. Br. Eding stock was rather scarce too; but there was a capital di Vey of stresses of all ages, and the best sorts. Every body seemed surprised at the number and quality of tt e horses exhibit. .d This is a departm nt itt which our cal shows have hitherto been considerably behind; but, on the present occasion, there was really a magrefi cent display. The successful exhibitors have reason to be proud cf the prizes they carried off in the face of such competition; and those who entered extra stock could no:, but be gratified with the admiration wbich their ani mals called forth." The Earl of Aberdeen occupied the chair at the dinner. In the course of the evening the Noble Earl proposed that they should drink " A hearty welcome to her Majesty's arrival in Braemar," and stated that he had reason to know her Majesty was sensibly and highly gratified with all that she had seen and ex perienced in Scotland, and that, in particular, she had been struck with the considerate attention which had been paid by ell ranks in respecting her privacy. Men of the world hold that it is impossible to do a disinterested action, except from an interested motive; for the sake of admiration, if for no grosser, more tan gible gain. Doubtless they are also convinced that, when the sun is showering light from the sky, he is only standing there to be stared ea.—Eliza Cook's Journal. IiAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A collision between a lug• gage and a passeegetts train took place last Friday even ing, the 24th inst., a little after dusk, on the Leicester and Swaimington line. It appears that a train from London was proceeding at a rapid rate along the Leicester line, and when near the Swannington branch the usual signal was attempted to be made, but without effect. A luggage train coining along the latter nee at this moment, and no signal being heard, and the dark ness of the night rendering it impossible for the man at the engine to seethe London train, a fearful concussion took place. The utmost alarm prevailed for a time, and it was shortly afterwards discovered that a stoker on the luggag e train was shockingly br u i se d, i n a ddition to v, hic 1 ? several of his ribs were b ro k en .

The Peace Congress have concluded their sittings at Paris—at Paris, where, as the Journal des Debats happily observes, " the constantly shaking pavements are seeking to regain their places and do not even yet feel themselves very firm." If the place chosen for the friends of peace be somewhat incongruous, the time is yet more inauspicious. The advisability of peace is proclaimed not only at a moment when the thunders of war are resounding in many parts, but, moreover, at a moment when iniquitous war is tri umphant, and when (if ever) . it is become a sacred duty for patriots to stand firm and grasp the sword as with a death-grasp. Go to Russia, go to Austria, bearers of the olive-branch, preach to those ruthless spoilers the gentle doctrines " Love one another," and "Do as you would be done by." War may be anti- Christian, but_ assuredly tyranny is yet more so. Therefore, we say, it is at a most inopportune moment that the great Peace Congress has been held. It is not our custom to deride the supporters of any Utopian scheme, however mistaken we may consider their proceedings. We have said repeatedly, and we say it again, we consider the Peace Society, however excellent their intentions, unreasonable in their actions ; their proceedings are premature, and their propositions impracticable. Nevertheless, differing from them so completely in a practical point of view, we entirely coincide with them in principle. Like Mr. VINCENT, one of the speakers at the Congress, we would gladly substitute mind for matter, and we desire, quite as anxiously as himself, the advent of the time " when an ounce of intellect shall be.better than a pound of shot." We believe, moreover, that good time is coming;" its progress is visible, and is one of the hap piest characteristics of our times. It is visible in the wide-spread ramifications of commerce, whereby foreigners are become friends and mutual benefactors. It is visible in the social in. tercourse of members of different nations, and more especially in the warm sympathy felt by the people of different countries in the popular struggles and triumphs of their neighbours. A. patriotic statesman or a literary benefactor is greater in the enlightened estimation of the nineteenth century than any martial hero. " Captain Pen" is displacing " Captain S word." All ,these things are certain indications of the progress of civilization, and pledges of the con tinuance of that progress. We trust more to the efficacy of that slow but infallible advance than to the eloquence of any of the speakers of the Congress. Conspicuous among those speakers were Mr. COBDEN and M. EMILE Dr. GIRARDIN. The latter is reported to have made the extraordinary assertion (for a Frenchman) that the cause of liberty would be assisted by the disarmament of all nations except two—Eng land and the United States, the armies of those coun tries not being so great as to endanger liberty. True enough was another declaration of the same speaker's, that " the army is not a means of preventing revolu tion, the means are to be found in a moral govern ment ;" and true enough was an observation of Mr, Connati's, when he said no men were so difficult to teach as professional statesmen. " They are so devoted to routine, and so fortified in self-sufficiency, that they do not easily believe that any wisdom exists in the world excepting that which radiates from their bureaus." But the most truthful sentiment uttered at this Congress was that of M. COQUEREL, who, alluding to the plea of impossibility urged against the object of the society, put it aside at once, declaring nothing was impossible but what was false. In this sentiment we entirely concur; we believe, as we have repeatedly said, that nothing is impossible ex cept the ultimate triumph of an unrighteous cause. This belief is the true stimulant to exertion, and the infallible antidote to despair. The Peace Society may take all the comfort which that assurance can give them. " Patience," says the proverb, " and the mul berry leaf will become satin ;" and this is a proverb which the Congress will do well to eonsider. They are looking for results where first principles are yet irnmatured. Let them endeavour rather to strengthen the growth and assist the development of those prin ciples, and they need not fear but the fruit will come forth in due time. Let the enjoyment of popular rights be . assured to each individual people, and let the principles of brotherly love be enforced by the prac tical teaching of mutual benefits, and then, but not till then, " Useless lances into scythes shall bend, And the broad falchiun in a ploughshare end." The case of Jonx GLERSONLsoN, who was con victed at Liverpool, on Wednesday, of the murder of MART PARR, exhibits a degree of desperate and reckless atrocity that renders it almost unparalleled in the annals of crime. In the- middle of the noon day, in the heart of a populous city, without arms or associates, he coolly and deliberately butchered an entire family, consummating his guilt by cutting the throat of an unfortunate infant three years old, the only witness of his fearful crime. He had entertained no previous animosity against his victims—he had no wrong or fancied wrong to avenge. Plunder was his only motive, but to obtain a trifling booty he de liberately shc.d the blood of four of his fellow-crea tures, of two helpless women and of two innocent children, under circumstances that rendered detection almost inevitable. There was no attempt at conceal ment. The victims were suffered to remain where they had fallen weltering in their blood, and visible to the by-passers through the par lour window. The discovery of the murders could not long be delayed ; speedy pursuit was cer tain; and yet the assassin, believing that every human eye that had witnessed his guilt was sealed in dea th, walked openly through the t own , ex hibi ted the money he had obtained by the robbery to hi s f ormer lard. lady, and even attempted to dispose, of the watch that he had snatched from the neck of Mrs. HINRICHSON, on the following day, while the town was ringing with the particulars of the horrible outrage. A case of similar atrocity and recklessness could not, we believe, be adduced ; that of JAMES BLometELD RUSH was trifling in comparison. The sanguinary affair must have been decided on on the day preceding its perpetration. On Tuesday, the 27th of March, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner took lodgings, a back parlour and upper bedroom, in the house of Mrs. Hinuica son, explaining the absence of luggage by stating that he was anxiously expecting some from the country. He slept there that night, and went out early the next morning ; he subsequently went to a tavern where he requested the daughter of the landlady to direct and seal a letter to himself at the house that was so shortly to be the scene of bloodshed. A boy, whom he met, was induced by the prisoner to deliver this letter at the house five minutes after he entered it, and a few halfpence were borrowed from the unfortunate Mrs. HirtaictisoN to pay the lad who was to be one of the chief witnesses in bringing home the crime to the murderer of herself and children. About eleven o'clock Mrs. Hinnicuson, according to her usual custom, went out to purchase necessary articles for her household, and during her absence the work of blood commenced. He went into the parlour, and having driven out the children, spoke to MARY Palm, the servant maid, who was blackleading the grate. He took up the tongs, making some casual inquiries as to the price of a set of fireirons, and, without the slightest notice, struck the unhappy girl a violent blow on the head that rendered her insensible and unable to give any alarm ; several other blows must then have been given, causing very severe fractures of the skull, of which the unfortunate girl died, after lin gering a few days. Theeldestof; boy, th a e s c a h m child o ofr even years of age, was then disposed increased brutality was exhibited towards him, for when discovered, he was found to have no less than thirty distinct wounds on the head, and even his little finger was completely struck off by the blow of some jagged instrument. The younger child was then fol lowed to the kitchen cellar, where it had probably fled , for refuge, and its throat was cut from ear to ear, its head being almost severed from the body. These several. ) outrages had manifestly been committed during the [ absence of Mrs. HINRICHSON, and must have been deliberately planned previously. About this time a lad, named KEAMEY, brought a basket of potatoes to the door, which had been purchased by the unfortu nate lady. Wagon partially opened the door, and having thrown the potatoes into the parlour, where they were subsequently found, returned the basket to KEAMET, who had thus a full opportunity of identi fying him. Mrs. HINRICHSON soon afterwards returned, and then the tragedy was completed. She had scarcely entered her house when she was also stricken down ; her bonnet, which had not been removed, was broken, and her skull fractured in several places. The robbery—the motive of the qua druple murder —was then committed. Drawers and boxes were broken open and ransacked, and money and trinkets, and a gold watch and chain, taken away. The murderer then went into his ewn bedroom to wash away the traces of his enormous guilt ; water, mingled with blood, was found in his basin, and bloody marks on the towel where he had wiped his hands. He then left the house, with out his departure being noticed. Fortunately for the ends of justice, Mrs. HINRICHSON had purchased two jugs during her absence, which were sent to the house in about twenty minutes. The messenger, having knocked in vain at the door for some time, looked through the window and discovered the bodies of the servant and of the eldest child lying on the floor. An alarm was given, the house was entered, when the sanguinary scene was fully discovered, and the search for the , murderer almost immediately instituted. One of the most remarkable features of this extraordinary outrage was the extraordinary rapidity with which it was executed. Mrs. HINRICHCON did not leave her house until eleven o'clock. She purchased the jugs shortly after ; these jugs were sent home within twenty minutes, but in the interval four murders were com mitted, drawers and boxes broken open and plun dered, the hands of the assassin washed, his clothes arranged, and escape effected. About twelve o'clock he was seen by three carmen walking rapidly from the spot, much flushed and in a great perspiration, the ends of his trousers, which were of white cord, being turned up. Shortly afterwards he was seen at a pool called " The Figure of Eight Pit," washing his boots and trousers, and the envelope of the letter that had been directed to him that morning was found on the spot. We need not further minutely trace the pro ceedings of the murderer. He purchased a pair of dark trousers in the course of the day, taking off the light ones that he had worn during the commission of the crime, and giving them to a 'labourer whom he met in the town. He sold the wet Wellington boots he had on for 25., and in their place bought a pair of short boots. He obtained a clean shirt at his former lodgings, which he had never stated his intention of leaving, exhibiting a considerable sum of money to the landlady, through whom he changed gold for silver; and there he gave his hat, which had a crape on it, to a fellow-lodger, putting on a cap which he had just bought. He then went to a barber to be shaved, although not at all requiring it, where he made inquiries about the price of a wig, and also the cost of a passage to America. By these various proceedings, and the changes of his attire, he vainly hoped to evade discovery; but he was really multiplying the evidence against him, so as to render it perfectly conclusive. The following morning he was arrested, while endeavouring to dis pose of the watch which he had taken from Mrs. HINRICLISON, and was clearly identified by several witnesses, and, amongst others, by the dying girl MARY PARR, whose deposition was taken in presence of the accused. A curious legal point arose on this part of the case. It was proposed to give this deposition, which would have rendered any doubt impossible, in evidence ; it was, however, objected by the able counsel who defended the prisoner, that it could not be received, the prisoner not having been charged with any violence against MARY PARR at the time the deposi tion was taken. After a learned argument, the pre siding Judge, having consulted his learned coadjutor, allowed the objection, and the depositions were not allowed to be read. There was, however, ample testimony against the prisoner. The letter be sent in the morning without any apparent motive, the identification by the lad who delivered the potatoes, and his entire conduct after the perpetration of the various outrages, left no vestige of doubt in the mind of any person who heard the evidence, and the jury without retiring from their box, and without a mo ment's hesitation, returned a verdict, by which the majesty of the law has been vindicated, and by which the blood-stained assassin will expiate his enormous guilt by an ignominious death upon the scaffold. The ruling of the Learned Judge (PATTEsoN) in excluding the deposition of MARY PARR, although it might have been regretted at the moment as affording a chance of escape to the miscreant, was very fortu- nate. ,Had it been otherwise justice might have been defeated, and his execution would necessarily have been postponed until after the meeting of the judges. As it is no such difficulty is interposed. There was ample evidence without the deposition to insure a conviction ; and the nature of the very ingenious ob jection that might procure impunity for another murderer on a future occasion is explained, so that all magistrates may avoid a similar mistake in future. The case has now terminated, JOHN GLEESON WIL SON has been fairly convicted by a jury of his coun trymen, and his name will henceforward occupy a leading position in the black catalogue of crime as the perpetrator of the most brutal, the most audacious, and the most inexplicable series of murders that ever disgraced human nature. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—The accounts by the Cambria, from the United States, report that Mr. Clifford, late United States Minister to Mexico, had been recalled in consequence of having entered into an Un authorised correspondence with the Mexican Govern ment on the subject of the protocol. The lion. IL p. Letcher, of Kentucky, has been appointed to succeed him. The harvest has been carried on under the most favourable circumstances. Lovely weather has prevailf-d to such an extent as to enable the farmer to house the "golden grain" without loss or discomfort to himself; and the yield, though not quite so plentiful as has been predicoa, u above an average crop.— Cheltenham 'Journal. , . 4 aus•l44, `? 7 - .76 ; ro i */ ' Alm l - ,^ lON IN' 2_ DIEu DR • LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, ATrGUST 28, 1849. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. AlCouncil of Ministers was held yesterday morning to take into consideration the affairs of Rome. A dispatch has been received from General OUDINOT stating that the Cardinals, backed by the Austrian Minister, set his counsels at defiance, and that " if they are permitted to go on as they wish the blood in the streets will be up to the uncles." The Cabinet has determined to send orders to General OUDINOT not to permit any execution for political offences to take place while the French army is in occupation of Rome; but as this determination has been come to during the absence of M. DE FALLOUIL, it is probable that on his return it may be rescinded, and that Ge neral OUDINOT, should he have acted on it, may be De Lesseped. In contradiction to the Constitutionnel the Assern blcce Nationale, the organ of Da FALLoux and the parti-pretre, publishes the following on the subject of the contemplated change of Ministry : " We are better informed that the Constitutionnel supposes relative to the formation of a new Cabinet. This journal does our leading statement the injustice to ascribe to them, an indulgence of leisure to the extent of forgetting the heavy responsibilities imposed by actual circumstances. We entertain a higher idea of the patriotism of our statesmen, and, despite all contradic tory suppositions, we maintain the truth of what we have advanced. We will add that the diplomacy of the old school—that is to say, dissimulation—is now alto• gether out of place, and that in frankness alone will be tound true ability." The objects of the fanatics who compose the parti pretre, of which M. DE FALLOUX and - Ai. DE MON• TALEMBERT are the chiefs, and of which M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARIE is the tool, are now openly avowed. Their objects are the restoration of Popery and Absolutism, and the destruction of Protestantism and Constitutionalism all over the world. They are willing to sacrifice the cause of HENRY V. and of Le gitimacy to this object, and to accept as their chief LOUIS NAPOLEON, if he will join in a league for the restoration of Absolutism and Popery in every nation all over the continent, and in a league of all the chiefs of the continental nations thus enslaved to put down Constitutionalism and Protestantism in England. Louis NAPOLEON'S connexions among the Young England party render him, as the parti pretre think, the man of all others the best calculated to carry out this project, which, insane as it may seem, is we know seriously entertained, and which has its fa vourers among the aristocracy and lovers of paternal government in this country. Louts NAPOLEON is, it would appear, about to strengthen his alliance with the Emperor NicuarAs by marriage. A corre spondent of the National says— " Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has demanded and ob tained the hand of the daughter of the King of Sweden. You know that Queen Hortense, mother of Louis Bona parte, was the sister of Eugene Beauharnais, and that the Queen of Sweden, mother of the Princess in question, was the daughter of the same Eugene Beauharnais; con sequently Louis Bonaparte is cousin-german of the Queen of Sweden, and, according to English notions, her uncle. You also know that the Prince of Leuchtenberg, brother of the Queen of Sweden, has married a daughter of Russia. The name of the Princess is Charlotte Eu genie Auguste Amelie Albertene, who was born the 24th April, 1830." A young Englishman was taken into custody on Sunday for preaching in the open air, in the Place de hi Bourse. Trade is becoming more brisk through out France. The mills are in full work, both at Rouen and Mulhausen. The DemocratiePacifique, the publication of which was suspended during the state of siege, has re appeared. General CAVAIGNAC has arrived at the Baths of Bagnens de Luchon, where he is about to take the waters, and repose himself after the fatigues of the session. A letter from Toulouse mentions that M. MAR EAST, the last President of the National Assembly, has arrived in that city, where he is to be present at the meeting of the Council General, of which he is a member. M. KulaAsT will then proceed to the Baths of the Pyrenees, to confer with General CA VAIGNAC and M. GOUDCIIAUX, Minister of Finance under the Provisional Government. PARIS BOURSE—MONDAY, AUGUST 27.

Anglo Italian (late Italian and Austrian), I—Boulogne and Amiens, h%—Namur and Liege, 5% Northern of France, 3 , 4 1 dis.--Houen and Havre, 914. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. The retirement of Senor MON is likely to damage the credit of the Government. Several capitalists who had agreed to advance a loan of several millions of reels during his administration now hang back; and Senor BRAVO MuaiLLo had a long interview with them on the 21st, for the purpose of endeavouring to bring them to terms. It was rumoured on the 22d that the Duke of SOTOMAYOR had accepted the office of Minister of Finances. The downfal of Senor Most is looked upon as the triumph of the Protectionists, and is considered as tantamount to the indefinite postponement of the Tariff Bill. The clamor Publico says that the present suspen sion of the Tariff Reform Bill has already begun to produce serious mercantile perturbations. It says— " Scarcely was the sanction of the Tariff Bill known when the demand on London for fine cotton goods began, it being relied on that no difficulty would be opposed to their introduction. They write to us, particularly from Cadiz, that various merchants find themselves iu great difficulty by having made large outlays in the purchase of foreign goods. Trusting in the faith of the Govern ment which so resolutely took the initiative in the re form, they now lammit th.-ir credulity." The Heraldo, however, declares that "the spirit of the Tariff law is placed beyond discussion," and that " the Government, as now constituted, will develop it according as it had conceived it, and in accord with the principles which it has profesed," notwith standing the retirement of Senor MON. The same journal states that Lou,. MONTES has arrived in Spain. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 22.—Three per Cents., 25i ; Five per Cents., 11 ; Exchange, 50 70. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES, AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The war does not seem so rieai 7 aConciusion as the favourers of the Imperialists had flattered themselves when they heard of the surrender of GEORGEY. KLAPKA bas refused to follow his example, and on the 18th he sallied from Comorn and attacked and defeated the Austrians, with great loss. The com munications between Pesth and Vienna still remain interrupted, a proof that the armies of AULTCH and KLAPKA. will not follow the example of GEORGEY. It was reported in Vienna on the 22d that KOSSUTH and BEM had been arrested in Wallachia. HANOVER. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left Hanover for Eng land on the 22d, after having made a present of unique collection of books and maps relating to the history of Hanover to the Royal Library. PRUSSIA. The First Chamber met on the 24th. Count Bur _ Low, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, appointed commissioner for the German question by the Go vernment, rose and laid upon the table a voluminous collection of documents, correspondence, and dispatches connected with this important subject, from its earliest commencement, and through all its phases down to the present period. Count BuLow then read from a written paper a long speech explanatory of the projects, views, and intentions of the Government and triple alliance. The following is the substance of hi• speech . . " We cannot renounce the advantages gained by our predecessors. If Germany is disposed to accept the federal state (Bundestaat) under the presidency (Vor stande) of Prussia, she will find us prepared to act. If not, the return to a Contederaiion of States (Staaten bund) is inevitable (that is to say a return to the old Confederation). The Government will, so far as de pends upon it, direct all its efforts towards the unity of Germany by the path of 'peace and justice. Up to the present time the following states have adhered to the alliance;—Baden, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, Saxe Wei mar, Anhalt Bernberg, Brunswick, Saxe Altenburg, and Mecklenburg Strelitz (in all eight, exclusive of Hanover and Royal Saxony). The following Governments have also adhered, with the reserve of ultimate rati fications: —Grand Ducal Hesse, Saxe Coburg Gotha, Sehwarzbourg Ruddstadt, Oldenburg (the Oldenburg Chamber has rejected the proposition), and the free towns of Hamburgh and Bremen (the first has declined, the second postponed its adhesion). The Governments of Luxembourg, Anhalt Dessau, and Anhalt liothen- Waldeck (Pyrmont), Lippe (Detwold), and Hamburg, have announced their readiness to adhere (that is, if the Chambers or vestries will assent). Bavaria as re served its decision (which all the world knows will be negative to the very death). It is now time for the Go vernment to exclaim —Adetheoser Eutwedes oder—that is, with us or asa i nst us —(the words implied by M. Camphausen, in his recent speech). It will cllll upon the aWe3 that have not yet spoken out, to do so ford I.stit h. It is its wish t) convoke the State Pa diament, and to ascertain the wishes of other Govern merits so soon as possible. The Government will then come to an understanding with States that shall have adhered, and arrange matters in acc ord with them rela tivr! to the Parliament (Reichstag). But many most impor tant considerations have to - be t h e nprightze ss, endurance, and consistency of weighed, and I dare Ivo, conceal from you that, notwith the goal may no t b e reac h e d un 81Petrastisnsdcseiing r a" ta i i t n is co p nli s t i i b o l n e .s are fulfilled. It is essential above all things that Go vernment should expressly declare that they sincerely desire the formation of a federal state. Should tr .e Government arrive at the con viction that the allied states (this cuts at Hanover and Saxony) are not disposed to advance upon the path pointed out 'by it, then it will become its duty to ask the question i it is proper f or it t o waste t h e strength o which becomes every d a y re hether other more import an t i nterests may not be found' n carer at home than a f ru i t l ess striv ing after an object that seems to reced e as we a d vance. more Pru d s i t' ffi la cu i l a t, a o n r il ndertaking w No one will, in that case, be entitled to expect that you (the Chambers) should sacrifice Prussia's position and alliances in order .to follow an isolated path, in which dangers only are to be encountered—a path presenting nothing, perhaps, but deceitful hopes. The Government will then say that it has done more than men had a right to expect from it— that it must consider its mission (to effect unity) as terminated, and it must then, with sor row, leave the solution of this important question to futurity." BADt,N. On the 29th the GRAND DUKE will publish an amnesty for all political offenders. Trials by court martial will cease after that day, and no sentence of death will after that be carried into execution for political offences. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. - - - - - - - HADIDURGH, AUG. 19.—Several public journals have spoken of - the protest made by the English and French Consuls against the occupation of Hamburgh by the Prussian troops. The Augsburg Zeitung gives the following data on this subject :-- "The French Consul transmitted a note to the Senate, of the following import The French Government has nothing to object, if the Prussian troops merely pass through Hamburgh; but it must and does protest against the military occupation of that city by the Prussian troops:" _ _ _ The Hanoverian Char d'Affaires has protested in the name of his Sovereign, us chief of the 10th army corps, to which he belongs, against troops being sent to Hamburgh. Thus Germany has arrived at such a point that foreign powers interfere without any hesitatiun in Its internal affairs. With regard to the protest made by England, the reality resolves itself into the following point:—Colonel Hodges, who came hither from Flensburgh in consequence of the troubles of Tuesday (but has since returned thither), demanded of the Senate whether the Prussian troops were here by its consent, and how long a time they would remain. ITALY. Rome was tranquil on the 28th. GARIBALDI has been appointed Vice• Admiral of the Venetian fleet. The Chamber of Deputies at Turin adopted the address in answer to the Speech from the Throne on the 22d without discussion. THE SHRINE OF GOLD. Who speaks of the heathen cree ds of yore? Who tells with a blush of shame Of idols set in the holy shrines? Who starts from the loathsome name, The hated name of idolater? That brat al of the wreck'd and lost— Who shrinks from the dark degraded ones In the Paynim's impious host? Have they seen the bands, in Christian lands, The lair, and the young and old, Who bend the knee in idolatry At the cursed shrine of gold? Have they seen the pilgrims wan and pale, With a look of heartless care, Who kiss the dust on that crowded way, And squander a life-time there? Have they seen the beauty trampled down In the contest fierce and strong, Have they heard the curse on the impious lips In that mad and motley throng ? Have they looked within o'er the weight of sin, Have they known the blessings sold, The earthly love—and the hopes above— At the cursed shrine of gold? Have they seen the noble stooping there With a smile of servile grace, And learnt how the purple robe oft hides A menial and cringing race ? Have they watched the eyes once fond in love Dilate with unholy flue, Or glsze-cl with a jaundiced thirst for gain Waste out like a fun'ral pyre? Have they seen the brands, and the reeking hands, Have they felt the heart's ice-cold, Do they know the guilty, or the life•drops spilt At .the cursed shrine of gold? Nay! rail no more at those Pagan creeds; On the shores where darkness lies, When a worship foul us this might wring The tears from an angel's eyes I When the Christian's high inheritance Is cast as a clod away; And bought, like ti,e lust Iscariot, E'en the " chosen ones . ' betray "Thou shalt not tnak,," " nor thy God forsake," Was the great command of old, Yet see the hands, ia our faith-taught lands, Upraised at the shrine of gold ! And see how the frantic worshippers Toil on with a plague-struck air! The fading young—and the frenzied old, As if no Heaven there were ! Hear they the groans on that threshold left? Dream they of the gulph within? 0, for some hand to hurl them back Ere they consummate the sin! 0, for some arm to strike alarm In their ranks of zealots bold, To stay the fate of the reprobate Who kneels at the shrine of gold! ' E. E. M. K. London, August, 1849. BRIGHTON AND CONTINENTAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors was held this at ternoon, at the Lot.don-bridge station, for the purpose of confirming a retiolution passed at an ex traoniinary goneral meeting on the 10th instant, autho rising the dissolution of the company ; Captain Hotham in the chair. Only a small number of proprietors were present. The resolution authorising the dissolution of the com pany was agreed to without any opposition. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether any sur plus funds would be left after the winding up, and, it so, when they would be divided? The CHAIRMAN said a b ►lance would remain for divi sion, and that as soon as the few outstanding debts had been call' d in and paid it would be distributed amongst the shareholders, in the regular proportion, upon their executing a deed to release the trustees from all respon sibility. The directors begged to assure the proprietors that no time should be lost in bringing the company to an end. Another SHAREUOLDER—I beg to propose a vote of thanks to our worthy Chairman; and perhaps I may be per mitted to couple it with a hope that when we next see him in the capacity of chairman it will be in a more prosperous undertaking.—(Cheers.) The motion was heartil) seconded, and carried una nimously, and the meeting separated. EXETER, YEOVIL AIND DOR CHESTEit RAILWAY.— (rius DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of this company was ad vertised to be held to-day at eleven o'clock, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, but a sufficient number of proprietors (20) nut being present, it stood adjourned sine die. MA RLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) William Steed, a boy about thirteen years of age, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having picked the poeket of a gentleman named Arnott, re siding at 41, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. It appeared that on the previous night, about eight o'clock, the prosecutor was proceeding along Charlotte.. street, when he felt a violent tug at his pocket, and on turning round he observed the prisoner in the act of putting his (complainant's) pocket-handk erc hi e f i nto his i jacket-pocket. He mm. diately collared him, and gave him in charge to a constable who was passing at the time. Defendant, who admitted the theft, was committed to the House of Correction for one month, and during that time to be once privately whipped. CANADIAN POLITICS.—The accounts received by the Cambria, from Canada, are of a satisfactory nat ure. There had followed after the separation of the convention a complete political lull; and, beyond a few rumours that Lord Elgin was about to retire from the adminis tration of the province, there are no features of interest in the general intelligence received. The movement in the sister provinces of British North America in favour of an union of the whole in one federation, had attracted considerable notice, and, on the whole, a large degree of favour. From Montreal we learn that, in consequence of the absence of a quorum of the Court of Queen's Bench, the trials of the parties charged with participation in the late riots and incendiarism could not be proceeded with this term. Judge Bedard had at length succumbed to the fatal disease now prevalent; and the death of Lieut.- Colonel Fenwick, of the Engineers, at Kirgsland, on the stb, is, we regret to state, fully confirmed. The scourge w as, however, disappearing gradually from the cities, although in the interior rural districts considerable ra vages are noted. When the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV.) was in his youth, he took a part in a private con cert at the residence of Sir W. W. Wynne, grandfather to the present baronet, in St. James's-square, and spoke so highly of the violoncello on which he played, which belonged to Sir Watkin, that the worthy baronet caused it to be added to the extensive collection of valuable in struments in the possession of his Royal Highness. Croadil and other competent judges valued it at 200 ks. Experience is a torch lighted in the. mho of our illusions.—Eliza Cook's Journal. MONEY and COirEVIERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, and prices were rather against the buyer. The sales, which included 1,000 for export and 4,000 on spe culation, amounted to from 8,000 to 10.000 bales, and included 7,500 American, 400 Pernam arid Maranham. at sid. to 6id.; 1,200 Egyptian, at 6d. to Bfd.; 400 Surat, at 4W to 41d.; and 400 Sea Islands, at 11d. to Is. 3d. per lb.—There was but little doing in Railway Shares, at rather lower prices. Whether the rate ot exchange at New York will be come more favourable to England, must in some measure depend upon the fall trade, but it is at least pre sumahle that there are rather sarguine hopes of improvement entertained, judging from the tenor of accounts before us. The maoer is interesting chiefly in its bearing upon the profits of trade, since there is no reason to assume that, under any circumstances the money market can be very sensibly affected. The following extract from a recent communication, dated New Yurk, affords some information : " The commercial classes have maintained a state of inactivity. The accumulation of their capitals, in the shape of bank d, posits, places them in a position to open the fall trade with great energy, and avail them selves promptly of any favourable turn in prices for any staple product ; and the prospect is, that a larger cash business, in proportion to the aggregate, will be done this fall than ever before. The banks of this city are surfeited with specie, the amount on hand being nearly double the cir culation. This immense amount has been accumulated by large importations and by drafts upon all parts ot our own country. It has been going on for months. There is very little probability of any export demand of consequence springing up, but we look for a demand from the interior, and for the pa) merit of duties and other " Government dues that will reduce this dead weight. It would be a relief to the banks to have two or three millions drawn from :them land distributed over the country, and it would give an impetus to business throughout the southern and western states." The rise in the price of cotton in the English market would not exercise an immediate or marked influence, unless there was a large quantity of the old crop still to come forward, and which is said not to be the case. The following interesting statistics of the Customs' duties in Canada is from ono of the most intelligent cor respondents from the Montreal Gazette : "For the quarter ending the Ist April, there was a falling off in the receipts of 7,0001. to 8,0001., as corn - pared with the previous year, while during the quar ter ending the 30th of June, the increase above the saw quarter of the former year amounts to 46,0001. or 47,0001., msking the real increase for the half-) ear end ing the 30th June 38.0001. to 39,0001., ever the corre sponoing period of 1848. " During the first q..arter of the period under review the old Customs Acts were in operation, and there was, as we had often predicted, a remarkable de crease in the receipts, arising from the utter prostra tion of c,mmerce, in consequence of the free-trade principles adopted by Great Britain. The new Act has been iu operation during the greater part of the last quarter, having received the royal assent on the memo rable 25'h day of April, and the duties collected under it grestly exceed the amount received in 1848 ; but the excess is not, as any one will see by a glance at the duties levied under the two tariffs, in proportion to the increase of duty sanctioned by Parlisment; for, were the shut-up low, or, we may say, the free-trade duties levied, there would be, from the less amount in quantity imported, a decline in the amount of revenue colltcted." Th. market for Public Securities remains in staiu quo, the quotation for Consols having been 924 .1, all the morning for the account, and 92i to for present de livery. The Three per Cents. Reuuced have been done at 924 and 93. and the Three-and-a, Quarter per Cents. from 934 to 94. The market at present wears a heavy appearance in consequence of the limited business.
