Considerable argument has arisen out of the asser tions made by Mr. COBDEN in reference to Russia, on the occasion of the first demonstration, at the London Tavern, in favour of the Hungarians. It will be remembered that in endeavouring to dissipate the extravagant fears entertained by many as to Russian domination, the Honourable Gentleman the representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire asserted that the wealth of that great despotism— presumed to be so immense as to be almost inex haustible—is wholly imaginary ; and that so far from being the possessors of a scarcely calculable amount of specie, the Government of St. Petersburgh find it impossible to carry on two campaigns without coming for a loan to the mercantile establishments of Western Europe. " Russia, possessed of inex haustible riches !" exclaimed Mr. CJBDEN, in a tone of scorn and derision, " I'll tell you what it has—it has an army cn paper without a soldier ; it has a navy without a sailor ; it has a military chest with• out a farthing." Were we to declare bluntly that the Honourable Gentleman, in speaking thus, only rushed from one extreme into another, we should not be very far from stating the truth. Yet while we avow that it is not less erroneous, and not less judi • cious to sneer at the force of the AUTOCRAT as insig nificant, than it is to dread it as irresistible, we cannot but confess that there is much truth contained in the exaggerations of the Member for the West Riding. His argument is, to our thinking, altogether un answerable when he pronounces the terror of Russian supremacy preposterous ; but we conceive that he is correct in so say ing—not because Russia is a country of attenuated powers and of inherent impoverishment, but because the influence of the grinding tyranny of the Czar; is so far malign as to negative the wealth of the country in regard to its vegetative strength and its mineral productiveness. To say that Russia is poor from the poverty of her soil, or from the absence of precious metals in the entrails of her mountains, is a fallacy; but it is equally a fal lacy to assert that the neglect of mining and of agri culture in a vast portion of her colcssal dominions is attributable to any other cause than that of the exe crable despotism of her Government. Upon this subject we obtain' considerable infor mation from a remarkable work published not long since from the pen of Count HENRY KRASINSKI. In that singular volume, in reference to the Cossacks of the Ukraine,* it is remarked by its author that the province of Polish Ukraine, known as Ukraina Polska, although abounding in everything calculated to render a country important for its com mercial transactions, is, nevertheless, nothing less than a waste of uncultured profusion. Count KRA, SINERI tells us of the countless herds of cattle popu lating the gigantic and fertile pasturiages; be tells us of the innumerable fih spawned season by season in the r i vers; he tells us that the land so abounds in tim ber, and grain, and vegetables, and blossoms, and fruit, that it was considered from time immemorial as " the garden and granary of the neighbouring pro vinces;" and he declares that the other products of the country are so abundant —the oil, the wax, the honey, the salpetre, the leather, the tobacco, and the salt that the Ukraine may be justly entitled to the figura tive character of a land flowing with milk and honey. Yet this land of milk and honey, this garden of blossoms) this orchard of fruitage, this granary and treasury of Eastern Europe, is so grievously weighed down by the incubus of despotism that its strength is enervated, its pomp degraded into penury, its army a dream, its navyafi von, its military chest a vacuum ! Why, only yesterday mhte a re resident from the interior of Russia .sthe commerci a l declares e inm c l olumns of a A3 e rostrationpr:at o Contemporary that such depreciated of the country,that the old currency has bee n in the proportion of 1 to 3 1 , or as 10 1 d. to 3e instead of 3 s. 4 i . ; b e y ond whic h it is indubitable i that the different provinces of the empire are ripe for a revolt against the AUTOCRAT. No one can have the hardihood to deny that NICHOLAS will find it impos sible, without a loan from the banking houses of London or Amsterdam, to commence a second cam paign against the Hungarians ; and scarcely any man in his senses will gainsay t he truth of the assertion, that in the event of his imperial army being defeated beyond the boundaries of his dominions, that defeat will lead inevitably to a tremendous revolution throughout his own territories. In testimony of the fact that notwithstanding the " Th© Cossacks of the Ukraine, &c., Bm, 8;c." By Cunt Lionry'Krasiaski. Bvo., pp. 312. London: Par tridge and Uakey. 1648. natural productiveness of the country obedient to the sway of NICHOLAS—say, for example, the province of Polish Ukraine—that empire is still incapable of independent action, in consequence of its pervading poverty, we will take the pictures drawn of the aspect of the country by one familiarly acquainted with its characteristics, Count HENRY KRASINSICI. According to that intelligent writer, the steppes, though of vast dimensions, and c'othed with prolific vegetation, are marked with the savage appearances of a primeval solitude. Over the enormous expanse the traveller occasionally sees flights of wild ducks or geese, or " cranes in triangular bodies, sending forth shrieks that re-echo in the deep silence around." Sometimes a solitary eagle floats on its expanded wings down the welkin ; sometimes a cloud of ravens darkens the air, or a pack of famished wolves " pursues with savage howling the flying steeds yoked to the car of the stranger." To impart an additional singularity to the spectacle, there are at intervals encountered troops of " A thousand horse, and none to ride!" such as those depicted by the vivid pencil of Lord Beams, in his " Mazeppa"—rushing past with as tounding velocity— .. With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils—never stretched by pain; Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flAils unscarred by spur or rod. A thousand horse—the wild, the free, Like waves that follow on the sea." Such is the scene revealed in these monotonous wil dernesses. " Not a house, not a tree for miles—not a spot of elevated ground meets the eye—except, indeed, large barrows containing the bones or dust of the myriads of victims of war or pestilence." Here it is that in the inns or caravansaries, scattered at im mense intervals over the Steppes (" oases in those great deserts"), travellers are robbed by the landlords, and cruelly murdered in cold blood by their ac complices. Of these ghastly assassinations, Count KRASINSEI gives one or two romantic and striking instances. His volume, indeed, is through out filled with entertaining p a u n li d tic a a u l it adds so that to the sobriety o f argumentsthentic anecdotes; the charm of literary fascination. Russia, from m Satisfied as we are, however, that t h e peculiar influences of her absolute Go vernment, is incapacitated from s u b j u g atin g the wealthier countries of Western Europe, with out first of all borrowing " the sinews of war" from the merchant princes of those very dominions—we are, nevertheless, equally convinced that the tendency of the policy of the Russian Em perors is towards the conquest of the European continent. In proof of this we may refer the observation of our readers to the celebrated Will" of PETER the GREAT to his suc cessors, a copy of which is published in another part of our impression. The descendants of Ro- MANOFF are there called upon to direct the energies of the Russian Government to the conquest of Europe ; and that appeal to their ambition has already led to the annihilation of Poland and to the present invasion of Hungary. England must pre vent the progress of this insidious movement, as much for the safety of the continental powers as from a feeling of allegiance to the cause of justice as per sonified in the cause of the heroic Hungarians. Although for the present Might has overcome Right in Sicily, although the King of NAPLES has by brute force again obtained possession of that Sicilian crown which he had previously forfeited by his violation of the solemn compact to observe the Sicilian constitution, entered into by his predecessor, CHARLES 111, and which constitutes the only right of the Bourbon Princes to the throne of Sicily, yet the Sicilians have nut therefore for feited one jot or tittle of their rights ; he reigns there by no compact, by no agreement, he reigns merely by the right of the strongest, and whensoever the Sicilians may be in a condition to throw off his yoke, they will be perfectly justified in so doing. They have throughout the whole of the late transactions been in their Right, and they will still continue to be in their Right, should they to-morrow expel from their island the Neapolitan usurper. It is, therefore, of importance that the gross misrepresentations of the obscurantist Tory aristocracy in this country, with regard to Sicilian affairs, should be corrected, in order that hereafter it may not be in the power of any advocate of the absolutist reign of terror to ap peal to them as authorities ; more especially is such correction necessary when the misrepresenter is one whose assertions may be supposed to carry weight from his previous connexion with Sicilian affairs. It is for this reason, and this reason only, that we are induced to notice that remarkable specimen of " antiquated im becility," the loose, rambling, inconsequential speech of Lord HETTESBURY, delivered in the House of Lords during the recent debate on foreign affairs. To suppose that age has produced its effect, to con sider the speech as the mere imbecile twaddle of a superannuated old man, is certainly the most chari table conclusion at which to arrive. Nevertheless it will not be amiss to analyse the speech and to show the incorrectness of the assertions which my Lord HEYTESBURY has thought proper to make, and the falsehood of the conclusions which he has in uendoed rather than distinctly drawn. And, in the first place, we must draw atten tion to one most remarkable omission of his Lordship. Throughout his speech he never once alludes to the old Sicilian constitution, which had subsisted for 700 years, and of which the constitution of 1812 was merely an alteration, and that this omis sion of all mention of the old constition was advisedly made, was made for the purpose of taking advantage of the ignorance of his audience, is evident, because if he had once alluded ,to the existence of this old constitution he would have destroyed his own argu ment. The main point of his argument was this, that from the moment the British troops were withdrawn from the island the responsibility of this country with regard to Sicily ceased—not so, however, thought my Lord CASTLEREAGH, not so thought in 1816 my Lord lIATTESBURY himself; for we find in a letter dated Foreign office, 6th September, 1816, and addressed by Lord CASTLEREAGH to W. A'CounT, Esq., the following passage :—" His Royal Highness (the PRINCE REGENT) would feel himself equally com pelled, however reluctantly, to interfere if he had the mortification to observe any attempt made to reduce the privileges of the Sicilian nation in such a degree as might expose the British Government to the re proach of having contributed to a change of system in Sicily, which had in the end impaired the freedom and happiness of its inhabitants as compared with what they formerly enjoyed." And in a letter dated Naples, sth Nov., 1816, written by W. A'CouaT, Esq., to Viscount CASTLEREAGH, we find that gentle man reporting that he had represented to the Minister of his Sicilian MAJESTY, as one of the cases which would render necessary an interference on the part of Great Britain in Sicilian affairs, " an attempt to reduce the privi leges of the Sicilian nation in such a degree as to expose Great Britain to the reproach of having con tributed to a change of system in Sicily which had impaired the freedom and happiness of its inhabitants, as compared with what they formerly enjoyed." Here we have the reason for the omission of all men tion of the old Sicilian constitution, an omission which cannot be accounted for on the loss of memory consequent on a state of " antiquated imbecility" merely ; nothing short of drivelling idiotcy can account for such a loss of memory as this. In speaking of the constitution of 1812, the Noble Lord says that " that constitution was merely a constitution on paper," and then he pros ceeds to assert that Lord W. BENTINCK was of opinion that it could not be maintained, unless the island were handed over to the British Government. If such were the case, it certainly is somewhat extraordinary that Lord W. BENTINCK should, in the House of Com mons, on the 21st June, 1821, have moved " an address to th e C rown, pray i ng his MAJESTYto inter fere to prevent the attempts which had been made by the Government of the Two Sicilies to reduce the privileges of the Sicilian nation in such a degree as may expose the British Government to the reproach of having contributed to a change of system in Sicily, which has impaired the freedom formerly enjoyed by its inhabitants," and that in the course of his speech, on bringing forward this motion, be should have. said that "the liberty required for the People of Sicily had been, he would contend, as•legally pledged and upon authority as legitimately sacred as that which bound the Governments of those Sovereigns, (the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance) themselves." We must be excused for preferring Lord W. Bust- TRICK'S exposition of his own opinions to the uncord roborated assertions of Lord HEYTESBURY as to what those opinions were. The discussion which took place in the House of Commons on the 21st of June, 1821, is also valuable, as enabling us further to test the accuracy of Lord HETTESBURY'S recollections with regard to those events in Sicily, in which he himself was concerned. It will be recollected that on the 20th of October, 1814, a memorandum was pub lished at Palermo, addressed to the Sicilian people, and signed W. A'Courrr, by which it is contended that Great Britain, by her Minister Plenipotentiary, guaranteed the constitution to. the Sicilian nation. In speaking of this memorandum in 1849, my Lord HETTESBURY says :—" Now, with respect to the part taken by the British Government in those trans actions, it had been assumed that something amount ing to a guarantee of the constitution had been given by this country. That assumption was founded upon a document which had been prepared by him, and whatever the merits or demerits of that document were, he was entirely responsible for them, for the Go vernment at home had had nothing to do with that document." Yet we find that on the 21st of June, 1821, the Marquis of Lon- DONDERRT, speaking of this very document, declares, not as Lord HEYTE:BURY asserts, that the Government at home had had nothing to do v, ith it, but that] " in 1814 Sir W. A'CouaT was authorised to explain to the people of Sicily the reasons which compelled Great Britain to withdraw her troops from the island ; and it was perfectly true that in the memorial which he presented on that occasion he expressed a hope, that whatever changes were made in the constitution should be worked out by means of the constitution." It is evidently whose memory with reliance on the testi mony impossible 0 f to a of such importance is rega rd to transactions placegentleman so exceedingly treacherous ; therefore we pass over his account of the removal of the QUEEN, who was banished, not for any matters connected with the constitution, but because she was engaged in a treasonable correspondence with MurtAT, to whom she had engaged to betray the English troops, and to whom she would have betrayed them had not the Sicilian peasantry risen en masse and expelled the French invaders, in spite of her orders ; we likewise pass over his lamentations on what* he absurdly calls the degradation of the KING, who had been de prived of his Government, it being well known that FERDINAND IV., 111., or 1., (for he in turn bore all these titles) of Naples, ranked lower in the intellectual scale than does even the ex-Emperor FERDINAND of Austria, and that he never governed, because he was absolutely incapable of governing; but we cannot permit to pass without observation what his Lordship says with regard to the general , doctrine of international guarantees. "I cannot con ceive," says my Lord HETTESBURY, " what in reference to these transactions is meant by the word guarantee, for I cannot under stand how any nation can guarantee the con stitution of another." Innocent Lord HEYTRS BURY ! But perhaps the Earl of ABERDEEN may chance to enlighten his Lordship. In the debate on the affairs of the River Plate, the Earl of ABERDEEN said, in justifying his own interference in the internal affairs of Monte Video, " he was at the Foreign office himself at the time (1828) when that state was created, and Lord PONSONBY acted under his instruc tions. No doubt there was no formal guarantee ; but it was the desire of the British Government that the future independence of that state should be re cognised, and from recent transactions we were bound in honour and common justice to see that its indepen dente was maintained." Now this, according to Lord HEYTESBURY'S version of Sicilian affairs is precisely the relation in which we stand with regard to Sicily. Lord HETTESBURY denies that there was any formal guarantee, but he says that " the Sicilian constitu tion of 1812 was drawn up under the directions of Lord W. BENTINCK j" and we learn from the speech of Lord W. BENTINCK himself, delivered in the House of Commons on the 21st June, 1821, that he had throughout acted under the instructions of the Marquis of WELLESLEY, the then Secretary of Stat. for Foreign Affairs ; therefore, according to the principle laid down by the Earl of ABERDEEN, in the case of Monte Video, although there may have been no formal guarantee, yet, " we were bound in honour and common justice to see that that con stitution was maintained." And, to quote the words of another great reactionary authority, "it cannot be deemed consistent with the honour of a great nation to evade the performance of a pledge, on the ground that it does not amount to what writers on international law would term a guarantee." It would appear, therefore, that so far from Lord PALMERSTON having gone too far in sup port of the Sicilian constitution, his Lordship did not go far enough, and that, on the principle of the Earl of ABERDEEN, he would have been perfectly justified in interfering by force of arms in its support TBE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Patric contains the following semi-official an nouncement :—" It was stated to-day at the As sembly that Marshal GERARD is to resume the func tions of Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, which he discharged at the revolution of February. In case the Marshal's state of health should not permit him to take the office, General ARRIGHI DE PADOUE, the oldest of the generals of division, will, it is said, be appointed." .fhe Moniteur declares that when the last accounts lift the West Indies, tranquillity had been restored . in Martinique, Guadaloupe, and their dependencies. The following order of the day has been posted in the four arrondissements of Paris : " Reports have been vaguely circulated that the 4th Legion was to be dissolved. The 4th Legion during the difficult days the Republic has passed through has never for a moment ceased to prove its devotion to the Con stitution, and its resolution to defend order with firm ness. There could, therefore, be no reason for such a measure. The Colonel, nevertheless, considered it to be his duty to assure himself whether these reports, wh"ch might cause injury to the service, or diminish the zeal of the National Gu ar d o f t h e 4th Legion, had any founda tion; and he is authorised to declare that there never was any intention of dissolving the corps to which he has the honour to belong. " Signed by the Colonel of the 4th Legion, Ramond de la Croisette." _ _ Several arre,ts of Socialist leaders have been made in Paris within the last few days. The Gazette de France has the following extraordi nary article:— •We are abused, notwithstsnding our excessive moderation. Well, we will at one expose the exact state of the situation. We are marching to Oileanism through the Empire. It is proposed to make the Presi dent Consul for ten years, and thus pr vide for the Go vernment until the Count of Paris shalt attain his ma jority. M. Thiers is the chief of this movement, and consequently the chief of the Royalists, who aid in this movement without knowing it." The Gazette de France is one of the most talented organs of the Legitimatist and parti-pretre party. The PRESIDENT continues his progress in the Western Departments ; at Angers he was received with shouts of " Vive la Republique !" The majority of those who were last year sent out by the Government to colonize Algeria have re turned to France. Two companies of the 25th Regiment have been stationed in the neighbourhood of Pontarlier, on the frontiers of Switzerland, to prevent the Baden re fugees from entering France. Several members of the Committe of Polish refugees have been ordered by the Ministry to quit France. These gentlemen have resided in France for many years, and have always cautiously abstained from mix ing themselves up with French:politics. This is admitted to be the case, even by the Ministers ; but the orders of the Emperor of Russia are imperative, and the Government of the cousin of the Duke of LEUCHTEN BERG dares not disobey. An agent from the lmaum of MUSCAT has arrived in Paris. The celebrated Father VENTURA landed at Mar seilles on Sunday from Rome. PARIS BOURSE, TUESDAY, JULY 31, Half-past 4.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. We are without any direct intelligence from the seat of war, but the Cologne Gazette mentions a rumour that Klausenberg had fallen into the hands of the Russians, a rumour which has been so often stated, and so often contradicted, that no credit can for the present, at least, be attached to it. The same journal states that the Austrians under NUGENT had, after an engagement which lasted several hours, taken Gross Kanischa, or more properly speaking the ruins of Gro-s Kaniicha, for seventy•two houses were burned by the Austrians during the engagement. FRANn.FORT. Archduke JOHN has announced his intention of returning to Frankfurt on the 26th of Anost. He is reported to have demanded that the fortress of Rastadt, which the Baden insurgents have just sur rendered to the Prussian troops, be placed at his dis posal, and the new Governor a, , pointed by himself, as sole representative of the "Central power." A letter from Frankfort, of the 27th of July, says that a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, is about to be concluded between Bavaria and Austria, and that if negotiations are not yet terminated, it is owing to the hope that Wurtemburg will consent to enter into the alliance against Prussian supremacy. BAVARIA. The Bavarian elections have terminated in general in favour of the reactionary party. The priests ex ercise great power in the rural districts of Bavaria. POLAND. The Emperor of RUSSIA, accompanied by Couni °awry, arrived at Warsaw on the 23d ult., from St Petersburg h. THE DANUBE PRINCIPALITIES. The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following State document (Sened) resp-cting the internal go vernment of the Danube Principalities, as agreed upon between the Sovereign and the Protecting Powers— namely, Turkey and Russia. It is dated 7 Dsche mastel Ahir, 1265 The Sened consists of seven articles. It is as follows : • " Their Imperial Highne;ses the Emperor and Auto crat of Russia, and the Emperor and Vadischah of the Unmans, animated by the same wish for the welfare of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and in fulfilment of their former promises to concede to these lands a separate constitution and other privi leges, have found in consequence of the recent dis turbances in these provinces, but more esr ecially in Wal lachia, that it is necessary to take in concert extraordinary and efficient measures to defend the rights and pri vileges conceded to them, as well against revolutionary and anarchical attempts, as also against the abuse of power which lames the action of the laws, and deprives the peaceful inhabitants of the benefits guaranteed to them by treaties concluded between Russia and the Porte. In consideration thereof the following has been decided upon between the two high powers:— " 1. In consequence of the exceptional circumstances occvioned by recent events, the nospodars Wallachia and Muldavia are in future to be appointed for the term of seven years, by his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, that the Government of the provinces may be thus entrusted to the most worthy and best reputed person. " 2. The organic law of the state (Staatsgrundgesetz) given to the principalities in 1831, is to remain in vigour until such alterations be made which time and experience may prove to be advisable, namely, with respect to the usual and extraordinary meetings of the Boyards, which are for the time being suspended, they having been more than once the cause of regretable conflicts, and open resistance to the laws. The high courts reserve to themselves the pr.per time for allowing them to be resumed. They are, meantime, to be replaced by a divan, or council, consisting of Boyards or high ecclesiastical function aries, as are most worthy of the public confidence. The chief duties of this divan will consist in fixing the taxes and examining the annual budget. "3. To introduce the requir..d ameliorations, and do away with the abuses which have insinuated themselves, two commissions of revision will be appointed to sit. the one at Bucharest, the ether at Jassy, to examine into the organic law, end propose the necessary alter ations. The labours of the se commissions will be sub mitted to the Ministry at Constantinople, which wilt discuss them in common with the Government of Sr. Petersburgh. After adoption by both GovernmentA, the alterations decided upon will be announced in the form of a hatti-scherif of his ➢lajesty and the Sultan. " 4. As the disturbances of last year have clearly de noonstrated that a military force is necessary to suppress immediately every attempt at insurrection, the tvi 0 Im perial I.jourts have resolve d, at the same time with a view to ?rotect the frontiers of the principalities from any attacks from without, to keep an army of 25,000 to 35,000 men in the same, until tranquillity is perfectly restored on the frontiers. When no more fears are entertained from without, 10,000 men will remain on either side until internal pence is guaranteed, and the labours of the revision of the constitution are terminal( d; the troops of the two powers will then evacuate the principalities, but remain close at hand to be ready to re-enter the re, should events occur to render such a step necessary. The national militia will also be re-organized and disciplined, so as to render it an efficient force capable of maintaining tranquillity. ' 5. During the joint occupation each Court will have an extraordinary commissary in the principalities, whose duty it will be to give counsel and advice to the flospo • darn in case they should discover abuses, or anything of a nature to endanger the public tranquillity. The in • structions given to those commissaries will emanate from the joint deliberation of the two Courts, defining their duties and the part they have to take in the affairs of the country. Both commissaries are to come to an un deratandiog respecting the election of the members of the commission for the r• vision of the organic law, and to send in a report to their respective Governments. "6. The duration of the present agreement is fixed at seven years, after the lapse of which the two high courts reserve to themselves, with regard to the state of the principalities may then be in, to take such further mea sures as they may deem necessary to procure durable welfare and peace to these provinces. "7. It is understood that the present act, which has beets called for by exceptional circumstances, and for a defined period only, will in no wise affect existing stipulations between the two courts respecting Moldavia and Wal lachia, or former treaties, no less than the special treaty of Adrianople, but the same remain all in full vigour and existence." The above has been officially acknowledged and adopted by the SULTAN. ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Ronne of the 22(1 ult. The civil Government is administered in the name of the POPE, but the French retain military possession of the city. The FOIE remains at Gaeta, and is the mere tool of the Cardinal Camarilla. Acting under their influence, he obstinately refuses to acet. de to the representations of the Ministers of the Catholic Powers, and insists upon being restored without making any concessions, and on being per mitted to revive the Inquisition, and to inaugurate a ign of reactionary terror by means of the scaffold, the rack, and the dungeon. It is said that GARIBALDI has escaped in disguise to Sicily. A spirit-stirring proclamation has been addressed to the Romans by MazziNi, in which he recommends them to endure with constancy and firmness the calamity of foreign intervention which smites them at present, and not to give way to discouragement. He calls upon the Municipalities to repeat with firm ness that they adhere voluntarily to the Republican form and to the abolition of the temporal power of the PorE, and that they consider every government il legal which has not been freely approved by the people. He says--" Let the cry be constantly heard, Down with the government of Priests! Free suffrage for ever!' All those who have sworn allegiance to the Republic should divest themselves of their functions when ever the Pontifical colours have been hoisted. A whole nation cannot be put in prison. The Roman Assembly is not di sso lved.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. HER MAJESTY S SPEECH. Parliament was this day prorogued by Commis. sion. The following is her Majesty's Speech MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We have it in command from her Majesty to inform you that the state of public business enables her to di-pence with your attendance in Parliament, and to close the present Session. Her Majesty has directed us to express her satisfaction with the zeal and assiduity with which you have discharged the laborious and anxious duties in the performance of which you have been occupied. Her hlajesty has given her assent to the im portant measure you have passed to amend the Navigation Laws, in full confidence that the enter prise, skill, and hardihood of her people will assure to them a full share of the commerce of the world, and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation. Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you that the friendly character of her relations with Foreign Powers affords her a just confidence in the continuance of peace. The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have been signed under the medi ation of her Majesty, and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner of a definitive and permanent treaty. Her Majesty's efforts will continue to be di rected to promote the restoration of peace in those parts of Europe in which it has been interrupted. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE or COMMONS, We are commanded by her Majesty to return . you her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service. The public expenditure has undergone con siderable reductions within the present year, and her Majesty will continue to apply a watchful economy in every branch of the public service. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to congra tulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Pur.j Aub. The exertions made by the Government of India and the valour displayed by the army in the. field, demand her Majesty's warmest acknowledgments. Her Majesty has observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the laws which has been manifested by her subjects during the period which has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed• her Parliament. It is the characteristic of our Constitution that it renders the maintenance of order compatible with the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty. The satisfaction with which her Majesty has viewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry, has been greatly alloyed by the con tinuance of severe distress in one part of the United Kingdom. Her Majesty has observed with pleasure your liberal exertions to mitigate the pressure of this calamity, and her Majesty commands us to thank you for your unremitting attention to measures calculated to improve the general condition of Ireland. It is her Mejesty's fervent hope that it may please the Almighty Disposer of events to favour the operation of those laws which have been sanctioned by Parliament, and to grant to her Irish people, as the reward of that patience and resignation with which they have borne their pro tracted sufferings, the blessings of an abundant harvest and of internal peace. STRAND THEATRE. Mark Lemon's new drama, entitled Hearts are Trumps, and which is so ably supported by Mrs. Stirling, is certainly the best thing that either author or artist has done since the production of Gwynneth Vaughan. It is intensely interesting, full of power ful situations, and one of the best built plays that has been produced for years. Thus runs the story :—Mr. Ruby (Mr. W. Farren), a professional blackleg, has an only daughter, Mary (Mrs. Stirling), whom he swings up in the country, as Miss Gray, and keeps her in entire ignorance of his real name and condition. Warmhearted, honourable, and virtuous, Mary Gray believes her father to be all that the most affec tionate of girls ever imagined the most indulgent of parents. His fr, quent absences from home are re gretted, but their cause is never suspected until on one eventful day, having dispatched her lover, Charles Wilmot (Mr. W. Porester) to London with a letter to her father, to ask his consent to her union, her privacy is intruded by Captain Wagstaffe (Mr. Leigh Murray ), the associate of Ruby in his gambling transactions, who having seen Mary, has fallen in love with her (if it be not a profanation to apply the term love to the sentiments of such a wretch), and having ascertained that she is the daughter of Ruby, and been refused her hand :by her father, denounces to the daughter that father and his odious occupation, and leaves her in a state bordering on madness. She determines at once to set out for London to see her tattier. In the meantime Wilmot has delivered his letter to the address of Gray, but the " neat crow quill hand " being recognised by his associates, as one the sight of which always makes old Ruby nervous, they determine to keep back the letter until the following morning. Ruby and Wagstaffe are busily engaged in plucking a p , geon, who is the identical Charles Wilmot, the hearer of the letter, when the letter itself, which has dropped from the pocket of one of the gamblers, is picked up by a servant, and handed to Ruby. He psruses it—recognises his daughter's lover in his victim, and. purposely loses all back to him. Wagstaffe accuses him of playing false, they attack each other, and Ruby is on the point of strangling Wagstaffe when Mary enters and dis covers her father engaged in his horrible occupation. This, scene is one of the most powerfully conceived and one of the most powerfully acted scenes in the whole range, of the drama—the father starts back and sinking into ayhair hides his face in his hands, and then in the agony of humiliation grovels at his daughter's feet and implores her forgiveness for the degradation he has inflicted on her. She is suffering the most acute agony at the discovery of her father's degrada tion, and shocked at his abject humiliation, rushes to him, and raising him from the ground, exclaiming, " Not there, father ! not there 1" presses the old man to her heart. At first she refuses to permit Wilmot to become her husband, but at length she consents, and Ruby quitting the life of a gambler, becomes again a happy father; while Wagstaffe, although full of remorse for his conduct to Mary, declares that the rattle of the dice-box, like that of the rattle-snake, fascinates while it kills, and continues his gambling career. There is the part of a country servant to the Grays, which was admirably acted by that quaintest of comedians, Compton. It is some time since we have seen either Mr. W. Farren or Mrs. Stirling to such advantage as in this admirable drama, and Mr. Leigh Murray- has as yet done nothing that can he compared with his Captain Wagstaffe—the make up was perfect, and the acting full of truth and of power. All the artistes %sere called for at the con elusion, and there can be no doubt but that Hearts are Trumps at the Strand every night for many weeks to come.

ON ::Y and C f EIIC IA L NEWS. CITY, QUART ER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Live rpool yesterday was quiet, but firm. The talcs were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 5 ; 000 w. re American, and sold at 4d. to 250 Pertiams to 50., 150 Bahia at 5-,}f. to 5f1., 100 Egeptien at sfel., 250 Surats at cf, to 4d., and 80 Sea Islands; 2,000 of the above ,were taken by speculators, and about 1,000 for export. —ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done, and prices were generally lower. The large public sales of Colonial Wool, which have been progressing in London for the last fortnight, have been brought to a elth.e. Upwards of 47,000 bales have been offered, and all but a few hundred bales have been disposed of, the average advance, con pared with May, being about Id. per lb. The Corn Market is dull to-day, the harvest pros pects being most excellent. Upon this subject, the Bankers' Magazine for August stefee that " the returns of the Gazette indicate a considerable rise in the value of Wheat since the end of Jute, Some reaction, however, has taken place iii anticieatien of the supplies that may come to hand from the I3sltic, For the first halt of the month the weather was hot, bright, and utmost totally free from Moisture. The prolonged absence of rain, indeed,. begi., to render the country subject to many of the inconveniences of drought. The wheat plant was everywhere benefited by a state of things so congenial to its pteiuliar constitution, and we hear from sevi ral diff. ren t quarters of the crops of this grain having made the most rapid and satisfac tory progress since the first Week of June. Nearly all the fields of wheat look remarkably well. The corn bears a•healthy colour, and the straw is stout and regular. But even • the recent abundance and int ens ity o solar heat, has not been able to . remedy the radical defects which a bad seed-time and an unpropitious spring have entailed upon a good deal of the wheat cut tiVation of the country. At present there is every pro bability of the yield of wheat being of unusually good quality, but we doubt whether the crop will exceed the average abundance. The inferior kinds of corn, rye, oats, and barley, although thriving, are less likely to turn out well than the wheat.'! • •The accounts from Belgium, Austria (except where the war rages most furiousle); Moldavia, and other parts are exceedingly favourable in respect to the growing crops: The ears of wheat in Moldavia weigh as much as 90 whiles; . .In the Amsterdam Stock Market on Monday there was not much doing, and prices were scarcely so firm at Vienna on the 27th ult. The'Meeadics were 931. The English Stock Market is very dull again to-day, and further sales of Money Stock, said to be - for the Court of Chancery, &c have depressed the quotations a little. There is no speculation going on, and when the present temporary influences are over, a rise is considered probable.

The August General Ses,ions commenced this morn• ing at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green. There are but sixty names in the calendar. William Jennings was indicted for stealing six neck... laces of the value of 2/. 55., the property of Harseh Eisenberg, from his person. The prosecutor, a Prussian, is an itinerant dealer in jewellery, and on the 17th of last month, in passing by the prisoner's house, he was invited in to show his goods ; and a bargain was made ; for the sale of a mosaic-gold chain. When he left the house he missed from his pocket a paper parcel, which 7 had contained the necklace in question. He returned I and taxed the prisoner with having robbed him. There were three other persons in the room, but his sus' t picion fell upon the prisoner, because he Was the nearest to him. A woman who was present said that Jennings had the property, and told him to Ore it up to the prosecutor. But the prisoner denied having I it, and Eisenberg went for the police. The woman called after him to come back, and showed him a fee' lof the beads, loose, in her' hand. He brought three policemen, who took the prisoner into custody, and found in his pocket only three beads, and these were I loose. The prosecutor said they were of the same kind as his, and to the best of his belief they were some of ! them. The ASSISTANT JUDGE was of opinion that, under the circumstances, the satest course for the jury would be to acquit the prisoner. Acquitted accordingly. 'CISto iiitittion GOODWOOD RACES.

A MOTHER STABBED BY HER DAUGHTER.---° ll Saturday an inquest was held at Ranisey, at the house of William Pyman, a farmer, on the hody of his wife' Anne Spencer Pyman, aged 74. Mary Ann Pyine e ' single woman, stated that the d-ceased was her mother: On Tuesday, the 10th inst., about one o'clock in the sl . ternoon, her mother and her sister, Eliza Pyrnari, - wer e in the sitting-room together, when her sister called to her to bring a lily leaf to put on her mother's knee. Sh e got a !tat, and went into the roo m w i t h it, w h e n he , mother said to her, " She (meaning her sister Elie" has cut a hole in my knee, only because I said there should be some more cabb age f or di nner ."

She had forgotten before to sta g that as soon as she cam e i n t o t h e room her nin'ther so to her, "Eliza has thrown a knife at my knee." Her sister Eliza said nothing. The wound was continued to be dressed by them until the Tuesday following (the 17th) , when Mr. Smith, the surgeon of Manningtree, was sent for, who came that morning, and who attended her uP to the time ()flier death, which took place on Thursdnio the 26th inst. Her mother did not say whether any blows had passed between her and her sister. Her sister had been for some time past labouring under aberration of intellect. This witness gave h' r evidence in a some what strange manner. Other evideuce having be et ; given, and the coroner having summed up, the jury re f ; turned a verdict of " Manslaughter aga i ns t Elise Pyman," and she was committed f or t r i a l. Th e &ugh", who has been committed to take her trial is sbOIP twenty-four years old, and was upstairs during t he f inquiry; and when the coroner and jury went to vie: the body she was extremely violent, and was breakieb things in her bedroom. }low little we hnow what is in the bosoms of thes e around us!

Journal A BUFFALO HUNT IN LONDON.—Yesterday three buffaloes, a grown bull, and two calves, one of them about the size of a email donkey, and the other of 111 sheep, landed at the docks, were being driven along Holborn to the Eu,ton-square terminus, for transit to Birmingham, when, frightened by the strange noise end clamour at the foot of Holborn-hill, the bull darted :oval followed by the calves. The animals proceeded at a very rapid rate along Fleet-street and the Strand I° Charing-cro.is. Here the hull gored some horses dra w ing a coal waggon, dashed across Trafalgar and St• James's.squares, along Jermyn street, up Bond-street , through Grosvenor-square, into Park•lane, upsetting Captain English and his horse at the moment coming out of the park, having accomplished which he fell in behind a load of hay being driven up Patk-lane. The keepers, who had followed in a chaise cart, attended h); an immense crowd, now came up, and ropes being passe d round his horns he was secured to the tail of the cart. He kicked and plunged furiously, and from his gel strength threatened to upset both horse and cart, an broke one of his Lorna, which bled profusely. He seas at length drawn to a neighbouring stable and deposited for safety. The bull and calves are very handsom e animals, of a greyish slate colour. No serious accident occurred in this long chase, though numbers were execs" aively frightened. BOSTON ELECTION.—BOSTON, JULY 81.—Th e general opinion here is that Mr Wire must win. Fresh' field is the only candidate against him who has eel chance w hate ver. Mr. Pelham will be disgraceful ) ); beaten, and the Yarborough interest materially injured by the opposition to the popular candidate. A worse result still will be the division of the Liberal interest for the future, and thereby the strengthening of the Toil chances at a general ele:etion. The meetings at 'b e theatre, to hear Mr. Wire aid his friends, are nighflY, crowdel to suffocation, hunclrt ds being unable to find room. The enthusiasm in his favour is quite extra(/' dinary.
