Many extensive under takings and valuable improvements were effected by funds subscribed under that system, which could never otherwise have been carried into execution. There was scarcely a large city or district that had not its own tontine, in which the wealthier inhabi tants were more or less interested, and many families are now in the actual enjoyment of the prizes placed within the reach of every subscriber. The stimulus afforded to the national industry by means thereof was productive of the most beneficial results. A large joint-stock capital was collected, and judi ciously expended in the purchase of estates, or the erection of public buildings, the rents, issues, and profits of which were periodically divided among those subscribers whose nominees were then surviv ing. Each year a larger dividend became payable by the disappearance of those E ntitled to a participation in the profits until, ultimately, the survivor became entitled to the entire fund. It was, in fact, the converse of life assurance, for in place of receiving a considerable sum at the death of the party nominated, the interest of the pro prietor altogether ceased and determined on that event. The prospective advantages to a long lived party were undoubtedly very great, but they were too long deferred, and persons were unwilling to wait for a long series of years before they should enjoy the fruits of their speculation. It was, in fact, a species of lottery, in which the longest lives, obtained the capital prizes, and those who died early were the holders of blanks. Eighteen or twenty years should pass away before the amount of the original subscrip tion was returned, but from that time forth the share became very valuable. Obviously, however, it was not a mode by which a person in receipt of a life income could lay by a certain provision for his family. He might, undoubtedly, nominate one of his children, who would thus become entitled to a progressively increasing annuity, but there were frequently conditions as to age, &c., that prevented the subscriber from' selecting the per son for whose especial benefit he wished the fund to be applied ; and the life of any other nominee was subjected to casualties which might defeat the original object. Hence the system gradually fell into desuetude, while a vast increase took place in the business of life assurance. _ _ A judicious combination of the systems would certainly have guarded against every contingency. Many subscribers to tontines insured the lives of their nominees for the amount of the investment, and thus became certain of receiving back their outlay. But individual insurances were extremely expensive, and during the earlier years swept away the greater portion, if not the entire, of the dividends. No combined effort was made on the part of the entire body to insure the lives of all the nominees, which could have been effected on very reasonable terms by an arrangement with any respectable company, and at a very low rate, in deed, if the association became their own assurers by which mode not only the profits to the assurance company, but the expenses of management and the stamp-duty to Government, would all be saved. No investigation as .to the state of health of the assured would be necessary. The subscriber, by the simple act of nomination, would afford the best evidence of his perfect confidence therein. There could be no danger of fraud—no legal expenses to be incurred. All the contingen cies that must be taken into account in individual cases, and which increase the rates of premium, would be avoided. There can, therefore, be but little doubt that a system combining the tontine and life assurance principles would prove highly remunera tive to shareholders. Now it is in this manner that Mr. WASON proposes that the sum of 4,000,0001. sterling should obtained, to be invested in the purchase and improvement of Irish estates. These should be divided into four classes, the capital of each class to be 1,000,000/. sterlin s g o ,; . in 2sl shares, halves, eighths, of 1001., andfa farmer m 2/ e . r lO o s r . quarters, and respectively, so that even he humblest n he interest in tradesman might be enabled to obtain ; r ) i f r. t wAs o o n i i i inee s the undertaking. As all the lives would be assured by the association, ests that the profits should only be distributed every ten years, by which means all those whose nominees lived for twenty 3 ears would receive about ten per cent. more than their original subscription, while, in case of death during any part of the interim, the original subscription would Le returned without any deduction whatever, the only loss being the current interest, if the party should die within the first ten years. /% ti I' I J rpm the present value of Irish estates there is ''l7 --- ylittie4ttbt that at least 5 per cent. could be obtained , ore tile Amount invested, and that on the most satis -V ::tI-Cl* ‘'‘:' dilPfacta 6o 0004 W yse ry/ ; so tbe would be at least • , , per ecurity annum that belon er ging to each class ft tbviry commencement, and it would be impos- ,~S ~~ _r-~,. I~`c THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, silts to estimate the improvement that would take place under a judicious management where the soil would be brought to the highest degree of fertility and all its natural capabilities fully developed. Some of the cases of charitable trusts that from time to time are brought before the Court of Chancery afford the best illustration of the enormous increase of value of these properties, the rentals at the present day amounting to as many thousands as there were for merly tens of poundi sterling. It would manifestly be contrary to public policy to bestow so vast a fortune on a single individual. Mr. WAsoN therefore suggests that the accumulated funds of each class should be divided when so many lives had dropped off as would leave the surviving parties entitled to estates of 1,0001. per annum for every share of 100/. ; of 5001. per annum for every half share ; of 2501. per annum for every quarter-share, and 125/. per annum for every eighth. There can be no doubt that an undertaking affording such favourable promises as a private speculation, exclusive of its vast public advantages, will be eagerly sought after if brought forward under the auspices of men in whom implicit confidence could be reposed; and we trust that Ministers and others, having the welfare of the sister kingdom at heart, will not neg lect so valuable an opportunity of advancing the pros , perity of a country that has suffered 30 fearfully from the oppression and misgovernment of past generations. It was somewhat amusing to notice the difficulty with which, at the recent Cutlers' Banquet at Shef field, political discussion was avoided. The fact that the assembly was in no way a political one was, how ever, strongly impressed upon all who beheld the Duke of NEWCASTLE, seated near Earl FITZWILLIAM, receiving compliments from Mr. ROEBUCK ! The latter, strange to say, was in a complimentary mood, and commented on Lord FITZWILLIAM'S dexterity in talking of politics, even while deprecating all allusion to them, in very graceful and felicitous terms. " There have been observations made by the Noble Earl at this table with that dexterity which distin guished his artistic renown in the House of Lords — touching without affecting, leading without seeming to lead, directing instantaneous l y to the point without o s incurring the responsibility of do ing.sNoobleErl dropped a Various s uggestions of mighty import the with a sort of nice saving, that allowed him almost to touch the rock, and yet turn round and sail away on another tack. I admired the dexterity ; I have wit nessed it,before." The raillery was certainly well deserved, for Earl FITZWILLIAM'S speech, with its " I must not say this" and "I do not say that," while by inference he was all the time saying this and that, and much more, was a compound of singu lar audacity. Yet, which of his hearers would have wished it unsaid, and what stickler for the propriety of " no-politics " at public dinners could blame such political allusions as those scattered throughout Lord FITZWILLIAM'S very admirable and eloquent dis course? When the Noble Earl declared that pro perty could not exist without industry, it might be objected that he was only repeating a well known truism. It is, however, one of those truisms which have need to be continually enforced, and coming from the lips of a landlord and a peer it carries double weight. " Industry," said Lord FITZWILLIAM, " is that by which all the property of this country has been created. I care not in whose hands it may be, I care not whether it is in the workshop of the manufacturer of this town, or whe ther it is in landed property, which is now enjoyed by the descendant of some manufacturer. Tbis 'venture to point out to you, and to those out of doors, that no pro perty can exist but through the medium of industry.' , It is not the industrious that require this information. It is on the owners of property that the fact has need to be impressed—they who, enjoying the fruits of the industry of others, would withhold from those others their due participation thereof, and " muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." The days of class legislation are now, happily, drawing to a close. The overthrow of the corn-laws inflicted a blow upon the whole system from which no effort can recover it. Did some such reflection cross the mind of his Grace of Newcastle while he listened to these radical senti ments of his brother Peer? If so, he wisely kept his reflections to himself, and obtained the cordial compli ments of Mr. ROEBUCK. "I was delighted," said the new Member for Sheffield, " with the suggestions of the Noble Duke. Time teaches us many things; and there are kind feelings raisedby time which I was delighted to find had made their way on the present occasion. And, finding myself here at a social board with the Noble Duke, his most humble admirer on the present °coo :ion, I do admire the effect of time which has brought us thus mutually here before you, a united body of our countrymen. There is no victory but the victory of truth. Time has taught it to us." These public meetings, insignificant as some may consider them, are most happily influential in promoting feelings of mutual kindness and cordiality among individuals of various political parties and different stations. They give an opportunity for the interchange of many sen timents and opinions which have no outlet in the arena of St. Stephen's, and by promoting the " union" of the various members of the commonwealth, they serve in no inconsiderable degree to develop that " strength" which is the basis of all popular power. rHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The Paris papers of yesterday have arrived. Wonderful to relate, M. DR FALLOUX is not only still in the ➢Ministry, but contrary to the expectations of all, has accorded words of unconditional commen dation to the memorable " letter" of the PRESIDENT. A decree of LOUIS NAPOLEON, published iTthE; Moniteur, re-instates M. DE FALLotix, in his func tions a. Minister of Public Instruction, his duties having during his recent absence in the country been performed ad interim by M. Layton;mg. According to the Dix Decembre M. DE FALLoux approved of the letter of the PRESIDENT of the Re public in the warmest and most explicit terms when it was submitted to the Council, and that he even said, " I would sign such a letter with both hands." Meanwhile General ROSTOLAN has positively recalled from the chief command at Rome, the order for his recall having left Paris on Monday. been The Presse states that, curiously enough, General RosToraN, himself ignorant that he was about to be recalled, had sent in his resignation. During the recent visit of the PRESIDENT along the Lyons Railway he wore the uniform of a General of the National Guard. He was accompanied by the Marquis of DOUGLAS. The following anecdote of his journey, showing the enthusiasm of his reception by the multitude, will prove interesting At Fontainebleau a vast crowd was assembled, who shouted again and again "Vive Napoleon I" The PRESIDENT of the Republic passed the National Guards (about 6,000 in number) and troops in re view ; among the latter was a magnificent regiment of carbineers, which excited universal ad miration. The shouts of "Vive Napoleon Vive le President!" were even more numerous and enthusiastic than at Melun. One fellow in the crowd took on himself to bellow " Vive la Constitu tion ! A bas Napoleon I" but a carbineer soon silenced him by a heavy blow on the face from his clenched fist, and the people falling on him nearly tore him to pieces. General OUDINOT yesterday paid a visit to the Minister of War, after having been received at an earlier hour by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. On the occasion of the review held by the PRESI DENT of the Republic on Monday morning in the Champ de Mars, he was accompanied by the Marquis of DOUGLAS, General CHANGARNIER, and a number of other general officers. His arrival on the ground was hailed with loud acclamations from the troops. Before the filing off took place, the colonels of the different regiments were called toge ther and complimented on the excellent appear ance of their men, and at the same time received the thanks of the PRESIDENT for the zeal and devoted ness they had shown in maintaining the discipline of their respective corps in the midst of the serious events through which they have had to pass. As the different regiments passed by the PRESIDENT, cries of " Vive Louis Napoleon ! Vive le President de la Republique !" resounded from all the ranks. Before the announcement in the Moniteur of yes terday of the resumption of his ministerial functions by M. DE Far..Loux, there was a rumour abroad that M. VICTOR Huoo would be appointed Minister of bAl‘, l y n ili s lnt t th r i hsuetececstreiiroocntu., and that General B EDEAU wou ld b e reportsinNNs circ u mstance arecine t he alluded uerdooeuodmr course eoo, dissipated showingG en ral tb ß hy u a tr.t this ir there is nn timE is no immediate split in the Cabinet. The Constitutionnel has at length spoken out upon the subject of the " letter" written by the PRESIDENT. One or twosentences, as convey ing the opinions of M. TRIERS, we may briefly trans late.. After remarking upon those among the opposition who are disposed to draw the most extraordinary conclusions from this memorable document, the Constitutionnel remarks :—" The jour nals evidently exaggerate the complication which, in their opinion, it is calculated to produce. They triumph too much and too loudly, and upon what forsooth ? Why upon the embarrassment of France. Truly this is very honourable for their patriotism. . . . One tells us that this document re veals to us the reactionary intentions of the Roman expedition ; another tells us that this new act changes the policy of France ; that it substitutes a liberal policy for that reactionary policy which until now has been followed in regard to the affairs of Italy—two statements, which are glaringly contradictory, and of which the one is not more true than the other. What, then, is this reactionary thought which has at last been allowed inadvertently to escape, after having remained so long concealed ? It is that the expedition to Rume had for an object the re-establishment of the POPE. What 1 it is that of which you were ignorant? Se riously, is there a man of any intelli gence who has doubted it for one instant ? The explanations given from the tribune have not; it is true, been sufficiently clear, sufficiently categorical upon this point. But the fact has been nevertheless sufficiently understood and recognised by the whole world—because it was the only and the inevitable solution M ODILON BARROT succinctly declared from the tribune that what we went to seek in Italy were the guarantees of our influence, the guarantees of true liberty. 'Of liberty, honest and moderate !' ironically exclaimed a Member of the Mountain. Precisely ! of honest and moderate liberty—a liberty which should exclude a Mazzinian republic a liberty which should also exclude clerical tyranny—at the same time admitting the restoration of the greatest reformer of all the Holy Pontiffs." After a further examination and explication of the subject, the writer concludes thus:— " No! the policy of France in this matter is not changed. The only difference is that that is now said aloud which has hitherto been uttered rather in a subdued voice. This publicity, to which you yourselves have con strained the Government by your attacks, is perhaps a new difficulty ? Exult, therefore, in the obstacles which you have opposed to the liberal influence of your country I There is one lesson which the Oppo sition should draw from recent events, if they pos sessed a particle of patriotism ; it is that unceasingly to calumniate a Government which negotiates is often nothing less than forcing it to justify itself, and by so doing to add another difficulty to the success which might prove honourable to the country and serviceable to the cause of liberty." This is altogether the most remarkable vindication of the letter, and indeed of the entire policy of the PRESIDENT and of his Government, that has yet ap peared. In it M. Tunas has done yeoman's service to LOUIS NAPOLEON. The National of Monday contains a violent attack upon M. DE LAMARTJNE, an attack at once bitter and sarcastic. It terminates in this mournful and re proachful language :—" 0 Counsellor of the People, what would we not give that you might have remained itslfriend ! 0 you! great orator of the just passions and of the noble aspirations of democracy, what have you done with that heart which once throbbed in unison with our own ?" • Bsxio, whose wound, received in the affair of June, 1848, has recently re-opened, has just left Paris for the baths of the Pyrenees. A funeral service will be performed on Wednes day in the Church St. Louis, for the repose of am soul of the late King CHARLES ALBERT.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales; and included 4,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham at sid. to sid., 300 Surat at 4d. to 4Ad, and 40 Sea Islands at Ild. to Is. Id. per lb. The market closed heavily. Prices of all kinds are at Friday's rates, except Americans, which were a shade in favour of buyers.—The Railway Share market opened at an improvement, but again gave way and closed weak. In the Corn Market there is no alteration, the trade being dull. The arrivals are 4,120 quarters of foreign Wheat and 15,010 of Oats. The Hibernia steamer is not yet announced, but the easterly winds would necessarily retard her in some measure, and she is not properly due until to-day. It is presumed that we shall have sumething later from Mexico by this opportunity. Accounts from Belgium state that a postal convention had been concluded between that country and Spain. The franking system would be done away with, and newspapers, price currents, &c., would have to be paid for in advance. Letters weighing 7k Belgian grains or Spanish ounce will pay 4 reaux in Spain, and 1 franc in Belgium. The treaty is made for six years, renew able at the end of that period for four years more, if desired. The Amsterdam Stock market was quiet yesterday for the home securities, the Dutch Two-and a- Half per Cents. being 54 one-sixteenth. The shares of the So ciitb de Commerce had been in demand at a rise of 3 per cent., owing to the ratification by the States General of the contract between that company _and the Go vernment. At Vienna on the 7th inst. the Metallics were 78}. From all quarters hitherto, the accounts respecting the grain crops have been satisfactory, and it is to be hoped that they will be secured ere the weather becomes unsettled, and of which there is now some appearance. The northern districts are those for which we have alone to fear, since there is no corn out in the south; but it is estimated on good authority, that three-fourths of the harvest in England had been secured before the close of last week, and therefore, the whole, probably, will be in by Saturday next. The business done yesterday afternoon in Bills of Exchange was at rather lower rates on Paris and Trieste, but higher on Hamburgh, Amsterdam, and Frankfort. We have been officially informed that the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders will meet on Friday next, to consider the notification in regard to the Mexican Agency. the English Stock Market has been tolerably firm to-day, but the dealings have been of no im portance. Consols have brought 92k k for Transfer, being now 92k , and 92k 1 for Account. The New Three. an d-a-Quarter per Cents. have been at 93i to 94*, and the Three per Cents. at 92i to 924. Bank Stock has been dull at 199. and India Stock steady at 254. Exchequer-bills have been lower again, viz., 355. to 375. premium, and the greater demand for money is well illustrated by this. In Foreign Securities the change is but trivial. Mexican Bonds have been 274 to 28; Equador, 31; and Chilian, 97 to 98. Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 34 to 35; and Portuguese Four per Cents., 28} to 29. Russian Bonds have been done at 108, and since at 1061. Dutch Two-and-a-Half . per Cents. have been 53i to 541. Railway Shares have been worse again, and have given way in price. Eastern Counties have been 71 i; Caledonian, 174 to 18k; and Great Western, 661 to 651. Others in proportion. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCE. (From the Official List.)

News from Spain is up to the 6th instant in clusively. Further particulars are given of the attacks made by the Moors on the Spaniards at Mellilla. There is some intention of employing the Spanish troops now in Italy in enforcing the claims of Spain on Morocco. The Prince of JonavILLE is said to be expected on a visit to the Duke and :Duchess of MoNx- PENSIER. The Evana contradicts in a positive manner the rumour that General CORDOVA has resigned his post of commander of the forces in Italy. The Three per Cents. closed at 27 3.16 for cash; the Four per Cents. at 11*; the Five per Cents. at 11i; the Debt without Interest at 3 15-16 for paper; and the Cou pons at 6i for cash. GERIVIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The sister of KOSSUTH and her husband, M. KUTKAT, have been arrested and taken to Presburg. It is said that important documents relative to the Hungarian insurrection were found in their pos session. ARTHUR VON GEORGET is at Gratz, in the full enjoyment of his infamous liberty. The German Reform states that the Hungarian renegade and traitor will enlist as a volunteer in the Caccales. The question of the recognition of Hungary fully occupies the attention of the Cabinet Council. Ac cording to the German Reform, they will not decide the question before the arrival of RADETZKY, HAYNAU, and JELLACHICII. The majority of the Council seem disposed to grant to Hungary all the political and administrative concessions that may be compatible with the charter granted on the 4th March, and to abstain from any measures in regard to the introduction of the system of centralisation. It is hinted that some of the Ministers are disposed to accord a distinct constitution to Hungary ; but this is not very likely to be true. Another party in the Council, among whom are specified the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, and Public Instruction, are, on the contrary, in favour of the rigorous enforcement of the constitution of March 4. General HAYNAU arrived at Vienna on the sth, and it now appears pretty certain that he will not return to Hungary. Various rumours are afloat as to his future destination ; some say that he will be appointed Governor of Vienna, others Commander in-Chief in Styria, others in Italy, and others again in the Voralberg. All the Russian troops are expected to leave Hungary and Transylvania, with the exception of the third army corps under General RUDIGER, which is concentrated at Kaschan and Eperies. Marshal RADETZKT is expected to meet the EM PEROR at -Cilli, and to accompany him in his tour, and to return with his MAJESTY to *Vienna. The position of Comorn is becoming more and more complicated. It is evidently not the fault of KLAPKA if the Hungarian flag continue to float over the fortress of Comorn. He has resigned his appoint ment as commander on the plea of ill health, and n g ts a . rrison have laid g i v l e n n i t t h e u p to me e t h w t o i m H e Hungarian f C t o h u e down their arms, while bands of insurgents and dis banded Honveds pour into the fortress, to attempt further resistance to the Imperialists. Count Nir- GENT is drawing the whole of the besieging force stationed at the Danube closer and closer round the fortress. The garrison is resolved not to capitulate on any conditions but those granted by the Russians to GEORGE! ; but this is strongly opposed by HATNAU, who arrived at Vienna on the sth, and instantly dispatched a letter to Field- MarshaI,RADETZKY to hasten to Vienna. This invita tion, in conjunction with present circumstances, con firms the opinion entertained by many respecting the change of the Ministry of 'War. The Field-Marshal had scarcely entered Vienna before it was reported as certain that he intends to place in the hands of his MAJESTY bis office as Plenipotentiary in Hungary. PRUSSIA. Accounts from Berlin to the Bth state that arrange. ments are making for the meeting of the King o PRUSSIA with the young Emperor of AUSTRIA, al Tmplitz, in Bohemia. HAN OVER. The elections in Hanover are terminated, but the Government has not yet fixed a day for the opening of the Chambers, and it is said that it will postpone it as long as possible. The object of this is to delay the meeting of the German Parliament, elected under the Constitution of the Three Kings. SAXON Y. Saxony is following a similar line of policy with Hanover. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. Accounts from the imperial city to the Sth inclu sively state that nothing has transpired yet concern ing the preliminaries that have been arranged for the transfer of the Central Power. The deliberations of the Ministerial and Diplomatic Councils are guarded with more than usual secrecy. A solemn procession of the Host was to take place at Mayence on the 9th. It is to be a day of military rejoicing and thanksgiving on account of the vic tories gained by the Austrians in Italy and Hun gary. Senator HARNIEZ is gone to Berlin, to arrange for the entrance of Frankfort into the league of the 'Three Kings. HESSE DARMSTADT. Hesse Darmstadt has given its adhesion to the TURKEY. According to the Prague Zeitung of the 6th inst., it has now been ascertained, upon unquestionable authority, that KOSSUTH, DEMBINSKI, and MESSAROS are at Widden, under the protection of the Turkish PASHA. They had previously placed themselves under British protection, and signified . their intention to emigrate to England. The intervention of the Bri tish Consul has in consequence been requested, and the liberty of their persons having been demanded by him, they are said to have been at once liberated. ITALY. M. DE RAYNEVAL is said to have obtained some liberal concessions from the PorE, with which he had at once started for Rome. _ News from Naples to the 4th states that great preparations were making at Portici for the reception of the King of NAPLES and the PorE, but up to the hour of our dispatch being dated the squadron from Gaeta had not appeared. No doubt, however, existed of the coming of the illustrious Sovereigns. From Rome of the same date we learn that a qua rantine of seven days had been established at Civita Vecchia, and great fears were entertained of the approach of the cholera, which had already broken out at Ferrara. The Monitore Toscano announces the demise on the Ist of the Archduchess MARIE THERESA CHRIS TINA, third daughter of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY and the Grand Duchess MARIE ANTOINETTE, born at Pisa, February 6, 1838. Prince PRALORMO, one of the signers of the treaty between Austria and Sardinia, has been named Am bassador for the latter power at Paris. Prince METTBRNICH is, it is said, about to settle at Florence. THE BRAZILS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—By the Se raphina, arrived last evening, we have advices from Pernambuco to the 4th ult. Exchange on England was quoted at 25d. Freights were nominal, at id. per pound for cotton, 355. per ton for hides, and 255. for sugar. The Andes, from London, arrived on the 30th July. At Rio Janeiro, on 27th July, Exchange stood at 2s. ld. to 2s. lid. Freights were unaltered. The Sea Gull arrived on 23d July from Falmouth. Her Majesty's ship Calypso sailed from Rio for England on the 22d. DON CASTER RACES. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY MORNING. LATEST ST. LEGER BETTING. I to 2 on The Flying Dutchman 10 to 1 agst Old Dan Tucker 18 to 1 agst Thringarth 20 to 1 agst Nunnykirk 30 to 1 agst Vatican 30 to 1 agst Herbert THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST LOLA MONTES. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) This being the day appointed for the further hearing of the charge of bigamy against the very notorious lady known as Lola Montes, a considerable number of persons assembled about the court in the expectation of witnessing the arrival of her and her husband. The crowd, however, was by no means so great as it was on the last occasion, owing to it having been generally circulated that this lady and Mr. Heald took their departure yesterday morning for the continent, with the intention of proceeding to Italy. This, upon inquiry, turned out to be correct, and it was further generally understood that both parties had agreed that the matter should be settled, and that it had been arranged that the recognimces should be entreated. From the subjoined remarks of Mr. Clarkson, it will be seen that this supposition was incorrect. Shortly before two o'clock, Mr. Clarkson, accom panied by Miss Heald's solicitor, entered the court, and, after a short interval, Mr. Clarkson said (addressing Mr. Hardwick) — Through your kind courtesy, Sir, I have received a confirmation of that which I cannot but say I had some reason to believe before—viz., that the person—Mrs. James—who • has been charged, at the instance of Miss Heald, with the felonious offence of bigamy, has not made her appearance here to-day, and does not intend to appear. You have been kind enough, Sir, to inform me, previously that a communication to that effect has been received at this office. I can only now state that it is my un pleasant duty, a duty however which I feel called upon to discharge, to pray, as I stated I would on a former occasion, that the bail of this person be es treated. I have a word more to add, and that in consequence of a rumour which has prevailed to some extent, and certainly not without some reason for it, because it was very naturally supposed that as this lady arrived in London on Friday last, it was her intention to ap pear at this court for the purpose of attending her further examination. The rumour to which I allude is this—that a compromise has been entered into on the part of the highly respectable lady, Miss Heald, the sister of this young man's father. There are no grounds whatever for any such rumour, and the best proof I can give of its inaccuracy is, that I now pray that the recogniaances of the respectable persons who have become bail should be at once es treated; but depend upon it that Miss Heald was, and still is, actuated by the purest motives, and her only object, which I am sure will be sanctioned by yourself and every person of proper feeling, was to rescue the son of her deceased brother from a marriage equally illegal and dis graceful. Such proceedings at law as she will be enabled to resort to will be taken when further information is received from India; and if the fact can only be proved that Mr. James was alive even up to the period at which this last marriage took place, no one, I think, will be able to entertain a doubt that the motive s which influenced Miss Heald in instituting these proceedings were proper and correct. Her only desire is to rescue this deluded young man from the fangs of this woman ; • her motives were pure and upright, =as I think everybody will concur with me in thinking, and she is entitled to no less, and asks for no more, than that the recog ninances should be estreated. Mr. HARDWICK—Under these circumstances I declare that the recognizances are estreated. The parties then left the court. DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.—One Of the moat eccentric characters of modern times died a few days ago at the Cochin Hospital at Paris. This man, whose name was Jules Andr4 Gueret, being possessed, when 25 years of age, of a considerable fortune, resolved never to marry. He converted his entire estate into hard cash, and, in order not to suffer any losses front failures, depreciation of property, &c., he kept his money in his own possession. He had made the following calcu lation :—" The life of a sober man extends over a period of 70 years, that of a man who denies himself no kind of amusement may attain 56 or 60. Thus, the whole of my hopes cannot go beyond that period; at any rate, as a last resort, suicide is at my command." He divided his money into equal portions for each year's expenditure. This division was so nicely arranged that at the expira tion of the 60th year Gueret would have nothing left, and each year he scrupulously spent the sum set apart. But, alas, he had not reflected on the clinging attachment of man to life, for in 1843, having exceeded the pre scribed period, he patiently submitted to his misfortune, and, being then old and infirm, he took his stand on the Quai des Celestins with a small box and a few lucifer matches, living on the charity of the !passers by. He wore suspended round his Heck a piece of pasteboard, on which were written the following lines of his own com posing : " — Ayez, pitie, peasants, du pauvre Andre Garet, " Dont la vie est pius longue, bolas, qu'il ne croyait." The cholera carried bim off at last, to the great regret of the artistes of the Ile St. Louis, whose leisure hours he hiled away by the relation of his youthful recollections. —Galignani's Messenger. EXTRA ORDINARY CAPTURE.—About ten days since Mr. King, of the Manor-mills, Woodleigb, was sum moned to his door by an alarm from his daughter, where, to his astonishment, a large kite had alighted on a cage that contained a goldfinch, which hung against the front of the house. So eager was the bird for his prey, that Mr. King ascended a flight of steps and seized him with his hand. It is a very fine bird of the kind. The extent of his wings from pinion to pinion is two feet, and his extreme length from bead to tail four teen inches.—Exeter Pose. SEPTEMBER 12, 1849.

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY This week's arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage, have been tolerably good, yet the show of samples this morning was small. The finest qualities sold without difficulty at fully Monday's quo tations. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. The imports of Foreign Wheat have not exceeded 4,120 quarters, almost wholly from the Baltic. Very few .transactions took place in any description, at about stationary prices. For all kinds of Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, the demand was in a very sluggish state, at last week's de pression in value. The Malt trade ruled excessively heavy, at a'most nominal currencies. Oats were very dull; but we have no further decline to notice in their value. All other Grain, including Flour, moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. English •• Scotch Irish Foreign ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. I Barley. i Oats. f Malt. Qrs. 1 Qrs. 1,620 110 Qrs.

BRITTLEBANK V. lIARDY. This was an action to recover 281. 13s. 61, the amount of an attorney's bill of costs. Mr. BROOMFIELD, the solicitor to the plaintiff, said that the plaintiff was an attorney at Ashbourne; but a difficulty arose in consequence of the clerk to the o ndon agent having died. The Learned SECONDARY said that although the de fendant had suffered judgment to go by default, yet it would be necessary to prove the payment of the sums charged, as they were not taxable items. M. BROOMFIELD observed that there was strong pre sumptive evidence of the payment, as 61. Bs. 9d. was the taxed costs in an action in which the defendant was the plaintiff, but had stayed proceedings, and unless he bad authorised the payment of the costs an execution would have issued against him. He would prove the signature of the deceased clerk, who wrote to say how the action stood. The SECONDARY said it was unusual to swear a n attorney as a witness after he had addressed the jury.. The Foreman said that it was singular that no reeopt had been taken. The SECONDARY said it appeared to be a harsh prin' ciple of law to reject evidence in a case where defendant did not attempt to deny the debt. As to 2/ Is. of the claim for money paid, there was no evidence, and be would leave it to the jury to say whether they were satisfied as to the 61. Bs. ed., but he was inclined to the opinion that plaintiff could only recover 181. 17s. 2d., the amount of the taxable items; he would, however, make a remark on his notes, of which plaintiff might have a cop); and perhaps the taxing-master on evidence being adduce ( ' before him, would increase the verdict in the same mew ner as he did for noting a bill of exchange where evidence had not been given at the trial. Mr. IhtoomaxELD said that he did not think the ta%" ing-master could take notice of the Learned Secondary' recommendation. who The Learned SECONDARY l e ft th e case to th e jury, found for the amount claimed, less 21. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. WITHIst, Chairman.) John Rogers and John Smith, youths of nineteen year ° of age, and of respectable appearance, were indicted for stealing a pair of boots, value seventeen shillings, from the shop of Mr. Edward Tombs, of Eagle-street, , lington, bootmaker, under circumstances of rather $ novel character. The prisoners ostensibly obtained . 11 living by hawking sealing-wax, and in the pursuit of til l+ vocation they visited the shop of the prosecutor, in which his daughter, an intelligent young girl, was attending' Rogers gave her a note, addressed to Mr. Tombs, se' she went up stairs to give it to her father. Whilst Miss Tombs was out of the shop, Smith was seen by Mr' Scott, a tradesman living opposite to the prosecutor, to take the boots in question from the door. When Oil were walking away Mr. Scott communicated what be saw to Mr. 'Tombs; the prisoners were taken into c ur tody, and the boots found in the possession of Smith. It was attempted by the counsel of Rogers to discos' nett him from the theft, and to fix it as an independe nt action on the part of Smith, but the jury found then both Guilty. Mr. Lockyer, one of the principal officers of the, House of Correction, stated to the Court that he shou ld be able, by the next sessions, to communicate to the Bench information respecting the fraudulent practices of the prisoners, which would materially influence the judge in passing sentence, if that were respited to allo"' him time. Judgment was accordingly respited till next sessions. PARIS AND LYONS RAILROAD. The first section of this railroad, from Paris t ° Toonerre, was opened by the President of the Repub . ' lie on Sunday last. This line, both from the nature and extent of its works, and the interesting localitie s through which it passes, merits a few lines of detail' especially as to the traveller a n d the tourist it off ers facilities not hitherto possessed. The Paris and LYen s .
