AUGUST 22, 1849. The present is'a busy and an anxious period for the railway interest throughout the entire country. The general half-yearly meetings of the several companies have been or are about to be held, statements as to the position and prospects of the different lines sub mitted to the shareholders, and, what is perhaps most eagerly desired, dividends declared from the profits that have been actually realised for the first six months of the present year. 'the various reductions of ex penditure are explained, and dwelt on with a pardon able complacency by hoards of directors, as affording some consolation for diminished profits and abridged dividends. The nature of the traffic, and the reason able expectations of its speedy increase, afford ample grounds on which to expatiate, and from which the hope of a" good day coming " may be collected. Every matter on which the shareholders may desire information is expatiated on, and if the report, or the opening speech of the chairman, should not he considered sufficiently explicit, there are parties ready to answer any inter rogatories and to submit to a searching cross-exami nation by any shareholder. Full advantage has been taken of the opportunities thus afforded, and a vast quantity of additional information is placed before the public in consequence of the recent meetings. The transactions of the Great Western and South- Western Railways, the two great trunk lines pro ceeding to the westward, end having metropolitan termini, may be considered of importance, second only to those of the leviathan company—the London and NOrth-Western. The rivals of the broad and narrow gauge had to render accounts of their proceedings, and to offer reduced dividends :,to ,their pro prietors; the prospects, however, are not altogether gloomy, and notwithstanding the falling off of divi• dead so painfully perceptible to every shareholder, some cheering anticipations for the future were ob tained. The prices of both Companies' stock have, in fact, improved, notwithstanding the reduction ; and strong r evidence could not be afforded of the conti• nued confidence of the public in the integrity of the management, and of their belief that the worst has already been encountered, and that no further misfor tunes are to be dreaded. The directors are not likely to enter into expensive Parliamentary contracts, or rashly to assume new liabilities. A. perpetual peace has been proclaimed between the gauges ; and although the former wars have entailed heavy bur dens upon the present proprietors, it is well to know the evils that are to be encountered, and to be assured that nothing of a similar class is henceforward to be provided for. The dividend of the Great Western Company for the half-year, ending the 30th of June, is declared to be after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. This is, indeed, a sad falling off, when it is considered that 8 per cent. was the usual dividend until within the last few 3 ears, and that nothing below 6 per cent. has ever been announced. The reasons for the change were, however, sufficiently cogent to command the unanimous assent of the shareholders. It was, indeed, at painful, although a judicious step, and one by which the permanent welfare and prosperity of the company will be materially promoted. The unnecessary ex penditure that took place v in more prosperous times on branch lines, that have either abandoned or are rogre e ss, ba s b no longer in been written off, and the interest of the sums so lost and also th e subscrip tions to other companies not at present e dividend or interest to their shareholders, paying any have first time been charged to the revenue of the for th e half-year, in pla ce of to ca p ital, as was formerlyu current the nt case. Were it not for t his alter a t ion , the net profits would have justified a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with a small balance over. Th e adoption of a course, on the propriety and expediency of which there can be no second opinion, only enabled them to recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum ; after payment of which a surplus of 18,020/. 9s, 10d. will remain unappropriated, ap plicable to future dividends or to such other purposes as may be required. The directors deserve credit for having regarded the real interest of their constituents by stopping " any increasing burden upon th 9 future THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EyENING, AUGUST 22, 1849. receipts of the company," and also for providing for a reserved fund, gradually to meet engagements or to extinguish unproductive capital. Two other circumstances must be briefly noticed. The lease for working the Bristol and Exeter line having expired on the 30th of April last, no complete analysis of the traffic for the half year could be made by way of comparison with that of former periods. The gross revenue earned by Great Western lines exclusively during the first six months of the present year has increased by 13,0001. over the corresponding period of 1848. In the expenditure there has been a reduction of 29,4004 from the corresponding period of 1848, and of 15,4001. from the last half-year. In the South-Western Company the dividend declared is after the rate of 3/ per cent. per annum. There has been an increase of net revenue on the half year of 37,251/., but there is an addi• tional amount of capital entitled to dividend of no less than 2,814,0331. This great increase is the real cause of the reduction of the dividend that has just been announced, and not any falling off of revenue or increase of expenditure. Like the Great Western Company, the revenue is now for the first time chargeable with the interest of a large unproductive expenditure. No further charge can, however, be made. After the present month there will not be a single new line or branch in progress ; and the directors have given a solemen pledge that "no further engagements in relation to the lines suspended or not commenced will be entered into until the matter shall have been again formally submitted to the reconsideration of the proprietors specially con vened for that purpose, and until the whole of the shareholders shall have an opportunity of recording their votes, and a decided majority shall have determined in favour of the prosecution of the undertaking." Under such circumstances there is every reason to join in the favourable anticipations of the directors, " that from this period the affairs of the company will progressively mend," and " that at no future period will they be in a state of such depression as at present." The anniversary of NAroLsois's birth has passed by almost unnoticed, yet since the EMPEROR last received congratulations at the Tuileries, no fifteenth of August has witnessed the Bois AT LUTE family in such fortunate circumstances as - this last one. Even a year ago, although LOUIS PHILIPPE had ceased to reign, it was a matter of doubt .whether the heir of the once Imperial family might be admitted into Republican France. Conscious, however, of the strength of the Republican spirit which animated her, France welcomed back the exile. She welcomed with joyful enthusiasm the nephew of BONA PARTE, not the heir of the EMPEROR. As stich . --as the representative of that BONAPARTE who had con solidated the triumphs of the first revolution—Nero- LEoN-Loms received almost unparalleled proofs of popular favour. He was chosen by acclamation the first guardian of the popular rights. He was chosen that the magic of his glorious name might give strength and stability to the young Re public. The Citizen BONAPARTE responded to the call ; he became the first PRESIDENT of the French Republic. That election was a beautiful commemo ration of the nation's gratitude to her great be nefactor. " Le people encore le revere, Oul, le revere." That election placed LOUIS NAPOLEON in a proud position—the Chief of one of the chief nations of the earth, chosen by the unanimous ♦oice of a great people. It is a position prouder than that to which Prince Louis once aspired, when in his infancy he was considered as NAPOLEON'S heir. It is a position second only to that which will immortalize for ever the name of NAPOLEON-Lows, when at the expira tion of his Presidentship he shall resign into the hands of the people the power they so reliantly en trusted to him. Then, indeed, he will hold a position which the best among us may be forgiven for envying. No longer shall the " CINCINNATUS of the West" have " Bequeathed the name of Washington To make men blush there was but onei" for the glory of WASHINGTON will be eclipsed by Louis NAPOLEON, inasmuch as in his case the temptation is greater and the opportunity more se ductive. But the temptation will be resisted! May we not dare to prophecy as much ? although, we must confess, our " wish is father to the thought." May we not venture to prophecy that you, NAPOLEON LOUIS, the chosen guardian of the liberties of France, will, by one act of sublime ,self denial, cover yourself with a glory far ex ceeding that which shone around your cradle P Is it possible that you can be led away by the delusive whispers of designing men ? Is it possible that some phantasm of the brain, "some yet imperial hope," can render you blind to the glorious path now open before you ? Be not deceived ! The choice before you is not between empire and obscurity, but between glory and destruction. You may, if it so please you, refuse the solid advantages proffered to your grasp, but you will not clutch the glittering phantom of imperial pomp—that is gone by for ever I The future will decide this all-important question, all-important to the PRESIDENT individually, but to France a matter of minor consideration. Her liberties, we hope and believe, are now established on too firm, because on too popular a foundation, to fear assault or un dermining from the most bold and crafty foe. The skill of the " modern ULYSSES " was unequal to that task, and even the name of NAPOLEON, if (which GOD forbid !) it become antagonistic to those liberties, will be powerless. Liberty has invariably a progressive course; tyranny, frequently, as a natural consequence, follows anarchy but only for a brief period. The spirit of the nation cannot retrograde. Can a man put on the garment of a child ? Could our people now bend themselves to the feudal laws ? These are quesstidt4l'vfhich reqqiict no answer. As firmly as we believe that our own country enjoys (to a great extent) the blessings of popular freedom, as firmly and unmovingly as, we believe,.that ere long all Europe, even the dominions of ncsoLes, will (in a mitigated degree, perhaps, at first) participate in those blessings—so firmly do we believe it impossible that Republican France will again kneel at the footstool of an Emperor. " What, they who burst the bondage their fathers bcre so long, That oppression had seemed sacred in its venerable wrong, What, they who have outspoken, and the whole world obeyed, With its princes and its monarchs on their high thrones afraid— What, shall they learn the courtier's lisp, and shall they cringe and sue?" The elevation of the Consul BONAPARTE to the Imperial dignity can only be accounted for, and perhaps excused, by the unparalleled circumstances of the times and his unparalleled glory. Such an hour and such a man will never arrive again. For France we have no fear : only Loves individually will be affected by the close of hi, Presidentship. He may choose between ridicule and renown. In the latter: case may al most be applied to him the panegyric on the abdicat ing Roman— " His greatest glory was that hour Of self-upheld, abandoned power." This sentence would be the most glorious motto Louis NAPOLEON could have inscribed upon his tomb. If realised it, will be his infallible passport to the admiration and gratitude of posterity. MANCHESTER 'TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The continued advance in the Cotton Market has had the tendency of keeping up the firm feeling in the goods market which has existed for some time. As many large orders are now nearly approaching completion, there was some tendency to relax as to demand, but the late increased advance in the raw material has operated as a check to any downward tendency, and prices are as firm as ever. Business, however, has not manifested that briskness which for a length of time has charac• terized the market, and as the export trade has consi derably fallen off, some re-action may be, for a time at least, not unlikely. The business that is being done, however, is not inconsiderable, and of a most healthy kind. The transactions connected with the home trade are satisfactory, and strong hopes are still cherished of a brisk autumn trade. TRADE or PAISLET.—Trade continues brisk, and we are inform e d th a t f or t h e l ast ten ye irs th ere h as not be en such a demand for weavers.

It is evident from the following article in the Debats, that the POPS is by no means inclined to do those things promised in his name to the French As sembly by his sponsor, M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. On the contrary, the re-establishment of the Inquisition, the seizure of all the copies of DIODATI'S translation of the Bible, the arrest and imprisonment of Dr. ACHILLI, solely because he is a Protestant, all tend to prove that Pius IX. takes for his model the hero of M. DE FALLoux, who planned, in conjunction with the French Parti- Pretre of that day, the mas sacre of St. Bartholomew, rather than the pious, tolerant, and liberal-minded GANGANELLI, between whom and MASTAII FERRETTI it was at one time thought there was some resemblance. The article in the Debate is as follows : "It is impossible for us to conceal the deep and in creasing regret which we feel in seeing the return of the Pope to Rome indefinitely postponed. We know the excellent and paternal feelings of Piux IX.—we know that he is animated with the most prudent and liberal intentions—we know, by his reiterated declarations, that he comprehends all the extent of the reforms which the Government of his states demands. We think we also know that the power the more directly interested in the pacification of Italy—far from contradicting the councils given by France, on the contrary , supports them. We are, therefore, persuaded that if the Pope himself comes and resumes his place in his capital, he would personally exercise his prerogative in quite a different spirit from that shown by his present delegates. What has taken place in Rome since the commandant of the French army considered it his duty to hand over the civil Government to the pontifical commission? We do not speak of the measure connected with the paper money—a measure which we consider ill-advised, which has ruined and dissatisfied the middle classes, but which may perhaps be justified by reasons of political economy. What we allude to, and what we think we have a right to complain of bitterly, is the precipitation with which the commission of three cardinals successively re established the institutions and the customs which were the moat decried and condemned of the previous regime of Pius IX., such as the vicariat-general, the inquisition into the existence of all citizens, and the ecclesiastical judicial power. The reform in the judicial oft warmly those and constantly re e measures which the oFrrgeannoihs Governmentat n was on th e e most commen ded, and the Pepe hims e l f had publicly accepted the ides, and had form all y ex p ressed his intention of in - troducing the principles of the French civil code into the I administration of justice in his states. It is for this reason we shall hail with the livliest satisfaction the re turn of the Pope into his states, for we are sure that he will not suffer the abuse which is now there made of his authority. But while waiting for his return the French are there, and they must not be there for nothing. We are morally responsible for what is done in such parts of the Pontifical territory as we occupy militarily; and when we see already the re-establishment of certain institutions, added to useless acts of violence against persons, we cannot allow ourselves to be indifferent wit nesses of such a spectacle, and appear to sanction it by our presence and by our silence. We consider that France has fulfilled her duties towards the Papacy; she has others to perform towards the Romans —towards the opinion of all the Italian peninsula—of all liberal Eu rope—and we may add, towards herself. We certainly feel the deepest respect for the sovereignty of the Pope, and for his perfect independence; we nevertheless think that both the one and the other woutd ho very weak without us, and that after having accepted the sword of France, there would be no humiliation in accepting some of her counsels." But it is not merely the affairs of Rome which are embarrassing the French Government. The following letter, which appears in the semi-official Pattie, proves that the French Government regard with almost equal anxiety the state of affairs in Piedmont : " The extreme party in the Chamber of Deputies ap pear to have the upper hand. The left will have 90 votes, while the constitutional right will find a difficulty to muster 40. Since the nomination of the President a compromise had been attempted by the right, which did not put forward any candidate, and gave their support to a man belonging to the moderate left centre. The de mocratic party, however, would listen to no compromise. To what will this state of things lead us? To anarchy or to absolutism. You are already aware that a dis discussion has been opened on the treaty of peace, and that the Ministry would in all probability meet with an immediate check. The opposition has allowed itself to be carried' away by the exciting language of MM. Cabella, Bianchi, Giovanni, Cadorne, and Valerio. It thought that it was not necessary to have a war of words, but one of facts—a systematic war. It began by refusing to sanction the treaty, Will this vote lead to the overthrow of the Ministry? Ido not think it will. Any other Ministry whatever must, before any other thing is done, submit tho treaty of peace to the approbation of the Chamber, for there is not a moment to be lost; there is a necessity for its so doing—a fatal necessity, I admit, but against which it is useless to struggle. And suppose that the Government should be mad enough to again attempt the game of force and chance, is it not clear that in three days the Austrians would be at Turin?" In which case France, we may add, will be com pelled to do that which she ought to have done long since, draw the sword in support of Italian lade psradence. The National publishes a letter from Constaninople, which gives the following details of Ere bargain between Russia and Austria. The writer says— " I terminate my letter with a piece of very grave news. There can be no doubt of the VICE, mat has agreed to cede the mouth of the Caltaro to Russia. Caltaro is only at some leagues' distance from the Turkish port of Antivari, and of Scutari, the capital of Albania, and not far from the lonian Isles. The Divan and Sir S. Canning have energetically protested against this surrender, and have announced that they consider it to involve a casus kW. Has France become Russian to such an extent as to hold her silence in pre sence of so exorbitant a circumstance?" This statement is corroborated by an article in the Presse (the organ of the Russian party) which makes a precisely similar statement. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has taken up his residence at St. Cloud, where he proposes to remain during the -vacation. M. DE PALLOUX has gone to the baths at Neris, :and the Marquis of NORMANDY has left Paris for the coast. A letter frnm Toulon of the 17th inst. announces that accounts have been received from Gaeta which leave no doubt as to the intention of the POPE to return at no distant period to Rome. M. DE COUR.. CELLES is expected every day at Toulon. The Medi terranean fleet remained at anchor in the harbour. Father VENTURA is at present at Montpellier. He has been refused passports to Paris. The following exquisitely ridiculous paragraph ap pears in the Corsaire on the subject of the meetings of the Financial Reform Association. Mr. Luss- INGTON, and the Reverend Mr. SPENCER, who are staunch Free traders, will smile to see themselves classed among the Socialists, who are the legitimate offiv&i,pg,oc; . roteFtifm. ",If,"Says the,p9saice, !7,1 1A , gracibiie SOVEUEiGN or Great Britain is desirous of preserving her triple crown, she must, what ever may be said, oppose the development of radical meetings. If you wish for a Government par excellence, go to the United States,' said Mr. Luss -INGTON to the people three days since, and the people of London clapped their bands. Aristocracy, so ar rogant for us, is no longer spared. In speaking of economical reforms, the Rev. Mr. SPENCER said, I see no reason for giving the QUEEN Dowsoza. 100,0001. per annum. And Lord Bisououssi, what does he want with 5,0001. (125,000 f.) which is al lowed to him ? And the bastards of CHARLES 11., why are rich presents made to them ?'—(Loud ap plause.) But there is something more serious still. ' I declare loudly that if the taxes are not decreased the internal tranquillity of the country will net long continue.' In fact, it is Socialism advancing towards civil war. Let our neighbours across the Channel now taunt us; they resemble us more than they are aware of."

ALLEGED MURDER AT GLASGOW.—A man named Alexander Brock, residing at No. 37, High-street, com mitted an assault upon his wife, artha M'Kellar or Brock, on Saturday afternoon, from the effects of which she died almost instantaneously. The circumstances which led to the fatal occurrence are stated to be as follows:—Brock, who is an engineer, and a steady man, had given his wife some money either on Friday night or Saturday morning, for family purposes, but which she bad misspent in getting herself intoxicated. On his coming home to dinner on Saturday the fire was out, and the house empty. Lie accordingly went to a brother in-law's, who resides in the New Vennal, in search of his wife, where he found her, to a certain extent, the worse of liquor. On leaving the house together a quarrel en• sued, which ended in bis knocking her down. She rose, however, and followed him down the High-street to the close in which their own house is situated, where the quarrel was again renewed, and he pushed or threw her down upon the stair, and kicked her with so much vio lence that she was killed on the spot; at least when Dr. Shaw, who was immediately sent for, arrived, life was extinct. The deceased was severely cnt about the fors. head. Brock was apprehended and lodged in the police office on charge of wirder.—North British Mail. G E R NI A N Y ANI) THE NORTHEIIN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. RUMOURED SURRENDER OF GEORGEY. The Wiener Zeitung of the 17th inst. publishes the following TELEGRA;HIC DISPATCH. "His Excellency Feldzeugmeister Baron Haynau to his Majesty the Emperor. "His Excellency the Foldzeugmeister Baron Haynau informs his Majesty the Eoperor, by means of a courier, who will reach Schonbrunn by the evening train, that on the 13th of this month , at Vila g o s , th e rebel chief Georgey, together with a great part of his army, amount ing to between thirty and forty ,thousand men, laid down their arms and surrendered at dismetion. " By the Imperial Commander of the City. " Vienna, Aug. 17, 1849." We cannot credit this announcement until it is corroborated by other evidence, for. we cannot believe in the existence of guilt so black and of treason so atrocious as must be that of GEORGET if the above ' statement be true. The guilt of the American AR NOLD was as nothing in comparison with what that of GEoRGET must have been, if at the head of 40,000 men he has laid down his arms. It is true the praises which have of late been lavished on him in Russian and Austrian reactionary journals seem to indicate that he has been engaged in some '• trans action' with the oppressors of his country, and.for some time past rumours have been circulated of the probability of his deserting to the Austrians ; but we cannot yet believe that GEoRGET can have bartered his fame and sold his country for Russian gold. An evening contemporary has the following "It appears from information which reached Warsaw on the morning of the 16th of this month, that the Hun garian Diet bad dissolved itself, after surrendering its powers to Georgey. This act was followed by an un conditional surrender to the Russians, on the part of Georgey, in the name of all persons in arms against the Austriau Government. This event took place at Arad, on the 11th:instant. The saline account gives particulars of the raising of the sieges of Temesvar and Karlsburg, and of the second defeat of Beni by the Russian troops under General Luders, in the Rothenthurm defile. The engagement took place on the' sth of August, when the combined forces of the Russian Generals Luders and Harferd ' simultaneously attveked. Bem, and totally dispersed his corps, taking 15 pieces of artillery, upwards of 1,000 I prisoners, and killing or wounding about as many more. ' "An arrangement bad been entered into between the Russian Field-Marshal and Georgey, in virtue of which s a commission, composed of an officer from each of the three belligerent parties, was to proceed immediately to all the divisions of the Hungarian forces, to put a stop to further hostilities." The Wiener Zeitung also publishes the following dispatch from 11A.INAII, announciug the relief of Temesvar _ _ "'Soldiers !—The privations and fatigues sustained by you upon your difficult march from I'esth hither, the bloody battles of the Theiss and Maros, arid the hard fight of yesterday, which lasted twelve hours, have been crowned with the brilliant result of the relief of Temesvar. " In this achievement you will find the reward for all the hardships and dangers endured by - you with the most manly patience and cheerfulness. You will find that reward in your own breasts. You are the liberators of those heroes who, already hard pressed by a siege of three months, soon, perhaps, through want, would have been condemned to the sad necessity of being obliged to acknowledge rebels as their conquerors. By the speed of your marches, which is matched by few examples in the history of warfare, by your bravery,. you have rescued the most important bulwark of Lower Hungary. Soldiers I—Our beloved chivalrous Emperor will ac knowledge these your deeds. Your praise from his own lips is, I know well, the highest reward for which you strive. I, the witness of your courage, of your perse verance, can only express to you my thanks for the joy ful readiness with which you have executed my commands on all occasions, even the most difficult. I express once more my expesitation that you will preserve the same constancy and valour in the further course of this war, and conduct the same thereby to a speedy and glorious end. Head- quarters, Temesvar, August 10, F. 1849. M. WOHLGEMUTH, the new Governor of Transylvania, arrived at Hermannstadt on the 26th ult. KOSSUTH was, it is said, at Pancseva. On the 14th a disturbance occurred in one of the minor theatres of Vienna, which is indicative of the popular mind. A drama founded on the current events of the day was produced at the Arena, in which the red-cloaks (the Croatian cavalry of Jella chich) were represented conquering the Hungarians. The suburbans hereupon raised such a row that the performance could not proceed. Letters from Szegedin, of the 24th of July, puts us at last in possession of a clear and coherent account of Hungarian operations from the 6th to the 24th of that month. They show us the real position and prospects of Dembinski up to the 24th of last month; and by recapitulating the antecedents of Georgey, confirms and explains the account of his victory over Grabbe on the 28th of July. That victory is, we see, now admitted by the Vienna papers. The Ost Deutsche Presse of the 15th of August states, that it has learned on good authority, co "that b George"."- tGeneralGrabbe has been driven back upon TOM tie 24t0 of July darlmpas again falls over the events in the region of Szegedin, and from the 2tilth upon those in the vicinity of Onod. Intelligence respecting Georgey, received by way of Warsaw, appears to us of a questionable character. According to the Warsaw intelligence, a great battle had been fought at Nagy-Karoly, between Georgey and Paskiewitch, in which the Russians had the better, and took 6,000 prisoners. The date of this battle is not specified in our dispatches, but it would appear to have taken place (if it all) about the Oth of August. Nagy-Karoly is about fifty English miles E.N.E. of Debreczin, and seventy to the S.E. of Tokay. Georgey is represented as retreating before Grabbe and Osten Sacken, in a southerly direction, while Tcheodajeff, with the 4th corps, preceded Pas kiewitch, through Debreczin, to cut him off from the road to Grosswardein. Nagy-Karoly is the point at which the roads from Debreczin and Tokay meet, and no doubt Georgey would be, if defeated, as the last Russian bulletin gives out, compelled to fall back on Transylvania by the road of Nemethi Szatmar and Nagy-Banya. One reason why we suspect this news to be fabri cated is the utter want of any apparent motive for Georgey to advance to Nagy-Karoly. VIENNA, AUG. 17.—The Wiener Zeitung of the 16th says, that according to authentic intelligence, the Imperial army has again occupied .Raab. Per sons who brought this intelligence add, that this has been effected without striking a blow. The second corps of the Hurvrian army, under K•LAPKA, which is mid i° number 30,00"0 bleb, has 'effected a retiegrad movement, and has fallen back upon Comorn. The insurgent troops which were stationed at Schutt have returned to Gate. PRUSSIA. In its sitting of the 18th the Chamber of Deputies of Prussia resolved to form a Committee of 21 mem bers to revise the Constitution. The King of Prussia has conferred the Order of Military Merit on General PRITTWITZ, and the Order of the Red Eagle, second class, on General MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 8,000 bales, and included 2,500 American, 300 Pernam, 200 Bahia, 700 Egyptian and 300 Surat taken on speculation. The sales reported were 5,000 AMerican at 4d. to 6d., 600 Pernam, &c. at sd. to 6d, 1,000 Egyp tian at 6d. to 6d., 400 Bahia at sd. to sid., 600 Surat at aid. to 4id., and 100 Sea Island at 10d. to is. 3d. per lb. The market closed very firm. The trade, however, buy with less spirit, but speculators were active.—Rail way Shares were firmovith a considerable business doing. The Corn Market is without alteration to-day, and the business doing is but limited. The Stock Markets abroad are described as having been quiet, but the important news from Hungary was not then known. The West India ad - vices appear' to read somewhat more favourably. The weather was better in several of the colonies, and there was a more hopeful disposition in a few quarters. The Demerara Assembly had pro ceeded to business. A very able report had been made by Mr. Walker upon the subject of labour, &c., and in this he strongly recommends the farming out system as the only means of meeting the want of labour. The habits of the peasantry seem to have deteriorated, and their appreciation of dress and luxuries has greatly diminisht d. Under these circumstances efforts should be made to raise them again in self-estima , ion. It is satisfactory at any time to hear of exertions making, or to be made, by the American States for the payment of their debts, but there is in some instances still a great difference of opinion as to the moral as well as the legal claim which the foreign creditors have. The New York Herald defends Mississippi to a great extent, although admitting that the Legislature approved highly of the sale of the Bonds. The fact is, however, that there is a great difference between borrowing and re paying, and, without entering at length into the matter, we may be permitted to hope that the Mississippi people will despise quibbles, and act honourably, even at a sacri fice. The paper above referred to states— "No one denies the existence of the law, and the course pursued by the Legislature after the loan was negotiated; but it was the business of the purchaser to see whether the Legislature had power to make such a loan or not, as the value of the bonds issued depended entirely upon that. This is, _in our opinion, the only just ground for repudiation; and to the principle in volved we are indebted for the preservation of the most important institutions of the country. Leaving out of the question entirely the rea eons given by the Governor at the time of the suspension of the Union Bank, that the stipulation that the State Bonds should not be disposed under their par value, had been departed from, and that the Bank of the United States could not, by its charter, legally pur chase the Bonds, and falling back upon the fact that the law passed by the Legislature, authorising the loan, was unconstitutional, it is clear that the bondholders have no legal claim upon the people of the State of Mississippi. As we have heretofore remarked, the only hope of the bondholders is in a compromise. They must abandon their claims and leave off browbeating, and it is possible, although not very probable, that some arrangement will be made. The legality of the claim never can be, and never will be, acknowledged; but the people of Mississippi feel disposed to do everything in their power to relieve those who have been duped by a set of swindlers, whose operations for boldues and extent were at the time unparalleled. " The finances of Mississippi are steadily improving, and before the lapse of many years the interest on the acknowledged indebtedness of the State will be provided for. Delinquency is far from being repudiation, and nothing is wanting but the ability to promptly pay the interest on the non-repudiated debt, as it accrues. The people have the will without the means; but every frac tion of both principal and interest accrued and accruing will be ultimately paid:" We hope mutters may turn out as here stated, and that people subscribing to any future loans will recollect that they are expected to have a knowledge, not only of financial matters, but likewise of the complicated political institutions of a country.

The military murders of unfortunate civilians by order of drum-head courts-martial continue in Baden and the Palatinate, where a reign of terror infinitely more ruthless than that of ROBESPIERRB and DANTON has been inaugurated in the much-abused name of order, by the lawless soldiery of the reactionary Monarchists. The Deutsche Zeitung announces the condemnation and execution, at Rastadt, of M. Boning, one of the leaders of the Baden insurrection. He was shot on the 17th instant. M. Boning was a native of the duchy of Nassau, and the oldest of the insurgent chiefs. He was the leader of the Swiss Free Corps, and equally implioatoci in the former inaurrootions which had disturbed the peace of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The same paper announces the execution of Charles Hofer, a schoolmaster from Altendorf, who was shot at Mannheim on'the 16th inst. He too had been a leader of the Badish insurgents, and by his terrorism he compelled the population of his district to enlist in the revolutionary army, and oppose the advance of the Prussian troops.

O ne o f t h e Tuscan p a p ers states that hi s w ife died at Chi ogg i a, after having child. giving premature birth to a still-born Letters from Gaeta state that the Porn is far from well, and that his person presents a swollen appearance which is probably owing to the malaria prevalent at Gaeta, in common with so many other parts of the Italian sea. coast, during summer and autumn. Rumours are not wanting with respect to this indisposition, for a far different cause is by some assigned as its origin than air, and suspicion s are a l ready awa k en ed that dr ugs have been administered to the Pura, calculated to remove him gradually from a scene of action in which he has taken such a principal part. It is also averred that a disposition on the part of Pius to grant some concessions favourable to his subjects induced the Sacred College to this step. Such an accusation is, however, too tremendous to reproduce otherwise than as a mere report.

The complainant was a diaper in the City, and a short time ago the prisoner, who was an a b an d one d woman , came into his shop to look at some dresses; a quantity was shown to her, from which she selected one, which she was about to carry away when his attention was called to the important fact that she had neglected to pay for it. She disputed the statement, and insisted that she had placed the money on the counter. The prosecutor, however, felt satisfied that she had not, and told her that unless the money was forth coming a policeman should be called in. Upon this intimation she became very violent, declaring that the prosecutor was a thief, and threatening to do for him if he did not let her go; but he was determined she should not escape in that manner, and while one of his shop men went to seek an officer he laid his hands upon her to prevent her running away. No sooner had he done so than she drew a knife from her pocket and stabbed him in the forehead, inflicting two or three dangerous wounds. The jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to seven years' transportation. MA RLBRO'-STREET— ( THIS DAY). Thos.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON MIL VICARS, OF LIVERPOOL.—(THIS DAY.) The proceedings under the commission de lunatic° inquirendo, iisued by the Lord Chancellor, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Vicars, of Liverpool, was resumed this morning, before F. Barlow, Esq., one of the Commis•doners of Lunacy. Mr. Vicars, the alleged lunatic, was present, as be was 3 esterday, during the whole of the proceedings. Richard Formby was called and examined by al WILLS—Is a phy s ician, p ract i s i ng at Li verpoo l sire , 1813. Had had experience with respect to unsoundill. of mind. H a d beep a v i s i tor w i t h mag i strates to lun atte asylums fur thirteen years. Had visited Watton Lodge Asylum. Saw Mr. E. Vicars at that asylum in the spring of 1847. Examined his case. The first time b e saw him he said he would take no food; that it did bier no good, that it wen t i nto t h e ca l ves of h i s legs , and that people were sent to lunatic asylums by electricift Witness always saw Mr. E. Vicars every time he visited the asylum w ith th e mag i strates. Visited him tw i c e at the request of D r . Li c hfi e ld to ascertain his stat e a; mind, and he satisfied himself that Mr. Vicars was r i e s in a state of m i n d to manage h i s affairs; that he labour a under great delusions, and was not fit to be at large; O signed a certific a t e w i t h Mr. Clairton to that effect. °n lit being further p resse d, t h e w i tness said Mr. Vicars be fit to be at large, but not to manage his affairs. .." . ` a might be wrong, but th a t was hi s op i n i on. Hi s min was in that state th a t it m i g h t b e operated on b y t hee lesion he was under. Had not seen Mr. E. Vicars ti" yesterday, since he escaped from the asylum. Cross-examined by Mr. MALlNS—Visited the Asylu m with the magistrates every three months. There are about thirty patients. Thought the maximum time 0 4 took upon each visit, to consider Mr. Vicars' caset, ll o , about five minutes. Witness's first visit to the ase g b alter the 27th of February, 1847, was on the 1 ;', 4 ,. April, and he bad perfect recollection of seeing did Vicars onthat day, and that he then told him his foesl 6 him no good ; that he had neither stomach or howy test and that his food went to his heels. Witness did not Mr. E. Vicars on th e or di nary affairs of life, or upon money affairs. Had been told by Dr. Lichfield th at Mr. E. Vicars was a hard drinker. Witness thong'? that Mr. E. Vicars was competent, after conversing with him upon all subjects, except that of food. Saw Mr. 0. Vicars on the 26th July, but had no minute of what, took place. Recollected Mr. Vicars sa yi ng u p o n tha t occasion *het electricity mad. mcn mad. Re said nothing about his f oo d, h e was t h en mad upon anotn er point. Witness was quite satisfied upon that occa sion that Mr. Vicars had been properly detained. Visited Mr. Vicars on the 14th September, and the same delusion remained. Visited him again in Janus* 1848, and found him in the same state. Visited bim. again in Ap r il, J u l y , an d O ctober, but no entry W as made in the books with respect to Mr. Vicars' case. Was certain that in 18.48 Mr. Vicars said that insanity was also produced by Indian hemp. When witnes e visited Mr. E. Vicars with Mr. Churton he thought tbeY must have been with him half an hour or more, but be would not undertake to say it lasted five minutes. Wit ness thought that people might be made mad by b ran d y, op i um, and Indian hemp, made peopl e d run k and they were then mad. Re-examined by Mr. Wiees—Delirium tremens often led to permanent ma d ness. Dr. Southey, ex am i ne d b y M r. R OLT—Had seen Mr' Vicars twice at the ho use i n J uly last. On conversing Mr. Vi cars th e fi rst t i me he saw nothing to le l him to suppo se hi s m i n d was unsound. On the secon interview h e t ouc h e d upon t h e points on which Mr. a Vicars was said to have delusions, and be appeared to have curious notions of the power of elect r i c ity. H e a l so said tbs' lunatic asylums were fitted up with batteries, and tbat he had himself felt the cif ct of them. The witness considered it was a delusion ; but upon all other points he remained rationally and well. He appeared like a man that had delusions, but who, if he took care of biro' self, and kept from all excitement, would recover. 1W he could not say that he was sane for all purposes. Cross-examined by Mr. JASIES—Mr. Holding, the solicitor to Mr. E. Vicars, requested him to give hica such a report as he thought Mr. Vicars' case required. There was much yet to b e dis covered with respect to electricity, and it was not surprising that a partially-educated man should have exaggerated notions of it. He believed that upon all ordinary cases Mr. E. Vicars was sane, and it was his impression that it would be cruel to confine him. Madness arising from delirium tremens was easier cured than any other madness. By the CuMAISSIONER—Witness th oug h t i t wou ld be h ard to deprive M r . E. Vicars of his civil rights. (This statement created applause in the court.) Wit ness thought Mr. Vicars also was fit to be a free agent in the disposal of his property and his person, and the management of his affairs. In answer to a question from one of the jury, the witness said he should not thick himself justified in giving a certificate that would confine Mr. Vicars in a lunatic asylum. Mr. Vicars was then examined by the Commissioner, and gave most rational answers to all the questions put to him. He admitted that be had had delusions, but he believed now they were the effect of delirium tremens. The jury, after hearing the explanations and answers given by Mr. Vicars, stated that they were all satisfied that Mr, Vicars was not of unsound mind. B. R Per Ed w. Ste R. L. From .
