After the most deliberate preparation the promoters of Reaction are beginning at last to throw off their masquerade of subserviency to Republicanism. Ru mours of a Ministerial modification, so remarkable as to be tantamount to a declaration in favour of the monarchical principle, are whispered, awl that, too, w ith very audible di.tinctness, about the Parisian circles. A coup detat is said to be on the very brink of demonstration. Nor can we be surprised that such are the anticipations of the sincere but mo derate friends of democracy when ws consider the direct encouragement recently received from different quarters by the Government of ODILON BAEROT, the Government of interregnum, the Government in tended by the reactionnaires to be the warming- pan of Restoration. Foremost among these encourage ments is the military success' of OCTDINOT. Rome having been occupied by the expeditionary army under his command—the Cabinet of Louis Naro- LEON has become at once and permanently identified with the cause of the suppressors of ultra-democracy; and the restoration of the Sovereign PONTIFF, we may be sure, is only viewed by his advisers as the antecedent to a movement of a somewhat similar character in the French metropolis. Simultaneously with the warlike encouragemint obtained from the Pontifical dominions there is the electioneering encouragement afforded to the secret enemies of the movement of February by the late supplementary selection of representatives to the Legislative As sembly. In the vast majority of instances those elections have proved not merely i nimical to the cause of the Extreme or Communistic Republicans, but directly advantageous to the interests of their arch antagonists, the Monarchical-Conservatives. It is true that M. DE LAMARTINE has been chosen through the urn of universal suffrage not only by the electors of Loiret but also by those of Saone-et-Loire—yet we cannot but view that double return of the Founder of the French Republic, that most illustrious and patriotic of all the champions of Democracy, that great man whose reputation is as unsullied as his genius is resplendent, we cannot but view the double return of LAMARTINE just at this particular crisis as rather indicative of re morse to himself personally, than of any return of allegiance to the sublime system of administration inaugurated by his magnanimous deeds and by his superb masterpieces of eloquence. A sentiment more positive than that of mere sus picion begins perforce to penetrate the intellects of every reflective observer. The thought jars upon the apprehension of every lover of Gallic liberty, that there was a mournful and profound truth in that solemn warning addressed to the Madmen of the Mountain, by EUGENE CAVAIGNAC now some time since—that warning voice which he raised against the infuriated ultras, exclaiming—" If ever Freedom be ost to France, it will be through your exagge rations!' Events are proving every day, more a:A more, the accuracy of that me morable declaration. And unless some miracle THE SUN, of patriotism redeem the country from the appalling perils by which it is being rapidly surrounded, the posterity of 35,000,000 will curse the day when the light first dawned upon the eyes of a PROUDEION and a BAc, of a PYAT and a LAGRANGE, of a LE ROUX and a BARGES, of a TUBER and a BLANQUI. But for such men as these, with their foul and dis astrous doctrines, with their vicious and contami nating audacity, with their extravagant and imprac ticable propositions—Republicanism would at this moment be more, if possible, in the ascendant than it was in the spring of 1848 ; and the intriguing enemies of democracy would never have dared to raise their heads from the lurking holes and cellars of concealment to which they had escaped on the first explosion of the Revolution. Now, how ever, the demagogues and false prophets of the Moun• tain have strangled the beneficent power of the true friends of freedom in France, the Moderate Repub licans ; and they have done this by scaring a large portion of the multitude to the supposed shelter of reaction, through the dread of their evil supremacy, and the hideous colour of their aspirations. That we are more than justified in these lugubrious opinions may be readily proved by one or two most significant circumstances. The disbandment of the Army of the Alps ! indi cates sufficiently well that the present Administrators of France are by no means solicitous to offer any di rect obstacle to the advancing strength and increasing influence of the AUTOCRAT. The recent dispatch of Gen. DE LAMORICIERE, on a secret mission as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of St. Petersburgb, is of itself sufficiently sig nificant. The movements latterly observable among the dy• nastic refugees whether at Ems or Claremont, al Hastings or Coblentz, are again not unworthy o observation. The apparent recognition of the Republic by NICHOLAS, and a variety of other equally remarkable occurrences all coincide in affording some colour of reason to the hints and inuendoes thrown out by the different journals of Paris. One of these journals boldly puts forward the alternative of a Return to Monarchy, or a Retention of Republicanism. Another insinuates that the time has at length arrived for the upholders of the former policy to take the intiativr. Another has gone still further, and has explicitly declared that the formation of a new Cabinet will very speedily be announced through the official medium of the Moniteur—a Cabinet in which the arch•supporters of the monarchical creed will occupy the mcst conspicuous positions—where the President ship of the Council (without portfolio) will be en trusted to M. MoLE ; where M. THIERS will be Minister of the Interior; M. DE Fannoux, Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. DE MONTALEMBEUT, Minister of Instruction ; Ger,. RULHIERES, Minister of War ; and Admiral CECILE, Minister of Marine. How far the assertion may be with or without foundation can be only dimly and indis'inctly imagined. Were the appointments veritably made and officially pub lished, they would only be the mtans to an end, the beginning of a conclusion, the initial of a daring movement which could only terminate in the annihi lation of the conspirators, or in the proclamation before the great door of the cathedral church of Notre Dame by the heralds and trumpeters of " The Most High, Mighty, and Puissant Prince NAPOLEON 111., Emperor of the French." Then the compact with Russia would have to be completed—and time might show that the dream of NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER might be realised by their successors—that the Treaty of Tilsit, after the lapse of forty years, might be re sumed as the basis of a new compact—that conti nental Europe might be shared between the two Emperors at the mutual sacrifice of Austria and Turkey—the second city of imperial France being ' Rome—the second city of imperial Russia being Constantinople. Yet, before all this can be accomplished, thirty millions of Frenchmen have to be trodden down into submission. A great nation which has been once endowed with the perfect freedom afforied by the ballot and universal suffrage can no longer be cajoled into obedience to a new despotism. It must be conquered by the musket and the howitzer, by the sword and the bayonet. Let the Legitimists remember this as a political truth, that—Even the white banner would have to pass through such oceans of blood before it could tri umph, that in the end a Bed Flag would be found waving over the Tuileries. In consequence of the sudden demise of JAMES PATTISON, Ric!, one of the Members for the metro polis, another vacancy occurs in the repre sentation of the city of London. Although the intelligence of the vacancy has only been received within the last few hours, we understand that a very large and most influential portion of the electors have already appended their signatures to the following requisition. Party feel ing for once has been entirely overlooked in consideration of the probity, the ability, and the many other noble and admirable qualities which have already secured to the Right Hon. Sir JAMES DUKE, the first magistrate of the first city in the world, the esteem and respect of his fellow-citizens. The following i 3 the requi!ition : " London, July 16, 1849. "Impressed with the opinion that the personal cha racter and commercial experience of the Right Hon• Sir James Duke, the Lord Mayor of the City of London, combined with his business habits, and his long ac quaintance with public affairs as a Member of the House of Commons, eminently qualify him for the representa tion of the various interests of this City in Parliament. ; We, the undersigned electors, do hereby request hij Lordship to allow himself to be put in nomination to fill the vacancy occasioned by the demise of our late worthy representative, James Pattison, Esq." Electors, of all classes of society, have already, (luring the course of the past forenoon, eagerly signed the foregoing document, as indicative of their regard for the LORD Maxon, and of their appreciation of his eminent qualities, as a high civic functionary, as a brothencitizen, as a man perfectly familiarized with mercantile affairs, and as one who has acquired con siderable experience as a Member of the House of Commons. London could not have a better representative. Among the many measures relating to Ireland which have been recently brought before Parliament, there are few calculated to produce more valuable results than the Judgments. Bill, which was read a second time, and passed through Committee pro forma on Friday evening. It is, in fact, a necessary supplement to the Incumbered Estates Bill. There would be but little advantage in getting rid of an embarrassed proprietary, and.infusing new vitality into the land by the introduction of capital, if the causes that contributed in a great degree to those embarrassments were still suffered to exist, and to produce a new series of incumbrances as injurious to the national prosperity as those now in operation. Every possible precaution should be taken to prevent the recurrence of similar evils, and the first and most obvious proceeding is to remove the extraordinary facilities at present.' afforded for charging and incum bering lands and premises for small amounts. The law of judgments in Ireland differs very ma terially from that in force in this country. Here, a judgment is never regarded as a permanent security on which be safely invested, and w hi c h may be e t n al may asacharge upon real estat es d ur i ng retained successive generations. The property of the party against whom a judgment has been obtained is not in any degree affected thereby, until ex of the sheriff, ecutionhasbeen actually issued and placed in the hands or a bill filed in Chancery, to make his real estates liable to the payment of the debt. Neither can the judgment be transferred or assigned over ; it can only be enforced by the party by whom it was originally obtained. If a capitalist desired to invest money on the security of land, a mortgage was obtained in which the nature of the contract and the terms of redemption were fully set forth, and under which the lands speci fied in the mortgage-deed were alone responsible. But in Ireland a judgment constituted the very best security that could be obtained. All the real and per sonal property of the Conuzor, or person confess ing the judgment, not only in pot session, but to which he might become entitled at any future period, became subject thereto from the moment of its entry. It could be readily assigned, and all the rights belonging thereto transferred to the assignee, at a trifling expense; and in case of default kreceiver could aT once be obtained on a petition to A court of equity.: possessed, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1849. therefore, many advantages not belonging to a mort gage ; and, in fact, no mortgages or other charges on land were ever accepted, unless accompanied by a col lateral judgment or judgments. It may easily be conceived what opportunities and inducements were afforded under such a system to create a number of small incumbrances. The Irish gentry are, and have been, proverbially a thoughtless and imprudent race, ever ready to incur new liabi lities and to obtain loans for present exigencies, on any terms, however disadvantageous or ruinous to their future prospects. The facilities for obtaining small sums were not suffered to remain dormant. Persons who would rather undergo some trifling in convenience than submit to the delays and expenses of raising money by a formal mortgage of their pro perty, were quite ready to "confess a judgment." There is, we believe, but little doubt that fully one half of the incumbrances affecting Irish estates are ascribable to the state of the law with respect to judgments, and that the vast extent of property now under the control and management of receivers of the Court of Chancery—the worst pos sible landlords—is owing to the same cause. Under such circumstances, when one-sixth of the entire soil of Ireland is in the hands of receivers— when more than 2,000,000/. sterling is annually drawn from land, no portion which can be applied to the improvement thereof, however obvious the advantages of the expenditure—no doubt can exist as to the correctness of the opinion of the distinguished Judge who now so ably presides ever the Rolls' Court in Ireland, " that it is a matter of public policy to render judgments unpopular securities for money," and that " the present law operates most injuriously on the interests of an embarrassed and improvident people.'' A great and comprehensive change is essential to the welfare and prosperity of the nation. But when the enormous amount of money, and the magnitude of the interests involved in, the question are taken into consideration, it will also be manifest that the utmost caution must be observed in dealing with existing interests. It would clearly ba unjust to lessen the value of the securities on the faith of which so many persons have advanced their money. There will, therefore, be no inter ference with judgments now in force, which will be exempted from the operation of the present Bill, and the greater portion of which, it is to he hoped, will be liquidated under the provisions of the Incumbered Estates Act; but all future judgments will be affected, o as to prevent the possibility of the nation relapsing into its present condition, if it should happily be ex tricated from difficulties by judicious legislation. The first and most obviJus precAution is to prevent the assignment of judgments henceforward. When judgments are only valid in the han'ls of the Conuzee, or party by whom it was originally recovered, or of his or her personal representatives, there will no longer be a temptation to keep those securities so long alive. We shall not, as at present, find judgments sub sisting that had been obtained against a former pos sessor of the property some eighty or a hundred years previously, and which constitute formidable diffi culties in the way of making clear and unobjectionable ti tles to the lands ; if brought into the markets for sale when no longer assignable, the great in,lucement to resort thereto will be removed. The practice of raising money by confessing judgments will receive a heavy blow and great discouragement, and a salutary diffi culty will be thrown in the way of creating new incumbrances affecting Irish property. The second point to be attained by the present 13111 is to prevent judgments from attaching on, or becoming charges upon lends, until they have been actually placed in the hands of the sheriff for recovery This salutary enactment will get rid of one of the chief difficulties in the way of making out a title to estates, and a cause of great and unnecessary expense in the transfer of landed property. It will also ren• der judgments unavailing as permanent securities, and remove the dangerous facility that now exists for creating new incumbrances. The last, and by no means the least important provision of this excellent measure, will be to take away the power of appointing receivers for sums less than 1501. Under the present system, a receiver can be appointei to enforce pay ment of any judgment, however small, and in many instances the costs of the proceedings greatly exceed the amount of the original debt. A fearful instrument of oppression is thus placed in the hands of creditors, who are able, by means thereof, to extort usurious interest from their unfortunate debtors, as a premium fur forbearance. It is also notorious that many unprincipled attorneys speculate in small judgments, which they purchase, and take assign ments of, in order to make heavy costs in addition to the sum actually due. We confess that we would greatly prefer that the power of appointing receivers for judgment debts should be altogether taken away, as the Solicitor-General proposed, and that thus there should be no inducement whatsoever to advance money on that species of security. A difference of opinion, however, existed on that subject, and as it was exceedingly desirable that there should be perfect unanimity, so as to ensure the passing of the Bill during the present session, the Solicitor-General re linquished his own opinion, and consented to the limitation of the power in cases where at least 1501. should be due on foot of the judgment. This will, at least, prevent a considerable proportion of the cases of oppression where the poorer class of debtors were entirely ruined under the present law. On the whole, the measure will effect a great improvement in the existing system, and will be productive of the most beneficial results in the sister kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The ilioniteur of Saturday has the following : " The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fol lowir, report to the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " Monsieur lo President,—The deplorable events of the 13th June last have raised serious dissension in the 7th Legion of the National Guard of Paris. A great number of officers have considered it their duty to resign their ranks, in the idea that it was impossible that the Legion should not bo dissolved and reorganized. The Government, in fact, considers that measure as indispens able, which is called for by common accord by the Ge neral Commandant-in-Chief of the National Guard, the Yreffet of the Seine, and the Mayor of the 7th Arron dissement. An organic law on the National Guard will besides shortly be presented to the Legislative Assem bly; the 7th Legion may therefore in a short time be reconstituted under the provisions of that new law. I have, in consequence, the honour to beg that you wil, approve of the annexed decree. Accept, &e., (Signed) "J. DUFAXRE." . . . The PRESIDENT of the Republic has, on the above report, ordered the dissolution of the 7th Legion of the National Guard of Paris. The Committee appointed to examine the projet de loi relating to the press, has determined to report in favour of it. The Journal des Debats gives the following compa• rative statistics of the Paris elections in May and in July : " The results of the elections of July have just been seen. In comparing the figures at present with those of May 13 and 14, we find— May 13. July 8. Electors inscribed ... 378,043 372,800 Voters 281.140 234,588 Suffrages reckoned ... 275,642 233,901 Thus 46,532 electors, who had taken part in the vote of May, abstained in July. The votes obtained in May by the first eleven candidates selected in the list of the Union had given a total of 1,304,596 ; in July the eleve n candidates of that list had 1,315,873 votes, or 11,277 more than in May. This is a smaller number of voters. The list of the Union obtained more votes in July than it had done in May. In May the first candidate elected from the list of the Union, M. Lucien Murat, had obtained 134,825 votes, whereas M. Ledru • Rollin, the first candidate chosen from the socialist list, sad 130,070. In July M. Lanjuinais, the first candi date elected from the Union, obtained 127,556 votes; Goudchaux, the first candidate of the socialist list, had only 103,602 votes , an d i s not e l ecte d. We have said that the total of the votes obtained at present by the eleven candidates of the Electoral Union was 1,315,873; the eleven candidates of the socialist list who obtained :tin, greatest number of votes only furnish a total of 991,014 votes. These two amounts give an average of about 120,000 votes for each candidate of the Union, ard a little more than 90,000 for each socialist candidate." It is reported that in consequence of serious dis. turbances which have taken place at the Polytechnic School, that celebrated institution is dissolved. One of the students, who was accused by his fellow studen:s of having been the principal cause of the arrest of M. LEON LABAUNE, who was last year the head of the Ateliers Nationaux, has ever since been sent to Coventry" by his companions, and subjected to all manner of indignities. This affair has given rise to such serious discontent and disturbance, that the Government has been obliged to take the matter up, and ultimately to dissolve the school. The mea sure is a harsh one, but it will not be of long endu' ranee. It will shortly be re-organized, merely leaving I it the names of the principal rioters. Ti - e Sulut Public of Lyons gives the following account of a dreadful inundation which had just taken I place at St. Etienne and the neighbourhood : "On the evening of the 10th, a violent thunder storm, succeeded by a water-spout, suddenly inundated the village of La Republic. In ten, minutes a stream, called the Furens, which passed through St. Etienne, was swollen into a perfect torrent, carrying before it everything which impeded its progress. The streets of St.' Etienne were completely inundated, and a great quantity of property of various kinds swept away by the torrent. Several persons lost their lives. At La Ba douiliase a house was washed down, aril a whole family buried beneath its ruins. The torrent was so rapid, that although not more than four feet deep, no one could stand against it. In the quarter of St. Louis, a fire broke out in consequence of the bursting of a gas pipe; it burnt, however, but a short time, as it was extinguished by the rush of water. A ca'S in the Place de de Ville, was completely washed away. A pyramid erected on the north side of Mont Pilat, in commemoration of the birth of the King of Rome, was struck by the lightning and considerably damaged. The dyeing establishments at Valbenoite have been seriously injured and much property destroyed. The inundation lasted for about an hour. Ten bodies have already bsen found, but it is expscted that the loss of lives will amount to thirty. More than 1,000 familie s have suffered more or less loss.

Our soldiers were well received by the Roman population, who were wearied with the regime of terror waich weighed on them. The troops occapied all the positions which command the town, and no fear with respect to pubic tranquiliity was entertained. At nine o'clock in the morning of the sth they replaced the Roman garrison of the Fort St. Angelo. The national guard and caribineers were doing the service of patrols in conjunction with our troops of infantry and cavalry. Garibaldi went towards Velletri, but it was believed that he would march towards the Abruzzi. About 600 convicts to whom he gave liberty form part of his corps. General Regnault de St. Jean d'Aneely commands the French force sent after him. Mazzini was not with him, as was at first stated, but had taken reruge, with General Avezzena and Prince Canino (Bonaparte.) on board the English steamer, the Bulldog, which has convoyed them to Malta. When the Frerch entered Rome there only remained 10,000 or 12,000 organized troops." Rumours sere yesterday prevalent in Paris of a most c3craorelinary character. It is known that in August the Legislative Assembly will adjourn for two months, and during this interregnum a bold attempt, it is said, is to be made to destroy the Republic. The Siecle thus describes the intrigues which are said to be carrying on for this purpose : " A legislative interregnum has been at all times fa vourr.ble for minitturial intrigues. We do not yet know what great pr+ct is in view for the adjournment about to be proposed, but we b, lieve that a complete change of Ministers, long looked forward to, is ut length re cognised to be inevitable. Meetings, communications, and negotiations have been so numerous, and matters are matured to diet point, that we should not be surprised to read in the Moniteur this very day the following ap pointments:— " M. Mo'efi, President of the Council, without portfolio. "M. Thiers, Minister of the Interior. " M. de Falloux, Foreign Affairs. " M. Benoit d'Azy, Finances. " M. Napoleon Darn, Public Works. " M. Baroche, Justice. " M. de Montalembert, Public Instruction. " M. Rulhieres, War. " Admiral Cecile, Marine. " M. de Morny, Commune. " This we admit to be a curious list, but really we think it better that the principal actors who have been so long behind the curtain should come at once upon the stage." General CHANGARNIER is, it is said, opposed to this combination, and the PRESIDENT of the Republic himself is said not altogether to favour it. The Legi timists and parli pretre are likewise waxing exceed ingly bold. The Corsaire and the Assemblee Nationale openly advocate a restoration of monarchy, and the old Monarchists are everywhere being ap pointed to offices in the provinces. Among them are several partisans of Louis PHILIPPE, and several whose monarchical opinions were of so ultra a character, that under the ORLEANS regime they were considered as unfit for office. The Liberte, in a leading article headed "Republic or Monarchy," thus exposes the designs of the Monarchists : " The question is now laid down, as it were, of itself; there can be no longer any illusion on the subject. Be fore the last elections it was thought that the enemies of the Republic would have patience to wait. It was thought that, after all their professions in favour of the honest and moderate Republic, they would have had the decency not to bring such a question on the lapis, how ever, it might have lurked in their feelings. Six months ago we proved beyond contradiction that the adherents of the late dynasty had been thrust into every place, and were in full possession of power, to enable them with greater facility to destroy the Republic, and while they were pretending to be its defenders." And having proceeded in this strain, it appends to its leader the following postscript : " Large suers of money had for some time been ex pending in the restoration of the domain of Chambord, and there is great activity employed to render it worthy of the habitation cola prince. Does this restoration in dicate one of another sort?" The Assembled Nationale has the following, which will certainly not tend to allay the fears of the Re publicans : "Many correspondents of both English and French journals occupy themselves with certain interviews and negotiations, undertaken with the view of solving some points of the hiehest policy attached to the governmen tal situation el France. Hence conjectures, reproaches, and insults. Sad avowal this on the part of the Repub licans ! If their principles be so powerful, why trouble themselves on the point ? We believe all conjectures premature. In the prevent state of France every act of conciliation and good understanding ought to be ap plauded. Bat while we approve of what is good and just, there are, we must say, other matters of a more pressing character. The revolutionary spirit that common enemy —must be repressed and put down. Every work is composed of parts. One niu,t precede the other, and why trouble ourselves about the future when we have universal suffrage to repair, sancion, and legalise ? What we want to-day is complete victory over anarchy, with the consecration of the following pr i nc iple France, legally repre sen t e d, can d o w h a t she pleases, for she is sovereign.' " • Should any attempt at a restoration be made, a terrific civil war would be the consequence. The Republican party is strong even in the army and it would resist to the last ; no attempt to change the form of government in France could be accomplished without terrific bloodshed. The POPE has sent the following letter in reply to an address presented to him from the municipal council of Marseilles : " Dear Sons,—Salutation and Apostolic Benediction, —The piety and de'erence which you profess for us and for the apostolic see, in concert with the illustrious French nation, have manifested themselves in a parti cular manner under the deplorable circumstances which removed us from Rome and subjected us to the most severe tribulations. We, therefore, accept with grati tude the duty which you wish to perform towards us at this time, and we thank you for consoling our suffer ings and our afflictions by the expression of the religious feeling which animates you in such a high degree. Confiding in the Almighty, who wounds and heals, who, while permitting these adversities, would not shake the faith, but only put it to the proof, we have never ceased day and night humbly to implore his Divine assistance ; but we fear that he will one day punish by some public calamity the disorders of the city of Rome, and the injuries done to the Church. It is for that, dear sons, that you should persevere more than ever in praying to the Lord to turn his indignation from the Cheistian world, a n d t o es tablish peace and tran quillity. And we give you tenderly, and horn the bottom of our heart, to you and to your fellow-citizens the apostolic benediction, as a presage of the Divine protection, and as testimony of the love which we bear towards you.

The Corn marlAet is decidedly heavier this morning, owing to the settlement of the Danish question. In Iris' Birmingham Gazette we are advised to-day upon the state of the Iron market as follows: " During the late quarterly meetings, the apprehen sions we last noticed of a further define in prices have un fortunately been realised, and the ncmieal rates con cluded upon at the preliminary deliberations of the iron. masters, at Handsworth, have been altogether disre garded. Still no accession of activity has ensued; but orders that would have been given out, if anything like firmness had b een ex hibi te d , were kept back, and in manyinstances pending negotiations were broken off abruptly, under a feel ng little short of absolute panic. In pig iron a still further reduction was submitted to than in manufactured. Hold ers an d markets seemed anxious to realise , if possible, on almost any terms, and offers were pressed without finding purchasers. A few specu• latire lots changed hands at prices varying from 50s. to 603. per ton. Throughout the week gloom and dissatis faction have prevailed, and it is supposed that the aeare• gate amount of business t ransacte d h as not beers so small upon any similar occasion since Midsummer, 1843. It would be difficult to quote the absolute prices, as each maker seems to consult only his own neces sities ; but we believa that merchant-bars and nailrods have been sold as low as 5/., and pigs at 455. per ton. The present circumstances afford certainly a most discouraging prospect, and the business that otherwise might be done to a small extent, is prevented by feelings of distrust as to the future; these, we hope, a few days' reflection will dis sipate, and trade will assume a more settled ttsp:et. A nermanent return to remunerative prices cannot be expected during the present summer or autumn; but there existed no unavoidable necessity for the precipi tate haste with whieh the present low figures have been adopted. One firm has already succumbed to the pressure of events. They have been known to have been struggling under difficulties for some time, with the hope of retrieving their liabilities; but the long succession of downward movements, and the now ruin ous position of the trede, have at once blighted every endeavour, and rendered further effort useless. Three furnaces are thus put cut of work, and their production, as well as the employment they afforded, withdrawn. Many others are being blowu out, as the only alternative to escape a similar wreck." This is certainly a gloomy picture; hut we share with the writer the hope that matters may speedily improve. The directors of the Union Bank of Australia this day declared the usual dividend of six per cent. per annum, with a bonus of ss. per share. The report was eatisfac tory, and highly cheering as to the state of the colony. The steamer has arrived with hits accounts from the United States and Canada. In the Stock market at New York up to the 3d inst. there was no material variation in the value of Stocks, the market not being so activ'. Prices had reached a comparatively high point, and this operated as a check, the European demand having at the same time fallen off. There had been a brisk demand for sterling Exchange for remittance, on account of the semi annual interest paid on Government Stock, and it was expected that this would continue, and that a further rise would occur, the current rates being 108 i to 1094. The value of imports into New York was, daring the week preceding the date of our present advices, 1,278,274 dollars, being greater than in any correspond ing period for three years previously, with the exception of 1347. Nearly one-half of the aggregate im portation of the wet k was in dry goods, and for some time an increase is expected in the imports, owing to the fall trade. Many parties conceive that they will be large, and we only hope they may not be overdone.

This is, of course, the reasoning of inte rested parties. Concerning the Californian gold product, there is no falling ufF in the actual amount obtainable ; but the symptoms of anarchy and the severe labour required at, the "digging" render the chances of an excessive supply more remote. From Canada we have dates of June 30. In the Montreal market, best brands Flour was 20s. 9d.; for superfine Wheat, 4s. 61; for Upper Canada and Ame rican freight to Liverpool, 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d.

The colonization of Sonora, said to be a rich gold district, was contemplated by the Mexican Government. The roads of Vera Cruz were perfectly safe again. _ Accounts of October 4th, from Fort Simpson, in the Hudson's Bay territory, state that eighteen men of the expedition in search of Sir J.

THE HAGTJD JULY 13.—8 y reason of the war bet - aeen Germany and Denmark, our relations with Holland are entirely interrupted. The numerous parties who are interested therein have made a great many remonstrances, and have demonstrated that vessels bearing the postal dispatches ought to be ex empt from the blockades; but all their protestations have been useless; the required permission has not been obtained for our vessels. The French, on the other hand, have been more successful, and the Havre steamers—even those which are not in regular service—have obtained permission to enter Ham burgh. The Minister of Justice has signified his inten tion of resigning his portfolio, in consequence of ill health. The Second Chamber of the States General has not favourably entertained the project of law rela tive to the domains of the Crown, and demands that the Chamber shall have the administration of them. This demand the Government has refused, but in order to arrive at an amicable arrangement it has so far moderated the primary project that the costs of the administration shall be raised from the domains, the administration itself he regulated by a loyal de cree, and the administration be bound to make an annual report to the Minister of Finance. AMSTERDAM, JULY 13.--THE BOURSE.—lnland funds were firm to-day, but there was not much ani mation in business generally. Spanish and Portu guese were again offered at a depreciation. French funds were steady. No business of importance in any other stock.—Dutch Papers July 13. TURKEY. A letter in the Allgeineine Zeitung, dated June 20, says :7 The presence at Constantinople of the Hungarian agent, Baron Splenyi, as also that of other M,gyar and Polish emissarie4, has given rise to lively explanations between the Porte and the Austrian Internuncio. Count Simmer openly intimated to Ali Pacha that the moment he ascertained that the Ministers of the Porte were in communication with those emissaries he should cease all relations with the Divan. This declaration seems to have taken effect, the Porte having nwifiecl to Baron Splenyi, who had secretly procured the seal of an Hun garian Envoy, that he was immediately to leave Con btantinople. The same journal says—, " The Sultan has sanctioned the decision of the Council which refuses to grant a passage via Servia to the Austrian troops. This decision has been commu nicatt d to the representatives of the two Powers. " The Porte protests against the entry of the Russian troops of Moldavia and Wallachia into Transylvania. It declares that it will oppose,by force of arms, the return of those troops to its own territory. " The armaments continue. A reserve corps has been formed in Bosnia, and the Turks are prepared for every contingency. " Eight thousand Russian troops had disembarked at Ackermann, comin.- from Sebastopol to r e pl ace t h e corps of General Luders, b which has quitted Wallachia for Cronstadt," ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 6th. The Concordia says no Roman will speak to the French, and if a Frenchman enter a cafe it is immediately deserted. Hatred of their invaders is painted on every face. The French are obliged to be on their guard, many having already been found dead. On the 6th PELLEGRINI and AvEzzoto arrived by steamer at Leghorn, on their way to France. MAzzINI, it is said, intends coming to England; and it was reported that GARIBALDI was anxious to go to America. SAFI is not with the other Triumvirs. OUDINOT has caused all the Roman troops to take the oath of submission to the French authorities. Ge deral LEVAILLANT is appointed provisional commander of Rome, with Colonel PoNTERO as second in com mand. The state of siege is strictly enforced. The Roman Deputy, CEaNuscui, has been arrested by the French authorities. The arrest took place at the time that CERNUSCHI was walking arm-in.arm with M. BONAPARTE, the cousin of the President of the French Republic. The Opiniwic states that the American Consul has left Rome in consequence of differences with the French authorities. Several of the French soldiers have been assassinated. Monsignor SAVELLT, the Pontifical Legate in the Legations. has published a decree, awarding one fourth part of the property of every person convicted of a political offence to the informer. This is one of the first fruits of the resto ration of the priests to power. DEATH OF JAMES PATTISON, ESQ•, obituary conveys the unexpected intelligence of the death of one of the City's Representatives in Parliament. Mr. Pattison, it appears, died at Molesey Grove, near Hampton Court, on Saturday last. The deceased gen. ileum, who was born in 1786, belonged to a family that has for generations held a very high commercial rank, and he himself was a Direet.ir of the Bank of England at his death, and had filled the honourable post of Governor. He represented the city of Lcndon in the Parliaments of 1835 and 1837, but was unsuccessful at the general election in 1841. He was, however, re (leered in 1843, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sir Matthew Wood, and again retained his position at the last general election in 1847. _ _ Mr. Horace Smith died at Tunbridge Wells on Thursday morning. He was a man of a correct taste and the most generous sympathies, a delightful writer both in verse and prose, a cheerful and wise companion, and a fast friend. No man bad a wider range of admir able and genial qualities ; and far beyond that private eirc'e, of which he was the great charm and ornament, his loss will be deeply felt. To those who had the ad • vantage of his friendship, it is irreparable. His health had given way during the last faw months, and the end was not unexpected. He was in his 70th year, but had preserved to the last his love fbr the enjoyments of youth, and took part in all honest mirth, with the simplicity and gaiety of a child. The disorder of which be died was ossification of the heart. IRISH DISTRESS. —THE MUNSTER. CONNAUGHT PLAN.—Nothing more powerfully shows how much it is within the means of the Irish landlords to alleviate the prevalent distress by careful and timely action, than the exertions made in the county of Cavan, by Mr. Henry Sargent, J.P., the agent to the Marquis of Headfort. The Cavan paper contains a long account of the working of Mr. Sargent's plan. He began in October last, by raising a voluntary rate in the division of Munster- Connaught. This emounted to 222 L, half contributed by the landlord, and half by the tenant. With this he employed the able-bodied men in drainage works, re ducing the wages a 3 the demand for agricultural labour incrmed. At the last Spring Assizes he prevailed on the poor-law guardians to contract for the repair of the roads, and on them he employs both men and Women, so as to avoid out-door relief. He Ina thus reduced the average weekly rates from 141. 7 8 . ad. to 21. 4s. 7d., being 11. Is. BJ. for out-door relief, and it 2s. ltd. for in-dcor relief. By the exertions of Mrs. Sargent, of Eighter, the women have further been em ployed in knitting and other useful works. The same syst, m has been edopted in Virginia, and the saving is I 11. wet kly. At the Cavan Ha-sizes, on the sth, it was extended to the divisions of Castleraghan and Termon.

JOINT STOCK BANKS. Union of Australia ...•• Union of Loudon HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, The opera of the Barbiere was repeated in Satur day, and Madame Sontag, as Rosins, excited a greater enthusiasm, if possible, than she did on Thursday. The " U na voce poco fa," was a perfect triumph, and excited a complete furore; for delicacy, for brilliancy, and mere especially for correctness of intonation, Sontag stands unrivalled ; so far as the compass of her voice goes, she is the most perfect yes alist that perhaps the world has ever seen. Rode's air in the second act also excited the most intense enthusiasm, the applause was rapturous with which that most marvellous second variation was greeted. We do not believe that any human voice is, or ever has been, capable of surpassing in flexibility, incorrectness of intonation and in brilliancy of exe cution, the voice of Madame Sontag in this most sparkling of musical gems —it was the acme of bril liant and florid vocalization. In the concerted music, also, she was most admirable ; the duets with Beletti and with Lablache were not only sung, but acted with great spirit ; and the concluding scena, in which Madame Sontag, Lablache, Beletti, and Garden'. all take part, was given in a manner in which, as a whole, it could not be riven on the s t age o f any lyric theatre in Europe—there was not a single weak part in it, and its performance elicited the most rap turous applause. Madame Sontag, in the Buena sera scene with Basilio, acted with a delightful naivete, with the least possible dash of lady like coquetry, which was perfectly charming ; and in toe trio Piano ! piano! with Gardoni a nd Beletti, the pure tones of her beautiful bird-like voice were heard to the greatest perfection. It is one of the great charms of Madame Sontag's style of acting that she infuses into every part she represents a lady like gracefulness, which, without weakening the force of the character, adds greatly to its interest. This is more particularly the case with the part of Rosins. The Rosina of Madame Sontag is lively, arch, taut soit pen coquette, yet ladylike withal. The liveliness, the archness, and the coquetry, are those of a high bred girl, of one who has a right to look forward to be a Countess. When Sontag acts the part we are not surprised at the desire of Count Almaviva to make Rosina his wife. Gardoni, who seems to have quite recovered from his recent indisposition, sang the music of Count Almaviva with great sweet ness and expression. Beletti, most spirited of Buffos, was full of gaiety and spirit as Figaro, and Lablache as Bartolo was the most superb of Doctors. Great praise is due to Ballo for his manner of conducting this opera, and to the orchestra for the effective wag in which they performed the music of this the most brilliant of the compositions of Rossini, and perhaps the only opera buffs in the world which depends as much upon the orchestra as upon the singers for its proper interpretation. Nothing could be better than the performance of the orchestra an Saturday evening, every nuance of the music was cor rectly appreciated, and the lights and shades beauti fully brought out. At the conclusion of each act Madame Sontag and the principal performers were called and greeted with enthusiastic applause and showers of bouquet s . W e d o not describe the crowd ing before the opening et* the doors, the crush at the opening, ncr the manner in which the theatre crammed to suffocation. Tout cela va sans dire. It was a Sontag night. LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS DAY•) LONDON, JULY 16.—Wind this day at noon light breeze and fine weather. - DEAL, JULY 15.—WEd — k.E.—Arrd. J. L. 11 7/ : thorn, New O r l eans .

Our letters received to-day frim .most parts of the United Kingdom, state that the Wheats aro making very rapid progress towards maturity. Spring Corn, hoW' ever, is much in want of rain. Advices iron% the Continent are to the eEeet that the price; of Wheat are steadily advancing in France, got' land, and Belgium. We have letters from New York to the 4th instant. Th© transactions in Flour for ship' went to England, were moderately extensive, at from 20s. to 225. 9d. per barrel. Scarcely any English grain aas received for our market last week , coastwise or by land carriage. Toe supply of Flour was small. The imports from abroad amounted to 12,402 quarters of Wheat, 3,825 ditto of Barley, 7,303 ditto of Oats, 2,591 ditto of Rye, 873 ditto of B2ans, 720 ditto of Peas, 4,834 ditto of Lin seed, 148 ditto of Rapeseed, 86 ditto of sundry seeds, 2.050 sacks and 5,004 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received fresh to UP this morning's market was larger than for many week; past, and of excellent quality : hence, the show of saw' pies of both red and white was good. The stated set' clement of the Danish question, and the consequent withdrawal of the blockade from the German corn uort , ., had considerable effect upon the minds of the buyers, whose attendance was tolerably tumerous• For some time after the opening of the market, so hag was the trade, that prices were almest nominal. Even: tually, the factor s gave way, and where sales of Englis h Wheat took place, the quotations ruled from 15 to, in sonic instances, 2s per quarter lower than those obtained on Monday last, and at which a total clearance was not effected. The quantity of foreign Wheat on show was not very extensive, but as the future prospect of the imports from he Baltic are now good from the cause above referred to, the importers were somewhat anxious sellers. The demand fur all kind s was i n a very inactive state, and prices gave way from those obtained on this day se'nnigM fully Is per quarter. Tie transactions for shipment coastwise were small, and floating cargoes could be had at Is per quarter less money. With Barley w e were very scantily supplied ; nevertheleis, the demand for that article fell off materially. In prices, how ever, we have no al . oration to notice. The sale for Malt, the supply of which was small, rule d heavy, at barely stationary prices. We were very scantily supplied with Oats. Good sound Corn moved off e t last week's currencies. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. The few English Beans on ( ffer sold freely at full prices. Foreign quali" tics were neglected. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal nominal. In Flour no charge tonke place. All kinds met a slow inquiry. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
