After several delays, and a considerable amount of expectation, the Message addressed to the national representatives by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic has appeared. Our readers, having been enabled to examine the contents themselves, by its publication in our columns yesterday evening, will now, therefore, be the more capable of appreciating the justice of nny opinion pronounced upon its character. It must be remembered in the first instance that this important document is one annually required from the Chief Magistrate of French Democracy, in compliance with the 55th Article of the Repub lican Constitution. That a thousand inferences should be drawn from the circumstance that the Message, instead of being delivered in the Tribune, was inserted in the Moniteur, cannot be matter of surprise, considering the fierce animosity raging between the various sec tions of French politicians—an animosity which not unfrequently, and at tempestuous intervals, finds a vent even in the discussions of the Parliament, in furiating the minority to such a pitch of madness, that we have latterly begun to look upon the Moun tain as decidedly Volcanic. As a m fitter of course, the authorship of the Message has been variously attributed to every one but the Prince-PRESIDENT. Some whispered that it was the elaborated production of M. TRIERS. Others that the original manuscript was in the handwriting of M. MOLE. Others, again, that it was solely attributable to M. BARROT. Several speaking upon "the most unquestionable authority," pronounced the whole to be the effusion of two or three of the leading statesmen ; while another band of qui dnuncs protested that it was the emanation of the whole of the ruling administration collectively. Here, however, to set at rest, at once and for ever, all these ridiculous rumours, ii the Message itself hearing upon its every syllable the impress of the hand from which it has proceeded, and followed immediately after- wards by the statement of the Journal des Debats, that the Message is exclusively written by LOUIS NAPOLEON. As such, consequently, we accept the Message, and enter dispassionately upon its examination. Not, be it observed, without a painful emotion of sympathy for the embarrassments ,by which the PRESIDENT was sur rounded in its composition. An experience of the reception given to Royal Speeches in our own coun try, and to Presidential Messages in the United States, has long since assured us that whatever may be said in such speeches or such messages, it is physically, and morally, and politically impossible to satisfy the tastes of the population. If the document is brief—it is superficial. If, on the contrary, it enters at any length into particulars—it is tedious, prolix, and unendurable. If it con tains any calculations—it is a dry sum in arithmetic, a dull inventory of receipts and expenditure. If, on the other hand, no statistics whatever are given, every assertion in al lusion to the Exchequer is gainsayed, every statement as to the fiscal or financial prospects is treated as hy pothetical. So in fact it has already proved with the Message transmitted to the Legislative Assembly from the Elysee National. Scarcely one of our Parisian contemporaries but has some objection or other to make to the document. One condemns it as a disingenuous effort to gloze over the position of the country. Atother assails it as a dangerous ex aggeration of the difficulties accumulated round the Republic. This one cries out with insatiable curiosity that there is not enough of it. That, with a manner expressive of the utter exhaustion of his attention, insists there is a vast deal too much. Here is a legitimist at white heat calling aloud because the PRESIDENT has committed himself definitively to the cause of Republicanism. Here again is a red hot ultra yelling with indignation because the Message is not by any means sufficiently democrat — for him ! And so the unfortunate document, pre pared with so much conscientious and patriotic deliberation, gets torn to very rags and tatters almost before the paper is dried from the printing ! All these things confirm us in the opinion formed by ourselves after a calm and unimpassioned perusal of the M essage of the French PRESIDENT to the French Representatives—an opinion that, altogether, the document is as honest and rational in matter as its manner is simple, lucid, and straightforward. As far as our judgment will enable us to arrive at any definite conclusion, it certainly appears to us thst the object of the Message is in this initial effort, fully and boldly realised. What is that object ? Plainly this—to lay before the National Legislature annually an account of the actual position of the country, an ac count of its position internally and externally, of its agricultural position, of its financial position, of its administrative position, of its position in regard to the encouragement of education, the repression of crime, the development of legislative improvements, the extension of commerce, and the stabilitation of the existing institutiots, of its position as to its naval and military resources, and of its position as to its foreign relations. Now this is precisely the sub stance of the Message just issued by the President Louis NAPOLEON from his palace of the Elysee National. That Message, as far as we can compre hend a series of very comprehensible statements, is an exact and careful delineation of the situation of France in all these particulars. It presents a vivid picture of the state of the country both abroad and at home ; a narrative of the immense dangers and difficulties which have been surmounted, and a judicious warning as to those other dangers and diffi culties which yet remain to be overcome. Beyond this, the First Message of the First PRESIDENT of the French Republic is prefaced by a reiteration of the guarantees already given by him of the truth of his patriotism, and of the sincerity of his adhesion to the cause of Democracy. In this renewed declara tion of his loyalty to the popular ambiticn, the Prince-PRESIDENT again proclaims his resolve— " To defend society, audaciously attacked ; "To strengthen a public, prudent, great, and honest ; " To protect family tics, religion, property ; " To cause all possible ameliorations and economy ; " To protect the press against arbitrary power and licenFe ; " To diminish the abuses of centralization ; " To efface the traces of our civil discords ; " Finally, to adopt abroad a policy without arrogance and without weakness." That is the formula of his religion of govern ment. That is the profession of his political faith. Those are the axioms embodying the principles upon which a BON AT A.RTE determines to realize that Democratic Liberty which the BosarAirrs defended under the armour of Imperial despotism. That the French PRESIDENT dilates at such length upon the financial embarrassments of the country is only an additional testimony that he has read the history of that country correctly. He has seen that the cause of her successive Revolutions has been the financial involvement of France, a financial involvement tottering down at intervals to the brink of national bankruptcy. From the time when the portfolio of finance was intrusted successively to TURGOT, to CALONNE, and to NECRER, down to its passage through the hands of GARNIER PAGES, of GOUDCHAUX, and of PASSY, deficit—deficit—deficit— has been the difficulty of France. Hence the PRESIDENT insists so pertinaciously and ear nestly that the conquest of that paramount difficulty must be the first and foremost of all the achieve ments of the Republican Government. Of the Republican Government 1 Let it be remembered when that difficulty shall at length be overcome— which with GOD'S blessing it will !—let it not be forgotten then that while the Republican Govern- ment shall have cut down and uprooted the Upas of France, that Upas grew up from a seedling to a vas' and umbrageous magnitude, shedding around its deadly and poisonous influence under the evil reign of Royalty ! History proclaims this as plainly as she proclaims that under the glorious sway of the Emperor NAPOLEON, in spite of the enormous expenditure required in the prosecution of his wars with all the nations of Europe, France was for twelve years in a more flourishing condition than she has been in for centuries. And yet while this legacy of debt to France from Royalty is n•)torious to every man in Christendom, the reactionists attribute as a crime to the last Revo- . _ lution that it entailed an expenditure of 10,600,0001. As well might we charge the statesmen of February with the bloody civil battle in June, that diabolical insurrection of anarchists to whom we might have cried out, in the language of HORACE, Quo, quo selesti ruitis? aut cur dexteris Aptarattr enses conditi?" Both the blood and the increase of debt which have 'ollowed the days of February, falling like coals of nextinguishable fire upon the head of the daa Ard exile at Claremont ! No ; if the Re public of France is to attain a state of pros. perity it will be in spite of the tremendous in• culno in the shape of deficit bequeathed to her by Royalty. This is felt, and felt acutely by the First PRESIDENT of the Republic ; and it is in consequence of this that his inaugurative Message is little else than an argument addressed to the national representatives in favour of some grand financial innovations, (RETURN 0?

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—Yesterday was published a series of further papers relative to the aid afforded to the distressed unions in the west of Ireland, in continua tion of the papers presented on the Bth of May last. These papers occupy a space of 50 pages. THE SUN, LOND:O'N, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 18'i9 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Message of the PRESIDENT is of course com mented on in all of them but is approved of by none save and except the Debats and the Constitutionnel, the former of which announces that it was M. Louis BONAPARTE himself who wrote this official docu ment. The National is as might have been expected greatly displeased With the Message. It says— "We expected little from the Message; and what have we found in it? Absolutely nothing. It is an ill-ar ranged, vague, and confused production, in which the moat important questions are carefully glossed over; it speaks at length on what every one knows, and is silent on those subjects on which every one was desirous that it should speak. It is a retrospective junction of shreds taken from the Moniteur as to the state of the customs and other statistics, and very clumsily sewn together, unus et alter assuitur pannus. Not one original idea, without ensemble, and without any plan for the future. Of great problems of government at home, what does it contain? Nothing. Of action abroad? Nothing, ex cept a few ambitious and empty words. In fact, it contains nothing, or next to nothing, re lative to Italy, Germany, Hungary, the Dunubian provinces; nothing of our alliances; nothing of the conduct which we are to observe :towards other powers. A speech from the throne could not have been better arranged. 01 all the reforms to be realised at home, nothing is said more than was done under the last regime. In a word it is a programme of weakness, and a programme of weakness is a prelnde to revolu tion." The Presse considers the Message as a very milk and-water affair, and accuses the PRESIDENT of having abandoned his old principles, and the Credit and the Siecle, the two journals which are generally considered to be under the control of M. Duraante, are even more severe upon the PRESIDENT than is the National itself. The Credit, in allusion to the language of the Message on the subject of Rome, which it stigmatises as wilfully ambiguous, and to the rumours which were yesterday rife in Paris, that the PRESIDENT, acting under the influence of M. DE FALLOUT, had given orders to OUDINOT to attack Rome at once in violation of the armistice, says— " We broadly affirm that the Minister, or that the Cabinet who would give such an order without consult ing the Assembly, and who would dare to compromise the honour, the fortune, and the blood of France with out the authorisation of the representatives of the people—who should rashly excite the passions of the country and m Europe, and light the flame of civil and foreign war, we declare that a Minister, or a CLbi net, so imprudent, so audacious, and so false would de serve to be at once impeached and tried with the utmost severity." The Message as published in the Moniteur differs from that published in the other papers in a most essential point. In speaking of the resistance offered to General OUDINOT by the Romans, the Message as published in the Moniteur says—" This un ex p ec t e d struggle, without making any change in the final aim of our enterprise, has paralysed our beneficent intentions, and rendered abortive the efforts of our negotiations." The message as published in the other journals, has, after the words " beneficent intentions," the following passage : " Completely altered the state of the question, so that now it is only in Rome that it can be resolved in a manner consistent with the honour of France." This latter version was the one originally laid on the table of the Assembly, but the PRESIDENT subsequently altered it as it appeared to explain somewhat too clearly his in tentious with regard to Rome. The interpellations which were to have been addressed to the Government on Thursday on the subject of foreign affairs, have been postponed to Monday, in consequence of the illness of M. LEDRU ROLLIN. It was said that the Government had yesterday received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing that General OUDINOT had commenced his attack on Rome on the 2d, and that at the time the dispatch was sent off he was in pos session of the whole Trasteven quarter of the city, including the Vatican and St. Peter's, and that he was negotiating with the Consti tuent Assembly for the surrender of the remaining portions of the city. The French admit that they lost 150 men killed in this attack, which it appears was commenced by General OUDINOT, in .di rect violation of the treaty entered into by M. LES SEPS with the Roman Republic, which, it will be seen, was in direct uniformity with the resolution of the 7th May of the National Assembly. The following is a copy of the treaty signed by M. de LESSEPS, and repudiated by General OUDINOT : " Art. 1. The support of France is insured to the po pulation of the Roman States; they consider the French army as a friendly army which comes to assist in the defence of their territory. " Art. 2. In accordance with the Roman Government, and without mixing in the administration of the country, the French army will take its exterior cantunmeuts which are convenient, at the same time, for the defence of the country, and tor the salubrity of the troops. " Art. 3. The French Republic guarantees against all foreign invasion the territory occupied by its troops. " Arr. 4. It is understood that toe present arrange ment must be submitted to the ratification of the French Republic. Art. 5. In any case, the effects of this treaty cannot cease till 15 days after the official communication of the non ratification. " Done in double at Rome, and at the head -quarters of the French army, the 31st of May, eight P. 31. (Signed) " C. ARMELLINL A. SAM. G. MAZZINL " Ferdinand de Lesseps, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic in Mission." General OUDINOT addressed the following letter to the Triumvirs : " Messieurs le Triumvirs,—l have the honour of making known t o y ou t h at I accepted for my part the ultimatum which was transmitted to you on the 29th of this month by M. de Lesseps. To my great astonishment, M. Lesseps brings me, on his return from Rome, a sort of Convention in com • plete opposition with the spirit and base of the ultimatum. I am convinced that in signing it, M. de Lesseps has ex ceeded his powers. " The instructions I have received formally interdict me from associating myself with this last act. I con sider it as non avenue ; and it is my duty to declare this to you without delay. OUDINOT DE REGGIO, the General Commanding in-Chief the Expeditionary Corps of the Mediter ranean." The General, at the same time, sent the following letter to M. LESSEPS : " Monsirur le Ministre Plenipotentiaire,—You have, since the 17th of this month, paralysed all the move ments of the corps under my command. " You demanded of me that the truce, promised ver bally by you to the Roman troops, should be extended until an answer had been received to the dispatches you had forwarded to our Government. Although I consi dered such a delay as very prejudicial to my military operations, I nevertheless consented, in order to avoid the appearance of any difference of opinion existing be tween us. Since that period the Roman troops have been moving about wherever they thought it their interest so to do. I have, on the contrary, confined my operations within the part of the country having Civita Vecchia as its basis. You, on the 29th, proposed an ultimatum, the terms of which I accepted, although certain of its stipu lations did not give me entire satisfaction. "During the day you wrote me from Rome, that in every probability that ultimatum would be accepted that very evening ; and that, contrary to what I ex pected, you had signed conventions with the Roman Republic to which you hoped I would also affix my signature. " These conventions are in formal opposition to the instructions which I have received. I also believe them to be contrary to the wishes of my Government ; I nat only shall not give my assent to them, but I shall regard them as null and void, and I have declared as much to the Roman authorities. When the Government has sig nified its reply to the dispatches forwarded to it I shall scrupulously obey its instructions ; but in the mean time I regret to say that it will be impossible for me to act any more in concert with you. (Signed) " OUDINOT." M. DE LESSEPS is so disgusted with the manner in which he has been bamboozled by the French Cabinet in this affair, that he has retired altogether from diplomatic life. Marshal BUGEAUD has had a relapse of cholera, and is again in extreme danger. The following notice from the Board of Health at the Prefecture of Police has been posted up : " Since the sadden appearance of the unusual heats the choleric epidemic, which was sensibly decreasing, has resumed a new intensity. This increase, however, has not the gravity attributed to it by the public. In c• nsequenco of the reigning heat, there are hygienic precautions already recomme n d e d , w hi ch ought to be re gularly folloyyed. It cannot b e too often repeated that, ia a great majority of cases, the cholera is preceded by a derangement of the bowels, whi c h i t would be impru dent to neglect, and for which the advice of a physician urin h g ou the l gr e ea s t oberl, beats, should be immediately taken.

This measure, purely of precaution, will immediately afford the population all the medical aid that can be re quired. "Paris, June 6." " The Prefect of Police, REEILLOT. 'We read in the Union Medicale of yesterday : " May cold baths be taken durin g the cholera? Su c h is the question which should be daily addressed to our brothers of the faculty, and which has frequently been Idilressird to us during the last few days. We shall say only that cold baths are not forbidden; but we know (hat several of our brethren, whose opinion is of autho rity, participate in our view of this matter, and do not hesitate, not only not to prevent the use of bathing in , he river, but even prescribe it as a preservative.

The province of Rhenish Hesse is occupied by Prussian troops. Troops belonging to Electoral Hesse, Grand Ducal Hesse, Nassau, and Mecklenourg, have marched against Mannheim and Heidelberg.

A corps of i 6,000 infantry, 7,000 cavalry, and 96 field-pieces, which debouched by Cracow, is con centrating near Tardanow, on the Skawa (one of the passes into Hungary from Gallicia). A corps of 40,000 men, of which 6,000 are cavalry, with 104 field-pieces, have advanced by Brody and Lemberg, upun the Carpa thian passes, lead ing t o K as h au an d E per i es . Neither of the two last-mentioned corps had, up to the latest accounts, penetrated into Hungary. Their advances, consisting of Cussacks, are pushed up to the passes, with orders to avoid partial encounters. In the course of this week the second, third, and fourth corps will follow; thus making a total of 160,000 men, with 320 field-pieces, ex clusivw of tr:e grand rest rves and communi cating detachment s , i n t e nded to act either in combination with the Austrian army, or indepen dently upon the right flank of the Hungarians. A corps d'acmee, of from forty to fifty thousand men, is advanc ing upon Transylvania, sad will thus prevent Bern from assisting the main body of Hungarians on the right bank of the Theiss. Tnis operation will enable Puchner to manoeuvre in the direction of Te m( swar. The Ist Russian army corps is concen trated round Kalisch, watching the Prussian-Posen frontier ; whilst the corps of grenadiers, commanded by the Grand Duke Michel, is steadily advancirg upon Warsaw. The guards, under the Czarowitch, have left Petersburgh, and are moving down in the direction of the frontier. The total force put in movement, and destined to take an immediate share in the operations, may be calculated at 200,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, and upwards of 450 held pieces. The grand potht of concentration is, and will be, War saw, where immense depots and nctsgaz nes of am mu,:.ition and military stares of all kinds are collected, and bill be daily augmented. Similar dep ots are being formed at Cracow and at Ternow. The half-ruined palace of Kasitair the Great, about three miles distant from Cracow, is converted into a powder magazine, where enormous quantities of powder, projectiles, and cartridges have air ady arrived. The churches and convents of the vicinityere likewi se converted i nto ma gazines for canimissaria; stares, of which immense quantities, such as flour, rye, oats, and biscuit, arrive hourly, either by rail or ordinary land car r i age . I t i s calculated that the daily arrivals exceed 7,000 cwt. Magazines to an extent exceeding all or di nary b e li ef ; and such only as Russia can bring together, will be esta blished at Cracow. The hospital preparations are upon the same immense scale.. The gr eat nunner i es of Swier cj les and Wyzkle with the Carmelite and Franciscan monasteries, have been converted int o h osp i ta l s ; while officersthe i are si te, for actively h te reception of f rom 2,000 engaged in pro v idi ng every possible u blere to 3,000 sick or wounded. Hospitals are also preparing in all the great Gallic= towns. The 2d corps d'arme (28,000 men) will pass by Cracow to - morrow or next cay. The corps march in masses, and either bivouac or occupy contiguous cantonments. Nothing is decided as to the exact period when the Russian corps w il l make their simultaneous entry into Hung ary . Thi s opera tion cannot commence until the whole of the concentra tions have been effected, the reserves arrived at th e i r destination, and the magazines complete, especially those of the artillery, reckoned at a minimum of 500 rounds per gun. When those operations commence, they will take place simultaneously by Hradisch, Jablunka, and Jardanow on the right; by Seypush.- Neumarkt and Dukba on the c en t re; and by the passes into Transylvania on the left. B ut so strictly secret are all plans and projects maintained, that the Russian Generals themselves receive sealed orders not extending beyond two or three days' operations. The whole of the corps are admirably equipped, and in the most effective state for field duty. The infantry, sun burnt soldier-like looking men, are all good- s i ze d, an d perfectly, though somewhat heavily, clothed and armed. The Prussian helmet has been adopted. The artillery is remarkably for its efficiency and rapid manoeuvring. This force, as well as the cavalry, is be a utif u lly h orse d, and in a state of discipline and martial steadi ness not to be surpassed. The twelve-pounder batteries, drawn by eight horses, move with the celerity of the ordinary sixes. In short, the whole of the troops, horse and foot, may be taken as military models, and afford striking proofs of the talents of the Minister of War, Prince Czernichef, for military organi zation. The Russian troops appear to have progressed a century since the close of the last war. Nothing can exceed the perfection and regularity of the discipline, or the soldierlike appearance of the men even when offduty. With few exceptions they are old soldiers, accustomed to long marches,: to carry heavy loads, and to a diet at which, perhaps, delicate stomachs might feel squeamish. Their clothing is excellent and well fitted, and their large great coats most useful, though perhaps cumber some. The greater part, however, are still armed with flint-lock muskets. The formations are nearly as fol lows: —An army corps consist of l 2 regimentsof two bat talion (each of 1,000 men), 36 squadrons (150 sabres each), 12 batteri es (8 guns eac h) , a b atta li on o f rifles, a battalion of sappers, and a pontoon train; torming a total of 26,000 infantry, 5,000 sabres, and about 2,01)0 artil lery, or a grand total of from 32,000 to 33,000 men. The reserves are composed of the 3d and 4th battalion of each infantry, and the sth and 6th squadron of each cavalry regiment. The troops carry with them three days' biscuit er meal in their havresacks, and four more days follow i n th e rear. The l atter i s replenished, so as to keep up the full amount of the first as fast as it is consumed. Taking the whole as a grand military force, it cannot be surpassed for efficiency, readiness, and independent utility. The honour of having established this efficiently must be divided between Prince C . zer nichef and the Emp eror. The mus t p e rfect eordiaity exists between the Russian and Austrian soldiers of all ranks, from high to low. There is not a word of truth in the reports circulated of engagements between the Russians and Hungarians. Up to a recent day such encounters have been impossible, as the respective ad vanced guards have not come in sight of each other, unless it may have been a few patrols of Cossacks, or dered to feel the ground." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—At the sitting of the Cham ber of Representative; held yesterday, the Minister of the Interior presented a Bill for granting an extra ordinary lean to the department of the Interior, in order to facilitate the national works. This proj ec t gave rise t o a l ong discussion, and the Minister bein g called upon to sp ec if y the objects to which this sum should be assigned, gave in the following state ment : 1. Encouragement to manufactures and to assist commerce, 200,000 f. 2. Agricultural improvemcnts and national colo nisation, 3 50,000 f. 3. Works of public health, 150,000 f. 4. Vicinal roads, 170,000 f. 5. Encouragement to literary ulgn and artisS 100,0001. 6. Subsidies to the communes tor the relief of the poor, 30,000 f. _ _ The first article of this project of law occupied the Chamber this day. The central section has granted only 400,000 f., and 100,000 f. additional for the agri cultural roads. The KING and QUEEN, accompanied by two Aides de-Camp, have visited the Duchess of Baden at the British Hotel. In the evening there was a grand Court dinner, at which the Prince and Princess of Saxe Cuburg Kohary, the Duchess of Baden, and her eldest son, the H,redi!ary Grand Duke, and a great number of the Nobility were present.

QUEEN'S BENCH. -(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE BAPTIST 3IISSIONARY SOCIETY. This $Na an appeal from au order of Quarter Sessions, at the instance of the Baptist Missionary Society, re specting the rating of their house in Moorgate-street. It was an appeal against the payment of sewer and other 'rates, for which the Quarter Sessions had held it liable, on the ground that it was a charitable institu tion, and ought, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment relating to such institutions, to be free from any such imposts. The COURT this morning affirmed the decision of the court below. The institution did not come within the category of those excepted from the payment of rates. Decision affirmed. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Dennis Healy, charged with assisting in the escape of Hickey, who stabbed the recruit M‘Macarthy, in Ox ford-street, on Thursday, was again brought up before Mr. Jardine. A man named Daniel Cleary, who saw the whole of the fight, and took WCarthy away, and another Irish man, who was potman in the public-house where the row commenced, were examined as to their previous statements to the police-constable respecting the pri soner's having changed his clothes with Hickey; but they both denied all knowledge of the change, and fur ther swore that they did not know of any acquaintance between Hickey and the prisoner. The MAGISTRATE was surprised that of so many wit nesses who knew the facts he could not find one to ten the truth in so serious a case ; but they should not obtain their end, and he would detain the prisoner in custody. Policeman E 99, who took Healy into custody, swore that he saw him go info a public-house in New Oxford street, followed by a great crowd of people. He went into the house in two or three minutes, and seeing the prisoner in a changed dress, surrounded by a mob of people, he took him to the ti tation.h,ius e, upon the sus picion that something unusual was the matter. On the way he I ,, arnek4 that Hickey had stabbed a man, and that Healy gave him his clothes to facilitate his escape. None of those who said so came forward. A sergeant msjor of the 13tngal Artillery in which M•Carthy was enlisted, stated that he was still in a dungen : us slate. _ _ Ttie iopector of pace hoped to establish the charge if further time were given, and also to find Hickey.—The prisoner was again remanded. RAIL WA Y RE T URNS RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail w•ays for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year: ITALY. The Monitore Romano of the 29th, states that Ge neral GARIBALDI, after having reconnoitred the Neapolitan frontier as far as the Rocca d'Arce, and obtained the certainty that the enemy was not to be met with, has entered the Roman States again. Commissary STABiNI, in a proclamation to the inha bitants of the Province of Campagna, announces that a sufficient force shall remain in the province to protect it. The POPE, it is said, will leave Gaeta, and accom pany the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to Florence from whence he will proceed to Bologna, where he will establish himself under the protection of Austria. IZ Risorgimento, of Turin, of the 4'h, says, news was received at Florance on the Ist, that after two days' hard fighting Ancona had surrendered to the Austrians. The 112i1an Gazette of the 3d, however, though alluding to Ancona, makes no mention of its having surrendered. The Concordia of Turin, of the 4th inst., calls on the Piedmontese Government immediately to summon the Parliament. Piedmont (it says) is in danger. Great events are about to occur in Europe. A struggle between opposing principles is imminent. France is on the side of liberty—Austria on that of despotism. Sardinia must attach herself to one or the other. Let Parliament, then, be immediately convoked. The Minister of Foreign Affairs at Turin has officially contradicted the news given by the Opinione, that Austria had demanded that certain fortresses on the French territory, and even those of Genoa, should be delivered up to her. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, 3,000 to 4,000 being taken on speculation. The market was quieter, but holders were firm. The Share Market was firm, but without alteration in prices. The payment of duties and other imposts into the ac count of the National Exchequer at the Bank of Eng land, still occasions not only an increase of public deposits, but a decrease of private balances. It acts likewise upon the note circulation, which finds no com pensation from an extension of loans on other securities, A comparison between the return of the Bank of England liabilities and assets for the week to the 2d inst. and the previous statement gives the following results:— Notes Issued ... ••• ... 27,553,565 Increase ... „, 53,430 ••• ••• .3,103,586 ••• ••• 48,016 ... 5,640,619 • 269,764 ... 9,707,778 47,222 1,075,985 •• 34.347 No alteration 9,824,829 12,487 Notes ... ... 9,192 220 Increase ... 161.285 Bullion ... 14,441,977 Increase ... • 44,811 Active Circulation ... 18,361,345 Decrease ... • 107.855 The negotiation of bills of exchange on the principal Continental cities was effected yesterday afternoon on rather higher terms for paper on Antwerp, Paris, and Trieste, but Hamburgh was lower.

Silve bars—Rotterdam, 11 580 ounces ; Belgium, 53,000 ounces ; Copenhagen, 63,000 Ounces. Gold coin —Mauritius, 305 ounces; and specie to Mauritius, 4751. From the Continent there is no particular change ad vised in the state of the money markets, but generally they were rather fiat. The English Funds have been much flatter again to day, owing to the bombardment of Rome. Consuls have ranged from 911 to 911, being now quoted about 911 Exchequer -bills are 455. to 48s. premium.

ANN'S SOCIETY.-- Yesterday the annual congregation of the boys educated in the Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society, for the maintenance, clothing, and education of the children of those " once in prosperity, orphans or not, of all nations," was held in the b , 13 school-rocm of the institution, at Streatham, the Bishop of Norwich in the chair. Up wards of two hundred visitors, chiefly ladies, attended. Lord Robert Grosvenor, and other influential indivi duals, were also present. The Right Rev. Chairman, at considerable length, addressed the meeting upon the excellence of the institution, and the blessings of educa tion, which he was most happy to see so universally extending, and which he hoped would be still more sup ported by the Government and the country at large, without reference to sectarian limitation, or any religious prejudice whatever. His Lordship then proceeded to dispense the several prizes awarded to those youths who had been educated in the school, and who, up to the pre sent time, had maintained their characters for industry, honesty, and perseverance in their several callings. Forty-four of these parties received prizes, each of whom were most paternally addressed by Prelate. she Right Rev. IRISH HUMANITT.—We have heard of several in stances during the week of the most cruel and hard hearted conduct on the part of the Irish in this town towards their own people and relations—instances we could not credit were we not assured of them by persons of undoubted veracity. In a house in Mary Ann-street, a lodging-house keeper turned out to his back yard a niec of his, with whom she lodged, and allowed her to perish in the place. He very coolly went to the relieving officer to 'get the body buried. Another old woman, in Yacht.ll's court, was put into a coal. hole, where she suf fered the ag.nies of cholera without help, until the surgeon accidentally rescued her. A female, complaie. ing that her husband was ill of cholera, asked relief of a surgeon in Crockherbtown. She was given some mede cine and 3d. to purchase mustard to poultice her hus band's feet. The relieving offi.2er called in a couple of hours afterwards, and found that the wretch had not given the medicine to her husband, and had spent the money before she reached home. Another wife drank 3s. worth of brandy, which had been ordered for the useof her husband, after he had died.—The Principality. LITERATURE. MACPHAIES _EDINBURGH JOURNAL. The current number of Macphail's Journal ia unquestionably the best that has yet come under our observation. The careful analysis of Macaulay.s Hi-tory is brought to a conclusion ; and the contri butions open with an admirable paper on the " Ca lamities of Genius." From this article we quote the following most truthful and excellent remarks about the absurd fable respecting Galileo's imprisonment in the dougeons of the I nqu i s i t i on . Th e scorn with which this lying fiction is confuted by the Journal is not the less entitled to consideration seeing that the organ is Protestant:— " The popular history of the fortunes of Galileo is one great muss of falsehood, but it serves a purpose, and will, to the tnd of time, keep its ground. Whenever any quack comes forward to bespeak public sympathy with the monstrosities of phrenology or mesmerism, he begins his discourse with the fabulous tale of Galileo's dungeon, in order to warn the world against the crime of persecuting new doctrines. The dungeon has no place in authentic history, and all the annoyance that Galileo received he appears to have owed to his own temper, which delighted in the excitement of a little perst cation. The restraint placed upon him by his friends and admirers was confinement to palaces and gardens of his own choosing, with wines of his own se lection, and the company and honour of the great. The doctrine of the motion of the earth was, before his day, taught by the mild and amiable Copernicus, with the ar probation of many of the clergy. But Galileo did not seek to disarm, but studiously courted hostility. Some accounts bear, that Galileo in his old age was poor, but, this p.verty is undoubtedly spoken of comparatively with the general splendour in which he had lived, as it is certain that he left property behind him. Most men of genius would be glad to pass through the world with as little real ground of complaint against it as Galileo had; it was his own blame that he had any complaint. In this nineteenth century, should any philosopher pro pose a doctrine equally startling to the present as the doctrine which Galileo proclaimed was to his age, we would advise him, if he wish to avoid rather more serious persecution than Galileo endured, to cultivate the Christian temper and prudence of Copernicus rather than indulge in the proud combativeness of Galileo." The lecture upon "Shakspere," by Mr. George Gilfillan, is like the rest of his compositions, an elo quent eccentricity—filled with many absurd and t•eautiful ideas. He says of the mighty poet, very: finely, that he is among us " like an unseen ghost; exercising an extraordinary power over our thoughts, language, imaginations, tempers, tastes, and manners. He calls him in a sudden b urs t o f homage 6 , the eighth wonder of the world." lie exclaims from the fullness of his admiration—" That Shakspere is the greatest genius the world ever saw is ac knowledged now by all sane men,"—and "that Shakspere is out of all sight and measure the finest artist that ever constructed a poem or drama, is a less general and yet a growing belief." Speak ing of the dramatic productions of Shaks pere, the lecturer says, " Their ve ry f au lt s are needed to prove them human, otherwise their excel lences would have classed them with the divine." Of other comic writers he says with a ridiculous em phasis of derision—" How long they used to sit hatching some chosen conceit; and what a cackling they made when it had ehipt the shell." " Why Bardolph's nose," he exclaims, "eclipses all the dra matic characters that have succeeded !" In several parts there are some very felicitous expressions, as where Gulliver is called " the Day Book of a Fiend" and Timon " the magnificent outbreak of an injured angel ;" or as where it is said that Shakspere spoke intermittently of himself in "the escapes of his Sonnets and the masquerade of his Plays ;" or as, where talking of the Elizabethan age, Spenser, Raleigh, Bacon, and Shakspere are termed "its rich residuum of genius; again, as where Macbeth is called " not a tragedy but A collection of tragedies," where the Tempest is said " to rise before us as the New World to the eye of Colura' bus," or where in fine Hamlet is grandly called ,‘ the Apocalypse of the writings of Shakspere." But the noblest panegyric—one of the noblest panegyrics we ever remember to have heard pronounced on Shaks pore, and we remember well, we cherish the remem• brance of all that has been said in his praise by Schlegel, and Johnson, and Emerson, and Hazlitt, and Mrs. Jameson,—is the remark with which Mr. Gilfillan closes his lecture—a remark in which he con jectures that this earth " may be known in other parts of the universe as SHAKSPEEE'S WORLD 1" Cordially, that is to say from the core of our hearts, we com mend the following advice to those who cavil at Shakspere as an immoral writer ; and let them re member that the advice comes from a clergyman? " Let those," says the Rev. George Gilfillan, let, those who prate of Shaksp e r e ' s i m p ur ity, fir s t of all read him candidly ; secondly, read, if they can, Mas:, singer, or Beaumont and Fletcher ; and thirdly, i f they have Bowdler's contemptible Family Shakspere. fling it into the fire, and take back the unmutilated copy to their bookshelves and their bosoms." The advice is worth taking. Besides the contributions already mentioned there is an entertaining review Of Mr. Layard's Discoveries in Nineveh. THE BRITISH POLITICAL, COMMER CIAL, ECCLESIASTICAL, AND _HIS TORICAL GAZETTEER, Travelling Road book, and County Atlas. We are happy to see the steady progression of tbis comprehensive work; we have before us the 6th part fully sustaining the excellence of its predecessors. It contains a well designed and beautifully executed map of North Wales, its number of county and borough representatives in the Imperial Parliament , the population and amount of assessed taxes in each shire. This number is further embellished with an exquisite engraving, the joint production of Messrs• Burrell and Ashley, of the Han well Viaduct (Great Western Railway). The proprietors appear deter mined that neither labour, industry, nor expense should be spared in carrying out their useful and ex' tensive undertaking, and we trust they will receive public support commensurate with their great exer tions. As a specimen of the minute and accurate information it contains, we present our readers with a short extract from the account of the ancient and interesting city of BANGOR. Carnarvon—a city and parish in the hundred of Uwch gorfoi, Union of Bangor and Beaumaris, North Wales, 2474 miles from London (coach road 245), nine from Carnarvon, North-Western Railway through Chester to station, from Derby to station 1194 miles. Money or ders issued here; London letters delivered seven A. 14./ post closes seven P.M. The city stands at the foot of steep rock, in a narrow and fertile vale, near the mouth of the river Ogwen, at the upcer entrance of the Menai Straits. It is called Bangor the Great. Its name trans; lated means either ' white choir,' or high choir, to distinguish the city from " Bangor-is-y- coe d," or Bangor.below-the-wood.' It was formerly defended by a strong castle, built by Hugh Earl of Chester, in the time of William Rufus. The cathedral was founded es early as A.D. 525, by St. Daniel. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times during the intestine comm ot i o ns o f the Anglo-Saxon dynasty. The members of the Ch a pter are the bishop, dean, archdeacon, treasurer, and two pre bendaries, who have endowments: there are a preceptor, chancellor, and three canons unendowed, two vicars choral, organist, lay clerks with the chorister' , long ne 4o B' n yn is h a: e . r otn r hu o t seswelmahsnaeatrdrrkeeaeetown penuedsneconsists rh i ah e el e f , P fr r leiv i tehe. c se i architecturalPe school;a.ipalace,alyn ant o hd f e Cal vinistic e e O t a n fs ad b ne e a ll an i l a ena h r vinistic Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Independents , and the Roman Catholics, all have chapels here.

" The principal trade of Bangor is the exportation of large slates from the quarries of Llandegai to port Pen rhyn en a tramway. There is also considerable steam communication with Liverpool during nine months of the year. There is a good fishery in the Straits. Market' day, Friday.

Our limited space has not allowed us to do justice to this graphic sketch by giving it in extenso, but We trust suf fi cient has been given to con ve y some notion of the immense labour and expense attending the col lection of information so extensive and varied in rela tion to each particular hamlet, town, and city in the kingdom. THE COLLEGE ATLAS'. A handsome volume has recently been published by Mr. Collins, of Paternoster-row—containing B°t only twenty-nine beautiful engraved maps of different countries, and continents, and archipelagoes, but com prising also an alphabetical index of the latitudes and longitudes of no less than 25,000 places. We have never seen any work more justly entitled to the nan ) of an Atlas for Schools, Colleges, and Families. It gives, moreover, among other masses of information , the heights of the mountains, the length of the rivers , and the exte n t o f th e waterfalls ; besides which, in each of the maps, " all the railways in operation and in progress are inserted." The whole is produced ill a form compact, solid, and durable. THE STRAND UNtort.—Yesterday morning an extraordinary meeting of the guardians of the Strand Union was held to take into consideration the propriety of purchasing Mr. Drouett's establishment, known as th e pest• house at Tooting. The chairmbn, Mr. Mostly, al l taking the chair, ex pl a i ne d t h e reason o f the meeting being called at such a time. Mr. Hewes then pro posed. " That the report of a committee that had been appointed be adopted, and that 3,500/. be offered Mr. Drouett for his establishment;" which was seconded by Mr. Wood. A lengthy and animated discussion ensued, and the board ded—for the motion, 14; against if! 8; the 8 being the guardians returned by the p a rish 01 St.'Anne's, Soho.
