Yesterday, in answer to a deputation from the Committee of Liberal electors in the metropolis, the Right Hon. the LORD MA YON explicitly avowed his intention of accepting the candidateship for the re presentation of the city of London in Parliament. Beyond this acknowledgment, his Lordship candidly explained his political feelings upon many points of considerable importance. Not that the constituency of the capital could be considered as entirely ignorant of the general bearing of the policy favourably re garded by Sir JAMES DUKE. His conduct through out the period of hi s mayoralty , not to say the course adopt e d b y hi m throughout the time of his being one of th e mem b ers of the corporation, has been su ffi cient to pro ve t o the citizens of the me tr o. t polis that their chief m ag i strate is, in all essent ia l particulars, a legislator a c t uate d b y the most en lightened vieyvs and by the most liberal principl es . Nevertheless, there still remained one or t wo parti culars upon which it was absolutely requisite that the LORD MAYOR should plainy declare his senti ments. re specting him as a high civic functionary, and a teeming him as a fellow-citizen, and as a participator in their commercial enterprises, it Wa3 still imperatively nece s sary that the electors of the city of London should arrive at some distinct and positive understanding in reference to his intentions, for example, with regard to the Jewish Disabili , les. Having so very tact ntly, by a splendid majority of stiffrages, pledged the capital to the labour of aiding in the extinction of the last vestige of reli gious intolerance, it was absolutely incumbent upon the metropolitan holders of the franchise to elect as a successor to Mr. PATTISON :. , ome man identical with then in their opinions as to the necessity of extinguishing the final spark of bigotry and fans- ticism. Upon this, as upon a variety of other topics, Sir Jsztes DUKE was enabled to express himself entirely to the satisfaction of the deputation. In no one par ticular did the LORD MAYON find it advisable to resort to the sheltetof ambiguous language. He pointed with a very justifiable complacency to the whole of his Parliamentary career in proof of his undeviating resolution to support liberal measures. He referred to his proceedings since he first began to represent in the House of Commons the distinguished and influential constituency of Boston. He directed the observation of the inhabitants of London to the division list, in which his name would be invari ably found on the side of a liberal Administration, or of a liberal Opposition ; the gradual extension of the suffrage was a scheme which would receive his cordial concurrence and his most energetic support ; the application of the principles of free trade to all the machinery of commerce was an end to which his eff ,rts were now undeviatingly directed. These declarations cannot but have their effect upon the great metropolitan constituency ; they cannot but confirm the electors of London in their determination to carry the LORD MAYOR triumphantly through the approaching contest at the Guildhall. For it is to be a contest ! One Mr. PARKER, Queen's Counsel, eminent in his intellectual aridity as a Chancery lawyer, has been scrambled forward as a candidate. Certainly, if the electors of London are curious to find out the character of this unknown politician, they must dip into some such guide-book as that one published this year, and facetiously termed Who's Who ? Yet even Who's Who, we would wager, will be found to afford them no satisfactory information with regard to Mr. PARKER, beyond the fact already familiar to them that he appends to his name the magical ini tials, Q. C. Further the deponent sayeth not. Mr• PARKER himself, on the day of nomination, may, perhaps, be kind enough to unbosom himself upon this particular, as to Who's Who, and in addition may also probably inform the electors, upon one or two political questions, What's What. Until that morning, we must wait the issue in patience, cherishing some times a suspicion that after all this gentleman may be as much a myth as the ever-redoubtable Mr. ABRAHAM PARKER. The novelty of a Lord Mayor appearing upon the hustings as a candidate for the votes of the citizens of London will not fail to impart a stimulus to an election which might otherwise pass over with comparative quietude, from the circumstance of the recent election of the Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD. As to the issue of the contest, there cannot of course be one moment's hesitation. The proceeding is already all but completed, and the vacancy is even now virtually filled up—that vacancy in the represen tation of the metropolis which has been so very unex pectedly caused by the demise of Mr. PATTISON. When the twelve months of civic supremacy has expired to Sir JAMES Duxx, he will still find himself intimately associated with the first city of the empire—and that not only as a merchant and an alderman, but in a peculiar degree as a popular representative. No fact is, perhaps, better established at the pre sent day than that the cholera is produced by a de teriorated state of the atmosphere, and that its ravages may be materially mitigated, if not altogether terminated, by proper attention to the most obvious sanitary precautions. The numerous investigations that have taken place into the causes of the deaths of the unhappy persons that perished from that fearful disease—reports of which have appeared in the public journals—all show, that in every instance the sufferers have been exposed to the morbific influences of untrapped gullyholes—of defective sewerage—of overcrowded churchyards—or of some other of the numerous devices for tainting the air, and rendering the various localities unwholesome and dangerous to human life. The " smoke nuisance" has bad la. run the production of the deadly visitation. In the various inquisitions held on Monday last, at the Millbank Penitentiat y, we find an intelligent physician (Dr. WILLIAM BAYLEY), in speaking of the predisposing causes of the disease, alludes to "a bone-house" in the immediate vicinity of the cell of the deceased, the smell from which was of " the most offensive description," and which must have produced "a most deleterious effect on all within its reach." The Learned Gentleman added, " Besides the bone-house, there were manu factories which threw out dense masses of smoke, that sometimes enveloped the entire prison. They were, in fact, surrounded by manufactories of all kinds. The gas-works, in particular, ware dreadfully offensive, and for the last few weeks the nuisance had been greater than ever. The atmosphere was, in fact, quite poisoned." This statement, which was immediately " loudly corroborated by several of the jury," will sufficiently ex plain the causes of the dreadful mortality that has prevailed in the Millbank Penitentiary since it has been used as a receptacle for, convicts. We say "at all times," for it is notorious that the same pollution, which in one state of the atmosphere will produce cholera, will in another lead to fever, or other diseases which have generally been classed as " infectious complaints." In Millbank, and, of course, in other localities where similar nuisances are in operation, an enormous waste of human life may fairly be attributed to the " dense masses of smoke," so justly complained of by Dr. BAYLEY and the assembled jurors; and it, there fore, becomes an imperative duty, which cannot be slighted or disregarded, that Parliament should, without a moment's unnecessary delay, afford protection to the people, and provide some cheap and expeditious method of abating those nuisances which cannot effectually be suppressed under the expensive and tedious process of an indictment at common law. It is not because we cannot immediately produce a perfect measure, that we cannot grapple with all the evils that must eventually be suppressed, or be cause these evils have existed for many centuries, that we should not attempt to make any progress, and to get rid of the most glaring grievances. The smoke nuisance has undoubtedly become "An aged vice, a grey iniquity." It might have been just as objectionable, and elicited as many complaints in the reign of CHARLES the SE- Conn as at present; but surely that is no reason why , we should consent to its continuance, or to the sacri- five of whole hecatombs of victims at its shrine. `The nation did not possess in those days the scientific appliances that are now in every-day use. It would, indeed, be ridiculous to argue that we should eschew the railway or steam-boat, because our fathers were contented with the heavy stage-coach or lumbering waggon, or _that we should still suffer the population to be decimated by small. pox, because vaccination had not been resorted to b. fore Dr. JENNER published the results of his exper t ments. In the seventeenth century no method was known by which the smoke of furnaces could be consumed ; the only alternative was either to sub mit patiently to the inevitable nuisance, or altogether to abolish the manufactures in which those furnaces were essential, and to deprive of employment thou sands of the labouring population. There was only a choice of evils, and that of least magnitude would necessarily be selected. But no such alternative is now forced upon us. We may in a great degree, i not altogether, prevent the issue of smoke from furnaces, and that without any serious expense or injury to the proprietors. Nay, it would, after the first outlay, effect a considerable saving of expense to the parties, for that very smoke that now poisons the atmosphere may easily be rendered a valuable element of combuition. The smoke•con- suming apparatus has already been tested in many large manufactories, and even in the public dock yards; there it has proved perfectly efficient, and the smoke grievance has been completely removed by means thereof. A reference to our advertising columns will show that the public are invited to wit ness the effect of " GODSON'S Smoke-Preventing Ap paratus," which is in daily operation at Messrs. BECKETT'S Steam-mills, Barbican, where every in quiry will be fully answered, so that the most incredulous mut be perfectly convinced of the absurdity of their doubts and of the perfect practicability of making important pro gress in sanitary reforms, The ,Smoke Prohibition Bill is to be turther considered in Committee on Wednesday next. We trust that all those who enter tain reasonable doubts as to the possibility of totally consuming smoke may, in the interval, avail them selves of the opportunity thus afforded of satisfying their scruples. As we have already ►stated, the measure may be so modified as to exempt from penal ties all persuns who may be enabled to show that they have, to the utmost of their power, endeavoured to prevent any infraction of the law by "adopting, and carefully using, some well• approved method for the consumption of the smoke issuing from their fur• nacea." Our readers can scarcely have overlooked the ex traordinary conclusion arrived at by the Committee appointed to inquire into the advisibility or non advisibility of some alteration being made in the rules of the House of Commons, relating to the presence of strangers in the gallery. That decision denied the necessity for any modifica tion of the existing power accorded to any Member to clear the House at a moment's notice of reporters —and by their exclusion for any length of time to revive the obsolete, and, we might say, the unconsti• tutional system of secret legislation. The reason advanced for the expression of this monstrous and egregious opinion is—actually--because the present rule has been an ancient and almost immemorial usage with the lower branch of the Legislature ! Why this is, plainly speaking, nothing more nor less than the old rampant spirit of ultra-Conservatism--the conserva tion of all the blundering old absurdities of our ancestors simply because they are the products of ancestral wiseacres ! According to the same prin ciple the laissez faire system should ride triumphantly over all the sanitary projects emanating from the office of Woods and Forests, or from the benevo lent conclave of philanthropists at Gwydyr House ! And the Registrar-General would find his returns multiplied by every venerable cesspool and putri fying graveyard re-opened to exhale their pestilential miasma, and to warm the cockles of the hearts of such very redoubtable sticklers for things of antiquity as the members of this incorrigible Committee ! Now as to the character of this same Committee. On looking over the names of its members we find no mention of Colonel PEYRONNET THOMPSON (the originator of the motion), and in the room of the Hon. and Gallant Representative for Bradford we absolutely find the name—of—Mr. Jour; O'CosisEnn! Is this, we ask, fair ? Is it rea sonable ? Is it decent ? Why, of course, Mr. Joust O'CONNELL sticks with the tenacity of a limpit to a system which enables him to gratify every fretful prompting of his egotism, every splenetic freak of his rather frivolous disposition, every cantankerous ebul lition of his wounded vanity and microscopic abilities. What is Colonel PEYRONNET THOMPSON about ? Surely he will not consent that a proposal dictated by so much sober reason shall be ridden over roughshod by the sympathisers with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Limerick ? Is there no means of forcing the matter irresistibly on the attention of the Commons ? What if the Representative of Bradford were to rise imme diately before every discussion upon a Government measure, and call the attention of Mr. SreasLuit to the presence of strangers in the reporters' gallery ? The effect would be complete; and the suggestion is not one to be overlooked. We call upon Colonel PEYRONNET THOMPSON to act thus in justice to himself, in justice to the public, to the press, and to the Parliament. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris p a p ers o f yes t er d ay. The Legislative Assembly postponed the considera tion of the demand for authorization to prosecute M. CANTAGREL, in order to afford that gentleman an opportunity of addressing the Assembly, he having signified a desire so to do. With respect to the de mand for authorization to prosecute MM. COMMIS.. SAIRE and KcRNIG, the Assembly proceeded at once to the vote; the Members of the Mountain, however, abstained from voting, and in consequence the first scrutiny was void, there not being a sufficient num ber of Members present. The Assembly then pro ceeded to a second scrutiny, and the President declared that the names of those who abstained fr.., votin g should bo pilhlishpil in the Moniteur ; notwithstanding this threat, however, the Montag nards again abstained from voting, and again the scrutiny was made, much to the annoyance of that most sweet-tempered of created beings, M. DUPIN. The Journal des Debats publishes the following dispatch, addressed to the Minister of Foreign Af fairs, by M. DE CORCELLES " Rome, July 7. " I return to the preoccupations of the Government at the moment when you did me the honour to address me on the 21 instant. It is important that public opinion should not be misled as to the circumstances of our entry into Rome; already more recent and more exact accounts must have re-assured you ; but I, notwithstanding, continue to prove to you the mode ration of our arms as though we had to defend ourselves against a charge of barbarism. As to the bombardment, I affirm that it did not take place, and I shall soon be pre pared to send you a proofof what I advance in the shape of the result of an inquiry which I have caused to be insti tuted for that purpose. I have already received the verbal retractations of several consuls. We form a committee where they are represented as well as the artistic body by M. Visconti, the Conservator of Monu ments at Rome. Up to this time I can say with car minty that 100 or 150 balls or shells at the utmost fell within the city, which is five leagues in circumference, and the traces of them are nowhere to be found. The use of these projectiles has only caused some wounds and the death of one person, but this fact is even dis puted. No old monument, no museum has been damaged. You will receive a precise report upon this subject. A certain number of private houses have been destroyed by the insurgents themselves to facilitate the fire of their fortifications, particularly in the neighbourhood of the Castle of St. Angelo. These are the only ravages of the war in this kind of destruction. As far as we are concerned we have only thrown down the outer walls and some redoubts at the en trance of the Janiculum. We have always said that the resistance was neither Roman nor national, and this is a proof of it ; the enemy made no use of his barricades, for the construction of which he was paid ; they cost a sum of from 2,000,000 f. to 3,000,000 t. The civic guards and the carabineers never willingly engaged in the combats, and at the last refrained from doing so. At the last moment they arranged with the muncipal council to open the gates to us. The Transteveraus—that is to say, the true people of Rome —received us well. If the resistance had been national, the country people would have annoyed us ; whereas a few companies of French troops were always sufficient to keep open our communications between Rome and the coast. The peasants constantly came into our camp. When we entered Rome about 12,000 Roman soldiers occupied the Castle of St. Angelo and the dif ferent military quarters; at the present time 4,000 of these men, who were foreigners to the city, have're ceived furloughs for their homes ; 4,000 regulars have joined us, and from 3,000 to 4,000 adventurers have fol lowed Garibaldi, and the greater number of them are al ready disbanded. In presence of such testimony, who will now maintain that we have attacked the will and the rights of a nation? " The following is the result of the inquiry instituted as to the damage:— " At the Vatican, in the hall of the tapestry, executed after the cartoons of Raphael, and in the picture repre senting the Preaching of St. Paul,' the lower extremity of the drapery of the figure on the left bears the trace of a ball. The lower trise of the picture also bears a similar mark, but the damage may be easily repaired. The fountain of the Aqua Paolina, near the St. Pan crasian gate, received one ball, which damaged some trifling masonry. The quantity of water has not been sensibly diminished. The church of St. Pietro, in Mon tonic), fortified and occupied by Garibaldi, and situated near the breach, bears the trace of numerous French balls. The chapel on the left, and the fresco paintings are intact, but the balustrade has been destroyed by the soldiers of Garibaldi; and some paintings have disap peared. The church was absolutely sacked. The little temple built on the spot where St. Peter was crucified has not been injured. To this small damage is, there fore, reduced the ravages of a siege which has been con ducted with the greatest moderation, and the calumnies heaped on our troops are thus made apparent." The National, after giving the POPE'S letter to General OUDINOT (which has already appeared) thus haveen s e u n p t t s s on eu r the ob ue rd precious_ w e on production :-- culthliiirNo doubt ou r rea d ers are now completely edified by campaign.lytaiFerocmounst 01. 00 t o o ur 6 o oO wn br s a o v i e . diers—froin 1,000 to 1,200 wounded are crowded toge ther in the hospitals of Corsica; from 30 to 40 millions, of which we sh a ll ere l ong stand sorely in need, wanting ' to the desperate appeal of M. Passy. All very true; but then have we not in return the benediction of Pius IX.. bestowed on General Oudi no t, an d t h e satis faction of knowing that in consequence of those trifling sacrifices certain honest and Christian persons'— Cal dinals, violet -robed Eminences, Abbey and Monks, Friars, Bet edictines, and Jesuits, will enjoy in peace the property which God has divided among them.' This is the most evident, aid, we ;ear, will be the only conse quence of this victory which the French army has won 4.er the enemies of human society,'—that is to sa y, o f Ecclesiastical Government as exercised under Gregory XVI.", The l Moniteur publishes an official notice that by a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, dated July 14, Vice-Admiral PANSEVAL-DESCIIESNES is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the squadron of the Alediterrauedn, in the ?law of Vice-Admiral BAUM. Another decree of the same date appoints Rear- Admiral MONTAGNIER DE LA ROQUE Major-General of the Marine at Brest, in place of Rear Admiral DESFOSSES, el , :cted .' representative of the people. The same official journal states that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, having received proofs that some persons to whom passports had been granted from the Foreign-office on their demand had made an im proper use of them, has determined that in future those passports shall not be entrtiated to any but diplomatic agents. General LamoawlEau has left Paris for the de partment of the Seine and Marne, from whence, after a short stay, he will proceed to the head quarters of the Emperor of RUSSIA. The sentence of death passed on a private of the 69th Regiment of Infantry, for acts of violence against his superior officers, has been commuted by the PRESIDENT of the Republic to hard labour for five years. In consequence of the enthusiastic manner in which the PRESIDENT of the Republic was received at Amiens on Sunday, h-! has accepted the invi t ations which he has received from Bordeaux and Nantes, and intends, it is said, making a progress through France during the course of the autumn. The Committee on the Budget have held several meetings. All are agreed that not only will new taxes be necessary, but that a new loan also must be contracted for. With regard to the reductions ' M. FRIERS demonstrated the impossibility of any reduc tion in the war department. Russia, he said, at the present moment compelled every power to place it self on a war footing. We are rejoiced to find that, notwithstanding his reactionary propensities, M. TRIERS has not yet lost all his old traditions. We feared he was on the point of becoming altogether Cossack.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY It was rumoured in Vienna on the 13th, that the Austrians had entered Buda and the Russians Pesth, but the rumour needs confirmation. The fortifica tions of Buda have been destroyed by GEORGEY, therefore the possession or the loss of Buda or Pesth is, in a strategetic point of view, of no importance. The Russians have been compelled to evacuate Debricsin and to fall back, appalled by the difficulties of the task they have undertaken to accomplish, diffi culties of which they had no conception until they were compelled to face them. In the meantime the Hungarians in the neighbourhood of Raab, inspirited by the two victories of GEORGEY at Acs, have resumed the offensive, and have forced back the Russo• Austrian army under HAYNAU. BEss, who is at Szegedin has been joined by the Magyar troops who were at Debrecsin. Several persons who were convicted of being accom plices in the hanging of LATOUR at Vienna, in October, have been sentenced to death. The sentence has, in every instance been commuted to hard labour in the public works. BADEN. The number of the Bad"n insurgent army which has entered Switzerland, either by Eglissu or Rhei nan, was nearly 4,000. They had with them thirty guns, several baggage waggons, and about 600 horses.

A letter from Berlin of the 15th says that the re giment of ALEXANDER, which took an active part in suppressing the insurrection at Dresden, had been re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm on its return to Berlin. The defeat of General BONIN at Fredericka had produced a most painful impression. The De mocratic party had resolved to take no part in the elections which were about to take place ; but the Ministerial party was actually exerting itself to in duce the middle and working classes to vote. THE DANISH WAR. A letter from Frankfort, of the 14th, addressed to the Cologne Gazette, says that the Vicar of the Em pire has protested against the conclusion of an armis tice between Prussia and Denmark without the participation, of the Central Government. The States of the Dueby of Brunswick have made a similar protest; and, according to the Altona Gazette, the Governor, President, and Vice-Presidents of the National Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein have also adopted a protest, and resolved not to execute the armistice. WALLACHIA. It is stated in a recent letter from Bucharest that BABU STIRBEY has been proclaimed sovereign Prince of Wallachia, in virtue of a firman of the SULTAN. PERSIA. On the 25th ult. a courier of the English Embassy brought intelligence to Constantinople, from Teheran, of the 2d, that the Persian Minister of War had set out on an expedition to crush an insurrection at Cho rasan. ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 9th instant. General OUDINOT has issued the following decree and proclamation : " DECREE.—The flag and insignia of a Government that has ceased to exist, and also the red cap, sign of terror and anarchy, shall disappear within twenty-four hours. The commanders of the various corps stationed in the rioni (qu4rters) of Rome, are charged with the execution of the present decree. " Rome, July 8. " The General-in• Chief, OUDINOT DE REGGIO." " GENERAL OUDINOT TO THE MAGISTRACY." "Various military men of different grades, having heard hat many inhabitants of Transtevere are in want of work. have spontaneously opened a subscription to assist them. The first list has at once produced a sum of a thousand francs. This shall he applied in the first instance to the destruction, under the direction of our soldiers of the engineer corps, of the barricades that still exist in the town. I also intend employing many inhabitants in works of artillery and engineering, which I might have confided to our soldiers. In every circumstance you will find us ready to second your efforts to guarantee public and private interests. Receive, Gentlemen, the assurance of my distinguished consideration. " The General-in-Chief, OUDINOT DE REGGIO." " Rome, July 8." The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th gives the fol lowing intelligence from Rome of the Bth : " By an order of the sth, all foreigners, subjects of the state, and soldiers with passports, are ordered to leave ithin 24 hours, on pain of being arrested and con ducted by the gendarmes to their place of residence, if Romans, or to the frontier, it foreigners.

Letters from Civita Vecchia with an English hiaof prisoners iso 11th ners state that Viterbo was occupied on the 9 th by 3.000 Fr enc h. M. Ricci, President of that province, and M.

No authentic intelligence has been received in Rome of the movements of GARIBALDI. VENICE. The following is the reply of Lord PALMERSTON to a letter from MArtiN the President of th e V enet i an Republic, soliciting the joint interference of England and France, and the recognition by those powers of the independence of Venice from Austria, the e sacrifices sub stance of which we gave in our Third Editio n l as t evening : have the honour to ae k nowledgethe b r e e h ce e i l p d : with of your letter of the 4th ult., and to assure y ou , i n thatreipthly,great sy, the mp G a o th v y er , nm n e o n t Government oonflyherthel!dasjelretY has made by the population of Venice during the last twelve months, in furtherance of the cause they have espoused, but also the order which has been main tained in the city during the whole of that period. But as regards the wish you have expressed in favour of your fellow-citiz -ns, that Venice should cease to belong to Austria, the Government of her Majesty can only say that the treaty of Vienna, of which England is one of the contracting parti€s, designated Venice as forming part of the Austrian state, and that the proposals of mediation made by England and France in August last were not with a view to the al erasion of that clause o. the treaty. No change can be effected in the political condition of Venice without the consent and cv-opers ti,n of the In penal Government, and that Goverment has already expressed its intentions in this respect. The Government of her Maj , .sty can only earnestly repeat the advice which was recently recommend•d to the Consul-General of her Majesty at Venice, to give in its name to the Government of Venice, namely, that the people of Venice should lose no time in coining to an amicable understanding with the Austrian autho rities, as the best means to restore the authority of the Emperor of Austria in the city of Venice, without a collision." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO 'fIIUEE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed with firmness. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of the mid. and ord. qualities of American wererl. per lb. higher. Brezil and Surat are also against the buyer, though scarcely id. per lh. The sales were 12,000 to 14,000 bales, including 5,000 American on speculation, and 1,000 for export.—The market for Railway Shares closed heavily end prices were rather lower. The quantity of wheat sold last week in the provincial markets, which regulate the duties, was only 57,979 quarters. The six weeks' average price is 45a. Bd. There have le , en very few ship arrivals to-day, and none bring any later intelligence of interest from the colonies, &n. The greatest attention just now will be directed to the position of bun gary, which, according to the letters received to day, seems to be succumbing to the superior force of its powerful opponents. In France, likewise, the progress of reaction, if we are to ere diz. the representations of those whose wish is father to the thought, must he very de eded, or, at any rate, the men now in power are taking advantage of the temporary distress, arising from political changes, to inculcate the nec es sity o f a r e action to monarchy. The period of disturbance and trial to which France must in such case be exposed, we need scarcely point out, and, with the: existing deficiency of revenue, there will be a hard task for the Government to induce capitalists to come forward in support of a loan. It is said that one great firm has been applied to, and, that although its co-operation is promised to a certain extent, there appears to be a decided unwillingness to take much responsibility in the matter. The prosperity of our banking institutions is usually a good index of the state of the country, and this applies nut only to England but likewise to her colonies. Of the latter we have had recent examples, and we noticed them at the time, and we may point with special grati fication to the statement of accounts presented yes terday at the meeting of the London and West minster Bank proprietors, and to the report made this morning to the London Joint Stock proprietors. During the half-year ending the 30th ultimo the net profits of the establishment were 33,433/. 14s. ld., out o which a dividend of 6 per cent. is declared, leaving a large balance to be carried to the reserve. The capital paid up is 600,000/. ; the amount due by the Bank is over 2i millions; the guarantee fund and interest amounts to 130,6961., and the balance to profit and loss 37,5801. The Exchequer-bills, India Bonds, &c., amounted to 686,703; the bills discounted, loans and cash, to 2,579,9651.; and the premises, furniture, Ste., to 28,5001. There Las been again rather a dull market tor Public Securities, and without particular alteration in prices.

It is well known that it is often administered to females and infants at most interesting and delicate periods. and therefore, we apprehend, it may be adopted without incurring the least danger, but, on the contrary, by adhering to the whole advice, much ber,efit may accrue in nearly all cases of bowel complaint. We therefore hope, on the grnund of humanity, that the metropolitan and provincial press may give the commu nication publicity, which, simple and economical as it is, we think it well deserves. _ - POST.
