the excitement inseparable from a general election, we have every reason to expect these will be preserved. BRITISH GUIANA. His Excellency the Governor has succeeded, without the exercise even of a single vote of his own, in carry ing within the last fortnight an estimate for 1849-50, through the Court of Policy. The estimate having been framed by the Court of Policy, is after wards brought for revision before the Combined Court. Nor has any di ffi culty arisen with regard to the civil list item. The good sense of the majority of the Court of Policy, we are glad to state, has acqui esced in the recommendation of the Government to omit that item altogether from the annual estimate, on which, indeed, it ought never to have been placed, and to refer it hereafter in the shape of a distinct memorandum to the Combined Assembly. The Court of Policy com menced with the estimate on the 19th ult., immediately after the leaving of the last packet, and concluded with it on Tuesday last, the 3d inst., the day after the present packet arrived. During the fortnight, as throughout the greater por tion of the present year, the weather has been extremely wet, proving injurious in all, and highly injurious in some districts, to the young canes. The same cause, the humidity of the season, has put a stop almost every where to sugar making. BARBADOES. The Princess Royal transport was to leave this island on the afternoon of the 10th ult. with invalids from the different islands in the Barbadoes command. The season at Barbadoes had been one of the most productive ever known, and would reach to from 33,000 to 35,000 hhds.

The worthy inhabitants of the ancient and loyal city of Cork must have been taken considerably by surprise when Thursday's evening breeze wafted the booming of the artillery to their walls, as the royal squadron steamed into their splendid harbour, and the cannon's opening roar announced the advent of the SOVEREIGN to her long-expecting Island of the 'West. Yet, notwithstanding the anticipation of their long ings by the period of a diurnal revolution of the sphere, the QUEEN experienced a right royal recep tion, unmarred by the bustle of hurry or em harassment, and conspicuous alike fur enthusiasm and for order. The admirable arrangements which had teen prepared by the excellent taste of the leading citizens were developed in a manner to fully satisfy their most ardent anticipations, and a heartfelt outburst of loyal greeting to their beloved SOVEREIGN emanated with equal fervour from the poorest in the throng as from the most prominent members of the courtly inner circle. The enthu siasm was universal, generous, and unaffected. It must indeed have been a proud moment to those who ere spectators of the scene, when, amid the thunders issuing from the brazen throats of war, the ringing shouts of the vast multitudes who lined the shores, and the thrilling cheers of the sturdy tars of England, the most deservedly Popular Monarch that has ever graced the British Throne first set her foot on the Irish soil. The little town which her MAJESTY, on the solicitation of the inhabitants, graciously directed should henceforth bear the name of Queenstown, may well be proud of ' this memorable honour, and e trust that the hopes which they indulge, that her m visit may be the means i of accelerating the local the Government, ements which have been determined upon by which would develop the great natural advantages ss ntallesoins o f their f important harbour , and extend h fairly-paid employm ent to man y artizans and la bourers, long pining in compulsory idleness, m ay b e fully and effectually realised. The sincere, cordial, and truly Irish v; eicome, the " Cead mille fealtha," never more fervent or more well-founded, made an evident impression on the first Lady of the land, and the exceeding beauty of the scenery of the port and river of Cork shed a genial glow on the superb spectacle. The address subsequently presented by the Mayor of Cork, whose knighthood on such a momentous occasion is a high and enviable honour, is entitled to no small commendation. It expresses a just hope—a hope which, we trust, may bear its fruit through many a happy year—that plea sure and happiness may be diffused among his loyal countrymen by frequent repetitions of the auspicious occurrence; that her gracious visit may bear healing on its wings, and prove the harbinger of bright and better days for a land now passing through a fearful ordeal. "We know," it proceeds to say, " that your MAJESTY deeply sympathises in the sufferings and pri vations which your people have undergone, and are still going through ; and we are convinced that nothing would afford a - higher gratification to your royal breast than to mitigate and relieve those sufferings, and to raise the moral and social condition of your MAJESTY'S much and long-enduring, but patient and faithful Irish subjects. We trust that your Royal advent here will lay the foundation of a better order of things than has hitherto existed, be the means of fully developing the great and varied natural resources of our beauti ful and fertile country, and that its prosperity, and the subsequent comfort, happiness, and contentment of its people will be the glorious and blessed results of your auspicious visit." To this touching prayer who will not sincerely cry Amen ! The annals of the present reign teem with many glorious records, but the laurels won by the gallant victories of the East are a fading and perishable crown compared to the genuine and undying lustre which will spring from the regenera tion of the right arm of the empire. Without pre tending to the possession of any extraordinary pro phetic power, we may safely predict that the year 1849 will prove the commencement of a new era for the sister isle ; when peace and industry, and con sequent plenteousness, will flourish in the place of squalor, stagnation, and decay. It will be ever remembered, with a glow of laudable exultation, by the good citizens of the chief city of Munster, that it was their peals of jubilant loyalty which were the first to hail the sun-burst of that bright and cheering day, and although " dear dirty Dublin," to adopt the irreverent phrase of the facetious correspondent of a morning Contemporary — a phrase penned with a far greater regard to alliteration than to truth—may display a pagean try of more comprehensive splendour, Queen Vic- ToarA and her Royal Co nsort will never permit the first impression of " the emerald gem of the Western World" tofade from their remembrance, nor forget the honest and hearty loyalty of the good and true lieges of Cork. Various communications have reached us, not merely from persons resident in the metropolis, but likewise from different parts of the United Kingdom —inquiring as to the possibility of Englishmen, or Irishmen, or Scotchmen (for members of each of the three races have expressed to ourselves the same soli citude) leaving this country fully armed and equipped to act as volunteers to the heroic and glorious Hun garians. We must be allowed here to answer these correspondents collectively—reminding them that, by virtue of the Foreign Enlistment Act, such overt pro ceeding are illegal. The recent trial of several in dividuals who had fitted out a' steam-vessel, laden with men, arms, and ammunition, for the pur pose of affording assistance to the Sicilians, was a case in point. To speak briefly, the application of the reasoning of the enactment is as follows. England is not at war either with Austria or with Russia—deeply as those atrocious despotisms are abhorred by our fellow-countrymen, they are at present in a position of amity in regard to our Government—and consequently it is considered unjust as well as irrational for the Cabinet of St. James's to behold without interference the subjects of Queen VicroniA. enlisting soldiers and accumulating weapons of attack against any state with which her MAJESTY'S representatives still maintain amicable relations. Hence the Foreign Enlistment Act was introduced into, and passed uninterruptedly through, both Houses of Parliament. Nor, upon considera tions of abstract propriety, can the justice of the law be gainsayed. As a matter of moral and logical utility the . arrangement is in every respect as judicious as that embodied in the Alien Bill, a measure by which any refugee may be deported from these islands in the event of its being proved that he abuses the privileges gra tuitously conferred upon him as one seeking shelter under the protecting shadow of our institutions, for the purposes of plotting against an ally of the British Government, or of disseminating pernicious doctrines through the medium of the evil system of Propa gandism. Supposing, therefore, any citizen within these realms is really solicitors to lend the assistance of his life to the sacred cause of liberty among the Hungarians, his only chance will be clan destine. To imagine that we, co-operating with the Committee of Members of Parliament, can employ any portion of the funds subscribed for the Hungarian refugees to the end that adventurous Englishmen, or Scotchmen, or Irishmen, may be enabled to reach the seat of war by crossing the Adriatic, or by traversing Roumelia, is singularly to misapprehend the object of the Testimonial. It should be remembered that the amount of the subscription, supposing there to be a surplus beyond the anticipated expenditure, will under all circumstances be directed in the first instance to the aid of the Hungarians of every miscellaneous`grade of society, whether living in London, or scattered throughout the kingdom. These would naturally be the first parties whose transmission to the battle-fields of Hungary would be the object of our solicitude. And, even supposing all those refugees of the blood of the Magyars to have been conveyed from the land of their exile to the land of their nativity, our next desire would be to witness the departure in the same direction of the brave but unfortunate fel low-countrymen of BEM and DEMBINSKI. Here it is that we may be permitted to allude at length, and directly, to the band of Magyar soldiers in whose behalf we first originated the Testimonial, the troop of hussars lately resident at Folkstone. We say lately resident at Folkstone, seeing that these brave children of misfortune, and we trust we may designate them prophetically heirs to glory and pro spective sharers in patriotic success, are now steaming up the Mediterranean on their way to Constanti nople, and thence to the head-quarters of the army of liberation. It must not be imagined, however, that, from the fact of this announcement, there is no further necessity for contributing more subscriptions to swell the fund of the Hungarian Tes timonial. On the contrary, it should be felt through out England that there is now more than ever a necessity for the increase of this evidence of British sympathy for the Hungarians. First and foremost there is an ample reason for all parties to arrive at this conclusion, in the simple fact that the Committee of Noblemen and M.P.'s have, on their collective re sponsibility, guaranteed the payment of all expenses incurred in the transmission of these sixty-eight or nine hussars to the Bosphorus, and onward to the north of the Turkish frontiers. Seeing a favourable oppor tunity for sending the gallant refugees to their father land, the Committee pledged themselves that the necessary amount for liquidating the expenses should be forthcoming ; and, consequently, for this reason, if for no other, the exertions made on the part of those sympathising with the Magyars should be re doubled instead of being in any degree relaxed. Beyond the consideration mentioned, however, there are numerous others of a wider scope which should act as additional incitements to the generous popu lation of England. The subscription opened is not so much intended for the assistance exclusively of any single body of refugees as it is di rected to the general advance of the great cause with which those refugees and other refugees still in this country are in a particular manner iden tified. The Testimonial is a testimonial to express British sympathy for the Hungarians. Let, then, the Testimonial be worthy of the sympathy ; let it be worthy of a free and flourishing nation like Eng land, holding out the hand of fellowship to a free but suffering nation like the Hungarians. Already have our aspirations been nobly responded to by the rapid increase of the subscriptions already collected, by the immense assemblages in the city of London and in Marylebone, and by the provincial meetings now being convoked at Cardiff, at Birmingham, and at other large towns in various parts of the United Kingdom. If any supplementary inducement be required to forward the objects implied in the Testimonial, surely sufficient may be discovered in the contemplation of the different spirit of the belligerent; and by the con sideration of the extraordinary successes already ob tained by the Hungarians. As to the disposition displayed by the Magyars and by the united Imperialists—that may be easily recognised in the different tone of the proclamations issued by their respective leaders.

THE SUN, LONDON, exultant feeling breathed through the laconic despatches of BEM ADA of G rARGFY fl P I not less expressive in this rtspect u. the manly and equable policy which has become incarnate in the person of the great and immortal KOSSUTH, than the fierce, infuriated, fiendish proclamations of HAYNAU are indicative of the remorseless and dia bolical cruelty by which the supremacy of his impe rial master is to be forced upon the population. Are we exaggerating the brutality of the cause of this boy- Emperor by using language in regard to his crea tures which would be more applicable to demons than to human beings ? Good GOD ! after the hor rors that have been perpetrated in the name of this puppet-despot shall we not stigmatize the ruffians who forward his projects in the garb of Field-Marshals, and Princes, and other high and puissant dignitaries—shall we not stigmatise these in human enemies of liberty and civilization as monsters unworthy of any feeling less than that of execration ? Let those who hesitate in responding to this inquiry pause for one moment while they read a single instance, out of a multitude of similar ones, indica tive of the atrocities done in the name of this mighty and chivalrous Emperor 1 Let them read this one hideous incident, recounted on the unimpeachable authority of BEATHOLD AUERBACH—Iet them read it, and read it if they can without a shudder ! The oc currence took place, remember, even before the revolu tion of the Viennese—and the scene of this occur rence was nothing less than the capital of Austria. It is as follows : "At this moment there was an uproar in the court of the Aula as in a storm. The dead body of a student was just brought in, which had been found on the Bel vedere, after the departure of the troops. The corpse was frightfully mutilated, the tongue was cut out, the eyes put out, the mouth split up to the ears, the nose cut off, the belly ripped up. All the horrors that the frenzy of a monster in human shape could devise had been perpetrated. And now there arose in the Aula shouts and howlings and heartrending cries for vengeance, such as I had never before heard. The weEaeu wept and wailed aloud ; and the men—not students, not prole tarians—raised their arms and swore vengeance on the House of Hapsburg and Ferdinand the kind.' I saw one burly old man, the tears running down his cheeks, crying out till he was hoarse, Vengeance on Hapsburg ! Thus the good Emperor has us murdered, because a single man has been killed!' In the scene before me I beheld the flames of revolt break forth in the breasts of the most easy tempered people on the face of the earth, and saw to what lengths their spirit can be driven by infamous perfidy. To the Diet! to the Diet!' cried several voices, and instantly To the Diet!' resounded on every side. Thither the dead body was borne, preceded by a black flag, that the members of the Diet should see how the troops of the Emperor dealt with his people. Schu selka came down, and pacified the crowd with a few words; but when Prince Lubomirski set eyes upon the corpse. the sight drove him stark mad upon the spot— ' 0 Jellachich! 0 Jellachich!' he is said to have ex claimed, before the madness came upon him."—A Nar rative of Events in Vienna from Latour to Windisekgratz. By Berthold Auerbach. Translated into English by John Edward Taylor. Yet this is the cause—reddened with murder, blackened with conflagration, polluted with infamy, made awful by the accumulation of its stupendous guilt—this, forsooth, is the cause that my Lord ABER DEEN and the rest of that squad of enlightened aristo crats would sustain and glorify by their very reput able sympathies ! We resign the question with implicit confidence to the consideration of our coun trymen—the great and vital question of England's friendship w ith despotism or with liberty, with Austria or with Hungary, with heroes or with monsters. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Minister of Finance, M. PASSY, presented on Friday the Budget for 1850. F rom his important document it appears that on the Ist of January, 1850, the total amount of the deficiency in the revenue will be at least 550,000,000 f., and, as not more than 350,000,000 f. of that amount can conveniently be left in the shape of floating debt, he proposes that a loan should be negotiated to the amount of 200,000,000 f. to meet the difference. The expenditure for the year 1850 he calculates, including the sinking fund, at 1,591,332,077 f., and as he calculates the receipts, including the duty on potable liquors, at only 1,270,953,849 f., the deficiency will not be less than 320,378,228 f. Such k i state of matters, he declares, could not be allowed to continue without great danger, and he thought the moment was come when an at tempt ought to be made to arrange the expenditure of the country according to its resources. He there fore intimated his intention of making the following propositions. In the first place, he proposed to de mand the authority of the Assembly to contract a loan of 200,000,000 f., applicable to the extinction of an equal sum of the existing deficit. Then, and in order to meet the enormous difference between the receipts and expenses, he proposed having recourse to the following means :-1. The creation of new im posts and taxes to the amount of the sum of which the Treasury stands in need. 2. A new arrange ment of the sinking fund, so as to make it appli cable solely to Rentes actually annulled ; and 3. The constitution of obligations for special services applicable solely to the expenditure on extraordinary public works. The Minister did not state what new taxes he meant to lay on. The obligations for the expenditure on pub lic works, he said, would be of 500 f. each, and would be issued every year according as they might be re quired. They are to be reimbursed by lot, and by means of a sinking fund of two per cent., which will be set aside for each series ; and the interest on them is to be regulated at a rate which must not in any case exceed the medium rate of the Rentes during the previous month. The new arrangement with respect to the sinking fund he calculated would be a saving to the country of seven millions of francs per annum. The Minister did not conceal that, in his opinion, the financial state of France was a very grave one, and the impression made by his statement on the Assem bly was exceedingly unfavourable. After the financial statement bad been disposed of, the order of the day was read for the discussion on a Bill presented by the Minister of Finances to t t au thorise the collection of the direct rev enue f or th e havingw as to recourse prevent to "provisional twelfths," and th e comm i ttee reporte d year arlB necessityso The for obbjeec Government of he Bill in favour of the measure. On the second clause being read, a discussion arose which had very nearly produced a sciam in the ranks of the Con servative party. M. GILLON moved an amendment on that clause, to the effect that the window-tax ' instead of being collected, as a t present, should be added to the land-tax on the property built upon. He con tended in favour of this amendment, on the ground that the window -tax, as at present levied, pressed very unequally on those paying it. M. PAssY admitted that the system on which the window-tax was levied required revision, but he did not think the present time an opportune one for that purpose. .M.GmoN then moved another amendment to the ef fect that before thelsth of January,lBsl, the Govern ment should be obliged to present a Bill to modify the system of levying the window and door-tax. PAssY, in a spirit of conciliation, immediately accepted the amendment, which he said he was ready to sup port. Upon this M. BENOIT, in the name of the com mittee, opposed the amendment, and blamed M. PASSY for taking an engagement on the part of the Government at such a distance of time, especially when he admitted that the tax in question was levied in an objectionable manner. This gave rise to an altercation, in the course of which M. PASSY accused M. BENOIT of raising an opposition to the resolution merely for the purpose of creating a prejudice against him (M. PAssY), and in the hope of securing the port folio of Minister of Finances for himself. Ultimately the amendment was agreed to par assis et leve. The speech of the PRESIDENT of the Republic at Tours has completely allayed all fears that were en tertained of a coup d'etat. This speech may be con sidered as the personal act of the PRINCE, and when ever he acts for himself he does well. Let us hope that the effect produced by this speech may induce the PRESIDENT to exhibit henceforth more self-reli ance, and to pay less attention to the insidious advice of M. DE FALLOUX and his coadjutors. The Presse has the following in the speech of the PRESIDENT at Tours, and on the article in the Jlloni teur on the subject of his tour This honest speech of the President, which we take pleasure in praising, is followed in the Moniteur by an article not less important. This precise speech, and this formal article, which all France will read, have the im portance of a veritable political event. We do not hesitate to declare, for our part, that they inspire us with the most absolute confi dence and the most complete security. This confidence may have been changed, and this security troubled, by the fear that the President of the Republic would yield to the influence of suggestions and counsels which are not confined to, the secresy of intimacy. These counsels would have been blood, and these suggestions fatal; we know them too well not to fear them. In firmly resist ing them, in spontaneously renewing, on the 2d August, 1849, at the end of a banquet, in the form of a toast, the engagement the 20th December, 1848, und er the sanction of an oath, the President of the Republic strengthens and raises himself. We do not doubt that the impression which we feel will be the unanimous one. An imprudent coup d'etat could only have rehabilitated the discredited in surrection; the same discourse which brands the coup d'aat on the shoulder, strikes insurrection to the heart. It is no longer to be feared. Neither coup ddlat nor in- MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1849 surrection; assuredly, that is not all, but it is a great deal, for it is timo to wsiit until the cliy shall rise on the juUtli u; 0,00 a ate 01 ~.0 .wpertuud." The National thus speaks of the speech The speech in its ensemble is a solemn abjuration of all unconstitutional proji cis. We gladly take note of it. Let M. BonPparte place himself on this ground, and maintain himself there resolutely, and calm will revive, confidence will be restored, public credit will be strengthened, and affairs will resume their regular course." The Committee charged to examine the Bill on the state of siege nominated M. FONTANIER its reporter. It has adopted the bill as presented. On the clause for leaving to the jury the decision on offences of the press there was strong opposition, but the majority approved of it. The Committee charged to examine the demand for an authorisation to prosecute M. SOMMIER, and another representative of the people, has resolved to accord the authorisation, and has nominated M. DARISTE, reporter. _ _ The Presse says—" M. DE LAM ARTINE, whose rheumatic malady has become worse, has been obliged to demand an unlimited leave of absence from the Assembly ; and he intends, it is said, to sell his family e‘tate, and arrange all his pecuniary affairs." The llfoniteur Alggrien of the 29th ult. gives an account from Bata of a sanguinary combat sustained by the column commanded by Colonel CARBUCCIA in the oasis of Zaatcha. There had been some reason to believe that the insurgents would yield without combat, but it was quite otherwise. An attack which the Colonel was obliged to make failed before the un expected obstacle of a solid wall, preceded by a ditch full of water, which could not be passed ; and this defence was supported by a sharp fire from behind the garden walls of the village. After two hours combat the French retreated with a loss of 32 killed and 117 wounded. The Moniteur contradicts a statement made in a Paris paper to the effect that the Duke D'HARCOURT, Ambassador from the French Republic to the Holy See, had been recalled. " There is no foundation," says the Moniteur," for the report. M. D'HARCOURT demanded leave of absence, which has been granted to him. The Government is fully satisfied with the conduct of M. D'HARCOURT, and never had any idea of recalling him. The French Funds appeared yesterday to tend downwards at the Passage de l'Opera. The Five per Cents. were last done at 87f. 20c.

The Cologne Gazette states that the Princes of Hohenz)llern have signed a cession of their States to Prussia, and have requested the Prussian Govern ment to send troops to occupy them. To prevent conflicts with the Prussian troops the Bavarian Government has withdrawn its garrison from Mannheim. A letter from Friburg, Grand Duchy of Baden, of the 31st ult., says that a young Prussian, named DARTU, was put to death the previous day, in virtue of the sentence of a court martial, for having fought with the insurgents. It is probable that the sentence of death passed on a Professor KINCKEL, of Bonn, will be commuted. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES• The lndependance of Brussels says :—" The most important news from Berlin of the Ist is that M. BALEMANN, Envoy of the Provisional Government of Schleswig-Holstein, has adhered, in its name to the armistice between Prussia and Denmark, and has added that, according to all appearance, the Diet of the Duchies would ratify the decision. Thus, then, the difficulties which appeared to result from the different protests against the armistice have unex pectedly been removed. Without the support of the Duchies, the protest of the Central Government will be of small importance." SWITZERLAND. Letters from Berne, of the 2d inst., announce the opening of the session extraordinary of the Federal Assembly on the preceding day. It approved unani mously of the levy of troops which had been made. The question of the refugees was referred to a Com mittee of seven members. General DuFouß was to be sworn in as Commander-in-Chief on the follow ing day. _ _ _ 11/lAm - rAm, the late Roman Minister, has arrived at Geneva, where, it is said, M. LEDRU ROLLIN is expected. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. All accounts from the seat of war confirm the intelligence of the successes of the Hungarians. The Kaner Zeitung states that the Commander of the Imperialist garrison of Temesvar, General KUKORINA, has been killed in the assault by which the Hungarians carried that place on the 13th ult. Large quantities of muskets, guns, and ammunition fell into the hands of the victors. From accounts in the National Zeitung, it appears that GEORGEY, after defeati ng t h e R uss i an di v i s i on under General SAss, at Jatzo, advanced along the banks of the Tbeiss to Tokaj, where he took up positions on the outskirts of the Carpathian moun tains, from Loshony to Kashau, This position is in the rear of the Russian armies, and commands all the defiles that lead to Gallicia. At Kashau GEORGEY took possession of the whole baggage of Prince PASRIEWITCH, of 30,000 Russian uniforms, and of the depot of arms of the Russian army. Accounts have been received via Constantinople from Transylvania. They state that the Russian army was defeated at Fogarasch by General BEM, and that the Russian General DICK was severely if not mortally wounded, and General LUDERS slightly. In consequence of this defeat the Russian army re treated to Kronstadt, and General LUDERS called in the help of the Austrian corps under General CLAM GALLAS. From the same source we learn that the Russian General FREITAG has made another attempt to enter Transylvania by the defiles of Oytosh, and that in this instance, too, he was attacked by BEM, and driven back into Moldavia. This account is confirmed by official intelligence which has been received by the Turkish Government. OMER PACLIA and FUAD EFFENDI have written to their Government that General BEM has defeated the Austro-Russians at Rathenthurn, and the Rus sians at Fogaros:; that General Dim is severely wounded, and that General LUDERS, who himself is slightly wounded, has called to aid all the regiments from Wallachia ; that the Russians are starving, be cause the Wallachian waggoners arriving at the defile of Preclial, fearing the ill-treatment of the Russian soldiers, cut off the ropes which served as traces, and fled iwth their horses. Forty waggons arrived at Jassey loaded with wounded Russians, all belong ing to the corps d'armee of General FREYTAG, who was not able to pass the defile of Oystosh, and retired towards the Bukowina. The Hungarian garrison of Comorn have made a successful sally upon Dotish. A detachment of hussars sallied from the fortress and crossed to the right bank of the Danube, where :they took Nazv- Igmand and advanced to Dotish. They o bt a i n e d possessio n of the EMPEROR'S mails that were being taken from Vienna to Pesth, and by this m eans they captured a la rge sum in silver.

SCHLICK'S division has marched to reinforce HAYNAU. This division will suffer from the want of water in its way to Szeze din, as the Magyars have filled up all the wells as they retreated; and large guerilla bands of Honveds now hover round the various Imperial armies, and cut off their supplies of bread and oats.

BALLOON ASCENT AT Coax.—As the first gun an nounced the approach of her Majesty to our city, Mrs. Hampton, who had caused three beautifully decorated balloons to be constructed and inflated for the occasion, bearing in decorated letters the words " Victoria, " Al. bert," and " Prince of Walk s," gave the signal to let go, when the balloons ascended steadily and gracefully amid the acclamations of the several hundreds who witnessed the ascent.

DE BRUCK to the Sardinian Government : DRAFT OF A TREATY OP PEACE BETWEEN AUSTRIA. AND SARDINIA. Art. 1. There will be henceforth and for ever, peace friendship, and good intelligence between his Majesty the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the King of Sardinia, their heirs and successors, their states and re spective subjects. Art. 2. All the treaties and conventions ecnclueed between his Majesty the Emperor of 'Austria and his Majesty the King of Sardinia which were in vigour before the Ist of March, 1848, are fully re-established and confirmed, in as far as they are not derogated ,from by the present treaty. Art. 3. The limits between the states of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the Kinz of Sardinia shall be such as they existed before the com mencement of the war of 1848. As, nevertheless, there was a dispute between Austria and Sardinia with respect to the line of demarcation near the town of Pavia, it is stipulated that the limit at that place shall be formed by the towing-path of the canal called the Gra vellona. As regards the bridge on the above-mentioned canal, the two contracting parties mutually engage to apply to it, and to put in vigour, simultaneously with the present treaty, the same stipulations as are con tained in the convention concluded between the two States, the 25th of October, 1820, relative to the front of the Buffalora. Art. 4. The high contracting parties are anxious to see re-established amicable relations between his Ma jesty the King of Sardinia on the one hand and their Royal Highnesses the Archduke of Modena, and the Infant of Spain, Duke of Parma and Pi acenza on the other, and their said Royal Hignesses having named to that effect their Plenipotentiary his Excel lency Charles Louis Chevalier de Bruck, &c., in virtue of the respective full powers, dated from Modena, the 3d of July, 1849, and from Brunnsce the 29th of June, 1849, declare that there exists, and will continue to exist, peace, friendship, and good intel ligence between his Majesty the King of Sardinia and their said Royal highnesses, their respective heirs and successors, and their states and subjects. They confirm anew reciprocally the demarcation of the frontier of their respective states, as it was fixed before the present war, in virtue of the treaties in vigour, and agree besides to nominate, without delay, a mixed com mission, composed of a Sardinian member and a Mo denese or Parmasan member, according as it may happen that the question may regard the interests of the one or the other of the duchies, in order to regulate and liqui date the claims of their said Royal Highnesses, and of their respective subjects, resulting from the fact of the war terminated by the present peace, and binding and obliging themselves, in the event of the said commis sioners not agreeing, to submit the point or the points in question to the arbitration of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands. " Art. 5. His Majesty the King of Sardinia, as well for himself as for his successors, renounces all title, as well as all pretension of any kind, to the countries situated beyond the above designated limits of Sardinia. The right of reverson of Sardinia to the duchy of Pia cenza is nevertheless maintained under the terms of the treaty. " Art. 6. His Majesty the King of Sardinia binds him self to pay to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, as complete indemnity,the sum of 80,000,000 of francs. Of that sum, 20,000,000 of francs will be paid in ready money, and 60,000,000 of francs in inscriptions of 1,000 francs each, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. on the grand livre of the public debt of Sardinia. For the first 20,000,000 f. a mandate, payable at Vienna at the end of August next, is to be delivered at the same time U 3 the above-mentioned inscriptions; for the re mainder of the sum total of the 60,000,0001. at the mo ment of the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty. The inscriptions shall be taken up by the Sardi nian Government within the delay of twelve months at the rate of 5,000,000 E per month from the date of the month of September next, and thus from month to month by a payment to be made at Vienna in ready money of their nominal value. If the Sardinian Govern ment, fur any motive whatsoever, should fail to take up these inscriptions, if it were only for one single monthly peri,d, it is understood that the Government of his Itn perial Majesty and of their Royal Highnesses should in that case be authorized, by that very tact, to cause to be sold at the Paris Bourse, or at the Stock Exchange of London, all the inscriptions which might still remain in their hands, and that the deficit which might be the result, comparatively to their nominal value, will be at the charge of the Sardinian Government, and that the amount of it nau:t be paid by that Government, within the shortest possible delay, in ready money. " Art. 7. The evacuation of the Piedmontese territory by the Imperial troops will take place immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, and the delivery of the mandates and inscriptions stipulated by the present treaty. " Art. 8. In order to give more extension to the com mercial relations between the two countries, there will be immediately concluded between the two powers a treaty of commerce and navigation, founded on bases of the strictest reciprocity, by which the two powers bind themselves to place at the present moment, and for the future, their respective subjects mutually on the footing of the most favoured nation. On that occasion, the question of mixed subjects will also be taken into consideration, and the principles will be settled on which their reciprocal treatment will henceforth be regulated. The two contracting parties bind themselves, besides, to facilitate and to favour the legitimate commerce to the frontiers of their respective territories, and they declare their anxiety to employ mutually all the means in their power to suppress all contraband. In order the more effectually to attain that end, they put again in force, from the date of -, the convention concluded to that effect betweea Austria and Sardinia, the 4th of De cember, 1834, and they bind themselves to introduce into it successively all the amelioration that the circum stances may render necessary, in order to fulfil the end which they have in view. " Art. 9. This treaty shall be ratified, and the rati fications shall be exchanged at the end of fourteen days, or sooner, if that be done. " In faith of which, &c. &c." The conditions of the above treaty were with few exceptions acceded to by Sardinia, but an amnesty was required for the Lombards and Venetians who had taken the part of Sardinia in the late war. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY arrived at Florence on the 29th ult. Cardinal PATRIZI, Bishop of Albano, and Vicar- General of the POPE, has arrived at Rome from Gaeta. The Legge of Turin, of the 31st ult., states from Rome, 26tH, that MAMIAMI has been banished from Rome. The Genoa Gazette also states this, and adds that many others, members of the moderate constitu tional party, who, although strongly opposed to Republicanism, demand the secularization of the Government, among whom is PANTALEONE, have shared the same fate. The Italian papers contain very contradictory accounts concerning GARIBALDI. Some affirm that he is surrounded between Monterchi and Citerna, others that he is already at Rimini, with the inten tion of proceding to Venice. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AT KINGS- TOWN. SUNDAY EVENING, SEVEN O'CLOCK. The royal squadron has just entered this harbour, the Victoria and Albert yacht taking the lead, followed by the Fairy and the rest of the steam-ships which form her Majesty's naval escort. Salutes are being fired by the Iron Duke, the Scotia, and several other steamers, which have been all day in the harbour. The crowds who cover the great piers and the jettias are applauding to the utmost of their power. In brief, we are already in the beginning of one of the most enthusiastic recep tions ever given to a Monarch by her most devoted subjects. The mail boat for Holyhead is about to leave. Her Majesty will not land until ten o'clock in the morning. KINGSTOWN, SUNDAY MORNING.—Every on e is on the look-out for the smoke of the royal squadron, which a fine south-easterly wind will sweep merrily down the coast before them. Prom the time which has elapsed since the fleet left Cork, it is supposed that her Majesty has run in and anchored for the night near Passage, in the harbour of Waterford. If this be so, she is probably under steam by this time, and will, ere sunset, anchor in the Bay of Dublin. Adequately and entirely to fulfil the duties of a reporter of the royal expedition, that reporter ought in the first place to be Sir Boyle Roche's bird. Not having, however, that advantage, I was obliged, after seeing the preparations for sailing at Cove, to start immediately for Dublin, in order to keep you au fait to the preparations made here. On the way the effects of her Majesty having advanced the time of her arrival by a day were developed in a style which would have been ludicrous, had it not been for _ _ the vexation and disappointment involved in the matter. For miles and miles we passed trains of people—on foot, in cars and carts, many of them dusty and travel-stained with their night's journey— but all hurrying into Cork, full of the royal proces sion which they expected to see. We shouted out to one or to o of the groups the true state of matters, but they laughed and replied with some cheerful banter, evidently believing that we were trying to quiz them. Poor folks—many of them would reap little from their twenty or thirty miles trudge. The royal squadron left Cove about ten o'clock on Saturday morning. All the previous night bonfires burned upon the hills, and brilliant illuminations twinkled across the water from the windows of Cove. The fleet sailed amid the thunder of heavy guns from the men-of-war and the forts. Dublin was tolerably busy and tolerably crowded when I left it, but it is now in a perfect buil of pre paration and enthusiasm. There is to be an illumi nation after all, and in every street you see the skeleton preparations—gas-pipes, and the frame works of all manner of quaint devices—sprawling from window to window, and house to house. The streets have been quite pulled to pieces by the at tacks made upon the gas mains. As for the decora- Lions, and rubbings up, and brushings up—the '-•••-, 7 , • is!:. . smell w fine you can hardy turn 3 ;n t.i timid wiiiient finding a handsome smear of white paint upon your coat tails. Of course, triumphal arches, pavilions, and stages for spectators are plentiful; and, alto gether, the entrance will be a very fine affair, indeed. At Kingstown, her Majesty will land under a very pretty species of arcade, formed of wreathed and em blazoned flags, leading from the jetty edge to the ter minus of the railway. There is a mighty muster of packets in the har bour. I never saw a more numerous fleet, even at Cowes. The Dragon Government frigate has her steam up ready to put to sea the moment the royal squadron appears. The weather is beautiful, clear, and sunny, with a fine fresh breeze from the southward and eastward, which is clothing the blue sea with the white crest of breaking waves.— Chronicle. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY', 11, A.m. The North American Mail steamer Niagara has arrived, with advices from New York to the 25th ult. The Caledonia arrived at Boston on the 21st. NEW YORK, TUESDAY NIGHT, JULY 24. The week that has elapsed furnished little material for a summary. Our money market is abundantly supplied. The banks are at a loss to employ their funds, for good commercial paper is scarce just in proportion to the general stagnation in business. In the Stock Markets there is less activity than in our previous dates, without any noticeable fall in prices. A large amount of bonds, lately received from Ger many, have recently been allowed by the Treasury department in consequence of the signatures being well known. In foreign exchanges but little is doing. The range of quotations for sterling bills is from eight to eight and three quarters ; considerable sales have been made at 8i ; the higher price is asked by some houses, but rarely obtained. On France, bills at 60 days, which are preferred upon the whole by purchasers to shorter dates, for which higher prices must be paid, may be quoted at 5.35 to 32k. The weather generally throughout the land has been most propitious to the wheat harvest, which is completed in the southern and south-west states, and now in full progress in the middle and western states. We have accounts from San Francisco to the 10th of May. The market at that place was overstocked with goods, which were selling at low rates. Provisions and clothing were abundant and cheap, and the city was full of people. A large number of the inhabitants were specu lating extravagantly in land. New towns were being laid out in different spots around the Bay, and building lots in wilderness sites were selling at from 1,500 dolls. to 2,000 dolls. each. At the mines matters remained pretty quiet, but fears were entertained that ere long there would be serious disturbances between the Americans and the Mexicans, as some 6,000 of the latter had evinced a turbulent disposition. O wing to the swollen state of the streams, the gold dust had not been dug out so freely this season, but no doubts were entertained that as much would be gathered this year as last. Telegraphic accounts from Montreal of the 24th state that cholera was slightly on the increase in that city. Twenty-eight cases had occurred in the twenty-four hours previous to the above date. Colonel Holmes died of the epidemic on the 23d. Business was dull. A large fire had occurred in the city, and consumed thirty buildings befoi e it was subdued. Intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 6th of June has been received. The most friendly relations con tinue to exist between the President Rosas and the English and French. The British Minister gave a soirée on the birth day of Queen Victoria, which was attended by the daughter of Rosas. The highest quotation of doubloons was 298 ; the lowest, 291 i. Freights were as follow :—Dry hides, 10 dolls. per 2,0001 b. ; salted ditto, 6 dolls. per 2,0001 b. ; wool in bales, 4 dolls. 331 e. per 40 feet. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 25. Cotton has been in active demand, and had advanced to per cent. per lb. The receipts at all the shipping ports for this year were 2,672,760 bales against 2,243,268 last ) ear. The total foreign export this year is 437,190 bales more than last. Flour and Meal—There continued to be a fair ship ping inquiry. The Grain market was steady.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) XTT ' AGAINST LOLA 1.1.0N1 "..12 01 (COUNTESS LANDSFELDT). Some considerable degree of excitement was Ma' nifested in the vicinity of this court, this afterucon, in consequence of its having been rumoured that the above celebrated personage was in custody, and to be brought up for examination on the charge of hav7 ing intermarried with Lieutenant George Traf ford Heald, of the 2d Life Guards, her former husband, Captain James, being, as it was alleged, then and now, alive. Two o'clock having been the hour fixed upon for the charge being gone into, long before that hour the court was crowded almost to excess. M the hour above named, the fair defendant, accom panied by her husband, entered the court, and were both accommodated with chairs in front of the bar. The fair lady is a remarkably fine and handsome woman wiih extremely beautiful eyes. Her husband, Lieutenant Heald, is a tall, gentlemanly man of rather youthful appearance, and seems particularly fond of the Countess his wife. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Clarkson, fur the prosecution, which was mainly instituted by the friends of Lieut. Heald, the aunt of whom was pie s( nt during the proceedings. Mr. Hard' wick was also present on the bench to assist Mr. Bing ham, the sitting magistrate, in the investigation of the case. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case, stated- that be was instructed to bring forward these proceedings by Mrs. Heald, of Hedlington Grove. near Horncastle, Lin colnshire, who was sister to Mr. George Heald, a Chew cery barrister, (father to the husband of the de fendant), and, consequently his aunt. Mrs. Heald, the aLove-eemed, considered it to be her duty to institute these inquiries, she being in a situation to prove that the def'endant's real name was Eliza Reece Hannah James, the wife of Captain James, of the 21st Eist India Native Infantry, and tbat she was mar ried in the month of July last to Lieutenant Heald, her former husband being then alive. The young gentle man, the husband of the defendant, came of age on the 21st of January last, when he came into possession of a fortune of six or seven thousand pounds a year, and the whole of these inquiries were contrary to his wishes and inclination. The defendant's first marriage took place in Ireland, in July 1837, to Mr. James, who was then a lieutenant in the regiment. She accompanied him to India with the regiment, and afterwards returned from India under the charge of Captain Ingram. On being apprehended this morning she stated that she was divorced from Captain James, by an order of the House of Lords. The Learned Gentleman then called the following witnesses:—' Miss Heald deposed that she resided at Hedlington' grove, near Horncastle, Lincolnshire; that she was sister to the deceased George Heald, a Chancery barrister, the husband of the defendant being his son and her nephew. She was appointed his guardian by the Court of Chancery, and her trust expired in January last, he then being of age. Thomas Howard Montague, a clerk in the Consistorl Court, produced the proceedings of the suit in the Court of Chancery which was heard by Dr. Lushington, whose sentence thereon was to the effect that the parties were. to be divorced from b e d, b oar d , & c., and they should not contract any marriage during the liftime of each other. This judgment was given in December, 1842. Frederick Samuel Danvers, clerk in the secratary'll office, East India House, produced the returns of the company as far as they had been made up, namely, to the 13th of June last, intimating thit Mr. James was then captain of the Bengal Native Infantry, and was then alive. He was a lieutenannt in the same regiment in 1837. Chas. 11. Powell, clerk to St. George's, Hanover' square, recognised the lady who represented herself aS the Countess of Landsfeldt, and Mr. Heald, who at• tached their signatures to the register-book (which he produced) on the 19th of July last, they having been that day married by the curate, Mr. Ralston. Sergeant Gray, of the detective police, stated that be apprehended the Countess this morning, at half-past nine, at No. 27, Half Moon-street, as she was about to proceed to her carriage, which was waiting at the door. Having told her the nature of the charge, she said she had been divorced by Parliament, that she did not knout whether James was dead or alive, that she was married in a wrong name, and that it was not a legal marriage. Lord Brougham was present when the divorce wa s granted, and it could be proved by Captain Osborne, be being also present at that time. Inspector When, of the C division, was present at the apprehension of the Countess, and corroborated the above evidence. Mr. Shaw, assistant clerk to Saint George's, was pr e. sent at the marriage, and recognized the parties as hal . ing been married at the above church on the 19th of Jell' Captain Ingram, commander of the Larkins, a s hip 10 the merchant service, knew the person of Mrs. Janie' (Countess Landsfeldt). He also knew Captain Jstnet of the Royal Bengal Native Infantry.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYMAN.—BEISTOLf AUG. 4.—The inhabitants of Clifton have been startled by the intelligence of a 'most shocking accident having occurred yesterday afternoon to a clergyman of the Church of England, the Rev. George Hickes, and hi which the unfortunate gentleman lost his life. It sr pears that the reverend gentleman, who was the curate of Devonport, had been staying for a short tinge at Cumberland-house hot wells. Yesterday h e. left home for the purpose of taking 1113 airing on Dardham Down, and while tiler; accidentally fell from the summit of a rock, named Lion's Cliff; a depth of sev era l h undred feet, to the vale below, and was almost instantaneously deprived of life- Au inquest was held on the body last night, and from the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased we' 28 years of age, and was married, with two children . He breakfasted with his family as usual yesterdAY morning, after which he remained in the drawing-I.°m°' playing with an d amus i ng one of his children, until nearli twelve o'clock, when he left for the purpose of taking a walk, stating that he should return to dinner. At he tween one and two o'clock a man named John Owen' residing at A s h ton - p l ace, happened to bo standing at to" top of the zig-zsg walk which leads from the hot we ll ; to the Down, and a boy from the other aide hailed him, and cried out, " There is a gentleman falling front the rock." Owen hastened down the rock, and at the bottom, where there is a shrubbery, he saw a gentle' man lying flat on his back, but with his face turned to" wards the water. He was stretched out at full l e ngth' and was bleeding from the nose an d ears. Although having fallen from so great a height, he was not dead, but lifted up his eyes and left arm. Upon perceiving these indications of the, Owen ran away for medical assistance, leaving a young man with the deceased. Upon his return, however, in a few minutes, amour' panied by a surgeon, he found that the unfortunate c•ergyman had breathed his last a minute or two after he had left him.
